Re: Best pickup device for a classical/flamenco guitar?
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2017 10:09 am
Sam Spoons wrote:mashedmitten wrote:I do know players that have an extremely light attack and use the thinnest of picks, strictly. Put an extra heavy in their hand and it's a train wreck. And they're fast.
Electric players who use distortion can get away with thin picks 'cos most of he tone comes from the pedals/preamps (I play electric) but, as MM says, the control is vastly superior with a still pick. Also most guys who play fast with distortion (the ubiquitous 'shredders') are playing mostly 'legato' style and only picking every third note anyway so the pick is almost irrelevant.
Really though I'm talking about acoustic guitar. Look at fast acoustic players and it's an entirely different picture (referring to 'flat pickers' here BTW not fingerstyle players). Modern Gypsy Jazz players like Joscho Stephane and Remi Harris (and of course Django himself), or Bluegrass flat pickers like Tony Rice and the UK's own Charlotte Carrivick all play blisteringly fast on big acoustic guitars with heavy strings and thick plectrums. They pick almost every single note with very few hammer-ons or pull-offs and at it's best it's stunningly clean and precise.
jmmm... I strongly disagree with your 1st paragraph. It may be something like that in metal-ish styles with 0.09 strings, loads of high hain distortion and scoop mids. But listening to duane allman, stevie ray vaughan or even brian may himself I wouldnt discard the importance of the plectrum in the final tone ;-)

My Journey On Buying Glasses Online
Here is more on choosing an online eyewear supplier to meet your needs. Most glasses are not cheap, costing hundreds of bucks, particularly if you need designer frames or possess a prescription which requires specialty lenses. Luckily you will get prescription eyeglasses online at good costs, and all that you need is the prescription, some dimensions and time to select the right pair. Our reviews of the best online eyeglasses services online identify the stores that offer all the frame and lens choices you're seeking. Whenever you need new eyewear, exploring glasses specsfair is a good way to save money.
Below are a few significant characteristics to consider when selecting the next pair of glasses from an online eyeglasses store. A good place to begin with online eyewear is with the frames. There are various frame available options, and most online eyeglasses stores offer designer frames for males, females, and kids. An extensive range of choices helps you get the best frames possible. Reading glasses, sunglasses and goggles also are generally accessible, and several online eyewear stores provide a virtual attempt-on gadget that allows you upload a picture of your face to see what you'd look like with the frames.
You'd like to find frames that fit your fashion since these serve as a type of photo frame for the eyes. Look for online stores with a big selection of style options. Check for stores that permit you to search for particular frame fashions like retro, classic, sporty and vintage. This may assist you in finding a pair of stylish frames that fit your personality. While frames give you added fashion and dash, purchasing quality, durable lenses is important since, in the end, that's the purpose of eyeglasses. Try to find an eyeglasses supplier which provides the best number of lens materials, like high index plastic, polycarbonate or photochromic, lenses that automatically correct their tint dependent on the quantity of sunshine present.
Specsfair.com online glasses store offers typical lens types like single vision, progressives, bifocals and trifocals. Shipping, how rapidly do you require your new pair of glasses? Even when you order glasses from your own local optometrist, you've to wait at least a week for them to be tailor made and shipped. Help & Support best online glasses companies provide effective customer support representatives prepared to guide you through the concerns you have. Having the ability to contact an on-line eyeglasses store by telephone or e-mail is essential, and several companies provide live chat during business hours as well.

The public furor over sex offender recidivism continues to spill over into criminal and civil systems in states that have adopted "Hendricks" type sexual predator statutes as well as those that have not. This spillover creates significant role problems for treatment providers who work with patients on probation or parole.
I would like to explore some of the role conflicts under discussion in Connecticut, since I believe the issues are not confined to our state alone. Connecticut has not adopted a civil commitment statute for "sexual predators". Sex offender treatment is currently being provided by a small number of private non-profit agencies that work under contract to the State. They provide services to sex offenders when they are released into the community on parole, probation, or at the end of their penal sentences. As part of their program, some of these agencies have probation officers attend treatment groups and even serve as co-treaters. The treatment agencies feel that this alliance with the probation department is an important part of their program. This system raises important ethical questions.
Probation officers, in this context, are analogous to social workers that investigate child abuse reports mandated by reporting statutes. Social workers assigned to perform these investigations would like to be viewed as helpful by their clients. They often see themselves as working toward the maintenance of intact families, where possible. The individuals who are investigated, however, usually see these investigations as threatening and as part of the police arm of the state, since the consequences of the investigation may result in criminal charges and/or loss of custody of their children.
Probation officers have some discretion as to when they file for a violation of probation charge, but typically they view themselves as extensions of the criminal justice system, such that if they hear of new crimes being disclosed they feel an obligation to bring that to the attention of the police or state's attorney. This can have a chilling effect on disclosures during group therapy and thus undermine the program. In my view, while I see an important role for probation officers as an adjunct to treatment programs, with their ability to have control over the intensity of monitoring and supervision, I see their attendance in therapy sessions as co-treaters or even observers as inappropriate, in that it presents a significant role conflict.
"In this case, however, the central and indispensable feature of the policy from its inception was the use of law enforcement to coerce the patients into substance abuse treatment. This fact distinguishes this case from circumstances in which physicians or psychologists, in the course of ordinary medical procedures aimed at helping the patient herself, come across information that under rules of law or ethics is subject to reporting requirements, which no one has challenged here." (e.g. child abuse or gunshot wound reporting)
"Moreover, throughout the development and application of the policy, the Charleston prosecutors and police were extensively involved in the day-to-day administration of the policy. Police and prosecutors decided who would receive the reports of positive drug screens and what information would be included with those reports. Law enforcement officials also helped determine the procedures to be followed when performing the screens. In the course of the policy's administration, they had access to Nurse Brown's medical files on the women who tested positive, routinely attended the substance abuse team's meetings, and regularly received copies of team documents discussing the women's progress. Police took pains to coordinate the timing and circumstances of the arrests with the MUSC staff, and, in particular, Nurse Brown."
The Court held that: "A state hospital's performance of a diagnostic test to obtain evidence of a patient's criminal conduct for law enforcement purposes is an unreasonable search if the patient has not consented to the procedure. The interest in using the threat of criminal sanctions to deter pregnant women from using cocaine cannot justify a departure from the general rule that an official nonconsensual search is unconstitutional if not authorized by a valid warrant."
This holding emphasizes the need for care in thinking through role relationships when the criminal justice system becomes entwined with treatment programs.
We have many models of ethically and legally acceptable collaborations that have been derived from the addiction treatment programs. Generally, such programs report to probation officers whether or not the patient is in "good standing" in treatment and may recommend increases in supervision when appropriate. "Good standing" definitions are made explicit for patients so that they understand when and what kind of disclosures will be made, e.g. three dirty urines within some specified time frame.
Relapses are an expectable part of both mental health and dual diagnosis treatment. To prevent those who are in treatment under criminal justice auspices from being automatically sent off to jail, it is essential to create a system of graduated sanctions and security. Thus a person unable to refrain from controlling their impulses while in an outpatient setting should have a residential or other appropriate level of care available as soon as his treaters are aware of the problem. Judges and other decision makers should be educated on issues related to relapse to dispel the perception that relapse necessarily equates with treatment failure. Of course the problem with sex offenders is that for most types of offenses, any recidivism may be unacceptable for some groups. The literature suggests, for example, that exhibitionists frequently relapse during the first six months of treatment and that such relapses do not portend a bad outcome. At what point limits are set, and when increased supervision, hospitalization, or reincarceration become appropriate responses are complicated issues. As such, they may need collaborative discussions (or policy development) between treatment providers and those responsible for law enforcement. In states with sexual predator civil commitment statutes, "offenders/patients" may have more stringent guidelines, similar to insanity acquittees. Yet the role issues are important for mental health professional to maintain in an era that is misusing treatment providers. Both supervisory and treatment roles are necessary and important, but boundaries need to be clarified and maintained to protect the integrity of each professional group.

Giant tech companies are going to go after "unbelievable acquisition opportunities," according to Goldman Sachs' president Gary Cohn.
In a recent Q&A with The Information's Jessica Lessin, Cohn said "anything under $10 billion" could become an acquisition target.
He said that when companies' multiples are based on eyeballs, or users, they can't be acquired by companies whose multiples are based on earnings, because "it's too dilutive."
That is changing.
"One of the tell-tale signs that we're getting close to the bottom will be a big deal-$20, $30, $40 billion," Cohn told Lessin. "If a company can pull it off and their stock isn't penalized, we'll know the valuation multiple for the market."
Private tech companies that have reached the coveted billion-dollar "unicorn" status have been struggling to raise capital.
Cohn said that next what happens is "the bigger get bigger."
In other words, a shakeout is coming that will determine which tech companies will survive and which are destined to fail.
Speaking in Davos in January, Cohn said, "the marketplace will separate the winners from the losers. They will fund the winners more efficiently than they'll fund the companies whose business model is less secure."
He said that Goldman Sachs views the funding slowdown as "a great opportunity" for the firm.
"We'll go out and raise capital for them," he said.
Cohn said on a recent podcast that he's seen a change in Silicon Valley in the past three or four months, where many companies are shifting their focus from growth to the bottom line and revenue creation.
"It's actually a positive thing," he said.

It was a hero's welcome when hundreds of people poured onto Skegness beach on a cold but sunny January day to see the RNLI's new state-of-the-art lifeboat.
Our live coverage reached more than 270,000 people on social media from as far away as South Florida, who sent emotional messages to the brave volunteer crew who would be undergoing challenging training in the months ahead to keep our shores safe.
Among the messages was one from Jackie Renshaw, of Kirkby in Ashfield, who said: "Well needed and an amazing addition for Skegness RNLI. X heroes in my eyes."
But, none on the messages were more emotional than the words of stalwart fundraiser April Grunnill, cousin of RNLI volunteer Joel Grunnill whose legacy made the arrival of the £2.2 million Shannon class lifeboat a reality.
"What a wonderful day! I was so proud to see our lifeboat arriving home in Skegness, she said. "I first saw her in Poole, at the RNLI headquarters, and felt very emotional the first time I saw our names on the side of the lifeboat, but today I just tried to enjoy the occasion. I couldn't believe the number of people on the beach waiting to see her arrive – I was so thrilled to see that it meant so much to people in Skegness."
Since that memorable day on Saturday, January 28, last year there have been 45 training launches – a sign of the commitment and dedication shown by the volunteer crew to training on the new boat and its advanced systems, compared with the station's Mersey class lifeboat
This increased training regime of 150 hours is necessary to keep skills as sharp as possible, and doesn't include launches.
"2017 has been a year that saw big challenges in terms of both commitment to continued training on the station's new Shannon class lifeboat and a busy year of service launches," said Coxwain Richard Watson.
"This bar has been raised by all of the station's volunteers, and it's been fantastic to be part of the dedication and drive that they've all shown. This includes seagoing crew, shore crew and volunteer fundraisers. It has been fantastic team effort.
"With the introduction of vessels like the Shannon into service, demands on volunteers are very high and will continue to be intense, I'm really blown away by the commitment of all involved.
Mr Watson also paid tribute to the community and Tesco for their continued support - including two of the most recent fundraising efforts of £4,469.43 from Lace Housing and a Skegness Triathlon club presentation of £7,500.
He said: "We've always been very fortunate to have a huge swell of support from the local community, and this year has continued in the same vein with a sensational response from local groups and individuals.
"The RNLI relies solely on donations in order to exist and the support we receive from everyone is truly humbling, whether its donations of time, of money or just kind comments, they all keep us saving lives at sea, Thank you all very much."
l A recruitment drive is soon to be launched for both shore crew, fundraisers and sea going volunteers. Anyone interested can apply online at http://www.rnliskegness.org.uk/news/612/want+to+be+an+rnli+volunteer%3f/

How to Set up Ethernet
Explore this Article Connecting to the Router Configuring Ethernet Settings on Windows Configuring Ethernet Settings on Mac Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles
wikiHow's Content Management Team carefully monitors the work from our editorial staff to ensure that each article meets our high quality standards. Learn more...
This wikiHow teaches you how to connect your computer directly to an internet router using an Ethernet cable, as well as how to set up your Ethernet settings on Windows and Mac.
Connecting to the Router
1Acquire an Ethernet cable. Ethernet cables, also known as RJ-45, CAT5, or CAT6 cables, have a square plug on each end. You'll use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to your router.
- The cable connecting your modem and your router is an Ethernet cable, but don't use that one, as it is important where it is.
2Make sure your router is online. Your router should be connected to your modem, which should be connected to a Cable or Ethernet port in your wall, and you should see a constant light on the front of the router and/or modem.
- If you just have a modem, simply make sure that it's attached to the Cable or Ethernet port in your wall.
3Locate Ethernet ports on your computer and router. Ethernet ports are square, and they usually have an icon depicting a series of connected boxes near them.
- On your router, Ethernet ports will typically say "LAN" (Local Area Network) above them.
- If you're just connecting to a modem, the port you need will usually say "Internet" or "WAN" above it.
4Plug your Ethernet cable into your computer and your router. As long as your router is online, doing so will connect your computer to the Internet almost immediately.
Configuring Ethernet Settings on Windows
1Open the Start menu. To do so, either click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen, or press the ⊞ Win key.
2Click ⚙. It's in the bottom-left side of the Start window.
3Click Network & Internet. It's in the top row of options here.
4Click Ethernet. This option is on the left side of the window.
5Verify that the Ethernet is working. You should see your Internet's network name at the top of this page with "Connected" written below it; this indicates that your Ethernet connection is live.
- If your Ethernet isn't working, try using a different port on the router or a different Ethernet cable.
Configuring Ethernet Settings on Mac
1Open the Apple Menu. To do so, click the apple-shaped icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
2Click System Preferences. You'll see this option in the Apple Menu drop-down window.
3Click Network. This will open the Network window.
4Select the "Ethernet" connection. It's in the left-hand pane.
5Click Advanced. It's in the lower-right area of the window.
6Click the TCP/IP tab. This tab is near the top of the Advanced window.
7Make sure the "Configure IPv4" box says "Using DHCP". If it doesn't, click the box to the right of "Configure IPv4" at the top of the screen and select Using DHCP.
8Click Renew DHCP Lease. It's on the right side of the page. This will ensure that you're able to access the Internet while connected to Ethernet.
9Click OK. It's in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Your Ethernet connection should now be live.
Community Q&A
QuestionMy computer automatically uses wireless. How can I change it to use ethernet?Community AnswerIf you plug in an ethernet cable, your computer should automatically pick up on that. You can also disable WiFi by just selecting Off under WiFi (depending on your computer).
QuestionHow do I find my router password?Community AnswerIf you haven't changed it, it'll be stuck to the base of your router, or may be on a little slide out card.
QuestionWill I have a better internet connection with an ethernet cable if I use my PC right next to the router?Community AnswerBecause it is a wired connection, any reasonable distance (under a mile) should not affect signal strength.
QuestionWhat if I don't have a square port on my computer for Ethernet?Community AnswerYou can purchase and install an Ethernet card internally (or use a USB Ethernet adapter) or use a wireless connection.
I have an Asus Z87M Plus desktop computer with Windows 10. An ethernet cable is attached, but the word 'ethernet' does not appear in the network settings dialog. What do I do?
How can I change my router password on Windows if I don't know it?
How do I hook up Roku to my smart TV?
How is the Reset Initialization button used when setting up ethernet?
What do I do if I don't have a valid IP configuration when setting up my ethernet?
- You can use a USB-C-to-Ethernet converter to connect to Ethernet on Macs that don't have Ethernet ports.
- If you're going to use Ethernet as a primary connection type, make sure you set it up in an area in which you plan to keep your computer.
Article SummaryX
To set up an Ethernet connection, start by getting an Ethernet cable that you can connect to your computer and router. Next, make sure your router is connected to your modem and that the router's "online" light is on. Then, locate the Ethernet port on your computer, which is typically a square port with an icon showing a series of boxes, and on the router, which will be marked by "LAN." Finally, plug the Ethernet cable into your router and computer. To learn how to set up Ethernet on your PC, keep reading!

-- like today --
when I roll over, exhausted, exasperated
after swimming through heavy dreams
thick with emotion that's overflowed
from long days
And I linger here, sitting in it.
I am weak.
I am flesh
and I am blood.
And I dip deep into my own fears,
I wade in worry, the gripping kind
that paralyzes me into shallow
as though one deep breathe
from my lungs could
trigger a tsunami in my heart.
I am the rich man
who is not willing to give up
what he wants
in exchange for what he
so desperately needs.
I am the thief in the night
robbing my own house.
And in a moment of grace
whispered in the hallways
of my mind,
I am the the young boy's father,
exclaiming through tears
"I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
And in my cries,
my heart pleas
to save me from the water
in which I wade too deeply,
to save me from myself,
I am me,
He is still good,
I choose joy.

Rainy days always have a special charm that can make a photograph have a unique atmosphere. While it is also a good time to sit and stare out the window at the world outside, it is also a perfect moment to search for unusual nature subjects. Rainy day nature photography is just a made up theme I created after chasing waterfalls up a wild valley in the mountains of Romania. I then realized how the wet ambiance gives these images a depth that cannot be found by other means. I always dreamed of being able to capture unknown little corners of nature, scenes that tell a story about a place and a moment. As the feeble rain continued to pour for the three hours we explored the mesmerizing valley, we discovered that the snow melting in the mountains had created stunning waterfalls.
These were flowing down old paths through the ridge forests and over mossy rocks, finally reaching the already raging river below. The unique spectacle can only be admired during the spring snow melt or during long rains. We were lucky to be visiting the area at probably the right time to create some nice rainy days nature photography moments. While it took some effort to get to some of the higher areas up the ridges, it was all worth the trouble, as we got to admire rare and unforgettable corners of nature. This valley is located in the north of Gorj County in Romania, although one could probably find similar fleeting waterfalls on other wild mountain valleys. The first signs of springs made for a touching discovery, as the earlier sunny days had withered away most of the snow.
Although not as important, the equipment I used include Nikon D810 with Nikon and Sigma lenses, a Manfrotto Befree Travel Tripod and a Hoya ND filter (I got the ND200 – 7 2/3 stops). Probably the most important piece is the filter, as it allows you to take long exposure photos during the day, perfect for a rainy day nature photography trip.

I have always been a huge fan of Meryl Streep…for so many reasons. Of course, her talent as an actor is nothing short of amazing but her graciousness and thoughtfulness as a human being is something which endears her even more to me.
Her recent Oscar acceptance speech is a wonderful example as is the fact that she just made large donations to two Charities of her friend and fellow Oscar contender, Viola Davis.
(And by the way, she also joined the Green Carpet Challenge by wearing Lanvin's first ever custom made eco gown. The gown is gold, full-length and made from Eco Certified Fabric.)
But Meryl Streep is also something else to me…she is my "Local Hero".
As many of our readers know, Meryl has a country home in nearby Connecticut. Unlike some celebrities, she is described as funny, unassuming, unpretentious and is well-loved not only by her fans around the world but by her local neighbors as well. She shops in our local stores; eats in our local restaurants; hires local caterers; she is a member of our local CSA, Sol Flower Farms and buys organic meat from Herondale Farm. She is a community-minded and thoughtful neighbor and something else you may not know — she has been an environmental health activist since the late 1980's.
I recently read an interview with Meryl Streep by Wendy Gordon (a well-known pioneer of the green consumer movement) on the website, Maria's Farm Country Kitchen. Wendy has known Meryl for many years. They met in 1988 when, after learning about the ozone hole over Australia while working on the film A Cry in the Dark, Meryl wanted to get involved with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and to help raise awareness about environmental issues.
At the time, NRDC scientists were working on a report about weaknesses in the regulation of pesticides used in food production. The report, released in March 1989, became known as the Alar Report (after the growth regulator used on apples), and Alar in turn became the symbol for lax regulations of toxic pesticides that could be found in and on common fruits and vegetables. Meryl and I worked together to create Mothers & Others, a campaign that rallied concerned citizens who supported NRDC in the fight for tougher pesticide residue standards, standards that—thanks to a law passed 10 years later—would protect particularly vulnerable subpopulations such as infants and young children.
We went on to turn the Mothers & Others campaign into an organization by the same name. The organization's mission was to arm consumers with information they could take into the marketplace and into the halls of government to demand safer products and smarter, more sustainable production practices on the part of industry. We encouraged stores to stock organic products, and shoppers to support farmer's markets and CSAs [Community-Supported Agriculture]. We distributed lists of rBGH-free milk and safer food and beverage storage containers. We published dozens of product reports on everything from paints and wood finishes to personal care products, home furnishings, and children's toys. Mothers & Others was transformational, using the power of the concerned consumer to change the marketplace, everything from the way we grow our food to the way we make our stuff. And Meryl was a transformative leader in the environmental health and green consumer movements. She connected the dots for people, brought it home, made it personal. — Wendy Gordon
Here is part of Wendy's interview. You can read the entire article by clicking here.
WG: Thinking back, what first drew you in to environmental health issues?
MS: Humans are very self-interested, I became interested in all these things when I was feeding a baby and had a sense that everything you do is going to have an outcome further down the road. So I was very conscious to try to do the right thing and do well by our kids. Being naturally sort of slovenly, I had to sit up and pay attention, because I really think about my work most of the time, and I love that. When kids came into the picture, everything I read made me think, "Yes, you are right, you are right," and everything we know now about the developing brain, young children, the first things even in utero that you introduce into their little fragile developing systems will bear an outcome later on.
WG: What would you advise people to be mindful of today?
MS: The shopping. Before you take your food home, you need to consider where it comes from. It's about being a careful consumer, the thoughtfulness applied to every decision. The idea that your food budget is a really important thing, maybe as important as your cable budget. Maybe you don't need 20 channels of ESPN. Maybe you spend less over here so you can spend more on healthier, safer foods. Some foods may be more expensive, but they're cheaper in the long run. It's all about the long run, in my view.
WG: Do you buy mostly organic? Local?
MS: Yes. I buy organic, though not everything. I buy local mostly. I live in the city. I go to the farmer's market. I do shop at Whole Foods, but I shop at my local Food Emporium, which carries a lot of things it didn't used to, which is sort of wonderful. I remember back in the olden days when I had to drive 45 minutes for just apples that were not sprayed.
WG: Didn't you help set up a CSA when you were living in Connecticut?
MS: We set up a CSA, and a food co-op and all those things. We still have a food co-op up there, but the food that we want is pretty much available. The farmers are growing it; they've been encouraged by the market, there's been more attention paid.
WG: Do you pay attention to the meat you eat? Do you eat meat? Does it matter whether it's organic or grass-fed?
MS: I pay attention to everything, Wendy. Yes, I eat meat. I really like meat. I eat much less of it, though. I try to get grass-fed, organic beef; the bison burgers I like' some of those are good. All the sourcing questions that I've been trained by Mothers & Others back in the '90s to pay attention to, I pay attention to all that.
WG: And as for what you've taught your children?
MS: Mothering is full of boring things, full of things that you say that they remember— only, 20 years later. You see it now with my own kids; all they wanted was Fruit Loops and crap, but they don't want that now. Information went in somehow, even though on their face in the moment they were going, "I hate you." It comes back later. You just have to have faith that it will. You know, for me it was keeping them home if they were sick. It's about the simple stuff, the basics: teaching them to use their imagination rather than play a video game, teaching them to go outside, showing them where the door is.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Thank you, Meryl, for doing the right thing and being what Vogue Magazine called "a force of nature". Your roles as eco-activist, supporter of women's rights, mother and good neighbor are as compelling to me as any of your screen roles.

Applying for a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) fellowship involves demonstrating to the admissions committee that you have the proper business acumen to succeed in an MBA program or internship. You should also be prepared to show that you have significant financial need for MBA fellowship funds. Types of fellowships may include those that are used for graduate school admissions, funds for summer internships, or funds for study abroad experiences.
You often need to make good grades in relevant business courses in order to secure an MBA fellowship. These fellowships are usually quite competitive. The students with the highest grades and most impressive student research are typically able to positively influence fellowship admissions committees. You should continue to study hard and dedicate yourself to those courses that are relevant to getting a business fellowship, such as statistics, economics, and accounting. If your grades are low in these courses, working with a tutor or seeking remedial help as soon as possible can improve your scores.
If the type of MBA fellowship that you are seeking to get is tied with admissions into a particular graduate business school, then you will also need to make sure that you score high on graduate admissions exams. These exams, such as the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT®), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE®) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®), are challenging and designed to separate outstanding candidates from average candidates. More likely than not, fellowship admissions officials will use your admissions exams test scores as benchmarks for how well you will do in their MBA program and how deserving you are of a fellowship.
When it comes to summer internships or study abroad programs, MBA fellowship committees will want to know how the fellowship funds will benefit you as a student. You will need to prove that the internship or study abroad experience will contribute to your understanding of business principles. A statement explaining your goals for the program and how you intend to use the fellowship money is important to include.
Whether you are seeking fellowship funds for admissions or for special programs, it is often necessary that you demonstrate some financial need for the fellowship. Explain to the fellowship committee why you would be hard pressed to finance your education, internship, or special program with your own money. Find out whether the fellowship you are applying for is more need-based or merit-based.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Some 10,000 people from the majority Shi'ite community in the Gulf Arab state took to the streets of the town of Aali, chanting slogans that were taken from the inquiry led by international rights lawyer Cherif Bassiouni.
Bassiouni surprised Bahrainis and most observers with a hard-hitting report whose main points were read out in front of King Hamad and senior figures from the ruling Al Khalifa family on Wednesday.
The report found that there was no evidence of Iranian involvement in the protests which swept Bahrain in February, threatening the Al Khalifa family's tight grip on power.
The mourners were burying the body of a man who died after a police vehicle smashed into his car on Tuesday 22 November.
After the funeral, youths moved rubbish bins into the middle of roads in anticipation of police cars chasing them.
An interior ministry statement said police reacted to youths throwing stones and firebombs at them in an illegal protest.
Bassiouni's inquiry said nearly 3,000 people were arrested and 4,000 lost their jobs after the government invited in Saudi and UAE troops and introduced martial law to end the protests.
It stopped short of directing blame at specific officials or suggesting government bodies implemented specific policies of abuse during the crackdown, which focused on those who had taken part in the protests but extended to Shi'ites generally.

World's 20 Best Surf Spots
A bit of a surf fanatic? Good. Because we have an excellent list of twenty best surf spots from around the world. Get ready to update your bucket list!
Banzai Pipeline, Oahu, Hawaii
You need to be a little bit of a daredevil to want to tackle the famous waves at the Banzai Pipeline, but diehard surf enthusiasts say it's worth it. The Pipeline (or simply Pipe) is one of the most famous surf spots in the world, but also the deadliest one. Here waves easily reach 9 feet and sometimes get even bigger.
A large number of serious injuries and deaths have occurred at the Pipe, but the reef break has also propelled many surfers to fame. There are four different waves associated with the reef, each one posing different challenges and offering unique satisfactions. All you have to do is train very well and just pick your favorite Pipeline wave, or conquer them all one at a time!
Important surfing competitions that take place at the Pipe include Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic, Volcom Pipe Pro, Pipe Masters and IBA Pipeline Pro.
Supertubes, Jeffreys Bay, South Africa
Located southwest of Port Elizabeth in South Africa, Jeffreys Bay is a town in the Eastern Cape Province. The thing that it is most famous for is, you've guessed it, surfing. It is often referred to as J-bay, and what was once an isolated hippie hangout is now one of the country's fastest growing urban areas.
The name of the town is said to come from the first man who settled and opened a store here. Today most people come to this spot to experience the waves, because this is reportedly one of the top five best surf spots in the world. Every July professional surfers and their fans come to the Billabong Pro ASP World Tour event at Supertubes, which is actually the best part of the wave.
While the Supertubes section is surrounded by false myths, such as 5-minute long rides, when in fact they rarely last for longer than 2 minutes, there are also plenty of true rumors surrounding the spot. One of them is the fact that waves can break for over 300 meters (985 feet). Interestingly, J-bay was discovered only after a less consistent and fun nearby spot had been made famous in The Endless Summer surf movie of the '60s.
Teahupo'o, Tahiti, French Polynesia
Another deadly wave that is adored by surfers from around the world is Teahupo'o on Tahiti's south-west coast. If the "heaviest wave in the world" reference doesn't scare you off, then you might just find the adventure of your lifetime here.
Be sure that you are ready to handle the challenges of 7 to 10 foot (sometimes even 21 foot) heavy waves, with lips often as thick as their heights, combined with dangerously shallow shorelines. Here experience is a must and so is top physical condition. After all, the name of the place itself is not very encouraging, as it translates to "place of skulls" or "to sever he head".
The Billabong Pro Tahiti competition takes place here every year, as part of the World Championship Tour. Teahupo'o is a place of legend and experts say that it has raised the bar for the whole surfing world.
Uluwatu and Kuta, Bali, Indonesia
A perfect spot for beginner surfers, the smooth Kuta beach on the famous Bali Island attracts wave lovers from many different countries. It is a 3-mile long beach with no threatening corals or rocks, which makes it excellent for slightly more timid surfers. Popular all year round, Kuta is most attractive during its surf season that lasts from April to October.
Also on the same Indonesian island, at its southernmost point, the beloved Uluwatu reef awaits you. It has a number of sections, with the last one, known as The Peak, breaking in the front of a cave that is also the exit/entry point of Uluwatu surfing.
As a side note, you should also visit the Uluwatu Temple if you want to meet cheeky monkeys that often like to steal people's belongings and then bargain with them for fruit.
P-Pass, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia
The largest island in the Micronesia, Pohnpei is also the most developed state of the country. Here rain occurs almost every single day, but it is mostly a welcomed phenomenon, because of the really high temperature and humidity levels.
People come here for different reasons, one of which is surfing. After having been featured in various different surf magazines, people began to come to the island more often, which means that you might find yourself in the middle of a swarm of surfers. However, sometimes the island is really quiet and serene.
The best waves are only accessible by boat, but there are plenty of local people with boats who are accustomed to taking surfers out to sea. With sizes that vary between 2 and 8 feet, the P-Pass wave in Pohnpei is mostly appropriate for beginners and intermediate-level surfers. It is actually one of the friendliest surf spots in the world.
Mavericks, California
The risks that come with surfing the big waves at Mavericks represent a deterrent for many surfers and an irresistible attraction for others. The Californian spot is most famous for its crazy winter waves that can sometimes rise to 50+ feet.
Big wave surfers sometimes come here to sharpen their skills, but the hazardous conditions of Mavericks keep many experienced riders away. Very interestingly, an annual winter surfing contest is held here, but its organizational staff, name and date change every few years. Contestants need to be invited to participate, and they only find the dates of the event 24 hours before it actually takes place.
The select few need to pack their bags and get there within this short timeframe, because nature doesn't wait for anyone with humongous waves. Tens of thousands of spectators also come to see the adrenaline-inducing show, and they find out the date by visiting the official site of the contest. Right now the name of the event is Mavericks Invitational.
Soorts-Hossegor, France
Soorts-Hossegor is a nice commune in south-western France that is most famous for its surfing center. Its entire economy is actually based on this exciting sport, boasting world-class surf spots like La Nord and Gravière. There are also other nearby beach breaks that promise a really good time to wave lovers.
The Quiksilver Pro France contest is held here annually in September as part of the ASP World Surfing Tour. Hossegor is also an excellent place for beginners, who can enjoy customized surf lessons from pros.
Puerto Escondido, Southern Oaxaca, Mexico
Arguably the best beach break in the world, Puerto Escondido boasts massive waves of high speed and force. Also known as the Mexican Pipeline, it breaks both left and right and can rise as high as 20+ feet.
The weather here is really hot and the water so warm that you might need to grab an ice-cold drink when you return to the beach, just to cool yourself down. Many boards get broken at Puerto Escondido, so be ready to have several more at hand.
Mexico's most popular surfing contest is held here annually and is called The Mexpipe Challenge. The first Quiksilver Pro event took place at Puerto Escondido in 2009.
Cloud Nine, Siargao Island, Philippines
Cloud 9 is a right-breaking reef wave that was discovered in the late '80s. It is a relatively affordable destination, with low food, drinks and accommodation prices. Siargao Island has a number of good surf spots, but Cloud 9 is the most famous of them all.
Named after a chocolate bar, the wave boasts thick hollow tubes. It is also the only one in the area that can be accessed without a boat. After being featured in Surfer magazine (US) in 1993, the spot gained popularity, and Siargao quickly became The Surfing Capital of the Philippines. The Siargao Cup annual competition is an exciting event that takes place here every year.
Lance's Right, Sipora, Mentawais Islands, Sumatera Barat, Indonesia
The Mentawai Islands in Indonesia are famous among surfers, boasting breaks that come very close to perfection. It is a place for the experienced, though, because underneath those exciting waves there are shallow reefs with sharp corals.
Here the water is warm and pleasant, the waves are consistent, and the views are stunning. It may take a little bit of effort to reach this amazing spot, but when you ride that powerful right tube you instantly forget about all the expenses and troubles you went through to reach it.
Trestles, Orange County, California
Another beloved Californian surf destination is Trestles in Orange County. It is a highly popular spot because of its consistent right and left hand waves. There are several good spots in the area, but the one with the best waves is Lower Trestles. An annual ASP World Tour competition and the NSSA Nationals happen here.
Some experts believe that Lower Trestles allows for the best high-performance surfing experiences in the world, so if you are looking for amazing memories, California awaits you! Get ready for easy paddle-outs, long exciting rides, and loads of fun both on water and on land!
Sultans, North Male, Maldives
Looking for consistent waves that never close out? Sultans offers exactly that. You need a boat to reach this awesome spot in the Maldives, but there are plenty dhonis (local small boats) that regularly take surfers away at the rear of the breaks.
When spring comes, the fun starts! The surfing season lasts from March until October and the best and largest waves reportedly happen in the summer months.
The Maldives are the world's lowest country, with a maximum natural ground level of almost 8 feet. Interestingly, that's also how high you can expect some waves at North Male to be!
Rincon, Santa Barbara, California
What would Rincon say if it could talk? "I don't always break, but when I do, I'm the best break point in the whole of California!" Expect long and steep right hand waves here, as well as loads of fun. The spot is rightfully often referred to as the Queen of the Coast.
The best time to come here is in winter, when the tide is low and the excitement is high. Most of the Rincon beachfront is part of a gated residential community, but public access is also allowed at the two parking lots that flank the community.
The Annual Rincon Classic championship takes place here every January, but the exact date is always dictated by the weather conditions. Unfortunately for many surf enthusiasts, the championship is only open to area residents.
Honolua Bay, Maui, Hawaii
World-class rides and whale spotting directly from your board: that's what you can expect to experience at Honolua Bay. Unfortunately, the place is not exactly famous for hospitality, so it may be a little difficult to find the break if you're a first timer in the area.
Once you've found the right-hand point break, however, things become truly amazing. You should also appreciate the fact that you are in a precious marine preserve with beautiful coral reefs and spectacular vistas. The Billabong Pro women's surf competition is held here every year in December.
Manu Bay, Raglan, New Zealand
About 4 miles away from a beachside town called Raglan, Manu Bay entertains surfers on a regular basis. Also referred to as The Point, it reportedly boasts the world's most consistent and accessible left-hand breaks.
Surfers from around the world come here to catch perfect waves and enjoy rides that can last for 10 minutes over a distance of more than a mile. The spot was made famous in "The Endless Summer" film of the '60s, and it was also more recently featured in the 2010 Last Paradise. As it is with all excellent surf spots, Manu Bay is home to a number of international surfing competitions which gather numerous enthusiasts every year.
Montañita Beach, Montanita, Ecuador
The small village of Montañita in Ecuador is famous for its relaxed, liberal and multicultural atmosphere. It is a relatively recently discovered paradise with mountain natural reserves, lovely villages, amazing beaches and yes, world-class surfing.
What started out as an isolated beach with only several rustic homes gradually developed into a colorful community of free-spirited people and welcoming restaurants, cafes, bars and accommodation facilities for tourists. It is a surf heaven for both beginners and experts.
The Montañita Beach break can be ridden all year round, but the most fun happens between December and May. Once you've had enough fun on those right-hand waves, you can head back to the beach, where the super-friendly community is always ready to have fun in various after-surf events.
Jaws, Maui, Hawaii
The name itself should warn you about the nature of this point. It's definitely awesome, but also quite deadly. Jaws is a place for the bold, with its winter waves sometimes soaring to 88 feet! They obviously have huge barrels to flaunt, but keep in mind that the dangers are just as big.
Jaws is Maui's most popular big wave reef break and a place of legend. It's where daredevils risk their lives to be featured onto the Surfer's Hall of Fame. If you are not ready to face the regular 40 to 70 foot winter waves of Jaws, you can just watch the pros go at it from the cliffs above.
The Box, Margaret River Valley, Australia
The Box is pretty dangerous, but like all dangerous breaks, it is also super rewarding. It's very easy to get completely hooked to this wave, but it's definitely not easy to actually ride it. It's a place for the pros only.
Even the best of surfers should know better than to venture into the Box when the conditions are not ideal. With a sharp and shallow reef, falling off can lead to really serious (or even deadly) injuries.
But all these aside, the wave is definitely one of the most exciting you'll ever ride. The transition from deep to shallow is short, resulting in a really powerful and short right-hand barrel. It's going to be a hard-core experience, but the satisfaction will be just as intense.
Superbank, Gold Coast, Australia
Superbank is the name of a man-made surf break, which resulted from the pumping of sand from Tweed River's mouth to the nearby beaches. The process started in 1995 and its purpose was only to stabilize coastal erosion and to make the river safe for shipping. A side result, however, was the formation of the Superbank break.
Sometimes the crowds get so big here that the 1.2-mile distance of the break is filled with as many as 200 surfers at a time. A very rare but super exciting experience is that of a continuous ride on a single wave from one end of the Superbank to the other. Even if you don't catch one wave all the way, you need to keep in mind that you'll have to make a 1.2-mile walk back to where you've parked your car.
Cloudbreak, Tavarua Island, Fiji
Tavarua is a stunning heart-shaped island in Fiji, surrounded by a beautiful coral reef. There are seven world-class surf breaks nearby, but the most important of all is Cloudbreak. The left-hand wave can be found a mile from the island resort, showing off incredible force.
This surf destination is for experts only. The brutal wave soars as high as 33 feet and lasts for up to 1,640 feet. The ride is amazing and the journey back to the island is always marked by a sense of accomplishment. Professional surfing competitions take place here every year and they can be watched via webcast.

M.L. Gardner is one of those writers who is generous to the core, providing guidance and community to thousands of us independently-published folks through her work. Today, I'm thrilled to have her talking about her books, her writing practice, and why she doesn't read book reviews.
1. Tell us about your book.
1929 Book One is about three couples during the great crash that led to the Great Depression. After watching our own stock market crash in 2008, I was inspired to write something to help people through the hard times ahead. What started out as nonfiction quickly morphed into not only a fiction work but a series.
The main theme of the book is friendship and sticking together during hard times. It's as true today as it was then.
2. What stories, themes, motivations do you find yourself drawn to in your work and in the works you read?
I stay mainly in the historical genre in both reading and writing. I also like a good dose of drama and moral conflict in what I read.
3. What do you do when you're not writing?
I'm caring for my four cats, canning, building furniture or dreaming of running away to my own homestead. [Note from Andi – Come on down to God's Whisper Farm, M.L. We'll share our homestead with you.]
4. What made you believe you could write a book? How did you dispel doubt as you wrote?
When I started I had no idea what I was doing or how challenging it could be. I'm glad I didn't know, or I might have quit. I learned as I wen,t and it never occurred to me that I'd fail because even if no one else read it, my best friend and I would always love it. To this day the inscription inside every book is "For Lisa"
5. Describe the first 2-3 steps of your process in writing your book.
A single idea will get the wheels turning. I try to come up with a one paragraph description for myself constituting a beginning, middle and end. Then, I sit down and expand that out with a scene breakdown. Books never follow the path I lay out exactly, but it's a good enough road map for me to get started and keep me (somewhat) on track.
6. How do you balance what will sell with what you want to say?
I let the book lead me where it wants to go. I don't advise writing for the market. Write from the heart.
7. What is your favorite part about being a writer?
Setting my own schedule and working when I feel like it. Sometimes that's fourteen hours a day. Sometimes I'll take a week off. I love the freedom.
8. What is your least favorite part about being a writer?
It's challenging to get what's in my head onto paper in a way that uploads properly to the readers mind. Writers are so deep in the forest that we can see everything around us. Picking and choosing the right words and details to share with the reader to give them the most accurate picture of what we see can be hard to discern.
9. When you write, who do you imagine as your reader?
Lisa. I wait for her review, her reaction. I have stage fright, even sitting alone at my desk. If I start thinking about what the general public will think, I freeze up. I have to keep it simple.
10. What are a few of your favorite books of all time?
I have recently fallen into a John Jakes series and love it. It quickly moved to number one even though I have only read the first two books of the Kent Family Chronicles.
11. What's the best writing advice you ever received?
Tell the story how it wants to be told. Not for market, fans or money. Always be true to the book, even if you think it won't be popular.
12. What's your philosophy and practice about reading reviews of your work?
I don't read them. Those are for other readers, and I don't invade that space. I used to, and I found it to be an emotional roller coaster.
