All girls dream of a perfect wedding and of wearing a dream dress that is just jaw-dropping-ly gorgeous. We chart out the most common mistakes women make when they go wedding dress shopping.
Read on.
1. Bridal shopping with a group.
Just because your wedding dress is literally the most important dress you'll wear, it does not mean you travel to the salons with an entourage in tow. This results in mixed opinions and confusion. From well-meaning advice to badly disguised snarky comments, you will have it all and not know what to do.
All you need is your mother and a sister or your best friend or two to make the right decision. Honest suggestions should be your priority when choosing wedding dress shopping companions.
2. Shopping much before the big do.
The first thing that strikes you when you think of your wedding is your wedding dress. But that doesn't imply that you shop way too early for it. This comes with a host of problems – you love a dress but can't buy it yet and you feel frustrated, you love a dress but can't buy it yet because you haven't decided on the theme of the wedding plus decor and bridesmaids' outfits colours and many more things that you need to consider before booking your wedding gown.
Wait at least till you set the date and then go dress shopping.
3. Trying on a zillion wedding gowns.
The more dresses you try, the more confusing it gets and in the end some brides just get overwhelmed and are not able to make a sound decision even when they find 'the one' dress. To avoid all the overwhelm, simply try on 7-10 dresses at max and don't forget your exact preferences like perhaps princess style wedding gowns when you finalize one.

Writing apps for Firefox OS phones
Improving Life
If you run this game, your first complaint will pertain to the efficiency of the program. The program works well with small cultures, but it slows to a crawl as soon as the number of cells grows. I have likely overlooked ways of making GoL more efficient and the JavaScript more optimal. Feel free to give the code a bash by downloading it [11] and playing with it.
The second problem is usability. This app is screaming for a zoom function in edit mode. Even when the cells are 2x2 blocks on the canvas, they are tiny. No fat (or even thin) fingers will be able to place a cell accurately on the playing field without a stylus. Again, feel free to make your own changes and improvements.
Although the GoL app is far from perfect, it shows how easy it is create an app for the Firefox OS mobile platform and illustrates some of the ways you can implement the assets Mozilla makes available.
If you already develop web apps using HTML5, you're basically done. If not, HTML, CSS3, and jQuery are well-documented and relatively easy technologies to master, so you should be able to begin creating your apps in no time.

Alcemi: Why is architecture such a passion for you and how did you set out to convey this in the novel?
We moved around a lot when I was little, so I was used to spending time figuring out how best to organise my things, sometimes in a huge room, sometimes in a small one; wondering whether to sleep by the window or by the wall... It's what we all do, and discovering the best use of the space you're in and how best to accommodate yourself and whoever else you live with is really quite an adventure. Above and beyond that, I suppose I draw a lot on my experiences living variously in Kenya, China and Japan – and the sheer excitement of seeing very different kinds of architecture close up, and different ways of living, of viewing space and how to inhabit it – all of these experiences in various ways have fed my passion for architecture.
Later on in Japan and then back in the UK my journalism and non-fiction pursuits led eventually to ghost writing on architecture in Japan, in Germany and the UK; and to keeping notebooks on my travels, jotting down observations about the ways different cultures live, what people seem to benefit from in order to achieve some kind of psychological or spiritual ease in the way they live, and what makes good sense in terms of physical comfort and managing the available space, light and temperature conditions.
So what I set out to do in the novel was to work alongside a character who doesn't seem to know what might suit them best, and allow them to explore their sense of self in order to figure out how to determine what they need and how to work towards this place that might be called home. In order to make it exciting, and partly because of my own fascination for contemporary architecture, I decided to set it in the world of the star architect. Why not? It was a crazy amount of work for me, lectures, interviews, study, but I loved every minute of it. At one stage I even gate-crashed a very elite party in order to meet Daniel Libeskind. But I have to say, it was worth it. And eventually, star architects, a competition, exciting new building materials and the fantasy of the perfect dwelling all seemed like good and wholesome ingredients.
A: Why did you decide to include letters in your novel?
JJ: Letters! Don't you just love getting real mail? With all the social networking, web mail shenanigans, doesn't a handwritten letter feel like the most precious thing to receive? For me it does, and having lived such a nomadic existence myself I am fortunate in having a few wonderful friends who still keep up the 'real mail' end of things. I think that letter writing is a great skill, and one we don't want to lose. In Japan letter writing is still highly regarded as a talent (though I imagine its popularity has waned as much as it has everywhere), and putting together a considerate and balanced piece of writing is quite an art.
In terms of the novel, I realised that 'the letter' would enable the characters to speak in a more formal and possibly more elegant tone at times, and in a form of address that wouldn't work at all in straightforward dialogue. I knew there was a lot I could do with this – no small part being that it can vary levels of intimacy between characters and between characters and the reader. The letters could also happily facilitate how some characters get to know one another and could accommodate my desire for them to meet or delay them meeting. And best not forget that the art of writing also has its romantic implications... I will say no more....
A: I have heard that architects tend to be immensely egotistical. How does your novel explore this area?
JJ: Ah yes, I've heard that too [laughing] – and the idea of the big ego is wonderful terrain for an author! I suppose I visit this in several ways, most obviously perhaps in the character of Alessandro, who despite his brilliance and sophistication, displays a truly dismissive arrogance at times, often operating in terms of stereotypes, particularly of women, and never being entirely accurate about where anyone comes from.
But such ego, while it is easy to see the downside, is also a fabulous area in terms of exploring the personalities in society that are sometimes the most passionate and oftentimes the most dedicated to their work. So I think the novel, alongside its dealings with the personal and private landscapes of the architects' lives and how their self-obsession impacts on those closest to them, also delves into their passions, inspirations, and their drive with regard to their own projects, personal philosophies and how these affect their work. I guess what's common to each of the architects is an unflinching desire to design well, and so Perfect Architect is largely about artistic obsession, what motivates the architects, how they deal with things that get in the way, and who they need alongside them in order to have these ambitious projects realised. So you get to see big egos with big desires and ambitions taking on the 'little house'.
A: How does Tom the postman's story fit into the scheme of things?
JJ: Tom's own story is a counterpoint to the exotic and often extraordinary lives of the architects in the novel. Tom and his family hopefully offer up a contrasting social and economic perspective and a different dynamic. Tom and Cara's relationship, coupled with their individual acts of mischief, also add in a measure of humour – though I hope some of the architects themselves will earn a few warm chuckles of their own. It's hard to guess at – but if a few smiles are raised that will be a great.
In terms of how Tom's story fits in, it is woven into, or at least, laid gently under the main thrust of the novel which is Gaia Ore's decisions as to how she will map out her life following the death of her star architect husband.
The reason for making Tom a postman (a raised-in-the-US postman) is in no small part a homage to the figure of the postman in the modern American novel, and I believe both William Faulkner and Charles Bukowski as well as being great writers were actually mailmen themselves along the way. Hurrah to the delivery folk of the world, to parcels and real mail, for where would be without them?
A: Tell me about the novel's varied settings
JJ: People are so mobile these days, and I wanted to reflect that, so you have a whole mix of nationalities – people born in one place, studying in another and then often continuing to move about from place to place, from country to country for work, love, inspiration, for safety. I find that all fascinating, and it's always interesting to see how different places and cultures influence one another; and since the novel is centred around a creative process, it was ideal to draw on a cast of international characters and settings. Why not? Let's take it to Spain, Italy, the US... and be influenced by the Far East or the 'near to home'....
A: Latest film?
JJ: I've just seen Buster Keaton in The Cameraman –possibly the funniest film I've ever seen, genius!
JJ: I don't have an Ipod, but if I did... maybe Gogol Bordello's Super Taranta; Aretha Franklin; and an album called Pomegranates, recommended by a good friend; it's a fab collection of Persian pop, funk and folk from the 60s and 70s.
A: Three famous people who impress you (contemporary or historical)
JJ: Zaha Hadid, George Eliot, Edith Piaf...
A: Best place to work when things get tough
JJ: Does anyone work when things get tough? Better batten down the hatches until things ease up.
A: Current bedtime read –
JJ: Kafka

We LOVE this show!!! It's different, very interesting and very suspenseful!!! That one hour goes by too quickly! However, we have just been informed (by a cast member, who will remain anonymous) that this show has NOT been picked up for the new Fall Season 2006-2007. We must do everything we can to prevent this from happening!!! Contact Ex. Producer, Timothy Marks!! I will provide contact info. has soon as I get it! Please pass this on..................it would be ashame to let this show be gone forever! We have WAY too many CSI's and Law and Order. Invasion breaks up the monotony and provides a new and different kind of show that appeals to so many of us!!!
I'm mad!! ABC please rethink this dumb move to cancel Invasion. It is one of the most clever, cool and mysterious shows on right now. I wonder why the massive Lost fans hasn't taken on Invasion , heck it comes on right after Lost on Weds nights. I i'm guessing it was losing out to CSI NY or Law Order but I don't think thats much competition anyway. I don't know what it is with sci-fi shows and their relatively short life on network TV. At the very least this show would work excellently on the Sc-Fi network on cable & satellite. Please, some one start a website and demand more INVASION!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its weird how nearly all the sci-fi shows that came on last fall are all gone. Surface, the show that was on CBS and now Invasion. ABC needs to give Invasion more time. It has a nice cast led by Fitchner.
'Invasion' is not a traditional sci-fi show with aliens, monsters and
lazer guns. It is a drama of two families, built on top of an allegoric
plot, that of bad (and good) parenting. You can completely replace the
"alien" part of the show with a "disease" and still make sense out of
Truth told, Invasion is not well received by all viewers, mostly because viewers expect to really "get" Invasion just by watching a few episodes here and there. Big mistake. To truly understand and enjoy the show, you have to sit down week after week and watch all episodes in order. Failure to do so will result in confusion on the viewer's part.
Another problem with the show --which is now fixed-- is that the first 5-6 episodes that were setting up the huge storyline arc, were slow. Viewers were driven off Invasion because of that (even myself at some early point I had to push myself to sit down and watch it), but thankfully, the pace is now much faster and Invasion starts getting back that viewership. Especially after episode 9, the show has been captivating and keeps the viewer at the edge of his/her seat. Really!
Fichtner is doing an excellent job as the creepy sheriff who is both good and bad. Sheriff's assistant, Deputy Lewis Sirk (played by ultra-convincing Nathan Baesel), has emerged as a great character too in the later episodes. The rest of the cast delivers pretty well too.
I'm not sure what show Charles Hall was watching but it wasn't Invasion. This is purely eerie, original television. Each twist and turn of the plot takes you to places you weren't expecting but are eager to follow. The writing, acting and entire production are first-rate and refreshing. The reviews out there (including magazines such as Entertainment Weekly) agree with me. The problem with this show isn't the show, its cast, crew or anything other than the network. The "powers that be" at the network have done an abysmal job promoting it and keep yanking it from the line-up every time it gets momentum going. So just as fans are getting into the story and are anticipating the next week, they are disappointed with either a rerun or another show that they did not want to see. ABC needs to give the show a real chance. If they did, they would be pleasantly surprised at the audience it would build.
After watching the pilot for this new show I have come to the
conclusion that it is at least worth a look. The show has a good and
almost intellectual pilot episode that is sure to lead to some pretty
good twists and excitement. The acting was not top notch but suited the
supernatural surrealistic feel the show was giving off. The settings
were realistic and gave the feeling that you were actually there, while
the thunderstorm sequence also worked really well.
The pace of the show held really well considering the fact, of controversy or just conflict, the show was a real doozy. A lot may have seemed to be given away in the teasers you see on TV, but don't let those fool you. The show actually has taken a completely different turn on the first episode, leaving me wanting to know more.
I say this show is off to a good start, and I sure can't wait to see what is in store for these likable, often moot characters.
I LOVE this show. I make sure I am home every Wednesday night to watch Invasion. Shaun Cassidy, you amaze me how you created such a adventurous, sitting on the edge of the seat, and fun show. All the writers, I applaud you. I myself am a new actress of 5 years in the Entertainment Industry. I try to watch a lot of shows for this is my "business" but then become selective with my time after discovering those TV shows I like. Well, Invasion, at first I thought oy vay! Gonna be silly and maybe a lot like "alien" shows in the past. But to me it is not. I cant wait to find out.....WHAT IS IN THE WATER? The main cast members are dynamic. And the actor who plays Russel is so believable. The actor who plays the Sheriff......he kind of spooks me! lol Last nights episode kept me on "the edge of my seat". I am glad you are dealing more with what is in the water now. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! L Berger
What's not to like about this show? It has everything you could want. Mystery, intrigue, wonderment, family drama. Not to mention this show is well written, well acted, well directed and produced. It gives you just enough to leave you begging for more every week (too bad the network doesn't realize that!). The characters are well fleshed out, the scenery and set designs are wonderful and the special effects are awesome. Anyone who "gave up" on this show because of a slow pace in the beginning, should definitely come back. The show is moving at a lightning pace and there's nothing better on TV! A lot of credit goes to the superb cast led by the wonderful William Fichtner as Tom Underlay. With only a few episodes left to air, we still don't know if he's good or bad. Kudos also to Kari Matchett who plays Mariel, she is a very true-to-life character and Matchett plays her conflicting emotions wonderfully. I'd also like to acknowledge a new actor who has totally enthralled me...Nathan Baesel. His portrayal of Deputy Lewis Sirk has been wonderfully engaging and I find myself looking forward to seeing more of him.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am so tired of Network 'Execs' (virtual dumb heads) deciding to take
off a great show due to what they perceive to be 'low ratings' without
taking a really good look at the number of people who watch. No one
polled me! I am one who loves the Sci Fi and fantasy shows. I am so
tired of all the cloned sitcoms and spin offs of things like Law and
Order (how many clones are there of that one?). It is especially
irritating when they yank a show that many of us really love, without
at least giving it a grand finale! Invasion is a really interesting
show. Okay, the first season got a bit lame here and there, but the
writers and creative staff needed some time to build a good storyline
and character development for shows that are complicated. I just
watched what was supposed to be the 2nd Season Finale. It turns out
that it may be the Series Finale. Way too premature! The characters and
plot were just starting to get really interesting. We also have lost
Surface - which also gained so many possibilities from the 'season
finale'. Dang it all! I want to know if Larkin and her baby became
hybrids or perhaps the alien just healed them and put them back on
My favorite shows are Charmed, Lost, Invasion, Surface, Ghost Whisperer (thought I detest Jennifer Love-Hewitt as an actress), Supernatural etc. Those are the shows I love because they are fantasy and NOT 6 O-Clock Newsy or stupid-don't-think-sitcoms. We have way too many 'Reality Shows'; cop n robber shows; animated and live sitcoms etc. We need fantasy shows that give us that escapist thrill to think! I am at the point now where I may just refuse to watch ANY TV and go back to the good ole book reading. I'm done with network politics! How do such self-serving idiots get to control the airwaves?
As a looong time fan of Sci-Fi myself, I think this show is really well done. It is a mind-game, and if you can't follow along, just don't watch. You cannot expect show like this one to give away all it's secrets right from the start, Surface hasn't, if you think you know everything already you don't. That's the point, to keep us hooked from week to week, and Invasion has managed to do that with me and my daughter, who are very hard to please Sci-Fi fans. This show's plot is not meant to be revealed in the first two airings, it's a long complicated process, and those who don't have the patience and can't enjoy a truly enjoyable edge of your seat show shouldn't put it down, just stop watching it, and be quiet!
I don't know about you, but it has been a long dry spell since we have had the pleasure of viewing a good Sci-fi series since "Earth 2" and X-Files. Sadly shows like this come few and far between. "Invasion" grips you from the very first episode and draws you in. The story line moves along quickly and nearly every episode has you on the edge of your seat. In fact, I wouldn't recommend watching this alone; the creepiness factor is reminiscent of the X files. The location lends to the eeriness, and this show may have the same effect of keeping people out of the water as "Jaws" did. The acting is top notch with a well rounded cast; and the story line is plausible. I can hardly wait for each episode to air. Well Done !!!

Cleared of any charges stemming from the dumping of 400 gallons of diesel fuel last year into the South Platte River, the owner of an Evans gas station now plans to build a retail liquor store inside the station.
The Evans City Council granted a liquor license to Jaswinder Singh, owner of Evans Fast Break, 42nd Street and U.S. 85, so he could open Evans Liquor. Construction will last two to three weeks to put up walls inside the convenience store to separate the two businesses, Singh said.
In April, Singh was cleared of any charges stemming from the incident - a fact that Evans city council members made note of in approving the license. Charges against the other two men involved, Reyes Mireles and Kuldip Nijjar, were also dismissed.
It will be the third retail liquor store to open within a radius of one mile from the convenience store, raising questions from David Bradley, owner of 85 Liquor, 37th Street and U.S. 85, about whether the market is saturated. Council members cited a survey showing there is still a demand for liquor, however, in dismissing the concern.

Arian Foster and the Houston Texans take their show on the road to face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Week 10—the biggest game of the week and the toughest one to predict.
More than halfway through the 2012 NFL season, the contenders and pretenders are emerging with vivid clarity, but as we all know, anything can happen on any given Sunday. Even the best teams are capable of laying an egg every now and then—a fact that makes contests like the Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers more interesting than you might think.
This week's slate of games will provide us with some blowouts, some nail-biters and at least one epic upset.
Follow along as we pick every game on the schedule, along with a bold prediction for each contest.

The Government's Childhood Obesity Strategy proves a disappointment

The failure to take steps to reduce salt and fat in our diets undermines

Parallax Occlusion Mapping

Employs per-pixel ray-tracing for dynamic lighting of surfaces in real-time on the GPU. The method uses a high precision algorithm for approximating view-dependent surface extrusion for a given height field to simulate motion parallax and perspective-correct depth. Additionally, the method allows generation of soft shadows in real-time for surface occlusions. Alternatively, POM can be coupled with well-known bump mapping algorithms such as normal mapping if physical accuracy can be sacrificed for greater computational efficiency.

Cartoons, sports, video games, Jerry Garcia, the Great American Songbook: Orchestra season at the Mann Center continues to track ever more toward pop culture.
This summer's orchestra roster of artists and repertoire being imported by the Fairmount Park presenter aims to bring new listeners to classical music by way of just about anything else.
"It is a tactical approach to building audiences," said Mann president and CEO Catherine M. Cahill. "We believe if we can get families into the Mann to experience what we have, it will get people to consider coming back and trying something else."
Eight orchestral concerts are planned, with a possible addition of one or two more, Cahill said.

THE LETTER came postmarked from Cambodia. The author of the letter couldn't write. The recipient of the letter couldn't read.
The author - an old man - had paid someone to write to his daughter in Philadelphia for him: "I'm dying. Come see me," he begged.
The letter recipient asked her husband to read her the letter.
Her heart sank. The woman, Phi Chhian, and her husband had fled Cambodia as refugees in 1981 after surviving Khmer Rouge work camps and losing their eldest daughter to the regime's unrelenting brutality.

However, Wallace, who finished the day with two catches for 27 yards and a touchdown, does note that after looking back on the touchdown he really enjoyed it. "It felt good. That was my first catch, too, so it felt good to get those two things out of the way. Also, it was fun because everybody was going nuts and it was a good time."
Cooper Wallace will be facing his hometown team on Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium when the Vandy Commodores come to AU.
While preparing for Vanderbilt after the Tigers' 56-0 dismantling of the Western Carolina Catamounts in which the offense racked up 621 yards of total offense, the most under a Tommy Tuberville coached team, Wallace says that the game was just what this team needed.
"It was a lot of fun," he notes. "I got broken in at USC, but against Western Carolina I played, I think, 33 plays. It was also good to kind of get used to the home crowd even though I know it is going to get a lot crazier during the bigger games."
Along with the sheer enjoyment of destroying the opponent, Wallace says that last Saturday's game provided the Tigers' offense with a serious opportunity for improvement. "That is another reason that that game was really good because we got to run a lot of plays and really work on a lot of our base plays just running them over and over and over to really get them down."
Blocking and doing it correctly was another major point of emphasis for the tight ends, according to Wallace. "Our big thing during the game was to execute, especially for the linemen and the quarterbacks," Wallace says. "To really execute the plays, not just run them as hard as we can, but to execute and take the right steps. So, that was a really good game to work on all of that."
As most everybody in Jordan-Hare Stadium noticed in the Western Carolina contest, the tight end position was a major facet of the offensive game plan. The three tight ends caught nine balls for 113 of the team's 276 receiving yards as well as both receiving touchdowns. One of the TDs was caught by Wallace and the other was snagged by senior Lorenzo Diamond. Diamond and Johnson also caught the two longest passes of the day for the Tigers which went for 30 and 31 yards, respectively.
Even with all of the action directed at the tight ends vs. WCU, Wallace says that there are still more left in offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino's playbook for himself, Diamond and Johnson. "We have got a bunch of stuff in it that we have not run yet. So, I guess he is just waiting for the right time. But he has got a really good offense going for us, so I am looking forward to getting more into it."

First time at this venue and we had balcony seats. I had read reviews about it being tight up there but I was not prepared for actually how non existent the leg room was. Cute old style building and really not a bad seat in the house. I would definitely not purchase balcony seats again if I return here. However, the show was better then I had anticipated I went with my two daughters 9 and 15 and my mother in law and we all enjoyed it! My only con was it was hard to understand sometimes exactly what the were saying or singing, chalk that up to acoustics.

Linares still does that look away ****. Anyhow, the guy has ability but he wont be a champion anymore. He doesnt have enough punching power and he doesnt box smart enough in the end. He puts himself in the corner and gets his body blasted. And he stands toe to toe when he's faster yet weaker than the other guy.
If he would box, use his jab, and stay off of the ropes he would be a champion. But he's still doing the same **** that cost him the victory vs Demarco. I dont like Demarco. Linares gave his belt up basically. Then showed why the next fight after that. He doesnt box smart for a full fight. Only in glimpses.
Kamagei or whatever the hell his name is was impressive. But he HAS to get rid of that guard. Open for overhand rights and some nasty uppercuts. But I think he actually won the fight. He didnt get knocked down and Im sure he outlanded the kid. He was wearing him down towards the later rounds.
His only problem was he didnt go to the body enough. I know one round he landed a devastating blow to the body but it was towards the end of the round. He hurt the other kid but all that stood out was him almost being knocked out. Great fight though. Definitely a nice warm up to the action next saturday.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
The site claims to be the place where "rope bondage is turned into an art form" and I do have to say that the Doms on the site do seem to have some very impressive expertise when it comes to their ability to make women submit using ropes and bondage. There's a pretty good amount of content and about half of it is in HD. They're also adding a new lengthy scene every week. Unfortunately, the monthly membership fee is very high at $55!
Exclusive Scenes and Quality Bondage
The folks at Hardtied take their bondage very seriously and they're very good at it. You won't just see girls getting hogtied (although there are some very nice scenes with it). You'll see a variety of setups and ropework that sometimes puts the girls into positions they may not have been in before, but that's sometimes why the girls come to this site - to be bound by some of the best.
Good Amount of Content
For a site that produces all its own content and takes the time to produce scenes that are stimulating and creative and lengthy (many videos hit the one-hour mark), having over 400 movies is a nice number. This collection goes back almost 10 years!
Other Good Stuff:
Older Videos in RealPlayer That Aren't HD
It's nice to see that about half the movies offer up HD files and all the movies going forward will do the same. However, looking at the older ones, I only found a mobile option and a RealPlayer option. RealPlayer isn't a format that anyone really uses anymore and they're lower in quality than the newer scenes.
That High Price
In case you missed it, the site is charging $55 for a one-month membership. That's a lot of money and will be a definite deal-breaker for some people regardless of how good the content is.
Minor Negatives:
The quality of the bondage is high, but so is the price tag!
There really isn't anything not to like about the Hardtied scenes. The bound babes are attractive and very genuine in how they react to what's being done to them, whether it's pleasurable or painful or slightly scary. The people doing the bondage and coming up with the positions are experienced and creative. And about half the scenes are in HD, which also doesn't hurt. But then there's that monthly membership fee of $55!

Former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has agreed to terms on a five-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reports. The deal is worth $32.5 million with $14 million guaranteed.
Sanu's best season came in 2014 when he recorded 56 catches for 790 yards and five touchdowns in 13 starts, while fellow receivers A.J. Green and Marvin Jones dealt with injuries. However, with Green and Jones healthy last season, Sanu started just four games and caught 33 passes for 394 yards and zero touchdowns.
But after the Falcons cut longtime receiver Roddy White, Sanu could possibly earn more playing time in Atlanta. At worst, he could be their No. 3 receiver.
The 26-year-old receiver can run and throw, too. Sanu has thrown two career touchdown passes and rushed for two scores last season. It will be interesting to see what Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan does with that next season.
The @AtlantaFalcons just picked up a new WR…
But don't forget, @Mo_12_Sanu can also do this! 😱😱😱 https://t.co/HIBLha7cxa
— NFL (@NFL) March 10, 2016
Sanu's deal comes a day after Jones agreed to sign with the Detroit Lions on a five-year, $40 million deal. So, in a span of two days, Cincinnati has lost two of its top three wide receivers.

Philips Fidelio X1 | Review & Comparison - Page 16

Thanks chicolom - very helpful comments. I think the general consensus is that the X1 is warm because of it's bass, but in every other regard pretty neutral and smooth sounding. I'll try it out with my existing gear 1st as you suggest, however I'm getting a desktop amp and DAC for not only the X1's but future HP's as well (I know a desktop solution is overkill for the Philips, but I want to buy now). You're right - I'll stick to a neutral and detailed setup. Thanks again.
http://camelcamelcamel.com/ (damn - keep thinking toe) just posted an alert: Price has just dropped from 220 GBP down to 160.00 GBP new (equivalent of 260 USD) on Amazon.
The Amazon UK price has gone even lower today and after a couple of price drops (Amazon appear to be tracking a marketplace seller's price) they're now down to £138 GBP, which is the lowest they've ever had them at. Not bad at all!

Does anyone know if they have any issues sound wise with the STX's 10 ohm output impedance?
I believe that there is no issues with the STX bar a very slight hiss at very high volumes (with nothing playing). The guy I spoke to was full of praise for the combo.

I use the STX and I have the X1. What problems were you expecting exactly? I do run the X1 off a Bravo Ocean currently (using the stereo out of the STX) but I could test things for you if you'd like.

How would you compare these to the sony ma900's. I am stuck deciding between the two, gaming is my number one use. Then it would be music, I like fun/warm traits because I only listen to metal.

You can't go wrong with either. I prefer the X1 myself.
Compared to the X1 the MA900s have less bass, a more forward midrange, and slightly darker highs. The X1 has better extension on both ends and is more detailed and refined. The MA900 has a little bit of grain in comparison.
The MA900's stronger focus on midrange combined with its earlier roll off of the sub bass and upper treble makes it sound a tad "n" shaped compared to the X1 - which is a slightly "u" shaped.

how do you find the Bravo Ocean with the STX ? Is it an upgrade ? Cause i'm considering getting it to try out with my X1 and DT880 (250 ohm). Thanks.

I live in France and I've just bought these headphones which come heartily recommended by Noel Keywwod in Hi-Fi World in, a UK mag I have trusted for more than 20 years.
I paid € 180 for them in Germany—they are listed everywhere in France at € 299!
I'll publish my impressions as soon as I get them, which should be some time next week.
Regards from France!
Arrived this morning and been rocking them all day! Blown away.
Trying to Source a V-Moda Boompro in the uk is proving fruitless tho.
Yeah been looking for the boom pro too in the UK.... might as well just order one from the US.
With shipping its $45 + customs, might as well get Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro mic for £45
Actually no don't do that....... I'll have to search for my post (if you saw it there) and scrub that idea. If you look at the jack's housing it's way too wide to fit into the X1 (there's a raised section in profile where the pads start so to speak). Narrow is best - shame.

VFAT Patch to Bypass Patent Issue
Developer Andrew Tridgell has made known that he devised a patch to avoid the possible patent issues with the VFAT filesystem in Linux.
Microsoft owns the patent to the Virtual File Allocation Table (VFAT) filesystem variant that allows long as well as short (8.3) filenames. Earlier this year, the Redmond company and TomTom had come to a legal agreement about its use in TomTom's navigation software. To avoid further patent issues, Samba developer Tridgell sent a first patch to the kernel list in May that disabled long filenames in VFAT. Many developers objected because the patch restricted Linux functionality to FAT.
Tridgell's followup patch takes a clever approach and a better chance at a speedy acceptance in the kernel. An option now exists to disable VFAT_FS_DUALNAMES to avoid creating both 8.3 and long filenames, the essential patent issue. Instead, it creates either one or the other but not both, with 8.3 filenames now including invalid characters by Microsoft standards, the clever workaround to make them unidentifiable as FAT files.
A caveat to this solution is a regression in the patch that older non-VFAT DOS systems with Linux long filenames can no longer read these files -- not an issue for most users. Tridgell does, however, warn that enabling the option could have VFAT dual-filename "implications."
How long Microsoft's FAT patents continue to hold is yet undetermined. The Open Invention Network has been steadily looking for prior art evidence from the community to invalidate the patents. In the meantime, Tridgell's patch should provide some security against any further claims.

ROSEVILLE, Mich. - Police were standing watch over a suburban Detroit driveway on Thursday where authorities have been told the body of former missing Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa may have been buried.
The curious were walking or driving by the Roseville home where state officials planned to take soil samples Friday in the search for human decomposition.
Roseville Police Chief James Berlin previously said officials were "not claiming it's Jimmy Hoffa; the timeline doesn't add up. We're investigating a body that may be at the location."
Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975, outside a suburban Detroit restaurant where he was supposed to meet with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain. His body has not been found despite a number of searches over the years.

The William V. Campbell Trophy, commonly known as the "Academic Heisman" has named its list of 15 finalists.
Two Big 12 players made the list.
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence, also named a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award this week, joins Texas Tech safety Cody Davis on the list.
From the award release:
Candidates must be seniors or graduate students in their final years of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor, and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
The finalist are known as the National Football Foundation's National Scholar-Athlete Class and will travel to New York for an awards dinner on Dec. 4, where the winner of the Campbell Trophy will be announced.
Texas defensive end Sam Acho won the award in 2010, and the Longhorns' Dallas Griffin won the award in 2007.

The Metro Areas With The Most Economic Momentum Going Into 2014
America's economy may be picking up steam, but it remains a story of parts, with the various regions of the country performing in often radically divergent ways.
The Blue-Collar Heroes of the Inland Empire
The late comedian Rodney Dangerfield (nee Jacob Cohen), whose signature complaint was that he "can't get no respect," would have fit right in, in the Inland Empire. The vast expanse east of greater Los Angeles has long been castigated as a sprawling, environmental trash heap by planners and pundits, and its largely blue-collar denizens denigrated by some coast-dwellers, including in Orange County, who fret about "909s" – a reference to the IE's area code – crowding their beaches.
Downsizing the American Dream
At this time of year, with Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas, there's a tendency to look back at our lives and those of our families. We should be thankful for the blessings of living in an America where small dreams could be fulfilled.
For many, this promise has been epitomized by owning a house, with a touch of green in the back and a taste of private paradise. Those most grateful for this opportunity were my mother's generation, which grew up in the Great Depression. In her life, she was able to make the move from the tenements of Brownsville, Brooklyn, first to the garden apartments of Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, and, eventually, to a mass-produced suburban house on Long Island.
Where Working-Age Americans Are Moving
Barrels of ink and money have been devoted to predictions of where Americans will migrate, particularly younger ones. If you listen to big developer front groups such as the Urban Land Institute or pundits like Richard Florida, you would believe that smart companies that want to improve their chances of cadging skilled workers should head to such places as downtown Chicago, Manhattan and San Francisco, leaving their suburban office parks deserted like relics of a bygone era.
The Geography Of Aging: Why Millennials Are Headed To The Suburbs
One supposed trend, much celebrated in the media, is that younger people are moving back to the city, and plan to stay there for the rest of their lives. Retirees are reportedly following suit.
Urban theorists such as Peter Katz have maintained that millennials (the generation born after 1983) show little interest in "returning to the cul-de-sacs of their teenage years." Manhattanite Leigh Gallagher, author of the dismally predictable book The Death of Suburbs, asserts with certitude that "millennials hate the suburbs" and prefer more eco-friendly, singleton-dominated urban environments.
China Failing its Families
China's recent decision to reverse – at least in part – its policy limiting most couples to one child marks a watershed in thinking about demographics. Yet, this reversal of the 30-year policy may prove unavailing due to reasons – notably dense urbanization and high property prices – that work against people having more children.
China already faces a demographic crisis unprecedented for a still-poor country. By 2050, China will have 60 million fewer people under 15 years of age, while the over-65 population grows by 190 million, approximately the population of Pakistan, the world's sixth-most populous country. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that China's population will peak in 2026, and then will age faster than any country besides Japan; most of the world's decline in children and workers ages 15-19 over the next two decades will take place in China.
Silicon Valley is No Model for America
Its image further enhanced by the recent IPO of Twitter, Silicon Valley now stands in many minds as the cutting edge of the American future. Some, on both right and left, believe that the Valley's geeks should reform the nation, and the government, in their image.
The Revolt Against Urban Gentry
The imminent departure of New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and his replacement by leftist Bill DeBlasio, represents an urban uprising against the Bloombergian "luxury city" and the growing income inequality it represents. Bloomberg epitomized an approach that sought to cater to the rich—most prominently Wall Street—as a means to both finance development growth and collect enough shekels to pay for services needed by the poor.
Los Angeles: Will The City Of The Future Make It There?
When I arrived in Los Angeles almost 40 years ago, there was a palpable sense that here, for better or worse, lay the future of America, and even the world. Los Angeles dominated so many areas — film, international trade, fashion, manufacturing, aerospace — that its ascendency seemed assured. Even in terms of the urban form, L.A.'s car-dominated, multipolar configuration was being imitated almost everywhere; it was becoming, as one writer noted, "the original in the Xerox" machine.
Progressive Policies Burden the Yeoman Class
Obamacare's first set of victims was predictable: the self-employed and owners of small businesses. Since the bungled launch of the health insurance enrollment system, hundreds of thousands of self-insured people have either had their policies revoked or may find themselves in that situation in the coming months.
The Surprising Cities Creating The Most Tech Jobs
With the social media frenzy at a fever pitch, people may be excused for thinking that Silicon Valley is still the main engine for growth in the technology sector. But a close look at employment data over time shows that tech jobs are dispersing beyond the Valley and its much-celebrated urban annex of San Francisco.
The 'Great State' of San Francisco
The public stock offering by Twitter reflects not only the current bubble in social media stocks, but also the continuing shift in both economic and political power away from Southern California to the San Francisco Bay Area, home to less than one in five state residents. Not since the late 19th century, when San Francisco and its environs dominated the state, has influence been so lopsidedly concentrated in just one region.
Are Millennials Turning Their Backs on the American Dream?
In his classic 1893 essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," historian Frederick Jackson Turner spoke of "the expansive character of American life." Even though the frontier was closing, Turner argued, the fundamental nature of Americans was still defined by their incessant probing for "a new field of opportunity." Turner's claim held true for at least a century—during that time, the American spirit generated relentless technological improvement, the gradual creation of a mass middle class, and the integration of ever more diverse immigrants into the national narrative.
American Cities May Have Hit 'Peak Office'
Despite some hype and a few regional exceptions, the construction of office towers and suburban office parks has not made a significant resurgence in the current recovery. After a century in which office space expanded nationally with every uptick in the economy, we may have reached something close to "peak office" in most markets.
L.A. Ports Face Challenge from Gulf Coast
In this strange era of self-congratulation in California, it may be seen as poor manners to point out tectonic shifts that could leave the state and, particularly, Southern California, more economically constrained and ever more dependent on asset bubbles, such as in real estate. One of the most important changes on the horizon is the shift of economic power and influence away from the Pacific Coast to the Gulf Coast – the Third Coast – a process hastened by the imminent widening of the Panama Canal.
