Issue #1: Visions of Grandeur
Parents have accepted the professionalized youth-sports scene for a number of reasons, Gould notes, not the least of which is the promise of a hefty college scholarship to help with tuition bills that continue to skyrocket in the face of our humbled savings accounts. And while we all know that the chances of our kids actually becoming seriously well-paid professional athletes are slim to none, we can't help but think?maybe. Ego's involved, too: What parent isn't bursting with pride when a crowd of spectators erupts in cheers as her child makes a game-saving goal, hit, or catch? Finally, there's fear. The more we see other kids starting specialized training early, and investing in ever pricier equipment, the more we worry that if ours don't, they'll be left behind. "There's a constant buzzing among parents," says Helen Nicholson Kwan, a Bettendorf, IA, mother of five: What teams are your kids playing on? What camps are they in? Which pitching coach are you going to? "You start to think 'Have I chosen the right one? What if they won't be good enough?'" Kwan notes.
What's gotten lost in all the buzz and anxiety, however, is an awareness of the realities of child development. Children simply can't "get" certain sports skills until they're ready to learn them. "The motor skills required to play a sport continue to develop and fine-tune through childhood," says Paul Stricker, M.D., a pediatric and adolescent sports-medicine specialist and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Council on Sports Medicine & Fitness. "For instance, the ability to track a moving object is immature until around nine. That's why T-ball is more appropriate for five- and six-year-olds. Over the years, there are changes in how kids respond to heat and dehydration. And no matter how much you push training, improving aerobic capacity beyond ten percent is difficult to accomplish until puberty." The same kind of ongoing development occurs in mental capabilities important to sports prowess, like the ability to process instructions, make rapid decisions, and handle tasks involving complex memory. "You can't teach an eight-year-old a long list of plays," says Dr. Stricker. "He won't be able to remember them."
Training a child with an eye on future greatness also fails to consider the fact that kids' bodies change enormously at puberty-and not always in ways that make them better players: The kid who's always been tallest and fastest may well be overtaken by the one who suddenly gains 30 pounds and shoots up a foot. "When Michael Jordan started high school at fifteen, he was only five nine and didn't make the varsity basketball team," says Bigelow. "There's no one in the world who can predict a future athlete's talent at age ten."

I'd also recommend the SE530 and the IE8. If it wasn't for the IE8's overly bassy presentation, I'd put it ahead of the SE530 as my personal preference. The SE530 has a more balanced presentation in my opinion, but I find the IE8 more engaging.

so inks...why did you sell your MDs if they were that great?
didn't you find it worth owning?

I'm on a budget at the moment, if I had the money I would've easily kept them.
i hope i can get my hands with them...sooner than expected.
i am still waiting for bro joker's review...i wonder if it would take another day/s.
asked him personally to post his views on them.
maybe i just cant decide for myself.
bro inks...would it be wise to buy a brand new pair for $320 at jr with the new boxed control talk version without the cds and booklet.
or should i opt for your sold item to mr. CORY GILLMORE for $270?
the one he owns is the one that came from you...with the MD cds and booklet.
MILES MILES...when will i have you in my ears?
haay...life is too short to listen to bad earphones.
bro inks, does MDs need an amp to drive them fully of their potential???
i never own an amp before...
and i think it will add more costs to me.
including wires.
i use my ipod as source.
ipod classic 120g.
headphone out or the universal dock out.

sounds like the silver bullet is quite the performer at $70 bucks or so.
I really enjoyed the MD's during my couple weeks of using them. They probably are my favorite of the top 3 Monster earphones although the MD's are pretty ridiculously overpriced at their MSRP even more so than the Golds or Coppers. However warm mids is what defines the MD's and they are quite good.

MDs (and monsters in general) definitely need a good source or an amp. Otherwise in the case for the MDs, they'll be too warm imo, look into the T3D/T3 which paired pretty well with it in my experience.
I'll take the ones that came from me because (and it may or may not make a difference) I did careful burn in at low volumes using piano tracks with lots of range and frequency sweeps and gradually went up. I remember the previous pair I had being slightly less controlled than this one, which may be from burn-in but I don't guarantee anything in regards to this. If you're really interested you can see this thread for more info.
Rawster I definitely agree that they're way overpriced (even at low 200s), but that's how flagships tend to be unfortunately. And the SBs sure are a performer, another funny thing about them is that they don't seem to have a particular sound sig, the only iem I've tried that had this feature was the RE252.

+1! I had 5 pairs of the Vibe Duos (each replaced for free when the pair before it failed). Great warm sound, and very comfortable. After the 4th exchange though I just couldn't take the build problems any more and moved on to a search for the perfect solution. While they still work though - wow, great sound and comfort for the price.
Despite quality concerns, V-Moda Vibe. Warm, smooth, and lush are its trademarks. It also has good authority in note, and isn't too muddy and maintains a decent level of detail and separation. They do get ripped on some for quality control past the Ver. 1 though, but they do actually perform well and is genuinely enjoyable to listen to.
wow...warm mids = yummy mellow sound.
thanks inks for mentioning.

I never owned the MD's. I had them for a couple weeks on a loaner from another head-fi member
oh okey...
so what do you think mr. rawster, is the mds worth buying?
i am looking for the best mids out there with a really likeable warm signature.
my friend owns a hje900, do you think MDs can compete very well with them?
or is the hje900 that great that it can outrank the MDs?

TravelPod Member ReviewsElephant Hills Resort Victoria Falls
Nice mid-range resort with views of the Zambezi and of the mist rising from Victoria Falls. Located next to the heliport for flights over the Falls. Good service, reasonable prices for meals and room service. Golf course on the premises, and impala, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons and monkeys wander the grounds.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I stayed at the Elephant Hills Resort recently for a few days and it was amazing! On arrival and during my entire stay, the staff just could not do enough for me. They were attentive and courteous and very well knowledged about the local areas of tourist interest.Namely Patrica at front desk, the lady at guest relations desk and Emmanuel and the team in the restuarant were superb! I was greeted with a refreshing welcome drink which I thought was a lovely touch. The room was spacious and very clean with all the lovely amenities you would expect to get in a resort of this standard. I was very impressed! The view from my room was to die for and was simlpy breathtaking. Had a little visit from a monkey who found it's way into my room( I had left the patio door open to get some fresh air in but had not
bargained I would get a cheeky visit from 'mr fingers' I decided to call him). He had a look around the contents on my dressing table but fortunately did not think anything was worth taking, maybe he did not like my choices of fragrances or lipstick!!...now where do you get such an experience!
I then visited the falls which was phenominal...you need to see and feel it to understand the wonderful feeling of being there. Natures wonderful work of art in a nutshell. The other hotels I stopped over were lovely such as the Victoria Falls Hotel in its colonial granduer, and the exotic Kingdom Hotel were all very welcoming. The weather was scorching hot but breezy. There were a few tourism police in the town who were very helpful in directing you on where to go if you were unsure so that was great.
Overall Victoria fall is one of the wonders of the world one has to see in their lifetime, and I urge you all to visit this truly enchanting and hospitable place! I highly reccommend it.

Palácio Nacional de Sintra information
The star of Sintra-Vila is this palace, with its iconic twin conical chimneys and lavish interior. The whimsical interior is a mix of Moorish and Manueline styles, with arabesque courtyards, barley-twist columns and 15th- and 16th-century geometric azulejos (hand-painted tiles) that figure among Portugal's oldest.
Of Moorish origins, the palace was first expanded by Dom Dinis (1261–1325), enlarged by João I in the 15th century (when the kitchens were built), then given a Manueline twist by Manuel I in the following century.
Highlights include the octagonal Sala dos Cisnes (Swan Room), adorned with frescos of 27 gold-collared swans. Suspicious? You will be in the Sala das Pegas (Magpie Room), its ceiling emblazoned with magpies. Lore has it that the queen caught João I kissing one of her ladies-in-waiting. The cheeky king claimed the kisses were innocent and all 'por bem' ('for the good'), then commissioned one magpie for every lady-in-waiting.
Other standouts are the wooden Sala dos Brasões , bearing the shields of 72 leading 16th-century families, the shipshape Galleon Room and the Palatine chapel featuring an Islamic mosaic floor. Finally, you reach the kitchen of twin-chimney fame, where the flutes work their magic. You can almost hear the crackle of a hog roasting on a spit for the king.

Heathcote injury blow for Bath
ESPN Staff
August 12, 2012
Bath fly-half Tom Heathcote is set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury in his side's pre-season victory over London Welsh © Getty Images
Bath fly-half Tom Heathcote is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up a serious-looking knee injury in his side's pre-season victory over London Welsh at The Rec on Saturday.
The promising 20-year-old limped out of Bath's 40-31 win midway through the first half having kicked his side into an early 9-3 advantage. With Olly Barkley and Stephen Donald absent through illness and injury respectively, academy recruit Ollie Devoto filled the void at No.10 and may now be set for a more high profile role in the early months of the season.
"That's devastating," said head coach Gary Gold. "He started off quite well and he's definitely part of our plans. But that's always a risk with these games.
"It's such a chicken and egg scenario because you need these games but you could do without injuries like that. We will have to assess it on Monday and see how long he is out for - MCL injuries can be potentially be quite long-term."
There was more positive playmaker news for London Welsh with Gavin Henson opening his account for the club. The former Wales international entered the fray at half-time for Gordon Ross and helped set-up two tries and landed three conversions.
"I'm pleased at how all the players have applied themselves. We're not here to measure people just at the moment, especially someone like Gavin who's been off for a very long time."
Jones also believes his side are playing catch-up in terms of preparation having only belatedly been awarded promotion following a protracted legal battle. "I'd say that we are four weeks behind most teams - and probably four years behind Leicester ad Quins, such is their capability. But we can't go on about that, it's not in our power to do anything about that. We just need to keep building.
"It was quite clear today that things we havent worked on cost us - Bath were far superior in certain aspects, such as the distance and accuracy of their kicking game. We haven't had time to look at it."

'You find out who you're married to': Catherine Zeta Jones opens up about how bipolar diagnosis strengthened her marriage to Michael Douglas
She's best know as the dark-haired beauty that has been gracing the big screen for years in a variety of Hollywood blockbusters.
But now Catherine Zeta Jones has opened up about a different side of her life in a candid new interview.
The 43-year-old actress spoke out about suffering from bipolar disorder, and revealed how it helped strengthen her marriage and made her appreciate the little things in life.
It's the little things: Catherine Zeta Jones has opened up about a different side of her life in a candid new interview
The 43-year-old actress spoke out about suffering from bipolar disorder, and revealed how it helped strengthen her marriage and made her appreciate the little things in life.
Opening up in the December issue of the US edition of InStyle, the Welsh-born star spoke about how she was finally diagnosed with the illness last year.
'New appreciation': Catherine has had a rough year but has come out on the other side
'It's been an intense time, in good ways and bad,' Catherine said.
'You find out who you really are and who you are married to. You find things inside yourself you never imagined were there.'
'I've gained an appreciation for little things, like tea outside on a terrace and a beautiful afternoon like this.'
Catherine has been married to
Hollywood star Michael Douglas for 12 years and the couple have two
children together, son Dylan and daughter Carys.
It was reported last year that the brunette beauty spend five days in a mental health clinic recovering, which lead to the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
And she revealed how she had to stop googling her own name, because it became a 'poison' to her.
'The smartest thing I did was to stop going online,' she said.
the sort of person who will just look for the negative - Michael really
can't understand it, but that's just the way I am. And with my bipolar
thing, that's poison. So I just stopped. Cold turkey. And it's so
Catherine made the brave decision to speak out about her struggles, and she says she hopes it inspires other patients to seek help and speak up.
not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from
the rooftops but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow
sufferers will know it is completely controllable.'
'I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it.'

Yucca House National Monument
Yucca House National Monument is a large, unexcavated Ancestral Puebloan surface site. Yucca House is located in Southwest Colorado between the towns of Towaoc and Cortez. Yucca House is one of the largest archeological sites in southwest Colorado, and acted as an important community center for the Ancestral Puebloan people from A.D. 1150-1300. The long-term preservation of Yucca House ensures that archeologists will be able to continue studying Ancestral Puebloan society and what caused them to migrate from this region in the late 1200s.Currently, there are no facilities or fees at Yucca House.

Just want to say hi
I've been lurking for awhile and learning lots of great stuff from all of you. I thought I should finally make myself known. I have a few AVs, 8 or so. For years I thought I couldn't grow them as I had killed a couple of grocery store AVs. Then a friend gave me a baby and not only did I not kill it, it grew and bloomed . Eventually I rooted a couple of leaves and I was hooked. I still have a long way to go, but I'm learning more all the time. Thanks to all of you who share such great information. Joyce
Welcome to the forum, Joyce. I'll suggest what is starting to sound like the Barbara speech......find a club in your area and join it! You'll find a group of very nice people, learn a lot, and be the recipient of many sharings of leaves and plants.
Good growing.
Here is a link that might be useful: African Violet Society of America
Congrats. It's nice to hear someone kept trying and succeeded. I just hate that the store violets are growing in peat...the peat is the reason people can't keep them alive. If they would just know to repot into anything else, they would probably have a beautiful blooming plant.
Welcome, I'm tish

The Office of Management and Budget today named four agencies to
provide services to certify and accredit computer systems to assist
agencies across government to fulfill federal information security
requirements. As shared service centers, the agencies would
aim to conduct certification and accreditation (C&A) activities
more effectively than agencies currently do themselves because they
will deliver the services across multiple agencies using best practices
under the Information Systems Security Line of Business, said Karen
Evans, OMB's administrator for e-government and information technology,
in a briefing with reporters.
The Federal Information
Security Management Act requires agencies to certify and accredit that
their computer systems are secure or that they are managing risk. The
four agencies selected as shared service centers are: the Treasury
Department's Bureau of Public Debt; the Interior Department's National
Business Center; the Transportation Department's Federal Aviation
Administration Enterprise Service Center, and the Justice Department.
The agencies have improved the analysis and assembling of the
documentation associated with certification and accreditation to
overcome some of the criticism by security experts that C&A is a
compliance exercise and doesn't truly measure risk, Evans said. OMB
said it established the security LOB, which the Homeland Security
Department manages, to promote improved, consistent and measurable
information security processes and controls across government and to
gain savings or cost-avoidance through reduced duplication and greater
economies of scale.

Public comments made Tuesday on a proposal extending groundwater well restrictions to the entire county ranged from threatened lawsuits to suggestions on well options.
Most of the comments to the county Planning Commission included concerns the well restrictions would hurt county property owners and the local economy.
Some called for a delay on approving the Kittitas County restrictions and doing more research into options and measures taken in other areas of the state to protect groundwater.
Others called on the Planning Commission to recommend that county commissioners reject an expansion of the well restrictions.
Ron Slater of Cle Elum, who owns an undeveloped rural subdivision east of Ellensburg off Vantage Highway, said his plat was fully approved by the county planning department and state officials 22 years ago. He said he has two letters from county officials affirming his right to allow one permit-exempt well for each five-acre lot.
"I'm not going to see my development thrown out" because the county has to satisfy new DOE rules, Slater said.
He said he would sue county government if the value and use of his subdivision is diminished in any way by new groundwater well restrictions in Lower County.
Slater said if the restrictions are approved, many people will join his lawsuit.
"I'm coming at you if you take away my water right," Slater said.
Lynn Brewer, who lives in the Lake Easton Estates subdivision, read a lengthy statement alleging county officials have approved building permits in the subdivision in past years involving projects that illegally encroach into groundwater well protection areas.
Brewer said this goes against county government's own rules and state statutes, and puts domestic drinking water at risk, devalues private property and opens the county to legal action.
She questioned how the county can be relied upon to protect groundwater resources if past county permitting has allowed the alleged illegal encroachment.
Jeremy Bach, of Bach Drilling Co., warned the proposal to extend well restrictions was one sided and will cause groundwater to be a commodity, the cost of which "will go through the roof."
He called on the county to do more research into options before approving restrictions, including types of wells that create a barrier between groundwater and surface water.
Bach said he would submit a list of options that can protect water resources but still allow new wells to be used.
"Keep an open mind," he told Planning Commission members.
William Schmidt of Ellensburg questioned why the county was considering taking unilateral action to approve restrictions, when it should work with other counties in the basin to find a mutually agreeable solution.
Schmidt asked the Planning Commission to reject the restrictions warning they would subject county property owners to financial loss and the community to economic stagnation.
Know the facts
Andy Schmidt of Ellensburg said comments by U.S. Geological Survey hydrologists at local meetings indicated they were not concerned with the amount of water pumped from the aquifer in Lower Kittitas County in connection with hurting surface water supplies.
Schmidt said the USGS officials said their biggest concern was for large-diameter wells close to the Yakima River in Yakima County.
He urged the county to do more research into the USGS study findings to make sure any groundwater rule changes match the scientific facts.
Officials cautioned
Glen Smith, government affairs coordinator of the Washington Groundwater Association, cautioned county officials to take time to study the issues and facts.
Groundwater supply issues have not been addressed adequately through the years and now it is a statewide issue that should also be resolved at the state government level in the state Legislature, he said.
He urged the Planning Commission and the audience to go online to view a Skagit County property owners' video on water concerns at justwateralliance.org.

Running for Weight Loss Plan
March 3 2015
Interval runs combined with strength training will help you shed those unwanted lbs.
This funny-looking iron weight may seem intimidating—but a kettlebell is your best friend when it comes to tight, toned abs. That's because core stabilization exercises (not crunches!)build lean muscle. A kettlebell's shape is designed to throw you off balance, forcing you to use your middle to keep from tipping over. Bonus: the weight's handle enables you to perform full-body exercises that will burn loads of calories with each movement.
The eight exercises in this plan will build abdominal strength, burn fat and create a powerful core that will make you a stronger and faster runner. Use a 10- to 20-pound kettlebell (whatever you feel comfortable wielding), and concentrate on engaging your stomach muscles every time you lift the weight off the ground. For maximum benefit, perform one to two sets of each exercise three to four times per week.

My concern is that by enabling a narrow-band codec, I will then be receiving poor quality calls from landlines.
But people do insist on using cell phones. How do I manage with these calls?
Landline calls to my Voip phone are acceptable but the quality of calls from Cell phones to my Voip phone are not acceptable.
Cell phones have intrinsic and big latency ...
I think this is a matter of codec and compression and loss of data. I'm quite sure that the problem is with the cell phones rather than the Voip phone; calls received from cell phones are noticeably worse than calls received from landlines. But people do insist on using cell phones. How do I manage with these calls?During Hurricane Sandy cell phone service was poor to non-existent but now things are back to normal.
I suppose, as time goes by, the percentage of calls from cellphones will increase and the percentage of calls from landlines will decrease, so the overall quality of calls will deteriorate.
Dropped calls also happen because of quirks in the way carriers have set up their networks. For example, AT&T Inc. routes calls south of 59th Street in Manhattan to a switch downtown. North of 59th, calls go to a facility in Westchester. So when an AT&T customer crosses 59th, calls can get dropped as the network reshuffles from one switch to the other. Nielsen recorded three fails on or near that dividing line. AT&T declined to discuss coverage at 59th in further detail.
Putting up new cell sites often means dealing with zoning regulations, pushy landlords or community resistance. In the seven years that Chris Hillabrant has been T-Mobile's vice president for engineering in the New York region, he's seen community resistance to new cell towers get "better funded and much better organized.""Now, they'll bring in their own experts to prove that T-Mobile already has sufficient service or enough cell sites," Mr. Hillabrant says.
It may cost me some business, but if someone calls us on a cheap Drekfone and we can't hear them, or if we realize they are driving a car, we tell them to call us back from a real phone and when stationery. Seriously, we do.
So people want a cell phone in their back pocket, but do NOT want a tower in their back yard.

I just recently purchased 2 lemon trees. I will be potting them in 12 in garden containers. I am very confused on what potting medium to use.
Can you please tell me if this would work. Fafard fof30. all organic contains 55% sphagnum peat moss, pine bark, perlite vermilculite, dolomitic limestone and gypsum. Any other ideas???
Hi Wineman,
As Jean said, it must be well drained. How well your soil drains will depend alot on how much bark and perlite is in it.
Sand will only cause your soil to compact over time and will affect the drainage in a very negative way.
I would like to share a post from the container forum that will give you a little better understanding on how soil in containers works. I hope you will take the time to read it before just adding this and that to your soil. It is loaded with great information!
Here is a link that might be useful: Containers Soils~ Water movement and retention
Hi Wineman. My potted citrus are potted in MG Citrus/Palm/Cactus Soil, Peat, Coarse Sand, 'must be gritty, not beach sand,' and Perlite. In addition, bark and very tiny pebbles.
I've heard Fafard is a good brand, but never tried it. Good luck with your new citrus. Toni
i Wineman: How are you? From what part of Mass are you from?
Fafard is a great brand next to making your own which is what I prefer to do in most cases.
Why don't you use Fafard 'nursery' mix which is composed of mostly bark and a small fraction of peat? There is also another that Rhizzo had suggested before and I can't think of it.
I am not sure of what brand you are using since I never heard of #30. From the description of it, it seems to have too many fine particles and ingredients that encourage the mix to stay wet far too long for my citrus trees liking, especially up here in New England, and one that will compact within a very short time.
All you have to do is add strained perlite and you are good to go if you find the nursery mix
I know a few that add sand to amend their mixes, but it has to be very course washed sand as Toni mentioned or it will clog up your mix as Jojo mentioned.
Sand can improve drainage in some cases, but it reduces aeration by filling valuable macro-pores in soils. Unless sand particle size is fairly uniform and/or larger than about BB size, I leave it out of soils.
Why use sand and rocks at all?
If you purchase a good potting medium that has pine bark as it's main component, at least 80% or more and adjust it a bit, then you are good to go.
If you care to invest your time into making a fine mix as Jojo has kindly pointed out to you, then let me know and I can direct you to the sources for the ingredients.
Hi Jean, Toni and Jojo!
Hi Mike!
Great information! I didn't realize wineman was in the same corner of the world as you either.
Couldn't ask for better help. ;-)
I believe the others Rhizo mentioned are in the thread in House plants, titled "Best brand of potting mixes".
If your interested in making your own mix, I'll share a link to show you how beautiful the tree's can be!
Best wishes,
Here is a link that might be useful: Some great looking tree's
If you have access to Fafard products, the 3 that deliver the best long term aeration (which is KEY, in offering the greatest potential for healthy plants, are their #3 mix, their 51L mix, or their Nursery mix.
If you can't find those, you can easily make soils that will perform even better if you're interested. The link JoJo provided above should help you get started. If you have any questions, Mike or JJ should be able to answer them, or you can ask at the thread JJ linked to.

It was definitely a very desperate attempt to smuggle gold bars. A 63-year old Indian businessman recently went under the knife in a hospital in New Delhi. He initially complained he had accidentally swallowed the cap of a water bottle and wanted it removed. What the surgeons discovered was otherwise and beyond their wildest imaginations.
As part of procedures, the Indian man was asked to have himself undergo an X-ray.
"He approached us on April 7 seeking surgery to remove a water bottle cap which he claimed he had accidentally swallowed. We got an X-ray done and it didn't appear to be a cap. As the gold bars got stacked one behind the other it appeared to be a metal," the Indian Express quoted Dr C S Ramachandran, senior consulting surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram hospital.
Operated on April 9, the surgeons removed a whopping 12 gold biscuits from the man's abdomen, worth to be around US$23,000. The surgery lasted three hours.
Both police and customs authorities seized the gold and immediately questioned the businessman.
"When we asked him (how the gold got into his abdomen), he was not ready to speak. We immediately sealed them in a container and handed it over to the medical superintendent," Mr Ramachandran said. The hospital discharged the patient on April 15.
But Indian Express, citing unidentified hospital sources, said the Indian businessman swallowed the safe haven yellow metal gold biscuits in an attempt to smuggle them into the country from Singapore 10 days ago.
Smuggling gold into India has been rising steadily, no thanks to the government's measures to hike its import duty on the yellow metal from 4 per cent to a huge 15 per cent in 2013.
The customs department at the Delhi airport likewise reported that by the end of 2013 alone, it had seized 352 kg of gold, 52 times over the previous year.
"If the gold had stayed inside for couple of more days, it would have led to severe bleeding and rapture of the intestine and septicemia," Dr Ramachandran said.
The gold smuggling would have gone unnoticed had the businessman was able to get them out through his stool. But he had no recourse but to seek professional medical help when he the metals started hurting him.

Smart chords & tools has loads of tools for all types of guitar players - from banjo to ukulele.
This app has it all - chord chart, tuner, scales, metronome, tone generator, and the list goes on. This is a great set of tools for any guitar player. There's not much wrong with it, except perhaps the pitch pipe tuner is a little quiet.
What makes this app great is that it can do what you might otherwise need many apps to do. As well as that, they all work for many different types of guitar, such as electric, acoustic, bass, banjo, ukulele and several more.
The pan pipe tuner is somewhat quiet for some reason, even with phone volume turned all the way up. It also has a flashlight which must be downloaded separately due to needing an extra permission, which i'm sure could have been added to the main app.
smartChord provides you also a reverse chord finder, scales, arpeggios, a chromatic tuner, metronome, pitch pipe, ear training quiz, transposing slide ruler, playground, tone generator, timer, flashlight and as a new feature: Circle of Fifth:-)
It's worth a try and useful for every musician! Promised!!!

Dog Scratches
rabbit8May 20, 2006
Had my new volkswagen parked the my back yard and my german shepherd has a few little scratches on the front of it (not too noticable, but you know how it is with a new car, you don't want any stratches on it. Is there a way I can get them out (only about 3 of them about 3 inches long. Is it worth gettin upset over? what can I use to get rid of them.
If the scratches are just surface you might be able to compuind/buff them out. If they are deep and to the bare metal then they need to be sanded and repainted. If it were my brand new car, I'd be inclined to at least get an estimate from a body shop (or the dealer) and see what its worth before I just decided to live with it.
Hope it's an easy fix. Dogs and kids.. you've got to love 'em.

Search Activity
Thailand's beaches and islands are top attractions and nearly all beaches feature numerous activities. At the more popular beaches, including Pattaya and those on Phuket and Koh Samui it is possible to hire jet skis and go water skiing.
While it should be advised that there are few rules regulating the rental and operation of jet skis, operators that rent them are concerned about their water craft and will provide some brief instruction to ensure that the vehicles are operated properly. However, once aboard the speed and power of a jet ski is an amazing experience, likely to make you forget you even spoke to someone just before pulling back on the throttle. That said, it is particularly important to beware of shallow rocks and reefs, which are frequent around Thailand's islands and of course swimmers who could be seriously injured by a collision with a large, powerful watercraft.
While water skiing is less frequently found activity it can generally be arranged at more popular beaches, such as Patong beach on Phuket. More popular, and found on almost every beach in Thailand is Banana Boat riding, an activity that is exciting for the whole family. A Banana Boat is a large inflatable tube that several people straddle and cling too while being pulled around the sea by a high powered speedboat. Bouncing along in a straight line is a hilariously fun time though few are able to stay aboard when the boat make a sharp turn and the passengers are dumped into the sea!

Easy to use and not too much data required.
Both drivers were very punctual and professional. Extremely efficient service which I will definitely use again in the future and recommend to my friends and family!
Easy to use website
Excellent transfer no problems
Seemed straight forward
A very different experience between the pick up and the return journey. The transfer from Barcelona to soldeu was very good. The vehicle was a good size and the driver was very safe, taking a break after 2 hours.
However the return trip to Barcelona was terrible. The vehicle was much smaller so we we're bit squashed. The driver was swerving a lot and did not have 2 hands on the steering wheel, leaving all of us feeling very unsafe.
Our booking changed a couple of times and it was very easy to use your website to make the changes, I am in a completely different time zone (-9 hours) which made telephone conversation impossible. Thanks for keeping things simple.
Our driver showed up exactly as requested and assisted us with our luggage challenges. Great experience.
I appreciate that my hotel information changed numerous times and using the website made it very easy to update the changes which were not caused by me. We were travelling to Barcelona from a time zone that is 9 hours different and trying to connect via phone is impossible so the ease of your website was greatly appreciated.
One of the members of our party had some of his luggage not arrive at BCN, British Airways told us it was on the next flight that was arriving 20 minutes later so we waited, the bag was not on that flight, or the next one either as promised but it did arrive on the next after that. We greatly appreciated that the driver understood our situation, we were going to Andorra for a ski competition and we had to have this ski bag in our hands before we could leave the airport. We felt bad because we were 90 minutes later leaving BCN then expected. We were fine with paying the additional fee (50 euros) and our drivers attitude made it all less stressful.
Very good
First class smooth transfer
Very easy, booked in no time
Excellent service, would definitely use again
Very easy to book
Very good with timing
Don't remember much about the site when booking but must have been user friendly enough as we ended up with transfers frin the correct airport at the correct time. Would have liked a general enquiries number to call to check on procedure if flight had been seriously delayed or cancelled. The day before we flew out there were serious storms and high winds and it looked like this may happen but we only had the local providers number to call.
This was the best service we have had after booking transfers from Barcelona to soldeu for the last 6 years. The Businesscars personnel were very professional, excellent drivers, we were waited for after our delayed flight arrival, picked up on time for the return, vehicles were comfortable - everything was great.
Website was easy to use but would benefit from further information for additional baggage or sports equipment. For example, in our case, I contacted SD by telephone first to query position regarding skis and was advised to book a shuttle online for 6 people rather than 4 to allow for this extra baggage but which leaves the driver expecting 6 people in total rather than 4 people plus extra baggage requirements. It also left me a bit uncomfortable as to the correctness of the online booking should the driver have been able to refuse the 4 of us because he was expecting 6. Otherwise however the booking was process was painless and all dealt with immediately.
Driver was very friendly and absolutely on time for both transfers.
