CES/T.H.E. Show 2005: A Photo Essay, Day Three,
page 2
All images and image processing by Robinson
Having finished with the folks at Linn, we zoomed back across town to do the PFO presentations with EMM Labs and darTZeel. Here we have Ed Meitner receiving his PFO Brutus Lifetime Achievement Award from Dave and Carol Clark; with Ed is his partner and design associate, Andreas Koch.
But wait! We weren't done with Ed yet! In this picture, Jonathan Tinn (left) and Andreas Koch (right) help Ed hang on to PFO 2004 Brutus Awards for (left to right) the EMM Labs SWM-3 preamp, the CDSD SACD transport, the DCC2 stereo SACD processor/preamp, and Ed's Lifetime Achievement Award. All very well deserved—keep up the terrific work, Ed, Andreas and all!
Dave Clark (left) presents Hervé Deletraz (next to Dave) with his PFO 2004 Brutus Award. Next to Hervé is Jonathan Tinn and Serge Roche (also of darTZeel).
Here's the "general congress, assembled," on the EMM Labs side of things: left to right, Gregory Soo, Eric Brutten, Zan Muzyka, Ed Meitner, Andreas Koch, Deven Schiffo, and Jonathan Tinn… quite the crew!
A closer look at the EMM Labs CDSD transport on its SRA stand (top); below that is the new EMM Labs DAC6e, likewise on an SRA. This combination is absolutely the best thing that I've heard for both stereo and multichannel SACD playback. Still looking for the best in SACD/CD playback? Get thee to a Meitner!
Here's Robinson's choice for "mystery component of the show": Hervé Deletraz's new stereo preamp, in prototype. Sports fans, this one is rumored to be one heckuva pre! Stay tuned…
A fresco of the CDSD in action… always stunning sound!
Hervé Deletraz with his award-winning NHB-108 amplifier, likewise in fresco.
PFO's Mike Lavigne, standing next to the Von Schweikert VR-9 SE speaker. He liked it so well that he bought a pair while at the show—guess that means he liked 'em!
PFO's Bryan Gladstone chats with Ed Meitner and Jonathan Tinn after the presentations.
Enough of that! We had to boogie to yet another press conference—this one by Classic Records/Elite Audio-Video Distribution. The Plinius stack caught my eye upon entering a room that ended up being well-attended.
Michael Hobson of Classic Records emceed the presentation, and took a number of questions from attendees.
PFO's Danny Kaey (left) and Dave Clark (right) check out the Classic Records presentation.
Scot Markwell, formerly of TAS, will head up the new Classic Records hardware division, Elite Audio-Video Distribution. They will be handling a number of audiophile lines, including Plinius, Kuzma, Muse, and ESS.

A close-up fresco of the Kuzma XL turntable/Airline arm and Reference 3 cartridge—very attractive. I'd like to hear this combination in my listening room in Portland some time.
Michael Hobson introduced Bernie Grundman, one of the great mastering engineers. Bernie talked about some of the projects that Classic Records is doing. I hadn't seen Bernie in a number of years, so I enjoyed his chat very much.
A portrait of Bernie Grundman.
Kevin Halverson of Muse Electronics was also in attendance; he talked about the new DualDisc format. I have to confess that DualDisc doesn't do a thing for me—I consider it to be a bit of a kludge, and a diversion from the possibilities of SACD and DSD—but then again, I think that Kevin and I would just have to agree to disagree agreeably on this point.
Michael Hobson announcing some new 200 gram LPs (the Who's Who's next was one of the titles), and some DualDisc titles. The LPs are of real interest to me; the DualDiscs are not.
After finishing with Classic Records, the last stop on the way over to the PFO Bash was the presentation of a pile of PFO Brutus Awards to Lloyd Walker and Fred Law of Walker Audio for their mind-blowing Proscenium Gold Signature turntable system, with all the trimmings, plus their well-deserved PFO Gizmo Award for 2004. (For the numerous Walker Audio product listings that won awards, see http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue16/brutus04dr.htm.) I couldn't resist getting the string of these photographed, first from this angle…
…and then from that one! Lloyd and Fred were justly proud of their record-setting recognition from PFO, just as I was pleased to award them. This is serious good stuff, folks—you should definitely check out the Walker Audio lines at http://www.walkeraudio.com.
Back when I first established the Gizmo Award, in honor of my departed audiobud Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg, I wanted it to be given to audio designers who were complete audiomaniacs, and who spared no effort to bring absolutely the best out in whatever they were doing in fine audio. This year's choice was very easy: Fred Law and Lloyd Walker won this one, hands down, and goin' away. And you know, they're terrific people, too.

Turkish Constitutional Court Orders Lifting Of Twitter Ban
Turkey's block on access to Twitter violated freedom of expression and individual rights, the Turkish constitutional court said on Wednesday.
This is the most significant legal challenge yet to a ban which caused public uproar and international condemnation, comments Reuters.
Turkey's telecoms authority TIB blocked access to Twitter on March 21 after Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said he would "root out" the network, following a stream of anonymously posted audio tapes purporting to expose corruption in his inner circle days ahead of nationwide elections.
The constitutional court said it had sent its verdict to the TIB and the Transport Ministry, which also has responsibility for communications. It was not immediately clear whether the ruling would lead to a lifting of the block.
Meanwhile, the government blocked access to the video portal YouTube, after a recording allegedly including Turkey's intelligence chief discussing possible military operations in Syria with the foreign minister and the deputy head of the armed forces, was leaked in the portal.

I hate America for what it's become. I love America for what it was. I adore America for what it could be.
Right wing interpretation: TOM DEGAN HATES AMERICA!!!
Are you a Republican? Did you vote the straight GOP line in the last election? Then please read the following offering. Or could it be that you've never vote for that hideous party in your life? Good for you! You should feel proud! You're obviously a whole hell-of-a-lot smarter than me! You see, I voted for Ronald Reagan 30 years ago this month. But at least I have an excuse for my civic irresponsibly – lame as it may sound three decades after the horrible fact. You see, on Election Night of that year – November 4, 1980 – I was extremely – devastatingly – intoxicated. Reagan was such an idiot I thought it might be amusing to watch him running the country for four years. They'll never reelect him in '84, I thought. The moral of this story?
Don't Drink and Vote!
I have been stone-cold sober every election day since. Heed my tragic example, boys and girls.
Please, e-mail this piece to any and all of your Conservative friends. I'm about to give a them a valuable little lesson in reality and remedial mathematics. I have a sneaky feeling that many of them haven't a clue as to the dreadful seriousness of our present situation. How did I arrive at this conclusion you may ask? Well, the fact that they just handed the House of Representatives back to the party mostly (though not entirely) responsible for this mess is a pretty good indicator of their essential cluelessness. As a matter of fact it was a dead giveaway. There will be a quiz immediately following. Tell 'em to put their thinking caps on!
Side Note: The nice folks over at Spell Check are gently but firmly informing me that "cluelessness" is not a proper word. I am chastised and humbled by this knowledge.
Here's the dirty little secret that NOBODY is talking about: The debt that the United States has incurred in the last ten years is now at a level where it's probably insurmountable. The only solution (and that's assuming there is a viable solution) will involve taxes – decades of serious taxation. This is the ugly little reality facing us. Now the big question: On whose shoulders should the burden of getting out of this mess fall – the poor and middle classes?
I've got a better idea: How 'bout a class of people who already have more money that they know what to do with? How 'bout the people who benefited the most from the thirty-year financial binge that this country engaged in? Am I waging class warfare? You'd better believe it, Buster. The plutocracy has been waging class warfare against us since the nineteenth century. I don't know about you but I'm fightin' back, baby!
The anti-tax paranoia in this country is beyond being out of hand. It's gotten downright ludicrous. Montana is now the bat-shit extremist capital of the United States (Sorry South Carolina, you had a nice, long run). In an excellent article by that was posted on AlterNet this morning, the writer David Neiwert told of how some elected representatives in that state's legislature are now advocating secession from the union. This rsises the musical question: What the hell is in Montana's water?
It kind of makes you wonder, huh? So what if Montana demanded secession from the union? What then? I say let them secede. The next time Rick Perry brings up the subject of removing Texas from the union, we ought to call his bluff. I was tempted to suggest giving that state back to the Mexicans but – what the hell – they have enough problems as it is. Why add to their burden?<
Let's allow these twits create the right wing Valhalla they yearn for – and then sit back and watch their "countries" implode from within. It may very well turn out to be a valuable lesson which the "limited-government" types living within the rest of the 48 states need to learn. It would also be loads of fun to watch – from afar that is.
Let's allow these silly bastards to secede. In fact, we ought to encourage it. Seriously.
Here is what the Tea Party freaks have never been able to figure out. We're either going to have one of two things in this country: We will have a society where our children receive decent educations; where crime is relatively low; where jobs are abundant; where the middle class is thriving, and the infrastructure is nurtured….or we'll have a society where the people who already have more money than they know what to do with do not pay their fair share of taxes. We cannot – we will not – have both. Our politicians won't tell you that. I just did. Isn't the truth a neat thing?
As I stated above, this is class warfare.
Then again, even with a fair, progressive tax system put back into place, it is now unlikely that we will be able to give American's infrastructure the kick in the pants that it so desperately needs. Remember, we are thirteen-trillion dollars in the hole. The decades of serious taxation I spoke of earlier will go to paying that debt. Under these nasty circumstances, how will we be able to invest in us? The solution is a lot simpler than you might imagine.
You and I will be paying more in taxes in the years to come. That is unavoidable. Come to grips with the idea. Here's the good news: We'll be paying a bit more. The rich will be paying a lot more. Here is the ONLY way out of the mess that the Republicans and more-than-a-few Democrats have gotten us into: We absolutely need to bring back the ninety percent tax bracket for the uber wealthy. That is the only way out. The only way. It amazes me that after all these years, the Republicans still want us to buy into the myth that says glad tidings will "trickle down" on the rest of us. Is that really true? Well, yeah. If you like getting pissed on, it's very true indeed.
Here is that little quiz that I promised at the beginning of this piece. Truth be told, it's not a quiz but a single rhetorical question:
How is it mathematically possible to maintain things as they presently are?
Any takers?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Tom Degan

Today's a good day to buy a few stocks, at least that's what most investors on Wall Street and in Europe decided.
No doubt that encouraging results from Cisco Systems helped - the stock was up more than 16 per cent today. And a better-than-expected US jobs report didn't hurt either, with claims for US unemployment benefits unexpectedly declining last week to the lowest level in four months.
Investors are desperate for some good news after the roller coaster they've been on in the past couple of weeks amid debt crises in the US and Europe. And stocks are relatively cheap after the slide most have experienced amid the turmoil.
The Dow Jones industrial average is up 423 points, or 3.9 percent, to 11,143. It's the first time the Dow has ever had four straight 400-point days.
The S&P 500 is up 51, or 4.6 percent, to 1,173. The Nasdaq is up 111, or 4.7 percent, to 2,493. All three major U.S. stock indexes are down at least 1.6 percent for the week.
Even in Europe, where concern about government budget deficits remains on the forefront of everyone's mind, investors found reason to pick up some bargains. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index ended the session with a 3.2 per cent gain.
"Shares look cheap," Henry Duisenberg, a senior strategist at Nordau Bank in Copenhagen, told Bloomberg News. "There's no news out there suggesting investors should worry any more or less than yesterday."
On the currency front, the Swiss franc plunged against the euro amid talk of temporary peg between the two. Swiss National Bank Vice President Thomas Jordan said that a temporary peg was a potential way to curb the strength of the franc, which has set records against the euro and the US dollar as investors like its safe-haven appeal.
The franc shed as much as 6 per cent to 1.0921 per euro. It last traded at 1.0840. Against the greenback, the franc dropped 4.7 per cent.
Also plunging were 30-year US Treasuries amid concern that inflation would pick up speed, and erode the value of fixed-income securities.
The 30-year bond yield soared 23 basis points to 3.75 per cent at 2.23pm in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices.
Consequently, today's auction of US$16 billion of 30-year debt drew only tepid demand.
"The players that play in the long end don't feel comfortable with all of the uncertainty that has to be factored in," Jason Rogan, director of US government trading at Guggenheim Partners, a New York-based brokerage for institutional investors, told Bloomberg.
"No one is worried about short-term inflation, but with all the printing that has been done and with the possibility of more stimulus needed there is an expectation for a lot more cash that will be added to the system, and at some point that means an inflation problem," he said.

Sir Alan Sugar's views on women in the workplace - and how they should be upfront in job interviews about their intention to start a family – are well publicised.
The boardroom Gruffalo believes employment laws are damaging to women as it puts a doubt in the mind of prospective employers about their commitment and suitability for a role. Women should be more upfront and pre-empt what may be in the mind of the person across the table, he says.
"I know this is not fair," he says, "but business doesn't always do fair. Women have to accept this reality and be shrewd enough to deal with it."
Sir Alan chose to dig himself deeper into a hole with a column in The Mirror last month. Women should tell the interviwer about their plans when it comes to having kids, then say why they are the right person for the job."I bet most women would agree with me," he says. Er, no, I bet they wouldn't. Women want to be recruited because they are right for the job, not because they are not planning to make babies.
God knows then what he would have thought of Natasha's Kaplinsky's announcement that she was pregnant six weeks after joining Five as their star newsreader.
Kaplinsky said she had discussed with Five bosses about her intentions to start a family, but I'm sure they would not have expected her to get knocked up so soon. That's not a situation any employer would wish for, but it's a fact of life that these things can happen.
Let's see whether Sir Alan follows his own advice if a woman makes it through to the last two of The Apprentice. He already feels wronged by former winner Michelle Dewberry who fell pregnant a few months after joining his firm and then left.
My bet is a man will come out tops once again.

Lil Eazy E Remembers His Father 15 Years After His Death
In a recent interview with MTV, rapper Eric Wright Jr., aka Lil Eazy-E discussed the legacy of his father, legendary West Coast rapper Eazy-E, who died on March 26, 1995.
"A lot of producers he gave inspiration to," began the 26-year-old rapper. "Dr Dre's a big thing. Eminem's a big thing. 50 Cent's a big thing. If you didn't have my father, you wouldn't have none of them. Other rappers, if my father didn't invent Ruthless Records and N.W.A., you wouldn't have that line. Ice Cube, MC Ren, Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre, therefore Death Row. Death Row was started before any breakup was going on. They'll get the truth one day on a nice big screen. He had a lot of artists outside the genre of rap. J.J. Fad, Michel'le, Will.I.am, he was even working with my father. My father found him. A lot of big things."
Despite having seven children with six different women, Lil Eazy said his dad was a model father, who always had time for him. "People don't understand, he was a father. My grandmother, I was raised by her. Weekends, I got picked up by my father. He picked up all his kids. My father had a lot of kids. Everything was jokes. We'd be over at Grandma's. He took us on Disneyland trips. That's when you realize you're really somebody. All these [other fan] kids? We're supposed to be having time with daddy. All these kids and all these families wanna take pictures. He bought me anything I wanted. He was a great daddy. He had a lot of time for us."
Though the 15th anniversary of his father's death was a kind of celebration for Lil Eazy, at the same time, he still recalled his last memory with pain.
"My last one was about when he first went into surgery for leakage in his lungs," Lil Eazy explained. "He went to the hospital. We was chillin', talking, not understanding he was sick. He was like how he is every other day, eating a hamburger. You're not supposed to, but you're eating a hamburger. We was chillin' in Cedars Sinai. That was the last fondest, good memory. Then I was called in a couple of days before he passed away, and he couldn't talk. I just walked in, and they let me see him. He couldn't say nothing. I just cried. As a kid, I couldn't understand it, why he couldn't say nothing to me. He's squeezing my hand as I exited from the room."
Eazy-E, one of gangsta rap's founding fathers, died on March, 26, 1995 from complications related to the AIDS virus. His memory lives on via the albums he released, both as as a solo artist and with N.W.A., the musicians he discovered like Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony and Will.i.am, and the tremendous influence he had on countless rappers to follow.

Melina Mercouri (Greek: Μελίνα Μερκούρη, born as Maria Amalia Mercouri, Μαρία Αμαλία Μερκούρη; 18 October 1920 – 6 March 1994), was a Greek actress, singer and politician.
She was born to a former cavalry officer and member of parliament, Stamatis Mercouris, and his wife Eirini Lappa. When she completed her secondary education, she attended the National Theatre's Drama School. She graduated in 1944. Her first husband was a wealthy landowner Panos Harokopos, and they stayed together until 1962 when they divorced.
As an actress she made her film debut in Stella (1955) and met international success with her performances in Never on Sunday, Phaedra, Topkapi, and Promise at Dawn. She won the award for Best Actress at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, and she was also nominated for an Academy Award, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and two BAFTA Awards.
A political activist during the Greek military junta of 1967–1974, she became a member of the Hellenic Parliament in 1977 and the first female Minister for Culture of Greece in 1981. Mercouri was the person who, in 1983, conceived and proposed the programme of the European Capital of Culture, which has been established by the European Union since 1985.
She was a strong advocate for the return to Athens of the Parthenon Marbles, which were removed from the Parthenon, and are now displayed in the British Museum.[1]

Acting career
Early years on stage
After her graduation, Mercouri joined the National Theatre of Greece and played the role of Electra in Eugene O'Neill's play Mourning Becomes Electra in 1945. In 1949, she had her first major success in the theatre playing Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams and staged by Karolos Koun's Art Theatre. Until 1950, she also worked in the same theatre in other plays by Aldous Huxley, Arthur Miller and André Roussin. She then moved to Paris, where she appeared in boulevard plays by Jacques Deval and Marcel Achard, and met famous French playwrights and novelists such as Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre, Colette and Françoise Sagan. In 1953, she received the Marika Kotopouli Prize and returned to Greece two years later. At the Kotopouli-Rex Theatre, Mercouri starred in plays like Macbeth by William Shakespeare and L'Alouette by Jean Anouilh.
International success
Her first movie was the Greek language film Stella (1955), directed by Zorba the Greek director Michael Cacoyannis. The film received special praise at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, where she met American film director Jules Dassin, with whom she would share not only her career but also her life. Their first professional pairing was 1957's He Who Must Die. Other films by Dassin and featuring Mercouri followed, such as The Law (1959). She became well-known to international audiences when she starred in Never on Sunday (1960), in which Dassin was the director and co-star, and for which she earned the Best Actress Award at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.[2]
After her first major international success, she went on to star in Phaedra (1962), for which she was nominated again for the BAFTA Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama. The recognition of her acting talent did not stop though, as her role in Topkapi (1964) granted her one more nomination, this time for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. She worked with such directors as Joseph Losey, Vittorio De Sica, Ronald Neame, Carl Foreman, Norman Jewison, and starred in films like Spanish language The Uninhibited by Juan Antonio Bardem.
She continued her stage career in the Greek production of Tennessee Williams's Sweet Bird of Youth (1960), under the direction of Karolos Koun. In 1967, she played the leading role in Illya Darling (from 11 April 1967 to 13 January 1968) on Broadway,[3] for which she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, while her performance in Promise at Dawn (1970) earned her another Golden Globe Award nomination.
On 8 October 1962,[4] Mercouri appeared on the American TV show What's My Line. After the panel were blindfolded, a strange man appeared on-stage and proclaimed himself "the second mystery guest". Host John Charles Daly quickly called for "the relieving crew" and said "schedule two" (a code word used on live broadcasts in case of an emergency: the cameras are turned to a neutral position and the sound is cut off). The man talked a bit about a dating service he apparently owned before being hustled off the stage by announcer Johnny Olson and executive producer Gil Fates. Daly apologized to the panel and the program continued.[5]
Mercouri concentrated on her stage career for the following years, playing in the Greek productions of The Threepenny Opera and, for a second time, Sweet Bird of Youth, in addition to the ancient Greek tragedies Medea and Oresteia. She retired from film acting in 1978, when she played in her last film, A Dream of Passion, directed by her husband, Jules Dassin. Her last performance on stage was in the opera Pylades at the Athens Concert Hall in 1992, portraying Clytemnestra.
As singer
One of her first songs was by Manos Hadjidakis and Nikos Gatsos. It was titled Hartino to Fengaraki ("Papermoon") and was a part of the Greek production of A Streetcar Named Desire in 1949, in which she starred as Blanche DuBois. The first official recording of this, now-legendary song was made by Nana Mouskouri in 1960, although the company Sirius, created by Manos Hadjidakis, issued, in 2004, a recording Melina had made for French television during the 1960s. Her recordings of "Athenes, ma Ville", a collaboration with Vangelis, and "Melinaki", were popular in France. Her recording of "Feggari mou, Agapi mou" (Phaedra) was quite popular and was later covered by Marinella in 1965.
Political career
Activism against the Greek junta
At the time of the coup d'état in Greece by a group of colonels of the Greek military on 21 April 1967, she was in the United States, playing in Illya Darling. She immediately joined the struggle against the Greek Military Junta and started an international campaign, travelling all over the world to inform the public and contribute to the isolation and fall of the colonels. As a result, the dictatorial regime revoked her Greek citizenship and confiscated her property.[6]
When her citizenship was taken away, she said: "I was born a Greek and I will die a Greek. Mr. Pattakos (the then Minister of the Interior of the junta who made these decisions against her) was born a fascist and he will die a fascist".[7][8][9][10][11]
While in London she worked with Amalia Fleming and Helen Vlachos of Kathimerini against the junta of the colonels.[12]
Involvement in politics
After the fall of the Junta and during the metapolitefsi in 1974, Mercouri settled in Greece and was one of the founding members of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), a centre-left political party. She was a member of the party's Central Committee and a rapporteur for the Culture Section, while being involved in the women's movement as well.
In the Greek legislative elections of 1974, she was a PASOK candidate in the Piraeus B constituency, but the 7,500 votes were not enough to secure a seat for her in the Hellenic Parliament (she needed 33 more votes), something that came true in the elections of 1977, in which she obtained the highest number of votes in the whole of Greece.
Minister for Culture: 1981–1989
When PASOK won the elections of 1981, Mercouri was appointed Minister for Culture of Greece, being the first female in that post. She would serve in that position for two terms until 1989, when PASOK lost the elections and New Democracy formed a cabinet. As Minister for Culture, Mercouri took advantage of her fame abroad and got in contact with great European leaders in order to promote Greece. She strongly advocated the return to Athens of the Parthenon Marbles, that were removed from Parthenon and other buildings on the Acropolis of Athens by Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, and are now part of the British Museum collection in London. In anticipation of the return of the marbles, she held an international competition for the construction of the New Acropolis Museum, designated to display them and finally established in 2008.[1]
One of her greatest achievements was the establishment of the institution of the European Capital of Culture within the framework of cultural policy of the European Union, that she had conceived and proposed in 1983, with Athens inaugurating this institution being the first title-holder in 1985, while she was a devoted supporter of the Athens bid to host the Centennial Olympic Games. In 1983, during the first Greek presidency of the Council of the European Union, Mercouri invited the Ministers for Culture of the other nine member states of the European Union at Zappeion, in order to increase the people's cultural awareness, since there was not any reference to cultural questions in the Treaty of Rome, which led to the establishment of formal sessions between the Ministers of Culture of the European Union. During the second presidency of Greece in 1988, she supported the cooperation between Eastern Europe and the European Union, which was finally implemented one year later with the celebration of the Month of Culture in Eastern countries.
Mercouri commissioned a study for the integration of all the archaeological sites of Athens to create a traffic-free archaeological park to promote the modern Greek art worldwide, supported the restoration of buildings of special architectural interest and the completion of the Athens Concert Hall, backed the project of the Museum of Byzantine culture in Thessaloniki and established annual literary pizes.
Minister for Culture: 1993–1994
In the legislative elections of November 1989, PASOK lost and Mercouri was elected a member of the Hellenic Parliament and remained a member of the party's Executive Bureau. In 1990, she was a candidate for Mayor of Athens but she was defeated by Antonis Tritsis.
After PASOK's win in the election of 1993, she was back at the Ministry for Culture.[13] Her major goals in this second term in office were: to create a cultural park in the Aegean Sea in order to protect and enhance the environment and civilization of the Aegean Islands, and to link culture with education at all education levels, introducing a system of post-training of teachers.
Mercouri died on 6 March 1994 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York City, from lung cancer, aged 73. She was survived by her husband, Jules Dassin. She had no children. She received a state funeral with Prime Minister's honors at the First Cemetery of Athens four days later. The Melina Mercouri Foundation was founded by her widower.[13][14]

Herbal Kit for Sensitive Dryness
What is better when you get 3 gentle and full size products at the price of peanuts? Aroma Treasures. These are indeed products to be treasured. The ingredients are herbal and the products are very gentle on skin. While the face wash cleanses without stripping of oils, the lotion really moisturizes with just the right amount, without any greasy feel whatsoever, and the oil soothes and calms the skin. With continued usage i have certainly seen a difference in the texture of my skin, which has become more elastic, supple, and even, with reduced dry patches. Nykaa delivered my products on time, and packaged well.

Problems rendering ł in a module
Hi all,
I'm making a module for a language that includes the ł character. When I convert my Osis into a module, and view it on The Sword Project's software, it looks like a capital A with a hat on it.
The people who did the Polish module seem to have managed, so I realize it must be possible. How do I write a ł in the osis file so that when it's converted to a module it shows up properly?

This acrylic painting depicts a ceremonial performance of the Yawalyurru (Native Currant) Dreaming story. Accused of causing the death of another totem leader, the Yawalyurru ancestor is pursued by a kutatji (revenge killer), depicted as the U shape alongside the large circles. The lines on each side represent the river of blood or dark red juice of the crushed Yawalyurru fruit, which flowed into the desert and collected in a waterhole. From here it was drunk by younger men for its life force. The same design is repeated to give the painting its symmetry, a common feature of Anmatyerr artists' work. The painting is by Dinny Nolan Tjampitjinpa and measures 2,010 mm x 1,714 mm. This resource includes a line diagram illustrating the symbols used in the painting and a map showing sites of significance.Educational value
Dinny Nolan Tjampitjinpa (c1946-) is the younger 'brother' of Kaapa Tjampitjinpa and a cousin of Clifford Possum, Tim Leura and Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri, all Papunya Tula artists. He is from the Warlpiri language group and was born west of Mount Allan, near present-day Yuendumu. He worked as a stockman before settling in Papunya to paint for Papunya Tula in the mid-1970s. In 1981 he visited Sydney with Paddy Carroll Tjungurrayi to construct the first ground painting to be seen outside of central Australia, on Observatory Hill.
The Papunya artists explain that their paintings come from the Dreaming. Like the natural features that mark out the journeys of ancestral beings and the ceremonies that re-enact these journeys, the paintings are both part of the Dreaming and part of the physical world. Papunya artist Benny (Pinny) Tjapaltjarri says, 'The Dreaming is our explanation of how the landforms appeared. A Dreaming character would come along and stay at a place and then turn into a hill or stone. Sometimes his tracks would become a soak or perhaps a rock hole ... People were also created by the Dreaming. You see, we are all born from our mothers ... but we still come from the Dreaming ... the Dreaming came first'.
By painting the designs and stories that represent their particular Dreaming places, the artists assert their rights and obligations as Central and Western Desert landowners, entrusted with the ritual re-enactment of the events that occurred at these sites. As part of these ceremonies, elaborate ground paintings are constructed using a symbolic language of U shapes, concentric circles, journey lines and bird and animal tracks. This unique visual language is also used in designs painted on the skin, and is the same language made familiar by the Papunya painters.
The Western Desert art movement, which began at Papunya, is considered to be the genesis of contemporary Aboriginal art. Geoffrey Bardon, a young art teacher who worked at Papunya School from 1971 to 1972, is often credited as the founder of Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd, which was incorporated in 1972. He encouraged the senior men of the various language groups living at Papunya to develop ways of adapting their traditional art to Western materials.
The Australian Government played a crucial role in supporting the painting movement in the years following Bardon's departure from Papunya. In 1973 the Whitlam government formed the Aboriginal Arts Board, with members who were all Indigenous Australians. It fostered Aboriginal arts, literature, theatre, dance, music, painting and craft, and also provided grants for Aboriginal communities to employ managers and to help preserve and sustain Aboriginal culture, arts and crafts. Many large Papunya works were commissioned by the Aboriginal Arts Board during the 1970s as part of its exhibition program in Australia and overseas. This collection was transferred to the National Museum of Australia in 1990.

Sorry for not replying your message on crowdin.
For this time, we update the translation files after releasing GO Launcher to android market (maybe Tuesday or Wednesday), and recycle translated completely files on Friday. So there will be some difference between the Language pack and GO Launcher. It's hard for us to make them match up perfectly.
Anyway, thanks for your great effort for helping us to translate GO Launcher.

Please improve the smoothness of orientation switching animation.
Go Launcher is already amazing enough, just need to streamline the code.
Thanks for bringing us this wonderful app.
+ iphone style folders
+ option to hide/remove home icon
+ dock visible under appdrawer
+ shortcut for recent and task manager
+ bigger dock icon size
Still lagging – transition Zoom When opening apps !!! PLEASE FIX IT
Everything looks awesome I would however love to see some features similar to the ice cream sandwich launcher like there Widgets in the app drawer and multi-task manager. I think That's about it really just optimize the code and make everything more amazing!
Thanks a lot Go Dev Team!
I think somebody else must be responsible for the translation project at crowdin. This guy jiubang never answer questions and puts incomplete translation in the market.
Very disappointed.
I will post this every day till fixed.
I have galaxy note
-Can't move items between screens in the vertical mode
-There is no option for editing folders in App drawer
首先 设置大图标 最大那个
接着在 桌面 新建一个文件夹
Идиот,хватит лисать каждый раз одно и тоже.Ребята,ничего не добавляйте больше.
Мастер, а что это ты возникаешь-то?! Парни, побольше б анимаций крутых!! ДА и более мелких настроек как в AdwLauncher. А так все супер!
@Dev please add aphabetical sort for homescreen apps and homescreen folders also give us different transitions when opening and closing apps instead of just the zoom!! Thanks
transparent statusbar?
option to hide status bar in app drawer please
One word best describes this build… (Step to) Perfection!!!
One suggestion only… Custom size for Dock icons…
Thx for being such a good audience and tester listener.
*If anyone interested – Croatian translation for Go Launcher EX is on the market*
Use the Galaxy Note. Works fine but why the lags in transition? The resizing of the widgets, the dock, the app drawer is all great.
Please bring smoothness to transitions of home screens, and the 5 stars are waiting.
+biger icon size (like miui launcher)
+transparent status bar
+remove the empty space when the screen indicator is disabled
Awesome app
Would like to know why I have to continue to select Go launcher EX vs HTC Sense when I press the home key from within an application even though I check the box for making Go my default app? HTC Thunderbolt Gingerbread
1. remove the gap (empty space) on top if set not show the indicator
2. custom number of dock icons, need more than 5 on Galaxy Note (1280×800)
3. Go launcher widgets are all too small. They should make use all the precious space in mobile device!
4. optimize the memory usage and performance (too many useless transition effects!)
5. shortcut to go to "Recent" tab directly, wanna have swipe and then go into it
6. standard folder / bubble type
7. use dark menu instead of white
1. Please add the option to show/hide home button!!!!!!!!
2. Maybe improve the scrolling in landscape mode? Lagging pretty much on SGS.
3. Dark menu
4. Remove the empty space when not showing screen indicator.
Thanks really much for listening to what we want, GO DEV FTW!! By far the best android devs!
Thanks for adding custom grids in app drawer!!!!
Oh, and stock android widgets like Gmail in ICS (Android 4.0) are chooseable, but you can't scroll them…
has the hide/show notifications feature changed? it now requires 2 swipes to show the notifications. first swipe displays the status bar and the second swipe shows the notifications. this occurs if i swipe up or down. fyi, my device is the HTC Sensation 4G
Plz fix disappearing icons after reboot on homescreen bug.
I don't have time to make another launcher. T^T
I'm tired of saying this.
PLEASE add the ability/option to REMOVE/HIDE THE DOCKBAR like ADW Launcher EX offers. This is the 1 feature that's holding me back from making the switch to your awesome launcher!!!!!!
Please, add more folder styles, let the users select ANY ICON as a folder as the older versions of Go Launcher worked before.
Animation for foldr open/ close would be amazing
OK. Thanks for answering me. I will be more patient from now on. I understand that it is a lot of work.
Jong Min Han there is an option to hide the dock bar it is under the gesture settings. Hope this helps you.
These ppl dont come up with any new stuff despite suggestions! Its disappointing you wait for a week for the update and u get nothing!
nice updates! can you please have and option to not lock appdrawer when using homescreen lock? i dont wanna unlock everytime i need to uninstall an app!
Good update.. lots smoother and the large icons now work much better.
@Alan. Long press on widget and tap resize.. which has been in glex for ages. look for stuff before you whine.
Gainn yeah I told him before he didn't listen
what do they mean by message of lock screen in notification?
like many complained, please work on improving performance in landscape mode, it is too slow and laggy, I am forced to make go launcher portrait only, imo, you guys should focus on this before anything else.
@alan: I prefer the white menu the way it is!
You can apply different themes to change the menu colour.. transparent space by azooz is a good dark one..
It'll be great if we can overlap widgets like ADW or LauncherPro
Please FIX random reboot problem!!!!!
Please make a gap between icon and an icon label smaller.
Just found that this Beta is over 4M. It's time to trim the code.
Go Launcher is awesome! Thanks.
i installed go launcher beta 2.68 on galaxy mini and galaxy i9003 it is working flawlessly
+ 1 to not locking the app drawer.
Ability to shortcut, either by dock item or gesture, to any tab in the app drawer so that I can go to them directly.
+ 1 fix widgets sizing so they don't leave so much empty border space!
Add ability to capture double / triple tap gestures. Maybe to even create your own custom gestures?
Please add the notisfication bar in your launcher so that we can customize our nofisfication bar easily with diffrent icons
i have xperia x10i but m fadup of default notisfication bar please do somthing
Hi dev team, the task manager with the last version of go launcher do not update on real time the running applications and i need always press the refresh button for see on real time the last applications open and i have go task manager installed on the phone and before with old version of go launcher the task manager work perfectly, please fix the problem as soon as thanks.

Alarms: 24, Intent: com.jiubang.intent.action.ACTION_TIDY_DATA
Alarms: 2, Intent: com.jiubang.intent.action.AUTO_CHECK_UPDATE
**********Normal size dock icon**************
Thanks again for your great work!
I have an idea for a new feature: A CAR LAUNCHER !
A special folder with 6 big customizable shortcuts that can be launched from HOME button.
( see my example: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5936/carlauncher.jpg )
And some improvements ideas:
-Feature to set individual wallpaper/live wallpaper for each home screen.
-A way to remove label for customs folders on home screen.
-Configure number of lines for folder display.
-Allow to remove the empty space when the screen indicator is disabled.
Option to remove the HOME icon in the App Drawer. Transparent status bar would be nice but I don't think the Android OS allows it.
Jonasz – you can use Desktop Virtualizer from the market (it's free) and make that yourself very easily..
just as an example I did a WP7 style screen with go and DV..
here > http://gainn.co.uk/images/SC20111204-231542.jpeg
Hi… awesome launcher.
However it would be great if we could customise the size of the dock icons alone.
I like the idea of creating a page for the car dock. What if we could hide pages, that way, they won't show up when swiping through them. Then, we need a way to access them. Maybe, a direct page shortcut. I could then create a car dock page, maybe a page that has battery/system info widgets and then hide those and access them through a shortcut, ie, by assigning it to a gesture, dock bar item, home screen shortcut, etc. Heck, maybe even create one for when the device is locked and be able to tell go locker to use that page when locked?
Icon label showing in the folder is different for app drawer and home page. For folder in app drawer, the are 2 lines of label. For folder in home page, there is only 1 line of label.
Please make it 2 lines of label for home page folder too, thanks.
I have problem with big icons option. When enabled the application names looks like in the picture. I don't think that it is correct.
I love Go Launcher and I use it as my main launcher. Only issue I have with it is that when you open an app, the transition animation is a zoom. A nice feature to have would be to use default Android transitions for that particular function and have that under the effects tab. Alot of ROMs build these modes (Like the ICS transition or flying windows) and it would be nice for Go Launcher to support that. If you want an example of how it works, Launcher Pro and ADW use the "Use default Android anims" function.
I would like to see following improvements:
a) Flexible indicator position (top and bottom)
b) Custom transition times/delays (e.g. home screen app drawer)
c) Transparency slider for background of app drawer
d) Higher amount of dock icons (>5) for Galaxy Note
…more suggestions to come.
* Please remove the empty space when screen indicator is off.
@Dimitar – try going into.. preferences>visual settings>icons> and turn off 'Icon base'
+ Option to choose between zoom and fade effect when opening apps.
Otherwise, excellent launcher!
Hands down most feature-rich launcher
I would like to see optimization for speed improvements… Other than that its PerFeCT
Default dock icon size. Those small icon looks So old school and No one is using.
Highlight type – those square blocks looks horrible
Add the appdrawer highlight type, also glow the highlight color glows around the icon
Please black menu!
I have tried and still have the problem. Hope the dev will look into it.
Does it happen when you choose custom icon size as well as large?
I get that issue with folders (shows the default bg of the selected theme when using a custom image) but never with icons before.
+ options to disable the icons and leave the label on, for a simpler look
希望在程序 与 界面 加入层叠特效 感觉 好有人性化 使用咕咕噜噜特效时有毛刺感觉
when u choos 'big icons' the page indicator shows in the bottom and the space taken cant be used also if u hide it
In older versions you could long press folder in app drawer to edit. Newer versions do not have this option. Would like to see it put back in.
Wrong information in the market about the compatibilty. In Archos G8 tablets works fine.
Thx for this really cool launcher.
1. Option to set custom icons for folders
2. Option to use the whole screen in folder-view. Not only half of the screen. It wastes the space and you need to scroll where it would not be necessary.
3.Option to configure number of lines for folder display.
4. Option to scroll vertically in folder-view
5. Option to hide the home-button in the appdrawer
6. Remove the empty space when the screen indicator is disabled
Thank you very much!
I really appreciate the new feature for custom grid sizes in the app drawer. This is great, however I find an issue with implementation in the horizontal view. The app drawer, recent apps and running apps all have a different amount of screen real-estate associated to the icons, therefore setting the grid for the app drawer can cause appearance issues with the Recent and Running tabs. My request would be to allow the grid sizes to be changed independently for each of the three tabs. It is not a huge issue, but it does make for strange appearances.
For some reason custom icon size does not work with miui…. any chance you can fix this in future releases?:)
we need "quick" transition on "horizontal scroll efect" in App drawer
Pleeeease , remove the empty space when the screen indicator is disabled. It looks terrible
The dock icon remains small at the time of custom size with an icon. I ask to be able to customize the size of the dock icon.
I want to design program go launcher
E-mail to
I really would like to have my screenindicators just above the dock, instead of on the topside of the screen. Could you guys implement this option?
Hey dev team i have request the easy thing and your do not have make nothing…i have request one option for choose the indicator position in the home with big icon for choose if see the indicator on up of page or on down please in the next version add this option not is difficult.
Hey, guys! You're doing probably the best launcher and other stuff ever! Thank you! Looking very much forward to get your launcher on my Galaxy tab 10.1!!!
I've noticed that the shutter effect in the app. drawer lags when you work in the landscape. mode. Hope it can be fixed. Thanks!
staying on 2.65 until the screen indicator gets fixed, that empty space is HORRIBLE, also hate it at the bottom, want it back up top… otherwise this app is damn near perfect on every rom I've used so far… so much better than launcher pro (plus even) and adwEX…
and I would like to ditto these suggestions already made by other users:
+car launcher folder (six or nine) large icons
+Feature to set individual wallpaper/live wallpaper for each home screen.
+A way to remove label for customs folders on home screen.
+Configure number of lines for folder display.
+Allow to remove the empty space when the screen indicator is disabled.
When may we see a version that works on HoneyComb? Specifically I would like to install on my Acer Iconia A100
GO Launcher works fine on my Xperia Arc S but always when GO Launcher is activated, the Timescape Widget disapears and can not be installed to the homescreen.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and I have a problem with updating my go launcher: after having downloaded on my device the .apk file found here, each time I try to install it, it says: application NOT installed… I tried the older versions as well but neither of them worked… The market says: the application is not signed 'properly'…???
What should I do to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help!
If you create a direct call shortcut anywhere a small icon is created from a contact's photo or a default icon if used if there isn't one. If you change or add a photo to a contact the icon is not changed in the previous created direct call shortcut. EVEN IF YOU DELETE THE SHORTCUT and try to create it again the previous icon remains.
PLEASE fix this to automatically refresh the icon or add an option to refresh or rebuild the icon.
It would be great if you could add a direct video call shortcut also.
[...] Xpress Update 07/12 GoLauncher gibt's auch hier: GO Launcher | GO Ansonsten vielleicht mal einen neuen Thread aufmachen Sonst jemand mit Erfahrung zum Update [...]
Can you support tab resolution? ex: 1280*754 ?
I have updated the latest GO EX Laucher version and now I can not edit may screens. I can not delete or move any icon/widget from the screen and when I do the long press action a message "screen locked" appears in notification bar. When I opened the notification list the message is gone and I don't know how to edit/delete/add my icons and widgets from the screen. Also when I press the home button and all the screens show up, I don't have the possibility to add a new screen or to remove any screen.
Please let me know if I can workaround this problem and I think this should also be fixed by Dev team.
This was not a bug. I just found the Lock Screen configuration option and disable it. Now it works just fine.
Sorry, comments are closed.

I have been purchasing products from Mink Eye for some time but after I paid the last invoice over $1500.00 no tracking number was sent and even after numerous emails asking when my order would arrive no reply was ever given... I then googled and found this site and another girl who has had a similar experience to me.
I am writing this in hope that we stop Cindy from making any further rip offs to good hard working customers.

Aaron Levie, the chief executive of enterprise cloud storage provider Box, provided his view on this emerging industry, its consumer market origins, and current state. His firm focuses mainly on corporate clients, powering 82 percent of Fortune 500 companies according to Levie, but the consumer market has not been left astray from his agenda. Late last month Box partnered up with LG for a promotional deal available to anyone who logs into the service until the end of March from an Android-powered LG device. It's become a marketing tool for Box and its partners, as they revealed another promotional with HP today.
During the interview with PCMag, Levie provided some background about his company, which originally started off in 2005 with no distinctive appeal to the consumer or the enterprise market. Eventually Box shifted its focus to business customers in 2007 because the "consumer space tends to get commoditized pretty quickly by companies like Google or Microsoft or Apple," the CEO explained. This is still very much the case in light of the recent launch of iTunes Match, a new iCloud music locker service that hopes to gain the edge over the many other alternatives out there by eliminating the need to upload Gigabytes worth of music, or more to Apple's services. Instead it syncs with the iTunes library directly.
Levie went on to describe the shift within companies that changed from traditional means of collaboration to his company's offerings.
"Across all of these use cases, the pattern that emerged was people want to be able to share everywhere, they want to be able to work from anywhere, and they want to be able to do this for an extremely low cost. And we had a technology that allowed them to do it, so that's why we focused on the enterprise."
Levie lastly noted that he perceives Microsoft to be his company's biggest competitor. This is true in the enterprise space where SharePoint is very widely used, and increasingly so in the consumer space where it's promoting offerings such as the newly overhauled SkyDrive.
It's an important junction point for consumer and enterprise cloud, and as storage plays a bigger role in both of these sectors, Box must continue to strengthen its position to fend off the many angles being leveraged by today's cloud industry. The cloud is becoming many things to many people, and Box has always tried to remain a fluid influence that spans a number of industries for enterprise and consumer alike, two areas with diminishing difference when it comes to IT and the cloud.

We've heard so much annul a junior college In Abilene, now I'd like to know why do we need a Junior college when already have lhe three church schools? A. Two main reasons: There's no vocational technical Iraining now available in Abilene beyond the high school level (such as welding, data processing, licensed vocational nursing, electronics, building trades, office occupations, drafting, small appliance repair and mechanics) and these will be offered by the junior college. The other advantage ot a Jr. college is lhat tuition would be substantially lower than at the private colleges, and yet they actually would be attending classes in the Ihree senior colleges. The junior college studcnls would have to pay less, but the three existing colleges would be repaid by stale (unds for Ihc difference in Uiilion. Q.
