Shat terd
The hidden half of domestic violence
JUNE is Domestic Violence Against Men Awareness Month
Abused MEN! The other side of the abuse issue. There is evidence that there are more abused men then women now. All abuse is wrong but men do not have a place to go. Even the church overlooks this problem. Come here and let us explore this together from a Biblical point of view. JESUS CARES AND we DO too!
Now Playing: El Shaddai
for an interactive group for abused men:
Early Sunday Morning, April 1st, 2007
someone hacked into my account and deleted the interactive group for Shattered
Men. This is where most of the work for Shattered Men was done. They also gained
access to the e-mail account that we used which contained confidential
information from our membership both as an ordained minister and as a
registered nurse but it appears they simply deleted that as quickly as they
could but we lost several thousand messages there too.
In this deletion, we lost all of the information that has been posted since Oct.
31, 1999 including over 40,000 messages along with the contact information for
990 members.
We will rebuild. Yahoo is working on trying to recover some of this information
and they have said they do know who did it. We will be requesting criminal
charges be filed with the FBI who has already been contacted regarding this.
Unless we look at BOTH sides, we will not resolve this problem but it appears
that someone is willing to break United States federal laws to keep BOTH sides
from being exposed!
YOU can help show this person that his or her actions will not work.
Please join our new interactive group at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Shatteredmen/
(women are invited to join also)
You can now promote this ministry by printing and cutting these cards out to give to your pastor, friends or others that need to know about this ministry.
We recently had to renew our domain name (shatterdmen.com) It has been brought to our attention that often when a web site does not renew their domain name before it expires pornographic sites often buy them up so that when someone accesses that site they get the pornographic site instead.
Shattered Men does not and will not link to any site that dishonors GOD with our knowledge. If ANY of the sites we link to is doing this, PLEASE let us know and it will be removed immediately. The sites we link to, although many are secular in nature also would not willingly link to sites such as this. We have over7000 links at this time. We are not able to check each site to assure this does not happen. PLEASE help us keep this site one our LORD will fully approve of
If you find dead links, please let us know this also.
If you have something you would like to suggest or a first hand story to tell in our real story section, please e-mail it to us with the subject "Shattered Men"

Please freely disseminate and publicize this work that will remain in the public domain. Fathers, who need to fight this system, will be armed with the facts and figures which are applicable to this war against them. Those so armed, will be able to enforce their rights as Fathers, to their own children, and defeat those working against Fatherhood. Author's information has been catalogued after many years of study of this Domestic Enemy which invents Fatherhood into a crime, and inflicts a needless war against them in which to obtain money, power, and the ability to usurp and overthrow the foundation of our free society: The American Home and Family.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Sony VAIO AR Notebook Overview (pics, specs)
Tonight, Sony VAIO introduced a new flagship series of notebooks to promote its Blu-ray next-generation video format, the VAIO AR, which replaces Sony's AX series in the 17″ desktop replacement class. The AR's design was conceived from scratch, with black and silver colors chosen to match other devices in today's digital living room. The laptops in this series are merely 1.32″ thin and extremely lightweight (8.4 lbs) for the class, although what they lose in thickness, they make up for in width and depth — 16.4″ x 11.8″ — resulting in a noticeably thick bezel around the screen.
The XBRITE screen, however, overshadows everything else with no difficulty. The standard models in the AR series, AR130G and AR150G, match the existing AX's WXGA+ (1440×900) resolution, while the AR190G, which is the premium, Blu-ray-enabled model improves on that with WUXGA (1920×1200) capable of 1080p resolution. The premium model comes bundled with one of the first Blu-ray Disc (BD) movies, House of Flying Daggers, which Sony showed side-by-side tonight, along with the DVD version. Contrary to what some have said, the difference in quality is instantly noticeable, and according to Sony, it is even more apparent on movies shot in HD (which HoFD apparently wasn't). AR190G comes bundled with an HDMI cable and an HDMI-to-DVI-D adapter so you can take full advantage of BD movies on your HDTV.
The US price for the AR190G is $3,499, which is slightly lower than the Canadian (4000 CAD = 3590 USD) and UK (2000 GBP = 3760 USD) prices that we saw appear on Sony websites in the last two days. The AR150G will be available for $2,299 and the AR130G $1799, with the main difference between the two standard models being a TV tuner. All models will become available by the end of June, although one Sony rep (who was not a speaker at the event) mentioned "a couple of weeks", so there is a slight chance that it will be available sooner.
The specs are, for the most part, what we saw on SonyStyle.ca two days ago, with the differences between the models as the following:
Processor | Core Duo T2500, 2 GHz, 667 MHz FSB | Core Duo T2400, 1.86 GHz, 667 MHz FSB | Core Duo T2300, 1.66 GHz, 667 MHz FSB |
Graphics | nVidia GeForce Go 7600GT, 256 MB VRAM | nVidia GeForce Go 7600, 128 MB VRAM | nVidia GeForce Go 7400, 64 MB VRAM |

Price | $3,499 | $2,299 | $1,799 |

Unfortunately, as you can see from the keyboard view pictures above, the AR line still lacks a number pad. According to one Sony rep, this is because VAIO's designers feel that it would be too confusing to have the touchpad off-center, and they prefer a clean, symmetrical, uncluttered look. However, the media controls are positioned in two sets — one along the top right edge of the keyboard (FF, RWD, etc), and another along the left side (eject, volume, channel +/- on TV tuner models, and S1/S2 buttons which can be programmed to do "anything" and appear to exist mostly for symmetry). The power button is located on the right side of the keyboard, but is not well aligned with anything, which throws off the symmetry even further.
Power button (view large image)
The right and left click buttons are separated from the touchpad quite a bit, probably also to achieve the clean look, but if anything, this setup will take getting used to. The buttons are located where the lid lock usually is, and the lid is secured in what seems a bizzare manner — a latch on only the right side of the lid. When down, it is imperceptible (at least, not in the dark event room), so it will not harm aesthetics, but it certainly doesn't look very trustworthy. However, since this laptop is not meant to be carried around outside very often, it may be more convenient to leave the lid unlatched while not in use.
This picture above shows what happens when one tries to lift the left side of the lid while the latch is holding the lid down. The blue light in the picture is coming from the screen. The angle at which the lid pivots, which can be determined from the blue light, is quite small, and actually is quite impressive. The lid is sturdy, and pressing on its back produces no ripples or other signs of weakness on the screen. The lid has "piano black finish", and the bottom of the case is "some kind of magnesium alloy". Overall, the laptop feels sturdy and reliable.
(view large image) | (view large image) |
There are several items to note around the screen. First, the speakers have been repositioned from the sides of the screen to the bottom because the former speaker placement caused sound distortion issues. Second, between the speakers is the VAIO logo which is usually lit up when the computer is on, but it automatically turns off when watching a movie so as not to distract the movie watcher. It is possible to turn off the lighting when not watching a movie as well, but unfortunately, this is done via software rather than hardware. Finally, above the screen is the MOTION EYE camera. It would be very difficult to discern if not for the logotype next to the actual camera — and even then, it is not bothersome. It is completely under the lid bezel's finish and therefore should be difficult to damage.
Finally, before wrapping up, let's take a look at all the connections…
Left-hand side: A/V inputs, optical drive, hole for the lock. (view large image)
Front right-hand side (nothing is on the left): lid latch, memory card slot, WLAN/Bluetooth on/off switch. (view large image)
Right-hand side: 2 USB ports, PC Card and ExpressCard slots (one above the other), and audio/video in/outputs that are normally hidden behind a sleek silver panel. Another small panel further to the right hides the Ethernet and modem jacks. (view large image)
Right-hand side with all the silver panels closed.(view large image)
Back: TV tuner, fan holes, another USB port on the right, and the power plug.(view large image)
Front view of VAIO AR190G (view large image)
Sony VAIO's new AR series provides a noteworthy offering to the small but quickly growing market for desktop replacements, which is currently about 8% of the total market. It looks better and is as much as two pounds lighter than the competition, the latter of which may attract individuals who would otherwise be interested in 15.4″ models. However, it is lacking in multiple areas.
The line reads only two card types. The number lock is conspicuously absent from the setup, and the buttons around the keyboard are scattered in a strange arrangement. The standard models, which are already expensive, come with only 4200 RPM HDDs, and even the premium $3,500 model comes only with 5400 RPM dual HDDs, when 7200 RPM HDDs are no longer scarce. Even the flagship model, AR190G, comes with only 1GB RAM. In short, it leaves much to be desired.
The key feature of AR190G, Blu-ray, undoubtedly looks great. However, at over $1,000 for the drive alone, and given the prices and availability of BD movies, it is hardly worth the price to most consumers. The two standard models are not bad, but in the end, they still have average contents in a pretty case at an above-average price.

Dani and I washed each other, slowly, lovingly removing each other's sweat from our bodies. We took our time, our hands exploring every part of one another, truly enjoying the newfound freedom of being naked together. It was amazing, to discover something so very fundamental about someone I had been so close to, and so at odds with, my whole life.
I watched lather collect on her skin and disappear again and again as I ran my hands over her body, drinking in the sight of the soft, wet flesh beneath my fingers, kneading and squeezing everything I felt. Dani moaned at my touch, and I gasped at hers.
"What are we doing?" she whispered. Her fingers trailed down my chest, toying with tiny bubbles, dropping low and circling my cock. "Why am I playing with your cock?"
"I don't know," I said. I was surprised at the truth of it. I really had no idea. "When I woke up this morning, I knew that you would always be my annoying older sister. Now... now I have no idea."
"Should we stop?" she asked. Dani looked into my eyes like she was trying to push the question into my brain. Her hand gently squeezed my cock. "Should we pretend like it never happened? Go back to what we were before? Everything was so normal this morning, and now I'm standing in a shower, naked, rubbing my brother's cock." Dani's eyes dropped to the hand stroking me. "That's so fucked up," she breathed.
I stepped closer, the head of my cock nearly brushing her stomach and reached low, my fingers slipping between her lips, brushing her clit. She shivered as her eyes closed and her head dropped back. I felt the heat from her, my fingers finding slickness that came from neither soap nor water.
"It doesn't seem to bother you all that much," I said. I groaned as she squeezed my cock tighter. "And I think you can tell how much it bothers me."
"Does this make us sick?" She asked. Dani's free hand wrapped around the back of my neck and squeezed, pulling my face closer to hers, bumping my forehead against hers, her breath hot on my face. She pressed my cock lower, rubbed it against the back of my hand. I moved my hand and stepped forward. She rubbed it against her clit and moaned into my mouth. "Is this wrong?"
"Probably," I said. "But it doesn't feel wrong." I slipped my hands around her, gripping the back of her thighs and lifting, wrapping her legs around me and letting her guide me into her again. "Does it?"
"No," she moaned. "No, it really, really doesn't."
We fucked again, slower this time, kissing softly and moving together gently. Her body was perfect against me, her legs pulling me closer, her arms around my neck as my cock filled her completely. I pushed into her again and again, enjoying the sensation of her orgasm building, feeling her breath become ragged in her chest, hearing her whisper my name against my lips. I felt her body shudder and my own orgasm grow, my hands gripping her ass and the back of her thighs, smiling against her neck and kissing the soft skin below her ear.
Dani threw her head back and dug her fingers into my hair as her pussy clenched around me, pulsing along the length of my cock, milking me, pulling my cum from me and into her as I lost control and exploded deep inside my sister for the second time in an hour. Dani shook in my arms as we came together, her eyes open wide and staring into mine, lust and ecstasy warring for control on her face.
I sank slowly to my knees until Dani was in my lap, kissing her gently. We rested in each other's arms, my cock still inside her and our breath deep and fast. She smiled and kissed me again before pushing gently on my chest.
"We had better hurry the fuck up," she said. We both moaned as she slid off my lap, my cock sliding out and pulling our mixed cum with it. I slipped my finger inside her, wriggling it around, feeling my cum and hers swirl around with the motion and she giggled. "If you don't stop that, we're never gonna get back to camp."
I smiled and slowly withdrew my finger, teasing lightly as I pulled it out. Dani grinned and grabbed my hand, bringing my finger to her lips and gently sucking our cum from it. My smile widened as she swallowed what she took, and I gently kissed her neck.
"Seriously, bro, we have to get the fuck out of here," Dani said as my finger popped from her mouth.
We rewashed more hurriedly, necessity stealing the ability to enjoy the sights and sensations. We were both scrubbed and clean inside of ten minutes, and dressed in another five.
I pulled on another pair of gym shorts and a soft white t-shirt. Dani donned a pair of my old boxers (again, stolen) and a green tank top that clung to her still-damp skin. We stepped out of our stall and walked hand-in-hand to the door, enjoying the last few moments of true intimacy we would get for at least a while.
Just as Dani reached for the handle, I tugged her hand, pulled her against me and pushed her against the door, lifting her up to me. Her legs wrapped around my waist and we kissed, slowly, deeply, our tongues caressing. There was no urgency, no hesitation, no holding back. We kissed like we were alone, like we had the time.
We didn't have the time, of course, but it was a beautiful illusion for that moment. It ended sooner than either of us would have liked, devolving from a lover's kiss to lovers' pecks and finally to just holding each other.
"I needed to do that before we walked out," I said.
"I know," Dani said. She smiled, beautifully and happily, with a hint of sadness. "Me too."
We found our parents much as we usually did when they sent us off for "private time": a little sweaty, a lot smiley, and changed into their pajamas, meaning much the same kind of clothes that Dani and I were wearing.
The last couple hours of daylight passed fairly quickly. Mom read a book that I had never heard of, Dad and I talked about what Dani referred to as, "the most boring bullshit ever." In this instance, that meant cars. Dad rebuilds old cars as a hobby, and I have watched and helped since I can remember. Actually learning all the stuff has never happened for me, as it's never been about becoming a mechanic, but spending time with my dad.
Dani listened to music while flipping through one of the dozen or so magazines she brought on the trip. It was hard not stare.
My older sister is, like I said, small. But she's very, very well put together. For the first time in my life, I was really noticing just how well. I kept looking at her skin, smooth and tanned and freshly washed. She sat unassumingly on one of the camp chairs, her legs stretched out and crossed in front of her. Her head was back as far as it could go while still allowing her to read without lifting the magazine, and her chest was pushed ever so slightly out.
I didn't figure out that she was actually showing off for me a little until I caught her watching me stare. She winked, licked her lips and slowly ran her foot up her shin behind Dad's back. When Dad turned his head to pick up his beer, I flipped her off. She just grinned and winked again.
About an hour after dark, Mom stretched and yawned. Dani was already dozing in her chair, the magazine draped across her stomach. Dad made the announcement that it was time for everyone to turn in and be ready for an early start.
I stood and walked to the tent, unzipping the flap and turning to see where Dani was as she rocketed past me and dove into the tent. I snapped my head back around to see her snatch my pillow from atop my sleeping bag.
"Oh hell no! Use your own pillow!" I protested.
"But yours is so soft," Dani cooed. As she spoke she reached to her waist, grabbed the hem of her tank top and peeled it off over her head in one smooth motion.
"Pipe down," Dad called. "I can hear you bickering over here."
"Sorry, Dad," we said in unison. I stepped into the tent and zipped up the flap, careful to block anyone's view into the space as I did so. When I turned around, I was greeted by the sight of my now fully nude sister laying with her back arched, my pillow stuffed under her and her legs spread wide, knees bent, staring into my eyes with the wicked grin I was growing to be incredibly fond of.
"I don't know what you think you're doing," I said, letting my voice trail off just in case Dad was still listening. I dropped to my knees and ran my hand up the inside of one smooth, warm thigh. I gently kissed the soft round flesh, then kissed again higher. I gently bit the spot where her leg ended, just outside her pussy, then licked the same spot slowly. I could feel the heat from her against my cheek.
"Hoping," she whispered as her fingers tangled themselves in my hair. "Hoping you would do that."
Dani's breath caught in her chest as I gently trailed my tongue across her lips, barely touching, just enough that she knew I was there. I repeated the motion, just barely increasing the pressure, flicking lightly at her clit with my tongue before starting again at the bottom. No teasing this time, just pressing in, sliding my tongue between her lips and tasting her juicy pussy before sealing my lips around her clit and dragging my tongue lightly across it.
Her fingers tightened in my hair as I licked her, my arms wrapping up and around, my hands caressing her breasts and sides as I lay between her legs. Dani's feet rested on my shoulders, her hips moving slightly, gently grinding herself against my tongue. I took my time, building her slowly, loving the taste of her, feeling every movement of my tongue in the gasps of her breath and the twitch of her hips.
I broke away from her clit, sliding my tongue again through her lips, curling it in, reaching as far into her as I could with my tongue and moving my upper lip against her clit. I licked gently between her outer and inner lips on both sides, glided my tongue again through her wetness and slipped lower, teasingly flicking my tongue against her tight little ass, diving deep into her pussy again before reclaiming her clit and swirling my tongue around it. I sucked gently, just enough to keep my lips sealed around her as my tongue lightly dragged across her clit both up and down, never letting up, never losing contact as I slipped my finger into her pussy and curled it up, dragging my fingertip against her g spot.
Dani's hand left my head and clamped over her mouth as she came, her whole body quaking against my mouth as I curled my arms around her waist and held her hips in place, refusing to let her go, refusing to lose my hold on her. Her pussy clenched and pulsed around my finger as my tongue continued on her clit and she nearly screamed when I slipped a second finger in, pushing against her spasming muscles and into her wetness before pulling it away, turning my hand and sliding it deep into her ass.
Dani's breath came in short, hard blasts through her nose as she continued to cum, her pussy and ass both trying to crush the invading digits. Finally, slowly, I decreased. I slowed the motion of the finger in her ass, gently slipping it out, then slowed and withdrew my finger from her pussy. My tongue continued for a few moments, barely touching as she slowly came down, the ever-so-gentle touch of it still enough to cause her to twitch every time it made contact. I gave her clit one last, light brush with my tongue then pulled away, kissing her pelvis, her hip, her stomach, working my way upward as she continued to twitch. Her thighs nearly vibrated against mine as I reached her face.
"How the fu-? Wh-? You," she struggled the words out. "Holding out on me," she mumbled.
I grinned and kissed her softly.
"Maybe tomorrow night you can find out what it's like when I'm not trying to keep you quiet," I whispered.
Dani groaned and wrapped her arms around me, pulling me down beside her and throwing her leg over my waist. She nestled into the crook of my shoulder, her face buried against my neck.
"I fucking better," she mumbled.
I smiled, kissed her forehead, and wrapped my arm around her shoulders, totally content with the first day of my vacation.
We were both asleep in seconds.

Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Sicile, duchess de Berry[1] (Maria Carolina Ferdinanda Luise; 5 November 1798 – 17 April 1870) was an Italian princess of the House of Bourbon who married into the French royal family, and was the mother of Henri, Count of Chambord, the last serious Bourbon pretender to the crown of France.
Caroline was born at Caserta Palace in Naples. She was the eldest child of Prince Ferdinand, the future King Francis I of the Two Sicilies and his first wife, Archduchess Maria Clementina of Austria, the tenth child and third daughter of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor and Maria Luisa of Spain. Her parents were double first cousins.
Caroline was baptised with the names of her paternal grandparents, Maria Carolina of Austria and King Ferdinand of Naples.
She spent her youth in Palermo and in Naples. Her mother died in 1801; her father married again in 1802 to Infanta Maria Isabella of Spain, another first cousin, and had twelve more children.
In 1816, French ambassador Pierre Louis Jean Casimir de Blacas arranged with the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily [a] for Caroline to marry Louis XVIII of France's nephew, Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry. The marriage was held on 24 April 1816 in Naples. Caroline thus became Duchesse de Berry; known as Madame de Berry in France.
Even though it was an arranged marriage, it was a happy marriage, with Caroline and her husband living at the Élysée Palace in Paris which was given to them.
They had four children, of which two survived infancy. The elder was Louise Marie Thérèse d'Artois (1819-1864). The Duke was assassinated in 1820; Caroline was then pregnant with their fourth child, Henri, Count of Chambord (1820-1883), who was dubbed the "miracle child", as his birth continued the direct Bourbon line of King Louis XIV of France (his grand-uncle the King Louis XVIII, his grandfather, the future Charles X of France, and Charles' other son Louis Antoine all had no sons). He was thus going to be the eventual heir to the throne. As his mother, Caroline became an important figure in the politics of the Bourbon Restoration.
In 1824, Louis XVIII died and was succeeded by Caroline's father-in-law as Charles X.
In the July Revolution of 1830, Charles X was overthrown. Both Charles and his elder son abdicated; but their cousin Louis Philippe of Orléans did not proclaim Henri as king. Instead he allowed the National Assembly to declare him king. Caroline and Henri went into exile in with Charles and his family. She lived in Bath for a time, and then joined Charles and Louis Antoine in Edinburgh. Charles lived in Holyrood Palace, but Caroline (and also Louis Antoine) lived in Regent Terrace.[2]
Caroline did not find conditions in Edinburgh agreeable, nor did she accept her son's exclusion from the throne by the Orléanist "King of the French". She declared her son to be the legitimate king, and herself to be regent. In 1831 she left Edinburgh, and returned to her family in Naples via the Netherlands, Prussia, and Austria.[2] From Naples, with the help of the Vicomte de Saint Priest, she intrigued for a Legitimist rebellion to "restore" Henri to the throne. She also secretly married an Italian nobleman, Ettore Carlo Lucchesi-Palli, 8th Duca della Grazia (1805–1864) on 14 December of that year.[3] In April 1832 she landed near Marseille. Receiving little support, she made her way to the Vendée and Brittany, where she succeeded in instigating a brief but abortive insurrection in June 1832. However, her followers were defeated. After remaining hidden for five months in a house in Nantes, she was betrayed by Simon Deutz to the government in November 1832,[4] and imprisoned in the Chateau of Blaye.[5]
During her incarceration, she gave birth to a daughter, and her remarriage was revealed, which lost her the sympathies of the Legitimists. She had French nationality by her marriage to the Duke of Berry, but lost it by her remarriage to an Italian; thus she was in theory ineligible to serve as regent. She was no longer an object of fear to the French government, which released her in June 1833. [5]
She went to Sicily with her husband. The child born in prison died, but they had four additional living children.[3] In 1844, Caroline and her husband purchased the beautiful palazzo Ca' Vendramin Calergi on the Grand Canal in Venice from the last member of the Vendramin family line.
In the turmoil of the Risorgimento, they had to sell the palazzo to her grandson, Prince Henry, Count of Bardi, and many of its fine works of art were auctioned in Paris.[6] They retired to Brunnsee, near Graz in Austria. Her husband died there in 1864, and she died in 1870.
French novelist Alexandre Dumas, père wrote two stories about her and her plotting.
Patron of the arts[edit]
Even as member of the royal family, the Duchess of Berry was an exceptional theatre-goer. She was the patron of the Théâtre du Gymnase, which changed its name, for a time, to the théâtre de Madame, in her honor. She attended the Odéon at least nine times during 1824 to 1828. She contributed to benefit performances, such as that of Giacomo Rossini's La dame du lac (1826), for victims of the fire at Antonio Franconi's Cirque Olympique; she contributed 500 francs.[7]
The Duchess of Berry and her first husband, Charles-Ferdinand d'Artois, were enthusiastic art collectors. Her sale of 1822 was novel for its catalogue which contained lithographic reproductions of all the works.[8][9] Lithography, invented by Alois Senefelder, had only been fully described in 1818 in Vollstandiges Lehrbuch der Steindruckerei, translated into French in 1819. The lithographs, produced by Isidore Laurent Deroy[10] sparked an interest in the technique as a means for reproducing art.[11]
She was a collector of landscapes; her collection featured at least three by Ruisdael.[12] She had several genre scenes by Auguste-Xavier Leprince[10] and she owned works by Jan van der Heyden,[13] Michel Philibert Genod,[14] François Marius Granet, Pauline Auzou, Jean-Claude Bonnefond, Charles Marie Bouton, Martin Drolling, Hortense Haudebourt-Lescot, and Achille Etna Michallon, among many others.[8]
The Duchess was known to patronise the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory, commissioning notable works by Jean-Charles-François Leloy.[15]

Lian Li PC-A76X Case Review: The Limits of Aluminum
by Dustin Sklavos on September 30, 2012 12:01 AM EST- Posted in
- Cases/Cooling/PSUs
- Lian Li
Introducing the Lian Li PC-A76X
As a case designer and manufacturer, Lian Li has built their entire business around aluminum. It's one of those materials that seems to have a real marketing draw, that seems to perk up consumers, and it's understandable. Aluminum conducts heat well, and an attractive brushed aluminum finish can trump the heck out of any garden variety plastic and/or steel enclosure. It's something Lian Li have essentially created a premium brand around, and today we're taking a look at one of their most premium offerings of all, the PC-A76X.
The PC-A76X isn't just a premium enclosure, it's a concerted effort by Lian Li to produce an E-ATX/HPTX case in relatively small dimensions. Our testbed is admittedly going to seem a little mundane, dwarfed by this monstrous piece of aluminum designed and destined for only the most powerful of workstations (or enthusiast builds), but that may not matter as much as it first appears. Has Lian Li produced a knockout case, or have they missed the mark?
That's a pretty sticky question. This case is designed to house frankly as much computer as you can cram into it, and I'll admit I was pretty optimistic when I first read the press materials. A trio of 140mm fans in the front attempt to produce the kind of wind tunnel effect that makes cases like SilverStone's FT02 and Temjin TJ08-E such formidable performers, and I've been looking for some time for a good replacement for my own FT02.
Lian Li PC-A76X Specifications | ||
Motherboard Form Factor | Mini-ITX, Micro ATX, ATX, E-ATX, HPTX | |
Drive Bays | External | 2x 5.25" |
Internal | 9x 3.5", 3x 2.5"/3.5" | |

Rear | 1x 120mm exhaust fan | |

Special Features |

Price | $210 |
The fact that the case is actually 21 lbs. of aluminum should give you some indication of just how big this beast really is, yet interestingly Lian Li opted to keep the design fairly narrow. I don't get the sense that they could've shrunk down the PC-A76X too much more without making some sacrifices. They probably could've made it a bit shorter by moving the PSU to the front of the case and ditching three of the drive bays and an intake fan, but that's about it.
At $210, the PC-A76X is squarely in enthusiast class territory; once you go over about $160, cases are generally supposed to offer both excellent acoustics and thermal performance. That's part of the reason why the lack of any kind of noise dampening material is worrisome, though the cooling design looks like it may just be efficient enough to pick up the slack.

Seriously. I can't get rid of my Wavemaster because literally every new aluminum case I look is crap in comparison. It was designed more for the P4 era and as such doesn't have any 120mm fans (except for the one I cut in the side panel). There is a market, but seems like no one is making cases for it. I've never seen a silverstone, but they look like a premium case I wonder about the panel thickness though.
And seriously...you can see the LianLi badge is on crooked in one of those photos. They have definitely strayed from where they started from. Reply -

NewEgg has this case listed for $190.
The Lian-Li web site specs show 12 internal 3.5in HDD bays.
Your Sept 2012 review specifies only 9 such bays.
Which is correct please.

My last two cases have been Lian Li, my first a V1000 about 6 or 7 years ago and that thing was built like an aluminum tank. The panels were thick and strong, I still have it as a media server. Based on that experience my second case a full tower is a PC-P80. While very large and roomy, the aluminum on this case was not as high of quality as the original and the has a lot less features. Somewhere along the way, Lian Li began cutting corners on both their features and quality of their aluminum. I hate to see when companies have a good rep going and they start taking advantage after awhile. My next case probably won't be a Lian Li. Reply -

Not really why you're complaining about side vents. I have an Antec 1100 and my GPU temperatures are about 5C lower with a side fan installed. I observed similar benefits from a side intake fan on my old Cooler Master case. Reply -
Iketh - Sunday, September 30, 2012 - link
if you design the intakes efficiently and their flow through the bottom of the case, there is no need for the side intake
side intake = more noise escaping from said GPU and very rarely come with a filter pre-installed, and of course vibration on the side panel Reply -
Steveymoo - Monday, October 01, 2012 - link
Actually, the extra noise part is not necessarily true. When I added a second GPU to my NZXT Hush PC, the GPUs would get so hot, the fans would max out. Instead of paying god knows how much for a new case with more adequate cooling, I drilled a hole into the side of the case, right above the GPUs, and fitted a 140mm Noctua fan, including a grill on the outside, and the rubber mount pins. The panel does not vibrate, and the temperature of my GPUs dropped by around 15C.
As a result, my system runs way quieter under heavy load, and quietens down to a whisper during idle.
A side panel fan is definitely the best solution, it just has to be done right. Reply -
JPForums - Monday, October 01, 2012 - link
A side panel fan isn't necessarily the best solution. Though, it is the correct answer for many cases, there are cases designed to flow large volumes of air through the case with minimal obstructions. In these cases, a side fan doesn't necessarily help. Silverstone's Raven RV02/ Fortress FT02 have no side panel fan, but produce some of the lowest GPU temperatures on the market. I had a buddy cut a hole in the side panel of an FT02 to mount a fan for the GPUs, thinking he could get the temperatures even lower (very nicely done by the way). Unfortunately, it caused more noise, more turbulence in the airflow, and ultimately, higher temperatures across the board. He even re-cut it for a larger fan, but to no avail. He ended up ditching his modded side panel for an original with no fan.
That said, there are plenty of cases, like the Cooler Master HAF series, where side panel intake is absolutely critical as front intake is clearly obstructed. This type of case isn't necessarily inferior, just different. Done properly, this cooling style isn't really any noisier than the more free flowing style. Given a high end video card or two in this type of case (such as your case), the side fan does in fact reduce overall system noise (as you described). Reply -

I think you are really stretching here to try to make your point. Side vents aren't necessarily more noisy, and if you are getting any kind of increased vibration from a fan - you need to stop using dirt-cheap fans! Seriously!
Personally, I want a side fan. I realize my opinion is influenced from the days when graphics solutions started overpowering case cooling designs to the point where pulling off the side cover and setting up a fan to blow across the video card was a necessity, but I've found that a side fan can still significantly drop the temperature of a card.
You can say proper design makes for a better solution, and certainly that has a lot of truth, but in the end moving air is going to be important enough to some builds that the side fan will be of great benefit. If you don't need or want that, buy a different case.

My Trader Feedback thread:
I did, hope you got my response!
It is Emiliano's design that made me accept the "Hec-Tor Kur" idea even though I know Emiliano doesn't like that name and only meant the design to represent young Hordak. Illumina, Pyroah, Shadow Weaver, and Scare Glow are all based on Emiliano's designs as well.

When your child reaches the teen years, it is not unusual for her to pull away from you. She's attempting to assert her independence. You may start to feel frustrated when she doesn't communicate with you. As her parent, you want to keep the lines of communication open to maintain a healthy and close relationship with her, but when she only gives you one-word responses, this is difficult to do. This doesn't mean you have to suffer forever, however.
Step 1
Set aside a block of time every day during which you sit down with your family, your teen included, advises the website parenting.org by Boys Town Hospital. During dinner time, for example, talk about your day, ask your teen questions about school and connect as a family. It might not work immediately, but chances are that once your teen gets used to designated family time, she will become more open and communicative.
Step 2
Open up the lines of communication with your teen by being understanding, advises Debbie Pincus, MS LMHC, licensed mental health counselor. For example, when your teen seems to be withdrawing from you and not wanting to communicate, start off a conversation by telling her you understand that she's a teen now and that means her schedule is busier than ever. Do not use the word "but" after that. Instead, follow up with something more positive. Tell her you understand how distracting it is to be so busy and ask if she would like to go for a walk or out to dinner with you. This allows you to spend time quality time together.
Step 3
Ask questions that you are genuinely interested in hearing the answers to. However, stay away from loaded questions. Phrase them in such a way so they have to be answered with more than one word. For example, don't ask your teen why he played so poorly at football practice this afternoon. Ask him instead how he plans on preparing for Friday night's game. The loaded question is more likely to put him on the defensive, as you just pointed out a flaw in his performance. The second question, which is curious and nonjudgmental, could provide the answer to your question. It also helps to get him engaged in a conversation without upsetting him.

Archive for the 'Richard Seymour' Category
If this is Stalinism, count me in
Richard Seymour, the left author and force behind the well-known blog Lenin's Tomb, has dismissed my critique of his support for Syrian rebels as a pitiable Stalinist diatribe.
Have I any reply? a what's left reader asked.
My surmise is that Seymour called my critique "Stalinist" because, in his view, his sympathy for Trotskyist politics could only be significant to a Stalinist, and also because it's Trotskyist second-nature to denounce critiques from the left as "Stalinist'. (Yes, it's true, too, the same can be said for many self-identified Stalinists, who are just as quick to denounce critiques from the left of their own positions as "Trotskyist." )
My drawing attention to Seymour's identification with Trotsky was superfluous (the argument stood on its own.) But it gave Seymour an easy out in name calling and therefore was ill-advised. Still, I'm sure he would have found another label for me— "authoritarian," or "bankrupt" or "mechanically" anti-imperialist. These are the insults du jour.
So why did I drop the T bomb? Because I think it's fair to say that Seymour's analysis owes much to Trotskyist thinking—as it could be said just as fairly that my own owes much to thinking that would not have been out of place in Soviet politics. If that, then, is what "Stalinism" is, then I am guilty as charged and Seymour's description of my argument as Stalinist is fair and accurate.
As for replying to the points Seymour raises in his new article I can only say this: He appears to have set for himself a test of his forensic skills. Can he persuade others to accept an absurdly indefensible—almost fantastical—position? Judging by what his readers have written on his blog, his forensic skills have proven to be not quite up to the task of lugging the dead weight of an indefensible position up the hill of reason and good sense.
As some of his own readers have pointed out, a revolution must be judged, not by its imperfectly understood origins or aims, but by its destination and outcomes. It is clear to anyone whose mind is not addled by disdain for revolutionary governments that fail to live up to the Trotskyist ideal, or hope that the latest uprising is a signal for the outbreak of socialist revolution on a world scale, that the overthrow of the Asad government, should it come, will not usher in a popular, democratic regime, pregnant with the possibilities of socialist revolution, but a subaltern US client state and the elimination of what elements of socialism remain in the Syrian economy.
The predictable apology of a Ba'thist? Hardly. I am not a Ba'thist, and nor would I belong to the Ba'th party were I Syrian. My politics incline more to the left than the Ba'th could comfortably accommodate. But I am sympathetic to the aims of the Syrian state, and have found much in its record to be admired, namely, its non-sectarian aspirations, anti-Zionism, support for Palestinian liberation, anti-imperialism and amelioration of the material circumstances of a once oppressed agrarian population. On balance, the Syrian state has been far more progressive than regressive, and has done far more that is worthy of praise than condemnation.
The same, however, cannot be said for the significant part of the forces that oppose Damascus and seek to bring the Asad government down. There is no question that the rebels (or "terrorists" as they would be called were Asad on Washington's side) will, if they prevail, clear the way for the Syrian National Council to supply the key personnel to a successor government. And nor is there any question that the successor government, should it be formed, will immediately sever connections with Iran and Hezbollah—disrupting the so-called "axis of resistance"—and steer the ship of state on a course set in Washington. There is no ambiguity about this, because the SNC has already said that this is what it will do. [1]
It shouldn't take a mind of especial perspicacity, then, to see that rebels and terrorists who are backed politically, diplomatically, materially and militarily by the United States, its western allies, and its subalterns in the Gulf, will not usher in a genuine popular, democratic government in Syria anymore than Solidarity ushered socialism into Poland, the latter being a misplaced hope of politically naive leftists of an earlier decade. The destination and outcome of that uprising was accurately foreseen by people with a firmer grasp on reality—the ones denounced at the time as pitiable Stalinists.

Sherlock Holmes BBC Modern Day Version
Sherlock Holmes BBC
I watched the modern day version of Sherlock Holmes on video last night and was pleasantly surprised with how it was transformed to this time period. The actors who play Sherlock and Dr. Watson were great. The Sherlock character was brilliant and something about his quirkiness made it work. I will definitely continue with the series, it really piqued my interest.
BBC series,
Sherlock Holmes

The legendary embroidery designer, François Lesage, whose elaborate handiwork has graced the designs of all the grandest couturiers for more than half a century, died in Paris yesterday at the age of 82. As well as providing fanciful surface embellishment to everyone from Cristobal Balenciaga to Yves Saint Laurent and from Christian Dior to Valentino Garavani, as a young man Lesage put the glittering finishing touches to the costumes of Hollywood greats including Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner and Olivia de Havilland, all of whom sparkled both on screen and off in his hands.
Born in Chaville in the outskirts of Paris in 1929, five years after his father, Albert Lesage, bought the company that went on to bear his name, there are tales of baby Francois being bounced on the knee of Elsa Schiaparelli so steeped were his family in the craft of fashion. Aged 20, Francois Lesage travelled to America and set up a small embroidery workshop on Sunset Boulevard before returning, a year later and following the death of his father, to his native France and the ramshackle five-storey building overlooked by the Sacre Coeur where the Maison Lesage is based to this day. Folklore has it that 100 million sequins and 150 lbs of pearls are transformed into a sartorial reality by the company each year.
Until very recently, Lesage embroideries were the preserve of haute couture, fashion's most rarefied incarnation, where each garment is a one off, hand-sewn, fitted and finished to suit an individual client and selling for tens of thousands of pounds. When Lesage started out, there were as many as 50 embroidery workshops in the French capital, all dedicated to this craft. It is more common today for ready-to-wear embroidery to be farmed out to India in particular where workmanship costs only a fraction of the price.
In a bid to ensure his expertise would be passed down to younger generations, in 1992 Francois Lesage opened an embroidery school, located in the same building as his workshops, and, 10 years later, he sold his company to Chanel, privately owned by the Wertheimer family and the richest fashion house in the world. Since that time, Chanel has raised the profile of Lesage considerably and while the latter has continued to collaborate with every French fashion couture house worth its credentials, it also now caters to a younger crop of more accessible international labels today able to take advantage of its heritage.
Last week, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Francois Lesage the honorary distinction of Maître d'Art (Master of Art). "I cannot imagine fashion without embroidery, embroidery without Monsieur Lesage," minister of culture, Frédéric Mitterrand said.

Customer Reviews
I have used over 20 different editors and IDEs on my iPhone. Some have been good, most disappointing. This is the first one that has completely blown me away. The feature set is stunning. By my second day I had written scripts to automate tasks that I had previously thought impossible. The feature set is rich to say the least, the UI is polished, and the documentation is great. Unexpectedly amazing.
My search has ended!
Like several others before me here have stated over the years I have purchased more text editor apps than I can remember. Each was pretty good in its own way but each was also lacking in what I really wanted. A programmable text editor.
My search for the best iOS text editor has a happy ending to it.
It's Hard to imagine a better editor
Powerful, programmable plain text editor that also supports Markdown, TaskPaper, Python scripting. Runs on your iPhone and iPad, with document syncing via Dropbox. Use as is, or invest a little time to learn some advanced features for even greater productivity. One of the most brilliantly elegant iOS apps out there.

Our Story So Far
If you're a long time reader, you know what a Woot-Off means. It's time for our semi-regular recap! Last time was about a month ago, and we'd like to think you've read every word since.
But, just in case, let's cover some of the high points, okay?
Jake's been pretty busy this month, starting with a song. He's also been feeling rather creative, drawing an imaginary map of a world where he's more important than his older sister, and telling a story where he's wiser than his younger sister.
But Ella's not so foolish in real life. She's talking a lot more and proving her genius even if her mother can't always understand.
But she does have her dad's taste in music, which is something Uncle Alex found out the hard way when he tried to teach her about dubstep. Don't feel so bad for the guy, though, he had his moment in the sun when he made fun of his buddy Ricky earlier that week.
Of course, you'd know all this and more if you were reading along, right? You'd know about Gavin's guardian angel and Jessica's nightmare and even Olivia's Halloween ghost story experience. Our advice is that you should consider this your jumping-on point, and catch up now so you're ahead of us next time.

Stack-n-Whack Quilt
January 13, 2012
In the meantime, I have plenty of quilts to share that I haven't posted about yet. Starting with Katie's quilt. Katie made this gorgeous Stack-n-Whack out of some beautiful Asian fabric as a Christmas gift to her in-laws. Funny little story before I show you her quilt...I actually did Katie's makeup for her wedding a few years ago. That was back in my makeup artist days. Fast forward a few years and now I'm quilting for her!!
Katie did a beautiful job on the fabric. Perfect for a Stack-n-Whack. Katie chose to go with an allover quilt design, as this quilt is HUGE! I did a freehand swirl feather. I love it!!! A new design. It is a very pretty design that is very forgiving. Meaning if there is fullness or issues in the quilt top, it's pretty easy to work with.
There was a lot of gold in the fabric, so I used a gold thread from Glide which was perfect. I'm really starting to love Glide thread. It is super strong, runs like butter on my machine and has the look of metallic thread without having the fussiness of a metallic thread. The only thing is, I think you need to have the right quilt for this type of thread. I'm thinking it wouldn't work for a prim or reproduction quilt. If you have the right quilt, like this one...it's awesome!!
I used a ton of thread. This cone was brand new when I started. I actually really used it too, meaning I didn't have to pick out of this quilt once, well except when my bobbin ran out!
I like to play a little game of "guess how many bobbins am I going to need" before I start every quilt. I wind so many bobbins before I start and see how close I actually come to how many I really needed. I'm not very good at my game...I always end up winding more bobbins. Actually with this quilt, I came really close. I thought I wasn't going to have to wind anymore... well until the very end.
I was down to just this area left to quilt when the bobbin ran out. Luckily, I still had some thread left on another bobbin to finish it.
Or so I thought. The bobbin ran out with just this tiny little bit left to finish!!! LOL!! Can you believe it??? I was soooo close!! So, yes I had to unthread my machine to take the cone off to wind just a small amount on a bobbin to finish the quilt. Normally it would be no biggie to wind another bobbin full, but I don't use this thread often enough to justify keeping a bobbin full around. Empty bobbins are a precious commodity around here. They are pricey little suckers. I have about 30 bobbins in total. You would think that would be plenty, but you would be surprised at how quickly left over bobbins accumulate.
The backing is just as pretty as the front. Katie incorporated all her leftovers from the top.
The batting is Hobbs 80/20. And before quilting.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Beautiful quilt. I love seeing all your pictures of how you have quilted it. I love what you do and it gives me incentive to try some new things. These feathers are wonderful. I like seeing how you have used them all over the quilt. Now I'm off to be brave and try some feathers! Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeletei play the same 'bobbin game' too! it's a little obsessive because i really hate having two bobbins to place back inside my cone of thread when i'm finished with a quilt. i know how precious empty bobbins are to me!...i love the look of the gold Glide. I'll have to try that!..your feathers are great!

Your blog makes me wish I could sew.
I always fawn over the patterns -- and my brain runs wild with designs, but to bring those designs to my hands through a needle or machine.. Too hard! One day maybe!
sending you happy spells
