What IEM's you will recommend to me?
Dude, you can't ask for recommendation by simply saying that you have some mp3 players. You HAVE to tell people about what kind of sound you like. You want more bass, vocals, shrilling treble, wide/narrow soundstage, you HAVE to mention all of that if you want people to help you.
You listed R-50 before, and it should fit what you need.
could you give a comparision of Brainwavz M4 vs R1 ?
and which is better?
thanks in advance
Overall, M4 is better. However, M4 has V-shaped sound while R1 is bass dominated. The problem with M4 is a recessed mid and a slightly brighter treble; with R1, it is bass flooding over the mid. Getting the right eartips on R1 will help taming the bass - still, M4 is a more accurate sounding of the two and present music with better control and resolution.
Hi so this is my first post in this forum and what a great thread this is.
I am on a ~$100 budget. Currently I'm torn between HiFiMan RE400 or TDK IE800 - which both I can get at around ~$100 +shipping here in Australia.
(Kinda surprised actually to see TDK IE 800 at $100 cause I thought it would be at $150 - $200).
Which one between those two would you recommend? I listen to different kinds of songs really. Pop, jazz, a bit of hip hop and rock. And I'm kinda into EDM too lately.
I prefer 'clear' sounding earphones with a bit of bass in it. Not a bass head though
Neither is particularly great (nor bad) with EDM, but I'll recommend IE800 first as it has better upper extension and overall cleaner sounding, which is likely more suitable for EDM.
Okay. So between IE800 at $115 (way below market price, right?) or RE400 at $85 (second hand, a guy is selling after using it for a month).
Which one will you go for?
And regarding comfort and durability (especially the cables as my old Klipsch S4i and Shure 215 cables are broken in the end).
But both are pretty similar I assume?
I see cable problem in neither, but I'll say IE800's cable is probably a little better. I'll jump for IE800 on that price. I think I paid $200 for it and still have no regret. The only issue with IE800 is the sub-par stock eartips. I'll recommend you use Sony Hybrid instead.
Oh wow IE 800 has even better cabling? I thought RE400's build quality and cabling was good already.
That's because IE800 has flat cable that tends to take stress a bit better.
Why an analytical sound is the riskiest choice to start?
Because people with little experience on IEM often want the 'most accurate, cleanest, most detailed sound', which lead to an analytical sounding IEM. But the truth is, many of them really have no idea what their real preference are. It is the assumption that 'an accurate, detailed sound must be the best choice' misleads them to pick an analytical sounding IEM. The common sense dictates that the opposite of an 'accurate' sound must an inaccurate sound, but common sense doesn't work on actual human preference - let alone those who have no idea what they prefer in the first place.

In the latest sign of Hollywood's accelerated efforts to expand its presence in the fast-growing Chinese market, Warner Bros. Entertainment has announced plans to offer its movies via cable television there, the first such venture by a major studio.
Warner Bros. expects as many as 3 million Chinese households to have access to its recently released films and older titles as early as this summer through pay-per-view and on-demand services. Ultimately, the studio, a division of Time Warner Inc., is hoping to reach 200 million homes in a country where access to Hollywood entertainment has been undermined by government control and censorship.
The studio's joint venture in China, CAV Warner Home Entertainment, struck the deal to distribute its movies with technology provider You On Demand Media. You On Demand has an exclusive, 20-year joint venture partnership with China Home Cinema, the pay-television arm of that country's CCTV-6 network. You On Demand now has to sign up cable operators to carry the new service.
China is in the midst of replacing largely antiquated and fragmented cable systems with more sophisticated digital technology.
In addition to films from the Warner Bros. library, which include the "Batman" and "Harry Potter" series, the service would include recently released movies that would appear on Chinese pay-per-view services about the same time they are released on DVD.
The deal is part of an escalating offensive by the movie industry into China, with its population of more than 1.3 billion. Last week Legendary Pictures, a Burbank company that helped finance and produce such movies as "The Hangover" and "The Dark Knight," announced a joint venture with a Chinese entertainment conglomerate to make big-budget English-language movies in China for export around the world.
Imax Corp., the Canadian big-screen theater chain, also recently signed a joint venture with China's largest cinema operator, Wanda Cinema Line Corp., to open 75 new Imax theaters in 25 locations by 2014.
The movie industry also is pressuring China through the World Trade Organization to further open its market. The Chinese government limits the number of foreign films released in the country to about 20 per year. The Motion Picture Assn. of America, the industry's lobbying arm, is working with U.S. trade officials to try to broker a deal to increase that total to as much as 40.
MPAA Chairman Christopher J. Dodd urged China to open its doors during at an appearance at the Shanghai International Film Festival this week. Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp., parent company of 20th Century Fox, and Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairman Jim Gianopulos made similar appeals at the festival.
Despite all the restrictions, half of the 10 highest-grossing movies of all time in China came out of Hollywood, including James Cameron's blockbuster "Avatar." China's box-office receipts grew 61% to $1.5 billion in 2010, according to Screen Digest.
The international market is increasingly important to the movie industry, as theater attendance in North America has flattened. Overseas ticket buyers account for nearly 70% of total box-office receipts.
Warner Bros. has been one of the most aggressive Hollywood studios in China, pioneering multiplex cinema development, selling DVDs at prices competitive with pirated versions' and partnering with streaming video sites to show recently released movies. The studio closed its Chinese cinema operations in 2006 when the central government banned majority ownership of movie houses by foreign operators.
Its efforts, like those of other studios, have been undermined by widespread piracy. Bootleg copies of movies that are showing in theaters can be purchased for as little as $1.50 on DVD from Chinese street vendors and in stores, or obtained on the Internet.
The You On Demand service, however, would provide a way to compete with piracy with movie rentals priced from $2 to $5, executives said. Unlike theatrical releases, there are no quotas on titles released through television. The films would be subject to Chinese government censorship, however.
"The opportunity of China is just too irresistible to most companies and particularly Warner Bros.," said Jim Wuthrich, president of international home video for Warner Bros.' home entertainment unit. "We've been trying to crack this nut for a while."
The service will release such movies as the 2010 hit film "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" and the recent Russell Brand comedy "Arthur." Most of the 600 movies that Warner Bros. has sold for DVD in China would be offered through the service, Wuthrich said.
New York-based You On Demand is run by Shane McMahon, son of Vince McMahon, who heads the sports juggernaut WWE, a powerhouse on American pay-per-view channels. Shane McMahon left the family business in 2010 to launch the company. He expects that the video-on-demand service will sign up additional studios. "We're talking to everyone," he said.
Most televisions in China still receive analog broadcasts, but there are about 4,000 cable operators with about 187 million households. Of that, only 50 million currently belong to a two-way digital network that enables them to order programs.
The success of the Warner Bros. deal hinges largely on how quickly China can upgrade the network to two-way digital, said Tony Brown, a senior analyst for Informa Telecoms & Media.
"This market represents a huge opportunity, but foreigners have been largely shut out from investing in it," Brown said.
Authorities allow foreign content providers only to sell blocks of programming to Chinese broadcasters. Walt Disney Co., which has long wanted a dedicated channel in China, has no choice but to settle for providing selected programming on Chinese TV.
Brown said another challenge to the Warner Bros. venture is the inclination of Chinese, especially younger ones, to entertain themselves on the Internet rather than TV because it's cheaper and often offers a more compelling array of content.
"China is crazy for online video," Brown said. "Online video is spoiling the well for cable."

Yes, you read that right. I started this blog on 29 May 2010, which makes me three today. So I thought I would look back at my very first post and see if I have achieved anything along the way...
My post was a short one:
"This blog is intended to be an extension to my ancestor-spotting records at home of names, dates and places. It is going to be the place where I put my family history. Anecdotes, snippets of information, quotes, pictures - and even some chapters of book(s) I am writing on the surnames that appear in my family tree. Who knows? there may even be some information that might help you, dear reader..."
Well, I've managed the 'anecdotes, snippets of information, quotes, pictures' part. I haven't done the 'chapters of book(s)' bit, though - I suppose I am still too nervous of copyright thieves. Anyway, the book I was writing ('Faith and Silk', about my way-back-when silkweaver ancestors) has proved to be such a monumental task that I have put it on the back burner while I flex my writing muscles on more 'modern' topics, such as my grandparents' life stories, joining in the Family History Writing Challenge, taking up the A-Z Challenge, and writing about Fearless Females.
The best thing I have discovered about writing a family history blog is that it focuses you. At least, it did me. Although I frequently tell beginners not to take a scattergun approach, I am rather poor at taking my own advice - and began to wonder why I wanted to give up researching my ancestors when I 'only' had about 3,000 of them. Then I started this blog, and it has done wonders for my research approach. Geneabloggers, with its excellent daily blogging prompts, and Thomas MacEntee with his boundless enthusiasm for the craft, have inspired me and FOCUSED me so that my family history has benefited enormously.
Thank you, Thomas, and also to all those who have followed me.

I know the standard mindset is hit a muscle group, let em rest, and maybe hit them again for twice in one week. But it seems like bis and tris everyday would be counterproductive.
I break down my muscle groups in to "major" and "accesory" groups.
arm muscles, like grip, calves, traps, I consider an accessory group. They are accessories for my focus on heavy, low rep, compound movements.
As such I train all accessory groups with increased frequency. Major groups get hit twice per week. I only do enough at the END of a workout to fully finish off the accessory group. because the groups i listed as daily, or 3+ times per week are used in almost every compound lift, they tend to be used to getting hit and having to work again soon. This allows for greater training volume, plus the weights are reduced.
plus the weights are reduced

Akshay Kumar's latest production Speedy Singhs will soon be hitting the screens all over. The film is based on the sport of ice hockey. During the filming of this movie, Akshay got interested in the sport and decided to donate Rs 2 crore to the Ice Hockey Association of India (IHAOI). The actor and the makers of Speedy Singhs have now taken it upon them to promote the sport within the country. Akshay who is known for his association with all kinds of sports had donated about the same amount of money for an annual karate tournament early this year. Khiladi Kumar has indeed outdone it this time! Speedy Singhs releasing on September 23 has been written by the main lead of the film, Vinay Virmani.

Why did Lauren Vaughn introduce her sister to the man she herself was crazy about? Now Lauren is watching the happy couple at their combined bachelor/bachelorette party - while Lauren sits all alone at the bar. Until she spots a hot stranger with the telltale black handkerchief in his pocket: the signal for "seeks no-strings affair with sexy submissive." Lauren can't take her eyes off him. So when he comes over, she kicks her inner good girl to the curb and follows Jamie Forman to his room, where he makes her scream with pleasure all night long.
But Jamie is a complicated man. He can't handle how desperately he wants her in his bed - and his life. It's up to Lauren to teach him how to make all night last forever.
©2012 Gillian Archer (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
I have now I listened and read over 1500 books since 2010. Goodreads.com is a good way to find books and keep track of what you've read.
"So Much Better Than 50 Shades"
Fifty Shades of Grey may be the "hottest thing" but realistic? Not so much. How about a short book where there is an actual negotiation, a safety call, a safe word decided by the bottom, a dominant who admits he isn't perfect, a submissive who struggles with using a safe word and comes to terms in a healthy way with it, and conversation about local community and munches? This is it.
Unfortunately it's the only book I could find by Gillian Archer but it was well worth it and I hope there are more in the future.
"Good and Hot"
Yes, I would. This was a fully fleshed out story with a creative plot. I would prefer this to whatever my radio is playing during 5 o'clock traffic
I can't think of a book off hand but this reminds me of the movie The Wedding Date with Debra Messing. Except the romance scenes are way hotter.
Lauren the heroine and she did a great Jamie as well. No wimpy male voice for Jamie.
When Lauren was sitting at the bar trying to get drinks for the table and she noticed they already had their drinks and did not bother to tell her. It made me really sad and you can feel how her family, namely her sister takes advantage of her and her low self esteem about her body. Then I am excited because she notices Jamie who is hella hot checking her out.
Looking for a short listen that has some realistic BDSM elements and a heroine you can like. Give it a try.
"Not what I expected to be."
Yes I would try another book by Gillian Archer/and or Felicity Munroe.
Well the part I would change about the story would be that the story didn't really tell much about the two main characters in the book. They really didn't do much together and based on the name and picture of the book I was expecting a much steamier story.
no, wasn't very interesting to read a follow-up book.
"Love the BDSM scenes!"
I liked Wicked Weekend because of the BDSM scenes. This is one of the reasons that I love Audible, because I can get Erotica.
The "HEAT" that the narration by Felicity Munroe brings to the book. When you listen, it is easier to get "all hot and bothered".
I wanted to smack Lauren (female character), when she was self depricating, in the beginning. And cheering for J (male character) when he stands up for her.
Where can I get more books by Gillian Archer??
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Boring and predictable"
Was looking forward to a quick happy listen but this book was very boring and predictable all round. The sex/ love scenes were not romantic or hot in any way. Lucky it was cheap enough so won't bother returning.
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"A Short Sweet Treat"
This was a short yummy treat. Kinda like a candy bar. It's quick and just full of that "sex" sugar. Sometimes you don't want a long book to listen to and this one hit the spot. I really enjoyed it and the price of admission.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
I liked the idea of the story. Jamie was hot and I'd be somewhat interested in seeing where their story will go from here. However, this book was very boring and predictable all round. The sex/ love scenes were not romantic or hot in any way. Lucky it was cheap enough so won't bother returning. Would I read it again...no.
"Wanted a full book instead of this short story"
Good story about overcoming your own limitations by trying something new that pushes your boundaries. You will enjoy it if you don't mind "insta-attraction". My biggest complaint is that it was too short. I loved the ending and would love to learn more about this couple. Well narrated by Felicity Munroe.
"too short"
was a sexy story but it was not worth using a whole credit up on it.

Hi everyone. I've been following the IOWA caucus and the fundamentalist extreme right wing pro-life evangelical Republican candidates whose views I find abhorrent. It seems to me in the UK that religion and politics are intrinsically linked in the USA. I feel rather impotent to do anything this side of the pond. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful.
I agree, trouble is I'm on the UK side of the pond as well. Can you imagine a British Politician espousing religion like the candidates in the GOP race? Brits would be a bit scared of that and would probably write them off as religious weirdo nutters!
Yeah I know, I meant mainstream politicians even Blair didn't do god until after he left the premiership!
Thanks Greg I'm very naive .its like whoever is the most amoral (pro guns,pro war,pro life, anti gay etc) is going to secure them the most votes. If this were happening in the UK it would be the opposite. I'm just staggered that belief in creationism is seen as a vote winner. what is going on the American psyche? *bewildered*
It's a mistake to think that this is the "American psyche". What it is, is that there are a lot of people here, and it's not a homogeneous society. There is a large contingent of every imaginable group. And there is an exceptionally large number of religious and conservative people in rural and suburban areas.
Imagine that the UK, Turkey, Italy, Ukraine, and Spain were one country. That would approach the population of the US. There are 70 million Turks, and they would represent a very large voting block of conservative Muslims, compared to the rest of the nation. Plus you'd have all the Italian and Spanish Catholics, and the relatively under-educated Ukrainians. Now try to get them to elect a single President. Sure, you'd have millions of educated, non-religious people in the large cities and throughout the UK region, but would it overcome the millions of others? Sometimes it would, sometimes not. You'd end up with a political party to cater to the home-grown, simple wisdom of the common folks and demonize the "elite" liberals. That's America.
By the way, I'm a liberal atheist who would take issue with you lumping "pro guns" in with amoral things. It's a freedom issue. The millions of legal gun owners here may be, in general, conservative, but they aren't the ones shooting each other in the streets.
That's the best analogy I've read in a long time.Thanks stutz.
I was impressed.
As an American, I'm not sure there is anything that can be done. The GOP does not have a valid platform or any worthy candidates. Their only hope is prey on the religious beliefs in our country to win elections. It's a pretty amazing and disturbing trend that has been escalating. As long as there are people in this country who will vote on religious beliefs alone, candidates will continue to pander to them.
Hey Bob (and @Kenny),
This might sound cryptic but do you know anyone who has, or who knows someone who has, written for the British Council or attended its meetings?
You can ask your friends about it by giving them this link to their site:
You never know what two or three levels of indirection will yield ... and if you do know someone like this I'll explain.
- kk
Don't lose sleep over the US. 1) For every fundamentalist voter, there is a voter who votes more based on nonreligious issues; 2) most Americans, even the religious, are a bit put off by extreme fundamentalism; 3) I don't see any Republicans, even Mitt Romney, as electable. However, let's pray it's a nut job like Santorum or Paul. They are REALLY unelectable.
Hi Unseen,
You better hope they are unelectable, I'd hate to see what would happen if a nutjob like Santorum was elected president of the most powerful country in the world!

Parrot Minikit Smart
Smartphones can do just about anything, including give driving directions, but looking at directions while driving can be difficult when the phone keeps sliding around the dashboard. Parrot, a company known for its quality Bluetooth devices, has a solution: the Parrot Minikit Smart. The suction-mounted device holds smartphones between 56 and 70 mm wide and is compatible with all navigation software. An integrated speaker and microphone connect to the phone via Bluetooth, boosting the sound of turn-by-turn directions while also acting as a hands-free calling device. The mount even has a slot for charging the phone so those navigation apps won't eat up the battery. It is available at Best Buy and Fry's Electronics for $129.99.
Casio Exilim EX-S200
The Casio Exilim EX-S200 digital camera is great for capturing memories on the go. The slim design makes it ideal for carrying in a pocket or purse. Despite its small size, the camera packs a punch.

Burst shooting mode makes taking fast-action photos a breeze with a rate of up to 10 frames per second. Camera novices can take advantage of the Premium Auto mode, which analyzes the scene and optimizes the settings. The Exilim EX-S200 is available at Best Buy for $179.99.
Eton Soulra Solar Powered Sound System
iPod and iPhone docks are a dime a dozen but the Eton Soulra is different. The dock is an all-weather system perfect for listening to music on the go. Charge the device via the lithium ion battery before taking it to the beach or tailgate party and flip up the solar panel to make sure the tunes play until the sun goes down. The speakers are sealed inside of a rubberized aluminum body and a protective cover slips over your Apple device so it is resistant to outdoor elements such as sand and water. The Eton Soulra costs $199.95 and is available at the Apple Store.

Kinect for Xbox 360
Motion control is the latest trend for gaming and Microsoft thinks it's perfected the system. Unlike the Nintendo Wii or Move for Playstation 3, Kinect for Xbox 360 is a completely controller-free experience. It is essentially a camera that can track the movements of multiple players in front of the screen. It also has integrated voice controls for navigating Xbox menus and video chat. Kinect comes as a stand-alone peripheral for $149.99 or as a set with an Xbox 360 starting at $299.99 and is available at the Microsoft Store at The Shops at Mission Viejo.

The TV, including four pairs of lightweight, battery-free 3D glasses, is available at Costco and Sam's Club for $3,699.99.
Greensound Technology Glass Speakers
Speaker design has not improved much over the years. Most are eyesores that break down over time. Greensound Technology breaks the speaker mold with their one-of-a-kind glass speakers. Recently, the Irvine-based company decided to offer their products to the public. Using a base structure and specially engineered glass, Greensound glass speakers produce a high frequency, 360-degree sound ideal for large homes, yachts and lobbies. A set including at least two speakers and a subwoofer starts at $8,000. Information is available at gstspeakers.com.
Parrot AR.Drone
If you read through this entire list and thought, "The techie in my life already has stuff like this," then the Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter is the perfect gift. Even the person who already has everything probably does not have this yet. The small flying object works much like a radio-controlled helicopter except it is controlled wirelessly using an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Two integrated cameras on the Drone stream video to the device using Wi-Fi. On-screen controls and physically moving your handheld device will control the Drone's movement. Users can even participate in games combining the real world seen on-camera and augmented reality on-screen. No iPhone? No problem. Support for other platforms is expected soon. The Parrot AR.Drone costs $299.99 and is available at Brookstone.

I am a 2nd year university and I am having an extremley hard time creating a patch. Basically, I have 2 .mov files. one is live footage and the other is that same live footage with animation drawn over top. I want to be able to show the live footage, than via an electronic switch, switch between the live footage and the animated footage, however the reason i need them running at the same time is so that when the switch is pushed to cycle between the 2, they start at the same frame.
Any ideas on where i could start. Right now i've got 2 videos running in jitter, but i cant figure out how to string them together.
hi.. maybe sending the message [frame 0] or whatever number of frame you wish to both qt.movies when the switch is pushed?
switching between jitter matrices is as simple as plugging the two matrix connections into the two inputs of a [switch 2] object. compositing two matrices is a different story. please show us what you've come up with, and explain what is not working, but posting a copy-compressed patch.

Existentialism is something everyone has heard of. It belongs among those '-isms', like cubism and surrealism, whose succès de scandale make them part of the consciousness of our century. The popular image is, however, full of misconceptions which need to be scotched if understanding of the philosophy examined in this book is not to be prejudiced.
These misconceptions are prevalent among those who have picked up their existentialism from dictionaries, encyclopaedias and popular histories of ideas. Typical is the description of existentialism as 'the metaphysical expression of the spiritual dishevelment of a post-war age'. So, too, is one historian's description of it as 'the assertion that life is more than logic . . . that the subjective and personal must be more highly valued and the objective and intellectualized must be depreciated'. The Concise Oxford English Dictionary entry is particularly wayward: 'An anti-intellectual philosophy of life, holding that...

Despite all the good ESPN does for the world of sports, they tend to fail miserably sometimes. One of their worst fails of all time? The show First Take. It's terrible, to say the least.
The show recently asked "Could Tebow have led 49ers to the Super Bowl?". ESPN will do anything to talk about Tebow, even if he is relegated to third string and could potentially never start in the NFL again.
When in the history of sports has anyone asked if a back-up quarterback could have led a completely random team to the Super Bowl?
Listen, I believe Tebow can win in the NFL. What is crazy is ESPN doing whatever they can to get his name on some sort of headline.
What do you think about this? Sound off below!

MANVEL, N.D. -- A group of northeastern North Dakota residents came away with Justin Bieber T-shirts after they helped get one of the teen pop star's tour busses back on the road.
The bus carrying tour staff members made an emergency stop in Manvel on Friday morning after a wheel on a trailer blew out. Bieber was not on board.
Bieber played in Winnipeg on Thursday and the bus was heading to Minneapolis for a Saturday show.
Shilo Lindemann, one of three people who helped repair the tire, tells the Grand Forks Herald that the trio didn't accept the bus driver's offer to pay for the service.
However, Lindemann says he has a niece who's "in love with the Biebs," so he thought it was a good idea to get her a T-shirt.

That's Change I can believe inPosted Monday, November 10, 2008, at 9:30 AM
I am a big fan of our government. Why you ask? Because it works.
I am growing increasingly aggravated with people who assume that one person, i.e. the President, will make or break the country. In case you haven't been paying attention, the President is only one man. You see our government has a system of Checks and Balances set up so that no one branch of government can become too powerful. The legislative branch creates the laws, the judicial branch interprets the laws and the executive branch enforces the laws. In our country the President is more of a face than anything else. Yes, he is influential with this ideas and goals, however he has to get congress to agree. In fact, if anybody has ever been in a student organization in college or any other group, the president is the least powerful individual. In most cases, according to parliamentary procedure, the president can only vote to create or break a tie. In the case of the U.S. government, the President doesn't vote period. The President does have the power to sign legislation, veto the legislation or let it die on his desk without a signature. Also, he appoints the supreme court justices. But back to the Check and Balances, congress has to approve the appointments. I do believe that President-elect Barack Obama is a man out to change the country and I am okay with that. However, I also believe that whether Obama or McCain won, the change would not be immediate. I believe that change will happen, but not that quickly, it will be a while before things really begin to change. During his campaign Obama said, "That's change we can believe in!" To me, slow change is change I can believe in. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] You are generally correct on your assessment of the system of checks and balances. However, the President is more than just a figurehead. Much of the globe takes its cues from the acts of the office of the Presidency. In the areas of foreign policy and the use of the military, the POTUS wields extreme authority. Especially in a situation such as the present...with a Congress and President united in affiliation, there is the possibility of substantial change. With the appointment of justices, the President can greatly influence the way that the Constitution is interpreted. -- Posted by il Duce on Mon, Nov 10, 2008, at 10:57 PM
Very true, however, I think that some people are viewing the POTUS (as you put it) as some almighty higher power that will either be the savior of the country or the man who leads the country to it's demise. As we've seen with the Bush term, the President is only as powerful as the administration which supports him. President Bush should not be the only one to blame for the country's current situations. I believe that he was misinformed to a point by his administration. I commend him for being loyal to his supporters, however, I also believe that he was too loyal to the point where it was destructive to his cause and his country. I may not have voted for Barack Obama but I will support him as the leader of my country. After all, he would do a heck of a better job than I would. -- Posted by FST_Pommier on Tue, Nov 11, 2008, at 11:17 AM
The problem is that most people do not seperate internal and external problems. The POTUS (as the Secret Service calls him) commands extreme authority with the executive order. These declarations are not subject to congressional approval and can be administered at will. This shapes domestic policy. The more severe problem exists in foreign policy projection. The world still looks the The United States as the bastion of rightiousness, regardless of what many would like you to believe. In this capacity, the POTUS (through his action or words) speaks for all American citizens. -- Posted by il Duce on Tue, Nov 11, 2008, at 1:17 PM

properly means the "ability to judge." Hippocrates said that all diseases had their periods, when the humours of the body ebbed and flowed like the tide of the sea. These tidal days he called critical days, and the tide itself a crisis, because it was on these days the physician could determine whether the disorder was taking a good or a bad turn. The seventh and all its multiples were critical days of a favourable character. (Greek, krino, to judge or determine.)

Chicago's hip-hop scene has seen better days. Kanye is out tweeting about his hatred for khaki shorts, Common has split his time between having hilarious beefs with Drake and making bizarre cameos in romantic comedies and Happy Feet Two, and Lupe Fiasco is still recovering from Lasers, a glossy, over-produced slice of corporate rap that was lukewarm at best. These days, California and New York have reclaimed the crown from the Windy City (So much for watching the throne), and aside from the wacky antics of Detroit native Danny Brown and all-star Minneapolis collective Doomtree, the Midwest has been pretty dead lately.
There's no better timing, then, for C.A.R., the stellar new LP from Chi-Town rapper Serengeti. In the same way that Killer Mike's recent masterpiece R.A.P. Music set a new standard for Southern rap, C.A.R. signals new promise for the Chicago sound. Even though the record was crafted in Berkeley at the cottage of key Anticon producer Odd Nosdam, this is no piece of Golden State sunshine. In fact, the beats here are as gloomy and forlorn as an icy gale from Lake Michigan, closer to Trent Reznor than Tupac. In fact, two of the songs on this album are called "Cold" and "Chill." Beck-ian traces of morose country and stretched-out guitars serve as dusty aural bookends; opener "Greyhound," an aloof reflection on the difficult reconciliation of action and detachment, serves as a perfect counterpart to the somber finale, "Uncle Traum."
Nosdam channels the pick-and-choose eclecticism made famous by Madlib and Peanut Butter Wolf with plenty of scratches and clever sampling. But as clever as C.A.R.'s production may be, the real strength is in the spitting. Serengeti is a master at weaving intricate webs with his wordplay—and making it look as easy as brushing his teeth. On "Talk To Me," he manages to name-drop Bon Iver (twice), Papa Roach and Neneh Cherry—all in different contexts, and in a manner that, for once, doesn't sound like a rapper trying to pump up his hipster credentials. And over the sparse cymbals of "Go Dancin," he promises the object of his affections a seemingly infinitesimal list of pleasures—"tapas," "A puppy/We'll name him Benjamin," "Feeding the geese"—with an urgency bordering on pleading that finally explodes in a furious climax. There are no throwaway songs about weed, women or cars here, just 11 separate streams of consciousness, each with subtle lyrical and instrumental nuances. And in this post-Lil-B world, that may be just what Chicago—and the rest of the country—needs.

A 28-year-old man was arrested Friday on a warrant in connection with the theft of 24 school bus batteries.
MIDDLEBORO – A 28-year-old man was arrested Friday on a warrant in connection with the theft of 24 school bus batteries.Police say Jonathan Thomas of 518 Wareham St. was selling the batteries, which are valued at $120, as scrap metal for between $8 to $15 each.
Lt. Robert D. Ferreira Jr. said a majority of the batteries were recovered at a Hanson recycler along with batteries stolen from the heavy equipment company ADH Contracting, which is located near the East Grove Street bus lot. The thefts were believed to have occured Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
A tipster led police to the vehicle used in the theft from bus lot, and Detective Robert W. Lake identified Jonathan Thomas as a suspect.
Thomas was charged with larceny by false pretense (taking money for stolen merchandise) and receiving stolen property.
Ferreira said Whitman detectives recovered 15 more batteries in a salvage facility in Whitman believed to be stolen from Middleboro, and Thomas faces additional charges.
Bail for Thomas was set at $1,040, and he was taken to the Plymouth House of Correction.
Thomas is expected to be arraigned Monday at Wareham District Court.

Tiny Terrier Rescued From Traffic
While the country's top dogs strutted their stuff at Westminster, thousands of miles away a rat terrier in Texas was taking a stroll of his own — and wound up on a dangerous busy freeway. Kyle Jones, a La Porte police officer happened to spot tiny Cujo while on patrol and quickly spun his car around to block traffic and save the terrified pooch. "When I saw the size of it, I immediately hit my lights and shut all lanes off," he said. Cujo, wet and shivering but otherwise fine, was reunited with his family (who had been searching for him all day) and a photo of Jones saving the dog has gone viral. — Read it at KHOU Plus: Heroic police officers aren't just in Texas. In Michigan yesterday, cops also rescued a dog that fell through an icy lake while out on a walk with his owner. First responders managed to keep the dog swimming until two policeman were able to pull it ashore with a hook attached to a stick. — Read it at Ann Arbor News
To Get Lucky, Fish Hang With Ugly Friends
When it comes to scoring chicks, male fish have a pretty good strategy, according to researchers. A study from the University of Western Australia found that guy guppies are likely to surround themselves with friends that are less attractive than they are so they will be noticed by females — which makes them more likely to get picked as a mate."We believe we have showed how drab males can still be chosen by females — if they are able to exploit the right social context," said researcher Clelia Gasparini, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Western Australia. In other words, even ugly fish can find love. — Read it at Live Science
First Elephant Born at Prague Zoo
An Indian elephant made history on Monday as the first pachyderm to be born at the Prague Zoo in its 82-year history. The birth is also special in that it helpsexpand the genetic base of European breeding of Indian elephants, said the zoo's deputy director.

Turtle Test-Drives New Front Legs
When Yu, a 25-year-old loggerhead turtle, was pulled out of a fisherman's net in 2008, she was missing 1/3 of her front right flipper and 1/2 of her left, most likely due to a shark attack. Researchers at her new home aquarium in Japan immediately began developing artifical limbs for her. The latest design — her 27th pair — might just be the winner. The rubber limbs are attached to a vest slipped over her head."We have worked hard to design the vest in a way that prevents the turtle from taking it off unwittingly," aquarium curatorNaoki Kamezaki said."It can flutter the limbs as the vest is soft." — Read it at Discovery News
Pig in Wheelchair Goes Viral
Speaking of incredibly cute animals that need a little help getting around: Chris P. Bacon, a month-old piglet born without the use of his hind legs, has become an Internet sensation after his owner, veterinarian Dr. Len Lucero, built him a wheelchair from a toy-building set and posted a video of the pig and his chair on YouTube. The precious porker, whose video now has more than 470,000 views, has been invited to stop by Anderson Cooper's 360 on Thursday and Lucero thinks his rising star will continue to skyrocket from there."Chris P.

Following the repeal vote, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan issued the following statement: "Despite the Supreme Court upholding much of the health care law, it is not its role to determine the policy merits of the law. That falls to the elected representatives of the people. For that reason, the House acted to repeal this misguided law to begin replacing it with patient-centered solutions. "The president's health care overhaul is already hurting workers, seniors, taxpayers and our future fiscal health. This law fails to slow down the unsustainable growth in health care spending and completely dodges the necessary reforms to preserve the Medicare guarantee for future generations of seniors. Its taxes, penalties, fees and regulations will stifle job creation and its budget gimmicks can't hide the trillions of dollars of new government spending that will only cause our dire fiscal situation to further erode. "We must advance common-sense solutions to tackle the challenges in health care by inviting choice and competition into the system. True reform will fix the inequities in our tax system while addressing the structural flaws in Medicare and Medicaid to give patients and doctors greater control of their health care decisions. We can provide universal access to health care without a budget-busting takeover by the federal government. "With the right kind of leadership in place, I am confident that we can advance real health care solutions in this country. The power now rests with the American people to decide the ultimate fate of this disastrous law." ### f t # e Tags: Entitlements: Health Care / Social Security , Economy / Financial Related News Budget Republicans Call for Action on Health, Retirement, and Economic Security Programs Posted in Press Releases on July 29, 2015 | Preview rr Price Op-Ed in RealClearPolitics: A Healthy Economy For All Posted in Commentary on January 23, 2015 | Preview rr Ryan's Opening Statement: The Long-Term Budget Outlook Posted in Speeches and Statements on July 16, 2014 | Preview rr CBO: The Budget Is on an Unsustainable Path Posted in Press Releases on July 15, 2014 | Preview rr

Check Engine light went on as I drove out of the repair shop. Bummer.
I'm sorry to hear that the Check engine light came on.
As I'm sure you know we would at no charge take a look at why the check engine light is on for you.
As an older client once said, That's why pencils have erasers on the end - so you could fix your mistakes.
Thanks for the Posting and let us take care of it for you.
Ralph and Team
One of my cars is 12 years old, and the other is 14 years old, but they both still look and run as if they were new, thanks to European Auto Works.

I mentioned the problem regarding shifting into gears which they claim the VW is OK, yet i still have issues. Price is too high.
Honest service, but a bit pricey.
I wish EAW would send me reminder emails when my car is due for service.
I have a '99 Audi A4 and she is running great because I always get her routine service at European Auto Works :)
Good repair shop - they take the time to explain the problem and the likely solutions
Great staff, shop and service. Always pleased with my experience at European Auto Works.
Some recomended repairs not really needed .
Yes Lucian,
Recommended repairs are just that, Recommendations.
We can all ignore the recommendations till it becomes a major issue.
That's why we prioritize the repairs in order of importance.
Please call if you have any questions.
Ralph and team.
A bit on the expensive side Also a lot of nickel and dime'ing especially after considering the repair bill already being significant
Great Shop. Good advice. Paperwork took too long though.
I felt people wanted to give good care to my car. Attention was very professional and personal at the same time.
Knowledgeable and conscientious. Make recommendations and provide alternatives. Will advise on other services that could be done with reasonable advice on level of criticality, impact, risks, and cost trade-offs.
I Like how professional and transparent they are. I love the fact that for lesser money you get same level of service as you will get in Authorized dealer.
I took the car in without an appointment and they were able to fix it in a couple of hours. Very responsive.
Always good with EAW
The most experienced and knowledgeable shop I have come across, ever. I am very impressed with the owner and the shops equipment and dedication to service.
Very professional outfit. The car always runs great when I get it back!
The charge was over my expectation, but they knew what they were doing.
Happy with the job done.
These guys are so knowledgeable I wouldn't take my car anywhere else!
I'm not generally a giver of top marks on surveys of this type, but the guys at EAW deserve them. Not noted on the survey was the excellent customer service and meticulous attention to detail. Keep up the good work Ralph, John, Cliff, and all the guys at EAW!
Very professional. Very courteous. Extremely thorough in identifying and explaining the issues on my X5. I'll be back.
Staff is responsive and courteous. They always answer the phone promptly and clearly explain any issues they find with your car.
Cliff is Awesome. Ralph is Great. Beautiful clean and well-maintained facility.
My car always runs really well after I pick it up from the shop and I always feel confident that my repairs were done correctly which is important for a female.
In addition to making current repair, they provided a printout and estimated costs of items that need, or will need repairing in near future.
My car had been washed when I picked it up, which I had not expected. A nice touch.
The best part of the experience at European Auto Works is the customer service. Their computers track manufacturers recommended maintenance schedules and they also track things to watch for in your vehicle. All potential repairs are well explained to the customers to enable good decisions.
I trust them.
European Auto works nailed my Volvo problem, unlike the dealer, who actually refused to acknowledge there had been a recall for this PRECISE problem...they lied! Everyone at European Auto Works treats you with respect, courtesy and, most importantly, HONESTY! These are the people you want on your team!
Thank you!
The gentlemen behind the desk were very informative and helpful and knew what they were talking about.
Everybody at European Auto Works I ever talked to or had any contact with is extremely professional and courteous. They are responsive on inquiries and prices are well in line with the level of service received. I have actively recommended them to many of my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.

ICM Aims to Head Off Intern Class Action By Bringing Arbitration Claim
By Eriq Gardner and Matthew Belloni, The Hollywood Reporter
So far, the flood of litigation over unpaid internship programs hasn't hit the inner sanctum of Hollywood talent agencies, but that doesn't mean there aren't efforts underway to recruit potential plaintiffs. Now ICM Partners is looking to stay ahead of the curve by bringing one of its ex-interns to arbitration.
A demand for arbitration was filed against a former intern on Friday, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, adding a new wrinkle to the ongoing internship legal controversy. To date, Fox Entertainment, NBCUniversal, Warner Music and Sony are just a few of the companies that have been hit with lawsuits from former interns alleging violations of wage and overtime laws.
The Fox dispute covering internships on the Oscar-nominated film Black Swan has been particularly influential after a federal judge determined that the company was the "employer" of two former interns as that term is defined in the Fair Labor Standards Act. Last June, that same judge also certified a class action over internships throughout Fox's corporate departments. The ruling is on appeal.
Success breeds imitation, especially among class action lawyers. This is especially true in regards to the issue of unpaid internships, which for some lawyers, is a social justice one.
Hollywood talent agencies, which often have robust internship programs, could make a juicy target.
According to sources, one former female intern in ICM's New York office has been making litigation threats and has brought lawyers on board to represent her.
Now, ICM wants to cut her off at the courthouse gate. The agency, represented by the Proskauer law firm, believes its internship program is purely educational and that interns are not tasked with replacing the duties performed by employees. So it's being proactive against the former intern.
The arbitrability of a dispute where an intern claims to be an employee isn't something that has been adjudicated, as far as we're aware. In fact, in response to the Black Swan case, some employment lawyers have been advising companies to get interns to explicitly agree to arbitration as a condition of bringing them on.
Although the major Hollywood agencies like ICM have thus far escaped the wrath of former interns, there has been one case against an agency. In May, Elite Model Management announced a settlement -- the largest to date over the issue of internships. According to the terms, 150 of its ex-interns were guaranteed a minimum payment of $700 up to $1750 for their time worked at Elite. In total, the modeling agency paid $450,000 to settle claims.

2) My opinion of the man is not relevant to your issues with his foreign policy. 3) It is all related to foreign policy either indirectly like those you quote or directly like the others you didn't mention below (nice cherry picking though). -Stop taking money from the middle class and the poor to give to rich dictators through foreign aid. -Revitalize the military for the 21st century by eliminating waste in a trillion-dollar military budget. -Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job and then bring them home. -End the nation-building that is draining troop morale, increasing our debt, and sacrificing lives with no end in sight. -Guarantee our intelligence communitys efforts are directed toward legitimate threats and not spying on innocent Americans through unconstitutional power grabs like the Patriot Act. -Avoid long and expensive land wars that bankrupt our country by using constitutional means to capture or kill terrorist leaders who helped attack the U.S. and continue to plot further attacks. |

3-foot, What non-war powers are granted to our government for capturing or killing terrorists on foreign soil? How can the intel community possibly know who a legitimate threat is if they can't look at e-mails from suspected terrorists?
I lean Libertarian (not to be confused with the modern liberalized version of the party), but I take some real-world opinions into it. Isolationissm would be the best thing we could do, but that would involve our government getting smaller and that will not happen without a revolt. |

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Passan Early OriginsThe surname Passan was first found in Norfolk at Paston, a village and civil parish held by Thorold from William de Warren, a Norman Baron, who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. At that time the place name was recorded as Pastuna and possibly meant "farmstead of a man called Paecci." Alternatively, the first element could have been derived from the Old English word paesce which meant "muddy place or pool." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Paston Hall was built by William Paston (1378-1444) and was rebuilt by Sir William Paston (1528-1610) after a fire. This has been the traditional home of the Paston family who are best known for the Paston Letters, a collection of correspondence between members of the family, and others associated with the family between 1422 and 1509. These documents now kept in the British Museum, the Bodleian Library, Oxford, at Magdalen College, Oxford, and at Pembroke College, Cambridge and provide a wealth of information of the life and times of the Paston family.

Sitting on the banks of the river Duero, the town of Almazán owes its name to the Arabs. It has remains of a wall, two entrance gates –Mercado and Herreros- and several churches. It is worth touring its streets at length, especially the main square, where you will find the palace of the Counts of Altamira, and some of its churches, such as San Vicente, from the 12th century; San Miguel, from the mid-12th century, declared to be a National Monument, which combines elements of the Cistercian style in the structure, Lombardic-Catalan design in the external decoration of the apse and the lantern, and the Mudejar style in the dome; and San Pedro, a religious temple from the 18th century, with a plan of three naves and a beautiful baroque reredos. Also interesting are the ruins of the convent of La Merced and the palace of the Hurtado de Mendoza family, from the 16th century.

"Oh my God! What's he doing?" "Robbie, who are you talking to?" "Nobody." In elliptical snippets, the new trailer for Paranormal Activity 4 lets us know that all is not right in Henderson, New York. And that "Katie and Hunter's whereabouts remained unknown ... Until now."
And trying to keep its grass-roots edge in pre-opening publicity, Paramount Pictures will debut the fourth film in the popular horror franchise in 25 cities around the world, depending on fans' votes on Facebook. Facebook's 955 million worldwide users can win a free advance screening in their city before the official Oct. 19 film opening by using the new "Want It" button on the film's fan page.
The original Paranormal Activity, which cost a paltry $15,000 and was shot in documentary style, got a big boost from social media, resulting in top-grossing box office intake.
At that time, Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore told The Economic Times, "We all spend a lot of time talking about Facebook and Twitter and our ability to communicate. Here's a case where it allows people to rally around a movie they care about and for them to have a sense of participation, then tell other people, 'Hey, this is something you should see, too.'"
"The success of Paranormal Activity began with the fans who have championed the movie franchise from the very beginning through social media," said Amy Powell, executive vice president of Paramount's interactive marketing. "Now we're creating an even more dynamic experience among the film's community of fans."
Fans can view the new trailer and vote for their preview city at the film's website.

Granted complete access to the commanders and troops of the 101st, Atkinson saw their war from the preparations in Kuwait through the occupation of Baghdad. As the war unfolded, he witnessed the division's struggles to overcome a murderous attack by one of its own soldiers, a disastrous Apache helicopter raid, and fierce resistance from guerrilla diehards in Najaf, Karbala, and Hilla.
At the center of Atkinson's drama stands the compelling figure of Major General David H. Petraeus, described by one comrade as "the most competitive man on the planet." Atkinson observes Petraeus as he teaches, goads, and leads his troops and subordinate commanders in several intense battles. All around Petraeus, we watch the men and women of a storied division grapple with the challenges of waging war in an unspeakably harsh environment. But even as the military wins an overwhelming victory, we also see portents of the battles that would haunt the occupation in the long months ahead.
"In the Company of Soldiers" is a dramatic, utterly fresh view of the modern American soldier in action from the premier military historian of his generation.

The 50th episode of Heroes, titled "Building 26", has just aired. What did everyone think of it?
Posted 18 February 2009 - 02:37 AM
This episode was more in the vain of what I was saying last week. We had isolated storylines that were given some time to develop. Yes, there were small bits that advanced the arching storyline, but that's how it's supposed to be. It was nice to see that this storyline with Noah is actually going somewhere instead of just being a replay of Season 1. And Hiro's story was very well done. I could even tolerate Sylar this week.
More like this will be a good thing.

And Hiro's story was very well done.
Mostly pointless, but well done.
I'm liking where they're taking Sylar in this volume. He doesn't really need the kid, so why bother saving his life? Unless, of course, he's planning on ripping his head open later. But I'm sensing that Sylar won't do that, that he views this kid like a younger brother.
But I still don't understand Nathan's decision to imprison all the super-powered people. He's treating innocent people like they're criminals, just because they have an ability. Most of them aren't even that dangerous (like the guy that can breathe underwater -- ooh, that's threatening!). Has he just lost his mind? Or is he really a super villain? Can't he see that what he's doing is wrong?

By Alexandra Valencia
QUITO, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Ecuador will open up part of the Amazon rainforest to oil drilling after rich nations failed to back a conservation plan that would have paid the country not to explore in the area, President Rafael Correa said on Thursday.
Correa launched the initiative in 2007 to protect the Yasuni area of the Amazon basin, which boasts some of the planet's most diverse wildlife, but said he had now scrapped it after it attracted only a small fraction of the sum it aimed to raise.
"I have signed the executive decree for the liquidation of the Yasuni-ITT trust fund and through it, end the initiative," Correa said in a televised address. ITT refers to three untapped oil blocks known collectively as Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini.
Scores of protesters, some with placards gathered in front of the presidential palace shortly after the announcement, angered by the decision, while others opposing them, waved flags in the color of Correa's political movement.
Ecuador, OPEC's smallest member, had planned to forgo opening the Yasuni basin, its more than 800 million barrels of crude and $7.2 billion in income from beneath the jungle floor as part of the conservation plan.
It was aimed at protecting wildlife - a single hectare (2.47 acres) of the Yasuni national park contains more tree species than in all of North America - and the livelihoods of indigenous peoples who fear oil drilling would damage their ancestral homeland.
In return, the government had hoped to receive some $3.6 billion from the international community over 12 years, or about half the value of the oil it would be leaving in the ground, through the fund administered by the United Nations.
In five years, however, only about $336 million had been pledged, mostly from European countries and various environmental groups, the campaign's manager, Ivonne Baki, said in April.
Correa said the plan had only actually received $13.3 million, less than half a percent of its goal.
Last month, Correa set up a commission to evaluate the plan's progress which concluded that "the economic results were not what the state had been hoping for," according to a statement published this week by the vice president's office.
Correa said he had now commissioned technical, economic and legal studies on the basis of which he would seek the backing of the national assembly for drilling in the region, a step required by the country's constitution.
Correa played down the potential impact of oil drilling in the area, saying it would affect only 0.01 percent of the Yasuni basin while his spokesman, Fernando Alvarado, said on Twitter that exploration could be carried out safely in the region.
But opponents will be hard to appease. Adrian Soria, a biologist, 38, and one of the protesters gathered outside the presidential palace, said the Yasuni basin's ecological worth was far greater than that of any oil it could offer.
"Yasuni is important for humanity and as Ecuadorians, we can make the difference ... Yasuni must be preserved and that is more important than the oil," he said.
Correa, a U.S.-trained economist, has won broad popular support among Ecuador's low-income majority with heavy spending on welfare, health, education and infrastructure projects.
He says it is essential for the country to expand its oil reserves in order to direct more state spending toward the poor.
Ecuador's oil output has stagnated at about 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) since 2010 when the government asked oil investors to sign less-profitable service contracts or leave the country.
Since then, oil companies have not invested in exploration. (Writing by Daniel Wallis; Editing by Peter Murphy and Sandra Maler)
