To assist States with the implementation of Article 9 and Part 3 of the Technical Annex, in 2009 the then Coordinator on Generic Preventive Measures, Colonel Jean-Christophe Le Roux of France, developed a questionnaire which serves as a checklist for States to consider when they are developing procedures, guidelines or regulations on the implementation of generic preventive measures. The checklist has been reproduced in full below. It can also be found in Protocol V document CCW/P.V/CONF/2010/6/Add.1, 11 November 2010. Essentially the checklist is a tool to facilitate the implementation of generic preventive measures. While it does not have any legal status, it is hoped that the checklist will clarify various issues, establish best practises and serve to monitor and improve the implementation of generic preventive measures at the national level.

Political Analyst: Speculation About Lt. Governor Shortlist Part of Larger Strategy
June 14th, 2013 | WMFE- With the 2013 state legislative session in the history books, rumors are starting to fly about who Governor Rick Scott will choose as his Lieutenant Governor. Some political observers say it's part of a larger strategy.
Published reports even speculate that Orange County Schools Superintendent – and Democrat – Barbara Jenkins is on the short list for consideration to replace Jennifer Carroll, who resigned earlier this year.
90.7 political analyst Dick Batchelor says Governor Scott is following the politician's playbook on how to pick a lieutenant governor while running for re-election- up to a point.
He says Scott will whip up interest the old-fashioned way – by putting at least one prominent name from each region of Florida on the list – like North Florida's Senate President Don Gaetz in the Panhandle, and Superintendent Barbara Jenkins in Orange County.
But, Batchelor says, in the end it won't be Gaetz or Jenkins for Scott.
"So he basically works his way around the state and floats names of incumbent and/or popular political figures but in the end I guarantee you he'll go where his polling directs him and my inclination is to say that it will not be a Democrat," says Batchelor.
"It would be a Republican, they will be female and they will be Hispanic."
Batchelor says Scott needs to shore up support from women and Hispanic voters if he hopes to raise his 40% approval rating before the 2014 election, while reconnecting with his Republican base.
Governor Scott's office released a statement saying he has not yet begun the process of looking for a Lieutenant Governor.

It took me a while to figure out that as a newbie to the forum, there is a dedicated place to post and we can't post on the active threads. Not sure if anyone with experience will be here, but if so, I'd be really grateful for your insight.
I gave my adult kids a Polk Audio Monitor 60-based surround system with a Yamaha receiver for Christmas, and that has motivated me to want to replace my own system. I'm considering a replacement of my current setup - a 10 year investment if you will. Currently I have R50's, a basic Polk center channel speaker and a Denon AVR-1802. I listen to about 50/50 music/home theater. My living room is about 15X20 with a high ceiling.
I am down to the LSI15's or the RTI 12's, both available as refurb on Polk Audio's Ebay site- that's where I bought the Monitor systems for the "kids." It's clear from reading the posts that I need a hefty amp to drive the LSI15's. And it looks like even the RTI12's would benefit as well- so I'm pretty much convinced I'll get an amp either way- such as the Emotiva XPA-5.
If money were no object, I'd probably go all LSI based on what I know (front soundstage only now- will move R50's to the rear for now). I'm trying to figure out where the "break points" are in spending vs. sound.
1. Use the CSI 5 with LSI 15's ??
Here's the issue for me- is the LSIc the only center channel speaker option if I go to the LSI15's? It seems to be nearly $1000, i.e. twice the Polk Ebay store price of one LSI15!! Could I use a CSI5 instead? The Polk writeup for the CSI5 claims that it is "timbre-matched" to all Polk series. Yet I've read a lot about how the LSI series has a different timbre from the RTI series.
I am not an audiophile (yet- LOL). But I have a strong musical background and a very discriminating ear. Would I be terribly disappointed that I didn't spend another $500 to get the LSI center? Seems like the law of diminishing returns to me...
2. Are the RTI12's too bright for a music lover?
I've read a number of posts suggesting that the RTI12's are on the bright side. I'm not clear whether this mellows out after break-in or if they are just plain fatiguing to listen to. For example, would they do a poor job of rendering finger-style guitar or other music with subtlety? I ask because since they are discontinued there is no way to listen in advance. But I've seen other reviews from music lovers that think the are just detailed enough without being too bright. I'm even wondering if this difference of opinion might be a result of whether they are using a power amp or not.
3. How would you compare the bass response of the LSI15 to the RTI12?
The RTI's have three bass drivers and everyone reports that they do a great job with tight mid-bass, and most recommend a subwoofer for the very low end. The LSI15's are typically described as smooth and consistent performance across the spectrum- some difference of opinion as to whether a subwoofer is needed in both cases. Would one or the other be in greater need of a beefy subwoofer? Trying to anticipate how big a subwoofer budget might be needed in each case?
I'm sorry for the long post - Thank you for any suggestions or insight you can offer into these trade-offs.

Recchia Sends Seahawks Past Pride, 3-2
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 09/29/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Michael Recchia's first career goal with three seconds remaining in regulation lifted UNCW past Hofstra, 3-2, in Colonial Athletic Association soccer action Saturday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.
The win pushed UNCW's record to 4-5-1 overall and evened the Seahawks conference mark at 1-1. The Pride, meanwhile, had brief two-game winning streak halted with the setback and dropped to 6-3-1 and 0-2 in the league.
On the winning goal, sophomore Jamie Dell took possession on the right flank for UNCW and beat his defender to the end line. He cut back and found Recchia unmarked seven yards out. Recchia's first shot was turned aside by HU goalkeeper Adam Janowski, but Recchia jumped on the rebound and knocked home the difference maker.
It was UNCW's second game decided in the waning seconds this season after falling to Binghamton, 3-2, with one second remaining earlier this season at the Hilton Garden Inn Classic.
The Seahawks opened the scoring in the 16th minute when sophomore defender Jacob VanCompernolle headed home his second goal of the season off a long serve by junior Michael Parrish. Janowski came off his line looking to catch the ball, but VanCompernolle was able to redirect the ball inside the far post for the early lead.
Hofstra was able to drawn even in the 69th minute on Chris Griebsch's fourth goal of the season. A UNCW defender pulled down a Pride attackedrsetting up a free kick from 23 yards out on the right side. Griebsch tucked his free kick just under the crossbar for the tying goal.
Freshman Nathaniel Goodwin restored UNCW's lead at 2-1 with his second goal of the season. Senior Etienne Boulanger sent a cross from the right sideline into the penalty area where Goodwin volleyed home the go-ahead goal at the 82:03 mark.
The Seahawks would be victimized again on a set piece by the Pride in the 87th minute. Shaun Foster was able to redirect a free kick from the left side by Joseph Holland past UNCW goalkeeper Sam Williams. It was Foster's second goal of the season.
UNCW owned an 18-9 advantage in shots and both teams registered four corner kicks apiece.
Janowski finished with four saves while Williams made two stops.
Next up for the Seahawks will be a road test at William & Mary on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m.

We've had many discussions here about the hiring process, with great contributions from those who do the interviewing/hiring and those who have been through the process. Here's an interesting article that suggests that most organizations are doing it wrong.
Why interviews are a lousy way to judge candidates
I must say though that while the writer has pinpointed a problem, I'm not big on his solution of trying to make the process more measurable.... managers are consistently overconfident in their ability to identify the best candidates using a job interview. We cling to the fanciful notion that we can perfectly predict future job performance, despite overwhelming evidence against it. We all want to believe that we are good judges of character, yet we do not bother to collect the evidence we would need to test that belief. Rather, we rely on gut intuitions about whom to hire.

Place Sofa is Jasper Morrison's interpretation of what is now a modern classic sofa type: a low lounge sofa with a decidedly horizontal thrust. With carefully chosen proportions, much comfort and no decorative frills, Place Sofa offers the key features in the purest of condensed form. Voluminous, slightly rounded cushions with soft fabric or leather covers invite you to lounge on Place Sofa, and the high-grade inner workings ensure enduring comfortable seating. Thanks to its modular structure, the Place Sofa's shape can be defined personally and changed at any time. With Place Sofa, Jasper Morrison has successfully coupled the typical informal feel of this type of sofa with highly precise finishing and great expressive clarity, and thus renewed the typology firmly in line with his philosophy of supernormal design.
The Vitra Home Collection is not an interior design system or a homogeneous product line which promotes a uniform style. Rather, Vitra considers the furnishing of one's home as a process of collage - a gradual assemblage of products and objects. Not to be confused with coincidental accumulation of things, this process is a conscious arrangement that grows and changes with regard to both content and style, according to the owner's individual preferences and circumstances.

There are other products that provide collaboration, but few integrate as seamlessly with a company's existing IT investments just as Office, Active Directory, Windows 7/Vista/XP, or SQL Server has, thus making the deployment process rather palatable to the IT department and workers within a company.
This article by Peter Ward, author of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 End User Guide: Business Performance Enhancement, outlines what SharePoint is not, what is special about SharePoint and why there is considerable value in using this technology, and the User Requirement Challenges that a deployment will cause.Read Microsoft Sharepoint 2010: Rules for End User Deployment in full
SharePoint Books
Packt have truly established themselves as a leading publisher in SharePoint books, here is a quick round-up of Packt's SharePoint titles:
An Overview of Microsoft Sure Step
Delivering business solutions is more than just product play. Software is often viewed as the enabler; however, the key to success is how the solution is implemented and how the implementations are managed. With this as the background, Microsoft has developed Sure Step as the full lifecycle methodology for the Microsoft Dynamics solutions portfolio. In this article, we introduce the concept of Methodology and its importance in the selection and implementation of ERP/CRM solutions. A faulty selection process can derail any solution deployment, and it is important for the readers to understand what they can do to prevent this.
In this article by Chandru Shankar and Vincent Bellefroid, authors of Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step, we will introduce the concepts and definitions. We will also provide an overview of Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step, and the different aspects of the methodology that help both the implementer and the customer.Read An Overview of Microsoft Sure Step in full
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administration: Monitoring and Reporting
This article on Monitoring and Reporting covers recipes involving the different tools in SharePoint 2010 that assist the administrator in managing SharePoint. These tools are critical to knowing how the SharePoint 2010 installation operates. The recipes show how to manage the tools.
In this article by Peter Serzo, author of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administration Cookbook, we will cover:
- Accessing the SharePoint 2010 logging database
- Configuring what gets logged
- Editing rule definitions in the health analyzer
- Viewing web analytics reports
- Troubleshooting with correlation IDs
- Enabling the Developer Dashboard
FAQs on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 High Availability
The term High Availability means that the servers or systems that host or run the business-critical applications should be highly available - 24 X 7 and 99.99% up time. As the word itself defines how important it is to make these applications and data available for end-users as well as business users, if this data is not available for a short time, it will be a big problem for both sets of users. Imagine a bank spread across the country and having a huge customer base faces a situation when, their server crashes! If the bank relies only on backups, then it might end up losing approximately 15 to 30 minutes of data, depending on the backup strategy. Now the HA options related to SQL Server such as Clustering, Replication, Log Shipping, and Database Mirroring will help overcome this situation.
In this article, we will find answers to the frequently asked questions on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 High Availability.Read FAQs on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 High Availability in full
Microsoft Forefront UAG: Preparing, Creating, and Publishing an HTTPS Trunk
Just as we like to organize everything in life into containers, UAG also does the same. As a user of Microsoft products, you are probably used to files or programs that are grouped together within folders and which are stored on hard drives (or hard drive partitions). With UAG, there's one little difference, the primary organizational units are called "Trunks", and in those we create (or "publish") applications, and we can also group them in folders too.
In the previous article by Erez Ben-Ari and Ran Dolev, authors of the book Microsoft Forefront UAG 2010 Administrator's Handbook, we discussed UAG's building blocks—Trunks and Applications.
In this article we will see how to prepare, create and publish an HTTPS Trunk.Read Microsoft Forefront UAG: Preparing, Creating, and Publishing an HTTPS Trunk in full

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A sensational effort, the 2006 Mouton Rothschild exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a classic Mouton perfume of creme de cassis, flowers, blueberries, and only a hint of oak... I think this has worked fabulously well with the cassis quality fruit they get from their Cabernet Sauvignon. The..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beauty, the opaque dense purple-colored 1995 exhibits jammy cassis, vanillin, and minerals in its fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with exceptional purity, superb concentration, and a long, intense, ripe, 40-second finish, this is a magnificent example of Latour. As..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark chocolate and mocha flavors, very dark and intense, this is a big, concentrated wine, flavored with bitter cherries and structured. Certainly a great Cheval Blanc."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight, quintessentially elegant style of Lafite... with black currants, plums, and crushed..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "...this is one of the wines of the vintage and (along with Pavie) among the finest wines from the Right Bank. It possesses a deep purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, blackberries, wet stones, and wonderfully perfumed floral notes. When the wine hits the palate, it exhibits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2009 Leoville Las Cases may be the most open-knit and forward Las Cases I have tasted to date. Analytically, it is high in tannin and the alcohol is 13.8%, nearly a record at this estate. This blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc was showing brilliantly at the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A luscious Lafite that is silky and elegant with layers of wonderful violet, berry, cherry and chocolate flavors. It's full-bodied, with racy, refined tannins and good length."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Austere wine, its tannins pushing forward to give power and structure. It is dense, concentrated, with layer upon layer of bitter coffee and dark fruit flavors, acidity and sweet tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the handful of candidates for wine of the vintage is the 2006 Ausone. In fact, while tasting it, I was thinking, is there any estate in Bordeaux that, since 1998, has made as many legendary wines as proprietor Alain Vauthier has at his beloved Ausone? Boasting an inky/blue/purple color as..

Evening Readingby Jeff Mattas, Feb 07, 2011 5:00pm PST
This past weekend, I cozied up with Stacking, a curious little puzzle-based adventure game from the folks over at Double Fine. While I'm only approaching the halfway point to completion, and will reserve judgment until I've finished, the overall experience has gotten me thinking. In addition to being a game whose presentational attributes are the very definition of the word "charming," the core gameplay seems quite adept at doing something I've been hoping to see for a while: reinvent the classic adventure game.
What's so impressive is that the core attributes that make an adventure game what it is (exploration and puzzle-solving) are still there, but they're presented in new ways that really encourage experimentation. The trial-and-error methodology that seems inescapable in puzzle-driven adventures is presented in a way that's far more entertaining than traditional adventures that simply encourage players to combine everything in their inventories until something works. Stacking still requires some of this puzzle-solving experimentation, but manages to make it much less annoying than usual. In fact, it's pretty fun.
Naturally, that gets me thinking about other tried-and-true genres and gameplay mechanics that are in desperate need of makeovers. Any ideas?
And, in other news:

Social media has greatly changed communication over the past few years. Instead of saying, "Call me!", a more common phrase these days is "Facebook me!" Likewise, more people are getting their news from the internet rather than the newspaper. In fact Facebook is the information source of choice for the "technology generation". Even when conducting a search on Facebook you get internet Search results at the bottom of the page as well. So when you decide to sell your house, why not use websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and LinkedIn to help reach buyers?
These social networking websites provide a valuable resource to sellers. Through Facebook, you can list your house and promote the listing with Facebook advertising. You can also share the posting with your friends, post pictures, videos, and notes highlighting the positive aspects of your house utilizing viral marketing for your listing.
Similarly, on Twitter, you can publish the listing via a tweet informing millions of potential buyers about the price and location of your house with a single click. You can further utilize viral marketing with your Tweets by including some of your favorite and most interesting facts about the house. You can target a specific areas and advertise your open house with times and dates.
LinkedIn is a social network for business professionals that also supports paid advertising. You can list your house on the linkedin advertising network and pay only for the clicks that you receive. You can also post the listing on your Linkedin status, share with your connections and email your linkedin contacts about the listing. If you have your house listed on the MLS directory you can also post that listing to your Linkedin account.
With Youtube you can actually let interested buyers take a 360 virtual tour of your house. You can highlight the best features of your house increasing the opportunity for a sale. Sharing the Youtube video on all four of these networks will help you appear in Google search results.
These sites can be especially useful when targeting young buyers. As the "technology generation" grows up, more people are turning to their favorite social network to help them find information, including looking for places to live. If your house is listed on the social network that your potential buyers are using, then you widen your advertising reach, and therefore increase your chances of selling your house in a reasonable time frame.
If you would like to use social media to sell you home quickly contact us today!

Lydia Mendoza has been called the first lady of Tejano and Conjunto Music and Wednesday the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a forever stamp in her honor as part of a music legends series.
La alondra de la frontera (the lark of the border) was honored at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on the West Side.
Mendoza was born to a musical family in Houston in 1916 and she progressed in her talents, eventually mastering the 12-string guitar.
Mendoza is one of several pioneering musicians being honored in the postal services' Music Icon stamp series.
The Senate has passed a bill that prohibits the state's transportation department from turning free roads into toll roads, but the "do-or-die" deadline is approaching fast for it to clear the House in time.
Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, authored Senate Bill 1029, which addresses the conversion of existing state roads into tollways. She said there are several highways throughout the state being eyed for this type of tolling, one of which is Hwy. 281.
After making its way through the Texas House, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee approved a bill that allows students and faculty to carry a handgun to class.
Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, the chair of the committee, told those registered to speak against the campus-carry bill that if this version of the bill didn't make it out of his committee, lawmakers will likely find a way to pass a similar campus-carry bill at another time.

Texas is making headlines in the tech industry as a report released today by the TechAmerica Foundation indicated that Texas is now second only to California in the number of high-tech jobs.
The latest edition of Cyberstates, a comprehensive state-by-state look at tech employment, wages, and other key economic factors state-by-state, said Texas continues to be a leading cyber state by most tech industry metrics, including employment, payroll, and establishments.
For over 15 years, Ethel has been on the edge of chamber music - performing with rockers, on soundtracks, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in the Grand Canyon.
Friday evening is a chance to hear the string quartet live and in person, along with Native American flutist Robert Mirabal.
"It's beautiful stuff," quips Dorothy Lawson, artistic director and cellist of Ethel. "There's a profound sense of sinking into an altered space when we perform this program."
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee hearing was to be one of the last phases for a bill that would set up the state's first exoneration commission to examine past wrongful convictions to determine what went wrong.
The hearing began with Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, stating she didn't feel the Tim Cole Exoneration Commission was a needed item, and then it escalated from there.
May is National Preservation Month, and The National Trust for Historic Preservation is asking communities to think of creative ways to engage the public.
San Antonio is doing that with a seminar this weekend on Historic House Museums.
The National Trust has several suggestions for how to be a preservationist, such as:
Conservation Society president Nancy Avellar said they are trying to help some of the museums move into the 21st Century.
Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, a house leader on the Legislative Budget Board, said the joint committee has hit snags in several areas, but has reached a tentative agreement on some key spending issues in regard to Senate Bill 1, the state budget bill.
"Hopefully we will have an agreement sometime today on public education," Pitts said, adding that they were discussing $3.2 billion for public education would be taken from the state general revenue and property tax appraisals.
Voters cast their ballots over the weekend and now that the city elections are over - except for two June runoffs in Districts 5 and 8 - the direction of policies in San Antonio will largely continue uninterrupted.
This is mostly to do with the fact that voters chose candidates like Mayor Julián Castro, District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal and District 4 Councilman Rey Saldaña, who all support progressive issues.

Promotional party items are key tools for companies hosting a grand product launch or a cause-oriented campaign. Decorate an entire trade show floor, a ballroom, or even a space as intimate as a chef's table with logo imprinted party items. The effort will not go unnoticed if every column, table, or even stirrer is fitted with your company's motifs. Guests will surely be awed and impressed. Then, getting them on board with your venture becomes easier. Their support is in the bag, as they say, thanks to your promotional party items with logo.
If you haven't employed party items with logo for any event, you may have a few questions. What kinds of personalized party items will appeal to customers or potential benefactors? Which ones will benefit your cause the most? How much will customized party merchandise cost? Don't worry. Branders.com's collection of promotional products is comprised of only the lowest-priced but very effective giveaways.
Our catalog consists of the essentials for any event as well as a few extras. We have customizable table covers, drinking glasses, coasters, table napkins, ribbons, banners, and utensils, all fully customizable. Don't fret too much over what model or color or size, or even how many units will do. Just sign up, scour our inventory, and you will find all of our items worth purchasing.
Even with the cheap rates, we still provide comprehensive support each time you order. Avail of free samples and expect on-time shipment. That's 100% satisfaction all the way.
While promotional party items may seem trivial as marketing tools, remember that all the marketing products that carry your logo, however frivolous, represent your company. So be sure to always send out only the best. Branders.com has just that.

Let's see who did really dumb shit this past weekend.
Oklahoma State - Waaaa Waaaa Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Season over, queers. Look at you, Iowa State. Dick swingin giant killers. Let's get a round of pussy for those lovable bunch of future K-Mart managers. In Obesity State's defense, they were mourning the loss of some basketball coaches that died in a plane wreck only a day before this game happened. So in honor of Kurt Budke and Miranda Serna, we'll momentarily pretend that women's basketball is a real sport. And you think Spooky doesn't have heart. Nonsense.
Clemson - Ahhhhhhh. The sweet stench of rotting failure. Never trust the ACC. Taj Boyd showed us that he's not quite there yet and the rest of the team showed us they're fucking terrible. I'm sure Marmalard Rivers broke the record for most white guy fist pumps completed in one minute after he saw the final score of this game. Then in another act of celebration...murdered his neighbor's dog. This has nothing to do with this game, but I just cannot get enough of this picture. FakeNeck Beamer jiggles his titty chin in approval of this loss.
Arizona - I know the entire state cares more about things like stealing land from Native Americans, cacti and not dying from heat stroke than they do about football, but come on! DickRod as your coach? Did you learn nothing from Michigan? I guess it doesn't matter that much since there aren't actually any real Arizona Wildcat fans out there...unless you count Luke Walton. He seems gay enough to still keep up with Arizona sports. My advice is that if there are any actual Wildcat fans out there that matter, they should cut out the buttholes in all of their jeans to make it easier. You can fight it all you want but the scabby midget dick of Rich Rodriguez will penetrate your anus at some point.
Georgia fans - Mark Richt is keeping his job. You can get the noose back out now. That is all.
Oregon - What the fuck! You fuckin handle Stanford, look almost like a National Title contender, start creeping back into the conversation, then lose to Matt Barkley. Ya know I spermed the inside of my boxer shorts watching The Erection King work Oregon's shaft on Saturday. The SEC is fuckin terrible. lol They reek of egg farts and spoiled oatmeal. If you want to know exactly what that smells like, you just need to catch a whiff of JB's last sexual partner. She has the body of Kathy Bates and a face like Dave Grohl.
Baylor - RG3 is a God damn stud. This is why the Heisman is stupid. Insane stats, Big-12 schedule, plays for a ranked team and not a single mention of the Heisman. Why should RG3 be penalized because the rest of Baylor sucks? I'm not saying he should win it, but I definitely think he deserves an invite. His stats are just as good as the other QBs getting fluffed every 12 seconds. I digress...but let's put our hands together for not one, but TWO Oklafatass schools sucking the hairy under tit of the upset. Hooray, Baylor. Now when people talk about the Bears they don't have to talk about basketball players murdering each other and Bill Brasky playing center for the women's team. Strike that last comment from the record. We've pretended long enough to care about women's basketball.
Ark-Kansas - They actually control their own destiny to play in the title game. Wonderful. The only question is how many more jokes can I make about racism, pedophilia, incest and poverty? Jesus, this is fucking exhausting. Razorback...even the team name sounds like a hillbilly rape move. "Got that skank smoked on Drain-O bombs last night and gave her the razorback on my rape rack. Once I realized she wasn't dead, I lost my boner so I had to finish up with my sister. Took her and the pet goat to get me hard again. Don't worry...I kept the blood." Fuck...that was even a little too raunchy for me. After football games the downtown scene HAS to be like Remember The Titans, right?
Lee Corso - This is the day we've been waiting for. The day Lee Corso finally loses it completely. I was hoping for something more along the lines of publicly shitting or pissing himself like a newborn, or getting completely nude during the middle of a broadcast while swinging a pillowcase full of dog shit at Chris Fowler...but a good ol' fashioned home cooked "fuck" will do just fine. I can think of nothing more majestic than Corso shouting "Fuck It!" on national television. Not even a bald eagle wearing a head band ripping off thousands of M-16 rounds would be more American. I would even argue Joey Chestnut hoarking down 65 hotdogs in 12 minutes isn't even in the same stratosphere. Lee Corso is my new Captain America. From now on, Corso should wear a thong cut from the cloth of the American flag.
We're closing in on the end of the college football season, my friends. Unfortunately with the end of college football comes the beginning of the holiday season. And with the holiday season comes one of the most fucking annoying things ever. The Salvation Army bell ringer standing outside every grocery store. Got to experience that shit this evening while leaving Kroger. What a pleasant fucking surprise that was...RING RING RING RING RING RING RING! SON OF A BITCH!!! Put that God damn bell away before I make you fucking eat it. Yes, I see you. You are a giant man standing next to an even more giant red thing full of money. And you're there every fucking year at the same time. And you smell like Queen Latifah's dirty clothes hamper. Give it a rest, jackass because as long as you're clamoring that bell you're getting shit from me. Happy Packers getting gang raped by Lions day, everyone.

Hi! My name is Angela, and I teach private piano, voice, and theory lessons. I love teaching, and have taught many ages (4 to 92) and ability levels (novice to advanced). I am a dependable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic teacher. I offer lessons for 30, 45, or 60-minute weekly sessions in my music studio. I do not offer bi-weekly lessons or lessons in the student's home.
I started playing piano at age seven when my mother enrolled me in lessons. I have been playing ever since, and I absolutely love it. I began teaching private piano lessons in 2004, and have taught many thousands of lessons since that time. I have experience accompanying choirs, instrumentalists, and vocalists, as well as playing as a soloist in various piano competitions and recitals. I recently began taking lessons in jazz piano, a genre I never learned much about. I believe it is never too late to learn something new, and I am excited to start this new chapter of my musical life and to use this new knowledge to enhance my own teaching.
My love of singing began in my freshman year of high school, when I joined the choir. It was a life-changing experience, and inspired me to make music my career. I immediately began taking private voice lessons, and became a voice teacher myself by 2005. While in college, I was presented with many opportunities to learn and grow, both as a musician and as a teacher. I sang in several different collegiate choirs, and was nominated to be in the all-collegiate choir in 2007. I also passed yearly auditions to sing in Voices Only, Lindenwood's most advanced vocal group. During my junior and senior years at Lindenwood, I worked as the assistant director of Voices Only. This was a wonderful opportunity, and I learned so much while leading warm-ups every day, running sectionals on a weekly basis, directing the group during rehearsals and even during performances when the director was away. I currently sing in the Saint Louis Harmony Chorus, one of the top 25 women's barbershop choruses in the world. I am on the music faculty of the chorus, and am also the baritone section leader. I also sing in an award-winning barbershop quartet called Executive Sweets.
*** Lesson Details ***
Making music is a skill which can bring lifelong joy to the musician as well as everyone around them. While I can easily ensure that my students enjoy music-making while they are taking lessons, my ultimate goal is that students continue to want to make music throughout their entire life, even after they stop taking lessons. I firmly believe that my job as a teacher is to train my students to be independent and self-sufficient musicians, musicians who do not need to take piano lessons for the rest of their life. My ultimate goal with each student is that one day I can tell them that they don't need me anymore. Many teachers teach by rote, playing a passage to a student and then having the student play it back. Though this method is helpful in some situations, students who are taught in this manner often find that they are only able to play the songs taught to them in lessons, and that to learn a new song they must have a teacher by their side showing them how the song goes. In my lessons, however, students are taught to learn their own music though sight-reading, ear-training, music theory, and listening to and critiquing their own playing. Over time, this allows the student more and more freedom to make music without a teacher.
In my piano lessons I use the Faber's fabulous Piano Adventures series. In my opinion, they are the best books on the market, emphasizing reading by intervals as opposed to memorizing note names. This method minimizes student frustration while also decreasing the amount of time it takes a student to read a new song. Piano Adventures also focuses on developing sight reading and ear training skills, something most developing musicians don't study until college-level music courses. All of my piano students have the opportunity to play "fun songs," that is, songs which may not be in their regular lesson books, but which the student truly has the desire to learn. These extra songs are always optional for the student, and the choice of song is always up to the student. Fun songs can be of any genre: Classical (Für Elise, Clair de Lune, Moonlight Sonata), Jazz (Linus and Lucy, The Pink Panther, The Entertainer), Popular (Clocks, Don�t Stop Believin�, Great Balls of Fire), or any song that suits the student�s interest (songs from video games, favorite TV shows or movies, folk tunes, etc). The fun song will typically be more challenging than the rest of the student�s pieces, and helps to retain student interest and, when learned, is something the student can really be proud of accomplishing.
Vocal students are not required to purchase a curriculum for voice lessons, as lessons are based around the fundamentals of singing (breath support, head/chest voice, tone, and diction) and focused on each student�s desired repertoire. Students will be working on two songs at any given time. The first song is entirely of the student�s choosing, while the other will be chosen by the student from the vast stores of generally accepted vocal repertoire. This second song can be an aria, art song, or Broadway piece, and the student may choose from a variety of languages (English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, and Latin) in which to sing. Each lesson also includes warm-ups tailored to each student to develop technique and expand range, and a short theory or ear training session. Depending on student interest, these lessons may also include work on improvisation, composing, and musical dictation.
*** Studio Equipment ***
My home is a split-level, with my private living area above and my music studio below. There is a waiting area just outside the music studio, as well as a half-bath specifically designated for students and parents. The studio itself contains a piano and organ, my personal music library, and additional seating for parents. There is a full-length mirror for vocal students to watch their performance skills grow, and a gumball machine for when younger students have an exceptionally good lesson.

My name is James, and I love music. Music is my "aeroplane". It's the window to my world. Everything I do involves music: learning it, playing it, listening to it, creating it, studying it. I think it is safe to say that music is my life's passion. If you have a passion for music, or even just a curiosity, I'd love to be the one to help you explore the magical world of music!
I've been playing for about 20 years now, and I've had almost every experience that one can have playing the piano: playing at a high competition level, public performances, both solo and ensemble, lots of private instruction. My personal training is in classical piano, however I believe that all genres possess the potential to be an instrument of learning and enjoyment, AT THE SAME TIME! And I'd love to show you how!
Recently, I completed my sophomore leve classes at a local college studying music under a wonderful and passionate professor. This experience has only helped to solidify my love of musical arts. During my freshman year of studies, I was awarded Music Student of the Year (2008-2009) by the head of the music department on my campus. And I have completed my associate level music requirements at the end of spring term 2010. Ever since, I have been building my student base and honing my teaching skills.

I have an NAD2200, which I was told on this forum isn't common ground. So, I built an AI-1. The NAD is solid, but I'd like to go back to the plain cable. You loose something with the transformer.
From what I can tell, wheather an amp is common ground or not is never published. Does anyone know if the other NAD amps 2600, 2700, 2400, c270, etc.. are common ground? I'm worried it might be a design feature of NAD in all their amps.
Are 99.9% of the amps out there common ground? Or is non-common ground fairly common. (no pun intended)
