Hip-hop star Drake was left aghast when he found out a fan had his name tattooed across her forehead, and he has criticized the man behind the needle for agreeing to the unusual request.
RELATED: Celebrity Tattoos Gone Bad
Pictures of the woman, who has the word Drake inked on her face, hit the Internet earlier this month, and the star was asked about it during an interview with Power 106 radio host Mando Fresko.
Drake admitted he was shocked by the picture and wants to meet the young lady to find out why she went to such dramatic lengths to declare her support.

He says, "I want to meet her and understand why and what happened. That's cool though; I feel you 100 percent. To me that is absolutely incredible."
However, Drake is not happy with the tattoo artist who agreed to ink the large image on the woman's face.
He adds, "The guy who tatted it is a f------ a------ though, I will tell you that. I don't f--- with that guy! F--- you to that tattoo artist, by the way, because you're an a------, for real. And you should lose your job, and you should never do tattoos again."

John Heineken crowned kite racing world champion |
Tuesday, 05 July 2011 09:03 |
John Heineken has been crowned the 2011 kite racing world champion, in Sylt, Germany. The US team dominated the Men's fleet by putting four riders in the leading places of the rankings. Twelve races were run in dramatic conditions and, in the end, there was only one European kiteboarder in the best five positions: Julien Kerneur managed to secure the fifth place. The IKA Kite Racing World Championships were great for the future of the sport. Waves were rolling in at 3 meter high, breaking up to 200 meters from the beach, and it was more than once that the committee boat was completely airborn in the 20+ knots breeze. In the Women's division, the experienced Steph Bridge, from UK, is the new world champion. To balance things, the European female kiteboarders dominated the competition. Katja Roose from the Netherlands was second, Nayara Licariao from Brazil was third and the French Caroline Adrien took fourth. Melissa Gil, from the USA, closed the best five list. The new production division was won by Sky Solbach and Steph Bridge. Results after 12 races (3 discards): Men 1. John Heineken (USA) 6.3 points Women 1. Steph Bridge (GBR) 6.3 points |

Hi there,
I hope someone can help or just confirm that what I'm experiencing is the norm with my new HDD.
I have set my drive to sync with the one touch and it sync's everything on my desktop (and other specified folders) which works great. However, let's say I decide that I no longer require certain files so I delete them from my desktop. Every time I sync it tries to copy the deleted files back from the OneTouch to my local HDD.
Now I understand that you can set it to prompt which is what I have done, but I don't want to have to specifically turn off every file I've deleted when it prompts - over time the number of files is just too much to keep track of.
I also understand that I can delete the files from the external drive as I remove them from the local HDD, but If I'm deleting multiple files from different folders located in various paths, doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a nice simple one touch system If I have to manually delete each file twice?
Can this drive/software recognise that I would like to delete a file and therefore automatically remove it from the external sync?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss.

Circle Cafe
Replete with candy-coloured wallpaper and illustrations of Mae West alongside animal skull-hat-hooks, Circle is one of Dubai's most creative cafes 4 Reviews
Replete with candy-coloured stripy wallpaper, oversized white lampshades (that evoke tagliatelle/ribbons), and illustrations of Mae West alongside animal skull-hat-hooks, Circle is one of Dubai's most creative cafes, both in terms of decor and food selection. Fortunately, its retro quirkiness works to pull in a loyal crowd of arty couples, young families and ladies who lunch. Inside the newspaper-style menus lies a full-page 'catering menu', followed by a mix of salads (select your own ingredients for Dhs60) – of which the Asian Chicken is best in our experience, a just-about-even combination of chicken, leaves, hoisin sauce and strips of ginger.
Circle's bagels are also renowned: shipped in from New York, the salmon and Caprese options are perfectly packed, while breakfast options range from eggs Benedict to halloumi and cucumber, and the Hot Kitchen options allow you to pop by for dinner too. The blueberry smoothies also shouldn't go without mention, or the cakes for that matter, especially the carrot – doused in a buttery sauce and gently heated, it challenges Lime Tree's carrot crown. So are all these impressive dishes let down by lacklustre service? Certainly not in the Jumeirah Branch, while the Media City outlet just about manages to survive its lunchtime popularity.

Since 1928, Chocolates El Rey, or "the KING OF CHOCOLATE", has been manufacturing chocolate in Venezuela. It is one of the only companies which actually makes chocolate in the same location where the cacao bean is grown. Many feel that the cocoa beans grown in Venezuela are the most flavorful - with descriptions such as earthy, fruity and aromatic.
The cocoa beans used by El Rey come from the Carenero region of Venezuela, and the names refer to trees which shade the cocoa groves.
El Rey uses only Criollo and Trinitario beans in their chocolates. The third variety, Forestero, is the choice bean for Africa growers as it is more disease resistant, easier to grow and is used by larger manufacturing
companies. The criollo bean is known for it's acidic flavor and tends to be a harder tree to grow.

U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, backed by an arsenal of attack ads and a
huge spending advantage, holds a 20-point lead over GOP rival Gabriel E. Gomez
as the U.S. Senate special election heads into the final days, a new UMass
Lowell/Boston Herald poll shows.
Gomez has been hammered by a late round of negative TV ads that has driven up
his unfavorable ratings and hampered his ability to get closer to his Democratic
rival, according to the poll of 608 registered Massachusetts voters, including
312 likely voters taken this week.
"Gomez is in a deep hole right now, and it has more to do with lopsided campaign
spending than anything else," said Joshua Dyck, co-director of the University of
Massachusetts Lowell Center for Public Opinion. "Markey is just beating him up."
Markey, the Malden Democrat, leads Gomez by 56 to 36 percent among likely voters
and a 53-32 percent advantage among all registered voters in the poll.
The one bright spot for the ex-Navy SEAL is that his best night of polling came
this Wednesday, after his final debate performance against Markey. He trailed in
that night's sample by 13 points, indicating Gomez gained steam from the
televised showdown.
The poll's margin of 20 points is larger than in other recent polls, with
several showing Gomez trailing only by single digits.
But the UMass Lowell/Herald poll shows that Gomez is now viewed unfavorably by
33 percent of registered voters, while just 34 percent have a favorable opinion
of the Cohasset businessman making his first run for office.
Markey's favorability, meanwhile has risen since the last UMass Lowell poll in
March, from 31 to 48 percent, with most Democrats rallying behind the longtime
Markey could even be getting a boost from the Boston Bruins' Stanley Cup run,
according to Dyck. The surge in TV viewers for the games has given Markey a
captive audience for the Democrats' heavily negative advertising campaign.
The UMass Lowell/Herald poll shows Markey is benefitting from support from
President Obama, whose approval rating remains above 60 percent in Massachusetts
despite a wave of scandals.
Gomez is leading among independent voters by just a 41-39 percent margin, not
nearly enough to overcome the Democrats' huge numbers advantage in
The poll also shows that the percentage of people who say they trust federal and
state government has shot up in the last few months, despite a wave of scandals
in the IRS and the disclosure of a widespread government phone snooping program.
Dyck attributes the rise to the good feelings surrounding the police and FBI's
quick action to capture and kill the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Gov. Deval Patrick's approval numbers have jumped to 63 percent in the current
UMass Lowell/Herald poll -- the same as U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, which could
be a sign that voters are still feeling positive about Patrick and the state's
performance in the wake of the bombing.
"This is the 'Boston Strong' era," Dyck said.

Another View: Sen. Ayotte is doing the right thing on gun violence
As current and former New Hampshire police chiefs, we've been following the national debate on how to prevent mass shootings. All of us in law enforcement want to stop violence and keep our cities and towns safe. And we're glad that Sen. Kelly Ayotte is at the table, putting her experience as a prosecutor and attorney general to good use.
We know Kelly because we worked with her during her long career at the Attorney General's office, where she rose from a prosecutor, to chief of the homicide unit, to deputy attorney general, and then to the position of top law enforcement officer. She is someone who continues to be totally committed to law enforcement. And we know that when it comes to public safety and preventing violence, no one works harder than Kelly Ayotte. Based on the strength of that record, she was overwhelmingly elected to the Senate with the strong support of New Hampshire's law enforcement community.
Our hearts certainly go out to Rep. Gabriel Giffords for the horrible tragedy she was forced to endure. But an op-ed that she wrote didn't mention that a group she backs has been running ads falsely attacking Kelly Ayotte. Contrary to what these ads say, Sen. Ayotte did in fact vote in support of legislation to improve the nation's background check system for those who attempt to buy firearms.
It's unfortunate to see out-of-state groups throw mud in this important debate. Having worked directly with Kelly, we know that she's fully committed to prosecuting criminals. When she was attorney general, Kelly worked hand in glove with law enforcement officials, listened to what we had to say and sought our input on public safety issues. Because of her personal efforts, she remains extraordinarily well-respected by New Hampshire's law enforcement community.
One of the main reasons she is held in such high regard is because she is someone who takes time to look at both sides of an issue. She does her homework, and she asks tough questions. Kelly has always been focused on finding pragmatic solutions.
In the current debate, we've been glad to see her focus on improving the nation's mental health delivery system. We all know that serious mental illness is a common thread between these mass shootings. As current and former chiefs, all of our departments have dealt with the issue of mental health, including identifying the warning signs and trying to help those in crisis get the help they need. This problem is very real, and we're glad to see that Sen. Ayotte has been working to address this important issue.
We also have appreciated her efforts to ensure that the gun laws we have now are enforced. As law enforcement officers, one of the most frustrating things is to see law-breakers get away with their crimes. Kelly shares that commitment, and she voted for a bill that would make sure prosecutors have the resources to prosecute those who illegally try to buy firearms.
Finally, as experienced law enforcement officers, we know that most criminals get their guns by stealing them or getting others to buy guns for them. The legislation Kelly worked on increased criminal penalties for straw purchases and gun trafficking.
Preventing violence and crime requires getting the right policies in place. As Congress debates proposals, we're glad that Kelly Ayotte is at the table, using her background in law enforcement to write practical laws that will actually address this very complex problem.
Dick Crate is chief of police of Enfield; Russ Lary is the retired chief of police of Grantham; Christopher Connelly is the retired chief of police of Dunbarton; and John Tholl is the retired chief of police of Dalton.

Blood Simple (1984)
The reissue of Joel Coens and Ethan Coens 1984 Blood Simple contains a brief tongue-in-cheek prologue
in which a tweedy Clifton Fadiman clone puts aside a leather-bound tome long enough to
extol the merits of "this exquisite masterpiece." (Its the filmed
equivalent of the put-on prefaces that accompany published versions of the Coens
screenplays.) But what "Mortimer Young" doesnt mention is how offbeat the
movie seemed at the time of its debut, or how it thwarted moviegoers whod become
addicted to rooting for their protagonists. Blood Simple represented a different
breed of filmmaking: ironic, seemingly indifferent to the welfare of its characters, and
extravagantly aware of itself as a movie. Even some of its biggest fans had a hard time
articulating what they liked about the film because its intentions couldnt be
confirmed until the Coens had made another picture or two.
Today its easy to enjoy Blood Simple as something much
simpler: film noir, Texas Style. Ceiling fans have replaced the Venetian
blinds and the villain has exchanged his fedora for a straw cattlemans hat. The plot
revolves around an adulterous affair between Ray (John Getz), a no-account bartender, and
Abby (Frances McDormand), his boss wife. When Abbys husband, Marty (Dan
Hedaya), learns of the affair, his cancerous anger eats through every part of his
personality until he finally resorts to hiring a primitively venal private detective,
Loren Visser (M. Emmet Walsh), to murder the couple. Visser is a rattlesnake disguised as
a vulgar bumpkin, and the reptile in him comes fully alive at the prospect of earning ten
thousand dollars. But why should he commit two murders when one will suffice? (Walsh, in
the performance of his career, so expertly oozes the reek of moral decay that twice in the
movie flies show up to walk across his face.) The detective doublecrosses Marty he
puts a bullet into him and then drawls at his body, "You look stoo-pid
now" but he mistakenly leaves evidence behind that would connect him to the
crime. His attempts to remedy the situation, coupled with Rays misinterpretation
when he stumbles upon the crime scene (he assumes that Abby killed her husband), lead to a
roundelay of farcical misunderstandings that bear murderous implications for everyone
The Coens trademark aloofness works to perfection in Blood
Simple because only the audience has a birds eye view of the action. Were
privy to information thats withheld from Abby and Ray specifically, that
Vissers need to tie up his loose ends has put them in harms way and
were forced to watch as they draw disastrously wrong conclusions at every step of
the proceedings. (Their haplessness is epitomized by Rays panicked attempt to mop up
a pool of blood with his plastic windbreaker.) Because they dont even know that
Visser exists, Abby and Ray can only suspect each other when things go awry, and as they
grow ever more alienated from each other, the movie plays off our familiarity with noir
conventions, and perhaps off our memories of our own soured romances.
Blood Simple is at its best when it teases our state of mind
with a variety of twilight effects. Its nearly silent for extended stretches (the
scene in which Ray disposes of a body in a farm field lasts a full ten minutes without a
word of spoken dialogue), while Carter Burwells spare piano score lends a lunar
quality to the movies fluid transitions. Through it all Barry Sonnenfelds
photography guides you through the spectral debris thats sprinkled throughout the
movie: a string of dead fish flopped across a tabletop, some plumbing fixtures glistening
under beads of icy condensation, a VW beetle that has a malevolently watchful presence.
Even the crease in a dead mans trousers seems invested with the power of speech.
The Coens have streamlined Blood Simple for this re-release,
deleting a couple snippets of dialogue whose absence is noticeable only because the cuts
marking their removal are surprisingly abrupt. But virtually everything memorable in the
film remains intact, including some things such as the pointlessly flamboyant shot
that glides along the bar and over a sleeping barflys head, or the close-up of Marty
barfing towards the camera lens that it could have profited by losing. A couple of
new musical cues have been added and a Temptations song has been restored to the end
credits. Most importantly, the movie has been given a new digital stereo mix so that its
carefully worked out sound effects the crackling of a bug-lamp at the climax of an
important speech, the tip of a shovel rasping over an asphalt highway can work
their full unsettling magic.
Blood Simple plays almost exactly as it did in 1984, for better and
for worse. Theres not much going on beneath its surface, and it doesnt bear
comparison to great thrillers like The
Third Man or Rear Window.
Yet its festering, eerie atmosphere is almost comically engrossing while youre
watching it, and it runs absolute circles around assembly-line jobs like Fatal Attraction and The Fugitive. Its hair-raising set pieces the
burial scene, the grisly cat-and-mouse pursuit at the end of the picture have the
delicious storyboard clarity of Hitchcocks great sequences, and time hasnt
diminished the queasy shocks one gets from the movies jolts of violence. Its
fitting that Blood Simple closes with the sound of a sardonic cackle, for the
picture served notice that American cinema was about to get a boost from two formidable
yet highly prankish talents. The Coen brothers had arrived.

Social movements are a type of group action.
They are large informal groupings of individuals and/or organizations focused on specific political or social issues, in other words, on carrying out, resisting or undoing a social change.
Modern social movements became possible through education (the wider dissemination of literature), and increased mobility of labour due to the industrialisation and urbanisation of 19th century societies.
The freedom of expression, education and relative economic independence prevalent in the modern Western culture is responsible for the unprecedented number and scope of various contemporary social movements.

Apprentice boss Lord Sugar has said that this year's candidates will be challenged more than ever.
Speaking about the new series, which continues on Wednesday, Lord Sugar revealed that the new tasks were "cranked up" in complexity, and would hopefully show the viewers how to start a business themselves.
"The complexity of the tasks is cranked up, the tasks are reflective off what the end game is," the boss explained.
He went on: "Each task also gives the audience an idea of what can be done. We've lost that culture of starting with just £100 and working for a day to turn into £200."
Lord Sugar also hit out at wannabe entrepreneurs who hung their hopes on becoming the next internet billionaire.
"We need to dispel the fast-buck mentality," he moaned. "Too many youngsters look up to Mark Zuckerburg and Bill Gates and wait to become one of them – but they don't realise that it's a trillion-to-one chance."

DHEA Facts | Effects of DHEA | Is DHEA Safe | How To Deliver DHEA DHEA FACTS:
DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone,
is a naturally produced prohormone. It is the most abundant basic building
block for hormones in the human body.
Hormones drive many aspects
of our lives. How we feel, how we act, mood, energy levels, feeling of
well-being, how we interact with others, sex drive, how we sleep,
fertility, immune response, cardio-vascular function, neural function.
From birth men and women
alike gradually produce more and more DHEA until about age 25. After age 25
we produce about 2% less per year each year. So by age 35 we make about 20%
less than we did at age 25, and by age 50 we are making half as much. By age
70 most people make minimal amounts of DHEA.
In postmenopausal women, all estrogens and nearly all androgens are made
locally in peripheral target tissues from the inactive adrenal steroid
precursor dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). In adult men, approximated 50%
of androgens are made locally. This new section of
endocrinology, which describes the local formation of sex steroids, has
been named intracrinology. In fact, all the enzymes required to make
androgens and estrogens are expressed in a cell-specific fashion, thus
permitting local control of steroid formation and action. The local
inhibition of sex steroid formation or action has shown important
benefits in the treatment of hormone-sensitive cancers, including
significant prolongation of survival and even curing localized disease.
On the other hand, exogenous DHEA provides important advantages in
postmenopausal women because it compensates for the declining secretion
of DHEA by the adrenals with age. The
benefits of DHEA include increased bone mineral density, muscle mass,
well-being, and libido, as well as beneficial effects against skin
atrophy, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Labrie F. et al Semin
Reprod Med. 2004 Nov;22(4):299-309. Adrenal androgens and intracrinology.
Oncology and Molecular Endocrinology Research Center, Laval University
Hospital Research Center, Quebec City, Canada.
DHEA supplementation to
maintain levels above where they might otherwise decline is a good
thing. Oral supplementation of DHEA has been recommended by health
professionals for years. The assumption has been that DHEA could
be absorbed through the digestive tract into the blood stream and used
by the body to effectively supplement DHEA. However, when DHEA is
ingested orally the first pass effect of the liver filters out most DHEA
because it is a large molecule. What does get into the bloodstream is
DHEA sulfate.
DHEA sulfate and DHEA are not the same and are not
completely interchangeable in the body.
DHEA is a base for many sex
hormones whereas DHEA-S is not. This is why supplementation Of DHEA
provides so many noticeable benefits, while supplementation of DHEA-S
does not. If DHEA supplementation is provided with a properly made
transdermal DHEA cream into the dermis, DHEA can be supplemented
correctly. The route of administration is very important because DHEA
and DHEA-S are not interchangeable. This is shown in medical research
done by Dr. Fabian Hammar published in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology & Metabolism
In light of these medical
research results, DHEA supplementation is best provided using a
bioidentical DHEA supplement cream that is absorbed in the skin such
that DHEA is provided to the body rather than DHEA-sulfate.
DHEA supplements taken
orally are not as effective as DHEA supplements taken using a
transdermal cream. There are two important reasons –
Most DHEA taken orally is
eliminated as soon as it enters the system from the digestive tract by
the first pass effect of the liver. Most of the effective DHEA from oral
supplementation is not available to the body to do any good. Very little
ends up being available to the body to utilize as a basic building block
for hormones. This is why many of the studies published in recent years
failed to show as significant benefits as they could have for many
health aspects tested.
Unfortunately, many studies
were done using the wrong method of administration. In addition,
most of the studies that did not show significant benefits from using
DHEA supplements did not test for the effects of benefits for a long
enough period of time. Studies of DHEA should be for at least 90 days
and 6 months would be optimal.
Most DHEA metabolism occurs
in the skin Dr. Fernand Labrie and a team of Canadian researchers
published an important study in February 2008 that showed this. Most
DHEA is actually used by the body in the biggest organ we have – the
skin, or dermis.
There are many interesting medical research studies that show great
benefits to health and appearance from DHEA supplementation. MEDICAL RESEARCH STUDIES:

somebody (not me!) needs to calculate a scale like the heat index or the wind chill factor that considers watts, dB, tube vs. solid state, mojo, and various other factors. trained monkeys could test the amps at the factory, and an American Bandstand panel could vet it before it goes out the door.

I don't know if it's possible given all of the variables. Biasing - cathode versus fixed. Biasing - how hot or cold. Running voltages. Tube manufacturing tolerances. Speaker sensitivity. Also, as Dacious mentions, different amps and designs may emit different frequencies that may, or may not, handle traveling through meat (people in the front row) as well as other frequencies. The guy in the back may not hear any top end by the time our speakers hit him in the face. Another consideration - dB's might not really help us now how good an amp will work as well... consider the work (wattage) low-mids and bass requires. To keep those from falling apart at gigging levels may mean an amp that goes beyond dB specifications. Wattage specifications can help here. We can turn down the frequencies ears are sensitive to and still have low-mids and bass on tap.

Just a couple things to throw into the mix...
Here's the way wattage ratings were explaned to me by an amp tech a while back...Wattage really is a throwback, but in a different way than from a design stand-point. Just like horsepower is a simple way to describe torque in a linear sort of way, wattage is used to describe power consumption vs output. Back when everyone had a 4-fuse, 30-amp current to power their home, wattage was a big deal. I forget the formula for converting watts to amp usage, but I'm sure one could look it up easily. Another point to note is the classic question of what distortion really is. When does an amp TRUELY distort? Sure, you can mention 'clipping' and whatnot, but in layman's terms, most guitar amps are distorted at the point that they put out audible sound. To an audiophile, or blissfully-toneful noise boxes are crap. Even a bad home theater receiver rated at 100 watts will usually be rated at something like 65 watts RMS @ >.05% THD. An amazing tube amp (of 100watts) might get a similar rating of, say 60 watts RMS @ eleventy-billion% pure warm and fuzzy electrified heaven.

Valve watts and Tranny watts are, therefore, identical! No arguemnets about that! BUT! Old tranny designs see the speaker load more like a resitive load, whereas, a valve amp does not... it's more complicated! To measure output power into a dummy load resistor is dead simple. But that's not representative of the true output power into the speaker for an amplifier which employs an output matching transformer... beit valve or trannies with an output TX! Many early tranny amps had output TXs too, so they would behave exactly like a valve amp! Traditionally, for example, any valve amp would have it's power quoted measured across a resistive load... so does a tranny amp. However, the matching of the output TX is only absolutely correct at a very narrow band of frequencies and is also dependent on the speaker's characteristics. So, as it happens, a valve amp with an output TX, can be outputting more power than is measured across a dummy resistive load! This is because, at certain frequencies where the TX matches to speaker's impedance closely, it can be 'magnifying' the voltage across the speaker load - especially when the speaker is at resonance resulting in far more bass output than a tranny amp. There are other things going on, far too complicated to explain here. Valve amps are nothing like accurate... they just sound cuddly in the lower frequencies and the human hearing translates extra bass as 'louder'! The TX cannot match the speaker at all frequencies efficiently! The speaker is only it's rated 'nominal' impedance at around 200Hz. At other frequecies, the speaker impedance is higher than the nominal quoted figure. More complications!! But basically, this is why, watt for watt, valve amps 'can' sound louder than a tranny amp of the same power rating without a matching TX. If you were then to add a matching TX to that quieter tranny amp, then the tranny amp would sound as loud as the valve amp! It's nothing to do with the valves... it's the output TX which creates this additional percieved output!! I bet this is as clear as mud? Never-the-less it's a very simple explanation of what is actually going on! |

As guitar amp and speaker technology starts to catch up with the rest of the world, I really like Woodman's suggestion of a "Mojo Index" that incorporates different factors such as volume, tone, durability, portability, durability, efficiency (power output/power consumption), design quality, and general coolness. Tone will always be subjective and elusive, but decible levels over a range of frequencies might be useful. Also, as electricity gets more expensive, people will become more aware of the amount of energy their audio toys consume. In an age of greener marketing, a rating like the "EnergyStar" system used for appliances and computers could apply to audio appliances. For musicians, energy efficiency is probably less important than other factors, but in the not-too-distant-future, if you're trying to power your entire home on a 500 watt solar unit... It's nice to know you can jam out without having to unplug the fridge. Another crucial element, at least to me, is weight. My aching back really needs to find an good-sounding amplifier capabale of producing quality clean tones, comparable to a Twin, without weighing in at 87 lbs. Solid state, digital modeling, and neodymium speakers are promising, but I don't think they can deliver yet... |

So, to find I for a 100 watt amp into an 8 ohm load: First find the AC voltage value... V = P/R = 100/8 = 28.28VAC (Voltage swing across the load is: 28.28 x 1.414 x 2 = ~80V peak to peak) Therefore: I = V/R = 28.28/8 = 3.535 Amps But in practise, it is pretty much impossible to measure power into a reactive speaker load, so you would have to use a dummy load resistor... which is also inaccurate for a valve amplifier which employs an output trasformer. It's only an idea of ball park power being generated. Have fun! |

Hi Stewart,
I am the happy owner of one of your Session Stockton amps, so I can at least confirm that you can produce fine sounding and bloody loud SS amps in lightweight 1X12 cabinets. My query extends to the tonality. Let me explain.The Stockton is of course voiced on one channel particularly to recreate HankMarvin/Shadows VoxAC30 type response as heard on a recording whilst the other channel is of broader scope. In both cases it can get in the ball park of the valve amps that it is deigned to emulate, but after a couple of hours playing, my ears seem to get more tired than with a valve amp. There seems to be a certain "hardness" to the sound - something slightly less organic. Is this my imagination or is this the reality of analog SS? Incidentally, I get the same feeling with Tech 21 stuff which is I guess, your nearest US peer group/competition. Ted |

use your ears to compare and choose an amp, not the specs
the only accurate "scientific" comparison would have identical (preferably flat) tonal response through the amps compared, and that will never happen Ken |

Friend of Leo's
The wattage of an amp is directly proportional to your back strain. 20 watt amps tend to be less iron in the transformers. 5 watts are almost toyish in weight. But 100 watts is a back breaker. (All this discussionis relavent to tube amps).
Therefore, I conclude that watts have more to do with weight than decibels. I think it was mentioned above, that smaller speakers can greatly affect the db levels, regardless of the amplifier rating. The speakers are often rated to match the wattage of an amp, but there is a large margin of efficacy involved. BTW, I think a truer form of measuring sound levels are with SPL (Sound Pressure Level). SPL apparently takes into account frequencies and distance anomolies. A favorite quote from a guitar playing friend of mine: "It was so freaking loud, I couldn't even hear it.". |

This was suggested by some of the others but the bottom line is this. Watts are measured at the speaker terminals. Decibels are measured in the room, some distance away from the amp. This adds variables that the amp manufacturer has no control over. They are not selling you the room, only the amp. With that in mind, using watts makes perfect sense.

I wish I could offer you an explanation... but I guess the 'valve fairies' are wispering in your lug 'oles naughty things like... "Are you sure you should be using this fake?" or "Of course, it's NOT the real thing you know" or "But it's not even got a single valve in it anywhere!" Auto suggestion is a very real thing... not only that, but your Stockton is about 1/3rd the size of an AC30. And everyone knows a bigger box gives a far more satisfying tone. Well, at least, they should know that!! Hey keep it fun Ted and thanks for your kind words. |

I think percieved volume has a lot to do with how an amp is voiced as well as speaker area (amount of air moved) and speaker type. My 35 wt Dr Z can appear insanely loud through two 12 celestions. if i put it up against my home stereo it cuts right through.
Home rig consists of high current (big power supply) tube monoblocks with 6 6550s per side rated at 220 wts. speakers have two 5 in mids and a 10 in woof rated at at least 93 db/m and they may even be 98db/m efficiency. i think the high end stereo amps use a lot of the power for speaker dampning to keep the bottom controled though how that works, bewond requiring high current capacity, i have no clue. i just know that for 220 watt they are not that loud. There's that rule of thumb that it takes 10x power to double your Dbs...all else being equal. thing is those other things ain't often equal |

Guitar speakers are extremely efficient over a narrow band of frequencies. They are F1 by comparison. Hifi speakers, to get a broad range, are designed notoriously inefficient! So 220W in hifi can be nothing that special. Especially when hif speakers are generally only 93dB sensitivity. This is 9dB less than a good guitar type, so your 220 watts is, in guitar amp/speaker terms, only 27.5 watts loud!! Heavy damping will make your tube amp sound like a tranny amp... tranny amps have extremely low output impedances and sound 'flat' (as in unexciting) in the low and higher frequencies! Regular tube amps are hopelessly inaccurate for hifi reproduction... but they 'sound' cuddly and flabby in the bass areas... if that's what you like, due to their high output impedance and resultant lack of LF 'cone control' or damping! The only similarity between guitar amps and hifi is that they both use amplifiers and speakers... beyond that, there's no comparison at all! Actually, 10 times the power is twice as loud! 3dB, is double the power... far less than twice as loud! |

thanks for the explination of the "tranny amp" that shows why they can accomodate a 4 ohm nominal load with lower dips. Flat in stereo land = neutral where the source supplies the excitement so that makes sence too.
i did say 10x the power was double the volume |

'24' deserves all awards: Kunal Kohli
Mumbai, Oct 6 : So far only two episodes of Anil Kapoor's maiden TV show "24" have unfolded on the small screen and it was enough to impress filmmaker Kunal Kohli who feels that the suspense thriller deserves all the awards.
Kohli, who directed movies like "Mujhse Dosti Karoge!", "Hum Tum" and "Fanaa", also believes that it is time to revamp television, which is dominated by saas-bahu sagas.
"'24' has me hooked. Deserves all the awards this year, except best jaithani-devrani. Re-tweet if you agree that Indian TV needs a major re-haul," Kohli posted on Twitter.
He had previously tweeted about the show, saying: "'24' is new dawn on Indian television."
"24", the Indian version of the popular US suspense thriller of the same name, went on air Friday on Colors. The show stars Anil as Jai Singh Rathod, the Indian version of Jack Bauer. He is joined by the likes of Tisca Chopra, Anupam Kher and Mandira Bedi in the cast.
Well-known actress Shabana Azmi will also be seen in a cameo in the show.
Kohli, whose last directorial venture was Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra-starrer love saga "Teri Meri Kahaani", has also raised questions about the preferences of television audiences.
"I don't believe Indian audiences only want to see shows about family sagas. Why then are only those made? It's like a national epidemic," he wrote.

Distinct Count of values, but need a wildcard
If I use this query:
SELECT name,COUNT(*) as count FROM tablename GROUP BY name ORDER BY count DESC; The background is, I have a field in my table that contains URL's. There are plenty that are in the same domain...ie www.codingforums.com, however, they all contain different points of reference after the .com. More specifically, my question is I want to search for number of occurrences for the domains. They all should begin either http:// or https:// but not all would have the www. and such. Not sure it is possible but figured I would ask since Google searching didn't really give me anything useful to go off of. |
It will count *ALL* records *PER NAME*. If you wanted a count of DISTINCT VALUES then you would need to use: Code:
SELECT name, COUNT( DISTINCT fieldname ) AS count Code:
SELECT name, COUNT( fieldname ) AS count *********** Having cleared that up... Quote:
There's no simple way build into MySQL. It's true that MySQL has regular expressions, which would seem the ideal way, but unfortunately they are limited to use with the RLIKE operator. So you could easily search for all occurrences of codingforums.com for example, but FINDING all the domains is much trickier. A lot of it will depend on how "regular" the contents of that field are. Does the field *ONLY* contain URLs? Or does it contain URLs embedded within text? e.g., Quote:
The field only contains URL's, no additional text...
The URL's are formed more like http://www.codingforums.com/newreply...te=1&p=1303255 rather than just www.codingforums.com |
*IF* all the fields contain *ONLY* URLs of the form
http(s)://(www.)xxxxx.yyy/anything http://download.microsoft.com ? That is, a subdomain?Are you worried about them? I think it would be tough to create a simple expression to look for those, as well. Ignoring subdomains, this SEEMS to work: Code:
How it works:
First, we concat a '/' to the end of the URL, just in case there is none there already. Then we replace 'http://' and 'https://' and 'www.' with nothing. That gets us down to something like codingforums.com/gobbledygook/ So then we use LOCATE to find the first '/' in that (which MIGHT be the one we added at the first step). And then we use SUBSTR to get all the characters up to but not including that first '/'. Make sense? |
If it's not obvious, that will collect subdomains separately from their domains.
That is, you might get something like this: Code:
microsoft.com 119 |
I *can* get rid of subdomains. It's just much more complex.
The first thought is to just get rid of everything in front of the first period. That simplifies things tremendously: No more need to distinguish between http: and https: BUT... What about domains with *NO* prefix? Example: What if you have just http://ebay.com/xxx ?If I strip every thing before (and including) the first period we would end up with just com OOPS? |

Every galvanic or voltaic cell is made up of two half-cells, the oxidation half-cell (anode) and the reduction half-cell (cathode). The potentials of these half-cells are always different. On account of this difference in electrode potentials, the electric current moves from the electrode at higher potential to the electrode at lower potential, i.e., from cathode to anode. The direction of the flow of electrons is from anode to cathode.
Flow of electrons
Anode <==============> Cathode
Flow of current
The difference in potentials of the two half-cells is known as the electromotive force (emf) of the cell or cell potential.
The emf of the cell or cell potential can be calculated from the values of electrode potentials of the two half-cells constituting the cell. The following three methods are in use:
(i) When oxidation potential of anode and reduction potential of cathode are taken into account:
ECello = Oxidation potential of anode
+ Reduction potential of cathode
= Eoxo (anode) + Eredo (cathode)
(ii) When reduction potentials of both electrodes are taken into account:
ECello = Reduction potential of cathode - Reduction potential of anode
= ECathodeo - EAnodeo
= Erighto - Elefto
(iii) When oxidation potentials of both electrodes are taken into account:
= Oxidation potential of anode - Oxidation potential of cathode
ECello = Eoxo (anode) - Eredo (cathode)
Difference between Emf and potential difference:
The potential difference is the difference between the electrode potentials of the two electrodes of the cell under any condition while emf is the potential generated by a cell when there is zero electron flow, i.e., it draws no current. The points of difference are given below:
Potential difference
1. It is the potential difference between two electrodes when no current is flowing in the circuit.
2. It is the maximum voltage that the cell can deliver.
3. It is responsible for the steady flow of current in the cell.
1. It is the difference of the electrode potentials of the two electrons two electrodes when the cell is under operation.
2. It is always less than the maximum the cell can deliver.
3. It is not responsible for the steady flow of current in the cell.

Dr. P. Bhanumathy, Professor of Kerala Varma College, Thrissur, who runs a day care center for mentally handicapped, has been selected for the award constituted by the Manavaseva Dharmasamvardhini Trust, Chennai, this year. For
Bhanumathy, the care of mentally handicapped adults is an extension of her
commitment to her mother. Her
mother had the misfortune of raising 3 mentally retarded children besides
Bhanumathy. Clasping the
unfortunate children to her bosom, Karthyayini Amma used to pray to God:
"Oh, Lord, call them to You before You call me." It
was from this background that her interest in mentally handicapped adults
begin. She had a brilliant
academic record, which would have fetched her the best of salary anywhere
in the world. She did her
doctorate in radiation biochemistry from a Japanese University.
Later she did post-doctoral study in Germany.
It was after this that she joined the College. She
started serving the unfortunate ones by forming the 'Association for
Mentally Handicapped Adults' (AMHA). It soon started functioning from a small room in the LP
School at Puthurkkara, Thrissur. The
mentally handicapped would be brought to the center and taken care of till
evening. With love and care,
the visitors soon showed remarkable improvement.
This became the inspiration for her to widen the scope of AMHA. Now
the day care center operates in a rented house at Poonkunnam.
22 persons between 12 and 40 receive love care during daytime
there. Bhanumathy's salary
is the main working capital of the center. She
has an understanding husband in Saleesh, who is now in England.
For Bhanumathy had decided long ago not to have her own children
lest her love for the mentally challenged ones get diluted. Courtesy: C.A.Krishnan, Kerala Kaumudi, March 3, 2002 Contributed by: Administrator |

Cedar Rapids, IA Linn County Public Health is issuing an air quality advisory for the next 24 hours. During this time period, people sensitive to air pollution including those with heart or lung disease and older adults should consider reducing activities that involve prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. The general population may find air quality to be acceptable.
Overnight, elevated ambient levels of fine particulate matter above the daily air quality health standard of 35 mg/m3 were observed. A peak hourly level of 52 mg/m3 was observed around 3:00am this morning. Levels continue to remain above the health standard of 35 mg/m3 and will likely remain elevated throughout the day.
Fine and coarse particles can cause a variety of serious health problems. Effects including higher rates of hospitalization and emergency room visits for high risk individuals have been associated with short-term exposures lasting 24 hours or less. Particles can aggravate heart disease such as congestive heart failure and lung diseases such as asthma and bronchitis.
You can reduce your exposure to particles by 1) planning strenuous activity when particle levels are forecast to be lower, 2) reducing the amount of time spent at vigorous activity, or 3) choosing a less strenuous activity (e.g., going for a walk instead of a jog).
Tips for reducing particle pollution on days when level are expected to be high:
Real-time and historic ambient air quality monitoring data is posted on the Linn County Public Health Air Quality Website at www.linncleanair.org. For further questions, please contact the air quality branch at 892-6000.

Bluetooth Low Energy (LE, or BLE, or Smart) is all about sending and receiving data just like any other Bluetooth device, but doing so using much less power. It's ideally suited for M2M applications where a device wakes up, transmits or receives data, then goes back to sleep. The Bluetooth SIG specifies myriad application profiles from healthcare ("Blood Pressure Profile") to Sports and Fitness. At the recent DESIGN West 2013 conference, editor-in-chief Chris A. Ciufo got the lowdown on Laird's new BL600 Bluetooth LE Smart modules.
At the recent DESIGN West 2013 conference in San Jose, Microchip unleashed a "broad expansion" of new wireless products targeting the M2M, connected cloud, and intelligent devices spaces. There's also a new PIC32 digital audio development kit for Bluetooth audio streaming, plus 802.15.4 modules for ZigBee.
Editor Chris A. Ciufo got a chance to chat briefly with Tyler Smith, Product Marketing Manager, Wireless Products Division of Microchip. Click on the video to hear this on-target 3-minute interview.
EnerChip smart solid state batteries are made using semiconductor process on silicon wafers. EnerChips can be used in bare die form and co-packaged with other integrated circuits in a single package. This Embedded Energy configuration means energy storage can be integrated into devices where legacy batteries and super capacitors cannot be used.

An FPGA Approach to Implementing Time-Critical Functions in Multi-Sensor Mobile Designs.
The quality and flexibility of digital signage is a function of the graphics processing capability of the media players that drive the displays. To deliver a high level of graphics performance, media players tend to incorporate discrete graphics processing units, although some players use the graphics engine on the CPU platform. Discover how 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors provide retailers improved graphics performance and anonymous video analytics to deliver audience messaging at lower cost and watt.
This white paper describes several aspects of power related to the Xilinx® 28 nm 7 series FPGAs, including the TSMC 28 nm high-k metal gate (HKMG), high performance, low power (28 nm HPL or 28 HPL) process choice. The power benefits afforded by the 28 HPL process and its usefulness across Xilinx's full product offerings is described as well as the architectural innovations and features for power reduction across the dimensions of static power, dynamic power, and I/O power.
Conceived and designed for high-volume markets, Artix-7 FPGAs deliver the lowest power consumption and lowest cost in the 7 series. The family shares the same building blocks as the Kintex-7 and Virtex-7 FPGA architecture on the same 28 nm High Performance, Low Power (HPL) process, but transistor-level design choices enable the Artix-7 family to offer much lower power consumption while still meeting the performance needs of the target applications.
