So if you have a ps3 here are the games that should've been on your list:
1. Midnight Club LA (if you wanted a racer)
2. COD5 (if you wanted a shooter)
3. LBP (if you're creative and love playing with friends)
4.Dead Space (if you like horror)
5. Prince of Persia (if you like platformers)
6. Saints Row 2 (if you like sandboxes and having fun even if it is ludicrously stupid but funny)
7. Sonic unleashed (if your a fan of the series)
8. NFS Undercover(if you like crappy racers)(Don't buy it!)
9. Alone in the dark (if you like horrors that suck and are not scary) (DON'T GET IT!)
Please comment and agree or disagree, if either, say why...
Skate - PS3 Review (Pop-it)
on 12.23.2008
Tony Hawk dominated the skateboarding genre for years with Pro Skater. A few games of the same genre where made but failed... Then came Proving Ground, practically the same as THUG (Tony Hawks underground) except with a bit more polish. Also came skate! a new fresh skateboarding experience with lots of hype! But does it live up to it?
Skate's story is amazingly simple, at the real life cut scene at the begging you watch from your cameraman's camera as your character jumps of a rail and into the path of a bus! "Oh my god!" You here your cameraman say as the screen blacks out. Then another cut scene featuring you getting plastic surgery! EEK! Then it's back onto the streets. Basically you have to get famous again, entering competitions, doing photo shoots and filming yourself are about as much as you get in terms of missions, there's no real story here so if you enjoyed that part of THUG and Proving Ground, this might not be the game for you... Also there are only a few times when you'll see your skater's face during a cut scene, well, the fact is the only cut scenes you'll see are skaters' sponsor vids and ones of shop keepers talking to you...
Unlike Tony Hawks you can't get off your board which is a real shame considering one "SPOT" is a giant drop which you have to ollie onto from the side instead of dropping in off the top. Spots are well, spots, they usually consist of a rail or ramp or ledge or something to trick on or off, they're scattered around San Vanelona with a set score which you must conquer, you can then upload a video of you doing it (or doing anything for that matter) or upload your score to the internet. The Video editor is great allowing you to film yourself pulling off a trick or grinding a ledge or whatever (hitting grannies is a popular one on the website) then edit speed, camera angle and effects, unfortunately there's no option to set up a tri-pod, however the sequel Skate 2 promises this capability. There are many spots where your not allowed to go, but that won't stop you since you can usually rack up more points there, some missions consist of you being in one, but be warned catch a security guards attention and he'll chase you around until he catches you or you leave, the consequences can be brutal, £50 may not seem like much when you finish the game as a millionaire but it can be deadly if you've just started. Online play is here but with huge lag and nobody good it's not used much.
Skate is different to any other skateboarding game ever mainly because of the gameplay: instead of the Tony Hawk controls which used the face buttons, Skate takes a gamble and introduces the flick it system and guess what, it works! hold down the right analogue stick then flick it up to do an ollie! flick it up in different directions to straight up to pull off different tricks, say you held it down then curved it round the bottom, you'd do a shuv-it! The trick list is huge, grab tricks are one by holding down the R2 or L2 buttons to grab right or left sides of your board and in mid air you can move the right analogue stick in any direction to 'tweak' the trick which basically means moving it around, you push the stick forward to pull off a melon, or just invent something completely new and hope you get points for it. there are loads of mega ramps to help out with this, you also get a multiplier similar to the one in guitar hero except it goes down if you stop tricking out and goes up for every GREAT trick you do. The face buttons are now for pushing and lifting the board from your feet to do christ airs. the d-pad is used for hand movements, press up for your character to cheer say. Also instead of tapping triangle to grind you just ollie onto them, and tweak your board in mid air so if i did an ollie then pushed the rigt analogue stick to the right it would move the board into a side shape so when i hit the rail the wheels would be at either side of it, not so complicated when you see it. also nollies are the same as ollies except you push ther right stick up then flick it down to do a nollie and nollie tricks.
Skate's presentation is good, but not great, the character models and graphics are good but the frame rate struggles a little when you get hit by a speeding car say. Other than that it's quite nice even if it never rains and is always a nice sunny day! the customisable clothes and person options are great too!
Overall Skate can be fun but if you love story and buttery smooth frame rate, this may not be for you, but then again, i love stories in games like Tony Hawks but the gameplay is so good in Skate I now want to take a dump on THUG! In other words skate is great: Unique and fun, that's what you need in a game!

Video Games: Not that fun anymore
on 12.02.2008
I was bored so I decided to post this.
The other day I was playing some videogames and i thought, wow, this is extremely un-fun! I thought that was the point of games, to be fun! not to make you scream and shout in rage, then, continue to play until you complete that level! Games aren't as fun as they used to be. They may be great in terms of graphics, sound, frame rate and stuff like that but it drifts away from the purposes of games! TO HAVE FUN! I prefer popping a kickflip using the analogue stick on skate or stealing a hovercraft on Jak2 to getting repeatedly punished for cutting corners on Baja: Edge Of Control (didn't buy it) or being teabagged by an angry douche on headset. We all know how stressful games can be so what i say is instead of getting worked up over a level you cant do on GTA or LBP, take out the disk and slip in an older game, Pain is tons of fun if you've got a ps3 and now with trophies and new maps! It's worth the money. Also try a ps2 game once in a while (if you have a ps2) I've been replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak2 and Jak3 recently and they don't work me up. So yeah.
If you have anything to say on that feel free to comment but plz no spam.
Why Saints Row 2 is worse than GTA4
on 12.01.2008
BEAT DOWN! I shout in my "manly" voice as I yet again, pummel a man to a puddle with a sledgehammer... This is my highlight of Saints Row 2, smacking people over the head with a sledgehammer. AND NO I'M NOT CRAZY! But nothing else compares to gta4. The story, cars, graphics and guns suck compared to gta's. Mummy! Look at that man! what man dave? all i see is a blur! yeah, same ere. The combat's varied I guess.
And Dr Sadistic I know you want to comment.
Far Cry 2 Multiplayer Review (By Pop-it)
on 11.30.2008
Have you ever bought a video game just for the multiplayer? I haven't, but if I did buy this game for the multiplayer I wouldn't be disappointed!
Let's get one thing straight this is not like COD4, yes the menus and classes may be similar but not much else, the control scheme is the same too, but that's where it ends. If you play COD4 you may like this, but you probably won't be able to get used to enemies taking 600 million bullets to the chest before dying.
Your in a made up African state in which two factions: The UFLL and the APR are battling it out for control. You are thrown into one of them and battle others in a variety of different game modes from TDMs to Capture the Diamond (Capture the flag basically). If you play well enough you'll be given a diamond promotion in which you'll be able to upgrade a class to get a better gun. It works well until you punch the floor in fury as you get demoted. At the start of every battle you'll hear your leader inform you on the battle ahead and give you tips. The maps are often huge with many vantage points, hiding places and open land to go in head-on, another difference t COD4 are the weapons: You won't find any attachable scopes, silencers, n00b-tubes or dot sites, in fact, you won't find the last one at all! Far Cry 2 is all about cheap, gruesome war. Guns jam, explode and run out of ammo annoyingly quickly. So you'll have to find ammo piles frequently, however a few carefully placed bullets and the pile will explode sending bullets everywhere. If your being shot at by a bunch of dumb none-team players (everyone) you better find cover, and even if you do you'll have to hold down the L2 button to yank out the bullets/darts/nails and metal shards. If you don't your health'll stay low or you'll fall to the ground wounded. Every so often you'll fall wounded and other players have the option to heal you before you're 20 seconds run out, or you'll get shot or just give up by pressing triangle. The main feature here is the map editor. allowing you to build custom maps in under a few hours, with rivers, buildings and mountains, it should keep you occupied for a long time. However the absence of any tutorials: is seriously messed up.
Far Cry 2's gameplay is solid and works perfectly with the controls, using R1 to fire and L1 for iron sight, R2 for grenades, L3 for sprinting, circle to crouch and so on, what's also interesting and sometimes annoying, is that instead of tapping R3 to knife which is now used for swapping grenades, you tap up on the D-pad to equip it, instead of slash. The D-pad is used to select other weapons too. The sprinting is cool since you can see the gun at the bottom of the screen COD style and with pistols and machetes, you see your hands flying up into the air as they move back and forth, then there's also a fun run and duck to slide move, which you use if you want to look like John Woo in front of your mercenary buddies. The game encourages team play with the wounded system but it isn't essential. you'll be running around on your own, watching your buddies get pwned by angry kids on headset screaming "you suck!" for most of the time.
Another thing is the vehicles, tap triangle to enter a vehicle and if it's a 2/3/4 seater your mates can get in too and shoot out the window GTA style, even though this hardly ever happens Far Cry 2 kept the FPS view through the whole game giving you complete camera control even in the drivers seat. Hey and guess what! Sometimes turrets are attached! =D
The visuals in Far Cry 2 are one of its greatest draw backs and greatest achievements, when I say draw backs, I'm talking about texture popping, BIG TIME! You'll be pleased to know though that when it
there, the scenery is amazingly detailed and even if it is just many shades of green and brown. You'll love the character models that your friends are around you since they all have cool clothes, hats and bandannas. The Texture popping's annoying but overall, the graphics are solid. Lag never comes into play much during the game.
If your looking for a game with great multiplayer capability, look no further, if your willing to overlook the texture popping and Long loading screens, you'll find it easy to love this game from the map builder to the game itself. It could do with a bit more polish but overall; it's a pretty good game
Stands King of its Genre but could be better.
For any question email me.

JSignage:JSignage API
From SpinetiX Support Wiki
Contents |
jSignage API is a feature-rich JavaScript library dedicated to building professional digital signage applications on SpinetiX Hyper Media Player(s). The main purpose of jSignage is to make things like animations, interactivity & event handling, DOM traversal & manipulation, Ajax calls, data feed parsing etc., much more simpler than using standard JavaScript code.
The easy-to-use and intuitive jSignage API includes a port of the popular jQuery on the SVG Tiny 1.2 uDOM, thus making jSignage compatible with HTML5 browsers, as well as embedded and mobile SVG players.
The jSignage library is contained within a single file, called jSignage.js, which can be downloaded from SpinetiX website.
- The current version of the jSignage library is 1.1.1 - this is the version included within the 3.1.1 release of firmware and software. Make sure to always use the latest version in your project.
- Starting with the 2.2.4 release, this library has been included within the HMP firmware and Elementi / HMD software.
- You can use and redistribute the jSignage library in compliance with the terms of the GPLv2 license.
Getting started
Getting started with jSignage can be easy or challenging, depending on your experience with SVG, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, and programming concepts in general.
Loading the library
To start using jSignage, the first step is to include the jSignage library within your SVG document using a <script>
element pointing to jSignage.js.
The jSignage library is automatically added into virtually any new SVG document (e.g., layout, playlist etc.) created within Elementi.
If you prefer using a text editor instead, then create new an SVG document with the following code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" dur="indefinite" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 1280 720" viewport-fill="black" width="100%">
<script xlink:href="http://download.spinetix.com/spxjslibs/jSignage.js" />
// Your jSignage / JavaScript code goes here ...
- The first
element imports the jSignage library code into the JavaScript context of the document. - The second
element contains your jSignage / JavaScript code.
When using this "special" URL, HMP and Elementi load jSignage from their built-in library, without actually needing Internet access to download it from SpinetiX server. Furthermore, this triggers an optimization whereby the jSignage library is compiled and interpreted only once and the resulting jSignage object ($
) is shared among all documents using the library. In effect this means zero time loading of the library (because it boils down to just incrementing the reference counter on the $
object), whereas having a copy of the js file inside the project will increase document opening time by up to 5s for each use.
The jSignage object
Once the jSignage library has been loaded, the jSignage
variable is added to the JavaScript global object and, thus, it can be directly referenced in the subsequent JavaScript code. The jSignage
variable is, in fact, a function that always returns a reference to itself (i.e. jSignage Object) when called without parameters (i.e. jSignage()
). Furthermore, many jSignage member functions return the jSignage object itself, in order to allow multiple calls to be chained together.
Note: The jSignage
variable can also be referenced by its syntactic sugar alias, $
(dollar sign). Similarly, instead of writing jSignage( parameters )
, you can simply use $( parameters )
Adding jSignage code
Any JavaScript code containing references to jSignage (for simplicity, this will further be referred to as jSignage code) must be added / loaded after the <script>
element including the jSignage library. The code can be added directly within the SVG document inside a <script>
element (as presented above) and / or it can be added into a separate JS file and loaded it with a <script>
element's xlink:href
If you want to add / edit jSignage code within Elementi X, follow these steps:
- Open the SVG document and click on the XML Tree tab within the Edit panel.
- Expand the second
element and double-click on its content (i.e. the light-green text area). This opens the "Edit CDATA" window. - Add / edit the code inside the "Edit CDATA" window.
- Click on the "OK" button to save your changes.
For instance, let's say we want to show one image over the entire screen. For that, we'll call the jSignage media()
function along with the image address and then add the resulted media layer to the DOM using addTo()
function. This gives us the following code:
$.media( { href: 'smile.jpg' } ).addTo( 'svg' );
Executing code on document ready
An SVG document cannot be manipulated safely until it is "ready" (i.e. all the elements inside the document are loaded). jSignage detects this state of readiness for you through its ready
member function. To ensure that your code only runs once the entire Document Object Model (DOM) is ready for JavaScript code to execute, you need to include it inside a function that is passed as parameter to the ready
function - like this:
jSignage( document ).ready( handler_function );
The expression above can be written in a shorter form as $( handler_function );
In Elementi, all the jSignage code is included within an anonymous function wrapped inside a $()
call. To do the same (this is strongly recommended), then change the second <script>
element mentioned above like this:
$(function(){ // Your jSignage / JavaScript code goes here ... });
One full-screen media example
Putting together all the information above, we get the following code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" dur="indefinite" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 1280 720" viewport-fill="black" width="100%">
<script xlink:href="http://download.spinetix.com/spxjslibs/jSignage.js" />
$.media( { href: 'smile.jpg' } ).addTo( 'svg' );
Other examples
Full-screen playlist of images
var list = [ 'smile.jpg', 'frown.jpg', 'grin.jpg' ]; $.playlist({ data: list, defaultDur: '10s', repeatCount: 'indefinite' }).addTo( 'svg' );
Dynamic layout
var rows = [ { img: 'left.png', txt: 'Beach' }, { img: 'right.png', txt: 'Swimming pool' }, { img: 'front.png', txt: 'Reception' } ]; for ( i in rows ) { $.media({ href: rows[i].img, left: 100, top: 100*i, width: 100, height: 100 }).addTo( 'svg' ); $.textArea({ left: 100, top: 100*i, width: 'auto', height: 100, font-size: 80 }).text( rows[i].txt ).addTo( 'svg' ); }
The best way to get up to speed with jSignage is to go through the our jSignage tutorials.
jSignage core
Note: See the full article on layers here: JSignage:Layers.
Layers are the building blocks of jSignage documents. A layer can be broadly defined as a rectangular region on the screen where something (such as an image, some text, a playlist etc.) is shown for a certain amount of time.
New layers are created with: $.<layerType>( { attributes } )
where <layerType>
can be media
, textArea
, playlist
, carousel
- All the layers share a common set of attributes (to define their screen layout and active time interval) and common set of functions (to work with layers).
- Frame decorations can be used to improve the presentation of any layer, for instance to add a frame, a shadow or to make rounded corners.
The layers can be classified as following:
Category | Layer types |
Basic layers | |
Advanced layers |
Interactive layers | |
Add-on layers |
// create a new media layer and add it to the DOM tree $.media({ id: 'movie', width: 1280, height: 720, href: 'clip.avi' }).addTo( 'svg' ); // easily build multi-zone layouts $('svg').add( [ $.video( id: 'main', left: '25%', height: '80%', href: 'coke.avi' } ), $.playlist( { id: 'leftbar', left: '0%', width: '25%', height: '100%', data: [ 'ad1.jpg', 'ad2.jpg', 'ad3.jpg' ] } ), $.textArea( { id: 'newsbar', top: '80%', left: '25%', width: '50%', frame: { frameColor: 'black', backColor: 'grey' } // add a black frame and a grey background to the text layer } ).text("Welcome to jSignage") ] );
DOM manipulation
Note: See the jQuery port to the uDom page for more details on the functions available for DOM manipulation.
The visual appeal of signage applications can be greatly enhanced with jSignage due to the possibility to add different types of animations: effects, transitions or custom animations.
Note: See the full article on effects here: JSignage:Effects. See also JSignage:Creating new effects.
Effects can be used to improve the way a layer appears (in effect) or disappears (out effect) from the scene.
All effects share a common set of attributes to define their timing.
// add fade in and fade out effects to all the images in the document $('image').fadeIn({ dur: '0.5s' }).fadeOut(); // add an svg clock to the document with a fade in animation $('svg').add( $.animation ({ href: 'clock.svg', id : 'clk1' }).fadeIn({ dur: '3s' }) );
Note: See the full article on transitions here: JSignage:Transitions. See also JSignage:Creating new transitions
A transition is a combination of out & in effects applied between consecutive items of a playlist or slideshow.
All transitions share a common set of attributes and they are applied using the transition
// create a playlist of images with a cross-fade transition between them and add it to the document $.playlist({ data: [ 'A.jpg', 'B.jpg', 'C.jpg', 'D.jpg' ], defaultTransition : $.crossFade( ) }).addTo( 'svg' );
Custom animations
jSignage provides support for the animation of the parameters of gradients and solid colors, and of the opacity, motion and transform of geometric shapes and layers. If supported by the player these are implemented with SMIL animations rather than with JavaScript timers.
Animations are created with animateColor()
, animateMotion()
, animateOpacity()
, animateRotate()
, animateZoom()
and svgAnimation()
Geometric shapes
Note: See the full article about shapes here: JSignage:Shapes.
The jSignage library provides a set of functions for drawing paths and basic geometric shapes: rectangles, circles, ellipses, lines, polylines and polygons.
- For example, to draw a rectangle on the screen:
$.rect({ x: 200, y: 100, width: 600, height: 400, fill:'blue' }).addTo('svg');
Color gradients
Gradients are created with linearGradient or radialGradient and referenced with .ref(). Similarly, animatable referenceable colors are created with solidColor.
For example, to draw a rectangle with a linear left to right gradient of blue to red:
$(function(){ var gr = $.linearGradient({ x1: 320, y1: 0, x2: 960, y2: 0, stops: [ { offset:0, color: 'blue' }, { offset:1, color: 'red' } ]}).addTo('svg'); $.rect({ x: 320, y: 180, width: 640, height: 360, fill: gr.ref() }).addTo('svg'); });
jSignage adds support for locale-dependant display of date, time and numbers using a subset of the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository data base.
The Localization API is based on two classes:
for the formatting of date and time -
for the formatting of numbers and currencies
To use the API, create an object of either class by calling the constructor with a format selector and an optional locale tag. Without the locale argument, the default locale is used. The default locale can be changed by a call to $.setLocale(tag)
Each locale is identified by its unicode locale tag, a string composed of two or three parts: a language subtag and a region subtag, plus an optional script subtag. For example, US english, the default locale, is identified as en_US
, mainland china as zh_Hans_CN
and the mexican locale is es_MX
- See the list of supported locale tags since 3.0.0 firmware release'.
The format selector for date and time is either one of the predefined standard formats for the locale in the Format
enum such as $.DateTimeFormat.Format.FULL_DATETIME
or a pattern string using the unicode LDML date format pattern, e.g. EEEE, MMMM d, y
will be expanded to Wednesday, July 10, 1996
for en_US.
Similarly the format selector for numbers and currencies is either one of the predifined formats or a pattern string using the unicode LDML number format pattern.
// formatting date, time and numbers $.setLocale( 'es_ES' ); // sets the default locale f = new $.DateTimeFormat( $.DateTimeFormat.Format.LONG_DATE ); str = f.format( new Date() ); // -> "24 de abril de 2013" f = new $.DateTimeFormat( "dd/MM/yyyy" ); str = f.format( new Date() ); // -> "24/04/2013" f = new $.DateTimeFormat( $.DateTimeFormat.Format.LONG_DATE, 'zh_Hans_CN' ); str = f.format( new Date() ); // -> "2013年4月24日" f = new $.NumberFormat( $.NumberFormat.Format.DECIMAL ); str = f.format( Math.PI ); // -> "3.142" f = new $.NumberFormat( "#.#####" ); str = f.format( Math.PI ); // -> "3.14159"
Data feeds
Requesting and sending data
The jSignage framework supports the standard AJAX functionnalities of jQuery for requesting data over HTTP. The AJAX API is asynchronous, so a typical use involves setting up a callback which executes once the data has been received.
See JQuery port to the uDom.
The two most useful function are:
$.get( url, callback )
$.post( url, data, callback )
These are the primary ways of accessing static or dynamic data on the server as well as data feeds suchs as RSS feeds.
For building interactive client/server applications, the JSON methods are supported as well, such as $.getJSON( url, data, callback )
- When using AJAX methods in browsers, the security settings may prevent data from being loaded if it does not comes from the same server as the file being displayed. This is called Same origin policy. There are no issue with the HMPs, Elementi or HMD. A solution for cross-browser/player compatibility, is to use JSONP.
Converting and parsing
The $.get()
and $.post()
functions might return text content from a server. For this cases, the jSignage library includes multiple helper functions to simplify the parsing of this text content into a JavaScript object.
See parsers and helpers for the full documentation. The most important are:
Parses an XML text description into a DOM object. -
Parses and RSS feed into a javascript array of news items. -
Parses an iCalendar file into a javascript arrays of event items. -
Parses JSON text into javascript objects. -
Randomize the order of a data set
Interactive Content
The jSignage library provides a basic set of interactive elements to make it easy to build interactive kiosk type applications in SVG.
jSignage add-ons
Currently, there are two jSignage add-ons: the jSignage Graph library (for building charts and gauges layers) and jSignage QR code library (for generating QR code layers).
Both libraries are requiring firmware 3.1.0 or greater, and must be included in the document after the jSignage.js library.

Daytime Confidential Down Under Johnathon January 11, 2010 Home and Away, International, Neighbours, News, Shortland Street 12 Comments G'day mates! Guess what time it is? Yep it's time to go down under for this promotastic edition of DC: Down Under! In it I will be previewing everything happening on the Aussie soaps!
Why TeenNick Needs To Make A Soap! Johnathon October 20, 2009 90210, All My Children, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, Gossip Girl, Greek, Hollyoaks, Home and Away, Melrose Place, One Life to Live, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and The Restless 6 Comments So we all know the story of a modern soap opera fan right? For those of you who don't, here are the bullet points. The soap opera genre is dying. It's doomed. The sky is falling, blah, blah, blah, blah. But in this day and age of the internet and cable television, is there any reason for this industry to die? Shouldn't this be the time for the industry to innovate and for this genre to kick into overdrive?
British Soap Awards Interviews Johnathon May 12, 2009 Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Home and Away, Neighbours 2 Comments This past Saturday the British Soap Awards were filmed.

I own a large number of headphones and my favorite sounding are the Pro 900.
Unfortunately, I can't bear to wear them for more than a few minutes because the pad on top of my head digs into my brain. :(
wat do?
You could possibly try the Sennheiser 650 headband mod : http://www.head-fi.org/t/579875/comfort-mod-hd650-headband-padding-on-the-pro-900
This could work. Unfortunately I can't acquire the recommended Sennheiser spare part in my country. Any suggestions for an alternative?
(wrong post)
I'm also from Israel, and I see that they do ship here if you really are interested in a permanent possible upgrade in comfort. Otherwise I guess you have to take breaks when doing long listening if they hurt.
hi guys just wondered if anyone had experienced these with the XONAR STX? i can't help but feel these feel lifeless & very bright, I can't find a track which does anything for me
let me know guys, it seems like the Phillips X1 work very good with the STX
I didn't like the Fidelio X1, maybe i purchased a pair that were defected or i didn't give them enough time but the bass seemed really distorted at higher volumes and it annoyed me. I think the PRO 900 would work good with the STX, it is more than capable seeing as it can drive headphones up to 600ohm. I use the EQ a fair bit on my Audio Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 and the bass setting on my STX is actually to much for my ears with them headphones and they're 68ohm.
not sure what im doing wrong then :-\
they dont sound good to me but I know they have potential
maybe im comparing them to the X1 too much ..
What is actually the problem you're encountering with the Pro 900 and the STX? I can't imagine they're bright especially if you have used a bit of EQ? Everyone here says how bass orientated they are, do they distort at high volumes?
I've had my Pro 900's for about two years now. It was my first expensive headphone purchase. Anyways, I'm now seeing the general weakness in this headphone.
1) That recessed midrange. Most people know this by now, but it's true.
2) Dry and cold sound.
Vocals won't get justice on the Pro 900. It simply pushes them back.
Highs and bass are nicely detailed, and of course the strong bass impact. But man, the midrange is the weak point here, as is the rather cold overall presentation.
I still use them often (especially for gaming). EDM music is pretty excellent with them, too. In addition, they are fast hitting (high PRAT?), which works well for modern music. In addition, I find them comfortable and like the velour pads, no ear sweat! Great sense of soundstage for a closed back.
So my ultrasone stock cable has finally breathed it's last breath :(
Besides the Vmoda cable, any other alternatives/favorites? Need alternative ASAP.
Moon audio I believe still has removable blue and silver dragon.
OH I didn't even look at ultrasone's site because I thought they'd be as overpriced as their pads. Can't believe how reasonable the prices are. Nice, thank you.

IRCM researchers, led by endocrinologist Dr. Rémi Rabasa-Lhoret, were the first to conduct a trial comparing a dual-hormone artificial pancreas with conventional diabetes treatment using an insulin pump and showed improved glucose levels and lower risks of hypoglycemia.
Their results, published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), can have a great impact on the treatment of type 1 diabetes by accelerating the development of the external artificial pancreas.
The artificial pancreas is an automated system that simulates the normal pancreas by continuously adapting insulin delivery based on changes in glucose levels. The dual-hormone artificial pancreas tested at the IRCM controls glucose levels by automatically delivering insulin and glucagon, if necessary, based on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings and guided by an advanced algorithm.
"We found that the artificial pancreas improved glucose control by 15 per cent and significantly reduced the risk of hypoglycemia as compared with conventional insulin pump therapy," explains engineer Ahmad Haidar, first author of the study and doctoral student in Dr. Rabasa-Lhoret's research unit at the IRCM and at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University. "The artificial pancreas also resulted in an 8-fold reduction of the overall risk of hypoglycemia, and a 20-fold reduction of the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia."
People living with type 1 diabetes must carefully manage their blood glucose levels to ensure they remain within a target range. Blood glucose control is the key to preventing serious long-term complications related to high glucose levels (such as blindness or kidney failure) and reduces the risk of hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood glucose that can lead to confusion, disorientation and, if severe, loss of consciousness).
"Approximately two-thirds of patients don't achieve their target range with current treatments," says Dr. Rabasa-Lhoret, Director of the Obesity, Metabolism and Diabetes research clinic at the IRCM. "The artificial pancreas could help them reach these targets and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia, which is feared by most patients and remains the most common adverse effect of insulin therapy. In fact, nocturnal hypoglycemia is the main barrier to reaching glycemic targets."
"Infusion pumps and glucose sensors are already commercially-available, but patients must frequently check the sensor and adjust the pump's output," says Mr. Haidar. "To liberate them from this sizable challenge, we needed to find a way for the sensor to talk to the pump directly. So we developed an intelligent dosing algorithm, which is the brain of the system. It can constantly recalculate insulin dosing based on changing glucose levels, in a similar way to the GPS system in a car, which recalculates directions according to traffic or an itinerary change."
The researchers' algorithm, which could eventually be integrated as software into a smart phone, receives data from the CGM, calculates the required insulin (and glucagon, if needed) and wirelessly controls the pump to automatically administer the proper doses without intervention by the patient.
"The system we tested more closely mimics a normal pancreas by secreting both insulin and glucagon," adds Dr. Laurent Legault, peadiatric endocrinologist and outgoing Director of the Insulin Pump Centre at the Montreal Children's Hospital, and co-author of the study. "While insulin lowers blood glucose levels, glucagon has the opposite effect and raises glucose levels. Glucagon can protect against hypoglycemia if a patient with diabetes miscalculates the necessary insulin dose."
"Our work is exciting because the artificial pancreas has the potential to substantially improve the management of diabetes and reduce daily frustrations for patients," concludes Dr. Rabasa-Lhoret. "We are pursuing our clinical trials to test the system for longer periods and with different age groups. It will then probably be introduced gradually to clinical practice, using insulin alone, with early generations focusing on overnight glucose controls."Dr. Rabasa-Lhoret's research is funded by Diabetes Québec, the Canadian Diabetes Association, and the IRCM's J.A. De Sève Chair in clinical research. IRCM collaborators who contributed to study include Maryse Dallaire, Ammar Alkhateeb, Adèle Coriati, Virginie Messier and Maude Millette. For more information on the study, please refer to the article summary published online by CMAJ: http://www.cmaj.ca/content/early/2013/01/28/cmaj.121265.abstract.
About diabetesAccording to the Canadian Diabetes Association, an estimated 285 million people worldwide are affected by diabetes, approximately 10 per cent of which have type 1 diabetes. With a further 7 million people developing diabetes each year, this number is expected to hit 438 million by 2030, making it a global epidemic. Today, more than 9 million Canadians live with diabetes or prediabetes.

Zillow predicts Whitney home values will rise 6.8% next year, compared to a 5.6% rise for Las Vegas as a whole. Among Whitney homes, this home is valued 12.2% less than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 15.8% less per square foot.Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In Whitney, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold is 6.1% higher than in Las Vegas, and 126.7% higher than the national average. This higher local number may prevent Whitney home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Las Vegas.

Baragon (バラゴン?, Baragon) is a reptilian kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1965 Toho film, Frankenstein vs. Baragon.
Contents[show]NameBaragon's name comes from from the Japanese word bara (バラ?), meaning rose, and ragon (ラゴン?), from "dragon." In Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, the guardian monster Baragon's name is spelled in kanji but pronounced the same: 婆羅護吽? (Baragon). AppearanceBaragon is a four-legged reptile with brown skin, a horn on his head, and large ears. OriginsIn the Showa series, Baragon burrowed underground and survived the Cretaceous extinction event while most other dinosaurs died. In the Millennium series, Baragon is one of the ancient Guardian Monsters of Japan.
HistoryShowa SeriesFrankenstein vs. BaragonBaragon was first seen in Frankenstein vs. Baragon where he was awoken by sound from a nearby factory. He attacked the factory, and burrowed to a Shirane Village and attacked it. He then attacked a farm to feed on the livestock. Baragon was not seen during these attacks, so Frankenstein was blamed for them. A worker at the factory says it was not Frankenstein, but another monster. When a group of scientists looked for Frankenstein, they caused an explosion that woke up Baragon from his sleep. He tried to eat the scientists, but he was stopped by Frankenstein. Frankenstein and Baragon battle, but Frankenstein wins when he breaks Baragon's neck. The ground then cracks and the two fall down the hole.Destroy All MonstersBaragon appeared briefly in Destroy All Monsters, where he is present during the attack of King Ghidorah, but doesn't fight. He was supposed to attack Paris under the control of the Kilaaks, but because the ShodaiBara suit was heavily damaged during filming of the show Ultraman, he was replaced with Gorosaurus.Godzilla Island
Millennium SeriesGodzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out AttackBaragon was featured in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, where he was the guardian monster of the element of earth.Baragon (婆羅護吽?, Baragon) was first seen causing earthquakes throughout Japan. He attacked a city and fought Godzilla, but he was quickly killed by him. Later on, when all three guardian monsters were killed, he along with the other two guardian spirits, Mothra and Ghidorah, entered Godzilla's body when he was at sea which stunned him long enough to allow General Tachibana to burrow his way out of Godzilla after internally firing a D-03 missile, an explosive drill. This eventually destroyed him when he tried to use his atomic beam again after it burst out the inflicted hole in his shoulder and finally caused Godzilla to vaporize himself from within. AbilitiesBaragon has undiscovered origins, but has shown some of his powers in his Showa era. He can fire a flame ray from his mouth, like a much weaker version of Godzilla's spiral heat ray. The horn on his snout occasionally glows and crackles. He has the aforementioned burrowing ability, and can jump very far. He also has natural teeth and claws. The distinctive notches in Baragon's ears originally had an unused function. Baragon could fold his ears over his eyes, with the notches interlocking with his horn. Baragon would then charge at the opponent, whilst protecting his eyes from physical blows.In the Millennium era he gained strong jaws and limitless perseverance. He was able to withstand Godzilla's own heat ray. In the Atari video games, Baragon can cause earthquakes and lava eruptions beneath his feet when he uses a rage attack, and can replenish his energy as long as he is in contact with the earth. He can breathe fire, though it short-ranged, but can still get in beam locks. In addition, he is one of the few monsters in the games who can use physical attacks in mid-air. Filmography
Video Game Appearances
Baragon appears as a villain in Godzilla: Monster of Monsters and its sequel Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters, as well as the Gameboy Godzilla game. Baragon would usually remain on all fours, preventing many attacks from hitting him, and would stand on his hind legs only to fire his heat beam. Another attack was to pounce at Godzilla or Mothra and pin them against the side of the screen. While rare to come across, during the fight with him, Baragon will sometimes look at the camera and tilt his head to the side as if he is mocking the player. This move allows the player to get in some free hits. Baragon then appeared in Godzilla: Save the Earth. Baragon is a fast and agile fighter with decent power and great combo abilities. He shares many of the strengths of Anguirus such as immunity to high attacks on all fours and beam/projectile weapons doing only half-damage. He can dig like Megalon, though for longer and not be tired when he emerges, and his rage attack is to dig down and unleash a volcanic eruption. Baragon's fire ray attack can also be used while he's running or jumping and cannot be charged. Godzilla: UnleashedHeight: 60 metersWeight: 34,000 tons "Baragon is an earth guardian-with special affinity for the terrestrial crust we walk upon. Baragon is physically the smallest monster on record, but his connection to the rocks and magma beneath us empower him to achieve greatness on a par with his larger allies. His small size makes him a tremendous leaper, with graceful aerial combat maneuvers and techniques. When not in the air, Baragon constantly replenishes his energy so long as contact is maintained with the earth. Baragon emits streams of fire from his mouth, and can cause eruptions and earthquakes beneath his feet. When firmly planted with all four legs upon the ground, Baragon is almost impossible to push aside, despite his small stature." ComicsGodzilla: OngoingBaragon is briefly teased at the end of the final issue of IDW's Godzilla: Ongoing. Godzilla: Rulers of EarthBaragon appears in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #9. In the comic, he appears in France, much like he was supposed to in Destroy All Monsters and fought Kiryu. Baragon started out in a flashback of the main character however, burrowing into the Earth. After his fight with Kiryu, he was brought to Monster Islands. Gallery
RoarIn Baragon's two appearances during the Showa era, his roar was a slightly modified version of Varan's roar. The only difference being that Baragon's version has a little more of a growling added to the mix. This growling Varan voice would give Baragon's roar a more "guard-dog" tone. Some parts of the roar comes from Godzilla. In the Millennium era, the character's roar was completely changed. The "modified Varan" roar was discarded and replaced with a new original sound. This version of the roar starts of with a growl followed by a gurgling high pitched wail. The higher voice in the character gave it a more benevolent voice which would help with the audiences appeal to its protagonistic role. In Other Languages
