Having banged-on about how the Noontec Zoro are not quite the carbon copy of the Monster Beats Solo HD they appear to be, it's time for a change of tact. The Zoro have a far more balanced sound than the Beats that's much easier on discerning ears. In fact, they sound nothing like them, in a good way.
Noontec gives a nod to this split off in inspiration on its website. In a spectacular feat of English language mangling, it reads "better sound quality than German headphone", presumably referring to Sennheiser rather than Monster - which is an American company.
The sound signature of the Zoro headphones is not at all bass-skewed as we first expected, but fairly neutral, boasting excellent clarity for an entry-level set. From a pure audio perspective, it's a much more accurate style than the bass-heavy styling of the Beats headphones. However, if you're looking for Beats on the cheap, you may be disappointed by the relative paucity of low-end bloat on offer here. Bass performance is a highlight, however. It's not thunderous, but is perfectly incorporated and has a delightful plummy smoothness.
These headphones' sound also benefits from a covert semi open design. Open-back and semi-open headphones usually have fairly clear grills on the back of each earpiece, but here the sound ports are hidden underneath the join between the headband and ear cups. They make the sound that little bit wider and more open, making the Zoro seem like an even greater sonic bargain at the price.
However, the open style does make these headphones thoroughly unsuitable for plenty of situations that might seem a natural fit. They don't isolate you from the outside world enough, and the relatively delicate, neutral sound loses much of its impact when subjected to lots of noise. For the office they'll do the job, but take them on the train and they start to struggle.
This is at odds with another part of the design. Why making a folding, portable headphone if its sound can't cope with being taken about and about - unless you live in the middle of nowhere?
Noontec Zoro - foldy, but not truly portable
There are several contradictions to the Noontec Zoro, but if you wipe away all the preconceptions they insinuate, they provide good sound quality for under £40. Mid-range performance is unremarkable, there's distinct roll-off at the top end and they lack some of the fidelity of a more expensive pair, but - surprisingly enough - they represent good value for money. That is, as long as A) you don't mind people asking "are they Beats?" B) you won't use them on public transport C) you're not out for bassmonster cans. Passed the test? These headphones are worth considering.
Looking like the Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD headphones and costing a third of the price, the Noontec Zoro sound like a bargain. It's not quite that simple, though. They're not as comfortable or well-made and the semi-open design makes them useless for noisy areas. They sound nothing like the Beats, either, but that's no bad thing. With a clear, fairly neutral sound they're a good buy if you can live with their odd design contradictions.

i bought these and these are one of the best headphones i have ever used. i compared the sound to a pair of Solo HD's and i thought the sound on the Zoro's was actually better!
I love your reveiws!
Wow, this is a highly biased and largely incorrect review. To call the Noontec Zoro a beats knock-off is paying beats an undue compliment and paying a grave insult to Noontec. Beats headphones are overpriced by a massive margin and the "materials used" can't possibly reflect this because they are the same materials used in much cheaper sets. The chief difference here is that the noontec zoro have good sound quality at a reasonable price whereas the beats headphones have poor sound quality at an absurd price. Beats are the Chivas Regal of headphones - they're no better than their much cheaper counterparts, but because you paid so much more for them you're convinced they must be better.
If you want headphones that sound good, these are an excellent choice. If you want headphones that impress people who know nothing about audio and cause those who actually do to quietly laugh at you, take out a second mortgage on your home and buy beats.
I seem to remember that the Beats headphones nicked the removable ear cable directlt from Bose, But it is Never mentioned..
Yeah I got the Zoros myself. The sound is fantastic. Rivals some of the good expensive Sennheiser and Shure headphones too. Problem: The hinge broke.... I knew that it would be the problem area.
If only they had chosen a full metal hinge and properly connected it... So the plastic split just above it and it slides off the metal frame... not impressed by that! But we have the technology! So I can probably fix it.

Lockers, BGH?
BGH (& others),
What's your take on second hand ex-circle track lockers? I have one in my Maverick and it performs fine, just loud (especially on RH turns). Considering these cars have tire stagger and one-direction turning, are they pretty well spent when they go up for sale?
I've only had one of them and it looked fine inside when I disassembled it. I put it in a customer's car and it's still working fine. I think the bigger NASCAR teams just replace stuff after a while to try and prevent some kind of unexpected failure, even if the parts are still good.

Good morning. It's Dec. 23, 2009. Here's what's happening:
More than 40 people have been injured when an American Airlines flight from Miami with more than 150 aboard overshot a runway and skidded to the edge of the Caribbean Sea in Kingston, Jamaica. There were no deaths. Forty-four people were taken to nearby hospitals with broken bones and back pains. The fuselage of the plane, which had landed in heavy rain, cracked, both engines broke off from the impact, and the left main landing gear collapsed.
The Senate is on track to pass President Obama's health care bill Wednesday morning as Republicans concede they're powerless to stop it. The final vote, set for 8 a.m. ET Thursday, was moved up almost 12 hours when it became increasingly clear that its passage was unstoppable. The last of the procedural tallies today requiring 60 votes is technically the last opportunity for the GOP to block the bill's up-or-down vote Wednesday. Final passage needs only a simple majority. At the White House, spokesman Robert Gibbs declared, "Health care reform is not a matter of if, health care reform now is a matter of when."
Blackberry smart phones in North and South America are struggling back to service after e-mail traffic was halted for almost eight hours. Phone calling and texting services appeared to be functional, prompting would-be users to tweet their frustration on social networking site Twitter. It marks the second time in less than a week that BlackBerry users in North America have had to deal with e-mail outages on their Blackberry devices.
Also in the news...
Trolling the websites: NPR reports on the death of Kim Peek, who inspired the movie Rain Man. The Huffington Post's Sam Stein writes that President Obama did in fact campaign for the public option in a health care bill, "but not entirely." The BBC examines eight reasons why Copenhagen failed to deliver a climate deal.
Then there's the papers: The Seattle Times, right, reports on the attacks on law enforcement officers in Pierce County that have left five deputies dead and three wounded since Oct. 31. The New York Post reports on the released FBI files on Michael Jackson, which include details of a Canadian couple on a train carrying the Jackson entourage who were so uneasy about the singer's behavior toward a young boy that they notified the conductor. The Los Angeles Times says that with supermarkets no longer supplying many leftovers, food banks are approaching farmers directly for imperfect, but edible, fruits and vegetables.

Of the thousands of women who work behind the scenes in the Kentucky horse industry, many are uninsured and don't have the time or resources to get medical care. Without medical attention, many of these women would never know if they have breast cancer -- a disease which claims 3,000 lives in the state each year.
First lady Jane Beshear has stepped in to help these women with her organization Horses and Hope, which brings mobile clinics to the Churchill Downs racetrack, providing free breast cancer screenings.

Rutgers University and its neighbor, Princeton, played the first game of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the present-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won that first game, 6-4.
The game, which bore little resemblance to its modern-day counterpart, was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was "replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination, and physical prowess," to use the words of one of the Rutgers players.
William J. Leggett, captain of the Rutgers team who later became a distinguished clergyman of the Dutch Reformed Church, suggested that rules for the contest be adopted from those of the London Football Association. Leggett's proposal was accepted by Captain William Gunmere of Princeton, who later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
At 3 pm on that memorable afternoon, the 50 combatants and about 100 spectators gathered on the field. Most of the assemblage sat on a low wooden fence and watched the athletes doff hats, coats and vests and use suspenders as belts. To distinguish themselves from the bareheaded visitors, 50 Rutgers students, including players, donned scarlet-colored scarfs which they converted into turbans.
The teams lined up with two members of each team remaining more or less stationary near the opponent's goal in the hopes of being able to slip over and score from unguarded positions. Thus, the present day "sleeper" was conceived. The remaining 23 players were divided into groups of 11 and 12. While the 11 "fielders" lined up in their own territory as defenders, the 12 "bulldogs" carried the battle.
Each score counted as a "game" and 10 games completed the contest. Following each score, the teams changed direction. The ball could be advanced only by kicking or batting it with the feet, hands, heads or sides.
Events leading up to the game were described by John W. Herbert, Rutgers '72, who was one of the players: "To appreciate this game to the full you must know something of its background," Herbert wrote in 1933. "The two colleges were, and still are, of course, about 20 miles apart. The rivalry between them was intense. For years each had striven for possession of an old Revolutionary cannon, making night forays and lugging it back and forth time and again. Not long before the first football game, the canny Princetonians had settled this competition in their own favor by ignominiously sinking the gun in several feet of concrete. In addition to this, I regret to report, Princeton had beaten Rutgers in baseball by the harrowing score of 40-2. Rutgers longed for a chance to square things."
A challenge for the game was issued by Rutgers. Three games were to be played that year. The first played at New Brunswick and won by Rutgers. Princeton won the second game, but cries of "over-emphasis" prevented the third game in football's first year when faculties of both institutions protested on the grounds that the games were interfering with student studies.
Herbert gave this detailed account of the play in the first game: "Though smaller on the average, the Rutgers players, as it developed, had ample speed and fine football sense. Receiving the ball, our men formed a perfect interference around it and with short, skillful kicks and dribbles drove it down the field. Taken by surprise, the Princeton men fought valiantly, but in five minutes we had gotten the ball through to our captains on the enemy's goal and S.G. Gano, '71 and G.R. Dixon, '73, neatly kicked it over. None thought of it, so far as I know, but we had without previous plan or thought evolved the play that became famous a few years later as 'the flying wedge'."
Herbert then related that his teammates failed to note a conference the Princeton's captain was holding with the giant of the Tiger team, J.E. Michael, '71, known to his mates as "Big Mike."
"Next period Rutgers bucked, or received the ball, hoping to repeat the flying wedge," Herbert's account continues. "But the first time we formed it Big Mike came charging full upon us. It was our turn for surprise. The Princeton battering ram made no attempt to reach the ball but, forerunner of the interference-breaking ends of today, threw himself into our mass play, bursting us apart, and bowing us over. Time and again Rutgers formed the wedge and charged; as often Big Mike broke it up. And finally on one of these incredible break-ups a Princeton bulldog with a long accurate, perhaps lucky kick, sent the ball between the posts for the second score.
"The flying wedge thus checkmated, Rutgers might have been in a bad spot had not Madison Ball, '73, come through. He had a trick of kicking the ball with his heel. All the game he had been a puzzle to the Princetonians. The ball would be rolling toward the Rutgers goal, and, running ahead of it instead of taking time to turn, he would heel it back. He made several such plays, greatly encouraging his team. Then he capped all this by one tremendous lucky backward drive directly to Dixon, standing squarely before Princeton's goal...Dixon easily scored, giving us a one-goal lead. Big Mike again rose, however, in a berserk endeavor, and, getting the ball, he called the Princeton men into a flying wedge of their own and straight-away they took the ball right down the field and put it over."
It was at this point that a Rutgers professor could stand it no longer. Waving his umbrella at the participants, he shrieked, "you will come to no Christian end!"
Herbert's account of the game continues: "The fifth and sixth goals went to Rutgers. The stars of the latter period of play, in the memory of the players after the lapse of many years, were "Big Mike" and Large (former State Senator George H. Large of Flemington, another Princeton player). Someone by a random kick had driven the ball to one side, where it rolled against the fence and stopped. Large led the pursuit for the ball closely followed by Michael. They reached the fence on which students were perched, and unable to check their momentum, in a tremendous impact they struck it. The fence then gave way with a crash and over went the band of yelling students to the ground.
"Every college probably has the humorous tradition of some player who has scored against his own team. This tradition at Rutgers dated from this first game, for one of her players, whose identity is unknown, in the sixth period started to kick the ball between his own goal posts. The kick was blocked, but Princeton took advantage of the opportunity and soon made the goal. This turn of the game apparently disorganized Rutgers, for Princeton also scored the next goal after a few minutes of play, thus bringing the total up to four all."
At this point Leggett introduced strategy to turn the tide in favor of Rutgers. Noticing that Princeton obtained a great advantage from its taller players, Leggett ordered his men to keep the ball close to the ground. Following this strategy, Rutgers kicked the ninth and tenth goals, thus winning the match.
An analytical account of the game appeared in the November, 1869 issue of the Targum, Rutgers' undergraduate newspaper.
"To describe the varying fortunes of the match, game by game, would be a waste of labor for every game was like the one before," wrote the student re-porter. "There was the same headlong running, wild shouting, and frantic kicking.
"In every game the cool goaltenders saved the Rutgers goal half a dozen times; in every game the heavy charger of the Princeton side overthrew everything he came in contact with; and in every game, just when the interest in one of those delightful rushes at the fence was culminating, the persecuted ball would fly for refuge into the next lot, and produce cessation of hostilities until, after the invariable 'foul', it was put in straight.
"To sum up, Princeton had the most muscle, but didn't kick very well, and wanted organization. They evidently don't like to kick the ball on the ground. Our men, on the other hand, though comparatively weak, ran well, and kicked well throughout. But their great point was the organization, for which great praise is due to the captain. The right men were always in the right place."
One of the Princeton players, William Preston Lane, in 1933 contended in a newspaper interview that Rutgers "ran us Princeton men out of town. I never found out why they did that," he related. "But we don't ask any questions. When we saw them coming after us, we ran to the outskirts of New Brunswick and got into our carriages and wagons and went away as fast as we could."
Lane's contention is refuted in the Targum account. "After the match the players had an amicable "feed together," the paper reported. "At 8 o'clock our guests went home, in high good spirits, thirsting to beat us next time, if they can."
The Daily Fredonian, a New Brunswick paper of that era, supported the Targum account in its issue of November 9, 1869.
"Though the generous liberality of the students of Rutgers College," the Fredonian reported, "a bountiful entertainment was prepared for our Princeton friends, at the favorite resort in Church Street known as Northrop's where 'mine host' and his estimable lady know how to get up a good supper."

Note from Joe: I have had the privilege of training Travis to be a financial coach, and he is FIRED UP about helping people win with their money. He is one of the most frequent commenters here on JosephSangl.com, so I asked him to share some of his story here on the wildly popular website.
Guest Post: Why I LOVE IHHE Moments (I Have Had Enough Moments)
Recently Joe asked me if I would like to write a guest post, I couldn't wait for the chance. In fact, I think my exact response was that I felt like a high school girl getting asked to a homecoming dance!
So that got me to thinking about what my favorite type of post. I came to conclusion that my favorite is a good ole IHHE post. Yes, that's right, the I HAVE HAD ENOUGH post. This seems weird because I am a very positive person. So, what is the lure of the IHHE? It is because it is at the IHHE Moment that things like priorities and resolve snap into crystal clear focus. You might even say that it is when the "pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change". That moment, my friend, is when real life change will happen.
I have had two IHHE moments in my life. The first was six years ago. It came shortly after our washing machine had recently died, and we had put it and our furniture on buy now pay later terms and I was looking up information on taking out a home equity line of credit. The home equity was for something that we just needed … A vacation! (from the stress of all our debts). That is when Google pulled up Dave Ramsey. (Before I knew about the wildly popular JoesephSangl.com). That's when it hit me, we make TOO much Money to be this broke!
My second IHHE moment came late in October 2010. I was in a meeting when I started having chest pains and tightness in my arm. It was enough that I left the meeting and went straight to emergency room. You see, I have always been a big guy but over time my weight had just continued to climb unchecked. When you are 37 years old with a wife and two little girls that love you … and your spending two days on the cardiac floor and the next youngest person is 80-something. That's time for a good old IHHE!
So where does that all leave me today? I am proud to say that on the matters of money, we worked through over $30,000 of debt in 15 months of very hardcore scrimping and working. That is now about four and a half years in the past and now we get to watch as our mortgage drops and our retirement saving increase.
I'm proud to say that matters of the second … After much testing, my heart was given the all clear. Ends up that it was stressed related. That doesn't matter because it was enough to have an IHHE moment. As of this moment I have dropped 60 lb and registered for my first 5k walk/run next month with another planned in April. I'm now gearing up for an oganized race!?? It blows my mind too!
To sum it all up…. I love a good IHHE moment because it leads to life change!
Have you ever had an IHHE moment where suddenly you realize that the pain of staying the same was worse that the pain of change?
Get FIRED UP! Way to go Travis – can't wait to hear about the result of the 5K and to hear you shout, "I'm DEBT-FREE – including the mortgage!"

Ever had any apocalyptic dreams?<quoted text>The dreams also include conversations. While my future seeing dream is being fulfilled in real life, I already know the words that I will say next because I already witnessed myself say those words in my dream. And so when the dream is being fulfilled in real life, I just uttered the words exactly as Ive said it in my dream.
Next time I will try to experiment if I can alter the words that I said in my dream, and also if I can alter the situation in my dream, once the dream is actually being fulfilled in real life.
One time I was already absolutely convinced to become an atheist but seconds later I suddenly remembered my future seeing dream occurrences and so instantly I returned to being a believer. Thus, I became an atheist in just a few seconds of my life and instantly returned to being a believer again.
Just curious.

SMART MONEY: Teen starts a savings plan with new job
DEAR BRUCE: My 18-year-old son recently started his first job. He keeps asking me where he should put his money to start saving for his future. He said he can afford to put $50 a week in a savings account. How much do you think he should accumulate in his savings account before he moves on to a better-earning investment? — B.C.
DEAR B.C.: You son is starting off on the right foot. At $50 a week, he can certainly save $500 in 10 weeks. At that point, he should consider investing in the stock market.
He can't buy large quantities, but he could buy an initial stake of $500 and add to it every month with $200 in savings.
If he establishes the appropriate habits now, he will be very successful in life. I think he must have you to thank for his good judgment.
DEAR BRUCE: Does it really make a difference if you earn a high school diploma versus getting a GED? — Harold
DEAR HAROLD: They are both valuable tools, but given the choice between the diploma and the GED, I would go for the diploma every time.
A General Educational Development certificate is for someone who is not able to complete high school for any number of reasons. If you can take the four years, by all means do so.

A dole cheat claimed more than £13,000 for a Notting Hill flat while receiving a further £45,000 in benefits for a home in Paris, a court heard.
Raja Aboutarik, helped herself to £9,548 in housing benefit and £3,504 in council tax benefit between May 2006 and May last year while occupying a one bedroom flat in Arundel Gardens worth more than £250,000.
But the Moroccan-born 56-year-old had also been receiving state benefits in France of around £800, West London Magistrates' Court was told.
During the five year swindle she received just over £58,000 in benefits from Britain and France.
The benefit racket only came to an end when she was forced to admit she lived in her Paris home when the French authorities launched an investigation.
She "clearly and deliberately" provided false information in order to increase her living standards, said prosecutor Roger Hodkinson.
"It was clear that some of it was money other than for expenses on the property," he told the court.
Aboutarik was receiving state benefits in France from 1999, and arrested on suspicion of benefit fraud in August 2011, the court heard.
District Judge James Henderson handed her an eight-week prison term, suspended for a year.
He told her: "This went on over a long period of time and you benefited to the extent of some £13,000, and so it seems to me I must give you a prison sentence."
He said Aboutarik would not have to pay court costs because of her limited means but placed her under nightly curfew for the next three months.
Aboutarik, of Notting Hill, admitted three charges of falsely making a statement to obtain a benefit.
She is repaying Kensington and Chelsea Council at the rate of just £20 a week for the UK benefits.
Neighbours condemned the fraudster for "making them pay" for her theft.
Mary Cameron, a teacher who rents a flat in the same road, said: "Benefits are fine, but there are a lot of people living in mansions and getting housing for their eight children and abusing the system.
"That is clearly not on. I welcome diversity in this area, but that behaviour does make me angry, because essentially it is people like us who pay."
Marie Dossantos, 23, a student renting an apartment opposite Aboutarik, said: "She should have been claiming from one country. She is taking money that belongs to other people."
But speaking to the Standard, Aboutarik said she would remain living in the Notting Hill flat.
"I'm not a bad person, it was just a mistake. I don't understand English law."
She said her husband, Mohamed Mansour, had returned to Egypt two years ago, leaving her behind.
"He used to explain everything to me. Without him, I don't understand. I'm going to stay in England and try to start my life here afresh," she said.
She added: "I'm very sorry for what I have done."

Citation: Wang, H.Z., Gan, J., Zhang, J.B., Xu, J., Yates, S.R., Wu, J.J., Ye, Q.F. 2009. Kinetic Distribution of 14C-Metsulfuron-methyl Residues in Paddy Soils under Different Moisture Conditions. Journal of Environmental Quality. 38(1):164-170. Interpretive Summary: Metsulfuron-methyl is widely used for pre- and post-emergence control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in cereal, pasture, and plantation crops. However, this compound has been shown to persist in the environment and may cause phytotoxic effects to beneficial plants. Metsulfuron-methyl degrades in soil by hydrolysis and microbial degradation and is affected by soil pH. In cereal-growing regions of China, the pH of paddy soils range from 5 to 9, so metsulfuron-methyl is predominantly anionic. The anionic form is more soluble in water and less susceptible to hydrolysis, which may increase its persistence and leaching potential. Soil moisture has also been shown to play an important role in the fate of herbicides. Studies have shown that increasing soil water content can stimulate the microbial degradation of many herbicides. The objectives of the study were to study the degradation of extractable and soil-bound residues of 14C-metsulfuron-methyl in six Chinese paddy soils under different moisture conditions, and to better understand how moisture content influences the relationship between soil properties and the extractable and bound residues in soils.
Technical Abstract: Rice paddy soils undergo several cycles of drying and wetting during a growing season. A laboratory study was conducted to determine the effect of soil moisture conditions on the distribution and kinetics of extractable and bound residues of 14C-metsulfuron-methyl in six Chinese paddy soils during 84 d incubation at 15 oC with moisture contents varying from 20 to 50% of the field water-holding capacity. The amount of extractable residues consistently increased, and the bound residues decreased with increasing soil moisture content. At 84 d after the treatment, extractable residues and bound residues accounted for 34.5-84.4% and 11.6-53.3% of the applied radioactivity in the soils, respectively. Soil pH and soil microbial biomass carbon were the most predominant factors affecting the formation and relative distribution of the herbicide residues between the extractable and bound residue forms. In high pH soils, the level of bound residues decreased, and that of extractable residues increased, suggesting an increased leaching risk for metsulfuron-methyl in alkaline soils. High precipitation rates, along with the common practice of liming in the southeastern regions of China, may lead to enhanced herbicide leaching as well as phytotoxicity to rotation plants, and should be considered in the overall pest management practices.

WACO, Tex. --- A five run eighth inning by Baylor proved to be too much for the Anteaters who fell 6-1 Saturday at Baylor Ballpark.
A leadoff double by Nathan Orf in the first off UCI starter Andrew Thurman, was cashed in by Logan Vick's two-out single to right but UCI answered in the third. Ronnie Shaeffer, aboard on a fielder's choice with one out in the inning, took second on a four-pitch walk issued to Taylor Sparks. D.J. Crumlich loaded the bases with a clean single through the left side and Christian Ramirez would drive in the tying run on a sacrifice fly to center.
After facing seven batters in the first inning, Thurman settled down and held Baylor scoreless for the remainder of his five-inning stint, leaving the game tied at 1-1.
Baylor took the lead in the eighth. After opening the inning with a pair of base on balls, a bunt attempt was fielded cleanly by Jimmy Litchfield but the throw to first was not in time, loading the bases with no outs. Pinch hitter Joey Hainsfurther was issued the third walk of the inning to push across the go-ahead run and an error on a fly-ball to left allowed another run to score, giving the Bears a 3-1 lead. Lawton Langford put the game out of reach with a two-run single up the middle and Orf followed with an RBI hit before Mitch Merten would retire the final two batters.
Litchfield took the loss, falling to 0-1 after giving up five runs on three hits in two innings. Merten gave up two hits in an inning of work. Connor Spencer and Crumlich had two hits apiece.
Crayton Bare pitched 1.1 hitless innings against UCI to earn the win (1-0). Vick paced the offense with three hits.
UCI concludes the weekend against Lamar Sunday at 9:00 a.m. (PT).

2012 is THE AMITY AFFLICTION's year. This spring THE AMITY AFFLICTION will embark on their biggest run of Australian dates yet, in support of the highly anticipated release of Roadrunner Records debut Chasing Ghosts. The tour features a massive international undercard that ticks all the right boxes. Featuring California's metallic hardcore kings THE GHOST INSIDE, Brighton's modern metal lords ARCHITECTS and capped off with local juggernauts BURIED IN VERONA, every date on the Chasing Ghosts Tour will start hard from the first beat and not relent. Tens of thousands of fans showed their solidarity in 2012 when THE AMITY AFFLICTION embarked on two massive headline tours. The quintet co-headlined the inaugural Destroy Music Tour and followed it up in October with the even bigger Fuck The Reaper Tour. From there they went on to appear nationally on the Big Day Out 2012, well and truly cementing themselves as a household name in Australian hardcore. Keeping the ante high, around all that time on the road they also managed to write and travel to the United States to record Chasing Ghosts, the follow up to the highly successful Youngbloods, which debuted #6 on the ARIA Charts. Speaking on behalf of his band mates, Joel Birch stated, "We're all loving the new songs. It feels like there is an entire album of awesome songs that we love which hasn't happened prior to this; we've finally written an album we are proud of from start to finish, no filler whatsoever." The singer also commented on the lyrical direction of Chasing Ghosts, revealing, "I've tried to write my thoughts in a manner that can connect with people on an even more personal level than I did on Youngbloods, and I'm proud that the substance and depth hasn't been lost or compromised, or watered down." THE AMITY AFFLICTION will showcase the new material on the Chasing Ghosts Tour with their biggest run of dates in the band's eight years together. No strangers to our shores, THE GHOST INSIDE return with their Epitaph debut Get What You Give. Coupling their signature deeply personal vocals, urgent riffing and pile-driving breakdowns with a renewed energy and determination, the release is nothing short of the band's most dynamic and explosive material thus far. Expect a crushing live delivery when the Cali quintet steps on stage come September. ARCHITECTS have never been ones to rest on their laurels either, packing in an extensive international touring schedule tightly around writing and recording. They return for the Chasing Ghosts Tour with a brand new offering, Daybreaker. The release is a sweeping show of strength in terms of how intense, colourful, dynamic and multifarious modern metal can be and lyrically captures the bands growing maturity. ARCHITECTS are well and truly primed to flex their muscles live Down Under this spring. BURIED IN VERONA released their third album Notorious via UNFD in June to an overwhelming response, debuting at #20 on the ARIA Charts and winning over fans country-wide. This opening slot on THE AMITY AFFLICTION's tour comes off their huge headlining tour that saw thousands of fans cram into venues all over the country to see what is one of Australia's most promising up and comers. Legions of fans across the nation know exactly what they can expect of The Chasing Ghosts Tour. Don't miss out when the show comes to your town.

Afghanistan Mudslide Death Toll May Be Higher Than Originally Reported
All hope appears lost after a massive mudslide destroyed an entire village in northeastern Afghanistan.
The death toll jumped overnight to more than 21-hundred, but it's feared it could be as high as 27-hundred.
The exact number of victims, however, may never be known as authorities announced today that they've stopped trying to dig through the hundreds of feet of mud.
NATO-led coalition troops were at the ready to help but say they never received a request.
Instead, the site will now be declared a mass grave.

Three topless Ukrainian protesters have been detained after trying to break into an invitation-only gathering of political leaders in Davos.
The women are trying to call the VIPs' attention to the needs of the world's poor.
They arrived at the entrance to the congress centre where the World Economic Forum is taking place, took off their tops and climbed a fence before being detained. They carried placards reading 'Poor because of you'. Other slogans were written on their bodies.
The activists are from the group Femen, which has have become popular in Ukraine for staging small, half-naked protests to highlight a range of issues including oppression of political opposition. They have also conducted protests in some other countries.

Elaborately Staged Studio Transports The Artist To New Worlds [Pics]
Without using Photoshop, artist JeeYoung Lee created imaginative scenes in her studio and placed herself in the middle of the sets.
Korean artist JeeYoung Lee creates and photographs amazing scenes inside her small studio. Instead of using photo manipulation, she works for months to produce the imaginative sets.
Lee also places herself in the middle of the transformed art studio to create the series of impressive self-portraits 'Stage of Mind'. The scenes, inspired by her personal life and Korean fables, include a space filled with lotus flowers, one painted with an all-over checkerboard pattern, another a maze of black and yellow pipes, and one unleashing a swarm of black birds.
Pieces from the ongoing series 'Stage of Mind' will be exhibited at the Opiom Gallery in France next year from February 14th to March 15th. Click through to see a selection of Lee's images:

Innerpartysystem, Bar Academy, Birmingham
'Heart Of Fire' is immediately recognisable from its stadium-rock style intro, but nothing tonight sounds like a carbon copy of their LP.Read more on Innerpartysystem Listen to Innerpartysystem on Spotify
The Bar Academy in Birmingham comes resolutely under the heading of 'hole in the wall'. Be assured, it's a dive, and is where Innerpartysystem are playing tonight. On arrival at 7pm, the doors are just about to be opened and there's a modest queue of around fifty waiting in the waning light. After being let in, a quick bound up the stairs reveals an unassuming space which is largely empty, and a disappointingly small ground-level stage of matchbox proportions tucked away in the corner, the view of which is already obstructed by a horde of fifteen year-olds, all eager to get the best spot.
Still, it's not all bad news. Finding one of the wall seats near the stage and standing up on it yields the pay-off that everything on stage can be seen and from a good proximity too, without the bone crushing that goes on in the mosh pit. Innerpartysystem come on almost immediately after the second support finish, but only to do an interminably long sound check - the bizarre, spacey sounds and effects as they test their various gear out sound like something out of a Dr Who episode, and only heighten the collective anticipation. Frontman Patrick Nissley walks past several times back and forth from the stage, and this reviewer can't work up the courage to squeak out a simple, if clichéd, "hey, your album rocks!", so remains mute.
The lights dim to cheers and applause, and the band launch into a thunderous version of current single 'Die Tonight, Live Forever', immediately followed by their cover of Joy Division's 'Transmission', a track that nonetheless has an impressive number of people singing along. The level of familiarity everyone here seems to have for the songs is really something, considering their debut album has only been out for a mere seven days. In fact, guitarist Kris Barman asks at one point, with a cheeky grin on his face, "so, how many of you have bought our album?", and is greeted with a pleasing spread of outstretched hands. However, it's not until third song into the set, 'The Way We Move', that the crowd really lets loose and gives themselves up to pure hedonism, which is in keeping with its ebullient dance-rock vibe and is a definite highlight.
'Heart Of Fire' is immediately recognisable from its stadium-rock style intro, but nothing played tonight sounds like a carbon copy of their LP. Unlike on the album, the guitar is very much in evidence here and vies for equal attention with the the synth and processed beats instead of taking a back seat. This gives them an unexpectedly raw and edgy sound live, which is in contrast to the overly polished and metallic quality that often plagues the electro genre. And by God, are they loud, incredibly loud, to the extent that the instrumentation drowns out the singing, regrettably. Nowhere are all these elements brought together better than on 'Last Night In Brooklyn', a mid-tempo piece of brilliance with a distinctive hook that alternates between soothing vocal tones, the gently atmospheric bridge, and the passive-aggressive cold shower of the chorus, with Nissley screaming the primary line of "I float over you" in a voice of utter frustration towards the end.
Sadly, this is where the evening ended for this reviewer, having to rely on the vagaries of the public transport system. But what was seen and heard lived up to expectations and fuelled a desire for more, much more. It could be speculated that as a band, these sentiments are exactly what they'd hope for from their fans, and if this is so, they've succeeded admirably.

Disagreements among Ontario Progressive Conservatives about a controversial labour proposal blew out into the open on Tuesday, leading to the firing of a Windsor-area candidate just months before a likely spring election.
Dave Brister said in an interview that he has long been vocal behind the scenes about his opposition to "right-to-work" legislation, which would ban compulsory union membership, and was unrepentant for suddenly going public with those criticisms on Twitter.
"There is a growing number of people who acknowledge that this doesn't work," Mr. Brister said of a policy that he argued would lead to lower wages. Other MPPs, he said, have told him they feel the same way, but the "unfortunate reality in Ontario politics" is that "elected officials and candidates are required to check their opinions and in a lot of cases their intelligence at the door."
It was the third time in less than five months that Mr. Hudak made a caucus member or candidate pay for perceived insubordination, with MPPs Randy Hillier and Peter Shurman – the latter of whom has since resigned from the legislature – dumped from their shadow cabinet positions in September. It also happened on the same day that veteran PC MPP Frank Klees, who at times has clashed with Mr. Hudak publicly, announced that he has decided not to seek re-election.
And it came as welcome news to the governing Liberals, who held it up as evidence that Mr. Hudak's positions are too "extreme" even for some members of his own party.
PC officials countered that Mr. Brister was ousted not for letting his own policy views be known, but for violating the confidentiality of a "super-caucus" in which candidates meet alongside incumbent MPPs, and for attacks on fellow Tories.
The flare-up began with Mr. Brister approvingly tweeting a Globe and Mail column from this past weekend that noted Mr. Hudak appears to be reconsidering his endorsement of right-to-work because of pushback from within his party.
After tweeting "kudos to @timhudak; a leader who listens," Mr. Brister became more emphatic – calling on Mr. Hudak to "expel" the issue once and for all, and claiming he is "not the loudest" opponent within his party of right-to-work, "just 1st to say it."
His comments then took a more personal turn, with Mr. Brister accusing labour critic Monte McNaughton of running a "behind scenes leadership campaign."
Mr. Brister denied revealing what was said in caucus, noting that plenty of fellow Tories – including at least one MPP – spoke out against right-to-work before a closely contested vote on the policy at the party's convention last fall.
In addition to their contrasting accounts as to what prompted the firing, Mr. Brister and his party also offered different versions of how it transpired. While the former candidate said that two party representatives who drove from Toronto to his office on Tuesday afternoon told him to either recant his opposition to right-to-work or step aside, PC officials denied any such choice was given.
Mr. Brister was slated to run for the Tories for the second time, having come within fewer than 1,400 votes of winning Essex in 2011. In the coming election, he would have been competing primarily with first-term NDP incumbent Taras Natyshak, in a riding known for having a large contingent of union members – a consideration that some PCs suggested was the motivation behind his outspokenness.
Nevertheless, sources say that a significant number of caucus members and candidates have voiced concerns about right-to-work behind closed doors, albeit in most cases less strongly than Mr. Brister.Report Typo/Error

You would think these teams are fighting for a playoff spot. Good defense by both teams, and the score in the 70`s at the end of three quarters. This is shaping up to be a serious rivalry!!

Another day, another exercising adventure for Hattie Saville. It's line dancing with the ladies at the Rehab Gym in Colchester. Today, she's also the instructor. If it's not line dancing, it's aerobics. She's in constant motion, moving her feet almost every day of the week. And at 87, the Burlington native is also one of the oldest in the class.
"She's great! If I can do half of what she does at her age-- I'm just working towards that," one dancer said.
"It's the song 'Fever,'" Hattie said.
She's got feverish footwork. They watch her every move.
Reporter Joe Carroll: Why do you like dancing?
Hattie Saville: 'Cause I've been dancing all my life and I couldn't stop.
She's got the spirit of a teenager, but she can't stand on one foot anymore and that bothers her. Otherwise she's as smooth as silk.
"The other teacher wants us to be Rockettes, I want us to be jazz dancers," Saville said.
The hourlong class is over in a beat.
Joe Carroll: This is one of your passions. What are your other passions?
Hattie Saville: Well, painting.
It's more than a passion, it's a job. Living in Connecticut with her husband and family, she found out that she could make a decent income selling her paintings and small drawings at weekend art shows. It enabled her to be a stay-at-home mom.
"And I loved getting up, couldn't wait to get up in the morning and start painting, 'cause I was painting for a show every weekend," Hattie said.
She has been painting for over 40 years. She still does some mail order work, but now it's more of way to keep her mind sharp.
Joe Carroll: How would you describe your work?
Hattie Saville: Oh, I don't know, fun.
Many of her paintings were inspired by looking out her window in Corinth. She and her husband, Dick, moved there after he retired. It was their dream home.
"The good times that we did have and I feel very lucky... we had something very special," she said.
They were married just short of 50 years when he suddenly passed away.
"The house was too much," Hattie said. "I didn't want to live there without him."
So her life came full circle, moving back to Chittenden County to a condo. She's been there for over a decade.
Joe Carroll: What keeps you going?
Hattie Saville: Well, what I have to do each day-- I'm so busy!
For Hattie, she says life's like a song: enjoy it while you can, 'cause at some point it will be over.
She instructed her dance students: "Half way around and take a bow!"

Lesson One: I am responsible for my own Becoming.
The Llewellyn Journal: "Alchemy teaches that I and I alone am responsible for myself, my life, my consciousness, and my growth in wisdom, or "Becoming" as it is called. While others can try to help me along the way, I have to be receptive to their assistance and listen to the voice of experience. At the end of time, when I stand before the Eternal, my answer to the question, "Who are you?" must be in the words of Victor Hugo, "I am freedom." Freely I have entered the Path, freely have I undertaken its challenges, and freely do I share with others what I have learned."...read more>>>...

TORONTO — A woman who came to symbolize the horrors of the Vietnam War was honoured Friday on the 40th anniversary of the photograph that made her famous.
Kim Phuc Phan Thi was only nine years old when she was photographed fleeing a napalm strike on her village in South Vietnam on June 8, 1972.
The image of her running naked down a road captured worldwide attention and later won a Pulitzer prize for photographer Nick Ut.
Kim Phuc now lives in the Toronto area and spent much of the milestone looking back at how the iconic photo changed her life.
"I never thought that the child who was a famous symbol of war would one day be invited to become a symbol of peace," she told friends and relatives at an event marking the occasion.
"I have so much to be grateful for, but I did not make this journey alone," she said.
Joining her were Mr. Ut and others who helped her survive the conflict, including doctors, nurses and even an immigration officer who helped her resettle in her adoptive country.
The event's organizer said the woman who garnered worldwide fame "can't even describe the emotions" stirred up by the anniversary.
"She would never have been alive if it wasn't for these people," said Liesa Cianchino, who is a close friend of Kim Phuc's.
Ms. Cianchino said the date should always serve as a reminder of the atrocities of war and their impact on children.
Kim Phuc and her husband came to Canada in 1992.
Five years later, she founded the Kim Foundation International, which provides free medical assistance to children who are victims of war and terrorism.
She is also a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO.

We had to find somewhere with a beautiful beach. For many families, including ours, it's an essential element of the holiday. Nothing tempts us more than the classic brochure picture of a stretch of coral-coloured sand.
Here at Starfish Trelawny, near Montego Bay (starfishresorts.com), we're spoilt. The Caribbean laps against a beach any brochure would be proud of - rustling palm trees, water as calm and warm as a bath, bleached coral underfoot, even a scattering of bamboo huts where you can get your hair braided. There's just one thing missing from this idyll. Kids. The only people are adults, spread out on the slabs of sunloungers, sacrificing themselves to Helios. All the children are a few yards away, splashing around in the pool.
Beaches are fine in abstract. But after the factor 40 has been unpacked, it's the pool that the kids head for. The pool doesn't wash away your giant inflatable dolphin. You can rest your fizzy drink on the side. It doesn't sting your eyes. It's far more social than the sea - somehow it's easier to make friends in chlorinated water. And, of course, there isn't the horrible inconvenience of sand.
Ironically, the very worst kind of beach is the one that seems most perfect - the soft peppery kind. The two-year-old twins have a tantrum if a single grain gets in their shoes, and the 10-year-old com-plains that her bikini bottoms get all gritty. It's only me who enjoys the rub of sand between my toes. According to the kids, shingle is far better.
Given that children don't really want to spend time in salty water, it's odd that tourist developments - even those like Starfish aimed at families - crowd around the coast. Still, it would be difficult to convince my family to take a fortnight's break far away from a beach. A real holiday has to have one - even if it's never used.

Arsène Wenger believes his squad deserve credit for fighting so hard on four fronts this season.
The first chance of a trophy slipped through Arsenal's fingers last week when Birmingham beat them at the Carling Cup Final. But Wenger's side are still well in contention in the Premier League and have a slender advantage at the halfway stage of their Champions League tie with Barcelona.
The second leg of that clash takes place at the Nou Camp on Tuesday, followed closely by a trip to Old Trafford for an FA Cup tie with Manchester United. It's a pivotal week in Arsenal's season and, at the start of it, Wenger was quick to praise his players.
"I believe the side is remarkably consistent and you have to give us some credit," he said.
"We have shown that we wanted to fight on four fronts, so we have played game after game for two and a half months. We have shown the same resilient attitude every time.
"Of course, as soon as we have a disappointment, everybody gets on your back. Sometimes you are the victim of your hunger as well because we want to do well in every competition.
"Let's be realistic as well, we only lost the Carling Cup in the last minutes on a mistake that happens once every 50 years. Overall, the team is doing extremely well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Russia: Kremlin Eyeing Egypt Events with Caution
Moscow is remaining conspicuously silent on the Egyptian crisis as the Kremlin worries about the possibility that the fall of President Hosni Mubarak's regime in Cairo could create a ripple effect in the authoritarian-minded states of Russia's near abroad, analysts say.
Anti-government protests in Egypt have already invigorated opposition activists in several members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, including Belarus, Armenia and Azerbaijan. "For Russia, it [the events in Cairo] is a kind of Color Revolution. That's why they are very afraid of it," said Alexei Malashenko, a political scientist at the Carnegie Moscow Center.
Armenia's newly energized opposition coalition, the Armenian National Congress, has already declared its intention to hold a protest at Yerevan's Freedom Square
Russia did not officially react to events in Egypt until the sixth day of mass protests in Cairo. And when Russian officials finally spoke out, they were restrained in their comments. President Dmitry Medvedev, in a February 3 telephone conversation, urged a peaceful resolution to the crisis and thanked Mubarak for ensuring the safety of thousands of holidaying Russians, the Kremlin's official website reported.
"Dmitry Medvedev expressed the desire and hope that the current complex moment in the life of friendly Egypt is overcome in the nearest future in a peaceful manner and within the legal framework for solving the current problems," the Kremlin report said. Analysts in Moscow interpreted the reported phone conversation as a sign of Moscow's tacit support for Egypt's embattled ruler.
Since then, Russian diplomats have worked quietly to find ways to defuse tension. On February 8, Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin called for the UN Security Council to send a mission to the Middle East to assess the turmoil in Egypt and revive peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, wire agencies reported. Mubarak on February 9 met Russia's Middle East envoy Alexander Sultanov. No details of the discussion were immediately available, media outlets reported.
In the domestic arena, the Egypt crisis is resonating awkwardly for the Kremlin. "Moscow, and particularly [Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin do not want any of this change. It reminds society of the possibility of revolution and riots. That's why in principal they are against," said Malashenko.
Alex Nice, a Russia analyst at London-based think tank Chatham House, said that coming to the support of protestors in Egypt would contradict the logic of police crackdowns on the opposition activists in Russia. Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov recently sought to compare Premier Putin to Mubarak
Nice also said that the unrest in Egypt is unpalatable for the Russian authorities because it challenges one of the basic tenets of Russia's current leadership - "stability is necessarily a public good."
Egypt under the 30-year rule of Soviet-educated Mubarak has been a reliable partner for Moscow in the Middle East, even though Cairo has maintained closer ties with Washington. Moscow's sway in the Middle East has ebbed considerably since the Soviet era. But of late the Kremlin has tried to raise its profile in the region, underscored by Medvedev's January visit to Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. "Russia is not preoccupied with Egypt itself, [it is] preoccupied with [its] own position," said Malashenko.
Malashenko added that the Egypt precedent inevitably raises uncomfortable questions for Central Asia's leaders, several of whom – like Mubarak - have been at the helm of predominantly Muslim countries for over two decades. Further, unlike the Color Revolutions, the Egypt unrest was not triggered by elections and thus poses a different kind of threat.
Russia's concerns have helped prompt officials in Moscow to bolster security arrangements, said Alexei Mukhin, director of the Moscow-based Center for Political Information. "It is this kind of worry that was apparent in the raft of documents that were signed in the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) at the end of last year. They have created a concrete mechanism for deploying troops in countries who have signed this treaty," said Mukhin.
The seven-member bloc met on December 10 and "approved a declaration on the CSTO peacekeeping force and a declaration of the CSTO member states, and also signed a package of joint documents
On February 4, the eleventh day of Egypt mass protests, the general secretary of the Russia-led bloc said it would carry out drills for the peacekeeping force in 2011, "most probably" in Central Asia, according to the official Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
