HSBC Holdings, London, and two of its U.S. subsidiaries have been ordered to pay a record $1.92 billion in fines and penalties for anti-money laundering (AML) and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) violations. This settles charges that HSBC transferred billions of dollars for sanctioned countries and enabled Mexican drug cartels to launder drug proceeds in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act, and engaged in transactions with certain Middle Eastern countries that are prohibited under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and the Trading with the Enemy Act. Ballard Spahr will host a webinar on AML and OFAC compliance on Tuesday, December 18, 2012.
The HSBC settlement is the result of coordinated action among various U.S. state and federal agencies and regulators as well as international authorities. U.S. agencies involved in this action include the Federal Reserve, the Department of Justice, the New York District Attorney for New York County, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, OFAC, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). In addition, the U.K. Financial Services Authority (FSA), HSBC's home country supervisor, has agreed to assist the Fed in supervising compliance with its order. The FSA also will be pursuing its own, separate action against HSBC, according to the Justice Department.
The settlement includes a deferred prosecution agreement for HSBC, which will extensively overhaul its anti-money laundering operations in the next five years. Law enforcement authorities declined to indict HSBC for criminal violations because of concerns that an indictment could jeopardize one of the world's largest banks and ultimately destabilize the global financial system. Such concerns would not exist for financial institutions that are not systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs). Instead of an indictment, the Justice Department filed a criminal information against HSBC.
This announcement comes only a day after an announcement of a $327 million settlement against Standard Chartered Bank with OFAC, the Federal Reserve, the Department of Justice, and the New York District Attorney's Office. That settlement is in addition to the $340 million paid to the State of New York in September in settlement of an action brought by the N.Y. Superintendent of Financial Services against Standard Chartered.
The HSBC fines and penalties are the largest amount ever paid for AML and OFAC violations and may well be a harbinger of stricter AML/OFAC enforcement and higher penalties for institutions that violate these laws and regulations. The actions against HSBC and Standard Chartered send a very strong message to banks and nonbank financial institutions that they must take the necessary steps to ensure their continued AML and OFAC compliance.
Ballard Spahr's Bank Regulation and Supervision Group and Consumer Financial Services Group regularly counsel bank and nonbank clients on AML and OFAC compliance and represent them in connection with enforcement actions. In addition, the Bank Regulation and Supervision Group, Consumer Financial Services Group, and White Collar/Investigations Group include experienced lawyers who regularly assist clients in corporate investigations, responses to subpoenas, and civil investigative demands.

Kaplinsky at 215.864.8544 or firstname.lastname@example.com, Beth Moskow-Schnoll in the Consumer Financial Services Group at 302.252.4447 or email@example.com, or Keith R.

AHA MEDIA is delighted to present Vancouver Police Museum's first contest ever – "Me and a Tommy"
AHA MEDIA is very pleased to present the Vancouver Police Museum located in the heart of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside on Cordova Street right next to Fire Hall theatre
The Vancouver Police Museum is a small non-profit museum dedicated to portraying the history of the Vancouver Police Department. We are located at 240 E. Cordova Street (in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside). We also happen to be housed in a very cool building.
Below are contest details right from http://www.vancouverpolicemuseum.ca/weblog/2009/06/me-and-a-tommy/
So stoked!
This morning, we received an email from a big movie studio, asking if we'd be interested in seeing a sneak preview of an upcoming major summer film. As you might imagine, this caught us a little off-guard, since we've never received any sneak preview tickets at the Police Museum before. After the shock wore off, we decided to press our luck and see how many tickets we could get. In the end, they gave us 20 (!) pairs of tickets for the screening. (Screening is in the evening of Thursday, June 25th)
We can't tell you what film this is for yet, but we're pretty sure you'd enjoy checking this one out before the masses. So, we've decided to run a contest or two in the next week to give you a chance to come join us. The first contest, we're calling… "Me and a Tommy".
As you may know, we're pretty proud of the eight Thompson Submachine Guns we have in our museum collection. Invented by John T. Thompson in 1919, the Thompson became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. (Vancouver Police bought 42 of them, at $50 a piece!) The Thompson was also known informally as the "Tommy Gun", the "Trench Broom", the "Trench Sweeper", the "Chicago Piano", the "Chicago Typewriter", and the "Chopper". (Thanks for the succinct write-up, Wikipedia!)
To win this contest, you need to take a photograph of yourself with a Tommy; could be a person, an object, a poster, arts-and-crafts, whatever… be creative, as long as it's clearly a "Tommy'. Once you've got the picture, comment on this blog entry with your name and a link to your picture, or post a Twitpic on Twitter with the hashtag "#vpmtommy". (No photoshops, or digital edits, please!)
To summarize the contest:
1) Take a picture of you and a Tommy
2) Get it online
3) ???
All entries must be up before 5pm on Sunday, June 21.
Afterward, our elite panel of judge(s) will pick the most creative, unique or awesome entries and award the selected contributors each a pair of tickets to the screening. We may award as few as one or as many as five sets of tickets for this contest, depending on how much awesomeness we receive. You can submit multiple photos, but you can only win once.
Good luck to you all!
ps. The first person to post a real picture of themselves with Tommy Chong, (no photoshopping!!!) wins automatically!
AHA MEDIA wishes to congratulate Megaphone Magazine on winning two International Awards!
AHA MEDIA wishes to give a big THANK YOU and a huge round of applause to Megaphone Magazine – Vancouver's Street Magazine! Fantastic work and very prestigious honors! You have represented us to the world in the very best of ways and we are honored to have worked with you! ! 🙂
Megaphone Wins Two International Awards
On Thursday, May 14th, Megaphone Magazine was the proud winner of two international awards at the International Network of Street Papers (INSP) conference in Bergen, Norway. Functionality', which appeared in Megaphone Issue #2.Falling Through the Cracks,' which was published in The Tyee and then republished in Megaphone Issue #15:The prestigious international judging panel included Martin Wanjala Ocholi, a media consultant from Kenya; Sanjay Suri, editor for Inter Press Service (IPS), Europe-Mediterranean (IPS); Silja J.A. Talvi, an award-winning investigative journalist and author from the United States; and Oddleiv Apneseth, an award-winning photographer from Norway. The awards were chaired by David Schlesinger, Editor-in-Chief of Reuters News and INSP's Honorary President.Megaphone would like to congratulate Ahmad, Sean and The Tyee for their dedication to raising awareness about poverty and ending homelessness.
Megaphone contributing photographer Ahmad Kavousian won 'Best Photograph – Evoking deeper perspectives on poverty and injustice' for his photo, '
"A beautifully shot image of a hammock rigged up on a beach debris – as Vancouver's lack of affordable housing pushes more and more people onto the streets, the photo expresses the lengths to which some are driven just to find a place to sleep."
And Megaphone Editor-in-Chief Sean Condon won the 'Special Award for External Press – Advocating for the needs and rights of homeless people' for his story, '
"Paul 'Duncan' Geisbrecht, a Vancouver homeless man, suffered from schizophrenia and crack cocaine addiction. When he died last year, he was just one week away from entering supportive housing. Tracing Paul's life story, this piece illustrates how faults in Canada's social system can have tragic consequences for society's most vulnerable."
"On behalf of all our vendors and volunteers, I would like to express what a great honour it is for Megaphone to win these awards," said Condon, who attended the ceremony in Bergen with Megaphone editor Darren Atwater. "The International Network of Street Papers is a powerful movement that is reshaping the debate about poverty around the world while helping provide thousands of low-threshold jobs to homeless and low-income people. We here at Megaphone are very privileged to be a part of this movement and thank the judging panel for recognizing our hard work."
"As a member of the official judging panel for two years running, I can attest to the continuing quality and depth of these entries, across the board–a fact most certainly due to rather than in spite of the diverse contexts, languages and geographies from which they have come," said Schlesinger.

Expansion News: TAG Raw Bar [1]
Dinner last night at TAG Raw Bar [5] revealed two things: new dishes (such as the kangaroo wrap, pictured) and expansion plans. In a few weeks, chef-owner Troy Guard will blast through the neighboring wall to add 34 seats to the existing 32. The current space, though modern and sleek, has some awkward seating, and this new section's booths, tables, and communal table will be more conducive to multicourse dining.
With those changes comes menu development. A new juicer has been brought on board, and Guard will further utilize the Anti-Griddle [6] (a platform that's -42 degrees and ideal for creating unexpectedly cold, crunchy, and chilled textures). Though the restaurant's shtick is raw, Guard is considering adding a few heated dishes, such as pot stickers, dumplings, and shishito peppers.
Guard says blueprints have been submitted to the city, and a liquor license is in the works. The plan is to have the newly expanded space open by Restaurant Week [7], which takes place February 25–March 9. "I've already put together my menu and it's a good showcase," Guard says. "I want to take advantage of those two weeks when people are checking out new places."
In the meantime, Raw Bar will be open during construction.

Gilsonite lump natural asphalt powder mineral bitumen
Gilsonite is black hard resin and brittle that occurs as asphalt complexes in boarder of Iran and Iraq.Gilsonite composed mainly of NSO compounds and asphaltite with subordinate saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Gilsonite is a common drilling mud additive, but it also is used in asphalt paving, roofing and construction paper, paint, ink, explosive, carbon electrodes, and various fuels. At the surface, natural asphalt dikes range from several millimeters to more than 5m thick; some are exposed for up to 39km but most are less than 5km in length. The dike cut across various lower Eocene to Oligocene extension fractures caused by local overpressure in oil shale.ATDM Is Iranian Gilsonite "Natural asphalt" mine owner and manufacturer of lump and powder in various mesh size in powder and raw type lump with application including FLC which is Fluid Loss Control additives in oil well drilling mud and filtrate control as hole stabilizer for high temperature high pressure oil well HTHP, HTLP and as bitumen modifier to mix with asphalt to improve performance and stability of bitumen. The natural asphalt is leading in roof coating, building product coating and road sealcoat crack sealer suppliers. From natural asphalt we are producing drilling fluid which is shale inhibitor in drilling fluid and reacting with shale to prevent sloughing and swelling.
Natural asphalt pellet
We are able to make pellet from natural asphalt and it is using as bitumen modifier in road construction business.Pellet of natural asphalt is availble in 25Kg bag and using right now in ministry of road construction in larg amount.
Natural asphalt drilling fluid as fluid loss control additives and shale control in oil base
Physical shape of natural asphalt and coal is same but specification and analyze is quite difference. The main differences are in softening point and solubility also ash content. natural asphalt in powder or lump form is hydrocarbon with softening point between 150~250°C and coal is carbon with high softening point starting from 300°C.We are selling our natural asphalt with COA certificate of analysis to guaranty the solubility in CS2 ,trichloroethylene and export low ash content.

Uses of Gilsonite natural asphalt in paving and mix with asphalt
Gilsonite is used as performance-enhancing agents for asphalt Gilsonite modified paving mixes achieve higher performance grades (PG) and incorporate into an asphalt blend with no need for high shear mulling as in the case with some other modifiers. The use of SBS (styrene-butadiene- styrene) polymers may be partially or totally replaced by, or complemented by the presence of Gilsonite-modified asphalts can have higher stability, reduced deformation, reduced temperature susceptibility and increased resistance to water stripping as compared to non-modified asphalts. A difficulty in using gilsonite as an asphalt modifier is that it is a solid, which is more difficultly handled and incorporated into viscous bitumen.On the other hand, a wide variety of polymers have been used as additives in bitumen compositions; For example, copolyrners derived from styrene and conjugated dienes, such as butadiene or isoprene, are particularly useful, since these copolyrners have good solubility in bitumen compositions and the resulting modified- bitumen compositions have good Theological properties.
Gilsonite price
Gilsonite price is depend on oil price, availability in stock, rainy season and dry season, application, mesh size, packing and volume quantity is different.
MSDS of Gilsonite
MSDS of Gilsonite allow transporting the goods without any problem to worldwide market by any transport mode.
Gilsonite HS code
With HS code of 27149000 is compatible with all waxes and resin, thermoset, thermoplastic, Elastomer, ink and paint.

First of all this smells amazing! It has a natural rose scent with a hint of a fruity note. I used it this morning as a facial wash diluted with filtered water. Still cant believe how well this Dr Bronners Castile Soap suds! All you need is a little in your hands and it foams up really nice. Gets your skin really clean without stripping and is non irritating. Besides that the smell is so refreshing. Cant wait to use this in the shower.

The eighth season of the British sci-fi series about the Time Lord who travels in a blue police box begins this Saturday, and there's a new man at the TARDIS controls: Scottish actor Peter Capaldi.
Accompanied by co-star Jenna Coleman, who plays the Doctor's companion Clara Oswald, and showrunner Steven Moffat, the trio embarked on a TARDIS-worthy world tour to promote the show, visiting five continents in 12 days.
We caught up with them ahead of the New York City premiere to find out what's in store.
Expect a proper introduction:
Moffat, who also wrote the season's first episode, said he wanted to keep the plot secondary. "I didn't want it to be wildly complicated as it were because obviously the grandstanding at the center of it is a new Doctor and a new relationship with a companion, so you really just want the villains to be lurching around offing people now and then with quite a simple backstory."
But not references:
Capaldi guest-starred in a previous episode, as well as being known for his recent role on "The Thick of It." But Moffat said there won't be any nudge-nudge nods in the series. "Frankly the reason the Doctor looks like another character in 'Doctor Who' is because he's played by the same actor, and everybody knows that.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's soccer team recorded a 7-0 shutout against Alabama A&M Sunday afternoon at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
Lipscomb improved their record to 1-1 while Alabama A&M falls to 0-1.
"Overall it was a good performance," said Lipscomb head coach Kevin O'Brien. "The second half looked better than the first.
"The total game I was pleased with the girls. They worked really hard in extremely tough conditions."
Freshmen Natalie DuBoise and Mary-Stewart Schwarz made their first career goals during the competition.
"We've got freshmen that will be contributing all season long," O'Brien said. "So to see them get their first collegiate goal is exciting.
"It can only help us. When you get young players that kind of experience over the course of a four-year career, it's invaluable."
Alesondra Colbert, Caroline Chadwell, and Jolene Muir also recorded their first goals of the season.
DuBoise nailed a penalty kick in the 36th minute to give the Lady Bisons the early 1-0 lead.
Two minutes later, Colbert scored her first goal of the season after Lyndie Donegan passed the ball into the box to give Colbert the scoring opportunity.
"During our halftime talk we got into them a little bit," O'Brien said. "We have standards but I don't think they came out with the right mentality.
"I think they responded very professionally in a way that makes the coaching staff proud."
Muir landed a goal in the net after a lofted ball from Chadwell placed the ball in front of the net in the 61st minute.
At the 63-minute mark, Colbert came back with her second goal after a save attempt by goalie Marissa Oehler got away opening up the goal for Colbert.
Assisted by Karli Crosby, Chadwell picked up a goal in the 69th minute while Schwarz picked up her first career goal after a corner kick in the 83rd minute.
DuBoise drilled her second shot of the day at the 86th minute after a corner kick by Emily Shuler.
"In the end it was awesome," O'Brien said. "We got to see some young girls who were featured in the preseason, but we hadn't seen them in a real competitive match.
"It was great to see them running around and playing together. I think they did a great job."
- Since 2001, the Purple and Gold are 2-1 against Alabama A&M.
- The match saw four total assists by Lipscomb players.
- The Lady Bisons placed 16 of their 34 shots on goal leaving the Lady Bulldogs with two of their six shots on goal.
- Freshman goalie Kate Mason made her collegiate debut in the net logging one save. Sophomore Anna Buhigas also made one save during her playing time in the first half.
- The Purple and Gold led the day with nine corner kicks. Alabama A&M recorded two.
Up Next: The Lady Bisons will be back in action Tuesday Aug. 26 as they take on Memphis at 7 p.m.

Captain EO
Returning from a 16 year hiatus, Captain EO now plays in Epcot's Imagination Pavilion. On June 30, 2010 cast members and members of the media were treated to preview of Captain EO. On July 2, 2010, the attraction officially reopened to guests.
Captain EO is vintage Michael Jackson in his prime. The songs are all original Jackson, and bring to life the story of an electronic band of space creatures who undergo a magical transformation and aid Jackson in conquering the evil forces of darkness.
The preshow area is physically the same as Honey I Shrunk the Audience, with a slanted floor. The monitors begin to share wait times at about 8 minutes and they are periodically updated. For those who are deaf or hearing impaired there are screens with captions on each row, ask the cast member specifically where they are located.
The original pre-show is shown.
After viewing the pre-show, enter the theater, take a seat, put on your 3D glasses and enjoy an enhanced sound system and new special effects thanks to the technology enhancements made when Honey I Shrunk the Audience debuted.
"The colorful new Disney-created musical instrument characters include: Hooter, the little green elephant who sneezes wild musical notes through his flute-like trunk; Fuzzball, the orange-haired space monkey with butterfly wings; Geex, a gold-encased, two-faced personality with two left feet, one right foot and two shaggy heads named Idy and Ody; Major Domo, whose mirrored silver costume becomes a complete set of drums, traps and string bass played by Fuzzball; and Minor Domo, with his sparkling purple torso that turns into an electronic synthesizer played by Hooter." (From the original Press Release in the '80s).

Japan still world's No. 2 economy with 4Q GDP jump |
AP Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 9:16 am TWN |
TOKYO -- Japan is still the world's second-biggest economy as fourth-quarter growth beat expectations and kept the country just ahead of a surging China.
Real gross domestic product grew at an annual pace of 4.6 percent in the October-December period, the government said Monday. The average forecast of 15 economists polled by The Associated Press was annualized growth of 3.4 percent. The results indicate that Japan continues to benefit from government stimulus measures around the world, which have bolstered global trade and persuaded Japanese households to boost spending. GDP, or the total value of the nation's goods and services, has climbed for three straight quarters. The annualized figure corresponds to quarterly growth of 1.1 percent. Japan posted zero growth in the July-September quarter. Japan's nominal GDP for the 2009 calendar year came to about US$5.1 trillion. China said last month its domestic output totaled US$4.9 trillion. Government officials said they were encouraged by the latest numbers, particularly since it was the first time in seven quarters for domestic demand to push GDP higher. Consumer spending, which accounts for about 60 percent of the economy, rose 0.7 percent from the previous quarter as shoppers took advantage of incentives on cars and home appliances. Companies are also gaining confidence and starting to invest in factories and equipment. Japan may now be strong enough to avoid falling back into recession, said Cabinet official Keisuke Tsumura, according to Kyodo News agency. Analysts agreed but predicted that consumer demand will decelerate, dragging growth in the months ahead and putting pressure on Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to draw up more stimulus measures. "Policy benefits will fade in subsequent quarters and deflationary tendencies remain stubborn," said Tetsufumi Yamakawa, chief Japan economist at Goldman Sachs. Corporate capital spending climbed 1 percent in the first expansion since January-March 2008. Public investment fell 1.6 percent, while exports jumped 5 percent. The fourth quarter figures cap a miserable economic year overall that sent Japan to its steepest recession since World War II. GDP fell a record 5 percent in 2009, the Cabinet Office report said in its report. Japan managed to hold on to its spot as the world's No. 2 economy, though analysts expect a quickly growing China to overtake it sometime this year. But it is precisely the strength of China and other emerging markets in Asia that has lifted Japan from its downturn, helping to offset domestic risks such as deflation and falling wages. Exports in December rose for the first time since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in late 2008, powering industrial production up 2.2 percent from the previous month. |

You might assume that the participants in the BBC4 documentary God's Cadets: Joining the Salvation Army would all be classic "lark" types, but there was a greater variety of personality than expected in this 90-minute film. It followed the pious, but not pompous "cadets" who had given up their lives to enter into two years of intensive officer training at the William Booth College in south London.
This documentary was full of interesting insights into the sort of people who become spiritual soldiers. Far from the stereotype of the sheltered innocent, struggling to connect with wayward sinners, many had dark pasts of their own, which gave both empathy and courage. Soft-spoken Annmarie might have looked a wally, sat at a King's Cross bar, offering a listening ear to lap-dancers, but that didn't stop her making herself of service. She knows what it feels like to need a friend.
If you're sick of those supposedly "behind-the-scenes" workplace documentaries where there's never a cross word between colleagues and every boss is an inspiration (yeah, right, come off it, Iceland Foods: Life in the Freezer Cabinet, Liberty of London and Educating Yorkshire), then this was an unexpected dose of candour.
Darren revealed he was troubled by passive-aggressive Post-it notes left by church zealots, Katie admitted to occasionally missing the sweet, sweet taste of cider and Janet said she had her wobbles: "I'm still an atheist every Monday morning before I've had my first cup of coffee." That's the kind of doubt which gives you faith.

| Belkin WeMo Switch and Motion home automation system for iOS Proper home automation systems can cost upwards of $10,000, and while budget alternatives can't touch the level of integration you'll enjoy with a behemoth rig, all but the most sophisticated of homeowners can squeak by with a simple timer setup -- or the modern equivalent. Belkin's WeMo duo utilizes two types of plug-in modules paired with an iOS 5+ app, which you'll use to set macros, control lights and schedule on/off times. A Switch module can turn on and off a lamp, fan, coffee maker, television or heating appliance from a connected iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. You can also set a seemingly unlimited number of detailed schedules for each device, all from the comfort of your WiFi-equipped touchscreen handheld. You can integrate the optional Motion device with a set of macros as well, configuring your lights to turn on once you step through the foyer, or your coffee maker to launch a brew as you walk through your bedroom door. We wired up a lamp in a New York City apartment to give WeMo a go, and things generally worked as advertised. Setup is fairly straightforward -- simply plug in a module, select its corresponding SSID broadcast from iOS then launch the free app to force the device onto your home WiFi network. You'll need to repeat the process to add each gadget or sensor, but once you do, you'll be able to config and control any connected gadget from anywhere on the network, or beyond. The system theoretically supports remote access without any additional setup (modules are registered to the app) but we weren't able to power up the lamp while on 3G during multiple attempts. That detail aside, we'd be happy to welcome WeMo into our home, though the absent Android app throws in a speed bump for sure. You have two options for adding WeMo -- there's a Switch + Motion kit available for $100, which includes a power control and motion sensor, or you can opt for the Switch solo for $50. Then, simply add as many outlet controllers as you wish, at 50 bucks a pop. You can see that first combo in action in our hands-on video after the break. http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/04/b...wemo-hands-on/ |

Monday, August 8th, 2016Remodeling Your Bathroom to Help Elderly Family Members
Monday, May 9th, 2016Most people remodel their bathroom for aesthetic reasons, or to correct design flaws like the awkward placement of a sink. But if you have an elderly family member living at home, or someone who has limited mobility, there may be an entirely different reason to conduct a bathroom redesign. You can remodel your bathroom to make it easier for them to function, helping erase some of the daily challenges they may face and improving not only their quality of life, but their self of independence as well. A good plumbing service can help with the planning and arrangements, and luckily, Dumont NJ has a service with the experience you need to help in such matters. Before that can happen, however, it helps to know just what kind of features are available, to give you an idea of what to plan for. We've included a brief list of some of the more popular options below.
Things to Consider When Remodeling Your Bathroom
Monday, October 26th, 2015A bathroom remodeling project can be very exciting, turning one of the most important parts of your home into the place you've always dreamed about. It's important, however, to make sure you consult with a qualified plumber to keep the practical realities of bathroom design in line with your pie-in-the-sky visions. A good plumber here in Bergen County, NJ can find the sweet spot between dreams and reality, letting you make the bathroom you want and deserve within the time and money constraints of the project. The more you know going in, the easier that process will be. Here's a few things to consider when remodeling your bathroom.
What Are Your Bathroom Sink Options?
Monday, August 24th, 2015If you're planning to remodel your bathroom, the possibilities can be intoxicating. You have the ability to fully transform your space into whatever you wish, and that includes key fixtures like your bathroom sink. You need to take care, however, to make sure that your pie-in-the-sky dreams still match practical reality. You're going to need to use that sink every day, after all, and as such it needs to be easy to use as well as aesthetically pleasing. It helps if you have a basic idea of your bathroom sink options before you start the remodeling. We've outlined the most popular options below.
3 Considerations to Keep in Mind When Remodeling Your Bathroom
Monday, June 22nd, 2015A bathroom remodeling project can be a boon, providing a more pleasing and aesthetic look to one of the most important rooms in your home. A good remodeling expert can perform bathroom remodeling with the skill and aplomb to bring your vision to life, and here in Bergen County, NJ there are companies that can do a perfect job. But a great deal of planning needs to go into any operation, and the more concepts you can nail down beforehand, the better the results will be. Here are 3 considerations to keep in mind when remodeling your bathroom.
3 Key Guidelines for Bathroom Remodeling
Friday, May 30th, 2014The bathroom isn't a room in your house that you probably associate with glamour or style. But a professionally handled bathroom remodel can do marvels for your daily life, even if it's a simple job that only replaces the fixtures.
Here are 3 good guidelines to consider when you arrange to have bathroom remodeling in Bergenfield, NJ.
Contact the skilled and experienced plumbing remodelers at BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc. to get started with planning for your new, beautiful bathroom.
I. Plumbing replacement is your friend
When redesigning a bathroom, you might consider leaving the pipes alone and concentrate on changing the fixtures, such as the faucets and the toilet. However, the pipes of your bathroom will be exposed during the remodel, and that means you have an opportunity to replace aging pipes. Even better, a full repiping gives you more freedom to remake the bathroom whatever way you want. You no longer have to work the remodel around the pipes!
II. Make the bathroom less water-wasteful
A bathroom remodel can be about more than increasing the bathroom's attractiveness with better fixtures. It can be about a more water-efficient bathroom that reduces your water use by almost 30%. With the addition of low-flow sink faucets, showerheads, and installation of a low-flow toilet, you can make the bathroom one of the main sources of water saving in your home. (The planet will thank you as well.)
III. Remember to look after your luxury
Don't think of a bathroom remodel as strictly a chore. This is a chance to enhance one of the most important and often used rooms in your house to make it more pleasant for everyone. All the changes in the bathroom don't have to center around purely utilitarian tasks. Add in a whirlpool bathtub for relaxation. Opt for a classy vessel or pedestal sink to give the room a fresh and stylish look. Ask your remodelers for suggestions on appliance replacements and additions that will make your new bathroom more luxurious.
It's crucial that you depend on experienced plumbers for a bathroom remodel, since this room relies on water flow more than any other in your home. With the right plumbers on your side for your bathroom remodel in Bergenfield, NJ, such as the ones at BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc., you can feel assured that you will receive the remodel that will make your bathroom more beautiful, luxurious, and water-conserving.
Things to Remember When Remodeling Your New Jersey Bathroom
Monday, April 16th, 2012Remodeling your New Jersey bathroom plumbing can be a great way to not only make it look better and more inviting, but also make it more environmentally friendly, while giving the resale value of the whole house an upgrade.
As with any big home project, there are some caveats and tips to doing it right. Here are some of those tips to consider before diving right in:
- Before starting on your bathroom or any remodeling project, work out a budget first. Establish what you want it to look like and how much you have to spend, then choose the options that fit into that framework. There are few things worse than having a bathroom left unfinished because you ran out of money halfway through the job.
- Remodeling is a great opportunity to assess the ventilation in your bathroom and upgrade it if necessary. Proper ventilation improves air quality and prevents mold growth and water damage, so an upgrade in equipment can be an investment that is well worth the expense.
- As tempting as it may be to make wholesale, sweeping changes to everything in your existing bathroom, it will be more difficult if you move plumbing around. It can extend the time it takes for the job to be done. Is it really worth an extra week of work to have the tub against another wall?
Keep those tips in mind as you consider that bathroom remodeling job, and you are likely to have the whole experience work out much more pleasantly for you.

Closter Plumbing Question: How Much Water Will I Save with a Low Flow Toilet?
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012There are many reasons why you might want to save water in your Closter home. Not only does it save you money, cutting down on your annual water bill, but it allows you to do your part in reducing your impact on the environment. And of all the appliances and plumbing fixtures in our homes, the toilet is among the worst offenders when it comes to wasting water.
That is why the advent of the low flush toilet has been very well received. While the 1.6 gpf toilet (standard toilets are 3.5 gpf) was originally invented in the 1990s, it is only now becoming more widespread as issues with things like clogging and multiple flushes were commonplace with the earliest models.
So, how much water can a low flush toilet actually save you? On average a 3.5 gpf toilet uses around 27,300 gallons of water per year. By comparison the 1.6 gpf toilet uses only 12,500 gallons per year. That is less than half as much water. With the average toilet using up to 30% of the daily water flow in a home, it is a fantastic way to cut back on your environmental footprint, and if your water bills tend to be high, it will severely reduce them as well.
Other Ways to Save Water
Low Flush Toilets are a great way to cut back on the amount of water we use in our homes, but there are other ways as well. In terms of fixtures, low flow shower heads are very popular right now and can help to cut back another 15% of your annual water use. You can also purchase lower flow faucets for your kitchen and bathroom sinks. High quality hot water heaters that provide hot water as needed are also good for reducing water use as you will not need to leave the faucet or bath running for any period of time.
Whether you want to cut a few dollars from your monthly bill or simply want to do your part to protect our environment, a low flush toilet is definitely the way to go, especially if you are remodelling or moving into a new home and the choice is there for you to take. If you have any questions about how to cut down on water use in your Closter home, give BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating a call today!

- - Dry lots...
Dry lots... This will probably seem like a silly question, but how exactly do you...make a dry lot? In the fall I'll be looking to move and Dream is overweight (we believe she is Insulin Resistent) and if she was on grass... :shock: the thought of her on grass makes me cringe. So I'll be needing to have a dry lot, but I don't know how to go about that. Help? :lol: |
Just have a small pen, quarter acre or around that is a good size for dry lots. And just don't irrigate it...there ya go! You could even take a fourwheeler or something and drag a harrow over it so it kind of keeps the grass from growing. There's not much to it. |
At that size and if you don't keep your horse of free choice hay then you're not going to get much growth. As the horse eats it down to the roots, the grass will die. |
Or you could apply something to kill the grass and cover it with pea gravel, crusher fines, peanut hulls, sawdust, shavings, or something that will keep it a "dry" lot. Make sure it gets great drainage. |
She's 24 years old. Why not cut back her grain or hay intake? Horses are meant and made to graze all day. |
Last fall I acquired 2 minis for a friend and put them in a small grassy paddock to keep them separated from the horses for a time. Within 2 weeks, the grass was gone and never came back. One horse on a 1/4 acre will keep the grass from ever having to be worried about. However, if your grass grows quicker then you like, put a second horse in there for a short time. |
xD I have a solution, why don't you just bring them to my house? We can't grow grass! |

The Shaka
Howzit brah?, hang loose, au-rite, cool, take care, goodbye, hello, 'til next time are some of the meanings of this totally Hawaiian gesture. Don't be offended if someone bro's down the shaka, you're being extended a little aloha (friendship) from da locals.
Malama i kekahi i kekahi: take care of one, take care of all.
Getting the "Y" right takes some practice. Since it's a very "in" thing to do, get it right before you land so you put it into action behind the wheel where you'll notice it used all the time. It's another form of thank you. Most Hawaiian drivers are extremely polite, never tailgate, timidly merge and hardly ever honk.
The orgins are many. Most credit a foreman of the Dole Pineapple Cannery who lost his three middle fingers on the job. After losing his job he became a security guard on the Sunset Beach, Oahu sugar train where the all-clear signal was communicated by a wave. Mr. Kalili's thumb/pinkie method is now universal - check out our Pres flashing the sign.

On the other hand, they got rid of that pain-in-the-ass AVCHD video format. Slashgear says the bigger Xacti, the VPC- SH1 has 1080p recording, a 35mm wide-angle lens, 30x optical zoom and takes 4 megapixel photos. The taller Xacti model, the VPC-CS1 also records 1080p, but only has 10x zoom and takes 3 megapixel stills. It is, however, only an inch thick. Both models have a zoom mic that hones in on the area you're zooming into, image stabilization, face tracking and SDXC compatibility.

After about a year of sticking with ratpoison, I grew tired of the lack of updates and tweaks for it. Sure I had 2 desktops with rpws, and all my keybindings set up but, I ran into the problem of having the same setup day after day. Soon I began looking at other window managers similar to ratpoison.
I found Stumpwm, and used it for a couple months, while learning lisp, and configured it the way I wanted it. A big issue I found with stump was that most of ratpoison's stability hadn't been carried over, and once in a while it would reset when trying to add new things. A big advantage was that it was realtime. I also grew tired of not having a statusbar so I added one, but, it wasn't what I hoped it would be.
Then I heard about AwesomeWM. I had heard about it previously on the archlinux forums, and decided to install it. The first thing I noticed was the menu, statusbar and floating layer by default. After themeing it, and setting up some tweaks in my rc.lua I was rolling. Probably the quickest setup of any of my WMs so far. One thing I have come to love is the different widgets, and workspace layouts. One such widget is called eminent this allows me to only show the workspaces I use, and dynamically close them once I am finished. By keeping different layouts in different workspaces, this has made me more organized. I have a workspace for internet browsing which is floating, a dl workspace for downloads which is max, a work workspace which is fullscreen so I don't get distracted, and a term workspace for all my terminal activity which is tiled for maximum efficiency. I have more workspaces but those are the application based ones that I actually use right now.
Another widget I love is an expose like view of all my windows so I can easily select one using the arrow keys called revelation.
Here is a screenshot of my desktop (workspace 1):
Currently I am also using linux-ck from the AUR with lots of patches my system has never been faster and more efficient than it is with AwesomeWM.

Network fixed + new hardware.
New network card, using the Ralink RT2870 driver (received from the AUR), and a new usb 2.0 pci adaptor from fry's electronics, fixed my network. It is now at 100%, don't know how I even managed with the other network card. Everything seems to be as it should, at the moment. New mouse + mousepad as well. Also, did some tmpfs modifications in /etc/fstab.
The wireless driver install for archlinux couldn't have been easier, didn't even use the driver cd. All I did was a lsusb to see what driver it used, then got the driver from the AUR, and added it to the MODULES section in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted.

Python3 trainwreck.
It seems that all my applications from the AUR need to be patched then reinstalled for them to work with python3. Unfortunately, bleachbit is a strictly python2 application. Meaning that even the py2to3.py script won't work. Everytime I want to run bleachbit, I have to cd to /usr/bin then, python2 bleachbit. This is not a problem, however, I will try to find a work around. For those of you who chuckled at the picture, shame on you.

Network once again crashes.
This is pretty much out of my control, it's a problem with the wireless card code base (802.11) calling a country and a datalink not responding. The only way to even see what happened is DMESG. Here's the part that shows the error.
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domainOnce I unplug and replug the adaptor and hit refresh in wicd, it can connect again. The funny thing is, I had the best 8 and a half hours of uninterrupted wireless use without any errors, last night. So this just seems random.

Steve Schirripa is an American actor most famous for his role as Bobby Baccalieri on the HBO TV series, The Sopranos.
More on Wikipedia…
(12 quotes found)
"[You just gotta get your kids to read] Nicky Deuce: Welcome to the Family, ... The Sopranos."
Steve Schirripa
"The book is set in 2005,"
"But it's really about the Bensonhurst I knew growing up in the '60s and '70s. The Bensonhurst where the little old Italian ladies went out with their cart and shopped at seven stores along Bath Ave."
"So I dipped into my childhood and came up with Nicky Deuce. I wanted him to get into a lot of mischief, like the time I taped a fork to a broom handle and cattle-rustled a steak off the barbecue of the next-door neighbor."
"The grandmother is the matriarch, and by the end she helps reunite the estranged family."
"There's already some movie interest, and this is the first of a series of books. In the next book, Nicky Deuce brings the Brooklyn gang to his New Jersey hometown and sets it on its ear."
"All I can tell ya is that Bobby is around pretty much and I'm still alive so far. There will be a few more funerals. That's all I can say."
"David is the show. There are other writers, but it's David's vision."
"We always have a big dinner."
"It's really sad because besides losing the money and having to find work again, you're also leaving the greatest working situation you're ever going to get."

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Not surprisingly, it also scored me as Emergent/Postmodern. Not sure how well I liked that; it did have to do a tie-breaker for me to make sure I wasn't Roman Catholic.
- Pastor Bob Cornwall said...
You know I found this quiz at News Muse, the Disciples World blog, and the person posting, probably Rebecca, scored Emergent as well. Maybe that says something about we Disciples. We're just an emergent kind of people! - 3:04 PM

Some of the questions just made me pick in the middle because they were misleading. Anyway it wasn't surprising. Here are my scores...
Emergent/Postmodern - 86%
Classical Liberal - 82%
Modern Liberal - 79%
Neo orthodox - 29%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan - 21%
Charismatic/Pentecostal - 21%
Reformed Evangelical - 18%
Roman Catholic - 14%
Fundamentalist - 0% - 3:25 PM

Just goes to show you how nebulous emergent/postmodern is. I too found it difficult to answer without picking the middle -- which this may suggest!!!
Interesting; I too scored Emergent/Postmodern. Now if I just had a clue as to what that means....

Husted says GOP Lawmakers Should Get Moving on Redistricting Reforms, Online Voter Registration
Jon Husted says voters are growing increasingly frustrated with the heavy overlay of politics on the state's congressional and legislative maps. And Husted says they – and he – may force a change if state lawmakers won't act.
Right now, the boundaries are drawn every 10 years by the political party that dominates state offices. Husted is backing a plan for a seven-member bipartisan commission – with requirements for supermajority votes and attempts to keep most counties in one political piece. The Ohio Senate has passed a resolution backing such a commission.
But Husted says the intention to do something is not enough.
"Action is necessary for people to take you seriously," Husted said. "And if they don't get something done soon, I foresee down the road a ballot initiative taking it out of the hands of the General Assembly. And I'm willing to be part of that if the General Assembly fails to act."
Meanwhile, Husted says online voting in Ohio won't happen anytime soon, in part because older voters don't trust it.
But he says online registration could be implemented immediately.
"We could flip the switch on that the minute it becomes law, but the General Assembly hasn't acted," he said. "It would save money, it would make voting more secure and more convenient. And there's no reason that the General Assembly should continue to work on things people don't want them to work on and leave things languishing that people do want them to work on."
Husted also told the Akron Press Club he differs with some GOP state lawmakers who want to require photo IDs for voters. He says current ID requirements are sufficient to fight voter fraud, which is rare.

Amazon, Inc. announced today the premiere date of "Alpha House," a new comedy that features former "All My Children" heartthrob Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos) as one of four United States senators-turned-unlikely-roommates renting a house in Washington, D.C. The series, which also stars John Goodman, Clark Johnson and Matt Malloy, will premiere on Friday, November 15 with the first three of its eleven episode first season being made available to all Amazon Prime Instant Video customers online and via Kindle Fire, iPad, iPhone, Roku, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii and Wii U, as well as other connected devises. In addition to announcing the premiere date for "Alpha House," Amazon also announced the launch date for its other new comedy, "Betas" - Friday, November 22, which follows four friends as they work to make it rich with a new mobile social networking application.
Amazon Picks Up Mark Consuelos and John Goodman Comedy 'Alpha House'
Sunday, May 26, 2013 2:39 AM EDT
In mid-April, Amazon Studios launched the 2013 "Watch the Shows. Call the Shots." campaign in which viewers get to decide which pilot got picked up to series based on feedback and total views. This method differs from the traditional method in which executives at television networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW, etc., order a project, decide which gets a pilot order, and then from the available crop decide which of those pilots gets picked up to series.

Some of the 20,000-plus documents and emails between the U.S. mission commander in Afghanistan and a Tampa socialite were "flirtatious," a senior defence official confirmed today, as the sex scandal that claimed the scalp of CIA Director David Petraeus seems certain to ensnare another acclaimed military figure.
Defence Secretary Leon Panetta revealed early Tuesday that Gen. John Allen was under investigation for his communications with Jill Kelley, the woman embroiled in the affair involving Petraeus and his mistress, Paula Broadwell.
The U.S. official said the FBI uncovered between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of communications – mostly emails spanning from 2010 to 2012 – between Allen and Kelley, who has been identified as a longtime friend of the Petraeus family and a Tampa, Florida, volunteer social liaison with military families at MacDill Air Force Base.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Gen. Allen was flirting with Kelley, or whether he was the recipient of flirtatious emails.
Allen succeeded Petraeus as the top American commander in Afghanistan in July 2011, and his nomination to become the next commander of U.S. European Command and the commander of NATO forces in Europe has now been put on hold.
In a White House statement early Tuesday, National Security spokesman Tommy Vietor said President Barack Obama has held Allen's nomination at Panetta's request. Obama, the statement said, "remains focused on fully supporting our extraordinary troops and coalition partners in Afghanistan, who Gen. Allen continues to lead as he has so ably done for over a year."
Another senior military official told the Washington Post that there were only a "few hundred" emails sent between Allen and Kelley and played down any possibility they were romantic in nature.
"Most of them were about routine stuff," the official, who is close to Allen, said. "Did he have an affair? No."
It was Kelley's complaints about harassing emails from the woman with whom Petraeus had had an affair, Paula Broadwell, that prompted an FBI investigation that ultimately disclosed Petraeus' involvement with Broadwell. Petraeus resigned from the CIA post on Friday.
Kelley, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the matter, has hired the same lawyer that defended former U.S. president Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the PR team that has represented big-name athletes in trouble with the law, such as Michael Vick and Kobe Byrant, as well as Lewinsky.
Kelley is married to Scott Kelley, a Tampa surgeon, and the couple has three children.
Allen has denied wrongdoing in the communications with Kelley. If Allen was found to have had an affair with Kelley, he could face charges of adultery, which is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Both Petraeus and Allen helped Kelley's "psychologically unstable" twin sister during her child custody battle, the New York Post reports, writing letters on her behalf.
The judge denied Kelley's sister, Natalie Khawam, custody of her son and called her a "psychologically unstable person" and found she lied under oath and filed fake domestic violence claims against her husband.
Asked whether there was concern about the disclosure of classified information in the communication between Kelley and Allen, a U.S. official said, on condition of anonymity: "We are concerned about inappropriate communications. We are not going to speculate as to what is contained in these documents."
Panetta told reporters flying with him to Australia that he had asked that Allen's nomination to be Commander of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe be delayed "and the president has agreed."
President Barack Obama has put the nomination on hold, the White House said on Tuesday.
Allen, who is now in Washington, was due to face a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, as was his successor in Afghanistan, General Joseph Dunford.
The FBI referred the case to the Pentagon on Sunday and Panetta directed the Defense Department's Inspector General to handle the investigation. Panetta informed the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee during the flight to Australia. The House Armed Services Committee was also notified.
The U.S. defense official said that Allen denied wrongdoing and that Panetta had opted to keep him in his job while the matter was under review – and until Dunford can be confirmed to replace him, a process that gains urgency given the cloud the scandal could cast over the mission in Afghanistan.
"While the matter is under investigation and before the facts are determined, General Allen will remain commander of ISAF," Panetta said, referring to the NATO—led force in Afghanistan.
On Monday evening, FBI agents searched Broadwell's North Carolina home , signalling renewed activity in the investigation that revealed her extramarital affair with Petraeus
FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch declined to say what the agents were doing there.
The agents appeared at Broadwell's home carrying the kinds of cardboard boxes often used for evidence gathering during a search. They walked through the open garage of Broadwell's house and knocked at a side door before entering the home. One person was taking photographs of the house and its garage as members of the news media watched.

Now that AMD and Intel both have six-core desktop CPUs, what will become of still-fast quad-core CPUs? For guidance, we turn to the recent crop of $1,000-to-$2,000 performance desktops.
We've compared five systems in recent desktop reviews, each with either a quad-core or a six-core CPU. The full list is as follows, with links to each respective reviews:
Dell Studio XPS SX8100-1986NBC ($1,149): 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 860, ATI Radeon HD 5770Gateway FX6831-01 ($1,299); 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 860, ATI RAdeon HD 5850HP Pavilion Elite 190T ($2,105): 3.36GHz Intel Core i7 980X Extreme, ATI Radeon HD 5770Maingear Vybe ($1,299): 3.2GHz AMD Phenom II X6 (w/overclocked TurboCore), ATI Radeon HD 5830Velocity Micro Edge Z30 ($1,349): 3.2GHz (overclocked) Core i7 860; Nvidia GeForce GTX 860
We included the Velocity Micro from last September, as it was the fastest midrange PC we'd seen until the past few months. And though the HP crosses the $2,000 mark, that's largely because of its optional home entertainment features. The base $1,899 unit still gets you the same core performance, including Intel's top-of-the-line Core i7 980X Extreme chip, a six-core behemoth, and currently the fastest desktop chip available.
We were surprised to find HP offering that $1,000-plus chip at a relatively reasonable price-point, yet the Pavilion Elite 190T actually didn't run away with the performance crown. It was the fastest system on our application tests, but thanks to its slower graphics card, both the Gateway and the Maingear systems posted better gaming scores. We suspect the Maingear, in fact, benefited from its six-core AMD CPU, which helped it hit 77 frames per second on our high-resolution Far Cry 2 test--the highest overall, at least on that benchmark.
The problem for the six-core systems is they aren't very well balanced. The Maingear did well as a gaming system, but came in near the bottom of the group on general application tests. The situation was almost reversed for the HP. Whereas it lead on our application tests, it came in second-to-last (behind the Dell) on gaming. Instead, it took the Gateway FX6831-01, a quad-core system with a fast 3D card, to provide the most balanced computing experience of this group. Even if the gaudy case could be polarizing, its strong showing on both our gaming and application tests make it the best overall value.
Of course, configurability makes this roundup less than definitive, and both Maingear and Velocity Micro offer a variety of options for their respective desktops that could improve performance, while keeping within our $1,000-to-$2,000 (or so) price band. But from what we've seen in this recent batch of systems, though six-core CPUs offer measurable performance benefits, you shouldn't rule out buying or building a quad-core system with a fast 3D card if you're looking for speed on games and productivity apps at a fair price.

I have recommended David to a few people with varied concerns. I enlisted his help 2008-2009 regarding a personal matter. He investigated and gave me a number of viable options from which to choose. He was very informative and responded whenever I contacted him or there was updated information that I needed.I would not hesitate to recommend or employ his services in the future.
... and he has a very nice, genuine smile.

We have engaged David Ferlerger to assist us with a complex educational case on behalf of our son. He elicits trust by preparing us about we can expect, by communicating consistently and clearly with us, and by assuming responsibility. I can recommend him highly.

THERE ARE WOMEN WHO DON'T KNOW OF JIMMY ANDERSON?!?!?!? *dies*
I don't know which category I fall into...definitely not WWTCILB, but if you asked me to choose between cricket and chocolate, I'd have to ask who's playing before making a decision. Can't I have the Ferrero Rocher and eat it at the match?I'm a WWLC....but...in all honesty...i don't know much about the technique.. So perhaps there ought to be a category for the girls in the middle...i mean i definitely know the difference between cricket and baseball ... :) ...and my love for the game does' not stem from having a dad, bro or b'friend who loves the game !
Thanks hon, and I'm glad to be back!
Don't make that a cause to die, cos you'll have to die over and over again.
And I do think you are in fact a WWLC so let us call wanting both the ticket and the Ferrero Rocher is a moment of weakness. Do not let it happen again, you can't have your Ferrero Rocher and eat it too!
There's no in-between. Either you're with us or against us. Which is it?

I am like that too normally. Do I feel good listening to this, or don't I?
Well, today was the day that they seemed to take another step forward. I had some songs on in the background, and all of a sudden I was drawn to the ride cymbals....they were sublime*. With most headphones you hear the ride cymbal that can sound like it is overlaid with white noise, but today they seemed to shimmer with a bell-like clarity that defied comprehension*. I couldn't believe there was such a change and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't just hearing things, so I played the same tracks on one of my brand new sets. Sure enough, the old set was much more clear and resolving from top to bottom than the new ones, and it sounded like there was a hashy sound to the cymbals in the same passages. Bass was MIA in comparison, too.
I do agree that early on (under 50-60 hours?) they sound very good but not great, but once you reach that certain point, you will know it. I now know that I've hit that point. And that was from a measly Fiio E1 hanging off a 4th gen iPod Touch....nowhere near the home rig. And I was happy living with that.
Young Feller, you just earned your first HYPE STRYPE and promotion to Lance Corporal!
