Last night I finally got to see one of my favorite people on this planet.
We don't get to see eachother as much as we'd like. And by as much "as we'd like"… I mean, maybe once a month. Because we are so busy and live pretty far from eachother. But I swear. This is the only girl I will cook crepes for, eat frozen yogurt for breakfast with, allow insults from without being insulted, and greet with the ugliest face possible.
Who has the privilege to call or text me at any and all hours of the day even if it is 3am. Who agrees with me and if not agrees to disagree with me. Who has seen me at my worst and at my absolute best for 13 years. She gets a key to my house by default. I love you, you short shit!

God gives people hope, future
Your Feb. 26 article, "HIV/AIDS activist finds voice on a bigger stage," was informative, but I have reservations about it. I believe the Bible is God's manual for living. It seems our nation has forgotten what it means to believe in God - to have a reverence for and fear of God.
It's wonderful that Stephanie Brown is speaking out for testing for HIV/AIDS, but I think she should give God credit for the ability to speak on this issue.
Christopher Yuan, a former homosexual with the HIV virus, quotes Jeremiah 29:11, which says "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope." In spite of his previous lifestyle, he knows God has given him a future and hope.
The words of Ms. Brown, "If it wasn't for HIV, I have no clue what I would be doing right now ..." are indicative of a nation with no thought for God, or what he can do for us.
God didn't give her AIDS; her lifestyle did. God will give her a future and a hope, if she will trust him. For that, I pray. The Bible tells us in Matthew 10:28 whom to fear: "... and do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul, but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

This game was formerly called True Crime: Tokyo till Activision cancelled the project. Square Enix made a deal to publish the game under a different/new IP banner name now called Sleeping Dogs.
Great trailer but some gameplay would have been nice.
Anyway at least some melons:
...Eurogamer.Sleeping Dogs Preview: A True Open World Contender?
By Johnny Minkley
Wouldn't let it lie.
"Even our most optimistic internal projections show that continued investment was not going to lead to a title at, or near, the top of the competitive open world genre.
"In an industry where only the best games in each category are flourishing, to be blunt, it just wasn't going to be good enough."
Ouch. Activision CEO Eric Hirschberg didn't pull any punches when explaining the reason the publisher pulled the plug on True Crime: Hong Kong last February.
Games get canned all the time, of course, often before their existence is even shared with the world. To come so far and to be dismissed so brutally, then, must have come as a particular savage blow to United Front Games after its years of toil on a dream project.
Games are cancelled, studios close, jobs are lost. We read the headlines all too frequently and our hearts sink even as our heads, reluctantly, understand. While Activision is all-too-easily cast as the villain of this little piece, few expected a hero to emerge and save the day.
And yet that's exactly what Square-Enix did, reviving the project's still-warm corpse a few months later, breathing new life into an ailing, demoralised team that could, to its amazement, have a second crack at realising its vision.
"It's hard for me to say why they dropped it, but I can tell you why we signed it," says Lee Singleton, who heads up Square's London studio, which is overseeing development of the game now called Sleeping Dogs (as Square didn't pick up the rights to the name).
"We've got a lot of experience of making open world games, so we know the development pattern for games like that is a little bit different to the traditional model in that you go quite a long time before you see the true value of everything. It all comes together very late in the process.
"When we looked at the game, it was just starting to come together. Perhaps they couldn't see when it had come together, I don't know. What we saw we really liked, and we could see the potential."
You'd forgive the developer for a concentrated dose of bitterness towards its former publisher, but it really does seem a genuine case of "no hard feelings" and "that's business".
"You put so much hard work, effort and time into something and to see it all stop, it's very difficult to deal with," admits Stephen Van Der Mescht, exec producer at United Front Games.
"Strategically, they wanted something they believed could be right at the top of the open world genre and we knew we needed to take a little bit more time to get there."
Singleton is more blunt about the state of the game when he picked it up: "If we were to squint, we could kind of see what was coming and it was about working together to polish and iterate - and giving the guys the time they need to do that."
If a major publisher's act of faith hasn't warmed your cockles enough, consider this: "Even people we had to let go at the time the project was cancelled, probably 90 per cent we asked to come back and they came back," reveals Van Der Mescht.
"They were willing to leave other jobs to come back and finish this project. That's how much it meant to them." Truly, a United Front.
Sleeping Dogs' greatest asset is its setting. Hong Kong is a place where east meets west with a bump, since Britain handed the region over to China in 1997. The city soars upwards, many of its residents crammed into the world's tallest residential buildings, while its grandest architectural monuments pulsate in neon after dark along the mesmerising harbour.
Sleeping Dogs is a crime story inspired by the cinema of the region. It's a classic undercover cop story, in which detective Wei Shen infiltrates the Triads, with the unfolding drama focused on what is the true cost of maintaining this cover.
As a game, it is unmistakably and heavily indebted to Grand Theft Auto in structure: an open-world adventure with a main narrative thread, multiple side missions and sideshows, vehicles to hijack, pedestrians to bother, criminals to bludgeon.
The influence is profound, from rising in your own apartment, and switching clothes in a wardrobe, to retrieving a favourite vehicle from the garage down below and setting off into the city.
Excitingly fresh setting aside, United Front and Square highlight the mechanics as a key differentiator, in particular its Batman Arkham Asylum-esque melee combat. In gang fights, blows can be strung together into smooth combos, with symbols appearing above the heads of enemies about to strike, who (in a nod to Batman) can then be countered to maintain the assault.
By far the most enjoyable aspect of combat is environment kills. Grab an enemy during a squabble and look for something glowing red. Drag them over to that and you can carry out one of many uniquely gruesome, fabulously satisfying takedowns.
Those I experience myself include: forcing a baddie's head onto a hotplate, which then catches fire; slamming a security shutter down into someone's face; forcing a head into an industrial fan; shoving another into a phone booth, then smashing the receiver repeatedly into their skull; shutting fridge doors onto faces; stuffing heads down toilets. You get the idea.
As gloriously gratuitous as these are, they could get old very quickly on endless repeat - but United Front insists there are "dozens and dozens" to exploit throughout the game.
The studio wants it key missions to play out like mini-action movies in themselves, seamlessly blending various gameplay types. An example involves tracking down a small time criminal called Johnny Ratface.
First using a mobile to contact him using a false identity, the device simultaneously triangulates his position by scanning and tracing the signal.
A journey to the docks ensues, with an outdoor fistfight (environmental kills include chucking someone into the sea and crunching another's head in a car bonnet), segueing into a cover-and-shoot gun battle inside a warehouse.
Shen has a neat manouevre activated by running at an obstacle to slide over it. The action switches to bullet time, with heads exploding theatrically left and right with the help of a good aim. And if triggers aren't your thing, there's always the trusty old machete. Squelch.
From here, Shen jumps on a bike in pursuit of Ratface's escaping car, blasting enemy-filled vehicles from his path, which burst into flames and pirouette absurdly through the air. Get close enough and it's time for an Action Hijack, where Shen leaps inside the target car to seize control as the missions builds to its gory conclusion.
Beyond the main narrative, United Front promises a wealth of additional content. Triad Wars side-missions, Hangouts to conquer, smart car racing, cockfighting and even karaoke. What it lacks in originality, therefore, the developer hopes to make up for through generosity.
Getting hands-on with the game in Hong Kong, the assembled press are warned that it's an alpha build, and that there will be glitches. And indeed there are. There's a notable lack of smoothness to the busier action sequences, where the framerate frequently plunges, while pop-in is very apparent at speed in a vehicle.
Police have curiously been switched off for the demo, so I spend many a happy minute attacking pedestrians at random with little comeback. NPCs are nicely animated, with an almost surreal quality to passers-by that makes them stand out against the urban sprawl.
During proper fights, the AI is set to "dumb" and clearly needs turning up a few notches to add an element of peril and purpose to the proceedings.
Balance, balance, balance. Widening a road here, reducing the pedestrian density there - these are the things open world developers lose sleep over, the smallest changes with the biggest impact, good and bad.
We're also told during one of the playable missions not to explore the open-world at all and stick closely to the mission structure.
All of which suggests there's still a lot of work to be done to smooth out the rough edges. But, as Square would probably point out, of all the genres in gaming, open-world is always the last to come together.
Having salvaged the project from the scrapheap, Square is hardly going to kick the game out of the door unfinished. But with a release pencilled in for the second half of 2012, there's clearly plenty to keep the studio busy.
And that's without the added distraction of a certain Grand Theft Auto 5, which may well end up launching before Christmas, eclipsing everything else in sight.
"Obviously we don't want to ship against those guys," says Singleton. "We'd like distance between the two, but I think there's room in the market for both of them. There's not tonnes and tonnes of open world games."
Sleeping Dogs has become an uplifting story of triumph over adversity and the gift of a second chance. The pressure is now on United Front Games to show us it has a happy ending, too.
Sleeping Dogs video preview
Looks good enough some bits even fantastic like interactivity in environment and blood spills in fist fights. And I love my adventure games so I'll probably get it.

Im interested but that preview from Eurogamer that KRA posted doesnt fill me with much confidence. The game has already been delayed so many times and it sounds like its really still very unfinished considering its small preview code with a release date not too far away.
Story trailer
Its looking really good. There are more gameplay vids on IGN today.
This is definitely on my radar. I'll tell you that much.

Don't most trailers make stuff look better than it is? (mostly true for movies, esp. comedies, though)
But true, this does like quite good.
Kept you waiting
I am expecting all those modules shown will be average/good and it will come together in a rough around the edges package. But, I still want it.
Early reviews, take them how you want

A record number of veterans are heading back to school. One incentive has been the Post 9/11 GI Bill. It enhanced education benefits, starting in 2009. They now cover undergraduate tuition and provide veterans with a monthly living allowance and book stipend. To be eligible, a vet must have served on active duty after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and not exhausted prior GI benefits.No matter what federal or state aid former soldiers have received however, WUWM's Erin Toner learned that some have found the transition to school difficult and even costly. Local schools are intervening.
About 30 million Americans have "below basic" prose literacy skills. That's according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy from the National Center for Education Statistics. People in this category might struggle to read the Harry Potter series in English, let alone get advanced job training. Meanwhile, some Wisconsin employers say they can't fill job openings because applicants lack the necessary abilities.
On Monday, Gov. Walker released a proposed expansion of the Wisconsin Choice or voucher program, and his plan includes the creation of a school voucher program for students with special needs. A group called Stop Special Needs Vouchers Wisconsin announced Monday that it will to fight the proposal. As WUWM's LaToya Dennis reports, there are strong opinions on both sides, just as there have been with the state's flagship voucher or choice program.
A new report says Milwaukee's taxpayer-funded voucher school students are similar in exam outcomes and demographic make-up compared with their public school counterparts.
The Milwaukee-based nonpartisan Public Policy Forum's data compares the state's districts with the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program as a whole.
Wisconsinites would like to see the state spend money from its projected budget surplus on education and Medicaid, according to the results of a new poll released today.
The Wisconsin Economic Scorecard poll, conducted by UWM's Center for Urban Initiatives and Research, asked 621 residents across the state how they would prioritize spending. Forty percent of respondents said education should be the top priority, while thirty-three percent said additional Medicaid funding should be the most important. An additional sixteen percent said income tax cuts should be at the top of the list, while ten percent thought it was most important to cover shortfalls in the transportation fund.

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: who really needs an MM type phono cartridge?, well I will try to share/explain with you what are my experiences about and I hope too that many of you could enrich the topic/subject with your own experiences.
For some years ( in this forum ) and time to time I posted that the MM type cartridge quality sound is better than we know or that we think and like four months ago I start a thread about:
#Rauliruegas where we analyse some MM type cartridges.
Well, in the last 10-12 months I buy something like 30+ different MM type phono cartridges ( you can read in my virtual system which ones. ) and Im still doing it. The purpose of this fact ( buy it ) is for one way to confirm or not if really those MM type cartridges are good for us ( music lovers ) and at the same time learn about MM vs MC cartridges, as a fact I learn many things other than MM/MC cartridge subject.
If we take a look to the Agon analog members at least 90% of them use ( only ) MC phono cartridges, if we take a look to the professional reviewers ( TAS, Stereophile, Positive Feedback, Enjoy the Music, etc, etc, ) 95% ( at least ) of them use only MC cartridges ( well I know that for example: REG and NG of TAS and RJR of Stereophile use only MM type cartridges!!!!!!!! ) , if we take a look to the phono cartridge manufacturers more than 90% of them build/design for MC cartridges and if you speak with audio dealers almost all will tell you that the MC cartridges is the way to go.
So, who are wrong/right, the few ( like me ) that speak that the MM type is a very good alternative or the whole cartridge industry that think and support the MC cartridge only valid alternative?
IMHO I think that both groups are not totally wrong/right and that the subject is not who is wrong/right but that the subject is : KNOW-HOW or NON KNOW-HOW about.
Many years ago when I was introduced to the high end the cartridges were almost MM type ones: Shure, Stanton, Pickering, Empire, etc, etc. In those time I remember that one dealer told me that if I really want to be nearest to the music I have to buy the Empire 4000 D ( they say for 4-channel reproduction as well. ) and this was truly my first encounter with a high end cartridge , I buy the 4000D I for 70.00 dls ( I cant pay 150.00 for the D III. ), btw the specs of these Empire cartridges were impressive even today, look: frequency response: 5-50,000Hz, channel separation: 35db, tracking force range: 0.25grs to 1.25grs!!!!!!!!, just impressive, but there are some cartridges which frequency response goes to 100,000Hz!!!!!!!!!!
I start to learn about and I follow to buying other MM type cartridges ( in those times I never imagine nothing about MC cartridges: I dont imagine of its existence!!!. ) like AKG, Micro Acoustics, ADC, B&O, Audio Technica, Sonus, etc, etc.
Years latter the same dealer told me about the MC marvelous cartridges and he introduce me to the Denon-103 following with the 103-D and the Fulton High performance, so I start to buy and hear MC cartridges. I start to read audio magazines about either cartridge type: MM and Mc ones.
I have to make changes in my audio system ( because of the low output of the MC cartridges and because I was learning how to improve the performance of my audio system ) and I follow what the reviewers/audio dealers speak about, I was un-experienced !!!!!!!, I was learning ( well Im yet. ).
I can tell you many good/bad histories about but I dont want that the thread was/is boring for you, so please let me tell you what I learn and where Im standing today about:
over the years I invested thousands of dollars on several top high end MC cartridges, from the Sumiko Celebration passing for Lyras, Koetsu, Van denHul, to Allaerts ones ( just name it and I can tell that I own or owned. ), what I already invest on MC cartridges represent almost 70-80% price of my audio system.
Suddenly I stop buying MC cartridges and decide to start again with some of the MM type cartridges that I already own and what I heard motivate me to start the search for more of those hidden jewels that are ( here and now ) the MM phono cartridges and learn why are so good and how to obtain its best quality sound reproduction ( as a fact I learn many things other than MM cartridge about. ).
I dont start this finding like a contest between MC and MM type cartridges.
The MC cartridges are as good as we already know and this is not the subject here, the subject is about MM type quality performance and how achieve the best with those cartridges.
First than all I try to identify and understand the most important characteristics ( and what they means . ) of the MM type cartridges ( something that in part I already have it because our phonolinepreamp design needs. ) and its differences with the MC ones.
Well, first than all is that are high output cartridges, very high compliance ones ( 50cu is not rare. ), low or very low tracking force ones, likes 47kOhms and up, susceptible to some capacitance changes, user stylus replacement, sometimes we can use a different replacement stylus making an improvement with out the necessity to buy the next top model in the cartridge line , low and very low weight cartridges, almost all of them are build of plastic material with aluminum cantilever and with eliptical or old line contact stylus ( shibata ) ( here we dont find: Jade/Coral/Titanium/etc, bodies or sophisticated build material cantilevers and sophisticated stylus shape. ), very very what I say? Extremely low prices from 40.00 to 300.00 dls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, well one of my cartridges I buy it for 8.99 dls ( one month ago ): WOW!!!!!!, so any one of you can/could have/buy ten to twenty MM cartridges for the price of one of the MC cartridge you own today and the good notice is that is a chance that those 10-20 MM type cartridges even the quality performance of your MC cartridge or beat it.
Other characteristics is that the builders show how proud they were/are on its MM type cartridges design, almost all those cartridges comes with a first rate box, comes with charts/diagrams of its frequency response and cartridge channel separation ( where they tell us which test recording use it, with which VTF, at which temperature, etc, etc. ), comes with a very wide explanation of the whys and hows of its design and the usual explanation to mount the cartridge along with a very wide list of specifications ( that were the envy of any of today MC ones where sometimes we really dont know nothing about. ), comes with a set of screws/nuts, comes with a stylus brush and even with stylus cleaning fluid!!!!!!!!!, my GOD. Well, there are cartridges like the Supex SM 100MK2 that comes with two different stylus!!!! One with spherical and one with elliptical/shibata shape and dear friends all those in the same low low price!!!!!!!!!!!
Almost all the cartridges I own you can find it through Ebay and Agon and through cartridge dealers and dont worry if you loose/broke the stylus cartridge or you find the cartridge but with out stylus, you always can/could find the stylus replacement, no problem about there are some stylus and cartridge sources.
When Im talking about MM type cartridges Im refer to different types: moving magnet, moving iron, moving flux, electret, variable reluctance, induced magnet, etc, etc. ( here is not the place to explain the differences on all those MM type cartridges. Maybe on other future thread. ).
I made all my very long ( time consuming ) cartridge tests using four different TTs: Acoustic Signature Analog One MK2, Micro Seiki RX-5000, Luxman PD 310 and Technics SP-10 MK2, I use only removable headshell S and J shape tonearms with 15mm on overhang, I use different material build/ shape design /weight headshells. I test each cartridge in at least three different tonearms and some times in 3-4 different headshells till I find the right match where the cartridge perform the best, no Im not saying that I already finish or that I already find the perfect match: cartridge/headshell/tonearm but I think Im near that ideal target.
Through my testing experience I learn/ confirm that trying to find the right tonearm/headshell for any cartridge is well worth the effort and more important that be changing the TT. When I switch from a TT to another different one the changes on the quality cartridge performance were/are minimal in comparison to a change in the tonearm/headshell, this fact was consistent with any of those cartridges including MC ones.
So after the Phonolinepreamplifier IMHO the tonearm/headshell match for any cartridge is the more important subject, it is so important and complex that in the same tonearm ( with the same headshell wires ) but with different headshell ( even when the headshell weight were the same ) shape or build material headshell the quality cartridge performance can/could be way different.
All those experiences told me that chances are that the cartridge that you own ( MC or MM ) is not performing at its best because chances are that the tonearm you own is not the best match for that cartridge!!!!!!, so imagine what do you can/could hear when your cartridge is or will be on the right tonearm???!!!!!!!!, IMHO there are ( till today ) no single ( any type at any price ) perfect universal tonearm. IMHO there is no the best tonearm , what exist or could exist is a best tonearm match for that cartridge , but thats all. Of course that are lucky tonearms that are very good match for more than one cartridge but dont for every single cartridge.
I posted several times that Im not a tonearm collector, that I own all those tonearms to have alternatives for my cartridges and with removable headshells my 15 tonearms are really like 100+ tonearms : a very wide options/alternatives for almost any cartridge!!!!!!
You can find several of these MM type cartridges new brand or NOS like: Ortofon, Nagaoka, Audio Technica, Astatic, B&O, Rega, Empire, Sonus Reson,Goldring,Clearaudio, Grado, Shelter, Garrot, etc. and all of them second hand in very good operational condition. As a fact I buy two and even three cartridges of the same model in some of the cartridges ( so right now I have some samples that I think I dont use any more. ) to prevent that one of them arrive in non operational condition but Im glad to say that all them arrive in very fine conditions. I buy one or two of the cartridges with no stylus or with the stylus out of work but I dont have any trouble because I could find the stylus replacement on different sources and in some case the original new replacement.
All these buy/find cartridges was very time consuming and we have to have a lot of patience and a little lucky to obtain what we are looking for but I can asure you that is worth of it.
Ok, I think it is time to share my performance cartridge findings:
first we have to have a Phonolinepreamplifier with a very good MM phono stage ( at least at the same level that the MC stage. ). Im lucky because my Phonolinepreamplifier has two independent phono stages, one for the MM and one for MC: both were designed for the specifics needs of each cartridge type, MM or MC that have different needs.
we need a decent TT and decent tonearm.
we have to load the MM cartridges not at 47K but at 100K ( at least 75K not less. ).
I find that using 47K ( a standard manufacture recommendation ) prevent to obtain the best quality performance, 100K make the difference. I try this with all those MM type cartridges and in all of them I achieve the best performance with 100K load impedance.
I find too that using the manufacturer capacitance advise not always is for the better, till the end of the day I find that between 100-150pf ( total capacitance including cable capacitance. ) all the cartridges performs at its best.
I start to change the load impedance on MM cartridges like a synonymous that what many of us made with MC cartridges where we try with different load impedance values, latter I read on the Empire 4000 DIII that the precise load impedance must be 100kOhms and in a white paper of some Grace F9 tests the used impedance value was 100kOhms, the same that I read on other operational MM cartridge manual and my ears tell/told me that 100kOhms is the value .
Before I go on I want to remember you that several of those MM type cartridges ( almost all ) were build more than 30+ years ago!!!!!!!! and today performs at the same top quality level than today MC/MM top quality cartridges!!!!!, any brand at any price and in some ways beat it.
I use 4-5 recordings that I know very well and that give me the right answers to know that any cartridge is performing at its best or near it. Many times what I heard through those recordings were fine: everything were on target however the music dont come alive dont tell me nothing, I was not feeling the emotion that the music can communicate. In those cartridge cases I have to try it in other tonearm and/or with a different headshell till the feelings comes and only when this was achieved I then was satisfied.
All the tests were made with a volume level ( SPL ) where the recording shines and comes alive like in a live event. Sometimes changing the volume level by 1-1.5 db fixed everything.
Of course that the people that in a regular manner attend to hear/heard live music it will be more easy to know when something is right or wrong.
Well, Raul go on!!: one characteristic on the MM cartridges set-up was that almost all them likes to ride with a positive ( little/small ) VTA only the Grace Ruby and F9E and Sonus Gold Blue likes a negative VTA , on the other hand with the Nagaoka MP 50 Super and the Ortofons I use a flat VTA.
Regarding the VTF I use the manufacturer advise and sometimes 0.1+grs.
Of course that I made fine tuning through moderate changes in the Azymuth and for anti-skate I use between half/third VTF value.
I use different material build headshells: aluminum, composite aluminum, magnesium, composite magnesium, ceramic, wood and non magnetic stainless steel, these cartridges comes from Audio Technica, Denon, SAEC, Technics, Fidelity Research, Belldream, Grace, Nagaoka, Koetsu, Dynavector and Audiocraft.
All of them but the wood made ( the wood does not likes to any cartridge. ) very good job . It is here where a cartridge could seems good or very good depending of the headshell where is mounted and the tonearm.
Example, I have hard time with some of those cartridge like the Audio Technica AT 20SS where its performance was on the bright sound that sometimes was harsh till I find that the ceramic headshell was/is the right match now this cartridge perform beautiful, something similar happen with the Nagaoka ( Jeweltone in Japan ), Shelter , Grace, Garrot , AKG and B&O but when were mounted in the right headshell/tonearm all them performs great.
Other things that you have to know: I use two different cooper headshell wires, both very neutral and with similar sound and I use three different phono cables, all three very neutral too with some differences on the sound performance but nothing that makes the difference on the quality sound of any of my cartridges, either MM or MC, btw I know extremely well those phono cables: Analysis Plus, Harmonic Technologies and Kimber Kable ( all three the silver models. ), finally and dont less important is that those phono cables were wired in balanced way to take advantage of my Phonolinepreamp fully balanced design.
What do you note the first time you put your MM cartridge on the record?, well a total absence of noise/hum or the like that you have through your MC cartridges ( and that is not a cartridge problem but a Phonolinepreamp problem due to the low output of the MC cartridges. ), a dead silent black ( beautiful ) soundstage where appear the MUSIC performance, this experience alone is worth it.
The second and maybe the most important MM cartridge characteristic is that you hear/heard the MUSIC flow/run extremely easy with no distracting sound distortions/artifacts ( I cant explain exactly this very important subject but it is wonderful ) even you can hear/heard sounds/notes that you never before heard it and you even dont know exist on the recording: what a experience!!!!!!!!!!!
IMHO I think that the MUSIC run so easily through a MM cartridge due ( between other facts ) to its very high compliance characteristic on almost any MM cartridge.
This very high compliance permit ( between other things like be less sensitive to out-center hole records. ) to these cartridges stay always in contact with the groove and never loose that groove contact not even on the grooves that were recorded at very high velocity, something that a low/medium cartridge compliance cant achieve, due to this low/medium compliance characteristic the MC cartridges loose ( time to time and depending of the recorded velocity ) groove contact ( minute extremely minute loose contact, but exist. ) and the quality sound performance suffer about and we can hear it, the same pass with the MC cartridges when are playing the inner grooves on a record instead the very high compliance MM cartridges because has better tracking drive perform better than the MC ones at inner record grooves and here too we can hear it.
Btw, some Agoners ask very worried ( on more than one Agon thread ) that its cartridge cant track ( clean ) the cannons on the 1812 Telarc recording and usually the answers that different people posted were something like this: dont worry about other than that Telarc recording no other commercial recording comes recorded at that so high velocity, if you dont have trouble with other of your LPs then stay calm.
Well, this standard answer have some sense but the people ( like me ) that already has/have the experience to hear/heard a MM or MC ( like the Ortofon MC 2000 or the Denon DS1, high compliance Mc cartridges. ) cartridge that pass easily the 1812 Telarc test can tell us that those cartridges make a huge difference in the quality sound reproduction of any normal recording, so it is more important that what we think to have a better cartridge tracking groove drive!!!!
There are many facts around the MM cartridge subject but till we try it in the right set-up it will be ( for some people ) difficult to understand those beauties . Something that I admire on the MM cartridges is how ( almost all of them ) they handle the frequency extremes: the low bass with the right pitch/heft/tight/vivid with no colorations of the kind organic !! that many non know-how people speak about, the highs neutral/open/transparent/airy believable like the live music, these frequency extremes handle make that the MUSIC flow in our minds to wake up our feelings/emotions that at the end of the day is all what a music lover is looking for.
These not means that these cartridges dont shine on the midrange because they do too and they have very good soundstage but here is more system/room dependent.
Well we have a very good alternative on the ( very low price ) MM type cartridges to achieve that music target and Im not saying that you change your MC cartridge for a MM one: NO, what Im trying to tell you is that it is worth to have ( as many you can buy/find ) the MM type cartridges along your MC ones
I want to tell you that I can live happy with any of those MM cartridges and Im not saying with this that all of them perform at the same quality level NO!! what Im saying is that all of them are very good performers, all of them approach you nearest to the music.
If you ask me which one is the best I can tell you that this will be a very hard call an almost impossible to decide, I think that I can make a difference between the very good ones and the stellar ones where IMHO the next cartridges belongs to this group:
Audio Technica ATML 170 and 180 OCC, Grado The Amber Tribute, Grace Ruby, Garrot P77, Nagaoka MP-50 Super, B&O MMC2 and MMC20CL, AKG P8ES SuperNova, Reson Reca ,Astatic MF-100 and Stanton LZS 981.
There are other ones that are really near this group: ADC Astrion, Supex MF-100 MK2, Micro Acoustics MA630/830, Empire 750 LTD and 600LAC, Sonus Dimension 5, Astatic MF-200 and 300 and the Acutex 320III.
The other ones are very good too but less refined ones.
I try too ( owned or borrowed for a friend ) the Shure IV and VMR, Music maker 2-3 and Clearaudio Virtuoso/Maestro, from these I could recommended only the Clearaudios the Shures and Music Maker are almost mediocre ones performers.
I forgot I try to the B&O Soundsmith versions, well this cartridges are good but are different from the original B&O ( that I prefer. ) due that the Sounsmith ones use ruby cantilevers instead the original B&O sapphire ones that for what I tested sounds more natural and less hi-fi like the ruby ones.
What I learn other that the importance on the quality sound reproduction through MM type cartridges?, well that unfortunately the advance in the design looking for a better quality cartridge performers advance almost nothing either on MM and MC cartridges.
Yes, today we have different/advanced body cartridge materials, different cantilever build materials, different stylus shape/profile, different, different,,,,different, but the quality sound reproduction is almost the same with cartridges build 30+ years ago and this is a fact. The same occur with TTs and tonearms. Is sad to speak in this way but it is what we have today. Please, Im not saying that some cartridges designs dont grow up because they did it, example: Koetsu they today Koetsus are better performers that the old ones but against other cartridges the Koetsu ones dont advance and many old and today cartridges MM/MC beat them easily.
Where I think the audio industry grow-up for the better are in electronic audio items ( like the Phonolinepreamps ), speakers and room treatment, but this is only my HO.
I know that there are many things that I forgot and many other things that we have to think about but what you can read here is IMHO a good point to start.
Regards and enjoy the music.

Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
L.A. City Council Votes to Boycott Arizona
With a jerk of the knee so violent it probably broke their own jaw, the Los Angeles City Council voted 13-1 Wednesday to boycott Arizona businesses. The measure (applicable only to government contracts) is reportedly in response to Arizona's recent enactment of the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, or S.B. 1070, which enforces existing federal law requiring immigrants to provide proof of legal status.
Tea Party Favorites Taking Government Handouts
As the November 2010 elections approach, it is the sacred duty of every Constitutionalist to be aware of the differences among the various parties and factions promoting themselves as friends of the Constitution, advocates of small government, and proponents of lower taxes.
President Obama's Call for Civility: Do As I Say, Not As I Do
On May 1 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, during his commencement address to the University of Michigan, President Barack Obama made the following suggestion to the assembled graduates, families, and friends:
The second way to keep our democracy healthy is to maintain a basic level of civility in our public debate. These arguments we're having over government and health care and war and taxes are serious arguments. They should arouse people's passions, and it's important for everyone to join in the debate, with all the rigor that a free people require.
But we cannot expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down. You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can question someone's views and their judgment without questioning their motives or their patriotism. Throwing around phrases like "socialist" and "Soviet-style takeover;" "fascist" and "right-wing nut" may grab headlines, but it also has the effect of comparing our government, or our political opponents, to authoritarian, and even murderous regimes.
Obama Administration Plans to Seize 401(k) Retirement Accounts
One aspect of a new and improved federal regulatory scheme is the seizure of 401(k) retirement plans and the subsequent government-administered disbursement of the funds.
The GOP and the VAT: Acronyms No Longer Acrimonious
For all those who look to the Republican Party for defense of limited government, personal liberty, and constitutional restraint, you better look elsewhere.
Obama Administration Cutbacks on Immigration Force Arizona's Hand
Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution states in part: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion." The second of those clauses is the source of a great controversy surrounding Arizona's recent enactment of legislation criminalizing illegal immigration status in that state.
U.S. Military to Impose Order in American Towns in Time for November Elections
Within one month of the November midterm elections, a specially tasked unit of the United States Army will be on alert and ready to deploy within the borders of the United States to quell "civil unrest" that some fear may afflict the nation in the summer months prior to the elections.
Kay Bailey Hutchison to Remain in the Senate
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) has decided to finish out her term in the U.S. Senate despite repeatedly pledging to retire during her recent run for governor of Texas.
Bad Reputation Plagues Reporters
If You Can't Sell the Fake, Sell the Fizzle.
The Tea Party & Choosing Choice Candidates
A recent poll conducted by Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio indicated that 41 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party Movement. This support is manifest in the influential role played by Tea Party activists in the defeat of Governor Jon Corzine in New Jersey, the landslide election of Governor Bob McDonnell in Virginia, and most recently and visibly, Scott Brown's historic victory in the special election in Massachusetts to fill the seat left vacant by the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy. To varying degrees, all of these men owe their success to the skill, spirit, and stamina of the men and women of the Tea Party Movement.

The Ghost Inside
California's most passionate and articulate exponents of hardcore will released their exceptional third album, Get What You Give on June 19th, 2012. The album, produced by Jeremy Mckinnon of A Day To Remember, embraces The Ghost Inside's powerful and affecting sound that merges insightful and introspective lyrics with charging drums, lightning fast riffs and devastating breakdowns.
"Our new album is musically, lyrically and vocally our best album to date," says frontman Jonathan Vigil. "After spending two years on the road following the release of our last album (Returners), we've developed a true sound for our band. We really pushed ourselves to the limits to create something we can honestly be proud of and to prove that in life, you're always going to Get What You Give."
Get What You Give is nothing short of the band's most dynamic and explosive material thus far, an album that embraces the authenticity, dedication, perseverance and the most ...

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"These are a bit bigger than the typical address label at about an 1" by 1.5". But we used our on the back in the middle of the top fold, which looked great. We decided to go with these rather than the printed addresses on the envelop for the rehearsal because it was a bit more economical. Overall, super easy and cute!"
"As soon as I saw this label, I loved the look! The idea of the fireflies in & around the mason jars took me back to my youth enjoying summer with friends. I loved the 'fun' & light-hearted feel of these labels. I want people to smile when they see them! I did not have any problems with the design, the ordering or the delivery. The final product is perfect!"
"Ordered these labels as a a Christmas gift for my parents who live at the beach. They are perfect and I know they will love them. Arrived before date and are printed on quality paper. They look pricier than they were. Thank you wedding paper divas!"
"The labels looked exactly like how they appeared on the computer when I ordered them. The paper stuck very well to the envelopes and I will probably order more."
"I love these address labels! They are colorful and high quality. The labels are a little big for 3x5 cards, but I use them anyway. The turn around time was awesome! I chose the standard shipping, yet I received my order within days. Much sooner than the delivery estimate. I ordered these to use on all of the thank you notes from my recent wedding and I've gotten lots of comments about how cute they are!"

Keeping your dog's or cat's teeth clean at home is a great way to avoid costly trips to the veterinarian for dental work. This easy to use product is just sprinkled onto your pet's food daily to help maintain the bacteria balance in your pet's mouth. The beneficial bacteria in this product help prevent bad breath and plaque buildup by helping to prevent the growth of the bad bacteria that causes these issues. Plus, you can rest easy knowing that you are providing your cat or dog with a product that contains all natural ingredients.
Brand | PSCPets |
Manufacturer | ProbioticSmart |
Size | 60 grams |
Size Options | No |
Color Options | No |
Cost/Feeding | $00.26/gram |
DIRECTIONS: Simply sprinkle one level scoop of the odorless and flavorless powder on pet
INGREDIENTS: Soy Protein Isolate, Dried Bifidobacterium bifidum Fermentation Product, Dried Bifidobacterium longum Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus casei Fermentation Product, Dried Bacillus licheniformis Fermentation Product, Magnesium Stearate, and Silicon Dioxide.
Seems to Work
I've tried all sorts of dental products on my dog: dental sprays, algae powders, etc. The only ones that seem to work are the enzymatic toothpastes (Petrodex) and this Probiotics powder. She gets both every day. My dog no longer has bleeding gums, and her teeth are all very white except for one that was badly stained.
whiter teeth, better breath
I started giving this to my two toy Manchester terriers over 6 months ago. Their breath was horrible and their teeth had a lot of tartar. I ended up having their teeth cleaned in March at the vet because my little boy had a pretty bad gum infection and lost some teeth. However I have been using this product along with the Oratene maintenance gel every day since and their teeth have remained clean and bright.... well what is left of them anyway. They don't seem to mind the taste of it if there is any. Overall, I am very pleased.
Works Great
We used this on our shelties and the veterinarian commented on how well their teeth looked!
This Dental Hygienist thinks it works.
My four year old German Shepherd's very large teeth have become whiter and brighter. Her breath is sweet too. Easy to use. My fussy eater does not notice the difference in her food.
Seems to be working
I have been using this product now for my 2 cats for about 6 months. One of them has severe problems with his teeth. I am hoping this will reduce his dental work. The big thing is that the cats do not mind it sprinkled on their food -- they eat anyway. It does not seem to spoil the taste or texture of their food.
Is Working!
I received a sample of this with my last order (thank you!), and have been using it. So far, so good! I have noticed a change and it is working!

ON AND OFF THE AVENUE about consumer rental services. Temporary possession, especially in this declining economy, may not be such a bad idea. You can hire a family. The Tokyo agency Hagemashi-tai, meaning "We Want to Cheer You Up," is one of about ten outfits in Japan that supply clients with adult actors willing to impersonate any blood relation you require. Another Japanese company, Office Agents, provides wedding guests. Scott Rosenbaum, who lives in New Jersey, founded Rent-a-Friend, in October, 2009. Mentions rentable robots made by Entertainment Robots and Probotics America. Nothing says high-school prom more than an ill-fitting rented tuxedo, and Jack Silver Formal Wear has been outfitting the young, as well as the not-so-young, for eighty years. Rent the Runway was started last November by Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss. At their office, in Tribeca, the writer ambled past enough Robert Rodriguez strapless stretch dresses to fill a night club, and they represented only a fraction of the twenty-two thousand dresses and six thousand pieces of bling warehoused in their stockroom. "You can save so much money and feel like a million dollars," Madeline Passarelli, the founder of Wear Today, Gone Tomorrow, said. Mentions the Albright Fashion Library, Avelle, Adorn, My Busy Bucket, FlexPetz, Rent-a-Ruminant, Borrowlenses, Global Rent-a-Scope, the Seattle Art Museum, the Portland Museum, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, BookSwim, Booksfree, the Greenwich Village Funeral Home, and Horne-Dannecker Funeral Home.

Hey guys! Have you ever wanted to participate in tournaments with your friends or clan, but never made it past the first round because you would always be stomped by higher tiered players? Maybe you've always wanted to compete in a Mid Wars tournament, but never been able to because nobody ever hosts it?!
Look no further friends, as Clan Milk is here to help! We're hosting four tournaments every month, three amateur tournaments (only players under 1800 are allowed to participate) and one "fun" tournament, a Mid Wars!
And don't worry... you're not only fighting for glory. Winners will also be receiving Gold Coins!
Come check us out - click on the banners below to be redirected to our tournament pages
As time passes and our organization grows bigger, we will also be adding gear (signed shirts, headsets, mice and more) to the prizepools of these tournaments.
Registration is free and easy to use, plus there's close to no chance (99% foolproof!) of being matched against higher skilled players when you're participating in our amateur tournaments, thanks to the current system we have in place. You'll actually be able to play balanced matches that everybody can have fun in!
Official tournament page here.
Number of tournaments hosted so far: 9
Total players participated: 3300

No, we actually check every single application. We currently have 455 players (65 teams~) signed up for the 5v5. Every single player was checked out.
Your application is rejected even if ONE of your guys look fishy (EG, 70% winrate, 30-40 games played). If you don't apply with your main account it's pretty hard to get in.
Great job, HoN need this, i hope you guys got all the support you want from S2!
Keep it up!

The only thing we can't prevent is users going on other user's accounts. Though lets say for example that did happen, and we watch a game where a 1300 plays exactly like an 1800 player, we would just disqualify that player.
We've already hosted one of these tournaments (the 1v1) and had no issues with smurfs/stat manipulators etc. The tourney did really well, and I believe all the upcoming ones are going to do even better!
We are a new organisation and these 3 monthly tournaments are for amateurs only. We are very strict on smurfs and check everything. As an amateur who just plays this game for fun you should not expect money prizes. We are a very new organisation and still have a lot more in planning. If you have any questions ask them in any of our tournament threads.
