About Stone Gossard
Judging by Stone Gossard's credentials -- guitarist in Pearl Jam, participator in numerous side projects, guesting on other artists' records, producer, owner of a Seattle recording studio, record label chairman, and a one-time speaker at a House of Subcommittee hearing in Washington -- he is a true rock & roll renaissance man. Born July 20, 1966, in Seattle, WA, Stone attended Northwestern School of the Arts along with future Mudhoney guitarist Steve Turner. It was as a teenager that Gossard began playing with such Seattle garage bands as the Ducky Boys, March of Crimes, and, eventually, Green River (which also included Turner). Along with such up-and-coming local acts as Soundgarden and the Melvins, Green River helped shape what would eventually be called the "grunge" sound -- heavy metal riffs played with punk's aggression (Black Sabbath meets the Stooges). The band would only issue three independently released EP's before splitting up in 1988, but they left their mark on the burgeoning Seattle movement. Gossard stuck with former Green River bassist Jeff Ament after the splitup, and the pair decided to form a new band that would be more aligned to the glam and classic rock that they admired during their formative years.
The group, Mother Love Bone, featured the flamboyant and striking frontman Andrew Wood (aka "Landrew"). The band immediately drew attention from record companies and was the subject of a bidding war, eventually going with Mercury. The Shine EP was issued in 1989, as many assumed that their forthcoming full-length debut album would rocket them to stardom, but it wasn't meant to be. On the eve of the album's release (titled Apple) in 1990, Wood succumbed to a heroin overdose. Devastated, the band went their separate ways, but ultimately, Gossard and Ament decided to stick together once again and form another band. Soundgarden frontman and former roommate of Wood, Chris Cornell, penned several songs about the late Mother Love Bone vocalist, and asked Gossard and Ament to join in on the recording of the tracks. Prior to the sessions, Gossard received word from a friend in California about a vocalist that would be perfect for their project -- a surfer known as Eddie Vedder. Vedder arrived in Seattle shortly thereafter and was welcomed into their new band, which also included guitarist Mike McCready and a revolving door of drummers. Initially going by the name Mookie Blaylock (named after an NBA player), all four members of the new group played on Cornell's tribute to Wood, titled Temple of the Dog, released in April of 1991 to little fanfare (though it would eventually turn into a big seller a little over a year later).
Gossard's new band ultimately decided to go with another name -- Pearl Jam, issuing their debut album Ten on August 27, 1991. They couldn't have picked a better time to issue it, as the world was just about to be swept up in the whole "Seattle Explosion" (Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc.) By spring of 1992, Ten was rocketing up the charts and making Pearl Jam one of the biggest rock bands in the world. The band's success would continue with such further releases as 1993's Vs., 1994's Vitalogy, 1996's No Code, 1998's Yield, and 2000's Binaural, as well as numerous sold-out world tours (Pearl Jam would also back Neil Young on his 1995 release, Mirror Ball). The band also is one of rock's most politically aware groups, often playing benefit shows, and in 1994, Gossard and Ament spoke out against Ticketmaster in Washington.
In addition to his Pearl Jam duties, Gossard had a cameo appearance with a few of his bandmates in the 1992 Cameron Crowe-directed movie Singles, and formed a side project, Brad, issuing two woefully underrated releases -- 1993's Shame and 1997's Interiors. In addition, he's found time to launch his own record label, Loose Groove, as well as owning the Seattle recording studio, Studio Litho, producing others (Satchel, Weapon of Choice, Critters Buggin, Green Apple Quick Step), and guesting on other artists' recordings (Thermadore, Josh Freese). ~ Greg Prato

/ Cheyenne East High School
Bats-Throws: L-R
Height/Weight: 6-3/175
Hometown: Cheyenne,
Commitment: Arkansas
Birthdate: March
27, 1993
PROFILE: With
Nimmo in the same draft class as other uniquely-qualified high-school
outfield standouts such as Bubba Starling (Kansas) and Ben Roberts
(Montana), this has been an interesting spring for national scouts,
and also for regional scouts who have those remote areas. Nimmo
projects as a solid supplemental first-round pick, and should that
happen, he would become the highest draft pick ever from Wyoming.
Former University of Wyoming outfielder Bill Ewing has held that
distinction since 1976, when he was the NCAA Division I home-run
leader. Ewing was picked in the fourth round of that year's draft
by the California Angels. Despite his remote Wyoming upbringing,
Nimmo is actually a very polished product for his age. With no formal
high-school baseball in Wyoming, most of Nimmo's exposure to the
game has come while playing with Cheyenne's Post 6 American Legion
team, which has won consecutive state titles and nine of the last 10.
Nimmo has led that team in hitting the last three years, and batted
.448-15-84 with 35 stolen bases in 35 attempts in 2010 as Post 6 went
67-12 to set a program record for most wins in a season. Nimmo
has had a couple of significant factors that have weighed in his
favor from what might be expected of a Wyoming high-school product.
His older brother, Bryce, was a three-year starter at Nebraska from
2006-2008, and had many similar tools, although he was only 5-foot-10
and 175 pounds, so the Nimmo name was already familiar to many
Midwest scouts. In addition, Nimmo made appearances on the national
showcase circuit last summer, including the 2010 Tournament of Stars
in North Carolina. Cheyenne Post 6 has also made numerous
out-of-state trips to Sun Belt locations, thus giving scouts a far
broader swath of games and at-bats to familiarize themselves with
Nimmo than they have with either Starling or Roberts. What they've
seen is a very talented all-around athlete with surprisingly-polished
hitting skills from the left side. Nimmo has very advanced barrel
skills, squares up pitches consistently and can drive them to the
gaps. His easy stride and plus speed (Nimmo is a Wyoming indoor state
track champion) result in numerous doubles and triples now that
should evolve into home runs in the future as he fills out and gets
stronger. His polish with the bat is the one thing that scouts have
repeatedly remarked on this spring after seeing Nimmo. While the rest
of Nimmo's physical package doesn't quite measure up to
Starling's, it is very solid and separates him from most other
high-school center fielders in this draft. He's a 6.5 runner in the
60, despite having had 2009 ACL surgery from a football injury. He
also has solid-average to fringy-plus arm strength. Nimmo is a 4.0
student, to boot, with a scholarship offer to Arkansas, but with the
type of attention he has been getting this spring from the scouting
community, it look like professional baseball is in his immediate
Draft Position: Late First Round to
mid-Sandwich Round

Dating clubs in russian
Dating clubs in russian - updating norton
You're immediately welcomed with an Inbox message, along with a bevy of lovely ladies' profiles.
Everything you could possibly want (and more) is listed along the left side of each page, including information about Romance Tours (traveling to foreign countries to potentially meet a mate), Virtual Gifts, 'Video Dates', and more.
The search features surprised me at Anastasia Date.
Not only could I search by my age (meaning, does the lady in question want to date someone my age?
) but also her age, country of residence, smoking habits, height range, weight range, whether or not she has kids, her English proficiency, hair color, whether or not she's got a birthday coming up, her Video Date status, and more.
" is what my reader asked me, hesitant to put any more money into online dating sites with foreign singles that didn't deliver.
"I've yet to check it out," was my answer – until now.
I'll start by saying that it is a verifiable, secure online dating site, with thousands of women in Russia or the Ukraine, mostly looking to marry a man elsewhere in the world.Single women can't even sign up for the site; they've got to go through a completely different application process to confirm they do live in Russia, and also have their profiles and emails monitored to make sure the ladies aren't trying to circumvent the system or scam the paying male members.So while this Anastasia Date review gets a general thumbs-up, there are a few things to take note of before jumping in.From Anastasia Date: "Founded in 1993 by a Russian-American couple, Anastasia Date was among the first enterprises of its kind and now has a membership of over 1,000,000, with more than 80 million online visitors annually and 1.5 million+ letters exchanged onsite daily." Demographics: Female members range from the age of majority to generally the 45-year old mark, although there are older women on the site, I only encountered gals under 30.The gents I spoke were mostly well-educated and financially stable guys in their late 20s and up.Signing up is quick and easy, taking only a few seconds to plug in your name, email address and password, or through Facebook.

Dairy, Egg, and Soy Free Turkey Pot Pie is the perfect solution for leftover turkey in the freezer.
Cleaning out the freezer is always an adventure…one never quite knows what one will discover in their travels!
This week has been all about cleaning, decluttering, trying to use what I have already in the freezer and fridge and spending less. I am inspired by Carla @ My 1/2 Dozen Daily. She is on Day 19 of her 'No Spend for a Month Challenge'.
I decided to buckle down and tackle a week…I think I did quite good. I didn't spend anything on Monday and Tuesday, did a big essential shop on Wednesday and picked up a few things on Thursday and today will also be a no spend day…going skating with Matthew's class this afternoon.
All week we have eaten meals from the fridge and freezer combined. I even have meals set for tonight, Pizza Night with sauce from the freezer. Saturday and Sunday night's dinners are also from the freezer…Lambs Shanks for Andy and I, Ribs for the boys and then Spaghetti with Meatballs for Sunday.
I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge…can you beleive I still have a few more meals left for next week…Dairy,Beef and Egg Free Cabbage Rolls and Dairy and Egg Free Pierogies are waiting to be devoured!
I have always wanted to make a Dairy, Egg and Soy Free Turkey Pot Pie. On a cold day, it feels like the perfect comfort food.
I checked out the fridge and used vegetables that I had on hand: carrots, celery, a few mushrooms, and peas in the freezer.I already had potatoes and garlic. I also had some chicken stock leftover from the weekend that needed finishing up…perfect.
For dessert, I found frozen Dairy,Egg and Soy,and Peanut/Tree Nut Free Butter Tarts and Dairy, Egg, Soy and Peanut/Tree Nut Free Brownies. A yummy discovery!
I adapted a Turkey Pot Pie recipe I found from one of my favourite resources online…Canadian Living. I love the simple sliced potatoes on the top…a nice crispy topping without all the fuss.
Dairy, Egg and Soy Free Turkey Pot Pie
1 onion finely chopped
2 celery stalks finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
3 cremini mushrooms (more if you have them), peeled and chopped
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups low sodium chicken stock
3 cups of a mixture of frozen peas and diced carrots
3 cups of diced cooked turkey
2 potatoes, thinly sliced
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tbsp canola oil and saute onion, celery, garlic, mushrooms and thyme until soft.
Add flour and stir for approximately 5 minutes.
Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce to simmer until thickened.
Add turkey, peas and carrots. Salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into a casserole dish.
Layer sliced potatoes over top. Brush with extra virgin olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
Bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes. Broil to finish browning.
Dairy, Egg and Soy Free Turkey Pot Pie was served with roasted cauliflower and brussel sprouts. (I put them in for the last 20 minutes or so with the Turkey Pot Pie. I took them out before the broiling)
Tip: Michael and Andy both agreed that there should be more turkey.
P.S. Anyone who knows Matthew, knows vegetables are not his favourite. This dish was not met with much applause on his behalf. To give him credit, he did eat all his turkey and potatoes and tried some carrots…'not bad' was his verdict. He was much happier indulging in a Brownie!
P.P.S. Michael was over the moon with my Dairy,Egg,Soy and Peanut/Tree Nut Free Butter Tarts. My baking triumph! A recipe I will be sharing.

In Reply to: Ramp up posted by pamela on January 06, 2006
: What is the correct use of "ramp up"? I've heard it used in two contradictory ways recently - "There's hardly anyone there - the Department ramps up for the holidays", and "Unions are ramping up their campaign, putting increased pressure on the government". Pamela
The second usage is correct: "ramp up" implies an increased effort.
The first use seems like a mistake.

Two men are in jail while another is being sought for larceny of air conditioning units after a 17-day investigation by the Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office.
Lonnie Taylor, 42, of 3305 Cypress Grove Road, La Grange, and Tyrone Newbern, 38, of 3631 Shep Road, Grifton were arrested and charged with felony larceny � among other charges � on Friday. Timothy Joe Burge, 52, of 104 S. Isler St., Kinston, has felony warrants pending service by the LCSO.
According to an LCSO press release, Detective David Felton began working a case involving a 2 �-ton air conditioning unit valued at $3,500 that was stolen from the Grifton address where Newbern was a tenant on Aug. 6. Thieves had cut the wires and pipes from the unit before moving it.
The detective had received information from a reliable source of the identity of the thieves. The LCSO press release states that on Aug. 13, Felton purchased an AC unit � with matching serial numbers from the stolen unit � from Newbern, Taylor and Burge.
On Aug. 23, Felton purchased a second stolen Goodman AC unit, this one valued at $1,200, from Newbern and Taylor. The second unit was stolen from a N.C. 11 South residence four days earlier. Once the transaction was complete, LCSO Sgt. Walt Howard stopped the suspects in the vehicle used to transport the unit.
�This was outstanding old-fashioned police work on the part of Det. Felton,� Sheriff Chris Hill said in the statement. �Not only did he identify the suspects, Felton was able to go undercover and make purchases from the suspects, thereby recovering the property and closing the cases.�
Newbern and Taylor each received six charges, including two felony counts of larceny, two felony counts of conspiracy to commit felony larceny and two counts of possession of stolen goods. Taylor was placed in jail under a $50,000 bond while Newbern received a $25,000 bond.
Burge will be served with three warrants for felony larceny, conspiracy to commit felony larceny and possession of stolen goods.
Anyone with information about Burge is asked to call the LCSO at 252-559-6102.

March 22 (Bloomberg) -- An employee of a New Mexico company that has sparked outrage for its plans to slaughter horses is being investigated for animal cruelty in connection with a video in which he taunts animal welfare advocates while killing a horse.
Tim Sappington, 54, may face charges over the video, said Bobby Pierce, the deputy director of the New Mexico Livestock Board, an Albuquerque-based law enforcement agency. Sappington is the only employee of Valley Meat Co. near Roswell, which is seeking to become the first company to run a horse-slaughter plant in the U.S. since 2007.
"It's extreme cruelty, a penalty, to maliciously kill an animal," said Pierce, who said he believes charges will probably result from the investigation, which began yesterday. Valley Meat said it is evaluating Sappington's continued employment.
Posted on the Internet several months ago, the video was widely circulated among animal-welfare activists this week after a March 19 Bloomberg News story on Valley Meat that featured Sappington. The video shows Sappington looking into the camera, addressing an expletive to animal rights activists and then firing a pistol-like device between the eyes of the horse, which falls to the ground trembling.
"We're horrified by the video, and we are glad to hear that there's an investigation going on," said Keith Dane, director of equine protection for the Humane Society of the U.S. in Washington. "It appears this was made for publicity's sake and to taunt animal lovers."
Personal Consumption
Sappington, who said he eats horse meat two to three times a week, said he killed the animal for food. The full video, which wasn't posted online, shows him skinning and gutting the animal, too, he said.
"I killed that animal for my consumption," Sappington said in a telephone interview, before referring calls to an attorney. "If I had shot that thing in the guts or the legs or beat it and left it in the pasture for the coyotes to get at, it'd be a different discussion. I shot that for my human, my personal, consumption."
It is legal to kill livestock for food, Pierce said.
"If he claims he was killing it for his own food, the investigation would take a different turn," Pierce said.
Dane, whose organization opposes horse slaughter and is supporting a bill in Congress to ban the practice, said the video shows "a callous disregard for the life of an animal." Horse slaughter is cruel and unnecessary and the meat from the animals may not be safe because of drugs given to horses during their lives, he said.
'Seriously Concerned'
"If it indicates the type of person who will work at Valley Meat, we are seriously concerned," Dane said of the video.
The company, which previously processed cattle at its facility about 8 miles from downtown Roswell, could begin slaughtering horses and shipping the meat to other countries as soon as three weeks, A. Blair Dunn, an attorney for Valley Meat, said March 15. The company is one of several that have asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide inspectors so that they can begin operating. A federal law barring funding for the inspections lapsed in 2011.
Horse slaughter has been an emotional issue among animal- welfare advocates in the U.S., where eating of horse meat is rare and surveys show most Americans oppose the practice. Still, many farmers and ranchers say humane slaughter is necessary to dispose of unwanted animals.
While Sappington's comments were "crass and unacceptable," the video does not show anything illegal and should not change plans at Valley Meat, Dunn said.
"He's not associated with Valley Meat in this instance," Dunn said, adding that the company is evaluating Sappington's continued employment. "Our understanding is that this was on his own time and on his own property."
Dunn said the owners of the company have received bomb and death threats since it became known that they planned to open a horse-slaughter plant.
"Making threats doesn't work; making stupid videos doesn't work either," Dunn said. "This adds nothing to any discussion of horse slaughter."

Live event video production can be very popular, very effective, and very rewarding—often because there is little or no editing involved. A good live-switch production is, for all intents and purposes, ready to go; a little clean-up or post-production packaging is often all that is required before the producer is ready to deliver the show to the client.
On the other hand, some videographers want to record the best audio possible when on location, but are fully intent on sweetening their sound back in the edit studio, working with distinct audio elements and discrete audio tools. In either case, a good location audio device becomes an important part of the video equipment list.
In either case, location audio recording or live mixing places some extra demands on the videographer and crew. Advance planning, careful preparation, and even location practice runs are all crucial to successful live video production. Good coordination and communcation among the crew is vital, as is putting the right equipment in their hands.
Live audio recording also provides a valuable opportunity to back up or dual-record all audio materials, so for safety's sake if nothing else, it means accurate audio monitoring is crucial when you're working on location. As with video, you can't fix in post what you don't capture on-site.
As such, good audio mixers, location monitors, headsets, and talkback/intercom systems are all vital parts of good live audio—and all of them will be covered in upcoming installments of GEAR & NOW. For now, here's a look at some popular and useful live audio mixers.
Mix BagThe Behringer UB Eurorack line-up, introduced a couple years back, features several different models; all feature internal mic pre-amps and good noise filtering. They are AC-powered, table-top units.
Starting with the straightforward UB502, a five-input, two-bus mixer (around $40) with one mono and two stereo channels; and ranging up to larger models like the UB1204FXPro, a 12-input, 2/2-bus mic/line mixer with mic preamps and a 24-bit multi-FX stereo processor ($179.99) and beyond, Behringer supplies event videographers will a variety of good functions. Among the most noteworthy are solo and pre-fader monitoring, sub-group routing, and separate outputs.
Rolls offers a complete line of audio gear, including rackmount units, simple two-in, one-out portable models, and more functional units like the battery-powered MX442 field mixer ($1,050). With four XLR mic inputs (featuring phantom power, 20dB pad and Lo-Cut switches, trim and volume controls, and a pan control for adjusting the signal placement in the stereo field), right and left channel outputs, built-in oscillators, and slate and tone generators all packed into the four-pound mixer, the MX442 is a product worth considering by many videographers doing live production.
Peavey, a company widely known for its high-powered on-stage amplifiers, includes in its audio gear line-up a battery-powered live audio option, the RQ200 six-channel mixer ($229.95; 12 ch., $399.95). It has six XLR mic inputs and four channels with stereo line inputs. Each channel has high and low EQ, monitor and effect sends, and a channel fader. Outputs are both 1/4" and mini stereo, which can be handy for plugging the eight-pound unit into a video camera or computer.
Soundcraft's Notepad (around $190) is a small, light-weight audio mixer with tons of features. It's only about ten inches across, weighs less than five pounds, but has ten total inputs, two-band EQ, separate mix and monitor outs, peak and VU meters, and more. It has a nice clean sound, and is very flexible on-location; one videographer I know mounts it on a mic arm, attached to a basic tripod—possibly for easy reach and solo operation.
Available in three sizes with 6, 8, or 12 inputs, Sound-craft also offers the LM1 series for location sound recording. Depending on the model, units weigh upwards of 20 pounds. Nevertheless, they are well-suited for location work, with battery operation (12 "D" cells), a battery check button, as well as a low battery LED, which warns users when they're down to about a half an hour of remaining battery power.
Higher in the MixMost studio audio mixing pros (at least those who work on PCs and Macs, and know how enervating it can be to try to nail down a fade or place an effect with a keyboard or mouse) are familiar with the Mackie Universal control. On the live recording front, the Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro (around $450) is the smallest model in the company's VLZ-Pro compact mixer line, but it has a whack of solid features for the live event videographer (and for use back in the studio, too). Users will find 12 inputs (four mono, four stereo pairs), incorporating XLR mic and 1/4" line connections, and a wide range of output options, including aux sends, dedicated tape, monitor, headphone, and more, bringing flexibility to any production configuration. A three-band active EQ, as well as low-cut filtering, brings added control over incoming sound sources.
The AC-powered unit weighs a little more than six pounds, even in its solid metal chassis. Sealed pots on all controls bring added confidence during outdoor produc-tions—and yes, there is a high-density foam MackieGear mixer bag ($30) for moving the mixer around.
Mackie also manufactures Tapco mixers, offering comparable performance but at lower costs. Unveiled in 2003, the 6303 ($119.95) Tapco model features two mic inputs, two instrument inputs, two stereo line inputs, two aux sends, a stereo aux return, tape in and out, and stereo control room and phone outputs in addition to the main outputs.
Shure, well known for its microphone offerings and wireless performance gear, produces two portable mixers of particular interest to the event videographer with a somewhat larger budget for this sort of application than those likely to seek out the tools discussed thus far. The FP24 is a two-channel mixer with excellent sound quality and operational features. It is priced around $850, but if you are truly concerned about even the basic two-person interview sound you get on location, think about this unit. It can be chained to other mixers for greater functionality.
Or consider Shure's M367, a six-input mixer/amplifier, priced around $840. Balanced mic inputs can handle any wireless or condenser microphone, and the unit's outputs allow for connection to a wide array of analog and digital devices. Powered via two standard 9-volt alkaline batteries or 120V AC (detachable power cord supplied), the unit is also rackmountable.
Portable mixers from Sound Devices are a little pricier, such as the 302 model at $1495, but they offer strong audio features, including I/O limiters, high-pass filters, and adjustable trim and pan pots. Good audio integrity can be achieved with any type of input device, including wireless transmitters and receivers, direct camera audio of all kinds, and external audio re-corders. All controls are accessible right on the main sur-faces, which is handy, particularly for over-the-shoulder operation. Solo headphone monitoring, stereo tape output, and LEDs that can be read outdoors are also featured. The mixer runs from either three internal "AA" batteries or external 5-18 V DC. Even with batteries, the 302 weighs only about two pounds.
With its $2,500 street price, the DMX-P01 Digital Portable Mixer is Sony's answer to demanding live audio requirements. Weighing just under five pounds, it is well-suited for professional event video work—just wit-ness its camera send/return function. Other user-selected functions are enabled from both front-panel physical controls and menu-driven commands, displayed on a backlit LCD. It runs on eight "AA" batteries, with DC operation via 4-pin XLR connection. There's a spare battery compartment, too.
With its full 24-bit processing and a sampling rate of either 48KHz or 96KHz, the DMX-P01 provides excellent sound quality with line or mic input devices. It has both digital and analog outputs, and is easily connected to edit suite or other equipment. Live audio mixing for event videography is usually done for one of two reasons—either so you don't have to edit, or because you do. Either way, start with a good mixer on your next production and you'll be sure to hear the difference in the final mix.

STAGE TUBE: Nikkole Salter Talks CARNAVAL, Premiering at Luna Stage Tonight
Luna Stage will present the world premiere of Nikkole Salter's Carnaval - a play that was inspired by the author's discovery of the underground world of sex tourism and man-cations in Brazil. The play was developed in part through Luna Stage's New Moon Play Reading Series. Luna Stage Associate Artistic Director/Director of Play Development, Cheryl Katz, will direct. Previews for Carnaval begin tonight, January 31st, 2013. The production runs Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm through March 3rd, 2013, with the official press opening on Friday, February 8th. Watch an interview with the playwright below!
With Carnaval, Obie-Award winning playwright Nikkole Salter wanted to explore the demand side of sex tourism and its larger implications of cultural exploitation, cultural imperialism and the American ambition "to be the man". She was particularly interested in delving into the motivations this behavior and its global ramifications. "I wanted to write a play that would entertain as well as provoke discussion and personal reflection about how we engage the world," says creator Nikkole Salter. The play follows three young men from Brooklyn to Rio de Janeiro, and runs the gamut from hilarious to devastating, is not without controversy.
Nikkole Salter is returning to Luna Stage after her performance in their inaugural production of The Old Settler. As an emerging playwright, Carnaval marks Ms. Salter's second produced play. Hailed by Variety as "thoroughly convincing", Los Angeles-born, OBIE Award-winning actress and writer, Nikkole Salter, exploded onto the professional scene with her co-authorship and co-performance of the play, In the Continuum (ITC). For its Off-Broadway run and international tour, ITC received an OBIE Award (2006), and the NY Outer Critics Circle's John Gassner Award for Best New American Play (2006) to name a few of its many accolades. Miss Salter also received Helen Hayes and Black Theatre Alliance nominations for Best Actress for her performance. ITC, published by Samuel French, was pronounced - by New York Times, Newsday and New York Magazine - as one of the best plays of 2005, and was featured in numerous esteemed media outlets including Essence Magazine, American Theatre Magazine, the Los Angeles Times and NPR's Leonard Lopate Show.
Tickets range from $25 to $35 and can be purchased in person, on the phone at (973) 395-5551, or on the Luna Stage website: www.lunastage.org.

The Village Voice Obie Awards were created by Jerry Tallmer in 1955, soon after the first publication of the paper, to publicly acknowledge and encourage the growing Off-Broadway theater movement. Just as they are today, the Village Voice Obies were purposely structured with informal categories, to recognize persons and productions worthy of distinction in each theater season. The Obie Awards are an important part of the Voice's long history of championing Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway.
Fifty-five years ago, The Village Voice put downtown theater on the map with in-depth coverage and support. The paper was a forum for heated artistic discussion and played a large role in generating excitement about the emerging theater movement.
The Obies have become a theatrical tradition, a meaningful way of acknowledging the best of Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway. This list of actors, directors, writers, and designers whose careers were launched at the Obies is a Who's Who of theater. The categories for the awards change almost annually, but the spirit remains the same. The Village Voice Obie Awards continue to salute a theatrical movement that's as important, vibrant, and dynamic as it was in 1955.
The Obies are chaired by the Voice's chief theater critic Michael Feingold and his committee of judges.

Cottontop Tamarin Location
Map of South America
Cottontop TamarinThe Cottontop tamarin is a small species of monkey found in the forests of South America. The Cottontop tamarin was named because of its elegant white fur that flows over its head and shoulders.
The cottontop tamarin is found in tropical forest edges and secondary forests from Costa Rica to north western Columbia where the cottontop tamarin spends the majority of its life in the trees.
Cottontop tamarins are among the smallest of the primates with a body length of 17 cm and a tail length of 25 cm. The forelimbs of the cottontop tamarin are shorter than the hind limbs, and unlike other monkeys, the thumb of the cottontop tamarin is not opposable and it does not have a prehensile tail.
The cottontop tamarin is a diurnal primate which means that the cottontop tamarin is most active during the day and rests in the safety of the tree tops during the night. cottontop tamarins are very sociable animals and inhabit their territory with their rest of the cottontop tamarin troop which generally have between 2 and 14 members. Cottontop tamarin troops are led by the eldest female and have predominantly male members.
The cottontop tamarin is an omnivorous animal meaning that the cottontop tamarin hunts both plants and other animals in order to survive. Fruits, insects and green plants make up the majority of the cottontop tamarin's diet along with small rodents and reptiles, eggs and tree sap.
Due to the relatively small size of the cottontop tamarin, it has a number of predators within its natural environment. Wild cats, dogs, snakes and birds of prey are primary predators of the cottontop tamarin, along with humans who are destroying their natural habitat.
The cottontop tamarin usually breeds between the months of April and July, when the female cottontop tamarin will give birth to twins (or a single infant) after a four to five month gestation period. The male cottontop tamarins carry and groom infants more than the females do, but females clean the infant more than the males do. Older siblings are also known to contribute to infant care, although infants prefer to be carried by their parents than by their siblings. Infant cottontop tamarins become mobile at 2 to 5 weeks, and begin eating solid food at 4 to 7 weeks. They are independent at 10 to 18 weeks and are fully weaned at 15 to 25 weeks. Sexual maturity is attained at about 2 years of age.
Today, the cottontop tamarin is considered to be a critically endangered species with an estimated wild cottontop tamarin population of just 6,000. The main reason for the severe decline in the cottontop tamarin population is that they have lost more than 75% of their natural habitat to deforestation.

Washington, D.C. (September 14, 2011) — America's biopharmaceutical research companies have 901 biotechnology medicines and vaccines in development to target more than 100 debilitating and life-threatening diseases, such as cancer, arthritis and diabetes, according to a new report by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). The medicines in development—all in either clinical trials or under Food and Drug Administration review—include 353 for cancer and related conditions, 187 for infectious diseases, 69 for autoimmune diseases and 59 for cardiovascular diseases.
Biotechnology has opened the door to the discovery and development of new types of human therapeutics. Advancements in both cellular and molecular biology have allowed scientists to identify and develop a host of new products. These cutting-edge medicines provide significant clinical benefits, and in many cases, address therapeutic categories where no effective treatment previously existed.
"Biotechnology can offer patients and their doctors better healthcare choices that save and improve life. New therapies are changing how some human diseases are prevented and others are treated," said PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani. Innovative, targeted therapies offer enormous potential to address unmet medical needs of patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and many other serious diseases. These medicines also hold the potential to help us meet the challenge of rising healthcare costs by avoiding treatment complications and making sure each patient gets the most effective care possible.
Approved biotechnology medicines already treat or help prevent heart attacks, stroke, multiple sclerosis, leukemia, hepatitis, congestive heart failure, lymphoma, kidney cancer, cystic fibrosis, and other diseases. These medicines use many different approaches to treat disease as do medicines currently in the pipeline. According to the report, there are 300 monoclonal antibodies, a laboratory-made version of the naturally occurring immune system protein that binds to and neutralizes foreign invaders; 298 vaccines, a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease; 23 antisense drugs, medicines that interfere with the communication process that tells a cell to produce an unwanted protein; and 20 interferons, proteins that interfere with the ability of a cell to reproduce.
The practice of medicine has changed dramatically over the years through pioneering advances in biotechnology research and innovation, and patients continue to benefit from the treatments that are being developed. As medicines that address significant unmet needs are developed, future innovations in biotechnology research will bring exciting new advances to help more patients.

While campaigning in Iowa yesterday, Mitt Romney tried his very best to appear accessible and relaxed by referencing something normal Americans know about while also trying to take Barack Obama down a notch:
I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube, of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises. The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen since, well, the Kardashian wedding and the promise of "til death do us part."
Good one, Mittens! A+ for effort. As if that third degree burrrrn wasn't convincing enough on its own, Ann Romney later praised her husband's sassy side during an interview on Fox News, "I got a kick out of that. It was pretty funny. He likes to have fun."

�History doesn�t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.� Mark Twain�s wise words may apply to the move in our state legislature to make the Jordan Lake Rules history. Senate Bill 515, the misnamed Jordan Lake Water Quality Act, won�t be good for our health or the Haw River�s if it passes the House.
After seven years of negotiation, the Jordan Lake Rules were passed to mandate changes to reduce the algae and dirt polluting Jordan Lake and the Haw�s whole network of streams. Under the rules, nitrogen and fertilizer would be controlled through wooded buffers, rain gardens, and tighter wastewater treatment standards.
The rules benefit the people downstream who pay for and drink water from Jordan Lake. Do they also help the people upriver who want to drink, fish and enjoy the Haw�s waters? You bet they do.
Senators Rick Gunn and Trudy Wade, the bill�s sponsors, and the 29 other senators whose votes passed SB515 see the rules as irrelevant. However, to dismantle and then slowly, very slowly, study water quality in Jordan would delay and increase the expenses of water treatment and put fishing businesses at Jordan Lake at risk of massive fish kills. It would not help the robust revival of the Haw which is now a source of food, pleasure, renewal, and economic stimulus to our region. River towns Saxapahaw or Glencoe are prime examples of what this economic revival looks like. Most importantly, SB 515 harms us because, like it or not, the Haw�s health is vitally and inescapably linked to our own.
Are the rules working? Not fully, yet. They need to be complied with first. Please note since the rules passed in 2009, deadlines have been extended twice.
So what�s this got to do with history rhyming? Let�s go back to 1955, before a dam on the Haw created Jordan Lake. The Haw was polluted: 11 industries and 10 municipalities were dumping their waste and sewage directly into the river. Textiles dyes turned the river from blue in the morning to red in the afternoon. Blocks of foam the size of cars careened down it into bridges. Most people stopped seeing a river and just saw a sewer line.
But not state Sens. Ralph Scott and Wade Paschal, they proposed a bill to regulate what could be dumped into the Haw through pipes. With popular support, it passed on April 13, 1955. Cheers sounded. Then nothing happened. Municipalities and businesses thought it was too expensive and evaded complying.
The Haw got worse as did streams all over America. Finally in 1972 President Nixon signed the Clean Water Act, and the rebound of the Haw began.
Make no mistake about it. Without the Clean Water Act, no one would be swimming or canoeing in the Haw today. There would be no reason for our Haw River Trail.
Is history rhyming now? The Jordan Lake Rules cost money. Municipalities, developers and Realtors resist them. Are we going to wait for the federal government to enforce the clean-up mandated by the Clean Water Act?
In 1955, 17 years of denial and further decline began. We don�t need to let that happen again. Our Representatives can be persuaded to value our health and the river�s. We need to follow through on the Jordan Lake Rules, not repeal, fiddle, delay or restudy them.
SB 515 favors a quick cash savings over safeguarding our future. We could all do the same and save on garbage collection by letting trash pile up at the curb. But like river clean-up, deferring costs would only bring more problems and greater expense.
This river used to feed tens of thousands with its bounty. But that�s another story � history we should make rhyme again. We are on our way there if the Jordan Lake Rules stand.
Anne Cassebaum is author of �Down Along the Haw� and a board member of Haw River Assembly which has been protecting the river since 1982.

Warren Sapp's consistent slam of the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense as an "old and slow" beast in decline no longer holds true.
The drafting of Ryan Shazier gives coordinator Dick LeBeau a freakish new toy: the fastest linebacker to grace the league since Brian Urlacher and the most versatile rookie at his position in this year's class.
During Wednesday's practice, Shazier was a "younger version of Troy Polamalu -- lining up everywhere and anywhere," according to Alan Robinson of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The creative LeBeau sampled Shazier inside and out against a heavy dosage of two-back sets featuring Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount. LeBeau even had Shazier -- graced with 4.38 speed -- line up wide to cover Pro Bowl receiver Antonio Brown.
Expected to see most of his snaps at weak-inside linebacker alongside Lawrence Timmons, Shazier hit town with one advantage: He's been immersed in LeBeau's defense dating back to his days at Ohio State, where the coach frequently consulted with the Buckeyes' defensive staff.
"A lot of stuff we learned at Ohio State is from this defense," Shazier said. "The coaches came over here every now and then and learned some stuff. Some of it has different terminology, and (is) more complex, but it has a little bit of what we knew."
It's not outrageous to predict Shazier as a rock-solid Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate based on his gifts and perfect fit inside a defense that should draw high praise from Mr. Sapp come September.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the heroes debate the Super Bowl windows of Brady and Manning.

Enjoy theater-like entertainment in your home
HDTVs produce stunning pictures, with lifelike color and detail, but they don't offer big, realistic sound for your movies and shows. To make the most of your entertainment, combine a great picture with full, engaging home theater sound. You've got plenty of options for getting great sound, from multi-speaker home theater systems to simple one-speaker solutions.
Component home theater system
A traditional component home theater system, also known as a surround sound system, consists of a TV, video sources, a home theater receiver, and speakers. For the best home theater experience, this is what we recommend.
Home theater starts with your TV. A big, clear picture is must-have, and bigger is usually better. Choose 4K or OLED for the latest TV picture technology, and pay attention to smart TV features if you're interested in streaming content. If you've got a dedicated home theater room and you really want to go big, consider a projector that can produce theater-like images on screens measuring as big as 100" or more.
Video sources
Blu-ray players, 4K media players, and smart set-top boxes — these are all examples of video sources that will provide the audio/video content you'll play on your home theater system. These devices provide a wide variety of entertainment options — many connect to the Internet so you'll be able to stream content like Netflix®.
A receiver is the center of your home theater system. In addition to providing surround sound processing and the power to drive your speakers, today's home theater receivers act as a connection hub for all of your of audio/video sources and your TV. Many of our current receiver models let you control your system wirelessly using a mobile app and some let you stream music from the Internet.
Speakers connect to your receiver to produce the sound you'll hear. A traditional surround sound system consists of at least five speakers plus a powered subwoofer. You have plenty of options when it comes to speakers, from floor-standing towers to in-ceiling models to complete surround sound speaker packages.
Pre-packaged home theater systems
We carry systems that are already matched together and ready for you to purchase — some combine a receiver and speakers, while others contain speakers and you'll select a separate receiver.
Powered home theater systems
Also called "home theater in a box," these systems include a matched receiver and speakers and sometimes also a built-in Blu-ray disc player. All you have to add is a TV or projector.
Learn more about home theater in a boxShop powered home theater systems
Surround sound speaker systems
You can build your own speaker system, or choose a pre-matched system. These convenient systems are powered by your receiver and deliver immersive sound. They take the guesswork out of knowing which speakers will sound good together.Shop surround sound speaker systems
Top trends in home theater
Whether you're looking for the most theater-like experience possible or a way to get great sound with a minimum of gear, we're on top of the latest trends. Check out a few below. To learn more, connect with our advisors or explore our articles and videos.
4K TVs
Ultra High Definition TVs, also known as UHD TVs or 4K TVs, have four times the picture resolution of regular "full HD" 1080p TVs, and can display much more detail. It's an amazing-looking new technology that gets rave reviews from our customers. Ultra HD TVs are often referred to as "4K" TVs, because they have a horizontal resolution of around 4000 pixels.
Learn more about 4K Ultra High Definition TVsShop 4K TVs
Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos is a cutting-edge surround sound format that was developed to give movie soundtracks a more three-dimensional effect. It creates a "height" layer of sound above the listener. Available for a growing list of movie titles and supported by many newer home theater receivers, Dolby Atmos delivers the most lifelike surround sound we've heard yet.
Watch our video on Dolby AtmosShop Dolby Atmos
Wireless surround speakers
People frequently ask us about wireless surround speakers. No home theater speaker is truly wireless, because it will need to get power from somewhere. However, some home theater systems feature a wireless transmitter that sends audio signals from the receiver to the speakers in the rear of your room. This eliminates the need to run speaker wire from the front to the back of your room. These speakers usually connect to a wireless receiver that goes in the back of your room and plugs into an AC wall outlet for power.Shop wireless surround speakers
Sound bars
Sound bars are simple to set up, and they're great when you don't have a lot of room for speakers. Many consist of one long, slim speaker that sits beneath your TV plus a subwoofer to provide low-frequency punch. You get much better sound than your TV's built-in speakers can offer.Shop sound bars

Got questions? We've got the answers!
North America - All SABIAN cymbal series are guaranteed against defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 2 years from original date of purchase. A 1 year warranty applies to SBr. Cymbals replaced under our North American Warranty will be shipped only to an address in the U.S. or Canada.
International - Please check with your SABIAN distributor for warranty coverage outside of North America.
In North America to obtain warranty service, ship the cymbals prepaid along with a copy of the dated proof of purchase to the following;
In the USA
91 Airport Drive,
Houlton, ME.
Please call 1-800-817-2242 to request an RMA
In Canada
219 Main St.
Meductic, NB
Please call 1-888-587-9333 to request an RMA
Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing and return shipping.
SABIAN does not offer an extended warranty, though this option is offered by some stores (possibly at an added cost). In cases where warranty service is required but the SABIAN warranty has expired and the extended warranty is still in effect, the cymbal must be returned to store which sold the extended warranty.
Warranty laws vary from country to country, so for warranty details in any country outside of North America, check with the store where you purchased the cymbal. In countries outside North America, warranty matters are administered by the local SABIAN distributor.
Example: I live in the UK but bought my SABIANs from a USA dealer.
Because SABIAN does not have a single global warranty policy, any warranty is applicable only in the country you purchased your cymbal. For example: If you live in the UK and purchase a cymbal from the USA, your warranty is valid only in the USA, NOT in the UK.
And cymbals replaced under our North American warranty will be shipped only to addresses in the US or Canada.
There are several reasons for this limitation. Because of the high cost of managing and shipping, we can not expect our distributor or agent to supply replacements for products they did not handle. Also, most, if not all, counties restrict the importation of free goods (which is what a replacement cymbal would be classed as). The taxes and duties on 'free' replacement cymbals can be double or triple the original value of the cymbal itself! Some countries do not allow any 'free' goods to be shipped to a consumer.
If you experience problems with a cymbal you purchased outside the country where you live, you would need to return it to the store from which you purchased it for evaluation of the problem and (possible) replacement. All shipping costs to and from would be your responsibility. Ultimately this could become very expensive, so consider this next time you see a 'great deal' from a source outside your country.

Your replacement cymbal takes on any remaining warranty from your original purchase. So if for example you received a replacement cymbal and it had been 18 months since the purchase of the original cymbal, then you would have 6 months of warranty on your replacement cymbal.
It is important that you choose cymbals that you like… but also cymbals that will work for you and you're playing in a performance setting. Read up on who plays what (our Newsbeat magazine and this website are loaded with such information), listen to your friends, talk to other drummers… develop a sense of what might work for you. Then go out and experience some sounds. Maybe you could try your friends' cymbals or try various models at your local music store. Tapping cymbals with your finger in a store is not a good way to understand what they offer. Indeed, tap most cymbals lightly and the response will likely be more clunky metal than shimmering musicality. It is important that you 'play' the cymbals and get a sense of what they can deliver for you. (Bring your own sticks… and don't be shy when testing)
Cymbals are like many other things in life. Bigger is louder. Thicker is heavier. And then there are different series, each with its own sound characteristics.
- HH sounds darker, with a rich tonal quality. These are soulful and funky sounding cymbals.
- HHX combines Hand Hammered darkness with a touch of brightness that results in a sound that has a simmering 'edge'. It also has 'Tone Projection', so the rich sound cuts through a band.
- AA is a bright, explosive series. Its sounds are – like most series, but even more so – applicable to most styles of music, from rock and jazz to funk and pop
- XS20 is a budget priced B20 bronze cymbal (same bronze as the series above) that has a bright, tonally tighter sound suitable for contemporary music
- PRO/PRO Sonix are B8 bronze cymbals with bright, cutting and tonally focused sounds.
- B8 Pro is a complete series of cymbals designed to offer great sound and value at a lower price point
- B8 offers quality sound cymbals created to SABIAN quality standards
Each series offers a wide range of models, sizes, weights and sounds. Select from just one series, or mix the various series to create the setup that you want to play. Try a mix of darker (Hand Hammered, HHX) crashes and brighter hats and ride (AA, AAX, etc.). There are no rules.
If you want faster responses, lighter sounds, and lower volumes, choose smaller and/or lighter models. The immediate response and decay of Sound Control crashes make these great for lower-volume accenting, though you may want to balance these (or other thin crashes and splashes) against a heavier ride.
Most players like a mix of medium-weight hats and ride with thin, medium-thin or medium crashes (not all cymbals are named by their weight; some are named by their response or design features). Heavier models are great for playing loud and hard. That's what they're designed for and that's what they do best.
Looks: The most noticeable difference is the look: 'Brilliant Finish' cymbals are machine buffed then hand polished to a smooth, bright and shiny high-gloss look. 'Natural Finish' cymbals are neither buffed nor polished, remaining instead in their natural state. The buffing process of cymbals that are lathed (with 'tonal rings' in their surface) will smooth the tops ('peaks') of the grooves, creating a smoother touch and look
Sounds: While looks differ greatly, sounds between 'Natural' and 'Brilliant' cymbals may differ only slightly, if at all. The high-pressure buffing removes a very thin layer of metal (a 16" cymbal may shed approx. 1 to 2 ounces), but this has little if any noticeable effect on the sound. The possibility of difference has more to do with the surface of the cymbal being smoothed by the friction created by the pressure of the buffing. If the cymbal is lathed, the buffing will smooth the high edges of the grooves, rounding them off and thereby reducing the depth of each groove. Because sound vibrations move through the grooves, from the low valleys to the high peaks (where they generate the 'lows' and 'highs' that comprise the tone), smoothing the groove 'peaks' creates a smoother, glassier, even warmer response. The degree of sound difference - often only minimal - varies from cymbal to cymbal, yet many players do make their choice based on this difference... and the 'Natural' or 'Brilliant' looks of the cymbal.
The bell works like a resonator for a cymbal. The larger the bell, the more open the sound and longer sustain. There are various bell sizes and they all play integral roles in defining the response characteristics of the cymbal.
- Crash models: 16" AA Medium Crash and 16" AA Bright Crash - Basically the same weight, but the Bright Crash has a larger bell. That gives it a louder crash and more sustain than the Medium Crash, which is quick to respond and faster to decay.
- Ride models: 21" AA Dry Ride has the same (smaller) size of bell found on a 20" ride. A 21" Medium Heavy Ride normally has a larger bell. While this larger bell increases the output of the Medium Heavy model, the smaller bell of the Dry Ride reduces overtones and ensures cleaner stick definition.
- Another good comparison is a Flat Ride and a Medium Ride. The Flat Ride, which has no bell, is all stick sound with very little volume and no sustain. The Medium Ride, with its mid-sized bell, has a good stick response but the bell increases the overtones and extends the sustain.
The thicker the cymbal, the heavier it will be and the brighter and louder the sound. Compare a 16" Bright Crash and a 16" AA Rock Crash. Both are basically identical in shape, with the same bell size. The heavier Rock Crash is brighter sounding, has greater sustain, and is louder; it's everything a 'rock' drummer would want to play. Most drummers find it best to gauge their needs by using medium weight cymbals as a starting point. From there it is possible to identify the need for lighter or heavier models.
When SABIAN launched in late 1981, it had two series; AA and HH (now called Hand Hammered). AA is a B20 bronze cymbal (80% copper, 20% tin and traces of silver) that is pressed into shape; machine hammered with small-peen dimpling, and lathed using wide blades. Its sounds are bright, musical, explosive... very open and full.
AAX is quite a different cymbal and concept. It is also a B20 bronze cymbal, but that is where the likeness ends. AAX receives a jumbo hammering treatment and pinpoint lathing. The first 'innovative' series created by SABIAN (and the catalyst for SABIAN's reputation for award-winning innovation) AAX features an exclusive 'Auto-Focus Response' feature. Tap an AAX with your finger or beat it with a stick, the response automatically focuses on the true, fundamental sound of that cymbal. Unlike other cymbals (especially before the advent of HHX, etc.) AAX responds with total accuracy at all dynamics… from low to high volumes. Other cymbals, including AA, have a 'response threshold'. This means they sound best once they reach a certain volume. With AAX you can play the sounds you like at any volume. As for those sounds, AAX has a glassier, shimmering response that is bright, clear and focused.
Yes they can. Although the majority of HH hand cymbals have a slightly different shape they can be used for kit playing.
While it isn't on the list, a cymbal you want may still be available by special order through your music store, who can order it from us. Because our catalog of models is constantly growing and changing (some years we introduce new models plus a complete new series!) it is necessary for us to manage our inventory so music dealers and players aren't overwhelmed. Also, the demand for some cymbals can be very limited, so they are moved off the list in order to accommodate other, newer or more relevant models.
Though they may be off the list, we make every effort to not 'discontinue' any models. Some limited edition models, like the Londin Ride or Phil's Choice Raw-Bell Dry Ride expire once they reach their limit, however, it may be possible to find a virtually identical model under a different name.
Yes we do. SABIAN is one of the few if not the only company that will take orders for custom cymbals.
You can order just about anything with in the realm of reason and our manufacturing process. Best thing to do is send a description of what it is you want to [email protected] Our Vault and production staff will take a look at it and let you know if what you want is possible. If it is you will have to order it from your local dealer. The dealer can contact SABIAN for detail on how to place the order.
A few other points to remember concerning custom orders;
- Custom orders take 12 to 14 weeks. If you are placing the order from outside the USA or Canada order times can be significantly longer.
- No custom printing with peoples names etc. Custom cymbals will be stamped as prototypes. We stamp non-production cymbals as prototypes. Custom sizes are stamped what they are. Your example 21" HH Rock Ride although not a regularly stocked models it is not considered a custom cymbal. HH Rock Ride is a regular production model so it would be stamped 21" HH Rock Ride.
- There is no part number so you will have to have the dealer you want to order the cymbal from contact SABIAN at [email protected] for order details.
- There is a 20% surcharge for custom orders. You pay what the dealer would normally charge for the size and series the cymbal is made from, plus 20%.
- If you are setting out the way you want the cymbal to look, you will not be able to return the cymbal if you are not satisfied with the sound. Normally we do custom work to arrive at a specific sound. In these cases, if the customer is not satisfied with the sound of the cymbal then we have failed and can take it back, try again (we will only try twice) or have the store issue a credit. In cases where customers set out what the cymbal has to look like we have no control over what it will sound like and there for can not take it back if they are not satisfied with the sound.
Although we would like to be able to facilitate requests like this, unfortunately most of the time we can't. Our manufacturing plant is not set up for visits like this. Also we don't sell cymbals from our factory; in fact we have no direct sales. All our cymbals are sold through dealers so we would not be able to sell them to a consumer.
It does happen from time to time under special circumstances but not often.
SABIAN has a feature on the SABIAN website called Dealer locator. With this you can search for a dealer in your area by name, city or country.
Here are some tips to avoid problems:
- Play cymbals that are suitable for your playing style, sound and volume Don't play small, thin cymbals if you're playing hard in a high-volume rock band. Choose thicker, heavier models.
- Use the right sticks. Heavy sticks and light cymbals do not make a good mix.
- Use a cymbal sleeve and small felts (top and bottom) to protect your cymbal from damaging metal-on-metal contact with the stand.
- Do not over-tighten the wing nut on the stand; let the cymbal move. Too tight and the cymbal will 'choke' and vibrations - unable to release anywhere - may crack the metal.
- Do not over-angle cymbals. Let them sit flat or angled slightly toward you. Too much of an angle restricts movement and can lead to cracking around the base of the bell.
- 'Slice' across the edge of your crashes. Playing directly down and into the cymbal (straight-arming) can crack your cymbals. If your cymbals are 'chewing up' your sticks, chances are you're playing them incorrectly. Remember: SLICE! It may be awkward at first but you'll get a better sound and extend the life of your cymbals.
- Protect your cymbals when they're off the stands. Never leave them leaning against gear or flat on the floor; they'll get knocked over, their edges will get nicked (which often leads to cracking), or they'll get stepped on. Bag them individually (or separate them with a cloth or towel) then store in a cymbal bag or hard-shell case. Ideally the bag will have divider pockets and the case will have a center bolt to minimize damage from movement.
WARNING: Your warranty will be void if you take the following actions. Only attempt repairs if your warranty has expired.
There are popular methods to stop/delay a crack. Their effectiveness can be determined by the points noted at the bottom of this segment.
- Problem: Crack running along tonal grooves
- Solution: Drill small holes at either end of the crack
- Problem: Crack on cymbal edge and running toward bell
- Solutions: Thin Cymbal – Using a pair of metal cutters, make a V-shaped cut to remove the entire crack. Sandpaper the edges so they are not sharp
Heavy Cymbal – Using an electric drill, cut a small hole at the end of the crack. Sandpaper the edges so they are not sharp
- Problem: Crack (running along tonal grooves or running toward bell) near edge of cymbal
- Solution: Have a professional machine shop cut down the size of the cymbal, removing the cracked portion in the process. Use sandpaper to smooth the new edge around the cymbal
- This solution can change the sound of the cymbal but will remove concern about the crack
- Note:
- Use sandpaper to smooth all rough edges. Do not use an electric sander as friction from these generate heat that may further damage your cymbal
- Solutions must be implemented as soon as the crack is noticed
- A cracked cymbal is often the sign of something wrong with how it is mounted/angled on a stand and how it is played. It is always worth reviewing your cymbal stand to ensure it has appropriate felts, a rubber/plastic tube over the center rod; that the angle of the cymbal isn't too extreme, that it is not bolted down too tightly (it should have freedom of movement when played), and that it is not being played excessively hard (especially for thin models)
The value of a broken cymbal no longer covered by warranty is limited to the metal it is made from. And while the cost of metals has increased substantially in recent years, the scrap value of a broken cymbal would not even cover the cost of the return shipping.
'SABIAN Cymbal Cleaner' is specially formulated for use with all SABIAN cymbals... all series, all finishes. And though 'SABIAN Cymbal Cleaner' is logo-friendly, we recommend that you avoid cleaning the logos, instead cleaning around them. Wiping the logos with any cleaner will eventually remove the ink. Should your SABIAN logo require refreshing, we recommend the SABIAN Logo Renewal Kit.
What you are describing is oxidation. This occurs when moisture (water or other liquid) is left on a cymbal. This moisture, the copper and the air combine to discolor the metal, resulting in dark brown or green marks. Keeping your cymbals dry and regular cleaning (no need to 'polish') will help prevent this. Once oxidation starts, it is difficult to stop it. Regular cleaning minimizes the visual effect but will not remove it totally. The only way to remove the marking and halt the situation is to remove it all together. This requires removing a layer of metal from the cymbal either by lathing or by buffing. In most cases this is not a practical solution.
Though you may not like oxidation marks, they will not harm the sound of your cymbals.
You can easily renew the SABIAN logo with a SABIAN Logo Renewal Kit. Unfortunately, due to the large range of series, model and sizes available in our catalog, we do no offer renewal kits for those many variation, only for the SABIAN logo.
A good representation of SABIAN players - many including set-ups - appears on this website.
When viewing the set-ups, it is important to understand that what you see may be one of several set-ups used by that player. Most drummers and percussionists have a variety of cymbals they select from depending on the performance situation. What is used in the studio may be quite different from the set-up used for live performances. And moving from one style of music to another may also call for different series, sizes and models. Different venue sizes - a small club versus a major stadium - can also require the use of different models.
For the purposes of this FAQ, an endorsement is defined as the expressed or implied recommendation, by a popular and/or well-respected drummer, of a particular manufacturer's product, product line, or service(s).
Endorsements are designed to increase product or brand-name awareness (and ultimately, sales) through the use of a familiar spokesperson.
These terms are often used interchangeably. To be accurate, the drummer is the endorser, since it is the drummer who does the "endorsing" of the manufacturer's product. The manufacturer would therefore be considered the endorsee, although that's a seldom-used reference.
Any drummer who has good exposure to the manufacturer's target buyers, either as a personality or through their artist affiliation, is a candidate for an endorsement agreement.
In exchange for their endorsement, the drummer can expect a minimum "consideration" in the form of discounts on the product endorsed (and possibly on other products from the manufacturer). Based on the level of exposure the drummer can provide, the agreement may include free product, however there is generally a limit to the amount and frequency of such consideration. Other agreements may include exchanging old product for new, and in some instances, product is simply loaned as necessary. The specific product may also govern the consideration. That is, a drummer is more likely to get free sticks from a stick manufacturer, than to get free drums from a drum manufacturer. The amount and type of consideration is usually proportionate to the marketing value of the endorser to the manufacturer.
Another valuable benefit is the "support" offered by the manufacturer. An endorser will enjoy better pricing, and usually faster service than at almost any retail store. This is especially important for the traveling drummer, where the product may be unavailable in local stores.
The drummer may also have their name and/or photo used in the manufacturer's product literature and advertising campaigns.
Occasionally, the drummer may be involved with R&D (research and development) regarding the manufacturer's products, and may become an integral part of the manufacturing process.
Essentially, it is the promise of increased sales. Even musical manufacturers are in business to sell their products or services and, like any other business, generating revenue is a prime objective.
Since the manufacturer seeks exposure via the endorser, the endorser is expected to be seen using, and/or pictured with, the product. Sometimes clinics are arranged so that the endorser can help spread the word on a more personal level. For endorsers who do recordings, a 'thank you' or mention in the liner notes is customary. Traveling endorsers may be asked to accommodate manufacturer employees or representatives at performances. The endorser may be asked for R&D (research and development) input on the manufacturer's products. Schedules permitting, the endorser may be asked to demonstrate and represent the manufacturer's product at trade shows or conventions such as NAMM and PASIC. And of course, the endorser is generally expected to say nice things about the product and manufacturer.
Yes. If the manufacturer determines that the drummer will benefit the marketing strategy, they will seek an endorsement.
Sometimes a manufacturer will sign a drummer who they believe has the potential for exposure. Some manufacturers have special programs aimed at non-professionals, an example of which is the Pro-Mark Sticks "Not Yet Famous Drummers" promotion from the early '90s. The marketing angle is the same either way - the manufacturer wants the up-and-coming drummers to get where they're going, while using the product.
A letter or phone call to the artist relations person at the company will get the ball rolling. They will probably require a promo package, and then determine if the drummer can offer the kind of exposure that will help promote their product. Rejection letters are common, as are "B level" endorsements which may offer only a moderate discount on product. The choice is the manufacturer's when it comes to how they handle their marketing, and it's just not possible for them to enter into agreements with every drummer who asks.
Sometimes the specifications or quality of a product change and it no longer meets the drummer's needs; or, the drummer discovers a preferable brand; or, the manufacturer ceases production of the endorsed product, or goes out of business. Barring satisfactory resolution with the manufacturer, these are among the valid reasons to discontinue endorsing a particular product or brand. The manufacturer also has the right to terminate the agreement if the endorser violates the terms of the endorsement agreement, or if it is determined that the endorser no longer possesses suitable promotional value. A typical agreement is reviewed annually.
Seek to endorse only those products that you would use even without an agreement. Avoid being one of those drummers who takes whatever they can grab, whether they like or intend to even use the product. Your credibility as a spokesperson is important, especially once you seek to endorse additional products and manufacturers. Reputations and relationships possess tremendous value, and nobody will tolerate an endorsement-hopping "drum whore".
In certain broadcast or performance situations, it is not always possible to use the endorsed product. When that happens, you should certainly not be seen using the competitor's product! Mask the competitor's name so it is not visible. Avoid being pictured with a non-endorsed brand, and don't make the mistake of thanking non-endorsed competing manufacturers in the liner notes! Endorsement agreements are almost always exclusive, and your credibility and contract could both be lost.
In addition to being a business arrangement, the relationship between you and the manufacturer is also important on a personal level. Never whine about how you're not pictured in the latest ad, don't make excessive product requests or other demands, and respect the people who are accommodating you. In this business, it's the nice guys who finish first.
Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz has been the drummer with "Weird Al" Yankovic since 1980, and is seen and heard on all of Weird Al's albums, videos, and concert and television performances. Bermuda endorses, and has enjoyed long-term relationships with, the following manufacturers: DW (pedals), Impact (drums and cases), Kurzweil (electronics), Mainline (sticks), Remo (heads), Rhythm Tech (percussion), and SABIAN (cymbals).

This oil is fantastic. A small amount is all that is needed to provide good lubrication. It doesn't become sticky and absorbs well. My clients like it.
Organic, non-greasy, non- staining luxury oil. My first choice.
I love this oil. I have sensitive skin and eczema. This is the only product I have used that doesn't bother my hands. It will leave residue on the sheets though not as dark as other oils. So if you are looking for the perfect oil that won't stain sheets. It probably doesn't exist.
This is the best Jojoba Oil!
You would love it!
I love this product. I have allergies and tried many products that irritated my own skin. This one doesn't. It has great workability, allows for deep or light touch, doesn't stain clothes or sheets, and never goes bad. It is truly the best there is.
