![]() I can still remember spending the entire day at school counting the minutes until I could get home to listen to the transcendent power chords of Styx’s “Paradise Theater.” I liked yearning for my favorite records. I liked that I could only listen to my albums on a turntable in the living room. But for me, this inconvenience was part of the whole point. I really miss the fact that listening to music used to be a concerted sonic and emotional event, rather than the backing track to some flashing screen. “Can’t Stand Losing You” by the Police allowed me to accept my own romantic woe as entirely justified and maybe even somewhat comic. AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” filled me with the intoxicating power of my own aggression. When I closed my eyes and immersed myself in Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke,” for instance, I was overcome by a rare and all-encompassing optimism. If I listened carefully enough, in fact, the songs allowed me to tap into certain volatile emotions that felt otherwise out of reach. It was not something I did while working on homework, let alone while checking e-mail or thumbing out text messages. In other words, I considered listening to an album an activity in and of itself. If I liked the record a lot, I would listen to it two or three times in a row, usually with the album cover on my lap, so I could study the lyrics and artwork. I put an LP on the turntable, dropped the needle, then sat on the living room rug and listened to every single note. See, back when I was a kid in the ‘70s, the way I listened to music was pretty simple. (If you had presented me with this gadget even a decade ago, I’m pretty sure I would have proclaimed you the Messiah.)īut for all the joys of such wizardry, I’ve been experiencing a creeping sense of dread recently when it comes to iTunes, a dark hunch that technology has impoverished the actual experience of listening to music. Thanks to the wonders of the ever-shrinking iPod, I could carry thousands of songs with me wherever I went, on a device barely larger than a postage stamp. ![]() Not only was my musical archive more organized, it was portable too. And if I heard a killer song at a party or on the radio, there was a handy online store where I could instantly download that track for a buck. If I wanted to make a mixed CD - a process that had taken me hours, particularly in the cassette era - I had only to create a new playlist. If I wanted to play a particular song, I no longer had to go hunting through those stacks. The more I used iTunes, the more slavish my devotion grew. After 20 years of amassing music, I had more than 4,000 albums, most of them stacked precariously in my basement. When I first encountered iTunes, the wildly popular music app that allows fans to compile their own collections and digital library, I was agog.

THe LCD-GX features large, circular over-ear earcups and a comfortable suspension headband design. It also has one of the best headset mics we’ve tested. It offers an excellent gaming experience, despite lacking the digital processing and effects you might see in other gaming headsets. While the company does recommend that you use it with a good amp/DAC, it does not require an amp/DAC - you shouldn’t have any trouble powering it if you plug it directly into a PC or laptop. The LCD-GX sounds incredible, especially compared to other gaming headsets - it is slightly warm-leaning overall, but it has great dynamics and multi-layered mid-tones that make for a very enjoyable listening experience. But it’s far from cheap - priced at $899, it definitely earns its title of ‘Best Gaming Headset Splurge.’ This over-ear, open-back planar magnetic gaming headset features a lightweight magnesium frame and a design that mirrors the rest of the company’s LCD lineup. If you’re looking for an audiophile experience that will also work as a gaming headset, Audeze’s LCD-GX has you covered. ![]() Open-back design means everyone can hear what you’re listening to Read: SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless review But if these aren’t in your budget, the Kingston HyperX Cloud Alpha is a solid sub-$100 pick that boasts excellent audio and a comfortable fit. The Nova Pro Wireless is ambitious, but it delivers - and it’s a much better deal if you consider that this might be the only headset/pair of headphones you ever need to buy. ![]() This headset not only does it all, it does it all well - from PC gaming to console gaming to video chatting to audiophile listening. Oh, and there’s more: A fully-retractable bidirectional noise-canceling mic, active noise canceling (with an optional transparency mode), and simultaneous 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with audio mixing capabilities. It’s not just game audio that sounds immersive and layered this headset does a great job with all types of audio. The Nova Pro Wireless delivers excellent audio and sports hi-fi-capable, custom-designed 40mm drivers (though you’ll need a wired connection and a DAC to experience the headset’s 10 - 40,000 Hz frequency response). ![]() ![]() Enter your New Password and confirm your New Password.You can change or reset your passwords by visiting or calling 77.Under Password Details click Change Password.If none of these options are available, please call the EpicCare Link Service Desk at 85.

Since roofs were open like patios, a small arbor or enclosure in the corner of a flat roof was a very inconvenient place to live (see verse 19). It really doesn’t matter how small the house is, if there is love there but you cannot get a house big enough to be happy in, if there is continual fighting. If our only place of rest is a battleground, then we are constantly in turmoil. We discussed in an earlier lesson how our homes need to be a place of rest and a refuge from the problems of the world. Proverbs 21:9 “ better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.” “The way of man” means the way of the worldly man. The pure in heart does what he believes would be right in God’s sight. We see that the evil man is crooked and perverse. ![]() Proverbs 21:8 “The way of man froward and strange: but the pure, his work right.” So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence it takes away the life of its possessors.” Proverbs 1:18-19 “But they lie in wait for their own blood ” “They ambush their own lives. They have no intention of doing what is right (just). Little does he know that the one he is destroying is himself. Here again, we see the robber wanting something that does not belong to him. Proverbs 21:7 “The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they refuse to do judgment.” All of this is caused by thinking too highly of self and feeling that the world owes you something. Whether they are seeking death or not, that is what they will get by living treacherous or deceitful lives. When a lying tongue is coupled with cheating, we see a terrible sin. We have been talking all through Proverbs about how bad a lying tongue is. Proverbs 21:6 “The getting of treasures by a lying tongue a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.” People who do not consistently work and try to have something wind up with nothing but want. This is speaking of a diligent worker who thinks constantly of working toward having plenty. Proverbs 21:5 “The thoughts of the diligent only to plenteousness but of every one hasty only to want.” They show 3 major defects in the way this gain is acquired: Verses 5-7 address the evils of ill-gotten gain. “Lamp” is used as a symbol for the eyes, which conveys their pride. This plowing of the wicked translates to “Lamp” of the wicked. This is speaking of a conceited person so filled up with self that their heart is even stayed on themselves. Proverbs 21:4 “A high look, and a proud heart, the plowing of the wicked, sin.” It was very important to keep the sacrifices until Jesus became the perfect Lamb sacrifice and did away with all sin, for all time, to those who would accept Him. God wants us to love Him so much that we will do justly and judge righteously: not from being compelled to do so, but because we love Him. Proverbs 21:3 “To do justice and judgment more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.”Įxternal acts of worship, though according to biblical prescription, are repulsive to God when the heart of the worshiper is wicked. It is either desperately wicked, or it is pure. The heart is the center of our being, and actually controls what we are. This, as we have said before, tends toward pleasing the flesh which is sin. The evil the Israelites were guilty of over and over was doing what was right in their own sight. While man can be self-deceived, God determines his true motives. This is speaking of a false security that man has. ![]() Proverbs 21:2 “Every way of a man right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.” The rivers flow because God ordained it.Ĭolossians 1:16-17 “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” The Lord Jesus is King of all kings and Lord of all Lords. ![]() For sure, kings and rulers are ruled over by the Lord. Sometimes, God just places a thought in their head and rules them that way. No one is so great (not even a king), that he is not under the rule of the Lord. Just as the Lord through Moses ruled over the Pharaoh in Egypt and finally caused Pharaoh to let the people go. Note the examples of the divine hand of God in the cases of Artaxerxes (Ez. The Lord sovereignly controls political powers. The Lord is the one, in the final analysis, who will be King. Proverbs 21:1 “The king’s heart in the hand of the LORD, the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” ![]() ![]() The software can be used as a full-fledge suite to satisfy all the PDF needs.

![]() The Fuji X-T3 omits a headphone output and has only a single UHS-1 SD card slot, which can be a bit frustrating to some, but those limitations are understandable given the price point at which the camera is offered.įuji say their AF algorithm has been improved along with the accuracy of face/eye detection AF. F-Log Gamma & ETERNA Film Simulation + more.4K DCI and UHD Video 8bit 4:2:0 internal:.26.1 Megapixel APS-C “X-Trans” BSI CMOS Sensor.Its improved touchscreen response enables faster and more intuitive camera operations. The X-T30 is available in the popular Black version the Silver version for a premium look with greater sheen, and the Charcoal Silver version for those that care about how the camera looks. The rear LCD monitor uses a touchscreen panel display 1.3mm thinner than that on the X-T20. Examples of some design changes include the “Focus Lever”, which now replaces the “Selector Button” to afford extra grip space at the rear. The new Fujifilm X-T30 inherits some popular exterior design features of the X-T20, while adopting a new grip design that makes the camera body sit comfortably in your hand. The 4K however seems to be limited to around 10 minutes at a time, which is a downside.Īt $899, the Fuji X-T30 looks like a hell of a B-camera to the X-T3 or even a main camera for content creators or photographers, who prefer lighter gear, but still want to get the benefit of a great AF system, a terrific APS-C sensor and that sweet Fuji colour science and look. The X-T30 even supports 4K DCI spec (4096 x 2160) recording and supersamples the video from a 6K (6240 x 3510) imaging area (using the full sensor in other words) to produce stunning quality imagery in 4K for for more detail and sharper look, free of moire or aliasing. We don’t get 4K/60p on the Fuji X-T30, but this is to be expected – after all they have to limit some features the Fuji X-T30 also does not get H.265 – the internal 4K recording is in 8bit 4:2:0 H.264, which may be limiting to some, but there is a 4K HDMI output that allows for 10bit 4:2:2 recording to an external recorder such as the Atomos Ninja V for example. The X-T20 had a few more limitations in the video department compared to the X-T2, but with the new X-T30, Fuji have managed to pack the new model with some of the best features from the X-T3 – namely the 425-point Phase Detect autofocus system, the 4K/30p recording with F-Log and also the included Film Simulations such as ETERNA, ASTIA, PRO Neg, and others that Fuji are famous for. Much like they did with the X-T2 and the following X-T20 variant, Fujifilm have once again managed to make a really useful and compact APS-C mirrorless camera without too much compromises. Fujifilm have announced an even cheaper, or rather, budget-friendlier version of the X-T3, called the Fujifilm X-T30. ![]() View a set of screenshots at the gallery.

It would have been nice to have HDMI 2.1, but at this price and considering that so few people can even take advantage of 2.1, that’s perfectly understandable.

It also ticks the boxes for Dolby Vision and HDR support. It offers 18Gbps of bandwidth, and auto-switching functionality. This switch from Kinivo is an excellent all-around 4K 60Hz switcher. In the case of switches with an automatic switching function, you may never use the remote, but even auto switches get it wrong sometimes, so a remote is still a decent convenience.
