Positive Feedback
Tentation CD Player
as reviewed by Robert Learner
Since remaking my reference system over the last couple of years—new preamp, amp, and speakers—I've been surveying the digital playback landscape for the right piece. What I found reviewing the excellent Bel Canto 3.5VB DAC is that while I preferred it to the similarly priced Berkeley and Ayre QB-9 DACs, the differences were small.
This finding reinforced my belief that you build a system from the speakers—easy to tell competing models apart—backwards. Find speakers you like that work in your room. Then find the right amp to drive them, the preamp that mates well with it, then the digital source. From a value standpoint, I think roughly half of the cost of any system is best devoted to speakers, and there's decreasing value as you move toward the source.
Following this thinking, I began to look at DACs cheaper than the group I reviewed. But coincidence changed my trajectory. Within an hour of each other on the same day, a couple of audio buddies on different continents both told me I had to hear the EERA Tentation CD player. Ignoring the larger karmic picture, I balked. At $12,000, I thought it would be well past the peak of the value curve for digital playback, and likely a very marginal improvement at best over what I'd heard.
Further, I'm a longtime fat-ass streamer horrified by the idea of getting up to change the music. But in seeming collusion my friends stuck with it, insisting the Tentation was a must-hear. I like to think I'm stubborn but not stupid. The US distributor, Albert Von Schweikert, agreed to send me the player for review.
The Tentation sits at the top of the five CD player EERA line. The players are built by hand in France using domestic parts wherever possible. The designer, Didier De Luca, previously designed CD players under the Helios brand—he's been working on digital playback for a long time.
The player is attractive but unremarkable on the outside. No 'bank safe' gauge front panel, no ridiculously-overbuilt-because-that-might-help-it-sell casework. All fine, I'd rather the money go into the guts and performance anyway.
Inside is a heavily modified Philips CD mechanism dubbed the Gyropoint II. The spinner is both beefed up structurally with metal parts replacing some of the plastics, and the mechanism is damped at critical points. The claim is that this gets the bits off the disc more accurately.
As I was unable to get more information about the machine from the designer, the following is simply (and disappointingly) taken from the website. Class A output stages are used, and much attention has been paid to the power supplies. Nothing surprising here. The Delta-Sigma DAC is a 24 bits/192khz chip—I was able to play some 24/96 material on the player.
The back panel contains the usual suspects: a set of both single-ended and balanced outputs, and a coaxial digital output. Ergonomically, the player works as expected but for one quirk: hitting the pause button on the remote suspends play as expected, but hitting the play button does not resume it. You must hit pause again for playback. In effect, you push the dedicated play button to begin playback, but should you pause, the pause button becomes play/pause in functionality and the play button is rendered useless. Not a big deal, but odd.
A benchmark piece for me is the circa '04 Cary 303-200 CD player. LIke a Harley, it sounds bold, upfront and harmonically rich. The designers apparently missed the memo that audiophile stuff has to be creamy smooth and laid back. Let's not offend anybody with dynamic excitement. For me, the Cary cuts through the pudding.
Though various more contemporary DACs and CD players passing through my system surpass it in this or that parameter, few provide a more engaging listen. The recently reviewed Bel Canto 3.5VB DAC outpoints it, a touch cleaner and quieter, but it's a win by decision, not a KO. The Ayre QB-9 presents more space and delicacy, but doesn't quite match the Cary's balls-out drive. The Berkeley DAC surpasses all at presenting a 3D soundstage and delineating instruments, but lacks a sliver of flow and liquidity versus some of the others.
If the above sounds like splitting bits, well, I'd been finding that's what you have to do to differentiate top quality digital playback components that value fidelity to the source. The choice is a pinch of this or a dash of that, an Oregon vs. Washington State pinot. Then comes along the EERA Tentation, that sings, why choose?
Speed, flow, clarity—these strengths of the Tentation conspire to make other digital components I've heard sound as if the music meets slight resistance coming out of the speakers. With the Tentation, it's as if the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the song has been lowered. Net is a raise in edge-of-seat excitement.
Image density—digital can sound like the effect of expanding a 720 x 480 image over a 1920 x 1080 screen; stretched thin we feel we can see through the picture. Better digital components ameliorate this sense, but none to the extent of Tentation. The music pulsates with body in the air—this is part of what's meant by the term analog-like. Defined as such the Tentation is the most analog sounding digital player I've heard.
A gift from the unreliable remaster gods, the 30th Anniversary edition of Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle is a legitimate revelation. While I listened to ton of music through these players, I'll use it as the point of comparison among them.
Tentation vs. Berkeley DAC
The title track sounded both faster and with more foundation on the Tentation than the Berkeley. The mid-tempo, hypnotic "Wild Mountain Honey" revealed the speed advantage again, as well as the unparalleled image density of the EERA. The Berkeley did, however, have slightly more high frequency extension.
The consistent ease and flow of the Tentaton on these and other tracks revealed the Berkeley to sound a bit artificial and mechanical at times— in the vein of but to a lesser extent than my old Lexicon MC12B processor.
Tenation vs. Bel Canto
Fly Like an Eagle revealed the Tentation to exceed my prior transparency champ, the Bel Canto 3.5VB, in this parameter. It illustrated how transparency and speed are interrelated—a less obstructed path is a faster one.
When I first hit play on the Tentation, what struck was image density. What stuck with more listening was speed. But what this is last word in so far in my digital playback experience is transparency. Across the whole band. The listed 130dB S/N ratio is the highest I've seen in a digital player, and an accurate measure or not, it points to the ultra low noise/extreme clarity of the Tentation. I think there is something unique and special going on with the output stage.
Transparency and speed lend an upfront, exciting presentation reminiscent of my beloved Cary, but the Tentation takes those qualities further, and adds an image density, a muscularity to the music that makes it that much more palpable.
Let's face facts, switching from the original burn of Fly Like an Eagle to the remaster will yield a bigger jump in sound quality than switching among these digital players. That said, I did hear subtle though meaningful differences when comparing components, particularly when comparing the EERA to the others.
Let's face facts, the EERA Tentation is the best digital playback I've heard. Should be at its price and is. And yet we all know that 'should be' and the reality are often different things, particularly in the audio world.
So here's hoping the hype about the Gyropoint II transport system is just that. A bit-perfect rip should supply the 1s and 0s just the same, no? That way, the transport contributes nothing to the sound quality of the Tentation. That way, it's all up to the digital processing and the output section. That way, an EERA DAC, the product I want after all my digital go-rounds, will sound just as good.

DWV for Potable Water?
I had someone repair my 3" PVC water line and they installed a small piece of NS-DWV pipe. The line is holding pressure (35 psi), but I am wondering if DWV rated PVC poses any danger to drinking water? Can anyone tell me if there is any danger from chemicals leaching from the pipe?
I've never heard of a 3" water supply line. That would be serious overkill. Are you sure that's what you have??
Yes. I am sure and yes, it is overkill. I actually designed the water system, and I learned my lesson. Next time it won't be 3".
OK. Back to your original question, I don't believe DWV pipe is rated for pressure. No clue about leaching of chemicals. Why not simply replace it with PVC?
D rain
W aste
V ent
That's it not water supply under pressure.
No. no, no.
I would have it repaired right....dwv is not intened for pressure useage...reguardless if it harmful or not dosen't change that fact....replace it..:yes:
Thank You
Thank You. You have confirmed my thoughts. It is frustrating, because I didn't get what I asked for, and the temptation is to just let it go because it is holding pressure. But I know I am going to regret it if I do.
Was the "someone" who installed that stuff a licensed plumber? But even if they're not, call them back to do it right.
No. They are not licensed. I live out in the country and I am limited on local plumbing resources. They used the DWV pipe because it was readily available. One must drive 40 miles one way to find a supply of NW-PW 3" pipe. I have called them and they are coming next week to repair it correctly.
Typically water supply pipe is rated for potable use by NSF. DWV is typically NOT rated for potable use, both because of the pressure issue but also because NSF requires pipe that does not leach toxic chemicals. Best to use appropriately rated pipe for potable application. In three inch, you should be able to get NSF rate PVC or polyethylene, though how you came up with such a big service is still a bit murky to me.
The leaching of chemicals was my first concern and that is motivation enough to get this fixed right. However; after calling Charlotte Pipe and speaking with one of their engineers, I learned that DWV pipe will eventually fail even under nominal pressures if the edge of the foam core in the pipe segment is exposed to pressurized water (which it will be). The engineer advised that the DWV pipe is manufactured from the same material and therefore poses no safety hazard, but it is not manufactured to the same standard and therefore it will eventually fail. Moral of the story is "fix it right the first time" and verify that your hired help is working with the right pipe before you let them leave the job site.
I don't think you're going to find an answer to the potability of a DWV pipe, because as it's rated for DWV, there's no point in it being tested as an accepted or certified material for potable water piping.
That said, i'd probably tear it out and re-do it, and flatten the tires of the dork who did that to you.

How much exercise dose a german shepherd need a day!
my german shepherd is 7 months old I want to mack sure she gets the right amount of exercise.
Asked by

- This question is closed.
Best Answer
That really depends on the individual dog.
Some working line dogs need A LOT of exercise - a couple of walks and playing ball for a bit won't cut it. Others are more laid back and don't need anywhere near that amount of exercise. So the question is, how much exercise does YOUR German Shepherd need?
Good indicators that you need to "up" the exercise are pacing or whining in the house, being destructive, inappropriate or nuisance behaviors (chewing on things, tearing up the crate, chasing the cat, etc.), and the like.
As a good start, two leashed walks of 30 to 45 minutes a day, 5 to 10 minutes training here and there everyday, and about a half hour playing serious fetch in the yard would be a good amount of exercise.
DO avoid forced exercise (leashed running or bicycling) until she's at least 16 to 18 months old, to keep it easy on her joints. And no high and repetitive jumping until she's about that age, either.
Abby answered on Dec 3rd.
Other Answers
Lots! At only 7 months, nothing more than letting the dog run free on her own, lots of playtime, and daily walks. Her growth plates haven't settled yet, so it isn't recommended to do anything other than those things with her until this happens - usually around a year and a half. She does need daily exercise though - they are herding dogs so they need to have lots of activities that stimulate their brain. Best of luck with your GSD.

When I was handed the task of outfitting the kitchen and dining room of my wife Cindy's soon-to-be-award-winning new restaurant, finding the perfect cutting and charcuterie boards quickly became my odd obsession. I became fascinated by the beautiful simplicity of a solid wood board – how they feel, how they are held and how they wear. A flip was switched, and I started making boards myself…
A diverse collection of objects for the kitchen and dining room has emerged from years of prototyping and restaurant testing, created to inspire people to savour every detail when cooking, dining and sharing. Our food experiences inform the products we develop, be it a larger butcher block to work better while cooking for 12, or simply wanting a well built bread box to sit on our counter.
In early 2012, we sold the restaurant and created OnOurTable as a meeting point for those who share our common passions for food, design and craft – and here we are.
Our goal is to collaborate & create original, functional objects handcrafted to be used everyday and passed down for generations. Bon appétit!
8.1.2 XL Ring: Walnut - Designed by Geoffrey Lilge
Boards are finished with a natural oil / beeswax mixture and require periodic application of mineral oil (available at drug stores) or any cutting board oil available at kitchenware stores.
- Material: Solid Walnut
- Made in Canada
- Charcuterie style cutting board

The latest update to Google Maps (4.4) separates the popular "Places" feature from the main "Maps" app on your DROID, making it easy to quickly find nearby places, view business hours and place details, then navigate to each location via 3D maps, turn-by-turn voice directions, compass arrows, and even view live traffic details to avoid travel delays.
But is it a Yelp killer?
First, some truth-telling: Google Maps is the killer app on the Android platform. In one free app, you can see your current location via numerous overlays (satellite, roads, traffic, street view), then enter a destination address, and click "Navigate." Your phone is instantly transformed into an Internet-linked GPS navigation system, complete with voice guidance and turn-by-turn directions. Mount your DROID on your dashboard and you have the best GPS receiver on the market at your disposal. (Add a hands-free, Bluetooth microphone to the mix, and you can talk on the phone and navigate simultaneously without missing a beat.)
After downloading the latest Google Maps update from the Market, you'll notice a new icon nestled in your app listings – "Places."
The new app is tightly integrated into Google Maps, so resist the urge to be confused. (Many early reviewers were thrown for a loop with this change.)
Opening "Places," you'll immediately get the gist of what it offers. First, it locks your exact position using GPS. Next, it offers you seven large icons: "Restaurants," "Coffee," "Bars," "Hotels," "Attractions," "ATMs," and "Gas Stations." Clicking "Add" allows you to customize this home screen to add additional destination types; a search bar at the top invites you to "Find Places."
Selecting any of these options gives you instant results on what's nearby. Easily see each destination on a map, place a call to the location, get detailed directions, and see the business via "Street View."In one fell swoop, Places takes its place as the most robust, detail-rich app for learning all you ever wanted to know about local destinations near your exact location. So the next time you're heading out the door for a business trip or a night on the town with your friends or significant other, you'll never be without something to do or a place to go.
Thanks, Google. Places is a welcome addition to the insanely great Google Maps family of functionality.
And yes, folks, it's a Yelp killer. For me, anyway.

how best would you revise these scars which are on my face these they are causing me severe distress what would be needed to sort them out. The one near my right eye is sunken , and the one on my left cheek is hypertrophic , I did not receive adequate healthcare at the time of the trauma and my wounds were not properly stitched up by the nurse. Bearing in mind the location of the scars - face , I would be most grateful if you could help me out.
How Best Would You Revise These Scars? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Fixing facial scars that are deep and wide
These widened and depressed scars will require surgical excision and layered surgical closure to recontour the skin.
Web reference: http://www.surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/38/scar-revision.aspx
Scar revision
These are tough scars to get a great result on but they can be improved. They are running againt the natural lines of the face. I would do a primary revision to see how well the scar heals with proper tension less closure. You can then smooth it out with dermabrasion or laser and steroid injections.
If there is no significant improvement with just the scar revision then I would do a W or Z plasty on selective areas.

TH 350 Reverse Manual Valve-body Questions
I am new to this, but here it goes. I bought a Th350 Mega Monster S/S tranny from Monster trans and performance about 3 years ago. Now I know that this isn't the norm for this site but the tranny is a 4x4 version and it is in a Jeep Wrangler with a SB 350 in it mated to a NP205 t-case, but i don't think it should make much difference because it is related to the inner workings of a th350 which would probably benefit everyone who had these questions but never could find the answers, like me. Anyways, I bought the trans, installed it and decided to redo the front suspension completely. During the 8 month period of redoing the front suspension the warranty on the trans. had expired. After the Jeep was roadworthy, I took it for a couple of runs and everything was working great, tranny shifted firm, no slip when you got on it. Just when I thought that everything was good to go, I took my buddy for a ride. To make a long story short, shifted from first to second at about 5500 rpms, the tranny made noises that I didn't want to hear. I was able to limp the rig home. Dropped the pan and saw the carnage. The pan had random pieces of metal from very fine shavings to pieces of what appears to the the cage for one of the sprag clutches. Called Monster Trans and talked to the about it and explained that yes i have have the tranny for a long time but it probably only had 25 miles on it and that when you pay $2000.00 dollars for a trans you would expect it to last a little longer than it did. They wouldn't honor the warranty at all which is understandable due to the length of time that i had the tranny. When I had ordered the tranny, I ordered it with a full reverse manual valve body and they did some "custom tuning" to accommodate for possible forced induction sometime in the future. Instead of shipping it back to them and letting them take some more of my money I just plan to rebuild it myself
. My questions are as follows:
1. Are all reverse manual valve-bodies the basically the same?
2. When you have a reverse manual valve-body will all the shift reprogram kits work with them or do you have to order specific ones?
3. Is there a Parts breakdown out there with valid PN's if i need a small bushing or something of that nature that might now come with a rebuild kit?
4. The Jeep has 38.5" super swamper boggers on it with a spooled 14-bolt so therefore the tires do not "chirp" when I shift high it the rpms. I am pretty sure that they either completely removed the 1-2 accumulator or screwed with the valve-body enough that it probably does not serve a purpose any more. How do I go about fixing that issue? Will the trans-go 1-2 kit come with what I need or do i need to find a donor trans and take parts out of that?
4. I have heard rumors that once you loose a tranny like I did, you need to replace the torque converter, don't bother trying to get a tranny shop to clean it out, but to actually throw it out and buy a new one. I don't have a problem getting a new one but i just want to make sure that I am not getting rid of a perfectly good $350.00 converter if it could be cleaned out. Is this true?
I know that this is a lot to take in but i was just trying to give everyone the history of what happened and trying to be as through as possible. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I would just feed him canned cat food until you can get to the vet or else if you normally feed dry kibble, just take some of it and soak it in warm (not hot) water until it is soft.
Allie answered on 2/14/10. Helpful? / 0
Allie's right, I'd keep him on the same food he's used to but make sure it is soft. Adding canned food to warm water and mushing it up to a soup will make it really easy to eat. If he's on dry food you can soak it in hot water and but it with the water into a blender/liquidiser to also make it into a soup.

A friend of mine recently installed a new, greater capacity power supply into his computer and when powering it up, found that the new power supply had blown all four of his hard drives. When he contacted a vendor regarding data recovery, they commented that WD drives, unlike Seagate's drives, are not shielded from this type of mishap with a metal shield, but instead use a foam divider that melts but provides no protection for the drive circuitry. Needless to say, the foam divider on all four of his drives was indeed melted.
Is it possible to place a shield/protector on the drive to protect from such an occurrence? With more and more larger capacity power supplies, this will become a greater possibiltiy.
This vendor is full of it. They sold your friend a defective supply and should be buying him new drives.
Are the WD NAS Red drives shielded from magnetic interferance?
I have the 2gb Red NAS drive in a Synology enclosure and is is sitting on top of a Bose sub woofer for my surround system.Is the NAS drive shielded?If it is not shielded what precautions should I take? Is there a way to shield it?
I am also finding out if the Bose sub woofer is shielded.
Just want to protect my data.
I've seen plenty of teardowns of drives from Seagate, WD and HGST and they all use a foam pad to isolate the PCB from the metal case.
The only drives that actually shielded the PCB was Seagate many moons ago with their Seashell on the barracuda drives.
I still have one, PATA 80GB.
Unless a thermal pad was used to cover the chip it would reduce flow and thus increase heat.
A cover is not going to help with a voltage spike, only handing of the drive and ESD.

As any celebrity – and certain governments and law firms – will tell you, there are risks as well as benefits in being connected to publicly accessible networks. Individuals and collectives such as Wikileaks, Anonymous and LulzSec have embarrassed the US government, the law firm ACS:Law, and now Scarlett Johannson and Jessica Alba by exposing their private, err, "data" online for public consumption.
This is not a new phenomenon, but still far few of us take data theft and cyber (or "digital", if the word "cyber" scares you) threats seriously. Perhaps it's because we don't really understand them. Hacks happen for different reasons – which is perhaps the best insight into how to prevent them in the first place – different targets experience different damages, and different victims have different tools at their disposal to try to fix what has gone wrong. For example, secretions of government data are often carried out in the name (or at least under the pretense) of civil rights and accountability; disclosures of usernames and passwords, credit card details, and private photos, on the other hand, are often carried out opportunistically to humble a giant or for no more than purient voyeurism.
The US government has responded to Wikileaks in its own way, but actions by celebrities usually follow a different, and by now predictable, routine:
- Celebrity has something, be it a voice mail or a photograph or video, on a device that is connected, at least some of the time, to a network which can be accessed by the general public;
- Member of the public uses his or her knowledge of IT systems and of the celebrity to access that device and to copy the private data. In some cases (e.g. the News of The World phone "hacking" scandal), all that is required is for the "hacker" to punch in a default passcode to access the device's secrets. Other times, an educated guess at how to answer the security questions (date of birth, ZIP code, where you met your spouse) will be enough, as was the case when Sarah Palin's Yahoo! email was hacked;
- Celebrity finds out about the hack after it has gone public, and their lawyers write cease and desist letters to everyone involved, alleging that the data in question was obtained in breach of privacy or confidence and that the celebrity owns the copyright in the work.
The strategy has worked as well as can be expected for individuals. (It's a non-starter for the US Government since it cannot assert copyright in its own works.) Most websites take the materials down without much argument as they don't want to fall foul of the DMCA in the USA (see 17 U.S.C. §512 especially) or the E-Commerce Directive in Europe (see Article 14 especially), which could leave the site's owners liable for damages awards that would easily bankrupt them. Of course, the fact that you'd never be able to trace a bank account for many other of these websites, even if you could assert jurisdiction over their owners, is the same whether you allege copyright infringement or some other tort.
But aside from that, I wonder has anyone ever ignored these cease and desist letters and got so far as to argue in front of a Judge either: that an image whose photographer simply pointed the camera at some part of their anatomy and pressed a button lacks sufficient originality to warrant copyright protection; or that there is a fair use defense? The damage to any person's privacy would weight heavily against the alleged "fairness" of any use of private pictures or videos, but I wonder has it ever been argued? Maybe only pro se? If the copyright argument was no longer considered watertight, would we see celebrities forum shopping throughout the US, to take advantage of the most generous unpreempted State law of privacy and widest injunctions against ISPs? It'd be interesting to find out.
Of course, no-one wants to spend their life worrying about what might (but most likely won't) happen to our personal information, but even the following basic measures will put you in far better stead if someone does want to hack you.
- First, if you really cannot do without keeping something secret on a device connected to the Internet, use your own passwords and not the factory defaults;
- Second, use wrong answers for your "forgotten password" answers. Anything from misspellings to opposites might be just enough to frustrate the hacker or, after enough wrong answers, to prompt your service provider to temporarily block access to your account;
- Third, move sensitive material off connected devices whenever possible;
- Fourth, don't use the same password for connected accounts. For example, if a hacker accesses your LinkedIn account and finds links to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, you can guarantee they'll try them, starting with the password they just used to access your LinkedIn account. So you'll end up being hacked three times instead of just once; and
- Fifth, remember – if it's easy for you, it makes it easier for the hacker.
The bottom line is prevention is better than damages, since even the finest legal remedies can't put every cat back in the bag and force everyone to forget about what they have read or seen. Much better to take practical steps to avoid being in this position in the first place, than to have to remain "unavailable for comment" until the whole episode blows over. Mind you, "no comment" would have been a better response than the one Rep. Anthony Weiner hastily adopted earlier this year. He didn't even need a hacker to expose himself all over the Internet (he sent a public instead of a private tweet), and lying about it afterwards cost him his job, and has now cost the Democrats a previously safe seat. He doesn't tweet anymore (at least, not publicly).

Hi all! I am just curious how many people here operate boilers, versus warm/hot air furnaces, and stoves. And more importantly, the rate they fire at. I run a coal/wood Burnham SFB101 (85,000btu's hour gross output). Past experience is mostly with wood...but I am looking to use coal primarily in the future.
(any input/guidance from moderators would greatly be apreciated)

Australia Must Uphold Loan Standards to Avoid House Price Bubble, RBA Says
Australian banks must maintain lending standards to prevent a surge in house prices that is being stoked by faster population growth from turning into a bubble, a central bank official said.
"It will be important for lenders to remain prudent in their standards," Luci Ellis, head of financial stability at the Reserve Bank of Australia, said in Sydney today. "It will be equally important for prospective borrowers to have realistic expectations, and not to rely on a hoped-for capital gain in order to service their debts."
Prices in Australia's A$4 trillion ($3.5 trillion) property market, which accounts for around 60 percent of household assets, grew 20 percent in the 12 months through March, prompting some analysts to warn of a bubble. The gains, which Ellis said were driven by higher population growth and slower dwelling supply, are among reasons Governor Glenn Stevens has led Group of 20 policy makers in boosting borrowing costs.
"We do not have a credit-fueled speculative bubble on our hands," Ellis told the 2010 Financial Review Residential Property Conference today. "It would not be desirable for the current situation to turn into one."
"The nature of the demand shock Australia faces means that it would be helpful if more of that demand could be accommodated with extra homes for occupation, instead of by higher prices," she said.
Dwelling prices climbed last year after the central bank slashed the benchmark interest rate to a half-century low of 3 percent and the government temporarily tripled grants to first- time buyers of newly built dwellings to A$21,000.
'Quite Quickly'
"Housing prices have been rising quite quickly of late," said Ellis. "A number of factors have been boosting housing demand, and supply has struggled to keep pace."
Population growth is now "running noticeably faster than growth in the dwelling stock," she said.
Foreign buyers of Australian bank bonds are increasingly concerned a bubble is developing in the nation's property market, according to Fitch Ratings.
Offshore investors have been asking whether there's "an asset bubble forming in the housing market," John Miles, a senior director at Fitch, said at a conference organized by the ratings firm in Sydney today. "If the investors perceive there is, then that could be a problem."
Since early October, Stevens has increased the benchmark rate by 150 basis points to 4.5 percent this month, moves that the central bank described in the minutes of its May 4 meeting released today as "prudent."
'Well Placed'
They also mean Australia's monetary policy is "well placed for the present," the minutes said. There are signs that the adjustments are "beginning to affect behavior" of consumers and home buyers, officials said.
Retail sales growth almost stagnated in the first quarter, and approvals for new home loans have fallen 16 percent in March from their peak late last year, recent reports show. Housing credit growth at 8.5 percent over the year through March "is not running away," Ellis said.
"We have been carefully watching lending standards in the first-home buyer market," she said today. "As far as the data allow us to tell, recent new loans to first-home buyers look quite like those made to previous cohorts of first-home buyers.
"Indeed, across the mortgage market as a whole, lending standards are a little tighter than they were a couple of years ago," she said.
Unlike earlier periods of rising dwelling prices, during which credit conditions "played a bigger role" in boosting demand, "in the current episode, by contrast, more of the extra demand is likely taking the form of demand for more dwellings, precisely because of the extra population growth," Ellis said.

It's that time of the month again, which means Sony is turning off the power to the majority of the servers that power the PlayStation Network and related services for a feew hours of maintenance. This also means that if you want to secure your spot online during the maintenance period, you will either have to be signed in (or signed in recently) or just luck out if you haven't. Maintenance is scheduled to take place between 9 AM and 4 PM, both times being PDT. For those in other timezones, that translates into 12 to 7 PM in Eastern, 11 AM to 6 PM in Central and 10 AM to 5 AM in Mountain.
If 7 hours of possible downtime does not phase you at all, then more power to you. While maintenance has only been confirmed for the US, it won't make much of a surprise if the rest of the world joins to suffer through it all.

AdWords, ECJ, Europe, false advertising, Google, Internet, trade marks, trademarks, unfair business practices
While the Wall Street Journal (initially, at any rate) declared outright victory for Google's AdWords service after the Court of Justice of the European Union ("ECJ" or "CJEU") ruled that the sale of keywords to advertisers did not constitute "use" of those keywords within the meaning of the Trade Marks Directive (89/104/EEC), most of us were more cautious from the outset.
For my own part, I wrote in the World Trademark Review that:
"The ECJ specifically refers to the possibility of liability under alternative rules of law"
and in a later piece for the New York State Bar Association Section on IP wrote that:
"The CJEU's exoneration of Google is limited to certain provisions of the Trademarks [sic] Directive. The court expressly acknowledged that other causes of action, such as unfair competition and passing off, could be viable [paras 57 and 107]." (footnotes omitted)
So it's no surprise to now find a judgment addressing Google's potential liability under non-registered trade mark theories. Perhaps it's even less of a surprise to see that the judgment comes from Paris.
In Cobrason vs. Google, Inc, Google France & Home Ciné Solutions, the Parisian Cour d'Appel has upheld a 2008 decision of the Tribunal de Commerce that Google, Inc is liable for unfair competition, misleading advertising and illegal comparative advertising after a client, Home Ciné Solutions, purchased AdWord keywords corresponding to its direct competitor "Cobrason". Google was found to have provided a technological contribution to Home Ciné's infringing acts, in particular in relation to the confusion caused by the ads, which also contained the words "pourquoi payer plus cher?" ("why pay more?"). There is a brief summary of the decision on ip-talk.eu and a more thorough discussion, including of the finding of web users' automatic confusion, on Dreyfus.fr (both in English).
Nathalie Dreyfus' article is interesting since she argues that this judgment goes against the ECJ's ruling in Google France vs. LVMH. I do not see it that way, since it was not decided under the provisions of the Trade Marks Directive but under alternate theories contained in the French civil code. I do, however, agree that it is very surprising that there is not a single reference to the safe harbours of the E-Commerce Directive.
I would be surprised if Google doesn't appeal this decision, even though its fine was only EUR100,000 and it may prefer to avoid a bad precedent. In doing so, Google is likely to argue that its participation in any civil wrong of Home Ciné Solutions constitutes only "acts of a neutral intermediary service provider" that are of a "mere technical, automatic and passive nature", so that they should benefit from the exemption of Article 14 of the E-Commerce Directive.
If anyone knows why the E-Commerce Directive was not raised, I'd be grateful to receive your insights!
I will post any further information as it becomes available.

Scotland shinty boss Drew McNeil hailed his brave heroes last night as the Scots defeated Ireland's hurlers 22-21 in front of 40,000 fans at Croke Park. It was a brilliant result and gives the Scots a cushion, albeit a slender one, for the return leg in Inverness on 13 November.
Few would have predicted the Scots would win at the spiritual home of Irish hurling but McNeil insisted he always had belief.
"We didn't quite get the ball down in the first half the way we wanted and I was surprised how physical Ireland were in that period. We got ourselves into a good lead and I was a little disappointed not to win by more but any result here is excellent."
McNeil opted for a line-up replete with big hitters like international warhorse Norman Campbell, Duncan Rodger and Gary Innes. The Scotland coach had signalled his intent to quash the Irish with a policy of surface-only shinty which their hurling counterparts find difficult to combat.
Nevertheless, it was the Irish aerial game that prevailed in the opening minutes, with the home nation racing into a 7-0 lead after only five minutes.
Neil McManus battered an early point over the uprights from a distance before Shane Dooley - the scourge of the Scots last year in Inverness - struck a three-point goal past Stuart MacKintosh. When Dooley coolly added another point, McNeil must have been concerned the Irish would engulf Scotland.
Thankfully, it didn't turn out that way and Scotland were to head into the dressing room 13-11 to the good after taking control of the half. Fort William's Niall Macphee calmed nerves with a single point strike before Ronald Ross (2 points) and John MacDonald (2 points) ate into the Irish lead. Two three-point goals from Gary Innes and Finlay MacRae plus singles from Lochaber's Sean Nicolson and MacRae knocked the stuffing from the Irish and, although talisman Dooley managed a further six points with his hurley, it was advantage Scotland.
In the second half, it was Ireland trying to force a draw right until the end. Scotland's strikes came from Ross (4) and Innes (4). Ireland pressed through Dooley (2), John Rowney, McManus (2), Patrick Horgan (4) and Barry McFall, but Scotland held on.

Are You Tired of All the Political Correctness? [POLL]
Jim was discussing the latest story of political correctness this morning where more words are being taken out of our daily conversation.
According to Fox News, the city of Seattle is banning possibly offensive words such as "brown bag" and "citizen." The terms will no longer be allowed to be used in official documents and discussions.
Instead of "citizens," officials are urged to use the word "residents." And to replace the term "brown bag," the memo to city employees suggested terms like "lunch-and-learn," or "sack lunch."
Is it time we stop all this tip-towing around with the fear of offending any one person or group?
Take Jim's poll below and let us know if the politically correctness needs to end.

Pauls Jonass has been racing in the world of motocross for well over a decade. In his home country of Latvia, and throughout the Baltic states, he quickly became a dominant presence in each class he entered, rarely recording a finish off the top spot of the podium.
Jonass scored a significant victory when he brought home the 2011 FIM 85cc Junior World Championship title. Then there was his impressive run in the German ADAC Junior Cup, where – bar his debut run of the season where he finished second – he won every single moto!
In 2012, he moved up into the 125cc class and immediately demonstrated that he had the skills, experience and determination to succeed there. That July, he swiftly took second place at the EMX 125cc in Uddevalla, Sweden, and the following month took a third place finish place at the FIM Junior MX World Championship in Sevlievo, Bulgaria.
In 2013, Jonass, then riding for the Wilvo Nestaan JM Racing KTM Team, became the FIM 125cc Junior Motocross World Champion. The following year, KTM Racing signed Jonass as a factory rider for a five-year period from 2015 to the end of the 2019 season.Read more

It's Tuesday everyone and I thought I would share my LOVE for ice skating with you. Not sure if you knew this already but Melly Mel LOVES to ice skate. For real, we grew up roller skating FIRST. You know when your mom would drop you and girlfriends off at the Roller Rink and you would "hope" the cute boys would be there. You would get your skates on and get out there on the floor and try NOT to make a fool of yourself. Then when the slow songs came on, and the girls were corralled out onto the floor, while a boy would "pick" you. WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT? Who EVER thought this was okay? For real, being the girl who NEVER got picked and standing there ALONE while everyone skated away hand in hand is not my idea of fun.
All I have to say is "PLUMP GRADE SCHOOL MEL" HATERS - SUCK IT NOW - I be working on my fitness... BAH!
Sorry about my little rant there.... onto better things... So I learned to roller skate first and then I moved on up to ice skating. Once again the same scenario MINUS the total embarrassment of being a NON-PICKED. Ice skating is a blast - using all those muscles, balancing, and watching people wipe-out - who wouldn't call that a "GOOD TIME"?
So Saturday night, my brother and I took Elle and my nephew ice skating - it was Elle's first time. I LOVE the outdoor rinks - so we chose Steinberg. It is absolutely beautiful there in the dark, with all the lights.
We get in line to get skates and the guy pulls out some old brown beat up things for Elle - she lays on the ground and proceeds to say "I will not skate in that crud". Really girl? My skates were all gray and cute. So of course being the awesome mom I am - I march back up there and ask for gray one's - which they HAVE and Elle is then "okay" to skate. I would PROBABLY NOT be okay with her actions - but I don't think I would of worn those hideous skates either ~ wonder where she gets her "tude"?
The kids get all bundled and laced up.
And we stop for one photo, while the Zamboni cleans the ice. For real, on my bucket list is "Will drive a Zamboni before I die". I want to drive one so bad - anyone want to help me out?
I loved getting back out there - it was like I never had stopped. Elle did AHHHHmazing... She is fearless and doesn't give up. NOW.. she wanted to take breaks, get hot chocolate, watch the people, pee 7 times, etc... BUT she kept getting back out there and GOING... That's my GIRL - we DO NOT GIVE UP! Not for anything or anyone...
I love this child with my ENTIRE being.. I felt bad Wes couldn't go - but he would of been like an elf out there getting trampled - we will save his first ice skating experience for another time.
We had a great time and I "think" I might start skating at least twice a month and Elle is most likely going to take lessons - she was quite good for her 1st time - we will see... and I LOVE my brother and had a great time with him.
Some more pics from the evening - of course I had Mexican before... hahaha... Queso anyone?
Ice skating fan? Roller skate hell? My brother is single ladies...?

Ripoff Report
Joe CurtonePO Box 1482 Arcadia Arcadia, Florida USA
Joe Curtone 6th Planet Auto Parts (Previously known as Zformations) He's been a lying thief for nearly 2 decades Arcadia Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In April 1997, I took my 300ZX Turbo from Naples, FL to Joe Cutrone's shop in Jupiter, FL for a complete rebuild. If memory serves, the deal we worked out was that I would send montly installments of $1K to him (for a total of $12,500) and I would get every performance part known to mankind put under the hood of my 300. We're talking an upgraded turbo, computer, injectors, intercooler, camshafts, crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods etc etc etc. If they made it, I was going to get it.
As the $ was to be sent in incriments, the work was also to be performed in increments. Joe was not to buy parts or do work I had not yet paid for.
After shelling out over $4K over the next couple months, I had a bad month that summer and was unable to send a check. Joe IMMEDIATELY called his lawyer and started lein proceedings against my car, screaming at me on the phone about how "we had a contract". In order to have the lein removed, I had to "catch up" on my payments AND pay his lawyer $500.
Right around Christmas that year, I was down to owing my last $2K and I told Joe I was going to bring it in person and wanted to schedule a time to see the progress he had made on the car. He balked at the idea and wouldn't give me a date when it was convenient to come by. So, I didn't send the check. I followed up with him repeatedly until, finally, I receved ANOTHER lein notice in the mail against my car for "non-payment".
This time, I got my own attorney. The lien was removed and negotiations began for a "settlement" of my claim. Settlement? I wanted my dxmn car finished! I had forked out $10K!
I was permitted to go see my car (via some agreement between the lawyers) and was shocked to find that my car had been turned into the lot queen for parts. My wheels were missing, t-tops and various other parts had been stripped off and either sold or given to other people. Joe offered to put the car back together and drop a used engine in it as a settlement...to which I declined. Keep in mind, during the time he was stripping my car, he was slapping me with lein notices for failure to pay for work he wasn't doing.
Ultimately, the place went bankrupt and I didn't get a dime. Nor did I get my car back. I'm sure Joe used the remaining parts off my Z to keep his axx afloat for another month or two.
I'd like to point out that, at the time, I was delivering pizzas and valeting cars to earn my living. Do you have any idea how many pizzas you have to deliver to save up $10K? Alot. Joe Cutrone robbed me of every penny.
This man does not deserve your trust or your money.

Affordable broadband for South Africa
MONTEVIDEO (LC for APCNews) - Women in
Africa may be accessing the internet, but are they getting the
information they need? Whether they are students, members of civil
society, leaders of indigenous communities or women and youth affected
by HIV/AIDS, patents and copyrights are making it increasingly
difficult for women in Africa to access the information they
need. This edition of Gender Centred, a periodic bulletin
produced by APC's programme for the GenderIT.org policy site, focuses
on the challenges copyright and the lack of information exchange bring
to those who need it most, and explores the different issues
surrounding open source software, copyright and rights to information. More >>
MONTEVIDEO (LC for APCNews) - In the past
decade, a new type of environmental threat has begun to appear on the
radar: e-waste. Well-intentioned citizens from Europe and North America
have been happily handing over their used electronic goods to be
recycled or resold; however, these items often end up in electronic
landfills, such as the one featured in this short CNN
documentary. Organisations like APC member Computer Aid International
work to help quality and functional second-hand electronics make their
way to schools and IT training centres in emerging economies, like the
Iya Abubakar Resource Center in Nigeria. CNN's Christian
Purefoy explores the growing problem of e-waste and how organisations
like Computer Aid are taking this "waste" and helping empower students,
businessmen and women in the countries most affected by e-waste. More >>

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The Borg are one of the most popular antagonists from the Star Trek franchise and appear in several of the Star Trek games. Their most direct role so far has been in the crappy FMV game Star Trek: Borg, although a cancelled game, Star Trek: Borg Assimilator, would have featured the player in control of the villainous race in the form of an RTS, tasked with conquering the Alpha Quadrent. Players who bought a lifetime subscription to the MMORPG Star Trek Online were given the ability to play a character who was a former Borg drone liberated from the Collective.In proper film and television Star Trek canon, the origin of the Borg is unknown. According to the wildly unpopular first Star Trek film, V'ger (one of the Voyager probes launched into space in our time) eventually travels through a black hole, comes to a planet inhabited by a machine-race, is refitted and improved, and better sent out to complete its mission. That simplistic mission being: to acquire what information it can from its journey, which it has, and then to relay that information back to its creator, which it has failed to understand is mankind. For years, Trek writers joked that this machine planet was the Borg homeworld, although this was never canon.In the video game Star Trek: Legacy, the story of V'ger is used as a basis for the Borg's origin. The game explains that V'ger, unable to find out who its Creator could be, then regarded carbon-based life forms as an infestation of the Creator's universe. It then sets out to 'assimilate' all organic life, making it as much like itself and (it assumed) its Creator as possible in order to better suit the Creator's will.The behaviour of the Borg involves methodical, almost binary routines of maintenance, assimilation and sleep. Former humanoids, their ultimate goal is to assimilate other humanoids into their massive Collective hivemind. They accomplish this by purposefully walking, taking physical hold of their victims and forcefully injecting "nanoprobes" into their bloodstream via sharp tubules that protrude from their arms. In a matter of seconds, the victim succumbs and is essentially a Borg. They do not speak or think individually, but only as a whole. When infected, consciousness becomes linked with the Borg collective. Upon meeting their victims, they preface their intrusion over communications by saying, "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." This is not a threat, nor a warning, it is a suggestion not to waste energy or resources that could be used to serve the Borg.Outside of the assimilating tubules in their arm, the Borg have no weapons on their person; likely because their ultimate goal is to assimilate and not destroy. However, they do have a very sophisticated form of shielding. After being struck only a few times by energy weapons fire , the Borg are able to adjust their shield modulation to match the phaser beam, rendering it useless. In order to penetrate this defence, phasers must repeatedly be set to a different modulation. The videogame Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force introduced a weapon called the Infinity Modulator, I-Mod for short, that was constantly and randomly modulating the energy output of its beam, making it impossible for the Borg to adapt. Given the simplicity of the idea, it is astonishing that no one has ever come up with it in Star Trek canon. The Borg travel in enormous cube-shaped vessels. Their organization is methodical and can be compared to that of a bee or ant-hive, with an ultimate Queen and many workers.
