|We chose the \"Your time dining\" and apparently it was denied and NO ONE told us and apparently we were placed at 6pm dining which we did not know and when we showed up at 7:30 the first night the hostess was very ruse and told us she cannot seat us since we missed our dining time! We explained to her our side of the story and she still didnt seat us. We went to a man in charge of seating and he told us he can change our dining time to the 8:15 but not \"Your time dining\" and we agreed so we showed up at 8:15 the other nights and the same hostess would not seat us because apparently it was not changed in the computers like the man said he did. so MANY night we went without food or had buffet when we were dress up for the DINING room waiting to have a decent meal!

There are the occasional days where Lyger is home alone for a long night with the dog door, which he doesn't mind at all. Frankly, I'm sure he'd prefer it to being crated and toted places when we have quick over-night trips. Rather than bring a neighbor in just to feed and medicate him while we're away for 20 hours, we wanted to try a pet feeder.
We put it to the test for the two days before the Thanksgiving holiday when we'd be away for about 30 hours, just to give it a dry run. It's a bit tedious to program, as you must program each feeding for the next 7 feedings, rather than just telling it to feed at 7am and 5pm every day. Additionally, I don't quite grasp why the device allows you to program 7 feedings but has only 4 rotations. (The first feeding is available as soon as you set it down, so I don't count that as 5 feedings while you're away from home.)
But, once it's programmed...what do I have to say about it. I set it up for AM and PM feedings, it fit his 1 cup easily and I just popped his arthritis pill in a pill pocket so he'd scarf it up. It worked, just as expected, on a few big batteries.
I like the convenience and comfort so that I don't have to bother neighbors to come learn his food and medication needs just for a one or two off feeding. The feeding tray is dishwasher safe and compact.
But, this particular device has a lot of drawbacks in the programming department. I'm still not sure if the device will restart its cycle at the end of it's 7 pre-programmed cycles, and it doesn't mention it in the instructions. My biggest complaint is that you have to program each individual feeding instead of just telling it what times the dog eats and having it figure out the math on its own.
But, the item was on sale at PetSmart for $39.99, and that allowed me to go spend the holiday with my in-laws a few hours away and relax, without needing to bring someone else in over the holiday. Of course I came home and spoiled my boy, but it's given us a new freedom to come and go without inconveniencing our guy. I think this would be ideal for these sorts of situations, or perhaps other pets that need scheduled feedings or medications daily. If it helps people help their pets, that's not something I can complain about.

Who knew that there was common ground between Mad Max's post-apocalyptic wastelands and the ravaged plains of Mordor? Well, Avalanche Studios – the makers of Just Cause – has found some. While it's not hard to see traces of other games in this one's DNA, most specifically from the Ubisoft school of open world action, Mad Max has something of the feel of last year's surprise hit, Shadow of Mordor – not least because it might have been a surprise hit itself if not for timing.
Like Shadows it's not a straight adaptation of its source material, or even a direct translation of a movie. Just as Shadows took inspiration from the visual style of Peter Jackson's Middle Earth trilogies, so Mad Max grabs its look, its language and its dust and gasoline atmosphere from Mad Max: Fury Road, but not the stars nor the plot. The Max of the game may or not be the Max of the movie, just as the Max of the movie bears an ambiguous relationship with Mel Gibson's Max of long ago. He's a man haunted by demons, looking for peace in a world of lawlessness, thirst and casual violence. He drives, he searches and he fights. That's enough.
Here peace means some far off destination which you'll only get to with the aid of the Magnum Opus, the vehicular work in progress of a quasi-religious, crazed mechanic by the name of Chumbucket. To get the Magnum Opus up and running you'll have to deal with the rival gangs and wrest the territories of the wastelands out of the control of a warlord, Scabius Scrotus. It's a terse and brutal premise for what turns out to be a terse and brutal game, where Scrotus's scouts and scavengers have to be smacked down by the dozen, their vehicles wrecked and blasted, their grisly 'scarecrow' towers torn down. Mad Max is a game where regain health by chomping dogfood or 'yuck' chowing down on maggots scooped from a human corpse. It's not what your mum would call nice.
Its central pillars are open-world exploration by car and combat, both in vehicle and on foot. With two Just Causes behind it, Avalanche has form in all these areas, yet it's still surprising how well Mad Max carries them off. The buggies, cars and spike-enhanced trucks move fast and handle with a satisfying sense of weight and traction. Enemy vehicles work in packs, and need to be rammed, sideswiped or blasted off the road.
To help, Max can pull out his trusty shotgun – ideal for slow-mo shots at exposed petrol tanks – but also a harpoon, which can be used to tear bumpers, panels, doors and even drivers from enemy cars.
As in the movies, borders need to be repelled or thrown from the roof or bonnet, while fire and fuel erupts in spectacular explosions all around. This is vehicle to vehicle combat as it should be done.

The action's just as good on foot. With only one ranged weapon and very limited amounts of ammo, the focus is very much on hand-to-hand and melee combat. A shotgun blast or a thrown petrol can is handy for whittling the numbers down, but in the end you'll have to get up close and personal. Here, Mad Max goes for a brutal, scrappy take on fisticuffs based on fast attacks, blocks and counters, where success relies on watching for the incoming attack markers and countering just in time before dishing out a beating. Get a chain of attacks going and duck incoming blows, and Max goes into 'fury mode', moving faster and doing extra damage. This is not a clean or sophisticated brawler, but it is a satisfying one, relying more on new enemy types, combinations and settings rather than just increasing numbers to keep things interesting. There's tension and release in every fight.
Beyond this, you'll spend a lot of time scavenging and looting, collecting scrap that can be used to upgrade Max's gear or the Magnum Opus, plus parts that can be taken to a range of allied strongholds to give you supplies of fuel, water, food or ammunition. The wastelands are littered with enemy camps, rusting hulks and abandoned buildings, all of which can be rifled through for useful stuff once any guardians are disposed of. The game lets you tackle these your way, using a sniper rifle from the back of the car to take out sentries, or using the harpoon to drag guard towers down. Bar a few odd and artificial restrictions, gates can be rammed, blown up or pulled down.

All this action is tied together by a string of story missions and a wider selection of side-missions, covering everything from using air balloons as vantage points (in Assassin's Creed style) to races, convoy chases, takeover attempts on enemy camps, refinery demolitions and sniper clearouts. There are also wanderers you can help in exchange for information, plus a travelling mystic who can upgrade Max's stats in exchange for special tokens.
In short, there's always a lot to do at any time, with a daunting map full of icons and objectives to consider, and three good reasons to get on with it. Firstly, you'll need to keep upgrading both Max and the Magnum Opus if you want to get through the later missions. Secondly, you need to keep boosting Max's reputation – or Legend – in order to unlock those upgrades. Thirdly, the game has a sneaky habit of locking the next set of story missions until you've met certain requirements or purchased certain upgrades, effectively forcing you to tackle the busywork, whether you like it or not.

This turns out to be the game's biggest weakness. Like Shadows of Mordor, Mad Max can be absorbing and hugely entertaining when you're stuck into the story missions, but a little dull and repetitive when you're simply working through activities and side-quests. Shadows of Mordor compounded the problem through its endless grey, rocky landscapes – a situation Mad Max avoids by squeezing a surprising beauty and variety out of its cliffs, dried-up riverbeds and deserts, its bleached-out sunlight and fierce electrical storms. However, where Shadows of Mordor had its Nemesis system, building relationships between the player and an ever-changing cast of villains, Mad Max has only its story, its gameplay and its atmosphere to fall back on. It's not exactly the most unpredictable of games.
Personally, I don't find this a disaster; there's more than enough action and excitement to carry you through. Car upgrades and Max upgrades make effective hooks, and the game has a nice way of escalating the challenge and creating situations where you can add the spectacle. The soundtrack is great and the voicework solid, while the graphics have a visceral, cinematic style. Sure, frame rates drop hideously in a few busy areas, but that's by far the exception, not the rule.
See also: Best Xbox One Games 2015
All the same, Mad Max can feel a little over-padded, and it's slightly disappointing that the story gets off to a good start then simply disappears for lengthy stretches. Ditto for a failure to develop secondary characters beyond clichéd roles; a criticism you couldn't level at the otherwise stripped-back Fury Road. Most seriously, Max's timing could be better. Launching at the same time as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, it's a much less sophisticated and more conservative open world action game, based on systems and a structure that were already getting dated several years ago.
Yet that's a temporary issue. There's something fast, furious and brutally compelling about this adventure, which captures the spirit of the movies even if it can't match their drama. You'd have to be crazy to pick Mad Max over Metal Gear, but I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few gamers pick up on it later, then hail it as the year's great underappreciated gem.
Mad Max has its ragged edges, relying too much on not-so-optional side activities, but it's a fast, thrilling open-world action game that captures the spirit of the George Miller films. Bad timing makes it unlikely that it will be this year's Shadows of Mordor, but if so it won't be for a lack of effort, quality or style.

"Occasional but painful frame rate dips" -- I didn't see where you mentioned what system you ran this game on to for the basis of this review..
I have just over 69 hours so far in game on an i7 2600k rig I built in 2010, with all of the video settings maxed out. The only thing I've upgraded since then was the video card, an XFX R9 280X. In all the time I've played it, I've had absolutely NO video lag. To top it off, the game is running from a 5 year old SATA drive.
The only thing I've noticed graphics wise, is that sometimes (it's extremely rare) Max's legs will go into the ground as far as his waist when you task him with prying open crates. Once he's kneeling everything is as it should be
While the game isn't perfect, they did more things right than I've noticed in a very long time.
These guys did a fantastic job porting this to PC, I haven't played on any console, so I have no idea how it runs on those.
My pros:
A huge one for me is that they let you skip the MASSIVELY bloated end game credits, rather than making you sit and wait them out. Were these bloated? Thanks to them, I have no idea. I DO know GTA5's felt like they lasted an hour. And I know I can't be the only one that couldn't care less about who the lead butt sniffer was in 50 offices all over the world.
The actually released a FINISHED game. I've bought so many over the past couple of years that have DLC available on the release date or very shortly after.
I think these guys deserve HUGE props for these pros.
I agree with "Wake up sheeple".
Mad Max is one of those rare games that is actually finished when released.
I have not encountered any technical glitches so far, and the polish of this game is just outstanding.

Cape Canaveral residents worry helicopter tours could disrupt peace
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Some residents of Cape Canaveral, in Brevard County, are worried that a plan to start a helicopter tour business will disturb the peace in their neighborhood.
Florida Biplanes and Helicopters pilot Mark Grainger disagrees.
Tuesday, he put on a test flight demonstration east of State Road A1A.
Residents weren't the only ones watching the demonstration of the four-seater Robinson R-44. The proposal has to get through planning and zoning and the City Council. Representatives from both were at the landing pad.
Grainger hopes to operate his chopper seven days a week between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Resident Marlene Woodside has concerns.
"It is close. They are noisy. The second reason (is) sometimes flights have accidents. I would not want that to happen anywhere," Woodside said.
Resident Barbra Nyberg said it would be good for the area.
"So long as we could keep the noise down and keeping the helicopters from flying over our sanctuary," Nyberg said.
Ultimately, the Cape Canaveral City Council has to approve or reject the plan.
"There are other places that are probably suitable for it as well. But a residential seaside community may not be the best place," Mayor Pro Tem John Bond said.
Grainger said he would have no desire to be in any business if it wasn't safe.
"I'm a 22-year pilot. I actively fly for a major airline now. My whole life, I've been actively trained in mitigating risks and maintaining safety," Grainger said.
There's no word yet on when the City Council will take its vote.

CANADA STOCKS-Sliding golds drag TSX lower
* TSX down 66.04 points, or 0.5 percent, to 12,272.29
* Gold miners plunge nearly 4 percent, banks up 0.6 percent (Updates to afternoon)
By Claire Sibonney
TORONTO, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index extended losses on Wednesday as tumbling gold prices and uncertainty about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's speech on Friday outweighed optimism over bank earnings and positive U.S. data.
Gold miners dropped 3.7 percent, holding back broad gains by financials, as the price of bullion dropped 3 percent, heading for its biggest two-day decline in almost three years. [GOL/]
Goldcorp Inc (G.TO: Quote) fell nearly 5 percent to C$48.27, while Barrick Gold Corp (ABX.TO: Quote) was down 3.8 percent at C$48.18.
"It's just selling, selling, selling ... it's all driven by price, it's all driven by emotion," said John Kurgan, senior market strategist at MF Global Canada. "We shifted from greed to fear in matter of 48 hours."
At 2:00 p.m. (1800 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 66.04 points, or 0.54 percent, at 12,272.29. Six of the 10 main groups were weaker. Profit-taking after Tuesday's rally of more than 2 percent was hurting the index in general.
Financials were the most influential gainers, rising 0.6 percent on surprisingly strong Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO: Quote) earnings on Tuesday. It was the first in a wave of bank earnings reports over the next two weeks.
Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO: Quote) rose 1.1 percent to C$50.60, Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO: Quote) added 1 percent to C$74.03, and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO: Quote) advanced 0.5 percent to C$51.71.
On the U.S. front, new orders for long-lasting manufactured goods surged in July and the Congressional Budget Office offered an upbeat forecast on the worrisome budget deficits. [ID:nN1E77N096] [ID:nN1E77N0JA]
The data added further doubts to speculation that Bernanke would announce new stimulus for the U.S. economy at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, conference. That speculation had helped fuel Tuesday's rally.
Bernanke is most likely to outline gradualist measures, which would disappoint investors looking for a "big bang" approach, such as a fresh round of bond buying. [FED/AHEAD] ($1=$0.99 Canadian) (Reporting by Claire Sibonney; editing by Janet Guttsman)

EG&G Engineered Products Inc. (EG&G EP, Beltsville, Md.) builds components for engine and aircraft frame manufacturers, such as McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, and General Electric. In the past, EG&G EP used manual test stands to performed threshold tests on components. Safety, accuracy, and customer satisfaction motivated engineering test and development lab personnel to seek an automated approach to performing the tests.
An incident during a typical high-pressure test prompted EG&G EP to investigate the feasibility of building containment enclosures around the test stands. Although an enclosure increases safety, it makes monitoring test parameters, collecting data, and adjusting mechanical components in the stand more difficult for the technician.
In addition to increased safety, EG&G EP wanted to improve accuracy in setting and maintaining test parameters and provide more test data for customers. By employing an automatic data acquisition system, data points could be increased and reported in an easy-to-read format with minimal technician involvement.
Similarly, Acquired Data Solutions Inc. (ADS, Alexandria, Va.) developed a data acquisition system that can be automatically operated outside a test stand enclosure. The system centers around a programmable logic controller (PLC) from Omron Electronics Inc. (Schaumburg, Ill.). ADS chose PLC control because of its reliability and ability to control such critical functions as collecting sensor data and opening and closing pressure valves.
PLC sends data for analysis
EG&G EP selected Omron's C200H Series PLC for the test stand application because of its user-friendly programming interface, reliability, repeatability, and low cost. The PLC controls and maintains temperatures at approximately 500 7°F through a PID control loop; cycles pressures between 0 and 85 psi; monitors and collects temperature and pressure data; and communicates the information to a central Microsoft Windows NT workstation for processing and storage. ADS saved design and implementation time by using several components implementing temperature control feedback loops.
ADS wrote a ladder logic program allowing the C200H to perform other functions, as well as shut down the PLC when an operating parameter goes out of range. ADS also wrote another application to remotely monitor data collection from the PLC in real time using graphical user interfaces (GUIs) developed with National Instruments' (Austin, Tex.) LabView. GUIs permit technicians to enter inputs not gathered by the PLC. This application dials a pager that contacts an off-duty technician if test parameters are not maintained. ADS integrated ODBC into LabView to pass sensor data to Microsoft Access for analysis and report generation.
This integrated approach provided a turnkey solution that met EG&G EP's requirements. The system is secure and self-contained, allows the operator to monitor data, and presents customers with easy-to-read reports. Also, technicians can remotely run pressure tests from the laboratory, their desks, or anywhere outside a containment enclosure.

We're remote ECing, unschooling, free ranging goat dairy farmers.
I do fish oil for me. DD has coconut milk yogurt and CLO in her smoothies (a few times a week). I was doing bone broth (chicken and beef) until DD turned out intolerant to beef and DS turned out intolerant to chicken!! We avoid all the foods that we're intolerant of (most important, in my mind). And we have digestive enzymes, but I haven't started anybody on it yet.
Wow! Great responses mamas! You all inspired me to take the plunge and head over to a health food store to get started. I bought:
1. A Calcium/ Magnesium chewable from Twinlabs.
2. A digestive enzyme made from Papaya and with others including Bromalain. I take it with meals but notice I'm getting gas pains about an hour later - is this to be expected?
3. An Omega 3, 6, and 9 oil - lemon zest flavor. Its pretty yummy actually.
4. A mulitvitamin from Twinlabs. But I realized after the fact it has soy lecithen in it. Don't know how I missed that. I had already taken one before I realized my error but dd didn't seem to react. Any chance soy lecithen once a day in a multi-vit is okay?
5. A probiotic that said "non-dairy", but in a separate area that listed allergen info it did not say milk free along with all the others. So now I'm thinking it is actually milk based. I need to check but luckily I haven't opened it so I can return it if needed.
6. I plan to return to get a Brewer's yeast with fiber drink the saleslady recommended (they were out). We're trialling wheat today. If its a no-go on wheat can I still use Brewer's yeast? I don't know what brewer's yeast is or how its different from other yeast.
7. She also recommended a Rice-based protein drink to help with weight gain, or at least hopefully stop weight loss.
So that's where we are, in addition to being Top 8 + oats and coffee free. Last night I also bought 2 allergy cookbooks so I can break out of my rut of foods I'm eating these days :
DoulaMary - thanks for your thoughts. I called the company re:the Omega swirl. CLO was the only listed source but I wanted to be sure and they verified that CLO is the source for the omega's and also that none of the ingredients are soy derived so it sounds like that one is okay.
RE: bromalain - your point makes me wonder how many of you are doing other dietary restrictions in addition to eliminating foods that cause reactions. For example, I drink orange juice every day. Maybe I should be avoiding citrus?
I'm thinking for dd I should start a probiotic and bone broth. And maybe CLO though for some reason my gut response to that one is "not a good idea" - not sure what my concerns are with it so I need to sit with that one a bit.
That's all I can manage right now. I feel like such a wuss for saying this because so many of you are dealing with so much more - but I'm having a really emotional time about making this change. It says a lot to me about the role of food in my life, and I think this change will be good for many reasons.
TaraJean56: The CLO I give Tyler is Carlson for Kids and the dosage is 1/2 tsp/day. It's lemon flavored, but I till mix it in with his water/juice.
Probiotics come in kids formulas with dosages, but the one we found that has been working so good for us is in a capsule, so I just empty that into his drink as well and for him, I was doing three capsules a day, but am down to two. Whatever you do, work your way up, so the body can adjust to it.

text: It all depends on your rear sights. If you have the "ski jump" Novak style, you're out of luck. There is not enough angle to catch on your belt. There are several makers now building more of an angle into the sight. My favorite is modern old school, made by Ted Yost. All it takes is enough effort on your part to snag the rear sights on your belt, pocket, table edge, etc. to be able to push the slide forward with your shooting hand and rack it.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
The house is located on the 'Third Row' of Sandbridge. It is a short walk to the beach. Sandbridge has a white sandy beach and fun surf. It is not too rough, but has ample waves for boogie boarding and surfing fun. Pitch your umbrella and enjoy the day.
Cathedral ceilings and large windows provide an open, outdoorsy feel. Rough cut cedar walls and pine floors throughout. Living area opens up to a screened breezeway. The breezeway has wonderful sea breezes and shady areas throughout the day. Plenty of deck furniture makes it a wonderful place to gather. Master Bedroom/Bath (QB) is off the main living area. Bedroom 2 (QB) and Bedroom 3(2 sets of tw bunks) and 2nd bath are separated from the main part of the house by the breezeway. There is also an ocean side sun deck with a table and chairs and umbrella. It is a great place to sunbathe, and is shady and cool in the evenings.
Situated on a large sandy lot surrounded by sea grasses, bayberry and wax myrtle, the property has a secluded, beachy atmosphere. Enjoy bird watching and gorgeous sunsets over Back Bay.
Keywords: Beach House
We bought our house in Sandbridge from friends. We had visited many times and liked the open floor plan with the screened breezeway and high ceilings. We call it 'the house of porches' because it has so many places to enjoy sitting 'outside'. We like the fact that we can enjoy the ocean and bay without leaving the house. The short walk to the white sandy beach beach is another reason we chose the house. This photo was taken of us at the house in 1981, when we were newlyweds.
Don Tracy purchased this house in 1994
The house is just a short walk to the wide sandy beach. A beautiful white sand beach, surf, and summer water temperatures in the mid to high 70's give Sandbridge every amenity that makes US mid-Atlantic beaches so enjoyable. It has nice surf without being too rough. The waves are big enough for a fun day of boogie boarding and surfing. If a playground for smaller children is desired, Little Island Park is a mile or so down the road. It has a public guarded beach, picnic areas, a bath house, and playground equipment. If a nature walk is your preference, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is just a little further down the road from Little Island.
Hello! Don & Loraine,
We've returned home after a very enjoyable week! The house met our needs and provided a comfortable environment for family togetherness. The proximity to the beach was great!! Thank you for the hoagie/sub and beer! The beverage refrigerator is very helpful.
I'm sorry I did not get to meet you this year. Maybe next year I will!!
Thank you so much,
We enjoyed our stay in Virginia Beach very much and we would stay at this property again as it offered reasonable value for the area. The owners are helpful and friendly. The location is perfect - the beach is just steps away and is not very crowded at all, even during high season. The layout is terrific as two of the bedrooms are separated by a breezeway and are not part of the main building which affords a larger family lots of space and privacy. The furnishings were comfy and well laid out for the space. The A/C units are efficient and noiseless which I was overjoyed about because we were staying during a heat wave. I had a couple of tense moments trying to haul loads of laundry down the stairs and along an uneven route to the laundry room, which was inconvenient and a bit dangerous - a laundry chute would be a welcomed addition if feasible/possible. The house itself is almost 50 years old and while charming, could really use some updates (kitchen and bathrooms). Minor repairs are needed to the sliding doors going out to the sun deck (we chose not to use the sun deck for fear of doing further damage to the door that didn't want to budge) as well as the French doors leading to the bunk beds (doors stick and are hard to close; locking mechanism seems to be broken and my daughter cut her hand on the sharp protrusion from the door knob). Finally, a propane BBQ would be much cleaner and more convenient. We ended up cooking everything on the stove because we didn't want to take the time to wait for charcoal or deal with having to clean it out and wipe it down afterwards. But truthfully, these complaints are minor and did not significantly detract from a terrific week in the sun.
We had a wonderful vacation due in large part to this house... It was accommodating and unique. The beautiful screened porch and breezeway made the place a pleasure to stay in! Close to the beach (especially when cutting thru the backyard neighbors' yard).
This is the third year our family has stayed at the house and every time has been wonderful. We love the location, close to the beach and biking distance to Back Bay and False Cape. The house is comfortable and has everything we need for our stay. It's nice to sit in the breezeway with a cool drink and a good book. The bedrooms each have their own air conditioning unit so everybody can adjust temperatures to their liking (and they are quiet). The kids love the bunk beds and having a bathroom right across the breezeway. The owners are easy to work with and accommodating of special circumstances. We asked to leave our trailer at the house after checkout time while we participated in a beach clean up and they were more than happy to let us do so. Love this place and plan to go back again next summer.
We had a wonderful vacation and really enjoyed the house. We liked that the house was split into two sections with the breezeway in between. Our three-year-old grandson was able to take his afternoon naps while we enjoyed normal conversations in the living room. The walk to the beach is only five minutes, a bit longer with a toddler, so that was wonderful. Considering we were there for the July 4th holiday, there were very few people on the beach. We never had to fight for beach space like in the Carolina's. Each day we saw ospreys and porpoises feeding on several schools of fish...totally cool! A caution to everyone: The sand is very HOT in the afternoon...need to wear shoes to the beach. Thank you, Don and Loraine, for a beautiful beach house to enjoy for a week!
We had a great time in Sandbridge! Lovely beach. Warm water. Nice waves. Very family oriented. House was exactly as advertised. Very comfortable and nice easy to work with owner. Was a little surprised not to find any sponges, paper towels, dishwashing detergent when we arrived.
Had a wonderful time with the family at this home and appreciated its history and the care the owners obviously have for this property. We were all very pleased with the short commute to the beach (about 5 minutes) and general calm of the entire town. We were blessed with great weather and a serene environment. Don was incredibly communicative and had no issue jumping on the phone when we experienced a minor issue that he helped resolve almost immediately. Look forward to returning as soon as we can!

Oops! You've discovered an error after your tax return has been filed. What should you do? You may need to amend your return. The IRS usually corrects math errors or requests missing forms -- such as W-2s or schedules. In these instances, do not amend your return. However, you should file an amended return if any of the following were reported incorrectly:
Use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to correct a previously filed Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ or electronically-filed return. Be sure to enter the year of the return you are amending at the top of Form 1040X. If you are amending more than one tax return, prepare a 1040X for each return and mail them in separate envelopes to the IRS processing center for the area in which you live. The 1040X instructions list the addresses for the centers.
The Form 1040X has three columns. Column A is used to show original or adjusted figures from the original return. Column C is used to show the corrected figures. The difference between the figures in Columns A and C is shown in Column B. There is an area on the back of the form where you explain the specific changes being made on the return and the reason for each change.
If the changes involve another schedule or form, attach it to the 1040X. For example, if you are filing a 1040X because you have a qualifying child and now want to claim the Earned Income Credit, you must attach a Form 1040 Schedule EIC to show the qualifying person's name, year of birth and Social Security number.
If you are filing to claim an additional refund, wait until you have received your original refund before filing Form 1040X. You may cash that check while waiting for any additional refund. If you owe additional tax for 2005, you should file Form 1040X and pay the tax by the April due date to avoid any penalty and interest.
Generally, to claim a refund, you must file Form 1040X within three years from the date you filed your original return or within two years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
How to amend your return if you failed to request the telephone excise tax refund: Eligible taxpayers who did not take the telephone excise tax credit when filing their regular income tax returns must request the refund by filing Form 1040X. The telephone excise credit should be entered on line 15 of the 1040X. Taxpayers should use the most recent version of 1040X (revised 2/2007) to include this credit.
Form 1040X and instructions are available at IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Close to a year ago, fellow contributor Alex McNabb established himself as an atheist in direct opposition to the massification, vulgarization of atheism. McNabb's [first article](http://therightstuff.biz/2012/12/01/the-god-haters/ "The God Haters") was pivotal in establishing this blog, and was for many out there the catalyst for them becoming a regular visitor. ["The God Haters"](http://therightstuff.biz/2012/12/01/the-god-haters/ "The God Haters") is an undeniable part of the TRS tapestry: a tapestry that has for the most part successfully woven together what was once disparate and opposed. **Fast forward, eight months later**. If it's not already (*abundantly*) clear, a rift has developed between the Christian and non-Christian elements of TRS. Long story, short: I have a [belief](http://therightstuff.biz/2013/08/12/belief/ "Belief") that Alex feels is better left [dead](http://therightstuff.biz/2013/08/14/god-is-dead-lets-keep-him-that-way/ "God is dead, let's keep Him that way"). This has honestly surprised me: not only the stance, but the *vehemence* that has developed over time. The only thing my fellow contributor apparently loathes as much as an atheist is a theist. I suppose one thing we *can* agree on is that the modern world has massified *all* human belief and ideal. Far from being isolated within the atheist community, postmodernity's return to Genesis has spread globally, especially to those who presume to believe in Christ and his works (*see: any modern ["worship service"](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RJBd8zE48A)*). I wholeheartedly agree that one should spare no unkind word for those who consume what has been so obviously poisoned. This is why, as a fellow polemicist I can admire how Alex's arguments against these types are so well sharpened and thrust. However, I also recognize that in my fellow contributor's mind *ALL* believers in Christ are equally vulgar failures. So, here I shall do the impossible, and redeem what is irredeemable. > "The Biblical focus has always been on salvation and the afterlife." Which is a failing *how*, exactly? All human belief systems seek a state of "salvation" whether explicitly defined or not. Similarly, all humans seek such a state; to try and sweep this under the table is to appeal to humans that are better animals than humans. Further, any man who tells you they haven't somberly reflected upon the end of their days is either a liar or a fool. > "We do know for a certain fact that the scriptures themselves do not advocate any sort of elitist, meritocratic patrician society however." > "I would argue that seeking religion in general as a foundation for elitism is a manifestly silly practice to begin with." And I would argue that any attempt to separate the concepts of "hierarchy" and "religion" when we are talking about humanity is a manifestly silly practice to begin with. People think in terms of the supernatural, humans are fundamentally and *inevitably* religious creatures. To be a competent, acting human is to rely on something fantastical to some degree. For instance, having a conversation with someone is to *believe* that they will understand the subtle nuance within the limitations of your medium. To hold anything you call "knowledge" is to hold onto something that you *believe* to be correct. To cooperate with another human in any form is to hold a *belief*. To be anything more than a jungle predator is to harbor some of this irrationality. To think that humanity in any hierarchical system can exist without a religious narrative underneath is to ignore all recorded human history. Moving on, Alex presents some very ham-fisted anti-Christian (*post-protestant*) interpretation of scripture. So, here are my ham-fisted pro-Christian interpretations in response. **Christ on recognizing distinction and undermining disconnected elites:** > "But the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering, said to them: They that are whole, need not the physician: but they that are sick." –**Luke 5:30-31** **The Apostle Paul claimed that works without faith were as dead as faith without works. That "grace" is here inferred to be an earned privilege, and not a vulgar, democratic right.** > "For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Not of works: as of our own growth, or from ourselves; but as from the grace of God." –**Ephesians 2:8-9** **Not that I care much for sucking up to merchant's idealized carpetbagger, but the "Evil Capitalist" meme was not started here:** > "And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved? And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible." –**Matthew 19:24-26** **Pacifism from our Lord who had no problem slapping the shit out of moneylenders:** > "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." –**Mathew 5:9** [![peace](http://res.cloudinary.com/trs/image/upload/h_123,w_300/v1428562636/peace_lkuiss.jpg)](http://res.cloudinary.com/trs/image/upload/v1428562636/peace_lkuiss.jpg) > "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." –**Mathew 5:39** > "What is here commanded, is a Christian patience under injuries and affronts, and to be willing even to suffer still more, rather than to indulge the desire of revenge: but what is further added does not strictly oblige according to the letter, for neither did Christ nor St. Paul turn the other cheek. St. John 18., and Acts 23." –**Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Notes** **Equality isn't that bad, as long as you don't forget who is "you" and what is scripture.** > "And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise." –**Galatians 3:29** I find myself having to disagree with Alex's explanation of why Christianity spans the globe. Christianity became the world's most claimed religion because Spanish invaders beheaded pagan rulers. Christianity can be found worldwide because its missionaries worked the hardest at embedding itself within cultures by any means necessary. That so many Christians today can be found worshiping Him so poorly is more a reflection of past successes than of fundamental weaknesses. And let's not suggest Christianity is easily-bastardized: I've met more than my fair share of degenerate Mohammedans, Jews, Buddhists, Mormons, and atheists. > "Worse still, these religions are based on the EGALITARIAN premise that ANYONE can find salvation." I don't see the *means* of finding said salvation as being very fair or equalizing. Anyone can find salvation. Anyone can become a doctor. Anyone can become the world's strongest man. Anyone can call themselves superior for dismissing Christianity. It honestly amazes me, knowing that Alex has at least perused a history book or two in his lifetime. To see Christianity grow from it's humble beginnings as a cult in the backwoods of the Roman Empire, to being the most widely-identified religion in human history, and still write the whole thing off as irredeemable filth? Dafuq? Christianity couldn't have accomplished what it has by simply pandering to the most ineffectual and pathetic of society… Though perhaps it for the best that most atheists miss that fact. [![pander](http://res.cloudinary.com/trs/image/upload/h_300,w_235/v1428562622/superior_xgsaxx.jpg)](http://res.cloudinary.com/trs/image/upload/v1428562622/superior_xgsaxx.jpg) Alex ends his article with a final appeal to walk away from all the traditional systems, and worship what is left. Which is man. Which sounds fine and good, until man establishes something non-man to worship. Like economics, or science, or robotics, or anything. Which does, has, and will always happen. The return to totem and supernatural worship occurs because to consistently worship yourself above all else is to actively oppose all other concepts and beings in reality, to be incapable of having any real place in a human society. This is why I am intrigued, impressed, and vaguely horrified to see what has developed in these arguments with Alex. I will be interested to see where this discussion goes from here. I feel that belief is inevitable, and that properly-followed Christianity is the superior expression. I believe that the alternative posited by Alex amounts to a contest to crown the largest asshole "God." I'd prefer even the fedora to *that*. Ultimately though, we at TRS must find an answer to the following question: *"Can the post-atheist atheist and the post-christian Christian reconcile their differences?"*
"Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil." –Genesis 3:1-5 (Douay-Rheims)

Last game vs. Georgia: 14-10 win
Series Record: Georgia leads 46-36-2
Most memorable Georgia win: 1980 – Buck Belue to Lindsey Scott; enough said.
Most painful Georgia loss: 2002 – Georgia loses to Florida; it was the Dawgs' only blemish of the season. Georgia would likely have played for the national title against Miami instead of Ohio State.
Starters returning: 14
Best player: Brandon Siler
Biggest Weakness: Offensive line
2006's big question: Will Leak finally lead Florida to a championship?
Inside the numbers vs. Georgia (as seen in the upcoming Dawg Post 2006 Season Preview):
That's how many times Georgia has outscored Florida in the fourth quarter of games since 1998. The #4 Bulldogs outscored the #21 Gators 10-6 in the fourth quarter of the 2003 game, but still lost 16-13. Since 1998 Georgia has been outscored 59-23 in the fourth quarter of their games against Florida. The Gators have held Georgia scoreless in the fourth quarter five times (2005, 2002, 2001, 1999 and 1998) in that same time period. Florida has scored at least six points in the fourth quarter of every game except one (2005) against Georgia since 1998.
SEC Media Day's quotes to note:
"The 1992 class won SEC and National Championships - that's a great recruting class. I can tell you more about our most recent class in three or four years." – Florida Head Coach Urban Meyer on Florida's top-ranked recruiting class from 2006.
"We were not a great team a year ago. That team in the locker room after the Outback Bowl was close to being a gerat team. The University of Florida needs to get back to a championship game at some point." – Meyer talking about last season, and looking to the future.
"There is not a player on my team that I don't know everything I possibly can know about them." – Meyer in response to a question about if last year's Gators "bought in" to his system.
"I will fight for player I think deserve to be fought for. Chris Leak won more games last year than any other time in his career. The only correct criticism of Chris is that he's not won a championship." - Meyer on his starting quarterback.
Legge's projected SEC finish: 1st SEC East
Legge's All-SEC Gators: DL Marcus Thomas and LB Brandon Siler

Snoop Dogg (@snoopdogg)
Uncle Snoop had the internet going nuts with this one. The hip hop legend apparently got a french manicure and added weed and money sign designs. Either that's some pimp shit or he's recently gotten in touch with his feminine side. We'll let you be the judge.
The "Gin and Juice" rapper also posted a hilarious photo of him, Macklemore, 2 Chainz and Ludacris posing with fictional cereal boxes. Anyone up for Mackle S'mores, 2 Grainz, Snoop Loops or Luda Crisp?

Media distribution leader adopts Microsoft Cloud to increase efficiency and simplicity of global operations
Turning on Fast, Cost-Effective Productivity with Office 365
By Michael Cowler, Technical Operations Director
Adstream is the world's leading advertising distribution company. Headquartered in London we operate globally with over 300 staff across 33 offices. We're a truly 24/7 operation; our day to day working life is frenetic because our business never sleeps – there is always an office awake somewhere in the world.
Our core business is the distribution and management of media assets including TV commercials, print and radio advertising. Central to our operation is a custom-built, cloud based asset management system, Adbank, from which we streamline the execution of our customers' media campaigns every step of the way taking their advertising to the thousands of broadcasters around the world. That includes all the digitisation, specification adjustment and quality control of that material. Every year Adstream deliver over 2million adverts across TV, print and radio.
Our IT environment had organically grown over the years, with new systems and tools bolted on to support the increasing requirements of a growing business. We undertook a detailed, far reaching audit, which showed we were not time or money efficient; it drastically needed to be transformed into enterprise class environment.
Our Exchange server farm had become too large to manage, the hardware was out of date and we were running multiple versions of the software. Backups were a concern as well as the amount of engineer time taken up on maintenance of non-production systems. We were hindered in the development of our asset management platform, because of the repair cost and time required by the other systems.

They deliver an unrivalled two million advertisements each year and securely manage over seven million assets.
"On the day we switched the systems over, it was business as usual with no interruption. It was the best migration I have ever been involved with!"
We also were experiencing frustratingly poor email service and huge mailboxes were making the systems slow, especially when trying to locate historic content. It was a stressful situation for all.
I couldn't afford any risk with the new system. As a first step, I wanted to take away all the pain, time and cost relating to email in particular, and allow my staff to focus on developing the systems that contribute to the bottom line.
We'd previously run an internal pilot of Google mail and found it so inflexible and unable to accommodate the different devices within the business that it presented too much risk as an alternative option. We started looking at the whole spectrum of cloud-based and on-premise solutions.
RedPixie, a specialist Microsoft services partner, was recommended to me by an industry peer. When I heard about the positive experience they were having with Office 365, I thought "that's what I want!"
RedPixie worked like an extension of my team managing the entire process – we just provided them with access and all the information they needed. There was lots of planning and preparation and they impressed us with their depth of knowledge and skill.
The noteworthy point is that this wasn't just a UK migration. RedPixie managed all the preparation with our remote offices, spanning over 20 languages which is no small task! On the day we switched the systems over, it was business as usual with no interruption. It was the best migration I have ever been involved with!
We've now completely decommissioned our old system and replaced it with the Office 365 Enterprise plan. What I love about Office 365 is that it's not just about email; it's not a 'one trick pony'. I get a full suite of applications for people to use right away and to extend in the future – that's real added value and its gives the business the scope we need for our growth.
It's flawless really – it just works. We have everyone using Office 2013 / Office 2011 for document creation and Exchange for email. There's been an overnight improvement in the email experience, especially for the Mac users, and the support requirement has died down to almost zero which felt like a distant dream when I started this journey!
In partnership with RedPixie, we've created a SharePoint Adoption team to champion its usage in the business and the next stage is to get all users operational on the full package of services that Office 365 offers.
My original objective was to free-up IT management resources, and I have definitely achieved that and more. Office 365 has tidied up all the day-to-day management tasks and I'm finally realising my vision of having the full-time engineers working on the development of our strategic, revenue-driving systems.
So all in all Office 365 has provided an immediate return to the business. We have a unified experience for everyone, including speed of access for the teams in the remote sites. Maxed-out mailboxes and email archiving is a distant nightmare and we have a less complex hardware and software estate – in fact we have decommissioned 6 servers! RedPixie continues to support our environment and they provide an outstanding service.
Office 365 has not only delivered what it promised, it gives me real peace of mind. It's going to be a real game-changer for us. We don't even think about email anymore, it's just not part of my team's day. We have no distractions and we can get on with growing the business.

The Akai MPC Studio makes my DAW feel much more like an instrument. The velocity-sensitive pads and easy-to-navigate screen make it easy to forget that I'm using a computer to compose. I love the latchable note repeat function - it helps me quickly lay out patterns and stay in time.
Sweetwater Advice
The Akai MPC Studio is utterly awesome! I wanted something portable for my studio because I like to be on the move and work with other people. I also needed something that would work seamlessly with my DAW and with all of the different sounds and tracks that I like to use. I couldn't have found a better fit for my needs. It's as easy and light to carry as a laptop, and integrates really well with any software I want to use it with. I love having all of this power and portability in one device.
The Akai MPC Studio is a very powerful production tool! My first time with it, I spent a couple hours playing before I even realized how long it had been. The control surface integrates seamlessly into the MPC software and makes the process of creating music incredibly simple. Whether I use the MPC Software to produce or make grooves within my favorite DAW, the MPC Studio is the mastermind behind it all!
The Akai MPC Studio has been great to use in my studio. I love how easy it is to navigate and it integrates seamlessly into my workflow. The massive sound library makes this unit great as a standalone, but it's also been a great addition to my exsisting sound library. The compact size is great for when I am live gigging as well. I've been very pleased with the massive amounts of depth I've added to my recordings with the Akai MPC Studio!
Customer Reviews
MPC Studio
Love it!!!! It's geared to keep you creative, sounds are unbelievable. and very easy to operate. Great as a plug-in too. Best bang for my buck. Lovin it!!!
Fantastic Unit!
This has completely changed my music creation process. It is a great and affordable way to get into the MPC family. The software will keep you busy for quite a while exploring and creating new sounds! Highly recommended.
Great piece of equipent
This piece of equipment is phenomenal. Very easy to travel with and I'm able to transition my projects smoothly from my MPC Renaissance. I highly recommend for any producer. I must also so thank you to the Sweet water staff for their wonderful customer service.
Great Hardware AND Software
This pad is what it says it is and more. The pads are extremely sensitive and do not feel low-rate in any sense. The biggest perk to me (aside from it being an amazing percussion controller) was the huge soundbank that comes with it. The number of new wav files I have to experiment with is amazing.
Mobile beat Making
I bought this piece of gear to make beats at any time anywhere.....
Make a beat any time and anywhere.
This is a great piece for musicians who have obligations outside of music and need the convenience of light weight mobile equipment.
Loving my MPC Studio.
Being an MPC 2000XL owner and user for years I'm blown away with the ease of creating a groove. The software is awesome and very easy to use. Coming from the old school that says it all. Think of a groove, kick on my studio and the groove is on. Thanks to Derick S. for turning me on to the MPC studio and all the technicians, that's been having my back for years. Way to go Sweeter Station. You Guys Rock!!!
Fast Shipping and Excellent Customer Service
After many years of dealing with the legacy MPC 3000 and some of its limitations such as not having the ability to undo, inability to sync with Pro Tools in loop mode, MIDI beat clock time lags, limited storage capacity and slow load up times, complicated and costly upgrading procedures for hard-drives, lack of waveform displays, I decided to get the MPC Studio.
The MPC Studio from Sweetwater arrived sooner than I expected and faster than most other companies I have dealt with. When I unpacked the box and installed the software, I ran into issues with authorization. However, I emailed my Sweetwater Sales Engineer, Ben, who responded quickly and forwarded my email to Mitchell in Tech Support. I was going to return this item, but they emailed me back with the solution to my problem.
The MPC Studio has truly made my legacy MPC 3000 look like a dinosaur. It has overcome all of the limitations of the MPC 3000 and still has the same great pads and workflow. I love it because it allow me to sync to Pro Tools in loop mode, it automatically syncs when it is used as a plug-in, storage capacity is virtually unlimited, sounds load up much faster, and the waveform display allows more accurate trimming of samples. The layout was a natural transition for me as I am used to having the transport controls on the right-hand side which is the same as on MPC 3000.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and excellent customer service that Sweetwater provides.
Great a lot of possibilities and bang for the buck. IMPRESSED!!
Amazing Gear
I've been using this gear for about a year now. I needed something to add a little twist to my Dj mixes as well as live performances. This MPC Studio is the answer and more. This MPC is Not just for studio recordings but also made for live jamming. The only down fall is I had to make a stand to tilt the device due to the screen does not move. Other than that it's a well built one stop shop production tool. I love it and I think you will too!
Lot's of Fun!!!
It's a Great Music Production Machine... The only flaw I found was with the current MPC software included (v1.7)... It works great but appears a bit unfinished. Aside from that it a ton of fun creating with it. I love Akai Instruments... And the new plugin support is wonderful.
Very Impressed!
I love this thing. As a longtime MPC user it just brings everything into the modern way of producing music. I primarily make my music in Protools in which the MPC Software brings a whole new level of control to my sessions! I like how the hardware still feels and behaves like my old MPC, but the software adds a modern and more convenient spin on controlling my samples and sequences. If you get tired of re-recording your midi tracks on the MPC hard ware, YOU CAN JUST USE THE SOFTWARE, which is great. I did not have to relearn anything with the hardware and the software is very easy to get use to! If you already use other DAWs, the MPC Studio software is a no brainer! I recommend this for anyone that understands MPCs and why they are the best sampler and sequencers out there! If you are looking for a drum machine stick, with the company who knows how to make it simple and user friendly with endless possibilities. The MPC Studio is just as flexible as you are. It gives you control over every aspect of making your production come from your mind to reality!
MPC Studio is good
I love the hardware and software
So much more than a drum machine
This is my first MPC, but after talking to fellow studio denizens i realized this would fill the void in my beat making. I only give this a 4 star because I had some installation issues, but sweetwater (as always) was quick to get everything working correctly. I was ready for a steep learning curve since i've never worked with an MPC before, but i was making nice beats the first night. What surprised me the most was the "Bank" plug in that came with it, a whole other set of sounds and keyboards that i use with my M-Audio MIDI controller. I would recommend this to anyone making beats from the ground up in the studio. Plays very nicely with Pro-Tools, and the MPC software works well on it's own.
Worth the wait!
This unit was definitely worth the long wait! It lives up to all of my expectations, the hardware design is user friendly with the exception of it lays perfectly flat, I wish there were some kind of legs underneath so that you can angle it up twards you. The pads feel great and all the functions of the buttons work the way their supposed to. The factory sounds are great, you can make a whole song right out of the box. A surprise was with the software, it's a daw within itself! I haven't dove way deep into the software yet, but I was able to make a beat without major effort. The last thing I'd add is that it is super portable, it comes with a carry case that you can easily slide in a laptop case. The only bad thing about the unit is that you HAVE to have the MPC plugged in at all time to use the software, so if you want to do a quick edit or listen, then you have to connect the unit, also, if you want to use it with another daw as a controller, you'll have to transform the pad messages within your daw if its possible. So over all it's great, Akai made took after Avid with its proprietary approach the software and hardware, but it's still worth it to me.
Needs updates just like Maschine did
Shoutout to Sweetwater, always maintaing great service, I got this thing a day early and the rep followed up as always when I buy from Sweetwater.
As far as the MPC Studio im not totally impressed as I thought I'd be. The sounds are just ok im not blown away or anything. The kicks and snares are the best sounds, I bought this thing expecting to use more drums from inside the software but found myself reverting back to my .wav files. It probably just needs a few updates like Maschine did when it first came out, There are a few bugs like everyone has been talking about.
Overall I cant say whether it was worth the money yet, Its pretty light and sleek so thats cool but the biggest turn off is that you can't use the software without the MPC plugged in, not even use the sound. This is where Maschine takes the cake, If im on the train and want to edit some beats that I made from Maschine or make a new beat using Maschine sounds inside Kontakt that works but not with the MPC, it prompts that the software will mute as soon as you unplug the MPC, unless theres a work around I see this as a MAJOR flaw.
The step sequencer is pretty tight, and the pads feel good....it seems like Akai made the Renaissance, and then thought about how they could nerf it to make a product that was cheaper that they could sell. Hopefully its durable and doesn't break like my MPK did.
A Cool Piece of Gear
I've been an MPC head since the 2000 and I used it for sequencing as well as a drum machine and sampler. This guy here is the REAL DEAL, I like the idea of being able to have access to the vast number of sounds available and still have the MPC vibe. The only problem is that the software is a little buggy but most of the complaints I have seem to be addressed with the new 1.3 update. I use this guy with my travel rig, I would even like to get the Ren for my studio. I only gave it 3 stars because of the software bugs, if not for that I would have given it 5.
