In Reply to: RE: New MC Phono Cartridge posted by AudioSoul on June 02, 2017 at 17:52:53
Opus 33 1/3
Follow Ups:
I heard the 20x2 for the first time in a system at the LAAS. On a LFD Phono Stage and Harbeth speakers, I heard nothing overly brightish going on while listening to Hawkins/Webster, as I suspected would be from what I'd read before (yes, I understand system dependent). So, it'll go on my consideration list when my 2M Black dies.
Ditto on a system with the PrimaLuna Dialouge. I liked what I heard there also.
See ya. Dave
That is a great pick and I have thought about that one myself. It's above my budget though. I want to spend around $500. What I am looking for soundwise is a Denon DL-103 midrange with more refinement at the top and bottom of the frequency spectrum....
use it for a bit, say a couple hundred hours. Then ship her off to Peter for an elliptical retip. My retipped 103 comes very close to the Dyna and betters it a bit in the mids.

I have a DL-103 so that is definitely a consideration.....
I have been using varients of the 103 for the last 20 years. Recently tried the 301/II and there is no going back. Just a more well rounded cartridge, lots more detail, good drive and available for $285 on ebay. A really nice, overlooked cartridge IMHO.
I did look at those but my arm is 16 gms. effective mass and is two heavy for that cart. The 301 mk II is higher compliance that the DL-103 series carts.....
Opus 33 1/3
Just interested in what your impression of this cartridge was and what put you off. I have two samples of this and they both perform very differently to each other (technically). One is a superb tracker easily getting 80um, and the other fails to get to 60um even at max VTF. For me, the common theme between them was that they sounded rather "dark" and "shut in" at the top and lacked the neutrality and clarity I would expect from an MC. An analysis of a white noise test tone revealed a very similar response as the Shure "Audiophile curve" cartridges like the M97xE. The DL304 is quite a different animal being much more neutral and is currently my favourite LOMC.
Just wondered how our experiences compared!

"Dark and shut in"? That is EXACTLY the opposite of the way I would describe the 301/II.
What loading were you using? On my Well Tempered Reference arm, Grace 707 and SME M2, I hear open, detailed, fast, dynamic, reasonably well balanced and fairly transparent sound. I packed up my Zu103 (my second one, I DO like this cartridge), it just is not the well rounded performer the the 301/II is. The 103 sounds great but leaves a lot out.
I think the 103 is certainly an easy and reasonable recommendation, but not the one cartridge I can live with anymore.
The Denon cartridges have quite a high output impedance so I load them at > 400R with 800R being my "normal" setting. Any less than 400R and the output level rapidly drops.
I should add that I didn't dislike the DL301/II as such (that was Opus), but that it very definitely sounds "dark" and "shut-in" compared to better LOMCs which have a flat response of which I have several. The tonal balance is very similar to the Shure M97xE. For certain types of music, it sounds good, but can sound a little bloated at the bottom end which is not attractive for vocals. It all depends on what you want out of a cartridge, but "neutral" it isn't!
For example, it does not have the analysis and neutrality of the DL304 which is currently my favourite LOMC and achieves all that I require - flat/neutral response, superb LF tracking ability and low tip mass. If you are used to a cartridge like the DL304 or OC9MLII (which sounds and measures very flat in my system despite complaints to the contrary on this forum) and then immediately put a DL301/II on, it will always sound shut in and dark. It appears to be a specific voicing characteristic and not related to compliance/arm interactions - my DL304 is even lower compliance than my "low compliance" version of the DL301/II that I have. The 2 samples of DL301 I have which have very different compliances. One is much lower than the other and gives a LF resonance just under 9Hz in my 12g arm compared to just over 7Hz for the high compliance version - this sample had an even more obvious suckout in the HF band.
I don't have a DL103, nor would I get one or recommend one - a spherical tip is just not going to meet my technical requirements!
Regards Anthony
"Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty.." Keats
So the DL-301 II is compatible with the Grace 707?
Yup, 301/II works well with the 707. Try higher loading with the 301/II, it certainly should not sound shut down or dark.
Vinyl, beer and Jazz! A great combo!
when you experiment with loading.
Opus 33 1/3
... well then you needed a higher value! LOL
I found that 500 sounds a lot more joyful. I way prefer the 301 II to the 103.
It might also depend on system synergy. I played a DL-301 II for a couple of years on my Thorens TD-126 / SME III . It sounded just fine to me with 100-ohm loading on my Mark Levinson No.28 preamp.
Best regards,
John Elison
I was happy when I found a buyer for it.
Opus 33 1/3
I didn't care for the 301 mk ii either. It sounded more like a MM cart. than a MC. I had mine installed on a Jelco SA-750D. It could have been a tonearm cartridge mis-match...
for under $50. The 750 with its fluid damping should not be a mismatch for the 301 .
Opus 33 1/3
None of mine sound "dark and shut-in" to me. MM's are no different from mc's in that some suck, some are middling, and some are VERY good.
These are the budget carts du jour. There are plenty of professional reviews as well. The elliptical version is $475.

Comstock Park, Michigan – (The Hosting News) – March 20, 2009 – Web hosting provider, Host Society, has debuted the first social networking destination focused exclusively on the web hosting industry, offering a platform for industry professionals to network and socialize in a non-business setting.
Zachary McClung, Founder of Host Society remarked, "We're not trying to take down News Corporation or spread to college campuses around the world. Instead, Host Society is carving out a unique niche that builds upon the tight-knit and well connected network of professionals in the Web hosting industry."
While Host Society offers similar functionality to the web's preeminent social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, it offers a unique affinity for internet professionals and builds community around shared interests. Users can interact through a wide collection of features, including personal blogs, classified postings, event listings, clubs, eCards, chat rooms, and forums.
Host Society is intended to be used as a community venue for social activities that are not necessarily business related. Users can join groups, invite friends to special events and gatherings, vote on polls, and chat casually in the forums.
Mr. McClung added, "Users grow beyond their user name

Judge to hear complaints to $10B Volkswagen emanations bargain
More than two dozen individuals—a large portion of them auto proprietors despondent with the proposed settlement—joined to address U.S. Locale Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco. He will choose whether to give the arrangement last endorsement, however he may not issue a decision at the hearing. The judge gave it preparatory endorsement in July.
The settlement calls for Volkswagen to spend up to $10 billion to purchase back or repair around 475,000 Volkswagens and Audi vehicles with 2-liter diesel motors and pay their proprietors an extra $5,100 to $10,000 each. Any repair choices have yet to be settled.
Vehicles with that kind of motor make up most by far of the approximately 560,000 autos got up to speed in the embarrassment.
Lawyers who arranged the arrangement have said it incorporates considerable installments to auto proprietors and has resonating backing. More than 311,000 individuals have enlisted for the settlement and under 3,300 individuals have quit, the lawyers said in a court recording a month ago asking Breyer to give the arrangement last endorsement.
A few proprietors have said they ought to get the full price tag of their vehicles. Others have restricted conclusions for additional mileage.
The settlement likewise incorporates $2.7 billion for unspecified natural relief and an extra $2 billion to advance zero-emanations vehicles. The joined $14.7 billion arrangement would be the biggest auto outrage settlement in U.S. history.
The outrage ejected in September 2015 when the U.S. Ecological Protection Agency said the German automaker had fitted a number of its autos with programming to trick outflows tests, putting filthy vehicles out and about. Auto proprietors and the U.S. Division of Justice sued.
The product perceived when the autos were being tried on a treadmill and turned on contamination controls. The controls were killed when the autos came back to the street. The EPA affirmed the plan let the autos heave more than 40 times the suitable furthest reaches of nitrogen oxide, which can bring about respiratory issues in individuals.
Volkswagen still faces conceivably billions more in fines and punishments and conceivable criminal accusations

AbstractThe Thermal Emission Spectrometer spectra of low albedo surface materials suggests that a four to one mixture of pyroxene to plagioclase, together with about a 35 percent dust component provides the best fit to the spectrum. Qualitative upper limits can be placed on the concentration of carbonates (<10 percent), olivine (<10 percent), clay minerals (<20 percent), and quartz (<5 percent) in the limited regions observed. Limb observations in the northern hemisphere reveal low-lying dust hazes and detached water-ice clouds at altitudes up to 55 kilometers. At an aerocentric longitude of 224??a major dust storm developed in the Noachis Terra region. The south polar cap retreat was similar to that observed by Viking.

Sora sprinted through the beach path as fast as his feet could carry him. He had long ago lost Riku from cutting through crowds and going through shortcuts only he knew. But he could care less.
She's not herself. What does that mean? His mind whirled with the possibilities of what could have happened. His heart raced - not just from his sudden adrenaline rush, but from worry. Sora followed the shoreline until he reached the steep bridge leading up to the Papou tree. His eyes widened as he heard a sweet voice - her voice. He could hear her singing to herself. A song that they had learned from one of the princesses.
Sora ran up the little bridge onto the little plateau that held the tree. There, sitting on the tree, was his red-haired beauty. But as she turned to face him, he was torn apart. It was Kairi - yes - but at the same time it wasn't. Her once vibrant violet-blue eyes were now a lifeless dull grey. Her once beautiful straight crimson hair was now bleached by the sun and hopelessly entangled.
"Oh." she exclaimed softly, eyes widening. "You... seem so familiar to me."
Her voice - once sweet, happy and musical - was now laced with sorrow and pain, like she had been through a great ordeal and came out hopeless and tired. The thought of her going through so much anguish pained him.
"Yeah." He choked out. "I'm Sora. Remember?" He was close to crying now.
"Oh!" Kairi's face lit up, and the sight gave him the least bit of hope that she would remember. "Sora. You're name starts with the same letter."
At this, Sora was confused.
"Same as who?"
She acted as if she hadn't heard and examined him closer. "Your eyes - they're the same color as his, too." She stared at him curiously, and lifted up her hands as if to touch his face.
Sora let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding, and reached out slowly to take her hand. But before he could, she quickly retracted it. Her sudden movement startled Sora. He stood there, mouth agape, with his hand outstretched - grasping nothing but air. Kairi eyes bore into his as she cradled the hand he almost touched. She seemed to be deep in thought, like she was trying to remember something. She blinked and her expression was turning into one of recognition.
All of a sudden, Kairi fell to her knees clutching her head causing Sora to panic. His reflexes caused him to drop down and catch the rest of Kairi's body before it hit the ground. He stayed there, hot sand burning his knees, holding her.
"My head... It hurts!" She complained, her face twisted in pain.
"It's okay. You're okay!" Sora comforted, though he wasn't even sure if she would be.
He held the moaning girl in his arms - his heart torn to pieces at the sight and feeling helpless for not knowing what to do. He held her close and whispered sweet nothings into her ear until she passed out from the pain.
"Kai, me and Riku have to leave agian."
"But you just got back!"
"I know, and I'm sorry."
Kairi woke up with a start, knocking her pillow off the bed she was laying on. She looked around, realizing that she was no longer on the beach. She was in an unfamiliar room. A boy's room, from the looks of it. Her eyes fell on a sleeping form on the ground beside her. She smiled as she recognized it as the nice boy that she saw from the beach.
Did he bring me here? she wondered, staring at his face. He was familiar, she was sure, but she just couldn't remember. She sat there on the bed, covers twisted around her ankles, trying to remember her this boy was.
The boy stirred, rolling over onto his side. Kairi chuckled at the sight of is unkempt, brown hair sticking up in all directions. She threw the covers off and swung her legs around the side of the bed, accidentally hitting the boy's back.
The boy - Sora, as she remembered him introducing himself - was startled awake and was up on his feet in a flash. A white, strange-looking sword materialized in his hand with a burst of light, as he looked around the room for danger.
Kairi was rather amused with his performance and burst into a fit of giggles. Sora realized that he had been tricked and laughed along with her, making his sword disappear with another flash of light.
"Good morning to you too, Kai." he said, eyes twinkling.
Kairi abruptly stopped giggling as she remembered something. That's what the boy in my dream called me.
Sora looked at her intently, wondering if something was wrong. He rushed to her side.
"Are you okay?" he questioned, hand over hers.
"Hmm? Oh, yes! I'm fine. Just... thinking." She said smiling up at him. "Uh.. where am I?" she asked.
"My room." he replied sheepishly. "I hope you don't mind the mess. I haven't cleaned in ages."
Kairi giggled and smiled at him in response. "Oh, I don't mind. I think it's very nice here."
She looked around at the pale blue walls and decal-sticker stars. A small picture on the nightstand caught her attention. A picture of three teenagers - two boys and one girl. She looked closely and recognized Sora. A closer examination made her realize that the girl in the picture was none other than herself.
A memory flooded into her mind.
"C'mon guys! It's a beautiful day out! Time to go to the beach!" Sora exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air.
"Sora, pipe down! Not all of us can share your enthusiasm."
Sora scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, guys." he said, chuckling nervously.
"This is when we went to the beach." she whispered to herself. But is Sora the guy I was waiting for?
"Wadja say?" Sora asked, leaning in closer to her hoping to hear.
"Uh... nothing..." She mumbled, placing the picture back on the nightstand.
Sora stared at her with doubt in his mind, but didn't push the matter further. He shrugged and turned to relax on the bed with his head against the wall, watching her. Kairi put the frame back on the nightsand as a massive wave of pain shocked her brain. She clutched her head and fell to her knees as Sora jumped off the bed and rushed to her side. Besides the ringing in her ears and the soft, comforting words of the brown-haired boy beside her, she heard a voice in her head.
Leave. Now. It ordered, instilling a sense of fear into her as she found she no longer had control of her movements. She stood up, pushing Sora away. Without so much of an explaination, she ran out the door, leaving Sora standing there, dumbstruck. Tears threatened to spill as he could faintly hear the slamming of the front door as Kairi escaped.
whoa. I havent updated in FOREVER. I can't belive that I finished this chapter! Took me a while, and I finally got over my writers block. Haha.
So, whaddya think? hahah Who is the mysterious voice in her head? And why can it command her? What does all this have to do with Sora? Find out in the next chapter of Fix Me! Heheh I added the little cliffy there... you never expected it! Rate and Review!
Love you all,

4 fresh, solid, medium-sized tomatoes, diced in ¼-inch segments
2 bunches of green onions, sliced almost wafer-thin
Garlic salt, added to taste
2 large, fresh jalapeño peppers, scored lengthwise about 1/8-inch and then minced.
Place tomatoes, onions, garlic salt and peppers in a large bowl before beginning on the avocados. (Start with a small amount of peppers, and then add to taste.) Cut avocados all around and then separate halves by twisting. Using the knife, hit the seed to separate it from the meat of the avocado. Carefully score lengthwise and then score vertically. With a large spoon, scoop the avocados into a large bowl until all 10 are done. Fold — do not mash — the tomatoes, onions, garlic salt and jalapeños with a large wooden spatula or spoon, turning the bowl until well-mixed. Add salt and pepper as desired.

For the dough, dissolve the cake of yeast and sugar in the milk. Set aside to proof in a warm place. Sift flour and cut in butter as in making a pie crust until it looks like little peas. Add milk mixture to egg yolks. Combine with flour and butter mixture. Divide the dough in two parts. Roll out to fit at 12-by-14" or 10-by-15" greased jellyroll pan. Place one layer of dough in the jellyroll pan. Spread with pineapple filling and cover with the other half of the dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until lightly golden brown.
For the frosting, mix powdered sugar and milk. Frost while squares are still warm. Sprinkle with chopped nuts while frosting is moist so that they can stick.

What can you do when there's a need for high quality office space in an area but limited options for new builds?
With demand for high quality office space in core cities and towns ever increasing, our new office repositioning platform aims to address this challenge. We've entered a new 50:50 partnership with Colony NorthStar Inc., a leading global real estate and investment management firm, to create a specialist, joint venture platform investing in the London City Region, Manchester and Dublin office markets.
Investing in underperforming office buildings in our three core markets, we will deliver modern, high quality office space through improved planning, development, refurbishment and asset management. We've seeded the joint-venture with two of our existing assets; The Record Store at The Old Vinyl Factory in London and Donnybrook House in Dublin. The Record Store is being renovated to create 83,000 sq. ft. of creative office space as part of U+I's wider transformation of the 17-acre site. In Dublin, we're refurbishing Donnybrook House, a 72,000 sq. ft. vacant building in a prominent central location, to meet the demands of creative and tech-focused businesses.
As outlined in our recent interim results, specialist platforms are an effective way for us to grow our business. With a £5 billion portfolio of mixed-use projects, we are able to aggregate particular types of real estate e.g. office space, retail, build to rent, within a specialist platform to leverage the expertise we have within specific sectors of the market.

Las Vegas, Nevada – (The Hosting News) – January 9, 2009 – Global Internet company, Yahoo!'s Connected TV group, has unveiled the next generation of technology and services for Internet-connected televisions, through partnerships with top CE manufacturers.
Launching a widget-based user experience for TV, a broad range of living room devices, are powered by the Yahoo! Widget Engine. The devices will is hoped to enable the discovery and enjoyment of the Cinematic Internet via a new class of interactive applications called TV Widgets.

By creating this revolutionary new Internet experience, and combining our technology with the global distribution of major consumer electronics partners, we enable consumers to access the relevant information and content to enhance their television watching experience."
In August, Yahoo! and Intel announced the Widget Channel, their joint initiative to foster innovation in the connected TV space. Building on that initiative, Yahoo! is announcing partnerships with top consumer electronics manufacturers including Samsung, Sony, LG Electronics and VIZIO. Products produced by these partnerships will enable the industry to bring an innovative Internet and TV experience to millions of consumers globally, starting as early as the spring of 2009. Reinforcing Yahoo!'s open strategy, the company today, in partnership with Intel, released the Widget Development Kit (WDK). This will enable developers to create TV Widgets and effectively reach millions of consumers and help foster the creation of a connected TV ecosystem.
The TV Widget user experience, powered by the Yahoo! Widget Engine, will be available in a variety of products, including a line of Internet-connected television sets manufactured by Samsung, Sony, LG Electronics and VIZIO and available in market as early as spring 2009. By working with the top consumer electronics manufacturers, Yahoo! will bring the exciting content developed by Yahoo! and third-party developers to millions of television sets in multiple countries in 2009.
Allen Weiner, Research VP, Gartner noted, "Consumers are increasingly looking for a richer TV experience, including the ability to integrate personalized Internet content and interactive experiences on the screen. Those companies who succeed as leading TV 2.0 portals will be those well positioned to make the connected TV a reality through strong global partnerships, innovative technology and expertise in creating open platforms. Developers will have the tools to bring the best of the Internet to TV, thus increasing the amount of Internet-enabled content and services available and ultimately transforming the TV viewing experience for millions of consumers."
The Yahoo! Widget Engine is based on the popular Konfabulator(R) widget platform for PC, which has been re-engineered specifically for consumer electronics devices. In August 2008, Yahoo! and Intel announced a partnership providing the Internet's developers and publishers with the tools needed to create exciting and engaging interactive TV Widgets. Starting today, Yahoo! and Intel will make a robust Widget Development Kit (WDK) available to developers, CE manufacturers, advertisers and content publishers.
This WDK takes advantage of industry standard tools, including JAVASCRIPT(R), XML and HTML, making it easy to rapidly develop and deploy TV Widgets based upon popular Internet services. Developers will use the WDK to create TV Widgets that leverage a rich set of programming interfaces called the Widget Channel API. More information regarding the WDK is available at http://connectedtv.yahoo.com/developer and www.intelconsumerelectronics.com.
Along with Yahoo! properties — including Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Weather, Yahoo! Video, Yahoo! Finance and Flickr, well-known content providers are already developing and planning to deploy TV Widgets, including eBay, MySpace, CBS, The New York Times, Netflix, Amazon, Blockbuster, Showtime, USA TODAY and Twitter, among others. Many of these widgets are being demonstrated at CES and may be available on retail devices in the coming months. For a complete list of all TV widgets in the Yahoo! Widget Engine, please see http://connectedtv.yahoo.com/newsroom.
Yahoo! will enable an ecosystem of developers, publishers, device makers and advertisers that will benefit consumers by bringing the Cinematic Internet to life.

Witay's World-Famous Chili
Recipe by WiTay
When the weather starts getting cold I love to warm up with Frito Pie. All it is is Frito's corn chips topped with chili and cheese. I like my chili full of different flavors and textures so I created this recipe which has proven to be a hit with everyone who's tried it. Most of my measurements are guesses since I always just spice things to taste.
Top Review by Charlotte J
This was a nice spicy chili, the heat will stay with you for a little while after you eat it. I used 4 jalapenos, 29 ounce can of beans, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cayenne and NO cinnamon. Which turned out a mighty damn good bowl of chili. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground meat (I prefer turkey but you can use beef)
- 1 white onion
- 4 -5 small jalapeno peppers
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1⁄4 cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1⁄2 tablespoon cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1⁄2 tablespoon black pepper
- frito's corn chips
- cheddar cheese
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine the diced tomatoes(undrained), kidney beans(undrained), and tomato paste in a large pot. Add the chili powder, cayenne, garlic salt, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper to the mixture and cook covered on stove on medium heat.
- Cut the tops off the jalapeños and quarter them longways into strips or "leaves" as my friends call them. Remove the seeds and innards.
- Petal the onion by removing the ends and cutting it in half then cutting each half into quarters and breaking apart the layers.
- Combine the ground meat, peppers and onions in a lightly oiled skillet and cook until the meat has browned.
- Add the meat and vegetables to the pot of tomatoes and beans and cook covered an additional 5-10 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
- Serve in a bowl over Frito's and top with grated cheddar.

This is my version, taken from the way my mother and grandmother used to make it. I varied the ingredients a little, so feel free to do the same! For the meat portion of this recipe, I have used Knockwurst and country boneless ribs with great success.
- 3 large
- sauerkraut (preferably hebrew national)
- 1 large
- onions, yellow, medium, finely chopped
- 1 lb
- bacon, double smoked
- 1 medium
- apple (preferably granny smith), finely chopped
- 1 l
- pork broth
- 1 bottle
- white wine, your choice
- 1 large
- pork cuts of your choice (see notes)
- 2 Tbsp
- olive oil
How to Make Sauerkraut
- 1Start by draining your sauerkraut in a thin-wired collander. Rinse with cold water to remove some of the excess salt water.
- 2In a large skillet, saute the bacon in 1 tbls of olive oil until the fat starts to turn translucent.
- 3Add the diced onion, and saute with the bacon until the onion starts to soften.
- 4Pour the bacon/onion combo into the pot you'll be using to cook the sauerkraut. In this case, I prefer the black metal roasting pans.
- 5Add the chopped apple to the bacon and onion and mix thoroughly to combine. The apple in this recipe removes some of the bitterness from the sauerkraut.
- 6Add the sauerkraut to the bacon/onion/apple, and stir to combine. Ensure that the sauerkraut is level.
- 7Thoroughly clean your skillet, because you'll be using it again.
- 8If you're using the country ribs for this recipe, add a generous amount of salt and pepper to each side.
- 9Brown each rib in the other tbl of olive oil, ensuring each side has been seared. They should be a golden brown color at this point.
- 10Preheat the oven to 375 degreed Fahrenheit.
- 11Pour the pork broth in to the pot of sauerkraut. At this point, then add enough white wine to come to roughly 1/2 inch below the sauerkraut level.
- 12Heat the sauerkraut combo to boiling, then turn off the heat.
- 13Set each rib on top of the sauerkraut, and push each one halfway in. After one half hour, turn the ribs so the other half in partially submerged.
- 14After 2 hours, remove the sauerkraut from the oven, and enjoy!

Punishment to Blogger: A Saudi blogger has been sentenced to 10 years jail, 1,000 lashes and fine of SR 1 million for spreading insulting remarks about Islam. The internet user named Raif Badawi was sentenced to 6 years jail and 600 lashes but when his appeal to review the punishment was turned down by the higher courts, he was given punishment of 10 years sentence. His website has been closed.
What was his Mistake? Raif Badawi was arrested in June 2012 and charged with Cyber Crimes. He was also charged with the crime of not obeying to the instructions of his father (treated a crime in Saudi Arabia). His website was containing the articles against Islam and Grand Muftis of Saudi Arabia. Initially, prosecution was trying to prove that he is guilty to insult Islam and hence be provided with the sentence of death but court dismissed this charge. Although he still has right to appeal against court's judgment but considering his last attempt when court almost doubled his punishment, he will think ten times before doing it.
Lesson from the Story
Saudi Authorities have zero tolerance against contents published against Islam. They have solid network of detectors whose primary duty is to find such kind of people. This is only one example; I have also heard that so many other people were sentenced to punishment for sharing inappropriate contents on social media. It is my strong suggestion to all my readers to not to spread any content against Islam or Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Respecting Islam is your moral duty and living in a country demands that you respect that country and their government.
If you have negative comments about Islam, I am 100% sure it is because of the wrong version of Islam communicated to you by different non-Muslim groups. Western media and terrorist organizations have played a devil's role in spreading negative image of Islam. Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood. So, if you have negative comments about Islam, try to research about it from Quran or Hadith before posting it on social media.
Similarly, it is the primary duty of every government to protect the rights of their nationals. Government has every right to make legislation in the better interest of their people. Expatriate living in Saudi Arabia is the secondary responsibility of the government. If you have any negative comments about any legislation of Saudi government, put yourself in the shoes of the beneficiaries of the legislation and I think all your concerns will be satisfied.
Cyber Crimes
- SR 500,000 fine for sharing private videos of others on Social Media
- SR 500,000 Fine, 1 Year Jail - if your Facebook Status is defamatory
- 8 Never to do things on Facebook to avoid Trouble in Saudi Arabia
- SR 20,000 Fine and 70 Lashes for Insulting a Saudi on Whatsapp
- American Jailed for Facebook Post he made in USA

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dubbed "super PACs" and flush with millions of dollars, outside groups backing and attacking Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich include a hotel magnate, a casino mogul and former partners at Romney's private equity firm. They're all over the airwaves in the early voting states, at times spending as much as the Republican presidential candidates themselves.
The names of these super political action committees — "Winning Our Future" and "Restore Our Future," for example — don't give any clues to the average voter who's behind them. And though big money has always been a part of big elections, this year's efforts are something new, a result of major court rulings easing spending limits by groups not directly linked to the candidates.
In many cases, donors' names will remain a mystery for at least weeks longer. But some are known.
Last week, the pro-Gingrich Winning Our Future PAC received $5 million from Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson. The group is expected to use the cash for new television advertisements in this month's primary elections — $3.4 million of it in South Carolina — as the former House speaker tries to overtake front-runner Romney in the race for the GOP nomination.
The group said Sunday it was planning to run a half-hour film assailing Romney's tenure at the investment firm Bain Capital. Adelson is one of wealthiest people in America, and his huge contribution coincides with tough comments by Gingrich in support of Israel, a signature issue of Adelson's. Gingrich in December said that Palestinians were an "invented" people, and he has warned about the consequences of Iran developing nuclear weapons, an important issue to Israel.
The film and expected ad purchases by Winning Our Future are the latest salvos in support of Gingrich, who was hammered by the pro-Romney group, Restore Our Future, with $3 million in attack ads during the Iowa caucuses. That Romney-boosting group is planning at least $2.3 million in South Carolina.
It's a sign that ad spending among super PACs is ramping up dramatically. Some outside groups, such as GOP-leaning American Crossroads, are largely holding off spending until the general election.
The latest help for Gingrich is a timely boost for the candidate, whose campaign only months ago reported more than $1 million in debt. The aid is largely thanks to Adelson, the head of the Las Vegas Sands Corp.
Gingrich's major campaign support by longtime allies isn't unique. While a casino mogul has come to his aid, so have venture capitalists for their old boss, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney.
Restore Our Future, run by former Romney adviser Carl Forti, raised more than $12 million during the first half of 2011, bolstered in part by former Bain executives and Romney friends. Edward Conard, a Bain vice president who sat on the boards of several of the firm's companies, gave $1 million in April — a donation that was initially credited to a short-lived corporation that Conard set up. Bain managing director Paul Edgerly and his wife, Sandra, gave $500,000 each in May.
The PAC also received $500,000 from Marriott International Inc. CEO J.W. Marriott Jr. and Marriott's brother, Richard, the chairman of Host Hotels and Resorts. Romney, whose first name is Willard, was named after the Marriotts' father, who was close friends with his own father, George Romney. Mitt Romney also served for years on Marriott's board of directors.
The CEO of New York hedge fund Moore Capital Management, Louis Moore Bacon, also gave $500,000.
Other contributions have been more opaque. Campaign finance records show Restore Our Future received $1 million checks apiece from Eli Publishing Inc. and F8 LLC, both registered to the same address in Provo, Utah. Eli Publishing is registered to Steven Lund, a founder of Nu Skin Enterprises, which was a sponsor of the very Salt Lake City Olympics that Romney organized.
Other super PACs, including Rick Perry-leaning Make Us Great Again, have also spent millions of dollars in Iowa and South Carolina this primary season. Even the Red, White and Blue Fund, supportive of Rick Santorum, has already spent $200,000 in South Carolina and is expected to spend more.
Scores of contributors to all the groups will remain secret until Jan. 31, when some of the super PACs are required to report their finances to the Federal Election Commission. That's after the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries — and the same day as Florida's primary — essentially leaving voters in the dark about who might be influencing campaigns for the White House.
The heavy influence of super PACs has been in line with what political operatives and campaign-finance watchdogs have long anticipated this election, following a handful of federal court cases — including the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling in 2010 — that stripped away some limits on campaign contributions. The new super PACs can't coordinate directly with campaigns, but many of them that are active in this election are staffed by longtime supporters of the candidates.
Campaign finance watchdogs have long criticized the super PAC donations. Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer has said big-dollar donations have been arranged in a manner to circumvent federal disclosure laws. The PACs, for their part, say they're simply following established rules and exercising their free-speech rights.

okay, this is a disscusion blog, or meant to be. If you didn't know, Jesse was supposed to die in the season 1 finale, but they got cut two episodes short due to writer's strike. Now, this minisode I am about to post features a deleted scene from episodes 5 - 7 of season 1, forgot which one exactlly.This video features Badger and Walt working together on a "heist" to get money out of a vacuum cleaner Skyler sold that had some money in it that Walt was hiding. Yes, the video is funny, but my point is, they worked together...
And because of that, I think if Jesse were to have died, Badger would become the "new Jesse" and start helping Walt out. I highly think this because Matt Jones - Badger - has a bigger role in season 2 than any, maybe he was promised to have a role as Walt's partner but plans changed and the actor threatened to quit but they offered him so many episodes for so much money, it's possible. If you look at season 3 he had like four episodes, season 4 and 5 he had 1 in each. Season 1, 2, maybe 3. And season 2, like 7!
I am glad he was a bigger role in season 2, don't get me wrong, but I believe this was the original plan... I've been thinking on this for a while, and what is Badger took over the business IF Walt and Jesse die? Or, do you think Badger will die in Part 2?
I hope in S5B he has a bigger role, maybe 5 or even 6 out of the 8 episodes, I think since Mike is gone and Walt didn't mind them (all the time...) that they should join Jesse (I believe he's not done cooking) and/or Todd. I like when they are part of Walt's empire. Pete, Badger, Jesse, Walt, Todd, Ira, etc. would be an awesome team!
I'll keep you posted with my therioes

I have recently worked on player illustrations for Juventus for their match day promotions. These were used on their social media channels and on their official website.
I will have more work to show on this project soon...
I really wanted to create an image for the upcoming McGregor vs Mayweather fight and this style seemed to fit perfectly
More to show soon
I have always been intrigued by stained glass window designs and I thought it would be a great experiment to try and create my own illustrations using a similar style.
I picked Yaya Toure to illustrate because he had just scored the goal that had won Man City the FA Cup and I liked the idea of him being represented as a knight or angel figure.
I would love to do more of these type of designs in the future and I hope to have a real window made some day.
The Guardian asked me to help with an animated video they were producing to show how Chelsea FC won the Premier League title. You can view the final video here:
I recently worked with Music design agency and Manchester City FC on their promotional work for the Champions league games with Monaco.
These were used in the stadium around the pitch, in the programme, advertising and as animated gifs on their social media channels
My latest piece for Arsenal is of their legendary captain Patrick Vieira. This was made into an animated GIF for use on their social media channels
I had the great honour of once again of being asked to provide illustrations for the FA Cup programme.
Arsenal FC have commissioned me to illustrate their players past and present for use across their social media channels. More to show soon!
The guys behind the 2016/17 'Season Annual' book invited me to submit illustrations for the Manchester United vs Bournemouth game. A game made famous by Zlatan getting his head stamped on, leading to him later that game elbowing his aggressor powerfully in the face.
The book is great and features some amazing illustrators. Find out more here: www.seasonannual.com
BT Sport asked me if I would like to take part in their Champions league illustration competition #championsdraw.
I feel very proud to be involved in the competition which features some really great illustrators.
I really want to make it to the final but if I don't it was still great to be featured.
Arsenal FC commissioned me to illustrate the Emirates stadium for use on the spines of their programmes for the 2016/17 season.
It was great to see the final image at the end of the season.
I was recently commissioned by Manchester City fc to illustrate their players for their Chinese New Year good will messages. These were used on gifts for fans in China, their website and on digital screens in Manchester City Centre.
I also worked with them back in 2012 for their City Kicks promotions where they were used on their website, match day programmes and for a permanent wall display inside the Etihad Stadium.
I really enjoyed this project and was very honoured to be invited to the ground for an interview about my work. You can see the video on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhzGF8eO4eM
The best bit of the project was when Man City showed me the videos of the players seeing their portraits for the first time.
I've been experimenting a lot lately with geometric designs and I'm really happy with the results.
More to show soon
ESPN commissioned me to create some drawn illustrations of the Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic for an article by James Horncastle.
You can view the page here: http://es.pn/218ka8N
I have taken part in two 'Patterns of Play' exhibitions and for each event I have produced a new artwork relevant to the theme. The latest show was in London and the theme was the European championships for which I reproduced the classic Gazza goal from 1996. I was even mentioned on TalkSport about the work,
The first of the exhibitions was held in Norwich at the Moosey Art gallery and the theme was Norwich football. I created a stained glass style illustration of Alex Neil which I'm really proud of.
I developed this style to see how simple I could take an illustration but still maintain a strong likeness.
Since posting these examples on social media I have now been commissioned by a major newspaper to create illustrations for a feature. More to show very soon...
I had the honour of creating illustrations for the 2016 Charity Shield programme cover for the FA.
I'm really happy with the finished result.
Some of my football based illustrations of stars from the beautiful game
More to come soon...
BT Sport commissioned me to illustrate the UFC194 fighters Aldo and McGregor for their huge title fight in Las Vegas on 12 December 2015.
I really enjoyed this project and I was really happy to use my geometric style.
I was recently commissioned by Talk Sport magazine to provide illustrations for their Real Madrid piece. This was the first issue of their new look redesigned style approach and I was really happy to be involved.
It was also a great feeling to see my illustrations on the homepage of the 'It's nice that' website
Trying out a new style which I really want to keep as simple as possible but produce a quality likeness. More to follow...
ESPN commissioned me to illustrate Real Madrid super star Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for data visual web pages they were building to highlight their amazing achievements.
ESPN did an amazing job of communicating the statistics of their achievements by creating parallax scrolling pages to animate the data. You can visit the sites using these links:
I recently worked with Creative Spark to create a series of poster designs for a Manchester United fc and Epson competition.
Fans from across Europe were asked to send in inspiring tweets about the team and then the players chose their favourite. The winning entries were then applied to the final poster designs.
You can see the players choosing there favourite here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWi_eyIlYeE
I have been working with Toulouse FC to create a series of illustrations for their anniversary product range.
See them here: http://bit.ly/2pgBIXW
I had the great pleasure of being asked by Hull City Football Club to illustrate their squad for the 2014/15 season.
They plan to show one player at a time in their match day programmes.
More to show soon...
I wanted to try something a bit different with my football badge designs and i'm really happy with the result. I hope to do more of these soon with some other top players
A fan of my work saw my Cantona playing card design and asked me if I could do one of his favourite All Blacks rugby player Richie McCaw. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and the prints looked great.
If you would like to commission me for a one off piece please email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
I recently had the great pleasure of being asked by Nottingham Forest to visit the City Ground for an interview for an football art feature in their match day programme. They gave me an opportunity to showcase a couple of my Forest based illustrations and I really enjoyed the whole experience.
I am a very big fan of Brian Clough and his whole philosophy of the game so I really enjoyed doing this illustration of him which also featured my favourite quote of his.
I have now been featured in the Man City, Hull City and Nottingham Forest programmes and I would love to be featured in more in the future.
The week before the World Cup final I was contacted by German Newspaper 'Sonntag Aktuell'. They asked if they could use my Muller and Messi illustrations in their paper for the day of the final. It was only when they sent the pdf visual that I realised they'd used it on the cover!
A great moment was when a German follower of my work said that he'd seen the paper and recognised my style of illustration.
SECRET 7" IS AN ANNUAL EVENT THAT COMBINES MUSIC AND ART FOR A GOOD CAUSE. They take 7 tracks from 7 of the best-known musicians around and press each one 100 times to 7" vinyl. They then invite creatives from around the world to interpret the tracks in their own 7" cover design.
I chose the song 'Grounds for Divorce' by Elbow to illustrate and I was very happy when it was chosen to be used in the show. I listened to the song about 100 times to find the best way I felt the cover could be represented. These are the lyrics which inspired my piece:
"...There's a hole in my neighbourhood,

I loved doing this illustration and I'm glad to say someone bought the cover (phew!). My wife and I travelled to London for the show and it was great to see my work sat next to some really amazing work.

Tags: Apple, Galay S3, iPhone, iPhone 5, launch, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Spetember 12th.

There is one topic that is dominating the mobile tech world this week, and that is the Apple iPhone 5. September 12th, 2012 has long been the rumored date for the unveiling of the successor to the iPhone 4S and that date has proven to be spot on. As always, Apple has been unforthcoming about what is in store at Wednesday's media event in San Francisco but has hinted keenly that the world will see the latest iPhone for the first time.
If September 12th is the date that it is unveiled, then the market launch date of September 21st should also be pretty accurate. If so, this will mean that the iPhone 5 goes on sale just nine days before the end of the fiscal fourth quarter, and will need to sell big to make up for the poor sales figures posted by the iPhone in the last quarter.
Rumors of the new iPhone led to a drop in Q3 sales of current iPhone models, and while many of these customers are likely to be holding out for the new model rather than purchasing a rival handset, Apple has still fallen short of Wall Street estimates.
Nine News Finance has reported that Apple analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray has come up with fourth-quarter iPhone sales between 26 and 28 million, based on the iPhone 5 being released on September 21st. The story says that Munster's figures suggest the new iPhone will sell anywhere between 6 and 10 million units in one week!
Last year's iPhone 4S posted first week sales of 4 million compared to 1.7 million iPhone 4 sales from 2010, so a big jump is not out of the question. The difference this year is the market that the iPhone 5 is entering into.
When launched in October of last year, the iPhone 4S was pretty much unrivaled in the market. This year is much different. Samsung has surpassed Apple with the Galaxy S3 and Nokia and Motorola have both announced new phones backed by billions of dollars in marketing. The Galaxy S3 outselling the iPhone 4S has proven that Apple no longer has its own way when it comes to topping the market. With the smartphone competition much tougher, there is a chance that Apple will not meet analyst expectations once again this quarter; however, if anyone can handle expectations it is definitely Apple.
