Finding the best Microphone
First, a little about microphones. Microphones are basically simple devices designed to do one thing: convert sound waves in the air to their electrical equivalent. One of the first questions you may encounter is, "Do you want a dynamic or condenser microphone?"
Why do I need a Microphone Preamp?
A condenser microphone works by actually converting sound energy into an electrical voltage, but this voltage is much lower than the voltage coming out of your keyboard or other line level sources

What's Acoustics anyway?
Why do people buy acoustic products? For sure there has to be a reason for investing in sound control products, and that is simply the need to take the best out of our sound systems in our rooms. But in fact, the main question we should be asking is … why does sound need to be controlled anyway? This question will take us in the next minutes into a journey of sound characteristics and its behavior, especially those occurring inside an enclosed room, whether it is a Studio, a Home Cinema or even an Opera theatre.
Why Acoustic Treatment?
In the beginning, there was perfect sound…then man invented rooms and messed everything up. The end? Luckily, no. It's been said that the perfect recording environment is the great outdoors. But since that's not feasible, the next best thing is to acoustically treat our rooms so that they don't mangle the sound we record and/or listen to.

The search for the perfect electric guitar sound never ends for most musicians. Unlike the piano and drums that can generate sound naturally, a guitar player is blessed AND cursed that electricity is the main ingredient to achieving any tone at all.

Zac Posen Spring 2014
"With Instagram and all this technology, I see a huge hunger for process and handcraftsmanship," said Zac Posen backstage before his spring show. It could sound affected, sure, but consider the fact that Posen still produces his entire main collection in New York, his hometown. For a global business, that's pretty remarkable. The proximity also allows the designer to work at a level that, for a ready-to-wear collection, approaches couture. Many of his dresses are pleated, knotted, and sewn by hand and, for spring, that lent itself to a few dozen pieces steeped in what felt like a fairy tale.
Models with messy updos studded with tiny buds waltzed out dressed in pale shades of pink, green, and lavender—a palette inspired by an arrangement of ombré-colored roses dipped in plastic. The feeling was based on Sarah Bernhardt in the 1911 French film La Dame aux Camélias, and the flutter sleeves, copious ruffles, bias silhouettes, corsetry, and delicate floral prints all evoked a soft romanticism, that, at its best, was simple. A long, bordeaux slip dress with linear, floral embroidery and a butter yellow look with a draped back represented Posen's strength (as well as the nineties feel that's been happening elsewhere for spring): flattering the body with womanly, sensual shapes. It's great to see him show off his skill with more intricate and worked details, absolutely, but while the extra fabric folded at the hips might work as a place to rest one's hands for a photograph, in real daily (or nightly) life, few women are looking for more bulk there.
There was a good balance between long and short hemlines, and really, in the last few seasons, Posen has shown a strong commitment to dialing down the drama without losing his sense of showmanship.

I like that BT is reaching out to groups that don't speak English. BT is a great product and should be available to everyone who wants to use it, regardless of their native language. However I don't read/speak a second language. Is there a way when I click on the new posts link I can set it so I only see posts that are in English?
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss

With all the different language sub-forums here, I personally feel like I'm missing quite a bit of knowledge and learning being exchanged. Increasingly, I'm performing google translations of certain threads that have keywords of things that interest me. Now if G's clunky translation engine would begin making more sense...
You. Are. Doing. It. Wrong.
I quite enjoy reading the threads from the other language forums, although not adept in all of them, the German and French I can follow, and with a bit of assistance the Italian..
I have to say though that the moderation of the other forums would appear to be less strict than here..
What I've noticed is that they use English titles, but when you read the posting, it's in German. I think that would be a lot easier to separate English postings from the other languages, if they stuck to the German language (or French, Italian or whatever).
Maybe when they read the rules of the forum, there should be something telling them to stick to their language, just to help the English speaking members out when searching.
Or the native word is not as cool or cool sounding or maybe it doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well.
One example that comes to mind in German and there are other words but:
Telekommunikationsdienstanbieter (32 letters) or Provider (the English word in the German for I.S.P.) you tell me which sounds cooler.

Fall 2014 Convocation Speech
"Strategies for Academic Success"
President Ruben Armiñana
Fall 2014 Speakers
August 18, 2014
Ruben Armiñana
Andrew Rogerson
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Richard Senghas
Chair of the Faculty
Elaine Newman
Chapter President, California Faculty Association
Anthony Gallino
Associated Students President
Katie Musick
Staff Representative to the Academic Senate
Welcome to the Academic Year 2014-2015. I especially want to welcome our new students, staff, and faculty who have joined us. Eleven new members of the faculty will be introduced later by Provost Andrew Rogerson. One more faculty member was also hired this year but he will come next year. You have made a good and hopefully long-term decision professionally and personally by becoming members of the Sonoma State family. I also want to welcome back returning students, staff and faculty and look forward to a productive and rewarding year with you all.
At this time I report back to you the results of the newly enacted State budget and its consequences for the California State University and specifically for Sonoma State University. It is always a mix of the good, the bad and the ugly. During most of the past six years it has been mostly the bad and the ugly but in the last two budget cycles a bit more of the good has appeared.
We began the 2014-15 budget cycle with the Governor's recommendation for an increase to the CSU of $142 million and ended the cycle with exactly that amount despite enormous efforts in the Legislature to increase that amount by $95 million to meet the Trustees' request. Many in the CSU were optimistic about some increased funding since the State has experienced a healthier economic recovery which has resulted in greater tax revenues and surpluses. We also believe that higher education is a rewarding investment for the State and its economy. As many of you know, I was never optimistic since my experience of more than 25 years in California is that whatever the Governor proposes in his budget is what eventually happens in the end. This budget does not permit a tuition fee increase for this year and I suspect there will not be such a fee increase for the next couple of years. Chancellor Timothy White expressed that, "The budget enables the university to maintain existing programs, services and tuition fee levels, but our biggest challenge is that this funding level falls below the threshold we need to admit the thousands of fully-eligible California students who seek a CSU education."
Under the approved $142 million increase, SSU's enrollment target increased from 7540 FTES (full-time equivalent students) to 7810 FTES or 270 FTES more. We made expenditure plans based on the expected allocation given to us last March. Now we understand that the campus needs to internally cover 1% of the compensation pool of 3% instead of the 2% in the approved budget. This means adjustments will need to be made to our expenditure plan for approximately $650,000. We do not yet know the exact amount and nature of this reduction. This shows that even when there is good news it can be accompanied by some unanticipated reductions as well.
Governor Jerry Brown has committed to increases to the CSU for the next two years unless there are dramatic revenue shortfalls in the State. Based on this assertion I am proposing a three prong strategy for academic success for the next three years. These prongs are: hiring tenure-track faculty; student mentoring grants for faculty; and enhanced advising capacity.
I have committed to hiring an average of 15 new tenure-track faculty for each of the next three years. Aggressive recruitment encouraging a more diverse faculty, focusing on reducing bottleneck areas in the curriculum and the willingness to collaborate across departments are integral parts of the hiring efforts.
Another area which we will pursue this year is the creation of competitive grants for faculty to get one course release time for them to mentor, supervise, collaborate and guide students in individual research, scholarship, performance or inquiry experience. This could also be in the form of an internship with an industry or a non-profit institution. The goal is to offer to all students a tangible experience before they graduate which will enable them to show to employers that they can enter the world of work with demonstrated experience. Presently, 62% of our graduating seniors have had some form of creative experience. The ultimate goal is to provide all students the opportunity to work creatively and collaborate with the faculty in engaged learning.
Enhancing undergraduate advising is an essential component of keeping students on track to timely graduation. The failure to connect with a major early in a student's career results in delays and frustrations which hinder graduation. Close to a third of our new freshmen (about 500 students) are undeclared, and each fall we have similar numbers of continuing students still trying to decide on a major or get admitted into an impacted one. Effective advising is essential to helping these students find their path and it is also important to educate them about majors that they have not considered, those beyond the 12 most popular, but which meet their career goals. We will establish an advising center in each of the academic schools; two already have advising centers and we also have the undeclared student Advising Center. In addition, we will fully implement a robust e-advising system where in addition to determining the requirements they must satisfy for graduation it will have the added component of course planning which allows the students to map their path to graduation.
I am pleased to report that we are increasing the number and capacity of teaching and learning spaces with the opening of Schroeder Hall and the conversion and renovation of the old Student Union building into International Hall, the Commons into the Wine Spectator Learning Center, and Chalk Hill with classrooms and other learning areas. Classrooms in other buildings are being renovated incorporating greater technology to assist in the learning process. All of these on-going efforts are designed to increase academic success and will result in greater student retention, graduation and satisfaction.
An emerging serious issue in higher education national and locally is the alarming stories about sexual discrimination, harassment and sexual violence on campuses. The number of students who have been victims of sexual violence, reported or not, is sickening.
Under Title IX, the Violence Against Women Act, and State of California laws, we are all personally obligated to report any known harassment and/or violence. Later in the semester, the CSU will release a training program that I will ask each of us, including students, to take in order to become more familiar with these issues and to learn about ways to prevent them. Sexual violence is not acceptable in any form. Unfortunately, most if not all of these crimes are committed under the influence of consumption of alcohol or other substances. We must change the culture of substance abuse and sexual violence and we must make clear that there are no excuses for taking advantage of another person, no matter what their state. I have asked Joyce Suzuki to lead these educational and enforcement efforts as out Title IX coordinator.
There continues to be an on-going debate about the relevance for the future of universities which have the liberal arts and sciences as their core. Some argue that we need to be more specific about workforce preparation. I counter this argument by saying that universities like SSU do a terrific job in preparing students for the current and future workforce by equipping all students, regardless of discipline of study, with the skills needed to be successful in life. Success in life is multi-faceted and includes a blend of economic, social and civic activities and rewards. The liberal arts and sciences provide the knowledge and skills needed for a flexible, adaptive, innovative and collaborative career preparation pathway resulting in success.
Through engaged learning practices we expect that students will be able to translate their academic knowledge and skills into abilities in the workplace. The capacities that they acquire in general education and their major prepare them not just for a specific career, but for any career. CEOs in both the private and public sectors, many of them having broad and diverse educational
backgrounds themselves, continue to tell higher education that they look beyond a student's major and academic performance for indicators that show abilities such as: working in a team structure; decision-making and problem-solving; planning, organizing and prioritizing work; verbally communicating with others inside and outside the organization; obtaining and processing information; and analyzing quantitative data. ("Job Outlook for the Class of 2014", National Association of Colleges and Employers). Ninety-three percent of recently surveyed employers want students to have "cross-cutting skills and experiences" as shown by "a demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems" (It Takes More Than a Major: Employer Priorities for College Learning and Student Success, Hart Research Associates for the Association of American Colleges and Universities, AAC&U). These are the abilities that a liberal education (a term coined by the third President of the United States and the founder of the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson) provides to Sonoma State University students. We just need to do more of it and get even better at it.
This is the challenge that I know we will meet during this academic year. I wish you well.
Thank you.

Paula Deen Wins One: Racial Bias Claim Tossed
(NEWSER) – You know you've made it—or something like that—when both the New York Times and TMZ are covering you. Both publications, among a slew of others, report that a federal judge yesterday threw out the racial bias claim filed against Paula Deen by a former restaurant manager. (This, you'll recall, is the suit that brought Deen's use of the n-word to light and led to such memorable lines as "I is what I is.")

I find that I really don't like the classic american buttercream because its too sweet, but it does hold well for piping cakes and cupcakes due to the shortening
Does anyone have a successful true and tried recipe for a whipped topping that is sturdy and /or crusts? So that it is not sweet but it holds well on piping, flowers, and on cupcake swirls?
Also, i find with cream cheese icing, the icing becomes really heavy with the addition of butter and cream cheese and then confectioners sugar, but the swirls dont hold up long, they end up drooping down and looking flat :( I dont know how bakeries make those amazing red velvet or carrot cupcakes with light and sturdy cream cheese icing that will stand up and hold the swirls? This frustrates me everytime!
Any insights, recipes, or experience would help!

New Tool album will 'most likely' arrive in early 2014
It appears Tool can finally see the finish line when it comes to their highly-anticipated fifth album. Drummer Danny Carey tells "Loud Wire" the follow-up to 2006's Ten-Thousand Days will "most likely" be out in early 2014.
Carey explains that he, guitarist Adam Jones, and bassist Justin Chancellor are working on compositions every day. But frontman Maynard James Keenan has yet to join them, and they still haven't visited the studio to put anything down on tape.
Nonetheless, Carey is hopeful that they'll be able to finish recording the new material by the end of the year. And while there had been talk of a 2013 release date, he says the logistics of putting the new disc in stores means there's almost no chance it will be out before Christmas.
As for the sound of Tool's upcoming album, Carey says they're trying to "push things in different ways." But he assures fans that "it always comes out sounding like Tool no matter what."

SAN BERNARDINO - For Diane Amendt, the magic gets better each year.
"This is my passion," she said. "It's so important to expose kids to live theater, especially theater that's right here in their own backyard."
For the 37th year, the time-honored production of "The Nutcracker Ballet," has launched the holiday season at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts.
In addition to performances Friday through Sunday, there will also be two productions for elementary schools Thursday and Friday mornings.
Amendt, who is in her 33rd year as artistic director of the production, is a third-grade teacher at Ruth Grimes Elementary School in Colton.
She, who started directing the same year she performed as the Dew Drop Fairy, is excited about this year's show.
"The production is always unique," Amendt said. "We have such a wide range of talent. Kathleen Curtis, our Sugar Plum Fairy, is also a county deputy district attorney."
Curtis, 29, has performed roles from the Sugar Plum and Dew Drop fairies to the "Nutcracker" and "Mouse King."
Evette DeMarco-Swinson, now in her 26th year as rehearsal director, has danced for ballet companies throughout the country.
"It just wouldn't be Christmas without the `Nutcracker,"' said Swinson, in her 26th year as rehearsal director.
The classic ballet, about a young girl named Clara who dreams of the Nutcracker Prince and a fierce battle against a Mouse King, is one of the most popular ballets of all time.
The Inland Dance Theatre cast of 80 includes in addition to Curtis; Matthew Leonardi as the Sugar Plum Cavalier; Abby Heigl as the Dew Drop Fairy; Jacob Klementich as the Prince; and Ines Machado as Clara.
For the 25th year, Brian Sandahl will portray the mysterious toymaker Herr Drosselmeyer.

Researching Your Art: How Much Is Your Object Worth?
It is hard to establish fixed values for antiques, artworks, and other collectible items. The amount asked or offered is determined by many factors, including the condition of the object, personal interests of both the seller and the purchaser, and trends in the market. According to Smithsonian Institution policy, no staff member may offer monetary evaluations. However, the following guidelines should help you find an approximate value for your artwork.
First, consult price guides to determine current sale and auction prices. Some price guides are available on the Internet, but most come in book or CD-ROM format. Specialized university or art museum libraries and larger public libraries often carry these guides. Price indexes are usually published annually and cover international auctions and galleries.
Price Guides

FARNBOROUGH, England–South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said she isn't under consideration as Mitt Romney's running mate in the race for the White House.
"No, I am not," replied Ms. Haley after being asked is she was being vetted by the Romney campaign.
"I have made it very clear from the very beginning that I love my job, I love South Carolina and I made a promise to the people of my state [to complete my term] and I have to keep it," said Ms. Haley during an interview at the Farnborough International Air Show promoting South Carolina aerospace.
Ms. Haley has been seen as a potential vice presidential pick for Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but Ms. Haley's statement could put to rest speculation about her future on the ticket.
Mr. Romney is said to be reviewing several female candidates for the number two spot ahead of the August Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., according to comments by Ann Romney, the candidate's wife, to CBS News last week.
New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte is widely assumed to be in consideration and some supporters of Mr. Romney are pushing for former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, despite her repeated statements about her lack of interest in serving as the GOP vice presidential candidate.

MANHATTAN BEACH -- A memorial service for longtime Mira Costa High School coach and teacher Bob Fish has been scheduled for 8 a.m. Dec. 8 in the school auditorium.
All are welcome to attend.
Fish died Sunday after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 70.
Fish had a larger-than-life persona, serving as a gregarious track-and-field and cross-country coach for 23 years while also working for 10 years as Mira Costa's athletic director.
His voice often bellowed throughout the Manhattan Beach campus, whether it was his energetic reading of the morning announcements, his coaching or just another spirited Fish conversation.
"He was dynamic, funny, he was just a character," Mira Costa girls cross-country coach Renee Williams-Smith said. "He had such a gruff exterior, but he was such a teddy bear on the inside."

Dave started Vitamin C therapy last week. He is on a break from Chemo and will have another CT scan before starting back on chemo in 5 weeks. We are hoping to see more shrinkage of his tumors and will let you all know of our Vitamin C experience. Wishing you all good days. Patrice
Good luck with the intravenous vitamin C treatment. How often will Dave be having it?
twice a week. They start you out on a low dose and build up to the max when it really starts working.....we hope. thanks for the good wishes. Patrice

MSTRKRFT make bad music good.
Looking for just the right thing to throw into your cd player onto your ipod to please all the hipsters coming to your BBQ? I present you a collection of remixes by the Canadian duo known as MSTRKRFT. Both dudes were associated in one way or another with the criminally slept-on band, Death From Above 1979 (Jesse was the bassist and Alex produced their second album). I don't know how they didn't get more popular… How many bands do you know only have a drummer and a bassist AND the drummer is the lead singer??? BAD ASS.
It is hard to deny their ability to take a mediocre, sometimes downright terrible, song and turn it into a dancefloor hammer. Enjoy the remixes and bonus videos after the jump! Read More

Am I the only person on the planet that does not feel sated by protein? I've been on Paleo and feel great. Experienced some fat loss initially, but am having trouble getting in enough protein. Strangely, since I've been on Paleo, I don't ever a taste for it and when I eat it, I'm rarely satisfied. Any thoughts? I would still like to lose a little more fat, but from everything I've read, I won't be able to do so without more protein???

Home to CNN headquarters, Atlanta is filled with news junkies who live for lively discourse on what's happening in the world. If you'd rather talk peonies than politics, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens are a perfect date venue. And sure, Georgia peaches are delicious but so are the endless culinary delights at Atlanta's plethora of incredible restaurants.

"Our story started simply enough: getting drinks at Whisky Blue Buckhead in Atlanta to feel each other out. We barely touched our drinks, however, because we were so busy chatting. One date led to another, and another and another."
Anna and I have been through a wild ride throughout the last two and a half years, culminating last month with us getting engaged!
Our story started simply enough: getting drinks at Whisky Blue Buckhead in Atlanta to feel each other out. We barely touched our drinks, however, because we were so busy chatting. One date led to another, and another and another. We both blinked and it was already insinuated that we would be spending our whole weekends together. Things happen so fast!
We went on many trips: NYC, Pittsburgh, Florida, Knoxville, Memphis, Chattanooga, the list goes on and on. We had deep conversations, went whitewater rafting, hiking, to movies, on walks – all of the things JDate matched us on.
After two years and some change, I surprised my fiancé on the top of Blood Mountain with a proposal. We are so happy and grateful for the medium for us to meet: JDate! Thank you for all you do!

President Obama touches on broad range of issues during rare question and answer session with press
(NEWSER) – The US is pretty sure someone has used chemical weapons in Syria—but it's not sure who, President Obama revealed at a White House press conference today, at which he invited reporters to ask him questions on whatever they pleased. "What we now have is evidence that chemical weapons have been used in Syria," Obama said, according to the Guardian's liveblog. "We don't know how they were used, when they were used, who used them." He said he wanted to avoid "rushing to judgment without hard effective evidence."
Obama also said that, while chemical weapon use is indeed a "game-changer," that didn't necessarily mean war. "By game-changer I mean we would have to rethink the range of options that are available to us." Other tidbits from the press conference:
- When asked about the hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, Obama promised to try again to close the prison. "It is not a surprise to me that we've got problems in Guantanamo," he said. "I'm gonna go back at this. I'm going to reengage with Congress."
- Obama defended authorities for not catching all the warning signs about one of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers. "It's not like the FBI did nothing," Obama said, according to WLWT, pointing out that they both investigated and interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
- He said he was "very proud" of Jason Collins, the now openly gay NBA player, saying it was "a great thing" for gay young people "to see a role model like that." Further, "this is just one more step in the recognition that we treat everybody fairly."
- Asked if he still had the "juice" to get his agenda passed, he joked, "Maybe I should just pack up and go home! As Mark Twain said, rumors of my demise might be a bit exaggerated at this point."

Paraglider Blown Away
LAKE ELSINORE (CNS) - A paraglider got more than he bargained for today when high winds carried him four miles off course from the Ortega Mountains and forced him to land at a Lake Elsinore all terrain vehicle area, a sheriff's corporal said.
Witnesses on Interstate 15 alerted dispatchers at 2:06 p.m. about the paraglider who appeared to be coming in too low. Eastern winds blew the paraglider toward the ATV area where he landed without injury, Riverside County sheriff's Cpl. Joshua Morales said.
The paraglider whose name was not immediately available intended to land at the base of the Ortega Mountains when he was blown off course, Morales said.

Tote Bag Road Test: Customizable ClaireaBella Totes
Stow your stuff in a handmade ClaireaBella creation!
-Diana Denza
Need to find the perfect gift for the girl who has everything? ClaireaBella bags are your answer!
The raved-about UK handbag line has hit the states with handmade, hand painted creations. Crafted from India's natural Jute fibers, these bags will make an earth-friendly style statement. They'll hold everything from your beach reads to a full-size laptop (I put my sample tote to the test and it passed with flying colors).
Read Beauty Road Test: NYX Cosmetics' The Curve Eye Liner
Best of all, each one is fully customizable. From the hair to the ensemble, you'll have several options to choose from every step of the way. Then, enter up to 12 characters of text so your name can appear next to your caricature.
I was especially impressed by designer Claire Barratt's expert attention to detail. As anyone who ever took a junior high art class would know, eyes are one of the most difficult features to paint. Yet Barratt manages to fashion bright, beaming peepers with lengthy lashes. Paired with pouty pink lips, these gals are absolutely adorable.
Each tote arrives complete with embellishments like bows, hearts, and a coating of glitter. Thanks to those resilient Jute fibers, your unique design will stay put even as you hit the beach or get caught in a downpour.
No wonder why the celebrities love them! Check out how Disney starlet Bella Thorne finished off her outfit with a very personalized accessory.
ClaireaBella bags can be purchased here. Prices range from $54.99 for the brand's smallest size-–which happens to be perfect for the youngster in your life–and reaches $79.99 for a large tote. If you need one of these ASAP, order fast. They're painstakingly designed by hand, so one order can take up to a month to process.
Are you ready to give yourself (and maybe even your BFFs!) a totally unique treat to remember?

Clay Wills
Spotlight show • A singer-songwriter showcase at the Canyons Resort this weekend features some of the country's top talents. Featured artists include Jason Sever, who wrote four songs on Dustin Lynch's self-titled album; Rachel Thibodeau, writer of "Good Directions," the ASCAP Song of the Year; Daphne Willis, whose song "Because I Can" is No. 2 on iTunes' Top 40 Singer/Songwriter chart; Ryan Griffin, who has opened for Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Kip Moore; Lisa Torres, who provides harmony voice with Jason Aldean and Trace Adkins; Chad Raymon, who recently signed with Nashville's Dan Hodges Music and has written hits for Brad Paisley, Clay Walker and Josh Kelley; and Clay Wills, who wrote Darius Rucker's hit "Don't Think I Don't Think About It." In a telephone interview, Wills said he writes five days a week and gets booked several months in advance. That's what writing No. 1 hits and a Grammy nomination for Trisha Yearwood's "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love" will get you. Wills, who has never performed in Utah, had to cancel three songwriting gigs to make the trip, but he is treating this weekend as a retreat and plans to ski. "I take gigs to play where I haven't been and want to go to," he said. Besides the Friday show, Mills is scheduled to play the Waldorf Powder Lounge sometime between 8 and 10 p.m. on Saturday, March 16.

Hoodie Allen
Spotlight show • Rapper Hoodie Allen has followed a unique career path. After graduating with a degree in finance and marketing from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, he worked for Google in northern California. Then he quit to focus on music. "This has always been the goal," said Allen in a recent telephone interview. "When you have nothing, you can't call it a goal it's more like a dream." Allen is touring in support of "All American," the second EP he has released, and which debuted as the No. 1 album on iTunes. The New York state native and songwriter enjoys touring and considers it a job perk. "My job lets me travel to places like Salt Lake City," Allen said. "It's great to see diverse places. … In New York, everyone has an aggressive attitude. Everyone else is so nice." Aer and Jared Evan will also perform.
When • Sunday, March 17, at 8 p.m.

Vagabond Opera
Spotlight show • Portland, Ore.'s Vagabond Opera, a hybrid opera-cabaret-Gypsy music ensemble, is led by tenor Eric Stern a classically trained opera singer who swerved. "I was disillusioned," he said in a telephone interview. "I love opera, but I think the Western classical tradition was a deep tradition to be mined. In this country, opera has an institutional mindset. The whole thing seems clunky." So he assembled a group of musicians who also were performance artists and created Vagabond Opera. "Opera tries to get young people involved, but it's not going balls-to-the-wall in a visceral way," Stern said. While there is no explicit storyline, Stern said he likes "people to think they've been on a narrative journey," Local Gypsy-rock ensemble Juana Ghani opens.
When • Monday, March 18, at 8 p.m.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra
Spotlight show • Originally from New Zealand, singer, guitarist and songwriter Ruban Nielson is the leader of psychedelic rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra. He is joined by bassist Jake Portrait and drummer Riley Geare. The trio released its second album, "II," in February on the respected Jagjaguwar label, home of Bon Iver and Dinosaur Jr. New Zealand and the States are much different, said Nielson in an email interview. "It's very small and isolated," he said of New Zealand. "The States are like a big open space to me. One thing that people don't really know about Americans is how warm they are. Warmer than New Zealanders in a lot of ways." Nielson said he finds Portland, where the band calls home, "such a comfortable place for me. The pace, climate and natural beauty remind me of New Zealand in some ways, but there's a whole other element of music, bars, restaurants and strip clubs that isn't really found anywhere else." UMO's success has surprised Nielson. "It exceeded my expectations from the very start," he said. "We're just working really hard and having a lot of fun and riding a wave of good luck. … I'm really proud of what we do live. Some nights I feel like the best band in the world." Foxygen and Wampire are also on the bill.

Spotlight show • Don't Stop Please, an Arkansas-based dance-pop band, will stop in Salt Lake City for a one-night show. Then it will travel to Boise for the Treefort Music Festival. It's the group's first performance in Utah, said multi-instrumentalist Anna Horton, who has driven across the state to get to Burning Man, the annual event in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. Born in Eureka Springs, Horton said people from all over the world come to her hometown to drink and soak in the springs, which are said to have a healing power. Don't Stop Please is based nearby in Conway, in the Ozark mountains. Despite stereotypes about Arkansas, "There are normal people there," said Horton. After this tour, the ensemble will finish recording its first full-length album for release later this year. The band doesn't plan on visiting Black Rock Desert any time soon. "Guitars and amps don't take too well to the desert," Horton said.

Just watched the browne gonzaga fight and have to ask how many of those elbows were to back of head I counted at least 3????????
Just watched the browne gonzaga fight and have to ask how many of those elbows were to back of head I counted at least 3????????
yeh there was a few illegal elbows in there, but gonzaga was already out before the illegal elbows were thrown, so it wouldn't of changed the outcome of the fight
He was already out so it's ok to not acknowledge them? So would it be ok to knock someone out, kick them in the back of the head and say "he was already out so it's ok!", what a load of shite. Yeah it wouldn't change the outcome but it was illegal as fuck!!
I dont think it was deliberate, Gonzaga was out, as he dropped his head turned and the last blow or maybe 2 seemed to catch the back of his head, in that split second, can anyone expect Browne to stop the elbow that was being thrown as Gonzaga's head turned, the first few landed cleanly, he was just plowing a load in the same way as the first few...
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Haven't see. The fight yet so can't really comment. That said however if there was illegal elbows it should be a DQ or at leadt a point off IMO.
Look at Jones vs Hamill. There was no way in hell Hamill was going to do anything. With Jones however Jones throws illegal elbows and hey presto Hamill gets the win.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Is the ruling intentional though or just any illegal blow? As in kinda handball - if its not intentional then crack on.
I honestly think it was just that split second as Gonzaga slumped, Browne plowed a few more in and the last one or two caught the back of his head, didn't change the outcome, nor really was there anything he could do to stop the blow landing, be a bit harsh to DQ him for them - Jones on the other hand, that was a 12-6 elbow which is never legal, the elbow Browne threw was legal but Gonzaga's head turned making it land illegally.
Not sure what can be done about these kind of things but I hate when a fighter covers up and starts squirming and twisting his head whilst the dude on top reigns down blows and the ref tells them to watch the punches they throw - its almost impossible I imagine to determine where the dude you are about to punch is going to twist his head, I kinda dislike the illegal blow rules in that regard as in those circumstances the punch/elbow thrown is a legit elbow and meant in a legit manner, just in that moment that the punch/elbow is thrown, the dude on the receiving end turns slightly causing the blow to land not on the target as intended - that to me in some regards is more the dude getting punched's fault, he is the one turning into the blow.
Having read this back, I dont think I am getting across what I am trying to explain properly, I also cant be arsed to rewrite it, I shall hope it comes across as intended! If not, meh.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
yeah man, if you KO someone and they are out of the fight, it's fine to land an illegal blow afterwards. stamping on their nuts or landing a vicious elbow to the back of the head are both fine as long as the guy had no chance of recovering lol

Earth Day—the first one, back in 1970—was a catalyst for Peter Pfeiffer, FAIA. Even as an impressionable high schooler, Pfeiffer had a taste for construction and an enthusiasm for environmental causes. That inaugural Earth-fest simply showed that his two interests could coexist.
But sustainable design wasn't a passing fancy for Pfeiffer, who has dedicated the past 29 years to developing and advancing building practices that follow green principles. As a college student he gravitated naturally to Arizona, where he spent a summer with Paolo Soleri. "He really turned a lightbulb on in me [and] made me realize that you can define architecture by its ability to work with its setting," Pfeiffer says. His academic foundation in building science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was bolstered by graduate work at the University of Texas at Austin. There he earned a master's degree in sustainable studies, working with a professor who wrote software to analyze energy use in buildings. "I found out that a single-pane window in the shade is more efficient than a double-pane window in the sun," he says of the experience.
In 1987, Pfeiffer teamed up with partner Alan Barley, AIA, to launch Barley & Pfeiffer Architects in Austin, Texas. Since then, the firm has been preoccupied with creating "high-performance homes," which Pfeiffer describes as comfortable, maybe even luxurious, energy-efficient homes that are healthier to live in and easier to maintain than conventional houses.
Pfeiffer's firm is a national trendsetter in the fields of energy and natural resource-conserving design, low-toxicity living environments, and green construction technology. Even though the architects load their houses with thermal-siphoning strategies, Formaldehyde-free damp-blown insulation, nontoxic termite treatments, rainwater-harvesting systems, and sustainably harvested woods, they still value—and deliver—good design. Says Pfeiffer: "It's the appropriate marriage of technology and aesthetics."

This model of the Trump Tower in Chicago is 10 feet tall and contains 65,000 LEGO pieces. That's right... It's 10 feet tall!
On display with two other Chicago landmarks
The building was created together with the Tribune Building and Water Tower Place which are together on permanent display at the LEGO store at Water Tower Place Mall in downtown Chicago.
"Reflective glass"
The real building is covered in reflective glass, which makes it melt into the skyline when you look at it. I knew that I wouldn't be able to create a reflective LEGO model, so I spent a lot of time prototyping and designing different ways of building the facade.
About Sean
As seen in The New York Times, The BBC, FAO Schwarz, Elle, Good Morning America, New York Magazine, and more, Sean Kenney is a full-time "professional kid" who uses LEGO toys to build anything and everything you can imagine. More about Sean
I realized, when trying to design the building, that reflective glass fools your eye into thinking you are looking at something farther away. That, coupled with the fact that this building mostly reflects the sky, makes the real building melt away into the skyline without looking imposing.
To replicate this with LEGO bricks, I created the walls of the building several pieces thick... The outermost layer is clear LEGO pieces, behind them are various shades of translucent blue, white, and smokey colored pieces, and behind that are opaque sky-blue LEGO pieces. Looking at the model, your eye is fooled by the depth of the facade, and you catch glimpses of reflection together with varied colors from the depth of the walls, duplicating the effect that you get looking at a building of mirrored glass.
Building it
The entire model took over a month of full-time work, together with my assistants Jung Ah, Eun Nye, and our very special guest star David Pagano.
Unlike most of my sculptures, the entire model is ~unglued~ and managed to make its way to Chicago from my New York art studio in one piece. (well, two pieces... It separates in half so it can fit through a door!) :)

This is the clock that employs the naturally soothing effects of essential oils to lull you into a blissful slumber. Its diffuser tank accepts 1 1/3 cup of water and a drop or two of 100% pure essential lavender oil; the diffuser uses ultrasonic vibration to silently release aroma into the air. Supplementing an aroma's naturally sedative effects, the clock displays six soothing colors and plays five nature sounds (including raindrops, ocean waves, and singing birds) from a built-in speaker. A remote that stores in the clock's interior controls the aroma, sleep timer, lights, and nature sounds. The digital clock displays the time with 1 1/2"-high numbers. Plugs into AC with the included adapter (included CR2032 battery provides power backup for clock display). 2 3/4" H x 7 1/2" Diam. (1 1/2 lbs.)

FONTANA - The NASCAR Sprint Cup Auto Club 400 today will be the 24th such event at Auto Club Speedway and represents Toyota's best chance of taking a checkered flag at the venue.
The manufacturer is in only its seventh season of stock car competition, but it's frustrating for the company with national headquarters 30 laps from the two-mile track. Toyota is 0 for 10 at Fontana, one of two tracks on the Cup circuit where it's been shut out.
When the green flag falls (Ch. 11, noon) there are several reasons the drought could be over:
Denny Hamlin is on the pole for the second race on a row. Hamlin topped the 43-car field on Friday by zipping around the track in 38.410 seconds, a speed of 187.461 mph.
But this time, three of the four cars in the front two rows also are in Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas. Greg Biffle and points leader Brad Keselowski trailed Hamlin in the time trials, but they will start the fifth Cup race of the season at the back of the pack after changing engines. Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth will move up two spots, as will Joey Logano.
Kenseth, who moved to the Gibbs camp after a long career in a Ford for Jack Roush, and Busch have won previous Cup races at Fontana. Kenseth is second only to Jimmie Johnson in Cup victories, five to three, while Busch won his first Cup race at Fontana in 2005, although in a Chevrolet.
Another Toyota driver, Mark Martin in a Michael Waltrip Racing entry, also has a Fontana win.
Hamlin finished 11th in the 2012 rain-shortened race and led the race twice.
"I love this race track," Hamlin said. "A lot of the reason is because it's bumpy and it's worn out, and we got tire fall-off - like three seconds between the beginning of a run and the end of a run. That always makes for good racing. If you polled the drivers, this is one of the favorite race tracks that we go to.
"For the record, in my eight years in Cup, I've never benefited from rain whatsoever. Never have we ever been on the right side of a rain strategy in my eight years. That was just another win that got chalked up to weather. We were pretty strong."
In Saturday's final practice session, Martin paced the field with a lap of 39.269 seconds (183.351 mph), followed by Clint Bowyer (39.356) and Kenseth (39.379). Hamlin was 11th in 39.581.
But the focus is on how Biffle and Keselowski will fare. All Biffle needs to do for inspiration is to recall last Sunday's race at Bristol, and that's his plan.
"Same way I did at Bristol," Biffle said about his plans. "This ought to be a lot easier. I started at the back at Bristol; we started 24th and in 60 laps I was ninth under green. It was a heck of a run for us.
"Hopefully we can do the same thing here.
Biffle finished 11th.
"This race track has a lot more room and I wouldn't say is easier to pass, but there is a lot more opportunity to pass than last week," Biffle said.
"Certainly we aren't going to do it in a short amount of time. Definitely it will take probably 100 laps at a minimum or maybe 50-75 laps to get our way up through the field."
Keselowski, the quickest Ford in the last practice session at 39.479, said he could do it in "99 laps." But it's not just about a fast car.
"Maybe some pit strategy too," Biffle said. "We will see what we can come up with."
Jimmie Johnson, a five-time Fontana winner, continued his improvement on Saturday. He qualified Friday in the 18th spot at 39.128 but practiced at 39.470 during the "Happy Hour" final practice.
The second-fastest Chevy in the last practice was Kasey Kahne, last week's winner and Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate, at 39.526. Kahne has momentum, having finished second in Las Vegas before finishing first.
"I definitely believe in momentum," Kahne said. "I know I've tried to work hard over the years to get more consistent because that was definitely my weak spot since I've been in the Sprint Cup Series."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., second in the points ahead of Johnson and Bowyer, was 15th fastest on Friday. He was 16th in Happy Hour but ninth among drivers for the best 10 consecutive laps.
"I think we're feeling confident. The guys seem to be happy with the results," said Earnhardt, third last year. "My crew guys really work real hard and expect good runs and expect us to run well, expect me to do my job.
"They hold me pretty accountable."

Reviews of this property
Kontakt mit Jesus sehr freundlich. Wohnung zentral gelegen. U-Bahn und Bushaltestellen sehr gut erreichbar. Küche gut ausgestattet. Kochfeld (Induktion) gebrochen, funktioniert aber.
Die Wohnung ist mit 3 Schlafzimmern sehr geräumig. Das Schlafzimmer zur Straße ist sehr laut. Nur bei geschlossenem Fenster erträglich. Wohnung insgesamt nicht sauber.
Prima appartement, goede locatie, prettig contact met Jesus, hier en daar wat achterstallig onderhoud, wifi werkt goed (ook met 7 apparaten), goede douche
Buena experiencia, lo mejor la ubicación, la casa muy grande aunque un poco vieja pero en general, todo positivo
Espléndido el trato y el servicio ofrecido por Jesús. Al apartamento muy limpio, listo a la entrega y con flexibilidad para la salida. Todo perfecto... a 10 minutos de cualquier sitio de Madrid.
Altamente recomendable!!!!
Genial, fuimos 8 amigas y todo perfecto! Excelente ubicación, aire acondicionado, bien cuidado y limpio! Repetiría sin duda.
El piso estupendo.todo colocado y muy limpio,con todos los utensilios necesarios.lo mejor de todo el la localización,en pleno centro de madrid,se puede ir andando a todos los lados. Si tengo que volver a Madrid no dudaría en volver a coger este piso.
The flat was very nice, big and well equiped. The Situation is very central, only 5 minutes from Gran Via, and in spite of the cold outside, the calefaction worked very well. The bathrooms a clean and well equipped (massage shower, whirl pool). A big TV flat Screen (50") was nice for the evening.
Nevertheless we noticed, that the flat has been used very often, typical signs of use (floor, walls, painting, kitchen), but this did not affect very negativly the General Impression. We can recommend this flat strongly.
The aparment is centrally located , very close to the metro station, restaurants and shops.The kitchen is well equipped, but we had so much trouble with the vitroceramic hob, it is broken and not functioning properly, we reported it but they did not replace it.We also had electricity shut down while cooking, so we phoned the caretaker only to tell us that he is out of town and if we want him to come we should pay his gas back, we refused and insisted him to come, but he hang up on us, we were all in panic.We phoned the owner and tell him what happened so he phoned Giorgi (the caretaker) and send him to help us. So finally he came, mad, hostile and turn on the power interrupter which is located to another room and can access with a key which only Giorgi has. We asked him why they did not warn us about it, so we could have avoided it or at least leave us the key, he did not answer it, instead he said that what if he is drunk and can not drive!????
Anyway the owner extend his apologies after, but we think we deserved better treatment.We hope not to encounter this person again in our next booking.
The whole apartment is spacious and clean, but the inconvenient part is the aircon should be off during 23:00 until 9:00 in the morning, though the aircon is not really helping a lot. But the owner is nice enough to put fan in every room so that is just fine. We had chaotic but ´funny´, wonderful vacation after all.
