Metallica,'Death Magnetic', Guitar Hero and the loudness debate
Metallica are an American heavy metal band that formed in 1981 in Los Angeles. They are arguably the biggest rock acts of all time and have an army of devoted followers.
'Death Magnetic' Metallica's latest album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 490,000 copies in just three days of availability. It is the band's fifth consecutive studio album to debut at number one, making Metallica the first and only band with the most consecutive studio releases to open at number one. The album also had the highest first week sales of any Metallica album since 1996's Load.
However this release has been the subject of great debate amongst the fans regarding its production, sound quality and more specifically the mastering process. The debate even has even gone as far as coverage on BBC Radio 6, The Guardian and leading Rolling Stone to cite a petition from fans to remix or remaster the album!
Death Magnetic is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on September 12, 2008 by Warner Bros. Records. It is the band's first studio album to feature current bassist Robert Trujillo, as well as the first to be produced by Rick Rubin. Death Magnetic is also the band's first studio album released through Warner Bros., although they still remain with Warner Music Group, which also owns Elektra Records, their previous label (internationally they remain on Vertigo Records). The album is the band's fifth consecutive studio album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States, making Metallica the first band ever to achieve five consecutive number one debut
The album has been criticized for having compromised sound quality and being compressed "past the point of distortion". Sean Michaels of The Guardian explains that "the sound issues are a result of the "loudness war" - an ongoing industry effort to make recordings as loud as possible".
Comparison of the CD and Guitar Hero versions. Is the CD modern and loud or digital compressed noise??
A Rolling Stone article states that Rick Rubin was "overseeing mixes in Los Angeles while the band is in Europe, headlining shows" and only communicated with him by conference calls.Fans have noted that these sonic problems are not present in the Guitar Hero version of the album, where the tracks are present separately because of the game mechanics. MusicRadar and Rolling Stone attribute a quote to the album's mastering engineer Ted Jensen in which he claims that "mixes were already brick-walled before they arrived" for mastering and cite a petition from fans to remix or remaster the album.
Metallica and Rick Rubin initially declined to comment on the issue, while the band's co-manager Cliff Burnstein stated that complainers were in a minority and that response to the album had otherwise been "overwhelmingly positive".Lars Ulrich later confirmed in an interview with Blender, that some creative control regarding the album's production had indeed been transferred to Rubin but also stressed his satisfaction with the final product.
Analysis of the levels in the tracks shows it is VERY loud. Great-sounding albums typically average an RMS loudness of -16 to -12 dBFS, however i recent years louder albums have pushed much higher, for example -8 or -6 dBFS.
CD manufacturers seemingly are distorting sounds to make them seem louder. Sound quality clearly suffers.
The video was made with image editing software and a screen capture program for the visuals, and a DAW (Digital Performer 4.5) to process the audio.

OXFORD, Miss. – Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy has earned a raise and an extension to his contract after leading the Rebels to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002.

Human Dimensions
The human dimensions of biological resource management are the factors that help decide which resources are valued most by people. By understanding human values and desires, managers can better understand how to work to conserve and protect these resources.
The field of human dimensions utilizes social science to understand how people value natural resources, the benefits they seek and derive from resources, and how they affect or are affected by resource management decisions.
Resources can be valued for ecological, health and safety, recreational, economic, and/or aesthetic/emotional reasons. Culture, personal experience, socio-economics and politics often affect the way that resources are valued by individuals in a specific context.
These human dimensions— based on people's values and desires— help managers describe, predict, affect,
and learn from stakeholder thought and action toward biological resources and their management in parks, thereby improving the sustainability, durability, and acceptability of biological resource management decisions.

Sapphire HD 4770 Review
Enter the Sapphire HD 4770, ATI's first video card equipped with a GPU manufactured using a 40 nanometer manufacturing process. In the current economic situation, people just dont have the disposable income they had even last year and are more frugal when it comes time to spend those hard earned dollars. The HD 4770, priced at $99, give or take a few dollars, is a card that looks to fill the performance void at the $100 price point. The card contains 826 million transistors, 640 shader processing cores, and 512MB of GDDR5 running through a 128-bit bus, to bring the crucial memory bandwidth back up to a respectable level. Clock speeds come in at 750MHz on the R740 core and 800MHz on the memory. So just where will the HD 4770 fall on the performance ladder when compared with cards priced just a bit higher? Will this force the competition into further price drops to compete for this price/performance point? Let's see just what the HD 4770 has to offer for your money.
Closer Look:
The graphic detail used by Sapphire on the packaging is always well done and this box is no different, with the latest version of Ruby prominently featured on the front panel. The front panel carries the product designation (HD 4770), as well as some of the capabilities of the video card, such as Crossfire X capabilities, the use of 512 MB of GDDR5 memory, HDMI with 7.1 sound, the 40nm process, and game physic processing abilities. The slogan "Driven by Performance Fueled by Fantasy" is dead center of the front panel and the message is repeated on the back panel. The back panel also contains descriptions of the technologies listed on the front, while bringing more information about UVD 2.0, Crossfire X ,Microsoft DX 10.1, and more.
Inside the outer shell is the box that contains the HD 4770. The 4770 is packaged in an anti-static bubble wrap style bag, locked into the box tightly on all four sides to prevent damage in transit. The manual and included software from Power DVD sit on top of the card, while the hard parts such as the crossfire bridge, power connection and adapters for the DVI connections are hidden below.
The bundled accessories included with the Sapphire HD 4770 are the manual, two software titles from Cyberlink, a DVI to D-sub adapter, a DVI to HDMI adapter, a Crossfire bridge connection, a HDTV to Composite dongle,and a 4-pin to 6-pin power adapter. The included accessories should be enough to get you connected to the display of your choosing, while the software brings along added functionality.

Monitoring the indicators for Cadence Design Sys (CDNS), we have noticed that the Plus Directional Indicator is currently higher than the Minus Directional Indicator. With the +DI above the -DI, traders may be watching for a possible bullish move.
The stock investing process may seem intimidating to those just starting out. New investors may have a lot to learn, and they may be wondering where to start. Because there are so many different stock picking strategies, it can be hard to find one specific one to latch on to. Keeping things simple might be a good way to approach the market for beginners. The day to day market happenings can get overwhelming not only for amateurs but professional investors as well. Finding that first little advantage can make all the difference when picking stocks. Many new investors may have the tendency to make too many trades at first without doing the proper research. Easing in to the process may give some much needed perspective for attaining long-term success in the stock market.
A widely used tool among technical stock analysts is the moving average. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a certain period of time. Moving averages can be very helpful for spotting peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader figure out reliable support and resistance levels for the stock. Currently, the 200-day MA is sitting at 42.41.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Cadence Design Sys (CDNS) is sitting at 28.35. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
Investors and traders using technical analysis to examine stocks may be interested in taking a look at the ATR or Average True Range. Currently, Cadence Design Sys (CDNS) has a 14-day ATR of 1.24. The Average True Range is an investor tool used to measure stock volatility. The ATR is not used to figure out price direction, just to measure volatility. The ATR is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder has developed multiple indicators that are still quite popular in today's investing landscape. The general interpretation of the ATR is the higher the ATR value, the higher the volatility.
Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 59.84, the 7-day stands at 65.47, and the 3-day is sitting at 71.07. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of stock price movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it oscillates between 0 and 100. Generally, the RSI is considered to be oversold when it falls below 30 and overbought when it heads above 70. RSI can be used to detect general trends as well as finding divergences and failure swings.
Traders may be focusing on other technical indicators for stock assessment. Presently, Cadence Design Sys (CDNS) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 89.15. The CCI technical indicator can be used to help determine if a stock is overbought or oversold. CCI may also be used to help discover divergences that could possibly signal reversal moves. A CCI closer to +100 may provide an overbought signal, and a CCI near -100 may offer an oversold signal.
Many investors get into the stock market with unrealistic expectations. For whatever reason, they may have the mindset that snatching profits is easy. Thinking that profits can be doubled or tripled right away may lead the investor down the road of no return. Although the lucky few might hit some big winners right off the bat, these chances are quite low. Stocks tend to be volatile in the short-term. Unless investors have a game plan ready to capitalize on short-term movements, they may want to take a wider, longer-term approach. Trying to figure out which way the market will turn from one day to the next can be a highly frustrating procedure. Having the patience to thoroughly examine every trade can immensely boost the investor's chances of surviving and thriving into the future.

More concrete, Metanet offers up Skool Daze and Rampage (to name a few) as the original inspirations for Yeti. As for the setting, the team admits that working in office buildings, they began to "fantasize about various ways that havoc could be wreaked upon an office environment." The game's art style will take a page from airplane safety cards and other informational graphics, and the team is hoping to employ long-time indie game artist Edmund McMillen.
Though Metanet has yet to release Robotology, its apparently at the point "where getting the game done was more a matter of 'when' rather than 'if'; the hardest problems [have] been solved." Robotology is coyly described on Metanet's blog as "a 2d physics-based platformer where the player has a grappling hook/rope that can be used to interact with the world." No platform announcements have been made for Office Yeti or Robotology.
Robotology Morph Test from Metanet Software on Vimeo.
Tyler says: With an almost reality-show-like development blog on Robotology, and details about Office Yeti in the wild, I'm getting real excited about Metanet's future. For one, though it was a great game, N+ had no humor or character to speak of, but Office Yeti seems ripe for comedy. The team seems like they understand comic wit. Office Yeti in their own words: "The important point is that you're a tiny little character in a tiny little simulated office building full of even tinier characters and objects, all of which are going about their business more or less oblivious to the fact that you are, to put it bluntly, non-human. Just like in an office in real life!"

Highlights: Whitecaps FC 2 - 1 Columbus Crew
VANCOUVER, BC - A first half strike from Daigo Kobayashi and a second half tally from Kenny Miller gave Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2W-0L-0D) a 2-1 victory over Columbus Crew (1W-1L-0D) in a highly entertaining match at BC Place on Saturday.
With the roof open on a beautiful day, an energetic crowd of 18,078 fans were treated to a gripping match that included endless action at both ends of the pitch.
Martin Rennie kept with the same lineup that played the second half of the opening match against Toronto FC. In a 4-3-3 formation, newcomers Brad Rusin and Nigel Reo-Coker both made their first starts for the Blue and White, stepping in for Jay DeMerit and Kekuta Manneh respectively.
Right from the beginning of the match, the energy appeared to be in Vancouver's favour, as they controlled the play from the get-go.
On six minutes, Budweiser Man of the Match Kobayashi hit a beautiful shot from 30 yards out that will no doubt be a nominee for Major League Soccer (MLS) Goal of the Week, finding the back of the net for his first MLS goal as a member of Whitecaps FC.
The next 20 minutes of the match saw both sides produce several chances. At the 10-minute mark, Dominic Oduro had an opportunity to equalize for the Crew, but his effort from 10 yards out went well high. On 19 minutes, Reo-Coker set up Miller but the Scottish international was held back by Columbus Crew defender Gláuber, who received a yellow card for the play.
The 'Caps almost went up 2-0 on 38 minutes when Darren Mattocks won a race to the ball and sent a low cross into the box, with Miller being the intended target. Unfortunately, Miller was unable to get his foot on the ball to convert the opportunity.
A minute later, Alain Rochat broke down the left on a beautiful pass from Kobayashi and laid the ball off for Miller whose first-time shot was well saved by Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum before the rebound fell to the feet of Reo-Coker. Unfortunately for the home side, the Englishman sailed his shot over the crossbar.
Vancouver continued to attack at a furious pace. On 43 minutes, a cross from Young-Pyo Lee landed at the feet of Miller, but his close-range shot was blocked. Less than a minute after that, Brad Rusin headed a Kobayashi header towards goal only to see it rebound off the post as the 'Caps went into halftime leading 1-0.
It took only moments after the break for Columbus to turn the tables. Just a minute into the second half, Crew striker Jairo Arrieta stunned the home fans when he put the ball into the net after receiving the ball from midfielder Ben Speas to equalize the match 1-1.
The teams didn't stay on level terms for long. On 57 minutes, Miller brought the crowd back to life. After Gruenebaum passed the ball to Gláuber, the Scotsman quickly stole the ball and put it home to give the Blue and White a 2-1 advantage. The goal injected the 'Caps and their fans with the energy they had in the first half and set the foundation for the remainder of the match.
The 'Caps continued their attacking momentum on 76 minutes when rookie Erik Hurtado replaced Kobayashi and made an immediate impact on the match. Four minutes after the substitution, Miller was sprung in alone against Gruenebaum. Miller then played an unselfish ball to Hurtado who tapped the ball into the back of the net, but the goal was quickly called off by the assistant referee, as the rookie was deemed to be offside.
With the match in stoppage time, Crew substitute Ryan Finley made a run into the box and fell to the ground, however referee Drew Fischer promptly refuted any calls for a penalty.
The visitors' remaining attempts were held off as the final whistle blew to signal a second straight victory for Whitecaps FC to start the 2013 MLS season.
After the match, Rennie was pleased with his team's performance.
Vancouver now head into a bye week, returning to MLS regular season play with their first road match of the season on Saturday, March 23 against Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a magnet program/school?
A magnet program/school opens doors of opportunity and sparks the imagination of students preparing them to become responsible citizens in a global society. Although all students receive quality instruction based on SC State Standards, magnet programs/schools use innovative approaches to learning that engage students and promote their interests and abilities. Each magnet program/school emphasizes a particular theme such as Visual and Performing Arts, Science & Technology, Early College, STEM/Pre-Engineering, and International Baccalaureate. There are currently 7 magnet campuses, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools.
2. How do I decide which magnet program is better for my child?
Each year in September, parents and other interested community members are invited to attend our Magnet Fair to learn more about the programs our magnet schools have to offer. DCSD also encourages parents to visit each magnet school, meet the principal, and talk with the staff members to gain more information about the unique magnet programs DCSD has to offer. Parents can contact each school to schedule an appointment or stop by during a school's open house. Parents may also visit the magnet programs/schools homepage where there are links to each schools' website and video.
3. Who is eligible to apply for magnet programs/schools in DCSD?
In order to apply for a magnet program/school, the child must be a resident of Darlington County. If you live out of county or out of state, you may still apply but at the start of school, you will need to show proof of residency as a Darlington County resident.
4. How does the magnet program/school application process work?
The process begins by completing an online application for the magnet program/school you desire to attend. The online application window will be open for 3 weeks. The link may be found on the district home page or directly on the magnet program/school web page. You may access the timeline for phase 1 and 2 here.
5. May I apply to more than one magnet program/school?
Yes, the online application will allow you to apply to more than one school. But, you may only apply to multiple schools within that particular grade band, i.e. 2 elementary or 3 high schools. A separate application must be completed for more than one child.
6. How are the students selected to attend a magnet program/school?
Student applications are evaluated by each school's magnet committee. Once the initial eligibility is determined, all eligible applicants will either be entered into the lottery/drawing OR must audition/interview for final acceptance.
7. Is transportation provided?
Yes, ONLY for students who would be zoned for that particular magnet school. The elementary magnet programs/school will transport elementary students to and from their home/zoned school. However, there is no transportation shuttle bus for Middle and high schoo programs.
8. Do I have to apply every year?
No, once accepted to a magnet program/school, a student can attend through the last grade at that particular school.
9. Does a student's younger sibling have to apply to attend the same magnet school?
Yes, an application needs to be completed and evaluated for the younger sibling. If the sibling is eligible, the "sibling procedure" will go in effect where they will not have to go through the lottery process for final eligibility.
10. If I have a parent employed at the magnet program/school, will I be a part of the lottery or total numbers for final eligibility?
No, if your parent is and will be employed FULL-TIME at the magnet school you are applying to, you will NOT be included in the lottery nor included in the total allotted numbers for that school. You MUST be eligible in order to be accepted under the "employee's child" procedure.

I was born David A. Hoover on January 10, 1960 in Bowling Green, Ohio. However, I legally changed my name to David Ben-Ariel (with the help of my Jewish lawyer) during the Spring of 1989. It cost me $300.00.
It also required that I take out a small ad in a newspaper announcing my intentions 30 days beforehand. I placed my ad in the Bowling Green Sentinel.
I also had to appear before a judge (it depends on what county you were born) for him to privately question my motivations. Continue reading "God Given Names"
Israel's Unjust Deportation of David Ben-Ariel
November 9, 2009
As a Christian-American member of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement, I had been privileged to participate in their legal demonstrations during my 10-month stay in Jerusalem awaiting dual citizenship. Israeli television often showed me with my Jewish friends carrying Israeli flags throughout the Old City. Continue reading "Israel's Unjust Deportation of David Ben-Ariel"

Obesity and its related illnesses can be combated by good nutrition and physical activity. Joining with friends and family makes it fun.
The University of Houston's "BOUNCE" program is planning a 5K Fun Run/Walk at 9 a.m., Saturday, April 21 at the UH Lynn Eusan Park. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. The event is open to all ages. Donations are accepted. Funds will benefit "BOUNCE Healthy Lifestyle Programs" designed to promote healthy eating, exercise and positive body image in Hispanic and African American youth.
"BOUNCE" is Behavior Opportunities Uniting Nutrition Counseling and Exercise, and includes a summer camp for minority middle school girls, which focuses on nutrition, exercise, body image and self esteem. The program, which began in 2005, was recognized by the Public Health Association as one of the best and innovative nutrition and physical activity programs in the state.
"Our nutrition and physical activity interventions go beyond the standard," "said Norma Olvera, associate professor and director of "BOUNCE." We foster the relationship between mothers and daughters, keep in mind the cultural perceptions of food, exercise and body image and make it fun to be healthy."
The event is sponsored by UnitedHealthcare Heroes, Youth Service America, Community Health Choice, KOALA Health and Wellness Centers, Guanajuato Supermarket, Pulso 90, Hispanic Health Coalition, the UH Texas Learning and Computation Center, and the UH College of Education.
"UnitedHealthcare was pleased to award the University of Houston a $1,000 UnitedHealth HEROES grant for its BOUNCE program," said David Milich, CEO of UnitedHealthcare of South Texas. "The grant was awarded to BOUNCE because its organizers clearly understand the health risks associated with childhood obesity and have developed creative solutions to fight obesity in neighborhoods and communities."

I hung up my book bag," she wrote in a letter on the Politics and Prose Web site. Since selling the store with Carla Cohen's husband, David, a year and a half ago, she had been active in helping new owners Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine make the transition. "I'm tempering my sadness in leaving with my complete confidence that Brad and Lissa will sustain and grow P&P's stature as an important literary and cultural center in today's world," she concluded.

7th annual Eric Medlen Nitro Night Charity Dinner, July 25
Sonoma Raceway will honor the memory of the late Eric Medlen during the 7th annual Eric Medlen Nitro Night Charity Dinner at nearby Stone Tree Golf Club on Thursday, July 25. The gala is presented by Raymond Costa/McDonald's.
Medlen, a native of Oakdale in the San Joaquin Valley, won the Funny Car championship in Sonoma, his home track, in 2006. He succumbed in March, 2007, to injuries sustained from a testing accident. Medlen was a member of John Force Racing.
A variety of popular NHRA personalities will highlight the evening, including Ashley Force-Hood, Funny Car drivers Jack Beckman (Valvoline Dodge), Ron Capps (Napa Auto Parts Dodge Charger), Courtney Force (Traxxas Ford Mustang) and Josh Crawford (Pacific Truck Repair Dodge Charger), plus Top Fuel drivers Brittany Force, (Castrol Edge dragster), Morgan Lucas (GEICO Powersports/Lucas Oil dragster) and Brandon Bernstein (Protect the Harvest/MavTV dragster). The evening will be hosted by ESPN NHRA commentator Dave Rieff.
The racers will compete in a Texas Hold 'Em Charity Poker Tournament starting at 6 p.m. The tournament will be followed by a delicious prime rib dinner. Rieff, the long-time host for ESPN's NHRA coverage, will serve as the master of ceremonies for the evening and will host a Q&A session with the drivers. There will also be a charity drawing.
The event will again be hosted at Stone Tree Golf Club, which is less than five miles from the raceway in Novato, providing easy access for fans and race teams.
Tickets for the evening are $125, and include wine/beer and dinner. All proceeds will go to qualified youth groups in Sonoma County in Medlen's name through Speedway Children's Charities, the charitable arm of the raceway.
The event, which has been sold-out each of the last six years, typically boasts a healthy contingent from Eric's hometown of Oakdale, including his mother, Mimi, and his father, John.
Nitro Night also serves as a kick-off to the NHRA Sonoma Nationals, July 26-28. This year's event marks the series' 26th annual visit to the Sonoma Valley and will feature professional competition in the Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle classes.
For for tickets to the Eric Medlen Nitro Night Dinner, contact Melinda Pahl at 707-933-3950 or email email@example.com.

CHICAGO (AP) - Members of Illinois' largest state employee union and Gov. Pat Quinn's administration have reached a tentative contract agreement.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said Thursday that a deal was reached after midnight. Quinn's office confirmed the agreement.
Details of the three-year contract weren't made public. AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall says members must review and ratify the agreement before it's made public.
State employees had been working without a contract since November. The union has about 35,000 employees.
Negotiations between AFSCME and Quinn's office have been contentious and union members had started preparing for a strike.
The negotiations came as Quinn has been locked in several battles with AFSCME. The union opposes efforts to reduce their retirement benefits, which have been a central issue on pension talks.

Nearly a half-million Americans have a painful decision to make by Aug. 31 — admit to the IRS that they've been hiding secret offshore bank accounts, or take their chances that the government won't find out and possibly send them to jail.
For many, it's not an easy choice. To take advantage of the amnesty program – the second one it has offered, though the IRS says it will be the last -- the U . S . government is asking account holders to pay a steep penalty: 25 percent of the highest value of the account in recent years.
The U.S. government has prosecuted dozens of clients of secret Swiss and other offshore banks since its investigation began in 2009 . B ut recently the government opened a second front in its war on global bank secrecy by filing a so-called "John Doe summons" against HSBC. The summons demands the names of U.S. residents who may have been avoiding taxes with undisclosed accounts at HSBC in India.
A U.S. taxpayer who has an interest in, or signature or other authority over, a financial account in a foreign country with assets in excess of $10,000 is required to disclose the existence of the account on his or her individual income tax return. A U.S. taxpayer must also disclose the existence of the account by filing an FBAR with the U.S. Treasury.
With an estimated 500,000 U.S. residents out there failing to disclose offshore accounts and the government turning up the heat, chances are that many will eventually be identified and prosecuted.
So, who are the offshore account holders that have already been caught and how did they operate their tax haven accounts? Click ahead for the details.

In Depth Look At The Bass Station II
In Depth Look At The Bass Station II
We've seen a bit of what the new Bass Station II can do at MusikMesse but Sonicstate have gone even deeper, speaking to Nick Bookman from Novation and testing the synth in a more controlled environment.
A seriously comprehensive overview of the BSII and actually serves as a nice primer to some of the basics of analogue synthesis. Very handy, whether you're a beginner who just wants to hear a bit of raw sawtooth or a pro who wants to hear more about the Diode Ladder Filter and what kind of oscillator sync is available.
Indeed looking at and listening to the extensive features on the BSII we can see it's not merely a great synth for epic bass lines. The oscillators cover a range from bass, through leads and up to high pitch FX and the Filter Mod function can deliver complex FM tones. Of course if things need to get down and dirty then a Sub Oscillator, Acid Filter, Step Sequencer and Distortion mean you can cover everything including sequenced 303 burbling, deep clean sub and modern dubby distorted "trouser flapping" sounds.
Not really a fair comparison but just to show how many great features you're getting on the Bass Station II we've compared it to the original Bass Station.

Myles heads home to QLD with Titans
Myles heads home to QLD with Titans
The Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have landed another coup with Queensland State of Origin forward Nate Myles today signing a four-year deal with the club.
Myles will join the Titans from next season until the end of 2015 after being granted a release from his existing contract with the Sydney Roosters for next season.
North Queensland-born Myles joins Cronulla forward Luke Douglas as new additions to the club's forward pack for next season alongside existing representative players Ashley Harrison (QLD), Greg Bird (NSW) and former NSW and Australian prop Luke Bailey.
Myles, 25, said he was pleased to be returning to Queensland after seven seasons in Sydney with the Roosters (2007-11) and Bulldogs (2005-06) in which he has notched 120 NRL games as well as 14 games for Queensland and 3 Tests for Australia.
