PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The award-winning Berkshire Living has folded, according to a report in The Berkshire Eagle on Saturday. Publisher Michael Zivyak told The Eagle on Friday that a deal to sell Berkshire Living and its affiliated titles to Delaware lifestyle publisher Today Media fell through at the "11th hour."
iBerkshires called the Berkshire Living office several times last week but no one picked up and also left phone and email messages for Zivyak when it became apparent the magazine's website was no longer being populated.
The regional lifestyle magazine, "The Good Life in the Country," offered interviews and features on local cultural attractions and

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Excelsior Printing Co. will bring its newly acquired business to the city. The Roberts Drive printing company announced Tuesday that it purchased Oatmeal Studios of Rochester, Vt., and will bring the inventory and warehousing to the city, which could translate into local jobs. "The founders wanted to retire. We were in negotiations for about a month and finalized the deal last week," Julianne Fruscio, Excelsior's business development and marketing coordinator, said on Tuesday. Excelsior has been printing Oatmeal Studios' greeting cards for more than 20 years.

No one should be surprised to learn that Quality Printing Co. of Pittsfield has once again scored an award for its beautiful work.
What's even more satisfying is that it won for its most recent annual calender, "A Closer Look at the Berkshires," which was dedicated to the late Joel Librizzi. The Printing Industries of New England gave it a Pinnacle Award for Best in Category for the 2010 calendar, which features some of the best local photography in the Berkshires. Librizzi, a longtime photojournalist for The Berkshire Eagle, had been a judge for Qualprint's calendar competition for more than a quarter-century before he died last year.
The past May, the calendar picked up a

Webcast: Cold Week, Possible Weekend Warmup
By: Katie Thompson and Chris Sheridan
Updated: January 15, 2013
With a few more clouds out there, it is looking like we should see temperatures peak in the upper 30s low 40s again.
Also, there is the potential of seeing a few flurries Tuesday afternoon, no accumulations likely though.
Tuesday night, the flurries should come to an end and skies should clear out giving way to temperatures in the low 20s.
Wednesday, we return to the 50s and skies should be significantly more blue.
Mid to upper 50s for the last couple of days this week and then potentially one more 60 degree day on Saturday before another cold front charges through the week bringing the temperatures back down below average for the start of next week. \
For more headlines and weather, watch the embedded webcast.

U.S. stocks closed slightly higher for a second day Thursday, thanks to strength from the technology sector, including Apple's 1.6% rise. But the gains were limited as investors refrained from making big bets as long as the fiscal cliff remains unresolved.
The Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 rose 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.5%.
President Obama told members of the Business Roundtable on Wednesday that there has been "some movement" on the Republican side toward allowing rates to rise on high-income taxpayers. If this continues, he said, "we can probably solve this in about a week."
If lawmakers fail to strike a deal before the end of the year to avert the $500 billion in scheduled tax increases and spending cuts, they risk pushing the U.S. economy into recession.
"Normally, the markets like certainty," said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management. But investors "are unlikely to react positively" to what appears to be the country's first "scheduled recession, absent Congressional action," Cote said.
Investors also continued to keep an eye on the latest labor reports leading up to the closely watched monthly jobs report due Friday. The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits dropped 25,000 to 370,000 last week.
Economists surveyed by CNNMoney predict that Friday's report will show the U.S. economy added only 77,000 jobs in November, a sharp drop from the previous month, when 171,000 jobs were created.
On the corporate front, Apple shares rose, following a two-day loss of 8%. In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams scheduled to air Thursday evening, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple will begin manufacturing one of its existing Mac line of computers exclusively in the United States next year.
Yoga apparel maker lululemon athletica's third-quarter earnings topped expectations. Though guidance for the fourth quarter fell short of forecasts, its shares gained more than 7%.
Shares of Zynga surged after the company said it had filed an application for a gaming license in Nevada, taking a step towards real-money gaming, or RMG. Zynga has been struggling to make money off what appears to be the waning popularity of its social-network based games.

A population-based cohort study revealed cancer incidence was 24 percent greater in people who underwent CT imaging at least one year prior to diagnosis, according to a study published online May 22 in BMJ. The researchers called for increased awareness of the risks and benefits of CT imaging among providers and increased utilization of decision tools.
In a first-of-its-kind procedure, a biomaterial splint crafted using a combination of CT imaging and 3D printing was used to repair an infant's airway and save the baby's life. The case was described in published correspondence May 23 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
As the emphasis on the accountable care organization (ACO) gathers momentum, radiologists have been a bit perplexed as to how to approach the model. The American College of Radiology created the Radiology Integrated Care Network (RICN) to illuminate the situation. The RICN encouraged radiologists to be proactive participants in ACOs in an opinion piece published in the May issue of the Journal of American College of Radiology.
Low-dose screening CT detected 132 cases of stage IA lung cancer, while chest x-ray detected 46 stage IA cancers in the first-screen results of the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), according to research published May 23 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Cancer patients are more than twice as likely to file for bankruptcy than people without cancer, according to a study of Washington state patients published in the May issue of Health Affairs.

Comments about Nike Women's Benassi JDI Sandal:
I run 6 days of the week and I also dance 3/4 days of the week, and they're perfect for sliding on before to walk to practice or just to wear anywhere if you're rushing. They're very comfortable and I love the arch support. I wear a size 7 1/2-8 usually, but the size 7 fits me perfectly, so I'd recommend going a half size smaller, but I like to be able to walk without them slipping off like some slides. Don't worry if at first they feel too tight on top (there isn't an adjustable strap) but that's alright because the cushion forms to your feet after you wear them a bit, so that's awesome. great product!

Great Sandals
By mrstag
from Edison, NJ
About Me Casual
I am basically using this sandal as a slipper and for casual wear. I was told by my foot doctor to purchase a pair of these sandals for more support for my feet rather than wearing a regular flip flop or slippers. I am very satisfied with them and they give me great comfort and support.

When I first got these I fell in love with them. They are just soo irresistable. They are so soft and comfy that I think I would die without these. The first time I wore them all of my friends noticed and liked them too. This is the best.
LOVE these sandals!!!
By Chris
About Me Casual, Conservative
I love these sandals. I had purchased this same sandal in the past (lasted 2 years!), went into a panic when they finally wore out. Luckily I found them again. These sandals are soooo comfortable, the top is soft sided, so I never worry about blisters. If I'm home, or running a quick errand, I have these on. Thank you for still making them! Mrs. Root
I would buy these again.

text: They started the season with only two wins in the first five games, endured another injury ravaged campaign and yet the Packers are in a position most everyone thought they'd be in when it all began, on the brink of a division title. The 9-4 Pack will lock up the NFC North championship with a victory over 8-5 Chicago Sunday at Soldier Field. This year's team has realistically had but one dominating performance, the 42-24 rout of the Texans in Houston but no one really cares about the struggling victories over the likes of Jacksonville, Arizona and Detroit now. The victories kept coming, seven out of the last eight weeks and with one more, Green Bay will guarantee a home playoff game next month. It's easier said than done however against the Bears team, reeling since mid-season and also injured, they didn't have enough healthy bodies to practice on Wednesday of this week. Head coach Lovie Smith could only conduct a walk-through. Chicago's offensive line has been thinned, Brian Urlacher's season may be done and even kicker Robbie Gould had to be placed on IR this week. Meanwhile the Packers are getting healthier. Clay Matthews will be back for the first time in a month, T.J. Lang has missed a game and a half and he should return to the offensive line. Greg Jennings has a game under his belt post-surgery and is anxious to become a big factor in the offense again. The Packers will be without Charles Woodson again, doctors haven't cleared his healing collarbone just yet, James Starks, Jordy Nelson and C.J. Wilson will be sitting this one out as well. The key word the Packers must keep in mind this week is protection. They must protect Aaron Rodgers and even more so, protect the football. The Bears feast on the takeaway, a league leading 35, with 21 interceptions, seven returned for touchdowns. Tim Jennings has 8 picks by himself and Charles Tillman has forced a ridiculous nine fumbles in 13 weeks. Rodgers has been sacked 42 times and the Bears can bring heat with just four, not unlike the Giants or Lions. This allows the back seven to drop into the patented two deep coverage, forcing opponents to take their chances nickel and diming underneath. This has proved difficult for the Packers offense all season. Green Bay's defense will attack the rag-tag offensive line, give Brandon Marshall extra attention and hope Jay Cutler will be, well, Jay Cutler against the Pack. He has a welcome habit of turning the ball over, throwing four interceptions at Lambeau in September. Matt Forte needs to average only 56 yards a game to crack a thousand again but he hasn't been nearly as dynamic this year. Points have still been hard to come by for the Bears on offense. I'm looking for another low scoring, tightly contested game. The sniping between the two camps this week from Mashall and tight end Jermichael Finley and Lance Briggs is helping crank up the intensity. There's a lot on the line for both teams in this, the 186th meeting between the NFL's oldest rivals. I like the Packers to make it 12 straight in the division, five straight against the Bears and two straight North titles. It'll be a savage but satisfying 20-17 victory. On the link below, quotes from both camps looking forward to the Windy City showdown.

For some reason, people are selectively offended. Fab has a song out right now playing daily on the radio and 106&Park where he says " Night stick to beat it up, Rodney King that thang girl". Not only is that offensive to African Americans, but as a woman I'm offended that men think it's okay to rap about brutally sexually assaulting my woman parts, like how is that even a little attractive? What happened to music about gently making love, now it's just I'm going to kill it, beat it, rape it. It's disgusting.

I'm sure Ray J doesn't want Kim, he was just doing this to be called out of control, people doing the most is what's in right now. Honestly, the song is catchy and the video is really funny. Besides, no one was calling Kanye lame when he made Blame Game. Both songs are in good fun. - Beyonce Performs "Grown Woman" In Paris Blindfolded
Yassssss Queen!! I was sulking and irritated like "Who does Beyonce think she is not releasing any music" But she is a grown woman and can do what she wants and I will DEAL! lol
I can't believe how quickly i went from being over her hyping me up for no reason, to drooling over this video! I love Bey so much!!! - Will Smith Talks Refusal To Punish Kids & Jada's Controversial Facebook Posts
I LOVE this family, but I am not a fan of their marriage and parenting choices. Children need punishment and discipline. Punishment does not have to mean beating your child, which studies have proven to have a "Negative quality". Most research on parenting suggests that punishment is necessary and healthy as long as it suits the crime, is explained, and the timing is correct. - Ciara Gives Future A Serious Strip Tease In The 'Body Party' Video
I liked it. I hope the sudden reappearance of Jazzy Pha means he will be willing to help give Ciara another Hit album. I'm ready for her to take it back to the goodies days, nonstop hits.

By Arthur H. Gunther III
Remember the TV pitchman who wanted to sell you "unbelievably inexpensive" land in Florida? Standing before a blown-up, wondrous picture of the golden opportunity, his body obscured ever-sinking swampland. So, a sucker is born every minute. In my part of the universe, that's been happening since at least 1950.
When I was a young fellow in Spring Valley, N.Y., then still a 5,000-person country village, the push was on for post-World War II suburban housing. One of the first developments to rise was the Valley View Estates, pre-fabricated two-bedroom ranch homes off Union Road at $9,990 per. The group of perhaps 50 homes quickly became known as "Sunken View Estates" since they "rose" on a floodplain only to have their bottoms sink into the natural flood waters of the Pascack Brook, a major tributary of the great Hackensack River running from Rockland County's mountains into New Jersey. Many municipalities are along its route.
Bad place to build -- my father could have told village and Town of Ramapo "planners" that, as could anyone else who ice skated on the marshland in the 1930s. But in the early 1950s, and from then on for perhaps evermore, land speculators often sold municipal officials a bill of goods, promising tax ratables. Sure, culverts were installed at Sunken View to run some of the water off, and those worked until the next big storm, which in the day were not as frequent as they now are. But quickly enough, more development was added, filling in additional floodplain along the Pascack. Today, construction along Union Road includes many hundreds of units, including apartment houses, schools and multi-family dwellings. And flooding continues unabated in a village with a population now of about 32,000. Why was so much more growth allowed in this area?
The flooding goes on despite very expensive "mitigation," including a wider bridge over the Pascack that took years to build. The next sucker punch will hit all taxpayers in Rockland, not just those in Ramapo and Spring Valley, who will pay for even more flood "control" after authorization by the County Legislature to borrow $10 million. The hope is that at least 80 homes will be spared frequent flooding. That's about $125,000 per house. Perhaps instead the money should be offered as a buyout for the most seriously affected homes and at least part of the land restored to what nature intended.
The only true "mitigation" along this area of the Pascack, already compromised both upstream and downstream in two states by other unwarranted, ill-advised development, is to return the land for a floodplain.
Not going to happen. Instead, the taxpayer, which could include federal ones at some point, will be on the hook to bail out those who should never have bought in floodplains; to remove any responsibility from developers who should not have built there; and to absolve municipal planners who don't even visit floodplains before construction approval is given.
I bet, too, that there will be even more construction is this heavily populated area.
Ah, a sucker is born every minute, and the clock is ticking.

16. | Breakdown | ||
Basically the best part of a song. Usually found in genres such as Death metal, Grindcore and Trash Metal. This part of the song usually incorporates the guitar player hammering on a single note in a heavy pattern, sometimes along with the bass and the snare drum. "Holy shit dude.. did you see Born of Osiris last night?"
"Fuck yeah man.. the breakdown in Open arms to Damnation was fucking insane!!" |
1. | breakdown | ||
Considered the most brutal section of a metal/metalcore/hardcore song. The breakdown is characterized by a beat much slower than the main verses and chorus of a song, the primary ingredients being a steady beat from the drums (with lots of cymbal and sometimes double-bass) and a chugging rhythm from the guitar.
Originally developed by Atilla the Hun, the breakdown had it's place in warfare for many years. That was, until people began to notice that the Earth's human and animal population had begun to decrease exponentially from direct exposure to breakdowns. Other health complications also arose from indirect exposure such as 4th degree burns, the introduction of the Ebola virus, and terminal bleeding of the ears. For many centuries, the breakdown was outlawed in civilized nations, at least until war broke out in Europe in the late 1930's. It was used primarily by the axis powers during WWII to rip the faces off of the allies during an approach. When Hitler got word that Nazi forces were using "the breakdown" against the enemy, he called it off saying "No way man, that's too fucking brutal." It's also a proven historical fact that the atomic bomb explosions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were staged by the U.S. government. Instead, the government had agreed to blast two very metal breakdowns over the Japanese cities. Knowing that the American public would not condone their actions, there was a big cover up involving the use of atomic weapons. The breakdow... |
2. | Breakdown | ||
A style of guitar riff used in Hardcore (punk) music that consists of a single note being chugged slowly for maximum heaviness and brutality. Different rhythms and numbers of strums are used in a repeated fashion for usually 2 to 4 bars in length. Written equilivent: JUD-JUD, JUD-JUD, JUDJUDJUDJUD, JUD-JUD, JUD-JUD ...and so forth.
Great for hardcore dancing. That's a fucking brutal breakdown!
3. | breakdown | ||
if music were sex, the breakdown would be the orgasm. breakdown clias;dsd why do i have to write a fucking example
4. | breakdown | ||
The part in a song (usually associated with Hardcore, Metal, and Metalcore music genres) where the music becomes heavy and rythmic. Usually has a brutal sound to it and is the perfect music to open a pit or dance to. Breakdowns are what makes hardcore. The singer also usually sings a line or two of memorable lyrics, and then repeats them until the breakdown is over. Open this shit up, the breakdown is coming!
Did you see Steven dancing to that breakdown? |
5. | Breakdown | ||
The reason my neck is in a brace right now. Dude were you at August burns red's concert last night?
Yeah man, on the 3rd breakdown of back burner, i was run over in a mosh pit. but it was fucking worth it cause breakdowns are fucking sick. |
6. | breakdown | ||
Sections of hardcore / metalcore / deathcore songs which are rhythmically appropriate for most forms of hardcore dancing (mosh), but not appropriate for two-stepping. In order to be rhythmically appropriate, the music must conform to the following requirements: 1. Tempo: Breakdowns are characterized by tempos in the 65 bpm - 70 bpm range, but also spanning from 50 bpm (double breakdown), to 90 bpm (fast breakdown / stomp breakdown). 2. Content: Breakdowns are further characterized by strong emphasis on rhythm, snares on the 2nd & 4th quarter notes, cymbals on either eighth notes or quarter notes, and kick drum patterns which accent the often staccato guitar playing. Many modifications to this formula can be made (displaced snares, melody), but these modifications tend to detract from the maximum impact of the breakdown. Because these two requirements must be satisfied, entire songs can be breakdowns, and do not need to contain any fast parts. As well, many slow sections of songs of these genres are not breakdowns, because they do not meet the content requirements. Pantera is generally recognized as the originator of the breakdown, as featured at approximately 3:52 of "Domination" off Cowboys from Hell. Today, this part of Domination would be recognized as an "old school" breakdown, and only the old timers would hardcore dance to it.
7. | breakdown | ||
A part of a hardcore song where one note is played repeatedly in a chugging-like beat. Though it sounds pretty hardcore and brutal, it is a shame that almost all of them sound the same. Breakdowns also start the hardcore dance, where the crowd flails their arms around and kicks their legs around. Maybe trying to hit somebody, maybe not. Either way, it looks stupid. Listen to A Day to Remember. Pretty much every breakdown is the same. It would be cooler if they played different breakdowns.

They voted to maintain current landing fees and to lower the rental rates by 8 percent by dipping into the organization's reserves.
In a separate action, the commissioners approved the 2012-13 budgets for all three of LAWA's airports - which includes money set aside for community relations and air service marketing - at a meeting at Los Angeles International Airport.
ONT's $63 million budget, however, did not include details on how much money will be allotted toward its air service marketing.
"We will come back to the board for approval of the air service marketing budget within the next 60 to 90 days. The board will review an amount to be spent, where it comes from and integrate it into a budget," said Jess Romo, airport manager for ONT.
In May, board members directed staffers and a consultant to continue to research marketing strategies and budget for ONT and come back with a report.
Depending on the recommendations, Romo said the board may have to amend ONT's budget to set aside new air service marketing funds. The monies could come from LAX's coffers, he said.
Ontario officials - who are fighting to regain control of ONT - say the airport has been hemorrhaging passengers due to poor management by its operator, which has neglected to market the medium-hub facility.
In 2005, LAWA spent between $2 million and $3 million marketing ONT's air service; in 2010, that figure was slashed to under $400,000.
As part of the budgets approved Monday, LAWA will set aside nearly $5 million next year between its three airports - ONT as well as Los Angeles International and Van Nuys airports - for advertising and community relations.
LAX will get a $4.6 million budget, which, unlike the other two LAWA airports, includes funds for its external affairs division, public relations, community relations and air service marketing, LAWA spokeswoman Mary Grady said.
The public and community relations budget for Van Nuys Airport, a general aviation facility, tops ONT's budget with $186,000 for the next fiscal year.
Romo said there are several reasons that ONT's community relations budget is only $142,000.
At Van Nuys, the community relations division helps sponsor two major events and has a larger chamber of commerce membership base than ONT, he said.
But Romo said he has worked on trimming that budget in the past couple of years.
Also Monday, there was a slight adjustment to ONT's landing fees and terminal rents.
ONT operates using a residual model in which fees and rental rates are based on recovering the difference between the full costs of operating and revenues received at the airport.
Landing fees will remain at $2.32 per 1,000 pounds of weight landed.
"Ontario's landing fees remain competitive within the region - the second lowest landing fee in the region," said Ryan Yakubik, director of capital development and budget for LAWA.
Yakubik said the lowest in the region is Burbank Airport.
The terminal rental rate at ONT will go from $156.38 per square foot to $144.11 per square foot, a decrease of 8 percent.
Yakubik credits the decrease in the terminal rental rates to the agency's decision to tap into its reserves.
In the next two years, LAWA will use $5 million of its reserves to stabilize the terminal rental rates at ONT, he said.
"The release of these reserves decreases the costs to the airlines," he said.
LAWA will use $2.2 million this year and the remaining $2.8 million in 2013, Yakubik said.
"The airport and airlines were pleased with the proposed rates for next fiscal year since there was a significant terminal rental rate decrease, and the landing fees stayed the same," Romo said.

Waterford Township officials are considering entering into a deal to lease township property to an oil and gas company.
Discussion about the lease — as presented by Traverse City-based Jordan Development Co. — will appear on the Feb. 25 township board agenda.
The deal was approved in 2012 but not signed by then-Supervisor Carl Solden because it was an election year.
Jordan Vice President Ben Brower met with the board Monday to explain the company's proposal, but no action was taken.
"We would have no rights to touch property," Brower said.
The company would do seismic testing first.
"We do have quite a few leases in Waterford and we are looking for township lands to fill in our units," he said.
Waterford owns 204 parcels totaling 650 acres of land, said township officials.
The state requires a company have a minimum of 40 leased acres in order to drill, Brower said.
Jordan would pay $74,377 to the township for the leasing rights.
"Everything they showed us looked good," said Waterford Township Supervisor Gary Wall, "and very safe and in the best interest to us."
The oil company has leased more than 30,000 acres in Oakland County, Brower said. The company does not plan on fracking, Brower stated. Fracking is a controversial method of mining in which cracks are created in shale rock to obtain gas, oil or other substances that are inside it.
One oil well has been drilled in Indian Springs Metropark in White Lake, and a second currently is being drilled there, said Brower.
"We don't say right away if we have found oil," he said. Eventually the company must report its findings to the state Department of Natural Resources.
Ground surface conditions impact drilling.
"We like to be out in mid-summer or mid-winter when the ground is solid," Brower said.
He noted natural gas is not very valuable. "We aren't looking for gas," he said. "We're hoping for oil."
Down the road Waterford residents could see a well being drilled in the township, he said.
"It depends on how good the (Indian Springs) well is," Brower said.
Contact Carol Hopkins at 248-745-4645 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @OPCarolHopkins or on Facebook @OPcarolhopkins.

What happened to quality control. And I have to pay for the shipping for the exhange!?!? How is this "we want you to be satisfied?"

good quality - need to order a size down
By Elaine
from James Creek, PA
If I keep the product I will have to order a size smaller - I think it would look really good with jeans but I would have to wear a cami underneath and with the warm weather coming would prefer not to have to do that - the picture in the catalog makes the top look so casual but when I got it and tried it on it looked so formal. I'm always looking for 3/4 length sleeve tops and can't make up my mind about this one.
I really like it
from California
Perfect for my trip to India.
Lovely top with beautiful lines
By Agnes Gooch
from Houston, TX
I loved every feature about this top, but in my opinion the white fabric was too sheer without the use of a cami. The use of a cami would defeat my purpose for a cool, comfy top in the hot, humid south. Sorry I have to return.
Not impressed.
By Cindy
from Houston
I was not impressed with this item. Fabric too thin and didn't fit quite right. I returned it.

I almost did it myself. I was listening to "King Contrary Man" from The Cult's Electric, through Phonak Audéo PFE 232 in-ear headphones while sitting in a 757 somewhere over Colorado, trying to get an idea of how well Phonak's PerfectFit design blocks out airplane noise. In the rather primordial bars that follow the guitar solo, I noticed that singer Ian Astbury's yelps, which are nearly buried in the bombast, come in a few beats earlier than I'd previously thought. Somehow, even though I've been listening to Electric since its 1987 release, I'd missed this detail. And for just a fleeting moment, I thought:
"Wow, through these headphones, I'm hearing things in my favorite music that I never heard before!"
If you've read a lot of audio reviews, you've surely read many similar sentences. Seems like a strong testament to an audio product's quality, doesn't it? The ability to find new sonic attributes and events in the music you've owned for years makes buying almost any piece of fancy audio gear appear to be an economically and aesthetically prudent decision.
But I can tell you how to get the same experience for free. Here's how you do it:
1) Put on a recording you're familiar with but haven't heard in a year or two.
2) Listen intently, focusing on something that normally wouldn't grab your attention, like the bass, rhythm guitar, or piano accompaniment.
You noticed some detail or subtlety you never heard before, didn't you? Want to do it again? If your system has tone controls, turn up the treble a few notches and repeat step 2, perhaps focusing on snare drum, hi-hat, or acoustic guitar. Once more, you'll notice something you never heard before.
Hearing things you never previously noticed in a recording could indeed indicate that the audio system you're listening to is a good one. Certainly, a set of good speakers driven by high-quality electronics will let you hear more of the details in a piece of music than, say, an iPod dock would.
But with any recording of musical instruments played by humans — and especially of wind and string instruments, which tend to be more expressive and less conducive to perfect performances than, say, electronic keyboards are — there are so many subtleties present that you could listen for years and keep hearing new things, even through the same audio system. Plus, the more you learn about audio, music, and recording, the more your brain will be able to "decode" what it's hearing, and the more new things you'll notice. I still occasionally hear new things in Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," more than four decades after I first heard it and three-and-a-half decades after I learned to play it on guitar.
Hearing things you never noticed before can even indicate that you're listening to a bad audio product. If your new system boosts one part of the audio spectrum, it'll bring certain instruments to the fore, and you'll hear subtleties in the performance that you never noticed. It'll be fun for a little while, but the sound won't be natural and you'll probably start to hate it. And I bet that even if you return to the system you were using before, you'll still hear that little subtlety you'd previously missed.
So while it's nice to hear things in your favorite music that you never heard before, such an event is not a reliable indicator of the quality of an audio product. It's a built-in feature of the world's first audio processor: the brain. Fortunately, you get one for free.
Wow, there's three minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Weight Reduction and Space Savings in Wire and Cable Design and Their Contribution to Aerospace Design and Operational Efficiency
Like every other military and aerospace component, wire and cable is under increased scrutiny as engineers look for weight and space savings in their designs. This is particularly true given the increasing amounts of data and coaxial cable needed to support advanced electronic systems.
Data Cabling for Today's and Tomorrow's Aircraft Abstract
As more advanced avionics, CMS and IFE systems make their way into aircraft, the amount of 10 gigabit cable deployed to support current and future systems is increasing significantly. Unfortunately, the pathway space remains the same.
Engineers in the aerospace industry therefore need cables that meet highly reliable 10 gigabit signal transmission performance, while also taking up less space, lowering the total cable weight and providing installable performance irrespective of the tight pathways of an aircraft.

Older Americans Less LIkely to Report Fraud
By: Lindsey Bryant
Updated: February 19, 2013
And studies by AARP show that many consumer fraud victims actually put themselves at risk by not taking the steps to protect themselves. Our financial guru Gary Garrison joins us with ways to avoid being ripped off.
1. Never give personal or account information to anyone who contacts you--that means social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers...if you wouldn't put the number on a billboard, don't give it to people who call or email you, no matter who they say they are.
2. Never pay for services before a job is finished to your satisfaction--this applies to home repair or improvement projects especially. If you encounter a person who goes door-to-door soliciting driveway or roof repair, don't give them advance payment. The dishonest ones often ask for partial payment up-front, calling it a deposit, then disappear with your money.
3. Sign up for the national "do not call" list--this is good to do regardless of your age; it's critical that you protect yourself from telemarketing scams. If you haven't signed up for the list yet, go to do not call dot gov and take this easy protective step.
4. Always check credentials of anyone who approaches you trying to sell something-- ask the person for references and check with the Better Business Bureau or the state attorney general's office before doing business with them. If they're legitimate they won't mind waiting while you do your homework.
