Buying Guide
Computers have come quite a long way, it was once they were considered primarily a business tool, but now they've become a very big part of our lives. They're more than just for business now, they've become our multi-media entertainment centers, our gaming systems, and for some, a means of keeping in touch with people and sharing our lives with others.
In the world of today, most everyone has a computer, it has become so pervasive that for some, gone is the 9 to 5 daily grind of going off to a job, some of use stay home and do our work comfortably in our own surroundings.
I'm one of those people, I work from home for the most part on my computer, while I'm working though I like to listen to music, and I consider myself sort of an audiophile, or at least I was when I had the extra money to spend on such things, with children you have less disposable income of course. That doesn't mean though I have to sacrifice my listening enjoyment really, I like my music to sound good, and that's only possible through a decent set of speakers.
PC Speakers today come in all shapes and sizes and price ranges, it's now possible to get very good sound from a relatively inexpensive set of speakers, and some even offer surround sound for those that wish a more realistic sound or theater experience.
Types of Speakers:
There are several types or styles of PC Speakers available on the market today, but they can be categorized into two main types: Stereo and Surround.
Stereo or 2.0 Speakers are your basic two speaker setup that is commonly seen packed with computers that are bought from most any company. These speakers offer stereo sound, but can be made to simulate a surround sound experience through the use of drivers and software. Stereo speakers are the most basic type, next to mono-speakers but we won't go into that, these speakers can range from very inexpensive to very costly depending on the brand or types that you buy.
-Stereo Speakers can be purchased in many different styles, by this I mean the types and quantities of speakers that are housed within them. There are two very common styles, both come with two speakers in them but sometimes the speakers can be varied, some come with a woofer and a tweeter, while others will come with a woofer and a mid-range. Of course you can find speakers that also have all three style of speakers in them, these are the most desirable as they reproduce the sound much better, you'll get the full range of audio with all three types of speakers included. There are exceptions to this of course, and these exceptions usually add to the overall cost the product, you can get speaker with multiples of these speaker combinations, generally though it's usually more than one woofer that is included. You can usually find the information about the types of speakers used in the documentation of the product or often times listed right on the product packaging.
-Stereo Speakers can also be sub-categorized as well by names, you can find them called 2-way, 3-way or even 4-way speakers. The number though, just indicates the actual number of speakers inside the enclosure, and usually the more speakers the higher the price of the product itself, but more speakers do usually offer a much better quality sound experience.
Surround Sound Speakers have become very common with the increased popularity of home theaters and home theater PCs, these types of speakers can get confusing at times, there are quite a few choices that are offered. Surround sound formats goe by several names like: DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, Dolby Pro Logic Iix, Dolby Digital Ex, THX Surround, DTS-EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD,DTS-HD Master. I'm not going to go into the specifics of each one of these formats, there are several places online where you can find this information.
Surround sound can be broken down into a few main categories:
-2.1 Surround Speakers are normally comprised of two smaller speakers and a separate sub-woofer, the two smaller speakers are referred to as satellites and can have a mid-range or tweeter in them or one of both. These are essentially the same as stereo speakers with the exception or missing the sub-woofers from the speakers and the addition of a much larger sub-woofer on the side to emphasize the bass frequencies in multi-media such as movies, music and games.
-4.1 Surround Speakers consist of five speakers, it's an upgrade to the 2.1 setup with the addition of two more satellite speakers that are placed to the left and right of the user.
-5.1 Surround Speakers normally consist of six separate speakers: one sub-woofer, two front (right/left) speakers, two more (right/left) speakers that are often referred to as surround speakers, and a center speaker. The surround speakers are normally placed to the right of left of the viewing position of the audience. The center speaker is usually placed directly under or on top of the TV or monitor and is used for voices normally so the voices sound as though they are coming directly from the monitor.
-6.1 Surround Speakers consist of seven speakers total, the addition of one more speaker that site directly behind the audience or person viewing or listening to the audio. Some 6.1 systems can have eight speakers where there would be two that sit directly behind the audience.
-7.1 Surround Speakers generally consist of eight speakers total, it's basically an upgrade from the 6.1 setup where there are one additional surround or satellite speaker is added that are placed behind the viewing area or audience. The 7.1 setup gives the best overall surround sound experience as can be expected with the sound coming from all around the viewer.
Of course as more speakers get added to these systems the prices do go up a bit, but not much really for what you are getting from the overall audio experience.
One thing to note about all of these surround sound systems is that you must make sure your computer system is capable of producing surround sound and has the appropriate audio jacks included.
Many motherboards today come with 5.1 surround and higher, but you can also get an add-in card that will enable this feature for you. Most times the add-in cards product much better sound as they have a dedicated sound processor built right on them.
Purchasing Speakers:
The old adage 'you get what you pay for' rings very true with speakers, you cannot purchase a cheap set or speakers and expect good sound quality from them. (Of course there are exceptions to this rule where often times you can get quality speakers on sale or even on clearance from many places, especially those that handle overstocks or older products that have stopped production.)
When finally deciding to upgrade or purchase speakers new you'll want to first decide what you're using them for. Are they for your home PC that sits on your desk? Or for your gaming rig where you want to feel the thunder of the explosions and be immersed in your gaming? Or are they possibly for that new HTPC that you just setup for you own little home theater experience?
Another deciding factor is space limitations, how much room do you have to set aside for speakers? Some speaker setups can be large and take up a lot of real estate in your room or on your desktop.
Another factor in choosing speakers that is often missed is the type of music you listen to. Do you like bass-thumping, room shaking music? Or do you prefer subtle bass in your music that doesn't drown out the highs, lows and vocals? There are many sizes of speakers out there, generally the satellites are about the same size but sub-woofers vary greatly, and the bigger the woofer the bigger the thump.
Of course the ultimate decision is how much do you want to spend or how much can you spend on speakers? You can get lower prices speakers that have a decent sound quality, but if you enjoy good sounding audio then it's well worth it to invest in high quality speakers.
I like my music, and I like to hear every part of it, all aspects, notes, crisp highs and low lows that are involved. There are some people out there who cannot tell the difference between a good quality set of speakers and one that is made by some no name company somewhere, I honestly feel bad for these people they just don't know what they are missing in the audio enjoyment of their lives.

Johnny Weir at CoR -- what are your thoughts??
what are his chances of success at CoR??
can he make the minimum tech scores to qualify for worlds??

Johnny Weir at CoR -- what are your thoughts??
can he maybe snatch the bronze???
what are his chances of success at CoR??
can he make the minimum tech scores to qualify for worlds??
not sure
I'm not sure, too. Here's a great article about him: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news, he says he's working on a 4S, too! I don't think he can win a medal here: basing on his Finlandia programs, Kozuka, Chan and Oda are better than him, at the moment. I just hope he obtains the minimum TES! Considering that Dornbush, Menshov and maybe Brezina can be strong competitors, even a 5th place finish would be good... If he lands a fully rotated quad, he can fight for high placements, without it or having it </<<, he's definitely out of the podium...
I doubt that he will medal but I certainly wish him well.
With Kozuka, Chan, and Oda there, it will be a disaster for any of them if Weir is on the podium.
However, PJ Kwong has already predicted Patrick being off the gold medal stand :
The men's competition is going to be the most interesting.
Front and centre is the matchup between Canada's Patrick Chan and Skate America winner Takahiko Kozuka. On a good day, I think it would go to Chan. The problem is, Chan is off to a slow start this season while Kozuka looks poised and ready.
Toss into the mix Johnny Weir, Nobunari Oda, Konstantin Menshov and Denis Ten and I think we have all kinds of scenario possibilities in the race for the podium.Pj's gold medal picks
Men: Takahiko Kozuka, Japan
Ladies: Adelina Sotnikova, Russia
Dance: Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, Canada
Pairs: Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, Russia

Anything is possible. If you told me last week that Machida would win Gold at COC I would say you must be drunk. lol
I love Johnny but I think this is a tough competition for him to be on the podium.
I don't agree with PJ. I think Patrick will do much better at COR and take Gold.
LP practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=Vcfhb7ZBSzQ#!
^Oh my, Johnny looks like he is in great shape just fabulous! Thank you for sharing!
Don't a lot of skaters do this, though? At least that's my impression. Or maybe it was more a 6.0 thing. Still, I recall seeing essentially the same major elements in the same layout year after year from most skaters that I follow.
I think Weir is aware of how competitive/not competitive he is. I would love to see him get a bronze at CoR but that's not likely. Still, I think it's great he's taking it seriously enough to really train and get in shape at his age and after an absence. I would never have that kind of discipline!
I actually rarely saw this kind of recyclings from other skaters, even though I agree that many skaters do recycle their movements from time to time. Johnny's recycling has been purely in the concept of "hit pretty positions" as he put it in his interview. Were those "pretty positions" relevant to the music? That's something worth of questioning. I think often his "pretty positions" were isolated, exhausted ideas which had little to do with anything. This trend in his programs had started ever since he moved to Galina.
BB I like Johnny's pretty positions it is part of his skating and who he is. Why do you think he would change? You question whether they are relevant to the music, I can speak only for myself as a fan of Johnny's, the are very relevant to me.
To each of their own. To me, they were no more than just random pretty positions. I could totally imagine his movements in different music. Yes, they were pretty positions. When I saw them the first time in "fallen angels" trio, I loved them. But almost all subsequent Johnny's programs since 2007-08 season were like pointless recycles from his "glorious years".

What's missing in Johnny Weir's skating is opening his LP with a gorgeous 3Axel-3Toe. That is part of what made him so highly regarded at one point and he hasn't done it in forever. I've been saying ever since 2008 that he should be doing this jump layout:
*4Toe (replace with 3Flip at 2010 Nationals if getting too many < calls in prior competitions, since < calls were so massive back then and making the Olympic team was the most important thing for that competition)
Galina Zmievskaya is a terrible coach for jumps (just look at how little Petrenko and Baiul actually accomplished in their "Gold" medal performances) and she doesn't understand how to do good CoP programs either. That's the other reason why Weir hasn't had better competitive results.

The Nationals have signed infielder Jerry Hairston to a one-year, $2 million contract, giving the club a veteran who can take over at second base if rookie Danny Espinosa isn't deemed ready for full-time duty as well as a versatile utilityman who can play all over the field if needed.
Hairston, who spent last season with the Padres, can earn an additional $1 million in incentives. He has primarily played second base in his career but in recent years has refashioned himself as a utilityman who can also play shortstop, third base and the outfield.
With the recent additions of Hairston, reliever Todd Coffey, first baseman Adam LaRoche and left-hander Tom Gorzelanny, the Nationals' 40-man roster is over capacity. The club will need to remove four players to clear space for all the additions.
UPDATE AT 4:45 P.M. — We now know one of the roster casualties: J.D. Martin was given his unconditional release today, a move that corresponds with the official processing of LaRoche's contract at MLB headquarters. The other new players' contracts have not been processed by MLB yet, thus the other 40-man moves haven't been made yet.

- DFL - Jan 19, 2011 at 8:12 PM
Excellent signing. He can play second or left if Espinosa or Bernadina fails to perform and, on a short term basis, take over for Morgan if he hits .211 or knocks some kids' teeth out with his spikes.
- Anonymous - Jan 19, 2011 at 8:13 PM
Man, Mr Rizzo is fun. Pieces falling into place left and right. Now, if I can win the Powerball tonight, I could afford a season ticket.Still wanna see a leadoff hitter/centerfielder or at least a team hypnotist dedicated to keeping Nyjer from acting the buffoon. Or at least approach what we had in him this time last year.Huzzah!
- Drew8 - Jan 19, 2011 at 8:23 PM
I like the Hairston addition a lot. He's got pop, speed and versatility. What pleases me about this offseason is that, piece by piece, Rizzo is replacing the weak links with competence, character and athleticism.Sure, Gorezellanny, Hairston and Coffey aren't world-beaters, but they're fine major leaguers. They will be excellent complementary parts when the supernovas (Stras and Harper) arrive. And who knows, another star may rise among Cole, Solis, Norris and Ray.

I would trade Mock, Atilano, and Martin for a bag of chips at this point.

Broderick is also a Rule 5 pick. We took 2 this year.
- Peyton Dowdy - Jan 19, 2011 at 8:41 PM
Ladson tweeted that he was informed J.D. Martin is coming off of the 40 man roster.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Jan 19, 2011 at 8:42 PM
Chips would not count on the 40-man; however, pretzel sticks would. But pretzel nubs might, depending on how long they've been on the local Harris Teeter shelf. Less than three weeks signifies rookie nubs, and thus would not count. Three weeks to three months, nubs are under club control and would count as one-half roster spot. Over three months, counts as full service nubs and would have to be counted on the 40-man.I hope this clears up any confusion.My flunking four:Maxy (finally, on the 10th life).AtilanoMartinSeverinoMaxy, it's been nice watching you strike out 43 times in a 104 at-bat season. Maybe you can be the Nats' seventh TV color commentator in six years after Canseco takes care of Santalangelo.

"I was informed that RHP J.D. Martin is expected to be taken off the 40-man roster."JD Martin might get claimed …
- Ernie - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:08 PM
We're taking on excess middle infielders and pitchers. I'm thinking that Desmond/Espinoza and at least one of out better relievers, maybe with a starter, are getting packaged for a trade. But I'm both stupid and ignorant, so there's that to consider too…
- Anonymous8 - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:12 PM
So Alberto Gonzalez appears to have competition now with Cora for the last bench spot.Only other thought is that one of the projected starters not named Gorzelanny or Jordan Zimmermann could be traded to free up a roster spot.
- Peyton Dowdy - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:13 PM
Aaaandd JD Martin is the first casualty
- Anonymous - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:21 PM
AdamKilgoreWP The #Nats unconditionally released J.D. Martin to make room for Adam LaRoche, whose contract was approved today by MLB, Mike Rizzo said.So, now we know … JD Martin was released to make room for LaRoche. I think unconditionally means he wasn't designated so he looks to be permanently gone.Lannan can't be far behind : Rizzo's model appears to abhor soft-tossers.

Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me said… My flunking four:Maxy (finally, on the 10th life).AtilanoMartinSeverinoI think Maxwell has gone through 7 or 8 lives but if he survives this Final Four then he will be at 11 or 12.With getting Hairston and having Corey Brown and Eury Perez getting closer than the Nats have no reason to not cut him loose. If he isn't claimed then sign him to a Minor League contract.

Eury Perez played low A ball last year.He's not that close.

Love this signing. Hairston is a big upgrade over Willie Harris.
- Doc - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:46 PM
@ raymitten: Love this signing too–much more so than Joey Cora. However, the stats on Hairston and Wee Willie are very similar. Willie had as many HRs as Hairston, in half as many ABs. Still though, a good signing. Like the way that Rizzo is trying to fill in the spaces.
- Anonymous8 - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Anon @4:31, I am aware of where Eury Perez played and he can be 2 years away if he excels. Bryce Harper hasn't played in the Minor Leagues and Bill Ladson thinks he can be on the Nats Opening Day roster.

I hope Eury Perez has an opportunity in ST with the Nats, and if not ST, then hoping he plays well enough in the minors to get a call-up this year!
- Alex - Jan 19, 2011 at 9:56 PM
And, yea, it's nice to have a ladder of prospects behind Nyjer if he looks like 2010, not 2009, again:Bernadina or Werth (2011)Corey Brown (2012)Eury Perez (2013-14)Jackie Bradley, Jr. (Nats' 6th pick in '11 draft – CWS MVP out of S. Carolina?? A man can dream…)

Does anyone know that Coffey signed a major league contract? Any chance it was a minor league deal?
- Anonymous8 - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:04 PM
Alex, I agree with many that Corey Brown could be ready on June 1st of this year not 2012. He is spending his own money to work with a top trainer to be in the best shape of his career. I expect Corey to stand out as a top player in the crowded outfield in Spring Training but see him as a long-shot to make the Opening Day roster. I see him as the 1st callup if anyone falters or gets injured.
- Alex - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:07 PM
@Anonymous on Martin's "unconditional release": no place for him in AAA anymore (Martis, Milone, Detwiler, Atilano, Wang, Maya…). Nice problem to have…@Anonymous8 on Brown in June 2011: Thanks. even better.
- JD - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Can we calm down on Harper and Perez? They are not playing in the majors in 2011. If they spend any time in AA this year it will be a smashing success; more likely they both top out at high 'A' Potomac and play 2012 in AA with a highly optimistic 2012 Sept call up. Perez had an underwhelming .725 OPS at Hagerstown in 2010 and you think he can be in the majors in 2011?
- Anonymous - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:11 PM
That really ought to be the only time you draw correlations between Eury Perez and Bryce Harper. (And you do youself no help by citing Ladson as well but I'll let that slide)Eury Perez, a 20 year old who has never played above low A ball is not getting a call up this year. It's not just talent and experience, he needs to develop his body, get some strength, hit the ball into the gaps for extra base hits. I'm not down on the kid, but his earliest likely call up might be a cup of coffee in September 2012, more likely summer of 2013.How does a kid that fast only get 17 doubles out of 131 base hits? He's getting a ton of infield singles and bloop singles. If that doesn't change, he'll never see the bigs. He's probably not ready to face AA pitching this year and people want him in DC this year.
- Anonymous - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:12 PM
Ramirez (when Coffey passes physicalNo way that happens. The guy has heat that peaks at 100mph.Nope, more likely to see a guy coming back from injury:Wang or Mattheus at this point. I suspect Mattheus first.

- Alex - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:19 PM
@Anonymous: Mattheus already gone.If you're right on Ramirez, or even if the Nats want to see in ST, then Stammen (27 in March) or much less likely Balester (25 in June) may be the one to go.Ramirez has to make and stay in the majors or be sent back. That means the last bullpen spot (already got Storen, Clippard, Rodriguez, Burnett (LH), Slaten (LH), and Coffey?, + 1).I'm wondering whether Coffey's contract was minor league deal for that reason.Or whether Ramirez is redundant with Rodriguez (same profile and rule V draft was before the Oakland trade).
- Anonymous8 - Jan 19, 2011 at 10:20 PM
Anon @5:11, I never said Eury Perez would get a sniff of the Majors this year. I was hoping he would be in AA this season and go from there. Baseball America says 2013, but if he excels this year than 2012 could happen. A lot of "ifs".The reference to Ladson is what he wrote about Bryce Harper and was meant more for humor as he did write it.I am hoping Bryce Harper can be a June 2012 guy but still there is a lot of progress to take place.

He's probably not ready to face AA pitching this year and people want him in DC this year.kind of like they said about Boomer Whiting … and there's Curran ..let's see: In 116 at bats in winter ball Perez hit .345 with 21 stolen bases. OBP .397, GPA .276.Sue Dinem's composite scouting report:Above-average speed coupled with improved basestealing skillsled to 64 steals, 41 of which came in the second half. Scouts projecthim as a plus defender with accurate-but-average arm. Particularlyadept at slashing the ball up the middle and protecting with twostrikes, and has enough power to get gappers for doubles and triples.Add: still very young could develop power as his body develops.Yes 17 doubles BUT YOU seem to have MISSED THE FIVE TRIPLES?And HE DID hit 3 home runs?I believe that adds up 25 extra base hits along with 64 steals. Alongwith 42 RBI and 88 runs.No, he won't make the team this year. Next year might seem he will probably spend the entire year in Potomac. At that point he will be 21. We'll have to see where he and Harper end up. Right now Corey Brown is ahead of both of them.

You do realize that you are agreeing with me on most every point. He's got talent, he needs more time, he could be something, he ain't sniffing DC this year, and almost certainly next next either. You see FIVE TRIPLES AND 3 HR'S and Sue D's note about "enough power for gappers".I see a kid with a .381 slugging percentage.Call that gapper power if you want. He did hit ONE TRIPLE A MONTH!!!!

I was a pretty happy and enthusiastic Windows Phone 7 user. The Zune software worked great for keeping my PC & phone in sync.
I picked up a Lumia 920 on Friday, and good god, I don't understand how anyone thought the new sync process was a good idea.
I listen to a bunch of podcasts on both a Windows 8 pc and phone and have a mix of my own music and music downloaded via the Zune/Xbox music pass that I want to keep synced to my phone. This is a subset of my entire music library.
As far as I can tell with my 920 and the new sync apps, my options are:
- Use the desktop app with iTunes to manage my podcasts and music and then figure out how to get music pass downloads to my phone, although it seems like this is going to either leave me with a bunch of crap I don't want on the phone, or a bunch of crap missing.
- Manually manage syncing stuff, using a hodgepodge of on phone/on pc apps.
#1 might be ok, except the desktop software crashes constantly, so I can't actually sync anything to my phone. I tried the native Windows 8 phone app, but it's even more limited than the desktop version.
Why did they rid of the Zune software, if THIS is what they had to replace it? Is there something that I'm missing? - Use the desktop app with iTunes to manage my podcasts and music and then figure out how to get music pass downloads to my phone, although it seems like this is going to either leave me with a bunch of crap I don't want on the phone, or a bunch of crap missing.
I am literally going through the same hardship right now. All I want is to sync all my xbox pass music to my phone. I find a way to do it using the Desktop Windows Phone 8 App ( I dont know why the Metro Windows Phone 8 app doesnt have this feature)
The problem is when I use the desktop app, all the music I sync gets an error message saying "We cannot find the medial rights for this content"
And yes, I did verify that my Lumia 920 is authorized with my Xbox Music Pass. - 11-12-2012, 04:22 PM #3
Do they show up if you turn on the Xbox Music Cloud Collection option on the phone? SOME of my stuff showed up when that was enabled, but not all of it, so I have no idea what the criteria is for ending as part of the cloud collection. I suspect that feature doesn't quite work at the moment.
Yeah, when I have the Music Cloud collection on, they all show up for streaming. The issue comes when I try to sync those same songs that I downloaded.
However, all of my music is from xbox music pass so my situation might be slightly different.
Wow do I miss zune right now.....never thought I would say that. - 11-12-2012, 05:14 PM #5
You can subscribe and manage podcasts right from the phone. Heck you can manage pretty much every thing from the phone, which is what I prefer to do. You shouldn't really need to ever connect to a computer.
I haven't tried Xbox Music yet, but I'll try. - 11-12-2012, 05:17 PM #6
That's true, but that's not what I want to do.
I've been digging more to find out what the desktop software is doing when you sync podcasts, it's doing something special to mark podcasts when you sync from iTunes vs. just copying the files down locally.
In general, the sync software is super buggy and missing a lot of the features from the Zune software. - 11-12-2012, 06:28 PM #7
Almost happy with that, buuut I have some music that is not available on the Xbox Music store.
Secondly, while I can select a cloud album and download all tracks right from the phone, I have to download tracks in a playlist individually. That would get me at least half-way to what I need... - 11-12-2012, 07:12 PM #8
My windows phone desktop software gets about 70% through syncing my iTunes and then it crashes. It won't pull in my pictures at all. Its a real problem, particularly since there don't seem to be any third party apps that will do it better. Android had multiple choices, but so far, none seem ready for WP8. Hopefully that changes soon.
My smartphone history.
Yea, I am having issues to!! I just gave up on it! Instead, I removed Zune and all of the music I had with it and just re-did about 250 songs today, purely on the xBox music...without downloading and just will stream it because downloading and syncing to the phone just does not work between my W8 and WP8!!!! Also what is odd is if I download a song on my phone, it never shows up to stream on my pc xbox music and if I try to sync that way...same issue DRM!!!!! =)
I am going with a if it doesn't get fixed soon then I'll just cancel the pass...I can't go streaming music all day without a wifi connection lol!!
Just to add, it feels like Microsoft with all of their improvements with Zune, trashed that and brought back their MSN music which was nothing but a train wreck until Zune came along!Last edited by pinbak; 11-12-2012 at 08:17 PM. Reason: adding more!
It's a complete and utter trainwreck.
The W8 Music and Windows Phone sync apps are the two worst-designed pieces of software I have ever seen. I quit using an iPhone due to iTunes being awful, this is making me reconsider my decision to switch to WP. This setup is worse than iTunes right now and it makes me sick. - 11-13-2012, 07:32 AM #11
While I'm upset to think I might have been better off holding on to WP7.5 a little longer, I remember the first Zune software release was pretty rough too. Its clear this is little more than a file manager and not the final solution but I have no doubt they are much farther along than this software conveys. They probably just had to pull the switch and release barebones at launch day because the final solution isn't ready yet.
Right Microsoft? :)
Even then, WMP + podcast features built into the phone will get me by... Never will I crawl back to Mr. Potter.... I mean iTunes. - 11-13-2012, 08:28 AM #12
I'm going to convert all of my iTunes files to MP3s and load them into WMP and see if that makes it easier to sync. I certainly hope so. Now, if someone will just give us a player on the actual phone that goes into landscape mode for driving purposes, we will have one more than taken care of. I can't believe microsoft doesn't just give a media player app on the phone.
My smartphone history.
Can't you just bypass the app and just drag and drop? that's what I did...

I don't use the new WP8 toll for Win 7. I just use the file manager option. Drag and drop. No issues whatsoever. Makes pulling pictures off a **** of a lot easier than it was with Zune. "Plug in phone>Run Zune Software>(pictures sync to PC)>go to folder..." It got old, and annoying. I don't sync pictures to SkyDrive because I like having them on my local PC. So, the drag and drop method is so awesome now.

My XBOX Music Issues:
No way to sync a playlist that has XBOX music Pass songs.
The cloud music is a complete mess. Can't get a newly created playlist to appear across devices. Playlists are all over the map.
Album art is spotty at best from music I copy to the device from the app. If I download straight to the phone via my music pass, album art is fine.
And did I mention playlists with XBOX music songs will not sync via WMP? - 11-13-2012, 11:37 AM #17
No, because I don't want to end up manually managing syncing up 20 podcasts and thousands of songs.
And manually syncing podcasts doesn't work anyway, they show up as music.
I just find it crazy that the thing that drove me from using the Zune software to iTunes was Windows Phone 8. :(Last edited by vedichymn; 11-13-2012 at 11:54 AM.
I thought 8 was to be magical?
So WP8 and W8 don't play nice together? Great. - 11-13-2012, 12:51 PM #19
It is absurd. I am quite upset about this.
A update is out for the tool today.
Microsoft updates Windows Phone 8 PC sync client with improvements | Windows Phone Central - 11-13-2012, 01:00 PM #21
WP8 and anything don't play nicely together if you want any kind of automated sync, the desktop tool is for both Windows 8 and Windows 7
Unfortunately doesn't look like they added any features, still missing most of the features of the Zune software with WP7.
Hopefully the desktop tool gets updated soon. :( - 11-13-2012, 02:12 PM #22
Funny thing is, I am only using an Xbox Music Pass at the mo, and it's still a nightmare. I just want to be able to edit playlists on my phone as I listen to music, but no, impossible. I can't even heart/unheart tracks and deal with them later.
There's still no native podcast support outside the US and they took out wifi sync. WTF? - 11-13-2012, 03:20 PM #23
I hate how when it syncs or matches my personal library with their cloud library, it seemingly automatically goes for the "Edited" version. Try listening to some good old school Tupac where everything is edited out. And its a PITA to go through and manually match it to the "Explicit Content" version of the albums. MS needs to FIX this ASAP as well. This whole WP8 thing is becoming very exhausting. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone, just beginning to wish Nokia made this for Android. Google Music is too legit.
I am trying to give them grace as these are the first few versions of the desktop app and the touch app on W8, but it is very hard, because there really is no auto-syncing ability, and the length of time the desktop takes to refresh (because it doesn't cache the library) is really long. Even when syncing with WMP, because of the phone's rating system being like the Zune software (heart, no heart, broken heart), it doesn't sync ratings at all.
I think it can sync playlists to the phone, but cannot sync edited or added playlists back to WMP. - 11-13-2012, 05:23 PM #25
I just updated the tool. I STILL get the DRM issue when syncing downloaded Xbox Music Pass songs.
It streams just fine, but when I play a downloaded song, it says "Cannot verify media rights to this content".
They seriously need to get this resolved asap....streaming works fine but if I am on an airplane...I am gonna get screwed!!
At least Customer Support are aware of the issue....hopefully next update... -

Here's an expression on the president you probably haven't seen before: He's imitating gymnast McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" look.
The president met with members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics team on Thursday. The White House released the photo Saturday.
Maroney's astounding skills on the vault helped the team win gold, but during individual events, she won a silver in her signature event. During the medal ceremony, she was caught with the now infamous "not impressed face" that went viral.
After meeting with Obama, she tweeted, "Did I just do the not impressed face with the president?"

That is cool. But, there is a long way from wanting BTRFS to provide complete data integration, and for BTRFS to really do it in practice. It is not as easy to just add some checksums here and there. It is much more difficult. Today, after all these years since the first hard drive was sold, only ZFS provides good data integrity (which has actually been proven by comp sci researchers in papers) in a common filesystem. No one has succeeded before.
ZFS also have a good track record of providing good safety, there are lots of success stories with ZFS. Like, when one of the network cards at CERN(?) was faulty and injected faulty bits into the data stream, but ZFS immediately detected it (from another server). CERN is now migrating to ZFS machines, away from Linux hardware raid.
So, when you say that BTRFS offers complete data integrity - that is very doubtful. Because there are many strange situation that BTRFS needs to be able to handle, and we dont know if it does. It is like you say "yes BTRFS is totally guaranteed bug free". That is impossible to promise. So I dont agree with the web page you link to. Maybe it is the goal of BTRFS, but it is a good goal.
I read somewhere (cant find the link now, can someone link to the interview I talk about?) that the BTRFS developer said he got convinced to try to add data integrity to BTRFS after Sun talked a lot about it - before that, he didnt understood the importance. Therefore BTRFS is not designed from scratch to offer data integrity, it is an after thought and add on. But ZFS is designed from scratch to offer data integrity.
Sun and Solaris developers have decades of experience from Enterprise storage and they where the first to notice the need for data integrity and the problems that arise in Enterprise server halls. And other filesystems followed Sun/Solaris. Sun shows the way to the rest. To really do complete data integrity correctly, requires VAST experience. There appears to be only one full time BTRFS developer according to your link - does he have the required experience, has he a large database of all problems that haved occured in Storage halls? I doubt that. Complete data integrity is extremely difficult to do correctly.
But if BTRFS does not succeed providing complete data integrity, it is better that BTRFS gives us just some rudimentary protection than no protection at all. Sure, XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, etc also has lots of checksums all over the place to give data protection - but in formal academic studies the protection is very bad, in reality.
In short, it remains to see how good BTRFS offers data integrity. It is good though, that people become aware of the Silent Corruption problem and requests Data integrity. The more filesystems that provide data integrity - the better for us users. Exciting times indeed!

Colon cancer is the growth of cancer in the large intestine. The large intestine, or colon, absorbs water and nutrients from foods. After, the colon passes the solid waste to the rectum for storage, before it is eliminated from the body.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant growths. These growths can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but it is probably a combination of genetics and environment.
Being over 50 years old increases your chance of colon cancer. Other factors that may increase your chance of colon cancer include:
In most cases, there are no symptoms with colon cancer. When symptoms do appear, they may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will check the rectum for lumps or abnormal areas, and recommend different tests in order to identify tumors and confirm diagnosis.
Tests used to identify potential colon cancers include:
Additional tests may confirm the presence of colon cancer, determine what stage the cancer is in, and/or determine if the cancer has spread:
Treatment for colon cancer depends on how early it is detected, or if the cancer has spread.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment may include one or more of the following options:
Surgery is the main treatment for colon cancer. There are several options for surgery depending on the location of the cancer and how much it has spread:
Some surgeries may require temporary or permanent colostomies. A colostomy is a surgical opening through the wall of the abdomen into the colon. This is used as a path for waste material to leave the body. After a colostomy, you will wear a special bag to collect bodily waste.
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It is directed at the site of the tumor from a source outside the body. This therapy is aimed at the immediate area of the cancer.
This therapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms, including pill, injection, and catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells. They can also kill some healthy cells. This therapy is systemic, meaning it affects your entire body.
Targeted therapy uses medications to target and kill cancer cells, while sparing healthy tissue. They are currently used to treat advanced cancers. Targeted therapy is less harmful to healthy tissue, which reduces side effects. It may be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy.
Some medications can be used as part of a treatment plan. Other medications may help to either prevent or reduce side effects of treatments, or to manage certain side effects once they occur. These include:
Tell your doctor when you notice a new symptom, and ask if any of these medications are appropriate for you.
The causes of most cancers are not known. However, it is possible to prevent many colon and rectal cancers by finding and removing polyps that could become cancerous. Beginning at age 50, both men and women at average risk should follow one of the following screening options:
People with any of the following risk factors should begin colon and rectal cancer screening earlier and/or undergo screening more often:
Be sure to discuss colon cancer screening with your doctor to see how and when you should be screened.
There are lifestyle changes that may reduce your risk of colon cancer, such as:

Your idea of carry-on perfection? The Sky Train meets your desire for hands-free, easy-on, easy-off boarding of planes or trains. Specially designed for the leisure traveler going to Europe or beyond. Keeps you moving. No waiting for lost luggage--it's with you all the way. Once your Sky Train is on, you're gone!
DESIGNED BY TRAVEL EXPERTS. In 2007 Red Oxx teamed up again with web author and travel expert Doug Dyment of OneBag.com fame to develop this carry-on backpack travel bag. Think flexible-- this bag can be carried five different ways:
1. Carry like a suitcase using the Euro handle on the side. 2. Vertically using the Euro handle on the top of the bag. 3. Over your shoulder like a messenger bag using the Claw Shoulder Strap. 4. Cross body, also like a messenger bag, again using the Claw Shoulder Strap. 5. Or pull out the retractable backpack straps from the smugglers pocket and travel in hands-free comfort.
The grab loop Euro handles on the sides help make stowing the bag in the overhead bin a snap. Fits the luggage boarding size restriction box.
PLACES FOR YOUR BELONGINGS. The Sky Train features two main interior compartments and one full-length outside zippered flat pocket. The main compartment tie downs cinch down to the closed cell Volara foam, securing your clothing. These tie downs help keep your slacks and dress shirts wrinkle-free until you can hang them up in the hotel. Easily holds three pairs of slacks and three blouses with room leftover for a light jacket.
The secondary compartment has a foam stay and a small pocket for stashing personal items (9" x 12") spacious enough to hold your Toiletries, shoes, or workout gear... The rigid sewn-in Volara foam padding protects your belongings, but is still flexible enough to shove into a cramped overhead bin.
HOW TO PACK IT. Follow this link to learn Doug's bundle wrapping technique. Fit more in your Sky Train airline carry-on bag. Thanks to Onebag.com, here's a handy printable PDF Sky Train Packing Diagram. It covers how to "bundle wrap" for the Sky Train, your ideal backpack hybrid convertible travel bag. Or watch the packing video at left in the videos tab where professional travel guide Kasey Austin demonstrates some awesome packing tips.
A CONVERTIBLE CARRY-ON BAG BUILT LIKE A TANK? Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around bags that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a carry-on bag, Sky Trains are built tough. Starting with the most durable soft textile material available, 1000 weight CORDURA® Brand Nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is double stitched into every seam.
BOUND AND BAGGED. Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag.
In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
WHY DOUBLE BOX STITCHING? Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our time as parachute riggers.
MY, WHAT BIG ZIPPERS YOU HAVE! The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
PUTTING THE HARD IN HARDWARE. Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your bag break down?

For a men's walking shoe that does not skimp on comfort, the black full-grain leather Mephisto Match will take you wherever you need to go. Equipped with some of the highest quality footwear materials and technology, these sneakers are a treat for anyone looking for orthopedic support. In fact, the Match is expertly designed for extended durability, shock absorption, joint relief and breathability. Throughout the shoe you'll find additional features like extra padding at the tongue and collar; removable insoles for custom insert placement; and a 100% caoutchouc rubber outsole for maximum traction on a variety of surfaces.
Mephisto Match Black Leather Men's Shoe
Features include:
Mephisto match dress shoes, and shark sandals have been the only shoes to provide excellent back support and comfort since I started wearing them 14 years ago. I have 2 ruptured discs from a soccer accident and the difference is amazing. I went on vacation to Hawaii and forgot the shark sandals. For two days I was in pain and realized the good sandals I bought were no were near Mephisto. I bought the shark sandals and 1 day later no pain. I only wear Mephisto's for business and casual wear.
I always dread buying new shoes because they either never carry my size in the styles I like or they end up not being very comfortable after being on my feet all day. This was the second pair of shoes I purchased within a month because the first pair (Clarks Nature 2) although much cheaper didn't feel comfortable after extended use as they were much to soft in the sole. I hesitatingly tried on the Mephisto Match shoes thinking I would never pay $350 for a pair of shoes! To my surprise they fit like a glove and my weight felt evenly dispersed across the entire foot bed. The craftsmanship of the shoe was superb and the soles were supportive without feeling spongy as most walking shoes are. I have had them for three months now and I am very happy with my purchase!
This is a heavy shoe due to solid construction and top of the line materials. I usually buy size 11 but had to return for 10.5 to get proper fit. also order the Shark sandle and had the same sizing issue.Footwar Etc. is an online company that I would highly recommend. great experience.
With Mephisto's resoling program shoes are indestructable. Mephisto offfers several levels of reconditioning all the way from new shoelaces all to total rebuild including outer soles,shocks,inner soles, inner heel backs, insoles, dying where necessary and stitching where necessary. Pricey up front but all the "lives" of the Mephisto Match more than make up for it. Mephisto resoling program is very well run and accomodating to individual needs
Good looking

An understated but powerful logo that makes effective use of textures. The typeface is intriguing and draws you in while the subtle contrast makes a statement. The monochrome approach could work more effectively with slightly more contrast between the text and background.
Posted in Branding → LogoA solid logo for a pizza company that uses red very effectively. I particularly like the intriguing design of the typeface and the use of patterns.
Posted in Branding → LogoA strong and striking shark logo designed for shark week. I love the interesting selection of bright orange for a background colour, it really makes an impact. The illustrative style of the shark, and its human stance, is simply great.
Posted in Branding → LogoA perfectly crafted logo for a garden designer that takes a whole host of organic concepts and weaves them together. I particularly like the colour palette and chosen typeface.
Posted in Branding → LogoHere we have a great crest-style logo that makes an immediate impact. The colour palette is perhaps a little different than you would expect, but it works. I particularly like the use of textures and the consistent thickness of the lines.
Posted in Branding → LogoAn awesome redesign concept for the Adobe Photoshop logo. I love the glowing nature of the colours and the abstract design.
Posted in Branding → LogoThe boldness of this logo is what really stands out here. The thick lines making an immediate impact. I like the bright red chosen, but feel the design itself could use some clarity - is it a mountain?
Posted in Branding → LogoWhile an abstract logo can sometimes distract from what it is the person (or company) does, this particular example is easily intriguing enough. I love the variety of colours and shapes that make up the design.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simple but effective logo design that aims to make a statement about the company itself. I like the restrained colour palette and the use of a recognisable shape.
Posted in Branding → LogoA good logo for a meeting web app. The venn diagram concept works well for this kind of purpose. I like the quirky typeface and the interesting colour palette.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simple logo that makes good use of a bold and striking colour. I particularly like the contrast between the curved and straight lines.
Posted in Branding → LogoA very simple, but purely effective, personal logo for a designer. I really like the distressed texture and attention to little details. Would work great on stamped or letterpress business cards.
Posted in Branding → LogoA good example of a logo that uses strong colours to make an impact. I like the fiery colours and bold mark of this company. The typeface is relatively standard, but clear and readable.

Buchholz eyes seventh win in opener against Twins
Worley still seeking first win with Minnesota opposite Boston star
Six starts, six wins, and a 1.01 ERA.
It'd be hard to ask for more out of a pitcher than what Clay Buchholz has given the Red Sox this season.
As the Twins travel to Boston to start a four-game series with the Red Sox on Monday, Buchholz takes the mound looking to be the first pitcher to go 7-0 this season.
"Confidence is at the bottom of it," said manager John Farrell. "And that gives relaxation, and that's where no matter the player or position, when they're confident and relaxed, that's typically when their best talents come out consistently and leads to the performance that we're seeing. It's not any one given pitch. It's not a foreign substance. And it's a matter of a very good pitcher taking that ability to the mound each and every time."
Buchholz hasn't been friendly to the Twins lineup over recent years, going 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA in four starts against them since 2010. He's similarly dominated the entire American League Central, with an 11-2 record and 2.53 ERA against the division in that time.
"I think it's just the overall maturity of him knowing himself more as a pitcher," Farrell said. "We've talked about this a couple of times already. You see the game being under control. You don't see that emotional spike, where all of a sudden it's going to revert to maybe overthrowing or maybe relying on one type of pitch."
With a .178 batting average against, Buchholz hasn't allowed too many baserunners this season. And the ones that have reached have hardly scored. Buchholz has stranded 91.4 percent of them, the third most in the Majors among qualified starters.
"He doesn't abandon any one of those four pitches when he's had men on base," Farrell said. "That's why he's left a number of guys stranded."
During his last start on Wednesday at Toronto, Blue Jays TV broadcasters Dirk Hayhurst and Jack Morris accused Buchholz of applying an illegal substance to his forearm in order to doctor the ball. In a later interview with ESPN.com, Morris alleged that Buchholz was throwing a spitball during his outing, which lasted seven scoreless innings in a 10-1 Boston victory.
Buchholz, the American League Pitcher of the Month for April, denied those allegations, saying that he simply uses rosin and water to help his grip, not any foreign substances. The rest of the team brushed off Hayhurst and Morris' remarks, as well.
In typical Minnesota franchise fashion, Twins pitchers have walked just 63 batters in 27 games this season, far and away the best in the league.
Monday starter Vance Worley has just nine of them. But walks haven't been his problem. The pitches he's thrown over the plate have been.
Opponents are hitting Worley to a .362 clip this season. His last start against the Tigers was one he'll want to forget -- he allowed 10 hits and six runs, including three homers, while falling to 0-4 on the season.
It's not the start the Twins were looking for when they traded center fielder Ben Revere to Philadelphia to acquire the righty.
"I don't have an answer," said manager Ron Gardenhire. "We haven't had him that long. Right now, I know the reason is because he hasn't commanded the game early. He makes bad pitches that end up in the seats."
Red Sox: Bailey to undergo MRI
When Joel Hanrahan struggled, and eventually hurt his hamstring, in his first chance as closer for the Red Sox this season, Andrew Bailey took over the job he couldn't hold last season and was brilliant. But Bailey's dominance came at a price: right biceps soreness.
Bailey will undergo an MRI when he returns to Boston on Monday morning as the Red Sox hope to get a better understanding of what's bothering the right-hander.
"He's got an exam scheduled for [Monday] morning," Farrell said. "As much to give him some peace of mind in what he's dealing with, because it's in that last 10 percent of intensity where he feels some of the symptoms he's going through. For our own information and his piece of mind, we've got to get that looked at thoroughly."
Twins: Plouffe heating up
Expectations were high for Trevor Plouffe this season, following a year in which he hit 24 homers in just 422 at-bats.
He got off to slow start at the plate, but with another home run Sunday, Plouffe has gone 9-for-29 with two home runs over his past eight games, raising his average from .196 to .238.
With the middle of the Twins' order struggling to find consistency, a hot-swinging Plouffe could provide some comfort for Justin Morneau or Chris Parmelee in front of him.
Worth noting
• Morneau requested to be moved to designated hitter before Sunday's 4-1 win against the Indians because of general soreness. He had previously started 25 of 26 games at first base this season.
• Right-handers Cole De Vries and Samuel Deduno are making progress in their returns from injury. De Vries started his rehab assignment with Class A Advanced Fort Myers on Sunday, while Deduno was activated from the Minor League disabled list at Triple-A Rochester.
• Will Middlebrooks and Shane Victorino each had routine days off Sunday and are expected to be back in the lineup Monday.
• David Ortiz homered Sunday and has hit safely in 25 straight games dating back to last year, a career high.

Bruno Mars Concert Tickets |
Bruno Mars: Unorthodox Jukebox At age 27, Bruno Mars is already a bonafide pop legend with a Grammy Award, millions of sales and songs at the top of the charts. Now you can see him on tour in support of his second album Unorthodox Jukebox with Bruno Mars concert tickets! Bruno Mars: Doo-Wops & HooligansAfter serving as a producer for some of the biggest names in hip hop, Bruno Mars is ready for his close up. He's one of the year's hottest acts and everyone is saying he's one of the most exciting performers to come up in a long time. With hits like Grenade and Just the Way You Are you know that Bruno is ready to please the crowd. And with his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans being one of the highest-selling albums of the year its easy to see why he's taking the industry by storm. About Bruno Mars Bruno Mars was born and raised in Hawaii, with the real name of Peter Gene Hernandez on October 8, 1985. Music was in his blood, as Bruno's family had a rich musical tradition. In fact, growing up Bruno performed concerts with his family band, entertaining tourist to Hawaii. Bruno Mars: The Beginning With a head start in the music industry, the singer-songwriter and music producer moved to Los Angeles when he finished high school. Bruno Mars scored a solo deal with Motown Records, however, the deal was not great for the young musician and the label had trouble marketing their newest star. Instead, Bruno Mars switched gears to concentrate on producing. That's right, Bruno started his professional career in music as a producer. He produced songs for other artists as part of the Smeezingtons production team, alongside Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. As part of the group he also found a way to showcase his melodic voice. The Smeezingtons have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including working on B.o.B.'s Nothin' On You and Right Round by Flo Rida. Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons have also worked with Justin Bieber, Kid Cudi, Cee Lo Green, Matisyahu and many more. After leaving Motown Records he moved on to Atlantic Records, and that's where his story really picks up steam. Bruno first started getting the attention of the mainstream for his melodic backup vocals on Nothin on You as well as Travie McCoy's Billionaire. In October of 2010 he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans and Bruno's place among the stars of music was cemented. The album exploded onto the music scene, reaching as high as #3 on the Billboard charts. Featuring the radio hits Just the Way You Are and Grenade, the album was one of the biggest hits of 2010. The album Doo-Wops & Hooligans was nominated for seven Grammy's and Bruno Mars took home the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance award. The New York Times called it "an effortless, fantastically polyglot record that shows him to be a careful study across a range of pop songcraft." Bruno Mars: On the Come Up Bruno Mars is primarily of Puerto Rican and Filipino descent, a aspect that has had a deep impact on his musical career. His first EP was "It's Better if You Don't Understand," the tittle of which reflects his mixed heritage. Growing up in Hawaii, Bruno Mars would entertain audiences, impersonating Elvis and more. "I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family." Drawing form a huge pool of influences, the music of Bruno Mars makes him one of the most unique artists out there today. He counts Elvis and Michael Jackson as two of the biggest influences on his musical development. When you are bobbin' your head at a Bruno Mars concert, you might hear the influence of reggae music and Motown in his bold musical style. |
