Moving Experiences
Media Effects and Beyond 2nd Revised edition
By (author) David Gauntlett
Format: Paperback
Checking availability...
Moving Experiences by David Gauntlett
Book DescriptionA classic review of 'media effects' research, "Moving Experiences" is now revised and updated to include new chapters on David Gauntlett's creative approaches to understanding media influences. Television, movies and new media have been blamed for every kind of social problem and antisocial act, and countless studies have set out to quantify their harmful effects. Gauntlett argues that much of this blame is misplaced, and that the methodology used to justify it is deeply flawed. Screen media is a central part of modern social life, and an important influence upon how we see the world. But its 'effects' will necessarily be complex and indirect, whilst many of the ill effects attributed to screen media are really the result of more serious social problems.This second edition includes two all-new chapters on the creative research methods which Gauntlett has been developing in recent years, which offer an alternative way of exploring media influences. This book contains a revised version of the original research review, as well as the article 'Ten Things Wrong with the "Media Effects" Model,' which has become much-cited in media studies textbooks.

establishment of Afrikaner Bond
one of the first organized political parties of Cape Colony, Southern Africa, founded by the Rev. Stephanus Jacobus du Toit in 1879–80. In 1883 it amalgamated with Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr's Boeren Beschermings Vereeniging ("Farmer's Protection Association"). Du Toit attempted to create a pan-Afrikaner nationalist Bond with affiliated branches outside the Cape, but this effort...

So I wanted to go without my bipolar (type 2- hypomania not hypernmania) because I know that they are usually pretty heavy drugs. My medication is Lamictal it is safe while pregnant, unsafe while breastfeeding. I still wanted to try to avoid. However my mood swings have come back and I have started my meds again- unfortunately i have to start at a lower dosage and it takes a couple weeks to kick in. Any similar situations or just words of encouragement... I wanted to bf but idk if i can. I might look into switching so I can after LO is born.
Bipolar and pregnant
Did you go cold turkey or did you ween off of the meds? It may just be the extreme if you went from cold turkey, if the lower dose works I would stay with that and see if you can switch to another med while BFing.
But if the switching to BF is not possible then don't let it bother you. Sane mommy is important, your hormones will be all over the place, and that's hard enough as it is. There is always things like a milk bank if you want breast milk, and there is nothing wrong with formula.
I agree with Mary, nothing wrong with formula at all. Do what you can to stay sane.. you want a happy mommy and a happy baby and it's both combinations that will work!
I would say it's better for you to stay healthy so if taking the meds help you I would stay on them.
As for breastfeeding, if you really want to do it, I would switch medication at that time. b/f releases the "feel good hormone" so maybe that would help you also!
I'm lurking, but I have Bipolar 2 and have been able to mannage for several years on a low dose of Zoloft which is safe while pregnant and breastfeeding. It's not ideal, to be sure, but it helps and might be worth looking into. Ultimately, a sane mommy is more important than breast milk, so take care of yourself first.
1. HUGE HUGE hugs to you for reaching out for support and guidance! :bigarmhug:
2. I've been on Andi-Deps for a ridiculiously high number of years.. very high doses due to suicidal attempts throughout my life but dropped them cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant. It was one of the hardest things I had to deal with in the following weeks because of the complete drop off. But here I am, weeks and weeks later and still successfully off the medications. It's been a huge challenge but I have to pat myself on the back in the fact that I have reached out and gotten the help I needed from DH and family to stay focused on why life is worth living..
And that's my point in responding... Stay focused on what life is about.. and that is the happiness, health and well being of you, baby and family. If that means you can do it with no meds, by all means you've got support here for sure!! But if you feel you need them, then you have ALLL the support in the world for that route, too! Being in the right frame of mind as well as feeling up to par to handle the issues life throws your way is first and foremost.. all else will work itself out.
As said earlier.. this sums it up for me..
Ultimately, a sane mommy is more important than breast milk, so take care of yourself first
Adriana really said it well.
Big hugs and do what YOU feel is right, like pp's said - a healthy, happy you is the MOST important!
Thanks Ladies. so much! I went off them completely cold turkey. I know it wasn't a good idea but I didn't even know if they were ok to be on while pregnant and I thought they weren't... and then when I went to the Dr. 2 weeks later he said it was fine but I didn't wan tot take them for baby and I figured since I was off them already it was best to just stay off. I can't wait for them to kick in though... I did some searches on my lamictal to see. One of the sites said it is known to transfer through all milk (I saw that all the pschomeds do) but that the amount really varies by woman and stuff and that there haven't been an reported effects to the baby.. I'm going to keep looking into and talk to a psychiatrist and pediatric doctor and see what their professional opinions might be. But I do know that I REALLY want to bf... at least for awhile.. and that I'm ok mixing it with Formula but i want mainly boob.
Lamictal is one of the testable on blood levels, I know a lot of what they test on blood can also be done on breast milk. If maybe you are an early lactate-er maybe you can get your doctor to run the test and see if it is at a safe level?
Very difficult decision, best of luck to you. I know that breast milk is ideal, but many, many people (including me!) have been raised on formula and turned out quite functional and healthy, and just fine. So regardless of what you decide, healthy and happy mama and baby is the #1 most important thing.

Rules and structure are good for kids. But like almost everything in life, it's possible to have too much of a good thing. Too many rules and harsh consequences can backfire and increase a child's risk of certain problems.

Strict Parenting May Lead to Aggressive Behavior

Some research suggests that children who are raised by authoritarian parents are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior. A 2009 study published in Aggressive Behavior found that kids with authoritarian mothers behaved increasingly aggressive over time. When teachers were asked to rate children's behavior between the ages of 9 and 13, they reported that by age 13, the children exposed to harsh discipline became more aggressive than their peers.

School Performance May Suffer

Authoritarian parents often use shame-based discipline. A child who fails an exam may be subjected to a harsh lecture aimed at reminding him he "won't ever amount to anything in life if he doesn't improve his scores." Or, a child who forgets to do his homework may be told he should, "know better." Shaming a child can backfire as research shows children who experience shame for their misdeeds tend to perform poorly on problem-solving tasks. And children with poor problem-solving skills tend to struggle academically.

Too Many Rules My Interfere with Kids' Social Skills

Studies across a variety of cultures have found that children raised by authoritarian parents are more likely to experience social skill deficits. Children with strict parents tend to be less resourceful and less self-reliant than their peers.

It's likely that high demands combined with little nurturing decreases a child's ability to engage with other people in an assertive manner. A child who is encouraged to share his opinion at home, may struggle to express his thoughts and feelings to his friends.

Kids May Struggle with Moral Reasoning

Authoritarian parents don't explain the underlying reasons for their household rules. When a child asks why he can't go to his friend's house, an authoritarian parent may say, "Because I said so," rather than explaining why it's not a good idea. As a result, kids don't learn moral reasoning. They aren't able to process why something is unsafe or how their behavior affects other people.

Authoritarian parents don't encourage independent thinking. They usually don't trust kids to make healthy choices on their own. Consequently, kids often say things like, "I can't do that because my mom won't let me," versus, "I shouldn't do that because it's not safe."

Kids May Have More Emotional Problems

Several studies have linked authoritarian parenting to childhood psychological problems. A survey of middle-aged Americans found that people who grew up with authoritarian parents were more likely to experience poor psychological adjustment. Other research studies have concluded that children who are subjected to a lot of rules and little nurturing have difficulty regulating their emotions and may be at an increased risk of depression.

GERALD BURKE AND JAMES R. NOVAK, APPELLANTSv.LATROBE STEEL COMPANY, APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA (D.C. Civ. NO. 84-57)
Before ADAMS, GIBBONS, and WEIS, Circuit Judges.
Opinion OF THE COURT
WEIS, Circuit Judge.
This appeal presents another variation of the question whether the court or contractual arbitration is the proper forum for resolving pensioners' ERISA claims. In this case, although an arbitrator had ruled in favor of most of their plan interpretation contentions, plaintiff pensioners nonetheless pressed their allegation of statutory violations in the district court. We conclude that the arbitration requirement does not preclude resort to a judicial forum even though there may be a factual overlap between contractual and statutory claims. Accordingly, we will vacate a district court judgment which held that an arbitration award was a final resolution of the dispute.
After an arbitrator had decided that the employer had violated the terms of the collective bargaining agreement and pension plan, the company and the pensioners moved for summary judgment in the district court. The court granted the defendant company's motion and denied that of plaintiff pensioners.
This case grows out of a disagreement between plaintiffs, two former employees, and defendant company over its right to recall pensioners to work. Of the several forms of retirement which the terms of the bargaining agreement specify, the one at issue here is styled "The Rule of 65." Under that provision, an employee who has at least 20 years of continuous service and whose combined age and years of service total 65 or more may elect to retire if he is put on an extended lay off and the company fails to provide "suitable long term employment."
Having met the requirements under the Rule of 65, plaintiff Burke elected to retire in May 1983 and Novak followed suit in August 1983. In September of that year, the company recalled both men to work. They objected and returned under protest, contending that their recall was contrary to the collective bargaining agreement as well as the pension plan.
The plaintiffs' complaint in the district court alleged that defendant had violated ERISA and the terms of the pension plan. The proceedings were stayed while the parties submitted their dispute to an arbitrator pursuant to the plan. He ruled that under the collective bargaining agreement the company had no right to require a Rule of 65 pensioner to return to work against his wish. As a remedy, the company was directed to restore the basic pension benefits that had been withheld during the period of recall. The employees were permitted to keep the wages and benefits they had earned but were not entitled to a supplemental payment of $400 per month since the company had provided suitable employment during the recall period.*fn1
The district court concluded that the relief sought came within the coverage and meaning of the pension plan and that the arbitration had resolved the matters in dispute. Relying on Adams v. Gould, Inc., 687 F.2d 27 (3d Cir. 1982), the court entered summary judgment for defendant.
On appeal, plaintiffs contend that they have rights under ERISA independent of those conferred by the pension plan. They allege that the company, which acts as administrator of its own plan, violated the conflict of interest provision of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1106(b)(2), the anti-discrimination clause, 29 U.S.C. § 1140, and fiduciary obligations under 29 U.S.C. § 1104. In response, defendant argues that the only issue is the interpretation of the plan, and as to that matter the parties are bound by the arbitrator's award. As an alternative, the company asserts that even if independent statutory rights exist, plaintiffs in this case have failed to set forth a claim on which relief can be granted.
After the district court had acted on the case now before us, we had occasion in several appeals to address the relationship between claims under a pension plan and those under ERISA. Consequently, the district judge did not have the benefit of those opinions in coming to his decision.
In Viggiano v. Shenango China Div. of Anchor Hocking Corp., 750 F.2d 276 (3d Cir. 1984), we noted the frequent uncertainty about whether a controversy should proceed in a judicial forum under ERISA or by arbitration under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. We observed that "in the nature of things, at times, there is an overlap," id. at 279, but concluded that the employer's duty to fund the plan -- the issue there in dispute -- depended on interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement and therefore should be decided by arbitration. We stated, however, that if the arbitrator found that the employer did have a duty to fund the plan, the employees would then be free to present their ERISA claims to the court.
Barrowclough v. Kidder, Peabody & Co., Inc., 752 F.2d 923 (3d Cir. 1985), presented a similar problem. We again pointed out the distinction between statutory and contractual claims and observed, "ERISA neither completely supplants nor is completely subordinate to arbitration." Id. at 939. Claims seeking to enforce the terms of a pension plan and to recover benefits provided by it are subject to a contractually required arbitration process. Purely statutory issues, however, are not within the competence of an arbitrator and fall under the court's jurisdiction. See U.S. Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund v. McSkimming, 759 F.2d 269, (3d Cir. 1985). To the same effect, see Amaro v. Continental Can Co., 724 F.2d 747 (9th Cir. 1984); Air Line Pilots Ass'n Int'l v. Northwest Airlines, Inc., 200 U.S. App. D.C. 219, 627 F.2d 272 (D.C. Cir. 1980). See generally, Schneider, Surviving ERISA Preemption: Pension Arbitration in the 1980s, 16 Colum. J.L. & Soc. Probs. 269 (1980).
In Adams v. Gould, 687 F.2d 27 (3d Cir. 1982), the employer and union arbitrated the question whether a pension plan was properly funded. The arbitrator required the company to make additional contributions and formulated certain rulings with respect to benefits eligibility. The plaintiffs, who were active employees, contended that they had been treated unfairly when compared with retirees. We concluded that the company and the union had properly submitted the dispute to arbitration, as set out in the bargaining agreement, and that individual employees were bound by the award. Although defendant relies on that case here, Gould is distinguishable because the plaintiffs there did not raise separate statutory claims since the challenged conduct occurred before ERISA's effective date. See also appeal after remand Adams v. Gould, Inc., 739 F.2d 858 (3d Cir. 1984). That case is therefore not inconsistent with Viggiano and Barrowclough.
Underlying these cases is the basic premise that when Congress has provided a judicial remedy for the denial of certain statutory rights, that forum may not be denied through the arbitration provisions of a collective bargaining agreement. A trilogy of Supreme Court decisions has left no doubt on that score. See McDonald v. City of West Branch, 466 U.S. 284, 80 L. Ed. 2d 302, 104 S. Ct. 1799 (1984); Barrentine v. Arkansas-Best Freight System, Inc., 450 U.S. 728, 67 L. Ed. 2d 641, 101 S. Ct. 1437 (1981); Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co., 415 U.S. 36, 39 L. Ed. 2d 147, 94 S. Ct. 1011 (1974).
As noted earlier, the same factual situation may present separate claims under both ERISA and the pension plan. As the record now stands, that is the case here. The parties do not dispute that contractual claims were properly submitted to arbitration. That proceeding established that the collective bargaining agreement did not give the company the unilateral right to recall plaintiffs to work. In addition, the arbitrator's award determined that plaintiffs were entitled not only to the wages they earned during reemployment but to the basic pension benefits as well. These have already been paid by the company.
The arbitrator further found that plaintiffs had no right to any supplemental monthly payment. The pension plan provided that until a retiree reached 62, he would receive an additional payment of $400 per month above the basic pension but that the additional benefits "shall cease whenever the participant obtains suitable long term employment." That provision is not limited to employment with the company.
The arbitrator concluded that the jobs provided by the company, albeit over the plaintiffs' objections, satisfied the plan's exclusion. That interpretation was within the scope of the arbitrator's competence and therefore is binding on the parties. Although plaintiffs asked for partial summary judgment awarding them the amount of the supplementary payments which they had not received, the district court properly refused that claim because it had been denied in arbitration.
The nature of the defendant's motions in the district court is somewhat unclear. Defendant originally moved for summary judgment on the ground that the plaintiffs' claims were subject to arbitration. After the award was filed, defendant again filed a motion -- this time to dismiss because the action was moot.
Although the second motion was not so labeled, the district court treated it as one for summary judgment, no doubt because the arbitration award was a matter outside the pleadings having an important bearing on the case. As noted above, defendant was entitled to judgment on the contract claims that plaintiffs sought to press in court after losing before the arbitrator. However, since the award did not and could not resolve the ERISA claims, the defendant's motion in that aspect must be taken as one seeking dismissal for failure to state a claim. For that purpose, the allegations in the plaintiffs' complaint must be accepted as true.
The plaintiffs' ERISA claims are twofold: (1) the company as administrator breached its fiduciary duty by coercing the recall in violation of the pension plan, and (2) the company's direction to plaintiffs while not taking similar action with respect to workers under other retirement plans was discriminatory.
With respect to the first claim, a pensioner does not establish a violation of fiduciary duty simply by showing that the administrator did not follow the terms of the plan. If such action is undertaken pursuant to a good faith, albeit erroneous, interpretation. ERISA's fiduciary provisions are not violated. To establish liability, willful or bad faith conduct must be proved. See Challenger v. Local Union No. 1, 619 F.2d 645 (7th Cir. 1980). Thus, in Delgrosso v. Spang & Co., 769 F.2d 928 (3d Cir. 1985), we held that the employer, as administrator, had violated its fiduciary duty by attempting to secure for itself excess sums in the pension fund despite clear and unambiguous language to the contrary in the collective bargaining agreement.*fn2
In this case, the plaintiffs' complaint alleges that defendant, as administrator, "willfully terminated the pensions of the plaintiffs" solely to meet its needs as an employer. Construing this allegation broadly, as must be done at this stage of the proceeding, we believe plaintiffs have made a sufficient averment of bad faith to survive a motion to dismiss. If plaintiffs can show that they were recalled in bad faith, then liability under Delgrosso will be established.
On the record as it now stands, plaintiffs may well have an uphill battle in proving their claim. Apparently some uncertainty existed about the company's right to recall a worker from a Rule of 65 retirement. The union asserted that the pensioners had the right to return to work if they chose but could not be forced to do so. Indeed, some pensioners who were recalled at the same time as plaintiffs accepted the reemployment without objection, while four did not. The collective bargaining agreement does not specifically set out the employer's right to recall. This contrasts with Delgrosso where we found "not the slightest ambiguity in the anti-reversion clause of the pension agreement."
In addition, we observe that the plaintiffs' argument that the company "profited" because it did not have to pay the monthly supplement during the reemployment period is flawed. The arbitrator's finding that the employees were not entitled to those payments under the terms of the pension plan demonstrates that the company did not "profit" when such payment was withheld. Moreover, it seems that the trust fund, not the employer as such, benefited by not having to pay the supplement.
Even if we thought plaintiffs unlikely to prevail on remand, we would not be permitted to prejudge the case at this procedural stage. The record is not fully developed, and we cannot say that plaintiffs will be unable to present additional evidence in support of their claim of fiduciary breach. Similarly, the allegation of discrimination has yet to be developed on the record. That claim, too, must be reexamined.
We are aware that the lure of attorney's fees, which can accompany an award for violation of ERISA, may encourage plaintiffs who are disappointed in the result of an arbitration proceeding to dress their contractual claim in the garb of an ERISA violation and file in court. Nonetheless, we amy not overlook the policies underlying the Barrentine line of cases and must protect the rights conferred by ERISA. The solution lies in careful scrutiny by the courts to insure that rights are protected but that abuses are not tolerated.
The judgment of the district court will be vacated and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

The MMX300 should be good through the Mixamp alone, but what concerns me is that if its anything like the DT880 32 and 990 32, they WILL want more power, as those two are harder to drive than the 250ohm variants. Not in volume, as they get loud faster, but in driving force. The 990 32 loved the E9K, and improved vs unamped/Mixamp alone.

Just got the Astro A50 in. Christmas came early!
So far just finished hooking it up, and I have to say... I like the sq on the Slyr more. SO FAR. I only just heard some music when selecting a game on the PS3 XMB, so this shouldnt be taken seriously yet. Paired up chat, and the mic is very, very good from the testing on the PS3 chat tweaking.post #9438 of 3746312/7/12 at 4:13pm

I have been on the Astro forums, and alot of people are having issues with their mixamp and/or headset. I haven't seen any of those big problems in my testing, luckily. The firmware was just to fix the low sensitivity on the microphone, and some people reported more issues after upgrading their firmware, so I avoided it. PLUS, I was able to troubleshoot the mic such that it operated nicely for me.
I just hope my mmx300 (coming next week ) isn't underpowered by the mixamp as I already have too much money invested in my gaming setup. Lol
I was on there too awhile back. That's good. Smart of you. Haha, you have too much money invested in your gaming setup? How much? Lol, mine is nearing a grand, all for PS3 too, haha, even though I've been a smart, thrifty shopper.post #9439 of 3746312/7/12 at 5:44pm

Those Slyr's only go down to 32 and the a50 and plyr go down to 20. Can't help but look at the specifications and think the Plyr models have the same driver as the 2013 a40's and a50's.

The A50s are wireless which is already an uphill battle. Wired headphones always have an advantage in sound quality.
Not enough testing yet (just woke up), but I wasn't thrilled with the 3 EQ presets on the A50s. 3 makes it super boomy and borderline unusable, 1 makes it cold and analytical, and 2 being the most balanced didn't sound right to my ears. If anything, the first preset has the best SQ in that it's detail oriented. However, the Slyr's innate sound signature is well balanced, with a tilt towards fun, and is pleasureable. It has a signature that screams all rounder. It may not possibly be technically superior, but it's more engaging, from the little I heard of both.
You can make a $10,000 headphone and a $20 one, and if the $20 has a better tonal balance, it won't matter how technically perfect the $10,000 one is.
Again, that was a VERY brief impression on the A50s. No real testing yet. I did test the Slyr for hours upon hours. I was immediately pleased with the Slyr though. Music, TV, and gaming all impressed me.
The A50s... I have a feeling I'm only going to like them for competitive gaming with the first preset, but we'll see.

Is the old Astro Mixamp still the best thing to buy for the Xbox 360? I bought a Xbox on Black Friday and I need something for Dolby and chat processing.
Doesn't matter about the amp on the mixamp since it will be plugged into my Meier Concerto to power my headphones.
Thanks.post #9442 of 3746312/7/12 at 7:04pmThread Starter
Probably any Mixamp that isn't the 2013 (haven't heard it yet, but I hear it's hissy). The Mixamp 5.8 is comparable to the old Mixamp with a bit of hiss, and less versatility, though the wireless is good.post #9443 of 3746312/7/12 at 7:22pm

Hey Mad, how would you compare the sound quality of the SLYR to the CAL?post #9444 of 3746312/7/12 at 7:23pmQuote:
Well I am incredibly thrifty as well haha, so retail price wise I have atleast 700 into my gaming setup. I have a smaller tv ( better for competitive play) so thats most likely the main difference between our setups.
I play ps3 as well :) What headset are you using?Quote:Originally Posted by Mad Lust Envy

Cool, thanks for the input! I appreciate it. My subwoofers in my car are wired to 2 ohms, and they need a badass amp to push them, so now that i think of it why would they make the gaming headsets a lower ohm load then the other headsets, if these gaming headsets are supposed to be more versatile. (ie for ipods and a wide variety of sound sources) Wouldn't that just make them harder to push?Quote:
How do we check for the "hiss"? I haven't heard any hiss and I have been doing a good deal of testing on my 2013 mixamp.ie. I have turned the volume up pretty high during silent parts in game, and didn't run into hiss.post #9445 of 3746312/7/12 at 7:55pm

Dont have enough time with the Slyr yet, and im gonna try and borrow the CAL from my stepfather over the weekend. So far, the CAL has a better soundstage and sound quality, but might be more obtrusive in the bass than the Slyr. Stay tuned, so I can form a valid comparison.post #9447 of 3746312/7/12 at 8:20pm

What headphones are you using? I A/B'd them with the older mixamp I got from a member and an AD700, and the hiss was noticable at about ~60% volume compared with ~90% on the older one. I got that one about 100 pages back before they were officially announced, so maybe they fixed it recently.

Steelseries Cross Platform Audio Mixer. They will be back in stock in "the beginning of January." NO ONE has them. Not Ebay, not any retailer, not Amazon, so you'll have to buy directly from the website, unless when they get stock back in, the retailers buy some as well.
Thanks man. I actually saw this thing a week ago and thought it was weird it was OOS. Where did you get the info that it would be back in stock in Jan? Is this thing highly sought out for?post #9450 of 3746312/8/12 at 4:51amThread Starter
I have to eat my words. I just got home and hooked up the A50s directly to my desktop PC through it's optical out. MUCH better impression of them. Please disregard the first impression I had of them. They sound decent for music, atm, albeit a bit mid recessed, and quite bassy in comparison to the Slyr. Again, brief first (second) impressions, so stay tuned for a more thorough opinion of them in the days to come.

I also got the presets confused. Preset 1 is bass enhanced, preset 2 is flat, and preset 3 is treble enhanced. FWIH, the differences in stereo while listening to music seems to be negligible, or maybe even off. It seems that the presets work only through Dolby Headphone. I'll ask Astro directly, as I can't hear the difference, but it was obvious in DH. I can't even turn on DH while connected to the PC, which I assume is because the Mixamp has to find a Dolby Digital signal to allow it.
Currently have:
Slyr -> E17 (USB) -> PC
A50 -> PC (Optical)
The main difference between the Slyr and A50 that I hear is that the A50s have a bigger soundstage in stereo (haven't tested them for gaming yet). The Slyr sounds constricted in it's soundstage in comparison, though the actual audio quality is still good, and more focused than the A50s. The vocals are considerably more forward on the Slyr. The A50s's bass is a bit too heavy, personally. Very unlike how I remember the first gen A40s, which was bass light.
Also notice the Astro A50's internal DAC only accepts 16/48 in the sound properties. Not that it matters as the vast majority of content is 16/44 or 16/48 anyways.
First round for music: Slyr over the A50s.
Also wanna mention the SLYR sounds brighter than the A50s. Probably due to the tighter bass and forward mids.
edit: Just did an update on the A50's transmitter as well as the headset. Wonder what the changes will bring.

Monday, September 29, 2014 5:37 PM EDT
interview with Australia's TV Week Soap Extra, "The Young and the Restless'" Michael Muhney (ex-Adam Newman) has point blank denied the allegations that he groped the breasts of one of his former co-stars, which was reportedly the reason show producers opted to drop him from his contract last December.

Beef & Beer Pies
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 25 mins
What could be more Aussie than the humble meat pie with the addition of another Aussie favourite..beer! I found this recipe in the Herald Sun & just had to give it go. For convenience the meat filling can be made up to 3 days in advance & refrigerated.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 onions, diced
- 150 g bacon, chopped
- 600 g premium beef mince
- 200 g mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 1⁄2 cup red wine
- 1 1⁄2 cups beer
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- puff pastry
- Preheat oven to 200.C.
- Saute onion & bacon until onion softens & bacon is cooked, set aside.
- Add mince to pan and cook until browned, add mushrooms and cook until soft.
- Return onion & bacon to pan and add flour, cook stirring for 3 minutes.
- Add wine & beer & simmer until most of the liquid has reduced to a sauce consistency.
- Add worcestershire sauce & parsley.
- Spoon mixture into individual pie dishes, cover with pastry, (brush with egg or milk if you like) & bake about 20 mins or until pastry is well risen, golden & crisp.
- NB/ If you choose to make fully enclosed pies, pastry top & bottom, allow mixture to cool before spooning into pastry otherwise it will become soggy.
Most Helpful
Good combination of flavors. Next time I would use 1/2 as much bacon (personal taste).
Made this is as a full pie (enough for 6 to 8 easy). Did omit the onions due to allergy issues and subbed beef stock for the red wine. I think it would have been better still if I had used a more robust beer such as a stout instead of the Hahn Ice I used. Will make again but buy the right beer for it, instead of using what the DH has there. Thank you Mandy, made as a recipenap for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #19 August 2008.
Loved it! these were tasty indeed... I liked the red wine and beer additions but would use less red wine next time , just for personal preference. I made mine with just the pastry tops, next time I will make a full pie with bottoms as well. I also omitted the mushrooms since I'm allergic to those but don't think that the ommission would have detracted from it in any way. Please see my rating system: a wonderful 4 stars for a yummy recipe. Thanks!

Residents of our country have always celebrated Independence Day July Fourth with a bang. This year will be no exception as communities all across the nation will hold birthday celebrations for the United States with parades and fireworks displays. When it comes to fireworks, however, their operators are professionals and displays should be left in their hands only. In 1999, according to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, approximately 8,500 people suffered fireworks-related injuries severe enough to require emergency room treatment. Nearly 40 percent of those injured were under age 14.
To help prevent fireworks injuries to children, parents should read and take to heart these safety tips:
Teach children about the physical danger of fireworks. Without using scare tactics, explain to youngsters that fireworks are not toys and can cause serious permanent damage such as blindness, hearing loss and disfigurement as well as result in the loss of fingers and hands.
Fireworks should never be touched. Children should never approach or touch any type of fireworks or be in an area where amateurs are using fireworks. They should be instructed to leave such areas immediately and notify an adult who should then contact the fire department or police department.
Sit back and enjoy the professional displays. The safest way to enjoy the Fourth of July is to let the pros handle the fireworks displays. Adults and children should give the pros plenty of room to work and adhere to all safety regulations and signs.
Provide alternate ways to celebrate. Give children noisemakers, hats, horns, confetti and streamers with which to celebrate. This will keep them entertained an d out of harms way.
Set a good example. Since children often mirror adult behavior, it is important to act responsibly when dealing with fireworks and all heat sources. Do not permit children to use any fireworks, including sparklers which can burn as hot as 1,200 degrees and can cause serious burns or ignite clothing.
Use of any type of fireworks is a violation of state law in New Jersey and police remind residents that anyone caught using them is subject to prosecution.

There is no more Countrywide Financial. That company, a major player in the subprime market for much of the decade's housing boom, will now simply be called Bank of America Home Loans.
Bank of America, which bought the troubled mortgage lender last year, said the change will offer homeowners "greater clarity in the home finance process."
In fact, the bank has renamed its one-page loan summary presented to borrowers the Clarity Commitment. The bank said it will contain interest rate, terms and other details of the loan in plain language.
"We met with thousands of customers and created tools that reflect the transparency they want in the home-buying process," said Barbara Desoer, president, Bank of America Home Loans. "Doing the right thing for our customers is the foundation of our brand promise to always be a responsible lender and help create successful homeowners, and these tools exemplify that promise."
Provided both at application and at closing, the Clarity Commitment document, says Bank of America, is available on most new purchase and refinance transactions, including traditional and government-backed loans.
In addition, the company said it has introduced the Bank of America Home Loan Guide as part of the new Bank of America home loans Web site.
By explaining key data inputs, highlighting "rules of thumb" and tips with each step, and providing context around the results, the guide is supposed to give consumers relevant, personalized information that helps them understand their options and make informed decisions.
"Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions an individual makes, and we take seriously our responsibility to educate customers and arm them with the information they need to make smart decisions," said Desoer. "Especially in this environment, it's important that consumers understand the true, comprehensive costs of homeownership so they can buy a home and enjoy it with confidence."
Bank of America Home Loans said it is also introducing Flat Fee Mortgage Plus through the 6,100 Bank of America banking centers. A new mortgage product, Flat Fee Mortgage Plus has no application fee and one single closing fee that represents the lender and other fees required for third-party services. The product features a close-on-time guarantee and best value guarantee.
The Countrywide brand may not be missed by either Bank of America or consumers. Last year Countrywide settled with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, agreeing to make $345 million in total benefits available to Texas homeowners. The restitution program was set up for homeowners who lost their homes due to foreclosure.

This workbook teaches through story, examples, exercises, meditations, and daily practices how to develop greater levels of harmony with the parts of your self – body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Title: The Holy Grail of Health
Ever wondered what the Bible has to say about living a healthy life?
Did you know the Bible has a wealth of health information and teaches us what foods we are to eat and which to avoid in order to avoid getting sick with cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other diseases?
- We'll also discuss the great age old controversy about pork. Is bacon, ham or pork chops good for us to eat?
- Would you eat the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag or your garbage disposal?
- You'll also discover that exercise is also instructed by your Father if you want to live a healthy life. This body was meant to move and not sit on a chair and couch all day! Remember "if you don't use it, you will lose it", and that applies to your body as well. Lack of exercise is one of your worst health enemies but the remedy is so simple. We don't tell you to hit the gym and do heavy weight lifting; a simple 3 mile walk is all the body needs!
- You'll also find out which commonly eaten meat can cause parasites and diseases to be easily transmitted to humans like trichinosis, cysticercosis, and brucellosis. Yuk!
- The major illnesses and diseases of today are 80% preventable; we can cut the death rate now by offering our food intake to the proper food. What is it then that we should eat? God has given us a guideline for the foods that we should avoid.
- This eBook will also tell you which meats are safe

Title: Drug Abuse in Scripture (From Whence Hath it Tares?)
Author: JHM
An analysis of Drug Abuse in Scripture and other extra-Biblical Literature. It is often believed that the Bible has no direct mandate concerning drug abuse, and indeed where the English version, at least concerning our subject is still basically a mediaeval translation this may appear true. However modern lexicography placed together with certain sections of the New Testament and the extra-Biblical Didaché or 'Teaching of the Twelve Apostles' make it quite clear that the Old Testament and the Early Church had a clear teaching concerning drug and substance abuse. The apocryphal Book of Enoch (sometimes called 'The Lost Prophet') also cites drug abuse as a 'dark art' taught to mankind by the fallen angels of Genesis chapter six. Where the essay also deals with extra-Biblical account of child sacrifice as it relates to substance abuse in ancient times parental guidance is advised. Price: FREE
