Sources from Gigabyte claim that the new card will be the best performing single-board graphics systems - at least when current scoreboards are considered.
Availability of the card is expected for the end of July or beginning of August of this year. There were no details on pricing of the card, but sources said that the GV-3D1-68G will cost about 10 to 15 percent less than two 6800 GT cards in a package. Current 6800 GT's fetch about $400 in stores, so we would take a guess that Gigabyte will aim at a price tag of about $680 to $700.

Although National Australia Bank's full-year profit has sagged, no big four bank has actually posted a full-year loss in two decades.
The last major bank to post a loss was ANZ Bank - $578 million in 1992 - as the nation climbed out of its last recession. Westpac posted a $1.67 billion loss in 1992, driven by a huge $2.2 billion write down linked to bad commercial property loans.
Since then profits have remained buoyant for the big four. Even through the global financial crisis, the major banks continued to mint profits, as skittish savers and borrowers sought the safety of big banks.
"Profitability is knocked around by provisioning and there was some very aggressive provisioning in early 2008-09 which, at the headline level, brought profits down," said CMC chief market strategist Michael McCarthy.
"Yet in the years before the GFC, from 2000 to 2007, the big four were routinely posting 7 per cent and 10 per cent profit growth every year," he said.
On Wednesday, NAB's full-year net profit fell 22 per cent to $4.08 billion because of rising bad debts in its UK businesses. More recently Bank of Queensland, sitting at ground zero in the state's soggy property market, posted a $17 million dollar full year loss two weeks ago.
Yet analysts continue to express confidence in the sector. "Banks are extraordinarily profitable," said Mr McCarthy. "It is a terrific franchise."
Australia's financial services sector has expanded following deregulation in the 1980s. The changes have helped underpin a boom in demand for home loans, which in turn have expanded banks' balance sheets, helping them reap massive profits.
Australian banks' ability to withstand the GFC have increased their allure to investors in the years since, even as the pace of borrowing slows.
In August, Commonwealth Bank posted a full-year profit of $7.09 billion, the largest result by a non-mining company in Australia. Last week, ANZ posted a record $5.66 billion full-year net profit. Last November, Westpac posted a full-year $6.3 billion profits.
The two decades of nearly uninterrupted profit growth at Australia's big banks have made them world famous for their robust earnings. But their market power has angered the public and politicians who say the banks have too much leeway in withholding interest rate reductions following official Reserve Bank interest rate cuts.

The Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II), also known as Midori-II, was launched on 14 December 2002. It follows the ADEOS mission, which ended June 1997. Design life of ADEOS-II was three to five years, but operations ended on 25 October 2003 because of insufficient electric power. ADEOS-II observes the distribution of chlorophyll, water vapor, sea water, sea surface temperature, and other variables related to the water, energy, and carbon cycles. Data will be used for the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Plan, the Climate Variation Research Plan (CLIVER) of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP).

The primary science objective of the ADEOS-II mission is to use multiple sensors to study clouds, water vapor, soil moisture, snow runoff, snow and ice, oceanic plant and organic material, and other climatic factors that influence environmental change. Specific objectives are to:
The ADEOS-II Mission Operation System (MOS), located at the Earth Observation Center (EOC) in Hatoyama, Japan, is the main planning organization for mission operations. The MOS plans the operation of ADEOS-II onboard instruments based on operation requests from sensor providers, schedules data downlinks, and plans tape-management operations.
ADEOS-II flies in a sun-synchronous, subrecurrent orbit.
The EOC Real-Time Control System coordinates and optimizes conflicts between several satellites, including ADEOS-II, and assigns an available antenna to receive data from each satellite. The MOS receives the antenna information pertinent to ADEOS-II and schedules X-band stations to receive mission data from the satellite.
The MOS serves as a Feeder Link Station for the Data Relay and Tracking Satellite (DRTS) and as a Direct Downlink Station for X-band direct transmission. The Kiruna (Sweden), Wallops (USA), and Alaska (USA) stations also receive mission data from ADEOS-II via X-band transmission, process into Level-0 data (except for POLDER and GLI 250 m), and transmit the Level-0 data to the MOS in Japan. The Showa receiving station in Antarctica receives GLI 250 m data from ADEOS-II via X-band transmission, and delivers data via tape once per year to the MOS.
The MOS processes mission data from ADEOS-II into Level-0 data and sends this to sensor developers via network communication or physical media. AMSR and GLI Level-0 data are processed into Level-1, -2, and -3 products.
For access to AMSR data from the ADEOS-II platform, please see the AMSR/ADEOS-II Data Web site.

The Royal Engineers EOD are based at Carver Barracks at Wimbish in Essex - formerly RAF Debden. Not sure how to contact them - I doubt there's a website...
Any help?
"Snow clearing equipment has been found under snowdrift" - message sent from RNAS Hatston, Orkney, 1944.
Start with your local police station, they have all the contacts for this sort of thing.
Years ago I had a summer job as a warden on a nature reserve that had been used for testing ordinance during the war. Bombs and rockets used to turn up on a weekly basis as the wind and tides moved the sand dunes around. We used to have the number for the navy bomb disposal teams pinned on the notice board by the phone!
Funny they never mentioned this when I went for the interview!!
Thanks Adrian, Gareth.
I wouln't touch bullets or anything larger myself that had been found in a field. Standard .303 is probably a relatively low risk, but there were tracers, de Wilde (explosive?) etc, and I'd hate to lose a paw as 1 in 1,000 accident. Any comment?
Do you really need to call out the bomb squad for .303 ammunition? Seems a little excessive, isn't it?
I would suggest a phonecall to the local police will do the trick. They'll know who to contact and which channels to set in motion, or at the very least they'll handle it themselves.
On a similar note - I was discussing this week with Mum and Dad that we'd better call the police about a live (I believe, but am not certain) 20mm cannon shell that was given to me when I was a teenager by an old guy who brought it back from the Pacific. He told me it was live and to be careful with it. Of course they parents instantly confiscated it, and it's been in a cupboard in Dad's workshop, long forgotten, since till I remembered its existence recently. Is it true that it could be really unstable and explode at any point - as was told to me recently?
Yes. Though not likely.Is it true that it could be really unstable and explode at any point
I wansn't sugesting we call 'em out - just we wanted some advice, or someone to give it to, or to 'render it safe' and without bothering the nice p'liceman, there didn't seem to be a way to get it!
See here: http://www.hse.gov.uk/lau/lacs/26-1.htm
1 The purpose of this circular is to advise enforcement officers of the possible dangers associated with ammunition kept as samples, souvenirs, patterns or in museums.
2 An incident occurred in an MOD unit in 1990 when a small mortar round of World War 1 origin fired whilst being handled causing serious injuries. Previously the mortar had been thought to be explosively inert as the percussion cap showed an indent where it had apparently been struck correctly by the firing pin at some time in the past.
3 Examination of similar items from other sources indicated that a contributing factor to the ignition of the propelling charge was the deterioration of the percussion cap casing allowing the chlorate ingredient of the cap to make contact with the sulphur ingredient of the gunpowder propellant. As such mixtures age they tend to become exceedingly sensitive to ignition by friction or impact and may explode with far greater violence than gunpowder alone.
4 Many otherwise stable explosive mixtures can become sensitive with age or if they make contact with incompatible materials due to deterioration of their immediate containers. Such items may not only become more sensitive to impact but are also liable to spontaneous initiation, especially in the case of old or badly stored propellants. MOD guidance is that all ammunition kept as samples, souvenirs, patterns or in museums should be examined by competent personnel to ensure that all components of the ammunition are free from explosives of all types.
5 Whenever possible each item of ammunition should be individually referenced and traceable to a "free-from-explosives" register identifying who certified the ammunition as inert and when. If possible it should be made self-evident that the explosives have been removed from inert rounds eg by drilling a hole in cartridge cases once the propellant has been removed. Items should be indelibly marked as having been checked. The markings should be unique to the establishment /museum/ pattern room concerned. Where items are generally available to persons other than the keeper, a record of "free from explosives" certificates should be maintained.
6 It is recommended that all ammunition is checked again by a competent person immediately prior to disposal. All ammunition sent for disposal should be accompanied by a statement from the consignor that it has been checked and is free from explosives.
7 It is understood that the above information has been circulated to all relevant personnel within the MOD. Museums, especially small private museums, may not be aware of the dangers detailed above. Annex 1 contains a draft letter which could be used by enforcement officers, if they think it appropriate, to alert museums to this problem.
8 As stated above, the preferred method of keeping examples of ammunition is to render them free from explosives. However there may be certain institutions who wish to store live ammunition. If so, then the keeper will need to ensure storage complies with the requirements of the Explosives Act 1875 and other explosives legislation. Where explosives are being kept for a long time the keeper needs to be aware that they can degrade with time and become more sensitive, and periodic checking of the stability of explosives and the integrity of any safety devices is advisable. Checking should be undertaken by a competent person (at an explosives factory if any breaking down is undertaken).
I suppose this is English...
"The Squadron could also deploy up to 2 personnel (one Officer/WO plus one SNCO) to establish the Rear ESA, together with NFU personnel, thereby providing storage for in-theatre stocks of air-delivered munitions and transit storage for weapons en-route from the SPOD to the DOBs."
Yes, sorry?
From: http://www.rafmarham.co.uk/organisation/asu/tas.htm
Thanks for that info James.
I'm worried now. I'd best talk to the police (our local version of Chief Wiggum ) and see what they can do.
Trust me I know from dealing with aforementioned MOD.
The place to contact is the local police station and from there they will contact the MOD to deal with it or the local police firearms team will come and take it away in a steel ammo box.
If there is a lot of it the MOD would probably want to investigate why there is so much though.

A great place to stay
Cranleigh is an impressive building and our room provided everything we could have wished for.
The staff were helpful and made us very welcome. We spent one night and would have loved to stay longer. Though a little way out of the town centre it was a short walk to the Abbey and main shopping district.

Stayed here for 2 nights, the room was beautiful and immaculate with plenty of complimentary toiletries and tea/coffee facilities.
The customer service was excellent, our room was upgraded on arrival as there was work being done on the room we originally booked and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The B&B does offer a shuttle free of charge into the town and offers great local advice as well as helping you book any of your tours.
We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again :)

Fantastic friendly service.
Great quiet location for a city break.
This BnB has a Victorian aire about it.
It's location is quiet, slightly out of the city, but just a 10 minute bus ride takes you into the centre of Bath.
My only concern was that my single room was a little cramped.
Great service and a warm welcome complete the experience.

Very disappointed upon leaving the hotel that they make a charge of 2% for paying by credit card.
We have booked with laterooms many times and have never been charged this before. I'm sure it was not mentioned at the time of booking.

Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling:
"Railsback and Grimm have done the heavy lifting required to establish a solid IBM course by providing a carefully crafted inquiry-based curriculum. This accomplishment removes a major impediment to the proliferation of IBM courses. Although the book seems aimed at a graduate-level course, I also do not see why an ambitious teacher with motivated students could not use this textbook as the basis of an upper-level undergraduate course in individual based modeling. Agent-based and individual-based modeling has the potential to foster an appreciation of the value and place of individual-based models in our field in the next generation of emerging ecologists (who already have computational leanings)."--Christopher X. Jon Jensen, Ecology
"Knitting together ecology, economics, and social systems, this wonderful book will encourage and enlighten novices and experienced modelers alike. It highlights the importance of patterns at every level of the modeling process, the need for clear explication of assumptions, and the benefits of models composed of discrete entities (agents) which interact, evolve, and mimic reality."--Louis Gross, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
"Railsback and Grimm provide a needed book on how to develop, code, and analyze agent-based models. They so expertly explain the art and science of modeling that even the most modeling-shy beginner will master the skills. Readers will also gain a deep understanding of the increasing importance of agent-based models for interpreting the patterns of nature and human society."--Donald L. DeAngelis, U.S. Geological Survey
"Railsback and Grimm have written a superb introduction to agent-based models. They combine hands-on programming exercises, introductions to some of the core concepts in complex systems, and instruction in model design and analysis. The result is an excellent book that's ideal for both undergraduates and academics."--Scott E. Page, author of Diversity and Complexity
"This exceptional book offers a systematic introduction to the scientific use of agent-based modeling, including the implementation, testing, and validation of models. Until now there was no good textbook available to teach students the theory and practice of agent-based modeling. Railsback and Grimm provide such a text, one that will likely become a classic in the field."--Marco A. Janssen, Arizona State University
"This book is an invaluable guide to agent-based modeling. A significant contribution to the field, it will train the next generation of modelers and teach best practices to existing modelers. Railsback and Grimm have in-depth expertise and experience in developing and teaching agent-based modeling, and are well qualified to write such a book."--Richard Stillman, Bournemouth University

First person adventure Dishonored has been named best video game of the year at the Bafta Game Awards.
Meanwhile, the Playstation 3 indie hit Journey beat big budget rivals to take home five awards at the prestigious award ceremony, hosted by Dara O Briain.
Dishonored, developed by France's Arkane Studios, beat the widely expected favourite Journey for the top prize.
Also nominated for that award were Far Cry 3 from Ubisoft , EA's FIFA 13, Mass Effect 3 from Bioware, and The Walking Dead from TellTale Games.
But Journey, by independent US developer Thatgamecompany in which players travel from a sprawling desert to find secrets of a forgotten civilisation, went home with most prizes, winning five awards after being nominated in eight of 17 categories.
Journey, the third game from Thatgamecompany following Flow and Flower, won awards for Artistic Achievement, Audio Achievement, Game Design, Online Multiplayer and Original Music.
The BAFTA prizes, started in 2003, are among the few awards for achievements in the gaming industry that is estimated to have trebled in size in the past decade with consultancy DFC Intelligence valuing the industry at $78.5 billion.
The host for the fifth consecutive year, Irish comedian and gamer Dara O'Briain, said the 53 games nominated this year included blockbuster titles but also games with more imaginative thinking from independent developers.
"This year's list shows a movement towards what animation can do and the imagination of that - it's a very interesting list," O'Briain said ahead of the ceremony.
Two awards were won by both survival horror game The Walking Dead and The Unfinished Swan, a game developed by Giant Sparrow and published by Sony.
The inaugural award for a British Game went to The Room, a puzzle adventure from developers Fireproof Games, which the jury described as "an engaging, enigmatic, beautiful, slow burn".
Daniel Krupa, games writer at video game website IGN, said the nominations for the BAFTA Game Awards highlighted the greater range of games that had emerged in recent years due to apps on smartphones and new distribution methods for games.
The BAFTA Game Awards - main winners

Below are two images - one of the entire basement and one with a closeup of the theater that I (crudely) drew. The HVAC ducts running horizontally through the center and bottom (in drawing) of the basement pose a limitation in the overall width of the theater. The ceiling height throughout is around 7' 10".
So, the theater measures 15'11" deep by 9'10" wide. With door access to the theater coming from the rear, I think my only option is to put the second row of seating on a small island. I'm not interested in excavating down so I think this will have to do.
The riser/stage in the front will house the large Von Schweikert front towers along with the Rogue Audio tube amps to power them. The remaining theater A/V gear will be located on the right wall when walking into the theater and there will be a projector overhead as well. The room will be used for two channel audio as well as full surround sound and I plan on loading up on isolation clips, Green Glue, bass traps, etc... I'm not sure what to do yet for the subwoofer(s). Looking at some of the other builds on here leave me wishing for tray ceilings, rope lighting, etc... though we'll see where things end up!
Kindly let me know your thoughts/limitations/concerns. I recognize that the space isn't enormous and while I'm estimating that most of the listening/viewing will be done by myself, I don't see a need for physical seating of more than four and other kids can use bean bags.
There are two return ducts running width wise the whole width of the basement so the ceiling clearance is less beneath those ducts. I stuffed the wet bar, wine storage, and arcade stuff under that area so that it can at least be utilized in a productive manner. We measured the height and a door wouldn't fit height wise under the ducts on the side (bottom theater wall in the drawing).
The thought went through my head to rotate the theater and have a single row of 3-4 seats at 9 ft from the screen
My place PROJECTS:Bacon Race, Ohio, Bethesda, Swizzle Stick, Summer Fun, Curve Frenzy, Staggered Walls, Rawlinsway, Lemonade,
Could the sink be moved to the outside wall. beside the toilet, to narrow the bathroom and
lengthen the theater?
Could the ductwork be enclosed in a soffit, to widen the room?
Then place the entry on the side wall and do a single row of seating.

Have you considered an DIY acoustically transparent screen? It'd give you a bigger screen, with improved speaker layout.
My place PROJECTS:Bacon Race, Ohio, Bethesda, Swizzle Stick, Summer Fun, Curve Frenzy, Staggered Walls, Rawlinsway, Lemonade,
There is a toilet trap that is in place that prevents me from extending the depth of the theater. I took a stab at modifying the basement drawing and ended up with the drawing below:
The theater is wider (not sure by how much but it looks like ~2' or so and maybe 2' deeper. This layout yields just a single row but it will at least be at a better distance than the initial. I could go with a single or double entry door - doesn't really matter to me. Double clearly has a nicer presence. The HVAC vents running along the bottom part of the basement (above where I have the AV Rack) will force me to put soffits around the edges of the theater which is fine. I would prefer to have can lights there so we'll see how that works when I start construction. There will be a narrow "hallway" in the rear of the theater and on the left side that is dead space but my initial thoughts area that this new layout may work better... haven't slept on it though!
I could easiliy move the arcade/pinball stuff elsewhere, and make the theater deeper and have the pinball/arcade space as a path to the pool area though that is not in my crudely marked up sketch right now.
I just hope that the inspector doesn't bark at the egress window location being back next to the bathroom... there isn't a bedroom going in but it will all be classified as a living space so hopefully it will suffice.
The water line and meter are in the bottom left of the drawing (where I initally) had a small utility "closet" so to speak. I could defeinilty move the AV rack to the left of the U.C. Refrigerator since that space is sort of odd anyways and widen the theater - the only issue is that there would be a giant soffit on the left of the theater (though it would be wider). I was just trying to come up with a way to use that otherwise wasted space. Having to mirror a giant soffit on the right side of the theater could be done - just not sure if it would look odd. Can measure it tonight. My guess is that the two main HVAC trunk lines are 4' wide x 10" deep (total)
Is expanding the finished floor space an option?
patter 1b.jpg 73k .jpg file
The arcade and pinball machine could be recessed into the storage wall, and the home server rack could be moved beneath the stairs
or into the storage space.
Would Gorilla racks in the storage area let you finish more space and still meet your storage needs?
Does that treadmill fold up? If so, it could go into a shallow storage closet.
How tall is that egress window?
Could the home server rack go under the stairs?

Both have acoustically transparent screens that could hide some of that short ductwork up front and hopefully
allow that ductwork to be rerouted, and/or tucked up further into the joist cavity. The fabric wing walls of the
front acoustically transparent wall, could be hinged panels to allow access to the utilities closet.
expand c.jpg 76k .jpg file
The staircase could be opened up, to create more open space.
The screen could be on a sliding track, for access to the closet. Squaring off the rest of that wall could house a large IB style subwoofer, or create an alcove
to recess subwoofers below the screen. Black fabric on the front wall could visually hide the doors to that closet.
You could plant the av rack outside the theater, so as to not waste square footage and theater width.
Rotated the home av rack. The rear access door could be disguised by a pool cue rack or artwork.
The added hallway could have some movie posters or artwork.
What great ideas! I truly love and appreciate the feedback that time that each of you put into the updated drawings. I like the "ëxpand a" layout that evolved.
The HVAC ducts along the bottom wall run 42" wide. I can box them in and make that into a soffit around the whole room. In the "expand a" drawing, the soffit is narrower in the front/rear which shouldn't look too out of place, right? The 42"on the left/right are sizable...
I don't see a way around leaving a narrow "hallway" to access the main water line/meter into the house in the bottom left corner. Perhaps 3' wide with a door to access that space.
I love that the door to the theater could be between the front row and the screen and I think that I can live with a shorter door since it will be under the HVAC ducts just above the top wall of the theater. Those ducts are 31" wide but that doesn't matter since they are out of the theater That actually leaves a pretty good space for the pool/game area.
The theater can be 14' wide by 25' (already taking out 3'). This is way bigger than my initial plan where the theater was on top and only 10x16 so thank you! I'm not going to do an AT screen since I prefer to see the (beautiful) speakers. The subwoofers could go below the front theater wall in the dead space.
What's the average height of most risers for a second row?
Again, thanks for the help! I'll post an updated drwaing ASAP.
P.S. Too funny about the frank Costansa/Kramer pool table story.
black floor to ceiling fabric panels in a repeating pattern. The screen could be mounted to slide over to the right, for door access. (That's what I was going for,
with expand c....) You could also use the depth of the rest of the wall, to recess any subwoofer/s below the screen, or create an IB subwoofer.
As for soffits, my front soffit over the AT screen, is about 1" deep. The back soffit is maybe 2" deep, while the side soffits are symmetrical. I thought you had
some HVAC sheet metal in the upper top corner of the theater, so my thinking was an AT screen with a deep soffit would eliminate the HVAC from the room.
Stage height varies. If you have your seating selected, a side view sight line drawing (with seated eyes placed in space), will give you the height needed, so
the second row sees the bottom of the screen. Screen size comes into play, where you need to make sure the screen doesn't force the center channel too low,
as the front row will block the center channel (and dialog). If your space is height challenged, you could do a shallower riser and a second riser on top, one
that is basically just seating sized, plus foot rest room.
I also have my doorway between the screen and seating, under a main joist. The door is cut down 4" to fit. The only other doorway in the basement is also
cut down, so they match.
expand a1.jpg 217k .jpg file
New theater room:
25' 6" deep by 15' wide by 7' tall
Perimeter sofit because of HVAC: 42" wide by 10" tall. It's a pretty sizable sofit but I'm driven to do so because of the HVAC ducts running the whole length of the theater on the left (bottom in drawing).
So here is a sketch after the feedback thus far. I have the front row about 12' away from the theater and the rear is just under 19' away. Using the "theater calculator 4.0"(which is a handy tool), it shows that the `front row is near enough to fall within recommendations. I'm pretty sure that I can fit a 96 inch screen and I just need to do a front wall drawing to verify though I'm pretty sure it's OK.
Behind the 2nd row of seating, I can either do nothing with it or put a bar and some stools though I'll need to measure to see if height is an issue or not since it's under a soffit. Quick math, the height under the riser and under the soffit is 5 1/2. That is probably not going to work unless for kids.... scrap it? I'm totally content with seating for six - it just seems like otherwise wasted space if nothing is there. Not a big deal...
There is a drain pipe that I can't move.... it's in an odd space that I can't incorporate into the room. What is the best of the worst things to do with this? I could mirror it on the other side to be symetrical.
Impressions? Thoughts? Anything terrible?
The issues I see right off the bat, are:
The bar seating is right on top of the surround speakers. How do you plan
to set the rear surround level so those speakers aren't distracting and
draw undue attention to themselves, at the bar row? Bar stools aren't all
that comfortable for a 2 hour movie either. I'd skip the bar row and use the
cash savings elsewhere, like zoned lighting, or reworking the drain.
The advantage of having all that empty space is that no seats are on top of
surround speakers. And no seating is near wall boundaries. Great for audio.
Seating at ten feet for an 8' wide screen is pretty tame. (I consider those THX
specs a little long in the tooth, with 1080P and brighter projectors.) You could
pull all the seating forward a foot or so. Or widen the front "hallway" perhaps.
Maybe work in some gorilla racking for storage, to make that space more useful.
If you did a hidden access panel for the water and gas, pulled
the room forward, and went with a full width riser, could you reroute that drain
into the side wall and back to where it enters the floor, under a riser step?
Is that 7' of height under the soffit?
You could also do a single step height riser, wall to wall, and to the back of the room.
Put it to work as a broad bass absorber and then have an island style riser that is foot
room plus seating on top of the riser. Preserves headroom under the soffit and gives
you a way to run the plumbing over and into the wall.
Another thought is to break the floor and do a little plumbing extension to the side wall.
Might be money well spent to get the room right, and remove a noisy drain from the
The front row seats appear to be at the center of the room's length. Don't want that...
Your side surrounds as drawn, makes the second row the primary viewing row.
The entry door will need to swing inwards, to meet building code.
patterr d.jpg 141k .jpg file
It also gives you back some of the storage space.
Using that hallway as a storage room with gorilla rack or similar, maybe
you could lengthen the upper room to full width?
reworked.jpg 161k .jpg file
Not up to date on all the issues of the room but I certainly second the following points.
Screen needs to be larger or viewing distance smaller or BOTH
Shortening the viewing distance would allow for a wider and more usable storage space, seems to make a lot of sense.
Side surrounds should be pushed forward some (maybe 120 deg from first row primary seat)
Front seats shouldnt be in center of room (since you can avoid it)
Although its tough knowing you could fit 8, I understand the headroom issues and think your making the right call, you can easily bring in chairs from the card table if needed, and im pretty confident that you will love putting a nice dent in that front center PRIMO SEAT!
Side surrounds work dead center between the seating rows if dipoles.
Direct radiators should be at the end of the primary seating row.
Yeah, I scrubbed the idea of an AT screen because the room will also be for 2 channel listening and I wish to see the speakers. They are Von Schweikert VR4 S/R towers that blew me away when I demo'd them. Here's a pic so perhaps you'l see why I don't want to hide them.
Just realized I didn't leave space for the subs... hmm.
I have my first row 9.5' away from the 100" screen and the second row 14' away. I think I should move the second row closer, no? In that case, I could (later) fit a bar stool area behind row #2 OR shave off 4' from the back of the theater and have that as the "hallway" to the other half of the basement. Then again, I'd have to move the rack to the right wall of the theater. Having 7-8' in the rear of the theater is dead space to me... what is typically done here? I don't have the soffit the rear of the theater the full 42" so it could be taller... hell, I guess I could put another row of seating...?
I have the front amps, preamp, CD, and turntable situated below the screen... perhaps not traditional for a theater but it will be a multipurpose theater/two channel room so it won't bother me. The only thing that I'll need to mitigate, I believe, would be the glow from the tube amps on the Rogue Audio M-150s from the projector screen
So many options... I just need to go down there with some 2x4s and start framing....
The treadmill does fold up, and can be stashed pretty easily in the basement. The egress window, while not currently there, will have to go on the left wall near the bathroom so that wall will be vacant. I can throw the wet bar on the opposite side of the wall from the sink in the bathroom (sorry, haven't drawn the rest of the basement in Visio yet. The home audio rack can be moved pretty much anywhere in the storage area (top right in basement layout) (though I'm kicking myself since I already started terminating wires) It won't fit under the stairs, no biggie - that's where the (small) theater rack will end up going.
Thanks, again!!
I think those angled walls would create reflective side wall issues. And the decorations
might very well become stuff that needs to be rattle proofed with a system of this caliber.
Rob, I moved the storage doorway over, to fit in the refrigerator, and a cabinet beside. My thinking
was a cabinet could be a single drawer dishwasher down low, with a bar sink above. Above
the cabinet could be the egress window. Choose a tilt and turn style window. The ones we have,
tilt in and lock for ventilation and open inwards, like a door, for egress and cleaning. Our kitchen
window also has a disappearing screen option that rolls up. All four sides feature locking pins and
metal frames, and the window can't be pried open.
So I have to wonder how big/tall does that egress window need to be? Years ago, a neighbour's home
was burglarized with a nice muddy boot print left in their kitchen sink, so that got me thinking...
The shelving I stuck on the outside wall as I figured the space above the shut offs could be put to

Ahh I see! No worries about shelves rattling as any competent carpenter or basically anyone can dampen vibrations. When you speak about acoustics, it's about directing sound to the audience the most efficiently. But I guess a fully squared theater room is simpler and aesthetically pleasant.
About that drawing, when you're drawing something like that, what is shaded is what you're cutting through. In this case, you're cutting at 5ft above the floor so the stage shouldn't be seen as a wall that is being cut but soft lines.
About egress windows, they need to be 42"-to 44" above your finished floor with a window width of at least 24". Look up your town's code, keywords "egress window" and "window well" for a more detailed info regarding your town.
What is shaded is a rectangular soffit, but often people match their soffit with a the curve of a stage. It was
just a quickie cut and paste diagram and I simply followed Rob's lead. My drafting days are pre pc and my
computer drawing skills aren't up to
Then I guess one could stack a single drawer dishwasher into the lower section of a cabinet, then have a solid
fixed panel above, and then the countertop with a sink. Then the upper area could be an egress window. The
dishwasher could even be faced with a wood drawer front to blend it into the cabinet.
I don't need an egress window for a basement, until there's a bedroom. However, there is a RedZaw sitting in
the garage and I plan to add a large window for light, and since it match all the other windows, it would meet
those standards of egress.

World Chefs: For Mina great food is a balancing act
By Patricia Reaney
ATLANTIC CITY (Reuters) - With 18 restaurants dotted around the United States and three more due to open soon award-winning chef Michael Mina says preparing memorable meals is all about balance.
The Egyptian-born chef and cookbook author, who is based in San Francisco, started his career as a teenager cooking in a local restaurant in Washington state and later studied at the Culinary Institute of American in Hyde Park, New York.
Since establishing his reputation with Aqua in San Francisco, Mina has served his innovative dishes to customers across the United States.
Executive chef Wesley Holton has joined his Seablue restaurant at the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, and Mina will debut a cafe and two restaurants at The Four Season Hotel Baltimore in November.
Mina spoke to Reuters about his approach to cooking, his business partnership with tennis great Andre Agassi and cooking for three U.S. presidents.
Q: What is your secret to creating great food?
A: "There are four components -- acidity, sweetness, spice and the fat content -- the richness. Those are the four things you have to constantly balance. They have to be in balance. Salt and pepper have to be there but the reality is those are the four ingredients you have to keep in balance.
"So when you add spice to something, you have to balance it with some sweetness and some acid, but you have to balance it. So when I am tasting food that is what I am thinking of. Not every dish has to have all four. But when you have all four, it is a complex dish ... Continued...

Los Angeles • Disney and Marvel could be one of the finest teams around.
Continuing the success of their superhero franchise, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has set a record as the biggest domestic April release ever. The Disney sequel debuted with $96.2 million, topping the previous record-holder, 2011's "Fast Five," which opened with $86.2 million.
"The Winter Soldier," which stars Chris Evans as the shield-wielding superhero and Scarlett Johansson (whose sci-fi film "Under the Skin" also debuted this weekend with $140,000) as Black Widow, commanded 32 international markets last weekend.
Expanding to Russia, Australia and China in its second week, the Marvel comic adaptation, boasting a budget of over $170 million, earned $107.1 million internationally this weekend, bringing its overall worldwide haul to more than $303 million.

SideOneDummy Introduces Thriftstore Masterpiece
Wed, 15 May 2013 13:11:32
Pete Yorn Photos
Pete Yorn Videos
Now this will certainly thrill passionate music fans with an appreciation for the past and musical history and legacies.
SideOneDummy Records is introducing Thriftstore Masterpiece, an all-star music collective devoted to paying homage to the underdog records of years past. The star-studded group will release its first album, a revival of Lee Hazlewood's 1963 debut Trouble Is a Lonesome Town, on July 9, 2013 and can be pre-ordered at store.sideonedummy.com.
So exactly what is the Thriftstore Masterpiece? Well, we are glad you've asked.
Brought together by producer/bandleader Charles Normal, this Trouble Is a Lonesome Town features a prestigious lineup of artists including Pete Yorn, Frank Black (Pixies), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), Courtney Taylor-Taylor (The Dandy Warhols), Eddie Argos (Art Brut) and several others. To make this unique collection of re-invented tales even more special, the album will be released on what would have been country singer and original artist Lee Hazlewood's 83rd birthday.
Producer and mastermind Charles Normal first stumbled upon Trouble Is a Lonesome Town while perusing a thrift store in Norway in the early 2000s. After falling in love with the album, Normal decided to record it as a more orchestrated statement, along with friend Frank Black (Pixies) and his brother, singer Larry Norman. The project stalled when Norman passed away of a heart attack in 2008 but thanks to the prompting of Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock, Charles rounded up a few more talented friends to finish what he had started.
Now, several years later, Charles' vision of Trouble Is a Lonesome Town will finally get its much-deserved time in the spotlight.

Since the MCLA tournament is May 11-15, this is technically a little past midseason point as teams get deeper into conference games and the tougher parts of their schedule.
The only consistency in the polls has been Michigan and Chapman, who are sitting at one and two, respectively, where they've been all season. Both are undefeated although they've each had some close calls. The Wolverines escaped Oregon in overtime and topped Arizona State 11-10 earlier in the season. Bit by the injury bug, Michigan has been without starting attackman Clark McIntyre, midfielder David Rogers, and Michael Bartomioli, the team's best defensive midfielder. All are expected to be back for the conference tournament and possibly before the team's trip to Colorado to take on CU and CSU.
Colorado State also remains unbeaten with a 10-0 record heading into a tough second half of the regular season schedule that includes Minnesota-Duluth, Michigan, Michigan State and BYU. Ranked 11th in the preseason, CSU has now sat in the No. 3 slot for three weeks after beating Arizona State 14-10 in mid-March.
Loyola Marymount, Texas State, Central Florida and SUNY Buffalo, all unranked in the preseason, now find themselves in the MCLA poll. Loyola Marymount, which sits at No. 15, is 10-3 with wins over Colorado and Texas and UCF has rattled off five straight wins but will face one of their toughest tests in Florida on Friday.
While Michigan has been on the receiving end of a lot of hype for the past two seasons (and rightfully so) it's the Colorado State Rams who have dominated at the men's club level, playing in the national championship game seven of the last 11 years and bringing four titles back to Fort Collins. The Rams were uncharacteristically ousted in the first round last year, losing a one-goal game to Chapman but appear to be a national title contender once again.
Cooper Kehoe's 27 goals and 24 assists lead the Rams and face-off man Scott Gelston has been a difference-maker in games, posting a .734 win percentage so far this season. After transferring from Denver to play football and lacrosse for Colorado State, Greyson Konkel has been a pleasant surprise to the CSU coaching staff. Possibly one of the best two-way midfielders in the MCLA, Konkel has put up 20 points in 10 games.
"He has a tenacious attitude and he doesn't accept losing and that's been carried through rest of team," says coach Alex Smith. "It's hard to imagine there are many guys that can match up with him."
The Rams' schedule for the remainder of the regular season is no picnic: Colorado, No. 6 Minnesota-Duluth, No. 1 Michigan, No. 8 Michigan State, No. 5 BYU. In what has become known as the Rocky Mountain Showdown, CSU will face in-state rival Colorado at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday.
The Buffs, who dropped from 10 in the polls last week to not ranked this week, fired head coach Pete Stevenson after starting 2-4 and losing three straight to Utah, Loyola Marymount and Chapman. Colorado dismantled the Rams 11-4 last year at Folsom Field, the first time they'd won a game in the series since 2000, when Smith was still a player at CSU. Assistant Mike Ryder has taken over as Colorado looks to gain some ground in the RMLC standings.
"They're a talented group of kids," Smith said of their rival. "We definitely made mention of it because it's a fact. They lost their coach and it can go one of two ways – they can either implode or they can get a spark and play better and that's what we're planning on. Sometimes things like that make you better."
The MCLA's largest conference could also be one of the more interesting ones to watch down the stretch as Florida State, last year's conference tournament champion, battles with Florida and Virginia Tech for SELC supremacy. FSU, Florida and Virginia Tech started the season ranked eighth, fifteenth and fourteenth, respectively, in the polls and all three have moved up. Florida State is seventh, the Gators are 10th and VT is 12th.
Florida and Virginia Tech battled in late March with Florida getting the 14-13 win. Ryan Akin scored five goals and added two assists for Florida in the win and goalie Grant Schwartz made 21 saves. Jon Tuttle had three goals and four assists and David Stanton put up five goals and one assists for the Hokies.
Rivals Florida and Florida state will face off on April 10 prior to FSU's spring football game in what could be one of the better games played this season and the last regular season game for both teams before the SELC tournament starts April 23.
The SELC added two teams to the conference tournament this year; eight teams will play for the SELC crown rather than six as there have been in past years. In a tournament known for late season upsets and three teams who are all capable of winning the automatic qualifier to the tournament in Denver, this is definitely the conference to watch heading into the later stages of the season.
The Ducks and the Bulldogs have quietly played their way to impressive records this season, both sitting at 6-2 with Oregon ninth in the polls and Duluth coming in at No. 6.
Oregon has relied on solid defensive play through this point in the season, holding every opponent they've played to single digits in scoring, including offensive juggernaut Michigan, who beat the Ducks 5-4 in overtime on a freezing night in Dallas. On the offensive end, three-time All-American attackman Justin Blackmore leads the team with 14 goals and six assists. The Ducks have lost two straight heading into Thursday's matchup with Chapman but with Simon Fraser dropping five game and slipping out of the rankings, the PNCLL appears to be Oregon's to lose.
Minnesota Duluth got behind early against Michigan and couldn't recover after trailing 9-2 at halftime and eventually losing 14-7, their worst loss of the season. Offense has been the strength for the Bulldogs. Midfielder Daniel Pitzl has a strong outside shot and attackman Kevin Gaydos is the team's best finisher but as a team, Duluth has struggled with midfield defense, getting caught by teams who can move the ball fast through transition.
A few players who were on our radar for potential player of the year honors early in the season have lived up to the expectations and there are a few new names as well.
Trevor Yealy, attack, Michigan: You could say Yealy single-handedly beat Minnesota-Duluth for Michigan last week, scoring nine goals in a 14-7 victory over the No. 6 team in the nation. Having not missed a beat all season, Yealy is leading the Wolverines with 32 goals, which is 20 more goals than their next leading scorer, freshman Thomas Paras.
Connor Martin, attack, Chapman: A preseason favorite, Martin hasn't disappointed, putting up 28 goals and 43 points through nine games so far this season.
Cooper Kehoe, attack, Colorado State: One of the top attackmen in the MCLA, Kehoe is an athletic, complete attackman who's brought a lot of extras to his game this season. His hard work on his feeding has paid off as he's leading the Rams with 21 assists.
Ryan Westfall, midfield, Arizona State: The do-it-all midfielder has helped ASU shake off two straight losses to Michigan and Colorado State earlier in the season, scoring three goals in a 10-9 win over Minnesota-Duluth and putting up four in a 14-7 rout of UCSB. ASU has won four straight and is sitting at No. 4 in the polls with Oregon next on the docket this weekend.
Eric Nelson, attack, Arizona State: He doesn't get hyped up as much as the Westfalls but Nelson leads the Sun Devils with 24 goals and 16 assists and is the kind of player who makes everyone around him better.
John Goodrich, goalie, Florida State: Goodrich has posted a 5.7 goals against average and a .672 save percentage so far this season. He made 20 saves in a key win over Virginia Tech and will be a key player for the Seminoles heading into the SELC tournament.

Karl Rove: Fox News' Unlikely Voice Of Reason
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
On the list of "Most Shameless Political Hacks in America," Fox News political analyst and former Bush adviser Karl Rove certainly ranks near the top.
In recent years, when he hasn't been rewriting history to shelter his former boss from any responsibility for the current state of the country or forwarding the GOP Smear of the Day, Rove has spent much of his time attacking Obama and Democrats for doing precisely the types of things the Bush administration and Republicans did during Bush's tenure in the White House.
It's a sad commentary on the state of Fox News that someone with Rove's storied history of dishonesty has seemingly emerged as a voice of reason at the network.
On Friday night, Rove went on Greta Van Susteren's show and labeled Donald Trump a "joke candidate" who is "off there in the nutty right" due to his "full embrace of the birther issue." Rove's harsh words place him at odds with several of his Fox colleagues.
For a nice contrast, watch some of the interview that Sean Hannity conducted with Trump that aired on Hannity just before Rove's interview with Greta, during which Hannity helped Trump promote his birtherism. Hannity later attributed Trump's popularity to his "torpedos of truth" and the fact that Trump is taking on "controversial issues." He also aired graphics like this one during his show:
Hannity certainly hasn't been alone in his Trump boosterism at Fox. This morning, during Trump's regular Monday segment on Fox & Friends, host Steve Doocy dipped his toe into the birther swamp by saying that Obama "could end" birtherism "simply" by releasing his birth certificate.
Fox's senior vice president of business news Neil Cavuto has defended Trump as a serious presidential candidate and declared that "we could do worse." Cavuto thinks Trump "talks like a boxer" and is "frank."
The rift over Trump isn't the first time Rove has been on the opposite side of conservatives (and Fox colleagues) about a GOP candidate.
Last year, Rove said that the GOP candidate in the Delaware Senate race, Christine O'Donnell, had a "checkered background" and that she did not "evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness." Rove was pilloried for his comments by conservatives, including by regular Fox News guest Michelle Malkin, who said that Rove "came across as an effete sore loser."
Fox hosts and personalities had spent months hyping O'Donnell and her candidacy, and Rove being Rove, he eventually backpedaled and said that he had "endorsed" O'Donnell and stated that he is "for the Republican in each and every case."
Rove has also repeatedly criticized Sarah Palin and questioned her fitness for the presidency.
Rove's apparent disgust with Trump certainly doesn't come from a moral code that prevents him from trafficking in offensive smears of Democrats -- as just one example, Rove claimed during the health care reform debate that the Obama administration was pushing veterans toward "assisted suicide." As always, Rove's foremost concern is with the electoral prospects of the GOP. Though I hesitate to cite Rasmussen, a poll he released today confirms concerns about Trump's electability: Only 65 percent of Republicans would support him in a general election race against Obama.
In fact, Trump's birtherism and general clownishness are putting Rove's entire network in an awkward position. Based on numbers alone, a decent chunk of Fox's audience likely adheres to the birther nonsense. The hosts and personalities need to balance keeping their audience happy with the network's foremost goal: GOP boosterism.
Of course, if Trump is somehow able to secure the GOP nomination, expect Rove's concerns about his embrace of the "nutty right" to fade away. After all, he's "for the Republican in each and every case."

The Bearcats return home with a surprising set of concerns after a 28-14 loss at Fresno State.
FRESNO, Calif. -- Unacceptable. Disappointing. Should have played better.
Those were the words coming out of the mouths of Bearcats players and coaches as the final sentences were penned on the first chapter of the Butch Jones era at the University of Cincinnati.
By any stretch of the imagination, the 28-14 defeat at Fresno State lived far from the reality this team expected to habitate when stepping foot on the plane en route to the San Joaquin Valley.
But, as with every college football team in the country, the Bearcats learned lessons about themselves during the opening game of the year. Some left a painful mark like the bruises on QB Zach Collaros after suffering eight sacks. Others were mental scars like those left on a contingent of players digesting their first regular-season loss at UC in nearly two years.
Regardless, as the Bearcats stepped off the plane and onto the tarmac set against the rising sun early Sunday morning, they walked into a new reality with all new challenges.
"Ever since I have been at Cincinnati we have won," defensive tackle John Hughes said. "We just have to take it under the chin and keep moving on. We have Indiana State next. We have to start preparing tomorrow. That's what it is."
This new reality feels more like a bizarro world for the Bearcats. It's one where the questions surround the offense and optimism engulfs the defense. It's a far cry from 45-44 at Heinz Field.
The team with the potent weapons were unable to fire bullets for the final three quarters Saturday night. Collaros went down eight times for a total of 64 yards in the wrong direction. The Bearcats were sacked 15 times all of last year. They scored their lowest point total since a 13-10 win at Rutgers on Oct. 11, 2008. UC ran for 15 yards on 32 carries.
The problems were as surprising as they are serious. But this is the new reality. This is the new challenge for this team.
Teams have recovered from worse. In fact, the shining Brian Kelly era involved losses much more lopsided than this: 40-16 at UConn and 52-26 at Oklahoma in 2008. That team won the Big East and played in the Orange Bowl.
It's been done before.
The Bearcats aren't bailing on the season after Saturday's defeat. They may be a bit dazed, but they know where the problems lie and Jones is determined to fix them.
"All I know is it is just disappointing," Jones said. "We expect to win. We have very high expectations and standards. We didn't meet those standards and expectations today, but we will get those corrected."
Collaros plans on correcting those as well. He finished 24-of-41 for 241 yards with one TD passing and another rushing.
Too many times he held on to the ball instead of throwing it away. And too many times he found himself running for his life. And for the first time in his career, he finds himself dealing with a loss.
Collaros was perfect in his two years as the starting QB at Steubenville High, owning two state championshp rings as a reminder. He went 4-0 as a starter last season.
He wore disappointment as clearly as his sweat-drenched undershirt outside of Bulldog Stadium, but you don't win 34 consecutive games without mental resolve and leadership. Collaros knows it will be tested now more than ever.
"We got a good group of guys and we have to bounce back from this," Collaros said. "Give a lot of credit to Fresno, they played really great. We just got to clean up the mistakes. I think we can bounce back from this and make it a positive."
Sure, the list of ways to describe Saturday night's loss are as lengthy as a Thesaurus, but this team refuses to be defined by one game. They may have little choice, but accepting the challenge of this new reality begins the next chapter in a book that most certainly can still contain a happy ending.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Slippy, Jun 27, 2007.
He looks incredibly quick at 6'5". That final drive of the game with the and1 was great.
I think he may be better than Blalock
He could even get his first bucket before his 8th game.
Wait a minute....he had a good SL game but let's not get carried away.
NBA.com Rodney Stuckey: Ready to Rumble This is not from a homer. So, hopefully some good things to come from Stuckey for the Pistons.
another article from the live blogger at nba.com: Forums: Stuckey Shows Improvement in Blogs in
Stuckey played really well. I know it's only the SL, but I haven't seen a Detroit guard have that kind of game in a long time. He might not be big this year, but you can see serious potential for him once he learns the NBA game and develops a feel for what you can and cannot do.
It won't take as long as a lot of people think for him to become a serious big time scorer (per minute played) in the NBA. What will take time for him to get up to NBA speed will be his point guard passing skills. It will also take him a while to bring his defense up to Piston levels, but that should come quicker than his point guard development.
Obviously just going off a couple summer games and his college stats, but Stuckey's a good passer. He isn't Kidd, but he knows when he should pass and what pass to make (and makes it). He's a scorer first, but he's more of a willing (and able) passer than most guys called combo guards. He understands the game. He's also a better defender than people are giving him credit for so far. Porter mentioned how good his defense was after yesterday's game. He isn't Hunter (of 5 year's ago), but he'll compete.
Agreed. I think Billups defense is a little overrated, and he doesn't make many flashy plays either, and most of us are happy to pay him an average of $12+ million through his 30s. The nice thing about Stuckey is that he gets the ball and looks to do something with it. Not a lot of hesitancy deciding if he should pound the air out of it, or dribble around in circles. He either passes, shoots, or drives. No one is going to mistake this guy for Lindsey Hunter on offense, even if his shot is not falling.
The pro game is nothing like the college game. Being a successful point guard in the NBA is way more complex and difficult than it is in college. Being a good passer certainly helps but if that was all there was to it then there would be a dozen or more NBA point guards getting a dozen or more assists a game. Pro defenses are way way more complicated than college defenses and the talent level of course is much better. Even though people think that the pro game is about offense it is a lot more about defense than people think and a lot more about defense than college basketball is. It will take Hot Rod a while to master the intricacies of being an NBA point guard. Nash was not a all star point guard from the get go. In fact he never averaged over 5.5 assists a game in his first 4 years. So there is no reason to expect Hot Rod to master the point guard position so quickly. Steve Nash Statistics - Basketball-Reference.com
I think you misunderstand what Rodney is and what role he is here to play. He isn't here to develop into Steve Nash or Jason Kidd. He's here to be a scorer that can play point guard and shooting guard. He's capable of doing that right now. He will likely/hopefully get better at it as he progresses, but that doesn't mean he isn't ready to do it now.
If you say so. Have a nice day.
You might also want to clue Joe D. in on that, because I think he is also under a misconception of what Hot Rod's role will be with the Pistons down the road.
They are looking for Stuckey to be Joe Dumars.
I don't think he is at all. I imagine if you brought up Steve Nash as a future comparison he'd chuckle. There's a reason Dwyane Wade and Chauncey are brought up in comps to Stuckey. They're scorers who play point.
Hobbs has a point here, no reason for people to get upset for his opinion. Stuckey was n ot drafted to be a pass first PG, that was Blalock. All the rhetoric I here from Joe is that Stuckey is a scorer that can develop into an all round PG. Yes, clearly as a point he will need to learn the NBA game and facilitate, but for awhile I mostly expect him to score. The biggest complaint recently has been the lack of a true bench scorer and I know Joe drafted Stuckey to fill this role, it definetily wasn't Afflalo / Meija. Stuckey was defintily not drafted to primarily facilitate scoring from the bench.
His slashing and free throw line pull up jumper look pretty Wade-like to me. No comparison is perfect. When was the last time we had a draft pick contribute right away? This could be unprecedented in the Dumars era.
I don't give a damn if he's a pg, sg, combo guard or combo meal; what I do care about is can we put him on the court with Amir & Max to give the starters a rest and add energy, scoring and athleticism to the game so that when the main guys are on the bench we have some guys who can step in and contribute. If the VSL is any indication of that then we should be very happy.
Separate names with a comma.

My Tomcat, Model 3032, needed a thorough cleaning, so I field stripped it, like I've done many times before, but this time I decided to remove the grips so I could clean the frame.
While cleaning the gun it slipped out of my hands and fell onto the table. It only fell about 6 inches and onto my cleaning pad, but the safety lever fell out and the hammer fell forward. I managed to get the safety lever back in, but when I reassembeled gun, the safety wouldn't work. I looked in my manual to see if there was something I could do to fix this, but found that it says "specifically" to not let the hammer fall when the slide or grips are removed. What have I done? How do I repair this or should I just take it to a gunsmith? :?: :(

LONDON, (Xinhua): Finance ministers and central bank governors from the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations countries are now gathering in London for a two-day meeting on world economic recovery, banking reform and monetary policy, but no communique is expected after the meeting.
British Finance Minister George Osborne, who chairs the meeting, suggested three priorities for discussions of finance ministers and central bank governors of the G7, namely Canada, Germany, the United States, France, Japan, Britain and Italy.
Osborne listed the tree priorities as monetary activism, fiscal responsibility, and structural reform.
"The meeting takes place at a time of greater economic stability, thanks to policy action taken. Markets have calmed, and there are signs that this is feeding through into greater confidence," he said in a statement on the government website.
"There is no doubt that there is greater stability, and that is reflected in financial markets, than perhaps there was last year."
But he said, "Global recovery cannot be taken for granted and needs to be nurtured."
He disclosed the meeting will be in "informal discussions, with less focus on lengthy pre-prepared communiques and read out statements."
He agreed that the G20, which includes both the advanced and emerging economies, is rightly the primary economic forum for setting the global rules of the game.
However, the G7 still represents around half of the world's economy and constitutes major economic firepower.
In recent years, the G7 countries tend to get together on the sidelines of the G20 and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings.
Speaking of the increasing use of monetary activism to nurture a global recovery, Osborne said, "Recovery from the financial crisis has required central banks to develop more powerful tools to support demand."
"The G7 is an opportunity to consider what more monetary activism can do to support the recovery, while ensuring medium-term inflation expectations remain anchored," he said.
Up to now, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan have all undertaken Quantitative Easing (QE), and the Bank of Japan recently announced it would double its QE program.
Osborne said restoring the public finances and monetary policy are important responses to the economic environment. "But fundamentally, we need structural reform if we are to improve living standards in the long term," he added.
"We should use the G7 to strengthen the political will to undertake necessary reforms."
It is reported that free trade, tax system and transparency will be also discussed at the meeting, which is reportedly held in Buckinghamshire on May 10-11.
