VSL Offers Vienna Dimension Strings – Cello Section
The Vienna Symphonic Library team is pleased to announce the release of the Cello Section of their magnum opus Vienna Dimension Strings. The section includes recordings of a six piece cello ensemble that has been captured with individual microphones for each instrument, allowing for precise access to each voice. Registered users of Vienna Dimension Strings may download the updated library portion from the User Area of the company's website. New users may benefit from a special Early Bird Offer.
Early Bird Offer
Customers who take advantage of the current Early Bird Offer will receive a full license of Vienna Dimension Strings for just US-$895 (instead of $1,430) and may download both the Violin and Cello Sections (Full Libraries) right away. They will receive the Viola and Double Bass Sections as they become available, free of charge. One week after the release of the Cello Section, the Early Bird Price of Vienna Dimension Strings will increase to $955 on July 1, 2013.
More than 200,000 Cello Samples
The new Cello Section adds more than 200,000 high-end samples to Vienna Dimension Strings, whose Violin Section has been available since fall 2012. Together, the two ensembles now exceed half a million samples, resulting in an estimated one million for the full library once the Viola and Double Bass Sections are included.
Ensemble Recordings with Six Players And Individual Miking
The Vienna Dimension Strings Cello Section consists of six players that have been recorded together as a homogenous group, but with individual microphones for each player. This way all of the human interactions and slight imperfections of a live performance have been captured while still allowing for an individual access to each player of the ensemble. Changes in dynamic levels, vibrato, intonation and the timing of the players within a group can be achieved easily by assigning individual controllers such as velocity crossfades and expression. Like the Violin Section of Vienna Dimension Strings, each string of each instrument has been captured in its full range and with ready-made presets, such as "force strings" or "use/avoid open strings", which allows users to easily create their customized cello ensemble sound. Advanced features such as pre-configured divisi sections with flexible groupings, e.g., 3 desks with 2 players each or 2 groups with 3 players each are provided when using the current version of the Vienna Instruments PRO player.
Unprecedented Variety of Articulations
The Vienna Dimension Strings Cello Section comes with the same variety of articulations as the existing Violin Section. Three different sustains (non-vibrato, vibrato, and progressive vibrato) that are fully controllable via crossfades, Legato, Portamento and Trill Performances, Repetition Performances (legato, portato, staccato, spiccato, various crescendos and "harsh" fortissimos), various tremolos (normal, slow, and with fast attack), pizzicato, snap pizzicato, col legno and more. Finger noises (sounds, obtained from shifting positions on the fingerboard) as well as ambient noises (such as breathing, positioning of the instrument, chair noises, browsing of sheet music) complete the wide range of articulations, resulting in an even more realistic sonic impression, particularly in quiet musical passages.
About the Vienna Symphonic Library
The Vienna Symphonic Library is an innovative, research-driven music software and sample library developer based in Vienna, Austria. The team continually strives to improve virtual orchestral music production with a special emphasis on authenticity and ease-of-use.

What do participants say?
" I experienced this training as groundbreaking. What was obvious for me every time changed to new points of view … "
Wim van den Brink, owner origineering.nl, socratic dialogue facilitator
The training was an enlightment for me. We often jump very quickly to conclusions or answers and spend too little time asking questions. Questions that go to the essence and that enable us to arrive at correct answers. This has to do with active listening. In the world of fast conclusions, volatile claims it is important that such organizations exist that keep the ideas of Socrates alive to apply this in politics, business and society. It is more than "useful" . It is essential.The philosophical background of Kristof Van Rossem herein is an important added value.

Lancaster City Hall
44933 N. Fern Avenue
Lancaster CA 93534
cityoflancasterca.org destinationlancasterca.org lancasterchoiceenergy.com theblvdlancaster.com
Innovative, Industrious, Entrepreneurial
Twice named LA County's Most Business-Friendly City, Lancaster, the region's largest municipality, offers growing firms the opportunity to fast-track creation or expansion of their Southern California presence at surprisingly affordable costs. Home to many well-established Fortune 500 names as well as a growing list of Global 500 firms, Lancaster is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, particularly in the realm of renewable energy solutions. BYD, the Chinese-based, electric vehicle and battery maker has established their first North American assembly plants here, where they build clean, all-electric transit buses along with the power cells which drive them. eSolar, an IdeaLab offshoot backed by both General Electric and Google, has developed its innovative Sierra Tower concentrating solar thermal power generation facility in Lancaster and now sells clean power to SoCal Edison. Nearby, MidAmerican Solar, a Berkshire-Hathaway company, is creating a 3,200 acre solar farm which will produce enough electricity to power a quarter of a million homes.
Lancaster vigorously competes by training residents for tomorrow's jobs, by keeping costs down and by supporting its start-up sector.
City leaders have set the ambitious goal of becoming the nation's first Net-Zero municipality, wherein they will produce more clean energy than they consume. Much of the City's infrastructure including City Hall, local schools and even their minor league baseball stadium are solar powered. All new, residential construction must include a solar component. But clean, renewable energy isn't the City's only claim to fame. Precision production facilities such as Morton Manufacturing have moved to Lancaster to take advantage of lower costs and abundant skilled labor. Lance, the nation's preeminent builder of truck-based campers and now trailers, has made Lancaster their home for more than 20 years. Rite-Aid, Michaels Stores, and SYGMA, part of Sysco, all operate large distribution facilities within the city and find the location ideal to service stores throughout the Western U.S. Retail has seen a major resurgence in Lancaster since the downtown core underwent a multi-million dollar transformation. This new, pedestrian-friendly arts and commerce district, known as The BLVD, is home to many bistros, boutiques, wine bars and micro-breweries. It also hosts Lancaster's award-winning Museum of Art and History (MOAH) and Lancaster's Performing Arts Center, where both local groups and world-renowned guest artists perform.

Reasonable Questions Deserving Of Reasonable Answers...
Questions asked by Megyn Kelly are legitimate and are not only deserving of answers they must be answered. Division is only increased when the legitimate concerns of people are ignored and treated as if they do not matter. Concern is a two way street, however some apparently fail to acknowledge this simple fact.
Read the transcript of remarks .
36 comments:
Given the national attention that her killing has garnered, it would seem prudent that the White House address the issue. Avoiding the question just puts a brighter spotlight on them. Perhaps they are betting on the short attention span of the American people.ReplyDeleteReplies
Perhaps they are betting on the short attention span Jerry. Foolish if that be the case.Delete
Of course the issue goes much deeper than the loss of one young beautiful white woman shot to death by a deported 5 times illegal alien.
It is a symbol of America's failed policy on immigration; one which both parties bear responsibility.
But this singular death has now become a symbol of whay MANY perceive is Obama's attitude toward whites. Likely untrue but Obama's failure to show proper respect publicly on this is fueling the perception he us a divisive president that cares only for people of color.
It was, simply put a mistake.
Obama would be smart to avoid this sensationalism completely. He doesn't have to bet on attention spans or anything like that. He doesn't owe anyone any answers, especially the likes of the silly bimbos on FOX News with their silly "news."ReplyDelete
Well Jersey; you are technically correct. He does not have to do a GD thing. As president he certainly does not have to share the emotions most feel over this senseless and preventable murder of a beautiful innocent WHITE women by a Mexican thug and ILLEGAL alien. As president on high he owes nothing. I get it.Delete
BTW, your characterizing Megan Kelly, an educated women and attorney as a silly bimbo is OFFENSIVE as well as childish. It puts you on poo ar wuth Rusty Shackleford, Radical Redneck, FreeThinke, and others of their ilk on the conservative boards.
Further your remark stands squarely on callousness and nothing else.
Les, we just see this very differently. Megyn Kelly is the very worst sort of Jaundiced Journalist. I'll give her some kudos for the way she schooled Karl Rove back during the 2012 elections, so for that I'll give her a quarter-star for a grand total of one quarter of a star, and that's it.Delete
The reasons the President should avoid this is that it is beneath him to engage in this sort of sleazy hate-mongering and he is certainly not to blame. This one murder is terribly sad, but it's not his fault or the fault of any policy of his, period. Anyone who thinks otherwise is blithely ignorant of the subject.
Yep, we do see it differently Jersey. It's okay to hate and kill if you're brown and illegal. If you're while and this disgusts you your are a racist and a bigot.Delete
Yeah Jersey we do see it differently.
I didn't see Jersey making any such separation, Les...Delete
Les, I never meant to say that! All I'm saying is this not something the President should get involved with. As well, illegal immigrants commit less crime than US citizens. And while it may be true this one crime may have been avoidable, no one can blame Obama for our immigration mess.Delete
I actually agree with Jersey's response. The President is not a Great Father or Dear Leader upon whom we must wait for word from on high on all issues so we know what we should think.ReplyDelete
....Until Jersey got very sexist at the end, as RN pointed out. And as always the Left seems hypocritical when it comes to "nooz": embracing the noozsters on its own side, who do the same thing as Fox with the only difference that they do so for left/Democratic causes. It's an intellectual failing to be rah-rah or a "fan" of nooz from either Fox or MSNBC.Replies
Leadership encompasses a broad spectrum. I'm sure it also means many things to different people. Especially when it's politically charged.Delete
Ignore some lavish attn on others.
There's nothing sexist about what I said about that little shrew. She obviously uses her sex appeal to her advantage, so if I mock her for it, well, she opened the door. Sleazy FOX News BIMBO.Delete
Oh, you mean like Obama uses his rock star appeal. Now I get it.Delete
You're too much Jersey.
And calling an educated, intelligent, and articulate woman a bimbo is in fact sexist.
I completely agree with you on the last part, Les. What Jersey did was no different than calling Obama one of the disparaging terms for African-American found on the following page:Delete
It is possible to criticize Kelly without going over the line.
Besides, the issue is much more whether or not the President needs to address this issue than whatever personal problem Jersey has with the reporter's gender.
Les, that woman is a psychopath. I'm sorry that eludes you. And calling out that bimbo parade on FOX does not make me sexist. It means my IQ is higher than my libido.Delete
Whatevah Jersey. Your backhanded insult is so noted.Delete
It wasn't a backhanded insult. It was a humorous way to point out that sometimes we get a little blinded, if ya' know what I mean.Delete
Not sure what the president could say, given that the drug-addled persistent immigrant picked up aReplyDelete
gun belonging to some federal agent, the local sheriff and Homeland Security arguing over whose fault he was loose. It is one of a number of sad cases, 341 deaths by firearms since the beginning of July. -including a five year old girl that lived next to a young girl that is a 'Little Sister' to my daughter
in Topeka. We may suppose it is a legitimate question, rather than just more poking at the administration, but my question to Megan is should the president explain each of the 341 people
gunned down? Should he address guns? NRA? Should he explain that we have constructed a
free-fire zone in the entire country? Or should we blame old flags and immigrants?Replies
He must show leadership. Which means all of the above.Delete
In addition he must show compassion, this was a high profile incident, use it as a healing teaching opportunity.
Illegal immigration must be addressed
and an effective method and monitoring and control must be put in place.
BTW, none of those agencies or the firearm she stole killed the young women. He did when he pulled the trigger. He has no respect for human life. He gave up his right to his.
But not to worry. Obama will soon be gone and thing will continue on as they always do.
Jerry is right. Americans have a short attention span.
"Should he explain that we have constructed aDelete
free-fire zone in the entire country?"
I don't think he can, BB. As such "free firing" behavior violates numerous laws everywhere you go in this country, I don't agree that we have constructed a "free fire zone".
Les, if he addresses this, he could also address the countless incidents of violent felons let out early who end up killing or assaulting others. The violent crimes committed by native born Americans exceed those committed by immigrants. There are failures of the criminal justice system at many levels.
BB-Idaho: "my question to Megan is should the president explain each of the 341 people gunned down [since the beginning of July]?"ReplyDelete
A perfectly reasonable question that goes to the center of this controversy -- one that should be looked at in terms of context and subtext.
The context and subtext of this case is the Devil's handiwork. A bellicose and narcissistic personality (Donald Trump) announces his candidacy for president. In his announcement speech, he gratuitously maligns and mischaracterizes an entire ethnic group as would-be criminals and rapists. Understandably, Mexican-Americans are outraged by Trump's remark. Within a matter of days, there is a murder in SF; the victim is a young woman; and the accused is a five-times-deported fugitive. The Panderer-for-President receives a windfall of incendiary talking points, and his poll numbers rise. Hence, the Devil's handiwork!
In the context and subtext of this murder, the actions of Megyn Kelly and Fox News were less than honorable -- their ignoble purpose being to further inflame public opinion along partisan lines and enable a Panderer-for-President. IOW, Megyn Kelly and Fox appear determined to repurpose this story into something else.
A random crime is not a hate crime; and a random crime should never serve as justification for inflammatory hate speech. Yet, appealing to a lynch-mob mentality appears to be the goal of Donald Trump, Megyn Kelly and Fox News. To his credit, President Obama refused to let himself fall sucker to this kind of vicious demagoguery.
I think the President has done enough demagoguery... the Henry Louis Gates Jr flap comes to mind. The less demagogue'ing, the better.ReplyDelete
Thank you dmarks. A fine point.ReplyDeleteReplies
No, it wasn't. Not at all. I think what we have here is a failure to see right and wrong, and facts. Obama and Gates happened to be personal friends in the first place, and Obama's remarks were extemporaneous, and really just plain right. The police state fans didn't like it, but I'm surprised to see any libertarian agreeing with them on this. Maybe you could say it looked like demagoguery after all that happened - the whole "beer summit" thing - but if kicking back, having a beer and a conciliatory conversation is demagoguery, than the world needs a whole lot more of it! But it's not.Delete
What FOX and their Beauty Queen Bimbo Parade is doing with stories like this and others is demagoguery. Period.
I have concerns of greater gravity to me personally than this trivia.Delete
Suffice to say I have zero patience
with this BS at this time. Your continued triteness has become offensive.
Jersey said:Delete
"Obama and Gates happened to be personal friends in the first place"
That makes it even worse. That not only would Obama be "demagoguing it up", but he would be doing so to help out one of his cronies. That is, pardon the expression, piss-poor Presidential leadership. Not good for a leader of all the nation. To justify this, Jersey, would imply you think that is is OK that a President use his power to bend the executive branch to help one of his buddies. And it is also an admission that this whole "beer summit" matter had nothing to do with any issue of national importance (as it would not have happened if Dr Gates wasn't one of his buddies). It was all personal. Like something a mafia godfather would do.
It's kind of off topic, divergent, yes, But Jersey, your defense of Obama made him look much worse. You'd best follow such examples as (O)ct's comment at "Sun Jul 12, 07:45:00 AM EDT". He expressed very strong opinions, and scourged FOX, and did so without bashing Kelley for her gender. It is possible, and it's not that hard, really.
Les, I hope your father is OK... Your having made a more recent post seems like you are back in the blog swing (the less important things) so maybe...?
In the aftermath of one of the most despicable hate crimes since the civil rights era, we don't need another ethnic group turned into a ritual scapegoat to arouse the wrath of angry lynch mobs. This kind of rabble-rousing behavior is the essence of pandering and demagoguery.ReplyDelete
Red meat politics has always been standard operating procedure for Donald Trump; and Fox News has always had the temerity to regard itself as the tail that wags the dog. Too bad this point about incendiary rhetoric was trivialized by a snide, off-topic and falsely equivalent non sequitur.
I am traveling back from NY to MA to see my father who was admitted to the hospital last night.Delete
In brief response to the above; there are those of us who can cut through the hyperbolic emotionally charged BS and recognize truth in as well as falsehoods expressed in both views. Many cannot or else simply refuse to look.
We have an f'ing problem with immigration and both conservatives and liberals bear responsibility.
Now, I turn my attention and time to more pressing and IMPORTANT matters
Hope your father is well.Delete
Take care of your Dad, RN. I hope he is well soon. We children will fight among ourselves. Don't worry about us.ReplyDelete
Thank you Jerry.ReplyDelete
I hope he's okay, man.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry to hear your father is ill. He's in our thoughts. Take care.ReplyDelete
- The Honorable, Esteemed And Distinguished Judge Dervish Sanders (A High IQ Individual)Sat Jul 18, 10:36:00 AM EDT
I'm with Jersey on this. I wasn't offened by any "continued triteness" as I saw none. And there was zero "demagoguing" in regards to the Henry Gates situation. Obama is our first African American president, and that he say something on a situation that has something to do with race relations is entirely appropriate. Obama was arbitrating or acting as a peacemaker (the opposite of demagoguing).ReplyDelete
As for "embracing the noozsters on its own side", I say this is impossible, since there are none. dmarks' refers to pundits giving their opinions... as opposed to pundits working for an organization that offers opinion but has the word "news" in it's title.
As this site encourages free speech and expression any and all honest political commentary is acceptable. Comments with cursing or vulgar language will not be posted.
Effective 3/4/18 Anonymous commenting has been disabled and this site has reverted to comment moderation. This unfortunate action is necessary due to the volume of Anonymous comments that are either off topic or irrelevant to the post subject.
While we appreciate and encourage all political viewpoints we feel no obligation to post comments that fail to rise to the standards of decency and decorum we have set for Rational Nation USA.
Thank you for your understanding... The management.

Would your clients benefit from using VoIP?
Voice over IP (VoIP) converts analog voice signals into digital data in real-time using an IP address. There are many different functions that VoIP can bring to a business however the overriding reason to move from traditional ISDN lines to VoIP is reduced cost. Popular VoIP features include conferencing, do not disturb, the ability to play music when placing callers on hold, caller ID, sending voicemail notifications to email, as well as rerouting calls to a different number if the office phone is not picked up. VoIP is something that may benefit your clients and provide you with another stable income stream. VoIP can also be integrated within their existing infrastructure or via a partner service.
Requirements for VoIP
There are just a few requirements for using a VoIP system that you will need to consider before deciding if your clients could benefit from it. The first is that there is enough bandwidth available to facilitate the VoIP system within the office or workspace. Bandwidth considerations need careful planning as high speed internet may also be contended. The key is the number of handsets in use and the amount of upload bandwidth available. It is also important to choose a good router to maintain the highest call quality for your clients, as well as the most suitable hardware.
Pros and cons
VoIP does need power to work, so it is worth considering a battery-powered backup system in the case of a power outage to reduce downtime for your customers. Most VoIP systems will operate using power over Ethernet. However there are some huge benefits to using VoIP such as the cost savings that come from internal calls, and the ability to move the VoIP phone to any location wherever you are working, and use it as long as there is a broadband internet connection. Besides this, the collaborative nature of the VoIP system makes it ideal for companies using many different forms of communications or that have a number of employees that work remotely.
Despite the fact that sound quality can be lost with insufficient bandwidth, VoIP can significantly reduce the amount spend on telecommunications and most service providers include generous incentives for resellers. You may need to supply a backup in case of power failure, but VoIP can bring flexibility to a business by providing the ability to communicate across different devices easily.
Microsoft Lync compared with Cisco UC
Both Microsoft Lync and Cisco UC are popular choices when it comes to VoIP solutions. These are two of the most well-known unified communications tools and both have their pros and cons. Users who are already familiar with Microsoft Office may find that Microsoft Lync Server is the most logical choice, whereas those who are used to Cisco Systems may find it easier to integrate with their UC functions. Both of these are relatively similar, and a lot comes down to how they will be used and understood by your customer. Other solutions include voiphone.co.uk as well as hardware providers such as Polycom and Snow that provide their own preferred software partner.
Choosing an VoIP solution for your client
As an IT provider it is important to choose the best VoIP solution for your clients, and install it to collaborate with their existing or new infrastructure to provide the greatest benefits and functionality.

Financial administration
As an entrepreneur, keeping the accounts is not your highest priority. But without reliable accounting, you won't have a good picture of your finances and you run the risk that you will not be making the right choices for your company. So why not use the specialists from Mazars to do part or all of your financial administration for you? That way, your financial affairs will be properly sorted from start to finish and you will have more time to do business.

There are literally hundreds of spots in Central Park where you can capture the perfect picture and one of them is by the Jackie Onassis Reservoir. Any time of the day is nice but at sunset, it's one for the books. This picturesque landscape, to me, is a quintessence of New York city.
I have been working just a block away from Central Park for almost five years now and I have only been to the reservoir about three times and never at sunset. This past weekend, I took my friend who was visiting from out of town to see the reservoir and I was as mesmerized by the sight just as she was. We froze our fingers off while taking pictures of the skyline, the moon, the water, the ducks, the geese and everything else we saw. When we left the park, I told myself that I must visit the reservoir more and not take having Central Park as my backyard for granted anymore.

Bonjour les filles et garçons!
We finally arrived in Bordeaux!!!!
I've only been here for three days and I'm already falling in love with this city! I've never been been in Paris but I've been told that Bordeaux is pretty much the same only smaller, which means that it's perfect!
I don't know what it is that I like the most, it could be the buildings and architecture, the people walking around with baguettes, the language or the style!
Yes... of course I've taken note of all the très chic dressed people, I always thought that it was sort of a cliche that french women dressed in this unique and effortless style but it's actually true!
It might sound a bit silly but as a person that likes fashion you actually feel inspired :)
So that's why I went a bit crazy and tried to pair two colours that you would normally keep thousands of meters apart from each other:
Red & Yellow
I thought it might be quite cool to try and wear something summery, to embody this sudden return of summer!
As you might know it tends to be rather tricky to pull of a monochrome or two-tone look, the clue is to find the perfect in between and dress down the BAM effect of the bright colours with different coloured accessories!

Set the Stage for Ongoing Mental Health Education
Realizing that many schools have standards in place to regulate and support social emotional learning (SEL) school-wide, Gale teamed up with the Cameron K. Gallagher (CKG) Foundation. This organization cultivates awareness, education, empathy, and understanding toward the depression and anxiety many teenagers experience.
Through this collaboration, Gale curated Cameron's Collection. This set of 50+ eBooks provides schools and libraries with valuable resources to help young people who are battling emotional learning and mental health challenges. The collection served as a building block for other collections like Camp Cameron—designed for younger students. Plus, it supports Gale's initiative to increase student success by bringing evidence-based SEL resources into the school classroom.
The titles in Cameron's Collection and Camp Cameron span a wide range of topics and health issues, including ADD, ADHD, alcohol, anorexia, anxiety, bipolar disorder, bulimia, caregiving, cutting, depression, divorce, eating disorders, homelessness, OCD, self-injury, stress, substance abuse, and suicide.
Many titles in the collection have chapters that provide educators with suggestions regarding professional help on mental illness and mental health, such as where to go and how to find additional information. While the eBooks help to facilitate conversations and develop competencies inside the school classroom, students have access to content related to sensitive teen issues from the privacy of the Gale eBooks platform.
Our hope for SEL instruction in schools would be that students are more well-grounded—gaining the social-emotional skills needed to set their own positive goals to make responsible decisions—leading them to academic and life success.

You ought to think about raising your chickens from scratch rather than acquiring grown-up types instantly. When getting the baby chicks out of their eggs however, an incubation stage will likely be necessary. The natural means to go about doing this is to keep hens within your coop. Whenever possible, try to invest in an incubating device.
There are additional concerns before you actually begin rearing a whole flock. Without the proper actions taken to treat any health problems, your entire flock may possibly succumb to them. If you intend on including more chickens to your present flock, be sure to separate them for around a week prior to deciding to put all of them together. An unhealthy chicken is among the worst things that could occur to you. You could very well lose your whole flock in the event you don't take any preventative techniques.
If you intend on keeping chickens as a long term project, you need to look for a neat and large spot to build the coop. When building a chicken coop, always make sure that it is sufficiently comfy and clean. Look for a useful chicken coop template to start you off. This is certainly essential if you ever want to breed healthy chickens and generate good quality eggs. Chicken coop owners often face one common issue and that's possessing a messy and filthy environment in the coop. Ample air flow coupled with constant cleaning up should keep your chicken coop clear of any nasty smell. Filling the coop using straw or even pine chips will help decrease the clutter within the coop.
Building an individual nesting box for every chicken which you have is ideal for egg generation. In the event there isn't an excellent spot to lay eggs, they might be harmed as the chickens move about and step over them.
Chicken predators are generally discovered within the rural locations but that doesn't suggest that urban locations are free from them. It wouldn't be a good idea to lace your chicken coop with chicken wire because possible predators such as dogs can chew through it. The simplest way to remedy this is to make use of hardware cloth. If you set it up correctly, your chickens' security will essentially be assured.
The type of feed you provide your chickens is likewise as important. Without proper food items, your chickens will need to resort to consuming pests. Feed of diverse brand names and types can be acquired from any pet shop or grocery store. It will not be smart to feed your chickens with your own cooked food as it wouldn't be ideal for them.
If you have the time to accomplish this, building a chicken coop completely from scratch can save you lots of money. So long as you can get a hold of a set of illustrative guides or plans, building a chicken coop is a relatively straightforward procedure. Nevertheless, for anyone searching for fast results or for individuals who don't intend on doing this long term, purchasing a chicken coop straight off the bat will be better.

AX at the AMCM
Thanks to Jurgen Schwanitz for putting these two test runs of the March 2019 AX course together side by side for two very different 911's.
Autocross Defined
When you arrive at the autocross, you'll see a course set up on a large parking lot. Soft, rubber traffic cones will be used to form the course, which consists of turns, slaloms, and straights. Arrive early — see what goes on, volunteer to get involved!
Prepare your car before you arrive
Ideally, you should prepare your car before you arrive. Remove all loose items from your car — floor mats, driver's carpet, coffee cups, etc. Check tire pressures. You may arrive early and set your parking spot up with a chair and anything else you feel you may need.
Once you arrive…
- Find the registration area
- Confirm your run group and car number
- Complete waiver and registration form
- Sign up for a work station
Bring your family and friends. Spectators are free and encouraged.
Technical Inspection
- Drive the car to Tech Inspection (or, they may find you)
- Give registration form to the inspector
- Your car will be inspected for safety
- Display your car number and class as directed
Driver's Meeting
Check the course map at the timing trailer and attend the driver's meeting where you will learn about the course:
- Safety
- Danger zones
- Tight corners
- Wet or oil spots
- Uneven or rough pavement
- Flagging and corner worker instructions
- Availability of instructors
Course Walk
Walk the course with an experienced driver (also known as walking the line)
Study the course map, and then walk the course. If no map is provided, make your own. You will be given 10 – 20 minutes to walk the course before run sessions start. The first problem that confronts every autocrosser is staying on course, so the first step is to learn where it goes.
Walk the line (path through the course) you plan to drive as if you were sitting in the driver's seat. Check for surface bumps, loose gravel and stones, uneven pavement, joints, etc. Stop and study difficult or optional sections of the course to plan your line. Observe other drivers and note where they hit pylons or have difficulty staying on course. Move around the course to observe problem areas from different locations.
At this point, decide how you want to drive the course (with help from your instructor and/or other experienced autocrossers). How to drive the course calls for a plan. And remember, an imperfect plan is always better than no plan at all.
The question autocrossers ask most often is: "How do I determine the best line or path around the course?". Starting off, concentrate only on determining the best line, which may be compared to slalom skiing. In an autocross, we are concerned with three things: time, distance, and speed.
The formula time = distance / speed expresses the relationship of three key factors in autocross. To drive the course in the least possible amount of time, the line must offer the shortest distance and permit the greatest speed. As the formula illustrates, time can be decreased by either shortening the distance or increasing the speed — or better yet, both. Many times it becomes impossible to drive at the highest speed over the shortest distance. When this occurs, the best path is a compromise somewhere between the two extremes.
Once the Competition Starts…
Watch other drivers
What line are they driving?
Where are the braking points?
Where are the shifting points (up and down)?
Now it's your turn
- Bring your car to the staging area
- Proceed to start line
- Check your seat belt
- Double-check that all loose objects are out of the car
- Focus on how you want to drive the course
Starter gives the OK!
- Launch the car quickly (weigh pros and cons of driveline abuse vs preservation)
- Look several turns ahead if possible
- Know where you want to place the car
- Remember when to brake and shift
If you should spin
- BOTH FEET IN = depress the clutch and brake fully
- Stop the car and don't start again until corner workers re-start you
- Finish the course and we will give you an applause.
If you see a Red Flag
- Quickly come to a complete stop
- Look for corner workers to re-start you
- Drive the First Run at Reduced Throttle
The Bottom Line…
- Learn to stay on course
- Drive a good line
- Drive smoothly
- Have a good time!

How To Get Stronger In The Gym Fast
Incline Bench Press
Cable Crossover Exercise
Bodybuilding Workouts That Increase Muscle Strength
When you are trying to build muscle fast, and build lean muscle that is not just for looks but for strength as well. Its important to embrace a workout routine that is going to help your entire body build muscle in unison with other muscles. In order to do this, its important to workout certain muscles on certain days and the muscles that you work out should be the muscles that complement each other so that your muscles grow together. Have you ever seen someone that has a back that is not proportional to their chest? This is because they are not working out their chest as hard as they work out their pectoral muscles. For optimal results, its best to workout chest and back on the same day, or better yet do workout your chest, back and shoulders all on the same day.
- Then the next day workout your biceps, triceps and forearms on the same day.
- Don't forget legs, workout your quads, hamstrings and calves on the same day. Most people don't know this but you will experience better muscle gains overall if you are working out your legs as much as you do with your upper body. The quad muscles around the thigh are among the biggest muscles in your body.
- Of course, don't forget about your abdominal muscles and lower back as well. If you are doing ab workouts and you find that your lower back is in more pain than it should be, its because your not keeping your lower back as strong as it should be. The lower back muscles play a major role in posture so its very important to keep that area strong. So do lower back exercises on the same day that you are doing ab workouts like crunches, reverse crunches etc. and you should notice a significant difference.
These are all the major muscle groups of the body and working out in this way is the most sensible way to make sure that your muscle physique is symmetrical and balanced. If you notice that is about 4 different workout days which is a good amount of time to spend at the gym each week. So once you finish deciding what body parts you are going to work out for each particular day, just rinse and repeat and do the same thing next week. Also, remember to mix up exercises every few weeks to avoid a muscle plateau in which growth seems to slow down. Mix it up and choose different exercises every couple of weeks. For example for upper chest you might have done incline bench press, so maybe next time try doing a dumbbell incline bench press, it may sound like the same exercise but dumbbell bench presses isolate the muscles much more, especially when you consider how much harder your shoulders and arms are working.
Pre-Workout Supplements
I've been working out for a long time, I've always loved working out at the gym and I've taken my fair share of pre-workout supplements too. I'd like to say that I've tried every pre-workout supplement on the market, but that would be a lot of supplements. Although I haven't tried every pre-workout supplement on the market, I can say that I have tried most of them, especially the major brands that you see at GNC.
From the ones that I have tested, I know that they were among the elite supplements that GNC sells and overall I was very happy with all of the supplements. Of course I did like some supplements more than others and I'll discuss which supplements I think are best nitric oxide supplements for increasing energy, stamina and strength in the gym. There are also other articles that discuss the best bodybuilding supplements for building muscle and you could choose to use those supplements as well for maximum muscle gain.

Nano Vapor Hardcore is the best pre-workout supplement that I've ever used. The nitric oxide kick combines with the kick of creatine and some caffeine: The result is explosive and you can instantly feel a pump in your muscles after you drink it.
All of the flavors for this pre-workout drink taste pretty good, its easy to drink and it works great. I noticed a huge increase in stamina, strength and endurance in the gym after I finished drinking it.
I have always respected MuscleTech supplements even though sometimes they are a little more expensive. But trust me, MuscleTech has struck gold with this supplement because it works so well and it even has some creatine anhydrous which is a form of creatine with a high rate of absorbency. I swear by this supplement and I plan to continue buying it because I consider it to be among the best pre-workout supplements.
Good Prices On N.O. Xplod
N.O. Xplod
N.O. Xplod is another great supplement that I've tried. I noticed a significant increase in energy and stamina when I took N.O. Xplod before a workout. I wasn't jittery during my workout, my strength increased, and the drink tastes really good.
Not really too much to complain about when it comes to this nitric oxide supplement, but for some unexplainable reason I don't feel like I get as amplified with this supplement when I compare it to naNO vapor. I would describe the change in energy and stamina to be powerful though.
Don't get me wrong, N.O. XPlod is a great supplement and I would buy it again. Its less expensive than naNO Vapor and it has almost all of the same ingredients. You really can't go wrong with N.O. Xplod as a nitric oxide pre workout supplement because it does deliver a powerful punch of adrenaline before going to workout. I would describe N.O. Xplod as a powerful supplement with a kick of adrenaline, N.O. and some creatine. But if N.O. is to be considered a powerful nitric-oxide pre-workout supplement. Then I would consider naNO Vapor to be a "hardcore nitric oxide supplement".
Good Prices On Nitrix
If your just looking for a pure nitric oxide supplement to increase stamina, energy, endurance, increase circulation, and increase your pump: Nitrix will work perfectly. Nitrix was the first nitric oxide supplement I took and it doesn't have any creatine. One of the other differences between Nitrix and other supplements is the fact that it comes in pill form.
I usually took the dosage around 30 minutes before working out. Nitrix works great, I especially noticed an increase in strengh, muscularity, vascularity and endurance. I was always able to finish my workouts when I was taking Nitrix and sometimes I was astonished with how hard it was for me to feel fatigued during a workout. This is a great nitric oxide supplement.
Force Factor is one of the many nitric oxide sumlpepents specifically designed for weight lifting.a0 As you can see from the stars, we obviously feel that there are better nitric oxide sumlpepents out there for the money.a0 Force Factor definitely does what it claims to do.a0 It gives you a big boost in your workout.a0 It's just really expensive, and we personally don't feel like their formula is as clean as Nitrix.a0 More people complain of side effects with Force Factor than they do with Nitrix, and Nitrix is quite a bit cheaper.a0 So if you're thinking of trying out Force Factor and haven't checked out Nitrix yet, read our Nitrix Review.
Thanks for the information, I've also heard really good things about nitrix if your looking for a nitric oxide supplement without the creatine.
I love using nano vapor as a pre workout supplement. Definitely helps facilitate huge gains in muscle, and the pump in the gym is amazing
nice informative hub.

My interest in photography began when I inherited my brother's 35 mm Canon he purchased in Vietnam. I was truly inspired by the photographs he captured during the war. In high school, I took a one week course in B&W photography and development. I loved the creativity.
Fast forward to the digital age where there is instant gratification. I recently returned from a trip to the African continent and found I took about 6300 photographs!
My eyes turn to lines....in architecture or even in the path made by the footprints of a hippopotamus. Black and whites, nature, animals, sunsets, macrophotography, architecture, reflections and simplicity.....I'm drawn to all.
I've photographed parts of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, Mexico, several Asian countries and the African continent. I have many places on my list such as Vietnam, Fiji and Washington D.C.
As I dive into my collection, I'll be updating my website periodically so please visit again. In the meantime, enjoy what you see and maybe even take home a print or a phone cover.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

I was recently given some memory sticks by a friend (EH) for fixing her laptop (thankyou, EH). So I started looking on Amazon UK for dedicated USB memory stick pouches but all the suitable pouches were £16+. So I had a think. And I remembered I had some spare transparent pencil cases (which I previously used to hold unit cards when I was playing the Babylon 5 : A Call to Arms wargame).
It turns out the cases are cheap and better (you can see what's inside without having to open the case).

The long awaited House and Senate negotiations on the unemployment benefits extension bill for American's long-term jobless ended as quickly as they started. Senator Dean Heller, R-NV, the co-author of the Senate bill phoned Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH Tuesday afternoon, April 29, 2014 where they discussed the speaker's need to have job creation measures added to the Senate passed bill to put it to a vote in the House. Apparently according a statement from Boehner's office Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV is refusing to have any job creation provisions added to the bill, despite the fact that he seemed in recent comments more open to idea to be able restore the benefits. Nearly 3 million long-term jobless have been left without any benefits since Dec. 28, 2013 when Congress let the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program expire. The clock is ticking for the House of Representatives to pass the unemployment benefits extension as the Senate bill has an end of May best before date, or else Congress will have to go back to the drawing board.
In the 15-minute phone call Boehner reiterated his demands that the White House list what job creation measures the House Republicans could add to the bill. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney already told Boehner on Monday, April 21 that the administration refuses to negotiate on the bill. Boehner has consistently placed the blame on President Barack Obama and the White House for the House for not taking up the unemployment extension rather that insult or criticize fellow Republican Heller. After the call Heller stated Boehner wants "to know and believe the White House is serious about it." Continuing, Heller emphasized that Boehner "was very adamant about that."
After the phone call Michael Steel, Boehner's spokesman issued a statement, which read; "The Speaker spoke by telephone with Sen. Heller today, and told him the same thing he has told the White House since before Christmas: we're willing to look at a plan that is paid-for and includes something to help create jobs. Unfortunately, Senator Reid ruled out adding jobs provisions."
Chandler Smith, Heller's spokeswoman called it "a good conversation." Continuing, she stated in an email statement that Heller "encouraged the Speaker to allow the unemployment insurance extension legislation to move forward in the House, making the case that this bill is not just important for Nevada, but for the entire country." Continuing Smith recounted that "Speaker Boehner relayed the same message that he gave to the White House. Senator Heller will continue to work to get something done." Smith added that Heller "will continue to work to get something done."
While Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson found the Speaker's office's comments incredulous and just an excuse not to put the bill to a House vote. Jentleson said; "Are you kidding me? This is the lamest excuse in a long line of lame excuses. Speaker Boehner could bring the bill to the floor tomorrow if he wanted but he's choosing not to, it's as simple as that."
Earlier in the day, Heller spoke to the press about the upcoming meeting Boehner, which Heller did not say whether it would be an in-person or phone meeting, but was hopeful about stating; "Let's move this legislation.… It's important that we get this done." Heller is worried the Senate passed bill expires at the end of May, and he told the press "Of course I'm concerned about [the package expiring]. And I want the House to move on that right away. But, yeah, that's a concern.… We need to get this retroactively done to help these families that need the money." Heller concluded that "It's important to me to get this done." long-term unemployment is a bipartisan concern in Nevada, Heller's state, which has according to Roll Call the second highest unemployment rate in the country.
Previously, on Friday, April 18 Heller and Reid expressed optimism for negotiations with Boehner and his office during a joint appearance on a local Nevada TV station KSNV, Las Vegas' NBC affiliate. Heller stated "We will put together a meeting. We couldn't get it done before the break." However, he did say that "Our staffs are talking with the speaker's staff." Heller also discussed in the appearance that that the Senate is looking into a "compromise" with the House including adding job creation provisions. Reid seemed even more confident that that he will be able to negotiate with Boehner about the bill. Unlike the combative tone Obama takes with GOP House leadership, Reid is actually on good terms with the speaker, explaining; "Let me say one thing that I think might be interesting to your viewing audience. We kick around John Boehner often, but I have a wonderful relationship with him. He's the nicest guy."
The ball is in the House's court now regarding the unemployment benefits extension since the Senate passed the unemployment benefits extension bill on April 7, 2014. Since then the Republicans in the House of Representatives have been considering adding job creating provisions to the bill to make it acceptable to Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH so that he would put the bill to a vote. At this point the speaker will not put the bill to a House vote without any added provisions.
At the GOP leadership press conference on Thursday, April 10 Boehner had asked for the White House and Obama administration to let him know which provisions would be acceptable. The White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded at the daily press briefing on Monday, April 21, 2014 that the White House refuses and objects for the House adding any additional provisions to the unemployment benefits extension bill and President Obama will not negotiate on any concessions on the unemployment benefits bill he wants the House GOP to pass the Senate bill as is. Carney clarified at the press briefing; "I don't have the latest on how that effort is progressing on Capitol Hill, but our position remains very clear, which is that these are benefits that should be extended. Extending them would be, of course, hugely impactful to the families who receive them directly, but also of great benefit to the economy." Continuing, Carney urged the House to pass the bill, saying; "And Congress ought to take action."
Among the prospective proposals is the one from two Republican Representatives, Charlie Dent from Pennsylvania and Mark Meadows from North Carolina introduced an alternative to the Senate passed unemployment benefits extension bill entitled the "GROWTH (Generating Real Opportunities for Workers and Transitional Help) Act" (HR 3885). The new bill restructures the Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program, extends benefits for a year, and adds provisions that would pass the XL Keystone Pipeline, and change two elements of the Affordable Care Act, the health care law.
The most popular provision choice, by the House GOP at this moment to bring the bill to a House vote is the "Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills (SKILLS) Act" (HR 803) sponsored by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. and passed by the House in March 2013. Senator Dean Heller, R-NV, one of the Senate co-sponsors and authors of the unemployment benefits extension bill is negotiating for the Senate with the House, agrees that combining job training would be good a fit and he supports that idea just as long as the unemployment benefits extension gets passed. The SKILLS Act "streamlines" job training programs, and would provide job training to 3.7 million Americans unemployed for longer than 27 weeks.
Boehner speaking to the press on Thursday morning, April 10 reiterated his position on job creation measures being a part of any unemployment benefits extension bill he would bring to a House vote. Boehner stated; "Listen, I made clear to the president last December that if he wanted us to consider an extension of emergency unemployment benefits, it would have to be paid for and it would have to include things that would help get our economy going. They have not put forward anything with regard to how we would create more jobs. And so the ball's still in their court."
Boehner still believes that the Senate needs to move on serious job creation bills to solve the economic problems that Americans are still facing. The speaker explained; "Meanwhile, Democrats here in Washington continue to play their usual politics, using their old playbook of pitting one group of Americans against another. And frankly, it's pretty obvious that their efforts have failed. They've fallen flat because the American people are still asking the question, 'Where are the jobs?,' and these political votes provide no answers."
Job creation and training legislation is a priority for Boehner and the Republican House. Boehner even focused the GOP weekly address on Saturday, April 26, 2014 on urging the Senate Democrats to work with the House GOP on the economy and job creation and passing the House's jobs bills. The speaker explained on April 10 the types of bills the House are making a priority. Boehner indicated; "So the House is going to continue to focus on the American people's priorities: creating good paying jobs, increasing wages, and expanding opportunity for all Americans. This means reforming our job training and skills programs, advancing bipartisan charter school legislation, critical water and highway infrastructure bills, expanding exports to our allies, and repealing and replacing ObamaCare – just to name a few." The speaker's listing of legislating priorities give a good idea what type of provisions need to be added to the unemployment benefits extension to get the bill to a vote and passed in the House.
Not all Republicans in the House of Representatives agree with Speaker Boehner's position and dismissal on long-term jobless unemployment benefits, and on Thursday, April 3, 2014, seven Republican Reps signed a letter objecting to Boehner, asking him and House Majority leader Eric Cantor, R-VA to pass the Senate's bill or House produced "alternative." Reps. Peter T. King, R-NY and Frank A. LoBiondo , R-NJ sent the Speaker a letter requesting he extend unemployment benefits and put the Senate bill known as HR 3979 or just any unemployment benefits extension bill to a vote.
The pressure is on from on Speaker Boehner from fellow Republicans, Democrats, the Senate and the White House to pass the unemployment benefits extension. Supporters are arguing back that not extending the benefits would hurt the economy. Supporters cite a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study that found a full year extension would provide 0.2 growth to the economy, and even the five-month Senate extension would serve beneficial to the economy. If extended for a full year the CBO study concludes extending benefits would add 200,000 jobs and the program would cost $26 billion.
The Senate passed on Monday, April 7, 2014 the long-term jobless unemployment benefits extension bill with 59 votes for and 38 against with six Republicans joining the Democrats to pass the bill. The bill will extend the benefits retroactively for five months from Dec. 28, 2013 and last until June 1, 2014. The speaker has already said he will not allow the House to vote on the Senate's bill in the present format. The Senate bill will cost $10 billion will be entirely covered by revenue. The bill is authored and primarily sponsored by Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Dean Heller, R-NV, who have been leading the charge for an unemployment benefits extension. The bipartisan bill has eight other Senate sponsors, including the support of five Republicans.
Generally Republicans have opposed the extension because they believe it does not motivate the unemployed to find a job as long as they have access to benefits. All throughout the financial crisis and recession Republicans voted with Democrats to extend the benefits, but now with the worst of the crisis over Republicans think the long-term jobless need to find jobs rather than receive benefits.
During the 2008 recession when Republican George W. Bush was President the government enlarged the Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Program to extend unemployment benefits beyond the 26 weeks that the states give. During the recession the "combined" state and federal benefits gave unemployed Americans 99 weeks of relief. The federal government provides "47 weeks" of extended benefits averaging "$300 a week." The unemployment benefits were extended 11 times until now, the last time was a year extension in January 2013. Then benefits were cut from 99 weeks to a maximum of 73 weeks.
Since Dec. 28, 2013 nearly 3 million Americans lost access to benefits, and each week about 70,000 Americans have lost benefits, by the end of the year 1.6 million more Americans will lose benefits. The total long-term unemployment rate is 2.5 percent, while the total unemployment rate was 6.7 percent a point more the 6.6 percent in February.
The Senate unemployment benefits extension bill expires at the end of May, with less than a month left, Boehner and the House Republicans will have to pass the bill as is, or a compromise has to be reached with the White House and Senate. If not the Senate or House will have to start over and the chances of any unemployment benefits be extended will be slim at best. With a packed agenda, and only 55 working days until the midterm elections, lines will drawn deeper between the Democrats and Republicans will deepen in a election year where the Republicans are close to regaining control of the Senate.

So your girl has done it again. However I must say the timing has been absolutely perfect, thank you Law Of Attraction!
There was another sale on at my local drugstore/pharmacy Priceline and 40% off Mayebelline cosmetics. This is about the only time I purchase drugstore cosmetics, when they come close to the same price our USA friends buy them for $14.97AUD thank you very much. I refuse to pay full price which is about $24.95AUD regularly, Australia's makeup/cosmetics mark ups is crazy!!
I wanted to get my hands on Maybelline's Super Stay 24H Full Coverage Foundation as it has been classified as a major dupe of the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation. Woot woot!
Also! Another splurge, Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in 100 Molten Gold.
Reasons Why I Didn't Need Another Highlighter
- My Mac Soft and Gentle highlighter still looks the same as I bought it a year or 2 ago. Okay maybe a small dent is apparent.
- I'll probably never hit pan on highlighters, who does when you use so little product?
Reason Why I Bought It Anyway
- It's pretty and shiny. Well that's 2 reasons hehe.
Anyhoo, Nikkia Joy of the wonderful YouTube beauty guru community has been raving about this highlighter and she says its pretty much the exact same product as the ABH Amrezy Highlighter. Yes, I'm sold.
I just love buying cheaper cosmetics that are dupes for the expensive counterparts.
I have yet to try these beauties but stay tuned for a video demo and review.
Have any of you tried these 2 products yet?
As always remember to love your health.
