We're extremely proud and honored to announce the release of Abstracter's brand new second full-length album, in collaboration with An Out Recordings from Portland, Oregon. The album will be also available on 12" Vinyl LP through our amazing friends over at Fragile Branch Recordings (US), Vendetta Records (EU/DE), 7Degrees Records (EU/DE) and Shove Records (EU/IT), and through COF Records (Church Ov Fuck) (UK) as a limited edition hand-assembled CD. A pre-order of the release will be live soon at the band's Bandcamp. Stream the first track - Lightless - below, courtesy of CVLT Nation, and Cruciform courtesy of VICE.
Crafted in near-seclusion over the past two years, Wound Empire is a forty-five minute hallucinating voyage into a frightening wasteland of complete darkness-ridden heaviness. Spread across four, ten minute-long, massive slabs of obliterating crusted blackened doom, this new album by the Oakland band showcases a massive expansion upon their previous sound as seen on their critically praised debut album, Tomb of Feathers (which was released on CD in 2012 on The Path Less traveled Records and on tape by us), and presents us with a greatly evolved and enhanced vision of Abstracter's abyssal and crushing sound and of their grimness-injected sonic aesthetic.
Wound Empire
01. Lightless (10:56)
02. Open Veins (09:45)
03. Cruciform (10:21)
04. Glowing Wounds (11:10)
(Total running time: 42 minutes)
Centered once again around the construction of lengthy, winding and abyssal build up and collapse progressions, Wound Empire this time also brings entirely new elements to the sonic palette of the band and of their staple massive and enveloping riffing, appearing to be driven by an almost insatiable darkness and by a sinister and primordial hunger for complete sonic annihilation.... From the first disheartening notes of opening blackened sludge crusher Lightless it is in fact immediately clear that what is about to unravel on the listener is an almost absurd rampage of total sonic obliteration. For forty two minutes of senseless and uncontrolled hostility, Abstracter rip through four titanic ten minute-long surges of darkness-fueled anger and unleash an almost unbearable barrage of sonic devastation, snaking and winding their way down a path of complete and dismal destruction in which crust, doom metal, sludge, black metal, noise and psychedelia twist and collide into a daunting sonic downfall. Drawing musical influence from legendary underground heavyweights like Godflesh, Swans, Amebix,Neurosis, His Hero is Gone, Blut Aus Nord, Dystopia, Beherit, Corrupted, Grief, and Darkthrone, Wound Empire is a concept work that once again sees the band dwell in its obsession for massive and crushing riffing, dismal and unsettling soundscapes, and with their fascination with concepts of human decline, cultural and industrial ruin, and complete social collapse.
Wound Empire was recorded and mixed between May 23 and June 13th 2014 at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, California by Greg "The Wizard of Doom" Wilkinson (Brainoil, Iron Lung, Pallbearer Lycus, Laudanum, High On Fire, Noothgrush, OM, Atriarch, Sleep, Worm Ouroboros, Vohl) and was mastered at Audiosiege Mastering studios in Portland, Oregon by Brad Boatright (Wolves in the Throne room, Culted, Oathbreaker, Dead in the Dirt, Nails, Sleep, Sunn O))) and countless others), and is with out a shadow of a doubt a release to look out for in the underground and in the realm of all things heavy and dark, and is also an absolute must for any fan of bands like Altar of Plagues, Inter Arma, Thou, Samothrace, Amenra, Drudkh, Tragedy, Coffinworm, Indian, Unkind, Wolvhammer, Unearthly Trance and the such. The tape we're releasing with An Out Recordings will come in 100 units as a six-panel j-card in clear Norelco box with cardboard outer sleeve, and will bear beautiful artwork crafted for the band by Kevin Gan Yuen (Viraloptic.com) of Sutekh Hexen fame.
Abstracter's previous recordings have earned accolades from the press, including, "An impressive triumph" by Metal Hammer, "post metal in excelsis – out of this fucking world good!" by CVLT Nation, "Absolutely Immense" by Doommantia, "Amazing" by The Sludgelord, and "exceptionally vibrant DIY doom" by Exclaim! Having shared the stage with Eyehategod, Inter Arma, Hexis, Bell Witch, The Atlas Moth, Primitive Man, Kayo Dot, Author & Punisher, Usnea, Stonerburner, Braveyoung, Children Of God, Centuries, Eight Bells and many more, Abstracter will perform sporadic live shows throughout 2015 in support of their latest works.

Before & After: How This London Lawyer Designed Her Dream Home from Scratch
Lauren and James may not have wanted a home that's too modern but they have definitely created one made for modern living. Each space serves a purpose, and was designed to effortlessly accommodate every aspect of life. The bold dining room with Ikea's monochrome Stockholm rug, bright red sofa and infamous glass table by Glass Italia is a dream venue for those Friday night dinner parties turned game nights. The cosy 'orange sofa room' as Lauren calls it, featuring Loaf's comfortable Pudding sofa, is exactly what a Sunday afternoon curled up with a good book should look like, doubling as a chic cinema room. The common thread in this home seems to be understated, luxurious comfort. Lauren's love of throws, blankets and 'anything furry and cosy' makes sure that each room has an element of utter comfort. The double doors lead to what can only be described as a decor lovers dream. Moody walls, layered rugs, unique pieces like an English tanner's trolley by Lassco and jewel-like sideboard Umberto by Graham & Green; it's easy to see why this room with Swoon Edition's Sherborne mid-century arm chairs in particular is a favourite hangout spot, particularly for Ernie, the adorable French Bulldog of the house.

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been unveiled, it's time for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini rumors to pour in. Those include the CPU, design and even some leaked shots that appeared on the web recently. Today we're showing you a render of the Galaxy S4 Mini, done by YugaTech.
The device relies on the compamy's System on Chip Exynos 5210, a third SoC in the Exynos 5 lineup. The chipset is based on the ARM big.LITTLE architecture, although these are only rumors and I don't really expect the phone to be that powerful. The interesting bit here is that this processor doesn't combine two quad core CPUs, but two dual core ones instead (2x A7 and a 2x A15, maybe).
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will be a 4.3 inch smartphone with Android 4.2.2 on board, a qHD resolution and the TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0 applied on top of the OS. The design will be a smaller version of the regular Samsung Galaxy S4.

(SAN ANTONIO) — Eight people were found dead and about 30 others injured inside a brutally-hot semitrailer parked in a Walmart parking lot in San Antonio, Texas in what authorities are calling "a horrific scene."
Police described the incident as an apparent "human trafficking crime."
Authorities became aware of the truck overnight after a Walmart employee, who had been approached by someone who had been in the truck asking for water, notified police of the interaction, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said Sunday morning at a press conference, alongside other officials from the city.
Inside the semitrailer, authorities found eight dead bodies, as well as 20 other people who were in "extremely critical condition or very serious condition," and eight others suffering lesser injuries like heat stroke and dehydration, San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood told the press Sunday morning.
There were 38 people inside the truck in total, McManus said, and Hood added that at least two of them were "school-age" children.
The truck had no working air-conditioning system, and temperatures topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit, Hood said. McManus added that the truck's pass lacked access to water.
"They were very hot to the touch," Hood said of the people found inside.
The driver of the truck was arrested and could face federal and state charges, according to police. The driver's name was not given at Sunday morning's press conference.
"We're looking at a human-trafficking crime here," McManus said.
Meanwhile, surveillance video from the store showed that a number of vehicles entered the parking lot and "picked up lots of folks that were in that trailer that survived the trip," McManus said.
Some of the people who had been in the truck also ran into the woods, he said. The area was searched, and another attempt will be made in the morning, the officials said.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also been called in to help investigate the incident, officials said.
San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood, who stood alongside McManus at the press conference, said firefighters arrived on the scene at 12:26 a.m. local time, and began pulling the people out of the truck. The injured were taken to different hospitals, some by helicopter, he said.
Authorities said they still don't know the origin of the truck, or how long it had been parked at the Walmart, and that the search for such details are part of an active investigation currently underway.
The officials said more details about the victims, including their genders and ages, would be released in a future briefing.
While he called it a "horrific tragedy," the police chief said the discovery "is not an isolated incident. This happens quite frequently … fortunately there are people who survived, but this happens all the time," he said.
Thomas Homan, acting Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), weighed in on the incident, calling it a "horrific crime."
"By any standard, the horrific crime uncovered last night ranks as a stark reminder of why human smuggling networks must be pursued, caught and punished," Homan said in a statement. "These networks have repeatedly shown a reckless disregard for those they smuggle."
U.S. Attorney Richard L. Durbin Jr. of the Western District of Texas described what emergency workers found as "a horrific scene."
"All were victims of ruthless human smugglers indifferent to the well-being of their fragile cargo," Durbin said. "The South Texas heat is punishing this time of year. These people were helpless in the hands of their transporters. Imagine their suffering, trapped in a stifling trailer in 100-plus degree heat."

Selling Barnes & Noble: "Strategic Alternatives" Are Just Another Way to Say We Want it All
To the shock of the publishing industry -- and the delight of Wall Street -- Barnes & Noble (BKS) announced it's considering "strategic alternatives" to boost value for stockholders. And while the world's largest bookseller casually suggested one alternative was a possible sale of the company, it's more likely a calculated move for B&N to go private.
Assuming that B&N's got enough capital to float after the cost of going private, this could be a best-case scenario for its majority stakeholder Leonard Riggio, who currently owns 17.9 million shares of Barnes & Noble stock, or 29.9 percent of the shares outstanding.
Riggio's got more than a big investment at stake. As its founder, he's invested nearly fifty years to grow the business from one store in New York City into a Fortune 500 company that operates 720 bookstores and 637 college bookstores under its subsidiary Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, LLC.
It had to be tough for Riggio to go public (which he did in 1993 at $10 per split-adjusted share) but it was a necessary measure given B&N's exponential growth (and subsequent debt load) thanks to rapid expansion and its development of superstores.
But going public was fated to happen again. B&N was still growing its bricks and mortar business during the nascent phase of the internet. Indeed, while Amazon (AMZN) came along in 1995, B&N was a little late to that party, introducing its e-commerce side as a private enterprise, first through an exclusive deal with AOL in 1997, and then independently. Two years later, Barnes & Noble and then-partner Bertelsmann AG (the current owner of Random House) took barnesandnoble.com public, selling 18 percent of the company in exchange for a handsome infusion of $421.6 million.
Through expansions and divestments, one thing has remained constant: Riggio's inexorable tie to the brand (even his brother Steve Riggio is vice chairman of Barnes & Noble, Inc. and also serves as a member of the company's board of directors). So it's no surprise that Riggio fought hard against billionaire investor Ron Burkle, who snapped up about 18 percent of the company last year. Burkle argued for changes in Barnes & Noble's corporate governance (he wanted his Yucaipa Companies to be allowed to buy up to 30 percent of stock) and went so far as to drag that battle into court last month.
Though Burkle testified in court at the time that he didn't have designs on buying the company, no doubt Riggio wants to eliminate the specter of the grocery store magnate from his book business. Burkle certainly has the money and the tenacity to do it.
Others speculate that Amazon is a potential buyer and that consolidation would do the entire industry a world of good. Amazon's certainly got the upper hand revenue-wise, and the company's valued at $55 billion as opposed to B&N's $950 million. Unfortunately, such a move also has the potential to draw legal fire.
Back in 1998, the American Booksellers Association (ABA) and 26 independent booksellers filed suit against B&N claiming that it (and Borders) had violated antitrust laws by demanding publishers offer "illegal and secret" discounts based on the size of their buys.
A similar suit arose later that year when B&N was about to purchase Ingram, a major book distributor. In April 2001, the ABA finally announced that it had settled with Barnes & Noble for the not insignificant amount of $4.7 million.
I suspect neither Riggio, nor the shareholders want to play courtroom drama with Burkle and potentially lose even more money for the chain. Especially because of B&N's investment in its digital strategy is already paying off: B&N's online store saw a sales bump of 51 percent in last quarter and 32 percent the quarter before that -â€" the kind of numbers B&N enjoyed during the expansion era of the early 90s. In the next fiscal year, Web sales are expected to increase 75 percent to $1 billion. And let's not forget that B&N's rival e-reader Nook, was outselling the Kindle in its first month on sale and B&N's e-bookstore currently offers the largest selection of digital downloads.
Numbers like that should also end and speculation that B&N's going out of business any time soon. In fact, it may be that such sales increases will allow the company to invest further in e-book initiatives and innovative hybrid models of commerce.

Top 10 Best PS3 Headsets in 2019 – Complete Buyer's Guide
PS3 was an important milestone in the history of PlayStation games. It was the first platform to bring together the community of gamers with the PlayStation Network. And it set up solid base for the next-gen PS4 which has become synonymous with video games lately. As PS4 is slowly phasing out the PS3 production, it has become harder to find the best gaming headsets for PS3. But a lot of people still use PS3 and have no immediate plans of upgrading, given the amount they invested in PS3. So we did the grunt work for you and found the 10 best gaming headsets for PS3. These can easily balance compatibility, comfort, audio and budget.
Table of Contents
How to connect a gaming headset to PS3?
Connecting the best gaming headsets to PS3 is a 5-10 min long process. But if followed right, it will immediately give you a clear connection. There are a couple of options based on the plug of the headset:
Case 1: PS3 headset ending in 3.5mm headphone jack
- Plug in the red and white jacks of the A/V supply cable shipped with the PS3.
- Connect the HDMI cable into the designated port at the back of the PS3.
- Connect the other end of the A/V supply cable to an audio converter like Manhattan 6 inches Stereo Splitter-3.5mm Jack to 2-RCA Jacks Audio Adapter. Plug the headphone jack to the other end of the converter.
- Plug the other end of the HDMI cable to the TV or the monitor.
- Power on the PS3 console and go to the PS3 sound settings.
- Using the controller, select Sound Settings > 'Audio Output/ SCART/AV Multi' settings in the list.
- Go to the previous menu and select PS3 video settings.
- Choose your video connection type as HDMI
- Close the XMB and test the headphones for game and chat audio.
Case 2: PS3 headset ending in USB port
Note that with USB headset, you only get chat audio through the headset. There are roundabout ways of getting game audio but it's just not worth it.
- Get a USB-certified headset. Not all USB headsets are compatible with PS3. Headsets that can be used with PS3 should either be certified or made by SCEA.
- Connect the USB plug to the USB port in front of the PS3 console.
- Power up the PS3 Console and open Settings. From here select Accessory Settings.
- In Accessory settings, select the 7th option: Audio Device Settings.
- In this change the Input Device to your headset name. Change the Output Device to your headset name as well. Click OK and you are done.
- You can check the audio level by speaking into the microphone. You should be able to hear your own voice through the headset.
Case 3: Bluetooth PS3 headsets
Bluetooth headsets are the least messy to connect. Most of the setting is through the software. Only one Bluetooth headset can be paired with PS3 at a time. If you want to use a different Bluetooth headset, you must unpair the first.
- Full charge the wireless PS3 headset.
- Power on the PS3 console and enter Settings.
- Go to Accessory Settings > Manage Bluetooth Devices to pair the Bluetooth headset.
- If a Bluetooth headset is paired with the PS3, you will see the list of Bluetooth devices. To register a new device, select 'Register a new Device' and press X.
- If no Bluetooth headset has been paired with the PS3 ever, a message is displayed: 'The Bluetooth device has not been registered. Do you want to register?'. Select Yes and press X.
- A message flashed saying ' To register (pair), you will need to prepare the Bluetooth device. For information on preparing the device, refer to the instructions supplied with the Bluetooth device'. And a 'Start Scanning' option is shown.
- Power on the Bluetooth headset and put it in Pair mode as per its instructions.
- Now select 'Start Scanning on PS3'. If you have enabled the Pair mode on the headset correctly, it will be spotted by PS3.
- Once your headset is spotted, press the button to continue. You may be asked for a passcode. It should be something generic like '000' or '1234'. Select OK and Press X.
- A confirmation page shows that the headset has been successfully paired.
- Enter Settings on the main menu and go to Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings
- Select Input Device and pick your Bluetooth headset from the list. The Output Device should also reflect the change. You headset should be turned on and paired while doing this.
- You can check the audio level by speaking into the microphone. You should be able to hear your own voice through the headset.
Case 4: Wireless Headsets
Some wireless headset come with a USB dongle. To connect them simply
- Plug in the USB dongle into the PS3
- Power on the headset
- Put it on pairing mode
The headset is ready to function.
What are the key features of high quality headsets for PS3?
We searched high and low to find the best gaming headsets that do justice to the audio architecture of the PS3 games. We selected the top ten based on:
Compatibility: PS3 has many connecting options. They are all as complicated as the Xbox 360. So we fished out only those headsets that come with all the wires to get both chat and game audio through them.
Audio: The audio experience is what drove us towards full-size gaming headsets. They can hold large drivers which have a wider audio range and more visceral bass performance. But bass should not compromise clarity. Audio quality, both incoming and outgoing are important factors in determining the best gaming headsets for PS3.
Comfort: PS3 gaming is too guilty a pleasure to be given up in 30-60 mins. The games keep you on your toes. So the best gaming headsets for PS3 are primed for comfort over long-term wearing. This is managed by plush padding but not so much that it makes the headset heavy.
Budget: In the interest of people with a wide range of budget, we have covered headsets across a large price range. While comparing headsets of various prices, we checked their value for money, rather than their absolute value.
Features: Extra features like Dynamic Chat boost, mic monitoring, wireless connectivity, EQ modes etc. helped the best gaming headsets for PS3 make their place in this list.
Although it seems like the obvious choice, we have our own reasons for putting the Sony Wireless Stereo PS3 headset on the best gaming headsets for PS3 list. Wouldn't you want to choose a headset that is custom-made for PS3 gaming and functions seamlessly with the console? And this isn't the cheap giveaway either. Sony uses its media legacy to get the audio just right even over a wireless connection. It's interesting features, comfort and audio quality. Also check the best wireless gaming headsets.
Design and Features
The Sony Wireless PS3 headset looks dorky with its wide headband. But the design is pleasantly sleek and very comfortable. The earpads are optimal and sheathed in leather. They are plush and yet allow your ears to be nestled inside them. The headband is made of brushed metal and supports plastic earcups. Controls are divided amongst the headset in an organized way so that all similar functions are grouped together. All the buttons are placed in the sandwiched panel between the headband and the arms that hold the earcups. On the left earcup you have game chat balancing slider, master volume slider, power button and Surround sound button. Mute functionality is also easily accessed.
A telescoping mic projects from the right earcup. It has 3 detent positions but it cannot be moved vertically. There's an LED at the tip of the mic which notifies you of mic mute and remaining power. Some people find the glaring light annoying. Connecting the headset is a cakewalk. You plug in the accompanying USB dongle to the PS3. Once the PS3 headset turns on it automatically searches for the dongle. The tiny screen graphics on PS3 screen assist you in monitoring the wireless headset.
Battery lasts through 7 hours of use. It can be charged via a USB cable that plugs into the earcup.
We were convinced of Sony's efforts when we listened to the Wireless PS3 headset. At its price, this outperforms many of its peers, although it cannot match up with the expensive headsets. It has great tonal balance, a trick Sony learned from its audiophile headphones. Even without the Surround sound on, you get a good handle on the sound cues. The audio fidelity is decent though nothing ambitious for the price. The clarity of the audio was invaluable throughout the gaming sessions. The bass has a lot of punch here and it never cracks even at the top volume.
The 7.1 Surround Sound had very less to offer over the standard audio. We didn't use this mode much and saved some battery. The soundstage improves in this mode but the spatial cues seem muddied. Bluetooth connection didn't drop or create static while we played.
We expected the mic to sound weak on the listening end because of its distance from the mouth. But we were surprised by the clarity of the voice picked up the mic. It picks your voice clearly and distinguishes it from background noise. There's no mic monitoring here though, so be prepared to shout like a maniac when the game volume shoots up.
- Very easy wireless connection
- Visceral bass during gaming
- Very comfortable for long durations
- Telescopic mic
- Innovative but smart design
- Surround Sound is only decent
- No mic monitoring
Pulse Elite wireless PS3 headsets are another from Sony's arsenal built to connect seamlessly with PS3 and PS4. They draw from Sony's legacy of excellent audio quality and long-term comfort. Being from Sony, they also look stylish. The modern architecture with well-placed buttons appeals to people. But the sheer ease of connection is the main reason it landed on the best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
The Pulse Edition wireless headset walks the border of comfortable and stylish. The large circular earcups are cushily padded. They are comfortable for wearing over long hours. The headband is wide and slotted to keep the head ventilated. A bunch of controls make home on the earcups. These include the mute button, volume slider, sound profile control and Bass Impact feature. The mic is built into the earcups so for once, you don't feel obstructed by the mic boom. This does not affect the mic pickup at all.
This PS3 headset connects to the PS3 wirelessly via a small USB dongle. You plug the dongle in. And you switch on the headset and put it in the pairing mode. The dongle is automatically recognized and bam, the headset is connected. The battery meter, the sound profile selected and the mic mute button are displayed on the screen. The Pulse Elite charges via a USB cable. In case the battery dies, you can still hook up the headset via a 3.5mm jack. The process is much more complicated for PS3. There are 7 audio profiles provided including Movies, Music, Shooter and Racing.
You have the downloadable Pulse Elite Edition Manager that allows you to download new audio modes. Some audio modes are capable of altering the original title so that you can hear certain sounds better than the others.
In the audio performance of Pulse Edition wireless PS3 headset, the feature that immediately jumps out at you is the BassImpact. This feature triggers physical pulses through the headset when engaged. So it literally makes the bass visceral. The audio has the depth and breadth of cinematic sound. The soundstage is fairly large. The bass is thunderous and you can feel it too with BassImpact. The bas does not overshadow the vocals. The chat gets priority over the explosions and gunfire.
The virtual Surround sound makes the audio larger and open. But it does not hold a candle to real Surround sound. We liked the audio quality for the price. If you maintain the headset well, it will keep feeling that way.
- Very easy wireless connection
- BassImpact sends vibrations through the head
- Weighty audio
- Very comfortable for long durations
- In-built mic
- Needs to be handled carefully
The Turtle Beach Stealth 520 wireless headset connects just as easily to PS3 as the first two headsets. And it's also compatible with PS4, so you have that under the belt. Its detachable mic is a prominent feature and this makes it look less like a professional headset when mic is not in use. Stealth 520 lives up to the name and it delivers great audio for our stealthy tactics. Except for the price, it is an excellent choice for the best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
The architecture of the Stealth 520 PS3 headset is a compromise between style and comfort. The earcups are racetrack oval. The headband and the earcups are opulently padded and sheathed in comfy pleather. The earcups are large enough to be circum aural but they don't stick out from the head. The ear pieces can lean forward and grip your ears. The headband has reasonable tension. A mic is mounted on flexible boom which plugs into the right earcup of the headset. Adaptive Mic performance monitors the ambient noise and alters the mic's pick-up field for better speech recognition.
This PS3 headset connects to the PS3 using a wireless USB dongle and an optical cable. You connect the dongle to the PS3 and pair the headset with it. The optical wire runs from the audio-out on the back of the PS3 to the USB dongle. There are preset audio modes like Bass Boost and Treble Boost which you easily navigate through. Independent adjustment of game and chat volume is possible. A 3.5mm male-male cable can connect the headset to other devices. The battery lasts through 15 hours per charge. It is charges via a USB cable.
Stealth 520 PS3 headset delivers big on the audio front. Spatial cues are clear as a day which is a great help to gun down a stealthy enemy. You can hear the sounds before the subject comes into the visuals. The sound is set in a huge soundstage, that's probably why the positional audio is so good. The Surround sound also sounds open and impressive for a closed-back headset. The SuperHuman hearing option amplifies the smallest sounds of the game to help you. But make sure you use this in really quiet environment in the game or else the audio will just sound like an amplified mess.
Dynamic chat boost pumps up the chat volume when game audio is getting busy in the background. So, you can hear voices above the mayhem.
- Detachable mic
- Easy wireless connection
- Dynamic chat boost
- Can connect to other devices via 3.5mm cable
- Comfort could be better
Hailing from the same family as the famed Astro Gaming A50, the Skullcandy PLYR 1 PS3 headset is relatively less known. The PLYR 1 is affordable and wireless, so it gives you a better range of movement. The strong bass support that's characteristic of Skullcandy's usual headphones is an excellent perk in the gaming headset. The attractive design is the work of Skullcandy's usual understated yet dangerous design. It's hard to overlook so many advantages and not let it in the best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
The Skullcandy PLYR1 wireless PS3 headset is an attractive gadget. It has racetrack oval earcups. The headband is broad and it easily balances the earcups. It is padded at the cranial arch. The earcups join at a gash which would be unsightly except for SkullCandy's neat graphic. The ear pieces are very comfortable for normal-to-large ears. A mic arm flips down from the right earcup. It gets muted when it's flipped up and out of the way. A 4-way button for game-chat balance and a power button are on the right earcup. A button for choosing the mode is at the rim.
This PS3 headset comes with a sizeable transmitter which also doubles as a charging station and a storage rack. It has a USB port, a 3.5mm audio port and optical audio ports. Using Dolby Pro Logic IIx, The PLYR1 can produce virtual Surround Sound even from a stereo source like the 3.5mm port. The battery lasts through 12 hours per charge.
The equalizer modes for this PS3 headset include Bass Mode, Supreme Mode and Precision Mode. The Supreme mode balances all frequencies while the Precision Mode emphasizes the mid frequencies.
We checked the 7.1 Surround Sound feature of the PLYR1 PS3 headset first. With the limited size of headset drivers, there's not much scope for creating the 3D sound. You get good audio directionality within 180° in front of you. But if somebody's sneaks up behind you, you would be soup. The standard audio sounded meaty with well-defined bass. There's weight to the sound and a very slight volume balance which helps you ascertain the direction from which the sound is coming.
Most gaming headsets only sound good with games. Not PLYR1 though. It sounds balanced and clear with both movies and music. So we prefer it for an awful lot of TV viewing as well. Its wireless connectivity gives us plenty of movement room.
- Passable 7.1 Surround Sound
- Weighty audio, works well with music, movies too
- Long battery life at 12 hours
- Intuitive mic and controls
- Expensive
The Turtle Beach Ear Force P11 PS3 headset is one of the most popular headsets for this platform. It is quite affordable and yet it packs all relevant features. It provides extra comfort through overlarge earcups. The audio is clear and exciting for games. All the wires required to set it up for PS3 are provided. Durability could be better but it's okay for the price. What more can you ask for from one of the best gaming headsets for PS3? You may also check the best gaming headset under $100.
Design and Features
The Turtle Beach Ear Force P11 headset is a beauty in its white avatar with blue highlights. The earcups are oval and large. They will rest around normal and moderately large ears. The headband is all plastic with padding in the cranial arch. The porous material of the earpads allows your ears to breathe. The mic is attached to the left earcup. It can be flipped down whenever you want to use it. P11 is powered by its USB end.
The overall cable of this PS3 headset runs 12 feet. From the earcup to the inline control, it's approximately 3 feet. The control can be disconnected from the wire through its 3.5mm jack. This jack can plug into other devices like PS4, smartphones etc. for use with them. The inline control has independent game and chat volume wheels. Additionally a mute button is also provided. It also has a Bass boost option to pump up the low-end frequencies.
P11 PS3 headset supports mic monitoring which feeds you back your voice and keeps you from shouting.
The most promising thing about the Ear Force P11 headset is that it carries 50mm drivers even at its low price. These huge drivers can shoot some crunchy bass that will rock your gaming experience. There's a nice bulk to the sound without muddying the mids and the highs. There's no distortion in the sound even at high volumes. The audio is as immersive as amplified stereo sound gets. As an average gamer, you wouldn't need more spatial cues that what P11 can offer.
- Meaty, immersive sound
- Has mic monitoring
- Independent game and chat volume
- Lightweight yet sturdy
- Cable from the headset to the inline control needs extra care
The Turtle Beach PX22 PS3 headset is a small wonder waiting to be discovered. It has a number of useful features at a pretty affordable price. This is a wired headset but it can also be used easily with other playback devices like smartphones. The audio is crisp and vigorous. Even the Virtual Surround Sound does well here. With so much going for it, the PX22 is a no-brainer for the best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
Turtle Beach aces the design game with the PX22 PS3 headset. This is a very lightweight headset at 231g. This itself contributes to comfort. The earcups are oval. The headband is wide and supports the earcups easily. The headset keeps your ears well-ventilated. So you can keep them on for long hours without your ears done to medium-rare. The earcups provide great noise isolation and prevent sound leakage. The mic is attached to the right earcup through a flexible boom. The boom rotates in and out of the way of your mouth.
The cable of this PS3 headset runs 14 feet long. This is a modular structure though. After the first three feet, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack. This plugs into the inline control. It can be disconnected at this point to connect the jack to smartphones or other devices. After the inline control, the cable extends 10 feet to connect to the console. The inline control has a whole slew of operations. Apart from independent game and chat volume, you have the bass boost and treble boost. You also have mute button.
Most importantly, you have variable mic monitoring. With this you can control the level of your voice fed back to you. Since the use of mic monitoring may depend on the situation, it's a great advantage that it's variable. Otherwise we would either shout or live with our own annoying voice whispered to us.
The brilliant audio performance of Ear Force PX22 PS3 headset is the biggest takeaway here. A wide soundstage houses spot-on instrument placement. While this is just enjoyable in audiophile headphones, it's virtually a necessity in gaming headsets. We were able to pinpoint the direction of even the smallest sound with ease. The effective noise isolation lets you enjoy the strong bass in peace. The audio alone is visceral without any artificial shocks sent to the body. At full volumes, the bass does not distort.
You can kick up the bass or treble of this PS3 headset if you want the extra kick. Another advantage of the balanced, natural audio of PX22 is that its standard audio sounds great for music and movies. The usual gaming headsets have bass turned up to an extent that other media sound egregious. Not PX22 though.
Apart from variable mic monitoring, this headset also supports Dynamic chat boost. Chat volumes are boosted automatically when the game audio gets loud. This lets you concentrate on the chat when all hell is breaking loose.
- Variable mic monitoring
- Dynamic chat boost
- Bass and Treble boost
- Modular design of the cable
- Clean and weighty sound
- Excellent noise isolation
- Could be more sturdy
SteelSeries Siberia 840 PS3 headset is a versatile Bluetooth device. It can connect to a variety of platforms using its wireless transmitter and Bluetooth connectivity. We love how both technologies are juggled. This is a premium headset and it lives up to its price in terms of audio quality and build quality. We were highly motivated to show it to our best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
SteelSeries Siberia 840 PS3 is a gorgeous headset. It doesn't have any fancy graphics or anything. But it has these bold curves and assertive build which oozes elegance. The earcups are round and loaded with memory foam and draped in pleather. The headband has multiple padded cushions to support it on the head comfortably. The mic juts out of the right earcup through a metal boom. It has an LED at the end which glows to indicate mute status. The controls are placed on the headset for easy access.
This PS3 headset is supported by power from Lithium ion batteries. In a brilliant move the 840 ships with 2 batteries. If one runs out, you can quickly swap it out for a charged one. The batteries are charged inside the transmitter accessory. Battery lasts through 20 hours per charge. The optical wire from the transmitter connects to the PS3. With PC you have to connect the USB cable. The transmitter also hosts an OLED display which allows you to visually monitor all audio, wireless, configuration and system settings.
When you drop big bucks on the Siberia 840 PS3 headset, know that you are paying for premium sound. The audio quality is amazing. Just like the design, the bass is bold, the mids are clear and the highs are sparkling. And even with that kind of low-end thrust, the audio is balanced throughout. This is also helped by the stellar reception up to 30-40 feet. There's no drop or weakening of the connection. There's no static or crackling.
With the optical input you can engage 7.1 or 5.1 Dolby Surround sound. The audio opens up nicely in the 180° field in front of you. But like we said, true Surround Sound is not possible with headsets of this size. You need speakers.
- Ultra-clear sound with decadent bass
- Wireless and Bluetooth-enabled
- Transmitter has OLED display
- 20-hour battery life
- Spare battery is supplied
- Expensive
Turtle Beach Ear Force DP11 PS3 headset is a wired affordable gadget. Its audio performance has hit the sweet spot with many a gamer. Although plasticky, it has the distinct advantage of being lightweight. Its Surround angle options, bass and treble boost features, ready-to-go PC and PS3 connection kit, all earn it a place in the best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
The Ear Force DP11 PS3 headset is a cool-looking accessory done in black and red. The earcups are oval and mounted with lush, ventilated padding. The headband is only moderately broad with cushioning along the arch. It has a long rotating, flexible mic boom with the mic mounted at its end.
Digital Optical Connection is the best way to connect this PS3 headset to PS3. All wires to connect to PS3, PC and Mac are shipped with the box. A mini audio enhancer(DSS2) is part of the box. It carries the speaker angle positioning, Surround sound, master volume, Equalizer and power switch. It has independent controls for game and chat volumes. The headset is equipped with mic monitoring which helps you keep your voice level while the game gets loud. A bass boost option helps you perk up the lower frequencies and make audio rumble your head.
The audio performance of Ear Force DP11 PS3 headset is what ultimately secured it a place. The sizzling play of bass and the enhanced spatial cues impressed us for the price. We were able to spot the enemy directionally and make successful pre-emptive strikes. Footsteps and other sounds are amplified so that you can hear all important audio clearly. The DSS2 accessory specializes in highlighting the relevant noises.
The choice of speaker angles helps you select the perceived angle from which the audio is played for you.
- Excellent audio for price
- DSS2 accessory amplifies small noises
- Select speaker angle
- Mic monitoring
- Affordable
- Fragile plasticky feel
The Sades Pro SA928 Pro headset is one of the most comfortable headsets we have come across till now. The suspended headband is a clever addition which relieves any pressure on the usual stress points. The audio is largely stereo in spite of the misleading claims of the product page. But the sound has the power of bass behind it. We raced it straight to the best gaming headsets for PS3 list.
Design and Features
The SA 928 PS3 headset from Sades is designed to be highly shock-proof. The headband is a self-adjusting suspension design with a pliant band and 2 cables. The band expands to fit your head and is limited by the cables. You can twist the headband every which way and it will take it in a stride. The earcups are round and mounted with soft cushions. A retracting mic projects from the right earcup. There's an LED at the tip of the boom which indicates mute status.
This PS3 headset is wired with double reinforcement in the areas of cable joints. The rubber-coated cables are tangle-resistant. It has a USB jack at the end which helps you connect to most devices easily.
The highlight of the Sades Pro SA928 PS3 headset is the bass. The stereo sound is replete with the power of bass. If you are a basshead who wants the full sonic impact of the effects in the game, this will not disappoint you. Of special mention is the mic quality on this headset. There were overwhelmingly positive reviews from users about how well the mic picks up your voice and relays it to the playmates. The communication remains crystal clear.
- Suspension-type headband is easier on head
- Comfortable
- Exceptional mic quality
- Mute indicator at the mic tip
- Expensive for the value
Haters gonna hate. But there's no denying the merits of the PlayStation Gold wireless PS3 headset. Maybe its cliché to get a PlayStation headset for PlayStation, but the Gold has many perks. It is one of the most versatile wireless headsets that work with various platforms pretty easily. Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound with clarity and bass are hard to pack at this price. So make no mistake when we say that PlayStation Gold bangs big for the bucks. We also have a list of the best headsets for Xbox 360.
Design and Features
PlayStation Gold PS3 headset is done in simple colors with bold curves. The construction is all plastic and sleek. So we suggest you use them carefully, they have the potential to snap. The wide headband runs from ear-to-ear and has two earcups mounted on it. The earpads are round and cushy. They are sheathed in faux leather. Most importantly, the arms of the headband fold and reduced the headset into a portable package. The earcups have average noise isolation so we wouldn't use them in a noisy environment. They also leak sound beyond moderate volume.
The microphone of this PS3 headset is built into the set so there's no annoying boom jutting out of it. It connects to PS3 via a USB dongle. It's a plug-and-play kind of a setup. The USB dongle is also recognized by PC and Mac. The Gold has a 3.5mm port which allows it to be connected to PS4 via a 3.5mm male-male cable. All the essential buttons are situated on the earcups. The battery averages 7 hours of life per charge. A USB cable is provided for charging it.
The Gold headset also utilizes the Headset Companion App which allows you to download custom sound profiles including Destiny, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted 4: A Thief's end etc.. Another quirky feature is the swappable faceplate behind each earcup. You can customize the headset but the custom faceplates will cost extra.
The audio performance of PlayStation Gold PS3 headset is decent for the price. It's not going to be exceptional, especially not at this price. But it doesn't sound crass or distorted. In standard mode, the audio is balanced with no emphasis on bass. It sounds smooth, though not much detailed or textured. Engaging the 7.1 Surround Sound adds more layers to the sound. It's refreshing to see that the 7.1 setup actually makes a difference to the audio.
The mic reception is decent. The folks on the other end can hear your voice clearly.
- Wireless with USB dongle
- Foldable arms
- 1 Surround Sound makes a difference
- Works with PC, Mac and PS4
- Fragile, needs to be maintained

These are the ladies I hung out with 18 years ago.
I can't believe it's been that long.
Or how young I looked!
We all worked in the computer department at Sears Canada.
Back Row (L-R): Me, JJ
Front Row (L-R): DD, GG
Here we are at a Mercedes bar/club for DD's surprise birthday party. I'm thinking she had not yet arrived, considering she's not in the photo...
Thanks to the magic of Facebook, I'm back in touch with DD. One of my first, most vivid memories of DD was when she came into my office to inform me she was pregnant. She was going around letting the whole team know so we wouldn't think she was just getting fat. How can you not immediately love someone for that kind of honesty and humor!

Vipshop Acquires Controlling Interest in Lefeng
Feb 14, 2014, 08:00 ET
GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Vipshop Holdings Limited (NYSE: VIPS) ("Vipshop" or the "Company"), China's leading online discount retailer for brands, announced today that it has acquired a 75% equity interest in Lefeng.com Limited ("Lefeng") from Ovation Entertainment Limited ("Ovation"). Lefeng owns and operates the online retail business conducted through lefeng.com, an online retail website specialized in selling cosmetics and fashion products in China. Immediately after the acquisition, the Company and Ovation hold 75% and 25%, respectively, of Lefeng. The total consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition is approximately US$132,500,000, including cash payment and financing in connection with assumed liabilities.
In connection with the acquisition, Vipshop entered into a framework supply agreement with the PRC affiliates of Lefeng and Ovation. Pursuant to the agreement, Ovation will supply cosmetics, apparel and other consumer products developed under Ovation's proprietary brands to Vipshop for retail through vip.com and lefeng.com while Vipshop undertakes to achieve at least RMB900 million of sales of Ovation products in 2014 and has a right to receive progressive commissions based on the sales volume.
"The acquisition of Lefeng supports our goals of diversifying our product offerings, expanding our customer reach and further enhancing our customers' experience," said Mr. Eric Shen, chairman and chief executive officer of Vipshop. "With this addition to the Vipshop platform, we will be able to immediately augment our cosmetics offering, further expanding upon our leadership in China's discount retail market. We're very excited to work with Jing Li and the Lefeng team and look forward to our strong future together."

In this acquisition, both parties stand to benefit substantially from the economies of scale inherent in combining our cosmetic product lines and customer service expertise with Vipshop's customer reach and strong operational capabilities. We are confident in our ability to address the growing and diversified user demands for quality branded fashion products and believe this relationship will allow us to leverage each other's core strengths."

Hidden down in a convention hall of a nondescript hotel off the highway north of Denver was a record lover's paradise this weekend: the Denver Record Collectors Spring Expo.
At the convention hall all day Sunday were dozens of vendors, each selling thousands of records, CDs and more. This wasn't just a place to stop by and grab another copy of Sgt. Peppers you lost in that last move -- there were 45s from the 1950s, a sealed Lenny Bruce record, the Ben Hur soundtrack on CD, a VHS copy of High Fidelity next to an old book on the Clash, racks of Paul McCartney and Velvet Underground shirts, posters from Modest Mouse's last show in Broomfield, and more from enthusiastic vendors ready to sell to equally enthusiastic buyers.
Some vendors were representatives of brick-and-mortar stores around the area, others, like Cathy Howell, have been doing this solo for the past 25 years.
"There's been a huge crowd today," Howell says. "They were lined up before the doors even opened."
With a spring storm pounding Denver, attendance might have dipped. But just an hour before the Expo was supposed to wrap up, the hall was so packed that it was hard to navigate the aisles or linger near a box of records without being in someone's way.
It's been real fun," Howell says between questions from potential buyers. "And really busy." Howell, after closing her own record store in the mid-90s, decided to become a record hunter, which one of the coolest sounding job titles ever. She goes around to expos like the ones she's selling at, as well as many many record stores searching for the great and obscure. What she was selling this weekend was a mix of her very large personal collection as well as finds she has procured since the fall expo. She, like the other vendors, was certainly doing well, with a large crowd constantly browsing and inquiring about different records.
Wandering through the hall, hearing old people argue about whether Jefferson Airplane was "edgy" while old concert footage of Metallica played above them and they sold last 70s jazz LPs, it was clear this is the kind of place where music's past comes alive. Whether or not you collect records, getting to be physically in touch with so much music you love is any music nerd's heaven. And there wasn't anyone there Sunday who wasn't smiling.

From the archive: Blog Written With A Terrible Cold/
I've got a terrible cold. Having come out the other side of the sore throat>sneezing>coughing thing, I spent a wonderful day in the woods, writing words with autumn leaves. The day after that, the sore throat returned and now, well, round I go again.
Meanwhile, I'm extending my ideas on re-wilding: our self, and our words. As my cold is so central to my world at the moment, perhaps it's no surprise that that has crept in to my writing. To get a flavour of the writing, and to understand the human cold a little better, here's an extract.
'…If fear was the real problem, then all those things that I'd been told were wrong with my writing must surely just be symptoms of that deeper issue. To use a metaphor, they were the sneeze and the cough, but they weren't the cold virus itself. With a cold, the sneeze and the cough are your body's efforts to get rid of the virus. They are symptoms, but they are also strategies, an action plan that your body embarks on when threatened. Perhaps my caged writing was the same. The restriction, the words that didn't work, might be my body and mind's strategy for avoiding what it feared. The strategies had been put into operation unconsciously. But that wasn't so surprising. Only 7% of what happens is conscious, the remaining 93% is unconscious. If the issues on the page were strategies, then surely they were keeping me safe. They were a cage that although it restricted me, also protected me. Given that vital role, it was no wonder they were hard to address…'

Hardly any projects are as fulfilling as home improvement projects. Your home is your castle and putting your time and efforts into it can seem to be great. However, it may be challenging to know where to begin. The following advice will assist you to help make your home look good.

To maintain electric costs down while illuminating your yard, change out your regular porch light first that includes a motion sensor. These types of lights might be manually switched on as well as the sensitivity may also be adjusted.

It's not Wednesday. And I skipped last week. We just got back from a lovely cross-country road trip vacation with my toddler. It was wonderful– but totally exhausting. And I took the week off all non essential responsibilities– including tracking.
Consequently, I have some work to do this week. But I'm choosing to focus on forward motion rather than dwelling on regret.
I feel like I've been playing diet games over the last couple weeks (tracking/not tracking, bingeing and then over-exercising to compensate for the bingeing)– so I think taking a week decidedly off tracking and just eating what I wanted (and consequently, seeing the scale go up) was actually really good for me. Sort of reminding myself that "Oh.. you actually feel like total crap when you put junky food into your system. And even though it tastes good, it's usually not as good as you think it's going to be. And not really worth days of feeling yucky and tired."
The Numbers: Up 3.8 lbs. Ugh, right? But still, after eating whatever I wanted on vacation (including ice cream cake, lots of salty crunchy things, and even candy)– I expected it to be worse. I also did lots of swimming and walking all around the farm, so I guess things even out.
Non-Scale Victories: I bought a swim suit this week and I love it. Not only do I love it, I actually love the way it looks on me. And it's a one piece— which is not something I would have ever thought I could like myself in.
This Week's Goals: Eat with mindfulness and purpose. Track everything, no matter what it is.

1 dead after fire in vacant Tacoma commercial structure
A man was killed Tuesday night when fire destroyed a vacant building near 19th Street and Tacoma Avenue, said Tacoma Fire spokesman Joe Meinecke.
Firefighters responded at about 10 p.m. Tuesday and found "heavy pressurized smoke and flames coming from the structure," Meinecke said. The commercial structure sustained significant damage and when firefighters searched the scene they found the body of a man in his 40s.
Firefighters tried to revive the man, but he was declared dead at the scene, Meinecke said. Crews are investigating the scene to determine the cause of the fire.
Some media outlets are reporting that the structure was used as a homeless encampment.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Chris Stirewalt – CALIFORNIA CHAOS and Ted Cruz – Carly Fiorina
FOX News First: April 29
By Chris Stirewalt
Buzz Cuts:
· California chaos
· Kasich kaput
· Power Play: Hillary can now pivot, but how?
· 'Clinton Cash,' the movie
· Waiting on an, ahem, cat-a-logue?
It had been so long since there were violent riots at a campaign event that we almost forgot it was 2016.
But California came through in a big way on Thursday with bloodshed, smashed police car windows and mass arrests outside a Donald Trump rally in Costa Mesa. But don't expect that to do anything to dampen enthusiasm for Trump in the Golden State.
Quite the contrary.
For what's left of California's Republican Party, Trump is a fantastic fit: A celebrity of the Schwarzenegger scale but with the kind of hardline talk on illegal immigration that has broad appeal in a state where residents have borne the worst of the problem over the past 40 years.
The riots and rage on the other side should only serve to conform to the state's beleaguered Republicans that they are on the right track. And if Trump is still plowing the primary calendar when he arrives there, there's plenty of reason to think that he can lock up the nomination in California on June 7.
But with 159 of 172 delegates apportioned among 53 congressional districts in a closed primary, it gets tricky. There are plenty of places in coastal California where Republicans are all-but invisible. How will their scant numbers be voting?
Consider California's 13th Congressional District, which includes Oakland and Berkeley. Mitt Romney took just 9 percent of the voter there four years ago. And there are 17 districts in the state where Romney got less than 30 percent of the vote
That's why Trump and remaining rival, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, along with his prospective running mate Carly Fiorina, will all be at the state Republican Party's convention, which starts today.
Trump wants to slam the door shut there next month. And while winning Tuesday in Indiana could make his task much easier, everyone knows that California is the key. Cruz, on the other hand, needs to look beyond must-win Indiana. He has been cultivating California for longer than any other candidate and hopes to hold his own when the delegates are awarded.
Likely, the violence and uproar will help Trump. His supporters want revolution in a state where many voters in the state's white minority believe they have been badly mistreated and taken advantage of for decades.
The outrage Trump sparks on the other side is likely seen as evidence that he is just the disruptor they've been looking for.
Fox News Sunday: Double header! – Both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz sit down for separate interviews with Mr. Sunday. "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace" airs at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET on the Fox News Channel. Check local listings for broadcast times in your area.
[Pew Research Center found Republican levels of favorability dropping to its lowest levels since 1992.]
Indiana ad wars – In a new ad in Indiana, Trump slams Cruz for supporting trade bills that sent American jobs overseas arguing that Trump is the only one who will stand up to China and Mexico. Cruz, however, was out with an ad of his own in the Hoosier State, featuring running mate Carly Fiorina, who says only Cruz is a defender of the Constitution. A pro-Cruz PAC also announced they plan to increase ad spending in the state by $350,000 in addition to the $1.6 million ad buy they already have.
[Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is reportedly making a "major announcement" today at noon ET – one Team Cruz certainly must hope involves a primary endorsement.]
Cruz responds to Boehner – Ted Cruz responded to attacks from former House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday's "The Kelly File" saying that he, "I don't know John Boehner. He and I have never worked together." Watch here.
Cruz poised of Old Dominion domination this weekend – Politico reports that Republican Party of Virginia insiders expect Ted Cruz's supporters to dominate at Saturday's state party convention.
Kasich kaput – In his deal with Ted Cruz to stand clear of Tuesday's Indiana primary, Ohio Gov. John Kasich laid claim to both New Mexico and Oregon. According to a new poll, it looks like Kasich has bigger problems than Cruz in the Beaver State. He clocked in with only 17 percent of the vote, 9 points behind Cruz, and 26 points behind Donald Trump.
[GOP delegate count: Trump 994; Cruz 566; Kasich 153 (1,237 needed to win)]
Paris Review: "One of the many treasures preserved in the British Library's audio archive is this vintage lesson in 'English Conversation.' As a document of instruction, it's interesting enough. But it also bears the distinction of being an early recording of J. R. R. Tolkien. Of course, Tolkien would go on to international fame and fortune for his fiction, all of which was informed by his fascination with language and history. But in 1929, he was known as a respected professor and lecturer, making a little extra money as a contributor to the Linguaphone Conversational Course, a series issued on seventy-eights by the Linguaphone Institute of London. On these recordings, the thirty-eight-year-old Tolkien … not only provides introductions, but plays one of the "roles" in the sample conversations. Now, the "wireless" might not exactly provide a scintillating sample conversation … but as played digitally, in 2016, it's a source of both postmodern and historical interest."

Real Clear Politics Averages
National GOP nomination: Trump 43 percent; Cruz 30 percent; Kasich 21 percent
National Dem nomination: Clinton 49.5 percent; Sanders 45.8 percent
General Election: Clinton vs. Trump: Clinton +8.5 points
Generic Congressional Vote: Democrats +2.3
The Democratic race is over. Yes, Bernie Sanders pledges that he will continue to run until the last contest on June 14, but… c'mon. This is good news for presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton who can now focus on the general election. While Clinton can be happy that the GOP process has been such a mess and Democrats are confident about her chances against presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, there are still worries. How can she most affectively make her case to voters? MoveOn.org 2016 spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre and GOP strategist Mercedes Schlapp look at Clinton's strategies and assess her chances. WATCH HERE.
[Schlapp and Jean-Pierre also broke down the GOP side of things with a look ahead to Indiana. WATCH HERE.]
Scramble – WSJ's Peggy Noonan writing on the Peroist appeal of Trump in the general election: "He positioned himself to Hillary Clinton's left on foreign policy—she is hawkish, too eager for assertions of U.S. military power, and has bad judgment. This will be the first time in modern history a Republican presidential candidate is to the left of the Democrat, and that will make things interesting. It reminded me of how Mr. Trump, in his insistence that he will not cut or add new limits to entitlement spending, could get to Mrs. Clinton's left on that key domestic question, too."
Hillary lets supporters buy Trump's 'woman card' – TPM: "The Hillary Clinton campaign wasn't going to let an opportunity to fundraise off of Donald Trump's latest jab at her just pass it by. Supporters of the former secretary of state's campaign received an email offering them a literal 'woman card,' a reference to Trump's comments Tuesday…'Chip in and we'll send you your very own Official Hillary Clinton for America Woman Card,' the email said."
'Clinton Cash,' the movie- The book that told stories of questionable money ties and corruption by the Clinton family, "Clinton Cash," has been turned into a film that will be featured at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The U.S. premiere is set to take place on July 24, the eve of the Democratic National Convention, in Philadelphia, but the trailer is already out for your viewing.
Ummm… – Sun Sentinel: "Bob Sutton, chairman of the Broward County Republican Party, used a startling metaphor to explain his view that Donald Trump would perform better than Hillary Clinton in a presidential debate. 'I think when Donald Trump debates Hillary Clinton she's going to go down like Monica Lewinsky,' he said in a quote attributed to him by The Washington Post."
Why Bernie can't come back – FiveThirtyEight goes back in Democratic primary history to explain why, barring a catastrophic and unforeseen act, Bernie Sanders cannot be the nominee: "…[A]fter the mad scramble for the first 10 percent of delegates, no candidate ever crosses over the 50 percent line. That is, the king stays the king…The reason for this is pretty simple: Proportional allocation of delegates makes comebacks really, really hard. You can't just notch wins in a string of states, as Sanders did in late March and early April. You have to start consistently trouncing your opponent by large margins in every contest. You need, well, a political revolution."
[Heh – The Washington Free Beacon wants MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to know they got the message.]
#mediabuzz – Host Howard Kurtz breaks down the week's media coverage. Watch Sunday at 11 a.m. ET, with a second airing at 5 p.m.
[Dem delegate count: Clinton 2165; Sanders 1357 (2,383 needed to win)]
Bully! – Fox News Contributor Pete Hegseth is out with his first book, In the Arena, on strengthening American leadership in the 21st century. The book is out May 3, but you can catch Hegseth at the Heritage Foundation in Washington on May 2 at noon, or in New York on May 3 at the Republican Jewish Coalition at noon.
The Guardian: "A couple have been told to restrain their cat or face having their mail deliveries suspended. Matthew Sampson said he was notified by the Royal Mail last week of a 'potential hazard' at his home in Patchway [England]…which was affecting deliveries. According to a letter sent to Sampson by the Royal Mail, four-year-old Bella was a 'threat' to staff. In the letter, the Royal Mail said it had been experiencing difficulties in delivering mail to Sampson's home 'because of the actions of a cat.' The postman had reported that when he pushed mail through the letterbox, a black and white cat 'snatches the mail and puts his fingers at risk of injury'…The couple have been advised to 'restrain their cat at all times' or provide an alternative 'safe' post box, or deliveries would be suspended."
"[Ted Cruz's] appeal has never been personal. It's always been ideological. I'm a conservative and now he says Trump is not. So that's what it all hinges on." — Charles Krauthammer on "Special Report with Bret Baier"

These beautiful Ngwenya Glass Evergreen shot glasses were made in the Fair Trade Ngwenya Glass factory in Swaziland.
The shot glass is from the Ngwenya Glass Evergreen range. The Evergreen range is so called as they use glass from recycled green bottles! These glasses are available in three sizes, large, medium and small. We sell them individually or as a box set of two, perfect for a gift for a friend or loved one!
As each Ngwenya Glass Evergreen shot glass is individually mouth blown there will be some variation in colour, height and thickness.
The Ngwenya Glass Evergreen shot glasses are 100% recycled glass, made from bottles collected by the people of Swaziland. Ngwenya Glass works with the local schools to instil in the children a sense of environmental awareness.
In 1989 Ngwenya Glass launched the Kingdom of Swaziland's most successful wildlife conservation fund, known as the Ngwenya Rhino & Elephant Fund. A percentage of all Ngwenya Glass sales goes to the fund that runs a refuge for endangered species in the Swaziland lowveld, saving these rare and endangered animals from the brink of extinction.
The full and inspiring Ngwenya Glass story can be found in our About section.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have

After the Holocaust, the few survivors immigrated to the US and Israel and today only around 120 Jews live in Sighet. In this video, we present a comparison between the old and present day Sighet.

There's a line at the beginning of the movie, ShopGirl, that perfectly articulates how I feel about my life right now – all my chances, possibilities, and work – are all just pending, hanging around, increasing my appetite with possibilities. There are so many maybes, almosts, not quites. But in the end – still no dice.
Or maybe it's a reflection of the uncertainty I feel inside. If I'm not clear on my intentions or what I want, then my life will manifest itself that way. I understand the logic that in order for something to happen, there needs to be space for it. So until that space is clear, nothing can take its place. But is it a crime to be cautious?
It's also interesting how I feel like I resemble an aspect of each character: Mirabelle with her naivety and search for tenderness, Ray, with his belief that only wanting a part of someone will lessen the pain of when they leave, and finally, Jeremy, in his awkward yet endearing attempts to find his way to love another.
I feel like I'm frantically trying to solve a rubix cube – that if somehow all the colours are the same it will mean something. When really, it's the same square, the same colour box, placed somewhere else.
"…but the pile of near misses is starting to overwhelm me."

jQuery accordion menu is common among websites that adopt vertical navigation. This takes the form of drop-down menus with attractive and smooth animation or transition. Basically, accordions in navigation save a great amount of real estate in a website as it can be expanded or compressed just like a musical accordion. For big websites, the use of jQuery accordion menu allows them to show the links to their pages and contents in a professional and attractive way. To help you a little, we are
