((This post will constantly be in a work in progress, the headphone world is constantly changing with new competitors and my goal is to keep this up to date with as much detail as possible. This will be no easy goal and I'm asking your help to correct any information, or add any as needed! A PM will yield best results when looking to change anything here.))
Before reading this thread I want everyone to realize that sound is subjective. Something that one person may find to be a great headphone may in-fact sound terrible to the next person. We all experience sound differently and our choice in music greatly effects the sort of sound we will want in a headphone. I realize opinions can cause someone to get heated possibly, but we're all here for the same purpose! Now you may be wondering what determines what headphones you should consider? Here are some basic things to consider when looking into a new headphone:
1: Location: Where will you be using this headphone? This is the first and most important thing to consider. Why? Well if you plan to use the headphones for travelling purposes then you wouldn't want to bother others with your music leaking and you certainly wouldn't want outside noises to impose on your music. If you plan to use them in an environment where you won't possibly bother others then open headphones will likely be your choice as they tend to offer the best bang for your buck.
2: Budget: Your budget encompasses your headphones and any accessories you intend to use with them such as DACs and Amps. Some headphones sound fantastic from anything starting with an iPod to a vintage stereo system, while some headphones need a dedicated headphone amp in order to sound their best. When considering your headphones be sure to note the notation for the headphones you would like, any that indicate needing a headphone amp (3) I strongly urge purchasing an amp with them, anything that improves with an amp (2) I highly suggest picking up one with it.
3: Music: Lastly you want to consider the type of music you listen to as not all headphones are created equal! Every headphone is designed to cater to a certain sound type and a headphone that may be excellent for classical music might lack in many areas for those who listen to drum and bass. If you have an eclectic music taste then it's best to find something that will suit what you listen to most.
Types of Headphones
Before I get into the guide, I would like to give a quick explanation of the types of headphones.
Earbuds: These are the headphones that you'll see come with an iPod and other music players. They sit in the outside of the ear and provide little isolation much isolation. There aren't many high-end options in this style and IEMs are considered by many to be superior.
IEMs: Otherwise known as in-ear monitors. These are headphones that go into your ear similar to ear buds, but they go a step further by nesting into your ear canal. They will provide a higher level of isolation due to the deeper fit and a proper seal.
Full-Sized, Circumaural: These can be open or closed headphones, it doesn't matter. The defining characteristic of these is that they will completely cover your ear inside the pad. The pad of the headphone generally won't touch the ear, rather make a seal around the outside of the ear. These headphones tend to be large and are generally not ideal for portable use.
Full-Sized, Supra-aural: These can be open or closed headphones, it doesn't matter. The defining characteristic of these is that they sit on the ear, rather than cover your ear. Some users find the design to be uncomfortable due to the pressure applied on the ears.
Open vs. Closed
This question comes up often and it's actually very simply put. Open headphones will generally have a wider sound stage, giving the music more room to breath and usually more realistic presentation. It can be thought of as seeing a concert outdoors where the music has an air to it. This isn't always true, but it's one way to look at it. The downfall to open headphones is that they leak sound and let sound in. This makes them poor solutions for traveling or if you're sharing a dorm room.
Closed headphones generally have a more narrow and direct sound presentation, similar to going to a club or an intimate venue. This isn't always true either, but it's one way to think of it. Closed headphones usually isolate well, this means that tend to keep the sound between the headphones and the listener. There are exceptions though so it's not always so cut and dry.
Open headphones tend to be great choices when you have no worries of annoying others with sound leakage due to overall better sound quality per dollar than closed headphones. Closed headphones tend to be best when you are sharing close living quarters or are travelling.
Headphone Guide
When considering your headphone purchase it's always best to attempt to find a place to demo them yourself to try your own music on them and see if they suit your ears. Remember sound is subjective and one headphone I enjoy the next person may not. This is meant to help guide you into the more popular and well received models available to further research. Prices are based on info from Amazon through price info gathering sites, or authorized sellers. The pricing and tier is not indicative of quality relative to another headphone, the headphones are sorted solely based upon price, price is not an indicator of whether you're going to like something more or less.
Things to avoid
Active Noise Canceling is something else you'll want to avoid in most cases. In-general the average person will get the isolation needed from IEMs or other high isolation headphones. With active noise canceling you're going to pay a premium on the noise canceling technology, rather than the sound quality. Only buy these, or even consider them, if you absolutely need them. As for how the technology works, it has a microphone that listens to the noises around you. It will generate a tone that cancels out constant hums like a jet engine. It does nothing for talking or sporadic noises. Realistically, there's no need for it with how well headphones isolate when considering headphones with excellent passive isolation. Generally the technology hurts the sound quality and requires batteries to operate, making them very inconvenient.
Note Guide:
(1) Denotes amp is not required and the headphone will probably not see any change with one.
(2) Denotes amp is not required, but one is recommended.
(3) Denotes amp is required. Using these without an amp will leave much to be desired.
Any headphone with a B next to the number, IE:
(2-B) indicates that it's a bass heavy headphone.
Any headphone with an m next to it denotes that a mic/remote option is available.
Each link will be noted as such up to three reviews per headphone at the end of the descriptions.

(3) Stax 4070, $1,824. Requires a special electrostatic amp. Electrostatic headphone. Designed for monitoring, very detailed and unforgiving. A bit heavy but good comfort.
Retired Headphones
These headphones are no longer produced but are still highly regarded among audio enthusiasts and have withstood the test of time.

Brasília and the West Restaurant Reviews
As the capital, Brasília attracts citizens from throughout the country as well as dignitaries from around the world. You can find a variety of regional cuisines as well as international fare. Brasília also has plenty of "per kilo" restaurants, usually decently priced cafeteria-like places where you pay according to the weight of your plate. Except for fish dishes in the Pantanal, the food here is neither as interesting nor as flavorful as that found elsewhere in the country. That said, the food is hearty, and the meals are large; affordable all-you-can-eat buffets are everywhere.

February 2nd, 2011: Remember the Canadian usage-based billing petition I linked to yesterday? The Prime Minister has ordered a review of the decision to make Canada's internet access extremely terrible, due March 1st, which is great. We've still got to keep pressure on till then, but this is a really good sign! If you're Canadian I'd encourage you to sign the petition.
Yesterday I signed 160 books for people and I'm doing the same thing today! Popular clothing requests include top hat (NICE) and Batman costumes (NICE). T-Rex is a classy guy, especially when I draw him in those fancy duds! Unfortunately the signed book option is gone now as I have to go back to Canada tomorrow. To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

Launch International shares Thoughtful Selling™ model at Forrester Sales Enablement Forum
Posted: February 27th, 2013 | Author: Jim Moliski | Filed under: Content Strategy, Sales Enablement, Thought leadership, Uncategorized | No Comments »Is your company providing unique insights into customer problems and how to solve them? Can your salespeople deliver those insights in executive conversations?
At the Sales Enablement Forum in Scottsdale, Arizona (March 4-5) Launch International will discuss Thoughtful Selling strategies for delivering unique insights that lead to strategic customer relationships.
According to Forrester Research, only "13% of executive buyers believe that a salesperson can clearly show they understand their business issues and articulate a way to solve them." Salespeople who push products rather than solve problems face declining win rates and heavy discounting. In the future they will lose more to competitors who know how to get marketing and sales on the same page in speaking to buyer issues.
Launch will show how leading companies are developing strategic customer relationships by:
- Creating unique insights that speak to buyer problems
- Communicating those insights through effective campaigns
- Enabling all customer facing employees to have effective two-way conversations
Join Launch International at Booth #103 to learn more.

April 20 (Bloomberg) -- Copper traders are bullish for the first time in six weeks on mounting confidence that demand will accelerate in line with economies at a time when mining companies are already failing to keep up with consumption.
Eleven of 29 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect the metal to climb next week and 10 were neutral. Rio Tinto Group, based in London, said April 17 that its first-quarter copper output slid 18 percent because the ore mined contained less metal. Codelco, the largest copper producer, said the following day that it sees no weakening in Chinese buying. Barclays Capital is predicting a third consecutive year of shortages.
The International Monetary Fund raised its global growth forecast for the first time in more than a year on April 17. Industrial production in China, the biggest copper consumer, expanded 11.9 percent in March, exceeding economists' forecasts, the government said April 13. The Bank of Japan is "committed" to monetary easing to shore up the economy, Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said April 18.
"You're beginning to see an improvement in global growth," said Nic Brown, the head of research at Natixis Commodity Markets Ltd. in London. "China has a slightly slower growth rate, but the economy itself is growing so rapidly that it represents a very substantial increase in demand. You're going to have a very substantial copper deficit this year."
Copper rose 5.4 percent to $8,011.75 a metric ton this year on the London Metal Exchange, rebounding from a 21 percent decline in 2011. The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities climbed 4.5 percent and the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities advanced 8.8 percent. Treasuries lost less than 0.1 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
More Stimulus
Central banks are keeping open options for further stimulus to sustain growth that spurred investors to add about $4.81 trillion to the value of global equities this year. Federal Reserve policy makers Janet Yellen and William C. Dudley endorsed the view last week that the Fed should hold its target rate for overnight loans between banks near zero through 2014. North America uses about 11 percent of the world's copper, China 40 percent and Japan 5 percent, according to Barclays.
The bank predicts a shortage of 278,000 tons this year, almost enough to supply Europe for a month. Stockpiles monitored by the LME dropped 29 percent since the start of January while those tracked by the Comex exchange in New York declined 7.6 percent, data from the bourses show.
Investor confidence in Germany, Europe's largest economy, unexpectedly rose to a two-year high in April, the ZEW Center for European Economic Research said April 17. U.S. consumer confidence matched a four-year high in the week ended April 15, the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index shows. The IMF raised its global growth outlook to 3.5 percent from 3.3 percent.
Near-Term Supply
Copper for immediate delivery costs $75 a ton more than the benchmark three-month contract on the LME and the premium reached $114 on April 17, the most since 2008. While that might indicate mounting concern about near-term supply, it also may be a result of the ownership of inventories. One unidentified party held 80 percent to 89 percent of reserves and open positions for the next three days as of April 17, bourse data show.
The premium will probably decline in the next two months as China taps stockpiles and imports decline, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a report yesterday. The nation's inventories in bonded warehouses that are exempt from a value-added tax and import duties have surged to more than 600,000 tons, from less than 100,000 tons in 2008, the bank estimates.
China's copper imports were 462,182 tons in March, 4.6 percent less than in February, customs data show. The nation's economy expanded 8.1 percent in the first quarter, the slowest pace in almost three years, according to government data.
Next page: Europe's role
Europe Crisis
Copper prices fell to a three-month low earlier this week on concern that Europe's debt crisis will derail the region's recovery. The IMF anticipates the 17-nation euro region will contract 0.3 percent this year. Europe uses about 18 percent of the world's copper and regional demand will slip 2 percent this year, Barclays estimates.
Hedge funds and other speculators cut their wagers on higher prices by 84 percent in the week ended April 10 to 2,955 U.S. futures and options, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission show.
Copper will average $9,000 a ton in the third quarter, the highest quarterly average in a year, according to the median estimate of the top five industrial metals analysts in Bloomberg Rankings in the past two years. Prices reached an all-time high of $10,190 in February 2011.
'Quite Tight'
"Supply and demand continue to look quite tight for this year," Diego Hernandez, chief executive officer of Codelco, said in an interview in Santiago on April 18. "The industry is optimistic we will have a very good year again."
In other commodities, 15 of 31 traders and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg said gold would gain next week and six were neutral. Futures on Comex increased 5.4 percent to $1,651.60 an ounce this year. Prices gained the previous 11 years and holdings in gold-backed exchange-traded products are about 0.7 percent below the record 2,410.2 tons set March 13, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Six of 13 people surveyed expect raw-sugar prices to decline next week and four were neutral. The commodity slipped 5.1 percent to 22.12 cents a pound on ICE Futures U.S. in New York this year.
Fourteen of 27 people surveyed anticipate lower corn prices next week, while 16 of 28 said soybeans will retreat. Corn dropped 6.1 percent to $6.07 a bushel this year as soybeans advanced 18 percent to $14.2825 a bushel.
"It's going to be a bit rocky for the next month or two," said Dan Smith, an analyst at Standard Chartered Plc in London. "The situation around Europe has deteriorated. The view on liquidity is really important."

Where Do The Warriors Go From Here?
Posted By Jason Fleming On May 26, 2012 @ 12:00 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
At the beginning of the 2011-12 NBA season new head coach Mark Jackson proclaimed the goal of the Golden State Warriors was to make the playoffs and anything else would be a disappointment. The Warriors went on to win only 23 games and finish just two games out of last place in the Western Conference.
Despite the preseason proclamation from the coach, this was always going to be a bit of a rebuilding year for the Warriors.
After failing to secure center DeAndre Jordan in free agency – the L.A. Clippers matched the offer sheet he signed with Golden State as a restricted free agent – the team then spent the rest of its cap room on Kwame Brown. Brown missed the entire season due to injury, something that became a theme with the Warriors and ended with them starting five rookies in the last game of the season. Stephen Curry missed 40 games with ankle issues. David Lee missed nine games and had knee surgery. At the trade deadline the Warriors sent leading scorer Monta Ellis to Milwaukee in a deal to get center Andrew Bogut, who was already out for the year with injury.
The Roster
The Warriors have nine players under contract for 2012-13, totaling $56.7 million. While that's a little bit under the expected salary cap, cap holds will push them over the top – meaning they will only have the Mid-Level Exception and Bi-Annual Exception to spend on free agents. Those nine include their full starting lineup of Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt, David Lee and Dorrell Wright at the forward spots, and Bogut at center. Presuming Curry, Lee and Bogut are healthy to begin training camp in the fall that's a lineup that can be very explosive. Defense, a focus of Coach Jackson, could still be an issue, but having a center like Bogut in the middle fixes a lot of issues.
The other four players under contract – Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins, Charles Jenkins and Jeremy Tyler – all can fill a role. Jefferson and Biedrins may be overpriced for what they bring to the table, but the reality is it would be very difficult to move them for anything of value. That's a solid core.
The Coach
Jackson is safe, for now. He tried to institute a radically different philosophy on his roster, one focusing on defense and hustle rather than trying to outscore the opponent. Considering the roster was constructed specifically to score, it's not surprising there were issues. With the trade of Ellis for Bogut, Jackson now has a more traditional lineup to work with, focusing on Curry to initiate offense and Bogut to anchor the D.
Will Jackson, going into only his second year of coaching, be able to fully implement his ideas and see his players carry them out? There is no doubting Jackson's basketball IQ and he managed okay with what he had in 2011-12, but there will be little margin for error in 2012-13. The move to the San Francisco waterfront is still many years off – beyond the contract of any player on the roster – but the franchise wants to start building a winning tradition to bring with them across the Bay. These Warriors are still rebuilding, but Jackson's leash will gradually get shorter and shorter if they don't produce results.
The Draft
The Warriors are going to be busy on draft night. Barring the unexpected in the Draft Lottery, they will pick seventh and 30th in the first round (the Spurs pick for taking the contract of Jefferson for Stephen Jackson), plus 35th and 52nd in the second round. With nine players already under contract – again, a full starting lineup as well as good bench contributors – look for the Warriors to take the best players available each time. They could also try and package 30 and 35 to move up to the mid-20s if that interests someone.
At seven expect the Warriors to pick the best of what's left from the group of Jared Sullinger, Perry Jones and Terrence Jones. All of them would become instant rotation players and add some depth to the frontcourt. They may go big again at 30, looking at whose left from Fab Melo, Arnett Moultrie and Andrew Nicholson.
In the second round expect for them to go for some guards that could provide depth behind Thompson, Curry and Jenkins. At 35 they choose from the likes of Jared Cunningham, Doron Lamb and John Jenkins. Later, players like Will Buford, Tu Holloway and J'Covan Brown would be solid picks.
Free Agency
The Warriors have just one key free agent in Brandon Rush. If they choose to issue him a Qualifying Offer and make him restricted, that will be for $4.4 million (higher than the initial QO of $4.1 million because he played over 1,610 minutes in 2011-12, thus getting a bump under the new CBA rules). They would like to keep him, but considering the majority of the minutes at the two will be going to Thompson they won't break the bank. It's entirely possible that, depending on the market, Rush could just sign the one-year, $4.4 million deal.
In free agency the Warriors should look for an athletic three who can play some defense and a veteran point guard with their exceptions. Leandro Barbosa would be a nice fit, though he is more of a two than a one. Jonny Flynn or Randy Foye could be solid choices to back up Curry. There aren't a lot of options at the three, but Sam Young is a player the Warriors should take a look at and see how much he would cost. Another option that makes sense is a defensive power forward who can rebound. Lou Amundson would be a nice fit behind Lee.
One other noteworthy item is this summer the Warriors can lock up Stephen Curry long-term if they sign him to an extension to his rookie scale contract (he is eligible for restricted free agency in 2013). Considering his production when healthy and the fact he missed so many games, expect talks to happen but for the player to be looking for more than the team is willing to offer at this point in time. Had Curry played a full, healthy season in 2011-12 locking him up would be a no-brainer, but the missed games will lower what the team is willing to offer (normally this is how it works, but of course the Warriors could choose to do things differently and offer him top dollar anyway).
On paper the Warriors look like a team who could make a jump into playoff contention next year. They have talent, they have youth, they have the ability to fill their gaps – which don't include needing a starter – with exceptions, and they have a coach who now has a year of experience. If Bogut and Curry can bounce back from their injuries these Warriors could have a lot of highs in 2012-13. If they once again struggle to stay healthy, things could get ugly.

A boutique quality bass with Ibanez craftsmanship and thoughtful design at an affordable price.

At some point the word "boutique" comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously crafted instrument. But what about the price? That's where Ibanez comes in. Their ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased by BTB series basses.

The BTB's much deeper cutaways allow effortless access to the upper frets. The Mono-Rail bridge delivers the ultimate in string-to-string isolation, meaning that each string vibrates optimally without be affected by the others. BTB's string spacing is 19mm for 5-strings, and 17mm for 6-strings, offering more freedom on the fretboard, and comfortable access for finger picking and slapping. Nordstrand "Big Single" pickups provide the clarity of single coil pickups, while the large body gives players a full and aggressive tone. 3-band EQ with mid frequency switch fine-tuned specifically for the BTB. The active 3-band EQ features fully independent bass, treble, and mid Controls with a wide boost/cut range. The preamp system is equipped with a mid-frequency select switch, enabling you to instantly select 250Hz and 600Hz - the heart of the mid zone - for a more dynamic and ideal tone. its Neutrik locking jack provides stable and secure connections, preventing accidental disconnect or shock and vibration.

WHEATON, MN - An amazing and surreal spectacle in the skies over Minnesota.
This is video of the northern lights glowing green and flashing over the skies near Wheaton this morning.
The phenomenon is also known as the Aurora Borealis.
It's caused by something called a coronal mass ejection or CME. That's when the sun releases a massive burst of solar wind, sending billions of particles into space.
NASA says the CME hit Earth's magnetic field last weekend. It caused a geomagnetic storm that we see here on Earth as the northern lights.
NASA also says CME's can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.

MORRISON, COLO. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be joined by running mate Paul Ryan, Kid Rock and Rodney Atkins for a rally at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Tuesday evening. The Republican ticket hopes to use the famous concert venue to juice up the GOP faithful as early voting continues in Colorado.
The amphitheater is best known as the setting for the U2 concert film "Under A Blood Red Sky."
President Barack Obama will swing through Denver on Wednesday for an afternoon rally in City Park. The frenzied campaigning marks the end of the presidential race.
Polls show an essentially deadlocked contest nationally and in Colorado. That means voter enthusiasm and turnout will be pivotal. This week's events are geared toward galvanizing each side's voters.

Highlights of a Forum Convened by the Comptroller General of the United States:
Enhancing U.S. Partnerships in Countering Transnational Terrorism
GAO-08-887SP, Jul 31, 2008
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-7331
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The United States and the international community have stressed that a coordinated response is required to address the global threat from transnational terrorism. Multilateral engagements provide opportunities to foster relationships with traditional and nontraditional partner countries. Partnerships also can raise common awareness of the threat and build the trust necessary to share information that could prevent and detect terrorist acts. GAO convened a forum on April 22, 2008, to advance the dialogue on how partnerships can mitigate the conditions that foster transnational terrorism and to identify potential strategies for overcoming challenges faced in engaging in such partnerships. Participants included representatives from U.S. government agencies, foreign embassies, nongovernmental and multilateral organizations, policy institutes, the private sector, and academia. The forum focused on (1) the partnership efforts and key practices of the U.S. government and its partners, (2) challenges to these efforts and practices, and (3) strategies to overcome the challenges. Comments expressed during the proceedings do not necessarily represent the views of all participants, the organizations they represent, or GAO. Participants reviewed a draft of this summary, and their comments were incorporated, as appropriate.
Forum participants discussed the types of partnerships or initiatives they have engaged in to counter the enabling environment that fosters transnational terrorism. Some of the partnership activities that participants cited include information sharing, training and capacity building, dialogue and education on counterterrorism, and conducting on-the-ground assessments. A few participants voiced concerns that certain labels for partnership programs could limit program effectiveness. Some participants also described characteristics of effective partnerships, such as shared objectives and common understanding of terminology. Participants identified and ranked the challenges they currently face or have perceived in their partnerships to combat transnational terrorism. The top five challenges were (1) cultural differences and lack of trust, (2) differences in political views/foreign policy objectives, (3) differences in relationships with states from which extremists emerge, (4) lack of funding, and (5) lack of consensus about the underlying causes of terrorism. Participants discussed strategies for overcoming some of the challenges. A few participants suggested that funding for counterterrorism programs and activities be made more flexible, so that it could be allocated where needed and have the most impact. Some participants indicated it would be helpful to gain a better understanding of extremist ideologies and the underlying causes of terrorism before making decisions about funding. A few participants also mentioned that knowledge and "practical capacity" in countering terrorism need to be integrated, so that the United States and its partners can gain a better understanding of extremism and current adversaries.
