Sunday BBQ: 16-Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breast
All too often, chicken breast isn't marinated and winds up tasting flavorless. Not in this recipe: Chicken gets a wake-up call with a rub that calls for 16 different spices, including ginger, allspice, and garlic. It's topped with a peppery vinegar sauce and served with green onion slaw. To fire up the grill and make this super flavorful chicken, read more.

Could someone with a previous model answer a few questions:
How heavy is the case? Is exercising an issue?
Any problems with heat?
On a side note: could the smaller opening for the clickwheel be protection for the "seam" around the wheel?
Posted by thewagon on September 17, 2004 at 2:42 AM (PST)
That looks like a v.nice case indeed - I hope that everythingipod.co.uk will be getting them in.

I can't believe no one except me thought about using a MARWARE SportSuit Convertible model for the 1G/2G model on a 4G iPod. It fits perfect and I purchased it right at the Apple Store. The sales idiots swore to me that it wouldn't work on a 4G model and boy were they wrong! It works great and can be found discounted down to $19.00 usd. If you don't believe me take your 4G iPod with you and check it out for yourself. You won't regret it. And the Griffin iTrip fits perfect on it too! I can't say the same for the 3G version.
God is this Pacific Rim Technologies 4G iShield the ulgiest device i have ever laid eyes on. Trust me, save your money and buy the above mentioned case.
Posted by Mike on September 17, 2004 at 7:50 PM (PST)
It's pretty funny how different people have different tastes. Personally I think the iShield is the best looking case I've ever seen.
Conversely, I'd rather be skewered with blunt bamboo than wrap my precious ipod in all that neoprene and nylon, but that's just me.
Posted by thewagon on September 18, 2004 at 2:56 AM (PST)
Is there any chance that this will fit a 3G 20GB ipod? The reason I ask is because I HATE the idea of not having a clear screen cover, and the only ones with it are the mini and the 4G shields.
Posted by T on September 19, 2004 at 10:38 AM (PST)
T, go have a look on the web site, there is a similar hard case for your 3g pod
Posted by Laurent on September 21, 2004 at 10:19 PM (PST)
check out the 4G cases on [url=http://www.iskin.com]http://www.iskin.com[/url] I have one and it is awesome
Posted by sri on September 23, 2004 at 5:55 AM (PST)
This case may be good, but my experiences with the company have been plain terrrible. Ordered a 3G case in January 2004, was never delivered, they kept telling me that they would be getting new stock, but they never did and in August they refunded my money after many emails and threathening to take legal action. They seem very happy to take your money but not too eager to send you the product. Id stay clear of this company. Buy it from a reseller if you must.
Posted by cdj on September 23, 2004 at 5:06 PM (PST)
I ordered this case based on this review (the update about them improving the clickwheel cutout was very reassuring), and I just found out that it was shipped today, 9/27/04, four days before it was scheduled to ship (would have been nice to receive an e-mail notification, but it may still come later today).
I chose the 4GShield because it's a metal case that allows access to all ports and the clickwheel (Unlike the ipod armour). Also, it makes the ipod look like a giant silver mini, which I was on the fence about buying originally.
I'll follow with a full review once I receive it for anyone who's interested.

I didn't mean to keep anyone in suspense.
Truth is, I expect to receive it tomorrow, 10/1, and I'll post my review then.

I purchased and received this case 9/30/04. As far as the undersized & roughedge clickwheel hole being remedied...I don't see it. Mine case still has a sli
Posted by eyzonla on October 1, 2004 at 7:02 PM (PST)
Sorry -sent the previous post without completing it by mistake. As I was saying...
The case that I received still has a rough edge with a slightly undersized clickwheel hole. Perhaps I received one of the "preremedied" models? These "flaws" are not a major concern as all areas of the clickwheel are still fully accessable, & the ipod is totally functional. Hole in back-not an issue.
Case is very sturdy & well made-will protect the ipod from falls & outside elements. Don't see any potential for the case scratching the ipod as the inside of the case is covered with feltlike material protecting contact points between the case and the ipod. No scratches yet (but it's only been 3-4 days).
As far as excersising with the case... The case is a little heavy, but not too heavy. I'm a runner & don't feel that the weight of the case would hinder anything.
However, the major, major flaw of the case is the clip!!! The one I received, doesn't firmly attach to the case at all. It just freely spins around & around-like it's barely attached! I definatley can't run or attatch it to any belt,waistband, or anything else because it is not firmly attached. It would literally just fall right off! I can't believe this - it's unreal! Perhaps I just got a defective clip? Does anyone else have this same problem? Please let me know. I'm going to call the company about this. The main reason that I purchased this case was to go running with it, & I definately can't do that because it will just fly right off!
Posted by eyzonla on October 3, 2004 at 8:58 AM (PST)
I just received this from thinkdifferentstore.com (very happy with them), but I was not too happy with the product.
The case itself was thankfully light, especially for being made of metal. And it seemed rather well protected inside, little fear of scratches from the iside of the case.
But I had three complaints:
-- The case has an extra peice of foam, not attached to the case, which sits behind the Ipod. It is black like the rest of the foam, with a hole (you see it above in the top picture, trimmed in yellow). Anywho, that foam makes it feel that the case was designed for a different Ipod, and that this was a shim. I have a 20Gig 4G. But worse, even with the shim in, the Ipod swimmed around the case a bit, so that the controls would mis-align with the holes sometimes, and align at other times. The play was small, but still annoying.
Also, the case is closed by a latch with operates mostly by friction, which had me worrying that it would just pop open, although I have no evidence of that.
Also, the screen cover is not clear, rather it is covered by plastic film layers, probably by design. It did not seem to be just protection for shipping, as there were several layers, but the result was that the screeen was hard to read.
I am new to the Ipod Case arket, perhpas I am too picky.
Short answer: I am returning this and getting an exchange.
Posted by Jeffrey Sink on October 4, 2004 at 5:50 AM (PST)
Okay, so I just received my case this morning. Stupid Fedex.
Initial reaction: very well made case with a few flaws.
1. Surprisingly light. I actually weighed the case on a scale (I work in a lab), and the 4G shield weighed 47g without the clip (58g with clip). For comparison, the official Apple case weighed 51g.
2. Solidly built. Very durable considering how light it is. Hinge and door clasp seem very sturdy. I even accidentily dropped the case from waist high with my ipod inside and everything survived wonderfully.
3. Style and design. I must say I was always envious of my friend's mini just because you could hold it and use it without much concern about scratches and nicks. I now feel that way about my ipod. If you like the way the ipod looks in the pictures above, then you'll love the way it looks in person. The cutout for the clickwheel is definitely large enough and has a smooth inward depression around the interior. The screen protector is a very clear, hard plastic separated from the ipod screen by a foam lining. The entire interior of the case is lined with this soft, black foam that does a pretty good job of protecting the ipod from scratches.
Continued on next post due to length restrictions.

I never really get on here much, but i need advise.... I would just post this on Facebook because ihave most of you mama's as a friend :) BUT MIL is on there as well as SIL... sooo you know where this is going...
MIL&SIL stopped by the other day and asked me how i felt about them getting Connor a baby doll for christmas..... I was kind of hesitant but did not want to sound rude so i said, well if they make boy-ish baby dolls then i guess it is ok... well then SIL proceeds to say good because i got him one with a pink stroller.... This is no joke... i was speechless... I just find it odd that out of all the toys they could get him, this is what they choose. MIL says it will make him more sensitive, and nurturing when he is older... I personally dont want him to have a baby doll and stroller... I mean the child has all kinds of stuffed animals, and he has his scout dog... WHY CANT HE JUST NURTURE THOSE?? lol... Im just not sure what i should do.. i just always thought little boys should always grow up playing with trucks and army dolls... not BABY dolls and strollers.. its one thing if he had sisters and they were his sisters toys...but he DOESNT.. I think maybe ill ask them to keep them at their house?? or hide them in a closet and bring them out when we have ltitle girls over... does this make any sense?? lol
I have to say that my DH would be livid if his mom and sister did this if we had a little boy who didn't play with dolls. What does your DH say about it? Maybe he could talk some sense into them. I mean, is your DS going to be excited when he unwraps the gift??
However, that is just really bizarre that out of all the possible toys they could have picked out for your DS, they chose a baby doll with a pink stroller. Personally, I just find baby dolls to be a little creepy in general, and I just think there are much better options out there for toys that would allow him to be sensitive and nurturing, like as you said, stuffed animals or even something like a Dora doll, which I think would be equally appreciated by both genders (they have one in DS's daycare class, and ALL the kids love it).
But yeah, my opinion is that a) they want to get a rise out of you or b) that they are dying to have a little grandaughter/niece in the family. However, if they do/did give it to your son, I wouldn't go to the extreme of hiding it in a closet or anything. Just leave it out and if he takes an interest in it, then it is just one more toy he has to play with, and if he doesn't, it collects dust until you decide to get rid of it.
To go out and purposely by him a pink stroller is not going to make him more sensitive, if it's not in the cards anyway. The doll would be okay for me, but why not let him push the doll in a shopping cart or something..and not try to push the pink too far..
I don't think it matters that they got him a doll, but the pink stroller is ridiculous. That said, it's a doll and some boys like dolls more than others. And some baby dolls end up riding on trucks and crashing into things regardless of who is playing with them. And actually, some strollers end up being truck-holders anyway. My kids like pushing around the toy shopping carts just because they like rolling stuff around.
What kind of doll did they end up geting him?
I wasnt so upset they wanted to get him stroller, just the fact that they wanted to get him a girly one. Why not a white one or blue one?? OR a different toy. Maybe learning toys...SIL is one of those kind of people who just does things to make a point... It annoys me.... Which is why the whole situation annoyed me.
Thanks everyone for all the replys! Sorry to leave you hanging for so long!

Gh will tend to favor gaining weight more than fat loss or I should be more specific..is muscle and bone density gain. THe main mechanism at work with GH is muscle preservation rather than fat loss. When ppl starve or dont eat GH levels seem to rise the highest. I think there is def some missunderstanding about GH being a fat loss agent. Diet is far more important in geting defined than GH.
Another twist with the GH is that with high GH results in higher IGF. Now IGF does tent to burn some fat but it also has the weird ability to make a person insulin resistant, temporarely anyway. When that happens you suppose to starve so adding food will just make you bigger, good for weight gain bad for fat loss.
So far I have not been impressed with the GH for fat loss but I've been impressed with mass and bone gain. The females I've seen take GH all gained muscle mass and increased bone mass and same thing happened in males.
Hope this helps

Incoming Chapter Officers 2001
Carole Goldsmith, Chair
Paul Chenier, Secretary/Treasurer
Ilga Leja, Atlantic Region Representative
Rosemary Haddad, ARLIS/MOQ (Montreal-Ottawa-Quebec)
Cheryl Siegel, ARLIS/NA NW Representative
Lynda Barnett, ARLIS/NA Ontario Representative
Liv Valmestad, Prairie Region Representative
Marilyn Berger, Past Chair
ARLIS/Canada Activities:
Approximately 24 members from across Canada and the U.S. attended the ARLIS/Canada business meeting on March 21, 2000 at the ARLIS/NA annual conference in Pittsburgh. The meeting was chaired by the outgoing Canadian Representative, Marilyn Berger. Carole Goldsmith was introduced as the new ARLIS/NA Canadian Representative, and Chair of ARLIS/Canada. Reports were given from the individual Canadian chapters. Ms. Goldsmith later arranged to have flowers and a card delivered to Marilyn Berger, outgoing Canadian Rep., on behalf of all Canadian members.
An official website for ARLIS/Canada was launched this year by James Rout, fine arts librarian at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta. The website provides links to ARLIS/NA and the individual Canadian Chapters, and provides a conduit for disseminating news and reports from Canadian members. The ARLIS/Canada website may be found at: http://www.banffcentre.ab.ca/library/carlis
The final issue of the Canadian Art Libraries (CARLIS) Newsletter was distributed to Canadian members in June 2000, when the long time editor, Melva Dwyer, decided not to continue publication. The newsletter was first published in 1971 as a CARLIS publication, and served as a valuable source of information on Canadian artists and publications for almost 30 years. After extensive discussion among our members, it was agreed that portions of the newsletter could be mounted on the ARLIS/Canada website.
As incoming Chair, Carole Goldsmith sent a thank you letter to Melva Dwyer, acknowledging her dedication as editor of the CARLIS Newsletter for many years. She also thanked Cheryl Siegel for assisting with production of the newsletter for the past few years.
Carole Goldsmith submitted an article on the history of ARLIS/Canada for a special issue of the ARLIS UK newsletter. The article was published in the ARLIS UK & Ireland News-Sheet Special International Issue, no. 148, 2000. Background information was supplied by Peter Trepanier, National Gallery of Canada Library and Cheryl Siegel, Vancouver Art Gallery Library. Ms. Goldsmith reported on ARLIS/Canada Chapter activities in the August issue of ARLIS/NA Update.
Cyndie Campbell and Sylvie Roy were the winners of the 1999/2000 Melva J. Dwyer Award, for the publication Artists in Canada : a Union List of Artists / Artistes au Canada : une liste collective des dossiers d'artistes. The winners were announced at the ARLIS/NA annual conference in Pittsburgh and presented with the award at the ARLIS/MOQ meeting on May 5 in Montreal. Marilyn Berger gave the presentation at the convocation ceremonies at the annual conference.
Jury members for the 2000/2001 Dwyer Award are Daphné Dufresne, Université du Québec à Montréal; James Rout, Banff Centre for the Arts; and Cheryl Siegel, Vancouver Art Gallery. A call for nominations was posted in November on both carlis-l and arlis-l, and copies of the nomination form were mailed to all Canadian members of ARLIS/NA. The winner will be announced at the 2001 ARLIS/NA annual conference in Los Angeles.
ARLIS/Canada supported two proposals for conference sessions at the ARLIS/NA 2001 conference. One session, proposed by CHIN, would have examined the MetaCollector, a cataloguing tool that allows museums to create metadata for new or existing websites. The other session, co-sponsored by ARLIS/Canada and ARLIS/NA Academic Libraries Division, and proposed by Ray Anne Lockard, was to have been a panel session on the history of art libraries. Unfortunately, neither proposal was accepted by the 2001 Los Angeles conference programming committee.
In September 2000, Jo Beglo, Bibliographer at the National Gallery of Canada Library, issued a call for papers for a research publication on the history of art librarianship in Canada. Editors and contributors from across the country are contributing to the project. The publication will bring together information from published and unpublished documents, and is intended to serve as an authoritative reference source.
ARLIS/Canada and ARLIS/NA NW Chapter received special funding of $500 from ARLIS/NA to support a joint regional meeting in Banff, Alberta. The meeting was originally proposed to take place in fall 2001, but has now been postponed to June 2002, to allow more time for planning. The current Chair of ARLIS/Canada is working closely with Cheryl Siegel (Vancouver Art Gallery) and James Rout (Banff Centre for the Arts) on plans for the regional meeting.
C. Goldsmith, ARLIS/Canada Chair, met with Margaret English, the Chair of ARLIS/NA Ontario, following the mid-year ARLIS/NA Executive Board meeting in Toronto. Ms. Goldsmith prepared reports to be read at the annual fall meetings of ARLIS/NA Ontario and ARLIS/MOQ.
News from the Canadian Chapters and Regions:
All three chapters within Canada developed new web sites over the past year. They may be found at:
ARLIS/MOQ: http://library.concordia.ca/arlismoq
ARLIS/NA NW Chapter: http://www.halcyon.com/hnear/arlisweb/
ARLIS/NA Ontario: http://www.fis.utoronto.ca/people/affiliated/arlisont/
ARLIS/NA Ontario Chapter members gathered last spring for a meeting at the venerable Arts & Letters Club in Toronto. The fall meeting was held on the campus of the University of Toronto, in late October. This 2-day event included a workshop on fundraising and working with a "Friends" group. The Ontario chapter inaugurated a new travel award, and was able to sponsor a member to attend the ARLIS/NA annual conference in Pittsburgh. Funds for the award were raised from an enterprising sale of art monographs to ARLIS/NA members. The Chapter generously donated a basket for the silent auction and $75 toward the welcome party at the Pittsburgh conference.
ARLIS/MOQ also met twice in 2000. The spring meeting was held in May at the Cinémathèque Québécoise in Montreal. Sylvie Roy and Cyndie Campbell, from the National Gallery of Canada Library, were presented with the 1999/2000 Dwyer award for their publication, Artists in Canada : a union list of artists' files/ Artistes au Canada: une liste collective des dossiers d'artistes. The fall meeting took place in November in Quebec City, and included guided tours of the Museum of Quebec, and the Museum of Civilisation. ARLIS/MOQ sponsored a membership in ARLIS/NA, as well as a travel award for a member to attend the Pittsburgh conference. The chapter also generously donated $100 toward the welcome party and a basket for the silent auction.
ARLIS/MOQ received $500 in funding from ARLIS/NA for the Vertical File Collections Project. The chapter intends to publish a report on the state of vertical file collections represented in MOQ, as well as a revised edition of the 1989 Directory of Vertical File Collections on Art & Architecture. The report and directory will be made public on the new chapter website.
Cathy Donaldson, ARLIS/NA NW Chapter Chair, organised a summer picnic and tour of Pilchuk Glass studios. NW Chapter officers met during the summer in Vancouver, to discuss future activities. The chapter plans to hold a meeting in Vancouver in early May 2001, and is working with ARLIS/Canada on the proposed joint regional meeting in Banff. The NW Chapter donated $100 toward the welcome party in Pittsburgh, and has committed funds to support the Banff regional meeting.
NW Chapter members were saddened to learn of the loss of Peter Grewenow, slide curator in the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Washington. Peter was co-chair of fundraising for the 1999 ARLIS/NA annual conference in Vancouver, and will be sadly missed by his friends and colleagues in ARLIS/NA.
ARLIS/Canada members in the Prairies, Pacific and Atlantic regions are working with other libraries and institutions to provide broad access to resources through networking, resource sharing and collaborative ventures.
The Atlantic Scholarly Information Network (ASIN) promotes shared use of library resources in the Atlantic region. Through ASIN, the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design (NSCAD) has formed partnerships with other university libraries to provide reciprocal borrowing privileges to all students and faculty. In Manitoba, Liv Valmestad, at the University of Manitoba, has been forging partnerships with the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Through COPPUL (Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries), faculty and students from participating institutions have access to direct interlibrary loans and reciprocal borrowing privileges. In British Columbia, shared access to databases such as the Art Index and Humanities Index, is provided on behalf of college, institute and university libraries through the provincially funded Electronic Library Network (ELN).
Many university libraries across Canada are participating in the Canadian National Site Licensing Project (CNSLP). This is a federal/provincial project to provide funding for joint access to licensed databases. The Web of Science, one of the first databases licensed under CNSLP agreements, includes the Arts & Humanities Citation Index.

- 21 Fret 4EQ Acoustic Guitar
- Accurate intonation and low action make it a perfect first guitar for kids
How to Tune an Acoustic Guitar:
- The pitch that a guitar string produces is extremely sensitive to changes in the environment, especially when using multiple tunings. A guitar must be tuned at least once before every playing session and more often with hard, aggressive playing
- Tune an acoustic guitar to itself. This method was commonly used before tuners were widely available and simply assumes that a string (usually the highest) is already in tune. Each string is fretted at the location that should produce the same pitch as the next highest string when unfretted
- Use the method given in Step 1 to tune a guitar to the standard EADGBE tuning. We assume that the high E string is already tuned correctly. Tune the B string so it has the same pitch at the fifth fret as the open E string does. Repeat this process for the rest of the strings being sure to use the fourth fret when tuning the G string to the open B string
- Employ a basic battery-powered tuner. This type of tuner is specifically designed for a particular guitar tuning sequence (usually EADGBE). Turn the tuner on and place it as close as possible to the sound hole. Play each open string in turn and tune the string until the indicator shows the string is in tune
- Obtain a chromatic tuner for alternate tunings. These tuners can tune to every note in the chromatic scale and do not require the guitar to use a specific tuning
- Play the harmonic at the 12th fret for increased accuracy in tuning. You can obtain a pure tone that is one octave above the fundamental note by plucking the open string while a finger is resting lightly against it
Package Included:
- 1 x Acoustic Guitar
- 1 x Guitar Bag

Photograph: William Abranowicz At the small worktable in Anna Rabinowicz's sunny Manhattan office, smooth slices of agate—some as small as coins, others as big as dinner plates, in swirling shades of sapphire, rust, and olive—mingle with wrist-thick hunks of faceted crystal, three knobby yellow gourds, and a dried version of Anna's latest muse.
"A neat thing about sea fans," says Anna, 39, who is wearing silver sea-fan-shaped earrings, "is how they move." She imitates the meshlike creature's undulations with her hand. "They're at the whim of the current; they get their nutrients from whatever happens to pass through." She lifts the stainless steel colander/fruit bowl she recently designed based on her sea fan research, its sides veined with silver tendrils. If a sea fan mated with a Rolex, this would be the result. I'm spending today dipping a toe into the ocean of Anna's creative output—and the colander is just one of the creatures in a vast and lively sea. The woman draws, sews, sculpts, and dreams things up as naturally as the rest of us breathe. For her company, RabLabs, she designs coasters, clocks, and picture frames from those pieces of agate, along with handblown-glass napkin rings, amethyst bottle stoppers, and lacquered wooden boxes—and at home, her creative juices just keep on flowing. Over eight hours with Anna, I'll discover that her default thought process works like this: That [sea fan, kangaroo, hunk of quartz, sequined fabric] is fascinating. I must learn all about it and then make something! Next comes studying, sketching, model-making, and finally, the finished product—which might be anything from a letter opener to a medical device to a fetching new cape. When I arrived this morning at Anna's apartment, she told me that a full day lay ahead: We'd go shopping for supplies to create a prototype of a new RabLabs bowl (a mission that would require walking about 40 city blocks), we'd have searching discussions about creativity, and we'd get our hands really dirty. Hey, who ever said innovating was a cakewalk? "I tell my students, 'If it's easy to create, someone has probably already created it,'" says Anna, who teaches product design at Parsons The New School for Design. "Work through the setbacks, and you can make things no one else has." Like the unique items in Anna's home, for example. The light fixture that resembles an upside-down red umbrella. The key ring of plastic doodads she assembled for her 1-year-old, Talia, to teethe on. ("Her body is telling her to bite. She must bite! So I give her these, to keep her from biting me.") The little cloth squares she sewed for Talia and her 3-year-old brother, Izzy, to sleep with—they're soft and worn, and hand-embroidered with trees and abstract whorls and the babies' initials. "I cut them from my husband's old T-shirts," says Anna, whose husband, Aden Fine, is a lawyer for the ACLU. Even Anna's home is an Anna original: Three years ago, she and Aden bought a dim studio in a former sewing factory, then gut-renovated the space into a snug two-bedroom nest, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a kitchen bedecked in vintage red tiles. Anna's mother, Lisa, arrives to take Talia to baby dance class just as Anna is describing her collaborations with New York's Hospital for Special Surgery. "My dad made surgical instruments," says Anna, who has helped create an artificial knee and an assistive device for people recovering from elbow surgery. "He was a pediatric ophthalmologist and surgeon. He taught me how to sew and solder." "She has her father's hand-eye coordination," Lisa chimes in. "And such fine-motor control." "Thank you," Anna says, looking moved. She pulls out her sewing kit from the 1890s—her father, who died in 2001, bought it at an antiques market. "Look at all these crazy needles," she says. There are thick needles, teeny needles, needles that look like fish hooks. "I sew by hand," she tells me, "so the project will be imbued with my love." Next: What you can make with four packs of clay, 50 pounds of Brazilian crystal, and a Hall & Oates record. From the February 2011 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Review: Planning Programs for Adult Learners: A Practical Guide for Educators, Trainers, and Staff Developers, 2nd Edition
User Review - GoodreadsMore of a reference than a read through, Caffarella supports a multi-layered, non-linear yet comprehensive approach to program planning. Also has a number of important worksheets/training sheets to use. Best to skim through when actually planning an event.

When with liberal friends I get tired of the constant theme of how liberals are so intelligent..but clearly fooled by Obama and his devious campaign machine. He would end the wars? We are on the verge of invading another country and now that all other excsues are exhausted it will be on a claim of WMDs. He has not ended the US miltary in the ME, if anything he has magnified it many times over and has been stockpiling hardware and manpower for over a year looking for the right lie to make us think its really OK to invade another country.

The Triumph Adventurer, a cruiser style version of the Thunderbird, adds dollop of crass to already glittery, faux concoction. It's an OK motorcycle, thanks mostly to the stupendous Triumph triple engine, but the Triumph Adventurer is about as cool and stylish as purple velvet loon pants. Oh, did someone say they're back in?
1180cc, 108bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 14
Originally more sportster than tourer, Hinckley Triumph's first bike slowly evolved into a fully-fledged tourer with a slightly sporty personality. The main change to the Triumph Trophy 1200 came in 1995 with a much-improved fairing and bodywork, as well as colour matched hard luggage fitted as standard. The Triumph Trophy 1200 is a proper, big (and tall) old school tourer ...
885cc, 70bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 13
The Triumph Legend TT is a slightly more basic, cheaper version of the Triumph Thunderbird which rides fine – slightly better even, truth be told – but only looks good to those who wear sunglasses indoors. Which, in our book, defeats half the point. Unless you love the Triumph Legend TT's black engine etc, we recommend you go for a ...

I just noticed this while monitoring the browser memory usage while it was hosting a Silverlight image control. It appears that if you create a simple image control, with a modest size of 127KB, the total memory used by the browser increases by about 20MB.
Let me describe the scenario and perhaps you can try it out for yourself.
Create a simple Silverlight application and place a TextBlock on the page. The XAML should be similar to the listing below.
1 <UserControl x:Class="ImageControlMemory.Page"
2 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
3 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
4 Width="400" Height="300">
5 <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
6 <TextBlock Text="Is the silverlight image control a memory hog?" />
7 </Grid>
8 </UserControl>
Next bring up a tool that will allow you to monitor memory usage at the process level. I use SysInternals Process Explorer. Navigate to some site (I choose Google). Go back to the Process Explorer tool, find the Browser process and double click it. This will bring up the Process Properties window from which you can see the memory usage of the browser. You should see something similar to the figure below.
Browser memory usage when visiting Google.com.
Note that the memory usage for the browser (FireFox) is about 27MB.
Now navigate to the page that hosts the above Silverlight control. The memory usage in the Process Explorer should have increased by about 13MB. I assume that is a reasonable amount to host Silverlight. The memory usage when hosting this simple Silverlight control is shown in the figure below.
Browser memory usage with Silvelight control containing a text block control.
Now lets add an Image control to the XAML. But before you add the Image control you will need an image. The image I used is about 127KB. Go ahead find an image of similar size, add it to the Silverlight project and make sure it's Build Action is set to Resource. Next add the image control to the XAML. Your new XAML should be similar to the listing below.
7 <Image Source="image.jpg" />
8 </Grid>
9 </UserControl>
Start a new instance of the browser making sure there are no other instances running. Navigate to the google site and then navigate to the page that hosts the second Silverlight control. Now take a look at the browser's memory usage. It should be close to 60MB! The Process Explorer display is shown below.
Browser memory usage with Silvelight control containing an image control.
Let's recap when the browser is displaying a simple site such as google.com the memory usage is about 27MB. Next if we navigate to a site with a Silverlight control containing one TextBlock control the memory usage is about 40MB. Lastly, if we navigate to a site with a Silverlight control containing a TextBlock and an Image control (with a size of 127KB) then the size is around 60MB.
20MB just to display an image of size 127KB. What's going on?

I know there are countless custom Silverlight media players out there, but why not! I decided to roll my own as I thought it would be a good learning experience. There are plenty of interesting issues that need to be considered. How do you handle full screen mode, how about resizing and dragging. What about an animated dashboard that displays a timeline and VCR like buttons. Finally, the control should be written in such a way that you can host one or more play backs videos all by inserting some simple XAML to your page (of course you will need to reference the assembly containing the control).
Take a look at it in action. Below are two instances of the control each loading different videos (be patient it may take a while to buffer the content).
If you are interested in the code for this control then visit my Silverlight Gallery. There you will be able to download the code.
Well it has finally arrived, Silverlight 2 RTM was officially release on Tuesday October 14. ScottGu and Method ~ of ~ failed have great posts on this release. The bits can be downloaded from silverlight.net.
I have been focusing my attentions on Silverlight and have written a considerable number of Silverlight demos. I finally sat down and thought about how I could package all these demos into a single site so that I could share my experiences with other Silverlight developers, hence, the CynotWhyNot Silverlight Demo Gallery.
The site contains two Silverlight controls; the first is used to list all the demos and the second used to host the actual demo. I wanted this site to be easily configurable and decide to use an XML file the drive the site. Basically, the XML lists the available XAPs. The first Silverlight control deserializes this XML into an in memory object. The short description is used to populate the list box. When a menu item is selected a call to a javascript function is made which in turn sets the source attribute of the second Silverlight control.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the details of the gallery application as I will deal with that in a future post. For now just check it here.
Currently I have seven demos installed. Each demo comes with a link where the entire source can be downloaded. Even the code for the gallery application can be downloaded.
I will be updated this gallery with new demos so be sure to visit again.

Why don't you stick around, Junior?
It's getting colder. The flowers are no longer blooming. The leaves on the trees are beginning to change colour. Heck my garden on the balcony is beginning to die. No more basil, no more tomatoes which means no more fresh tomato basil salads. All these are indicators of the demise summer and the arrival of fall. Or are they?
.NET developers have there own ways of doing things and determining changes in the season are not necessarily determined by the means described above. The last user group meeting of the year tells us that summer is here. Likewise the first meeting tells use that fall has arrived and winter is just around the corner.
I just went to the first TVBUG meeting. A great beginning to a what is sure to be a great set of presentations in the up and coming user group sessions.

June 7: American Aquarium
Friday June 7, 2013 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Admission: Free with food donation
RAIN OR SHINE! Inside The Sunrise Theater if Rain.
Visit WebSite of American AquariumAmerican Aquarium's six years as a band have been a fast-moving blur of rubber on road, touring coast to coast through the states and Europe. Most nights of the year are spent far from their Raleigh homes, squinting out from bright stages at a growing legion of passionate fans who've followed them through the release of six albums that reflect a whirlwind of too many whiskey soaked nights, nameless women in smoky bars and fast living while your youth is in full bloom. But what happens when it all stops feeling good?
Burn.Flicker.Die. is what has emerged from that scenario for this group of hard working players. After two years of writing, they journeyed to the legendary recording hub which gave birth to some of the greatest blues, country and rock records of all time: Muscle Shoals/Sheffield, AL. Recorded in eight days under the precise hand of friend/tour buddy Jason Isbell, the record is an aptly named milestone for the band, and their most painstaking effort to date. As a long-time Southern rock artisan, Isbell provided a weathered know-how in producing the record American Aquarium is proudest of. Described as a "consequence record" by vocalist BJ Barham, the band spent that week pushing out everything that's been haunting them: working for six years, watching buzz bands peak and die, and pining for their own payoff.

RAIN OR SHINE! Inside The Sunrise Theater if Rain.
McCormick's musical family set the stage for a career in music. She grew up listening to the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Steely Dan, but her most essential influences were from her family. "Watching and listening to them was life-changing," notes McCormick. She started singing and picked up her first guitar at age 9, delving into a variety of styles, from blues to folk to alt-country, until finding her own personal style. She also plays the lap-steel, mandolin and bass and writes all of her own music. McCormick has won two International Bluegrass Music Association Awards for Recorded Event of the Year in 2006 ("Back To The Well") and again in 2009 ("Proud To Be A Daughter of Bluegrass") — both for a special Daughters of Bluegrass project. This past year, she also landed her song, "Bullseye", in the Emmy-Award nominated film, Prayers for Bobby, featuring Sigourney Weaver.
From pensive and intimate ballads to rock n' roll to indie-pop, she describes her sound today as "unique, well-rounded and genuine." McCormick adds "My songs reflect a deep look inward as well as the world around me. I find inspiration sometimes in my guitar, on a street corner, or even in a lover. The new album will touch on love, family, addiction and the never-ending search for self-understanding."

RAIN OR SHINE! Inside The Sunrise Theater if Rain.
Visit WebSite of Desert NoisesUtah based band Desert Noises has spent the last two years touring the country spreading their melodic beats and electric guitar to eager listeners. The four members that make up Desert Noises have come a long way from playing local Provo shows to performing sold out stadiums, and they do not seem to be slowing down.
Granted, Desert Noises is still opening for larger names, but that does not make the over 1200 crowd any smaller.
Reminiscent of The Lumineers or The Shins, Desert Noises is nostalgic and comfortable. The steady drums will not bring any surprises to the listener, nor will the background bass, but Boyer's guitar chops might surprise some. His creative melodies are unique and classy, with an occasional unrestrained break into a rock 'n' roll solo that characterizes Desert Noises as distinctive and fun.

Friday September 6, 2013 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm

RAIN OR SHINE! Inside The Sunrise Theater if Rain.
Visit WebSite of The RevivalistsSince forming in 2007, The Revivalists have rightfully earned their reputation as the next breakout band from the music capital of New Orleans. The group's blend of soulful, syncopated rock and earnest songwriting comes to life through a meticulously crafted and ever-evolving live performance. In 2011 they were named Best Emerging Artist at Gambit Magazine's Big Easy Awards, and were nominated for Best Rock Act in 2012.
With the seed being planted during jam sessions at Tipitina's Sunday Music Workshops, where drummer Andrew Campanelli and guitarist Zack Feinberg first met, the band found its frontman by pure luck when Feinberg heard David Shaw singing on his Birch Street porch. Fueling the rhythm section, Campanelli's college friend, George Gekas, became the bassist. Feinberg later invited saxophonist Rob Ingraham, the two realizing their incontestable dynamic while taking music classes at Tulane University. After a fortuitous meeting at French Quarter Fest, Ed Williams joined on the pedal steel guitar. The newest addition to The Revivalists' cross-generational rocking goodness comes from multi-instrumentalist Michael Girardot. Having played sporadically with the band since 2009, he has grown into an integral part of their live show.
The Revivalists incessantly tour on the national level, often times supporting giants like Rebirth Brass Band and Galactic. They're also proud to have opened for notable acts JJ Grey & Mofro, Dr. John, and Trombone Shorty. Additionally, they have established themselves as an engaging festival act, gaining notoriety at CMJ (NYC), DeLuna Fest (Florida), Voodoo Music Fest (New Orleans), Hangout Music Festival (Gulf Shores, AL), The Kennedy Center Millennium Stage Series (Washington, DC) and the legendary New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. At the latter they grabbed the attention of Rolling Stone Senior Editor, David Fricke, who later called their performance, "a Crescent City-rhythm spin on jam-band jubilee."

RAIN OR SHINE! Inside The Sunrise Theater if Rain.
Visit WebSite of Sean HayesSean Hayes was born in New York City, raised in North Carolina, and came of musical age in San Francisco. "I remember going to sleep listening to the radio next to my bed," he says, listening to a wide variety of music from the get-go. It was not until I went to college for a year in east Carolina that I heard a banjo and a fiddle and bluegrass." He began to play a mix of traditional old-time music, bluegrass, Irish music, and original songs in Asheville, NC and Charleston, SC.
On a whim, Hayes threw some clothes and a guitar into the back of his friend's car and made his way to San Francisco. "I spent a few years in a great little folk scene in San Francisco with Jolie Holland being the queen bee. She is an amazing talent." Later, he would open tours for Holland. "San Francisco has always felt like a do-it-yourself town," he says, continuing, "There's not a lot of music industry, but there is a lot of spirit."
Hayes cites various influences from the soul, folk, R&B, reggae, and gospel worlds, such as Otis Redding, James Brown, Joni Mitchell, 'The Anthology of American Folk Music,' 'American Primitive, Volumes 1 and 2′ (pre-war gospel compilations), and Nina Simone. He adds, "I also love Bob Marley and his rhythm section. I think of him as more folk than reggae."
Over the years, Hayes' songs have been re-mixed by DJ Mark Farina ("Dream Machine"), covered by folk group The Be Good Tanya's ("A Thousand Tiny Pieces"), been featured on HBO's "Bored to Death", and used in a TV ad campaign for Subaru ("Powerful Stuff"). He sang a duet on Aimee Mann's latest record and has toured with acts such as Ani DiFranco and the Cold War Kids.
His hometown SF Weekly has raved, "Take him anywhere, play him for anyone, and the response is always the same: People want more. They'll write down the name if they don't know it already… an impressive treat in your pocket. Hayes' music succeeds on the tension between warm, resonant soul and dirt-road folk, all laced with a wandering troubadour's coo…. the danceable folk singer… Hayes gets his groove on, laying his buttery, quavering voice over swinging drum patterns, mellifluous piano, and funky horn parts… what sets him apart is his voice — a wounded, wavering tone that sounds like a fragile creature, very crushable."
Meanwhile, the San Francisco Chronicle called him "a singular urban/backwoods sound and vision… extraordinary… Hayes achieves… a certain intimate rapport between the performer and audience…"

RAIN OR SHINE! Inside The Sunrise Theater if Rain.
Archbishops of Blount StreetArchbishops of Blount Street play ska music unlike anyone from Roanoke Rapids to Wilmington, from Greenville to Greensboro. There are ten guys in the band! We have five gentlemen who play fiery horns, five who sing like nightingales, five that lay down a rhythm on top of which only a corpse could keep still and the whole is even greater than the sum of our parts.
Blount (pronounced, 'blunt') Street is a downtown thoroughfare running north and south through Raleigh, North Carolina in the US of A. We named the band Archbishops of Blount Street to give listeners an idea of our geographic origin. Ska, the mother of reggae music, was born in Jamaica and traveled over its half-century of waxing and waning popularity to the rest of the globe. But ska retains its Jamaican sense of rhythm, instrumentation and baudiness.
Some Archbishops are former members of The Jumpstarts, T-Rox & The Skankosaurs, 40 Ozs. and Dread34, all of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill's finest gone-but-not-forgotten purveyors of skank. Archbishops of Blount Street play ska music covering all its major movements including first wave, two-tone and third wave and will soon premiere original music, too. We've played every size of venue from small local bars to major music festivals and have shared the bill with national touring acts like The Pietasters, The Toasters and international stars Bad Manners.
Though we call ourselves a ska band we only build about a third of our set with traditional ska covers. The rest are pulled from five decades of more widely popular music and given the special Archbishops treatment. By our very nature those treatments emerge as identifiably ska, but our mad skills allow us to organically rework each song into a fresh but immediately recognizable take on the original.

Grassroots reggaeton idol Divino cut his teeth amongst the genre's forefathers in the streets of Ponce starting in 1994, laying the foundation for a two-decade-long climb to stardom. Having moved to Puerto Rico's reggaeton capitol city from the Bronx, Divino wasted no time before jumping into the island's bustling music scene. Already a skilled writer and performer, Divino found inspiration in Ponce's booming reggaeton scene. The young artist amassed a strong hometown following, selling his home-made recordings on street corners. It was not long before his hard work paid off in the form of an invitation. Divino made his professional recording debut in 1994, appearing on the compilation disc Non-Stop Reggae Vol. I with the tune "A Donde Voy." Divino's musical career was moved to the back burner, as he watched his younger brother K2 Young rise to local fame alongside DJ Playero and Baby Ranks. Following his brother's tragic death in 1999 Divino was inspired to relight the flame, offering his music his full attention. Baby Ranks, who'd shared a close relationship with his brother, invited Divino to collaborate on a number of tracks. As word spread about Divino's vocal and musical skill, requests for collaboration poured in. He appeared on tracks with genre superstars like Daddy Yankee, Wisin y Yandel and more. His track "Quiero Saber," which appeared on the 2002 release MVP sold an impressive 100,000 in it's first year. MVP Records, an small start-up at the time, offered Divino a deal which he readily accepted. His debut solo record Todo a su Tiempo was released in 2003, featuring the hit single "Se Activaron Los Anormales." The record appeared on Billboard's Top Latin Albums charts the following year at number 63. In time it achieved gold status, earning Divino a nomination for "Best New Artist" at the 2004 Billboard Awards. A string of hit singles followed in the years to come, including "Llégale" and "Pobre Corazon" to name a few, all of which found their way onto Tropical and Urban airplay charts. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
