Just thought I would put in my two cents, LTE is really not that important, I have Wifi available pretty much everywhere plus if I really need LTE I could always link to my cellphone for LTE service. I really don't want to give AT&T another $10 for the occasional use of LTE.
If I put the important things to me:1: The screen has to be exceptional2: A port extender to connect to an external screen and keyboard when available - The extender stays stationary, the V moves3 - An output for presentation mode, I know the port replication is there on thunderbolt4 - A swappable hard disk, memory and disk not soldered in, this is for field upgradable capabilities at some time in the future. It would really be nice if the CPU was field upgradable as well so when the V8 of the chip is available, it could be field swapped in
That's it really
Hi @mcalbala!
That's some great insight by your opinion! I've really liked seeing your reasoning what you like the most / dislike the most and spun that into it's own little thread
Would be neat seeing your opinion over there as well
(Just my personal 2 cents)
Thank you guys - I am very curious as well to see if I am the lone wolf or if others have similar opinions
Just thought I'd let you know that RAM and SSD are soldered in the V. I don't like it either, especially the SSD since i see absolutely no reason to solder that on.
I think it really depends on where you live Here you can get a data-only unlimited plan for 6eur/month, it's just limited to 10Mbps. But that's already quite good. And it's actually cheaper than extending your phone plan Here are some links:
As you can see, by extending your phone plan by the same amount, you only get 4GB. That is... nothing when using on a computer
You live in the great country - check Canadian prices ...
I know, I know... I'm just saying that this feature has potential. It all depends on what prices you have. But have you looked into data-only plans? It's possible that they're still cheaper than phone plans.
Totally agree with OP here. While some people may be able to get good deals on LTE, a large majority of people can't... I'm always carrying my phone with me, and I have a very nice contract on it.
I'm alright with there being an LTE option if enough people want it, but the one thing I don't want is for it to be made a permanent addition. I ain't paying extra for something I'll never use.
Follow Apple's and many other manufacturers examples. Give a wifi only and LTE option; they'll both sell well if they're priced correctly!
I agree with paulinus. I will choose to by LTE. In my Place (Germany:de:) I dont pay no cent more if I use one or two or ... sims.
t pay no cent more if I use one or two or ... sim
$10 a month, which comes allows me to use my collective data allotment. But I can also tether to my phone ,which makes my phone look like a wifi hotspot, albeit only LTE. But it serves the same purpose, doesn't degrade anything and doesn't give AT&T another $10 every month because there is another device in the account.
Ok, but then you have to buy an unlimited plan for your phone. An alternative would be to have 1GB/month on your phone account, saving you (let's say) $15, and then having a separate SIM card, can be from a different operator, for network only (let's say $10). You still save $5 and you get rid of the download limit at the same time
I have a shared 15 GB plan, the SIM in my car, my phone, my wife's phone and my daughter's phone collectively share in that 15 GB. The non phone connections are $10 each. I get no additional bandwidth, only permission to use another device. But tethering also serves the same purpose and costs nothing.
Well, you can always use another operator for data.
In other countries, data only contracts do not necessarily come at reasonable prices. Plus adding a contract where you have a family plan already that most probably covers all the data you need (e.g. you might get 15GB, whether you use it up or not, but no smaller version is available) adds costs without needing it.I agree that LTE for some is not important in a tablet/2-in-1... and I include myself here (wherever I need it, I have Wifi, and if I don't but it's urgent and my phone is too small I can tether.
Well, I wouldn't be able to live with 15GB on my computer but if I had a separate SIM card for it, I'd gladly pay some extra per month to have unlimited data on it. I know I know, it depends on the country. But there are lots of countries where this is important.
That's 15 GB of LTE, plus unlimited Wifi where it is available.
Yeah I heard you. But that's like.. nothing
Fortunate you that you life in a country where you get more from your providers... but let me tell you, it startet unlimited in some other countries too, now they are reducing / capping it. In the US e.g. they cut the cord for my internet (via cable) after 1TB of downloads per month - and here we are talking the real in-home stuff. I'm hoping there's enough competition that for LTE/5G it goes in the other direction and they jack up the contained data volumes.
Ok, I already know how shitty American internet is. But I was saying that US is not the only country in the world... There are lots of cases where LTE is useful
lol if you think it's bad in America, you should see Canada! There are many parts of Canada still using dial-up! (mostly remote northern communities) The CRTC (the group that regulates broadcasting and telecom) has just declared broadband a "basic" service, so hopefully all those poor sods on 56K dialup will finally be able to use the internet within the next 10-15 years.

South Carolina media outlets report that Governor Nikki Haley will be coming to Wisconsin to campaign on behalf of Governor Scott Walker.
The Charleston Post and Courier reports there's no love lost between Haley and labor unions in the Palmetto State.
Haley frequently lambasts unions in the Palmetto State, and union leaders have in turn gone after the governor.
A video shot over the weekend of S.C. AFL-CIO President Donna Dewitt taking a baseball bat to a piñata emblazoned with the first-term governor's face made waves online Tuesday.
Haley's trip will come just a month after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie campaigned here for Walker.

A wheel moves because of the axle, and the wheel hub connects both parts to make the system fully functional. Your trailer's wheel hubs are as important as the wheels themselves, and therefore requires the same maintenance. Failing to do so might cause difficulty in steering or result in a broken axle.
The wheel hub has studs that corresponds to the number of holes, or lug bolts of the wheel, which makes it possible for the hub to connect it to the axle. On either side of the wheel hubs are bearings, both inner and outer, which are basically cylindrical pieces packed with grease to reduce friction. It's important, therefore, to keep the wheel hub adequately lubricated to avoid excessive heat due to friction, and this is where a grease cap, or a dust cap, comes in. It keeps the grease in and dust out, because dust and water can impede the performance of a wheel hub.
In replacing a wheel hub, count the number of studs or lug bolts on one wheel, which can be as many as four to five bolts per wheel. If the wheel has even-numbered studs, you can start measuring the distance between two opposite bolts. If the wheel has five studs, however, measure the distance between two opposite bolts (disregarding the bolt that will come in between) and multiply the measurement by 1.0515.

Oil, Gas Investment to Grow in 2017 for First Time since Price Crash
The oil and gas investment cycle will show the first signs of growth in 2017 since the oil price crash in 2014 and new projects in the upstream industry will double compared to 2016, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
"2017 will demonstrate how efficient the oil and gas industry has become, showing projects in better shape all round," Malcolm Dickson, a principal analyst for Upstream Oil and Gas for Wood Mackenzie, said.
According to Wood Mackenzie's global upstream outlook for 2017, exploration and production spend is set to rise by 3 percent to $450 billion.
"This is still 40 percent below the heady days of 2014 … but for all the pain of the downturn a leaner industry is starting to emerge," Wood Mackenzie said in a company statement.
The number of final investment decisions (FID) will rise to more than 20 in 2017, compared with nine in 2016, Wood Mackenzie reported.
"This is still well short of the 2010-2014 average of 40 a year, but these are generally smaller, more efficient projects, and capex per barrel of oil equivalent averages just $7 per barrel, down from $17 per barrel for the 2014 projects," a Wood Mackenzie spokesperson said.
The impending growth is also good for jobs in the sector, Dickson told Rigzone.
"Rising oil and gas investment is generally good news for jobs, in terms of safe-guarding existing roles and creating new ones. For oil companies, these will be associated with new projects, and on the supply chain side, for the delivery of required kit," Dickson said.
In its new report, Wood Mackenzie predicts that deepwater projects will spring back to life in 2017, but warns that more cost cutting is needed in the long run.
"Projects slated for FID in 2017 are largely looking good, but the longer-term deepwater pipeline is more challenged. Of the 40 larger pre-FID deepwater projects, around half fail to hit 15 percent IRR (internal rates of return) at $60 a barrel," a Wood Mackenzie spokesperson said.
The report also warns against tax increases on the upstream industry and advises governments to change uncompetitive fiscal regimes.
"Some governments will be tempted to increase tax rates, but those with uncompetitive fiscal regimes will have to make changes to ensure they can attract still-scarce new capital," Graham Kellas, senior vice president of global fiscal research at Wood Mackenzie, said.
"Getting the risk-reward balance right will be a critical factor in attracting scarce investment capture in 2017," he added.

The Loving Spirit Paperback
by Daphne Du Maurier
Part of the Virago Modern Classics series
Cornwall, 1900s. Plyn Boat Yard is a hive of activity, and Janet Coombe longs to share in the excitement of seafaring: to travel, to have adventures, to know freedom. But constrained by the times, instead she marries her cousin Thomas, a boat builder, and settles down to raise a family.Janet's loving spirit - the passionate yearning for adventure and for love - is passed down to her son, and through him to his children's children. As generations of the family struggle against hardship and loss, their intricately plotted history is set against the greater backdrop of war and social change in Britain. Her debut novel, The Loving Spirit established du Maurier's reputation and style with an inimitable blend of romance, history and adventure.

Review by rainpebble
I fell in love with this book just pages into it. "The Loving Spirit" is Daphne Du Maurier's first novel and amazingly enough I liked it better than quite a few of her latter ones.The story is a very romantic tale told through four generations of the Coombe family. And the author has thusly broken it into four books to offset each generation. It's all about the sea and the land and what draws one to the sea and how it can be or become generational. She quotes Emily Bronte several times throughout the book and one can definitely see the influence of that author within this one. Book 1: Janet Coombe; the main character wishes she had been born a lad and wants the freedom to do all the things that are acceptable to lads but not lasses. She wants desperately to go to sea and only menfolk can go to sea. In this book she also tells of Janet and a much older male cousin becoming intimate friends, which is frowned upon by her father. Janet marries Thomas, a shipbuilder and as they have their family she develops a strange relationship with one of her sons, Joseph right from birth. It is as if they are tele-connected in some way that she is not with her other children.Book 2: Joseph Coombe; the main character in this book is the intimate son of Janet. He does what his mother wanted to do and could not. He becomes a sea faring man. He sails the seas in a family built ship named after his mother and called the "Janet Coombe". The figurehead is also a likeness of his mother. Joseph seems to feel his mother's presence with him as he is sailing.Book 3: Christopher Coombe; the main character in this book is the son of Joseph Coombe and desires, as his father wishes for him, to become a seafaring man and take over skippering the "Janet Coombe". However he finds it not to his liking and jumps ship in London. He works, marries, has children, and writes home about his life but his father cannot forgive him for abandoning the sealife and disowns him to self and family. His sister, after some many years writes to him of his father's sickness and Christopher decides to take his family and return home to Plyn, Cornwall.Book 4: Jennifer Coombe; the main character in this book, Jenny, is the daughter of Christopher Coombe and was only six years old when her father died. And yet it falls to her to bring the family back together to a productive life and to finish the "Coombe" saga.This is a romantic, adventure of the highest kind. There is something for everyone in this book. I loved it and cannot wait to read it again one day soon.
Review by Kasthu
The Loving Spirit is the story of four generations of a shipbuilding family in 19th and early 20th century Cornwall. More specifically, the focus is one four members of the family: Janet, who's story covers the period between 1830 and 1863; her son, Joseph (1863-1900); his son Christopher (1888-1912); and his daughter, Jennifer (1912-1930).From the bleak Cornwelian landscape to London and back to Cornwall, Daphne Du Maurier weaves a fascinating story, heralding some of the novels that later made her famous. What I love about Du Maurier's novels is that she really knew how to tell a compelling story.While I didn't quite buy the spiritual connection between Janet and her son Joseph (which supposedly also connects Christopher and Jennifer but gets dropped partway through the novel), I did enjoy the development of these characters over time. I love great family sagas, and only wish that this book had been longer and some of the characters more developed, particularly Jennifer, whose story got a bit rushed at the end. Also, the villain character was a little too stereotypical for my taste.But otherwise, I really enjoyed this novel, particularly the author's descriptions of Cornwall in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The plot moves swiftly, and Du Maurier does a fantastic story of contrasting the lives of the Coombe family against greater social and political events. Although not her best novel, this one is definitely a must for anyone who's read Du Marier's more famous novels, such as Rebecca and Jamaica Inn.
Review by moonshineandrosefire
Janet Coombe is a victim of her time and gender. She longs to know the wildness and freedom of the sea-faring life, but in Cornwall of the early 1800s, all that Janet may do is marry and raise a family. She ends up marrying her cousin, a staid ship-builder and raising six children with him. Janet is overjoyed when her boy Joseph, fulfills her secret dreams and becomes a sailor, eventually captaining his own ship - a ship built by his brothers - named the Janet Coombe. Through the trials, tribulations and tragedies which strike her family, Janet holds on to her lively and loving spirit and passes that on to the later generations. I really enjoyed this book, Daphne du Maurier's debut novel. I give it an A+!
Review by booketta
This wonderful début novel from Dapne du Maurier, written in 1929 and first published in 1931, puts her on the map amongst the greatest of British writers. This story is set in du Maurier's beloved Cornwall, not far south from Plymouth. A story which spans generations of one particular family. What I love about this author's novels are the settings, the descriptions which always evoke visualisation for me. I could see Janet Coombe standing on the clifftop, I could see her son Joseph commanding his schooner, his brothers running the boatyard and the mean, dispirited younger brother Philip Coombe dishing out his malice. Without giving away too much detail and posting spoilers, I won't divulge anymore. However, we are given the history of the Coombe's from Janet as a young maid about to marry through to her great granddaughter, Jennifer. As the story unfolds, we get to know the strong, longing for the sea that runs through the generations. I picked this copy up in the library sale for 20 pence, it was the first time I had heard of this book written by du Maurier. Not one of the well known novels such as Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek and Jamaica Inn, but well worth reading, particularly for fans of this author.

How do I keep reporters on subject when interviewing a celebrity spokesperson?
When we book interviews with radio reporters and producers, we communicate with them to determine boundaries for the interview. We work with them to limit their questions concerning the personal lives of the celebrity to two or three questions.
Most of the time, reporters respect our request. They understand that while they may want to talk to a spokesperson because they are a celebrity, they also know the interview was booked to discuss a particular issue. While it is fine to ask a few questions outside of the subject matter, reporters are typically good about discussing the subject matter at hand as well.
We understand that there is give and take in this situation and we work with the stations and our spokesperson to ensure that both of their needs are met. In the rare circumstance that an interview goes terribly astray, we simply won't pitch an interview with that station in the future.

I'm so irritated that I really just need to vent. I know that this rant is going to make me sound like a horrible stepmom and honestly I'm alright with that at this point. So the deal is dh has primary custody of his son, the visitation schedule is two weeks here and two weeks at biomom's. Currently my stepson is here and will be for another long week of hell.
So to be honest I really don't like my stepson in fact I can't stand him. The kid will be two in a few weeks and is a living nightmare. I spend the whole two weeks absolutely miserable and counting down the days when I get to send him away and then I spend the two weeks without him dreading his return. I know those are some pretty harsh things to say about kid so young but he has got to be the spawn of Satan. I have never met a child as destructive as he his, violent, aggressive and whiny and the kid doesn't talk at all oh wait he does say mama and shoes other than that he whines for EVERYTHING. He lacks any sense of independence and is constantly up my butt or he's busy throwing things at and hitting my girls. Nap time and bedtime are insane the kid sits in his room and screams at the top of his lungs every time he's put down EVERY TIME!! and he has done this since we started getting visitation when he was about 7 months - he just doesn't get it, bedtime is not a new event in his life he should be over it by now. That's just a portion of how horrible this kid is.
Due to his insane, destructive behavior I can't get a crib for my new baby since the plan was for the two of them to share a room. But I know if I put a crib in there the little brat will destroy it like he did his own bed and dresser. My room is too small to fit a crib so my poor baby is going to have to sleep in a playpen for I don't even know how long - until we can find a bigger place I guess or if hell freezes over and my stepson can stop acting like a wild animal.
I'm really nervous about how he's going to react to the new baby I can totally see him walking up to him and throwing crap at him like he does my girls. Right now I have the girls home to help out and fortunately because their school is being rebuilt school won't start until Sept 6 so I get a whole extra month with them to help me out but after that it's just me and I am freaking out.
I know that all sounds horrible of me to feel the way I do I just can't help it. I don't mistreat him or anything like that so please don't think that but I also don't go out of my way to play with him, if he can manage to behave (which is rare) I give him lots of positive attention but when he acts 'normal' (evil and possessed) I can't even look at him and I ignore him his whining. I just don't know what to do about this kid, I don't know how to not dislike him. I know the twos suck, they really do I wasn't crazy about my own kids at that age and they weren't any where near as bad as he is. I know a big problem is that I am in no way bonded to this child and I honestly don't even know if I really love him so his horrid behavior angers me so much more than it would if he was my bio kid. I guess in reality there's not much I can do just live in misery or take up drinking after the baby's born. Sorry that was so long thanks for listening.

This is going to be a quick little impression and not a full review as we want to have a chance to have a longer visit than our impromptu one we had on a recent evening. We had attended a meeting and had a little time before we had to be back to get the kids so we decided to head out and grab a drink. Mrs. Nom mentioned that we should give Grane Whiskey Dispensary and Craft Cocktail a try as we were in the midtown area.
Grane is a fairly recent addition to the popular Midtown Crossing development and is the brainchild of the folks that brought us the great wine tasting store Brix where you can use the automated wine dispensing machines to sample various wines as you go. Grane Whiskey takes the automated wine dispensing technology found at Brix to create a whiskey tasting bar where you can try 20-25 different whiskeys using the machines with out waiting for a bartender. There is also a traditional bar with an amazing selections of whiskeys arrayed on shelves behind the bar. The decor is reminiscent of a 1920's speakeasy, with exposed brick and wooden beams. The dark stained wood and dim warm lighting give the inside a comfortable cozy feeling that really harkens back to Prohibition. While the decor and focus on whiskeys and scotch feels very masculine, Mrs. Nom felt very comfortable and we noticed other couples enjoying the private nooks and comfortable lounges that are sprinkled around the space.
Not having a huge amount of time to hang out, we decided to take a seat at the bar and sample some of the craft cocktails. While we were looking at the menu, one of the staff came up and mentioned that they were having a special tasting that evening and we should definitely come over and check it out. We headed over to the lounge area where we had the chance to take part in what Grane is calling "Whiskey Wednesday" and try some free samples of three different types of Aberlour Single Malt Scotch, a 16 Year, an 18 Year and the A'bunadh, a cask strength scotch that is a very limited release.
We returned to the bar where we made our cocktail selections, with Mrs. Nom choosing the Main Squeeze from the house specialty menu while I chose the Mamie Taylor. The Main Squeeze was a gin based cocktail featuring Ransom's Old Tom gin, grape fruit and cardamom and a Deschutes IPA and a dash of hopped grapefruit bitters. Slightly sweet with a bright citrus bite, the IPA gave the drink had a nice hoppy bite that balanced out the sweetness of the gin and grapefruit.
My selection, the Mamie Taylor, was from the Whiskey classics section and featured Monkey Shoulder blended scotch, ginger beer and a lime. This drink was a smooth drinking cocktail with a nice bit of malty sweetness that complimented the sweet and spicy ginger beer and the tang of the lime. Served in a highball glass with a lime wheel garnish, the aroma of the lime really enhanced the interplay of scotch and ginger.
Grane is definitely one of those places we are going to have to return to check out and do a more thorough exploration of, as we didn't have a chance to try any of the small plates or many of the cocktails. It definitely would be a great spot for a nice evening drink or a classy guys night out.

Tycoon involved in multi-million divorce fight found impaled below £3m luxury penthouse
BANKRUPT property tycoon Scot Young has died after being found impaled on iron railings following a 60ft fall from his luxury London penthouse.
Officers from Westminster are still on the scene, left, where Scot Young died, right
Mr Young, 52, was known for fighting a very acrimonious six-year divorce battle with his estranged wife Michelle at the High Court and died on Monday evening.
Earlier this year he was jailed for six months for failing to provide details of his alleged £400million fortune to his estranged wife and was accused of hiding his "vast fortune" overseas.
The property magnate's body was found impaled on railings below his luxury fourth-floor home in London's Marylebone, which he shared with his American girlfriend Noelle Reno.
Today, a devastated Ms Reno said she was "distraught by the sudden loss of my best friend" before requesting privacy "to grieve in peace".
Mrs Young had earlier told The Telegraph: "This started at 11pm last night.
"I am with my daughters, we have been to hell and back."Eyewitnesses described the scene in Montagu Square as "horrific".
I heard a big bang, like a bottle hitting the floor and smashing. My five-year-old son saw and said 'Mummy, there's a dead man'
The woman, who did not wish to be named, explained: "I was walking down the street and was about five car lengths away when I heard a big bang, like a bottle hitting the floor and smashing.
"The next thing I saw was a man there on the railings."
The mother, believed to be in her 30s, added: "Even my five year old son saw and said 'Mummy, there's a dead man.'
"I think he's OK despite what he saw.
"I told him there wasn't and walked him up the street and out of sight before calling the police.
"The man was definitely impaled but I couldn't see much because it was so dark and I didn't want to look.
"It was horrible, I'm still in shock."
A unnamed neighbour also described the harrowing incident, which took place just after 5pm.
Bankrupt property tycoon Scot Young died after plummeting 60ft from his London property
Michelle Young, 49, called her £20million payout from property tycoon Scot Young a "disgrace"
They said: "It is horrific and very sad. My cleaners were here and saw the man's body. They were traumatised.
"It was a very gruesome scene. The body was hanging there for a while.
"Police covered it with a tent straight away when they arrived but quite a few people must have seen it.
"I could not look, I was horrified."
Mr Young had a 17-year relationship with Mrs Young and they had two daughters but separated in 2006.
Over the years, he built up a substantial business empire and owned assets including a home in London, a mansion in Oxfordshire and other properties around the world.
He was once said to be worth £400million but claimed to have been bankrupted since his split with Michelle, saying he owned debts of £28million.

Scot Young fell from the fourth floor onto the railings
In November last year, Mr Justice Moor assessed Mr Young to be worth £40million - after analysing evidence at a trial - and said he believed Mr Young's assets had been hidden abroad.
He ruled Mrs Young, who claimed her and her daughters had been left destitute, was entitled to half of that.
But in March he had not paid any of the £20million to 49-year-old Mrs Young and he was jailed for six months for being in contempt of court.
The judge described the litigation - which began more than six years ago - as "quite extraordinary".
He said over the years Mrs Young had run up a legal bill of more than £6million and employed 13 sets of lawyers and four teams of accountants.
Today Mrs Young had no comment over his death.
Mr Young and his American girlfriend Ms Reno, who describes herself as a "fashion entrepreneur" on her Twitter profile, appeared together in reality show Ladies Of London.
The programme is similar to the Real Housewives franchise and the final episode was aired earlier this month on ITVBe.
Firemen said they were called to the scene to help police officers cut through the 5ft metal railings with an angle grinder.
A London Fire Brigade spokesman said: "We had two fire engines and a fire response unit there.
"They had to cut through the railings.
"They are trained to deal with all different types of incidents."
A Met Police spokeswoman said: "Police were called to Montagu Square, W1, at 17:18 hours on Monday, 8 December, to reports of a man having fallen from a fourth floor window.
"A man, believed aged in his early 5Os, was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.
"A scene remains in place at the location. Officers from Westminster are on scene."

We were lucky enough to have two crops in August, so two kits and two sketches.
I'm up today on UK Scrap Addicts with a page featuring our topic this month of clustering. Why not pop over to see how I made my page?
You might also want to check out this month's challenge which has a £30 prize voucher for the winner from sponsors
Here is the sketch I did for our crop last weekend and the page I made with the crop kit.
The journalling explains that, as any mini owner will know, minis attract each other in car parks. On this occasion I returned to find Gertie's twin parked next to her. She is a two-seater Mini Roadster and there aren't many of those about.
Here's my page for the first of the July sketches at Stuck?! Sketches. The photos are of my great-niece, Beth, showing how much she has changed in the 11 months between the start of her reception year and the end.
When we were away in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago I did a lot of scrapping – it amazed me just how much I could get done with so little equipment! LOL
Anyway here's a few of them …
I thought I'd share a few more of the sketches I do for UK Scrappers. There's a new challenge on the website twice a month. I'm happy for anyone to use my sketches for other purposes, including challenges, but please make sure to mention Me&Mine and link back to my blog. Thank you. These are some older ones …
And these are the current challenges on UK Scrappers
This month on UK Scrap Addicts we are all about scrapping with large photos. There's a new post on the blog most days with lots of inspiration for you together with a challenge … to use large photos.
My monthly post is here. Do pop over and have a read and it'd be great if you entered the challenge while you are there. Sponsor Bramble Fox is offering a prize to one lucky entrant and there's a discount code for all UKSA readers!
Yay! It's back!
The challenge is here – hope you'll join in, too.
Do keep popping back to see how I'm doing finding these …

Identifying Risks in the Upcoming Year
Dear Subscribers,
Welcome to my first official commentary for 2006 and I hope every one of you had a great New Year's. I would like to take this opportunity again to thank you for all your support in 2005 and I sincerely wish all of you can stay with us going forward as we try to navigate these treacherous markets ahead. Remember - we are all still learning here. We get a lot of ideas from our subscribers and appreciate you for keeping me "honest," so to speak. Please continue to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com should you want to discuss some market issues or should you have any suggests for our website. Over the years, I have learned that you can't get anything (e.g. promotions, dates, etc.) if you don't ask. And if you do ask, chances are that you may be surprised!
We switched from a 25% short position in our DJIA Timing System on the morning of October 21st at DJIA 10,265 - giving us a gain of 351 points from our DJIA short on July 14th. On a 25% basis, this equates to a gain of 87.75 points. As of Sunday, January 8th, this market is starting to become overbought. However, this author believes that the market will still remain investor-friendly for the foreseeable future (at least over the next two weeks) - as the market has not become hugely overbought yet and liquidity remains ample. The key will be the January 31st Fed meeting and how investors choose to respond to the comments of that meeting and the official appointment of Ben Bernanke as the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Should the market continue to rally relentlessly in the next couple of weeks, there is a good chance we may go 50% short in our DJIA Timing System (our maximum allowable short position). Like I have mentioned before, I believe a DJIA print of 11,000 is now inevitable - our target to short is at around the 11,200 to 11,300 level. More details to follow in the days ahead. For now, we will remain completely neutral in our DJIA Timing System.
In our "ad hoc" commentary that I sent all of you on the day after New Year's Day, I reiterated the purpose and mission of our website and commentaries (for readers who would like a copy of that commentary, please email me) - that to keep our readers abreast of economic trends and to help our readers make the correct economic decisions - whether those decisions are related to investing, your career, or your formal education. Another good way to learn is to learn from each other - and the best way to do that is through our discussion forum. Going forward in 2006, I would like to see more of you posting messages in our discussion forum!
Our "ad hoc" commentary dealt with the broad economic trends that I envision for 2006 and possibly into 2007. I discussed the fact that I still see a U.S. dollar bull market in 2006 (although I would not discount some weakness in the U.S. dollar in the first few months of 2006 given that the market will need some time still to "digest" the appointment of Ben Bernanke as the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve), and my concerns regarding the upcoming decline of Mortgage Equity Withdrawal (MEW) and its adverse effects of GDP growth going forward. I would like to begin this commentary by identifying the risks to stock market investors in 2006. For investors who have been timing the markets in the last couple of years (and this includes me), 2006 may finally be the "year of living dangerously." That is, I believe that we will see some kind of market breakout in 2006. For traders who have been accustomed to shorting on overbought and going long on oversold situations, watch out. I believe there is a good chance we will see some kind of trend for 2006. My preferred scenario is to see a severe downside correction (greater than 10% in the S&P 500) first and then a huge recovery in the latter parts of the year. But since I never get precisely what I want when it comes to the stock market, I believe investors should just take it one day at a time here. For now, the environment still remains friendly for stock market investors.
For retail and professional investors alike, I believe reading Warren Buffett's letters to his shareholders is an invaluable exercise in terms of being successful in long-term investing. Let's take a look at what Warren Buffett had to say in his 2004 letter to shareholders:
Over the 35 years, American business has delivered terrific results. It should therefore have been easy for investors to earn juicy returns: All they had to do was piggyback Corporate America in a diversified, low-expense way. An index fund that they never touched would have done the job. Instead many investors have had experiences ranging from mediocre to disastrous.
There have been three primary causes: first, high costs, usually because investors traded excessively or spent far too much on investment management; second, portfolio decisions based on tips and fads rather than on thoughtful, quantified evaluation of businesses; and third, a start-and-stop approach to the market marked by untimely entries (after an advance has been long underway) and exits (after periods of stagnation or decline). Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful. [Emphasis mine]
So what is Warren Buffett saying? For most retail investors, holding a diversified portfolio of stocks (such as a S&P 500 index fund) has been the key to successful long-term returns. According to Buffett, market-timing (and chasing the hot stocks) has been generally detrimental to returns - since most investors can never be successful with adopting such a strategy. Nonetheless, as investors, we still choose to do it, despite the historical record.
So Henry, what are you trying to do - are you trying to shoot yourself in the foot? Definitely not. It is to be kept in mind that the market is always changing. What has worked in the past does not necessary work in the future. In fact, if something has worked in the past and if most people now know about it, then you can bet that it WILL NOT work in the future. According to "Mister Johnson," (written in 1976) the founder of Fidelity and the father of Ned Johnson: "The market … is like a beautiful woman - endlessly fascinating, endlessly complex, always changing, always mystifying. I have been absorbed and immersed since 1924 and I know this is no science. It is an art. Now we have computers and all sorts of statistics, but the market is still the same and understanding the market is still no easier. It is personal intuition, sensing patterns of behavior. There is always something unknown, undiscerned."
And according to Benjamin Graham in his classic "The Intelligent Investor," the returns from stock market investing are usually proportional to how much work you put in. As an example, witness the relative underperformance of the S&P 500 (and other major market indices that were popular for index funds in the late 1990s) in recent years relative to an equal weighting of the S&P 500 and international stocks. Basic indexing of the S&P 500 has worked in the past simply because it was not easy to replicate or popular to do so. This has drastically changed in the last six to seven years. This has two immediate implications for retail investors:
Basic indexing (for example, indexing one's portfolio to the S&P 500) will continue to lead to underperformance in the future. That is, the "alpha" that will be generated if one chooses the right stocks will be significant higher than they were 10 or 20 years ago. The age-old adage holds true in the stock market: There is no such thing as a free lunch. For those who think they can retire by just buying an S&P 500 fund going forward and dollar-cost averaging down (or up), I believe one will be severely disappointed.
If one wants to generate relatively good returns without investing in individual stocks, one will need to continue to time the markets going forward - and not just with the S&P 500 but with the whole universe of country and industry ETFs.
In general, I agree with Warren Buffett, but I believe the key to successful returns in the stock market for retail investors going forward is to try to pick good, solid companies trading at low valuations and holding them for the long-run (and constantly re-evaluating their prospects and sell them if the fundamentals have deteriorated). Our job here at MarketThoughts.com is to identify potential risks - whether those are industry-specific risks (such as in the energy or retail sectors), country-specific, or currency-specific. Once in awhile, timing the markets can be extremely rewarding - such as selling technology stocks in spring 2000, buying gold and silver in late 2000, or buying U.S. stocks in late 2002 and early 2003. And this is where we come in as well - using our sentiment indicators as well as our liquidity and valuation indicators.
Before I go on and outline a list of potential risks in 2006, let me emphasize my overarching theme: With the exception of energy, precious metals, real estate, and potentially retail stocks, the downside risks in 2006 is no longer with U.S. stocks. That is, any potential decline in the U.S. stock market will be only triggered by an external event - and if such an event did occur (such as a breakout of the Bird Flu pandemic) I believe on a relative basis, the U.S. stock market will be one of the best-performing markets in the world, including Japan. Let's now outline the "laundry list" of risks for 2006, in no particular order:
1) The appointment of Ben Bernanke as the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Whether your perception of Bernanke is an "inflation fighter" or "Helicopter Ben," I believe there will be quite an amount of uncertainty in the markets in 2006 as we all try to anticipate the world's second most powerful man's moves and policies going forward. For what it is worth, I believe his "helicopter speech" made on November 21, 2002 was severely taken out of context by the press, since virtually all his publications and speeches have been in favor of a specific, well-communicated "optimal long-term inflation rate" - as we have previously discussed in our October 27, 2005 commentary (The Ben Bernanke Grand Experiment). This perception of Ben Bernanke is unfortunate, since this will only add to the uncertainty of his policies in 2006.
2) As I discussed in our "ad hoc" commentary sent to our subscribers on January 2nd, I believe the decline of "Mortgage Equity Withdrawal" (MEW) would contribute to a significant decline in consumer spending - in the process shaving approximately 1% to 2% off annual GDP growth, excluding any multiplier effects. Given that 40% of all jobs created since 2001 is related to the real estate sector, however, we could ultimately end up in a vicious cycle (where the decline in consumer spending contributes to higher unemployment which further exacerbates the decline in consumer spending, and so on). Please keep in mind, however, that this author is only looking for a "mid-cycle slowdown," and not a full-blown recession. Folks who have a heavy weighting in the retail sector should be on the lookout - as growth in this sector should be directed affected by any upcoming slowdown in consumer spending. Given that P/E ratios have come down significantly in the last six years, however (WMT more than 50% and HD more than 70%), this may just ultimately end up as an anti-climax. In other words, could investors have already discounted an upcoming slowdown in consumer spending when it comes to retail stocks? Please note that the relative strength of the retailers (using the RTH HOLDR as a proxy) vs. the S&P 500 it now at its lowest level since March 2003. Going forward into 2006, we will continue to keep an eye out on the retail sector:
3) Readers should know that I have not been particularly bullish on emerging markets in the last few months. This remains the case in 2006 - given that emerging market spreads are now at their lowest in history. In other words, there is now a complete disregard for risk in emerging market investments. This can also been seen in the week-after-week inflows into emerging market funds (as opposed to small inflows into or even outflows out of domestic funds), as outlined by amgdata.com. The current favorable environment for emerging markets has even allowed Turkey (which is hitting the news as the first cases of Bird Flu are reported in the country) and Iraq to price their bonds for sale in the international markets. Let there be no mistake: Such pricings (with so much ease) can only occur in an environment of huge optimism. Finally, according to the publication "Triumph of the Optimists" (which contains the most comprehensive studies of the world's financial markets - much more so than Ibbotson's work), a diversified portfolio of world equities have actually returned less than a diversified portfolio of U.S. equities in the 20th century (on an absolute basis as well as a risk-adjusted basis). This remains true whether one looks at the first half or the second half of the 20th century. Is it different this time? Perhaps - but as a somewhat defensive/value investor, I am not going to bet on it. For readers who have a significant amount of emerging market securities, I encourage you to reevaluate your situation very carefully.

Shooting: The Musical Trailer (2014)
05 December 2014
This is a hilarious mockumentary about the travails facing film school graduates as they try to find money to mount their first features. A rather talentless would-be hack substitutes his own script for the work of a deceased roommate who actually has some financing in place, and the result is a hilariously tasteless film within a film High School Shootings -The Musical. Over a hundred Vancouver area film school graduates, friends and musicians worked on this film.

I'm looking for all those summer nights at the swamp
And I can't wait don't hesitate to be there
Living on green shark is what we'll do
And I can't speak oh what a week this has been
And it's so hot I might not be long today
Living on green shark just can't be the answer
Throwing off star stain
Going on Wednesday
Growing on caresses metered by a bossy U-snake
Throwing on tarps and
Going on Sunday
Throwing off torrential people
Don't consider it rude the way we came
On Tunnel Creek a wild man came to save the day
Hit lit a game but it's all the same to you
Living on green shark is what we'll do
And it's so close all the flies are less morose today
Done forty beds there's sugar peas for the boys to eat
Living in these parts don't take much banter
Extended Keywords: hippies traveler tourist holiday soulful ballad river swamps low country

Powered desktop speakers with Bluetooth®
Item # 807BTSPKR | MFR # AUD020004000104
This item is no longer available.
Our take on the Audyssey Wireless Speakers by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves
The Audyssey speakers use sophisticated technology to deliver outstanding audio performance from their compact form.
A passive bass radiator on the back of each cabinet ensures that the low end of your music comes through with presence and authority. And Audyssey's Dynamic EQ keeps all of your audio sources sounding properly balanced, whether you're listening to a tune from your smartphone or a movie from your computer.
Wireless and wired options
And a stereo minijack input is provided for your non-Bluetooth portables. That input can also be used for dual source listening. Connect your laptop via the auxiliary input, for example, and you can stream music wirelessly from your smartphone and hear e-mail alerts from your computer. Work and play at the same time!

Hands-on research
Product Research
Bluetooth Wireless Technology: The Audyssey Wireless Speakers feature built-in Bluetooth technology, so you can stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth (A2DP)-enabled device; such as your iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone/tablet. The Wireless Speakers give you the freedom to interact with your Bluetooth-enabled device while the music plays, so you can pick the next song from the palm of your hand.
Note: Your Bluetooth-enabled device must be paired with the Audyssey Wireless Speakers initially, before using the Bluetooth (A2DP) feature. Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Wireless Speakers.
Audyssey Technologies: The Audyssey Wireless Speakers deliver exceptional clarity, deep bass, and balanced sound for movies and music thanks to multiple Audyssey technologies.
- Audyssey BassXT: The Wireless Speakers feature Audyssey BassXT, which extends the bass response of small speakers to reproduce the lowest frequencies. The result is deeper bass.
- Audyssey EQ: These wireless speakers employ Audyssey EQ for clear, accurate, natural, and balanced sound.
- Audyssey Dynamic EQ: Audyssey Dynamic EQ maintains bass, clarity and surround sound at low volumes letting you enjoy late-night music & movies.
Digital Amp: The Right speaker is equipped with a built-in 2ch digital amplifier to power both speakers of the Audyssey wireless speaker system. Each speaker is equipped with spring clips terminals to connect the two speakers together, using the included 6.5' speaker wire.
Passive Bass Radiator System: Each Wireless Speaker is equipped with a 0.75" silk-dome tweeter, a 3" woofer, and a 4" passive bass radiator. The tweeter and woofer are front-firing, while the passive bass radiator is rear-firing. The speaker's passive bass radiator design and Audyssey's proprietary technologies enhance low frequency reproduction and bass performance.
Auxiliary Audio Input: With an analog 3.5 mm input, you can use the Wireless Speakers with your non-Bluetooth device; such as your TV, laptop, desktop, or portable MP3 player. The 3.5mm audio connection is located on the rear panel of the Right speaker.
Headphone Output: There is a front-panel 3.5mm headphone jack for connection of a set of headphones. The speaker's audio will be muted when a set of headphones is connected.
Front-Panel Volume Control: The Audyssey Wireless Speakers feature an easy access, front-panel, rotary volume control on the Right speaker.
Pedestal Stand: The Wireless Speakers feature integrated pedestal stands to rest the speakers on a desk, shelf, or counter-top.
AC Power Supply: The Wireless Speakers operate off of standard household AC current using the supplied AC power adapter and detachable AC power cord. The AC power adapter plugs into the back of the Right speaker.
- Input: 100-127V ~ 50-60Hz, 1.8A
- Output: 22V - 0.5A
Automatic Standby Mode: The Audyssey wireless speaker system enters into standby mode after approximately 15 minutes without a signal.

ENVIRONMENT Minister Greg Hunt is standing by the appointment of a self-confessed climate change sceptic to chair the federal government's review of the renewable energy target (RET).
Dick Warburton will head the review into the RET, which mandates that 20 per cent of all electricity come from renewable sources by the end of the decade.
Mr Warburton insists he is not a climate change denier but questions claims that man-made carbon dioxide is the major cause of global warming.
"I'm not a denier of that, but I am sceptical of that claim," he told ABC Radio on Tuesday.
He said he would keep an open mind and his personal views would not influence the review, which will assess the progress of RET, its impact on power prices and contribution to cutting emissions.
The environment minister defended Mr Warburton's credentials, pointing out that Labor had chosen him to head the business advisory council for their climate policy pre-dating the carbon tax.
"It doesn't matter (about) beliefs on a particular issue, both sides of government, both sides of the parliamentary debate, have appointed him to the most senior positions," Mr Hunt told ABC Radio.
The Australian Greens are less convinced, branding Mr Warburton one of Australia's "chief opponents" to effective global warming policy.
"I'm sure the global warming sceptics in the government think he is a marvellous choice to head up this anti-wind and anti-solar review," Greens leader Christine Milne said.
The government insists the outcome of the review is not pre-determined.
"No the target isn't going to be abolished, the renewable energy scheme isn't going to be abolished," he said.

If I go and check in preferences the mobile internet is turned on. Sometimes it works again if I turn off the connection in preferences and turn it on again. Is there any preference somewhere I can change ? ANy hints? PS. My old phone a HTC Cruise had much more reliable data connection. But Windows Mobile as OS was of course worse to use DS.

Sometimes chicks go out shopping and expecting nothing exciting to happen, but that's not the case with this one babe. On today's update, you will see Horny Amateur Blonde Sex Photos and you will know exactly what I am talking about. This babe was shopping just like any other day and when she was approached about getting cash for flashing her tits she was a bit hesitant at first. She soon opened up and that is when the real fun began. She couldn't stop showing off her sexy body which led to Jmac fucking her in the back of the store. This babe quickly stripped off her clothing and revealed a nice shaved pussy. Jmac slipped his cock deep inside of her and she loved every moment of it. Take a look at all the kinky things that these two did with one another simply by clicking the link below. While you are at it take a look at Chloe Brooke Money Talks-Sexual Appetite Photos.

DJ Mario
The Atlantic Corridor - Sundays 9-11p

He hosts The Atlantic Corridor, a world music show that showcases the hidden similarities between many unlikely musical genres from Western Africa and Eastern South America -- such as Maracatu, a rural rhythm from Northeastern Brazil which was actually originated as an investiture performance in the Congo.
In broader terms, a puzzling sonic affinity is equally observed between African folk from the 50s and 60s and Brazilian folk from the 70s to the 90s; that vast universe of music is what The Atlantic Corridor is all about!

SpeakerBox X - Sundays 1-3p
SpeakerBox X (SBX) was born out of love for underground hip hop. The reason for the name SpeakerBox is pretty self-explanatory. However, the letter X is commonly used to represent unknown circumstances and that is what SBX strives to deliver: hip hop that is unknown and unpredictable.
SBX seeks to spread awareness about the origins of hip hop and how it has evolved, as well as dispel negative viewpoints of the genre that have been perpetuated by mainstream culture and media.
Hip hop is a genre that has deep roots in revolution and community. It is the goal of SpeakerBox X to showcase songs that are socially conscious, radical and moving that you won't hear on corporate radio or see on the Billboard charts.
SBX also seeks to promote Tucson emcees, DJs, producers, breakers and graffiti artists and place the city on the map for pioneering the next elevation of hip hop in the nation and worldwide.
Hosted by Hip Hop Heads Drezz and VRIV.

Frank Chipotel and Tony BallZ
Radio Free Tucson - Saturdays 11a-1p
Although born in America, Frank Chipotel spent his formative years in England, tutoring under legendary British disc jockey John Peel. Peel referred to Chipotel as "The most exciting new voice in radio" on several occasions and was rumored to be grooming him as a replacement. Upon Peel's death in 2004, the BBC offered Peel's show to Chipotel, which he turned down, preferring to return to the States and "do his own thing."
Tony BallZ was one of the first DJs on the original post-World War II Radio Free Europe in Berlin, before moving on to Radio Free South Africa, Radio Free New Zealand, Radio Free Galapagos, Radio Free Antarctica, and dozens of others. At the end of the Cold War, BallZ relocated to the States to "do his own thing." He made significant contributions to groundbreaking pirate station KWHY before assuming the Herculean task of program director at the mighty and world-renowned Radio Free Flagstaff.
After the much-publicized and untimely demise of Radio Free Flagstaff, Tony BallZ combined forces with Frank Chipotel in the Radio Free Tucson project, representing, "The culmination of our individual experiences into a coherent whole, combined with an eye on the future of the broadcast medium and the desire to rock out."

La Mari
Tumba Muros - Saturdays 9-11a
You grow up here and you grow up there. You listen to your grandparents' albums and 8-tracks — Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Edie Gorme y Los Panchos, Javier Solis, Tigers of the North and Agustín Lara — and then those sounds start coming undone with a healthy dose of Solid Gold, MTV, and Casey Kasem.
But there's something you long for and then one day you hear it. You hear something familiar, but not copycat, and not weakly derivative, but different — from Soda Stereo, Café Tacuba, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Kinky, Manu Chao, Estopa — and holy $hit, this is it and it keeps coming and there's so much new stuff that it's overwhelming, you just can't keep up and instead you rejoice.
And you are lucky that for an hour a week, you can share the Carla Morrisons and Marlis, and Girl in a Coma, and System Solars — especially here in Tucson, where so many times and people come together. ¡Órale!
Laura Milkins
The Depression Session - Sundays 12-12:30p
Laura Milkins is a multimedia, interactive performance artist, living in Tucson and teaching Art and Visual Culture at Pima Community College since 2012.

Mama Taina
Rock Mix - Mondays 1-3p
The Esperanto Zone - Sundays 7-9p
Mama Taina is a radical queer cripactivist of color who never met a piece of music she didn't like (except super-commercial country and "light" jazz). She is a recovering academic who adores amphibians, cephalopods, tortoises, marsupials, and sloths. Mama Taina would like to dismantle the stranglehold of capitalism and patriarchy on our world but has trouble parallel parking and keeping her life organized. She secretly practices music magic. She may be transforming you even now.
The Esperanto Zone is a very small place with a very large idea: world music is our common heritage. We play new and older music, all genres ranging from classical to hip hop, as long as they serve as postcards from human relatives we haven't met yet. We also play regional/ethnic music from the United States that is not viable within corporate radio, such as First Nations, Tex-Mex, polkas, zydeco and cajun.
Instead of consuming human blood to stay young, Mama Taina hosts The Rock Mix on Mondays from 1 to 3 PM, thus keeping up with "what the kids are listening to."

Massive Irrelevance
Metal - Fridays 9-11p
Massive Irrelevance is an eclectic ensemble of angry, aggressive, vicious metal tempered with stoner, doom and gloom metal. Neither "lollypop" or "flatulence" metal shall be tolerated. But, from time to time, statistical anomalies will be injected to ensure maximum entropy and confusion.

Michael Newman
Rock Mix - Thursdays 11a-1p
Michael hosts the Thursday midday show, Horse Music.
Hailing from Arizona, but having just returned from the Pacific Northwest, Michael has a great fondness for the desert and couldn't resist giving his show a title suggestive of the cowboy scene.
Consider it a mix of pop/rock/shoegaze/r&b, but with roots.
Michael was formerly owner/booking agent for The Waypost in Portland, and a drummer/lounge singer. Now he's hoping to lend two hands toward reforming the justice system in this country.
Peace and love to you listeners!

Moink's Madhouse - Saturdays 3-5p
Moink has two shows. One is his rock 'n' roll mix show, which features everything from lesser-known classic rock songs to current indie-rock material with some classic metal and punk thrown in for good measure.
The other is Moink's Madhouse, in which Master Moink plays classic psychedelic rock, neo-psychedelia, golden nuggets, forgotten gems, and bits of the bizarre -- basically anything to make your head expand and retract in rhythm to the colors of the sound. Well worth the cost of turning on the radio.

Rock Mix - Wednesdays 5-7p
Satan, aka Brian Taraz, has been in Tucson about 10 years now. Lovin it lovin it.
A little bit of theatre acting here, a little bit of scripture music busking there. Dad by day, your ever loving wax spinning (or mp3 clicking) dj Wednesday nights.
It's the middle of the week. That twilight time. A chance to make your week continue magically, or get it back to magical, by trying to listen to the rhythms of our little pueblo and translate that into mild chat and lots of good music. Of course - sometimes Satan gets a little bit distracted and goes on a tangent here and there. But not too much on Wed. Maybe if We (yes, the royal "we" - hee, hee) behave, and can dial in the logistics, we'll see if we can't have a little more exploratory metaphysics in the late night.
For now - its good times and lots of love.

Schuniverse - Tuesdays 8-10p
The Schuniverse is a vast and expansive place, and only vast and expansive music can encapsulate something of such magnitude.
By vast and expansive, of course, we mean really, really long. Like the Schuniverse, it ebbs, it flows, and it transitions. It embraces the occasional Moog organ. And maybe a flute now and again. And guitar, and keyboards, and well, whatever infinite instrumental possibility permeates the creative sphere.
Progressive rock is the Schuniverse. Itself a vast, expansive genre that stretched and inspired the musical imagination, and often didn't know how to edit itself until a song played through its, well, progression. That last part at least makes selecting tracks reasonably easy, since on some weeks six songs could encompass the entire two-hour playlist set.
From classic prog artists such as Jethro Tull, Genesis, King Crimson and Rush, to neo-prog masters Marillion, IQ and Pendragon, to newer artists such as Opeth who cut their teeth in metal, the Schuniverse blankets the spectrum with musical genius. Musical wonder. Musical miracles.
As varied as the stars in the Old Pueblo sky, the artists that adorn the Friday night aural canvas will open one's senses to new possibilities. They are the musicians who made it a point to go boldly where others had not. Where others would not. They are the pioneers who continue to push the boundaries, from what we know to the dark flow we have yet to discover.
This is The Schuniverse.

The Man
Yellow Snow - Saturdays 7-9a
Yellow Snow is a two hour alternative jam session hosted by The Man, the only DJ in the observable universe who is somehow more confusing than the music he plays.
The diverse auditory pickings brought to you each week consist of raw indie tunes for those rock 'n' rollers, catchy beats for those looking for some wholesome hooks, melancholy laments for those heartbroken yet unforgotten, and defiant righteous indignations for those who get their thrills through rebellious spirit.

Channel X - Wednesdays 9-11p
Troy Olson (or "TROLL" to his Frenemies and old school progenitors) is a musical bon vivant and vinyl historian of aural mayhem and underground cacophony! Notorious hanger-on and raucous purveyor all things audiosyncratic, he has abused the kindness of a multitude of local bands, musicians and talent throughout his tenuous career (if schmoozing and drinking count as a trade)!
Starting as a house DJ at the now defunct PINK CADILLAC CAFE with 'Associated Sound Systems' (A.S.S.) from its inception to close, he tutored (tortured?) with local luminaries SPYDER RHODES and later PAUL SAINZ as he plied his craft of wax villainy, then branched out to MUDBUGGS/The ROCK, RUNES CAFE, CLUB CONGRESS, CLUB CHAOS, NEW ORLEANS NIGHTCLUB, The UNDERGROUND, and a host of other unsuspecting venues throughout the years! As he always says "Play with the BEST, die like the REST!" ... it doesn't make any sense but then, he never had any to start with.
If any omissions have taken place, it's not surprising. He can barely remember what he had for breakfast, let alone what he may or may NOT have MAYBE done at some possible time in the foggy past. MAYBE.

Indie Rock - Mondays 7-9p
Xan Solo
Indie Discotheque - Saturdays 9-11p
Having always been told that he has a great face and voice for radio, Xan Solo has always aspired to be a radio DJ and share his love of electronica music with the world. He has finally gotten his chance and is down to play the freshest tracks he finds.
A Tucson transplant hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Xan has grown to hate Tucson less and less with each passing day. He hopes that the public will hate him less and less as he drops the beats for you on Saturday nights at 9:00.
