Westminster College is a private, independent college dedicated to student learning. We are a community of learners with a long and honored tradition of caring deeply about students and their education. We offer liberal arts and professional education in courses of study for undergraduate, selected graduate, and other innovative degree and non-degree programs. Students are challenged to experiment with ideas, raise questions, critically examine alternatives, and make informed decisions. We encourage students to accept responsibility for their learning, to discover and pursue their passions, and to promote more equitable and sustainable communities.
Our purposes are to prepare students to lead lives of learning, accomplishment, and service and to help them develop skills and attributes critical for success in a diverse and interdependent world. We promote distinctive approaches to engaged learning that emphasize theory and practice in our academic and co-curricular programs. Grounded in a culture of creativity and innovation, we work to pursue excellence while promoting inclusiveness and respect for differences.
Westminster College has played a pivotal role in the educational heritage of the intermountain area. Founded in 1875 as the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school under the auspices of the First Presbyterian Church of Salt Lake City, Westminster first offered college classes in 1897 as Sheldon Jackson College. Named in honor of its primary benefactor, Sheldon Jackson, a Presbyterian clergyman and supervisor of public education in Alaska, the college operated for many years on the Collegiate Institute campus in downtown Salt Lake City. Gradually the institute became identified as the college preparatory department, and high school classes continued to be an integral part of the curriculum until 1945.
In 1902 college trustees adopted a new name to reflect a more generic Protestant orientation than its former title afforded. The name Westminster derives from The Westminster Confession of Faith, a comprehensive exposition of Presbyterian theology produced by English Puritans and Scottish Presbyterians at Westminster, a borough of London, in the seventeenth century.
Moving to its present location in 1911, Westminster became the first accredited two-year junior college in the intermountain area. In 1935 Westminster modified its curriculum to qualify as a four-year junior college and in 1949 became a four-year liberal arts institution offering baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences. In the years since, the college has added a number of professional programs.
Founded by Presbyterians but always interdenominational in outlook and governance, Westminster had legal ties to the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America administered through the regional Synod of Utah. By mutual consent of church and college, Westminster ended its official covenantal relationship in 1974. Today Westminster exists as a fully independent, privately funded, nondenominational, comprehensive liberal arts institution of higher learning with selected graduate programs, meeting the West's educational needs as it has since 1875.

The Campus
The Westminster College campus is situated on 27 acres in a residential area of Salt Lake City within the shadows of the Wasatch Mountains. Students residing in the coeducational residence halls or nearby local housing are just 10 minutes from downtown, 15 minutes from nearby canyons, and only 30 minutes from spectacular ski slopes. Many cultural events, including symphony, ballet, and opera; as well as professional sports are available to students year-round.
The campus has nineteen major buildings, including a performing arts center; student union; gymnasium; and residence halls, three of which have been built since 1998. The Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business building was completed in 1988 and expanded with a 32,000 square foot addition in Fall 2002. The flagship building of the campus, Converse Hall, was built in 1907 and renovated in 1989. It features classrooms and art studios, and houses a carillon. Foster Hall, renovated 1993–94, houses Arts and Sciences faculty and classrooms. Converse Hall and Foster Hall, together with the Jewett Center for the Performing Arts, compose the Jewett Center for the Arts and Humanities. The student union—the Shaw Center—was remodeled in 2001. In addition, there is a science laboratory building, computer labs, a flight simulator lab, a print shop, a theater, and a nursing laboratory. Classes in wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery are held in the Eccles Ceramics Center. Stately old trees, flowering shrubs, a mountain stream, and a towering water fountain in the center of the campus plaza enhance the overall beauty of Westminster's campus.
The Giovale Library, completed in 1997, is a 50,000-square-foot state-of-the art library and information services center. The collection presently includes 127,000 books and 310 current journal subscriptions (with over 100 of these available electronically). Local access to other formats, including videos, DVDs, maps, microforms, and music CDs are available. Additionally, students have full-text access to over 28,500 electronic journals and more than 54,000 electronic books via some 90 online electronic databases (most of which are available from off-campus via a proxy server). The Giovale Library has seating capacity for 290 people, group study areas, a multimedia classroom, media viewing areas, a computer lab, an information commons area where multiple students can work together, and individual study carrels, all with wireless internet access. The library staff is well-trained to assist students, staff and faculty in formal classes or on an individual basis in accessing various databases and locating materials and information. The library also includes the Writing Center and an Assistive Technology Lab. The Giovale Library is a member of the Utah Academic Library Consortium.
The dedication of the library marked the first in a series of master-planned campus improvements, which include a tiered parking structure on the northwest end of campus behind the Jewett Center as well as an apartment-style residence which were both opened for Fall Semester 1998. A second apartment-style residence was opened for Fall Semester 1999, and a third was opened for Fall Semester 2001. The 35,000-square-foot expansion to the Gore School of Business Building was completed in Fall 2002. In the administration building, Bamberger Hall, the Registrar's, Financial Aid, and President's Offices were renovated in Summer 2002. Future building projects include a Science building and additional parking.
The Bill and Vieve Gore Center for Business, Aviation, and Entrepreneurship is one of the most technologically advanced facilities for business education in the nation. Interactive classrooms facilitate discussion and case analysis; the Entrepreneurship Center provides opportunities for students to mentor and consult with early-stage companies; the Center for Financial Analysis enables students to bridge the theoretical and practical components of finance; the Behavioral Simulation and Team Learning Lab simulates group, teamwork, and interpersonal relationships; mentor-team rooms provide space for students working on company-specific projects; and, in the Aviation Simulation Center, students practice their flying, instrument, and procedural skills.
The Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory, completed in Fall of 2004, adjoins the Jewett Center for the Performing Arts and helps meet the growing needs of our students in the performing arts. Some of the highlights of the new conservatory include a new concert hall with seating for 285, a rehearsal facility, seven practice rooms, a black box student theatre and a larger foyer to allow for public receptions and art exhibits.
The Dolores Doré Eccles Health, Wellness, and Athletic Center was completed in February of 2006. This 84,500-square-foot, three-story building houses a fitness complex featuring a gymnasium, climbing wall, swimming pool, fitness and training center, and lockers and training space. The third floor of the new facility is home to the college's growing Center for Nursing Education, which provides classrooms, offices, and a Skills Center that includes a state-of-the-art simulation laboratory to support experiential learning for students at all levels of nursing education.
Dumke Field and parking structure, originally Dane Hansen Memorial Stadium, was completed in Fall 2006. This underground parking structure and elevated field houses Westminster's soccer and lacrosse teams, as well as other intramural and club sports.
The Meldrum Science Center, completed in Fall 2010, is a four-story, 60,000-square-foot facility featuring 14 high-tech classrooms with integrated laboratories and five dedicated research labs. The new building provides 10 times the current space for undergraduate research, an important aspect of our faculty's inquiry-based curriculum and a significant factor in the success of our graduates. The building is designed to support active, hands-on learning, which prepares our students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. The building's layout clusters faculty offices and student workspaces to promote interaction and cross-disciplinary learning. A LEED® Platinum certified building; the Meldrum Science Center is the college's newest and most visible example to the community of sustainability in action. Among its many energy-saving features are the 20kW solar panel system on its roof, use of ambient light and recycled water, and locally sourced building materials.
The Bassis Center for Student Learning includes the college's first-ever indoor student commons,
a full-service coffee shop, an architectual skylight, fireplace, and solar light gathering tubes that bring in natural light. The center is also home to the Center for Civic Engagement, Environmental Center, Westminster Scholars Program, photography labs and a new, state-of-the-art eportfolio lab. The facility is named after Dr. Michael Bassis, the college's former president, in honor of his intense focus on student learning.
The Faculty
There are approximately 161 full-time faculty and 250 adjunct instructors who teach at Westminster College. Of the full-time faculty, more than 95% hold a Ph.D. or professional terminal degree. Among the members of the faculty are published writers, active scholars, and many who left successful professional careers in order to teach. The Genevieve W. Gore Distinguished Residents Program and the Weldon J. Taylor/American Express Executive Lecture Series bring noteworthy faculty, scholars, and business leaders to campus every year. The Anne Newman Sutton Weeks poetry series brings distinguished poets from around the world. The Tanner-McMurrin Lecture Series attracts an outstanding scholar in the history and philosophy of religion each spring, the Diversity Lecture Series helps focus the College's commitment to diversity and respect for differences, and the Kim T. Adamson Chair and annual lecture helps bring international perspectives to disciplines and majors throughout the college. The Westminster Concert Series features Westminster music faculty and other superb local and out-of-state musicians—many of them nationally or internationally respected—in the Vieve Gore Concert Hall.
The Students
Deeply committed to each student's success, Westminster College is a challenging and supportive community of learners where students take full advantage of our unique learning environment: our campus, the city, and the mountains.

Top Netting Questions
xNetSeal is not required for outdoor use, but it is recommended for Nylon netting used in high-moisture climates and will extend the life-span.
Read More
Should I take the net down when not in use?
xYou can greatly increase the life of your outdoor net by taking it down during the off season.
Read More
What are the leading factors for netting deterioration?
xRepetitive abrasion from balls, exposure to UV rays, exposure to harsh weather, incorrect application, animal damage or vandalism.
Read More
What does the # symbol followed by a number mean?
xThe # symbol and number refer to the gauge of the net. With netting, the higher the gauge, the thicker the material, the longer the lifespan of the net
Read More
What is the difference between Nylon nets and Poly nets?
What's the best material for outdoor use?
xThe best material for use, indoors or out, is Nylon with NetSeal. However, many of our customer choose Poly for their outdoor nets, because the material is water-resistant without any additional seals.
Read More
What's the difference between knotted and knotless?
xAll of our batting cage tunnels are knotted. Knotted netting means that the twine, where it intersects to create the grid, is tied in a knot.
Read More
What's the difference between Latex & Varnish?
xBoth are excellent against the elements, creating a layer of water-resistance & extra UV Inhibitors.
Latex is a water-based solution, and Varnish (paint) is an oil-based solution.
What's the difference between twisted and braided?
xTwisted netting has a higher abrasion resistance than braided, because twisted has less surface area than braided. This allows the balls to slide and spin off of the surface.
Read More
xThe mesh size of the net depends on the type of sport it's going to be used for: 3/4" or 7/8" for Golf, 1-1/2" for Hockey, Tennis and Lacrosse, 1-3/4" or 1-7/8" for Baseball, Softball, and Cricket, & 4" for Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, and Football

Hey all,

I love sitcoms. I love them so much in fact that I recently wrote one which was – happily for me – been optioned by a television production company.
While I was researching my project – i.e. sitting on the sofa in my house, glass of something nice in hand watching hour after hour of some of my favourites sitcoms – I noticed the lack of full figured women in them today. Not in America, where they are more plentiful, but here in the UK.
In the US they have a slew of curvy women on the TV screens every week. My own personal favourites are the gorgeous Fran Drescher (Happily Divorced) a woman who has the most fantastic figure on the telly at the moment –and don't get me started on those gorgeous dresses she wears!
There's Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls) who even clad in a terrible orange and red waitress uniform manages to look amazing. And let's not forget about Megyn Price (Rules of Engagement) who is understated in the way she dresses on screen but is clearly a very curvy lady.
These three examples are just off the top of my head but there are plenty more to choose from – actresses that are sexy, sassy and show their figures with pride, and what's more they have strong positive personalities and despite what obstacles are placed in their way, they endure – fabulously.
Each has no shortage of male admirers and I'm pretty sure whatever lovely dress Fran Drescher has on in each episode must sell out before the plot hits its stride, so women love them too.
Here in Britain we don't have anywhere near as many curvy ladies presented in such a way.
Of course there's Dawn French (Roger and Val Have Just Got In) but Val is hardly given the most flattering of outfits to wear!
Olivia Colman (Rev) plays a vicar's wife hilariously but she barely has the opportunity to put lippy on and is always weary, made knackered by her situation and marriage (even though it's one of my favourite sitcoms).
Miranda Hart plays a more awkward gawky version of herself on her very successful sitcom, but given the most glam Miranda ever looked on the show was when she was dressed by experts on transvestite fashion, it's not looking good for full figured women in British comedy, is it?
I appreciate that UK comedy is very different from sitcoms made on the other side of the Atlantic, as us Brits have a much more reflective approach to humour, and that down trodden and unlucky-in-love characters have given audiences a hell of a lot of pleasure over the years.
But isn't it about time curvy women weren't the butt of jokes, but the ones making them? I'd really like to see an attractive full figured actress taking the lead role in a UK sitcom, looking fabulous and having a confident, prominent role with killer lines.
Is that too much to ask?

Hi. I am the Director of Strategic Technology at Almac Clinical Technologies in Lansdale PA.
We are adding to our development team to work on exciting next generation products. This is a very exciting opportunity and frankly I am frustrated with the types of developers that we have been interviewing and failing. I want people that are passionate about continual learning and delivering business value. We are working on a c# MVC EF product with heavy amounts of TDD. We are using the complete Microsoft ALM toolset from TFS to SP to Microsoft Test Manager. You will be working on an agile team of 4 developers, 2 testers, a BA, product owner, Technical manager and an architect. We are passionate about the products that we build and are trying to build the best development team that we can. We have a multi-year product roadmap of features that we want to add to our core product.
We work from home at least 1 day a week as a team for getting stuff done days and we offer 5 weeks (yes 5) of vacation.
Be forewarned - our interview process is challenging and we are only looking for the best of the best...
Experience using the following technologies:
o Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, especially C#.NET and ASP.NET
o Microsoft MVC framework
o Microsoft Team Foundation Server [TFS]
o Microsoft SharePoint
o Microsoft LINQ
o NUnit and other debugging tools
Domain Driven Design experience
Specifically we are looking for candidates that really know c#, are strong at OOP, hate stored procedures, are committed to TDD, and love to write good and clean code. This is a position where you will learn, be challenges, and be a part of a team that is directly working on adding visible value to the organization.
Come and join us on this journey!

just posted the following entry:
Once Upon A School - TED Prize Winner
I recently watched an inspiring talk given as part of the TED 2008 conference by Dave Eggers, a philanthropist and teacher-at-large (as they describe him). The talk shows ways in which dedicated one-to-one teaching can be provided to pupils who would not normally have access to this sort of personal tuition. What's more, the students seem to lap it up.
The successful and growing network of professionals volunteering their time to shine their light on local students of all ages is only part of the story. His novel approach to teaching and the way he makes learning fun should be an inspiration to all of us.

Renovations of Apartment Building at Corner of Van Buren and Franklin Completed
Renovations have been completed on the Monterey Institute apartment building located at the corner of Van Buren and Franklin Streets. This project, headed by Controller Steve Marino, has resulted in a completely remodeled building that will provide market-rate housing for Institute faculty and staff and a guesthouse unit for VIPs and other Institute visitors. The apartment's landscaping was designed and completed by Classroom and Grounds Supervisor Marty Goss and Classroom and Grounds Assistant Kirk Eckhardt and incorporates drought-resistant plants and drip irrigation.
This building has incorporated the following green improvements in order to comply with new Monterey Green Building Codes, emphasize our commitment to sustainability, and provide a comfortable, healthy environment for those occupying the house.
• Plumbing: Installation of high-performance, low-flow showerheads, low-flow faucets, insulated plumbing and pipes (to keep heat from escaping), and low-flow toilets.
• Energy: The building will have 95% efficient furnaces, a high-efficiency water heater, and a vent kitchen range hood to the outside (in order to keep pollutions and odors from contaminating the house).
• Flooring:
– Recycled-content tile and low volatile organic compound (VOC), water-based wood finishes.
– Recycled-content, non-toxic, tack-down carpet, padding and underlayment (Recycled content: PET plastic bottles, recycled wool, nylon, or recycled cotton. Tack-down installation is easier to remove than glue-down, eliminates toxic glue chemicals, and allows the carpeting to be partially recycled at the "end" of its life.).
• Paint: The paint used in this building is low VOC.
• Reuse/Recycling: Construction and deconstruction waste was reused and job site waste was recycled to the extent possible.

His wisdom, experience, and his self-effacing and honest writing make this a real gem for aspiring entrepreneurs and business people of all kinds. - Bob Beaudine, author of The Power of WHO Startup: An Insiders Guide to Launching and Running a Business is for people who are excellent at something - product or web development, writing code, marketing or selling anything - but who are now toiling for others. Yet they have long had a dream: to take that special skill set and use it, on their own terms, in a startup business. This pattern is romanticized by the media in the form of the OC tech entrepreneur - the guy brainstorming with buddies in a garage who ends up selling his startup for millions. But what is the reality behind stories like that one? For that matter, what mental processes, frames of reference, hard knocks, and lessons learned make up the OC back story behind any startup success?. This book not only reveals the actual experience of entrepreneurship, but it provides readers with a set of universal entrepreneurial skills and tools they can use to build a business. Author Kevin Ready has made this journey, and more than once. He earned his MBA - Master of Bruise Acquisition - through numerous encounters with OC situations, problems, black holes, bad employees, sea monsters, not enough money, and other karate chops to the organizational body. Startup illustrates in detail the lessons he learned the hard way - so you dont have to. Backed up by stories of both his successes and failures, Ready helps readers learn shortcuts to help them do what eight out of 10 entrepreneurs cant: Build and sustain a successful start-up. * Illustrates the entrepreneurial journey from start to finish * Helps readers decide - or not - to start a business * Provides dozens of lessons learned and other takeaways budding entrepreneurs can put to use today What youll learn * What entrepreneurship is, and what it is not. * How to get into the skin of an entrepreneur and see the world from that perspective - before you quit your job and put everything on the line. * Key lessons that have left burn marks and abrasions on the (now very thick) skins of successful entrepreneurs. * Why building your product is only half the battle. * What the most important goals and imperatives are for any business, ensuring that you can start working on them from day one instead of stumbling into them years later and losing time, money, and opportunity in the process. * What you must know about finding, recruiting, and growing a team of dedicated employees that will share your vision and eventually take ownership of your ideas and carry them forward for you. * The advanced mind-over-business strategies for staying on top of (and inside of) the complex currents that make up your business and the market it flows within. These tools are a prime distinguishing factor for superstar entrepreneurs. Who this book is for This book is for anyone wishing to start a business, but especially IT workers toiling in the trenches who have dreamed of a starting a business. Whats involved? What challenges can I expect? How do I survive common entrepreneurial mishaps? Once I get the business up and running, how do I keep the wheels turning profitably? How do I attract customers?. How do I manage people? This book answers those questions and many more. Table of ContentsChapter 1: Setting the Stage for Starting a Business.

Directed by Kim Jin-min-I (김진민)
Screenplay by Jeong Ha-yeon (정하연)MBC | Airing dates : 2008/05/03~2008/07/20
24 episodes
Alternative titles : "La Dolce Vita", "A Bittersweet Life"
A love that is unfamiliar but sad.
Love is an empty space that can never be filled in
A changing world with changing people...
In this rapidly changing world, people are caught off guard by new events and have a hard time adapting to the times. Some types of taboo behavior are now acceptable and people even flaunt it. The confusion in social values has become an individual problem that people must grapple with by themselves.
One middle-aged couple faces a crisis as the foundation of their family crumbles.
When they reveal their true desires to each other, it takes on the form of a question to viewers on how important it is to reconnect with the values that are in disarray around us.
A melodramatic story and mystery...
A high-priced luxury apartment in the downtown area of Seoul. In this peaceful neighborhood, one young man committed suicide under uncertain circumstances.
Park Byeong-shik, a retired detective, discovers that the dead man is Lee Joon-soo, a fugitive he had been pursuing for years before he left the force. He picks up clues to solve the uncertain cause of his death.
The story begins with events that had happened six months before the man died.
Did Lee Joon-soo really kill himself? He had a lover named Hong Da-ae.
And somehow he was also linked to middle aged housewife named Yoon Hye-jin. But what exactly was their relationship? The drama traces events in the past and present to reveal the intricate web of story arcs.
More sophisticated and more luxurious...
The first episode was shot on location in Sapporo for three weeks to capture scenes of beautiful snow-capped mountains. The production quality of the show is very high as each scene was meticulously shot with great attention to small details and angle shots.
The drama contains the fun elements of a miniseries as well as highly charged moments. It will bring a fresh breath of air to viewers who are weary of the tried and true formula that they see over and over again.
Yoon Hye-jin | actress Oh Yeon-soo
Age: 38.
Forgoing a career as an interpreter, she chose to become a full-time homemaker when she married Dong-won.
Although she gave up her career dreams, she made the decision based on what she thought was best for her children and husband. She believes that her choice equates to happiness.
So her husband is always the decision maker at home.
And so the life of one woman came to a standstill career-wise.
But when she begins to become suspicious of her husband, her life moves into a different direction.
Ha Dong-won | actor Jung Bo-seok
Age: 40. A proper gentleman.
A fund manager who oversees a mid-cap fund and is rated as one of the top ten fund managers in Asia.
Hes a handsome man and is also said to be one of the best-dressed people at work. He has a lovely wife and two children.
With a picture-perfect family, he has a narcissist bent. But it as so different with Hong Da-ae. If he could, he would have given her everything he had to win her heart but it was not easy. Even though he was carrying on a long-term affair with her, she never wanted to become his wife or mistress.
And Dong-won believed that was why they were able to have such a long relationship.
That is until Da-ae told him she wanted to stop seeing him.
Lee Joon-soo | actor Lee Dong-wook
Age: 28. A good fella.
In the beginning, he was introduced in business circles as a friend of Sung-gu.
But when Sung-gu withdrew from the social circles, Joon-soo inherited the fame that Sung-gu once had. People knew him as Joon-soo from then on. But Joon-soo and Sung-gu were very tight friends.
Sung-gu had everything that Joon-soo could never possible have.
But things were changing as Joon-soo started dating Da-ae.
Sung-gu wanted to check out Joon-soos girlfriend. In fact, he wanted to steal her from him.
Joon-soo knew what was going on. But Da-ae resisted the idea.
Hong Da-ae | actress Park Shi-yeon
Age: 27. Scarlett.
Scarlett, a jewelry shop in Apkujung, is famous for two reasons.
One reason was that top celebrities frequented the jewelry store and the other, Da-ae the owner of the jewelry store was strikingly beautiful. Da-ae has pretty looks that fit in with the times.
But when she began seeing Dong-won in an indecent arrangement, her dreams were dashed away and replaced with a different desire. Then one day, Joon-soo entered her life.
When she met Joon-soo, Da-ae found the man that made her realize that she could no longer continue her relationship with Dong-woon.

Surround Sound for a Music Lover
Choosing the ideal home theater for movies and music
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
With only a small, two-speaker stereo connected to his TV, it's no wonder that Crutchfield Senior Home A/V Editor Steve jumped at the chance to set up a surround sound system in his living room. "I've become hooked on surround sound for movies," Steve says, "but as a music lover, I need a system that can also deliver high-quality two-channel audio." Problem solved. With a Marantz receiver supplying the muscle and a full set of Klipsch speakers and powered sub providing the voice, Steve has a system that does his vast collection of music and movies justice.
Taming a tough room with ease
"My living room's high, irregular ceiling, large open doorways, and reflective wall surfaces pose some real sonic challenges," explains Steve. "Luckily, the receiver in this system includes a secret weapon for dealing with these sonic hurdles — Audyssey MultEQ XT® auto setup and room correction." This advanced calibration system can easily deliver clear movie dialog and accurate, enveloping surround sound even in the toughest rooms.
Time to transform System 2.0 into Area 5.1
With an open-design living room and a sofa backed up against the wall, surround speaker placement was an issue. Steve simply set the Klipsch RS-52 II surround speakers on top of the end tables next to his sofa. It worked like a charm! The speakers' angled drivers created a wide, immersive soundfield.
"Once everything was connected, I engaged the Marantz receiver's Setup Wizard and followed the easy on-screen instructions to calibrate the system. With all the settings made, it was time to see how the system sounded. I put in a Blu-ray movie — No Country for Old Men — and sat back to enjoy the ride.
"The system kicked like a mule when called upon, but also displayed a great deal of finesse. The sound in front was firmly anchored to the screen, while the surrounds created a deep, ambient soundfield without drawing attention to themselves. This soundtrack has lots of subtle things happening, such as how the sounds of voices change in different rooms and locations, and dogs barking off to the side. I had my windows open, and the sound was so realistic that I paused the disc to make sure I wasn't hearing dogs in my own neighborhood. It was all the movie."
So it's awesome for home theater, but how does this new system meet Steve's high standards for music playback? "I'm totally impressed with its wide dynamic range and sense of ease, even at high volume levels. The entire system has transformed my living room into a concert hall."
Bi-amping for better sound
After removing the jumpers that connected the high and low speaker inputs, Steve prepares to attach a second set of cables in order to bi-amplify his towers.
Steve's surround system needed only five out of the Marantz SR6006 receiver's seven channels of power. So he used the extra two channels to "bi-amp" the Klipsch towers. Sending the additional power to the front speakers resulted in more dynamic, higher-quality sound for both music and movies.

Refusing to be typecast, Plant then threw a major curve with Shaken 'n' Stirred, the 1985 album that approximated new wave through the synthesizer embellishments of keyboardist Jezz Woodroffe and guitarist Robbie Blunt, plus Hayward's use of electronic drums. It was a creative highlight of his career, but despite a hit in "Little by Little," the album sold poorly, and the rumblings about a Zeppelin reunion mounted. Plant took the next few years off, then answered the call for Zeppelin material with 1988's Now Zen, which featured samples from his old group (plus selections from its vault on the subsequent tour). Manic Nirvana furthered the post-Zeppelin theme in 1990, and Plant's 1993 CD, Fate of Nations, proved another artistic high point and found Plant singing Page's name on the hit "Calling to You." The old songwriting partners had gotten together again for special occasions with Jones and drummers like Collins and Bonham's son Jason, but organized a different reunion in 1994. Plant brought in his bassist, Charlie Jones, and touring drummer, Michael Lee, to back the singer and Page -- who added a British symphony orchestra and Middle Eastern musicians for their televised No Quarter concert and CD. Despite Plant blocking John Paul Jones from participating (the two had disagreed throughout their careers), the show proved a fascinating blend of different cultures tackling Zeppelin classics like "Since I've Been Loving You" and "Gallows Pole."
As the versatile John Paul Jones made a name for himself as a producer (of groups as disparate as Heart and the Butthole Surfers) as well as solo artist, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page further stirred the ashes with their 1998 studio CD, Walking into Clarksdale. But the quartet format (with Charlie Jones and Michael Lee) paled in comparison to Zeppelin's similar blend of bombast and subtlety, and poor sales put Plant back at the crossroads of his 35-year career. He stayed away from recording until late 2001, when he stepped into the studio with a batch of original material and a few well-chosen covers and recorded Dreamland. Taking his penchant for experimenting with ethnic musics and blending it with a softer approach to his bluesy pop, he steered in another interesting direction almost 40 years into his recording career. In November 2003, Atlantic issued Sixty Six to Timbuktu, a two-disc compilation dedicated exclusively to Plant's solo work. The set ranged from hits like 1988's "Tall Cool One" and the Honeydrippers favorite "Sea of Love" to the previously unissued "Upside Down" and a pre-Zeppelin single dating from 1966. Mighty Rearranger followed two years later, and Plant teamed up with bluegrass icon Alison Krauss to release the Grammy-winning collaborative album Raising Sand in 2007. Plant next revived the name of his first band, Band of Joy, in 2010 for the self-titled Band of Joy release, which was co-produced by Buddy Miller.
Two years later, Plant formed a new band called the Sensational Space Shifters (featuring former Cast guitarist Liam Tyson), who made their debut at that year's WOMAD. They released a digital live album and went on to play a number of festivals, including 2014's Glastonbury. Plant's next solo album, Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, featured the band. Released by Atlantic in September 2014, it incorporated blues, rock, folk, world, funk, and electronic influences, and was a deeply personal effort that saw Plant reconnecting with his English roots. It was greeted by good reviews and healthy sales, debuting at two on the U.K. charts and ten on Billboard in the U.S. Plant retained the Sensational Space Shifters for Carry Fire, an album released in October 2017. ~ Bill Meredith, Rovi

Yesterday, the StyleDemocracy team headed down to denim mecca Over The Rainbow Jeans in Yorkville to catch up with Todd Snyder who has just recently launched an unbelievable collaboration with iconic brand Champion.
If you've never heard of Todd Snyder, that's okay. While his name is slowly becoming more recognized, his influence has been felt in the fashion/menswear industry for a while now. Snyder is well known for his work with J.Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren and was recently named as one of GQ's Best New Designers in 2012.
A first glimpse of the collection left us impressed. Classic details, mixed with modern tailoring are hallmarks on the collection. With an extensive portfolio Snyder has the ability to collaborate with a multitude of brands but chose Champion.
"[It] was part of my game plan since I set out to do my own thing. I looked at this an an opportunity to really increase my customer base, because everyone knows who Champion is, but nobody really knows who I am." Snyder says. "Champion is an iconic American Brand equal to Levi's. Working with Champion was always on my list of things to do. "
"Champion has always symbolized quality and American Style, Snyder tells us.. " I love the idea of mixing tailoring with their 1950's gym issued items. It's really been like one extended Christmas looking through [Champion's] storied past.
The collaboration takes inspiration from classic Champion pieces as well as vintage photos from the New York Athletic Club. What's truly awesome about this collaboration, is that most of it was made in Canada! Snyder chose to make this collection in Canada through WS and Company factory in Toronto.
The first-time collection for fall 2013 features a classic palette of grays, oatmeals, and stone colours accented by rich team colours – crimson, vintage green and washed royal. On each piece, a classic 1950's champion Label with T. SNYDER stenciled in the back. awesome.
As one of the premier stores in Toronto, Over the Rainbow was an excellent choice to showcase the new collection. "We are thrilled to be carrying this exclusive, Canadian-made menswear collection here at Over The Rainbow," says Joel Carman, Owner, Over The Rainbow. "We love a revival brand, and being a Yorkville institution for nearly 40 years, we are excited to be able to offer this range from a fellow heritage establishment like Champion combines with the superstar talents of Todd Snyder".
Over The Rainbow's Todd Snyder X Champion in-store display was killer, a re-created gym floor housed lockers and benches stacked with Todd Snyder goodies. If that wasn't enough, local proprietors In Vintage We Trust were on hand to unveil their first vintage art installation, giving customers an opportunity to learn about some of the classic Champion pieces Todd Snyder used as an inspiration for the collection.
So, if you're looking to step up your style game in the gym, or looking to add classic sportswear pieces into your wardrobe, the collaboration is a must see!

Recently, the leaves of my beautiful geranium plants started to look a lot less beautiful. In fact they were downright yellow at the edges. And with the dry spell we've been having, the "off" color definitely was not due to overwatering. When I checked the internet for answers, it seemed the problem with my posies might be lack of nitrogen. This mineral is one of the most important nutrients for plants, necessary for their production of proteins, amino acids and DNA. So I called the savviest gardening expert I know – my mother – for advice on how to naturally supplement my geraniums' diet and give them the nitrogen they crave. Her immediate response: "Coffee grounds."
Coffee grounds
Mom was right. No-cost and readily available, coffee grounds are an excellent way to add nitrogen to your garden. In the process of decomposition, the leavings from your morning cup of java give off nitrogen, together with phosphorus and potassium. Mix the grounds gently into your soil, or add them to the compost pile. In the latter case, make sure that they are fairly dry so they don't interfere with the aerobic quality of your heap. Although coffee beans are naturally acidic, the brewing process neutralizes their acid content to an insignificant figure.
Higher-nitrogen compost
Speaking of composting, it's a great way to reduce landfills and replenish the earth. However, the typical mix of compostable materials may not contain enough nitrogen for nitrogen-loving crops like tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, corn and potatoes. High protein substances and fresh greens are best for boosting the nitrogen level of compost. Some examples are alfalfa, cottonseed or soy meal; composted manure or chicken droppings; fresh lawn clippings (free of herbicide or pesticide) and fresh fruit and vegetable scraps. Seaweed is also a good source, though a period of about fifteen weeks is necessary for its cellulose content to break down enough to release nitrogen. Please note that your municipality may have regulations concerning what types of materials are permitted in your compost heap. This is not an arbitrary restriction, but designed for effective pest control and other large cities.
Wise planting
Another way to enrich your garden soil with nitrogen is by careful crop management. Rotate your crops, following a high-nitrogen-consuming veggie or flower with one that needs much less of this mineral. Or plant a cover crop of legumes – plants like peas, beans, alfalfa or clover. These leguminous cover crops, planted early in the spring or in autumn, are excellent for the purpose of nitrogen fixation – depositing nitrogen absorbed from the air into their root nodules. Just cut the legumes down before they flower and become woody; then dig the plants under to work that nitrogen into the earth where you want it. This process helps to loosen and aerate the soil as well.
Over-enthusiastic application of nitrogen can be counterproductive. It can stimulate plants such as tomatoes to grow disproportionately, resulting in strong, healthy stalks and stunted fruit, and might also burn them, especially if it comes into contact with their leaves. Excessive amounts of nitrogen may seep or run off into nearby water systems, causing accelerated growth of algae. These algae produce toxins and bacteria, making the affected water dangerous for drinking. In addition, it decreases or totally eliminates oxygen in the water, with illness and death for the fish population as the devastating consequence.
Test your soil before enriching it with nitrogen, and apply the mineral in small quantities. Use mulch to reduce run-off. For expert advice, consult the county extension agent at a land-grant university in your area.

N° 20–2005: ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori embarks on his second Soyuz mission to the International Space Station
15 April 2005
The ENEIDE mission, with European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori and the ISS Expedition 11 crew, lifted off today in the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft on Flight 10S to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, took place at 06.46 local time (02.46 Central European Summer Time).
Having reached orbit after a nine-minute ascension phase on a Soyuz rocket, Soyuz TMA-6 will now take about two days to travel to the ISS with its 3-man crew: Roberto Vittori, from Italy, Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, who is to be the Expedition 11 Commander on the ISS, and NASA astronaut John L. Phillips, who will be the Expedition 11 Flight Engineer. They are scheduled to dock automatically with the station at 04:19 CEST on 17 April, with the hatch opening two orbits later at 07:05.
Vittori is the Flight Engineer on Soyuz TMA-6, taking an active role alongside Soyuz Commander Krikalev in piloting and docking the spacecraft. He will also be playing a key role in the reentry, descent and landing on his return flight. This is the sixth flight for the Soyuz TMA series, the first having been in October 2002, with ESA astronaut Frank De Winne from Belgium on board. By the end of the ENEIDE mission European astronauts will have flown in all of the Soyuz TMA spacecraft. The new Soyuz TMA-6 will replace the Soyuz TMA-5 which flew the Expedition 10 crew to the ISS last October and has been docked with the station since then. Soyuz TMA-6 will remain docked with the ISS for approximately six months, serving as an emergency lifeboat.
Roberto Vittori becomes the first European astronaut to visit the ISS for a second time. During his 10-day mission, eight of them on the ISS, he will carry out an extensive experiment programme in the fields of human physiology, biology, technology and education.
The ENEIDE mission is being co-sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Defence and the region of Lazio in the framework of an agreement between ESA and Roscosmos, the Russian federal space agency. Many of the experiments were developed by Italian researchers and built by Italian industry and research institutions.
The experiments cover a wide spectrum, including research into fatigue in the upper limbs of astronauts, the results of which should help to find methods of countering fatigue, thus maintaining the condition and improving the performance of astronauts, which is of great importance to proposed longer-term missions. The biology research includes a plant germination experiment, which will look into the feasibility of growing sprouts of herbaceous crops as a high-nutrition food source in space. This experiment also contains an educational element, the aim of which is to involve and interest school children in space science by having them germinate seeds on Earth at the same time as Roberto Vittori does so in space. On the technology side there are experiments which will test the durability of electrical components for use in microsatellites and an experiment whose objective is to measure and verify, in low-Earth orbit, the GPS and EGNOS signals which will be used in the combined GPS/EGNOS navigation system for spacecraft control and guidance. EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) is Europe's first venture into satellite navigation.
"I am very pleased to see this mission successfully on its way", said Daniel Sacotte, ESA's Director of Human Spaceflight, Microgravity and Exploration Programmes. "The launch of ENEIDE is the culmination of a great deal of effort by all parties, in Italy, Russia and the ESA centres involved in its preparation, and I know that this effort will continue throughout the mission and beyond. This cooperation will bring benefits to European citizens of all ages through the extensive scientific, educational and technological programme that will be carried out during the mission, and I hope it will fire the imaginations of the children who will become our scientists and engineers of tomorrow."
The 10-day ENEIDE mission concludes with the return to Earth of the Soyuz TMA-5 landing module, scheduled for midnight (Central European Time) on 24/25 April. On the return flight Roberto Vittori will be accompanied by the ISS Expedition 10 crew, Leroy Chiao and Salizhan Sharipov, who arrived at the ISS on 16 October in Soyuz TMA-5. Krikalev, ISS Expedition 11 Commander, and Phillips, ISS Expedition 11 Flight Engineer, are replacing them.

Kraftlane bhubaneswari Patachitra painting

Estimate Delivery Time

Patachitra is the oldest form of art work which is art done on cloth. These painting are done near a small village of Puri. These paintings follow the Vaisnav cult and Krishna. The modern painters have also tried to come out with modern work with fusion of Patachitra as base.
The Patachitra when painted on cloth follows a traditional process of preparation of the canvas. First the base is prepared by coating the cloth with the soft, white, stone powder of chalk and a glue made from tamarind seeds. This gives the cloth tensile strength and a smooth, semi-absorbent surface, allowing it to accept the paint. The artist does not use a pencil or charcoal for the preliminary drawings. It is a tradition to complete the borders of the painting first. The painter then starts making a rough sketch directly with the brush using light red and yellow. The main flat colours are applied next";" the colours used are normally white, red, yellow, and black. The painter then finishes the painting with fine stokes of black brush lines, giving the effect of pen work. When the painting is completed it is held over a charcoal fire and lacquer is applied to the surface. This makes the painting water resistant and durable, besides giving it a shining finish.
This particular painting signifies Maa Bhubanesswari.
Material used: Cloth
Colour Used: Fabric
Painting is without frame.

Normally when people talk of fleets, they're discussing a massive number of boats or cars. But when it comes to Microsoft or Apple, the word best describes their lawyers. Like one army standing off against another, these lawyers lob briefs at each other or at judges. This week, one of these arguments caught our attention: Microsoft filed a motion that Apple's trademark of the phrase "App Store" should be thrown out because… wait for it… the font they used on the application was too small.more >
Adobe doesn't ship printed manuals with their software anymore, at least, not with the Creative Suite applications. Instead, you use the Help > [program_name] Help command in each individual program, which opens either the new local Adobe Help AIR application, or your default browser.

What are you doing the week before Memorial Day this year? I hope you'll be joining me in the conference that I not only speak at, but co-produce (with my InDesignSecrets.com partner, David Blatner), the Print & ePublishing Conference. You may remember that we did our first one back in May of 2010, at the Adobe headquarters in Seattle, Washington. It was a ton of fun and a great success with over 200 people in attendance. The majority of attendees and InDesignSecrets.com members voted for Washington, DC, to be the next location for the conference, and we aim to please!

Do you use Preview? It's the bundled app that OS X uses by default when you double-click on a PDF, JPG, PNG, or GIF file, and probably other formats. Now, most designer/publisher types (including myself) changed the file associations long ago so that PDFs automatically open in Reader or Acrobat, and the image files open in Photoshop or Fireworks or similar.

No matter how my weight has fluctuated I've always had problems finding clothes to fit me properly, in particular dresses. Shopping was a nightmare. There's nothing worse than hitting the shops with enthusiasm, a skip in your step and a few hard earned quid in your purse only to find that nothing nice fits you. If I wore one that accommodated my bust then it would be hang around the hips like old stretched washing; I'd have to gather it in with a belt to stop the item – no matter how expensive – looking like a shapeless sack. On the flip side, dresses which were perfect around my hips weren't woman enough to cope with my top half, leading to gaping buttons at best or me committing indecent exposure at the very worst!
Throughout my twenties and early thirties I never wore a dress as they just looked awful on me, in fitted frocks I'd bulge all over the place like a fat sausage with too much filling. It's something I feel a real sense of sadness and loss about; I was forced instead to settle for skirts and tops of wildly differing sizes. Even on my wedding day I had to wear a suit instead of the dress I really hankered after. I did a happy jig when they introduced Lycra into clothes but a tailored top took me up to a size 20 a couple of times, and believe me I'm nowhere near that.
In recent years shops have cracked on to the fact women's bodies come in all shapes and sizes (well done, retail sector!) and so us full figured women are better catered for. There's room for improvement though and much of it.
Should any clothing stores be reading this is there any chance we could get shut of the unattractive label of 'plus size'? I have generously proportioned chest and hips in my possession and I'm proud of both; I shouldn't have to slink into an out-of-the-way corner of the shop – where the plus size range is typically located – as if I'm an undesirable distant relative at a wedding, or a flabby elephant. And while I'm on the subject can shops for curvier women call a halt to the row up row of shapeless unflattering tunics which don't acknowledge we have waists and make us look a good stone heavier than we are? They're horrid!
But, steps although hesitant baby ones must be acknowledged. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar and so forth. It's a move in the right direction that curvier women are acknowledged on the high street and progressions need to be applauded – although not that much, we don't want the clothing chains and designers to get cocky and complacent, do we?
The day I discovered Liverpool's Bravissimo shop was one I'll always remember. For the first time I bought a dress – a wrap around one; I still have it three years on – that actually fitted and flattered my figure. It emphasised my good points and were kind and forgiving about the ones not so great. The feeling was alien to me, so much so I felt the urge to pick up the assistant in the changing room, twirl her around and kiss her (I didn't, by the way. That sort of thing tends to be frowned upon).
The chain paved the way in telling women they are a realistic size by giving their nice, pretty and feminine clothes the correct cut which curvy women need.
With Pepperberry, I am size 16 Super Curvy to accommodate my bust and the dress fits the rest of me as well and not two whole sizes bigger like some other shops! My wardrobe now contains fitted tailored dresses, a design I prefer rather than smocks or baggy ones – much more me!
Up until the last year my husband and friends stopped asking me where I got a new dress from because they knew the answer would be – yep, you guessed it, Bravissimo or Pepperberry.
But over the last year in particular, other shops such as SimplyBe have now acknowledged the need for a more generous cut around the bust and/or hips meaning progress is being made. Now I have more of a retail palette to choose from I can keep them guessing! I still look forward to more from high street names as they realise there's a market in clothing full figured women properly. After all, our cash is as good as that of our more slender counterparts. Or so you'd think…
