Peter Jackson's latest work West of Memphis is not the most attractive film. The documentary focuses on the 'West Memphis Three' case from the early 90s of the assault and murder of three young children in Memphis. When Peter Jackson is involved, you know it's going to be something good. The documentary attempts to discover the true criminals in the case. Without getting into it too much, the heavy and dark story is set to be accompanied by one hell of a soundtrack.
Featuring the likes of Pearl Jam's frontman Eddie Vedder, Henry Rollins, Bob Dylan, Marilyn Manson, Band of Horses and a s**tload more, it's clear that they're not messing around. Even Johnny Depp makes an appearance. NME reports that this expansive soundtrack will act to bring out the sinister nature of the subject at hand, and makes the documentary that much more enticing. The documentary is due out December 25th after it received sensational reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

Mid-March is when some skiers start to wind down. But for Jökull Bergmann, who runs a heli-skiing operation in Iceland, the winter is only just beginning.
"Our ski season starts in mid-March and lasts until mid-June. Heli-skiing is considered sort of the king of skiing. It just involves flying in a helicopter to the top of a mountain, then getting dropped off and skiing all the way down. Here in North Iceland that buys you views over the Arctic Ocean and the chance to ski 3,000-metre runs all the way to the ocean and then get picked up on the beach."
Mr Bergmann's name translates as "glacier mountain-man"; his website uses a slightly different spelling: bergmenn.com.

I am still participating in Illustration Friday. It's actually a fun break from doing the more formal ( if you can call my art formal) pet portraits. I have two commissions for the holidays. I could do one more if you know of anyone who wants a whimsical pet portrait....

Melaleuca, also known as Tea Tree oil, is one of my favorite doTERRA essential oils because it is versatile and has range of applications. What I love most about Melaleuca is its benefits for the skin and hair. I often put a drop or two of Melaleuca into my moisturizer, or even directly on my face after washing to reap the benefits of this purifying, toning essential oil. Do you have a pimple popping up? Dab a drop of melaleuca right on the area in the morning and at night and leave it alone…it will disappear! I also like to place a few drops of Melaleuca in my shampoo. You can also give yourself a scalp massage with Melaleuca and Fractionated Coconut Oil! I haven't tried that one yet, but I'd like to.
Here's another amazing benefit of Melaleuca…especially during this season. If you're suffering from a scratchy or sore throat, add a drop or two of Melaleuca to a glass of warm water and gargle. Your throat will INSTANTLY feel better- I promise. Do that 2-3 times per day until you are feeling back to normal. I have tried and tested this many times and have never been disappointed.
Melaleuca oil has so many cleansing and purifying properties. It really is an oil that you need to have in your home at all times. To learn more about Melaleuca oil, how to use it, where it comes from, the chemistry of the oil, and more, check out this article on the doTERRA product blog: Tea Tree Oil Uses and Benefits: Essential Oil Spotlight. To purchase the highest quality Melaleuca at the wholesale price, visit my website and sign up for a wholesale membership so that you can reap all of the benefits that dōTERRA essential oils have to offer! When you get your wholesale membership, make sure to contact me through my website and let me know so that I can get in touch with you and make sure that you have everything that you need and understand the benefits of your membership.

Chris Brown's ongoing attempt to rehab his public image, Breezy has just released the video for the single, "Don't Think They Know" featuring R&B star Aaliyah. In
Taking to Twitter last week, Chris explained, "the new single is apart [sic] of my 'UNITY CAMPAIGN' which encourages all races, genders, sexes, (everyone) gay or straight to love each other!"
This, of course, is in complete contrast to the gay slurs he insists on throwing around via Twitter.
Brown directed the video, which opens with two title cards — one a statistic on gun violence, the other a quote about peace, which is attributed to "Not CB, just Christopher."
Primarily in black and white, for the most part the video only has two pops of color — red and blue — seemingly to represent the Los Angeles gangs Bloods and Crips.
Shot in Compton last month, Chris tweeted that he was "giving love back to the hood."
Along with leading a gang of red-adorned and then blue-adorned guys through the streets of Compton, Chris dances while Aaliyah's image is projected behind him.
He also turns into some sort of glowy-eyed dancer demon and then sits with a whole bunch of kids — representing the happy and peaceful future by wearing all sorts of colors.
With all of this talk of the video coming out against gun violence and gangs, you would expect some sort of statement to be made in the song or with the rest of the video.
But instead, Chris and Aaliyah sing about being best friends and being connected. It's pretty much your standard R&B jam.
In fact, the only reference to gun violence is through the beginning title cards and an end graphic where Breezy pays tribute to friend and rapper Michael "Lil Frogg" Reshard, Jr.
"Don't Think They Know " is off of Breezy's upcoming album, X, due to be released July 16.
Watch the video below and let us know what you think of Chris using Aaliyah's vocals in his new song.

Rationale for the approach used.
The impact of a brain injury on neurocognitive functioning can range from very mild to severe. Oftentimes, mild impairments are not identified immediately after injury and only noticed later when they present problems in functioning. Although many of the milder difficulties may resolve in time, they can result in significant long term problems. Mild injuries of the developing brain can result in significant deficits as the brain matures, and as the individual "grows" into the area of injury. Timely interventions and treatment can facilitate neural plasticity (healing) and decrease and/or reverse the effects of the injury. Neurocognitive rehabilitation helps to maximizing the potential of the individual and improves overall neurocognitive outcomes following a brain injury.
Brain areas affected by head injury include:
Processing Speed
Executive functioning
Visual spatial perception
Visual spatial integration
Language and speech
Motor coordination
Memory (working memory, immediate and long-term memory)
Psychosocial functioning
Psychoemotional functioning
These changes present as:
Poorer school performance
Behavioral and social problems at school
Irritability, aggressiveness and high levels of frustration
Difficulty concentration,
Difficulty playing with peers and marinating social relationships
Withdrawal from social interactions
Sadness, anxiety, and mood changes

What are the rules on hate broadcasts in Europe?
The free movement of TV broadcasting services in the EU is governed by rules that aim to promote the growth of an EU-wide market in broadcasting and related activities. These rules are set out in the "Television without Frontiers" (TVWF) Directive (89/552/EEC), adopted on 3 October 1989 by the Council and amended on 30 June 1997 by European Parliament and Council Directive 97/36/EC. The TVWF Directive provides for Community coordination of national laws in areas such as promoting the production and distribution of European works, public access to major (sports) events, television advertising and sponsorship, protection of minors and the right of reply.
Of course, the respect for the fundamental rights recognised by the European Union, in particular in the Charter for Fundamental Rights, is of utmost importance in the application of the TVWF Directive. Freedom of expression and of the Media on the one hand and respect for human dignity on the other hand are essential values underlying the EU rules.
On the specific issue of hate broadcasts, Article 22a of the TVWF Directive states: "Member States shall ensure that broadcasts do not contain any incitement to hatred on grounds of race, sex, religion or nationality".
A similar rule is laid down in Article 7 of the Council of Europe's European Convention on Transfrontier Television (ECTT): "(1) All items of programme services, as concerns their presentation and content, (...) shall not (b) give undue prominence to violence or be likely to incite to racial hatred"[1].
Who is responsible for enforcing these rules?
In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the rules of the TVWF Directive have to be applied in the Member States by the competent national broadcasting authorities. These thus have the possibility to take the specific characteristics of the national media landscape into account.
Each broadcaster is regulated only in one Member State, the so-called "country of origin". The responsible Member State has to ensure that broadcaster under its jurisdiction respects the rules. The TVWF Directive makes it clear under which Member State's jurisdiction a given television broadcaster falls.
To this end, a series of practical criteria ("establishment" criteria in TVWF Article 2), are designed to determine by an exhaustive procedure which Member State has the jurisdiction:
These criteria are:
Who has jurisdiction over satellite broadcasts from third countries?
Besides these establishment criteria, the Television without Frontiers Directive includes additional criteria (Article 2 paragraph 4 TVWF) which have to be applied if a broadcaster is not established in one of the EU Member States – these are normally third country programmes. Member States must ensure that these broadcasters comply with the EU rules if:
Which TV channels from outside the EU are broadcast in Europe?
Most of the third country programmes use satellite capacities provided either by Eutelsat or by Astra. Due to this fact the ranking under Article 2 (4) means that two countries, France and Luxembourg, have jurisdiction over a large number of third-country programmes received in Europe. The lists of third country programmes are available on the respective websites.
What was the Al-Manar case, and what has the Commission done to resolve it?
In 1991, shortly after Hezbollah actively entered the Lebanese political scene, Al Manar was launched as a small terrestrial station. Although legally registered as the Lebanese Media Group Company in 1997, Al Manar has belonged to Hezbollah culturally and politically from its inception. Today, the terrestrial station can reach Lebanon in its entirety and broadcasts programming eighteen hours daily.
Moreover, Al Manar's satellite station, launched in 2000, transmits twenty-four hours a day, reaching the entire Arab world and the rest of the globe through several major satellite providers. One of the satellite providers which have transmitted Al Manar has been the French satellite Hot Bird 4, owned by the Eutelsat Satellite organisation.
Al Manar has several times been accused of broadcasting programming that preaches hatred and violence. In December 2004, the US Department of State put Al-Manar on the Terrorist Exclusion List due to the channel's "incitement of terrorist activity".
On 13 December 2004, the French "Conseil d'Etat", the highest administrative Court in France, ordered the French-based Eutelsat Company to shut down Al Manar broadcasts following accusations that its programmes were anti-Semitic and could incite hatred. The "Conseil d'Etat" order was based on a decision by the French regulatory authority the "Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel". On 14 December Al-Manar obliged voluntarily, in order to avoid that other Arab programmes of the same multiplex would have been shut down.
The TVWF Directive assigns responsibility for ensuring that its rules are respected to the Member State that has jurisdiction. In this case the French authorities were responsible for prohibiting the broadcasts of Al Manar because Al Manar was transmitted via the French satellite system within the satellite organisation Eutelsat.
During this French procedure the European Commission worked very closely together with the French authorities and supported the strict and effective application of European law.
The Commission welcomed the fact that measures have been taken to ensure respect of the material rules of the Directive, in line with the division of responsibilities between the Commission and the national authorities on such matters.
Who participated in today's meeting on hate broadcasts?
Commissioner Viviane Reding has invited the presidents/chairpersons of the broadcasting authorities of the 25 EU Member States, of the candidate countries and of the countries of the European Economic Are.
Details at
http://ec.europa.eu/avpolicy/intro/links_en.htmWhat, specifically, have broadcasting regulators agreed today?
The regulators and the European Commissioner decided to implement the following measures.
First, they agreed on an information exchange regarding channels authorised in Member States in order both to determine which Member State has jurisdiction and to ensure effective application of EU rules.
In the short term, such information exchanges could be made more effective by establishing a contact point within each national authority. The contact point should provide the necessary information to other authorities and the European Commission regarding channels coming under its jurisdiction. In particular, Member States to whom a satellite capacity appertains must be in a position to provide information on all the channels using this capacity.
In the medium term, interconnection of Member States' channel authorisation databases could be foreseen, or even the establishment of a central database of such information. In this context, co-operation with the European Platform of Regulatory Authorities (EPRA) would be important and useful.
The regulators also agreed on a mutual and immediate information exchange between Member States' audiovisual regulators, together with close co-operation in cases where an authorisation is withdrawn or a channel is banned.
They decided furthermore on the establishment of a restricted Internet forum, reserved for regulators and the European Commission, with a view to deepening exchanges of views on cases considered problematic.
Can rules which apply only to broadcasters be effective, considering that similar audiovisual content is freely available via the Internet?
No. This will be very difficult. That is the reason why Commissioner Reding announced for the end of 2005 a modernisation of the Television without Frontiers Directive which should take account of technological developments.
The concept of an overarching framework is underpinned by the fact that some policy objectives now pursued by the TVWF Directive seem to be essential minimum standards with which any form of delivery of audiovisual content should comply. The public consultation last year showed that for instance the protection of minors and human dignity (e.g. prohibition of incitement to hatred) enjoy wide acceptance.
What about third country broadcasts which can be seen in Europe because of satellite spill over from other countries? What can the EU do about these?
The spill-over effects are one reason why the cooperation of regulatory authorities within Europe is not enough. Such cooperation needs to be complemented by a constructive dialogue with regulators from third countries. Therefore the regulators and Commissioner Reding underline their desire for close co-operation with the relevant authorities in third countries, for instance through the Mediterranean Regulators' Group. They invite the competent authorities to declare, with due regard to the freedom of expression and of the media, the fight against audiovisual content inciting religious and/or racial hatred to be a priority in the relations with third countries.
In addition, the Commissioner for Information Society and Media will continue the dialogue with other Commissioners in order to take this problem into account in all other relevant policies, notably external relations, in particular pre-accession policy, neighbourhood policy and the Barcelona process.

The KDE project saw the writing on the wall. They saw that they had reached a certain limit when it came to what could be done with the KDE 3.x series - they named it the "big friggin' wall", and decided that in order to get over that wall, incremental updates wouldn't do - they needed massive changes, a big jump, and they went for it. It's been a rough road, but it seems as if KDE 4.1 is showing signs of the vision becoming a reality. And it now seems as if several people within the GNOME community are seeing the writing on the wall too: GNOME 2.x has reached its goal - now what?

I agree with you that functionality is more important and it has higher priority for me too. But if you can add beauty to a functional system, what's wrong with it? Beauty is valuable, in my eyes.

I recently discovered this perfume and was going to buy it, because I really like the powdery sweetness, simplicity and lightness of it. But at the first sniff I already knew that it really reminds me of something I have had in my bathroom some time ago. Today I remembered - it's the Pearl & Beauty Roll-on by Nivea. I don't think that I will be able to overcome this association with that cheap Nivea smell.
I wanted Toni Gard because of the supposed marzipan smell some of the reviewers refer to. I got my bottle last night for Christmas and was pleasantly surprised. It is a lot softer and lighter than what I expectet it to be and am glad that I can wear TG in Summer as well. I don't get a distinct marzipan vibe but rather a soft almond like in Hypnotic Poison on my wrist in the drydown. This is not a spectacular scent that will have you getting weak in the knees upon sniffing but it is an absolutely lovely, soft almond scent that gently lingers and hugs you like a blanket and keeps you comfy and snuggly throughout the day. Everyone who loves almond should give it a try. I do not find it heavy or overly sweet at all. TG is much softer and less sweet than e.g. Hypnotic Poison. As I said before, rather reminiscent of Hypnotic Poison in the drydown. TG doesn't project very far but longevity is not too bad. I still smelled it on my wrist upon waking the next morning. For the price it won't hurt to reapply.
A mix between Dior Hypnotic Poison and Oriflame Amber Elixir. Almond, amber, vanilla and some flower, a little sweet but ok.
En blandning mellan Dior Hypnotic Poison och Oriflame Amber Elixir. Mandel, amber, vanilj och lite blommor, lite söt men ok.
Come-and-hug-me-scent! Lovely! Not a loud scent but neither a skinclose one - something in between. Deep, varm, dark flowernotes and great almondflower/vanilla/amber/heliotrope mix. I will be looking for another bottle.
Kom-och-krama-mig-doft! Superfin! Ingen kraftig doft men inte heller en hudnära doft -något mitt emellan. Djup, mörk, varm. Jag känner mest en mix av mandelblom/vanilj/amber/Heliotrop. Kommer att leta efter en flaska till.
Joyful opening, with many shadows. Then it becomes sweeter, but remains interesting, with a touch of juicy berries. Good confectionery fragrance, not my type though.
Reminds me a lot of Dolce & Gabbana´s Sicily. Soapy and powdery. Too much for my taste. Headache-scent. :-(
received this as a gift and I love it. On my skin it is warm and sweet with a bit of musky vanilla.I always love fragrances with a musk note because it agrees with my skin. If I make a mistake and spray on the wrong scent it is curtains! I remember times in my youth where I would try some EDT like Wind Song and became nauseated, dizzy and fainted. This doesn't make me sick!
I've received this one as a gift and I've been mostly wearing it since I got it, during all fall and winter (I live in pretty hot climate).
I do love it, mostly because it's a somehow powdery and close to skin citrusy floral, not sweet at all. I also need to add it's more almond blossom and marzipan to me than vanilla and I love how the soft citrusy notes blend in. The staying power is pretty good, even better if I use it with its lotion.
This suits my skin perfectly and gets along well with my migraine too, definitely non-offending. But doesn't exactly fit as an office scent to me, maybe a little too feminine(?) for my field. Non-offending doesn't mean non-existent though, even though it's soft and close to skin I ALWAYS get compliments wearing this. If someone doesn't express their liking with words there will at least be some random sniffs and smiles during the day. My boyfriend also adores this on me and describes it as seductive.
I'll definitely rebuy it.
i've tested it recently and i have to say that i like it. unfortunately i do not get the marzipan, but the vanilla. it is a soft, non-synthetic vanilla. ver nice. the staying power is good, but it is a close to skin scent. i am really thinking about buying this little soft cutie. i agree with habanita, it is a non offending office scent. and thats what i was looking for. a nice vanilla scent that is not straight to ur face (or nose ;)).
People say that this smells like marzipan. Generally you could say it's a light and sweet scent. You have to know that you are looking for marzipan and then you can smell it. It's not somehing that comes straight to your mind if you do not know that the note is in it. After I re-tested it several times I started to like it. Especially when the weather is so warm like now. It's a light scent that you can wear during the day or in the office, which will offend noone. The lasting power is ok, but remember that its' generally not a strong scent. It stayed on my shirt at least half a day.

Warmongering: Six months at a time
I put this up because, whatever else we do before the November election, we should not let people forget how they been lied to and strung along about the war.
Whoever gets elected will have to be pressured to end the war. The peace movement must be ready for backsliding from a Democrat as well as obstruction from a Republican.
But hammering home the litany of lies through which the war has been sold will help when we turn to pushing the next President.

"The fiscal year 2012 Department of Defense base budget recommendation before us today is $530 billion, which is $8.9 billion below the request. The overseas contingency operations recommendation is $118.7 billion, which is $842 million above the request. This increase is mostly attributable to the transfer of the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund from the State/Foreign Operations Subcommittee to the Defense Subcommittee.
"To reach the reduced base allocation of $530 billion, the Subcommittee reviewed in detail the budget request, and found areas and programs where reductions are possible without adversely impacting the warfighter or readiness.
"Examples of such reductions include: programs which have been terminated or restructured since the budget was submitted; savings from favorable contract pricing adjustments; contract and schedule delays resulting in fiscal year 2012 savings; unjustified cost increases or funding requested ahead of need; anticipated or historical under-execution; rescissions of unneeded prior year funds; and reductions that are authorized in the House passed fiscal year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.
"Now, let me highlight some details of the subcommittee's recommendation:
* $15.1 billion for the construction of ten Navy ships;
* $5.9 billion for 32 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft (19 Air Force, 7 Navy, 6 Marine Corps), and $2.7 billion for continued development and testing;
* $3.3 billion for 28 F-18 Super Hornets and 12 EA-18 Growlers;
* $2.8 billion for 116 H-60 Blackhawk helicopters (71 Army, 42 Navy, and 3 Air Force); and
* $699 million for 48 MQ-9 Reaper UAVs.
"Some highlights of subcommittee recommended increases include:
* +$885 million for unrealistic Operation and Maintenance efficiencies;
* +$1.5 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment;
* +$610 million for Service identified unfunded requirements, including $239 million for SOCOM; and
* +$633 million for military medical research, including +$223 million for cancer research and +$125 million for Psychological Health/Traumatic Brain Injury (PH/TBI).
"Some highlights of subcommittee recommended reductions include:
* -$435 million in savings from contract and production delays in the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM);
* -$524 million in program delay savings for the Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMAARS);
* -$1.7 billion in unneeded prior year funds; and
* -$1.3 billion for improved economic assumptions.
"Finally, while the bill does not provide any funds for the military operations in Libya, it does shift $5 billion in anticipated excess Army Operation and Maintenance OCO funds to an OCO Transfer Fund. This will provide the Department with some added flexibility to execute its overseas contingency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It was a difficult task to write this bill $9 billion below the request, but we did so smartly and effectively. I would have preferred -- and indeed I was fighting for -- a higher number for Defense. But in this time of financial crisis that our nation is facing, no one should be exempt from tightening their fiscal belts -- and on the Defense subcommittee, we must do so smartly and carefully, making sure to not impact the warfighter or their mission.
"I committed long ago that that I would never write or support a bill which adversely affected any soldier or had an adverse affect on our nation's readiness. I firmly believe I have kept that promise with the bill before us today."

Integration by reduction formulae
Part of a series of articles about | ||||||
Calculus | ||||||
Integration by reduction formula in integral calculus is a technique of integration, in the form of a recurrence relation. It is used when an expression containing an integer parameter, usually in the form of powers of elementary functions, or products of transcendental functions and polynomials of arbitrary degree, can't be integrated directly. But using other methods of integration a reduction formula can be set up to obtain the integral of the same or similar expression with a lower integer parameter, progressively simplifying the integral until it can be evaluated. [1] This method of integration is one of the earliest used.
How to find the reduction formula[edit]
The reduction formula can be derived using any of the common methods of integration, like integration by substitution, integration by parts, integration by trigonometric substitution, integration by partial fractions, etc. The main idea is to express an integral involving an integer parameter (e.g. power) of a function, represented by In, in terms of an integral that involves a lower value of the parameter (lower power) of that function, for example In-1 or In-2. This makes the reduction formula a type of recurrence relation. In other words, the reduction formula expresses the integral
in terms of
How to compute the integral[edit]
To compute the integral, we set n to its value and use the reduction formula to calculate the (n – 1) or (n – 2) integral. The higher index integral can be used to calculate lower index ones; the process is continued repeatedly until we reach a point where the function to be integrated can be computed, usually when its index is 0 or 1. Then we back-substitute the previous results until we have computed In. [2]
Below are examples of the procedure.
Cosine integral
Typically, integrals like
can be evaluated by a reduction formula.
Start by setting:
Now re-write as:
Integrating by this substitution:
Now integrating by parts:
solving for In:
so the reduction formula is:
To supplement the example, the above can be used to evaluate the integral for (say) n = 5;
Calculating lower indices:
where C is a constant.
Exponential integral
Another typical example is:
- .
Start by setting:
Integrating by substitution:
Now integrating by parts:
shifting indices back by 1 (so n + 1 → n, n → n – 1):
solving for In:
so the reduction formula is:

This is not a New Year's Resolution...honestly, it's not.
This was the first year in a long time that I made no New Year's resolutions. I spent New Year's Eve in the Lebanon in a restaurant called The Titanic, but with no fear that it might sink because it was firmly set in a mountainside. As midnight crept up, I thought about all the things I should make resolutions about, which were pretty much the same things that I make resolutions about most years, and decided, no, not this year.
Midnight arrived with an amazing explosion of fireworks and lights, a magnificent view over Beirut and the bay, but with not a resolution in sight. It was strangely liberating.
Instead, those things that were once called 'resolutions' are now on a list of things to be done this year. They have a "higher priority" than most other things on the list, but there is far less stress attached to them now that they are not governed by those stringent, guilt-inducing resolution laws.
So, I've got lots of things on my list of things to do this year: a book to finish and a book to develop, another to possibly rewrite, and a few ideas to explore, most of them dark, edgy, gritty, and contemporary. One of my "high priority plans" this year is to explore another genre. It might just be a case of dipping my toes in, or I might want to paddle, and if I dive in then the writing will still be dark and edgy and gritty, but it might just take you somewhere else, different land, different time...
"High priority" plans may sound very similar to New Year's resolutions, but believe me, they are not. They have a different feel about them: stress- free and guilt-free, and they can't be broken. Now let's see if they work!
6 comments:
Good stuff. Using the new year as a way to solidify plans and re-energise ideas is a great concept. I would have liked some pics, too, and would love to know how Beirut and Lebanon are coping with all the upheavals in the region. Well, I hope...they are places that deserve peace and prosperity.
ReplyDeleteJane, the concept may be good - let's see how it works! Don't know how to post pics up on this blog, so I may add an album to my FB page with some pics. As for coping - I think they are just about coping. It's an absolutely stunning place. One of the most awesome and most beautiful sights I have ever seen is there - the Jeita Grotto, which has to be seen to be believed!

Hi DeadSpeaker,
This is a really nice amp. It will do what you want. However, it uses tubes, a pair of 6L6's for outputs. This means high voltage so you must be careful. This is worth keeping and fixing up. Things that come to mind are all those capacitors. Especially the smaller coupling capacitors. This will require patience, but you can do it if you are careful. Step one, take it apart and take a few digital pictures. Pictures of the tp of the chassis, and many good ones of the underside where the wiring and parts are. Two, download and print out the schematic. Download a full resolution one, this attachment is a lower resolution. We will be here for questions. If you were to buy a good DVM, it would serve you well for many, many years. Buy as good a meter as you can afford. You'll use it for everything. A Fluke is a very good brand. -Chris

The first thing I would do is to open the case and see if there is a foreign body inside which could be causing a short. (obviously with the amp unplugged!). Next, after noting where the tubes go, remove them all, replace the fuse and plug in. Does the fuse still blow? Andy
If it ain't broke, break it !! Then fix it again. It's called DIY ! |

Well I looked inside the thing pretty well. I don't know if the reason that the meter did not respond to some resistors is because they are blown or if the meter is not powerful enough. What is my next step now that I've seen inside and have a diagram. Also, is there a way to test the tubes? I know I posted this in the solid state section, but that was before I opened it up and realized that there were tubes in it. Thanks for the help everyone.
Edit: Sorry I posted this after you guys put a bunch of messages up. I'll post more picture soon. The Ohms meter says "woods 1304" on it. Should I really power it on without the tubes in it? What will that tell me? |

Hi DeadSpeaker,
Okay, we are in the right forum now. You may need a better meter, and also get comfortable with it. Do not apply power to this until the coupling caps have been replaced. If you don't follow this advice, you may cause enough damage to make this amp not worth fixing. Smell the transformers. Tell me what they smell like before you start. -Chris

Hi DeadSpeaker,
The next job would be to replace the filter capacitors. The brown one with three wires sticking out is one, the others are cans mounted on the chassis. My feeling is that one or more diodes shorted. Quote:
Do not power up this unit until these things are done. If you want to do a really good job, measure the resistors. Replace the ones that are far away from the marked values. I find that parts like the 220K ohm tend to drift a lot (red-red-yellow-[gold/silver/none]). Others too, but try to measure some of those to get an idea how your meter is working. -Chris

Alright well the brown filter cap is 100/50 volts, and the one next to the little transformer is 450 volts, and then I think that the can thing next to the big transformer is one too (maybe 10-500 volts from what I can see). From what pictures i've posted, is that all of them?
Where do you recommend I order these parts from? I'm trying to come up with a parts list and an estimated total cost. The meter and the soldering iron I'm going to borrow from a friend but he doesn't know that yet. How do you know if the tubes and transformers are still good? Is it possible to test them? Thanks for all the help. |

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but you may be disappointed with the results.
At some point in time I promised myself I would never waste any more time on a PA amp. It is for pumping midrange through a store speaker system. It may have filters and/or a special output transformer that keeps the lows out of the output. This is to maximize screamablility through a department store, car dealership, etc. It probably was not intended for high fidelity audio. It also looks corroded: not a good specimen for a beginner. Lots-O-Luck, Mark |

I don't know about department store tube amps, but I got this out of my grandfathers basement. It had belonged to my uncle who owned a music store and was a musician. Because of the that and the XLR plugs on the back, I have assumed that it must be a decent vocal amp.

Aniblog Tourney Blog Highlights II
And we are back with the next batch of Aniblog Tourney Highlights, with the red approaching.
Some fore-warnings: You are not hallucinating, there is actually a two number skip in this highlight. You can't expect us to cover ourselves, do you?! So, I have taken us and our competitor out of the list to be fair. Also, if a live poll link is not working, no worries, it will work in a few hours and/or day. Check the match date for a hint. Like I said before, I hope this series will help you discover new blogs and fatten up your RSS readers. You can find the first Ani-tourney Highlight here or just follow our Tourney category to stay updated. From now on these posts would be a day apart but we will keep up with the pace of Tourney polls. I tip my proverbial hat to Mushy, Reiseng, dere-moe Project and Otaku Life for their first try of Tourney. I hope to see them in the next one bigger and better, while congrats to the winners |
17. Anime Picks |
Authors: Anna May and her massive army of contributors Start Date: September 2010 Main Categories: Anime news, reviews, and cosplay Site Type: Own-hosted Frequency of Post: Sporadic Last post on: April 16, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: The first thing you'll probably notice when arriving at Anime Picks is the site's very own mascot, "Anna May". Catchy, right? Beyond that this diverse blog covers a wide spectrum of topics (everything from culture to figures to video games). While having such a large foundation of writers allows the blog to push out posts, that might lead you to assume the quality varies. However, the hired writers do a nice job of maintaining quality throughout, with detailed and informative reviews that also provide tidbits of extra information like prices and release dates. It would be nice to see some more pictures in reviews, but the ones used generally speak for themselves. The only negative I can see is that the site doesn't have much of a community, posts often go undiscussed, which is unfortunate since they typically bring up good talking points! It might possibly be because their reviews are more professional then personal. Aesthetically Anime Picks looks very stylish, making good use of it's theme colors and categorizing it's plethora of categories neatly and easy to see. However, some might call it clutter and even being too compact, for instance banners and words cover up faces, and poor Eiko and Chizuru are cut in half! Overall though, it's creative and not many blogs can say they have their very own mascot! (Unless you're slug related.) If you're looking for a blog that covers a wide variety of topics, but aren't really into the community aspect then this might be for you! They're not all that up to date with seasons and whatnot, but not everyone watches airing series anyway! |
18. Kuuki no Purido |
Author: Kuuki Start Date: July 2010 Main Categories: Anime, Episodics Site Type: Blogspot hosted Frequency of Post: Sporadic Last post on: April 14, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: It was pretty tricky to find the "About" section in this blog as there is no "About" section. The lame me literally read one article from another to find the author of those articles, not remembering that the blog's name is called Kuuki no Puraido and that there's the word "kuuki" for its link. Duh. To find out more about Kuuki, click the "facts" tag and you'll find it. Kuuki no Puraido has a hassle-free layout, but that gives the advantage for the interesting banner to get more attention. I wonder who is that on the banner? Eye patch and green hair, my lesbian side is tingling. Kuuki no Puraido is the perfect website for those who don't like reading long articles. Her posts are short but concise enough to let the readers know what the anime is about. Kuuki has a friendly writing style that people from all ages should be able to grasp. Her site also has tons of articles about figures, fashion, and Hatsune Miku. What I like the most from her blog are the little anime facts and lists she made. Thanks to her, I found out that there's a French guy called Alain Delon (if that rings a bell, there's a character in Beelzebub named that). Also, Kuuki actually made a list of the benefit for being a fujoshi. *fujoshi high five* That's a good reason to visit her site, isn't it? |
19. The Notaku Blog |
Author: Notaku Start Date: April 2011 Main Categories: Episodic Reviews and Editorials Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Sporadic Last post on: April 14, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Notaku is a really awesome writer that I originally found through a blogroll and occasionally lurked a while back. He only covers a few shows each season, but he definitely puts quality over quantity. One guy can only do so much, so with that said, rather then putting short blurbs each week for 20 different shows, he gets very in depth with the select shows he does blog. He has a very humorous and unfiltered personality from what I've read, and although his posts are lengthy, it doesn't feel like a chore to read them. Don't let the "NSFW" scare you away, it's a blog worth checking out! For his blog's style, Notaku keeps it clean and simple. I really like the three column design because it removes a lot of the sidebar clutter that it might have with only two. It's not all that colorful or eye catching, but it's easy on the eyes and definitely doesn't detract from the writing. So if you're following the shows he's blogging or want to check out some entertaining editorials, Notaku is a good place to start! |
20. Beneath the Tangles |
Authors: Goldy, MURASAKI LYNNA, R86, TWWK, Zeroe4 Start Date: September 2010 Main Categories: Editorials Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Weekly Last post on: April 15, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Welcome to Beneath the Tangles blog, which is dedicated in exploring various connections between Christianity and anime and not just one religious view but many others. Sounds interesting, huh? I will admit that does sound a bit strange; however I think this is a very unique way to explore the world of anime. So, does the theme of religion and anime makes you want to read it? I would say it depends on the person or how curious it makes you? Though, there are countless series of anime that are filled with religious tones; so how does this blog pull it off?! In the recent post that I enjoyed reading was Characters that embody the fruits of the spirit TWWK posted a verse from Galatians 5:22 – 23 along with the other "spiritual fruits" as in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. All of this is very interesting, but do you have to be hardcore in religion to enjoy the posts? I don't really think so, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt… Another wordpress style blog, right here. So, you have your usual one color background and information at the top and right hand side, but does this design blow my mind? Not really as there are countless wordpress blogs that pretty much look the same; however, Beneath the Tangles setup works nicely and the navigation bar has several links to other blogs. Even a helpful guide for parents on anime if they are curious, but I loved the bright banner of Madoka praying at the very top because really it fits the overall theme of the blog. |
21. Anime Tree |
Authors: hippiefreak12, Light Start Date: October 2010 Main Categories: Anime Review, Episodic, Editorial Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Daily-ish Last post on: April 15, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Hippiefreak12 and Light are the two active writers at Anime Tree, with Hippiefreak12 being the dude in charge of things. Together they post anime reviews and sporadically update with episodic posts for certain series. You'll also find some music posts and a few editorial posts thrown in. I was instantly drawn to the video game editorials, and quickly got sidetracked reading them all instead of just skimming the site…A good sign, for sure! The episodic posts are more like summaries with the odd snippet of personal commentary thrown in, while the series review is actually based more on their thoughts for the series as a whole. As a result, I'm not a big fan of how they do episodic posts, but the review posts definitely work. As you're reading, you'll be greeted with a menagerie of pretty anime fanart. It's a big of a cluttered layout, but you get used to it over time. |
22. Subdued Fangirling |
Author: ConfusedMuse Start Date: May 2011 Main Categories: Anime, Figures, Reviews Site Type: Blogspot hosted Frequency of Post: Every other day/ Weekly Last post on: April 14, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: This one has an "About" page. Whee. ConfusedMuse (Muse for short) is also a victim of old anime such as Pokemon, and thus has been writing about anime for the past almost-one year. She literally had a relationship with anime, believe it or not. Or so what she said. Muse's avatar is one of the twins from Lucky Star, and her layout is full of color blue. Subduedfangirling has such fangirl appearance (see what I did there?). So cute de geso! Subduedfangirling really lives up to its name though. There's little fangirling in her well-written articles since they're all subdued in her mind. She mostly writes first impressions and end reviews with episodics sometimes. Muse writes very little in her First Impressions, and they focus on the most noticeable themes in those anime. Unlike the First Impressions, her end reviews are quite detailed, focusing on every aspect of the anime being reviewed. But really, nothing can beat Muse's monthly figure reviews. I don't know how she can get the money to buy those figures, but it's always nice to see a blogger writing attentive reviews of figures. Do check her figure reviews de geso! |
23. Ephemeral Dreams |
Author: Ephemeral Dreamer Start Date: April 2011 Main Categories: Editorial Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Weekly Last post on: April 15, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Ephemeral Dreams is a solo aniblog run by the aptly named Ephemeral Dreamer. He's quite an interesting guy, so he carries the site alone quite well with steady updates. He comes up with a new editorial topic every week or so about either currently running anime or older anime. I don't know how he manages to think up something to write every single week with the depth and care that he does. His writing is compelling, comprehensive and to-the-point. Ignoring the author for a moment, the site itself is decent-looking. It's not fancy, but it gets the job done and doesn't distract you from the actual posts. There's also a list of anime recommendations if you want some advice about what to watch next. I must admit that this may become one of my new lurking grounds… |
24. Ace Railgun |
Author: Acerailgun Start Date: September 2011 Main Categories: Episodic Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Daily Last post on: April 17, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 17, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Acerailgun's anime blog is dedicated to episodic blogging. Also, just in case if you were living under a rock you probably saw his famous 50 questions about anime post; that post made its way through countless anime blogs as a way to get to know anime fans a bit more. AceRailgun's posts are small or as I call them "quick hits" where he shares a few things he liked on the review, however the reviews are not filled with walls of pictures or massive paragraphs and this works very nicely for his writing style without all the filler of "what happened during the episode". Besides the usual episodic anime posts you can find posts on anime music, awards, and artwork updates on his site Mascot named Cassie. AceRailgun is another wordpress blog, but at first glance I thought it was made from the ground up. The colors really pop nicely as it uses greys, blacks and bright orange that makes it quite easy to read…I did mention a mascot character and I know most people roll their eyes when they hear such things, but I will admit I am a huge fan of anime blog themed mascots and Cassie is a really cute looking angel themed character with one mechanical wing or no wings at all. So, I recommend you stop by to check out the anime reviews, music choices, podcast and stay for the adorable Cassie artworks. |
25. Heart of Manga |
Author: Laura Start Date: May 2009 Main Categories: Manga Reviews and Wallpapers Site Type: Own-hosted Frequency of Post: Sporadic Last post on: April 16, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 18, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Heart of Manga is a blog dedicated to, what other then, manga! Laura is a writer who focuses almost exclusively on shoujo manga, and with 55+ reviews and counting she knows what she's talking about and you can see that in her writing. Laura gets down to the heart of every manga she reviews, picking apart the romances, characters, plot, and art, providing shoujo-lovers with a great way of finding new series they might enjoy. One of my favorite aspects of her blog is the system she uses to categorize the manga she reviews, first giving them a heart rating (as a grade for her review) and a "romance rating" to help readers find exactly what they're looking for, innocent, steamy, lustful, and of course, erotic. Apart from reviews she also provides links to great wallpapers and mixes in her own personal musings with her posts. Visually the site is very appealing with a very reader friendly interface. It's easy to find what you want by using the various categories and indexes and Laura also fills us in on what manga she's currently reading and plans on reviewing through the use of the sidebar. Shoujo lovers will definitely fall in love with Heart of Manga! |
26. Ultimatemegaex's Blog |
Author: ultimatemegax Start Date: January 2011 Main Categories: Translation, BD-reviews Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: monthly Last post on: March 6, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 18, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Here we visit the anime blog Ultimatemegax. This blog appears to be very random as there are no episodic posts, but every post is about anime like a list of translations projects he has worked on with The observation of Haruhi Suzumiya: Official Fanbook, Someday in the rain, The disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya official guide book and several others. Other than this, there are posts about DVD sales and season round ups where he lists several finished series giving each a number scores as a whole versus breaking down artwork, music and story. Design wise typical wordpress style again with a single colored background; this time with a dull yellow and green text on top of white with a banner at the top of the blog. The navigation bar highlights his anime collection, MAL webpage and complete with twitter comments and a blogroll on the right hand side of the page. It certainly isn't anything special for designs but I suppose it gets the job done for Ultimatemegax. |
27. Deluscar |
Author: Kai Start Date: October 2011 Main Categories: Anime, Figures, Reviews, Visual Novels Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Sporadic Last post on: April 18, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 18, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: I squealed a little when I saw deluscar's layout because it's just so cool de geso! The black reminds me of Metanorn right away. deluscar's theme might be seen often in other sites, but it doesn't change the fact that it's neat and comfortable for the eyes. I mean, who doesn't like seeing pictures of pretty and moe girls? The sidebar is filled with famous sites' subscribtion, such as Sankaku Complex and Danny Choo. deluscar also has Facebook and Twitter widget, so Kai is definitely stalkable. Kai handles the six months' existence of deluscar professionally. Instead of episodics, Kai writes reviews after he has watched the whole series. He writes his reviews with such great care, putting every detail he noticed in the reviews. Kai is not afraid to voice his opinions and handles discussions calmly. Just like Muse, Kai also does figure reviews but more towards the pictures of the figures. If that's not enough reason, visual novel is also Kai's area of expertise. Anime, Figures, and Visual Novels! That's more than enough, yo. |
28. Kansatsu ~観察~ |
Author: Kuro Start Date: October 2010 Main Categories: Editorial, Anime Review Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Bi-weekly-ish Last post on: April 16, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 18, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: Endless scrolling! It just keeps going and going, like Tumblr! I…don't know why that impressed me as thoroughly as it did either. Kuro's blog Kansatsu has a lot more to offer than just endless scrolling and simple yet maximally functional layout. There's a variety of editorial pieces about both anime and video games as well as first impressions for the currently airing anime, followed by end reviews when the series is finished airing. Every now and then he does cover specific episodes of a series if he has something of note he wants to share. Kansatsu is updated fairly regularly, so there will be at least one or two new things to read over during any given week. Kuro's writing is concise and even his editorial posts fall on the short side in terms of length. However, he's got a great style and always raises a very interesting and distinct point in each post. Looks like yet another impressive blog in the running for the Aniblog Tourney! |
31. Avvesione's Anime Blog |
Author: Avvesione Start Date: January 2011 Main Categories: Episodic Reviews Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Daily (most of the time) Last post on: April 16, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 18, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: While Avvesione's Anime Blog might have the outer appearance of "just another episodic blog", if you look a little closer you'll see that Avve isn't lying when he says he "puts in effort". He describes his style of writing as topic posting, touching on the points that he cares to write about with a lot of detail. From what I've read, his posts are very analytical and talk about a wide variety of topics like I mentioned before. I'd say his greatest strength, apart from his writing style, is his insight because it provides plenty of interesting discussion points! Best of all he always responds to comments! Appearance-wise I feel as though his blog lacks anything particularly eye-catching. Hopefully you'll allow his writing to be your first impression rather than the somewhat dull colors (the purple tags stick out though which I like!), because the guy definitely knows what he's talking about. The blog is also easy to navigate, which is something I always enjoy in a blog, especially when I want to read older posts. |
32. The Otaku's Blog |
Authors: SilentSerenata, jacqivarius, bakaneko, Kimmichan, sakuraxxyume, lerorin, Lustri, tobguestwriter, shrutianime, sleepynoyume (SleepySlacker) Start Date: January 2011 Main Categories: Anime, Episodics, Reviews Site Type: WordPress hosted Frequency of Post: Sporadic Last post on: April 12, 2012 Site Link: URL Match Date: April 18, 2012 Tourney Poll: Live Poll |
Thoughts: In total, Otaku's Blog has ten writers, although one retired and two are on hiatus. Otaku's Blog has a basic black-and-white theme with bunch of anime pictures everywhere. It's not really the best, but it's pretty much acceptable for the eyes. Anime characters are always acceptable for the eyes. I'm sure they'll get better in time. It's been a year only, after all. Don't be tricked by the simple theme though. The amount of writers in Otaku's Blog gives the blog a wide variety of writing style and topics. Genres, fandoms, BLEACH, even Cardfight Vanguard. Otaku's blog covers sooo many things. And the great thing is, the writers are really friendly. So, do check them out! |
About Tag Team
We live, laugh, enjoy and strictly believe on "more the merrier". When together, we usually come up with very chatty, conversation-based episodics and interesting posts.50 Responses to "Aniblog Tourney Blog Highlights II"
[…] in terms of referrers on my site stats. Another link I happened to notice is the blog highlights at Metanorn. Metanorn wrote a small segment on the participants of this…week's/section's […]
Don't worry, Kyo, I'm not hallucinating. After seeing that huge list of blogs in the last post, it shouldn't be that surprising.
Wow, there's a lot of interesting blogs here. Good luck to you and everyone else. Congratulations to the winners.
WOAH! I just realized BB is really close to taking 2nd place from me! LOLS Guess my reign in 2nd seat will come to an end… *sob* Fight on BB, FIGHT ON AND BEAT DAN!!! I put my trust in you xD
Hahaha, Tofu, you're awesome. You make it sound like I'm a usurper or one of the Blacklist members from the Need for Speed games rising through the ranks. Though the way you described it is almost sounding like Mirai Nikki since I'm currently third. Anyway, thanks for the support. I intend to make becoming the top commenter my highest ambition.
ahahaha! Now that I think about it, it's quite similar to Most Wanted with a Mirai Nikki Twist 😛
Sadly BB, I've decided that I'll be the 2nd to reach 1000 before I'll let you take over >;D
"High five". Yeah, it does sound that way but I'd go more with the Mirai Nikki aspect just because it's awesomely insane.
Thanks for the takeover but if you do that, you'll actually be the third one to reach 1000.
I meant that I'll reach 1000 before you THEN let you take the lead LOLS Unless something bazaar happens and I still get 3rd for the 1000 mark? O_O
I have no idea how you people manage to rack up huge posts unless they're the author and respond to people's posts.
As for me, I've given up all hope of getting to the Top 15 commentators sidebar box. Because, like, I only post once every… couple of days, on average. With luck, I might break 400, in oh, by year end?
Thanks for the kind words and the helpful critique! It means a lot coming from y'all. I'll take it all to heart.
Thank you for your thoughts! Coming up with an editorial topic that I'm interested in weekly is actually the toughest part for me, but I always get some inspiration from here and there. ^^
I saw Metanorn and The Kotatsu up there and I was thinking… "Is Metanorn going to talk about their own site?" LOLS!! By the way… where's the thoughts on Kotatsu?
I swear if you just windows screencap our CSW logo, I will murder you.
Carry on with these thoughts 😉
Are you really going to try and murder the boss lady? I strongly advise against it. You don't know what you're getting into.
Thanks for the kind words. I've been getting mixed comments about my color scheme for a while now so it's nice that someone likes it.
Good luck when your turn comes around.
Are you guys just going to suck up to every blog with meaningless comments? I've never read so many words that had so little content.
Thanks for the kind and supportive words for my and everyone else's blogs. I appreciate you all for taking the time to read through everything and provide your impressions on here for your readers. I'm especially happy to hear your thoughts on my writing style and selection of topics since I rarely receive feedback on these subjects.
I wish you all the very best of luck at Metanorn. Hopefully we can both meet up in the group stage of the Aniblog Tourney!
I'm looking forward to fellow Tumblr anime blogs who are in the tourney.
…and also those who use Twitter Bootstrap.
Shameless self-promotion, thank you.
By the way, GO KURO GO KURO GO!
Thanks so much! I don't get a lot of feedback on my figure reviews, so it's nice to hear that you like them! 😀
To be honest, I'm too lazy to make a proper about page.
Thank you! Thank's a lot, I almost had a heartattack when I looked at my stats today and realized some people have been coming from metanorn, but it made me super happy!
(And I promise I'll try to write more of those ltitle facts, I promise I'll try)
(And the girl of my banner is Miku. Yup. Isn't she pretty in that get up? <3)
Ahhh, haha, I just realized the polls have a really short window. Missed voting for a bunch. Oh well ~

Grbić double
Leading 2-0 after last week's away leg, Mogren recovered from a sluggish start in Podgorica in impressive style.
