I havn't been able to stand them, I had the clamping issue for a while but that isn't as bad now but still worse than Superlux 669's.
Everything about the headphone is good, however there is something in the high end which causes me to have a headache each time i use them, which makes them unusable for me. Which is a shame since everything else about them is pretty impressive.

The Holy Year - level 2
07-09-2015 07:00
Pope Francis is the first non-European pope in 1,300 years. He has shown his tolerance towards topics like homosexuality. The pope said that the Holy Year will start on December 8th, and that mercy will characterise it.
Until now, the Catholic Church automatically excommunicated women who had abortions. The situation will change during the Holy Year. Pope Francis will give all priests the discretion to forgive women who had an abortion.
Tourists outside the Vatican said that this is positive news. One person said that people change, so the church must change, too.
Difficult words: mercy (forgiveness), excommunicate (to punish someone by no longer allowing him or her to be a member of the Roman Catholic church), discretion (the freedom to decide).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Welcome to my ever-changing site.
I am a Commercial Photographer and being based on the Sunshine Coast, much of my photography is created there, in Brisbane and the Hinterland.
My passion for photography is multi-faceted ranging across aerial, landscape, architecture and the built environment (which also encompasses retail and real estate). Landscape being one of my favourite genres, the Australian environment features largely.
I studied photography and achieved a Diploma in Photo Imaging at Sunshine Coast Technical College in 2014. That year I joined the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers as a student and in 2015, after achieving a standard of professionalism in image, business ethics and practice I was accepted as an Accredited Professional Photographer of the Institute. During this period I was awarded silver medals at AIPP State and National Competitions in student, emerging and accredited membership categories. I joined the AIPP as I believe a professional photographer one need to be associated with a governing organisation that ensures a level of continuous professional practice and a code of ethics where members are bound by the highest standards. I believe this provides customers with peace of mind for a totally professional outcome.
I am committed to my professional practice and I will ensure that you, the customer, are completely satisfied with my product and service. For information about contract terms and conditions please click the link on the links page.
If you are reading this I imagine you may also have a passion for photography or perhaps a commercial interest, so I look forward to reading your comments. Please come back often as my work and site are constantly evolving.

There aren't a lot of levers left for J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) to pull in the short term that might meaningfully move the company's stock price higher. SG&A has been cut about as much as it can and is holding steady at around $1B per quarter. Without new stores and big increases in SG&A, gross sales can only increase so much, even if the economy continues to improve ever so gradually. And easy sales comps will become harder to come by as time goes by and the missteps of the Johnson era fade further into the past.
The one metric to watch out for is Gross Margin, and this is a sleeper that could awaken the stock big time in the next couple of quarters. I'm actually surprised that more upgrades didn't follow last quarter's earnings, especially given the forward-looking nuggets that J.C. Penney Management was dropping on the conference call.
Let's take a look at a few of these and see what they might portend for Gross Margin performance moving forward.
CEO Myron "Mike" Ullman:
Selling more merchandise at the promotional price and less at the clearance price, now that we've edited out the unproductive brands that was accretive to our gross margin. We expect to continue to improve gross margins by managing clearance in a more effective way. Our private brands are now fully in stock."
Translation - Even with a greatly-improved 33% Gross Margin number for the quarter, J.C. Penney is just now finally breaking free from the "unproductive brands" that were holding it back. If 33% is representative of a business that at the time was still partly handicapped by Johnson-era goods, one can only imagine what that number will be moving forward in a merchandising scheme that isn't weighed down by a sub-optimal product mix.
CFO Ed Record:
Gross margin was negatively impacted by increased clearance sales as a percent of total in February-March as well as negative clearance margins on those clearance sales."
Translation - The 33% Gross Margin number was in spite of increased clearance sales designed to flush out the last of the Johnson-era merchandise.
And if you need any further evidence, it doesn't get clearer than this, from Ullman:
While we're pleased with our gross margin progress this quarter, we recognize there is still lot of room for improvement. Looking ahead, we anticipate further gross margin expansion in the second quarter."
What would 36% Gross Margins for 2014 mean for J.C. Penney?
Back in February of this year I wrote an article backing up my statement that, "with revenues of $12.85B, SG&A of $3.75B, sss increase of 6-7%, and gross margins of 36%, the path to $800M in EBITDA is straightforward and doable." I was lambasted by the bears and shorts, and accused by some in the comments to my article as being unreasonable, and that 36% was an outlandish number. Oh how things have changed! While it doesn't look like we'll quite get to $3.75B in SG&A, we're already at 6% same-store sales increase and 33% Gross Margin, with lots of room left in 2014 to get into the mid-to-high 30s.
If in fact the new Sephora stores, better merchandising, and an improving economy can nudge sales into the vicinity of $13B for 2014 - which I believe is quite doable - then 36% Gross Margins for 2014 puts J.C. Penney comfortably into the black, if my math serves me right.
How High Can Gross Margins Get in 2014?
To get to 36% for the full year, Gross Margins would probably need to be in the high 30s for the balance of the year. So is that doable? Comparing J.C. Penney's historical Gross Margin performance to that of Macy's (NYSE:M) over the last decade or so tells an interesting story and I believe answers the question in the affirmative. Macy's actually provides a good benchmark because of its steady performance over time.
Macy's vs. J.C. Penney Gross Margin
The Johnson-era business strategy shift starting in 2011 can be clearly seen in the above chart, as can Ullman's gutsy course correction. All things being equal - and Macy's provides that good, steady yardstick - there is no reason to believe that J.C. Penney cannot quickly return to the 37-39% Gross Margin range now that the business model is being returned to pre-Johnson form. There are those who argue that this isn't possible now with more competition, but Macy's holding steady and even increasing its Gross Margins completely invalidates this line of thinking. If the macro environment were fundamentally changing against Brick & Mortar in a way that would cripple Gross Margins, we would be seeing an impact on Macy's as well, which we are not. If anything, Macy's omni-channel strategies are improving their bottom line.
Is 36% Gross Margin Priced Into The Stock?
So the next question is whether or not Mr. Market already believes JCP will get to black ink in the next couple of quarters on the back of 36%+ Gross Margins. I believe the answer is authoritatively NO, and that the stock is still priced as a distressed asset. I conclude this by comparing JCP to some of its peers based on two important valuation metrics, Price/Book and Enterprise Value/Revenue.
Clearly, JCP is grossly undervalued at these levels, IF you buy into the idea that the company will be in the black anytime soon. And that's where I think the market is making a mistake on JCP, a mistake that can be capitalized on as it becomes even clearer that the company can meaningfully pull the Gross Margin lever.
Bottom Line
Management's comments during the last earnings call definitively suggest that 33% Gross Margin performance was still heavily handicapped by low margin goods and the clearance sales needed to wipe them away. However, institutions and other large buyers clearly want more evidence of this before bidding JCP higher, given that the stock is still priced as a distressed asset. How much more evidence is needed before the investing public fully awakens to the fact that J.C. Penney is no longer walking dead?

Mercedes-Benz is apparently preparing for a new line of models to slot below the A-Class, to better compete with MINI.
Tag: small cars
Has Mini's over-propagation of vehicles gotten so bad that we're actually cheering when a new special isn't a silly two-seater or pseudo-crossover? The Mini John Cooper Works GP may be overpriced, but at least it's got its heart in the right place.
What do Buick, Volvo, Infiniti, Mini, Cadillac, Lincoln, Suzuki and Scion have in common? All were outsold by Fiat in Canada last month.
"We tried to teach dealers how to calibrate conversations," Mr. Martin said. "Stop trying to be cool and give them the fist pump. They can tell you don't get it.
Journalism profs would admonish us for "burying the lede", or hiding the most important information way down in the story, rather than putting it at the front where it's easily accessible. Amy Chozick of the New York Times put that gem at the very end of her article on how General Motors is hiring consultants from MTV, including Ross Martin, quoted above, to help their brand connect with young people. Mr. Martin, take your own advice.
The Fiat 500L may be joined by another Fiat product, but the brand's North American head said that it won't necessarily resemble the 500 vehicles.
Pop quiz; what do increased production, lots of cash on the hood and high gas prices mean for Honda dealers? Lots of Civics moving out the door.
Today is Wagon Day, a brand-new made up holiday when North Americans are tortured with photos of wagons that will not be available to us despite our endless pleas. First up, the Volvo V40.
The new Kia Cee'd may have a stupid name, but everything else about the car looks pretty attractive. Well, maybe not the grille. They also refrained from releasing any specs at all alongside these photos, so you'll have to wait until March's Auto Show to get the scoop. The Forte is a little dated by now, to the point where it's hard to justify buying one over a Rio, let alone an Elantra – how about it, Kia?
Press release and gallery below
Toyota is launching a hybrid version of the Yaris, and will likely be the European substitute for the Prius c/Aqua that Bertel drove just last week.
Canadians already bought the Honda Civic in droves, so it would make sense that another unloved car, the Fiat 500, would do well in a country that favors smaller, more European vehicles, right? Sort of.
My two weeks in Europe has drawn to a close, and I'm back at my familiar desk, in front of my familiar computer, catching up on all the automotive happenings I missed, contemplating my transition out of TTAC's day-to-day leadership, and reflecting on all I saw over my whirlwind two weeks. And though you haven't heard from me much in the last two weeks, rest assured that I have not forgotten TTAC, nor have I missed any opportunities to accumulate impressions from the automotive landscape of modern Europe.
In contrast to rapid changes in the compact and midsized segments, the subcompact segment is moving along established trendlines. Kia's Soul has completely overtaken this segment's previous champ, but that's been a long time coming. A new Accent is arriving at dealers, and that model's starting to take off… in fact, if there's news here, it's that the Accent appears to be outselling the segment's next-freshest offering, the Ford Fiesta. Otherwise, Aveo and Rio are dropping off ahead of their replacement by new models, the 500 is getting closer to MINI's monthly volume, and Mazda2 can't quite get past the Cube The YTD chart doesn't show too many changes either… but watch this space as the A/B segment heats up with new models later this year.

text: Wimbledon: Jennifer Capriati won the first singles match at a rain-interrupted Wimbledon and advanced to the fourth round today. The seventh-seeded Capriati beat Dechy 7-5 6-1 in one hour, 12-minutes on Court one. Capriati was consistent, while Dechy, seeded 25th, had six double-faults and 20 unforced errors. Yesterday was a complete washout, the second of the tournament. Wimbledon opened its gates on the traditional rest day for only the third time in 118 tournaments and "People's Sunday" began with a trademark example of a British queue. The championship was about 120 matches behind schedule after six days, forcing Wimbledon organisers to stage matches on the middle today for the first time since 1997. About 2,000 people camped on the sidewalk overnight and thousands more joined the queue from around dawn to get Centre Court and Court one tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. The prime seats are usually either reserved for high-priced corporate hospitality packages or restricted to a public ballot. (AP)

The housing market has taken off as rock-bottom interest rates send investors and first home-buyers competing for a limited number of property listings.
Pent-up demand combined with record-low interest rates have seen some buyers face a long search for a suitable property.
And an economist has warned people against taking on unsustainable debt as mortgage rates as low as 4.75 per cent spur renters to buy their first homes.
Data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand shows 7175 unconditional sales in May - an increase of 26.4 per cent compared to April.
Sales across New Zealand were up 24.4 per cent compared to May last year, with Auckland's sales volume increasing 27.6 per cent over the same period.
Reinz chief executive Helen O'Sullivan said feedback from members was that, while still much below demand, there had been an increase in listings recently.
Low long-term interest rates, often targeted at people with good equity, was another factor.
"There's also an increase in confidence ... there's not a fear now that if you buy now you'll be catching the fall of the market," Ms O'Sullivan said.
"Prices are stable to rising, and that makes it a reasonably good time to put your stake in the ground and purchase."
The latest QV index, released yesterday, shows nationwide property values rose in May.
Auckland led the way with values up 1.2 per cent over the past month.
Values in the old Auckland City are now 7.4 per cent higher than the same time last year and 6.5 per cent above the previous market peak in 2007.
"This more widespread increase in values is in contrast to two or three months ago when values in many areas appeared to be flattening off," said QV research director Jonno Ingerson.
"First-home buyers and investors remain active in many parts of the country, attracted into the market by low interest rates and perceived affordability.
"There are now buyers who have been looking for a house for some time and either cannot find something that meets their needs, or are being out-bid by other keen buyers."
As well as central Auckland, property values in areas such as Rodney, North Shore and Waitakere had risen fast in the past three months.
QV Auckland valuer Glenda Whitehead said in central Auckland the market was predominantly in the $700,000 plus bracket.
In west or southwest Auckland demand was strong from buyers with around $400,000 to spend.
Ms Whitehead said people wanting to buy in more popular suburbs often needed to adjust their expectations and look further afield.
Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens said low mortgage rates meant the calculation between renting and buying had swung in the favour of buying.
"Observing the housing markets tell you that interest rates can't be kept this low forever."
Mr Stephens predicted that over 2013-2015 rates would rise much higher than markets would be prepared for.
"I've got a real concern that interest rates are going to rise far further than people are prepared for.
"Some people taking on loans now to buy houses might find those loans difficult to service when interest rates rise."
Rising prices spur first time buyers into action
A property market trending upwards meant Sean Cameron and Tineke van der Walle knuckled down in their search for a first home.
The couple, both 27, settled on a three-bedroom house in Mt Albert last weekend.
"[Interest rates] are good at the moment ... and we were wanting to get into the market because we knew it was going up and up," Mr Cameron said.
They had been saving all they could manage over the past year but bought after only about a month of intense house hunting, he said.
"We definitely got into it a lot faster than we imagined ... it really kicked us into gear, seeing prices going up, it motivated you to do your homework and get out there.
"With renting, we didn't want to pay somebody else's mortgage. And [rent] is going up anyway."
Mr Cameron said they bought their home through negotiation, after their hopes were quickly dashed at a previous auction.
The owners of a two-bedroom property in Three Kings put the property on the market at auction for $500,000 - but it went for about $560,000.

A New York Times Bestseller
Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper. But her bosses are making her write about them anyway, despite the fact that she doesn't believe in them.
Not that Meena isn't familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you're going to die—not that you're going to believe her. No one ever does.
But not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets—then makes the mistake of falling in love with—Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side. It's a dark side that makes a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire hunters, want to see him dead.
The problem is, Lucien's already dead. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met whom she could see herself having a future with. While Meena has always been able to see everyone else's future, she has never been able look into her own. And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare.
Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future—if she even has one.

I love being able to watch live music. It's so much more personal than seeing a band perform at either a festival or just listening to them at home. I find that it's even better when you can watch at a smaller venue, because it almost feels like they're doing a private performance for you and your friends.
The Mouse Outfit are a hip-hop, funk and reggae band from Manchester founded in 2008, and initially formed as a band and started to produce sounds with a number of musicians and vocalists. The band started gigging locally around the UK. After uploading a track to BBC introducing they were asked to perform a session at BBC Maida Vale Studio for the Mark Lamarr show on BBC Radio 6. Sparkz and Dr Syntax started working with the band having featured on some recorded tracks and soon became a regular member of the live show. Their album 'Escape Music' was released in 2013.
I've been fortunate enough to see them perform a couple of times thanks to the team at Rocksteady & Reasons bringing them over to various different events, but I have to say the performance at Havana was the best one yet.
Their performance was electric and they had everyone dancing and singing along. I can't wait to see what the future has planned for this band as they're destined for great things.
Be sure to check them out online here or follow what they're up to on Twitter or Facebook or Snapchat - The Mouse Outfit.
