My Frugal Horn Build
After searching up and down the DIYaudio.com full range forum the fist thing I learned was that I knew NOTHING about horn design. It's a totally different ball game than regular audio. I decided on my drivers and my horn design after getting some suggestions from you guys here. The Fostex 126eN had a great reputation and I decided that would be my driver of choice. I went with the frugal horn design because it's compact and also had a good reputation behind it for sounding very very nice when combined with the 126eN.
The drivers wont be here for at least another 3 weeks while Dave puts the finishing touches on them. Normally this would suck, but in this case it's good because it's encouraged me to take my time with the build. I was told to use birch because it "sounded better". Normally I'd use MDF but I wasn't going to argue since horns aren't my area of expertise. I'm going to stain these since it has a nice grain on the wood. This means that I can't get messy with the wood glue because it will cause the wood not to accept stain.
My friend Joseph helped me cut the wood with his delta table saw. Everything came out perfect and very precise. This is the wood before I got started. I'm using a towel to protect the finish on the sides that will be showing.
Since I wouldn't be painting wood filler would not be an option which meant that nails or screws were out of the picture. Joseph let me borrow a few of his clamps (thanks man) and since I needed an extra hand Domokun helped me with assembly.
Team work paid off and we started getting pretty good with the clamps. This helped us do more than one piece at once which cut down on our dry times.
The internals aren't in it and the other side isn't on. This is just what it will look like when it's together before I install the supra baffles.
Finishing up the horn internals...
Internals done right before the side got put on. The areas that are in the middle and very bottom (sealed chambers) were filled with sand before everything was sealed up.
I finished the other one too so I moved on to the supra baffles today. It was really a bitch to cut out the inner parts so that they fit around the top of the enclosure body. It was especially hard too because Domo said he wouldn't help me. He complained about the saw dust getting in his fur or something.
Anyways....I'm basically done building and I need to prep these babies for stain and a protective coat.
What do you guys think? Am I headed in the right direction so far? I built the horns with the small and medium chamber open. Page 9 Explains what I mean. I figured I could fill it in later if i needed to but if I only built the small chamber I'd never be able to open it up more than that.

Leave the pictures enormous! I absolutely love this kind of picture documentation of a build, along with any quirks or snags recorded along the way. I am sure that I speak for many others when I say thanks for taking the time, pics are entertaining and useful. Good job!

Beautiful precision build. Hats off to Domokun as he takes a well-earned victory lap up the deflector.

I do have a question about the binding posts though. I thought about this for a long time before I closed up the box. I see that most people choose to put the binding posts in the lower rear piece of the horn and run the wires up through the inside. I feared that I would be able to hear the wires rattling in there so I decided to put the binding posts on the side of the compression chamber so I could keep the internal wires as short as possible. Is there any problem with that?

There is a forum limit to how big pictures can be? I shrunk them down a bit since last night. They're not still too big are they?

Those look awesome. Great job.
Are you going to make some deflectors for the rear? Or are you going to just listen to them and decide on that later?

I will be making the deflectors. I want to get the main enclosures done first though so if the drivers arrive early I'll be able to listen to them.
I'm also trying to come up with a way to integrate a subwoofer into each of the two deflectors without drastically changing their shape. I'm pretty creative so we'll see what happens.

Nice work... the choice of the larger air cavity will give you lots of opportunity to tune it down to the appropriate volume (~2.2litre) with irregular shaped objects.

Mozilla Labs has announced a new participation project that offers a way for the public to suggest, share and explore concepts, mockups and demos of what a next-generation web browser might look like.
The idea is to get more people involved in the design process, which Mozilla hopes will "inspire future design directions for Firefox, the Mozilla project and the web as a whole."
Participation isn't limited to programmers and code monkeys, in fact Mozilla seems to be particularly interested in input from graphic and interface designers. The only real requirement is that you use either a Creative Commons license or the Mozilla Public License so that others can reuse and remix your ideas.
Everyone is welcome to participate. We're particularly interested in engaging with designers who have not typically been involved with open source projects. And we're biasing towards broad participation, not finished implementations.
So what will the future of the browser look like? Obviously there's no telling, but Mozilla has posted some inaugural concept videos to help get the creative juices flowing.
The video below is from Adaptive Path, a design firm co-founded by Jesse James Garrett (probably best known for Ajax). The project is called Aurora and offers a look at one possible direction for a browser of the future.
Aurora (Part 1) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.
There's also a video from Aza Raskin, head of user experience at Mozilla, showing off some possibilities for the upcoming Firefox mobile browser. The third video, from designer Wei Zhou, showcases alternate ways of interacting with bookmarks and history.
While all the initial concepts are different if there's one immediately obvious common theme it's that the browser of the future will have less, not more. For instance all three mockups largely dispense with the familiar tool buttons, bookmark bar and other UI "clutter."
Will these ideas ever make it to the final release stage? Well that's for you to decide. Head over to the Labs forum and let the designers/developers know what you think. And if you have your own concepts to share, Mozilla recommends: "If it's an idea, blog about it. If it's a mock-up, put it on Flickr. If it's a prototype, host it on your website." And of course let everyone know in the discussion forum.

The great Barbara Sukowa returns to VFF screens after last being seen in the Festival favourite Vision, also a Margarathe von Trotta film. Hannah Arendt is a refreshingly intelligent film about one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. The film explores the creation of Arendt's concept of the banality of evil and the controversy that surrounded it.
Hannah Arendt explores the years in which the philosopher / political theorist travelled to Jerusalem in 1961 for the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, and then published her controversial work The Banality of Evil in which she attempted to understand how a person, with society's permission, can act in such an unthinking, almost offhanded ignorance of the consequences of one's actions.Sukowa commands the screen as Arendt, for she is in nearly every frame of the film and is introduced sitting alone, silent and smoking. Without speaking a word she conveys the isolation, the spirit and the fierce intellect of this formidable woman — one who sought to bring what her mentor and lover Heidegger once described as "the lonely business of thinking" directly into the public realm, to transform philosophy from intellectual abstraction into practical political action.Von Trotta has created a dynamic provocative film whose drama stems from the questions provoked by Arendt's writings.

OverviewContact Seller
DescriptionContact Seller
If you own heavy duty trucks or construction equipment that you need for your work but need working capital for your business you should look into a sale-leaseback to get the money you need while keeping your equipment.
Sale-leaseback is a financial tool for those who do not qualify for traditional bank loans. This program is much easier to qualify for and is tailor made for clients that own equipment (free & clear) which they use for the operation of their respective businesses.
It allows you to obtain capital equal to a percentage of the equipment value and repay from anywhere between (24-36) months, while continuing to use the equipment for income generation.
This program provides equipment owners the means to acquire substantial amounts of capital quickly, as opposed to other formats of this ilk, such as working capital loans.
You will receive your funds in (7-10) business days.
* Trucks and/or equipment must be owned free and clear.
* Sub-standard credit is OK with very few exceptions.
Call us for information weekdays between 9:00-3:00 EST - (800) 204-4144

Last week, as Halloween approached, searching for Halloween costumes online was interesting. Once more, like every year after 9/11, I was faced with the issue of hijabs, niqabs and burqas as Halloween attire. As we've previously discussed on MMW, hijabs, niqabs, burqas and the like are not okay as Halloween costumes. More generally, cultural appropriation is not okay, even (especially) on Halloween.Last week, Dr. Faheem Younus wrote an article titled "Hijab is Not a Halloween Costume." Dr. Y … [Read more...]

Re: NonlinearFit problem
The algorithm uses model's first or second derivatives, and in your case the partial derivative in respect to a is not numerical at r=0 because the Log[r]-function.
D[ r^a Exp[-b r], a] = e^(-b r) r^a Log[r]
D[ r^a Exp[-b r], {a, 2}] = e^(-b r) r^a Log[r]^2
If you change your first datapoint to something like {0.0000001, 1.00002} instead of {0, 1.00002} the fit has no problems.

installing hardwood flooring
When is best time of year to install hardwood flooring. How many days should flooring acclimate indoors. do i need a moisture meter.
I don't think there is a best time of year to install hard wood flooring.
Different brands and types of flooring request different amounts of time to acclimate. The flooring should be spread out through the areas that are going to be floored (not just put in the garage). Lets just say a case of 3/4" 20 square feet is around 56 pounds; a 2 bedroom house at 900 square feet would weigh in over 5,000 pounds.
Moisture meter is a must IMO. Best to check the moisture before ordering the flooring around out side walls and bathroom walls. You still need to test after old floor comes out.
Time of year means nothing, it's temperture and humidity that's important.
Need to be testing the floors not the walls as the other poster suggested.
Is this flooring going over a home with a basement or crawl space?
I meant to check the moisture of the floors around the outside walls, bathroom, and kitchen.
Optimal moisture content for installing hardwood floor
What is optimal moisture content between hardwood and sub floor? Thanks

ITworld.com –
I'm going to assume that after reading Parts 1 and 2 of this series, you have a working lightweight intrusion detection system in place. Now it's time to start getting useful data from it.
By default, Snort stores logged data for each IP address it captures in a separate directory. In a typical installation, the number of directories can quickly grow into the hundreds, making for an unwieldy collection of data.
Luckily, Snort provides an easy fix. Simply use the
-rcommand-line option and store the captured data in tcpdump format. This method has the added benefit of being much faster, decreasing the likelihood of dropped packets or missed intrusion attempts.
Now it's analysis time. Getting useful data from that 25 MB log file could be an overwhelming task. But don't worry; two user-contributed Perl scripts will make your life much easier.
Snortlog, written by Angelos Karageorgiou, looks up the hostnames of flagged machines -- Snort outputs only the IP address -- and writes them to a list. snort_stat.pl, by Yen-Ming Chen, uses the logs to generate a good selection of statistics about current alerts. I highly recommend that you download and use both.
As we wrap up this series on intrusion detection, it's time to start thinking about the best place to deploy your new system. Don't forget that Ethernet switches block all traffic that isn't specifically destined for the host on a given port. If you connect a probe to a switch port, you'll see only broadcasts and packets addressed to the probe -- not very useful for intrusion detection.
You have a couple of options. Most switch vendors allow their hardware to take packets received on one port and copy them to another -- a technique called port mirroring. This is a low-cost way to get started, but it can place an unwelcome burden on the switch CPU if used on a busy network.
I recommend buying an inexpensive four-port repeater. Insert the repeater between the backbone switch and the segment of the network you're interested in monitoring, plug the probe into an empty port on the repeater, and you're set.
Next time, I'll talk about ways you can get a handle on network bandwidth hogs.

Baby Xrlq Update
Baby Xrlq is now over 20 weeks old. For those of you who have kids, you know that that means; it's finally late enough in the pregnancy to see if we have a son or a daughter on the way. Mrs. Xrlq and I were in the doctor's office today, and now, at long last, we know.
It's a fetus!!!!!!!!!!
More specifically, it's a fetus who is well on his way to becoming a baby boy in October. No, I'm not going to post the ultrasound picture that proves it.

Quest - Quick, Easy, Simple Thai
I'd like to give you kudos for your well though out system for learning Thai. I purchased the hardcopy of the first book in the Quest program, and I like how you "decode" the inter-mechanics of the Thai language.Michael Dileo
I'm a self-proclaimed polyglot in training, and I've learned several languages via different systems. I have to say that your method is top-notch.
Try out our fantastic apps...
Click on either image to try out our web apps. The apps are also available on the iPad.
Quest - the Best System for Learning Thai
We created Quest as though there were a lot of books out there covering learning Thai, they were either standalone books, or there were huge gaps between the levels they covered.
Russ has many of the books that have been written to help foreigners learn Thai and struggled with the different transliteration systems on offer. The one he was most comfortable with was the Paiboon system; and we use this throughout Quest.
Of course, as it's merely a stop-gap, you really don't want to waste time learning transliterated Thai, get onto the real thing as soon as you can - you'll be so glad you did.
What Does Quest Consist Of?
Quest consists of the following:
- Volume 1 - Learning Thai, Your Great Adventure
- Volume 2- Memory Aids To Your Great Adventure
- Volume 3 - The Perfect Thai Phrasebook
- Volume 4 - How To Read Thai
- The Learn Thai Alphabet application
- The Learn Thai Numbers application

"Hi Russ,
Thank you for the great info and I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly! I have purchased "How To Read Thai" and also the phrasebook, from amazon. Looking forward to diving into those. I will certainly be purchasing the app for learn Thai alphabet as well."
- Nigel Millard, 26th July 2013
"I can't wait to start using it as your explanations and memory aids are the best that I have seen. I have a few books that have helped me to learn to speak Thai but their explanations of the written language always left me confused."
- Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 9th July 2013
"Well, I agree that your app and those posts are like a speed-of-light catalyst in terms teaching one the Thai script and reading it within literally two days (in my experience) which I find extraordinary.

Remembering Cory Monteith
Sad news this AM as Cory Monteith, perhaps best known for his role as FINN on GLEE was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room. He was 31.
While the cuase of death is not yet known, police say foul play has been ruled out. Cory has battled addiction in the past and attended rehab for the second time earlier this year.
According to TMZ:
"In a press conference, officials said the actor was "clearly deceased" -- and had been so for several hours -- when police arrived on the scene."
Meanwhile, celebs have been taking to twitter to express their thoughts on the star's passing.
This hurts. I love you Cory. Rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. pic.twitter.com/SceFQd7gzT— Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) July 14, 2013

Online banking continues to get more popular for its tremendous convenience – for both the customer and the bank robber. Or, if not bank robbers, then grifters who scam a few bucks out of both the unwary and the overly suspicious using more sophisticated phishing techniques than were evident even a few months ago, according to the American Bankers Association.
Scams have gone from obvious emails asking customers to click on a link and confirm their username and password, or open an attachment with an "important account update" that is actually a virus, to multimodal outreach campaigns aimed at mass audiences using many of the same technologies and techniques as the banks themselves, a report from ABA said.
Although the warnings are serious, the techniques include emailing false notices (called phishing), using auto-dialers to cold-call bank customers with "warnings" (called vishing) or sending texts for the same purpose (smishing).
Absent the ridiculous names, the experience is much like what you'd get from any relatively impersonal bank notifying customers, as required by federal law, of the latest increase in ATM fees or other extra costs.
The Phish, Vish and Smish messages contain a specific request for action, however, according to Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, quoted in BankInfoSecurity about a vish/smish scam carried ou on a wide scale against Wells Fargo customers in Idaho during August.
Often the senders or callers don't know anything about the "customer's" card or account; they often call people who aren't even customers, because they don't always go to the trouble to acquire a mailing list that would be used for legitimate advertising purposes.
Instead they cold-call banks of random numbers to warn customers their accounts had been shut down following one or more attempts at fraud, which the bank had prevented by its quick action.
To reinstate or reactivate the accounts, however, customers had to respond to an email, text or phone call to discover how their accounts had been compromised.
Once the contact is made, customers are asked to confirm their account numbers, phone-banking PIN numbers, ATM numbers or other information.
Despite the increasing number (or just publicity about) large-scale hacks and potential identity thefts, banks still do not ask consumers to call numbers that aren't easily identifiable as belonging to the bank, or to provide private information others could use to access the account, according to the ABA.
The report points customers to the Internet Crime Complaint Center – a joint project of the FBI and National White Collar Crime Center – for updates on new scam techniques or to report suspicious emails.
Please include your Social Security Number, ATM pass-code and Facebook login for additional security.
Thank you.

"It's too expensive" is one of the most common excuses for avoiding exercise. And while it's true that Pilates classes, tennis lessons and skiing can cost a pretty penny, you can get the same benefits at home or solo in the gym with the right techniques.
In other words, you have no excuse not to work out!
We asked Tom Holland, an exercise physiologist and the author of Beat the Gym: Personal Trainer Secrets -- Without the Personal Trainer Price Tag, for a few ways to get sweaty on the cheap.
"I think less is more when it comes to fitness and money," says Holland, whose new workout DVD series, Supreme 90 Day, is now available — at a fraction of the cost of another popular 90-day fitness DVD series, P90X.
"Think of the guys working out in prison — they usually have great bodies, but it's not like they have a lot of expensive equipment. You don't need a lot to get a lot."
We asked our Facebook fans which workouts they'd try if they weren't so pricey, and then got Holland's take on the lower-cost way to get the same results. Here's what he suggests for some of your most common quandaries:
"With the great DVDs series available today, you can learn the moves and train with some of the best Pilates experts in the world. I recommend Tracey Mallett's series. You can also simply take one class, take note of the moves, and do them on your own at home."
"First of all, let's talk about how to make tennis effective — if you're playing singles, it's a workout. If it's doubles, it's probably not.
"Assuming you are really playing and not just socializing, though, tennis is all about sudden starts and stops. So to see those same results, go for interval training. It doesn't matter what modality you're doing, an elliptical trainer, a treadmill or a jump rope — just do really fast intervals, going hard for 10 seconds and recovering for 20-30. Intervals are really the fastest and best way to get in shape now."
"This one's going to be tough to recreate at home. The whole schtick is the over-100-degree room, so unless you've got a steam room or sauna at home, you aren't going to get to that level. But yoga at home is a great idea anytime, and next time it's really hot outside and you don't feel like going for a walk or a run, try doing some yoga in your backyard. It's fun, it mixes things up and you may see some of those same benefits."
"Boxing is great to do at home, because a lot of people don't want to take a class because they're embarrassed — they think it's going to be too hard, or they'll look stupid. That's not a problem at home, because you go at your own pace, and there's no one to look stupid in front of.
"It's also great because the benefits are really easy to recreate. Focus on three things: Cardio, upper body and lower body. Switch back and forth quickly among jogging or jumping rope, then punches, then kicks. Do each one for 30 seconds, and then repeat."
"Whether you have your own exercise bike at home or you're just riding a regular bike, getting the same benefits of Spinning is all about the music. Make yourself a great mix and be your own teacher. Pick a slow song, and that's your hill time — get up and down out of the saddle, and you'll be toning. Then a faster song for your seated sprints with recovery time. Let the music dictate the workout."
"Just turn on the music and go! That's the beauty of it — you just have fun. Get yourself a great mix of upbeat music, clear a 6′ by 6′ space and just dance and have fun."
"Skiing is a great workout, because it's all about unilateral movements, which means each side is working independently from the other. Your dominant side isn't doing all the work. You can recreate this at home or in the gym by doing lots of unstable exercises on a BOSU ball or balance boards, and doing unilateral moves such as one-legged squats. It's great for your core, and it gives you strength that translates into your everyday life and helps you with running, biking and more."
"Go on YouTube! It's seriously amazing what they have for free. The top guys out there know that to get the word out, they have to be available that way, so they're uploading awesome workouts every day.
"And of course, a DVD series like Supreme 90 Day is a great option — I charge a ridiculous amount for private sessions, but you can get the same benefits with the DVDs, and you really don't have to have someone standing next to you the whole time.
Bottom line: Even if you aren't sure how to exercise on your own, there are nearly unlimited ways to teach yourself and see great results — without dropping major bucks.
"Honestly, in today's digital world, information is free or at least very cheap. You can literally go to a place like SELF.com and get the same information the top trainers are giving their clients. Money isn't an issue anymore."
What are your favorite fitness-on-the-cheap tricks?

Sapphire CES 2013: Mini-PCs are the Future
Subject: Shows and Expos | January 9, 2013 - 09:11 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: Vapor X, sapphire, PCs, graphics, APU, amd
Sapphire was a quick trip with a few interesting things to show off. At the moment we are in a quiet period with AMD and NVIDIA graphics releases. While AMD has released a few of their mobile based 8000 series parts, we are still not expecting a major desktop refresh anytime soon. This is somewhat bittersweet for the graphics partners. On one hand they have more time to differentiate their products and create more value for their consumers. On the other hand there is no major push with new technology that will help the bottom line.
The company is not only involved with graphics, but has a long history of producing motherboards. They offer products for both AMD and Intel, but their primary focus is to address the APU market. FM2 is well fleshed out with Sapphire with A85X, A75, and A55 products. Sapphire does find it slightly easier to compete in the AMD market than going against the biggies in the larger and potentially more lucrative Intel market.
The area where they are hoping to experience the most growth in is the micro PC market. These are very small "desktop" style products based on mobile parts. These are robust little units which do not ship with an OS or the ability to build in an optical device. Due to Sapphire being such a strong AMD partner, they are primarily focusing on APUs in this market as well.
The Edge VS8 is the top product for Sapphire in this market. It is based on a mobile Trinity APU that is quad core enabled running at 1.6 GHz. The graphics portion is the 7600G, which looks to feature the entire complement of GCN units but obviously clocked down to save on power. The VS4 features Trinity but with a dual core processor running at 1.9 GHz.
The lower end Edge HD series is a slightly older unit, and the HD3 runs the last generation Llano processor. They also feature an Intel based HD4 that runs the Celeron 897 processor.
These PCs are shipped without operating systems and can also be bought in a barebones state. For example the VS8 comes standard with 4GB of memory and a 320 GB HD (spindle based). By buying a barebones version a user can easily stack as much memory as possible in the machine as well as use a SSD to give that much more performance.
Sapphire continues to offer their entire line of AMD based graphics cards and are really pushing their Vapor X technology. Which leads us to our next product. Sapphire will start introducing their CPU cooling designs to the market and will be using the Vapor-X technology. Vapor chamber cooling will be coming to the CPU market very soon and at competitive prices.

CES 2013 Video: AMD Temash Prototype plays DiRT Showdown at 1080p
Subject: Mobile | January 9, 2013 - 08:22 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, z-60, vizio, Temash, ces 2013, CES, APU, amd
While Josh taps away on a story about the updates to AMD's roadmap announced at CES this week, we stopped by the Experience Zone to see what demonstrations we could get our hands on. We ran into Chris who showed us two new interesting products. The first was an AMD Z-60 based tablet from Vizio running Modern Warfare 2 at high image quality settings compared to a currently selling Intel Clovertrail design. Where the AMD system had no issues and could play the game very smoothly, the other was running at an awful frame rate and with obvious visual glitches.
Secondly, and maybe more impressive, was the prototype tablet AMD showed using the upcoming Temash APU. Due out in Q2 of this year, Temash is an APU based on Jaguar CPU cores and GCN GPU cores - the first GCN based APU. They demoed an early unit running DiRT Showdown at 1080p (at low quality settings) and I found the visuals to be quite impressive! It looks like 2013 might turn out to be a better year for AMD in the mobile space than many expected.

CES 2013: MSI Launches A85XMA-E35 ATX Motherboard
Subject: Motherboards | January 9, 2013 - 08:21 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: msi, fm2, ces 2013, CES, atx, APU, a85xma-e35
MSI has launched another micro ATX motherboard for AMD APUs using the FM2 socket called the A85XMA-E35. Measuring 24.4 x 22.8 cm, the motherboard packs a number of MSI technologies including the company's ClickBIOS II UEFI BIOS and OC Genie II auto-overclocking software.
The micro ATX board features the FM2 socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots (16GB max), six SATA 6 Gbps ports, the Realtek ALC887 audio chip, a TPM module, PCI slot, two PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots, and a single PCI-E 2.0 x16 expansion slot.
Rear IO on the A85XMA-E35 board includes one PS/2 port, six USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, six analog audio jacks, and VGA, DVI, and HDMI video outputs.
In the end, the A85XMA-E35 board is very similar to the A85XMA-P33 motherboard covered earlier today. MSI has added beefier heatsinks, additional expansion slots, and HDMI output so it should carry a small premium over the other board. MSI has not released official pricing for the board yet, however.
You can find more specifications and photos of the FM2-A85XMA-E35 on company's product page.

CES 2013: MSI Launches A85XMA-P33 Micro ATX Motherboard With FM2 Socket
Subject: Motherboards | January 9, 2013 - 07:39 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: msi, micro ATX, mATX, fm2, ces 2013, CES, APU, amd, a85xma-p33
MSI announced a new micro ATX motherboard at CES this week. Aimed at supporting AMD's APUs, the MSI A85XMA-P33 is a socket FM2 motherboard that is replacing the company's existing A75MA-P33 motherboard. The new A85XMA-P33 is nearly identical to the previous board, but it uses AMD's A85X chipset rather than the A75.
The A85XMA-P33 features the FM2 socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots, and six SATA 6 Gbps ports. It also has one legacy PCI slot, one PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot, and a single PCI-E 2.0 x1 slot.
Rear IO on the micro ATX motherboard includes two PS/2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports (plus an additional 2 via motherboard header), three (6 channel) audio jacks, and a gigabit Ethernet port. Display outputs include a single DVI and a single VGA connector.
Other features include a five phase VRM and a UEFI BIOS. No official pricing has been announced yet, but you can expect it to be around the $70 mark. MSI has posted more photos and specifications on its website.

The A10 5800K on LN2
Subject: Processors | December 4, 2012 - 01:52 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, APU, A10 5800K, overclocking, LN2
It is worth remembering the AMD A10 5800K for a number of reasons, a mere $120 gets you not only a relatively decent CPU, the onboard 7660D will function quite effectively for streaming HD video or light gaming. As well it is unlocked which means you can overclock both processors; MadShrimps hit 1186MHz on the 7660D from the 800MHz base clock and could easily reach 4.5GHz on the CPU cores. Make sure to pick up memory of 1600MHz or more to feed that GPU and don't expect to see these overclocks on air, but perhaps a good liquid cooler might get you close to some of these scores. If you know someone who needs a new multipurpose PC and looks at you blankly when you ask if it needs to be able to play Crysis, you could do worse than AMD's A10 5800K.
"Who hasn't heard about the following phrase? The Future is Fusion! Unless you have been living under a rock for the last years, this AMD marketing slogan was pretty much everywhere. AMD wanted to create a platform that was mainly very affordable, where a dedicated graphics card was not a must, while being power efficient, especially for the mobile market and up to the task to satisfy our multimedia, digital desires/needs. One option already existed in the form of an integrated graphic chips solutions on the motherboard. However the latter had non-conforming performance for todays standards. This all lead to the creation of the APU, Accelerated Processing Unit. The first steps to make Fusion a reality. The FM1 socket Llano CPUs was AMD's first succesful try in this new market. As usual the competition caught up, so time for a new revision of the AMD APU. Hello world this is platform Virgo calling... Time to have a look at AMD's latest Trinity socket FM2 APU."

Zotac Updates ZBOX AD06 With New AMD APU
Subject: Systems | November 7, 2012 - 05:04 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zotac, zbox ad06, zbox, SFF, htpc, barebones, APU, amd
Zotac has updated its small form factor ZBOX AD06 PC with a new AMD Accelerated Processing Unit that features a faster GPU portion and a dual core Zacate CPU that Zotac claims offers up to a 10% boost in performance versus the previous ZBOX.
On the outside, the ZBOX AD06 is approximately the size of a Mini-ITX motherboard, comes with a bundled VESA75/100 mount (to attach it to the back of your monitor), and features a number of ports. Internally, the ZBOX AD06 features an AMD E2-1800 APU with two CPU cores at 1.7GHz and a Radeon HD 7340 GPU. The "Plus" version bundles in 2GB of DDR3 memory and a 320GB hard drive, otherwise it is very much a bare-bones system that allows you to add your own storage.
External ports and connectivity options include:
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 4 x USB 2.0
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- 1 x SD card reader
- 2 x analog audio jacks
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x S/PDIF optical audio output
- 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 4.0
The Zotac AD06 also features a bundled media center remote that will work with Windows Media Center or XBMC. And thanks to the more powerful APU, it should work well as a low-cost home theater PC. Unfortuantely, there is no word on pricing or when the AD06 or AD06 Plus will be available for purchase.

AMD Launches New Z-Series APU for Tablets
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | October 8, 2012 - 09:43 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: z-60 apu, tablets, radeon hd, APU, amd
AMD launched a new APU today meant for tablets and other mobile devices. The new Z-60 Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) is now the company's lowest power APU processor. AMD is primarily pushing this chip as the best choice for tablets as thin as 10mm that are capable of running Windows 8.
The Z-60 APU supports AMD's Start Now and AppZone technologies for fast boot and resume times and application repository respectively. AMD has stated that it identified a gap between low performance and high priced mobile devices, and believes the Z-60 APU fills that void. AMD Corporate Vice President of Ultra-Low Power Products Steve Belt further stated the following:
"Tablet users seeking an uncompromised experience for both creating and consuming content on the Microsoft Windows 8 platform now have a performance-driven, affordable option with the AMD Z-60 APU."
Interestingly, AMD has managed to bring the TDP of the new Z-60 lower than the previous generation without sacrificing hardware or needing a new manufacturing process. While the Z-01 is part of the Brazos platform (codename Desna), the new Z-60 is codenamed Hondo and part of the Brazos-T platform, which involves several tweaks to the design to get more power efficiency.
The Z-60 has two Bobcat CPU cores clocked at 1GHz, 1MB L2 cache, and a Radeon HD 6250 GPU with 80 cores. This APU has a TDP of 4.5W, which is a noteable decrease from the Z-01's 5.9W TDP when you consider that this chip is going to be used in a battery powered, mobile device. In fact, with a Z-60 APU, AMD is claiming up to eight hours of batery life. Further, thanks to the integrated HD 6250 GPU, the Z-60 can support Direct X 11, OpenGL 4.1, and OpenCL 1.1 graphics technologies.

When we all went to Corfu last month, I thought it was for the first time. But my mum, who came with us, said I'd been there before, when I was 12, on our first holiday abroad. I had no memory of it whatsoever, and despite my mum pointing things out (the arcaded cafes in Corfu Town's Liston, the six coves of Paleokastritsa...), no bells rang.
Was there any point, we began to wonder, in taking the kids? What would the 18-month-old twins remember - absolutely nothing, obviously. And, judging by my own experience, nor would nine-year-old Storme.
Reader Kay Brewer, now a grandmother, remembers travelling with her four daughters from age two up - but they don't: "The youngest complains that, having visited wonderful places when she was little, she remembers nothing, even with the prompting of photographs. How do you make sure that the kids take in all the amazing sights and scenes that you're presenting them with?"
I bought Storme a disposable camera, in the vague hope that it would encourage her to take note of what she saw. I also collected pamphlets about local attractions, restaurant bills, bus tickets - anything that was potential scrapbook material. But it was all binned as soon as we got home. It's my desire to make a documented record of the trip, not hers.
But I like to think something will linger. Even as toddlers, the twins must sense that people in different places speak differently and eat differently. Atlas-gazing is one of Storme's favourite activities. As Kay Brewer wrote, "Actually, now I come to think of it, my youngest has been all over the world, mainly on her own, since she was 17."
That's a better legacy than any scrapbook.

Symphony House
The developer of Symphony House, a breathtaking 32-story, $125 million condominium in Philadelphia, promised residents "a provocative design that takes from the grandeur and romance of the 1920s and gives it 21st century transformation." Coincidentally, the same could be said about the building's exterior, a majority of which features next-generation CarbonCast carbon fiber reinforced architectural wall panels.
CarbonCast Architectural Cladding panels use carbon fiber grid as secondary reinforcement in the panel face, replacing conventional steel mesh. A carbon fiber shear truss provides a low thermal transfer connection between a steel reinforced v-rib and the panel face. EPS foam is embedded in the panels for insulation to improve energy efficiency and reduce weight. Each inch of insulated panel cost only about half of what a solid-concrete panel would cost, creating immediate savings.
Three key requirements were aesthetics, color depth and consistency, and water-tightness. The water-tight requirement meant extensive testing to ensure there would be no microcracking or water absorption. The panels tested water-tight in category five hurricane conditions. The framing also includes fireproofing protection and insulation to keep the interior thermally stable.
The Symphony House panels were 7" thick and deeply articulated. But they weighed 66% less than conventional precast so they could be slab-attached, which in turn meant fewer columns and better designed interior spaces. The 5,000 psi panels were made with recycled and local materials.
Symphony House was located on poor soil, but CarbonCast cladding allowed better seismic performance with fewer columns and reduced superstructure and foundation requirements so ultimately there will be less mass and a smaller CO2 footprint.

Lawmakers Launch Online Drive To Stop JCP&L Rate Hike
If the thought of another rate hike for Jersey Central Power and Light has you fuming, a group of Republican Monmouth lawmakers are giving you a place to vent on the web…and they hope that the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities pays attention.
Assemblywoman Amy Handlin (R-13) organized an online petition urging the BPU to turn down the 14% increase that JCP&L seeks. The company attributes the request to costs associated with Hurricane Irene in 2011. Find it at http://www.tinyurl.com/norateincrease.
"Every voice counts, especially those who have been repeatedly kept in the dark for days waiting for JCP&L to do its job and turn the power back on," Handlin, R-Monmouth, said in a statement. "After several failures – most notably Hurricanes Sandy and Irene – many communities are exploring whether they can fire JCP&L. I haven't heard one argument to support giving the utility a raise."
The electricity supplier has undergone withering scrutiny for its handling of power restoration and communication in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Thousands remained in the dark weeks in the aftermath.
The Division of Rate Counsel claims that JCP&L maintains profits above 12% in New Jersey, exceeding the regulatory limit of 8.5%.
"The utility's performance in recent years has been dreadful and we're not going to just sit back and allow them to take more money out of our constituents' pockets to boost the bottom line of the parent company in Ohio, " Handlin said. "Our constituents are tired of overpromises and underperformances from JCP&L. The BPU should pull the plug on JCP&L's rate hike."
Signing on to the effort are her colleagues in the 13th Legislative District, state Senator Joe Kyrillos and Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon; Senator Jennifer Beck and Assembly Members Mary Pat Angelini and Caroline Casagrande (R-11); Assemblymen Ron Dancer and Rob Clifton (R-12); and Senator Robert Singer and Assemblymen Sean Kean and Dave Rible (R-30).

Peyton and Eli Manning: Football Cops [VIDEO]
Okay, it's an ad campaign for DirecTV. But still, it's one of the coolest things we've seen, especially since the NFL lockout is cutting way down on the football talk. The lockout has also given quarterbacking brothers Peyton and Eli Manning some extra time to do some more goofy commercials. They do them so very, very well, though!

RootsRated.com to Launch at Outdoor Retailer
For Immediate Release
Name: Fynn Glover
Company: RootsRated
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 423.316.1776
RootsRated.com, in partnership with Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, will introduce a new expertly-sourced digital recreation guide during Outdoor Retailer. Demonstrations of the technology will be available in the Horny Toad booth from 9am to 5pm Thursday through Saturday, and attendants are encouraged to use the resource to discover a great trail run or mountain bike ride before each days' non-stop meetings.
Through a partnership with the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, a coalition of the country's leading independent outdoor retailers, the platform will generate content for regional recreation areas by tapping into the authentic local knowledge of these retailers and their deep insider networks of conservationists, outdoor athletes, sales reps, guides, guide book authors, photographers, and enthusiasts. Content will be curated and constantly expanded.
"Grassroots Retailers are already the hub of local knowledge for trails, crags, and put-ins in their respective markets. RootsRated will give us a way to capture, syndicate, share and constantly improve this knowledge and most importantly make it more readily available to break down barriers to participation in these sports," states Mark McKnight, RootsRated partner and ecommerce Marketing Director for Grassroots retailer Rock/Creek.
By providing enthusiasts with a needed location-based utility, specialty outdoor retailers will also increase the visibility of their long-standing local expertise and engage customers in a dialogue about their local outdoor community. "The service is an interesting prospect of customer engagement technology for specialty retailers, along with cutting edge collaboration between the key players in outdoor-lifestyle communities across the country," states Gordon Seabury, CEO of Horny Toad.
RootsRated will empower adventurous and thoughtful people to find the most memorable local experiences. With a lightweight layout and an intuitive navigation that allows users to discover experiences based on a desired activity or sport, the platform is the perfect resource for those in search of the most authentic local knowledge.
