QinetiQ Group plc announces today that it has acquired Commerce Decisions Ltd, a market-leading provider of tender assessment and management software.
Under the terms of the agreement, QinetiQ will acquire 100 per cent of the equity of Commerce Decisions for a total cash consideration of £9.85m.
Commerce Decisions is a privately-owned, venture capital-backed company with 38 highly skilled employees based in Oxford. Its AWARD tender evaluation software supports the tender assessment and management process for both buyers and suppliers. AWARD ensures procurers make the right buying decision by improving the effectiveness of the evaluation process and providing an audit trail for decisions. For suppliers, AWARD maximises their win-potential by improving the quality of bids.
In addition to licence sales of the AWARD software, Commerce Decisions offers secure hosting, consultancy, training and maintenance services.
Commerce Decisions' existing clients include most UK central government departments, the National Health Service and local authorities. The AWARD software is already the most used tender evaluation software in the UK Ministry of Defence. The acquisition brings significant additional sales opportunities for AWARD through QinetiQ's existing sales channels in EMEA and North America.
Commenting on the acquisition, Clive Richardson, COO of QinetiQ EMEA said: "Commerce Decisions' expertise in complex assessment strengthens QinetiQ's consulting offering and complements our portfolio in capability definition and acquisition support. I am delighted to welcome their management team and employees to QinetiQ and am confident they will make a significant contribution to the continued growth of our advisory business."
Notes for Editors:
QinetiQ (pronounced "kinetic") is a leading international defence and security technology company with over 8,000 employees in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Australasia) and more than 5,500 in North America. QinetiQ's vision is to be the world's leading provider of defence and security based technology solutions and services. In February 2006, QinetiQ Group plc was listed on the London Stock Exchange and joined the FTSE250 in June 2006. In the year to 31 March 2008, QinetiQ delivered a 19 per cent increase in revenue to £1,366m, including organic growth of 8.6 per cent, and a 20 per cent increase in underlying operating profit to £127m.

TORONTO — Ontario's governing Liberals and New Democrats both say they want to see the budget pass to avoid a provincial election, but do they have a deal to make that happen?
Premier Dalton McGuinty dropped his election threats in a letter to NDP Leader Andrea Horwath on Sunday that urged her to live up to her promise to make sure the budget isn't defeated.
McGuinty called on Horwath to agree to not make any major changes to the budget at committee before Wednesday's final vote in the legislature.
Horwath said she was pleased McGuinty had changed his tone and was no longer threatening a snap election.
However, the NDP Leader also said she still wants to see changes to the budget as the finance committee considers over 200 amendments in the next two days.
The NDP and Conservatives have the majority on the committee and on Thursday they used it to remove sections of the budget the Liberals insist are needed to eliminate a $15 billion deficit.
That prompted McGuinty to threaten an election and complain Horwath had broken two previous agreements to make sure the budget would pass.
After making concessions such as a tax on the rich and increased payments for people on welfare and disability support to get the NDP's earlier commitments, McGuinty said this time he wants it in writing.
"Specifically, I ask you to commit yourself and your party, in writing, to not alter the intent or block passage of any more schedules of the budget bill," the premier wrote Horwath. "And, of course, I will also need your written assurance that you will not block passage of the budget bill in the legislature."
The Liberals need only one NDP or Tory vote to pass the budget and avoid the defeat of the minority government, or the NDP could abstain and let the government out vote the Conservatives, who have vowed to defeat the fiscal plan since the day it was introduced.

Doug Kass writes daily for RealMoney Silver , a premium bundle service from TheStreet.com. For a free trial to RealMoney Silver and exclusive access to Mr. Kass's daily trading diary, please click here."We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else is politics." -- Hubert HumphreySeveral weeks ago, I wrote an op-ed column in the Financial Times that spelled out my view that short sellers shouldn't be restricted in their activity and shouldn't be blamed for the abuses in lending, credit formation and in the growth of the unregulated derivative markets that got us into the mess that we are in today. Indeed, history has shown -- Enron, Tyco (TYC), Sunbeam and so on -- that market participants should be attentive in listening to the analytical warnings of the short-selling community. A few seem to be coming to their senses -- in certain cases from surprising corners. For example, here is an email exchange I had with Ben Stein (for whom I now have newfound respect) last night:Ben Stein: I am bound to say after all this time that you understood this so much better than I did, especially the mentality on Wall Street that would lead to this that it is profoundly humbling. Doug Kass: Thank you, Ben. My Grandma Koufax would call you a "mensch." My constant proddings were not meant to be ad hominem attacks against you but rather to deliver my analysis and underscore my sense of foreboding that was based on my analysis of the abuses and egregious risk taken in the credit, housing and derivatives markets.Some observers, like Bloomberg's Michael Lewis get it. Others recognize that the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of regulators, borrowers (and lenders), banks (did the shorts tell Citigroup's (C) Chuck Prince to "keep on dancing?"), brokerages (did the short sellers OK obscene compensation packages in the "heads I win, tails I win" culture on Wall Street in which those monies earned were withdrawn out of the firms while levering their capital to 32-1?) and The Three Stooges of 21st Century Finance (who reside in the Administration, Treasury and Federal Reserve and proved, once again, to be reactive not proactive). All of these players gleefully and drunkenly drank from the bowl of credit excess over the past decade, believing in another new paradigm (and uninterrupted growth) for the housing and credit markets, but failed to have a vision of the dangers associated with their careless risk-taking and lack of due diligence."If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers." -- Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's RainbowFrom my perch, it seems far-fetched to blame short sellers for the general lack of regulatory scrutiny and enforcement, the absence of risk controls and a continuum of reckless management decisions at the world's leading financial institutions (banks, brokers, hedge funds, private equity, etc.), all of which have combined to create a Black Swan event that has resulted in a credit market gone amok and a shadow banking system often under the radar of regulators. Increasingly this week, however, all too many seem to be suggesting that the short sellers are the root of all evil and are to blame for a plunge in share prices (especially of a financial-kind). Indeed, SEC Chairman Cox instituted new short-selling rules last night, which included a requirement to disclose daily short positions, and some institutional investors, like CalStrs' CIO Christopher Ailman, are not permitting their investment holdings to be loaned out to short sellers, citing clear evidence that short selling is the root cause of the decline in the shares of leading investment banks. Here are some of my reasons why the current popular game of blaming short sellers is misplaced:In summary, the blame game is counterintuitive to the facts (above) and seems motivated by investors' and financial managements' rationalizing their poor investment and business decisions, many of which have caused unnecessary pain for a lot of Wall Streeters who have become victims of their senior managers' misdeeds.
- I simply can't accept the basic assertion that there is currently a great deal of naked short selling going on. Yesterday, I undertook an experiment and tried to borrow 250,000 shares of Morgan Stanley (MS) from my prime broker (one of the very institutions that is complaining about short sellers!); it took less than three seconds. Every other financial on the SEC's list is readily available to borrow, so why the heck would anyone illegally short without a borrow?
- Short interest in the publicly traded investment banks has dropped in the last month. (For example, Morgan Stanley's short interest has dropped by 3 million shares in the last month, to 45 million shares, and stands at a low 2.8 short interest ratio, and at only 4% of Morgan Stanley's float.) According to Short Alert, from early July to late August (the most recent data available), the short interest in the 34 companies classified as Investment Banking Brokerage by S&P dropped from 9.42% of all shares outstanding to only 7.55%, for a 20% decline. So not only are critics of short selling wrong that shorting has increased, but it appears that covering by the short community served to provide stability to the markets.
- Fails-to-deliver from naked short selling account for a small percentage of market capitalization, according to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation. Currently, fails are about 31,000 positions daily (including both new and aged fails) out of an average of 54 million new transactions processed every day by the National Securities Clearing Corporation. In dollars, fails-to-deliver-and-receive amount to only about 1.4% of the daily volume.
- Short selling (or buying of protection) is now rampant in the credit default swaps area, an unregulated market that the very investment banks who are complaining about short sellers pushing their shares down have argued to keep unregulated!
- As to the rumor-mongering, one should not look at the short sellers, we (or more precisely the SEC) should look at the very investment banks that are complaining the most loudly about short sellers. Chinese Walls in brokerages have long fallen, as it is widely recognized that investment firms' proprietary desks are shorting each others' stocks (and pulling capital from each other), likely with information from their own investment banking arms. What if it turns out that Goldman Sachs (GS) was shorting Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley was shorting Goldman Sachs -- and that they both were shorting Fannie Mae (FNM), Freddie Mac (FRE) and American International Group (AIG).
- Finally, where are the hedge funds making all this money shorting stocks (illegally)? The dedicated pool of short sellers (which stands at about $5.5 billion, or about 9% the size of Fidelity's Magellan Fund) is simply too small to have a meaningful impact on the markets. Based on ISI data, most hedge funds tied to a long/shot strategy are relatively inactive, and many are liquidating out of fear of ever-greater losses and redemptions, which leaves us with the dominant quant funds that use algorithms, not fundamental security analysis or rumors, as their operating methodology. No doubt, some of these are shorting the weakness in financials based on their modeling.
Weeks later, a short-selling ban on financial stocks was instituted in the U.S., and I wrote the following on The Edge in mid-September:

The latest debt trends & analysis from our industry experts
If you're part way through Debt Remedy...
If you're an existing DMP client...
If you have debts with more than one creditor and are having difficulties managing them, you might have been tempted by an offer of a free debt consolidation loan.
Debt consolidation replaces all your individual debts with a single debt that covers them all. So you pay one payment each month rather than several at once.
Consolidating your debts can make your debts easier to manage, because you only have one payment to make each month. This can also making budgeting easier, as you're only dealing with one creditor.
However, even when a loan might be advertised as 'free debt consolidation' and you do not have to pay any fees to set it up, you still might end up worse off.
For example, the consolidation loan could carry higher interest rates or you might have to pay it back over a longer time period, making it more expensive to pay off.
Use our debt consolidation calculator to find out whether you need debt consolidation or debt advice.
If you have lots of debt, or if you've missed payments on your debts, this will have affected your ability to borrow more money. You might find that the only way you can borrow more money is at a higher interest rate. This means that you could end up paying more money back over the lifetime (or term) of the loan.
You may have to make a large payment to your debt consolidation loan each month, or you could find that you are paying the money back for a long period. If you're applying for any kind of loan you should always check how much the payments are each month, and how many payments you will need to make over the lifetime of the loan.
We advise you not to consolidate your debts without a first looking at your situation to see if it would help you. We also advise against consolidating your unsecured debts with a loan secured against your property as this would put your home at risk if you fall behind on payments.
We can help you decide if debt consolidation is the right solution for your situation. If you use our online Debt Remedy tool, we'll look at a range of debt solution to fit your specific circumstances and help you manage your debts.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!We bought the home 3 years ago together, both of us are on the deed and mortgage. She left 29 months ago and stopped paying on the mortgage or maintenance. I con't paying the mortgage (roughly $4000 a month, it includes taxes and insurance). I still live in the home. I contacted an attorney. She also hired and attorney. We had multiple meetings to negotiate a buyout that all failed. There is also furniture in the home that we bought together that I still have. To date I have paid aprox $116K between mortgage and maintenance costs over the 29 months since she left. My question is if I force a sale of the property is there a way to get any of the money that I forked out that she skipped out on? If so, how much would it cost? The house is worth about $500k, the principal left is about $450
You will likely need to file for partition. In a partition action, the court orders the sale of the property and performs an accounting of contributions to determine how the money will be distributed.

DEADLINE TOMORROW: Obamacare Enrollments Lag Millions Behind
by Wynton Hall 22 Dec 2013, 11:26 AM PDT
With less than 24 hours to go until the critical Obamacare enrollment deadline, all eyes are on the Obama administration to see whether Democratic claims of a massive "Obamacare sign-up surge" will materialize.
Tomorrow's December 23rd deadline, which was extended an extra week due to the HealthCare.gov debacle, marks the near midpoint of Obamacare's six-month enrollment period. The Obama administration says it needs to sign up 7,000,000 people to Obamacare by the March 31 deadline. Individuals wishing for health coverage to begin January 1 must be enrolled by tomorrow's deadline; those wishing to avoid the government's fine of $95 or 1% of their income must get health coverage by March 31.
To remain on pace, the Obama administration needs to have enrolled roughly 3,500,000 Americans in Obamacare by tomorrow's deadline. Moreover, roughly one third, or 1,166,666, of those enrollments need to come from so-called "young invincibles" -- the 18 to 34-year-old healthier demographic whose premiums will cover older, sicker people's more expensive health costs. Analysts say failure to enroll enough young, healthy people could spark an actuarial "death spiral."
Will the Obama administration have 3,500,000 million people in Obamacare by tomorrow's deadline? Moreover, will 1,166,666 of those people belong to the critical "young invincibles" demographic?
Probably not.
On Friday, President Barack Obama said in a press conference that in the first three weeks of December alone, 500,000 people placed a plan in their shopping carts through HealthCare.gov. What portion of those individuals actually activated insurance coverage by paying their first month's premium is presently unclear. Similarly, during congressional testimony Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said she does not know how many of the 365,000 individuals who selected a health plan through HealthCare.gov before December have cut their first premium check and activated coverage. Either way, even if the administration enrolled 1,000,000 paying customers, they would still be less than one third of the way toward hitting a mid-point goal of 3,500,000. Furthermore, the entire enrollment total would still be short even of the number of young people the federal officials say Obamacare would need to remain viable.
Obama officials claim that the real enrollment surge is likely to occur before the March 31 deadline when the individual mandate's financial fines and penalties kick in. However, last week the Obama administration announced it will offer "hardship exemptions" for some of the millions of Americans who have lost their health insurance due to Obamacare, thus prompting debate over whether additional exemptions and delays may be forthcoming.
Bottom line: if by tomorrow the administration has not enrolled 3,500,000 people -- with at least one third of those being 18-34-year-olds -- Obama will find himself scrambling to hit 7,000,000 paying Obamacare customers by the end of March.
According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, just 38% of Americans now support Obamacare; a Harvard University poll finds that 57% of young people disapprove of Obamacare.
"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves." G Washington July 2, 1776

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Half Kilinochchi under-5s malnourished[TamilNet, Sunday, 31 January 1999, 19:54 GMT]Fifty-two percent of children under 5 years of age at the welfare centres in Kilinochchi district are affected by malnutrition according to a survey conducted by officials of the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) division in the area. The survey results are detailed in a situation report prepared by the Government Agent of Kilinochchi for the month of December 1998. The Government Agent, Mr.T.Rasanayagam, has said in his report that there are 47 welfare centers in the district to accommodate 25,646 persons belonging to 6202 displaced refugees. It is estimated that there are more than 8000 children in these camps and the survey was conducted among the children under 5 years of age, officials said. Extracts from the report state: "The maintenance of 47 welfare centres in done by the Commissioner General of Essential Services (CGES) from 1991. Rethatching of huts, primary health facilities, water, sanitation facilities, temporary class rooms for displaced students, cooking utensils for the refugees, mats and other amenities are provided by the CGES. However last year (1998) most of the items of the maintenance of these welfare centres were not provided or attended. Rupees 5 million for rethatching of roof of 2886 juts in welfare centres had been granted during November 1998, due to grant effore of the CGES. More monetary provisions is required to meet the basic needs of these welfare centres". |

Doc, as sole human character on Fraggle Rock, was conceived as a personage who, framing the world of the Fraggles, could be altered and replaced in the different international versions of the series. Though an inventor in the North American series, suggestions for localized occupations included a toymaker, shopkeeper, lighthouse keeper, or even recast with an actress in the role. As far as is known, only three productions, those of France, Germany, and England, substituted their own versions of Doc. The lighthouse keeper, as used on the UK series, was the only suggestion adopted from the initial proposal. Other countries simply dubbed footage of the original Doc, Gerry Parkes.

Originally , is a neorealist tribute to the Italian resistance fighters of World War II. The scene is the tiny village of Lombardy, just outside Milan. The villagers have suffered four years of humiliation and exploitation at the hands of the fascists. But when a priest and a communist hostage are executed by pro-Nazi troops, the townsfolk join the resistance in revolting against their oppressors.

We Have Met the Great Satan, and He is Us
Nick Kristof continues reporting from Iran:
"Either officials change their methods and give freedom to the people, and stop interfering in elections, or the people will rise up with another revolution," Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri told me."There is no freedom," added Ayatollah Montazeri, who is among the senior figures in the Shiite world but is excluded from power in Iran because of his reformist ideas. "Repression is carried out in the name of Islam, and that turns people off. . . . All these court summonses, newspaper closings and prosecutions of dissidents are wrong. These are the same things that were done under the shah and are now being repeated. And now they are done in the name of Islam and therefore alienate people."
Whoa! Ayatollah Montazeri was a leader of the Islamic Revolution, and was initially designated by his close friend Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to be his successor as supreme leader of Iran.

Rescue a Trafficked Woman
Kimberly Rae
3/21/2011 / Womens Interest
Human trafficking. These two words define the lives of hundreds and thousands and yes, even millions of young women and children, forced into lives of slavery and hopelessness. They are stolen from their homes, or sold by adults they once trusted, taken captive, sold like animals, some in cages. Many face futures chained to beds of sexual slavery, far from any hope of ever being freed.
The buying and selling of souls has been happening for millennia, but never before has the true extent of this evil been so seared upon the American consciousness.
Though slavery was outlawed and supposedly eradicated long ago, aware individuals know it has never left us, only changed its appearance to again slide far enough under the radar to avoid attention.
Only now the flashlight of the world is shining upon itthe evil of human trafficking that is happening not just in third world countries around the world, but here in America as well.
Becky McDonald decided to do something about it. Though she grew up in a traditional missionary setting in Bangladesh, the word traditional has never defined her outlook on ministry.
Ever since age fourteen, when a young girl was brought into her life, the girl's vocal chords permanently damaged from acid poured down her throat by the men who had tried to rape her, Becky has been a warrior on behalf of the helpless and oppressed.
Since starting Women At Risk International in 2006, Becky has fought tirelessly to free the enslaved, wrapping arms of love and protection around those most in need, rescuing them, and restoring their dignity and hope.
WAR International now has projects in 14 countriessafe houses in Thailand and India where rescued women create quality jewelry to sell. Cake decorating in Nepal, which provides income to continue the ministry of rescuing trafficked women. Bridal rental shops in Latin America, that not only provide funds for ministry, but a creative means of outreach as well.
And here in America, Becky works with homeland security to rescue our own.
Though the majority of Americans once turned a blind eye from those enslaved, Americans today care deeply about ending the atrocities of human bondage. They care and they want to help.
But how can one person make a difference when the need is so vast?
By shopping, of course! As odd as that may sound, WAR International continues and thrives because women all over America are buying the beautiful jewelry, purses, scarves and clothing created by rescued women all over the world. Many churches and individuals are hosting WAR parties, where groups can come and shop together for a great cause. By buying WAR's products, the rescued women are restored to lives of dignity as they see that their work is sustainable.
Money given to WAR might provide for a girl stolen from Nepal to escape the bonds of forced prostitution. It may provide for a former street worker, now dying of AIDS, to give the rest of her life to fulfilling ministry. It may help the emergency fund, which is specifically for those urgent, unexpected needs, like rescuing a baby going to be sold that very night.
Every once in awhile, the moment comes when we have the chance to change someone else's whole lifegiving them hope, and the Gospel of hopea change that will last for eternity.
That time is now.
What will you do? How will you change the world?
For more information on how you can get involved, see
Kimberly Rae lived in Bangladesh, Uganda, Kosovo and Indonesia before health problems brought her back to America, where she continues ministry through writing. Kimberly has been published over 100 times. Her first novel, STOLEN WOMAN, about human trafficking, is due for release Summer 2011.

Hi can anybody give me help in crating a deck of 8 fang pi tha cost between 0-5.000 clintz
Yumi, Muntendon
Sayura, Yu Mei, Zhu Zhang, Ralph
Kati, Zinfrid, Macumba
I've given you 10, you can choose 8 according to your play style, Though if you are going to play in elo i would advise you use Montana, they are cheaper.
Also what recommendations do you have for a deck as I have every character under at least 2.500 clintz and am thinking of selling my whole collection and buy 8 good cards from each clan. Is this a good idea or should I stick with what I've got ???

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers showed how dangerous they can be when they're at full strength Saturday night, overwhelming the Minnesota Vikings 24-10 in an NFC wild-card game that was never really close.
John Kuhn scored two touchdowns, DuJuan Harris added another and Rodgers connected with an NFL playoff-record 10 receivers as he threw for 274 yards. Defensively, the Packers (12-5) finally managed to contain Adrian Peterson and were all over Vikings backup Joe Webb, pressed into service because of Christian Ponder's elbow injury.
Peterson was held to 99 yards. Webb, who hadn't thrown a pass all season, was sacked three times and off target all night. His only highlight was a 50-yard scoring pass to Michael Jenkins late in the fourth quarter.
Rodgers led touchdown drives of 82, 62 and 80 yards as the Packers built a 24-3 lead.
Webb did not fare well. He tripped over Clay Matthews for an easy sack early in the second quarter, and he was called for intentional grounding while being swarmed behind the line of scrimmage on the next play.
Webb ran five times for 60 yards, but completed only seven of his first 20 attempts for 61 yards. Peterson gained 69 yards on 19 carries through three quarters.
Rodgers didn't let up after the Packers took a 17-3 halftime lead. The Vikings had the Packers stopped for a field goal on fourth-and-4, but Jasper Brinkley was called for 12 men on the field when he couldn't make it to the sideline in time, and the penalty gave the Packers just enough yards to keep going. Rodgers found Kuhn open on the next play, and the fullback barged into the end zone by barreling over Jamarca Sanford at the goal line for a 24-3 lead.
The last time the Vikings were in a playoff game, they infamously were called for 12 men on the field, too, on offense that time in the fourth quarter of the NFC championship game in New Orleans to push them out of field-goal range. Brett Favre threw an interception, and they lost to the Saints in overtime.
The Vikings finally made it across midfield again on the next possession, but on fourth-and-3 at the 38, Matthews took down Webb for another sack, forced the ball out and recovered it. After a Packers punt, Webb scrambled for a first down at the Green Bay 46. But on the next play, his long pass was intercepted by Sam Shields at the 8.
After the Vikings forced another punt early in the fourth quarter, Marcus Sherels fumbled and the Packers recovered at the Minnesota 39.
The Vikings used a 33-yard field goal by rookie Blair Walsh on the opening possession to get in front early.

I hate that everyone gets an office set to work from but Tucker used to have only a cheesy apartment with one desk. They took that away too and now he will be at that boring CL set on a laptop probably. The scenes between characters seem too rushed, and the characters waffling back and forth remind me of a certain writer's style. |

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has declared July as National Hot Dog Month, but we prefer to celebrate with a compassionate twist, turning this food holiday into National Veggie Hot Dog Month!
This July, while our nation celebrates its independence, we need you to help us speak out for animals by exposing the cruelty forced upon millions of pigs on U.S. factory farms—from mother pigs intensively confined in tiny crates where they can't even turn around to their piglets who endure painful mutilations without any relief.
Give animals a voice by distributing pro-vegetarian literature and sharing delicious veggie dogs with friends, family, and other hungry vegetarians-to-be with a feed-in or backyard barbeque. There are lots of options! Try the hot dogs, frankfurters, brats, and sausages in a variety of flavors from Tofurky, Lightlife, Yves, or Field Roast—and don't forget the toppings!
Tell us about your event and we'll help you get started. In the meantime, try this mouth-watering recipe for inspiration…
Healthier Beach Hot Dogs
(makes 4 dogs)
- 4 vegan hot dogs (try Tofurky, Lightlife, Yves, or Field Roast)
- 4 whole or sprouted grain hot dog buns
- 1 medium organic tomato, diced
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 1 cup organic sauerkraut
- 4 whole pickles
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 1/2 cup pickle relish
- 1 bottle mustard, any variety
- 1/4 cup spicy pepperoncinis
- black pepper grinder
- Cook dogs by following instructions on package. To char, heat dogs directly on gas stove for a few seconds, broil them in your oven, or use a grill.
- Assemble dog in bun, add all the toppings, and enjoy!

MTM Driver & Tweeter Selection
Thanks again to everyone who assured me that a 4ohm load is not going to kill my receiver!
Now I need some guidance on some drivers/tweeters. I know that every driver is decent to some degree (especially when cost is factored in) and if I search hard enough I can find at least one person who loves a particular driver and another person who hates it... What I was not able to find (and is not always evident from specifications & charts) was the type of sound I can expect from the drivers (e.g., warm, detailed, mushy, etc... you all know the terms!) Here are some details associated with my project: - Sealed speaker cabinet pre-cut for 2 7" drivers and 1 3" tweeter - Outside dimensions: 8.5"w x 21"h x 11"d - Internal volume: 0.75 cu-ft => 21.25 liters - Driven by a Yamaha RX-V2400 (from what I have read, Yamahas are "cooler" sounding relative to other "warmer" receivers (e.g., Denon)) - The room is relatively large (12'w x 7.5'h x 30'd) and has sound deadening walls - Use would be 60% TH, 40% music Problem 1: Which driver to select for the MTM configuration and the type of sound expected. My medium sized list and approx cost per driver: Peerless 832732 ($35) Dayton Euro Series Woofer ($37) Seas CA18RNX (H1215) ($57) Seas L18RCY/P (H1085) - small magnet ($63) Seas L18RNX/P (H1142) - big magnet ($68) Seas G18RNX/P (H1100) ($60) VIFA MG18WK09/8 ($48) VIFA XG18WH00/8 ($62) VIFA PL18WO-09/8 ($60) Problem 2: How do I select a tweeter that is a good match for a particular driver? Is it best to stick with the same manufacturer and line (e.g., Vifa Premium Line driver would work well with a Vifa PL Tweeter)? Thank you for your insights! Zach |

First download the WinISD program, if you don't already have it. You can simulate the response of any driver by loading its specs, though you will probably find most already in the program data base. The program will tell you the preferred box size, tuning etc, but you can alter the recommended box dimensions to what you already have and that way back into what gives the best combination of sensitivity and response bandwidth.
Next consider at what frequency you want to cross over; that should be no higher than where the axial response of the driver is within 2dB of flat and the 30 degree off-axis response is no more than 6dB down. Choose the tweeter that will operate down to that frequency, with the combination of the flattest axial response and highest -6dB at 30 degrees off axis response as you can afford. |

not really, my son hardly spoke and is now going through an autism diagnosis at nearly 4.... if it is concerning you that he is not saying much definitely ask your gp about it

Yeah they are definitely all different. My first (a boy) was terrible at talking and is only just catching up with others at aged 3 and a half. But this is perfectly normal. Whereas my 16 month old baby girl talks nearly as much has he does, which is also normal! Try not to worry too much. Just talk often to him and gradually he'll pick it up.

I second (or third?) that each child develops independantly. As long as they are making noises and sounds, even if goo goo gaga means they heading in the right direction. The more you verbalize and describe to them what is happening aorund them the more likely they are to verbalize themselves. Exposure to words, books and language in general will benefit them when learning to verbalize.

If they are talking at all even just a few words, then it is perfectly normal. Dont worry about it at all. You can definitely talk to your pedi though, but im sure they will tell you all is fine.

I was actually thinking the same question. My son just turned 17months and only says a couple words (Mom, Dada, up, thank you, welcome, & uh-oh). Like Sue-Anna, he has full blown conversations in his own language. I have 3 older boys, but they all spoke early. I just wanted to see what other Mom's with children my youngests age were experiencing before I talk to his pediatrician. Thanks.

Yup, I agree. They are all different and do things at different rates. My little girl was saying quite at this stage but my little boy (Sep 11) isn't talking. He says Mumma, Daddy, I finished and I think that's it. He does however think he's having full blown conversations with me which is so cute.

Low Carb: 8:00 PM
The Other Children Know I have seen some remarkable children since my daughter's death. Her 8 and 9 year old friends and classmates are a constant amazement to me in how they are able to process grief and move forward with positive thoughts and good, kind memories of things they did with their friend.
What role can friends play in helping you through your grief? What do you, the grieving parent, expect from your friends when living with grief?

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan says allowing Demba Ba to leave the club at the end of last season was a disastrous loss for the Hammers.
The Senegal ace joined the East London club from Freiburg in January 2011 but had a release clause in his contract if the Hammers were to be relegated.
Ba scored seven goals in 12 outings for West Ham but could not keep them in the Premier League and subsequently departed for Newcastle United which Sullivan was left to rue.
"It's one of those mistakes that happen, but it's probably one of the worst mistakes I have ever made in my life.
"If he was with us now and his knee held up - because remember he did have a very bad knee - I think we'd be 15 points clear (at the top of the Championship), I really do.""Demba Ba had a get out if we were relegated." Sullivan told website West Ham Till I Die. "In the end I offered him 45 grand a week to stay but he wouldn't take it.

The problem was, the company didn't do what it was supposed to: import cars, convert them to DOT spec and then deliver them to customers. Sure, some cars got delivered, some cars even got converted, but most failed to do either. Until now, the full details of the Skyline's disastrous entry into the US market were the stuff of Internet legend. Now, thanks to 0-60, we know the facts behind the Motorex's myth, the government investigation and the repossessed cars. Check out the feature in the magazine's summer issue, available now.
