Ultimate home theater rooooom ..NEED UR HELP NOW! :)
As a few of you migh know by one of my last thread,
i am currently completing my new house plans.
I have a special place in wich i will construct my home theater room, wich will be of maximum 30' by 20'
with a height of 9' maximum.
I am building my house with ICF ( isolated concrete forms ) So i have the possibility of making all the walls and ceiling out of polyestyrene foam on a concrete back,
wich would isolate almost completly this room from the rest of the house ( it will help with the bass alot i presume )
Since i didn't wanna hear about Surround setup, for the last year i had planned on going for a ultimate stereo setup in this room ..as i didn't understand the benefits of the surround setups . But as i read and was directed to information from kind users of this community,
i now what to make this happen as a surround system.
Now that is where i will need you help !!
I need to know what to do, and how to do it ...since i have seriously limited experience and konwledge about room accoustics and it's implications with surround sound.
I have no compromise for looks as i dealt this room with my wife for other stuff she wanted ...
so it can look very ugly but sound perfect and i won't care at all .
What i have planned is to use multiple 15 or 18" woofers in the front in concrete cavities for the sub bass section ..and alot of high quality drivers for all the rest of the system . but i do not want to discuss specific drivers for now ..what i need to know is how all this works to get the magic out of the surround sound.
So lets attack surround sound ...
is 5.1 enough ? do i need to setup for 6.1?
I guess that all drivers need to be timbre matched
( i will probably use the smae drivers all around neway)
Do we want to absorb as much sound as possible through the walls to limit all possible reflections and leave only the direct sound hit us ?
How do i calculate and achieve the required dispersion for all the seats in the room ? ( probably 6 or 8 places in 2 rows )i'll probably be using dome tweets and cones
for mids ...
should i limit the quantity of drivers as much as possible to get better imaging , or use line arrays to get as much volume as possible ?
And i can make the room of almost any configuration ,
angled walls ( porbably rear and 1 side ) or even rounded , i can include angles so that the front drivers are reflected back when hitting the side walls ..
Neway i'll let you all knowledgeable users tell me what we are looking for when designing such room
thanks all for your time

Ok, If you have the oportunity to start from scratch, I would suggest that you mount all the boxes flat into the wall, use a dampening material on that wall so that early reflections are minimised.
Mounting the speaker flat in the wall is the basis of THX in the cinemas, It allows the speaker to work as a piston and with the air is controlled, no need for baffle step compensation and allows a far more acurite wave to be created, than possible from a regular box.
A large sealed inclosure will sound better than bass reflex in this mounting. The flat baffle wall will boost the lowest frequencies. So bass reflex designs would sound very boomy and usually need to be cut back by eq.
As you are constructing your options for breaking up the sound on the rest of the walls is up to you, curtains like in cinemas, 3d patterns with the brickwork would all help, or some movable fiberglass baffles on frames can do the job very well.
I would also suggest 15"duel concentric speakers like tannoy or altec (the very best that I have heard) others make cheaper options such as p.audio and eminence ect. The single point sourse does sound far more natural than conventional split designs from my experience.
As for the suround channel, the more speakers the better, 8 ideally or 4 would be good, bi polar designs should be considered, frequency range is 100hz to 7,000. 4 inch full range speakers can cover this range very very well. Speakers start 2/3 down the side walls and behind on the back walls for best seperation.
Ive designed and custom built several large cinema speaker systems over the years and this is what I would do for my own pleasure in your place.
Good luck on whatever style of system you choose, and on the rest of the house.

Surround channels in DD/DTS and newer are all descrete and full range, they were only bandwidth limited in Prologic

um no there not, What do you think 5.1 means? Six channels or 5 channels? or 5 channels with one split @ 100 hz to equal 6, Now if thats the Left surround thats split, do you think the sound mixer is going to put deep bass on the right surround only ? or put the deep bass for both the surround channel into LFE channel which has a stack of 18" speakers on stage mounted into a Baffle Wall?
Cinemas and Mixing suites set up to either DOLBY or THX standards use an academy curve on the surround chanel. ie 3 db roll off from 2K to create a more defused and less directional effect with the multiple speakers.
So if you want to have a surround effect like the way the movie was mixed and was intended to sound like, um my suggestion was fine and a bit cheaper than what a salesman would try to sell you.

Calm down mate
What you're saying may be true for cinema installations, but home theatre systems are different.
Taken straight from the Dolby Website...
"* The sound information contained in each of the six available channels is distinct and independent. These six channels are described as a "5.1-channel" system, because there are five full-bandwidth channels with 3 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range for Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround, plus one "Low Frequency Effects" (LFE) subwoofer channel devoted to frequencies from 3 to 120 Hz"
If you done believe me (or Dolby ) try setting your system up so it doesn't redirect bass from the 5 main channels to the sub and play Saving Private Ryan at reference level. Then watch as your 4 inch full range surrounds fire their cones across the room

Ok so why suggesting bipolar units ?
What do we want to achieve with the side and rear speakers ? do we want point source or a lot of reflections ? ( cause my guess is that bipolar will induce alot of reflections ? )
do i set everything up so that all the loudspeakers send direct waves to the listeners, or are the requierements
for th side and rear different from the front ?
Then explain why concentric 15" ??
for surround..more would be better...
do you mean more drivers per loudspeaker or more lousdpeakers ???
my question on the size of the source is more toward..
should i consider using alot of drivers in arrays or to use as less as possible to get more location from all the drivers ??
my guess is that it is the same as with regualr stereo setup , as the perfect driver would radiate from a point source all the time at all frequency ??
about dolby thx and all ..
are there papers i could read that would give me definite pointers into the requirements and definittions of all the goals ??

Personally, I use a LEDE type of setup, with the surround speakers at the live end.

Quite a few people prefer bi-polar surround speakers, myself included. In general the surrounds in movies are used for ambience most of the time, so a difuse sound is what you're mostly after. You still need some ability to pin point the surrounds though for effects you are supposed to be able to locate, so the design is a compromise. I'm going to have a go at some M&K'alike tripoles in the future, as they look to be a good mix of difuse and directional radiation.
Usually the surround speakers are best setup high on the side walls slightly behind you, Dolby suggests between 90 and 110 degrees to the screen. In a 7.1 setup the surrounds stay where they are and the two surround back speakers are placed close togeather and directly behind you, similar height to the side surrounds.
Dolby Digital and DTS are encoding standards, THX is a reproduction system standard, basically a set of specifications a setup must comply with for THX certification. The ideal setup would be 7 full range speakers with dipole radiation for the surrounds, each capable of producing 100db peaks at the listening position and a subwoofer able to produce 115db+. The advantage of having all speakers full range is extra cone area and therefore potentially low distortion bass, and hopefully no sub localisation. The disadvantages are all speakers would require EQ to counter room modes and very large main speakers.
THX specifies main/surround speakers with a 12db/octave rolloff at 80Hz, handing everything below that to the sub. The surround processor/amp adds a 12db/octave, 80Hz rolloff to the main speakers and a 24db/octave linkwitz riley lowpass to the sub, netting a 24db/octave crossover . This is a far more sensible idea as getting you main speakers down to 80Hz in a sealed box and able to output 100db is dead easy and would result in much more domestically acceptable speakers. Usually a single 6-7" woofer per speaker is sufficient, which means you can put more of the budget into the sub/s
To playback at reference level is very demanding for the sub, usually a pair/quad of 15's is required depending on your room and amplifier size. The two things to remember are... 1:- More cone area is better and 2:- You need some form of room EQ.
The front speakers are pretty free choice, some people prefering TM layouts, some prefering MTM's. Again it's one of those things you usually have to try and then decide what you like best. The most important things to remember about the front three speakers are that they are all identical and all placed at the same height. I can't help but laugh when you see pictures of peoples systems with the centre speaker either 10ft above the left and right on top of their projection screen or on the floor below
I have a fairly small room and not many seats so I don't bother with a centre speaker, just the left and right. Unless you have people sitting pretty far off axis a centre isn't really that nessesary.

Run, do not walk, to a nearby "home theatre" specialist. It might cost you a little but IF you mess anything up it'll cost you a heck of a lot more to correct it later!
You're going to need equipment anyway so let them help you through the entire process. Win, win.

Insulated concrete forms?
Are we talking basement here?
Then I hope this means an hydronic heating system with piping in both the floor below and the floor above. Good for you if that's your plan. You'll get the most efficient heating system and the ability to isolate most of the HT sound from the rest of the house.
Aside from having some concrete forms onsite when the flat work is poured (for sub boxes), I can imagine any other built in design features would be very costly and just be confining for future changes.
"Flat mounted speakers" make sense in many ways, especially to go with flat displays, but this can be done easily utilizing typical stud-wall construction against its interior. Are you planning this anyway? If that's the case and you're going to have plasterboard sidewalls, you might consider framing them in four foot sections, and installing them sawtooth style. If you built that to a soffit you'd have a raceway for future wiring and a unique placement for spot lighting.
One idea I would consider, is to have a utility room behind your entertainment wall to provide access to the component wires, with good lighting.

Living only 30 minutes from Napa, my wife and I have been thoroughly wrapped up in the wine culture here. Once you've visited a Napa Valley winery for a tasting with friends, you realize there's no turning back. The wine, the food, and the landscape are all captivating. Our goal is to visit as many wineries as possible. Not only do we enjoy the great taste of wine, we find it very interesting to discover the different notes and textures of wine too. -Tim & Becky

I used to carry the Speer 135 gr. .38 +P short barrel rounds until I saw a few ballistic gel tests for the Remington Golden Saber 125 +P. I was surprised to see the Sabers expand more reliably and penetrate more deeply than the Gold Dots did. Plus the recoil is lighter, they are cheaper and more readily available. I now own a few boxes and it is what I carry in my LCR. Check it out on YouTube and make up your own mind. They are not the gun forum ammo of choice but they work well.

Sloane Stephens, the third-highest-ranked American women's tennis player, stumbled out of the U.S. Open in the second round on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old — and No. 21 seed at the event — lost to Sweden's Johanna Larsson in three sets, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, to mark her earliest exit from the tournament's main draw. No. 4 seed Agnieska Radwanska of Poland also lost to China's Shuai Peng, 6-3, 6-4.
Stephens's loss comes a day after 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis had a surprise of her own when she upset No. 12 seed Dominika Cibulkova in the first round to become the youngest player to win a U.S. Open match since Anna Kournikova in 1996.
Stephens, ranked No. 24 in the world, appeared sluggish at times and committed a whopping 63 unforced errors. Larsson, the 96th-ranked player in the world, had never advanced past the first round at the U.S. Open in her previous four attempts.
Stephens has struggled this year compared with her breakout season in 2013, when she reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Stephens failed to advance past the fourth round in any of the majors this year.
The American appeared defensive in her news conference after the match, per the Post's Isabelle Khurshudyan.
Sloane Stephens: ″Everyone moves at their own pace. I'm not going to dwell on this."— Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) August 27, 2014

Stephens: ″There's a lot of the year left. … It's far from over."— Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) August 27, 2014

Great Astronomers HTML version
John Herschel
This illustrious son of an illustrious father was born at Slough, near Windsor, on the 7th
March, 1792. He was the only child of Sir William Herschel, who had married somewhat
late in life, as we have already mentioned.
[PLATE: ASTRONOMETER MADE BY SIR J. HERSCHEL to compare the light of
certain stars by the intervention of the moon.]
The surroundings among which the young astronomer was reared afforded him an
excellent training for that career on which he was to enter, and in which he was destined
to attain a fame only less brilliant than that of his father. The circumstances of his youth
permitted him to enjoy one great advantage which was denied to the elder Herschel. He
was able, from his childhood, to devote himself almost exclusively to intellectual
pursuits. William Herschel, in the early part of his career, had only been able to snatch
occasional hours for study from his busy life as a professional musician. But the son,
having been born with a taste for the student's life, was fortunate enough to have been
endowed with the leisure and the means to enjoy it from the commencement. His early
years have been so well described by the late Professor Pritchard in the "Report of the
Council of the Royal Astronomical Society for 1872," that I venture to make an extract
"A few traits of John Herschel's boyhood, mentioned by himself in his maturer life, have
been treasured up by those who were dear to him, and the record of some of them may
satisfy a curiosity as pardonable as inevitable, which craves to learn through what early
steps great men or great nations become illustrious. His home was singular, and
singularly calculated to nurture into greatness any child born as John Herschel was with
natural gifts, capable of wide development. At the head of the house there was the aged,
observant, reticent philosopher, and rarely far away his devoted sister, Caroline Herschel,
whose labours and whose fame are still cognisable as a beneficent satellite to the brighter
light of her illustrious brother. It was in the companionship of these remarkable persons,
and under the shadow of his father's wonderful telescope, that John Herschel passed his
boyish years. He saw them, in silent but ceaseless industry, busied about things which
had no apparent concern with the world outside the walls of that well-known house, but
which, at a later period of his life, he, with an unrivalled eloquence, taught his
countrymen to appreciate as foremost among those living influences which but satisfy
and elevate the noblest instincts of our nature. What sort of intercourse passed between
the father and the boy may be gathered from an incident or two which he narrated as
having impressed themselves permanently on the memory of his youth. He once asked
his father what he thought was the oldest of all things. The father replied, after the
Socratic method, by putting another question: 'And what do you yourself suppose is the
oldest of all things?' The boy was not successful in his answers, thereon the old
astronomer took up a small stone from the garden walk: "There, my child, there is the
oldest of all the things that I certainly know.' On another occasion his father is said to
have asked the boy, 'What sort of things, do you think, are most alike?' The delicate,

(CNSNews.com) - All six Democrats that have been assigned to the special joint congressional committee that will recommend means for cutting the nation's anticipated spending by $1.5 trillion over the next ten years compiled voting records last year that earned them grades of "F" from the National Taxpayers Union (NTU).
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) announced today that she has assigned Assistant Democratic Leader James E. Clyburn (S.C.), Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.) and Budget Committee Ranking Member Chris Van Hollen (Md.) to serve on the panel. Previously, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had named Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) and Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (Mont.) to serve on the committee.
None of these Democrats had voting records that scored even as high as 10 percent in the NTU's annual rating of Congress for last year. Among the six, Rep. Clyburn earned the lowest score of 2 percent and Sen. Baucus earned the highest score of 9 percent. Rep. Van Hollen earned a score of 4 percent and Rep. Becerra and Senators Murray and Kerry earned scores of 6 percent.
In NTU's rating system, all members of Congress who score below 20 percent for their voting record are given a grade of "F" and named a "Big Spender."
Members who score 90 percent or higher are given a grade of "A" and named a Taxpayers' Friend.
Of the 3 Republicans named to the special joint committee by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), two—Senators Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Rob Portman (Ohio)—were not in Congress last year so they did not get an NTU rating for 2010. The third McConnell appointee, Sen. Jon Kyl (Ariz.), earned an "A" with a score of 97 percent and was named a "Taxpayers' Friend."
Of the 3 Republicans named to the committee by House Speaker John Boehner, one was a taxpayer friend: House Republican Conference Chair Jeb Hensarling (Texas) earned an "A" with a score of 94 percent. The other two Boehner appointees--Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (Mich.) and Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (Mich.)-- were not named "Taxpayers's Friends." Camp earned a score of 88 percent and a grade of "B+." Upton earned a score of 86 percent and a grade of "B."
The NTU, a nonpartisan organization, grades all members of Congress each year on the stands they take on "every vote that significantly affects taxes, spending, debt, and regulatory burdens on consumers and taxpayers." In 2010, the group scored 165 votes in the House and 145 in the Senate.
"Unlike most organizations that publish ratings, we refuse to play the 'rating game' of focusing on only a handful of congressional votes on selected issues," NTU says of its congressional scoring. "The NTU voting study is the fairest and most accurate guide available on congressional fiscal policies. It is a completely unbiased accounting of votes."
The median NTU score among Republicans in the Senate was 96 percent and in the House 88 percent. The median NTU score among Democrats was 7 percent in both the Senate and House.
Not all congressional Democrats get "F"s from the NTU. For example, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska earned a score of 52 percent for his 2010 voting record and a grade of "C." Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana earned a score of 43 percent and a grade of "C-." House Agriculture Ranking Member Colin Peterson (D.-Minn.) earned a score of 41 percent and a grade of "C-" and Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) earned a score of 44 percent and a grade of "C-."
The law to lift the debt limit by as much as $2.4 trillion that President Barack Obama negotiated with congressional leaders and signed earlier this month provides that a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction be created with 6 members from each house of Congress equally split between the two parties. The committee is charged with recommending $1.5 trillion in spending cuts from what the government is already planning to spend over the next decade. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi all got to name 3 members from their respective caucuses to the committee.
Here are the National Taxpayers Union's grade and percentage score for the voting records of the 12 members of the special joint committee who have been named so far.
Grade Percentage
Sen. Patty Murray (D.-Wash.) F 6 percent
Sen. John Kerry (D.-Mass.) F 6 percent
Sen. Max Baucus (D.-Mont.) F 9 percent
Sen. Jon Kyl (R.-Ariz.) A 97 percent
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) Not rated in 2010
Sen. Rob Portman (R.-Ohio) Not rated in 2010
Rep. Chis Van Hollen (D.-Md.) F 4 percent
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D.-S.C.) F 2 percent
Rep. Xavier Becerra (D.-Calif.) F 4 percent
Rep. Dave Camp (R.-Mich.) B+ 88 percent
Rep. Fred Upton (R.-Mich.) B 86 percent
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R.-Texas) A 94 percent

The people of Planet Earth are aging. When the world population passed 7 billion in late 2011, 600+ million people were over the age of 60. By 2025, the 60+ segment will comprise 20% of the population in most industrialized nations.
Bolzano, Italy, is reaching this milestone a little faster almost a quarter of the population is over the age of 65. In fact, Italy, along with Japan, has one of the oldest populations in the world. As a result, Bolzano currently spends close to half of their social services budget on services for the elderly.
An IBM Smarter Cities team led by the IBM Human Centric Solutions Center partnered with Bolzano city planners to answer the question "Can we use technology to guarantee a good quality of life?" And the answer is a resounding "yes."
The team outfitted a small group of elderly residents' homes with sensors which would report information back to a central database closely monitored by the city. From there, the city could dispatch a care worker to visit the home. By allowing Bolzano to keep the number of their staff members the same, the program stabilizes the city's costs while simultaneously allowing it to care for its growing elderly population.
The Living Safe Project is making a difference for Italian seniors aging in place in Bolzano. City planners estimate 30% savings in assistance and care. But, Zita, one resident using the solution, places a different value on the program, saying, "It feels like I have a friend at home watching over the house."
She adds, "Independence is the most beautiful thing in the world. This is important. This is living. This is richness."

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – Lara Rath, Wittenberg class of 2008 from Mount Pleasant, Pa., has made a mark in her field of study as one of a select few students nationwide to receive a prestigious Ernest F. Hollings Scholarship from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Scholarship.
Established just two years ago, the scholarship offers students more than just financial assistance for their education. NOAA supports undergraduate training in fields of oceanic and atmospheric science, research and technology, and the organization works to increase public understanding of environmental issues. The financial support is offered during junior and senior years of undergraduate study, providing a paid 10-week internship during the summer between these years.
While the NOAA program is fairly new, there is a great deal of competition for the 100 scholarships awarded each year, and it has quickly become one of the most prestigious and sought-after scholarships in the sciences. Less than 25 of the scholarship recipients in 2006-07 came from biological science backgrounds, Rath's field of study.
"I feel blessed and am very honored to have received this award. I think it speaks well of Wittenberg's science departments, as well as our marine science program," said Rath, a biology major and marine science minor. "To be recognized alongside students of more big-name schools such as University of North Carolina, Stanford and Harvard is a mark of distinction for Wittenberg."
Lara Rath on a dive
Rath is currently studying at the Duke Marine Laboratory, where the NOAA Scholarship afforded her the opportunity to take field courses in Singapore and Trinidad, as well as additional opportunities to network with NOAA officials.
Being a member of the second class of NOAA scholarship recipients has enabled Rath to further her childhood dreams. She has always had an interest in science and oceans.
"Throughout my secondary and undergraduate education, I realized I was more inclined toward biological research," she said. "This program has provided me the financial means to support this interest, and the experience I gain through the internship will aid in my pursuit of these goals."
This summer, Rath will be working with David Meyer of the National Ocean Services Center for Coastal Habitat Research at Pivers Island, Beaufort, N.C. Most likely, she will be doing a "comparative study of algal assemblages in channel and bank habitats in the Florida Keys." At the end of the internship, Rath and the other scholarship recipients will travel to NOAA headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., to report their research findings at a weeklong conference.

I am not the 1911 afficionado here but I just remembered I have some TXT files I snagged from posts on THR - I'll try and attach them for you - because they may well provide some useful info. They are just copied from board mainly.
On THR ( http://www.thehighroad.org/index.php ) - if you go browse and search in the autoloaders forum you can search for 1911 and find a whole heap of info - more than you'll digest I suspect - but also may find some good links too. 1911 Tuner there is a mine of info - and he helped me out with a small job on my hammer and disconnect etc some while back.

Post GFC, justified hatred has been directed at bankers and traders who immorally and illegally gambled with billions of company, investor and even public money... and lost. Bad things happened during the dark times of 2008/09 and fortunately many of the 'bad eggs' in the banking world were exposed. Unfortunately, this often cost the jobs, savings and investments of the people working for them and/or the public putting their faith in them. No doubt there are still a few bad eggs still out there and hopefully in time, they too will be exposed... with any luck just not to the detriment of others.
To a certain extent this hatred has rubbed off on all professionals involved in financial markets, tarred with the brush of being involved in this supposedly evil profession. Yet every profession has its bad eggs; there are bad builders (leaky homes), bad doctors (illegal operations, etc), immoral lawyers (overcharging, bad advice and more), bad accountants, taxi drivers, bus drivers, politicians, even priests. There are even some VERY 'bad eggs' recently exposed in the very schools that we send our children.
As a father of young boys I find this absolutely reprehensible, yet a couple of bad examples doesn't affect my enormous respect for teachers and the exceptional service they provide.
The point I wish to make is that a small number of bad people in a profession do not make the rest of the profession bad. This applies as equally to teachers as it does traders - despite a few bad headlines.
I am a trader and I trade for myself from home - NOT for a bank. I know many people who do exactly this and there are some really, really great people who choose to trade the markets. They have come from all walks of life - builders, doctors, lawyers, accountants, taxi drivers, bus drivers, politicians; even priests and teachers have come to us to learn how to trade the markets. So are these people good because they are builders and teachers or are they bad because they are traders? Go figure!
Most people are good and most professions provide a valuable service to society in some way. All have bad people in them but the large majority are good.
Back on the trading theme, a free market place is where a willing buyer, transacts with a willing seller. It's legal, legitimate, above board and there are many benefits attached. That is why western first- world economies choose to adopt free markets. This gives those of us living in countries like the USA, UK, Australia, Japan , Singapore and indeed New Zealand, the chance to become traders in almost any market we wish - forex, stocks, options, futures, bonds and more. Even better, we can do this from home and from any country with a stable broadband connection.
Take a look at the countries that don't provide free markets. They also often have no welfare systems, unstable governments, possibly run by dictators, corrupt police (if they have a police force at all) and overall they provide very few of the basic freedoms we take for granted. For those opposed to free markets and the people who trade them maybe you should take a look at these countries.
I want to give you a brief glimpse into my life as a trader and why I love this profession, a career path that's required plain hard work and grit but gives me the freedom to be a present and committed father to my two young sons plus to live and work from wherever in the world I choose.
The beginnings of it for me started when I was a child. I decided that when I had kids of my own, I was going to be home with them. I had a great upbringing, went to a nice school, had very loving and caring parents and all was happy on the home front. There were however some tough times financially and I vowed from a young age that when I was an adult, things would be different.
I went to London in 1999 armed with a business diploma and work experience consisting of KFC delivery driving and furniture removal. Luckily it was economic boom time and for the next few years finding a job was never difficult. I was doing alright and having a great time on my big OE but I had one problem - I had to go to work each day. Now I don't mind work and anyone that knows me will tell you that I am somewhat of a hard worker. I just don't like working for anyone else - how would I be home with my kids later in life if I was heading off to the office daily? A lot of working fathers (and mothers too!) will likely register with wanting a bit more time at home.
Around 2001 I started trading options and stocks in my part time. By 2004 I was actively trading the markets. In late 2004 I left my job on the 20th floor of the Citibank tower in London's Canary Wharf - post September 11 it was far too airy - watching the planes take off from City airport flying right at me - so I left to trade for myself from home. I started to do well, I was working for myself, I was home all day and so long as I could sustain it, I had achieved my goal.
Fast forward to 2008 and my first of two sons was born. I had no boss to request paternity leave from and if I wanted to start late one day or every day, I could. I was there for the milestones with my camera at the ready. I know dads now who are lucky if they get home in enough time to bath their kids let alone share a meal with them after a hard day at the office. Nothing against office jobs - we need them - it's just not for me.
In 2009 as a Kiwi couple living in London, we decided to make the move home to New Zealand, from where I could run my online trading business from just as easily as from London. Nothing changed except the desk I sat at and that the summers improved somewhat. My profession allows me to choose where I live and I am proud to have returned to my home country.
So I became a trader for the same reason most of us do what we do, to provide a good life for my family. Some say we are lucky if what we do excites us in addition to making a living and in that respect, I guess I must be lucky. As the saying goes 'the harder I work, the luckier I get'. I have made many great friends over the years who are traders, some of whom I have helped to become traders. Most of them trade for themselves from home, they are not bankers and they trade their own money. They are good people, great people even. It is a completely moral, ethical and exciting career path that they have chosen.

Queen Athena is a supporting character from Disney's animated film The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning Her speaking voice was provided by Lorelei Hill Butters, and her singing voice was provided by Andrea Robinson.
Queen Athena was the wife of King Triton, and the mother of Ariel and her six older sisters. She was the Queen of Atlantica, and was beloved by her family and her subjects. She and Triton had been best friends since their childhood. Queen Athena was noted for her singing talent and her love of music. A statue of Athena dancing with Triton is present in Triton's courtyard. She is shown to have long red hair, green eyes, and a blue tail. As queen, she wore a tiara similar in form to Triton's. Ariel is said to bear a close resemblance to her.
Role in the FilmEdit
Athena appears at the very beginning of the film as a supporting character. She and Triton are shown to be very much in love. She and Triton are shown to share a special song (known as "Athena's Song"). One day, Athena and Triton are relaxing in a cove with their daughters and some other merpeople. Triton and Athena are celebrating their anniversary, and so Triton gives Athena a special music box that plays their song. However, pirates soon approach the cove and attack the merpeople. Most of the merpeople escape safely, but her daughter Attina's tail was caught between two rocks, and Athena went to save her. Attina escapes, but Athena swims over to save her music box and is killed when pirate ship collides with the rocks.
Her death left Triton heartbroken. When he found the music box he had given her, he chucked it out into the ocean, bans music from the kingdom and raises his seven daughters very strictly. However, Ariel and her sisters inherited their mother's love of and talent for music. Later on, Ariel references her mother at several points. When she learns of the Catfish Club, Ariel sings a song remembering her mother and her love for music. Later, when confronting Triton over his ban of music, Ariel points out that Athena wouldn't have wanted music to be banned from the kingdom.
Other AppearancesEdit
Athena is referenced in TV series in the episode "Beached". Triton references her, revealing that he had made a promise to her to raise the girls properly.

To me They are super sticky sweet in a Victoria Secret body spray kind of way.
First off, these are listed as "feminine", so can these be worn by a guy safely? Next, which one would you choose for wearing alone, and with layering? I'm aware that the patchouli is not very prominent, so no need to explain that to me. Which one do you like? What would be some fragrances you would layer this with? I own mostly designer fragrances, so keep that in mind. But you can offer any suggestions to inform other readers of possible options.
To me They are super sticky sweet in a Victoria Secret body spray kind of way.
Have both in my collection and although they are both sweet still like them.
Sorry can't help on the layering options, I never layer my fragrances preferring the notes of each to be my scent of the day when applied, however I know the Vanille is popular for layering with other Basenoters. Hope this helps
I go with the Vanille for a pure vanilla scent.
Laurence Dumont Les Senteurs Gourmands have a wonderful Vanille Patchouli which is a great delight and a bargain.

Dog-proof garbage container?
I am trying to train my dog to stay away from the kitchen trash, because she likes to get into it, and has recently developed diabetes, so now the prospect of her getting old food is not just annoying, but dangerous. To be safe, I'd like to make it almost impossible for her to get into the trash, training notwithstanding.
I just moved into a new rental unit; I do not have a pantry and there is a shelf beneath my sink so there really is nowhere to store the trash. I have thought about bolting the trash to the wall, or doing something to the lid of a trash container to make it impossible to open without opposable thumbs, but I'm at a loss.
Relevant info: my landlord is very laid back and won't mind reasonable modifications in the unit. My dog is a small, 16-lb poodly thing with not much height but surprising jumping skills. I'm pretty clueless about DIY stuff, but my father is visiting me this Sunday and he's far more capable than myself (and is willing to bring power tools and his assistance). I do not yet own a kitchen-sized trash container, so I'm willing to buy one of any recommended material. Finally, I am aware that there are expensive trash containers for sale that purport to be pet-proof, but I'd much rather put one together myself.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

She begins immediately and succeeds Rebecca Yeldham, who stepped down after nearly three years with the festival.
Film Independent produces the festival and the Spirit Awards.
"My passion for Film Independent has only grown over the years, and I couldn't be happier to become even more involved in an organization that puts filmmakers first and supports them in specific and tangible ways," Allain said in a statement.
"The Los Angeles Film Festival is a unique celebration of cinema and a hub for filmmakers and film lovers, especially for those of us who live and work in the film industry. I can't wait to dive in and develop creative ways in which we can expand the festival and its programs."
Film Independent's co-president, Sean Mc Manus, said that "Stephanie has a clear vision for the festival, a stellar track record as a producer and a deep commitment to the festival's filmmaker-centric focus."
In addition to her work at Henson, Allain spent 10 years as an executive at Columbia Pictures, rising to senior VP production.
At Columbia she was instrumental in making "Boyz n The Hood." Among the films she supervised were "El Mariachi" and "I Like It Like That."
From 1996 to 2000, she was president of Jim Henson Pictures, where she produced "Muppets From Space," "Elmo In Grouchland" and Caroline Thompson's "Buddy." In 2000, she joined 3 Arts Entertainment, where she produced "Biker Boys" and "Good Boy!"
She formered her own production company, Homegrown Pictures, in 2004, and produced Craig Brewer's "Hustle & Flow."
Most recently, she produced "We The Peoples," Tina Gordon Chism's directorial debut. Lionsgate will release the movie, which stars Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington, in 2013.
She is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Producers Guild of America, and has juried numerous festivals. She also has taught at USC's Peter Stark Program and at the Entertainment Studies Division of UCLA.

"Love and Other Drugs"
The year is 1996, and Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal, "Prince of Persia") has just quit his job as salesman at an electronic company, and is looking for something new. His brother, Josh (Josh Gad, TV's "Woke Up Dead"), has a contact at Pfizer, so he hooks him up with a job as a Pfizer sales representative. Jamie is already charming, and he soon puts his charms to work, coaxing nurses and doctors alike to stock the shelves with Pfizer's products, especially once Viagra is released. He soon meets Maggie (Anne Hathaway, "Alice in Wonderland") at a doctor's office, however, and although they both swear that they aren't looking for a relationship, they soon begin to fall in love with each other.

Driver (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "The Other Guys") has just completed a ten-year jail sentence and he's looking to kill the men who left him for dead and killed the rest of his bank robbery crew. What he doesn't know, however is that Killer (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, "Going the Distance") has been hired by one of these men to kill him. In addition, after Driver starts murdering people, Cop (Billy Bob Thornton, "The Smell of Success") is hot on his tail, trying to catch him. The three characters won't come face-to-face with each other until the end of the film, but when they do, the result is epic.

"The Art of Power" premieres in Ann Arbor

On Saturday November 22nd, the premiere of the film "The Art of Power" was held at the Michigan Theater. There was a VIP party held at the theater starting at 6:30 P.M., which included a small buffet, drinks, and desserts, and the movie started at 8:00 P.M. There was also an after-party held at Sava's on State Street. The movie is produced by First Element Entertainment, which is a Detroit-based film company, and Ann Arbor was the first to see the film in a theatrical setting. Adrian Walker, the founder and CEO of First Element, is a 2006 University of Michigan graduate with a B.S. in Engineering, and he started the company in 2009. He also is the writer and producer of "The Art of Power."
The film takes place in D.C. and follows Wesley (Scott Norman) as he embarks upon a relationship with a girl he meets at a club (Erin Nicole). He doesn't know that the girl, Alexis, is friends with his sister, Sienna (Marisa Stober, "Jingles the Clown"), who is trying to finish her degree in education at George Mason University. The film is "non-linear" so at the beginning of the movie we see Wesley being arrested for murder; however, we don't find out who he is accused of murdering until the end of the movie.

one of the stars of "The Art of Power"
The movie was mostly filmed in D.C. but there were a few parts filmed in Ann Arbor, including scenes at the Blue Nile, Ten Thousand Villages, and Eve. There was also one short street scene filmed in Ann Arbor, as I recognized it as Washington Street. Erin Nicole, the actress who plays Alexis, is a reporter for local news channel WDIV, and Marisa Stober, who plays Sienna, is a 2005 U of M grad, so the film has a lot of local connections.
At the Q&A after the movie, Adrian Walker and director Nathanael Sherfield took the stage to answer questions from the audience. Adrian said that they did "preproduction in two months" and he started writing the screenplay in February 2009. It was "the fastest [I've] ever written a screenplay" – it only took him three months to write – and they began shooting in summer 2009, in both Ann Arbor, D.C., and other Michigan locations. The film was edited in early 2010.
The story is very "non-linear," as Walker called it – it's not in chronological order – and he said that "the only way we felt we could keep people's attention was to keep them guessing, and a non-linear story can do that."

When asked how much their budget was for the movie, Walker laughed and joked: "If I told you that I'd have to kill you – we're in negotiations for distribution right now."
"The Art of Power" is planning on screening in Grand Rapids, D.C, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto, according to its website, and I believe it will be as well received in those locations as it was in Ann Arbor.

"127 Hours"
Aron Ralston (James Franco, "Eat Pray Love") is a solo adventurer. He decides to go "canyoneering" in the mountains by himself, and unfortunately he didn't leave a note at home or tell anyone the location to which he was going. When he climbs down into a particularly narrow part of the mountain, a boulder falls on his arm, and it pins his arm and his hand to the wall. Aron tries everything he can think of to unpin himself from the boulder, but unfortunately, his best efforts aren't working. As days start to pass by and his supply of food and water starts to rapidly dwindle, he must do the unthinkable in order to survive.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1"
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are still recovering over Dumbledore's death (as seen in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the previous movie). Voldemort has assembled his minions and they have already taken over the Ministry of Magic; all "good" witches and wizards, then, are in fear for their lives. Harry and his friends must find and destroy the Horcruxes, which Dumbledore had told them about, as this is the only way to defeat the Dark Lord. On their quest to do this, they find out about the legend of the Deathly Hallows, and that one of the hallows, the most powerful wand in the world, is something that Voldemort desires in his mission to find and kill Harry.

Ali (singer Christina Aguilera) is working a dead-end job at a restaurant in her Iowa hometown when she decides to hop on a bus to Los Angeles, where she hopes to make it as a singer. She goes to a few auditions and then she sees a burlesque club, and decides to venture inside. She is amazed by the dancing and singing, and tries to get a job there; however, the proprietor of the club, Tess (actress/singer Cher, "Stuck on You"), says that she'll have to wait for auditions. Instead, she just picks up a tray and starts waitressing, and eventually Tess hires her as a waitress and, after they need a replacement dancer, a burlesque girl. Meanwhile, she's living with a bartender at the club, Jack (Cam Gigandet, "Easy A" and the pony-tailed hunk from "Twilight"), who is engaged, until she can find a place of her own, while being pursued romantically by Marcus (Eric Dane, TV's "Grey's Anatomy"), who wants to buy the club from Tess.

Jarrod (Eric Balfour, TV's "Haven,") and his girlfriend Elaine (Scottie Thompson, TV's "Trauma") are going to L.A. for the weekend to visit his old friend Terry (Donald Faison, TV's "Scrubs"). The first day they are there, they have a huge party at his luxury apartment, and then around 4 a.m. the next morning, they are awakened by strange lights. Jarrod is drawn to the lights and almost gets sucked in by them, until Terry drags him back inside. By the time another of their friends "disappears" into the lights, they are thoroughly freaked out, and no one can figure out what is going on, except that there has been an invasion of some kind.

Frank (Denzel Washington, "The Book of Eli") has been working for the same train company for the past 28 years. Will (Chris Pine, "Star Trek") is a newbie conductor who still needs to ride with an engineer (Denzel's character) before he is allowed to pilot a train on his own. On this particular day, however, it's a good thing that Frank is with him, as they soon find out that there is a runaway train - with no conductor - on the same track as them; in fact, it's heading straight towards them. They manage to divert their train, but when they hear that the train is headed for derailment in the town that Will lives in, and that it could wipe out the entire town, they decide to take action and stop the train.

"The Next Three Days"
John Brennan (Russell Crowe, "Robin Hood") has an ideal family life with wife Lara (Elizabeth Banks, TV's "30 Rock") and their young son, Luke (Ty Simpkins, "Insidious"). All of that changes, however, when Lara is arrested for the murder of her boss. She is convicted and sent to jail, and John continues to raise their son without her. After three years of her being incarcerated, he decides to break her out - but he knows that it's going to take a lot of planning and money, and time is going to be limited.

Megamind (voice by Will Ferrell, "The Other Guys") has been fighting with Metro Man (voiced by Brad Pitt, "Inglorious Basterds") his entire life. Originally, Megamind wasn't a bad guy, but after years of being picked on and never measuring up to Metro Man, he decided to turn bad in order to keep things interesting. Megamind enjoys fighting with Metro Man and has devised a plan to kill him; he is surprised, however, when it actually works. With the city under his control and without anyone to fight, he gets bored, and so he decides to take some of Metro Man's DNA and create a new hero: Titan. Due to an unfortunate accident, he fires the DNA for Titan into a cameraman (voiced by Jonah Hill, "Get Him to the Greek"), and although Megamind trains him to be a hero, Titan ends up being a villain instead.

"Due Date"
Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr., "Iron Man 2") is supposed to be flying home to L.A. from Atlanta so that he can make it back in time for the birth of his first child. When he meets the flaky Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis, "It's Kind of a Funny Story"), however, an incident between them on the plane causes him to be put on the No-Fly list, and he will have to drive back to L.A. from Atlanta. The only problem is that his wallet with his license and all his cash and credit cards was left on the plane; when Ethan asks if he wants to share his rental car, he has no choice but to accept. What then ensues, of course, is nothing short of disaster.

I rounded just in front of Tom and called room to tack at the sea wall and we both grinded upwind on port tack keeping pace with each other. Tom's got me by a good 30 lbs so he can hold down his own and with the north 9.3 he's wicked fast. I lost track of the finish line and let Tom tack and failed to cover as he took the win while I got second and Eric in third for a nice recovery after re-rounding the leeward mark.
Always stay between your opponent and the next mark. Simple rule but easy to forget especially at the end if the race.
Race two start caught the fleet by surprise including myself as I was still trying to adjust my boom height on the starting line and didn't completely engage the cleat so 30 sec after the start my inhaul line let go. Pro tip- always tie a knot at the end of the line so it doesn't slip all the way out. I did a quick fix during my tack and lost a few boards in the process but had it set for the rest of the race.
It was time to play catch up so one by one I picked off the middle of the fleet until I found myself in the top IV again by the slalom leg in front of the St. FYC. Two good gybes and I was back in the game!
The advantage of the smaller board through the chop was huge- It's got way better handling than the bigger formula boards; even upwind as I had the mast track pegged almost all the way forward, it tracked extremely well and had superior speed through the chop.
Even if you sail a bad race and have good speed- you're going to end up ok!
At the leeward mark I had my eye on II more boards to pass upwind. The opportunity came as a ferry came through the fleet splitting Xavier off and he tacked back to the city front. I worked hard to grind Jack down with a bit better speed upwind on port tack but he hung in there and made a great call to the layline. I was able to just edge Xavier out across the line coming in on the starboard favored tack for third while Eric took the bullet and Jack in second.
Last race- time to get serious if I wanted a place on the podium. I knew the race was close in points between Eric, Tom and I so I had to stay in front of them. With no throw outs it could be anyone's game if any of us made a mistake. Tom already had a sixth in the second race so he had no room for error.
It's important going into the last race knowing where you stand and who has what to gain.
Good start on starboard tack but Al and Eric were right there as we all tacked over from starboard to port tack. We were all overlapped within a board length of each other. Who ever let up the slightest would get shot out the back.
Al to leeward, me in the middle and Eric to windward.
We stayed overlapped for a good 30 seconds before Eric fell back a bit. It was now Al and I grinding hard to weather. I had a slight advantage to windward and started to climb with the better control of the smaller board.
Tom reached the top mark first and we pushed hard all the way through the two slalom marks not letting up an inch. Gybe for gybe we matched each other. I was on the verge of exploding several times but kept it together. I know Tom on the bigger board and fin must have been wired. Heading downwind on port tack past the GGYC there were minefields of voodoo chop. It took every muscle in my body to keep from getting catapulted over the front of the board- even on the smaller board.
As we approached the layline, I gybed first knowing the flood would help and one could understand and still make it. What I didn't account for was running straight into the chop. It was the pounding of a lifetime as my leeward foot barely stayed in the double chicken strap. My legs were absorbing the chop like the front suspension of a mountain bike.
I had the line laid but just needed to keep it together. I rounded in front of Tom and covered until the finish gaining a few board lengths on the long port tack upwind. I made sure to not to make the same mistake again and called the layline to take the final bullet of the series and the days racing.
We had the awards ceremony at the AC Village on the same stage the Americas Cup and Louis Vuitton trophies will be awarded to the ultimate winners of this summer's AC circuit.
Overall- a huge success at getting to showcase our class and our sport to a wider audience. Many thanks to Cort and David at 101 surf sports for organizing the event; the Americas Cup Event Authority, the AC- OPEN and the many volunteers that make it all possible.
As promised, I told the editor at Sailing Anarchy Id get some SA shwag up on the podium.
Pics or it never happened, he said.
Here you go Scotty-

WASHINGTON — Instability in the Middle East presents an incentive to advance Israeli-Palestinian peace, Vice President Joe Biden told J Street's annual conference.
After reviewing an array of countries seized by unrest, including Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Yemen and Bahrain, as well as the threat posed by Iran's suspected nuclear program, Biden said Monday that he and President Obama were asked often why they chose to focus on restarting Israeli-Palestinian talks.
"In light of all these problems, some people ask us: Why Biden, why, why Obama. Why are you so set on trying to resolve the peace process?" Biden said.
He said it was because it was the best chance for introducing stability in the region.
"The Palestinian-Israeli issue involves the least ideological and least sectarian Arabs in the Middle East," Biden said. Arriving hours late — "Blame the President," Biden said to laughs from the crowd — the vice president proceeded to rehash many of the same themes, and even the anecdotes, he discussed during his speech at the American Israel Public Affairs conference last spring.
The reaction from some 3,000 activists attending the liberal pro-Israel group's annual conference was mixed. While he received light applause for his mentions of Iran sanctions, it was his call to support diplomacy that won more praise.
Referencing his Irish heritage, Biden said he was aware that history could complicate things but that such a legacy should be an impetus to create peace.
"I understand old hatreds dying slowly. Old scars are the hardest ones to paper over," he said. "Both sides have to realize that every grievance from the past can't be visited on their children."
He defended the American role in peace negotiations, noting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his meeting earlier Monday with Obama thanked the president for encouraging the restart of peace talks. Biden was present at the meeting as well.
"Both sides deserve our support and both sides need our support," he said to roars from the crowd. "If not us, who? "It is long past time, it is long past time, and I believe with your help we will get there. Keep the faith!"

Nasty Sharon Stone ends up having sex in photo shootWednesday, July 27th, 2016
Sultry busty Sharon Stone having hardcore sex in a photo shoot
If you don't know Sharon Stone personally, you will never know what she means when she says 'once you pop, can never stop!'. But of course, we're here to let you in that little secret and it's actually a dirty one and not some TV commercial slogan for a junk food ad. See, the first time Stone tasted a massive black cock, she confessed that there is no turning back. So now even on her frequent trips to film and photo shoots, she can't help but end up having one hardcore sex with any sexy black man that she has to work with. She ditched the smokes already and considered having a huge black dick inside her pussy, mouth, and ass her new addiction. Plus the fact that she swears, a BBC's cum tastes so much sweeter than any other jizz she's swallowed. Next time you see Stone with a Pringles in hand, you already know what to give her once she blurted out the words again and be prepared to give her the pleasure she craves if you're one ripped black dude with a nice huge boner Stone would enjoy.

Ryan Clement repairs a break in the levee of a crawfish pond Thursday north of Jennings after heavy rains. (Doris Maricle / American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, January 11, 2013 12:32 PM
By Doris Maricle / American Press
Heavy rains in Southwest Louisiana are flooding land and keeping some farmers out of the fields.
Calcasieu Parish County Agent Jimmy Meaux said although sugar cane harvesting is through in most areas, rice and soybean farmers are being kept from preparing their fields for the planting season.
Most farmers spend January and February getting fields in shape for spring planting, which can begin as early as March, he said.
The wet, muddy fields prevent the farmers from walking in or moving heavy equipment into the fields.
"Hopefully we will get a dry period, but it is going to take a long time to get the fields dry," Meaux said. "We are really saturated right now, and there is still more rain coming in next week.''
The wet, muddy conditions are also making it harder for cattle farmers to get hay and rye grass to their animals, he said.
Many areas in Southwest Louisiana, including Hayes and Grand Chenier, reported 5-10 inches of rain in a 24-hour period between Wednesday and Thursday. More rain is on the way.
"It looks like it is going to be a wet winter," Meaux said. "We've had a few dry patterns, but things are sorta getting back to normal."
Kevin Savoie, sea grant agent for the LSU AgCenter in Cameron Parish, said the rain is not all bad for crawfish farmers.
"The rain is providing them with a free source of water to flood their fields so they don't have to pump water into the fields, but at some point they are going to have to try to get that water off," Savoie said.
"The eastern half of Calcasieu Parish and Jeff Davis Parish are probably having to let off some of the overflow on the fields," he said.
Many crawfish farmers are currently seeing stock crawfish from last year and juvenile crawfish. The spring crop will not peak until May.

PowerBook Sprint Merlin S720 Hack
|Tuesday, 05 September 2006
Sprint does't support Macs, OS X 10.4.7 doesn't support Merlin S720 - EVDOinfo shows you how to get them working :)
The Merlin 720 inserted into a PowerBook G4
This is an UNSUPPORTED HACK. Apple will not support this, Sprint doesn't support this AND we do not provide support for this hack. For those that purchase their Merlin S720 from us, we do have a more detailed step by step PDF that is available (this is only available to those that purchase their card directly from us).
This article will descibe how to get the Merlin S720 to work with your PowerBook on Sprint's Mobile Broadband. The Merlin S720 is the first EVDO Rev A PCMCIA card available.
NOTE: These are instructions are for advanced users who know what they are doing only! These directions work under Mac OS X 10.4.7. For those that are not familar with the Terminal application, we have a step by step keystroke by keystroke PDF that will step you through the process:
Since the Merlin S720 is a PCMCIA card, it will only work in Macs that have a PCMCIA Slot, such as the PowerBook 15, PowerBook 17 inch, Pismo, and Titinium). These laptops must be running Mac OS X 10.4.7. If you are running a MacBook, you can use the CDU-550 (EVDO USB Modem). If you are running a MacBook Pro, you can use the CDU-550 OR the Novatel V640 ExpressCard.
Also, the card MUST be activated on a Windows PC before it can be used on the Mac. When ordering your S720 card from us, we offer the option to pre-activate it BEFORE we ship it to you.
Congratulations, your Merlin S720 is now working in your PowerBook on the Sprint Network, you can now pull down on the EVDO card indicator in the menu bar and click Connect and you will be connected. The above hack will not show you signal strength, and the menu will indicate you have a Verizon card, BUT it does allow you to connect.
We are hoping that Apple will add Merlin S720 support in Mac OS X 10.4.8 (they didn't)
How is performance?
