Data Protection Commissioner Billy Hawkes has said his office will need more resources if it is to oversee practices in multinational companies based here under new EU regulations.
Under the proposed regulations, announced by the European Commission last month, Ireland would be the designated data protection authority in Europe for companies like Facebook and Google, which have their main European bases here.
Speaking at the Irish Computer Society's Data Protection Conference at Croke Park in Dublin this morning, Mr Hawkes said the recent audit of Facebook had absorbed a lot of his small office's resources.
He said if the office becomes responsible for many more such organisations and their data protection practices, it will be very challenging.
However, he said he believed there was an Ireland Inc agenda there to make sure that Ireland is seen as a place where personal data is well protected.
New laws has strong emphasis on person's rights: Hawkes
Mr Hawkes said the EU regulations on data protection have a strong emphasis on a person's right to control their personal information on social networking sites.
He welcomed the inclusion of a so-called "right to be forgotten", which will ensure users can permanently delete information from sites like Facebook.
However he said this would be a challenging concept as it would come up against the right of the media and other organisations to keep data.
The regulations were outlined by the European Data Protection Commissioner Viviane Reding last month and are due to take effect across Europe in early 2014.
The conference also heard details of a recent survey on data protection by the ICS, involving over 300 IT administration and management staff.
The survey found that, over the last 12 months, nearly half of respondents reported that their companies had experienced a data breach.
58% of these breaches were caused by a staff member, proportionally more of a result of internal failure and lack of awareness, rather than from external data theft.
The society is launching a new Association of Data Protection Officers at the conference this afternoon.
It said the association will be open to membership for anyone carrying out a data protection role in their organisation, either formally or informally.

Living Faith 10.1 and 10.2
"Many people think our job is to get my afterlife destination taken care of, then tread water till we all get ejected and God comes back and torches this place. But Jesus never told anybody—neither his disciples nor us—to pray, 'Get me out of here so I can go up there.' His prayer was, 'Make 'up there' come 'down here.' Make things 'down here' run the way they do 'up there." —John Ortberg
We wait for a world on the way. Living Faith tells us that Christians are people who hope, not in their own potential, not in progress, but in God whose will for the world will get full traction on earth one day. God has prepared a future and will usher it in and it will blow our minds. The planet will flourish and life brimming over will come to all. Lions and lambs will lie down together, swords will get hammered into plowshares, and the whole planet will be detoxified. God will do it. Finally, God will triumph over all opposition and everything that disrupts creation. Salvation full on.
And what do we do while we wait for God? Some critics of the faith say that this kind of hope is an opiate, a pacifying pharmaceutical. It puts a person into a theologically induced sleep so he or she just sits around and waits it out, puts in time, kills time while waiting for God to act. Why get all activist if the renewal of the world is God's work? Why bother with Presbyterian World Service and Development, with efforts to improve people's lives and agitate for more humane arrangements in the world? Our hope, after all, isn't in what we can pull off in the meanwhile waiting for God. God will do it. We cannot. So:
Sit down O people of God,
His Kingdom He will bring,
whenever it may be His will,
You cannot do a thing.
Living Faith does say, however, that while we wait for God to act decisively, we pray. We pray the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples: "thy kingdom come." Prayer is doing something. Prayer is an act of defiance at the way the world is—say "thy kingdom come" and you start holding out for better arrangements in the world than those currently on tap. Say "Our Father, let your kingdom land right here in this world," and find that certainties about the way it's got to be become, well, combustible. Prayer for God's kingdom is a subversive act, as Karl Barth said, "to clasp one's hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world." In a class H. Richard Niebuhr taught on the Lord's Prayer, he said that praying 'thy kingdom come' is like yelling at the bottom of a snow – laden mountain. You're asking for an avalanche! Hope in the form of prayer for God's kingdom is asking for an intrusion into the world that changes everything. Praying Christians participate in the coming of the Kingdom by divine invitation.
Another thing that needs to be said is that often Christian hope for a renewed world coming from God is more like an amphetamine than an opiate. Get your imagination stoked with visions of the world God will bring and find yourself discontent with the way it is right now. Living Faith talks about pictures of the age to come. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, imagine a place and a time where implements of war are turned to the service of feeding people. Imagine a place where God wipes away tears from every eye and justice and peace embrace. Let that settle into you and what happens is a great discontent with plowshares turned to swords, lions eating lambs and justice denied by impatient power. People whose imaginations get sanctified by the pictures of scripture say things like "I have a dream" and act to stoke discontent in the world through graceful gestures that point toward the renewed heaven and earth God will bring. They testify to a little of the already – kingdom in our not – yet – there world.
Jim Wallace tells the story of Archbishop Desmond Tutu at St. George's Cathedral during the period of apartheid in South Africa. When a group of soldiers came in to shut a service down, Tutu pointed at the soldiers lining the walls and said: "You are not God, you cannot mock God, you've already been defeated." After waiting a tense moment, Tutu came out from behind the pulpit, flashed a smile and said: "So you might as well join the winning side." That's hope in God and in God's Christ as amphetamine. That's waiting on the kingdom of God stoked by pictures of scripture.
Living Faith says, "God has prepared for us things beyond our imagining." However, it also says, "life in the age to come is pictured in the Bible," and my, those pictures do entice.

Marion Cotillard: Actors Are Fragile Creatures
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
Marion Cotillard believes many actors suffer from substance abuse issues because they are "fragile creatures."
The Dark Knight Rises actress thinks that some of her contemporaries give in to the allure of booze and illegal highs because they are looking for an escape from their stressful careers. When asked why she thinks so many actors succumb to alcohol and drugs, Marion said, "Actors are fragile creatures. The wider the gap, the more vulnerable we are. Any form of escape can seem good. You have to navigate through the different emotions because you're placed in tough positions as an actor. Everything we give in a performance can come back to torture."
The 38-year-old French star has also revealed her profession has led her to become enthralled with the ideals of the "American Dream" - which is the ideal that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve prosperity and success. Marion lived in New York for a brief period to learn English and while she was in The Big Apple she fell in love with the way of life in the USA and the ideas Americans hold dear.
"In a certain respect, yes [I love the American dream]. And I love their language. I came to New York to take an English language course with Berlitz. I didn't become an actress with the aim of having a career in the US, my dream didn't have any geographical boundaries, but just after filming Tim Burton's Big Fish, I was looking forward to speaking the language fluently because my poor English from my school days was a problem on set. This love of English comes from my childhood, I grew up on American culture. Their music, cinema and literature were part of me," she said, speaking the latest French issue of ELLE magazine.

- Pick up or DL Clinton Sparks' and Pharoahe Monch's "The Awakening" mixtape ASAP..if you haven't already. Listen to the "Shut Em' Down freestyle" and thank me later.
- Did anyone really dig Camp Lo's "Fort Apache Mixtape"…after several listens I don't know what I think of this and it's been out for maybe 6 mo's.?
- Wasn't "In Living Color" the dopest comedy skit show back in the day? Also, how many artists got their first big break on that show?? i.e, A.D.O.R., L.O.N.S., Grand Puba, etc.
- And while we're talking about A.D.O.R. Wasn't that one of the Chocolate Boy Wonder's best productions ever?
- And since I brought up Pete Rock. What would you give for one last Pete & CL album? Even the tracks they did together on Soul Survivor 2 were CRAZY
- Elzhi PUT OUT A SOLO RECORD…period. They say that T3 doesn't write rhymes on paper. Damn, who would've guessed that?? Yeah Right!!
- This is gonna' be one of the best Final Fours ever!!!
- Kobe putting up 50 four consecutive games….NUTS!!!!
- Alright…I admit it..I've been playing the hell outta' P Diddy & Keysha Cole's "Last Night" and also Fergie & Luda's "GLAMOROUS"…now I feel like the dude in the shower scene in "Crying Game"
- If you listen to only one album this week, listen to Da King & I's "Contemporary Jeep Music" so overlooked it oughta' be a crime!!
If you were anything like me back in 95′, you loved anything that was poppin' off with Nervous Records. This is a dope ass mixtape compiled of mostly Nervous artists at the time, i.e, Smif N Wessun, Black Moon, etc. I still to this day bump this at least once a week. Actually, Nervous put out a few compilations all around this same time period celebrating the best of their label. Kenny Dope handles the mix, BTW does anyone have or recall the "Jeep Beats" tape he put out in 93′. I had this on my ipod about a year or so ago, but I had to restore my ipod and lost it. Anyway, this one will definitely take you back!!
Main Source-F**k What You Think
Damn, did we get spoiled with "Breaking Atoms" or what?? Mikey D, while very capable on the mic, just wasn't the Large Professor. The beats on this album are very consistent and all have that mid 90′s feel that we all miss soo very much. I never even heard this album til' 04′. Growing up, I picked up "Breaking Atoms" on the strength of "Looking At The Front Door" and "let my tape rock till' my tape popped" but I could never find "F**k What You Think" anywhere!! I can remember reading about the groups disbanding but that was it. Still, it's a very enjoyable listen if you can just get "Breaking Atoms" out of your head.
Nice & Smooth-Jewel Of The Nile
"What was the most consistent Nice & Smooth album?" "Ain't A Damn Thing Changed"? or what about their self titled debut? Well, folks this is it. "Jewel of The Nile" was a pleasant surprise for me when it first dropped. The sound is a little more rugged on this, the duo's third effort. While "Blunts" kept the party strong borrowing the same riff as Smif N Wessun's "Bucktown", "Let's all get down" nearly put you in a neck brace with a show stealing appearance from the one and only Slick Rick. While neither of these MC's were overly talented lyrically, they sure enough made up for it with their unique flow and sheer entertainment.

Washington State's recruiting efforts in Los Angeles continue to pay off as Dorsey three-star cornerback Daquawn Brown committed to the Cougars on Monday.
Last recruiting cycle, Washington State landed a bunch of Southern California standouts including former Dorsey teammate Jeremiah Allison and that definitely played a factor in Brown's decision-making process.
"It was a family thing," Brown said. "I talked it over with my family and I felt when I went out to Washington State I felt like I was on the team already. They treated me like family.
Article Continues Below
"There are some L.A. dudes over there that I know and Jeremiah and it was just the best feeling. I wanted to commit when I was out there but I wanted to make sure I was doing the process right and actually take another trip.
"I wanted to visit Washington but I didn't feel the same at Washington as I did at Washington State. I was tired of waiting so I got it over with."
Brown, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound three-star recruit, had basically narrowed his options to Washington and Washington State in recent weeks. He took both visits, compared the schools and felt the fit in Pullman was better.
Instead of prolonging his decision or waiting on other schools, Brown decided to make his college choice on Monday and he's not looking back.
Not only did Washington State impress him but he knows many of the players on the team since they're also from Los Angeles and that played a big role.
"It was like an all-star team of L.A. dudes out there," Brown said. "They could show me the ways of what to do, what not to do and they're like family, too, so they could just show me the way."

A miniskirt is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, generally at mid-thigh level, normally no longer than 10 cm (4 in) below the buttocks; and a dress with such a hemline is called a minidress or a miniskirt dress. A micro-miniskirt or microskirt is a miniskirt with its hemline at the upper thigh. Short skirts have existed for a long time, though they were generally not called "mini" until the 1960s. Instances of clothing resembling miniskirts have been identified by archaeologists and historians as far back as c.1390–1370 BCE. In the early 20th century, the dancer Josephine Baker's banana skirt that she wore for her mid-1920s performances in the Folies Bergère was subsequently likened to a miniskirt. Extremely short skirts became a staple of 20th-century science fiction, particularly in 1940s pulp artwork such as that by Earle K. Bergey who depicted futuristic women in a "stereotyped combination" of metallic miniskirt, bra and boots. Wikipedia

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — O.J. Mayo felt so responsible for how Memphis blew a 27-point lead in the series opener with the Clippers that he had barely slept since that loss. He made sure all the Grizzlies can sleep well now.
Mayo scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, and Memphis bounced back to beat Los Angeles 105-98 on Wednesday night in Game 2.
"We'll get some good rest tonight and go to L.A. for two more games," Mayo said.
The Grizzlies collapsed Sunday night, letting the Clippers grab home-court advantage in the best-of-seven, first-round Western Conference series. Down 21 points at the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers tied the NBA playoff record for largest final-period comeback.
The schedule meant the Grizzlies had two days between games to simmer over what went wrong.
"That was tough to lose in the fashion we did, then have to sit there and watch it on ESPN every day and the miraculous comeback and that stuff," Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay said. "That's what kind of had us come in here today and play like we did…. We didn't have any lapses like we did before."
The Grizzlies made sure to return to their physical style in evening the series with Game 3 in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Clippers feel like they missed a big opportunity.
"I think we're madder about losing this one than as excited as we were about winning Game 1 because we felt like we came out with the right mentality," All-Star guard Chris Paul said. "We hit first and stuff like that. But it just didn't work in our favor."
Gay also scored 21 points and Memphis showed off its depth with six players reaching double figures. Mike Conley had 19, Zach Randolph 15, Marreese Speights 11 and Tony Allen 10.
Paul led the Clippers with 29 points. Blake Griffin had 22, and Mo Williams and Nick Young 11 apiece.
Memphis coach Lionel Hollins called Paul a great player, someone the coach used three or four different Grizzlies trying to defend.
"He scored on everybody so who do you want me to put on him? I can't come off the bench and guard him," Hollins said. "I'm too old."
The Grizzlies had the lead going into the fourth quarter for a second straight game. This time, the Clippers got no closer than four.
Memphis led 75-69 at the start of this fourth quarter, and Paul's four-point play with 8:06 left got the Clippers to 83-79. The Grizzlies answered with Conley scoring on a driving layup, followed by another 3 from Mayo.
"I got to give a big credit to O.J. Mayo," Allen said. "He opened the game up for us."
Bobby Simmons, starting with Caron Butler out with a broken left hand, scored seven of his nine points in the fourth.
It wasn't enough as Gay and Randolph combined to score six straight points with Gay's basket giving Memphis its biggest lead of the night at 97-84 with 3:52 remaining. The Grizzlies sealed the victory by hitting six of 10 free throws in the final 47.6 seconds.
Both the Clippers and Grizzlies started this game as if they simply picked up Sunday night when Los Angeles finished the game on a 28-3 run.
Playing aggressively, the Clippers jumped out to a 6-1 lead as the Grizzlies missed their first four shots. Memphis didn't hit its first shot until Conley's driving layup with 8:19 left in the first quarter, and Gay missed his first three shots before hitting a 15-foot jumper.
The Clippers shot 64.7 percent (11 of 17) in the first quarter and hit 4 of 6 at the free throw line. But they just couldn't match the Grizzlies who outrebounded the Clippers (37-2) with a big edge on the offensive boards (16-4), which they used to outscore them 18-6 on second-chance points. Memphis also had a 46-38 edge in the paint.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said the Grizzlies fed off offensive rebounds and 21 turnovers, and his team helped them too much. Los Angeles center DeAndre Jordan agreed.
"We felt like we should have won the game tonight," Jordan said. "Our turnovers, we gave them 25 points off our turnovers. You can't win a game like that. We definitely feel confident going home with a split, but in reality we should have two games right now."
Paul blamed himself with five turnovers of his own.
"I've got to figure out how to get them off of me," Paul said. "Some of them were just bad passes and stuff like that, but when you're getting in the lane and it's the playoffs, they're going to let you play and they're going to let them grab and hold and stuff like that."
The emotions are starting to boil in this series, and the Grizzlies brought out wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler came out and delivered a pile driver to someone dressed up as a Clippers' fan. That almost seemed to help spark the Grizzlies.
They opened the second quarter hitting six of their first seven shots and took their first lead on a pair of free throws by Mayo at 31-30 early in the quarter. Nick Young tied it at 37 on a 3 with 6:22 left, then Marreese Speights tipped in a bucket with 5:53 left, and the Grizzlies never trailed or were tied again. Memphis led 51-47 at halftime.
Memphis hit 11 3-pointers in Game 1 and reverted back to the team that ranked 25th in the NBA from outside the arc by missing its first eight attempts Wednesday night. Mayo finally ended the drought with his 3 over Griffin with 9:32 left, and he followed with a jumper on the next possession giving Memphis an 82-73 lead.
Notes: Memphis had its eighth straight playoff sellout going back to last spring. … Hollins wore his championship ring won when he played for Portland. He said someone else found it and brought it to the game, so he wore it. … The Grizzlies had only 13 turnovers. … Del Negro said Butler will see a specialist Thursday in Los Angeles.

As Charles told you this morning, Mitt Romney's momentum argument from before Sandy is basically gone. Now, news that Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorses Obama comes at a critical time.
Endorsements don't generally matter, but coming as this does on the heels of Sandy, the Bloomberg endorsement adds to the glow surrounding President Obama going into the weekend before the election. And all Romney has done to try to change the state of the race is to continue his negative stump speeches. That's not enough.
Here's the thing: Mitt Romney desperately needs to change the narrative. And he can't change the narrative with ads, or with attacks from behind a podium. Just about the only way Mitt Romney can change the narrative is by giving a candid interview to a non-Fox outlet. I think his campaign knows this, but they've also calculated the risk of a Romney personal appearance, and they've decided that it's more likely that Romney would fuck up an interview.
Not counting the debates, Romney hasn't made a personal appearance with the media in over a month. I think it's been even longer for Ryan. If he could just make a single appearance where he looks like a realistic human being, Romney would garner some much-needed positive attention. But he can't do that, because he's terrible at extemporaneous interviews. Unless he's been coached to within an inch of his life, Romney always says something his campaign has to walk back, or he makes a joke that falls flat, or he drops an obvious and unfortunate lie. I almost feel bad for the Romney campaign: The one thing they really need right now, their candidate simply can't deliver. Mittmentum is just a memory now.

UK releases Chinese retail guide
Simplified' translation of its groundbreaking Global Standard
for Consumer Products on 26 October 2004.
This will prove invaluable for companies who are developing a presence in the Far East, enabling them to co-operate more effectively with their suppliers.
The BRC Global Standard for Consumer Products, launched in 2003, specifies the requirements of supplying consumer products to the UK retail market. The standard is an important initiative in promoting product safety standards across all sectors and providing the basis for companies supplying consumer products to achieve certification.
"This is a significant development in the BRC Global Standards series as it extends the reach of best practice standards into the important Far Eastern market," said Kevin Swoffer, BRC head of technical services.
"Retailers recognise the importance of the supply of consumer products from China and the Far East and we are in no doubt that the translation of the Standard will help businesses who are increasing their operations in the region.
"The BRC Standard for Consumer Products provides the mechanism by which suppliers will be assessed and their competency measured against a common but appropriate standard. It is envisaged that suppliers will act positively, as was the case with the BRC Global Standard - Food, where there has been significant evidence of continuous improvement and commitment to meet customer requirements."
The standard is available www.tso.co.uk/bookshop/brc online.

Collusive agreements are often observed in procurement auctions. They are probably more easily achieved when competitors' costs are easily estimated. If, however, the individual costs of bidders are private information, effective ring formation is difficult to realize. We compare experimentally different coordination mechanisms in a first-price procurement auction in how they promote the prospects of collusive arrangements. One mechanism allows bidders to coordinate by means of unrestricted pre-play communication. The second one enables bidders to restrict their bidding range and the last one gives them the opportunity to implement mutual shareholding. According to our results firstprice procurement is quite collusion-proof when allowing for the latter two coordination mechanisms whereas, on average, pre-play communication increases bidders' profits.

I have been looking for this photo for years. This photo was taken with camera with film and was not photo shopped in any way. I understand it was removed from circulation because it was taken by a forrest ranger and the dept. claimed priority.Truly an amazing moving photograph.
Those poor deer. Hope they got out ok.

Tony and Cherie pledge organs
Organ donations are being stopped by relatives
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie are backing a campaign to promote organ donation by collecting their first donor cards.
Mr and Mrs Blair have not so far carried cards showing that they wanted to be organ donors in the event of their death.
"But they have now been convinced and inspired by this campaign to do so," a spokesman said.
Campaign publicity - including advertisements on television, radio and cinema - features members of the public telling their nearest and dearest that they wish to be donors.
Among the people taking part in the campaign is 23-year-old student Ian Latham from Milton Keynes.
He said: "Doing this was important to me because I think the idea of organ donation should be important to everyone.
"If you have a chance to save somebody's life after your time is up, then in a way that makes death a bit easier."
Helping someone live
Health minister Baroness Hayman, who will launch the campaign in London on Monday, said: "Even if you carry a card or have your name on the NHS organ donor register, your family will be asked whether they agree to donation.
"Knowing what their loved one would have wanted helps make that decision so much clearer.
"That is why it is so important that people who are prepared to become donors should discuss it with their nearest and dearest, to let them know their wishes."
Lady Hayman said she hoped the campaign "will bring that message clearly home to the many people who would like to help someone live on in the event of their own death".

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The only part of this costume that was actually handmade was Beelzenef (who, after being man-handled many times at the cons, is in need of a good ironing). The rest was just pieced together from clothing I already owned and a cloak from an old Hallowe'en costume.
- Personal Thoughts:
- It's fun to just walk around a con and hear whispers of "Beelzenef!" from over your shoulder.
I've also come to find entertainment in taking a central location at a con, just sitting there for an hour creepily waving at passers-by with Beelzenef.

A Toyota Tundra being driven north on U.S. Highway 101 near Wilson Lane crossed over into oncoming traffic and struck the back end of a trailer hauled by a semi-truck around 12:25 p.m. on Tuesday.
Debris from the trailer then struck another car.
The collision caused minor injuries, the California Highway Patrol stated.
It did not shut down any lanes of the highway.
It is unclear what caused Timothy Hennessey, 18, of Klamath Falls, Ore., to cross his truck into oncoming traffic and hit the semi-truck driven by Dennis Moline, 61, of Grants Pass, Ore.

How Good is the Crossover in the XTi
Drumz87 replied to tucker_sound's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionMy Xti 4000's are all using DSP for the last 4 years for crossover and eq settings for the JBL SRX boxes i use in my systems. I have 9 different programs are set up for full range, bi amp with and without a sub and bridge mono mode. Less cabling headaches on set up and teardown! I use the XTI 4000's on my monitor system and on my 'wedding PA' system where I am lucky to get one 20amp circuit just for house PA! No problems...
Best Amp set up for JBL SRX722/728 - Stereo 3-Way Tri-Amped
Drumz87 replied to pmaidson's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionI have the same system you have mentioned. I run all 4 728S with 2 IT6000's and 4 722 mid drivers with 2 IT6000's and 1 IT4000 for all 4 HF drivers. PLENTY of headroom. I find the IT4000 overkill for the HF drivers and would suggest an Xti 1000 for the HF section. An alternative would be to bridge an Xti 4000 into each 728s and each mid pack. I have all my amps programmed to push any box in my speaker compliment including biamping the 712m monitors. I did this incase some of the amps go down, I always have backup with the programs ready to go plus it will always be consistent! PG
Here is the direct link. http://www.jblpro.com/tunings/index.htm HEY! How did you do that? I can work the IQwic programs, but cant get a friggin' link to pop up on this forum...I'm terrible!
Itech 6000 or 8000 new / B stock
Drumz87 replied to mikem's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionMike, In my opinion, it would be best to get another IT-6000 for a few reasons. First, you already have 2 in your amplifier arsenal that you are happy with. You could, and I highly suggest, you program all your amps to have the capability to cover all of the frequency ranges and all speaker cabinets you employ for your system. This makes each amp as versitle as possible. The power output will be consistant no matter what job they are assigned to do. Second, keep in mind that these are 4ohm amplifiers. You will only get the maximum power out of the amps if you drive them at 4 ohms per channel. That 8000 will deliver the 4000 watts per channel at 4 ohms. It will DROP output power if you bring it down to 2 ohms thus getting an output of 3500 watts per channel. Who makes a speaker that can handle 4000 watts peak? I think EAW has a dual driver subwoofer cabinet with peak power rating of 3600 watts at 4 ohms... thats alot of thump! Last, The clients I service have had few issues with B stock items. In fact, no more than what I have expirienced with new amplifiers. The nice thing about the ITs is that you can see how many hours the unit has been powered up, so you'll have an idea of how 'OLD' the amp really is. Besides, with the no fault warranty, you can just ship it back to Crown if a problem should arise. Good luck in your decision!
BlackT5, You can actually get the settings JBL reccomends off of their website at JBLPRO.com. You can print a copy of the data or download the file directly on your computer. Then, plug in the parameters, and go to town. It takes all the guess work out of the settings. Then, change the output levels to your taste. Enjoy!
Xti 4000 with JBL MRX518s
Drumz87 replied to Blackdevil77's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHmm.. I'll think about that one...
Itech 8000 question
Drumz87 replied to mikem's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionI would opt for another IT-6000 amp for a few reasons. First, your sub boxes will be underpowered once the power is divided amongst your cabinets thus reducing their performance capability. Second, to acheive the 8000 watts from the It-8000 amp, it has to be run at a 4 ohm load which will yeild 4000 watts per channel. As soon as you drop the load to 2 ohms, then the power output decreases to 3500 watts. However, your subs program power are specd at 1700 watts, peak at 3400 watts which is why, in my opinion, you should get another IT-6000. Also, do an expiriment with your existing cabinets. Run your system with your favorite program material playing at a good volume. Then, with the music playing mute your sub amp. Connect BOTH sub cabinets to one channel of the IT-6000 and unmute that channel. You should notice a big difference in the performance of your subs. Some may argue with an 8000, you'll get more headroom, however, the point is each box still will not see the 1700 watts continuous required to perform to spec. Its like buying a Porche 911 and powering it with a 1100cc VW motor.
Which amp to go with
Drumz87 replied to alrode78's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionBull, I would suggest you to purchase 2 Xti-2000 amps. The amp power output at 8ohms is 475watts, and at 4 ohms is 800 watts stereo. This would be a good match for those speakers. Also, the speaker tunings are available on JBLPRO.com website so you will be able to program the DSPs in each amplifiter to match the settings for each speaker cabinet perfectly. Enjoy!
Xti 4000 with JBL MRX518s
Drumz87 replied to Blackdevil77's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionI use one Xti4000 in Bridge mono into a pair of SRX718S subs and it does an excellent job with plenty of thump and headroom. The best feature of all is being able to 'tune' the amps DSP to match the box specs which is available directly on the JBL website. If you do purchase the MRX518s, you will NOT be able to bridge one into your set of speakers. However, from the power requirements you have listed, you will get 1200 watts at 4ohms per channel in stereo mode with an Xti4000 which looks to be a good match for those speakers. Good Luck!
whats up with the xti 4000 amp
Drumz87 replied to mach1's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionWhen buying an open box product from any store, be cautious that it may not be 100% functional. Lets face it, you get what you pay for. Although, you may have saved a few bucks by buying it as an open box item, but now you will be pulling your hair out trying to get service from the place you purchased it from. Lucky for you that CROWN offers a 3 year NO FAULT warranty on their products, so my suggestion is to pack that puppy up in the box, and ship back to the factory so they can fix it right the FIRST TIME. I wouldn't suggest sending it to your local repair shop. They will give you the run aroung just like the "BIG BOX" music store did, plus you'd probably spend less to ship it to Crown than your local repair shop will charge you just to figure out what the issue is with the unit (if they aren't guessing what the problem is!)
Xti 1000 - Too much fan noise for a home studio?
Drumz87 replied to wavescapes's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionA 'fanless' amp for your application is probably a K1 Crown. Check the power requirements of your speakers first. Although, the Xti fan noise isn't loud.
JBL MPro
Drumz87 replied to Blackdevil77's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionThe speaker in the MPro 418 is a JBL VGC 2241 H (8ohm) or G (4ohm) speaker. However, you may also want to try a pair of SR-X 4718 subs as well. The speakers were identical until the SR-X model was eventually loaded with a JBL VGC 2242HPL high powered 800watt rms speaker. If you look hard enough thru the internet, you can still find some online stores with stock of either MPro or SR-X cabinets. And if you are really set on getting those series speakers, EBAY would be another venue to search for old stock of those series speakers. Good luck in your search!
I-Tech Power cable
Drumz87 replied to ned911's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionNed, Order the set directly from Crown. Since the amp has a universal PS, there are many different cord sets that come with the amp. They are useful if you plan to do a show on a cruise ship too! lol
If you are worried about pushing your speakers 'too hard', rest assured that you have plenty of protection within the amplifier to keep from 'blowing up' your speakers! Also, i highly reccomend that you go to the JBL webside and download the speaker tunings for your VRX boxes. They spend alot of time and money on research and development of these boxes to make them sound phenomenal! Its right in the palm of your hands! Bridge mono. Everyones fear. Well, in all of my years of installs (20+), I have seen way too many amps (all brands) fry because of mismatched speaker loads and improper speaker connection. Read the amplifier manual. Make sure the speaker impedance load matches the capablility of the amp. Be sure the input and output connections are correct. Its that simple. I use this phrase all the time. "Would you drive your car 55mph in first gear?" You could, but your engine wouldn't last long. Its the same with amps. Make sure the amps and speakers compliment eachother, hook them up correctly, and you will have no problems! My direct knowlege of pro audio interconnection is due to reading manuals and reccomendations from the manufacturers. I am no rocket scientist. I am a pro installer that is an audiophile, sound engineer, and musician. I just do what the manuals tell me to do. But the real challenge I face is to figure out what best suits my clients needs within their budjet! So I guess to answer your question of 'to bridge or not to bridge?' BRIDGE! But I'd reccomend to use 2 Xti-4000s to power your speakers...
The Speakers you have handle 800 watts continuous, 1600 watts program, and 3200 watts peak input power. I have installed a few dozen of these in churches and used IT6000s full range and XTi 4000s bridged on them which matched the box perfectly with plenty of headroom. When choosing amps, be sure to look at how the power is being rated. The ITs are tested with a 20-20k frequency range where the Xtis are tested at 1K. Sure, the XTi 2000 may produce the 1600 watts 8 ohms bridged at 1K, but as soon as you have a real time impedance load and 20-20k program, that 1600 watts will surely be cut consideribly, plus the loss of power due to heat in the crossover networks, you may only be getting 1200 watts at the end of the line. I always attempt to spec speakers to the PEAK power rating to make sure the speaker gets the correct program power, and in turn, the extra headroom will not stress the amplifier trying to push the speakers when they really get PUSHED! I'd suggest either get one IT-6000 to power a pair of VRX932LA or 2 Xti-4000s bridged at 8 ohms (2400 watts @ 1K).

London's Giving - transforming and energising local giving
A London Funders' initiative to develop place-based giving.
Inspired by the innovative Islington Giving, a ground-breaking cross sector collaboration, London's Giving is sharing the evidence base, lessons learnt and know-how from local giving campaigns to help interested London boroughs to create their own locally tailored initiatives. We believe that a 'one size fits all blueprint' won't work, but that locally focused solutions are an effective way to target effort and resources where they are most needed. London's Giving will help build capacity to get there.
London's Giving Toolkit
This toolkit includes information and support for anyone interested in establishing a place-based giving initiative. It is regularly updated with case studies,blogs and lessons learnt. Regular guest blogs enable our network to share their experiences.
London's Giving Strategy
Following on from a successful pilot phase, London's Giving will spend the next three years providing support to every London Borough that is interested in setting up a local scheme, building the evidence, strengthening the learning network and securing a sustainable future for the Giving movement. Read the full strategy here .
News from our network
12/10/2017- How can independent funders work with local, regional and national public agencies in defined geographic areas? The Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR) has published a series of case studies on place-based funding partnerships. Essential reading for anyone involved in cross-sector working, the research highlights eight key elements of collaborative funding in practice. Together with IVAR's framework, published last year, the case studies form an in-depth look at place-based funding approaches.

07/10/2016- East End Community Foundation have released their latest Vital Signs report which reveals how the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Newham are performing compared to the rest of the country. Their findings show unemployment rates have recently improved and the East End is leading the way nationally in terms of its cultural heritage and the local economy. However, on a national scale, East End is performing worse than 80% of comparable areas for the social themes fairness, healthy living, housing & homelessness and safety. A survey of over 400 local people also confirmed that housing and safety are key concerns for local residents.
Vital Signs is a research report and local charitable giving guide unique to the community foundation movement. Based on ten social themes, the research draws upon official statistics and the views of local people to provide a health check of social issues in local communities. The report helps EECF to understand how London's East End is performing against comparable areas across London and the UK, and will be used by the Foundation and its donors to more effectively target their philanthropic resources. A copy of the report can be downloaded from the EECF website.
27/09/2016- Big Lottery Fund and Islington Giving join together to further investment in Islington. In exciting news for the borough, the Big Lottery Fund has committed £450,000 to support Islington Giving for three years, increasing investment into Islington. As the innovator of the 'Giving' model, Islington Giving has inspired the creation of 16 other 'Givings' across London, encouraging funders, businesses, residents and voluntary organisations to work together to tackle issues in their areas.

With its waterfront convention centre and downtown airport, ranks of corporate hotels and position among California's cool ideas and hot markets, San Diego is all business. But it also beckons you to come out and play, from its coastal setting, idyllic climate and burgeoning craft-beer industry to iconic attractions and theatres presenting Broadway's best.
Plan your after-work activities in stages and across different neighbourhoods. Start with where you'll take in the sunset, whether that's watching surfers catching the final waves along Pacific Beach, sailing on a sunset harbour cruise or taking in the glow from the bar atop the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, the tallest waterfront hotel on the West Coast. Next, hit a museum or gallery, many of which have late hours, or attend a concert or show at one of myriad halls and theatres. Dining options range from the bustling Gaslamp Quarter to the eponymous cuisine of Little Italy and the simple Hispanic eateries of Barrio Logan. Finally, the bars of the hipster North Park and the vibrant East Village neighbourhoods are open until 2 a.m. for a nightcap and a game of pool.
San Diego wasn't always such a rich draw for the business traveller, as a sleepy military port-of-call with a derelict downtown. As the homeport of the Pacific Fleet, it remains the largest naval base on the U.S. West Coast, but revitalization efforts over the last three decades have brought people to visit, stay and even live.
Canadian business people are especially drawn to year-round temperatures (between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius) that keep a lot of action out-of-doors and are perfect for walking. If you want to rest your feet or go a little farther, take a trolley tour or hop on the San Diego Trolley, the modern transit system that criss-crosses the city.
The Gaslamp Quarter is in the middle of the action, an entertainment hub with Victorian charm that offers some 100 restaurants and 40 nightclubs and bars. This was once San Diego's red-light district and home to three gambling halls run by Wyatt Earp. One of the cornerstones of the area's revitalization is Croce's, a jazz restaurant established in 1985 by Ingrid Croce as a tribute to her husband, singer/songwriter Jim Croce ( Bad Bad Leroy Brown).
For the younger crowd, there's North Park with its craft beer scene, coffee houses and the Birch North Park Theatre, home of the Lyric Opera. Hillcrest, the hub of the city's Lesbian and Gay community, has chic boutiques, hopping nightlife and interesting bistros, such as Mama Testa Taqueria, one of many taco eateries in San Diego, home of the fish taco. One of the most popular food sensations in the city, they can be stuffed with everything from battered fried fish to grilled mahi-mahi, lobster chunks and even caviar.
Balboa Park, the largest urban park in the U.S., groans with cultural and recreational attractions, including the San Diego Air & Space Museum, Old Globe theatre and the spectacular Botanical Building, built for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition. It is also home to the classic San Diego Zoo.
If you have time for an excursion, don't miss La Jolla, about 20 minutes away by taxi, just within the northern city limits of San Diego. With opulent precincts reminiscent of Beverly Hills (complete with its own Rodeo Drive for high-end shopping,) La Jolla also has oceanside cliffs that rival the Riviera and forest reserves that make it perfect for walking. You'll also find fine dining and a thriving cultural scene, with the La Jolla Playhouse featuring shows on their way to Broadway. The Canadian hit production of Jesus Christ Superstar, currently playing at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, will open at the playhouse for six weeks beginning Nov. 18, and heads to Broadway in the spring.
San Diego's a great beer town, with a number of breweries that offer free tours and tastings. You or your group can arrange or create your own brewery crawl, with a free, downloadable map and guide from the San Diego Brewer's Guild (www.sandiegobrewersguild.org), or concierges can also help you figure out which breweries to hit.
So, there is a lot to do in San Diego, before, after, even during your workday. It might be hard to remember that you're here on business.
An evening out
5:15 p.m. Put on your walking shoes and explore one of San Diego's charismatic neighbourhoods or outdoor idylls, such as the Embarcadero, the marina area that borders downtown and rings San Diego Bay, with sights and sounds from playful public art to swooping gulls. (www.walksandiego.org)
6 p.m. See what's brewing in San Diego's thriving craft beer scene, with dozens of breweries, restaurants and pubs as well as special events, including San Diego Beer Week, which in 2011 will be held from Nov. 4 to 13. (www.sandiegoisbrewing.com)
6:45 Take in some culture at Balboa Park, the nation's largest urban park, with an amazing range of museums, attractions, gardens, recreation and performing arts centres. The annual Balboa Park December Nights, (in 2011 it will be held on Dec. 2 and 3), is San Diego's largest free community festival, with food, music and entertainment from around the world and museums opening their doors gratis from 5-9 pm both evenings. (www.balboapark.org)
8 p.m. Head to La Jolla, the "jewel" of San Diego, with its stunning ocean-side vistas, luxury shopping, high-end dining, award-winning golf and cultural attractions, including Broadway-bound productions running at the La Jolla Playhouse. (www.lajollabythesea.com)
9:30 p.m. Head to the Gaslamp Quarter to finish off the night with a nightcap (you can go earlier for a meal or to shop). Croce's, established by Ingrid Croce as a tribute to her husband, singer/songwriter Jim Croce, is a local jazz and food landmark. (www.gaslamp.org, www.croces.com)

My first selection was The Body Shop Sumptuous Cleansing Butter. TBS near me actually closed down this year, so I've not had a chance to pop into store and investigate this further, but it's definitely one of the cleansing balms that caught my eye. This is the full size of the product which usually costs £12 (almost double the cost of the beauty box!), and comes with the muslin cloth. I'm very excited to give this a go!
I actually picked a product from a brand I've never really heard of before, but I've used a Vichy radiance serum and absolutely loved it, so I was interested in trying Orico's offering too. The Transcend Marine Radiance Serum boasts results of illuminating the skin whilst plumping and hydrating, so perfect if you're skin is a little dull or dehydrated. I've got a real thing for serums at the moment, so this sounds like it'll be a lovely one to add to the clan. You Beauty usually offer discounts on the full sizes if you've liked the sample, which is a nice little extra too.
As well as the products I selected, something from the Vintage Cosmetic Company was sent out in each box. By the looks of it you could have been sent false eyelashes, tweezers or toe separaters. I'm pretty happy with mine as I've never worn false lashes, and I already have a set of tweezers from the brand. They also sent out a couple little sachets of tea which sounds so lovely, especially the mint one! As always this box was fantastic value for money, and I'm really looking forward to next months Organic & Natural box.

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
Give us your cans, your toys
Collection barrels and boxes abound across campus for those inclined to support local charities. STANFORD'S NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY is teaming up with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe's Education and Youth Committee once again to sponsor a Christmas toy drive for needy Native American children. Last year, the Committee gave presents to more than 200 Native American children of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe – the group indigenous to San Francisco, San Mateo, northern Santa Clara and Alameda counties. Bring unwrapped new toys for children from infancy to 18 years old to one of the locations listed below by Dec. 4. The Committee will pick them up and wrap them in time to distribute to children this weekend. For more information, call (650) 725-6944.
Collection box locations:
- Native American Cultural Center (524 Lasuen Mall)
- Muwekma-Tah-Ruk, the Native American Theme House (543 Lasuen Mall)
- Archaeology Center (Building 500, 488 Escondido Mall)
- Branner Hall (655 Escondido Road – lounge)
- Cantor Arts Center/Stanford Museum (Staff Entrance, lower level)
- Career Development Center (563 Salvatierra Walk)
- Facilities Operations (Bonair Siding)

THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS is collecting unwrapped gifts for InnVision, a comprehensive service provider for un-housed and at-risk individuals and families on the peninsula. Collection barrels are located on the first floor of Building 170, the Press Building at 425 Santa Teresa Street and in the first floor lobby of the Francis C. Arrillaga Alumni Center through Dec. 11.
THE SLAC NATIONAL ACCELERATOR LABORATORY is lending its support to local food banks. Look for donation barrels for non-perishable food items in Buildings 15, 40, 41, 48, 50, 120, 137 and the Linear Café. If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, you can do so by going to the Second Harvest Virtual Food Drive website. There, choose "companies with 250 or more employees" from the menu, then scroll to SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The special ID number is 47748.

(WBIR-West Knox County) A sinkhole sent crews rushing to an affluent neighborhood in West Knox County, working to stabilize the property.
The sinkhole opened up Thursday night, next to the driveway of the home, located on Polo Club Lane, down the street from the Gettysvue Country Club building.
According to D&D Underground LLC, the sinkhole had grown four feet deeper since it opened, and was about 18-feet-deep and 30-feet-round Friday afternoon. Utility workers said it swallowed a 25-foot-tall tree.
Jim Snowden, Deputy Director of Knox County Engineering and Public Works, said it's not the first sinkhole to open in the upscale neighborhood.
"Over on Double Eagle Lane, which is a street in here, there was a sinkhole that opened up," said Snowden. "This is the second one in this subdivision that I'm aware of. And obvioulsy East Tennessee has a lot of limestone, and it's common place."
Crews said the homeowner could not get cars out of the garage, worried the driveway would collapse.
While geotech experts surveyed the damage, utility crews worked on a burst water pipe. Officials were not sure whether the broken pipe caused the sinkhole, or the sinkhole caused the line to burst.
"It's too early to speculate," said Bruce Giles, with First Utility District. "Unfortunately with the topography in East Tennessee, I think it's (sinkholes) pretty common. We deal with it on construction sites and I've talked to residents here and they're aware of other issues as well."
Residents said one of those issues is caves. The Knoxville Fire Department has responded to a couple of rescues, in 2002 and 2009, where cavers were stuck near the Gettysvue Country Club building. It was unclear if the caves go back as far as the property.
As for the damage, crews said preliminary estimates showed repairs could cost at least $100,000.
Tennessee and Florida are states that require insurance companies to provide sinkhole coverage. Local agents said the amount of coverage and what is covered varies, depending on the carrier. Some have low limits, like $5,000 per claim. Others have special criteria that must be met in order to qualify for coverage.
"I recommend that everyone calls their agent and asks what their policy covers," said Mike Lewis, with State Farm Insurance.
"Hopefully they found it (the sinkhole) soon enough and they can address it without further damage to the home," said Snowden.

Raven-Symone wants fans happy in their skin
Actress Raven-Symone has been in the acting world since she first appeared at the age of 3 as Olivia on "The Cosby Show." Since she stole the hearts of millions in the 90s, she has gone on to find success on both kids shows and on the big screen, all with little drama and no trouble with the law. However, one aspect of the industry she isn't shy about voicing her opinion on is the media's obsession with stars' weight.
According to BET, Raven-Symone is fed up with how the media has shaped the country into being obsessed with being a size 0, which is an unhealthy way to think. Instead of being happy about her recent weight loss, she is upset that it has garnered so much attention.
"I'm not amazed. It was kind of irritating, because I didn't really do it to get attention," Raven-Symone told The Huffington Post. "I didn't really do it on purpose."
The actress also told the publication that she is irritated by how important looks are in today's society and how she wishes everyone could feel comfortable in their own skin, wearing whatever hip hop clothes, dresses or ensembles a person likes.
"We're in a society based on beauty. We have fast-food commercials followed by a [weight-loss] commercial, so I can understand the fascination," Raven-Symone told the publication. "The way we function in society - it doesn't make sense sometimes because it's all based on how you look and then how badly you should feel after you eat the food we just advertised. And then when someone in the public eye goes up or down, it's like a major moment."
The 26-year-old is currently starring on Broadway in the musical adaptation of the popular film "Sister Act."
