1. Lansing got its start founded by two brothers from New York back in 1835. At the time they settled the area just south of present-day Lansing, they called it "Biddle City." Most of the area was actually flooded for most of the year. Ironically, those two brothers were from Lansing, New York.
2. When the brothers went back to New York they reported that the area was fully established and ready for people to move in. A group of excited residents moved there immediately, only to find that they had been scammed and the area was underwater! The people stuck it out, though, and the rest is history.

17. MSU sought to protect its pride and joy in the mascot "Sparty," believed to be the world's largest freestanding ceramic figure, by safely hiding it away inside the campus stadium to protect it from the outside elements. So the campus installed a bronze version of the statue - but that hasn't kept University of Michigan Wolverines from defacing it with paint.
18. It's been said that MSU has underground "dungeons." Pretty creepy, right? Well, they're actually not dungeons—they're steam tunnels utilized to house the campus utilities. They're so well known that MSU students often go exploring.

39. Lansing was initially a contender for the state's capital over the more logical (and larger) Detroit because the bigger city was considered too close to British-controlled Canada at the time.
40. The Greater Lansing Ballet Company has garnered international attention, and hosted dancers from the National Ballet School in Gdansk, Poland and the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in St. Petersburg.
41. Although not considered the largest city in the state (it barely makes the top five), Lansing kills the competition when it comes to education: two medical schools, one veterinary school, two nursing schools, two law schools, and, of course, Michigan State University.

Latest Reviews
Troy & Paula Haag, Migrate
The contemporary folk/Americana genre is a tricky one to navigate. Beyond the practical concern of making a living in a niche market (though the reality is that it's next to impossible for artists in any musical style to thrive financially these days), there's also the authenticity problem to worry about: Go too far afield of tradition and you'll get accused of artificiality, but cling too much to the sound of your musical forebears and you run the risk of being called derivative.
It's kind of a no-win situation, and the only real way for artists in the genre to handle it is to be true to themselves. Troy and Paula Haag are a husband-and-wife duo who walk that tightrope better than most, with a bare-boned approach that places the emphasis on Troy's delicate acoustic guitar and everyman vocals, Paula's harmonies and subtle percussion, and the couple's plaintive songs of love, devotion and discord. Migrate is their second full-length release, following The Century in 2012, and despite a title that suggests an artistic evolution, it follows that album's format of simple tunes, simply performed, without complicated arrangements or heavy-handed production.
The songs that work best tend to be the uptempo ones. "Touch" uses a bright, hummable melody and a basic four-chord progression to tell of a romance that's stood the test of time; it's joyous, light-hearted and a great example of the Haags at their best. "Emily Dickinson's Daughter" has a rolling, propulsive beat and a narrative that seems to be from the point of view of the great poet's fictional descendant, asking her famously introverted mother whether she believed "that you're the only one who ever locked herself away in hopes of finding something better?" "Used Up" has a jangle not unlike that of the alt-country band The Jayhawks, whose 1997 song "Trouble" the Haags once covered for a tribute album; but the bitter lyrics belie the sweet sonics, with barbed lines like "It's not what I wanted/But it's what I got" describing a love gone wrong. And "Maybe It Was Me" is lovely, with Troy crooning in an unusual accent (the Haags' bio says he was born in Hawaii, but his back-rounded vowels make me wonder if he also spent time in Britain or Australia).
Some of the downbeat selections get a bit mired in sameness. "Samarkand," named after the mythology-laden Asian city, and "Fall for You," another song about the dissolution of a relationship, lack the melodic punch of the rest of the material, though the latter does feature a particularly appealing guitar solo. "This Is How It Feels" is the exception, a beautiful ballad in which Troy's singing is at its most soulful, sliding from syllable to syllable in a way that's reminiscent of Marty Balin's rich, yearning vocals on late-'70s Jefferson Starship singles such as "Count on Me."
The most pleasant song is one that falls somewhere in the middle, tempo-wise. "Cries and Lies" has the two singers' voices bouncing off one another, Beach Boys style, in a shimmering harmony so exquisite it might give you goose bumps. Paula Haag even sings lead for a verse, lending a dose of variety to the program. A second, unlisted, instrumental version of "Cries and Lies" closes things out, laying bare the Haags' gift for unfussy melodies that are just plain pretty. Like the album as a whole, it's charmingly familiar without sounding like a copy of the artists who inspire the duo, helping to make Migrate a success — common folk that's uncommonly good.

Sven Sundberg, Intimacy
Just like a good stretch can help loosen and rejuvenate a body, Sven Sundberg's music can relax and soothe the soul. His serene tunes can aptly bring calm and inspiration to a myriad of settings whether the listener is still in pajamas to office attire to formal wear. Sundberg's album Intimacy is a tranquil collection of instrumental pieces lead by piano and laced with various keyboard effects that are more often than not, incredibly tasteful adding additional color to his music.
The opening number, "In Your Love" has a similar introduction to The Carpenter's "Close To You" with its sweet, slow simplistic melody. Unlike many of his peers who flaunt the synthesized strings to an overbearing effect, Sundberg keeps the accompaniment chilling in the background so that his lovely artistic piano tune stays to the fore. "Carriage Ride" boasts a bright chime lead with percussion and snaps taking the listener on a non-hurried lackadaisical constitutional. The formula Sundberg uses in his compositions of creating peaceful moods works so well, that at times, his pieces lack variability. If one zoned out momentarily they might think that "Seasons Change" is a continuation of the previous track with the main differences being a slightly slower tempo, more echo and a quasi-harpsichord lead. Nevertheless it is a charming song and could have been on the cutting room floor for Mark Knopfler's soundtrack to The Princess Bride.
Another conundrum of this genre of music is not to overdo a good vibe. "Gravity" is an uplifting happy song imbuing a sense of hope and progress, but by the midpoint of the number, this melody loses its momentum due to stasis. However, this issue does not plague the upbeat sunny song "It's Time 2015" which offers a delighted sense of resolve.
While the overall balance and mix of Intimacy is well done, the first half of "Wings" sounds off with the sustained piano and synthesized echo mushing together. Thankfully this issue is resolved by the second half of the piece. Sundberg does present a superfluous amount of syrupy keyboard sounds in "If Only". The slightly despondent tone is practically devoid in the magical jewel-encrusted synthesized tones, like a sparkling teardrop from a My Little Pony. The solo piano in the coda though brings clarity. These starlit tones are also abundant in "Crystal Clear" while the more celestial patches chosen for "Another Heaven" add a positive wholesomeness to the piece.
The namesake of the album is perfectly captured in the romantic ballad "You in Blue" which would be ideal for a candlelit dinner complete with red roses on the table. "Dinner for Two" captures the same sensuous ardor in a more refined, almost regal fashion. Intimacy has the special and unique ability to unassumingly offer the listener the serenity they did even know they were seeking. "Sweet on You" with Sundberg's signature piano lead is earthy and accessible washing away the daily troubles and doldrums of the world.
Intimacy is not the most innovative or creative album ever produced, but it does need or claim to be. It is a therapeutic balm with its tranquil aura and soul soothing integrity.

perkXsoundlabs, Structure
perkXsoundlabs is the experimental electronic music project masterminded by Phoenix-based producer and composer Paul Rolan Perkes. Perkes got his start in the music business rather late in life and not exactly by design. Formerly, he was the Principal Technical Support Analyst at the Arizona State University, but in 2007 Paul was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which obviously brought a lot of tragedy and pain to his life but it was through his shocking illness, that he discovered his deep-seated passion for music and since 2011, the ever-prolific songwriter has written, recorded and self-released 22 albums. The latest of which – his second release of 2015 – is titled, Structure and is available now via all digital retailers. The new album perfectly captures and builds upon his unique brand of electronica that incorporates elements of everything from modern classical compositions to colorful chiptune alongside hints of trippy trance, energetic dubstep and even 70's and 80's progressive rock for an engaging and psychedelic sound that uplifts and transports you to a different mindset.
The album opens with "Without Structure" and immediately introduces you to the thematic element of the album – check out the song titles - along with his nuanced and textural yet melodically-rich and memorable instrumental sound. Standout track, "Without Form" follows with an 80's new wave inspired aesthetic complete with warped synths and infectious beat. "Without Substance" defies its own title with a powerfully pulsating rhythm and anthemic keyboard melodies adding substantial weight to the album. Alternatively, "Without Foundation" lives up to its title with waves of liquid synths and an airy atmosphere. The mysterious "Without Framework" is highlighted by a buzzing low end and twinkling chiptune synths for a nice contrast.
"Without Planning" opens with a deliriously danceable rhythm and ping-ponging synths that dissolves into a bridge consisting of spacey swooshes before breaking back into the beat again for a fun ride. The epic album centerpiece, "Without Thought", clocks in at nearly seven and a half minutes and stands out with a slower, head-nodding beat and a hummable main melody. Next, the cinematic and emotionally-charged "Without Purpose" is built upon an introspective yet still propulsive piano melody that recalls Vangelis. "Without Consideration" stands out with crunchy electro-guitar riffs and a darker, Depeche Mode-esque atmosphere. Later, "Without Basis" soars with a peppy, insistent rhythm and synths like shooting stars and "Without Meter" showcases his love of prog-rock with subtle nods to both Tangerine Dream and Yes with a more straight-forward, tumbling drum beat and cosmic synths; all it needs is some poetic lyrics sung in an upper-registered vocal style. The hard-hitting and heavier "Without Intention" with its stuttering and clattering drum beat, pounded piano notes and early 90's industrial techno flourishes closes out the album with a bang.
With all that Paul Rolan Perkes has been through – MS, the dissolving of a marriage, etc. – he could probably write a mean, classic country & western song without much effort, but that is simply not his style and besides, he perfectly expresses that organic emotion through his instrumental electronic music, especially on his latest album, Structure. Also, if after you listen to Structure you find yourself wanting more music from perkXsoundlabs – and you will – you won't have to wait long, as he already has concepts and music planned for seven more albums to be released. Additionally, he offers a V.I.P. membership plan via his Bandcamp page that allows access to download all of his upcoming albums for a year plus downloads of each of his previous albums for only $30 – the deal of a century for all EDM fans!

Alain Rozan, All Out Stops Rabble Rouser
By now, it's become clear that any type of rock music musician Alain Rozan decides to take on will be represented fairly. In his previous release, Riding The Wind, he tackled everything from blues to rock 'n' roll, whereas this time, his single "All-Out Stops Rabble Rouser" happens to be representing a side of rock we've never heard from him before. Rozan still retains his gruff vocals and his essential style, but he takes it up a notch and digs deeper into the vein of early rock 'n' roll by producing a song that is fundamentally rockabilly.
This rough and tumble style of music works well for the nature of the song. It's got such a gritty, salty sound to it you might just get the feeling you're being transported to some smoky dive bar while listening to this. That's not to say, however, that the quality of the music takes on that same character. Rozan sings about a girl whose beauty and finesse seems to be beyond compare. She turns heads wherever she goes, thus being referred to as an all-out stops rabble rouser.
As with most rockabilly music, the work done with the electric guitar and upright bass stand out. This track is no exception. From the instrumentation to the lyrics, all of the track's aspects seem to work in unison with one another.
Although Frenchman Rozan didn't make his way to the United States until 1981, the era of rockabilly still managed to grab hold of Rozan and make an effect on his music. Whether he decides to go with a full-out rockabilly album or whether he decides to work on something entirely new such as an acoustic soft rock album, it will be interesting to see what Rozan has up his sleeve for us next time.

Sossi, Neo
Is there a place for the traditions of Japan, Armenia, and France in the modern Avant Garde genre? Sossi's Neo combines them, not just in instrumentation, but style, vibe, and mood. In Sossi's songs, she employs mostly piano, flute, and vocals. Singing in both English and Armenian might ordinarily prove to be distracting, but in the case of Neo, the switch between languages is refreshing, and the lyrics thematic, at least judging by the ones written in my own native language.
One very consistent musical aspect of Sossi's album that shouts out to Japanese tradition is the somewhat atonal vocal melodies on top of lovely, classic piano chords and riffs. It doesn't seem to be in an effort to be different for the sake of being different either—rather, Sossi flawlessly weaves cultures together in each track, and her clear, high soprano voice, void of vibrato, mimics the flute sound and floats up and down like pale balloons let go in the wind. No matter whether the vocal tune seems to fit into the chord below, it all still seems to somehow fit together.
In the first two tracks "One Cries Like a Baby," (Armenian), and "Autumn," (English), Sossi demonstrates the harmonic and rhythmic tendencies of the whole album—both tracks thick with sharps and flats, often unexpected ones. Rhythmically, "One Cries Like a Baby" starts with a slight syncopation, tango-like, while "Autumn" has an optimistic lilt, like a waltz and even adds light snare drum, which creates a lovely, grey juxtaposition as the lyrics reference rain and dreariness and end with a wooden flute solo.
The wooden flute solo perfectly sets up track 3, "Fatum," for its opening solo on traditional orchestral flute. "Fatum" resembles "One Cries Like a Baby" in timbre and mood, and it's also sung in Armenian; however, the flute solo reappears over and over in "Fatum," implying a potential trend of new, featured instruments while at the same time punctuating the piece with unique riffs.
Sure enough, strings! "Loveless Romance" begins with what feels like a symphonic arrangement of violins and striking piano chords, again, bringing about a distinct tango rhythm and harmonic structure. Not only does the trend of new instrumentation continue in this track, as expected, but the presence of tango rhythm loops backward to track 1, creating the feeling of moving forward without forgetting the past.
Lyric wise, Sossi also draws from the past—traditional Armenian poems, Japanese Haiku—but the phrasing feels French, reminiscent of choirboys in an echoey church. Though it's unclear whether the music was set to the poems, or whether the poems were chosen/written first, consistency seems to be one of the tools that give Neo a solid identity. Drawing on so many cultures musically and lyrically, the album could easily go schizophrenic, but Sossi's chanson voice never wavers and her tempo rarely shifts. It's a perfect balance.
Because of these placid consistencies, she can change the mood of a song with the addition of just one new instrument, or a very subtle shift of rhythmic accent in the vocals. For example, "My Heart Hurts for the Past" (Armenian) begins again with strings, but they remain the primary background for the entire piece, high and long tones, while the piano takes care of the lower part of the chord. Flute arrives at the very end, picking up the past loop of "Fatum," but in the mean time, the vocals have a little extra staccato. Instead of flowing lines, her voice punches, still quiet, but different enough for me to raise my head and wonder what she's singing about.
The last two tracks, "The Wind" and "Solitude," serve the same purpose as "One Cries Like a Baby" and "Autumn" at the beginning, demonstrating the effectiveness of rhythmic variations and the ultimate display of circling back after the last big step forward with those different vocals in "My Heart Hurts for the Past."
"The Wind," lyrical, with emphasis on piano and flute, carries us along with no bumps in the musical road—no rhythmic surprises, just air for breathing as the vocals drift high above the lower piano chords. "Solitude," somewhat contrary to its name, offers up that strong, piano chord tango beat again. Eventually "Solitude" does move into a slower tempo and softer rhythm more consistent with actual solitude—the piano uses more pedal, the vocals become choir like—then, we're back in the tango ballroom, Sossi's voice in a red dress, subtly bouncing us to the close of the compilation.
The album title, Neo, likely taken from the idea of neo-classical music, seems a perfect way to sum up Sossi's idea and successful execution of her project. The instrumentation and obvious musicianship, especially on piano and vocals, along with the pointed inclusion of many cultures' traditional forms of music and poetry, do represent if not the actuality of classical music, at the very least the stigma around it. However, the title Neo sums up its tracks mainly because, though it does have elements of neo (or modern) classical music, it provides more than a few twists. If you enjoy classical, French chanson, and/or occasional Japanese-like atonals, naming the album Neo from neo-classical will feel like the equivalent of giving your best friend, someone you respect, admire, and love, a fabulous nickname, and Sossi's solemn yet playful set of tunes which draw from very special, important cultures, then throw caution to the wind, will relax the muscles in your mind and ears, and free those beautiful, pale balloons.

Fugitive Feline: Man-Eating Tiger In India Kills 10, Remains On The Loose
Villagers in northern India are facing an unexpected threat from a tigress that is believed to have escaped from one of the country's national parks.
The female tiger first mauled a 65-year-old man to death on Dec. 29 in the Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh state, reports the Associated Press. But after her latest attack on Sunday, the tigress has killed at least nine other people in a region of 80 miles around.
The cat's latest victim was a 50-year-old man who was collecting firewood by his home on Sunday. Neighbors attempted to scare the cat away. But the animal had eaten the man's legs and stomach before they ran it off.
The cat is believed to have escaped from Corbett National Park, the oldest national park in India. Villagers are now being warned to be extremely cautious when approaching forested areas. Wildlife officials were close to capturing the tigress over the weekend. But Saket Badola, deputy director of Corbett National Park, says she "did not attack the bait and left silently."
"The animal has started attacking humans because it is not getting its natural prey," said Rupek De, chief wildlife warden of Uttar Pradesh. "The tigress must be tired because it is not getting adequate rest."
Villagers in the region have requested increased protection and have even taken over a national forest office. Officials continue to encourage them to move in groups, especially when venturing into or close to forested areas.

Let's go back to Poperydom. Did you get your plenary indulgence? If not, I'm pretty sure you can watch the papal blessing from Wednesday and still get it. You have to make a confession and receive the Eucharist within 7 days, and you can offer the indulgence up for a deceased family member/loved one or use it yourself. I am admittedly pretty new to indulgences (always knew the word, but didn't know much about them) so I was VERY excited that we already were scheduled to go to confession on Wednesday! Which by the way, I almost cried when the priests (8 of them) had us sing Long Live the Pope, and had Habemus Papam signs on the doors. It was a total goosebump session!
Weekend plans: My husband is mowing today for the first time this season while I'm at my training. I'm thinking while he is at work tomorrow, I might get my hands dirty in the yard. We are going to re-mulch and plant flowers after Easter, but I want to at least do a little weeding. It's funny. I hated weeding when I was little, but there is a definite charm in weeding a garden of my very own! What are your yard work plans this spring? I'm trying to get some ideas.

Yes, we're travelling, our first proper trip since we got the pups over a year ago, only three nights in Oslo (hence the flag), modest by past standards but grand in recent times. In my last blog I wrote about routines and how I missed them when they weren't there. So even when we travel there should be routines and this trip was no different. Every morning Mrs Summerhouse sets her alarm for 5.30. She likes to get up early to do her yoga and latterly to feed the pups. No, I don't understand either, I get up at 6.30, quite early enough, I reckon. Anyway this Saturday morning the alarm went off as usual bang on 5.30. It seemed louder than usual but then travel will disorient a person, but bloody hell it is loud, It's woken up the other guests, they're running in the corridors outside our door. When we stopped to consider we realised that it was, in fact, the hotel fire alarm that had gone off and guests were leaving the building. Saving our valuables, pulling overcoats over pyjamas, we joined them. We were on the fourth floor, surprisingly long way down when you have rickety knees and even further back up when you have a rickety rest of body. This of course after having been given the all clear. We're not stupid you know. I ruminated that I would be of little use to the much fitter Mrs SH in such an emergency. Leave me, save yourself, say goodbye to the pups for me, I might say. More likely – that's right run, you bitch, after all I've done for you.
And so our first proper day in Oslo began. You might think it improbable but it continues in this bizarre fashion. Maybe it's the trolls. The ferry trip to Bygdoy, the 'museum island' was sensible enough. You need to take a ferry to the island. It was raining and you could see very little which made us wonder why people would take the two hour boat trip around the fiords, but at least you didn't have to scramble for a seat. After the museums, we walked to the Opera House, a grand and imaginatively designed building on the water front, as you may get some sense of from my photos. The one on the left is people on the 'roof' of the 'mountain' it's supposed to represent. The view below is from the water.
The main materials of construction are Italian marble and German Oak. I've even included a photo of these just to prove it's true. Call me a pedant but I would have thought the one thing Norway had in shed loads was rock and wood. The fact the building was designed by a Norwegian architectural firm but used predominantly 'foreign' materials caused some consternation in Norway. And they're not even in the EU, got their own money and everything.
Still we're not complaining because the music was probably the best deal in Norway, financially speaking that is. For 50 kroner each we got to hear Marina (see below) play a varied repertoire. This in the land where a pint and a half of lager cost us £12, i.e. 120 Kroner. Some bloke introduced her and talked for five minutes about the various pieces of music, we couldn't understand a bloody word he said but he was obviously hilarious because the audience twice sort of grunted and his already narrow eyes narrowed a shade more as he delivered, what we assume was, a witticism. Not what you might call a warm man. Ascetic, is that the word? Admittedly, the performance wasn't quite as I'd hoped. Marina played the piano from a sitting position not as in her photo below. So she walked in, sat down at the piano which was in a sort of corridor, rather than in an actual hall, hence probably the cheapness.
Her hands hovered over the piano and a mellifluous sound filled the room / corridor, unfortunately it was from the phone of the dickhead sitting next to us. Much Norwegian tutting, he turned it off, and Marina began. What he did throughout the rest of the performance, first half anyway, was even more annoying, he squeaked his shoes, he rubbed the leather uppers together. ALL THE WAY through the first half. In the scherzos it didn't matter, in the quiet sections it was excruciating. Can I have been the only person who heard his performance? I don't recall the programme notes saying Marina accompanied by the twat in the squeaky shoes but maybe that was in the Norwegian bit. Confusingly Marina did not stand up for applause at the end of every piece but did for some, making it impossible to know how far through the whole performance she had got unless you knew the pieces really well, which she did but we didn't. So it was hard to know when she had finished. Some people in the audience left and others remained. The two old ladies at the side of me insisted there was another piece the Scriabin to come. No, I'd never heard of him? either. It wasn't until they started clearing the chairs from around us that they, and we, left. Despite the squeaking and the children, much too young in my view, the Norwegians seem to love their little children, well, bless, still good value anywhere and for Norway exceptional value. As if to reinforce this our final act of the day was to buy two Irish coffees, in what looked like a cheap little bar. Cost? A mere £21 for two. Is it me or is that ridiculously, bloody expensive, criminally expensive. We went to bed, me in high dudgeon, Mrs SH saying relax, we're on holiday. I hate being told to relax.
Sunday started normally. A free breakfast and a walk to the flea market where I bought a bust of that well-known Norwegian composer, Beethoven. Well, it was only 50 kroner, you can't say no to a bargain like that. Not in Norway you can't. My other souvenirs of which I am very proud were two what we used to call LPs in the old days of jazz guitarists and two CDs. I've even included photos. Those who read this blog regularly will immediately spot the connection to my jazz workshops. Then we took the fiord tour, did I mention it was a beautiful day, how smug I felt.
God doesn't like smug people. I had given very careful instructions to Mrs SH to sit on the right hand side of the boat having studied the route and clearly all the points of interest were on the right. We got there early to ensure we got a good seat. Then the fucking boat went to other way round the roughly circular route. Our guide picked up her microphone and said on our left, she said this just about every time. I was quite cross – again. This was a typical view of the bloke's head in front.
A rare fiord view from our side of the boat
All my crossness was dissipated when we got back and went to a recently built modern art gallery that we had passed by on the tour, you could even see it from the wrong side of the boat.
It was fabulous, the building itself, the art inside it and the fact that we got in as senior citizens, I think you have to be 67, which we aren't, only slightly was my pleasure reduced by the realisation that the young lady at the till thought we looked 67, still never mind. The art works were in our view fabulous. If you ever wondered where Damien Hirst's cows ended up, wonder no more, there were more of his works than I have ever seen in the UK and we went to the same art college, irrelevant but I just had to get it in. There were several Jeff Koons and they don't come cheap, Francis Bacon's triptych, ditto and a staggering, Anselm Kieffer, you get the idea. A bargain at 80 kroner each. I've put three examples at the end of the blog. To round off the day, a beer and a curry. We could have had a free dinner back at the hotel, we had done for the previous two nights, but decided to lash out and spend our remaining kroner, there were not many remaining, so it wasn't difficult.
And that is how we spent our first proper trip abroad since we had the dogs. For those of you who have read my financial blog, you will be surprised that we chose what must be a contender for most expensive city in the world (can you be jet-lagged from spending too much money?)but there is a story behind it, tied to air miles but that's for another time. For now, that's retirement and travel. Given how much we've missed the pups I'm very afraid it may be quite a while before we take off without them again.
Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Anselm Kieffer

چکیده انگلیسی
The advent of social media has challenged companies as sole creators of marketing messages. Whether intentionally branded or subconsciously promoted, users become ambassadors for products and brands by producing and disseminating user-generated content (UGC). Whereas previous studies on UGC have mainly considered verbal peer recommendations or written reviews, our research focuses on user-generated videos (UGVs). In our 2 (source: user vs. agency) × 2 (technical quality: low vs. high) experimental study, we explore the impact of user-generated videos (UGVs) vs. agency-generated videos (AGVs) on spectators' perceived source credibility and their intention to visit the tourist destination Tyrol in Austria, as promoted in the video. In addition, we explore the moderating role of video quality. In contrast to conventional wisdom, our results indicate that there is no general superiority of UGVs over AGVs. Rather, the influence of different video generators (user vs. agency) on spectators' perception and intended behavior depends on the technical quality of the video. In the case of low technical quality, users as generators have a significantly stronger positive effect on source trustworthiness and expertise – and thereby on consumers' intended behaviors – than AGVs. However, no impact from the generating source on trustworthiness has been found under the condition of highly technical quality. Concerning source expertise, videos generated by users are rated more highly than agency-generated videos under both low and high technical qualities, but the advantage is significantly lower under high technical quality. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of user-generated content overall and relativize the widely assumed general superiority of user-generated content over commercial, firm-generated content, at least in the case of videos.

The Oxandrolone hormone does not carry any estrogenic related side effects. It does not aromatize and cannot lead to gynecomastia or water retention due to increases in estrogen levels. It further carries no progestin related activity, which again supports no estrogenic related side effects. Due to water retention being impossible with this steroid, this will decrease the risk of high blood pressure. Excess water retention can promote high blood pressure. Some steroids that do not aromatize can lead to high blood pressure, such as Trenbolone , but Anavar is rarely associated with this trait.
As with all anabolic steroids Oxandrolone will suppress natural testosterone production in men. Testosterone suppression does vary from steroid to steroid in terms of the rate and Oxandrolone is one of the milder forms. However, most all men will still need some form of exogenous testosterone if they are using Oxandrolone at any significant dose for any significant time. Those who do not supplement with testosterone have an excellent chance of putting themselves into a low testosterone condition. For the purpose of information a performance level dosing of Oxandrolone will suppress natural testosterone production in most men by dropping serum testosterone levels by 50%. This will put most men into a low level state and if not certainly in a below optimal state.
Once the use of Oxandrolone is done and it along with all anabolic steroids has cleared the body natural testosterone production will begin again. It's important to note that recovering prior natural levels assumes no prior low level condition existed and that there was no damage done to the HPTA during steroid use . Most men will need a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan to aid in recovery, but they should also note that PCT will not promote full recovery. It takes several months to recover from anabolic steroid use and there's no guarantee that you always will even with the best PCT plan in the world.

Check the Support page for details. In general, we offer limited email support. We will always try to get back to people with general questions, or questions about what Mixman can and can't do. For detailed tech support, you must be registered with Mixman. Full support is for paying customers. We will do our best, as quickly as we can to help you out.
No. Older versions of Mixman were created for different versions of Windows. Some go back as far as Windows 3.1, Win95, WinME, Win98, and WinXP. These Mixman products were made between 1996-2005.
Mixman is no longer shipping physical products in a box or CD/DVD-rom.
Current Products include:
Mixman Spin Control™ is for Win7 **
Mixman Loop10™ is for Win8
** (Spin Control will be sold in the future from Mixman.com and will install and operate correctly on Win8)
Unfortunately, at the moment you can't. Mixman originally developed the USB Controller for DM2 with Mattel. Some changes would need to be developed to update the controller and make it compatible with Win7 or Win8. Do not attempt to run the controller or install it on any Windows operating system past WinXP!
We have been getting a lot of feedback from people asking for this, and we are looking in to it. If you have the USB Controller and would like to use it with our new App for Win7, you can send that feedback via our Contact page or on the Mixman Facebook page.
Many people including various hackers and programmers have written their own software to allow the Mixman DM2 USB Controller to become an input device for their own purposes. These are all unauthorized uses of Mixman Technologies, Inc. intellectual property and we have not given our permission to anyone to do this. We have no connection at this time to anyone "hacking" into our controller.
No, currently Mixman Spin Control supports Mixman TRK, PC WAV files, and REX files. Mixman Loop10, loads songs and doesn't support loading tracks one at a time.
You must use Mixman Spin Control to "load" in sounds one-by-one.
MP3s will not load at this time, and it is not recommended that you try to load a full linear file of a song in to Mixman. The results will not be what you expect.
Mixman is for sample-based audio loops, and while they can be long files — generally they are not super long and not entire linear songs which are also a composite of all the sound sources in a song. Mixman is designed for separate sounds being controlled.
Mixman songs are interactive versions of songs. Varying musical elements have been separated and organized so that you can perform and create your own musical creations and perform real-time remixes.
The Track Maker Studio in Mixman allows you to load up to 8 source wav samples and create patterns and sequences that can be saved out as TRK files. You may then Load those TRK files in to Mixman Spin Control and save them as part of a .MIX file.
If you load (we recommend small/shorter sounds) Wav files in to Mixman, you can use the Mix to TRK Export feature. This is an advanced power move and we recommend you check for a future How To Video that demonstrates how to create a Mix and then Export it to a TRK and then load the TRK back in to Mixman.
TRK files or "track files" are Mixman's own format for storing sample based loops. TRK files are similar to Rex files, and they are like containers or wrappers that can have from 1 to 127 samples embedded within them. TRK files are more responsive to your live triggering and have a variety of settings to give you a better feel when you are performing Remixes in Mixman. They also allow for auto-beat matching. You may load a TRK with a fast BPM (beats per minute/tempo) and combine it with a TRK with a slower BPM and they will automatically work together.
We recommend that you are very careful about manually adjusting where data lives. Win7 has certain ways it wants Apps to do things now. Mixman Tracks, Mixes, Exports, Wav, My Samples, My Tracks, etc... All live in under Program Data/Mixman Technologies.
If you want to move over older Mix and TRK files you will find the Tracks and Mixes folder in that location.
When you install new Songs, that is where they will install to.
There has been a promotion running and still ongoing (as of Summer 2013) that offers a promo code to get Mixman Spin Control for Free from Intel on their Intel AppUp Store. This offer is being delivered to anyone who is in our e-mail list. If you are not receiving this offer – and think you are in our e-mail list – then check your spam/junk folder and make sure Mixman is not viewed as spam to your e-mail. If you are not in the e-mail list from Mixman, then you can register with Mixman.com and you will be added.
As well, the Mixman App (Free Version) is available here at Mixman.com, you must register on the website first, and then you can download and install the Free version and there is no time limit. You can also install Free Songs to add to your library.
YES. Mixman is working with small, medium and major record labels to get songs. These will be the Mixman-enabled interactive versions of Songs for use with the Mixman Apps.
We hope to bring back some of the old classics we've offered in the past including Vintage D-Plates from the Deep Mixman Archive and Mixman Singles.
Yes. Use the contact form to contact us. Provide some info about your music, your band or who you are, if you have any links to your presence on the web. We'll get back to you.
No. Some are free and some are not. Artists, Bands and labels set the price for their songs, but generally we try to keep songs around $.99-$3.99.
Right now, all songs on Mixman Radio are chosen by our selectors. In the future, we will have auto-submissions and user-voting to rank user creations.
Yes, we will be offering videos for advanced power moves as soon as possible.
Mixman currently offers Mixman Spin Control for Win7 and Mixman Loop10 for Win8. Mixman is developing new Apps for iOS, Android Windows Mobile and other platforms. We have been inviting Mixman heads via our e-mail to participate in beta-testing, and feedback forums which we will be implementing soon. If you are interested in participating, send us an e-mail.
Use the contact form on Mixman.com and let us know what's happening? Registration requires that you provide us a valid email address and then you will receive an e-mail from us with a link that you must click on to verify and finalize the registration. Be careful to check all your spam and junk folders.
Mixman was not designed that way since a song in Mixman is not one file but made of many elements that you perform your own way.
* We are looking into continuous song load and load on-the-fly in future versions of Mixman or with updates to Spin Control and Loop10. Mixman for mobile like iOS and Android WILL have continuous music playing.
Absolutely. We will be posting some feedback forms in the future. In the meantime, if there is a feature you'd like to see, or some things you'd like to see from Mixman, just use the contact form.
Mixman is designed for FUN! Mixman does not require musical training, advanced audio skills, and allows anyone to have fun making music. It turns your PC into an instrument. Mixman Spin Control does offer some real pro features that can be quite useful. Many people have used Mixman over the years to help with a project they cared about. It's very easy and fast to do certain things in Mixman.
A reviewer for Remix Magazine, once described Mixman as a "swiss army knife", that was handy for a Pro to have around the studio.
Our focus now at Mixman is making entertaining interactive music experiences that allow people to have fun interacting with Songs in various styles and from artists and bands they are interested in.
Mixman Spin Control has many more production features and features for creating original music.
Mixman Loop10, is focused on real-time performance and remixing.
Not as this time. Let us know if you'd like us to offer gear again!
Not at this time. It is possible that Mixman will do future versions with language support.
Mixman is exploring language support for Mixman Loop10.
