Micro fiber is a technological marvel created out of polyester polyamides. Each fine fiber is several hundred times smaller than a strand of cotton! This creates non-abrasive ends which are super soft and provide many additional benefits. Micro fiber absorbs seven times its weight in liquid and soaks up water like a chamois. The non-abrasive, wedge shaped micro fibers lift and trap wax and polish better than cotton and are lint-free. This makes wiping go faster. Made in many grades from cheap to premium, our micro fiber is the finest and has been tested thoroughly. Machine wash and dry (don't use fabric softener, bleach or iron). Set includes six cloths; color coded for Best of Show Wax®, Premium Carnauba Paste Wax, Paint Sealant, or Cleaner Wax (white) and polish, Complete Compound™, One-Step Sealant, or Paint Glaze (yellow). A generous 15 3/4" x 15 3/4" square. My favorite, and they will be yours, too.

Adam Platt on Brushstroke; Where to Dine in Chicago

In the magazine this week, Adam Platt reviews Brushstroke, David Bouley's kaiseki-style Japanese restaurant. He finds the space itself, in the former home of Secession and Danube before that, redone "in the spare, woodsy style of a Shinto shrine." While this is pleasant, there are some "unexpected, vaguely annoying wrinkles to the proceedings," chief among them a rule forbidding the ordering of sushi in the main dining room. That section of the menu must be consumed while "crouched in the bar," yet our critic's skepticism is eased when he tastes the "impeccably made maki rolls," "milky, rose-colored o-toro tuna belly," and other delectable morsels. The "excellent cooking" carries over to the main dining room, where Platt consumes a ten-course, "stately, slightly archaic prix fixe meal" including dishes like a "smoky bowl of clam broth filled with crunchy tips of white asparagus" and "cool, faintly candied strips of duck breast smoked in sencha tea"; in all, the restaurant receives two stars.

Meanwhile, Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld have been busy keeping up with the city's openings. There's Salinas, a Spanish place in Chelsea; gelato shop Amorino, an Italian import that specializes in flower-shaped scoops; and Victory Garden, also dishing frozen creamy scoops, in this case with the tang of goat's milk. The Robs also have the story on Rhubarb, currently in season, and ready to be simmered with spices like cardamom and nutmeg and served over yogurt. Lastly, this issue travels to Chicago, so if you go, here's where to eat.

Time to sharpen skates as Market Square rink gets ready for winter

Guelph Mercury

GUELPH — Sharpen up your skates, the rink’s almost ready.

City officials expect to open the skating rink at Market Square in front of city hall by the end of this month.

Specifically, officials are hoping, if the weather co-operates, to have the rink ready for skates before the Winter Lights and Music event the evening of Nov. 30.

City staff this week have been switching the space over from a splash pad to rink, installing an “ice dam” over the surface and rubber mats around it.

The refrigeration equipment has been tested and is ready “so toward the end of next week if the weather is co-operating we can start building up the ice pad,” said Mario Petricevic, general manager of municipal building maintenance.

Petricevic said ideally there should be below-freezing temperatures overnight “but during the day we definitely need the refrigeration equipment when the sun is out. As long as it stays below seven or eight degrees (during the day) we should be OK.”

Temperatures are expected to increase through next week before cooling off again by next weekend “which is when we’re aiming to start building up the ice pad,” Petricevic said.

The opening is expected Nov. 30, when the city will hold the official festive lighting of the downtown squares.

The evening begins at St. George’s Square at 6 p.m., followed by a candlelit procession to Market Square for the lighting of city hall and the opening of the rink at 7 p.m.

But Petricevic said if the weather is on board, the rink will likely open at 10 a.m. that day.

Winners and losers in the fiscal-cliff deal

Winners and losers in the fiscal-cliff deal

Guelph Mercury

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats and Republicans reached a deal to undo most of the so-called “fiscal cliff” by extending the majority of the Bush tax cuts while levying Clinton-era rates on households with more than $450,000 in income. The sequester cuts agreed to as part of the 2011 deal on the debt ceiling will be delayed for two months and perhaps ultimately replaced by some other package. But the details packed into this deal reveal the real winners and losers:

Rich people: Raising the threshold for higher taxes from $250,000 to $450,000 is a big tax cut for all kinds of rich people, not just those with adjusted gross incomes between the two figures. That’s because taxes are assessed on marginal income, meaning that even if you make $600,000 or even $1 million a year you still have a very large share of your income that’s taxed at a lower rate thanks to this deal.

Red State Democrats: Democrats currently hold a majority of seats in the Senate thanks to senators from such not-so-liberal states such as Louisiana, Arkansas, South Dakota and West Virginia. If the U.S. had gone over the cliff, this is the group that would be caught in the Obama-Boehner crossfire. A deal lets them duck partisan controversy, which is right where they want to be.

Unemployed people: The deal includes funding for a one-year extension of supplemental unemployment insurance benefits. It’s easy for liberals to dismiss this as a GOP concession on a temporary issue in exchange for permanent tax cuts, but it’ll make a big difference in the lives of the unemployed.

Doctors: Neither Democrats nor Republicans favoured implementing the large cuts in Medicare reimbursement rates for physicians that were scheduled by law, but there was a partisan dispute about how to orchestrate a so-called “doc fix” for 2013 and cliff diving might have at least temporarily hit doctors in their wallets. This deal completely punts on all kinds of substantive issues related to the reimbursement rate issue, but it guarantees that the money will keep flowing for now.

The elderly: As recently as Monday morning, it was taken for granted that one of the major provisions of an alternative to the fiscal cliff would be cuts in the federal retirement security programs that are the main long-term drivers of deficits. But ultimately Democrats cared more about avoiding spending cuts than securing tax revenues, and Republicans cared more about low taxes than cutting spending. Old people are the winners.

“Grand Bargaineers”: David Weigel has written elegantly for Slate about Pete Peterson’s decades-long failure to move the needle on deficit reduction, and this week Peterson has failed yet again. The “fiscal cliff” was his best chance yet to secure a grand bargain of big tax hikes and major spending cuts by creating an artificial political crisis that supposedly could only be defused with a huge deficit reduction package. But the win for the elderly was a catastrophic defeat for the grand bargain.

Fighting Democrats: The Obama administration has gotten a lot done since Inauguration Day 2009, but what it’s never done is give strong partisan Democrats the kind of to-the-mattresses battle against the GOP that they crave. Most liberals think — and I agree — that had we simply gone over the cliff and had Obama simply insisted on a new tax cut bill with a $250,000 threshold, he ultimately would have won. But success was by no means guaranteed, and ultimately the White House chose not to risk further re-enforcing a sense that the president is a weak poker player.

Grover Norquist: The leader of Americans for Tax Reform is hardly the key to anti-tax thinking on the right. But his particular gimmick, a “pledge” to never cast an affirmative vote for higher taxes, had become influential on its own terms. The White House and other pro-deal Democrats see breaking this taboo as an important precedent-setter in its own right.

The economy: The deal is being characterized as one aimed at “stopping taxes from going up on middle class families,” but in fact the expiration of the payroll tax holiday means that taxes will go up on working people. Obama started the fiscal cliff talks aiming to extend the holiday or replace it with some other new stimulus ideas. That’s all fallen by the wayside now and for the next two months, the markets will have the shadow of a debt ceiling standoff lurking over its head.

Woman holds judge-ordered ‘idiot’ sign after driving around a Cleveland school bus

Guelph Mercury

CLEVELAND — A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children stood in the cold at an intersection holding a sign warning people about idiots.

A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to serve the highly public sentence for one hour Tuesday and Wednesday.

She arrived bundled up against the 34-degree cold, puffing a cigarette, wearing head phones and avoiding comment as passing vehicles honked.

Satellite TV trucks were on hand to stream the event live near downtown Cleveland.

The sign read: “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.”

Hardin's license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.

The difficult search for peace in the Middle East

The difficult search for peace in the Middle East

Guelph Mercury

If I slipped into a coma four years ago while watching the news about developments in the Gaza Strip and woke up this week, I might have thought I just dozed off for a few minutes.

In 2008, emergency meetings were called by the UN and world leaders to broker yet another fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel to prevent what many saw as an imminent ground offensive by Israeli troops.

The sad fact of the matter is that the only time the international community focuses intensely enough on the problems in this volatile region is when violence erupts.

Of course, we are talking about an escalation in violence not the white noise of small arms fire violence or the violence that permeates the security walls and barbwire that have come to symbolize more than six decades of occupation and containment.

Violence is the voice of extremists. Violence has been the response to violence. And the victims of that violence are all too often the innocent — the children.

Whenever innocent people, and especially children, are killed it is described as a regrettable accident. In the case of the 24 Palestinian children recently killed by Israeli airstrikes, Israel has said Hamas is at fault for launching rockets from populated areas. It would be better if they put them out in the middle of a deserted field so they are easier to bomb.

No one can condemn Israel for trying to destroy the rockets before they are launched on their innocent civilians. They would be negligent not to.

Even U.S. President Barack Obama has publicly defended Israel’s right to respond rockets launching into their country.

Lost in this rhetoric of tit-for-tat — what came first the chicken or the egg — debate is the fact that the Palestinian territory is under a blockade and military occupation by Israel.

I have long felt that Hamas has done more to hurt the cause of Palestinian independence then help. How can anyone defend the acts of a government that launches rockets indiscriminately into populated areas of innocent civilians? The world can take cold comfort in the impotence and incompetence of their targeting. Most rockets land in open fields or unpopulated outskirts of cities such as Tel Aviv or, recently, Jerusalem, but they are unlikely the intended targets.

Last count they have killed three innocent civilians. In contrast, Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 100 Palestinians.

The area is a breeding ground for conspiracy theories and one of the most resilient is that Hamas is, knowingly, or unwittingly, controlled by the Mossad, Israel’s equivalent of the CIA. The theory has persisted because the philosophy and actions of Hamas have helped the opponents to Palestinian independence and justified military actions by Israel. Every time it appears the two sides are on the precipice of a peaceful settlement, Hamas provokes a violent response from Israel.

Their missiles, it is reported, are produced by and, according to several reports, procured by Iran — a country Israel has been threatening to attack for years.

Hamas has given legitimacy to the hawkish policies of hardliners such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Its refusal to recognize the legitimacy of Israel has made any kind of two-state solution untenable for Israel and its violent opposition to moderate voices within Palestine has dashed hopes of a unified voice for independence.

Of course, to believe conspiracy theories of this nature we have to accept the idea that people in power would willingly sacrifice the lives of their own innocent civilians for political or military gain.

The far more obvious conclusion is that all the violence has just created more violence and the louder the bombs, the harder it is to hear the call for peace.

Gaels, Royals to meet in D10 football final

Guelph Mercury

GUELPH — The Guelph CVI Green Gaels posted a surprise, while the Ross Royals avoided one in a shootout.

The Gaels and Royals won semifinal matches Friday at Alumni Stadium to advance to next Friday’s District 10 high school football championship game, likely at Alumni Stadium.

Third-place GCVI scored three touchdowns in the second quarter on their way to a 35-22 win over the second-place Lourdes Crusaders in the first semifinal.

“We prepared pretty well during the week for this,” GCVI receiver Evan Geddis said. He scored two touchdowns for the Gaels. “We played a full (48) minutes of football and we played hard.”

“Our guys came out and played exceptionally well,” GCVI coach Blair Rickers said. “Our offence, our defence were both outstanding. Our special teams were a little shaky. But they have some outstanding players and they’re a very good team, but our guys played exceptionally well together. We maybe don’t have the stars that they do, but we have guys that play together. They play hard and they play smart.”

Charles Carrier scored his second touchdown of the game one play after an offside call on St. James on a Ross field goal. The penalty gave the Royals a first down at the 11-yard line. The touchdown gave Ross a 20-17 win in the second semifinal.

“It had to be done,” Carrier said of the scoring run. “I saw the loss flash before my eyes and it was do or die at that point. It was do or die.”

“They played a fantastic game,” Ross coach Jeff Yanchus said of the Lions. “That’s the best I’ve seen a St. James team play in five or 10 years. They came in with lots of spirit. They had a game plan and they made lots of that game plan work. We were fortunate to get out of there with a win.”

A big first half by the Gaels led to their victory. They led 7-0 after the first quarter and 28-6 at the half before the Crusaders narrowed the gap to 28-14 after the third quarter.

“Everything was clicking,” Rickers said. “We had to get off to a good start against these guys because when they get ahead, they’re unbelievable as far as finishing games. It was huge for us to get up a bit.”

Geddis led the Gaels with his two touchdowns, while Job Reinhart, Jacob Ingram and David Wesley-James each had one. Connor Courtney kicked five converts.

“I saw the ball in the air and I knew they were important and that I had to come down with it,” Geddis said of his touchdowns. “The points were important for this game.”

Nick Parisotto scored two touchdowns for Lourdes, while Jeremy Kennedy had a touchdown and a two-point convert and Riley Gaskill-Kennedy also scored a two-point convert.

The Royals and Lions were scoreless until Dan Tessari plowed into the end zone for St. James on a two-yard run with 40 seconds to go in the third quarter. Emilio Pivato kicked the convert.

But Jordan Hofstra’s return of the kickoff deep into St. James territory gave the Royals good field position that they turned into a touchdown. Tommy Yanchus scored on an eight-yard pass from Alex Turvey on the first play of the fourth quarter. Bobby Mackenzie added the convert.

Carrier put Ross ahead with a two-yard touchdown run four minutes later. Mackenzie booted the convert.

The Lions sent the game into the shootout when Tessari scored a touchdown on a 61-yard catch-and-run play after hauling down a pass from Alex Daniel. Pivato added the convert.

In the shootout, each team started a possession at the opponent’s 35-yard line. They kept the ball until they ran out of downs or scored. The teams elected to have the wind with their offences.

“It was tense,” Carrier said. “None of us wanted to lose, so it was really tense.”

“It’s pretty tight,” coach Yanchus said. “You do a lot of work and it’s all riding on one play. Their kid did a great job with a long field goal, so we had to score. We were fortunate that they got the penalty and that gave us a second chance.”

The Lions took the lead on the first possession when Pivato connected for a 45-yard field goal.

The Royals were going to settle for a second possession for each team after Mackenzie hit for a 22-yard field goal, but the offside by the Lions kept the Ross possession alive and set the stage for the winning touchdown.

Next Friday’s football final will start two days of D10 championships. The boys’ volleyball finals are slated for Friday night at the Mitchell Athletics Centre and the girls’ basketball title games will be played there Saturday night.

Come and join us

Happy student

Current PostDoctoral positions are advertised at the top right of this page, but Group Leaders are always keen to hear from suitable, motivated researchers looking to develop their careers.

If you are a prospective PhD student, two avenues are open to you: if you are able to identify the field in which you would like to work, then you can approach any of the Group Leaders directly. Such applications are welcome at any time - send an email with your CV attached. Please note that we receive a great number of direct enquiries and applications, and while we endeavour to acknowledge and respond to them all promptly, sometimes we cannot be as prompt as we would like. Please be patient. There are many funding opportunities available for these places, and the Group Leader will discuss these if you are invited for interview.

Socialising at the Institute retreat

The alternative approach is to apply for a place on the (very competitive and generously funded) Wellcome Trust 4yr PhD Programme. This programme provides students with an opportunity to spend time in a variety of labs (perhaps working with a variety of model organisms) during their first 'rotation' year, before making a decision about where they'd like to specialise. Applications are considered once each year, and are subject to a schedule of deadlines for various funding and administration processes - please refer to the website for more information. Note that some of our Group Leaders do not participate in this programme, and will only consider direct applications.

AKA Nationals?

Anyone go/there? i heard that registration was quite low.....but nothing at all on the forum?
noticed that even Kitelife has not done their usual daily reports....

There are a fair amount of facebook mentions . I think John is a little tied up as AKA pres to be doing his usual updates.
I'm really sad not to have been able to go this year.

We were there. I don't have any numbers, but I feel it might have been bigger than Enid. Good time.

Between 160 - 170.  Lots of participation by everyone, had a good number of kites in the sky most of the time.  Winds died out Friday, stunt kiters had a difficult time in competition but persevered!

Officially, attendance at Seaside was 158 people, as per Bob Kelly.

We'll look to do much better than that when AKA comes to the Outer Banks - Kitty Hawk / Nags Head area next year.

Five Marketing Lessons from Fantasy Football

Fantasy football is unique: It combines something incredibly masculine with something incredibly nerdy. It’s like the high school quarterback and the captain of the Dungeons and Dragons Club got together, became best friends and created the most popular game in school.

Surprising to some, fantasy football first started back in 1962 when the late Wilfred “Bill” Winkenbach created a private eight-team league called the GOPPPL (Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League). While acronyms were not his strength, Bill was the first fantasy football commissioner and is considered the father of the modern fantasy football we enjoy today. Fantasy football was played offline for years until the advent of the Internet rocket-launched it in the late 1990s from a niche hobby to a multimillion-dollar industry reaching 30 million online players last year in the United States and Canada.

So how did it happen? How did a product like fantasy football go from being an idea to a best seller? What can we learn from fantasy football that can help us get our customers to participate more with our brand? Here are five lessons we can take away from fantasy football:

1. It’s participatory and social. Before Facebook became Facebook, there was fantasy football. From the beginning, it brought people from various locations and backgrounds together around a common interest. Fantasy football players invite everyone they know to participate, becoming brand evangelists for the NFL, bringing in people who might not otherwise be interested in football, but are interested in participating in the social aspect of it.

For example, the female demographic, a group the NFL has historically had trouble attracting, are signing up for fantasy football in record numbers. Of the 30 million users last year, 6.5 million of them were women. This fact could be one of the big reasons why more and more women are becoming NFL fans in recent years.

2. It gives NFL fans a place to “geek out.” It’s like Comic-Con for jocks. Or like writing your own Harry Potter fan fiction. Fantasy football players are essentially creating their own NFL fan fiction. They are building a make-believe team with their favorite players and creating a make-believe season all their own. Fantasy football is the vehicle that lets participants not just watch their favorite sport, but also control it, personalize it and make it their own.

Brands need to create a place like this where fans can become fanatics and share their fandom with others—a breeding ground for brand evangelists. The benefit of giving your best customers a place to expand on their love is that it keeps them engaged long after the initial experience is over. The games don’t have to be over after Monday night anymore. The games continue 24/7. And the more your audience is engaged with your brand, the better business will be.

3. It was created by fans and embraced by the NFL. The NFL could have been threatened by fantasy football leagues, viewed it as a competitor, had it shut down or at least stifled. But it didn’t.

The NFL has been a continual supporter of fantasy football since it exploded online. It hosts its own fantasy football platform, devotes a huge chunk of its website to fantasy football news, articles and blogs, publishes a fantasy football preview magazine and, in 2011, directed clubs to post fantasy football points on their scoreboards at the live games next to the other typical scores and stats.

Why? Fantasy football is the single most important marketing tool used by the NFL.

Fantasy sports players watch more games, buy more tickets and spend more money at stadiums than other sports fans. Fantasy football has had a significant impact on rising popularity and prosperity of football, and the NFL knows it. And supporting this type of user-generated content has yielded huge returns.

4. It’s not dumbed down. Fantasy football can get very complicated. Winning your league’s championship requires a lot of study, work and strategy. But here’s the beauty of it: Fantasy football attracts droves of new users because of its complexity, not in spite of it. It’s a real challenge, a game worth mastering, a game that’s never the same twice, not a throwaway gimmick created in five minutes by an overworked marketing manager late for a meeting. At the same time, however, the idea is simple enough that even people who don’t know football can still understand and enjoy playing it.

Granted, overly complicated ideas are out there, and, in general, keeping things simple is a good rule of thumb. My point is not to ignore or discount something simply because it is complicated. Respect the intelligence of your target market, and if the game or tool is designed well and married with something familiar (like the NFL), complication can win you more users and fans, not fewer.

5. Simply put, it’s just fun. Fantasy football is just plain fun. You get to build your own football team from your favorite players and compete against your friends. It’s a great idea. And when it comes down to it, the most important thing is having a solid idea.

I’ve seen a lot of marketing materials, initiatives and tools that are all facts and sales, but no solid idea, nothing to engage the target market or stand out from the information overload. To grab and hold people’s attention, you need a solid idea that includes one or more of the following elements:

-It should be interesting, not just informative.

-It should be entertaining and fun.

-It should be useful, or function as a useful tool.

-It needs to be different and unique, even something common done in a truly unique way.

If your communications aren’t based on a solid, humanly relevant idea with benefits that draw people in, then why would I waste my time with it?

Fantasy football has changed the very game it was based on, and for the better. Marketers can learn a lot from the rise of NFL fantasy football in their own marketing efforts—how one great idea that lets your best customers take the reins of your brand can change the way you do business forever. And, yes, that’s a good thing.

CA DigiNotar bankrupt after SSL certificate debacle

  • submit to reddit

SSL Lock US-based company VASCO Data Security International has announced that its Dutch subsidiary, the DigiNotar certificate authority (CA), filed for voluntary bankruptcy in the Haarlem District Court, The Netherlands on Monday 19 September and was officially declared bankrupt on 20 September. A bankruptcy trustee, under the supervision of a judge, has now taken over the management of DigiNotar and will work to liquidate the company.

The Dutch government took over DigiNotar after it was discovered that the company had been compromised and had been used to issue bogus SSL certificates for various major sites, including ones which were used to intercept email in Iran. As further information emerged, the Dutch Telecommunications regulator barred the company from issuing qualified certificates and browser makers issued updates for their products to revoke the untrustworthy root certificates.

In the announcement, VASCO Chairman and CEO T. Kendall Hunt said that "the incident at DigiNotar has no impact on VASCO's core authentication technology," adding that the infrastructures of VASCO and DigiNotar continue to remain completely separated. The executive also notes that the company plans to fully cooperate with the Dutch government in its investigation into those responsible for the attack on DigiNotar.

The inefficient permit system keeps Palestinians separate from and dependent on Israel, says Berda. Photo by Nir Kafri
Berda calls the lack of a clear authority in the Palestinian territories, the ‘the phenomenon of the phantom sovereign.’ Photo by AP

"The Bureaucracy of Occupation: The Permit Regime in the West Bank 2000–2006," by Yael Berda, allows us to peek “over the shoulder of the military bureaucrat,” as Max Weber, one of the founders of modern sociology, put it. Berda, a practicing lawyer, specializes in administrative and constitutional law and is a research student at Princeton University. In her book, she surveys the administrative system of the Israeli occupation of the territories, exposing the day-to-day work of the clerks, the organizational devices and the rituals that manage the Israeli occupation in the territories.

“The permit regime is the world’s largest and most developed mechanism for filtering, identifying and restricting the movement of a large civilian population,” says Berda. “Since the Oslo Accords, Palestinians from the territories have needed entry permits to enter Israel. The permit regime is inefficient and clumsy system of documents and permits that are difficult to obtain.”

Haaretz: When did you first encounter the military legal system in the territories?

“For the first case I worked on when I was self-employed, I drove to the Ofer military base to find Naim and Ayad Murar, who were among those who organized the popular protest against the separation fence in the village of Burdus," says Berda. Together with attorney Tamar Peleg Sharik, I appealed their administrative detention. The court accepted our position that the arrest had been made for political reasons and released them. I was shocked by what I saw in the military courts. Not only were there different laws for the entire [Palestinian] population, but there was also physical separation in the court between the entrance for Jewish civilians and the entrance for Palestinian residents. There were even separate sitting areas. One of the soldiers said to me, ‘What are you so shocked about? You’re in the territories – there are different laws here.'”

What is the bureaucratic model of the occupation?

“The bureaucratic model that most people are familiar with is what sociologist Max Weber called the legal-rational authority. This is when the bureaucracy is supposed to operate according to clear laws and administrative work is performed systematically in a universal way. In other words, the laws apply to everyone equally with no connection to the identity of the client or the clerk. We talk about corruption and crooked behavior mostly regarding bureaucratic systems. But I say the bureaucracy of the occupation is a different model. It operates like the British bureaucracy that managed populations of subjects in the colonies. The colonial model is based on the principle of racial hierarchy, in which there is one legal and organizational system for the ethnic group in power and another for the group that is under their control.”

Israel claims that it acts this way out of fear of risks to its security. What do you think?

“One of my principal claims is that the way the civilian population in the West Bank is being managed endangers the security of the Jews. This is because the way what constitutes a security risk is decided makes all the Palestinians a security risk. This kind of model prevents two important things from happening: the management of security risks (if everyone is dangerous, then I cannot make decisions about allocating resources), but more important, it leads us into a political catch-22. If everyone is dangerous, no political solution can be found, and if there is no political solution, there are only violent solutions.”

Who is actually responsible for managing the civilian population in the territories?

“That is a really good question. It is supposed to be the Civil Administration and the OC Central Command, who is the military commander of the area. But in practice, this system has many partners: the General Security Service, the Defense Ministry, the Interior Ministry, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, the Employment Service, the Border Police, the Israel Police, the Manufacturers Association of Israel, the Association of Contractors and Builders in Israel, international organizations and corporations. This is a very complex system that contains uncertainty, administrative flexibility and the constant creation of exceptions. I call this difficulty in finding someone who is accountable, ‘the phenomenon of the phantom sovereign.’”

Who gains from such an inefficient bureaucratic system?

“It’s important to understand that the system was not planned this way. There was never any decision by the government or any other administrative agency to establish the permits regime, so it was not done deliberately. As far as gain – the administrative flexibility, waste of resources and the frequent administrative friction that is part of granting work permits leads to two desired results in the governmental system. It makes the Palestinian civilian population dependent on the administrative system, enabling the system to control, monitor and apply pressure and it preserves the principle of keeping the two populations separate.”

U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday congratulated Israel on celebrating its 61st Independence Day, and promised to advance peace talks in the Middle East.

In a statement issued by the White House, Obama vowed to pursue the interests of both Israelis and Palestinians in reaching a comprehensive peace. He also noted that Israel's security concerns would be addressed as part of the process.

The U.S. bond with Israel is "as unshakeable as ever," he said.

"On behalf of the people of the United States, President Obama congratulates the people and government of Israel on the 61st anniversary of Israel's independence," he continued. "The United States was the first country to recognize Israel in 1948, minutes after its declaration of independence, and the deep bonds of friendship between the U.S. and Israel remain as strong and unshakeable as ever."

"The President looks forward to working with Israel to advance our common interests, including the realization of a comprehensive peace in the Middle East, ensuring Israel's security, and strengthening the bilateral relationship, over the months and years to come," the statement continued.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are taking to parks and nature reserves on Wednesday to enjoy the warm weather and take part in the barbecue tradition associated with the national holiday.

Independence Day celebrations kicked off Tuesday night with the lighting of beacons at the official ceremony at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.

Former Tel Aviv mayor Shlomo Lahat, musician Kobi Oz and actress Yevgenia Dodina were among the 12 people singled out to light the beacons at the ceremony.

Israeli leaders praised the accomplishments of their nation while warning of external threats.

In a video message at the official ceremony, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent out his blessing on this day of independence, saying "the sharp transition between the silence of memorial day and the joy of independence day is not simple, but precisely at this clear moment, the full meaning of the existence of the state of Israel becomes apparent, the dream of generations of our people, the safe haven for which we have prayed and hoped, for generations upon generations of Jews."

"I want to congratulate you, Israel's citizens, on this day," Netanyahu continued, "for the victory of our collective dream, a victory of the spirit, a victory of faith, a victory of persistence, hope and work."

"Thanks to all these, we have surmounted enormous obstacles. We rose from the depths of death and ovens; we came together from west and east and embarked on a path to life and resurrection. We revived our ancient language, we took the Hebrew language from the scriptures and brought it into our daily lives, our schools, our universities, our culture and science, and we also never forgot the scriptures," Netanyahu went on to say.

"Unfortunately, Israel remains under threat," the prime minister said. "An Iranian regime that is feverishly pursuing nuclear weapons brazenly calls for our destruction. Terror organizations on our southern and northern borders grow stronger by the day."

Before the prime minister's address, Parliament Speaker Reuven Rivlin spoke at the ceremony, warning against complacency. "There are those who fear we may forget what world we live in, how hostile our environment is," he said.

"Israel of 2009 is no less impressive than Israel of 1949," Rivlin continued, adding that "it is more democratic, more open, and also more Jewish in its identity and culture."

The grouping of mournful Memorial Day with Independence Day celebrations is intentional, to show the link between the costly wars Israel has fought and the establishment and survival of the Jewish state.

The state was founded on May 14, 1948, when the British mandate over Palestine ended, setting off a bloody two-year war. The Arab state envisioned by the United Nations partition plan never materialized, as the West Bank was captured by Jordan.

Tuesday's ceremony also incorporated the theme of Tel Aviv's 100th anniversary.

Singing and acting performances on dozens of outdoor stages throughout the country were set to begin following the ceremony.

On Wednesday, Independence Day, the army will hold air and sea displays and Israel Defense Forces bases will open to the public. The National Bible Quiz and a ceremony for outstanding soldiers will be held in Jerusalem.

In addition, Israel imposed a full closure over the West Bank on Tuesday for Memorial Day and Independence Day until midnight of the following day. During that period, no Palestinians will be allowed into Israel except in cases of humanitarian emergency.

NEW YORK - Leading Democratic and Republican politicians, representing minority groups, will meet tomorrow in Washington to discuss a plan to enlist support for Israel's hardline position toward Hamas from Hispanic and black members of Congress.

Some 50 black, Hispanic, Asian and Jewish lawmakers are expected to participate in the gathering at the annual meeting of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, a New York-based organization that works to improve relations between blacks, Hispanic and Jews and to promote cooperation between Jewish communities and other ethnic groups.

Also due to attend are Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean, and his Republic counterpart, Ken Melman.

Among the organizations that are helping to fund the meeting are the World Jewish Congress, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and LARS, an organization promoting Hispanic human rights.

Rabbi Marc Schneier, founder and president of the foundation, said that this year's meeting has a special significance. "The rise to power of Hamas has created an advocacy problem for Israel, and it is important for members of Congress who are identified with specific ethnic groups to add their voices to the support of Israel."

According to Schneier, "there are reports that Hamas leaders want to visit Venezuela and Bolivia and hope to enlist South American leaders to their cause. This makes it even more important for Israel to win over the leaders of large immigrant groups in the United States."

Conversations with a number of school principals in the center and the north of the country yesterday showed that nearly all of them elegantly evaded the memo from the director-general of the Education Ministry that required them to discuss the heritage of Rehavam "Gandhi" Ze'evi on the anniversary of his murder on Sunday.

A pity, really. Presumably quite a few educators, among them intelligent history teachers, could have opened their students' eyes, or at least could have answered for them a number of burning questions having to do with Ze'evi and his philosophy. A look at youth forums on the Internet proves that the young people who claim to miss Ze'evi saw him as an unblemished leader, and mainly as the definitive heir to the great Zionists, people of the Labor Movement and Ahdut Ha'avoda (another precursor of the Labor Party), David Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Tabenkin (respectively).

In a post-modern world that allows everyone to define himself and his ideology according to his own taste, it is possible to understand the source of these young people's confusion. The concept "Zionism" has also gone awry in recent years, so much so that the Jewish settlers in the territories can define themselves as the last of the pioneers, heirs to the "stockade and tower," ethos, while members of Moledet claim exclusive rights to the love of the country. No wonder the Education Ministry has marketed Ze'evi as the holder of the deed to the values of "knowledge and love of the land and loyalty to it," and the students and their teachers have not rebelled.

But in this matter, in fact, Ze'evi was right: The roots of the perversion that allowed his shocking ideas about "voluntary transfer" to seep into the public consciousness and win legitimacy are indeed planted deeply in the Zionism of the Labor movement. Unlike the right wing that used grand rhetoric but never paved roads or planted trees, the Labor movement acted, and, in the nature of things, made the worst mistakes, including uprooting and exiling Arabs during the War of Independence.

Ze'evi knew very well how to exploit the one-dimensional presentations of this history. In a series of discussions called "Lost Zionism" (itself a Hebrew pun on "Labor Zionism") that he conducted with the editors of the journal Svivot in December 1993, he spread the lying and deceptive net he had woven, to prove that his ideas alone are the natural continuation of the Zionism of the Labor Movement. Even his interviewers, who were knowledgeable about the history of the state and of Zionism, found it difficult to refute the false connections. Indeed, how can a student who was born almost 40 years after the War of Independence, and into a society in which the occupation is the most significant element of its way of life, refute those connections?

Among other things, Ze'evi argued that he had learned the idea of transfer in the Labor-affiliated Mahanot Ha'olim youth movement, and that just as all the Shomer Hatza'ir kibbutzim are on land abandoned by Arabs, there is nothing wrong with transferring millions of Arabs from Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip (including Jordan as far as Iraq, the Golan Heights and the Gilead). "I am not proposing sit around and wait until we reach transfer agreements in the framework of peace agreements," he stated, explaining that meanwhile he recommended "creating conditions of a negative magnet, that will bring the Arab population to prefer to emigrate." He proposed imposing conditions on the Arabs of Israel - if they fulfill obligations they will receive rights. If not - no rights.

It would be a good idea if history teachers read these conversations and quoted them to their students. It would be a good idea if they explained to them the logical and moral flaw whereby Ze'evi polluted the war for existence of a nation of oppressed refugees - which sought a homeland and had to achieve it contrary to all expectations. It would be a good idea for them to show how he cooked up an ugly, violent, immoral, and megalomaniac porridge in which Joshua Bin-Nun, the Amalekites and the Palmach campfire are all mixed up together. Indeed, the Education Ministry afforded perspicacious teachers an opportunity to conduct a critical debate about Zionist ideology. But the smart teachers were apparently afraid to deal with Ze'evi's philosophy.

Committed right-wingers, like Benny Begin and Dan Meridor, have always disassociated themselves from Ze'evi, and it was the veterans of the Palmach and Mapai who wept over the grave of the man they called "a dear comrade and a lover of the land of Israel." Thus the left added another seal of approval to what is now called "Ze'evi's heritage" and with enormous feebleness has missed out on another lesson with the homeroom teacher.

Leona’s Passion for Fashion!

That Leo, he’s hopeless. I set him one simple task to update our blog and he wanders off and does his Suduko instead! Men!

So, it’s up to me to keep you abreast of what’s going on here. We’re starting to welcome more and more guests who are attending weddings. As fashion is my passion, I’ll let you into a few fashion secrets that I’ve noticed. This year, we are seeing more and more blue – a lovely royal blue in fact. Could be that the Royal Wedding is still influencing people! I’ve also heard that this season sees the return of Bermuda shorts! But black and white, peakaboo pieces and bold stripes are also in this Spring (and don’t forget those statement sunglasses!).

Here at Hadley Park House Hotel, its not just on a Saturday that we are seeing weddings. More and more people are opting for midweek ‘do’s’. I can hear them excitedly discussing their arrangements; sometimes it’s second time around, others just want a small informal ‘do’, all in all Hadley Park House Hotel is a perfect Shropshire wedding venue.

Anyway, back to my fashion mags!

Unlike lesser binoculars with fixed focus cameras, these 8X magnification binoculars use special focusing technology that sharpens subjects simultaneously on its integrated 5 megapixel digital camera, ensuring clear images and video. They have fully multi-coated, 30mm objective lenses and use a Bak-4 prism system for superior optical performance, yielding a 320' field of view at 1,000 yards. The eye relief allows them to be used while wearing glasses. Once you've taken a photo, it's easy to review pictures on the 1 1/2" color flip-up LCD. Its replay feature continuously records the last eight to 60 seconds of video, so you can review footage to capture a photograph of quick, precise events. The built-in 16 MB internal memory stores up to 15 pictures at 2560 x 1920 resolution or 20 seconds of continuous video at 640 x 480 resolution at 15 frames per second. An SD card provides for added storage (card not included). Photos and video can be downloaded to your PC via an included USB cable. Requires two AAA batteries. 4 1/4" H x 6" W x 3 1/4" L. (1 1/2 lbs.)

    how is your holster set up?

    i was wondering the best holster position and or proper muzzle cant for my holster in uspsa comp. I ended up dumping the cheapy paddle holster that came with my XDm and purchased a belt holster from blade tech that has adjustable height and muzzle cant. Right now i have it set up so the holster is as low on my hip as possible, a couple inches her forward than my 90 degree hip point

    with a muzzle cant of roughly 60 degrees

    i know some of this is preference and maybe depends on the gun you are using but when you look at people like Todd Jarret, Rob Leatham or Travis Tomassi they all have a regular straight up and down muzzle cant.

    just throw in your 10 cents if you fee like as to what you do ect.

    I own a Four-in-One Holster made by Classic Old West Styles ( they make modern holsters too.

    This way you can try several positions, Straight up and down / FBI forward cant / Cross Draw / or flat accross the small of your back.

    Mine happens to be a thumb snap top, but they have open carry and others listed under "modern holsters".

    I hope this helps.

    Kahr is OK. If you want a polymer gun, consider Glock (G36), XD, etc. I carry my Colt Defender most of the time. .45 is a good choice for self defense.

Information about Hands & Voices

"Who are we? We are parents of ASL signers, cued speech users.... parents of kids with cochlear implants or total communicators... we are people who have common interests connected through the community of deafness. Hands & Voices is a safe place to explore options, get unemotional support (although we can be emotional about it!), learn from one another and share what we have in common. We value diversity and honor the role of parents and family as the single greatest factor in raising a WASK, (our favorite acronym: W ell- A djusted S uccessful K id)

"There is room in the community of deafness for an organization like Hands & Voices, and in fact, I think parents, and even many professionals, have been crying out for a group like this," says Leeanne Seaver, Board member. "Somehow parents connecting to other parents provides an element of credibility; there's a level of 'knowing & feeling' that only a parent experiences. And parents, especially parents of babies newly identified with deafness or hearing loss, need a way to connect like this without being wary of a sponsoring agenda from a service provider."

Hands & Voices is a non-profit, parent-driven organization dedicated to supporting families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We are non-biased about communication methodologies and believe that families can make the best choices for their child if they have access to good information and support. Our membership includes families who communicate manually and/or orally. From American Sign Language to cochlear implants, our organization represents people from all different approaches to, and experiences with, deafness or hearing loss. We have local chapters comprised mainly of parents along with professionals. If you're interested in opening a Hands & Voices group in your area, just contact us via this website for more information.

Most urgent un-addressed animal issue?

Posted by cbg_37 at 07/22/2013

I'm a California resident and an academic with a business background. Much of what I've published is related to the human-animal relation, and since I'm a critical scholar, my work openly advocates for less or non-use of products that exploit and destroy non-human animals. I've resigned my position at the college (effective July 2014), and I'm taking my energy and advocacy for this issue into the not-for-profit sector.

I've done extensive research on the field to see where my energies might be most productive. I'd like to include in that research your thoughts. If you have a moment, please respond to this prompt:

What do you see as the most urgent animal welfare/rights/liberation issue (or issues) that is NOT being addressed (or is under-addressed)?

Really, these don't have to be long responses. I'd just like more input, and I thought the Happy Cow forum would be a great place to ask!

Thank you, in advance, for your thoughtful responses--I look forward to reading them!

my best,

NotLurking at 09/08/2014 02:30:21
After suffering an extremely painful, adverse reaction to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, I learned that these same antibiotics are increasingly being fed to factory farm animals. I know that animals can suffer the same awful side effects from this class of antibiotics. It has been documented in pets. I have yet to hear anyone speak up regarding the misery this practice could be inflicting on livestock.

The side effects of fluoroquinolone toxicity are excruciatingly painful and can last for years after ceasing taking the antibiotic. It's been a year and a half since I had the bad reaction, and I still cannot walk without crutches.

I truly believe that force-feeding fluoroquinolones to livestock could be the worst form of animal cruelty of all time. I cannot imagine a more horrible form of torture.

If you do some research on the subject, you'll learn how agonizing the side effects can be. You could visit the facebook "wall of pain" to see how it has affected humans who only took a few pills then stopped. Now imagine a farm animal suffering a similar reaction then still continuing to be force-fed more every day for months or years afterwards. The agony would be unspeakable.

The most ignored and perhaps the most important animal issue is the human belief that our species is superior to all others, giving us the right to do with them as we please.
savetheanimals at 07/27/2013 10:45:44
I saw on your happycow page that your vegetarian not vegan. I think the best thing you can do for the animals right now is go vegan.
The most unaddressed animal issue is vegan education. In Maryland there is a program called the vegan living program and vegans can be coaches to nonvegans: I was one of the vegan coaches. I think you should set up a similar program. I think everyone should watch Gary Yourofsky's speech:
You should watch the speech and show it at the vegan education group you set up. You should be vegan awhile before you set up the group so you know what your doing. Of course don't just show the video at the vegan education group. Teach people about the vegan lifestyle, all the ethical issues with animal products, the health benefits of being vegan and how to be vegan. If there is a farm animal sanctuary near you take people to meet the animals. Good luck.

A few days ago, someone posted the sad story about the impending death of a tuxedo kitten at a shelter. The cat was due to be put down because no one wanted her. I felt bad for the cat but according to the Humane Society, as many as 8 MILLION cats and dogs are put down on an annual basis in this country simply because no one can find homes for them.

Part of the problem is that in this economy, the shelters are overflowing. Not only do animal control people continue to catch stray animals but an astounding number of pets are being dropped off at shelters by people who can no longer take care of them.

Although this may be a touchy subject, I think animals should be neutered or spayed. Given how many puppies or kittens can be birthed in a single litter, our failure as a society to address this issue has resulted in a booming population ... the end result of which is the death of so many young animals.

I know there are animal rights activists who would disagree with me because of their belief that animals have the right to procreate ... but given how many animals are being put down, I would ask which of the following is the worse alternative?

Should we neuter our animals or should we slaughter them?

Worldly Wags
Worldly Wags at 10/23/2013 03:41:25
I think the most under-addressed issue is the suffering of animals in the dairy and egg industry. So many people are vegetarian for animals, and don't even realize that their other choices cause just as much suffering! I think veganism is also a highly-stigmatized choice, where vegans have been pinned as a little "nuts". This needs to change!

The Vegabonds
The Vegabonds at 10/24/2013 04:52:45
The main threat to animal welfare and to the planet is humans. As such humans should stop reproducing themselves. Unfortunately governments are promoting human reproduction in any possible way (benefits to families, aided fertilization of sterile people, health care for the unfit). The current economic system is sustainable as long as there are people paying for the benefits of others (pension, production surplus, unemployment, health system, etc) and for this reason governments will never take a stance into the only sensible solution to all human and world problems.
ahimsa32fa at 11/08/2013 08:06:36
To "DC"-

There is a third alternative to "neutering" and "slaughter". Humans use it all the time. It's called vasectomy and tubal ligation.

In 1973, I found a vet who would perform a vasectomy for my boy Jacob, and as a result he enjoyed 14 years of sex while producing no puppies.

For the original poster, may I suggest my 1997 book, "The Weaning of America" which can be found at Amazon, but cheaper through my Thinkin' Folks Books website.

Not bad but limited selection

Posted on 06 / 29 / 2013

Ambar looks promising from the outside, but like many other "natural product" shops in Istanbul, the selection is a bit limited when it comes to specifically veg. food.

Having said that, it's better than most, and you can get Tofu and a number of interesting sauces and variations on coffee, olive paste etc. The rest of the store has the usual types of herbs/spices/natural produce and it may be interesting if you're not exactly looking for veg. snacks.

For a better selection, try one of the Macro supermarkets in Nisantasi, or the Ecolife or Balya health stores in Cihangir.

Pros: Good location, Stocks Tofu and some other items
Cons: Limited selection

A great little shop

Posted on 08 / 27 / 2011

Ambar is a large health food store by Turkish standards, and a small one by other standards. They have a lot of your standard grains and pulses, and you can get soy milk and other basics there. They have a very good selection of essential oils there, and every time I have gone, the staff has been friendly and helpful. I wouldn't count on finding the things you usually get back home, but it is worth stopping in.
Also, just up the street is a restaurant called Ficcin, which has some veg options and is very good and moderately priced :)

Pros: Great selection of essential oils, Very helpful staff
Cons: Small

My System Specs

Does anyone know for certain what frequencies and network protocols the Telus Galaxy S (SGH-T959D) uses?

Might be able to pick one up with a wonky USB port (won't charge off the wall, won't connect with a computer, but will only charge when connected to a computer) for free. Figure $35 to replace the port makes for a good bargain. However, I'd want to use it on the Rogers/Fido network. Far as I can tell the SGH-T959 uses 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz HSPA and has quad-band GSM compatibility, but I'm not completely certain about the frequencies or whether it's HSPA, UMTS, or HSPA+. Remarkably, such information is not included in the manuals from Telus or Samsung. Rogers doesn't provide any sort of compatibility check tool that I can find, and Fido's is wholly outdated for Samsung phones.

And while I'm here -- how difficult is it it to replace the USB port on one of these?

Corsair HS1 or HS1A: Which to get?
Ok, so I am looking at getting some new headphones and right now (until tomorrow night) the Corsair HS1 (USB) and HS1A (analog) are on sale for $49.99 and $44.99 respectively.

I am just trying to decide which one to get. As for the price from what I see the USB is the better deal but is that the one I want. I will be using this headset just on my desktop and it will not get use anywhere else, at least not enough to warrant mention. As for what I will be listening to, I would say about 65% games, 20% music, and 15% movies, give or take a bit.

Now the chipset in my machine is the Realtek ALC889. So that is what the HS1As will be plugged into and of course the HS1 will use its own built in audio chipset.

Which do people think I should go with? I think I'm leaning a little towards the HS1 (usb) but not totally convinced. Thoughts?

Jackquelegs September 21, 2011 10:32 PM

Buy the HS1. Saves the analogue ports for something more worthy. No matter how you look at it, the HS1/HS1A's choice of driver tuning led it to sound like crap and hollow, and it's just not worth taking up my analogue ports :haha:

It's decent for games in terms of separation and positioning, but falls down on its face for music and movies. At least with the USB version you'll get some opportunity to play with the software (which is decent and makes up for..some of the inadequacies).

ipaine September 21, 2011 11:00 PM

Hmmm, I know I read that it was not the greatest for music, but I thought it was really good with movies and true 5.1 audio. At least a few reviews said as much. Thing is my current headphones aren't bad, and are decent for music, but they get uncomfortable after not too long. And with the Corsairs on for so cheap I figured that I might as well get one of them.

I guess for me the real question would be is the chipset in the USB version better then the chipset in my board?

Dzzope September 22, 2011 12:46 AM

The sound is fine in the HS1's.. are they top quality.. no.. but then the realtec soundcard isn't either..

IMO the biggest bonus with the HS1's as USB is that you can set various programs to use different outputs and have speakers for music / movies and then headset for games and comms.

if you leave everything as default, when you plug in the usb sound everything (well most) will auto - switch to using that without having to screw around with anything else.

Whereas with the normal analogue ones it's them or speakers.

Comfort, they take a lil getting used to (they are heavy) but they are VERY comfy.
Can easily wear them for 6 hrs at work (with lil breaks) then take them home and use them to call home and game for a few more hours.
Have worn them for 6 - 8 hrs straight and they are about as good as I've ever had. still not perfect, but very good.

Mic quality is not what i would expect and there is no noise-cancellation. that is not to say that it's bad.. just not excellent.

Eluder September 22, 2011 07:34 AM

I have the HS1's and they sound pretty good for games, but for music you really have to tweak the EQ.
Plus to be honest, I don't find them that comfortable, I constantly have to adjust them to find a comfortable position on my head.
And the build quality leaves a bit to be desired. I went on vacation for 3 weeks and when I came back and used them, they now creak, though they were just sitting on my desk for those 3 weeks, so ya, not the Corsair quality I was expecting.

ipaine September 22, 2011 07:34 PM

Well picked up the HS1's and so far I am quite pleased. I haven't gamed much with them but they did make Crysis sound better.

Luay79 September 23, 2011 11:00 PM

Good call! The HS1A were designed as pass-through for PCs that already have a dedicated sound card.

Apathetik September 27, 2011 03:52 PM

Just got the Corsair HS1 this morning and have to say I am pleased in ever single area. Comfort on them is by far amazing. Feels like there is marshmallows on my ears. No side pressure squeezing my head, like the Logitech G930's did. Very soft on the ears and haven't really noticed them on my head at all to be honest after about 5 hours of use. They may however be slightly heavier then your previous headphones, but they are very comfortable nonetheless.

Sound quality is very good. Checked out some FLAC format music for an hour or so, and have nothing bad to say about these. The bass was lower then my G930 by a bit, but after installing the control panel, I manually adjusted the lows in the equalizer and now its set perfect and fairly bassy. I also checked out a war scene in "The Pacific" in 1080p quality with the 7.1 virtual speaker shifter option on and was amazed at how accurate the sounds were for virtual 7.1 sound. Using the headphones in a ventrilo with the highest quality codec, I can hear my friends crystal clear, as well as them hearing me perfectly and clear without any background noise or static. I noticed in reviews a lot of people said the mic was average or good, but not great. After talking to several people, they say its better then all my previous ones and sounds amazing, so I assume the people commenting on the quality of the mic are in some low quality codec team speak or mumble server that sounds awful to begin with.

Other things I liked about them was the quality of the cord. The cord is very robust and nylon braided or cased, like the G500 Logitech mouse if anyone has that or can relate. The sound controls on it to raise or lower volume are a nice touch and don't feel cheap. The overall cable length is very long too so plenty of room to move around or adjust your distances. When muted the volume control turns from a blue light to red to show you that you are muted. Finally overall the build comfort and quality are very strong and not junky feeling.

For the price of these on most sites at $50 for half off, you really cannot go wrong with them, as I would be willing to pay full price after using them. I could not be happier. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Anyone notice that the mic is REALLY quiet on the HS1A? And when u add boost, there is tooo much static. (intigrated sound)
Would using a sound card better the mic pickup?
