TB W8-1808 mltl
I had the drivers on hand and MJ King's mathcad worksheets so I thought I would give a mltl box a try. I wanted to do an ob design for this driver but I just do not have the space right now. I was using the driver in a 89 liter rectangular bass reflex cabinet that was too large and heavy. I decided to try to design the smallest possible enclosure for this driver that still had reasonable bass.
After trying many different configurations in mathcad I ended up with 80 liters internal volume cabinet that is 48" tall, 11.25" wide and 12.75" deep. I have read recommendations as high as 100 liters for a mltl box for the 1808 driver but it modeled fairly well in mathcad. It suggested a compensation network with a 2.5 mh coil and a 10 ohm resister in parallel. The stuffing specified was .5 pounds.
I am pleased with the outcome. It is very easy to listen to all day type of sound. I hear small details that are not that obvious on my other speakers.
After listening for several hours I think the compensation network kills a little too much of the top end so I added a 2 mf capacitor in parallel to the coil. That worked out about right to my ears, maybe a tad too hot. I may order a 1 mf capacitor to try. The sound is a bit bass heavy. I think I will swap out the 10 ohm resister for an 8 ohm resister. I am thinking that would raise the mid-range and treble up a tad relative to the bass.

Neat! Have you tried this without any circuit on the speaker at all?
Just curious.

I think I will try them without the compensation network tomorrow. When I had them in a bass reflex box I did not use a BSC and it sounded good to me.

I'm currently using mine in crude open baffles with sub/bass support underneath.
I worked out the T/S for them and a B4 requires a four cubic footer, and i didn't feel like building boxes at the present monet as I have too much else going on.
The back burner project for them next, is to place them in some vintage Jensen horns i picked up.
Right now, my results vary from actually very good to **** poor, depending on the music source. I'd like to hear your boxed version some time.

Red ... RED! I had to paint my speakers the same off-white color as our bedroom walls to get them into the house.
I purchased 4 TB W8-1808 when they were on sale. I will add my vote that the W8-1808 has a "natural timbre" and is very musical. 8" is the only speaker diameter I think makes sense for a whizzer cone. I know the whizzer high-freq measures poorly. I know the whizzer high-freq sounds nasty in critical listening. I STILL LIKE IT. I will also add my vote that a properly constructed MLTL has advantages over a generic BR cabinet.
I put one pair in a 120 liter MLTL (4 cu ft excluding speaker volume) for a bedroom speaker. The 52" MLTL height is ideal for in-bed listening. I found it necessary to sine-sweep the speaker and monitor the speaker_R to tune the port length, since after construction and stuffing a 0.5" port length change was very audible. FWIK, your port looks too close to the floor for an optimum MLTL. My speakers are pushed up close to the rear wall, and this compromises the sound stage, but removes the need for baffle step compensation.
I cut off the whizzers on the second W8-1808 pair and experimented with a dipole midbass. Mms ~ 9.3g. Again, a very "natural timbre", but JohnK's musicanddesign.com white papers on controlled directivity convinced me that I would need to build a dipole ribbon tweeter that could cross at 900Hz to satisfy the controlled directivity Fd naked baffle requirements. I built a 1" wide, 3" long dipole ribbon that is robust enough for a 900hz Xover, but it uses an untested mylar+Al construction, and just sounds "thin".
I put this 1808 in an aperiodic cabinet with excellent sound across the 80-1400 vocal range, but doppler type IMD was audible and measurable at high SPLs. This dopplier type IMD disapears at 100Hz for the W8-1808 midbass. Over this summer I plan to build a B&W style sphere+tapered tube out of sculpture concrete with my daughter for these non-whizzer W8-1808 plus a SB29NDC dome tweeter.

That looks a nice speaker, bigdh31, and a very reasonable size for housing that driver! Would it be cheeky to ask whether you are prepared to share your plan? I might be tempted to give that a try with my W8-1808's if you are (as a complete amateur at this!).
Any comment on without the BSC?

I don't think the whizzer is nasty at all. Designing an 8" with whizzer is its own thing, not an augmented full range. Actually the total design is quite good (cast frame, underhung, bamboo cone, 5mm xmax). If you read stereophile's voxativ loudspeaker of the year, that 8" full range was +5db all the way out from 1.5khz up. That gave a flatter response far field (in room). The 1808 is very similar. If it seems a bit tipper up, sit a squeek off axis. And at that time I wanted wider dispersion that 2 people at 12'. But I'm sure a 6db crossed ribbon would be better than a whizzer, but a whizzer on an 8" also improves dispersion from 2-4khz and lowers the response. If it was flat before, then you remove the whizzer on an 8", you probably have a response climbing to 4khz before rolling off.
I didn't like it when I had it, but now it would work for me (apartment, highly reflective setup needing high intelligibility for low volume movies, paper thin ceiling so neighbor hears even my tv). At the time (and even now) I'm used to big setup, but I've been thinking about a large folded open baffle, full range 8" setup. If you use lighter bass music, or cross it over, I think you have a winner.
I think an interesting shootout would be the 1808 vs the fa22rcz. I think the 1808 would edge it out due to a smaller peak near 3khz (that is in the fa22 and the betsy). And the 1808 has a phase plug. But we are talking a $200 driver versus a $130 and $50. But notch the 3.2khz peak in the betsy and the fa22 and it would be interesting. I was told to not remove the dustcap on the betsy, I'd imagine the response past 10khz goes away if that mod is done on that driver.
That open baffle is WAY to small, and again, I wouldn't expect too much bass from an 8" full range.
I don't think you are hearing Doppler distortion. You are hearing simple frequency modulation (lows modulating the voice stuff and higher).

The enclosure is 48" h x 11.25" w x 12.75" d. It is 3/4" material. I put a window brace 10" down from the top outside of the enclosure. I put a second window brace 23" down. I probably should of added a third window brace but I was concerned about reducing the internal volume too much. It should be about 89.9 liters internal volume with two braces. The driver is centered 14" down from the top. I used parts-express part 260-403 for the port tube. It is centered 4" from the bottom.
I put .25 pounds of polyfill on top of the two window braces for .5 pounds total. I also put 1 inch foam, part 260-525 from parts-express, on the sides adjacent to and behind the driver. This might be overkill but I wanted to reduce the possibly of reflections back through the driver.
After some long listening sessions I ended up using an 8 ohm resister and 2.5 mh coil in parallel for the baffle step circuit. I also used a type of zobel made up of a 2 mfd capacitor and a 10 ohm resistor in series across the speaker terminal to kill a little of the top end sizzle.
Overall I am very pleased with the results. The bass is very solid. The midrange and treble present a nice amount of detail and texture. I downloaded a high resolution copy of Rumors from HDtracks and was amazed how good it sounded through these speakers.

1808's now horn loaded
As I mentioned several weeks ago, I intended on horn loading my 1808's.
All the glare I heard before, when they were open baffled, has now vanished.
They are really quite superb. I operate them in this system from 250 Hz up.
I left a spot for a tweeter near the bottom of the stand, but at this point I don't think it's needed at all. In some ways this is the best sounding system I have put together. It's a 3 way, sub to 50, ppsl's 50-250.
active x-overs. sub/ mid-bass 24 db/oct ; mid-bass to horn 18 db/oct

Thanks for the detail bigdh31. I'll post back if I make them. Alternatively I might get up an hour or two earlier tomorrow morning and knock up a pair like Scott's before breakfast (awe-inspiring work there Scott!).

Abilene Reporter-News, The (Newspaper) - September 14, 1970, Abilene, Texas WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIEND5 OR FOES WE SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT PHONE 673-4271 ABILENE, TEXAS, 79604, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, PAGES IN TWO SECTIONS lOc SUNDAY Associated Preu UP) Come on, Sunshine West Texas Fair President Harvey Baker cast Iris eyes to the moisture-laden heavens Monday morning in hopes that they might begin clearing for the opening day of the huge fair. And things were looking somewhat brighter as Weather Bureau officials predicted that Monday morning's 70 per cent chance for rain would fall to 20 per cent Monday afternoon and night. (Staff photo by Don- Blakley) NE Fair Officials Act As If It Didn't Rain ill Congress, Nixon Favor 18 Voting Age Q. recently In government class, -we discussed Ihe voter age bill. Since Congress .'rejected this bill, a question came to iis, If Congress wouldn't lower the voter age, why don't llicy raise Hie draft age? A. Check back witli your government teacher. There's a misunderstanding here because Congress did pass the bill lo lower the vole rage lo 18 and the President has signed it. It's now a public law. There's some question, however, whether or not Ihe voting age can be changed without a constitutional amendment and this is being decided now by Die Supreme Court. It the court decides it's unconstitutional, the law will be declared invalid and an amendment to the Constitution will then probably be proposed. One way or another Ihe voting age seems likely to be lowered lo 18. Q. I have quite a few Hummel figurines lhat I've collected over (he years and was wondering If Ihcy arc considered anliqucs by now? A. The Hummel figurines, (which are usually small children and animals) aren't particularly rare or antiques as they're still available for sale. They were originated by Sister H. Innoccntia (born Berta Hummel) who was a Franciscan nun in Germany. She sold them to raise money for her sisterhood. Genuine Huinmels, by Sister Innocenlia, bear the signature of H. I. llnmmel. There are many imitations on Ihe market. Q. If you put a five pound fish In 10 pounds ol water, what would be the total weight? A. Fifteen pounds, The weight of. the-fish doesn't change when it's in water. Dr. Virgil Bollom, McMurry physics professor, says this problem comes up often in physics classes. He says we often confuse the lerm weight wilh the force required to lift something. Weight is the attraction, of the earth for an object. But the force required to lift an object is the difference between its weight and other buoyant forces: This principle was discovered by Archimedes about 250 B. C. Q Will you plfase explain why some of the Cily Iralllc lighls use (he yellow signal between the green and red, and others lum from green lo red without using (ho yellow. One In particular Is at S. llth and Saylcs a very busy corner and one wlierc there have been several accidents. A. Maybe we need lo have our eyes checked, but in driving by Uiat intersection we saw a light Hash on between red and green that definitely looked like amber. In an altempl lo solve the puzzle, we contacted Bud Taylor, Traffic Engineer. He said all the City traffic lights have amber following green and explained that occasionally a bulb burns out and has to be replaced. Maybe you've happened upon some inlerseclions where Ihe bulbs had burned and not been replaced yet. Address questions lo Action Line, Box 30, Abilene, Texas 7960-1.

Israelis Warn Guerrillas Against Harming Hostages By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Israel has warned Palestinian guerrillas it will impose the death penally on 450 sympathiz- ers rounded up in occupied Arab territories if Ihe remaining hi- jack hostages in Jordan arc harmed, an Arab emissary dis- closed today. Dr. Qanihawi of Nablus in Israeli-held Jordan said he carried the warning lo Amman over Hie weekend at the behest of Ihe Jerusalem government. He said the Israelis also threat- ened lo blow 'up houses of guer- rillas convicted by Israeli courts and to confiscate their property. A known sympathizer ol the Popular Front for (he Libera- tion of Palestine, which is hold- ing the hostages, the Nablus doctor was one of three Arab emissaries dispatched lo Jordan by Ihe Israelis. Afler the three arrived in Am- man, the Israelis disclosed they had rounded up 4aO Arabs in Jordan's occupied west bank and in Ihe Gaza Strip.

Procaccino Backs Rocky NEW YORK (AP) Mario Procaccino, a lifelong Democrat who was defeated when he ran for mayor last year, en- dorsed Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for re-elccllon to- day. Procaccino said he was organ- izing an Independent committee to back Rockefeller and "pre- serve Ihe political position of the moderate oriented voter.'1 He referred lo the Democratic candidate, Arthur J. Goldberg, as "an import from Chicago" and "the great liberal from Chi- cago." Procaccino's unsuccessful run was marked by a number of de- fect ions by Democrats lo the banner ot Mayor John V. Lind- say, who was re-elected on the Liberal parly and independent lines. Goldberg supported Lind- say. Al a news conference, Procac- cino also voiced support of Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson and Re- publican Ally Gen. Louis J. Ufkowitz, but endorsed the Democratic slale comptroller, Arthur Levitt. Rockefeller, Procaccino laid, is "a real pro wilh a record of solid achievement. He has per- formed well and has provided real substance in Ihe form of en- lighlcncd and efficient govern- ment." He called on voters to "reject I hose who stabbed the Demo- cratic party in the back.''

From The Atlantic
The city's new Museum of History and Industry offers a portrait of how Seattle innovated its way into the 21st century, and what got lost along the way.
Let's stop talking about how to "fix the grid" and recognize what we have.
Not only do expos bring together sustainable themes and ideas for an urban future, they often remake their host cities into leaner, greener spaces.
Fifty years after its debut, Seattle's Jetsons-era World's Fair is still shaping the city, an example of how an ephemeral exposition can have a permanent impact.

Michael Stauffer of Streaminders talks about a project to restore the riparian vegetation along a stretch of Big Chico Creek near Caper Acres in Bidwell Park, which involved replacing 50 tons of concrete and asphalt. The organization and the city of Chico had an information table and offered tours of the area Saturday. The work continues and volunteers are need to help with the restoration. (Story and photo from Sept. 23, 2007 Chico Enterprise-Record).
Dr. Mark Kelly, owner of https://www.yardcaregurus.com/, points out that the human species may now have itself backed up against the wall. Unless we actively manage California landscapes to promote and maintain what ecologists call "ecosystem services," hope will not spring eternal.11/06/08
In an average year, 27 inches of rainwater falls on Chico. Each year, the California Water Service supplies 9.85 million gallons of water pumped from the Tuscan aquifer below Chico—and thousands upon thousands of gallons that roll off rooftops (4,492 gallons per 2,000 square feet) are essentially thrown away. That is some of the cleanest water around, yet many of our roofs dump that pure water into roadways, where it is mixed with dirty water and dumped into our creeks.02/21/08
Student volunteers began cleanup of a 17-acre, empty, city-owned lot that used to house a gravel quarry during the construction of Highway 99. Now the lot mostly houses concrete covered in weeds, oak trees and yellow starthistle.
To clean up the property, the Big Chico Creek Watershed Alliance, the Mechoopda Tribe, Streaminders, Chico State University and Community Action Volunteers in Education (CAVE) collaborated a large scale project to remove invasive plants and restore the site to wetlands, grassland and oak woodlands.09/30/07

RECOMMENDED: All recipes from us
We featured end-of-summer dishes in our Last Chance at Summer issue, out now, and here's another seasonal recipe you can make at home.
Fresh peach cobbler with buttermilk crust from Ruth Reichl
- 4 large peaches
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
Peel 4 large peaches and slice them directly into a glass or ceramic pie plate, being sure to capture the juice. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon over the fruit and toss in a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of sugar (depending on your sweet tooth). Stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch.
RECOMMENDED: Last Chance at Summer guide
Mix a cup of flour with a teaspoon of baking powder, a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 1/2 a stick of butter and very gently mix in a 1/3 cup of buttermilk. Plop the dough onto the fruit and bake in a 400-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
Serve warm, with a pitcher of cream.

text: how is it going all? i see that it says to introduce yourself so my background. i have been a mechanic in the US ARMY for a little more than 4 years so if its diesel, green, and has a weapon turret im a champ but when it comes to my 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6.0 i tend to get lost more than i like to admit. I have worked on every style of combat and non tactial vehicle that the army has from the M1 ABRAMS, to the newer and less known 5 varients of the STRYKER combat vehicle. i just got back from a 10 month deployment in Iraq. Any way, on to my pickup here is what i have and the list of mods so far: 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 6.0 / gas air raid cone air filter (got onced over at 4wheel parts didnt come with the tube but they said it did) 33" BFG all terrain 2.5" leveling kit Rino Grill Guard Cobra CB True Dual exaust w/ flow master suv series mufflers.(married and only vehicle couldn't get 40 series approved)\ The suggestions that i am looking for would be for the upgrades that i am currently getting ready to start doing which would be headers (shorty), shocks, programmer, new intake and possibly a throttle body spacer. the headers are currently at the top of the list because of a hole in the driver side cross over tube heading around the block to the rest of the system so i figured what the hell i am going to be replacing it, why not just go all out. i really don't know which brand that would be both a good price and quality i have been looking around and the price cap is looking to be $600. #2 the programmer i know nothing about them so i was reading a few other threads and this is what i am looking for: speedometer adjustment is really needed and i would like it to store at least 3 different tunes if that is at all possible i want to get a tune for fuel economy, towing, and for when i want all the power that i can squeeze out of that 6.0 and trans. #3 throttle body spacer and cold air intake, i was looking at the spacers online and was reading about them and i noticed that they are different thicknesses and so i went to go see just how much room i could squeeze out of one of these things and realized that with the sock air tube there was on a scale from one to ten absolutely no room left for a spacer. This left me wondering if with a solid intake tube on one of these trucks is there any point or room for the spacer and what would be a good match in brands of intake and spacer? any help here would be awesome and greatly appreciated.


text: Natural Stone Slabs for GTA Kitchen Countertops By Glenna MacDougal ArticlesFebruary 10, 20150 Back to HomeTweet Natural Stone Slabs in the GTA Natural stone slabs for kitchen countertops give GTA homes value and beauty. Learn more about sourcing stone from a stone importer. There are various ways to find some of the best natural stone slabs in the GTA. Most homeowners who need stone slabs are looking for marble or granite for use as countertops. If you are looking for quality stone for a countertop, chances are that you have a contractor and/or a fabricator working on your reno or your new home. These professionals should have some suggestions on where to source countertop stone. If you want to explore a number of options, an internet search can help you widen your selection. There are some criteria to consider when choosing a stone supplier, including: Experience. You will want to select a stone importer-distributor who has a great deal of experience and knowledge. Look for a company that's been in business for many years, and that has a good track record. If you don't know a friend, family member, co-worker, or neighbour who has used the company, ask staff to provide you with a former client who could attest to the quality of their stone and service. Independence. Large hardware chains may charge slightly less for stone, but chances are the quality of the granite or marble is sub-par, or corners have been cut during the processing. In addition, the selections of stone from larger enterprises tend to lack variety. Smaller independent importers often have personal relationships stretching back decades with people at various quarries around the world. They may travel to inspect where their stone comes from and how it's processed. Fine smaller stone importers are experts in the marble and granite slabs they sell, and can answer any questions you may have about the stone's origin and how it is quarried and finished. Selection. Obviously, a stone importer with a large inventory offers you more selection. The best companies maintain a large showroom where you can go see various slabs and find out more about natural stone. When you visit, make sure that the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, that the staff can answer any questions you have, and that there is an infrastructure in place for paperwork and delivery. Most stone suppliers don't sell slab directly to homeowners; instead, they will "tag" your slab and notify your fabricator so that he/she can order it. Price. Marble and granite slab countertops are high-end choices, so they require a larger initial investment than most materials. However, beautiful natural stone elements add a great deal of resale value to your home. For that reason, it's important to select a quality slab, rather than opting for the least expensive piece of stone. Bear in mind that each stone slab is unique – a natural work of art. Choose a slab that will be a centerpiece for your kitchen and a natural hub for your home. Making Choices Once you've selected a stone supplier, you will need to make more choices! Granite or marble? A neutral shade or a vivid colour? Subtle patterning, or a bold statement? A good stone importer can help you with all of these decisions. Visit a stone importer's showroom today, and discover the natural beauty of stone. Back to Home

Taking a stand against a terrible act, Hollywood stars have joined the White House and President Obama in a new public service announcement on sexual assault.
The video, released on Tuesday (April 29) is part of the 1 is 2 Many campaign, which encourages men to step in if they see someone in danger of being sexually assaulted.
Giving fans even more to laugh about, the blooper reel for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" just hit the web today (March 15)!
Millions of movie fans have already enjoyed the second installment of Ron Burgundy's greatness, and now "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" is new and improved.
On February 28th, the "super-sized R-Rated version" of the flick will hit theaters including 763 new jokes (hence the new restricted rating).
It's one of the most anticipated children's movies of 2014, and Walt Disney Pictures just unveiled the first still from "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day."
The new image features "The Office" hunk Steve Carell and "Alias" babe Jennifer Garner, both of whom look pretty freaked out.
Heading out for a fun night of jokes and movie promotions, Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner made an appearance on "The Daily Show" with John Stewart.
Today is the day- "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" is now in theaters and Paul Rudd chatted with Spin Media about his character Brian Fantana.
Joined by Steve Carell, the "I Love You Man" actor explained that Fantana found his niche in the cat photography realm after his days on the Channel 4 News Team.
The Big Apple was the place to be last night (December 15) as "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" premiered at the Beacon Theatre.
Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner assembled their news team for the big event, posing for the press before they headed inside.

For the most part, Shien seems to perform really well (much better than the shitty default Shii-Cho anyway), but is it really making that big of a difference in PvP? Do I have to use Soresu to survive more than five seconds? That would gimp my spec pretty hard.
Brother-Captain Gaius wrote:lol @ two of the trees being non-tank then...
But that is what I've been noticing in PvP. I've been using Soresu and doing significantly better, though it's still a bit hit and miss.
Now I'm running into PvE problems though. Shien or Soresu, Kira seems to be more durable than I am in a fight. Anything with more than one silver guy + one regular guy, and I scrape by with about 10-20% health left afterwards depending on how much aggro Kira holds. And these are level ~28 dudes against my level 30...
WOG is that, unlike other MMOs, all classes will at least be viable as DPS at mid to late game. Guardians for example should only be about 5% behind Sentinels for end-game content. Whether they stick to this has yet to be seen.General Schatten wrote:Soresu is pretty much essential. Guardians/Juggernauts can never deal enough damage to match any of the other DPS classes so you need to focus on damage mitigation instead. If you're not using a tank build you've pretty much gimped yourself, they're all around outclassed by every other class unless you tank.
I'm mitigating this through orange gear with mods made by my guild-mates and my survivability to pretty damn good. The issue is that boss fights with multiple non-CCable mobs are impossible for us with me as tank.White Haven wrote:I think I mentioned this earlier. Tanks tend to slump in the late twenties to mid thirties or so. Their DPS is busy dropping off steadily due to points invested in non-hurty skills, but their survivability isn't really picking up to match due to the nonexistence of actual tanking gear, by and large.

I grew up in a small town where there was little diversity. In a way, I have always felt like it made me more open to different races and ethnicities. In fact, when I read Judy Blume's Iggie's House, I was appalled that the neighborhood would treat the Garber family the way they did simply because of the color of their skin.
This book was written over forty years ago, but have we come very far? It seems perhaps we have not. The fatal shooting of teen Trayvon Martin may be one example of how much farther we still need to go. Not knowing all the facts yet, if ever, it is hard to make that call.
Another example is the recent reactions some movie goers have had to characters in The Hunger Games. People are outright angered that the two tributes from District 11, Rue and Thresh, were cast with African-American actors, even though they are described in the book as "dark skinned"! The hurtful and hateful language they have tweeted is disturbing, to say the least. The scariest part about this is that many of the tweeters are (or were as many have removed their tweets) kids/teens! Interestingly enough, Anderson Cooper completed year long research for a special on AC360 entitled Kids on Race: The Hidden Picture airing this week. I was saddened by what these kids had to say. It seems we have not made many strides.
These incidences hit home for me in a very personal way; more so, I think, than it would have even just six months ago. I recently adopted a baby. She is African-American, and as I watched the news about Trayvon Martin and read the article about The Hunger Games, I was brought to tears. It did, however, remind me that I need to become even more aware that these things still happen and hopefully I will be better able to answer questions she may eventually have. I did try to prepare myself by reading others accounts even before I knew I would be adopting a non-white baby, but I realize never having lived through it personally, I cannot be fully prepared. I know the best I can do is raise her to be an open, loving, respectful person and surround her with the same.

Harrison Mooney Is The Internet's Biggest Creep
pics via
Words can't express how happy I am about this. Harrison Mooney is the biggest idiot on the internet. He writes troll blogs for Yahoo and constantly searches himself on Twitter, retweeting the people who get mad about his stupid articles. He's an asshole and an idiot. Oh and he hates Barstool. He thinks we're racist and misogynistic and all that. Here are some of his past thoughts on us…
BYAHAHAHHAHAHA. Hey Harrison, what exactly does it take to bring you pride in your sexuality? Is it constantly creeping girls out via direct messages? Making them fear you? Is that what real manly men do? Sorry I haven't lived up to your standards. I'm just one of those embarrassingly straight guys who respects women and since I don't think of them as my right I don't incessantly bombard them with direct messages about how beautiful their lips are. I'll try and be better, Harrison. I promise. Meanwhile you keep fighting for women's rights publicly while you privately harass them. You the real MVP bro.
PS – I love how quick he was to pull the race card. "Sure I creep girls out non-stop, that's what the internet is for. But someone called me the N word! What a place!"

GOLF: Stenson fires 6-under 64
ATLANTA — Tiger Woods and Henrik Stenson, the top two seeds in the FedEx Cup, could not have been more different in the opening round of the Tour Championship.
Stenson hardly missed a shot on the front nine. He had such control over his game that six of his first seven iron shots were 10 feet or closer to the hole. He converted five of them for birdies, added a 5-iron from 223 yards to 4 feet for one last birdie on the par-3 18th, and wound up with a 6-under 64 and a one-shot lead at East Lake.
Tiger Woods was the model of frustration.
He missed a short birdie putt on the opening hole that set the tone for a most unusual day. When it was over, Woods failed to make a birdie for only the seventh time in his PGA Tour career — three of them at East Lake. Woods opened with a 73, nine shots behind.
"It's a nice feeling to hit those kind of shots playing with the world's best player," Stenson said. "Normally, it's him who does it to everyone else, but it was kind of nice to throw a couple at him. We know he didn't have the best of days, and he's going to fight hard to try to come back into the tournament. It's still a long way to go, but it's always nice to perform the way I did when you're playing with the world's best player."
Woods walked off the course without speaking to reporters.
"I really knew I had to be in a good frame of mind coming out there if I wanted to play good golf this week," he said. "As some of you noticed, I wasn't that on Monday when I finished up in Chicago. So it was a good turnaround mentally."
More than feeling better about his attitude, Stenson was helped by feeling no pain in his left wrist. He suspects he slept it on wrong last weekend, and it reached a point where it hurt to hold a toothbrush. He played only nine holes of practice and iced his wrist and took anti-inflammatories. It seemed to have worked.

Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean that avid Department 56 collectors will be putting their collections away for the winter.
According to NBC Miami, about 100 local Department 56 enthusiasts known as the Village Landlords don't limit their displays to the Christmas season.
Members Jerry and Nancy Fernon told the news provider that they've spent thousands of dollars on their pieces since they began collecting them around 20 years ago.
"I could have bought a nice car," Jerry said.
Besides the artistry and care that all of the members bring to their displays, the Village Landlords actually give back to the community. As a non-profit organization, the group designates two local charities to receive funds that are raised from events each year.
In addition to holding tours of each others' collections, the group's monthly meetings feature guest speakers, demonstrations on setting up displays and wiring villages, display tips, hands-on display workshops and making vignettes using one or more houses.
In the off season, Village Landlords organize bus trips to hunt for new Department 56 pieces together.
Collections include Department 56 Dickens Village, Department 56 Snow Village, Department 56 North Pole and Department 56 Christmas in the City. Each collection features buildings and figurines common during the period the collection depicts.
Whether you're a collector or just looking to add a festive element to your holiday decorations, Department 56 has an ideal collection for you!

An Old Bailey judge piled pressure on the police to atone for their first bungled inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence by demanding they bring more of his killers to justice.
Sentencing two of the murderers yesterday, Mr Justice Treacy urged police not to shut down the murder inquiry and told them to be alert to the possibilities of new scientific advances. He also urged those "who have been silent so far" to come forward after 19 years.
"The convictions of Gary Dobson and David Norris will not, I hope, close the file on this murder," the judge said. "On the evidence before the court, there are still three or four killers of Stephen Lawrence at large."
Members of the Lawrence family will meet senior officers in the coming weeks to discuss whether the 23-strong investigation team remains together or is to be run down after two members of the violent racist gang were jailed.
Dobson, 36, who is currently serving a jail term for drug dealing, was sent to prison for a minimum of 15 years and two months. Norris, 35, was jailed for a minimum of 14 years and three months.
The family and police were not warned in advance about the judge's intervention and police and prosecutors say there are no live lines of inquiry. Prospects of further convictions are considered highly unlikely. Doreen Lawrence even spoke of moving on and "taking control" of her life again after nearly two decades of campaigning.
Two of the men named as main suspects in the years after the murder – Neil Acourt and Luke Knight – were acquitted during a private prosecution brought by the family in 1996. Any new prosecution against them would rely on "new and compelling" evidence being brought to light before Appeal Court judges could consider letting them be tried again for the same crime. Another suspect, Jamie Acourt, has never stood trial for the murder.
Acquittals have only been overturned seven times since the 800-year-old rule of "double jeopardy" for certain crimes was scrapped in 2005, including once for Dobson after the discovery of forensic evidence including a spot of blood on his jacket, that linked him to the killing. The evidence against the two men jailed at Her Majesty's Pleasure yesterday took years to amass and sources close to the case suggest the chance of anyone else being convicted was "non-existent" because of the unlikelihood of any new scientific breakthrough. A confession by anyone linked to the closely knit gang is also considered unlikely as disaffected members have never come forward in the estimated £30m investigation. Gary Dobson, seen as the weak link, has been secretly approached several times to try to persuade him to speak out against the other members. He always refused.
But police said last night that they were looking into new information received since the trial began. A Met spokesman said: "We have received a number of calls in light of the verdicts. This information will be evaluated."
The head of Scotland Yard, Bernard Hogan-Howe, said yesterday that "the other people involved in the murder of Stephen Lawrence should not rest easily" and that the case was being reviewed.
Officers will try to visit both men in the coming weeks to see if they will give further clues as to who was there on the night and who delivered the fatal blow.
Outside court, Stephen Lawrence's father, Neville, called on the two men to turn in others. He told a crowd of 200 people: "One of my greatest hopes is that these people now realise they have been found out, and are going to go and lie down in their beds and think that they were the whole ones who were responsible for the death of my son. And they are going to give up the rest of the people so I come here in a year's time and talk to you people again."Reuse content

Tesla's Model S Gets Highest Safety Rating from NHTSA, Breaks Roof Testing Machine
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Tesla received a combined rating of 5.4 stars
Tesla Motors
recently received the highest safety rating ever from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
NHTSA gave Tesla's Model S a five-star safety rating in each individual category and overall, achieving a combined rating of 5.4 stars. This is the highest rating ever given by the U.S. agency.
This is a big deal, considering NHTSA only gives about 1 percent of cars tested a five-star rating in every category.
According to Tesla, it grabbed such a high rating for a few different reasons. For starters, the Model S doesn't have a large engine block, which means there's a longer crumple zone to "absorb" a high-speed crash. The motor is only about a foot in diameter and is near the rear axle while the front has a second trunk.
For the rear crash test, Tesla made sure to protect occupants in the third row of the vehicle with a double bumper that can take a highway speed impact.
Tesla added that the Model S was about 50 percent better than its competitors in the rollover test. In fact, the Model S didn't roll over at all through normal methods; it took unique situations to actually turn it over, and Tesla said this is because the battery is mounted below the floor pan for a low center of gravity.
A particularly difficult test to pass, according to Tesla, is the side pole intrusion test, and the Model S was the only vehicle to get a "good" rating in that category among the other top 1 percent of the vehicles tested. This was due to the use of multiple deep aluminum extrusions in the side rail of the Model S, which absorb the impact energy and send the load to the rest of the car.
For those who are worried about battery fires, the Model S' battery was fine before, during and after testing.
But perhaps the most interesting part of the testing was when the Model S' roof broke the machine for roof crush protection. Check this out:
"Of note, during validation of Model S roof crush protection at an independent commercial facility, the testing machine failed at just above 4 g's," said Tesla. "While the exact number is uncertain due to Model S breaking the testing machine, what this means is that at least four additional fully loaded Model S vehicles could be placed on top of an owner's car without the roof caving in. This is achieved primarily through a center (B) pillar reinforcement attached via aerospace grade bolts."
Tesla is undoubtedly a superhero in the American electric vehicle (EV) industry. It started out with a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in June 2009. The loan, which was part of the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, was to be repaid by 2022. But in March 2013, Tesla received permission to pay the loan back five years early by mid-2017.
But in May of this year, Tesla has repaid the whole sum --
nine years earlier
than expected from the original 2022 due date.
Clearly, Tesla is making money. For
, Tesla reported a loss of $30.5 million (26 cents a share), which was much narrower than the $105.6 million ($1 a share) loss in the year-ago quarter. The automaker had an adjusted profit of 22 cents, which beat expectations of a non-GAAP loss of 17 cents. In the year-ago quarter, Tesla reported a profit loss of 89 cents.
Revenue jumped to $405.1 million compared to just $26.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Analysts expected a revenue of $383 million for Q2 2013.
Tesla has also started showing off new tech that could transform the electric auto industry. In June, Tesla unveiled a convenient alternative to waiting for a Model S to charge --
battery swapping
. The idea behind battery swapping is to easily open the car chassis to pull the battery out and replace it with a fully charged one. This saves the driver from having to wait for their battery to charge before traveling.
Tesla is also working on a charging system that would get drivers out of the Supercharger stations and back on the road with a full charge
in just 5 minutes

SSL certificates are a core security reassurance tool to create trust online. However, the introduction of low assurance SSL certificates began to erode trust in the market. It became clear that a new approach was needed to protect legitimate businesses.
Phishing, pharming and other threats undermined the essential ingredient necessary to any online transaction trust.
That is why browser providers and other certification authorities have worked together through out the last few years to create a new level of trust online through new browser based identity indicators.
Extended Validation or EV SSL Certificates To achieve a new level of trust.
SSL certificates are a critical building block for secure electronic commerce and one of the ubiquitous uses of public key infrastructure (PKI). SSL certificates provide three security services confidentiality, authentication, and integrity so that users can:
- Securely communicate with a Web site so that information provided by the Internet user cannot be intercepted in transit (confidentiality)
- Or altered without detection (integrity)
- Verify that the Internet user is actually at the company's Web site and not an impostor's site (authentication).
This latter point is fundamental to understanding the need for EV SSL Certificates. With the proliferation of low assurance, domain only verified SSL certificates, there was no assurance that a certificate that could verify organization "ABC Company, Inc.". The user has no means to find out that ABC Company, Inc. is the legitimate owner of an Web site named www.abccompany.com - or come to the conclusion that the site: www.abc-company.com is just a fake. Without this authentication security, phishing can emerge and phishers trick unsuspecting Web surfers into doing business with someone pretending to be ABC Company, Inc.
To purchase this next generation EV SSL Certificate, an organization has to go through a validation process that meets the Extended Validation Guidelines established by the CA/Browser Forum. In addition to confirming domain name ownership, the process includes authenticating the authority of the contact person requesting the certificate, verification of the business with government or third party business registries, and other methods to assure the legal and physical existence of the business
Why is this point important?
Since the early days of the internet, leading browser providers such as Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla or Opera have recognized the importance of identity assurance in SSL certificates and incorporated easy to understand icons (locks and keys) into their browsers to inform Web site visitors when an SSL session was invoked and consequently that their information would be secure in transit. Until recently, this simple approach worked well and facilitated the expansion of online commerce. However,changes in the SSL certificate marketplace pose a security risk with a potential threat to consumer confidence in the security of online commerce.
Newer guidelines will provide better consumer protection.
Till now, because of the way how SSL sessions have been displayed in browsers, phishers could potentially apply a padlock onto fraud sites through easily procured Low Assurance SSL Certificates. To close this security gap, Certificate Authorities (CA's) and browser vendors have taken action by giving consumers the means to distinguish between businesses validated High Assurance Certificates and domain only validated Low Assurance Certificates.
For example, in web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Comodo Dragon, users will immediately see the green address bar or green padlock when they visit a web site secured with EV SSL. A display next to the URL will toggle between the organization name and the certificate and the Certificate Authority that issued the SSL Certificate. The green bar means that a third party has validated the legitimacy of the business, the business right to use the domain name, and the High-Assurance SSL Certificate was legitimately obtained.

Firefox address bar for a site with an EV SSL
Chrome address bar for a site with an EV SSL

/// Apple Investors Are Still Wusses
After a meteoric rise, Apple's stock is falling back to earth. At market close Friday, Apple's share price had slipped to a little over $527. This after tumbling to $505.75 Thursday — some 28 percent off its September high of $705. That decline has shaved about $170 billion off the company's market capitalization, which was headed toward $660 billion just two months ago. A nasty plunge, and an oddly timed reversal of fortune for high-flying Apple, which is headed into the holiday season with one of its strongest product lineups ever: A new iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, new iPods, and refreshed Mac desktops and portables. What's behind the slump? It could be the overall markets, which have taken a vicious beating recently. It could be persistent supply chain issues that have to some extent hamstrung Apple from meeting robust demand for some of its devices — the iPhone 5 is still showing shipping times of two to three weeks on the Apple Store nearly two months after first going on sale; the new iPad mini is also backordered. The iOS Maps debacle and a high-profile management overhaul may have also shaken investor faith in the company. It could be that concerns over the "fiscal cliff" are weighing heavy on Apple as well. A number of hedge funds that count the company among their top holdings have been unloading some of their Apple shares . As David Greenberg of Greenberg Capital told CNBC, "Someone yelled 'fire' in the theater where the hedge funds were safely booking their year-end profits — and as traders do, they will trample you trying to be first to get to the exit." Meanwhile, individual investors are too timid at this point to rush in and buy up the stock the funds are selling off. Another possible factor: Apple is losing its appeal as a growth story as it morphs into a classic blue chip value story, as Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi recently theorized. "We believe that Apple is transitioning from a hyper-growth story to a more traditional, high quality branded company story," he recently told clients. Certainly possible. Apple did pay a quarterly dividend last week. And then there's that litany of other dubious concerns — the iPhone market is nearing saturation; innovation at Apple is dying; gross margins are declining; "Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs"; and so on — that while generally unfounded, can weigh on Apple's share price. In truth, it's probably a combination of all these things — that clichéd "perfect storm" situation that's so often blamed for volatility like this.
