It came! The time finally came to go see Joss Whedon's The Avengers in theaters!! I'd like to emphasize Joss Whedon because you could totally see his flavor all over this movie, which made it even more better than I had imagined in my head.
I knew Joss directed The Avengers but I didn't know (although I should have assumed) he also co-wrote the script! Not that I had any doubt but that just ensured this movie was going to be beyond brilliantly fantastic.
*For people who need the obvious warning: SPOILER ALERT*
So we all the know the story: Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), of S.H.I.E.L.D., brings the team of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) together to take down Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his army. Yes I know, what about Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)? Well I wasn't expecting this but for like the first half of the movie, he's under Loki's mind control. He finally snaps out of it after Black Widow kick's his ass a bit and knocks him unconscious.
We've seen Nick Fury talk about the Avengers Initiative but it was deactivated until Loki comes through a portal powered by the Tesseract and attacks S.H.I.E.L.D., taking Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) with him, under Loki's mind control. Now Fury wants to bring the team together so he sends Agent Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner, and Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) to New York to have Tony Stark review Selvig's research. Fury goes to Steve Rogers (Captain America) himself. We see Loki is working with an alien conqueror, the Other, who wants the Tesseract and offers Loki an army in exchange.
One of the things that I really loved about this movie is that they showed these characters struggling to come together as a team. When Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow apprehend Loki, thunder and lightning start in the sky as they're all flying back to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Thor arrives to take Loki. Obviously he's pissed at his brother but wants to deal with it himself, so he takes Loki away to argue with him but of course, Iron Man goes after him right away and shortly after, Captain America follows. Iron Man and Thor get into this amazing fight. Flying around, kicking each other's asses until the Captain shows up to stop them and they finally bring Loki in. These are superheroes who are used to being the only ones. They've never worked with other superheroes, they've just been fighting the bad guys by themselves so it makes sense that they'd butt heads when they first meet each other. When we first see the Hulk emerge, he goes after Black Widow and she's trying to get away from him and Thor shows up to help. And then the Hulk and Thor get into this great fight (and also have a pretty fabulous moment later).
Another awesome thing was how you could see all the previous movies tie into this one. The Tesseract is in Iron Man 2, when Tony Stark is reading his father (Howard Stark)'s, notes; we see it briefly at the end of Thor when Nick Fury brings the box to Erik Selvig, who is controlled by Loki at the time, and asks what it is, to which Fury replies "unlimited power." And it plays a huge part in Captain America: The First Avenger, with Johann Schmidt, the main bad guy of that movie, who captures the cube to harness its powers but the Captain stops him and in doing so, has to crash-land his plane into an iceberg, thus freezing himself for the next 70+ years. And Howard Stark is the one who recovered it but didn't think much about it, mostly worrying about Captain America.
In true Joss Whedon form, it takes a sudden death of a beloved member of S.H.I.E.L.D. to finally have these characters come together as a team. The Avengers rally in New York to stop Loki, who has opened the portal to let his alien army enter through, on top of Stark tower. Banner reveals his secret – which is badassery at its finest – and they all are fighting off as many aliens as they can. They save the day of course, and Thor takes Loki and the Tesseract back to Asgard, as the rest of the Avengers go their separate ways.
I also have to point out that I liked Eric Bana as the Hulk in Hulk, not so much though did I think Edward Norton was the right guy for him in The Incredible Hulk (but I still liked the movie) but Mark Ruffalo!! Wow, he was – by far – the best Hulk!! He was perfect as Dr. Bruce Banner and his Hulk was my absolute favorite.
This movie was so awesome!! Like I said before, way beyond my expectations, which were already pretty high. There was so much action, from start to finish. And so much humor! More than I thought there was going to be. But again, I should've known because it was in the hands of the wonderfully wicked man, Joss Whedon. And Joss is boss.

When you need to call in the big guns, you call on a jacked Brett Favre.
That's exactly what Thad Cochran, one of Mississippi's incumbent United States Senators, did before a runoff with fellow Republican Chris McDaniel next week. In those parts, there aren't many forward passes that can match having Favre star in your political ad.
In a cross between one of Favre's Wrangler jeans commercials and your typical TV election spot, you hear the former NFL superstar's grizzled voice stumping for Cochran. More important, see his Joe Plumber meets lumberjack persona sitting on a golf cart. Will it help save Cochran's seat? Find out on June 24.
You might recall Favre's most recent viral video: The 44-year-old's equally jacked preview of the 2014 draft early last month.

I didn't watch all of either NFL game -- Minnesota 19, Washington 16 . . . or San Diego 27, Oakland 0 -- on Monday night, but I saw enough of both. And although I could go on and on, I'll limit my observations to these three:
(1) We're only one week into the season, and already Joe Theismann -- the chatty ESPN analyst -- has exhausted me with his inanities. No one is this man's equal at using more words to say less about nothing. I found myself wishing I was wearing a hearing aid so I could turn it off.
Now, to anoint one of Joe's observations as having a greater "duh" quotient than another is, indeed, a difficult task. Which of the Cheerios in the box is rounder than the next? But when Mark Brunell led his Washington Redskins onto the field with less than a minute to play, with no timeouts and trailing 19-16, Theismann outdid himself by telling us viewers that it was imperative that Brunell manage the time well.
Ah, do ya think?
(2) Those who are not of the opinion that the San Diego Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson is the best all-round running back in the league haven't been paying attention.
Monday's affair with the Raiders -- during which Tomlinson rushed for 131 yards (on 31 carries) and caught three passes (for 18 yards) -- was his 80th regular-season NFL game . . . and in the 79 that had preceded it, he averaged 26 rushes/receptions and 124 yards per contest. Assuming good health and the staying of the course, he�ll cross the 10,000-yard barrier next week -- in the second game of his sixth pro season.
That's production, folks. And durability. And all from a young man who seems to be a model citizen. As Kenny Bania, the "Seinfeld" character, might say, "LT is the best, Jerry. The best."
(3) In a game with a lot of bad rules, perhaps the worst of football's dopey ones was on display late in the Vikings-Redskins scrum when a Washington receiver caught a pass but was unable to get both of his feet down before being cleanly knocked out of bounds by a Minnesota defender.
Still, the play was deemed a completion on the idea that the receiver WOULD have come down in bounds if not for the defender's involvement. How foolish is that? I mean, the running back WOULD have scored a touchdown if the defender hadn't tackled him, right? The quarterback WOULD have completed his pass if the defender hadn't sacked him, right? The kicker WOULD have made that field goal if the defender hadn't blocked it, right?
Well? Help me out here. The receiver didn�t come down in bounds with the ball because the defender, playing exquisite defense, prevented him from doing so . . . but the receiver gets credit for a reception, anyway? And nobody has a problem with this?
Earth to Football: Huh?

Windermere Police officers were the first to respond to the scene that was "spitting distance" from the golfer's home in the gated community of Islesworth, Fla., according to Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor.
"When they got there, he was laying in the street," Saylor told PEOPLE. "His wife had broken out the back window with a golf club to get into the vehicle and pull him out."
Saylor did not know how Nordegren managed to pull her husband out, but she was determined to do so. "She used two golf clubs," Saylor says. "She bent one and used another one."
Woods, 33, first hit a fire hydrant and then smashed into a tree, according to two Windermere patrolmen who arrived first at the scene.
"When they got there, they noticed he had lacerations to his lower and upper lip and blood in his mouth and he was in and out of consciousness," Saylor says.
Officers Jason Sipos and Brandon McDonnell treated Woods before the ambulance arrived. McDonnell is a paramedic and began administering first aid. They worked on Woods for 10 to 15 minutes before the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the ambulance arrived, the chief adds.
"They were holding him down because he kept trying to get up and he kept going in and out of consciousness," Saylor says. "They held his head stable for him and basically made sure he didn't move."
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash, which took place outside Woods's home. No charges have been filed at this time. It remains unclear what Woods was doing out at that hour.
Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn told PEOPLE on Friday afternoon that Woods had been treated and released from Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, just outside of Orlando and Islesworth.
Bruhn called the injuries "minor."

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength that predisposes a person to an increased risk for fracture (1). Bone strength is determined by properties that include bone mineral density (BMD), bone geometry (size and shape of bone), degree of mineralization, microarchitecture, and bone turnover. It is a common disease with serious clinical consequences. In the United States, about 44 million people have osteoporosis or osteopenia (low bone mass) that could lead to low-trauma fractures. About 50% of white women and 20% of men will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetimes. Fractures of the hip and spine may be disabling and are associated with mortality rates that are about 20% greater than that of an age-matched population. A fragility fracture (i.e., a nontraumatic fracture or one that occurs with low trauma, such as a fall from the standing position) of any type is a sentinel event that increases the risk for future fractures. To reduce the burden of osteoporotic fractures, high-risk patients must be identified, evaluated for factors contributing to skeletal fragility, and treated to reduce fracture risk. Pharmacologic agents can reduce the risk for fracture in appropriately selected patients, with a generally favorable safety profile.

During the 1920s, Buchheister painted in a geometric, abstract style, influenced by Constructivism. With the rise of Nazism, his avant-garde approach was seen as reflecting seditious foreign influences, and he was condemned as a degenerate artist, and forbidden to continue painting. He began to make art again after the war, now following the more gestural style seen in these works.

Clearly, Europe and the U.S. have different regulatory philosophies. Europe emphasizes the precautionary principle which maintains that a chemical should not be marketed unless it has been shown to be safe. American chemical producers are of the opinion that the precautionary principle, while portraying an image of motherhood and apple pie, is naive. Determining risk based upon the inherent toxic properties of a chemical is unrealistic, they say, it is actual exposure that matters.An analogy is commonly used to support this view. A tiger is inherently dangerous, but meeting one in the wild presents a different risk from seeing one in a zoo. There may be inherent toxicity to a particular chemical but if you use it under certain conditions, the exposure is minimal and presents no risk. True enough. But Europeans would retort that even in a zoo, a tiger can reach out and inflict injury, or perhaps, even escape. And there may be gentler animals that can replace tigers in zoos, perhaps even without needing to be caged.Phthalates, are an interesting case in point. Rodent trials have shown interference with androgen function, and a human study made a big splash with its finding that women who had higher blood levels of phthalates gave birth to male babies with a reduced distance between the anus and the genitals, seemingly a consequence of hormonal disruption. European regulators have concluded that it is therefore better to err on the side of safety, and have removed questionable phthalates from children's toys. U.S producers claim that feeding phthalates to rats is not the same as playing with toys, and that phthalate syndrome is a rat, not a human syndrome. But the fact is that toys have not disappeared from European stores. Alternative and apparently safer plasticizers, such as 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester, have been developed.There are numerous other cases of chemicals commonly used in the U.S but not allowed in European products, apparently without compromising efficacy or availability. How can the same scientific data lead to such different conclusions? It is a matter of interpretation. Americans want conclusive data before acting, while for Europeans, the possibility of harm is enough to bring about regulation, as long as safer replacement products are available. This means that Americans are buying products that would not be legal in Europe, or in instances, in China. Canada is also leaning towards the European model and under The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), is now reassessing the safety of many chemical substances that were introduced before comprehensive environmental protection laws were created. But no matter what, safety can never be guaranteed. It always comes down to a risk benefit analysis.

that sorta sucks to hear. i should be getting my component cables any day and I was looking forward to lots of madden in progressive scan.
I am having the same problem as well....its soo annoying
Here is another response from EA:
Thank you for contacting EASPORTS Customer Support.
I do apologize for the difficulties you are experiencing with Madden NFL 07 for your Nintendo Wii gaming console. If you use aftermarket component cables you may experience thin bars on the sides. The component cables are trying to process better quality imaging and as a result shrinks the picture. Do you get these black bars with the standard component cables that came stock with the Wii? Please let me know so I may further assist you. I apologize for any inconveniences.
Thank you for contacting EASPORTS Customer Support!

I get them with the stock composite cables and the aftermarket component cables that I use. His answer is crap. I wrote them back and told them to first understand the Wii platform as I also got the adjust to 720p answer. There is no 720p setting moron!
Yes, both of those answers from EA demonstrate a lack of understanding of the Wii and resolutions at play here. There is no opportunity for 480p to cause a squeezing issue vs. 480i because its the exact same information. 480i just alternates the lines displayed per frame while 480p displays them all at once resulting in a smoother picture.
Ultimately the graphics issues with Madden have more to do with the game than the Wii. My Wii is hooked up via component video to a Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector with a 120" screen and the graphics on Madden fall far short of Zelda. I expect companies will continue to improve the graphics to maximize the capabilities of the console as happens on all new consoles.

I haven't tried my Madden 07 yet on my HDTV. I'll try it tonight and let you guys know how it goes.
Here is another response I just recieved from EA tech support:
Thank you for contacting EASPORTS Customer Support.
Unfortunately, this was how the game was designed. In researching your issue, we also have the thin bars on our HDTV here at our location. We were unable to find settings that would fix the issue however, we were unsuccessful. I do apologize for any inconveniences.

That's a lot of accolades for one building, but the SHoP Architects-designed tower at 111 West 57th Street is looking to sweep the supertall competition. Originally planned to rise 1,397 feet, the tower will now soar to 1,421 feet, surpassing 432 Park Avenue (the current tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere) by 24 feet, according to city records uncovered by Crain's. It will also retain its title as the world's slenderest tower.

A new world record was broken just this week in Hungary, Budapest when LEGO architects placed the finishing Rubik's Cube ornament on the top of the massive Lego skyscraper. Reaching 34.76 meters (114 feet), the tower was officially registered with the Guinness book of World Records as well as the LEGO Store in Budapest on May 25.

Once complete the tower will be the world's tallest, beating current record holder the 828m-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Client Jeddah Economic Company has not yet confirmed the exact height of the tower, but has indicated it will be over 1km tall. In December, contractor Saudi Bauer completed piling work for the tower, including sinking 270 piles up to a depth of 110m.

China is home to 60 of the world's 100 tallest buildings now under construction. But the skyward aspirations of Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, have inspired incredulity tinged with hostility. [...] the project's scale and speed have set off a burst of national introspection in recent days about whether Chinese municipal leaders and developers have gone too far in their increasingly manic reach for the skies.

Yin Zhi, head of Beijing Tsinghua Urban Design Institute, said, "The technique that Broad Group uses has no precedent in the world, and the cost they promised is very low. So they either have some record breaking techniques or it's a lie. They are gambling. If they win, they will change the history of world architecture, but that's one chance in a million."

 In China's Hunan province, ground was broken for the next "world's tallest skyscraper". It was a brave ambition. The developer Broad Group planned to build an 838 meter tower with 202 stories, in just 10 months. The tower would surpass the current tallest skyscraper, Dubai's Burj Khalifa by 10 meters. But the project has been halted over questions concerning feasibility and government permission.

Dubai ceremony marks inauguration of world's highest twisted tower. Saudi developer Cayan inaugurated late Monday the opening of the 73-story, one-thousand-and-seventeen-foot (310-meter) tall Cayan Tower in Dubai's prestigious Marina district.

 Inspired by the structure of human DNA, each floor of the 272-million-U.S.-dollar (1 billion-Dirham) tower is rotated by one-point-two degrees to achieve the full 90-degree spiral, creating the shape of a helix.

 Dignitaries from diplomatic corps and Corporate Dubai joined the celebrations which closed in a gigantic fireworks display across Dubai's new tower and the Marina night-skyline.

 The emirate of Dubai also harbors the world's tallest hotel, the near one-thousand-two-hundred- foot (354.7-meter) tall J.W. Marriott Marquis.

 There's also the world's tallest residential tower, the Princess Tower reaching over one-thousand-three-hundred-feet (414 meters), a five-minute walk away from the twisted tower.

 Cayan Projects, estimated to be worth around 2.7 billion dollars (10-billion Saudi riyal) cover a wide spectrum of developments from exclusive residential to commercial projects.

Debate rages over whether the 125m spire counts as part of the building. Do you know your antenna from your radome?

 "This definitely raises questions," said Kevin Brass, the public affairs manager for the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, the body that passes official judgment on such things as whether your erection is tall, supertall or megatall. "Our criteria are very specific. We include spires and not antennas. If this is an antenna, it won't be part of the height measurement. The cladding was an integral part of the design and made the extension part of the permanent look and feel of the building."

Construction crews at the World Trade Center hoisted a flag-bedecked spire to the top of the site's signature One World Trade Center building Thursday. Workers raised the spire to a temporary work platform atop the structure's roof, where ironworkers can later permanently attach it. When fully installed, One World Trade Center will stand a symbolic 1,776 feet high, making it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. The 408-foot spire will serve as a broadcast antenna.

While becoming the tallest in architectural terms will always garner attention, taller building often harbour some of the lengthiest development periods. With a rise in the prominence of prefabrication, however, large is no longer necessarily equated with lengthy.

A towering beacon of pink mirrored glass has overtaken the Shard to become the tallest building in Europe. Moscow's Mercury City tower, which topped out on Thursday, now rises to 339m, making it 29m taller than London's own crystalline pyramid. The building joins a motley cluster in the emerging Moscow International Business Centre, a $12bn complex initiated by former mayor Yuri Luzhkov as a playground for rival oligarchs to demonstrate their penile might.

A 1,070-foot tower that will become the largest skyscraper on the West Coast received its final approvals from the Planning Commission on Thursday.

 Clarke also showed the Planning Commission the actual metal and glass that will be used on the exterior of the building. He explained that the skin of the building has been augmented to add metalwork that will grow deeper and denser at the bottom of the tower. Clarke said adding the metal to the glass exterior will give the building a light texture that will glow in an ambient way.

 The metalwork also was used to make the building safer for birds and to help control the flow of water down the structure.

 Some people speaking about the project decried the tower as being too large and criticized its design.

It took Dubai more than five years to build the 828-meter Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building (for the moment, anyway). But Chinese architects and engineers reckon they need a mere 90 days to leave the Emiratis in the dust. At least, that's what they've claimed.

 BSB is renowned for its eye-opening construction efficiency. Its portfolio includes assembling a 15-story building in six days in June 2010, and erecting a 30-story hotel in 360 hours in December 2011.

 The key to achieving such stunning speed is an innovative construction technique developed by BSB.

 Most of the company's buildings are pieced together with prefabricated components from its factory. In this case, 95 percent of Sky City will be completed before breaking ground.

 BSB explained to Xinhua that its goal of building Sky City is not to erect a new landmark in China, but to develop and put into use a "medium-cost, super-saving utility building and to promote a futuristic urban lifestyle."

Builders will use the machine to complete the spire of the Shard skyscraper near London Bridge in south London. When fully extended the crane will sit at 317 metres or 1,040 ft above ground level, making it seven metres taller than the building's eventual highest point (310 metres). The Shard will become the tallest building in the European Union and the 45th tallest in the world when it is completed in 2012.

 CHICAGO, June 21, 2011—Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture is pleased to announce that it has won an international competition to design Wuhan Greenland Center, which at 606 meters (1,988 feet) will likely be China's third-tallest building, and the fourth tallest in the world, when completed in about five years. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer in Wuhan near the meeting of the Yangtze and Han rivers.

 A project of the Shanghai-based Greenland Group, the 119-level Wuhan Greenland Center will be comprised of about 300,000 square meters of floor area, including about 200,000 sm of offices, 50,000 sm of luxury apartments and condominiums, a 45,000 sm five-star hotel, and a 5,000 sm, 27-meter-tall private club with spectacular views at the tower's penthouse level.

Atlas Copco Construction Tools has unveiled six new hydraulic compactor attachments powered for carriers with an operating weight between one and 40 tonnes.
"The integrated flow rate and pressure control protects these units from overload, particularly if compactors are used on different carriers," said Atlas Copco's spokesman.
According to the spokesman, a key feature of the compactors is the housing attachment offset at 15 degrees – aimed to improve force distribution on the vibrator plate while minimising the stress and wear on the compactor.
The compactor attachments are suitable for compacting trenches, ground soil and embankments and for driving in and pulling out form work, posts and sheet piling," added the spokesman.
ACCT is a division within Atlas Copco´s Construction and Mining Technique business area. It develops, manufactures and markets equipment for rock drilling, demolition, compaction, recycling and concrete applications.

Section 4 − Although the scrolls were written more than 2,000 years ago, they differ very little from one another and from the traditional Hebrew text in use today. "None of these variations affects the scriptural message itself," notes Dead Sea Scrolls scholar Geza Vermes.

Notice they stayed away from how the nation of Israel are now a spiritual nation? Nothing on the 144,000 or fds. They will laugh their faces off when they see gods name with the letter J instead of Y. Or where they quote Matthew 5:17,18. How Jesus came to fulfill the Law(to make rich) and NOT to destroy the Law. For truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or one particle of a letter pass away from the Law.
Has heaven and earth passed away yet? NO! So obviously the Law or any letter of it would not pass away. Why would it? It came from Yehovah. The Law was perfect. It was man that distorted it and it was Yeshuah who had to come to teach it over again. And once again he will have to come to teach it. Last warning to all of mankind. This magasine is an insult and a joke.
When I asked for a copy of it the elders said it wasn't for everyone at the DC. I asked why and they said there was a shortage and they were told it would be online if we wanted one. That didn't make sense. Did any of you who went to the DC recieve your own personal copy?
Re: 2013 How Can You Have a Happy Life?
Written by unhappy old men running a Corporation based on a delusion, struggleing against reality, desparate for the inihilation of 99.9% of the human spacies. How ironic is that?
Why was there a shortage of copies at the DC? Are they printing far fewer of the convention releases and limiting who gets a copy?
Something is very wrong if that is the case.
Brochures cost about 10 cents to print. They could not print enough copies for everyoone?
label licker
That's what I was told by the elders. This brochure wasn't meant to be handed out to everyone at the Dc since there was a shortage. He said to see a copy of it we had to download it off the internet. I wouldn't want one now after reading it. Society thinks they are a know it all on every religion out there. WBTS haven't a clue on their own beliefs, how could they possibly know anything about the other persons beliefs?????
Bunch of dimwits!!!!!!!!
Narcissistic dictators have never stood out for their equal treatment of others.
I'm curious, all of my relatives (except for my jw brother) are Jewish. I'd like to have a copy of it. This is the second time they have produced a brochure speciffically for Jewish readers.
My relatives would not read anything published by a Christian organization but I'd like to have a copy.
I guess it will be available for congregations to request copies in October.

No doubt the society are hiding their stereotyping personalities behind their mags. Go after those that have money and businesses now. Who cares if it could kill some like back in the day. All in the name of love and god! They truly are showing what they are.

I just bought PGX shure headworn vocal system for another musical project I'm starting........no it's not a britney spears tribute band.........................
Since the mic is about 2 inches from my mouth and a condensor, it has a proximity effect that makes it sound boomy.
I of course cut out some of the bass on the remote and it seemed to clean up.
I was just wondering if this is the best way to get rid of the proximity effect? Should I only be cutting the bass or some of the mids and highs as well.
I realize it's tottaly different mic, but I'd like to get it smooth and natural sounding like my Sennhiesrer 945e.........I would have bought the Sennhiser headset but it was about 150 more and didn't even come with a carrying case like the shure.
Hi Ric,
Some microphone manufactures have tackled proximity effect by either including an EQ circuit within the microphone or by specific design of the capsule. If proximity effect reduction or elimination is not part of a microphone's design then the use of EQ control or microphone technique are basically the only options. I guess surgery to ones vocal cords could be considered as a third option as Dan Cornett has suggested in another tread
Try different presets with the EQ flat. Once you find a preset you prefer then tweak the EQ. If plosives are an issue I recall reading in another thread that positioning the microphone against the lips helps tame the problem with headset microphones as well. Of course varying the distance between the microphone and the mouth will affect the tone.
Hope this helps

Surgery? Heck no lol. I'm done going under the knife. Problem isn't with my voice. I guess you'd say it's a slight bass boost which makes the mic a bit boomy because of the closeness to the mic capsule which can't be helped.
I'm just so used to the transparancy of my 945e even when I'm right on top of it.
Thanks for the tip on the presets though. Since getting my 945e I've always gone flat and forgot all about them.
O ya, what is the, "list," that I should try positioning the capsule against.
Oops... That would be lips. I sometimes have a finger lisp when I type.

Designed by architect Chung Nguyen, the elegant styrofoam-and-piano-wire sculpture was a salute to food — and thus, to the gala's honoree OKRA, the Organized Kollaboration on Restaurant Affairs.
The dinner's standouts included Korean braised goat with dumplings, created by Underbelly chef Christ Shepherd; and iced cookies provided by Paulie's.
More than 900 people attended the gala, held at the Hilton Americas. Auction highlights included artworks inspired by each OKRA restaurant. The dinner and auction raised $520,000.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Meetings in Washington, Birmingham and New York were held over the past three days as Jefferson County looks to bridge a $350 million gap in a bankruptcy exit plan before a Nov. 4 deadline, AL.com has learned.
In Washington, Congressman Spencer Bachus, the Republican who represents the 6th District of Alabama, spoke to leaders of the Birmingham Business Alliance Wednesday about his request for the EPA to give the county leeway to make sewer system improvements.
"This flexibility would help the county with its financial situation and that would ultimately help ratepayers," said Bachus, chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law. "This is a complex issue that will not be resolved quickly, but it is important that there be a dialogue between the agency and the county."In Birmingham, EPA and Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) met at the law firm of Bradley Arant Boult and Cummings to discuss the county's request to extend or delay making some of the improvements.
Higher sewer capital costs; higher than expected interest rates, and lower revenues have all contributed to a $350 million gap in the county's plan of adjustment.
About $150 million is needed in the third phase of the county's capital improvement program by 2022 and the county would like to delay or extend those payments, according to participants.
That delay in capital improvements could reduce the amount needed to make the county's plan of adjustment work.
However, getting an answer from the EPA before the Nov. 4 deadline seems unlikely, but that delay could help the county in possible future financings.
Meanwhile, in New York Commission President David Carrington, Commissioner Jimmie Stephens and lawyers continued to meet with sewer creditors seeking creditor concessions to fill the hole in an amended bankruptcy exit plan.
The county gave creditors until Nov. 4 to fill the hole in the amended plan or have the plan withdrawn.
Developments could be announced as soon as next week.

Essential Cocktail-Mixing Skills for the Home Bar
Cocktail hour at home doesn't have to mean a glass of Merlot or a bottle of beer. Bring some next-level mixology (yes, we said "mixology") to your domestic game with our guide to choice gear, pro techniques, and new-school ingredientsThe Boulevardier (Credit: Danny Kim)
Herb Slap
When a bartender smacks a sprig of mint–or any leafy herb–between his palms to garnish a highball, the impact releases aromatic oils in the leaves for a more fragrant and flavorful cocktail.
Dry Shaking
The key to foamy egg white cocktails such as a Ramos Gin Fizz (click for recipe & video) is a hard shake–a vigorous 25 seconds should do it–before you add ice to the shaker; then shake again. This gives you a pillowy texture.
Twist and Rub
Instead of just dropping that strip of citrus zest in your Sazerac (click for recipe), pinch it between your thumb and forefinger to spritz the surface, then run it around the outer rim of your glass for extra zing when you sip.
Often wasted on party shots, it's a bona fide way to layer flavors. A quarter-ounce of dry red wine poured over the back of a bar spoon on top of a Whiskey Sour will change the way you taste a familiar cocktail.

We appreciate the recent article by the Victoria Infant Collaborative Group1 and the editorial by Dr Msall2 voicing concern about underestimation of developmental delay by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development–III (Bayley-III).
The Bayley Manual3 provides information about the Flynn effect, as mentioned in the Victorian Study.1(p355) The Bayley-III manual sample of 102 children gives the average Mental Developmental Index (MDI) of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development–II (BSID-II) to be 93.9 and the Bayley-III Cognitive and Language Composite Scores (CSs) to be 102 and 99.7, respectively.3 The latter CS differences from the MDI are 8.1 and 5.8 points, with corresponding correlations of 0.60 and 0.71.3(p77) Overall, Bayley-III CSs are 7 points higher than those of the BSID-II, and thus show a reverse Flynn effect.

ABC, creator Cherry agree to finish series at end of season
ABC is taking its last trip down Wisteria Lane.
Sources indicate network president Paul Lee and creator Marc Cherry have agreed to end the show in May, at the conclusion of the 2011-12 season and the show's seventh. Official announcement will come at the Alphabet's Television Critics Assn. confab Sunday.
Cherry has long wanted a firm end date for the highly profitable series ever since he saw Alphabet showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse get one on "Lost," but former ABC topper Steve McPherson was vehemently opposed. Now, however, with Lee in charge, Cherry will get his wish and craft storylines to a fitting conclusion.
There has been no specific talk of a spinoff series featuring any of the characters, but that always remains a possibility for fall 2012.
"Desperate Housewives," since its launch in 2004, has been a huge cash cow for ABC and is also a major hit overseas. The actresses from the show who have remained throughout the run — Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria — have also seen their careers blossom.
"Housewives" was a phenomenon when it first began in September 2004 and, along with freshman series "Lost" and midseason hospital drama "Grey's Anatomy," helped pull ABC out of a terrible slump at that time.
In its first season, "Housewives" drew a 10.4 rating/23 share in the 18-49 demo and 23.6 million viewers overall. It was the third highest-rated show that season, behind only the Tuesday and Wednesday installments of "American Idol."
Fast forward to 2010-11 and the most recent season of "Housewives" averaged a 3.9/9 in the demo and 11.8 million viewers. While those numbers are a far cry from the early years, with the fragmentation of viewership and a much larger increase in DVR usage, it remained a top 20 show in the demo.

While not all their characters appear in J.R.R. Tolkien's famous novel, Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies were a chance for some of the key actors to return to roles they clearly relished while making the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Among the cast who headed back to the New Zealand shoot were Ian McKellen as the wizard Gandalf, Cate Blanchett as the ethereal Galadriel, Hugo Weaving as the wise Elrond, Elijah Wood as the brave hobbit Frodo and Andy Serkis as the dark, troubled Gollum.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Trailer
A curious Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a vigorous group of Dwarves to reclaim a treasure stolen from them by the dragon Smaug.
But it was the casting of Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit who joins 13 dwarves on a dangerous adventure to reclaim their kingdom, that caused Jackson the most grief. So much so that, after being convinced Martin Freeman was the perfect choice, he decided to break up the Hobbit shoot so the English actor best-known for The Office and Love Actually could work around filming the second season of the TV series Sherlock.
In Wellington for the world premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a grateful Freeman says that one of the best experiences making the movie was the people he met.
''In a story, after all, that is about loyalty and friendship and those kind of issues, it was really nice to meet people who do become your real friends,'' he says. ''It was lovely. Pete is one of them.''
For Serkis, the new Middle-earth trilogy was a chance to get more involved behind the scenes as second-unit director. ''I think one of the reasons that [Jackson] wanted me to be there was because I'd been through the whole Middle-earth experience before and he knew that I'd been wanting to direct for a long time,'' he says.
Serkis, who also joined Jackson on King Kong, playing both the giant ape in performance capture and the ship's cook, has previously directed video games and the short film Snake. On The Hobbit, he particularly enjoyed working with the dwarves.
Among them, Richard Armitage (Captain America) plays the fearless dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield, James Nesbitt (Match Point) is the endearing Bofur and Sydney-based Kiwi Stephen Hunter (All Saints) is the ever-hungry Bombur.
''We had a great time,'' Serkis says. ''The early sequences particularly, when they were trying to discover their characters in Bag End particularly, they turned into a bunch of frat boys.''
Gollum, of course, is an especially memorable character from The Lord of the Rings, with his conflicted mutterings and desperate craving for the precious ring. Serkis says it did not take long to get back into character.
''It's never really been that far away, I have to say,'' he says.
''But I suppose the first day it's like kind of doing a weird impersonation because so many people on a regular basis do impersonations of Gollum. ''

Robert Downey Jr. made a surprise appearance at the Hero Complex Film Festival in Hollywood on Sunday, where he dished about 'Iron Man 3' and working with Joss Whedon and Mark Ruffalo on 'The Avengers.'
He and Jon Favreau talked about helping out new-to-the-franchise 'Iron Man' director Shane Black, who directed Downey in 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,' and negotiating Favreau's perks as a mere actor: "I want a love scene with Pepper Potts with my shirt on, and I want to transform into The Freak," insisted Favreau.
They also addressed the difficulties of making 'Iron Man 3' in a post-'Avengers' world, when Tony Stark will be back to solo crime fighting, without the aid of the rest of the comic book team. "What are you gonna say? 'They all just lost their cell phones and you can't get help?' So it's going to take a lot of ingenuity to make it make sense to a mainstream film audience as well as a comic book audience," said Favreau.
Downey Jr. and Favreau riffed on Black's involvement and Favreau's demands:
Favreau: If The Freak isn't in it, I'm not doing it. If Happy Hogan doesn't turn into The Freak, I'm not doing it. Here's what happens to Happy Hogan, he marries Pepper Potts ... [Gwyneth Paltrow's character].
Downey Jr: Wait a minute, you want both?
Favreau: I want a love scene with Pepper Potts with my shirt on and I want to transform into The Freak.Downey Jr: ... So what I can say about this kind of circle-of-life thing is Shane, as he's getting into the process [to direct 'Iron Man 3'] and getting his sea legs and stuff, he goes, 'When can we talk to Jon?' So there's going to be this kind of conglomerate of efforts.
Favreau: And I love the franchise and I'm a big fan of Shane's as well, so hopefully I can be helpful because I want to see this thing grow and transform. And actually, when it finally landed on Shane, it was like, 'All right, that's gonna be something interesting.'
Downey Jr. But again the toughest man of 'Iron Man 3' will be Jon Favreau's day rate. It's gonna be huge and I'll see that they pay it.
The actor also talked about 'The Avengers,' which is six weeks into its shoot, with Joss Whedon at the helm:
Well, I hate everybody. I'm not talking about the cast, I'm not talking about Joss. What I mean is I tend to look at a scene and say 'This is absolutely impossible, we can't shoot this, it's horrible. I can tell you 10 other movies it's been in, I refuse.' I usually start off the morning by refusing to do what I've signed on to do ... I just thought, How are you gonna put all of us clowns together? He's wearing a suit, he's all jacked up, he's so and so, and poor Mark Ruffalo, he's gonna outdo us. And we're about six weeks in, and I have to say Joss Whedon is nailing it. He's so smart and so good. And it's gonna be great. I can't believe I just said it. I never could've believed this, but it's gonna be great."Do you think Shane Black will do 'Iron Man 3' justice? Will 'The Avengers' live up to expectations?

Lawyers for Diana Ross insist that the Supreme diva has already met her requirement to spend 24 consecutive hours in jail on a drunken-driving charge, and therefore she should not be forced to return to Arizona to re-serve the sentence.
"I think we have proof," one of Ross's Tucson lawyers, Jim Nesci, tells the Associated Press. "She documented it in her diary."
As reported last week, the Arizona judge who sentenced the 59-year-old Ross to 48 hours behind bars for driving under the influence isn't happy with how his order was carried out -- and now he wants her to go back to jail.
Rather than serving her sentence in Arizona, Ross, 59, arranged for her jail time to be in Greenwich, Conn., where she lives.
But after looking into her incarceration, Tucson City Court Magistrate T. Jay Cranshaw discovered that in true star fashion, Ross left and returned to the Greenwich jail a number of times over three days, the Arizona Daily Star newspaper reported.
Under Arizona law, such an open-door policy does not constitute jail time, as DUI defendants have to spend at least 24 consecutive hours in custody.
In seeking an accounting of how Ross served her time, Cranshaw reportedly was informed that her first and longest stretch came on Monday, Feb. 9, when she checked into the Greenwich Police Department at 5:30 p.m. and remained until about 4 p.m. the next day -- a 22-2/3-hour visit by the Daily Star's tally.
She then returned Tuesday at about 6 p.m. and left again at 8:30 p.m., this time a 2-2/3-hour stretch, which was followed up the next day, Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 8 a.m., at which time she stayed put for 22 hours -- until 6 a.m. Thursday.
But Nesci claims that the Greenwich police just didn't count the hours properly, says AP. The lawyer added that he might interview the female officer who sat in with Ross during her final stretch.

We featured Paul on the blog last year, with his series of painstakingly rendered wrecked car drawings; this time around he presents a series of planes, trains and motorhomes produced from photographs taken on a research trip throughout California and Arizona.

Set your xbox one's power mode to energy saving instead of the default instant on and it will allow the system to fully shut down when you turn off the system instead of staying in a standby based off state. This will let the ram boot up clean and wont have this issue. You can reenable instant on mode once you reboot with energy saving mode. But ive found it best to atleast turn off ur xbox with energy saving on atleast once a week to let it do a full startup.
Camped out at Best Buy (Dec. 17-18th 2005) 5th in line for 18 hours. Got a Premium! Warranty's Are nice!
I noticed my dashboard/desktop was moving sluggish after I had that "Out of Memory 27" problem with Call of Duty and as Xenokai suggested, using Energy-saving mode restored the smooth transitions of the dashboard and haven't had the Out of Memory 27 issue for a while as long as I do a full shut down every so often. In the end, it is still an issue with Call of Duty leaking memory or the Xbox one Tri-Os sucking up too much memory.

Auburn, NY -- The Auburn school budget was defeated by three votes, according to school officials' count this morning.
School officials also rechecked voting machine totals from Tuesday night and this did not change the outcome -- the budget was defeated, 1,411 votes yes to 1,414 votes no.
A total of 3,091 people voted, but 266 people did not cast a vote on the budget. Seven people who voted by affidavit could not be counted because they were not registered to vote.
Affidavit ballots are those from people who showed up to vote at the incorrect polling places. There also were absentee ballots cast in the Auburn election. The board is meeting at 5:30 p.m. today and may discuss what they will do next.
The board will vote on its next move at its May 27 meeting.
All votes -- absentees, affidavits and machines -- were counted as of Wednesday morning as of 10:50 a.m. The final total was 1,411 yes to 1,414 no on the $66.5 million budget.
The recount is not changing the outcome of the school board election. Incumbents David Lansford and Charlie Cator and newcomer Karol Soules won the three open board seats.
Superintendent Joseph D. Pabis said he thinks the budget failed because residents thought they were voting on the synthetic turf issue. The vote on whether to install turf at Holland Stadium is scheduled for June 26
The 63 affidavits that were turned in were cross referenced with election registrations
Wednesday morning. Rita Drake, election supervisor, and poll clerks Jeanne Jakaub and Patty
Festa, checked all the affidavits and then rechecked the absentee ballots cast by epople who were out of town or couldn't come to a polling place.
District clerk Lori Feeney went with Bob Krause, the voting machine mechanic, to recheck all the vote totals in the voting machines at Casey Park, Owasco and Seward elementaries and at East and West middle schools.
After all votes -- absentees, affidavits and machines -- were counted and recounted Wednesday morning, the final total was 1,411 yes to 1,414 no on the $66.5 million budget.
The other perplexing part of the Auburn budget vote is trying to figure out why 266 people who either voted in the machine or by absentee or affidavit didn't cast a vote on the budget.
If only four of these folks had voted in favor of the budget, it would have passed (a tie vote counts as a defeat).
Pabis said the ballot in the voting machines and on the absentees and affidavits "was relatively simple." He said the budget proposition was at the top with a yes or no, and below that was the
list of six names of board candidates.

This product relieves the congestion quickly and with no side effects. It has prevented a sinus infection! I highly recommend it.
Seems to have worked.

I got these when hit with ear ringing which developed when I caught a bad cold. After a few days, the ringing went away. I can't say for sure if this helped, but it sure wasn't going away quickly without meds. I am not into homeopathy, but the herbal ingredients can't harm .

NFL games are about matchups and the Washington Redskins have one that doesn't work in their favor when they take on the Giants on Sunday.
The Redskins' weakest unit is their offensive line. New York is loaded with talent on its defensive line. Some mismatches spell trouble. This one potentially spells disaster.
It did in 2008. The Redskins mustered just seven points in each of their two games against the Giants last year. The low point total wasn't due to mistakes or bad luck or turnovers. New York simply dominated the line. Clinton Portis had nowhere to run; Jason Campbell had no time to throw.
And that Giants D-line did not have Osi Umenyiora, who was out for the season with a knee injury, or Chris Canty, who was playing for the Dallas Cowboys before coming over as a free agent.
Last year it didn't seem like Jim Zorn adjusted to the Giants' DL dominance. It looked like he was figuring that if he ignored it, it would go away.
It's difficult and usually futile but you can try quick passes, traps, screens and an occasional deep pass with maximum protection. We didn't see much of that last year and the Redskins really never had a chance in either game.
This doesn't mean that all is lost for the visitors. Even though the Giants have a strong offensive line they could struggle to score. The Redskins' defensive backfield against the Giants' receivers is a good matchup for Washington. Until someone emerges as a genuine threat to replace the departed Plaxico Burress Eli Manning will have difficulty finding someone to throw to.
The Redskins' defensive line will be put to the test. The key to stopping Brandon Jacobs is to get him moving sideways. If he's allowed to get up a head of steam into the second level defensive backs end up getting posterized.
I'll make my prediction later in the week. The good news is that the Redskins will face such an OL-DL mismatch just a few times this year but they're going to have to figure a way around it if they want to steal that most precious of regular-season NFL prizes, a division road win.
