Another is a standard cable that can be used with devices with standard 3.5mm headphone output.
Can I use a third party cable with my headphones?
KEF headphones cables are specially designed, cables from third parties are unlikely to fit. They may cause damage to your headphones and equipment.
How do I ensure that the sound from my M500 headphones is fully optimised?
Check that the 2.5mm/3.5mm jack connectors are fully inserted into the sockets. If you are using other non-Apple devices, you are advised to use the standard cable without inline remote control to check if it is compatibility issue.
For further support please contact your local KEF distributor.
How do I ensure that the sound from my M200 earphones is fully optimised?
Check that the 3.5mm jack connector is fully inserted into the socket of your audio device.
On the rare occasion that the earphones is not supported by your device, third party cable adpators could be used to bypass the in-line remote control for normal audio playback functions only.
For further support please contact your local KEF distributor.

What remote control functions can be used on non-Apple devices?
Generic Android compatible remote controls only have a single button to toggle between play/pause and answer/end call. The play/pause and microphone function should work on Android phones running 4.1.2 and above, however volume control and skip track functions on KEF's in-line remote control will NOT work on devices other than Apple devices.
The in-line remote control does not work with my device, is there any firmware update that will enable the remote control function?
No firmware update is available from KEF for the remote control function, as it is a consequence of the device hardware compatibility issue.
How can I receive phone calls whilst listening to music?
For all the compatible devices (refer to "Compatible devices for my headphones") you can receive phone call by pressing the middle button on the inline remote control. This will pause your music to answer a call. The music will begin playing from where it was paused once the call is over or you press the middle button to end the call.

James Jones still talks to Donald Driver and Greg Jennings on an almost daily basis, so the Green Bay Packers most veteran wide receiver left behind after Driver's retirement and Jennings' free-agent defection to the Minnesota Vikings hasn't been lamenting the loss of his old friends.
"There won't be a moment where it's like, 'Oh, I miss those guys,'" Jones promised earlier this week after the first open organized team activity practice of the offseason.
In fact, Jones wasn't feeling the least bit sentimental about his old pal Jennings, who inked a five-year, $47.5 million deal with the archrival Vikings, who'll face the Packers on Oct. 27 at Mall of America Field at the Metrodome, and on Nov. 24 at Lambeau Field.
"I don't care too much about Greg," Jones said. "I just want our DBs to lock him on down and let's get the victory."
Jones casual air aside, there's no denying that the Packers' receiving corps look different without Driver, the franchise's all-time leader in catches and receiving yardage, and Jennings, a two-time Pro Bowler who averaged 68.8 catches, 1,107 receiving yards and 9.2 touchdowns per year from 2007 through 2011 before an injury-riddled 2012.
"It is different. Those are some great guys," second-year wide receiver Jeremy Ross said. "Even in our meeting rooms, we had a lot of fun hanging out with those guys and they brought a lot of good character to the room. Not having those guys there is a little different. I was kind of bummed, but we've got a good group of guys here now."
That's certainly the feeling quarterback Aaron Rodgers has about Jones, Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson, the three proven holdovers at the position.
Last season, Jones played a receiver-high 1,149 snaps and set career highs in every category, catching 64 passes for 784 yards and an NFL-leading 14 touchdowns. He's entering the final year of his contract.
Cobb made an enormous jump in his second NFL season, as the coaches turned him into the offensive Swiss Army knife. With Jennings out with a torn abdominal muscle, Cobb played 733 snaps and caught a team-high 80 passes for 954 yards and added eight touchdowns, second only to Jones.
Nelson was unable to replicate his breakout 2011 in large part due to injuries (hamstring, ankle, knee) but was still the team's best deep-ball threat (team-leading 15.2 yards per reception) while catching 49 passes for 745 yards and seven TDs in 670 snaps.
"I still like the guys we've got," Rodgers said after practice. "We have a lot of talent at that position. I think Randall Cobb is a guy who could be a 100-plus catch guy every year. James Jones led the league in touchdown receptions last year. (And) Jordy has had some real big years for us."
After the big three, the Packers have Jarrett Boykin, who came to the rookie orientation camp a year ago as a tryout player after being cut by Jacksonville and earned a spot on the 53-man roster coming out of training camp as the sixth receiver. The rookie caught only five passes for 27 yards in regular-season play, but his final catch was a big one: A critical 7-yard grab on fourth down against Minnesota in the regular-season finale that kept a late scoring drive alive. The coaches like his size (6-foot-2, 218 pounds) and detailed approach to the game.
Ross is also in the mix, although his biggest contributions could be on special teams, where he could take the load off of Cobb on returns if he's sufficiently recovered from the devastating muffed punt that gave away a touchdown in the team's NFC Divisional Playoff loss to San Francisco. Although he did not have a regular-season catch, he did play eight snaps from scrimmage and could be in the mix.
"I like what Jarrett Boykin brings. He's a big, physical receiver who's going to get some opportunities this year," Rodgers said. "And I think he really has a great approach to the game, as does Jeremy Ross. Both those guys last year really stepped up and cared about it enough to put in a lot of extra time."
The Packers also added Maryland's Kevin Dorsey and Grand Valley State's Charles Johnson in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, but both players were not practicing on Tuesday when the session was open to reporters and fans.
"I think the young players we brought in and drafted in free agency will do a lot for themselves if they take the same kind of approach (Boykin and Ross) did to making this team and bettering themselves," Rodgers said. "If they do, then we'll have a really deep receiving corps."
After all, it's not as if the Packers didn't get an idea of what a Jennings-less and Driver-less offense would look like. Jennings' abdominal muscle injury cost him eight games and parts of two others, and he finished with 36 receptions for 366 yards and four touchdowns in regular season and before catching a team-high 10 passes for 115 yards and a TD in two playoff games. He played only 531 snaps, including playoffs.
Driver, meanwhile, caught only eight passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns and was charged with three drops out of 13 targets by ProFootballFocus.com. He played only 154 snaps and was inactive for four games, including the NFC Wild Card playoff victory over Minnesota.
"Certainly with Donald, what he was able to accomplish during his career spoke for itself. Greg, again, a talented player, was extremely productive, and obviously he decided to make the change and go to Minnesota. That gives the guys we already have more opportunities," wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett said.
"I think they're excited about that, anxious to go out there and earn it and prove it every day, that they're capable. Certainly with J.J. last year, I thought he had a phenomenal year, and this year he's going to be even better than what he was last year. I think he understands that and I think knows what he's capable of doing. I thought last year was just a starting point for James.
"Same with Randall – tremendous strides, but again, he can do so much more. He can clean up certain areas and be even more fundamentally sound and be even more productive. Jordy, coming back from injuries and fighting and playing through it, (he) still (was) productive but (he knows) what he's capable of doing. And now we've got some young guys that are biting at the bit to prove that they're worthy of getting out there and being productive in this offense and earning that place."
With training camp still two months away, the biggest change so far is in the environment, where Jones, Cobb and Nelson must take the lead.
"We know we have to be leaders to those guys, and it's already starting. We're in those guys' ears 24/7," Jones said. "I'm sure they're probably sick of hearing us all day, going home telling themselves, 'These guys think they know everything.'
"But we know the more ammo we got, the better we are. We definitely try to bring our young guys along."

Despite the undeniable popularity of JSP among Java programmers, there is a substantial amount of doubt, if not criticism, over its suitability as a front-end language for delivering HTML pages. One of the main complaints is that it breaks the MVC (Model-View-Controller) paradigm. Other issues include:
Some of these issues arise from the nature of the current JSP usage patterns, rather than the JSP itself. I would like to present here a concept called "Transparent Data Pipelines" (TDP), which borrows elements from the following proven metaphors:
Once implemented, such a facility will allow one to treat the Java code on a JSP page as merely a subset of the Java language, where the programmer will only use:
Although I do believe a well-designed template language will assist with most of these issues, for the majority of JSP users the TDP solution should solve, to a large extent, the MVC goal. In addition, TDP addresses resource-reclamation and exception-handling issues, while preserving for advanced Java programmers a single programming language solution.
In addition to bolstering the "View" portion of the MVC, the TDP architecture proposes solutions to the rarely addressed "model" part of the MVC and provides declarative solutions for data gathering.
TDP also addressees an increasingly important standard called "InfoSets" and delivers the model data as a hierarchical data set to the view portion. The reason why InfoSets matter here is because the InfoSet is represented as Java Object Tree and not a DOM tree (allowing lazy loading, etc.).
Every architecture is eager to confirm that it supports, if not embraces, MVC. What exactly is MVC and why is it my starting point? As depicted in Figure 1, the Web is built with the request/response model. A request is received by a "controller" on the Web server, which then orchestrates a response to be sent back. To generate a response, data has to be gathered and presented in a requisite format, in this case, HTML. The gathered data becomes the "model" part of the MVC. The presentation logic is said to constitute the "view" part of the MVC.

Java Servlet Programming, 2nd Edition
In a well-architected system, a controller is designed as a servlet, the model as a set of EJBs, and the view as a set of JSPs. Of course, variations of this concept are not uncommon. For example, one might choose to represent the model as a set of Java Beans, as opposed to Enterprise Java Beans. And one might decide to use template engines to present views instead of JSP.
Now on to the details of what MVC does not prescribe as a hard rule. A controller servlet typically receives a request, retrieves an appropriate business object or objects, and passes them over to the JSP. The JSP then uses those data objects to merely paint. How less intricate the JSP page is depends on how well your model data object is designed.
If you have two JSPs, then each page will typically receive its own business object. For example, a customer detail page will receive a customer business object, and an invoice detail page will receive an invoice business object. These types of specific business objects are called "vertical interfaces;" each JSP presents its own interface. For this reason, these objects are characterized as a circle and a triangle in Figure 1.
The role of the JSP is to walk through these distinct interfaces, retrieve data, and paint the page. If one were to call these distinct objects "vertical interfaces," won't there also be "horizontal interfaces"? To answer this question, let us move on to the next section.
In an MVC paradigm, the "model" varies, depending on the nature of business objects it is carrying. Horizontal interfaces represent uniformity among interfaces presented by objects. Some of the most widely-known horizontal interfaces are the base interfaces of the COM spec --
IUnknown and
If the model of the MVC is such that it always returns the same interface to the view, the JSP programmer's job becomes easier. This is because every JSP will deal with the model the same way. For example, the same methods are used to retrieve key value pairs from the model; the same mechanism is used to retrieve table data and list box data, etc. In other words, the interface of this unified model is the same, regardless of which JSP the model is delivered to by the controller servlet.
This is demonstrated in the following diagram, where a star represents this unified model interface. The only difference between this diagram and the previous diagram is that the controller servlet now delivers the same interface to all of the JSPs.
Inquisitive programmers will ask: "this uniform interface is still very abstract; please give us a concrete example of one such an interface." Let me give an example:
interface IDataSetNode
boolean gotoNext(); // goto next row
// Retrieve values from current row
String getValue(String key);
String getValue(String key, String default);
// Retrieve a child dataset based on a name
IDataSetNode getChildDataNode(String childName);
// Close any resources in a recursive fashion
void close();
//Xpath support
String getValueUsingXPath(String xpathExpression);
String getValueUsingXPath(String xpathExpression, String default);
Although the API still seems somewhat esoteric, the following data model should make the API very clear. In essence, a dataset is a collection of rows, where each row represents a set of columns and 0 to n datasets derived from the key value pairs in that row.
<!-- 0 to n rows -->
<!-- 0 to n columns -->
<!-- each row will have 0 to n data sets -->
<DataSet name="set1">
<DataSet name="set2">
Underneath an implementation of a
DataSet, one can hide the data, coming from multiple data sources, that will include:
As you can see from the above, a unified interface gives you an idea of how to represent the data needs for any JSP. One can improve upon these interfaces to suit more complex needs. But the fact remains that one can design interfaces that have commonality and reap the benefits of that commonality.
At this juncture you might ask, how is this different from an XML DOM tree? The important consideration is one of storage efficiency and navigational ease. The presented navigational interface has the following characteristics:
Our exploration into the nature of MVC and its adaptation to JSP doesn't stop here. In this section, I will transform this idea into the idea of Transparent Data Pipelines. Figure 3 shows what happens when MVC with horizontal interfaces is transformed into a TDP.
The idea is that there is a data pipeline between your data sources and your views (in this case, the JSP page). One end of this data pipeline yields a horizontal interface called
IDataSetNode, representing a hierarchical dataset. At the other end of the pipeline are the data sources.
Even in this scenario, the controller servlet will continue to receive the incoming request. Once the preliminaries of the request are complete (authentication, authorization, logging, etc.), the request is submitted to a data pipeline. Attached to the pipeline are such entities as EJBs, Stored Procs, etc. A set of EJBs and Stored Procs are chosen for an incoming request, and their output is collected and consolidated into a hierarchical data set and finally delivered to the JSP.
Another important component of this architecture is the XML definition file defining what entities (such as EJBs and Stored Procedures) belong to what request. The programmer will declaratively define these pipeline connections in a definition file. So, in essence, the TDP becomes the "model" part of the MVC architecture.
The following diagram explains TDP from a compositional perspective. The core of TDP is that it knows how to combine relational data sets into a hierarchical data set. Let us first find out where we get the relational data sets from.
When we execute a "Select" SQL from JDBC, we end up with a relational data set represented by a result set. When we execute a stored procedure from JDBC, we could end up with a relational data set. When we have a Java class that returns a Java object that implements the concept of rows and columns, we again have a relational data set.
So we have multiple data sources that could yield the concept of relational data sets. This relational data set could be encapsulated into an API (similar to the rowset API of JDBC 2.0). In the example shown below, we have stored procedures, EJBs, Java procedures, and flat files yielding relational data sets.
The transparent data pipeline, assisted by an XML definition file, will organize these relational data sets into a hierarchical data set identified by the
IDataSetNode interface.
Although the composition is taking place inside of the TDP architecture, the developer is exposed only to the XML definition file and the JSP. Because of this there seems to exist, for the developer, a transparent data pipeline between the data sources and the JSPs.
Let's pause at this point and review the characteristics of the TDP:
As TDP is delivering hierarchical data sets, there is an interesting connection between TDP and XML; this is via InfoSets. The InfoSets specification recognizes that XML data is fundamentally hierarchical and hence any hierarchical data, regardless of its representation, is XML.
Because of this, many of the tools that were previously defined for XML (schemas, xdata, etc.) can now be used against hierarchical data, as long as it follows the InfoSet model. So, potentially, one can apply XPATH queries on this hierarchical data to populate HTML via JSPs.
Realizing that this hierarchical data is indeed XML, one can even turn over the presentation of this data to XSL.
If we can apply a JSP transformation or an XSL transformation on the end points of a transparent data pipeline, what other transformations are possible? The hierarchical data set, due to its horizontal interface, is extremely suitable for your own homegrown template languages that could circumvent a minor irritation of JSP and XSL (namely, the inability to visualize the HTML template in which JSP and XSL is embedded).

Java and XSLT
Why do horizontal interfaces aid template languages? Because a template language does not have to distinguish between what objects are being accessed, when all objects sport the same interface. This uniformity also helps in translating pages between templates and JSPs when needed.
Let's take a trivial template language and see how this can be converted to a JSP when the need arises.
<!-looptag_bgn myloop -->
Sample {{var_name}} and {{var_lastname}}
<!-looptag_end myloop -->
The above language will loop through the HTML section between the tags while replacing the
{{var_name}} and
{{var_lastname}} for each row that is in that loop. By examining the
IDataSetNode interface, it is not difficult to imagine how the template engine could use that interface to walk through this HTML segment. By leaving the tags in comments, and exposing the substitution variables, the HTML design is kept intact, even after the tags are placed in the page.
Here is the equivalent JSP for that section:
IDataSetNode pageData = request.getAttribute("PageData");
IDataSetNode myLoopData = pageData.getChildDataSet("myloop");
// Loop through the node data
while (myLoopData.getnext()){
Sample <%= myLoopData.getValue("var_name") %> and <%= myLoopData.getValue("var_lastName") %>
} // end of while
The implication is that TDP eminently enables users to use their own transformations on the incoming data sets.
Facilities for exception handling in JSPs leave much to be desired. As I said, this is not a flaw of the JSP concept, but a problem of the current implementations. I am sure future releases of JSP will rectify this. In the meantime, there's no need to lose heart. There are some excellent solutions to circumvent the problem.
Why do we need exception handling on JSP pages? Although we are providing a nice, all-encompassing
IDataSetNode object to the JSP, the navigation of this object might encounter exceptions, errors and runtime exceptions. And when an exception happens, the resources that you may have acquired will have to be returned.
Although it is possible to register error pages when an exception occurs, it has to be enforced on all of the JSPs, and programmers, as a rule, are a forgetful lot (if I am at all representative). The solution again lies in MVC. If there is a controller servlet that has transferred control to the JSP page, the controller servlet is a good place to perform this clean-up.
All that a controller servlet has to do is set up a
CleanupRegistry in the
HttpRequest (or more generally, the current thread) and let the model and the view register
ICleanUpTasks with this registry. The controller servlet will call clean-up on this
CleanupRegistry when the request returns from the JSP.
When using TDP, this cleanup registration typically happens in the model, and the clean-up in the controller and the view usually stays out of it. So the JSPs are completely exception-safe, as long as the JSP limits itself to accessing data from the passed hierarchical data set. Even in other cases, the JSP could always register a clean-up task if it were to request any clean-up as a post process.
Why are we going to such great lengths for cleaning up? How often do we run into this situation? Unfortunately, quite often, when we are dealing with relational databases and JDBC. Every time we access a result set we are dealing with three important resources:
These resources will have to be either closed or returned to their pools once the data is collected from them. One cheap solution is to retrieve the result sets into vectors and close these resources at the data source level. This could be a bad idea for high-volume Web sites -- this would basically increase your memory trace, as you are commiting memory for all the rows at one time instead of processing them one at a time.
Processing one at a time is not that simple architecturally, because this processing takes place on the JSP, and the JSP is not good at cleanup. So the solution is to allow an abstraction like TDP and provide a close method on
IDataSetNode, which will ripple through all of the inner relational data sets.
There is also something of a prevailing wisdom that one should not allow any exceptions to happen on a JSP page. The idea is that we can pre-collect all the data that a JSP page needs so that we can deal with exceptions before the JSP page is invoked. To me, this seems a tall compromise, in terms of scalability. In my view, one can minimize the exceptions that can happen on a JSP page, but one can never really stop runtime exceptions. I do agree that you have to minimize exceptions and find reasonable ways to deal with those severe exceptions.
This one single aspect of server-side programming, combined with connection pooling, determines how scalable and reliable your application server is.
TDP has much broader applications than the Web space. For instance, if one can standardize on the declarative definition of the compositional aspects of TDP, it is possible for multiple vendors to ship out-of-the-box TDP executors that one can plug into his or her applications, just the way they do now for JDBC drivers. And the programmers can be relieved from writing JDBC code, CICS code, etc., rather than focusing on the business logic that can manipulate the data returned.
As the data sets are already InfoSets, it makes lot of sense to return them in SOAP envelopes to make your backends SOAP-enabled, thereby serving your B2B and B2C needs simultaneously.
TDP will come in handy for enterprise reporting systems. Today, these reporting engines are constrained and pigeon-holed for a specific database and a specific kind of data source. Something like TDP will open up these reporting engines by infusing data in XML and let the reporting engines do what they do best, design GUI-based report templates.
The above analogy will apply to charting software as well. Let the charting engines design GUI templates for charts, and supply the needed data utilizing the declarative TDP. This approach has been successfully applied in the industry.
TDP is highly effective in bringing J2EE and XML to a much larger audience, allowing one to develop solutions in a much shorter timeframe, while maintaining the following characterestics:

Board awaits federal OK on rights policies
SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield School Board postponed a vote on its new anti-bullying and harassment policies on Monday.
Board members said before they can vote, the policy needs approval from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights.
Federal investigators say in May 2010, a black sixth-grader was threatened by a Riverside Middle School teacher's aide who used a racial epithet, the Associated Press reported in August.
The school district paid up to $3,000 in counseling services but one of the school district's attorneys, Pietro Lynn of Lynn, Lynn, and Blackman, confirmed it was a no fault settlement and voluntary resolution agreement. Even so, the OCR advised the school district to strengthen policies and train faculty and staff on bullying and harassment procedures.
"One of the steps was to rewrite the harassment and bullying policies and take it further than the state of Vermont. We're in legal dialogue with them clearing our policy," said Zach McLaughlin, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment.
The school district's draft policies will include language provided by state and federal agencies. The policy on bullying prevention is defined as an overt act or combination of acts — including electronic acts — directed against students.
Bullying incidents are typically repeated over time, directed at a particular student and intended to ridicule, humiliate or intimidate, according to the draft policy.
The policy on harassment prohibits the unlawful harassment of students based on race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Each school will select two or more employees to receive complaints and publicize their availability within the district, the draft says.
The OCR added language to the proposed policies for an enhanced appeal process. If an individual commits an act of bullying or harassment, the person can appeal the decision in accordance with the district's disciplinary policy, statues or collective bargaining agreements.
Both policies will also include independent reviews. If an individual commits an act of bullying or harassment and is not satisfied with the decision, they may submit a request in writing to the Springfield Superintendent of Schools.
"The appeals process for bullying and harassment will be identical," Springfield Superintendent Frank Perotti said.
The district also designated McLaughlin as the new equity coordinator to oversee all aspects of implementation. The coordinator will be responsible for implementation the Equal Opportunity in Education and Civil Rights Acts.
The Vermont Legislature passed a law last biennium requiring school districts to put anti-bullying and harassment policies in place by Jan. 1, 2013. The School Board will revisit the new policies before the end of the year, but a date has not been determined.

Core i5 3570K processor review -
Intel Core i5 3570K revisited - overclocked and charted
It was merely less then a year ago Intel Ivy bridge processors had been released. Over time one of the more popular processors of the entire series has become the Core i5 3750K processor, it's powerful, way more affordable then a 3770K and overclockable to a certain extend if you know what you need to deal with.
Many moons ago we have shared performance of this processor with you already, but over time benchmarks have been updated repositioning the processor a tiny bit. Next to that we never gave the processor an actual stand-alone review and as such we never have been able to overclock it, hence to the quick reference reviews where we get processor samples for merely a few days.
Now we know a lot of people have a hard time overclocking these processors even over 4300 MHz, so as such these are all good reasons to retest this processor we say. So today a standalone review on the Ivy bridge architecture based Core i5 3570K where we'll learn you how to take it towards 4700 MHz as well. What is Ivy bridge ? Let me put it very simply, you take say a Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600/2700K processor, apply it to a smaller fabrication node (22nm), increase the Turbo a little, increase the graphics performance a little and bam... that's a Core i7 3770K processor. Performance wise Ivy Bridge series never did stun and shock like the Sandy Bridge series did once they where introduced. In fact clock for clock it is all roughly the very same, with a +0.8% performance offset in favor of Ivy Bridge.
However -- with Ivy Bridge comes fairly nice overclockability, the platform comes with native USB 3.0, we got PCIe Gen 3 for the fastest graphics cards and overall just is a really fast processor series. Ever since Sandy Bridge there has been another massive change inside the processor, integrated graphics processor cores working in symbiosis with the CPU, even sharing cache, embedded and harbored inside the processor. It all started with the Core i5 650, 660 and 661 processors but these CPUs had two little small chips on the processor die, literally. And that has changed as both Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge have embedded IGPs. For Ivy Bridge the IGP has certainly gotten a good chunk faster, as they must compete with AMD's really excellent implementation. Next to that, the IGP is now DirectX 11 compatible as well.
Today of course we'll be reviewing Intel's Core i5 3570K processor. Why K versions you ask? Well, the default Ivy Bridge processors are much harder to overclock. With past-gen processors you pretty much took your base clock of 133 MHz and apply say a default multiplier of 25, that would be your 3.33 GHz processor. That base clock was capable of going so much higher, 150, 186 and when tweaked right, even over 200 MHz. The new technology however has an embedded GPU / video processor merged into the very same processor die running over the same bus sharing the same L3 cache memory, things get increasingly complicated in matters of tweaking. The 100 MHz baseclock of Ivy Bridge processors therefore is harder to tweak. And that is why Intel introduced the K series, it will offer you an unlocked multiplier which will allow you to go much, much higher.
All today's test benchmarks will carry overclocked test results with the 3570K processor running at a stable 4700 MHz.
Have a peek at what will be tested, and then let's head onwards to the next page.
We review the Intel Core i5 6600K processor developed at a 14nm node these processors are very energy friendly. For this review we look at the performance of this processor in a wide variety of bench...
Core i5 3570K processor review
We review the Core i5 3570K Ivy bridge processor. Will Ivy Bridge be the processor series everything you expected? Go find out in this extensive review here at Guru3D.
Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K review
Today we test and review Sandy Bridge, the Intel Core i7-2600K and Intel Core i5-2500K processors. We will pair the 2600K processor with the Intel Desktop Motherboard DP67BG and also run a test with the Intel Core i5-2500K processor on a Intel DH67BL motherboard
Core i5 655K and Core i7 875K processor review
Intel today releases two new processors targeted at a somewhat more enthusiast audience. Yes, processors for tweakers and overclockers. On socket LGA 1156 Intel now releases two K series processors. The 32nm Intel Core i5-655K processor has the very same specifications as the Core i5 650; it will operate at 3.2 GHz, will feature two cores with Hyper-Threading technology, sport 4MB of L3 cache and will be made using 32nm process technology. The difference between the 650 and 655K is the unlocked multiplier only. Then we have the enthusiast class Intel Core i7-875K processor, it has the very same specifications as the Core i7 870; it will operate at 2.93GHz, will feature four cores with Hyper-Threading technology, sport 8MB of L3 cache and will be made using 45nm process technology. The only difference between the two central processing units (CPUs) will be the unlocked multiplier on the 875K chip, which will allow overclockers and enthusiasts to easily boost clock-speed of the product without the necessity of overclocking other parts of their systems.

I have always had a semi low milk supply. DS is a slow gainer and even now at 18mo he doesn't eat solids very well. He is constantly moving and never stops even when nursing, he wiggles and kicks and stands.
2 weeks ago he got Hand, Foot and Mouth and went on a short strike, about 3 days. I have also been trying to lose weight by eating healthier, low fat, more veggies and swimming laps. Could these two things have lowered my supply?
But now my milk is at almost zero! His wet diapers are not as wet as before. I am worried he will now lose weight which he just can't really afford.
I have been eating tons of oatmeal and drinking tons of water. I haven't been sleeping well. He nurses the usual times, all night long, morning at wakeing, mid morning, at nap, mid afternoon and then to sleep. But not getting much I can tell.
What happend to my milk and how do I help get it going again?

Finally, a sign of hope for the future of the Coco Palms resort on Kauai. Twenty years after it was destroyed by Hurricane Iniki, local investors have stepped up to buy and renovate the Wailua resort.
"We hope that Coco Palms becomes the true place of aloha that it was prior to Hurricane Iniki," said Tyler Greene, developer for Coco Palms Hui LLC.
Greene says he wants to restore the property to what it looked like before the hurricane hit.
"There's quite a bit to do. It's a full renovation job," said Greene. "We'll be peeling the buildings back to the studs, but all the structures that exist today will stay as they are."
The investors' plan to renovate is an aggressive one.
Immediately after getting their demolition permit this week, crews are already clearing the overgrown brush and trees which have taken over the resort and reconstruction will begin in 2014.
The new buyers are going to reduce the number of rooms from 400 to 350 but will make the rooms larger.
Plans also include renovating the restaurants and restoring the popular lagoon.
"It is our hope to have things like weddings and luaus and cultural events there," said Greene. "We just want it to be a welcoming grounds for residents of Kauai as well as visitors from all around the world."
Click here to see more pictures of the Coco Palms renovations.
All of this activity and the announcement has been a welcoming surprise for the Coco Palms site manager and long-time Kauai resident Bob Jasper, who says this has been a long time coming.
"I am so elated, I can't stand it!" said Jasper. "This is the greatest thing I've heard in forever."
Kauai's mayor Bernard Carvalho released this statement on Friday about the activity at Coco Palms:
"Over the years we have heard many plans for the Coco Palms property, but this is the first time we've seen real action. Today's announcement gives me hope that Coco Palms could be brought back to life in a way that honors its legendary past. I am also hopeful that, if this progresses as planned, we can work with the new owners to properly preserve the cultural and historical significance of the area."

This married foreign born pop singer who is trying to make a comeback has been doing a lot of recording at night. She also has been spending a lot of time with this male porn star who goes by one name and who is very very large.
Lily Allen
Are there any other kind of male porn stars?ReplyCancel
This is a job for Count.ReplyCancel
Now I wanna make up male porn star uni-names:
Violet–PRIORATIES! ; )
I heard one porn star on the radio who is known to be packing heavy bragging about bangin Lilo on the coach while her dad was sleeping upstairs
but forget his name…ReplyCancel
Some friends of mine went to the Sex show a few months ago. Ron Jeremy was there. I find him repulsive, and even more so after hearing that he showed up in dirty sweats and a T shirt in crocs and the venue was charging over $20 for a picture with him. Ewww somehow does not quite cover the icks I get at that thought.ReplyCancel
Well the porn blinds bring out the lads.
The answer is: all if them!!!!
That's why you don't get with porn stars unless you want a permanent giftReplyCancel
Good for her,,,:-))ReplyCancel
Sillygurl: While I hope that's not the case w/Lilo (I'm not going to wish HIV on anyone), frankly I wouldn't be surprised, as the likelihood of her practicing any kind of safer sex is remote at best. It might also explain some of her behavior as of late: if she figures she's going to die anyway, she might as well drink, drug, steal and lie as much as possible. Unfortunately, I can also see her being the kind of sociopath who would be more than happy to spread the wealth around, in an "if I'm going down, I'm taking as many people as possible with me" way. (Yes, I know, a good drug regimen can keep full-blown AIDS at bay for a long time, but really, who thinks she has it together enough to follow something like that? Is it possible some of the various bruises, etc. are actually Karposi's sarcoma? *sigh*)ReplyCancel
Looooong time reader,first time to comment,be gentle…ReplyCancel
Yay, TartanPrincess! And now I'm thinking of Charlie…ReplyCancel
TTM,I was hoping u would be the first to respond!!!I love how u always say oot/aboot/shite…I am Scottish and it reminds me of home…aaaahhhh!!!Plus,u rock!ReplyCancel
Woo hoo, TartanPrincess! Thank you! Are you still.in Scotland??ReplyCancel
Nah but close enough,live in Ireland with Irish hubs,here since 2000,just had a baby boy and this site has kept me laughing and feeling human during those 3 in the morning feeds!!!Also during my 2 hour commute to work before mummy duty!!!ReplyCancel
Hey Tartan Princess! 2 snaps for a New Poster!
(get it? Bc you're from Scotland? Ehh worth a shot)ReplyCancel
Teeheeeee k-wigs,love it!ReplyCancel
@Silly and Robin I really hope not. I will always have a soft-spot for that wild thing. Unless she gets behind the wheel plastered again and hurts someone. and when she went to jail they released the list of meds she was on and the only one STD related was Valtrex so I don't think its true fortunately. Plus she hooks on the side–surely it would be confirmed by now…ReplyCancel
@Vera–I did not understand what you were saying BUT then I caught my spelling error. lol. I was all like whats so strange about bangin on a coach smh…ReplyCancel
@derek. they might not have listed lilo's meds for hiv b/c she might not have been on them, intentionally. she seems like the type to live in denial on a permanent basis. so she might refuse the hiv drugs out of flat out denial… happensReplyCancel
I have to say I am kinda surprised many of the ladies here are familiar with what I am presuming a straight male porn stars.
So let's see, Lily Allen is in England, so does it have to mean the porn dude is English, or could he be from America? The only English straight male porns stars I know of are Johnny Anglais (he was Benedict on Big Brother UK). Despite the one name moniker, he is packing, and I could see him being a star fucker. Steve Hooper, also packing, but 2 names. The rest I know of are gay porn.
Hmm, okay how about Talon. He used to do gay under Lex Baldwin, then went to straight porn because his brother guilted him into it despite the fact he was making WAAAAY more money as gay for pay. He got some unfortunate plastic surgery, but he is packing.ReplyCancel
I would guess Mandingo.
Mr. Marcus/syphilis deal: Syphilis test results show either REACTIVE or NON REACTIVE. If you ever had syphilis, you will show as REACTIVE, whether the infection is active or not. Marcus tested hot, went to the Dr, got the antibiotics, canceled a shoot or 2, then 10 days later, after the Dr told him he was no longer contagious, he went back to work. He fudged his test to show NON REACTIVE, cause dude had bills to pay, so he needed to work.
Mr. Marcus put no one in danger and no one caught syphilis because of him. No one ever cared to trace back who Marcus got it from. Certain porn bloggers were happy to have a black scapegoat to hang the syphilis panic on. Marcus' agent at the time, shady buck toothed cunt Shy Love, chucked him right under the bus, too. This was all around the time there was an outbreak in Europe where 17 people tested hot for syphilis, so some whore who worked there or came over from there to work, probably gave it to him.
Talon's uncle is Dirty Harry. That dude is great. He brings a distinct level of creep/disturbing to a scene. Watch his scenes w/ Sasha Grey, and any other barely legal, or his Meatholes scene w/ Kerry Kraven, a tall, pale UK sub who can take a whoopin and a chokin like a champ.ReplyCancel
I ran this past some of my porn homies and someone guessed that Voodoo guy. The parachute jumping porn mope. One of you broads can Google and meatgaze to see if the equipment can be labeled "very very large".ReplyCancel
This is probably very wrong and very nerdy, but reading about Lily Allen hooking up with an endowed porn star makes me think of her brother, Alfie Allen, who plays the reportedly endowed and subsequently SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
(presumably) castrated Theon Greyjoy on Game of Thrones.
And this headline:
Lily Allen Turned Down Incestuous Role Opposite Brother Alfie Allen on Game of Thrones
And yeah, it's wrong.ReplyCancel
Lily Allen's brother's dick & a hot ginger whore.ReplyCancel
At least in Europe, Rocco os known as Rocco Siffredi, so no one-name there. And he's not very very big. There's only one name in my mind who fits the description: Mandingo.
Which makes me ask the next question. Mandingo is know for unloading on the face. Did Lilly Allen enjoy that "gift"? So, she's a nasty one? Good for her!ReplyCancel
Thanks Sherry and LowKey, always nice to think ur not an unwelcome gatecrasher!ReplyCancel
Hiya Lux!!Know what u mean about porn education,I learn so much from the good Count..what a man!ReplyCancel
@Lux bwaahaaaa!like throwing a sausage in a bin bag!!ReplyCancel
Always late to the party. Welcome, Tartan. I won't castigate you for misspelling my name. Always gentle with the new posters. Hi, TTM!ReplyCancel
Aw shucks Charlie,ur too kind!!love all ur foodie talk,its like porn to me!ReplyCancel
We have our own pornographologist. Handy.
Oh Mandingo is a facialist.ReplyCancel
Your knowledge of porn is epic. I bow down to you.ReplyCancel

Comments: I have mixed feelings. It's the most comfortable court shoe I have had, and I will buy again, but I'm
very dissapointed in durablilty. I only play once a week for 1-2 hours and in less than a year the mesh around the 'swoop' blew out
completely. My daughter had the same shoes and was playing daily for 1-3 hours, and the shoes only lasted 3 months before the
toes peeled off completely. She will never use model again but I need to because they actually fit me.
From: Wendy, 1/13
Comments: Poor durability, great comfort...what a quandry. I'm going to give this shoe one more chance. I had the
Mirabella 2 and within 6 months the mesh around the Nike emblem had torn. In less than a year they gave me zero support. Not
even good enough to wear in the garden. But they are the only court shoe that fits my wide foot so I am hoping Nike has
the mesh in the 3rd model.
From: Kae, 1/13
Comments: I do not recommend this shoes. My daughter used it for one month (plays 2 or 3 days a week) and it
torn in the front. She has a wide feet so she loves the shoes but they do not not hold up well.
From: Mimi, 7/12
Comments: I can not recommend these shoes either. I play once to twice a week and I had the same problem with
the tearing of the outside by the Nike emblem. Unfortunately, I have had this happen twice. First time, I got some wear out of
them before the tearing started, though it might be an isolated case, but ordered another pair, and the same thing happened but
sooner. I really liked these shoes since I have a wide foot and this is a rare Nike shoe with an above average toe box area. Like
the fit, but they just don't last.
From: Charla, 7/12
Comments: The colors are great and the fit was true to size, but they made my feet look like boats! They were so
wide on the sides. They also felt rather heavy and stiff compared to the other Nike's I bought at the same time to try. Sadly, they
will be returned.
From: Leslie, 6/12
Comments: As adorable as these shoes are, I can not recommend them. I wore them exactly 3 times on hard court
and the mesh on the sides of both shoes stretched right out and then ripped. They are now completely useless and they offer zero
support. They fit good, are light-weight, are true to size, are very cute, but don't plan to do anything more than walk around in
these shoes.
From: Sonja, 4/12
Comments: I love these shoes! They are very comfortable. They are very stylish and I like the mesh that lets air in
and easy on the feet.
From: Brandy, 12/11
Comments: Positives are that these shoes are extremely comfortable, have great
cushioning and don't require any break-in. The negatives are that the mesh started tearing after about 2 months, and the shoes
don't offer much support. Disappointing, because I really thought I would love these shoes.
From: Patty, 11/11
Comments: I really like the wider fit of these shoes; first time I've ever been able to wear Nike. The durability - not
so much. Like a lot of other commenters, after a couple months of playing an average of 4 times/week, the mesh started to tear.
At 4 months, they were so stretched out, I had to start wearing 2 pairs of socks just to get a snug fit. Just starting the 5th month
and I have to replace them. Wish I could find a pair that fits like these but wears like my old New Balance shoes.
From: Missy. 10/11
Comments: I would not recommend this shoe. I only wore them for about 2-3 weeks before the mesh started
From: Anon, 10/11
Comments: Great fitting but the side mesh has been torn by the Nike logo and I only had these shoes for 2 weeks! I
do not recommend!
From: Anon, 10/11
Comments: I would recommend not buying these shoes. The air pockets tore on the left shoe and they are starting
to tear! I think it is a very bad design! They lasted only 3 months or less for me.
From: Melamia, 10/11
Comments: These shoes didn't last me long at all. They began getting holes in the front and the mesh on the side
is torn. Don't support your feet well either. Not happy with these shoes, not going with Nike shoes from now on.
From: Andrea, 10/11
Comments: Bummer, I wore this shoes for about 3-4 months before the mesh on the sides
and the inside started ripping. I was actually thinking of getting a new pair because I was slipping a lot on the court and saw the
mesh on both sides of both shoes under the Swoosh torn.
From: JMH, 9/11
Comments: These were the first pair of Nike shoes that fit great, a little wider in the toe box. But I have already
loved them to death. They are ripping apart down by the Nike logo. I now have to replace them, much sooner than I had to replace
my old Prince shoes.
From: Eileen, 8/11
Comments: My 12-year-old daughter also tore the mesh sides. On the bright side, at least it lasted 8 months
before tearing.
From: Dennis, 8/11
Comments: I'll never buy these shoes again. These shoes have been worn by a 15 year old high school player and
the mesh sides tore within a month of use. On top of that, I found out today that Nike does not offer a warranty on them.
From: Dale, 8/11
Comments: I love this shoe but the mesh on the side started tearing within the second month of play. It doesn't
affect the way the shoe fits but just looks bad.
From: Iris, 8/11
Comments: These shoes were very comfortable for the first couple months but then they stretched out on the
inside. Unfortunately, they didn't hold up as I would have hoped.
From: Lori, 7/11
Comments: I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and supportive but because I play everyday, I have torn
through them. I wish they were more durable because, out of the shoes I've tried, they are the most comfortable. If you are an
intense player, do not buy these.
From: Teresa, 7/11
Comments: I bought these shoes for my daughter and they tore up in less than three months! She said they were
great in the beginning, but as time went on they fell apart. She plays tennis about 3 to 4 times a week.
From: Undra. 7/11
Comments: I loved these shoes are first, but about 4 weeks into my high school tennis season the toe had
completely ripped through and going into state I kept getting weird blisters where I hadn't before. So these shoes look great, but
don't perform.
From: Riley. 6/11
Comments: I wore these shoes for about a month during my school tennis, and they got tore apart after a month!
They also left my feet with blisters and sore after a lot of my matches.
From: Lauren. 6/11
Comments: Very comfortable right out the box. Have a wider front of the foot, but narrower heel. These shoes
actually fit, true to size.First time I've ever found Nike to be comfortable in a tennis shoe.
From: Kara. 5/11
Comments: I have been using the Adidas Barricades for years but now they make them half a sz bigger and I'm a
size 5 so can't get anything smaller. I spent months researching other shoes and decided on this shoe based on TW feedbacks.
I'm sorry to say that these shoes are horrible. I got blisters where I've never gotten before and my feet still hurt 3 days later. I'm
going to try to return it to Nike as I know I cannot return them to TW. Back to the drawing board and start looking for another
pair of shoes.
From: Reg. 5/11
Comments: I have had mine for maybe 4 months. I play every day, and my shoes have torn
apart, the toes are ripped, soles dead. My shoes are a mess. Do not buy these shoes if you are an intense player and need durable
shoes. They don't have side support either so its hard to run side to side.
From: Alyssa, Mystic, CT, USA. 5/11
Comments: Love, love these shoes! Very comfortable right out of the box, no break-in needed.
From: Anna, Washington, DC. 4/11
Comments: Finally, some Nike shoes I can wear again. I used to be able to wear the Breathe Free IIs, but after my
third child, I developed a neuroma in my foot and could not wear anything but the Barricades. I need a wide toebox but
something that provides some support and a bit more fitted in the arch area. The barricades were so heavy compaerd to the
Breathe Free. I tried several shoes, and i=I am so thrilled that these are going to work. They are light like the Breathe Frees, but
wider than standard Nike shoes. THANK YOU, Nike, for finally developing a shoe that has a wider toebox!
From: Kristin, Atlanta, GA, US. 4/11
Comments: The Nike Air Max Mirabella III are the best tennis shoes I have worn since I have been playing (the past
year and a half). I have wide feet and these shoes fit my wide feet without feeling tight. I was also having knee problems and
since I have been wearing these shoes the support has helped with by sore knee problem.
From: Stacey, Washington, DC, USA. 4/11
Comments: I love these shoes. They were extremely comfortable straight out of the box. I chose these shoes in
particular because I was slamming my toes in my old shoes (Nike cage something or other, can't remember). I haven't had any toe
discomfort in these due to the wider toe box. The shoes are wearing out quickly at the top of the toe box on my right shoe from
dragging my foot when I volley, but other than that these shoes are perfect.
From: Cari, Dallas, TX, USA, 03/11
Comments:Up until now, I've only ever gotten Nike Zoom breathe style shoes and have loved them until I tried on
the Mirabella III. The Mirabella is the most comfortable tennis shoe I've ever tried on and I absolutely love them! I have wide feet
and always needed to break-in the zoom breathe 2k10 but with these, no break-in required! I did however; have to get a 1/2 size
larger in these shoes.
From: Tina, CA, USA, 01/11
Comments: These shoes are actually really great! I've had loads of Nike tennis shoes before and they've all had
weeks of break-in time and wore out so quickly, but I took these out of the box and were perfect already! Great support, very
classy look, and they feel awesome.
From: Nina, WY, USA, 01/11


text: hi ladies. my ds is 2 months old, and this past week, I've noticed a change in feeding patterns. he's eating less at each meal (now it is one side for about 10 mins, he used to eat on both side for total of 25 mins). I know that as they grow, they can eat "faster".. when does "eating faster" happen, i thought it was at 4 months or smth? so far he has wet diapers, but they are not as wet as before. should I be concerned?
