The park now is owned by the City of Colona and is renamed Colona Scott Family Park. Staff is very friendly. There are lots of sites, and many are occupied by the season. Daily rate of$30.00 seems high as there is only a central dump and no cable TV. Honey wagon service is $10.00. Coin laundry is good. Quite crowded holiday weekends. Convenient to Quad Cities. After heavy rain, small lakes are formed on sites and roads. A few sites are narrow for slideouts. - Bill Strong

This is a club membership campground. It has organized activities and a great swimming pool. Sites are on grass and are both pull through and back in. It is off the interstate a couple of miles, so it is quiet. We would stay here again. - A hitch and hop

Very nice COE Park. Great price. Concrete long pad for our 40' MH. Back- in but room for Toad. Site 28. I pulled into another long site, camp hosts were off duty then . The site post showed no reservation for that night. I call government phone number listed. I was told the site was reserved for that night so move to another site. I paid the camp host later and told them about the site change. They said that first site was not reserved for that night . The on site management seems to have a better idea about the campground than the government reservation phone system. We stayed one night. We would return. Camp hosts were nice. 50 amp service. We did not have need for other amenities Close to Interstate Hwy. but quiet. - JAWS

Found an open space large enough for us: very nice. Lots are spacious and offer some shade. Site surface was a concrete pad, featuring a fire ring and picnic table. Friendly staff and very helpful.
Ranger came by and told us rain is expected: not leave our carpet and items out. Might flash flood and it will all wash away. We are safe but our items may wash away. - D'art campizard

Spent one night here. Very nice COE park right on the Mississippi River. Price reflects Senior Pass Discount. Sure was cement, level but close to the road. Site was not long enough for us to park our Jeep on but there was extra parking spaces right across from our site. Electric hookup only.
Park rangers made passes through frequently and were available for questions when the park kiosk was closed. Some sites have a view of the river. Lots of mature trees. - Darcan

Wonderful, well kept campground on Mississippi River. Sites are a bit small, but it wasn't crowded so every other site left plenty of space. This time of year it is heavy with fish flies; be ready to have a campfire to keep them away. Very nice bike path runs through the campground which you can ride for 10 to 20 miles in either direction. Nice location, we would stay here again for a weekend. - lc47

Great county run park. A wonderful view of the Mississippi River and not far from towns for shopping/eating. Sites are spacious and level, gravel. Great value! Would return here if in the area. - Highway Star
Oct 2010 - $13.00
Technically, I should probably give this a little lower rating - because of no sewer hook-up and unlevel sites - but it was one of our favorite stops, so...! We extended our stay and were loathe to leave. It's a very pretty park, right along the MS River, with nice 50 amp sites for an unbelievably low price!! There's also a nice bike trail that runs right through the park and alongside the river. We got a little confused getting here - turns out there's an exit off the I-80 (Exit #1) onto Route 84 that takes you straight to the park! Somehow our GPS had other ideas... Also, it's not obvious where to go when you first get here. The campground is on the river side (there is more of the park across the road for picnicking, etc.). Just go "straight" on the main road till you get to the office (a ways in). If no one is there, just pick out your spot and pay them when they get back. We would definitely stay here again if in the area! - CarrieBearie

We camped here for a month and loved it. We were parked at the end of the row so had plenty of space. So nice to not be in the middle of retail madness yet only 20 minutes to the grocery and mall. We were here before the peak season began and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Super friendly staff and helpful with any needs. Plaza has a great laundry, gym, and game room along with many other cool things. Very clean showers and restrooms. Roads and sites are paved which is perfect for rollerblading and biking. Also, has a nice playground for the kids to enjoy. Beautiful view of the lake. Hopefully, we are back in the area. Would love to stay again. - Sarina Thomas

This gated park was very clean and was easy to maneuver around with a large rig. The office staff was super friendly, as were the people who worked on the grounds. We stayed here for several weeks during August and September, and chose this particular place because of all the amenities and activities it listed online. We arrived on a weekend and there was a ton going on and we thought it was perfect. But then on Monday we found out that everything is closed during the week. The snack bar and store opened on Friday night and closed on Sunday afternoon, and the hours on those days were quite limited. From Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon it was like a ghost town, which is something the kids and I did not enjoy. There are many, many insects, especially mosquitos and flies, which made it almost impossible to sit or play outside after 5 pm. And if you need anything, it is a thirty minute ride to the nearest grocery store. If you have kids, this is a great place for a weekend stay, but not an extended one. We camped here in a fifth wheel. - NomadFamily

Thank god for Coast to Coast or we would not have stayed here for $72 a night. Nothing here worth that much money. The grounds are very well kept but the staff can not keep up with the trash that some day use people leave behind. The internet is fair at best even in the Plaza where they day the have free internet. If you can get connected you are doing good. The sites are narrow with a grassy area in between you and the other campers. The lake is pretty if you look past the over growth of algae that is growing on all of the ponds and the large lake. We were in a 31 ft motor home with a 20 ft tow, the site was very large and could handle us. Nice park but if it was not for Coast to Coast I would not stay here. - Walter Pfiitze

This park is mostly all seasonal campers. It's located right on the river in a picturesque setting. We called ahead and the staff said they had 2 pull-thru sites. When we arrived we were greeted by unprofessional and poorly dressed staff person. After looking at the supposedly pull-thru sites we decided not to stay. The sites are small, low, poorly maintained and not pull-thru. Would not ever go back. - fratney51

Picturesque park on the Mississippi. Our site was 50 yards from the river. Beautiful wooded campground with grass sites. A cabin is available to rent, also. The manager is always helpful and friendly. There is a boat ramp and pier on the premises, too. This was our third time there and we always enjoy it. - Bill from Kenosha

A great campground right on the river, with a lot of things to do. Great fishing, has boat slips (docks?) if you have a boat (I do not), and you can rent boats or paddle boats. Right next to the Eco Tourism center, which has lots of neat things going on.
Avoid when raining, as the entire campground turns into a big mud puddle. Also can be very buggy. - David Johnson

We had a pretty decent stay. My only complaint was the cold water in the shower. Taking a shower on a 45* morning and only having lukewarm water was not pleasant. - User781
Sep 2007 - $15.00
This is a county park. It is on a backwater of the Mississippi River. It is a marina in addition to being a campground. The marina business was very busy during our stay. We stayed in site #65 right on the water. Due to the slow-moving water, there were lots of mosquitoes, so staying outside was a challenge. We wanted to stay in a place right on the Mississippi and we couldn't tell about this place looking at the map. Sites are electric only. There are lots of trees so maneuvering a big rig would be problematic. Bargain price. The showers are a long hike from many of the campsites so we didn't try them. There are pit toilets scattered around and we didn't try them either. In the future, we'd plan a little better and choose another campground. It seemed like mostly locals were staying there. - NancyB

Nice Park. Ok Big rig access. I reserved this site through the KOA web Site did not see the buton "Campground specials". Stayed Sunday Night until Thursday morning. Paid for 4 nights. The Campground special is stay Sunday through Wednesday and Tuesday is free, However you can not get this special unless you input the special code in the website or mention it on the phone when you make the reservation. If you pay without mentioning the special they will not give it to your after the fact. - Bill1114

This is an older KOA and very expensive. The Quad Cities do not have many private campgrounds and the other (Interstate in Davenport) is also expensive. This is adequate for short stays. Roads are quite narrow. If this campground were full, everyone would be very close, and driving the roads would be a challenge. There are a couple of lakes here and the campground is in the trees so the light industry in the area is not visible. - AirstreamGene

We stayed one night. The reason we were even in the area was because of the 100 mile run to raise funds for the Hennipen Canal. There is a walking/biking trail all along the Canal which we enjoyed. They delivered a fire ring and wood to our campsite. The firewood was $6. The two children with us enjoyed riding the rented go cart type pedal bikes and the playground. Our site was very easy to drive into being a pull through and it was level. It looked like there were a few long-term residents. - Sunnie-Wheelhouse

Owners very friendly. Was extremely hot in August when I hooked up and electric kept cutting off. Advised office and before I could walk back to RV, there was already someone there to help me. Neighbors let me borrow a 50Amp extension cord to hookup to a vacant spot so I could run my AC for my dogs while the maintenance person fixed my electric box. Site was a bit muddy with ruts and they came and filled in with gravel the day I arrived. The WiFi is iffy. I did not use any facilities at the park. The trail that runs next to the canal is right next to the RV park and is excellent for walking, jogging or riding a bike. It goes on for miles. I will definitely return. - Rascal123

A nice park located in a beautiful area, the drive to the campground is stunning. We where just staying one night so left the toad on, the sewer was at the back and took two hoses to reach. The turns in to our site where very tight and it was difficult to get into. Check in was easy and they where friendly. - sjones

We stay here almost every year. Back in 2011 I wrote a letter to the Park owner that the driveway entering the Park needed repair. Turns out it's not obvious that they ever did anything. The result is the first thing that you experience when entering the Park is a bumpy road with deteriorating asphalt. Not a great start.
When I went to move the picnic table one of the top pieces came off in my hand. - Dick_B

Nice park. Meeting room is a barn where they store vending machines. Easy in and out and handy to I-80. Office is closed most of the morning for some reason. Our site and the one next to it both had water leaks and we had mud to contend with and had to share our hydrant. - Bojangles
Sep 2016 - $40.00
Stopped for 2 nights on our cross country trip. Two rows of the RV park were flooded from waters draining from the soybean field next door following heavy rains. When we checked in we were told the water had receded some but had flooded the intersections making getting to the office on foot more difficult than it should have been. Interior roads are paved but a little narrow. Pull thru site was paved with enough space for our 42 foot motorhome and tow car. Utilities worked well. Sat Friendly. As other have mentioned, sewer connection is not ideal. Good stop if you want to visit Le Claire, Iowa to see Antique Archeology! - ScottV

We made reservations 3-4 weeks in advance, after several emails and unanswered phone calls. We finally got a hold of a live person (I assume was the owner) and was told that there was full hookups available and no deposit was needed. After a 3.5 hour drive, arriving after dark, we find out that the campground has been booked for months and the host is given NO INFORMATION on reservations from the office/owner AND that this happens all the time. Also, upon arrival, the campground was very dark, the space numbers were hard to find/read, the sign said host was at space 8 when actually there were in space 7. When trying to call the office/owner, I was unable to get a hold of anyone. Since this is the first time trying to stay at a Passport America campground, I will think twice about using another Passport America campground as this reflects poorly how one does business. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND OR TRY TO STAY HERE AGAIN. Fortunately the state park around the corner had available sites, yet not the full hookups we originally wanted. - myztique

I admit I didn't join the Breaking Bad bandwagon for years. In 2008, a screenwriting professor suggested I watch the show after I wrote a similar screenplay about a woman with breast cancer who decides to take back her life—but I held off. In the flurry of grad school life, I didn't want to get sucked in to what everyone said was a completely addictive show. Until now.
In the last week, I've binge-watched every episode of Breaking Bad. I've been surprised, overwhelmed, humored, angered, saddened, and excited, and that's probably what show creator Vince Gilligan wants.
[Spoiler alert—I'm going to talk about all sorts of details in the show.]
The show, if you don't know, centers on high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who finds out he has inoperable lung cancer and embarks on producing and selling pure methamphetamine to secure his family's future.
It's interesting to binge-watch a television show that in many ways, is about addiction- addiction to drugs, addiction to money, addiction to control, addiction to feeling important after a life of being average, in Walter's case. Watching episodes back to back also allows for a comparative visual lens. I learned just as much from the show's lighting as I did from dialogue and performance. In one of the later episodes, Walter stands in complete darkness, telling wife Skylar that they're going to be "okay." Of course they're not going to be okay. The show's changing visual design is a great complement to Walter's manipulation of everyone around him.
In a way, the show's drama is applicable to the world and society in which we live. Yes, it's television. And, yes, it's about high-stakes meth deals. But the writing mirrors the consequences of the real world in that the things we do and put out into the world come back to us, and to others, in small and sometimes catastrophic ways.
No one ever gets away with anything on this show, which allows for the merging of hero and villain. In fact, almost everyone in the show is a slight mix of both. There's a great play of action and consequence. Seemingly small lies and actions become larger, cataclysmic events that end up impacting everyone.
Recall Jane (Krysten Ritter) instructing Jesse (Aaron Paul) how to lay down to sleep after shooting heroin, so as not to choke to death. She later succumbs to this fate. Learning of her death, her father, an air traffic controller, causes a mid-air collision when he goes back to work while grieving. In one of the greatest dramatic turns, Walter (Bryan Cranston) wrestles with whether to save Jane as she chokes to death, considering that doing so would enable both her and Jesse to continue down a road of addiction to another inevitable death. To experience Walter's reasoning, (if there is any) in this highly charged situation is a feat that the show's writers accomplish, albeit painfully.
Everything that the characters are doing is "wrong" in so many ways, but the way they make choices are very much human and are deeply felt by the audience, despite their extreme and alien circumstances. Giancarlo Esposito's Gus Fring becomes hardened after witnessing his partner and lover shot to death in front of him. He later masks his growing meth-empire in a Los Pollos Hermanos business franchise, and a crisp, calm demeanor that makes him incredibly fascinating to watch. There's a sense that at any moment he might explode but seldom does so, adding an element of surprise you come to expect, but are unable to predict. And Saul Goodman (played by Bob Odenkirk) is the "bus bench" lawyer who, while corrupt, manages to add warmth and humor to every scene he's in. So much so, that he's scored his own spin-off show.
Because we recognize those very human feelings of guilt in Jesse, and the overwhelming self-interest that overpowers Walt, we are able to enter that world, then question why. Why, after a lead character has lied, ruined and ended lives, and still managed to cradle his young child, would we want to return to watch? Because it's drama, and great drama does that.

I wouldn't want to watch it anyway.
What about the color themes?
Heather Shuryan replied on
I would love to see someone do an in-depth analysis of the meaning of color in the show. Like, Marie with the color purple; Walter starting the show in light colors--now they are dark; the meth is bright blue and is it's unique selling point. It's also in the names as well: Walter WHITE, SKYlar, Jesse PINKman, etc.
Something is going on with color and I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!
Also, for residents of Portland (this includes you, Bitch Mag), The Vern on Belmont shows Breaking Bad every Sunday night at 9pm for free and they have $1 PBRs!

thats just not true -walter let her die because she was in the way
Nijla Mu'min replied on
The beauty of interpretation. I think that definitely played into it, but if Jesse eventually overdosed and died, Walt would've had no partner. And I don't think Walt wanted Jesse to be addicted to heroin at that point in the series, selfish reasons aside.

Don't cry over cut onions! My brother told me about this simple trick you can use to process large batches of eye-burning onions without shedding a tear. In case you don't have the "trick" item on hand, I have other options that work pretty well to help you cut onions without tears, too.
Why do onions make you cry?
Short answer: Onions make you cry because they release a sulfenic acid in gaseous form. Yup – acidic gas. Tears are our bodies natural protection.
Science Focus give more details:
Onions take up sulphur from the soil while growing. This is combined with amino acids within the onion's cells to form amino acid sulfoxides. In 2002, Japanese researchers identified an enzyme, also present in onions that unlocks the sulfoxides when the onion is cut. The resulting reaction produces sulfenic acid that rapidly reforms into a gas called syn-Propanethial-S-oxide. When this stuff hits the sensitive surface of our eyes, it causes the stinging that leads to tears.
BytesizeScience has a pretty cool video on all the gory details. 🙂
What are the Health Benefits of Onions?
The World's Healthiest Foods details the health benefits of onions, including:
- protecting the heart
- supporting bone and connective tissue
- acting as an anti-inflammatory
- protecting from cancer
You get the most benefits when the onions are raw, but gentle cooking preserves some of them, too. Just don't turn your onions into charcoal.
Don't Cry Over Cut Onions – 4 Tips to Avoid Onion Tears
#1 – My all time favorite technique (which was suggested by my brother) that I now use regularly for processing large batches of onions (for instance, when I'm canning salsa), is to put a small fan on the counter next to where I'm chopping. Use the fan to blow away the sulfenic acid gas and keep it out of your eyes – no tears.
I've got a little Massey personal fan that we received as a hand me down from my in-laws. A larger fan would work, too – the small ones are just more convenient (and pretty inexpensive).
Now, if you don't have a fan handy, there are some other options you can use to reduce eye irritation while chopping onions:
#2 – Chill your onions in the fridge or freezer or by running them under cold water
Chilling reduces the oxidation rate, meaning they produce less of those irritating compounds. Also, hot air and hot gas (including sulfenic acid laden gas) rises faster than cold gas, and cold tends to be less irritating than hot. The water will dilute the juices so less of them get airborne.
#3 – Wear goggles to block the onion fumes
This will keep fumes out of your eyes, but unless you've got sealed goggles, you're still still going to get it. Plain safety glasses won't cut it. I don't like the really flimsy ones, either. A couple extra bucks will get you ones that are fog and impact resistant for other tasks.
#4 – Chew gum to breath fewer onion fumes
If for some reason you are really desperate, don't have a fan, or refrigeration, or water or goggles, yes, chewing gum does help – a little. It works because you tend to breathe through your mouth more, so you suck less gas into your nose/sinuses. Feeble relief at best, but it might distract you enough to make you less miserable.

The Martin Luther King, Jr., national holiday weekend inspires celebrations and commemorations nationwide honoring the pre-eminent leader of the American civil rights movement, a hero for people of all races and economic situations.
The Rev. Dr. King, who would have been 81 on Jan. 15, remains a vibrant, inspiring figure worthy of emulation nearly 42 years after his assassination in Memphis in April 1968.
King confronted the unfulfilled rights of citizenship for African Americans – equal rights and equal opportunities backed by the specificity of statutes that fleshed out what the Constitution intends.
His life's work, a continual crusade for access in public accommodations, full voter participation, and quality education for all reshaped American life, in ways transformative for the good of all.
Yet, even with his unique legacy, the force of law, and the continuing work of people who believe and work as King did, the full potential of many Americans is not attained.
Part of that human development deficit rests with continuing discrimination, an issue that will remain despite the striving for the higher ideal.
More of the potential is unfulfilled because people of all races in every part of the United States don't look closely enough at how King prepared himself – beginning with lessons learned in a strong family – with hard work and educational attainment exceeding almost all other Americans of his generation.
King, in the best traditions of the American dream, was a self-made man who overcame the odds through his own effort and determination. He skipped grades in high school, even entering Morehouse College at age 15 based on college admission scores.
The rest of his education story is one of diligence for goals set: bachelors degrees from Morehouse and Crozer Seminary, and a Ph.D. from Boston University.
King was a 19-year-old student at Morehouse College in Atlanta when he wrote a speech entitled "The Purpose of Education," in which he said, "Education must enable a man … to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life."
Larry Faulkner, former president of the University of Texas at Austin, said of King, "Dr. King understood the central importance of education in shaping who we become. … If he (had) traveled with me on …. visits to the high schools of Texas, he would step forward and he would help me to convince students that a university experience will be invaluable to them … And he would emphasize the reality of the possibility."
The reality of possibility becomes apparent when effort leads to achievement, and achievement doesn't happen without personal vision and action.
It is not possible to fully honor King's memory and emulate him without understanding the importance of education in his personal journey.
The first educational attainment improvement in our time and state, of course, must be retaining all students at least through high school graduation.
Next, college graduation rates, especially at public universities, generally must be raised. Mississippi is among the states with university graduation rates too low across the board, but it is lowest for black students, including students at the historically black universities.
Acting affirmatively to pull all students toward higher educational attainment is necessary from kindergarten through graduate school.
King's self-affirmation about the importance of education is a guiding light for all, the facilitator of success.

For Sale:
Schiit Asgard 1 amp + Onkyo SE-U55SX2 DAC
Will Ship To: CONUS
I have an amp/DAC combo as in title to sell. I got the DAC last July an the amp last October. The overall sound is on the airy, neutral side with relaxed treble, while the Asgard adds a bit of bass impact. Very good combo for instrumentals and vocal music which are what I mainly listen to. Just figured it's about time to upgrade, also since I'm moving out of my current place soon it'd make my life easier to carry less stuff. Both come with original packaging and accessories.
The DAC is essentially an external USB sound card, a Japan only product, but the adapter is a universal plug which supports 100-240V/50-60Hz input so you should be fine in the US. I had it plugged in a 220V source with no problems whatsoever. You can use the DAC without an amp, however the built-in amp is quite weak and probably won't drive most demanding full size headphones. IEMs work fine though.
Prices will be $160 for the amp (SOLD) and $180 for the DAC. Shipping within CONUS is included, you just have to add the 3% PP fee. Canada buyers please add $20.
Feel free to PM me with any questions. Thanks for reading!

A probable legal agreement involving the City of Tupelo, Calvary Baptist Church and the Tupelo Historic Preservation Commission offers optimism and promise of resolution in a long-running disagreement about the fate of the landmark Spain House.
Under terms discussed Tuesday, the city would take ownership of the imposing former residence on Main Street at North Madison Street near the central downtown district. A two-year window of opportunity would be created for the commission and city to find a buyer and a site to relocate the century-old structure so that it could be preserved for its historic architectural and cultural value.
Some preservationists want the house to remain on Main, but the church will not agree to sell or maintain the house on the site because it has no use for the structure. The property was purchased before it was designated a local historic landmark, a status which blocks demolition except by the city's approval.
If no buyer is found and the relocation has not been accomplished by April 1, 2012, Calvary would be authorized to raze the structure, remove the debris and move forward with whatever plans it has for the property. Calvary also purchased most of the other structures on the block bounded by Madison, Main, Magazine and Church streets. The church's sanctuary building and other facilities are in that block on Main at Church.
The agreement, which would require a vote of the City Council for enactment, has the support of church officials and a majority of the preservation commission, whose chair is Karen Keeney, a Tupelo architect.
Keeney and church spokesman Greg Pirkle, a Tupelo attorney, both said they support the compromise.
The structure, which housed Spain Funeral Home and was the Spain residence, also was the business office of a Tupelo real estate company.
Keeney said she expects to move persistently and quietly toward finding a buyer, a site, and to seek the building's designation on the National Register of Historic Places.
She said a non-profit corporation is in formation to receive funding to help with the Spain house preservation and to identify and preserve other historic properties in Tupelo.
The pending agreement and the formation of a non-profit both are good ideas.
Preservation also might be helped with a 48-hour notification requirement for all demolition permits issued by the city. A century-old industrial building recently was razed without comment by the city or the commission.
Preservation is a recently empowered official function; the methods and process are still being perfected. The proposed agreement represents progress.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Alec Baldwin said his late night talk show on cable news network MSNBC will be taken off the air on Friday and next week and apologized for comments that a gay rights group called homophobic epithets.
Baldwin, 55, announced the decision in a statement, saying that his comments were "offensive and unacceptable." His talk show "Up Late with Alec Baldwin" began last month.
"I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have - and for that I am deeply sorry," Baldwin said in the statement, adding that he was trying to protect his wife and daughter in New York.
Earlier this week, the actor tearfully testified at the trial of a woman who was sentenced to 210 days in jail after being found guilty of stalking and harassing him and his wife, Hilaria.
In a video posted on celebrity website TMZ.com on Thursday, Baldwin confronts a photographer filming him in a New York street and calls him a homophobic slur that drew the ire of gay rights group GLAAD, which has previously defended the actor when he was accused of homophobic language.
"Mr. Baldwin can't lend his support for equality on paper, while degrading gay people in practice," GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro said in a statement. "It's clearly time he listens to the calls from so many LGBT people and allies to end this pattern of anti-gay slurs."
It was not known if the photographer at whom Baldwin directed his comments was gay.
Baldwin, who has had many confrontations with photographers and reporters approaching him in public, also came under fire in June for homophobic tweets aimed at a reporter for Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

Lakers 102, Hornets 84
The Lakers are four games behind San Antonio, 1 1/2 games ahead of Dallas and still right on their own game.
The Lakers are 15-1 since the All-Star break after beating the New Orleans Hornets on Sunday night.
Only one game remains on the team's season-long seven-game homestand that has been perfect for the Lakers so far: Thursday night vs. Dallas.
The one thing that didn't go well for the Lakers on Sunday night besides Andrew Bynum's foul trouble limiting him to 13 points and five rebounds was more sketchy play from the bench, which contributed significantly to lost ground on the scoreboard vs. Phoenix and the Clippers the past two games.
The Lakers' main reserves (Lamar Odom, Steve Blake, Shannon Brown, Matt Barnes and Luke Walton) combined to shoot 1 for 9 from 3-point range and didn't get a single free-throw attempt.
Kobe Bryant followed up games of 42 and 37 points with a 30-point effort on 11-of-25 shooting. Bryant had five assists but shot 1 for 6 from 3-point range; the Lakers were 3 of 17 (17.6 percent) on 3-pointers but still won pretty comfortably with Bynum surging in the fourth quarter.
Pau Gasol (23 points, 16 rebounds, four blocks) was a force on a night when Bynum played just 22 minutes.

Truth or Myth: Reviewing Roy Williams' Key Lineup Decision Last Year
Posted by Brad Jenkins on October 17th, 2013On February 13, 2013, North Carolina's season was in limbo. That evening the Tar Heels would take a 6-4 ACC record into Durham against a highly favored Duke team, while coming off their worst performance of the conference season, a 26-point blowout loss at Miami. But for Roy Williams' team, that UNC-Duke game was the debut of a new smaller lineup featuring P.J. Hairston starting in place of big man Desmond Hubert. Although UNC would lose that game by five points, 73-68, the new lineup had bigger Duke looking slow and confused for much of the night. From that point, the Tar Heels ran off six straight conference wins, finished third in the league with a 12-6 record, and went on to make the ACC Tournament championship game before losing to top-seed Miami for the third time. National media types lauded the lineup change as a brilliant coaching move by Williams, while many local media and Tar Heel fans were left asking what took so long for the head coach to make the move in the first place. Before we turn our full attention to the upcoming season, let's look back at some of the truths and myths concerning that North Carolina lineup decision as well as address some reasons as to why the move wasn't made sooner.
Truth or Myth #1 – The Lineup Change Had a Tremendous Positive Impact
This would be a big affirmative. UNC's record improved from 6-4 in the ACC before the switch to 8-3 afterward, including the games in the ACC Tourney. But more than that, North Carolina just looked like a much better team and the stats back that up. Basically the net effect of the lineup change was to remove 20 minutes from post players Hubert, Joel James, and Brice Johnson and redistribute them among the perimeter players, with Hairston picking up more than half of what was left. As expected from a decision to take away significant minutes from big players, defensive efficiency was most negatively impacted.
In comparing the Tar Heels' last 11 ACC games with the first 10, defensive two-point field goal percentage rose three percent and opponents' offensive rebounding percentage rose seven percent. But the new and much quicker lineup forced more turnovers and defended the three much better. The net result was that the defense got slightly worse, allowing 1.02 points per possession (PPP) compared with 0.98 PPP in the first 10 ACC games, but the flip side is that the Carolina offense really took off. The smaller unit cut turnover percentage down by three percent, improved their effective field goal percentage by three percent, and raised the team's overall PPP from 1.02 to 1.12. They clearly were a much better overall team after the switch — even more than the improved record indicates — especially when you consider that the only three ACC losses after the switch were to either Duke or Miami, two of the top 10 teams in the country last season.
Another unexpected thing revealed itself with respect to the Tar Heels' tempo. Always known for playing at a high pace, one might have thought going smaller and quicker would have resulted in a Tar Heel team playing at an even higher tempo. But the truth is that the opposite happened. In the 10 ACC games prior to the lineup change, North Carolina games were played at an average of 69.9 possessions per contest. That dropped to 67.1 possessions per game in the next 11 games. Part of the reason behind the change could be the drop in defensive rebounding chances that limited fast break opportunities, but it probably had more to do with the significant drop in turnovers experienced by the offense. To the naked eye, it seemed that early possession turnovers plagued the team often during the early conference season, frequently committed by the shaky hands in the frontcourt. With the change to a more perimeter-based offense featuring double screens to free jump shooters, those bad early trip turnovers seemed to disappear. TRUTH.
Truth or Myth #2 – North Carolina Went to a Four-Guard Lineup
In the college game, guys like Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston, who are better rebounders than they are ballhandlers, are forwards. In the traditional UNC system they are "wing forwards" but they are forwards nevertheless. Think about this: Before the lineup change, did you ever hear UNC described as having a three-guard lineup? Maybe it's just more fun to say four-guard lineup for dramatic affect. A more accurate description of the new lineup would have been a big forward (James Michael McAdoo), two wing forwards and two point guards. Yes, that's right; Dexter Strickland functioned more as a second point guard than a traditional Roy Williams two-guard such as Wayne Ellington. Strickland led the team in assists, rarely took or made any outside shots, had a great assist/turnover ratio, and was the team's best on-ball defender. What kind of guard does that sound like to you? A point guard. MYTH.
Truth or Myth #3 – North Carolina Bombed Away With Three-Point Shooting
While the Tar Heels shot threes considerably more than we are used to seeing a UNC team attempt, they were no Iowa State either. In the first 10 ACC games, 28.6 percent of the team's field goal attempts were three-pointers. In the next 11 games, that figure jumped to 35.1 percent. While clearly a shift upward, that number would have ranked 115th in the country had the Heels shot treys at that rate for the whole season. More importantly, this increase in attempts coincided with an increase in makes, going from a solid 36 percent to a stellar 39 percent as a team. TRUTH and MYTH.
So What Took So Long?
So that leaves the big question, why did it take so long for Williams to pull the trigger? The common thinking seems to be that he was just too stubborn to change how his teams play. In retrospect, there could be a couple of other reasons that may have been part of the equation, and they both involve P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald. With each in the news this past summer for the wrong reasons, it's fair to question whether character played a role. Perhaps Hairston was not invested in the team to the level he needed for Williams to feel he deserved to start. As for McDonald, another key perimeter cog, he had to serve a three-game suspension early in the conference season for not fulfilling his own responsibilities, so it's probably fair to question his commitment as well. That suspension came on the heels of McDonald missing another three games with a knee injury, which leads to the other issue. When McDonald returned, Hairston was dealing with a concussion himself. He missed one game and only played 12 minutes in the next. So after the first ACC game at Virginia, UNC went seven straight games without one of McDonald or Hairston, followed by one game with a limited Hairston.
That brings us right back to where we started. The next game was the Miami debacle followed by the new lineup at Duke. The essential point is that Williams really couldn't have made the switch any earlier in the conference season even if he had wanted to. It can certainly be argued that the switch should have taken place in early December when it became plainly obvious that Hubert and James were not going to be effective inside, but we will probably never know for sure if it was simply stubbornness or Williams' standards for how his players act. Whatever the reason, Williams has stated many times that we are not likely to see it as an issue again this year. There is the as-yet-undefined suspension of Hairston to consider, the loss of Reggie Bullock, and only five real perimeter players anyway. Heading into this season, the days of Tar Heel "small ball" may be gone forever, but it is important to remember how and why UNC got itself into the situation in the first place.

Mobile + Maps + Inventory = Sales
By the year 2019, 64 cents of every dollar will be spent by digitally influenced shoppers who buy in brick and mortar stores. (Currently it's 24 cents of every dollar.) That was part of the data presented by Tim Schulz who, until last week, was the Emerging Products Lead for Retail and eCommerce at Google. "Customers care less about the platform or the device than they do about the seamlessness of the experience," he said.
Schulz sees the intersection of hyperlocal content, maps, and inventory as fertile ground for wineries and retailers. With Google's In Stock Nearby product, for example, retailers can essentially say, "We have this wine for sale, it's currently in stock, we're located close to where you are right now, and here are the directions for you to get to us."
Wineries who have collaborated with retail partners have seen major returns: every dollar spent on In Stock Nearby, Schulz said, became eight dollars in purchases.

NHL Returns But Why Should The Fans Cheer?
By Joe McDonald
Sports Columnist
And on day 301, the NHL lockout was settled. Now the hard work begins.
After its one year sabbatical, the National Hockey League needs to now win the fans back over, because the whole agreement would be moot, if they league damaged itself to a point they can't sustain league revenues.
So, hockey now needs to endear itself back to the fans. To put the fannies in the seats, the owners and commissioner Gary Bettman need to come out with creative and, as Omar Minaya would say, 'outside the box' ideas.
First and foremost, the league needs to lower ticket prices. Yes, the Broadway crowd will pay the high prices at Madison Square Garden, but that's expected.
The Islanders can't expect its Long Island fan base to keep paying upwards of $70 dollars to see their team in the Coliseum. And the same can be said about most every other venue throughout the league.
If the NHL wants to survive, they need to lower ticket prices and even try and give tickets away to younger fans. If the league starts to give away a reduced rate to families of four, they will more than ensure creating new fans, which are the life-blood for any sport.
The NHL should also dip some money into marketing. There is a lack of name recognition throughout the league. In Major League Baseball, the average fan knows Derek Jeter, Barry Bonds and Pedro Martinez. Tom Brady and Ray Lewis are household names in the NFL and Shaq and Tim Duncan are synonymous with the NBA. But in hockey, it's hard to name the stars. And the names people know are well past their prime, such as Mark Messier and Mario Lemieux. The NHL needs to start marketing the Jerome Iginla's and Joe Thornton's to have superstars of the future fuel the league today.
Also the league should not pin all its hopes on soon to be first overall pick Sidney Crosby. He is only 18 years-old and making him into a league messiah would just be unfair.
One plan that will probably go into action is the rule changes, which took place in the AHL this past season. The automatic icing, no-touch offsides and wider blue lines do help, but the goalie rules and shootout are gimmicks. The NHL needs to pick and chose what rules speed up the flow of the game.
The league should go back to letting the players police themselves. By putting in rules against retaliation, the NHL risks more situations like the Todd Bertuzzi hit on Steve Moore and that will lead to more black eyes.
Television is another way for them to draw the crowds back, but a good product will be the best way to keep fans tuned in.
One can go on and on, but the NHL does have a lot of work cut out for them. Getting the players on the ice is only step one now it needs to get the fans back in the seats and give them reason to cheer.

I'm trying to cut back on calories for the new year, in addition to starting the couch to 5k program at cool runnings. This recipe isn't the greatest, but it's a start. Next times I'll try to make it with splenda sugar instead and see how it goes. Maybe egg beaters...I wouldn't do it with any less than whole milk as it could effect the creaminess.
First, whisk together 5 egg yolks and 3/4 cup of sugar and set aside.
Then heat 2 cups of milk, 6 coffee beans, and 4 thin strips of orange peel in saucepan until steamy. Do not boil!
Add half of the milk to the egg mix and whisk. Add the egg mix back into the remaining milk and cook on low until slightly thickened. Mine didn't thicken that well. I don't know what happened.
Pour into large bowl and put in the fridge. Forget about it for 8 hours.
When it's time, take it out and stir in 4 tsp of lemon juice.
Process according to your ice cream makers' instructions, then scoop out and place in your freezer to let flavors melt for a couple of hours. Serving tonight with cocoa meringues. The ice cream is only 145 calories per half cup...I rarely eat that much.
Orange-Lemon Gelatto
2 cups whole milk
5 large egg yolks
strips of lemon and orange peel
6 coffee beans
3/4 cup sugar
4 tsp lemon juice
Scald the milk with the orange and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar to blend. Gradually whisk half of the hot milk into the yolks. Return the yolks to the saucepan with remaining milk. Stir over low heat until custard thickens and leave a path on the back of the spoon when you draw your finger across it. Do not let the mixture boil. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and chill.
Once the mixture is cool stir in the lemon juice. Transfer to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturers instructions.

amicus70: Woah, don't think the Leica and the Panasonic are the same cameras. Once I wrote to Leica and complained about the much higher price of the Leicas (comparing to the similar Panasonics). You won't believe what happens... A very kind answer with a mile-long list about the differences between the cameras (it was the Panasonic FZ50EG and the Leica V-LUX 1): slightly differences in the architecture, not the same firmware and and and. But really; everyone has to make the decision, if the Leica is worth the higher price. I love my Panasonic ;-)
Just compare images in galleries in original size from both cameras and see differences ...
Download similar images (at same conditions shooting) in original size - one from this Leica gallery and one from FZ150 gallery. Open them at once a you can see pretty difference in image quality. Leica images are much better.

The framework for deciding just how Shoreline Community College will respond to anticipated state budget cuts is starting to take shape with the release of a document recommending criteria and guidelines to be considered.
"I appreciate the thoughtful work that went into this document," said Daryl Campbell, Vice President for Administrative Services. "It will be useful as the college moves forward with another round of painful cuts forced by the continuing deterioration of the state budget."
The criteria and guidelines come from a subgroup of the Budget and Strategic Planning committees, formed in early November. The document was forwarded to President Lee Lambert and his President's Senior Executive Team. PSET reviewed the document, then discussed clarifications with Budget Committee Chair Mary Kelemen and Strategic Planning Committee Chair Kira Wennstrom. Subgroup members were Larry Fuell, Mary Bonar, Gillian Lewis, Chip Dodd, Susan Hoyne and Angela Atkinson.
"I wanted to be sure that (PSET) understood the intent behind the words," Campbell said of the meeting with Kelemen and Wennstrom. "It was helpful and the result was we agreed to make some changes to ensure clarity."
Entitled, "Criteria for Restructuring and Guidelines for a Transparent Process," the document focuses on two areas: considerations for making cuts and then recommendations to help the campus see how those decisions were made.
"Both of those areas are very important," Campbell said. "Difficult choices lie ahead. We have to be sure that the college retains what it needs to not just survive, but move ahead. In addition, a transparent process that lays out the rationale for those decisions can help make them understandable, perhaps not easier, but at least understandable."
Criteria for Restructuring and Guidelines for a Transparent Process
Developed by the Budget and Strategic Planning Committees
in collaboration with PSET
December 2009
Based upon major budget reductions in 2010, the existing Mission, Strategic Plan, and the organizational structure of Shoreline Community College will have to be modified. These changes should take into account the interconnected nature of the college's programs and services. These changes should be viewed as strategies to sustain the institution well into the future. PSET should determine the strategic, financial and organizational direction of the college, and announce it to the campus community as soon as the restructuring process gets underway. Throughout the coming weeks and months, PSET should regularly provide information in order to facilitate transparency of the process, and ensure that PSET has the information needed to facilitate effective decision making.
When deciding on these changes, PSET should operate under the following core principles:
PSET should restructure the college in order to optimize programs and services in consideration of the institution's strategic direction as determined by PSET.
This process should include:
To ensure transparency, decisions regarding the reorganization should be collaborative, understandable, and communicated in a timely fashion. The following is intended to provide PSET with guidance around these general principles. PSET should:

Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy has highlighted research showing that personal protective measures are the best way to prevent Lyme and other tick-borne disease - not spraying pesticides. We have also highlighted evidence that preserving biodiversity and contiguous forest can be key to preventing tick-borne disease - and that focus on deer may be misplaced.
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy Positions
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy has advocated for protection of the Mountain/Piedmont Seepage Swamp - one of just twelve known examples in Virginia - and for maintaining contiguousness of the Preserve's White Oak Forest.
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy has worked across our county to protect natural resources essential to life for both people and wildlife.
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy has organized numerous education and advocacy programs to highlight the important role our most misunderstood species play in our ecosystem, and help people coexist safely with these animals.

[VIDEO] Antoine Dodson's First Live Performance
Hide ya keedz and hide ya wife: Antoine Dodson, the man who launched a thousand Internet memes, made his performance debut last night, singing his famously remixed "Bed Intruder Song" at the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards.
The man with an awesome new haircut and tight jeans was joined by Michael Gregory of "AutoTune the News" fame for an impressive and rousing rendition of the song. Watch the video:
The Dodson Meme will never get old. In fact, this guy is getting better with age. Like a fine wine that crawls into bed with your sister.
Over at The Root they've got a (if you're into the Dodson story) must-read interesting follow-up interview with Dodson about his recent quasi-exploitation, the live performance, sex crimes in the black community and the sex-abuse accusations leveled at Bishop Eddie Long.

Most Annoying Travel Fees 2011
Airlines, hotels, and car rental companies are piling on the travel fees. Here's how to avoid them.
When Michael O'Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, jokes about soon charging people for using the bathroom onboard his aircraft, he may not be kidding. Ryanair already makes you pay a fee for using your credit card to make a booking.
Nothing seems to irk travelers more than paying travel fees. What's especially maddening about these charges is that in many cases—think checked luggage and in-flight pillows and food—we're paying for things that were free until very recently.
Why don't the airlines simply raise their fares and do away with these extra travel fees? Because when they do raise fares, they drive travelers away. It's easier to advertise low fares to entice buyers and then saddle them with a bevy of non-negotiable fees. Hotels and rental car companies do the same thing. And the fees are big business, bringing in an estimated $700 million per month for the major U.S. airlines.
Clearly, these travel fees are not going to go away anytime soon. In fact, they're on the increase, as the travel industry seeks to find more ways to nickel and dime us when we fly, stay in a hotel, and rent a car. The recession has simply forced many companies to get smarter about taking money out of our pockets.
If there's a single travel fee that ticks off many travelers, it's paying for Wi-Fi access at a hotel. Ironically, it's the higher priced hotels that are guilty of this practice—low-flying chains often include it with your room rate. With charges typically ranging from $9.95 to $24 per day, plus local tax, it's a fee that adds up quickly and goes straight to the hotel's bottom line. Why do they need it? Now that cell phones have vanquished the revenues that hotels used to make on telephone surcharges, charging for Wi-Fi is one way to replace that lost cash.
Or, take the redundant collision-damage and loss-damage waiver coverage, a.k.a. CDW/LDW, on rental cars, which can be as much as $16 per day—a fee that adds up over the course of a weeklong car rental. Here's the rub: most car rental companies require you to pay with a credit card knowing most major cards already offer this protection. Annoying? You bet.
The good news is that if you're aware and proactive, you can avoid paying some of the worst fees you're likely to encounter. Read on for 10 of the most annoying travel fees plaguing travelers—and ways you can avoid paying them.

Today was the day that I have to come to the realization that Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets are not a good team. As many of you have pointed out us Sanchez lovers have been giving him too many excuses. Time after time he has continued to show why he will not succeed in a New York Jets uniform. I believe he has to go along with this dingbat of a head coach.
How can we become a respectable organization?
Well like Joe Namath said it begins at the top. Woody needs to fire both Tanny and Rex along with any of his coaches even if Westoff wants to stay one more year. If we are going to rebuild we need to do it right, with a clean slate.
As I previously stated Sanchez needs to go. Unfortunately under his current contract that something that isn't likely to happen this offseason. However I do believe that there are some things we can do this offseason to rebuild this organization and make it respectable. I'm sick and tired of being the "clowns" of the NFL.
So Rex and Tanny are gone. Who do we get for a coach? Well there is no easy answer to that question. People are calling for Jon Gruden, Sean Payton, or Bill Cower. Well none of those guys are going to want to come here if he can't have full control of his team. Woody is going to have to accept the fact that the fans want wins, not to be talked about 24/7. He is going to have to allow the head coach to make all the calls. No Tebow or Farve incidents can occur. We must build from the bottom if we want to be in the same class as the steelers, giants, falcons, bears, or any team that seems to be able to compete year after year. We must develop young core players that will grow into superstars, not sign has beens.
There are many positions that we need to address in the upcoming draft and fortunately for us there are some great prospects coming out in this year's class. In the first round we need to draft a pass rusher mostly because I believe that right now it is our biggest weakness even if Sanchez is garbage. Jarvis Jones seems to me like a sure lock to become an absolute beast in this league. Mingo from LSU is more of a DE but maybe possible to convert. Any way need a pass rusher. It depends on where we are drafting to say if we should go OLB or QB.if its later in the round maybe we can go for tyler wilson. I believe that we should draft a RB in the second round Greene has no explosion and isnt even a good power back. This draft should be about addressing our 3 key weaknesses: OLB, QB, RB. In this draft we should draft 2 QBs; one in the first 3 rounds one in the last 4 rounds, same thing with OLB. Hopefully one of the two guys will do something. And for RBs i say make a run for gillislee from Florida and take Lattimore in the late rounds if hes available.
In the offseason we need to fill out the rest our teams roster.
We need to sign a left guard to come in and compete with slauson and ugly. we need someone to compete with austin howard.
On offense we will look bad yet again with Sanchez at the reigns (unless he loses to one of the rookies in camp, wouldnt be surprised)
However we will have Holmes, Hill, Kerley, and hopefully Keller ( i believe he will be back for decent pay because he is having a very subpar year) those are some pretty decent skill players. The offensive line really needs to step up their game, DBrick and co arent looking good this year.
On Defense we will have some great linemen. Clearly Wilk is starting to break out and Coples has shone at times. Pouha and Eliis should be able to control this middle. Our Linebackers need to look totally different. Pace, Thomas, and Scott need to go. this is a passing league and if you cant outrun a QB you might as well apply to mcdonalds now. Keep demario and harris inside. one of the two draftees on either side and try to go after dayrl smith or anthony spencer to fix the other side. I love our DBs. Cro is showing just how lucky we are that we got him and not Nnamdi and Hulk smash is a great playmaker. hopefully revis is back as good as new and we should be pretty set in our defensive back field. maybe sign Byrd from buffalo to take over for the old man Bell.
Thats the end of my rant thats all i got. But this New York Jets team definately has the core talent that is needed to win championships. I believe with the right GM and head coach it is something that will be accomplished in the near future. What do you guys think?

Mario Lopez hosts gala for Pageant of the Masters
Hollywood descended upon Laguna Beach Saturday evening, as the 12th annual Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters gala benefit welcomed stars from TV and the silver screen.
Mario Lopez, host of the daily TV show "Extra" and the MTV program "America's Best Dance Crew," served as host for the benefit, which helps the Laguna festival's Building Fund.
"It's great. I've been wanting to come for a while," said Lopez, 36, who's also known for his role as A.C. Slater in the hit teen series "Saved By the Bell."
"I came one time a long time ago. Me and my girlfriend have been wanting to come. Laguna Beach is a beautiful city down here, and the ocean, the arts, the wine flowing, all the beautiful arts and the show itself – makes it a romantic, real special weekend."
Lopez's girlfriend, Courtney Mazza, was noticeably pregnant, and said she was expecting in a couple weeks. The pair do not know if the child will be a boy or a girl.
Joe Mantegna, who plays David Rossi in the CBS series "Criminal Minds," returned to the pageant gala with family and friends. He has attended the gala for the past few years, and served as host for the event in 2004.
"I really look forward to it every year," he said. "It's really a special event. It's a way to signal the end of the summer, there's wonderful music every time I come. Laguna is a special jewel of Southern California."
Other celebrity guests included Marg Helgenberger ("CSI"), Joseph Mascolo ("Days of Our Lives"), Drew Tyler Bell ("The Bold and the Beautiful"), A.J. Cook ("Criminal Minds"), Sarah Drew ("Grey's Anatomy"), Kate Linder ("The Young and the Restless"), Donna Mills ("Knots Landing"), Matthew Gray Gubler ("Criminal Minds"), Lydia Cornell ("Too Close for Comfort") and Vicki Gunvalson ("The Real Housewives of Orange County").
"The show is mind blowing," said Gubler, who recently turned 30. "It's so hard to describe something like this." Gubler had a role in the film, "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," and described the experience of working with Bill Murray as "a dream come true."
Laguna Beach Mayor Elizabeth Pearson, councilmember Kelly Boyd and other city representatives also attended the gala, which included dinner at Tivoli Terrace and a live presentation of the 77th annual Pageant of the Masters.
"This is one of the best events of the year in Laguna Beach," Pearson said. "We always look forward to having our visitors from Hollywood here. They are artistic and appreciate the arts as much as Laguna Beach residents do."
Reality TV star Gunvalson brought her friend Judy Koulias to the pageant gala. "I'm very happy to be part of this," said Gunvalson, one of the original "housewives" on the popular Bravo TV show. "It's so beautiful. I love it. I love the arts. It's magical. It's like Disneyland in an adult world."
Chip McAllister, a fellow Coto de Caza resident and winner of "The Amazing Race" in 2004, said, "Everything is just so amazing. It's so well put together. Plus, (the gala) is for a worthy cause." The gala grossed about $200,000, organizers said.
Wayne Baglin, president of the Festival of Arts board, said he was pleased with attendance to the event, which cost $50-$350 per person. He said the gala sold out, and attributed brisk ticket sales in the past couple of weeks to host Lopez's popularity.
"I have a feeling that tonight was really chick night at the Pageant of the Masters," Baglin said. "The ladies – it doesn't matter what age they are – find Mario Lopez very attractive, cute, and they're very eager to spend the evening with him."
The theme for this year's Pageant of the Masters is "Eat, Drink and Be Merry" – a fitting motif for Saturday night. The show continues nightly at 8:30 through Tuesday, and then is done for the season.

Like what RPGWiZaRD said, the 2 sound very different.
The XB700 is more rumbly, has softer sounding bass, has greater bass quantity in both mid-bass and sub-bass, has longer decay in its bass presentation, and has better treble extension than the PRO700MK2.
The PRO700MK2 has faster and more punchy bass. Bass quantity is less than on the XB700, but they fare very well with amping. The PRO700MK2 is also a darker headphone than then XB700, and will require some attenuation of the high-end to get some treble sparkle to show up.
You really need to test both out, because you might prefer one over the other. Bear in mind though, if you want lots of bass, the PRO700MK2 might disappoint when auditioned stock (out of the box). They will shine when paired with a good bass boost amp (e.g. E11) and with EQ-ing.

Ready for change? Let's Get Started100 Danbury Rd, Suite #201D , Ridgefield, Connecticut 06877
I will help you adopt a more composed style, one where you can communicate your thoughts without becoming confrontational. I'll assist you in harnessing your positive traits and in applying them to managing your anger. In our sessions, we'll discuss that anger is more of a secondary emotion to more primary feelings such as fear, guilt, shame, powerlessness, or sadness. Together, we will identify the triggers that upset you, so that you can be more self-aware and develop coping skills. Reducing anger will improve your self-image, patience, interactions with family and career success, while reducing health issues such as headache and backaches. Contact me to discuss how counseling can work for you.
412 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT 06877
Life can be unfair and we can experience a great deal of anger as a result. Anger can cause us to hurt the ones we love, jeopardize our careers and cause legal and medical issues. The good news is that there are many tools that can help you manage your anger more effectively and to use it more productively. I can help you learn how to control your anger so that you will feel stronger, calmer and in control. Don't let your anger control you. Take control of your life today.
246 Federal Road, Unit C-36, Brookfield, Connecticut 06804
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion unless it gets out of control and turns destructive. This leads to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. I work with clients to help them take back control of their emotions. We start by identifying the feelings attached to anger to uncover ways to express these emotions without causing harm to relationships.

Tim Nelis with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command.The plan is to take a page from the Coronado Bay Bridge and have a movable lane to help traffic into the base in the morning and exit the base in the afternoon.Work on the traffic lanes is due to start in a couple of weeks. While more than halfway there, Gonzales said he is most proud that of the more than one million man-hours of construction there hasn't been one minute of time lost due to an accident.The new hospital plans to open for business by January 2014.

Katy Perry Goes All the Way in New Music Video
by girls
August 10, 2010 at 2:48PM
Views: 1,318
Katy Perry lives out her teenage dream by getting hot and heavy with a cheesy male model (not fiancé Russell Brand) in her latest, sexy music video.
This is the music video for "Teenage Dream," the latest single from Katy Perry's sophomore album of the same name. Perry gets her sexy on, cavorting around a beach in her underwear, and sliding between the sheets with her boxer beau for a steamy make-out session.
This music video sees Perry continue to use her luscious sex appeal to push her teeny-bopper music to the masses. Is it a problem? No way, especially if you like your pop served with a large side order of cleavage!
