Startup News: Bat Haus Brings Coworking to Bushwick and Tech Launch Announces its Inaugural Class
Summer love Do you ever find yourself wishing that couples therapy was cheaper? Well, here's an app that claims to be just as effective, and for only $7.95 a month (limited time only). Couplewise combines digital interactive versions to cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and research from leading cognitive behavioral therapists as well as crowdsourcing the wisdom of other couples "who have been there." The company claims that 79 percent of their beta users say that their relationship has improved as a result of the app, and none say it has worsened—what are you waiting for?
Attention freelancers Coworking has come to Bushwick with Bat Haus, a new community office space open to freelancers of all disciplines. The space opened last month and has apparently been hosting art groups, writing meetups and fashion shoots. If its sunny decor doesn't seal the deal, they also have a backyard with a grill and potlucks for members. Full time membership is $275 a month, part-time $175, and it's $15 for a day pass.

I'm already getting jittery for tonight's game. I will probably make myself a vanilla Italian soda and curl up in my living room with the television and cross my fingers and hope for a magical unicorn to come and save the day for the Giants. But for those of you who are not as anti-social about baseball as I am, I thought today would be a good day to get into the best spots to watch games. My favorites:
Right around the stadium, there are the usual suspects: The Public House, which is nestled pretty much inside the park, but also accessible from outside. It's packed to the brim during games, but the energy is as intense as it is inside, so it's pretty crazy and a lot of fun. Down the street, there's the always wonderful hole-in-the-wall, Red's Java House, which is right on the pier and although I've never been, I've heard only good things about21st Amendment. If you like Italian food (and who doesn't?) Zero Zerois a wonderful and convenient spot and if you like to club and watch games, Bottom of the Hill at – you guessed it! – the bottom of Potrero Hill is a bit out of the way, but completely worth it. They make a mean black bean hummus, too. In the East Bay, there's a lovely 50s style diner called Oscar's and not only do they play Giants games, but they have a banner as tall as me (which isn't saying much, but still) for the championship team of 2010 and they wear Giants gear while they fry the french fries before your eyes, need I really say more?
There you have it, America!
As for the North and South Bay, I'm completely clueless so you guys will have to help me with that one. Comments, people, comments! If nothing else, it will get your head off of what is to come tonight and after a morning of tweeting #ReplaceSongLyricsWithBarryZito, we all need it.
One last note… for recommendations for all sorts of spectacular and weird things to do around the Bay Area, follow the hashtag on Twitter #HeyLets. It's an app that's going to launch any time now and in the meantime, there's lots to see on Twitter. If you want to know about all my weird proclivities for Portuguese music and pumpkin lattes – who are we kidding, you already know about that – that's where to see 'em.
Rally Zito. I am amped and feeling pre-tty optimistic at the moment. In other news, Italian food sounds really good.

...wow. This is kindda sad, and enough to make me want to cry...... ok not really, but it is really, really sad.
Screw the Doom of Valyria, what about the Doom of the West Coast? What the hell has happend out here? Is Threat still going strong?

We're still going. Recovering from the holidays, but should be up and running next week like normal.
"words are like arrows, once loosened you cannot call them back"
Posted 23 January 2009 - 06:39 AM
Nice to see some folks still playing out there.
I don't know if Jen and I will ever be playing again. It's not hate for all the changes to the game, we'd probably like to just too much going on over here. Our schedules are still adjusting to having Jen's daughter with us full time, and the current economic effects on work and associated schedules there has pretty much killed any free time we have. Have yet to have even picked up the new Core Set or any of the packs, but I have been looking at em online and even itching a bit to see just what ideas I might be able to whip up out of them.
So yeah, just saying hi, and that we're here and mostly well. Not playing right now, and probably won't soon, but hopefully eventually. I doubt I can stay away forever. Just have to see what happens. We both miss seeing you all though, we've had some good times.
Posted 23 January 2009 - 11:30 AM
Hey everyone! Rave reporting for duty.
Adan, you just made me shed a tear. Just so you know, I'm ALWAYS down for Raven, or whatever online madness you've got going on.
Anybody playing Valkyria Chronicles for PS3? If not, check it out, you tabletop war miniature guys will especially dig it.
Heck, anyone playing ANYTHING on the playstation network?
Good to see some old faces on here BTW.
Posted 29 January 2009 - 02:27 PM
It does bring a possible tear to my eye considering that we've probably had the longest threads in AGoT board history.
Oh well. Things happen.

Just an FYI - I should be at Kubla this year, and would still love to see people!

I would love to be there, but since AGoT is the only game I play, that seriously depends on if the Threat guys decide to run AGoT at Kubla this year or not. Last I heard, they were leaning toward not doing it. With out powers combined, perhaps we can convince them into action?
Either way, I'll come visit you when you hold your regional and try to drag cha0s and a few others with me.
Posted 04 February 2009 - 03:20 PM
I am thinking about running something if no one else does as well. Nothing like Mr. Math would do, but Kubla could really be a good place to get new players.
Get some of SacTown going...they got nothing better to do
Posted 04 February 2009 - 06:26 PM
Awesome... I'll see if I can stir up some interest down here as well. While everyone down here is pissed at FFG, some still have a soft spot in their hearts for the game and the friends.
Posted 20 February 2009 - 10:24 AM
Man this game not dead yet? *looks around* It seems that way to me. Oh Oh Rings you should run FMA! or if we do a AGoT, Do Classic would be nice, none of this new LCG bunch of bull. Heh they need to change that to a DCG, Dying card game. LoL
Posted 02 March 2009 - 10:04 AM
@Rings -- Love to buy you a drink at Kubla!! I will be there Friday evening, and Sunday...Maybe Monday... I have to work Saturday...
@STM guys -- I'm going to be in SacTown for a training course March 9-11, 2009. GEG is running Clix and WM/Hordes those nights -- none of which I've played in over 2 years. It would be great to get together for a bite or a drink (I'll buy the first roud) and maybe even a game of something or other... I can even bring my GW mini stuff...
email me: adan "at" berkeley "dot" edu
Posted 28 March 2009 - 01:23 PM
Well whats up boys long time no see, i'm really thinking of playing at kubla, i just really need to sit down a brush up on rules and cycled cards. I hope to bring a little rep for the STM to kubla but i can pretty much garuntee we wont be seeing anyone else aside from mabey Brando there.
Posted 30 March 2009 - 09:10 PM
Get Jesse to go, dammit - and Rave since he owes us one for the car mishap or whatever
Would love to see people.
Alan - great to hear you will be there! Running Potter by any chance?
Come on Sactowners...let's rock!
Posted 03 April 2009 - 04:34 AM
Wow, seems like a lot has happened since I was last around. Well, thought I'd pop in because I had a random urge to actually start playing again now that I have free time... and because Kubla is right around the corner. Would be cool to see some old friends again, but it looks like we've pretty much all disappeared. What's this LCG nonsense about too?
Posted 03 April 2009 - 05:13 AM
Just and FYI but Mr. Letum has defected from the Threat meta and now lives in Sactown. Maybe he can get something going up there!?!?
Posted 06 April 2009 - 07:19 PM
Hey all! Don't worry, I plan on making it to Kubla to see you guys. If at the very least just sunday, if I can't get the time off for the rest of the weekend.
I probably wont have a deck, but I'm down to play whatever you guys have got!
I haven't been doing much game oriented lately, but I have been creating this cardgame based on Final Fantasy that I'll bring down to show you guys. I've got a blog on it too, that I've just started if anyone is interested in hearing more about it. (at fftcg.blogspot.com)
Anyone have want for the cards that were legal right before the switch to LCG? I was planning on ebaying mine, but I can hang onto them to cheaply sell to one of you guys at the con if you want them.
Anyone here play Warhammer Fantasy, I want to watch you play if you do!

The mini's, I've had this itch to play some tabletop games lately, but I just can't get into any of the 40K factions (and I don't really have the funds to play either, right now)
I'd be down to see the CCG though, I didn't even know there was one.
It'll be good to see you too! It's been some time.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- Thursday, March 17, 2005. Contact Bob Brammer -- 515-281-6699.
DES MOINES. Thousands of consumers from all 50 states may be entitled to a cash recovery based on their out-of-pocket expenses from purchasing the prescription antidepressant drug "Remeron" and its generic equivalent, "Mirtazapine," between June 15, 2001, and January 25, 2005.
"We urge Iowans who purchased Remeron and Mirtazapine to get information and file a claim no later than June 13, 2005," said Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller.
Consumers may call toll-free to 1-866-401-6807 or visit the settlement website at www.RemeronSettlement.com for information and claim forms. The address is: Remeron Antitrust Settlement, c/o Complete Claim Solutions, Inc., P.O. Box 24769, West Palm Beach, Florida 33416.
The cash recovery program is a result of a $36 million nationwide settlement with drug maker Organon USA Inc. and its parent company, Akzo Nobel N.V., for improperly monopolizing the U.S. market for the drugs.
"The states alleged the defendants abused the regulatory scheme to stifle competition and prevent consumers from having access to low-cost, generic equivalents of the drug," Miller said.
The states' lawsuit alleged that Organon unlawfully extended its monopoly by improperly listing a new "combination therapy" patent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The complaint also alleged that Organon delayed listing the patent with the FDA in another effort to delay the availability of lower-cost generic substitutes. This resulted in higher prices for the drug. At its peak, Remeron was Organon's top-selling drug, with annual sales in excess of $400 million. (The safety or effectiveness of Remeron was not an issue.)
Iowa also will be among states receiving money for damages incurred by the Medicaid program. Recovery also is available for third-party payors, such as health insurance plans.
The settlement, which is subject to final approval by the court, will resolve both claims brought by state attorneys general and a private class action brought on behalf of a class of end payors. The matter is pending in U.S. District Court for New Jersey. Complete Claim Solutions, Inc., of West Palm Beach, Florida, is assisting the States as claims administrator for the settlement.
The States also launched a nationwide consumer notification campaign today to alert consumers of the settlement and claims process, using advertising in publications such a Readers Digest, Parade and USA Today. The states also have enlisted pharmacists and psychiatrists for assistance with notification.
Consumers wanting claim forms and more information about the settlement may call toll-free to 1-866-401-6807 or visit the settlement website at www.RemeronSettlement.com. Eligible consumers must file claim forms with the administrator postmarked no later than June 13, 2005, in order to be eligible for a possible refund. The address is: Remeron Antitrust Settlement, c/o Complete Claim Solutions, Inc., P.O. Box 24769, West Palm Beach, Florida 33416. The same deadline applies to consumers completing the form online at www.RemeronSettlement.com.
Payment amounts are expected to be a percentage of the price paid and will depend on the numbers of claimants and how much an individual claimant paid for Remeron or Mirtazapine.
Affected consumers who do not wish to remain part of the settlement class must exclude themselves in writing on or before April 27, 2005. Information on "opting-out" of the settlement also is available at the settlement website or by calling the toll-free number. Consumers who want to receive money from the settlement should not opt out.

skin 5 jean - used black
by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Libya: Former Libyan leader Moamar Gadhafi is dead. After the
congratulations and celebratory mood recedes, there remain serious issues
in the country. Is the NTC truly the "sole legitimate representative of
the Libyan people"? STRATFOR no longer believes the NTC can be used to
describe all of the anti-Gadhafi groupings, but are any of these groupings
on the verge of outright severing ties with the NTC? What are the various
elements seeking power, wealth and influence in the country? Is a new
competition arising between Tripoli and Bengazi? Can the various elements
of the opposition hold together, and does their competition degrade into
conflict? Who controls oil contracts? How are western powers dealing with
the loss of weapons, particularly surface to air missiles, from Gadhafi*s
Israel/Palestinian Territories: The Shalit trade has been effected. The
actions of Hamas to strike the deal, rather than to try and exacerbate
tensions with Israel amid the Fatah attempt to gain legitimacy in the
United Nations, requires us to continue to reassess the status of the
Palestinians, and their views not only of Israel, but the regional
situation. In particular, we need to look at Hamas* views of Egypt, and
the relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian military.
Inside the Palestinian territories, how does this impact Fatah, and its
political strength? What are the counter-moves by Fatah? Now that the deal
is done, what are the implications on the internal balance of Israeli
Iraq: U.S. President Barak Obama has announced that U.S. forces will
complete their withdrawal from Iraq by the end of the year. How is this
perceived in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states? What are the next
steps for Iran regarding its influence and projection of power into Iraq?
The Syrian regime appears to be holding despite domestic protests. The
U.S. withdrawal would seem to pave the way for a continuous arc of Iranian
influence through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. What options do the Saudis and
the Turks see to address this? What actions are they preparing, if any?
Europe: French President Nicolas Sarkozy*s last minute trip to Frankfurt
combined with Germany*s announcement that additional Eurozone and EU27
summits beyond those taking place this weekend would be necessary before a
solution to the financial crisis could be announced indicate two things:
one, that the Europeans are serious about devising a plan to address the
Continent*s financial crisis and, two, that Germany and France have
heretofore failed to come to a consensus on what that plan is. Whatever
the solution, we need to start shifting our attention away from the
financial details, which are becoming increasingly meaningless, and
concentrate on understanding the political consequences of the crisis in
Europe. Identify the political and social vulnerabilities across the
Continent. How susceptible are individual states to radicalizing forces?
Where is nationalist sentiment the strongest? Where is social tolerance
the weakest? Which countries have the institutional strength to administer
and withstand massive economic restructuring? Europe has been experiencing
political cycles since the Magna Carter; this is just the latest chapter.
We need an assessment of these variables in each member state so we can
identify the potential breakpoints.


text: Attorney General's Office Encourages Gasoline RefundsA statement of the Attorney General's Office, Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001: We believe the gas situation has stabilized in Iowa. Consumer demand and consumer confidence have returned to normal, and gas prices have returned to near-normal levels all over Iowa. Today we are focusing on refunds. We are encouraging gas sellers who raised prices very substantially on Tuesday to offer a refund to customers, and we are encouraging consumers to return to retailers and ask for a refund if they were the victims of unjustified high prices. Retailers are telling us that they are offering refunds. We urge consumers to present a receipt or credit card copy showing details of the purchase, but we also encourage consumers to request a refund even if they do not have such paper records. Consumers who are denied a refund may wish to file a complaint with the Iowa Attorney General's Office. Call 515-281-5807 to request a complaint form, or send e-mail to email@example.com. Background: The Attorney General's Office yesterday dedicated 8-10 persons to make calls or visits to stations that had been reported to charge prices at high levels after the attacks Tuesday morning. Citizen calls about such stations came directly to the Attorney General's Office and also to the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources. By late Wednesday, our observations included the following: We believe most retailers did not raise prices after the attack. (However, rumors of huge price increases ran ahead of reality, and helped spark long lines at gas stations Tuesday evening.) Very sharp price increases were observed at a relatively small number of Iowa stations. A few price increases were in the $3 and $4 range. Finally, we believe that all or virtually all of the big price spikes had been retracted by Wednesday morning, and prices have returned to near-normal levels. Consumer confidence and consumer demand have returned to normal as well. Today, we have received numerous reports of gas sellers offering refunds to consumers. - 30 - Attorney General Home | News Release Home |

Intel insists that its project to make low-cost laptops for school children in poorer nations began nearly three years ago, before it heard of Nicholas Negroponte's initiative, One Laptop Per Child.
It scarcely matters much anymore, now that the jawing between the two camps has subsided, after Intel agreed to join the One Laptop Per Child Foundation last month.
University College London (UCL) has launched an ambitious plan to boost its private funding by creating a new commercial science department that it hopes will entice top international researchers.
The department plans to hire up to 15 new researchers who would boost the university's private funding. So far, the department has enticed five research-active academics from top-tier universities including Cambridge, Stanford and Cornell.
Steve Currall, professor of enterprise and the management of innovation at University College London, has been appointed to nTAG, the Nanotechnology Technical Advisory Group, which advises the US President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Public attitudes toward nanotechnology are currently pretty neutral. It's up to government and the media to provide realistic assessments of risks and rewards
Nanotechnology has been around for years, but the general public is just beginning to learn about it. While many other emerging technologies have been boldly presented to the world's consumers (for instance, genetically modified food), nanotechnology remains something of an enigma.

Interesting how you guys are really big on the battery replacement thing. It has never been an issue for me both on tablets and phones. I think over the past 13 years since I started carrying around a cell phone, I think I only replaced a battery on one of those phones.
Even though the battery may be the weakest link, it will still takes a few years for the battery to start screwing up and usually by that time it will be time upgrade to a new tablet.
I wasn't planning on upgrading to a new tablet every year. I tend to keep things if they work. But, you have a point for those who do plan to upgrade each year.

His wife, Rebecca, said this morning that he was finally doing well enough to come home after lengthy hospital stays in SkyRidge Medical Center and Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga.
Family attorney Richard Banks said it was his understanding that doctors were performing a medical procedure "and he just never came out of it."
Banks, who represented McKenzie through bankruptcy in 2009, described McKenzie's life story as one of rags to riches to rags again.
"If you put all the good things he did for people on one side of the scale and the few bad things he did on the other side, the good things would outweigh the bad," he said. "He needs to be memorialized somehow for that."
McKenzie took pride in the fact that he escaped an impoverished childhood in East Cleveland, but he returned to his old neighborhood in April 2006 to contribute $250,000 for a park.
He said then that not much had changed in the neighborhood since he quit his paper route in 1979. At that time, he said he was the largest newspaper carrier in the state with a total of 2,200 customers. He delivered the Chattanooga Times in the morning and the Cleveland Daily Banner in the afternoon. In his last year as a carrier, he said he earned $90,000.
Of his old east Cleveland neighborhood, he said in 2006, "About half the people here want to get out and the other half can't. The half that can't are still here. A lot of them imagine I'm still their paper carrier, and I just love it when I hear that."
From newspaper carrier, McKenzie started and sold two rent-to-own chains with 46 stores each. He then built a check cashing chain of 700 stores and sold it.
"That was the early days of check cashing," he said. "I was the first one in that. I've been doing real estate since then."
In April 2006, he had returned to the check cashing, but not in his hometown, he said.
His fortunes changed and he was forced into bankruptcy in November 2008, with ownership in more than 100 businesses and debt of about $150 million. He emerged from bankruptcy in August 2009 in poor health and three failing bowling alleys.
His health has continued to decline since then. Banks said McKenzie was in SkyRidge for about 30 days and in Erlanger for about 48 days before he died.

Your Sound Equipment
Posted 24 January 2012 - 05:03 PM
You don't have to follow my format, but provide as much information as you possibly can - good AND bad. If it's an older product no longer available you can glance over it or provide as much as you want. Feel free to interupt the flow to ask people for additional info on something ...after all, that is the point of this topic. So basically, you can discuss as much as you want.
Though I would really love to see some good participation. From posts I've seen around the board I think we could get a well rounded line up sound setups. It's not limited to PCs either. It's open to the whole music sound system realm - from ipods to car audio to home theater on up.
Posted 24 January 2012 - 05:19 PM
I blew one of the amplifier chips in my receiver (Pioneer SX-780), otherwise I'd be running a pair of Sony U542AVs through that when not using the headphones.
For a hodgepodge setup it sounded pretty awesome, all for free too.
If you see the cops - LEAVE.
If the cops are coming - Don't be there.
If you show up and the cops are already there - DISAPPEAR.
Anyplace the cops are and you aren't, is a good day

Names are links btw
Sennheiser HD 438
- Headphones
- 32 ohms
- 112 db
In a word: horrible. That is the best way I can describe these. Where's the bass?! Rock music sounds completely flat. So many of the beats are completely missing when it comes to Trance/Electronica you wonder why you even like your favorite songs. I definitely hear the Sennheiser veil that audiophiles talk about with this headphone. I'm no audiophile but it is that apparant. It's like a photo that has had a photoshop filter to it where someone's face looks unnaturally smooth. It's the best I can describe it since I don't know the proper lingo.
I've tried it straight from an iPod, straight from a computer and with a Fiio E11 hooked up - both on PC and iPod. The Fiio brought some life to it but it completely just over powered the HD 438s. The E11 has a setting for both low and high impedance headphones. I am guessing the high sound pressure (112db) worked against it. It would make a breath drag on longer than it should have. It also made a breath over shadow everything else.
Great, I can wear them for hours with no problems. By far my most comfortable pair of headphones.
Overall: (2 / 10)
I honestly don't know how these headphones get favorable reviews. The comfort level is the only good thing about them.
Harman Kardon SoundSticks II
- 2.1 Desktop Speakers
When I first got them I thought they sounded ok though I wasn't floored with them. Now I would say they are great for gaming but kinda lame for music. Games sound great and have good depth. You can easily tell which direction a noise came from and about how far away it is. So BF3, Skyrim, etc I love 'em. When it comes to music however, it is TOO bright. It misses quite a few of the beats especially in regards to trance/electronica making it sound fluffed over. Makes rock sound a bit too bright as well but at least it doesn't make it sound flat like Sennheisers do! Don't mess with my electric guitar dammit!
Function and Style:
The speakers take very little room on the desktop which is a plus and the base makes them the most sturdy speaker I have ever seen ...in this category. I have jumped on my desk many times and it doesn't even make these things move. The clear plastic is kinda cheesy and so is the sub with blue LEDs. I could understand the LED if it had a setting to pulse to the beat or something or if you could turn it off but no such option. The touch controls for the volume is kind of a pain ...mostly if you want to mute the sound because you have to press both buttons (Up/Down) at the exact same time with the same pressure.
Overall: (5 / 10)
I chose these due to high number of praising reviews with so many self-proclaimed 'Amazon' audiophiles saying they were the best speakers in the price range. Good and bad with these speakers. They serve a purpose. The speakers themselves look good on the desktop, take very little space and are sturdy. Sound great with games which is what I mostly use my PC for anyway. But I am not tempted to stream/pump music from my PC with these guys. I am sure they would benefit from a soundcard (which I don't have) but it would have to be one that darkens the tones.
Sony MDR-V700
- Headphones
- 24ohm
- 107db
Pretty good. Every type of music sounds good. The bass is good. I got these back when I lived in DC about 7yrs back with DJ suggesting them for my price range. While not the best nor something that I would necessarily brag about the sound quality is something I could be happy with. But it wasn't the sound quality that made me go searching for better cans.
O-o-ooooooouch! << That's the reason
Overall: (6 / 10)
I really loved these during the hayday. I remember the first time I heard NIN's Downward Spiral album a song on there starts off with someone whispering and it litterally sounded like it came from intercom. I took off the headsets because I thought someone was playing a mean joke on the intercom. Despite liking them they hurt my ears ...a lot. It came to the point I stopped using them because I refused to wear them unless my hair was extremely short and even then.
Altec Lansing (no link available)
- 2.1 Desktop Speakers
I don't even know how old these are and honestly I am embarrased to say these came from a pre-built Dell, but I thought it would be interesting to include these as a comparison to the other stuff as I find it quite surprising once I started comparing the same songs on all my options.
While they don't sound as good as the MDRs and despite being a cheapy set that came from a Dell build these are my best desktop speakers. They are a little too dark and still miss some beats it is more of the subtle beats where as the Sennheisers and Harman Kardon's miss significant beats. So I prefer to listen to music on the PC I have these hooked up to. And yes, that is comparing the same songs on the same CD.

Games sound great. I have no problem detecting my enemies while talking with my friends on comms. It does a very good job separating the two no loss in quality. Friends sound great both with in-game comms (e.g. BF3) and with Ventrilo. It took zero adjusting on my part. Friends say they hear me just fine when I talk. Normally I have to adjust settings in Ventrilo in both regards but I changed nothing from the default Ventrilo settings on a brand new computer.
Music isn't the best. It is definitely passable I think for most people. Music sounds good ...most importantly it doesn't sound boring. You can tell it is being processed by software instead of hardware as it has a thin veil on it. The bass is there but it is disconnected and overrides some of the beats. It makes me want to say to someone I would rather have less bass as long as it is clear than this type of bass. It misses beats as well, more than the Altec Lansing speakers but less than all the previous mentioned items.
Style and Function:
Well they are big and ugly. I guess that is why many like Razer products, logitech isn't exactly the brand you think of when it comes to style. Functionality is why I rate this as high as I do. In addition to proving great gaming sound and no effort comes it comes with a mic that automatically mutes itself when pushed up. An easy to find mute button just in case you want to be sure you muted the mic ...though the mic has a light that lets you know if it is muted or not. It has swappable headband pads, but despite the big size of these cans and the weight the comfort hasn't bothered me. It has 3 custom keys if you need them, though I haven't tried using them yet and a long cord.
Overall: (8 / 10)
I highly recommend these if the primary focus is gaming. These go on sale for $80-$90 a lot and for that price range it is hard to find something comparable. For music they will work for most people, though at the same time I think many people will also notice their music isn't natural. I'm impressed by how well it works to be honest, but for anyone looking for higher quality sound I recommend looking elsewhere. I'm not a fan of gaming cans for music anyway, so for now I will highly recommend to people to buy a set of nice music headphones and an attachable mic. (Zalman has one)

Well by themselves hooked up to an iPod ...kinda boring, honestly just a shade above the HD 438s. Seeing as how I went with the 250ohm version I guess that is too be expected. Connected to a PC they come alive, even with onboard sound. Immediately you find the bass and hear the clarity that these Beyers have. Hooked up with the Fiio E11 and it really gains life! Suddenly the bass has more kick and its a clear bass. You know where it is coming from and most importantly it does not overshadow any of the beats. You miss nothing with these. You will hear the grittyness of the beat the DJ put in as the singer draws a breath with bass pumping in the background. If you have no outside noise and just focus on the song, on some songs you can hear the different layers of music as they come in from different directions and converge in the middle. It makes a song that may sound boring on the previous sound platforms sound boring sound so different that it gives you chills as the beats crawl up your back.
Style / Function:
Style is ok I guess, not my thing. For a significantly higher price you can customize them on the manufacturer website. I haven't tried them with gaming as I have the G35s for that.
Overall: (10 / 10)
I love 'em! I am definitely glad I purchased the Fiio E11 to go with them as they definitely need to be driven. It's not just noticeable, it is needed. I am sure I can get even more of these with a desktop amp. I would like a Woo Audio 3 (WA3) or Schitt Valhalla but I just can't justify spending more than $400 for an amp, but the Beyers supposedly really take off with a tube amp more so than any other amp. I will probably just buy the E15/E17 when it releases to save me, but we will see.
One thing I dislike about getting into the higher quality phone scene is this need to drive them. Being an American really doesn't favor me here as most of the high quality amps ship from overseas. So outside from a couple that sell stateside, you are looking at eBay which I don't trust or some shady looking website where it ships from Europe/China. Once you step into the 600ohm game you absolutely need to buy a desktop amp like the WA3/Valhalla. I highly recommend to anyone thinking of 250 ohm and up headphones to do some research. A soundcard/amp combo may drive a 250ohm set even if not the best, but you certainly couldn't drive a 600ohm set with just a soundcard.
If you really love music and you love just sitting/laying there focusing on the beats it is SOO worth buying a really nice set of music phones. If it just something you have in the background as you do other things it may be a bit of a waste. We all multi-task but some of us can get enjoyment just listening to music and not doing anything else. A good set of music headphones is totally something worth saving for ...coming from a non-audiophile.

Work headphones: Sennheiser HD-201. I just wanted something cheap to use at work as it is just hooked up to my laptop anyway.
Home headphones: Sennheiser HD-555. Hooked up to a Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card, provides better sound than onboard. Also have a Zalman clip on microphone to talk smack in games.

SONY DAV-HDX277WC-- Nice surround sound(cant compare it to anything as its my first set). Quite imersive for movies. The bass is a little small to fill the room but the satellites sound great.
PC Speakers:
Cyber Acoustics CA-3550WB 2.1 Speakers-- Sounded good at first but are degrading quick. Sub does not turn down far enough, its either loud or off, and it requires a boosted signal to pickup at all. The satellites are cheap and plasticy the cables are coming loose and if jarred wont run. The cable is also too short. Slight depth. Better for games than music.
Sennheiser HD 202-- Comfortable, good range but lacking in the bass. No Depth. Nice for music or games.
Unkown Brand marked HD on the side-- comfortable great range for in-ears. The highs get tinny and bass is almost nonexistent but then you don't want much right in your ear.

The home theater is a hodgepodge:
Receiver: Harmon Kardon AVR 210
Front speakers: Cerwin Vega E712 Series 2
Subwoofer: Custom 6 foot tall, foundation-breaking beast - 8 cubic feet tuned to ~20 Hz with two Elemental Designs 13Ov.2.
Sub amp: Hafler DH200 built by my dad over 20 years ago
Sub preamp: Hafler DH100 also built by my dad
I nixed the center channel (a Polk CS1) and the rear speakers (Advent RS-somethings) when I realized I didn't get much out of surround sound. Great stereo is better than good surround sound IMHO. Tonal differences between fronts/center/rears can be minimized with matching speakers but I'm not giving up those Cerwin Vega towers until I die.

For headphones.. well...
Sennheiser HD-280 Pro, HD 555, PC 350 Xense edition, and CX-300. The CX-300s are strictly for travel use, since I can easily carry those in-ears with me instead of a big pair of headphones. Home use alternates between the three others, though I mostly use the PC 350 for everything. I have hooked up the HD-280s to my TV some, but I don't like the audio processor on my TV for headphones since certain sounds are really tinny.
Sound card is currently the ASUS Xonar Xense, but I also have a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD used on occasion.

The Sennheiser HD 280 is good, but not great. You get better noise cancellation with earphones, but you do get good enough bass and clarity.
There's two other earphones I would mention, but eh, they're just good for commuting... headsets are the best for home listening.
Using a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD.

I have my earbuds senns of course, cx300-II and I use them nearly every day.
My 480s broke ages ago and I only ever replaced them temporarily with some hs1 headphones that were on sale.
My pc is hooked temporarily to some old logitech 5.1 x530 or something.
When I do replace things I aim to go with hertz car splits although there are some fli audio 8" splits I can nab for under 100 and I will consider them for another project, arcade cabinet.
Right now I have finished getting rid of the rest of the sound gear and assorted speakers that cluttered my room

My headphones are where i have spent most of my money so far (about $1000 dollars).
Headphone Amps: Maverick Audio D1, AudioGD NFB-12
Headphones: Grado RS-2i ($400) and the AKG K-240 Sextet (EP Model)
The amps have USB and coax inputs on them which i feed from my PC or a standalone CD player, then to the headphones, the sextets are great for classical and pretty much anything else you throw at it. The Rs-2is are great at everything as well but they excel with rock music and are great as well as they are open back so you can hear whats going on around you.

Rangers series preview: Don't look now, the Brewers have won 3 of 4!
milwaukee brewers June 11th, 2010
And all three wins were of the walk-off variety? Why isn't anyone talking about this? Let's throw in last Saturday's game against the Cardinals where they took them to the 11th inning before losing and the Brewers (not named Randy Wolf) have been playing pretty decent baseball for about a week now. Hart is hitting everything out of the park, Jeff Suppan has left the building, Gallarado can't be touched, Casey McGehee is the most clutch person on the planet and we might actually have a closer (gasp!), this is pretty good times if you ask me. At least compared to what we had before. Then again, I'm an idiot.
Can we beat the Rangers? Of course we can! They are stupid! And Texan! Read the rest of this entry »
