SHURE Wireless UHF Microphone System (Help in making right choice) 2 mics.?
I’m planning to buy a SHURE Wireless UHF Microphone System complete with 1 receiver and 2 microphones for training purposes. I need some help from experienced SHURE owners/experts in choosing the right stuff/model from SHURE. I am not familiar with their products and I find it hard to pick the right one from their site (too much reading and understanding required :D ). Thanks in advance…


Hey I have owned the shure sm58 wireless mics and they to provide the user with excellent clarity from low frequency right up to the highest pitched notes and feedback is not a very big issues with these mics when they are placed properly. The top of the range shure mics are the BETA 58 these have a better pick up (mics can be placed further away from the user) and are exceptional well controlled with feedback these mics are the best of the best. So when going for the wireless mics make sure they are either SM58s or the BETA 58s they cost a bit more but are worth it.

Is it true the U.S. Military is in Iraq/Afganistan occupying, oppressing freedom, killing, raping, pillaging?
The U.S. military is fighting to oppress, occupy, murder, torture, rape, and kill many innocents in Iraq who’ve done nothing wrong.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAzIgzuap Mw
Have you even heard of what goes on at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and how psycho marines and soldiers are raping and killing innocent Iraqi civilians on a regular basis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz7UNxnOI 3M
Or what about the fact that we’ve dropped tens of thousands of explosives into that country, including daisy-cutter bombs with a 600 yard blast radius. If that’s not WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION, then I don’t know what is. Bottom line is, our troops represent the EVIL SIDE in this war, and that is something no one in their right mind can dispute.

Again, our troops are there occupying a country and oppressing freedom, killing, raping, torturing, pillaging, and no doubt stealing resources (namely oil) from those poor Iraqis who never did anything wrong to begin with. They Killed 1.4 Million of them too.They are weak to pick and kill on the weak and bow to the strong.

They bow to bush and kill the weak

They killed 1.4 Million In iraq who can not even defend themselves, women, women, children. They killed 500k in Afghanistan.

Do you know it takes FAR MORE COURAGE to stand up to a war-mongering politically fascist tyrannical Nazi regime such as the Bush administration (who have all the political power), then it does to slaughter a bunch of innocent people (1.4 Million) who don’t even have the means to adequately defend themselves. And that is all that our military is doing over there. They murder, rape, pillage, and TERRORIZE the good citizens of that land who are severely outmatched as far as weapons, munitions, vehicles, and materials go to fight this extremely unbalanced war. They go house to house, and scare the crap out of innocent families, Thinking they are looking for terrorists.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwwMF6biC JU

If that wasn’t enough, those poor guys are the ones who are often labeled as terrorists by our media, when they are in fact the freedom-fighters attempting to liberate their land from our unjust occupation, facilitated by Bush and his demonic horde (aka our military).

It is FAR MORE EASY AND COWARDLY to simply bow down to this Devil of a President and his minions who holds tremendous political power over them, and slaughter a whole race of innocent people that are technologically and realistically lacking.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR4-LIEYg wc
It is FAR MORE DIFFICULT AND BRAVE to stand up to this corrupt and evil Presidential Administration (that’s right, it’s not just that MORON Bush, but Cheney and the rest of the Executive Branch too)


Grow up. There are examples of "Individuals" doing stupid crap all the time, everywhere!

Soldiers are just imperfect people, and occasionally one of them will do something stupid!

Just because there’s a couple isolated incidents, don’t act like were just over there running a muck! Read your local news, the same crap is probably happening 20 miles from your home! Worry about that!!

If our military wasn’t involved and our Intelligence community wasn’t so involved sh!t would be getting blown up in the U.S. EVERY DAY!!!
You defend these people but all they want is for YOU to CONVERT or DIE!! I’m not converting…

No it’s not, I think you’re describing the relationship between the US Government and the people.

Hey lay off the drugs already. Bush and Cheney have been gone for about a year.

You’ve got a long way to go there, partner. I hope you work your way out of your mess.
Bob | Oct 18, 2009


Just a suggestion,but maybe if you got your news from somewhere besides utube you would know what was really going on in the world…uumm..ya.
artgal | Oct 18, 2009


Sir, please don’t rely on YouTube for your news source. There is a lot of propaganda floating around out there on the internet.
You are sadly misinformed. I just hope that people like you don’t get into the White House. You would be a serious threat to our national security.
You are insulting.
Our military protects and serves. They are in Afghanistan to restore peace and order and to free people who are enslaved by the Taliban. The muslim religious fanatics are the ones who scare the crap out of their own people, abuse, rape and murder innocent women.
It is the religious fanatics who hate what America stands for, FREEDOM. Isn’t that why they rammed 2 jets into the trade tower centers on 9/11 and murdered over 3000 people.
You want to blame Bush for all our problems? You want to call Bush the Devil and MORON?
It sounds like you have been seriously swayed by the far left who will say and do anything to slander our former President who kept this country safe for 8 years.
ann | Oct 18, 2009


Probably,.however you have to be pretty stupid to sign up in such a thing to begin with. No doubt that a few would do stupid things. Look what horror this country did to the Indians, The trail of tears, black men taken from their homes and sent here on slave ships, accused witches burned at the stake, Vietnam war crimes, dogs thrown into fighting rings by animals pretending to be football players.

However, they are there because they were ordered to be there. They have no choice. It is like a city of people, some are going to blow it and make the rest look bad as they are truly evil. It is the military corporate pigs and Neocon Nazis that trade evil for money and get us involved in these ridiculos wars to begin with. The political leaders who are paid to carry out the horrors of war are the instruments to get it done.

ive got old camcorder tapes,does anybody know how to put them on to a disc?
so i can watch them on my dvd player,or is there somewere i can send them to be put on discs,i live in uk ,,,any ideas cheers emma xxxxx


You do not say if you still have the camcorder! Depending on, If the camcorder is digitla or not, you say its old then I will assume its not digital, you can get a device that you plug int your computer and camcorder, its called a analoge to digital video converter, radio Shack have them for around $50 ish. that would be the cheapest way to do it if you have more than say five or six tapes to do,
Something like this

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index. jsp?productId=3572924

Pinnacle also make them a little more expensive.

If you do not have that many then maybe your best way would be to get someone to do it for you,

there are many companies that do it they can put them on dvd for you, or they can put the video onto an external drive, which will allow you to edit them yourself.

to find the closest one to you do a search for "video conversion services" then add your town/city,

OOps just noticed you are from the UK the same thing applies, but you could also try PCworld, Tandys,

Installed Video Card?
I installed an older ATI 9800xt. Everything went without a hitch, and the card was instantly recognized by XP. And I stared playing COD 2 to test it out and it was fine (for the expectations of the card) But I now I hear you have to disable the on board video first.
Do I still have to do that? or has it already been diabled..

Is there any other "rule of thumb" when connecting a video card that I should know.


The inboard video card should automatically disable itself, like mine did.

Around the world in 80 days - Is it possible SKIP a day?
I just reread "Around the World in 80 days", and i had a funny thought.

Using present day technologies, say, riding on a Boeing 747.
If we travel from East to West. Circling the globe back to the point of origin.
Can we skip a day?

Let’s say we start at 2010-Jan-1 sunset in Hawaii, and travel westward circling the globe.
And we return the Hawaii on 2010-Jan-3 sunrise. Thus skipping a day, not seeing the sunrise and sunset of 2010-Jan-2.

Just a strange thought, wonder if its possible? :P


no it is not possible. the boeing does not travel fast enough. its max speed is about 750 miles per hour. you would see the sunrise of jan 2 somewhere over asia and the sunset over the atlantic. however if you left at sunrise on the jan 1 you would miss sunrise of the 2nd by crossing the international dateline mid pacific but you would still see sunset of the 2nd.

Should I be a Vampire or El Zorro for Halloween?
I already have the things for both of them. Don’t need to buy anything other than a 2 dollar kit for vampire but it’s no big deal.

This is how my face would look (I did it for school already and I would need to put make up again, so this is me) for a vampire. But for zorro I don’t have a picture but I would just have a cape just like vampire, the hat (already have) and that mask (I have).

http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww268 /MacAlexxx/Photo130_2.jpg

So which one?


Vampires are going to be over done this year. I would go with Zorro.

You definitely fit the persona of El Zorro.

Any One Explain Me The Darjeeling Limited Story Please?
Any One Explain Me The Darjeeling Limited Story Please


—The Darjeeling Limited is a 2007 drama-comedy film directed by Wes Anderson, and starring Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman. ———-Plot
The protagonists are three American brothers: Francis, Peter and Jack Whitman, who haven’t seen each other for a year. After their father’s death, they meet each other in a train that travels through India, which is named "The Darjeeling Limited". The oldest of the three brothers, Francis (Wilson) has planned this journey. In the end, the journey should add up to a reunion with their mother, who conducts an abbey in India. Francis conceals this real reason and tells his brothers that they make the journey because of a spiritual self-discovery. Francis’ brothers aren’t very convinced of that and are annoyed with Francis’ regimented behaviour. With his assistant’s help (Brendan) he designs a fastidiously accurate daily plan. He also takes his brothers’ passports to prevent them from leaving the train too early. Francis has suffered injuries from a motorcycle accident and wears bandages. The youngest Whitman, Jack (Schwartzman), has written a short story which is strikingly similar to his own life. However, he denies those similarities. In The Darjeeling Limited, Jack obsessively listens to the answering machine of his ex-girlfriend at every stop the train makes. Moreover, he has an affair with the train’s stewardess (whom he nicknames "Sweet Lime" from the drinks she repeatedly offers), Rita (Karan).

Peter (Brody), the second brother, says that he was his father’s favorite son, by which he justifies keeping many of his late father’s possessions. Francis is naturally revolted. While Peter’s wife Alice is expecting a baby, Peter irrationally fears that their relationship may end in divorce.

The three brothers consume drugs excessively at the beginning. In their trips through the Indian province, they visit temples and markets. At one market Peter buys a venomous snake, which later escapes from its transport container. This escape results in the brothers being confined to their stateroom. Francis and Peter get into a physical fight over Peter being the "favorite" and Jack uses the pepper spray he bought in the village to mace the brothers until they stop fighting. Because of that the three of them have to leave the train with their large baggage and are left in the desert. The three brothers come closer again and even arrange one of Francis’ spiritual rituals. On their way back to civilization they see three boys get into trouble while attempting to cross a river. Jack and Francis rescue two of the boys, but Peter fails to save the third. This affects Peter deeply. In the village of the boys the three brothers attend the boy’s funeral and befriend the people living in the village.

In between the scenery changes into a flashback: The three brothers and Peter’s wife Alice are on the way to their father’s funeral. They stop on the way to get to get their father’s Porsche from the repair shop and to take it with them, but the car isn’t ready to start and so the brothers leave. Back in the present, the Whitmans reach a bus, which brings them to the airport. The brothers stop for a bathroom break from which Francis removes his bandages to shave, this reveals a series of very ugly scars on his face, but his brothers convince him he is beautiful on the inside. However, before they take the plane, they revise their decision and they decide to go and visit their mother, who tells them in a letter that a visit at this time is impossible. Nevertheless, the three brothers travel to their mother’s abbey. The greeting is very emotional (where it is learned Francis’ accident was in fact, a suicide attempt) and the family is reunited again for a moment. On the next morning the three brothers find out that the mother has again left her family and her children.

On the way back the three brothers get a train at the last minute and leave their baggage on the platform. Jack reads his new short story which tells the story of his meeting with his ex-girlfriend in the Hotel Chevalier … In the last scene Francis wants to give the passports back to his brothers, but they decide that he can keep them better than they can and they don’t take them.
