Maximum volume levels go up, of course, with a headphone amp, allowing the connection of high impedance studio headphones as well as easy-to-drive earbuds and noise isolation designs. But as well as going loud, this amp delivers dynamics, and it delivers them by the JCB scoop-load. The opening to Mahler's 5th Symphony, for example, is a very difficult trick to pull off, requiring both subtlety and power, but the Voyager managed it without breaking sweat. The clarion call of the trumpet sounded clear and natural and the orchestral strike crashed in with and edge and power that I've never heard from an MP3 player on its own.
The bass from the Voyager is balanced and defined too, without being excessive, but even here if a fuller sound is your thing, or your headphones are a little lean, you can correct this by flicking the Contour switch on the side of the Voyager. Unlike equalizer settings on most MP3 players this boosts the bass without warping or degrading the sound quality.
I also own a home-brewed headphone amp based on the popular CMOY design, and while the Voyager can't match its sheer brute force and aggression it is far more forgiving and subtle, presenting the music in an unforced and 'easier to listen to' manner, yet without ever veiling the details.
And it'll pull off its tricks no matter what source you connect it to. I tried the Voyager hooked up directly to the stereo outputs on my high-end rack-bound CD player - a Unison Research Unico CD - and it did just as good a job. This highly revealing source, which makes use of a hybrid transistor/valve design, can be painfully revealing and difficult to listen to when paired with the wrong kit. I can't connect my CMOY headphone amp, for example, and listen to it for longer than a few minutes at a time, but with the Voyager the music is phenomenally involving and enjoyable. Hooked up to a PC, a Squeezebox and my home made DAC proved the point further with excellent performance in each case.
There's no denying that the Voyager is an expensive piece of kit. It's not very practical or good looking either. And there are far more economic ways of beefing up your portable audio experience - if you're happy to go with the DIY approach, you can buy a decent amp on eBay (such as the CMOY-based amp mentioned above) for a fraction of the price.
But if you want the best, at least in the world of high-end audio, you have to be prepared to pay for it, and this is undeniably there or thereabouts. For this level of quality, £179 to me sounds like a pretty good deal.
"Sounds" great, but I think it's priced too high. If it was 䀏, no question about it, I'd jump on it. But at 𧵫 with no discounts available anywhere, I'll pass.
I agree with Shaka's comment, but would prefer if this "Made in Barnsley" unit was not even 䀏, but closer to, say, 㿨. There are lots of similar - and dare I say - smarter-looking alternatives on Ebay and from Xenos(direct)in my desired priceband or even less.
Please do not slam a product just because of its 'looks'. Despite the looks it offers top-notch music, even comparable to the likes of household portable names like Ray Samuels Audio and Xin. And just FYI, the "cheap looking plastic" is ABS plastic - Graham apparently made the Voyager so that it suits its use : portability.
That you'll drop your portable rig, or slam it against some surface without knowing it. ABS is well known for its ruggedness and durability - and your "smarter-looking alternatives" metal casing may not save your money from going down the drain when you drop your 'alternative amplifier'
IMO you will *never* find an amplifier sounding even 50% of the Voyager's SQ @ 㿨. You can keep dreaming about it.
And I repeat, *never* slam a product based on looks alone. You might just lose out on a lot...
I´ve just had a bit of a spending spree and bought a 120gb classic ipod a Graham Slee Voyager Headphone Amplifier and a pair of Shure se530 earphones connected with an Audio Elevation i-Lead for Graham Slee Voyager. I live in Spain and am waiting for it all to arrive in the post. Once it´s all here and been listened in i´ll get back to you with my thoughts if it´s money well spent. What i´d like to know is if there is any kind of case available to carry the ipod and GSV together. Or any other advice. This is my first foray into "quality" musical equipment and don´t know if this is a good set up or not for the money.
Aidan - very interested to hear your feedback on the Graham Slee when you get it. I have a pair of sennheiser hd650 hooked up to my PC and also to my Amp and they are stunning. However, I do want to take them on business to the UK (I also live in Spain) and they don't do anything special without the kind of power a pre amp can chuck at them when hooked up to my ipod. Regarding a case - I hear that an elastic band is best for keeping them together - substance over style I think.
You never did get back to us Aidan. Anyhow, I have the exact same set up, which I've had for over a year now. Breathtaking is how I would describe the whole package. Jawdroppingly good. I use Apple lossless as you DO notice the compression with this rig. I use the contour switch for more bassy tracks, like Kanye West's Love Lockdown. Swimming in bass. And Pendulum's Slam is another great track. Dire Straits' Love Over Gold album is utter magic. Switch the light off, light down in bed and prepare to be transported into world of total musical submersion.
I have an 120gb ipod classic in a clear plastic case, attached to the Graham Slee Voyager using velcro coins. I rip CD's onto the ipod through i-tunes into Apple Lossless format. I use a SendStation Pocket Dock to bypass the ipod's EQ and take the signal straight into the Voyager with an Audio Elevation i-Lead. This bundle slides into a large Berghaus E-case which I attach to my belt, making the whole bundle about the size of an '80's Sony Walkman. Headphones are i-Grados. Sound is gobsmackingly good, as Aidan has no doubt discovered by now. Admittedly I'd like the music source bundle to be a little smaller, but the sound quality overrides the slight inconvenience of the belt pouch rig.
I like the http://www.headphoneedle.commonster headphones.. Don't know its price and type what...

"Boy Meets Girl" Mixed Bag Entertainment Releases Its First Single By Tj Pompeo
Mixed Bag Music a division of Mixed Bag Entertainment will release its first Single, a love song from recently signed artist TJ Pompeo just in time for Valentines Day.
Mixed Bag Entertainment artist, TJ Pompeo, will be releasing a new Valentine's Day EP entitled "Boy Meets Girl" on February 14th.
With production from award-winning R&B producer Kevin Touw and co-production from TJ himself, "Boy Meets Girl" will be a pure mixture of R&B, hip-hop and soul with a positive message discussing what it looks like to pursue a Godly relationship with patience, honor and virtue. Da' T.R.U.T.H. states, "With the success of TJ's song "If I Have To Wait (The Patient Pursuit)", we're really looking forward to the follow-up and seeing how listeners connect with the new songs!"
A mixture of hip-hop and pop; A blend of pop and soul; A fusion of soul and R&B; A mixed bag of sorts. The sound can't be put into a particular box, and TJ Pompeo likes it that way.
Currently residing outside of Washington D.C., TJ began writing and producing music when he was 15 years old, and during the summer of 2011, he embarked on his first tour around the nation.
Since then, TJ has traveled the world, performing in over 15 countries.

For TJ, music is an expression of his life. It's taking his everyday encounters and translating them through a tangible art form so that listeners can hear those words and immediately relate to them. With his motto being to "impact and inspire others to impact and inspire others", it's no doubt that TJ is extremely passionate about artistry and advancing a message of hope to every ear who comes across his music.

- - Rigging a tack for a drifter (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/10441-rigging-tack-drifter.html)
Rigging a tack for a drifter
My sloop has a furling forestay. I also have a drifter with a wire luff that we can rarely use because the only attachment point for the tack is behind the furler - inside the forestay. The halyard for the drifter is run thru a block at the head of the mast attached to a bail that''s above the forestay and the swivel assembly of the foil - normal for a spinnaker halyard. But the inside tack point prevents me from being able to properly jibe the drifter. I should also state that the drifter attaches only at the tack and the head - no luff in the foil or hanks on the forstay. And the foot of the sail is down all the way to the tack, so there''s no high foot like an asymm.
The furler/forestay is attached to a "chainplate" at the bow, and it has three attachment points - one forward and about 3 or 4" the bow deck, and two just behind (2 or 3") that are just barely above deck level. Right now the roller furler drum is attached at the forward position.
The options I have are to re-rig the forestay and attach it to the aft point. That would bring the stay back somewhat, moving the center of effort of the jib back as well. It probably won''t be enough to affect handling or require re-cutting my headsails. But it still won''t project the tack of the drifter out beyond the pulpit, so care would be still be needed when jibing. The other option is to rig some type of pole as a sprit.
Any ideas on my options - other than trading the drifter for a high-footed asymmetrical spinnaker? Would the loads be too great for a sprit pole without some type of downward "tack support" halfway down the bow, sort of like a miniature model of a tall ship''s bow with a long sprit?
Rigging a tack for a drifter
My only question is ''Do you have a bow roller?'' Very often people will use the pin in their bow rollers as an attachement point for a drifter or assymetrical cruising chute.
Rigging a tack for a drifter
Yes, but it''s off center. That would affect trim slightly, but probably not enough to really notice. My initial concern was that it may not take the upward force very well, but it''s worth a try.
And, of course, I have to make sure the luff and the sheets don''t get tangled in the bow nav light mounted on the pulpit. As they say, every boat is a compromise...

Campaigning for her mother Sonia Gandhi here, she also alleged that books with baseless material written about her family were being dumped a night before at places where her public meetings were scheduled.
Holding that the level of election campaign in the country has stooped down to a very low level, she said, "Politics is seen with a sense of service, but few leaders in the country do not think about that."
However, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's politics was not that to demand, but that of a sense of service, she said.
"He wants to give you strength. He also wants to give you power. There is a leader in the country, who wants power for himself. He keeps on demanding to strengthen him...," she said, targeting Modi.
"My father had a visionary political thinking and Rahul has learned from him. The parameter and strategy of Amethi's development was prepared by Rajiv Gandhi 35 years ago, this is the reason barren land is not visible here," she said.
Priyanka said that books containing false accusations against her family have been found at places where her public meetings have been scheduled.
"I have come to know that at places where my public meetings are scheduled some books are thrown a night before in which dirty and false things are written about my family. Those indulging in such activities are cowards," she said at Shahgarh Shaheed Chowk in Gauriganj Assembly area.
"If they have to say something, they should come in front of me and talk. Indulging in such activities at midnight is not justified," she said.

We do some dynamic SWF generation via mod_perl; there are some actionscript bytecode compilers under perl There's also a decent Python and Erlang library out there too. For anything dynamic, its pretty simple- you can merge swfs, do simple actions / var publishers as wrappers which load desgined flash files, etc. not very hard!

High yield credit default swap spreads widened yesterday. CDX.NA.HY.Series 8 and Series 9 were the most active on CMA's website. I'm not a CDS trader, but the curve is steep and could be flattening or default risk is being repriced on high yield credits (more info from @credittrader 1, 2).
From CMA Datavision's "Largest Widening Spreads" list on 3/1/2011
5-Year Mid CDX.NA.HY.Series 8: 117.02 basis points, +21.24 bps, +22.17%
5-Year Mid CDX.NA.HY.Series 9: 147.22 basis points, +12.00bps, +8.88%
On Markit.com they provide information everyday on the most recent series or "roll", which is currently CDX.NA.HY.Series 15.
3Y CDX.NA.HY: 276bps
5Y CDX.NA.HY: 407bps
7Y CDX.NA.HY: 440bps
10Y CDX.NA.HY: 427bps
To your left is a chart of 5Y CDX.NA.HY.Series 15. The red line is the index spread which rises when credit conditions deteriorate, or when curve and basis trades are being played.
CDS indices would be interesting to analyze if I could watch them trade on an exchange and chart out free data. On 9/19/2008, three days after Lehman went bankrupt, I charted out the investment grade credit default swap index future (CX: CBOT CDR Liquid 50 NAIG Index, post ). Unfortunately it never took off because it would've made the CDS market more transparent. It looks like banks are rolling out electronic platforms to trade CDS (Barclays, UBS, Credit Suisse), so we'll see what happens. The CBOE is coming out with Credit Event Binary Options (CEBOs) or credit options, which is a pure play on bankruptcy. See their website: http://www.cboe.com/micro/credit/introduction.aspx. The future looks bright for real-time credit ratings.

Intellectual life seems to breed snobbery as a central element of its petty-bourgeois class-consciousness. It is at work in relation to those outside the class fraction of intellectuals – 'I simply cannot understand how anyone would be able to talk with someone who doesn't read'; 'what's the definition of someone without a fistful of degrees? Homo Stupidicus'; and so on. Knowing, deep down, that we are marginal at best to the workings of society and politics, yet insisting that we are of the 'cultural elite' is a decidedly unhealthy element of that consciousness.
And it is at work among intellectuals themselves, at times to a refined degree. The snob will opine that such and such a doctorate can't be so good, since, well, you know, that 'university' has a nerve to call itself one at all. A snobbish selection committee will simply assume that some sociopath with congenital fascism from a 'well-known' institution is better than the brilliant applicant from the University of Woop-Woop. The snob assumes the birthright of a position at a university that meets his own high standing in the intellectual world, for, after all, the snobs at this beacon of light in the midst of the new dark ages will appoint only snobs, won't they? But if the snob finds, to her unending horror, that she does actually scrape into a position as the aforesaid University of Woop-Woop, then she will let it loudly be known that it was all a mistake, that she will be gone soon enough, that she will simply kill herself if she has to stay another minute.
And the snob assumes that the mark intellectual prowess is the fancy title you may accrue, such as the Jack the Ripper Distinguished Professor of Toe-Cutting and Other Sundry Skills for Winning Friends and Influencing People. Or the number of letters one may place after one's name, such as DSO (Dick Shot Off), OBE (Order of Bull and Excrement), RAPA (…). At any gathering, in any correspondence, the snob will introduce people only by means of their esteemed titles and pendulous acronyms. Of course, the snob reads articles only from mainstream, reputable, established journals, since that's where one finds ideas that are 'ground-breaking' will never challenge the status quo.

News How can the teacher experience be improved in schools? – open thread
Enhancing the student experience is often discussed, but what about teachers? What could make their life better in school?
After 35 years as an English teacher, a friend of mine's retirement speech was full of reflections on the joys of the profession.
From taking pupils to the theatre for the first time and sobbing at the end of Blood Brothers with year 9, to seeing students' excitement when sharing a wonderful text.
She said: "I remember a year 11 boy slamming down Of Mice and Men at the end after George had killed his brother and shouting 'No, that's not right, I'm not having that', then rushing out of the classroom before the rest of the class could see his tears. Their excitement manifested itself in so many memorable ways."
Students were understandably at the core of her speech. But she also had some choice words on the teacher experience. And there were a few things that she thought would make a big difference.
Number one: being able to go to the toilet. She said: "All women teachers probably have massively wonderful pelvic floor muscles, because you're stuck, you can't suddenly leave a class to go to the loo, and if you do find a chance to escape they're always horrible."
This was closely followed by access to a decent cup of tea. "By the time you've made your drink at break time, you then have to dash off to your next lesson, so the whole staff room is littered with half drunk cups of tea and coffee.
"Actually caring about what the staff room looks like and providing a drink at break time would go a long way."
A ban on members of the public unnecessarily scowling at school children when on school trips was also on her list, as well as a call for a quiet space to do work in school with a good computer.
How would you improve the teacher experience? No matter how extravagant or unrealistic, we'd like to hear what you think would change school life for the better. Whether it's time to eat your lunch, a comfy armchair or a bunker to hide from lesson cover requests, share your ideas below.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles currently being driven today. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Heater Hose to repair your car or truck. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Oldsmobile vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your car or truck. Anyone who drives a Oldsmobile knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
The technology to heat the passenger compartment of an automobile came long before one was invented. The engine of your Oldsmobile Toronado circulates liquid coolant throughout the block to absorb heat, and sends this liquid to the heater core (a small radiator) through a heater supply hose when you want to warm your vehicle's cabin. Oldsmobile Toronado heater hoses turn a negative side effect of normal engine operation (engine heat absorbed by coolant) and use it to provide passengers with a pleasant experience. The return heater hose re-introduces the coolant to the engine after it has heated the heater core so it can go back to the radiator.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Oldsmobile Toronado part for your needs. Bring your Toronado back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When your Oldsmobile needs the best replacement Heater Hose, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. When it comes to Oldsmobile Toronado Heater Hose parts, you can find them for 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

To Hudson Bay And Back: Inspiring Stories From Canada's North
Happy National Aboriginal Day, Canada!
Fifteen years ago, what is now widely considered to be one of the greatest Canadian films of all time was released. Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, was the first feature film ever to be written, directed and acted entirely in the Inuktitut language. The film recounts an Inuit legend of a warrior's courage and endurance in the face of an evil spirit afflicting his community. In one of the film's critical scenes, Atanarjuat,"'the fast runner," runs barefoot for miles across the ice fields of the eastern Arctic, fleeing the evil spirit that has plagued his community for years. Bravely, he lives to fight another day.
I was reminded of this memorable scene during a recent visit to Salluit, Nunavik, on the shores of Hudson Strait, where I met with members of the Salluit Running Club. Earlier this year, seven of them travelled to Hilo, Hawaii -- more than 7 500 kilometres away -- to participate in the Big Island International Half-Marathon. And guess what? There were some very "fast runners" among them, including Joanasie Genest Saviadjuk, 17, who finished in first place in the male 16-19 age group with an impressive half-marathon time of 1:48:49! Two other runners, Jason Alariaq and Lucasie Amaamatuak, also finished in the top five, and all seven participants have good reason to hold their heads high.
Why do I share this story on National Aboriginal Day? Because the Salluit Running Club is an example of something we don't hear enough of in southern Canada: a good news story from the North. And while it cannot and must not be forgotten that Salluit, like many northern communities, faces significant challenges -- including, most tragically, an alarmingly high number of youth suicides -- I encountered many reasons for hope during my visit to communities in northern Manitoba, Nunavut and Nunavik. Those fast runners from Salluit, who train so hard at the local Iqaliarsarvik Fitness Centre with the help of teacher and coach Maggie MacDonnell and numerous other coaches and mentors, were just one example.
Too often, Canadians think of the North solely in terms of challenges rather than opportunities.
Another good news story came out of Arviat, Nunavut, during my visit to John Arnalukjuak High School. It was there that I had the privilege of presenting the Governor General's Academic Medal to Shelby Angalik, a student who is achieving outstanding success in her studies and who I'm sure has a very bright future indeed. In addition to being a medal-winning wrestler and Arctic Winter Games flag bearer, Shelby founded a literacy program in Arviat that is helping children to read in both Inuktitut and English. And Shelby is just one of many students at the school who are making waves in the territory, not least through the school plays and videos they've produced in response to pressing social issues in their community. Look for a future great Canadian film to come out of Arviat!
I could go on and on about all the great initiatives I encountered during my visit, but I'll limit my enthusiasm to one more example, from Kuujjuaraapik, on the eastern shores of Hudson Bay. In that community, we visited the Centre for Northern Studies' Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuaraapik Research Complex to learn about its many research projects and to see how the centre shares knowledge with the local and scientific communities. Uniquely, Kuujjuaraapik is home to both Cree and Inuit populations, and researchers there are working closely with young people learn about biodiversity, climate change and other environmental issues, as well as how science and technology can lead to a better understanding of northern ecosystems.
What a wonderful story of Canada: Inuit, Cree and French- and English-speaking peoples working together for a better understanding of the environment, and a better future for all!
Too often, Canadians think of the North solely in terms of challenges rather than opportunities. But the communities I visited around Hudson Bay are home to thousands of smart, resilient and welcoming people, cutting-edge scientific research, and rich cultures and traditions. Not to mention some very fast runners! Today, as we mark the 20th anniversary of National Aboriginal Day, let's seek out and share inspiring stories from coast to coast to coast as we continue our efforts to build a better country for all.

text: Couple opening family fun center in Martinsburg August 26, 2012 Story Share By John McVeyThe JournalMARTINSBURG -- The BE-Hive: A Family Inspiration Place is the kind of place Robin and Mike Schaeffer wish their parents knew about when they were kids."It's a family fun center and incorporates great life principles -- it's the right thing to do for the community," Robin said recently at the future home of BE-Hive LLC in downtown Martinsburg.The Schaeffers are putting the finishing touches on their center and plan to open in mid-October. They are applying for nonprofit tax status for their company.Robin explained that the meaning of the name comes from "be," which means how to be in life, and "hive," which is a home -- comfortable and cozy.The BE-Hive will be open to families for events that feature various activities, such as music and dance presentations, magic and puppet shows, arts and crafts demonstrations, she said."Each event will be centered around one word," Mike said. "The song or dance presentations, for example, will be coordinated to focus on a theme." The showcased word would be one of 20 words that make up the great life principles, Robin said."The words are like rocket fuel for life," she said. "The opposite words are not rocket fuel -- they're like rocks."The principles have been gleaned from motivational books, education, church and other areas, Robin said.Donations are welcome. Make checks payable to BE-Hive LLC and mail to 516 W. John St., Martinsburg, WV 25401. "These are things we've collected from wise people -- there's nothing original here," she said. "We are not a church. This is not training. These are great principles."The goal is to get parents or caretakers of children to learn the principles through the entertaining programs and to apply the principles at home with their children, the Schaeffers said.Additionally, they are having BE-Town constructed, a three-dimensional main street that will be housed in the BE-Hive. BE-Town will have a bank where good relationships can be deposited; a candy store full of inspirational goodies; a bakery with cupcakes filled with inspiration; and other storefronts with other items. And it will all be for free. There will be no charge for families to attend the events.For now, the Schaeffers are paying for everything themselves."We're not in competition with anyone and there's no salaries," Robin said."There's no profit motive," Mike added."That's very freeing," Robin said.They hope to get the community and individuals to donate their time and energy toward the goals of the center as well as obtain grants and donations to operate. She is recently retired from condominium and property management in Washington, D.C., and he is semi-retired from the aerospace industry.They have lived in Martinsburg since 1995."We're crazy about Martinsburg -- we love the history and there's so much potential," Robin said. "We want to promote downtown to people in the suburbs of Martinsburg to come into town for the great shops. We want to attract families. Martinsburg is the place to be."

It was a remarkable day in federal court. The 9/26 defendants showed great courage and solidarity. Although, I paid my fine I wanted to go and give support.
A friend of mine reported earlier this evening that the defendants were still at the offices of John Norris,
Cindy Sheehan's attorney. NLG attorney Mark Goldstone is serving as attorney advisor for the defendants pro
se. The prosecution tried to screw the defendants by splitting them up their trials, and thus depriving
them of the defense they had already planned for. The judge first seemed to agree to this, but then
flip-flopped. The trial will continue tomorrow morning around 10AM at the Federal Courthouse at 3rd and
Mark Goldstone is our attorney in regards to the 2/8/05 protest I was arrested for at the lower steps of the Supreme Court. We are appealing the initial guilty verdict.
From today, here is the most recent AP story:
Sheehan to Return to Court for Second Day
By ELIZABETH WHITE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - War protester Cindy Sheehan and several others return to court Thursday for the second day of trials on misdemeanor charges of demonstrating without a permit outside the White House.
The protesters, who are being tried separately in one proceeding, took turns questioning police and arguing their cases Wednesday afternoon in front of U.S. Magistrate Alan Kay.
Charges against at least nine were dismissed, leaving about 30 protesters facing possible fines but no jail time if found guilty by Kay. The maximum fine each faces is $500.
Before the trial began, Sheehan announced plans to return to Texas next week to resume her anti-war protest near President Bush's Texas ranch, despite new county ordinances banning roadside camping.
Sheehan, who is expected to testify before Kay Thursday, was arrested with about 300 other anti-war activists Sept. 26 as they wrapped up a weekend of protests in Washington. It was the city's largest anti-war demonstration since the Vietnam War.
"If we stick together as an American people we can bring down the war criminals that are running our country right now," Sheehan told reporters at the end of the first day of the trial.
Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son Casey, a soldier, was killed in Iraq last year, and a dozen supporters are prepared to be arrested when they return to their makeshift campsite along the road leading to Bush's ranch, where he is expected to spend the holiday.
In August, Sheehan spent 26 days camped near Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch, where he was spending a working vacation.
A month later, McLennan County, Texas, commissioners approved new ordinances prohibiting parking on parts of 14 roads near the ranch - roughly a 5-mile radius - and banning camping in any county ditch. The laws also ban portable toilets in ditches.

Chapter 1 (Casady)Mature
Casady walked down the hallway, searching for room 1128. Glancing down at the map in his hands, Casady refreshed his memory. He had to take this hallway down to the very end. Room 1128 would be there. Once he got there, he would join all the other newcomers to learn which group he would belong to.
Shuddering, Casady surveyed the building around him. The walls were white, the ceiling was white, the doors were white, the floor was white - goodness, even the doorknobs were white!
The entire place struck Casady as mysterious and foreboding. Even worse was the knowledge that he was misplaced. Sure, he now belonged to the Songmakers Force, but something about it felt all wrong. Something about it made him want to turn and run.
Yet that was not an option. If the Songmakers had made anything clear, it was that Casady had to remain a part of their force. Otherwise...
Otherwise, terrible things would happen.
The fact that Casady was still groggy from surgery didn't help at all. Just hours before, he'd undergone a surgery that had depleted his mind of all his memory. He'd been stripped of his identity.
But for some reason, the knowledge that Casady couldn't remember anything about his past...it didn't really matter. He found himself uncaring that he didn't know his real name. For some reason, the only thing that really seemed to matter was room 1128. Everything else seemed less important.
The idea that Casady had experienced something similar to this before - something similar to the all-white surroundings and the eerie quietness - niggled at the back of Casady's brain. Yet he refused to let himself be bothered. After all, if what everyone said was right, then wasn't it an honor to be chosen by the Songmakers Force as one of their Singers? Shouldn't he be thrilled to be a part of this movement?
Finally finding room 1128, Casady stared at the sign on the door. It read all the names of the newcomers. And there was his name - Casady Conlin, age 22.
Of course, all that information was probably bogus. Casady's name wasn't really Casady, and he probably wasn't 22, either. But it didn't really seem to matter.
Pushing open the door, Casady found himself among many other newcomers. They all looked like how he felt: confused, eager, yet somehow still apathetic.
One girl in particular caught Casady's eye. She was short, curvy, and had bright purple hair. Something about her made Casady feel more comfortable. Maybe she would turn out to be a kindred spirit.
A voice belted out over the loudspeaker. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Songmakers Force welcomes you to the first of many gatherings!"
The whole place exploded with applause. Casady joined in, since it seemed like the most appropriate action.
With that, all apprehension was swept from Casady's mind.

The Broken Beast: FourMature
Had he seen the same sadness she had seen in his eyes? That question bugged Lucy the entire day as the school hours rolled by slowly. She thought about it, her friends, Rebecca and Ashley, have told her countless of times that she was very pretty and beautiful and every guy would love to be with her and yet, she was lonely and the jocks won't get near her, let alone talk to her. She had what every preppy girl had and every common girl desired, good looks, good height, and popular friends. But she felt empty and a gnawing feeling that maybe this wasn't the life for her.
School finally ended, Ashley and Rebecca suggested they went to the Mall but she wasn't in the mood. She walked home by herself and expected to find Christian at the corner. She did find him there, leaning against the wall, making him look so inviting. He looked up and smirked, Lucy smiled back. They began what Lucy never thought possible, a friendship. They wouldn't talk to each other during school hours, it was Lucy's request, but they would stroll home together and talk about their lives. There was always something that Lucy left out and she felt Christian was doing the same. They texted every night before going to sleep and occasionally spent hours on the phone talking to each other. It was one afternoon, when they decided to take the long way home through the desolated park, that questions began to fire up, making Lucy uncomfortable.
"Tell me, why are your scars so fresh?" Lucy asked Christian, she had noticed the several cuts and healed scars in his wrist but she had never dared to ask, beside, he always had the sleeves of his leather jacket to cover them, but today his sleeves were pulled up as if inviting her to inquire about them.
"You should know it better than anyone," he told her, "for the pleasure of it, for the feeling that you had conquered death and lived one more day to prove to yourself that you aren't bound to die just yet."
Lucy traced her wrist; her skin was smooth where before it was rough and scarred. She had never told Christian about her life before joining the preppy girls but she supposed he had figured out by himself and he was waiting for my explanation. "I couldn't take it anymore," she said in a whisper, old memories were resurfacing the fragility of her mind, "I wanted to let me bleed to death but I was too scared." She began to shivered, "but I am afraid that by not dying I have become a monster." The sobs that she contained for over one year erupted from her chest and she broke down before Christian. Her shoulders shook violently and she felt arms wrap around her, surrounding her in a tight and warm embrace. This time she didn't think of Rick, it was only Christian that existed.
"What happened?" he asked, stroking her hair. He looked deeply concerned and genuinely worried. "You are not a beast, you are very beautiful."
She shook her head, "can't you see I'm broken?" It was so warm to stand so close to him.
"I know you are," he startled her with his words.
"What do you mean?"
"I know that beneath the make-up and dress-up of the preppy girl you appear to be, lays a broken girl with deep wounds running the length of your heart. But I also know that beneath the shattered glass there is a life. The broken girl being the beast is an out-dated term; after all, you can find beauty in every piece of broken glass."
Lucy sniffed and looked up at Christian, "you say very profound words and yet you can't help but cut yourself every night."
"Because I can't find the person that would stop it," he whispered, inching his face close to her, "but last night, when I held the razor to my wrist, I let it fall to the sink without a droplet of blood because one image crossed my mind and one name caressed my lips. Yours."
Tears of happiness rolled down Lucy's cheek. She had finally found the person that find value to broken things and was willing to work to fix them up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tight, not for dear life, but to give support and be supported. She had finally found the person that could bring her back together and he had found the person that could hold him from breaking.

Forest 4-3 Burton Albion
A brace from Britt Assombalonga helped Nottingham Forest to a 4-3 win over Burton Albion in a thrilling opening-day encounter at The City Ground.
Assombalonga gave Forest the lead, only for Burton to hit the front themselves through strikes from Lucas Akins and Lloyd Dyer but Thomas Lam restored parity in first-half stoppage time.
Goals from Oliver Burke and Assombalonga then seemingly gave The Reds a comfortable three points but Tom Naylor struck in the final minute of normal time to throw the result back into the balance.
But Forest held on to claim the victory on the opening day and give them a confidence boost ahead of tough Championship trips to Brighton and Brentford in the next ten days.
Philippe Montanier named his first starting line-up for a competitive fixture as Forest boss and he gave starts to five academy graduates with Ben Osborn, Jorge Grant, Oliver Burke, Matty Cash and Alex Iacovitti all in the side.
Thomas Lam and Hildeberto Pereira also made their Forest debuts while former Reds striker Chris O'Grady lined up for Nigel Clough's newly-promoted Burton Albion side.
Burke caused the visitors problems in the early stages as he volleyed well wide from Iacovitti's left-wing cross before his delightful ball into the penalty area had to be hacked away to safety by Albion defender Ben Turner.
Assombalonga curled a speculative effort over the crossbar but soon after Forest were hit by a blow. De Vries collided in mid-air with Akins and took an awkward fall which saw him stretchered off and replaced by Stephen Henderson.
The Reds had the lead midway through the first half as Assombalonga opened his account for the season. Grant sent a shot towards the far corner and the Forest striker was on hand to tap the ball home from close-range as the assistant referee's flag stayed down.
The atmosphere inside The City Ground was electric but Burton soon punctured that with an equaliser in similar fashion. Forest struggled to clear a corner and as the ball bobbled around inside the box, Akins stabbed it past Henderson to level the scored.
Forest were stunned and were then behind three minutes later. O'Grady played the ball back to former Leicester winger Dyer on the edge of the box and he curled a shot past Henderson's grasp and in to the far corner to put the visitors ahead.
Yellow cards came for both sides as the game got even more competitive. Henri Lansbury was cautioned for Forest while Turner and Hamza Choudhury were the Burton men to go into the referee's notebook.
Montanier's side stepped up the pressure in search of an equaliser and were rewarded in first-half stoppage time. Osborn's corner were cleared out only as far as Lam and the summer signing sent a sweet low strike in to the net as Jon McLaughlin was left stranded.
New signing Pajtim Kasami replaced Grant at the break and Forest were in front again four minutes into the second half. Kasami saw two efforts blocked by the Burton defence but with the second, the ball fell kindly into the path of Burke who stroke the ball into the far corner.
Burton were still looking dangerous at the other end though and it took two goal-saving challenges from Matt Mills and Hildeberto to prevent O'Grady from levelling the scores once again from inside the penalty area.
Forest finally looked like they had settled a helter-skelter game with 13 minutes to play as Assombalonga grabbed his second goal of the game. Hildeberto's powerful strike hit a Burton defender, looped up and over McLaughlin and Assombalonga was on the spot to head home on the goal-line.
The goalscoring wasn't finished and The Brewers gave themselves a lifeline in the final minute of normal time as Naylor headed home an inch-perfect cross from Choudhury to ensure their would be plenty of nerves around the ground in stoppage time.
But Forest held on to claim an important opening-day win and give Montanier his first competitive victory in charge of The Reds ahead of Tuesday night's EFL Cup first-round tie away at Doncaster Rovers.

Hanasaku Iroha - Episode 24 Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Hanasaku Iroha, Episode 24.
Thread Guidelines
HSI 24 - The Author of the Machinations That Set the World in Motion
Rock on, Jiromaru! I didn't know he dabbled in manga, too. A true Renaissance man, in some senses of the word. Even if Ohana didn't say exactly what she wanted to, it's getting much less ambiguous. A date at the festival is romantic enough to qualify, I think. As for the thrust of the episode, Sui's speech, mixed feelings here. Following your own dream and not getting bogged down by someone else's past is indeed a worthy goal, but the Kissuiso group is also a pretty strong group of friends. To suddenly break that up doesn't seem completely fair either. Both sides have a point on this one, so I'll just wait and see which side the show itself falls on. On a final note, no Sui fanservice, thankfully. She's too quick for anyone to notice it. Mad bathroom cleaning skills, though.
Wow, a revolt. Given the title of this episode, this is not quite unexpected.
And that was as good as a confession on Ohana's end finally. Now to see if Kou does show up during the Bonbori and the events that will transpire.
Lol at the bath scene. The BGM was so Jaws-like. :heh:
Now it's Sui vs the rest of Kissuiso, with Ohana in the middle. Both sides does have their reasons. Hopefully, 2 episodes is enough to wrap everything up.
Oh my, Sui fanservice :heh:
She bathes like a boss. That scene was so surreal and funny.
I wish they had let Nako speak her mind to Sui instead of having Ohana do it as always. Nako was more fired up than ever, and I believe her speech would have had more of an impact on Sui. When even the shy and gentle character gets pissed off, you know something's wrong.
Sui's reason for closing down the inn is understandable, but she is mistaken. She needs to realize Kisuisso brought happiness to a lot of people (from workers to customers) and that it's not just her dream anymore.
The reveal that Jiromaru is the one who wrote the manga that inspired Tohru and Minko to become cooks were pretty... traumatizing :heh:
I bet the series will end with him going back to manga, he'll make a manga depicting the daily life of a waitress at an inn which will be titled "Hanasaku Iroha"
Good episode, but I'm starting to worry that we're headed for a lame Ohana-and-Kou-take-over ending. Between Kou saying he doesn't like Tokyo anymore and how cool the inn seemed, and Sui's talk about how she and her husband had no idea how to run an inn when they took over, the writers are practically bludgeoning us with clues. Hopefully they're just trolling.
wow madam manager is super fast with her bath, takes less then a minute. This is probably the first time I wanted some women's body to be covered up in a bath scene. Ohana didn't talk to her mother in Tokyo but instead talk to Ko, and invited him to the festival. I think at the festival, Ohana will tell Ko, that she has a crush on him. I don't think Kissuiso will close down but maybe renamed, if not renamed will still be operational after the festival.
Ko having even less presence than Akarin.
A bath scene having not enough steam.
And the preview having yuri text for the straight girls.
Oh what would i do without my weekly dose of troll. :heh:
It's a mutiny!
I'll only believe in KouXOhana when I see it,though I cared more for the rest of the episode anyway.
The bath scene was epic,one of the best laughs I've had in quite a while,same with the revelation on who the manga author was!
Only disapointment is the absence of Yuina cameo,normaly the writers always manage to stick her in there somehow
Ohana walking like a boss :cool:
I should have figured that the Kohana segment would be a bit anti-climatic, given the extremely long wait for it to happen =0\. And somehow, her thinking about the situation at the same time Ko was talking seemed...I dunno, sloppy directing? Kinda gave an impression she wasn't really listening to what he was saying.
Also a bit proud of Enishi growing some balls and standing up to Okami. I still don't like his char very much, and his design at all, but taking things into his own hands shows he's more than just a momma's boy and can think for himself.
I was Ko/Ohana supporter but after seeing this episode...
Why Okada likes make a fool of every man of the story?
So that more fans will be encouraged to make yuri doujins? :p
Ohana & Ko reunion and her return to Kissuiso to find the place booming!
Guess there is still hope ^^
The part at the bath was pretty weird, but also kinda funny. That ookami-san sure is a fast & efficient one! Getting her to keep the inn open is a different matter though.
(B) The Ko/Ohana relationship is seriously underdeveloped. This isn't like Clannad or Toradora! where the main couple has been through a lot together and shown their love for each other. It's a couple teenagers who have a crush on each other. If you add up all the scenes they've shared, I doubt you'd be able to fill one entire episode. I'd be fine with an ending where they're dating, but it'll be too much if the show goes a route where they're going to be together forever.
That bath scene was hilarious. I felt like it was her way of saying "You think you can run the Kissuiso? You're 100 years too early!"
Loved it. Especially the complexity of why Okami-san wants to close the inn, and of Ohana not understanding, and of the siblings, and of will it/won't it close, etc.
"Seriously undeveloped" is a good way of putting it. Kou is like almost not there -- but he still has a strong relationship with Ohana. She is seriously weird. I found the scene with them at the playground frustratingly Japanese/restrained, but not at all poorly directed (or actually written/storyboarded?).
I wonder how Takako's mission to get back the money went? Would they do better in the city? Enishi really is unsuited for the task of running the Inn, as his mother said. But Tomoe could do it.
Will Kou end up coming to Kissuisou or Ohana go back to Tokyo?
I definitely agree KoHana is underdeveloped. They're hinting at a Ko x Ohana x Kisuisso ending but if that happens it won't be very believable. Here's hoping that's just a troll.
Forgot to say I laughed pretty hard when Ko said "I thought you had dumped me for Kisuisso" since he's completely right :heh:

The Transformation Of Lindsay Lohan's Face [VIDEO]
A new video on YouTube compiles photographs of Lindsay Lohan throughout her 25 years, morphing them together in one graphic minute-long clip.
It shows her time as a child, through to her first starring role as a 13-year-old on The Parent Trap, and into her more recent years, which have been marred by bad publicity and trouble with authorities.
The video's creator says it shows 'the shocking effects of drugs and alcohol on one of Hollywood's brightest rising stars".

Rose is orphaned. Her legal guardian is her Uncle Alec. She moves to the "Aunt Hill," the home of six aunts and seven cousins, all of whom are male. Her color is pale, but Uncle Alec prescribes sunshine and play. She must also learn to eat oatmeal and not drink coffee, among other changes. The book was pretty progressive for its time. Even though today's children will not relate to much of what takes place, it can still be enjoyed within its historical context. Alcott did a remarkable job with characterization. This is one reason the novel stands the test of time.
Eight Cousins or The Aunt Hill by Louisa May Alcott; (4*); ROOT, 10/01/2009; VMC; (Puffin Classics); purged
Loved it! This is a wonderful story about a young girl overcoming depression, fighting against loneliness and the social restrictions of the era. A kind, forward-thinking uncle takes Rose under his wing after the death of her parents. Despite protesting the strange and shocking lifestyle changes she's asked to make she finds that her life is changing and she is becoming a healthy and happy person. She is the sole female child in the family amid seven rowdy boy cousins.
Rose befriends a household servant, ignoring class lines so prevalent at the time. As she allows others to help her grow and learn, the people around her are affected by her changes, her inner beauty and are also changed.
This is a wonderful read for anyone, but especially youngsters, who might be struggling with self image or sadness issues. Alcott writes so wonderfully.
Very similar in style to Alcott's Little Women but lacking much of the substance (perhaps because Rose doesn't reach adulthood in this book). I enjoyed listening to the free LibriVox audiobook of this as light relief from my somewhat serious books at the moment but I don't think that it would be a satisfying adult book otherwise. The stories about little Rose & her 7 boy cousins were sweet but Alcott's moralizing tone at times is a bit hard to take.
Rose, a young orphaned teenager, lives with two great-aunts who love her but have little idea how to help her stay healthy and mature. Her Uncle Alec is her legal guardian, and decides to give her plenty of fresh air and good food, and also to encourage her to spend time with her seven cousins - all boys, of varying ages.
It's many years since I first read this book, and I'd pretty much forgotten what it was about. It's obviously dated, with authorial asides typical of the era (it was first published in 1875), and some parts that seem extremely sexist.
But still, a good light read. Particularly recommended for anyone - adult or teenager - who enjoyed Louisa M Alcott's other books such as 'Little Women' and its sequels.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140374566, Paperback)After the death of her father, orphan Rose Campbell has no choice but to go and live at the 'Aunt Hill' with her six aunts and seven boy cousins. For someone who was used to a girl's boarding school, it all seems pretty overwhelming, especially since her guardian Uncle Alec makes her eat healthy things like oatmeal, and even tries to get her to give up her pretty dresses for more drab, sensible clothes. Will Rose ever get used to her Uncle's strange ideas and all her noisy relatives? Will there come a day when she can't imagine living anywhere else?

Rules for trading, planting GM food items
Be careful what you do with the seeds of the fruit and vegetables you eat - they could land you in jail.
Under a new law, anyone who keeps the seeds of genetically modified (GM) food items and plants them in their garden or plot without government permission will commit an offence punishable by six months' imprisonment.
The law applies even if they did not know they were GM items.
Green Foundation director Chan Choi-hi said those practising small-scale farming in the New Territories might inadvertently break the law.
'Many papayas are now genetically modified. Not knowing the source of the fruit, a person can be sent to jail for planting the fruit for leisure or personal use,' Chan said.
Under the law, a GM organism intended for release into the environment cannot be exported or imported without the government's approval.
Consumers can still buy or consume GM organisms, or feed them to animals, but they may be in breach of the law if they keep the seeds for planting because it means allowing the GM crop to enter the soil and affect the environment. The law empowers officials to search vehicles, commercial premises and homes for unauthorised GM products.
Otata Lai, marketing executive of Hai Kang Life, a biotech testing company, said the industry stood to gain from the legislation since traders could no longer import or export products without checking for GM elements. 'Many traders do not know the source of their products or whether they have been genetically modified or not. After the legislation is passed, they will have to go to companies like us for testing,' she said.
Chan said the law would not have much effect on ordinary citizens since there is no law requiring the labelling of food made with GM ingredients.
'The labelling system is so far voluntary and many consumers still don't know whether the food they eat is genetically modified or not,' he said.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Failure to read service terms / contract
SUBMITTED: Thursday, May 09, 2013POSTED: Thursday, May 09, 2013
Please do not blame us for YOUR failure to read the service contract you agreed to upon signup.
Now where in our contract , or our website, does it state that we offer refunds for services rendered.
In fact, several places on our website, including one of the the first questions in our FAQ, clearly state that we do NOT offer refunds, money back guanatees, or free trial periods:
https://www.burst.net/faq-general.php states:
"Is there a trial period or money-back guarantee?
No. BurstNET® services do not come with a trial period or money back guarantee. The reason is that since BurstNET® is such a high bandwidth service, if we were to offer such a refund policy, too many individuals will utilize a full month's service and cancel to avoid the bill. Also, due to the sheer amount of orders BurstNET® generates, we feel our time would be best spent provisioning and providing support for legitimate, long-term clients only. A trial period or money-back guarantee is just not practical due to the amount of time our staff spends on each order/client. The only exception to this would be if BurstNET® specifically advertises a sale with such, or adds such a clause to a custom quote or contract."

Feb. 28: American session
Tatiana Norkina , FBS analyst
Today after a FOMC member Fisher's speech dollar index fell sharply by almost half a percentage point. Quarterly U.S.GDP data negatively affected the situation. According to the statistics, in the last quarter GDP grew by only 2.4 %, while analysts had forecast an increase to 2.5%. However, the manufacturing sector in Chicago showed growth: PMI slightly less than 60 points, which even exceeded the indicators of last month. This is somewhat restrained the fall of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. So, EUR/USD pair is reduced in the area of 1.3785, after the formation of the daily maximum of 1.3823. GBP/USD pair has rebounded from 1.6726 level and is now trading at 1.6700 figure. A little later, the market will wait the speech of FOMC member Stein, and then – the head of Bank of England Mark Carney.
The pair USD/CHF has formed a new minimum of 0.8790 in the last two years. Currently bulls correct course in the 0.8815 area. Currency pair USD/JPY reversed from the support of 101.50 and is now recovering in a region of strong resistance of 102.25.
Sudden movements are seen for the USD/CAD currency pair. Today the pair again stumbled on resistance 1.1145-1.1150 and collapsed to the 1.1080 area.

Kamana O Kala, LLC – Notice - Updated
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 07, 2014POSTED: Monday, April 07, 2014
Date: March 30, 14
Regarding: Summary to date of Kamana O Kala, LLC Known Actions
The following is a summary of the actions by Kamana O Kala, LLC that have been uncovered during investigations to support legal actions taken and/or lay the foundation for future dealings with them.
On March 14, 2014 the Energy Trust of Oregon removed their "Trade Ally" status and canceled six of their projects after receiving documentation about their business practices. (The Email from David McCleland, ETO Solar Program Manager is available upon request from email@example.com)
As of the end of March there are outstanding labor claims for unpaid wages against Kamana O Kala, LLC in two of the three states they do business in. (Copies of filings have been provided by former employees in Oregon & Louisiana. Online verifications will be available upon decisions by the Labor Boards.)
Kamana O Kala, LLC management and several senior staff are violating previous employment agreements by pursuing customers of Lite Solar, LLC as evidenced in a UCC Filing by Craft3 for project funding. The UCC filing includes contracts with 3 Lite Solar customers. (Copies of the UCC filing, Pat Schellerup Executive Employment Contract, Letter to Kamana O Kala employees, and pre-existing customer contracts are available upon request from email@example.com.)
Kamana O Kala, LLC submitted documentation to Craft3 to support financing for a project with Reed College as evidenced by the UCC filing in Attachment 2, however, Reed College claims that they did not execute a contract with Kamana O Kala which raises the question of who signed the contract on behalf of Kamana and Reed College for the Craft3 funding? (Copies of the Reed College email are available upon request from email@example.com)
Kamana O Kala LLC has abandoned three leased properties in two different states accumulating over $50,000 in unpaid back rent. (Addresses = 2517 Mailwell, Milwaukie, Oregon – 14025 Airport Way, Portland, Oregon, in lake Charles , Baton Rouge, LA.)
Kamana O Kala LLC has installed panels that belong to Lite Solar & Totalis Energy on at least three different projects without the authorization from the owner of the panels. (Cascade Christian High School, Medford Oregon, Spot Properties on 2929 MLK Blvd, Portland, Oregon, and Waianae, Hawaii.)
In January of 2014 a lawsuit was filed against Kamana O Kala, LLC regarding issues including the unauthorized storage of Lite Solar/Totalis equipment, and solar panel assets is pending. (Copies of the lawsuit are available from email@example.com upon request.)
There are a list of other issues and activities that are currently being researched to gather documentation, declarations and affidavits so that those issues can also be made public. Any business or party seeking to do business with Kamana O Kala should do their own duedilligence.
