AVID Acutus Reference SP Turntable and Full-Sized Power Supply
The Ultimate in Analog Playback Turns Every LP Into a Private Concert and Personal Retreat: 'Table Features Industry's Most Powerful Motor and 42-Pound DSP Power Supply
Standard-Setting Turntable and Power Supply Rethink Analog Playback: This is the Beginning of You Hearing Music Like It's Meant to Be Heard
An age-old philosophy guides the principles behind the AVID Acutus Reference SP turntable: If you're not going to do it right, don't bother doing it at all. Completely conceived by starting from a clean sheet of paper, the state-of-the-art instrument achieves unheard-of levels of musical transparency and realism by way of AVID's insistence on ignoring previous 'table designs and examining— piece by piece—the physics, properties, and characteristics involved in turntable playback. You will hear vinyl records come to life in ways that significantly change your life. Once you experience the Acutus Reference SP, you will ask yourself why you waited so long to listen to its consummate presentation. The good news is that the best listening of your life can start now.
"Almost immediately, the Ref SP became the go-to mechanism in my stable
of reference turntables. After a few days of comparisons, it was obvious
that I could not live without it. It also meant that a couple of other
turntables had to go."
– Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio
Turn Every LP into a Private Concert and Personal Retreat
Meticulous mechanics, minuscule details, and hyper-fine-tuned parts: You wouldn't be amiss if you mistake Reference SP as the analog equivalent of the world's most illustrious wristwatches. In the same way you savor the master craftsmanship of a fine Swiss chronograph dial watch with hundreds of complications, you will likewise revel in the exquisite precision and pinpoint exactness produced by this truly reference turntable. Paired with its accompanying state-of-the-art power supply, the Reference SP provides a seemingly endless array of sonic brilliance. You will immediately hear astounding bass and treble extension, microscopic detail, enlarged and widened soundstages, photographic naturalism, lower noise floor, exceptional transients, and vivid dynamics. You will be transported to your own private island, a retreat from everyday pressures where your favorite artists serenade and surround you. The Reference SP turns every LP into a private concert. All you need to supply is your coziest chair and tastiest beverage.
"...with the AVID, I finally got the rabbit by the ears. The Acutus
Reference SP combines bespoke build quality, ease of setup, and stellar
performance in a gorgeous package. What else could you possibly want?"
– Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio
Unique Design Elements and Power Supply Make the Reference SP Different
Achieving new, standard-setting heights for turntable playback isn't easy. And, no, it isn't cheap. But in the case of the Reference SP, you get what you pay for. Many of AVID's approaches differ from every other manufacturer. Then again, so do the results. AVID founder Conrad Mas literally threw away the book when creating the Reference SP. His refusal to compromise on any aspect and years of intense research led AVID to develop its unique "energy transmission system," which results in unparalleled record stability and zero vibration at the stylus. Opposite that of the competitors, AVID employs an intensely powerful hand-built synchronous motor to let the twin-belt drive control the platter. Offering ten times the power of conventional motors, AVID's unit is hand-tuned to the individual power supply, a genius invention deserving of inclusion in an audio hall of fame. Weighing in at an arm-straining 42 pounds, this DSP Vari-SPeed Power Supply utilizes DSP technology to control frequency generation and features a 1KV power transformer. It keeps motor speed precisely constant, reduces noise and vibration to incredibly low levels, bestows rock-solid stability, and epitomizes authority. It's one of the reasons why your records will sound utterly transparent, pure, vibrant, and lifelike.
Function-First Aspects Look Great and Enhance the Music You Love
Of course, the three-point-suspension Reference SP not only sounds fantastic, it looks like a million bucks. Amazingly, the appearance and materials stem from AVID's function-first strategies. In addition to the 'table's PSU and motor, other distinctive design characteristics include focusing the majority of mass in the platter—not the chassis/subchassis like other 'tables—to keep bearing noise to an absolute minimum. AVID also bonds a polymer disc to the 10kg aluminum platter to reflect vibration caused by the stylus and channel it through the bearing to which records is grounded. Hence, unlike plastic platters that store vibration or felt mats that cause records to vibrate, unwanted vibrations are effectively dispelled. Complex physics aside, what matters most is how AVID's evolved thinking impacts the music you adore. Put simply, the Reference SP extracts more music out of vinyl's grooves than any other 'table in its price class, and does so in a manner that enhances every prized audible aspect of music while simultaneously decreasing traits that distract from the musical experience.
Stop Wondering What Analog Nirvana Sounds Like
You could say the Reference SP represents the pinnacle of analog luxury. Perhaps. But what this terrifically overbuilt 'table really signifies is the beginning of you experiencing music as it's meant to be heard: With an ease and delightfulness that make you fall even deeper in love with your records, and give you peace of mind that no other pleasure can possibly equal. Backed by Music Direct's 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, the Reference SP is ready to engage your senses and end your pursuit of analog perfection. Stop wondering what analog nirvana sounds like. Start your lifelong relationship with the Reference SP today.
Tone Audio
During the past year or so the company has been introducing 'SP'
upgrades across its entire range of turntables. What we have here, is
the recent incarnation of Avid's flagship, the Acutus Reference SP. Like
all of the firm's decks with 'SP' nomenclature its external power
supply (that provides electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 rpm)
is a new design dubbed the 'DSP Vari-SPeed supply' featuring on-board
digital signal processing to control frequency generation. Also common
to Avid 'SP' decks is a twin belt drive system that claims to better
control platter dynamics and stability under load.
As the name implies, the power supply now allows fine speed adjustment.
On this top-of-range Reference supply for the Acutus, for example, there
are three buttons on the fascia. One starts and stops the platter, the
other two are for selecting the speed. Pressing and holding both speed
selection buttons simultaneously moves the unit into speed adjustment
mode, where one button speeds up the platter in fine increments and the
other slows it down. You'll need a strobe disc to set it accurately, of
course. Once the desired speed is reached, pressing both buttons
together once more stores the speed setting in memory.
While certainly looking every bit a super-heavyweight, with its
45cm-tall 10kg platter and chunky suspension towers, the Acutus is
actually a fairly compact design with a modest 410x360mm footprint, so
you'll have no difficulty accommodating it on the top shelf of any
standard-sized audio equipment rack. But don't forget you'll need a
substantial shelf to house the Reference power supply that sets this
deck apart from the 'standard' £8000 Acutus. The supply alone weights
just over 20kg alone.
If you choose to install it yourself rather than have your dealer set it
up for you, opening the substantial packing carton reveals a 'kit of
parts' that initially rather daunting. But the design is beautifully
thought out, and thanks to the explicit assembly instructions the Acutus
can be assembled in a matter of literally a few minutes. It's the
fitting of your chosen arm and accurately aligning your cartridge that
takes the time...
Comprising a main chassis of cast aluminium with levelling feet that
holds the deck's three suspension towers, and a separate motor unit that
is easily fixed in place with a rubber O-ring in a matter of seconds,
the separate subchassis sports three downward-facing 'legs' that simply
locate into each tower containing a suspension spring. Each of the
Acutus's three springs is the same, but adjustable so that the frequency
of movement is the same independent of load. Spring adjustments are
accessed through holes in the top of the towers using a supplied Allen
wrench. Rubber O-rings fixed to the three towers act as lateral damping,
and quickly return the platter to the vertical plane to provide a truly
pistonic up/down movement of the subchassis and platter, with a
resonant frequency of 2-2.5Hz.
Our sample was fitted with an SME Series V tonearm, into which was
installed Ortofon's sublime ruby-cantilevered Cadenza Blue moving coil
cartridge. The Acutus Reference's overall presentation appears tightly
focused and controlled. Leading edges of notes, from soft and delicate
to the loudest, most explosive crescendos, were sharply delineated and
squeaky clean. Jan Garbarek's 'Molde Canticle, Part 3 from his album I Took Up The Runes
sounded bold and powerful while possessing a beguiling coherence and
effortless, relaxed feel. The melodic lines delivered by bass maestro
Eberhard Weber were uncommonly easy to follow, where on lesser record
players the subtle touches and inflections in his playing become all too
easily blurred by over-prominent subsonic thumps of Manu Katche's kick
drum. And although Garbarek's wailing soprano saxophone can often become
jarring in digital EMC recordings such as this, the sound remained
lucid and actually rather silky - even when Garbarek let rip during
And this is not because the deck sounds smooth and mellow. Far from it,
as it displays plenty of attack and zest. Sounding fast and
authoritative partnered with the SME tonearm, there was joyous alacrity
to Sly 'n' Robbie's rhythm section on Joe Cocker's Sheffield Steel,
while his gruff vocal delivery stood out from the production with
uncommonly fine diction and projection. There was nothing bloated about
the sound of this turntable combo, everything appearing tight, sharp and
lucid, which allowed you to hear deep into the mix of complex
multitrack recordings to pick out the subtlest of details.
When listening to 'Couldn't Bear To Be Special' from Prefab Sprout's
Swoon album, the low frequency 'thunder' effects had the kind of control
one usually associates with CD replay, without an ounce of spare flesh
artificially colouring the sound. The Acutus Reference makes vinyl sound
not only clean but articulate too, Prefab Sprout's Paddy McAloon
appearing frail and exposed as the halo of reverberation around his
voice was portrayed vividly within the stereo image. The low-level
swirling of electronic keyboards in the recording, together with the
percussion fills and ethereal backing vocals, were delineated clearly
within a cavern of eerie blackness, sound images seemingly locked in
tight focus between and beyond the boundaries of the loudspeakers.
Its funny how the cosmetic appearance of a turntable can sometimes lead
one to second-guess how it might sound...but you'd be wrong if you
thought this grand and imposing Avid Acutus Reference SP might be all
about blood 'n' guts and thunder, with heroic bass to blow your socks
off. Not so. Its bass performance is impressive sure enough, Tony
Levin's thumping bass 'stick' on King Crimson's Beat album
demonstrating noble power and 'slam', but the Acutus' main sonic
character is best described as a 'stately coolness' - where nothing
appears forced or over lit.
The sound is ultra-clean, with fast, tight bass and lucid midband
combined with equally fast treble and superb detail retrieval. Somehow
it has the ability to sound explicit without a trace of harshness or
over-etching, so the weeping electronic guitar of Crimson's Robert Fripp
was exposed without ever becoming brittle.
As you'd imagine, female voices were beautifully served too. I found
myself captivated by the richness and detail in lead singer Martha
Johnson's voice when listening to Martha And The Muffin's 1981 LP This Is The Ice Age
despite Daniel Lanois' typically dense production. The combo did seem
to extract all the information it possibly could from the record's
30-year-old grooves.
HIFI NEW VERDICT : With its fabulous detail retrieval and focused
sound, the Acutus Reference SP delivers a captivating performance.
Moreover its elaborate suspension makes it immune to the vagaries of
positioning - not something that can be said of most turntables.
Beautifully made, compact, easy to set up and maintain, the only reason
not to want it is the high-end cost. Aaah... the price of luxury.
I also received AVID's new Pulsare Phono. They regard it as their crown
jewel and proudly first told me about it when we met during the Audio
Show 2009. Poland actually became one of the first places where the
Acutus Reference was shown with this phono stage. The Pulsare Phono
consists of two units – the power supply and the amplification. With the
Pulsare we have access to amplification and load settings from the
front panel, which is key. The Pulsare amplifier has a fully balanced
architecture so naturally the cartridge signal can be supplied balanced
(each cartridge is naturally balanced versus tone arm ground) to the XLR
input socket of the phono stage.
Together with the Air Tight PC-1 Supreme cartridge, the Avid in balanced
connection always showed the sunny side of the world. If I would like
to embed this in some psychological context, I would call this deck a
born optimist. There's nothing in the world, which would not be
worthwhile, nothing so bad, and boring as to not invite a closer look.
Anthropomorphization of course is never the best research strategy if we
aspire to objectivity. From my experience, such approximations are
simply very helpful when we attempt to describe matters, which are
closely related to emotions. We better understand multidimensional
complexity when we compare it to something similar/familiar - and music
is obviously emotional. Optimist thus should hit the spot.
The British turntable sounds very civilized. I wrote about this already
when describing the Acutus but here it was even more pronounced. All
events on stage make sense. Everything has a common denominator, which
holds it all together. If the voice is most important as on Mel Tormé at The Red Hill, then his voice will be showcased as the star. But when it is an interaction of two parallel elements as on Mel Tormé Swings Shubert Alley
where the vocalist is accompanied by The Marty Paich Orchestra, then
those become clearly—very clearly—two equally important elements. Both
are rich in micro events within their boundaries and intriguing. But
when playing together, it's all about their interaction and how they
combine. It's not about analysis of each element separately.
Like a source code, this sound has a built-in good attitude towards what
the diamond reads from the groove. 'Good attitude' is not a precise
descriptor but the best I have, which describes what I want to convey.
Regardless of recording quality or condition of the vinyl, we can be
sure that the Avid system will do its best to retrieve the best from the
recording. This simply is how Avid has designed their turntables to
sound. They don't confront reality. They befriend it.
Although less costly derivatives like the Volvere, Sequel and Diva have
subsequently been developed, the Acutus was the first Avid to be
introduced and remains the flagship model in the range. The standard
version with its normal, quite chunky, 80VA outboard power supply
remains available at £7300, but is now joined by the Acutus Reference.
The Reference shares the same basic turntable but has a much larger,
more powerful power supply, which weighs slightly more than the
turntable thanks to an extravagant 1kVA transformer.
The Acutus has done much to set the current fashion for skeletal oil-rig
styling. Its exceptional standard of fit and heavily chromed finish
making a strikingly handsome style statement. No turntable can function
on its own, so we asked Avid to supply a partnering tonearm. The company
is still working on its own design, so fitted an SME Series V, and also
supplied the mounting and lower section of a Naim ARO.
The first, most abiding impression was just how clean it made vinyl
sound. The Acutus seems to pin the music down as tightly and with as
much control as any CD player. This is at least partly due to that
Reference power supply, as comparison with the standard unit clearly
revealed. The broad tonal character of the combo was consistent
whichever supply was used, but the larger Reference supply tightening
everything up significantly. Particularly, the bass and lower midband
were better detailed and stereo focus was improved.
With Avid's very solid ARO mounting platform
installed, I was on more familiar ground and able to put the Acutus
into some sort of context with two other turntables- an
Armageddon-driven Linn and an early Rega Planar 9. Once again, the sheer
precision and stability of the Avid was immediately apparent- much more
like the Rega than the Linn, especially the way voices and lead
instruments occupied and dominated stage-front.
This turntable projects music with a bold confidence and a notably
strong and dynamic midband and presence. The bass, too, is punchy and
precise, though not the last word in weight and agility. Although this
is undoubtedly impressive some recordings can also sound a little forced
and the result can sound a little sparse. That said, the overall
solidity, stability and image focus set very high standards indeed.
Naturally this level of transparency applies to LP's as well, and do
keep in mind that although I listened to two different cartridges on the
Avid, the only arm I auditioned was the excellent SME V, whose own
character leans just a tad to the dark side of the spectrum. Hearing
Johnny Cash sing 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,' from American IV:
When the Man Comes Around, Revealed a few more things about the Avid.
For one, groove noise on this turntable is extremely low, particularly
when paired with the Air Tight PC-1, which in my experience is simply
unequalled in this area. Next was the Acutus Reference's way of digging
down to reveal production details. Producer Rick Rubin deliberately
swathed Cash's voice in a gigantic halo of reverb, and over the Avid it
came across as never before-as if an electronic nimbus were surrounding
his head, which seemed to hover like that of the wizard of Oz, several
feet behind, just above, and smack in between my Kharma Mini Exquisite
speakers. Most importantly, though, the Avid delivers the emotional
goods-Cash's raw, broken voice, drenched in a church-like reverb, the
dirge-like insistence of two strummed acoustic guitars, and the swell of
the funeral parlor organ burrowed into your soul like grief itself.
Lowering the stylus into the 45rpm pressing of Monk's 'Brilliant
Corners', the slightly hesitant opening theme of 'Ba-lue Bolivar
Ba-lues-are' gives way to a series of solos by each band member. As each
player improvises the theme, the Avid brought forth a powerful sense of
their instruments' presence and musical force. From the reedy swoop of
Ernie Henry's alto sax, to Monk's at first plinkity-plonk then fluid
piano playing, from Sonny Rollins' tenor run that pokes around a bit
before launching into brilliant improv, to Oscar Pettiford's bass solo,
which seems not just grounded to the floor but rooted to the very earth,
to Max Roach's
drums-delivered with a transient snap and dynamic force we hope for but
so rarely get from our systems.
Finally, Hans Werner Henze's 1973 composition 'Tristan' runs from calm
passages for solo piano and the breath of a few woodwinds, to
near-chaotic stretches for full-throttle orchestra that include the
clamor of high-pitched percussion and woodwinds, strings that are bowed
and plucked as well as tapped and scraped with bows, and all manner of
violent-sounding taped sounds, with quotes from Wagner's opera and the
Brahms's First thrown in for good measure. The Acutus Reference &
Co. tracked these as if they were lullabies. It also displayed a special
ability to pull the minutest details of technique and timbre from the
grooves, never lose a single thread of this highly complex music, to
display a dazzlingly beautiful array of tone colours, to carve out a
most impressive soundstage of tremendous depth, width, and height, to
project dynamics with a convincingly lifelike range of no apparent
limits, and to recreate a piano's sound with exceptional presence,
lengthy decay, and bold lower-octave chords with a persuasive sense of
weight and power behind them.
Avid's Acutus Reference clearly ranks among the handful of top analog playback contenders.
What I can say with confidence is that the Acutus Reference is one of
the most musical-sounding record players you can buy, one of the most
intelligently designed, thoroughly engineered, and beautifully made, one
of the most compact, and one of the easiest to set up and maintain. And
the fact that the company's range starts at $2500 means that, even if
you can't spring for the Reference, another Avid is well worth

How new species are formed remains one major question in evolutionary biology. The focus of speciation research in recent years has gradually shifted from broad geography-based models of sympatry versus allopatry toward understanding the mechanisms that give rise to reproductive isolation (RI) potentially resulting in speciation (Rice and Hostert 1993; Schluter 2001; Coyne and Orr 2004; Rundle and Nosil 2005; Butlin and Ritchie 2009; Fry 2009; Butlin et al. 2012) . Experimental evolution and laboratory selection approaches are particularly useful for understanding the mechanistic bases of evolutionary processes and such methods are being employed increasingly to study the evolution of RI (Reviewed in Rice and Hostert 1993; Ritchie 2007). While several laboratory studies have shown that partial RI can evolve as a correlated response to divergent selection on behaviors (Del Solar 1966; Hurd and Eisenberg 1975; Markow 1981; Lofdahl et al. 1992) or life-history traits (Miyatake and Shimizu 1999), or adaptation to different environments (Kilias et al. 1980; Rice and Salt 1988; Dodd 1989; Boake et al. 2002; Rundle et al. 2005; Vines and Schluter 2006; Dettman et al. 2007, 2008), studies providing evidence of the mechanisms underlying the correlated evolution of RI are meager (reviewed in Coyne and Orr 2004; Fry 2009). In the melonfly Bactrocera cucurbitae, selection for slow and fast preadult development led to changes in circadian clock period that, in turn, led to the evolution of RI due to changed phase of the circadian mating rhythm (Miyatake and Shimizu 1999). Divergent adaptation to nutritional (Rundle et al. 2005: Drosophila serrata) aspects of different environments can directly result in evolutionary shifts in display and reception of visual or chemical signals involved in mate recognition/choice. Such results provide evidence for the involvement of "classic" sexual selection in mediating RI. In yeast and Neurospora, adaptation to different environments has been shown to result in RI via genetic incompatibilities (Dettman et al. 2007, 2008).
In this study, we focus on the possible role of mating success and sexual conflict, both likely mediated by divergent body size evolution, in creating reproductive barriers between populations of Drosophila melanogaster selected for rapid preadult development and their ancestral controls. Sexual selection has long been thought to be an important driver of speciation, because it directly acts on traits related to mate recognition and reproductive success, and species typically show considerable divergence in such traits (West-Eberherd 1983; Panhuis et al. 2001; Ritchie 2007). The degree and precise form of sexual selection can differ among populations undergoing divergent adaptation, and this has been thought to cause reproductive traits to diverge between populations, potentially leading to the formation of reproductive barriers (Panhuis et al. 2001; Arnqvist and Rowe 2005; Rundle and Nosil 2005; Ritchie 2007). However, most evidence in support of the role of sexual selection in speciation comes from comparative data, and clear empirical support for this view is largely lacking (Panhuis et al. 2001; Kraaijeveld et al. 2011; but see Boughman 2001). It is also increasingly realized that divergent sexual selection, in the sense of phenotypic variation being correlated with differential mating success, can result in myriad direct and indirect ways from divergent ecological adaptation (Ritchie 2007; Maan and Seehausen 2011).
Another phenomenon related to sexual selection is sexual conflict, which arises when traits that increase fitness in one sex simultaneously impose fitness costs on the opposite sex (Chapman et al. 2003). Such conflicts can give rise to sexually antagonistic coevolution, where adaptive change in one sex leads to counter-adaptation in the other (Chapman et al. 2003). Sexual conflict can also bring about rapid changes in reproductive traits and has been thought to play a role in generating RI between diverging populations (Parker and Partridge 1998; Rice 1998; Arnqvist et al. 2000; Gavrilets 2000; Gavrilets et al. 2001). Again, as in the case of sexual selection, there is a paucity of clear empirical data linking sexual conflict and RI (Panhuis et al. 2001; Gavrilets and Hayashi 2005; Ritchie 2007; Kraaijeveld et al. 2011; Maan and Seehausen 2011). Although laboratory selection has been fruitfully deployed to study the evolutionary consequences of sexual selection and sexual conflict in general (Rice 1996; Blows 2002; Rundle et al. 2005; Prasad et al. 2007; Ritchie 2007; Morrow et al. 2008; Edward et al. 2010; García-González 2011), empirical evidence for links between sexual selection/conflict and evolution of RI is inconsistent. Increasing the level of sexual conflict led to the evolution of RI in some studies (Martin and Hosken 2003; Hosken et al. 2009), but not in others (Wigby and Chapman 2006; Bacigalupe et al. 2007; Gay et al. 2009).
Body size, an important life-history trait ontogenetically linking the preadult and adult stages in holometabolous insects, is strongly correlated with preadult development time in D. melanogaster (Chippindale et al. 1997; Prasad and Joshi 2003). Selection for rapid development in D. melanogaster has repeatedly been shown to result in the correlated evolution of smaller body size (Zwaan et al. 1995; Nunney 1996; Chippindale et al. 1997; Prasad et al. 2000). Moreover, body size is also known to play a significant role in sexual selection and sexual conflict in Drosophila. Large females are generally more fecund (Stearns 1992; Roff 2002) and are often preferred by males (Andersson 1994; Byrne and Rice 2006). Bigger size typically confers greater competitive ability in male-male competition in D. melanogaster (Partridge and Farquhar 1983; Partridge et al. 1987a,b; Markow 1988; Markow and Ricker 1992), and large males are also often preferred by female flies (Ewing 1961; Markow 1986; Partridge et al. 1987a; Pitnick 1991). However, the preference for larger males can also give rise to sexual conflict because mating with large males reduces female lifespan and egg-production rates (Pitnick and García-González 2002; Friberg and Arnqvist 2003; Taylor et al. 2008). Given that both development time and body size in Drosophila can evolve in response to a variety of selection pressures in both laboratory and natural habitat (reviewed by Prasad and Joshi 2003), we focus here on the influence of development time and body size evolution on reproductive traits in laboratory populations of D. melanogaster to examine whether mating success and sexual conflict may be mediating RI in this system.
We studied a set of four laboratory populations of D. melanogaster that have been selected for rapid development for over 300 generations, and have also evolved reduced body size relative to the four ancestral control populations (Fig. 1; Prasad et al. 2000, 2001; Ghosh-Modak 2009). The selected populations have also evolved reduced lifespan and fecundity, preadult larval competitive ability, changes in larval behavioral traits, and decreased resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses during both larval and adult stages (Prasad et al. 2000, 2001; Prasad 2004; Shakarad et al. 2005; Ghosh-Modak 2009; Ghosh-Modak et al. 2009). We tested for RI between the selected populations and their ancestral controls, and found evidence for two complementary asymmetric pre and postmating barriers to effective reproduction between selected and control populations. We found no evidence for any direct effect of the large life-history divergence between selected and control populations on postzygotic RI through genetic incompatibility resulting in hybrid breakdown. We discuss our results in the light of sexual selection and possible sexual conflict in these populations, and show how the likely mechanism of the evolution of RI in this study underscores the subtlety with which natural selection and sexual selection can interact to yield isolation.

How Earth Made Us Review: Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
January 19, 2010 by Emily Moulder
Filed under - Home, Reviews
HOW EARTH MADE US – DEEP EARTH: Tuesday 19th January, BBC 2, 9pm ALERT ME
Just when you thought David Attenborough had cornered the market on natural world documentaries, along comes Professor Iain Stewart to prove you wrong.
While it felt a little like a video you might watch in a school science lesson, unlike those science lessons, globe-trotting with Stewart proves to be a fun and educating experience.
His casual, easygoing teacher approach to the subject of fault lines and tectonic plates make the subject much easier to digest than the actual science may be.
I'm not saying it's dumbed down but it's clear there are gaps in the explanations. Perhaps it's actually better to pick and choose your examples than try to cram too much into an episode. Whatever his method or intention, Stewart does choose some interesting places to visit to better explore the often volatile topic of fault lines.
From crystal caverns deep underground, looking suspiciously like Superman's Fortress of Solitude, to the oil fields of California, it seems the fault lines play more of a role in shaping modern life than we would realise. Covering thousands of years, ancient peoples, modern cities and cultures, Stewart presents the story of Earth in a palatable format. While he tries to include everyone in the discussion, his efforts may come off as patronising in places.
Stewart pays particular attention to the ancient Crete civilization of the Minoans and how their power grew as they used fault lines and other natural resources to their advantage. It was also good to see Stewart getting involved in exploring the sites he described, such as rock climbing the volcano that destroyed the Minoans and being lowered into a 150ft well in the middle of the desert.
The photography is beautiful and if you can I would definitely recommend catching this show in HD. Billowing mushroom clouds from erupting volcanoes and the glistening white rock of the Hierapolis healing pools are just two of the stunning sights included here. Roll on episode two: wind.

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!! By krazykelbs on 9/9/2016krazykelbs wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI purchased this product in Jan 16' starting off doing manual programming was fine until I wanted to program off my personal computer, then the nightmares began! The software would load onto the computer but not recognize the controller. Called the customer support, 9 time out of 10 you will not get a live person, forced to leave message. The one time I was able to talk to a live person he directed me to the FAQ web page. After viewing the page I come to realize that I was not the only person with this type of problem, and apparently not very many people were able to get the problem worked out! I contacted BRS to see if anything could be done on their end, THEY(BRS) has outstanding customer service! BRS did about all that they could do and said they would also try and look into having someone contact me to help solve the problem. if you only have a light or two and maybe a pump to control this would work ok, but if your trying to control a bunch of different things. . .check into a different brand and spend more money. In the last 3 months I would say I have left 12-18 messages and way too many emails to count, with only 1 reply and no resolve to my issue.
Well worth the investment By Dan on 9/9/2016Dan would recommend this product to a friendI have had mine for around 7 months and absolutely love it. It was a little difficult to figure out at first but I downloaded the instructions of of their website and was able to figure it out. It has worked very well for me and I haven't had any issues with it.
Worth the money!! By Tyler on 4/21/2016Tyler would recommend this product to a friendI first saw this controller on the BRS videos on how to start a saltwater tank. I was immediately sold just on the money saved by buying the controller and not timers! The biggest plus to having this controller is the amount of hassle it takes out of owning a reef tank.
Excellent value By JJ on 12/15/2015JJ would recommend this product to a friendThis is a great system for the money. Highly satisfied. I did order additional power module to have total of 12 outlets. Very expandable and intuitive to use. Timer settings can get a little complicated but i think it is a necessary evil to be able accept complicated multiple timer programing. Fraction of the cost of Neptune system.
Good but you're controlling By Cartman on 11/15/2015Cartman would recommend this product to a friendGood budget controller Manual That give us not the greatest but YouTube helps a lot . Good have a problem with my temperature probe but brs and Digital aquatics help me and sent a new one for me . Only wish u can add few more module to it it comes with 3 and u can only have 4 with the lite
Good product and service By Pablo on 11/8/2015Pablo would recommend this product to a friendThis is an excellent low-priced monitor and controller. The manual is poorly written, and that's why I'm giving it 4 points, otherwise very good. Bulk Reef Supply have an amazing service, quick delivery and everything easy, highly recommendable.
Happy By Ken on 10/2/2015Ken would recommend this product to a friendNeed better instructions with device. Had to watch Youtube and BRS videos to get everything up and running and calibrated correctly. After getting all going it controls everything great. Still need to find how to control wavemakers for more run time.
Simply Amazing! By Steve on 6/26/2015Steve would recommend this product to a friendI love how easy this controller makes it to monitor your parameters and adjust settings. It makes controlling and running your tank and umpteen gadgets a breeze. It seems a little pricy up front but when you consider how many products it combines into one its totally worth it. It's also very user friendly to set it up and connect all your equipment to it.
Like but with a few issues By Robert on 11/5/2014Robert would recommend this product to a friendI think overall this is a great product. It's very easy to setup even though the instructions could be a little better. I had a problem with the SL1 and contacted the company VIA email since calling didn't work well. After 9 days I finally received a tracking number for my replacement SL-1. They were great helping me troubleshoot it but slow to ship the replacement. The cable from the TEMP probe is cheap and could be better made. Once I plugged in my SL-1 everything worked great but I'm still getting an I-Temp error and I'm waiting on a response from DA. Also, it was easy to figure out how to setup a heater but after playing with it I finally got it.
Not worth it!!! By Raymond on 10/22/2014Raymond wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI've had my ReefKeeper Lite Plus for a year now. I still can't get it to work properly. Some things go off and I can't turn them back on. The controls are not user friendly. I'll never by this again

the saga lyrics – cormega
(man talking) yo mega man, whats the deal son?
(mega) yo son, whattup?
(man) yo, i'm just sittin' here, zonin' out, thinkin' about how life is
yo, life's general for us, you know? how we livin' out here, you know,
things we go through man, why we gotta go through this life?
(mega) life is an interlude to death son, you ever thought about that?
[verse 1]
the saga begins
i'm a reflection of the drama within
the ghetto i live in, n*gg*s moms on crack, pops just disappeared
the first time you get locked up who really cares?
i see a little snotty nosed with his sneakers on backwards
sleepin' on a mattress when i go to make a sale
at times i wonder, are we goin' straight to h*ll?
or does god realize we're tryin' to make it as well
my sleep is interrupted by food on the stove
not gun shots, we're immune to those
some of my friends first bids are two to fours
others are on the run with huge rewards
mothers watch son's walk through the door
for the last time 'till they go view at the morgue
life is deep, we all just tryin' to eat
rap's a mental narcotic, i supply the streets
look at my life, you see white c*ke and black roses
and tears shed for p*ssed soldiers
we all walkin' the path chosen
from the cradle 'till the casket's lowered
i still got the black ski mask to throw on
but i can get richer off the tracks i flow on
i'd be lyin' if i said i wasn't hustlin' no more
look at my life.
[verse 2]
life ain't fair, shorty pregnant with nowhere to live
sleepin' in a crackhouse 'cause she don't got no relatives
her friends wanna drink brew and beef about who's sale it is
now she's gettin' hungry, she smells the marijuana scent
i paint a picture vividly
as if pic*sso's spirit entered me
starin' at the heavens, secluded in a tinted jeep
i'm sick of hearin' eulogies
i realize my n*gg* blue is – a reminder of my past like greek ruins
yet his seek keeps bloomin'
uneffected by police intrusions
or street illusions we were consumed wit'
i've even grown away from people i grew wit'
i mean we cool, but i don't need to bullsh*t
my mood could switch easily from smooth to ruthless
we ain't built the same so mind games are useless
times change, like the climate i change
check the forecast, i reign
[verse 3]
live n*gg*s i rep for, deceased, i pour moet for
those incarcerated, my heart is wit' y'all
i know at times it gets hard behind penetentiary bars
then once free you realize you're mentally scarred
if not physically, if subjected to correctional facilities
prepare for your future to the best of your ability prosper, otherwise
you've been conquered
blowin' up her mobile phone so she can send you a box
son, i sit inside my residence
and thank god i'm blessed with this poetical gift evident in every
ghetto like graffiti and crack sales
and cabs that won't stop for black males
undercovers givin' younger brothers bad stares
fours clap, dogs cr*p in the gr*ss here
you love to hear the story son, the saga began here
mc are fict*tious yet there's actual facts here
like the bible said, jesus had napped hair

DEFINITION of 'Double Gearing'
Used to describe situations where multiple companies are using shared capital to buffer against risk occurring in separate entities without the proper documentation of exposure.
BREAKING DOWN 'Double Gearing'
Most common in financial sectors, one frequent example is insurance companies purchasing shares in banks as a reciprocal arrangement for loans. In these cases, both institutions are leveraging their exposure to risk.

Artist, Vermont gallery grapple with community standards
A Burlington, Vt., art gallery and a Boston-based artist struggled last month with community standards after a curator determined that a painting of a man with an erection was too explicit for the general public.
"It wasn't a vitriolic or mean-spirited or name-calling event," said Doreen Kraft, director of Burlington City Arts. "We agreed to disagree."
Selene Colburn, the 28-year-old Boston-based artist who pulled her exhibit from the gallery, agreed that the dispute was cordial, noting that she didn't run around crying "censorship" after the gallery's decision.
Colburn said she didn't feel her work was compromised "because I can show it somewhere else. I do feel like they compromised the public. I think they underestimated the public because they didn't give them an opportunity to make an intelligent response on their own."
For weeks, Colburn was eager to return to her hometown of Burlington, Vt., and open her show, "My Museum," at the downtown gallery.
But the day before the exhibit, Colburn learned that the curator had determined that one piece — a collaboration between her and a San Francisco artist that included a tattooed man with an erect penis — was too sexually explicit and would not be shown.
Unable to persuade the gallery to keep the piece, Colburn pulled the entire exhibit.
"One day I was going to have this great show and get to show everybody my work," she said. "And then the next day, I didn't feel like I could have it."
The exhibit, "My Museum," was to have opened July 17. But on the day before the exhibit was to open, curator Pascal Spengemann examined the complete exhibit and expressed concern about a pastel of a nude man with an erection. The piece, drawn by Dale Wittig of San Francisco, included one of Colburn's sketches.
Kraft said Spengemann and a couple of board members examined the piece in question and determined that the work "looks like it's beyond what we're able to do."
Kraft said that a public gallery, unlike a private one, has to abide by some community standards because children tour the gallery. Specifically, the piece violated a gallery guideline that prohibits nudity of a strong sexual nature or that promotes hate or violence.
Kraft said the city developed the standard eight years ago in response to a practice in which council members routinely prohibited the exhibition of any artwork containing nudity. She said the city had nearly 400 residents examine eight different pictures of nudity to determine the community's comfort level.
The survey, Kraft said, resulted in a more liberal and progressive standard.
Using that guideline, Spengemann made the final decision to not show the piece.
"We had a long heart-to-heart talk" with Colburn, Kraft said. "We agreed to disagree, and she pulled her show out."
Colburn said "My Museum" was to be a fund-raising effort for the gallery and would have included several dozen of her pieces as well as six works from other artists who had incorporated her designs. She said she pulled the entire show because she didn't want to compromise her principles.
"I was worried about accountability," she said. "A lot of people wouldn't have been able to look me in the eye if I had put down one of these potentially homoerotic pieces and kept the rest of the show."
Although another gallery in town displayed the six collaborative pieces, including the painting of the man with an erection, Colburn said the artwork was a small part of her exhibit.
"That's not my show," she said. "My show is gone. No one is looking at my art, but everyone is looking at the big boner show. It couldn't be further than what my original intentions were."
Without an exhibit, the gallery quickly arranged an invitational show. Calling it the "Firehouse Open," the gallery gave the first 50 artists to walk through the door an opportunity to display their works if they met the gallery's criteria.
Kraft said the city arts program decided to hold a community forum this fall to talk about the 8-year-old standard and whether the issue needs to be revisited. She said a date hasn't been scheduled.
"It's a good dialogue basically. We're encouraged," Kraft said. "The most important thing is to get people to talk. Probably every generation should look at it. And you have to be ready for it, so you can turn back the standard if necessary."

Mobile phone plan or prepaid option? How can you decide what's right for you?
According to Canstar Blue's research, 74% of plan users feel that they offer better value for money than a prepaid option, while 78% of those on a prepaid option feel that prepaid is better value for money than a plan. Surely they can't both be right?
Perhaps they can. After all, value is in the eye of the beholder.
We also spoke to Channel Nine news on this subject.
In favour of prepaid phone options
If you don't use your phone a great deal, if you're not into the range of Aussie movie and TV streaming services now available; if you're on a tight budget or perhaps paying for someone elses' phone, prepaid could be the option for you.
"Prepaid gives customers ultimate spending control – if you don't have credit, you can't blow your budget," explains amaysim's Head of Corporate Affairs & Communications, Gerard Mansour.
"It's particularly useful for people on low or fixed incomes as well as parents looking to control their kids' spending and teach them about financial responsibility. If children go through their allocated credit before a certain date, having to ask mum and dad for more is a great way to learn how to monitor usage (and perhaps they will end up washing a few dishes to earn the extra credit!)"
And then there are phone expiations. While there seems to be a new iPhone model every few months or so, and an upgraded Galaxy every other month, only 18% of Canstar Blue's survey respondents who used a prepaid option expected their phone to last less than two years. We're a thrifty bunch.
In favour of phone plans
Depending on the length of your phone plan, it does afford you the ability to upgrade your handset semi-regularly and 66% of the Canstar Blue survey respondents who were on a phone plan did indeed acquire their handset this way.
Everyone has different needs and wants though, and it's important to choose a plan which is going to suit you. Mr Mansour recommends keeping the following in mind:
The handset
"The old saying goes, "if it is too good to be true then it probably is." Make sure you don't sign up for more than you bargained for, like a one or two year set of handcuffs and spend commitment in exchange for a 'free' handset," cautions Mr Mansour. "Sometimes it's cheaper to go for a SIM-only plan and bring your own handset."
There are a huge range of smartphones available these days, so if you don't need the latest and greatest smartphone, there are definitely savings to be had.
Customer service
Sometimes, things do go wrong so it is worth finding out what kind of support your telco offers. "Don't wait until there's a problem to do this; find out in advance who will be there to help and if you can help yourself," says Mr Mansour. "More and more people are looking to areas like DIY self-service, Live Chat and social media for support, so make sure you have options available if you do need to get something sorted."
Price is definitely a key consideration when choosing a phone plan. You need to find a plan that suits your budget as well as your lifestyle. "If you choose a plan that doesn't allow for lots of usage, if you're a regular user of your phone, you could be on a fast-track to additional charges," says Mr Mansour. "On the other end of the scale, if you choose a plan with all the bells and whistles but you don't need them, you may end up paying for things you don't need – kind of like always having to throw out half of the food in your fridge because you buy too much every week. When pricing a plan, ask questions such as, how much do calls and texts cost? How much data is included? What are the extras hidden in the fine print? If you can't easily find out this information, it might be time to keep shopping."

October 27, 1958
Petition of the STEAMSHIP COMPANY OF 1949, Inc., for an order permanently enjoining Thomas J. Fitzgerald, the Public Administrator for the County of New York, from arbitrating any and all disputes arising under the Charter Party dated January 5, 1951 between Pierre Atychides and the Steamship Company of 1949, Inc. Petition of Thomas I, FITZGERALD, as Administrator of the Goods, Chattels and Effects of Pierre Atychides, deceased, for an order directing Steamship Company of 1949, Inc. to proceed to arbitration in accordance with the terms of its written agreement with said decedent
Thomas I. Fitzgerald, the Public Administrator for the County of New York, moves for an order directing Steamship Company of 1949, Inc., to arbitrate a claim allegedly arising in favor of the Public Administrator's intestate, Pierre Atychides, through respondent's breach of a charter party.
Respondent cross moves for an order enjoining movant from proceeding to arbitration on three grounds, viz.: '1. The petitioner is not a proper party to the Arbitration Agreement. 2. The Letters of Administration issued to the petitioner were improperly granted. 3. That the claim asserted by the petitioner is barred by the Statute of Limitations and/or limitation of time and/or laches.'
If the reason first advanced by respondent is construed an argument that the contract to arbitrate was personal to Pierre Atychides and died with him, it is not sufficient to bar the relief sought. There was nothing in the relations between the decedent and the respondent which would sustain the conclusion that the parties intended the charter party to be a personal contract.
The second ground advanced in support of respondent's cross-motion is in effect a plea that the Public Administrator either is not the real party in interest
or has no capacity to sue.
Prima facie, the Public Administrator is the proper party to assert the claims of the estate of Pierre Atychides.
Any collateral attack on his capacity or interest in the dispute will be before the arbitrators because the plea is assertable in the arbitration proceeding
with so much of the third defense as raises the bar of the Statute of Limitations.
However, the balance of the third defense of, i.e., laches, must be passed upon on the instant application.
The court finds that the respondent has shown no circumstances accompanying the delay in pressing for arbitration which resulted in any present detriment to it other than the naked possibility that an award may be had against it by petitioner. On the other hand, petitioner shows facts which explain why an order for arbitration was not heretofore sought.
The defense that petitioner 'is not a proper party to the Arbitration Agreement' and the defense of laches are overruled on this proceeding. The other defenses asserted by Steamship Company of 1949, Inc., are reserved for the arbitrators.
