The NHL Trade Deadline is Monday, Feb. 27, and every fan who regularly takes that day off or spends it clicking "refresh" at work is hoping the Columbus Blue Jackets provide some action. In Rick Nash and Jeff Carter, Columbus has two big fish to move, but with long-term contracts for each the Blue Jackets lack the urgency to move them now when bigger bidding wars may erupt in summer.
Still, even if GM Scott Howson doesn't play ball this weekend, the show must go on. The show, in fact, is already underway with some decent names moving a week prior to the deadline. You can't contend without depth, and each Stanley Cup contender is always on the lookout for more.
Let's take a look at each Western Conference contender as they prepare for the deadline.
Detroit Red Wings
Leading the league and riding a historic home win streak, the Red Wings already struck this week by acquiring Kyle Quincey from Colorado via old friend Steve Yzerman in Tampa Bay. That was their big move, so Ken Holland can probably sleep through Monday if he wants to.
Still Need: Some will talk of goaltending, but Jimmy Howard is back from a broken finger and the Red Wings will happily ride him and hope Joey MacDonald rarely gets the call. ... A depth forward is always nice, so maybe Holland finds a cheap one from a team desperate to get rid of one. ... Pavel Datsyuk's minor knee surgery isn't significant enough to send them searching for reinforcement.
Should Sell: They already sold their 2012 first-round pick for Quincey and they have the roster to make a playoff run, so don't look for them to shed NHL players.
Vancouver Canucks
Last year's Stanley Cup runner-up is a high-scoring team with solid goaltending and great special teams. Why mess with that?
Still Need: Every team would love more than six good defensemen to survive the shot-blocking and predatory charging injuries that come with the playoffs. The Canucks are no different -- they learned that the hard way last spring -- but they might currently be testing Christopher Tanev for that type of insurance; he played five playoff games last year and will need to show he's improved to earn a repeat.
Last Year: They acquired forward Chris Higgins and re-signed him over the summer.
Should Sell: Like the Wings -- whom they play Thursday night -- the Canucks have a full roster and no need to shed anyone. David Booth was a big early-season acquisition, young Cody Hodgson is coming around, and the goaltending tandem is doing its job. People will speculate that goalie Cory Schneider is trade bait, but the return is unlikely to make moving him now worthwhile.
St. Louis Blues
Last year they were sellers, shedding Eric Brewer and Brad Boyes. This year they are one of the West's best. Is such a turnaround for real, or do they need more help to get through the tough West?
Still Need: Offense, somehow, but mostly the Blues need a healthy Alex Steen back. The concussed center provides two-way play and might help a still-struggling powerplay. Between the faltering powerplay, Jamie Langenbrunner's broken foot, Steen's status, and the feeling that Andy McDonald is just a hit away from another concussion, you'd think they could use a playmaking forward. Speculation is they've been eyeing an extra defenseman though ... just like everyone else. The Blues have relatively inexperienced goalies, but contract commitments to both of them mean they will sink or swim with Jaroslav Halak and Brian Elliott.
Should Sell: Chris Stewart and Patrik Berglund have not met expectations this year, but selling them now would be selling low and stupid. If the Blues deal, it should be prospects or picks going out the door as the tough road through the West will require lots of NHL bodies. They still have some nice blueline prospects in the system.
Nashville Predators
The Predators and Blues appear to be on a death match collision course, unless one can catch the Red Wings or allow Chicago to leap them and take the unfortunate 4 vs. 5 intra-Central Division playoff matchup.
Still Need: The Predators have already struck, adding Hal Gill on a rental from Montreal. The offense, as always, could use more help -- along with anything to convince Ryan Suter that this is the place to be. If GM David Poile can't find a longer-term match, the pressure to make a mark this year should move him to rent a pending unrestricted free agent with scoring punch.
Last Year: Acquired Mike Fisher from Ottawa.
Should Sell: Well, Suter is the pending unrestricted free agent that has others drooling. But if it's time for the Predators to grow up and make a real playoff run, they won't get there by renting him out. So they're left to deal prospects, as they did with Blake Geoffrion in the Gill deal.
San Jose Sharks
The perennial bridesmaids still have a contending team and a GM always on the lookout to make them better. Will Doug Wilson find a match?
Still Need: They already boosted forward depth by acquiring Dominic Moore and his luggage tags from the Tampa Bay Lightning. Whether it's bringing Dany Heatley in or shipping Dany Heatley out, Wilson has shown he does not fear the big move. Rumors are hot that they're in on the Rich Nash sweepstakes, which would certainly be a big move ... but why? The Sharks have a strong roster and a decent salary structure right now; any plausible Nash deal would upset that. (See Sharks blog Fear the Fin for more on that issue.)
Should Sell: They gave up a pick in the Moore deal, and any other touch-ups would require the same. If the Nash chase is for real, then a significant forward like Logan Couture or Joe Pavelski is the likely starting cost. Again ... why?
Chicago Blackhawks
Yes, we have six "contenders" listed in the West. It's a deadly conference, OK? The Hawks, recent losers of nine straight, are still around and still a threat to land a home playoff seed.
Still Need: Their goaltending is arguably even shakier than it was in their Stanley Cup year of 2010, but like the Red Wings the Hawks have shown a willingness to carry average netminders behind solid possession teams. Of course, that formula requires quality defensmen, yet John Scott has appeared in 27 games. The Hawks score a lot of goals but give up a lot, too. They should look at the blueline, like every contender. The Hawks have continually tinkered with their perceived weakness at the center position -- trying Patrick Kane here, acquiring Brendan Morrison there. If Jonathan Toews' vague "upper body injury" is more than a day-to-day thing, they may need help there as well.
Should Sell: Like all of these contenders, the Hawks shouldn't be giving up roster players just to pay Paul. Prospects and/or picks it is.

Throughout the pre draft process a few choice defensive tackles have been mocked recurrently to the Panthers in the first round. Largely unmentioned, DT Sylvester Williams, 6'3" 313 lbs., the former Tar Heel has seen his draft stock range fluidly.
Williams, a JUCO transfer, had a fantastic senior year statistically speaking, as UNC's nose tackle: 13.5 Tackles for Loss, and 6.0 sacks, though many pundits are wary of the fact that 7 of his TFL's came in August and September --against weaker competition.
The Panthers woes at defensive tackle have been well documented over the past few seasons, as the Panthers have abstained from addressing the position via the first rounds of the NFL Draft. Perhaps this is the year the front office opts to select a defensive tackle in the first two rounds. Sylvester Williams will be in that conversation; is he worth a first round pick?
When watching Williams it is readily apparent that he has an elite first step. Williams possesses great instincts for reading snap counts, and with lightning quick agility, and his trusty swim move, is often able penetrate into the backfield with ease.
Here is an example versus NC State.
Here Williams (location denoted by the red triangle) will be facing off versus the NCSU RG.
Immediately after the snap, Williams has exploded out of his stance. As the play is a running play, the offensive linemen explode forward towards the DL to clear running lanes. As the RG gets out of his stance, Williams is already inches away. Williams utilizes a swim move to dispatch the RG.
Thanks to his quick first step, and the perfect execution of his swim move, Williams is alone in the backfield before the RB even has the ball.
Like a wolf feasting on a lamb, Williams makes the TFL less than a second after the RB receives the hand off.
It's his great first step, his explosion, which gives Williams the edge over offensive linemen in both the running defense and pass rushing.
Similar to the one above, here is an example of Williams rushing the passer versus Virginia.
Again, Williams will be facing off versus a RG.
Note how much quicker Williams explodes out of his stance than his teammates. Williams is already executing a swim move before any of the other UNC DL have even crossed the line of scrimmage. Up until the point of attack, Williams does a great job of achieving proper pad level.
Successfully using a swim move, Williams has completely beaten the RG, practically knocking him over. Williams now has a relatively clear path to the QB.
Williams accelerates and sacks the QB.
Williams' great first step is also incredibly formidable in short yardage situations. Here is an example from the Virginia game.
On this very important down, 4th down and 1, inside the UNC thirty yard line, leverage, and a quick first step are critical.
Williams explodes out of his stance --before the offensive linemen have even got out of their stances!
Williams achieves great leverage: his shoulder pads are below those of the RG, and his speed has forced the Cavalier RG to erect a standing position. Williams uses a rip move to finish the RG off.
With the RG beaten, Williams is able to tackle the RB, preventing the Cavaliers from picking up the first down, and quite possibly keeping points off of the board.
Williams is also lethal against pulling offensive linemen, with his great first step, possessing the acumen to shoot the gaps presented by the OL.
On this outside sweep play, the Cavaliers will pull the LG --the man lined up overtop Williams. It appears as if the center is supposed to pick up Williams.
Williams gets off of the snap quickly, and with the LG pulling, doesn't have anyone immediately in front of him.
As the center turns to block the Tar Heel Lineman, Williams is already in the back field, closing in on the RB.
Williams makes the first contact on the RB, and pursues him to the sideline.
With his combination of speed and power, Williams also has a fine bull rush too.
Here again Williams is lined up as the DE in the Tar Heels one-gap 3-4 facing off with the NC State RG.
Williams gets off the ball quickly, and with good pad level, and great hand placement, jolts the RG backwards; Williams has won the leverage battle.
Williams puts the RG 'on roller skates' and walks him backwards five yards before shedding the blocker.
With his proper hand placement, Williams is able to disengage from the RG easily, and gets in on the sack.
Williams also employs a spin move, a fairly rare move for an interior rusher.
In this example versus Maryland, Williams gets off of the ball with good pad level.
Williams strikes first with his hands and then begins his spin.
The spin move fools the LG, and Williams is able make it past the lineman. Williams now has a relatively unobstructed path to the QB.
With Williams bearing down on him, the Terps QB has to flee the pocket and throw the ball away.
Similar to Sharrif Floyd, Williams gets into trouble when he doesn't employ proper pad level. Not a glaring issue, sometimes Williams will get out of his stance upright, which in part counteracts the advantage presented by his great first step.
Here is an example from the UNC Virginia Tech game. Williams will be working against the LG.
Once again, Williams exhibits his exceptional first step as he progresses towards the blocker. However, his pad level is poor. Williams shoulder pads are above those of the LG's.
With improper pad level, Williams is brought to a standstill; he's effectively taken out of the play.
Another complaint with Williams' game; Williams seems to rely to heavily on the swim move, which is his go-to move. After so much usage, offensive linemen become ready for it, and know how to combat it. Although, as we saw above, Williams does employ a number of pass rushing moves. With a little instruction, and some polishing, this should become a non-factor.
One of the most important traits for a defensive lineman to possess is a quick first step. As we saw above, if you're quick off of the snap, you're often in position to make a big play. It is very tough to teach a player to come off of the ball faster. LSU Defensive End Sam Montgomery is a solid defensive end; he possesses an array of pass rushing moves, he understands leverage, and he's a good handfighter; but he has an extremely slow first step, and is regularly the last lineman off of the snap. Consequentially, he has dropped into second round consideration. Sylvester Williams has an elite first step. Better than that of Floyd, Richardson, and Jesse Williams; equal or slightly better than Star Lotulelei's.
With his first step, Williams would fit in well as a penetrating 3-technique, but with his size, (313 lbs.) he could be developed as a 1-technique. Williams would be a good fit with the Panthers third down pass rushing defensive line, with Hardy, Johnson, Alexander. If Dwan Edwards returns, Williams would be a great rotational piece; if he doesn't, the Panthers have a sizable hole at 3-technique, as it has been leaked that the Panthers do not plan on tendering Andre Neblett.
As he matures, and works on the consistency of his pad level, Williams has the skill set to become a very good starting defensive tackle, capable of making an impact.
Answering the first question, Sylvester Williams is certainly worthy of a first round pick, and would not be a reach in the middle of the first round, where the Panthers happen to be picking. Should Carolina miss out on Lotulelei and Floyd, Williams would be a fine consolation prize.

Google treats www.yourdomain.com as a seperate website from yourwebsite.com (More information on this issue known as canonicalization).
What should happen is this:
Which automatically reroutes all requests to:
We've had some debate at our office over whether it is better to redirect all http:// traffic to http://www. or take it out and we've decided to go without the www. because if you start using sub domains it starts confusing people when you switch from www.simplestation.com to www.subdomain.simplestation.com.
Additionally www. by the definition of the acronym (world wide web) is redundant since obviously you're browsing the web when you visit a domain with this prefix. Lastly it just adds unnecessary lines to marketing text. Since yourdomain.com is shorter and simpler than www.yourdomain.com why would you still want to add this unnecessary complexity? More information on this is below.
Why is .www deprecated (obsolete)?
Aug 14, 2003 Source: http://no-www.org/
In order to answer this question, we must first recall the definition of WWW: World Wide Web: n. Abbr. WWW 1) The complete set of documents residing on all Internet servers that use the HTTP protocol, accessible to users via a simple point-and-click system. 2) n : a collection of internet sites that offer text and graphics and sound and animation resources through the hypertext transfer protocol. By default, all popular Web browsers assume the HTTP protocol. In doing so, the software prepends the 'http://' onto the requested URL and automatically connect to the HTTP server on port 80. Why then do many servers require their websites to communicate through the www subdomain? Mail servers do not require you to send emails to email@example.com. Likewise, web servers should allow access to their pages though the main domain unless a particular subdomain is required. Succinctly, use of the www subdomain is redundant and time consuming to communicate. The internet, media, and society are all better off without it. Using the links at the top of the page, you may view recently validated domains as well as submit domains for real-time validation.

News: Jay-Z's "BP3" Moves 297K In Week 2, Remains No. 1 Album In The Country
Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 10:38AM
Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 remained the number one album in the country during its second week on store shelves by selling 297,900 copies.
Already bypassing the late Elvis Presley for most number one albums, Hov's latest project has already reached gold status.
Serving as his first Roc Nation debut, Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 held on to the top spot this week moving 297,900 albums. The rapper's 11th number one album has sold a combined total of 774,000 copies in just 14 days. (Sales Wrap)
The rapper recently commented on what it felt like to have his latest album become the top record in the country.
"I feel fantastic, I just had my 11th number one album which beats Elvis, so I'm feeling like 'The King of Pop,' [laughs]," Hov said in an interview last week. (BBC Radio)
Hov also had to struggle through an early leak of his Blueprint 3 album nearly two weeks prior to its official release.
"I may be the most bootlegged artist in history," he said in an interview after learning the news. "It's a preview. I'm excited for people to hear the album. I'm very proud of the work I've down, so enjoy it...My pager is actually ringing right now, so people are probably calling me and telling me they pretty much like it. I can tell by the way my pager rings if a song is good or not. It's really going crazy right now." (MTV)
Despite nearing his 40th birthday this December, Jay recently explained why he could not easily give up his spot atop the rap game.
"I hear it all the time -- 'Yo, he should let the young guys, the new generation of guys come in,'" Jay explained in an interview. "But you don't become the front-runner in music because someone lets you. You have to claim your shoes...If you grow up listening to hip-hop, you love hip-hop and that's the end of it. But if you're a 30 year-old rapper still trying to make music like you're 15, then you're making it narrow. At my age, I can't relate to a 15 year-old. I deal with mature and relevant topics for my age group -- it has to all be based on true emotions. The more diversity and the more mature we make hip-hop, the bigger the net you cast...Kanye is really the father to the next generation -- he's from the school of Q-Tip, and now Drake and Kid Cudi are from the school of 'Ye. And, when you look at Kanye, you have to look at Lil Wayne. I think they're like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James." (Reuters)

MADISON, Wisconsin (WXOW) - State Senator Jennifer Shilling of La Crosse speaks out on the concerns Democrats have as both sides stake out positions on Gov. Scott Walker's 2-year budget as the legislative committee that will vote on changes to the plan begins its review process.
Joint Finance Committee member state Sen. Jennifer Shilling of La Crosse listed numerous concerns Democrats have with the plan at the start of Tuesday's hearing. She says Democrats are particularly concerned with Walker's proposed income tax cut, Medicaid changes, and expansion of private school vouchers.
Walker's top aide Mike Huebsch says Walker's budget makes smart choices while investing in areas that will create jobs and make government more efficient.
The hearings are scheduled to continue into next week before the committee holds four public hearings across the state to gather input on Walker's plan.

Heart Disease Health Center
Heart Disease and Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy, or heart muscle disease, is a type of progressive heart disease in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart muscle's ability to pump blood is weakened, often causing heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body. The disease can also cause abnormal heart rhythms.
There are three main types of cardiomyopathy:

Resveratrol is a member of a group of plant compounds called polyphenols. These compounds are thought to have antioxidant properties, protecting the body against the kind of damage linked to increased risk for conditions such as cancer and heart disease. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes, but other sources include peanuts and berries. Because resveratrol is thought to have so many health benefits, it's not surprising that a number of manufacturers have tried to capitalize by selling...

Bloom takes game to Connecticut
It was a decision that Alec Bloom made before his senior season and one that he confirmed on Wednesday.
Bloom is Connecticut bound.
Bloom – a 6-foot-7 tight end recruit from Ligonier Valley – had made a verbal commitment to Connecticut over the summer. He made it official by signing his National Letter of Intent, then adding the program's hashtagged motto "#bleedblue" on the cover sheet.
Now that everything's set to go, Bloom noted a sense of relief with the process behind him.
"It was a little stressful at times," Bloom said. "In the end it all works out and I'm going to the place I want to. So yeah, I'm a little relieved."
Bloom certainly isn't saying that the recruiting process was all stress.
"It's definitely been a great experience," Bloom said. "I've seen places that I've never been to before. There are some great places up north that I've been to. The key is that you've gotta get exposed to places ... I went to camps, but there are other ways to do it. That's how I got found."
Ligonier Valley coach Roger Beitel, who helped Bloom get to Ligonier Valley High School on Wednesday, despite classes being canceled because of the weather, was also relieved to see Bloom's recruiting adventure wind down.
"(Wednesday morning), I didn't get a very good night of sleep," Beitel said. "I called him and I said: 'How about I just come around and pick you up with the bad roads and that we come in and we get it done?' I know that he was relieved, but I was relieved as well."
Bloom joins a Huskies squad that went 3-9 last season, winning its last three games under interim coach T.J. Weist, who replaced Paul Pasqualoni after the Huskies stumbled to an 0-4 start this past season.
The Huskies hired Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco to take over the program in December.
Through everything, the Storrs, Conn. campus remained the best fit for Bloom.
"Their new coaching staff is amazing up there," Bloom said. "They really impressed me when I went for my visit. They're really just great people up there and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better."
Bloom, who was a part of three straight playoff squads at Ligonier Valley, is also hoping to see team success at the next level.
"Hopefully we'll win lots of games," Bloom said. "That's the goal in college football or in any (level of) football. You gotta want to win games, you gotta want to work hard to win games. Hopefully, I go up there and we walk away with four conference championships and some bowl wins. That's the goal."
At Ligonier Valley, Bloom finished with 45 receptions for 830 yards and 12 touchdowns while rushing for 79 yards and a score. Bloom also tallied 57 tackles and a sack on the defensive side of the ball for the Rams.
Bloom's senior season earned him a selection to the Pennsylvania Sportswriters All-State team and a nod on USA Today's all-Pennsylvania squad while also receiving a first-team tight end selection on The Tribune-Democrat's All-Area Team.
Last week, Bloom was selected to play on the Pennsylvania squad in June's Big 33 Classic in Hershey.
While it's rare to see FBS programs dipping into the Heritage Conference for recruits, Beitel noted that the talent is abundant in the region.
"I think it speaks volumes to the fact that kids from this area can ultimately make it," Beitel said. "And they can make it to the big time, Division I level. It's great for our program, but it's also great for all the kids in this area. Growing up in the backyards, they can see that their dreams can come true and that local kids have done well.
"We're extremely proud of Alec and hope that he can go on to have a great career, come back, stay in touch with the community and also be someone that younger kids can look up to and emulate and try to have their dreams come true as well."

3.8/5 rDev -9.3%
A 330ml bottle with a BB of Jan 2015. Acquired recently from the Brewdog webshop; a political protest in alcoholic form. The label states that this brew contains limonnik berries (also known as five-flavour berries in China).
Poured into a Duvel tulip. A deep orange-amber hue with visible floating sediment and medium carbonation. The sediment resembles coagulated proteins. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before settling as a patchy surface layer. Aroma of intensely fruity hops and berries, with notes of white grape, peach, citrus, mild tropical fruit, grass/hay and an earthy berry quality that is hard to place. Underpinned by subtle caramel malt, mild yeast and a twinge of diacetyl. A touch of booze lurks in the background. Firing on all cylinders.
Tastes of overwhelmingly fruity hops with a powerful bitter finish. Notes of white grape, melon, tropical fruit, grapefruit, citrus, earthy berries, faint lingonberry, mild caramel malt, earthy yeast, a hint of cardboard and stewed hops. Well-attenuated, followed by a strident, spicy bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with decent carbonation and an acceptable body for the style. Hop oils tantalise the palate. Somewhat astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of fruity aromatic hops, spicy bitterness, subtle berry hints and yeast.
An interesting effort - the berry character comes through more strongly in this brew than in some of the other 'Hello My Name Is' variants. It looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are very fruity and hoppy with other characteristics taking a back seat. Body is OK; could be a shade more spritzy. A hop-head's dream. Unfortunately I don't know what limonnik berries taste like in their natural state, so it's hard to judge the extent to which they contribute to the beer. However, the earthy, cardboard hints that they provide aren't entirely agreable. Worth sampling for the curious.

So glad rudzud shared this with me as I hav ea chance to try something so unique (the name and story), pretty funny! Best before 1/28/15
Decent fizzy head covering fades at a fair rate, little lacing, mostly clear orange slight reddish color.
Nose not bad, nice fruity hop, little citrus orange zest, candied orange, little rind and pine, bit earthy pine, fairly sweet syrupy malt, candy malt and caramel.
Taste is fairly sweet, little candy malt and caramel, and that mild toffee nutty with very light smoke like note, typical base for brew dog. Then big hops, earthy and bit spicy, quite bitter, little orange rind little fruity note, mild herbal note and bitter tannic green berry. Finish had a long bitter hop character, herbal piney hops, little more of that herbal bitter berry note.
Mouth is med bod, bod, other but decent carb, no real booze.
Overall interesting, fairly typical dipa and nothing crazy but nothing really wrong.

The colour is red-orange, the liquid clear. The off-white head sinks down to a thick lid, levaing some lacing.
The smell is quite light. Some red berries and a light bitterness. Citric fruity flavours in the background, caramel malts and a hint of lactose.
There are distinct notes of red berries in this one, they are more explicit than in the other "Hello my name is..." beers I have had. It is sweet, reminiding more of an English strong ane than a DIPA. Growing tart notes, the bitterness is very light for the style (it would have been light even for an AIPA). Medium to full body. The aftertaste is somewhat harsh with notes of lingonberries and cranberries. The finish is long lasting with clean bitterness and cranberry juice.
The carbonation is light to medium strong, the bubbles long-lasting; the liquid is medium smooth.
More berries than in the other beers in this series. However, Brewdog seems to still have issues with the bitterness in their hoppy ales.

Appearance: clear, amber colour with a nice 2 finger white head that drops quickly. Average to poor lacing.
Aroma: best one from all beers from the Hello My Name is series, with a great hoppy kick, so it has that citrus aroma but also, finally you can smell those berries they used. That was not the case in previous beers from the series.
Taste: medium to high bitterness, sweet, citrusy and you can taste the berries finally.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, medium carbonation.
Overall: a good Imperial IPA, but I rather have the regular Hardcore IPA.

Received this in a trade, shared with JLindros.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice crystal clear golden brass hue with a thin white head that faded to leave a thin light blanket.
S - Aromas of lightly bitter hops, typical pleasant double ipa aromas, slightly sweet malts, light bitter pine.
T - Taste is light pine notes, faint bitterness, light almost medicinal floral, sweet malts, the pine is muted a little in the finish. Tasty and straightforward.
M - Mouthfeel is a little light and thinner, but, the booze is hidden nicely.
O - Overall this beer wasn't that bad. Nice typical double ipa, not a gimmick.

330ml Bottle from Good Spirits Co, Glasgow (£3.80):
Bright and clear orange amber with a finger-sized, foamy white head that holds well considering the abv.
Tropical fruit notes right off the bat with a lot of sweetness and some pine hops as well. There is some caramel on top of the citrus, mango and apricot notes that make up the majority of the nose. Things are rounded with a nice grapefruit aroma and some light bitterness.
Caramel and tropical flavours initially, with some sweetness and slightly more hops than the nose indicated. There is some citrus flavours coming through alongside some berries and various other fruits. Some floral and herbals flavours round things off towards the end.
Smooth and hoppy with the alcohol content well hidden and quite a refreshing taste to the beer. There is some light herbal spice and a pleasant tang on the tongue with moderate carbonation helping down easily.
A very nice, berry infused double IPA with nice sweet and tropical fruit flavours coming through. The beer wasn't quite as hoppy as I would have liked but it was fairly enjoyable and I might have been tempted to pick it up again in the future if it wasn't a special, limited edition brew.

What do Senator Bob Corker and former "Saturday Night Live" star Victoria Jackson have in common?
Both are being interviewed by News 2 Tuesday as both are making the media rounds on two very different topics.
The senator is outlining a housing finance reform plan in front of Middle Tennessee civic groups that will affect most prospective homebuyers.
Jackson is hop scotching around Nashville TV and radio stations pushing an appearance Thursday at a local comedy club.
The 54-year-old Jackson told Nashville's News 2 she moved to Middle Tennessee three months ago because she has several family members in the area.
On her Web site and in some of her songs, Jackson has been an outspoken critic of various aspects of the Muslim religion, but says it won't be part of her comedy act.

A northwest Iowa county says it has run out of money to help those with their psychiatric medication and counseling.
O'Brien County supervisors say its because of the state's new system, and because the governor vetoed $13M that lawmakers approved to help them make the transition.
Under the old system, counties financed much of the care for their residents, even if they moved away.
That system ended July first.
Now counties are responsible for the costs for everyone living in the county.

While in Florida last night, Stern made some comments that are utterly contradictory to his previous comments and an insult to common sense.
He said that there would be a five team division in Europe within 10 years. The way he outlined it, Miami would fly to Paris for a couple of days, and then play each time in NBA Europe twice. Not only were his comments absurd beyond belief (the logistics of sending the entire American NBA to Europe for 2 weeks or more for example) even HE acknowledged that he made essentially the same promise 5 years ago.
Jump with me for further analysis and the Stern-o-meter (pat pend) evaluation of Stern's latest commentary.
Nice jump! I stuck that landing!
Let's look at this for a moment. Let's pretend I'm an insanely wealthy second-generation piece of Eurotrash with money to burn. I've always wanted to own a professional sports franchise. I won't buy a cricket team because I refuse to to put money into a sport where it seems even half the players don't understand the rules. So let's check my options...
Football (soccer) is the most popular sport on the planet. Virtually every team turns some kind of profit and it's the fastest growing spectator sport in terms of attendance and popularity. But on the other hand...
I got a call from this guy David Stern in America. There are numerous pro basketball leagues all over Europe and even Asia, Australia, and Africa. It too has massive growth potential. Stern wants to expand the American NBA to Western Europe. The positives:
1. Basketball IS becoming very popular here. It's so popular in fact, that a number of American players have been lured across the pond by million dollar contracts and the promise of extensive minutes on the court.
2. He promises that each NBA team will make a 10-game road trip so our fans will have multiple opportunities to see the Lakers and Celtics.
3. The NBA is a marketed brand and every time the USA sends a "Dream Team" to the Olympics, sales of NBA merchandise soar through the roof!
4. Once some of the elite players have a chance to actually experience Europe's lifestyle it will be easier to convince them to come here permanantly.
The negatives:
1. According to this same Stern guy, the NBA is losing hundreds of millions of dollars per season. If it isn't profitable in the land where it was born, why should I believe it will suddenly become lucrative by expanding?
2. He promises that each NBA team will make a 10-game road trip so our fans will have multiple opportunities to get stuck watching teams like the Raptors and Nets.
3. Just a week ago Stern talked about actually closing down several teams in order to save money. I'm not going to throw $300 million or more into an investment only to be told a few years later that I'm being forced out of business. Just because I inherited my fortune that doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to waste my money like that. I'd rather spend it on trips to the Riviera and buying houses for young Swedish porn stars. I have to be fiscally responsible, after all.
4. Even the nouveau riche like myself know that you don't expand and consolidate your business at the same time. Even our women know that you can't expand and contract at the same time without extensive plastic surgery!
5. The American papers are full of stories about labor trouble so severe that the entire league may well close down for part or all of the next season. Do I really want to buy into those kinds of problems?
Let's face it. Stern has worked very hard to build the popularity of the game overseas. He's been so successful at it that a lot of players are leaving the NBA to play for teams in rural China, Egypt, Italy etc. I'm not just talking about the Iversons of the world that are leaving because they have no other options, I'm talk about some legitimate talent. He's done a great job internationalizing the sport. But he hasn't branded the NBA nearly as well. American ballers are viewed as arrogant bullies that maul weaker teams on the court while partying and shooting at each other off the court.
When I plugged this all into the Stern-o-meter (pat pend) it spat out some additional opinions.
What sort of idiot is Stern anyway? Does he really think he can cry about the league losing $400 million a season and sell the league as a money-maker at the same time? Where is the logic in threatening to shut down teams with underperforming balance sheets while marketing the league to what are supposed to be long-term investment consortiums? Does he not think these people do due diligence before investing? Does he think that Europe isn't connected to the World Wide Web and the news services? They will know he's lying to either the American media and owners or potential investors in Europe. Who wants to invest that kind of money with a proven liar? Especially with the proliferance of scam artists and Ponzi schemes?
Finally, is Stern's opinion of the American fans, press, and players so low that he believes the won't see his posturing and constant lies for what they are?
Stern-o-meter official score - 87

Thermal stability of structural turnout gear's component materials is an important factor when selecting new gear. In general, thermal stability describes a material's ability to remain unchanged when exposed to heat. In relation to firefighting gear, thermal stability is often used to explain changes in the performance of turnout gear after exposure to heat. Materials used in structural turnouts can be compromised by a multitude of thermal conditions – from sudden flashover to extended heat exposure in sub-flashover conditions (i.e., extremely high temperatures for short periods or less extreme temperatures for longer periods). Thermal stability is an important indicator of the durability of the protection provided by your gear.
Structural turnout gear does much more than protect you from extreme heat. Each layer in the ensemble's composite – the outer shell, thermal liner and moisture barrier – provides different aspects of protection. The outer shell is your first line of defense for many hazards, including protection against cuts, tears, punctures and direct flame. The thermal liner provides the greatest resistance against heat transfer through the garment to your skin.
The moisture barrier serves two roles:
• It keeps the thermal liner dry by blocking liquid penetration from water, blood, body fluid and the five common chemicals listed in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, 2007 edition.
• It helps reduce heat stress by allowing internal moisture vapor from perspiration to escape from the ensemble.
Because of the specific types of protection these three components offer, they require different materials and constructions. Today's outer shells and thermal liners are made primarily with fibers that are inherently flame and heat resistant. Moisture barriers, however, are constructed with more than just inherently flame- and heat-resistant fibers. They generally include a polyurethane layer, which tends to be more susceptible to change from thermal exposure. Therefore, the technology used to engineer moisture barriers is very important to their thermal stability. Thermally stable moisture barriers are more likely to maintain their performance properties, especially breathability, after being exposed to heat.
The NFPA 1971 Standard specifies the minimum performance requirements for new turnout gear. Within this standard, certain performance requirements specify pre-conditioning of the test samples as an attempt to address some durability issues. Although you can specify turnout gear with performance requirements that exceed the standard, you may also want to ensure that your gear maintains its performance throughout its useful life. Change in components due to thermal exposure can affect the overall performance or durability of your structural turnout gear. Therefore, when selecting the most appropriate gear for you or your department, it is important to consider the performance of each component before and after heat exposure.
Thermal stability of the outer shell
The outer shell is engineered to provide protection against flames as well as cuts and abrasions from objects you may encounter on the fireground. Today's NFPA-certified outer shells are made with inherently flame- and heat-resistant fibers, such as Nomex®, Kevlar® and PBI™ fibers. These fibers are spun into yarns and then woven into strong flame- and heat-resistant fabrics. After being exposed to high heat, they still maintain their flame-resistant properties; however, over time, some of these fabrics can become brittle and stiff from heat exposure, which decreases their ability to resist cuts and tears.
Most outer shells will change color when exposed to high heat. A color change in the outer shell can be used as an indicator that the turnout gear has been exposed, which may warrant an examination to determine if it should be repaired or replaced.

Official Community Plan
The Official Community Plan (OCP) is a provincially-mandated regulatory document and set of high-level plans and policies, such as land use designations that guide land use planning, social, economic, and environmental policies, and civic infrastructure investments.
On June 4, 2014, in response to an application by the Squamish and Lil'wat First Nation challenging the Province's approval and consultation process for the Resort Municipality of Whistler's (RMOW) OCP, the OCP was struck down by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Due to this decision, the previous OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 1021, 1993, is now in effect.
The municipality will continue to provide responsible land use planning through the application of the 1993 OCP and is taking the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition back to the previous OCP.
OCP Documents
Click on the links below to access the OCP bylaw and schedules. These are provided for convenience only. Contact the RMOW Planning Department at 604-935-8170 or email@example.com to get official copies of the OCP Bylaw and Map Schedules.
Whistler2020 and the OCP
Whistler2020, Whistler's community sustainability plan, is Whistler's highest-level policy and served as the overarching guide for the OCP update.
The OCP doesn't replace Whistler2020; they work together to articulate and enshrine our resort community's vision, values and shared commitment to collectively maintain a resilient, four-season tourism resort community and economy. While the OCP has future regulatory consequences, Whistler2020 is a vision and policy that is aspirational, providing a broad strategic scope for our ongoing journey towards success and sustainability.
First Nations and the OCP
Relationships between the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW), the Province of British Columbia, and the Lil'wat and Squamish First Nations have been strengthened through a number of initiatives, including bidding for and hosting the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The Legacy Lands Agreement between Lil'wat Nation, the Squamish First Nation and the RMOW was signed in May 2007 to formalize this relationship.

If you look at the release schedule for the next couple of weeks, it's clear that we're entering the late August/early September slow season. Half-formed young adult adaptations, thrillers that star Ethan Hawke because Nicolas Cage was unavailable, 3D boyband concert movies and a Riddick sequel, with only "The World's End" and "You're Next" to save the day, and a crop of good arthouse fare if they are lucky enough to playing near you ("Short Term 12," "Ain't Them Bodies Saints," "Afternoon Delight," "Drinking Buddies").
But if selections in the multiplexes might be getting thin, most cinephiles don't mind too much, because festival season is getting underway. Telluride, TIFF and NYFF are on the way, but first up is Venice, which we're starting to pack our bags for. The last few years, the line-up on the Lido has rivalled Cannes for quality and big names, and while there's nothing as headline-grabbing as "The Master' this year, the 70th Venice Film Festival is still looking like a sterling year. Below, we've picked out ten of the films we're most looking forward to — check back from next Wednesday onwards for our verdicts on all of the below, and much more.
Synopsis: A pair of astronauts on a routine mission are stranded in space after their space shuttle is destroyed.
What You Need To Know: The festival's opening film is probably their biggest coup, and certainly the movie that's going to turn the most mainstream heads this year (at least on the festival circuit). Seven years ago, Alfonso Cuaron premiered his astonishing dystopian sci-fi picture "Children Of Men," which won the festival's cinematography award, and while a commercial disappointment, it has endured as one of the very best films of the '00s. It's been a long hard road to his follow-up, but "Gravity" will finally unspool on the Lido this week, with A-listers Sandra Bullock and George Clooney (a Venice regular) in the lead roles. The film's technical innovations are probably familiar at this point — a blend of photo-realistic CGI and the performances; minutes-long shot lengths that'll rival the extended takes in Cuaron's previous picture; being designed in 3D from the ground up — and it's certainly one of the most anticipated of the year for many. But will it be a thrill ride? Or a "2001"-style existential arthouse film? We suspect we'll be finding out soon, but either way, we can't wait.
When? Opens the festival on August 28th, before going to TIFF (and rumor has it, Telluride) and then opening wide on October 4th.
Synopsis: In Mississippi, a young boy befriends an ex-con.
What You Need To Know: Even those who liked all of David Gordon Green's comedies were, by the time "The Sitter" rolled around, looking forward to seeing the filmmaker return to the kind of territory that made his name, with films like "George Washington," "All The Real Girls" and "Undertow." And after this year's strong "Prince Avalanche" marked a return to form, by bridging his more comic and serious sides, "Joe" looks to be a real push to the dark side for the filmmaker. Based on the novel by Larry Brown, and described by the director as "dark as fuck," it pairs Green for the first time with Nicolas Cage. It's no secret that the latter's been less than picky with his roles, but when he's working with someone like this, and with material like this, he's one of the greats, and there's strong buzz around his performance. He's paired here with Tye Sheridan, the young star of "Tree Of Life," and as a result, parallels with Jeff Nichols' surprise hit "Mud," in which the young actor also starred, are probably going to be inescapable. But even so, we're expecting something quite different, and if nothing else, it'll be great to see what Cage and Green come up with together.
When? The film screens on the Lido on Friday August 30th, then heads to TIFF. No U.S. distribution yet.
"Night Moves"
Synopsis: A rich kid, a high school dropout and an ex-Marine are drawn together into an eco-terrorism plot to blow up a hydroelectric dam.
What You Need To Know: In something of a mini-theme this year, several filmmakers in competition have refused to rest on their laurels, and are pushing into new territory with their latest films. Among them is Kelly Reichardt, who's gone from low-key dramas "Old Joy" and "Wendy & Lucy" to semi-Western "Meek's Cutoff" to "Night Moves," which appears to be a sort of thriller, or as close to a thriller as Reichardt can come. Described as "a tale of suspense and a meditation on the consequences of political extremism," it a more contemporary offering than its predecessor, and features Reichardt's starriest cast so far, with Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard in the three central roles (and Alia Shawkat and James LeGros in support). Whether or not the film crosses over to a wider audience (we suspect not), Reichardt's a favorite at Venice, and we can't wait to see how her latest film fits in the context of her fine work so far.
When? Screens for press on August 30th, has its public screening the next day, and again, goes on TIFF. No U.S. distributor yet.
Synopsis: A man's life begins to implode on the eve of the biggest day of his career.
What You Need To Know: Only a few months after his first feature as director hit theaters (the well-regarded-for-a-Jason-Statham-movie "Hummingbird," known abroad as "Redemption"), "Eastern Promises" and "Dirty Pretty Things" writer Steven Knight is back, with a speedy turnaround on a project that only started shooting six months ago. But there's a reason for that -- like another Venice entry, Amos Gitai's in-competition "Ana Arabia," the film was shot in real time, which should make it an interesting technical exercise if nothing else. But we've got our fingers crossed that it'll be more than a gimmick, because one of the most exciting actors around, Tom Hardy, has the lead role, and will seemingly be on screen for every frame of the runtime. There's some hefty support behind him too, with Olivia Colman, Ruth Wilson ("The Lone Ranger"), Andrew Scott ("Sherlock"), Ben Daniels ("House Of Cards"), Alice Lowe ("Sightseers") and Tom Holland ("The Impossible") turning up at some point. Knight's got some impressive backup behind the camera too, with "Atonement" director Joe Wright serving as executive producer. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting experiment and a chance to see Hardy on screen for 90 minutes, but hopefully it'll add up to much more than that. (Check out the first clip right here).
When? Look for our review on Monday September 2nd. Right now, the film doesn't have any other festival dates, but Lionsgate will release it in 2014.
"Stray Dogs"
Synopsis: A homeless family in Taipei are joined by a mysterious woman as they head for a sailing trip.
What You Need To Know: It's been too damn long since we had a film from Tsai Ming-Liang. The Malaysian Chinese filmmaker had a burst of activity in the mid-00s, most notably including the superb "Goodbye, Dragon Inn," but all we've had since 2009's "Face" (itself fairly disappointing) are a selection of shorts little-seen outside his homeland. But four years later, he's back with a new feature, which seems to be something of a return to his wheelhouse (comparisons to his earlier "I Don't Want To Sleep Alone" have been made) and we couldn't be more excited. Tsai is one of Taiwan's finest, and one of the great humanists in modern cinema, and hopefully his appearance on the Lido this year will see him back on top.
When? Screens in Venice on the 4th of September, but you'll also be able to catch it at TIFF or NYFF.

Your review for "The Wind Rises" is totally wrong.
It is not "Synopsis: The story of the friendship between Jiro Horikoshi, the designer of the Zero fighter plane, and writer Tatsuo Hori. " at all.
It is a love story of Jiro Horikoshi, who was the designer of smaller airplanes, and a ill-fated-girl Nahoko. Miyazaki used Hori's semi-autographical novel to create the main characters, so Hori is not in the film.
Two young lovers try to--well, it will be a spoiler, so I won't say anymore.
It was a sad movie, but after watching the film, it will revive you in some strange way. I really recommend watching it.
It isn't like The Grave of Firefly either.
Also, it has decent amount of fantasy moments too; a good news for Miyazaki fans, don't you think?

I'm really looking forward to "Tom On The Farm"; the Venice campaign caught my eye from the beginning, and Dolan is due for a major breakthrough. My big question about the movie is this - why does Dolan's Facebook for this film really push Caleb Landry Jones? On the site Dolan calls him the real star of the film, yet he isn't listed on the poster for the film and barely rates mentioning on the films' IMDb listing...I find that issue both curious and perplexing...

ADRIAN - Lourdes rallied from a one-point halftime deficit to defeat Siena Heights 55-46 on Thursday evening at the Field House in Adrian, Mich. to notch its third consecutive victory.
The Gray Wolves trailed 22-21 at the break, and the game was tied at 32 five minutes into the second half, before going on a 9-0 run over the next seven minutes, scoring seven of the points at the free throw line. Lourdes would maintain a lead of at least seven the rest of the way, building its largest lead of the game, 49-38 with 4:56 to play following a pair of free throws by Alex Davis (Cleveland, Ohio/Nordonia H.S.).
The first half was tightly contested throughout, with neither team holding a lead of more than three points the entire way. The lead changed hands 10 times throughout the first 20 minutes and was tied on four other occasions.
It was a big advantage on the offensive glass that helped Lourdes pick up the victory. The Gray Wolves pulled down 25 offensive caroms which led to a 26-7 advantage in second chance points on the night. Lourdes also outscored Siena Heights 28-10 in the paint.
Lourdes shot just 32.1% from the floor for the game, but took care of the basketball, committing just eight turnovers on the night. The Gray Wolves made 21 free throws for the game compared with just six for the Saints as well. Siena Heights stayed in the game shooting 47.1% (8-of-17) from three-point range. Lourdes did not make a shot from long range in the game.
Davis led Lourdes with 12 points while Elvin Butler (Akron, Ohio/East H.S.) added 11 points for the Gray Wolves. Davis also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds as Lourdes outboarded the Saints 48-30 for the night.
Latwan Wesley led Siena Heights (4-12, 3-6 WHAC) with 14 points while Jamison Webster added 11 points and a game-high four assists.

News: Nicki Minaj Heats Up 'Net W/ Sizzling Topless Pic: "I Only Breast Feed The Barbz"
Thursday, Jun 20, 2013 8:22PM
Young Money star Nicki Minaj welcomed in the first day of summer by giving Twitter followers a sizzling hot topless photo of herself Thursday (June 20).
A photo of Nicki and her fun bags started to circulate online Thursday (June 20), likely only fueling her popularity.
Man, oh man, do we love Nicki Minaj. The Queen of the Barbz is pictured backstage, topeless in a dress. On Wednesday, she retweeted the photo of herself, of course hiding away her goods. Not much to say, take a look above at the beauty that is Ms. Minaj, yes lawd. (XXL Mag)
Minaj even teased her Twitter followers with handfuls of breast-related tweets and clarified where the photo actually stems from.
"lol, that was at my W cover shoot last year =) sit barbz! RT @NIKKIUKBARB I love how there's dresses that look like wedding dresses... Um," she tweeted.
"lol, its so not that serious. i hate the barbz for this RT ?@NickiBittyPiggy 1m *picks jaw up from the floor*"
"sure can barbz come on!!! :( > RT @CrazyKenBarb Ya Boobs Looks so TASTY!!! Can I have a Bite @NICKIMINAJ lol"
"one boob at a time barbz say ahhhhh!!!!"
"i only breast feed the barbz. U NOT A BARBIE ITS #NUNAYAFUCKINBEEZWAX" (Nicki Minaj's Twitter)
Along with the viral excitement, Nicki's new "Clappers" song is heating up the Internet.
Featuring a sample of E.U.'s 1988 hit "Da Butt," Wale's synth-laden "Clappers" is laced with claps (duh), cheers, and plenty of hoots and hollers. The Maybach Music MC's laid-back vibe contrasts nicely as he spits: "Clappers to the front/ Shorty got a big ol' butt/ Oh yeah!" Subtle, guys, very subtle. As the song continues, Nicki pops up to spit about giant rumps (coulda told you that one) and gives a "shout-out to that cellulite." (Amen, sister!) OK, we'll concede that "Clappers" is the clear front-runner for the "ratchet booty jam of the summer" award. That said, did we really neeeeeed a ratchet booty summer jam?? Probably not. But are we happy it's here anyway? Sure! Now, just follow our lead and add this song to your "Badunk Night" playlist (maybe next to Big Sean's "Dance A$$"). (Buzzworthy)
She is also getting some radio play courtesy of remixing Cash Money Records rapper Busta Rhymes' "Twerk" single.
Just a few days ago we found out Busta Rhymes and Nicki Minaj shot a video for the official remix of Busta's latest single 'Twerk It' and tonight Hot 97's Funk Flex started his show off with the premiere of the audio. Nicki's verse on this might be exactly what the song needed to blow up. Production comes from Pharrell. The video, which is being directed by Director X, was shot over in Flatbush, Brooklyn. DJ Khaled was also spotted on set so don't be surprised to see him make a cameo. (Direct Lyrics)

SaveUp and FatWallet - 2012 Savings Resolutions
January 26, 2012 | Posted By: Catherine Hawley | Categorized in: Finance
Its January which means a lot of us recently made resolutions that involve savings targets and reducing debt. SaveUp is another resource that helps you do just that. I recently wrote a post for SaveUps blog titled 7 Tips to Keeping Your Savings Resolutions in 2012. Id like to touch on some of those concepts as they apply to FatWallet and SaveUp.
How can you use these innovative services to help you stick to your financial resolutions?
Strategies:Create strategies to accomplish your goal. Post them in a place where you see it frequently and devise fun reminders to keep you on track. Maybe it is taking action daily or weekly. It could include playing SaveUp or checking FatWallets daily deals. Think of a variety of strategies, including consistent habits, that will help you accomplish your goal.
Perhaps youre spending less on consumer items because of FatWallet . . . Im thinking cash back on purchases you already make! You can put those dollars in an account linked to SaveUp and earn points to win prizes!
Buddy System:Find a friend who has a similar goal. Perhaps youll find someone that shares an interest in saving money and reducing debt in FatWallets finance forum. Having a support system can hold you accountable and offer resources to help you achieve your goals.
Reward:Honor the accomplishment of your goal with a fun and memorable activity or item. Be sure that the reward doesnt conflict with your savings objectives. SaveUp has a variety of rewards too. They even have prizes related to common savings goals . . . like $5,000 for paying your bills or $25,000 toward a childs college fund! With a reward in mind sacrificing for your goal doesnt feel restrictive because you have something enjoyable to look forward to.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with SaveUp, it is a rewards program for saving and reducing debt. SaveUp and FatWallet share the same objective - to help you save. They both take a different approach, allowing you to use both to effectively tackle your savings goals. Like FatWallet, SaveUp is free! To begin, you link your accounts (nearly any US institution that has online banking services). Next, you save or reduce debt to earn credit. You can use these credits to win daily prizes, including a $2,000,000 jackpot! You can learn more and signup at Saveup.com.
We hope that these strategies help you meet and exceed your savings goals for the New Year. We wish you a fruitful and prosperous 2012!
This is a guest post by Catherine Hawley, CFP® from SaveUp.com, the first nationwide rewards program that encourages Americans to save money and pay down their debts. With every positive financial action, SaveUp users are awarded credits that they can use for the chance to win vacations, cars, electronics, cash and a $2 million jackpot.

A condenser mic without presence hype?
I am looking for advice on finding a good condenser mic without too much of a presence boost at the top end. I often record a female vocalist who is operatically trained, so when she belts out rock songs in full chest voice things can get a little harsh. I am picking up an EV RE20 to try as an altenative, but what I really prefer is a condenser. I have a good range of preamps.... Does anyone have any suggestions for mics that can handle loud bright female vox without adding too much hype? So far the best I have is a Milab DC63, but I am looking for any other ideas.
