As air travel has become more commonplace, airlines are no longer struggling to fill seats on their airplanes, and cheaper fares are harder to come by. Because airlines changes their prices so regularly, the cost of tickets on the same flight can be dramatically different. Everyone has their own ideas about when and how to shop for the cheapest airfares. Some people swear that fares are cheapest on Tuesdays, while others suggest searching nearby airports for better deals. In the end, patience and persistence may be the best tools you can use to find a good deal on airfare.
Compare prices on discount travel sites and on airline sites three to four months before your trip. Keep in mind that some airlines don't do business with the discount sites, and you can often find the best deal on the airline's site. You can also set up fare alerts that will email you when fares are offered within your price range.
Compare prices for the destinations that you are considering. If you are flexible in terms of your destination, you may be able to find a very affordable fare.
Be flexible on your dates for even greater savings. Most sites allow you to look at fares for an entire month to see which dates have the cheapest airfares. Changing the length of your trip by a day or two may be the key to saving money on your flights.
Purchase non-refundable tickets, as they are usually the cheapest. Only buy refundable tickets if you think that your vacation may be canceled.
Check for package deals for even greater savings on airline tickets, hotels and car rentals. Package deals may help you to get lower rates for airfare, transportation, lodging, and activities at your destination.

Purity RingDJ / Producer
After sixty-five fortnights, Purity Ring have returned with their super-tight second album Another Eternity. The pair ventured home to the frozen industrial landscapes of their birthplace Edmonton, Alberta to document much of what was to become the album. For the first time, vocalist Megan James and producer Corin Roddick were able to create a record in the same room.
Purity Ring's first album Shrines was recorded separately in Montreal and Halifax, where Corin and Megan were respectively living at the time. Despite being a thousand kilometers apart and barely talking, Shrines was a cohesive, beguiling and wholly unique universe of what the band called 'Future Pop'. At the center of the amniotic swirl of Shrines was an undeniable nucleus of crystalline pop which presciently suggested both indie and popular music to come. Critics were psyched: 'Best New Music' from Pitchfork and praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and NPR, among others. They quickly amassed a rabid fanbase, toured relentlessly and sold out shows worldwide.
On Another Eternity, Purity Ring trade the gorgeously claustrophobic atmospheres of Shrines for wide-open, muscular vistas of sound and luminous, up-front vocals. Crafting a lyrical universe of "sweat and dreams" populated by seacastles, rattling spines, and weeping drawers, Megan James wields concrete imagery and metaphor with increasingly direct, startling resonance. Corin Roddick's gifts for evocative melody remain intact, but his drum work and use of space have been completely reforged: immaculately built and focused in service of the song.
"begin again" rouses Purity Ring's brooding balladry into a sky-reaching anthem while retaining its distinctive shape. "bodyache" is the kind of devastatingly infectious single that their previous work only gestured at. "stillness in woe" features a frozen, manipulated piano, dovetailing with Megan's time suspending narrative. "repetition" finds surreal, love-lorn lyricism soaring over delicately woven synths. The emotional geography of Another Eternity is wider than ever: gloomy valleys and gleaming peaks in even measure.
Though they are now working at a higher resolution, Purity Ring remain hands-on with every aspect of their project. As usual, the band produced and recorded Another Eternity entirely themselves. The pair worked to develop an innovative new live performance, and Megan designed the band's onstage and video fashion.
Another Eternity revels in its upfront melody, clarity, and confidence. With every step forward they take, Purity Ring actualize their vision while sounding utterly and undeniably like themselves.
Hundred WatersDJ / Producer
With music that's part acoustic, part electronic and completely captivating, musicians Nicole Miglis, Trayer Tryon & Zach Tetreault make up Hundred Waters. The trio met in middle school in Florida and formed the band in their adult years. The fusion of their talents quickly gave rise to a sound that has fans raving and critics drawing comparisons to Stereolab, Bjork and Four Tet. It attracted the most unlikely of label bosses, Skrillex, who signed the band to his OWSLA label. Since then the band has taken its' live show around the world, touring with artists such as Alt-J, the XX, Jack Ü, Grimes, Julia Holter & more. The band is also responsible for co-founding and curating the application based micro festival, FORM Arcosanti.

Florida Mom, Dad and Son Busted for Growing Shrooms Together
The family that grows drugs together takes mugs together.
Over in Charlotte County, Sheriff's deputies have arrested a mother, father and son after they discovered that the family was growing psychedelic mushrooms.
According to a Charlotte County Sheriff's Department release, deputies arrived trying to locate the one family members who apparently wasn't home: a second brother who had a felony warrant out. 20-year-old Joshua Lee Mudge answered the door and told police that his brother no longer lived at the address.
That might have been it, but then Mudge gave deputies permission to come in and look around. That's not a good idea, when, well, you know, your entire family is growing mushrooms together.

Deputies noted that the house reeked of marijuana smoke and spotted "several funnels, buckets, empty glass jars, a propane torch and sandwich bags." Mudge tried to explain that they were for a school project and asked the deputies to leave. Deputies complied but quickly obtained a search warrant.
They removed Mudge from the home but he allegedly became combative and struck one of the deputies with a closed fist. Mudge got tasered, but still tried to kick and punch deputies as they put him in handcuffs.
Inside, police "located six plastic bags of Psilocybin mushrooms (51 grams), a plastic container with 1.5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, six syringes labeled various types of Psilocybin strains, a sealed incubation Hallucinogenic Mushroom (Psilocybin) operation containing four large mushrooms growing in a black container, several starter containers of strains of Psilocybin mushrooms along with growing material for the mushrooms, several dried Psilocybin mushrooms, a container with assorted growing material for mushrooms, a coffee can with 120 grams of marijuana and six smoking pipes with marijuana residue."
They also found Ma and Pa Mudge: William Lorne Mudge, 55, Betty Lou Mudge, 50.
The Mudge clan were all arrested and charged with the manufacturer of psychedelic mushrooms, and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Currently my son's father and I have no custody orders or been to court for anything. We lived together as a family for 4.5 years, our son is now 6. I left approx. 2 years ago and lived alone with son in new place for about a year going to school. Now living with parents till completion. I would like to move with my son. I have always been the primary caregiver even while in the relationship and especially more so now after I left. Ex never paid much for financial care of son, I left, handled it between 2 of us. Transferring soon need to know can I move out of state ? How far can I move in current state ? Can I move now with no orders in effect of any kind ? Will that hurt or help case ? I want kid in better overall environment cross the board, its not California anymore. What do I do ?What is the best possible way to go about this ? I am reasonable, logical person and do not want to create a huge nasty mess with any of this. I have tried my best to handle the separation like adults with the kiddos best interest in mind. But I do think a move down the line in near future is his best interest for many reasons. Don't care about support, will pay travel costs. If I were to plan this for the best possible outcome what steps should I take now ? I do not want to "skip" town. I want to do this right. Briefly just read art. here that says when order is effect I have to ask permission to change sons school district ? I live in Moreno Valley, CA I absolutely am not living the next 12 years in this area ? If I cannot leave state which I could understand, can I at least move to central or northern California without being a major pain in the ass if his dad says no ? What's the price tag for attorney's start to finish for primary/legal cases in my area ?
With no orders, you can move -- subject to him coming after the kids and asking the California court to order return the children.
In no way am I offering you legal advice, and in no way has my comment created an attorney-client relationship. You are not to rely upon my note above in any way, but insted need to sit down with counsel and share all relevant facts before receiving fully-informed legal advice. If you want to be completely sure of your rights, you must sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney to be fully aware of your rights.Ask a similar question
If you file legal paperwork in California, that creates automatic temporary restraining orders (ATROS) preventing any move of the child until a judge gives permission. Since you state no legal paperwork has been filed with the court, it sounds like there are no court orders preventing you from moving, especially with the fact pattern that you listed. If you move, and he files legal paperwork in California, you may have to litigate the issue in California and deal with custody and visitation issues in California. You should consult with a family law attorney before making any move for a complete analysis of your situation.
This communication does not create an attorney-client relationship. This means that I am not your lawyer and I will not appear in court simply by posting on this site. If you would like me to represent you, you must call my office, sign a written fee agreement and pay a legal fee, assuming I do not have a conflict of interest and you are in Southern California. If I respond to your question and you have follow up questions by posting on this site, I may or may not reply. This information should not be construed as legal advice. I am offering my opinion. Each person's case is unique, and that's why you should contact a lawyer over the phone for a consultation for your situation. That's why you should not rely on any response that an attorney posts on this site. I am licensed in California. I am not licensed in another state or country. I do not practice law outside of California.Ask a similar question
You can with no court orders. I would not advise it though. The father will file for a divorce and parenting time with the CA courts as soon as you do and CA will have jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act.
The information provided in this answer does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not considered to be legal advice. Mr. Leroi answers questions on Avvo because he strongly believes in public service from his years as a judge, magistrate, and prosecutor. If you need to ask any follow up questions because my answer did not fully address your question, feel free to call Chris or post an additional question. Thank you.Ask a similar question
it is not clear from the facts whether you and your ex were married, and if so, if any paperwork was filed with any court. In other words, if you did file for divorce in any court, then that court will retain jurisdiction over your child until he turns 18 (or when he graduates high school). If this is the case, then you must discuss this move with your ex, and if he agrees, you can file a stipulation or agreement of some kind with the court. If he disagrees, you can file an RFO requesting a "move away" order. If, however, there is no court involvement and has not been any court involvement, then you should at the very least discuss your intentions with your ex, and then the proverbial ball will be in his court as to what he would do next. If you have an amicable relationship and present the issue as being in the best interests of your child (which is the ONLY issue the court would consider), you should be able to move with your son subject to whatever conditions/agreements you make with your ex. Consulting a family law attorney is a good idea just to give you peace of mind. Most attorneys charge hourly, but most give free initial consultations, and some will even do "limited scope" retainers to only deal with one issue of your case. Hope this helps. Good luck.Ask a similar question
As a general observation, you should consult with an attorney regarding the facts of your case.

|[drlvm][smoke_test] running kernel classes tests on DRLVM compiled with Intel Compiler (linux/ia32)
|Tue, 24 Oct 2006 09:07:32 GMT
Hi everybody. I've found out that the kernel classes smoke tests (for DRLVM built by Intel Compiler on Linux/ia32) are failed because of wrong enironment set in "-run-kernel-test" target. The output message is "..build/lnx_ia32_icc_debug/deploy/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libimf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". The reason is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set for this target in build scripts, but libimf.so is needed for the classes loading. As I understand LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not needed for classes loading for DRLVM compiled by gcc, so everything is ok for gcc builds. This variable was set for this target earlier, the string with LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting is commented in make/targets/kernel.test.xml. Does anybody knows why it was commented? I've sent the patch which just comments the strings out (HARMONY-1946) - <!--env key="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" value="${build.deploy.dir}/bin:${env.LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" /--> + <env key="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" value="${build.deploy.dir}/bin:${env.LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" /> Could anybody commit this? Thanks. -- Nataly Naumova, Intel Middleware Products Division

Fitzgerald knew little about profiling or linguistics when he joined the FBI in 1987. But, while assigned to the field office in New York City, he worked cases involving stalking or threatening letters sent to Jane Pauley, Bryant Gumbel, Don Imus, Donald Trump, and Rush Limbaugh, among others.
In 1995, Fitzgerald became a profiler at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Va. As part of Fitzgerald's profiler training, he learned about analyzing communications. He later obtained a Master's degree in linguistics from Georgetown University. (This was his second MS. His first was in Organizational Psychology at Villanova University.) As he has at his present company, The Academy Group, Fitzgerald created a linguistic-oriented database of threatening and/or suspicious letters, similar to one the Secret Service maintains.
Fitzgerald was on vacation when he was assigned to the Unabomb investigation in San Francisco. The assignment was to last 30 days. A year and a half later, he was still working the case. Eventually Fitzgerald and others persuaded the FBI Director and the Attorney General to push the New York Times and, eventually, the Washington Post to publish the document to see whether anyone recognized the author's writing style. They got a phone call in February 1996 with a new name to add to their 2,500-long suspect list, Ted Kaczynski. The only FBI profiler who is now also a court-certified forensic linguist, Fitzgerald analyzed other writings of Kaczynski and concluded that the Unabomber probably wrote them. His findings helped narrow the investigation to Kaczynski. His 50-page probable cause affidavit, the first of its kind in federal court using text analysis, was the primary factor behind the judge signing the search warrant for Kaczynski's cabin. The rest is history.
Fitzgerald worked other high-profile cases like those of Danny Pearl, Jon Benet Ramsey, and the D.C. sniper. In that October 2002 case, using forensic linguistics along with his profiling skills, he was the first to suggest to the task force working the 10 murders that at least one suspect was an African-American. As it turned out, both convicted killers are African-American.
FBI profiler James R. Fitzgerald told the bureau in 2003 that it probably had pinpointed the wrong the man as the culprit for the anthrax mailings that killed five people, but those in charge of the investigation ignored him. Fitzgerald, analyzing the communications, offered a profile that generally excluded the initial suspect but fit the man the FBI ultimately decided was responsible for the mailings in 2001.
James R. Fitzgerald was the first person ever to provide expert testimony in US federal court in textual analysis. That was U.S. v VanWyck, 2000.
Fitzgerald now works for the Academy Group in Manassas, Va., which provides profiling services for private industry as well as a university instructor, author, and technical advisor for television programs (Criminal Minds) involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Cables FAQ
How Important are Cables in a System?
Audio cables are often referred to as accessories. However, an audio system cannot make sound without cables installed which implies that they are essential components. And much like the other components in the system, cables must be chosen with the same research that one would perform in choosing an amplifier, a speaker or a turntable. Characteristics such as coloration, distortion and other anomalies must be minimized in order for the system to perform at its optimum. Too often, audiophiles and music lovers treat these essential components as after thoughts and end up compromising the performance of their carefully chosen audio gear.
How do I know if Audience cables will work well in my system?
Audience audio cables are widely known and awarded for being natural and non-colored, maintaining a high degree of faithfulness to true musical characteristics in every way. Because of this natural musical window afforded by Audience cables, they are the most widely applicable cables. Quoting from reviewer Doug Blackburn, in his 2003 review in SoundStage.com "The Audience Au24 interconnects and speaker cables are commendably neutral and natural, and they help you forget about chasing the pot o' gold at the end of the audiophile rainbow".
What are "e" enhanced and "SE" cables?Proprietary technologies to improve performance of Audience cables has been developed over the years. The "e" enhanced upgrade was introduced in November of 2007 and "SE" special edition as of January of 2013. Generally speaking, these upgrade technologies simply remove veils, thus allowing you to be ever closer to the musical truth. The opportunity to upgrade existing Audience cables is described under the Product Upgrades section.
Why are Audience cables so thin?
Simply put, audio signal is most accurately delivered by conductors of lower mass. Unfortunately, many water hose size cables are marketed today under the "bigger is better" banner and nothing could be further from the truth. To illustrate the detrimental effects of heavy gauge audio cables, Audience has made a short video demonstration of the very pertinent science of an invisible, yet very powerful force, known as eddy current resistance. The written explanation, with references, is also on this web site at http://www.audience-av.com/eddy_current.html.
Is it better to use single wire or bi-wire speaker cables?
This is a very controversial question. Generally speaking, Audience asserts that simpler is almost always better. In the case of single vs. bi-wire speaker cables, we believe that one signal path from the amplifier to speakers is better than two. In many cases we have provided customers with both single speaker wires and bi-wire to make their own comparisons. Almost invariably, those customers found that the single wire approach, in conjunction with equal quality jumpers, was best. Some reoccurring exceptions were specifically from users of Vanderstein and Von Schweikert loudspeakers.
For bi-wired speakers what is the best approach to using jumpers?
On bi-wired loudspeakers, it is important to use a jumper of equal quality as the primary speaker cables, because the characteristic sound of jumpers tends to be imparted back into the full sound spectrum.
Is stranded or solid core wire best for audio cables?
Stranded wire is flexible whereas solid core is not and will tear when flexed. Some people make the point that these tears heal; however, where healing takes place there are still new crystal boundaries formed as scaring build up.
Small diameter strands do not have the same frequency limitation as larger solid core due to skin effect, which reduces the effective diameter and increases the effective resistance of the wire at high frequency. Therefore, typically, small stranded wire has better sonic attributes at the higher frequencies.
Thin wire has lower eddy current resistance, therefore it is more coherent compared to thicker wire, much like the effect of inductance. Think of a magnetic field being introduced into a flat conductive surface. When the magnetic field is in motion, like an audio signal moving through conductive wire, it produces an electrical current in the conductive surface, which in turn produces a counter magnetic field that impedes the motion of the originating magnetic field. If the surface is broken up in smaller pieces, the magnetic field has only a small conductive path and therefore the eddy current resistance is greatly reduced. Skin effect/eddy currents are going to occur either way; however, at smaller diameters they occur at higher frequencies therefore have less affect in the audible band.
Audience Cables
Audience offers cables at two price points: Au24 & Conductor:
We believe the Au24 cables attain the elusive goal of combining exquisite sonic detail with the beauty of true musicality. This is due in large part to the Au24's incredible time domain performance. One look will tell you these are not "me too" products. The materials, design and construction techniques utilized in the Au24 cable line reflect the latest thinking in state of the art, high-resolution technology.
Cables are made in whole, half and quarter meter lengths and custom lengths.
As of November, '07 Audience has developed proprietary technology to improve the conductivity of Audience Au24 cables, Conductor cables and powerChords that results in a more refined product. The basic musical character of the cables is unchanged; however they are enhanced. This technology results in the removal of a veil resulting in the improvement of a world class product. In addition to the standard Au24 and powerChord cables, this new technology is available as an "e" enhanced version. For more information on the enhanced cable upgrades, please refer to the FAQ in the cables page lower menu. Audience offers E upgrades to standard Au24 ($195/RCA, $225/XLR, $300 loudspeaker, $450 loudspeaker bi-wire), and powerChord ($165) cables as a direct service or through authorized Audience dealers. Please inquire at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800-565-4390.

Conductor cables are a high performance to price ratio, entry level cable by Audience. Like all cables by Audience the Conductor line is designed for low eddy-current resistance. We have found low eddy-current resistance to be the most important quality in high-resolution audio and video cables. The Conductor cables are very flexible making them easy to install in tight spaces.
Cables are made in whole, half and quarter meter lengths and custom lengths.

"With less volume booming out over everything, the room and the stage had more delicate sound, tonally better sound, and a more engagingly relaxed sound than ever before. Better yet, the other musicians found themselves able to play at lower levels since the guitarist HEARD HIMSELF more truly and, therefore, played more quietly! His restraint influenced his band mates. The sum total of the change from substituting one cable for a much better one was immense".
Jim Merod -- On Sound and Music -- Aug 03

"As a perennial "gearhead" who is dedicated to improving the quality of my signal chain wherever possible, I am always open to solutions on any level. Changing to the Conductor instrument cables in both live and studio applications instantly resulted in a dramatic difference, which was pleasantly surprising as the cables they replaced are considered to be among the best on the market.
The best way to describe it subjectively is that it was as if a veil had been lifted that was obscuring the true sound of the instrument or signal source. After allowing for a brief breaking-in period, I was curious to A/B the Conductors against some other cables I had on hand. Those tests demonstrated to me that the Conductor produced a signal with deeper bottom end, more highs, less "compression" and greater output than the cables they were up against. I have heard other high-end instrument cables that were impressive in various ways, but none that were as "musical" overall as the Conductors".

Audience Audio Cables
Audio cables are often referred to as accessories. However, an audio system cannot make sound without cables installed which implies that they are essential components. And much like the other components in the system, cables must be chosen with the same research that one would perform in choosing an amplifier, a speaker or a turntable.

Too often, audiophiles and music lovers treat these essential components as after thoughts and end up compromising the performance of their carefully chosen audio gear.
The idea of cables as components is a controversial subject. There are many who think that "wire is wire" and don't accept that cables can either optimize or compromise the performance of an audio system. Traditional tests for difference in cable reveal very little if any electrical differences between brands. However, the human ear/brain is a far more sensitive and discriminating test apparatus and deciphers differences in cable brands rather easily. This ability can be developed much like wine tasting. As you become more experienced, differences, shadings and nuance become more readily noticeable.
Audience Conductor and Au24 cable products are the end result of years of research into what matters most in an audio system...true fidelity to the signal without artificial embellishments or unwarranted voicing. Audience cables are not off the shelf items that have been adapted for use in an audio system, they are products that have been designed to actually preserve the audio signal in the least damaging fashion possible. "Neutral" or "natural" are the terms we hear most often when end users describe their performance.
Finally, Audience cables do not sport the most impressive looking connectors or overly large outer jacketing. More often than not, the connectors that look best sound bad and can actually degrade performance. Fanciful jacketing is an added cost passed on to the end user and often obscures what lies inside. While simple yet elegant in appearance, Audience cables are designed to reach the highest level of performance.
Please contact Audience for additional information.
"After spending a good deal of time with the Audience AU24SX interconnects and speaker wire and given their excellent sonic performance, I can recommend them very highly. While they are not rock bottom price wise, in in the world of high-end cables, they are relatively inexpensive. For all of these reasons, I can easily nominate them for an Audiophilia Star Component Award."

Audience Au24 SE
Audience has long insisted that mammoth wires are not only superfluous but can be a hindrance to good sound. Its slender Au24 SE cables and interconnects make a strong case that size does not always matter. While they do not appear to deliver as full a sound as some of their competitors, the Audience Au24 SE assemblage offers some of everything- a wide and deep soundstage, a goodly amount of detail, and superb transparency. When their relatively modest price is factored in, the Audience line only becomes even more impressive for its ability to compete with much pricier top-end cables.

"Audience's Au24 SE powerChords, interconnects, and speaker cables are the most satisfying wiring products Iâve used in the last 39 years.

"Audience has clearly broken the price/performance barrier with their newest Au24 SE phono cables. No matter which cartridge is mounted in the 3D armâthe Lyra, Transfiguration or Koetsuâthe Audience brings out the best attributes of each. The dynamics, solidity and resolution of the Atlas: the imaging, preciseness and low level resolution of the Transfiguration; and the realism and sense of space of the Koetsu. Without doubt, these phono cables are clearly at home in any analog system and really bring the music to life."

Audience Au24 SE USB
This new USB cable is simply sensational in every way. The Au24 SE USB's clarity, dimensionality, and gorgeous timbre put it in a class by itself. It seems to have no signature of its own, but rather more transparently conveys what's coming from your computer. The dual-cable design separates the signal-carrying and power-carrying conductors.

"The sound is fast, airy, and punchy. I liked the way it opens up the soundstage, particularly on classical music, where it allows you to hear row after row of an orchestra. Overall, the soundstage seems to be deeper than it is wide. Tonality is beyond reproach. It captures the bore of an instrument with great fidelity. What about bass? Can a diminutive cable create a big sound? Judging by the impact of the Au24, the answer is emphatically yes."

Audience has kindly sent me various products to audition. Their Au24 "e" audio interconnects are VERY neutral. Pleasing sound that tells the HONEST TRUTH about what your components really sound like while still being tuneful and musical. The "e" powerChord adds dynamics and the Adept Response Teflon power conditioner is great at cancelling noise while bringing out authoritative dynamics hidden in your playback system. The power conditioner is really amazing. If I wasn't already married, I'd marry it. Add the Au24 "e" speaker cable and you have a true neutral, musical presentation!

Audience Au24 "e" Loudspeaker Cables
"We usually associate an increase in detail or resolution with some unwanted side effect, such as dryness, thinness, brightness, or some other negative "-ness" that is a definite compromise. Get more of "this", but less of "that". With the new "e" cable, there is more of the "this", but no less of the "that". There is an increase of smoothness, detail and resolution all across the frequency range without any sense, even a subtle one, that any compromise has been made. But make no mistake, for a small increase in cost the higher level of musical enjoyment is substantial."

"Overall the character of the cables is unchanged. Catchwords remain; musical, melodious, liquid, quiet without being dull or lifeless, airy and detailed without dissecting to the bone. Conclusion: If there is one part of the audio industry where superlatives like thicker, bigger, more expensive and heavier are at a premium, it's in the cable world. John McDonald and his team break through this trend with the Audience powerChords and the Au24 interconnects & speaker cables and do this in an impressive way that is very attractive for the true music lover. Visually 'minimalistic'and elegant. But what is much more important; in an auditive sense, beautifully balanced, liquid and above all musical."

"Since they do not call attention to themselves, trying to describe the sound of the Audience cables is difficult. They simply do a very good job of conveying the music. There are many products on the market today that claim to do this but fail to deliver. Audience products perform as advertised. If your goal is to achieve a sonic signature that is balanced from top to bottom with that elusive truth-of-timbre, then the Audience line belongs on your short list".

"Inserting the Audience Au24 S/PDIF digital cable between my transport and upsampler, it is as if I have found the musical mother lode.

I have never noted a greater step toward musicality with any other digital cable at any price."

"I have used Audience au24 cables as my reference cables for over three years. They are so good I just haven't thought about them."
Jack Roberts - Apr '07 Read Full Review
"I have used many brands of cable over the past three decades, including, but not limited to; Monster (the entire gamut of their products), Fulton, Polk, Cardas, JPS, D.H. Labs, Kimber, MIT, Audio Quest, Straight Wire, Herron Audio, Transparent, Gortz Alpha-Core, Silver Audio, Silver Circle Audio, Analysis Plus, Harmonic Technology, and now, the Audience Au24's. While I am able to note the differences every cable makes when inserted into my system, the Au24 marks the most fundamentally musical shift in performance I have yet to experience. In addition, that transformation has been universal in my experiments across equipment with price tags ranging from $200 to $8000. Don't let these skinny little blue cables escape your attention. These are world-class cables that, given the price tags of some of their portentous peers, represent an excellent value as well."
Greg Weaver - Writers' Choice Awards - Dec '04 Print Version
"Backgrounds are quieter, especially on older analog recordings. Micro dynamic events are rendered with superior detail and in more realistic scale, and thereby take on a greater musical significance, most likely attributable to the enhanced sense of the "darker" background. There is a general sense of ease and organic-ness to the overall presentation; it is akin to the sound of good analog in that respect. Whether that is due to an overall coherence the cable offers, or perhaps a very good impedance match, I can't say. But, it offers a more nuanced presentation, much closer to live music than I have had with ANY other cable I've auditioned; and believe me, I've played with more than a few."

"I find that the system as a whole with Au24 interconnects and speaker cable running from one end to the other now sounds more natural than it did with Valhalla. I am significantly less aware of "The System" and its sonic virtues, and more aware of musicians and music".

"Its sound is fast, open and transparent. The Au24 S/PDIF cable proved to be something of a sonic enigma -- its signature was only identifiable in relation to the other cables. On its own, it offers a large portion of every positive attribute and no discernible sins. Most notably, compared to the I2Digital cable, the Au24 portrays density along with the speed and openness. Images are full and weighty; in video terms, I would say that the picture is more color-saturated. All of the detail is there, but the perspective is different -- the music is portrayed in a more tangible way."
Marc Mickelson - Dec '04 Read Full Review

"The Audience Au24 interconnects and speaker cables are commendably neutral and natural, and they help you forget about chasing the pot o' gold at the end of the audiophile rainbow. These are attributes that the best cable should embody. I expected a cable so tiny to limit dynamics, but nothing like this happened – even with amplifiers up to 250wpc. Also, spouses and decorators are going to find a small-diameter cable like this a lot more domestically acceptable than a music hose or other visually distracting cables."
Doug Blackburn - Mar '03 Print Version

Like the Chinese astrological Ox, these cables speak little but they do so eloquently while inspiring confidence.

"The cables you choose should leave you with no doubt that better performance can be had only at a far greater cost that would be out of proportion with the cost of the rest of your system.

While using the Audiences, I never once longed for more. The Conductor is the affordable cable I'll be recommending to friends and family."

Aquaman is a television pilot developed by the creators of Smallville, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The show takes place in the fictional community of Tempest Key which is about 25 miles away from Mercy Reef, and focuses on the adventures of Arthur Curry, who will eventually become the superhero Aquaman.
The concept of Aquaman stemmed from a fifth season episode of Smallville, Aqua. The episode featured Arthur Curry (Alan Ritchson) coming to Smallville to stop an underwater weapons project being developed by LuthorCorp. Aqua became the highest rated episode for Smallville that season, but it was never meant to be a backdoor pilot for an Aquaman series. However, as work progressed on Aqua, the character was recognized to have potential for his own series.
Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the creators of Smallville, also considered a series featuring Lois Lane, but felt stronger about Aquaman. Millar said,"Aquaman was the first idea where we really thought we had a franchise where we could see 100 episodes."
Cast and characters
Casting calls went out in November 2005 for the series regulars, even though at the time, Gough and Millar were unsure which of the characters would appear regularly on the show. The role of Arthur Curry was originally given to Will Toale, after Gough and Millar saw over 400 candidates from England, Australia, Canada and the United States. Before filming began, Toale was replaced with Justin Hartley. A CW spokesman said, "We have made the decision to go in a different direction with the Aquaman role and wish Toale the best of luck in all of his endeavors." Graham Bentz was cast as a young Arthur Curry.
Adrianne Palicki was cast as a Siren named Nadia. Lou Diamond Phillips and Ving Rhames were cast as Tom Curry and McCaffery, respectively. Amber McDonald, Denise Quiñones and Rick Peters and filled in the rest of the regular cast members. Daniella Wolters was cast as Atlanna, appearing in a flashback sequence.
Four of the cast members guest starred on Smallville prior to the Aquaman pilot. Denise Quiñones played Andrea Rojas in the Season Five's "Vengeance", while Adrianne Palicki appeared in the Season Three's Covenant. Rick Peters was cast as Bob Rickman in the Season One's "Hug". Kenny Johnson, who briefly appears as the Sheriff in the pilot's opening, guest starred in the Season Five's Mortal.
When the series was not picked up by the CW, Gough and Millar decided to cast Hartley as Oliver Queen, a recurring character for Smallville's sixth season, appearing in seven episodes. Amber McDonald was cast as Gloria, a Phantom Zone escapee, in Season Six's Wither. Alan Ritchson reprised his role from "Aqua", as Arthur Curry, for Season Six's Justice.
Pilot summary
A.C. and his mother Atlanna are flying over the Bermuda Triangle. As they get closer, Atlanna's necklace begins to glow and a surge of light and energy erupts from the ocean, causing cyclones which bring their plane down. Atlanna is kidnapped by a siren, but not before giving A.C. her necklace and calling him Orin. Ten years later, A.C. is charged for releasing dolphins from a marine park. His father bails him out of trouble, but gives him a stern lecture on responsibility.
Later, A.C. tells his friend Eva that he felt like the dolphins were calling to him. While he's working, he is approached by a lighthouse keeper who identifies himself as McCaffery. The Coast Guard picks up an unidentified man, floating in the Bermuda Triangle and pleading to warn Orin. Lt. Torres is sent to investigate the area. A.C. is also at the Triangle, and his necklace triggers another surge of light, which causes Torres to crash her jet. Brigman transports the John Doe to another facility, and persuades Torres to join his team. Brigman is looking for a connection between the disappearances of thousands of individuals, and their reappearance years later without ever aging a day.
That evening, A.C. meets Nadia and she convinces him to go swimming. In the water, Nadia reveals herself to not only be a Siren, but the one that took his mother. A.C. barely escapes with a little help from McCaffery. McCaffery explains that he, Arthur and Arthur's mother were all exiles from Atlantis, and that A.C. is the prince of Atlantis. Arthur convinces Eva to leave Tempest Key for a few days, but it comes too late as Nadia injures Eva and captures Arthur. When he wakes up, A.C. finds that Nadia has also captured McCaffery and she is bringing them both back to Atlantis to be executed.
Breaking free using a flask of water to enhance his strength, A.C. destroys Nadia by putting a spear through her head. The next morning, McCaffery explains that there will be more creatures that will come looking for A.C. and that he should have started his training years prior. A.C. agrees to start his training, and McCaffery leaves him with Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2 to read. McCaffery informs Arthur, who is not too keen on having to read the books, "It isn't about the ending, it's about the journey."
There was initial speculation that the show's title would not be Aquaman. Tempest Keys and Mercy Reef were rumored to be the working titles for the series. The show would eventually be listed as Aquaman, when it was later released on iTunes. Greg Beeman, who has produced and directed episodes of Smallville, was hired to direct the pilot.
Crossover with Smallville
Gough and Millar did not consider it a spin-off from Smallville. Gough said in November 2005, "The series is going to be a different version of the Aquaman legend." Gough did express the idea of a crossover with Smallville at some point.
- The pilot was green-lighted after the popularity and high ratings of the Smallville episode Aqua, which introduced a young AC Curry. It was supposed to debut in fall of 2006 but was not picked up by The CW. The pilot was released on iTunes in late July and became a very popular download, increasing its chances of possibly being picked upfor the midseason schedule. When the show was not picked up, Justin Hartley, who was to portray Arthur, was offered the role of Oliver Queen on Smallville instead.
- Ideas for future episodes focused on environmental threats, such as "ocean polluters" and "evil oil companies." The first 13 episodes already planned out, with a possible story arc involving McCaffery being captured and taken back to Atlantis. Stories regarding mythology were set to play a small role in later episodes. Gough and Millar chose to go with a more classic version, from the comics, of Aquaman's mythology. Gough stated, "Unlike Superman, there really isn't a set core mythology for Arthur Curry. There are a couple different versions of it. We went with the most classic one." [citation needed]

Increased licensing costs. Security. Breaches. Hackers. Budget cuts. Downsizing.
These are amongst some of the most worrying words that enterprises and managers can hear. And, yet, they are a part of day to day terminology- whether whispered behind soundproof board room doors, discussed openly by upper management or colleagues addressing them casually over the water cooler. Whether we like it or not, these issues are front and center, day in, day out.
In these difficult economic times, corporations have downsized staff; eliminated raises and bonuses for existing employees and have halted purchasing of equipment. As the hunt to find areas where corporate spending can still be cut, departments are fighting to reallocate costs to other departmental budgets or geographic locations.
But there are always options, aren't there? There is always one area everyone knows is costly but everyone skims over it. Business Applications like SAP and Oracle. Companies cannot run globally without them, but they are expensive and complex systems.
So why do enterprises quickly skim over and across this area? Because Business Applications are complicated to understand and to control. Most attempts at analyzing are costly, extremely time consuming and demand a lot of man power-and enterprises with less staff and less resources are scrambling and remain in the Catch 22 of it. Need to cut costs; to cut costs, need to expend a lot of resources to analyze; can't use so many resources right now but need to cut costs….and so on and so on. A lot of confusion, pressure and frustration.
So, as a CIO, CISO, Authorization Manager, Security Manager or other top tier titan, what can YOU do to gain control, increase security, optimize licenses and decrease TCO, ASAP?
Gartner recently suggested, that when dealing with, for instance, SAP systems "Understand SAP's business-oriented way to define usage and select the minimum usage for the majority of users."
Most organizations have far too many users with too many authorized roles. How, as Gartner suggests, can a manager know how to select the minimum usage for the majority of users; How can the users themselves become more responsible and careful?
What strategy can management formulate in their enterprises in order to decrease costs without additional downsizing?, How can they optimize the resources on hand and reduce extraneous resources?
By taking back control over budgetary expenditures; By expanding their views over their business applications and reassessing actual usage; By taking stock of licensing types being paid for and determining how many are dormant, how many are unused and can easily be reallocated to other users in lieu of additional purchases; and how many licenses can be downgraded from the costliest Professional license and downgraded to Limited Professional or Employee licenses instead; By decreasing roles authorized to decrease risks. So much can be done, but there is so little time to get it done in.

Meet Iris Lee, a young (and successful) business owner who manages two brick and mortar shops: Float Pasadena and Tiny Universe.
Talk to us about your store front endeavors. What made you decide to take over Float Pasadena and then create the Tiny Universe shop?
I honestly wasn't quite seeking to be a small business owner at the time but Float in some ways found me. The opportunity to open a shop presented itself to me two years ago and I wasn't sure whether to say yes. But the moment I saw the potential with the space, I knew this was what I wanted to do. After two years of being open with Float, the space next door presented itself and I wanted to build something that would compliment the space. I always had a heart for interesting small retail spaces and noticed a lack of small independent boutiques in Pasadena. It seemed like an interesting new adventure and a challenge I wanted to try.
Do you come from a line of business owners too? Were your family members encouraging of your takeover?
I do! My parents run an independent community pharmacy in Los Angeles. My parents were my biggest supporters and guidance for doing this business.
How is business how and how do you think you'll continue to grow both shops?
Business is great! I am taking each day as it comes to me and at the same time always seeing what opportunities are out there. I hope to integrate more programs and have some things lined up for this following year that we're really excited about.
What is your favorite part about running these shops?
The people. The guys I work with and everyone that walks through the door makes this the best experience.
Both shops are well-liked! How has the response been in general?
It's always been fun hearing how people respond to the shops. We always get great feedback but it's especially exciting when people find us even after two years of business. Makes us feel like we just opened again!
Is it tough to juggle both shops while maintaining your personal life?
Absolutely. Some days I feel like I've taken on too much but I have an incredible support system outside of both shops. I really couldn't be where I am without the support of my boyfriend, friends, and family. And over the course of my two years of running my own business I really learned that I need to take care of myself in the midst of the craziness. It's all about balance. (It's the Libra in me)
Where do you see business and life taking off in the next few years?
I just hope we can continue to serve our community and be a destination for folks visiting Pasadena. And I'm not certain what is next for us, but I'm always excited for whatever is for us here at Float and Tiny.

Usher warns 'do not date fans'Posted on: November 22, 2010 11:48:06
Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber has been warned against dating his fans by pop mentor Usher.
The singer, who has been a popular addition to the music industry since gaining recognition for his first hit single You Make Me Wanna in 1997, offered some advice to the young star.
"You've got to love all your fans without falling in love with them. I can't say I've never dated a fan but it's not a good idea," he warned.
At just 16, Bieber has already had a number of successful songs including Eenie Meenie and Baby, along with the track First Dance on which he collaborates with Usher.
Celebrity dating may be more appropriate for the young idol if his more experienced musical guru's words of advice are anything to go by.
Usher advised Bieber that fans tend to view famous people in a fantasy-type way and as a result relationships are often not feasible.

Bedbugs are tiny insects that commonly feed on human blood. During the day, they live in crevices in bedframes and furniture. At night, they come out to feed, typically on a sleeping person. Common symptoms of a bite include swelling, redness and itchiness.
An adult bedbug is only ¼ of an inch long with a flat, oval-shaped body. In size and appearance, it looks very much like an apple seed. It is naturally a light brownish-yellow color, but turns reddish-brown after it has fed. Reliable signs of the presence of bedbugs include areas marked by dark spotting and staining, remnants of their shed skins and small round blood spots on bedsheets.
You can't get rid of bedbugs on your own, and there are no quick solutions to removing them from your home. Extensive knowledge about bedbugs and their lifecycle is necessary in order to effectively eliminate them without unnecessary exposure to pesticide residues. We use the latest tools and methods, including heating and freezing, to neutralize these pests, and we maintain clear lines of communication with you during the entire process so that you know what we are doing and why we are doing it.

Florida: Under sunny skies and only a trace of wind, the third round of the Funai Classic quickly shaped up as a shootout so typical of Disney. It was so tight at the top that 19 players were within three shots of the lead before the final group had finished playing the second hole. World number one Vijay Singh, going after his fourth successive PGA Tour victory, had three putts catch the lip on the final five holes and still shot a 65. On the 18th hole, Singh's 12-foot putt rippled over the edge of the cup, as Singh let his putter dangle over his shoulders in disbelief. Mark Calcavecchia hasn't played at the Disney tournament since 1994, but had no choice this year and is making the most of it. His approach shot on 18 set up a birdie that closed a round of 65. It left him in the large group with Singh at 14-under 202 that included Tim Clark (64) and Geoff Ogilvy (67). Tough game Meanwhile, Tom Lehman took the lead on the 8th hole with a short birdie that brought him to 18 under par. Lehman had started the day in second, just one stroke behind Briny Baird. Chris DiMarco, who had a second round of 65, sank a long, quick birdie putt on the 12th hole to go 13-under-par. Scott Verplank got into contention for the second year running at Disney with a bogey-free 65 and was one shot behind at the end of the day. His birdie on 14 helped lead him to one of the best rounds of the day with seven-under-par. Lehman had a one-shot lead when he hit his drive a little too far left on the 13th hole, leaving him only 88 yards from the hole but behind a tree. Close fight Lehman took a steep swing to get the ball in the air quickly, and it just cleared the bunker and trickled another 10 feet into the cup for an eagle - his second of the day. That put him at 18-under and gave him a three-shot lead. Baird would not turn over the lead lightly. His approach shot on the 11th hole landed within feet of the cup and led to a birdie, one of five on the day for him. But on 18 he was unable to add to that total. Coming into the hole tied with Lehman at 17 under par, Baird's birdie putt rolled just wide right of the cup, forcing him to settle for par. Fortunately for Baird, Lehman's birdie putt on the final hole also rolled wide of the cup so the pair entered the clubhouse even with 199 strokes through three rounds.(AP)

Judgement day for Ferrari over team orders, WMSC likely not to issue any further punishment
It was the action on the track in Formula One at the German Grand Prix a few weeks ago, which forced Ferrari to come before the World Motor Sport Council in Paris today.
Although Jean Todt is the new President of the FIA, taking over from Max Mosley who stepped down nearly a year ago, the former Ferrari boss felt it could have influenced the decision if he was present. His deputy, Graham Stoker, was there to lead the proceedings in today's hearing.
When the incident initially took place, the FIA gave the team an immediate fine of $100,000, but with the uproar from the rest of the paddock, the case went to the WMSC, prompting them to take further action.
During the race held at the Hockenheimring circuit, many witnessed Felipe Massa as he slowed down, allowing team mate Fernando Alonso to take the lead, and take the chequered flag as the winner. At the time it seemed that the Spaniard, and his Italian team, were desperate to keep their fight for the title alive. However, all of the other teams, were less than impressed with the way they went about it.
There was also sufficient evidence to back up everyone's argument, to show that Ferrari had gone against the rulebook, which bans team orders in the Formula One since 2002. It clearly states, "Team orders which interfere with a race result are prohibited".
To confirm the suspicions at the German Grand Prix, it was the team radio transmission that was reported worldwide, which indicated that Massa should move over, and allow Alonso to pass him. It was Massa's race engineer, Rob Smedley, who delivered the message that his team mate was faster, and said, "Can you confirm you understand?" He then praised the Brazilian and apologised to him, saying "Good lad. Just stick with it. Sorry."
It was at the Austrian Grand Prix eight years ago, where Rubens Barrichello gave team mate Michael Schumacher the lead and race win, despite the German already being on course to pick up the victory.
Following these two occasions that has centered around Ferrari who have been at the centre of team orders scandals, today at the WMSC meeting, if nothing else it has resulted in this very rule to be reviewed.
The statement by the WMSC: "After an in depth analysis of all reports, statements and documents submitted, the judging body has decided to confirm the stewards' decision of a $100,000 fine for infringing article 39.1 of the sporting regulations and to impose the payment of the costs incurred by the FIA."
They furthered stated that, "The judging body has also acknowledged that article 39.1 of the sporting regulations should be reviewed and has decided to refer this question to the Formula 1 Sporting Working Group."
The FIA are considering whether to abolish it, because teams break it too often in the sport, and it is extremely hard to enforce. If the rule was no longer in existence, it could mean that teams would have to mutually agree, not to use team orders too much or too frequently.
While the paddock awaits the final decision on team orders from the FIA, there is the Italian Grand Prix to look forward to on Sunday. In terms of their title hopes, the home team, Ferrari, currently sit in third place of the Constructors' standings, and are seventy nine points behind McLaren, with Red Bull leading them by just one point. Whereas in the Drivers' Championship, both drivers are quite a distance from the top. Alonso is ahead of Massa in fifth place, but still forty-one points behind the leader, Lewis Hamilton.
Certainly after today's festivities in Paris, Ferrari will be hoping that it will not cast a shadow over their race weekend.
