Manual transmissions allow drivers to shift between gears manually while simultaneously regulating power and speed. Manual transmissions have a clutch, flywheel, gear selector fork, collars, gears, and shafts. A shaft supplies power from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is responsible for connecting and disconnecting the shaft from the transmission. The stick shift controls the gear selector fork by choosing gears. These gears and shafts are responsible for routing power from the engine to the transmission and to the drive wheels. Manual transmission fluid cleans the internal gears, shafts, bearings, and other components. Transmission fluid also helps to regulate the internal temperatures of the transmission. A manual transmission service will ensure that your transmission fluid is clean and the rest of the components are fit for operation.
A manual transmission service is essential for keeping your manual transmission in optimal condition. Because the transmission fluid naturally degrades over time, replacing the fluid is important for keeping gears and shafts moving smoothly. Sometimes leaks occur in the transmission and a reseal may be required. Other times, the clutch will slip or refuse to engage or disengage. Noises are also a sign that something is not working correctly in your vehicle's transmission. All manual transmission components require maintenance from time to time. At some point in the life of your transmission, a fluid change will be necessary to keep your manual transmission operating efficiently. Consulting your owner's manual for service intervals will help in planning for a specific manual transmission service before a breakdown or malfunction occurs. Manual transmission repairs will help extend the life of the transmission and optimize the performance of your vehicle.
We proudly service the Manual Transmission Repair needs of customers in Huntington Beach, CA, Costa Mesa, CA, Fountain Valley, CA, and surrounding areas.

The Hive, Seoul
Exploring the reality of living and working as a foreigner in a foreign land, the show looked at the experience of feeling trapped in a strange place, the adrenaline rush of wanting to encounter everything at once and the paralyzing fear that nails us to the ground. The performance invited the Seoul community to venture into the land of the lost and explore the different paths that lead us to new possibilities.
Playing in an underground nightclub, the show turned the audience into blind villagers who participated in the building of their land as they experienced the force of a sighted foreigner entering their space with his own ideas. The performance allowed the audience to debate and choose the result of 'the foreigner's' exploits.
This site-specific performance was a collaboration of artists Simon Magnus, Oliver Bedford, and Kate Hamm that used H. G. Wells' short story, The Country of the Blind, as a springboard for a show that combined shadow puppetry, object theatre, mime, clowning and much more.
Wells' story was inspired by the old proverb, "In the Country of the Blind the One-Eyed Man is King." In his story a man is lost in a mountainous region and falls down a snowy cliff to find himself in a strange valley. Due to a mysterious illness centuries earlier, the people there have evolved without eyes. His challenge to communicate with the people and his need to show them what they've been missing drives him to derision.

Hanoi – The Capital Of Vietnam
Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam with almost 4 million inhabitants, situated at the banks of the River Red almost 1700 kilometers away from Saigon, which is now called Ho Chi Minh City. It is the second largest city in the country and boasts a long and complicated history. Although it has always been the commercial and cultural hub of Vietnam since 1010, from 1887 to 1954 it was also the Capital City of the Indochine. It became capital of North Vietnam until 1976.
Hanoi boasts a long history; it is said that the first residents came to the area 3000 years before Christ, while there are remains of a large settlement from 250 BC. Despite the long history, the city became famous due to two wars; first of all during the World War Two, the city was occupied by the Japanese who stayed there until the end of the War. Ho Chi Minh proclaimed Vietnam independent in 1945, but one year later the French reign fell once more to the country. However, this time, the Vietnamese fought the French and managed to get rid of them nine years later, when North Vietnam became independent.
The second very know moment in the history of Hanoi, which you can find in every travel guide, refers to the War in Vietnam. The city was heavily bombed and most of the constructions and infrastructure of the city, such as bridges, railways and buildings were completely destroyed. The conditions of living for the habitants were quite hard as no transportation and no support came during the war.
In 1976, when North and South Vietnam merged, Hanoi became the capital city of the united country of Vietnam and is still the cultural centre of the country, featuring gorgeous monuments for the thousands of tourists that started visiting the country since the 80s.

Marni Sumbal
I have to say, never had I had to sacrifice so many things in my life!! Although graduate school was difficult and time consuming, I was not an IM athlete, I was not married and I did not have 3 furry children. So while I have sacrificed my training routine, my anticipated races, social events and traveling with my hubby, I have not sacrificed by love for exercise and wholesome food.
In the April 2011 issue of Nutrition Action there was a great article on Yogurt. Here are a few facts (YOGURT 101):
1. What makes yogurt?
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Those are the two strains of bacteria that companies add to milk to make yogurt. Many brands also add other bacteria.
2. If the label doesn't have a "Live and Active Cultures" symbol is it still yogurt?
Almost certainly. As long as it contains live L. Bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, it's yogurt. To qualify for the symbol, a yogurt has to have at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time it's manufactured. Some companies (like Stonyfield) don't use the symbol, even though they could (provided they pain the National Yogurt Association yearly fee). Just watch out for yogurt-covered pretzels and candies. Their "yogurt" coatings are largely oil and sugar. And any yogurt powder they contain has likely been "heat treated" enough to kill the yogurt's bacteria.
3. What can yogurt's cultures do?
The only well-documented benefit: they turn milk's naturally occurring sugar (lactose) into lactic acid, so people who are lactose intolerant have less diarrhea, gas or other symptoms when they eat yogurt. Many people believe that yogurt can help restore beneficial bacteria to the gut after a course of antibiotics, but no good studies have tested yogurt with live cultures against a placebo (yogurt with heat-treated cultures). Ditto for treating yeast infections.
4. What are the best yogurts?
Yogurt should be a decent source of protein and calcium without loading you down with saturated fat, sugar, or unsafe sweeteners. Just how much is enough (or too much) of each depends on the serving size. Some brands add 10-50 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin D. But missing vitamin D isn't a reason to pass over some of the best-tasting calcium and protein-rich yogurts, many of which have no added D.
Coming soon...a yummy creative dish with Greek Yogurt!

Often, you can make space for books in your hallways, dining room, and even your bedroom. We touched upon the topic in a previous article. If you are still not getting enough space to add a library, contact a local Interior Design Company Singapore for help. Before you do that, you may want to consider the following 3 practical home-library ideas for small homes.
1. Hallways
The whole point of a hallway is to connect one room to another. And you may have more than one hallway in your home. So why not utilize them to make a library. You can buy portable bookshelves and place them through your hallways. Just make sure the color and designs complement your existing interior décor theme.
2. Dining room
Chances are that your dining room is capable of accommodating a library of books along the walls. Even if you can place bookshelves along two of the walls, it should be enough for you make space for you books.
3. Bedroom
If you have a habit of reading books in the bed, it would be a great idea to place some free standing bookshelves in your bedroom. You can also consider keeping some books on the headboard. When you have books in the bedroom itself, you do not have to carry them from another room. Consider using a reading lamp that can be placed comfortably right over your book, so you can read lying in the bed.
Guess what! You can even make space for books in your kitchen or bathroom. However, if you want to bring these ideal to life, you should hire a professional Interior Design Company.

Financial Fair Play Regulations approved
The UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, which have the support of all stakeholders in European football, have been approved by UEFA's Executive Committee.
UEFA's Executive Committee has today unanimously approved the new UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, submitted to the committee with the support of all stakeholders in European football.
After a phased implementation over three years – 2010, 2011 and 2012 – the main cornerstone of the regulations, the break-even requirement, enters into force for the financial statements of the reporting period ending 2012, to be assessed during the 2013/14 UEFA club competition season.
Commenting on this key decision for the future well-being of European football, UEFA president Michel Platini said: "We have worked on the financial fair play concept hand-in-hand with the clubs, as our intention is not to punish them but to protect them. We have an agreement with the clubs. The philosophy is that you cannot spend more money than you generate.
"This approval today is the start of an important journey for European football's club finances as we begin to put stability and economic common sense back into football. I thank all the stakeholders who have supported this along the way."
The full UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, edition 2010, will be published in June and will be available on UEFA.com. Clubs will be assessed on a risk basis, taking into account debts and salary levels, as well as the following main pillars:
• Break-even requirement – clubs must not spend more than they generate over a period of time
• No overdues payable during the season – towards other clubs, employees and/or social/tax authorities
• Provision of future financial information – to ensure clubs can meet their future obligations.

Wayland Anderson
During the period of September 2012- September 2013, Wayland Anderson has worked hard to share his passion for dance with Columbia and to give the city the great art that it both wants and deserves through performance, choreography and education. He has also sought to show the nation the huge amount of dance talent and creativity happening in our city. Recently promoted Soloist with the Columbia City Ballet, Anderson performed throughout the season originating roles in the spring 2013 productions of "Snow White" and "The Little Prince." Guest performances include Ann Brodie's Carolina Ballet's production of Cinderella, Dance USC's production "Ballet Stars of New York," Griffin Ballet's presentation of William Starret's "Lion King" and the South Carolina Philharmonic's performance of "Carmen." Anderson's choreographic efforts include "Nina Simone Suite" for the Columbia Summer Repertory Company, six works commissioned for Workshop Theatre's production of "Songs for a New World" set on members of the Columbia Summer Repertory Company, "The River" performed in the Artists for Africa Gala, "Survivors" performed as part of "Body and Movement Explored" with the Columbia City Ballet, and a pas de deux created for Ballet Spartanburg's DanSynergy. Anderson teaches regularly at the Columbia Conservatory of Dance. - BB
Erin Bolshakov
Erin Jaffe Bolshakov spent the period of September 2012 – September 2013 growing the reach of VISTA Ballroom and continuing to enrich the Latin dance community in Columbia, South Carolina through classes, workshops and performances. She also worked to cement Columbia's place in the national Latin dance community with performances at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina and in the La Milonga Rosa in New York City, New York. Her work with business and dance partner, internationally renowned Maestro Orlando Farias in her words,"brings us authentic Argentine Tango and Argentinean culture" as well as the respect of the Argentine Tango community. Some of her work this year includes performance and instruction during PASOS "Steps for Pasos" gala, choreography of an Argentine Tango for Palmetto & Luna Theatre group "La Tropa," performances at the DNC in Charlotte and the La Milonga Rosa in NYC, hosting of a monthly Milonga or Tango dance club, and the Executive Direction of the fourth year of Mad Hot Tango Marathon and producer of the associated professional Tango show. - BB
Terrance Henderson
Terrance Henderson is a teacher, dancer and choreographer. He serves on the dance faculty at Columbia Ballet School and Southeastern School of Ballet. He is the director of the dance after school program for AC Moore Elementary and has been the long term artist in residence teaching dance and theater at Logan Elementary. This past season, Henderson's choreography was seen in the Trustrus Mainstage productions of "Next to Normal," "Ain't Misbehavin," and "Ragtime," and in Henderson Brothers Burlesque Show as part of What's Love 2013. With his new personal brand TO DANCE Inc., Henderson premiered an evening of original choreography titled "Hole in My Bucket: A perspective," at the 2013 Rogue Festival in Fresno, California. Henderson worked with the Fuzion Dance Artist of Sarasota this August setting one of his solo works "That's Life," and choreographed Dreher High School's production of "Legally Blonde the Musical."
Phillip Bush
While Phillip Bush may have only recently begun teaching at USC, he is no stranger to Columbia's concert music world nor to South Carolina. During the 2012-2013 season, Bush has performed with chamber musicians and as a soloist at the Columbia Museum of Art, at the Kershaw County Fine Arts Center, with the Southeastern Piano Festival, and, of course, innumerably at USC. Bush has also performed across the state, and served as the Music Director for the Bennington Chamber Music Conference in Vermont, performed at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, and beyond, including a residency and numerous performances at the Fayetteville Chamber Music Festival in Texas. Still, more than half of his year's performances took place in the Midlands, and his level of local engagement has spanned from directing student performances of Steve Reich's Music for Eighteen Musicians to co-directing February, 2013's concerts at Arts at Shandon. Bush's presence in Columbia is perhaps understated, but certainly felt here – and definitely known beyond our borders. - TD
FatRat da Czar
Fat Rat da Czar (aka Darius Johnson) has long been one of the most prominent names in Columbia (and South Carolina's) hip-hop scene, with nearly 20 years under his belt as a local MC. Still, he's had an exceptionally busy year even for Mr. Johnson, who had a couple of important milestones over the October 2012-September 2013 period. November saw the release of Da Cold War 3, the completion of a trilogy of proper solo albums that defined him as a rapper lyrically going against the grain and forging his own artistic identity. Perhaps even more importantly, his unofficial status as a mentor for upcoming talent became a career, as he became a full-time engineer at the Boom Room, the Studio B at Columbia's Jam Room Recording Studios that saw him working with everyone from hip-hop crew Grand Royal to the Americana folk trio Prairie Willows.
In between, Johnson not only landed prestigious opening slots for the likes of Killer Mike and GZA, he also traveled to Atlanta to perform at AC3, one of the nation's biggest hip-hop festivals. He also played a pivotal role in The Gamecock Mixtape put together by Dinobrite Productions, and drops a powerful closing verse on the lead single "Ride With My Team," a song whose music video when semi-viral upon its release and has over 112,000 views to date.
Perhaps more than anything though, Fat Rat is a hip-hop ambassador in a city and state still largely segregated musically as much as racially. Along with his musical partner Shekeese the Beast, he organizes and headlines hip-hop shows, but also fearlessly jumps on to rock and roll bills and fearlessly takes the stage at such unlikely events as the City Roots-hosted Mardi Gras festival.
In short, Fat Rat da Czar kept the fire burning in more ways than one for hip-hop in the Midlands last year. - KP
The Restoration
For The Restoration, the past year has been an exciting one. The November release of Honor the Father followed up the widely celebrated Constance LP, demonstrating the band's continued commitment to writing narrative concept albums that grapple with the history of the South both musically and lyrically. Honor the Father is "a narrative exploration of religious fundamentalism dressed with Dixieland and early rock 'n' roll," according to leader Daniel Machado, and also functions as a murder mystery story with a revealing—and disturbing--conclusion. It's worth noting the extensive use of musical forms here, as well as the complex structure of the climactic track "The Trial," which features Biblical footnotes in the liner notes and sees Machado and others donning multiple characters' hats over the course of the song's six minutes of exposition.
The record's favorable reception cemented the band's position as one of Columbia's best active bands, which led to prominent appearances at the River Rocks festival this spring and the Bel Chere Festival this summer. The band's work has also received some unusual academic attention, as their work has been featured in English classes taught at Spartanburg Methodist College. - KP

Jim Barilla
Using his own backyard as centerpiece and testing ground for thinking about urban wildlife, Jim Barilla put Columbia on the map for environmental writing this year. His nonfiction book, My Backyard Jungle: The Adventures of an Urban Wildlife Lover Who Turned His Yard Into Habitant and Learned to Live With It, was published by Yale University Press this spring. Barilla set out to turn his yard into a certified wildlife habitat, and the book documents that project. Combining his reflections on his backyard with a rich understanding of environmental issues, the book also includes stories about bears, monkeys, and honeybees in cities around the world, yet Barilla always returns to his own backyard in Columbia as a critical place for thinking about our coexistence with animals. The book was widely reviewed—Publisher's Weekly, Nature, BBC Wildlife, and elsewhere—with portions of the book published in The Atlantic, Places, and National Geographic online. The reviewer for BBC Wildlife said that Barilla "reminds us to ask what it will be like to engage with nature in a future in which most of us will live in cities." Or as a nomination put it, "His work asks us to think about our place in the world around us." - EM
Janna McMahan
In January, Janna McMahan published Anonymity (Koehler Books), a novel about homeless youth. Gritty and based on extensive research, the novel tells the tale of a difficult friendship between a photographer and a homeless teenage girl in Austin. Novelist Ron Rash called the novel McMahan's best yet, and Real South magazine praised its gritty realism and its exploration of a situation in which "there are no easy answers for anyone." She also contributed "A Name You Can Yell" (yes, she's talking about how you name a dog—or a kid?) in Literary Dogs and their South Carolina Writers, published by Hub City in Spartanburg just before Christmas 2012, and "Pat Conroy: Or How I Stalked My Prince of Tides," in The Limelight: A Compendium of Contemporary Artists, published by Muddy Ford Press earlier this year. Anonymity has led to speaking engagements in schools and community organizations about homeless youth. Some Richland Library book clubs are reading the novel this fall, and in November, the Main Street library will host a community panel discussion on youth homeless in Columbia (Nov. 17, 3 p.m., Bostick Auditorium). McMahan says, "This has been a story with social impact, and I'm most grateful for how people are interested in the topic and actually taking action." - EM
Aida Rogers
This summer, Aida Rogers published what USC Press called a love letter to the state of South Carolina, her book State of the Heart: South Carolina Writers on the Places They Love. The book includes 36 nationally and regionally recognized writers on the places they cherish—including novelists Pat Conroy and Dori Sanders and SC poet laureate Marjory Wentworth. In the forward to the book, Conroy writes, "State of the Heart reminds us of what is best about South Carolina and her many gifted writers, the monumental power of this place to shape our memories into stories and then our stories into art." According to Jonathan Haupt, director of USC Press, the book "quickly became a media sensation and one of our best-selling regional books." Rogers herself said of the collection, "I think State of the Heart proved there's plenty of literary talent in South Carolina…. If the anthology does nothing but introduce them to readers, it will have accomplished something valuable." Rogers wrote about late Columbia artist Gil Petroff for The Limelight: A Compendium of Contemporary Artists. That essay, she says, "allowed me to point out what's marvelous but invisible because we see it every day. There is extraordinary talent all around us, and I think it's important for a community to appreciate its own." - EM

Bobby Bloom hasn't stopped to catch his breath very much this year as his list of accomplishments demonstrates.

Terrance Henderson
Terrance Henderson's hand is in just about every aspect of theatre one could imagine from teaching to directing to acting. Henderson is the director of the theater after school program for AC Moore Elementary and has been the long term theatre artist in residence at Logan Elementary. In the past year, Henderson has portrayed the roles of Dr. Madden in Trustus Theatre's "Next to Normal" and most recently in the leading role of Coalhouse Walker Jr. in "Ragtime" also at Trustus . Terrance was also the co-creator and official emcee (Nauti Boogie) for the Henderson Brothers Burlesque Show as part of What's Love 2013. Henderson's direction was seen in Trustus Theatre's "Ain't Misbehavin'" this summer.

The past year has seen her perform in the following productions: Next to Normal at Trustus Theatre; 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche at Trustus Theatre; Songs for a New World at Workshop Theatre; Ragtime: The Musical at Trustus Theatre; Late Night Cabaret at Town Theatre; Kevin Bush's Off the Top of My Head Cabaret at Trustus Theatre; Women at Heart (Palmetto Health's 2012 Heart Health Forum & Exhibition at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center for which she co-wrote and performed a dramatic presentation which educated women about the signs & symptoms of heart attack and showed them how to act quickly if faced with them.

Jasper Lake
Location: Jasper National Park, Highway 16, east of Jasper Townsite, AB, Canada, UTM: 11U 430809 E / 5881751 N
Vital Statistics: Elevation: 1003 Metres (3,290 Feet)
Formation Mechanism:
Topographic Map: 83e01 Snaring River
Description: Jasper Lake's water level fluctuates dramatically with the spring runoff. Essentially, it is a swelling of the Athabasca River when the water floods this large floodplain. As the annual flooding occurs, the river leaves behind very fine glacial gravels. These are exposed when the levels drop, and the strong winds turn the sands into dunes. One series of dunes has separated Jasper Lake from Talbot Lake. The Yellowhead Highway crosses this causeway as it follows the shoreline of Jasper Lake. Eventually, the Athabasca River will carve a deeper channel, and the annual process of flooding will be lost. Thus will be the final moments of Jasper Lake.

The U.S. criminal justice system has kept millions of Americans in an endless cycle of poverty and incarceration, creating barriers for former inmates as well as their families, communities and national economy, according to a new report published Tuesday.
Adding to the body of research that has shown mass incarceration to be a principal driver of inequality in America, particularly among men of color, the report—One Strike and You're Out How We Can Eliminate Barriers to Economic Security and Mobility for People with Criminal Records (pdf)—examines the economic consequences of having a criminal record.
"Today, a criminal record serves as both a direct cause and consequence of poverty," write report authors Rebecca Vallas, associate director of the Poverty to Prosperity Program at the Center for American Progress, and Sharon Dietrich, litigation director at Philadelphia's Community Legal Services.
Among the causes, they note that a criminal record presents obstacles to employment, housing, public assistance, education, and family reunification. Moreover, incarceration has become a growing consequence of poverty "due to the growing criminalization of poverty and homelessness," the authors add.
In recent years, these barriers have been intensified by policy choices such as blanket bans on providing people with criminal records with necessities such as housing and public assistance. Further, according to the study, due to the ease of accessing data via the internet, today "4 out of 5 landlords and nearly 9 in 10 employers using criminal background checks to screen out people with criminal records before they even get a shot."
As noted in a piece published Tuesday by Brennan Center for Justice counsels Lauren-Brooke Eisen and Jessica Eaglin, the criminal justice system also imposes countless fees on inmates causing individuals to emerge from incarceration having paid a "penalty for an offense, and then be incarcerated for failing to pay off the debt incurred as a result of that offense."
"People are treated as criminals long after they pose any significant risk of committing further crimes— making it difficult for many to move on with their lives and achieve basic economic security, let alone have a shot at upward mobility," Vallas and Dietrich write.
The poverty-incarceration cycle has significant implications on the U.S. economy as a whole. Citing a 2010 Center for Economic and Policy Research report, Vallas and Dietrich note that the estimated cost of employment losses among people with criminal records is much as $65 billion per year in terms of gross domestic product.
The result of this system, according to Vallas and Dietrich, is that the nearly one in three Americans with a criminal record "are prevented from becoming productive members of society, and their families, communities, and the national economy are held back as well."
Among the many recommendations put forth in the report, Vallas and Dietrich say that legislation that would "automatically seal low-level, nonviolent convictions after an individual has demonstrated his or her rehabilitation" is tantamount to providing Americans who have a criminal record with a "truly clean slate."
Short of that, the report recommends that state and federal governments: enact protections against egregious background checks, advocate fair-chance hiring practices by government contractors, eliminate "one-strike" public housing policies, invest in prison education and training, suspend the felony drug ban on income and nutrition assistance, and reform criminal justice debt policies, among others.
Published by the Center for American Progress, One Strike and You're Out was released in conjunction with a week of advocacy on criminal justice reform being hosted by CAP blog TalkPoverty.org.

The smell of this pungent spice is rather unpleasant, but is transformed when cooked. Used in combination with other spices, it acts to balance out the flavour of many Indian dishes.
Asafoetida is obtained from the sap of a variety of giant fennel that is native to Iran and although in India it is grown in the north, is especially popular in southern India for adding to dal and vegetable dishes.
A mere pinch is all that is needed and it is important to fry it first in oil to calm and change the acrid raw smell into a far more pleasant garlicy-onion aroma.
Asafoetida is available in small lumps or as a brown or mustard coloured powder and should be kept in a tight fitting tin that will contain its powerful smell.
Asafoetida is known by many other names, including hing and also stinking gum.

Breaking News
The remarks will put some of Europe's biggest clubs on alert including Barcelona and Inter and Barcelona - who were both interested in signing Arshavin after his dazzling displays at Euro 2008. However, Arshavin's long-term representative, who helped grease the wheels of the Russian's £17 million move to Arsenal 15 months ago, chided his client for speaking so openly of his desire to play for European champions Barcelona.
"I know Andrey is never thinking twice before opening his mouth," said Lachter. "But by the rules of democracy, anybody can say whatever they want and there is some kind of disappointment especially from Andrey because of his injuries and frustration at the results of the club this season."
Lachter continued, "It is not a secret for anybody that he has a big respect for Barcelona and it's not a secret for anybody that I agreed the move from Zenit to Barcelona for 15 million euros six months before his move to Arsenal. I know Andrey would like to play there but he is a player for Arsenal and will be until further discussions."
Lachter also claimed that Arshavin should take complete responsibility for a campaign that promised so much for player and club before both ended trophy-less. He observed: "It is totally unfair to blame your team-mates. In the eyes of each one of us you need to do the best for your company or your team. "You shouldn't be prostituting yourself or changing your mind because you don't like what is happening today."

C Duncan - Q&A
We catch up with C Duncan in advance of his UK tour to talk influences, electronica and good old parental guidance.
Can you tell us all about your most recent album 'The Midnight Sun', released in early October?
I am very happy to have released a second record! It is a little different from my debut album - It is a lot more electronic and has a darker vibe. It is inspired by The Twilight Zone.
How have your different musical tastes and abilities been explored from childhood to now?
Very much so! As a young teenager I was into very heavy rock music, which progressed to grunge. I then started listening to alternative music and by the end of school I was listening to contemporary classical music.I now listen to absolutely everything - I have a very eclectic taste in music.
As an electronica/dreampop musician can you tell us about the challenges you've faced with translating your usual home studio setup into a live show?
It was very difficult to begin with. When I write and record music I never think about how it will be performed live as I don't like to give myself those limitations. I have arranged the music to work when we play it live, and it is getting closer to the recorded music as the live band grows and I become more confident on stage.
Would you say that growing up in Glasgow influenced your music?
It influenced and continues to influence my music. It is a very diverse place and full of art and artists. The variety of output from Glasgow mixed with the architecture and general feel of the city (which is laidback and friendly) has contributed to my music. Also, the climate of Scotland has influenced my music and way of writing (It can be very cold and dark).
Would you say it is helpful or confusing as a musician to have such an eclectic taste in music when trying to discover your own path and style?
Not for me personally. I have always tried to include all of my influences in my music which is what I think has really helped shape my own style.
A lot of your inspirations are female artists (Royksopp, Cocteau Twins). What do they have in common that had such an influence on you?
High register vocals have always interested me the most. I'm a big fan of melody and the female and high male voice I feel sits nicely on top of the accompaniment - there is a clarity to it that doesn't get lost inthe mix.
Your February UK tour supporting Elbow is drawing near. Is there anywhere you are particularly excited to visit?
I am very excited to spend a bit more time in Dublin as I've only been there once and it is a beautiful city. The Manchester shows will be a lot of fun as that's Elbow's hometown. Having said that, I'm looking forward to visiting all the places on the tour.
How do you think your parent's influence as classical musicians has helped you?
They have always encouraged me to be creative and have introduced me to a lot of music. Being musicians themselves they can always help me out with good and constructive feedback on what I'm doing.
What are your future ambitions over the next year or two in terms of artists you'd like to collaborate with and avenues you'd like to explore?
I'd very much like to collaborate with Julia Holter. I have only recently discovered her music and I find it fascinating and very beautiful. I'd also like to explore writing music for film and get back to writing more classical music again.

House of Raeford Farms of Rose Hill, NC, announced today that it has reached an agreement to purchase the business, operating assets, and trademark of Filet of Chicken Acquisition, LLC of Forest Park, Georgia, from Flagship Food Group, LLC .

Stage & Dance
Young comedian Taylor Williamson has talent; America said so
Many performers want to be loved by as many people as possible. Others want to just express themselves and present their art, popularity be damned.
Stand-up comedian Taylor Williamson tries to have it both ways, and it's kind of driving him crazy.
"It's hard, but it's like dating," the 29-year-old comic says. "You want the girl to like you, but you want to be yourself."
Williamson really wants everyone in the world to like him, and that may be impossible, but he's off to a good start. After all, he did finish runner-up among the countless acts auditioning for the eighth season of the hit NBC program America's Got Talent in 2013, so it's pretty safe to say a good portion of the viewing public likes what the guy does. (That was the same season that featured Pineville country singer Jimmy Rose, who finished third; dancer and mime Kenichi Ebina was the winner.)
But Williamson's successful run on the show was no overnight success story. Growing up in San Diego, he started doing stand-up comedy at 17, and club owners made him wait outside the 21-and-older comedy clubs until he jumped on stage.
"The good thing about starting young is you're not smart enough to stop doing it when it's bad," he says.
Turns out that Williamson was pretty good. His cerebral and self-deprecating humor, combined with a charmingly nervous delivery, helped him make a decent living and a name for himself on the West Coast, earning a guest spot on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson by the time he was 20. He also appeared on another NBC program, the comedy competition Last Comic Standing, in 2010 and made it to the semi-finals.
But when Williamson considered auditioning for America's Got Talent, he saw it as more of a last-ditch effort than a chance of a lifetime.
"The year before AGT was the worst of my career. I was about to get a day job for the first time in my life," he says. "If I wasn't even slightly desperate, I wouldn't have auditioned for the show."
Williamson might have initially advanced in early rounds thanks to winning over judges Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel. But it was his surprising performances that won America's vote. Sure, his trademark delivery, wit and just-edgy-enough material was always there. But whether he was doing an Inside The Actor's Studio questionnaire with James Lipton or being accompanied by a gospel choir that delivered the racial-animal joke punch line, he was always trying to play the game while remaining true to himself as a performer.
"My comedy, I wouldn't say is G-rated at all," he says. "I had to fight like crazy (with NBC), but they let me do some stupid stuff."
When he hits the road doing stand-up in clubs across America, Williamson feels as if he won his season of America's Got Talent. He's coming to Comedy Off Broadway in Lexington to perform this weekend. Because many of his fans are teenagers who first heard his comedy through AGT, his last performance in Lexington will be open to ages 13 and older.
Williamson says he would eventually like to get past being directly associated with AGT, but he continues to be grateful for the life-changing opportunity the show gave him and the unique relationship it provided with his fan base.
"America's Got Talent and these reality shows, the people get to know you as a person," he says. "That's why I love going on the road, because I get to meet the people that voted for me, which is really cool."

We have all heard that in many situations "communication is the key to success." The same goes for relationships: the more communication the better. I'm not talking about texting. Talking face to face is by far the most effective. Even Leslie and I had to work through this the hard way. I will give you some examples of how our communication has evolved and improved.
In the early stages of our relationship Leslie and I would text often. Even more so when we were discussing something that we disagreed upon. Naturally, communication via text began to get lost in translation. Too often things were taken the wrong way and only made situations worse. When our relationship was getting more serious, Leslie continued to try to have long conversations via text, explaining that she could write things better when she was upset. However we never seemed to get anywhere and things would often turn out worse than when they began. I eventually refused to text anything that had to do with a serious issue and Leslie began to agree with me.
Nowadays, we talk the way people are supposed to: face to face. While putting yourself out there may get emotional at times, in the end it is the most effective way to communicate. Instead of having a serious conversation via text or even worse, avoiding talking about issues all together, put yourself out there and have the talk one on one.
Leslie and I have mentioned before that I am very easy going. I will often go along with something that was not my first choice to make things easier for everyone else. This is not always the best course of action, though, as sometimes my opinions get lost. Through some frustration and a lot of talking, I have learned to make it clear when I feel strongly about something and voice my opinion. When it is important to me, I make it known and we come to a compromise or my preferences will win out.
Cooking plays a big role in our lives and is one of the few things I have strong opinions about. While cooking together can be great, we have had our share of arguments or disagreements stemming from the kitchen. I may have an idea to cook something one way while Leslie is thinking something completely different. Thankfully, we have come up with a solution. We talk about the concept of the meal first and agree that one of us will be a chef and the other a sous chef. This way, one of us will have the final say and arguments are avoided.
Talking in person is always better then texting or email, especially for important conversations. None of these issues could have been resolved in our relationship through text or avoidance. Text messaging can be taken out of context so easily and while you may think it gives you more time to come up with a better answer... I call bullshit.

text: excelr8 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Hi all, apologies if this is a really dumb question. Prior to version 4.0, I could routinely copy a shape or image created in Excel and paste it into paint.net (paste as new image) and, at the default resolution of 96 dpi, the image size indicated (in inches) in Excel would be replicated in paint.net. So, if I saved that pasted image as a jpg or png file and then inserted that image back into Excel, it'd be an exact match (size-wise and pretty much in every other way) for the original image that was copied from Excel. With version 4.0, when I perform the same copy from Excel and paste into paint.net, the image size is larger than the original. I've noticed that if I change the resolution in paint.net from the default 96 dpi to 150 dpi, the image size becomes equal to the original. I tried this same action in Microsoft Paint and it behaves as I expect (pasted image size at 96 dpi is the same as the copied image size) An example: if I create a 2" x 2" square shape in Excel and copy and paste it into paint.net, it comes in at 3.13" x 3.13" at 96 dpi. The reason that changing the resolution to 150 dpi isn't ideal is, if I have text in the copied shape, it loses sharpness when the resolution is changed. Am I looking at this completely wrong or is this an intended change to paint.net? I can certainly use Microsoft Paint instead of paint.net to convert these types of Excel shapes into standalone image files but it was pretty convenient to use paint.net for all graphics work previously. Thanks in advance and, again, apologies if this is a dumb graphics question (I'm a rank amateur at graphics). Edited July 7, 2014 by excelr8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
