I ask Blue what response his idea got from the NBC folks. He turns his head away, as if having a spasm, and says only, "They liked it." I ask him if there's any talk of a timetable for getting the show into production. The optimism fades from his eyes. "No, not really. There's a lot of business shit I don't understand." With that, he gets up from the couch and says he's got some things he needs to do: stop over at Comedy Works, go to the bank, that sort of thing. I ask him if he needs a ride. Without thinking, I say, "It's a long walk." And Blue, without thinking, says, "No, I'm going to ride my bike."
A couple of days after I meet with Blue at his home, the Hollywood trade paper Variety reports some news about I'm With Stupid. Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the brothers who have produced and directed movies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, and The Ringer (about a "normal" kid who fakes being mentally handicapped to take part in the Special Olympics) are taking over the development of the TV show. The plot, as described in Variety, centers "on an unlucky guy who becomes friends with a man who uses a wheelchair—and moves into his home for the disabled." Curiously, the article makes no mention of Josh Blue.
Wondering if the Variety report inadvertently omitted Blue's name, I call the Farrelly brothers' production offices in L.A. Bradley Thomas, an executive producer for the developing show, takes my call, and when I ask him if Josh Blue has been cast, Bradley responds, "Who's Josh Blue?" I tell him Blue is the guy who just won Last Comic Standing. "Oh, that's right. I've heard about him. Is he funny?" Thomas says he knows of no immediate plans to take a meeting with Blue.
When I call Peter Engel, an executive producer of Last Comic Standing, to see what he knows about Blue's NBC development-deal, he tells me that he doesn't think I'm With Stupid would be right for Blue. In fact, Engel, a creator of the long-running smash teen comedy Saved by the Bell, says, "I [don't] feel the guy who has the disability should be the butt of the joke. I would love to have Josh for a development deal of my own, but for a year he belongs to the network. See, I would use Josh's wisdom."
Yet it's hard to find the wisdom in Engel's idea. The show Engel has in mind would be a cross between the movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills, in which Nick Nolte, playing a homeless guy, moves in with and changes the life of a rich Beverly Hills family, and Alf, the '80s sitcom, in which a Muppetlike alien moves in with and changes the life of an average American family. "Josh's character," Engel says, "would just be Josh: someone who is so outrageously funny and lovable. Like an Alf character. It would be about the impact he has on the family.… Josh reminds me a lot of Screech [the chronic butt-of-the-joke dork on Saved by The Bell]. "Whenever there would be a dead spot on Saved by The Bell, I would write in the margins of the script, 'We need more Screech.'"
On one hand, Blue has the slim chance of being cast as the Stupid lovable sap with CP in an American rip-off of a British idea. Or he could play a normal American family's lovable Muppet—the human equivalent of a cymbal-banging monkey. Standing on the stage the night he won Last Comic Standing, Blue never would have dreamed of such crippling possibilities.
Not that other people's ignorance and stunted imaginations would have discouraged him. When he auditioned for that fourth season of Last Comic Standing, it wasn't the first time he'd taken a shot at the show; he'd auditioned for an earlier season, to no avail. "I was like, obviously they're not listening to what I'm saying; they're looking at me and not at my personality. Maybe I wasn't what they were looking for, or they weren't ready. This time I don't think they had a choice; they'd been hearing a lot about me from other people." That's the thing about Blue: He knows the world is loaded with slow people who need time to get his joke; he knows that while he kills on stage, it takes time to really change the way people think. He's funny, and a little twisted, but he ain't stupid.

I don't know if I'd say genuine. Although I did have the FX700 and tips that were similar. Still preferred these thought to even the ones that came with the FX700. If you are using large I suggest sticking with large as well.
I don't know if I'd say genuine. Although I did have the FX700 and tips that were similar. Still preferred these thought to even the ones that came with the FX700. If you are using large I suggest sticking with large as well.
ok ill buy them...will let you know
got like 50 tips at home :o
Ps: how do FX700 sounds? :P
As you've already discovered the Sonys don't really fit as the nozzle size is too big. The Complys (foamies) are a complete waste of time and money. While they give you a great seal, that's all they do. They compress when they are inserted and what's left of the nozzle is what the sound has to come through. The result is a muffled treble and indistinct bass - the Senn stock tips give a better sound IMO. They also don't last long and are expensive. The JVC hybrids are very good but I'm using something that surpasses these thanks to a recommendation from Burtomr, a regular poster and IE80 fan. These are the Auvio hybrids which you can get from any Radio Shack for less than $5 for two pairs.Until I hear something better then these are the tips for me. Someone mentioned the Ortofons but I haven't heard them. If you've got time then cancel your Comply order and save some money. Listen to the JVCs when they arrive (you'll be pleasantly surprised) and if you like those then try the Auvios.
The FX700s are very detailed and also have an expansive sound stage. Some of the best timbre I've heard in an IEM. But its treble and bass are noticeably boosted in comparison to its mid range. So I'm not sure if you'll like this or not. I found as I raised the volume the bass and treble become overbearing and not to my liking. At low volume listening it was superb though. In the end I sold them because I could not live with its weaknesses.
Just don't use them and expect to sell the complys lol ;). I hope the JVCs work for you. I suspect they should if the large Sony Hybrids fit you as they too fit my ears. But I was not able to get a good seal with the Auvio tips on my right ear (always my trouble ear :( ). The tips are slightly too narrow (I need wider tips). The height of the tip isn't so much of a factor for my ears as the actual width.
Theres always custom tips
you want to ruine me
In my opinion fullsize is better than IEM when listening at home but the portability of iem makes up for it. The biggest difference between iem and fullsize is the bass,soundstage and imaging if you are going to the iem route then i think this is the change that you will experience. And im afraid tube amp will have too much power for iem especially sensitive one like ie80.
This will put less strain on the nozzles - they have been known to break.
I own the HD580s which, apart from cosmetics, are virtually identical to the HD600s. After getting the ie80s I hardly use them any more

This was the latter. Just a brutal, brutal hit. I just watched it a few more times and it gets worse the more you see it. Ward obliterated Shipley's face/head. Shipley will suffer short-term and long-term effects from this hit. It's the fact that the hit was directly to Shipley's head that irritates me the most and why I think it was so bad.

October Update – Win a Bobblehead!
One would think that coming from the background of a blogger, what to write would be an easy task. Especially since I pushed for the creation of this section of our website. I have hit a bit of a block on what to put on here, that people would want to read about.
We have some custom content on the way but until then:
For a chance to win a bobble-head of Nestor Miranda leave a comment below about things you would like to see on the blog.
- We have begun the process of working on a cigar celebrating Nestor 70th Birthday on February 14th. The cigar is in the early stages of production with a blending trip scheduled in the coming weeks.
- Jessica Levine who worked for Cigar Masters in Providence is getting comfortable in her gig as a sale representative for New England. If you haven't met her, look out for her events. This lady is a vision of class and full of cigar knowledge.
- All of our IPCPR releases with the exception of the Cien Anos are shipping and should be at your favorite shop soon!
- The Cien Anos is set to ship to stores later this month.

Fantasy Wars reviewReviewed February 27, 2008Gary Hartley says: "What's refreshing is that the word 'strategy' isn't just in the genre's name out of some long-forgotten tradition: it must become the lynchpin of your game should you ever dream of progression." |
Fantasy Wars reviewReviewed July 21, 2010wolfqueen001 says: "When it comes to difficulty in videogames, my feelings often appear contradictory. I frequently grow impatient or bored with oppressively difficult action titles like Contra, but when I play games that actually require me to think, I revel in the challenge. I suppose its a matter of interest and ability. I enjoy strategy because I know Im smart and so seek to prove that against anyone daring enough to try me. Thats why Im so addicted to Fantasy Wars. It leaves very little room ..." |

Malaria and HIV infection are two of the most important health challenges of our time. Children under 5 years of age and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to the complicating effects of malaria and HIV co- infection. Treatment options within Africa have improved, with increasing availability of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for malaria and expanded access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV. ACTs are critical for treatment of malaria due to widespread resistance to older drugs. ACTs exhibit complex pharmacology, undergo activation and/or metabolism via cytochrome p450 pathways and are susceptible to physiological differences and drug-drug interactions with ARTs. However, treatment guidelines have largely stemmed from adult studies, and have ignored the impact of age or pregnancy on drug disposition. Mounting evidence, including studies from our group, indicates that ACTs may be underdosed in children or pregnant women, and are associated with significant drug interactions and heightened toxicities, in particular neutropenia, in the setting of HIV infection and concomitant ART. Proper dosing is critical to improve treatment efficacy and minimize risk of drug resistance and toxicity. NIH-funded trials comparing ART-based treatment strategies for reducing malaria morbidity in HIV-infected children and pregnant women (PROMOTE) are currently underway in Tororo, Uganda, a region with high rates of malaria transmission and HIV infection. This proposal will complement PROMOTE and investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of artemether-lumefantrine (AL), the most widely adopted ACT, in the context of ART, to optimize treatment for malaria and HIV.
The specific aims are 1) To evaluate the impact of ART and age on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) in HIV-infected children;2) To evaluate the impact of ART and pregnancy on the PK and PD of artemether-lumefantrine in HIV-infected pregnant women;3) To determine if ART and AL exposure following standard dosing is predictive of neutropenia in children and pregnant women with HIV and malaria co-infection. HIV-infected children and pregnant women, treated with either protease inhibitor (PI) or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based ART will be co- enrolled from PROMOTE, and undergo intensive PK evaluations for AL during treatment for malaria. PI-based regimens include lopinavir/ritonavir, and NNRTI-based regimens include either nevirapine or efavirenz. Results will be compared to intensive PK evaluations in HIV-uninfected children also residing in Tororo. To assess associations between drug exposure and clinical outcomes, longitudinal population PK/PD studies will determine if changes in AL exposure impact malaria treatment efficacy, and if AL and ART exposure correlates with high rates of neutropenia observed in HIV and malaria co-infected individuals. The proposed pharmacology studies will inform future dosing guidelines for the most widely adopted ACT and ART regimens in Africa.
Children and pregnant women represent particularly vulnerable populations to the overlapping epidemics of malaria and HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. We aim to characterize the pharmacokinetics of first-line antimalarial therapies in these groups, and correlate these parameters with treatment outcomes and adverse drug events. Findings should lead to specific artemether-lumefantrine dosing guidelines based on age, pregnancy, and use with concomitant antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected populations.

This is your chance to give your potential employer some insight into who you are as a person. After all, if they hire you they're going to be spending at least 40 hours a week with you – so they want to know what sort of person they'll be taking on board.
In general, it's fine to be honest about your hobbies and interests – whether that be kick-boxing, attending salsa classes, footy matches or the theatre, building model trains or playing Guitar Hero. If you can demonstrate that you are a well-rounded person with passions and interests, that can only be a good thing. But there's no point trying to pretend to be something you're not – just be yourself and show them what an interesting, multi-faceted person you are.
However, it is most definitely in your interests not to mention anything that might ring alarm bells in the interviewer's mind – such as your penchant for getting trashed several nights a week with your mates, or spending hours playing the pokies every night at the pub. Whatever you do, you don't want your interviewer thinking that you are an out-of-control or addictive personality – because the chances are that they'll never call you back.

Keisuke Honda has described his move from CSKA Moscow to Milan as "a dream come true".
Honda arrived in Italy on Saturday after signing with the Serie A outfit following the expiration his contract with Russian side CSKA Moscow.
The Japan international is poised to make his debut for Milan - who sit a disappointing 13th in the Italian top flight - against Sassuolo on January 12.
And the 27-year-old is hopeful he can make a difference to Massimiliano Allegri's ailing side.
"I'm happy to be here and I'm very excited," Honda told Milan's official website.
"I'm ready to play. I'm looking forward to meeting my new team-mates. I think I can give a lot, something more to the team.
"I've been waiting here for this for a long time. It's a dream come true, AC Milan has always been a legendary club for me, I followed them as a child.
"Football is my life and I hope to play well. I can play in any position and I want to score as well as create goals. I want to play in attack but it doesn't matter where."
Milan return to Serie A action on Monday when Atalanta visit San Siro, but Honda is ineligible for that match.

Paul Bunyan
Offer available 10 11 13 15 17 December
Ticket Prices: pounds 48.50, pounds 39, pounds 36, pounds 32, pounds 18.50
Paul Bunyan is an American folk hero of gigantic height who became the greatest lumberjack in history, or so legend says. His work sites, and his fights, created geographical wonders like the Grand Canyon and the Rockies.
Bunyan's adventures are an allegory of the development of virgin North America in the pioneer days.
The Barber of Seville
Offer available on 7 10 12 14 February
Ticket prices: pounds 75, pounds 66, pounds 62, pounds 57, pounds 33.
The Barber of Seville is the first modern comic opera. Rossini was the star composer of an era when opera moved out of aristocratic circles into boulevard theatres . He believed his audiences would laugh at what they could recognise.
In this opera, Rossini has all the classic classic characters from commedia dell'arte; who have been around from Shakespeare to television sitcom. Rossini's music defines all of them without caricature and makes them available to any age.
The Merry Widow
Offer available 31 December 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 January
Ticket prices: pounds 65, pounds 58, pounds 56, pounds 51, pounds 30.
Like The Barber of Seville, The Merry Widow is a first. Most operettas are about sex and money, but few as provocatively as Lehar's. The story takes place in embassy circles in turn of the century Paris. It discusses the affairs of a romantic little princedom fit to rival Rudolf Rassendyl's Ruritania in The Prisoner of Zenda (book and operetta are near contemporaries). Its music is awash with gorgeous tunes - and wonderful dances - evoking middle-European folklore, written with the skill of a Richard Strauss or Puccini (more contemporaries). The very word `operetta' means escapism - usually.
But what's best about the Widow is its realism. Its heroine has been married before for all the worst reasons - on the rebound from an unhappy affair, and for money. Its hero met the heroine before and rejected her for all the worst reasons - family pressure, and money - and then went off on a seriously naughty bender in Paris. He loves her, but can't bring himself to say it. Meanwhile, everyone else in sight is bending over backwards to be unfaithful. It's realistic, it's funny and it's sad. This perfect theatrical combination gave Lehar a monster hit in Vienna, Paris, London and New York.
Terms and Conditions
To qualify for the offer applicants must collect three differently numbered tokens. Tokens are published every day between November 22 and November 28. Only the tokens printed in The Independent and Independent on Sunday are valid. Photocopies or any other reproductions will not be accepted.

How was your experience?
Will call ticket pick was super smooth. Grabbed a hot chocolate at Starbucks before the show. Seats were beautiful, near the front with a good view. I love the Symphny Center. The National Festival Chorus was good but lacked some energy; the best part of the show by far was the Yorkville High School Orchestra! THEY were phenomenal. So lively, entertaining, huge swelling sounds, really uplifting.

South Africa finished at 98 for three at the end of Day Two of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo. The Proteas still trail Sri Lanka by 323 runs. It would be interesting to see how the South African batsmen will bat on Day Three on a track that is offering slow turn.
The visitors had a forgettable start, as the openers, Alviro Petersen and Dean Elgar were removed early on by the Sri Lankan spinners with just 13 runs on the board. The move to introduce spinners in the second over itself was seen as a a good one, as the flat SSC pitch was beginning to turn. Four of the five bowlers used in the day were spinners, with medium-pacer, Suranga Lakmal being the exception.
It was the duo of Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla who did much of the recovery work for the South African team for the rest of the day. The pair added 58 runs from 179 balls for the third wicket, frustrating the Sri Lankan bowlers in the process. It was Suranga Lakmal's reintroduction to the attack which led to the dismissal of du Plessis, who edged the ball to the keeper, and he collected it inches from the ground with a fabulous one-handed dive. The next man to come in was AB de Villiers, who stayed at the crease till the end of day's play. Amla and De Villiers now have the task of thwarting the Lankan spinners on Day Three in order to swing things in their favour.
Earlier, Sri Lanka resumed from their overnight score of 305 for five, with Mahela Jayawardene and debutante Niroshan Dickwella looking set at the crease. The two soon began to toy with the South African attack, with Dickwella reaching his half-century from 69 balls. The two hit half a dozen fours, as they added 80 runs on the board, before Jayawardene departed, whose dive wasn't enough to save from the well-directed throw from Petersen and he was run out.
The hosts went into lunch with a score of 395 for the loss of six wickets and were looking set to post a total of around 500. South Africa, however, were clinical in the second session, with the dismissals flowing regularly and the Sri Lankan batsmen never getting a chance to settle. For the visitors, Vernon Philander and Dale Steyn emerged the pick of the bowlers by picking two wickets each, conceding 52 and 69 runs, respectively.
Brief scores:
Sri Lanka 421 (Mahela Jayawardene 165, Niroshan Dickwella 63; Vernon Philander 2 for 52) lead South Africa 98 for 3 (Faf du Plessis 36, Hashim Amla 46*; Suranga Lakmal 1 for 13) by 323 runs.

Will the caddie carrying a microphone make the telecast more interesting for television audiences? That's what the PGA Tour is trying to find out. Obviously, this will work only when the caddie is close enough to the player. This will make it possible for the microphone to pick up both sides of their conversation.
And then there is the issue of the willingness of the caddies. The topic was recently brought up at the PGA Tour's annual discussion with the caddies. Some of them were concerned about being constrained in what they utter, not during the shot, but also the three hours of 'dead time' during a playing round.
"I know what they are trying to do; that's good," said the caddie for Steve Stricker, Jimmie Johnson. "I am not worried about what actually comes out of the caddie. I am more worried about what goes into the trailer."
His argument is one that most other caddies share. Having a microphone will then pick up everything they talk during a four-hour round. None of it will make the telecast. However, they are worried guarantee that something 'inappropriate' that they might mention about someone in the gallery, or another player, could well be leaked.

Coastal region and small island papers 15
4 Final remarks
There have been many attempts to generate improved marine resource management in Pacific Island villages and few seem to have achieved such widespread success as the turtle and trochus initiatives in Vanuatu. Although it must be noted that Samoa, using quite different extension methods, has seen a major upsurge in village-based marine resources management in the past few years (Fa'asili and Kelokolo, 1999).
Some of the factors that have influenced the growth in marine resource management in Vanuatu were already identified in the l993 survey (Johannes, l998a). Customary marine tenure provides the foundation upon which village-based marine resource management is built. Strong leadership and village cohesion are important in determining how well marine resource management functions. Villagers can benefit greatly from well directed, culturally appropriate assistance to help focus and refine village-based marine resource management initiatives to fit contemporary circumstances. These conclusions are also relevant to other Pacific Islands where customary marine tenure is found (World Bank, l999). There are several specific factors in Vanuatu that have promoted the recent upsurge and success of village-based marine resource management that demonstrates clearly how outside assistance, properly targeted, can generate major benefits. Certain elements of this assistance are unusual and perhaps unique.
The demonstration of the value of trochus closures by the Vanuatu Department of Fisheries was clearly the original catalytic influence on the growth of community-based marine resource management. This motivated community experiments with other forms of management (such as gear restrictions, quotas, etc.) and on other important subsistence and commercial resources. The Department's extension work continues to the degree that its limited budget allows. Trochus management education has been carried out extensively and juvenile trochus have been planted in over 25 villages around the country. While it has not been proven that trochus planting improves population numbers any more than simple closures, the instigator of the programme, Mr Amos observes that trochus transplants enhances communities' support for and compliance with the closures.
This is due to the increased awareness associated with training of villagers, along with their participation in re-stocking the reef with juvenile trochus and follow-up monitoring. Part of the increased commitment to trochus conservation may be because the villagers were given something tangible (the juvenile trochus) and in return they feel more committed to regulating the resulting fishery. A strategy for further enhancing the feeling of community involvement is that the Department of Fisheries actually borrows adult trochus, collected by members of the community, for breeding the stock they subsequently plant there.
Furthermore, focusing on a single commercially valuable marine resource such as trochus was another important element in the success of the village-based marine resource management measures. Once villagers saw the benefits of trochus management, it encouraged them to think about how they could better manage their other marine resources. Turtles were another species on which attention was focused, and are of particular interest to coastal villagers since they are an important food and in some areas also have customary significance.
It would probably have been hard to motivate villagers from the start to accept the more complex goal of improving marine resource management in general. As previously described, Wan Smolbag and the Department of Fisheries are now working towards that goal, but only after having gained credibility through the turtle and trochus initiatives. Perhaps noteworthy is the fact that the play, performed by Wan Smolbag in the villages a year before the turtle play, was entitled 'On the Reef' and addressed the importance of protecting the total reef environment. It did not seem to have nearly the same impact on village marine resource management as the turtle play, judging by the comments of interviewees.
Assistance from the Environment Unit and the Foundation for the Peoples of the South Pacific has also significantly contributed to village-based management of resources in Vanuatu, through promoting environmental awareness and their support for the establishment of conservation areas on some islands. The Vanuatu Cultural Centre, particularly through their fieldworker network throughout the islands, has also assisted numerous communities to strengthen and revive traditional management systems in response to contemporary resource management needs by promoting awareness of the value and efficacy of these systems so strongly rooted in local customs.
The strengthening and ongoing adaptation of customary management systems is in response to the contemporary need for additional management efforts with a growing population and commercialization of resources, but also part of a broader revival of traditional practices since independence from colonial rule in 1980. With the introduction of various new fisheries like the live reef fish and aquarium trades, there is the ongoing need to raise awareness of the pro's and con's of these fisheries to villagers and their leaders and continue to develop their capacity in adapting their customary systems to manage them.
The effectiveness of enforcement of marine resource management measures in Vanuatu varies with factors such as the strength of respect for village leadership, the respect for customary practices and beliefs including tabus, fishing ground geography and ease of surveillance, and the presence or absence of tenure or leadership disputes. The need of rural villagers to generate cash income for basic needs, including education and medical attention, is an additional factor that may lead people to disobey village resource regulations. A re-occurring theme from this study was that the placement of village-based restrictions must also take into account the subsistence and cash generating needs of rural communities. Closures are more closely respected when alternatives are made available to community members to satisfy these needs. The fact that these village-based resource management regulations are not always effectively enforced does not distinguish them from marine resource management in most other countries.

Education – not just for villagers
Another lesson emerging from this study relates to education. When national conservation regulations and their underlying rationale were clearly explained to villagers and were perceived by them to coincide with village interests, they were often incorporated into village management measures. This greatly enhanced their observance according to many informants. Ignorance of these laws, and of the reasons for them, had previously been widespread in rural Vanuatu – as it was in the villages in five other Pacific Island countries recently surveyed by the World Bank (l999).
Effective enforcement of national conservation regulations by central government agencies in developing countries such as Vanuatu is quite impossible. In most cases these regulations must be enforced by village authorities or not at all. Village authorities will not enforce them if they are not informed of their existence, their purpose and their ultimate value to the community. It is much more costeffective for villagers to manage their own coastal marine resources than central governments.
Johannes (l994) argued that fisheries extension work should focus on management rather than development in Oceania. The results of this present survey provide further emphasis for this argument along with the work of Johannes (l998a), Fa'asili and Kelokolo (l999) and World Bank (l999). Yet the World Bank (1999) study of fishing communities in five Pacific Island countries in l998 revealed that only 40% of the 31 communities they surveyed had been visited by a government official to discuss coastal management issues during the previous decade, and that an average of only 25% of Department of Fisheries' budgets were for extension work (including both management and development components).
Villagers are not the only ones needing more education concerning rural marine resource management. National governments need to understand that nearshore subsistence fisheries in almost every Pacific Island country are worth more than nearshore commercial fisheries (Dalzell et al., 1996). (The value of the subsistence catch was calculated by these authors as the price it would fetch if it were sold.) In the early l990s, subsistence fisheries in Vanuatu provided five times the catch of nearshore commercial fisheries and were worth almost l.5 times the value. If the foreign exchange cost of imports to support higher technology commercial fisheries were factored in, the benefit/cost ratio of subsistence versus commercial fishing would have increased further (Johannes, l998a). Commercial fisheries have often attracted more attention when island politicians and aid donors decide on funding priorities.
Thus on economic and social grounds, extension work in rural fishing communities, where subsistence fisheries often dominates the catch, deserves a larger proportion of fisheries funding than it usually gets.

To be fair.. Monster does make good IEMs... namely the Turbines... and probably only the Turbines...
anything that has a celebity behind is often bad...Q701 is an exception... but that was just AKG's attempt to revive their decade old model..
For sure, I hear nothing but excellent things about Turbines. It's other celebrity lines they produce.
true ,the isolation should and is an advantages when you are in a noisy environment,although i noticed it not leak very much,and to be an open headphone with soundstage and bass reproduction noble of hi-fi level,better if with a good amp.anyway,one of these days i will hear them in those everyday old engine autobuses i take,to see how they leak and how do they play ACDC!
Listening to: therion-theli
Buy cheap fakes to look good, then use whatever's left on something that's actually half-decent.
The Miles Davis are good too :), both the tributes and trumpets.
Metalcore, screamo and Hard rock won't sound great with any of those... But if not the Studio looks the best.
I say just get flashy $5 store earbuds and use the rest for whatever shiny stuff teenagers like to wear about these days to attract members of the opposite sex.
I had the Soul SL99s and i found them to be quite good, at the very least better than the beats.
I haven't listened to the chambers but souls vs beats go with soul I found their sound (sl150) better than any beats include solo studio pro.
But if you really go with fashion only I don't think there is any reason not to go with v-moda m80 or lp2 if you are bass head but I prefer m80
custom shield, celebrity, more over the design suit your bill well
take a look and decide for yourself
Ps: You can also show off by the case and how durability they are by try to twist the headband
Then what about the b&w p5? they sound really good, they are made for portable use, they are made from new zealand lamb skin leather,aluminium and stainless steel, they look great, and they come in black and white colors.
but the beats are terrible, and the souls are barable but the vmoda m80s sound better than both and they look good. what about looking at other "fashion" headphones like the vmoda m80s or v80s, the sennheiser adidas hd25, the b&w p5 (my personal favorite) and there are probably a few I am forgetting
This guy likes the Chambers the best out of all the hip-hop cans. I like the more relaxed look of these than both the Beats, Souls and (super ugly, yet-to-be-mentioned) Sync. Add the bling factor of white LED lights on the earcups that move along to the beat of the music and I think we have our winner.http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/blog/2012/03/21/review-wesc-chambers-rza-headphones Seriously, though, get some V-Modas and spring for some custom plates. Here are what mine look like.
Ah... forgot about those... because they are always mentioned with the Turbines, I sometimes think they are part of the Turbine series
I don't get why people buy mainstream fashion headphones for looks anyway, I have 2 friends that have beats and no one gives a crap about them, everytime I walk around with my grados I get asked about them everywhere I go. And doesn't the whole point of buying them for looks hit the pavement when a million other people have the same exact headphones you have? People are going too notice you if you are have something that looks different and unique, not something everyone and there unborn children have.

Was it that our wants were greater than our means? Was it thinking we could pay down our debt, only to realize after our bills, we had nothing left over? Determining how fast we can and should eliminate debt starts with a few simple steps.
1. Write it Down
Get a visual handle on where you are with your mortgage, home equity, auto, medical, student loan and credit card debt. List on each line the lender, balance, current interest rate, rate change date, final interest rate, minimum payment, monthly payment and due date. You can't fix it until you face it.
2. Understand Your Cash Flow
We can't save, invest or pay down debt until we clearly understand what funds are coming in and what funds are left over after we pay our taxes and living expenses. When you enter what comes in and what goes out, subtracting them allows you to see whether you have a monthly surplus or deficit. A surplus indicates you are living within your means. A surplus allows you to save, invest or pay down your debt. A deficit indicates you are living above your means and most likely using your credit cards. If that is the case, review your monthly living expenses to determine what can be reduced or eliminated.
It is important to be realistic. If you have not figured in all your expenses, such as the $2.29 daily iced coffee, you'll be tapping your credit card once again by month's end.
3. Reduce Your Debt
Once you've examined your cash flow and determined what is left over after your taxes and living expenses, you will know how much is available each month to pay towards eliminating your debt. Additionally, now that you have written it all down and recorded the minimum payments, you'll know what you must pay. If the minimum payments total more than the surplus available, you'll have to go back and start eliminating some of your discretionary expenses. If the total is
less than your surplus, you can pay more than the minimum. Just be careful not to get over-zealous.
Paying beyond the minimum payment could leave you short of cash at the end of the month, forcing you to pull the credit card right back out of your wallet. Another strategy to consider when reducing or eliminating debt is to pay the smallest balances off first and pay the minimum on the rest of your debt. Although you may save some money tackling the highest rate debt first, the mental relief that comes with paying off each debt burden far outweighs saving a few dollars!
4. Avoid Future Debt
Part of the reason we get into debt is because we don't save! Start an automatic transfer each month into a savings account. In order to live within your means and not have credit card debt, it is critical to have a petty savings account. A petty savings account will hold money you are setting aside for pleasurable things like vacations or home improvements.
