Masonite Adds Michigan Door Maker
Masonite Inc. has acquired substantially all of the assets of Lifetime Doors Inc., a manufacturer of interior flush doors, including molded, veneer, prefinished, and bifold products. Based in Farmington Hills, Mich., Lifetime was founded in 1947 by William Gilbert. Terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
"Lifetime is a natural fit for Masonite," states Larry Repar, Masonite's executive vice president and COO. "Lifetime's geographic coverage, along with strong customer relationships, will complement Masonite's operations and create exciting new opportunities for our customers, employees, and suppliers and enable Masonite to continue delivering on its strategic growth initiatives."
"We are excited to join the Masonite team," says John Hauss, Lifetime's president. "Masonite's business provides customers with innovative products and industry leadership on a worldwide scale. We look forward to partnering with Masonite to serve our current and future customers and to achieve our long-term business goals."
A 20-plus year veteran of the molded door industry, Hauss remains with Masonite in a senior advisory role. Key members of Lifetime's sales organization will also join Masonite.
This acquisition is the fifth transaction executed by Masonite this year. In March, Masonite acquired Ledco Inc., an interior door manufacturer based in Kentucky. In June and July, Masonite closed three additional transactions designed to establish the manufacturer as a leader in the fast-growing molded door market in India.

Thirteen Named to Tennis All-Academic Teams
Related Links
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The America East Conference office announced the 2012 America East Tennis All-Academic squads Wednesday afternoon. The teams feature 13 student-athletes, six women and seven men, who represent the best of the America East Conference, both on the court and in the classroom.
The America East men's champion Binghamton University leads the way with three selections to the squad. Senior Alexandre Haggai (St. Denis, Reunion Island/Lycee Bellepierre), the 2012 conference Player of the Year, makes his first appearance on an all-academic team. Haggai's younger brother Ruben (St. Denis, Reunion Island/Lycee Bellepierre) and junior Ruben Devos (Keerbergen, Belgium/Sint-Rombouts College), both first-time selections, complete the Bearcat trio. Each of the three Bearcats are all-conference performers.
Another all-conference performer, UMBC senior Joe Adewumi (Phoenix, Ariz./North Canyon), earned All-Academic status for the third time and is joined by Hartford senior Aneil Bhalla (Ottawa, Ontario/Merivale), also an all-conference player, as the only repeat selections to the men's squad.
Stony Brook senior Roope Kailaheimo (Helsinki, Finland/Mäkelänrinteen Lukio) and sophomore Nikita Fomin (Moscow, Russia/Bradenton), the 2011 Rookie of the Year, round out the men's squad.
The women's all-academic team consists of two repeat selections. Boston University senior Monika Mical (Stalowa Wola, Poland/Spoleczne Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace) and Binghamton senior Marina Bykovskaya (Saratov, Russia/Secondary School 8) both were named to the team last year while Bykovskaya earns her third All-Academic selection.
Bykovskaya is also among among four all-conference selections on the all-academic squad. UMBC sophomore Kim Berghaus (Offenbach, Germany/Leibnizgymnasium), the 2011 Rookie of the Year, and Boston U. sophomore Leonie Athanasiadis (Haltern am See, Germany/Joseph Koenig Gymnasium) both earned second team all-conference honors. Athanasiadis along with Stony Brook senior Katherine Hanson (Smithtown, N.Y./Hauppauge) were second-team all-conference doubles performers this season as well.
University at Albany junior Sarah Iannone (North Vancouver, B.C./Seycove Secondary School) picked up the remaining spot with her first selection to the all-academic team.
The All-Academic squads are a product of the June 2005 Athletics Director meetings, where faculty representatives and athletics directors from each of the conference's nine member institutions decided to honor the league's top student-athletes, whom excel equally in the classroom as they do on the playing field.
For the fourth straight year, America East will select the All-Academic teams using CoSIDA's Academic All-America program as a model. Student-athletes worthy of consideration are nominated by member sports information directors and voted on by a committee of SIDs, academic advisors and faculty representatives from all nine member institutions.
All-Academic squads for team sports are based on the number of athletes that participate in a contest at one time, for example, six student-athletes in the sport of tennis. To be nominated for the distinction, student-athletes must be a starter or important reserve for their team and participate in at least 50 percent of their team's games or competitions. In the classroom, student-athletes must have a 3.30 GPA and have completed at least one calendar year at their institution. Freshmen are not eligible for consideration.

text: Hi everyone, I was just given an 01 catera and I have a few questions about som upcoming maintinence. I was wondering if there was a how-to thread here about how to change the oil. I tried using the search function but after 25 minutes I decided it was just time to ask. Also, I have a small leak what looks to be coming from either the oil filter housing (at least that is what I think it is) or a black rubber plug type thing right next to the oil filter housing. I was wondering if I took a photo of what I am trying to describe if someone here would lead me in the right direction as far as repair or replacement parts needed. Lastly, I think the springs/struts are bad as the car sits very low. Is this an easy repair as well or should this be done professionaly. My knowledge doesn't extend far past changing the oil in my other cars although I am used to just unscrewing a filter and draining/refilling the oil. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone who chimes in.

It is similar to saying that its ok to fuck a 15 yr old girl just cos she can fuck as well as an adult

|Jinopo and Alpine are your friends.
|Boy von Zorra is also a dog that has a big, broad head and is a beautiful dark sable male. He looks Eastern euro/DDR, but is not. I have trained and also know several of his progeny and they are good dogs, excel at many sports and the ones I know tend to be safe, social type dogs. My Boy son was very good with kids. I don't know whether he always throws his head, that would depends on the combination of lines/the bitch but I do recommend him as far as the "look" you seek and the temperament you may want in a working line, athletic dog that is good for a family. There are a few other members/breeders on this forum that have bred litters by Boy.
You might contact von Hena-C since you like the looks of her dogs.

You will most likely find the heads you want in the DDR lines, but they can show up in some of the other lines too.
Not all DDR dogs were boarder patrol dogs and most of the dogs bred now are very far removed from any boarder patrol lines except in some of the Czech/Slovak imports.
Lines for broad&substantial heads
Hello everybody,
I lost my loved dog to a cervical tumour not long ago and now I am looking for a type of dog that I don't seem to find in show lines of the GSD. My previous dog was an obedience and tracking Lab. I now feel I want to share my time with a breed with more protective instinct.
I am attaching a picture of the tYpe of head and expression I am looking for, I found him browsing the Internet, his name is Wyatt von Hena-c. I am not interested in this dog in particular but on identifying bloodlines with this type of head. I am aware that DDR bloodlines are heavier boned and more substantial heads, I really want to go further and identify specific bloodlines or breeders. I am completely new to the breed.
Thanks everybody!!!! I REALLY CAN USE YOUR HELP.
NB: As a side note, the dog I am looking for is to participate in different sports but an amateur level (no need for civil/real/border patrol dogs). I also understand that DDR lines come from border patrol dogs so i might be contradicting myself. I have a newborn daughter.

Tempest at Dawn (edition 2010)
by James D. Best
Work details
Tempest at Dawn by James D. Best
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Was free for kindle on 1/19/2012
A most timely read, as tea partyists loudly insist that they alone preserve the letter of the U.S. Constitution and certain politicians and talk show hosts make crazy claims about what that document actually says and what the deified Founding Fathers intended. It might be far-fetched to think that rabid partisans would take time actually to study the period, but for those willing to put in a bit of time, James D. Best brings the Convention of 1787 to life. A postscript discusses the advantages and disadvantages of historical fiction and lays out Best's methodology. Therefore the novel can safely be read as a reliable source of knowledge on the events it portrays. The names from dull history books come to life as full-fledged people, eating and drinking together, thinking, debating, battling. The Constitution does not fall full-formed from heaven. The Founders have no alternative, for old politics and economy are crumbling. Most hate compromise but they are forced to do it. Most realize that compromise over slavery will eventually lead to crisis.
The novel's premise is that a brash young historian gains an interview with the reclusive former President James Madison shortly before Madison's death. The narrator wants to see Madison's notes on the Convention but has to settle for a narrative of the events. The story shifts abruptly from the 1835 interview to the 1787 events, told in too smooth and engaging a style to be accounted for in the context of an interview with a decrepit old man. This criticism aside, Tempest at Dawn must be declared a major triumph in making America's founding document accessible and in showing that flesh-and-blood humans were behind it. Highly enjoyable and thought-provoking.

Window fabric?
Hey guys,
I opened up the door panel of my 79 firebird because the window on the drivers side seemed to have been getting scratched. Upon further inspection I saw that there are three pieces of "fabric" that almost resemble carpet on the door panel's inside that seem to touch the glass as it goes down. These pieces are worn out and the metal that once glued them in place is scratching the window. Tried to research what these things are but no luck. Anybody have any idea?
It's belt weatherstripping. The best place to get it is at J.C. Whitney. CLICK HERE
Here's the original stuff: CLICK HERE
The pieces you need are guides. They hold the window as it goes up and down. Make nasty scratches when the cover fails. I have recovered them with black molded carpet pieces (heavier backing) . Glue them on to the metal with contact cement.
The fuzzy half of adhesive backed Velcro works too.

'Genius' concussion researcher tries to make football safer
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Kevin Guskiewicz, a leading evangelist of football's anti-concussion movement, displays game film on the video screen in a conference room at the University of North Carolina, freezing the action at intervals to make a point.
First, Guskiewicz shows a Tar Heels player making contact with the crown of his helmet as he lowers his head on a kickoff. Then, the professor fast-forwards to a game from a few weeks later, where the same player leads with his shoulder.
"See how he rotates his head out of the way," Guskiewicz says, pointing emphatically. "This is what we have to teach."
Guskiewicz (GUS-ka-witz) sounds like a coach at times like this, though that's not among his titles at North Carolina. These are:
•Kenan distinguished professor and chairman in the Department of Exercise & Sport Science and athletic trainer.
•Research director of the Center for the Study of Retired Athletes and founding director of the Matthew Gfeller Sport-Related Traumatic Brain Injury Research Center.
USA TODAY Sports on Twitter!
To get the latest sports news from USA TODAY, including game results, columns and features, follow us on Twitter at @USATODAYSports.
That last title is unofficial. In September, Guskiewicz, 45, won a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, popularly known as a genius grant — a term the foundation avoids and one that makes Guskiewicz cringe.
"Einstein was a genius," he objects. "And I'm no Einstein."
Scott Trulock isn't so sure. The head athletic trainer for UNC football thinks the genius of Guskiewicz is an ability to apply his research to the real world in real time.
"In science, you can do research, but if it isn't applied, then what value is it?" Trulock asks. "We take that information and do something with it. That completes the circle."
North Carolina players practice and play with accelerometers embedded in their helmets that can measure the number of hits they take to their heads and the severity of those blows. Guskiewicz and his research team have compiled information from more than 150 players since 2004.
When data suggest a player is taking an inordinate number of hits to, say, the top of his helmet, Guskiewicz and his team tell Trulock, who syncs up video to see why. Trulock takes his findings to coaches who teach players better blocking and tackling techniques, such as rotating their heads away from contact on kickoffs.
"I think it has enlightened us as coaches," North Carolina interim football coach Everett Withers says.
1,000 hits to the head
Six accelerometers are set into U-shaped padding inside helmets. These send the precise location and G-force of helmet hits to a central computer that sits on the 50-yard line at games and inside the trainers room at practice.
Guskiewicz says the cost to equip a helmet with the Head Impact Telemetry System is roughly $1,500. Several other colleges and a few high schools use the system, he says, but he thinks UNC is the only one to have as many as 60 or so in use consistently each season, thanks in part to grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment.
Some players take as many as 1,000 hits to the head in a given season of practices and games, Guskiewicz says. Such research is why Withers limits live tackling at North Carolina practices.
"This game is a collision sport, and we can't change that," Withers says, "but we can minimize the risk of concussion."
The MacArthur fellowship gives Guskiewicz — and 21 other winners for 2011 — a grant of $500,000, no strings attached. Guskiewicz says he'll approach other foundations to seek matching grants in hopes of multiplying that into $2 million or more for his twin-tracked research.
On one track, Guskiewicz studies data gathered from the accelerometers. On the other, he follows the lives of former players to look for links between long-ago head injuries and onset of depression and dementia.
Intense testing is key
Philip "Flip" Ray, 63, a defensive tackle at North Carolina in the early 1970s, is taking a test that measures his memory by showing simple line drawings of objects on flip cards, which he's asked to name rapid-fire.
Ray quickly recognizes dozens and fails on a few of the more challenging ones. The 1973 North Carolina graduate shows no cognitive problems and says he's here because he'd like a baseline of his normal brain function in case he develops troubles.
Guskiewicz has examined roughly 400 former NFL players; Ray is the first to come in for the study who did not play pro ball. Guskiewicz puts players through balance tests, neuro-imaging, memory tests and more. He wants to see the differences, if any, between those who played long pro careers vs. those who stopped playing after college.
"Could 10 years of additional exposure to football at certain playing positions be too much?" Guskiewicz asks. "Oftentimes we'll get former players who come in and are starting to experience memory impairment. Along with that can come some depression, or in some cases more serious problems where they can't hold down a job. We had a retired NFL player who came (recently) and was a good match on those factors."
Guskiewicz uses an NFL Players Association database to find retired players, and he sends them a 10-page health questionnaire for when he wants specific kinds of players — former defensive linemen, say, who played 10 or more years.
Framed autographed photos of some of the famous retired players who have been interviewed for some of his studies over the years — such as Pro Football Hall of Famers Jim Taylor and Floyd Little— hang on the walls of the office space outside the conference room.
"Basically, when I played they'd hold up two fingers on the sideline, and if you got it right, you could go back in," says Steve Largent, another Hall of Famer. "That's as casual as the medical community was in those days."
Largent, 57, says he decided to participate in the latest study because he had a stroke at 50 and he wonders if that could have any relation to the six or seven known concussions he suffered in college and the NFL.
"The physics that are involved today — as we've been building these players bigger, stronger, faster — the collisions are much more dramatic than when they were playing," Guskiewicz says.
"We certainly saw concussions then, but one of the challenges we're going to have is trying to figure out if the accumulation of concussions and sub-concussive impacts might tell a story about those individuals at age 50, 60 or 70."
Guskiewicz, a former athletic trainer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was once one of the NFL's chief critics. Now he is a member of the league's head, neck and spine committee that only a few years ago rejected much of the emerging science on concussions.
"It was very troubling, to be honest with you, that even in 2006 and 2007 the NFL was dismissing a lot of the findings that were coming out with respect to the late-life consequences of concussion," Guskiewicz says.
He credits Roger Goodell for changing the league's culture in the years after he became NFL commissioner in 2006. Guskiewicz now is chairman of an NFL subcommittee on safety equipment and rules changes that pushed for this season's new rule moving kickoffs up from the 30-yard line to the 35.
When Guskiewicz appeared before the NFL's competition committee in February, he offered data from his accelerometer project showing that many of the highest G-force collisions come on kickoffs.
"I'm certainly not going to take credit for the rule change," Guskiewicz says, "but I think it will be shown in the end to be a good one."
Start culture change early
Tar Heels wide receiver Erik Highsmith banged his head during practice before last season when he got undercut as he attempted to make a catch.
"My teammates said I started acting weird, asking the same question over and over: 'Did I catch the ball? Did I catch the ball?' " Highsmith says. "They knew I had a concussion."
He praises the athletic training staff that checked him against his baseline tests and kept him out of practice and team meetings until he was well enough to get back on the field a week or so later. And, he says he is happy to provide data points for Guskiewicz.
"I'm glad they're doing the research," he says. "Unfortunately, I was part of the research, but it worked out for the best.
"If it's going to help the future, I'm for it."
The future is precisely the point. Guskiewicz has a daughter, 4, who hasn't started sports, and three sons, 15, 13 and 11, who have played youth football.
"My friends think I'm crazy letting my kids play, knowing what I know," Guskiewicz says. "But I'm not against football. I'm just for playing it as safely as it can be played."
Adam, 11, played Pop Warner football this fall for the Orange County Tar Heels, who wore jerseys of Carolina blue. One of Adam's teammates was Pierce Withers, the coach's son.
"I see Kevin at practices on Thursday nights," Everett Withers says. "We talk about it all the time — that's where it starts, on the Pop Warner teams. Teach kids that the crown of the helmet is not for tackling.
"The issues in the NFL are a direct correlation to what has been taught previously. And I think all that is going to change. Kevin is on the cutting edge. To me, the issue is taking what we know now and teaching kids the right way going forward."

Microsoft smartphones and tablets are going great these days indicates the sales reports from different countries. Microsoft Surface Pro 3, which could not become the best-seller of the company, has successfully grabbed the position of being the fastest tablet PCs. Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Outcast 9 Tablets In Terms Of Speed According to the reports, the tablet has successfully left behind some of the best-selling tablets available in the United Kingdom,after being run on cross-platform processor of the Geekbench, including Apple iPad mini 3, Apple iPad Air 32 GB (Wi-Fi) and Apple iPad Air 2. The tablet also left behind Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 2014, Google Nexus 9, Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, Tesco Hudl 2 and Asus MEMO Pad 7 ME572C.

With iPad Mini 2 & iPad 5 Release Set In Line, Will Apple Regain Its Plunging Market Share and Popularity?
Apple is expected to roll out its forthcoming iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C anytime after September 20th followed by the launch of iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 somewhere in mid-November this year. Interestingly, certain analysts believe that Apple's hope to gain its plunging market shares in the tab market could be pinned down to the release of iPad Mini 2 and the iPad 5. Apple's earlier shipment for tabs went down from 229.3 million to 227.4 million units, which is speculated to be the firm's move to build anticipation among consumers for its upcoming iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2. However, the decision to increase the sales of tabs in the Q4 this year has rather affected the company's market share. Nevertheless, as per some reports, Apple's shipment of tabs has increased by 60 percent since 2012, when it first launched the iPad. Apple has always been [+more]
Microsoft Surface RT vs Apple iPad 4 Trailer : The Loss of $900 Million Can Take Microsoft To Any Extent,
For years, big firms in the tech world are aiming at one another with commercials that compare the devices. From 2006-2009, Apple ran a trailer under 'Get a Mac' campaign, highlighting why Mac was superior to Microsoft's Windows PCs. In reply, Microsoft also ran anti-iPad commercials, focusing on iPad's shortcomings. However, following a loss of whooping $900 million, Microsoft has now rolled out a latest Surface RT vs. iPad commercial, with focus on its Surface RT's features and low price. Using Siri to point out things it can't do, the ad kick starts with the Surface RT's built-in stand, which iPad doesn't have. It follows showing the USB port in the Surface RT, which lacks in iPad. The ad also shows Microsoft's device getting into the Surface Touch Cover, with Siri acting in response saying, "Oh snap, you have a real keyboard too?" However, Microsoft hasn't pointed at the keyboard's [+more]
Apple iPad Mini 2 Vs Apple iPad 5: To Include or Not to Include Retina Display
Should Apple's iPad Mini 2 comprise Retina Display or not? The decision seems to have rattled the firm. As per a latest buzz in the rumor mill, the Cupertino Calif.-based firm still has to settle on whether to include Retina Display in its upcoming next-gen 7.9-inch iPad or not. However, if Apple plans on to implement a Retina screen, we won't see the iPad Mini 2 hit the shelves before the end of the fourth quarter. Considering the current iPad's low 1024 x 768 resolution, a delay to instill the Retina screen could lead to no problem. Apparently, Apple has decided to design the iPad Mini 2 as a bezel-less device. Yet another rumor surrounding Apple indicates towards another iPad in the making, the iPad 5. The iPad 5 is expected to roll out with a 9.7-inch display, a Retina screen, slimmer bezel, a single LED tube (as opposed to [+more]
Bill Gates' Endorsement: An Unsuccessful Attempt to Push for Microsoft Surface Tablet Against Apple iPad?
You can't blame Bill Gates for being loyal to his previous company. But when the ex-boss of Microsoft appeared at a recent interview at CNBC and remarked that iPad users were frustrated using the tablet, we really wish he had done his background research properly. Gates couldn't help but try to promote Microsoft's Surface RT and Pro tablets, except these remarks quite literally appeared to have come out of nowhere – especially given that there are quite a few aspects where the Microsoft tablets are lagging behind their competition. Gates remarked at how revolutionary a product Windows 8 is, since it allows users the benefits of both a PC and a tablet, in the same device, particularly the convenience of the keyboard and Office. However, what he missed mentioning is that the keyboard for Surface is an additional accessory that has to be purchased separately. And that the Surface RT, [+more]
Apple iPad losing out to Microsoft and Android Tablets: Will the Galaxy Note 8.0 Spell Further Doom?
Apple may still be reigning in the world of tablets, but 2013 could be the year that changes Apple's fortunes in this category. First it was the competition from low-cost Android tablets like the Google Nexus and the Amazon Kindle Fire, which then gave way to Microsoft's Surface RT and Pro high-end tablets. But with the Galaxy Note 8.0 launching soon, will it spell Apple's downfall? Apple's iPad and iPad Mini tablets managed to account for 48 percent of worldwide tablet sales up to Q1 of 2013, but others are playing catch-up. Microsoft managed to increase its share to 7.5 percent, in a market that's witnessing quite the boom – sales have been up by 118 percent in comparison with Q1 of 2012. Last year, during the same period, Apple accounted for 63 percent of the tablet market – and that was even before the iPad Mini was introduced. But [+more]
Apple iPad Seduces With Amazon As Paramour— Kamasutra Xcitra Might Just Up iPad Sales And Get You Cozy
And you thought the Apple iPad was only designed for geeks? Taking Samsung Galaxy S's claim to have been designed for humans, Apple has taken a route most of us failed to even imagine. Sex and seduction sells in any case-Apple has believed this adage too seriously and has chosen to offer the Kama Xcitra to iPad users on iOS. Forget the blushes and the "awwws", it is time to get in bed with tech to catalyze your lovemaking! The app bases itself on augmented reality (AR) that almost makes you feel you are seeing someone teach you the positions up close and personal. The more you shake the more to gain—no pun intended—the iPad responds to give you "all-around" views of the 3D figures on screen, as you view it from varied angles. The Kamasutra Xcitra excites you enough to get to real time action with real augmented [+more]
Apple Whitewashes Plans for iPhone 5S and Retina iPad Mini Arrival—Are The Makers Fumbling With Their Creations?
Half a month back, I was all set to buy the latest Apple iPhone 5S this June but now the makers have squashed my plans. The Apple iPhone 5S has been in news for being more economical than its predecessors and I wanted to be among the first to get hands on the 5S. Apple, very simply put the blame on supply issues or production pricks to justify its delay in launching the iPhone 5S. What furthers acts as an irritant is that the Apple Retina iPad Mini too will see delay. The prick comes with Apple unable to find the perfect color coat for its iPhone 5S! Reminds me of the trouble Apple baked during its iPhone 4 saga. Seems like the makers are too bothered about internal make over the external image.. sigh! Moving on to why the Retina iPad Mini will see delays—Apple reveals that it has [+more]
Apple iPad Mini 2 Vs Surface Pro: Would Windows Blue Drive Apple iOS into the Blues?
Even though Microsoft's Windows 8 OS met with considerable success, the same doesn't quite hold true when it comes to its foray into the tablet space with the Surface and Surface RT tablets. Both these tablets boast terrific specs and are quite powerful for their form factor, the high price had been quite a deterrent, keeping many people from ditching their iPads in favor of Microsoft's offering. But the upcoming update to Windows 8, Windows Blue could turn things around and make life a lot harder for Apple. To start with, Microsoft can make a huge killing in the enterprise space – given that most companies depend on Microsoft Windows OS as their official OS. Plus, no matter how terrific the iOS experience on the iPad maybe, only Microsoft Surface tablets running on Windows can offer the full fledged Microsoft Office experience – a major advantage for Microsoft. The compatibility [+more]
Google Nexus 10 Vs Apple iPad Mini : Nexus More Scalable And Secure, Says Google Chairman
Google's Big Tent Event, being organized in India– has got the Chairman Eric Schmidt thinking. His views on his competitors Amazon, Blackberry and the invincible Apple are indeed many. When asked about his views on Blackberry and the other companies, Schmidt replied that he was a Blackberry user and liked its keyboard. He also added that Blackberry was facing trouble and Amazon was placed in a much better position than the Canadian giant. According to the Google bigwig, Amazon has surpassed all expectations and had showcased its ability to change its marketing and distribution strategies. He also opined that Amazon's role as an important business partner was undisputable and they had the capacity of competing with their search engine. It was a treat to hear Google's chairman have amicable views about its largest rival. His opinions had a complimentary tone as he praised the achievements of Apple and perceived them [+more]

Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind by Robert D. Richardson Jr. (1986)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a much more melancholy Thoreau than appears in his work. I was especially interested in his various fallouts with Emerson, his seemingly innate contrariness - which does come through his work, and how much he was involved in his family's business.

Interesting comparison between NOS RCA 12ax7, Chinese 12ax7a
I recently swapped in a pair of NOS RCA 12ax7's I found laying around in place of the Chinese 12ax7a's I had in the first stage of my phono preamp ever since I built it and heard some surprising differences to the NOS tubes' advantage, IMO.
I should first describe my phono preamp general topology. It's set up for MM (I use a Shure V15 Type 5 MR). The input stage is 1/2 the 12ax7a w/o feedback. The other half is used to provide an inverted version of the signal with feedback. Then I sum the output of the inverting stage through an air variable capacitor and the feedback-less 12ax7a into the grid of the second stage which has RIAA compensation in its feedback loop. The second stage is a cascode amplifier using a 6BK7B driving a third stage which is a White follower using a second 6BK7B.
With this approach, the summation of the signal through the air-variable cap with the signal from the input stage forms a first order all pass filter which can be set to reduce the HF group delay error due to the MM resonance. This definitely helps tighten up the top octaves and reduces the audibility of ticks and pops. The main RIAA feedback cap in my design is 100pf which I made myself out of copper foil and teflon film with bare copper leads soldered with tin-silver solder and with teflon shrink wrap over the whole thing. They've worked fine for over ten years, although I think about the possibility now and then of trying to make my own stacked plate 100pf air dielectric capacitors for the RIAA feedback.
Anyway, after all that description, I was really surprised how much more tuneful and much more body the bass had with the NOS RCA input tube compared to the Chinese tubes. OTOH, the highs were definitely somewhat harder with the RCAs, but I think that is likely just a reflection of their greater accuracy. I suspect that the Chinese tubes 'diffuse' some fine detail which makes them appear a little smoother on the top end but robs their bass of punch, at least in my preamp application. I could be talking out my hat here, but I wonder if the open plate construction of the Chinese tubes possibly adds a little dynamic nonlinearity to the signal as the plate voltage and current change. Just a thought.

New vs NOS
I have yet to audition any new manufacture small signal tubes that comes 1/2 way close to NOS sonics. I have not tried Sovtek 12AX7XLS or the Groove tube Mullard copy. Most new manufacture 12AX7s only measure 1200 gm whereas any NOS measures 1600 gm or better. Something is wrong here, is it not?
Some new manufacture power tubes perform well, and especially so with the Shuguang 845. This plant in China has been making tubes for many years & has experience. BTW- The Shuguang 12AX7 measures 1600 gm.

I have been running old GE/Wurlitzers long plates for some time now in a couple of my guitar amps. They also sound darn nice in my little RH-84 I just built.
I had no idea prior to trying these just how bad current production tubes are.
According to several guitar player magazines I glanced through, Mullards & Tung Sols reissues are owned by Electro-Harmonix?
Thats New Sensor correct?
How true this Is I have no idea. But I do own a couple sets of 12AX7EH's. They have a really unusual brittle kind of sound that just doesnt cut it in my amp.
J&J EL34s I own seem pretty solid, But then again, I have no NOS EL34's to compare to.

Hi, Sy -
The 12ax7 itself is outside any feedback loop or equalization circuit. The only effect I could imagine is if there is a substantial difference in effective output impedance which might modify the input resistance to the feedback summation point slightly. All the nonresistive (RIAA-related) elements are in the feedback leg. But the LF rolloff point could be affected slightly. However, the feedback runs out definitely under 10hz in either case.

That was pretty much my idea- if the output resistance increases, it can add some bass, pretty much what you heard.

Home entertainment vs guitar amps
I find a difference regarding the application. I strive for precise & clear sonics in home entertainment amps. For the most part, the opposite is true in guitar amps. I prefer a lively harmonic structure. Although many NOS preamp type tubes are still best, I like some new manufacture power tubes a lot.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. When will class supply lists be posted, they come out very late?
The three K-3 schools have supply lists posted on their websites. At Lloyd Road, Middle School, and the High School, students will be notified of supply needs in September.
We have
had some questions recently about school supply lists for students for the2015-16
school year.
Due to the changes with all Lloyd Road classes moving to the departmental design we were finalizing teaching teams and placement close to the end of the year. As a result, all teaching teams did not have the chance to meet and finalize supply lists for us to post. If we are able to finalize supply lists closer to the start of school we will post them online, but right now they are not available.
3. When do we find out about advanced placement for math and for LA? Is it the same time or different letters?
Letters will be sent out to students that qualify during the week of August 3, 2015.
4. After school activities, when is the sign up before school starts or after?
After school club sign-ups will take place this fall during the first couple of weeks of school. Advisors will give out club information during morning announcements.
6. Is the late bus at MAMS just for after school activities or can kids stay for an after school study hall?
The MAMS 4:15 bus is historically reserved for students participating in after-school activities (athletics, clubs, academic assistance, etc.). Students who attend these activities receive a green late bus pass from the supervising adult. There is no after school "study hall."
Dates for August orientation at the schools for incoming students?
Strathmore, Ravine Drive & Cliffwood
Ravine Drive: New Student Orientation for newly enrolled students in Gr.1 - 3
Lloyd Road School: Grade 4 parent orientation set for Tuesday, August 25th
Middle School: Orientation August 26th times to follow
High School: Freshman Orientation is scheduled
8. Can kids use laptops or tablets to take notes in school and if yes which schools?
Students in our schools are allowed bring in personal devices based on the district policy 2363- Pupil Use of Privately-Owned Technology. (The policy can be viewed on the district website under the Board of Education/Policy) Parents are asked to obtain administrative approval.

Cobalt Gallery, 870a Kingston Rd., is featuring paintings, drawings and pottery from Chris Evitts during the month of March.
The show is titled All At Sea, and takes its inspiration from the British meaning of the phrase, which describes a state of confusion, disarray or panic.
Evitts is a multi-medium artist, working in an expressionist mode with touches of surrealism and abstract, a dash of humour and a little pent-up rage. For more on Evitts, visit chrisevitts.com. For more on Cobalt, see cobaltgallery.ca.
Beach artist Paul Corby is teaming up with his friend and fellow artist David Hynes, a long-time Beach resident now based in Bethany, Ontario, for a one-day show at Birchcliff Bluffs United Church.
Titled The Ideas of March, the show will feature Corby's small and medium-sized acrylic paintings, as well as Hynes' larger collage work. The show's title signifies "not only the date, but the renewed possibility for fresh thought that the last week of winter traditionally inspires," according to Corby.
Corby's work is inspired by music and urban lighting, falling under what he terms casual realism. He sometimes wanders into abstract territory as well. His last show was an invitation-only show at the church in 2012.
Hynes will be showing medium and large-scale collage work at the show.
The Ideas of March runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Birchcliff Bluffs United Church, 33 East Road at Kingston Road just east of Warden, on Saturday, March 15. For more on Corby's work, visit paulcorbyvisuals.webs.com, and for Hynes, see davidhynes.net.
The Beach Photo Club's Romancing the Light exhibition at the Papermill Gallery at Todmorden Mills was extended by two weeks, but if you missed it, don't fear – 25 pieces from the show will be transplanted to the Beacher Café for the month of March.
The condensed show includes work covering a wide range of artistic visions, all emphasizing the need to be in the right place at the right time to capture the right light.
The Beacher Café is at 2162 Queen St. E., at the corner of MacLean. For more on the club, visit beachphotoclub.com.
Artisans At Work is offering a pair of spring break activity days for kids called March Break Art Days.
On Wednesday, March 12 and Friday, March 14, creative kids from eight years old to 19 years old are invited to find their artistic side, covering activities including painting, sketching and drawing, crafts, jewelry-making and wood burning.
Both days run from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m., and cost $85 including materials. No experience is required and kids will take home finished work. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
A Thursday indoor winter farmers' market is still operating in the community space every week from 2 to 7 p.m. Life model sketching and painting sessions run weekly on Sunday mornings.
This month's art show, following a theme of Macro/Unseen/Close Up, will be celebrated at the monthly First Friday art party on Friday, March 7, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Stop by Artisans At Work, 2071 Danforth Ave. just west of Woodbine, for a celebration of art, with live music, food and a licensed bar.

(Nasdaq: AACC) today announced that Encore has entered into an agreement to acquire Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. Based in Warren, Michigan, Asset Acceptance has decades of experience in buying consumer receivables across a broad range of asset classes, as well as a tenured workforce. Combined, Encore and Asset Acceptance have purchased over 60 million individual consumer accounts, including credit card, telecommunications, consumer loans and other related assets, with a face value of over $130 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Encore will acquire Asset Acceptance for $6.50 per share, which represents a total equity value of approximately $200 million, representing a 24 percent premium to AACC's 30 day volume weighted average share price. Asset Acceptance shareholders will have the option to receive their consideration in cash or Encore stock or any combination of cash and Encore stock, at their election, with the aggregate stock consideration across all stockholders capped at 25 percent of the total equity consideration to be received. Subject to regulatory approval and Asset Acceptance shareholder approval, the acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of this year. "This acquisition moves our industry into a new phase of maturity defined by more efficient companies that are committed to operating ethically and treating consumers with respect," said Encore's President and Chief Executive Officer Brandon Black.

Encore has been acquiring competitor portfolios since 2001 and has developed expertise in valuing, managing and integrating large transactions.

Humane Society Pet of the Day: Mikey
By Craig Richardson On February 24, 2011 · 3 Comments · In A Big Something, Pet of the Day, Pets
Hi, my name is Mikey. I am an eight year old, neutered male Cocker Spaniel. I have very soft white and tan curly fur, and brown eyes. I was found by a Good Samaritan who brought me to the Humane Society, but sadly my owners did not look for me there. I was very scared at first, but now that I'm a little more comfortable I love to go on walks, eat treats, and get affection. I have a friend in my kennel with me and we get along great, so if you have another dog at home I'd be a good companion to them too! I know I'm a little older, but I'm in good shape and I still have a lot of love to give. Come and meet me today and I bet we'll get along great! Thanks to a donor my adoption fee is $65 and includes a free vet exam, vaccination vouchers, one month of pet health insurance, a one year dog license and a microchip! Please come visit me and all of my friends at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, 610 Abbott Lane, Colorado Springs, CO 80905. Click HERE for directions.

It's obvious the Chargers aren't clicking on all cylinders in their encore performance to last year's stunning season.
"It's still a work in progress, learning each other and figuring what we do best," LaDainian Tomlinson said.
Yet the Chargers are in first place in the AFC West, even if their 5-4 record is hardly worthy of a bow.
So the learning curve continues? Coach Norv Turner disagrees.
"I don't know how to answer that," he said. "We came back from Denver, (where we) scored 40 points, and it didn't look like there was any learning curve.
"When we played Houston, we were ahead at halftime 35-7 and had moved the ball extremely well.
"I think it's a matter of we're not playing with as much consistency as we'd like to be, and we have to try to get back to doing the things we were doing a month ago."
Whichever way the thinking goes, the Chargers know they have a tough task in store in the Sunshine State. The Jaguars (6-3) present a physically challenging matchup.
"I think they're playing awfully well," Turner said. "They're so physical up front. I think the additions in the secondary and then the experience in the corners, you see them having grown and having grown."
The Chargers, by their own admission, haven't been playing extremely well. That said, they have won four of their past five games after stumbling to a 1-3 start.
But what's been a red flag is the play of quarterback Philip Rivers. He has 10 touchdown passes, but he's also thrown 10 interceptions and lost five fumbles.
He is coming off one of his worst games as a pro, recording a 30.6 passer rating against the Colts.
"Philip has had the ups and downs I think that you have as a young quarterback," Turner said of second-year starter. "We are working through some things, and we just have to eliminate the negative play, and ultimately that's his responsibility."
Who's responsible for the Chargers' sporadic start through nine games?
Is it A.J. Smith for helping get rid of coach Marty Schottenheimer in favor of Turner? Is it Turner? Is it the players?
It really doesn't matter to Tomlinson, the reigning NFL MVP.
"We knew it was going to be a tougher season because we knew that we were going to play way better teams," Tomlinson said. "We knew there was going to be a grind, but it will help us down the road, that is what we are hoping."
They hope it starts Sunday in Jacksonville.
SERIES HISTORY: 3rd meeting. Series tied, 1-1. This is the Chargers' second trip to Jacksonville after losing there 27-21 in 2003. The Jaguars fell in San Diego, 34-21, in 2004.
--Among the ways the Chargers have compensated for their inconsistent offense is some fine special teams play. Darren Sproles brought a kick and punt back for a score in the last game, but coach Norv Turner knows others play a role. "You don't play special teams the way you're playing them if everyone on your 45-man roster isn't contributing," Turner said. "We've got a lot of guys that are playing awfully well."
--CB Antonio Cromartie's three-interception game got the attention of Colts QB Peyton Manning, with Manning telling Cromartie, "I guess I really made your day, huh?"
"I just busted a smile because he really did," Cromartie said. The AFC selected Cromartie as its defensive player of the week.
--Sproles was named the AFC special teams player of the week.
--RB LaDainian Tomlinson needs 91 rushing yards to reach 10,000 for his career.
--QB Philip Rivers and Jaguars CB Brian Williams were teammates at North Carolina State. Williams has an interception in a club-record three straight games.
--The differences between the teams in the fourth quarter is startling. The Chargers struggle in the last quarter, getting outscored 77-34. On the other side, Jacksonville has done well, outscoring its opponents 62-42.
--Turner said while the starters get the headlines, the backups are just as critical for a solid second half. That was evident, he said, in the win over Indianapolis. "I think you could name our entire defensive group," he said. "Whether it be Marques Harris getting a sack or Carlos Polk going in and playing with the emotion he had. You don't beat the Indianapolis Colts unless it was a combined effort."
--FS Marlon McCree likes where the Chargers are. "We are No. 1 in our division," he said. "We are back in first place. We have been fighting hard, and we've lost some games. This puts us right where we want to be. Now we have to play a good Jacksonville team."
--This marks the third straight year the Chargers have swept a series against the previous season's Super Bowl teams. They beat New England and Philadelphia in 2005, swept the Steelers and Seahawks last year and this year beat the Bears in the opener and the Colts on Sunday.
--Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio was an All-America linebacker at USC when Chargers coach Norv Turner was on the Trojans' coaching staff.
--Ex-Chargers K John Carney could step aside this week for Jaguars K Josh Scobee, who has been out since September. Carney's 261 field goals as a Charger are a team-high.
--The Jaguars are undefeated against the AFC West this year, winning at Denver and Kansas City.
--The Chargers have scored five return touchdowns in the last three games and six in the last five games.
--When the Chargers collected six interceptions last week, it marked the sixth time they had accomplished that in franchise history. The last time it happened was at Denver in 1975.
--RB LaDainian Tomlinson thinks highly of Jaguars RB Fred Taylor: "In my opinion, he is the most underrated back in history in what he has done in his career and has not make the Pro Bowl yet," he said. "To me, it's mind-boggling on how good he has been for so long and not be recognized for it.
BY THE NUMBERS: 2 -- Consecutive second halves in which the Chargers were shut out -- and they won both games.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We certainly know we are going to have to do more than that down the road." -- QB Philip Rivers about the offense needing to show more production starting Sunday in Jacksonville.
There is concern that depth could be an issue at defensive end.
Starter Luis Castillo is out at least five more games with an ankle injury. His main backup, Jacques Cesaire, is being slowed by a toe injury and didn't practice Wednesday. Cesaire has played in pain in the past, but it's worth watching how well and long he holds up.
Ryon Bingham figures to get additional snaps, but he's more of an inside player who also gives Jamal Williams a blow. And Williams might need a few more breaks than usual considering how physically Jacksonville play and the fact that Williams is coming off of two knee surgeries he had just three weeks ago.
Look for Brandon McKinney to get more playing time to keep Bingham fresh on the outside.
--CB Antonio Cromartie's three interceptions in the first half Sunday were the most in the NFL since Stevon Moore of Cleveland had three against the Oilers in 1995.
--KR/PR Darren Sproles' 89-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on Sunday on the opening play marked the first time a Charger had done that since Tim Dwight had an 87-yarder in 2004.
--P Mike Scifres is on a roll. Of his last 22 punts, 17 have been downed inside the opponent's 20-yard-line.
--TE Antonio Gates needs 131 receiving yards to tie Tony Martin for seventh place on the club's all-time list.
--ILB Stephen Cooper not only leads the team in tackles but is the first to reach the century mark at 101.
--OLB Carlos Polk supplies some depth to the linebacker corps, but his bread-and-butter has always been his special teams play. He leads the team with 11 special teams tackles and has added a forced fumble that resulted in a touchdown.

PITTSBURGH – Following a weekend sweep of Cincinnati, Boo Vazquez (SO/Youngstown, Ohio) has been named to the Weekly Honor Roll, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
Vazquez takes home his second Conference honor of the season after a solid week where he went 5-for-10 (.500), tallied two RBIs and scored a pair of runs.

Studying the impact of Texas Senate Bill 42 on middle school children's level of physical activity
The Foundation's Active Living Research program was designed to support investigator-initiated research to identify and assess structural, environmental, and policy changes with the potential to increase population levels of physical activity.This project will examine the initial impact of the recently signed into law Texas Senate Bill 42 in which all Texas public middle schools must require students to engage in at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity. The project will determine the barriers to and facilitators of implementation of the law and the ultimate impact of the mandate on school physical education, child physical activity and child overweight, specifically among children living in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. The project complements an existing Active Living Research grant studying the impact of a parallel law covering elementary schools. Deliverables include one or more manuscripts to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, a report to appear on the Coordinated Approach to Child Health Web site and presentations at various national conferences, such as the Active Living Research conference.
