The first Dutch Ironman triathlon was held in Maastricht on 2 August. Approximately a thousand professional and amateur athletes from forty-seven countries took on the ultimate challenge by participating in the world's biggest long-distance sporting event, which includes a 3.8 kilometre swim, a 42.2 kilometre run and a 180 kilometre bicycle ride in and around Maastricht. UM was well-represented in the competition, with three participants in the professional class and two Ironman relay teams.
Maastricht University will officially launch two new Master of Science programmes in September 2015. The Biobased Materials and Systems Biology programmes passed the initial accreditation test of the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) with flying colours.
UM researchers Jessica Hartmann and Conny Quaedflieg received a Rubicon grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), which gives the promising researchers the opportunity to gain international research experience.
UM students received a €27,000 grant from the NWO in the Top Sector Chemistry Student Competition. They plan to use their prize money to develop a prototype for a device that can detect bruxism, or tooth grinding, during the day.
Professor Clemens van Blitterswijk is one of the seven nominees for the 2015 Huibregtsen Prize. He was nominated for his project Osteoinductive Biomaterials: From the Periodic Table of Elements to FDA Approval. Jet Bussemaker – Minister of Education, Culture and Science – will present the winning research leader with the award on 5 October 2015 in the Ridderzaal in The Hague.
In the foyer of the administrative building at the Minderbroedersberg you can visit an extraordinary exhibition about the collaboration between Derya Zenginoğlu, multidisciplinary artist, and Pamela Habibović, professor of Inorganic Biomaterials at Maastricht University. Zenginoğlu is fascinated by biology and Habibović's research group develops biomaterials for regenerative medicine, materials that can regenerate diseased or damaged tissue and organs.

DARIEN, Conn. – Darien officials don't have final numbers on what Hurricane Sandy will ultimately cost the town, but said it is likely to exceed the cost of Hurricane Irene last year. The process for municipalities filing to FEMA will begin Tuesday.
First Selectman Jayme Stevenson said town departments are in the process of compiling their after-storm reports and that a final report will be delivered. Town officials met at the Emergency Operations Center and identified some things that they would like to work on for future emergency events.
"Generally things worked very smoothly this time given the magnitude of the disaster. The opening of the Emergency Operations Center was a tremendous benefit to us all," Stevenson said.
The town needs to form a shelter task force, Stevenson said. This would be a group of dedicated people who would be able to open up an emergency shelter. The town used Darien High School as a shelter during Sandy, and in the future could also use Middlesex Middle School or the Mather Community Center once it opens.
Stevenson said the town will have to look at its fuel storage capacity at the Public Works garage. The fuel supply almost reached a critical low during the storm and refueling became problematic.
Improved software for managing road closures and work completed, she said. Stevenson said the police department has made updates to the software, and will continue to make improvements.
Capital needs for the next storm include upgrades to the generators at critical facilities, such as Darien High School, Town Hall and the Public Works garage. More signage and traffic safety aides will be needed, as well as a satellite connection for Internet and television at the Emergency Operations Center.
"We were actually quite handicapped for a few days with no computer and no access to news at the EOC," she said.
She also said that she wants to gather information on private associations such as their leadership and demographic information so that the town can better serve them during times of disaster.

Reunited and it feels so good
... fun because Dan Boldt, my Rotary Officer in the US was in Lieto, and we did a bike ride together. We rode from Lieto into Turku, seeing lots of things, including Vanhalinna, Tuomiokirkko, Hessburger, ja Turunlinna. When we biked back into the city center, there was a concert going on in the center, and the band was very good! I left soon afterwards back to Lieto, where I had a delicious dinner wiht my host family. We also watched the final of Tangokunningas/ Tango King on tv.

Now I had to navigate myself to the castle which was a straight walk along the river. It looked easy enough on the map but took about 40 mins to walk the distance. Entrance to the castle was 9 Eu ...
A day on the archipelago
... took about a half hour from the centre of town. When we arrived, we were really wondering if we were in the right place, because the bus let us off in the middle of a residential neighbourhood and there didn't seem to be any other tourists around. But okay, we grabbed a map and set out for the harbour, determined to find signs of life on the island.
What we'd not realized -- and probably should have -- was that most kids in Finland went back to school this week, ...
... to go see the duty free area. I realized quickly that's where half of the ship's passengers were! Everyone was buying cartfulls of duty free at almost 11pm. It was a madhouse!! Don't get me wrong...I love a bargain just as much as the next person, but the crowds were insane. I couldn't get out of there fast enough!
I headed back to the cabin, took and shower and hit the sack. We were set to arrive in Stockholm at 6:30am, which meant an early wake up call. I needed my beauty ...

... the best meals of the entire trip thus far. With the hunger tamed, we made our way over to Turku Cathedral for a visit. This is the main church for Finland's Lutheran faith. Since I was baptised Lutheran when I became a godfather to my godson Jett, I figured it was appropriate for at least a quick stop. A few hours of rest were in order before going to a local pub for some pints and to watch the Finland vs. Croatia IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation) match, which Finland ...

As you no doubt have heard by now, Pope Benedict XVI announced he will be resigning from his role as head of the Catholic Church as of February 28, citing health issues. This means that the Cardinal electors will once again choose the next pontiff, leaving the flock to guess which of the five likely candidates will wear the mitre next.
While the world counts down to the next Holy See, we've put together a slideshow of the best (and perhaps most blasphemous) papal representations in art. From Francis Bacon's screaming pope painting to Maurizio Cattelan's meteor-stricken statue, scroll through the works below and let us know which painting, print or sculpture is your favorite in the comments section.
WHAT: Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan presents Pope John Paul II lying on his side clutching a large pastoral staff, felled by an errant meteorite. WHY WE LOVE IT: Did you read the meteorite part of the description? Image: HUGO PHILPOTT/AFP/Getty Images
WHAT: A lovely watercolor by British comedian Robert Popper. Here's his caption: "I dun a painting of the Pope ('Goodbye Pope'): pic.twitter.com/bQm9Z45l." WHY WE LOVE IT: We're just suckers for homemade pope paintings. Image: @robertpopper
WHAT: This controversial Pope John Paul II statue by artist Oliviero Rainaldi stands in Rome. WHY WE LOVE IT: When the statue was first unveiled in front of Rome's main train station in May 2011, it was widely criticized by passers-by as looking more like Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini than the beloved Polish pope. Even the Vatican's own art critic wrote that it looked like a "bomb" had landed. Image: AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia
WHAT: Martinho Dias' color-hatched portrait of Pope Benedict XVI. WHY WE LOVE IT: Dias has a whole series dedicated to intriguing portraits of Benedict XVI. Image: Martinho Dias, #1 - Benedictus XVI - Portugal, paper, 22.8 x 15 in (Courtesy of SaatchiOnline.com)
WHAT: French anticlerical artist Jean-Paul Laurens painted this landmark work in 1870. WHY WE LOVE IT: It depicts the famed "Cadaver Synod," when controversial pope Formosus (891 to 896 AD) was posthumously tried and convicted of perjury. Image: Jean-Paul Laurens (1838–1921), Le Pape Formose et Etienne VII - Concile cadavérique de 897 (Pope Formosus and Stephen VII - The "Cadaver Synod"), 1870, oil, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes (Wikimedia)
WHAT: A hilarious take on the pope courtesy of Italian artist Pep Marchegiani. WHY WE LOVE IT: It's part of an entire series titled "Vatigun," which you can view here. Image: Pep Marchegiani
WHAT: A tribute to Pope John Paul II painted on a security gate in New York City. Artist James De La Vega, a graffiti artist with a degree from Cornell University, painted it on a Spanish Harlem storefront. WHY WE LOVE IT: Who doesn't love some good papal street art design? Image: Spencer Platt/Getty Images
WHAT: China-based artist Michael Tsaturyan's "Pope Art." Get it? WHY: Catholic Andy Warhol would be so proud. Image: Michael Tsaturyan, Pope Art, Courtesy of SaatchiOnline.com
WHAT: Diego Velázquez's portrait of Pope Innocent X. WHY WE LOVE IT: Scroll to the next slide... Image: Portrait of Pope Innocent X, by Diego Velázquez (1650). Roma, Galleria Doria-Pampili.
WHAT: Francis Bacon's remix of Velazquez's Pope Innocent X. WHY WE LOVE IT: It is definitely one of the more frightening artworks we have ever seen. Image: Francis Bacon, Untitled (Pope), Circa 1954, Est. $18/25 million, Sotheby's New York, Contemporary Art Evening Sale, 13 November 2012.
WHAT: A mural of Pope John Paul II in Mexico City. WHY WE LOVE IT: This is the most vibrant, bizarre portrait of JPII we have ever seen. Image: LAURA CANO/AFP/Getty Images
WHAT: A portrait of Pope Leo X, with Giulio de' Medici (1478-1534), future Pope Clement VII, to the left and his cousin Luigi de Rossi (1474-1519) to the right. WHY WE LOVE IT: We're not trying to stereotype here, but this looks like it could be an early scene in "Goodfellas." Just look at Clement VII's scowl and tell us he's not going to make someone pay. Image: Pope Leo X, between 1518 and 1519, oil on wood, 154 × 119 cm (60.6 × 46.9 in), Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence
WHAT: Portrait of Pope Benedict XVI seated nude, duh. WHY WE LOVE IT: Need we say more? Image: Karine-Percheron Daniels
WHAT: A portrait of Pope Benedict XVI by German artist Michael Triegel. WHY WE LOVE IT: When Pope Benedict greeted the artist at the Vatican, he reportedly said, "Ah, so you're my Raphael..." Image: AP Photo/Jens Meyer
WHAT: Portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael. WHY WE LOVE IT: That is one sad pope, guys. (We do love the copious amount of rings he's rocking, though.) Image: Raphael (1483–1520), Pope Julius II, 1511–1512, oil on panel, 63 × 40 cm (24.8 × 15.7 in), National Gallery
WHAT: The Vatican's newest official court artist Natalia Tsarkova poses next to a painting of Pope Benedict XVI on December 18, 2012 in her studio by Rome. WHY WE LOVE IT: After Michelangelo and Raphael, the Vatican's latest official painter is something of an unusual choice -- an ebullient Russian woman with a pet owl. Image: ALBERTO PIZZOLI/AFP/Getty Images

My Little Pony Birth Control Pills?
By viki-mason on May 16, 2012
I've just watched a campaign ad for Barack Obama entitled "Dreams of our Daughters."
The narrator of the video is a "mother" of young girls. We watch the children and learn that they have lofty goals and big dreams. (I'm applauding through this part because I think all children should have big dreams.)
Then I learn that if these girls don't have birth control, they'll not be able to reach those goals.
Birth control medication is a relatively new idea. My third great-grandmother did not need free birth control pills in order to become a doctor or to be one of the first women to cast a ballot in Wyoming territory. Rosa Parks didn't need free access to birth control to get the civil rights movement rolling. Amelia Earhart didn't need free birth control in order to become the first woman to fly the Atlantic. Geraldine Ferraro didn't need birth control pills to become the first female vice presidential candidate.
These women had something better. They had self control. And, as all successful people know, discipline is the key to success of any kind.
Throughout the ages, women have known that if they were reckless enough to engage in sexual activity before they were in a position to care for a child, they would pay incredible consequences. The restraint they learned served them well throughout their lives. They learned that some things are worth the sacrifice of one's instant gratification. They knew that promiscuity can be a deadly game.
So if I understand this ad correctly, the narrator wants me to buy her daughters birth control and/or abortion-inducing drugs so that she doesn't have to teach them those critical lessons about abstinence and how to treat their bodies with respect and dignity?
This comes from a real-life father of young daughters. Can you spell shameful?
And the narrator, in her little letter to Barack Obama, tells us she is working to re-elect him because he's going to help her set her daughters free. He will help her give her daughters permission to throw caution to the wind and to disregard any religious training they may have had. Oh. My bad. When a woman is already worrying about keeping her six and ten year old daughters in free birth control, they are likely not getting much in the way of a moral compass.
If you listen carefully, you can hear old Doctor Delilah Babcock rolling over in her Wyoming grave.

The store was very busy and there was only one staff person working.
The gentlemen who checked me in (return) was awesome.
We had to wait a lot as they only had one person later on the day. Both times checking in and out we specified we wanted the move deal many times but the total kept coming out wrong. So it took even more time n it was still wrong so the gm had to refund the money separetely. Overall not a big deal but kinda of delayed us. But good service overall. I would still use them again just plan for being there longer.
Great friendly and fast service!!
I requested the pick up at the South Byrne location and spoke with a female in that office twice before the pickup. She was very nice but never mentioned that when our actual pick up spot had been changed due to availability.
When we went to pick up at South Byrne, the man there was a complete asshole. Rude! About the location being changed without notice, didn't care at all! When we asked him for the address of the new location, he claimed he didn't know it and wouldn't look it up for us. We will never go back there again or recommend to anyone.
You all should let the customer know in advance about needing insurance. I would think that the insurance would be in the price for these high units. We're only renting a small unit, and paying too much for it.
The customer service was excellent but the truck breaking down on us less then a half hour after renting it was horrible
Nick, the staff member was very friendly and even setup our trailer in the rain for us, great service!
I called and was told to pull my equipment to the back but nobody answered any of the doors in the back. I had to walk around the block to the front of the location to find assistance.
Very good service. I was shocked to see how well kept the site looked.
it was good. Helpful staff and had no issues with purchase, use or return
Everything went very smoothly in both the rental and return.
Make sure when you say the vehicle has a full tank that it actually does.
The location is tricky because it seems you could use more parking area, but overall, your staff was excellent, the equipment clean and very useful. Thanks.
Very polite and professional. Ended an extremely negative experience on a positive note.
Needs a bigger more efficient parking lot for customers. It was confusing therefore I would not recommend this location. The staff was excellent.
Double check the fuel gauge with the customer before issuing a vehicle.
Reserving online was simple aND the staff was helpful and nice
did not have furniture blankets in truck, yet charged me for me. Then did not correct issues.
very pleased with your services. everyone was very professional and pleasant. the process was simple. i am a happy customer.
need a bigger lot!
Everything was great! !!
Manager was training a new guy and kept calling him an idiot, in a packed store. the new guys sucked it up and kept trying, but clearly was not well trained on the computers to start with, and from where I was standing the manager was more interested in berating him than helping him. As a Resort Manager with 130 employees, I can not imagine embarrassing an employee in-front of guests, let along making myself look so foolish.... obviously some HR training is needed. Very busy store, seemed to need more staff both times I was there.
Dropped off truck in afternoon. Greeted promptly and finalized rental paperwork very quickly. Great experience. Would highly recommend others to use this location.

Lawn care professionals and manufacturers will speak at the Propane Pavilion about mower usage and refueling options for contractors.
WASHINGTON – Lawn and landscape contractors can learn from their peers about the advantages of using propane-fueled commercial lawn mowers, along with ease of refueling, in the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) Propane Pavilion (booth No. 11198) at the GIE+EXPO 2011.
Contractors from around the nation will discuss why they transitioned to propane-fueled mowers and selected the refueling approach that meets their unique needs: A propane cylinder exchange program, or a combination of cylinder exchange and on-site dispensing, with an on-site refueling infrastructure that includes a large tank and a no-spill dispenser. Those contractors, along with other green industry leaders, will explain how propane-fueled mowers provide cost savings, while meeting growing customer requests for environmentally friendly solutions.
Manufacturer representatives will speak about their propane-fueled mowers and the attributes that matter most to contractors and their customers. Multiple models of propane-fueled mowers also will be available for viewing in the Propane Pavilion, along with information on how a propane cylinder exchange program works.
Visit www.poweredbypropane.org prior to the GIE+EXPO (Oct. 27-29) or the PERC Propane Pavilion for a full seminar schedule.

Air conditioners will continue to get a break on Friday around Washington, D.C.
Dry air working into the nation's capital will not only keep soaking rain absent through Friday but also typical August heat.
High temperatures will be held to the lower 80s on Friday, which is more common during the first half of September. A high of 87 F is typical in mid-August.
Low humidity will complement the weather, creating ideal conditions for many outdoor activities. This includes when the Nationals return to home to play the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday evening.
The dry air is being ushered in following the passage of the storm system that caused Islip on Long Island to shatter New York state's 24-hour rainfall record.
Tannersville, New York, previously held the record with the 11.60 inches that poured down during once-Hurricane Irene on Aug. 27-28, 2011.

Temperatures will rebound back into the middle 80s to start the weekend, but humidity will remain comfortably low and dry weather will persist.
The return of higher humidity and thunderstorms is expected for Sunday.

The stream of moisture into the Southwest is drying out some, so this weekend may not be as wet as the previous few days.
The air felt like an exceptional 163 F in Bandar Mahshahr, Iran, on Friday and similar or worse conditions will follow.
Drenching thunderstorms bring little-to-no relief to drought-stricken areas of the Sunshine State.

Awesome! Quick & easy! Very professional! So glad our friends told us about garden grocer! No complaints at all! Even though I ordered more than any of us could eat during our Disney vacation. I only ordered stuff for quick breakfasts & snacks & bottled water, since we had Disney's free dining plan. If we didn't have the Disney dining plan we probably would've ordered more from garden grocer. I would recommend garden grocer to everyone planning a Disney World vacation!!! Thanks garden grocer! Keep up the good work!!!
The Garden Grocer was the perfect option for us getting groceries to our Disney resort! We were able to order breakfast and snack items to have in our room to save us both time and money on our trip. We ordered some healthy options like fruit and yogurt, since in the parks we tended to splurge. Thank you so much for such a great service!
We ordered supplies for our week at Disney world. Every thing was delivered at the time I specified and exactly as it should have been. It was a huge help to have these things delivered since we flew and we're not renting a car! I would definitely use Garden Grocer again next time I'm in the area!

Press Cup rivals slug it out in the storm
Relevant offers
Nelson College will gladly bank yesterday's 17-3 Press Cup win over Shirley Boys' High School and head happily into next week's Quadrangular Tournament in Whanganui.
It wasn't a day for bonus-point wins or flowing rugby. The rain wasn't constant but, combined with a blustery northerly and a wet, muddy Nelson College playing surface, the conditions constantly tested everyone's resolve.
Shirley were a competitive outfit. They made their tackles, were disruptive at the breakdowns and put pressure on a troublesome Nelson scrum. Yet Nelson produced the game's only two tries.
No 8 Turoa Stephens typically powered over from close range just before the break to give the home team a slender 7-3 halftime lead. Substitute forward Cory Whakatihi added the second, again from close range, with just four minutes remaining, leaving fullback Brent Dalley to contribute both conversions and a penalty in a faultless goalkicking display.
The obvious strength of this year's Nelson team is the driving power of their aggressive pack. Flanker Brendan Asomua-Goodman and Stephens again set the pace, with only accurate Shirley defence denying Nelson early points after good continuity and clever ball recycling seriously threatened the opposition line.
Shirley played smart, exploiting any turnovers - and a helpful wind - to thump the ball deep back into Nelson territory. Nelson persisted with their forward-oriented attack, but Shirley grabbed the game's first lead with a 13th-minute penalty to No 10 Terewa Tamihana.
It took another 20 minutes for Stephens to finally breach Shirley's solid defence, and while it also took Nelson a long time to assert any second-half ascendancy, they clearly had enough in reserve to complete the win.
However, frustrating breakdown infringements and the inevitability of spilled possession in the trying conditions created a testing atmosphere for everyone.
Lock Kane Davis was a key figure in Nelson's early lineout execution, with fellow lock Quentin Strange and flanker Jake Amlehn and front rowers Jake Wetere. Joe Brady and Petter Faingaanuku each accpeting their share of the workload.
Nelson now head to Whanganui with some momentum behind them and a date with Christ's College in Monday's opening round.

Relationships: The Challenge of Disengaging
Relationships: The Challenge of Disengaging
Relationships: The Challenge of Disengaging
How do you generally respond in the following situations?
- Someone you care about and is important in your life — your partner, a close friend, your employer, your parent, your child — says something derogatory about you or something you don't agree with.
- Someone you care about complains about a situation, seeing themselves as a victim.
- Someone close to you makes irrational statements about themselves, about you, about others, or about a situation or event.
- Someone you care about verbally attacks you and/or blames you for something.
Do you jump in and correct them, explaining, defending, denying, arguing? What happens when you do?
Do you walk away, withdrawing in anger, judgment and blame — blaming your partner or yourself? How do you feel when you behave this way?
The chances are if you do either of these the interactions, the conflict escalates into more attack, blame, complaints, verbal abuse, and other irrational behavior, or both of you retreat into distant, angry silence, inwardly blaming and punishing each other for your own misery.
What might happen if you lovingly disengage, i.e. walk away with your heart open, with no anger or judgment, no rumination about how awful the other person is, praying for the person and singing a little happy song in your mind? (Singing a happy song distracts you from blame and rumination). What might happen if you lovingly disengage and do an Inner Bonding process?
What might happen is that the other person is left with his or her own behavior to deal with rather than being able to further blame you. What might happen is that when the other person is no longer angry, blaming, complaining or attacking and comes back to re-connect with you, you are open and ready for connection.
This sounds simple, yet why is it so hard to do? Why is it so hard to lovingly disengage?
There are two major answers to this question:
- The ego wounded self believes that you can control how another person feels, thinks and acts — that you can control getting another person out of his or her intent to protect and into the intent to learn. The wounded self believes that, if you say or do the right thing, you can control the other person into opening up to you and seeing things your way.
- The wounded self is terrified of feeling the core painful feelings of loneliness and helplessness over others, believing that you cannot handle these feelings.
If you lovingly disengage, keeping your heart open to yourself and to the other person, you will feel the loneliness and heartache that is always there when someone you care about disconnects from themselves and you. And you will feel the helplessness that you will always feel when you fully accept that you cannot control the other person.
In order to be willing to feel these painful feelings you need to know exactly how to manage them. Actually, managing them as an adult is quite easy.
- Acknowledge the feelings, embracing them with deep compassion.
- Sit with the feelings, keeping them company for a few minutes, the way you would with a child who is hurting.
- Once your inner child feels heard and comforted, consciously release the feelings to Spirit, asking for them to be replaced with love and peace.
The whole process usually takes less than 10 minutes. While feelings of loneliness, heartache and helplessness over others were completely unmanageable as children, now they are easy to manage when you know how — and when you being loving adult who wants to take responsibility for your feelings.
Once you learn to manage your feelings of loneliness and helplessness over others, and once you accept your total lack of control over others feelings, thoughts and actions, you will find that you can easily disengage with love.
Try it! You will be deeply gratified by taking this loving action.

In Hanoi, Vietnam, where most people are raised to be farmers, there aren't a lot of vocational opportunities outside of agriculture. One stroke of bad luck can wipe out a year's worth of hard work -- drought or flood can destroy the year's crops, and the year's income. A lot of farmland is being purchased by developers of apartment buildings, leaving many farmers with no land, no vocational skills, and no source of income.
Craftbeauty is a fair trade craft organization that provides skills and a steady source of income to disadvantaged women who wouldn't otherwise have any options, including farming women, and women with disabilities. In Vietnam only about 15% of disabled persons receive training in vocational skills, and many end up unemployed and very poor. Craftbeauty offers these women (between the ages of 18 and 40 years old) a chance to learn about silk weaving, tailoring, embroidery, fashion, and quality control, and pays almost double the Vietnamese national livable wage. In addition to giving them a source of income, a skill set, and a safe workplace, these positions help the women retain their dignity, self worth, and confidence.

Well not all headphones annoy me, i'm sure that there are a few that are just great. Yes i usually use an equalizer, but it can only do so much. For example the Grado is a very bright can, but i use an eq and it seems just great afterwards. But i knew that this was how a Sr80i sounded and even so i still hear hisses sometimes. But i usually listen co classic/acoustic rock with these so it's ok. Similar my FA Eterna is quite sibilant sometimes, but i eq it and then it's good. The only pair i have found no sibilance whatsoever except on poorely recorded tracks is my Senn HD380 Pro, but I'm starting to think that it's the exception rather than the rule.

Well, if you're troubled by sibilance that much, you can always get IEMs with "calmer" and "laid-back" sound-sig, though I don't know if that kind of sound caters to your liking or not.
One laid-back IEM I'm familiar with is Shure SE215; Its sound-sig doesn't tire me out and that's one of the reason why it's still my to-go IEM for long flights or extended-but-relaxed listening session. You might miss some details if you're coming from a detailed headphone, but I think it's a fair trade-off.

Too bad then, was hoping that they wouldn't hurt my ears. It's annoying because the more you go up the headphones ladder, the more probable it is for it to have sibilance problems (have tried a few 300 euro+ headphones, they all had it).
Anyway thanks for the responses.
But replacing the stock tips can change/improve the SQ of an IEM, IMO. Try SHE3590 one of my favorites, it's only 15$ below, though it's quite siblant but found out that the problem was regarding the stock tips. Need to replace it with the longer tips or triple flange. Now the treble smoothen, I still can hear siblance, but It's the right siblance that I want to.
Try reading the review and feedbacks regarding the SHE3590 here.
EDIT: Sorry the link I gave was a review/impression about the 3580 not 3590. :D

Poem by Taymaz Valley: taymazvalley.com
Love Will Set You Free
I am a stranger looking for that moment of clarity,
every nook and cranny, leaving no stone unturned,
for a moment so precious, no gold shall ever compare,
no diamond glistening will do, no silk smooth enough.
I've walked this earth without fear, from the farthest point,
from continent to continent, from country to country,
tasting every delight, rain from every sky drop by drop,
and yet never belonged, my soul never took that flight.
I'm bound to this body, failing to break through my skin,
touching your cheeks, tears role down mine relentlessly,
because I realize I'm only touching myself, never penetrating,
I cannot selfishly feel you my dear, I cannot see what you see.
My thoughts can travel the galaxies, my imagination soaring,
but I know I shall never know the real truth, that limitless key,
that true simplicity, because I'm imprisoned in this mortal cage,
only to be released in the end, when the grim gatekeeper sets me free.
If this life is a journey, then you are the universe I seek,
and I can only promise to love you dearly, without hesitation,
without asking for anything in return, not even your devotion,

Mexico City plans to draw drinking water from a mile-deep aquifer. The effort challenges a key tenet of U.S. clean water policy: Water far underground can be intentionally polluted because it will never be used.

That sounds like it would be a lot more accurate. My machine is ALL over the place!

You can alwayd take your BP cuff up to your doctors and have them compare them.
Posted 07/21/2014
I agree this is a great idea! Seriously got freaked out over nothing!.
Posted 07/21/2014
I agree with PP, take it with you and have them do a reading at the same time. It's totally possible your reading at home was right, and it went down at the doctors!
Maggie + Chris 10/8/06 = Francesca(Frankie) 10/8/10 and Samuel (Sammy) 8/30/14

Yikes, I hope that is not the case. But you're right. It could just be fluctuating.

There are a lot of caveats to properly taking your BP (many aren't always followed at doctors offices). There are also unreliable home monitors. What kind do you have? Is the cuff always at heart height? Are you seated with back support with your feet flat on the ground? Have you given yourself time to rest from walking/eating/talking before taking your measurement?
You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

I think the cuff might not fit accurately, which I've heard can cause it to not work properly. I sit the right way, but I don't always give myself time to relax before taking it.

I had the same thing happen then it was perfectly fine at the dr. I dont use the machine anymore. They're not calibrated correctly

Your growing child
Your 11-month-old: Week 1
Wordlike sounds are now spilling out of your baby, and he's able to use some of them meaningfully. As his brain continues to develop, so does his ability to reason and speak. Read More
Your 11-month-old: Week 2
Your baby probably enjoys looking at books and leafing through the pages, though turning those pages one by one doesn't always happen. Indulge in great picture books or stick with sturdy and inexpensive board books that can stand up to small fingers. Read More
Your 11-month-old: Week 3
It's a good time to introduce your baby to the concept of helping out. Though he won't be able to get it just yet, by the time he's a toddler he'll be excited to assist in putting toys away and picking up spilled snacks. Read More
Your 11-month-old: Week 4
If your baby isn't walking already, she's likely to take her first independent steps soon. (If not, don't worry. Some perfectly normal babies are 17 or 18 months old before they start walking.) Read More
