P7 wins best over ear headphone over at Toms Hardware
I'd say that there are better products but maybe out of production or for a much higher price.
Well done B&W.
hey guys, Need some helps for my p7. I received mine about a week ago from amazon. It sound great all songs, except fews songs I will list below. I can heard distortions when deep bass come in, but only happen on my right side driver. is it normal or I am having a pair with defective driver on right side?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - track 21 - Procession (Apple lossless)
The dark knight rise - track 18 time 0:55 - The end (AAC, 256Kbps)
Skyrim - track 1 - dragon born (Apple lossless)
I test with my other headphones senheiser IE8 and apple earbud , and b&w mm1 speaker. I cannot heard any distortion from those's playback.
I think i am the unlucky one.
My p7's right side driver have fizzle noise when playing this song both on youtube version and apple loseless version from my mac.
Harry potter track procession
YES, only right side driver! because I edit the apple lossless version in audacity and swap left and right channels and test still found the noise from right driver only......
My p7 only 1 week old and it got shipped from amazon US to asia ... I wonder if it has warrenty under cover by US's B&W and how I send them for repair or exchange.
Thanks for your advice.
I just contact them and they arranged an exchange for me immediately and my new p7 would deliver to me by next wednesday!
This is actually a golden service for oversea purchaser...
I did aswell, those imperfections were driving me crazy sometimes, also I had a smugde of glue in the grill that encloses the driver, I sent them back and still waiting for a replacement hopwfully they will be perfect this time.
no imperfections in the earcup whatsoever? mine had like ridges in one of the earcup edges where they meet the chrome which I find unaceptable for a luxury product, plus a smudge of glue in the grill.
Was there ever a updated p5 or p3?
I don't think the p7s need an update anyways.
Anyone paired them with audioengine d1 or any fiio products?
i have the p7 and tried pairing it with e07, e17, e17+e09, e17+superlux ha3d and e07 Ha3d. I love the e17+e09 combo best then e17+superlux ha3d. the e17+09 combo makes a versatile combo for this headphones - you will be amazed specially if you try some binaural tracks. Been comparing it with my shure 1540 - although they have very different sound sig in my opinion - i find that the shure has wider sound stage and more airy - the alcantara pads on that one may have played a major role on that. Unfortunately, I find the p7 to be a bit more clamping on my head - and the leather pads tend to get warmer and less comfortable compared to the alcantara pads of the shure. Both are really well-rounded cans even when un-amped, but from experience, the shure scales more readily than the p7 with better driver and amp. now trying the p7 with my ifi-chain setup (with itube). I am not sure about this but at slightly higher volumes with the +6db buffer turned on, i am noticing very slight sibilance. But i have to listen more to be sure - it may just very well be the shots of whisky i had 30 minutes back. lol. overall, if you have the e17, try to drive the p7 from usb or optical - go with optical if you dont have good quality usb cable as you will more likely to notice some noise - however slight - with a cheapo one. and if you have the e09 or a better amp - bypass the e17 built-in amp and you will hear the p7 to open up noticeably. Still, I think the AKG550 has bigger sound stage for a closed-back headphone compared to it, but the amount, speed and detail of bass on the P7 is better than the 550. I'd say the AKG 550 sounds like you are having a date while there is a live performance going on - the p7 on the other hand is more intimate - it's like your date is singing at you! :D I may try comparing it with the hd800 just for kicks - but the dac-amp to use is to be determined. all that being said, im a new at trying to be critical/analytical of how cans sound - so i may have messed up some terms here and there - so please be forgiving ;)
which amp are you using to power the hd650? I am also considering them to complement my p7 but I went to test it out and I wasn't really that impressed
I am listening to the HD650 with just a Dragonfly. I can't justify much more at this time. I don't get much time to listen to the 650's. The Dragonfly drives them pretty well, though I haven't heard them with better.
My P7's have a crease now right at the top of my headband. I'm not sure if a coworker pulled them too far when putting them on, if I did it without noticing, or if it just happened over time. Does anyone else see anything like this? I bought mine from Best Buy with the warranty, so I'm sure i can just get them swapped out. I'm just wondering if something in my headband snapped or if this is just normal after extended use (4 hours give or take per day for about 6 months.)
is it just the leather creasing? I think creasing on the leather is normal with extended usage (4 hours a day for 6 months is quite heavy usage).
Need you guys who own P7 to pay attention here @_@.
I received my replacement unit from amazon yesterday~
In first test with 2nd pair, I still hear very minor distortion (fizzling noise) in the songs I had troubles with first pair.
Then I put it burn in with ipod classic for 24 hours.
Now some songs I didnt have trouble of noise with first pair, 2nd pair produces serious fizzling noise like your headphone is blown !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMJ9G-JjSfE - Skyrim - Tooth and claw - The fizzling noise start from 0:38
Another test song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMPSKHC_ddo Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2 - Procession
The noise only PRESENTs on Right Side Driver on both pairs.
I have these songs in apple lossless format on my mac, and I edit them with audacity , swap the left and right channel, test it again, and the noise ONLY appears on RIGHT channel.
I suspect the right side driver is created unequally or have design flaw, or the cable that connect left to right might be having quality issue.
Guys, please confirm with me that your pair have no issue or have issue like mine.

Re: Super Wildlife Mafia: Play it here
Alright, I'll post Night now.
Night Five: A prostitute among animals
All the animals were busy searching for Kantos under the bright moonlight. The tiger and the lion, the panther and the crocodile were all our hunting for the Centaur but the one who found him was the the peacock. The centaur went with the peacock to her cave, where the beautiful bird gave the Centaur special services for the night. Deep inside the cave, Kantos was safe from any and all threats...
In the mean time, Sticksy, Lostfan and Wesson were searching for Kantos together. They went past the bushes and the spirit of the dead elephant wandered away from the other two. Slowly walking forward, Sticky saw a shadow approaching. He went forwards with every intention of facing it but the black panther was far too vicious at this point. Without his partner, the Panther was aggravated that he needed to kill someone. Unfortunately he picked a person with no meat on his body. The spirit of the elephant was destroyed. The bigger, stronger, more powerful bodyguard had died a second time. It had no parchment.
Same role as before except that he could protect himself and not die from protecting. Aligned to the Lion
The centaur came from the cave the next morning to find that the water level was rising. Most of the animals had escaped the waterways but three carcasses were floating in the water. One was the peacock that he spent the night with. In its fragile state, it had been swept away by the currents. In it's marvelous feathers was the parchment
You are the owner of the most prized feather in the forest, the
hot peacock
. You can probably guess that youre the whore in the game. You usually only service the king but he hates your beak so youve moved on to other animals.
He still lends you one of his caves to stay in
Each night
, you can drag away an animal and prevent them from using their role but they will also be protected from kills. Other roles can still affect them. PM me the name of the player that youd like to block/protect and it shall be done.
"Josie's days as a prostitute are over"
The second carcass belonged to the Giraffe. Too big to fit inside any cave or hiding place, the giraffe's only option was to hold its head as high as possible but the water level was too much to withstand. Unable to swim for the entire night, the giraffe had drowned.
You are a
long necked Giraffe
, the daybreaker of this game. With your neck, you can survey the entire forest and all its animals. You have joined the king because he has promised you supreme charge.
You stay in the grasslands and graze for most of your days
any one day
of your choice, you can break the day and take full power. PM me when you want to use this and I'll make the announcement. You will be revealed to the forest and they will have to make their case to you because you alone hold the sole power for that days lynch. You can do this only once so be aware that it will be crucial but dont waste it either. You will win if the tiger and all of his comrades are killed.
"sXe leaves again"
The third carcass was the one that gave Kantos the maximum lulz. Not having been able to carry out a kill that night because of the peacock's interference, the tiger was cast away from all the animals out of spite. He had drowned, trying to escape back to his cave outside the perimeter of the forest. The animals were coming out to see the floating body of the fallen tiger as Kantos stood on a pillar, laughing his ass off.
Welcome to the Jungle, I mean it. You are the invader, the threat to society. You will find animals and bite their skin off. If they dont die immediately, you eat them limb after limb so they suffer the maximum amount of punishment that can possibly be afflicted on any living soul. If you have better ideas to cause pain, make sure to PM me about it so I can add them to night posts and stuff. Anyway, you are the
tiger of legend
, aligned to nobody else but you. You have managed to recruit animals that have been cast aside like you but their support can only get you so far.
Your objective is to rid the forest of all those who oppose you and eliminate the King and become the next ruler of the jungle. You will PM me the name of a player every night and you will go out and hunt them down yourself. Each night, you can only follow one player. If any night, you do not wish to go out and kill, then you will be safe from any and all animals that come looking for you and your teammates will guard your
cave outside the forest
. If you wish to lie dormant, you can inform me via PM.
Your partners
Tiny Bat
Stupid Hyena
Hard-Skinned Crocodile
"Wesson, God of Mafia has left!"
All the chaos caused by the Centaur gave Kantos a tremendous satisfaction. Unbelievable, right? So many deaths in one night because of the flood and stuff. Granted the tiger had gone but Kantos was killing everybody with his flood. He had to go
Night begins once again because of the Unicorn's death. Send in teh roles, guis

MASON CITY, Iowa – After a lot of planning, the North Iowa Fair kicks off this afternoon and we have a lot planned to bring you.
The fair officially began at noon on Wednesday and will continue throughout the weekend.
We stopped by earlier this morning to see some of the last minute preparations.
Vendors were just arriving, and 4-H kids were getting their animals cleaned and ready to go.
Organizers say planning for the North Iowa Fair takes about a year.
"We actually start as soon as the fair ends the year before and we just keep on working straight through. There's a lot that goes into it, a lot of great work on a lot of people's parts," says Event Planner, Robin McClelland.

Retail chain Gamestop is getting a sales boost these days from what would appear to be an unlikely source.
The company's director of retail digital distribution Brad Schliesser told VentureBeat that customers have been purchasing DLC codes alongside games more than any other item in stores.
"DLC for us attaches better to a physical game than any other accessory or add-on that we have in our company--whether it's a headset, a controller, or strategy guide--because it's so easy for the consumer to understand what it is they're getting," Schliesser said.
Schliesser cites Mass Effect 3 and its day-one $10 DLC From Ashes, which made it into the hands of 50 per cent of those who purchased the title.
The director explained one of the major keys to selling the attached DLC is having employees on hand to help pitch and elaborate on the digital content to customers who've already committed to buying the base game.
"The most important thing that we found is the associates in the store drive the business. They understand what content is. It's easy for them to sell content to a customer when that customer is buying a copy of the game... From very early on, we understood that we had to do a good job of not only educating the consumer but also educating the person behind the counter."

We can't have the physique of Sexyama without working for it! I mean seriously, we all frequent a forum which is dedicated to a sport that requires it's participants to be in peak physical shape.

My picture is acting up, I'll try uploading on a different computer. |
I'm thinking about it. My body is protesting more than I expected. Still... it felt good to work out. I haven't been able to really do that for a while.
Phone is having an issue uploading picture. I will post later. Was 178. I've gotten seriously fat. Also glad I did this. I'm competing in a month and was thinking I was much lighter.

Got my picture, just got to find my phones USB haha, nice to see so many people signing up to this!
I weighed in at 222 pounds, which is depressing to say the least! Did a workout yesterday and ate as well as possible, feeling pretty sore today though :P Good luck all! Edit - Heres the weight picture, ignore my incredibly awesome stary pajamas..;) |
Here we go:
I weighed in yesterday morning at 183.6lbs. Ive probably got maybe 10lb of body fat to lose. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/y...C25F50DA6E.jpg I took some 'before' shots, which i'm going to post now, to shame myself into losing the gut. My goal is to lose the fat while maintaining as much muscle as possible. (which is a lot less than 6 months ago :D) Ate really well yesterday and ran 2 and a half miles last night. Todays plan is to get the kettle bell out tonight and do some body weight exercises like press ups and sit ups as well. Im doing this whole thing without the use of a gym. |
Forgot to weigh yesterday, did it today.
89 kgs - 196.2 lbs Hopefully i'm gonna be able to lose, 15-20 pounds. |

Since my iPhone is derping I'll just say I weighed in at 169.0 and I'll get the picture up one way or another. |

Eddie: I really want to see that new Abraham Lincoln movie. It's supposed to be really good.
Me: Sure. I like vampire history movies.
Eddie: No. It's the historical movie about Lincoln's life.
Me: Yea. I know. He's a vampire hunter. And also my favorite president.
Eddie: Abraham Lincoln is not a vampire hunter.
Me: Don't be silly. That guy found his diary and wrote a book. We both read it!
Eddie: I'm not going to win this argument am I?
Me: Who's arguing? We can go see the new fictional movie on Lincoln if you want. I can pick out which of the cast members are probably vamps. I'm awesome at that.
Eddie: Sigh....
And just to prove that I am probably related to Abraham Lincoln and his long lineage of vampire hunting family...
This was my first time wielding an axe at my glorious friend Nicole's house. She lives in the wilderness. |
Under the close watch of Richard Gere, I became a champion. He was the Mickey to my Rocky Balboa. |
Fuck YEA! I made wood my bitch (in a total non-pornographic way). |
Then we burned the wood. And sang songs about chopping wood. And drank a plethora of beer to the memory of the wood. There was pizza too. And beer... Did I mention beer? |
I'm also pretty fucking handy with a chainsaw. In case you were wondering. |
Thanks to all my wonderful friends who trusted me enough to put an axe, a chainsaw and beer in my hands, all in the same day. You don't find many people in life that trust you on that level. Well, me... Anyway. Because apparently I'm the person at the top of the office pool who will be the first to snap and go shit crazy one day. So, when you find people who will love you and give you weapons (and beer) without much fear in their eyes... Well, people.. You... You hold the fuck on to those motherfuckers and you Never. Let. Go.
Unless they get bit by a zombie, that is. Then you blow their fucking heads off.

I'm trying to create a MIDI translator patch that takes controller input from my MIDI keyboard on channel 1, adds a bank select feature to multiply the number of virtual knobs, then sends the CCs out to Logic 9 using ctlout objects set to channel 2 on the From Max MSP 1 port. My problem is that the CCs are still being sent on channel 1 straight from the keyboard to Logic, so I guess I need some kind of MIDI grabber object that would intercept the messages before they go to Logic and send them into Max first. I know that in Ableton I could just open the preferences and de-select my keyboard as a MIDI input, but I can't seem to find anywhere in Logic's preferences that allows me to disengage specific MIDI ports. How can I get around this?
You can do this in Logic's environment, click&ports layer.
Cable the port you want to disable from physical inputs to a new monitor object as "dead end".
(This way the port is "subtracted" from the sum outlet.)
Note however that
A – blocking a port at the Physical Input object will not block messages from getting to Logic's control surface layer or its midi-learn functionality (very annoying), and
B – Logic may rearrange the port order on the Physical Input object if MIDI devices are added or removed, so the saved state in a song may not be correct for the current MIDI setup, just keep that in mind.
Alternately, you can try using MidiPipe's "hijack port" ability to block a port from Logic's stupid greediness. Do that after starting Max, before you start Logic.
Thanks for the tips, guess I'll have to try and use MidiPipe to strip the signal from Logic, cause I hate nothing more than conflicting MIDI messages.
Why exactly are you trying to do this?

Well at least my Durango. But really how can one "love" a vehicle? I normally save that word for my wife. "Like", "Like alot", and "care about" just about covers everything else. OOppps getting off track again.
I really like my Durango. I guess it falls under the catigory of SUV. But I am growing concerned about the future of these vehicles. Just this morning down the road about an eighth of a mile there is one that is turned over. A firetruck and a couple of EMS went that away. Don't know how bad it is.
It seems every night on the news, when I manage to watch it, I hear about another one (SUV) roll-over. How do people do that? Never mind I know how. I just hate to believe that the worlds only reasoning animal (man) is careless enough to do these things to him/her self. Some body the other day drifted onto the shoulder and over corrected. flipped the SUV. I think one was killed and another badly injured. Why do people think they have to yank the vehicle, no matter what kind, back onto the highway? Just simply steer the thing gently back over.
PANIC!!!!! That is one of the contributing factors of most accidents. No I haven't done a scientific study on it, but I have heard enough stories.
I believe for the most part people hop into their vehicles and drive. UMMMM perhaps "guide", or maybe "steer", are better used here instead of "drive". They never think or make plans about what to do if such and such should happen. And when it does happen they have no idea of what to do about it. Most people have been taught to hit the brake. Not the best thing in the world to do in a lot of cases.
Not bragging, (and knocking on wood as I write this) but just hoping by sharing some of this information it will help a few people out.
As long as I can remember I have always thought about situations that could arise as I am driving. And what would be the best course of action should something like that ever happen. And the key is to replay it over and over in your mind.
Surely there is a route everyone takes on a dailey bases. You see that stop sign. What will you do if someone comes blowing through there? Think of you being at different distances from that intersection and the other vehicle going at different speeds. What are your options. As I said hitting the brake isn't always the best thing to do. If that is the case, where can you go? A small twig of a tree or a bush is easier to hit than a car. A car is easier to hit than a large tree. A curb might mess up your alienment but thats easier and cheeper than a weeks stay in the hospital, or a funeral. Lawns can be repaired and grass planted again. Fences, depending on the material is either easy or hard to get through.
I'm gonna tell you a story now of when I was young and stupid. I was zipping along a two lane black top. My speed-o-meter said I was doing eighty, but I knew with the over sized tires I was doing over 100mph. I saw a glitter of something over the top of this field of tall sunflowers to my left. About the time I figured out it was a spot light on the headache rack of a pick-up I realized it was going too fast to stop.
Now keep in mind all of this happens faster than you can read it. Yes even if your a speed reader.
Here is what the other driver did. He finally realized there was a stop sign, he was already on top of it, but went ahead and SLAMMED on the breaks. I don't think this helped at all as he was on loose gravel and proceeded to slid straight out in front of me.
Everything for me went into slow motion. I saw the pick-up emerge from the hidden side road. I saw the look on the passengers face when she saw me headed for her door. As my right foot left the gas peddal and hoovered over the brake a thought went through my mind, "OH Heck. We're all dead any way." And for what ever reason I slammed my foot back down on the accelerator. I steered hard to the right and then hard to the left. I went into the "apron" of the side road to the right and back out onto the black top. The pick-up missing my left side by about.... Well another coat of paint and he would have hit me. I kept going. The pick-up finally came to a stop after clearing the road and sat there until I was out of sight.
I have often thought about what would have happened if I did panic and just slammed on the brake skidding right into the door where that woman was sitting.
I believe that because of thinking about different possiblities I have managed to avoid a lot of accidents before I even realized there was one about to happen. There is no time wasted thinking about it, I just react. But that doesn't apply to the situation above. I believe that was handled by someone higher up.
So back to SUV. If you drive one of those things, they are not a sports car. They are top heavey. They are more likely to roll over in an abrupt manuever. They do have an advantage. You can see over a lot of the other vehicles and could notice what is going on ahead of you even if the car in front of you can not. Drive at least a quarter of a mile ahead of yourself. PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. Contemplate what other drivers are going to do, or not do. Remember, you are the only one out there with any sense. This goes for all vehicles not just SUVs.

Pistorius seeks deal with dead lover's family–report|
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa's Paralympic sprint star Oscar Pistorius is trying to negotiate an out-of-court compensation deal with the parents of his slain lover Reeva Steenkamp, a local newspaper said Tuesday.
Lawyers for Pistorius, who goes on trial in March on murder charges for shooting dead Steenkamp, are mulling a settlement for emotional stress and loss of income, The Times reported.
They reportedly want the matter settled before trial opens on March 3 next year.
The Steenkamp family lawyer Petrus de Bruyn confirmed discussions were underway, but refused to give details.
"We have both said that we are in talks with each other and that's all we are prepared to say," he told Agence France-Presse.
The paper said Pistorius's lawyer Kenny Oldwage had also spoken of talks with the Steenkamp family.
But when contacted by AFP, Oldwage said: "I am not aware of these discussions and I can't comment."
Steenkamp and her half-brother had financially supported their parents, who are pensioners.
The support had included paying rent for their house in the southern coastal city of Port Elizabeth.
The parents are reportedly planning to lodge a civil suit claiming three million rand ($300,000) in damages.
The 26-year-old Pistorius wept and prayed in court on Monday before being served with his indictment for murder and given his trial date.
Steenkamp, a blonde cover girl and law graduate who would have turned 30 on Monday, died in the bathroom of Pistorius's upmarket Pretoria home in the early hours of February 14.
The double amputee athlete known as "Blade Runner", who is currently out on bail, has admitted to killing Steenkamp but denied murder, saying he shot her through a locked bathroom door because he believed she was an intruder.
Prosecutors will argue he is guilty of premeditated murder.

My herbs are still growing tall with nary a wilt nor a tarnish from the cold nights that now descend upon us each evening.
But the last rose of summer is always a bit of a surprise and filled with the greatest of beauty, more so than in the summer.
So a bit of nostalgia as summer ends and Autumn begins to take over with glistening jewels in the forest and skies of azure.
Take a toast to the last of summer...

McConnell On Sterling Punishment: 'Sounds Pretty Good To Me'

McConnell made the comments on Tuesday, just after news broke that Sterling had been banned from the organization and would be fined $2.5 million (the maximum allowed under the NBA's constitution) in response to racist remarks published by the website TMZ.
McConnell called Sterling's comments "outrageous, unacceptable comments." On the punishments handed down by the NBA, McConnell said "sounds pretty good to me."

Fall Reception Honoring Retiring Faculty
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Friday marks a momentous occasion in the history of UNF not just because we are graduating another class of students, but because of the graduation into retirement of so many of our colleagues, and particularly so many of them who quite literally built this university. The honor owed to our retirees is reflected in the number of people who have chosen to attend this reception: representatives of our board of trustees; President Delaney and many members of his staff; our deans and associate deans and department chairs; former president Anne Hopkins; and members of Academic Affairs.
We are here this evening not just to wish you well in retirement, but more immediately to thank you for your extraordinary contributions to this university and to the countless students who you had the opportunity to educate over the past 35 years. With regard to those students, it is clear from the devotion of our alumni (e.g., Chuck Ged) that long before we adopted the concept of the TLO as an official initiative of the university, you were transforming lives in ways that still mark a UNF education as special. And with regard to UNF, if you will permit the folklorist to allude to a folktale, like Rumpelstiltskin you transmuted straw into gold, or at least mud and mortar into a large and complex institution whose potential for greatness seems to me to be fully within our reach.
Many of you are aware that I have been leading a task force to revise our university's mission statement and, perhaps even more importantly, to express our ambitions for the future of UNF in the form of a vision statement. I would like to read a few lines of that vision statement to you. It begins:
"The University of North Florida, a preeminent public institution of higher learning, will serve its metropolitan region at a level of national quality."
My guess is that 35 years ago, dreamers that you may have been, such a claim might have seemed outlandish. Today, as a result of the effort of the retirees in this room, I believe our aspiration is highly credible.
The second line reads: "The university will provide distinctive programs in the liberal arts and professional fields whose graduates will make vital contributions to the intellectual advancement of Jacksonville, North Florida, and the world beyond." Once again, I believe that our retirees can claim enormous credit for having touched the lives of so many students who are themselves touching the lives of so many others.
And finally, skipping to the last sentence of the vision: "Students, faculty, staff, and visitors will enjoy a campus noteworthy for it communal spirit, cultural richness, and environmental beauty."
In this last regard, the UNF of the future will be utterly continuous with the UNF of the past and present. The legacy of community that you are leaving to those of us who still have the privilege and pleasure of working here is no less significant than the programs you have built and the student you have taught. It is what makes UNF feel like an extended family, and it is why we will always regard you as its founding mothers and fathers.

Orwin, Kate and Kirschbaum, Miko U. F. and St John, Mark G. and Dickie, Ian A. (2011) Organic nutrient uptake by mycorrhizal fungi enhances ecosystem carbon storage:a model-based assessment. Ecology Letters, 14 (5). pp. 493-502. ISSN 1461-023X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Understanding the factors that drive soil carbon (C) accumulation is of fundamental importance given their potential to mitigate climate change. Much research has focused on the relationship between plant traits and C sequestration, but no studies to date have quantitatively considered traits of their mycorrhizal symbionts. Here, we use a modelling approach to assess the contribution of an important mycorrhizal fungal trait, organic nutrient uptake, to soil C accumulation. We show that organic nutrient uptake can significantly increase soil C storage, and that it has a greater effect under nutrient-limited conditions. The main mechanism behind this was an increase in plant C fixation and subsequent increased C inputs to soil through mycorrhizal fungi. Reduced decomposition due to increased nutrient limitation of saprotrophs also played a role. Our results indicate that direct uptake of nutrients from organic pools by mycorrhizal fungi could have a significant effect on ecosystem C cycling and storage.

Shayne Hale will admit that, so far, his Pitt career hasn't gone exactly as planned.
Ranked as a four-star linebacker by Rivals.com coming out of Gateway High School four years ago, Hale looked like a future anchor for the middle of the Panthers defense.
After redshirting his freshman year, Hale shifted to defensive end. He played in just seven games in 2009 and two in 2010. Last year, he appeared in one game, registering a single tackle.
It would be easy for a player in Hale's position to quietly fade away. Plenty of times, players like that simply get lost when a program goes through yet another coaching shuffle.
Hale made sure that didn't happen to him.
This spring, Hale, a redshirt senior, won Pitt's Ed Conway Award, given annually to one offensive and one defensive player who show the most improvement during spring practice.
"Coming into my senior year, I just told myself to throw it all out there," Hale said. "This is the last go-round. You've got to make things happen and just have fun doing it. Fly around every play and just make every day like it's your last."
After the impressive spring, Hale is in position to earn some serious playing time this fall, and could even start along the Panthers defensive line. He totaled three tackles in Pitt's Blue-Gold scrimmage April 14.
Coming into spring ball, Hale said he particularly wanted to improve how he used his hands on the line, but noted that he tried to work on something different every day at practice.
Hale also said he has really clicked with the new coaching staff, particularly defensive coordinator Dave Huxtable and defensive line coach Inoke Breckterfield.
"These are guys I can't wait to play for. I'd go to the end of the road for these guys and I know they'd do the same for me," Hale said. "I just felt I owed them because they put in all the hours that they have watching film and breaking stuff down to teach us better and make us better players."
Hale, like all of the Panthers, has had to make some adjustments with the program making a coaching change for the second year in a row. Schematically, though, he said the system implemented by new head coach Paul Chryst is similar to the one he played in under former Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt.
He specifically pointed to Chryst's philosophy of building a gameplan around players' skill sets, rather than trying to force players into a pre-determined system.
"It seemed like we were trying to do too much in the past, but now [the coaches] are making a defense off of their players," he said. "The schemes and everything are built around what we have."
Hale also said he finally feels comfortable at the defensive end position.
"My head was always at linebacker, and even at defensive end, I was thinking I was a linebacker," he said. "Now I feel I've bought in full at defensive lineman."
Hale has bought in as one of the team's leaders, as well. After the Blue-Gold game, Chryst said that was one reason Hale earned the Conway award.
"If we're going to be the best team we can be this year, we need great senior leadership," Chryst said.
Hale said he has noticed his teammates looking to him for advice and motivation. While he admitted he is "not a guy who gets all wild and rah-rah-rah," Hale said he has enjoyed taking a leadership role.
"I appreciate it," he said. "It just makes you feel good that these guys look up to you and look for your advice."
Given the trajectory of his career to date, it may have seemed unlikely that Hale would be in a position to be dispensing advice. But here he is, a senior with one last chance, ready to make the most of it.

About CapApex LLC
CapApex was created to help companies that traditionally would struggle with enterprise software implementation and were ultimately unsatisfied with the results. Many of these implementation projects placed an unrealistic and unnecessary workload on the people in the business. The results, unfortunately, were far too often projects that were over-budget, under-scope and low on quality. CapApex believes that implementing enterprise software should not only provide an excellent return on investment but also a realistic path to success. The goal is to provide companies with the tools and processes that fit the business as well as the technology.

They gave the game an "above average" rating of 67%, saying that the design is "monotonous", the magic takes too long to recharge, and that there is minimal plot involvement. What say you, Sal Magicpants?
Sal does agree that the single player is a few skulls short from an exemplary trophy case, though calling it "monotonous" is unfair.
But obviously the boys over at Gamer didn't give the multiplayer a shot, as this is where the power of Rune truly shines. Perhaps they were frightened at the thought of having their collective head sliced off by my trusty blade...and for good reason.

She posted her latest track on her website Sunday, without a heads-up or explanation.
If there ever were a question as to who runs the Beyoncé/Jay-Z household, here's your answer: It's Beyoncé. According to Beyoncé, she wears the proverbial pants in the household, if not onstage.
The singer posted her new track, Bow Down/I Been On, on her website Sunday, without a heads-up or explanation, according to Newsday.The singer's halftime performance at the Super Bowl was a hit, but her other recent projects haven't been as well received: Her self-directed HBO documentary got mixed reviews, and her performance at President Obama's inauguration turned into a lip-syncing scandal.
Sample lyrics: "I took some time to live my life/ But don't think I'm just his little wife."
And: "Bow down, (expletive)."
Produced by Hit Boy, the man behind Jay-Z and Kanye West's eyebrow-raising In Paris, the boastful Bow Down/I Been On suggests that her upcoming tour Mrs. Carter World Tour will be more Sasha Fierce than nice Beyoncé.

Hey Duders,
Did you miss any of the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo press conferences? Or any of the Giant Bomb chat room experiences that came with those press conferences? Well, bully for you, because I went ahead and recorded 128 gigabytes (or 10 hours and 43 minutes in the new money) of video footage of the fucking chat room. I then took the 720p downloaded versions of each presser (weighing in at 11 gigabytes total, or 6 hours and 28 minutes in British English), those lovely user-created E3 banners, and then blitzed it all up and created this video thing.
Since this is up on YouTube (in 1080p) I also plan to annotate and provide clickable links to the various hyperlinks and gifs and stuff that were posted in the chat room. I will be doing this for all of the conferences this year, and I plan to do more of this kind of stupid crap in the future; if more than one other person finds it useful/funny/watchable/stupid/great/shit.
Let me know, is this a thing you want me to do more of?

The Walking Dead: Episode 4 - Around Every Corner PlayStation 3
- Publisher: Telltale Games
- Release Date: Oct 9, 2012
- Also On: iPhone/iPad, PC, Xbox 360
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Oct 9, 2012Episode 4 is fun, but the events that stand out all come in the final few minutes.
Oct 10, 2012It also seems like the developers have painted themselves into a corner, having loaded the first three episodes with so much tragedy and death that we're left stranded with a bunch of strangers in episode four. With that said, it is still impossible to put this game down, and the stage has been set for the story of Lee and Clementine to come to a fitting, tragic conclusion.
Oct 10, 2012Episode 4 builds to a promising series finale, and the writers make sure that the emotional toll of every decision and horrifying experience plagues your psyche. In that, it succeeds by properly laying down all the groundwork for Episode 5. The episode starts off slow, but by the end, lights fire in a worthy cliffhanger. I'm still thinking about it, and it doesn't get much better than that.
Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 5, 2012With only one further episode to come, you feel like the gravity of your decisions is magnified given what's sure to be a blockbuster finale. [Christmas 2012, p.109]
Oct 24, 2012As if you need further proof that episodic games can enhance the experience in terms of dramatic and narrative value. I can't wait for the finale.
Oct 10, 2012Around Every Corner finest asset may be also its least conspicuous; three second vignettes proceeding a horrific events. The rule of thirds is applied, deliberate lighting techniques are employed, and each scene is framed exceptionally well. In each case it's a still shot, but it might as well be a soliloquy. These are Around Every Corner's signature moments, and witnessing them is your fateful pleasure. Beyond that the narrative doesn't move quite as much as in previous episodes, but it's tough to say The Walking Dead spinning its wheels in lieu of a grand finale.
Oct 15, 2012The most eerie and unnerving episode yet, Around Every Corner leaves you on the edge of your seat thinking "please don't let it end now." Just like a great TV show's penultimate episode, it sets up what should be an emotionally explosive conclusion.
Oct 22, 2012The fourth episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead game series delivers in the same way the others did: telling a great, emotional story and offering the player some really tough choices along the way. If you've enjoyed the previous outings, you shouldn't allow yourself to miss out on this one.
Oct 17, 2012It's got some nice simple puzzle sequences, some shootouts, and a truck full of drama. Let's just hope the final chapter doesn't take forever to come out.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
When , Inc. won an eight-year, $535 million contract to support the Minuteman ballistic-missile force on the last day of July, it wasn't just a major white-space win for the U.S. unit of the world's second-biggest military contractor. It was at least the fourth time in the last two years that British-based BAE has expanded its technical services offerings to the Pentagon at the expense of well-established incumbents -- which means it is becoming a pattern.
I should mention up front that BAE Systems is a consulting client and modest contributor to my think tank. In fact, I have had relationships of one sort or another with almost all of the companies mentioned in this piece -- not that any of them will enjoy hearing about how BAE Systems is eating their lunch.
But that is what's happening, at least in the services part of the defense business, which claims nearly half of the billion dollars the Pentagon spends every day on outside contractors. In May of 2011 BAE's Support Solutions unit defeated longtime incumbent ATK to win a ten-year, $850 million contract for management of the Army's sprawling Radford ammunition plant. In August of 2012 the same unit beat in a competition to upgrade the electronics on South Korean F-16 fighters -- even though Lockheed built the planes. In December, it bested the incumbent Sikorsky division of to win a five-year, $400 million contract for support of Navy training aircraft.
So when BAE Systems displaced as lead systems engineer and support integrator for the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic-missile (ICBM) force last July, it was just the latest installment in what is becoming an impressive chronicle of competitive successes. This isn't the way that most technical-service providers have been faring in the defense sector lately, as spending on overseas contingencies declines and companies pare margins to try to stay competitive. It appears that BAE Systems has found a formula for growing in a defense downturn -- a formula that enables it to steal market share from incumbents in areas where it was not previously a player.
Other players in defense services such as Engility have managed to grow market share by slashing costs and accepting thin margins, but what makes BAE's wins especially noteworthy is that it has been able to sustain margins strong enough to support the defense sector's heftiest dividend while still repeatedly displacing incumbents from valued franchises. In the case of the Minuteman win, it beat a company that has led ICBM sustainment for nearly 60 years -- since before the launch of Sputnik. Northrop Grumman can still bid on ICBM support work for which BAE will now be disqualified because of its new role as lead integrator, but to say this is an outcome few observers were expecting is an understatement. It's a big upset.
The win is probably especially satisfying for Erin Moseley, the executive who took over the Support Solutions unit earlier this year when David Herr moved up to oversee all of BAE's domestic services businesses. The Minuteman award suggests that Support Solutions has lost none of its competitive edge in the transition to a new leader. Moseley grew up in the secret nuclear city of Los Alamos, New Mexico where America's first atomic weapons were built and later worked on nuclear arms control at the State Department, so she has an intimate understanding of the role that Minuteman plays in U.S. strategy. Her business has been the lead provider of engineering support for the other part of the ballistic-missile force, the Navy's Fleet Ballistic Missile Program, since the 1960s.
BAE Systems is probably the only foreign-based company that would be allowed to play such a central role in U.S. national security. The company was created when British Aerospace merged with Marconi Electronic Systems in 1999, subsuming such legendary military brands as DeHavilland, Hawker, Plessey, and Vickers. That had the effect of making BAE the national champion in military hardware for America's closest ally, giving it access to parts of the U.S. defense market that no other overseas company could hope to penetrate. The company added to its U.S. defense operations at the height of the Iraq war, and as a result now generates about 40% of corporate revenues in America -- one of several countries it considers a home market.
BAE Systems is best known in the U.S. for its signature combat systems such as the electronic-warfare suite carried on the F-35 fighter and troop carriers used by U.S. ground forces. Its services business is less well known, but is so big that if it were a stand-alone it would still rank as one of the Pentagon's top suppliers. Moseley's operation, which does not include BAE's extensive cybersecurity practice, consists of six business units engaged in the support and sustainment of major combat systems for every military service. For instance, it is a leading supplier of systems engineering, ship maintenance and ordnance management for the Navy, and assists the Air Force in operating its deep-space surveillance network.
Linda Hudson, the head of all BAE Systems operations in the U.S., recognized before the current defense downturn began that services could potentially be a growth area going forward because when acquisition of new weapons slows, more effort has to be made to upgrade and sustain old ones. More generally, Hudson saw that defense was becoming as services-intensive as the commercial economy as military demand grew for everything from healthcare to data storage to vehicle maintenance. So Moseley's Support Solutions unit has become a buffer against the possibility of declining sales in the company's military-hardware business, increasing revenues at a time when demand for combat systems is expected to soften.
What few observers expected was that BAE Systems would prove as adept as it has at taking business from longtime incumbents thought to be leaders in their fields. Northrop Grumman's legacy TRW business was first selected to provide engineering support for the Minuteman missile in 1954, and after six decades of delivering such services, it was assumed to have unique understanding of the missile's features. BAE's ability to wrest the Minuteman franchise away from a respected incumbent suggests that the contracting environment in which defense services are procured has changed -- presumably in ways BAE grasped better than some of its competitors did.
Not surprisingly, the company's push into new parts of the services business -- "white space" in the vernacular of business development -- has created challenges it has not had to deal with in the past. For instance, its success in winning upgrade work on F-16 fighters in South Korea opens up the prospect of further opportunities in the multibillion-dollar business of modernizing thousands of Cold War fighters. However, that work traditionally has been viewed as the exclusive preserve of Lockheed Martin, the original equipment manufacturer of the F-16. Obviously, Lockheed will fight back to protect its F-16 franchise, and beyond that BAE has to worry about how any bad feelings might spill over into its work on the F-35 successor to the F-16. Lockheed Martin is prime contractor on the F-35, and BAE Systems is one of its subcontractors.
But this is the kind of problem you want to have, because who thought anybody could beat Lockheed Martin on upgrading its own plane? Time will tell whether it was a fluke -- maybe a reversible one -- or the beginning of a sea change in the way military sustainment work is awarded. Having won billions of dollars in high-tech services work that once would have been deemed beyond its grasp, BAE Systems seems poised to do well in the U.S. defense market at a time when some of its competitors are likely to disappear due to declining demand. That would not only enable the company to sustain its high dividend, but also to claim that it has risen to the top ranks of suppliers in the world's most competitive defense market.

Food and travel have always been inseparable - no matter where you go or why you go there you are going to eat.
But in recent years, travel for food's sake has exploded in popularity, and accordingly, high quality food is increasingly the reason people pick particular hotels, from Vegas to Paris to rural inns.
In their May issue, being shipped today, the editors at Bon Appétit Magazine are running a cover story on their picks for the "10 Best Food Lover's Hotels in America," and I got a sneak peek. You should peek too, because you will want to go to several of these places. (In an earlier column here, I similarly previewed Bon Appetit's "10 Best New Restaurants of 2011.")
To be completely honest, I would have handled this differently. First off, most of these picks are small hotels or Inns that have a featured restaurant or dining room. If I was asked to pick the best hotels for food lovers I'd start with places that have multiple excellent destination dining experiences, something like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where you can eat a standout meal at a different place each night for a week, with arguably the nation's top fine dining restaurant, Joel Robuchon, plus the master chef's wonderful L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Michael Mina's Nobhill and Seablue, Emeril Lagasse's namesake eatery, Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak, and perhaps the nation's best sake list at Shibuya. Heck, I'd put the MGM Grand on the list just for the stunning Michelin 3-star/Forbes 5-Star starred Joel Robuchon.
Bon Appétit also puts a big emphasis on locally sourced ingredients, which are great in theory but do not necessarily make a restaurant better. If I lived in Parma, Italy I'd happily eat local ingredients all day long, but living in the U.S., I'd still much rather eat real Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma (or jamon iberico from Spain or Port from Portugal) than somebody's (almost always) inferior imitation made here. On a more domestic level, I'd rather eat Vidalia or Walla Walla onions than less tasty sweet versions made closer to where I happen to be traveling, and there are many other examples of local not necessarily being better.
But knowing that local is a big factor in the selection helps readers understand and use this list accordingly, and in any case, there is no doubt that some of these places have fabulous food and are well worth visiting for that reason. They also happen to be fantastic hotels. In this sense, Bon Appétit got it right - no one would be disappointed with the food, service or accommodations at stellar but tiny Dunton Hot Springs in Colorado, which I just visited and was blown away by. South Carolina's Inn at Palmetto Bluff combines true Southern hospitality with exquisite lodging, service and a refined take on updated southern classics. They also have a killer Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course sprawling through the low Country and dripping with Spanish Moss.
All of the ones on the list that I have personally visited excel, with the sole exception of the underwhelming 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville: it's a fine hotel restaurant and good choice for dinner if you happen to be in Louisville - the KentuckyDerby is in less than three weeks - but I certainly
would not travel there for the food. I'd have swapped it for the Inn at Little Washington or Vermont's Forbes 5-Star Twin Farms (read my Forbes.com "Hotels I Love" review), which is much more in the Dunton Hot Springs mold, and has a huge local emphasis with its own gardens and neighbors doing custom organic growing. But I'll let 21c slide because so many others on the list are so good - I'd gladly make the trip to Tennessee to eat at Blackberry Farm, long and widely considered one of the nation's great gastronomic lodging escapes.
You need to read the whole story online to get detailed descriptions of each winner, plus interesting extras such as separate advice on hotel choices for wine lovers, for breakfast, for the best in-room minibars and to see all 40 finalists before it was winnowed down to these 10:
1. Blackberry Farm, TN
2. Ace Hotels, Various
3. Willows Inn, WA
4. Dunton Hot Springs, CO
5. Nebo Lodge, ME
6. Los Poblanos, NM
7. Inn at Palmetto Bluff, SC
8. 21c Museum Hotel, KY

It is worth trying to get hold of vintage and some of the original pieces from the revived collections. It is my understanding that Belstaff are moving away from the heritage collections into the luxury market so probably the last chance to pick these pieces up.
For anyone interested in the old pieces there are some vintage adverts and a picture of the old factory in Longton on this blog http://www.terracegent.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Belstaff
As for quality I would say the pieces have some great fabrics and the cut is better than Barbour but you are paying a lot for the brand.

My main concern is not stone breaking under too much pressure, cause Im not pressig hard on naturals.
More of a stress for me is when I soak them, that I might just hit one, ever so slightly onto side of sink, and even if once will not do any harm, maybe after 15 small hits something breaks?
Thanks Yes, I got shellac all over it already [not on the topside ]
Feels much better.
I've never worked with lacquer, but can't help wondering if a bit of the stuff really does make any difference? Hardly seems like it would be strong enough to do so. On thin wood, yes sure, I can imagine it. But when set against the mass of a stone I have a hard time picturing it.

'American Idol' Alum Gina Glocksen's New Baby's Name Is 'Game of Thrones'-Inspired [PHOTOS]
Congratulations to 'American Idol' alum Gina Glocksen — the singer and her husband, Joe Ruzica, recently welcomed a baby girl. And they even took her name straight from a 'Game of Thrones' character!
Glocksen, who competed on 'Idol's' sixth season, gave birth to Daenerys Josephine on July 10 in Chicago, People reports. Though Glocksen didn't explicitly say that she named her baby after Daenerys Targaryen from 'GoT,' it's safe to say that it's more than just a coincidence — especially since Jordin Sparks gifted the new baby girl a dragon stuffed animal.
"Dany being protected by her dragon hole [as] she sleeps!" Glocksen captioned the sweet pic, which you can check out below. "Thanks for my nighttime security auntie Jordin!"
Little Daenerys entered the world at 8 lbs., 4 oz., and already the proud parents are happily in love — just see the photo of the adorable family unit in the picture above.
PopCrushers, what do you think of Gina Glocksen's 'Game of Thrones'-inspired name for her baby girl?

Edited by Ger Devlin, ISBN 978-953-307-069-8, 352 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published March 01, 2010 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license
Edited Volume
This book by In-Tech publishing helps the reader understand the power of informed decision making by covering a broad range of DSS (Decision Support Systems) applications in the fields of medical, environmental, transport and business. The expertise of the chapter writers spans an equally extensive spectrum of researchers from around the globe including universities in Canada, Mexico, Brazil and the United States, to institutes and universities in Italy, Germany, Poland, France, United Kingdom, Romania, Turkey and Ireland to as far east as Malaysia and Singapore and as far north as Finland. Decision Support Systems are not a new technology but they have evolved and developed with the ever demanding necessity to analyse a large number of options for decision makers (DM) for specific situations, where there is an increasing level of uncertainty about the problem at hand and where there is a high impact relative to the correct decisions to be made. DSS's offer decision makers a more stable solution to solving the semi-structured and unstructured problem. This is exactly what the reader will see in this book.

Use our tented cards as escort cards or place cards, even favor tags; the design's many shades of blue will coordinate with any blue color scheme.
Download our PDF. If you want to print names and table numbers from the computer, use a desktop publishing software or Microsoft Word to layer the image underneath text boxes. You can also print the cards with blank spaces, and have the names written by hand.
Print the design onto white or cream card stock or cover-stock paper. Use a bone folder and a metal ruler to score the paper between the dotted crop marks; this will make folding the cards in half easier and cleaner.
Then use a craft knife and a metal ruler to cut between the solid crop marks (do not cut all the way to the edges of the paper; this will leave the crop marks intact for subsequent cuts). If you've printed the cards blank, leave them unfolded for writing on.
Just before placing the cards on the tables, fold them along the scored lines, creasing lightly so they will stand up.
