ASH WEDNESDAY: England's young stars have the talent... now they must make it happen on the world's biggest stage (just as Ozil, Muller and Khedira did back in 2010)
- Germany played without fear during an extraordinary afternoon in 2010
- Now it's up to Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley and Co to emulate that side
- Hodgson's plan against Italy is to win the ball back and then give it to fresh young legs who can make an impact in the final third. It is sensible planning
- Germans meanwhile, talking with conviction that they will win World Cup
In the weeks to come, it would be something special if it was Germany's turn to drool over Roy Hodgson's audacious decision to take the kids to a World Cup.
Back in 2010, when Germany humbled England 4-1 in the second round, it felt like a young man's tournament.
Three of Joachim Low's forwards - Sami Khedira (23), Mesut Ozil (21) and Thomas Muller (20) - danced around Matthew Upson and John Terry at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
Aged 20, Toni Kroos, now regarded as one of the best midfielders in the game, was on the substitutes' bench. Manuel Neuer (24), Philipp Lahm (26), Jerome Boateng (21), Per Mertesacker (25) taught England a lesson in possession.
Lesson in love: Thomas Muller celebrates with Mesut Ozil (left) and Miroslav Klose consoles Wayne Rooney following Germany's 4-1 victory over England in the second round of the 2010 World Cup

- Emmanuel Adebayor has picked up £3.4m in wages since his last start, scored just twice this season and will only leave Tottenham for Real Madrid or Chelsea... as ever, his club pays the biggest price 14/04/15
It was shock and awe. They played without fear of reprisal, shredding Matthew Upson to pieces during an extraordinary afternoon for English football. Muller, who was later named the best young player at the tournament, scored twice.
Roy Hodgson will not be quite as cavalier, but it would be special if Raheem Sterling, Jack Wilshere, Daniel Sturridge, Luke Shaw and, hopefully, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain returned to similar acclaim.
We know they have the talent, particularly after outstanding seasons with their clubs. Now they have to make it happen and turn it to their advantage at the world's biggest football tournament.
Many England fans are scarred by the performance under Fabio Capello four years ago and it is easy to forget what happened next to Low's breathtaking team.
A few days later Germany played even better when they destroyed Argentina 4-0 in the quarter-final with one of the most devastating performances in the history of the World Cup. In the semi-final, those young legs ran out of steam against the eventual champions, Spain.
In the build up to this year's World Cup, they have been talking with some conviction about winning it for a fourth time.
Low and his players really believe they can emulate the achievements of Sepp Herberger (1954), Helmut Schon (1974) and Franz Beckenbauer (1990).
They have a rich history at the World Cup, winning three and losing four finals. They seem certain they will reach another.
A few days ago Low, Germany's charismatic coach, was pictured counting four fingers in recognition of the target. It was a bold thing to agree to do and not something you would expect to see from England's head coach Hodgson.
Stats of the show: Germany put Argentina to the sword in their thumping 4-0 victory back in 2010
On song: Germany's brilliant victory was one of the most devastating in the history of the World Cup
Last week Andre Schurrle spoke of the expectancy in Germany and the demand to win another World Cup. It feels like their time is coming. With Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sven Bender, Lars Bender, Khedira and Kroos competing for a place in their midfield, they are a formidable team.
Germany have improved. A World Cup in Brazil is a true test for a team's life cycle, particularly for any European team. Let's not forget that Spain, the reigning world and European champions, were beaten 3-0 by Brazil in last summer's Confederations Cup final in the Maracana. But Germany have an outstanding group of players and have had time to mature since 2010.
They had another semi-final at Euro 2012, before they were beaten by Italy. The current crop already have course and distance.
Hodgson has dipped his toe in the water with his squad, reaching out for some younger players as part of a plan to protect the future of the England team.
The head coach hasn't been quite as cavalier, but it is to be hoped that the younger players can still cause something of a stir against Italy on Saturday.
Star man: Liverpool youngster Raheem Sterling has impressed for England in training ahead of the World Cup
Waiting in the wings: Jack Wilshere, Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge could enhance their reputations
Hodgson is realistic enough to know that the Manaus heat - it was 35 degrees celsius on Tuesday without taking into the account the humidity - will be a huge factor. He cannot realistically expect Steven Gerrard, at 34, to make those lung-busting runs up and down the field in the opening game.
Instead the captain will be patrolling in front of the back four and asked to conserve energy and use his experience to bring some of the younger members of the squad in to play.
Hodgson's plan is to win the ball back and then make sure that Gerrard and Henderson give it to fresh young legs who can make an impact in the final third. It is sensible planning.
They are in a tough pool of teams, but Germany lost one of their group games back in 2010 and it didn't hurt them.
England's warm-up matches are no great indicators and it is far too early to start talking about the revolution of English football. For once, though, it would be nice to talk about a revelation.

(By Balaseshan) Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX) said it has agreed to buy privately-held Lund, Sweden-based dialysis product company Gambro AB for 26.5 billion Swedish krona or about $4 billion from Investor AB and EQT IV.
Baxter expects this transaction to be dilutive to adjusted earnings per share (EPS) by $0.10 to $0.15 in 2013 and neutral to modestly accretive to adjusted EPS in 2014. Excluding the impact of special items and estimated amortization of intangible assets, the company expects this transaction to be neutral to adjusted EPS in 2013, and accretive in 2014 by $0.20 to $0.25.
The company expects this transaction to be increasingly accretive to adjusted earnings per diluted share beyond 2014 and, in addition to an array of commercial synergies, projects opportunities for annual cost synergies totaling about $300 million by 2017.
[Related -Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Baxter International (BAX): Two Healthcare Stocks Primed To Outperform]
Baxter now expects over its five-year long-range financial plan to increase sales (excluding the impact of foreign currency) by 7% to 8% and to grow adjusted EPS in the 8% to 10% range, both on a compounded annual basis.
The transaction will be financed through a combination of cash generated from overseas operations and debt. Baxter expects to maintain its current dividend payout ratio of about 40%.
The acquisition gives Baxter a comprehensive dialysis product portfolio, complements Baxter's global home dialysis offerings, and positions the company to better meet the evolving needs of the large and growing dialysis market.
[Related -7 Dividend Stocks Sending More Cash To Shareholders]
The value of Gambro's equity is 18.3 billion Swedish krona after deducting net debt of 8.2 billion Swedish krona (net debt as of signing).
In 2006, EQT and Investor, through Indap AB, took Gambro private through a joint public offer. In conjunction with Indap's public offer, Investor contributed its 20% ownership in Gambro for a 49% ownership in Indap while releasing cash of 3.6 billion Swedish krona.
Total proceeds to Investor will be about 10.5 billion Swedish krona. The proceeds will be used for investments in existing Core Investments, to delever subsidiaries and return Investor's leverage to the target range of 5% to 10%.
The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the first half of 2013.
BAX closed Monday's regular session down 0.71% at $65.80. The stock has been trading between $47.55 and $68.91 for the past 52 weeks.

Home > Press > Starpharma Holdings (ASX:SPL) Announce Commercial Product Launch Of Priostar(R) Dendrimer Technology As NanoJuiceTM
Starpharma Holdings Ltd (ASX:SPL, OTCQX:SPHRY) today announced the first commercial product launch based on its Priostar(R) dendrimer technology.
The product, a research reagent kit called NanoJuiceTM Transfection Kit for transporting DNA into cells, was developed under a license and supply agreement established in February 2007 between Starpharma's wholly owned US subsidiary Dendritic Nanotechnologies (DNT) and EMD Chemicals Inc., an affiliate of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
Under the commercial agreement, Starpharma retains full rights to all in vivo aspects of transfecting DNA and other nucleic acids such as siRNA with products based on Priostar(R) technology. Starpharma supplies the Priostar(R) dendrimers and will receive royalties from the sale of the transfection kits.
The NanoJuiceTM Transfection Kit launched by EMD Chemicals will be marketed to researchers as an improved product for optimal transfection efficiencies, low toxicity to cells and flexibility in the conditions of transfection.
In addition, the reagent is suitable for use with all types of cell growth media and does not require that the medium be changed after addition, thereby affording researchers substantial savings in time and money.
The transfection reagent in the kit is based on Starpharma's Priostar(R) dendrimers, highly branched spherical molecules with a high concentration of active groups on the surface that bind to DNA and are taken up by cells. It is the only reagent available that has been optimized for different cell lines through the use of different sizes of dendrimer.
The kit was designed to achieve efficient transfection of mammalian cells, especially those derived directly from tissues (so-called 'primary' cells), as well as the cell lines that are traditionally difficult to transfect.
The kit consists of Priostar(R) dendrimers mixed with microscopic lipid-based spheres that carry multiple positively charged groups.
DNT expects EMD to launch a related siRNA transfection reagent kit later in 2008.
About Starpharma Holdings Ltd
Starpharma Holdings Limited (ASX:SPL, OTCQX:SPHRY) is a world leader in the development of dendrimer nanotechnology for pharmaceutical, life-science and other applications. SPL is principally composed of two operating companies, Starpharma Pty Ltd in Melbourne, Australia and Dendritic Nanotechnologies, Inc in Michigan, USA. Products based on SPL's dendrimer technology are already on the market in the form of diagnostic elements and laboratory reagents.

Jennifer Lawrence Wins Oscars Then Goes Brunette
Wondering how you can too? As one of the leading manufacturers of professional hair color, IT&LY Hairfashion shares their expert tips for "How to go from Blonde to Brunette" just like Jennifer Lawrence.
Just hours after winning her first Oscar,Jennifer Lawrence made the drastic jump from blonde to brunette. This not so easy color transformation requires several steps prior to achieve even and natural results.
First, IT&LY's color experts suggest shampooing the hair with a chelating shampoo like IT&LY's ACP Chelating Treatment Shampoo to remove any traces of oils and styling products that can leave a build-up on the hair preventing even color coverage. Next, after drying the hair, mist with a leave in treatment such as 2 Phase Hydrashine to even the porosity. IT&LY's Colorly 2020 permanent hair color 4TN (Coffee Brown) will provide that deep rich brunette color. After processing, rinse thoroughly then lightly shampoo and condition with IT&LY's Advanced Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner followed by spritzing their Color Loc to seal the cuticle for long lasting coverage.

Research Approaches 2: Quantitative research How many versus how well Ian Grigor School of Healthcare Aim To understand the role of quantitative research School of Healthcare Objectives l To understand the principle of research methods adopting a quantitative approach (basically involving experimental design) l To interpret the role of quantitative research l To comment on the strengths and weaknesses of quantitative research School of Healthcare What is research? The generation of information (perhaps) New concepts and understanding consisting of New models as opposed to New theories unsupported So we need evidence opinion as opposed to anecdote validity Determinants are reliability generalisability School of Healthcare Quantitative research traditions l Focus predominantly (though not exclusively) on experimental design. A good example might be a survey questionnaire l Experimental design has long been perceived as the gold standard for medically-orientated research l Rely largely on statistical measures and require larger samples and more structured data collection tools (Polit et al 2001) School of Healthcare Why and when do we prefer to talk in quantitative terms? l We like to quantify "things" because we have an awareness of scales l There's an element of "value" attached to a quantity l When we're "being professional" l When it's necessary to get a message across School of Healthcare What is quantitative research? Burns & Grove (1987) "... a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data are utilized to obtain information about the world" and "a research method which is used to describe and test relationships and to examine cause- and-effect relationships". School of Healthcare Elements of quantitative research l Tests and experiments under controlled conditions l Cause and effect relationships (Alderson 1998) l Gathering numerical data objectively l Results lend themselves to statistical analyses l Evaluation of results confirm or refute the original hypothesis School of Healthcare Elements of quantitative research can be described as positivist paradigms… l Quantitative data l Statistical analysis within definitive concepts (logical mathematics) l Atomistic (focusing on component parts) l Studying discrete relationships l Being of low complexity??? l Potentially seeking to explain laws l Requiring control subjects/sets l Ultimately, we should understand what we don't know at present!! School of Healthcare Samples for study Your "sample" is the group of cases (people, organisations, etc.) that you study in your research l It should be either comprehensive i.e. everyone or a selection that is truly randomised, inclusive and controlled l It should not be a limited study of 12 (cf Wakefield et al 1994: 1998: 2001) unless that is all that is in the population under scrutiny School of Healthcare In relation to our ongoing MMR theme… Studies by Gillberg & Heijbel (1998); Honda (2005); Peltola et al (1998); Taylor et al (1999) quantified the number of doses of MMR given over a period of time in a specific country or area and also quantified the number of cases of autism diagnosed in the population given the MMR vaccine.

The Changing of the Guard During WrestleMania 9 Was Not Pretty
The World Wrestling Federation decided to take a more unique and creative approach with their annual wrestling extravaganza. Toning down it from the 60,000 plus audience attendance, WrestleMania 9 would scale it back to having a show with 16,000 fans instead. However it was not in the interest of making a more intimate feel for the fans but rather the WWF taking advantage of their Las Vegas, Nevada venue, Caesars Palace.
Just like Trump Plaza, Caesars Palace would host a variety of legendary boxing matches, but Caesars would not only be the home of the WWF that night, but it would also be the world's largest toga party. With flare and feel of Julius Caesar, Spartacus and Cleopatra everywhere, this regal event could not go wrong right? Wrong.
This WrestleMania would be the event where Hulk Hogan would make his WWF PPV return. Hogan would be teaming up with Brutus The Barber Beefcake to try to capture the WWF Tag Team Titles from Money Inc. (The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and IRS).
There was already locker room tension brewing since Hogan could just come in and automatically get a tag team title shot, disregarding the likes of The Steiner Brothers, The Head Shrinkers, The Natural Disasters and The Beverly Brothers. But not only did Hogan get one main event spot during Mania, but he gets two? In addition to his tag match, Hogan would then get an impromptu match against newly crowned WWF Champion Yokozuna, after Yoko defeated Bret Hart.
Bret Hart had a fulfilled 10-minute match with the 500 pound behemoth, making Yokozuna look unstoppable. But immediately after the match, Hogan came in and defeated the giant in 21 seconds and won the title. Sure this was very exciting for the fans worldwide, but didn't sit too well with the guys in the locker room. The message that it sent to everyone who have been working every night non-stop was a very dangerous one.
If the wrestlers would've decided to rebel against the ideas of the company and the politics, the front offices would have been out numbered. And who would have blamed them? After all, Hogan would not appear on television again until The King of the Ring pay per view in June to defend the title against Yokozuna, who would recapture the belt, becoming a two-time champion.
The rumor at the time was Hulk Hogan was to have a program with Bret Hart leading to Summer Slam 1993 for the title. But Hulk Hogan refused the idea of having this program, stating that Hitman was "Not ready to be in the ring with him". Since Hogan refused the program the WWF would go in a different direction with Hogan dropping the title to Yokozuna at the pay per view.
Hogan did not win any friends when he made his return back to the WWF in early 1993. However, the locker room was much different from what it used to be. Much of the locker room was filled with a lot of newer, younger talent on the roster, which placed Hogan in a very uncomfortable position. This may have been the reason why Hogan was only on television four times between Feb and June 1993. He may be known as being "Immortal", but even supermen of his caliber have a kryptonite.

Real Housewives of New York City Recap: Why Did Ramona Singer Tearfully Apologize to the Countess?
Originally posted 04/15/2015 01:35AM
The Real Housewives of New York City headed to the Hamptons Tuesday night, where the wives wined, whined and dined.
"It's a lot having people go through your stuff," said LuAnn de Lesseps, who held an estate sale at the Hamptons home she was selling. "I had a lot of great times and a lot of sad times."
Both of which Ramona Singer evoked before apologizing to the Countess for being so crass to her in the past about her difficult divorce.
"I owe you the biggest apology, I really do," said an emotional Singer, who accused the Countess last year of being in an open relationship and having a cheating husband. "Now I know what you went through … I'm so upset about what I said. It was callous."
But the Countess didn't forgive so easily.

"She's a little skinny-girl for me," said Dubrow, punning on Frankel's multi-million-dollar beverage brand.
After Frankel lashed out at the "fame-hungry" doctor on Twitter, she spoke to PEOPLE Now, shooting back that "people with skinny wives shouldn't throw stones."

Bethenny Frankel's new book I Suck at Relationships So You Don't Have To sounded like a fun idea, but it turns out nothing was more serious for the reality star.
"I learn more from my mistakes than my successes," Frankel, 44, tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. Her biggest mistake? "Not going with my gut."
"Everyone always talks about going with your head or your heart, but I think you should go with your gut," says Frankel, who's still battling in court with her second husband, Jason Hoppy, more than two years after their split. "Your heart might be telling you, 'I love this person. I love sex with this person,' but you might not be compatible. And your head can say this person is great on paper, but your gut can tell you when something is off."

Though Frankel, 44, was reportedly in L.A., the rest of the Housewives gathered at New York City's AOA restaurant on Tuesday to celebrate the show's return with endless glasses of Singer's favorite, pinot grigio.

Rangers 4, Blue Jays 1: I think it's safe to say that, after a couple of rocky starts to begin the year, Yu Darvish is starting to get comfortable. He struck out nine Blue Jays while giving up a single run in seven innings. The homer was by the incredibly hot Edwin Encarnacion, who has gone long in four straight...

Book review: 'The Witnesses' is full of thrilling conviction
"THE WITNESSES," by Stephanie Black, Covenant Communications, $16.99, 280 pages (f)
In the fictitious New America, religion is illegal, many books are forbidden and people are encouraged to spy on their neighbors. "The Witnesses" takes place two months after "The Believer" and continues the story of a man who stanchly believes in the most controversial and banned book of all: The Book of Mormon.
Book two of this two-book futuristic series takes several surprising turns. Through a series of miracles, Ian, Jill and Alisa are alive but now in danger of being discovered. Also at risk are those who helped fake their executions, themselves in perilous political standings. While undergoing mental upheavals and the constant fear of discovery, the death-cheaters learn that needed inner strength only comes from one place: God.
New America is a newborn nation, an offshoot of the United States. The legacy of its founder, power-hungry President Tremont, lives on under current President Ryce. Ryce, still reeling after an attempted coup, is a paranoid elderly woman, obsessed with cheating death. Her suspicion of others eventually leads to a potentially dangerous discovery. With the help of some unexpected allies, Ryce fights against those bent on forcing New America to become a dictatorship.
"The Witnesses" is a great sequel, well worth its eight-year wait. Author Stephanie Black's easy writing style and superb plot construction make this book one that even the most seasoned reader will find surprising and enjoyable. While the New America introduced in "The Believer" is a country most would cringe at living in, it matures to a nation full of hope and promise by the end of "The Witnesses."
"The Witnesses" is a clean book with no swearing and little romance. Minor violence is portrayed with most of the heart-pounding scenes coming from suspenseful writing.
Black is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Four of her novels have won Whitney Awards for Best Mystery/Suspense. She lives in northern California.
Elizabeth Reid has bachelor degrees in economics and history. She has worked in retail, medical billing, catering, education and business fields. Her favorite occupation is that of wife and mother. Her email is firstname.lastname@example.com.

EPoX 4PCA3+ Canterwood Motherboard Review - FeaturesEPoX are a smaller Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer who have been known for years for their high performing, highly overclockable AMD based motherboards. Does this trend follow over to the Intel side with their newest motherboard, the 4PCA3+ which is based on Intel's high-end Canterwood chipset? Read on as Cameron "Sov" Johnson tells us all about EPoX's newest motherboard and how it stands up to its competition.
Features of the 4PCA3+
- Board and Contents
First off we'll have a look at the box. EPoX has been known for a rather plain box in the past. While being in a plain white color, the designs on the front do make it stick out on a store shelf. While the package is important to catch the buyer's eye, it's most important to back this up with a good product and good contents.
EPoX includes within the box your motherboard within a static bag placed on a foam pack to protect the board and its IC circuits in transit. A user manual for the motherboard, a user manual for the RAID controller, two rounded IDE and a rounded FDD cable, four standard flat IDE cables, USB header bracket and game port header bracket.
- Layout: Praises and Gripes
EPoX built the 4PCA3+ large, and for a good reason. Conforming to normal ATX standards, the width of the board jumps out to 24.5cm. EPoX are known for pretty good placement of the connectors; and the main ATX power and primary IDE connectors are located in a good spot to the right of the DIMM slots.
While I'm not a fan of placing IDE channels on the lower half of the motherboard, at least EPoX places them low enough so they will not interfere with longer video cards.
The famous Port 80 diagnostics card shows its face once more, and what a relief it is that EPoX has not succumbed to the temptation of removing this invaluable tool to save a few dollars. EPoX has also followed a few others on the markets in color-coding their DIMM sockets. EPoX provides two green sockets for Channel A and two black for Channel B. This let you know what DIMM slots to install your memory modules into for Dual Channel operations.
- Chipset
The 4PCA3+ is fitted with a passive aluminum heatsink to cool the MCH Northbridge. Intel 82875P MCH has 1005 solder balls in Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) package. The 82875P Memory Controller Hub supports an 800 MHz system bus, 4GB of DDR400 SDRAM with ECC support providing memory bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s and linked to the Southbridge on Intel Hub Architecture with 266MB/s of bandwidth. It also supports Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) that enhances chipset latencies to improve performance and provides a Communications Streaming Architecture (CSA) Interface that connects the MCH to a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controller.
The Southbridge is Intel 82801ER (ICH5R) with 460 solder balls in Micro Ball Grid Array (MBGA) package. ICH5R integrates an Ultra ATA 100 controller that supports 2x ATA-100 ports, 2x Serial ATA host controllers for 2x 150MB/s SATA ports, one EHCI host controller, and four UHCI host controllers supporting eight external USB 2.0 ports, AC '97 digital controller that can be paired up with a 3rd CODEC like C-Media 9739A to provide 6 Channel Audio, integrated LAN controller, an ASF controller and a hub interface for communication with the MCH.
- Highpoint HPT374 Quad Channel RAID Controller
Since the Southbridge incorporates two Serial ATA ports supporting RAID functions, this allows EPoX to focus more on the IDE RAID users out there as well. After all, most of us out there have IDE RAID systems, from simple 2x 20GB up to 8x 100GB HDD's. EPoX is one company that accommodates these users. The Highpoint HPT374 Quad Channel RAID controller is included. Four IDE ports are provided for up to eight IDE HDD devices. This is a fantastic IDE controller, by far the best of them all in IDE terms.
- Gigabit Ethernet
While the i875P supports the new CSA Gigabit Ethernet interface, EPoX hasn't availed themselves of it. EPoX has elected to used a PCI based Boradcom Gigabit Ethernet controller. This controller has proven to be slower in Gigabit operations but identical in 100mbit tests.
- Overclocking
The EPoX 4PCA3+, like its predecessors, includes all the overclocking options that EPoX are known for, but with some limitations. First off under the Frequency/Voltage control menu you will find all the overclocking options. FSB adjustments are possible from 133MHz up to 455MHz in 1MHz increments. Vcore adjustments are somewhat diminished from what we come to expect from EPoX. VCore can be adjusted from 1.1v up to 1.6v in 0.025v increments. This does limit overclocking to the extreme like Gigabyte, Asus and ABIT boards. DRAM voltage on the other hand is in abundance allowing up to 3.3v.

My friend Dariana tagged along for a day at the beach, but had no idea that voodoo was waiting for her in the ocean with a fake shark fin. Meanwhile she is getting wild and showing off her body in the water when voodoo scares her, and seduces her all at the same time. Once we got back they were ready, cause Dariana had stuffed his dick in her mouth on the car ride home. Her gorgeous ass got spanked, and her tight pussy was too much for Voodoo to handle..... Enjoy.

Plastics play key role in new appliance sustainability standards
WASHINGTON (June 8, 12:35 p.m. ET) — Plastics can play a big role in a new sustainability standard for household refrigerators, according to Wayne Morris, an expert with the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. The standard is based on a lifecycle approach for identifying environmental impacts in energy during use, materials, end-of-life, performance and manufacturing.

August Burns Red Debut New Video for "Internal Cannon"
August Burns Red Debut New Video for "Internal Cannon"
Pennsylvania-based metalcore band August Burns Red have just posted a new music video for their track "Internal Cannon." The song comes from the band's latest album, Leveler, which was released last month on Solid State Records.
You can watch the video for "Internal Cannon" below.
"We shot the 'Internal Cannon' video in the middle of nowhere in New Jersey at an old water pumping station," explains guitarist JB Brubaker. "The video was shot four stories underground at the base of a massive antique water pumping apparatus. There was no way to get down except for a rickety narrow spiral staircase which made loading the equipment very tricky. It was easily the sketchiest load in of our lives. The floor was dirt/mud and I played in bare feet to help portray the grittiness of the location. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is a single clip in the video where you can see my bare feet."
August Burns Red are currently on tour as part of the 2011 Vans Warped Tour.

Wow, I was actually the one who won the auction, I can't believe they were sold for $85 before.
Now you just made me feel like if i've just been ripped off. haha
They just came today and so far I'm really digging them, the comfort is really good and best thing of all is now my ears won't sweat at all with these on. However, they do move quite a lot around my head due to the large cups and low clampling force.
Btw these guy who is selling them just posted another one for sale, he, as the other seller list them as "new" but mine came with the security seal on the top open and the box a little beaten up, apart from that they were in pretty good condition.
Oh, I somehow got a second chance offer but I went straight talking to the seller. And he said can do $125 shipped to Canada. Later said cant do Paypal invoice directly because eBay wouldn't let him. Then he said he will post something and I need to buy right away. I did that and end up had to pay a little extra and for that new stupid third party prepaid import fee. Worked out to be 150 bucks shipped. Still cheaper than the terminator guy's.
I guess that's how some stuff on eBay got sold instantly. By talking to the seller and he posts something and you buy it now right away.
This guy communication is much better. Instant replies.
So I am back in the "waiting" game. Report back with pictures when I receive.
Oh got the o2 and odac. So far sounded the same as the xonar stx. But then again I put stuff on iPhone and cranked volume up and sounded similar. Same detail amount. Guess iPhone 3GS is not that bad. Oh well at least i look cool at work as the only guy with 2 external boxes plugged into a headphone and to computer.
I like the Dolby and 7.1 surround shifter feature on the xonar card. Is there a software to control the odac to have bass boost? Turning on hi-fi mode on the stx will sound same as the o2 and odac. Got it at mayflower. Seems like a honest guy and good communication. Need to spend more time with these.

Someone mentions in this thread about buying pads or being able to buy pads from Sony.
Might be worth reading/searching this thread before jumping in.
I honestly don't see it as an issue, there is so little clamp put on that the earpads should last a long time. They act more as a loose guide to keep the headphones on your ear.
I might buy a pair to have but It is a very minor worry for me.
Oh and someone has used other pads but commented on how they effect the ss negatively. Once again search is your friend.

Hey everyone, after reading alot of positive impressions of the Sony Mdr-ma900, i have decided that these are going to be mine! :p
Also a little influenced by ''Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide'' as it seems to be exactly what i am looking for.
However as i was scouring webshops, i noticed something strange about how the Sony MDR-Ma900 is listed in the few webshops that have it in my country..
They are listed specifically as this: Sony MDR-MA900 B-STOCK.
I havent noticed the mention of ''B-STOCK'' anywhere else.... does the imply anything??? Or is it safe for me to go ahead and order them??
This is my first post on these forums and i'm pretty new to all this so sorry if i'm asking a stupid question ^^;

The Mayor Of Indianapolis Needs To Shut Up
By John Hubbuch
The whole back page of today's Tribune's Business Section is a letter from one Gregory A. Ballard, Mayor of Indianapolis. His letter is addressed "Dear Illinois Business Leaders" and touts the many advantages of Indy to Illinois business leaders who are considering the "large, new state income tax increases" voted in by the Illinois law makers last week.
Hey, Mr. Ballard, mind your own business. First of all, no Illinois business will have to pay the taxes because really crafty tax lawyers who graduated from Northwestern and U of C Law Schools will come up with sneaky ways to avoid the taxes. Indianapolis lawyers come up with ways for brothers to marry sisters.
I don't think Indianapolis even has a Morton's. Just try to find braised pork cheeks with butterscotch sauce served over Tunisian truffles and Damascus figs. Ha! You can get that dish from any number of restaurants in Chicago not even counting our two three-star restaurants. Out of town clients expect something a little nicer than Chick-Fil-A.
We have the Bulls who are famous for Michael Jordan and Derrick Rose. Indy has the Pacers who are most famous for trying to beat up the other team's fans. We have the World Champion Blackhawks. Indy? Oh, they don't have a hockey team. Baseball? We have two teams. Indy? Nada. Why even their vaunted Colts will be watching the Da Bears this weekend.
Chicago has the Chicago Sympony Orchestra. Indy has John Cougar Mellenkamp. Chicago has the Lyric Opera. Indy has the touring show of Le Miz that's coming from Dayton.
People from all over the world come to visit and vacation in Chicago. No one goes on vacation in Indianapolis. Mayor Ballard in his letter touted Indy's "five major interstate highways". That's so drivers can get around and through Indianapolis as fast as possible on their way to Chicago.
I would just caution all "Illinois Business Leaders" to take a long hard look before picking up stakes and moving to a city whose greatest pride is a dumb car race that features 2,000 left turns.
One other note from today's paper. Ron and Michael Reagan are having a brotherly spat over whether Dad had Alzheimer's. In the interest of family unity, can't they just agree that Ron was just stupid? Works for me.

Folks in Indianapolis can spell "symphony," because the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is one of the country's best. Oh, and we do have a Morton's. It's overrated. There are at least three locally-owned steak houses that can do rings around Morton's. One more thing: if your Bears get to the Super Bowl this year, they'll be playing in...Indianapolis. Come on down for it. I'll be happy to show you around.
