Robert Schmidt, mandolin player extraordinaire, of the Irish-American Celtic punk band Flogging Molly has exclusively designed his own Fender Electric Mandolin. Based on the FM62 E Fender Mandolin from years past, Robert designed this beauty to sound great and to take a beating but make no mistake this mandolin is a beauty to look at with its dark walnut stain spruce top and carved maple back and sides, bronze cast chrome tailpiece, chrome dome style volume knob, ebony bridge, and rosewood fretboard.

Stumbled upon this by accident at a local music store. I was looking for something a little different in a mandolin and this fit the bill to a T. Really like the look and tone (despite having no tone control). A proper setup cured any playability issues. My only beef is the tuning machines which range from too loose to too tight making tuning it a bit of a challenge at times. Guys in the band dug the new sound addition and we had no trouble getting a good live sound that cuts. A good deal for a mid-priced mandolin.

I had never really been interested in mandolin, however shifts in my musical tastes made me realise how nice they sound and how they can be used in a contemporary context. Upon seeing this beauty on the Fender website I was interested in giving it a shot. I've been playing guitar for over 10 years, so wanted to get something above entry level, without spending a hell of a lot of money. The lovely team who run the UK Fender Facebook page tracked one down in London for me, which I went to try out, only knowing a couple of mandolin chords and one riff. I fell in love pretty much instantly and returned a week later, credit card in hand to make it my own.
The setup was decent in the shop, however I noticed it was a bit high the further up the neck I went. A quick setup by a luthier later and it came back playing like an absolute dream! Sure, it's not the most expensive mandolin out, and the shape may be one to divide opinion, but I'm super happy I picked this baby up. The only thing I've found is that I've noticed a ground hum at the last couple of gigs I've played. I'm not sure if this is an issue with dirty power at the venue or if the electronics need a once over. I must stress that this has only been an issue at the last 2 gigs, before then it was fine. If anyone can recommend a small (non-rack) power conditioner, I'd love to give that a try...
I run my mandolin into a Radial ToneBone Pz-Pre, which I also use for my acoustic guitar. For a lower price point instrument, I was very pleasantly surprised at the acoustic tone as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a no-frills mandolin with a pickup that's designed for a great stage sound.

It only takes a second!
It is our goal to keep all citizens of Buncombe County informed in the fastest and most efficient way possible and in a cost effective manner. Sign up for the eZine and you'll get an email every Monday with all the latest news in Buncombe County Government.
Check out the current issue.
As part of a regional effort to reduce vulnerability to natural disasters, Buncombe County is requesting public feedback on natural disaster risk and preparedness. This feedback will assist the efforts of Buncombe and Madison Counties to combine respective local natural hazard mitigation plans into one regional plan. A mitigation plan identifies and assesses a community's natural hazard risks, and determines how to best minimize or manage those risks.
A brief survey provides the public an opportunity to share opinions and participate in the regional planning process. Responses will help the planning team to better understand the region's hazard concerns, which can lead to mitigation activities and help lessen the impact of future hazard events.
By maintaining a Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan, Buncombe County is eligible for FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants, which provide funds for eligible mitigation activities that reduce disaster losses and protect life and property from future disaster damages. HMA provides funding opportunities for mitigation activities both before and after a disaster, as well as long-term hazard mitigation measures after a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
Residents of Buncombe and Madison Counties are invited to participate in this survey at:
Please help us by completing this survey, and thank you!
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about disaster preparedness and mitigation, please contact Angie Ledford at 250-6605.

Ottawa smoked the Florida Panthers 4-0 last night, but the more entertaining portion of the game was the man behind the Senators' bench who bore a striking resemblance to Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. The amusing double-shots continued for much of the game, until something tragic happened: they ejected the man! (No, not Paul MacLean. The guy who looked like him.) National Post columnist Bruce Arthur put it best:
"Welcome back, fans! We're sorry! Oh you made our game more entertaining by buying a seat and looking like our head coach? GET OUT, DEVIL."— Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) January 22, 2013
We heard later he may have been ushered out to be interviewed for television. We hope that's the case, because the very last thing the NHL needs to be doing is antagonizing its fans.

change your trinkets per fight. there is no perfect set imo =)
I've been working with trying to figure out what trinkets to use.
Been trying to play test them all, finding out what works best with my play style.
My current trinket set is Valor Medal of the First War - Item - World of Warcraft | Repelling Charge - Item - World of Warcraft
I also have the Essence of Gossamer - Item - World of Warcraft | Essence of Gossamer - Item - World of Warcraft | Figurine - Monarch Crab - Item - World of Warcraft
I found that the repelling was an overall larger passive increase over the Rune. Netting about .6% Dodge and .6% Parry (even though I'm substantially over 540, at around 566-568 depending on flask) over the .8% Parry. However, with the activate for a last standish ability, and generally prefer it over meager couple of % parry from the rune. I at times far it hard to manage so many CDs, and always try to look for some passive trinkets, which are few and far between.
My next great idea. Was to try and playtest Darkmoon Card: Greatness - Item - World of Warcraft or Darkmoon Card: Greatness - Item - World of Warcraft
I've yet to find a reliable resource, I may not be looking hard enough, of the effective agi:dodge ratio for a DK, but I'm guessing it would be much that of warriors, which means the AGI trinket might not be the best choice. The Str, turns into AP and Parry which is delicious and the proc equates to more than equip bonus on the Rune is, +600 more AP, yay TPS.
I guess I'm looking for opinions, it seems like a solid choice, since there's no way in heck I'm going to drop below the "defense cap". Has anyone tried play testing it and could possibly offer some kind of opinion?
change your trinkets per fight. there is no perfect set imo =)
As a DK tank, I use the Monarch Crab and the Ruby Hare socketed with parry/stam gems. Considering the socket bonus of 9 stam, that's a good 95 stam and 16 parry rating, compared with the 111 stam and chance to proc of the Essence of the Gossamer.
My Gossamer, Valor Medal, and Repelling Charge are banked atm, but I'll probably start carrying them in my bags as a fight-to-fight thing.
Typically, I tank everything with the Crab and Hare though.
I *was* using Gossamer beforehand, but Loot Rank for WotLK seemed to think Hare was a bit better, and since resocketing and giving it a shot, I'd have to agree.
When time/money allows, I plan to get the +str Greatness card to replace the Hare with. I doubt the crab will get replaced anytime soon.
As a non-jewelcrafter I'm highly limited in my trinket options. I have no badges to buy Valor Medal. I'm currently using level 70 trinkets. And not good ones at that.
Trinkets are one of the hardest things to replace in Wrath. Hoping to do so soon.
I use repelling charge and the crab for just about everything. I never bothered to farm for the essence as I was using the ruby hare prior to that. Ill bust out the hare for a stam fight if needed (its sockected for stam and stam/def).
I have yet to pick up the badge trinket as I dont really feel I need more avoidance at this point and the clickys are pretty much the same. So id be trading about 90 stam for 84 dodge, meh IMO. The parry trinket in Naxx 25 is just fail and we have dubbed it the "achievement" trinket. I think a priest got it last week :P
I cast the spells that make the people fall over.
I'm using Gossamer and Seal of the panthion. Azjol hc 2nd boss and HoL norm Loken respectively.
I love tanking . "He organized your library? I am impressed." Anduin Lothar to Medivh about Khadgar.
Using essence of gossamer and mark of norgannon on most fights. but i changing them with lavanthor`s talisman and reppeling charge sometimes. depends on the encounter
I use Greatness/Crab, and Greatness/Mirror. Thinking about switching to Greatness/Grim Toll (when it drops again).
After having a chance to main tank every encounter 10/25 in Wrath, I have found 2 reliable trinket set ups as a Warrior and a non-jewel crafter. I typically act as a hateful tank or OT for Patchwerk.
Patchwerk Set Up (10/25):
- Repelling Charge - Item - World of Warcraft
- Valor Medal of the First War - Item - World of Warcraft
Standard (all boss) Set Up (10/25):
- Repelling Charge - Item - World of Warcraft
- Essence of Gossamer - Item - World of Warcraft
Until they release the new content patch Ulduar I doubt I will change these at all.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
It is very fight specific. I would use goss and crab for soaker fights while I would use the crab and RC for mitigation fights.

WASHINGTON — You could certainly make the argument that Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche was the team's MVP in 2012, hitting .271 with a career high 33 home runs with 100 RBI in 154 games as he helped lead the Nats to the Nationals League Eastern Division title, and on Tuesday night he capped off his year by winning his first career Gold Glove award.
LaRoche made just 7 errors during the year in 1,367 chances while leading all National League first basemen in fielding percentages (.995), games started (149) and innings (1,323.1).
In early October, just after the Nationals had clinched the NL East, I asked LaRoche if winning a Gold Glove ever crossed his mind.
"That's voted on by the players so if any of that does happen, it's obviously real cool to get and to have other players on other teams to view you that way," he said. "If it happens, that's awesome."
LaRoche's steadiness at first base and his consistency at the plate were remarkable especially considering he missed almost all of the 2011 season after having shoulder surgery. What he brought to the table this year did not go unnoticed by his teammates.
"Health is the biggest thing for him and for everyone," said Nats third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who won the Gold Glove in 2009. "When he's healthy and gets his at-bats and gets to play a full season, this is what he does. This is who he has been his whole career when he is healthy and he's a good guy to have on your team."
Triple Gold
The awards were announced Tuesday night. And the Orioles laid claim to three Gold Glove winners this year.
Centerfielder Adam Jones and catcher Matt Wieters won Gold Gloves for the second consecutive season while shortstop JJ Hardy won his first Gold Glove. The Orioles were the only team to have three players honored and one of only two teams, the Yankees being the other, with more than one selection for 2012.
Hardy was deserving after a season in which he led all American League shortstops in games (158), fielding percentages (.992), putouts (244) and assists (529). He made just 6 errors in 779 chances and his .992 fielding percentage was the highest mark by an AL shortstop since Mike Bordick's .998 mark for the Orioles in 2002.
Hardy is the fourth Orioles shortstop to win a Gold Glove, joining Cal Ripken, Luis Aparicio and Mark Belanger.
"I've always hoped, but I never expected it," Hardy said. "It's definitely an award in the past I've seen a lot of shortstops get that are real flashy and kind of catch the eye of a lot of people. I don't look at myself that way. I just kind of look at myself as just trying to be consistent, steady, and I never felt like people noticed really until Buck (Showalter) would talk about it and I think that was a big part of getting me noticed."
"I had no choice but to talk about him," said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "He was making two or three plays every night that I think were so invaluable. I happen to think JJ's substance is his style. I consider him to be very stylish. I don't know if flashy is the word because he does things that other people can't do."
Jones led American League centerfielders in games played (162) and putouts (439). It's the second time in the last three years he has led the league in putouts at his position. And he ranked third in assists with seven.
Jones is one of three Orioles outfielders to take home a Gold Glove, joining Paul Blair who won eight and Nick Markakis who was a winner in 2011.
"I think winning the first one was important because it's the first one," said Jones. "But I think this one is earned because the team won. All 52 guys that were in our uniform this year, we went out there and played hard every day. There was somebody new every day that came up big. I look at the Gold Glove as a personal award, but it's also a team award. We all made each other better and it's appreciated."
It is the ninth time in Orioles history they have had at least three players win Gold Gloves in the same year. The last time was in 1998 when second baseman Roberto Alomar, pitcher Mike Mussina and first baseman Rafael Palmeiro accomplished the feat.
Wieters recognizes that the team's defense, especially in the second half of the season, was one of the reasons the Orioles were able to make their first playoff appearance after a 14-year drought.
"I think it is something we take pride in," he said. "I think defensively, it's something you can always work at and get better at and to have three guys win a Gold Glove in the same year is pretty special."

More than three quarters of the consumers surveyed believe that alternative energy brought benefits, and a slight majority, 54 percent, would pay an additional 5 percent on their electric bills....
Green Price Stability
New approaches account for the economic benefits of renewables.
most renewables-based plants is stable over time, subject only to variations in operations and maintenance (O&M) costs and resource availability, which tend to be predictable. 8 Thus, whether a utility owns its renewable generation or purchases renewable energy through a power-purchase agreement, the price is known and essentially fixed over time. 9
There are large differences in the structure of the costs among generating sources. For example, the majority of the projected generation cost for the wind plant is in the up front capital investment, while most of the natural gas generation cost is in the fuel expense (see Figure 1) . The challenge for capital-intensive power projects is that the up front cost of power projects usually receives greater scrutiny from utility regulators. However, the long-term costs and rate impacts of projects with significant fuel costs are dependent on fuel price projections that cannot be known with certainty. Furthermore, once the project is in operation, fuel price increases and decreases tend to be passed to customers through periodic, real-time fuel price adjustments. The initial capital costs of power plants are more predictable than fuel costs and easily can be planned into electricity rates.
Although nearly 50 percent of U.S. electricity supply is generated from coal, the natural gas generation share has been increasing—natural gas generation now accounts for 20 percent of U.S. electricity generation compared to 13 percent just 10 years ago. Notwithstanding commodity price trends in late 2008, the growing dependence on natural gas as a generation fuel has caused electricity prices to increase significantly. 10
Recent trends in natural gas prices have highlighted the risks inherent in reliance on fuel-based technologies without fixed-price fuel contracts (see Figure 2) . Not only have higher prices been a burden, but the volatility of prices also is problematic for both operations and planning.
Even coal-fired generation is subject to fuel-price escalation and volatility. U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data show that the average cost of coal delivered to U.S. electric generating plants rose 30 percent from 2004 to 2007 as a result of both minemouth price increases as well as transportation cost increases. 11 And spot market coal prices have increased even more dramatically, with Central Appalachian coal prices exceeding $140 per short ton in the summer of 2008 compared to about $45 a year before. 12 Coal generation costs also might be subject to future emissions control costs ( i.e., for carbon and mercury), which generally aren't reflected in current or projected plant costs.
Typically, these cost increases are passed on to ratepayers. As a result, some electricity customers are beginning to value renewable energy generation for its stable-price characteristics in addition to the environmental benefits. And green power customers are beginning to expect to receive this fixed-price benefit as a component of their product purchase. 13
Valuing Fixed-Price Renewables
What motivates consumers to purchase green power? Utility market research has found that for residential customers, the decision is predominantly an emotional one; while for commercial customers, it is a business decision. 14 Both sets of consumers often are interested in

The first movement of the present suite is the prelude to The Excursion of Mr Broucek to the Moon. This is followed by the 'Moon Waltz', danced by the deliciously arty moon creatures – music of irrepressible energy which has an unstoppable momentum similar to some of the faster waltz music in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier (written at much the same time as Janácek's opera). The third movement begins with the lovely interlude which leads us back from the moon near the end of the first excursion, and leads into the tender duet between the young lovers Málinka and Mazal which brings the moon opera to a quietly rapturous (and rather Puccinian) close. The Excursion of Mr Broucek to the Fifteenth Century is both a grander and more serious opera, set in 1420 at a critical period in the history of the Czech lands when the Catholic Emperor Sigismund attempted to seize power with a Pan-European Crusader army – a move that was fiercely resisted by the Hussites. Music from the spectacular scene in Prague's Tyn Church, with a gigantic Hussite Chorale (complete with organ, bells, and – in the original opera – a Bohemian bagpiper) forms the fourth movement of this suite. Finally, the climactic scene of the opera (and the entire 'Bilogy') is the victory celebration in the Old Town Square in Prague, following the famous victory by the Hussites over Sigismund's forces in the Battle of Vítkov. This passage began as purely orchestral music, to which Janácek later (at the request of Gustav Schmoranz, the producer of the 23 April 1920 premiere at the Prague National Theatre) added vocal parts to welcome the victorious General Zizka and his officers. Thus the version in the suite provides a chance to hear what Janácek's first thoughts were. In the opera itself, Broucek's own craven cowardice is pitilessly exposed at the end of this scene before his undignified return to reality (he wakes up in a booze-soaked stupor, emerging from a beer-barrel), but in the suite a neat cut from the height of the procession to the closing bars of the work bring things to a swift and life-affirming close.

You are WWWAAAAAYYYYYY low on HPs dude. I'm not even entirely sure how. Stop gemming for socket bonuses. You want 1 gem that's stam/red (probably dodge) and the rest should be +30 stam. You're engineering so get the engineering armor to gloves enchant asap. Change cloak to 225 armor, shield to 18 stam, chest to 275 hps, and get the 30 stam 15 resil PvP shoulder enchant (10k honor from the vendors in org).
As far as spec goes you should also pick up improved disciplines. Either drop 2 points in shield spec or in focused rage, I myself prefer 2/5 shield spec, 3/3 focused rage, and 2/2 imp disciplines.
Trinkets are good, you're probably gonna want to keep the ony one until you have more natural defense. If you have the means to get them I'd say craft the saronite swordbreakers for your wrists.
I'd also suggest looking into getting the indestructible plate girdle, much more stam.
If you don't pick up glyph of shield wall DEFINITELY drop cleaving for Last Stand.
Weapon Enchant: Blood Draining... NOW... DO IT. But while we're on the topic of weapons, get a new one.
As far as strat goes: you shouldn't need any cooldowns for the first and even second set of impales because he barely has any stacks of his buffs up then. The 3rd set is the ones you'll need cooldowns on.

Be yourself everybody else is already taken. -Oscar Wilde

What is GCE?
This is a question that you could spend twenty minutes explaining, but because you don't have twenty minutes to read, I'll try and explain simply. GCE, or Global Citizenship Experience is a private lab High School in downtown Chicago. We are nothing like your average school, and you can tell just by looking at our name! We offer a different way of learning, one that makes sense- a hands on approach to learning things relevant to real life. This sounds cool, but it's even cooler to experience it. We've gone to Ted talks (yes, the whole school), had famous Chicago Artists, met with huge investment companies, been to that Mercantile Exchange (Chicago stock market), studied gentrification in neighborhoods in Chicago by actually going to the neighborhood and talking with local residents and activists, the list goes on and on. If you think that is cool, or amazing, or inspiring (which you do), it gets even better. The support a student gets from GCE is overwhelming, teachers want nothing more than for you to succeed, and I know most schools say it (and they lie...) it's actually true here. My freshman year some students stayed until around 8PM with the teacher to finish a project, that same year when we wanted a basketball team but didn't have a coach, our principal stepped up and has been our coach ever since then- the list goes on and on. So, while the question is so simple,
what is gce?
The answer is surely not, but to sum it up in two words, I'd call it my
second home
About Me
I'm a Senior in High School at GCE Chicago, this is my fourth year here. Over the summer I went on a service trip for Habitat For Humanity in Alaska for two weeks. I spend my spare time working on web design and internet marketing, and have a new found love in community service. In college I'm looking to pursue service, hopefully through Habitat for Humanity because I really believe in what they do. If you want to see my photos from alaska, click HERE!

Ooooh who is that peeping around the corner...? Victoria Beckham is barely visible behind a barrage of press, all with cameras and tape recorders. But the sound of toddler giggles from behind a pillar has given away the fact that baby Harper and daddy David Beckham are peeping through a set of empty clothing rails watching Mum give a press conference. Daddy Beckham is looking insanely sharp in a Tom Ford suit and baby Harper is swaddled in a fawn coloured cashmere smock dress from Bonpoint.
David Beckham next to Anna Wintour on the front row
In her first year, Harper has become a fashion show veteran. This is her second New York fashion week. It's David's first time out and he seemed perfectly happy swapping fashion pleasantries with Anna Wintour on the front row. But he looked even happier backstage walking Harper around between the rails.
'Oh, she is such a daddy's girl,' laughed Victoria. 'Harper comes to work with me. Last season she was here when we launched Victoria, Victoria Beckham. But this is David's first show. I think he has only just realised how hard I work. That it's not just a hobby.'
Last season, Victoria Beckham had baby Harper, her fourth child, launched Victoria, Victoria Beckham, her second collection and won her first British Fashion Award. If anyone suspected that her fashion career was a hobby they must know by now that couldn't be farther from the truth.
The summer silhouette had eased up a lot with sporty parkas offering an option to the VB trademark second skin cling. And in an interview earlier this week, she said that as she feels more confident about her personal style she feels less like she needs to show her figure off. But by the time it came to working on the winter collection she was back to pre-baby weight and this collection has also snapped back into razor sharp shape. It was all about a second skin dress, a nod to Romeo's baseball kit and some military detailing.
Victoria Beckham finale
'I love my family but I am happy not to be pregnant this season,' she admitted. 'The Victoria line has got off to such a strong start. Because of that, I've been able to focus on the ready to wear in a different way and reinvent my signature. It's all about construction and quality. The hardware and military influence is coming from the handbags. I am so excited about the new Harper bag. I am designing what I want myself. And I can't wait to wear it.'
'My daily life is my inspiration. I took the beanie hats (made by Stephen Jones) from David's wardrobe and there are some boyfriend jackets that are all him. And the baseball stripes and jersey cuffs came about when I was standing in kitchen and Romeo runs in wearing a baseball kit and I thought that's it. It looks so cool.
Victoria Beckham takes her bow
'I have a lot of gowns in the collection but edited them out for the catwalk show. I've been lucky to have had lots of people ask me to make them things for the red carpet but I am having to say no. We are too small a team to be able to do that yet. I can't afford to show them on the red carpet before I show them to the buyers.'
With merchandise selling out on Net A Porter and stores all over America and Europe clamouring to buy, it would appear her red carpet absence is not hurting. And with a family of guys as inspiring as the Beckham boys, it would seem she need look no further than her own back yard for an abundance of ideas.

Consciousness In The Cell
With the absence of just one enzyme, the human species could go extinct. Only one example should suffice to dramatize this.
Nerve cells, called neurons, envelop our bodies, forming an interconnected web. A constant flow of information takes place along this web of neurons. Electric signals traveling along the length of each neuron transfer innumerable commands and warnings between the brain and other organs.
But neurons do not form one long cable extending from one part of the body to another. They are placed end to end, but do not even contact each other directly. There are gaps between them.
So how does the electricity flow from one nerve cell to the next?
It does so thanks to a very complicated chemical system that comes into play. Between nerve cells is a special fluid containing very specialized chemical enzymes, with the extraordinary ability to transport electrons. When an electric signal reaches the end of the nerve, its electrons are deposited onto these enzymes. The enzymes, carrying their electrons, then move through the fluid and transfer the electrons to the next nerve, thus passing along the electric signal. This process takes place within the smallest fraction of a second, and under no circumstances is the flow of electricity ever cut.
Again, even if all of the parts of the human body were complete, the lack of this one enzyme would be enough to prevent the organism from carrying out any functions at all. The same would arise if any single one of the other thousands of enzymes were lacking. No organism has the luxury of waiting millions of years for blind coincidence to complete its ability to survive, as is claimed by the theory of evolution.
The one apparent truth here is that all living things, humans included, were created with their perfect and faultless structures all at once—that is, they were perfectly created by God.
1.The gap between two nerve cells, and the enzymes entrusted with carrying electrical signal from one cell to the other
2.The enzyme that transmits the electrical signals to the next nerve cell

There are lots of reasons to want a projection system for your home theater video display. The pleasure of placing big speakers next to or in front of the screen isn't one of them, which is why commercial theaters put the speakers behind the screen.
Home theaters can be set up the same way, but they usually aren't. Why's that? Because for a long time the only way to make a screen suitable for placing speakers behind it was to poke holes in it—these are called perforated screens. Perforated screens, when viewed up close, look just the way you'd think—they're covered with a pattern of holes. It's a good idea, but one with several problems. First, to make sure you're not compromising the sound quality of the speakers, the screen needs to have lots of holes or big holes. But when there are holes, things are going to fall through them. In the case of a home theater projector, that thing falling through is going to be light. The more light that passes through the holes, the less light the screen reflects back toward the audience. In effect, a perforated screen can throw out some of the light you paid a lot of money for.
The other big objection to perforated screens is that they contribute to something called the moiré effect. This happens when the pixel structure of the projector interferes with the pattern structure of the holes in the screen. What you get is something like a criss-cross pattern on your movie. Try looking through two window screens at the same time, and you'll see what I mean.
The Seymour Screen Excellence Enlightor 4K screen approaches the problem a little differently. Rather than a perforated screen, the Enlightor is a woven material, but not just any ordinary woven material. When you look at it close up you notice two things. First, the weave appears to be random; there's no discernible grid to the weave. The other thing you notice is that there are no holes. The weave appears to be so tight as to be a completely solid screen even when you put your face up close to it. See photos of the material up close:
So why would you want an acoustically transparent screen? The benefits include the ability to hide your speakers without any acoustic compromise, but beyond that, you can experience the sound from the place where the action is happening. Some people opt for in-ceiling speakers as a way to avoid putting speakers in front of the screen, but in that situation the sound is coming from above the action, not from the picture. Do you want the actors' voices to come from their mouths or from a space a few feet below their mouths? The difference can be subtle, but noticeable once you've tried it.
Seymour also says there's no minimum seating distance—due to the fine weave. So the seating distance is largely dependent on your room, your preference and your projector. Using a 4K projector will allow you to get closer (or use a bigger screen) before you can see the projector's pixel structure.

The dollar has been mixed in relatively narrow ranges, firmer against the euro, lower versus sterling and the yen. The biggest mover out of the main currencies has been the Aussie, which dove to new major-trend lows. EUR-USD drifted below 1.2450 as losses seen from the high 1.24s extended.

The dollar maintained a softer tone that was established after the round of soft data out of the U.S. yesterday, while firm capital expenditure numbers out of Australian aided the greenback lower in the case against the Aussie. EUR-USD saw a narrow range, though managed to recover from a dip below 1.2500. Yesterday's peak at 1.2531 was left unchallenged.

The dollar was broadly lower in N.Y. trade on Wednesday, as softer data, and ongoing pre-Thanksgiving position squaring kept the unit on the back foot. Firmer jobless claims, softer income and consumption data, and pullbacks in Chicago ISM, Michigan sentiment, and new home sales all contributed. Despite the data, Wall Street maintained its poise, trading mixed overall. Yields remained soft through the session. Activity largely screeched to a halt after ... Read More ►

Israeli settlements and the peace process
It is a tit-for-tat policy, which is causing further confrontation, hurt and anger across the West Bank. As the UN Security Council meets to examine the Palestinians' statehood bid, we look at the situation on the ground. Our report is from Migron, an Israeli outpost, where several homes have recently been removed by the government, after leftist Israeli NGO Peace Now won the case for their removal.

998cc, 197.3bhp, 184.34mph, Insurance group 17
Kawasaki's ZX-10R evokes thoughts of rip-roaring power and handling best suited to race circuits. While that may have been the case of the original 2004 model, subsequent models have been diluted to the point where ZX-10R is regarded as a decent on the road superbike but not quite in touch with the competition of the latest Blade, techno-laden R1 and ...
998cc, 185.4bhp, 186mph, Insurance group 17
The new Kawasaki ZX-10R scores an easy five out of five; it surely must be the fastest production 1000cc bike of the current crop. But this ZX-10R is not all about Kawasaki's new blistering engine and head-banging attitude, it's controllable and handles much better than the previous ZX-10R and despite the blistering pace is actually easier to ride. Not for ...
998cc, 181bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
Slightly more user friendly than the psycho C-model Kawasaki ZX-10R of 2004/05 but the latest Kawasaki ZX-10R is still a pretty extreme, track focused missile. Competitive in the 1000cc sports category, so obscenely fast and fine handling. Kawasaki ZX-10R headlights not to everyone's taste visually but it's a look that gets cars out of the way sharpish.
998cc, 181bhp, 180mph, Insurance group 17
The Kawasaki ZX-10R is sold as the ultimate track bike – the 2004/05 ZX-10R was one of Kawasaki's first machines after the firm gave itself a kick up the arse in 2002. The 10R's one wild ride and an absolute weapon in experienced hands. It's light, makes massive power and handles superbly on the track –a bit of a handful ...

Each autumn, the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (IMF) hold Annual Meetings to discuss a range of issues related to poverty reduction, international economic development and finance. The Annual Meetings provide a forum for international cooperation and enable the Bank and Fund to better serve their member countries.
The Annual Meetings traditionally are held in Washington two years out of three and, in order to reflect the international character of the two institutions, every third year in a different member country. In addition to the meetings of the Boards of Governors, the Development Committee and the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) are officially convened. The Development Committee and the IMFC advise the Boards of Governors on issues of global concern, including the world economic outlook, poverty eradication, economic development, and aid effectiveness.
Around these meetings, the Bank and the IMF organize a number of fora to facilitate the interaction of governments and World Bank-IMF staff with civil society organizations, journalists, private sector executives, academics and representatives of other international organizations. Indeed, every effort is made to ensure that the Annual Meetings provide an effective forum for explaining to the public -- directly and through the media -- the activities, challenges and achievements of both institutions. The meetings also increase engagement through innovative events such as the Open Forum, furthering efforts toward greater openness and transparency.
About 10,000 people attend the meetings, including about 3,500 members of delegations from the member countries of the Bank and the IMF, roughly 1,000 representatives of the media, and more than 5,000 visitors and special guests drawn primarily from private business, the banking community and NGOs. In addition, Bank and IMF staff participate in the meetings with officials of government delegations.
At each Spring and Annual Meeting, the joint Bank-IMF Development Committee and the IMF's International Monetary and Financial Committee hold meetings to discuss progress on the work of the Bank and Fund. Also featured are seminars, regional briefings and press conferences, focused on the global economy, international development, and the worldŌĆÖs financial markets. Plenary sessions of the World Bank and the IMF's Boards of Governors are only scheduled during the Annual Meetings in the autumn.
