Dear John,
Thanks for your great feedback!
If you look closely, you can see question 72 (might change later) which says: I want a free Repository and learning network of Open Educational Resources (OER)? OER Commons (http://www.oercommons.org/)
Which enable you to have access to most of the OpenCourseWare indirectly :)
But since you made a very important point, I have actually added another question specifically mentioning OpenCourseWare, which links you to OpenCourseWare Consortium (http://www.ocwconsortium.org/).
Thanks for the great question :)
Warm Regards,

Alexa.com is a subsidiary of Amazon.com. It is a website which provides information on traffic levels for websites. The Alexa rank is measured according to the amount of users who've visited a website with the Alexa toolbar installed. Alexa toolbar is an application developed by Alexa Internet. Its primary use is to measure website statistics. This toolbar collects as well as gives some valuable information. Once you install it, the Alexa toolbar monitors all your surfing and collects information about what domains you visit. They use this data to rank web sites. The traffic rank they assign to websites is based on 3 months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of other users and is a combined measure of page views and users. Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog's Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you'll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it'll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.

Under #23 Web authoring tool alternative to FrontPage and Dreamweaver? NvU

- 2 May 2008 10:42

Dear Teemu,
Thanks for your great feedback :)
I have added KompoZer (with NvU) to the list. Anyway, KompoZer is Nvu's unofficial bug-fix release, so I suppose they have a lot in common :)
All the best!

As for the free software everyone should have, I think you guys are forgetting iSpring Free. I use it for a while now and I am very positive about it.
- 14 May 2008 18:42
- Zaid Ali Alsagoff said...
Dear Norma,
Thanks for the suggestion :)
I have also added it to the list (Currently, item 28).
The only real disaster (from my brief experiment!) with the free version is the compression output. The Flash version weighs ironically more than the actual PowerPoint (Did a test!).
Since they have a commercial upgrade, I suppose they have left out some of the important and useful juice. Otherwise, how are they going to sell the product!
If you want to compare the free and commercial versions more, go here: http://www.ispringsolutions.com/go_pro.html
Anyway, until I find a better alternative, I will include it :)
Thanks again :)

Hi Zaid
Just had a look at Mango (tool 138) and it isn't free. http://www.mangolanguages.com/main/features includes the pricing structure, so I don't think this should be on your list.
Cheers for compiling the list though!

Dear Nigel,
Thanks for the 'Mango' feedback.I have updated that item, which is now:
Site to learn languages? Free Language (http://freelanguage.org/)
If you (or anyone else) have any better suggestions, please shoot me an e-mail.
In general, the list is getting old, and I suppose I will update it soon (properly) :)
Thanks again!

Those are very good tools, however, in many cases those platforms are used just to allow the team to review the same document together in real-time and "be on the same page".
The recently launched free site http://www.showdocument.com does exactly that, easy document sharing and web meeting friends and colleagues.
It allows co-browsing on any document, user uploads a document and invites friends to view it with him live
All the participants in the session see each others' drawing, highlights, etc.

Hi Zaid! I'm a student from IMU. Was amazed by your effort and knowledge of e-learning! By the way, is e-learning portal created and managed by your team? I found that the e-learning portal is very useful and it stimulates my interest in study. I enjoy doing the quiz. However, it will be more meaningful if all the lecturers utilize this portal. =)
- 16 October 2009 18:00
- Zaid Ali Alsagoff said...
Dear Jo-Yee,
Thanks for your positive feedback :)
Yes, our small team is managing the e-learning portal (which is based on Moodle).
The top management is emphasizing more on e-learning now, and I believe within the next 12 months you will see most lectures adopting and using e-learning as a tool to facilitate learning beyond the classroom. Just be a bit patient, and things will happen :)

Another good, free math tool is Softmath's Algebra Solver where you can type in (almost) any math problem and have it solved.
What sets it apart from similar solvers is the fact that as you type the problem in, it appears in a "two-dimensional" book notation (so you are much less likely to make errors when entering an expression). Check it out!
Full disclosure: I am the developer of this math widget, and would really like to see it being used by students in need ;-)

Sedona Turquoise
I bought the skinny dip many moons ago. Compliments I received on how this color reflects my eyes are still treasured today. This shadow is not powdery and goes on flawless wet or dry.
Cara Alger
Absolutely love this product!! I use it everyday, the colors are so rich and last all day long!
I own the Full Frontal shade and it is so beautiful and pigmented! It's perfect for travel because it has two colors in the pan! Great color payoff and goes on extremely evenly and smoothly.
This is my absolute favorite eye shadow! I'm not sure if it's made anymore since it used to be in ulta's and now there's only a few on Amazon. You should Def being it back!

* Oda recently posted a picture of himself with his son on Twitter - so cute!
A bit late but re Joubert's choice of music, I believe some of his fans have been after him to skate to the Inception soundtrack pretty much since the movie came out. It does seem like a very good fit for his style.
Akiko's latest blog post says she's almost done choreographing her new EX number with Massimo!

Oda's choices are interesting; and I believe they suit his style.
I wish him a successful season.

Ross Miner - "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" by Rachmaninoff SP
Please kill me.
For me, this is the most annoyingly overused piece of music used in skating.
Especially given that appalling, cheestastic arrangements of it are usually used.
Understandable. I do like Mrvica's arrangement, IMO it's slightly more tolerable
But, Ziggy, Miner plans to "portray the character of an illusionist" (according to the post/article I linked) - at least that's a creative interpretation of his SP music.
Re-posting from the Pre-season OES/OAS News thread in GSD:

text: FSA Acreage Reporting Deadline Extended USDA extends FSA acreage reporting deadline; risk management deadline remains unchanged Published on: Jul 12, 2013 USDA Farm Service Agency Administrator Juan Garcia Thursday announced an extension of the FSA acreage reporting deadline from Monday, July 15, 2013 to Friday, Aug. 2, 2013. Only the FSA reporting deadline has been extended. The acreage reporting requirement for crop insurance has not changed and remains July 15. "We want to ensure our producers maintain their program benefits by filing their reports accurately and in a timely manner for all crops and land uses, including prevented and failed acreage," Garcia said. Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for various programs, such as the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program; the Average Crop Revenue Election Program; the Conservation Reserve Program; and the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistant Program.USDA extends FSA acreage reporting deadline; risk management deadline remains unchanged Acreage reports for FSA are considered timely this year when filed at the county office by the new applicable final crop reporting deadline of Aug. 2, 2013. Producers should contact their county FSA office if they are uncertain about reporting deadlines. While FSA is able to extend its deadline, Risk Management Agency Administrator Brandon Willis emphasized today that RMA's acreage reporting date remains July 15, 2013, for most spring planted crops in the country. Farmers are reminded to report any loss within 72 hours of discovery to their insurance company. Farmers must report prevented planting acreage to their insurance company, in writing, within 15 calendar days after the final planting date. Losses must be reported and an insurance adjuster must view and release the crop before the crop is destroyed. Farmers are also reminded to contact their insurance agent if they have any questions about coverage, prevented planting, or for reporting and processing a claim. Producers should visit their USDA Service Center to complete acreage reporting for FSA. Source: USDA

Head Football Coach Ruffin McNeill Discusses The Upcoming Appalachian State Game
Kirk Doll, who lettered as a defensive end at East Carolina in 1971 and 1972, and helped Sonny Randle's Pirates to a Southern Conference title as a senior, returned to his alma mater January 6, 2012 as special teams coordinator and running backs coach.
Doll's first campaign back in Greenville was notable in both of his areas of responsibility as he directed Vintavious Cooper to ECU's first 1,000-yard rushing season since 2009 and completed an overhaul of the Pirates' special teams units that produced positive results, despite working with a first-year punter, placekicker and deep snapper.
After ranking last (120th) nationally in net punting in 2011 before his arrival, Doll's reconstruction efforts paid immediate dividends with a No. 55 standing last fall. Punter Trent Tignor, who was 29th nationally with a 42.8 average, and placekicker Warren Harvey, who hit 13 of his last 14 field goal tries to finish 15-of-20 and was a perfect 50-of-50 in PATs, both earned All-Conference USA honors in Doll's initial year of oversight.
Doll has spent the previous 33 years coaching at college football's highest level with seven programs and in the professional ranks with two organizations. He has coached on teams that played in 16 bowl games and a pair of American Football Conference (AFC) playoff contests.
Before accepting the offer to return to his alma mater, Doll spent the 2011 season as San Jose State's special teams coordinator and running backs coach. The Spartans' kicking game thrived under his guidance as kicker Jens Alvernik finished second nationally in field goals per game and punter Harrison Waid ranked 26th in the FBS with a 42.79 average.
His five-decade football coaching career began at Wichita State in 1975 as a graduate assistant and continued with full-time appointments as offensive line coach at Tulsa (1980-84), outside linebackers coach at Arizona State (1985-87) and linebackers coach at Texas A&M (1988-93) before handling various responsibilities, including assistant head coach duties, at Notre Dame from 1994 to 2001.
He helped Louisiana State to a two-year mark of 21-6 as assistant head coach and linebackers coach in 2002 and 2003. The 2003 Tigers, which were guided by head coach Nick Saban and coordinators Jimbo Fisher and Will Muschamp, rolled to a 13-1 record and the BCS championship after a 21-14 victory over Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl.
Doll's reputation as a special teams mentor was validated in the National Football League when he served Denver in that capacity from 2004 until 2006. In each of his three seasons in the Mile High City, the Broncos had a winning record and advanced to the 2005 AFC championship game.
He returned to Texas A&M for two more seasons (2008-09) as tight ends coach/special teams coach and had a one-year stint as special teams coach for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League in 2010 before joining the San Jose State staff. In all, a total of 17 of his collegiate players have gone on to enjoy NFL careers.
Doll, 61, earned a bachelor's degree from ECU in 1973 before adding a second undergraduate degree from Wichita State in 1977.
He and his wife, Kathy, are the parents of three children - Kate, Kelsey and Kyle, who is currently a tight end in the Pirate program.

Employer approved, employee surprised
By jodi j

About Me Purchasing Agent
Comments about Baudville Premium Jade Trophy - Beveled Wisp:
My employer chose this award to send out for our monthly employee appreciations. It is more impressive in person and takes the winners by surprise. The surprise aspect is not only the simplicity of this impressive award, but they realize their employer is appreciative of his work force which is far from the norm these days. We are blessed to have an employer who appreciates and acknowledges rather than blatantly expecting and forgetting the simple thanks that motivates. Reason for the 4 star - when ordering this particular award and going to preview it before signing off on it, the item line for the name of the person populates so small it is unsure if it will arrive with the name being a normal size or the size that is difficult to see. Also have experienced some difficulty in finding someone to clarify the font size prior to ordering it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Is a small deal on the "fiscal cliff" good enough for the time being? The time for a Grand Bargain has passed, but the president is returning home for a reason.
Europe is closed for Boxing Day.
1) Still waiting for the Big Retail Stock Sell-Off: A MasterCard SpendingPulse report said holiday spending growth was just 0.7 percent from a year ago, the smallest increase since 2008 and well below the 3 percent to 4 percent gain expected. We have known for weeks that the combination of fiscal cliff, super storm Sandy, and the events in Newtown, Conn., would weigh on holiday retail sales.
So where's the sell-off? The S&P Retail Index hit an HISTORIC HIGH on Dec. 3, up 25 percent so far this year; since then, it's down only three percent.
Despite weak holiday sales, some retailers have seen enormous gains this year: Gap up 69 percent; TJX Cos. up 30 percent; Macy's and Target both up 16 percent; Ross Stores up 13 percent; and Nike up nine percent.
Why no sell-off? Here's why:
a) There will be some earnings per share growth in the mid-teens for many retailers, largely because of the extra week this quarter;
b) much lower cotton costs year-over-year;
c) lower inventories help gross margins;
d) U.S. gross domestic product was pretty good in the third quarter;
e) home prices are improving; and
f) gasoline prices are much lower.
Finally, don't throw out the holiday season yet. The Mastercard data said it was weak, but we have yet to hear directly from the retailers.
2) The yen hit a 20-month low against the dollar, almost the same against the euro, as the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe begins. Japanese stocks are approaching a 52-week high; the Shanghai Composite Index index is near a five-month high.
(Read More: Why Japan's Nikkei Could Rally 30% Next Year: CEO)
The Bank of Japan's monetary policy committee will meet on Jan. 21-22; it is widely expected to adopt at two percent inflation target, up from one percent. Does that mean this trade is already priced into the market? The yen is down 2.2 percent since Abe was elected Dec. 16; but there are bears on the yen I have talked to who think the dollar/yen could eventually go to 100; it's currently at 85.
3) The U.S. housing recovery continues: S&P/Case-Schiller home price index for October was up 4.3 percent, above the 4 percent increase expected. With lean inventory, higher prices, and high levels of affordability, housing has been one of the bright spots for the U.S. economy in 2012 and will continue to be so in 2013.
4) U.S. government debt rating is in trouble ... in China. Seriously. China's Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. has place U.S. credit on its "negative watch" list. It cited the impasse on budget negotiations, no plans for maintaining solvency, debt growing faster than revenues, and frequent emergencies such as the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling deadlines adding to the risks.
Dagong, founded in 1994, is called an independent ratings agency. It is trying to become a rival to Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch, but the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has refused to recognize it.
In August, Dagong downgraded the credit rating ofthe U.S. to A from A+, with a negative outlook.
5) Autos a bit weak pre-open as Toyota Motor expects global sales to rise only two percent in 2013; production to remain flat compared to 2012.

Comfort is a right.
Comparing the Genius 6.6 Vent Carbon Shoes to Sidi's flagship Wire shoe, you're bound to uncover numerous shared design features. You'll find the same carbon fiber sole, the same adjustable Heel Security System (HSS), and an identical intake vent system. In fact, the two really only part ways on a few points-- aesthetics, a closure system, and price.
Hailed as Ivan Basso's favorite shoes, the Genius 6.6 features a more traditional exterior design than the Wire. This is most apparent when examining the shoes most predominant aesthetic features, the closure system. In lieu of the Wire's Techno 3 buckle system, the 6.6 opts for Sidi's tried-and-true, two-way ratcheting Caliper Buckle. Assuredly, you've seen the Caliper Buckle imitated by lesser shoemakers, however, this design was invented by Sidi decades ago. The system allows for incremental adjustments, either pre-ride or on-the-fly, and it's further complimented by Sidi's take on two hook-and-loop straps. Not your standard Velcro, these two volume-controlling straps feature Sidi's patented High Security Velcro. So, you'll never experience any fraying, wear, or loosening of the Velcro over any period of time. Together, as a system, the three-point closure system ensures that you get the perfect fit every single time that you buckle up for a ride. And for those who prefer as snug a fit as possible, the shoe's tongue and instep strap have both been padded generously to allow for supreme comfort with tight buckles.
As we stated, the Genius 6.6 shares the same sole as the Wire. Based off of the Ergo 3, the 6.6 sole features the superlative vented carbon fiber. It shares the same construction method that Sidi developed with its Carbon Lite sole, yet Sidi has removed around 38 grams in the process. Even with the weight savings, you'll get the same kind of stiffness and razor sharp power transfer you've grown to expect from Sidi. And like Garneau's Ergo Air system, the vent inlet is at the toe. However, Sidi's system can be opened or closed depending on the temperature and your preferences. This, you can do on the bike if necessary. The airflow moves underneath and through the insole to cool your feet in sweltering summer temperatures.
Also returning from previous top-shelf offerings is Sidi's vastly improved Heel Security System (or HSS) to keep your foot positively planted in the shoe. By means of a small allen key, it's an adjustable, rigid composite band that closes the shoe more securely over your heel to anchor it in place around your Achilles. So, no matter how much power you're pouring into the pedals, your heel will stay in place inside the shoe. It's a detail that allows you to cinch down the straps of your shoes less tightly -- giving you more comfort along with more security.
With a degree of engineered flex in the Vent Carbon Sole, and a secure and slip-free heel, you won't have to worry about hot spots. And you especially don't have to worry about heat in the rest of your feet, either. With the Genius' combination of Lorica microfiber, ballistic mesh, and new Comfort Fit insoles, you'll receive comfort, a perfect fit, ample ventilation, and season-after-season durability.
The Sidi Genius 6.6 Vent Carbon Shoes are available in the color Black Vernice/white and in whole and half sizes from 39 to 48. Most sizes also have an Mega option available for those requiring a high-volume shoe. Please note that these shoes are only compatible with standard, three-hole road cleat systems.

- Fit: True to size
Bought these for my dad who has worn a pair of Sidi's for about five years this pair. So far he has worn them on a couple of rides and says that they fit very similar to other Sidi's he has worn. He loves how the venting and how well air moves through. All in all it is a great quality Italian shoe; stiff, lightweight and well made would recommend this product.
Great Italian Quality

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a superb pair of shoes. I purchased a pair back in the summer and love the quality and fit of these. They are very ventilated and i do not get hot spots when wearing them. I am a US size 11 and the 45.5 fit perfectly. They stay nice a snug on the feet and the straps are very easy to adjust. This is my second pair of Sidi's. The first pair lasted me 8 years so they have awesome quality. Just what you would expect from an Italian shoe.
Too Big!!

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I recently found that normal shoes do not fit me well. I have wide feet. After trying a size 44 at a store I decided to order the 44 MEGA. When I received them I realized that they were too big. Competitive Cyclist does not have the 43.5 MEGA in this style so I order the Sidi 5 Carbon and I will see how they fit. They look like a really good shoe very disappointing they don't have my size.

I have ridden Sidi's for the last 5 years. My first pair were Genius 5. I would rate them fair. These Genius 6.6 are excellent. They have addressed all the issues I had with the 5's. they are extremely well vented., they provide great side support where the 5's had none. The wide size fits my toe box perfectly without allowing me to swim in the rear of the shoe. This shoe actually fits American feet, not just Italian feet! I will keep buying these. 5 stars.

Beautiful makeover! Love your fabric choice!ReplyDelete
I love the ottoman! I was wondering roughly, how much fabric that you needed, and how thick the foam was! Im having my husband turn our old coffee table into just this, this weekend! :DReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Alaina! This took about 2 yards of fabric, and the foam was 3 inches thick. Good luck with yours! I'd love to see a picture when you finish!Delete

Great tutoria!! Where can you get fabric wide enough to do it all in one wrap? I checked local Joann's Fabric Store but they didn't have any wide enough. West Elm was pricey but I did see you could order by the yard at 54 inch wide. Any other suggestions?ReplyDelete

This is not a particularly deep thread, but it seems to me that the prevalence of 'Atheism' with a capital 'A' is growing. 'Atheism' is a common noun, not a proper noun, so in English it should not normally be capitalized (unless it is at the beginning of a sentence). However, for a time I used to hear people referring to 'Big A Atheism' implying additional values ascribed to the term beyond mere lack of belief.
For those who capitalize, is this just just an odd typing habit, or are you implying something by writing 'Atheism' instead of 'atheism'? If the latter, what is your intended meaning?
For the record, I doesn't matter to me that people use one over the other; it's just a point of curiosity as to why. Personally, I prefer it as a common noun indicating nothing more than one very simple statement of disbelief in deities.
Views: 754
Does this mean the 'A' is something that puts you or your position on equal standing with theists in the realm of philosophy (in the broadest sense of the term), or just that when you apply the term 'atheist' to yourself, it holds the same sort of specificity that proper nouns hold?
Are you suggesting that capitalising the name of a group is more about respect? Because if so I have to point out that respect is nothing to do with it. It is an issue of grammar and only grammar
Honestly Kris this is such an interesting question. I had to work out when I actually capitalise and when I don't. Is it a noun or a proper noun? I think if I'm comparing atheism to a specific religion, like Islam or Christianity, I capitalise Atheism too. But if I'm referring generally to atheists, I don't (except I probably have in some post or another). I don't seem to have the same dichotomy with 'theism', however, which I don't appear to have the urge to capitalise. How odd.
I think I'll make a personal grammar rule now, and lose the capitalisation.
In terms of grammar, it seems the most reasonable practice for anyone not intentionally assigning purpose to the 'A'. The case for 'agnostic' is a bit more entertaining. Given the sense in which it is used, it makes sense that it is a common noun, but 'Gnostic' as a noun is typically capitalized because it usually refers specifically to the Gnostics of early Christianity.
I started off using a capital but I would get pulled up for it in forums.. I dont seem to have a rhythm for the word yet. Im beginning to use lower case now but I alaway have to stop & think about it.
I will often capitalize the "A" especially if I am implying the philosophy of life that ensues from being an Atheist rather than just "atheism" as a lack of belief in "gods". Strictly speaking I am aware of the grammatical offence but I will overlook it in this case even if sometimes poor grammar is a bugbear of mine. I am conscious of doing it and even make an effort to do so in posts where I use word "god". I even have a red "A" tattooed on my upper arm.
"grammar is a bugbear of mine."
Oh No .. My grama must bug yo a lit then *% ...
No really - I get gramma anxiety around you peopl ...
Capitalizing Atheism will just feed into those theists who want to say "See, Atheism is just another religion."
I capitalize the word "Atheist" when I am referring to myself.
I agree it should probably be "atheism" and "atheists" or "atheist"
But I will settle for just getting people to form the plural properly; I still see the occasional "why are atheist [sic] doing X" type of sentence even though the worst violator got his sorry ass banned (for other reasons) months ago.
I capitalize Atheism as a sort of protest because I detest the fact that Christians have taken the English word for deity and made us capitalize it - I do not capitalize the word 'god' because I do not consider it a proper noun.

8 Awesome New Tabletop Synths
Craig Anderton
May 2, 2013
Once upon a time, it seemed just about every keyboard synthesizer had a rack-mount version. Although rack-mount synths never sold that well, the concept has resurfaced as the tabletop (a.k.a. desktop) synthesizer.
Tabletop synths range from a basic, inexpensive unit like the Korg Monotribe to something as sophisticated as standard synthesizers—if not more so. Elektron's Analog Four has more of a groove orientation, while Moog's Minitaur is a special-purpose analog bass synth.
If you seek a tabletop synth, it's important to define your needs and preferences so you make the right decision; this roundup explains the types of features and technology you'll find, along with profiles of eight very different tabletop synth approaches.
The Analog Factor
I'm not a synth purist; whether a synth is analog, digital, or virtual, I'll get some cool sounds. But analog synths have a particular sound quality that's another useful color for your palette, and many tabletop synths make analog technology affordable by stripping away the keyboard, large casing, and limiting the number of voices. (More voices equals a higher price tag.) If you want analog, your least-expensive option will usually be a tabletop synth.
Analog synths typically have a fairly limited collection—sawtooth, square, triangle, and maybe some variations like variable pulse-width or duty cycle. That's been enough to power a lot of recordings over the years, but a digital synth architecture usually provides a wider range of options. The basic tradeoff is analog purity versus digital versatility.
Some analog synths accomplish a bigger oscillator sound by adding a sub-oscillator, which simply divides the main oscillator down an octave or two. Also, single-oscillator synths sometimes incorporate a chorus effect to imitate the sound of two detuned oscillators.
This means a synth can create different sounds simultaneously. It's primarily a feature with digital synths, as polyphony and multitimbral operation are complementary; you need lots of voices to be able to distribute them over different sounds.
Onboard Sequencer/Pattern Generator
A sequencer records your keypresses and (usually) controller motions. This function is great for songwriting, as you can often capture ideas faster than with a conventional recording setup. Full-blown sequencers are usually found only in digital workstations, so most tabletop synths downsize to pattern generators (also called step sequencers), which let you create mini-sequences of 8 to 32 notes or so. They're ideal for bass lines, electro-type drum patterns, melodic riffs, and the like.
An arpeggiator triggers held or latched notes sequentially in a pattern. (Sometimes arpeggiators are polyphonic, and can trigger several parallel patterns.) Typical modes include going up or down the held notes, up/down, random, or extended, in which the notes you hold down repeat over several octaves.
Realtime controls
Don't expect wheels or a control surface for your DAW, but Korg's Monotribe has a nifty little ribbon controller, and DSI's Tetra has a "Push It!" button that triggers notes and latches sequences. Also, tabletop synths often feature a lot of controls, which encourages realtime tweaking.
More presets are good, because even if you don't create sounds, you'll probably want to store variations on factory presets. This is also where digital technology complements the analog world by providing digital control over analog circuitry.
Accessory Software
Some synths include software for editing parameters, or even an option to make the physical synth look like a VST, AU, or RTAS plug-in (although of course, you can insert only one instance—it's hardware). Seeing parameters onscreen can sometimes lead to faster editing than tweaking knobs, as well as allow for storing presets in a computer, but may also allow accessing "hidden" functions.
Digital I/O
USB I/O can offer options like transferring MIDI data over USB instead of using patch cords with 5-pin DIN connectors, or even streaming audio.
Audio Input
Usually, this is about using the synthesizer to process external signals, like gating a guitar with the VCA or sweeping its tone with an onboard filter. However, few synths include functions to have the synthesizer respond to the input. (The Access Virus TI2's envelope follower is an exception.) As a result, this is most effective if one person plays the synth while another plays the input source, or you can sequence synth parameters as you play.
CV/Gate Inputs
Old schoolers will appreciate a tabletop synth with control voltage and gate inputs so you can play from ancient keyboards (or even a new one, like Akai's way-cool MAX49).
But It's About More Than Specs
Specs are important if you want to accomplish specific sounds, but ultimately, this is about playing music. If you fall in love with a synth, trust your instincts; some of the best synth parts ever recorded were played on a single-voice, non-multitimbral, non-expandable Minimoog. If you're trying out an instrument and it doesn't inspire you, move on even if it has the most amazing spec sheet you've ever seen. After all, no one has yet figured out how to play a spec sheet.

GREAT Studio! – SOMA Studio in Salt Lake City is a true gem - a sparkling gem! This is the place to go if you are serious about your yoga and getting top notch instruction. If you spend more energy trying to match your yoga top and bottom to your yoga mat, then this is not the studio for you. There isn't any yoga-posing here....the students and teachers are all about yoga, opening the body and the mind. The studio is very inviting and has a great enery about it. I've practiced for 6 years - in Seattle and SLC - and this is by far my favorite studio to practice and learn. ~nAmaStE
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – This Salt Lake City yoga studio offers hatha, kundalini and ashtanga-style classes as well as prenatal workshops.
Soma is the best! – After having studied at several other local studios, I finally checked out Soma. What took me so long! Soma's classes are head and shoulders above the rest. With a lineup of amazing teachers (surprisingly, they aren't yet well-known nationally but they seem to have trained nearly every top teacher in town) each class I've taken has blown my mind both mentally and physically. The place doesn't impress from the outside, but walk inside and it's the most welcoming beautiful place in town, with friendly staff and teachers. This is definitely Salt Lake's best kept yoga secret.
