Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
So I bought a tablet a few weeks ago because a buddy needed some drawings. It sounded like a fun project and it had been a long time since I tried any drawing (maybe 4 years ago in art school). Coincidentally, the bar down the street was hosting an open life drawing event...a drink and draw with a burlesque troupe. Sounded like fun...
Having absolutely no freaking idea what I was doing I looked online for some info about digital painting. I ran across CA and totally fell in love with this. So, here I am at the very very beginning of my digital painting/drawing experience, hope to find some advice, some inspiration, and some motivation to keep drawing.
Without further adieu here's a WIP from yesterday and some sketches from that life drawing thing:

Remember this was a drink and draw. I "won" a shot of booze for the one with the bull's head. So I was a little tipsy, also they were throwing out themes like "best drawing with a unicorn". None of these are longer than 5 minute drawings.
Here's some stuff from a while ago just for fun before bed. Never really did anything with this but now someone gets to see it. Woot!
Man, looks like you learn quick, that initial WIP is a great go for a first on the tablet! Looks like you have a healthy dose of artistic talent and imagination (sober pieces pending ) Looking forward to future posts.
Reggienoble2: Thanks so much for being the first to comment on my stuff! I'm looking forward to getting torn to shreds in the future. Not sure if I said it before but your paintings were really great, dude. That WIP was not exactly the first I did with my tablet. The sketches below it were done a week or so earlier in PainterEssentials or whatever it is called...came bundled with the wacom. Also I've been working on some stuff for a friend of mine, which brings me to this post...
OK. This is where I really need help, I know these will show my inexperience. I'm supposed to be doing set concepts for a screenplay. However, the producer and writer are asking for these images in a way that makes them more of a glorified storyboard. Also they want this cartoony version of reality that makes me feel like I'm illustrating a children's book. So, the sets aren't cool. The compositions are stymied because I'm trying to accomplish too many goals. Colors, per direction, are to be saturated but the world is sorta bland. But enough bitching...this is what I've got. I'm including my pallet, a sample of a workflow idea (using sketchup to photoshop for perspective mostly), and some paintings needing critique.
Any advice about my brush use, drawing skills, approach, whatever, would be valuable. Thanks.
Thanks for the comments on my sketchbook. I think your start of a sketchbook is really great. It's clear you are talented and I think that if you practice a lot you can improve quickly.
I really like the concepts for the screenplay and I'm not sure if I am in the place of giving advices but I think it will be a good idea to move the character from the right in the line of view. It doesn't seem to fit in the scene so far away.
And no, Ahoj has nothing to do with romanian language .
Thanks Elena! Ahoj being fairly slavic...I know. Anyway, your probably right about the figure on the right. I'll have to think about what to do. The bottom image went over pretty well in a meeting today. I convinced everyone to let me drop the human figures altogether and focus on the environment. Thats what I'm supposed to be doing anyway.
silent K thanks a bunch dood for the comment! Interesting that you've been away from the art thing for so long, what were you up to in the dark times, hehe? I'm glad that you're back and swinging digitally!! Man that portrait in the first post is money brah!
Drink and draw rules, love the cheap pabst, naked bodies, sketchbook and good fun! They have one in brooklyn been to once pretty fun. Wow i never realized they have Dr Sketchy's also out in Michigan, they just opened one in Manhattan but only been to the one in brooklyn. It's great to see you getting out there and about, haha luv'd the drunken gestures, great stuff keep it up dood!

Snootchy: Yeah, it was the first Dr. Sketchies here. I heard a rumor that it was going on in NY. Totally fun...although my wife got a tip off that I was at some "weird a$$ crazy nudey bar thing down the street" which pretty much got me in trouble. As for "the dark times" sheeit, trying to get a job mostly... I gave up. This is Michigan. I started a coffee shop. Takes a lot of my time.
However, I'll toss up some college photos for perspective, I was doing art, just not drawing so much. I got my BFA in woodworking/functional art. Been trying to find outlets ever since. Seem to have bumbled into a wierd mishmash of freelance set design and interior design these days. Currently I'm very very happy to have meandered back to drawing and to have found this community. Everyone here is inspiring. Very much looking forward to participating.

What... we're not allowed to talk behind NY's back? That's right NY, peeps be talkin'.
Here's a speedy. Idea for a retail space connected to a project my wife is working on. Trying to loosen up, try different brushes, and loose the flatness of my previous paints. I know its a little overkill on the comb brush but I like how it let me think in volume instead of line.
lol, no the rumor that your wife thought you were at some crazy nudee underground thing, hope she understood, hahaha! dun worry i dun take pride in any where i stay in, respect all hoods!!
cool speedy, and i like that your venturing into using texture but i don't think having texture spread throughout the canvas helps to lead the viewer's eye; it makes the image a bit noisy, and helps to have it focused on the subject or where you want the viewer to look, also if you do use the rake or a texture brush it also helps to go back in and paint forms out or on top but it's great to see you experiment and i see good things to come!!

Responding to North Korea
North Korea and Iran pose serious nuclear and missile proliferation concerns for the United States and other nations and will be major considerations in the U.S ballistic missile defense review, Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "The risks and dangers from missile proliferation are growing problems," Lynn said. "The president has made clear that we will move forward with missile defenses. They're affordable, proven and responsive to the threat." Lynn joined other defense leaders in describing the ballistic missile threat and reviews of missile defense policy and planning under way to address current as well as long-term security challenges.

Pelosi Quiets
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she won't talk any more about her charge that the CIA lied about using waterboarding on terrorism suspects. She said in her own words she's said all she's going to say about it. But some Republicans aren't are not letting it go. Some members want an investigation her accusation that the CIA misled Congress. Earlier this month, Pelosi told reporters that she had not been told that waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects, even though it had been. When asked whether she was accusing the CIA of lying to her, she said "yes."

Fly Awake
A new Web-based program is helping military pilots and aircrews fight fatigue. Research has shown that as fatigue goes up, cognitive effectiveness goes down, and the risk of an accident increases exponentially. "We want to stop that before it even gets to the pilots," said a military spokesperson. The Fly Awake or Work Awake program allows flyers and their schedulers to add crew members to flight and schedule rest times based needs of the mission and the crew to avoid fatigue and accidents.

Gitmo Inmates
The questions about what to do with Gitmo inmates continue. The Senate voted overwhelmingly to block transfer of any of the 240 inmates to the U.S., and refused to pay the $80 million it would cost the Pentagon and Justice Department to close the facility. The administration wants to shut it down, but FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress that bringing the detainees to the U.S. could pose risks, including the possibility they might radicalize other inmates.

Step 1: Get Materials
A Garbage bag or plastic bag (for the parachute)
Duct tape
Cardboard or foam core
A Tennis ball
Dental floss or string
Step 2: Cut the bottles
One bottle you're not going to anything to, which will be your bottom bottle that will connect to the launcher.
The other bottle you're going to cut the top so you have the bottom of the bottle.
Put the bottles together (DO NOT TAPE THEM) to make sure they're cut right before you move on.
(The picture is what the bottles should look like after you attach the wings and make the parachute.)
Step 3: Make the wings
Get the cardboard or foam core and cut out a wing that will a good size for the bottle.
Cut out 3-4 wings that are the same in size. If the size is off it will effect how high the rocket launches. You can make them whatever size you want and whatever shape you want.
Once the wings are cut out, tape them onto the sides of the bottom bottle of your rocket so it looks somewhat to the picture. Make sure they're taped around the same height because the wings effect the direction and the height of the rocket.
yeah i still don't get how to launch it after i read this even if it looked good
Absolutely, just have your parents hold it on the launchpad
a paper air plane
or matchstick foil rockets
i need facts for a school project, p.s luv ya

text: Malta Vs Italy: Restaurateur's Facebook insults cause uproar Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:00 - Thursday, 13 September 2012, 00:00 by Francesca Vella An online exchange between the Italian owner of a Maltese restaurant and a Maltese person during Tuesday's Italy vs Malta football match caused uproar on social networking site Facebook, with at least three groups urging people to boycott the Xemxija restaurant, Piccola Calabria. By about 1pm, more than 6,000 people had joined at least one of the groups. The Italian, writing on the restaurant's Facebook page after Italy scored the first goal against Malta (the final score was 2-0) said the Maltese should go to pick potatoes instead of playing football ("Andate a raccogliere patate Maltesi, lasciate perdere il calcio, non è cosa per voi"). Someone replied, saying that if he wasn't mistaken the Italian restaurateur was earning a living in Malta. The conversation started to degenerate from that point on, with the restaurant owner calling the Maltese people "ignorant Arab Bedouins", and the person he was having the conversation with "a clown" and "an Arab dog". The groups calling for a boycott of the Xemxija restaurant attracted several hundreds of angry people who felt insulted by the Italian's comments. One woman said the Italian restaurant owner's comment "clearly shows his ingratitude towards his customers. It also clearly outlines his ignorance (but then, hey, he is a Calabrese) at insulting those who have earned him a decent living in these years. Lastly, this person is not deserving of our wonderful island. Absolute Boycott." Owner's comments Contacted for comment, the owner of the restaurant, Vincenzo Lesiano, said it didn't make sense to boycott a restaurant over a game of football. "My comments weren't directed at the whole Maltese population, but at a particular rude Maltese person who had insulted my family." Explaining further in a post on one of the 'Boycott Piccola Calabria' groups, his wife (who is Maltese) said that she and her husband had been joking about the football match, and someone from whom she had accepted a request on Facebook, who was a friend of her brother (whom she doesn't get on well with) interfered and started hurling insults at their family. This naturally angered her and her husband, who then ended up losing it and taking it out on other people. The restaurant owner's comment clearly shows his ingratitude towards his customers. It also clearly outlines his ignorance (but then, hey, he is a Calabrese) at insulting those who have earned him a decent living in these years. Lastly, this person is not deserving of our wonderful island

Does formal education as a child hinder a child's creativity?
I am writing on a paper on Education Systems restricting child creativity. On one hand formal education has it s benefits as it trains the human eye to notice things, place things in order. But on the other hand it sets certain limitations to a child's imaginative mind and forces him/her to produce stereotypical imagery of what they call 'art'
What are your opinions?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 14 2012: Formal education has actually accounted for a lot of the development of my imagination. I guess the formality led me to ask myself , "What more ?" . The formal aspect of education has made me more curious, led to my aspirations to find out more in the world, and helped me use my creativity and imagination in a more logical, practical, and easily understood way. So i guess the formality of education has served as an asset to my creativity, rather than an hindrance.

His previous projects have included logging onto online games of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault to quote poetry and gathering six people together to log onto online games of Quake III: Arena to recite every line from an episode of the hit sitcom Friends. The pieces were titled "War Poetry: Medal of Honor" and "Quake/Friends," respectively.Oh, no... not this guy again. Spamming text is a faux pas no matter what online community you are involved with, let alone the degenerate bracket that constitutes the player base of the generic YAFPS military mouthpiece that is AA. I really, really dislike AA, to an extreme degree. This is just a waste of time.
There's no practical difference between spammers and telemarketers making a nuisance of themselves with commercial messages and "artists" making a nuisance of themselves with political messagesI disagree and I believe the law does too. Commercial speech is regulated (FCC, FTC) and (IMHO) should be regulated. Political speech is not and should not be regulated. Contrary to popular trends, we have a tradition of freedom of expression in the United States.
DaShiv: Were we discussing censorship, I'd agree with that distinction between commercial and political speech. When it comes to discussing intrusiveness/disruptiveness, audience annoyance, lack of efficacy in choosing of space and occasion, and degrees of self-serving though, I don't see the need to draw any distinctions between commercial and political speech as opposed to simply speech. Do you?Actually, I do believe that individuals with non-profit motives deserve some more leeway. When you have limited resources, some experimentation is required to find strategies that work. I think the message and the sincerity of the message is what's important here. In my opinion, the sin of straight up trolls, spammers and griefers is not their annoyance, but their lack of sincerity. Certainly there's a difference, however small, between "penis extension" spam and "pray for my sick child" spam.
Spamming on someone else's gaming server is akin to doing so at someone else's house in the middle of their party -- incredibly rude and tasteless. Just because there are people there doesn't make it an appropriate "public space", no matter who's hosting the party.When the US government is hosting the party, using tax dollars with open servers, then what we have is an open forum. AA is a public space. Period. It's fair game. I don't see how it's significantly different, socially or legally, than protesting on the National Mall. There are certainly enough people out there who are annoyed at any protest anywhere.

When you love each other, you hold the good stuff between you. Custom bookends, "Lucy and Henry." Plus, cute little rabbit nips peaking out!
I drew this little girl for Kyle and Devon… Happy Birthday, Kyle Reiter!
I want you to know something: You've got magic inside you.
I've always seen it in you, you just have to see it, too.
That wild magic is there in your bones, it's there in your skin,
It will be in there to oil you on the days you're made of tin.
It's there in every one of your freckles,
It's alive in all your cells, in all those speckles.
It's in your hair, in every strand of red,
Left in your wake, on your pillow and on your bed.
Sometimes you're going to feel like you've lost it,
Like it's fallen into a dark hole that's no longer lit.
But don't think it's gone when you can't see it beaming or shining,
Because I promise you it's in there, it's in your core and in your lining.
You have to trust that it's always in motion, always working,
You have to know that even when it's dormant, it's always lurking.
So when you need it, let it loose with your laugh and with your smile,
Trust this magic will take you places, even if it takes a while.
It will surprise you when you're not looking, when you least expect,
Even if you're alone, it will be there to lead you and to protect.
You have in you this secret, this magic, this unbelievable power,
So learn it and love it, babe, because it's growing by the hour.

Wow! Thank you! You mean the writing or the art? It means so much to hear from you. Thanks!!!
An old abstract acrylic piece.
If you were interviewing for a position within my heart, I'd say, Tell me your credentials and give me examples of your work ethic. You'd list all the things that you did in the past that prove you're good at working in the heart but you admit, quietly, that although you liked those places, those hearts, you just didn't feel they were environments within which your true potential could flourish… and that's what brought you to my heart. You believe you are the right candidate for the position and you would say, "I want the full-time management position of your heart" and then you'd smile and add, "I'll even throw in some data analysis," and so I'd say, "Great, we need a data analyst."
"What else can you offer me here, if I were to come work in your heart?" you'd ask, and I'd reply, "There are great benefits. First class. It's like fucking Google in here." You'd tell me you saw the piece in Wired Magazine about us being one of the best places to work, but you're glad to hear me confirm it. You want to know when you can start if I hire you and I'd say, "The position is effective immediately." Then I'd add, "Wait, do you need two weeks notice to tell any other hearts you're in currently?" and you'd say, "No, I've been unemployed for quite some time. I really wanted to wait to find the right position before taking any job as I wouldn't want to take a seat somewhere unless I could see myself being there a while."
Then I'd say, "But hey, the economy, it's been terrible. I mean, you must have —" and you'd stop me, quiet me with your finger, and confide in me something you've never told a potential employer of the heart before: "I've never filed for bankruptcy, even during the recession. I've saved relationship dollars in a small bank so I'd be okay on a rainy day, but then my uncle – who was dying – said, You better not wait for the rainy day because you might die before it comes. That was depressing advice and I didn't want to just spend my heart money but I realized that I should be more proactive and try to find the right position, now, rather than wait until the time was better because heck, is the timing ever better?" I'd shake my head, No, in agreement.
This would make me really happy because I'd know you really were ready and that you wanted to work in my heart, not because you just needed to. I'd ask you again, just to make sure, if this is a temporary position and you'd say, "I want to see this heart grow! I want to be a part of why it explodes! I want to see it become the biggest heart that's ever graced the cover of Fortune Magazine!" I would be beaming now, so hard my cheeks would hurt because this would be the best interviewee I'd ever interviewed. But then, you add, "I want to have shares of your heart so if it ever sells, I could make more money from it." That's when the high would drop; You'd said too much. "You would want me to sell shares of my heart?" I would ask as tears welled up in my eyes because I'm really looking to employ someone who wants my whole heart, not a piece of it. I want someone to buy it and to commit to it and it not be just a good investment so he can buy a better heart in the future. "No, no," you'd shout, retracing. Retracting. "You got me wrong! I meant I want to become the CEO of your heart and I never want to make it public. I want to own the whole thing, forever."
Okay, good, I think. "Well, then," I would say, extending my hand. "Welcome to my heart."

Stories by Ramin Setoodeh
'I Got Paid a Lot'2/23/06 at 7:00 PMBruce Vilanch is back writing again for this year's Oscars ceremony—making it his 16th telecast. The comedian also launched a reality TV career on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" (Sunday at 9 p.m.) He spoke to Newsweek's Ramin Setoodeh about the upcoming awards show. Excerpts:NEWSWEEK: How much of the Oscars are scripted?Bruce Vilanch: Everything is scripted and it changes as we go along. The writers are in the wings with the host and they are watching the show as it progresses and adapting, rewriting, until the very last hunk of gold is dropped. The only truly unscripted parts are the winner. They dictate how the show will go. They'll execute maneuvers you can use later on, they'll get political, they'll be wearing something. They'll show up dressed up as a swan.Will there be song-and-dance numbers?There'll be songs. But no dance numbers.What else is going to be different with Jon Stewart?Well, it's Jon's first time. I expect it will be political. He'll probably use a couple elements...
Toys: To Infinity and Beyond2/19/06 at 7:00 PMThe biggest surprise at the American International Toy Fair in New York last week: the famous redhead never showed up. Fisher-Price announced its new TMX (short for Tickle Me Elmo Extreme) that will hit stores in September, but only unveiled the packaging, a briefcase of sorts with the words top secret. Our best guess: Elmo will be fully loaded with revamped gadgetry for a bigger laugh and, maybe, even some new grooves. That should keep moms around the country in long lines next Christmas.

Television: Whoa. It's the Revenge of the Nerds!1/29/06 at 7:00 PMAh, high school. how we miss you so... little. But fans who teared up over the death of the TV show "Freaks and Geeks" are getting a break. Those awkward kids on the series have grown up to be Hollywood stars. That's unexpected, because, creator Paul Feig says, "I wasn't looking for movie stars. We wanted a real show [with actors] who were rough around the edges." That presence translates well on the big screen. Take Seth Rogen, who played Ken and was later cast in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." Now he's getting his first star vehicle, "Knocked Up," which is like the bookend to "Virgin": a guy impregnates a girl on their first date. Jason Segel, also from the show, will costar. Judd Apatow, a "Freaks" scribe who's directing, says, "I'm always looking for opportunities for the cast." Long live dorkhood.
Unknown to Hit1/14/06 at 7:00 PMBen McKenzie was an unknown when he was cast in "The O.C." But after the show became an overnight hit, so did the actor--especially with the program's female viewers. The 27-year-old McKenzie recently made his film debut in the independent film "Junebug." McKenzie plays Johnny, a struggling young man who lives in North Carolina with his parents and pregnant wife (Amy Adams), and receives a visit from his Chicago brother (Alessandro Nivola) and wife (Embeth Davidtz). With the "Junebug" DVD coming out this week, McKenzie spoke to NEWSWEEK's Ramin Setoodeh. Excerpts: ...
Fast Chat: Jake Gyllenhaal12/25/05 at 7:00 PMJake Gyllenhaal is Hollywood's sexiest man--despite what the editors at People say. The actor took a break from his heartthrob duties to speak with Ramin Setoodeh.Honestly, I'm feeling more like maybe we should.I don't think I could give you a coherent reason. Ultimately, the movie is about the struggle of love--with a new way of looking at it. Whether it will change minds is not something you can know in the present moment.I respect that people are interested in that. I'm flattered by it. But I hope there are more important things in the stories that they're moved by.Are you kidding me? It's none of my business. They're both wonderful people.You're pinning me against him? I have no hard feelings. But I'll challenge Matthew McConaughey in the kitchen any time.After a 14-week trial that included lurid testimony, a jury cleared Jackson of charges that he tried to get a teen drunk and sexually molest him. Fans outside the courthouse in Santa Maria, Calif., rejoiced; one released a dove...
Music: An 'Idol' at The Movies12/18/05 at 7:00 PMWill Young is making his big-screen debut. That, of course, means zilch to most of us. But Young is the Kelly Clarkson of British pop music. As the winner of the first "Pop Idol" in 2002 (the U.K.'s version of "American Idol"), he topped the charts with his single "Anything Is Possible/Evergreen," and his second album sold 1.6 million copies. ...
Television: Comin' To Town12/18/05 at 7:00 PM'The Santa Clause' (Thursday, ABC, 8 p.m., ET). Just don't ask to sit on Tim Allen's lap. 'Frosty the Snowman' (Saturday, CBS, 8 p.m., ET). The cool 1969 cartoon. 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' (Sunday, NBC, 9 p.m., ET). Or, Chevy's guide on how not to hang your lights. 'Jingle All the Way' (Dec. 24, ABC Family, noon, ET). See Arnold run for something other than office. Sinbad costars. 'It's a Wonderful Life' (Dec. 24, NBC, 8 p.m.,ET). James Stewart in the 1946 chestnut. Can we open our presents now?
Style: 'Geisha's' Gone Wild12/18/05 at 7:00 PMArthur Golden's 1997 best-seller "Memoirs of a Geisha" opened our eyes to a secret society. Now Rob Marshall's new film, based on the novel, wants us to open our wallets, too. Store shelves are packed with a blizzard of tie-ins, including books, posters, makeup--even Banana Republic clothes. Of course, you probably wouldn't want to wear an authentic kimono to work. But the brand offers some colorful geisha-inspired satin dresses ($168; bananarepublic.com ), purses ($38 to $58) and necklaces ($38). The cosmetics company Fresh has unveiled its own "Memoirs of a Geisha" line (all products at fresh.com ). Our testers thought the fragrance ($48 for 75ml) with jasmine flower was "too sweet." And they weren't crazy about the rice face wash ($32), with peach and green-tea extracts, or the shimmer powder with crushed pearl ($38), either. But they did like the texture of the flower-petal mask ($35 for 50ml), which contains crushed hibiscus. Finally, one tester thought the bath with sake ($42...
Technology: Time To Get Plugged In12/4/05 at 7:00 PMHard-core gamers lined up around the block last week for the new $400 Xbox. But the toy industry is targeting the rest of us--children, tweens and adults--through a more primitive technology: plug and play. These games come with a joystick and connect directly into your TV, banking on the idea that you don't need an expensive console to be hooked on Ms. Pac-Man.That sounds about right. The gadgets have brought in $40 million in sales through October of this year, up 150 percent over the same period in 2004, reports the NPD Group. The draw: prices starting at about $20, and the fact that the controllers are easy enough for parents and younger kids.Toy stores have spent the past few years pushing retro titles, like Centipede and Mortal Kombat, which have a vintage appeal for older gamers. The new Wheel of Fortune ($19.99; amazon.com ) is a perfect illustration of why the category has its fans. The game offers fewer bells and whistles than the outdated Nintendo 64 edition, but its...
A Slippery Snowy Slope for Marketing12/4/05 at 7:00 PMIn "First Descent," a new snowboarding documentary that opens in limited release this week, mountains are everywhere. You'll have to look a little harder to spot the Mountain Dew.But not too hard. Mountain Dew, after all, didn't just pay to have the soft drink in the movie. It financed the entire project, which follows five snowboarding icons. (A rep won't comment on the budget.) Experts call it "branded entertainment." How better to control screen time for a product?But John Galloway, VP of sports and media for Pepsi-Cola, says that less is more in this film. Pepsi-Cola, which owns Mountain Dew, wants to build buzz by association. "Our goal is for this to be the seminal movie of snowboarding--we didn't want to go overboard with the product,'' he says. Product shots are subtle--a snowboarder's helmet, for example, shows the logo.Marketers say Mountain Dew made a smart move, because audiences are turned off by blatant product placement. Jeff Greenfield, a product-placement expert,...

Cheat Sheet: To Save The Day11/20/05 at 7:00 PMIf you think of Donatello as an Italian sculptor--and not a purple Ninja Turtle--you'll need help sorting through the action figures this Christmas. Here are our picks for the boys (and tomboys) on your list. B-Daman: These new marble shooters are based on a Japanese animated series. What to buy: The tournament set ($16.99; toysrus.com ) lets you play 10 games. King Kong: They'll go bananas for this line that drops with the Peter Jackson remake. What to buy: Hear the roar of the 14-inch figure ($24.99; toysrus.com ). It also pounds its chest. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The pizza-loving '80s heroes are back; a CGI movie is scheduled for '07. What to buy: The sewer spewer tank ($29.99; kbtoys.com ) oozes slime. Power Rangers: They guard our planet from evil space aliens--and have sold 80 million figures since 1993. What to buy: Look for a five-inch figure of the rarer Omega (white) ranger ($9.99; toysrus.com ).
Collecting: Falling From The Sky11/13/05 at 7:00 PMChicken Little is arriving at McDonald's this month, and (good news) he won't be served as a McNugget. The Happy Meal, born in 1979, has found some of its hungriest fans in Disney collectibles ("DuckTales" in 1988; "The Little Mermaid" in 1989). Joyce Losonsky, coauthor of "McDonald's Happy Meal Toys in the USA," says even the earliest toys don't fetch more than a few dollars. But diehards scour eBay for complete sets to display in their homes. As of last week, a "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" collection was up for grabs with a starting bid of $9. Movie characters, like Bambi, are rarer--and more sought after--than Mickeys and Minnies. See kathysfastfoodtoys.com for some of the older toys and photos.Ready to supersize your hobby? The McDonald's Collectors Club ( mcdclub .com ) holds a convention in May--where you can buy, sell or trade your toys. Don't expect fries with that.
Music: Strumming Right Along11/6/05 at 7:00 PMWith "Walk the Line," the Johnny Cash biopic that's about to open, it's time to brush up on the Man in Black. We asked the legend's son--John Carter Cash--for some help. Download these hits to stay ahead (the film's versions are sung by Joaquin Phoenix): 'Cry, Cry, Cry': The song "brings back memories of my father's early career. I hear his youth." 'I Walk the Line': "I believe it's one of his greatest compositions. The spirit of the song is unique--the chord progression, the modulations, is not something you hear." 'Get Rhythm': "I love the energy of the song. It puts me in the ' 50s in the streets of Memphis." 'Ring of Fire': Co-written by June Carter (Reese Witherspoon in the film), "it reminds me of my parents' love affair. It touches my heart every time." 'It Ain't Me, Babe': A duet with Carter. "I think of my mother, tossing the microphone." 'Cocaine Blues': "Brings to mind some of the great murder ballads--hard-core country songs."
Travel: Leave The Snow Back Home11/6/05 at 7:00 PMAirplanes are fully loaded around Thanksgiving and Christmas. But (shhh!) here's a little secret: hardly anyone travels between the two holidays. Use that time to cash in your remaining vacation days. "The Monday after Thanksgiving up until around Dec. 12 is really the hot spot," says Barbara Messing, of hotwire.com . A round-trip flight from San Francisco to Chicago in early December is $215--40 percent less than flying later in the month. A four-night package to Hawaii is only $779 per person (compared with $1,894 right after Christmas). Overseas fares are friendly, too. A four-night trip, with hotel, from New York to Los Cabos, Mexico, is yours for $785 per person (versus $2,155). Priceline .com is offering round-trip flights from New York to Paris for $429 and to London for $460. Another steal: a round-trip flight from New York to San Juan for $204. Consider it an early Christmas present to yourself.
DVD's: Spending the Night11/6/05 at 7:00 PMThis week, HBO is releasing a pink velvet binder with 20 discs (that's 94 episodes) of "Sex and the City." The collection includes all six seasons now sold in separate boxed sets, in addition to a batch of extra extras. (How do you get to Manhattan's Magnolia Bakery? Pop in disc 20--or look in the Yellow Pages.) Sofia Chang, HBO Video's vice president of marketing, calls the new collection a "coffee-table DVD." But given its $300 price tag, you might need to sell your coffee table to afford it.The latest trend in TV-to-DVD: lavish boxed sets that include every episode, not just a single season, of long-running shows. In November Warner Home Video drops a $300 "Friends" collection with 10 seasons in a wooden box. Fox Home Entertainment is putting out a collector's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," with 40 discs that include all 144 episodes and a letter from creator Joss Whedon. (The price: $200.) "We still get requests for something new on 'Buffy'," says Fox's Steve Feldstein.Studios hope...
Fruit: Freshly Picked11/6/05 at 7:00 PMFall fruit is at its peak. TIP SHEET asked James Parker, a Whole Foods Market produce expert, for advice. Pear: Feel them out. "If it's got a little give, it's ready to be eaten."Top pick: Asian pears are "a little juicier, not too sweet and very crisp." Persimmon: Look for ripeness in a "darker orange pumpkin color."Top pick: The Fuyu, shaped like a tomato, can be eaten firm. Pomegranate: "If the crown is broken, that's a sign the fruit is old."Top pick: The Wonderful variety lives up to its name: it's "quite sweet." Apple: Don't worry about color. It should be firm with "some weight."Top pick: Honeycrisp, "the new Cadillac apple," is spicy like a cider.
Rentals: He's Behind You!10/30/05 at 7:00 PM'Friday the 13th' (1980) The original is the campiest, with a game of strip Monopoly, but any sequel will do. 'The Evil Dead' (1981) Enter the cabin in Sam Raimi's classic, and you might lose your guts. 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (1984) Johnny Depp, don't sleep. Or Krueger will get you! 'Halloween' (1978) Might as well see the movie after which they named the holiday. Or is it the other way around? 'House of Wax' (2005) Die, Paris! Die! 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' (1988) But skip this one if Bozo gave you the creeps.
Entertainment: No Need For Tivo10/23/05 at 8:00 PMTv-show board games, once popular in the '60s and '70s, are back in syndication. Here are three new series to watch--and play: Desperate Housewives Dirty Laundry Game ($16.62; walmart.com ). Take a stroll down Wisteria Lane with the girls. But don't ( nudge ) lose your pants. In the cards: answer trivia questions like, "Who gets frisky wearing an animal print thong?" (The answer: Tom). CSI Miami: The Board Game ($24.99; amazon.com ). A spinoff game based on the spinoff series. In the cards: you try to solve a crime with the help of suspect info like, "Murray Palmer is addicted to Internet hacking." I Love the 80s: Board Game ($24.99; target.com ). For fans of VH1 nostalgia, this trivia game asks players to answer questions, draw pictures and act out clues like "The Incredible Hulk." In the cards: "Who was the producers' first choice to play Alex P. Keaton on 'Family Ties'?" The answer: Matthew Broderick.

Family Travel: Mummy, Let's Ride Again!10/16/05 at 8:00 PMTed Dougherty, a paralegal from Sierra Madre, Calif., spends his nights as a werewolf. With a foam-latex mask glued to his face, he crawls around Knott's Berry Farm and growls at unsuspecting bystanders. Dougherty is among a cast of 1,000 actors dressed in monster costumes who overtake the amusement park during a monthlong Halloween celebration. "People scream, they flinch, they run," he says. "They faint because they get so scared."But adult travelers and their teen-age kids are coming back for more. The haunted-amusement-park phenomenon, which started in the 1970s, has become a surefire way for parks to extend peak travel season beyond the summer months. Now, with an increase in consumer spending on Halloween and the popularity of local haunted houses, more parks are letting frightfests take over, with elaborate sets, sound effects, strobe lights and lots of monsters. The events are also lasting longer than before "to accommodate larger crowds," says Arthur Levine, an amusement...
THE GOOD LIFE10/9/05 at 8:00 PMTo See And Be SeenBy Rukhmini PunooseFeel like you've got-ten all the fashion mileage you can out of your scarf, belt or purse? Try a new pair of custom glasses--and never mind if your vision is 20/20. Boutique opticians are springing up around the world, and they are definitely less concerned with how you see than with the way you look. Robert Marc started the trend 20 years ago, when he opened his first custom-glasses shop in New York. Among his early memorable designs: Woody Allen's signature black-frame glasses. Marc now has nine stores in the United States and sells his wares at luxury opticians from Europe to Asia. He has designed frames for Julianne Moore, Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman and Cameron Diaz ($295 to $1,295; 212-319-2000).In many eyewear boutiques, no two pairs are alike. Designers cater to consumer tastes, using unique materials like buffalo horn, rhinestone, leather, silk, wood--as well as white gold and diamonds--or sourcing rare antique gold frames from the 1930s....
CHEAT SHEET: TRUMAN SHOW10/2/05 at 8:00 PMTruman Capote's "In Cold Blood" was a landmark in nonfiction. The new movie "Capote" tells the story behind the story. Want to prepare? Start with the original material. The 1965 book ($14) recounts a family murder in the town of Holcomb, Kans., and the lives of the two men accused of the crime. Next, look for a tie-in edition of Gerald Clarke's excellent "Capote: A Biography" ($17.95), which inspired the movie. "The dilemma for Capote was, he had to have a resolution," Clarke tells NEWSWEEK. In other words, he was waiting for an execution.Of course, everyone knows Capote from "Breakfast at Tiffany's." But Clarke recommends two dark short stories: "Miriam" and "A Tree of Night" from the new paperback "The Complete Stories" ($14). Finally, a recent collection, "Too Brief a Treat" ($16), includes his letters to people you'll see in the movie, like Det. Alvin Dewey (played by Chris Cooper). To a friend: "It is a Big Work, believe me," Capote wrote, "and if I fail I still will have...
SPORTS: ON THE WAY TO THE TOP10/2/05 at 8:00 PMKids across the nation are discovering the latest hot game: rapidly stacking cups into formations. Some 1 million people in the United States and Canada are playing, often in P.E. classes, according to the World Sport Stacking Association. We asked 18-year-old Emily Fox, who holds two records, for tips.Stackers need a dozen plastic cups. Speedstacks.com offers an $18.95 set designed to improve your time. The easiest formation, the 3-3-3, involves three stacks of three cups. Using both hands, build each stack into a pyramid and then take them back down. Once you've mastered the move, try the 3-6-3 (with six cups in the middle). Fox's time, 2.72 seconds, is the record to beat. "I would practice half an hour a day," she says. (See Fox do a more tricky maneuver, the cycle, at NEWSWEEK.com.) By April, you could be ready to compete in the championships in Denver (worldsportstacking association.org).
Movies: Nobody Loves Me!9/25/05 at 8:00 PMPeter Judson directed a documentary called "Nobody Wants Your Film," about a small movie that nobody in Hollywood wanted. The only snag: nobody wanted Judson's movie, either. In 2001, the NYU grad was shooting extra footage for the DVD of an indie film. But that movie, called "13 Moons," never hit theaters, so Judson pieced together his interviews (with actors like Steve Buscemi, Sam Rockwell and Peter Dinklage) for a collage on why it failed. The challenge: finding somebody to watch "Nobody." Judson booked his documentary in an L.A. theater and advertised online (total cost: $60,000). With more than 200,000 visitors to his site so far, DVDs go on sale this week. Now Judson is planning sites for rejected novelists, artists and musicians. "This is about the disenchanted connecting," he says.
Entertainment: Must-See (Live!) Tv9/25/05 at 8:00 PMWhy watch your favorite TV show from the sofa when you can be in the audience? With the fall season in full swing, now is a good time to attend live tapings. Here's how to get your free tickets: Tvtickets.com has passes to more than 20 sitcoms filmed in Los Angeles and New York, from "Two and a Half Men" to "Hope & Faith." But check often--popular shows, like "Will & Grace," go fast. Can't find anything you want to see? Call Paramount (323-956-1777) to attend CBS sitcoms "Yes, Dear" and "Out of Practice" (with Henry Winkler), as well as a handful of UPN shows like "Girlfriends." Finally, don't forget the talk-show circuit. Most networks list rules for tickets on their sites; see cbs.com/latenight/lateshow and ellen.warnerbros.com/showinfo/ tickets. If you're lucky, you'll have a good time and go home with some freebies.

Fox's "Skating With Celebrities" is in production right now, and the network hopes it will air this fall. How do we know it's the best ever if we haven't seen it? One word: gore. "You'll see a lot of falls, no question," says Fox's Mike Darnell. "We've already had one incident of blood." As if that weren't enough, "Skating" gives you two kinds of has-beens--washed-up stars and washed-up skaters--for the price of one. The stars: Dave Coulier, Jillian Barberie, Deborah Gibson, Todd Bridges, Bruce Jenner and Kristy Swanson. They'll be paired with Nancy Kerrigan, John Zimmerman, Kurt Browning, Jenni Meno, Tai Babilonia and Lloyd Isler. Dorothy Hamill is the nice judge. And the nasty one?

Olympus E-420 review
Value For Money
Value For Money
Whatever else that's said about the E-420 it's hard to dispute the value on offer. Body-only options for the E-420 are currently retailing for around £330, while even the E-420's double zoom kit – with the 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses – can be found for around £480. As the price of the camera drops, we imagine this will be something potential bridge-camera purchasers would consider investing in, even if it means paying a little more and sacrificing a little of the focal range.

TUESDAY, July 12 (HealthDay News) -- Scorching heat and
oppressive humidity continued to grip much of the United States
Tuesday, with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees -- and in some
cases 100 degrees -- from the Southwest to the Northeast.
The heat wave is prompting doctors to warn that high
temperatures can cause serious -- and potentially fatal -- health
"The body has ways of keeping itself cool, by letting heat escape through the skin, and by perspiring," said Dr. Ken Sable, vice chair of emergency medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in New York City, where the mercury was expected to top out at 95 degrees on Tuesday.
"If the body does not cool properly or does not cool enough, the victim may suffer a heat-related illness. Anyone can be susceptible although the very young and very old are at greater risk. Heat-related illnesses can become serious or even deadly if unattended," he added.
Dr. Janyce Sanford, chair of emergency medicine at the
University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, said heat-related
illnesses span a range of ills, from mild to severe. "Someone who
has been working out in the heat may start to experience the
beginning stages with heat cramps. As it progresses, the next step
is heat exhaustion. They may develop a severe headache, nausea,
vomiting, and a feeling of severe weakness," she said in a
university news release.
The most serious -- and potentially fatal -- heat-related
illness is heat stroke, Sanford said.
"When you reach this point, the severely elevated body temperature causes an altered mental state, dizziness and ultimately can lead to a loss of consciousness. The muscles can start to break down, which leads to kidney failure; this makes heat stroke a life-threatening illness," she said.
Though rare, heat stroke is most often seen in very young and
elderly people, or people with a chronic illness.
Sable said the safest place to be during a heat wave is indoors
-- if air conditioning is available. Remain in the air-conditioning
as long as possible. And limit outdoor activity to morning and
evening hours when temperatures are relatively cooler.
Sanford offers the following advice:
Sable said it's also best to avoid caffeine and alcohol. Drinks
that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar can cause
dehydration and irritability.
The National Weather Service said the excessive heat would
continue over much of the eastern two-thirds of the country on
Tuesday, with excessive heat warnings and heat advisories in place

The cause of the heat wave is a high-pressure system that has
remained stuck over much of the middle of the country, blocking the
arrival of cooler air from Canada. In Wichita, the temperature has
hit at least 100 degrees for 20 straight days.
If you're looking for some (very) long-range relief from the
heat, don't count on it. A recent study from Stanford University

with unusually hot summers by the middle of the century. The
culprit cited by the researchers: global warming.

The rectangular dial on the analog Timex men's watch from the Fashion series is designed to look extremely trendy. The funky design of the dial is brilliantly complemented by the mineral glass cover on the dial face, which makes the watch resistant to scratches. The designers of the Timex Fashion analog timepiece have equipped the watch with a genuine leather strap. The comfy strap is both extremely durable against most harmful elements that are present in your daily environment as well as comfortable to wear for the longest stretches of time.

We are all aware that the Alabama legislature enacted a texting-while-driving ban in the summer of 2012. Due to a recent growth in national texting and driving campaigns, most drivers now accept the fact that texting and cell phone use while behind the wheel is a growing hazard for motorists everywhere. However, with all the attention on texting, many forget that the true hazard is not limited just to cell phones. Any device or any activity that competes for a driver's attention presents a real risk of a catastrophic car accident.
Studies reveal that convenience-based distractions can be just as deadly as communication-based distractions. For instance, a recent survey shows that more than 20% of women admit to applying makeup while driving. A study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that simply touching up one's makeup can actually increase the risk that that driver is involved in a auto accident by three times. That same study revealed that talking on the phone only increased a driver's crash risk by 1.3 times.
Another report showed that more than 70% of drivers consume food and/or beverages while behind the wheel. An early distracted driving study by the NHTSA predicted that eating and driving could potentially increase the threat of an auto accident by up to 80%. However, the study did recognize that different foods/beverages presented different risks.
Regardless of whether a driver is eating, playing with the radio, texting, or simply talking with passengers, the key factor to safe driving is driver alertness. Consult an Alabama texting accident lawyer if you were injured in a car collision caused by a distracted driver. Lawyers familiar with personal injury claims stemming from such accidents may be able to discover documents and obtain witness statements proving the other driver was inattentive.

217 civil society groups call on EU fisheries ministers to end overfishing
April 11, 2013
BRUSSELS — As negotiations on the reform of the European Union's Common Fisheries Policy, or CFP, enter the final and decisive stage, 217 civil society groups are calling on EU fisheries ministers to support an end to overfishing and the speedy restoration of fish stocks.
"Two-hundred and seventeen civil society groups have reminded ministers that ending overfishing is a legal obligation for the EU and that it makes economic, social, and environmental sense. We are calling on EU fisheries ministers to follow the example of Australia, New Zealand, and the United States and agree to a policy that will allow fish stocks to recover to sustainable levels.
- Currently, 47 percent of the assessed stocks in the Atlantic and 80 percent in the Mediterranean are overfished, along with five of seven fish stocks in the Baltic.
- If EU member States rely only on wild fish caught in their waters this year, they would run out of fish on July 6. This has occurred in early July the past four years.
- Overfishing of EU stocks is wasting more than 3 billion euros in potential landed value every year, which could support more than 100,000 additional jobs.

over two thousand people have spent hours without power in Bureau County.
Electric companies have been working hard to get the lights back on, but Ameren said lots of lines and poles were damaged.
The number of those with out power has been steadily improving.
Those without lights, or heat, made it through their day, although daily routines ended up a little messy.
There's no hot coffee ready in the electric coffee maker to wake up to.
There's no way to pump gas either at the gas station.
Thousand of Bureau County residents spent Friday in the cold.
Waiting to get their routines back in order.
"It gets hard out here sometimes, but you just do what you got to do and make the best of it," says Deb Adams.
She has spent 37 years in Neponset. She says power outages happen from time to time. Friday though, was a rather strange one for Adams and her husband.
"Headed to an area that had cell service and found out I didn't have to work."
The power went out around 3:30 Thursday. Still wasn't on when they got up at 4:30 this morning. So the hunt for a hot cup of joe began.
"Went into Sheffield, they didn't have any, didn't have any power either, Buda, Wyanet, all out that way."
The Adams got a cup of coffee at Deb's sister's café in Kewanee, 10 miles from home. When they returned to Neponset they spent the rest of the day outside in the garage.
"Cleared our driveway, cleared around the neighborhood, and camping out in the garage watching a portable DVD player."
Captain's Courageous helped distract the Adam's from a cold, powerless Friday. They did get their mail though.
"Yes, this area is typical for that," says Bill Graves.
He delivers mail for the Postal Service. He says folks out here are used to outages, and this one was widespread.
"Post offices in Buda, Sheffield, Neponset, and when I was driving through Henry last night they didn't have any power."
An Ameren spokesperson says the lights should be back on by Friday night. Crews made it into Neponset by noon. Once the lights come back on Adam's says she'll stay in the garage a little longer.
"It's warmer sitting in the truck with it running than in the house."
A cold house takes a couple hours to heat up.

text: Next to the kitchen and bathrooms, this is the most frequently fucked room in our house because Daughter and I, plus our two cats, both spend nearly all our time here. (The actual living room is downstairs and never gets used.) I think the cleaning took about 45 minutes total, spread out over yesterday afternoon/evening, including the time I spent vacuuming, assembling the two cheap-ass IKEA side tables and getting the Christmas tree out of the garage. One day I swear I'll hang up that picture that's leaning on the wall behind the TV…I would have done it a long time ago if it weren't so heavy and unwieldy.

Pst Mail is a Universal application, which means it can run natively on the iPhone and the iPad. This page contains screenshots and tips, depicting the app as it looks when executed on the iPad device. If you would like to see an iPhone version of this page, please click here.
Transferring Outlook pst files to your iPad
When you first run Pst Mail in your iPad, there will be no pst files available yet:
- Open iTunes and select your iPad device
- On the top bar, select the "Apps" tab
- Scroll down to File Sharing and select Pst Mail
- Click "add" and upload as many pst files as you wish
Browsing messages
- When upload is finished, if you open Pst Mail a list of pst files will be displayed:
- Select any file and start navigating through the file folders. Tap on any message to read its contents
Other tips
- Use the "clip" button to get a list of the attachments in the message. If file type is supported, you can tap on it for view.
- To get a list of recipients and the exact date and time of the message, tap on the "at sign" button.
- If you tap on the sender or any recipient, the application will try to match with an existing contact in your address book. If that is not possible, you will have the option to create it.
- If you are using the iPad in portrait orientation, use the "Folder" button to get the list of messages and folders
- Use the search option (magnifying glass button), to filter messages and folders
- Use the "arrow" button to reply or forward the message. Note that the reply option works only when the sender has an internet address (i.e., name@domain).
- If an email address is not available, it maybe because the pst file was from an Exchange user account. If so, some addresses maybe stored in Exchange format, instead of Internet style. To work around that problem, you can optionally scan the files to match addresses from exchange to smtp format. The process will create a separate index file that will be transparently used when the email information is missing from the message. The first time you open a pst file you are given the option to create the index. If you skip it, you can do it later by doing a long tap over the pst file of interest.
- Open attachments with other apps in your device. Use the "Open In" button in the attachment preview screen.
- Delete pst files by swiping over it.
- New option to copy pst files to Pst Mail from other apps that support "Open In". Note: for big pst files, most apps will not show any progress and may seem that nothing is happening, but the pst will be copied and Pst Mail will show it once the copy is finished.

Bangor Daily News | BDN
The State Fire Marshal's Office says an arrest warrant has been issued for an Augusta man charging him in connection with last year's fire in Vassalboro that destroyed the Grandview Topless Coffee Shop. Fire Marshal Sgt. Kenneth Grimes said his investigators and police are looking for 49 year old Raymond Bellavance who will be charged with arson. Bellavance lives at 3 Jefferson Street in Augusta and has not been seen for the last couple of days. Bellavance was a boyfriend of one of the waitresses. Grimes said the arrest warrant was issued by the Kennebec County Superior Court Monday and results from the ten month investigation by the Fire Marshal's Office and the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office. The fire on June 3, 2009, destroyed the coffee shop and adjoining apartments. At the time of the fire, one of those apartments was occupied by owner Donald Crabtree and six other family members, including two infants. All escaped without injury. The fire was discovered by a passing ambulance about 1 a.m. Bellavance is described as 5'7" tall, 150 pounds with dark hair, and numerous tattoos on both arms, the most prominent being a skull on both arms. Anyone with information on Bellavance's whereabouts is asked to call State Police in Augusta at 624-7076, or 911 on a cell phone. (Photo courtesy Maine Dept. of Public Safety)
AUGUSTA, Maine — A 49-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to two counts of arson for allegedly setting fire to a topless coffee shop in central Maine.
Raymond Bellavance Jr., of Augusta, entered his pleas Tuesday in Kennebec County Superior Court.
Bellavance is accused of setting fire to the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro in the early morning hours of June 3, 2009. Prosecutors say he set the fire because he was angry at his ex-girlfriend, who worked at the shop and allegedly had a relationship with the owner.
Bellavance is being held on $200,000 cash bail.

This is the second time I've had the pleasure of tackling a pair of ear buds by Ultimate Ears, and while the first pair featured an experience driven by pounding bass, the 500vi's looked like they would be a much more refined experience. I had heard they were in a league far beyond what their price point would suggest, but I had to perform my own testing in order to see if that claim was valid.
I was hoping that Ultimate Ears would have updated the case that houses the ear buds so something better looking than the one that came with the 350s. It's a hard shell plastic case, and it looks like a miniature clam. To get the ear buds to even fit properly, you need to wrap them around your finger, and then stuff them in as best as you can. There are much better solutions that I've seen (even the cloth bag that the Astro ear buds come with was better), and while it's a small gripe, if I'm going to be keeping them in my pocket I'd like for them to feel comfortable in there.
That out of the way, I can talk about the more important things, like how they sound. The Ultimate Ears 500vi have a richer, fuller sound than the 350s did – yes, the bass does take a hit in the 500vi model, but it sounds more like a regular headset now rather than having a sub woofer strapped to your skull. With these, the bass is much more refined – however that could be said about all of the sounds. The highs are crisp and clear, the mids are right there, and there is no distortion that comes from the lows.
I've listened through Klipsch and Creative ear buds that don't deliver on the richness of the sound from the 500vis, but cost a good deal more. If you're just looking for a pair of ear buds for your iPhone however, and don't plan on listening to much music, these will work equally as good. The mic doesn't have a hard time picking up your voice, however it doesn't end up picking up background noises (unless they're overly loud). The voices coming through the other end are also quite easy to hear; I never once got any sort of distortion through voice calls.
A very nice feature of the 500vi model, is that the cord is a flat cord – I ended up just tossing these ear buds in my pocket because of my feelings towards the case, and not once did they get tangled up. The in-line controls are really nice and responsive as well – one of the biggest issues I have with my Astros is that when I lean on something, I have a tendency to pause my music because of where the controls are. Not so with the 500vis, the controls are designed so that's not going to happen.
The 500vi ear buds come with five sizes of tips for various ear sizes, but they also come with a pair of Comply Foam Tips. Just like putting in a pair of industrial ear plugs, the Comply tips expand to fit the inside of your ear – the result is a fit that won't fall out, and really doesn't let any sound in. The 350s I reviewed only had a noise canceling rating of 22dB, but the 500vis have a rating of 26dB. while 4dB might not seem like a lot to an average person, ask a construction worker just how big of a difference those 4 dB can translate into!
When all is said and done, I think I have found a replacement pair of ear buds to use with my iPhone. They're equally good for listening to music and for taking a call, and because of that I give the 500vi by Ultimate Ears a solid rating of four and a half stars out of five.
- Tangle-free cord
- Comply tips offer a perfect fit for any ear
- Sounds better than more expensive models from other brands
- Poor design for the case
- Plastic feel – the faux metal look feels cheap
- The L-shaped connector sits higher than I would have liked
