Essential Equipment First, you need a camera that has stereo inputs and a stereo headphone jack (which most high-quality units already have). Stereo imaging, even if you're shooting just a piano, is very important. The stereo "spread"—where instruments are within the left/right stereo spectrum—is what defines a recording. And the concert hall acoustics must be accurately captured as well.
The next thing you'll need is either a good set of microphones or a stereo microphone. I recommend using cardioid condenser mics. Condensers, which require a power source like phantom power or batteries, tend to be more sensitive to dynamic response; they can handle a wider range of dynamics from very soft to very loud. Cardioid microphones, so named because of their heart-shaped pickup pattern, are great because they have a not-too-directional, not-too-wide coverage range. There are also other types of mics available (dynamic, ribbon, etc.), but most of the time, a decent pair of condensers will yield quality results. I've used the same pair of Audio Technica AT813s since 1992 and will be using them for the foreseeable future.
While I won't recommend a specific make or manufacturer, you will need to consult a pro-audio distributor to determine what will fit your needs and budget. It's important to deal with a rep who is experienced with recording classical music audio, and who can best qualify what you need. I don't recommend consulting the salesmen at your local big-box guitar wholesaler's pro audio department. Most of these sales types have little to no classical music engineering experience, little familiarity with different mics, and are only there to sell you the mic that earns them the highest commission. Networking also helps; you may talk to someone who owns a recording studio that specializes in recording classical music or acoustic instrumental performances. Audio engineers are no different from videographers—they all have strong opinions about most aspects of their trade, equipment included, and you're likely to get different answers from different people.
Now that you have your mics, you'll need a decent pair of headphones. I've been using a pair of inexpensive Radio Shack folding miniatures for many years because they're very portable, and fill my ear canals up when I wear them, blocking out other sounds. I'd prefer a set that covered the ears entirely, but one problem with these is that most camcorders don't have very powerful headphone amplifiers and most over-ear headphones are miniature speakers, and require a bit of power to drive. Most in-ear headphones, such as those designed for portable listening devices, have some sort of small membrane design and require low power input.
The last important issue here is the mic cables. These are important—you need to use the highest-quality cables you can justify. Have you seen the ads that say Monster cable is better? Well, it's true, and the same goes for Mogami cables. I've been using Mogami brand cable since I was an independent audio engineer in South Florida. Every one of our clients had used Mogami cable for rigging studio wiring and mic/guitar cables—that client list included the Bee Gees, 2 Live Crew, John Mellencamp, and Jimmy Buffett, to name a few.
The secret to Monster and Mogami cabling is they use many extremely fine strands of copper wire instead of several heavier strands, therefore making conductivity better. It's more expensive, but worth it because not only does it sound better, it also tends to be more durable since the wire strands are a lot finer, and thus more flexible. If you're adept with a soldering needle, make your own custom lengths; otherwise, consult your local distributor.
The remainder of your equipment pack will be straightforward, consisting of things you'd bring to a wedding ceremony plus maybe extra duct tape to secure the mic cables. For your first couple of shoots, you may want to use a static camera as a fallback. Personally, I never used a second camera unless the client was paying for it. Keep your pack as lean as possible since you may not have much time to get into the hall and set up. Peabody only had three recital halls when I worked there, and sometimes I had to set up or pack fast since there was another recital that had just happened or was about to happen.
Setting Up For Different Types Of Concerts Most of the classical music work I've done has either been for recitals (a soloist and accompanist, usually on piano) or large ensembles. Knowing in advance what you're taping will determine several factors of your shoot: which mics to bring, where to shoot from, where to place your mics, and how to shoot during the performance. We'll go point by point here. Mics to Bring You should consider yourself lucky if you're able to choose from a stable of mics in a "mic locker." I always use my handy AT813s, and if I need another spot mic, I usually use another 813 or a PZM (boundary, low-profile spot mic like you may encounter on a church altar or pulpit). For choral work, some engineers use strategically placed shotgun mics pointed towards the flanks of the chorus. Shotguns are also a good choice to mic acoustic guitar from a distance to avoid excessive finger-picking noise. Where to Shoot From Obviously, you want the best vantage point regardless of the size or nature of the ensemble you're shooting. This is usually the center of the hall, but in a position where members of the audience won't obscure your line of sight. With a soloist and piano accompaniment, the soloist gets priority. Ditto for soloist and small ensemble (string quartet, winds, brass, etc.). If you're shooting an orchestra, try to go aerial and shoot from a balcony or riser.
Another form of shooting I've used a lot is an approach I call "conductor mode." I used to shoot a lot of conductors who'd use the video as an audition piece or for their portfolio. In conductor mode, you'll want to shoot from the stage, but behind a curtain and from a riser so you get a good face shot of the conductor without being seen by the audience. I'd start with a wide shot when the conductor first enters, but then zoom in close enough to track the conducting, leaving the framing just wide enough to show baton motion on any axis (always in-camera), or tracking the conductor's movements (making sure to show the whole baton).
Basically, if you've been booked to produce a conductor's demo, I recommend ignoring the rest of the orchestra and just filming the conductor. You can use auto focus here, but beware—the problem with auto focus in conductor mode is that violins and violas could be between you and the conductor, and could cause the auto-focus to throw your focus all over the place!
Microphone Placement Every engineer has his or her own ideas on where mics should be placed. Here is the distilled essence of my five years of audio engineering education: Place your mics in front of the ensemble at a distance of one to one-and-a-half times the depth of the ensemble. Treat everything (from solo piano to a full symphony with saxophones and kazoo), as if it were one unit. Dead center, preferably, for optimal stereo spread.
I use the "NOS" mic placement scheme, which involves placing the mic capsules 12" apart at a 90-degree angle, and also as high as you can above the plane of the orchestra (8-14' off the ground). This setup yields great stereo spacing—not too wide, yet still spacious— and excellent mono compatibility.
The next option is to place the capsules at a 90-degree angle but right next to each other. This results in less "spaciousness" but perfect mono compatibility. Lastly, if you use a stereo microphone, there are no spacing issues since the capsules are manufactured to be at a 90-degree angle by default. And don't worry about using only a stereo pair of mics—you have only two ears, and it's the conductor's responsibility to control his ensemble.
My final word on mic placement: Don't place them in your line of sight! How to Shoot the Performance How you shoot a performance depends on the kind of music performed. For most recital work, if there are few performers, it is an easy decision. Solo piano, for example, is relatively easy. Most of the framing will be set to show the pianist's face, hands, and the entire keyboard, with occasional pulls and zooms to show context and break up the performance.
When shooting soloists with piano accompaniment, you'll find that the soloist will usually stand to the right of the piano. Concentrate on the soloist— she's paying the bill! Make sure the soloist's music stand doesn't block your view and don't be afraid to ask her to move it before the performance if it does. Trust me, she'll oblige. You will mainly concentrate on the soloist, keeping the whole instrument and upper torso in frame, with some occasional pullbacks to show interaction with the accompanist. Always be conservative with your framing, but don't be boring. Few of my clients have said they wanted an "artistic expression." They've just wanted a good, solidly framed recording of their performance.
When working with small ensembles (quintets, quartets, etc.), you can be more creative. Different framings may be the whole ensemble, duos, trios, and panning variants on duos and trios. Basically, I let musical entries determine what I'm going to shoot next. If one person is playing a solo and the others are accompaniment, don't be afraid to frame your shot to show the soloist alone.
If you're shooting a duet or trio, concentrate on the group as a whole. Never dwell overly long on any one framing— amateurs can do that quite adeptly already, and being able to anticipate entries and adjust framing accordingly will separate your work from the competition and the Uncle Charlies of the world. No musician (much less a videographer!) can possibly be familiar with the entire classical musical repertoire, but you can learn to hear where the music is "going" and anticipate where and how to frame next.
Small ensembles are also good for developing a feel for shooting classical music. You can train your ear as to what the different instruments sound like (not as simple as it seems), which will help you set your next framing. You can also develop a sense of pacing—if a passage or section is coming to an end, or an unexpected entry happens, it's time to move to the next framing. This has also proven a handy skill for taping wedding receptions (if you're filming a scheduled dance like the first dance and wish to reposition yourself to get more POVs of that for editing, wait until the music changes—for instance, from a verse to a chorus or from a vocal passage to an instrumental one—and then move to the next location). Filming an Orchestra And now, the grand finale: filming a symphony orchestra with just one camera. I'm sure many of you have seen PBS productions featuring multiple cameras and lots of switching to make a sophisticated show. I've seen my share, and I don't think it is a problem to videotape an orchestra with a single camera if you do your homework. I've been lucky in that I'm already familiar with most of the standard orchestral repertoire from school, am able to hear entrances easily, and have an innate sense of "where to go" when the music moves from one passage or movement to another.
But everybody has to start somewhere, and the best place to start is with the conductor. The conductor is your best source of information for setting up for your orchestral shoot.
The conductor is the leader of the orchestra. She controls everything; she knows everything when it comes to her music. A skilled conductor knows her score inside out. Because of that, for your first several shoots, find out from the conductor what's important, who's soloing when, and if there are ensemble portions, musical "surprises," or other parts that matter so that you can focus on them. Take notes, and bring them with you to the shoot. Better yet, listen to the works before the shoot; you'll become familiar with those portions you need to recognize when shooting.
And when you're capturing that orchestral performance, above all, don't rush! If you hear an entrance you need to move to, do a nice, smooth pan to it. Since you're shooting this with a single camera, there are no edit outs, so make the movements count. Do some pull-zooms as necessary—pull wide at the end of a passage to show the group you've been concentrating on and the next group you're going to, and then zoom back in to show the new target group. Obviously, because the orchestra is populated with different classes of musical instruments, this won't work all the time, but will serve you well if you're shooting adjacent sections like winds to trumpets, winds to violas, violins to conductor, etc. Don't be afraid to zoom in on a soloist and dwell for a bit. Mix groupings up like the violins and conductor, cello and conductor, or percussion and French horns. If there's a harpist or piano, shoot them solo at times and with mixed combinations as the situation permits. Remember, don't make sudden moves because you won't be editing them out (although you should probably have a second, unmanned camera set wide rolling as a fallback until you feel comfortable enough to shoot solo).
My final, yet very important tip: Keep the conductor onscreen for at least half the concert, even if you need to frame her in with the entire violin or cello sections. Usually, the conductor is the one paying you.
There are many more intricacies involved in classical music videography, but in this article I wanted to provide an introduction to this specialized market. Classical music is one of the smallest segments of the music market, and this is reflected in the relatively limited availability of videography work in this niche. Ironically, listeners and supporters of classical music are also the smallest percentage of society—the wealthiest one!
The upside is that if you enjoy classical music, or if you want to widen your knowledge of the repertoire, this is a great chance to do so. Keep in mind that "classical" music isn't necessarily Beethoven and Mozart; there are plenty of new works commissioned yearly, computer music concerts, symphonic arrangements of rock songs, not to mention choral performances.
If you become adept at videotaping classical work, you may also develop a following. Many of my clients at Peabody were students from Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China (Peabody recruits new talent from Asia like NCAA basketball coaches cruise high schools here), and after a while, these students would refer friends coming to Maryland or the D.C. area to have me shoot their recitals—with not one bit of advertising on my part!

Feels board at first but plays good till the kevlar frays which was north of 30 hours, then I stopped counting. Ashaway 17 with Rip Control 17 at 68lbs. Very soft, good dwell time but the rip control crosses shredded in 2 hours. Forten and Ash Kevlar with Forten Sweet 16g crosses at 70lbs. Forten sweet 16 at high tensions is very harsh imo, not good for the elbow. Ashaway 17 with Og sheep micro 17 at 68lbs. A very economical setup, last a long time and pretty soft. I also tried msv hex 17 mains and forten sweet 16 at ~65lbs and this was pretty brutal on the arm. Going to try 18g kevlar with 17L msv hex at 65lbs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Maria Shriver's friends say she is angry "60 Minutes" did not get her point of view for a story on her ex-husband, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
They say she heard from the CBS news magazine show only after an interview with Schwarzenegger had been taped, TMZ reports. She would have been able to make only a general comment about his upcoming book, since she did not know what he had written, or what he said to CBS's Leslie Stahl.
Schwarzenegger and Shriver separated last year amid revelations he had fathered a child with their housekeeper. His book, "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story," is scheduled to hit bookstores Tuesday.
A source described the "60 Minutes" segment as pro-Schwarzenegger, using an obscenity.
"Leslie Stahl just fawned over him," the source told TMZ.
Shriver, a niece of President John F. Kennedy and senators Robert and Ted Kennedy, was a successful television journalist when she married Schwarzenegger in 1976. She resigned from NBC in 2004 after her husband became governor of California, although she took a leave of absence during the campaign.
Schwarzenegger did not give his ex-wife a chance to read the book before publication, the report said.
"She knows the book is a big PR stunt to get back in the public's good graces," a friend told TMZ.

Email Alerts Point to No-Fee ATMs
The 70,000-member, $1.7 billion Technology Credit Union in San Jose, Calif., and Houston-based Cardtronics Inc., the largest independent ATM deployer in the country, have teamed up to let members know about fee-free ATMs that they might be missing.
Dubbed FeeAlert, the Cardtronics program takes data from participating Tech CU members' ATM use and then sends the members an email if they pay a fee at an ATM which charges one.
Cardtronics is the parent company of the Allpoint Network, a nationwide system of fee-free ATMs in which Tech CU participates.
If a Tech CU member who is auto enrolled in the program pays a fee for ATM use, the ATM use data is sent to the FeeFree platform which then generates an email to the member that alerts them, using geo-location information, of fee-free ATMs that were close by and which might be used instead in the future.
"Tech CU is always looking for ways we can use technology to save our members time and money—and FeeAlert from Cardtronics is a great example," said Joe Anzalone, chief banking officer for Tech CU. "An easy-to-use, unobtrusive use of a smart technology, FeeAlert helps to further improve the Tech CU banking experience."
Rick Updyke, president, North America Business Group, for Cardtronics, said, "FeeAlert can't read minds, but it can send helpful reminders after a transaction, giving cardholders an opportunity to save the fee the next time around."

So yep. Still pregnant.
And yep. Still running :-)
Had a doctor's appointment yesterday and the baby's good. I'm good. But we do have a slight issue. Remember that fibroid tumor that was not supposed to be a problem? It's starting to look a little more like one. (For those of you just joining us, don't let the word tumor throw you. They're fairly common and also benign growths in the uterus, or at least that's where mine are. I have no idea if you can get them elsewhere. I have two. One's teeny tiny. The other, less so. That's the one I'm talking about.)
It was supposed to grow MAYBE a little more and move on upward and out of the way the more pregnant I got and the last time my OBGYN looked at it, that was pretty much the case.
Not so much anymore. It seems my new baby girl's in-utero play thing, has not only gotten bigger, but is also growing in the wrong direction effectively blocking a sizeable portion of her exit.
Now, at this point with both of my other daughters, we had some progress already. They were both dutifully head down and low and the exit doors were beginning to open. And although this baby is making a serious effort to do the same and get her head down, she just can't seem to move it entirely into position, thus no pressure on the doors without which have not shown the slightest hint of opening. **SIGH**
So what does all this mean exactly? Basically, we're just still waiting to see what happens. There's still a chance, according to my doc, that this big burly bouncer blocking the doorway could step aside and give my baby girl a pass. If not, then we're probably looking at a c-section which could possibly get a little messy if the fibroid is in the way, which it may or may not be.
In light of all this, I've got two requests:
1. If you've had a C-Section, please leave me a little comment on what it was like, recovery time, tips, etc. because, yeah, I'm a little nervous. I'm looking for words of encouragement here people. So please, no horror stories.
2. If you're of the praying type, I'd certainly appreciate a few offered up for my baby girl and I and a safe delivery one way or the other.
And on a positive note, it turns out that my 5 year old, The Little Miss may have been right about more than just the sex of the baby. She also told me a while back she was pretty sure how her sister would be coming out: via the belly button…with a burst of sparkles. Ok maybe no sparkles, but seriously, what are the odds?

ASUS Xonar D2 Sound Card and U1 USB Audio Station Reviews
Introduction and Features
One of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of modern PCs are their ability to output high-quality sound. Most of today's mid-range and high-end motherboards come with decent 7- or 8-channel audio controllers on board, but they still skimp on many advanced features that PC enthusiasts, gamers, and audio professionals use in their daily activities like gaming and video editing.
Creative's Audigy and X-Fi series of sound cards have had a stranglehold on this market for as long as I can remember. But, with the emergence of Windows Vista, several other companies have created their own sound cards to help level out the playing field and make it more competitive for consumers.
Two recent additions to the market are ASUS's Xonar D2 Sound Card and U1 USB Audio Station. Both cards are geared toward different types of consumers with different needs. The Xonar D2 was created to compete with the X-Fi and other high-end sound cards, while the U1 Audio Station was developed to taken on all competitors in the external audio solutions market.
We will be squaring off these two products against Creative's X-Fi Premium to see which sound solution comes out on top during our synthetic benchmarks as well as during use on some of the most power-hungry PC games on the market today.

Oh, no! There may not be enough 1080p displays this year
Please note that this isn't official information, so it may not be entirely true, but still, why should Digitimes make that stuff up? According to the rumor, the insufficient supply of 1080p screens is partly due to the impressive sales of the Sharp Aquos Phone in Taiwan, which makes use of the same type of screen. Unfortunately, the sources are unsure about exactly when Sharp might be able to catch up with demand. Let's hope this will happen before the major smartphone manufacturers start announcing their 1080p beasts, because 2013 surely shapes up as the year of the Full HD smartphone.
On another note, Sharp may have recently made a small breakthrough with regards to the production of its IGZO displays, and so it is believed that the company will be releasing a phone with such screen sometime this year. Hopefully, Sharp will be able to produce enough of these so that other manufacturers (Apple?) can also use them for their handsets.

Fine by me. 720p screens for cell phones are MORE than enough in terms quality/detail. 1080p is just a marketing gimmick. it was in the HDTV era and obviously its going to be again in the mobile world
9. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Inside sources claim the Note 3 may have a screen res greater than 1080p, same as nexus 10 but I like many, don't buy that for one sec. 720p will be pretty much be good as dead on any high end android so don't expect that to be the trend this year or next or ever, I would expect mid range to be using these types if screen thus pushing prices up

Couldn't agree with you more. Anyone could simply google it and find out than that the human eye can barely detect the difference between 720p and 1080p.
Now if we're talking like 80+ inch screens that's a different story, but if you've got an under 60 inch TV/smartphone, 720p is perfect.

I don't believe this... Earlier in 2012 there was a rumor that Qualcomm can't make enough S4 DualCore Krait chips for the market, but that didn't happened...

On a 5" display can the human eye differentiate between 720 and 1080?
12. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
If you have a good eyesight.
On a 4.7 inch, it would be almost impossible from the usual watching distance

if its pentile, yes definitely. I can still see those horrible sub-pixel-starved screens on s3 and galaxy camera :(( and thats only 4.8"

"Oh, no! There may not be enough 1080p displays this year"
There will be!

I dont think i can distinguish between 720p and 1080p that easily
so this news isnt that bad :)
27. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
I've seen the Droid DNA in person, the difference is negligible other than when you are viewing pictures and videos otherwise it is hard pressed to tell the difference. Although the viewing angles are superior to any 720p display I've come across. I have got generally good eyesight so I'm being biased, otherwise for the majority of people, there really is little to difference.
30. adelta90 (Posts: 63; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
well, currently i own a 3.5" 320x480 armv6 phone
i think that 1080p is the least of my concern :)

You still cant tell me that there is enough of a actual visual difference (not in your head) to justify the extra horsepower and battery needed for 1080p vs 720p. You cant tell the difference on a TV under like 36 inches.. yet your gonna tell me you can tell the difference at 5 inches on a phone? lol. Its in your head peeps.

29. andro. (Posts: 1999; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
You actually have a bit of a point there,the iPhone may actually get a HD compliant 720p screen this year so 1080p is not something which will come into the iPhone world for perhaps 2 generations yet.
24. phljcnth (Posts: 498; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I don't feel the need for 1080p smartphone displays as my eyes are not microscopic. They're only big on paper I suppose. What make more sense to me are the flexible display and impressive camera technology.

OCEAN CITY – The FY 2009 budget was passed in a 5-1 vote amongst the City Council this week, following an announcement from the Mayor regarding the potential for an additional drop in the proposed property tax rate.
Prior to the mandatory second reading of the budget Monday evening, Mayor Rick Meehan addressed taxpayers' concerns over the increasing property taxes in the resort, announcing what he deemed to be good news on the contentious issue.
Meehan announced that with the passing of the county budget by the County Commissioners this week, the resort could be looking at close to $2 million more in grant money than was received last year, money that could be used to lower the property tax rate in the resort.
Resort officials presented the county with a report on tax differential last year. A report that reflected nearly $13 million in tax differential that town officials felt should be directed to the resort.
"We met with Worcester County staff and, of course, their analysis of the report was different than ours, but they did agree with some of the rationale behind the report," said Meehan.
Despite efforts to garner funding in the form of a tax differential, the town was denied this year, receiving a letter from the county in early April, stating the commissioners were respectfully declining to implement tax differential this year.
Despite the setback, Meehan announced this week that the efforts were not done in vain, noting that the requests may have had an impact on the county's decision to grant extra funding this year.
"It appears that our grant request, the amount of money we receive, is $2 million more than last year," said Meehan Monday night.
Meehan proposed dedicating roughly $1.8 million of the grant money to the General Fund, a transfer that could yield a 1.5-cent decrease in the property tax rate from 39.5 cents per $100 of assessment to 38 cents. Meehan noted that the decrease would bring the town closer to the constant yield tax rate, 35 cents, than the town has been in a long time.
The remaining $200,000 would be used to address concerns over gas costs, as prices have increased nearly $1 per gallon since the budget was drawn up, and tax abatements, explained Meehan.
"This is an excellent opportunity to do something that we've all wanted to do," said Meehan. "I think, in these particular times, this is a good tax rate for Ocean City."
This came as a relief to Council member Margaret Pillas.
"This is wonderful news for our taxpayers. I'm really happy about this," said Pillas, who voted against the budget on first reading, encouraging the council and town officials to find ways to cut back on spending.
Pillas explained that while the tax drop was a good move, she would still vote against the budget, "because we didn't cut, we received revenue."

The children are our future, goes the hackneyed phrase. It is gag-inducing when issued from the mouths of politicians and celebrities, but its truth can't be denied.
Which makes it all the more important that we make strides to improve what is at present a severely inadequate effort to prepare today's students for tomorrow's world. A big step forward would be the advance of educational freedom on two fronts: liberating schools, teachers, and administrators from paralyzing red tape; and liberating parents from constraints on school choice.
Nancy Pelosi received well-deserved criticism for her grotesque attempt to defend the inclusion of birth control promotion in the economic stimulus bill. But Pelosi's tortured observations do point to a truth: It is not enough to bring children into the world. Economic resources are required to care for dependent young people, and the responsibility to provide the intellectual and moral education necessary for engagement of the world is serious.
Focusing on education is not a distraction from the pressing business of economic recovery; it is vital to ensuring it. When asked recently to explain the causes of the stagnation of the American economy, the first response of Paypal co-founder and CEO of Clarion Capital Peter Thiel was telling: "You have an educational system that is very broken."
Public schools absorb a lot of criticism for failing to ensure basic competency in their students, and for spending loads of money not doing it. Yet most administrators and teachers are dedicated to their jobs and sincerely concerned about the welfare of their students. One of the factors hampering success is excessive regulation, a product of a litigious culture and overweening government involvement in education.
To cite but one troubled area, countless hours and dollars are now spent ensuring the "safety" of students by adhering to strict standards concerning everything from classroom supplies to cafeteria furniture. Parents rightly expect due caution to be exercised by those entrusted with the lives of their children every day, but safety regulations enforced on schools exceed what most of us demand in our own homes. All of this distracts from the core mission of the school.
Evidence continues to suggest that private schools educate more efficiently than public ones. Yet the largest private system in the country, Catholic schools, continue to struggle: A New York Times article last month—prompted by the announcement of another raft of school closures in the city—noted that the number of students in Catholic schools is half what it was in the 1960s.
Declining private school enrollment should not be taken as an indication that parents are satisfied with conventional public schools. That demand for alternatives persists is proved by a recent report from the National Center for Education Statistics, showing a 36 percent rise in the number of homeschooled children from 2003 to 2007 (now standing at 1.5 million, almost 3 percent of the school population). Interest in choice within the public arena—for example, charter schools and open enrollment—remains high as well.
Declining private enrollment is more likely due to the fact that families, especially in a downturn, increasingly cannot afford to support two school systems, one through their taxes and another through their tuition. States should promote public school alternatives, fostering competition and greater efficiency. Charter schools could be utilized more liberally. Tax breaks offer incentives for parents to choose private schools and relieve the overall public funding burden. Federal authorities have offered some help this year by permitting income tax deductions for local property taxes. States could follow suit by allowing similar deductions for the purpose of tuition payments or homeschooling expenses.
As states look for ways to balance their budgets, some might bristle at the cost of extending tax breaks or vouchers. Yet it's not clear that the end result would be negative for the state budgets. Tax deductions might be offset by gains reaped by shifting school populations to private alternatives. Competition at the local level might spur public schools to higher efficiency. Significantly, pressure to remove expensive regulation would increase.
More important than this year's budget or next year's deficit is the economic viability of the next century. Without a sound educational system, the prospects dim considerably. It should be clear by now that prosperity depends on both technical expertise and moral integrity. Neither can be achieved without bringing freedom to our schools. In existing schools, staff must be permitted to teach and discipline in a way that cultivates virtue and suppresses vice. Where schools have failed, parents must be encouraged to select more effective options for their children.
School reform and school choice are not peripheral to economic recovery and future prosperity. They are essential.

Title:What Is Bad and What Is Good.
The loss of something is sometimes alright, sometimes bad. Depends on what is it that is lost. When the air left my lungs, I thought this is a bad loss, well, a bad loss for those who cared. When I lost my hand, I thought that was a bad loss. When I lost my life as a human, I wasnt bothered. When I lost the chance to move freely amongst people as a human, I wasnt that bothered. When I lost the security of my disguise, I was scared. But the loss of my friends was the worst of all.

Life is good for us Bay Area baseball fans
A summer evening, a garage, a BMW to wrench on, a glass of some nice grape and the giants on the radio.....Almost as good as riding
Go Yankees!

"If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time...I'd relax,I'd limber up... I would take fewer things seriously...take more chances... take more trips...climb more mountains...swim more rivers...eat more ice cream." Jorge Luis Borges at age 85.
Baseball: 9 overpaid individuals standing on a grass and dirt field, waiting for something to happen. In a perfect game, they do almost nothing. Wow, how exciting...
Basketball: 2 teams of overpaid individuals. Run down the court, shoot the ball. Pound chest. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Yawn.
Football: 2 teams of mostly overpaid individuals, whose sport has been recently been emasculated through rule changes designed to take the impact out of the game. Wasn't that one of the reasons we watch (and played as youngsters) in the first place?
NASCAR: Bombastic, egotistical drivers that for some reason can't drive in the rain. Please.
MotoGP: Great display of technology applied to two-wheel racing, but unfortunately the technology now overshadows the rider's skills. Proof: Last week's MotoGP race, when rain became the (mostly) equalizer.
Isle of Mann: YES! Real racing. Man and machine against the fabled road course. Bikes whizzing through towns at over 100 mph. Riders missing stone mileage markers with their elbows by mere inches at top speed. Racing in the rain, fog, sunshine, etc.
Ok, I feel better now.

Kinda sad that the haters feel the need to poop in the corn flakes.
BTW, "my" team won in extra innings last night with a walk off home run.........great fun
That fat man can hit! Could be why he was MVP of the World Series.
There is a difference between hate and not understanding...isn't it a shame that all the money we (that's the collective, societal "we") pump into professional sports couldn't be more productively invested in our future...like paying teachers what they are truly worth, properly supporting our first responders, taking care of our troops, caring for our elderly, etc. Instead we spend billions of dollars to watch a privileged, elite athlete class demonstrate their prowess at skills that have little impact (other than making us feel good) on our society. Someone tell me what makes a single baseball player worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Sigh...capitalism at its finest.
Not hating at all. I wish you all the best at your next baseball game, as you pay for that $9 beer. I guess someone has to pay for those athlete salaries.
Ya see, most of us have the type of respect for this forum that when a person starts a thread about their apparent love of something, such as BMW's and baseball, we refrain from jumping in with our personal diatribe.
When you decide to get down off that horse your on, be careful, you are a loooooooong way from the ground
Yeah, no kidding. I'm assuming the person doesn't go to movies or watch television, either, with all those overpaid actors and actresses out there.
I will agree with the comment about teachers, but that could be said for other professions as well.
I like BMW's and baseball as well.

Had the ball game on the other day when working on bike, almost went to sleep, put on 80's rock/pop station and got back to work. Different strokes, and so on. When I played baseball it was fun, of course then my Dad wouldn't permit a motorcycle in the garage.

Sookie, the main character from HBO's True Blood (based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series by Charlaine Harris), has plenty of problems on her hands these days. One of her vampire ex-boyfriends has become something of a religious evangelist who now sees humans as little more than food. Another ex- is on the run from the first ex-. A werewolf who she was about to hop into bed with now finds her repulsive (and not only because she threw up on him in the heat of the moment).
But on this week's episode, the show's lead character may have added to her problems by insulting a heartland rocker so ornery he named himself "Little Bastard."
When addressing the "Faerie Elder," she had to answer questions about contemporary musicians, including one about a certain Indiana rocker. "John Cougar Mellencamp: for or against?"
"Against!" was the unfortunate response. And a sort of ungrateful response at that: episode 2 of this season featured Mellencamp's "Authority Song" covered by Bosco Delrey. (The nickname "Little Bastard," a reference to both Mellencamp's size and demeanor, is something he's owned up to; he gave himself production credit as "Little Bastard" on his 1985 Scarecrow album.) (photo credit: Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images)
Not all acts fared as poorly as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer/songwriter: when asked "Boyz II Men: For or against?" Sookie responded "For!"
However, pop singer Ke$ha is barely a blip on the Sookie radar: when asked about the hard-partying singer she said, "I'm not that familiar with her music," was the response.
Echoing the sentiment of some of the singer's critics, the elder exclaimed, "She doesn't really sing, does she? She talks. I suppose that makes her some sort of poet. Which is alarming: her spelling is atrocious!"
Whatever your opinion of Ke$ha, the exchange gave some clue to when the show takes place: her debut album came out in 2010, which sets the events of the show in the current era.
Some lesser-known artists got airtime this week: Gayle Lynn and The Hired Hands' "Rodeo Queen" played during a scene at Merlottes, Derrick Stout's "Little Girl Wandered Off" was on the radio during a segment at Alcide's father's house, and The Heavy's "What Makes A Good Man" was heard in Fangtasia while fan-favorite Pam was arrested. (The latter song is off of The Heavy's Glorious Dead album, due in stores tomorrow).
The episode, titled "Sunset," featured an obscure Stevie Wonder song (also called "Sunset") during the credits. Released on the 1962 album Tribute To Brother Ray (i.e. Ray Charles), it was recorded when Wonder was just 12 years old.
True Blood Music Supervisor Gary Callamar tells CBS Local that "We originally had a different song and a different title for the episode but the song wasn't quite working." And he admits, the idea to use the song didn't come from him. "The writer/producer of the episode Angela Robinson played us this obscure Stevie Wonder song. We all agreed that it was right for the vibe and atmosphere, and it was right to close the show."
— Brian Ives, CBS Local

A Palestinian man holds prayer beads as his family gathers inside their damaged home, which police said was targeted in an Israeli air strike, in Gaza City July 17, 2014. Israeli shelling killed four Palestinian boys on a Gaza beach, an incident the military called tragic, and Israel and Hamas said they would cease attacks for five hours for a humanitarian truce requested by the United Nations. Palestinian militants fired more than 130 rockets into Israel on the ninth day of a war in which Israeli attacks have killed 216 Palestinians. Most of the casualties were civilians, health officials in Gaza said. In Israel, a civilian has been killed by one of more than 1,000 Palestinian rockets fired and more than half a dozen people have been wounded.

However I was informed that there was an exception to this rule when there was a Harley run that occurred some time not to long ago that allowed motorcycles up to Baxter State Park.
Does anyone have further info concerning this exception??

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Hand Wash / Suitable for: Hand "
Tesco Honeysuckle and silk handwash
This is a really great handwash if you are trying to keep costs down. Tesco sell a range of these silk handwashes and also others with aloe vera and anti bacterial ones too and they are all pretty good value. This one cost 55p for 500ml which is a bargain compared to the branded ones I feel. I also find it lasts well as you don't need to use more than a pump's worth to wash your hands.
This is a very pale creamy yellow colour with a slight pearly quality and is a pretty thick liquid soap. The smell is floral, a bit like a honeysuckle not surprisingly with a sort of vanilla creaminess. I thought it couldn't actually contain silk but it does have a lovely silky feel to it when you use it. It also leaves my hands pleasantly moisturised and I don't feel like I have to go running for hand cream after I have washed my hands with this.
I have sensitive skin and have had no adverse reaction, I also have had no comment from my step daughter who suffers from eczema and is often over here. I use it for my nearly three year old granddaughter too when she is over here at least twice a week often more.
This is one that I have just finished and it has been in our downstairs loo for about two month. We all use the downstairs loo during the day and so do visitors so it gets a lot of use. I also feed ancient and decrepit cat in there to keep her food away from the younger more voracious cats and after feeding her I always wash my hands, this is also the first port of call for hand washing when i have been in the garden. This little hand basin and the soap in here gets more use than any other in our house and so two months for 55/60p is pretty good value.
It tells me on the front of the bottle that they have very kindly added moisturisers and natural extracts whatever they might be. Needless to say this does have sodium laureth sulphate as a surfactant and various other chemical sounding ingredients but about half way through the list 'Lonicera Caprifolium 'Extract which is Japanese Honeysuckle as well as 'hydrolyzed silk' is listed so it has indeed got both ingredients from the name of the product in amongst all the other more chemical sounding ones.
This does not ever claim to be fair-trade or eco friendly and at that price it cannot really be expected. This is not a product you buy to proclaim your eco friendly efforts. The bottle is however fully recyclable through where ever you recycle your plastics. The bottle is clear plastic so you can easily see how much of the product is left and you can go and buy a replacement in time before the old one runs out which I find useful.
The back of the bottle professes to be soap free and ph balanced so suitable for all to use. It will sting your eyes so if it does get in your eyes rinse thoroughly with lots of water.
This is a pretty good very cheap but effective and moisturising hand wash which I buy regularly in either this flavour or one of the others for a change. This is not anti bacterial so I don't have this in my kitchen where I always chose an anti bacterial hand wash as I feel it is important when handling food.
Once you have opened this you need to use this within 24months which is pretty likely even though it is a big bottle at 500ml I can't really see anyone using it for two years.
This is not the most exciting product but for the price I feel it is excellent value for money. It cleans my hands even when I have been gardening and have really muddy hands but never leaves them feeling dried out at all.
This is one product I buy regularly in the various scented options as I feel it is great value for money and smells good too.
Thanks for reading. This review may be posted on other sites under my same user name.
This hand wash is a bargain at 55p for a fairly large 500 ml bottle from Tesco, making it a mere 11p per 100 ml, so I thought it was worth a try at that price!
It does not stand out as looking particularly cheap although the packaging is simple. The current bottle is slightly different to the Dooyoo picture as it has been updated. It now says creamy hand wash in large letters, with honeysuckle and silk written underneath. It also informs that it contains added moisturisers and natural extracts, although I think natural extracts is a bit vague as that could mean anything! Anyway this is not something I am embarrassed to have out in my bathroom as it looks fine. The bottle has a standard pump top dispenser, which is easy and convenient. It dispenses a good amount of hand wash - it is not such a stingy amount that you feel you want to press twice, but neither do they give loads and waste it!
The hand wash lathers up a decent amount in my wet hands. I wouldn't say it is the most generously lathering hand wash I have ever used, but it is perfectly adequate. The hand wash itself does have a creamy texture as the packaging suggests, and it is also a creamy colour. The lather it creates feels quite moisturising, more so than most of the hand washes which are more of a gel than a cream style. It does not leave my hands feeling really stripped and dried out. However, I do still feel like I want to use a hand cream after washing my hands with this, but then I am someone who generally likes to use a lot of hand creams. A lot of people using this in the house have been happy to just wash their hands and go, with no complaints of hands feeling rough or needing a hand cream or anything. I have not had any kind of irritation from it.
The scent is pleasant, lightly sweet and floral, but certainly not too strong and overwhelming at all. I don't find it lingers very long on my hands. My hands are left perfectly clean after washing.
Overall it's not a product to rave about as it's quite standard and nothing too special, but it is quite nice and does the job. For the price, I do think it is worth recommending and for 55p I would be happy to buy this again.
We all need to wash our hands after using the toilet and it is important to have nice clean hands and remove those nasty germs that lurk on the hands after using the toilet, YUK, I always was my hands after using the toilet and I also wash them on a regular basis throughout the day to make sure I do not have any bacteria as I have a not so good immune system and the less germs on my hands the better my health will be.
This one comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a pump dispenser, it is a nice pale yellow colour, the liquid is a really nice texture, it is quite a rich one it is very smooth and soft, only a little is needed on the hands to lather well and it feels nice and soft on my hands while washing them. It is so soft that it is like rubbing in a thin moisturiser into the hands when it is first placed onto the hands before adding water, after the water is added it then lathers well. It has added moisturisers and natural extracts and so it conditions the hands after and while using. It is easy to rinse from the hands in no time at all and it has left my hands feeling nice and soft and moisturised and my hands have been fine and not too dry after use.
This one only cost me only 55p at the time when I was on a budget and a 500ml bottle from Tesco, it is their own brand but not the value one, it is their more middle range of products. It does look nice and attractive in the bathroom and I think it would be nice even if placed in the kitchen, although I do not leave mine in my kitchen as I live in a bungalow and it is just as easy for me to go into my bathroom when I need to wash my hands.
This one tells me on the bottle that it is soap free and it has a really nice soft fragrance, the pump at the top of the bottle is easy to twist and open, it can be locked if needed but I always usually leave mine on open but I think as my grandson gets a little older I may have to close it because he is at the moment always wanting to wash his hands lol but this is good because he is learning to wash them and be hygienic too and so I have to allow him to wash them all the time when he wishes to do so lol, cannot argue with that can I lol.
This hand wash has been used so much over the Christmas holidays as I have guests almost everyday as I entertain quite a lot as I love guests over to stay at my home too and this has been just perfect for my guests and family.
It is suitable for all the family and my grandson has very delicate skin as all the little ones do and I have myself and his hands have been fine after using this hand wash and it has not left his or mine with any irritation at all.
This is highly recommend as I think it is a super one and very affordable and it is excellent value for the very cheap price and I will buy it again in the future as I really love this one and it has served me well when I was on a lower budget. A lovely one for any budget in my opinion.
I give this one 5 stars.
Thank you for reading my review.
Happy new year to everyone xxx.
I have been working in a large format printers for a number of years now and every day I have to handle graphics printed on to material which could easily pick up dirty marks or finger prints if my hands were unclean and so I have to wash them several times a day to make sure I don't ruin anything.
Recently at work I have been using a Honeysuckle and Silk Hand wash from Tesco which is currently 55 pence on their website for 500ml which compared to some really well known brands is amazing value. As you would expect it is stored in a bottle with a pump action top to apply the liquid to your hands. When you use the pump especially when the bottle is still quite full you need to be careful as the hand wash can really fly out quickly and if your hands are not positioned correctly it can get on to your clothes by mistake.
The liquid is fairly thick and the colour of it is kind of cream or magnolia in appearance, to be honest both the consistency and the colour remind me of a pale custard but I love custard so this is ok. It smells quite pleasant which I assume is the honeysuckle and you can still smell the fragrance on your hands for some time afterwards. The label states that the formulation of this product is soap free, pH balanced and suitable for all family members. As I said before I often have to wash my hands during the course of my day but using this hand wash has never left them dry or irritated, this must be a lot to do with the fact that it has added moisturisers and natural extracts. We are all being encouraged to dispose of our refuse correctly and create less waste and in the spirit of this the empty bottle can be recycled. This has left my hands feeling clean, soft and smelling lovely without being overpowering and for the price that it costs it is an extremely reliable and brilliant hand wash to have in your bathroom or kitchen.
I think it would be fair enough to admit that most of us are trying to save the pennies. I tend to find that one of the places I don't cut back on enough, through habit more than anything else is the health and beauty isle in Tesco. However, I am becoming more conscious of the amount of money I can spend down that isle and have now started opting for cheaper alternatives where I can. One item that has now started appearing in my trolley is the Tesco Honeysuckle and Silk hand wash.
A 500ml bottle will set you back a massive 55p! This is very cheap when you compare it to the likes of Carex which will cost you over double that price for half as much liquid. This is one of those products where you will have to use your knees and bend down to find as it's never on an obvious shelf. The bottle itself is clear so you can see the creamy looking hand wash inside. I think the picture on DooYoo somehow makes the bottle look a bit cheap and not too nice. However, I think it would look fine sat on either your bathroom or kitchen side, without being poured in to a different container. The bottle claims the hand wash has 'added moisturisers and natural extracts ' and is 'soap free, pH balanced and suitable for all the family.'
The hand wash does smell really nice. It's very floral because of the honeysuckle but it does also smell slightly rich and creamy. I am yet to have any complaints from any men about it smelling too floral! The smell also stays on your hands for quite a while after washing which is quite pleasant. When it comes to using the hand wash the pump works well (your not pumping it for hours to get a tiny little blob of hand wash) and the product when it comes out is not too runny. Whilst using the hand wash it foams up nicely but is also easy to wash off meaning you aren't left with any sticky residue on your hands. I think what is most surprising about this hand wash is that it doesn't dry out your hands. This really shocked me as I wasn't expecting it to do very well and thought I would need to be applying hand moisturiser after every use.
I would definitely recommend this hand wash it's a real bargain buy which works a treat!
The pump is distinctive by its oblong shape. It is taller than it is wide and tapers in an arch shape towards the lid. The shape is attractive since it is both different to most currently on the market and aesthetically pleasing.
The plastic packaging is transparent yet very slightly opaque and even the label blocks out only the honeysuckle flower design and lettering giving a quality appearance.
The soap itself is a warm creamy peach colour and shows through as slightly textured making you anticipate a luxurious creamy liquid.
Although I am always glad to find a bargain, many of the "value" range handwashes are abrasive or cheap looking - for an own brand this handwash presents itself surprisingly attractively.
**Pump it up!
The pump mechanism is easy to open and is so aligned that it is possible for the pump lever to face any way you wish - always a bonus especially since I have ended up in the past with a soap dispenser that will only face to the rear!
The plastic is good quality and sturdy and the tap does not drip after use so there is little waste. One pump alone is sufficient for a handwashing dollop.
Another bonus is that the drawing straw for the pump extends almost to the base of the bottle. I have previously purchased pump soaps only to find the straw so short as to be rendered useless beyond about half way down the bottle. Not so here.
**What is it?
It's known to most people as "soap" but apparently it's not! It's handwash! Described on the label as Tesco Handwash Honeysuckle & Silk with added moisturisers and natural extracts, the rear of the label adds that the idea is to leave your hands clean (glad about that!) and soft. "The formulation is soap free, ph balanced and suitable for all the family."
Not sure which bits come from the magnolia but "hydrolyzed silk" is mentioned!
The label also contains handy instructions on how to use the product and details of how to cope whould the product ill-advisedly make contact with your eyes.
**How much for how much?
500ml of this handwash will set you back a mere 60p.
There are plenty of cheap handwash products available from supermarkets these days, but this one stands out as being attractively presented for your money and doesn't have VALUE RANGE or CHEAP MUCK emblazoned across it as a continual reminder of your frugality or stinginess!
**Does it work?
I have tested this handwash after gardening, before and after making pastry and following ink use.
The wash is indeed soft and creamy to the touch. It lathers well and does not feel at all harsh or drying. It struggled a little with the challenge of inky hands but made good headway and was certainly no worse than any of the other soaps, sorry, handwashes I have used hitherto.
The handwash has a strong initial floral perfume but as it lathers the aroma becomes sweeter and not at all over powering. My hands are left smelling refreshingly clean.
I am struggling to find something negative to say. Recyclability is an issue, circumvented as usual by a recycling sign for "where facilities exist". I must admit to removing the pump mechanism and optimistically adding the empty bottle to our plastic bottle banks. I hope the facility copes with such thick plastic - no one seems sure!
Beyond that, this is a refreshing smelling, creamy handwash which does the job without over drying and looks sufficiently attractive on your family sink. You could even match your towels with it to complete the effect!
Thanks for reading.
Cutecandy (also on ciao)
The handwash in my bathroom was finally used up about a week before we went on our big shop to Tesco and in between we were using a regular bar of soap to wash our hands, but we decided to buy more handwash because it's more convenient to use. On our shop at Tesco I browsed the aisles for a cheap handwash that we could buy - no frills shopping at it's best, and ended up picking this one.
The product:
The handwash comes in a 500ml plastic bottle with a pump action top - to activate this you have to turn it around and it pops up. The liquid is quick a thick consistency - it comes out of the bottle easily enough but is not so runny that it falls off your hands and into the sink before you get the chance to rub your hands together. The honeysuckle scent is subtle and pleasant, staying on your hands for some time after washing.
The handwash does a good job at removing even quite stubborn dirt - I washed my car earlier and then put black polish on all the plastic exterior parts so my hands were quite dirty when I went to wash them earlier, and this handwash managed to get it all off without too much difficulty.
Tesco's prices seem to vary quite alot but when I bought this last week (April 2010) it was 60p for a bottle (regular price, no special offers) which I think is very decent for the amount you get, especially compared to other available products.
Things of interest/note:
- The handwash contains no soap
- The bottle is recyclable
For my purposes this is a product I will continue to buy as it is perfectly adequate for the needs of my household and spending more money on a branded product would be an unnecessary waste. The handwash does claim to have moisturising qualities and I can't say I particularly found this to be true (although it didn't dry them out either) - not something that bothered me, but may be something to consider if you have very dry hands. Overall I would recommend this handwash.
I have this product placed at all my sinks in the house. I find that with the pump action nosil it is ease to use. It comes in a clear 500ml bottle with "Tesco, handwash honeysuckle and silk" written on the front in orange.
The formulation is soap free and pH balanced and it says that it is sutible for the whole family. It says that you should avoid contact with eyes and after using it with a cut on my hand you should avoid using it with cuts too. It stings for ages and no amount of rincing can get it all out.
It states that it has added moisturisers in the product but im not to sure. When i use this product you get a great lather going and it smells fantastic but after drying my hands i dont feel like they are moisturised. They feel clean and smell lovley and they are not at all dry, but they feel clean in a non - soft way.
Overall the product is ok, but i think that there are better products on the market with the same smell. I will continue using it in the house until i have run out, but i dont think that i will be using it again, it just didnt softern my hands enough.
My constant quest to save money on basic household items continued with my recent purchase of Tesco Honeysuckle and Silk Handwash. It cost me just 48 pence for 500 ml of handwash, which is very cheap when you consider that many of the more expensive brands such as Carex, Palmolive, Imperial Leather or Simple will charge you between £1 and £3 for 250 to 350 ml.
The handwash scores points immediately because it looks nice. It doesn't look posh, but it doesn't look cheap either and certainly doesn't shout out that it's a value product. I'd be perfectly happy to have it on display in my bathroom. The bottle is clear so you can see how much handwash you have left, and it is a nice curved design. On the top is a clear plastic pump, and on the front is the name of the handwash in orange along with a nice delicately drawn picture of a honeysuckle flower.
The information on the back of the handwash bottle says that it has been 'specially created with added moisturisers and natural extracts to leave your hands feeling clean and soft'. The handwash is soap free, pH balanced and can be used by all members of the family.
Using the handwash is easy. You press down on the pump and an appropriate amount of the handwash is released into your hand. I don't find that you get trails of handwash dripping from the pump afterwards like you do with some handwashes, so that's a positive.
The handwash is a lovely light yellow colour and has a nice smell of honeysuckle. It is not a very strong smell but you can tell you're using a scented handwash and afterwards the scent stays on your hands for a little while. The handwash lathers up nicely and washes off easily. It leaves my hands feeling normal, not particularly moisturised but not at all dry as some handwashes leave them.
I think this is an excellent bargain and it is one I will be buying again. It is not as moisturising as the Palmolive Milk and Honey handwash that I like or as nice smelling as the Imperial Leather Japanese Spa one that I have tried, but it is much cheaper than both and is an excellent substitute.
This handwash also comes in a Magnolia flavour and a Cornflower and Silk flavour. It is only available from Tesco, of course!

My problem is that I need to find a way to be able to dynamically create a list of objects that are being declared in an outside file. In the outside.h file I need to declare the class and declare the actual object to make it global to all files. Inside of the outside.cpp file I will put all of the class's functions. Inside of main.cpp is where I will be determining the amount of objects in the list. As the program continues I may need to go back and add another object.
To make it more clearer I have a class for my enemies, and I'm going to need to be able to store the information for each enemy inside of an object. The amount of objects is going to vary from time to time as each enemy is being created and dying. My guess is that I'm going to need to delete some of the objects and be adding new ones all the time.
I've got somewhat of an idea on how to achieve all of this, and that's about it.

I'm so impatient! I have spent HOURS cruising ebay, craigslist, etsy, etc. for a good vintage machine. I'm so discouraged. Everything is so ridiculously priced it is unbelievable! And the things that are cheap are junked out machines that I won't be able to find parts for to fix. I went antiquing today and found nothing. :( A new machine is starting to look like the best deal. I wish I liked the old cast iron Singers! I do like the Rocketeer and the 301A is okay, but everything is so overpriced! For instance, I saw a totally junky Singer from probably the 1920's ... it was dirty, looked rusted over and it was priced at $135! I mean, REALLY? LOL
Ughh... what is a girl to do!?

Hi! I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Leslie and live in central Ohio. I started quilting about 20 years ago. Then about 10 years ago I stepped out of quilting for a while to do scrapbooking while my son was young - seemed more important at that point to capture the pictures and stories behind them and I was struggling to keep up with quilting, scrapbooking, being a mom, and working full time. I always knew I would return to quilting some day, even though my hubby was sure all that "quilt stuff" was just taking up space.
About a year ago I had an opportunity to go to a small weekend quilt retreat with a few friends. I picked a couple table runner patterns to start out small. I spent 2 hours at the beginning just remembering how things worked on my machine and practicing a perfect 1/4" seam. In those 3 days I pieced a table runner using batiks and did a quilt as you go table runner using fall colors. I was back to quilting!
