For a while, at least, WoW tried to claim the anti-class system. Every class had an anti-class but in one very famous example, Blizzard made a small nerf to warriors that turned Warrior >= Mage to Mage >>> Warrior. Frost mages are, arguabilly for the lack of skill needed to do it dcently, the best kiters in that game. Mage is Blizzard's PVP baby though.
(I can't help that that sounds like QQ, but it isn't. the only PVP I did was on a priest so mages weren't my concern, it was those damn plate dps).
I do realize that PVE is easier than PVP (scripted encounters), but I'd truly appreciate a game another PVE-focused game. Glaring OP-ness should always be fixed but I think a game that let PVE abilities be PVE abilitied would be very welcome. Sooo welcome. Maybe we might see some great new encounters and abilities if it didn't matter how well another class could counter the abilities used to counter a boss.
WoW loves to nerf tanks for pvp balance when tanks, largely, don't PVP. Now my abilitie to take hits for 75% of my health is nerfed because I would never take my tank into an arena? Yeah.. no thanks.
Spec'ing properly is a gateway drug.

The idea of class balance owes its prickliness (yay imaginary vocabulary/spelling) to the baby-daddy of all RPGs, table-top war gaming. When Gygax and Co. started out, their onus was on the effect that any class would have on a game that lives and breathes utter balance ad nauseum. For me, RPGs do not have to reflect balance as a mirror-effect... i.e. every class does not and should not need to be utterly equal to the others. Can anyone argue that Gandalf's class was balanced? That Emperor Palpatine's was balanced? Was Drizzt *apologies*, Fafhrd, Beowulf, Cu Chulainn, Hercules, The Dad from Good Times, Mike Tyson, Meatloaf or the Cylons balanced?
The answer to all of the above (particularly the Dad from Good Times), is no.
Don't balance abilities, balance play-time, effort and input. I have no problems with a mage-type destroying a warrior-type, or vice versa. Make it fit your game mechanics/lore/feel, and stick with it. General happiness ensues (although we are talking MMOs, so low-intensity forum grumbling, which is the closest thing to happiness, ensues).
If you don't want everyone playing the over-powered class (be it PvP overpowering or PvE, it doesn't matter), the dev's need to get off their lazy dev-butts and think about it for a change. T-h-o-u-g-h-t has most of the same letters in it as doughnut, so it shouldn't be a stretch for most of them. One of the main reasons for class balance/imbalance hate is the lack of forethought, playtesting and early-stage tweaking.
WoW had the annoying habit of nerfing the OP class of the week, making it the crappy class for that next month. Then, they'd reverse it, forgetting to reset all of the other classes that got buffed in response to the original class's supposed OP-ness. Wash, rinse, repeat. Most games do, as I feel no particular desire to pick on or single out WoW in this.
On a final note, a very large number (I am going to be a percentard and say 65.381%) of class balance issues that make it to forums boil down to the personal preference, minority-complaints and 'grass-is-greener' mentality of their players.

If you take TF2 as an example then some classes have "more issues" with other classes and find again others a little easier. So a 1v1 is a case by case with mild bias depending on what context the face off occurs?
Taking the OP eg Mage vs Warrior
If the warrior is close to the mage the mage should switch to defense or blocking the warrior and running to a more advantageous situation eg team-mates. Conversely if the mage is up on a high ledge and raining fire down on the warrior they should get their shield/defense up and run for cover or close the distance. Basically they should have options that correspond to finding a solution to the problem they face and that's a different problem depending on different conditions/situations. If you play a weaker armor ranger you know you have to get some cheap hits on the warrior first to take them down otherwise use the "run-away" skill !

That's definitely the ideal way for class balance to be implemented, where each class has options for adapting to the others.
Which is important because the distinction between TF2 and MMORPG classes is that TF2 classes can be changed every death (turning class choice into a mid-match skillful decision to be made) whereas MMORPG classes are set in stone at character creation.

It's this kinda of mentality by the above poster that has ruined pvp games just because u pick a class and pay for a game doesnt mean the developer has to make your class beat everything because u decide u dont want to group up which defeats the purpose of u playing a mmorpg.
No not every class should be able to kill every class that is so stupid and the reason i quit wow after bc came out. Dark age of camelot had balance perferct until the solo/casual players starting comin and don't know what teamwork is. A mage should be able to kill a heavy armored person without them being able to catch them that is the the point because your heavy armor is for taking the arrows and the melee and your rogues are for killing the mages and your rangers are for killing rogues and healers. Pvp should be paper rock scissors and never paper can kill rock and all the others because your to lazy to make a friend or be social which is the whole point of an mmo. Most of the people that complain about imbalance are the peole that solo and the mmorpg means massive not smorpg.

Balance can only take you so far. When it stops making sense within the context of your created world you've made a fatal error. I fail to see why tried and tested mechanics in a PvE environment should automatically be thrown out the window whenever you step into a PvP battleground. In a class-based system it is inevitable that certain classes will perform better against others, why try and stop it? All you achieve in accomplishing is annoying the community as a whole, setting yourself upon the greasy pole of continuous balance patches, and simultaneously removing any chance of people working together in team-based games.
What you should really be focusing on is rewarding people for performing their role in a PvP encounter. I don't think I have yet seen a game that properly accounts for the actions of dedicated healers in PvP. Instead they charge around blindly, trying in vain to find an easy target they can outlive in an often mindnumbing battle of attrition. Tanks rarely find themselves in a position to make the most of their abilities as taunts and the like have zero effect on players. Only DPS remain able to shine as doing damage is apparently the only thing that matters.
Return to your tried, tested, and hopefully well balanced PvE mechanics and apply them to PvP. Operating as a group becomes tantamount to success and rids you of the annoying sods soloing in a corner somewhere or ganking weaker players relentlessly. Reward tanks for taking damage and healers for healing it. Your only issue with balance should be ensuring that people are rewarded properly for their contribution to the battle as a whole not how well they can solo.
If you really wanted to balance PvP in the way most companies try you'd simply create a single default class that everyone is forced to play whenever they step into the ring.

And of all of the characters I cited (with the exception of the Dad from Good Times, damn damn damn) were defeated by their OWN CLASS.
Oh; and I completely agree with Treelo when he said that in a class-based system it is inevitable that certain classes will perform better against others, so why try and stop it? Encourage it and you might actually find more willingness to partake in ORGANIZED PvP.

If government said "There's going to be crime, so why try and stop it" would be we better off, or worse? ...the same is true of game balance. Without it, player decisions become totally irrelevant, variety ceases to exist, and games become boring/terrible.

In a word... no... Rock, paper, scissors is a perfectly acceptable game mechanic in PvP. It levels the playing field to some degree, and that makes PvP more fun... even "dominant" players need to constantly be looking over their shoulder with a hint of worry... :)

That's going a long way there, cowboy. My point is that there's not much use behind class differences at all in PVP if every class has all of the exact same strengths and weaknesses as every other class. Give me paper rock, scissors over that anyday, please. I don't care if warriors beat mages in one-on-ones most of the time or if its the other way around. Learn to accept that things don't have to be 'fair' by your definition in order to be interesting or challenging.
Mirror-image equality destroys fun. Let classes overlap a little, sure - but don't make them clones. That's all I am attempting to explain here. One last thing axe, my point is not wrong. No one's points on these forums are wrong. They are 'opinions'. http://dictionary.reference.com

Just take a second to catch up on current definitions before you continue posting in a thread about game balance. The article should seem pretty obvious to anyone who's put any amount of thought into how balance relates to games.
At the very least, use your own advice and look up http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/balance
Balance does not make two things identical. Stand on a scale balanced against some stone weights. Are you a stone weight? Of course not. But you're balanced. This is exactly how game balance works: it's a measure of one specific variable (power), not an indication that two classes are identical.

Now i will say that AOE stun + PBAOE was vastly overpowered. (stunning 20 people who for 8 seconds, cant do anything, not even remove it), but the CC was a bit out of control in that game anyway.

Depends on what type of PvPv we speak. If it's competetive, e sport type PvP then yes, every class/character choice should be viable, it can be weaker or stronger against certain types, but overall, a skilled person should be able to do their magick, here it should be strategy, reaction time and tactic that play a role, not class.
Now for casual pvp that should be core of most MMORPGs i think it would be better if it was more of "Everything can beat at least something, preferably equal number of things", since you want to mainly balance around group combat and that way no class/character would be obsolate and none would be I-WIN.

Gaming should be about fun, not gender equality.
Player skills should be the deciding factor in PvP, not gear, class, level etc.

First, I'm no fan of PvP in MMORPG. I think it's basically like other PvP games, except that it requires you to level up a char and grind gear for days or weeks, and then the one who spent most time grinding or most money at the cash shop wins.
That beeing said: I think that you have to differ between MMORPGs that are unbalanced in so far that one or two classes or combos dominate the entire PvP game. Like, that a player completly new to the game can play one class and easily take apart far more skilled players of another class. Regularily, maybe several of them at once. If that's the case: yep, the it's unbalanced. But most often this ain't the case. People just assume it is. They get killed by someone, and assume they made no mistake while their opponent did, and that they should win and the game is all unbalanced etcetcetc.
Most of the time, it's just the normal tiny unbalancing. I mean, PvP games can't ever be 100% balanced. Starting with the fact that the person with a sucky computer has less of a chance than the one with a good computer. Now add internet connection, age, reactions, the amount of distraction while playing (ie by a nearby barking dog) and whatever. And the game itself can't be balanced either. There are too many variables and combos having an effect on each other, that it's impossible to keep everything in check. Add to that that healthy MMORPGs receive patches regularily which keep shifting the balance back and forth, and you got to admit that balance doesn't exist. Sometimes a patch makes your class stronger, sometimes a patch makes your class weaker. To become truly good: learn to perform well no matter what.
The right attitude to play MMORPG PvP is, in my opinion: I play my class, I do my best, I constantly learn about my own class and others. And if I play it well, then no matter the balancing, I will perform well too.
Most players seem to have the attitude: I'm the most awesome player, and if anyone kills me for any reason, then that person is a cheater and the game is unbalanced.

It depends. I don't expect all games to allow each roll to be able to beat every other role. Having a decent sized disadvantage can really make an emphasis and appretiation for more support oriented gameplay.
In mmorpg's, if you are playing in an open world and are forced into 1v1, it's not that fun to know that no matter what you do, you WILL not beat the other player.
Even if you are at a disadvantage, it would be great for a player who really knows the class to be able to perhaps use world conditions in order to gain an advantage. This is why I love realistic terrain benefits, such as some players doing better in narrow spaces like ship passages, or steep slopes.
Others others will enjoy the freedoms of being able to take use of quick exits such as in mazes of sorts. Another play may benefit from being in a very open environment.
To me, the problem is everyone has a "role". When PvP enters the picture, those roles become blatantly obvious. A support role character should never stand toe to toe with a dps role. What should be happening is that the healer cannot die due to their healing ability and the tank should take damage forever. Eventually, the dps falls over from exhaustion. PvP takes away these roles and tries to make all equal. That's when the crying starts.
I am a PvE'er and have to say that PvP has killed more mmo's for me than any other factor. PvP is the reason "nerfs" exist as games try to "balance out" the classes/roles. It has always been my opinion that PvE and PvP should NEVER mix, as they are 2 very different games. They each spoil the other and cannot co-exist in the same game with any happiness amongst either environment.
City of Heroes is my favorite example of PvP ruining a game. It started out with no PvP. It worked. Well. As soon as PvP was introduced, balancing issues between roles became evident (duh!) and the nerffbat was unleashed. I left.
Check out how often the flavor of the month class changes as nerfs hit the game with each patch. Why do you think this happens?
To be clear, I do not dislike PvP. It is another way of playing online games. It is just that the two (PvE/PvP) have tried to co-exist for over a decade and there is still no solution.
Can anyone name one game that has both great PvE AND PvP? I would like to try it since there is no mutually exclusive games out there. I'm not talking "passable" games. I am talking good games. I have heard game X is great for PvP or game K is awesome for PvE, but I have not heard of a game that incorporates both in an enjoyable combination.

I love pinball machines. I can play pinball for hours and hours. I was very happy when this game came out on the 360 and I could finally play pinball on my 65 inch TV ;) It's very hard to find a real table in good working condition.

ROBIN BASS/The Spencer Magnet
During a recent visit to Taylorsville, U.S. Congressman Brett Guthrie received a drawing made by Spencer County fourth grader Jaden Cannon. The drawing showed the congressman and Jaden holding hands with the words, "Thank you." Jaden and her mom, Debbie Cannon, were grateful for the efforts Guthrie has provided to the fight against juvenile diabetes and new research technologies. Guthrie also used his time in Taylorsville to talk to local leaders about the issues Congress will be facing in the coming months.
Taylorsville (TES) and Spencer County Elementary schools (SCES) were awarded the 2010 Waste Tire Market Development Crumb Rubber Grant under the guidance of District Grant Writer Ashley Johnson.
The grant, totaling approximately $20,000 replaces existing wood chip mulch in the elementary playgrounds with recycled crumb rubber. The new mulch is resistant to deterioration and compaction. The recycled crumb rubber will provide a more safe and consistent landing surface for students playing on the equipment.
The Spencer County Strikers, a U12 boy's team with the Spencer County Soccer Association, were crowned JCYSL tournament champs.
The Strikers lost in the championship round of the JCYSL tournament last season 1-0. This time they didn't overlook any of their opponents or the muddy conditions.
The Strikers outscored their opponents 20-3 while defeating teams from South Nelson, Okolona, and Fern Creek.
The Spencer County Elementary Level Track Team participated in the Westside Track Meet May 12 with some outstanding results.
Students from both Spencer County Elementary and Taylorsville Elementary participate on the team.
Highlights from the meet:
100 Meter Run:
Boys - Kadin Smith 1st Place and Drake Snider 4th Place
Girls - McKenzie Bell 2nd Place, Abby Myers 3rd Place, and Lindsey Miller 4th Place
200 Meter Run:
Boys - Kadin Smith 2nd Place
What does it cost these days to preserve a landmark?
If the historical structure is Taylorsville's Blue Bridge, then the price tag to save it could be close to $1.9 million, according to David Steele, of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Maintenance.
The cost to demolish the 78-year-old truss bridge, however, was estimated at only $150,000.
"That Blue Bridge has always been a landmark to the community." said Taylorsville Mayor Don Pay. "If we tear it down, it will be nothing but a memory. Just pictures in a photo album."
The Spencer County Middle School Grizzly Football team won the 2010 Allen Middle School Passing Tournament near Prestonsburg this weekend. The team was undefeated in all 5 games and won in the championship versus Pike Central Middle School.
The team decided to dedicate the tournament championship to TSgt. Jason Bass who was deployed to Iraq the night before the tournament.
The Loyal Homemakers group, which meets on the second Thursday of each month, is a source of friendship and education for its members. Edith Judd, a Loyal Homemakers member for over ten years, says that people assume the clubs are for homebodies.
"People think if you're a homemaker, then you're home cleaning house," she said. "People think you don't do anything."
What basketball off season?
This week: Reasons why, best-of-blue chips should play college hoops in the Commonwealth. If they can cut it of course.
In Lexington 24,111 reasons. Average attendance at UK games in Rupp Arena last season. Best in America. More than a thousand over capacity, more than any NBA franchise.
In Louisville 19,397. Fan average at UofL games, well beyond Freedom Hall capacity. Third best in the nation, after Syracuse.
The second annual Taylorsville Summer Run by the Lake will be held May 22 at Taylorsville Lake State Park. Registration will be held the day of the run from 6:30 a.m. until 7:45 a.m. The race will begin at 8 a.m.
Entry fee for the 5K trail run is $20/person and $10/person for a one-mile fun run. Participants will receive a free shirt while supplies last.
The Spencer County Bears bunted their way to an early lead Saturday against visiting Walton-Verona, and held off the visitors for a 13-3 victory.
Trailing 2-0 in the bottom half of the first inning, Spencer County was able to load the bases and then played some small ball to get runners across the plate. With the bases full, sophomore catcher Todd Clemens laid down a bunt toward the pitcher, who fielded the ball and threw to first. The ball was mishandled, allowing two runs to score and the Bears quickly had tied the game.

It's a big job, but a stunned Sarah agrees to go for it. She's up against high-profile photographers like Hank for this job.

Adam's confused when Micah ignores Max at school. Micah is still Max's best friend, right? Max says they aren't friends anymore, but refuses to elaborate. Kristina wants to call Micah's parents, but Adam is determined to solve the issue directly with Max. After much probing, Max tells Adam that Micah's obsessed with basketball, which is stupid since he's in a wheelchair and can't play. Wheelchair basketball isn't basketball. Maybe that's what offended Micah... Per Adam's suggestion, Max apologizes to Micah and invites him to a Golden State Warriors game complete with hot dogs and nachos. Too busy with his new friends, Micah says no. Adam's heart breaks; Max has lost his only friend. Kristina and Adam rally, revving Max up for an awesome basketball game with his parents.
Why is Oliver Rome in Crosby's driveway? Oliver has had a falling out with the band, so he's moved out and refused to finish the album until they apologize. Despite Jasmine's vehement disapproval, Crosby allows Oliver to crash for a few days. Jabbar gets a less-than-healthy dose of Oliver's "coolness": he's shown Jaws, stays up way too late, learns how to roll cigarettes and eats potato chips for breakfast. After several days, Crosby lays down the law - Oliver is contractually obligated to finish the album. Get to the studio or get kicked out of his house. After seventeen missed calls, Jasmine tries reasoning with Oliver. When she was a professional dancer, she was afraid she wouldn't make it but knew she had to try. Oliver opens up and confesses he's afraid of mediocrity. Inspired by Jasmine's words, Oliver writes a sweet song called "Jasmine All the Time" and performs it for the Braverman clan.

Zeek's surprised to learn that Amber refuses to talk to Ryan at all... so he visits Amber's apartment for the first time. If she doesn't say goodbye to Ryan, she'll regret it forever, he warns.

Compelling evidence that the most important assumptions on which Darwinism rests are wrong.
The controversial best-seller that sent Oxford University and Nature magazine into a frenzy has at last come to the United States. Shattering the Myths of Darwinism exposes the gaping holes in an ideology that has reigned unchallenged over the scientific world for a century. Darwinism is considered to be hard fact, the only acceptable explanation for the formation of life on Earth, but with keen insight and objectivity Richard Milton reveals that the theory totters atop a shambles of outdated and circumstantial evidence which in any less controversial field would have been questioned long ago. Sticking to the facts at hand and tackling a vast array of topics, Shattering the Myths of Darwinism offers compelling evidence that the theory of evolution has become an act of faith rather than a functioning science, and that not until the scientific method is applied to it and the right questions are asked will we ever get the true answers to the mystery of life on Earth.

In this course, author Adam Wilbert illustrates how to create and leverage real-world queries and turn raw data into usable information. The course covers setting up queries, performing calculations, using the built-in Access functions to further refine query results, and identifying top performers or areas for improvement based on a range of criteria.
All of the queries that we've been working with throughout this course have been examples of select queries, basically queries that select and manipulate data from our tables and present the results in a new but temporary table format. But Access also has a couple of other query types that we can work with. The first type is called Crosstab query. Like the Select queries, the Crosstab query pulls information from our tables and reorganizes it. But unlike a Select query, the Crosstab query is presented more like a standard spreadsheet with column headers and row headers.
Right now, I've got opened on the screen qry_ AverageWageCrosstab from my Chapter 8 section. We've got three columns here on the left. I've got states, the number of employees in each state, and the average hourly rate of pay for the employees in each state. After that, I've got some column headings here for each department and we can see the average rate of pay within each department for those states. And we scroll across here and we can see that for the sales department in Alaska the average hourly rate is $16.21.
Let's switch into Design view to see how this is built. I'll go to the Home ribbon and click on Design view. You can see the Crosstab query has a new row here and we've selected which are the row headings, for instance the State, the # of Employees, and the Average Hourly Rate are row headings. You also have a column heading for departments across the top and the values in the center are the average of the hourly pay for each employee. So that's how this Crosstab was created. Let's take a look at another example.
I'll go ahead and open up my qry_Crosstab query. Currently, this query is presented as a simple Select query with columns. We've got a CountOfProducts here and then the Size and Oil Name for those products. This table is giving us the popularity of each of our products or how many times each product has been ordered. In order to facilitate analysis, let's change this to a Crosstab query. I'll go to my Design view and I'll turn on my Crosstab query option. You can see that when we do that, we've got a new row here called Crosstab, and some blank fields.
If we click in each field, we'll see that it's a drop-down and we can choose a Row Heading, Column Heading, or Value for each of our fields. For the ProductID, we'll choose Value. The count of the products is what's going to appear in the center of the crosstab. We'll have the size running along the top, as our column header. The oil name will run down the left side as our row header. Let's go ahead and take a look and see how this runs now. We'll run the query and we'll see that the data is presented in a completely different way. We've got the oil names on the left, the sizes across the top, and the count of the number of times each product has been ordered fills the middle.
So depending on the types of information that you're collecting, the Crosstab query could be a great way to visualize large amounts of aggregated data and provide further insight into your database.

Re: Office 2007 beta is out
The new interface will take awhile. I had Office 2k at home (though used Office 2k3 at school). The differences between those 2 versions were minimal compared to this. Also wasn't expected that the document extention would change to .docx now... Should make things really interesting if one ends up needing to view a file over a floppy on a DOS box, but then again with things in XP and headed toward Vista DOS is hardly in consideration...
Outlook I might take a look at with my Gmail account, but am not certain yet about transfering my main mail accounts over however. Just in case things go belly up. Well you know, any pre-release software it's always a possibility to be aware of... Doesn't mean it will happen however...

Date: November 5, 1903 in the Province of Colón
In the year 1903, Panama had achieved complete independence from Colombia, but in reality this was not true; Colón remained embattled by the Shooters battalion of the Colombian troops.
Date: November 10, 1821
The first call for independence was made in the province of Los Santos, and not in Panama City, because those living in what the Spanish Crown had called the "Loyal and Very Noble Panama City" still supported the Spaniards' presence in hopes of being awarded certain trading privileges. Upon realizing that their promises of sinecures would not come to fruitition, however, the city joined the independence movement.
The best preserved church in the Old Town of Panama City is La Merced. Stone by stone, its façade was moved to its present site around the year 1680, but the work was suspended for a while to instead provide construction materials for the wall being built around the new town that would protect against another pirate attack. This temple contains the only religious museum in the city.

OIG: Physicians Should be Cautious When Reassigning Their Medicare Payments
Office of Inspector General is encouraging physicians to scrutinize entities before they reassign their right to bill the Medicare program, since the physicians may be liable if false claims are submitted by those entities.
Recently, the OIG reached settlements with eight physicians involved in the submission of false claims to Medicare by physician medicine companies. Those physicians had reassigned their Medicare payments to various physical medicine companies in exchange for positions as medical directors.
While serving in these roles, the physicians did not directly supervise any services, but those companies claimed the physicians performed services and billed for such. The physicians failed to monitor the services billed using their provider numbers.
The OIG is now reminding physicians that they have the right to access entities' billing information concerning services the physician is alleged to have performed and for which the entity is billing Medicare.

Universal Fit
Brainwavz S0 In-Ear Headphones
"Recently I was contacted my Brainwavz to sample one of their brand new products. This review however will be a little different from others and quite a bit shorter as we're only doing some basic design impressions and mostly what counts, the sound to give you guys out there a grasp on S0's signature. To my understanding Brainwavz S0 is a budget orientated in ear headphone that's..." --H20Fidelity
Brainwavz B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones
"Summary of my experience with these: Build: Feels cheap and plasticky. In fact the box appears better made than the earphones. :) Treble: Very detailed, forward and sharp. No real sibilance BUT is very fatiguing after even after short listening sessions Mids: Again very detailed but there appears to be some forward and some recessed elements depending on the track you are listening to. The..." --Krisman
FitEar TO GO! 334
" Package: - 3 Pairs of silicone tips - Cleaning Tool - Cable Clip - Pouch - Box - Pelican1010 - Carabiner manufacturing: it's a handmade tank! Everything in the 334 feels of strength, the acrylic shell is thick and makes my jh13 look fragile. The IEM connectors are almost identical to what you have on a HD650. For me, this is a good choice because it avoids the usual..." --castleofargh
Brainwavz R3 Dual Dynamic Driver Earphones
"Quick Summary: While these earphones have a really "unique" design to them, once you get over this, you will be rewarded with a beautifully balanced sound. I would put them on a similar tier as the very popular, and head-fi favorites Hifiman re400 and the Vsonic GR07. This is very high praise, let's find out below! I want to thank Brainwavz for their patience and for sending a pair of..." --Tom22
Brainwavz M3
" Me: I am a 21 year old Engineering student living in a small town in India. I would like to call myself a music enthusiast, rather than an audiophile. I was inspired by music since childhood, and as the time passed, the passion of music grew in me, and that subsequently led me to join Head-Fi. Eventually, I found the pleasure of listening to music mainly by the HD600 and recently, by the..." --YoYo JoKeR
Brainwavz R1
"I'll start of by saying these are a pair of really respectable headphones and these are my subjective opinion on them. At their price point, I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything better without going higher in pricing They perform well for their price. All in all, a good pair of headphones just for casual everyday listening of music. Audiophiles will not be impressed however...." --cjs001
Brainwavz Beta (V2)
"Very nicely balanced overall. Bass very slightly lacking, but this is a matter of taste. Lots of tips to choose from, and came with foamies! Cheaply put together though. Loads of microphonics. Clip is useless. Thought I heard some imbalance but it went away with burn-in. Questionable quality? After further burn-in, my Betas became very bass..." --inline79
Brainwavz M4 In-Ear Headphones
"refer to my Xiaomi Pistons review for my detailed thoughts about this one, this two are indentical in general. the only difference between them is the frequency balance. M4 comes with some midbass frequencies amplified a little bit which helps the naturality of the bass sounds usually, but of course that is also depends on the songs played. so if you feel distortions or overly strong bass i can..." --vaziyetu
Brainwavz ProAlpha In-Ear Headphones Bass Lovers
" I bought the Visang R02 version. No different sound wise, just sold through them. My Second IEM I bought and the first into the true Head-Fi Market. And I love them. Packaging: Nice suave packaging on show here. A medium sized black and blue box with the IEM's showing through the clear plastic window on the outside. Opening them, the cable sits in their clamshell case with the..." --LucasRobert0897
FitEar TO GO! 111
"Check out my video review as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiFd4lLINAk&feature=youtu.be The f111 is a beautiful IEM. Even with it's "typical" fit, the kind of fit you would normally use with this type of earphone, they sound great. They are warmer and less crisp than the etymotic er4s that is its cousin (they use the same driver). However, with a very..." --luisdent

Resistance (strength) training exercise can improve your overall
physical health and ability to do daily activities. It can also lower or prevent the bone loss associated with menopause.
These exercises use weights or elastic
bands to help improve muscle strength and increase exercise endurance. The
increased muscle mass helps your body use energy more efficiently. Resistance
training is often combined with aerobic exercise, such as walking or running. This helps control weight, improve heart health, and decrease the demands made
on the heart during daily activities, such as carrying groceries.
Resistance training is part of most cardiac rehabilitation
You will get the most benefit from resistance exercises when you do them at least 3 times per week.
