What, all that information was not enough? You want... more? Right, then. You asked for it.
With over 4 million websites indexed (which can seem as a lot, or very little, depending on your point of view), Alexa is perhaps the oldest and certainly the best known ranking system, deservedly or not. The Alexa Global and Local ranks of a website are based on an approximate amount of visitors a given website receives. The more visitors, the higher the rank. The Alexa rank, be it Local or Global, should be taken with a pinch of salt. After all, visitor count is by far not the simple measure of a website's success it's made out to be. For example, a gardening website is never going to be as popular as a movie review website. It does not mean it's not popular within it's niche.
Similarly to how a hard drive or a modern SSD device holds your files, a server holds all the files the website needs to operate. To load a webpage, your browser needs to contact the said server and request files - strings of code that make up the website into what it is, including images, text and database entries. Each physical server has a unique IP address that is used by the browser to contact it.

Take Hawaii out of the equation and the Western Athletic Conference has never been as balanced as it is this season in women's volleyball.
TV: None
Radio: Joined in progress after football game, KKEA 1420-AM
Gametracker: www.gobulldogs.com
New Mexico State went up to Moscow, Idaho, Thursday and lost in five to the host Vandals. Fresno State, with two more players dismissed on Wednesday, has won just twice ... beating the teams currently in second and third place (Utah State and Nevada).
The balance is as good as it is bad. On one side of the scale is the equity in competition; on the other is the harsh reality that -- barring Hawaii being upset in the WAC tournament -- only the Rainbow Wahine will be heading to the NCAAs.
"I'm not surprised when anyone wins in this league," Hawaii coach Dave Shoji said. "There are no gimmes. That's good for the league overall but it may be bad in terms of getting teams to qualify for the NCAA tournament."
While the rest of the WAC tries to find consistency, No. 10 Hawaii looks to continue its dominance. The Wahine (16-6, 10-0) go for their 102nd consecutive conference win today at troubled Fresno State (4-16, 2-8).
On Wednesday morning, first-year coach Ruben Nieves dismissed the team's leading hitter, sophomore Mounia Nihipali (Kamehameha Schools) and sophomore backup setter Ilima Sam Fong for "poor attitudes." It was the same reason Nieves gave for the dismissal of senior La'akea Campbell (Iolani School) earlier this season.
Nieves said he would not elaborate on the situation. Only six players remain from last year's team, including junior hitter Alison Pitton, who had 18 kills and hit .342 in Thursday's loss to San Jose State.
Sophomore hitter Alisha McKee has also played well after moving over from the middle after the losses of Campbell and Nihipali, the latter who hadn't played since mid-September.
The Bulldogs have won just once since falling to the Wahine in Honolulu on Oct. 7, outlasting struggling Nevada in five last Saturday. This will be their third match this week, fourth in eight days.
"That was a good win for us," Nieves said of topping the Wolf Pack. "Against San Jose State (Thursday), we weren't able to sustain the offense and side-out rhythm that we had in Game 2 when we won (31-29)."
"A season is long and hard, especially when you get to the point you're 4-16. We've had challenges all season long, and now we have a new one (in Hawaii)."
Nieves said he expected a large crowd for today's match against the Wahine at North Gym, a contest which usually draws the most fans during the season. Fresno State is averaging 697 fans at home.
Hawaii has never lost to Fresno State in 36 meetings. Shoji wasn't expecting any of the Wahine's winning streaks to be snapped today.
"The team is very focused," Shoji said. "Everyone is feeling good, well-rested and looking forward to finishing this trip with a win."
Notes: Junior setter Kanoe Kamana'o should move into second place on the UH career list for assists today. She has 4,295 and needs 10 to pass Cheri Boyer for third and 18 to pass Robyn Ah Mow for second ... The NCAA record for consecutive regular-season conference wins is 145, held by Florida. Hawaii has won 101 in a row, 116 straight including the WAC tournament.
Thursday's results
Hawaii def. Nevada, 30-22, 30-22, 30-27
Boise State def. Louisiana Tech, 30-25, 27-30, 30-19, 24-30, 15-9
Idaho def. New Mexico State, 30-28, 28-30, 30-25, 30-21
San Jose State def. Fresno State, 30-21, 29-31, 30-17, 30-15

Neil Young's $400 Pono hi-def music player loses to Apple's iPhone in blind audio test

I have the older brother to the phones they used in this test, and they do make a difference.
Sure, dude, tell us about how your MONSTER CABLE XT AWESOME EDITION makes everything better. :rolleyes:

Not that that should detract from him doing his best to push for higher quality digital audio for others, as had Steve. CDs always sucked big time .. thank you Philips, too bad my hearing has taken a beating now that such good digital audio is available from Apple and others.Reply 47 of 179Yeah. They don't use noise cancellation headphones when mixing in studios.
Most mixes aren't done on headphones, but on studio monitors. Occasionally you might put headphones on the check something, but the majority of people mix through monitors, both near field and larger monitors.Reply 48 of 179anome Posts: 1,297memberalanshutko wrote: »The article didn't mention: did Pogue level match the two signals? It's well documented that people will consider louder audio to be "better" and if the iPhone happened to be louder (even a small amount) it could explain the test results.
Similarly, if the problem is the headphones, then how does the iPod/Phone sound better? At best, they should sound the same. I'll accept that forcing high quality signal through poor reproduction equipment is wasting your time, but I don't quite buy that a poorer quality signal would sound better under those circumstances.
Look, I'm not the market for the Pono. My hearing sucks, and as long as there are no obvious compression artifacts, I'm happy. I'm personally more concerned about whether the musicians can hit all the right notes at the right time. However, I do wonder if a lot of the complaints about sound (or video) reproduction these days are just because these people know there's some loss of quality, so convince themselves they can tell the difference. Even if some people can, I'm not sure there's really a significant market. Therefore, the manufacturers of these things must hope to at least sell some of these to people who just want bragging rights.Reply 49 of 179coolfactor Posts: 1,534member
Okay Mr. Kasper... "high quality MP3s" -- ??

Probably. I can tell the difference between a AIFF/FLAC file versus a 320 kbps mp3. I was curious to see which headphones they used in the Yahoo test, so I read the Yahoo article. They were using a pair of Sony MDR 7506, which are good headphones.Quote:Originally Posted by bdkennedy1
I'm a lossless audio guy, and you are not going to notice the difference between an MP3 and lossless audio file unless you have top quality headphones/speakers. If you have those then you will notice a huge difference.Quote:Originally Posted by vfx2k4
Blind is right, this 'test' is completely ignorant. It's like someone evaluating a high-definition television signal on an old black and white standard definition television and then saying that HD looks the same as old black and white/SD. Cheap headphones going through a cruddy Radio Shack switcher throws away precisely all the extra fidelity that a player like Pono provides in the first place.
I've been using an Audioquest Dragonfly digital to analog converter hooked up to audiophile speakers on my Mac for the past year. It frequently sounds like a live concert is playing right in front of me on high bitrate FLAC tracks. When I listen to MP3 and tracks from iTunes they often sound like a child's pull-string toy by comparison. Pogue literally has no idea what he's talking about and should be embarrassed to claim otherwise.
Some time ago I created an audio file that had sections that were from a 223 kbps AAC rip of the original CD track and sections that were from a lossless WAV rip. You can grab it here.
I would be very interested to hear if anyone thinks they can discern where the quality transitions.Reply 52 of 179blazar Posts: 270memberLevel matching does make a difference. They didn't describe how this was done. Even a half decibel louder sounds "better" to many.
Speakers make a major difference in the overall sound character.
Crappy amps make a difference, but there are relatively few of those these days.
Wires make just about none.
Lossless is best but 320k is pretty damn goodand hrd to distinguish without the best of system and a trained ear.
High bit rate vs cd quality audio is marginally if at all different.
Room acoustics make a massive difference
Recording quality makes a big difference but we cant control what the artist wants. adele 21 is an example of a very poor recording if you want to compare.
People who have not heard high end speakers with their own music in a properly setup room seem to belittle audiophiles just so they can make fun of "rich" audio nerds.Reply 53 of 179Quote:Originally Posted by mstone
16 bit vs. 24 bit is not an argument that relates to dog vs. human hearing, because everything that is within human hearing is also improved due to the smaller steps.

Very surprised [and sad] to see so many Apple-savvy AI readers here who don't understand or appreciate the difference between high-resolution audio and compressed audio.Reply 55 of 179axual Posts: 244memberBeing backed by Neil Young is completely meaningless. The Pono player is a complete waste of time and talent, and ... lots of money invested.Reply 56 of 179drtimhill Posts: 2memberSo what has REALLY been proved here? An average person, using average music, listening on average headphones, can't tell the difference. So what? If you follow that logic you can easily "prove" that wine buffs can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive wine (because average people can't), that great chefs can't tell the taste of foods any better than anyone else, that great violinists can't tell a cheap $100 violin from a Stradivarius .. and on and on.
First, most music is so badly recorded these days listening on good audio gear is ghastly as it tends to reveal the horrors of the recording chain (which focuses on high volume, clipped sound and bloated bass). Yes, good audio gear is expensive, but so is a Ferrari, and I don't see many people saying "Ferrari's are no better than a Chevy".
Second, people are not all the same. Someone who spends hours playing video games no doubt becomes tuned to the subtle differences between games, and flaws stand out in a way that an innocent bystander would not even notice. Of COURSE a great chef has a better taste sense than most people; that's why he is a chef! Of COURSE a violinist can hear the subtle tonal differences between different expensive violins. And yes, there are people out there who CAN tell the difference between a great musical recording played on different audio gear.
If you can't hear the difference, that's fine; but don't assume because you can't, or because the "average person" can't that NO-ONE can. Otherwise we might as well just draw lots for players in the Super Bowl, because of course no-one can throw better than the average person.
And last time I looked, the Apple store was selling headphones ranging from $20 to $400 .. now who is buying all those $400 headphones? After all, since they ALL sound the same shouldn't everyone buy the $20 ones?Reply 57 of 179Quote:Originally Posted by TheWhiteFalcon
The second reality is that quality 256kbps files are about the highest the human ear can really appreciate. Which happens to be the format of iTunes Plus music.
You are a fool if you really believe that the human ear can not appreciate a higher bit rate than 256 kbps.Reply 58 of 179pscooter63 Posts: 943memberQuote:Originally Posted by cnocbui

I would be very interested to hear if anyone thinks they can discern where the quality transitions.
I heard an odd blip in the EQ somewhere around the 50-second mark, and only for a few seconds.
Speaking frankly, though, this sample contains a LOT of studio wizardry (including post-processing). Unless I knew the "original" recording well (and I do not), I could not presume to differentiate the artistic from the deliberate (i.e., bitrate change).
An experiment like this might be more telling with, say, a live classical performance (even solo piano), recorded with as little technical intrusion as possible.Reply 59 of 179nathanimal Posts: 67memberI am an audio engineer, and do also mastering work in a variety of formats. Material that is mastered for iTunes using Apple's processing software and guidelines, when done competently, is almost impossible to distinguish from the "lossless" formats like AIFF, WAV, and FLAC. It depends a great deal on the material. Classical and jazz recordings show compression artifacts more readily, or anything with Spartan instrumentation. The psychoacoustic principles that these compression algorithms were based on tend to not work as well with that kind of music.
The truth is, in a mature era of digital audio, the resolution of the recorded material (sample rate/bit-depth/data rate for compressed) has much less impact on the listening experience than the listening environment, the quality of the transducers and their enclosures (speakers or headphones), and especially the amplifier design driving the transducers. Those things are difficult to do cheaply, and $400 is in definitely on the low end of things. In short, all of the analog factors. Without having access to one, it's hard to pas judgment... But David Pogue's review is still very valid because MOST people can't distinguish a significant quality advantage between compressed music coming off the unremarkable DAC and headphone amp on the iPhone and a higher end device. The audiophile business exemplifies the law of diminishing returns better than most. The last 1% is very costly to implement.

Thrifty Business
I only recently became a fan of thrift and consignment shopping. In the past I always found the task a daunting one. Any stores with aisles and aisles of randomly sorted clothing were all too overwhelming for me.
Then, a coworker recommended a few places that were smaller in size and carried more of the styles that I liked.
I found this skirt at The Main Exchange in Vancouver. The best part is that many pieces at the store are given in by Jillian Harris, whose style I adore, and she's my size!!!

India raised import taxes on gold and silver on Tuesday as policymakers scrambled to narrow a gaping current account deficit, but concerns about the slowing economy and fears of more capital outflows kept up pressure on the ailing rupee.
The rupee got a small lift after the gold measures were announced in late afternoon, after earlier threatening to test record lows.
Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram unveiled plans on Monday to curb imports and raise capital inflows to relieve the grinding pressure on emerging Asia's worst-performing currency.
(Read more: More drastic steps needed to curb India gold bugs)
But the measures have largely underwhelmed investors due to a lack of specific details.
India's broader aim is to narrow the current account deficit to 3.7 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the fiscal year ending in March 2014, down from a record 4.8 percent in the previous fiscal year, Chidambaram told parliament, a goal many analysts said was optimistic.
But market participants fear India's piecemeal approach of raising a couple billion dollars here and a couple of billion there will not be enough to arrest the rupee's decline at a time when the economy is weakening and prospects of foreign outflows grow on the back of a rollback in U.S. stimulus.
(Read more: Relax, India's massive gold imports likely a one-off)
Without a more ambitious plan to tackle the current account deficit, analysts say the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may need to stick to its gambit of draining cash from the financial system longer than expected, risking further strains on the economy and, in turn, making it harder to attract vital foreign inflows.
"These measures need to be backed by structural reforms. Unless the fundamental woes are addressed, any sustained relief in the rupee will be temporary," said Anubhuti Sahay, economist at Standard Chartered Bank in Mumbai.
The rupee recovered somewhat after the announcement of the gold and silver import tax hikes to trade at 61.12 to the dollar. It earlier fell to as low as 61.66 per dollar, not far from the record low of 61.80 hit on Aug. 6. It has lost more than 10 percent so far this year.
All that glitters
India hiked the import duty on gold to a record 10 percent, the third such increase in eight months, while also raising excise duty on the metal.
(Read more: Is India fighting a losing battle against gold bugs?)
Gold is India's biggest luxury import and was a key contributor to the all-time high in the current account deficit.
The move comes as imports of gold revived to $2.9 billion in July after a series of tax hikes and constraints on supplies had initially appeared to stem demand, confirming the resilience of demand in the world's biggest buyer of bullion.
Analysts also fear that duties on gold may just increase smuggling.

Today I'm going to take you to my dream destination. A place that I visit as often as I need to. Sometimes I only go once a week, on bad days several times an hour. As you can imagine, I'm not a millionaire with a chartered plane ready to fly on a moment's notice therefore this destination lies within my mind.
It's the place that I go to when I need a breather. It's the place I conger in my mind when I let it run wild and give into my heart's desire. A place high up in the mountains, where the air is crisp and clear. A place that you can see the bluest of blue skies, the most colorful of sunrises and sunsets. A place that light pollution is near non-existent allowing me to search for familiar constellations like words in a word-search puzzle. A place lit up by the light of the moonlight and warmed by the sun's rays. A place full of lush, green, and fruitful vegetation. Where the trees grow tall and strong and flowers bloom to reveal their beautiful colors and fragrance. The sounds of a flowing stream lull me to sleep in my hammock overlooking the waters. Where I have a notebook nearby to write as the urge strikes me.
This is my dream destination. The place that my mind goes to often and brings a smile to my face. What's yours? Is it a place you've been to and fell in love with? A place that you fell in love with someone? Somewhere you've never been but want to? Is is near the beach? Why do you like it so much?
This is part of the Love Is In Da Blog challenge as well as my own Travel Thursday series. As it turns out I followed the prompt without even knowing it. I came up with my topic 12 hours before I saw the post. Initially it was going to be for next week so I could follow this week's prompt but I guess it is destined to be posted today.

Playlists on Spotify are a pretty big deal. Over 24 million users have created over a billion playlists of the music they want to hear in the order they want to hear it. But the availability of playlists is now under threat due to a lawsuit from a record label claiming copyright infringement.
The record label in question is Ministry of Sound (MoS), which focuses on releasing compilation albums containing mainly dance music. The issue MoS has is that Spotify has allowed the creation of playlists that mirror those of the label's compilations. In the eyes of MoS that is copyright infringement and has taken its case to the UK High Court in a bid to get the playlists removed as well as damages and costs awarded.
To be clear, Spotify has the appropriate licenses to play all of the music listed in their playlists. That's not what MoS has an issue with. It's actually the order in which they are being played they feel isn't appropriate or even legal. MoS argues that there is intellectual property associated with the order of the songs and Spotify is effectively allowing users to "cut and paste them."
The outcome of this lawsuit will basically come down to the question of whether you can actually copyright the order in which a set of songs play. If MoS wins, then it looks likely Spotify's playlist feature will have to have limits put in place that render it pretty useless. If MoS loses, it is a nail in the coffin of compilation albums as users can just create their own and copy any that are released.
Looking at this from a consumer perspective it seems a bit ridiculous. A playlist is just a list of songs that anyone can create. MoS chooses to create a compilation and sell it as a set package. I could go to any online store and purchase the individual tracks from a compilation and create it myself. So why can't Spotify users do the same? The music artists are still getting paid, and therefore the record labels are, too.
Where MoS loses out is by licensing 3rd-party tracks, which they wouldn't get paid for on Spotify under the current rules. What MoS wants is a license fee paid for curation. In other words, an extra license fee just for the order in which songs are played.
If you'd like to to know more about Ministry of Sound's stance on Spotify, check out their chief executive's blog post on The Guardian website explaining the situation before you make up your mind.

Chapter 3
How Byrrhena sent victuals unto Apuleius, and how hee talked with Milo of Diophanes, and how he lay with Fotis.
When noone was come, Byrrhena sent to me a fat Pigge, five hennes, and a flagon of old wine. Then I called Fotis and sayd, Behold how Bacchus the egger and stirrer of Venery, doth offer him self of his owne accord, let us therefore drink up this wine, that we may prepare our selves and get us courage against soone, for Venus wanteth no other provision than this, that the Lamp may be all the night replenished with oyle, and the cups with wine. The residue of the day I passed away at the Bains and in banquetting, and towards evening I went to supper, for I was bid by Milo, and so I sate downe at the table, out of Pamphiles sight as much as I could, being mindfull of the commandement of Byrrhena, and sometimes I would cast myne eyes upon her as upon the furies of hell, but I eftsoones turning my face behinde me, and beholding my Fotis ministring at the table, was again refreshed and made merry. And behold when Pamphiles did see the candle standing on the table, she said, Verily wee shall have much raine to morrow. Which when her husband did heare, he demanded of her by what reason she knew it? Mary (quoth shee) the light on the table sheweth the same. Then Milo laughed and said, Verily we nourish a Sybel prophesier, which by the view of a candle doth divine of Celestiall things, and of the Sunne it selfe. Then I mused in my minde and said unto Milo, Of truth it is a good experience and proof of divination. Neither is it any marvell, for although this light is but a small light, and made by the hands of men, yet hath it a remembrance of that great and heavenly light, as of his parent, and doth shew unto us what will happen in the Skies above. For I knew at Corinth a certain man of Assyria, who would give answers in every part of the City, and for the gaine of money would tell every man his fortune, to some he would tel the dayes of their marriages, to others he would tell when they should build, that their edifices should continue. To others, when they should best go e about their affaires. To others, when they should goe by sea or land: to me, purposing to take my journey hither, he declared many things strange and variable. For sometimes hee sayd that I should win glory enough: sometimes he sayd I should write a great Historie: sometimes againe hee sayd that I should devise an incredible tale: and sometimes that I should make Bookes. Whereat Milo laughed againe, and enquired of me, of what stature this man of Assyria was, and what he was named. In faith (quoth I) he is a tall man and somewhat blacke, and hee is called Diophanes. Then sayd Milo, the same is he and no other, who semblably hath declared many things here unto us, whereby hee got and obtained great substance and Treasure.
But the poore miser fell at length into the hands of unpittifull and cruell fortune: For beeing on a day amongst a great assembly of people, to tell the simple sort their fortune, a certaine Cobler came unto him, and desired him to tel when it should be best for him to take his voyage, the which hee promised to do: the Cobler opened his purse and told a hundred pence to him for his paines. Whereupon came a certaine young gentleman and took Diophanes by the Garment. Then he turning himselfe, embraced and kissed him, and desired the Gentleman, who was one of his acquaintance, to sit downe by him: and Diophanes being astonied with this sudden change, forgot what he was doing, and sayd, O deare friend you are heartily welcome, I pray you when arrived you into these parts? Then answered he, I will tell you soone, but brother I pray you tell mee of your comming from the isle of Euboea, and how you sped by the way? Whereunto Diophanes this notable Assyrian (not yet come unto his minde, but halfe amased) soone answered and sayd, I would to god that all our enemies and evil willers might fall into the like dangerous peregrination and trouble. For the ship where we were in, after it was by the waves of the seas and by the great tempests tossed hither and thither, in great peril, and after that the mast and stern brake likewise in pieces, could in no wise be brought to shore, but sunk into the water, and so we did swim, and hardly escaped to land. And after that, whatsoever was given unto us in recompense of our losses, either by the pitty of strangers, or by the benevolence of our friends, was taken away from us by theeves, whose violence when my brother Arisuatus did assay to resist, hee was cruelly murthered by them before my face. These things when he had sadly declared, the Cobler tooke up his money againe which he had told out to pay for the telling of his fortune, and ran away. The Diophanes comming to himselfe perceived what he had done, and we all that stood by laughed greatly. But that (quoth Milo) which Diophanes did tell unto you Lucius, that you should be happy and have a prosperous journey, was only true. Thus Milo reasoned with me. But I was not a little sorry that I had traind him into such a vaine of talke, that I lost a good part of the night, and the sweete pleasure thereof: but at length I boldly said to Milo, Let Diophanes fare well with his evil fortune, and get againe that which he lost by sea and land, for I verily do yet feel the wearinesse of my travell, whereof I pray you pardon mee, and give me licence to depart to bed: wherewithall I rose up and went unto my chamber, where I found all things finely prepared and the childrens bed (because they should not heare what we did in the night) was removed far off without the chamber doore. The table was all covered with those meats that were left at supper, the cups were filled halfe full with water, to temper and delay the wines, the flagon stood ready prepared, and there lacked nothing that was necessary for the preparation of Venus. And when I was entring into the bed, behold my Fotis (who had brought her mistresse to bed) came in and gave me roses and floures which she had in her apron, and some she threw about the bed, and kissed mee sweetly, and tied a garland about my head, and bespred the chamber with the residue. Which when shee had done, shee tooke a cup of wine and delaied it with hot water, and profered it me to drinke; and before I had drunk it all off she pulled it from my mouth, and then gave it me againe, and in this manner we emptied the pot twice or thrice together. Thus when I had well replenished my self with wine, and was now ready unto Venery not onely in minde but also in body, I removed my cloathes, and shewing to Fotis my great impatiencie I sayd, O my sweet heart take pitty upon me and helpe me, for as you see I am now prepared unto the battell, which you your selfe did appoint: for after that I felt the first Arrow of cruell Cupid within my breast, I bent my bow very strong, and now feare, (because it is bended so hard) lest my string should breake: but that thou mayst the better please me, undresse thy haire and come and embrace me lovingly: whereupon shee made no long delay, but set aside all the meat and wine, and then she unapparelled her selfe, and unattyred her haire, presenting her amiable body unto me in manner of faire Venus, when shee goeth under the waves of the sea. Now (quoth shee) is come the houre of justing, now is come the time of warre, wherefore shew thy selfe like unto a man, for I will not retyre, I will not fly the field, see then thou bee valiant, see thou be couragious, since there is no time appointed when our skirmish shall cease. In saying these words shee came to me to bed, and embraced me sweetly, and so wee passed all the night in pastime and pleasure, and never slept until it was day: but we would eftsoones refresh our wearinesse, and provoke our pleasure, and renew our venery by drinking of wine. In which sort we pleasantly passed away many other nights following.

The Cactus proudly presents a tribute to two legendary pop-rock bands which helped define the music of the 1970s and '80s.
Foreigner sold over 80 million records since their formation in 1976...with hits including "Hot Blooded", "Juke Box Hero", "Dirty White Boy" and "Urgent"...just to name a few. Combining the ability to rock sold-out arenas with the delivery of mellow ballads such as "Waiting For A Girl Like You"....Foreigner has indisputably left their mark on the world of rock.
Journey may well be the ultimate example of arena rock from this same period. They delivered scorching rock anthems like "Any Way You Want It", "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Wheel In The Sky" to the delight of millions. Just as impressively, they scored just as many hits with softer gems like "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'", "Open Arms" and "Faithfully". With mastery of both sides of the rock-pop coin, the legacy of Journey continues to inspire scores of aspiring vocal groups today.

A man said, "My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table."
My wife asked, "Do you know her?"
"Yes," I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started.....
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself.."
And then the fight started.....
To possess Jesus is to possess love and peace.
Mary and Joseph were at the bottom of life's circumstances. Can you imagine a young couple, expecting their first baby, had to leave their home town behind and went to a faraway place that they were not familiar with. There was no relative and no friends. They could not find a place to rest at night because they were poor. If it happened to any of you today; probably you would blame each other, "I told you to call ahead and make a reservation." "I told you not to go but wait till after the baby is born." "You don't care that I am pregnant and you do not understand how hard it is for me to make this trip." That is us. But Mary and Joseph did not argue with each other. They were united in love because they have Jesus with them. You should remember one time that Mary and Joseph were not at peace. That was the time they lost Jesus when He stayed behind in the Temple. Mary and Joseph worried and went all over the place to look for Jesus in three days.
When they found him, they were happy and at peace again.
God loves the world and the world needs a Savior!
Why did the Son of God become human and lived among us? Because God loves us, and God knows we need a Savior! No other human being can save us. No one else can save the world except Jesus Christ.
Half of people in America are angry at President George Bush. The other half are suspicious and unhappy with the President elect Barrack Hussein Obama. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on charges he brazenly conspired to sell or trade President-elect Barack Obama's
vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder as part of what federal prosecutors called a "political corruption crime spree." He was also accused of engaging in pay-to-play politics. May people wonder how much can we trust our politicians?
When Gasoline was high at $147 a barrel and 4.00 a gallon at the stations, everyone was angry. Now the price of gasoline is down under $40 a barrel and costs only 1.35 a gallon at the station, everyone is worried about the economy.
The Senate passed its $700 billion to rescue the nation's financial services industry. The economic situation, however, hasn't improved. The number of people file for unemployment benefit is getting to the highest level in 24 years. President Bush has announced a loan package
to both GM and Chrysler totaling $17.4 billion to insure that the companies would not go bankrupt. Many investors get hurt by Madoff and BMIS with securities fraud for a massive Ponzi scheme. For years Madoff and BMIS paid "returns" out of funds sent to Madoff and BMIS by new investors, not from existing clients' actual returns on their investments. Over the past two decades, Madoff and BMIS have provided investment services for wealthy clients, institutions, schools, and charities. Madoff's services were marketed as providing steady
double-digit returns even in the most turbulent of markets. It all turns out to be a fraud.
We need a Savior.
The world needs a Savior. And today we and the whole world celebrate the birthday of the Savior. Today we and the Church welcome the Savior into our life.
I really enjoy listening to the song, "Mary Did You Know?" by Mark Lowry. I love to listen to Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd singing this song. Donny Osmond's voice is also very soothing with this song.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
May, did you know when you kiss your little baby; you kiss the face of God?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nation?
Each of the little couplets touches the heart in a wonderful way.
Every year, we look forward to this feast of our salvation. We welcome Christ as our Redeemer.
We recall his humanity, the life he shared with the human race. His divinity helps us answer his call to forgiveness and life so we will become more like him in his divine nature.
We rejoice in the Lord, for our Savior is born to the world.
Merry Christmas!
Rev. John Tran Kha

Prison Guards Accused of Forcing Inmates to Put Hot Sauce on Genitals
Several prison guards have been accused of forcing inmates to put hot sauce on their genitals. There's no shortage of prison horror stories. Now, several prisoners in North Carolina are claiming that guards forced them to do unimaginable acts. Inmates at the Sampson Correctional Institution are accusing guards of making them rub hot sauce on their testicles causing intense pain and blisters. They were also allegedly told to throw bunnies into traffic, strip naked and kiss snakes. The prisoners who carried out the acts were reportedly rewarded with food, cigarettes and beer. Inmates wrote a letter to the United States

The ongoing refugee crisis is probably affecting me more than my friends and colleagues could realize.
When I was six years old, I had to run away from my beautiful family home in a similar manner. I packed my red teddy bear and a pink-haired doll with a hand drawn star on her cheek. She played "Für Elise" until her batteries ran out. Till this day, that tune still gives me a sense of nostalgia. And for the last few months, it's been playing in my head over and over again as I watch Syrian refugees walk through my country, trying to find their place in the sun — a sun that isn't shadowed by grenades or blinded by explosions.
My background is a bit complex for people outside the Balkans. I'm Croatian. I was born during the mid-eighties in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the republics being former Yugoslavia. After Yugoslavia fell apart and the war began, I left Bosnia and went to live with my relatives in Croatia in the spring of 1992. My mother joined me a week or two later, after the bridge — which had connected what would soon become two different countries — exploded. She was able to cross the river illegally, but my father and grandmother stayed in our family home. A few months later, my dad ended up in a concentration camp, and it would take months until our family would be able to finally live in the same place again.
We went from weekends at my grandparents' house in the country, playing with my cousins, hanging out with my parents and constantly quarreling with my brother (we drove our parents crazy!), to living in a new strange place. From a beautiful family home, to squeezed in a tiny cold and damp apartment. Everything changed in one moment. In this new place, I became "that Bosnian girl": a refugee, an outsider. And I remained an outsider for the most of my life.
Bosnian and Croatian languages aren't that different, but my accent was. My background was. Everybody knew that I didn't belong there, even though I was Croatian. I didn't understand why the kids laughed at me just because I talked differently. I was confused. I mean, I talked the way I was taught to talk. And I suddenly became a joke? Through my teen years, I decided to embrace my destiny and truly become an outsider; I listened to punk, flirted with anarchism, dyed my hair black, red, pink, and purple. I was angry and anxious because I never felt like I had found my home, literally or figuratively. Still, I was a very good student and planned to study journalism.
But the year before I finished high school, my father suddenly died. I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye; I was on summer vacation, visiting my relatives in Austria, and my last words to him were something like, "Bye, see you soon." It turns out that "soon" still lasts.
It was another huge blow for my family. My father had started a small family business that simply fell apart without him. Our bare existence was threatened again. And my dream of studying journalism in another town faded away.
"Pick yourself up, dust yourself off": I did that a lot through the years.
I still managed to work as a journalist, even though I studied something else. It was a fun time; I learned a lot, I was pretty happy with my job and had huge plans, but a few years later, the economic crisis took its toll. Since I was still a student, I was an associate, not a full-time employee. Thus, I was among the first on the list to be let go. I became unemployed, did some freelancing, took some shitty and underpaid jobs... And again I felt like an outsider — like someone who should have been on the start of a fantastic career — rather than just trying not to starve. Again.
But, pick yourself up, dust yourself off.
The only place I didn't feel like an outsider was online. I felt connected to the world through the Internet. Forums, blogs, chat rooms, social media — I've seen it all. I used it for learning, fun, and meeting people similar to myself or completely different. I became interested in how technology influenced our lives and soon became a living example. I got a few freelance jobs through LinkedIn, and decided to move to another, larger city. A few months later, I saw a job opportunity on Twitter at one of the top Croatian PR agencies, and got it! I did some work in social media, worked with some large global and national brands. After a year I got an offer to go back to journalism and blogging.
I took that opportunity, and three years later I'm still here! I'm an Executive Editor at Netokracija, a collaborative blog that became an online magazine which writes about technology, startups, business, Internet marketing, and more. I've met some amazing people and I'm truly inspired by their work, success, knowledge, willingness to take risks (not something encouraged in this region), and their ability to fail, dust off, and start again. And, I suppose, that's something we have in common.
Now, every day, I learn something new, experience something different. I get opportunities to travel, meet the world and share my new knowledge with Netokracija's audience, friends, and family. My Instagram feed has never looked better. :) I used to be so scared, constantly frightened! I was always expecting something bad to happen, because something bad always happened! Now I'm finally looking forward to the future, looking forward to every brand new day, looking forward to the future me. And I've never felt so confident, calm, and happy :)
There's nothing wrong with making mistakes (as long as you learn something from them). The problem is if the mistakes are not your own, if you constantly let other people's deeds affect your life. You need to be in charge of your own life. All of the past events have made me tougher, stronger than I thought I could ever be. I'm finally not afraid and anxious. And a few months back, Central European Startup Awards named me as one of the Most Influential Women in the Croatian startup community.
So guess what? I might still be "that Bosnian girl," and I will always be "a refugee," but I don't feel like an outsider anymore.

Editor's Thoughts
This little light o' mine, I'm goin' let it shine.
— Harry Dixon Loes | composer
War has displaced more than half of all people in Syria. More than 4 million Syrians have fled abroad since the Civil War outbreak in 2011. They are fleeing war, persecution, and violence. There are millions of refugees all over the world, with more than half of them on the planet coming from Syria, Somalia, and Afghanistan. They are seeking peace and safety, a place to call home. And as I watch my own governmentsin the news debate whether or not to accept refugees, I feel it necessary to say — the refugee crisis is not just the responsibility of a few. Humanity is a global responsibility.
I don't know what it's like to go from hanging with friends one day to deciding to put your whole family on a raft to face the unknown in the Aegean Sea in search of a greater hope. I don't know what it's like to sleep on the ground in an overcrowded makeshift camp, with food and aid as scarce as hope, while trying not to think of the fate of loved ones left behind. This road is foreign to me. And to face these overwhelming obstacles and suddenly find yourself considered a joke, simply because you look different, speak different… well, that's just ridiculous.
But, this was Mia's story — to wake up in a strange, new world — as the outsider. Yet, she miraculously finds a way to pick herself up and dust herself off, time and time again. She has suffered loss in just about every way imaginable. But she's still playful. She fights for that smile. She fights, like any other refugee, for a place to call home. Lessons learned from her father, no doubt. Tenacity. That unyielding spirit gifted from him, coupled with this fearlessness toward new beginnings — presumably, hard lessons learned during years as a refugee — is what sets Mia apart. She's not afraid to lose; this fearlessness positions her perfectly for the win. This fearlessness is her light. And there is no dimming this light of Mia.

Interviewing Tips
90% of hires are based solely upon the interview according to a Harvard Business Review study. In fact, 63% of hiring decisions are made within the first 4.3 minutes of an interview (courtesy SHRM). So, the interview is probably the most important part of the hiring process. And that's why you need to spend time with your personal recruiter to better understand whom you are interviewing with and the issues that you will be talking about during the interview.
You always need to "take temperatures" because people have minds and they're changing them constantly. Being prepared for an interview is vital. The following preparation is very unique and effective in conducting a positive interview.
Things To Remember:
- People have to buy you before they buy from you.
- People hire and accept emotionally first and justify logically later.
- People are most sold by your conviction rather than by your persuasion.
- Speak from your heart.
- Know your technology, but think PEOPLE.
- The decision to hire is made in the first few minutes of the interview, with the remaining time spent justifying that decision.
Candidate Preparation:
Your job during the interview is to create value for yourself by:
- Answering questions with specific examples of your experience - keep it brief.
- Asking great questions that start with who, what, where, how or why. Write them down and bring them to the interview. Avoid compensation & benefits for the first interview.
- Be prepared. Research the company and hiring authority.
- Show your interest in the position.
Example Questions
- What are the duties and responsibilities of the position I'm applying for? This is an excellent icebreaker question for the hiring authority and a great start to a successful interview. What percentage of my job is dedicated to administration, supervisory, and technical?
- What is my number one priority that has to be done before I leave each day? Why?
- What are the production or sales goals? What obstacles would prevent me from reaching my goals?
- What is your background?
- What are the short and long term goals set for the person in this position?
- Why do you like it here?
- Salary - this is a trap question. If the question is brought up a very good response is "I would like as much as the position will pay" OR "I am currently making $_____. Although I would like an increase, I don't know enough about the opportunity to answer that fairly"). Be very careful that you don't short yourself. Be sure to keep in mind your base salary, bonus program, stock options, gain sharing programs, performance bonuses, benefits, etc.
- Ask for the job! "I haven't interviewed in a while, what is the next step? Can we conclude our business today if all goes well?" Summarize what you've done that ties in with the new position and ask, "Do I have the qualifications you're looking for?" then remain silent for an answer. If the hiring authority says, "I'm looking at other people," you say, "How do my qualifications match the people you're considering." Your #1 priority is to receive an offer, if this is a position that you desire, your #2 priority is to know the next step. ALWAYS SEND A FOLLOW-UP EMAIL, keep it brief.

Becoming Wise
James 1:5-8, 3:13-18
Warm Up: James continues to coach us to put action to our faith, to not just believe, but to do. This week James reminds us that when we act, we need to do so with wisdom. Something that, not only Christians, but the world, knows it needs so desperately. What are some common "words of wisdom" that we hear in our culture and that people seem to value?
- Read James 1:5-7. One definition of wisdom is, "the moral discernment that enables a believer to meet life and its trials with decisions and actions consistent with God's will." Wisdom is something that we need in order to live a faith-filled life according to God's will. If wisdom is so vital, where does it come from and how do we get it?
- Can you think of a time in your life when you needed wisdom, asked God for it, and He answered…even in a surprising way?
- Read James 3:13-18. In this world there are two types of wisdom: from God or from the world. From this passage, what are some contrasts that you see between these two types of wisdom?
- Those using "worldly wisdom" often abide by this sort of mantra: "I just know how to get things done." What does this mentality say about this type of person? Have you known people who live with this mantra?
- In contrast, 1 Corinthians 1:18-23, 2:12-16, and 3:18 show us that godly wisdom looks out for the good of another, that it comes through the Holy Spirit, and it is about living righteously before others (Read these passages aloud). If you were to embrace this kind of wisdom and walk in obedience to it, in what ways would your decisions at work, home, and with friends be different? Is there an "action" you sense God is inviting you take here?
- In getting God's wisdom we first need to make the decision to actually follow God's ways in our daily lives. Second, we need to ask Him for wisdom daily, continually, and as problems, trials, and tests arise. Lastly, we need to study the Bible to know, understand, and become well acquainted with God's heart.
- Of these, which do you find easiest? Which is most difficult? Share some ways you have been able to stay diligent in doing these.
Wrap Up: Acts 6:1-7 is an example of how the Apostles acted with the wisdom of God. They moved to action and took responsibility. What does it look like for you to apply God's wisdom and "take responsibility" in the trials that you are currently facing? Spend some time asking God for His wisdom and the boldness to act according to His will!
