Let us stipulate that Springsteen's first two records with the E Street Band are pure bar rock, a docudrama of the dreams and doldrums of a beer-soaked long-hair desperate to get lucky and avoid anything like real work. (And I say all that with the utmost respect.) Let's stipulate that even the third album, Born to Run, which the conventionally wise take to be Springsteen's magnum opus, is a transitional work — the familiar bluster and bull cut through with hints of a creeping new fatalism. And let's stipulate further still that it's the masterful triptych that followed Born to Run — namely, Darkness at the Edge of Town, The River, and Nebraska — that established the mature Springsteen's reputation as the at-turns-mournful-and-defiant bard of the Working Man.
But, on the other hand, it was also a period in which the top marginal-income-tax rate was 70 percent. The top corporate tax rate was 48 percent. Income inequality — as measured by such things as the Gini coefficient and the amount of wealth held by the "1 percent" — was at its post-war low. The tinsel was just being put on the New Deal/Great Society welfare state, and a gentle, progressive philosopher-farmer had been elected president of the United States. The wealth was truly being spread.
Yet none of this is to be found in the Boss's tales of dead-end jobs, dreams deferred and drag racing, lovers, losers and outlaws, sinners and sweethearts and racketeering and redemption. The population of Springsteenville may lament the shuttering of the auto plant in Mahwah ("Johnny 99") and getting nothing but a union card and a shotgun wedding for their 19th birthdays ("The River"), but there's no bailouts, no card check, and not a subsidized prophylactic in sight. When the state shows up at all, it's usually in the form of Johnny Law chasing antiheroes in stolen hot rods. Politics — never mind liberal politics — simply has very little to do with Springsteen's defining work.
That's not to say you can't situate High Springsteen in its socio-historical context, or understand his music as a vernacular reflection of the political quandaries of its time. But that's not an unambiguous exercise, either. Bruce, I'm sure, would disagree emphatically, but as I've gotten older I've come to read Springsteen songs more and more as funeral dirges for a very particular political promise that died some time in the Seventies — namely, the promise that America's long streak of post-war prosperity meant that the great liberal and great conservative priorities were mutually deliverable; that a universal middle class was achievable by some magic mix of entrepreneurialism and redistribution; that high taxes, anticompetitive regulation, and industrial planning were consistent with limitless growth; that the nuclear family and the white picket fence could survive the institutionalization of the Sixties. And so on. On this reading, Springsteen's music is indeed about the "distance between the American Dream and American reality," just not in the way he thinks it is.
Of course, it doesn't matter if I'm right about this. It suffices to establish that you can map more than one politics onto Springsteen's oeuvre — or at least onto the good stuff. It's (sadly) true that, post 1982, Springsteen's work has gotten more explicitly political even as it has grown increasingly uneven. Born in the U.S.A., a fine record notwithstanding some cringeworthy Eighties markers, takes on civil rights and Vietnam 20 years late. But ironically, it does so with such a poppy sound that a Reagan-reenergized public mistook it en masse for a piece of upbeat Americana and made it a No. 1 record. It'd be ten years and another recession before Bruce went political again on the pitch-black The Ghost of Tom Joad, which is exactly as much of a drag as it sounds. September 11 inspired Springsteen to return again after a seven-year absence and to produce his last great album, The Rising, an ecumenical rallying cry that perfectly distills the flag-waving days of resolve before everyone hated George W. Bush. Everything since then has been the story of Springsteen's decline into a sort of conventionally liberal Woody Guthrie.
Part of this was probably inevitable. Like the president, Springsteen is a Baby Boomer, and now that the Boomers run the world, even the Boss is liable to take on a whiff of the company man. In 1980, Springsteen was staring flinty-eyed at a "Mansion on the Hill," and now he's raising money for Barack Obama at one.

The upcoming departure of Mario Monti, Italy's unelected "technocratic" prime minister, will be mourned by the Berlusconi-obsessed Economist and the rest of the europhile claque, but the Daily Telegraph's Ambrose Evans Pritchard is shedding no tears. He lists a few of the assets that Italy has at hand:
t scores top of the International Monetary Fund's index for "long-term debt sustainability" among key industrial nations, precisely because it reformed the pension structure long ago under Silvio Berlusconi. "They have a vibrant export sector, and a primary surplus. If there is any country in EMU that would benefit from leaving the euro and restoring competitiveness, it is obviously Italy," said Andrew Roberts from RBS."The numbers are staring them in the face. We think the story of 2013 is not about countries being forced to leave EMU but whether they choose to leave."
A "game theory" study by Bank of America concluded that Italy would gain more than other EMU members from breaking free and restoring sovereign control over its policy levers. Its International Investment Position is near balance, in stark contrast to Spain and Portugal (both in deficit by more than 90pc of GDP). Its primary surplus implies it can leave EMU at any moment it wishes without facing a funding crisis. A high savings rate means that any interest rate shock after returning to the lira would mostly flow back into the economy through higher payments to Italian bondholders – and it is often forgotten that Italy's "real" rates were much lower under the Banca d'Italia. Rome holds a clutch of trump cards. The one great obstacle is premier Mario Monti, installed at the head of a technocrat team in the November Putsch of 2011 by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the European Central Bank – to the applause of Europe's media and political class. Mr Monti may be one of Europe's great gentlemen but he is also a high priest of the EU Project and a key author of Italy's euro membership. The sooner he goes, the sooner Italy can halt the slide into chronic depression.
Ponder that for a second. Monti was "a key author of Italy's euro membership". That alone ought to disqualify this quiet and clever fanatic from office. He is an arsonist, not a fireman, a vandal, not a builder. Nevertheless, his time in office has offered international investors the illusion of stability, and the reality of quick profits. They are now nervously contemplating the prospects of his departure.
Well, argues, Evans-Pritchard, too bad.
The interests of Italian democracy and foreign creditors are no longer aligned. The 1930s deflation policies imposed by Berlin and Brussels have pushed the country into a Grecian vortex. The business lobby Confindustria said the nation is being reduced to "social rubble".
Indeed it is (read the full article for details). But the prospects of an Italian uscita remain, for now, remote, despite the devastation that the Monti-supported 'one size fits all' currency has inflicted upon the country. There's always the instinct to keep a-hold of Nurse/For fear of finding something worse, and, whatever the rhetoric, that view is still likely to win out for now.
Nevertheless, keep an eye on how Italy's election campaign evolves and, for that matter, on any revived flow of money out of the banks…

I've wanted to find a wig that was super long and realistic yet cheap, and this was it for me. I wear it everyday, and nobody seems to notice it's a wig. The top of the wig makes it look like your own scalp so thats definitely a plus!
I love this wig!! It looks soooo real. When I wear it, people cant tell its a wig. The texture of the wig is okay but it really looks silky. However, the style of the bangs was a bit weird. It wasn't as same with the picture...other than that, it was perfect :D
I order this wig and the pictures and texture of it on the pictures looked great but that's not what i really got. Didn't know there was going to be a "plastic" type scalp on top which isn't that bad but traps alot of heat. I did like the length and the hold of the loose waves. The color was more of a brown and it tangles easily.

Daily Ticket
Many towns in switzerlad offer every day two daily tickets that allow you to travel for one day using train and busses all over the country. The tickets are very convenient as you may pay 37 francs a trip that normally costs more than 100. At this link you can check which towns have the daily cards available for the days you are interested in. Awfully it's only in italian for the moment. http://www.swisstrotter.ch/it_originale/home.asp
Part of the trip was done by train and part by bus, the scenery, specially from the bus was very nice as it passes through the beautiful San Bernardino.- Camping
- Hiking and Walking
Liechtenstein Buses
Liechtenstein is a small country, therefore you only need to use the buses for longer distances or in case that you can not walk too much. If weather permits, you can even take a 15 min. walk between Vaduz and Schaan, the two largest towns of the country.
Other than that, Liechtenstein has a very dense bus system and while the travel hub is in Schaan, Vaduz is pretty well linked as well. Use line 11, 12 and 14 between Schaan and Vaduz. Line 12 goes on to the Swiss train stations at Buchs (northern end of the line) and Sargans (south). Services to Malbun, Gaflei and Sevelen (Switzerland) are available as well, for all other destinations a change in Schaan is required. -
The Bus Company
I was visiting Switzerland, so had to travel to visit Liechtenstein. I travelled by train from Sargans station in Switzerland to Vaduz on a bus belonging to the Liechtenstein Bus Company (bus line 12 to Buchs). It was comfortable and pleasant - I was on a "bendy" bus but they also have double-deckers too!
My train ticket also covered the cost of the bus journey. Although I think the bus fares themselves are quite cheap. -
Bus to Vaduz from Switzerland
During our visit to Switzerland in July 2008, after leaving Zurich we wanted to pop into Liechtenstein for a few hours. As there are no train stations in this tiny country, we needed to catch a bus from Switzerland. We opted to catch a bus from Sargans as this was on route from Zurich to Chur (where we were spending our next night).
When you arrive in Sargans you will find that it is just a small station, and it is very easy to find the correct bus stop, as it is right next to the station buildings.
There was a bus waiting there when we arrived and after a short wait we were off. We didn't have to buy tickets as the bus trip was covered by our Swiss Pass, but you can buy a ticket on the bus, and the cost is just a few francs.
We were unsure when to get off the bus, as it was travelling further than our destination of Vaduz (it continued on to Buchs), so I asked the driver if he could let us know and he yelled out to us when we had reached the main stop in Vaduz.
The bus we were on went from Sargans to Buchs, so if you find yourself in Buchs you can catch the bus into Liechtenstein from there too.- Trains
- Historical Travel
- Budget Travel
Vaduz via Sargans
This is a tip for getting to Liechtenstein. The bus that runs from Sargans, Switzerland to Vaduz is pretty easy to use. You pay as you get onto the bus, it was about 7.20 CHF roundtrip. There didn't seem to be a time table posted at the main train station in Sargans, but there is a sign at the corner of the building saying 'bus to Liechtenstien.' The bus takes you to the main post office in Vaduz.
- Trains
- Backpacking
Since you can't fly there...
Liechtenstein has no airport, and the nearest one is Zurich's international airport in Switzerland. From there you can get to vaduz in several ways:
- by car driving Switzerland's A3 to Sargans, then A13 direction St Margrethen and taking the exit Sevelen - Vaduz.
-by train to Sargans or Buchs (Switzerland) and then by bus to Vaduz.- Road Trip
train vaduz
vaduz, or indeed lichtenstein, has no trainstation. the best way to get there from zurich is to take a train from the main station to the last station on the swiss border - sargans - from there you will see a florecent vaduz bus which will take you ther ein about 45 minutes. it wasnt too expensive. it was all really easy to do and well signed. im sure the same thing could be done coming from austria.
in vaduz the only way to get around is by foot - it is all pedestrianised.- Trains
- Castles and Palaces
- Museum Visits
Central Bus station
The Central bus station of Vaduz is only a little bus stop, but dont worry Liechtenstein has a very good buses net connecting to Switzerland (Sargan or Buch) , to Austria (Feldkirch) or to all the country. They are very cheap.
To the castle
You can walk up to the castle but it's not an easy walk, specially at the beginning. We decided to take a raxi and it costed 10 francs to go up, then, we walked on the way down.

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.

What a shame that this product appears to have been discontinued. It is terrific for turning your favourite eye shadow into a liquid liner that delivers intense colour and lasts all day. The dropper makes this easy to use (I don't drop it right onto my shadows; rather, I drop it into a small jar or jar lid and wet my liner brush and work from there). It doesn't seem to change the shadow in your pan but I still make a point of always using the same small area of my shadows rather than wetting the whole surface. This can also work well to make a less than ideal shadow show up better - just use more of the liquid and a flat shadow brush like MAC 239, rather than something like the 217 or 224 - to apply the "paste" that results. Lise Watier still makes a similar product called Metamorfix, which comes in a bottle like eye drops and is wonderfully easy and practical to use.

I asked for this in a swap since I like the concept. I've had it over a month and just got around to using it. The claim: "Off Set converts any powder shadow into eyeliner. Yesterday's eye color becomes today's hottest waterproof eyeshadow and eyeliner in an instant." This converts your eye shadows into smudge proof gel liners. I love it. I buy things on impulse, and eye shadows are no exception so I have many colors laying around that I can use this product on. To use: I place a drop on the back of my hand. Then, I dip my liner brush into it and then into the shadow. I then draw the perfect smudge-proof line that lasts all day. I love the glass bottle it comes in with a dropper to dispense the perfect amount of product. Off Set also washes complete out of your brushes and leaves then totally free of makeup. This product surpassed all my expectations.
Throw away all those pencils that tug or you have to light. Are you one of those gals that just LOVE to buy different liners because they LOOK GOOD? Well, if you have stashes and stashes or funky eyeshadows (wait, STASHES of eyeshadow? Makeup alley gals? Pshaaaw, say it isn't so!)...then this is all you need! It's actually two fold, can use for your eyeshadows as a liner OR even use to FOIL your frosty shadows! I got one in a swap and HAD to get another one! A little goes a long way! Now I can wear blues, greens, purples, etc., and not have to worry about buying pencil after pencil to find the "right" color.....

Great product, which I bought a while ago and put it away and completely forgot about it until the other day! I love using different eyeliners and to be able to convert a shadow into one is funtastic! I have tried it with bronzer and it works a treat. For asian girls, if you want a different bindi you can use a shadow and draw your design freehand..I am not good at doing this, need more practice. Heard this was discontinued, will have to try and stockpile as I've not seen this anywhere else.

i was skeptical of this product but i figured what the hey ya know. i got it dirt cheap on ebay and decided it would save me $$ in the long run if it works as well as everyone says it does.
and it does! i tried my fav mineral shadow and i thought ok well this looks like exactly what water does,no big deal. then i tried to smudge it and it didnt move! i was thrilled needless to say. so i decided to try it w/ glitter and it worked the same way! the glitter didnt budge at all.
this is deff a great item to have in your mu stash,im glad i took the chance on it. i heard this was discontinued =( guess ill have to get a back up bottle from ebay!

This is a very cool product! I don't know why it got discontinued. It's very simple to use and effectively turns any eyeshadow into a smooth, creamy eyeliner.

I don't know who the marketing genius at Smashbox was who decided to discontinue this product, but it is miraculous. Instantly increases your eyeliner stock to include every eyeshadow in your collection! This has great staying power on my eyes and stays intact all day and night. I wouldn't rub it, though, I think it would smudge.
It does have one small problem. It kind of destroys your shadow after a while. It hardens it and makes it unusable for anything but using it as an eyeliner with this product, but that's okay with me. I have deep set eyes, so I just use a line of color along my upper lashline anyway.
But this is a superb product. If you can take some shadow, nick a bit off and put it on a surface, then open this converter and dip your brush in it, then mix it with the shadow, you will save your shadow.
I'm loving this, and have gotten two bottles so I won't run out any time soon.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I finally figured out how to use this properly! I had been mixing the powder and gel together and then applying it. It was either too thick or too thin. BUT if you dip the liner brush in the gel and then swirl it on a small area of eyeshadow, and then dot it on your lash line, it won't move. I put it on at 7:45 this morning and I just looked at it and it's still all there, no traveling, no smudging.
I love it, it's small, but it'll last me for a while. I got it last fall and I still have over half. It's definitely something to think about.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like the idea of this product but I can't get it to work properly, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong! Someone help!
I never knew I needed something like this until I swapped for it. Fantastic stuff. Like me, you might think water does a good enough job. Wrong! Off Set does a few things water can't do. First, it intensifies the color of your shadow in a way that water doesn't. Water just makes your shadow or pigment wet instead of acting as a true medium. The gel consistency of Off Set also makes it easier to apply the liner. Think Bobbi Brown gel liner vs. a liquid liner--the gel is much easier to apply, right? The most important difference, however, is that Off Set doesn't budge. Well, if you've got oily lash lines like me it'll probably smudge a bit during the day but it doesn't completely disappear the way plain wet lining does. My only complaint is the packaging. The tiny glass dropper bottle is cute but not all that practical. A simple tube would've been much more convenient and less wasteful.

Best order to load new memory?
Likes # 0
Posted November 13, 2011 at 2:05AM
Hi folks, long time no see. I've just bought some new memory to add to what I have already. The system uses an Asus A8N -SLI Deluxe MOBO with AMD Athalon 64x2 - 4400+ processors on board. I only have 1GB of memory at present in the shape of 2x512mb memory cards. The new ones are 2x1GB and my question is this:- I have 4 slots total - do I keep the 2x512 cards where they are and put the 2x1GB cards in the other two slots or do I change them round so that the 2x1gb cards are at the front and the others behind - or doesn't it make one whit of a difference what order they are in as long as they are in pairs?
Mr Beaujangles :-)

As far as I can see, your motherboard supports dual-channel memory configurations so you may find that adding those two new modules actually degrades the performance. Dual-channel mode only works when all the modules share the same attributes (such as CAS latency etc).
To answer your question though, it should be fine to add those 1GB modules in the currently available slots.
If you're interested then HERE'S a free memory benchmark tool so you can test and compare the performance before and after installing the new modules.

Always looking for bench marking software,thanks Secret-Squirrel.
As to the original posters question, sell the 512MB sticks and buy another couple of 1GB.Sticking you new RAM alongside the old will bring little benefit.

Thanks guys. Think I'll try with the lot in at the same time and use the link for the memory benchmark. If nothing else I can upgrade the front slots to the 1gb each which should give a reasonable increase.

Title: | Notes on Official Immunity in ATS Litigation |
Author: | Casto, William R. |
Abstract: | In Samantar v. Yousuf, the U.S. Supreme Court held that foreign officials sued under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) are not the same as a foreign state and are not entitled to the protection of the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act (FSIA). The Court, however, left open the possibility that the officials might nevertheless be entitled to some form of "immunity under the common law." Now the lower courts, and eventually the Supreme Court, will have to grapple with this yet-to-be-defined defense. This article suggests some considerations that may be of value in creating federal common law immunity for foreign officials in ATS litigation. It concludes by explaining that the defense of foreign official immunity inevitably will involve the weighing and balancing of a number of factors. These factors include input from a defendant officer's government, input from the executive branch, the plaintiff's nationality, whether the alleged tort took place during military operations, and others. |

Supernatural: The Boys Are Back In Town
After being dropped by Sky Living, the US hit series Supernatural returns to terrestrial television as E4 picks the boys up for Season 9.
Written by Roshni Patel on 10th January 2015There's a strange shift in Revenge this week as the Hamptons inhabitants draw together, sensing the trouble ahead.
Victoria has taken in the newly awakened Lydia, fresh from her coma and, luckily for Queen Vic, with a good chunk of memory missing. Conrad is moving into a hotel, but Daniel is determined to repair his relationship now that his father is facing a divorce. Tyler and Ashley are growing tired of being model employees and decide it's time they stop playing nice. While the adults plot and scheme and act out their dramas Declan is preparing for a big date with Charlotte, but with a definite gloom hanging over the Hamptons, the chances of him pulling off a perfect evening out on the ocean are slim.
Nolan, however, has bigger problems. Emily has left him with a mysterious house guest to look after and she comes complete with bloodstains and a slightly deranged look. When Frank Stevens is found dead it doesn't take long for the computer genius to figure out he has a murderer in his house, but Emily's otherwise occupied. With Lydia awake, she can't risk her remembering the old New Year's Eve photograph before it's been altered, and with news of Frank's death about to reach the Hampton's Emily needs to secure her alibi and get Nolan's guest out of the country quickly. There's so much to be done before the police turn up, something's bound to slip through the net.
It was really good to see Jack and Nolan making amends in this episode, after their bust up over Nolan's relationship advice. Gabriel Mann's sulky and childish performance as Ross is slightly adorable and it was amusing to hear him point out Jack's obviously flawed logic; taking relationship advice from a billionaire with a pool house full of unused bikinis.
The suspense in this episode was fantastic, particularly the delicious moment when Jack realises that he doesn't know the name of the woman pouring him drinks across Nolan's pool side bar. It's a definite forget-to-breathe moment as you watch and wait to see whether she'll say the words "Amanda Clarke." The look on Nolan's face when he realises he's harbouring the real Emily Thorne is also, absolutely priceless. Real Emily or "Fauxmanda" is wonderfully played and well casted. Margarita Levieva manages to give of a strong independent vibe, whilst also appearing to be easily manipulated and overly-attached to Emily in a way that creates a serious sense of unease. The character's remarkably well played, but comes across as being a big liability for Emily, and it will be interesting to see how she's dealt with by our protagonist as the season continues.
Darker, darker and darker still, the members of the Hamptons' community are circling the black hole of revenge, but who will be next to get dragged in?

Comment: Hints from an over-the-hill programmer (Score 5, Insightful) 458
It doesn't matter what programming language you use. Go ahead and use Pascal if it's the best choice for the job.
To be a great programmer, you need to write code that reads like English. We have a framework inside of brains called English speech, reading, and writing. If you're a French speaker, or speak another European language, your framework isn't much different. A great French programmer or a great German programmer will program similarly to a great English programmer. Everybody's seen expressive code. You can look at the code and understand what it does almost instantly. Comments, variable names, abstraction, everything that makes a great programmer, all of these things come into play. Conversely, everybody's seen shitty code that takes several days to understand. I don't care what language it is. You're a horrible programmer if you write code like this. Nobody cares how clever you are, or how you've mastered the specific grammar of a certain language. You will eventually move on and someone else will have to modify your code. The best place for clever code is in the trash bin.
To be a great programmer, you need to be able to plan out what you're going to do in advance. Everybody's worked with hacked together shit, and has had to maintain it. Hacked together shit wastes programmers' time. Spend a few days doing absolutely no "programming" whatsoever. Instead draw some flowcharts, try out a rough prototype, brush up on some theory, write up an estimate, and have someone else review everything.
Learn to be realistic about how long your work will take. I know, genius programmer, you can get everything done in about a day. Be true to yourself and don't try to impress anybody with your speed coding abilities. Take your time, and get it done right. Spend an entire day or several days testing. There's nothing better than a launch that is bug free.
Be prepared to explain your code on a whiteboard to your own mother. If you can't explain what you're doing to your own mother, you don't understand the problem well enough, and chances are you're overlooking something. Your boss will have somewhat more expertise than your mother, but if you can justify what you're doing to her then you're probably on the right track.
Don't be that guy who jumps on every programming fad. If something been around for 20 years, it's probably worth considering. If something's been around for 3 years, perhaps the fad will die out and your company will get stuck maintaining an obsolete framework. Been there, done that.
I don't care if you went to MIT or only high school, we're all equal. You can't go away and work in your little PhD way, emerging a month later with a piece of code that everyone despises. Programming is a team effort. If you think that nobody else can write a piece of code except a PhD, then guess what? Your software is likely to fail, because nobody will be able to maintain it, especially when that PhD leaves to go be a professor at Stanford.
I've seen these mistakes repeated over and over for all 25+ years I've been a programmer.

Foothills Golf Course is less than 5 minutes' drive, with many other courses nearby. Hike, bike, swim, play tennis, or practice yoga - its all on your doorstep. Whether you're a sports enthusiast, a shopaholic, enjoy sightseeing or simply want to relax in the sun, Ahwatukee offers something for everyone, with easy access to the I-10 for day trips further.
With all this and more (see 'Other Activities' below) we hope you will consider using our home as your home for a while..... so you can feel at home on your vacation!
Originally from the UK, in 2008 we relocated through work, from the green hills of Yorkshire to the spectacular desert landscape of Phoenix. The beautiful Ahwatukee Foothills immediately cast its spell over us and after 3 years of getting to know this beautiful spot we finally took the plunge and bought a home. Work has taken us out of Arizona for the time being, but we love our 'forever' home and we'll be back to live here in a few years when retirement beckons. In the meantime, what a wonderful opportunity to share our beautiful home, managed on a day to day basis by our great friends and near neighbors, who will contact you on or shortly after your arrival, take care of any issues that arise and do anything they can to help you make the most of your stay.
Alison Cameron purchased this house in 2011
The quiet charm of the Ahwatukee Foothills soon made us feel like we were permanently on vacation! The almost constant blue skies and sunshine, winter warmth, golf, hiking yoga, or swimming every day before or after work, and the famous illuminations of the Festival of Lights from Thanksgiving through New Year make Ahwatukee the jewel-in-the-crown of the greater Phoenix area. With easy access to all the metropolitan area has to offer, we will be forever grateful to the relocation agent that introduced us to this area when we'd only just crossed the Atlantic!
We hit the jackpot when found this cul-de-sac home in a friendly, respectful neighborhood only minutes from everything needed for daily living and all manner of leisure activities. The high vaulted ceilings and unique floor plan resulting from a creative remodel provide light and space in a seamless entertaining and family area that still has plenty of options for quiet retreat! We never tire of the views from the backyard where the spaciousness gives a sense of being in a private rural oasis. Adding the fireplace, outdoor kitchen and hot tub was the 'icing on the cake' and with this final touch, we created our dream home and and for us personally, a little piece of paradise. We hope you will think so too....!
Shoppers will appreciate the nearby, newly opened Premium Outlet Shopping Mall, as well as Chandler Fashion Center and many big box stores within a 10 minute drive.
For sports enthusiasts, the PGA's Phoenix Open, Cactus League Spring Training grounds, Chase Fields Arena, Cardinals' and Suns' games are all nearby (dependent on the season). Or for the more adventurous, go-karts, horse riding, hot air balloon rides, or even sky diving are available in the vicinity.
If you prefer a more leisurely approach, visit the art galleries and shopping of historic downtown Scottsdale, take in a Broadway show at ASU Gammage Theater or tour the glorious Botanical Gardens, all less than 30 minutes' drive away. And for that touch of luxury, indulge yourself at the heavenly Aji Spa at the nearby Wild Horse Pass Resort.
Further afield, countless day trip possibilities include a jeep tour around the red rocks of Sedona, wine tasting in the up and coming wine area of Wilcox or of course marveling at the geological splendor of The Grand Canyon, just over 4 hrs drive away.

Excellent tour, probably the highlight of the few days we were in the area. Managed to cram a lot of things into the day which is brilliant as some other tours can feel like you spend more time travelling than seeing!

This was a fantastic tour, loved it very much - we had teenagers with us and they loved it too. Tour guide was great, loved the bike ride and the cooking. The lunch was amazing with so much food. Great day had by all.

Odd, bass sounds natural to me on my triports, and I'm a bassist. Flutes sound perfect to me, and I'm a flutist. I listen to rock, soft-rock, folk, and classical :P
How long have you had the Triports?
I really suspect you'll have a different opinion once you try the K701s. I A/B-ed them many times to different recordings, and there was a difference.
Having considered all these options ages ago, I went for the DT880 '03 250 ohm before I upgraded to the DT880/600.
The AKG K701/K702 is notorious for being picky amp wise, not to mention the funky fit and unnaturally wide soundstage. Having heard decent $$$ speakers in an acoustically dampened room + HD800's, I know what a decent natural soundstage is and although headphones in general don't offer a 'natural' soundstage, judging apples to apples, the K701/K702's soundstage sounds like you pinched the far left and far right soundstages and stretched them. If you want to see how the K701's soundstage is like shape wise, think of a Bell curve. It isn't a well rounded soundstage. Not to mention they are bass light (despite what all the K701 fanbois and the 'head-fi sound signature' say), particularly when not amped properly. The K701's do have good soundstage depth however. the K701 is very much love it or hate it and as much as I want to like it, I hate it. The SA5000 I've read has gobs of detail but is rather cold sounding. The DT880/600 ohm however I feel is the best within this price range for an all-round headphone. Others feel the same too tbh. It really depends on your music taste though. The K701 is insanely fanboi-ed here. It's not a bad headphone but more the flaws outweigh the positives of it.
How's the STX at driving the DT880 600 ohm?
Sorry, I don't want to discourage you. Perhaps they may sound fine out of the STX...I'm not familiar with that one. I'm only judging by my experience with the emu 0404, and that has a notoriously underpowered headamp. Even with the 0404 the 702's sound pretty good except for the bass.
I've read many places where people are using the Asus Xonar Essence STX and the K701.
if you dont like the sa5000s, i doubt you would like the 701s
Your best bet would be to go for headphones that are a tier down from the ones you are currently considering. This whole hassle of amplification and source will get you frustrated. Go for something like the Shure 840 or Audio Technica M50, both have good bass and are adequate for your soundcard.
Also Ultrasones are worth considering as well. Anyway, I feel you'll underpower the DT880 / K701 (SA5000 = I dunno) from the STX amp. It's not so much that it won't power it but more that the quality of the amping is not too good and doesn't make them sound close to their potential.
@lejaz....a bright sounding headphone with a bright sounding amp...gees, I hope you got a dark sounding / bass orientated source to make up for it!
Even though the MKV is solid-state, I felt it was rather bright sounding at times when I had one.
K701/2 is the headphone with the best soundstage, imaging and layering in its price range, other headphones you should considered are HD600 although it does not compare to K701 in terms of imaging.
It is also recommended that you get a decent desktop amp. From my experience, I found that the area which will be improved the most with proper amping is soundstage. Decent desktop amps are affordable today, I've never heard Sheer Audio HA-006, but it is based on Dynalo which I really like and the new Schitt amps should be good too.
I want the K702 but I already have 2 open air headphones...
I purchased it in part based upon a forum member's recommendation. She claims it's an extremely neutral amp...not dark or bright...but true to the recording. Some of the reviews make the same claim. I certainly hope it's not adding any high end! I definitely find the upper mids/treble a bit over the top with some songs, but I assumed it was a characteristic of the phones. Now you've got me thinking....may have to do some more research.
Compared to my M^3 and even the STX amp, it's bright. One good thing about that $2 IC in the STX is that it's very neutral. Of course quality wise it's not even close to the MKV or M^3.
I'm not sure I would buy an amp solely to cut the high end a bit. I'd rather do it with eq, but so far it's not been necessary. And the bass is very much to my liking. The diffuse/distant mids on the 702 are another story, but I don't want to sidetrack the thread.
I ordered the AKG K702s from headroom. It's $40 more there, but they let you return it if you don't like it.
Yeah I own the AKG 702s. They are quite clinical but a pleasure to listen to if you like to hear details in a track. I EQ'd mine a bit to add just a tad more bass but really its fine. The bass isn't all that anaemic, its actually very very tight
Yeah dude, I second that. I own the AKG K702's and when amped decently, even with the E9, the Sound is to die for. Excellent soundstage and detail with adequate bass. I must admit that the soundstage can get weird with some music with the extreme left-right thing but its fine almost always. GREAT pair of cans

An integration framework has the merit of highlighting the social alienation and disenfranchisement of certain youth, and the need for intervention well before radicalization occurs. It points to the need for instilling a sense of community, values and belonging into youth who are desperate for meaning in their lives and are at risk of finding it in all the wrong places
As a journalist who covered extremism across the world since the 9/11 attacks, I fear the reaction to al Qaeda attacks more than the attacks themselves. The attacks are aimed at making young impressionable Muslims believe that al Qaeada's words are true. In reality, the attacks themselves don't accomplish that, but the reactions do.
So far, a climate of national unity is prevailing in France, just as it did in America immediately after 9/11. But how long will national unity prevail? The scars of colonialism are fresher in France than anywhere else in Europe; the country has Europe's largest Muslim minority; and, with moderates seeming particularly weak and divided, the extreme right is cresting in opinion polls. These ingredients could constitute a recipe for disaster.
Moral and intellectual clarity about the world we live in are not compatible with self-exculpating glibness. Our adversaries' wrongness does not mean we are in the right. The substance of the terrorists' victory lies exactly in their success in having persuaded Western societies to empower our own authoritarian regimes.
This week, the Senate released its report on America's use of torture after 9/11. The revelations were appalling: a detainee being chained naked to the floor and dying of exposure, another forced to stand on broken legs, more widespread use of waterboarding than previously known, and forced "rectal hydration" (in other contexts, known as rape). And not only did the CIA mislead Congress, but its claims -- repeated this week -- about the program's effectiveness were also unsupported by the evidence. It was a small step in accounting for one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history. But it's not enough to, as the president did, simply say we won't do it again. The larger question is: Why aren't the program's architects being prosecuted? The methods used, the president said, are "inconsistent with our values as a nation." And so is placing some people above the law for political expediency. Thankfully, there is no statute of limitations on torture.

Protect Yourself from Identity Theft: on Vacation
in Electronics
Free Wi-Fi seems like a great feature, especially when you are on vacation or need to transmit information on the go. However, connecting to free Wi-Fi networks can put your private information at risk. In this segment I will be further divulging in the dangers of free Wi-Fi and what you can do to prevent identity theft and fraud.
There are more than 220,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots in the US. Through these networks, hackers can easily intercept information like your name, address and even credit card numbers. This is especially dangerous this time of the year as many people leave on vacation. 9 million people fall victim to identity theft every year. Public Wi-Fi is unsecure. When using free Wi-Fi take into consideration that everything you do is visible to anyone else using the same network. The chance of your personal information getting hacked far exceeds the chance of your home getting burglarized.
Many hackers will set up fake hot spots which look like legitimate Wi-Fi networks. Users are connecting to these networks are actually connecting to a "rogue access point." Users are directed to legitimate-looking websites that asks for information such as credit card numbers. If you are prompted to reenter your username and password or if the web browser suddenly says the security certificate is invalid, you may be connected to a rogue access point.

Frederic Franklin, British-born dancer, dies at 98
NEW YORK (AP) - Frederic Franklin, a British-born dancer who helped popularize modern ballet in the United States and performed until his mid-90s, has died. He was 98.
Franklin succumbed to complications from pneumonia on Saturday at a Manhattan hospital, according to his lifelong partner, William Ausman.
Franklin last appeared with the American Ballet Theatre at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts three years ago- as a friar in "Romeo and Juliet."
"He gave me my first job, and I gave him his last," said the company's artistic director, Kevin McKenzie. "He was a seminal figure in the ballet world."
McKenzie said the amazingly energetic native of Liverpool, England, remembered the greatest 20th century dance moves, starting with Serge Diaghilev and the Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo. He toured the United States with them in the 1950s.
"He had a muscle memory," McKenzie said.
Choreographers including George Balanchine relied on Franklin to keep their tradition alive, Ausman said.
"His death puts a period to an era in the dance world," McKenzie said. "He epitomized both the old ballets and the modern ones, and he helped establish the importance of classical ballet in the United States."
Franklin also danced with Britain's Sadler's Wells Theatre and as a backup for Josephine Baker in Paris.
