Music media formats have changed quite a bit since recordings were first released to the mass market many decades ago, but is the current favorite, MP3 audio, really the best? In this article we will look at the different standard formats and how they've stood the test of time.

It all started with the gramaphone record, which were large platters made of shellac. They ran at a speed of 78 revolutions per minute and required a gramaphone player with a heavy needle to play the record. The records sounded really bad and would break easily no matter how careful you were. The advent of the vinyl record changed all that. Records were now lighter, sounded better, and later when releases came out in stereo, it seemed like there could never be anything better for consumers to listen to music in their own homes. The 33-1/3 rpm vinyl record reigned for decades, throughout the sixties, seventies, and eighties.

Eight track tapes, reel to reel tapes, and other compact cassette formats tried to usurp the record as king, but it could never match the fidelity of a record on a good sound system. However, the cassette tape had a major advantage going for it. It was small, and you could carry a tape practically anywhere. Plus, they were recordable, so it was easy to customize your own "albums" of your favorite tracks. Cassettes were favored by youths in the mid to late eighties, but vinyl records still held it's place as the preferred format.

Around the mid to late 80's the compact disc became affordable for the masses, and by 1990, CD's had firmly taken their place as the preferred format. Vinyl sales dropped off and many pressing factories shut down for good. The CD offered relatively good sound no matter what system it was played on as it was a completely digital medium. The anolog dynamics of a record meant that if you didn't care for a record or play it on halfway decent equipment, it could sound really bad.

Cassettes soon heard their death knell as well, holding on for dear life in the urban market before being put out of print on a massive scale. The CD was the king of the formats from 1990 until about 2002 when more compact digital formats took over.

The MP3, a compressed audio file, changed everything. Starting off as a way to pirate music over the internet with great quality sound, it later gained acceptance as a viable format for sale and finally in 2003 sales online of MP3 took over CD sales. Mobile devices like the iPod made this change more staggering and record companies scrambled to get a piece of the action as consumers no longer had to buy a full album to get a favorite hit song, they could buy one song for about 99 cents.

The problem with these digital media formats is the quality of the sound. MP3, no matter how good it gets, can sound flat and sterile compared to the warm analog tones of a vinyl record played on good equipment. Enthusiasts have held on to the vinyl format for years, and the proof is in the sales figures. While CD sales steadily drop, vinyl sales are climbing year after year. Used record shops and specialty stores are thriving, while chain CD outlets go out of business. The MP3 and digital format still rules, but it's not necessarily the best, and the consumer definitely recognizes this.

Body Aches - Symptoms and Remedies

You crawl out of bed in the morning, and there it is: pain. For some of us, it's a hot needling in the knee. For others, it's a creaky, aching back, complete with knotted neck muscles; or it's the tender hip joint that feels like you somehow got sand in it overnight.

Do some of these need medical attention? Maybe, but some of them are everyday, run-of-the-mill aches and pains that we can treat at home. But how do you tell the difference?

People who injure themselves will end up paying for it as they get older. Older people, in particular, are more prone to accidents because they generally lack balance, strength, and flexibility.

Older people often feel stiff in the morning and is due to a natural part of the aging process. Their muscles and bones aren't as stable as they once were. This is mainly due to fascia. This is the glue that connects every part of the body together. Fascia binds specific cells into tissues, tissues into organs, and organs into systems. It cements all internal structures into place and envelopes the entire body. Its main role is to keep your body strong and healthy by allowing you freedom of movement.

When you were younger, the fascia was pliable and flexible. Once you reach the age of 35, you will feel your body start to lose its elasticity. You'll know when this happens because you feel tautness in places you've never expected. , As you continue to become older, you will find that everything becomes worse. Once you give in to the pain and contort your body just to make it feel better, you will find yourself permanently settling into this awkward position.

Change is in fact a part of life. At age 30, you might feel stiff and achy after a strenuous day beforehand. At 40 the stiffness and pain seem to last longer. At 50 this feeling becomes part of your morning routine. Then, you might think that things could even get worse. Is there a cure for this? Yes, there is. If you take good physical care of yourself, you may be able to get back some of the physical strength and agility you had when you were younger. You just really need to invest in your health through regular regimen of moderate exercise, stretching, and strength training. You can restore your body's physical health and at the same time, protect yourself from future injuries.

The normal medical remedies for treating body aches and pain is usually the use of analgesics like acetylsalicylic acid and ibuprofen. These come under the category of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These are a good method of preventing aches, pains, and work for a short time period. An additional benefit is that these do not interfere with the works of the immune system like another group of painkillers called corticosteroids. Corticosteroids and anti-inflammatory drugs work by suppressing inflammation that are usually the cause of a lot of pain and aches. Unfortunately, they also suppress the immune system depending on how they are administered. Corticosteroid injections work by suppressing pain in a localized region of the injection, while oral doses work on the whole body. Inflammation usually is the cause of a lot of pain, because any kind of tissue injury elicits an immune response. This causes swelling, depressing nerves and causing pain. Therefore, suppressing the inflammation works as a good strategy. They also have a wider usage as in the case of arthritis. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that occurs when the lubricating parts between two joints wears out and causes injury. Corticosteroids are administered here not just to suppress pain, but to stop the degradation of the lubricating tissue as well - or at least slow down the degradation, since the degradation of this tissue lies in an immunological fault.

Another great option is the spa therapy. This seems to be the latest innovation in home therapy. Adults enjoy the benefits without the hassle of driving to a spa. Of course, this requires a sizable chunk in your savings. However the therapeutic benefits could not be better. People are now looking into investing on something like this because the equipment involved were designed to improve your body's health, especially when it is used regularly. The therapeutic tub has an automatic purge system that periodically runs for a few minutes after the bath. The jets are able to remove diseases from the bacteria laden water.

Major homebuilders now recognize its importance, especially in an older person's home. Many now offer building packages so that the payment scheme is easier on the pocket. Just remember that if you put any importance to your health, you must consider every option available. Whether you choose exercise or the spa, you must prioritize your body above everything else. Investment plays a vital role here, and whether you choose to invest your time or your money is all up to you.

fiat 124 severe miss?

I have a 1977 fiat 124 that intermittently missed and backfires at lower speed but runs perfect at high speed. 2 yrs ago my son put a retro fit electronic points set on it. I wonder if its an electrical short or bad ground. Sometimes with the key on and the engine not running the tach needle will begin jumping up and down.

I would be willing to bet that you have chafed wiring on the distributor pickup coil. This unit moves on a plate with ignition advance and is probably clearing the short (or open-they can fail either way) in the advanced (higher RPM) position. This is a very common issue with the Magneti Marelli electronic ignition units found on later 124s. Remove the distributor cap and examine the round cable from the distributor to the coil assembly carefully. You may be able to tape up the damage for troubleshooting purposes, but the pickup coil should be replaced for a permanent fix. OEM Marelli units are much more reliable than aftermarket ones, but are becoming quite hard to find.

This answer assumes that your son replaced the stock dual-points distributor with a later model Fiat electronic unit and not an aftermarket module such as a Pertronix.
