Club Tijuana is going all in with their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second leg against the LA Galaxy.
Tijuana head coach Cesar Farias opted to use a reserve-laden squad in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Cruz Azul in Mexico City. Cruz Azul striker Marco Fabian tallied twice as La Maquina roared back from an early deficit to extend Tijuana's league road winless streak to 20 games.
The Xoloitzcuintles went ahead in the 45th minute when San Diego native Alejandro Guido fed Paul Arriola with a through ball that split two Cruz Azul defenders before the former Galaxy Academy attacker fired a pass across the goal mouth to Richard Ruiz, who scored from close range.Tijuana's lead would not last, however, as Fabian fired a blast from beyond 25 yards just two minutes into the second half to equalize.
Fabian struck again in the 70th minute with yet another classy finish, this time from close range to give Cruz Azul the victory. Heading into Champions League quarterfinal second leg against the Galaxy, Tijuana sits in 10th place in the Liga MX 2014 Clausura Tournament with 14 points and a 4-5-2 record.
On Sunday, Galaxy attacker Landon Donovan stated that Farias' willingness to save his first team players for the Champions League second leg showed just how important the competition has become in recent years.
"It's a sign of the times," said Donovan following Galaxy training on Sunday. "I think that five years ago, they would have played their full team against Cruz Azul and we would have gotten their reserve team, but now, these teams realize that they can't do that anymore. We're going to see their absolute best effort on Tuesday and we're going to need to be ready."
Highlights of Tijuana's loss to Cruz Azul are below.
CARSON, Calif. – Gyasi Zardes was blunt when asked about his offensive performance in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Club Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.
"I don't think that I did good at all," Zardes told LA Galaxy Insider following the team's training session on Saturday morning. "I could have been a better threat. We got the result, but I wasn't much of a threat."
Following a successful start against Real Salt Lake, Zardes struggled going forward against Tijuana as his passing and crossing was frequently off the mark with the forward completing just 13 of his 27 passes. Meanwhile his darting attacking runs amounted in little as he was blanketed by speedy Xolos right back Juan Nunez. Although he struggled to create going forward, Zardes did excel defensively making 11 recoveries and a single clearance to help LA keep the shutout.
"Good physical effort, but he has to be better technically," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. "He's still young and it's going to be up and down. As he gets into the season and we get into a rhythm, we're going to see some good soccer out of him."
Whether Zardes remains in the starting XI for the second leg is still up in the air, however, as substitute Stefan Ishizaki was solid in a 20 minute shift against Tijuana. But if he is indeed starting at the Estadio Caliente, Zardes understands that he'll need to have a more complete performance.
"I just need to make sure that I defend as well as attack," said Zardes who asserted that he expected to see a full-strength Xolos team face LA on Tuesday. "I need to be smart with the [forward] runs that I make and listen to my teammates."
Should Zardes start?

CARSON, Calif. -- MLS teams have struggled mightly in Mexico witha 2-26-5 record all-time, but when the LA Galaxy takes the field on Tuesday evening at Estadio Caliente in their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second leg match, they'll have a player on their team who has tasted CCL victory south of the border.
LA Galaxy left back James Riley was in the Seattle Sounders FC starting XI on August 23, 2011 when Seattle gave MLS their second ever victory in Mexico with a 1-0 victory over C.F. Monterrey in CONCACAF CCL group stage. Riley's play was instrumental on the game-winning sequence as he helped force a turnover that resulted in a Sounders counter attack that ended when current Galaxy assistant coach Pat Noonan fed Alvaro Fernandez who fired a blistering shot past Monterrey goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco. Seattle's feat came just a week after FC Dallas defeated a reserve-laden Pumas UNAM to become the first team to win in Mexico, but has not been repeated since.
"We put an experienced bunch out and came in with a gameplan that said that we wanted to catch them on the break or a set piece. We got guys behind the ball and, to be honest, there was some fortune on our side. Our goalkeeper [Terry Boss] played huge, some guys made some critical plays and we were able to hold on for the victory."
Although the stakes for Tuesday's quarterfinal are considerably higher than they were when Seattle knocked off Los Rayados, Riley believes that there are lessons to take from the Sounders' victory.
"We think that Tijuana will come with the same high tempo and try to force the issue early on, which we can expect," said Riley. "We'll simply need to be ready."
Highlights of Seattle's game-winning goal are below. Riley can be seen at the outset forcing a Monterrey attacker to pass the ball away from the end line, which leads to the decisive turnover .
Marcelo Sarvas preaches that the LA Galaxy must be ready to attack during important second leg in Tijuana
CARSON, Calif. – Marcelo Sarvas knows that there's a battle looming ahead for the LA Galaxy.
Sarvas' fortitude in central midfield was vital during the Galaxy's 1-0 victory in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Club Tijuana on Wednesday. Throughout the match, Sarvas and midfield partner Juninho tussled frequently with Tijuana sparkplug Cristian Pellerano who provided the engine for the Xolos.
The Galaxy midfield controlled the issue in the first half but the Xolos dominated the second half even forcing Sarvas to make a key off-the-line stop in the 68th minute of a Javier Gandolfi header. The save was an important one for Sarvas, who Omar Gonzalez stated after the game, was criticized internally for conceding goals while he was supposed to be defending the near post.
"Marcelo got a lot of flak last year about letting goals in while he was supposed on the post. I'm sure since he saved that one; he'll let Bruce know 'hey, look what I did,'" joked Gonzalez.
Heading into the second leg at Estadio Caliente, Sarvas is among three Galaxy players (Gyasi Zardes and Omar Gonzalez being the others) holding a yellow card as the Galaxy prepare to head down to the raucous Tijuana stadium. Although the Brazilian midfielder will need to be smart about his challenges due to the caution, he's ready for the challenge.
"We've never been there, but we know that it is artificial grass and their fans will be loud. We know that they will press for 90 minutes and it'll be more like the second half [of the first leg]," said Sarvas. "We have to be able to create something on the counter attack and score a goal. If we score a goal, the scenario will change."
POLL: How confident are you heading into the LA Galaxy's CCL quarterfinal second leg against Club Tijuana?
CARSON, Calif. -- We're at Matchday Minus-Five before the LA Galaxy take on Club Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second leg at the Estadio Caliente.
After the Galaxy earned a 1-0 victory over Tijuana at StubHub Center on Wednesday thanks to some clinical finishing by Samuel and cat-like reactions from goalkeeper Jaime Penedo, setting up a do-or-die match south of the border. Following the match, Club Tijuana were adamant that the series was merely at "halftime" as the two teams prepare to head down to the Estadio Caliente where they have won 18 of their last 19 league matches.
While Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena stated that the club was in a "good, but not great" position heading into the match in Tijuana, just how confident are you feeling heading into the second leg?
It's week two of the MLS season and even though the LA Galaxy will not be playing, MLS Fantasy participants will be keeping a close eye on the action.
In my first week, "The LA Galaxy Insider" fantasy team finished with a total of 52 points in what was a disappointing week, but according to MLS Fantasy guru Ben Jata, just above average. Thanks to the Galaxy's scoreless performance against Real Salt Lake and zero points from starting midfielder Oriol Rosell, my team managed only 54 points and finished the week ranked No. 267 in the Los Angeles Galaxy group. The showing could have been even worse if it wasn't for 12 points from Chivas USA midfielder Mauro Rosales and 11 points from FC Dallas forward Blas Perez.
Betting heavily on LA wasn't the only issue for my team in week one as I also selected two players from the New England Revolution, who were demolished 4-0 by the Houston Dynamo in week one.
My performance from the first week is below.
Well, out with the old and in with the new.
With the Galaxy on a bye this week, my two transfers were to remove Robbie Keane and Juninho from the starting lineup, while I replaced A.J. DeLaGarza with Houston Dynamo full back Kofi Sarkodie. To replace Keane, I opted for Dynamo forward Will Bruin, who tallied 15 points in week one with two goals and one assist. Bruin and Sarkodie appear to be safe selections as the Dynamo prepare to take on a Montreal side that is coming off a 3-2 defeat to FC Dallas. In that defeat, the Impact struggled to contain Perez, making Bruin a safe play heading into the second week of the season.
Meanwhile, Juninho was switched out for new Vancouver Whitecaps FC Designated Player Pedro Morales who takes on Chivas USA at StubHub Center on Sunday after scoring a goal and an assist in a substitute performance during Vancouver's 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls. Although the Rojiblancos were victorious on a late goal last week, they were frequently tested by the Chicago Fire attack and should be pressured early and often by a Vancouver offense that smashed the defending Supporters' Shield winning Red Bulls last week. If needing some punch in your attack, signing Morales appears to be a safe option as he is likely to be in the starting lineup against Chivas.
My team for the second week of MLS Fantasy is below.

EA Sports' FIFA franchise has become a major part of soccer culture across the globe and in this video by Kick TV, LA Galaxy stars Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez take on New York Red Bulls stalwarts Tim Cahill and Thierry Henry in a game of FIFA 14.

Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. -- Club Tijuana may have dropped their first leg to the LA Galaxy 1-0 on Wednesday, but to the Mexican side, they're simply down a goal at half time.
The Mexican side found themselves down a goal after just 11 minutes on Samuel's strike from close range, but their attack came alive in the second half as they repeatedly tested the Galaxy defense and forced LA goalkeeper Jaime Penedo to make several remarkable stops to keep the home side ahead at full time.
"It's a game that has 180 minutes, it was not a great result for us but it is also not a bad one considering we played away. It was a hard game," said Tijuana head coach Cesar Farias who labeled the Xolos fan presence at StubHub Center 'spectacular.' "We had two goals on the line, and we pushed trying to grab the tie. We were very stable on the defensive line and we were good with air balls. We had a distraction that cost us the win, but it's a win that we can come back from in Tijuana and we are going to work with the same professionalism and with a lot of hope that we will be able to win in Tijuana."
Much of Tijuana's early struggles in the attacking ended from the uneven play of the starting forward tandem of Fidel Martinez and Jaime Ayovi, who rarely tested the Galaxy defense. However, once Farias through on forward Dario Benedetto who was unable to start due to an Achilles injury, Tijuana began to dominate the run of play. The Tijuana attack was only bolstered when former Galaxy attacker Herculez Gomez entered the match for Ayovi in the 80th minute and nearly tallied twice in the final 10 minutes before the final whistle blew.
As the two teams prepare to head down to the Estadio Caliente, where Tijuana has lost just one league match in more than a year, Gomez believes that the Xolos ability to pressure the LA defense will prove decisive.
"They are an intelligent team, they are organized. The first half they showed how organized they could be. I think what helped us was how urgent we were in the offensive side. I think we created a lot of problems in the second half, but it should be like that during the whole 90 minutes, and not only 45."

Samuel pleased with his "poacher's goal" that seals victory over Club Tijuana in CCL Quarterfinal first leg
CARSON, Calif. - New Brazilian forward Samuel was brought to the LA Galaxy to finish the chances that the team often squandered in 2013 and on Wednesday against Club Tijuana, he did just that.
Samuel tallied the game-winner in the 11th minute off a sequence that began when Marcelo Sarvas launched a cross that bounced off Robbie Keane to the path of the Brazilian for the easy finish that sealed LA's 1-0 victory in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal first leg. The goal wasn't the only high point for the Brazilian who provided a physical presence up top during his 70 minute shift.
"We played against a very difficult team so it was very important for me to score," said Samuel after the match. "I saw it come off Keane's knee and I was right there ready to score. ... Of course, I was expecting that ball to bounce to me. With a player like Robbie Keane, you have to expect everything so I was ready for the play."
Added Landon Donovan, "It was a good poacher's goal. He does that in training, he is always around the goal. It was good for him, an important goal, and he did very well tonight."
But one question remains: did Keane intend for that deflection to bounce in the path of the waiting Brazilian?
"Of course, you know me," asserted a chuckling Keane postgame.

Conklin Makes More School History Beind Named Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Week for Third-Straight Week
March 15, 2011
HIGH POINT, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's Melanie Conklin continues to demolish the school record books being selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Softball Pitcher of the Week for the third-consecutive time during week number six in the 2011 season.

Conklin started the week with 12 strikeouts in a complete game, last-second loss to Newberry. On Saturday at Erskine, Conklin again went the distance allowing just one run on five hits with 10 more strikeouts in the 3-1 league victory. On Sunday against Lander, Conklin delivered another complete game, this one via shutout, scattering just four hits in the win. Conklin finished the week with 14 strikeouts in 21 innings pitched equaling three complete games.
On the year, Conklin has a slim 1.59 ERA with 74 strikeouts in 66 innings of work with seven complete games holding opponents to a league-best .168 batting average. This is the third consecutive week this year Conklin has received this award, repeating the honor from week four and week five. Pfeiffer is currently 13-13 overall and 7-1 in the conference.

To address the issue of whether the United Kingdom has retained its sovereignty requires a number of points to be examined. First, in 2006, what exactly is 'sovereignty' within a nation?
Areas to examine:
1) House of Commons the functions of this? Does the EU restrain the work of Parliament?
2) House of Lords as above, does the EU restrain/trespass on the work of the Lords?
3) Law Lords and our judicial system? Has the EU undermined this?
4) Government policy does the government determine its own policy or does it have one eye on the EU and EU legislation?
5) Manifesto pledges were these domestic oriented or did they have one eye on the EU?
6) Impact of the European courts on the UK?
7) Impact of the Euro on the UK?
8) Is the UK becoming more European in its policies?

Softball Ties with Coker Being Selected Fifth in Preseason Coaches Poll
January 26, 2011
HIGH POINT, N.C. - Limestone College and Queens University of Charlotte share this years top position on the softball preseason poll as voted on by league head coaches. While both teams received 74 points, Queens edged out Limestone with a 6-3 advantage in first place votes. Pfeiffer, who enters its first season with head coach Amy Yates, finished in a tie with Coker for the fifth spot.
Queens University of Charlotte is poised to make the 2011 season their third in as many years to win the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship. As the current defending tournament champions, Queens will rely heavily on its experienced players, including returning tournament MVP and Co-Pitcher of the Year Chantel Dodge. Dodge is joined by fellow pitcher Brandy Jester and the duo give Queens a dynamic pitching style that will make it hard for opponents to stop the Royals.
First-year Head Coach Miranda Ervin knows the sky is the limit in what the team can achieve this spring, Each and every player works hard more for the team than themselves and when players do that, you know the team can be successful. These players have shown great progression from the fall season and we are ready to get out there and show the conference what we are all about.
Limestone College amassed an impressive 14-4 record in conference play on their to their second consecutive Conference Carolinas regular season championship in 2010. The Saints who finished last season with a school record 40 wins fell just short of reaching the NCAA Tournament after falling to Queens 6-5 in 9 innings in the conference championship game.
LC returns four of their top five hitters from a season ago including junior outfielder Jenna Guse who was second on the team in batting average (.327) and led the team in steals (16). She is joined by senior catcher Hannah Mills who lead the team in batting average at .330 and by junior infielder Jordan Smith who batted .292 last season. Sophomore outfielder Kirstyn Burleson also returns after leading the team with seven home runs, 40 RBI and a .481 slugging percentage.
The Saints also return their top two pitchers from last season in senior Emily Wallace and sophomore Leah Quant. Wallace posted a 12-4 record with a team leading 1.06 ERA. She only allowed nine free passes in 125 innings pitched. Quant, who was selected as the Conference Carolinas Co-Pitcher of Year, boasted a 17-9 record with a 1.23 ERA. She finished the season with 178 strikeouts in 176.2 innings pitched.
At first glance, it would appear the Erskine College softball team would be in a rebuilding mode after graduating eight seniors from last years squad that included five starters and finished in second place in the leagues regular season at 14-6 and 23-23-1 overall record. But with an infusion of young talent last season, especially on the hill, the Flying Fleet are pushing toward another successful campaign for the 2011 season.
Last year freshmen pitchers Heather Richey and Kelsey Spurrier combined to go 16-10 with a 1.48 ERA, 45 walks and 164 strikeouts. Both freshmen threw a no-hitter and were named to All-Conference teams. In addition, fellow freshman Larissa Shannon earned Conference Carolinas Freshman of the Year honors by hitting .336 with nine home runs and 30 runs batted in.
Mount Olive College returns two pitchers and six position players this year, including all five 2010 All-Conference Carolinas selections. Leading the way is senior shortstop and two-time all-conference selection Kelly Minshew. Also returning is first team catcher Robbin Kennedy, along with second teamers Alyssa Bradshaw (designated hitter), Aubrey Reinhard (first base) and Kristin Ware (pitcher). Bradshaw hit two home runs in last year's Conference Carolinas Tournament.
Rounding out the softball preseason poll 5-10 was: Coker & Pfeiffer (tied), Belmont Abbey, Lees-McRae, Barton, and St. Andrews respectively.

More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Panasonic is refreshing older lenses in its line-up with a more modern looking exterior finish and, with this model, a new optical design that makes it smaller, lighter and more modestly priced than its predecessor. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Not too long ago, people assumed that choosing a micro 4/3 camera was the same thing as choosing a more versatile compact camera. Then the happy owners would start thinking about getting a zoom lens for this small camera and discover that… the zooms were nowhere near as compact as their camera. What they ended up with was not as pocketable as they hoped, but unfortunately, there are scientific optical laws that can't be changed.

U.S. News & World Report - A GPS for Every Budget
Aug 14 2007 -
The new TomTom GO 720 received praise from U.S. News & World Report in their GPS roundup "A GPS for Every Budget." They cited the GO 720's unique technology TomTom Map Share "network for sharing changes to maps, such as roads closed for construction." They also liked it's price, stating that, "[m]odels in this price range typically come with bigger screens, like the 4.3-inch screen on the 720. ...The 720 can act as a Bluetooth hands-free kit for your cellphone, for instance. It can also store and play digital music and record voice memos, handy for supplemental driving directions."

Trolling in this community
First off - before I say this, this isn't a complaint about moderation, it's about the community itself. Instead of taking this as whining or moaning, please take it as constructive feedback from a newcomer, who has, quite frankly, been put off of coming here, and probably wont be returning on a regular basis.
I've been a long time reader of MacRumors, and about a month ago decided to join in on the forums - what a mistake that was! From my brief 1 month experience, here's what I've noticed:
- There are no constructive arguments here. People instantly seem to jump down the "no, you're talking ********" route.
- There is an insane amount of trolling for a moderated community. This isn't just something I've noticed about replies to my own posts, but to people who are much more established, too. It's hard to hold a sensible discussion, or to argue your point in a mature way, when you're confronted with comments like "I love how you're back-pedalling, hard."
- If you're pro-apple on these forums, you seem to get a lot of stick from a very vocal "APPLE ARE ALWAYS WRONG AND OUT TO GET US" section of the community. Which is ironic, really, for an Apple based forum.
I've found that it's impossible to actually hold a discussion on this site if your views differ from that of the vocal minority. Which is a shame, since I love the idea here, but the problem with trolling and attacking here seems to be way out of hand - even when compared to other similar sites.
|Nov 17, 2012, 07:07 AM
Unfortunately, it's futile to wish for it to be any other way. You are probably just about to get told where you can go, I'd imagine.
If you want to make yourself feel better, pop over to the snake pits that are the DPReview forums. If you survive that with any semblance of faith left in your fellow man, then you might find returning to Mac Rumors is a slightly fluffier experience than you'd thought.

You get used to it and, with time, can filter the nonsense from the gold. There is also the "ignore" list for the tiresome bores. Don't give up as there is much to be learned from being a regular member. The mods walk a fine line between removing obvious bs and continuing the flow of free discussion and it's not always easy, from a completely balanced perspective, to do this. Having said all that, some sub-forums are better than others.

There are really simple ways like "don't feed the troll", stay calm ... don't jump in each discussion, avoid rush hours/days around launches etc. Many common sense kind of stuff; a good summary in the forum rules.
Of course I'm also guilty in occasional writing crap; sometimes posts just hit my nerve and my fingers going uncontrollable over the keyboard. But happen hopefully not often.
It's also clear that in many cases language is an issue. Lots of non-native speaker like me struggle with English and are not aware of certain ways of writing compared to native speaker. Or level of humor/irony is different. That also contributes to misunderstanding on both side.
As you asked for mature discussion: be mature in discussions and be a role model. Don't pay lots attention to trolls and haters. Its waste of energy. Report them and let the mods take care about it. Once they don't get the response they hope for they will leave. That will help the community overall. There are some really knowledgable wizard here you would miss.
Give us a chance and stay part of the community.
PS: I read quite some heavy discussions where the members got tough to each other but in between invited each other to visit. Beside the differences they also respected each other.

There are far too many posts each day for us to look at, we take care of the ones we see and rely on you the users for the rest.
My suggestion is to report those posts that you feel are trolling and/or violating the forum rules. Also choose your battles wisely and don't respond to those who are trolling. Rather ignore them, report them and move on to responding to users with a constructive attitude.

In general, most people are perfectly willing to give advice and help. It is true that some like to provoke, and, indeed, troll. Try to become one of those who gives advice - or, listens and learns.
PRSI attracts debate, sometimes intensely so, but, so, too, do some of the other sub-forums. As flopticalcube says below, some sub-forums are a lot worse than others - I give many of these a miss.
Again, very good advice.
The advice to pick battles wisely is good advice. However, as ChristianJapan has said, sometimes a post hits a nerve (nasty misogynistic stuff leaves me seething), and it is difficult to avoid responding. If your blood is boiling, try to think about what exactly it is that you want to say, and give thought to how you wish to say it, too. That means addressing the argument (or witless prejudice) not the poster.
Having said all that, I joined (after having been a lurker for a few months) because I had recently 'switched' as the parlance has it, and had bought a MBP in 2008 as a birthday present to myself. I had questions, and this forum seemed a good place to seek and find answers. Then, I stayed, as it was interesting, sometimes good fun, and a good place to meet a wider variety of individuals than many others. Some of the forums & threads are good fun, and it is possible to meet people with shared interests and have some good, knowledgeable and enjoyable discussions in some of them. You can learn a lot, too, and not just about computers and technological stuff, (though that, too, is very interesting).
As a poster, I suppose the advice (needless to say, not always heeded by those, like myself, who may tender it) is to try to be a 'good citizen' online; try to criticise constructively; perhaps, offer remedies and answers to questions which may well have been asked a thousand times (because for everyone, there is always a first time to come across a problem that the world has long thought solved), and report those whom you think may be trolling or offensive.
Seriously, though, the best way to attempt to influence a change in atmosphere is for you to participate in the fora.
Meanwhile, best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

I rarely see people who actually like Apple on here, hence why I don't come here often anymore.
By reading Macrumors you'd think Apple made the crappiest products ever and were the worst company in history.

Macbook Air (2010): 2.13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo - 4GB RAM

a) Think that Apple is doomed and falling apart
b) Are going very slow and uninnovative, despite having some really cool products this year
c) Think that steve jobs would never allow anything that apple is doing to be done
d) Following that, thinking that the world's richest company should center their future from decisions of a dead man
e) Think that apple are wrong and have very bad quality control, and are wrong when they try to enforce good quality control
f) Think that apple are too arrogant, but they are still wrong when they apologise
g) Think that Apple make billions of dollars from rabid and blind followers, despite the fact that they enjoy the products
h) Think that apple are wrong in removing CD drives from their latest computers, despite being the company that is a heavy advocate in ditching legacy products
i) Forget a simple business term that a product with a high price tag is only overpriced if it doesn't sell well. Apple sell a span of macs, iphones, ipads, and ipods. You'll think that they are super lucky in everything
j) Think that Apple get their fans from marketing. Not knowing that marketing also involves price, product quality, and the place it's sold. But you'll only acknowledge the adverts, but still think the products are overpriced, and you'll just make a fool of yourself with contradicting statements.

Vote with your mouse (or other input device...). If you don't like a thread, find a new one. There is tremendous knowledge about all things Apple. Having owned a number of old macs (vast number dang it Apple, you should be comping me some computers as a usage bonus...) I drop into the old forums and I always learn something new. Now, if I want to argue politics, I'll find people who are just as wrong headed in their own way as I am. Everyone who signs up has an interest of some sort in the grand cult of Mac.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that MacRumors is like that dysfunctional family reunion. You know you're gonna go. You know you'll enjoy it. You know Uncle Fred will piss you off and Aunt Sally's gonna pinch your cheeks. Deal with it. They're family.

It is possible to critique apple yet still enjoy their products. There are many here who have such a blind loyalty to apple, it is borderline annoying. I much prefer hearing from not these individuals, but those who utilize apple not out of this "blind loyalty", but rather as a preference that fits their current needs and have no qualms looking at other players in the industry.
It is the latter's opinion I care to hear.
Additionally, I have not really encountered those who actually always bash apple on these forums. Rather, I think it is those who think apple is the "end all be all" that gets offended at the notion of looking at other solutions and interpret it as bashing IMO.

The mods are saying we have to report more posts if we expect moderation. I get that. Some of the rest of us are apparently thinking the party is aready too well chaperoned and should loosen up already. I could probably get that if the right thread came along. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, and all that.
So maybe you're right and it is more or less like a big family gathering, parts of it out of control and parts of it suffocatingly "managed". I still think this was more fun when there were fewer anti-Apple trolls here. I don't blame the mods for the appearance of trolls, that's not fair. Bottom line there, seems like the mods are right to say that the effective way to call out trolling is to report the post instead of replying to it. It's hard, sometimes. You're home using your iDevice of some sort, having a great time, you check into MacRumors and there's some thread with a hundred posts talking trash about something you bought that works flawlessly. Doesn't feel like family reunion. Feels like you got off the bus at the wrong stop on the way home and would have to pull a knife just to get to the police station.
|Nov 18, 2012, 10:04 AM
1) outgrow the trolls (I know, it can be hard)
2) check what tools/procedures the Spanish Inquisition developed and are not against the forum rules
But sirious: troll are behind every stone; just don't waste your time and argue. You will loose. That's what they want and why they are here. Passive resistance/ ignoring will help.

This forum is well moderated and the trolls are down to a minimum. Yeah, there are a few Apple haters out there but there are certainly a few Apple fanboys to even it out.
At the end of the day, just because someone has an opinion that is different, doesn't mean they're trolling.
|Nov 18, 2012, 12:57 PM
Before it used to be love apple love apple and if u had an issue it was gtfo
Apple is the best go somewhere else!
What insane attitude is that?! Not constructive
The apple blind loyalists were destroying the forum!!!
Now we can be vocal about our dissatisfaction of apple without getting pounced on
To me apple trolls = blind apple loyalists

The Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMC wide-angle, with its f1.4 aperture, is made up of 12 elements in 10 groups. Its manual auto focus uses a floating focus mechanism for a better image quality on the whole range of focus distance.
And this design seems to be very efficient in term of image quality.
Let's compare it with its Nikon competitor, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G, to know how good this lens is.
As we can see in this DxOMark lens comparison on a Nikon D3x:
So, the Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMC is an excellent lens, that comes out of this tests with similar scores as its premium Nikon competitor. But, at a price point 3 times lower than the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G, $1797 vs $599, the Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMCis definitely a very good choice if you can live without an auto-focus.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Wayne Juvederm reviews
81% of Wayne reviewers said Juvederm was worth it
"A Little Botox and Rejuverderm -..."
I felt that the laugh lines around my mouth were too pronounced and the line between my brows needed fixing. I saw an immediate difference with my laugh lines and the line between my brow seemed less noticeable, it did not disappear completely though. Dr Kaufman has an excellent bedside manner and I found the procedure to be quite painless. I will recommend him to anyone and his staff are also... more
"Juvederm...don't Be Afraid! Berkeley..."
I have gotten Botox for several years and finally had my first round of Juvederm. I'd been hesitant due to fear over swelling, etc. I received the fillers around the mouth area and am thrilled with the results. I did have some swelling and because I'm fair-skinned, some bruising. If you're fair like me schedule it when you know you'll have some down-time from work. more
"Juvederm Filler for my Face -..."
Dr. Hui did Juvederm Filler and Botox in my face back in January of 2014. I've gotten Botox plenty of times before but had never tried the Juvederm. Honestly, after she was done, I don't think I've ever looked as attractive! She somehow managed to make my lips just a little bit bigger (the perfect size) and lift my eyebrows a little higher on my face. I almost felt like I had gone for a... more
"68 Years Old with Many Years in the..."
This was my 2nd Juvederm treatment to minimize marionette lines around my mouth area and lift the general area. I am very please with the noticable results and have seen wrinkles and folds reduce or disappear. The procedure is viturally painless and takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Love the results! more
So I always wanted to do something with my lips. They were my smallest and worst feature. A few weeks ago I finally took the step and went to see a well known doctor in the city. He was amazing, we clicked right away and thats when I was certain that I wanted him to do my lips. We decided on 1 syringe of Juvederm. My top lip is very thin so the doctor decided he would put about 0.4 mL of it in... more
"He Ruined my Face - Hoboken, NJ"
I moved across country & had 1/2 syringe of filler put in my nasalabiol folds & lips in my home state. Came to NJ & needed to refill... The doc insisted I needed a whole syringe in just my nasalabiol's alone so I trusted him when u shouldn't have. It was way too much & he just kept saying it would go down or that it looked fine & he didn't see what I meant :( more
"Juvederm and Botox Completely Worth..."
Today I had Botox and juvederm injected. Dr day placed the juvederm under my eyes to replace lost volume and diminish my tired appearance. While there is some minimal bruising (normal for under eye injections) dr day was gentle and knowledgeable for proper placement of the filler. This is my first time having Botox injected with dr day. I had Botox from another dr two years ago and was not... more
"Best Lips in NYC - New York, NY"
I did Juvederm in my lips with Dr. Turk and they are amazing!! I originally wanted huge Angelina Jolie lips, but he explained to me how less is more and was so nice about everything!They are so natural, yet full and sexy just like I asked for! I didnt realize how much of a difference it made in my look until i did it, and I am SOOO happy i did =) more
"Great Doctor - Excellent Results -..."
Dr. Slupchynskyj is an excellent doctor with great insight. I went to see the him thinking that I might need a mini facelift and he suggested to start with a filler, Juvederm. He did three sites, under the eyes, around the nose and laughlines. All I can say is "WOW" he made the right call. It was quick, no downtime, and I got the results I wanted. My face looks refresh and I am extremely happy... more
As a repeat patient who keeps maintenence with facial fillers, I was delighted to try a new area of the face-cheaks! The result gave me the appearance of added volume, which I had begun to loose. I could not be happier with the results!! NO pain or bruising, just the appearance of younger face! Thank you! more
"An Excellent Juvederm Procedure -..."
Hollows and shadows under my eyes added extra years to my youthful appearence. I wondered if there was a way to smooth and fill the undereye area without surgery. The results were phenomenal. Although I am in my 50's this procedure took 10 years away as my undereye are is completely smooth. Another benefit was the shadows also went away as the filler seems to stretch out the area. I no longer... more
"Lumps & Uneven Lips Botox-Juvederm -..."
I have a small upper lip that is turning down. My renowned dermatologist not MediSpa said I should do Botox around the top outer edge then Juvederm underneath (meat of the lip). I would end up w/ beautiful full lips ( botox to give a little upturn & Juv for fullness). Instead, my lip bruised on the R side on & above. The L side developed a large lump underneath my lip. I finally took a... more
"Juvederm Lips and Sclerederma -..."
For anyone with sclerederma and the disease is not active juvederm lips was the best thing I ever did. It was simple and I love the results with no side effects whatsoever. I needed almost 2 syringes to get the results I wanted. For me it only lasts about 5 months and can get very expensive . I wish the insurance company would cover it. more
"I Am Absolutely Happy with the..."
I had the juvederm filler done for my nasolabial fold at Dr. S office. No pain, no down time, no bruises... the results were noticeable immediately. Great staff, great service, great experience. more
"Excellent Results. Wrinkle..."
I trust Dr. Slupchynsky to treat my 50-year-old face with Botox and Juvederm to correct wrinkles and defy my age. My wrinkles are quite reduced and I've been told I look 10 years younger. The best compliment was when the man I'm dating told me I look younger than his ex-wife. Dr. S is very thorough and his treatments are really great. more
"Juvederm and Necrosis - Livingston, NJ"
Had Juverderm applied on my labionasal folds once on november of 2011. My experience at the time was satisfactory. I had some bruising and swolleness for at least 1 1/2 weeks but the results were good. The effects of the results lasted until May of 2012. I decided to go back and get a second round of the procedure. I had the procedure applied and this time it seem more painful and i felt the... more

I had juvederm injected in the upper left lip/vermillion ONLY to even out with the other right upper lip/vermillion. I had three injections a few months apart. After the first two injections a slight ball formed above the lip line. Eventually the ball smoothed down to a slight mound above the lip line. Initially I just thought the small sphere-like ball was just swelling. And/or I thought it... more
"Juvederm in my Tear Troughs,..."
I had Juvederm injected into my tear troughs, nasolabial folds, and the corners of my mouth last Monday.It's exactly a week later and although my tear troughs look great (despite a little bruising), something awful seems to be going on with my lower face. It feels like the Juvederm has moved from my nasolabial folds to my the sides of my upper lip! It feels like there's two pockets of Juvederm... more

TechCrunch is reporting that AngelList is raising a "big round of financing at a valuation that multiple sources say will top $150M." As a first round of outside financing, it's a whopper.
I couldn't be more excited for the team and for AngelList. It's been a great service, one which has inserted itself into the necessary workflow of any early stage company executive or investor, making it one of the great interest-based networks out there. I look at AngelList a bit like a look at Quora–a key new social property that is immensely useful in my everyday life. Kudos and congratulations.
I am fascinated by what the opportunity this round holds and by the potential of what AngelList seeks to become. It is riding several important waves, which the TechCrunch article points out–notably the recently passed JOBS act. Always a good thing.
If you're a startup, you'll want to be working on your AL profile. AngelList will gain an increasing importance for startups, if it hasn't already. It's like keeping your LinkedIn profile up to date–make sure you're keeping your AngelList profile up to date.
If you're a professional investor, you'll want to be working on your AL profile. Basically the same type of thing. If you're not there or you don't 'get' ANgelList, then spend the time to figure it out.
About the only word of caution I'd have is this. If you're a startup, then getting on AngelList <> getting investment. There's a lot that goes in to building a company and attracting investors. AngelList postings aren't going to do it on your own. If you're an investor, same type of message. Early stage investing is risky business. The JOBS act and other efforts are lowering the barriers to anyone investing in these early stage ventures. The adage of fools and their money holds true here.

The Northside boys' basketball team and the Lejeune girls will have the luxury of playing at home as long as they win as they chase their goal of earning a trip to the regionals in
Both teams earned No. 1 seeds in the Mideast sectionals of the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs.
The playoff pairings were announced Saturday with the Monarchs and Devilpups two of 12 area teams — six boys and six girls — to make the field.
All first-round games are Monday.
The Lejeune girls (22-0) drew the top sectional seed after the Devilpups won the Coastal Plains Conference regular-season title and beat Pamlico 64-53 in the league tournament final Friday.
Lejeune will play host to No. 16 Wallace-Rose Hill (7-15) on Monday.
"Even up 'til (Friday night), it hadn't been decided," Lejeune coach Kevin Popadines said of the top seed. "It's been something we have been shooting for all year long. We know the more we play at home, the better off we are."
Meanwhile, the Northside boys (22-3) drew the top seed after the Monarchs shared the East Central 2-A Conference regular-season crown with
The Monarchs will play host to No. 16 SouthWest Edgecombe (13-10).
"I feel like we've earned it," Northside coach Tony Marshburn said. "We had to win against a very good
Still, Marshburn stressed that the top seed doesn't guarantee victory.
"It doesn't make your schedule easier," he said. "Only one team in our (16-team sectional) bracket is with a losing record. That's a pretty strong bracket."
And as if things couldn't get any more difficult, if the Monarchs beat
"We are still trying to find things out (about
Popadines is in the same boat as Marshburn — as well as other coaches — in that they don't know too much about their team's first-round foe. However, Popadines did say he planned to call different coaches to find more information about the Bulldogs.
"They are supposed to be a strong, scrappy team and they are going to play a different physical game we are used to," Popadines said. "They play in a real tough conference. So they have been tested all year long."
Conversely, the Devilpups have hardly been challenged this season. Lejeune's average margin of victory is about 30 points.
"We had high hopes for the team," Popadines said. "I knew the team would be real good, but if you would have asked me that we would be 22-0, I don't know that I could have guaranteed that."
While the Lejeune girls and Northside boys are the area's only top seeds, other local squads are also hoping to make deep playoff runs.
The Northside girls (22-4) are seeded second in the Mideast sectional and will play host to No. 15 Edenton Holmes (13-9). The Monarchs won the
"I was expecting a top-three seed, but obviously we were hoping for a one seed," Northside coach Chad Novelli said. "But I certainly can't complain about a two seed."
Novelli, who is in his first year, has said multiple times he has enjoyed the experience of coaching at Northside and helping the Monarchs continue their winning ways.
Northside was regional-bound in 2009 and advanced to the sectional finals in 2010 and 2011 before losing in the second round last year. Novelli also wants his team to also enjoy being in the playoffs.
"The one thing we have really been talking about is the whole process itself and the difference in magnitude of the conference tournament and the state tournament," Novelli said. "I brought in the brackets last year and explained to them how it worked and they saw why they played at Bunn last year (in the second round). We put ourselves in a situation (this year) to get a home game, and if we get past Holmes, we should have another home game."
Other 2-A first-round girls' game involving local teams are: No. 6 East Duplin (21-6) at home against No. 11 Graham (16-10) and No. 14 Croatan (6-17) at No. 3 Whiteville (19-6).
In 1-A, No. 15 Southwest (8-16) plays at No. 2 Lakewood in 1-A, while in 3-A, No. 15 White Oak (15-10) visits No. 2 Eastern Wayne (25-1).
In 1-A boys, No. 5 Southwest (17-5) plays host to No. 12 Red Springs (6-16) while No. 15 Dixon visits No. 2 Goldsboro (17-6).
In 2-A, No. 14 East Duplin (8-17) visits No. 3 Fairmont (21-5). In 3-A, No. 16 Jacksonville (10-15) visits No. 1 Rocky Mount (22-2).

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the Internet! I hope you found a great deal. To tell you a little bit about myself I'll start with my family! I have two babies, one is super furry and the other one likes to empty the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Despite the diapers and chewed shoes they bring a lot of joy in my life, especially the blue eyed-blond one. I've been married for almost five years to my best friend. We met in college and graduated a semester apart from each other. We love to go camping, hiking, attend rodeos and spend time with our families! Currently we live in West Texas where my sweetheart goes to school. Our budget is super tight and couponing has been a real lifesaver. I hope to share what I've learned with you!

M2PS: Platinum Series Model Two Stereo - Better than the one
I had purchased a Radio one for my office and liked it very much. I wanted something for my home office and decided to go with the two since it was in stereo. It is compact easy to use and has great stereo separation. I use mostly the FM: it has great sound and works well without an added antenna. I added an iPod and it still sounds great.
It is small and very nice looking but unobtrusive. People sometimes ask if I am getting such sound from such as small box.

Bertrand-Edgeworth Auction with Multiple Asymmetric Bidders
Shanshan Hu, Roman Kapuscinski, William Lovejoy
We define Bertrand-Edgeworth (B-E) auctions as a modification of Bertrand-Edgeworth games where demand is inelastic and a price cap is set exogenously. B-E auctions are motivated by the discriminatory procurement auctions used in some wholesale electricity markets. We characterize the equilibrium structure for B-E auctions with multiple asymmetric suppliers (bidders). A pure-strategy equilibrium will not exist except in special cases, but when it does, it features active suppliers bidding uniformly at the competitive price. In most cases a mixed-strategy equilibrium prevails, for which there always exits an anchoring supplier whose random pricing interval covers other suppliers' mixed bidding ranges. We show that the interval can be uniquely determined, where the upper bound maximizes the anchoring supplier's expected payoff as a residual claimant (the highest bidder being admitted), and the lower bound provides her the same expected payoff as a base supplier (the lowest bidder). For the subset of the games where all active bidders reach the lower bound, closed-form equilibrium solutions can be uniquely derived. For the general case, based on a numerical algorithm that we propose, we numerically illustrate that in an oligopoly a weak (low-capacity) bidder does not necessarily price more aggressively (stochastically lower), as is the case for a duopoly (Kreps and Scheinkman (1983)). Instead, the weak supplier's distribution is more concentrated, that is it spans a smaller interval. We show that most of the derived properties also hold when demand is price-sensitive. The model generalizes some results for multiple known versions of B-E models.
