Hey Fellas, just wondering have anybody tried the ALO Audio Lariat 22 SXC or the SXC 18 with the HD 650's here? I couldn't find any reviews on the net with these cables pared with the 650's. I'm also wondering how the Moon Audio Silver Dragon v3 would sound like in comparison to these SXC cables. I myself have an aftermarket cable. I have the blue dragon v3 from moon audio and zeus quad24 occ copper from aphrodite cu29 and the only difference of the two cables I notice is that zeus quad24 has a louder sound in terms of volume and the veil sounding has reduced a bit so for me the zeus quad24 sounds a little better than the blues dragon v3. I'm using the nuforce icon hdp at home and sometimes for on the go the emmeline rsa predator.

I guess the Fiio amps will do ok, the E11 is the best of the bunch, but the HD650's sound far better with a better source and amp, they scale up really well. I don't think think the E17 does them justice, just an opinion. Now that the people I respect have voiced impressions on the HD700, I know the HD800 is next.

For all of those who are familiar with RazorDog! Deals,
I bought my HD650s from his website at least half a year ago and I am still wondering how the warranty works since he is an authorized dealer. My 650s are fine, but I just want to know how I would make use of this warranty because I don't know the serial number of my headphones and I certainly don't have the dealer's signature on the warranty card. Could I sell my Sennheisers and still let the buyer make use of the warranty?

Wow, I don't pay attention for a few days, and I miss a whole heated conversation on a topic that I very often rant on :) Thanks guys for making sure I'm not the only one that is heavily miffed by the topic especially where it approaches HD650!
Yes I find it quite annoying how people affix a bracket to headphones based on price... "low fi" "mid fi" "hi fi".... It is very silly tbh.... Come on clearly the HD650 are HIFI headphones.... 8 years ago people would be saying that they were "hi fi" now that they have decreased in price they are suddenly "mid fi" very silly imo.
If actual technology moved onward, new models replaced the old models, prices moved down, etc, I could see the whole "HD650 is mid-fi" thing. But that isn't what happened. HD650 is the same price it was 8 years ago. It still represents the same position in the market. I also find the notion that "newer better headphones (at 3x the price) exist now, so it's mid-fi" to be silly as well. "Newer better headphones" existed 8 years ago too. The Orpheus, Stax, and so forth. The only difference between then and now is that the price range for exotics has tamed from the $5,000-10,000 down to the $1,000-10,000 range with some new models in that category. The notion that "tech has moved on" well outside the same price bracket is very sideways thinking indeed. That's like saying your brand new speedboat is obsolete because the U.S.S. Lincoln exists. Two different things at two very different price points.
As above, we had better phones around back then too. By your logic, when HD900 comes out at $2500 HD800 will be mid-fi. When HD950 comes out at $4000, HD900 will be mid-fi. The ever-ramping price for ever decreasing improvements is at its core for the "mid-fi" classification, otherwise we'd see new models moving down the price ladder. Maybe that will happen, but it has not happened yet. The old price points are holding steady. Otherwise we're locked in a debate where to be considered the owner of a piece of "hi-fi" equipment is an ever increasing ladder into elitism.
And then that puts headphones like HD700 and LCD-2 in a really weird light. Both have a superior model above them. Thus both are mid-fi? So there's a grand total of a dozen or so "hi-fi" headphones? Weirder: HD650 has the honor of former flagship. HD700 does not. Yet costs more.
Ah right so the HD650 which was a flagship initially and many amps have been built around these headphones etc.... Are now suddenly "mid fi" because other more expensive headphones with different sound signatures have come out? I mean really the HD650 actual sound quality is still HIFI. It is not suddenly MIDFI because some other headphones with different sound signatures have come out. You could argue that the LCD3 is also MIDFI in that case because it has recessed treble. Under the same logic you could say the HD800 is also MIDFI because it is too bright and can sound harsh, same with the Beyerdynamic tesla. LOADS of people agree that the HD650 actual sound quality is still up there with more expensive headphones, just the more expensive headphones have different sound signatures.... Labelling them "mid fi" is silly IMO. They are clearly still upper tier headphones. I bet if the HD650 were priced at $800 people would not be spouting this sillyness about "mid fi". Also I bet if the LCD3 were $400 people would say they are "MIDFI" because they are lacking in the treble but have excellent bass etc.
Right, and there is they key. These new "superior" headphones have such different sound signatures, how could one compare HD650 to them? If we had a headphone with the same sound signature but improved in different areas; extension, detail, speed, that replaced the old price point. Ok, that would be progression of tech. But we don't have that . We have very different sounding headphones at radically higher price points. How could one even determine if they're "better" or more detailed since they're emphasizing different parts of the spectrum. Of course HD800 is more overtly detailed in presentation regardless of it's driver. Most argued that K701 and DT880 were more detailed back in the day too. They weren't, but they emphasized the treble to accentuate detail. We're still arguing the same argument with different phrases. Treble emphasis or no treble emphasis. +$1000. We never left the ancient "DT880 vs K701 vs HD650" debate. We're still arguing it and multiplied the price points Note that I'm not trying to claim that some of these superior headphones aren't somewhat superior, my agrument is that they're not overwhelmingly superior, nor superior withing the same price range to actually be considered capable of supplanting HD650 as anything but "hi-fi." What we have is a group of headphones at radically different prices that offer some different advantages and tradeoffs, and are truly within the same general category. Some folks hate HD800 and like HD650. Some like what HD800 does better. Some like what LCD-2 does better. All balances of tradeoffs, not great leaps in superiority. If these were all $500 (and honestly most of them should be were they not trying to rig the market to a different sense of value) everyone would be debating the tradeoffs and technical merits of presentation, not openly declaring "x is superior."
Same goes for HE-400. Is it inferior to HE-500? Probably. By the reports of most who have compared both, the difference is neglegable. Yet they get blased as "budget" "mid-fi" "entry" etc due to their low price that is entirely due to better production process.
I think you're more spot on than you realize. The SOURCE resolution is what is key here. If 4k became a standard, then perhaps that would become high definition and the old would be dropped to a new mid-definition category. However the prices would also actualize and the 4k would fit the current price points of high-def and the old high-def would budget down. In headphones we're not seeing the progression of new tech; in with the new out with the old. We're seeing a new exotic price point added above the norm, and the knee-jerk reaction that suddenly that is the new standard. If the 4k tvs were consistently sold for 2x, 3x, 4x the price of current high-def, it would remain nothing but an exotic plaything for people with money to spare, and the "old" high-def would continue to be the standard of high-def.
4k TVs are interesting because they function only for up-scaled video. BD is still 1080 as a standard. Broadcast is still 1080 as a standard. And that is very unlikely to change soon given the immense budgets required for it. So all one can do with their shiny 4k TV is upconvert content that's really only 180 to begin with until some new video format standardizes.
Return to headphones. Red Book audio hasn't changed in 20 years. All this arguing about detail extraction seems a little shifty. Red Book has only so much detail. HD650 can already surpass the resolution of Red Book audio and clearly resolve differences in higher resolution audio. And higher resolution audio is still relatively scarce. HD650 was designed and marketed to coincide wth SACD for good reason: It can outresolve Red Book. So while everyone is ranting about the "better detail resolution" of headphone B, while throwing the same Red Book recording at it, what is ignored is that much of that "resolution" is simply "more accentuated presentation of detail."
Specifically speaking of HD800, sure it has clear advantages. Greater extension in both directions with reduced distortion in the bass side. That can clearly be measured. Better soundstaging due to driver position and size. Sure. Faster in the transients? People underestimate HD650, but sure I can believe a new magnet setup could accomplish that. But, then, my planars have faster transients....HD650 still feels more detailed and refined. That can be considered an improvement, but it isn't something to make or break hi-fi status. We're talking about important and obvious advantages when comaring evolutionary steps, but it's not the sort of radical shfits that people claim it to be. Not until the RECORDING takes a serious change in direction. Beyond those things, any improvement is highly subjective since the sound signature will create a bunch of differences.
I'm convinced the people who will argue greater detail retrieval than HD650/K701/DT880 (again, barring bass which has been improved upon since then) on a Red Book CD would also easily argue that their 4k TV shows so much more detail from their 1080p Blu-Ray discs. Emphasis, sure. Retrieval, no.
It's all relative. We generally don't assess phones by tonal balance, but by driver speed and sensitivity. In other words, resolution is usually what dictates better can, worse can--at least in this community. So since 8 years ago, we have HD800s, Omega 2's, LCD-2s, the HE-series (some of which are really cheap), T1's, and so on.
Pretty much all of them are faster transducers than the HD650. So the scale went up and hi-fi became $1K cans. Cans with less resolution naturally fell to mid-fi, and the worst are lo-fi. It just makes things easier to talk about. It's nothing personal--though I'm not sure why anyone would include a can in their self-identity anyway.
So a tonally imbalanced headphone with fast transients is hi-fi, but a well balanced headphone with moderately fast transients is mid-fi? That explains a lot about HD700 Again, though, I ask, considering detail emphasis versus resolution as a factor. Given the Red Book audio standard, which HD650 has already been outresolving for quite a while, even if the higher end headphones are physically capable of outresolving HD650, what good is the capability of outresolving a headphone that already outresolves the source? It's like upgrading your 20" picture frame with a 30" picture frame to frame a 4x6 photo. HD650 was already blasted as complete overkill at an insane price tag when it was released. Now we're overkilling the overkill and patting ourselves on the back for our achievement.
Certainly there are applications for such headphones, and if one prefers the sound signature of them, they're ideal. But to agrue that HD650 is so outmoded by them as to be considred a lesser level of fidelity is pushing it. And faster transducer or not, I do not consider my "really cheap" HE series to be superior to HD650. I love both of them, and I have different desires for the different sound signatures of both. I consider them at worst equals and at best, HD650 still has the edge. The idea that a faster transducer automatically is sufficiently better to mark it as being in a different class is, IMO inaccurate.
Sure we do. 16/44.1 as the standard, and the beginning of the next resolution is 24/88. Can HD650 resolve all detail from 16/44.1? Can it resolve past it and resolve additional detail from 24/88? Yes. As it was designed to do. Can HD800 resolve even greater detail from 24/88 and into 24/96? I don't know. I can say that my if my plenty fast planars can do so, I can not detect such difference.
There's so much talk about "extracting as much detail as you can extract" as though Red Book were some vaguely defined format. Like video there's a very specific amount of resolution on the disc. The headphone/amp/dac can either play all of it without slurring anything or losing minute peaks between impulses or it can't. Beyond that all you can do is accentuate the edges of the waveform and bump the specific frequencies where most detail is contained to draw greater attention to their edges. Detail perception, not retrieval.
I'd gleefully grant that the higher end headphones almost certainly have more ability to do so with the very high resolution recordings. The trouble is I doubt even the most serious of audiophiles has a majority of their music in such high res formats since so few albums are even released in those formats. And that ignores whether the human ear can parse it at all. And completely ignores that for all but the very best DACs 127 may actually be WORSE. But for Red Book we're very, very far beyond that hump. We were beyond it when HD650 was released. Thus why it was blasted as overkill and defended on the merits of SACD which was, at the time, a rising star.
They are, but again, they're all just names. Calling the $1K cans hi-fi just makes it easier to talk about. Back in the day no one called R10's or Qualias Hi-fi and HD650's Mid-fi. The word hi-fi here seems to take into account some sense of affordability/accessibility and resolution. Does that make perfect sense? No. But It's language. It's always going to be subject to consensus rather than logic.
If the categorization of audio performance is subject only to consensus instead of logic, then you'd better get your battery-ended cables ready before heading to the cables forum You're right, it's langauge and since this is a forum to discuss audio the langague used is very important, and the "mid-fi/hi-fi" monikers are thrown around entirely falsely, often on lines of elitism and emotionalism, not genuine debates about actual comparitve performance on a given source material. Consnensus about outright false categorezation does little but hurt the general state of the hobby. We depend on "new blood" streaming through all the time, and wrongly declaring headphones like HD650 as "mid fi" because it's convenient to "consensus" as though they're somehow not giving you the full resolution and that you need to get into the $1000+ range to get into actual "hi-fi" is only harmful. Those are semi-exotic playthings, not the standard of hi-fi.
Disclaimer: While it's an important and serious discussion relating to all of hifidom and especialy HD650, I intended none of my commentary to be accusational or attacking anyone, especially you sphinxvc, since a lot of comments were responses to yours, don't feel like I was blasting you! Your statements were very well stated and pleasant, and reasoned, unlike some who comment on such things at times. We may or may not ever agree on the matter, but it's a debate with informed ideas on both sides. It's always nice when it's a civil debate and not flaming arguments

If you sold them, they would need to be sent to Sennheiser as if they were coming for you, you have an invoice, not sure why you don't have the s/n, but brian can help you with that, and honestly, you don't often hear of a broken pair of 650's, at an rate, Brian is pretty responsive and helpful, and will answer questions.

Giant life cycle
As its chance at the spotlight nears, a giant pumpkin shares its life story
Aug. 29: After two months of care and feeding, the giant pumpkin is about ready for competition. (COURTESY)
Between the heavy rains and the extreme heat, many giant pumpkins like me didn't survive this growing season.
Mr. Beauchemin was New England champion in 2005, with a 1,314-pounder, but this year, "it was just too wet over the season, and I lost everything," I heard him say. "I have nothing for the first time in 15 years. ... We had over 10 inches of rain in June. In July, that was followed by six consecutive days in the 90s," and then with the humidity, the pumpkins were unable to dry out, so disease set in, he said. "This is the worst growing season for a long time for the giant pumpkin."
July 6
He spent time pruning my vine, nipping any other pumpkins in the bud.
And, well, not to give you TMI (too much information), pumpkin growers are always looking to the next generation, and the genetics of my seeds are dependent on whom I pollinate with, so my female flowers were covered to protect me from any natural pollination. (Pumpkin plants are monoecious, meaning they produce both the female flower as well as the male.) Steve chose which male flower I would pollinate with. This year, he traveled to a garden in Merrimack to collect male flowers for this process. (Am I blushing?)
He has a mathematical way of getting a good guess of our weight.
We have to take turns going because these competitions only allow giant pumpkins that haven't been weighed yet.
You see, Goffstown is my last chance to get out and see the world.

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
It was so exciting to witness our Republican caucus. The room was small, and over 76 people crowded in, sitting at desks, on the floor or standing. Our leader was excellent.
After prayer and pledging the flag, we read the platform and ratified it. A new chair was chosen. We decided to vote by raise of hand to save time. Nominations were made for county delegates. Each spoke for 1 minute and answered questions. They left the room and we raised our hands as each name was called.
Each person got three votes for three delegates. The nominees also wrote ballots that were given to the counters. Votes were tallied and winners named. Then the steps were repeated for the state delegates.
We had nine people. Each had 2 minutes to speak and then answer questions. Four people were for ousting Hatch. Five people were for keeping him. Each person voted for two people (2 delegates). The winners were Hatch supporters, who believe the people of Utah should decide themselves if they want Hatch or not. Many were very upset when Bob Bennett was ousted at the last caucus and not able to be on a primary ballot. I have never witnessed such a spirited meeting. I am grateful we have caucus meetings in Utah.

Our brotherblog Sweetest Hockey on Earth has great coverage of the Hershey Bears' new logo, jerseys, and mascot. The new debut was made to celebrate the team's 75th anniversary. We all think the new design is fantastic, and Coco's six-pack abs are okay too.

The Hershey Bears lost to the Adirondack Phantoms 4-3. The game was played at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, home of the Phillies, in front of the largest audience in AHL history.
Our sister blog, Sweetest Hockey on Earth, has comprehensive coverage of the game. There's Brian Mills' pre-game reminiscence of outdoor hockey, Kyle Mace's magnificent photos from outdoor practice, the team picture, the pump-up video, the recap of actual game, and a billion photos of the game.
NHL Network will broadcast the game at 4 PM on Saturday, so, ya know… spoilers.

Making the Hershey Bears 7-1 victory over the Pirates even sweeter, fans threw over 10 thousand bears on the ice for charity. Check out our Hershey blog, Sweetest Hockey on Earth, for more of Kyle Mace's photos and Kathryn's game recap.

We heard from reader Matthew W. that Braden Holtby got a new mask this week. Until today, all we had were blurry, long-distance cell phone pictures, but now we've got pics from Kyle Mace (of our sister blog Sweetest Hockey On Earth) taken during warm-ups of the Bears/Senators game.
The front of the mask features a bear on a roller coaster (either a reference to Hersheypark or his turbulent offseason) and the Capitals Weagle logo. The back features the flags of Saskatchewan and Alberta (Holtby's home); the Japanese symbol meaning "Constant Improvement," the words "Carpe Diem", and the Hershey Bears logo.
Below the jump, check out Kyle's hi-res images of Braden's sweet new headgear. And thanks to Holtby for unknowingly being such a great model.

When George McPhee swooped in and signed free agent goalie Tomas Vokoun for a couple bucks and Alex Ovechkin's now useless stockpile of CCM sticks, there was no doubt it was a great move for the Washington Capitals. But that doesn't mean everyone was happy with it. 21-year-old netminder Braden Holtby, who looked assured of a roster spot just a day before when the team traded away Semyon Varlamov, was once again relegated to a job with the AHL's Hershey Bears.
We know what Michal Neuvirth, the remaining 'keeper in the Caps' trio, thinks about the deal and losing his starting spot. Holtby, however, has been somewhat of a mystery, with head coach Bruce Boudreau admitting during Development Camp even he hasn't spoken to the Saskatchewan native about the move.
Unbeknownst to us (but not Hockey Ramblings), someone has been able get Holtby's side of the story. Several weeks ago, The Pipeline Show on Team 1260 Edmonton caught up the young goalie, with Holtby spilling the beans on the crease situation, Nicklas Backstrom's injuries, why he didn't think the team's defensive system was much of a change, and more.
Below, we offer a transcription.

It was a milestone night in Hershey on Saturday. Keith Aucoin registered his 700th career AHL point, Brian Willsie scored his career-high 30th goal of the season and Dmitry Orlov tallied his first career goal at Giant Center. The Bears went on to defeat the Albany Devils 7-4 in front of a sold-out crowd. With the win, Hershey clinched a playoff spot and earned the right to defend their back-to-back Calder Cup Championships.
The most fascinating part of the evening, however, was the line-brawl that was ignited after Brian Willsie scored against the Devils' fourth line. As the five Bears on the ice went to congratulate each other, Albany tough-guy Chris Murray gave Mathieu Perreault a shove. The feisty, 174 lb. Perreault responded with a flurry of punches and Hershey's entire line engaged Murray. Pierre-Luc Leblond — yes, the same guy who was suspended earlier in the year for jumping Marcus Johansson — then came to his teammate's aid, charging towards the pile of Bears as if he were a bowling ball looking for a strike. Mayhem ensued thereafter, as everyone on the ice squared off except for the goalies.
All in all, 34 penalty minutes were doled-out between the two teams, including 14 PIM's to Leblond and 12 PIM's to Louis Robitaille. The Bears swept the contentious and brutal season series with Albany, 6-0-0. Below the jump, Sweetest Hockey On Earth's Kyle M. has shared his photos of the brawl.

In Hershey's nail-biting 3-2 victory over the Norfolk Admirals Saturday, Sheldon Souray got in his second fight of the season, choosing Lightning defense prospect Vladimir Mihalik as his combatant. Mihalik, who stands in at a towering 6'8", was still no match for the 6'4" Souray, a veteran of over 50 NHL fights.
SHOE's Kyle M. has supplied us with the 100 pictures he took of the fight from the Giant Center's photo-well. His pictures slow down the thirty-second altercation into a work of art, expertly capturing all the essential elements of a good fight: the grappling, the punches, the emotion, and the knock-out blow. Enjoy!
Get over to our babyblog SHOE to watch Ian Oland's interview with the Hershey Bear's own Andrew Gordon. Last week, Ian cornered the AHL's most prolific scorer in the locker room and forced him to answer questions about Sidney Crosby, not making the Capitals roster, Braden Holby's eccentricities, and punishing AHL schedules. Gordon, who contributed to RMNB this spring, was a very good sport.
Here's your pullquote: "My skill-set is equal, or if not, better than [Sidney's]." The kid's a laugh riot.

Welcome back, Varly! After a four week layoff, Semyon Varlamov finally got himself back into game-action tonight as the Bears concluded their stretch of three-games-in-three-nights against the Binghamton Senators at Giant Center. How did he do? Kathryn Hedrick of our Hershey blog, Sweetest Hockey On Earth, has your update:
I know you're all dying to hear how Semyon Varlamov did. When he was sent to Hershey, I'm thinking they were hoping to see him challenged more than he was tonight. He didn't really have to deal with a lot of shots until the second period when Binghamton had a couple power plays, including a 5-on-3. He let in three goals, two while Hershey was on the penalty kill. He was pretty solid but probably wants at least one of those goals back. It's understandable since he's shaking off a lot of rust. He looked great when he stopped a shorthanded breakaway shot during the third period. Overall, he made 21 for 24 saves.
Hershey went on to win the game 8-3. Mathieu Perreault had six assists and Andrew Gordon had a pair of goals. Make sure to view SHOE's gamer here, which includes video highlights, awesome photos from Kyle, and some other crazy stats. Below the fold, make sure to check out some more photos of Varly in action.

Very sticky, colour too sheer and comes off right away. I prefer other proper glosses like Elizabeth Arden's, Rimmel or Loreal glam shine, which come with applicator.
I was quite sceptical because of the price, but absolutely loved them as soon as I tried them!
I now have three, Mirage, Sweet Valentine and Twinkle Pink. Upset that all the ones I have are Limited Edition or Discontinued (In Australia anyway)
They are the best glosses for staying power, and are worth the price ($40 Aust)

Juicy Tubes seems to be one of those things that people either love or hate. As for me, I love them. I purchased some Lancome products and got Miracle as a GWP. After using it, I was in love. I usually don't wear lipstick cuz its a pain in the ass to apply, especially when I feel I always have to wear lipliner to wear lipstick. With the JT, I just put it on my lips. It looks natural but with a lot of oomph. I prefer JT over MAC's lipglass, which I have 5 of in assorted colours. MAC's lipglass is more pigmented but I find it to be more sticky, gums up my lips after awhile and just feels uncomfortable.
With the JT, my lips feel so moisturized and even if I lick my lips a million times, my lips don't end up feeling gummy.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes lipgloss with a lot of shine.

I am so unimpressed with this product. Awful. Sticky, tacky, and just plain useless.
i am not thrilled with this product.. and will not buy or swap for this....
The packaging is horrible for purse-carrying. Little pieces of lint got stuck under my caps-- real gross. Also, the pigment wasn't especially pleasing. The texture, also, got on my nerves. Sticky gloss is a pet peeve of mine.
When I tried this at the store, I thought I was going to love it! It looks good, but not great, at it's very sticky! My Zara lip gloss gives the same look, and costs a lot less!
Among all the lip glosses I've tried, this is probably one of the most stickiest gloss brand. I have 2 GWP that I keep because I like the shade but I give away the others. Some shades doesn't show up that much.
It's probably a little bit too consistant too. I think that they are a bit overpriced. Some cheaper glosses work better.
Love them! Very sticky, but my holy grail lip gloss!
More reviews by MoonSongstress
I like this lip gloss - I have it in bonfire which looks very vibrant and hot in the tube. The thing I find a bit disappointing is that the pigment just does not show up on my lips. It's great in the tube but I want that level of colour when I'm actually wearing it. The MAC lipglasses are much more highly pigmented and I'm going to stick to them from now on. The lancome one tastes subtly like exotic flowers so it's much more serious and grown up than MAC. The trouble is I'm a sucker for lips that taste of vanilla and milky bars like MAC gives me.

Why We're Here
Earlier today, Tami Moore briefly described her travel from Wisconsin to Texas and back over the weekend just past. She's come to the conclusion that if she traveled more than once a year, an e-reader of some stripe would be very, very high on her "gotta have it!" list.
Tami listed a few reasons, however, for not getting an e-reader "right now." Included in her list were digital rights management (DRM) (i.e., copy protection) and conflicting formats. In a rather lengthy comment, I addressed those two issues:
First, DRM. I'm convinced the "d" stands for devil. Enough said.
I do like your idea of tagging a digital media item (e-book, song, movie, audiobook) with a meta-tag to indicate who the owner is. And the idea of expiring a loaned item (with the ability to electronically/digitally "renew" the loan) should not be too difficult to implement. (Who knows? The idea may be patentable!) That sort of flexibility in DRM I'd be willing to back.
Second point, format wars. I have run across the occasional article discussing Amazon's attempts to have authors (or publishers; not positive which, but I believe it's authors, in order to bypass publishers) commit to exclusive electronic distribution via Amazon (and by extension, of course, the Kindle).
THIS IS BAD. It's bad for a lot of reasons, that could fill several magazine-article-length blog posts. We're already seeing some of that. Currently on my Android smartphone, I have no less than four (FOUR!!) e-reader apps: Kindle (Amazon), Kobo (e-pub format), Barnes & Noble, and Borders. All of them have different native formats. What the…?
Of course, I could download to my computer, and convert to PDF (or, God forbid, .txt or .rtf), and use a single reader. Umm…so much for the "convenience" factor.
Can you imagine, back in the days of vinyl records—okay, let's be a bit more contemporary: CDs—if every studio (RCA, Capitol, Sony, Motown, Apple, A&M, etc.) encoded the discs differently, requiring a different CD player for each label?
"One format to bind them, one format to rule them all!"
In this article, I want to expand a bit on some of my comments at Tami's blog.
Some Thoughts on DRM
First, I want to establish that I am strongly and irrevocably in favor of copyright, and the right of creative individuals—artists, authors, inventors (whose works are covered by patents, not copyrights), movie-makers, and musicians—to benefit from their works. Unlicensed copying and distribution, outside of fair use, is bad. In fact, it's evil.1, 2
That said, I'm also a strong believer in and proponent of fair use of copyrighted materials. Just as I can buy a book at Borders and loan, or give, it to anyone I wish to, I should be able to do the same thing with digital media. I'm not talking about "archival copying," and using the fiction that by uploading my iTunes library with a peer-to-peer (P2P) I'm archiving my songs to many off-site locations. I'm talking about transferring an e-book, for example, to Tami, without retaining a copy myself. After all, if I send her my paperback copy of Jim C. Hines's The Stepsister Scheme, I can't keep the same book here in my house. (Yeah, I could use my scanner…no, we aren't even going there.)
As I stated above, it shouldn't be that hard to include a meta-tag on digital media to allow us to transfer the item to another device, without violating the spirit and intent of copyright law. I freely release that idea into the public domain. Furthermore, and even more importantly, such transfers should be mundane, without any concern about whether I'm violating copyright. No one's ever (successfully) argued we shouldn't do that with books (after all, that's the whole premise of public libraries!); why can't more modern media be used in the same manner?
"One Format to Rule Them All!"
The second point I want to expand on is the problem of various e-book formats. Pick a reader, and it has its own proprietary format: Amazon's Kindle, Sony, Nook from Barnes and Noble (B&N), and Borders's Kobo. (There are also several e-readers available for the various smartphone operating systems, as well as downloadable to Linux, OS X, and Windows. Most of those support the EPUB format, which is also supported by some or all of the more proprietary platforms.)
So in addition to the DRM issues discussed above, we're faced with the choice of which e-reader, and thus, which format to give our allegiance to. Amazon has certainly earned its premier place in the marketplace by virtue of "getting there first." Arguably, however, it also has the best product. So, it has a lot going for it. Now, however, it's started to obtain exclusive electronic distribution rights, and is endeavoring to lock in more authors.
Without going too far afield from the original thesis, this action by Amazon could drive a huge change in "traditional" publishing: Amazon is attempting to sew up deals with authors (either via their agents or directly), thereby bypassing the publishing houses. Obviously, the ramifications of this are huge, not just for authors and publishers, but for distributors, including B&N, Borders, Apple (via the Apple Store), and, presumably, Google, which is working on its own online bookstore.
Currently, all of the e-readers I mentioned above, with the exception of Sony's, are available in mobile versions, at least for the Android mobile operating system. However, as nice as it is to read an e-book on my Droid-X, there's no question that readability is considerably enhanced on any of the other dedicated readers, or Apple's iPad, given their larger screens. The X has a 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen; the smaller Kindle, for example, sports a 6-inch screen. However, on my phone, I can easily purchase and read a book from any or all of Amazon, Borders, or B&N. If you have a Kindle, you can't even download a book from Borders, much less read it. And yes, you can download to your computer, reformat to Adobe PDF or EPUB, then try to get it onto your non-Kindle reader…but doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of "effortless"?
It's hard to separate the issue of exclusive distribution from the issue of competing-and-not-equal formats, but for the sake of argument, let's assume the former is not an issue. Now let's say you want to buy Tami's just-released first novel.3 Her publisher negotiated deals with Amazon, Borders, and B&N, so you have your choice of formats, just in case you only have one e-reader. However, Borders is selling the electronic version for the same price that Amazon's selling the paperback version (no free shipping, unfortunately), which happens to be $3 less than either Amazon or B&N is charging for the e-book. Unfortunately, your e-reader is B&N's Nook.
To put it baldly: You're screwed.
E-book formats: "There can be only one!"
Yep: You're screwed.
Now let's go back to the point I originally made in response to Tami's blog article: What if, "back in the day," record labels each used their own proprietary encoding for CDs? In other words, your old-school Sony Walkman could only play CDs from Sony Music. You'd need another for Columbia, a third for RCA, and if you were lucky, only a fourth for smaller and independent labels. Napster would never have survived as long as it did, if it were leveling that playing field!
Remember VHS vs. Betamax? HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray? Do you see where I'm going with this? In the words of Highlander, "There can be only one!" Format, that is. Eventually, this market should shake out, and either a formal or de facto standard e-book format will emerge. It may be EPUB, it may be Amazon, or it may be something altogether different. In the meantime, I think I'll just stick to keeping a bunch of e-readers on my phone.
- And all you P2Pers who get infected by viruses, spyware, keyloggers (and as a result get your WoW accounts hacked), I have absolutely no sympathy for you. *cough* Let me return you to our original rant. ↩
- Incidentally, the US Library of Congress just loosened up some of the restrictions on "fair-use" copying, "jailbreaking," and the like. A huge step in the right direction away from some of the more draconian provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). ↩
- DISCLAIMER: To my knowledge, Tami doesn't have an agent. She isn't close to publishing a novel, or anything else, to the best of my knowledge. I have no earthly idea whether she would agree to any of the actions I've ascribed to her for the purposes of these examples. I do believe that at some point in the future, she will (a) have an agent; (b) sell a novel. ↩

MIDDLEBURY — Police are looking for the assistance from the public to find out who shot a dog off Airport Road in East Middlebury last Monday night.
Middlebury police received a report that Michael Breitigan was walking his dog at around 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 3 when a shot from a rifle came through the trees and struck his four-year-old Rottweiler, Bobo.

MIDDLEBURY — Harper Smith of Middlebury liked drawing and painting and she has been doing it since she was very young. So it was not surprising when last year, as an eighth-grader at Middlebury Union Middle School, she entered one of her drawings into a contest.
What was surprising to Smith, now 14 and a freshman at Middlebury Union High School, is that her drawing is now being sold all over Vermont.
I'm old enough that I sometimes look back on days gone by and wistfully express my longing for times past.
Well, I guess you don't have to be too terribly old to do that. I've heard my eight- and 10-year-olds deliver a significant pause and a hint of a sigh after recalling how things were back in the day, back when "Mawci" and "Dawci" would take the preschoolers at Mary Johnson out to play in the kiddie pool on hot summer days.
Knowing that presidential candidate Mitt Romney would release his income tax returns this week, I was prepared to write a column pointing out that the Massachusetts Republican was not one of us. We all knew he was rich, but how rich?
Then I saw the numbers and it gave me pause. Sure, "Willard" (as it says on his 1040 tax return) Romney is a millionaire several times over. But the numbers I'm talking about are the ones provided by other candidates.

In the storyline, Bobby Roode is serving a suspension from Impact Wrestling because he confronted MVP, who recently turned heel. Apparently, that suspension could be ending soon, as the longtime TNA star is being advertised for Slammiversary 2014 weekend. He does not have a match, but there is a very good chance that he could be making his on screen return that evening.

Unique, and Awesome. While they are mobile, they are the best meals on wheels haha. They do catering if my memory serves properly
A mobile smoker + a trailer + a folding table in a parking lot = the best BBQ in Gillette, WY.
The meat was tender and the sauce was delicious. Not too much sauce, either - not sloppy, not messy - just the right amount, as you expect. It was an accent TO the BBQ and not the BBQ itself,...

Kishore Jayabalan, Director of Istituto Acton in Rome, was tapped by BBC World News last week for his analysis of the meeting between Pope Francis and President Obama at the Vatican. We've got the video, and you can watch it below.
At the Heritage Foundation's Foundry blog, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal talks with Genevieve Wood about challenges he faces from the Obama administration on Second Amendment rights, energy development, economic freedom and religious liberty issues.
Days after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in two religious liberty cases challenging an Obamacare mandate, Jindal said he found the government's actions troubling. "America didn't create religious liberty. Religious liberty created America," he said. "It's very dangerous for the federal government to presume they know better."

But a new study finds that when it comes to willingness to extend basic civil liberties to people who hold views with which one disagrees, homeschooled students are more tolerant than their peers:
Scholar Albert Cheng's just-published fascinating and provocative study provides one of the first solid portions of empirical evidence about whether the homeschooled become more or less politically intolerant than others.[3] The researcher's purpose was to compare college students from different school types – public school, private school, and homeschool – by analyzing political tolerance outcomes. That is, are students from any particular school background more or less politically tolerant than others? Political tolerance is "… defined as the willingness to extend basic civil liberties to political or social groups that hold views with which one disagrees" (p. 49).
Cheng used an instrument (e.g., a questionnaire) called the "content-controlled political tolerance scale." In its first of two parts, the "… scale provides the respondent with a list of popular social and political groups, such as Republicans, gay-rights activists, or fundamentalist Christians. The respondent is asked to select the group with beliefs that he opposes the most … The second part of the political tolerance scale measures the respondent's willingness to extend basic civil liberties to members of his least-liked group" (p. 55). Participants were asked to respond to items such as the following:
1. "The government should be able to tap the phones of [the least-liked group]."
2. "Books that are written by members of the [the least-liked group] should be banned from the public library."
3. "I would allow members of [the least-liked group] to live in my neighborhood." (p. 60)
With this scale, he studied students at a private university in the western United States. These students came from a variety of schooling and racial/ethnic backgrounds.
The study found that "those [college students] with more exposure to homeschooling relative to public schooling tend to be more politically tolerant."

In this short talk, Rev. Robert A. Sirico, co-founder and president of the Acton Institute, offers some general observations about this week's meeting between President Obama and Pope Francis at the Vatican, and reflects on the differences in philosophy that make a Presidential/Papal alliance such as what occurred during the time of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II unlikely.
Many who reject capitalism in favor of some "third way" do so because they often mistake it for government-corporate cronyism, says Jonathan Witt in this week's Acton Commentary. But in countries that have begun extending true economic freedom to the masses, capitalist activity has already lifted hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty.
Happily, a new piece in The Economist magazine offers some helpful medicine for the confusion, insisting on the distinction between cronyism and capitalism while also pointing to some hopeful signs that a rising middle class around the globe is gaining the clout to fight the power structures that still wall millions out of the wealth creation game. My reservation about the article is that it misreads America's Progressive era, and in the process, leaves cronyism's favorite trick unexposed.
According to the piece, crony capitalism in America "reached its apogee in the late 19th century, and a long and partially successful struggle against robber barons ensued. Antitrust rules broke monopolies such as John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil. The flow of bribes to senators shrank." Later, it tells readers that while developing countries are making progress against cronyism, "governments need to be more assiduous in regulating monopolies."

Note: This is an update and addition to two previous posts, "Explainer: What's Going on in Ukraine?" and "What Just Happened with Russia and Ukraine?."
So what just happened in Crimea?
On Sunday, Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to break with Ukraine and join Russia. Today Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty making Crimea part of Russia (it was a former satellite state of the Soviet Union). Putin says he does not plan to seize any other regions of Ukraine.
Why would Russia want to annex Crimea?
In 1997, Crimea and Russia signed a treaty allowing Russia to maintain their naval base at Sevastopol, on Crimea's southwestern tip (the lease is good through 2042). The base is Russia's primary means of extending military force through the Mediterranean. (The Black Sea is connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosphorus Straits.) Without a military base in Crimea, Russia would be weakened as a global military power.
Earlier this month Russia's parliment authorized a Putin to use the military on Crimea. (Technically, Russia's parliament authorized Russia's military forces to enter "Ukraine," giving themselves a legal cloak to target more than Crimea.)
Where (and what) exactly is Crimea?
Edwin Edwards once declared that the only thing that could keep him from Louisiana's governor's mansion was getting caught in bed with a "dead girl or a live boy." He's been called "The Luca Brasi of the Bayou," "The Silver Zipper," and "The Pirate Kingfish." When Edwards ran against and trounced former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in the 1988 governor's race, he had bumper stickers printed up that read, "Vote for the Crook. It's Important." He then declared that the only thing he had in common with Duke was "that we are both wizards under the sheets."
Edwards, a convicted felon, who just three years ago was released from federal prison for conviction on seventeen charges that included extortion, racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering, wire fraud, and mail fraud. Edwards, who was notoriously corrupt, was under investigation for decades. After his conviction, Edwards quipped, "I will be a model prisoner as I was a model citizen."
He's tried without success to secure a pardon from President Barack Obama to run for governor of Louisiana, a position the 86 year old is not eligible to hold for 15 years because of his criminal record. However, he's eligible to run for U.S. Congress, and declared his candidacy yesterday.
Edwards, a life long Democrat, has lived a fascinating if not surreal life in Louisiana politics. There may be no politician that is a better model for Lord Acton's famous dictum, "power corrupts." Edwards however, is still loved by large segments of Louisiana's population. Agnes Brouilette, his mother, was pure Cajun French. As some have said of Edwards in Louisiana, "Un de nous autres." He's one of us. His charm and mastery of retail politics is renowned.
On Monday, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) held an all-night, 14-hour pajama party in Washington. In between the truth-and-dare games, hair braiding, karaoke and candy and soda binging, Sen. Reid dropped this bombshell: He's not a fan of the brothers Koch, billionaires Charles and David. Nor does he think much of anyone who disagrees with him on the issue of climate change. In fact, Reid refers to anyone who doesn't buy into the whole human-caused global warming shebang as … ahem, and my apologies in advance to all those who survived or know a survivor of the Holocaust … a denier:
'It's time to stop acting like those who ignore this crisis — the oil baron Koch brothers and their allies in Congress — have a valid point of view,' he said. 'But despite overwhelming scientific evidence and overwhelming public opinion, climate change deniers still exist. They exist in this country and in this Congress.'
'Climate change is real,' he said, stabbing the air for emphasis. 'It's here.'
In this, Sen. Reid joins the wide network of religious shareholder activists who cavil endlessly about the liberal bête noire trifecta: Kochs, Citizens United and climate change. A quick scan of the As You Sow and Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility websites reveals numerous resolutions related to all three topics. One wonders if you'll hear a peep from them regarding Tom Steyer's announcement that he would match up to $50 million in donations to his NextGen Climate Political Action Committee. (more…)
Daniel Hannan, Member of the European Parliament and writer, says he believes the European Union is "making its peoples poorer, less democratic and less free." In the short video below, he explains why, when it comes to government, smaller is better.
What is the President's budget?
Technically, it's only a budget request—a proposal telling Congress how much money the President believes should be spent on the various Cabinet-level federal functions, like agriculture, defense, education, etc.
Why does the President submit a budget to Congress?
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires that the President of the United States submit to Congress, on or before the first Monday in February of each year, a detailed budget request for the coming federal fiscal year, which begins on October 1.
If it's due the first Monday in February, why are we just now hearing about it?
President Obama turned in his budget late—again. This will be Obama's fifth late budget submission in five years, making him the first President to present three consecutive late budgets. According to the House Budget Committee, "All presidents from Harding to Reagan's first term met the statutory budget submission deadline in every year." Reagan and Clinton both missed their deadlines once in eight years.
What is the function of the President's budget request?
The President's annual budget request serves three functions:

Today's Lead:Comptroller to Opt Out of Public Financing System by David Howard King, Apr 07, 2014 Twitter State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli will not take part in the campaign campaign financing system that was created in the state budget that only applies to his race for this year. DiNapoli has long urged lawmakers to use his office as a test for such a system but he says the current proposal was rushed, poorly designed and that neither Gov. Andrew Cuomo or legislative leaders bothered to call him while they worked out the details for the program. "What they did is take something well-intentioned," DiNapoli told The New York Times, "and hijacked it for their own short-term purposes, very much at my expense."

Leaf Peeping on Lithium
A Mountain Biking video by adub - 3,834 views
With winter looming in Jackson Hole, I went out to get a downhill lap on the Lithium trail on Teton Pass before any more snow piled up. One awesome evening lap lead to another the next morning...which in turn brought on a few more laps throughout the week. A few hundred bike-hike intervals later with my GoPros and I've got solid documentation of one of the best downhill trails in the US (in my humble opinion!).
A big thanks to Courtney and Willie for joining me on a few of the outings.
A huge thanks to Teton Freedom Riders and all the volunteers that have put in time on the trail system around Jackson.
I'm riding an Ibis Mojo HD mounted with a Fox Talas 180 up front and a RC4 Coil shock in the rear.
The video is shot entirely with GoPro Hero HD cameras. Looking forward to checking out the new Hero2.
