            <description>&lt;!--c1--&gt;&lt;div class='codetop'&gt;CODE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='codemain'&gt;&lt;!--ec1--&gt;US court documents claim that Kazakh national Daniyar Nazarbayev, who is engaged to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak&amp;#39;s daugther, is a veteran swindler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Court documents filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court claim that he conned his stepfather out of a US&amp;#036;20 million &amp;#40;RM62 million&amp;#41; condominium unit and gained entry to Columbia University using forged documents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the New York Post today, court documents said Daniyar had forged documents to create the impression that he had graduated from a high school in Kazakhstan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the newspaper&amp;#39;s sources said, he went to a high school in Switzerland and did not complete his studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Columbia&amp;#39;s records show that Daniyar is still on the alumni list and graduated in 2010. The New York Post reports that a Columbia spokersperson was contacted, but refused comment&lt;!--c2--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--ec2--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; source :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://malaysiakini.com/news/200637' target='_blank'&gt;http://malaysiakini.com/news/200637&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NYPOST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--c1--&gt;&lt;div class='codetop'&gt;CODE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='codemain'&gt;&lt;!--ec1--&gt;The grifter who swindled his gloriously connected Kazakh stepfather out of a &amp;#036;20 million Plaza condo also conned his way into Columbia University, court papers charge.&lt;br /&gt;Daniyar Nazarbayev — whose stepdad is the brother of Kazak President Nursultan Nazarbayev — landed at the college using “fraudulent and fabricated” paperwork from a high school he didn’t actually attend, the court papers say.&lt;br /&gt;When applying, Daniyar allegedly claimed he had graduated from a high school in Kazakhstan.&lt;br /&gt;He actually went to high school in Switzerland — and never graduated, sources said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Daniyar’s influential last name isn’t real, the court papers say.&lt;br /&gt;His actual surname is Kesikbayev. His mother, Maira, allegedly had his birth certificate changed after she married Bolat Nazarbayev in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;The marriage was annulled last year.&lt;br /&gt;Daniyar, now 24, graduated from Columbia in 2010. A knowledgeable source said that the allegations were reported to Columbia but that it was unclear whether school officials had taken action.&lt;br /&gt;Daniyar’s name is still in the school’s alumni directory.&lt;br /&gt;A Columbia spokesman refused to comment.&lt;br /&gt;The allegations are part of Bolat’s suit against Maira and her son in Manhattan Supreme Court, where he has accused them of taking advantage of his trust to swipe the Plaza pad and help themselves to two other multimillion-dollar apartments on Wall Street.&lt;br /&gt;Bolat says he has discovered that Maira has had several aliases — and that she’s wanted by Interpol and Kazakh authorities for crimes including kidnapping and extortion.&lt;br /&gt;But Maira, 50, now lives in her son’s condo at The Plaza, a four-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot apartment with 3 1/2 bathrooms. It has been listed as a &amp;#036;68,000-a-month rental.&lt;br /&gt;She was unable to be reached for comment. There was no phone number for the apartment, and The Post was not allowed by Plaza security to knock on her door last week.&lt;br /&gt;Daniyar, meanwhile, is missing.&lt;br /&gt;In court filings, Bolat’s lawyers said they have searched for him in five countries — including Malaysia, where he’s reportedly engaged to the prime minister’s daughter, Nooryana Najwa, whom a source said he met at Columbia.&lt;br /&gt;Bolat had been looking to buy a New York apartment in 2008, and Maira and Daniyar got him to give them power of attorney so they could close the deal without him present.&lt;br /&gt;The suit says Daniyar was supposed to put the apartment in his stepdad’s name but added his mom’s. About eight months later, she sold it to Daniyar for &amp;#036;1, court papers say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--c2--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--ec2--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href='http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/kazakh_columbia_con_job_Rzm2pW72MO90nyHRMCyctL' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhatt...2MO90nyHRMCyctL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daily mail uk &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--c1--&gt;&lt;div class='codetop'&gt;CODE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='codemain'&gt;&lt;!--ec1--&gt;The former nephew of the president of Kazakhstan had &amp;#39;great success&amp;#39; after he falsely claimed a placed at Columbia University and allegedly scammed his stepfather, the president&amp;#39;s brother, out of a &amp;#39;very nice&amp;#39; &amp;#036;20 million New York City apartment, according to a lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;Daniyar Nazarbayev&amp;#39;s American adventure is a tale that puts to shame even the mighty Borat, the fictional Kazakh TV producer who lampooned the former Soviet republic on screen in 2006. &lt;br /&gt;Mr Nazarbaye, 24, who fled from the US, is now reportedly engaged to marry the daughter of the prime minister of Malaysia, whom he met at the Ivy League university.&lt;br /&gt;Bolat Nazarbayev, the brother of longtime president Nursultan Nazarbayev, is suing Daniyar Nazarbayev and his mother Maira Kesikbayev in a Manhattan court, claiming they are both international serial swindlers who stole a &amp;#036;20 million condo at the Plaza Hotel from him, the New York Post reports. &lt;br /&gt;They also used a pair of luxury Wall Street apartment on his dime, Bolat Nazarbayev claims.&lt;br /&gt;Bolat and Maira were married in 2001, but their union was annulled last after he learned his wife was wanted by both Kazakh police and Interpol for a variety of crimes, including kidnapping and extortion, the Post says. &lt;br /&gt;Maira goes by several aliases, the lawsuit claims.&lt;br /&gt;Maira had her son&amp;#39;s last name changed from Kesikbayev to Nazarbayev on his birth certificate after the wedding -- an effort to cement Daniyar&amp;#39;s status as part of the first family of Kazakhstan, according to the newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;Daniyar used his new last name and forged documents saying he graduated from a high school in Kazakhstan to get into Columbia, the lawsuit claims.&lt;br /&gt;Bolat alleges his former stepson actually went to a high school in Switzerland, but never graduated. &lt;br /&gt;Daniyar earned a degree from Columbia in 2010. School officials were made aware of the allegations against him, but have not taken action, the Post reports. &lt;br /&gt;While at Columbia, he used his good looks to woo Nooryana Najwa, the daughter of Malaysia&amp;#39;s prime minister. &lt;br /&gt;Bolat claims tasked Daniyar with finding a luxury apartment in New York for him and gave his stepson power of attorney in 2008 so he could sign the title for Bolat. &lt;br /&gt;Instead of signing Bolat&amp;#39;s name, Daniyar signed his mother&amp;#39;s. Eight months later, she sold the ritzy condo to her son for &amp;#036;1, the lawsuit says.&lt;!--c2--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--ec2--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2157941/Nephew-Kazakh-president-lied-academic-record-Columbia-University.html?ito=feeds-newsxml' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-21...o=feeds-newsxml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;picture &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2012/06/11/news/web_photos/daniyar_nazarbayev--300x300.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/12/article-2157941-13909E96000005DC-50_634x451.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/12/article-2157941-1390E6ED000005DC-172_634x419.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/12/article-2157941-1390E6E9000005DC-471_634x405.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;source: daily mail , nypost</description>

            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;The big spending habits of another member of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s family caught the attention of the Australian media again today – this time in Sydney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the ‘Private Sydney’ section of the Australian daily Sydney Morning Herald, columnist Andrew Horney called Rosmah the “first lady of shopping”, allegedly for spending A&amp;#036;100,000 (RM325,000) at a Sydney boutique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quoting Sydney designer Carl Kapp, the columnist reported that Kapp’s “biggest customer” had spent the astounding amount during a “private holiday” there “a little more than a fortnight ago”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the column, Rosmah and Najib had during the holiday stayed at the A&amp;#036;20,000 (RM65,100) a night penthouse (right) at the newly-minted five-star Darling Hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Headlined ‘Super Kerr Now a Model Citizen’, the column also reported that Rosmah had requested “valet parking for her limo” and was flying Kapp out to Malaysia for fittings of the clothes she ordered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“(Kapp said) he was being flown to Malaysia next month with a collection of ‘toiles’ for (Rosmah) Mansor to try on before completing her massive order of 61 dresses, pants and tops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“All made from the finest silk and in a variety of exotic colours and prints, Kapp said his new muse had ‘a very good eye for colour and she likes a lot of prints’,” the prominent daily’s lifestyle column reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PM’s wife ‘absolutely gracious’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosmah had recently been under fire for allegedly purchasing a diamond ring worth RM24 million, which she has vehemently denied, and for owning several Hermes handbags worth thousands of ringgit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In recent months, (Rosmah) Mansor… has been forced to deny reports she had bought a US&amp;#036;24 million diamond and a US&amp;#036;200,000 (RM621,000)-plus crocodile skin, bejewelled Hermes handbag,” said Horney in his SMH column.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kapp, who has a keen eye for such bags, having worked for Hermes, said he did not see any such handbag when he met her.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The designer also added that Rosmah is nothing like her critics accuse her of being but was “absolutely gracious and easy to deal with”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It noted that the alleged shopping spree of the PM’s wife was first reported on fashion blog Flockwriter, in a Jan 17 posting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kapp was quoted as saying that he had also met Najib, who was “relaxing, snuggling up and looking very happy together” with his wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There, surrounded by samples, fabric swatches, sketches and Rosmah’s many attendants, who appeared to be gearing up for a New Year’s Eve party, Kapp was introduced to a casually-attired Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak,” it read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malaysiakini has contacted the PM’s office for a response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last October, Najib’s daughter, who was not named, was reported by the Western Australian of having spent lavishly at David Jones in Perth during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The daily later issued a correction to the report, which cited anonymous sources, after Najib said that his daughter was not in Perth at the time.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2012/01/21/rosmahs-shopping-spree-hits-aussie-paper/' target='_blank'&gt;http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2012/01/21/ros...s-aussie-paper/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>1st person to buy iphone 4s in maxis launch</title>

            <description>&lt;!--c1--&gt;&lt;div class='codetop'&gt;CODE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='codemain'&gt;&lt;!--ec1--&gt;KUALA LUMPUR&amp;#58; The stroke of midnight was a moment of pure joy for Leonard Chan when he became the first person to buy the latest iPhone 4S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 16-year-old from Cheras came alone to the KLCC Convention Centre for the launch of the iPhone 4S in Malaysia, organised by Maxis Bhd yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had queued in line for 12 hours and it was his first iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he was no stranger to Apple gadgets. His passion for the brand started when his father gave him an iPod shuffle two years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I decided to finally get the iPhone 4S as the voice recognition feature is hard to resist,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maxis employees provided excited buyers with popcorn and drinks to help ease the waiting blues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it was near midnight, everyone cheered and started the countdown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first top 40 in the queue of thousands of buyers were ushered to the big hall and greeted by Maxis Bhd VIPs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For product specialist F.C. Loh, 24, there was a touch of poignancy to buying the iPhone 4S because it was the last gadget from Steve Jobs before he passed away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flight attendant Dhanyal Denis, 24, came with his girlfriend and a friend. They had waited since 9pm. He owned other Apple products and finally decided to buy the iPhone 4S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a press conference a few hours before the launch, Maxis Berhad executive director and chief executive officer Sandip Das said the company was delighted to bring the latest model of iPhone to customers, having brought the first iPhone to the country in 2009. &lt;!--c2--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--ec2--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://thestar.com.my/archives/2011/12/16/nation/n_34leonard.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/12/16/nation/10110004&amp;sec=nation' target='_blank'&gt;http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...0004&amp;sec=nation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;interview &lt;br /&gt;[YOUTUBE]dfpvS1ormcE[/YOUTUBE]</description>

            <title>say bye bye to cd</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2086217</link>
            <description>You read it well. The major labels plan to abandon the CD-format by the end of 2012 (or even earlier) and replace it with download/stream only releases via iTunes and related music services. The only CD-formats that will be left over will be the limited edition ones, which will of course not be available for every artist. The distribution model for these remaining CD releases would be primarily Amazon which is already the biggest CD retailer worldwide anyhow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 weeks ago we heard it for the first time and since then we have tried getting some feedback from EMI, Universal and Sony. All declined to comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news doesn&amp;#39;t come as a surprise to those who have been working in the business. In a piece that was published in a q&amp;amp;a with the Alfa Matrix people back in June 2011 in the 1st issue of &amp;quot;Matrix Revelations&amp;quot;, our chief editor Bernard Van Isacker said the following when asked if a CD would still exist in 5 years: &amp;quot;Yes, but in a different format. Normal CDs will no longer be available because they don&amp;#39;t offer enough value, limited editions on the other hand will remain available and in demand for quite a few more years. I for one buy only limited editions because of the added value they offer: a nice design, extra bonus gadgets, etc. The album as we know it now however will be dead within 5 years, if it isn&amp;#39;t even sooner. I predict that downloads will have replaced the CD album within the next 2 years. I don&amp;#39;t see that as something negative, it just has run its course, let&amp;#39;s leave the space to limited editions (including vinyl runs for bigger acts) and downloads instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s a move that makes completely sense. CD&amp;#39;s cost money, even when they don&amp;#39;t sell because there is stock storage to be paid; a label also pays money to distributors when CDs get returned to the labels when not sold and so on. In short, abandoning the CD-format will make it possible to just focus on the release and the marketing of it and no longer focus on the distribution (since aggregators will do the work as far as dispatching the releases to services worldwide) and - expensive - stock maintenance. In the long run it will most surely mean the end for many music shops worldwide that only stock and sell CD releases. In the UK for instance HMV has problems paying the labels already and more will follow. It makes the distribution of CDs no longer worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also Amazon will benefit from this as it will surely become the one and only player when it comes to distribution of the remaining CD productions from labels. Packaged next to regular album downloads via its own Amazon MP3 service it will offer a complimentary service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next monument to fall? That will be printed magazines as people will want to consume their information online where they also read most of the news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are your feelings? is it a move that you like or not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sauce &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=46980_0_2_0_C' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=46980_0_2_0_C&lt;/a&gt;</description>

At the moment, the YouTube page reads, &amp;quot;This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The action comes about as the 13-year-old and Ark Music Factory fuss over who owns the rights to the annoyingly popular song. Ark Music is considered a &amp;quot;vanity&amp;quot; production company that aspiring artists - or in Black&amp;#39;s case, parents of an aspiring artist - pay thousands of dollars for videos to be written, filmed and promoted. The company&amp;#39;s tagline: &amp;quot;Get Discovered&amp;#33;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;In March, Black&amp;#39;s lawyers sent a letter to Ark Music, accusing the company of copyright infringement and unlawful exploitation of her publicity rights,&amp;quot; said The Hollywood Reporter. Black claims she never got the master recordings she was entitled to by contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This probably wouldn&amp;#39;t be an issue if &amp;quot;Friday&amp;quot; never went viral. (Cha-ching&amp;#33;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this week, the song could have been rented for &amp;#036;2.99 on Ark Music&amp;#39;s site. Black tweeted that she wasn&amp;#39;t behind the decision to charge listeners. &amp;quot;Thanks for all the messages regarding the &amp;#036;2.99 fee added to Friday video, I have NOTHING to do with this&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;quot; she said on June 14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until all of this is resolved, what&amp;#39;s a Rebecca Black fan to do?&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more: &lt;a href='http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-20072014-501465.html#ixzz1PYMksJ1N' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-200...l#ixzz1PYMksJ1N&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Audiohphile quality album database</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1532000</link>
            <description>I think it would be nice if lyn audiophile forum has a complete list of quality recorded album. I hope everyone could contribute . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;guidelines: &lt;br /&gt;1. PLEASE avoid discussion of recording methodology ( analog , digital , etc. do it in vir&amp;#39;s thread instead. ) &lt;br /&gt;2. Not trying to be sarcastic here . Please avoid recommend album with poor or average recordings . TRY TO RECOMMEND ONLY AUDIOPHILE QUALITY album&lt;br /&gt;3. I am hoping that this thread could look like this &amp;gt; &lt;a href='http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1285987' target='_blank'&gt;http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1285987&lt;/a&gt; . Lets try to maintain 90 percent of the posts in this thread &amp;quot;recommendation&amp;quot; related .&lt;br /&gt;4. Please keep discussion minimal . This thread should look like a database . &lt;br /&gt;5. DONT POST OR DISCUSS WAREZ / p2p / etc  ( eg. rabbitshare links , huh.cd , atypeoffood.fm , etc. related discussion are strictly prohibited. ) &lt;br /&gt;p.s: IF you can&amp;#39;t resist the temptation use the pm feature &lt;br /&gt;6. Kindly follow the format below . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. 1&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;img&amp;gt;Screenshot of the album&amp;lt;/img&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: Album name &amp;lt; artist name &amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Year:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Genre: ( can be more than 1 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recording Studio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Purchasing link/location: (amazon.com?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download link : &lt;b&gt;( ONLY APPLIES to non copyrighted audio ) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: this is just a guideline, not mandatory to foolow &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Singles are also welcome . It is not compulsory to recommend album only&lt;br /&gt;8. To pros: Please recommend 1 or more daily ? &lt;br /&gt;9. This thread serves as a database and mayb guide people to obtain it legally. You should find your own way if you want to do it illegally. I think most in  here know how to do it .  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term &amp;quot;audiophile&amp;quot; in this guideline defines properly recorded album/singles/songs. I understand there is no proper guideline to define audiophile quality album but lets try to maintain the quality of this thread . If you are unsure with the recording quality of the album , just post it i am sure people would comment on it , if its not good it can be taken down anytime .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shall start with the 1st album . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. 1&lt;br /&gt;The Ultimate Demonstration Disc - Chesky Records&amp;#39; Guide to Critical Listening&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/formywhat/619F6CXN2BL_SL500_AA240_.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;released: 1995&lt;br /&gt;label: Chesky Records&lt;br /&gt;catalog no.: UD95&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written &amp;amp; produced by: Steve Guttenburg&lt;br /&gt;Executive producers: David Chesky &amp;amp; Norman Chesky&lt;br /&gt;Recorded by: Bob Kath (except track 21 by Jeremy R. Kipnis)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When looking for music to assess hi-fi equipment, everyone of us has his or her own preferences. But it is also nice to have a standard, a common denominator which can&lt;br /&gt;be referred to when conversing with others. Cheskys Ultimate Demonstration Disk has become such a standard. I have seen it referred to on a number of forums, including&lt;br /&gt;Head-Fi, AudioReview.com, and Audio Asylum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listening to the music compiled here following Steve Guttenbergs hints to what to pay attention will add new dimensions to your listening ability and conscience, the more&lt;br /&gt;you listen to these tracks on different equipment paying attention to the same aspects of the recording. Try it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, some of the music is definitely inspiring, too. For my part, I cannot get enough of Rebeca Pidgeons Spanish Harlem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Steve Guttenberg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- Understanding Audiophile Terminology ---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading about transparency or focus will only take you so far, The Ultimate Demonstration Disc acts as a virtual aural dictionary by cueing the listener to the specific&lt;br /&gt;sonic qualities of each selection. By consistently using The Ultimate Demonstration Disc, hearing and understanding these terms will become so much easier. With your&lt;br /&gt;newly trained ears, auditioning components will take a more confident and logical route.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- The Ultimate Demonstration Disc as a Diagnostic Tool ---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A brief explanation of each audiophile term is followed by music to help illustrate that term. For example, youre curious about the depth reproduction of a certain&lt;br /&gt;loudspeaker: just select the depth track (Sara K.). The announcer will describe the relative depth (distance from the microphone) of the various instruments on this track.&lt;br /&gt;Now, armed with this knowledge, your task is simplified. The speaker (or whatever component youre auditioning) that best reproduces that _true_ sense of depth is the best.&lt;br /&gt;Next, choose the tests that are most important to you, and resume your evaluations. The Ultimate Demonstration Disc can be used to judge loudspeakers, receivers,&lt;br /&gt;preamps, power amps, CD players, digital-to-analog converters, even cables&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- Surround Sound ---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the increased popularity of Home Theater, interest in surround sound has sky rocketed. Our use of minimalist miking techniques (Blumlein) results in out of phase&lt;br /&gt;information that will decode through surround-sound processors as ambience. You will be pleasantly surprised, this ambience will add a degree of spaciousness not possible&lt;br /&gt;through conventional two-speaker stereo. Give it a try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Album Credits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sara K. - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Westminister Choir - Choir, Chorus&lt;br /&gt;Fred Hersch Trio - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Ross Hudson - Artwork&lt;br /&gt;Alan Nahigian - Artwork&lt;br /&gt;Roy Spangenthal - Project Director&lt;br /&gt;Steve Guttenberg - Producer, Liner Notes&lt;br /&gt;Ransom Wilson - Conductor, Performer&lt;br /&gt;Connecticut Early Music Festival Ensemble - Ensemble, Performer&lt;br /&gt;Shari Rothstein - Production Coordination&lt;br /&gt;Livingston Taylor - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Westminster Abbey Choir - Performer&lt;br /&gt;McCoy Tyner - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Rebecca Pidgeon - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Norman Chesky - Executive Producer&lt;br /&gt;Peter Cho - Assistant Engineer&lt;br /&gt;Johnny Frigo - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Bob Katz - Engineer&lt;br /&gt;Jeremy Kipnis - Engineer&lt;br /&gt;Miguel Kertsman - Editing, Mastering&lt;br /&gt;Leny Andrade - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Monty Alexander - Performer&lt;br /&gt;Ana Caram - Performer&lt;br /&gt;David Chesky - Executive Producer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

That, however, was cover to have the guy spend five minutes alone in a room with a pretty woman, who presumably was also there to do sudokus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The subjects&amp;#39; levels of cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress, was tested before and after the interaction. The researchers conclude that, when in the presence of a desirable female, the average male&amp;#39;s production of cortisol shoots up by roughly the same amount as it would if he were in the process of jumping from an airplane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Short, extreme bursts of cortisol can be bad for the heart.

The regulation invokes a 1975 anti-terrorism law, which prohibits people from wearing anything that obscures their faces and impedes identification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mayor of the town, Massimo Giordano, a member of the Northern League, said he had hoped that the new ordinance would have deterred Muslim women from wearing burkas and niqabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;But unfortunately it is apparently not yet clear to everyone that clothes preventing the wearer&amp;#39;s identification can be tolerated at home but not in public places, in schools, on buses or in post offices,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said the new rule was introduced because it is &amp;quot;the only tool at our disposal to stop behaviour that makes the already difficult process of integration even harder&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week Belgium&amp;#39;s lower house of parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of a bill banning clothes or veils that do not allow the wearer to be fully identified, including the niqab and burka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ban, which will not enter force for weeks, now has to be approved by the Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy&amp;#39;s government is drafting a bill that would make it illegal to wear the burka. &lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sos &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/7676367/Muslim-woman-fined-430-for-wearing-burka-in-Italy.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/...a-in-Italy.html&lt;/a&gt;</description>
