Little Freddie King, New Orleans' genuine electric-country blues man, will turn 75 on July 19.
"I can't thank God enough for it," King said of his longevity. "In my mind, I'm still 15 or 16 years old. I hauled off and jumped straight up like a spring and fell back down. I wondered what was going on.
"I thought, 'Well, your body's got your mileage, your age on it.' That's the difference. Just like the things I used to do, I can't do them anymore — but I think about them all the time."
Prior to his landmark birthday in July, King will make his 45th appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on April 26.
"Thank God to Quint Davis (Jazz Fest producer-director), that he likes me and holds on to me," King said.
King and his band are performing this Thursday at d.b.a. on Frenchmen Street and Saturday at Hogs for the Cause in City Park. On April 11, he'll make an afternoon appearance at the French Quarter Festival and play an album-release show that evening at d.b.a.
In other King developments, a portrait of him by local artist Tami Curtis adorns one of this year's French Quarter Festival posters.
"My blues-loving fans," he says on his website, "I have been deeply honored in being selected for the 2015 French Quarter Festival poster."
King recorded his 12th album, "Messin' Around Tha Livin' Room," at The Living Room Recording Studio, a former church in Algiers. "Wacko" Wade Wright, the singer-guitarist's longtime drummer, produced the project.
It's ironic that a blues record was recorded in a former church. Historically, blues men and church folks don't mix.
"It's like when we played spiritual songs, stuff like that is all right," the Baptist-raised King said. "But if you play the blues, well, the devil's going to get you."
King believes no such thing.
"Actually, the blues comes from everything," he said. "And the gospel, jazz and all music came from the blues. Which they didn't understand. The blues is a history, the tribulations that you have been through."
If someone has a talent, such as music, King believes, he or she should use it but always in a respectable way.
"If you're doing wrong things with that, it's definitely going to take your mind the wrong way," he said. "But if you're playing the blues right, as a job, and there's a history that you done been through with it, that is not a sin."
King's personal music history dates to his childhood in McComb, Mississippi, where his daddy played guitar.
"He'd get off from work and come sit on the front porch in a rocking chair and play," King recalled. "I loved it and I watched him all the time. I asked him, 'Why don't learn me how to play guitar?' He said, 'Well, boy, it's a hard job to do, but I can show you some chords.' "
The whupping King received after he broke a string on his daddy's guitar convinced him to let it be. But like many creative, musically inclined youngsters in the rural South, King built his own guitar.
He made a resonating body from a cigar box. He transformed wood from his family's picket fence into a guitar neck and tuning pegs and wire into frets. He also made black paint from fireplace soot and pine resin.
And after King noticed the swooshing sound made by his daddy's horse's tail, the horse, reluctantly, provided strings.
Jumping a train, King traveled to New Orleans in 1957. Money he earned at a gas station allowed him to buy his first real guitar, an acoustic Silvertone from Sears, Roebuck and Co.
A Sears record player and three 45 rpm records (by Jimmy Reed, B.B. King and Lightnin' Hopkins) helped King, too. Slowing the 45s down to the 33 1?3 speed, he learned the songs, verse by verse, note by note. "And I just kept on at it."
Later, in a band featuring fellow Mississippi native Harmonica Williams, King performed in Slidell, Covington and Shrewsbury.
The group released an album, "Rock 'n' Roll Blues," in 1971. That album is collector's item now, but King didn't release a follow-up until 1997's "Swamp Boogie." He's since issued many recordings and performed throughout the world.
A blues man who's outlived many of his peers, including two more Mississippi natives, Guitar Slim and Bo Diddley, the grateful, more-famous-than-ever King sees himself as a fortunate man.
"Thank the good Lord for letting me see another day," he said.

The world of One Piece is a strange one, from a political perspective. There are three factions I want to take a closer look at, in hope of understanding their relation: The World Government, the Shichibukai and the Yonkou. I'm pretty much going to ignore the Marines in this, as they are fairly irrelevant for this, as they are but a tool for the World Government. This is not gonna be my best ever post, but what ya gonna do?
The World Government
Let's start off with probably the most complex of the three, the often hated, "all powerful" World Government. I'm going to start with a brief summary of the history and workings of the WG as well as a perhaps controversial real world comparison, before delving a bit deeper on their organization. When you look at the World Government, immediate comparisons can be drawn to the United Nations. They are both made up by the majority of nations in the world, they were both started after what we can assume was a massive war, they both have an army to one degree or the other and both have the upholding of peace, of law and order as their prime objective. According to Spandam the World Government is made up out of over 170 countries, the UN has about 20 more. The World Government was started by the "Twenty Kings", the ancestors of the World Nobles, after the war against the Ancient Kingdom. The United Nations were formed after World War 2, after the League of Nations, failed in their efforts to prevent it. Both the WG and the UN, hold an army of sorts, with the main difference being that the Peacekeepers are neither a standing army, nor an army to be offensively used. Their prime objective, keeping the peace, remains the same however.
Now I'll try to get a glimpse of how the world government functions on an organizational level. The two most telling aspects of that are the Gorosei and Reverie. Reverie is held once every four years. That tells us that it essentially has no power over day to day, and probably not a whole lot over long term matters either. No council that only meets so rarely can be anything more than a prestige façade, albeit a one with certain uses, as being invited into Reverie offers privileges. With Reverie essentially powerless though, that leaves a power vacuum inside the World Government, a power vacuum that is filled by the Gorosei. They handle the day to day runnings of the World Government, that includes giving the order to execute ace, studies on how to to turn humans into giants and covering up embarrassing defeats, for their vassals, such as Crocodile or Moriah. Some of the things they do, such as genetic experiments, also leads me to the conclusion that Reverie is essentially powerless and that the Kings and rulers in it, barely control their own lands. Rulers such as Iceburg or Cobra would never have stood for genetic research on children, I doubt they even know. The World Government, or rather the Gorosei, decided to cover up the fact that Crocodile was the leader of Baroque Works, something that, as far as we know, isn't even widely spread knowledge in Alabasta, where Cobra would have plenty of reasons to make it known. The only thing we do not know about the Gorosei, which would have been helpful in ANALysing them would be the answer to the simple question: How does one become a Gorosei? That would really tell us a lot about the workings of the WG, whether it's a dictatorship, ruling over the world by an iron fist, or whether they are but a proxy to the individual nations, although I doubt it. In short, the nations itself are almost meaningless, having to subject to the World Government and having no authority outside of their little islands.
The World Nobles, in my opinion, are irrelevant remnants of the civil war, clueless inbreds, who are obeyed because it is custom to do so, not because they serve any role in the governmental structure of One Piece.
The Shichibukai
The WG control two of the most important military powers in the world of One Piece. The Marines, who are under direct control, usually obey their orders to the letter, whereas the Shichibukai function more like mercenaries. The WG offers them immunity, they offer them support. I almost loathe to rank the Shichibukai as an important military power, because quite frankly they aren't. Due to lack of strength on some, due to lack of allegiance on others and most importantly, due to the divisiveness amongst themselves. If they worked together they'd certainly warrant that title, but everytime we see more than one Shichibukai on screen, they come close to infighting amongst themselves. Another problem is that at their heart, the Shichi are pirates, pirates who have different objectives and allegiances than the WG they allegedly serve. Mihawk refusing to aid the WG at Marineford as soon as Shanks arrived is a good example, in fact the whole Marineford Arc somewhat lessened the importance of the Shichibukai for me. They are allegedly one of the three great powers, yet they barely played any part in the proceedings there. A battle that should have been a decisive victory for the WG, as 2 of the 3 great powers stood "united" against a single of the Yonkou, almost turned out to be a horrendous loss. The act of becoming a Shichibukai already marks them as dependent. It is not a title won by power, or by cunning, it is a given title, meaningless really and revocable at any time. Whether they themselves believe it, they are government dogs, and like even the most faithful dog, can and must be put down once they start randomly biting people.
The Yonkou
Speaking of the Yonkou, they serve an interesting role as well. Four unallied parties, that divide the New World amongst themselves to some degree or another. I believe that united they'd be the strongest of the three powers, but due to their nature such an alliance is nigh impossible. The only ones that might have been considered allies were Whitebeard and Shanks, it is already known that Kaidou wanted to stop Shanks intervening at Marineford, a big Mom and Kaidou alliance is possible but I doubt it. And Blackbeard simply isn't the type of guy to make real alliances, now that he has what he needs. Unless he sees a significant advantage to a temporary alliance, he would not enter one. A real world comparison one might make is to the Warlords that ruled large parts of China after 1916. Together they'd have been able to threaten anybody, but divided as they were, they were able to be picked off one by one.
Sry for the long and probably shitty post. Here's a dancing panda to make up for it.

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
WHAT are these killers afraid of? That has always puzzled me. I have never heard of any GLBTs att
One of my favorite (fiction) authors has stressed over and over in his stories that hate and anger are fear "in drag." I know he's right on that.
I have never heard of any LGBTs attacking, beating killing str8s....except in very rare cases of self defense. (I do remember Stonewall; I knew a few guys who were involved in that rebellion... and the police deserved it.)
It's about as rare as atheists and/or humanists starting wars on religionists.... the believers always attack first. Their buybull tells them to kill anyone who is the slightest bit different from the majority in any way..
"A grand jury has indicted five members of the Word of Faith Fellowship Church on charges that they kidnapped and assaulted a gay man because of his "sinful" sexual orientation."
We'll see how that goes.
On the story aboutISIS thugs murdering a man for, supposedly being gay... I"m not sure why that is different news compared to their genocide, torture, grisly murders by decapitation, up close and personal. Here's the "but" - and it should not surprise me either - the comments after the story:
Duncan Los Angeles, CA #2 10 hrs ago For once ISIS did a good thing here. Judged: [Agree] 3 [Brilliant] Vincent New York, NY That's one way to deal with queers! ROFLMAO!
Bertold that is very sage advice. Considering the photo. Unless you want to give the neighbors something to talk about.
The Michigan House Just Passed a Bill That Would Deprive LGBT People of Their Most Basic Rights
Indicating that he supports the bill (in inimitable wingnut doublespeak) for individual liberty, MI Speaker of the House Jase Bolger said:
I have been horrified as some have claimed that a person's faith should only be practiced while hiding in their home or in their church.
Rolling Stone review of The Imitation Game, film about Alan Turing cracking the enigma code
Benedict Cumberbatch cracks the code in this biopic about the cryptanalyst who helped the Allies win WWII
BY PETER TRAVERS | November 26, 2014
It's an undeniable pleasure to dig into a crackling spy thriller dished out by experts. The Imitation Game is an immersive true story that laces dizzying tension with raw emotion. Benedict Cumberbatch, an Emmy winner for Sherlock Holmes, turns on the brainpower again to play Alan Turing, a genius mathematician and social misfit who teamed up with a handful of cryptanalysts at London's Bletchley Park during World War II to crack the Nazis' naval code and help win the war. That he did, only to see his achievements buried in government secrecy and to end his own life in 1954 after being persecuted for the then-crime of homosexuality. The queen pardoned him posthumously last year. Talk about too little, too late.
And yet The Imitation Game doesn't dawdle over the spilled milk of social treachery. The roguish script by newcomer Graham Moore alleviates the feel of a musty period piece. And Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum (Headhunters) directs with masterly assurance, fusing suspense and character to create a movie that vibrates with energy.
The film's prime force is Cumberbatch, a great actor whose talent shines here on its highest beams. It's an explosive, emotionally complex performance. An early scene in which Turing, 27, interviews for a job at Bletchley with Commander Dennison (Charles Dance, doing smug to a turn) is wonderfully comic as Turing gains the upper hand. The commander retaliates by hiring chess champion Hugh Alexander (Matthew Goode) to head the unit, which includes John Cairncross (Allen Leech) and Peter Hilton (Matthew Beard). Turing later persuades Winston Churchill to put him in charge of his perceived inferiors. He's more amenable to Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley), the only woman in the unit. Knightley is terrific, giving a supporting role major dimensions. It's sharply poignant to watch these two delude themselves into considering marriage.
The action ignites when, after two years of effort, Turing invents his Enigma-busting machine, a proto-computer geared to break a code that the Nazis change every 24 hours. It's been a long time since intellectual sparring created such excitement onscreen. I've heard a few critics dismiss this mind-bender as hopelessly old-hat. Ha! If so, long live retro.

Chevrolet currently sells a wide range of products in the Indian market. The manufacturer is having a tough time selling vehicles in India. Their plan is to introduce vehicles that will attract buyers to their products with an all-new SUV in India by 2015-end.
Chevrolet India has brought its SUV to India for R&D purposes. They would like to locally assemble their Trailblazer to achieve competitive pricing, thus making it a lucrative buy.
Internationally the Trailblazer is powered by a huge 2.8-litre diesel mill. It is mated to a 6-speed auto transmission, however, in India they will provide an optional 5-speed manual transmission as well. The diesel mill has been tuned to generate 200 horsepower, along with 500 Nm of peak torque.
Chevrolet provides its SUV with several key safety features as well, which include:
- ABS with EBD.
- Electronic Stability Program.
- Hill Start Assist.
- Panic Brake Assist.
- Cornering Brake Control.
- Hydraulic Brake Fade Assist.
- Hill Descent Control.
- Traction Control.
- Driver and Passenger airbags.
- Child Restraint Provision.
- Electrical Theft Deterrent.
- Immobilisation Security System.
The Trailblazer will have to fight against tough competitors in Indian market. Chevrolet's all-new SUV will have to take on the likes of Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour and Mitsubishi Pajero. Pricing will be critical with the Trailblazer, which could make it or break it as a hot seller.

Average SAT Scores for the New SAT in 2016
The SAT is a standardized test. I know, this is hardly big news. But when we are talking about average SAT scores, it's a big deal. The whole point of a test is based on the idea of a bell curve. The exact middle of the point scale should correspond to the 50 percentile, meaning exactly half the students get higher than this score, half get lower.
Things don't always work out perfectly. On the old SAT, the math mean was slightly higher than 500 (the mean score) and slightly lower for the writing and reading. But the total score was close enough to 1500, which was the middle.
This will likely happen with the new SAT but we won't get exact data until later when a large number of students take the test.
The bottom line: the average score on the new SAT will be very close to 1000. The 25% (meaning you score only better than 25% of test takers) will be close to 800 and the 75% will be closer to 1200.
Of course, what is average nationwide and what is average at a given school are two completely different things. For instance, on the old test the average Harvard score was between 2100-2350, whereas the nationwide average score was 1497.
Though schools haven't released the information for the average SAT scores for the new test (the test did just debut and students have yet to be accepted), my guess, based on concordance tables between the two tests, is that the average score ranges won't differ much.
Remember, though, that the new SAT is out of 1600, not 2400. Therefore, multiply that 25%-75% average Harvard score range by ⅔: 2100(⅔)-2350(⅔): 1400-1560ish. Assuming the 50% is in the middle of the score range, the average Harvard SAT score on the new test will be 1480.
For any SAT score range, you'll want to get as close to the 75% mark as possible, unless you have something that is very compelling about your transcript.
Not all SAT average scores are created equally.
Above, I gave you what is called a composite score. Some schools, however, won't just be looking at the composite score. To give you an example, imagine you are on the college admissions board of a prestigious university that focuses on engineering. You will be focused on the math score.
So if you get two students with a 1400, but one has a perfect 800 in math and the other has only a 600 math, you are probably going to lean towards the first candidate, all other things being equal.
Average 2016 SAT cross-section and subscores
The example with the math and verbal scores was pretty straightforward. The crazy thing is those aren't the only scores schools might be looking at, and I'm not talking about the optional essay.
These extra scores won't be optional but will be built into the verbal and math sections.
First off, you'll have cross-section scores, which refer to concepts that are tested over several sections. For instance, there is an analysis of science cross-section question type. This might include the graphs you encounter in both the reading and the writing sections. The cross-section scores will be based on a range from 10-40. My guess is these scores might be important if you are applying to a specific program in which those scores are relevant. For instance, if you are applying to MIT for a science-based major, the score on the analysis of science cross-section might be more important.
Additionally, you'll also have subscores, which are for a concept within a section. In the writing section, there will be separate scores for Expression of Ideas and Standard English Conventions. For Math, Heart of Algebra and Passport to Advanced Mathematics will have a separate subscore. Some subscores, such as Relevant Words in Contexts and Command of Evidence will straddle the verbal section, popping up in both the reading and the writing sections (remember: the reading and writing sections are lumped together in one verbal score, which is out of 800). The subscores range from 1-15.
It's unlikely that colleges will release averages for these subscores and cross-test scores for their admitted students. They are just there to give a little bit more information should admissions officers really want to dig deeply, or for you to better understand your own scores.
For historical information on old SAT average scores that can help inform what you think about new SAT average scores, check out what is below.
2015 Average SAT Scores
The SAT isn't your average test in any way. Not in it's length (it's long), not in the type of reading involved, not in the trickiness of the math, and least of all in how to calculate SAT scores.
So when we consider the average SAT scores, we have to think twice about what exactly we're looking at and, more importantly, why we're looking at it in the first place.
Average SAT scores according to the College Board
Here's the short and sweet:
Critical reading: 497
Mathematics: 513
Writing: 487
This information comes straight from The College Board, and reports averages for the Class of 2013. Preliminary data for the Class of 2014 shows that their average SAT score was 1497.
But hold on a second… there's so much more that goes into understanding where you stand relative to your 3 million peers who have also pained their way through those bubble sheets. Your SAT score is more than a zero-sum game.
What does the average SAT score really tell you?
The answer is a resounding "not much." This is the average of every single person who takes the SAT. Think about where those 3 million people are coming from. The average SAT score at your school might be drastically higher or lower than the universal average. In fact, the average SAT score in your state might be a whole lot higher or lower.
And even if that doesn't throw your perspective off a bit, here's another thought: through most of the middle of the U.S., the students who take the SAT vs ACT are generally those applying to the most exclusive schools. So there's this huge number of kids who are scoring much higher than the "average student" would theoretically score, and that skews the balance a bit. Needless to say, they're not overly concerned with the SAT Score Choice—they've got it in the bag.
And let's add to that some even further complications. Some students have to take the SAT as a requirement and don't care what score they get. Others, worse still, are forced to take it by parents who fear their children face a life of serving burgers and fries down the street if they don't get a degree(although I hate to break their hearts, a B.A. doesn't actually prevent a McJob).
So just going by your SAT score vs. the national mean, you don't really get a lot of helpful information.
Your goal SAT score
Sure, the national average would be important if you were in direct competition with your one-million-plus future college friends, but the truth is you aren't. Some of those nice folks might be headed to a big state school in Ohio or California, while you may have a tiny liberal arts college in Podunk, North Carolina or upstate New York in mind.
The people you're in competition with, those students whose scores you need to care about, are the ones applying to the same schools as you. Nobody else matters—not that kid who wears cargo pants every day and says he's shooting for a perfect score, not that really quiet girl who you heard already did get a perfect score, not the kid who can't figure out how he got a "700%" (That's like… an A++, right?), and definitely not Kobe Bryant.
The only thing that counts is what students accepted to your dream schools are averaging. It's not always easy to hunt down that info, but do your best to get it. You can almost always find this information on your prospective school's admission's website, as we did here for Harvard's average SAT scores and Yale's average SAT scores. Then use that average as your metric. Never mind the universal average score.

Brazil data show signs of recovery
Brazil's economy is showing signs of potential recovery amid indications that growth in June was the strongest in 15 months.
The central bank's forward indicator for gross domestic product increased 0.75 per cent compared with May, which combined with stronger retail sales and job creation, suggests that official stimulus efforts are beginning to bear fruit.
"We are beginning to see signs that the recovery has started," said finance minister Guido Mantega, commenting on the earlier retail figures.
The world's second-largest emerging-market economy has slowed rapidly since 2010, when it grew at an Asia-like rate of 7.5 per cent, the fastest pace in more than two decades. This year growth is expected to register 2 per cent or less after slipping to 2.7 per cent last year as a strong currency and competition from imports led to a contraction in industrial production.
In response, the central bank has cut rates to a record low while the government has stepped up stimulus efforts, including cutting a tax on cars that led to a surge in activity in the sector, the world's fourth largest by sales.
After nearly four quarters of sluggish growth, the central bank's economic activity index, the IBC-Br, was 0.99 per cent higher year-on-year in June, beating market expectations. "Today's reading is another piece of information that suggests that activity could be starting to recover," wrote Barclays economist Guilherme Loureiro in an analyst note. "While part of the boost was driven by temporary effects … the recovery appears to be gaining momentum and becoming more widespread."
Retail sales in June also supported the indications of a budding recovery after rising 1.5 per cent compared with May, beating analysts' expectations for a 0.3 per cent fall. "After a contraction in May, June's retail sales figures confirmed the favourable momentum of household consumption," Credit Suisse wrote in a report.
The gains on the retail front will buy time for the government while it tries to inject energy into its investment programme. Economists believe that Brazil's consumer-driven model of growth is nearing its limits and that the economy must boost investment, particularly to lift the capacity of its overburdened infrastructure.
President Dilma Rousseff this week announced a R$133bn ($66bn) package for roads and railways in what analysts said was a welcome but challenging step in the right direction.
In other good news for the government, July marked a break with a slowdown in job creation, with the economy creating a net 142,496 jobs. This was higher than during the same month a year earlier, marking a break with the trend in the first half, when job creation slowed 32 per cent compared with the same period in 2011.

I was trying to find a way of passing on information to my SL friends about language events which may not relate to SL . I will totally understand if this discussion thread is removed if not deemed relevant and I wil not be hurt or upset!!
(1) The Language Show is 21-23 Oct 2011 in London Language Show 2011 Actually, this *could* be SL related as the orgaisers have suggested that I may like to lead a session in their Teacher 'network' lounge on SL as a way of networking. I am trying to persuade them that SL is a valid session for the main show, as it is a way that adults can learn languages. Whatever they decide, I am planning to host a 'social' event in a nearby pub after the Saturday sessions which will hopefiully end with a 'show and tell' for teachers of any language, (Jeremy Harmer has said he'll come along too) and any of you are welcome. So if you are considering coming, please pencil this into your diary for Sat 22nd October.
(2) I am going to try to host my first webinar this Saturday at 10-11 GMT+1 ... not SL related this time .. John Connor will be telling us how we can use song in the classroom... btu any of you are welcome to join us! Here are the details: ALL London Webinar - Song It would be nice to do a future one on SL .. so please let me know if you'd be interested in participating!
Views: 37
Bonjour bonjour Helen,
Intéressée comme toujours, j'applaudis toujours les initiatives!
1/ The language show: if you need assistance in trying to convince the organisers that a presentation of our use of SL as a community of practice medium and PLN, please let me (us, anyone else?) know. I think it would fit right in from what I saw last year, however to be more convincing on the practical teaching side of SL, we need students who have been successful, (like you I guess) but who are not specifically language geeks (like me and a lot of us). The audience need to hear stories of actual language learning like Cata's or younger audience if you have one at hand. :))
2/Webinar = 10-11GMT + 1 = 12GMT? or UK Time? PM or AM and which platform will you use? Adobe connect, Elluminate, etc? This, to ensure I have the right plug-ins beforehand!
Ciao bellissima!
Good points Edith
1 / ...can you suggest where we could get peope from / how we could capture experiences of others? Perhaps video interviews which we could project? Yes - please coudl others suggest .. the organisers are talking to me about this this week.
2/ I need advice as to how to write times! I meant 10-11 in the time I am experiencing at the moment, which is British summer time .. so GMT+1 .. in the morning! So should I write 10:00 - 11:00 [GMT+1]? It's Adobe Connect - would be GREAT to see you .. I was hoping that you'd come! He really is good on the ukulele!
1/ Well anyone who has taught or is currently teaching and who could invite some students to report on what they do. I am happy to talk about the result of teaching a young Mexican student of architecture who decided to do his report on Le Mont St Michel after we visited the place on SL and the other activities I did with another student at lower level.
2/ Simply use GMT (or UTC) then people can relate with their own timezones? Another good way is to add the link to the World clock event announcer. I will try to be there Saturday 9-10AM GMT if you send me the link to the room by email. A plus!
Hi Helen
(1) I have put in to talk at this, so if I'm accepted, I'll be there - I would be more than happy to help you out with both the SL session and the show and tell - just let me know how I can help out
(2) sounds great. Unfortunately, I'll be at the BESIG summer seminar in Preston
I agree with Edith. We need evidence of success stories. Are there any Languagelab students who can talk about their experiences? It would be nice to be able to go online and show SL live, but I have had more failures than successes when I have attempted to do this. Whenever I prepare for a presentation on SL I send a list of requirements to the technical people at the venue, especially with regard to the speed of the broadband connection and unblocking of ports - but they often fail to understand what is required, and the live presentation flops. So I usually bring a set of videos and PowerPoint presentations with me that I can demonstrate on my laptop.
I am not sure yet whether I will be available around the time of the Language Show, but count me in as a possible helper.
Great to see peopel at the webinar .. special thanks to Heike and Edith for support before, during and after! Here's a link to an account and a recording for anyone interested:

how good is a tripath ?
hello everybody,
i have a tripath amp for 3 years. it's a t2020. i was looking around for getting a high end system.
my search started out with a single end but i ended up with an OTL amp (and a full range phy-hp).
in those readings i read a lot of post where they say that the tripath amp put there tubes in the shades, only an OTL design could win it from a tripath.
So now my question: how good is a tripath really, now the most people have heard one, (also alot of tweaks are know: the psu and other optimalisations...), and the hype is a bit gone for the tripath.
thank you
i know the t2020 is only 10 watt, but that's all i need, even less. at this moment i'm playing on a fe167e mltl and my next speakes will be more efficient. (probably full range open baffle)
Hi there yes tripath especially the ta2020 is that good, best sounding class d amp Ive ever herd in short warm, organic, laid back, detailed although tripath is no more it would seem there is no shortage of the chips especially the popular ones ta2020, ta2024, etc mabee cirrus logic is keeping them in production in china or something because there are a lot of ready made amps on the market using these chips as well as diy kits am currently using Charlize 2 no input caps feedback resistors soldered directly to the pins on the ta2020 i read about that mod from somebody on this forum, and on my system and i like the sound better than my pushpull class a preamp naim nap 150 much more expensive, you would never have seen such a price to performance level just a few years ago.
Every hype is in the beginning otherwise it wouldn´t be a one.
Tripath became legend with it´s short life - so the king is dead ... long live the king.
If you own high sensitive and impedance speakers - the Tripath´s should be the first choice for every audiophiles who dont own a money crapping donkey.
thanks guys,
i still have to do the input cap mod, it makes a big difference i have heard, so i'm gonna do it.
well, i'm happy to hear that it is that good. and since i don't have a money crapping donkey, i'm happy with it.
i have a sensiteve (94db speaker) and impedance: a fullrange fe167e.
but what i would like to know is how it holds itself to a decent diy tube amp or solid state. how much would have to be spend to leave the tripath behind.
and how much would it be behind ?
like a pp triode el84 or a SE300b at 1000 euro, are they capable of beating the tripath to death ? the tripath does a great job when it comes down to control and bass i think. to beat that, is gonna be hard.
i'm willing to put money down, but it has to make sense, otherwise i will live happy with the tripath, (and oh yes its high efficency)
T amp is better that my MA50 mono blocks $4000 worth
Hi, I have also found that the T2020 to be very good indeed, better than my $4000 Musical Fidelity MA50 monoblock from a few years ago which had been rated as exelent by Hi-Fi Choice.
You say you want to upgrade but what CD are you using, if you are not using a better sounding $4000 / $5000 cd player then this is were you should start. Many people mis-understand the T amp and think that because it is cheap you can use cheap componts with it to. This is not true and if you cannot afford a decent hi-end CD player, use you T with a modded PS1 you will be amazed at the sound. I have also gotten a resonable jump in sound quality, ie impact, slam by using a portable battery jump starter as the power supplie. Also consider Bi-amping or even tri amping your speakers with more T amps, they are cheap enough. Hope this helps. I am currently teaching in China and have found a little electronics guy who pushes out a very nice board for $20US, he has a minimum buy of 10 which I bought and have seveal left over if you are interested.
thanks tabarddn for your reply,
i just put up a post for the best sub 100 dollar amp, probably it is a t amp.
well i don't use any cd player, i use usb DAC, the gamma 1 to be precise.
i have also modded the t amp. I use an smps because i'm not willing to put a battery in the house. i will think about it. but it needs to be able to play 12h non stop. i know that the input caps do a lot of harm to the sound.
i have connected a lot of sanyo oscon's straight on the pins of the t2020 so that the sounds gets much cleaner when cranking up the volume.
still, a battery psu, with a full range horn at >100db efficency will be probably the best to get super sound out of this system.
i'm gonna look a bit closer to the battery,
but i have heard that a normal lineair psu would do very nice to;
I have a Arjen Helder TA2020 powered with a Samsung 14v 4A Monitor adapter. I gives the Amp plenty of Grunt to play my not-so sensitive 2-Way Bozaks as Nicely as you could want...At least Nipper thinks so...
Samsung AC Adapter 14V 4A AP06314-UV LCD Monitor Laptop - eBay (item 180417297531 end time Nov-07-09 07:49:59 PST)
thanks sled108 and tabarddn
so tabarddn you had to buy all the parts seperatly ?
do you have also a spare amount of them, so that i can buy it as a kit.
Hi, yes I have 4 seperate boards that I do not need. The guy in China makes up a complete amp with Transformer fitted or you can get in as we normally see it with a plug you a SMPS.
I actually have just received from him a Valve Pre from him based on the Marantz 7. So I have this to boast the input signal a little then I have two T-2020 in Bi-Amp configuration. Running off of 2 seperate 12 volt dry-cell 7 amp batteries. WOW what a step up from just running the amps straight from the signal source. It also now gives me the convenience of 6 inputs. **Audio Heaven** Anyway enough of my ranting, I can let the boards go for US$20 each.. They work of of DC or AC and you can switch polarity with no effect.
so you are only talking about the boards, the rest of the parts i should buy ?
like the T2020 itself ?
if so i'm not interested, cause it will cost more in transport costs getting all the parts togheter then just buy a full kit
may i ask you some things about your setup:
1)how big are the batteries ?
2)do you use digital crossover like a behringer
3)does the tube in front of the tripath only brings extra power or does it advance the sound ?
4)what do you mean with : straight from the signal source ?
thanks a lot

BANGALORE: The booming hotel industry in India seems to have caught the fancy of major
retail players. Foraying into hospitality business for the first time, Dubai-based retail major Landmark has
proposed to set up 12 budget hotels across India in the three-star category.
Unveiling an investment of over Rs 500 crore for India alone, the group plans to operate the hotels under its
value brand - CityMax. Initially the CityMax hotels will be fully-owned by the group. However, Landmark could
look at contract management route eventually. Landmark is targeting over 20 hotels across India and UAE by
The group has identified land parcels across 12 cities, including four metros, and other tier II cities.
Comprising 150-200 rooms, CityMax hotels are expected to become operational in the next one year and room
rents will range between Rs 2, 000 and Rs 4, 000. The projects are expected to come up closer to central
business districts.
"Our offering will not be cut and dry affair. It will have a certain degree of customer experience and room
service steeped in Indian values," Ravi Saxena, MD of CityMax Hotels India, told ET.
He further added, the hotel chain will not be offering standardised room tariffs across country. Apart from
the CityMax hotels, under the leisure division, the group is looking at adding 20 family entertainment
centres-Fun City in India.
Currently, it operates one in Chennai. Also the first hypermarket being planned in Bangalore is expected to
become operational within three months.
Meanwhile, Landmark, which currently operates 11 Lifestyle stores and five Lifestyle Home Centres in India,
plans to invest $500 million on expansion plans over next three years.
This investment includes expansion of its retail, hypermarkets, leisure and hospitality businesses in India.
Landmark is looking at adding 26 Lifestyle and 10 Home Centres in the next 36 months.
The group's value retail offering - Max - currently operates eight stores in India and is likely to grow to
50 stores over the next four years.

Quick-Release Camera Belt Holster
This holster allows you to carry your camera securely on your belt with quick-release. Makes it easy for using multiple cameras, and also assist when making lens changes (because you only have so many hands, haha).
The cool thing about this holster (and how it differs from our other one) is that is has side slits so that it can be applied to any belt, or any section of a belt, without the need for threading the belt all the way through. This one also has a nice security feature because it LOCKS into place, and has to be released to come out.
- Compatible with all cameras with 1/4" threading
- Weight Capacity: 22 pounds
- Dimensions: approx. 3.3" x 2.9" x 0.78"
- Material: Metal & Hard Plastic
- Color: Black
How to use:
1. Screw the metal ball joint piece onto camera
2. Attach the holster to your waist belt
3. While using, simply insert the ball joint into the slit on the holster, then slide it down to hang
4. When you want to take the camera off from the holster, just press the camera release on the holster and take off your camera.
Package Includes:
1× Camera Quick-Release Holster
1x Pin with ball joint
1x Allen wrench
(Belt not included, the camera also not included)

Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Ageby Clay Shirky
For decades, technology encouraged people to squander their time and intellect as passive consumers. Today, tech has finally caught up with human/b>/i>
The author of the breakout hit Here Comes Everybody reveals how new technology is changing us from consumers to collaborators, unleashing a torrent of creative production that will transform our world.
For decades, technology encouraged people to squander their time and intellect as passive consumers. Today, tech has finally caught up with human potential. In Cognitive Surplus, Internet guru Clay Shirky forecasts the thrilling changes we will all enjoy as new digital technology puts our untapped resources of talent and goodwill to use at last.
Since we Americans were suburbanized and educated by the postwar boom, we've had a surfeit of intellect, energy, and time-what Shirky calls a cognitive surplus. But this abundance had little impact on the common good because television consumed the lion's share of it-and we consume TV passively, in isolation from one another. Now, for the first time, people are embracing new media that allow us to pool our efforts at vanishingly low cost. The results of this aggregated effort range from mind expanding-reference tools like Wikipedia-to lifesaving-such as Ushahidi.com, which has allowed Kenyans to sidestep government censorship and report on acts of violence in real time.
Shirky argues persuasively that this cognitive surplus-rather than being some strange new departure from normal behavior-actually returns our society to forms of collaboration that were natural to us up through the early twentieth century. He also charts the vast effects that our cognitive surplus-aided by new technologies-will have on twenty-first-century society, and how we can best exploit those effects. Shirky envisions an era of lower creative quality on average but greater innovation, an increase in transparency in all areas of society, and a dramatic rise in productivity that will transform our civilization.
The potential impact of cognitive surplus is enormous. As Shirky points out, Wikipedia was built out of roughly 1 percent of the man-hours that Americans spend watching TV every year. Wikipedia and other current products of cognitive surplus are only the iceberg's tip. Shirky shows how society and our daily lives will be improved dramatically as we learn to exploit our goodwill and free time like never before.

Shirky suggests a new world of involvement leading to projects we can be proud to contribute to. He writes about how people meet online for one type of interest but build separate organizations with real impact in separate fields offline. This was easy to read (thoughts flowed well from one to another). Shirky provides links and endnotes to follow up as well.
This brainy book, with its fascinating historical and scientific references, illuminates a central aspect of 21st century life - what people are doing on the Internet actively and jointly with the thinking time they used to spend watching TV passively and alone - and enables readers to see this slice of human experience in a new way. New York University professor Clay Shirky intelligently and insightfully explains how putting the Internet and its online social media tools into the hands of nearly two billion people who have more than a trillion hours of free time is resulting in a new, optimistic and empowered world. He cites such unique, useful Web developments as Wikipedia, PickupPal, the Apache Project and countless other online wonders. If you don't yet fully understand the potential of social media, you will when you read this book. getAbstract recommends this outstanding work to anyone who wants to know more about how and why the Internet and social media are dramatically changing the world.

He will be the first person he knows of in his family to graduate college, he said.
"That's going to set the tone for my family, for my younger brothers and sisters and hopefully my children," Blue said. "That'll be one of the greatest feelings of my life right there."
IMPROVEMENT?: Bryan McClendon insists the Bulldogs' kickoff return team is better this year than it was last, but the statistics are even worse. Georgia was 112th in kickoff returns in 2004 with an average of 16.5 yards per return. It's 112th again this year, but it's average is worse (15.7). Still, McClendon said, there is potential there.
"We're so close. We're so, so close," he said. "I feel we are about 10 times better than we were last year. We just haven't put it together."
PRACTICE REPORT: Defensive tackle Gerald Anderson (concussion) and defensive end Charles Johnson (ankle) returned to limited action Tuesday and are expected to play Saturday.
WHIZ KIDS?: Georgia is not only ranked on the field, it's also a Top 25 team in the test room, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Journal examined as many test scores from the Wonderlic Personnel Test as it could verify to measure which NFL team had the smartest players and which college produced the smartest, at least as measured by the test. The Wonderlic is given to almost all potential NFL draft picks to judge their readiness to handle the increasing mental load of the league.
The Bulldogs came in No. 24 in the country and No. 2 in the SEC in the study. The average score by a Georgia player was 19.8, nine points behind No. 1 Stanford. Florida (20.8) is the only conference team to measure higher.
The St. Louis Rams, with an average Wonderlic score of 24.6, were tabbed the NFL's smartest team. The Atlanta Falcons came in 19th (21.1).
THIS AND THAT: D.J. Shockley was named Tuesday as one of 184 semi-finalists for the 2005 Draddy Trophy, which is known as the academic Heisman. ... Tennessee has a 9-7-1 record against Georgia in both Athens and Knoxville. ... The Volunteers have 10 players from Georgia, the most of any state other than Tennessee.

Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl, who has had a rough offseason after admitting lying to NCAA investigators earlier in the summer, told an Atlanta radio station that he doesn't think the school would be justified in terminating him from his position.
"I don't think so. No. I think it is certainly up for discussion," Pearl told 790 the Zone. "I don't believe that that would be the case, otherwise that would be what's taken place."
Pearl, who said he couldn't talk about particulars of the investigation while it is ongoing, also said that he couldn't explain why he lied to investigators. And he said that the things his staff did could not have given them much of an recruiting advantage.
"I will say, and I do believe very strongly that in the things that we did, we did not gain a tremendous recruiting advantage. We made some bad decisions and we are paying a very serious price ... Adversity does not build character, it reveals character."
So far, that price has not reached termination. And Pearl is obviously trying to make the best of a very bad situation and even said that he should have treated this incident like the one that was revealed earlier this week in which Wisconsin-Milwaukee self-reported a similar incident while Pearl was coach of the Panthers.
"I should have handled this situation like I handled it the last time and that was to self report a violation that at that time was secondary," Pearl said.
Problem is, he didn't. But despite all the issues surrounding him, Pearl thinks he'll survive the situation and remain with the Vols.
"I believe that I will. I don't think that this is going to define me. You have an opportunity in life to do some good and sometimes there will be some bad. I hope and pray that the good outweighs the bad. We are very serious about compliance, very serious about what we have done. I don't have a crystal ball. I can't predict the future. But I can stand on my record in the past, know what I did and continue moving forward."

Jessica Ennis won the Olympic heptathlon gold medal on Saturday, the first for Britain on the track. Ennis started with a record in the hurdles and finished it off almost 36 hours later with an 800-meter run that was more like two victory laps of the packed, 80,000-seat stadium. Ennis went into the last of her seven events with a lead of 188 points over Austra Skujyte of Lithuania and extended her margin by winning the last race in 2 minutes, 8.65 seconds. The capacity crowd went wild as Ennis collapsed over the line.

Recent Widower Recovers Lost Wedding Ring After 15 Years
David Penner is still grieving after the death of his wife of 42 years, Nancy, earlier this year. But earlier this week, Penner, 68, was comforted by the return of the wedding ring that he lost 15 years ago and thought would be gone forever.
Penner lost his wedding ring 15 years ago while he and Nancy were Christmas tree shopping at Wyckoff's Tree Farm near their home in New Jersey. Years past, and Penner was resigned to the fact that the ring was lost forever, believing he'd need a miracle to get it back.
However, Penner seems to have gotten his miracle. Back in April, John Wyckoff, owner of Wyckoff's Tree Farm, stumbled upon the ring while he was planting trees in the ground.
"I saw something that didn't belong," explains Wyckoff. "A glint of something, but I didn't know exactly what it was." After cleaning it off, Wyckoff was able to read the inscription on the ring. He told the local media about the discovery, hoping to reunite the ring with its rightful owner.
"I got probably about a half dozen emails of people trying to give me leads," said Wyckoff. One of those leads happened to come from Penner's sister-in-law, who got the two men in touch with one another.
Wyckoff hosted Penner at his home, and after Penner told him the date on the band and produced a copy of his wedding certificate, Wyckoff knew that Penner was the rightful owner he was looking for.
Penner never replaced the ring and he says that he's now wearing it for the first time since the day he lost it at the tree farm.
"It was a warm feeling and it felt like the beginning of our marriage and our life together was back," said Penner, adding that such a miracle happened at a time when he needed it the most.
The man who found the ring agrees. "It was like finding a needle in a haystack to find the ring," said Wyckoff. "But yet also succeed to find the owner that was the second miracle in the story."
