There is no accessory more fundamental than a good pair of headphones. They link our ears, privately, to music, media, and entertainment. These days, there is so much content to enjoy that the number of options can be overwhelming. The same is true with the sheer number of headphones on the market. There are so many different kinds available, you might want some help sorting through the possibilities.
In this article, we'll take a look at several different kinds of headphones that suit the needs of different kinds of people. Some will be eye-catching, others will be more low profile. One thing they all have in common is great sound quality. Choose any of the headphones on this list and your ears will be happy.
Sennheiser PX 100-II On-Ear Stereo Headphones
Sennheiser PX 100-II On-Ear Stereo Headphones are slim, lightweight, and simple. They sound great, and they fold up compactly into an included carrying pouch. You probably won't get any compliments on the street for how fashionable they look, so if you prefer to go unnoticed, these are an appealing option. If you want to take calls on an iPhone with your headphones on, you can upgrade to the PX 200-IIi. If active noise cancellation is on your wish list, check out the PXC 250-II. Both of the upgraded versions feature neodymium drivers that deliver even richer sound.

|Cable only dangles from one side
|Not exciting to look at
Koss PortaPro Stereo Headphones
Vintage-style audio has made a huge comeback. Many young people collect vinyl records, and some stores continue to stock music in cassette format. Whether you opt for a portable tape player, rather than the omnipresent smartphone, you can't go wrong with these classic Koss PortaPro Stereo Headphones. Their design dates back to 1984. They have a fun, old-school look, and they deliver fantastic sound quality at a great price. A handy switch on the side lets you adjust the pressure of the earpieces.

Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats2 Wireless Earbuds
If you don't want to be tethered to your music player by audio cables, you need to embrace Bluetooth headphones, and an excellent way to do so is with the Powerbeats2 Wireless Earbuds (available in Black, Flash Blue, Shock Yellow, Siren Red, White, or Red). They feature the sound quality and style that has made Beats a household name, and they repel moisture—great for exercising. An integrated module lets you control playback and talk on the phone. A built-in rechargeable battery provides six hours of use, and they have a 30-foot range.
|Freedom from wires
|Reliant on batteries for operation
|Built-in phone mic + controller
Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones
Many people spend a little extra to get a good smartphone, but what about earbuds? When you're ready to treat yourself to a premium set of in-ear headphones, check out the Bose QuietComfort 20 (available in Black or White). They provide a comfortable fit, excellent sound quality, a mic and remote for Apple devices, and top-notch active noise cancellation. When you need to hear your environment, press the handy "Aware Mode" button, which lets in ambient sounds—so you'll know when your flight is boarding.
|Great sound quality
|Battery-pack module adds heft
|Excellent noise cancellation
Panasonic Ergo-Fit In-Ear Headphones
You don't have to spend big bucks to get a decent pair of headphones, and the Panasonic Ergo-Fit In-Ear Headphones are evidence of this. Available in Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, or White, they deliver surprisingly good sound quality, and feature an iPhone-compatible mic and remote button. If you seek premium materials and exotic drivers, look elsewhere. If you want an affordable set of good-sounding earbuds to replace the ones that came with your device, this is the ticket.
|Good sound at comparatively low price
|Not made with premium materials
|Built-in iPhone mic
|Not top-of-the-line sound quality
KEF M500 On-Ear Headphones
It's not difficult to find stylish headphones, but what about a set that looks great and sounds incredible? If sonic performance and style are of equal importance to you, consider the KEF M500 Hi-Fi On-Ear Headphones (available in Silver, Black, or White). They are extremely comfortable, thanks to their memory foam ear pads and multi-directional SmartFit hinge. The 40mm neodymium drivers deliver a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, enabling you to enjoy full, rich sound. Two flat-style cables are included, one with an Apple mic and remote, and one without.
|Good looks, great sound
|Cushions rest against ears
|Very comfortable to wear
Polsen HCA-12MB Bluetooth Headset
You don't need to pay a premium price to get a good set of Bluetooth headphones, either. The Polsen HCA-12MB Bluetooth Headset provides good sound quality, they're easy to set up, their styling is sleek, and the built-in rechargeable battery provides impressively long run times. A built-in microphone enables you to use your phone while wearing the headphones and integrated buttons let you control your audio. If the battery dies, you can connect to your device with an included detachable audio cable.
|Good-sounding, affordable wireless headphones
|Need to keep battery charged for wireless use
|Fold compactly for travel
|Leatherette cushions rest against ears
Bose SoundTrue Around-Ear Headphones II
If you appreciate the lifelike sound you get from full-sized headphones, and you want to be able to answer and make calls on a smartphone, you should seriously consider Bose SoundTrue Around-Ear Headphones II. With a brand like Bose, you know you're getting exceptional sound and build quality. The performance of these headphones is further enhanced by their superior comfort. Another nice touch is that there are separate models for use with an Apple iPhone (in Charcoal Black or Navy Blue), or for use with Android devices (also in Charcoal Black or Navy Blue).
|Great sound, comfortable
|Doesn't have Bose active noise cancellation
|Specialized models for Apple and Android phones
|Around-ear headphones are large
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Monitor Headphones
Wouldn't it be great to listen to your tunes on professional studio headphones, similar to the ones that the musicians and producers used to make the music you love? This is exactly what you get with the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Monitor Headphones, which are available in Black or White. They come with three detachable cables, two longer ones for use in the studio, and a short cable for your portable device. The sound that their 45mm neodymium drivers reproduce will make you feel like you're with the artist in the recording studio.
|Pro headphones that work well with mobile devices
|Excellent sound quality
|Some people find they fit tightly
Audeze EL-8 Magnetic Planar Headphones
If you want a truly exotic listening experience, look no further than the Audeze EL-8 Magnetic Planar Headphones. They deliver smooth and warm sound, and an exceptionally wide frequency response of 10 Hz – 50 kHz. This is achieved, in part, by their neodymium magnetic planar transducers, which feature a lightweight diaphragm that's suspended within a magnetic plane. These headphones are a pleasure to look at, too. Credit for their industrial design goes to BMW Designworks. You can learn more about these headphones in this B&H hands-on review.
|Lush and immersive sound
|Premium quality, premium price
|Comfortable to wear, aesthetically pleasing
|These are large headphones

No list of great sounding headphones should exclude Grado.
Their low-end models are the best bang-for-the-buck, and their higher-end models sound like heaven!
i can't believe the list doesn't include Sony MDR-7506 studio headphones! They're as good sounding as the Audio Techs and several others on the list, for about $50 less. The fact that they're used by audio pros more than any other headphone for over 20 years demands inclusion on any list of quality cans!!!
Definitely have to agree. I had a pair of the MDR-7506 headphones for at least 7 years. The quality of the audio was fantastic throughout their entire lifespan. I finally tossed them when the cord broke and the ear pads fell apart. I bought a pair of $99 Sennheisers as replacements just to try the brand out and haven't been disappointed yet. Can't remember the exact model. Only complaint with them so far is that the headband is held on by a cheap ziplock type fastener and it broke within 6 months of buying the headphones.

+1. The 7506 is, at the price, the best over-the-ear phones you can buy IMO.
Hi! It's Sam. The author of this post. I am a long-time owner and fan of Sony MDR-7506 headphones. When I chose models to include in this article, I intentionally made the decision not to include them. My intention for this article was to choose an interesting range of different kinds of headphones that the average person could purchase, use, and be happy with. 7506's are great to use in video and audio production, but they're not the best choice for the average person who wants to listen to music and podcasts as they're walking down the street. Why? The cable is far too long. The lengthy coiled section easily gets tangled and bunched up. Plugging a pair of 7506's into a smartphone, then putting that phone in your pocket and walking is not the best experience. For this reason alone, I decided not to include them.
With that out of the way, I would like to say that your criticisms are welcome and encouraged! I like to learn about the models people feel compelled to passionately defend. :)

Genji: Days of the Blade
Fresh hands-on with Sony's PS3 launch game (and crab talk).
But Shubel also took the opportunity to defend the crabs in the game, which were laughed at by many at E3 as being unrealistic, and... well... out of place. "While we get a good giggle out of them, in Japan they do actually exist and according to Japanese legend are spirits," he said. And given that a big part of the Genji series has always been its attention to real historic battles, that's only fitting.
Regardless, it's the gameplay that really matters, and in a new playable version on display at the event, we got to take two characters, Yoshitsune and Benkei, through a sunny river/waterfall setting with the camera zoomed in pretty far. Yoshitsune moves gracefully with quick sword attacks, and almost seems to float from place to place when you have him jump around by moving the right analog stick. Benkei is the typical big brute who carries an even bigger stick and is good at taking out groups of weak enemies with big swipes of his tree-sized weapon.
|See what we mean -- Yoshitsune's movements have him floating all around the environments with some of the most impressive animation we've seen to date. Click the image above to check out all Genji: Days of the Blade screens.
The game's graphics look pretty nice on an HDTV, showing almost a watercolor look in certain areas thanks to the unique shading and colors used. The fact that the environment we saw was filled with a peaceful river and green brush all over didn't hurt to make for an attractive scene either.
As one of the few 100% confirmed PlayStation 3 launch titles at this point, Genji: Days of the Blade looks like it will do a good job in filling the classic beat-'em-up role in the launch lineup, but whether it will be able to do much more than that remains to be seen. Look for it in stores this November.

Florida State opens spring practice in just two weeks, and there are plenty of big questions waiting to be answered. Before Jimbo Fisher gets his chance to weigh in on those discussions, however, we're taking a crack at finding the answers.
First up: Can Jameis Winston manage to eclipse last year's Heisman Trophy-winning numbers in his second season as Florida State's starter?
Jared Shanker says 2014 will be an even bigger year for Winston.
JS: There are certainly several different approaches to how you quantify whether 2014 will be a bigger year for Winston. He scaled college football's toughest peaks in 2013. In just 19 weeks he went from a relative unknown outside of recruiting circles to becoming arguably the face of college football thanks to an unrivaled arm and charming smile. Undoubtedly it will be tough to top everything he did last season: records, a Heisman and a national championship.
But if we are strictly talking about the numbers Winston will accumulate in his second season as the starter, I believe 2014 will be a better season.
A season ago, Winston threw for more than 4,000 yards and tossed 40 touchdowns, but even those numbers fail to accurately portray his 2013 campaign. Florida State dominated nearly every one of its opponents, leading to Fisher pulling Winston in the second half and putting a cap on Winston's yards and touchdowns. Backup quarterbacks Jacob Coker (seven games) and Sean Maguire (eight) appeared in at least half of FSU's games.
Gone are running backs Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr., which could force Fisher to keep the ball in Winston's hands at least through the early portion of 2014. And two of the Seminoles' first three opponents are Oklahoma State and Clemson, which both finished in the top 15 in scoring last season. Those games quickly could turn to shootouts, and remaining on the schedule in the second half of the season is Notre Dame, a Louisville team now led by top offensive mind Bobby Petrino, Miami and Florida.
While Winston will not have as many elite weapons around him, one of the country's best offensive lines will stand guard as Winston drops back and surveys the field. There might not be a single program outside of Alabama that has recruited better than Florida State the last four cycles, too, so there are bound to be a few names to emerge at receiver and running back.
It would be unfair for Winston to have to duplicate everything he did from a season ago in order to have a bigger year. Only Archie Griffin has won the Heisman Trophy twice, but he wasn't coming off a national championship when he went to repeat in 1975.
David Hale says life will get a bit tougher for Winston this time around.
DH: In his first season as Florida State's starter, Winston set school and ACC records for passing, became one of college football's most recognizable stars, endured a massive off-field controversy, won a Heisman trophy and led his team to a national championship that included a final-minute touchdown drive for the victory.
So, really, how much more can he do in 2014?
There's no question Winston is as talented a quarterback as college football has seen in recent years, but the standard he set last season is an awfully high one. It would be nearly impossible for any player to duplicate -- let alone, improve upon -- those numbers, particularly with an even bigger spotlight on him from Day 1. In the past 10 years, four Heisman Trophy QBs returned the next season, and none accounted for more TDs the following year. Matt Leinart, Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel all had impressive enough second acts, but none managed to repeat their Heisman victories.
But more than the struggle to build upon greatness, Winston will be working with far different weapons in 2014. As a redshirt freshman, he was buoyed by Freeman, Wilder, Kelvin Benjamin and Kenny Shaw. All are gone this season, meaning a supporting cast that might not be quite as reliable as what Winston worked with in 2013. Yes, Rashad Greene brings some veteran savvy to the receiving corps, but the rest of the group is young and unproven.
Add in a far tougher schedule than last season, and it figures to be a bit more rocky a road in 2014 than it was in 2013 for Winston. Of course, he's made a habit of proving critics wrong, and with a year of experience now under his belt, it's probably silly to start putting any limits on what Winston might accomplish.

Since I usually arrive at the Pirate Invitational in time for the finals, which is around 2 or 3 p.m., I had no idea how arduous the entire day can be for swimmers. I mean, obviously, it's a long day with prelims starting at 9:30 a.m. and the meet wrapping up at 5 p.m., but even the newly-crowned boys team champion, Christian Brothers, was a tad weary after winning their second title in three years.
CBA coach Vito Chiaravallotti put it in perspective for me.
``From my experience when I was here, this is the toughest part of the season,'' said Chiaravallotti, a high school All-America at Christian Brothers and the 1998 Star-Ledger Swimmer of the Year. ``You just shaved a month ago, you're doing tons of yardage now, you're tired. This is the time you find out how tough you are. This was a seven-hour meet, and a lot of my guys swam seven times in seven hours. It's a tough day, and I think we handled it very well.''
Chiaravallotti called attention to Ryan Dunne, who swam such a schedule and yet answered the call in the final event when he led off the 400-yard freestyle relay with a 49.8.
``We had a number of swims like that,'' Chiravallotti said. ``It's a tough day here, so those times are big.''
Every coach probably has his or her own way of motivating their swimmers. Steve Whittington of St. Joseph's of Metuchen is the leader in the clubhouse at this point this season.
Earlier this winter the Falcons were going through growing pains and knew Whit was reaching his breaking point. When one particular young man finally came through with a 22-second 50 free, he asked if Whittington was happy.
``Yes, I'm so happy, I'll buy you a Happy Meal (from McDonald's) on the way home,'' Whittington said, partly in support but mostly in a tone to shoo the young man away.
And thus a tradition started. But there's a catch. Not only does the fast food reward have to be earned at a championship meet, the swimmer who earns a trip to the Golden Arches must also produce for the entire meet, not just one race.
The penalty for inconsistency: If a swimmer goes downhill after earning the meal, Whittington keeps the toy.
So to you young Falcons: McDonald's currently carries Alvin and the Chipmunks talking figures (so my 7-year-old daughter Catherine tells me), and next week is The Penguins of Madagascar. So if you want to hang on to Alvin, Simon or Theodore, don't let your guard down. Go hard till the end.
Walking into West Windsor South's Bubble felt different, but it wasn't until I chatted with Sandy Grant, mother of Joey Grant, the 2009 Pirate MVP from West Windsor South, did it dawn on me what the difference was.
The Bubble material -- feels like part canvas, part plastic -- was replaced with brand-new material, brand-spanking-white new, and the bottom half of the surrounding material is green to match the school colors. Once it's called to your attention, the difference is appealing to the eye for anyone who has attended this meet over the years, or for that matter, anyone who has been a supporter of Pirate swimming.
The Bubble used to get collapsed and put away so the summer recreation folks could use it as an outdoor pool, Mrs. Grant said. The problem with maintaining the material was that it would build up mold due to moisture when stored away, and it appeared dirty or darker every season when it was reconstructed for the indoor season. Last season it looked beige; today it looked Naval Academy white.
When a referendum on a new covering was passed, West Windsor South got its new Bubble and the structure will remain permanent; it will no longer be collapsed.
The Bubble boasts a six-lane timing scoreboard as well, and once the scoreboard gets hoisted so swimmers on the pool deck are not obstructing the view, this facility will again be one of the finest in the state.
Christian Brothers senior T.J. McCarthy earned the Andrew Wise Memorial Trophy as the Oustanding Swimmer of the meet. Wise was a former West Windsor South swimmer who died of cancer in 2002 at the age of 24. The award was named in Wise's honor in 2003.

CBS (Tues., May 18, 9 p.m. ET)
In a fact-based drama, Gary Cole plays Hearn, a decorated Vietnam vet who places a vaguely worded ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine, billing himself as the World Security Group. He's inundated with calls wanting all manner of clandestine and illegal services, including one from a very seductive lady from Gainesville, Fla. (Marg Helgenberger), with a taste for insurance money.
Soon she's got Cole eating out of her hand and flexing his trigger finger. But not nearly soon enough. The problem with this two-partner, which concludes the following night, is that as Hearn, Cole has to do an awful lot of sweating, hyperventilating and wrestling with his conscience before committing the acts that put his name in the title of a TV movie.
This all makes for a tawdry and needlessly prolonged story. But it does give Helgenberger an opportunity to burn up the tube as a vicious white-trash siren. The supporting cast includes Michael Jeter, Kathleen Wilhoite, Julie Harris, Gregg Henry and Charles Hallahan, who wins the acting trifecta this week: He's also in Wild Palms and gives a forceful performance on Wednesday (May 12) as a New York City police captain on Law & Order. As for our love-addled mercenary...

In my last post I made the point that eliminating waste -- superfluous code, stale pull requests, unused cloud resources -- is a worthwhile investment every engineer should make on a regular basis. It minimizes complexity, which in turn lowers maintenance costs and reduces communication overhead. It also allows you to better focus your thinking and, assuming that you care about your work, makes you feel less guilty.
I promised you to write a follow-up post on strategies that can help to eliminate waste during software development. I stand by my word; here are five things that work great for my team at Jimdo.
These days, at Jimdo, I'm part of a team that is responsible for the next-generation cloud infrastructure serving the 10+ million websites of our customers. Most of the time, we do pair
programming -- a very efficient way to grasp complex topics and communicate about them. This is especially true when legacy systems are involved and your pairing partner (hey, Soenke!) happens to be one of the company's first engineers.
In our pairing sessions we automate, debug, and tune the pieces that make up our infrastructure. We write lots of code and tests. We fix bugs. We try to keep things as simple as possible, while knowing that a certain amount of complexity is necessary for our systems to do anything useful. Of course, we do enjoy creating new things from time to time; we're programmers, after all. On the other hand -- and this is the crucial point -- we also care a lot about doing the opposite:
We love to reduce complexity by getting rid of components that aren't needed. This is a rewarding investment of time -- an investment every developer should make on a regular basis.
A rather simple, but effective and easy-to-setup service discovery (SD) mechanism with near-zero maintenance costs can be build by utilizing the AWS Private Hosted Zone (PHZ) feature. PHZs allows you to connect a Route53 Hosted Zone to a VPC, which in turn means that DNS records in that zone are only visible to attached VPCs.
Before digging deeper in the topic, let's try to find a definition for 'simple service discovery'. I'd say in 99% of the cases service discovery is something like "I am an application called
myapp, please give me (for example) my database and cache endpoints, and service Y which I rely on", so the service consumer and service announcer need to speak a common language,
and we need no manual human interaction. This is at least how Wikipedia defines service discovery protocols:
Service discovery protocols (SDP) are network protocols which allow automatic detection of devices and services offered by these devices on a computer network. Service discovery requires a common language to allow software agents to make use of one another's services without the need for continuous user intervention.
So back to the topic. You might think: Why not use Consul, Etcd, SkyDNS etcpp?
no software is better than no software — rtomayko
You are not done with installing the software. You might need to package, configure, monitor, upgrade and sometimes deeply understand and debug it as well. I for one just simply love it when my service providers are doing this for me (and Route53 has actually a very good uptime SLA, beat that!) and I can concentrate on adding value for my customers.
However, service discovery apps introduce more complexity, magic, and point of failures, so don't use them unless you absolutely need
This is another point. Keeping it simple is hard and an art. I learned the hard way that I should try to avoid more complex tools and processes as long as possible. Once you introduced complexity it's hard to remove it again because you or other people might have built even more complex stuff upon it.
Ok, we are almost done with my 'Total cost of ownership' preaching. Another aspect for me of keeping it simple and lean is to use as much infrastructure as possible from my IaaS provider. For example databases (RDS), caches (ElastiCache), Queues and storage (e.g. S3). Those services usually don't have a native interface to announce their services to Consul, Etcd etc. so one would need to write some glue which takes events from your IaaS provider, filters and then announces changes to the SD cluster.1
Optional rules
As software developers, we spend a lot of our time writing code. Whether we're implementing new features, fixing nasty bugs, or doing boring maintenance work, there's always some code we either create from scratch or try to modify for the better. When writing code, we need confidence in what we do. We need to know whether our changes work as intended. That's why we write tests after or, preferably, before touching any code. So, inevitably, a huge part of our daily work comes down to these two things: programming and testing.
Programming and testing are, of course, only vague terms, and their meaning depends on how exactly you approach software development. For example, when practicing test-driven development (TDD), you typically follow these steps:
Even if you don't practice TDD (you totally should!), you're probably still going to:
In order to write an actual program, you have to run through these steps -- this loop -- again and again. The point is that no matter what development method you prefer, constantly jumping back and forth between programming and testing comes at a price: it doesn't just slow you down in terms of time spent (especially with long-running tests), the involved context switching also drains your mental energy, which might ultimately destroy your productivity. For this reason I believe that the following statement is so important -- and I'm not tired of repeating it whenever I get the chance:
When it comes to programming and testing, fast feedback is everything.
Here, fast feedback means that the time between changing code (or tests) and getting results from running the tests is reduced to a minimum. In other words, you end up with a fast edit-compile-test loop (the compile step is optional, of course). The great thing about this, as Joel Spolsky put it: "the faster the Edit-Compile-Test loop, the more productive you will be".
There are a couple things you can do to shorten the feedback loop. Certainly the first technique that comes to mind is isolated testing, which involves eliminating (slow) external dependencies like databases. This topic has received a lot of attention lately and I won't go into it here (by the way, TDD isn't dead). You should absolutely invest in your tests and make them faster. Besides trying to implement faster tests, however, you can also optimize the way you run them.
At Jimdo, GitHub is a central part of our development workflow. We are using pull-requests to introduce new features or changes. As we deploy our production branch automatically, we have to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled before a pull-request gets merged.
Since Jimdo is available in eight languages, our translators are working hard to enable a native experience for users all around the world. We have switched from plain .po files to PhraseApp several months ago. In order to improve the translation workflow for the developers, we have build a tool that fits our pull-request based on translation process.
The translation process naturally includes lots of people, tools and time. For developers, the translation process might feel odd, as it mostly consists of simple but repeated steps: checking if new keys are needed / used, send the new keys with context, wait for all languages before deploying the change. When we thought about improving the process, we wanted the process to be really simple and easy to use.
As a developer I want to get a notification if I have introduced new translation keys.
I want to be able to deliver them to the translators easily.
I want to get notified if the translations are ready.
Time for another episode of The Jimdo Sessions. A few weeks ago, Robin Böhm visited us in our office in Hamburg. He's well known for having written the first German AngularJS book, which is already successful. At this point, we'd also like to thank him for sending us a copy. It's a great introduction to AngularJS, and if you prefer German books over English ones or you are just curious about what Robin has to share, make sure to check it out.
But enough of this, so we invited him to our office to share his thoughts about the expert levels of AngularJS. Because at Jimdo, we already use AngularJS in the latest parts (we will share
details when we have released that thingy). Of course, we also recorded his talk, so you can also enjoy it now. So here you go:
Wow, it's the 9th Jimdo Session already. We came up with this thing really unintentionally, but everyone liked the format so we decided to keep it. For this edition Alexander Reelsen from
Elasticsearch joined us for a Friday, together with his two colleagues, Britta (Machine Learning expert) und Honza (author of The Python Client).
We met him at the Developers Conference Hamburg 2013 and invited him right away to join us for a Jimdo session, since we are always interested in meeting the people behind the products we
(A first draft of this blog post originally appeared on my personal blog: Wait for It…a Deep Dive in Espresso's Idling Resources)
One of the challenges developers have to face when writing UI tests is waiting for asynchronous computations or I/O operations to be completed. In this post I'll describe how I solved that problem using the Espresso testing framework and a few gotchas I learned. I assume you're already familiar with Espresso, so I won't describe the philosophy behind it but instead I'll just focus on how to solve that problem the Espresso way.

Sun Shade - Fairport Convention
Sun Shade by Fairport Convention
Dying's not easy today
Trying but can't get away
Feel just the almost touch of her hand and the trees in her hair
?Lies float? the sun, she saw only me in the sky
What could be higher than we?
Wind grows cold in the trees
She cries, so hard to please
My restless feet, the rain in the street and her Vanity Fair
Sighs in the eyes of the boarding-house lady who stares
Thinking I care
So, it's a long dusty road
Feelings I shouldn't have showed
Follow me with a sweet bird when I'm ready to fade
Lights like these burn so bright, keep me out of my shade
Wish I could fade
Just see me fade
Just see me fade
Just see me fade
Just see me fade
Just see me fade
See me fade

MP3: Passion Pit Covers Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight"
The year was 1995. Doc Martens, babydoll dresses, and plaid were in, and grunge was the music flavor du jour. Then alternative rockers the Smashing Pumpkins released their double-dosc, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, which would top the Billboard charts and spawn one of their most popular songs to date, "Tonight, Tonight."
Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos has a thing for unexpected covers, a fact to which those who went to the Fillmore show just a few weeks ago can attest. Then, we were all a bit surprised and delighted when he covered the Cranberries' "Dreams." (If you missed it, the band is now now streaming a version on its MySpace page).

During an appearance on Tuesday's episode of the Allegedly podcast, McDonald, 45 said that even though she thinks Handler, 40, is a "good person," she doesn't agree with "how she treats relationships in her life."
"I lived in fear, 100 percent lived in fear," she said. "I enjoyed my time there, I was happy, but I mean something would happen and my heart would be beating and I would be like, 'Is this it?' – you know? And then somehow I just managed to keep surviving."
Handler countered McDonald's claims during an appearance on Tuesday's Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show, where the star said she cut McDonald out of her life years ago when she realized McDonald was selling stories about her to a celebrity gossip magazine. Handler claimed McDonald would sell the stories in exchange for her photograph appearing in print.
Paul Archuleta / FilmMagic
Handler said she continued to employ McDonald after discovering the alleged betrayal because McDonald was good at her job as a writer on the show. But Handler stopped hanging out with her socially.
"I just thought it was a betrayal … I wasn't paranoid, I just withdrew from that whole social scene – I withdrew from her," Handler said. "I wouldn't hang out with her, I wouldn't be alone with her. You know, she's somebody who would love to hear about Jennifer Aniston's house on the weekend. I could never, ever share my personal life with her again."
McDonald also said on Allegedly that she had no idea Lately was ending, and that she only learned about it from Twitter.

Handler countered that "she's a writer on my show, she's not partner."
Handler also said getting betrayed in this manner "is par for the course" when one first becomes famous. She said she wanted to celebrate employees and others around her by taking them on vacation and doing other nice things, but some people soon came to expect such perks.
"You can do so many things before you sell a story about me to a tabloid – or not sell it, exchange it for a f---ing picture of yourself," Handler told Stern. "I'd rather you sold it, at least then you can make some money."
McDonald worked on Chelsea Lately from 2007–2014.
Earlier this month, Handler opened up to PEOPLE about downsizing her circle of friends.
"A lot of my friendships ended this past year – a lot of work relationships and friendships," she said. "You just get older and grow up."
Handler's new talk show Chelsea Does premieres on Netflix Saturday.

The cases are reported of two young children who developed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) within 2 weeks of receiving a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. Neither patient responded to 8 weeks of daily prednisolone.
The first patient presented at 2 years and 9 months of age. Her renal biopsy showed mesangial proliferation. The second child presented with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome at 18 months of age and developed IDDM 2 weeks later. He achieved partial remission with cyclosporine therapy. His initial renal biopsy at 3 years of age showed minimal change disease and follow-up renal biopsy at 5 years of age showed early diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Tests for NPHS2 and WT1 genetic mutations were negative in both patients.
To our knowledge this is the first report of steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome with almost simultaneous onset of IDDM in young children.
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is associated with diabetic nephropathy which occurs in more than 50% of patients with childhood onset IDDM after approximately 12 years of disease.1 Renal presentation of diabetic nephropathy is usually in the form of microalbuminuria and sometimes macroalbuminuria.1 2 Five years after the onset of IDDM in children, early changes in renal haemodynamics are detectable on Doppler sonography without any evidence of renal dysfunction; this suggests a preclinical phase of diabetic nephropathy.3 4
The association between IDDM and steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) with minimal change glomerulopathies has been reported previously in several cases.5–9 However, simultaneous onset of steroid resistance nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and IDDM has been reported in only one case in the literature and was of juvenile onset.8
The authors report the cases of two young children who developed SRNS and IDDM almost simultaneously.
A 3-year-old Saudi girl was diagnosed with SRNS at the age of 2 years and 9 months. She was described by the referring paediatrician as having nephrotic syndrome that developed into IDDM 2 weeks after commencing daily oral prednisolone to treat her nephrotic status. She did not respond to 8 weeks of oral prednisolone (60 mg/m2/day) and was therefore diagnosed with SRNS. She was referred to our institution 4 months after her initial presentation.
At presentation to us her weight was on the 90th centile, her height was on the 5th centile and she had normal blood pressure of 105/75 mm Hg. Her family history was negative for renal disorder, diabetes mellitus and consanguinity.
A 5-year-old Saudi boy was diagnosed with SRNS at the age of 18 months. Similar to the first case, he was initially commenced on daily oral prednisolone (60 mg/m2/day). However, the referring paediatrician reported that 2 weeks after his initial presentation, he developed symptoms of IDDM with polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss. The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was confirmed by a high blood glucose level of 20 mmol/l and 4+ glucose in urine.
The child's first renal biopsy was carried out at the referring institution at the age of 3 years and was compatible with minimal change disease (MCD). The patient received a 12-week course of oral cyclophosphamide and achieved incomplete remission.
He was referred to our institution at the age of 5 years as having SRNS. At presentation to us his weight was on the 25th centile, his height was on the 10th centile and he had normal blood pressure of 85/55 mm Hg. The family history was negative for renal disorder, diabetes mellitus and consanguinity.
Investigations for case 1 showed low serum albumin of 19 g/l, high blood glucose 19 mmol/l, normal serum creatinine 28 µmol/l, high urine protein 1000 mg/l (++) and normal complements: C3 0.77 g/l (0.75–1.65) and C4 0.19 g/l (0.2–0.6). The patient had negative screening for hepatitis B and hepatitis C. She had normal thyroid function tests, coeliac screen of tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A (IgA) 8 units (0–20), complete blood count (CBC), lipid profile, clotting profile and antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA); autoantibodies to islet cells insulin (IAA) and IA–2A protein were not investigated as this service is not available in our centre.
Renal biopsy was performed and submitted for light microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy studies. Under light microscopy the glomeruli showed diffuse expansion of mesangial matrix with normal mesangial cellularity and patent capillary lumina (figure 1A). There was no interstitial inflammation, fibrosis or tubular atrophy and blood vessels were unremarkable.
Immunofluorescence study showed (+1) IgM positivity in the mesangium and focal segmental distribution (figure 1B), but other antibodies and complements were negative.
Electron microscopic examination confirmed the increased mesangial matrix with rare nodules formation; the glomerular basement membrane demonstrated focal thickening and wrinkling. The epithelial foot processes were effaced, but there were no electron dense deposits (figure 1C).
The test for NPHS2 and WT1 genetic mutations was negative.
The family history was negative for renal disorder, diabetes mellitus and consanguinity.
Investigations in case 2 showed mild low serum albumin of 30 g/l, high blood glucose 20 mmol/l, normal serum creatinine 36 µmol/l, significant proteinuria 600 mg/l (+) and normal complements: C3 1.30 g/l (0.75–1.65) and C4 0.22 g/l (0.2–0.6). The child had negative screening for hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Similar to the first case, he had normal thyroid function tests, CBC, lipid profile, clotting profile and coeliac screen of tissue transglutaminase IgA 21 units (0–20). As in the first case, we were unable to measure other immunological markers of IDDM, such as antibodies to GADA, IAA and IA–2A protein, as this service is not available in our centre.
Follow-up renal biopsy carried out at 5 years of age showed diffuse mesangial matrix increase with nodule formation on light and electron microscopy, findings compatible with early diabetic glomerular changes (figure 2A,B,C). There was no evidence of immune complex glomerulonephritis as shown by the negative immunofluoresence and absence of deposits on electron microscopy. These mild mesangial expansion changes were classified as class IIa.10
The test for NPHS2 and WT1 genetic mutations was negative.
The family history was negative for renal disorder, diabetes mellitus and consanguinity.
The patient was commenced on oral cyclophosphamide together with a tapering dose of oral prednisolone and ACE inhibitor. She achieved partial remission after 8 weeks of oral cyclophosphamide. At the end of the course her results revealed normal serum albumin 35 g/l (35–50 g/l) and 1+ proteinuria (300 mg/l). She was followed up for 1 year and continued to be in remission with no or minimal proteinuria (negative or trace).
The patient was commenced on oral cyclosporine (5 mg/kg/day in two divided doses) together with a tapering dose of oral prednisolone on alternate days and ACE inhibitor. There was minimal improvement as his last results showed low serum albumin 37 g/l (35–45 g/l) and normal serum creatinine 40 µmol/l. His urine became negative to proteinuria as well as to microalbuminuria. He was followed up for 1 year and continued to be in remission.
The diabetes mellitus was difficult to control as most of the time the patient had hyperglycaemia (>20 mmol/l), 4+ glycosuria, low serum C-peptide 0.023 nmol/l (0.37–1.47) and elevated haemoglobin (Hb) A1c 10–12% (normal 4–6%). She required a high insulin dose (around 1.3 IU/kg/day mixtard). However, despite the poor control of her diabetes mellitus, she never experienced diabetic ketoacidosis.
The diabetes mellitus was difficult to control as most of the time the patient had a high blood glucose level (>20 mmol/l), 4+ glycosuria, low serum C-peptide 0.109 nmol/l (0.37–1.47 nmol/l) and elevated HbA1c 10–12% (4–6%). He required a high insulin dose (around 1.4 IU/kg/day mixtard). However, he never developed diabetic ketoacidosis.
The authors report the cases of two young children with almost simultaneous onset of SRNS and IDDM in early childhood. This could not be explained by diabetic microangiopathy as it usually takes several years to develop.1 2 Furthermore, both children initially presented with nephrotic syndrome and 2 weeks after commencing prednisolone, they were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. There have been reports in adults of rare cases of glomerulopathies that are not diabetic nephropathies in the early phases of IDDM but rather immune complex glomerulonephritis such as IgA nephropathy and C1q nephropathy, which are often associated with significant proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome resistant to immune-suppressor treatment.11 12 However, renal biopsies in our cases did not show immune complex glomerulonephritis.
There are several reports in the literature of SSNS coexisting with IDDM in children,5–9 but in none of the reports was treatment influenced by renal biopsy results which all showed MCD.5–9 However, daily steroid tapering was suggested in preference to alternate day steroids to allow better glycaemic control. Therefore, the indications for renal biopsy in nephrotic children with and without IDDM were suggested to be similar.13
Similarly, SSNS with MCD was reported in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.14 It was accompanied by mild worsening of renal function. Steroid treatment induced complete remission of the nephrotic syndrome and recovery to normal renal function. The reported patient experienced two relapses, but was sensitive to steroid14 and eventually achieved persistent remission after a course of chlorambucil.
Interestingly, in a report of two young women who developed nephrotic syndrome within 2 weeks of presenting with IDDM, neither received steroids; in one of them the oedema resolved spontaneously while the other required diuretics.15 One of these patients had a renal biopsy which showed changes consistent with MCD on electron microscopy but no evidence of diabetic glomerulosclerosis.
The occurrence of MCD causing SSNS is rarely seen in IDDM patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome. Furthermore, in a search for an explanation of the coexistence of MCD in IDDM patients, the pathogenesis was linked to the shared human leucocyte antigen (HLA) typing in both IDDM and renal disease.5 6 16 In our cases we did not test for HLA typing, however, our patients were negative for the genetic mutations underlying SRNS (podocin NPHS2 and WT1). The coexistence of the two diseases may be due to chance but could perhaps be caused by as yet undiscovered underlying genetic predisposing factors.
Our patients' pathology initially showed MCD but both had SRNS. It is generally accepted that SRNS is usually caused by non-MCD and is mostly due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).17 In our cases the diagnosis of FSGS was not made on the first biopsies and so could have been missed or not present at all. The follow-up biopsy in the second case demonstrated more prominent glomerular changes which were consistent with class IIa diabetic nephropathy according to the 2010 classification of diabetic nephropathy of the Research Committee of the Renal Pathology Society.10
It is important to distinguish changes arising from diabetic nephropathy from other primary glomerular diseases developing on top of diabetic nephropathy in situations such as the second biopsy of case 2 where the changes were similar to early features of FSGS. It could not be distinguished at this stage whether the glomerular sclerotic lesions were caused by idiopathic FSGS or diabetic nephropathy.18
In another case series, a patient with juvenile onset IDDM presented with SRNS and associated mild diabetic glomerulosclerosis, and later developed Grave's disease.8 The association between IDDM and thyroid disease could be explained by an immunomediated underlying disease. Both of our cases had normal thyroid function tests. However, they did not have long duration of follow-up.
The observed poor control of diabetes mellitus in our two patients could be attributed to corticosteroid therapy. In both patients steroid treatment was accompanied by hyperglycaemia and glycosuria but not academia or ketonuria. However, the diagnosis of IDDM was confirmed as the diabetes did not resolve after tapering prednisolone therapy.
As mentioned earlier, diabetic microangiopathy was unlikely in our cases at presentation, although diabetes causes mostly glomerular disease. IDDM is associated with progressive increase in urinary albumin excretion to a nephrotic range proteinuria over 5–12 years, followed by hypertension and a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after a mean duration of 17 years of diabetes in patients at risk. The pathological lesions of diffuse glomerular sclerosis or nodular intercapillary glomerular sclerosis are typically seen in biopsies from patients with advanced diabetic nephropathy. There is a close correlation between the expansion of the glomerular mesangium and the declining filtration surface area, as well as the declining GFR in affected patients.19 Inadequate glycaemic control during the first 5 years of diabetes seems to accelerate time to occurrence, whereas a young age at diabetes onset seems to prolong the time to the development of microvascular complications.1 Therefore, the occurrence of nephrotic syndrome at presentation in both patients could not be explained by IDDM. However, in the second case the presence of proteinuria could have accelerated the appearance of early diabetic changes which was controlled by the immune suppression and ACE inhibitor used for the nephrotic status.

Product Description
From Amazon
Gridlinked is the talented Neal Asher's first full-length SF novel, an accomplished rapid-action thriller crammed with high technology, obsessed characters, and the glittering boys' toys of advanced weaponry.
Cormac is a legendary Earth Central Security agent, the James Bond of a wealthy future where "runcible" transmitters allow interstellar travel in an eye blink. Unfortunately Cormac is nearly burnt out, "gridlinked" to the AI net so long that his humanity has drained away. He has to take the cold turkey cure and shake his addiction to instant online access, even while investigating the unique runcible disaster that's wiped out the entire human colony on planet Samarkand in a 30 megaton explosion ...
Hot on Cormac's heels is vengeful terrorist Pelter, backed up by his unstoppable, psychotic android killer "Mr Crane" and a goon squad of mercenaries. Other trouble has been brewing since 27 years earlier, when Cormac was humanity's ambassador to a vast, incomprehensible alien that called itself Dragon. Deep beneath Samarkand's surface there are buried mysteries, fiercely guarded. And is it true that Cormac's enigmatic boss is an immortal who's lived half a millennium and was born in the 20th century?
Asher's galaxy is full of colour and sleaze, and his story rattles along at speed. There are surprises, double-crosses, elaborate lies to be seen through, astonishing escapes from certain death, and last-minute reversals. Though the ultimate fates of the lesser villains seem mildly anticlimactic, the true bad guy is dealt with in spectacular style. Sequels are hinted. Fast-moving, edge-of-the-seat entertainment. --David Langford --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
"Gritty. Now, there's a word you don't often hear in connection with science fiction -- more's the pity. If all novels could employ this atmosphere as well as Gridlinked does, I could wish that all authors followed Neal Asher's lead. Then again, this unique style is all Asher's; it's highly doubtful that a copy would be as deeply satisfying. . . .And he leaves you eager for more. . . . Is it too early in 2001 to be thinking of a top-ten list? Not with a novel this impressive."-SF site.
"I couldn't put it down. I even ended up reading it twice. Highly recommended."—i
"Neal Asher makes the move to the big league with Gridlinked . . . [a] fast-moving and enjoyable tale."—Starburst magazine

Many interesting ideas were introduced and Asher's 'Polity' promises to be a great backdrop for many future novels - likewise the main character Ian Cormac is interesting and complex enough to star in many more adventures. For me there were two things that kept it from scoring higher than 3 stars. What follows will not spoil the plot if you have yet to read the novel - however if you would rather dive in without knowing what to expect (like I do)I'd skip the rest of this review, and just buy the book - it is well worth the read.
Firstly, the theme of Cormac being separated from the grid was never fully explored later in the book. I would have liked to see this continued throughout the novel. Asher seems to forget about it half way through and focuses on Cormac as "action hero" rather than "social misfit with no humanity". Pity.
Secondly, there are 2 main plotlines and 1 tiny one which never really crossover in a way that makes sense. The revenge theme just wraps up too easily for my tastes and never connects with The Maker storyline as I hoped it would. The Stanton story ended very poorly and added nothing to the novel for me - a real shame since Stanton was a great character - I was hoping for some real interaction between him and Cormac more than just the "why choose a life of crime" conversation they have that lasts for thirty seconds.
In the end though I thought this book was quite good and I will definitely read his other novels. I would sum up his style as half way between the noir-action of Richard Morgan (Altered Carbon) and the space opera of Alistair Reynolds (Revelation Space) - both great British Sci-Fi writers who I would choose over Asher, but then again why waffle? Just read all three and don't forget to read Iain M. Banks' culture novels as well while you're at it!
-- Ryan Buckley
Asher seems overly enamored of twenty-dollar words when five-dollar ones would suffice. I don't believe hard sci-fi needs to be so obdurate in its word choices - he sometimes uses obscure or almost archaic English in places. While some might excuse this of him as he is British, I've spent enough time in the UK with British intellectuals to know this isn't a universal trait.
Overall, this was an enjoyable enough summer sci-fi read that I also have consumed his other books, but I don't think he's yet on par with his peers, such as Richard Morgan. All the same, I will keep reading his works.
Ian Cormac-our hero who can best be described 25th century James Bond who is burned out from years of being linked to his AI in missions. Cormac lastest mission he must find the cause of destruction of runcibles which resulted in death of thousands of people. Cormac's got two problems in this case: one is mysterious and possible deadly alien construct called the Dragon who has something to do with the runcible tragedy and the other is brutal psychopathic interstellar terrorist by the name of Arian Pelter who is after Cormac for killing his sister in his last mission! Pelter is aided by terrifying and nearly unstoppable android called Mr. Crane!Gridlinked is awesome space opera that combines hard science with james bondian action sequences between humans, cyborgs and assasins!Asher's world-building skills are wonderful! his Heroes and villians are three-dimensional.I look forward to Asher's next book!
Neal Asher's science is also good. The Runcible mode of transport seems much in line with the recent discovery of black holes at the centre of galaxies (and Asher has been writing about Runcible technology for quite a while). Where Neal Asher has always seemed strongest is in his creation of biological entities - mycelium and pseudopods are real science. However, Gridlinked has also finally revealed that Asher does have quite a whimsical tone. It's a delight to finally discover that the Polity's mode of transport was named after the runcible spoon in Edward Lear's nonsense rhyme 'The Owl and the Pussycat'.Read more ›

Today I Started Loving You Again Lyrics
Artist: Hank Locklin
Album: Softly
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by with only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you...
Yes today I started loving you again

On Friday 19th November the Wildcats Community Team have set themselves a challenge of raising £500 for Children In Need as they walk around the City of Wakefield with their Mascot Daddy Cool. They will be asking the generous people of Wakefield to donate £1 to have their picture taken with Daddy Cool as he dresses up in aid of the charity which made its first appeal for help back in 1927.
BBC Children in Need is the BBC's UK corporate charity. The annual telethon is one of the highs of the BBC calendar and plenty of activity takes place all across the UK around this time to help raise those crucial pennies to help improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. However, Pudsey is busy all year round helping to make sure the money you raise goes to those who need it the most. In July 2010, Wakefield Wildcats Community Trust was awarded a grant for £100,000 by Children in Need for a project entitled Give it a TRY, Aim High.
The team and Daddy Cool will begin their walk from Outwood, and will be hopping on and off buses to visit other areas of the city as they make their way back to Daddy Cools home at Belle Vue Stadium. They hope to cover a lot of miles as they will be starting at 8:30am and continuing until dark.
Projects Manager Sarah Robinson said " We hope that all local businesses won't mind us nipping in for a couple of minutes on the 19th November so that they can join in the effort and donate whatever they can to have their picture taken with everyones favourite mascot Daddy Cool.
Community Trust Manager Davide Longo said "The funding we have received from Chidren In Need really is going to help a lot of children in our area, and we hope that we can raise as much money as possible on Friday 19th so we can give something back a charity which does do some outstanding work"
You can donate to the Children in Need collection for the Community team on their very own Just Giving page by following this link: http://www.justgiving.com/Wildcats-Community-Team
