Julia Irene Kauffman's recent announcement of a $20 million challenge grant to help fund a downtown arts campus was good news for the UMKC Conservatory. Eventually, it should mean that hundreds of students aspiring to careers in music and dance will be spending many of their days and nights in the center city. Students like Kerwin Young. Though at 42, Kerwin has a few years on most of his classmates. What he has also had is a most unusual path to get where he is. While still a teenager in New York City, Kerwin worked with the rap group Public Enemy as part of the Bomb Squad. Now he's studying for his masters degree in composition. We caught up with Kerwin shortly after he had returned from seeing his old pals Chuck D and Flavor Flav inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The recent campus-wide electrical outage gives us an opportunity to review appropriate responses to the kinds of emergencies that may arise on campus. While some are merely inconvenient, others may have more serious outcomes. Taking simple steps to prepare in advance can minimize the impact of the emergency and make a big difference in ensuring your own safety and well-being, as well as that of your family and colleagues, our campus and community.
For power outages, some tips to remember for home and workplace:
Have back-up light sources available (flashlights, emergency hallway lights); avoid using open flames (candles, lighters).
Back-up your computer files regularly and install surge protectors.
For those dealing with high-security materials, such as cash or confidential information, have procedures in place for unexpected shut-downs.
Remain calm; provide assistance to others if necessary.
Turn off and unplug electronic equipment and appliances.
Move cautiously to a lighted area. You may need to evacuate the campus building; however, do not use the elevator.
If trapped in an elevator when power goes out, don't panic. Call Campus Security (956-6911) or the point of contact listed in the elevator to inform them of your situation, then wait for trained and equipped personnel to release you. Never attempt to leave the stalled elevator on your own.
Turn off and unplug electronic equipment and appliances.
If in a life-threatening situation on campus, call 911 after contacting Campus Security. This will provide more on-scene details to the emergency dispatcher, who will be in touch with the response team (ambulance or fire department). Security will help guide the team to your location.
Check for any damages.
Replenish your emergency kits.
Review your disaster preparedness procedures.

Those who attended the 4th annual Charleston Bed Race were in for one wild ride. Colorfully constructed beds on wheels and their entertaining and eclectically dressed teams appeared at Hampton Park to compete in the street race benefiting Camp Happy Days, a non-profit dedicated to supporting children diagnosed with cancer and their families.
The beds' aesthetic ranged from funny to strange, and their "pushers" and "riders" appeared to be dressed a trial run for this year's Halloween. Dorothy and her little dog - who was renamed Toto for the day - mingled with the other members of Oz while a yeti lounged nearby and the redneck team roamed about, sizing up the competition with an intimidating flip of their mullets. The Toy Story team lounged on the grass, saving their energy for the big race.
The beds raced in initial heats followed by winners' and a consolation bracket, respectively. Spectators crowded up against the partition, craning for a good look at the ridiculous vehicles flying down the street. A plethora of canine companions also wandered about, tongues lolling.
The delicious scent of food trucks wafted through the air, and attendees chatted, took photos, and snacked as the afternoon wore on. The day was filled with laughter as the races took unpredictable turns, not least of which was the King of Pops' first race. The vibrantly hued bed lacked nothing in speed and its team had plenty of enthusiasm, but the directionally-challenged vehicle zig-zagged from left to right, keeping spectators on their toes... literally. The bed careened down the street, veering slightly into the grass at times. "Look! They're off-roading!" cackled one partygoer.
The beautiful afternoon of laughter and friends benefited Camp Happy Days. Camp Happy Days offers comprehensive, year-round support for children diagnosed with cancer and their families throughout South Carolina. The organization offers Camp, Family Camp, and Disney Trip programs, and each program is tailored to help benefit the emotional, physical, and psychological health of children and families affected by pediatric cancer.

NASA Tells Congress to "Pray" if Meteor Comes

Russia's meteor
(Source: gannett-cdn.com)
NASA needs funding for small meteor defense
NASA told Congress to "pray" if a meteor similar to
the one that hit Russia last month
is ever three weeks away from the U.S.
NASA administrator Charles Bolden Jr. told Congress that the U.S. doesn't have the proper equipment to identify a small meteor (the size of Russia's meteor) in a House Committee hearing on Tuesday.
"If it's coming in three weeks ... pray," Bolden said. "The reason I can't do anything in the next three weeks is because for decades we have put it off. We are where we are today because, you know, you all told us to do something and between the administration and the Congress, the funding to do that did not - the bottom line is always
the funding did not come
The U.S. is able to detect larger meteors (and offset them a bit by crashing a spacecraft into them, thus slowing them down and changing their course) with plenty of in advance, but smaller objects are more difficult because the sun blinds satellites. That's precisely why Russia didn't see the meteor coming -- and neither did the U.S.
Had the meteor not stayed intact for only seconds longer, it would have had the impact of 20 Hiroshima bombs once hitting Russia, according to a
CBS News report
Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office, said that the U.S. needs a space-based infrared telescope to see smaller objects coming. This particular telescope would work because the sun wouldn't be an issue in blocking sight of the objects.
Yeomans also suggested ground-based wide field optical telescopes that could keep an eye on large parts of the sky at night.
The space-based infrared telescope would cost "a few hundred million dollars."
However, government funding remains an issue. Bolden said NASA was budgeted only $20.5 million for its near-Earth object observation program for fiscal 2012.
While NASA doesn't see any large meteors coming toward Earth in the foreseeable future (and current large meteor detection equipment would know decades in advance), small meteors need to be taken seriously as well to prevent destruction.
The Chelyabinsk meteor exploded over Russia on February 15, 2013. It was estimated to be traveling at 40,000 MPH and was about 11,000 tonnes.

Trip Report
We just got back from Acklins where we spent a week with Fedel and Erika at The Acklins Outback Fishing Lodge.
We did a half guided / half DIY package and it was great. I am a total beginner & my husband is a little more advanced & we were able to catch a good number of fish. The weather was sunny and windy most of the time, but we had a couple of calm days (or parts of days). Fedel put us on the fish when we were out with him & the flats just behind his house were great when the tide was right. I think I will always remember the first fish I spotted, caught and landed totally on my own - what a thrill!
The food was delicious and abundant, the hospitality lovely. We basically shared their home with them, so it was very intimate. Not for everyone, but we really enjoyed the opportunity to learn about life on Acklins.
All in all and wonderful trip & I am glad we chose Fedel.
A little funny
I was about to post but then I realized this is not about Acklins in the Bahamas
I have fished Acklins a number of times including Salina Point a couple of times and do not have much to add on it that has not already been said. I really enjoy the fishing experience there. With the boat ride you can get to some of the best flats on Acklins in a short amount of time. Felton can also arrange for a guide.
That being said and considering what you are looking for I would consider Greys Point. It is located high on a hill over looking a beautiful bay. A great place to sit and read. Kayaks and a canoe are provided and you can kayak the bay and not lose sight of the lodge. There is also excellent fishing in the bay for DIY or guided fishing. They have some of the best guides on the island and will fish the Lovely Bay area as well as the bay the lodge is on. Also the Newtons are excellent hosts and the food is as good as anywhere on the island.
Acklins is a beautiful wild place but any place you stay on Acklins you will not be located on a beautiful sandy beach. Be prepared to use insect repellent when not on the water.
My 2 cents.
Acklins is a wonderful place! Fedel is a exceptional guide, and he will get you into bonefish.
It's hard to beat Ivels as a place to stay on the Island. It's centrally located so you can explore all of the island more conveniently. It is modern and immaculately cared for. The owners have a food business in Nassau, so they never run out of food supplies, which is common at other places on the island.
They have well maintained rental trucks too.
They recently completed a gazebo on the water to relax and enjoy a cocktail.
I've never stayed at Felton's place or Fedels place, so can't comment on those. Of course I am biased towards Ivels, as I work with them.
Wherever you stay it will be quite an Unforgettable adventure.

Beach Betty,
Some years ago I stayed with Fedel (two trips) near Lovely Bay at the north end of Acklins. He was a very good guide I thought, from my limited experience. Accommodations and meals were quite adequate. Trips were in March I think - maybe not the best time of year.
Also stayed once with Felton at Salina Point - the first year it was open for business. That was mostly unguided DIY fishing where we were taken by boat to various spots. Without a guide my catch rate was significantly less. Meals and accommodations were fine.
The main road running the length of the island was littered with potholes, but I think that has been since improved. The road into Feltons place was close to impassable but that may have been improved also. Felton may have kayaks available for use. At either location there is little to do but the fishing.
Things may have changed since my trips. All excursions to Acklins have been enjoyable - except maybe for the bug bites from tiny sand fleas or something.
I haven't stayed at Fedel's but am a multi-year Acklins veteran. I believe Fedel is up in Pestel, which is on the north end of the island - Felton Rolle is at Salina where we stay, and he is an amazing cook. Food is outstanding.
The lodge is beautiful, facing Salinas Bay. We had the best luck when brought up to the incredible flats to the north around Roker's and Felton will point you to the 'secret' spot.
He provides a vehicle to get up to any part of the island, including Pestel where you can fish with Fedel.
There is a small restaurant in Lovely Bay where you can arrange for a lobster dinner with conch fritters and a Kalik or two that you won't soon forget.
The island has grown a lot since my first visit, but the bonefishing is primitive and pure. I will go back soon, probably this winter.

acklins island trip advice
my husband and I are planning a trip to acklins in the next year. he will want to fish all the time - guided and DIY - and he will want a really good guide. I will want to fish about half of the time, then kayak, swim, read a book, etc. we both love remote, rustic places, but like good food.
we are deciding between staying at salina point bonefish lodge or fedel's place - acklin's outback fishing lodge.
anybody have experience at either place? any recommendations?

Read my review - 5/5 stars
almost a full minute. Thankfully, my driver had a covered helmet. The facemasks people wear help your mouth and nose, but do nothing for the eyes.
Far flung into the NE and just on the cusp of tourism development. I'm quite excited to get out and see it before it's destroyed. After Siem Reap it's a breath of fresh air to not be gouged on prices
There is more mystery here. Finally the land has started to roll instead of being dead flat. Close to the Vietnam and Laos border, it's home to a lot of different minority groups. All with their own language and customs.
We barely got outside the city limits, and cows and pigs were cluttering the road. People wearing large baskets were walking down the road. Turning off the main road, it narrowed to a wide walking path. Fine for motos and maybe a small cart, but not passable by car. I'm not even sure if people in these villages have moto bikes as I only saw people walking. Their main concern is growing rice and raising water buffalo so they can eat. They function as self-sufficient communities and don't have any business. A few things on the side such as weaving or making jar wine bring in a little money.
Sunday Afternoon: Yeak Loam Lake is formed inside an old volcanic crater
Giving: I saw my first landmine victims begging today. Two men were sitting by the entrance of the lake. One had no leg from the knee down, and the other didn't have any hands. Unlike some other beggars, I instantly felt compassion for them. Not knowing what to give, I found a 2000R note (50 cents) to give. When I put it in his hat, I noticed that the other bills were all 100R notes. He was soo very thankful and every time I was within eyesight he bowed his thanks. I couldn't believe it, as I still don't think it's enough to even buy a bunch of bananas...
Coconut Shakes: There's a place down the road that makes the most wonderful coconut shakes. Not something I would have normally chosen off of a menu, but I must admit I think I'm addicted
Rubber Trees: Don't waste the rubber tree! Rubber is one of the main 'crops' here (besides cashew and cassava) in Rantanakiri. So different from Pipat's farm in Thailand. Drove by some fields of new saplings across the road from old and knarled ones with scars that must be 20-25' high! But these tress are not finished, oh no. The branches are still good! Someone is climbing up and cutting the tree in these obscure places and then running a line down to be gathered. Many large trees had several lines running to fancy collector devices (aka baggie).
Airport: Driving out to some waterfalls, we took a short-cut through the airport. Driving along the dirt runway is much smoother than any of the back roads through town. And since it's only used once every few months by government officials visiting the area, it would be a waste of space if not used!
Jar Rice Wine: People make a kind of rice wine packed in jars which we were eager
to try
not removed. Steamed in a special basket and then packed in ceramic
jars, they're covered and let to ferment for a few weeks (depending on
flavour desired). When you want to drink, simply fill with water and
allow to steep like tea for 10 minutes or so. It was not at all what I
had imagined it to taste like. I think I had Japanese Sake in my mind
when I think of rice wine, but this is very mild and doesn't taste of
alcohol at all. But the best part is that you get to use bamboo straws
and the jar can be filled over and over again until the taste runs out!
Road Construction: Roads barely wide enough for 2 mopeds to pass one another. During one section they were reworking the road
the best – less bumps, holes, rocks, etc. And since there is no actual path, the choices are endless! Sometimes you get bumped around so much on one, it jars you onto another. Be careful of the high sections, they may be clear, but you could slide off. Is that soft sand or packed dirt? Better slow down! It's all fine until you meet an oncoming vehicle who's chosen the same path as you. Then it's a game to see who bails first and who gets to keep driving on
the preferred path.
Restaurants: Down the road is a series of restaurants across from another lake. On the lake side, they have set out a series of bamboo mats on the side-walk, all with condiment baskets on them. A few lights strung through the trees and you have a bustling picnic place come sunset.
Cell Coverage: Went out to see some minority villages a hour's drive down rough roads and then about 30 min by boat only to find mobile phone towers. These people live a self sufficient life with almost no money. As we're enjoying the serenity around, a large mobile phone tower obscures the landscape while our guide's phone goes off. Not reachable by road, no electricity, but they still have phones. I tried to explain to him how strange this is as the area we're from in Canada doesn't even have this type of coverage, but this boggled his mind that a country like Canada could not have coverage. No electricity in the village and no generators. How do they charge their phones you ask? Off an old car battery of course!

Did you ever hear the proverb, "the eyes are the windows to the soul"? While it's true that our eyes often express what we are thinking or feeling, they are windows in another sense as well. Like windows made of glass, the eyes let light in and allow us to see.
Structure and Function of the Eye
The human eye is an organ that is specialized to collect light and focus images. The structures of the human eye are shown in the Figure below. Examine each structure in the diagram as you read about it below.
- The sclera, also known as the white of the eye, is an opaque outer covering that protects the eye. It keeps light out of the eye except at the center front of the eye.
- The cornea is a transparent outer covering of the front of the eye. It protects the eye and also acts as a convex lens. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges and makes rays of light converge, or meet at a point. The shape of the cornea helps focus light that enters the eye.
- The pupil is an opening in the front of the eye. It looks black because it doesn't reflect any light. All the light passes through it instead. The pupil controls the amount of light that enters the eye. It automatically gets bigger or smaller to let more or less light in as needed.
- The iris is the colored part of the eye. It controls the size of the pupil.
- The lens of the eye is a convex lens. It fine-tunes the focus so an image forms on the retina at the back of the eye. Tiny muscles control the shape of the lens to focus images of close or distant objects.
- The retina is a membrane lining the back of the eye. The retina has nerve cells called rods and cones that change images to electrical signals. Rods are good at sensing dim light but can't distinguish different colors of light. Cones can sense colors but not dim light. There are three different types of cones. Each type senses one of the three primary colors of light (red, green, or blue).
- The optic nerve carries electrical signals from the rods and cones to the brain.
Q: The lens of the eye is a convex lens. How would vision be affected if the lens of the eye was concave instead of convex?
A: A concave lens causes rays of light to diverge, or spread apart. It forms a virtual image on the same side of the lens at the object being viewed. Therefore, a concave lens would focus the image in front of the eye, not on the retina inside the eye. No signals would be sent to the brain so vision would not be possible.
How We See
The ability to see is called vision. This ability depends on more than healthy eyes. It also depends on certain parts of the brain, because the brain and eyes work together to allow us to see. The eyes collect and focus visible light. The lens and other structures of the eye work together to focus an image on the retina. The image is upside-down and reduced in size, as you can see in the Figure below. Cells in the retina change the image to electrical signals that travel to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain interprets the electrical signals as shape, color, and brightness. It also interprets the image as though it were right-side up. The brain does this automatically, so what we see always appears right-side up. The brain also interprets what we are seeing.
Q: The part of the brain that processes information from the eyes is the visual cortex. It is located at the back of the brain. How might an injury to the visual cortex affect vision?
A: An injury to the visual cortex might cause abnormal vision or even blindness regardless of how well the eyes can gather and focus light.
- The human eye is an organ that is specialized to collect light and focus images. Light enters through transparent structures at the front of the eye. It is focused by the cornea and lens on the retina at the back of the eye.
- The ability to see is called vision. The brain and eyes work together to allow us to see. The eyes collect and focus visible light and change it to electrical signals that travel to the brain. The brain interprets the signals and "tells" us what we are seeing.
- Create a flowchart to summarize how the eye gathers and focuses light.
- Explain the meaning of the following sentence: The eyes sense light but the brain sees.

Civil War ghosts bent on killing me, Skinwalkers who just want my body, and a vindictive spirit linked both to my bloodline and my destiny.... It turns out the dead still hold a good deal of influence over the world, and they don't want to give it up. I'm in way over my head. Fortunately, I'm too stubborn to quit."
©2009 David Wood- Gryphonwood Press (P)2012 David Wood- Gryphonwood Press
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"Keep your iron tools handy."
A funny story about a guy who becomes a ferry man and helps souls cross over. Unfortunately he has to make a living somehow and ghost don't make a lot of money. In the meantime he is having problems with girls, ghost, skin walkers, soldiers and even mobsters. He never seems to get a break. It is not a book for deep thinking and some of the points of views are stereo typical but I enjoyed the story and will be getting the next one. The narrator was good, but dry and I can't help but think it would have been funnier if it had a different narrator. The story picks up the second half of the book. I happened to pick this up because a guy who likes Monster Hunter International recommended this book and was glad I read the reviewers other books.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"He's not Felix, but he's not bad either... meh..."
It is in a similar vein as Carey's Felix Castor books or even Dresden's books (in setting more so than in tone). I liked Felix's character the most of the three since he was dry and funny and tongue in cheek; Dead Eye's main character (Mike Ross) is dry and almost funny, but not at all tongue in cheek. Dresden is more slapstick than dry. So in the scale of popular urban fantasy main males, Mike is mid-range in the "do-I-give-a-hoot-if-he-drops-dead" scale.
The women are caricatures.
Female 1: Bimbo-y and elusive even though Mike wants to bed her.
Female 2: bimbo-y and elusive even though Mike wants to bed her.
Female 3: Mike's Mom. Judgemental and hard-working.
Female 4: a ghost: abused wife turned "run off with first manghost she finds"
Oh, there are couple more but they aren't even as "robust" as the ones listed above.
The story itself isn't that bad, and, while there is a bit of politicking going on, it wasn't over-the-top (though you'll finish the book knowing how Bernheimer feels about the treatment of veterans and government financial responsibilities). I am on the edge on whether or not I care enough to read the next book in the series. I don't think I do, but it is close. It's just a bit too slowly paced, the characters are poorly drawn, and, really, nothing actually happens in the story...
The narration is also... meh... I actually started this and stopped because he was so boring. I picked it back up and, after a couple hours, the narrator kinda blends into the background. He doesn't add anything to the story, and I suspect part of the slow pacing is his fault. But he isn't "bad" either. The whole thing is just sorta ho-hum, really.
There is nothing graphic (sex, violence) and I don't recall any swearing.
"Very fun Read"
My favorite thing about this book was the attitude, irreverence, of the main character.
One of the most memerable momments was the release of the lost childrens' souls in the
His ability with is voice and the ability to play both men and women
"Add the others Audible!"
This was good I had this in my wish list for a while, hmmming and hawing... Glad I finally took the plunge. I had listened to Confessions of a D list Super Villan, and really enjoyed that, but this seemed so different I wasn't sure.
Bernheimer's style of writing is no nonsense. He doesn't waste time explaining scenes and feelings and thoughts that have no bearing on the story, it's straight to the point, which is a nice change of pace. Mike Ross is a war vet that has a cornea transplant and can suddenly see ghosts. It's so much more complex and fun than that of course, but you should listen to it.
Apparently it's a series and there's more books. So come on Audible! I hate when you just add one book from a series. Keep them coming.
"Commerical corpses"
Though not exactly a new idea of people seeing ghosts, the author put a really fresh twist on this concept. The main character had his flaws but you could understand the reasoning that led to his decisions and sympathise. The narrator really put a lot of effort into the many roles.
"Like Harry Dresden? You will love Michael Ross!"
I loved the book. It was quick, witty, and has that dash of snark sarcasm I look for in the protagonist. Great Contemporary Fantasy!
"Wow not my genre of books but I really liked it!!!"
ok, if you have read Confessions of a D-List Super hero then the main characters are the same but in different Genre's. Which is actually awesome in my opinion. The reason why you like D-List superhero is the main character is a Sarcastic Hero that doesn't want to be the hero. Same here!!!
The main character in Dead Eye, Mike Ross, is very down to earth and unlike the whiner super hero's you read about in comics that are "cursed with power". Mike is more annoyed and confused with his "gift". He is the reluctant hero type and his sarcasm is much more humorous than whinning hero's in other books. I had a chance to speak with the author and he did say if you like D-list superhero you will like this book. He was right. A definate must read!!!!
1*=I didn't like it..... 2*=It was OK...... 3*=It was good but I will never read it again.......... 4*=Maybe I will read it again in the future.............. 5*=I will definitely read it again(maybe more than once)
This book was awesome!!!!
I decided to listen to a small 30 minute piece and I couldn't stop!!!!
I already bought the second book and I'm just waiting for the weekend.
Willy Wonka of it
"Really interesting first entry though a bit rushed"
Some folks have compared this book and its world to Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series. I can see the comparison given the theme and the humor, but I think this tale can stand on its own
It is similar though, in that our protagonist has a connection to the supernatural world and becomes quite notorious within it, causing him to face a great number of dangers (in this book alone). Also like within The Dresden Files universe, our hero slowly finds out he's a bit more special than he thought.
The ghostly world gets quite fleshed out in this book as well, while still leaving some mysteries open for future tales. We watch our hero perform experiments and gather info that leads to various understandings of the rules of the semi-afterlife. We also see our hero learn some lessons the hard way via some unexpected avenues.
I said this story was a bit rushed, and it was. If you've ever read the Harry Potter novels, imagine them condensed (devoid of anything not absolutely relevant to the overall story) and in one book. That's sort of how this book felt.
That's not a bad thing mind you, it's just a different style. It reminds me a lot of "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman. Each chapter/episode is a new adventure in the life of our protagonist, so while it does jump forward a bit, it keeps the story moving.
The downside of the above would be the narrator. Even when in the same chapter (or even page), it's usually clear when the writer wants to break and shift to a new scene; however this narrator plows right through, leaving you feel a bit like you just missed a step. Makes you wonder if they had limited time in the studio to do the reading.
The narrator also does a fairly poor job at various voices and even tones while reading. Most of the prose is read in the same tone of voice and can easily blend together if you're listening while driving or some other activity.
Overall, I'd give the story a solid 4-4.5, it was enjoyable, even if rushed (including the resolution). If you consider the story a compilation of adventures, that should help with any jarring transitions.
I'd have to give the narrator a 3 though.
Love epic fantasy, war stories, monsters, and zombies.
"Should've been better"
The story is a very interesting one, and there were a lot of directions the author could have gone. But the book never really got there. I stopped listening about 3/4 of the way through, bored. That's not a good sign for a book about ghosts.
"more than a ghost story"
told in the first person by mike ross this is the story of how he went from battle injured soldier to becoming the ferryman.
this is a great book which I highly recommend it deserves higher than the five stars I have given it

Companies that previously managed the entire development of a new drug in-house now outsource key elements to third parties
Over the past few years, a significant shift has occurred in the depth and type of relationships that the pharmaceutical industry has with its third party contractors. From need-based tactical fulfilment of requirements, these relationships have progressed to high-level strategic partnerships. Companies that would previously have managed the entire development of a new drug in-house are now outsourcing key elements of their drug development process to third parties. This shift has not only created a host of new job roles within outsourcing firms but has also made them more attractive to executives looking to make the move, from in-house to contract partner.
"Contract partners used to face significant challenges in attracting the best talent or offering comparable packages as compared to big pharma. But outsourcing companies have evolved over time to become specialists, improving their standards and systems to a level where they are often better than those operated by the pharmaceutical industry. Their increased capability to operate at a global level also offers more exciting opportunities for potential employees," says Mr Schwietert.

Yeah, I got one. Thankfully, I was wise enough to go on Friday.
The only exclusive I wanted from the HTS booth was the pony (for my lady) and the Starscream/Cobra set, but I'm glad so went through the process on Friday - I heard complaints in the line that it took hours to get a ticket and then hours at the booth on Thursday - thankfully, Friday was a little lighter and it took me a sum total of 3 hours for both processes. I just hope they fix it next year.

quote:I would agree... technology ever changing and the mixing of genres to form new genres is exciting.
I've been in the scene a very long time and this is the greatest peak in EDM I've ever seen. Loving the diversity and availability of music.
Ritchie Hawtin is part of the big "second wave" of Techno coming out of the Detroit area. Remember, Techno was invented in Detroit. House in Chicago. This discussion really puts the emphasis on how behind we are with "Mainstream EDM". This list is the most in demand DJs in the world. Sure, AVB and Tiesto have their draw, especially with newbies, but these are the guys pushing the genres. Give a listen to some of them. I see Techno, Minimal Techno, Tech-House, House, Minimal House, Nu- Disco, Trance, Techtrance, Breakbeat, Electro- House, and Future Garage. Globally DMB is Dubstep and Brostep don't exist.
I've been in the scene a very long time and this is the greatest peak in EDM I've ever seen. Loving the diversity and availability of music.
I cant speak on most genres but the diversity of styles in drum and bass right now is awesome. Its a shame I dont live in London
Not a lot of EDM fans here, I gather.
"I'll definitely give them a listen. Who should I DEFINITELY give a listen to? Ritchie Hawtin? Anybody else? FYI: I don't box myself in, but I tend to prefer progressive house. My favs are Arty, Sander, and Aviici."
for drum and bass id rather be in london. ibiza would be cool for sunbeatz festival
I'm a huge EDM fan, i just cant stand house/trance
yea those prices are pretty good. im sure some of my la people are hitting that up. kinda jealous
We spend 10x more easily in Ibiza every year.
damn I feel old. I recognize 3 DJ's on that list
The WMC pisses me off. Ibiza prices in America.
Ultra was better on the beach.

Release Date. 25/02/13
Catalogue Number. BDDNL224
Parisian duo VISION return with their second EP for Big Dada and continue to develop their unique, raw and soulful take on post-dubstep electronic music, smashing classic Detroit techno against the detritus of their French/African/Caribbean heritage to create alien soundscapes which can be beautiful or brutal or both. Relying on a composition method involving programming the bare bones of a rhythm track before jamming layer upon layer of music live on a series of vintage synths and effects units, then stripping back and giving these sessions shape, you can hear the spontaneity and human looseness this allows back into a field where all too often, producers prize a kind of sterile, deathly perfection above that simple, complicated thing, "LIFE."
"The Phuture Makes Beats" is a pummelling exercise in ryhthm building and bass extermination, "Vortex" harks back to the duo's debut track "Rise of Green" but adds a kind of ecstatic drive to the doominess of the original. "Origenesis" introduces us to the crazed afro-futurism of fellow Parisian K The Great, "Visioneer" is the most uncompromisingly violent track the pair have so far released, but develops a kind of transcendent loveliness as it crunchs forward. "Bounce My People," meanwhile, finishes the EP off with some unashamed funk.
This then, is VISION's vision – a kind of micro/macroscopic, future-low-tech Black psychedelia which conjures the organic from the inorganic. And hence, which creates life…

Rain,.. and lots of it.
Turned over and went back to sleep.
Made an effort to wake up by 13:00. Still raining. Some flooding on the road so we're cut off from the main road for the meantime.
Did a little aggressive cleaning out of a few drawers in an effort to increase what little space I have in the bedroom. Some success but I'm at saturation point. I just don't think I can make any more room available.
Went out to the Harvest service at the local church. Stayed behind to have a chat with Keith, and watch the presentations. Noted that the congregation was disturbingly heavily biased in the over 50's. I guess the younger generation (I include myself in that catagory, thank you) just aren't intrested in the church anymore.
Headed on over the Border into Eire with Keith to take advantage of the price differanceof the cost of petrol between the Irish and British government tax regimes. Hellishly wet (later on found out it had been the largest downpour on the last 15 years). Had a quick drive around Dundalk to see what was opened or had changed (quite a lot actually) in the last while, then Keith drove back across the border and left me back home. Gave Keith a number of magzines and tips for his computing work at school. While I was at it checked his phone number for broadband access,.. typical,.. he can get a 2Mbit link but think he dosn't need it. Oddly though the new phone number I have has popped up as being capable of recieving 256K broadband. I suspect this is some cruel ploy on the part of BT to frustrate me but we'll see. I'll ring them up tomorrow about it.

Gazpacho - Cold Vegetable Soup
Spanish Cold SoupTraditional gazpacho, a classic chilled soup made from pureed fresh vegetables, comes from the south of Spain, where summers are notoriously hot, and vegetables are abundant. Choosing fresh, high-quality ingredients is the key to a delicious soup. Choose ripe, ruby red tomatoes, small, firm cucumbers and bright, crisp peppers. And always use GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for a soup with a smooth, velvety texture and a well-balanced taste.
Serves 6
Prep time: 20 Min.
Total time: 25 Min. plus chilling time
For the Soup:

How to Peel Tomatoes
In our Gazpacho recipe, we call for peeled tomatoes. However, peeling tomatoes with a vegetable peeler is no easy task: the tomato's soft flesh tends to bruise and squish as the peeler hacks away at the skin. To peel the tomato while keeping the flesh intact, try this chef trick: Bring a pot of water to a boil. With the tip of your knife, make an "x" in the base of the tomato. Plunge the tomatoes into the water; let boil 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer tomatoes to bowl of ice water to chill. This "blanching" and "shocking" process detaches the tomato's skin from its flesh. Next, use your hand to easily peel off the skin.

so at the moment the people in the chat are having a whale of a time with the /me command. But soon I think the novelty will wear off, I think it would be just swell if we could get some more /commands, of the top of my head /poll [question] <answer><answer>.
Also, I think we all know the drought of conversation that it goes through from time to time, so i'm suggesting after, say 30mins of more than 2 people not talking, a tumble weed strolls through the chat or crickets chirping (or just the text version of that)
What do you say?

Textbook FAQ's:
Q: Can I wait until I arrive on campus to buy books?
A: Textbooks aren't available at campus stores, so you should factor in shipping time when ordering books. It is best to order books right after registering.
Q: Do I have to order from the CMC Online Bookstore?
A: You may purchase your books anywhere, but make sure you are ordering the same ISBN that's shown in the CMC Online Bookstore. Be wary of people selling the books at incredibly low prices. These may be prior editions or "international" versions. Some used books may also be missing supplemental materials, like software, so ask the seller before purchasing! Also, make sure the sellers shipping time will allow your books to arrive in plenty of time for your first class.
Q: Can I use financial aid to pay for my books?
A: Speak to your financial aid advisor for details on setting up a financial aid Flex Account. You can use this when checking out from the CMC Online Bookstore. Your Flex Account can't be used as a payment source at any other bookstore. Contact your Campus/Program Coordinator to set up your financial aid account.
Q: How can I make book buying more affordable?
1) Rent your books instead of buying.
2) Buy used.
3) Purchase digital editions.
4) Campus libraries often have textbooks, though you usually can't check these out.
5) Sell your books as soon as the semester ends (used textbooks depreciate fast, so don't wait until graduation).
Q: Do I need to purchase materials other than books?
A: Maybe. For each class, check the "class notes" in the CMC Online Bookstore for important information and any additional materials required by the instructor.

Lynne Marshall believes she developed her creative writing skills by being an avid reader, always observing life and raising her delightfully challenging children. In 2000, with two teenagers who no longer needed so much of her time, the story of her heart came kicking and screaming out of her head. She had a choice to either write it down or go loopy. A little of both happened, because in 2001 she entered the world of romance writing and has never looked back. By joining writers groups, attending national and local conferences and taking extension courses to hone her craft, she discovered the most wonderful group of supportive people and first-class friends. She considers it a blessing.
As a registered nurse for more than twenty-five years, it made sense for her to write medical romance novels. She loves to write about the world of medicine and the potential for finding love amid hospital drama, stress and sometimes grief.
When her husband realized she was pursuing her dream of writing a romance novel, he offered his support, while understanding her need to spend hours and hours typing away on the computer. He was also the first one to know when she got "the call" from across the pond on November 8, 2005, at 7:30 a.m. Harlequin Mills & Boon wanted to buy one of her books!
Lynne loves to read, take day trips with her hubby and, better yet, take vacations anywhere and everywhere she can. She also likes to see movies and eat outItalian and Mexican restaurants are her favorites. For exercise, she takes power walks with the family Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rogan. She finds brisk walking helps stimulate her imagination, and she has often solved writing dilemmas or come up with new ideas for books while walking her dog. Sometimes she thinks Rogan is her muse.
Lynne is thrilled to be a part of the great big genre of romance literature. In a world that often gives people little encouragement, romance stories always end with hope. And as she has learned throughout her life, hope is the candle that guides us through the long and trying times. You can visit Lynne at her Web site.

Past accomplishments and future plans.
Zhen Zhang is an environmental attorney and a global energy fellow at the Vermont Law School's Institute for Energy and Environment. This article, the second of a two-part series, is edited from the author's white paper, Current European Union and United States Smart Grid Developments: Similar Desires, Different Approaches.
Past accomplishments and future plans.
In general, the E.U. and the U.S. are concerned with similar smart grid issues. While both governments view the deployment of smart meters to be of the utmost importance, they differ in prioritization on other issues. Challenges to smart grid deployment include unexpectedly high consumer bills—instead of consumer savings—and privacy concerns. In other topics, the E.U. has expended more resources on R&D of distributed generation and microgrids. Although the U.S. engages in less research on distributed generation and microgrids, it focuses on drafting interoperability and security standards, including evaluating privacy issues. Only recently did the E.U. order standardization of smart meters and interoperability standards.
Smart Meter Deployment
Installing smart meters is the first step to realizing the benefits of demand side management and improved two way communication and two way power flow for distributed generation. Despite the fact that the E.U. has installed more smart meters than the U.S., both have faced issues with consumer dissatisfaction, cost recovery, and privacy.
Since early 2000, more than 30 million smart meters have been installed in Italy, resulting in a penetration of almost 100 percent. 1 In Denmark, an advanced metering infrastructure project involving 390,000 meters will be completed by 2011. 2 Like Denmark, where penetration is more than 50 percent, Norway, Sweden, and Finland have achieved similar levels of penetration. France, Spain, and the United Kingdom (U.K.) have less penetration, but are committed to the smart grid with full deployment timelines. France plans to achieve full deployment in 2016, Spain following with 2018, and the U.K. in 2020. Other countries not on course with the E.U. directive of 80 percent smart grid meter penetration by 2020 have pilot projects. 3 Since 2010, Germany has required all new buildings to be equipped with smart meters. 4 It is anticipated that over 111 million European households will have smart meters by 2015. 5
In the U.S. only 4.6 percent of all electric meters were of the advanced metering infrastructure variety in the summer of 2009. 6 Since then, many states have received ARRA funding for smart meter deployment. Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company (OG&E) plans on full deployment within three years. 7 Duncan, Oklahoma plans to network the entire city with upgraded grid technology. 8 In Illinois, 141,000 smart meters are planned for the city of Chicago and 11 suburban communities. 9 Another rollout is in Vermont, where 85 percent of residents will receive smart meters. 10 In Maryland, smart meter rollout was just approved after an initial denial of the request to include part of the smart meter costs in the rate base and a mandatory pricing scheme. 11 At least 50 million smart meters will be installed by 2015. 12 By late summer of 2009, reports predicted

When you descend into the grotto of the Church of St. Gabriel in Nazareth, give yourself over to the sound of rushing water, the cool stone walls, and a sense of the village where Jesus grew up. The well, its edges grooved by countless ropes bearing vessels to the water, and the steps to the spring, may be a 1,000 years old.
The Gospels don't say where in Nazareth the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus (Luke 1:26-38), but it is easy to imagine, as ancient tradition says, that it took place here, at the spring, where Mary would have come daily with the other village girls to draw water.
This church, its walls colorfully painted with Gospel scenes, still serves Christians of this city.
