Jody Hopkins was an arachnid enthusiast. She loved that they had eight legs, eight eyes, and a constant internet debate over whether or not they counted as bugs. When she was eight years old, Jody made it her life's goal to have a pet spider as large as a dog. She wanted to be able to walk her pet around the neighborhood just like everyone else she knew could. Continue reading "[Clipart] Pet Spider Girl" »

[Clipart] Girl Walking on Wall
Girl Walking on Wall
The wall in front of the girl was infinite. It was black with pink edges, and over its edge was an unending horizon of blank nothingness. And yet this young schoolgirl, her miniskirt flowing in the inexplicably-blowing breeze, straddled along the corner of the wall and paced down its forever-long pathway.
[Clipart] Mythical Elf Frog
Mythical Elf Frog
In the deep of the forest, far from anywhere society had ever discovered or developed, there was a village called Mimsytown. It was little bigger than a hamlet, though honestly it was little bigger than a single small tree. Each of the buildings in Mimsytown were but single mushrooms hollowed out and turned into homes for each of the elves living there. It was scary whenever the birds and snakes would try to hunt the city down, but Father Yayteese knew all the magic spells to keep the animals away and help the village grow without fear.
[Election '016 068] If You Bern It, Does It Not Bleed?
Hillary Clinton sat an ornately carved wooden desk, resting her face in her palms. The trials had been going on for what seemed like a lifetime. Had it been 6 months? A year? The days were getting hard to count, probably because the only sleep she got was when she collapsed, too exhausted to hold her head up. He was persistent, but she wasn't prepared to give up. He would not break her.
A yellow light on the wall clicked on. Hillary cleared her throat and pressed down the red button on the intercom in front of her.
"Commence to the next stage," she said.

[Clipart] Bagman
Frank walked down the row of cubicles, checking everyone to make sure they were at their computers and doing their jobs. He felt a wave of apathy among his employees today, and it struck him too, but he knew that work just needed to be done. He passed Roger Clevus, working on a spreadsheet of some sort. Check. He passed Rick Moriband, also doing work on a spreadsheet… with Youtube paused on his other monitor. Check… He passed Renee Monteil, who had three separate tabs of Youtube open on each of her three monitors. Check…
But then he got to the last cubicle and found fucking Dan Whitten. With a fucking bag on his head.

Ted and John: Super-Teamup Fight Time Go!
It was almost time.
Ted Cruz pulled up the spandex on his suit in a glorious montage, showing his latex gloves, his American flag-patterned boots, his metal-studded codpiece, and the amazing T-embroidered shirt he wore to top it all off, complete with seemingly permanently-erect nipples poking through. He was almost ready to do battle against all the baddies. He was… the Firebrand.

Eat Drink Speak Think Feel
Emotions. Those things were a useless construct created by the patriarchy to control how we acted and reacted to events both within and without our control. Now they are useless. We have our base desires, but emotions are not any of them.

[S] Week: Welcome (Week of April 4th)
Once again, as always, there is another week in store for Home Clipart Animal Deer, and on this week, there will be new stories.
What stories?
All of the stories.
Yes, all of them.
Every single one.
At least five of them.
As for last week, we only had three stories:
- The tiny and shiny Clipart Story Double Gold
- Ted Cruz's latest attempt to woo the delegates
- A Clipart Story about two little girl friends.
The best question to ask is: where were the other two stories? Well, there's no real excuse for it. A week with no (Blank) We Haven't Seen is a week wasted, to be honest. And yet another week without Beyond Thund-Noir-Dome Part 2 is yet another week to make the entire world feel pure agony.
But yeah, HCAD as an entity was at the AWP 2016 Conference in Los Angeles, so writing stories was really hard OK. This week we will make up for all our terrible transgressions and enter a new era of peace and prosperity.
Let us go beyond into the next realm.

The North American based automaker Ford has recently announced that the B-Max model, with the 1.0 EcoBoost engine, will burn just 4.9 liters of fuel every 100 km.
According to the car manufacturer, the Ford B-Max will be the most economical model in its class and thanks to the EcoBoost technology, the vehicle will have an average fuel consumption of just 4.9 liters every 100 km. Ford says that the B-Max equipped with the 1.0 liter EcoBoost engine will generate a total output of 120 horsepower, close to the Meriva, but unlike the Opel model, which is averaging 6.1 liters of fuel every 100 km, the Ford vehicle will burn just 4.9 liters., while emitting 114 grams of CO2 per km.
The new technology like the start / stop system, with Eco Mode, which is helping drivers to "travel greener" and the Gear Shift indicator, which is offering precious info on when to change gear, is helping the new Ford B-Max to be an important player in the B-segment. Besides the 120HP output, the new 1.0 liter EcoBoost engine will also be available with 95 horsepower, along with a wide range of diesel units. The B-Max will be the first model to be made at the company's new plant in Craiova, Romania, and the starting price is expected to be set at GBP12.000. The model will be officially presented at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March.

Bangkok is not my favorite city. ??A lot of it is a sprawling, dirty, polluted, crowded, and convoluted mess. Con artists are common. Transportation is a total nightmare. The heat is stifling and even during the day the??mosquitoes??can be a problem.
But it's also not my least favorite city. It's got character and at night, when the temperature drops, it's much more pleasant. There are many fun things to do and some very nice areas in town. The malls are incredible. It's modern. You can find pretty much anything you want. And it does have sights to see, like the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew.
We're here to take care of business, so I'm sure some people have seen more in three days than what we've seen in our ten days here. Our day-to-day activities have mostly revolved around arranging the next leg of our trip. We've done a lot of research and planning and applied for three visas.??Going to the consulates to get visas is similar to going to the DMV, except even worse. But I won't bore you with all those details. Instead, let me highlight the more interesting things we've done:
1. Watched the Super Bowl
Bangkok is 13 hours ahead, so to watch the big game, we had to get up at 4:30 in the morning. We made it to the bar just in time to grab prime seats with a table. The owners had also set up plastic lawn chairs for people to sit in, but they unfortunately didn't take into account how fat Americans are, because the chairs literally started breaking. Before the game and jumping and yelling even started, at least six men broke their chairs, maybe even more. ??I lost count.
And in case you're wondering, no, they did not show the same commercials here.
2. Got to Know the Expats in Bangkok
We became even more familiar with how creepy some of the male tourists and expats in Bangkok are. After two of them introduce themselves, a common first question is, "So, do you have a Thai lady-friend?" It's no secret that there's a huge sex industry here. Many men will go to the girly bars and end up with a Thai "girlfriend" for the rest of their trip. It's common to see balding, overweight white guys with Thai women half their age. (One night, a couple like this sat next to us at dinner. The guy kept trying to make conversation with the girl, while she just sat there texting on her phone, not even pretending to be interested. Awkward.)
Now, I don't really care what other people do, as long as it's between consensual adults and nobody else is being harmed. What really irks me is the attitude of these old guys. They seem to think they deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for supporting a lady-friend. Please. You've basically hired a prostitute for your vacation. If you want to make a difference, donate to UNICEF.
3. Went to the Dentist
Getting our teeth cleaned seemed much more like a medical procedure here than it does back home. The dentist office was inside of a hospital and they took our blood pressure. An actual dentist did the cleaning, along with an assistant who mainly just handed her things and wielded the suction thingy. When they applied the paste (or whatever it is they apply), they laid a sheet over our whole face. They also had us rinse and spit into the swirling water bowl, which I hadn't seen for about fifteen years.??Besides that, it was pretty much the same as back home, but I thought it was much more uncomfortable here. Brad thought it was the same. I think the main problem was that they used cold water, and cold water hurts my teeth.
4. Went to the Doctor
When I was sick in Chiang Mai, I developed an ear infection. It went away on its own, so I didn't think it was a big deal. Then a few days ago, it started hurting again, so I made an appointment to see a doctor. Just like at the dentist, there was a doctor and a nurse at the appointment. They had to clean all the goop out of my ear. Pretty gross. After that, they told me not to get my ear wet for three days. I got ear drops and three(!) different medications to take. I'm hoping this will be the end of my ear problems.
5. Got Haircuts
Both of us had kind of odd hair experiences. Brad's barber didn't do a very good job at all. He basically just sculpted the hair while it was dry and didn't bother to cut all of it. Now it's uneven and crazy looking.
I got my haircut right after the doctor appointment. Of course, I forgot about keeping my ear dry until right before she was about to wash my hair. I told her not to get my ear wet and just to make sure, I got out a wad of tissue and held it up to my ear. I tried to explain it to her, but I'm sure she thought I was a total weirdo.
After the wash, she sat me down and told me to wait for the stylist. A couple minutes later and a lady with a holster full of scissors hanging from her belt came up to me. She spoke some English, but was a very serious, no nonsense person. I told her what I wanted and she started cutting away. She worked very quickly and didn't smile or talk at all. Then she said, "Blow dry," and walked away. A third girl came up and spent nearly a half hour carefully styling my hair, making it really sleek and perfect. After that, the stylist came back, looked at me, and started making more, seemingly random, cuts. After she did her finishing touches, she took out a blow dryer and blasted my hair until it looked like I had been in a wind tunnel. Then she stepped back and announced, "Finished." Huh. So much for the sleek and perfect look.
6. Went to a Movie
We hadn't gone out to a movie since September. Here, how much you pay depends on what class of seat you choose. In the extra roomy VIP section, you can order food and drinks right from your seat. Before the movie starts, they play the king's anthem along with a montage of clips of the king's life. Everyone has to stand up. Besides that, everything is the same. We saw a Thai movie called "ATM" and it was actually pretty funny. Much better than I was expecting.
7. Ate at Cabbages and Condoms
Cabbages and Condoms is a restaurant that is trying to raise awareness of STDs and promote condom use. It was a pretty normal restaurant, except most of the decorations were made out of condoms. They had life-sized sculptures (my favorite was Tiger Woods), as well as lamp shades and wall murals made entirely from condoms.
Anyway, there's a taste of what we've been up to lately. It has been nice to get kind of settled in somewhere, but I'm looking forward to leaving Bangkok. Hopefully our next long stop will be in a better city.


text: Hey everyone, I have decided to try and learn how to develop android applications. I know lots about android as a system and know how to use adb to it's full extent except I know close to nothing about coding. I just recently bought a book called "learn java for android development" by Apress. Amazon.com: Learn Java for Android Development (9781430231561): Jeff Friesen: Books but I feel like I need to learn some more before I can actually understand what the book is saying. I can do some basic commands on eclipse and completely know HTML. I am also learning CSS and Javascript. Do I have to learn CSS and Javascript before I can do java or does anyone have any tips for a new developer about some good online resources for beginers? Thanks, Ljbaumer P.S. I hope I posted this in the right section

With sovereign debt anxieties continuing to weigh on traders' minds, the FTSE 100 sank 90.85 points to 5,752.81 and the FTSE 250 tumbled 219 points to 11,527.78. Shedding the most blood were the banks as investors fled from riskier stocks. Lloyds Banking Group suffered the sharpest fall, sliding 3.34 to 41.35p while Barclays sank 15.65 to 207.65p.
While bank investors were worrying about the debt situation in other Eurozone countries, tobacco investors were focusing on Spain for a different reason.
Last month, Imperial Tobacco warned a cigarette price war in Spain could reduce profits from the country, as the maker of Lambert & Butler cigarettes had moved to slash prices in Spain to match cuts by rival, Philip Morris International.
But earlier this month, Imperial said that it had lifted prices across its Spanish cigarette portfolio broadly to pre-war price levels.
As Imperial's peer, British American Tobacco moved this weekend to raise its prices too, analysts at Citigroup thought the price war could have reached a truce.
"British American Tobacco's price hike in Spain means all four major players have increased prices, demonstrating the price war there is likely over," said the broker. "This confirms our view that pricing generally is much better than it was two or three months ago."
Citi analysts argued that Imperial's share price suggested that the market was giving it no credit for either the apparent end of the price war in Spain, or the possibility that Imperial's marketing might improve. As such, they upped Imperial to "buy" from "hold".
Imperial initially benefited from Citi's optimism, but later capitulated to the market malaise, falling 2p to £21.48. British American Tobacco eased 25p to £27.75.
4pm: Wall Street leads London equities lower
Wall Street is heading into the red, adding to the malaise amongst London's blue-chips. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 146 points to 12332, as traders keep watch on negotiations in Washington to raise the US government's debt ceiling. The Treasury Department says the limit must be raised by August 2 or the government risks defaulting on its debt. The FTSE 100 has fallen 78 points to 5765 and the FTSE 250 has tumbled 213 points to 11533.
1.15pm: Centrica heats up, but FTSE sinks
Centrica is providing a rare bright spot this morning, with the owner of British Gas ticking up 0.8pc after Barclays Capital awarded the stock a double-upgrade.
Upping their rating to "overweight" from "underweight", analysts said:
"Centrica has defied our formerly bearish expectations and demonstrated that it retains a firm grip on its earnings."
They added:
"Pricing power is strong, regulatory threats have receded, and political risk is low relative to Continental Europe. Indeed, UK electricity market reform has the potential to create a highly attractive growth environment for Centrica."
Despite Centrica's rise, the FTSE 100 is down 61 points to 5782 and the FTSE 250 has tumbled 149 points to 11597.
Amongst the mid-caps, Rank is bucking the market trend, leaping 5pc as the bingo and casino operator retained its London listing after Guoco's 150p a share offer fell narrowly short of achieving the 75pc stake it needed to de-list the owner of Mecca Bingo.
Evolution Securities raised its recommendation on Rank to "buy" from "neutral", while Panmure Gordon reinstated its "buy" recommendation on the business.
11.23am: Investors head for safe havens, as FTSE falls
With banks weighing heavy on the benchmark index, the FTSE 100 is down 54 points to 5789 and the FTSE 250 has shed 111 points to 11635.
Friday's results of the European banking stress test results did little to assuage investors' concerns over the region's debt troubles, dampening appetite for riskier assets.
Eight European banks failed a test of their ability to withstand a long recession and will have to raise just €2.5bn of capital, significantly less than expected.
But, David Jones, chief market strategist at IG Index, pointed out that traders were "less than impressed by the lack of a Greek default inclusion" in the stress tests.
"All of this means it is firmly a 'risk-off' day so far – hardest hit are the banks with Barclays back to its lowest levels in more than two years. It looks set to be another week of shares struggling to find much momentum while these worries persist," he added.
Royal Bank of Scotland lost 3.5pc, Lloyds Banking Group shed 3.1pc and Barclays dropped 3pc.
Concerns about the US debt situation was also weighing on traders' minds. President Barack Obama has so far failed to persuade lawmakers to raise the debt ceiling in the US economy, prompting ratings agencies to threaten the country's triple-A credit rating.
Gary Jenkins, a strategist at Evolution Securities, said:
"To sum up where I think we are with regards to the US debt situation at the moment;
"Probability of the debt ceiling being raised - high. Probability of the US achieving a credible solution to the rising debt burden in the foreseeable future – low. Probability of S&P downgrading the US sovereign rating over the next three months – high."
All that meant that investors were continuing to pour their money into gold as an ongoing hedge against euro zone debt concerns. Spot gold touched a record high on Monday, on track for its longest winning streak in at least four decades.
Randgold Resources was therefore one of the few stocks on the rise, with the precious metal miner up 0.9pc. Its peer, Fresnillo, gained 1pc.
10am: Banks lead benchmark index lower
The FTSE 100 index of leading shares opened down 0.76pc, as banking stocks led the Footsie fallers.
RBS, which has €1.15bn of exposure to Greece, shed 3.85pc to 33.7p, while Barclays fell nearly 3pc to 217.15p and Lloyds Banking Group shed 2.53pc to 43.5p.
Elsewhere in Europe, Frankfurt's DAX 30 and the CAC 40 in Paris both slid more than 1pc, as Italy's FTSE Mib also slid nearly 2pc, before easing to a 11.5pc loss on the day.
7am Eurozone worries send jitters through Asia.
Worries about Europe's banking woes saw gold touch new highs on Monday, as Asian investors began a nervous start to the week.
The results of stress tests on European banks that were released after the close of trading Friday overshadowed the start of this week's trading in Asia, as Japan's stock markets remained closed for a national holiday.
The results did little to reassure investor confidence in the continent's shaky financial sector, revealing that eight of 90 European banks flunked tests aimed at revealing how they would fare in another recession.
Another 16 barely passed.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index rose 0.2pc, after a report showing home prices rose in China offset declines among Europe-related stocks, while in China, the Shanghai Composite index edged down 0.07pc.
Gold touched $1,597.68 per troy ounce, while the dollar rose to $1.4052 against the euro.
Investors are also unsettled by the inability of US politicians to work out a deal to avoid a debt default before a deadline that is just two weeks away.
"Looking ahead, sovereign debt worries in the U.S. and Europe and a pickup in second-quarter U.S. earnings data are going to compete for traders' attention," said Ben Potter, a research analyst at IG Markets in Melbourne, Australia.
"The only real certainty in the coming days is that there is likely to be volatility as the market grapples with these major issues."

i recently ran into a big problem for myself with rocket vps and known host.. if you don't already know, rocketvps is known hosts unmanaged service company (known host is managed).. i started off with rocket vps and had a few vulnerability issues on my behalf so since I liked the services rocketvps was offering me i figured id grab another box off of known host to have the managed services.. i then sent in a request for migrating both accounts, for some odd reason their attempts failed and were not successfully able to migrate the accounts over so I told them not to worry and that I will do them migrations alone as I needed a few domains to still be hosted on my rocketvps box.. so a few weeks go by and everything is fine and running great besides a email issue yesterday .. until today.. woke up this morning to voicemails from a client of mine saying her web page was unaccessible.. (be cause of a open cart plugin to generate ebay products is somehow messing up) .. so i go to login to cpanel via ip address, to find out the vps was completely inaccessible so I went to sign into their client control panel to see what was going on, and then i was also unable to do that.. i then replied to a 3rd late notice for not paying (which i was going to pay today) to see what was going on, they informed me that i didn't have to pay the invoice that everything has been switched to known host.. which i never requested that to happen and i wanted to keep both vps's.. and now i am having issues with 1 of my sites and their are no backups since everything was actually deleted off the vps on rocketvps.. and the only support (that i actually pay for through known host) is telling me to basically pay the developer to fix my problems because they can not figure out the mess they screwed up!!
Biggest Pro: uptimeBiggest Con: their ability to offer paid management services and aren't actually able to fix things!!!
I switched for KnownHost VPS from Wiredtree(that's another horrible story) on 09/21/2009 and I thought I could finally get a reliable web hosting. However, I was wrong.
There are many times that I have to refresh several times before I can access my site webpage or the ftp. The site was very unstable that it down for a minute, then up, then down for a minute.
I really need to admit that they have very fast response time for the tickets. Their support told me that everything was normal, memory use, http service is up, but I keep receiving site down notifications from my both site monitor services.
A couple of days ago, I had the same problem again. After several support tickets, Knownhost are still telling that everything is fine, but I still kept receiving pingdom site monitor notifications. I had a total of 21 down alerts and 21 up again alerts.
Then after a couple of hours, they told me that my VPS server was under a DOS attack! So I had no choice but moving to another VPS company.
Now I paste the uptime stats of my Knownhost VPS from SiteUptime.com
Year Month Outages Uptime Downtime
2011 October 8 97.774% 2.226%
2011 September 7 98.959% 1.041%
2011 August 4 99.494% 0.506%
2011 July 6 98.683% 1.317%
2011 June 10 98.939% 1.061%
2011 May 4 99.207% 0.793%
2011 April 2 99.034% 0.966%
Year Outages Uptime
2011 41 98.845%
As you can see, far from the "highest uptime in the industry" as they stated on their website.
Because the check interval of siteuptime.com is 30 minutes, so the real outages could be even more.
Biggest Pro: Fast Response TimeBiggest Con: Very unreliable uptime
I have been with KnownHost for less than 1 month, and so far have been very pleased with them.
This is my first VPS hosting account, and I came from a share host environment. Therefore, I had lots of questions with regards to the set-ups. I have submitted many srevice tickets, and in general, I got the answers or assistance within 15-20 minute time frame.
If this is the service level that I will be getting, I will be with KnownHost for a long time.
Biggest Pro: value for money, timely support ticket responsesBiggest Con: none
Knownhost: They do what they say, and they tell when there's a problem. Every time I contact them for support, they get back to me very quickly, and they get it taken care of. I'm just shared reseller, so I don't have all the features I would have with a full VPS or dedicated server, but I"m very happy with KnownHost.
They don't offer either shared or reseller hosting anymore, unfortunately.
I have been using knownhost for a couple of years now and they have been great.
My sites run a VPS through their Texas link, not the California one.
The customer service has been great since i had issues at first running a vps and needed a managed system to get me going.
They moved my sites over, sent a few good follow up emails to see how i felt with them, and performed over the first year when i had a few issues.
One of the sites i run is a free image host which I think has been made better due to them.
They let me know within an hour more or less sometimes when issues are happening with the site to my mobile.
Some people may not like a company that lets them know when there is a problem with spam , but I love it and they have worked with me a few times to resolve some matters that my past hosts let slide till i ended up having to work all night to get the server back on track with.
Overall great customer service that lets you know OFTEN when there is a problem.
I have been with Knownhost for almost exactly a year now. I took a flier on them after having many issues with my previous host. I had read some good reviews of Knownhost on various web hosting forums, and even though they were still relatively new, I decided to give them a chance.
I have been a web hosting reseller for almost five years now, and I can honestly say that I've never had a host that was THIS responsive, agile, and willing to help in any situation. Below are my impressions of Knownhost, starting from day one.
The previous host I was with (who shall remain nameless since I�ve been gone for a year) started out great, but had become extremely slow and the support I was receiving diminished in quality. So I started browsing around web hosting related forums to see what I could find. I saw a three month review from someone about Knownhost, and clicked through to their site to see what all the fuss was about. Initially I was skeptical because I was less than impressed with their website design (which has since been redesigned). I went back to the hosting forums and did some more research, and couldn�t find ANY negative comments.
After some self-convincing, I decided to open an account with Knownhost, running it simultaneously with my other reseller account. I chose a VPS, which was something I wanted to learn more about anyway. I initially chose to go with the Plesk system. It took about two hours for the account to be set up. From there I logged into the control panel system and began to poke around and learn what I was doing. After playing with Plesk for a few days, I decided it wasn�t for me. I was worried about what Knownhost would say about wanting to switch to CPanel, and what fees I might have to pay to do so.
Fortunately, Knownhost was incredibly friendly and helpful about the whole thing. They set me up with a CPanel VPS in about an hour, and I got into more familiar territory. I moved my main domain over, and noticed a big speed increase in my site. From there, I started working with my customers to move their sites and accounts over to my VPS. I ran into no problems doing that, and had all of my clients moved over in about three weeks.
Since I have moved, I have experienced ONE outage, and it was for less than five minutes. Knownhost was very responsive and made sure that they were in contact with me during the outage, as well as after explaining exactly what went wrong. I have received a lot of feedback from my customers about the increase in speed and responsiveness of the server compared to the older one they were on before.
All in all, I give Knownhost 9+ out of 10. The value of their VPS packages is exceptional, and their support is absolutely second to none. I would HIGHLY recommend them, and have recommended them to a few of my peers in the web hosting community. Everyone I have recommended is extremely happy as well.
Biggest Pro: OUTSTANDING Customer Support
I started hosting with knownhost around 7 month ago, when I purchased their KH PRO+ reseller plan for my websites.
From the beginning the support and uptime has been topnotch, any queries or problems submitted to their online support get answered in less than 30 minutes. In a few instances where there has been downtime, their support staffs were courteous and prompt in their replies.
The server speed has never been an issue, even though most of the website on my account are php/mysql based and receive decent traffic.
Biggest Pro: Uptime, server speed and supportBiggest Con: No paypal subscription options
KnownHost is a great option for VPS. Their support was always replying in 10 minutes or less, i was amazed. I benchmarked my VPS with unixbench, and it was amazing. The burst performance they allow is as much (if not more) than a dedicated server. They have 10+ dedicated servers and are top notch in my opinion... i even got a christmas card! Best support, awesome vps performance, and the prices are almost the lowest i could find for the specs.

Arion Legacy AR504LR-BK 2.1 Channel Speaker System with Subwoofer & Remote for MP3, CD, PC, Video Game Consoles, & Home Audio Systems – Black, 70 Watt
The AR504 3-piece soundstage speakers with wireless remote control brings you easy-to-use, high quality audio to your home. Everyone who appreciates music in a home environment cares about stereo soundstage. A good set of 2.1 speakers should seem to disappear, replaced instead by a spatial arrangement of music sources or soundstage – filling the space from left to right. It is the soundstage that makes the difference between just passively watching and the "being there" experience. The secret to great soundstage? Glad you asked. What makes the Arion Legacy 504s great are in the way they're constructed: precisely placed bass reflex port for enhanced lower frequency response; rigid wooden cabinets for clean, punchy sound; stiff cone materials that withstand rapid vibrations for crystal highs; and heavy duty magnets and coils for long-term durability. All these components work together to bring you high quality sound that few plastic multimedia speakers can match. And because it is designed with large PC monitors and HDTVs in mind, we figure you would appreciate its convenient wireless remote control (for quick, simple, audio adjustments from the comfort of your chair or sofa), and industry standard RCA and 3.5mm audio inputs (makes extending audio cables to and from your audio sources very, very easy).
Powerful 35 Watts RMS (Peak 70 Watts)
Many people assume that the higher wattage system is going to sound better or give them significantly more volume. This is only correct up to certain point. Without going too far into the details, power (wattage) doesn't translate well to our ears and can impact perceived loudness and quality. The peak power (70 Watts) ensures this set of speakers has enough power reserve for brief explosive passages of sound or music. What you want to focus on is the real, continuous wattage measured in RMS (which in this case is 35 Watts RMS, designed for constant use to produce sound without incurring damage over long periods of time) and the way the speakers are constructed (which determines its sound quality).
High Quality Sound
The secret to a great sounding speaker lies in the way it's constructed. The AR504 uses proven technology to bring you high quality sound: wooden cabinet, stiff cone materials, heavy duty magnets and coils, and precision cut bass reflex port. All these components work together to bring out as much detail as possible in your favorite music. The AR504 produces deep bass and crystal clear highs, with a wide frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz. More importantly, this set of speakers is tuned to reproduce accurate sound, meaning your music will sound not just loud, but detailed and natural.
Designed for Home Audio with Easy Connections
There are no proprietary cables. The AR504 uses industry standard RCA input that easily connect to most HDTVs, DVD players and gaming consoles; its 3.5mm input is designed to plug in to most desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. In case you are not sure which type of connection to use, we've got you covered with the included RCA to 3.5mm audio cable which works for both types of connections. Because these speakers use industry standard cables, you can easily extend them when needed.
Subwoofer-mounted Dancing Light Show (and Controls)
Take your music and sound to another dimension with the blue-colored LCD display mounted on the subwoofer. Its bars move up and down with the beat of your music, adding a nice touch to the ambiance. So crank it up to hear and see the music. Last but not least, the ET-AR504LR-BK also comes with subwoofer-mounted controls so you can adjust the audio settings the old fashioned way.
Convenient Wireless Remote Control
Don't you just hate it when you have to crawl down under or reach over the desk to make an adjustment? Take control of your audio experience with the provided remote control. Easily customize your audio with adjustable treble, bass, and master volume. Relax, sit back, and control your music from anywhere in the room.

Very Smart Buy,
May 5, 2010ByDaniel Portwine (Albany, NY) –
This review is from: Arion Legacy AR504LR-BK 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer & Remote for MP3, PC, Game Console & HDTV – Black, 70 Watts (Personal Computers)First let me preface my review with this: I am a recording engineer and a sound designer. My opinion of these speakers is not subjective. I have listened to literally hundreds of speakers, most of which are professional reference monitors that cost 50-100 times more than these. That being said:
1. These are not Reference Monitors.
2. These are not Home Theater Speakers. (They could be used as such, but aren't intended to be, In my humble opinion.)
These speaker are however simply the best 2.1 Computer/MP3/iPod/iPhone setup I have heard for the money. I challenge anyone to do better than these… really.
-Tight, balanced high, mid and low frequency replication: Not Bose boomy, Not Logitech mid scooped, not Harmon Kardon brittle.
-Fairly compact
-Loud: How loud? …Loud enough, trust me.
-Clean and clear even at 80% volume.
-Remote control
-Treble and Bass cut/boost
-No Power button on remote
-Short speaker wires (3.5 feet)
-LCD Display is very, very bright.
Consensus: Buy it.

Precision full spectrum sound, nice magnetic shielding, 75W of raw power – these speakers throws everything else into dust!,
October 24, 2009BySytelus (WA, United States) –This review is from: Arion Legacy AR504LR-BK 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer & Remote for MP3, PC, Game Console & HDTV – Black, 70 Watts (Personal Computers)I needed speakers for my office to play music through iPhone as well as PC. My first criteria was they must have full spectrum range (20Hz-20KHz) and that usually also means it need have dedicated bass speaker (i.e. 2.1 system). It just surprised me to no end that almost all 2.1 speakers in market including the expensive ones from well known companies like Logitech did not actually have full range! Infect after thoroughly looking at current line of products from Logitech and Creative I really think that they are ripping off customers by selling highly priced speakers but really weak in technical specs. Many time these companies actually don't even publish this fact visibly and you have to dig deep in to their websites to find technical data. The 2nd criteria was that the speakers should have at least 10W of power. In my view, speakers that you intend to keep 3-4 feet away and that have less than 5W of power don't sound much better than laptop speakers because they will need to run at 50-70% of volume and all the distortion that would occur at higher end. The 3rd criteria was magnetic shielding because speakers would be placed near computer equipment. Although with LCD screens this really doesn't matter but still having shielding is nice. My 4th criteria was price should be less than $100 although I was little flexible here to shell out more money for better speakers.
Now the ONLY speakers in market that not only meets all these 4 criteria but also exceeds them are Eagle Tech ET-AR504LR.
Sound Quality: These speakers are UNBELIEVABLE. Quite a few of my colleagues who came to my office and listen to these speakers were simply blown away with the clarity, quality of bass and crispness. For fun I asked them to guess the price and answers I got were in the range of $150 to as far as $350 :). When listening to lot of my old music on these speakers I can now clearly hear many background instruments that I didn't used to hear before. Bass is very powerful, deep and pleasant like what you would hear from high end home theater system. Also they have dedicated twitters so high pitch sounds have amazing clarity unlike many 2.1 desktop speakers which only focuses on deep bass.
Wattage: These babies sport 75W. To put it in perspective, I can literally hear music down the hallway 4 offices away and through many many walls (each office is about 12-15 ft wide)! The bass gets so powerful that you can see vibration in glass window! Even at 1/3th volume my colleague in next office can hear and feel that bass :). Good thing is that even at high volume they retain their sound quality. Most of the time however I play music at 10% to 18% of full volume.
Shielding: The build quality of these speakers is excellent. I have placed them near laptop, near PC, near LCDs and everything has worked fine as before. All speakers, especially the big bass one, are enclosed in high quality wooden construction.
Size: These speakers are about twice bigger than usual portable speakers you see on desktops. Bass speaker is even bigger and heavier. So these are not something that you can carry around with you all the time in your laptop bag. They are best for fixed desktop work space.
Stereo cable length: I feel it's bit shorter but I haven't felt yet need to buy that 3.5mm stereo extender from Radioshack. The built-in cable length works for my desktop table arrangement.
Other stuff: The front of these speakers have cool blue LEDs and electronic equalizers although I haven't found its use. It also comes with remote control which also I have never used but its nice to have.
Bottom line is that these speakers throws every other speakers in dust even those expensive ones in $100-$200 range. You would want to listen music just because of superb sound quality of these speakers!

Very good (not great),
September 4, 2009ByHandyman (working hard somewhere in California) –This review is from: Arion Legacy AR504LR-BK 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer & Remote for MP3, PC, Game Console & HDTV – Black, 70 Watts (Personal Computers)PROS: Very easy to setup & use. Trebles are clear and bass are deep, it sounds on par with the more expensive Z4 that I have hooked up to my wife's PC. Now that I am building another HTPC for myself, I decided to give Eagle a try and couldn't be happier. Couch potatoes like me will really like the wireless remote control (for those LOTR fanatics, you know how loud the movie can get and I needed a quick way to turn down the volume and/or to quickly boost treble/bass during the quieter part of the movie).
CONS: User manual had typos. The RCA audio cables coming from the satellites are too short. I mean come on!! my arms are longer than that… Okay – that was annoying but not a deal breaker since i just picked up a pair of RCA audio cables for less than $2 at local radio shack store. The other thing is that for some reason my speakers would turn ON with the volume all turned up. I later found out that it actually RESETS the digital EQ whenever power is turned OFF. What the […] ARGGGG~ again, annoying but not a deal breaker since I just left them ON all the time, no biggie.
CONCLUSION: If you were looking to spend around ~$100 on a set of name brand speakers then this one will probably do the job just fine, while saving you some money. Amazon's free shipping makes this a complete steal. Mine arrived in 2 days & no shipping charges. Just wow!

Recent Game Reviews
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
The game is good for practicing your reflexes and improving them, the choice of songs is not as wide as I had expected. The guitars are creative and the game is enjoyable and fun to play.
In my opinion, I wouldn't play this game daily or often but its a great way to practice your reflexes and a good way to have fun if you're majorly bored.
I liked playing the game because it was fun challenging my fingers to move with the beat and to keep in line with the song.
In all fairness the only thing that needs to be worked on majorly is the choice of songs, there should be a lot more genres and more songs to choose from. The boss battles should also be improved slightly, maybe make them more exciting or let the boss be more involved.
Overall I enjoyed the game and I believe I have given a fair rating, good job on the game.

Playing Now/Coming Soon
Tim Easton, Jimmy Webb & Greg Trooper hit town with new discs
By Jim Caligiuri,
4:20PM, Wed. Sep. 11, 2013
He's been making albums since 1998, slotted as singer-songwriter with a taste for country rock. Nevertheless, few would've expected the stylistic left turn that Tim Easton takes on his latest, Not Cool. Hear it live Thursday when he opens for Billy Joe Shaver at Antone's.
It's a mix of rockabilly and pub rock (think early Nick Lowe or middle period Elvis Costello) that's remarkably fresh, perhaps because so few are working the latter genre presently. If you enjoyed JD McPherson's unapologetically retro debut last year, this one's for you. At just over 30 minutes it's too short, but Not Cool is anyway.
Check out his homemade video:
Also Thursday, across town, but stylistically a million miles away, Jimmy Webb appears at the One World Theater, 8pm. Literally the Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Webb issued his latest this week, Still Within the Sound of My Voice. Like his last effort, 2010's Just Across the River, it's an all-star set that finds Webb sharing the bill with Lyle Lovett, Joe Cocker, Amy Grant, Art Garfunkel, and a bunch more.
Long criticized for shaky vocals, Webb's gained some confidence in that department this time out. With backing by a veritable who's who of Nashville studio pros – Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Bryan Sutton, Paul Franklin – he offers an adult version of Americana that's poignant and modern. Highlights include a re-imagining of "MacArthur Park," with Beach Boy Brian Wilson adding stunning atmospherics, and Kris Kristofferson's wobbly spoken word appearance on "Honey Come Back."
My only complaint with Strange Brew, the hottest listening room in Austin: I live north and it's pretty far south. Saturday I'll make the trip to see my old NYC buddy Greg Trooper. His 12th album, Incident on Willow Street, is another sturdy set of widescreen observations on the human condition, although it isn't due for another couple weeks.
Trooper, who's been lucky enough to have his songs covered by kindred spirits including Steve Earle and Billy Bragg, continues demonstrating the rare ability to mix Dylanesque folk, country soul, and a hint of Celtic color into something both appealing and hard hitting. It's well worth the drive.

Coding for creativity
A recent invitation to a coding workshop gave me a fearful flashback to a data analysis lecture. In this class I was trying to comprehend something that was foreign, complex, and, to me, useless. I didn't know the first thing about coding, and with my chosen field being creative writing, I naively assumed I wouldn't have to come across this digital complexity.
Cloud Workshop: enriching connections through wearable design
Wearables are on the precipice of fundamentally changing our lives; much like the cellphone did a decade ago.
Wearables can be defined as small, portable, mobile and wireless technologies and devices worn 'on', 'near' or 'in' the body and give rise to a previously unimaginable level of data about ourselves and our environment. By their very nature they are intimate with the capacity to track, record, manage, diagnose and respond to our body and personal context, thus radically changing the way we work, socialise, connect and communicate.

The end of solitude

Dumpsters in Downtown alleys and on Downtown sidewalks became illegal at the beginning of November and even though businesses there knew the change in policy was coming, many did nothing to prepare for it.
Each dumpster was to come with a fine of $500 for each month they remained. But those fines were reduced by a Memphis City Council committee Tuesday to $200. It is expected that council members, city staff and Downtown merchants will work together to devise a more-permanent solution to what could become a stinking, rodent-infested problem.
If Downtown merchants, especially restaurants, have to get rid of their dumpsters, city leaders said Tuesday they would pile their trash in alleys between buildings or other out of the way places, which will create health hazards.
A proposal from council member Lee Harris would have used $300,000 in city funds to build six concrete pads for trash compactors, which would have been built by private companies and the merchants they serve. But the proposal died in committee as members the money would have had to come from city reserves and go to private entities.
"We just don't have the money," said council member Jim Strickland. "(Tennessee State Comptroller Justin Wilson) is already upset at us about not having enough money in reserves. We don't have a money tree on Mud Island that we can just pull from."
Harris said he was more interested in protecting Downtown stakeholders than in spending reserve funds. Jerome Rubin, former council member and vice president of operation for the Downtown Memphis Commission, said the $300,000 investment was vital to protect health concerns and that the funds could be recouped by the city through a new fee on Downtown businesses and residents.
The council will vote on building the compactor pads in its meeting Tuesday afternoon.
This morning around 10:30 a.m., Trolley #452 on the Madison Line caught on fire near the Bellevue intersection. Nine people and the driver were on board at the time the trolley caught on fire. Passengers reported hearing "a loud pop" near the trolley driver's area, and the trolley immediately began filling with smoke, according to MATA spokesperson Allison Burton.
All passengers were able to safely exit the trolley. Seven people were transported to hospitals after suffering from smoke inhalation, but none are in critical condition. There's no word yet on what caused the fire.
The Madison rail line has been temporarily suspended, and MATA will be provided bus service along that route instead. Trolley #452 was built in 1927 and was purchased from New Orleans Regional Transit Authority in 1997. It had been refurbished in 2004.
In other news, MATA president and general manager Will Hudson has announced that he'll be retiring in January after serving in that role for 20 years. Hudson got his start at MATA as a bus driver 49 years ago. Hudson is the first African-American president of MATA. Under his leadership, MATA reconstructed Central Station downtown and constructed the trolley's Riverfront Loop and Madison Line, among other projects.
Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Office Scott Brockman has released the following statement regarding the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday morning that killed a TSA agent and wounded at least six others.
"Details about the shooting that occurred at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) today are still emerging. Certainly, our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Thus far, the incident affected our operations at Memphis International Airport (MEM). The next non-stop flight to LAX from Memphis is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Delta.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was far away from tense Congressional chambers filled with pointed criticisms Friday as her Memphis visit felt at times more like a pep rally.
The secretary's event at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library was a push to get residents enrolled in a health insurance plan in the one-month-old Health Insurance Marketplace.
The new, government-run health insurance "store" is a product of the Affordable Care Act. The marketplace has been a source of intense scrutiny this week by Republicans who have pointed to the failures of healthcare.gov, the marketplace's online home, as a systemic failure of the health care law overall.
Sebelius took full responsibility and apologized to the country for the site's failures in testimony Thursday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, whose members grilled her in sometimes-heated exchanges. The failures also account for a growing number of GOP leaders calling for Sebelius' resignation.
But nearly 1,000 miles away from the halls of Congress, Sebelius was welcomed in Memphis to raucous applause, standing ovations, and local leaders calling her "our general" for health issues and a "warrior" for health care advocacy.
Sebelius first met with local stakeholders — politicians such as Memphis Mayor A C Wharton and Congressman Steve Cohen, public health officials, pastors, and CEOs - in the library's Memphis Room. She then addressed a standing-room-only crowd of locals who had come to either hear the secretary speak or to get help signing up for health insurance.
She apologized again Friday for the "frustrating" process for those trying and failing to get health care at healthcare.gov. She also gave a tongue-in-cheek apology for the 2008 University of Kansas win over the University of Memphis in the NCAA championship, which happened when Sebelius was governor of Kansas.
Officials constantly reminded the crowd and the media that the marketplace is one month into a six-month open enrollment period, which ends March 31st. Wharton noted that critics lambasted the launch of the Social Security program, which is now considered essential to many.
Cohen said Republicans are using the Affordable Care Act to undermine and politically damage President Barack Obama and that nearly 88,000 Memphians will be eligible for coverage through the marketplace.
