Two young American men travel to Moscow to sell their social networking/party locating software. Whilst at a nightclub, they venture outside to see what is believed to be, an Aurora Borealis. However, the light separates and falls from the sky. They discover that the lights are aliens, using the power supply to hunt and kill humans.

- I like hiking, camping, fishing, snowboarding, swimming... basically, doing things outside. And making beer it turns out. My adolescent quest for cheap hooch has turned into a magical all-grain wonderland.
- Civil Engineer
- Country sucks. Rap sucks more. I like pretty much everything else though.
- Super Troopers Beerfest
- Kenny Vs. Spenny
- Started making wine kits (which I still do). Got into it because it was cheap. Tried making a beer kit that had pre-made wort because it was cheap and seemed interesting. Got bit by the bug, eventually tried an extract recipe and now AG recipes. I went as cheap and as compact as possible. I am living proof that you can brew AG in a 1bdr. apartment and put everything away when you are done.

Internal website duplication has been one of the more common issues with client SEO audit reports. Websites that are prone to identical, or very close to identical, content that can be found on one or multiple pages can benefit from the new <link rel="canonical"> tag to help solve duplication problems. Here's a quick example of how this new tag works.
Let's say you have an ecommerce website with sorting capabilities for product sizes, colors, etc. The same content might appear on these three different URLs:
Now, you can simply add the <link rel="canonical"> tag to specify your preferred version such as:
<link rel="canonical" href="hxxp://www.123example.com/products/bluewidget" />. You would place this inside the <head> section of all of the duplicate content URLs, such as:
Google will understand that the duplicates all refer to only the canonical URL: 123example.com/products/bluewidget. Further, any additional URL properties, such as PageRank and related values, are transferred as well.
Prior to this tag the only real way to ensure that internal duplication problems are not occurring within your website was to add a META noindex, nofollow or noindex, follow to possible duplicated pages.
You can read more about implementing the <link> tag at Yahoo, Google, and MSN. If you're using Drupal, WordPress, or Magento as your CMS, you can also check out Joost de Valk's page on canonical links. He has included a plugin or module to add the <links> tag within your Drupal, WP, or Magento website.
Hey Brian,
Thanks for the wonderful information. This would surely save me some sleepless nights in trying to figure out what to with the problem you have pointed out here :)
But what are your thoughts on URL Mode Re-writing / 301 Redirection. Cause, I faced a similar problem with one of my projects and we used the above two techniques to over come it.
The solution provided by you is surely much more simple to understand and implement and addresses the reasons for which we used both the above techniques. But still wanted to know your thoughts on the above.

Tornadoes Leave Nothing but Grief Across Midwest
Description:Like a scene from a movie, a tornado marches across a field, engulfing everything in its path. Meanwhile, from indoors, a man recites the lord's prayer, hoping for survival. This amateur video was shot Sunday during one of the many tornadoes that ripped through Illinois and Indiana. In Washington, Illinois, foundations from where homes once stood now lay barren. Elsewhere, cars are overturned among scattered debris in flattened neighborhoods. (0:50)

All white let's get this bio started!! Just a play on words. Sorry I'm being goofy. It's pretty much in my nature as anyone who knows me will tell you. I'm Lily, a 3 year old female. I'm a little boxer (40lbs) in size but I make up for in personality and affection as my foster family can tell you. I'm a great girl who loves attention. Wherever you go - I want to be with you. That's because I love people and other dogs. I need to go to a home with other dogs as I am deaf and need them for my ears. I live with 3 other dogs now and they help me greatly. I can be with one or more than one - no matter to me. I love to go on walks ... (Read More)but need more leash training as I do like to check everything out. I do great at the dog park also and love that if you would take me. I also love to play with humans. During the day I am crated. I will tell you I don't like the crate by my mom and dad have been working with me on this. I will bark sometimes in the crate but will settle down and just rest after a while. I know it's for my own good and I will get it in time. My humans have been working with me on hand signals. I know some and other ones I am still learning. When evening rolls around I will lay by your feet while you relax or watch TV. When it's bed time I sleep right beside the bed on my dog bed. I sleep really good because I don't hear anything to wake me up! So if I'm sleeping and you pet or nudge me I get startled. Best to let me wake and see you move. Don't worry I will follow no problem. Take a look at my pictures. You won't be able to resist my purdy face and petite size. DOGS: Great with dogs! CATS: I can live with kitties! KIDS: I shine with kids, but because of the 'startle' factor of a deafie, we recommend no little ones. HOUSETRAINED: Yep OBEDIENCE TRAINING: I am well mannered and learning more every day! CRATE SKILLS: Like most deafies, I can howl in the crate, but I'm learning it's a safe place when I'm home alone. LEASH SKILLS: Working on it! HEALTH STATUS: I am deaf. Also being white with fair skin, care will need to be taken when it's sunny. Sunscreen for babies works like a charm! ENERGY LEVEL: High, but I crash out too! Adoption donation is $250.

Brice is a handsome 2 year old male Harrier mix with alot of energy. Because he is a large dog of about 60 pounds, he was too much for most of the volunteers to handle when he first arrived at our shelter. One of the animal technicians decided to take him to basic obedience training. Brice did well in training, but still needs to be trained further and worked with on a daily basis. Brice is a very active dog and he needs someone who is willing to play with him for hours. He is a very smart dog and we would prefer for his owner to be an experienced dog owner. He can be gentle and calm once he settles down, but he will need daily walks, ... (Read More)hikes, or toy playing to work off all that energy. He even knows how to run on a treadmill for anyone who is willing to let him run on theirs. Brice is good with little kids from what we have witnessed, and he is good with most other dogs. We are not sure about cats, but he seems to be interested in them. He is friendly, confident, athletic, and active. He loves food, toys, walks, and just playing. Brice has gone through basic obedience class and is ready for an intermediate class.

Linda is the sweetest 8yr old owner surrender, and despite her grey muzzle, she is active, healthy, and full of beans!! We affectionately call her a 'Cougar'!! DOGS: I like other dogs and I like to play! But don't jump me or overwhelm me at first, I am a little shy and on guard when meeting new friends and I like to guard my bones, I will share stuffy toys though! (Like all dogs, we encourage a responsible introduction to new dogs she meets) CATS: I have 3 foster cats in my house, I like to look at them but that's it... KIDS: Kids are great! Just don't climb on me or pull my tail, and we will get along jussst fine! ... (Read More)HOUSETRAINED: Take me out and I'll go! I also head to the door when it's my time OBEDIENCE TRAINING: Sit, stay, and lay down are so easy, people,... I am mature, I know my stuff by now!

Nil. Nada. Nope. PERKS & QUIRKS: I am a petite and chill gal that deceives everyone I meet with my active button. My foster brother is a little rugrat and I have NO problem playing with him, see us in action in this video! http://youtu.be/tr8gZaJKZjo It's a 50/50 guess whether I get excited or scared to meet new people so don't be offended if I am scared at first, I come around quickly with encouragement from my foster parents. If I like you watch out, I like to jump on you but foster dad says this is not appropriate so I am learning to keep all 4 paws on the floor! I like to growl at everything and anything including poo I find on walks, so cut me some slack, I really am just trying to talk to you! I am learning trust and to share head scratch time with other dogs...did I mention I really like to cuddle? HEALTH STATUS: My teeth have been neglected but the rescue was so nice they got me a dental at the vet and now I am going to be smiling pretty and ready for my new home! I had a few lumps removed and one came back as Mast Cell. This is VERY common with boxers. It is not a death sentence - lumpies just need to be checked out!

Rescue Me ID: 15-01-20-00327Mama (female) Mama's story is a sad one... She was placed on the euthanasia list immediately after arriving at County because of the shape she was in. This sweet girl was believed to have either been a bait dog or was mauled by a pack of dogs because she was in heat. Mama was completely shut down, however, after a few months in foster care she is a completely different dog! She had severe entropion and had to have surgery on both eyes. The vet thinks she is around 2 years old at this point. She is very athletic and loves to play by she is very gentle and will settle when you ask her to. She is crate trained, knows basic commands. She LOVES people but is ... (Read More)dog selective. With a proper introduction and structure in the house she does well with other dogs. She has not been introduced to any cats so we do not know her temperament around them. Older children would probably be best for little Mama. She is now spayed, UTD on her vaccines, and microchipped. This little girl really needs a chance at a forever home and a second chance at life! Her scars tell a tale of misery, but her heart holds no grudges. Her adoption fee is just $50.

PIease Read Before Adopting a Boxer in Arizona | |||||||||
Boxer Dogs can make good pets in Arizona if they match your IifestyIe. Boxer dogs are energetic, playful and intelligent animals, they like to clown around a lot and will keep you laughing. Boxers learn new things quickly, and, at the same time, can be clever and stubborn. Boxer dogs bond well with a family, are very affectionate and get along well with children. Boxers need a lot of exercise, and will be well-behaved as long as they are taken on long walks every day. If kept confined without a lot of exercise, however, boxer dogs can become destructive. Boxers require lots of human companionship and should never be left alone for long periods of time.

How to Tell Child She Can't Play With Neighbor Anymore
I'm trying to figure out how best to tell my almost 5 year old daughter she won't be playing with her little girlfriend next door anymore.
It wasn't my choice, it was the girl's mother or maybe the little girl, I don't know. Nothing happened as far as I can tell. They really liked playing together. We had made plans to take the girls trick or treating and the day before she blew me off via email (after I initially contacted her twice to confirm our plans) saying they decided to go somewhere else. Sorry. I was annoyed as this wasn't the first incidence of flakiness. I thanked her for letting me know, and said we would try to find someone else to go with, otherwise my daughter would be very disappointed. I also mentioned that we also had other offers, but declined because we already had plans with the neighbors. After that, she's been avoiding us, even went back into her house one day when she saw me pulling out of my driveway.
It's not a problem for me. Problem is my daughter just loves her little neighbor friend and keeps asking if she can go knock on her door and ask her to play. I find the situation awkward so I just keep making excuses like she's not home, we have too much to do right now, etc.
I don't quite know how to tell my little girl they don't want to play with her anymore.
Any advice?
Sometimes we adults have to put our personal differences aside and "play nice" for our kids sake.

Hide this ad by registering as a memberMarch 31st, 2011 #62It's an interesting scene you've painted but so far all the eye catching parts are in the lower left part, the pale blue light gives a good sense of depth to the rest of the jungle. Are you planning on doing anything with the higher canopy?

Hey Mila I'm liking your WIP, a little critique:
Check your values frequently, it's a bit dark I think you could push the lighter values a bit more to make it 'pop'; but it's looking good! Keep it up!
April 5th, 2011 #64Caspia - You're right about the left side of the picture. I'll hope I can even it out by clearing up the upper canopy and adding more detail to the right and center. I was thinking of raising the canopy way up.
Saltfox - Thanks. I will work on that. :]
I haven't touched the jungle piece lately due to school assignments and other studies, but I really dó want to see it properly finished. Meanwhile, I've been producing all kinds of things.
- First up: two new sketches for environments in perspective.
Don't really like the first one yet, looks kinda boring. I have 'an idea' what I
want to do with the 2nd one. It will probaly end up as a scifi piece.
- Sunny told me to check out daily sketchgroups; which I did. I made this quick character based on one of the daily sketchgroup topics, but dind't bother posting it. I'll probaly end up in the EOW subforum :] Still, thanks to Sunny for the advice!
- Hogarth studies from my new book - I swear, I felt like I was drawing whistles.
- Then I tried Loomis, which I liked better as well.
- More Hogarth.
- Doodles around with making a brush. Then made a tree with it.
- Cartooonish drawings.
That's all for today - I'll try and finish up the jungle piece ánd finally finish another piece that's coming along.
April 5th, 2011 #65I'll just go ahead and call this one finished. I still don't like the entrance to the building, but I spend too much time on it already. I might change it later but now it's time to get cranking on the others!...
Detail shots below.

April 9th, 2011 #67There's visible improvement from your initial posts to the newer ones good progress .
My suggestion for your perspective studies (which are pretty boss) would be to move your vanishing points farther apart. That will help avoid the warped look. (see example below)
An extreme shot can work with something like post 67, but can look a little weird for a shot like post 8 image 2.
I really like the way your textures are working in post 62.
More plz

April 9th, 2011 #68Hi! Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook!
I really, REALLY love your more organic environments. The trees are especially great. I agree about trying to add some lighter values in there to increase contrast.
For your cityscapes, consider playing with atomospheric perspective. Due to particles in the air (moisture, smog, etc.) things that are farther away get muddier, fuzzier, and closer to gray. To show depth or distance, consider using muddier colors and fuzzier lines for things in the background or father towards the ground for your overheads.
Looking forward to more!

April 11th, 2011 #69Rhubix: Thanks you for the kind words and advice. I've been told about the vanishing points before, but your drawings made it more clear to me! I'll bear this in mind for the latest piece. More's coming!
autumncoloredmelodie I'm glad you like it. I will try and do more organic drawings. I've also added more lighter values in the update below; it's getting there, but I think it still needs some more work.
April 14th, 2011 #70Man I'm slacking lately... But I made something, and it's a very quick arctic environment study.
I also tried to do some pencil drawing again, but it's been ages since I've handdrawn things it seems. I really need to practice more... and draw more, obviously.
Anywho, I was reading one of my favorite Gaunt's Ghosts novels again and I figured it would be cool to try and imagine what a Wirewolf would look like when hanging from it's gibbet. It's horrible looking, but I might try a few more of them later.
I'm also going to call this jungle piece finished. I'm fed up with it. Time for something else. :p

TomdeVis : Thank you, I'll do my best!
Pfew! So, for the last three days I've been working hard in a team of 5 ( along with 8 other teams ) in a competition to design and build a game. The game was to be played with a mechanical tool built by other students, functioning as a revaliidation tool. I made a few backgrounds and worked on a healthbar.
You can see a little of our work below! Will post more in a later stage. :]

May 1st, 2011 #76My lack of posting and drawing is unacceptable, and that's why I decided to spend my one week vacation as productive as possible! This week I'm going to follow a tight study schedule I've drawn up myself.
I will focus on colour and environments on one day, and figure drawing, posture, etc. on another.
- 20 Human Poses/gestures
- 2 hour Loomis study
- 1 Character of the Day
- 5 Greyscale environment thumbnails
- 1 Greyscale thumbnail picked out and polished
- 1 Hour color study
- 20 Poses/gestures
- 2 hour Loomis study
- 1 Character of the Day
- 10 Greyscale environment thumbnails
- 1 Greyscale thumbnail picked out and polished
- 1 Hour color study
- 30 Poses/gestures
- 2 hour Loomis study
- 1 hour Bridgeman study
- 1 Character of the Day
- 15 Greyscale environment thumbnails
- 1 Greyscale thumbnail picked out and polished
- 1 Hour color study
- 30 Poses/gestures
- 2 hour Loomis study
- 1 hour Bridgeman study
- 1 hour Hogarth study
- 1 Character of the Day
I started today, however, with some environment thumbnails and worked on another greyscale piece I already had.
I seem to detail my thumbnails too much... which has become pretty time-consuming to do.

All pencil drawings ( figures and such ) will come later, but I'll just focus on digital stuff. Here's something for today:
A quick colour study and two thumbnails, along with a bigger version of one of my earlier thumbs. I might do this one in colour sometime soon.

Detlef: Thank you, I appreciate your visit!
It's been a while since I posted, but this new project will set me off in the right direction again. It's time to start my favorite part of this project: painting environment concepts.
The game is based upon the story of Snowwhite and the 7 Dwarves.
Shown below is the first of a few pieces I'm working on.
Another piece , still wip and in greyscale.
A character modelsheet.
And lastly, I decided to finish up this colour-study from the movie Battle Los Angeles.
Expect more stuff this week!

Currently I'm busy as hell with a schoolproject. Right now we're in the proces of texturing all the 3D models. I'm no good at it, I discovered. :/

Keep going.
May 24th, 2011 #90Tides, thank you for your kind words! I like to set moods anywhere. Even when I'm not painting.
I looked at this piece, again, and thought it needed something more. ( Besides more work and polishing and basic proper rendering :p )
I tried to add some lurking fighters attacking the high and mighty of a fleet. I wanted to capture the clouds from where they came dark, filled with lighting and evil looking. While the sky above is filled with radiant and pure sunlight ( and where the goody two shoes spacefleet is on parade )
If I work hard on this, I might just have a very nice sci-fi environment that has a nifty good vs evil tale being presented!
Thoughts on this are very welcome :]

The Vancouver Canucks announced via the team Twitter page that Cody Hodgson may not participate in the team's training camp or pre-season games because of back problems. They also indicated the problem doesn't require surgery.
Hodgson, who was drafted 10th overall by the Canucks in 2008, missed all but 13 regular season games last season for the Ontario League's Brampton Battalion. He has not been at Vancouver's rookie camp, which is currently in session. He has been struggling with back problems since sustaining the injury while training in 2009.
Was making Ray Shero GM a good move by the Devils?

When the past calls
April 26, 2014 § 22 Comments
The bigness of the SPY 2014 Belgian Waffle Ride has almost gotten out of hand, such that it's having a hard time fitting inside the vast vacuum of even my own head. Most of us are going over the details, endlessly. Will my iPhone battery last? Will my food supplies last? Will my tires last?
And of course, "Will I last?"
But that's not all. Some have taken to the airwaves to bash the event, a sign that you not only can't please everyone, but if you do it right, you'll displease exactly the right people. Others have sneered and point out that THEIR ride is longer, harder, dirtier, more grueling, etc.
And of course there are the daily BWR emails from the organizers that whip you into a frenzy just as soon as you've settled down. Don't forget to set up a Strava account! Don't forget your Garmin! Don't change waves! Don't speed on the dirt descents! Don't be a wanker!
For some, the pressure gets to be too much, and that's when the doctor's notes, the lingering boo-boos, the kiddy soccer matches, the honey-do's, and the stark reality of "I haven't been training hard enough" begin to knock riders out of contention before the ride even starts. Yet it does beg the question, "Why in the world are you doing this?"
Why, indeed?
Matt McSuccess
I wish you'd known Matt McSuccess in his heyday. He was blonde, handsome, quick on the bike, and more filled with smack talk than a heroin wholesaler. But like so many, he walked away from cycling to raise a family, build a career, and live a normal life. We had stayed in touch sporadically over the last thirty years, usually thanks to his willingness to reach out.
As I was riding down San Vicente this morning, the phone rang. I pulled over and answered it. It was Matt. "Hey, man! How are you?" I asked.
"Great!" Then he got straight to the point. "I'm training and racing again. What's up with you?"
I told him, and we made plans to get together in June, when I'll be in Houston for a week. He's going to drive down from Austin and we'll spend a day enjoying the hell out of some riding and perhaps some beer as well.
His phone call put me in the best of moods. It brought back so many memories, memories of funny things, like the morning he rear-ended a Honda in his giant Suburban in front of the whole gang. He was late for the ride and driving there instead of riding. The Honda driver wasn't hurt, and we laughed ourselves silly at his mistake.
Sad memories, too, like the passing of Matt's best friend — and a friend to all of us –Richard Turner. Richard was a great bike racer and talented triathlete whose heart stopped while doing a swim workout.
And of course happy memories, like his marriage to Cheryl in the big Catholic church there on Guadalupe in Austin, right across from campus. These things that we experienced in our youth, all connected somehow to cycling, became memories which, in turn, became part of the fabric of my life. Hearing Matt's voice brought it all back.
Kids do the darndest things
As I finished my ride, pedaling through Hermosa Beach, I saw Michelle. "Seth!" she yelled. She was standing with a group of about eight kids, none of whom were older than about eleven or twelve.
"Hi, Michelle. What's up?"
"Do you have a wrench for this?" She pointed to the front fork of one of the bikes. It was a fixie with no brakes, and the wheel was secured with a bolt rather than a quick release.
"You'll need a crescent wrench," I said. "I don't have one." The kids didn't know what to do, and they looked lost. One of them had a big backpack that must have weighed thirty pounds. "What's all the stuff in the pack?" I asked.
The oldest kid swung off his pack and unzipped it. He was carrying a floor pump. "We figured we might need something if we got a flat," he said.
"Where are you kids coming from?" I asked.
"Compton," they said.
"That's a long, long way."
"Well," said Michelle. "If you keep going to the pier and go up the hill there's a bike shop next to the ice cream shop. It's about a mile from here."
The kid with the flat looked anxious. "How much are they gonna charge me to fix it?"
"I don't know," said Michelle. "Don't you have any money?"
The kids looked at each other. "We got about three dollars if we put all our money together," said the one with the flat.
Michelle dug into her jersey pocket and fished out ten dollars. "Here," she said. "This should get your tire changed."
The boys all grinned as if something amazing had just happened which, in a way, it had. What had happened is that they had started out on an adventure, and unpredictable things had happened, and by the time they got back home that night they would have stories to tell.
They would have memories, and my guess is that they would be memories of a lifetime, simply because they got up one morning and decided to go ride their bikes.
Since you asked …
Whether it's Matt and the rear-ender, the nice lady who gave ten bucks to a bunch of kids, or the 136-mile odyssey through North County San Diego on the Belgian Waffle Ride, the thing that makes experience more than an existential pinpoint is the memory of it. Delete the emails if there are too many of them; forget about your gearing and tires; to hell with the fact that you'll finish in the bottom third if you finish at all.
Do it for the moment, do it for the memory.

The course is only part of the course
April 25, 2014 § 20 Comments
There are three things that make a course: the route, the weather, and the riders.
The 2014 SPY Belgian Waffle Ride offers up a route like no other. Much has been written about it, and each rider will discover the extraordinary difficulty of this 136-mile torture chamber at his leisure. The weather will likely be dry and cool with a moderate wind.
When it comes to riders, though, most of us will have only a fleeting glance of the strongest participants, as they will storm away in the first wave, never to be seen until the finish. If you are one of the people who is showing up to the BWR in order win a jersey, here's a snapshot of a few of the people you'll have to beat.
- Ryan Trebon. Pro cyclocross racer and sponsored SPY rider, former U.S. national champion.
- Neil Shirley. First place finisher in the Belgian Waffle Ride's 2013 edition, and one of the best professional riders in America.
- Dan Cobley. Don't let the Cat 3 fool you. He finished fourth last year behind Neil, Thurlow Rogers, and Karl Bordine.
- Brent Prenzlow. He's an uncategorized "public" rider. He also made mincemeat of virtually the entire field in the inaugural 2012 BWR.
- Phil Tinstman. The best all-around masters racer in America. He time trials, sprints, climbs, and has exceptional off-road skills. Former sprint jersey winner in the 2012 edition. If Neil misses a pedal stroke, Phil's my pick to win it all.
- Chris DeMarchi. This is Chris's first BWR, and you can expect that he will ride it with a vengeance. Chris is also one of the best masters racers in America and is teammates with Phil. Look for a one-two combo from these two titans.
- John Abate. Lokalmotor from San Diego, John has the legs and the knowledge of the local roads to be there at the finish.
- Lars Finanger. Unhappily (for us) shipped off to Houston last year, Lars returns to his old stomping grounds where he can be expected to stomp people's heads in if he's on form.
- Michael Marckx. Will this be MMX's year? He knows every inch of the course because he designed it. He's riding with exceptional speed and strength. Could be awkward if the head honcho wins his own race!
- Ryan Dahl. Truly one of the beasts of North County and always a top finisher at the BWR, in 2013 Ryan earned the hardman jersey for toughest rider on the course.
- Brian Zink. The question mark here is fitness. If Brian is on form, he will storm the field, much as he did in 2012 when he won the hardman jersey, and last year when he finished sixth.
- David Jaeger. Winner of the inaugural BWR in 2012, DJ is currently on fire as evidenced by his podium finish in the state road race. If he carries it over to Sunday, he will be lethal.
- Logan Fiedler. If he hadn't been felled by a broken elbow earlier this year, Logan would be higher on this list as he's an excellent climber, skilled in the dirt, and has tremendous endurance.
- Robert Frank. Major Bob placed 16th last year with minimal training. This year he's scorching, earning 2nd place last weekend at the state road race. Lean, fast, an excellent climber, and equally comfortable on dirt and asphalt, a podium is not out of the question.
Given the fact that over 500 riders have signed up for the 2014 SPY Belgian Waffle Ride, there will certainly be surprises as well as strong riders who I'm simply unfamiliar with and have omitted out of ignorance. This list, however, should include at least a handful of the top finishers. Game on!

Good to see an old thread reviving.
Ok, first I'll re-open my PP2 and will certainly change the load resistor to 47K. I also need to fine tune the VTA of my arm for the Denon cartridge. Yes Henkel, I'll try to find your answer. Just a question why don't you try the MC input instead of the MM one. It has much higher gain (but probably to much but worth trying) The MM section seems to use a basic op-amp gain section. It is maybe not that difficult to figure how to increase the gain. We will see. I just hope your not in a hurry. I may take a few weeks before I have the time to look at the matter. I'll let you know. Bye... |

Thanks for your reply. I did try to use the MC input of the PP-2 but the RIAA equalisation is not set up for MM. The sound is louder at 52 db gain, but I got sound that's rolled off from high mids onwards. Kinda hard to describe but is a very mono like sound but in stereo! I still need the MM gain section to be higher. Your help is much appreciated. |

Henkel I got your answer. The gain is set by R37 (Left Channel), and R28 (Right). The default value is 249R, gain of about 34dB
If you parallel a resistor of this value with R37 or R38 you'll have these gains: R38 or R37 // 220R = Gain 40dB // 100R = Gain 45dB You should use metal film 1% resistor, otherwise you can have left and right gain missmatch. Solder the resistor on the bottom of the PCB, much easier. Try that and let me know. The image is showing where R37 and 38 are located. Have fun. |

the predecessor, the PP-1, was reviewed by Gary Galo in Audio Electronics 3-2000. He pointed out a couple egregious errors in the design (some were pretty glaring) which have hopefully been corrected in the PP-2. One of the designers responded to the critiques, but it was pretty lame.
One thing of note in your power supply -- the capacitors across the diodes just lower the ringing frequency -- possibly bringing it down into the "hearable" region -- remember that the secondary inductance and the diode capacitance form a resonant circuit. This actually becomes important in a low level gain stage like a phono preamp -- you can demonstrate the ringing in LTSpice. MUR860's have a capacitance of around 130pf at 24V -- try using a 390 ohm resistor in series with a 1nF capacitor -- |
29th August 2005, 01:56 PM | #17 |
diyAudio Member
here's what I mean in EWB -- the 220nF parallel cap puts the ringing frequency around 70kHz -- "inaudible" you might say, but problematic for the voltage regulators and potentially causing unexplainable offsets on the opamps:

This thread is turning into a treasure trove to NAD PP-2 users like me! Algar, you're a genius! I paralleled R37 and R38 resistors with your suggested resistor value of R100 and R 50, (47 actually) and got the gain that I want. The value of R100 gave a more laid back sound as with less gain, but the R47 gave a more dynamic kind of sound and it's louder too. The beauty is that the highs becomes very airy. I settled for the R47 resistors. I had the modded NAD benchmark against Trichord Research's Dino, a phono stage that is about 5X the price of the NAD. The Trichord was set to MM at 48db gain to match the modded NAD. The NAD was better than the Trichord?, Nope! As it should, the NAD did not win in any category against the Trichord, but in some respects it's actually pretty close. The most noticeable areas areTrichord had a clear upper hand when it comes to bass control and definition. The Trichord is also a lot better in letting low level resulotion thru the system. Now I can't wait to do more on the little NAD. Cheers! guys. |

After a few days playing with the louder PP-2, I noticed that certain records that sound louder, will overload the input of the pre-amp.
So I switched back the R100 resistors in and settled for 45db gain. jackinnj. What do you suggest I replace the 220nf caps (the brown ones next to C41 and C42 on the board) with? Are you saying that I should replace the said caps with a 390ohm resistor in series witha 1nf capacitor? Curious to get more out of the NAD PP-2 please help? Thanks. |

It's important to find the right balance between trusting somebody and verifying their actions. And it's not that easy. Exert too much control and you frustrate your employees and reduce productivity, trust too much and verify too little, and you end up with what can be seen in politics around the globe.

I've had bosses like Hans. Very perplexed (and sometimes even suspicious) when you demonstrate that you're already ahead of them.
This reminds me of something one of my drill instructors said once. "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that I don't trust you."
I can't remember the context verbatim, but this phrase actually made sense when it was spoken.

First of all, this book is way more violent than anything I read led on. I kept having to pull my earbuds out when it got too gory but then I couldn't tell when the gruesome bits were over. I'm not overly squeamish, either, but this proved too much for me.
Also, in terms of performance, the narrator did something strange with his voice every time someone "screamed" or "cried" something, which happened about twice every chapter. I found it extremely distracting and it frequently pulled me out of the story.
Overall, I don't think this is a bad read, it just isn't for me. But if you, like me, have an aversion to five minute descriptions of someone's intestines being ripped out or to narrators doing strange grunt/screams mid-chapter, it might be best to skip this one.
"My kind of vampires!"
Finally, a return to dangerous vampires! While Holly Black's vampires are definitely still sexy, they're also downright scary. They murder and lie without a second thought. Their lives are both glamorous and blood-soaked. Coldtown reminded me of Anne Rice's vampires, decadent, sensuous creatures that were just as likely to slit your throat as kiss it.
The characters, both human and vampire, were flawed but mostly understandable. Even the most vile, ruthless vampire had reasons that made some sort of twisted sense and while the main character was a little bit of an idiot, her fierce loyalty to her family and friends made it easy to overlook her less intelligent decisions.
In a world of series books, I was also glad to see that this was a stand alone title. The ending is ambivalent enough to leave the reader wondering about the characters and the world is definitely rich enough to revisit but the story is still very clearly wrapped up.
I would highly recommend this one to fans of Anne Rice and Amelia Atwater-Rhodes or anyone looking for a little more monster in their vampires.
"Doesn't live up to the hype"
The idea behind Uglies is a good one: everyone undergoes a procedure at age 16 to become "Pretty" so that no one gets any unfair advantages from being naturally beautiful, sort of a cosmetic socialism. It is a sign of a good premise that I found myself thinking that the logic made sense. However, the execution, both of the society and the story, is less than impressive. The story ended up feeling slow and plodding with long periods of very little development. I had a hard time making myself care about the main character when it took her so long to accomplish anything.
The pacing of this book was way off, briefly racing and then becoming glacial for long stretches.
The narrator had a voice that managed to be both nasal and flat at the same time. I had a hard time keeping track of which character was speaking and I patently disliked some characters purely because of how annoying they sounded in the narration.
Maybe, depending on how it was cast and how much action was added to the story. It would be very a very visually interesting film.
I have to mention that the addition of a love triangle really cheapened the story, in my opinion. The friendship between the two female protagonists was already interesting given their different views on the "Pretty" surgery and political ideas, there was no need to throw in a man for them to fight over. I'm pretty sick of that particular plot device and the implication that the only thing that makes a girl's life worth reading about is a love interest.
"Bleak but thought-provoking teen horror"
I really, really wanted to like Scowler. The audiobook won the Odyssey award so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's hard to sum up how I felt about Scowler because I can recognize that it did some really great stuff and dealt with very big and important questions but I didn't enjoy reading (or listening to) it.
The story follows Ry Burke and his family after a meteorite crashes on their farm. Through flashback, we learn that the family has been terrorized by patriarch Marvin Burke but that Marvin was incarcerated 9 years ago, leaving Ry, his mother, and younger sister Sarah to pick up the pieces and try to recover from the abuse they suffered. However, Marvin has escaped from prison and returned to the farm. As a child, Ry created three imaginary friends to help survive his experience with Marvin and now they're back, resurrected by both the presence of the meteorite and the menace Marvin presents.
It's a good, although complicated, plotline but the story is EXTREMELY dark and very violent. Some of the tortures Krause invents for Marvin to carry out are downright haunting. Thankfully, we don't get too gruesome of a depiction of these tortures, the tone is almost clinical and detached. Still, there is plenty to leave the listener cringing in imagined pain and sympathy. But the subject matter is still very difficult, there is very little light for any of these characters and the result is extremely bleak and depressing. (WARNING: This book may also serve as a trigger for those who have experienced emotional or physical abuse.)
The narrator, Kirby Heyborne, does an admirable job of representing all of the characters' voices, especially that of Ry's most horrible imaginary friend, Scowler. He builds suspense well without seeming cheesy or frantic. However, that didn't save the story for me.
If you're looking for a thought-provoking horror story with plenty of depth and symbolism, this is probably the audiobook for you. However, if you don't want to read something so heavy or are squeamish about violence, it might be best to give this one a pass.
"The Memoirs of a Self-Indulgent Intellectual Jerk"
I was very excited to start this book as I had read a number of positive reviews, both on this site (and Amazon and Goodreads) and in magazines. In fact, even after reading it I'm inclined to think that I missed something important because I can't understand how anyone could find this book enjoyable.
Our narrator, Nate, is one of the most selfish, snobbish, unlikable narrators I've ever come across. I don't always have to like the narrator of a story (Dorian Gray anyone?) but listening to Nate complain about his life and his lack of respect for pretty much every woman in his life for eight and a half hours--or 250 pages--was like sitting next to someone on the train that just won't shut up. He was like a self-indulgent child that couldn't understand why everything in his life wasn't perfect and gets bored with everything that is. This was probably the point of the book, I realize. But for me to enjoy a book about someone like this, there has to be some redeeming quality in the narrator or some interesting secondary character. There was not.
The plot of the book largely follows Nate's relationship with a new girl, Hannah. To give some background, he has a pretty dysfunctional romantic history. Though it's never explicitly stated, he doesn't seem to consider women his intellectual equals. For maybe the first month of their relationship, the story is very sweet. I found myself hoping that the point of the story was that people can change, that basic human kindness can be found in even the most unlikely of hosts. But then everything starts to deteriorate. I hated Nate for the way he treated Hannah--and women in general. I hated Hannah for being a smart woman and putting up with such a prick. The secondary characters are all caricatures--the Harvard playboy who only dates beautiful women, the bitter intellectual woman who is obsessed with marriage, the slutty damaged girl that every man is fascinated with, even the immigrant parents who came to America to give their son a better life. And I didn't care one way or another what happened to any of them.
I was miserable almost the entire time I read this book. It seemed to be a dreary, hopeless look at the death of romance and human decency in favor of pseudo-intellectual snobbery. (The narrator repeatedly mentions wanting to date a girl who has read Svevo and other hipster-obscure authors.) If you're in the mood to read something that makes you hate relationships or want to feel very smart, this is probably the book for you. Otherwise, skip it.
"Great, funny read"
It took a little while for me to get used to the narrator, who has high-pitched, almost child-like voice. But she did a great job adjusting to the many different characters and viewpoints who tell the story. It's a funny read (or listen) that still manages to touch on some serious topics, such as family, mental health, and belonging.
"Great New Narration"
I first read Gatsby in high school for my American Lit class but with the recent release of a new movie adaptation, I wanted to reread the book so that the story would be fresh in my mind. Listening to the story is a very different experience from reading it. While reading it on the page, I was much more interested in the symbolism of the story (although that probably had more to do with the American Lit class and less to do with the format) but listening to it, I found myself lost in the glitz and glamor of the story and the characters. That said, I won't review the story itself as that has been done to death by people much more intelligent and qualified than me.
The narration was brilliant. It took me a few minutes to get used to Gyllenhaal's voice but I think this was due to my familiarity with the story and the mental narrator I had invented and not to any fault of the narrator. Once I settled into the listen, I very much enjoyed Gyllenhaal's style of narration. As an actor, he does a nice job of separating character's voices and accents without sounding cheesy and his voice soothing without being boring.
If you haven't read The Great Gatsby, you absolutely must. Love it or hate it, it's a classic. And whether or not you've read it before, I would recommend this version with Jake Gyllenhaal. His performance brought a freshness to a well-known work of literature.
"Multi-actor narration"
I don't have anything against multiple voice narration when it's done well. For example, when narrators alternate as the point of view changes from chapter to chapter. However, I found it very distracting in this book as the voice often changed mid-sentence along with dialog. I had a hard time listening to it because I found that so annoying. Too bad because it's a pretty decent story.
"An Epic Fantasy"
I'm not sure why so many people complained about Roy Dotrice's narration, I thought he did a really good job. He's a bit gruff sounding but that works well with the story. I held out for a long time before reading this but I'm glad I did. Excellent world-building and lots of political intrigue.
