Classic California license plates (Yellow '50s, Black '60s, Blue '70s)
Tired of the look of the new California plates on your vintage car? There is a solution, but you have to act fast, and most importantly, share with your friends!
California Assemblyman Mike Gatto, a man with a love of old cars, has made a real effort on behalf of his state's fellow classic car lovers. Mike introduced a bill in 2012 to allow owners of 1950s, '60s and '70s cars to trade in their modern license plates for vintage replicas.
This is the perfect opportunity for people stuck with modern plates to get period-appropriate plates back on their cars. But, there is a catch. You must sign up and order in advance; the DMV will only proceed with the program if they receive a minimum of 7,500 orders per decade, and we would like to help spread the word. The deadline of Dec. 31, 2014, is coming quickly, and as of this posting there are less than three months left to order.

A MUDDY route around a Chipping Sodbury recreation ground has been transformed into a permanent pathway, thanks to the legacy of the Diamond Jubilee.
The Jubilee path, which runs 900 metres around The Ridings and links up with an existing path which runs parallel with Wickwar Raod, was officially opened on Saturday (February 22).
The path, first discussed by the Chipping Sodbury Diamond Jubilee committee which held its first Big Lunch in 2012, provides a sturdy and accessible circular route for dog walkers, wheelchair users and parents with pushchairs.
The project was predominantly funded by an £18,000 grant from Natural England but also received financial backing from the Diamond Jubilee Committee, Frome Valley Community Action Group, Merlin Housing Association and the Hogweed Trotters.
David Shipp, Diamond Jubilee committee member and chairman of the Chipping Sodbury Town Trust which owns the land, said it would create a lasting legacy for Chipping Sodbury.
"It runs for 900 metres, from the existing pathway that starts at Wickwar Road all the way round to the lower car park," he said. "So it gives a complete circular route.
"There will be a hard dust covering and we want to edge the pathway to make it look nicer and make maintenance easier. It will also help keep it together for as long as we possibly can."
The pathway was opened by Geoff Keogh , director of the Ashton Court Parkrun, and took place immediately after the first ever Chipping Sodbury Parkrun which used the new route as its course.

Weimar is a city in Colorado County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,181 at the 2010 census.
In 1873 the town was founded as Jackson, but subsequently called Weimar in tribute to the German city of Weimar.
Located on Interstate 10 and US 90 between San Antonio, Austin, and Houston, Weimar is a small community of predominately Czech and German descendants.
Weimar is famous for Kasper's sausage, which draws a crowd every Saturday to Kasper's Meat Market in downtown Weimar.
There is also a strong history of baseball in Weimar. The Veterans Park (Strickland Field) was ahead of its time when it was built in 1948, and was the first lighted baseball field between San Antonio and Houston. The Veterans Park remains a state-of-the-art baseball stadium, having hosted a Babe Ruth League World Series Tournament in 2005.
Weimar was the place where Norman J. Sirnic and Karen Sirnic were murdered by serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz on May 2, 1999. Their parsonage was adjacent to the train tracks.

PALM COAST, Fla. - Flagler County deputies who rushed to a report of a man armed with an "Uzi-style-assault rifle" in a Palm Coast lounge late Saturday night found the suspect had been apprehended by patrons, according to an arrest report.
The scene unfolded about 11:25 p.m. at the Europa Lounge in the European Village-area of Palm Coast. Daniel Allen Noble, 37, entered the lounge dressed like "Rambo" carrying a rife and two hunting-style knives, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said.
Noble's ultimate intentions are unclear because two patrons "were able to grab the barrel of the rifle and point it downward, but not before one or two shots were fired into the ground without hitting anyone," according Cmdr. Bob Weber.
LISTEN: 911 calls in 'Rambo' arrest (Warning: Contains graphic language)
After Palm Coast residents Vassili Mironov, 28, and Roman Dubinsechi, 23, disarmed Noble, deputies said Noble grabbed one of the hunting knives and lashed out at the two men.
"The two men wrestled with Noble, who was then taken to the ground by patrons and rendered unconscious," Weber said. The patrons who helped disarm Noble were not seriously injured.
Noble was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler where he was treated for minor injuries, then arrested on several charges, including attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is being held without bond in the Flagler County jail.

More Vossians and Neo-Calvinists Together?
Hart's response to Jim Cassidy's excellent post that addresses the consistency of Vos/Van Til/Kline has fueled some brief thoughts that I hope are helpful in clarifying some of the issues. Hart begins by stating,
I have puzzled often about the lack of support in Vossian circles for two-kingdom theology. Many Vossians I know — and I consider myself to be one — find the spirituality of the church agreeable but balk at 2k. Why 2k is distinguished from the spirituality of the church is anyone's guess, or why Geerhardus Vos' distinction between this age and the age to come do not put a kabosh on tranformationalism [sic] is another of those brain-teasers you see in the back pages of World magazine (NOT!).
If we rephrase what is said above, a few things become clear. First, Hart sees no inconsistency between 2K (in the line of himself, Van Drunen, etc.) and Vos. Second, Hart reveals that he has only two categories for "kingdom" thinking: 2K and transformationalism.
It should go without saying that parts of 2K are compatible with Vos and other parts are not, so a bit of nuance is called for when speaking on the matter of consistency/inconsistency. And what if 2K and transformationalism were absolutely not the only two choices in this matter? What if there was an option that didn't hermetically seal off one kingdom from another, yet didn't see Christian engagement outside the church as an automatic attempt at transforming culture?
Hart goes on:
Whether Jim believes 2kers disagree with this point is not entirely clear. But he should be aware of how important covenant theology is to both David VanDrunen (see his piece in the Strimple festschrift) and Mike Horton (see his dogmatics) at least in part because they studied with Kline. In other words, 2k is not opposed to Jim's point about the covenantal context of creation. I suspect that most 2kers affirm it, especially of those who studied with Kline.
Instead of engaging Cassidy's specific points, Hart opts to emphasize that 2K proponents do understand covenant theology in general (not as it particularly relates to Cassidy's point) as important, listing a couple examples of their work for support of this point. He also notes that 2K proponents studied under Kline, so the reader is left to assume that studying under Kline means that Kline's students both understand and apply his teaching correctly. However, that kind of argument doesn't work on even a mere observational level. There are plenty of students who studied under Kline who see quite a few inconsistencies between Kline and 2K.
Finally, Hart says:
First, where does the Bible require believers when interacting in the public square to engage in apologetics? When Joseph, Daniel, Jesus, and Paul engaged pagan rulers, did they first explain the covenantal context of creation before carrying out orders or answering questions?
Second, the public square may presume a covenantal context, but do we need to go to first principles for everything we do with unbelievers in our neighborhoods and communities? Do we need to explain the covenant or creation before we explain to city council the need for a new stop light at a busy intersection? Do we need to appeal to the creator of the universe before opposing a pay raise for public school teachers? Do we even need to give a covenantal account of the universe before declaring war on Iraq?
The objection is that there is no Scriptural support that requires believers to engage the covenantal antithesis in actual conversation, interaction, and operation. Hart reads Cassidy as if he is claiming that the covenantal antithesis must be stated whenever a believer interacts outside the church context, but this confuses what Cassidy and others are saying. Cassidy's (and other critics of 2k) point is to state what principles lie behind what may or may not be said in actual conversation. Nowhere does Cassidy (or Van Til) state that we must point out the epistemological principles to the unbeliever in every situation. So who is Hart objecting to in the above two paragraphs? Cassidy never claimed such requirements for believers, nor did he claim we need to explain first principles before doing mundane tasks like requesting a new stop light. No, the straw man Hart portrays exists elsewhere, not in Cassidy's post. Hart assumes an application from his post that Cassidy does not himself state. The closest one could come to such a claim is in reading the following from his post:
There is no safe territory upon which the unbeliever can stand and do right by one kingdom, but not right by another. In every kingdom he is wrong. Even his own cultural endeavors testify against him. And if we, as Christians, do not (lovingly!) point that out to him, who will?
Cassidy is not, I believe, saying we need to point out the difference in every cultural engagement. What he sought to demonstrate were the principles behind these cultural engagements that will hopefully inform conversations with unbelievers, equipping us with an awareness of the reality of who the unbeliever is and how consistent/inconsistent he or she is with his or her simultaneous drive for autonomy and knowledge of the true God.

Forgive me, but I'm not sure what you are arguing for/against. If we are seeking to correct where the unbelievers are ultimately wrong – is that not witness and/or evangelism? – and to that the Church must be engaged with the culture. But if we are to correct the culture, then to what do we encourage them to change? Just to be better or to have a more Christian society? (Has that not already been tried without success here in the UK?)
If an unbeliever is married, bringing up children and working legitimately etc., they are not 'wrong' on earth – is this not a 'good' thing? Surely unbelievers are wrong ultimately because they do not love God with all of their heart, soul, strength and mind nor their neighbour as themselves. They need the gospel, not cultural transformation.
We, too, are wrong because of the same reason and even more culpable because we know the Lord and do not love Him as we should, never mind our neighbours! We are 'right' only because of the transforming power and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the imputation of Christ and forgiveness of sins by His blood through faith.
If you do not want to transform culture (automatically), then do you just want a seat at the cultural table, so to speak, to inform of the Christian way? (There would need to be a lot of chairs for the various Christian viewpoints.)
Ah..but what do I know? After all, my Monarch for 60 years has been the 'head' of the Church of England and the Prime Minister, David Cameron, is about to select the 'second in command' the next Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primate of the Anglican communion. Separation,anybody?
It should go without saying that parts of 2K are compatible with Vos and other parts are not …
Why should this "go without saying"? I don't know of any 2Kers who think that parts of 2K are incompatible with Vos. It would be helpful if you would explain this.
Cassidy is not, I believe, saying we need to point out the difference in every cultural engagement. What he sought to demonstrate were the principles behind these cultural engagements that will hopefully inform conversations with unbelievers …
It's not clear that 2Kers would disagree with Cassidy about these principles.
I think that one's internal manifestation of their Christianity can justify why they do what they do, and often seeps out into how they do it too.
In the other post you mentioned these vocations:
dentistry: why do we need healthy teeth, why relieve pain, how do I help patients enjoy food?
computer repair: what is it being repaired from, why does order work, how is the computer used?
athletics: why is it entertaining for image-bearers to be in competition under a law? What metaphor is this?
bridge engineering: why do we subdue the earth?
the office of mayor: what is the Biblical role of the government, where is there liberty?
pool cleaner: what distinguishes the clean from the unclean? what is this a metaphor for?

The newlywed lovebirds give their fans a quick peek at their blossoming relationship, which they started a year ago.
Nikki Reed and her singer hubby Paul McDonald get lovey dovey in a music video supporting their love-lullaby duet "Now That I've Found You". They enjoy a warm sunny day in what looks like a cornfield, gazing lovingly at each other while hugging and holding hands.
The music video was directed by Whitney Dean and Nikki. The Rosalie Hale on "Twilight Saga" movie series initially wanted to shoot a June Carter/Johnny Cash-esque clip, but she later opted for a simple and sweet story that tells "the story of two people."
"I wanted it to ... have it be more about the atmosphere," she explained. "I don't know if you notice, but there's a very specific choice in there with cuts and specific shots that are partial and you can only see parts of our mouths and hands. I don't want to dwell on the shots of us for too long."
The song was recorded shortly after they tied the knot last year. "When we were on the way back from France, this song kind of happened on the plane," Paul recalled. Nikki added, "Basically, what Paul and I are learning about each other, which is so awesome, is I'm a completer. I like to complete things and Paul likes to start things. It's really great."

"I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers. Build a great, big, large fence -- 50 or 100 mile long -- put all the lesbians in there, drop some food down. Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out. And you know what, in a few years, they'll die out." -- Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in North Carolina.

Darren Lockyer floated around the Broncos training barbecue like he was still limbering up for his marathon procession into retirement. He's leaner than his playing weight but those bandy legs look fit enough to carry him through 80 minutes of NRL football in a snap.
He greeted some fans, posed for photos, shot the breeze with reporters and joked with players and staff. If you'd blinked and missed the entire 2011 season, you'd be forgiven for thinking he'd never departed the scene.
Except he has. And instead of bumbling around wondering how they are going to fill in the Immortal-sized hole left in their backline, up to this point Brisbane are handling his departure with more poise than anyone had dare suggest.
With the the raw but improving Corey Norman doing an admirable job lumping around a number six jumper laden with expectation, the Broncos have shaken off any real sign of Lockyer-lag by winning three out of four games to start the season.
They began the torture for the Eels with victory in round one, before dropping the derby against the Cowboys in the final minutes as Matt Bowen swept through their line to score under the posts in the twilight of the second half.
That glaring defensive error under pressure set Brisbane's detractors into motion. The theory was refloated that without the control and experience of Lockyer, the Broncos were no longer a top eight side.
A tough win over Newcastle and a comeback against an improving and physical Rabbitohs side in Perth proved to be an impressive retort.
Without Lockyer, Brisbane desperately needed to forge their own identity early in the season or risk falling into the trap of believing that their mojo retired with their old skipper.
The comeback from 12-0 against Souths, in particular, showed coach Anthony Griffin that his side had ceased pining for their former captain and were on the way to becoming a force in their own right.
"We haven't had a Locky question for a while," Griffin smiled as the matter was raised at the post-training press conference.
"(But) it's been good, particularly last week. We got ourselves into trouble and no-one would have given us a chance after 20 minutes. But we dug ourselves out of trouble, defensively more than anything.
"After the 15th minute, Souths didn't score a point and we found a way to win with the ball. Like a lot of teams, we're not in the right rhythm with the ball yet.
"They're a strong group of guys when they want to be, just like any team. The key for us is to be consistent."
The Broncos host St George Illawarra at Suncorp Stadium tonight, a side Lockyer would bury in last year's finals when his final, fitting touch of a rugby league ball was the striking a winning field goal.
He was the saviour for the Broncos on that occasion but "he can't be this week", Griffin dryly pointed out.
The new halves pairing of Peter Wallace, who has ramped up his involvement, and Norman has been more than serviceable so far but face a stiffer challenge in the experienced pairing of Ben Hornby and Jamie Soward.
Norman is growing in confidence with every match, correcting some of his earlier hesitations with ball in hand and finding his place in a team has enough star power to ensure his burden remains bearable.
Even so, Griffin believes this week will provide Norman's biggest test in the NRL and he will need to match his opposite number if the Broncos are to continue their march.
"He's going all right. He's got a big job. Their halves, Hornby and Soward, have won grand finals together," Griffin said.
"It's no disrespect to the people we've played in the past – we played Newcastle without Gidley and last week we played Souths, who are still getting into their own rhythm – but we're playing a really seasoned side that's been relatively unchanged for a couple of years."
Dale Copley will take the place of the injured Jharal Yow Yeh on the Brisbane wing, while the Griffin has warned his side to be wary of the Dragons front-row rotation of Trent Merrin, Michael Weyman and Country Origin representative Dan Hunt.

Fujitsu Computer Systems is fortifying two models in its notebook line by offering the option of solid state drives for rugged applications like health care and aviation, the company said Monday.
Fujitsu is offering flash memory on its LifeBook P1610 and B6210 models, both touchscreen, ultra-portable notebooks. It will continue to sell them with their current design of hard disk drives. The company began offering flash memory on some of its P-series and Q-series notebooks in Japan two months ago, but this is the first time the feature will reach North America.
Customers will have to pay more for NAND flash memory than traditional spinning magnetic drives, but they will gain benefits like reduced power consumption, lower latency with data traffic, faster boot times, and reduced noise, heat and weight, said Paul Moore, Fujitsu's senior director of mobile product marketing.
Although flash memory is popular on handheld devices like smartphones and MP3 music players, it has generally been viewed as too expensive for mass-market notebooks. But in recent months, flash prices have been falling and storage capacity rising so fast that several vendors are now considering it for new applications.
Last week Apple declined to comment on rumors that it would soon offer a flash-based "subnotebook." And Intel plans to embed flash storage on motherboards as part of the next-generation Centrino notebook platform it will launch in the second half of 2007.
Flash prices will continue to drop sharply over the coming year, following the model of USB-compatible memory sticks, Moore said. Choosing the 16GB flash drive option adds $700 to the price of notebook, and choosing the 32GB flash drive adds $1,200. But that disparity won't last long.
"Once they get the dies made and start cranking them out, it's like printing stamps. It's just supply and demand. Today it would be cheaper to buy an SL Mercedes than a 200GB solid state drive," Moore said. "Give it a couple years, and everybody's going to be walking around with these. Then your biggest concern is going to be breaking your display."
Another drawback to flash memory is its limited capacity. Fujitsu is offering a choice of 16GB or 32GB flash drives, compared to the range of 30GB to 80GB it sells in hard drive models. But Moore said customers in finance or medicine can live with that restriction because a flash drive will preserve their data if they drop the notebook, and IT administrators often boost security by storing valuable files on a networked server instead of portable notebook.
Fujitsu did not list prices, since it is selling the notebooks only on a project basis as customers ask for them. The LifeBook P1610 weighs 2.2 pounds, has an 8.9-inch screen, and uses a 1.2GHz Intel Core Solo U1400 processor to run Windows Vista Business, XP Professional or XP Tablet PC Edition. The B6210 weighs 3.2 pounds, has a 12.1-inch screen, and uses the same chip to run Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or XP Professional.

The Daughter Also Rises is a good Simpsons episode,with some funny
scenes and a good story,as well as side story.It also had some great
guest roles from Michael Cera,Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage.I found the
main story to be a little weak,but I did enjoy the Mythcrackers side
story a lot more,and it probably could have done well as a main
story.Michael Ceras role wasn't given any comedy,or even much of a
personality,they just made him Lisa's love interest,which they should
have given more humor and personality to.This is the 499th episode of
the series,and congratulations to The Simpsons cast and crew for making
it this far,the couch gag where Moe congratulates the family on there
500th episode,only finding out its the 499th episode,was very funny.
Lisa meets a boy called Nick (Michael Cera) at a restaurant and instantly falls for him,leaving Marge feeling like her daughter is drifting away from her.Meanwhile,Bart and Milhouse get into a show called MythCrackers,and decide to crack some school myths.

Libyan Turmoil Puts Focus On Arctic Oil: Greenland
Date: 24-Feb-11
Country: CANADA
Author: David Ljunggren
Unrest in the Middle East means the potential oil riches in Arctic areas like Greenland are more important than ever, the island's premier said on Wednesday, criticizing environmental groups that want to hamper exploration.
Greenland, which enjoys self-rule as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has issued 20 licenses for oil and gas exploration in Baffin Bay on its West coast.
Some estimates put Greenland's offshore oil reserves at 20 billion barrels.
"There is a very strong focus on the Arctic ... especially nowadays because of the richness of natural resources. The very last days' developments in the Middle East of course put more (emphasis) on this focus," said Greenland Premier Kuupik Kleist, referring to instability in Libya.
"We are of course influenced and also highly affected by what's happening on world markets," he told an Ottawa conference on the Arctic.
Speaking separately, Greenland's industry and mineral resources minister, Ove Karl Berthelsen, said exploration licenses for blocks in the Greenland Sea to the east would be auctioned in 2012 and 2013.
Firms with licenses include U.S.-based ConocoPhillips and Exxon, Canada's Encana, Norway's Statoil, France's GDF Suez, Britain's Cairn Energy, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Denmark's Maersk and DONG Energy, and Greenland's national oil company Nunaoil.
Although environmental groups say the Baffin Bay exploration blocks are particularly vulnerable to oil spills and should be kept off limits, Kleist made it clear there is no turning back.
"If Greenland should stay away from exploiting its mineral resources, some other place on Earth will do it. That's for sure," he later told reporters.
Greenland, dependent on the fishing industry and funding from Denmark, says it needs the money to cope with pressing social needs.
"For Greenland, the status quo is not an option. We are faced with big huge challenges in all areas -- social, educational, health, infrastructure," said Kleist.
The Greenland government says while there are risks to offshore drilling, modern technology mean the dangers are much lower than in the past.
Last year, Greenpeace protesters boarded a drilling rig operated by Cairn Energy to highlight what they said were the dangers of a spill in one of the world's most remote regions.
"You see environmental groups coming now to the Arctic area and trying to hinder activities conducted by indigenous governments... Why didn't they do that like 100 years ago, 50 years ago or even just 15 years ago?" said Kleist.
"I think Greenpeace has a lot of work to do in other places in the world. Greenland is not the most dangerous place."

What about the eight startup competitions or contests in town? Or the six incubators and co-working spaces?
Did you know the state has a fund for companies hiring high-tech jobs? Or that it matches the federal government's SBIR and STTR grant awards?
There's also a tax credit for companies developing interactive digital media.
All these startup and small business resources and more are listed in a new one-stop document created by the city of Raleigh and released online this week. The document is regional in nature, including support organizations and efforts throughout the Triangle.
Raleigh's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Manager Derrick Minor told me the document is part of his office's ongoing attempt to support small and startup businesses in town. Earlier this month, a team from the office and some Raleigh entrepreneurs attended the South by Southwest conference in Austin and rented a table during the conference's trade show. Their primary goal was talent attraction, to meet the needs of companies forming and growing here.
The resource guide aids the city's efforts by answering the most commonly-asked questions of the city. Minor and his team are then available for follow-up questions, introductions and other needs.
A similar guide was created years ago by the Raleigh chamber of Commerce, but this one is up-to-date and with resources for anyone starting a company, from a new hair salon to a high-tech startup.
"We're trying to create clear pathways for anyone interested in starting a company in Raleigh or even anyone that moves to the city and has an interest in these sorts of things," Minor says.
The guide is comprehensive, and will be a help to this reporter. Check it out!

VICKSBURG — Third-term Warren County Circuit Clerk Shelly Ashley-Palmertree is court shopping in two counties and should pay the state's legal fees in a dispute over her salary and subcontractor payments, Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering says.
The Vicksburg Post reports an assistant attorney general filed papers in Hinds County Chancery Court, on behalf of Pickering.
Ashley-Palmertree and her attorneys "have continually 'shopped' from Warren County Circuit Court to the Hinds County Chancery Court," Special Assistant Attorney General Melissa C. Patterson says in the 15-page document. It asks that the clerk pay the state's legal fees for having to defend itself in circuit court. It also asks Hinds County Chancery Judge Dewayne Thomas to lift an injunction that said Warren County erred in March when supervisors agreed to hold back Ashley-Palmertree's salary.
In March, Ashley-Palmertree sued Warren County and Pickering in Hinds Chancery Court, seeking relief from demands that she repay $661,752 to cover what auditors say are payments from 2006 to 2011 exceeding the $90,000 salary cap for circuit clerks, and improper subcontractor fees paid to her father and predecessor in office, Larry Ashley.
Pickering and Warren County have countersued, arguing the noted debts must be repaid. Issues with accounting procedures in the clerk's office have been noted on state audits dating back a decade. Ashley-Palmertree also faces criminal counts in a file handed over to and expected to be handled by the attorney general's office. Details have yet to surface.
Trial dates in Thomas' court are set for three successive Mondays starting July 29.
Ashley-Palmertree was advised in Warren County Circuit Court last week to ask county supervisors today for more time to file a new bond that can insure her for the duration of her term in office. Ashley-Palmertree has applied for a new bond, but it's unlikely to be finalized until July 15, her lawyers have said. County officials have indicated they aren't convinced the potential new insurer is aware of the legal issues with the previous bond, despite confirmations of a previous claim on a bond and associated legal action. In Patterson's motion, that concern is restated.
In June, Warren County added $90,953 to amounts demanded from the clerk. It reflects payments beyond the salary cap noted on the office's annual financial report for 2012, a year not currently included in the civil suit.

Over 450 clients in chat today! What an awesome community of traders we're building 1 winner at a time. I believe we're the biggest paid or free stock chat on all of Wall Street and are starting to attract some high profile names to go along with plenty of beginners. High profile experienced trader or beginner, of course you know we welcome both and there's something for everyone.
Head moderator Luke's $30,000+ win on QCOR options was a monster. Look at this snapshot of what these clients reported today.
[03:48 pm] Javier de Leon: SALES: Shares ZNGA +$800. OPTIONS: BBBY put -$200. GE +$250. WYNN +$2,500. QCOR in 2.50 out 4.10 +$16,000. TOTAL: $19,350. Tks a lot JB, LUKE and all the room.
[03:54 pm] Gary Mccartney: WYNN +$500, THLD +$150, VRNG -$495, FDX +$285, QCOR +$6700, GRPN +$525, $7,665 best day thank you Jason and Luke!!
I'm trying hard to run the most professional well rounded service for $1,200 a year on the Internet. While everyone's account size is different, the two testimonials above illustrate how my annual service fee can be covered in as little as 1 day. Now I've been sleeping on something for a while and come to my decision.
I've decided to roll Bond Large Caps into the swing trading newsletter putting Bond Day Trades, Bond Swing Trades and Bond Large caps all under one roof for $297 / quarter. I'll call Bond Large Caps 'Bond Notes' which will be 2 week to 2 month holds on mid to large caps using the same strategy I do on the swing trades. Recently I bought and alerted FB in the $18's for over 15% profit, MCP for 25%. Bond Large Caps is 7/7 but I'm going to be honest with you… I don't have the time to market it apart from my core swing trade service… I'm just spreading myself too thin and DO NOT want my core swing trade service to suffer. So instead, you get more for less. If I don't have to market Bond Large Caps, all I need to do is inform you of when I'm taking a new Large Cap 2 week – 2 month position and you can decide what you want to do with it from there. Like I said, I'm 7/7 since inception so it's working. Add in Luke covering options and honestly, this is quite possibly one of the most well rounded services on Wall Street – yes I'm biased but I work hard to deliver and this move should benefit our family of traders, hard not to be excited. Not only does it free up my time but it gives clients more for less. Bottom line is this, if you make money I make money and to me, creating a community of winning traders is what I left public schools to do and sharpening my saw is what I'm doing tonight.
Here's two chart illustrating real trades I did with Bond Large Caps recently that you will now see as a part of your swing trading subscription – keep in mind not 1 Bond Large Cap was a loser from inception or 7/7.
How many analysts messed up Facebook? This was my only buy and it's still going.
I have 10 video lessons as a part of Bond Swing Trades – this pattern is video lesson #1 and it's so simply you'll be shocked!
You know I love trading the rare earth plays. Don't fear higher prices, 25% is always 25%!
I have 10 video lessons as a part of Bond Swing Trades – this pattern is video lesson #2 and while it's slightly harder to get right than the chart pattern in video lesson #1, it's still so simply you'll be shocked!
When I left teaching in NYS public schools about 18 months to teach on Wall Street my core belief was outwork the competition and provide the best service on Wall Street. I assess my service daily and evaluate it quarterly. Tonight's shift is a result of months worth of assessment and a detailed evaluation with my mentor. What your reading here is the outcome of that hard work and in this situation, I'm excited that it benefits everyone. With that said, not running Bond Large Caps as an individual service frees up my schedule so I can do some day trading again, one of my favorite hobbies in chat during the day.
Laser focused, I'm on a mission to be the best and want to thank you for putting your trust in my decisions. You'll always get my best, that I promise you. Finally… you might be wondering if I ever lose and the answer is YES! I win and I lose but I win more than I lose and that my friend, that is what I can teach you.
I just finished up the open trade analysis for Thursday and today's scoop of GRPN is sure looking good, plus I posted Wednesday's chat logs. My watch list will be out a bit later but I needed to finalize this migration of premium services tonight.

You can't beat your competitors by ignoring them. Fighting is the best way to beat them in their online marketing and by fighting, we don't mean physically, we mean strategically. You have to know them in order to fight them effectively and so the best way to do that is to monitor their very actions online. You can simply observe the difference between your strategies and theirs, if they're excelling in an area that you're struggling in. You don't even have to let them know you're looking.
- Monitoring your competitors can help you to create a PR relationships and get their coverage so that you will be aware of the journalists that are worth getting acquainted with. That way, you'll know the outlets that want to write about your company and you'll be more quickly able to find the correct person to get into contact with.
- You'll be better able to understand their content marketing strategy and see how exactly they're using their content. You'll be able to tell which methods are working for them and which aren't and then you'll be able to know which methods to use for your business and which to avoid.
- Finding their backlinks with SEO sleuthing tools and setting up an alert that can help you to monitor your competitor's website will help to make you aware of the people who are linking them. You'll then know which of the blog posts those content creators find intriguing and you'll have a model to work with, to help you create content that will get you that same sort of attention.
- You can take advantage of the unhappy customers that your competitors have gotten. Once you identify them, you can then lure them into getting comfortable enough with you so that they will buy from you.
- Another thing you can do is collect important product feedback from your competitors' website and other platforms. They will definitely show when they're unhappy and what they are unhappy with and if you think that you have something of a similar nature, which will bring about this negative feedback, you can make changes to it right then and there.
We can help make a difference for your business and help you grow your customer base with marketing, website design and social media management!

tri-amping and active xover - TOTAL SEPARATES?
So I'm wanting to go to an active xover, mostly to play around with and give me more flexibility. I'm talking about something like the behringer dcx2496 programmable crossover, EQ, etc. So I got to thinking about the speakers.
Wouldn't the best possible design here be to put each drive in its own "box" best for that particular drive (woofer, mid)? Then possibly use one of those "new" external "mega" standalone tweeters with their own external connections already built on? (I know I've seen these in Voice Coil or somewhere).
In that case you could program the active xover to perfectly between drivers which were all in their "perfect" cases. Am I missing something here, or wouldn't this be the best possible configuration?
PS- I'd like to keep the amp discussion out of it, let's assume I'm using high-end monobloks (actually, I'm thinking more of something like lm3875 or Tripath chip-based as watts per channel in this config should IMO not need to be very high, 100W tops), but again, let's keep the amp part out.
Am I dreaming here, or would this not only be a fairly easy construction, but also allow incredible flexibility (could place each section of frequency range in just the right position/direction)?

I've been playing with active crossover(DCX2496/PC) and DIY speakers that were designed with a spirit towards modular design. I can swap mid's and tweeters in and out fairly easily because they are in separate boxes.
So far, the benefits of using active crossover are outweighed by the extreme expense of the crossover and additional amplifiers.
In hindsight, I am thinking I should have ditched the active crossover in favor of passive. This allows me to use a single amp, but the best amp I can afford rather than many smaller and cheaper amps.
I am starting to see that even expensive poly/teflon caps that you might be tempted to use in your passive speaker level crossover are still cheap compared to buying 2 or 4 more amps.

I have come to the opposite conclusion. I bought two less expensive amps, that essentially equaled the price of the high end one I was considering, and a dBx Driverack PA crossover. I will probably step up and add a third amp soon. The less expensive amps are still quite nice, I don't feel I sacrificed that much in the way of amp quality. I believe that the final system performance and flexibility is much better then what I would have achieved with a single high end amp and passive crossovers. In the future I can design and build two or three way speaker systems and dial in the best crossover performance very quickly and make changes to account for different rooms, styles of music, or even individual recordings. I can try differnt crossover settings without soldering.

Your idea sounds like it could look like the Focal/JMlab Utopia line. I like the look.
You could save some expense and building time by making your baffles removable, and just replace the baffle when you change drivers. Make the largest box needed by the drivers you are considering and then fill with solids as needed - bricks, wood blocks, etc. as needed.
Digital crossovers sound like a good solution, but for now I am using analog active crossovers. How close you can get to perfect depends on the crossover and its processing power as well as your ability to measure performance.
I'm with MJK - I am more likely to keep at it and get the crossover really right when it doesn't cost a small fortune to tune it. I can stuff an active crossover with high quality polypropylene caps (or even polystyrene) for less than the cost of a single "audiophile" cap. Changes usually amount to just changing resistors.
I have a pair of Pass/Thagard A75s, a 4 channel Leach and a Hafler DH-500 in my stable. Usually I have the A75s in the main system with the Hafler covering the subs. Now that I have the amps it is easy to justify active systems. I wouldn't go back, except systems for friends without the budget to buy everything.

How are you controlling the volume?
An active crossover with opamps and a single preamp could work.
Unfortunately, in my situation I am doing the crossover with either a DCX2496 or PC. In those cases, I need to be able to control volume on 6 or 8 line level channels.
It might be possible for me to control volume entirely in the digital domain. If someone knows of a VST plugin that will take 16-bit audio and simply shift it into 24-bits I'd be interested. Then I could control volume in the digital world. The downside would be that I am stealing the unused resolution from my DAC's for volume control. I do have a few SACD/DVD Audio disks that I'd actually be losing resolution with.
Im not sure this is possible. It seems that ASIO on a PC assumes that the sound card's inputs and outputs are all running the same sample rate and bit depth.
BobEllis, have you compared the A75's to any of the singleended Pass Alephs? I have a Threshold T200 and still like it better than the Aleph30.

I haven't built any of the Aleph series yet - still on my to do list. I like the A75s better than the Leach bu a small margin. Low level detail is better.
As for volume control you could use a relay based stepped attenuator, like the Twisted Pear guys make or for a remote control version look up dantimax.

I use a preamp. The two amps are identical. The dBx unit has a 6 or 12 dB (I don't remember which off the top of my head) boost or attenuation on each crossover. That pretty much allows me to level match and tune to my hearts content.

I'm on the active train also. I use a HTPC with kxdrivers to send SPDIF optical out to three separate DAC's then on to three separate amps.
I think it was worth every penny and I will never go back to using passive XO's in my main setup.
After playing with what is basically an on-the-fly infinitely variable crossover; I have noticed how even very small changes in the XO point can dramatically effect the sound. Building passive XO's can be a "best guess" type of scenario at times and It takes way too much effort and tweaking to get the same type of precision you can get with an active setup.
I do my volume control with a simple 6 gang 10k ALPS motor pot and an IR control board.

I dont want to spoil it for you, but in my experience from working in sound reinfrorcement field, the Driverack PA and the DCX2496 are unatural sounding. Compared head to head with BSS and XTA its a revelation of how much they lag behind near natural.
Because both BSS and XTA are many times more expensive I would much rather go passive xo and bi or tri amping. Much better than so low grade digital as Driverack PA or Beringher.

In your work with sound reinforcement systems, are you working with high end home audio speakers or workhorse professional PA types of speakers? I don't disagree that you can get better then these two "budget" components, but I am not convinced yet that they are limiting in a home audio set-up.
With my Lowther two way OB system, I have heard the same driver as a single full range speaker with a passive BSC circuit in my ML TL enclosure. When I compare the sound of this full range speaker system with the two way OB I don't hear a significant change in the characteristics of the Lowther's sound. What the dBx allows is the addition of a strong bass presence in the overall presentation by going with an active two way.

The Battle-Damaged Power Armor is a power armor set in Space Marine multiplayer. It is unlocked mostly by getting killed in different ways.
Most Space Marines keep their armor in gleaming condition, taking time to practice maintenance rites in the field and relying on the artificers of the chapter keeps. Some veterans, however, just as lovingly preserve some evidence of damage – each scar acting as a memento of a past victory.
Note: using the Final Vengeance perk (Assault/Raptor) is the easiest way to unlock this armor set.
- Strike from Beyond: Kill an enemy after you have died (in any Multiplayer game) (+100 XP)
- Victory over Death: Kill a total of 3 enemies after you have died (in any Multiplayer game) (Vambraces, Greaves and +300 XP)
- Sacrifice for the Cause: Get killed 3 times while capturing a point in Seize Ground (Breast Plate and +300 XP)
- No Surrender. No Retreat.: Get killed 50 times by explosives (Shoulder Pads and +250 XP)
- Scarred: Get killed 50 times by an enemy using melee weapons (Helmet and +250 XP)
- Fragged: Get killed 1000 times during any game mode (+2000 XP)

Softball Triumphs Over Bulldogs; Falls to Bears
The Appalachian State University softball team earned a split on the second day of the Blues City Classic. They defeated Alabama A&M, 11-2 win; they lost to Missouri State, 6-0.
Game One: App State 11, Alabama A&M 2
The Mountaineers got off to a fast start with a of singles and two stolen bases from Dani Heichen (Pembroke Pines, Fla./Pembroke Pines Charter) and Cynthia Gomez (Oxnard, Calif./Pacifica). With Heichen on third and Gomez on second, Heichen scored on a groundout by Lindsay Loudermilk (Bluff City, Tenn./Sullivan East) to take an early 1-0 lead. Alex Sohl (Paducah, Ky./Lone Oak) placed a single perfectly through the right side of the infield to score Gomez from third to extend the inning and the lead to 2-0. After a passed ball, Cara Parker (Lake Park, Ga./Lowndes) and Caroline Rogers (Suwanee, Ga./North Gwinnett) produced back-to-back run-scoring triples into the left field corner followed by Whitney Johnsons (Dunn, N.C./NC School of Science and Math) first hit and RBI of the season to give the Apps a 5-0 lead in the top half of the first.
Johnson had a two-run triple in the third that gave ASU an 8-2 lead. Parker , who got on base three times, reached on a three-base error. She later scored on an RBI single by Rogers for a 9-2 lead.
Meaghen Gray would settle in for the top of fourth and put down the Mountaineers in order. Laws would replicate Gray in the bottom half and ended the inning on her third strikeout of the game getting left side to extend the Appalachian lead to 9-2. Laws would put down the Bulldogs in order to end the fifth inning.
The Apps closed out their assault with a pair of runs in th top of the sixth. Caroline Chambers (Kings Mountain, N.C./Kings Mountain) had an RBI double---her first hit and RBI for the season. Katie Mathewson (Hickory, N.C./Hickory) followed with her first RBI single of the year for an 11-2 lead.
Sydney Laws, a true freshman went six innings allowing just three hits and no earned runs with three strikeouts. Rogers led the team with three hits going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs. Heichen and Parker both had two hits and scored two and three runs, respectively. Johnson also had two hits going 2-for-3 with three RBIs. Chambers, Loudermilk, Mathewson, Sohl and Parker all tallied one RBI each in the triumph.
Game Two: Missouri State 6, App State 0
In game two, Missouri State jumped on starting pitcher Shivaun Landeros (Sparks, Nev./Edward C. Reed) for three runs in the top of the first.. And it was all downhill from there for the Mountaineers.
Despite the loss, Landeros went the distance, allowing seven hits and five earned runs with seven strikeouts.
The Mountaineers play Evansville to close out the tournament Sunday at 10 a.m.
Women's Tennis Falls at Coastal Carolina
Appalachian State University women's tennis dropped its second match of the weekend in a 6-1 loss at Coastal Carolina on Saturday at the Billy Nichols Tennis Center.
The Mountaineers (1-4) were unable to overcome the strong play of the Chanticleers (8-1), picking up just one win on the day.
Gabrielle Wreder was Appalachian's lone point-scorer as she snagged a 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 4 singles as Coastal won the doubles point and all remaining five singles matches.
Clare Cox was able to send her match at No. 1 into a decisive third set, but ultimately fell by a score of 6-5, 3-6, 10-6 while Jessica Thaggard did the same at No. 5 (6-3, 2-6, 10-5).
Mackenzie LaSure dropped her match at No. 2 (6-4, 6-5) while Brianna Armellino lost at NO. 3 (6-3, 6-0) and Sarah King fell at No. 6 (6-1, 6-0)
Coastal Carolina swept doubles play with 8-2, 8-5 and 8-4 wins at No. 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The Mountaineers will wrap up their three-match road trip when they take on Presbyterian at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Why is turmeric contraindicated for patients with common bile duct obstruction?
The Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Centre website states that turmeric is contraindicated for patients with common bile duct obstruction. Does anyone know why? (I do know that if the obstruction continues then I will turn a lovely shade of turmeric/yellow.) Thanks.
It can cause contractions in the gall bladder, further obstructing the flow. Curcumin (the yellow/orange stuff), an extract of turmeric, can also cause this.
The liver produces bile, the gall bladder stores and releases it as needed. Bile duct obstruction interferes with this process, as so do these contractions.
what is the cause of both a distended common bile duct and pancreatic duct?
Is it possibly due to the removal of the gall bladder? Could that effect it?
Common bile duct and pancreatic duct join and open as common in 2nd part of duodenum at ampulla of vator.
Any pathology at ampulla will cause CBD and pancreatic duct dilation.
Needs GI specialist advise for abd.USG,UGI Endoscopy and ERCP to decide.
What does having a moderatley distended gallbladder without stones and a common bile duct measuring 7mm mean?
it means that your gallbaldder is either streched out of palce or swollen out of place... but that you have no stones and your CBD is 7mm in diamater which is a normal but on the larger end in size . If your DR sent you for an ultrasound because of RUQ pain they would look for stones and look at size and orientation of biliary organs. All that tells me without other info is that they rulled out stones (if your haveing pain it isnt beacause of stones.)
What is mild ectasia of common bile duct?
What are the reasons for stone in Common Bile Duct ?
After surgery of Gall Bladder.
This is a gallstone - even after having your gallbladder taken out it is possible to still have a stone left behind in the bile duct or for a stone to form in the duct later. Happens because the make-up of your bile (liquid produced by liver to help dissolve fats) is prone to forming stones. Some risk factors include being overweight, fair skinned, fertile/pregnant, female and aged over 40, but other people get them too. A stone in the duct can cause jaundice and inflamed pancreas, so it may need to be removed. HTH
Who was the football player that died of Common bile duct cancer?
Pro Football Hall of Famer, Walter Payton, died November 1, 1999 from bile duct cancer.
Blocked common bile duct and jaundice question.
I had an ERCP done on July 23rd to remove a gallstone from my common bile duct. I was very jaundiced at the time. It's now almost 3 weeks later and I've noticed that my eyes still seem to have a bit of a pale yellow colour to them. Certainly not as noticeable as it was, but definitely still there. How long should it take for the jaundice to disappear completely? I would have thought it would be gone by now, but I really don't know.
It depends on how severely jaundiced you were at the onset of your illness,like how many months. Your best advice is to stay outdoors in sunlight, to make the jaundice go away faster.Most babies need 6- 8 hours of sunlight exposure (being in a bright window) for 3 to 6 weeks.
what is the measurement of common bile duct in a 60 year old patient?
The mean diameter of the normal common duct was 4.1 mm. A common duct greater than 7 mm (circumfrence = 21.98 mm) in diameter can be seen in (a) nonjaundiced patients with gallstones and/or pancreatitis, or (b) jaundiced patients with common duct obstruction by stone or tumor. A common duct greater than 11 mm (circumfrence 34.54mm) in diameter is strongly suggestive of obstruction by stone or tumor.

Four Female Olympic Hopefuls
With the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver just a little over four months out, Nike brought a group of journalists last week to the gleaming Canadian city to check out their female athletes' intensive training as they prep for possible Olympic stardom.
In addition to presentations on apparel and shoe launches, journalists at the Women's Training Summit got coveted one-on-one time with eight amazing estrogen-powered athletes. Set in the Vancouver Olympic Center/Vancouver Paralympic Center and the brand-new, sustainable-minded Oval Center, we already have Olympic fever.
Compared to its competitors, Nike's history supporting female athletes is unparalleled as far as breadth and influence. It all goes back to 1984, when Nike sponsored Joan Benoit Samuelson in the first women's marathon race of the Olympics passed the finish line with a gold medal.
Nike's umbrella covers the pro down to the college level, where the number of girls it supports can run to 27,000 female athletes in just one season.
The athletes at the conference represented a cross-section of winter sports, from skeleton to curling, and each of them has an incredible biography of accomplishments, some of which they garnered even in the face of personal hardships. We hear from 17-year-old pairs figure skater Keuna McLaughlin, Olympic gold medalist skier Julia Mancuso, two-time Olympic bronze medalist speed skater Jennifer Rodriguez and two-time World Cup skeleton race winner Katie Uhlaender.

Dear Nate,
I like to begin letters
with weather. Today:
weird. Breathing was
kind of a chore in
this faintly soggy
air, nothing I'm sure like
what you get down
south but crummy enough
for me. Colorless
sun etc. The sky all
diffuse and almost without
any texture. Shirt sticking
a little to my skin, I
went into the afternoon
with pointless coffee
and nursing old gripes. Now,
today is yesterday, and
the new today is better,
weather-wise. With
baguette, cheddar, glass
of water I'm happy. Out
my window the never-to-be-
identified tree shakes
its tiny red flowers
in the wind. I should be
working but this is
more funner. Bishop in
a letter somwehre says
writers like to write
letters because it gives
the feeling of working
without the actual work.
Or something like that.
Anyway amen. I grow
dull. Thank you for the
generous response to
the press. I like
to think we're all in it
together, and so, clearly,
do you, which is a comfort
and a quickening. Speaking
of in it, I'll be in
Monday for 24 hours tomorrow
which reminds me I love
those little Mondays on
The Duplications and am
wondering when the chapbook
comes out or if it (Monday,
Monday I mean) has already.
Let a brother know, yeah?
You're good. And I hope
you're well. The air here
just got so still.

" Manufacturer: 3View "
I suppose in a few years' time we're going to look back on the concept of recording TV programmes off the air for later watching as somewhat quaint - VCRs are already 'out', even Sky+ boxes and the like will look antediluvian. After all, why would you bother to store copies of programmes for yourself when they're all available via the web in any order you like?
OK, those days aren't quite here yet, and a digital hard-disk recorder like Sky+ or one of its Freeview, Virgin and Freesat equivalents is about the best you'll get. Yes, we've also got iPlayer, YouTube and the like, but the picture quality still doesn't come up to scratch in my view, especially compared with Hi-Definition TV.
This is now the sixth Freeview Personal Video Recorder (PVR) I've written about, and for various reasons it relates to the third that I've still got!
I won't be rash and say 'owning a PVR has completely changed the way I watch TV', but I certainly find it an odd concept when watching a commercial channel live, that I have to endure the adverts, but this just brings home to me how much of my viewing is 'time-shifted!
This is the heading from 3View's web page. If I had one criticism, it's to add "and waiting and waiting and waiting"!
Hi-definition terrestrial TV launched with a whimper before Christmas 2009 to some areas, mainly the North West of England. It was as well to have kept quiet about it as hardware to watch it barely existed, and when it did, it was only a set-top box for viewing the stuff, not recording it. Then along comes an upstart (or should that be 'start-up'?) British company which launched the 3view.com PVR, so of course I just HAD to get interested. So interested in fact that having seen various YouTube demos and read around the subject, even becoming a Facebook friend (how sad is that?), I put my name down as an 'early adopter' in May 2010 to get the discount and extended warranty almost, as it were, unseen.
The 3view PVR could be classed as a hybrid but before you start looking for the electric motor and petrol engine, let's call it a bridge between where we are now, recording programmes off the air, watching them and erasing them, and the future, where we use the web and possibly our own home network to pick and choose our viewing and listening schedule in a totally video-on-demand environment.
Here's What It Now Does Straight From the Box - I write this as one of the first retail customers to take delivery of one, following releases to beta-testers and to trade magazines for evaluation.
1. It has twin Hi-Definition Freeview tuners. These are currently limited to viewing BBC HD, ITV1 HD and C4 HD, but there are plans for more, from C5 and the BBC have floated an entire BBC 1 HD to compliment the existing BBC HD 'composite showcase', which ironically I rather like as it's a good place to find a non-stop selection of HD material, unlike ITV 1 HD, which just transmits all programmes, HD or not. It goes without saying that it also picks up all the usual standard definition and radio channels we expect from Freeview.
2. Web access, primarily intended for an Ethernet wired* connection, allows ordinary web-surfing to be carried out from your arm chair on your big screen. It accepts a normal PC USB keyboard/mouse combination to speed up the typing process. (* Wi-fi is possible with a range of dongles limited to Netgear and Linksys but 3View are keen to promote wired access for its consistency)
3. Through its own '3View Portal' menu item, access to YouTube works straightaway, assuming you've got your web connection set up. Picture quality can be as good as standard TV but is limited by the source, some clips seemingly being shot on the video facility of a mobile phone.
4. Now that agreements are in place, access to BBC iPlayer has become a reality. 3View's long term aim is to incorporate this into the Electronic Programme Guide so that you'll be able to 'scroll backwards' past today's programmes to ones you've missed and watch them instead. BBC iPlayer now works, with stunning results almost jerk-free even in HD. Do bear in mind you need a nice stable, and preferably faster than 2mb broadband connection
5. It also acts as a media server, and as long as you have your PC's file sharing turned on, you can access music, photo and video sources held elsewhere on your home network. You can also bring your files to it, as a second USB port (after plugging in a keyboard) allows for an external hard drive or flash drive to be plugged in, and its media contents viewed. Slideshows on an HD-Ready TV look superb.
5. Thanks to a 500-gbyte hard drive, it can also act as a media server FOR the home network instead.
6. It has 'key-word' searching, which makes it very easy to search for a programme by name, and thence to set up a timer for it. It can also detects words in the programme information, so for example, it's easy to find all HD programmes, since the standard version usually carries the fateful words 'Also in HD'
Here's What It Will Do Soon - I'm trying to be positive here despite a three month delay to even get it to the delivery stage!
1. Subject to final agreement, access to Skyplayer will become a reality. This is a subscription service (what a surprise!) but is free to existing Sky customers, although why they'd want a Freeview box is a bit puzzling. Maybe to give access to Sky in another room of the house?
2. Not content with the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) supplied over the air, 3View plan very soon (at time of writing) to supply a 13-day EPG via the web, as opposed to the 8-day job you normally get. This will give more scope for setting timers further into the future without having to wait a week and then remind yourself to do it once the programme appears in the 8-day schedule.
3. Cordless wand. 3View have early plans to replace the standard remote control with some kind of 'air mouse' at a cost of around £25.
And Further Off......
1. 3View is designed to be at the hub of a home automation system known as Z-Wave. Personally, I don't know much about it, as details of what it will be able to do in the UK are equally sketchy, but remote opening of garage doors, turning on the central heating an hour before you get home and 'putting the seat down' for those prone to forgetting they don't live in an all-male environment, come to mind.
2. Remote setting of timers, and even watching what on your box whilst away from home. It's already possible to use Windows Media Player (on Windows 7) to view programmes on your 3View box, as the networking works both ways. However, 3View are working on allowing you to set timers and make other alterations to your 3View box from a distance.
3. They've already got a limited offering of 'widgets', notably news feeds and a calculator (?) Whilst they're busy working out other what widgets to add on, I'm sure I've read somewhere that a PAYG link to something like LoveFilm movie rental is being considered. To my mind this suits me better than a monthly sub to Skyplayer, quite apart from the fact that I'd further line the Murdoch dynasty's pockets the day hell freezes over.
Picture quality of recordings is every bit as good as that of live terrestrial TV. Thanks to digital transmission, and verbatim hard disk recording, there's no reason why it wouldn't be.
Subject to a suitable aerial and indeed catchment area where HD Freeview is available, the HD picture is quite superb, although ITV cheat somewhat and push out everything on ITV1, HD or SD, so don't expect a re-run of Midsomer Murders to be anything special. The BBC HD channel, being a composite showcase of HD programmes is more likely to be showing items shot in HD in the first place. I've seen it opined elsewhere, that the quality of Freeview HD is superior to Sky HD, although without going to Tescos and staring at their wall of tellies, I couldn't say. Transmission of all HD TV, via an aerial, cable or dish, is limited to 1080i, not the full 1080p that HD sets have been readied for.
Curiously, timers and recorded programmes share the same menu page under the PVR button which, whilst easy enough to get to grips with, flies in the face of a convention that keeps them separate.
Setting a timer is easy, and will be familiar to anyone with a PVR, Sky + box, what-have-you.
Bring up the guide page (the EPG by another name), scroll up, down and across to find the programme you want to record, click on it and confirm whether you want just this one programme or any in its series. Recordings can take place with the machine in stand-by or fully switched on.
Yes, there are 'some'!
Being an 'early adopter' and having been given a 10% discount for early sign-up has its pros and cons, I was among the first wave of owners in the first week of its release to the public - order number 437 I think it was. Yes, I got mine cheaper and earlier than someone buying one in John Lewis, who is the first major retailer to take an interest but there's a downside.
You do still feel a tad like a 'beta-tester (unpaid)' when the technology is this new. There's not even a manual as yet, on-line or on paper. All you get is a 'Quick Start Guide' which covers connections and the back up of nerdy members like me on various forums that have sprung up to serve the needs of users, potential or otherwise. To be frank, the official 3View web-site also has an air of work in progress about it, with lots of 'coming soons' to be found at various dead ends.
It doesn't help disperse the air of being an involuntary pioneer spirit that along with a delivery note, I received an e-mail telling me that very first thing I needed to do was update its software, which I didn't have a problem with per se, but was a little difficult since the Homeplugs which I was going to use via my house mains to create the Ethernet connection were coming 'at a later date'. Fortunately, a 30 feet patch cable from my router slung out of the little bedroom window over the porch and in through the lounge bay came to the rescue!
To its credit, the 3View box is able to update software as it becomes available, unlike some boxes that have to wait weeks for a slot in the 'other the air' delivery schedule to get their 'bugs fixed'.
At time of initial writing, notable bugs included a corruption of EPG data caused by a decision on the part of the Freeview authority to alter the copyright protection on all HD boxes on the very weekend that deliveries commenced. This affected other makers with a Freeview HD product out there. 3View's response to the problem, whilst no doubt already working on a software fix, was to push forward the internet delivery of the 13-day EPG instead, so having an on-line box has definite benefits. Another bug seems to involve random 'lock-ups', the bane of a set-top box owner's life, and not just 3View owners. The beauty of all those forums is that 3View can be in no doubt that this is happening. They've even got a Facebook presence.
If this all seems a bit 'viral' at the moment, it is. I shudder to think how John Lewis staff, and their customers are going to cope with something that doesn't even have an instruction manual, especially when they bring it back after failing to understand its workings.
Curiously, there's no frontal display at all beyond three LEDs. When in standby, an orange one displays. When switched on, this goes out! Only a green internet connection light and a red recording light give you a clue that it's on. If you are watching live, or playing back with no internet connection, nothing shows at all. Of course, if it's under your telly, then this may be seen on a positive light.
I'll revisit this section as time goes by. Hopefully, it's not going to be so 'maverick' for long.
This was the easy bit. The box contents comprise:-
One set-top box (naturally)
One external mains supply with separable mains lead (3view have learned this lesson from other makers' problems with heat build up, leading to the fitting of fans - just want you want in the lounge, not!)
One HDMI lead for connecting to an HD Ready TV
One Ethernet lead for connecting to the internet.
One Quick Start Guide.
One remote control and batteries.
Once you have made all the connections and turned the box on, the rest is largely 'plug and pray'. Mine had no difficulty finding 99 channels including the 3 HD ones. Others have had fun and games with the box finding two of everything as a result of being in a region where two transmitters vie for supremacy. In these cases, you just delete the ones with lower signal strength - they're easy enough to spot.
If you have an internet connection ready, it will acquire an IP address from your router and then I suggest that you check for the latest software version. At this early stage, it may be a fortnightly routine to keep this updated.
You have control over screen definition. Mine's now set to 1080i, the maximum quality output by an HD channel, and I see little reason to 'force' this to 1080p.
The 3View box is a departure from most Freeview PVRs. 3View have even shied away from calling it one, since this fixes the potential owner's mind on only one aspect of what it does, and will do soon, we hope.
From my personal experience, early adopters almost come to expect a box to be flaky. Humax and Topfield have been as bad, so 3View are in 'good' company if you can call it that.
Used as a PVR especially to capture HD programmes, it's a great performer, and at the expense of an ear-bashing from mattygroves10, almost unique. There are other, but seemingly all with their teething troubles.
Potentially, the 3View has the 'killer features' but it's definitely one for the brave as it stands.
Let's hope they're not suicidal features!

Google Announces Nexus Q - Music and Video Streamer for Google Play and YouTubeby Brian Klug on 6/27/2012 2:31 PM EST

dagamer34 - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - linkIt's the Galaxy Nexus in the head of Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In black.
Oh, I read that this thing REQUIRES an Android device to do anything, so it's pretty much DOA compared to an Apple TV or even the Logitech Revue. Sigh. Reply
mfed3 - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - linki would love to have one of these for parties, but the price is way off. this should be $50 to $100. Reply
ssj4Gogeta - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - linkI don't see how they could have made it $50-100. It's basically a Galaxy Nexus hardware-wise sans the display but with other stuff like the amp and the digital audio out. Reply
Aikouka - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - linkIsn't that like saying you don't know how Apple could release a set-top box that has mostly iPhone 4 components in it for $100? The problem is... they did that with the AppleTV 2. =P
It is worthwhile to consider that the AppleTV isn't as powerful as this and has always been a bit more cut down compared to the phone variants. They all have 8GB of NAND, and the newer version 3 uses a single core A5. I assume this is actually good for Apple as it gives them something to do with the dual core A5s that they binned with a failed core. =P Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - link$300 is still overpriced no matter how you slice it, the freaking Nexus7 has a faster SoC and it's $200. Are you saying some audio/video outputs and a 25W amp cost more than a 7" 1280x800 display? Or that said stuff costs $100 extra? The Galaxy Nexus has a display, cellular connectivity, a battery, and a lot more engineering time sunk into it and it's only $50 more!
Besides, the market has shown a strong aversion to paying more than $100 for streaming boxes... At $300 you're better off saving a bit more and getting a tablet/netbook to stream . I don't understand why they didn't bake whatever the Q is trying to be into high end Google TV devices ($200 tops).
Their living room device strategy is just all over the place. Google TV has a ton of potential, it just needs two things, more content partnerships and a better remote. Mobile device mirroring would push it over the top. Right now it's just as dead in the water as a the $300 Q tho. Reply
