The Bungalow Lakehouse
Always an enjoyable place for dinner. Food and service were excellent.
My son and I went here for the first time. Brent, our server, was very attentive and personable. The food selection was good. Ambiance was a bit outdated. We got the pot stickers which were delicious. The entrees, Chicken Picata and Steak & Cheese, were nothing to write home about. Fairly bland. We did not order dessert as a result. Price for those 3 things, no drinks, was $50.
We had a great st Patrick 's day dinner. It was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. And not too loud for us to all talk.
server was great. Food was solid. Dining room smells like cigar smoke
From the minute we arrived, service was as expected, excellent. Our server was exceptional and made sure our dinner was enjoyed. We were not rushed at all and was able to sit, relax and enjoy our dinners and just talking with friends. I do have to say though although that we were sitting at the large corner booth near the double door and it was very cold sitting there. Almost ate with my coat on. Next time will request a booth or table further back into the room.
My wife and I both had a bowl of gumbo and I have to say, this was the best gumbo I have had outside of New Orleans. Most people don't spice it nearly enough and leave it bland and disappointing. That is not the case here, this was spiced almost perfectly and was absolutely delicious. I followed that up with scallops and my wife had salmon. Both dishes were cooked properly and tasted very good, the side vegetables were also a nice compliment. Overall they did a very nice job, start to finish.
Tried it for the first time for a Valentine's date. I have to be gluten free and their GF menu was extremely limited. I was excited to splurge and order the filet, but it came out dry and flavorless - without any seasoning at all - not even butter, salt and pepper, and the same with the asparagus. Gluten free doesn't have to be flavor and sauce free! After asking the waitress who wasn't sure if I had options, the manager stopped by and was kind enough to bring me the one sauce option that was safe, but at that pojnt, my filet was cool, and quite dry. The waitress was sweet, but not knowledgeable about GF options and seemed overwhelmed. I saw the regular menu, there were so many options that could have been easily adjusted to be GF! After spending a significant amount of money, we were not impressed.
As soon as we walked in we were hit with an overwhelming smell of cigarettes. It was inescapable even in the dining room. Average dining experience but based on the smell alone we won't be back.
Valentines Day Dinner
Wish the cigar lounge was bigger - but other than that - the food & service was awesome!
Valentines Day dinner was great! Went early. Very quiet. Staff was very attentive and accommodating. Thanks for a great evening!
I ordered a second drink and it was never delivered. I requested a booth table and the hostess said they were all reserved and they clearly were not as there were two empty booth tables the entire time we were there.
Always reliable food and service, always a positive experience. Only recommendation would be to revamp the dessert selections. They no longer serve the banana split. When we asked our server why, she said she was not sure as it was always popular.
Everything was spot on and my bison burger was perfectly cooked and delicious .
Yes, I would highly recommend the Bungalow as a nice get away for groups looking for a pleasant and quiet place to meet and enjoy a great meal. Thank you for the service and smiles. :)
One of the best steaks of my life.
We arrived early, so we were alone. The food was very good and the staff were friendly.
Had a reservation for 9:15. Get there and the host tells us they are closing down but we can go in the noisy sports bar section and order. No thanks we came to talk and have dinner. We went in the restuarant bar section anyway. Matt the bar tender said we were welcome to grab a both and he would serve us. He did a great job. Saved the night
The dining room staff was excellent. Samantha was our server and she was great. The other major bonus is the place has an excellent sports bar and a separate cigar bar as well besides the main dining. Real gem
We arrived just after a larger group was seated in another room. Our waiter disappeared for periods of time, I assume to help with the larger group. The waiter lost sight of our drinks needing refreshed and we had to approach the hostess to ask for our check. We arrive early- 12210 for our 1230 reservation and were seated promptly. We had a 2pm meeting and had to ask for the check to arrive on time. Our food did arrive quickly. Willing to give the place another try as I think the service was off due to the group, or being short of staff.
A very nice evening with friends at the BL. Hubs is hard to please & he was quite happy with the prime rib. I had the cheese quesadilla with salsa & guacamole - really tasty & the leftovers the next day were even more flavorful.
Others at the table had the tuna & raved about how nicely it was done.
It's a bit of a trek for us - 20 minute drive instead of the 5 minutes to Reston Town Center, but totally worth it at least a few times a year.
Good food, attentive service & nice ambiance - we'll be back.
It was my first time visiting The Bungalow Lake house. Friends recommended it to me and since we were looking for a place to celebrate the New Year's holiday, I made a reservation. I did not know what to expect-My friends told me that the pizzas were delicious, the drink menu extensive, and that they had a vegetarian options on their menu. That was important to me since I am a vegetarian. I ordered the Tuscan veggie wrap (any sandwich can be made into a wrap) and had a side of sweet potato fries. My meal was excellent. My friends (none of whom are vegetarians) enjoyed their meals as much as I did. The atmosphere was equally as good as the food. Weather we were eating in the "main" dining section, or sipping drinks at the bar, everything was perfect, from the decor, to the lighting, and everything in between. The night of our reservation, there was a DJ and a New Year's balloon drop. My husband and I are planning to come back in September to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We are planning to sit on the terrace and enjoy the lovely lake front view when the temperature is a bit warmer. My friends recommended The Bungalow Lake House to me. I now know why. After my first visit, I already recommended it to others.
Went to this restaurant for New Years Eve dinner. Overall a very good experience. Server was outstanding and very attentive. Prices were affordable despite it being a holiday. The happy hour menu was available despite it being. Holiday. Good restaurant with good service.
Excellent service, excellent food as always
This was our first time dining at The Bungalow Lakehouse and we will definitely be back!
There were numerous patrons. Food came out quickly and hot. 4 star is only because I only had appetizers, soup, and salad.
Servers were particularly patient with members of our group of 7 showing up at different times and staying a long time. Very nice for large group. Choices for everyone. Nice presentation and tasty.
First time to dine here and we were very pleased. I had the Salmon with risotto and was fantastic. My wife had the seafood Alfredo, my son had the crab cake entree and my daughter had the burger. All were thoroughly enjoyed. We'll definitely dine here again:
The food is consistently wonderful and the service attentive without being intrusive. Will return again and again!
Went away for a week and was so glad to get back there for some great food!
This restaurant came highly recommended because of the outdoor seating. It was October when we visited so we sat inside. It was quite noisy. The waiter was very nice and was trying but was very busy. I had to ask for the same requests several times. The food was good but I thought overpriced for what we ordered. I'm sure it's lovely sitting outside on the patio in warmer weather but we sat inside and the decor was extremely outdated and the restaurant was very dark. We will probably try it again when we can enjoy some cocktails out on the patio and give this place a second chance
Great food, great atmosphere and wonderful service
Food was FANTASTIC. Decor nice, but I don't prefer big screen TVs. Would love quiet atmosphere. Servers mostly friendly, but busy. We had to request service numerous times. Great manager...friendly, humble...brought our food to the table and served us several times. If you want excellent food at great prices and can tolerate TVs, worth a try, for sure!
A group of work ladies enjoying lunch. We chose to sit outside on the back porch, which was perfect. Not sure how it would be at night with people smoking on the other end. The inside bar area is very large with pool tables, darts and several tv's. There is a nicer indoor seating area that would be nice for a more formal setting away from the bar.
We found this restaurant on open table after a long day of travel with my mom and husband Taking a chance we drove the four miles from our hotel for dinner. We were seated in the bar which was ok with us. We had Filet Mignon with asparagus and mashed potoatoes. A perfect meal! My husband had a burger which was good and Spring Rolls. The waiter was excellent and even gave us a complimentary dessert to take back to the hotel with us.
Would highly recommend this place!
My wife and I visited from New Jersey for our anniversary. Great food with outstanding service, amazing ambiance and just an all around great restaurant.
Fun lunch with excellent mussels! Worth the trip. We had a nice quiet talk without distraction. Comfy seats.
Outstanding food and patio seating with a scenic lake view.
Excellent service while sitting outside overlooking water on a nice night. Food was very good, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. First time here, will not be the last. Check it out.
All food except wings, which were excellent, was totally average.

Is this a straw man?
Shadow - many of us appreciate your looking at this side of this extremely "hot" issue.
I won't go into details, anyone who "knows" me knows already, but my husband will soon be uninsured.
We do not qualify for assistance with his medications because of our HUGE combined income. We attempted to purchase private insurance and they REFUSED - several companies not just one or two.
So, do we buy these medications, or do we pay to keep a roof over our heads? They come to about $1300 a month. Does not include doctor visits or lab tests or anything other than prescription medications.
We live very simply - not beyond our means at all. Drive two old, paid for cars, and have a simple small house with a payment that is no more than the average rent in our county.
The uninsured aspect is not his fault -nor can his illness' be chalked up to having "brought it all on himself" - nor am I sure it would matter if he had.
He worked his way through college from 18 until he was 23 or so while paying off his mom's home because his dad died young. Worked all his life and did everything right by the book (according to the commentors here)but still wound up in this predicament.
Some folks have no compassion - no empathy - and for whatever reason are just plain bitter. Whether it be because they have never had to struggle with adversity, or just simply because they have a 'big head' and think it could never happen to them, there is no reasoning with folk like that.
And in case anyone wonders - I am about as non-liberal as they come down here in my little southern world. I'm not even sure I am proud to say I have been a republican most of my life, because it seems to me now, that the very party I have supported is the very one willing to let us fall between those cracks some of you refuse to admit exist.

(CNN) -- Big-spending English Premier League club Manchester City have completed the much-anticipated signing of Argentina international Carlos Tevez.
Carlos Tevez faces competiton from seven other forwards in Manchester City's first-team squad.
The 25-year-old was presented to the media on Tuesday afternoon ahead of City's departure the following day for a three-match pre-season tour of South Africa.
City revealed on Monday night that the striker has agreed a five-year contract and would complete his move from bitter rivals Manchester United after passing a medical.
A fee for the transfer has not yet been revealed, but it is reported that City have agreed to pay about $40 million to take over the player's ownership rights from the sports agencies which previously held them.
Tevez denied claims by his former manager Alex Ferguson that he had decided to leave Old Trafford as long ago as January.
Ferguson also said that he had offered the player a new contract on the night United played Inter Milan in the Champions League in March, but Tevez did not return his calls or text messages.
"I was there for two years and Sir Alex never called or sent any text messages in that time," Tevez told reporters through an interpreter.
"The only time he spoke to me was after the Champions League final in Rome when I was going back to Argentina. It doesn't seem that this is the way to treat a player in two years at the club. It doesn't seem there is a line of communication.
"It is United people talking about signing a contract (in January) but it is not true that it was decided then. I felt Sir Alex Ferguson and (United chief executive) David Gill did not do enough to try to keep me.
"The fact I did not stay at United was not because of the fans. They must understand a part of my heart will always be with them. They were always extremely supportive, even when I wasn't playing."
City manager Mark Hughes confirmed that the club had been in contact with Arsenal over a move for Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who has been linked with a $40 million move to Eastlands.
"I think there's been discussions between ourselves and Arsenal but, as is my usual response about players that we haven't signed, really it's not the right time or place to discuss that -- only in as much as yes, there has been contact," Hughes told reporters.
"There's a deal to be done, possibly, but it's not been concluded as we speak. Until it actually happens, really it's not the time or the place to discuss it here."
The Mancunians have also made a huge offer for Chelsea captain John Terry, but the London club have insisted that the England defender is not for sale.
"I have fantastic respect for John Terry, ever since I saw him as a young player when I was at Chelsea as a player myself," Hughes said.
"He's a great player and an outstanding captain. But he's very much a Chelsea player at this moment in time. I think any manager would covet a player of the type of John Terry, but at this moment in time he's a player for Chelsea, so we have to respect that."
The high-profile capture of Tevez is a big boost for the club and its billionaire Abu Dhabi-based owner, who was forced to end his long-running bid to sign Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.
The Cameroon international, who had been offered a reported $400,000 a week wages, stalled on the move after being offered a new deal by the European champions, with some papers claiming he wanted a big chunk of any transfer fee paid by City.
If Hughes does also sign Adebayor then the Welshman will have nine strikers at his disposal.
The former Manchester United forward already has new $30 million signing Roque Santa Cruz, January's $23 million acquisition Craig Bellamy and Brazil star Robinho -- who arrived a year ago in a British-record $58 million coup.
Felipe Caicedo, Valeri Bojinov, Benjani Mwaruwari and Ched Evans have also been given shirt numbers -- Tevez will wear No. 32 -- in a 57-strong squad named ahead of the new season.
Hughes has released former England international striker Darius Vassell, while England Under-20 forward Daniel Sturridge has joined Chelsea for a fee to be resolved by a tribunal.
Tevez scored 19 goals in 63 appearances for Premier League champions United after joining from West Ham, who he controversially saved from relegation despite a furor over his part-ownership with agent Kia Joorabchian's MSI Group.
He has won 50 international caps, and has recently returned from holidays following Argentina's latest World Cup qualifiers.
Tevez, who has won an Olympic gold medal, is the only man to be named South American Player of the Year in three successive seasons.

A big welcome to today's guest author, Anne K. Albert.
A: Nothing makes me happier than a book with a murder to solve, a hero who will give his life to protect the heroine, and a happily-ever-after. I write and read books that chill the spine, warm the heart and soothe the soul…all with a touch of humor.
Q: How long does it take you to complete a novel? How many drafts do you go through?
A: Without interruptions, I can write the first draft of a novel in about six to eight weeks. However, since the release of my debut novel, it's been difficult to find any time to write. Most of my days and nights are spent online tackling social media.
As to number of drafts, edits and full revisions I do, I refuse to count! It could easily be 15. Maybe more. I joke I just do it until my eyes bleed. (It's a horrid image, my apologies, but my eyes really do hurt!)
Q: Do you plot out your story ahead of time, or do you think it up as you go?
A: I'm a seat-of-the-pants writer which means I just go. I have no idea what will happen from one sentence to the next until I write it down. That said, I write in chronological order, so the beginning has to 'feel' just right before I move on to the rest of the book. I will often write 10-20 first scenes (all variations of each other) before I hit upon the right one. This process used to drive me crazy, but I've learned that's just the way I write. Still, if I could find a better (easier) way to write I'd adopt it in a heartbeat.
Q: After becoming a published author, what surprised you the most?
A: The majority of promotion and marketing these days falls onto the author's lap. I had no idea how time consuming it could be, or that it would distract from my actual writing. As a result, I'm behind deadline. That's the downside of blogging, tweeting and sharing on Facebook.
Equally surprising, however, are the perks of social media. I've met some wonderful people online who have become friends. What a gift!
Q: What's the most important piece of advice you would give to a fledgling writer?
A: Write. Write often. Finish what you write. Treat writing as a job (because it is). Be open to new ideas, suggestions, and ways of doing things. And never, ever give up.
Q: What do you think about writing contests? Have you participated in any? What's the benefit to an unpublished writer?
A: Writing contests are a superb training ground for the unpubbed writer. I entered my first contest shortly after I joined RWA, and like most newbies expected to win. My scores, however, put me at the bottom of the heap. (I ranked #98 of 100 entries.) I was devastated, but the judges explained why I scored so low. I worked hard to follow their advice, and entered more contests. Slowly, (as in years not months!) I moved up the ranks, became a finalist and eventually the winner. Contests are a great opportunity for an unpubbed writer to get feedback and build writing credits. Winning a contest can move you out of the slush pile and onto an editor or agent's desk. I highly recommend entering contests as well as judging contests. Sometimes it's easier to see what not to do in someone else's work!
Q: There's been a lot said about the future of publishing and the possible death of the print book. What's your take on eBooks, self-publishing, and such?
A: The publishing world is changing, but then, so is the world and humans by nature resist change. Libraries were once filled with papyrus scrolls and stone tablets. The invention of the printing press did not make libraries obsolete, it just make reading more accessible to people regardless of their wealth or rank. I believe eBooks and self-publishing will achieve a similar positive result. Statistics indicate book sales increase with the purchase of an e-reader, plus readers around the globe can download a book (even mine!) in seconds. It's an exciting time to be a writer.

PHS alum Gilley represents Manchester at NCAA Career in Sports Forum
NORTH MANCHESTER — Plymouth alum Kara Gilley is hoping an experience she had last month leads to benefits in her post-collegiate pursuits.
Gilley, along with fellow Manchester University senior Eric Courter represented her school at the NCAA's Career in Sports Forum from June 8 to 11 at the Downtown Marriott in Indianapolis. They were among nearly 300 student-athletes selected for invitation to the forum by a committee made up of administrators from member institutions, conference offices and affiliate member organizations.
The event focused on assisting student-athletes with making successful transitions from competition to their future professions in intercollegiate athletics, according to the NCAA.org web site.
"So many people at (the Career in Sports Forum) were athletes who were doing such amazing internships and other volunteer experiences related to their fields," Gilley, a player on the Spartans' women's tennis squad, said. "It made me want to start looking for ways I can reach that caliber of experience."
"It was neat to see so many different athletes there from shot put throwers to soccer players and almost everything in between," Courter, a player on the MU football team, said. "That common feel made it easy to communicate and relate with anyone."
The forum brought sports professionals together to discuss their career paths and to present a variety of topics ranging from nontraditional careers in athletics to best practices in athletics administration, personal and professional branding and human resource hiring processes. There were also team sessions where student-athletes were divided into groups to discuss the issues and take leadership roles among their peers.
"We had a day in which we worked with values and personal mission goals and how that can help us with an interview or how to incorporate those into working a job in athletics," she said. "We spent a day filled with interviews and proper ways to conduct ourselves in interviews, not only with professionals in NCAA athletics but also our peers who can at times be the hardest ones to communicate with. We also spent some time talking about our next steps.
"There were some many speakers and individuals we had the chance to network with, too," she added.
Courter pointed to a speech from NCAA president Dr. Mark Emmert as one of his highlights.
"He talked about the chain in athletics from being a student-athlete to an athletic director on a campus," he said. "I had never thought about how many people were involved in that process. It was interesting to think about."

Setting The Record Straight, The Misconceptions Of ET Abductions And Religious Superstitions
Primary tabs
I have been a UFO, paranormal, strange phenomena researcher and investigator for decades, having had many experiences in this genre from sightings of many strange objects; a Sasquatch sighting, aura visions, and a vast array of paranormal encounters of my own. As far as the extraterrestrial experience in general and abductions as they are called in particular goes, I find that many in this business are misguided. They make fantastic claims for personal monitory gains, come to the table with preordained ideas which are clouded by their personal belief systems, and above all a lack of understanding of the visitor phenomena.
For instance, we can examine the abduction experience. Many consider those who abduct them as evil, demonic, and lacking in any compassion. Such bad experiences stem from fear and the core belief system of the individual being abducted and have nothing to do with the extraterrestrials who contacted them or the nucleus of the abduction itself.
We must first consider the intelligence level of those who conduct the abductions. These beings are thousands and perhaps millions of years advanced from our own human civilization. Thus, similar to we humans experimenting on animals here on earth for research. We do not first, try to assure the animal that our intentions are good, or ask their permission, because from our standpoint it would be foolish and unnecessary. This is exactly the mindset of the visitors, as to them we are a lower species.
The visitors we consider the Grays because of color and their insect like appearance, aren't really Grays at all but beings that have evolutionized beyond that of a physical form to one of pure spirit and thought. They can appear as a multitude of different beings such as angels, demons, the traditional gray, an elf, fairy, etc. at will. The image they appear as, simply depends on a particular human's ideal system.
All bad experiences with these beings, stems from the subconscious mind of the person being contacted. Some report medical procedures, unwanted sexual experiments, and even torture. Such scenarios are born from the mind of the person and not the experience itself. Hidden trauma is locked away in the minds of many humans in a multitude of forms from sexual abuse to a traumatizing event that may have happened which the mind wanted forgotten by burying the event deep within the subconscious. However, all will surface when contact is made because our greatest fears will be initiated by the contact itself. This is so, because the visitors want the greatest fears of the subject's mind to surface so they can be faced and eliminated. Only at this point can enlightenment be realized for spiritual growth.
Human psychology also practices this method by making patients face their greatest fears before they can conduct normal lives.
As I have said before, fear breeds procrastination which leads nowhere and doesn't accomplish anything.
Organized religion in general is the greatest obstacle standing in the way of spiritual enlightenment the human race has ever faced throughout history. It breeds prejudice by separating the masses in the name of a particular sect's God being the true Godhead above all else. Fear of the wrath from a particular God if the Dogmatic text of the particular religion isn't followed. As well as installs fear in the minds of followers who desire spiritual growth. I have said many times, one simply cannot be religious and spiritual as religion is nothing more than a method of control through fear. It is composed of adhering to specific religious texts, whereas spiritual enlightenment is realized from within on an individual basis from physical experiences and esoteric enlightenment and cannot be taught.
There are also the cults that disrupt the minds of their followers through fear in many ways. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Eckankar are such sects that use fear and intimidation to keep their flock together and from experiencing true spiritual enlightenment through realization.
The LDS church was formed in the mid 1800s, during a time when Americans were seeking higher spiritual knowledge. Both LDS founder Joseph Smith, Jr. and Paul Twitchell creator of Eckankar formed their ideal systems not from Divine Intervention but, from personal desires of power and inspirations of wealth.
Joseph Smith, Jr. based the whole LDS movement on a pair of golden plates he claimed to have found near his home in western New York. The golden plates have never been seen by anyone, the excuse for this is God decided to take them back. In this instance, the plates never existed anywhere except in the mind of Joseph Smith, Jr. himself. Thus, the LDS church was born from a nucleus of lies for the sole purpose of power, wealth, and control over the lives of its followers. In this case, sex was also used as a tool for recruiting new members in the early stages of the church. In the days when money was hard to come by for many the comfortable life of being literally being owned by one man who was guaranteed income from work created within the church was too inviting for many women, and of course for many men of that time the idea of legitimately having a Harem was Heaven itself.
No spiritual enlightenment here.
Then we have Paul Twitchell who formed Eckankar, The Ancient Science of Soul Travel (Eck) in the mid 1960s. Twitchell who seemed to be a jack of all trades, based this movement on Bio location, meaning out of body experiences. Eckankar basically evolved from Twitchell's study of the Teachings of Scientology and many religious and occult groups. Some of Twitchell's dogmatic doctrines were plagiarized from other religions.
Since Eckankar follows teachings from text, practices fear on its members by consequences to keep them in the flock, and have physical masters, followers must adhere to, no spiritual enlightenment should be expected here. What we have here, is another cult in the guise of a transcendental organization.
Eckankar members who claim to have had initiated out of body experiences suffer from delusional enlightenment, triggered by the desires of experiencing one and from the mind manipulation of their elders.
In the case of the practice of Eckankar and the extraterrestrial experience, the mind of the subject is a powerful tool. Some can even manifest physical injury or psychosomatic symptoms of illness. Such instances are nothing more than a self induced Stigmata.
We therefore must realize that any organized religion, cult, or movement, whether it be transcendental such as Yoga and any philosophical movement or that of organized religion cannot teach anyone spirituality. Spiritual enlightenment will only present itself on an individual basis, through personal experiences and visions and cannot be taught by anyone or learned from a text.
Those in the business of helping abductees with their bad experiences, only help the abducted to hide from the true nature of their experiences and hold them back from spiritual advancement. These people are also in business, and making money from unsuspecting individuals is their primary goal.
It's a Miracle!

A 1912 Craftsman-style apartment house in the process of being moved from a lot across from Echo Park Lake got tagged from nearly top to bottom. The giant tagging took place as the city considers slashing graffiti-removal funds by 50%. One Eastsider reader, who commented about the importance of those clean up funds, said:
"Graffiti clean up is to LA what snow removal is to NYC or Chicago."

Review: AVerMedia AVerDiGi EB1704HB WiFi-4
Page 1 of 3
AVerDiGi EB1704HB WiFi-4
Price: $1,599 (CMOS) or $2,599 (CCD)
Pros: Super-simple hardware installation; plug-and-play set-up; Web and mobile video viewers
Cons: No Pan-Tilt-Zoom over Wi-Fi; non-reconfigurable WLAN; motion recording problems
When we saw the AVerDiGi EB1704HB WiFi-4 at CES 2009 ShowStoppers, we were intrigued. At first glance, this plug-and-play Network Video Recorder (NVR) with four Wi-Fi cameras seemed to be ideal for no-frills-no-fuss video surveillance in homes, "mom and pop" shops, and small offices. But when we took the EB1704HB WiFi-4 home for a test drive, we encountered a few surprises that prevented this innovative bundle from realizing its full potential.
Snag-free installation
But don't declare victory just yet. Recording video requires you to install a SATA disk. We were surprised that a turn-key bundle didn't include storage, but adding your own drive does let you balance space vs. recording quality and cost (see calculator). Just insert a compatible HDD into the easily-accessible bay on the NVR's front panel. Recommended disks range from 250 to 750 GB; the $50 40 GB Seagate we used worked fine and took days to fill at "high" quality.
You don't have to run Ethernet cables to the included Wi-Fi cameras (although you can if you wish). You don't have to buy or connect analog video cameras (although four analog ports let you do so). You are, however, limited to no more than four (4) Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and/or analog cameras. And, when it comes to Wi-Fi cameras, we discovered that you must use those supplied with the NVR.
What you see is what you get
Bundled Wi-Fi differentiates this plug-and-play NVR from other AVerDiGi surveillance systems. Larger businesses can combine sibling NVRs like the EB1704HB DVD with a lengthy list of supported (non-Wi-Fi) cameras. But the entry-level EB1704HB Wi-Fi4 is paired your choice of two factory-configured Wi-Fi camera models: CCD or CMOS.
CCD cameras use charge coupled devices to capture and convert light into images, while CMOS cameras use less expensive (and less sensitive) complementary metal oxide semiconductors. CCD cameras usually render higher-quality images under varied lighting conditions, while CMOS cameras are more compact and power-efficient.
The CCD cameras supplied with the full-blown EB1704HB WiFi-4 ($2,599) appear to be bigger and better than the CMOS cameras included with our EB1704HB WiFi-4 "Lite" bundle ($1,599). In particular, the CCD bundle supports Day/Night Mode and Infrared Filteringfeatures that can be essential for after-hours surveillance. Unfortunately, the SerCom RC8020 cameras in our CMOS bundle (see right) lacked brightness or contrast controls. In afternoon or evening indoor light, they generated grainy images containing digital noise that appears to have triggered motion-based recording.
Both supplied camera models transmit dual MPEG4 and M-JPEG streams at rates up to 30 frames-per-second, with very respectable 640 x 480 max resolution. However, both camera models are fixed-focus. The EB1704HB NVR can send pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) commands, but only to IP or analog cameras actually that listen to PTZ protocols and use them to adjust position or focus. Since the NVR's integrated 802.11g AP connects only to the factory-configured Wi-Fi cameras, we found that there was no way to use pan-tilt-zoom during wireless surveillance.
Lack of wireless PTZ made the EB1704HB WiFi-4 less useful than we'd anticipated. According to AVerMedia, good PTZ Wi-Fi cameras are still too expensive for the average homeowner. Agreed but we believe that some would pay $200 apiece for PTZ-capable cameras, just as some will pay for more light-sensitive CCD cameras. Pre-configured Wi-Fi cameras are a big part of this bundle's charm, but an upgrade path would make the EB1704HB WiFi-4 a better investment.

Although many of are blown away by Nokia's HAAC (high amplitude audio capture) microphones, which allow their Lumia line to record distortion-free audio (think of a rock concert), there was always one drawback that you may not have known about: mono.
Yup, despite having three microphones on board, the device only processed in mono sound, meaning even though it was distortion free it was still a step behind.
We can now confirm that the Nokia Lumia 1020 fixes this by featuring full-stereo HAAC recording ability. What's more? It's part of the Pro Camera suite that other Lumia devices are expected to get, meaning your Lumia 92x can get stereo-recording in the near future.
After all, you have the hardware. Now, Microsoft and Nokia have fixed the software.

Scratchy-ery head thing-ery 20 Nov 2009 @ 17:56Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Gubmint, I'm callin' SHENANIGINS , comments closed
Just HAD to do it Darth….just had to do it.
Anyway, I digress. The following is a copy of an email that I got from American Solutions earlier this week that I just finished reading (yea, yea, yea I know, "earlier this week". Sue me, life has happened). American Solutions is a PAC/think tank that Newt Gingrich started in response to some recent events (namely that thing that was promised under the guise of "change"). I get emails from them whenever there is a significant goings-on inside the Beltway. Which means I've been getting them very frequently since last November.
Anywho. Check out what's covered in this email and then ask yourself, "WTF, and just WHO do these politicians think they are?"
Unemployment currently stands at 10.2%, the highest in a quarter-century. The stimulus failed and now even more people are out of work.
Rather than creating jobs, the $787 billion pork-filled spending bill has created more debt and more deficits that every American citizen has to pay for in the middle of a recession.
Implicitly acknowledging the failure of the stimulus, the Obama administration has now announced a "Jobs Summit" on December 3rd.
For an administration actively promoting the adoption of job killing health, energy, and labor legislation, holding a "Jobs Summit" is more theater while millions of Americans struggle to find work.
Consider the record of the job killing politicians:
They promised us that the $787 billion stimulus would keep unemployment below 8%, but unemployment has been above 8% since February.[1] They promised us the stimulus would "create immediate jobs,"[2] yet more than 4 million jobs have been "lost and dislocated" since President Obama signed it into law.[3] Without reading it, they rammed through a 1,400-page energy tax in the House,[4] which will cost each taxpayer thousands of dollars in higher energy costs and result in the loss of an estimated 1.1 million jobs per year.[5] Without reading it, they passed a 2,000-page tax and control bill in the House and called it "health care reform", which will lead to $557 billion[6] in higher taxes and a loss of millions of jobs. When faced with the failure to create jobs through the stimulus, they made up, yes made up, a new measurement of jobs "saved or created" that no economist takes seriously. As evidence of what they will do to deceive the public, they produced a "saved or created" report that invented congressional districts that do not exist as recipients of billions of taxpayer dollars[7] and distorted job creation numbers by tens of thousands, all to prove that th e stimulus is working.[8] David Obey (D-WI), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, even called this "outrageous" and described the mistakes as "ludicrous."[9]
This is the record of politicians who promise new jobs and then vote for job killing legislation, record deficits and excessive government control.
This week our General Chairman, Newt Gingrich, will be releasing an internal strategy memo outlining how we can stop these job-killing politicians before they cripple our economy for good and end America's global, economic, and political leadership. Speaker Gingrich will also outline a bold agenda for American job creation and prosperity.
We can't stop these job-killing politicians alone. We need your help. Thank you for fighting to save America.

Yes, I know. It's been a queen's age or some such cliché like that.
Life as they say, happens. (Yes, I know….another old cliché)
Needless to say the Generalette and I have been busy trying to fend off the zombie horde….and a few hunnert of them there leftards too!
Now as the Silly Season™ approacheth, we are not getting much in the way of rest. After all my duties as the General, I get to come home to performing a pair of computer core upgrades (with the commiserate hardware upgrades as well), purchasing a few needed upgrades to a household appliance or three, and then on Friday we are getting our roof replaced (thanks to Ike and a freak hail storm in July during our honeymoon) finally. After that is the required annual "cleaning of the ducts and chimney", but thankfully that's also being handled by the professional contractors. Then the Generalette gets to go ga-ga with her favorite season of the year. Yes, she has plans to turn the front yard into somethig akin to Clark W. Griswold's effort in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!! Pray I don't end up in the hospital with broken somethings….
Well, it looks like the computer core upgrade, episode 1 is ready for demolition. Off I go.
Standby for more soon. I hope.

Meetings: The third Wednesday of each month in the Clover building at the Boulder County Fairgrounds, 9595 Nelson Road.
Website: http://w0eno.org
What: The Boulder/Broomfield County Amateur Radio Emergency Services group's annual meeting
Date: Monday, Jan. 28
Time: Doors open at 5:30 p.m.; meeting begins at 6:30
Location: Boulder County Clerk & Recorder's office, 1750 33rd St. in Boulder
Open to: All current BCARES members and anyone else wanting to learn about the organization
LONGMONT -- Sebastian Wessels sat in his "Ham Shack" -- basically a children's playhouse in his yard he's converted to be the base for his amateur radio operations -- and tweaked a dial. Out of the speakers came two Japanese voices having a conversation with each other.
"The last guy I talked to was in Grenada," said Wessels, a South African native who has had his ham radio license since 1991. Then he still lived in his native land; he got an American license when he moved to the U.S. in 1996.
Wessels is a database administrator for IBM by trade and a self-described "ham," as ham radio operators call themselves. The tiny building he operates out of -- with a "Ham Shack" sign posted outside -- is jammed with all manner of hardware, cables and computer screens. One of those displays a computer program he has that tracks, automatically, all of the people all over the world he's talked to, and, when he communicates with someone new, brings up information on that person based on their call sign.
If the phrase "ham radio" seems like a blast from the past in this age of the Internet and smart phones, think again: According to the latest numbers from the National Association for Amateur Radio, there were 704,236 amateur radio license holders in the U.S. as of March 2012, an all-time high. That figure is up from 662,600 in 2005.
But is it a hobby that is being embraced by young people? That depends on who you talk to.
"We're having trouble getting them into it," said Jerry Schmidt, secretary of the Longmont Amateur Radio Club. "When I look back over my time, I was into amateur radio in 1963."
Of course, Schmidt is a few years older now, and his group is doing what it can to attract younger members, including attending Boy Scout gatherings to talk about the hobby. They do have a few offspring of LARC members who have expressed an interest as well, he said.
The Boulder Amateur Radio Club, on the other hand, has a program called BARC Juniors geared specifically toward youth ages 6 to 18. Ellie Van Winkle and her husband, "Rip," co-founded BARC Juniors after hearing a presentation many years ago given by young hams at the annual "Hamvention," the amateur radio convention held annually in Dayton, Ohio.
"They had a forum," Ellie Van Winkle said. "The children talked, not the adults. The children talked and said, 'This is what we do.'"
She was so inspired that upon returning to Boulder she and her husband launched the BARC Juniors program, which is now in its 21st year. Serving as "Elmers," ham radio's expression for teachers, or mentors, the couple have helped more than 200 young people get their amateur licenses over the years.
And membership in BARC Juniors has remained fairly consistent over the years, she said.
"We've been up to three dozen and we're at 24 now," Van Winkle said.
'Bragging rights'
Back at the Ham Shack, Wessels pursues his ham hobby DX-style, DX being a ham's term for long-distance communication.
He's a member of the American Radio Relay League's DX Century Club, meaning he's communicated with other hams in at least 100 other "entities."
"It's all about bragging rights," Wessels said. "It's not really countries."
In the world of DX, he explained, the U.S. actually consists of nine entities. There are 350 of them globally, and the goal of a DXer is to communicate with as many of these entities as possible, and the more remote the better.
DX Magazine puts out a list of the "most wanted" spots around the globe for Dxers. At No. 1 is North Korea. The No. 2 is a site within U.S. territory: Navassa Island, which is off the coast of Cuba. It's No. 2 because it's a fish and wildlife preserve, so hams -- and especially their antennas -- aren't exactly welcome.
"I really started the DX part of the (hobby), the distance part of this deal, about five years ago when we moved to this location," said Wessels, who lives just outside Longmont.
Ham radio operates on line-of-sight communication, and from inside his shack he directs his large antennae to a part of the globe he wants to talk to. Atmospheric conditions and whether he's beaming his signal over land or see can affect his signal strength, he said.
As a demonstration Wessels "worked" -- ham parlance for communicated with -- a German man who was broadcasting out of Belize.
He'd never worked that "call" -- short for call sign, all-important in the ham radio world -- before, so for Wessels it was another contact to add to the list. It was not such a big deal for the German guy, Wessels said, to talk with someone in Colorado, U.S.A.
"For him it's easy," Wessels said. "Everybody wants to talk to Belize; there's hardly anybody there. In the U.S., you have 700,000 people -- in Belize you have about 20 people."
The U.S. is second in the world in terms of ham licenses. Japan is No. 1 with about a million. There are about 2.5 million licensees globally.
'Public safety'
Schmidt loves ham radio for reasons completely different from Wessels'.
"I view the hobby more from a public safety standpoint," said Schmidt, whose activities with the board include making preparations for the group's annual LARCFest, which this year will be the first week of April.
He is also a member of BCARES. The Boulder/Broomfield County Amateur Radio Emergency Services group is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, and its upcoming annual meeting -- the only one all year -- is Jan. 28.
"The last (event) we did was the holiday parade (in Longmont)," Schmidt said. "We had six or eight hams out there along the parade route. If anything went crazy we could radio back to the leadership."
BCARES has antennas set up on the top of the Longmont Police station and Longmont United Hospital, and it has an antennae and a workspace inside the Boulder Office of Emergency Management.
"We have used them for everything from being our ears, or our communication, from a shelter site -- when we have a temporary shelter set up," said Merrie Leach, the emergency management coordinator with the Boulder OEM. "They would just be there to act as radio communication for the shelter site, because the Red Cross doesn't necessarily come with radios."
For example, during the Four Mile Fire, the Coors Events Center on the CU-Boulder campus was used as a shelter, and hams were able to let the OEM know when the shelter was getting full, or if items such as blankets or water needed to be delivered.
"They have video crews that can go out with cameras and let us know what's going on at a particular disaster site," Leach said. "Video is especially important.
"Last year they helped with siren testing. (It helped) having a group of trusted volunteers go out and say, 'OK, this is how they behaved.'"
The year after the Four Mile Fire, Allen Bishop, chairman of the BCARES board, founded MERN, the Mountain Emergency Radio Network, Schmidt said. As someone who lived in the Four Mile burn area, Bishop understood how important maintaining communications were during a such a horrific event, Schmidt said.
"In emergencies, you lose the infrastructure, and our goal, as a ham radio operator, is to be able to operate without the infrastructure," Schmidt said.
Added Leach, "It has increased (mountain) communities' and Boulder County's communications capacity so much that it has really made those mountain communities that much more resilient.
"As we talk to our colleagues in other areas (around the state) about that, we can really see how fortunate we are to have the relationships that we have with, really, all of the agencies and the organizations like (BCARES) around here."

Judge Declines To Punish Raw Milk Farmer
WORTHINGTON (AP) - A Minnesota judge won't punish a farmer for selling raw milk and violating his parole.
Michael Hartmann pleaded guilty to selling unpasteurized milk in 2012 and was given probation. But, he admitted in court that he continued to illegally sell raw milk.
Sibley County Assistant Attorney Don Lannoye prosecuted the case and is frustrated Hartmann won't be penalized. Lannoye says it takes away all the meaning from the original plea agreement.
State agriculture officials say other enforcement actions are pending against Hartmann, but declined to give specifics.
The Minnesota Department of Health in 2010 found that Hartmann's raw milk products sickened more than a dozen people.

New in the Massachusetts Historical Review
The 2009 issue of the Massachusetts Historical Review, published by the Massachusetts Historical Society (but not yet listed on the website), contains three hefty articles related to the Revolution and its local heritage. We can tell they uphold the highest standards of scholarship because all three titles include quotation marks.
First, J. Patrick Mullins examines the political fight between the Boston's most outspoken minister of the early 1760s and the new royal governor in "'A Kind of War, Tho' Hitherto an Un-Bloody One': Jonathan Mayhew, Francis Bernard and the Indian Affair." Compared to the huge political battles that would follow, those disputes seem as petty and hard to understand as a public argument over, oh, the President telling schoolchildren to study hard. But already we can see the sides forming.
Next, Neil Longley York (he of the Johnny Tremain study) offers "Rival Truths, Political Accommodations, and the Boston 'Massacre'." Legal trials are usually seen as attempts to settle the truth, York says, but in 1770 each of the two political camps interpreted the trials that followed the Massacre in its own way, cementing differences instead of erasing them.
Finally, Stephen Kantrowitz has contributed "A Place for 'Colored Patriots': Crispus Attucks among the Abolitionists, 1842-1863." How did the movement to end slavery and provide civil rights take inspiration from and use the memory of the one Massacre victim people can still name today?
There are other articles as well, plus reviews of such books as Abolitionists Remember, by Julie Roy Jeffrey. She's speaking at the "Abolitionism in Black & White" symposium, where I am right now. The Review is available at the Massachusetts Historical Society and finer local libraries.
ADDENDUM: And now there's a cover image, and a link for purchases!

On September 6, rain gushed down on the first day of class at most area schools, but in the comfort of the Mount St. Joseph Academy gym, the Magic's volleyball team was able to conduct its season opener and nail down a league victory.
Visiting Villa Joseph Marie Academy submitted in Tuesday's tilt, 25-8, 25-6, 25-10. The Jems aren't among the most formidable opponents within the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies, and the Mounties dispatched their guests in appropriate, businesslike fashion.
"It gave us a chance to see how our new nucleus of kids works together, and they did alright," said coach George Trabosh. "The seniors haven't played as a unit since their freshmen year, because the next two years there were always older players in the mix."
The veteran upperclassmen are hitters Kasey Cannon, Nicki Driscoll, and Kelsey Robbins, and libero Regina Trabosh (daughter of the coach). Jackie Lohin is also a senior, but is new to her role as starting setter.
"She did a nice job, and so did [junior] Marissa McBride in the third set," Trabosh said.
Junior Maddy Good already saw a little varsity time last season, and sophomore Moira Mulholland acquitted herself well in her first full-fledged varsity encounter. The big news, literally, was six-foot freshman middle hitter Sarah Thomas.
"She did very well; I was happy with what I was seeing out there," the coach said. "Even with her, we're really small compared to everybody else, so we're going to have to be defensive-minded."
Robbins, a team co-captain along with Cannon, noted "We're still trying to tie things together, but for our first match it was good. Sarah has a lot of talent and I think she's going to be a great addition to our team."
As a senior leader helping younger players adjust to the varsity level, Robbins said, "You just talk to them and let them know that they're good players and we have confidence in them."
Not sure whether she'll play in college, Robbins is simply focusing on her senior season at the Mount.
"I want to keep improving my blocking, and help slow the ball down and make it easier on Regina and the other passers," she explained. "We're used to other teams being bigger than we are, and we try to move the ball around quickly to get around the blocks."

I like to introduce a complete rewrite of the Linux download scripts for the project WSUS Offline Update. These scripts offer many improvements over the legacy script DownloadUpdates.sh:
- Separation of a frontend and backend script
The script update-generator.bash is used to interactively select the update, language and download options. The script download-updates.bash fetches the selected updates without any user interaction. This separation makes the structure of both files more straightforward.
- Highly modular approach
Both scripts are further split into libraries, common tasks, setup tasks and download tasks. Each script does one task only in the most straightforward manner. This resembles the flow of control and makes the scripts easily expandable and more maintainable.
- Unified language settings
There is no distinction between default languages, custom languages and update languages.
Users can specify one language on the command line, and then they will get downloads for the specified language only, and nothing more.
- Verification of downloaded files
SHA-1 hashes are embedded into the filename of all security updates, as a number of 40 hexadecimal digits. These are compared to the checksums, which are calculated by hashdeep.
The verification of digital file signatures with Sysinternals Sigcheck running under wine was tried, but it doesn't really work without the necessary root certificates.
- Compatibility
The download script uses the same algorithms for calculating superseded and dynamic updates as the Windows script DownloadUpdates.cmd. The compliance with the Windows scripts can be tested with the scripts compare-integrity-database.bash and compare-update-tables.bash.
- Desktop integration
Obsolete updates are not deleted immediately, but moved into the trash. GNOME and most other GTK+ based desktop environments use GVFS to handle the trash. The package trash-cli can be used with other desktop environments or window managers. trash-cli should also work without any graphical environment.
- Self updates of WSUS Offline Update
Both the setup and the download script check for new versions of WSUS Offline Update. They also handle updates of the configuration files in the static and exclude directories.
- Same day rules
Same day rules are used to prevent the repeated evaluation of the same tasks in adjacent runs of the download script.
- Documentation
There is even a complete documentation.
Current version
The current version is 1.10, which was released on 2018-08-09. It is compatible with WSUS Offline Update 11.4 and later.
An archive, the corresponding hashes file, and the results of a virus scan at VirusTotal can be downloaded at:

Organist Stefan Engels to Give Recital• February 18, 2010 Share:
The Wabash College Music Department invites the public to the 11th annual Roger H. Ide Organ Recital at 3 p.m., Sunday, February 21, in Pioneer Chapel. This year's recital will be played by Stefan Engels.
He will perform Dankpsalm Op. 145/2 by Max Reger, Concerto C Major BWV by Johann Sebastian Bach, Transcription for Organ of the concerto in D Major by Antonio Vivaldi, Andante sostenuto f Minor by Felix Mendelsohn Bartholdy, and Symphonischer Choral Jesu, meine Freude op. 87/2 by Sigfrid Karg-Elert.
Stefan Engels began his tenure as Professor of Organ in the fall of 2005 at one of Europe's most prestigious and oldest musical institutions, the University of Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" in Leipzig, Germany. This appointment was preceded by his position as Associate Professor of Organ and Chair of the Organ Department at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ.
Since his appointment in Leipzig, Engels has shaped the University's Church Music Institute as a centre for organ performance and organ pedagogy of international acclaim. He is the founder and Artistic Director of the European Organ Academy Leipzig which attracts faculty and students from around the world. In 2009 the Academy was given a generous grant from the German Academic Exchange Service. Engels is also the initiator and Chair of the Jury of the First International Competition in Organ Improvisation in Leipzig which took place for the first time this past fall. Furthermore, as an advocate and specialist for the music of the late-Romantic German Composer Sigfrid Karg-Elert, he founded the Karg-Elert Festtage in Leipzig, demonstrating and discovering the unique works of this Leipzig composer. In 2006 Stefan Engels was named Artistic Director of the Jordan International Organ Competition based at Columbus State University in Columbus, GA.
Engels maintains a vigorous international concert schedule and is a sought-after teacher, having presented lectures and master classes across the European continent, North America, and South Korea. Engels frequently serves on juries at international organ competitions. In March 2010 he will serve on the Jury of the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb 2010.
Engels has recorded two highly acclaimed CDs with works by Marcel Dupré on the Naxos label and one CD with works of Karg-Elert, Reger, Messiaen, and Germani on the Priory label as part of their Great European Organ Series. His specialization in the organ works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert has resulted in the world premiere recording of the complete organ works of Karg-Elert, also on the Priory label.
Stefan Engels received his broad musical education in Germany and the United States. He studied organ, piano, harpsichord, choral conducting and church music at the Universities in Aachen, Düsseldorf, and Cologne. From 1993 until 1998 he pursued further organ studies with the late Robert Anderson in Dallas and Wolfgang Rübsam in Chicago. He achieved his international break-through when he was awarded the "Concerto Gold Medal" at the 1998 Calgary International Organ Competition. Since then he has been represented by Karen McFarlane Artists Inc. of Cleveland, OH.
The annual Roger H. Ide Organ Recital is funded by a bequest from Dr. Roger Ide, Class of 1959, who served as the Wabash College organist while he was a student. The memory of that experience was such a pleasant one for Dr. Ide that he chose to perpetuate the music with a gift that makes it possible to enjoy organ recitals for years to come.
The concert is free and open to the public.

See Le Nozze Di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)
When: Sunday, March 3, at 4 p.m.
Where: Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester, 668-5588, palacetheatre.org
Admission: Tickets cost $20-$75
Opera NH has been working hard to reach a younger audience.
"And by younger, we mean people younger than 50," Opera NH's new president, Jean Esslinger, joked during an interview at the Palace Theatre. "As an incoming president of Opera NH, I was looking for ways that I could reach out to other organizations who are trying to reach out to similar audiences. … I realized that the New Hampshire Institute of Art has been really growing in some unique ways."
Indeed, NHIA has recently taken in students and faculty from Chester College, and even more recently, partnered with Sharon Arts in order to expand its reach and its opportunities for art students.
"We're always looking for very interesting subject matter. … We're constantly joining with other arts organizations, collaborating with them for events and projects," said Jim Burke, chair of the illustration department at NHIA.
You'll see the result of this partnership on the walls of the reception gallery at the Palace Theatre. NHIA students were prompted to create work inspired by either Il Barbiere Di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), which played at the Palace on Feb. 3, or Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), which shows at the theater on March 3. (Le Nozze di Figaro is the sequel to Il Barbiere Di Siviglia, so many of the characters are the same.)
The reception gallery is open during all Palace shows, and the work presented offers a multitude of media and designs. Jessica Rowell, for instance, went with a collage design containing a pair of scissors, a landscape image and a male and female silhouette on each scissor handle. The image was pieced together with needle and yellow thread. Allison Cleghorn painted a traditional oil image: it depicts a beautiful woman (Rosina) and three men climbing her hair in the race for her affection.
The winning piece was created by Brittany Inglese. It's a digital piece, containing just a handful of colors. It too contains a pair of scissors, as many of the designs did, but here it's used as a way to break up the space. We see Rosina above, Count Almaviva courting her below, almost in a Romeo/Juliet stance. To the side, we see another character, Dr. Bartolo, with a ring (he and Count Almaviva are both trying to win Rosina's affections). While the design itself was important, one of the reasons Inglese's design was chosen was her pre-planning.
"I did something digitally, because to me, graphic art is the way to go with a poster. It's cheaper to print, and mine contained only four or five colors," Inglese said.
There was a great deal of trial and error before she arrived at the finished product; she made six different versions of the same poster with different color palettes. She also researched the clothing that they'd worn during this time period.
Another trick in designing for marketing purposes: keep it simple.
"It was our first project for our illustration class. We were given a brief synopsis on the sequel. We were only given the bare minimum in the prompt," Inglese said. "You don't want to get too detailed, or else the idea will get too lost."
Inglese won a scholarship through Opera NH because of her artwork, and the other students whose work is showing can reap the benefits of their efforts, too; each piece is for sale, a handful of which have already been purchased. You can see the artwork on display in the Palace Theatre reception gallery until March 3.
