Recently, I got a new pair of headphone that I really love (Fostex t50rp, modded by zach915m, he did a great job on them, btw).
I really enjoy listening to them at home, but now whenever I use my portable equipment (esp. while commuting to work, or at the office), it all sounds so thin and lifeless in comparison. So I decided I want to bridge this gap and find a way to get a similar listening experience when I'm not at home too.
I bought a Nova N1 player, and frankly, I'm a bit disappointed with its SQ. It's not that it sounds bad. It is significantly better than using my smartphone, but it is still markedly inferior to my listening experience at home. And it's not that I'm using some ultra-expensive high-end audio gear at home. All I have is Headphonia's USB DAC cable (the one with Wolfson WM8740) plus Headphonia's Lyrix Pro amp. Bought them used from ebay a couple of years ago, and payed less than 80$ for both of them together.
At first, I thought it was because the built-in amp of the Nova N1 was underpowered for the relatively hard to drive Fostex, but I tried it with my RE0 IEMs too, and there was still a significant difference in quality. First, it sounds less open and lively, which probably have to do with the amp, but also there is less clarity and there is some background hiss with the Nova.
So now the question is, is there something else I could try? Unfortunately, I don't have the budget to buy the iBasso DX100, the iRiver AK100 or the Colorfly C4. I can spend up to 300$ for either a DAP with a strong built-in amp, or a DAP+amp combo. Any suggestions?

Tutorial: Guide to Variable Voltage / Variable Wattage Mods
Welcome to Misthub's Guide to Variable Voltage / Variable Wattage Mods. While these devices were once rare and very costly, the rapid evolution of vaping has made these devices quite popular, widely available and very affordable. Today we will discuss what is a variable voltage / variable wattage device, how they work, and the various advantages and disadvantages of these devices. What Is A VV/VW Mod? A VV/VW Mod at it's simplest is a battery powered vaping device that uses circuitry to regulate its output power and allows adjustment of it's output power in two ways: 1. By adjusting the voltage. 2. By adjusting the wattage. Additionally these devices employ protection circuitry to provide a wide variety of safety features to protect the user and/or prevent damage to the device itself. The safety features of VV/VW Mods make them a fantastic device for new and veteran vapers alike. Today, there is a massive selection of these types of these devices. Their maximum output power and other features are just as varied. With so many choices in devices it's good to know they are all quite similar internally. These devices are controlled by a micro processor which is what allows for and controls the variable settings, safety features, and secondary features like displaying battery life, atomizer resistance, etc. The only significant internal differences are the microprocessor itself, whether it uses replaceable or internal batteries, and if those batteries are in a parallel or a series circuit. Battery placement determines if... Learn more
Tutorial: Ohms Law and Vape Safety Calculator
Overview of Ohms Law and Vape Safety Mechanical mods, high wattage regulated mods, rebuild-able dripping atomizers and rebuild-able tank atomizers are becoming extremely popular. Most experienced vapers quickly realize the cost savings of rebuilding and make simple RDA's / RBA's and RTA's part of their daily life. It's no surprise - for the cost of a pack of coils you could buy a year supply of kanthal wire and organic cotton - the building blocks of most vape coils built today. Additionally, self build coils in RDA's tend to produce a lot more vapor and superb flavor over traditional coils, but this post is not about that. This post is about vaping safely and what that means. Let's face it, a metal tube with a high voltage battery or a high wattage (think 150W) box mod with two is nothing to smirk at. You are putting that thing right next to your eyes, mouth and face and firing (activating) it. You WANT to be safe! Before building your first coil, it is highly recommended to buy an ohms meter. This is a device that will tell you the resistance of the coils on your atomizer. Armed with resistance (Ω) you will be able to easily figure out if your setup is safe. But first, what exactly is "safety" when it comes to mods and e-cigs? Easy, the batteries used today for most mechanical and box mods are either 18650 or 26650 series batteries. These batteries vary in Amps - amps... Learn more
Tutorial: Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage for E-cigs
Introduction to Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage for E-cigs There is a lot of confusion between variable voltage vs. variable wattage for e-cigs. Both variable voltage and variable wattage are technologies that control the power output delivered to your e-juice delivery device like atomizer, cartomizer, or clearomizer. If you are unfamiliar with different types of e-liquid delivery devices be sure to check out our Tutorial: Atomizer vs. Cartomizer vs. Clearomizer. Some people prefer variable voltage to variable wattage, and in most cases it boils down to skill level and the level of control you want when vaping. Although, variable voltage and variable wattage control power output of your battery, they achieve the same result in a different way. The choice between variable voltage and variable wattage comes into play if your tend to switch between different types, brands and models of atomizers, cartomizers, and clearmizers. As you know from our previous tutorials, different type, brands, and models come with different resistance levels of coils. To achieve desired power output while using a variable voltage battery you will need to know the resistance level of your e-juice delivery device. Using the Vaping Power Chart and the resistance level (in Ohms) you will need to cross-reference or calculate appropriate voltage to achieve desired power output or wattage. With variable wattage feature resistance level of a coil is calculated automatically by a microprocessor of electronic cigarette. There is no need to use Vaping Power Chart or do calculations by hand. However, it is... Learn more
Tutorial: Variable Voltage and Vaping Power Chart
Significance of Variable Voltage and Vaping Power Chart Modern electronic cigarettes come with many features and one of these features is variable voltage. Not every e-cigarette comes with option of variable voltage, some already come with preconfigured constant power output. These types of e-cigarette are simple to use and more suitable for beginners. They deliver predesigned power to model specific atomizer, cartomizer, or clearomizer. However, more advance users prefer an option of variable voltage which allows them to control power output to achieve ideal vapor production. Them main reason why you would choose a variable voltage electronic cigarette over constant power e-cigarette, is the variety of different types and brands of atomizers, cartomizers, and clearomizers on the market today. If you are unfamiliar with different types of e-juice delivery devices be sure to check out our Tutorial: Atomizer vs. Cartomizer vs. Clearomizer. Different types and brands of atomizers, cartomizers, and clearomizers all have one thing in common, they all have some type of heating coil which converts power delivered by your batter to heat. The heating coil can have different resistence level, which simply means that it requires different power levels to achieve ideal heating temperature. Consequently, variable voltage option allows you to set ideal power output depending on brand and model of atomizers, cartomizers, and clearomizers you are using. It is important to note that highest voltage is usually not ideal power setting and can lead to burning of e-juice or even risk of coil burnout. Therefore, always pay... Learn more
Tutorial: Guide to Sub-Ohm Vaping
What is Sub-Ohm Vaping? What is sub-ohm vaping? Simply put it is vaping on a device whose atomizer coils have a resistance of less than one ohm. The reason some advanced vapers "sub-ohm" is to increase the power output of fixed voltage devices like mechanical vape mods and non-variable regulated devices to create more vapor or flavor. Although it might sound simple it's actually a complex and often controversial topic within the vaping community. The goal of this guide is to make sure you have accurate information so you can decide if sub-ohm vaping is right for you. How Does Sub-Ohm Vaping Work? All mechanical mods, VV/VW regulated mods and e-cigarettes are electrical devices powered by a battery. Sub-ohm vaping utilizes the principles of Ohm's and Joule's laws of electricity. For our purposes this means, a non-variable voltage source like for instance the battery in a mechanical vape mod will increase the overall power output (wattage) of your device when you decrease the resistance (ohms) of your coils. It is absolutely crucial that sub-ohm vaping must be done safely. As you decrease your resistance you will increase the amperage your device uses to supply the current needed. This increases the strain on the battery and also increases heat that the battery and coils generate. For this reason you must ensure that you never exceed the amperage limit of your battery or it could fail causing possible fire or explosion. Is Sub-Ohm Vaping Dangerous? Is sub-ohm vaping dangerous? The honest... Learn more
Tutorial: NiChrome vs Ni-200 vs Titanium vs Kanthal vs Stainless Steel Vape Wire
Welcome to Misthub's Guide to different wires for building coils. Here we will discuss the differences between NiChrome, Ni-200, Titanium, Kanthal and Stainless Steel. Although these wires will all serve the same purpose, there are some fundamental differences that place them worlds apart. It is because of this that we're going to dive deep into the science of these different types of wire and help you decide which wire will be best for you and your build. Nickel-Chromium Vape Wire NiChrome was the metal that started it all. It became well known and widely used back in 1905 when scientists realized it possessed anti-oxidizing properties, allowing the metal to function at high heats without being damaged through oxidation. NiChrome is a resistance wire that is popularly used in most electric heating elements, hot-wire foam cutters as well as household appliances and tools. Due to its ability to rapidly heat quickly with minimal ramp-up time, NiChrome has become the wire of choice for a vast majority of e-cigarette coils that come out of China as well as the preferred wire for cloud-chasing builds. When compared to Kanthal, NiChrome has a lower melting temperature as well as a lower maximum operating temperature. Simply put, this means that the life expectancy of a NiChrome coil will typically be shorter than that of a Kanthal coil. Worry not, these temperatures are negligible as most devices will not exceed the melting point of either metal. In comparison, they both support similar features despite NiChrome... Learn more
Tutorial: Tank Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Welcome to MistHub's Guide to Tank Maintenance and Troubleshooting. Here we will discuss how to perform routine maintenance on your tank atomizers to keep them functioning in top condition. We will also discuss some common problems and their solutions. First, let's take a look at how to properly use a brand new tank or a new coil you just installed in your tank. New Tank / New Coils Whenever you install a new coil you will want to make sure that you prime it before using it. Priming a coil will ensure that the wick in it is saturated with e-juice prior to its first use. This substantially lowers the possibility of burning your wick or damaging your coil. To prime your coil you will want to place 4-5 drops of e-juice directly into the coil head. Install the coil head by threading it into the tank's base. You will then fill and assemble your tank. For best results you should wait 5-10 minutes before its first use. If you are in a hurry and cannot wait the 5-10 minutes you should at least wait 1-2 minutes, close the airflow and take several deep pulls without firing your device. You should be able to then re-open the airflow and use the tank normally without issue. When To Change Coils When exactly to change your coil heads is not quite as cut and dry because of the wide variety of different coil heads and atomizers available. Different coil... Learn more
Tutorial: Guide to Different Types of Atomizers
Atomizers: Disposable, Replaceable or Rebuildable. Which Atomizer Type Is Right For You? Today there is an ever increasing selection of different types of atomizers available to the vaping community. This wide selection allows for greater customization of your individual vaping experience. Since each individual atomizer is different from the next you should consider the various advantages and disadvantages of each in order to decide which is right for you. One of the biggest questions someone needs to ask themselves before selecting a new atomizer is whether you prefer an atomizer that is disposable or one that uses replaceable coils or rebuildable coils. Here we will try help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can choose the atomizer that is right for you. Disposable Atomizers Disposable atomizers like the Innokin iClear 10 Clearomizer are usually what most people new to vaping will have their first experiences with. Commonly included with most starter kits these type of atomizers are usually inexpensive and widely available. Most often disposable atomizers are used until they are hard to draw air though or until they start to gurgle signaling it is time to replace the entire atomizer. These atomizers are inexpensive making them easy and quick to replace if damaged, lost, or when it reaches the end of its useful lifespan. Since the entire atomizer gets replaced each time over a long period of time they are often more costly than the initially more expensive counterparts which use non-disposable atomizers with replaceable...

Tutorial: Single Coil vs Dual Coil
Overview of Single Coil vs Dual Coil Lets begin our discussion on Single Coil vs Dual Coil by explaining basic structure of an e-juice delivery device. No matter what type of atomizer, cartomizer, or clearomizer you have they all have three basic elements: E-Juice tank or reservoir. Atomizers hold the least amount of e-juice, while clearomizers and cartomizers have much higher capacity for e-juice. Base with a thread to connect battery to a heating element Heating element or coil. Some models and types of atomizer, cartomizer, or clearomizer come with Single Coil or Dual Coil configurations. If you are unfamiliar with different types of e-liquid delivery devices be sure to check out our Tutorial: Atomizer vs Cartomizer vs Clearomizer. So what is the difference between Single Coil vs Dual Coil configuration? Is one better than another? A simple answer would be, it all depends on your preference. Although each configuration has its pros and cons, it all comes down to how you vape. To help you better understand the difference between Single Coil vs Dual Coil we will go through basic designs and explain how each configuration works. We will also discuss pros and cons. However, once you know and understand the concepts of both configurations we would still recommend trying for your self Single Coil vs Dual Coil e-juice delivery device. When you say word "coil" we refer to a heating element in your atomizer, cartomizer, or clearomizer. Any e-juice device on the market today has such heating element... Learn more
Tutorial: Atomizer vs. Cartomizer vs. Clearomizer
Overview of Atomizer vs. Cartomizer vs. Clearomizer Atomizer, Cartomizer, and Clearomizer are device that you screw on a battery or power supply to deliver e-juice (e-liquid) in a vapor form. These are three major type of devices on the market today. All three type of devices work on the same principle of heating e-juice to a temperature of vaporization. It is important to note that there is no clear winner between Atomizer, Cartomizer, and Clearomizer. Some people prefer one over the other, and each has its own pros and cons which we will discuss in more details below. If you are unfamiliar with some of the terms in this tutorial please refer to our Electronic Cigarette 101 – Jargon and Terms Glossary. Overview of an Atomizer Atomizers are one of the original devices. They have a fairly small capacity and are best for people who prefer dripping.

Seriously, I love this game.

How long was the demo up for anyway? Seeing as silver users have to wait a week, there must not have been much opportunity to download the damn demo for us...weird.

Play on expert..Recently downloaded the demo and I gotta say I'm disappointed. The combat isn't very satisfying and I never really felt threatened.
And for the record, the full game is horribly difficult even on Advanced, during the later stages of the chapters :O
Its an absolutely amazing game, the feeling you get from the total chaos when 50 zombies run at you, while your friends are being pulled back by giant tongues, while the music intensifies and the distant whimpering of a witch requires you to have your flashlights off in order to not alert her...
Not much else comes close, the only other game delivering the same feel would be Dead Space <3
Game is in a class of it's own! buy it!
I liked the demo, i'm sure it'll have legs online on the 360 in the campaign. But i think the playing as the zombies will be nothing more than a cheap novelty.
Hopefully the AI director will live up to its promise..you dont really get a good idea of it in the demo. And when playing online you're bound to end up playing the same chapter thats favoured on the servers like any map, so the AI director really needs to keep things random and fresh there.
When I played it online, my entire group was knocked down once and I ended up alone. Of course I wanted to help them up, but they were pretty far away. Suddenly a huge horde of zombies came out of nowhere and I ran to a small dark room to hide. I closed the door and turned on the flashlight while the zombies started breaking down the door in front of me. I quickly switched from pistols to my Uzi hoping that I just might survive this. Just as I got the weapon up ready to face the zombies I realized that I was out of ammo..
Anyway i hadn't noticed the time untill i realised the wife/kids had gone to bed, it was 23.00! i started at 21.00 and got so engrossed in the game i didn't even know what was going on in my own house lol!
So first ep took us 2hrs and we didn't even get to complete it! im guessing those divs over at IGN only played it on Easy and ran through the game without checking out the complete map.
Also im on PC so im betting it will take you longer on 360 what with the controller slowing you down?

Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri, best known for her memorable roles in "Californication" and "The Banger Sisters," is determined not to stress about her figure as she anticipates her wedding to Fox Soccer Channel commentator Kyle Martino.
"I want to be able to have a slider two nights before my wedding and not freak out about it," she tells People. That said, she has been doing her best to keep in shape. "I'm a huge fan of the bar method, and I've been doing it for the past year or so."
"I think I'm going to take a break and then restart right before my wedding so that everything looks as good as it can," she says. "I try not to get too crazy about it. Actually, when I was
so crazy about working out is when I was heavier. And it's funny when
you just relax about it."
Amurri is currently working on "I Hate You, Dad," a comedy starring Adam Sander, Will Forte, Leighton Meester, and Susan Sarandon. When a fan asked Amurri via Twitter if she was playing the younger version of her mother's character, Amurri cheekily responded, "Nope she is playing older version of ME!"

A man is dead after an early morning home-invasion robbery and shooting in Morada, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office.
The victim, identified as Mark Henry Dentoni, 43, was killed shortly after 2 a.m. by armed men who entered his residence in the 8000 block of Hildreth Lane, the Sheriff's Office reported.
"Deputies responded after receiving reports of a man shot, and they found the victim in a separate building on the property that had a marijuana grow," said Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
The road was closed for a block in each direction for more than 12 hours as detectives investigated the scene.
Garcia would not speculate if the people who robbed the home knew it was a marijuana-growing operation.

A classic male singer, Kurt Elling has an old-school vibe to everything from his mannered stage banter to his declamatory, full-chested delivery. But he isn't afraid to write brainy, twisty lyrics over an obscure jazz number, or take a pop song back to the drawing board. He can do a lot with his voice, you see, and the band featuring long-time collaborator Laurence Hobgood, a pianist, helps to set the stage.

VeriSign Ups the Ante for IP Wireless Connect
Net2Phone is the first consumer play to trial VeriSign's IP Wireless Connect converged mobile Wi-Fi solution.
VeriSign's IP Wireless Connect has passed a significant milestone with the trial of its service by Net2Phone, which was recently announced.
VeriSign is well known for the core role it plays in the Internet's infrastructure, currently managing the .com and .net domains with its ATLAS technology. VeriSign's Network Routing Directory is based on ATLAS, and is an effort to help carriers centralize and manage addresses and service location profiles. The Wireless IP Connect Service component provides a single interconnection point for cellular-to-Wi-Fi interoperability, providing cell phones with an IP address within Wi-Fi connectivity areas.
VoIP provider Net2Phone is now in trial with the service, enabling its members to send and receive calls over either traditional mobile networks or Wi-Fi. According to Tom Kershaw, vice president of next generation services at VeriSign, the Net2Phone trial is significant because it is the service's first announcement of a consumer application. To date, VeriSign has announced four customers running the Wireless IP Connect Service in VeriSign's trial environment.
"As we continue to move forward we learn how this technology can best fit consumers, how it can benefit carriers and how it can integrate into a VoIP offering," Kershaw told VoIPplanet.com. "Net2Phone, being a VoIP operator, has a different perspective than a wireless carrier, it's important for us to explore and have the market understand how a consumer VoIP application can leverage wireless to provide a more complete solution."
According to Kershaw one of the things that VeriSign's solution does is facilitate the integration of IP islands. "One of the things we're doing with IP Wireless Connect is providing IP-to-wireless integration," Kershaw said. "On the carrier side it does IP-to-IP trunking, so when an IP device in carrier 1 is talking to an IP device on carrier 2 it will go end-to-end over the IP network leveraging NRD (Network Routing Directory)."
"It's IP trunking under the covers and it's mostly SIP but it doesn't have to be, there are other protocols that can be used," Kershaw added. "In the enterprise, there is still a lot of H.323 out there that we're able to leverage. The large carriers they are looking to do peering through ENUM."
ENUM "We view ENUM as protocol much like any other protocol that we support on our connect suite. You can issue us a query with ENUM, SIP, H.323, SS7," Kershaw said." "We try to be protocol agnostic when it comes to providing addressing services to operators."
VeriSign's Wireless IP Connect service is still in trial, and still has a number of challenges left to overcome. According to Kershaw one of the biggest is handset availability. He characterized the availability of production-quality dual-mode handsets as a "work in progress."
"Handset availabilityand getting all the features that the wireless operators have built up over the last 10 years to work in a VoIP environmentwill take a lot of work," Kershaw commented.
Kershaw's sees the biggest competing technology to be UMA, which uses traditional SS7 and mobile signaling and just uses Wi-Fi as a radio tower replacement. UMA is in stark contrast to the VeriSign approach, which has been to implement SIP and try and integrate the technology with VoIP infrastructure that is being deployed in order to enable a "more differentiated feature set."
"SIP creates some challenges from emulating all the features of the mobile network," Kershaw said. "But the long term benefits of having a tightly integrated Internet offering far outweigh the negatives."

The 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox went to the White House on Tuesday to celebrate, and David Ortiz marked the occasion by snapping a selfie with the president.
Ortiz, Boston's best-known player, presented Pres. Obama with a "44" Sox jersey before taking out his phone and requesting a photo. He tweeted, "What an honor! Thanks for the #selfie, @BarackObama."
Samsung retweeted the photo almost immediately, and told curious followers the photo was shot with a GalaxyNote3.
Boston.com confirmed the shot was part of a marketing campaign for Samsung, who has paid to promote it on Twitter. Ortiz had signed a deal with Samsung on Monday to become a social media insider.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told Bloomberg the White House had no prior knowledge the photo would become part of a marketing campaign. The president's image is normally protected from unauthorized endorsement.

text: Honduras Coup, Chavez and the U.S.June 29, 2009 Could the diplomatic thaw between Venezuela and the United States be coming to an abrupt end? At the recent Summit of the Americas held in Port of Spain, Barack Obama shook Venezuelan President Hugo ChßvezÆs hand and declared that he would pursue a less arrogant foreign policy towards Latin America. Building on that good will, Venezuela and the United States agreed to restore their ambassadors late last week. The diplomatic overtures provided a stark contrast to the miserable state of relations during the Bush years: just nine months ago Venezuela expelled the U.S. envoy in a diplomatic tussle. At the time, Chßvez said he kicked the U.S. ambassador out to demonstrate solidarity with left ally Bolivia, which had also expelled a top American diplomat after accusing him of blatant political interference in the Andean nationÆs internal affairs. Whatever goodwill existed last week however could now be undone by turbulent political events in Honduras. Following a military coup dÆetat in the small Central American nation on Sunday, Chßvez accused the U.S. of helping to orchestrate the overthrow of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya. ōBehind these soldiers are the Honduran bourgeois, the rich who converted Honduras into a Banana Republic, into a political and military base for North American imperialism,ö Chßvez said. The Venezuelan leader urged the Honduran military to return Zelaya to power and even threatened military action against the coup regime if VenezuelaÆs ambassador was killed or local troops entered the Venezuelan Embassy. Reportedly, Honduran soldiers beat the ambassador and left him on the side of a road in the course of the military coup. Tensions have ratcheted up to such an extent that Chßvez has now placed his armed forces on alert. To be sure, Chßvez has a certain taste for hyperbole and has not provided any proof that the U.S. could be behind the coup in Honduras. On the surface at least it seems unlikely that Obama would endorse an interventionist U.S. foreign policy in Central America. Over the past few months the U.S. President has gone to great lengths to ōre-brandö America in the eyes of the world as a reasonable power engaged in respectful diplomacy as opposed to reckless unilateralism. If it were ever proven that Obama sanctioned the overthrow of a democratically elected government this could completely undermine the U.S. PresidentÆs carefully crafted image and lead many to conclude that he is just as cynical as his predecessor. Officially the military removed Zelaya from power because the Honduran President had abused his authority. On Sunday Zelaya hoped to hold a constitutional referendum which could have allowed him to run for reelection for another four year term, a move which HondurasÆ Supreme Court and Congress declared illegal. But while the controversy over ZelayaÆs constitutional referendum certainly provided the lightning rod for military intervention, itÆs no secret that the President was at odds politically with the Honduran elite for the past few years and had become one of WashingtonÆs fiercest critics in the region. The Rise of Zelaya Zelaya, who sports a thick black mustache, cowboy boots and large white Stetson hat, was elected in late 2005. At first blush he hardly seemed the type of politician to rock the boat. A landowner from a wealthy landowning family engaged in the lumber industry, Zelaya headed the Liberal Party, one of the two dominant political parties in Honduras. The President supported the Central American Free Trade Agreement which eliminated trade barriers with the United States. Despite these initial conservative leanings, Zelaya began to criticize powerful, vested interests in the country such as the media and owners of maquiladora sweatshops which produced goods for export in industrial free zones. Gradually he started to adopt some socially progressive policies. For example, Zelaya instituted a 60% minimum wage increase which angered the wealthy business community. The hike in the minimum wage, Zelaya declared, would ōforce the business oligarchy to start paying what is fair.ö ōThis is a government of great social transformations, committed to the poor,ö he added. Trade unions celebrated the decision, not surprising given that Honduras is the third poorest country in the hemisphere and 70% of its people live in poverty. When private business associations announced that they would challenge the governmentÆs wage decree in HondurasÆ Supreme Court, ZelayaÆs Labor Minister called the critics ōgreedy exploiters.ö In another somewhat jarring move that must have raised eyebrows in Washington, Zelaya declared during a meeting of Latin American and Caribbean anti-drug officials that drug consumption should be legalized to halt violence related to smuggling. In recent years Honduras has been plagued by drug trafficking and so-called maras or street gangs which carry out gruesome beheadings, rapes and eye gouging. ōInstead of pursuing drug traffickers, societies should invest resources in educating drug addicts and curbing their demand,ö Zelaya said. Rodolfo Zelaya, the head of a Honduran congressional commission on drug trafficking, rejected ZelayaÆs comments. He told participants at the meeting that he was ōconfused and stunned by what the Honduran leader said.ö Zelaya and ALBA Not content to stop there, Zelaya started to conduct an increasingly more independent foreign policy. In late 2007 he traveled to Cuba, the first official trip by a Honduran president to the Communist island in 46 years. There, Zelaya met with Raul Castro to discuss bilateral relations and other topics of mutual interest. But what really led Zelaya towards a political collision course with the Honduran elite was his decision to join the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (known by its Spanish acronym ALBA), an alliance of leftist Latin American and Caribbean nations headed by Chßvez. The regional trade group including Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Dominica seeks to counteract corporately-friendly U.S-backed free trade schemes. Since its founding in 2004, ALBA countries have promoted joint factories and banks, an emergency food fund, and exchanges of cheap Venezuelan oil for food, housing, and educational investment. In an emphatic departure from previous Honduran leaders who had been staunch allies of the U.S., Zelaya stated ōHonduras and the Honduran people do not have to ask permission of any imperialism to join the ALBA.ö Speaking in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa before a crowd of 50,000 unionists, womenÆs groups, farmers and indigenous peoples, Chßvez remarked that Venezuela would guarantee cheap oil to Honduras for ōat least 100 years.ö By signing onto ALBA, Zelaya was able to secure access to credit lines, energy and food benefits. As an act of good faith, Chßvez agreed to forgive Honduran debt to Venezuela amounting to $30 million. Infuriating the local elite, Chßvez declared that Hondurans who opposed ALBA were ōsellouts.ö ōI did not come here to meddle in internal affairs,ö he continued, ōbutģI cannot explain how a Honduran could be against Honduras joining the ALBA, the path of development, the path of integration.ö Hardly content to stop there, Chßvez lambasted the Honduran press which he labeled pitiyanquis (little Yanqui imitators) and ōabject hand-lickers of the Yanquis.ö For his part, Zelaya said ōwe need no oneÆs permission to sign this commitment. Today we are taking a step towards becoming a government of the center-left, and if anyone dislikes this, well just remove the word æcenterÆ and keep the second one.ö It wasnÆt long before private business started to bitterly attack Zelaya for moving Honduras into ChßvezÆs orbit. By joining ALBA, business representatives argued, the President was endangering free enterprise and the Central American Free Trade Agreement with the United States. Former President Ricardo Maduro even claimed that the United States might retaliate against Honduras by deporting Honduran migrants from the United States. ōDon't bite the hand that feeds you,ö Maduro warned, alluding to Washington. Zelaya was piqued by the criticisms. ōWhen I met with (U.S. President) George W. Bush,ö he said, ōno one called me an anti-imperialist and the business community applauded me. Now that I am meeting with the impoverished peoples of the world, they criticize me.ö ZelayaÆs Letter to Obama In September, 2008 Zelaya further strained U.S. relations by delaying accreditation of the new U.S. ambassador out of solidarity with Bolivia and Venezuela which had just gone through diplomatic dust ups with Washington. ōWe are not breaking relations with the United States,ö Zelaya said. ōWe only are (doing this) in solidarity with [Bolivian President] Morales, who has denounced the meddling of the United States in Bolivia's internal affairs.ö Defending his decision, Zelaya said small nations needed to stick together. ōThe world powers must treat us fairly and with respect,ö he stated. In November, Zelaya hailed ObamaÆs election in the U.S. as ōa hope for the world,ö but just two months later tensions began to emerge. In an audacious letter sent personally to Obama, Zelaya accused the U.S. of ōinterventionismö and called on the new administration in Washington to respect the principle of non-interference in the political affairs of other nations. According to Spanish news agency EFE which saw a copy of the note, Zelaya told Obama that it wasnÆt his intention to tell the U.S. President what he should or should not do. He then however went on to do precisely that. First of all, Zelaya brought up the issue of U.S. visas and urged Obama to ōrevise the procedure by which visas are cancelled or denied to citizens of different parts of the world as a means of pressure against those people who hold different beliefs or ideologies which pose no threat to the U.S.ö As if that was not impudent enough, Zelaya then moved on to drug trafficking: ōThe legitimate struggle against drug traffickingģshould not be used as an excuse to carry out interventionist policies in other countries.ö The struggle against drug smuggling, Zelaya wrote, ōshould not be divorced from a vigorous policy of controlling distribution and consumer demand in all countries, as well as money laundering which operates through financial circuits and which involve networks within developed countries.ö Zelaya also argued ōfor the urgent necessityö of revising and transforming the structure of the United Nations and ōto solve the Venezuela and Bolivia problemsö through dialogue which ōyields better fruit than confrontation.ö The Cuban embargo, meanwhile, ōwas a useless instrumentö and ōa means of unjust pressure and violation of human rights.ö Run Up to June Coup ItÆs unclear what Obama might have made of the audacious letter sent from the leader of a small Central American nation. It does seem however that Zelaya became somewhat disenchanted with the new administration in Washington. Just three months ago, the Honduran leader declined to attend a meeting of the System for Central American Integration (known by its Spanish acronym SICA) which would bring Central American Presidents together with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden in San Josķ, Costa Rica. Both Zelaya and President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua boycotted the meeting as they viewed it as a diplomatic affront. Nicaragua currently holds the presidency of SICA, and so the proper course of action should have been for Biden to have Ortega hold the meeting. Sandinista economist and former Nicaraguan Minister of Foreign Trade Alejandro MartĒnez Cuenca declared that the United States had missed a vital opportunity to encourage a new era of relations with Central America by ōprioritizing personal relations with [Costa Rican President] Arias over respect for Central America's institutional order.ö Could all of the contentious diplomatic back and forth between Tegucigalpa and Washington have turned the Obama administration against Zelaya? In the days ahead there will surely be a lot of attention and scrutiny paid to the role of Romeo Vasquez, a General who led the military coup against Zelaya. Vasquez is a graduate of the notorious U.S. School of the Americas, an institution which trained the Latin American military in torture. Are we to believe that the United States had no role in coordinating with Vasquez and the coup plotters? The U.S. has had longstanding military ties to the Honduran armed forces, particularly during the Contra War in Nicaragua during the 1980s. The White House however has rejected claims that the U.S. played a role. The New York Times has reported that the Obama administration knew that a coup was imminent and tried to persuade the military to back down. The paper writes that it was the Honduran military which broke off discussions with American officials. Obama himself has taken the high road, remarking ōI call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms [and] the rule of lawģAny existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference.ö Even if the Obama administration did not play an underhanded role in this affair, the Honduran coup highlights growing geo-political tensions in the region. In recent years, Chßvez has sought to extend his influence to smaller Central American and Caribbean nations. The Venezuelan leader shows no intention of backing down over the Honduran coup, remarking that ALBA nations ōwill not recognize any [Honduran] government that isn't ZelayaÆs.ö Chßvez then derided HondurasÆ interim president, Roberto Micheletti. ōMr. Roberto Micheletti will either wind up in prison or he'll need to go into exileģ If they swear him in we'll overthrow him, mark my words. Thugetti--as I'm going to refer to him from now on--you better pack your bags, because you're either going to jail or you're going into exile. We're not going to forgive your error, you're going to get swept out of there. We're not going to let it happen, we're going to make life impossible for you. President Manuel Zelaya needs to retake his position as president.ö With tensions running high, heads of ALBA nations have vowed to meet in Managua to discuss the coup in Honduras. Zelaya, who was exiled to Costa Rica from Honduras, plans to fly to Nicaragua to speak with his colleagues. With such political unity amongst ALBA nations, Obama will have to decide what the U.S. posture ought to be towards the incipient "Pink Tide" sweeping across Central America, a region which Washington traditionally viewed as its own ōbackyard.ö |

Burger Bar: Build Your Own Ultimate Burgers by Hubert Keller with Penelope Wisner, includes recipes like Buffalo Burger; Feijoada Burger; and Crab Sliders.
by Hubert Keller with Penelope Wisner
Chef Hubert Keller is known for elevating the ordinary burger into an extraordinary culinary pleasure. As the owner and chef of the Burger Bar restaurants in Las Vegas and St. Louis, Keller serves the finest quality burgers to thousands of satisfied diners—from teenagers to top chefs. Now, the man who led the charge in America's burger revolution shares his secrets in Burger Bar: Build Your Own Ultimate Burgers, showing you how to create your own mouthwatering, irresistible burgers.
In this cookbook, Keller expands on the "build-your-own" theme that has been such a success in his restaurants. Inside you will find a collection of 50 tantalizing recipes that show how to transform even plain ground chuck into body- and soul-satisfying burgers. The chapters include recipes with a focus on beef, other meats like lamb and bison, poultry, fish, even vegetarian burgers.
The recipes are an amazing display of Keller's burger mastery: the crowd-pleasing Blue-Cheese Stuffed Bacon Sliders, the simple but inventive Black Jack Burger with Black Angus beef and Jack cheese, more healthful but delicious Buffalo Burger, the luscious Provencal (Lamb) Burger, a hearty BBQ-style Open-Faced Chicken Burger, and so many more. Burger Bar will impress even die hard meat lovers with recipes for seared tuna, salmon, and shrimp burgers, not to mention hearty vegetarian delights like Southwestern Bean Burger and Roasted Pumpkin-Quinoa Burger.
And don't forget, no burger would be complete without a side of Keller's perfectly crisp French fries or gorgeous vegetable chips—and a rich, frothy milkshake, or fabulously cool cocktail.
One of Keller's specialties-dessert burgers—could soon be yours; his grand finales are shared with the details to help you make them at home. With some advance planning, the S'mores Burger—an eye-opening evolution of the classic marshmallow and chocolate treat—will be a hit with your family. In the whimsical Chocolate-Hazelnut Burger, rich chocolate ganache forms the burger, while a mango gelee is the lovely surprise that seems to be cheese, fresh mint serves as lettuce, and kiwi as pickles!
Illustrated throughout with gorgeous color photographs by Bill Milne, Burger Bar is the ultimate cookbook for anyone who wants to create their own iconic burgers at home—and become a legend at the next backyard barbecue.

ShannonGBW needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
global brand works is a start-up marketing consultancy who needs a logo. Once we get started there may be much more work for you on behalf of our clients!
global brand works
Our positioning statement is: "For companies who need a brand foundation, global brand works delivers a strategy and the practical tools needed to get them to the next level." We need a logo that expresses our personality: expert, passionate, smart, dependable, confident, authentic, creative, straight-forward, ethical, respected, and fun.
- The main color we would like to use is a light orange - something around PMS 137. A sub-color could be grey - but we are open to other options
- We prefer to not use capital letters - global brand works, not Global Brand Works
- A symbol we are interested in using is a "cog"
- A "look" we think would be appropriate is "industrial" - we want to create the impression that we are efficient, quick, and we get it done right the first time - like a factory churning out good work.
- We also like the idea of the look of a rubber stamp - because stamping connects to branding. For instance, for our business cards, we thought we could have a real rubber stamp created and produce them by hand ourselves.
- We normally want to avoid "gbw" but are willing to explore it if you can come up with a great application.
- The word "brand" is more important than the word "global" - please prioritize emphasis as such.
- We are a creative firm - we want to be unique, yet professional. The imagery we want to use is a cog - not a globe. Please do not include any globes.
- Please do not emphasize the word "global" - rather please emphasize the word "brand"

Annnnd boom goes the dynamite. The sequel the world has been holding its breath for is finally upon us. That's fuckin right yo -- coming soon from Disney Star Wars is Girl Meets World. Picking up where the critically acclaimed TGIF series left off, Girl Meets World will follow Cory and Topanga's pre-teen daughter in, uh, elementary? - junior high let's say.
As you can see from my source article, there are already debates going on about how they'll manage the creation of the new show without retconning the old one. Luckily that old classic was written to be interpreted in many ways, so hope of a "flawless victory" does exist.

Developer plans 37-story tower construction
SANTA ANA – Developer Michael Harrah said that he plans to break ground on the One Broadway Plaza office tower by next summer.
Harrah made the announcement as he and several other business and community leaders were thanked at Monday's Santa Ana City Council meeting by outgoing Councilwoman Claudia Alvarez for their contributions to the city.
Harrah, who has purchased and renovated a number of landmark properties in the downtown area, told the audience that his 17 years working in the city have been "glorious."
"I started out with the dream of building the tallest building in the history of Orange County," he said, "and that dream will probably come true here in the second quarter of 2013."
In an interview, Harrah said that in the past year he and his partners have been able to obtain financing "out of New York" for the $292 million construction project. He said that he expected financing to be finalized by April or May, with groundbreaking expected next June or July. The 37-story building would have 612,000 square feet.
Around the start of the year, he had anticipated costs of $300 million, but said that the economy has resulted in lower labor and materials costs.
"We also have three major tenants in tow that will fill the whole building," he said. "We have all the permits. We have the plans. We have the approvals. We have the tenants. And we have the money. We could literally start working today."
City officials said that construction could begin on the 2013 timetable Harrah outlined.
"The One Broadway Plaza project has received all of its approvals and the technical plans are now being finalized by the applicant to comply with the various building, structural, fire, electrical, mechanical and plumbing code requirements," said Jay Trevino, executive director of the city Planning & Building Agency. "Once this has been completed, and all other project requirements have been satisfied, the project may commence construction. The city is in regular communication with the applicant and is working with him toward the anticipated start date in 2013."
Plans for the 37-story tower, which would be the tallest building in Orange County, have been opposed by some residents, who say it would be out of character with the nearby downtown and would create traffic problems.
Harrah acknowledged the challenges the project has faced, but outlined several positive impacts it will have. He has predicting groundbreaking in the past, only to face delays.
He said since planning for the project began, a number of changes have taken place, with several City Councils in place, changes in federal law affecting banking and finance, and points at which he had tenants but no financing, or financing but no tenants lined up.
"If it had taken three or four years, it would be different," he said. He also predicted changes in the economy – for the better. "The economy I think is going to turn around in the next couple of years, and I think people are motivated to invest in our economy."
In addition to being the tallest building in Orange County, Harrah said it would be green and the safest high-rise in the region because of its compliance with new codes.
"We're going to put 2,900 people to work, union workers," he said of construction, expected to last about three years. "It'll bring in about $3 million a year in property taxes to the city, and the residual effects will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 10 years."
Plans for the development has come before voters, and also been litigated in court.
Santa Ana voters approved Harrah's proposal for the tower in a ballot measure in 2005.
In a lawsuit filed in 2010, a group calling itself Coalition for Accountable Government Ethics, or CAGE, demanded a new public vote on the One Broadway Plaza project after the City Council removed a requirement that Harrah lease at least half the space in the tower before construction could begin.
A Superior Court judge ruled that the city must seek voter approval of changes to a developer agreement between the city and Harrah. But the 4th District Court of Appeal last year ruled that the 2005 vote only concerned zoning changes to the One Broadway Plaza site at Tenth and Broadway, and not the development agreement. The appellate court struck down the order that the city hold a new referendum.
An official with Voit Commercial Brokerage said earlier this year said that Harrah, seeking to raise money for One Broadway Plaza, was offering the Santora Arts Building and the Original Mike's property for sale, with a plan to become a tenant and continue operating the restaurant.
Harrah said he has no plans to sell the Original Mike's property, and is keeping the Santora. Newsong church of Irvine had entered escrow to purchase it earlier this year, but the deal fell through.
"We're going to keep it now, and we're actually doing some improvements to the building now," Harrah said.
He said that he is already making plans to invite public officials and dignitaries to the One Broadway Plaza groundbreaking.
"We're going to try to get President Obama to show because of the number of people that'll be working there, and also for what it will do for Orange County," he said. "I believe it will spark a lot of new construction and it will get people to unite and work together within our community as a whole, for all of Orange County, to have the finest county in the United States."
Both Alvarez, who has served the maximum three consecutive terms on the City Council, and Councilman Carlos Bustamante, who didn't seek re-election after serving two terms, honored members of city advisory panels whom they had appointed. Alvarez honored Harrah, owner and CEO of Caribou Industries, for his investment in Santa Ana and contributions to its business development.
"I thank the Lord for the experience here in Santa Ana," Harrah told the City Council audience. "There's no place that I'd rather be or build in the entire county."

[Slam!Wrestling: The Evolution of Don West]
Kyle Willo wrote: Don West began hosting "The Sports Collectibles" show on the "Shop at Home" shopping network in 1993. His borderline obnoxious style was a hit with television watchers, many of whom would tune in just to see his wild antics, with no intent on purchasing collectibles. In addition to "The Sports Collectibles" show, "Shop at Home" also had him pitch Beanie Babies, Pokémon collectibles, and other items. Although he was often criticized for overly exaggerating the quality and value of the items he was selling, his memorable style proved to be extremely lucrative for "Shop at Home", often beating competitors QVC and HSN in both sales and ratings. By 2001, he was fired from "Shop at Home", citing a change in marketing direction.

Sheriff Nick Finch is escorted out of the Liberty County Jail by two FDLE agents Tuesday.
Display comments as
(Linear | Threaded)
how come when an everyday person does something like this or gets caught with dope it's big news and everyone is wanting the max for there crime.. but when it's the law they sweep it under the rug ??? should they not be held to a higher standard then others??
This is just a regurgitation of the press notice from the prosecutor. The real story is why this sheriff was arrested before being questioned about the allegations? Has the paper talked to Sheriff Finch? This is big news, being carried nationally. Governor Walker seems to be targeting a sheriff who has publicly stated his support for the 2nd amendment rights of the people he has been elected to protect. Apparently, the Governor doesn't like the choice of Liberty county residents to have a Sheriff represent their interests, and not the Governors.
Let the process work! If Finch is guilty of something then the evidence will show it. If not, he will be reinstated. The issue is not about the 2nd Amendment as that was just an excuse used to let the guy out of jail, it's not about whether a sheriff can let someone out of jail, which by the way they have the authority to do, it's about whether or not there was misconduct by attempting to hide something. THAT IS THE ISSUE. And to think the Governor knows Finch and act as though he made it personal is just silly. He doesn't know Finch other than maybe meeting him at some Sheriffs Association function with a bunch of other sheriffs. There has been several sheriff's removed by Florida Governors in the past. They are simply following law regarding an allegation which has been made against a public official. A judge signed the warrant which FDLE used to arrest Finch so there had to be probable cause. But probable cause doesn't mean a conviction. So let the facts come out in court and then everyone will know what happened instead of wondering or speculating. It amazes me what people believe.

I've been pretty down on the Warriors lately. I just have this "Same 'Ol Warriors" feeling in my gut. But some of you guys keep bombarding my pessimism with your inexplicable naïveté.
It's wearing off.
You're right. As it stands now, the Warriors – currently up by 10 in the first quarter – are sitting in the eighth spot in the West. As it stands now, the Warriors – despite the wealth of injuries – are just a game under .500 with several winninable games coming up on the calendar (home vs. Philly and Boston, at Sacramento, the Hornets and Memphis). With Houston headed for the tank, the Clippers struggling to gain their footing and Sacramento heading for the lottery, you can't help but wonder 'Why the Warriors?'
Sure, Troy Murphy is still out and Monta Ellis is hurting. Sure, Jason Richardson and Ike Diogu have a ways to go before they're in midseason form. Sure, Andris Biedrins, in his third season, has finally hit the rookie wall.
But it's not all bad. Right?
