A satellite cellphone rings for rebel commander Bashar al-Zawi, at home with his family in the Jordanian city of Irbid. It's a rare domestic break for this wealthy businessman turned rebel commander. But he is anxious to get back to his battalion of 5,000 fighters in southern Syria.
They are taking part in a rebel offensive that is squeezing the Syrian army around the city of Dera'a. Military analysts say the fight is one of the most strategically important battles in Syria's civil war, because Dera'a, close to Damascus, is President Bashar Assad's stronghold in the southwest.
What are Zawi's aims when he returns to Dera'a later that night? "Escalation. I'm a leader of a brigade — so my job is not to preach peace," he says with a laugh.
Syrian opposition leaders were deeply disappointed by President Obama's decision to call off threatened military strikes in favor of diplomacy after the Syrian government allegedly used chemical weapons against its own people.
And on the ground in southern Syria, rebel commanders say U.S. promises of lethal aid appear to be on hold as Washington pursues a diplomatic track.
But Zawi shrugs off disappointment with the most recent U.S. policy shift. He is focused on the fight for Dera'a, where, he says, months of quiet preparation have paid off.
Rebel sources say earlier this year Saudi Arabia stepped up arms shipments through Jordan; the CIA vetted the rebel groups that received the arms to make sure none went to Islamist extremists. Zawi says there are no extremists in the south.
"There is a good command between the groups, and hopefully, we will be successful, but there is a shortage of ammunition," he says.
And that's where Zawi and other commanders see a link between the U.S. turn to diplomacy and waning U.S. support for rebels on the ground. The pipeline of weapons, ammunition and nonlethal aid pledged by the U.S. has slowed in recent weeks, just as rebels were inching closer to regime-controlled Dera'a. America's focus, says Zawi, has shifted to destroying chemical weapons, while the rebels insist on destroying the regime.
"We were hoping for an intervention that didn't happen," he says. "Everyone is only talking about chemical weapons now."
Zawi heads the Yarmouk brigade, which is part of the Supreme Military Council. Washington and the Saudis back the council, which is considered the moderate wing of the rebel movement and is strong in the south.
But the capture of the city of Dera'a has remained out of reach. Some of the Assad regime's strongest forces are in the Dera'a region, says Abu Ismael, an army general who defected and now heads the Supreme Military Council's southern command. Ismael, who taught military strategy in a Syrian war college before the revolution, says a U.S. strike could have changed the balance against the regime.
"In the beginning, the regime was afraid. They evacuated most of the military headquarters, and the security branches," he says. "But after the Russian-U.S. agreement, the regime felt comfortable and started escalating."
Ismael says there has been another change as well: On some battlefronts, the Assad regime replaced Syrian field commanders with Iranians and Lebanese militants from Hezbollah.
"Iran and Hezbollah has better experience in street wars," he says.
And while the regime's allies are stepping up support on the battlefield, Ismael worries that the U.S. is stepping back from the rebels while in search of a diplomatic solution. He says they hear only promises from the Americans to supply and strengthen moderate rebels in the south.
"They've been talking about it for a long time," he says, laughing.
"We developed trust. In the beginning, they were afraid; now there is trust," he continues. "They know who the moderate are. And who is not."
The extremists are in the north, says Ismael. He says rebels in the south are focused on Dera'a — and they need all the help they can get.

Superpower Ethics
Superpower Ethics: An Introduction [Abstract]
| December 2, 1987

Ethics and Etiquette of Third World Debt [Abstract]
| 12/02/87
Third World debt, seen as distant from the realm of international affairs and ethics, is often subject to abstract economic analysis. Bauer argues that the way in which debt is addressed by debtors and lenders is heavily politicized and should be subjected to ethical scrutiny.

That Scrapmax 460 may not be available any other time. 511s are easier to come by, unless you gotta have tan.
I have absolutely no need for either, but i want em both (can't do it, cause suicide by wife )
That Scrapmax 460 may not be available any other time. 511s are easier to come by, unless you gotta have tan.
AKA Hooker Hog
I didn't realize that... +1 for scrapmax...
that looks to be just about the perfect do everything camp knife (for general prep type work)
any idea how elmax stacks up against SR101?
I love my 511 perfect hunting/camping knife but i must say elmax holds a edge I have yet needed to sharpen my ZT551 and i do use it.but havent used the max yet.
And just buy them ,wife will get over it,,,,,??????maybe?????
Nothing But Respect,
See, my wife definitely won't get over it... i've spent more than a grand of real money on knives, hawks etc, in the last 2 months, and i have 2k in INFI coming from the custom shop along with the Zermeno Azrael that she's getting me for my birthday
i MIGHT be able to hide one knife... if i get 2 she's gonna hang me with a towel and make it look like an accident
Scrap Max....And you might be in store for a Hog Hoof Race for it!
Stop feeding the Mutts!!
It's not food, it's a doggie treat. Very likely bacon flavored.
The Scraps are a must own, sure wish more Busses had been offered. Do not get me wrong, the Shanks are cool.
So to give my opinion on which to get its the ScrapMax stuff.
And comparing Elmax to high carbon steels is a bit like granny smith apples compared to golden delicious...a powdered stainless steel will have a lot of differences to a high carbon steel. So far my Elmax knives are serving me very well and holding a sharp edge for a pleasantly surprising duration.
I never said which second of those first 10 mine would arrive...
I'm a Freedom-Loving, Constitution-Supporting, "Deplorable."
How about you?
Thank you to our Veterans!!!
I'll try not to step on your hoof... unless that's what it takes to get my 460... in which case, Oink Happens

The leading market experts have revised a mean price target of $52.63 on Newfield Exploration Company (NYSE:NFX) stock. This revised target, which is predicted to be touched in a year, is mean of equity calls posted by the analysts. The distinguished research units have predicted earnings of $0.27 a share for the coming quarter, besides for this fiscal is $0.77.
Technical View
The technical analysis of Newfield Exploration Company Co substantiates the 50-day MA of Newfield Exploration Company Co is $44.21, and stock is trading $-3.98 points away or -9.01% from 50-day moving average of $44.21. It is trading $-0.05 or -0.13% away 200-day moving average of $40.28. Newfield Exploration Company (NYSE:NFX) 52-week high is $47.56 and the 52-week low is $20.84.
If the stock moves $-7.33, it will mark 52-week high. While in event of +93.04% points dive, a 52-week low is fixed.
Newfield Exploration Company (NYSE:NFX) P/E ratio came in at N/A. To get additional details about a firm's equity price, buyers can figure out what's accepted as price to earnings ratio. It is a replication of how high-priced or low-priced an equity is depending on existing or projected earnings growth. The totalling implicates dividing equity market value, or the equity last price, by the mean EPS posted in the earlier four quarters. When fiscal earnings forecasts are accessible, the trailing EPS can be traded with estimates for imminent earnings.
An attractive P/E ratio of a firm in one industry might not be valid for P/E ratio of company operating in another sector. Thus, buyers should evaluate the P/E ratios of equities in a similar industry. Likewise, the comprehensive stock market worth is established in the P/E ratio of the prominent S&P index that implies some of the major firms in the market. By gauging a stock's P/E ratio with renowned index, a buyer can know an equity perceived value against the rest of the market.
Newfield Exploration Company (NYSE:NFX) PEG ratio is at 1.45. The stock closed at $40.23 in last trading session and so current market cap is $7.92B.

'Idol' Roundup: Ryan Seacrest Says Fans Will Be 'Very Excited' About New Judges
Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Jeff Dodge
Staff Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
Ryan Seacrest is hinting that the new
American Idol
judges have been chosen -- who are they? And is Keith Urban still on the panel? Also in today's Roundup: Candice Glover just debuted a new song while out on tour. And Scotty McCreery is revealing all the inside scoop on his audition -- did he really sing a Lady Gaga song?

Nominated at 2013 Emmy Awards >>>
Have the New Judges Already Been Chosen?
Production on season 13 is underway, and host Ryan Seacrest stopped by the San Francisco cattle-call auditions and revealed in an interview with
that the new judges replacing Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj (and possibly Keith Urban?) have been chosen.
"I was with Keith yesterday," he said. "We embraced and said to each other, 'I hope we get to spend a lot of time together.' ... I think, based on what I have heard, the audience that watches
American Idol
is going to be very excited about the panel that we've put together for season 13. It's a very special season, and I think you'll see some good chemistry this year."
It sounds like Ryan doesn't actually know who will be the new judges or even if Keith Urban is sticking around or not. But he does mention there will be "good chemistry" -- how would he know that if he doesn't know who's joining the show? It may just be a line he's throwing out there to assure fans that
won't make the same mistake as they did with season 12's panel that had no chemistry whatsoever.
Speculation has been brewing all summer about who the new judges will be. At one point, it was being reported former contestants were under consideration, including Jennifer Hudson and Adam Lambert, with one going so far as to say the Oscar winner had signed a deal. But with new executives now in charge of
, that possibility seemed to be squashed. But you never know, one of those two names may have signed on the dotted line, and maybe they've even decided to keep Keith on board. All we know for sure is that
Jennifer Lopez won't be returning
-- or maybe she will, you never know what's going on behind the scenes.
If what Ryan is speaking the truth here -- that the new judges have been chosen -- I'm surprised the names haven't been leaked already, though FOX still has plenty of time to do just that.

Candice Glover Performs New Song "In the Middle"

American Idol Live! Tour

Scotty McCreery Sings Gaga?
I bet that headline grabbed your attention. Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery just celebrated the three-year anniversary of his
audition, and he revealed some inside scoop on Twitter about the process. We all remember his audition -- he was the young country crooner who came in and blew everyone away with that deep voice of his. But what you might not know is that he almost wasn't allowed to sing "Your Man." Why?
"For the
auditions you have to sing a song that is cleared by the show for rights and stuff,"
he began
. "Your Man wasn't cleared my audition day. If you sang a song that wasn't cleared they wouldn't put your audition on tv, which makes it tough on ur chances of making it far on the show. I told the producer's I didn't care, and I was singing Your Man. Miraculously, about 15 mins b4 my audition they told me they got it cleared! If that had not happened, we would've never got to hear Stevens crazy line, and who knows if I'd be here today."
The Steven Tyler "crazy line" he's talking about is a classic: "Well, hell fire, save matches, f*** a duck and see what hatches!" But this isn't the best part that Scotty revealed. As I alluded to earlier, he sang a Lady Gaga song.
"Day 2 of the non filmed auditions, they make all the contestants learn a single song ... The song everybody in Milwaukee had to learn? Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. ... They tell you, you may or may not have to sing it, but its required you know it if they ask you to sing it."
Everything was going fine so far because he sang "Your Man" followed by "Slow Dancing," and Scotty had a feeling they would send him through to the next round. But then it happened: "Then they asked me to sing Bad Romance ... I started into those rah rah's and then stopped midway through and told them 'this aint on my country station back home, I don't know this.' They busted out laughing and said they just wanted to hear a country boy sing Lady Gaga." He has no hard feelings, though, and is able to laugh about it and appreciate the opportunity that has led him to have a successful career in country music.

Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) fickle investors may be overlooking the company's tremendous potential for growth in emerging markets in their pessimistic assessments of its future. That came from analysts at Goldman Sachs, who added in a new research report that a survey of Apple product owners in China had proven that demand for the company was alive and well.

From those surveyed, 90 percent were at least likely to stick with the company for their next tablet or smartphone purchase, while 72 percent of iPhone and iPad users were "highly likely" to again choose an Apple device. This indicated that "Apple still appears to have an enviable level of customer loyalty in China," the report said. Asked about Apple's much-touted platform, 59 percent of the respondents said they downloaded from the App Store "frequently", while 33 percent said they did so "sometimes".
Opportunity for Apple was "far more promising than most investors recognize," the analysts said in their report, according to Market Watch. The firm affirmed a Buy rating on the stock along with a $760 price target, but added a warning…

The launch of Lisa's new bar-lounge addition to her restaurant SUR (Sexy Unique Restaurant!) brought in a few uninvited guests and an impromptu group therapy session on last night's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Besides Mr. Houseguest Gone Bad showing up and Taylor's plea to stay on TV with her friends, Kim and Ken were as messy as a Manwich Sloppy Joe. We watched with a sinking feeling in our stomach as Kim swayed around aimlessly and dug in her purse like a burrowing hamster for sustenance (in this case, the life-numbing pill-popping kind), while enabler Ken waited on her hand and foot.
And then there was the case of Kyle and Kim. The sisters unleashed their frustrations about each other, but Kim surprised Kyle with a startling revelation that caused her to hold onto her womb for dear life!
Check out the bumpy road to partial sobriety below:
Because they live in the boondocks, Ken and Kim decide to get a hotel to be closer to the SUR event. Kim hires a makeup artist with bacteria-filled color palettes, and as he waits for her to finish rummaging through her purse, she pulls out a vibrator and claims she doesn't know where she got it! She then commands Ken to find her phone charger and fetch her soda with ice and then complains to her makeup artist that he's a dope.
As the ladies trickle into Lisa's launch party, Brandi notices that one of the waitresses is someone her ex had had an affair with. The waitress immediately recognizes Brandi and tells Lisa. To prevent a catfight, Lisa politely tells the waitress to leave, and she does so willingly since she doesn't want to be karate-chopped by Brandi's good leg.
Watch Lisa Ask The Waitress to Leave:
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/tv/The-Real-Housewives-of-Beverly-Hills/106761/2187835306/A-Slight-Personal-Problem/embed 580 476]
Suddenly, Cedric and his eyelashes appear out of nowhere, (and RuPaul licks his lips). "What do you want from me?" Lisa asks her former Houseguest with a disgruntled bulldog expression smeared across her face. Cedric claims he just wants to congratulate her on the new lounge.
"I don't wish you any harm and guess what? I don't wish you anything at all," she exclaims. "You're not invited, so I'd like you to leave." Knowing the chances of him bunking again with Jiggy is slim to none, Cedric air kisses the other ladies and walks out. Brandi swears to Lisa and Ken she didn't invite him.
After Kim finishes playing with the buttons in the limo and singing nursery rhymes, she and Ken walk into the party. Swaying and slurring like her usual self, she greets Kyle coldly, and Kyle walks away with tears in her eyeballs. When Kim embraces Adrienne, she whispers into her ear that she's leaving Ken and that he's verbally abusive.
At the urging of Adrienne, Kyle gets Kim to open up. Kim tells her that Ken makes her cry every day and that he disses her bunions, but Kyle puts her in check by reminding her that she's not the easiest substance abuser to get along with, either. The two cry…and then attack each other for what went down in Hawaii.
Kyle nails Kim, saying Kim never apologizes for her wrongdoing. To perpetuate her infantile spirit, Kim offers her a flower and then whines when Kyle pushes it aside and tells her to act like an adult.
Before Kyle can splash water in her face, Kim tosses out a whammy: She's three months late on her woman cycle! Kyle wonders if it's menopause, but Kim is convinced she's got a "gay mastiff" bun in the oven.
Suddenly, Papa Gay Mastiff appears, along with hunka-munka Mauricio. Kim pulls out her lip gloss and applies it to her thin lips and then offers it to her sister. Kyle obeys believing it's a sign of peace, but little does she know that the lip gloss has a latent cold sore virus festering in it. No matter: The two sisters look like they've forgiven each other until the next inevitable argument.
Because she has no friends left, Taylor invites her therapist to be her date to Lisa's party. Shady. When she finally shows up to SUR, Lisa and Kyle notice Taylor's shiner. Before much can be said, the therapist demands all the ladies to sit down to hear Tay-Tay's cry for help because group therapy sessions are customary at fancy bar parties.
While Taylor begs for compassion, revealing that indeed she's been abused by Russell and has lower self-esteem than her lips, Adrienne looks on warily. She jumps in and defends Camille and says they're in need of protecting themselves from Taylor because of the lawsuits. Although Kyle tells Taylor that she doesn't owe any of them an apology, Adrienne and Camille say indeed she does!
Taylor apologizes to Camille for lying about her abuse and begs all of the ladies to be best TV buddies forever. Because her face is as unmovable as stone, Camille shows Taylor she forgives her by way of blinking slowly. They all hold hands and live happily ever after!
Unfortunately, while the kumbaya is in full effect, Kim has barricaded herself in the bathroom and decides to mime and occasionally talk to her imaginary friends. Jennifer from "Celeb Rehab" is patiently waiting outside the door but her drug radar goes off the charts, and she considers texting Dr. Drew.

If my past Living In subjects are any indication, I'm a sucker for old-time favorites. I rarely drag myself out to the theater but this summer I made an exception for I Am Love, a spellbinding epic Italian melodrama that completely captivated me. The fact that I saw this movie on the hottest day of the year and blissfully shivered in the air conditioning while drinking an entire large ginger ale may have influenced my reaction. Regardless, I Am Love makes for an especially good escape movie (and not just from the heat). Odds are, you're not a member of an exclusive, successful Milanese textile family. That's okay, I'm not either. But let's pretend, starting now.
Images above: 1. White Pearl Studs, $64; 2. Wild Alaskan Prawns, $19/lb; 3. Theory Shift Dress, $520; 4. Rupert Sanderson Pumps, $260; 5. Mauviel Copper Cookware Set, $1,000; 6. Vestal Unisex Watch, $280; 7. Canvas and Leather Handbag, $313; 8. Culinary Torch, $28
The interiors are impeccable. The the clothes are impeccable. Every teeny, tiny detail is impeccable. Even the impeccableness is just so darn . . . impeccable. The brooding Italian men aren't half bad, either, and Tilda Swinton is her usual flawless herself. Movies this perfectly put together must be seen on the big screen. If you can still catch it at your local theater, tell them I sent you and eat a bag of popcorn in my honor.

Bravo! This movie was just stunning, first shot to last. Captured here perfectly, I must say.
Falling in love over and over again… Gorgeous post! Thank you!
I read about this movie, and it sounded blah. But now that I have seen these shots it looks beautifully made and all of a sudden I MUST see it!
Thank you for sharing the images!
Thank you sooo much for showing this today. I was in bed this morning thinking "OH shoot! I should have seen that shrimp Tilda Swinton movie" but for the life of me I could not remember the name! I will put it on Netflix pronto!
I absolutely LOVED this movie! Was totally spellbound! What great picks, Amy! I want that dress! xoxo AmyA
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE this movie!!!! Tilda Swinton is an amazing actress!
And that shrimp dish…ahh *_*
I am love with your choices and now must see this movie.
Loved every single thing about this film except for the score, which nearly gave me a seizure. It was worth it for the two hours of eye candy — lovely job in capturing that, Amy! (Also, must find those sunglasses!)
looks like a good film (and picts are totally fabulous : )
great design *and* movie inspiration!
mmm lovely. I'll have to rent it when it's on dvd (oh, the perks of working in a movie store:). I almost always end up renting the films you feature just for sheer visual pleasure.
I absolutely love this movie! And while leaving the theater I talked with my roommate about how I couldn't wait for a 'living in' post for it!
Didn't disappoint! Thanks! -
I am impeccably captivated with foreign movies and always looking for another good one to see. Thanks for the review and lovely scene previews.
I adore Tilda Swinton style! can't wait to see this movie:)
I despised this movie. It was trying very, very hard to be artistic and dramatic, and just came out *ugh.* Double ugh, even.
heart milan in winter and the fab villa necchi where this film took place.
Saw it,loved it! Pure class Jackie O style.
Tilda Swinton is sheer perfection.
Always. She's a true artist. -
I've been wanting to see this movie, and now I want to see it even more. Just beautiful.
i liked a lot the movie and i really love the villa which is just few steps from my house in milan! it has also a beautiful garden, worth of seeing in any time of the year. your post reflects so well the atmosphere of the movie. i love especially the clothes and accessories (same as those used by tilda in this movie).
Wow, beautiful choices they are all so elegant and timeless! Now I can't wait to see the film
What a lovely primer you've put together: I haven't seen "I Am Love" yet, but the movie is playing at our little 2 room theatre in town tomorrow night and I've already booked my evening to see it. I promise to eat my bag of popcorn, as requested. :-)
Lovely, thank you for this!
I had the same experience. Hottest Saturday of the summer, by myself at BAM. An air-conditioned theater was the only thing I could think to do. I loved that Tilda's character was a Russian in Milan, the whole thing had a cold/hot vibe that was the perfect antidote to 100+ degrees in Brooklyn.
This film just had the most beautiful cinematography. The attention to detail was lovely and i would definitively want to see it again.
Very intense Italian drama and impeccable cinematography, like Helena said. Last minutes left me breathless and anxious. Just finished wathing..Your posts, always a delight.
The storyline of this movie was DISGUSTING. I couldn't get past what was going on in these people's lives to enjoy any visual part of it.
Amy's translations of movies are very creative and I have often used her posts as movie referrals, but my advice on this one is to just enjoy the photos; DON'T see the movie!
Ahh, the Mauviel Copper Cooking set, I'm in love.
those are amazing photos! I noticed that you put in chandelieruniverse as reference, those guys over there are the best.

Fantastic score by John Carpenter's co-composer Alan Howarth, who proves he's quite the musical force with his own voice. The first track is brilliant in that the familiar and expected Carpenter Halloween motif is missing until the tail end of the piece. I recall reading an interview with Howarth where he described his intro music as needing wind-like ghostly sounds for the slow creepy main credits. And it works like a dream.
Listen to samples here.

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
Scared? Get Scared
Few voters understand just how rapidly Romney could achieve this, rewriting the American social compact in one swift stroke. Ryan's plan has never attracted Democratic support, but it is not designed for bipartisanship. Ryan deliberately built it to circumvent a Senate filibuster, stocking the plan with budget legislation that is allowed, under Senate "budget reconciliation" procedures, to pass with a simple majority. Republicans have been planning the mechanics of the vote for many months, and Republican insiders expect Romney to use reconciliation to pass the bill. Republicans would still need to control 50 votes in the Senate (Ryan, as vice-president, would cast the tiebreaking vote), but if Romney wins the presidency, he'll likely precipitate a partywide tail wind that would extend to the GOP's Senate slate.

Homelessness Miraculously Decreases in L.A. County Despite Foreclosures, Unemployment and Lagging Economy
What to make of the latest, official homeless count in L.A., which says the number of folks on the streets here continues to decline despite this droopy economy?
A) The books are being cooked! B) Homeless have somehow found landlords who accept crushed soda cans in lieu of rent. C) The hipsters have pushed the homeless out of traditional areas like downtown and into the bushes where they remain under-counted?
The answer, of course ...
... is C!
We told you this spring how Alice Callaghan, the queen of Skid Row and director of Las Familias del Pueblo homeless services agency, thinks those living on the streets downtown are being swept under the carpet:
In the last couple years we have lost more than 1,000 units on skid row for the poor. This is a significant loss of housing ... they've eliminated units on the Row for the poor.

She thinks a lot of the homeless have moved to the banks of the L.A. River nearby.
In any case, the taxpayer-backed Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority today released its latest numbers, which show 51,340 homeless in L.A. County, a 3 percent decrease from 2009.
Michael Arnold, executive director of the authority, pats himself on the back and notes the miraculous decrease:
Given the high unemployment and foreclosure levels over the past two years, as well as the increase in national poverty, there was concern that homelessness would rise, but fortunately that hasn't happened yet. This is largely because social service agencies, housing departments and federally funded programs like the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program have effectively helped those who are homeless move into housing and get back on their feet.
In the city of L.A., the numbers are even more unbelievable, with a 9 percent decrease in homeless since 2009.
So there you go, downtown loft dwellers. You can sleep easy.

Hi, I am designing a site for a client, it is a take-away, and they want an online ordering system. Their current site (http://barinda.com) is as I'm sure you would all admit – awful, and they just use email to take orders. What would be the best way to go about this? Is it to use an ecommerce soluction like foxycart or what?
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
It really depends on how they want it to work. If they want people to be able to pay online as well, then you will need a shopping cart, payment gateways, etc. If they just want to "prettier" way to make an online order but still have people pay in store, I'm sure you can work something yourself with some simple php.
I think FoxyCart might be a good match for something like this. You don't really need a full CMS to manage a small menu of food… So you can easily make buttons to add particular food items to the cart that Foxy provides. Then people can check out and Foxy can handle the credit card processing and both the store and the customer will get a receipt.
I've never thought of doing a shopping cart thing for ordering from a restaurant, could be pretty neat!
thanks for the quick reply :D
my only reservation about using something like FoxyCart, is it's speed, as I have never used it I wouldn't know, would the orders be instantaneous? If not, then it might not be the best idea.
Let me know what you think – thanks!

I'll make this quick.
I have about $300 bucks to spend on new over the ear headphones. My last and only pair (sony MDR-cd480) died and I need to replace them. I know very little about headphones in general and some of the info on this forum can be pretty intimidating.
I've narrowed my choices to the following:
Sennheiser HD 598
AKG Q701 (not sure if these are a good option as my head is pretty small)
if I were to get any of these, would I need an amp/dac if I'm listening to my music through an iMAC (is the e17 a good choice with these headphones). I also plan on using these for movie watching at night when the kids are asleep and playing the odd game on the ps3.
Also, I heard good things about Grado headphones but I'm worried that the fact that they sit on your ears will make them uncomfortable for long wearing over long periods, is this a valid concern?

Rob Galbraith has posted his latest installment of the issues and fixes around the much publicized Canon EOS-1D Mark III continuous auto-focus issues. This story has been running since around June time when Rob first posted his relatively poor experience of shooting the EOS-1D Mark III in a working sports environment. Rob identified a number of issues including jumpy auto-focus and inconsistency in AI Servo sequences especially when the camera was warm while shooting in bright light. Canon has recently spoken of a fix which replaces the the AF sub-mirror assembly in the camera, there also appears to be yet another firmware update on the horizon. However it's clear from Rob's very extensive analysis (a good portion of which appears to have been carried out in conjunction with Canon) this isn't the end of the story.
Phil: Note this isn't the reason we haven't yet reviewed the Mark III, it has simply been shifted in our review queue due to higher priority (for our readership) models.

Story highlights
- 18 people have died, 44 missing after Typhoon Wipha hits the Tokyo area
- Oshima, a small island south of Tokyo, has been hardest hit
- More than 500 domestic and international flights were canceled
- The typhoon is moving north along the Pacific coast of Japan
At least 18 people have died and 44 people are missing after Typhoon Wipha pummeled the Tokyo area on Wednesday.
The majority died after heavy rain triggered flooding and landslides that blocked roads and crushed houses in Oshima, a small island 120 km (75 miles) south of Tokyo, a local official said.
One woman died in the Tokyo metropolitan area but the capital was largely spared significant damage.
Forty one people were still missing on the offshore island as of Thursday morning local time.
More than 500 domestic and international flights were canceled at Tokyo's Narita and Haneda airports and the national rail operator halted bullet train services in central and northern Japan.
The typhoon moved north along the Pacific coast of Japan and was expected to reach the northernmost island of Hokkaido by late Wednesday.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the main electricity supplier in Tokyo and central Japan, said blackouts affected more than 56,000 households.
TEPCO, which has been struggling to deal with a series of leaks at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, said workers at the plant were "on vigil" and accumulated rainwater had been released from storage tanks.

White finished ahead of Jordana Tomlin and Aneka Harrison was second runner-up in the female category. Tomlin is in third form and Harrison in lower Sixth Form. Allen is in third form, while White is a Lower Sixth Form student.
Article continues below...
The contestants modelled gowns and suits as well as creative outfits made from recycled materials, while in the talent section Allen's rendition of John Legend's Ordinary People was well received just as White's sand painting demonstration.
Allen also copped the Most Aware and Best Groomed awards, while White also won Best Gown, Most Aware and Best Smile awards. Eight girls and six boys contested the final.
The evening's entertainment was enhanced with a show by now sensation Navino, whose stint included Brave and Chillin' Time that had the audience grooving.
Also, QueCee, a band formed by former students of St Catherine High, had the audience rocking to familiar tunes. Colour Code dance group and B-Kool Dancers also had the audience moving in their seats.

Stoughton Trailers announced that it has filed an unfair trade petition regarding imports of 53-foot domestic dry containers ("domestic containers") from China. The petition, filed with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission, asserts that imports of the product are sold in the United States at dumped and subsidized prices, and that Chinese manufacturers have gained an unfair competitive advantage through these unfair trade practices.
The petition also asserts that Stoughton Trailers, which currently accounts for all of the known installed manufacturing capacity in the U.S. to produce domestic containers, has suffered material competitive injury as a result of these unfair trade practices. According to the petition, the domestic container manufacturing industry in the U.S. has been "materially retarded," that is, abnormally prevented from growing and developing as it otherwise would have in a truly free market, as a result of the Chinese imports.
The petition requests that the U.S. government investigate these unfair trade practices and their harmful impact on the domestic container manufacturing industry in the U.S., and to apply anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of these containers from China in order to restore competitive parity in the U.S. market and to allow the domestic container manufacturing industry to naturally develop in the U.S. The petition documents anti-dumping and countervailing duty margins in excess of 50%.
Over the last several years, the market share of domestic containers captured by manufacturers in China has grown to over 95% of the market.
According to Robert P. Wahlin, president of Stoughton Trailers, the market share growth by these Chinese companies has not been earned on a "level playing field" as China does not abide by the same rules as U.S. manufacturers.
"China has 'dumped' domestic container products into the U.S. market at prices that are well below fair value," said Wahlin. "Furthermore, Chinese manufacturers receive an array of government subsidies, not to mention that country's manipulation of currency exchange rates. All of these factors equate to an enormous unfair advantage for Chinese manufacturers of these products. This unfair advantage has injured Stoughton Trailers specifically, and has precluded the competitive establishment of a 53-foot cargo container manufacturing industry in the U.S. generally."
"The goal in filing this petition is to ensure that all of the participants in this important market - Stoughton Trailers as well as our Chinese competitors - have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field," added Wahlin.
In line with regulatory timelines, a preliminary ruling and escrow deposit requirement could be implemented by mid to late summer 2014 and a final ruling and duty could be implemented by early 2015.

Zach Braff always seems game for just about anything.
The "Scrubs" actor once again cemented that reputation by helping a fan/musician propose to his girlfriend. The musician, named Matt Hulbert, uploaded the proposal designed for his girlfriend Janice to YouTube. Needless to say, it is pretty creative.
The video begins with Hulbert asking his girlfriend to push play on a computer, when suddenly Braff appears on the screen, where he is enjoying a song performed by Hulbert.
"Sorry.. you caught me listening to one of my favorite songs by my good friend Matt," Braff said in the video. "Man, he can really rock out. He asked me to help him with a little question he'd like to ask you, Janice. He knows that he never became the rock star that he promised he would become, but he's hoping you can overlook that and he'd like you to please consider being his wife."
Some of the couple's friends and family then appear urging her to say "yes."
Here's the video…

There are winners and losers among corals under the accumulating impacts of climate change, according to a new scientific study.
In the world's first large-scale investigation of how climate affects the composition of coral reefs, an international team of marine scientists concludes that the picture is far more complicated than previously thought - but that total reef losses due to climate change are unlikely.
"Coral reefs are sometimes regarded as canaries in the global climate coal mine - but it is now very clear than not all reef species will be affected equally," explains lead author Professor Terry Hughes, director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University.
The emerging picture, he says, is one of 'winners and losers', with some corals succeeding at the expense of others. Rather than experiencing wholesale destruction, many coral reefs will survive climate change by changing the mix of coral species as the ocean warms and becomes more acidic.
This in turn has implications for humans, who rely on the rich and beautiful coral reefs of today for food, tourism and other livelihoods.
"A critical issue for the future status of reefs will be their ability to provide ecosystem services like reef tourism and fishing in the face of the changes in species composition. For example, if susceptible table and branching species are replaced by mound-shaped corals, it would leave fewer nooks and crannies where fish shelter and feed" their report in the journal Current Biology cautions.
The research team carried out detailed studies of the coral composition of reefs along the entire length of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. They identified and measured a total of 35,428 coral colonies on 33 reefs from north to south. Studying corals on both the crests and slopes of the reef, they found that as one species decreases in abundance, another tends to increase, and that species wax and wane largely independently of each other.
"Previous studies around the world have focused on total coral cover as the main indicator of reef health, but we wanted to explore what happens within the coral assemblage itself. The way these individual species are mixed together is extraordinary flexible," Prof. Hughes explains.
"We chose the iconic Great Barrier Reef because water temperature varies by 8-9 degrees along its full length from summer to winter, and because there are wide local variations in pH. In other words, its natural gradients encompass the sorts of conditions that will apply several decades from now under business-as-usual greenhouse gas emissions."
This study has given us a more detailed understanding of the sorts of changes that could take place as the world's oceans gradually warm and acidify.
"And it has increased our optimism about the ability of coral reef systems to respond to the sorts of changes they are likely to experience under foreseeable climate change."
The good news from the research, says Professor Hughes, is that complete reef wipeouts appear unlikely due to temperature and pH alone. "However, in many parts of the world, coral reefs are also threatened by much more local impacts, especially by pollution and over-fishing. We need to address all of the threats, including climate change, to give coral reefs a fighting chance for the future."

Casio Celviano GP-500 Grand Hybrid Digital Piano Polished Ebony
Casio Celviano GP-500 Grand Hybrid Digital Piano Polished Ebony
DetailsProduct Ref: 64062
View Full DescriptionFull Description
View Full DescriptionThis piano is also available in the GP-500 Complete Pack, offering everything you need in a convenient bundle.
Authenticity Begins at the First Touch
The GP-500's new Natural Grand Hammer Action keyboard retains the authenticity necessary for classic performance, thanks to piano keys that feature the same full length wood used as the C. Bechstein concert grand pianos. The GP-500 shares a grand piano's keypress format by sending the hammer along a vertical path, delivering a true, whole touch that puts the GP-500 at your fingertips.
Grand Acoustic System
The GP-500 inhabits a six-speaker amplification system, which is effective at providing a wholesome, rich sound. The Grand Acoustic System delivers three dimensional sound, which leaves it closely reminiscent of a truly acoustic grand piano. By having the speakers face three directions, the GP-500 can comfortably deliver classic sound to both the musician and the audience.
Three Legendary Grand Pianos
AiR Grand Sound Source technology is incorporated in the GP-500, resulting in accurate sounds of three definitive grand pianos. Each of the three settings, Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna, offer a representative body and sound that closely study and deliver each of of the distinctive pianos they recreate. This results in the GP-500 being an ownership to three of the piano's most respected and sought after sounds.
Grand Pedal System
The GP-500's Grand Pedal System can detect subtle changes with the performer's foot pressure, and adjust accordingly to greatly increase the tonal wealth. Furthermore, this can be customized to the player's own preference, not only further expanding possibilities but keeping them to a unique spectrum of preferable settings. The GP-500's Pedal Action Noise will even produce subtle sounds of the foot pedals operation, further refining the sound to identify with an acoustic grand piano.
Multi-Dimensional Morphing and Resonance System
Multi-dimensional Morphing technology is also featured, allowing for each keystroke's volume and tone to decay in a natural, organic fashion, all dependent on how the player presses each key. The Resonance System can also be used to pick out harmonic relationships that coordinate between separate notes, allowing for additional likeness to the sounds of an actual grand piano.
Adjustable Lid Position and Lid Simulator
The GP-500 allows for aesthetic customization thanks to an Adjustable Lid Position. The adjustments made not only affect the design to the player's own preference, but also change the position of the two top speakers to adjust the sound direction. The Lid Simulator can then take effect by acknowledging the lid position, and altering the sound to mimic that of an acoustic grand piano's.
Hall Simulator and Listening Position
The GP-500 features twelve individual simulations of a hall sound. All twelve of the Hall Simulator's effects are based upon separate, compelling venues, meaning the player can experience the sound of sitting in the audience whilst still sat in the playing position.
Volume Sync EQ and Headphone Mode
The GP-500 can easily accommodate for those playing at home, or just for quiet use. The Volume Sync EQ will balance the sounds accordingly no matter what volume, and the Headphone Mode is perfect for the full sound of the GP-500, without disturbing the neighbours.

Sophism is a method of teaching. In ancient Greece, sophists were a category of teachers who specialized in using the techniques of philosophy and rhetoric for the purpose of teaching arete — excellence, or virtue — predominantly to young statesmen and nobility. The practice of charging money for education and providing wisdom only to those who could pay led to the condemnations made by Socrates, through Plato in his dialogues, as well as Xenophon's Memorabilia. Through works such as these, Sophists were portrayed as "specious" or "deceptive", hence the modern meaning of the term.
The term originated from Greek σόφισμα, sophisma, from σοφίζω, sophizo "I am wise"; confer σοφιστής, sophistēs, meaning "wise-ist, one who does wisdom," and σοφός, sophós means "wise man".

Sophists of ancient Greece
The Greek word sophist (sophistēs) derives from the words sophia, and sophos, meaning "wisdom" or "wise" since the time of Homer and was originally used to describe expertise in a particular knowledge or craft.[1] Gradually, however, the word also came to denote general wisdom and especially wisdom about human affairs (for example, in politics, ethics, or household management). This was the meaning ascribed to the Greek Seven Sages of 7th and 6th century BC (such as Solon and Thales), and it was the meaning that appeared in the histories of Herodotus. Richard Martin refers to the seven sages as "performers of political poetry."[2]
Sophists were philosopher-teachers who traveled about in Greece teaching their students everything that was necessary to be successful in life including rhetoric and public speaking. These were useful skills, where being persuasive could lead to political power and economic wealth. Athens became the center of their activity, due to their tolerance of freedom of speech and the available wealth. There were numerous differences among Sophist teachings, and they lectured on subjects that were as diverse as semantics and rhetoric, to ontology, epistemology. Sophists taught their beliefs for a considerable price.
Sophists became popular following the development of thought and society in Athens, in the fifth century B.C. They offered practical education with teachings that included speculation on the nature of the universe as well as the art of life and politics. They believed that law was an agreement between people and that Prodicus, Hippias, Thrasymachus, Callicles, Lycophron, Antiphon, and Cratylus are the most well-known.
Early Sophists were well respected but they soon became unpopular and were subject to much opposition and controversy due to their high fees and their radical challenges to convention. The only citizens who had the money to learn from the Sophists came from the aristocratic class, meaning that many citizens were unable to learn from them. Sophist teachers were also thought to cater to the popular opinion to attract a greater number of students rather than being concerned with the truth.
Before the writing of Plato, the word "sophist" could be used as either a respectful or contemptuous title, much like way the word "intellectual" can be used today. It was in Plato's dialogue, Sophist, that the first record of an attempt to answer the question "What is a Sophist?" is made. Plato described Sophists as paid hunters after the young and wealthy, as merchants of knowledge, as athletes in a contest of words, and purgers of souls. From Plato's assessment of Sophists it could be concluded that Sophists do not offer true knowledge, but only an opinion of things. Plato describes them as shadows of the true early Sophists and wrote, "...the art of contradiction making, descended from an insincere kind of conceited mimicry, of the semblance-making breed, derived from image making, distinguished as portion, not divine but human, of production, that presents, a shadow play of words—such are the blood and the lineage which can, with perfect truth, be assigned to the authentic Sophist". Plato sought to separate the Sophist from the Philosopher. Where a Sophist was a person who makes his living through deception, a philosopher was a lover of wisdom who sought truth. To give the Philosophers greater credence, the Sophists had to receive a negative connotation.[3]
Most sophists claimed to teach arête ("excellence" or "virtue") in the management and administration of not only one's affairs, but the city's as well. Before the fifth century B.C., it was believed that aristocratic birth qualified a person for arête and politics. However, Protagoras, who is regarded as the first Sophist, explained that arête is the result of training rather than birth.
Protagoras was one of the most well-known and successful teachers. He taught his students the necessary skills and knowledge for a successful life, particularly in politics, rather than philosophy. He trained his pupils to argue from both points of view because he believed that truth could not be limited to just one side of the argument. Protagoras wrote about a variety of subjects and some fragments of his work survived. He is the author of the famous saying, "Man is the measure of all things," which is the opening sentence of a work called Truth.[4]
Gorgias is another well-known Sophist. Gorgias' writings showcase his ability of making ridiculous and unpopular positions appear stronger. Gorgias authored a lost work known as On the Non-Existent, which centers on the argument that nothing exists. In it, he attempts to persuade his readers that thought and existence was different.[5]
In comparison, Socrates accepted no fee, instead professed a self-effacing posture, which he exemplified by Socratic questioning (i.e. the Socratic method, although Diogenes Laertius wrote that Protagoras the sophist invented the "Socratic" method[6][7]). His attitude towards the Sophists was by no means oppositional; in one dialogue Socrates even stated that the Sophists were better educators than he was,[8] which he validated by sending one of his students to study under a sophist.[9] W. K. C. Guthrie classified Socrates as a Sophist in his History of Greek Philosophy.[9]
Only portions of the Sophists' writings have survived and they are mainly known from Plato, a philosopher who helped lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Plato studied philosophy under the guidance from Socrates. Plato discusses his view on the Sophists' thought, although his attitude is generally hostile. Due to his opposition, he is largely responsible for the modern view of the sophist as a stingy instructor who deceives. He depicts Socrates as refuting some sophists in several Dialogues. These texts depict the sophists in an unflattering light, and it is unclear how accurate or fair Plato's representation of them may be; however, Protagoras and Prodicus are portrayed in a largely positive light in Protagoras (dialogue). Another contemporary, the comic playwright Aristophanes, criticizes the sophists as hairsplitting wordsmiths. Aristophanes made no distinction between sophists and philosophers as Socrates did, and believed both would argue any position for the right fee. In the comedic play The Clouds by Aristophanes, Strepsiades seeks the help of Socrates (a parody of the actual philosopher) in an effort to avoid paying his debts. In the play, Socrates promises to teach Strepsiades' son to argue his way out of paying his debts.
Some scholars, such as Ugo Zilioli[10] argue that the sophists held a relativistic view on cognition and knowledge. However, this may involve the Greek word "doxa," which means "culturally shared belief" rather than "individual opinion." Their philosophy contains criticism of religion, law, and ethics.
In some cases, such as Gorgias, some of his works survived, allowing the author to be judged on his own terms. In most cases, however, knowledge of sophist thought comes from fragmentary quotations that lack context. Many of these quotations come from Aristotle, who seems to have held the sophists in slight regard.
From the late 1st century AD the Second Sophistic, a philosophical and rhetorical movement, was the chief expression of intellectual life. The term "Second Sophistic" comes from Philostratos, who rejecting the term "New Sophistic" traced the beginnings of the movement to the orator Aeschines in the 4th century BC. But its earliest representative was really Nicetas of Smyrna, in the late 1st century AD. Unlike the original Sophistic movement of the 5th century BC, the Second Sophistic was little concerned with politics. But it was, to a large degree, to meet the everyday needs and respond to the practical problems of Graeco-Roman society. It came to dominate higher education and left its mark on many forms of literature.
Despite the opposition from philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, it is clear that Sophists had a vast influence on a number of spheres, including the growth of knowledge and on ethical political theory. Their teachings, although controversial, had a huge influence on thought in the fifth century B.C. The Sophists turned away from the theoretical natural science to the more sensible examination of human affairs and the betterment and success of human life. They explained that divine deities could no longer be the explanation of human action.
Owing largely to the influence of Plato and Aristotle, philosophy came to be regarded as distinct from sophistry, the latter being regarded as specious and rhetorical, a practical discipline. Thus, by the time of the Roman Empire, a sophist was simply a teacher of rhetoric and a popular public speaker. For instance, Libanius, Himerius, Aelius Aristides, and Fronto were sophists in this sense.
Sophists and democracy
The sophists' rhetorical techniques were extremely useful for any young nobleman looking for public office. The societal roles the Sophists filled had important ramifications for the Athenian political system at large. The historical context provides evidence for their considerable influence, as Athens became more and more democratic during the period in which the Sophists were most active.[11]
The Sophists certainly were not directly responsible for Athenian democracy, but their cultural and psychological contributions played an important role in its growth. They contributed to the new democracy in part by espousing expertise in public deliberation, since this was the foundation of decision-making, which allowed and perhaps required a tolerance of the beliefs of others. This liberal attitude would naturally have precipitated into the Athenian assembly as Sophists acquired increasingly high-powered clients.[12] Continuous rhetorical training gave the citizens of Athens "the ability to create accounts of communal possibilities through persuasive speech".[13] This was extremely important for the democracy, as it gave disparate and sometimes superficially unattractive views a chance to be heard in the Athenian assembly.
In addition, Sophists had great impact on the early development of law, as the sophists were the first lawyers in the world. Their status as lawyers was a result of their extremely developed argumentation skills.[14]
Sophists and education
The Sophists were notorious for claiming to teach virtue/excellence and for accepting fees for teaching. The influence of this stance on education in general, and medical education in particular, has been described by Seamus Mac Suibhne.[15]
Modern usage
In modern usage, sophism, sophist and sophistry are re-purposed and used derogatorily. A sophism is a specious argument for displaying ingenuity in reasoning or for deceiving someone.[16] A sophist is a person who reasons with clever but fallacious and deceptive arguments. Authentic Sophists as described by Plato, would enjoy the discussion of the modern usage and shift of definition, as the dialogue would be of the nature that the Sophists employed. [17]

Drake: England's Greatest Seafarer
Not available
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Few historians immersed themselves in their topics like best-selling, noted author Ernle Bradford. Specializing in the Mediterranean world and naval topics, Bradford was an enthusiastic sailor himself and spent almost thirty years sailing the Mediterranean, where many of his acclaimed books are set. He served in the Royal Navy during World War II, finishing as the first Lieutenant of a destroyer, and afterwards worked as an editor and correspondent for the BBC. Now, E-Reads is proud to present his engaging series of military histories to a new generation of readers. DRAKE England's Greatest Seafarer Sir Francis Drake is one of the great heroes of British exploration. Early in his career, he engaged in piracy and illegal slave trading. In 1577 he was recruited to lead an expedition around the southern tip of South America, through the Strait of Magellan and helped open new trade routes that allowed Great Britain to compete effectively with the much larger Spanish Navy and the Spanish colonies that dominated the Atlantic coast of South America. He continued across the Pacific Ocean and around the tip of Africa and home to England, becoming the first Englishman to sail around the world. Drake also played a key role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada which was threatening to invade and conquer England in 1588. Vastly outnumbered, Drake helped lead daring raids on the Armada while it was anchored in Spanish ports, destroying dozens of ships and sowing confusion and fear. Don't miss all of Ernle Bradford's titles from E-Reads: The Great Siege; Hannibal; Thermopylae; Drake; Nelson; The Mighty Hood; The Great Ship; Gibraltar; Julius Caesar, The Great Betrayal; Christopher Columbus; The Shield and the Sword; The Wind From the North; Paul the Traveler; The Journeying Moon; and The Wind Off the Island.

sciencehabit writes "Imagine life on a spaceship headed to Mars. You and your five crewmates work, exercise, and eat together every day under the glow of fluorescent lights. As the months pass, the sun gets dimmer and communication with Earth gets slower. What does this do to your body? According to an Earth-based experiment in which six volunteers stayed in a windowless 'spaceship' for nearly a year and a half, the monotony, tight living space, and lack of natural light will probably make you sleep more and work less. Space, for all intents and purposes, turns you into a couch potato."
