When I was going off to college, my parents asked me what I wanted as a going away present. I'm a pretty simple girl, very practical, and didn't want to ask for much. I'm not one of those spoiled brats asking mommy and daddy for a new Beamer.
I decided on a camera to capture all the moments in college, as I've always been told these are the best four years of your life. So my parents got me the awesome Canon Powershot S95.
Once on the campus of my college, I took pictures of the beautiful foliage, the mess of unpacking into my dorm room, the typical freshman orientation events (icebreakers haha…), new friends, and parties! I was meeting so many new people, and I basically turned into the girl that everyone looked to when they wanted their picture taken.
I fell in love with this camera, and it went everywhere with me. I've been racking up so many Facebook photo albums lately. I was addicted.
At first, I started as an accounting major in college. I found all the course work a total bore, so I needed a major that involved more creativity. When I found out about double majoring, I realized my AP credits from high school made such a course load more manageable and possible.
So I decided to double major in both photography and entrepreneurial studies. This was definitely the best decision I've made in college so far. I love photography so much thanks to this new camera. You see, I want to make a good living as I'm a go-getter, but at the same time I want to be able to utilize my new found creativity.
I don't want to be tied down by a boss as I want to be my own boss.
Honestly, I wouldn't be in such a position today if it weren't for my mom and dad getting me that camera. Now I need to look into a sweet DSLR to feed my creativity. After writing this Canon Powershot S95 review, that might be something I'll have to look into.

MINNEAPOLIS — As Joe Mauer walked back to the dugout, the bat in his hand and a sour look on his face, there were boos from the Minnesota crowd.
Mauer struck out to end the inning, with a runner on third base in the seventh on Wednesday and the Twins trailing 1-0. Everybody does this, of course, in a sport with a 30 percent success rate at the plate long proven to be a benchmark of excellence.
Failures this year have piled up for Mauer faster than usual for the six-time All-Star, three-time American League batting champion and one-time AL MVP.
"I'm a heck of a lot more frustrated than they are," Mauer said that night, when asked about those jeering fans.
The sound of those boos has been jarring, considering he's the hometown guy from St. Paul with the handsome looks and the hitting skills to build a .321 career batting average, the best among all active players in baseball with at least 3,000 plate appearances. Minnesotans are fiercely proud of and protective of their natives, so Mauer figured to have a lifetime pass in the popularity department here.
After signing that $184 million, eight-year contract extension in 2010, though, he has become a more-frequent target of criticism from fans frustrated by the team's struggles the past several years.
The 28 home runs he hit in 138 games in 2009 were a one-year wonder. Lingering lower-body injuries limited him to 82 games in 2011. This season, his on-base-plus-slugging percentage was at a career-low .704 entering the weekend series in New York. Mauer is also on pace to blow by his career-high strikeout total of 89 set last year.
"I feel pretty good actually, which is even more frustrating," he said. "I'm hitting a lot of balls hard and just not having much to show for it. So hopefully that turns here soon."
Mauer isn't the only one sputtering with the Twins. The team's batting average with runners in scoring position fell to .214, the second-worst in the league, after losing three of four games to Texas this week.
"We're putting together a lot of good at-bats but still not driving people in with runners in scoring position. That's the main focus, getting guys on, but we can't get them in," second baseman Brian Dozier said.
Mauer reluctantly gave up his job as the catcher to better protect himself from another concussion, after missing the final six weeks of last season following a foul tip that hit him in the head. The loss to the Twins of Mauer's intelligence and defense behind the plate was supposed to be trumped by an increase in his availability and production at a less-taxing position.
He missed five games with back spasms earlier this month, but since then he said he feels fine. The problem has been these paltry totals: nine extra-base hits and 15 RBIs through Thursday.
"The expectations are very high for him. People get frustrated. I just don't want Joe to get frustrated. I know he is a little bit right now, because he doesn't have the results he wants. But I don't want to put any more pressure on the guy," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I just want him to just keep being himself, keep swinging, and he'll be fine."

DH & I went to Seattle yesterday and explored the Seattle Art Museum, Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Public Library The library is amazing – an eleven story glass building, almost 363,000 square feet, over one million items and 400 public use computers. Materials travel around the library on a conveyor belt system. There is a gift shop that rivals high end museum shops and a coffee cafe. It is made of 2,050 tons of concrete, 4,644 tons of steel, and 9,994 square feet of glass. You have to see it to believe it, and should you ever be in downtown Seattle, I highly recommend that you check it out!

We were in Seattle last year and spent almost 3 hours in the library – it is so cool!
What an impressive building! Did they have any knitting books at the library – like maybe a Starmore??:)

Lisa Jackson knows about winning, there?s no question about that. After all, she did win two straight Southland Conference Player of the Year awards. And, don?t discount the experience she gained as the top player on a team that went to three straight NCAA Tournaments. So, moving from player to coach should prove to be an easy transition for the most honored athlete in the history of the UTA women?s tennis program.
Jackson is in her second year as a graduate assistant with the Mavericks after winning the SLC?s top award in 2000 and 2001, and becoming only the third player in conference history to win the award more than once. She also earned first team All-SLC honors in each of those two years and as a sophomore in 1999, to go along with first-team doubles honors in each of the same three years. During her three-year Maverick career, Jackson put together a 72-42 overall record. She transferred to UTA following her freshman year at William Carey College, where she earned the team?s most valuable player award after posting a school record 15 wins. The Johannesburg, South Africa native was among the top-10 nationally-ranked singles players and among the top-30 doubles players in her native country before coming to UTA.

Vibrantly revived now by Sean Holmes, Trevor Griffiths's 1975 play Comedians has a simple, dramatically satisfying structure that bravely exposes its main character's thesis to a practical test. In the first act, we see six would-be stand-up comics in a night school run by Eddie Waters, an idealistic veteran of the Northern music-hall circuit who believes that true comedy should challenge stereotypes, liberate the will and help change society.
This view is sneeringly opposed by Bert Challenor (Keith Allen), the pragmatic talent scout who proclaims that "we're not missionaries, we're suppliers of laughter". The meat of the matter is the middle act where, in a tacky bingo club, the comics perform their sets. Some have modified these with racist and sexist gags to pander to the visiting scout. Goaded in the opposite direction, young Gethin Price unleashes an "alternative" routine of Grock-inspired mime and proto-punk, bourgeois-baiting hatred that freezes laughter on one's lips.
In this latter role, David Dawson is transfixingly good – a fey, wiry elf bottling feral fury, the danger all the more potent for its mocking dainty containment. And he shows you the suffering in this youth's soul right to the meniscus of his brimming eyes. Matthew Kelly is good as Eddie, but could afford to reveal more of his brooding melancholy.
The presence of Richard Herring in the first-night audience brought home how far the comedy circus has moved on since Griffiths wrote the play. This summer, Herring came in for some politically correct stick for Hitler's Moustache, a show that challenges racism by riskily appearing to flirt with it. It's a moot point whether old Eddie would favour such ironic stunts. Would he think they carried his philosophy forward or took it to potentially self-finessing extremes?
You can, of course, no more legislate for laughter than you can for, say, the male erection and the play courageously leaves the issue open to question with its often disgracefully funny middle act. All of Holmes's cast have terrific raffish punch here. They are almost too good. I particularly liked Mark Benton and Reece Shearsmith as a sibling ventriloquist-dummy double act whose routine collapses because of an internal dispute over telling a "Paki" joke. These days, tellingly, the breakdown would be deliberate and constitute the act.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the release of more than 20 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli custody, just as Washington attempts to restart peace talks.
The mass release, slated for early next week, comes days before a scheduled meeting between Secretary of State John KerryJohn KerryCongress, Trump need a united front to face down Iran One year ago today we declared ISIS atrocities as genocide Trump's realism toward Iran is stabilizing force for Middle East MORE and top leaders of the Palestinian Authority, according to CNN.
"In the wake of the Government's 28 July 2013 decision to resume the diplomatic process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and authorize a ministerial team on the release of prisoners during the negotiations, the release of 26 Palestinian prisoners was authorized this evening," according to a statement from Netanyahu's office.
The statement said the prisoners "perpetrated offenses prior to the Oslo accords and have served sentences of 19-28 years."
A list of the prisoners' names was to be published Saturday night on Israel's Prison Service website, CNN reports.
Kerry's visit to the Middle East, announced on Saturday, will be his 10th trip to the region as the Obama administration's top diplomat.
Kerry plans to build upon progress made in peace negotiations between Tel Aviv and Beirut since July, a senior Palestinian official said Saturday.

text: Of Course Formula One Drivers Stay Fit With a Car-Shaped Exercise MachineAndrew Liszewski4/16/13 3:20pmFiled to: FitnessExerciseAutomotiveFormula Onetechnogym25EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkProfessional race drivers spend hours in a car battling excessive G-forces, and so require just as much training and physical fitness as an athlete running up and down a field. But their needs are specialized, which is why Ferrari F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa use this racecar-shaped workout machine from Technogym.AdvertisementIt focuses the driver's workout on two main areas: their neck, which is constantly battling against the G-forces of turns and acceleration/deceleration, and their arms, chest, and shoulders, which are used to steer the vehicle. A tethered helmet featuring adjustable resistance cables gives the driver's neck a solid workout even when the Technogym machine isn't moving. And the steering wheel can be loaded up with 55 pounds of weights making simply turning the wheel a real workout, especially since it constantly vibrates to simulate the wear and tear inside a racing Formula One car.Because it's a highly specialized piece of equipment the driver trainer isn't exactly sold to the public. But with enough inquiries perhaps Technogym might be persuaded to design a minivan version for those who spend most of their day battling the rigors of driving kids to school and practises.

CSS Florida Catches the Big One
When CSS Florida successfully made her break from Mobile, she headed towards Havana, where she captured one small vessel in the process. After refueling in port, Florida headed back out to sea and captured two more vessels before steering east to Nassau, Bahamas.
Upon leaving Nassau, Captain John Maffitt's intentions were to take the war directly to Yankee merchants in New England waters. This was a risky proposition at best, as the U.S. Navy established routine patrols in the Grand Banks after Alabama's Gulf Stream raids. There was also the risk of steaming right into the heavy traffic areas of Cape Hatteras and the Virginia Capes. Maffitt understood the only way the southern guerre de course strategy would work was if the northern merchant class saw their property destroyed up close.
As Florida approached Cape Hatteras, the cruiser encountered a major storm. Maffitt attempted to tough it out, but eventually ordered a retreat back south towards the West Indies. His decision paid off in a big way. After fooling what he believed to be the large steam warship USS Vanderbilt, a watch spotted a large sailing vessel on the morning of 12 February. The cruiser sighted, chased, and overtook the New York-based ship off the coast of Puerto Rico. Owned by Abiel Abbow Low and Brothers, Jacob Bell was one of four well-designed clipper ships Low used to import black tea (and occasionally opium) directly from the Chinese port of Foochoo.
Maffitt reported that Jacob Bell had over 17,000 cases of tea in her hold, valued at over $1.5 million (1863 dollars). Along with six boxes of coffee, Maffitt kept fifteen cases and had the rest burned. He forwarded the captured tea and coffee to Richmond aboard the blockade runner Robert E. Lee. Maffitt expressly requested that the tea and coffee be distributed to soldiers in the Army of Northern Virginia. There are two excellent account of the captures. One is from Maffitt's official report. The other is from Jacob Bell's vantage point in the book, written by the wife of ambassador to China. She was coming home from China when Florida stopped her ship. Needless to say, she and Maffitt had words. However, by the time Maffitt found a neutral ship to off load his "guests," Mrs. Williams and Maffitt left on good terms.
Artifacts from this capture can be seen at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum.

Canadian Yvon Mallette directs and animates the eight-minute 1973 short The Family that Dwelt Apart. The film tells the humorous story of a family of fishermen and women living happily together on an island in apocryphal Barnetuck Bay, despite their relative isolation from the rest of society. When an unfortunate rumor hits the coast, suggesting that the islanders are in some distress, a number of landlocked locals decide to come to the family's rescue.

Notes & Reviews:
The imposing grandeur of the Arena di Verona is the setting for Il Trovatore, one of Giuseppe Verdi's greatest masterpieces, with stage designs by the distinguished sculptor Mario Ceroli. For many years Il Trovatore has been an opera of worldwide popularity and the cast in this production is worthy of the opera's perennial success.
It features the talents of the British soprano Rosalind Plowright in her Verona debut, a wealth of vocal experience from Fiorenza Cossotto as Azucena, matched with Giorgio Zancanaro's strong portrayal of the Count and Franco Bonisolli in fine voice as Manrico, the troubadour.

How many people will your advertising reach?
estatesgazette.com audience figures are independently audited by BPA Worldwide giving you a crystal clear view of how many people your message will reach.
Following a meeting with Estates Gazette, we agreed to proceed with a marketing campaign to generate interest in an industrial property that previously had very few enquiries and had been on our books for some while. Part of this campaign was to use Occupiers Direct which targeted key decision makers across Cambridge.
3 months later and the property had been let – the occupier who agreed to take the site was unknown to us but came from the local area and we concluded that the enquiry must have come as a result of the email. I would recommend Occupiers Direct to anyone who is looking for cost effective, creative marketing solutions – once again Estates Gazette have delivered a great product.
Mike Sumpster,
Barker Story Matthew
We advertised in Estates Gazette to promote a £1,000,000 freehold property. In just 7 days we had received approximately 40 enquiries, with three viewings arranged. We have always found the quality of responses we receive from advertising in the Estates Gazette to be the best of any publication we use.
Ian B Sloan FRICS,
Bankier Sloan
EG Updates was a cost effective medium for highlighting the availability of a specific property to 55,000 property orientated people. The ability to target such a wide range of property professionals is a unique marketing tool and has given us some valuable enquiries for this property.

Fashion model Yoshiko Yatsu and Tamio Kawaji star in this grim drama about a pair of alienated teenagers falling into a life of crime and sadomasochistic games. Director Seijun Suzuki's film is similar to A Bout de Souffle in style, but takes its dissolute characters the traditional one step further into debauchery, typical of Asian entries in the New Wave cycle. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

There's been all this 'confusion' as to what the exact date is, so I think Aqua was playing safe by allowing for every possible date in 2012
Maybe Prince (artist formerly known as ...) can update that 'party like it's 1999' song to 2013 ...

That song makes me feel so old. Remember when it came out and 1999 seemed so far away, like there was so much time left that it made sense to sing about the world ending 15 years from now? We'd surely all be done living our lives by then.
That's what I don't get about these Apocalypse NOW (I said now, dammit!) people. One of my friends used to say that life is like a roll of toilet paper: the closer you get to the end the faster it goes. What's the rush? The apocalypse will get here when it gets here. Sheesh. The world isn't going by quickly enough for you as it is? |

Well, Galliano has left Dior and Marc Jacobs is replacing him. I'm pretty sure the end of the world is near.
Oh, and did you guys hear about the September 26, 2011 debacle? Apparently due to the special planetary alignments with the sun on that day, there are going to be a series of vicious disasters. Then there's something about Comet Elenin as well. And apparently half of New Zealand will go underwater. If my new Armani coat gets wet...! |

don't look down
It might not be a matter of fire and brimstone and the earth falling apart. Perhaps the world as we know it will end - because some scientific discovery means we'll see the workings of the universe in a new light, or we'll find evidence of life elsewhere, so we'll have to say goodbye to the idea of this being the only world there is.
Our outdated concepts about this world might be forced to come to an end - but a new era of understanding could begin.

Analyze this
I was interviewed by an American reporter recently who had noted the vibrant blog scene covering British Columbia's regional politics. He wondered why. My answer is that the lazy professional media largely abdicated the role of independent commentary and analysis because ownership has a quite different agenda and the BC Government uses massive spending power to reward and punish.

I read the Gazetteer this morning and was amazed at the amount of information That RossK uncovered. I actually turned it over to the wife so she could read it as well. Norman you are right about bloggers and the information they provide far surpasses the MSM in many cases. However I will reiterate my only concern and that is the attack by one blogger to another. I find it childish and detrimental. I've said it before that the MSM is just waiting for more of it to make bloggers look bad ( which is not the case ).
Keep up the good work Norman, I enjoy your articles.

The "Eye" has also been in contact with Seattle reporters on another matter and they too noted the vibrant blog scene.
The moans from Good, Palmer, and Baldry show that their papers are losing control of the masses and the real news is on the 'blog'!
It is very sad to say so, as the news media is part of a vibrant and honest democracy, but when the 5th 'Estate' morphs into Goebbellesque propaganda for the state, the dailies become mere 'fishwrap'.
The Goebbels Gambit (where a lie is repeated so often, that it is deemed fact) is alive and well at CORUS, the Sun and Province and the 'three amigos' on Friday should take a long look in the mirror as they have now become a minor cog in the 'states' propaganda machine and easily replaceable. Norman--
Don't think Mr. Willcocks has any problem with the sources.
In fact, he's added an interesting bit of supporting evidence for my conclusions over at his place.
Thanks very much Guy. Have to point out though that everything I 'uncovered' was actually right there in plain sight.

Well, 88% of the BC people can't be wrong. Campbell, is the worst premier, in Canadian history. Even Canadian Intelligence, is keeping an eye on BC. Campbell and Hansen, lied, deceived and cheated to win. They are of, low and poor characters. Decent people, do not behave as they do. Canada and, especially BC, need to purge, corrupt governing officials. If it wasn't for all of the corruption, we would not be in the mess, we are now in.

You can wire Fender Jazz Bass pickups with ease if you are interested in replacing the pickups that came stock with the bass. If you are careful to ground all of the components and solder each wire correctly, you can dramatically improve the sound of your Fender Jazz Bass with aftermarket pickups designed to drop right in the routes created for the originals.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Wire
- Soldering Iion
- Solder
- Screwdriver
Show More
- 1
Drop the neck pickup into the routed area cut specifically for Jazz Bass pickups, making sure to feed the wires through the pickup route holes that lead to the control cavity. Screw the pickup into the wood with the four screws on either side. This will allow you to adjust the height of the pickup in relation to the strings.
- 2
Attach the black ground wire to the small lug or screw located in the control cavity. Every pickup and pot must be ground to eliminate hum and noise interference. You can also ground the pickups and pots to the bride. Look for a small hole in the control cavity that leads to a spot under the bridge to attach the bare end of each ground wire to the bridge itself.
- 3
Solder the white wire to one of the posts on the volume pot in the control cavity. This will be the volume control for this pickup only.
- 4
Drop the bridge pickup into place, making sure to feed the wires through the small hole as well, similar to step 1. Ground the black wire to the bridge or post inside the control cavity and solder the red wire to the other volume pot. This will serve as the volume for this pickup.
- 5
Solder a wire going from one volume pot to the other using the open post on each. This wire transfers the sound from the pickups to the jack, which leads to the amp or input you are using.
- 6
Add another wire going from the second volume pot to the tone knob. Solder it to the same post as the first volume pot. This will send the sound from each pickup to the tone control. The tone control will affect the sound by cutting the high frequencies when turned down. The original signal will pass through when the knob is at 100 per cent.
- 7
Solder the last wire needed from the tone pot to the jack, which will allow you to hear the signal, whether through an amp or a preamp connected to a recording device or headphone amplifier.
Tips and warnings
- Make sure to ground each element of the electronics, from the pickups to the pots, to a metal post or the bridge to eliminate noise and interference.

Pan-American Highway
UnderstandThe Pan-American Highway is about 47,000 miles long depending on the route you take. There are many options in The United States, Canada, and Mexico because of the large amount of area and number of roads. Central America has only a few roads going north to south. PrepareGet inGo/Walk/Drive/...There are several ways that are used on the Pan-American Highway. It is possible to use buses down all the way to Argentina, except for the Darien Gap. You can drive down, and this can cost money at customs. The cheapest is probably by bus because of customs, and fees for cars on boats going down and going up. You also get to meet locals this way. Cars are also more dangerous than buses because roads in Central America are dangerous and the bus drivers will be used to the area. Trains are not a viable option because most Central and South American countries do not have international train lines. Stay safeTry to avoid areas where cartels operate. Follow the advice for the area you are at.

- //Oxford Collapse
Several bands attempt to show their wares by going through a myriad of styles for the sake of being arty or to convince people to occasionally sit up and take notice. At times it works, but more often than not you get the sense that you're being snowballed a bit in terms of actually seeing what the band can truly do. Oxford Collapse tends to fall into this category initially. But folks, it is only early, trust me! The group, which released Some Wilderness last year, wants to venture down this road, but the album gets off on the wrong foot with the quasi art rock-meets-rockabilly feel of "Empty Fields", which could have been re-titled "Empty Feels". Lead singer Mike Pace tries to come off like the Killers' Brandon Flowers but the overall effect is a bad mishmash, as if Tiger Army or Social Distortion were valiantly attempting to cover Talking Heads. Kudos for trying but this just doesn't work, even for the brief fleeting moment that it lasts. But don't give up hope, there are still 11 songs to go.
When Oxford Collapse whittled a song down to fit its strengths, it fares much better. "Prop Cars" should be given props because of the fact that it's powerful, high-energy, and musically tight thanks to the work of bassist Adam Rizer and the drumming of Dan Fetherston. People into Mission of Burma or a quirky, XTC-influenced group would lap this ditty up. Not anything you will hear on rock radio, but due to its being summed up and capped off in three minutes, it's an extremely effective song. And it is with the ensuing tune that Oxford Collapse shows what it can pull off. "Last American Virgin" could be heading down a dark, mysterious path, or one that is filled with the pomp and circumstance of a U2 anthem. However, the group forges a path that is a little to the left of the darker one, with a great series of indie or alt.rock riffs that propel it high over the bar like a classic Cure tune. Strong and sure to put a smile on your face, this effort makes you forget about "Empty Fields" quickly.
Listening to this record, you believe that Oxford Collapse is in some way channeling a genre that Franz Ferdinand once attempted but went the other, equally danceable route. "The Boys Go Home" has Pace singing and almost whining the words as a cross between Sting and Scottish darlings Dogs Die in Hot Cars. The chorus seems to come out of nowhere and is a gleam of sunshine on an already hot Police-like number. It's easily the album's crowning achievement, the jewel in an indie rock tiara. This bouncy rock domain continues on the arty but accessible "Dusty Horses Practice" which brings to mind Mission of Burma and Hot Hot Heat. The equine reference is also appropriate as the beat is like that of a galloping horse thanks again to the fine musicianship of Fetherston and his love of the high hat. Who doesn't love a good high hat, I ask you?
This is an album you're afraid to keep listening to for fear that you will be disappointed at the drop in quality. "Cracks in the Causeway" is airtight and shows no cracks or chinks of any kind; Oxford Collapse drives home this breezy but slowly intensifying pop tune. It sounds like a cross between the Strokes and Sonic Youth as the sugar-coated lilt seals the deal. And by this time you could be thinking that is it the Brooklyn area's answer to Spoon's Kill the Moonlight. The lone song that seems too forced or formulaic is the standard dance pop of "Proofreading", although "No Great Shakes" has very little hip-shaking moments within it.

Rainmaker: Giving goes social with PayPal and Twitter.
- 0
While rumors of the startup bubble keep swirling, there are many projects that simply still can't seem to get funded. Even when the idea is great, finding that right way to get the word out is often times difficult. Rainmaker is hoping to put a social spin onto funding by allowing you to quickly donate via PayPal, then tweet about the donation via your Twitter account.
While not providing anything that couldn't be done manually, the hope is that a spin on the traditional "I did this" tweet will get information on funding out to the masses. Granted, if a Twitter power-personality such as @Sacca funds something via Rainmaker, that is going to gather some attention. But at a worst-case scenario, even if someone will very little Twitter clout (me, for instance) funds something, the funding is still done whether anyone is influenced by my tweet or not.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
The idea is unique in its approach, but not necessarily in its execution. However, we've seen a number of things before that allow you to do the same thing as something else, but simply do it better. Flipboard immediately comes to mind, in that you could always read the news before, but it made the experience easier.
Bear in mind, also, that Rainmaker isn't only for funding. As a matter of fact, the featured tweet when I viewed the site was a donation to relief in Haiti. Given that fact, Rainmaker has our vote for a useful product that also raises awareness.

WASHINGTON — Wes Unseld walked onto the court with a cane. A new, bigger banner was raised. The fans received replica rings that included the phrase "the fat lady sings" — a championship catchphrase from so long ago that John Wall had no clue as to its significance.
But Wall is a student of the game, and he wanted to do his best in front of the old guard. On a night when the Washington Wizards celebrated the 35th anniversary of the franchise's only title, the team's current leader played like someone who might someday carry on that legacy, scoring 37 points in a display of speed and flair Saturday to lead a 104-85 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
"You don't want to lose on a night like this," Wall said.
Wall made 16 of 25 shots, throwing his palms up after making an improbable 14-foot sideways runner and flexing his muscles to the fans on the first row after banking in a fast-break layup. He even blocked a layup attempt by Roy Hibbert, the 6-foot-4 point guard rising to swat the ball away from the 7-foot-2 Pacers center.
Wall also had five assists, four rebounds and two blocks for the lottery-bound Wizards, who have won nine straight at home and are 18-4 at the Verizon Center this season when he's on the floor. He's also becoming more animated, clearly enjoying his best run since he was drafted No. 1 overall in 2010.
"I think whenever you're feeling good and you're playing good, you're more into the game," Wall said. "You're more enthused, you're more happy. … After all the stuff I've been through this season with injuries and missing so many games, and having people say what they say about me, it means a lot."
Added coach Randy Wittman: "If he's going to give me 37, he can flex all he wants — and a win. You've got to let kids have emotions, just as long as we don't lose our emotions."
Unseld, Elvin Hayes and the other members of the 1978 team got together for a dinner Friday night and were honored at halftime Saturday. The franchise, for at least one more evening, was again known as the Bullets.
"I think our guys wanted to come out and not let them down," Wittman said.
The Wizards also spoiled a title celebration for the Pacers, who failed for the second night in a row to get the win they need to clinch their first Central Division crowd in nine years. Indiana also fell two games behind the New York Knicks in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Hibbert had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers, but Paul George had the worst shooting game of his NBA career, going 0 for 8 from the field. He was 3 for 11 the previous night in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"I've just got to get my legs back under me," George said. "Just get my mental focus back."
No one on the Wizards roster was born when the Bullets won their title. Before the game, five players in the locker room — Wall, Bradley Beal, Trevor Booker, Garrett Temple and A.J. Price — had no clue that "The opera ain't over until the fat lady sings" became the unofficial theme to the Bullets' seven-game series win over the Seattle SuperSonics in the finals.
She could've sung early Saturday night because the Pacers went cold at the start of the second half. The Wizards took a 51-48 halftime lead and turned it into 63-48, with Wall scoring half of the points in the 12-0 run. Indiana didn't get closer than seven the rest of the game.
Wall didn't play when the Wizards went 0-3 against the Pacers earlier this season because he was out until early January with a knee injury. Indiana coach Frank Vogel made his players acutely aware of that fact before the game, writing on the board: "He's a difference maker."
"He was too much for us to handle tonight," Vogel said.
Notes: Hayes on the halftime celebration: "If you don't win a championship, you're always governed by that. Because they'll say 'Well, you're a great player,' like Charles Barkley or Karl Malone have to go through. They'll say, 'You're a great player but you didn't win.' So this really put the cherry and the cap on our careers." … Hayes also wasn't impressed by the Wizards' recent winning spurt. "You're getting a few wins right now, but you're not going anyplace," he said. "Plus you're losing the draft choices."

CycleStreets is a system of two parts. It is created for cyclists, by cyclists. This section tries to give an overview of what it does and how it works.
The UK-wide cycle journey planner (covering England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), enables you to plan a cycle route from A-B. Route planning is one of a number of things which help people to start cycling. Select a start and end point, in each case either by clicking on the map or searching by name or postcode.
The journey planner will return three choices: a fastest route (generally suitable for more confident cyclists), a quietest route (generally avoiding busier roads), and a balanced route giving the best of both (generally suitable for an average cyclist). The journey planner will do its best to avoid hills where possible. The route listing includes photos that have been submitted to the Photomap (see below) to help illustrate the journey.
We aim to provide the leading cycle route planner in the UK. As cyclists ourselves we are familiar with the real needs of cyclists undertaking their daily journeys.
The Photomap is the second half of the system. It is basically a map with cycling/transport-related photographs added and pinpointed to a specific location on the map. The Photomap intended for cycle campaigning purposes, to enable people to highlight problems (e.g. a lack of cycle parking or a poor-quality cycle lane), or to give examples of good practice that others can point to.
We encourage people to add photos of their area. To do so, firstly create a free sign-in account (top right) and then use the 'add a photo' link in the Photomap area. Once a photo has been added, you will be asked to pinpoint it on the map, as well as adding a category (e.g. 'cycle parking', 'road environment', etc.) and whether the photo shows something good or bad.
You can read more about the many features of CycleStreets. We are always open to suggestions for improvements that we could make, although we receive more than we currently have time (and funding!) for.
As well as the UK-wide version of CycleStreets at www.cyclestreets.net, local versions of CycleStreets have been set up for towns, cities, metropolitan districts and boroughs all around the country, e.g. cambridge.cyclestreets.net . These versions of the site focus the map on that area, and limit the photos in the Photomap with a 5-20km radius. (Route-planning is not restricted to the area concerned, however.) The local versions are otherwise the same as the UK-wide version.
We are very willing to create branded versions for Local Authorities (and others) which are specific to their area. Please contact us to discuss requirements and funding.
A wider programme of rollout to Local Authorities and others is projected once the route planning has reached the high quality standards we have set ourselves.
CycleStreets Ltd is a registered company based in the UK. Our governing documents include a not-for-profit clause as we strongly believe that CycleStreets should maintain its roots as a community venture, whilst offering a good service to cyclists and a professional outlook to organisations such as Local Authorities who wish to offer a cycle journey planning facility on their website.
CycleStreets uses map data from ground-surveys conducted by volunteers, who add their data to OpenStreetMap (OSM). OpenStreetMap is like a 'Wikipedia of maps'. Although not all areas of the UK have full coverage yet, areas are being completed rapidly. Southern areas of the country, as well as larger cities and towns, currently have the best coverage. Areas like London, Cambridge, Edinburgh and many more have incredibly detailed coverage, rivalling every other source of map data.
Anyone can contribute by adding map data to OpenStreetMap, at a variety of levels. Most easily, you can go to the OSM website and (after registering, free) click to add points of interest (e.g. a bike shop). At a more advanced level, if you have a GPS device, you can record road and cycle route data from your riding and, on return home, upload this to the OSM website, adding information that you have collected such as road name and type.
You can also contribute by fixing any errors you spot in the data (e.g. a one-way-street marked the wrong way), and we have a group of volunteers who handle route problems and correct map data where necessary.
People sometimes ask why we don't use Google Maps. The reason is simple: Google Maps only provides a picture of an area and not raw data. Without raw street data (i.e. list of all streets/paths/locations in the UK), routing is not possible. Although Google provides a route-planning interface, it is not specialised for cycling.
The other main map provider in the UK is the Ordnance Survey. However, we are unable to use their data because (1) We do not have the funds to pay for a licence fee; (2) It is missing key cycle route data; (3) It contains unacceptable licensing conditions; and (4) Cyclists cannot contribute to it.
We take an update from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data several times a week. This means that CycleStreets will plan routes through the street/path/location you added within only a few days.
Having obtained the data we translate and covert it into the optimised format that CycleStreets requires. This process runs overnight and takes over 12 hourson our current high-speed server. The import includes a process called Cellular Optimisation (Cello) which effectively compresses the data, reducing the overall volume of data to a fifth or so of what it was originally. Effectively cello pre-computes the possible solutions for travelling through groups of streets so that the route-planning engine operates more quickly. Cello operates in the three modes (fastest/quietest/balanced routes) in both directions, so six solution permutations are stored.
In translating the OSM data, the system interprets a variety of 'tags', and we are continually refining the data to route over it as accurately as possible. As time permits, we are adding more map features to refine the routing quality. For instance, if there are steps in a walkable section the journey planner will now take account of this in deciding whether to avoid a longer section that can be cycled. CycleStreets does not yet take into account the finer details of riding surface or the width of obstaclesbut these are projected to be added, and we encourage OSM ground surveyors to add this data.
A variety of other compression and normalisation techniques take place during the import data phase. These tend to involve heavily-optimised, complex SQL statements, to enable efficient, one-shot batch processing.
Most day to day cyclists want to avoid un-necessary hills. The data we use for hills is based on a US satellite survey, known as STRM. Because it is satellite data it only has a resolution of about 90 metres (i.e. the height is sampled at points on the ground 90m apart), but in practice this has proved good enough so far to improve the quality of the recommended routes. The journey planner takes the hills into account by adding a time delay when hill climbing and a saving when descending – known as Naismith's rule. As the quality of the routes improves we plan to get higher resolution elevation data from another satellite survey system known as ASTER (which has a 30m resolution).The final stage of processing copies the compressed routing data to a 4GB RAM drive. Indeed, the whole live journey planning phase is done entirely in RAM, without reference to disk-based storage.
The routing engine is a custom-written engine created by Simon Nuttall with advice and input from other developers. It mixes raw uncompressed data and cell-optimised data (see above) and operates in the three modes (fastest/quietest/balanced routes) and takes account of a variety of factors such as hills.
The engine is currently based around the A* algorithm. It firstly scopes out an ellipse around the start and end point and fills the ellipse with the compressed routing data. The router then scours through the possible routes from the start point to the finish point. When an optimal route is found the routing data is expanded to produce a detailed itinerary.
The core routing code (as well as interface binding code) is written in Object-Orientated PHP, and this handles the mathematical phase of the journey planning after extracting the database data. Although PHP is not as fast as, say, C, it has the benefit of being quick to develop in and accessible to a wider range of programmers as the system becomes open-sourced. The improvements in specialised array handling in PHP 5.3+ are employed to optimise stack processing.
We are continually refining the engine to increase both the quality and speed of its processing, as well as to cope with the ever-increasing volume of data coming from OpenStreetMap and the range of detail it can contain.
A variety of cartographic renderings of the OpenStreetMap data are available, and one is needed so that a map can be clicked on. (Generally these are much more detailed than Google Maps, which for instance omits much park path data.)
CycleStreets currently makes use of one of these, Andy Allan's excellent OpenCycleMap rendering, which attempts to highlight key features of interest to cyclists (e.g. bike shops, crossings, Sustrans routes, etc.) whilst reducing the dominance of features such as motorways which are of little relevance to cyclists. It also is fairly unique in showing topography (hills).
We fully intend to open source CycleStreets in due course so that people in other countries might be able to set up their own versions, and so that the complex routing engine can be improved by a community of programmers. We plan to do this once key security audits have taken place of the code and once the engine has matured and stabilised (the engine code and the database schema are subject to ongoing revision at present).
In the meanwhile, we encourage anyone who would be interested to join our coding team to get in touch. We are gradually publishing the technical documentation about the system as time allows.

U.S. Current Account Imbalance: Oil vs. Non-Oil
Monday, November 30, 2009The U.S. non-oil current account balance started to improve in 2006 after a period of real dollar depreciation beginning in 2002. However, the overall deficit remained high, reflecting the run-up in oil prices. The deficit improved substantially after oil prices collapsed during the financial crisis. As the crisis recedes oil prices have started to rise and the dollar has resumed its fall suggesting the potential for a continued improvement in the non-oil deficit, but deterioration in the oil balance. The net effect is likely to be a worsening of the current account deficit. Read more »

Bootstrapping Biotechnology: Engineers Cooperate to Realize Precision Grammar for Programming Cells
Palo Alto and Berkeley, Calif. – March 10, 2013 An unprecedented collaboration among academia, industry, government and civil society has resulted in the launch of a professional-grade collection of public domain DNA parts that greatly increases the reliability and precision by which biology can be engineered.
Researchers at the International Open Facility Advancing Biotechnology (aka, BIOFAB) have just announced that they have, in effect, established rules for the first language for engineering gene expression, the layer between the genome and all the dynamic processes of life. The feat is all the more remarkable considering that just a few years ago several prominent scientists claimed that it would be impossible to develop frameworks enabling reliably reusable standard biological parts.
Collectively, the BIOFAB team has produced thousands of high quality standard biological parts. The DNA sequences that encode all parts and the data about them are free and available online. The project is detailed in three research papers, "Precise and Reliable Gene Expression via Standard Transcription and Translation Initiation Elements," and "Quantitative Estimation of Activity and Quality for Collections of Functional Genetic Elements," published simultaneously in Nature Methods, and "Measurement and Modeling of Intrinsic Transcription Terminators," forthcoming in Nucleic Acids Research (see full citations below).
The BIOFAB's rules for engineering expression come in the form of mathematical models that can be used to predict and characterize the individual parts used in synthetic biology. The work establishes a much-needed technological foundation for the field, allowing researchers to engineer the function of DNA more precisely, and to better predict the resultant behavior.
Dr. Vivek Mutalik, a BIOFAB team leader, says that synthetic biology has been plagued by a lack of reliability and predictability. "Until now, virtually every project has been a one-off – we haven't figured out how to standardize the genetic parts that are the building blocks of this new field. Researchers produce amazing new parts all the time, but much like trying to use someone else's house key in your own door, it's been difficult to directly reuse parts across projects." Without the ability to characterize parts – that is, to understand how they will behave in multiple contexts – biotech researchers are doomed to a lengthy process of trial-and-error. Fortunately, notes Mutalik, "Our work in the BIOFAB changes all that."
The plan for establishing the rules for how genetic parts fit together was ambitious and complex. First, researchers needed to figure out the functional patterns of genetic parts. They had to ask, "To what extent do the basic genetic parts that control gene expression 'misbehave' when reused over and again in novel combinations," said Mutalik. BIOFAB researchers had to make and test hundreds of combinations of frequently used parts, then take the resulting data and build mathematical models that demonstrated part quality.
Joao Guimaraes, a member of the BIOFAB team and graduate student in computational biology, explains that difficult-to-predict parts are deemed to be low quality, while "high quality parts behave the same when reused." Once they found a way to determine part quality, the BIOFAB team set to work on establishing rules for precision control of gene expression, a process that underlies all of biotechnology. They learned by observing natural examples of genetic junctions, and built reliable transcription and translation initiation elements. "We also created standard junctions for transcription terminators, a molecular 'stop sign' for gene expression," said Dr. Guillaume Cambray, a BIOFAB team leader.
While the initial BIOFAB project was able to tame three types of core genetic parts, much more work remains. "We ask that others expand upon the genetic grammar initiated here, to incorporate additional genetic functions and to translate the common rule set beyond E. coli," says Stanford professor and BIOFAB co-director Drew Endy. (Endy also serves as president of the BioBricks Foundation.)
The BIOFAB's seed money came from the National Science Foundation, but this funding came only after 10 years of knocking on doors. Part of the difficulty was that the BIOFAB represented a fundamental engineering research project. It's not the kind of work that is suitable for a single graduate student thesis, and it wasn't economically practical for a biotechnology company to take it on. UC Berkeley professor and BIOFAB co-director Adam Arkin noted that, "We knew that we would only be successful if we could bring together the skills represented by both academia and industry to establish a professional team that could specify and solve the fundamental engineering puzzles that slow the development of effective biotechnologies"
The BIOFAB's collaboration with not only the NSF, but also with industry, has been one of the keys to its success. "Pre-competitive and unrestricted partnerships with industry were essential to guide the work and help secure and extend public funding," said UC Berkeley professor and BIOFAB advisor Jay Keasling. (Both Arkin and Keasling are also affiliated with Lawrence Berkeley Lab; Arkin is Director of the Physical Biosciences Division, and Keasling is an Associate Lab Director for Biosciences.) Other partners came from civil society, including the BioBricks Foundation, a public-benefit organization that helps to advance best practices in the emerging field of synthetic biology. "We were thrilled to help make all BIOFAB engineered parts free-to-use via the BioBrick Public Agreement and the public domain," said Holly Million, the foundation's executive director.
The BIOFAB's standardized parts are specific for E. coli but the "grammar" – the way in which the rules are constructed for how the parts fit together – should apply to nearly any organism; many of the BIOFAB's rules for E.coli are expected to apply to other prokaryotes. The initial parts have already begun to have an impact in academic research. Caroline Ajo-Franklin, staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab's Biological Nanostructures Facility, noted that her work was able to progress much faster because of the availability of the source code. "We knew we needed a quantitatively characterized library of reliable promoters to move our research efforts forward. Teaming up with BIOFAB changed what would have been at least six months of work into a few weeks."
The BIOFAB's work was supported by the National Science Foundation, the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the BioBricks Foundation, Agilent, Genencor, DSM, and Autodesk.

The first public look at a proposed budget for the University of Minnesota provoked some angst, some praise -- and strong skepticism from a new member of the U's governing board.
The state's flagship school is planning to raise tuition, cut employee benefits and reduce faculty under a $3.7 billion budget that deals with the "worst-case scenario" of a $70.9 million cut in state funding from this year to next.
New regent and former GOP legislator Steve Sviggum questioned why the U does not cut more employees.
"We've got to recognize reality, folks," said Sviggum, who said he opposes the budget's growth over the past decade. "I think I've seen from my own perceptions that we can make significant reductions in non-teaching and non-research positions."
The Friday meeting set the stage for a dramatic vote June 20.
The proposed budget raises undergraduate tuition 5 percent for Minnesota residents and 8.2 percent for nonresidents. Graduate and professional students could see tuition rise by 3.3 to 9.3 percent, depending on their fields. The 9.3 percent bump applies to first-year Law School students from Minnesota.
The budget assumes a $70.9 million cut in current state funding approved by the GOP-led Legislature but vetoed by DFL Gov. Mark Dayton. It uses tuition to solve a third of the "budget challenge" created by that cut, plus $58.9 million in increasing costs. The rest comes from a wage freeze, reductions to employee benefits, increased productivity and eliminating faculty and staff positions through layoffs and early retirements.
The budget will force departments to reduce their faculty ranks, said Provost Thomas Sullivan. Coupled with growing enrollment, that will mean fewer courses, fewer sections and larger class sizes.
In the U's biggest college, the College of Liberal Arts, 60 faculty spots will not be filled. The College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences will lose 32 faculty positions. Carlson School of Management's faculty roster will fall from 111 to 90, he said.
The Duluth campus has already shrunk by 39 faculty members and, under this budget, plans to shave five more.
"There's not enough money to fulfill all the commitments we have," said Dr. Patricia Simmons, a regent. "And I'm very deeply sorry and sad to see such a potential loss of faculty numbers at a time when we're making progress on graduation rates, when we're improving the quality of our offering."
But the proposed budget, she said, is "the best we can do under the circumstances."
During the public forum, several deans agreed. Tom Fisher, dean of the College of Design, called it "strategic, balanced and fair." Several clerical workers, however, said the budget hits the lowest-paid workers too hard.
Cherrene Horazuk, a U clerical worker and chief steward of the AFSCME unit, said the U budget provides for "exorbitant wages for senior administrators and poverty wages for front-line staff.
"Now the administration wants another round of wage cuts," she said, "and they want to shift $10 million out of the health insurance plan in order to balance the overall budget. This is unconscionable."
New regent Laura Brod, a former GOP legislator, was critical of another budget Friday. The board approved a $71.4 million capital improvement budget that included spending already-approved state money on repair and renovation projects, $7.3 million for a new sports field and $3.1 million to design a new dorm on University Avenue. Brod was the one regent to vote against the budget.
"I have a general concern over the aggressive nature of the capital budget," she said.
In meetings Thursday and Friday, Sviggum questioned administrators about growth in total employees. According to the U, total full-time-equivalent positions rose from 16,199 in 2001 to 17,931 in 2011, an increase of 10.7 percent. Sviggum said that other state agencies have dealt with increasing responsibilities and reduced budgets with fewer employees.
U officials responded that they have become more efficient and that much of the growth in budget and employees is a good thing. For example, the U is bringing in more sponsored research dollars and private gifts.
"It has not been the intent of the university to reduce its overall budget," said Richard Pfutzenreuter, the U's chief financial officer. "This institution has been trying to grow its budget in any way it can."

Analyst Says Apple's Annual Profits Will Be Highest Ever By A Public Company
Apple continues its meteoric rise in terms of fame, wealth and popularity. The company has smashed quite a few records in terms of sales, revenue and profits. And now, according to an analyst, Apple's annual profits will rake in so high that it will be the highest annual profits ever made by a public company!!
Apple Agrees To Settle iPad 4G Advertsing Issue In $2.25 Million Fine
When Apple released the new iPad, it has been branding the tablet as capable of supporting 4G networks around the world. However, as it turned out, this was not true for Australian 4G networks due to which iPad users in Australia lodged complains over Apple's misleading advertisements.
Apple Nearly Decided For Two Dock Connectors In iPad, Rumor Confirmed
Before Apple launched the new iPad, a lot of analysts had been speculating that Apple may be contemplating including two dock connectors on its upcoming tablet. As it turned out, Apple didn't do so in the new iPad and for the time being, it seemed that the news about two dock connectors was just a rumor. However, now, proof has surfaced which pretty much confirms that Apple did consider such an option.
Apple Stops Using 4G Branding For New iPad Due To International Complaints
Apple has been taken to task in Australia due to the fact that Apple touted the tablet as supporting 4G where the tablet couldn't yet use a 4G network in the country. The company was taken to court by Australian competition regulator and a number of Australian customers claimed that they had been fooled by Apple's 4G branding of the new iPad. It seems now that Apple is heeding these complaints now.
iPad Gains Greater Lead Than Kindle Fire In The Tablet Market
Last year, when Kindle Fire was launched, a lot of us wondered that perhaps Apple had finally found a worthy contender. While that is not too wrong, Apple has now jumped back in the game. According to IDC's report detailing quarterly tablet sales, Apple has been able to ship a whooping 67.8% of the total tablets sold during the first quarter of 2012.
iPad Will Finally Make Its Debut In Taiwan For The First Time
Apple has been releasing its new iPad in a lot of countries, though in phases. This shows Apple's ambition to go really global, by ensuring the presence of its products in as many countries as possible. The primary bone of contention, when launching a device in a country, is to strike a deal with the local authorities as well as carriers. Apparently, Apple has accomplished both when it comes to Taiwan.

iOS Devices Lead With The Largest Mobile Ad Market Share
Mobile ad market has become a highly lucrative industry. And the vendor who is more successful naturally gets to reap its bounties too, one way or the other. Whereas by the end of 2011, iOS and Android devices were both at 50% share of mobile ad market, mobile marketing company Velti has now reported that iOS has pulled ahead of Android in mobile ad marketshare, thanks particularly to the new iPad.
Get A MacBook Pro Experience By Using iPad With A Special Case
Accessories for Apple's tablet, iPad, have been fairly abundant. However, few have been so interesting as this exceptionally sleek and useful case for iPad that has been pointed out by Macotakara. This case literally turns your iPad into a netbook sized MacBook Pro.
New iPad Makes Things Difficult For HTML5 Developers
Apple has been quite supportive of emerging Web standards and has been giving them a central place in its devices and platforms. However, this doesn't seem to be the case in the new iPad in which, according to HTML 5 developers, there is no expanded support for HTML5. Using iOS 5.1, the web performance of this new tablet is at par with iPad 2, it is being said.
Apple Starts Looking Into The Wi-Fi Connectivity Issue Of The New iPad
Users have been registering a number of complaints regarding the new iPad. Whereas the satisfaction level of users of new iPad is very high, a small number has been complaining that their new iPad's wi-fi won't connect properly or would connect only intermittently. Now, it has been learned that Apple has asked retailers to capture it if any device with such a problem comes to them, so that Apple could check it in detail.
Barnes & Noble Release Retina-Ready Version Of Nook For iPad App, Version 3.1.3
Nearly all the companies who have their apps being popular among millions have been quick to launch a Retina-ready version of the app for the new iPad. We have been waiting for a word on this from the folks at Barnes & Noble and now, the company has finally released a new version of its Nook for iPad app for the new iPad – this version of the app comes with Retina content and additional highlighting features.

This is a great analog (circuit-wise) master keyboard with DCO (digitally controlled Osc, for stability). But uh oh..(!)... there are no MIDI ports! where did they go? they were never there, child. "i gottsta plays the keys sir????!!??" YES. you PLAY this keyboard, not sequence or something, you spoiled children. ...and turn knobs. and push levers. and press buttons. all in all, the sound is punchy and clean (unless you add its ultra-rad noise generator). noisy chorus is there. limited, but there. just being seen playing this makes you look smart and sexy, and aged. if you have one, treat her well. if you are looking for a master board, GET THIS NOW. i got mine for 299($) in new condition with an industrial-grade case. cant beat THAT with a ten foot stick. or maybe you can...
***when you can't choose a keyboard to spend your mommie's money on, choose an "old" one.***
can't go wrong. everything from the 80's rocked. err..
This is a very underrated synth. There is only one synth in the world that is very cheap and delivers high quality analog sounds and that's juno 6!!! And if you use the PWM correctly ( modulate from envelope ) you could get a flanger like effect. So two effects ( chorus and flanger ) on a vintage synth? Where can you get that for such cheap money? And which synth can make such thick and warm sounds with one dco? You name it. I've just got mine and wich synth can make sounds just as easy as an organ? You're right, the Juno 6. People that hate the machine are the people who do not know how to play a simple note. That's just the driving force of the Juno 6. The awesome arpeggio and outstanding sounds makes you feel like playing all day long. It really motivates and inspires you if you are muscician in hart and soul!!!
Soundwise, the Juno-6 is fantastic. Nice, punchy envelope, good resonant filter, though it's no MS-20 competitor. Pads, lead synth lines, and bass ooze from this synth. Organs can be had, but take a little more effort, strings will all sound very synthy, but sometimes that's what you want. Brass sucks. The chorus thickens things up nicely, although it's a bit noisy, and it sounds as BBD as it is. It's a nice extra to have it on-board though, and you won't find many other synths of this vintage with ANY built-in effects. My only real gripe with the Juno-6 is it only has one envelope generator per voice. Having the same envelope for the filter and the amp kinda sucks. But hey, restrictions in equipment make you a better synthesist and sometimes make you more creative. :)
