Like the color
These are great everyday flats. The color is very neutral and goes with almost everything. I normally wear a size 8.5 so I got a 9 and they fit well. Very comfy. I don't think they'll last a long time, but for this price that's ok.

Comfy flats !!!
Those flats are quite comfy and very soft.. they fit my wide feet very well, if I took one size smaller they wouldnt be problem and would be looking even cutier. Normally I am a size 8, due to reading a lot of reviews, I ordered a size 9. Overall those flats are flatering and comfy, I love them.

True to size, but stretched quickly
My first pair of Yosi ballets, and I'm a little disappointed by the quality..
I know they are cheap, but the leather stretched straight away and pretty soon after I bought (2 months max) them they were flipping off..! I'd personally prefer to pay a bit more to get better quality leather. eg my country road leather flats that I've had for 3 years now.. But most girls may not wear them for a lot of walking like I do, so might be ok for a bit longer..
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Not the best...
Cuter in the picture, or perhaps in a smaller size. I love ballet flats and most seem to work fine of my size 9 feet, but unfortunately these did nothing for me. The quality and price are good but overall they just appear to be something made with a cookie cutter in a factory. Returned.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Great Ballet Flats!!
This is my 2nd pair of Yosi Samras. These shoes are utterly comfort defined. My husband got a grey pair for me when I was pregnant and having a hard time finding comfortable shoes. It feels like you're not even wearing shoes! The sole is split, making it conform to your foot. It also makes it very easy to fold in half and tuck in your work bag/purse after a long day of wearing heels....you can treat your feet on the walk home. The pink color of these are a little bit darker/muted mauve than what is pictured, but I still like them.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

good buy
there were a great buy, very inexpensive, and decent quality for the price. I won't expect to wear them for more than 1 season since I wore them quite a bit, and the sole is scuffed at the heel.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Great colour and super comfortable
Fantastic for running around town. I buy a new pair of Yosi Samra every few months - they are superb for general day to day wear, or to wear for work commute.

Love the color, but to small
I'm a flats girl. And Yosi Samra is the king of flats for "the gal on the go". I wanted a neutral flat for an international trip ( comfy flats are a girls best friend on a 24 hour flight ). Sadly, while these flats were super portable ( folding up to fit easily into your purse ), they were about a half size to small.
The quality is great, and if they came in an 11 1/2, I would have sized up, but unfortunately they don't.
If you want to order these, please size up at least a half size. Cute little shoe, just to small for me.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Impressed, esp. considering the price!
I think I like these just as much as my lanvin ballet flats! But now I don't have to worry if they get dirty. Super comfy shoe and looks great with everything! Love!

Creating a team favorite card view
Team favorites give you and your team members a quick way to view the cards you work with regularly in the format you prefer (i.e. grid, list or other view).
For example, iteration managers or project managers can view all cards of type=story with a status=new in a grid view. This may be useful at the start of an iteration or sprint where they need to assign new user stories to an iteration and to specific developers.
- Team Favorites are global - i.e. they display for all team members, not just the team member who creates them.
- When you click on a card within a team favorite, Mingle lets you navigate through all items in that team favorite. This may be useful when evaluating bugs or analyzing stories.
- You can't save more than one identical team favorite.
- You can't edit team favorites from the Project admin tab Favorites & tabslink. However, you can overwrite a team favorite by selecting Team FavoritesAdd current view to team favorites when viewing a card list, and typing in the name of the existing team favorite.
- If your team will be using a saved view regularly, e.g. looking at all stories in a specific iteration, you can turn this into a tab.
You can also create a wiki page that shows cards according to different card properties. You can even setup a wiki page that references the current user, so whenever the signed in user visits that wiki page, they can see all cards assigned to them. See MQL user guide for all the macros you can insert into wiki pages.
Wiki pages can be made into team favorites and tabs to allow accessing them to be more straightforward
How to create a team favorite card view
- Sign in to Mingle and open the project for which to create team favorites (if you're not currently working in the project).
Click the All tab.
- Filter the card list to isolate the cards you want to work with. If you have existing similar tabs or saved views setup, you can open one of these as a starting point and then change the filters.
- Select whether you want to view these cards as a grid or list.
If viewing in a List
- To add or remove columns, click the Add / remove columns link and select from the list of properties displayed.
- Properties with an orange tick are already present in the view - select these to remove them.
If viewing in a Grid
- Select the group by and color by options. For example, you may group by Priority and color by Status.
- Choose an aggregate to display in the column headings. For example Sum of Estimate
- Add or remove columns as needed by clicking the Add / remove columns link and selecting an option from the menu. This lets you view a card property that is not currently attached to any card so you can drag cards to another property value.
Open the Team Favorites sidebar control.
In 3.1, Mingle highlights the name of the favorite the user is currently looking at from the favorites sidebar.
Click the "Add current view to team favorites..." link. Mingle opens up a dialog to let you enter a name for the saved view.
- Type a name for the team favorite.
- Click the Save button. Mingle creates the team favorite. All team members can now access this view by clicking the Team Favorites link. You can manage this team favorite via Project admin tab Team Favorites & tabs link.

Ten x Ten Challenge: Day 10. It's a Wrap
Bar Tape Challenge from RAPHA on Vimeo.
Today's 10th and final challenge was suggested by Spencer Fine. Well done Spencer, you win a new Gentleman's Cap of your choice.
Seeing that an article in Rouleur no. 7 about bar tape was Spencer's inspiration for the challenge we got Mr. Guy Andrews of Rouleur magazine to step in for this one. Not only did Guy blitz the challenge with extreme panache in under 8 mins, but he also did it in his Classic Softshell beneath the beating sun of the new Rouleur office (they've relocated to Shoreditch nowadays). Tidy.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the 10×10 challenge including Ben Brown who put all the stop frame sequences together and most importantly Team Rapha who have just completed the Cent Cols Challenge in 2nd place. Chapeau.

Salvage Yards Catching On To Crooks Trying To Cash In On Stolen Property
By: Marlisa Goldsmith
Updated: April 25, 2012
"It does happen often."
Juan Keeling is a metal processor at Pine Street Salvage.
He personally handles scraps when they are brought to the yard to be sold.
He says, "There's all kinds of things. Anything that's metallic, with precious metals, which is your copper, aluminum, brass, mostly copper."
Keeling lists the most common stolen items that people bring in order to get some quick cash, a crime that he says is on the rise.
"People are looking for scrap metals, and going through alleys, and stealing because of the economy," Keeling says.
For that reason, salvage yards have to keep a close eye out for thieves bringing in stolen goods and make sure the metal they are buying does not belong to someone else.
Keeling says, "People usually call up here before that time before they bring it and we try to look out for it."
However, if the company does not get a warning, and the items look at all suspicious, they take precaution to help residents protect their goods.
"We write it down. We have cameras here so we take a picture of it and all that, so if somebody calls us, we look into it further and then we call the authorities," says Keeling.

Osaka, Japan-based Nobuhiro Nakanishi's mesmerizing body of work entitled Layered Drawings is truly breathtaking. He photographs a scene or object repeatedly over time, then laser prints each shot and mounts them onto acrylic. Change is captured in each frame, and once layered, they become sculpture installations. The overall effect shows movement and the subtle passage of time.

I love magazines. And a great part why I love them is because of the cover. A good cover is necessary, it shows what the inside is about or tells a story of it's own. I've mentioned www.coverjunkie.com before, it's a large archive of magazines covers curated by Jaap Biemans. He recently selected the best magazine covers of 2011 and made this magazine out of it. He also asked designers to make a shortlist of their favourite 2011 magazine covers. These designers, the covers they selected and why are also inside this jam-packed magazine. It's a 'shout-out to creativity' as the introduction tells us.
Well, in short this magazines shows a striking collection of magazine covers you really should see. The covers tell stories of what happened this year, and at the same time shows the current state of visual culture. A pretty round-up for 2011 which is really nice to have!
Erik Boker, is published in our latest O.K. Periodicals with his product dissections. Wonderful pictures that make you wonder....what more does he do? Take a look at his website and see what great projects he has. The "Animal Snack Kingdom" project for example very nice compositions with candy in animal forms. And don't forget to look at the portraits he made.
A magazine with over hundred headscarfs. Each one has their own story to tell. Really inspiring and intriguing, the story behind it is almost as exciting as all the different patterns. Of course you can order it online, and there's currently also an exhibition on it in the Central Museum in Utrecht. Go, watch and learn!
Currently on show at Huis van Marseille photography museum is Scarlett Hooft Graafland, who makes surreal photos in usually far out places. She makes small but striking additions to the otherwise desolate landscapes.I love it when strong concepts and an eye for beauty come together in photography this way.
It reminds me of Tarsem Singh's movie 'The Fall' a little bit, which is something else to watch if you're into this kind of stuff.
This is the quick flipthrough video of the new O.K. Periodicals / THRILLER issue!
Simply amazing. Only 500 copies printed and each one has an exclusive musical gadget inside. But much more pleasantly disruptive content to ease your curiosity.
So if you really love magazines. Or Art. Design. Literature. Illustrations. Discovering creative up-and-coming talent. Life in general. Be sure to order one of those 500 exclusive copies! (also a nice gift)

This is too cool! Walls layered with Red, Green and Blue images. Every time you change the light a new image comes up. A great way to show anatomy (as seen on the images) but I think it would also work really nicely in a bar, or a club. All in all a great idea worth a look.
Jenny Odell makes collections of specific subjects found on Google Maps.
She says: In all of my prints, I collect things that I've cut out from Google Satellite View-- parking lots, silos, landflls, waste ponds. The view from a satellite is not a human one, nor is it one we were ever really meant to see. But it is precisely from this inhuman point of view that we are able to read our own humanity, in all of its tiny, reliably repetitive marks upon the face of the earth. From this view, the lines that make up basketball courts and the scattered blue rectangles of swimming pools become like hieroglyphs that read: people were here.
At the same time, like any photograph, satellite imagery is also immediately an image of the past. That is, to look at satellite imagery is to look not only down upon ourselves but back in time, even if only by a matter of hours or days. In recording the moment at which things as bizarre as water parks and racetracks covered the earth, the photograph also implies that moment's own passing, encoding each tiny structure with vulnerability and pre-emptive nostalgia. My desire to collect these pieces stems not only from the fascination of any collector but from a wish to save these low-resolution, sporadically-updated pixels--these strange pictures of ourselves--from time and the ephemerality of the internet.
Take a moment for this 'project'. It's not just another Daily Photograph project.
The 'Photo of the Day' website (link here) shows images taken by a man who captures his life in polaroid pictures from 1979 untill 1997. At first (from 1979 on) the photos start off casually; friends, family, joyfull moments. And the mysterious website reveals the life of the person's life bit by bit. He also takes photos of his film- and music projects (1980's). In the final years he photographs himself more often. And it is quite clear that he's very ill. The photos in the hospital, or the results from it, prove it. In his last days he asked his girlfriend to marry him. Two days later you see photos of the wedding. Only a few weeks later he will pass away.
Chirs Higgins did some research for his blogarticle about it and discovered that a close friend put the photos of the man, Jamie Livingston, online and made a exhibition about it. A tribute to the man and his eighteen year long Photo of the Day project.
'They' is a beautifully designed, one colour stencil-printed magazine. It features funny, interesting short texts by various writers.
What makes is also special is the use of images. Throughout the magazine the single coloured images (dark purple) intrigue in a beautiful way. Bits of the texts are projected over a woman; the same typography style in the images and graphic design makes it a whole. Which looks great!
It's a clear designed magazine, functional design, but I like it very much. This is one of those magazines you could come across at at the next O.K. Festival (or maybe we're going to use a new name as we might change the event in April 2012)
Get it here while it's hot!

Irina Werning: "I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else's house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it's imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future."
A book filled with "olifantenpaadjes" (translates into elephantpaths). Photo's by Jan-Dirk on which you can see the small pathways created by shortcuts people make. No matter how well streets and pavements are thought out, there is always a minor detour to avoid. One of the most innocent forms of civil disobedience, which results in a really nice photobook.
A magazine about photography, design and subculture is made twice a year by one-man, Calin Kruse.
When I unpacked this magazine it was obvious I had some kind of special magazine in my hands. A small-size magazine, with semi-glossy paper that shoots the cover images in your face. The review copies are issues 8 and 9. And the cover images are just right in your face! Nailed to the ground you just want to keep staring at them, but curiosity wins and I start flipping the pages.
The biggest thumbs up for DieNacht magazine is that it has a very strong editorial content. The featured content is very well chosen and is intriguing, fascinating. Each item has a got the space in the magazine to be explain itself and be fully understood.
The graphic design and typography is well done, simple but effective. Not completely my cup of tea, but the projects and images are so strong that the design is just right. It supports images and text.
The magazine is written in German, but in the back are English translations of some main articles. Sometimes the accompanying texts are in English too, there's no clear line in that. Should be fun if the magazine will be in English to get a wider audience which it deserves. For now, learn German or just be amazed by the good content of the magazines. You won;t see the famous artists but the ones that are making awesome work. Which is, in my opinion as we also do with O.K. Periodicals, the most interesting. You get in contact with people who still really want to rock the world.
Also nice to know is that DieNacht organizes photography exhibition.
Be sure to get a copy!
Graphic designer, photographer and artist Dorian Gourg chose the name Adahy for this project - the Cherokee word for Living in the Woods. It is the synthesis of two trips; one to New York City, one to South America. The geometric patterns in urban NYC reminded him of Native American art, which in turn reminded him of his trip to the south and quite controversely the wide open landscapes he saw there. As he puts it much more eloquently:
"...This serie of images contains and conveys the notion of time and aesthetic sense which are proper to a specific place throughout the ages, from its simplest mystic expression, to one of the most complex in applied arts, architecture."
"...It's funny to think that mordern man reproduced what he destroyed in a «modern way», sometimes clearly on purpose, sometimes subconscously."

In the statement for her series "Experimental Relationship," Yijun Liao writes, "As a woman, I used to think I can only fall in love with someone that I adore, who is maturer than me, older than me, a protector, a mentor. Then I met my boyfriend, Moro, who is five years younger.... I have always doubted the stereotype of a man-woman relationship. Why does man have to be a certain way? Why should woman be a certain way?"
Only one of the images of Pixy's beautiful serie is featured in the last O.K. Periodicals magazine. In the Morning News is an interview and a more complete view on the serie "Experimental Relationship" I really love it!
Stephen Wragg was commissioned in 2004 to map and photograph the fast-expanding National Cycle Network for local Highways authorities in the UK.
He soon began to notice the variation in the white pedestrian symbols along the way. So began a seven-year odyssey to track down and document the Walking Men of Britain.
The full collection is featured here.
We had a super releaseparty of O.K. Periodicals #6 / BORING Issue. Jaap Blonk started the night with a soundpoetry performance. After that Joost and I went up the stage to give a very boring presentation. We explained how to fill in the form to become a subscriber (hello and thanks to al new subscribers!). And we made a slide for each and every single contributor in the magazine and thanking them. Well, you had to be there in the crowded venue.
But we finished with the flipthrough video you can see here as well.
We hope you will become a subscriber too, so we can make future issues of this wonderfull magazine. It has a limited run of copies (500) and we already sent 250 to pre-orders and so.
Issue 6 is, again, the best issue so far!
In a shop in Arnhem I walked into an exhibition of some photographs from the book Where Children Sleep, made by James Mollison. A very intriguing look inside the places children, all over the world, grow up. It's not just their bedrooms, but also a picture of them in a neutral setting, it makes you think...
Artists duo Lernert & Sander (featured before on O.K. Periodicals, they keep making inspiring work) have collected found clothing from as many darkrooms they could all over the world. How does the visitor of a sex site manage to lose their pants or shoes, and even more, how do they manage to get back home without all of it is a mystery. Together the clothes represent an interesting collection.

Fourteen people were asked to create self-portraits, using a police Photofit kit from the 1970s, without referring to photographs or mirror images of themselves. They were then interviewed by Philip Oltermann on the subjects of identity and the self.
The project was made by Matt Willey (project link as well) and Giles Revell.
This is the direct download of the Photofit PDF.
Introduction from the book:
There are no photos in circulation of Jacques Penry, the man who
invented the Photofit, but from what he wrote in his books, you would
guess that he might have looked a bit suspicious. A photographer by
trade, the Frenchman had been fascinated by facial topography as
early as the 1930s, when he published his magnus opus The Face of
Man. There was, Penry claimed in it, a direct link between any human's
physique and their personality: philosophers, for example, would show
a marked development of the lower cheek muscles, while idiots and
simpletons would invariably possess a markedly receding forehead.
Following the Penry-method of facial classification, he claimed, one
could cleanse society of "criminals, mental deficits, neurasthenics
and vocational misfits."
Perhaps unaware of the supremacist overtones of it's creator's
early musings, Scotland Yard gave the Photofit kit a go in 1970. The
kits come in wooden boxes, containing narrow paper strips with
various facial features and an index listing the contents: eyes, noses,
mouths, haircuts, chins, roughly 40 in each category. There are
transparencies for add-ons, such as glasses, facial hairs or wrinkles,
and a frame on which the individual parts can be assembled.
The first Photofit portrait of a British suspect was broadcast
on 22nd of October 1970, in connection with the murder of James
Cameron in Islington, London. Surprisingly, it came up with the goods:
the image jogged a shop assistant's memory and led to the arrest
of John Earnest Bennett in Nottingham. Soon though, policemen
found that Photofit portraits of suspects often looked nothing like
the criminals that were eventually caught: the Penry-method clearly
had its limits. In 1988, the Met introduced computer programmes
for facial profiling ("E-fits") and Photofit kits across the country were
hurled onto rubbish heaps.
Penry's system might have been inaccurate and ideologically
dubious, but it has qualities that appealed to us when we came up with
this project. Photofit is tactile: you can touch the individual parts with
your own hands and move them about until things click into place – it's
like creating a puzzle. And it is immediate: there is no person standing
between you and the final picture. We managed to track down a male
and female kit from a Police Museum in Kent and invited a number
of people to assemble their own Photofit self-portrait in Giles' studio
in Clerkenwell. The end result, we think, is curious. Each portrait tells
a story: it speaks of the hang-ups, insecurities and vanities we all have
about our own appearance. They hint at how deceptive our relationship
with our self-image can be. Jacques Penry claimed that he could deduce
a person's character from their face in an instant. If nothing else, we
hope that this project shows how the connection between persona
and personality is a lot more complex than that.
We just received the latest issue of Slanted and it looks great again. Each issue really explorers the given theme about typography, visually as well as in the written word, in a good way. The editors know what they're talking about! Next to showing really nice typographic related work, the magazine design itself is also very nice. Good type should be invisible. Well, thats b*llshit ofcourse. Good type should be seen. If you can set type in the way Slanted does, and working with different quality papers from Lessebo for each section than you know everybody should have this instant classic magazine in their library.
Below their pressrelease:
While Slanted #13 dealt with contemporary and historical humanist grotesque fonts, Slanted #14 – Grotesque 2 focuses on
current fonts that are in tradition of Lineal, Neo- or Geometric Grotesque.
They mainly have their origins in the time of the turn of 19th to 20th century. In 1880 Ferdinand Theinhardt designed
the Royal Grotesque with four weights for the Königlich-Preußische Akademie zu Berlin, from which developed the Akzidenz
Grotesque in 1918. Simultaneously, from 1905 to 1930, Morris Fuller Benton created fonts on the basis of Lineal Neogrotesque:
the Lineal Grotesque. Nowadays there can be observed different procedures of designing fonts, which can be
named as quotations. A variety of fonts bear on historical models.
With great pleasure we present a huge number of these corresponding and related grotesque fonts, illustrations and
projects. The type essays by Flo Gaertner (Karlsruhe), Robert Schumann (Berlin) and Anna Sinofzik (London) deal with
them. Worth seeing photos stories are "Almost Europe" by Miguel Hahn and Jan-Christoph Hartung (Frankfurt am Main)
who visualize the situation of refugees in the Spanish enclave Melilla, as well as »Ein Abend auf der Wiesn – Pictures
taken during the great beer rush« by Volker Derlath (München). Numerous interviews with Lizá Defossez Ramalho and
Artur Rebelo (Porto), Edwin van Gelder (Amsterdam), Marta Podkowinska and Karol Gadzala (Krakow) and Hans Gremmen
(Amsterdam) as well as an article about Kiyoshi Awazu as well as the 4th part of the Tokyo Report, both by Ian Lynam
(Tokyo) and a musical travelogue by Frank Wiedemann (Berlin) round up the stuff to read.
The sixth O.K. Periodicals will be released on the 8th of July.
After a bit of a delay (sorry for that) we'll be officially releasing the BORING issue. As you know this magazine is pleasantly disruptive and always curious for inspiring creative work. Maybe the Boring theme is a paradox, but wait until you see all the stunning visuals and read the fascinating stories. Being bored seems to be a most interesting state of mind for people to become even more creative.
We got some big names featuring this issue, and a large part of relatively unknown creative talent as well. All of them deserve a beautiful representation to a bigger audience. This is just one of those magazines you wish you bought before it sold out (we're only printing 500 collectibles).
O.K. Periodicals #6 is featuring: Harmen Liemburg, Gemma Correll, Francis Alÿs, Tom Gauld, Petra Kruijt, Meyoko, Pixy Liao, Simon Wild, Atle Mo, We Make Carpets, Helmut Smits, Jaap Blonk, Mr. Bingo, Berndnaut Smilde, Hans Eijkelboom, Sam Durant and many more...

Album Magazin is a photography magazine from Germany published twice a year. A got it lying on my desks for month now, the second issue is already out but here my review on the first issue and the concept of the magazine. The magazine comes in regular newspaper(about twice a tabloid) size and paper. So when you unfold it it looks very impressive, and you need a big empty table to open a spread and take a look at it. I liked it best standing at the table.
Off course while standing at the table it's hard to read all the text. But it's the best way to look at what the magazine is all about: the photographs. The big sized magazine might be difficult to handle but it's a perfect match with the nice and some times full spread pictures.
The typography is nice and clean. Although the cover doesn't show what to expect inside and the typography is to designy in my eyes. The rest of the typography is looking ok and stands in the shadow while the images are on stage in the spotlight.
I love it when the form of the magazine is set to serve the content, and that's exactly what they did in this magazine, nice work.

Photographer Jan-Dirk van der Burg takes pictures of the everyday life, the unnoticed or things that are so common we tend to don't see them anymore. His subjects range from dogshit cleaners, office culture, miniature mechanics, day in the lives of pensionada and visits workshops to photograph whats going on there as well.
His website is made in Flash which is a pity; the photos deserve a better website.
"The Ark"- It is an object of 3 x 3metres, consisting of 100 portraits of people with eyes closed. For this project Igor Kruter searched for 100 persons not in an optimal state and/or in a stressed mind. Struggle is a daily matter, a daily struggle for all kinds of things, causing a lot of stress. They feel insecure due to this stress, which is in that sense another form of suffering. "The Ark" is a kind of photo therapy. In the process of creating this object Kruter wants to relieve the minds of his models, offer them time to come to themselves, to let them return to a certain state of rest. These people are offered a moment of coming into a balanced state, showing of in Kruter´s work. When seeing the work of the 100 portraits as a body, you are looking at a balanced object. One person is equal to the other, no one is attracting attention more than the other: the work is in balance and it is a whole. The work radiates rest. Rest and balance has to return in each and every person in this work. Every person in "The Ark" has closed eyes, everyone is focused on his inner self, has his own perception of the environment. At that moment of personal relaxation and returning rest, every person is creating an ideal world for oneself, a moment of being in paradise, a moment in eternity. That even before death of the individual. The portraits create an image of intense sleep, close to death. The rest brought by death is for a moment experienced.
A project by: Igor Kruter
Beautiful documentary about architectural photographer
Julius Shulman.
Populating his photos with human models and striking landscapes, Shulman combined the organic with the synthetic, melding nature with revolutionary urban design. Amongst others, he documented the work of Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Rudolph Schindler.

I've come to expect stellar bench results from high-echelon Onkyos (and lower-echelon ones, too, usually), and I got them. Noise and distortion measurements were uniformly state of the art. Frequency response was excellent as well, though the TX-SR875 exhibited a very small rolloff, of about 0.5 dB per octave, above about 10 kHz in all playback modes.
AudioControl's Maestro M2e/Savoy duo produced very impressive power in all tests, with the Savoy generating more watts than expected from such a relatively compact and light amplifier. It met its 150 watts-per-channel spec even with all seven channels driven simultaneously and surpassed it by wide margins in our stereo and five-channel trials.
AudioControl is that rara avis, an American company that actually manufactures A/V electronics - carrying comparatively rational price tags - in the U.S. of A.
In the 30 years of its existence, PSB Speakers has, by my count, introduced a new flagship line only three or four times.
Ed. Note: Readers are advised that prices for this system and its individual elements as reported in the December print edition of Sound & Vision were incorrect. Current prices, including premiums for the birds-eye maple finish on our review system, are provided here.
When this magazine's predecessor, Stereo Review, evaluated Energy's Take 5 system some four years ago, micro-size home theater speaker systems weren't too common.
What if you had all the money in the world but only room for one more item on your shelf? What if you cared deeply about DVDs and CDs but not a fig for DVD-Audio, SACD, Blu-ray Disc, or HD DVD?
Almost 20 years ago matrix-encoded Dolby Surround videotapes and laserdiscs brought surround sound to home theaters. Almost 15 years ago Dolby Pro Logic decoding raised the ante by extracting a center-channel signal from Dolby Surround recordings. And more than half a decade has passed since Dolby Digital brought discrete digital 5.1-channel surround sound home.
As seems usual for Onkyo, the TX-SR605 showed just how technically accomplished mass-produced electronics can be today, with perfectly flat frequency response and perfect D/A linearity to -90 dB (and beyond). Both are as good results as I've measured, and while my memory isn't infallible, I believe this to be the first time these two particular aces have been drawn by the same unit.

Things we learned in Part 1: My car is old. It only played CDs. Angle grinder use on dashboards is best left to professionals. The Parrot Asteroid Smart seems to do a lot of cool stuff.
And that's the thing, right? It seems to do a lot of cool stuff, but there was no way of knowing how cool, or not, until it was installed (quite expertly by Mobile Fantasy).
This is called "a gamble."
I love my car. My car is old. Eleven years old this week, actually. When I bought it, in-dash cassette players were on their way out, and CD players were all but standard. Mine even had the upgraded "Audiophile" system, which had an in-dash 6-disc changer.
The stupidity of a in-dash CD changer aside, the one thing my car didn't have was any ability to add an external source. None. So imagine my annoyance, my near-decade-long annoyance at not being able to play my iPod in my car.
Well with one fell swoop, not only can I play my iPod, I can voice dial, hands free talk, stream music from my phone, navigate via GPS, and do all the other fancy things people who buy new cars can do. I got (Asteroid) Smart.
I'm not sure what to make of the Viewsonic VSD220. I like it. It works as you'd hope, looks quite nice, and is priced well.
But it is definitely a niche product. If you can spot a place in your life for this niche, then I think it's definitely worth checking out.
What is it? Well, you can think of it as a 22-inch Android tablet, with HDMI and USB inputs. Or, you can think of it as a small Smart TV with Android OS.
Got ideas yet? I do.
The Google Play Music Manager has been around for quite a while. Upload and store up to 20,000 songs in the cloud, so you can play them from any connected Android device or computer, anywhere. The problem was that you had to go through and upload each and every file. However, Google has just launched a new scan and match feature in the U.S.
It's that gadget-buying time of year again, and in case you haven't noticed, there's been something of a mobile-device convergence going on lately, with tablets shrinking and smartphones getting bigger and bigger. Under the hood, they're all very similar to begin with, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
But is there a compelling reason for S+V readers to pick up one of these barely-pocketable chunks of Gorilla Glass and plastic? To find out, we took a look at three of the current leaders in the competition for your inside jacket pocket: HTC's Windows Phone 8x and Droid DNA, as well as Samsung's boundary- (and pocket-) stretching Galaxy Note II.
Pop quiz! Quick! Which industry is evolving faster? Automobiles or computers?
I'm skeptical of any audio product with a fancy design. In my experience, the more trendy or attractive a product is, the worse the performance. Maybe this prejudice comes from a place of subconscious competition, given that I'm so trendy and attractive.
So I approached the Parrot Zik with caution, not least because I found out that "Design by Starck" was not a misspelling and had nothing to do with Ned or even Robb (What about Tony? — Ed.).
But turns out, zee Ziks are zuper.
Hot on the heels of Apple's latest iPad (and lukewarm on the heels of Amazon's new Kindle Fires), Google announced new Nexus tablets in unsurprising sizes and price points.
As I've said before, hardware is largely irrelevant to the tablet market. Greater resolution or processing speed doesn't help you get more content to download.
To that end, Google announced new licensing deals to bring more content to Play — and I have a chart to prove it.
It's a given that smartphones and tablets are at the heart of today's digital media experience. The latest wave of small, mobile devices provide access to every streaming service under the sun and enough file storage to make not only portable media players, but pretty much every other part of the traditional listening rig obsolete. Big systems are going the way of the dodo — little wireless table radios are where it's at nowadays. Enter the Logitech UE Smart Radio and Phorus' Play-Fi system, two worthy contenders with very different design philosophies.
We're not sure about you, but here at Sound+Vision we've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of V-Moda's M-100 since we first glimpsed it at the 2012 CES. It's been a long and interesting road for the company's latest full-sized, audiophile-friendly 'phone, with many changes stemming from the active input from the community of headphone enthusiasts at Head-Fi. And the Crossfade M-100 is finally here.
App is a word that was barely even part of the public lexicon a few years ago, but now has become such an entrenched part of it that even my mom — quite possibly the least technologically inclined person on the planet — drops the phrase, "There's probably an app for that."
My wife and I sent our oldest son off to college this fall. On the ride up, she and I laughed as we told him that when we first went to campus back in 1979, there was no Internet, no cellphones, no e-mail, no fax machines, and Federal Express was an overnight service strictly for businesses and rich people.

Recovering Hypocrite
I'm running a great risk saying those words. I know that. Some of you might quit following the blog or unfriend me on facebook...but, I gotta say this.
Have you ever heard yourself speak words of life and truth into the life of a friend...only to feel convicted that you should apply them to your current situation or crisis? Yeah? Me too.
I love God. With all my heart. I want to follow Him with everything in me. I know truth. I want it to not only live in my head but to settle down and breathe life into my weary heart.
But there are days when I struggle to see truth. When hope seems far away. When my faith seems fatal.
It's usually those moments when God brings someone along who needs encouragement. And, I find myself speaking truth to them...life giving, amazing, hopeful truth. Only to leave the conversation and return to my discouragement.
I so long for my heart and my head to align themselves and in perfect time waltz through life. But, tonight, it seems like they are dancing to different songs. The noise drowns out the desperate cry of my soul. And, once again, I find myself here...frustrated.
Maybe, I'm the only one. But, at the slim chance that I'm not...
Hi, my name is Carol. I'm a recovering hypocrite. What's your name?

You're not a hypocrite, Carol. You are human. It's so much easier for me to speak words of grace and encouragement to someone else than it is for me to accept them for myself! I deal with the very same thing. I can believe in my heart of hearts that YOUR prayers will be heard and answered. But my faith falters when it comes to me! I shake my head over this constantly--and wonder what He was thinking in choosing me for this life. I just thank God that my Creator knows me and gets me and His mercies endureth forever.

eCarol, you are a beautiful, beautiful woman who was created with a beautiful, beautiful heart... and you're human.
You're no more hypocrite than any other human. Perhaps you're even less of one than most of us because you speak and admit imperfections.
I hope, during your times of discouragement, you will be able to see how beautiful your heart and willingness to be honest truly is... because that's the truth.
The Truth sets us free, my sweet friend. - January 29, 2012 at 6:14 PM

I generally get the feeling that people aren't really interpreting the "too similar/different" comments the way they likely were intended.
First of all, from what we've seen and learned of this game:
-Graphics sucked. They were not a bump in details. If anything, they were almost a step backwards. Background renders in 1.5 are lacking in detail and substance. Just look at how barebones the locations are compared to RE. Then look at the amount of details there are in RE2.
-Gameplay was too different. Game seems to've literally been out of control. Lots of weapons, grenades, armors, bumped enemy count, etc.. Things were bigger, faster, stronger. Medication replaced herbs, computers for typewriters, fetch quests/puzzles were just regular key hunts, etc.. All the things about RE that was part of its essence in the eyes of the fans had been thrown out.
-Scenario felt "the same". Two unrelated scenarios that didn't connect and just acted as an either/or like in RE1. Chracter X would only meet Y and A meets B. Locked. Similar. Nothing "new". While RE2 went for a fresh try with A and B progression, where both scenarios interconnect.
While the RPD was mansion like, it was more like a throwback and deliberate fan service than Capcom being lazy.
SonicBlue said that an italian guy had RE 1.5 images on the Italian face book, well maybe he bought it from Playstation Museum, and paid a lot of money for it, and that is why they are selling everything now.
And Carnivol said Graphics sucked in RE 1.5. The images we saw were from the RE2 trial disc and maybe they weren't the final pre-endered backgrounds? If you look at the image of Elza from the RDT 2 editor, from the Facebook italian guy, and compare it to the Elza with the images inflames(bioflames.com) obtained, you can see that Elza had more detail in the inflames images. Even kendo had more detail in the later betas. You can't really say how bad the game looked until we see the FINAL game.
While I agree that they were a step down compared to RE2's, it's not like they couldn't have reworked the existing backgrounds to become just as detailed. In fact, that's what they did for at least half of the lab rooms they had recycled. If anything, I guess the decision to restart a lot of areas from scratch was because of the overall mood they gave. I noticed that a lot of the lab rooms they had either deleted completely or drastically reworked on were the more sterile looking rooms with the muted color palettes. The same goes for the RPD. Aside from the occasional blood splattered walls and crashed vehicles, the rooms were bland. That and 1.5 RPD looked more like a Japanese police station you'd find in a 90's anime/manga rather than something you'd find in the United States. The Japanese artists had to go the US to research on old-style Western buildings for creating RE2 retail's backgrounds, iirc.Graphics sucked. They were not a bump in details.

The quality of RE2 retail is excellent. The backgrounds are varied, the detail is excellent, the models have a good amount of polygons, the weapons are improved. RE2 is an improvement over the original, BUT... And I say BUT... What was lost from 1.5 was the realism, lighting, atmosphere, and the creepiness. The things that I liked the most about RE1, were in 1.5, and were cut out when they decided to remake the game. And as it was said in the interview, RE2 retail had more of an emphasis on action. Man am I so tired of hearing that word when it comes to Resident Evil.
I remember the nostalgia of playing RE2 after RE: Director's Cut. Those were good times. But when you stumble upon 1.5 and realize that the realism of the first game has completely left the series (noticeable by the time you get to the end of Code Veronica), and you see that a lot of stuff from 1.5 has been spread out into all of the RE games, I felt a bit annoyed. I didn't look at it as a "quality" issue. I looked at it, as the things that made the first game great were being ignored.
And 1.5 must have really been crap for Capcom to keep recyling things from it. >_>
No matter what Capcom says about 1.5, we'll never know how it was until we obtain the 80% build and play it. From what I can see, the game had a lot of potential. And the RPD and Sewers are my favorite parts about the game. The modern-background realism is just so awesome. It has atmosphere, just like in the first game.
And RE2 retail is too easy. They give you way too much health and ammo. I always wind up at the end of the game, with so much stuff in the item box that I didn't even use. The first game was better balanced.

More than RE1, obviously, but more than 1.5 ? I highly doubt it. If anything, 1.5 seemed even more action-oriented than RE2 by a long shot.And as it was said in the interview, RE2 retail had more of an emphasis on action.
Same problem with each and every episode, except Zero on hard mode. Besides, no one knows how balanced 1.5 was, so you really can't criticize RE2 for that.And RE2 retail is too easy. They give you way too much health and ammo. I always wind up at the end of the game, with so much stuff in the item box that I didn't even use. The first game was better balanced.
idk if RE2 is easy, but the bosses are very weak, look at that glorious ultimate birkin, with 6 bullets of mag, he is dead.
anyway, its very ease to get yourself dead, there are many letal attacks, like licker jumping at you, like humanoid birking punch combo and his horrendous digestive cavity (2 last forms)... but, you dont use half of the stuff in the game, if u want, dont even need to take the submachine. anyway, we must think in our 1st gameplay, from a long time, how we handled the ammo. after the 2nd time, we arrange items more efficiently.
Last edited by yurieu; 07-16-2012 at 06:08 PM.
^ Pretty much. People playing RE2 now either know the game inside out or feels it to be so archaic that they play it with a guide in their hand telling them what to use and what to conserve (and which obstacles to bother with killing). I think people seriously forget how insane it was playing these games for the first time, not knowing how long they'd be, what was lurking around the corner, whether the magnum was just another tool to kill zombies with or something you'd want to use to murder a "boss/powerful"-creature instead ... and you totally had no clue that whatever you gobbled up on your first run would be unavailable to the second char on the next.
But we've got the "final" game. It's called Resident Evil 2 ;p
As for the graphics sucking; Yes. They suck. If you compare the Elza in that editor shot, I'm pretty certain it's the same model and textures you see in most 1.5 shots too. That design was probably locked down pretty early. The concept of placeholders (for models/textures) is not exactly unheard of to me, but something tells me that had 1.5 kept going with the planned release dates et al, it'd probably look just as fugly as it does in the majority of the footage we've seen of the game.
playing l4d2 today, this reminds me the entrance from hall in 1.5.
I am tired of my repeating myself too....
SonicBlue said that an italian guy had RE 1.5 images on the Italian face book, well maybe he bought it from Playstation Museum, and paid a lot of money for it, and that is why they are selling everything now.
Leaking somebody else's pictures is very far from owning something. It's like saying the people who post around youtube footages of 3.5 actually own a copy of that build. Random speculation isn't really a good thing.
I like to think that maybe Capcom would have filled out the backgrounds with more detail when the game was more along. My reason for thinking this is because of what happened with the lab, it was given a bit of an overhaul. Some might say well that's just because they spruced it up for RE2, but, many go on to say how much of a rush job RE2 was to get finished, it does show in places e.g the uneven ground of the main hall and reception in the RPD. I really don't think they would have gone through all the trouble of making the lab look better for RE2 unless that's what they were going to do anyway with 1.5.
Problem is that the game was delayed to make room for a complete redesign (final design). Clearly; they realized that the only/best way to fix whatever they had was to just say "fuck it" and throw out most of their stuff. "Bumping up the details" in the rooms would've required complete redesigns of everything anyway.
But that doesn't make for a great story, now does it?

No, it doesn't.Originally Posted by Carnivol
To be honest I'm not really too fussed on the graphics. Despite suffering lower quality images it's the content of the images that I enjoy more. The colours are more vibrant, the scenery is more urban, it's a fresh of breath air compared to the very classical predecessor. Whoever compared it to a futuristic Japanese anime makes a good comparison, and I like it that way. The retail game is very pale and dull looking to me, there's lots of pastel colours painted on the walls and all the areas seem to have this same drab look about it. Sure the image quality is higher but the content of the images isn't quite as visually stimulating to me, the vibrant colours and dynamic lighting of the prototype do a lot more for me.
I feel graphics are more than just textures and polygons. While the graphics may not necessarily be as good in 1.5 from a technical standpoint, they are eons better in terms of flare and style. 1.5 has atmosphere in spades and this is what makes it so appealing to me. The art direction is 100% better. The practical approach of 1.5 is awesome. And just the videos alone of the game are creepy and immersive. The retail RE2 only has a few instances of either.
In RE2 it's an overall 'good' game but it feels too much like.. oh boy, another locked door.. in a bland museum. Whereas in 1.5 it's more holy crap! The HORDES of zombies are coming to eat my face and they won't stop at anything to do it (climbing up ledges and under crawl spaces, awesome)! Like you have to run to survive -- that's what I want to feel in a horror game.. not encounter 4 or 5 at a time in the retail. I feel the armor in 1.5 was awesome. I don't think it would've stopped anything for long. I think it would've added to the tension if zombies were to swarm you (how long would the armor hold out)?
1.5 also has more variety in zombies and monsters and their movements, especially the zombies are really creepy and lifeless / unnatural. I don't know how to quite explain it. The zombies in 1.5 kinda move as if they have went through rigormortis and had to snap their bones just to move so they don't move quite human.
I dunno, RE2 just feels rushed and is bland-looking while 1.5 looks really nice with its vibrant color palette. RE2 has always been an overall disappointment to me because it isn't the game Capcom advertised to us for months on end only to lie to in the end and never give it. That's just wrong in general and not a very nice thing at all to do to fans. I still feel sour about it to this day.
Maybe I see RE2 differently than many others, but after following RE2 (1.5) in my magazine subscriptions all those years back and being so excited about it and then ultimately being so let down upon release -- I can't take RE2 seriously as the 'real' game.. all I can see Claire as is a pretender trying her best to be Elza and the whole 'coincidence' of Claire just happening to be Chris' brother extremely cheesy. Retail RE2 would've been better off titled as something else and then it wouldn't have had to bear the 1.5 'stigma' that it has.
And the mansion-museum is stupid and just an excuse for puzzles to try to be like the first game. 1.5 was at the very least offering something different, which is (was) refreshing. The puzzles worked in the original RE because the mansion was some kind of secretly disguised / crazy lab structure. They don't make sense in RE2. I think that's why the puzzles seem to be scaled back in 1.5 or done differently (better integrated within the environment) -- because the game takes place in a freaking police station and the 1.5 creators were exercising realism and common sense as opposed to retail RE2.
I enjoy discussing 1.5 but it's disappointing at the same time because i've been waiting for it to 'release' after all these years. In the end, RE2 took away everything I was so excited about in 1.5. All I want to do is play this game with a huge smile on my face and maybe some tears of excitement in my eyes.

True Costs of Cheap Meat
Paraguay - 10 Nov 09
A new investigation has revealed that the cheap meat sold in supermarkets across Europe is arriving at a severe cost to the environment and human rights in one of Latin America's most impoverished countries. The film Killing Fields: the battle to feed factory farms exposes that vast plantations of soy destined for animal feed in intensive farms, are causing an array of problems including deforestation, excessive pesticide use, poisoning, rising food insecurity, forced displacement of rural communities, violence, landlessness and poverty. Soy, prized for use as animal feed as it provides a cheap source of protein, is now produced in increasingly large quantities in Paraguay - a country attracting agribusiness because of its cheap land prices, poor environmental regulations and widespread corruption. The growth of export-orientation soy production in Paraguay has led to the destruction of vast areas of forest, threatening biodiversity and depleting food resources for rural communities. Ninety percent of soy production is thought to be genetically modified, dependant on applications of large amounts of pesticides and other chemicals linked to environmental degradation and health problems among locals. The film also investigates the forced removal of indigenous people, whose protests are commonly met with seldom-reported violence. Produced by Friends of the Earth, Food and Water Watch and Via Campesina in conjunction with the Ecologist Film Unit, the film was released in response to international concern over global food security and the looming threat of acute hunger in the world's poorest countries. It is planned to be used to highlight the unsustainable nature of modern food production, and raise awareness of the real cost of factory farming systems supplying Europe's cheap meat and dairy.

Technology and the Internet make gaming more fun and accessible than ever before. You can pick from hundreds of online casinos and online casino games without setting foot outside of your home and the cash you win is still just as real as if you'd gone there in person.
With great power comes great responsibility, though–or in the case of online casinos, with the ability to win cash, you also run the risk of losing it to scams and nasty programs that hack your computer and grab your credit card information.
To ensure an online casino is safe:
- Play at casinos using certified secure casino game software; it's made by an independent company and is designed so that the odds are built-in and can't be changed.
- Always test a new casino by playing with a small amount of money, such as $5, winning a bit and waiting to see if they will give you a payout. Many of the scam "rogue" casinos out there will try to keep your money by delaying payouts for a week or more with excuses, until frustrated players give up and leave them with the money.
- Watch to see that the payment area of the casino's site has a URL that starts with "https://" rather than "http://". The s means that the credit card information you type will be scrambled before being sent, which is good security.
Always keep your computer virus software up to date. Run scans regularly to keep your computer virus-free and prevent any insidious programs from creeping onto your hard-drive and copying the keys you press when entering your credit card number. Yes, they can really do that. Running these scans is free and by keeping your computer secure, you can keep playing online casino games just like you love to — and maybe even win a little extra cash while you're having fun!
