It started as a typical dance workshop for 11-year-old Allison Chevrier.
Mixed in with an intermediate class of 12 to 14 year olds at the Triple Threat Dance Convention in Toronto, the Micki's Dance Connection student was excited to be learning from renowned dancers like Dancing With the Stars alumnus Edyta Sliwinska.
Part way through the October workshop, Sliwinska called Chevrier over.
"I was scared," Chevrier said. "I walked over and she gave me a piece of paper and asked me to fill it out. I had no idea what it was for."
The convention was no ordinary workshop. Sliwinska was blind auditioning hundreds of dancers for her upcoming show, Dance Star.
Chevrier was one of only six performers chosen to dance in the theatrical production.
"I had no clue of it," Chevrier said. "I was really excited because I've never been in a show or anything outside of my dance studio. It's amazing. You are being chosen by a lady from Dancing With the Stars."
Dance Star, which stars Sliwinska and her fellow Dancing With the Stars alumnus and husband, Alec Mazo, tells the story of Sofia, a young dancer who dreams of stardom. The production runs Feb. 1 to Feb. 11 in the Avalon Ballroom Theatre at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.
The show boasts an all-star cast, featuring So You Think You Can Dance performers Denys Drozdyuk, Ashleigh Di Lello and Ryan Di Lello, as well as The Voice season two contestant Angel Taylor and American Idol season four finalist Anthony Fedorov.
Chevrier will join the cast for 13 shows, performing modern contemporary and ballet routines in scenes that involve Sofia as a young girl.
"I find it amazing because you're watching these people on TV and then you're actually beside them dancing," Chevrier said. "It's unreal."
The honour is well-deserved, according to Micki's Dance Connection owner Michelle Long.
"She has incredible talent, she has one of the best work ethics of all the girls, she is a great self-learner and motivator and she has natural ability to go with that," Long said. "She's got it all. The smile, the stage presence and I think they saw that. She's one of our star dancers here."
Dancing is life for the Grade 6 St. Basil's student. Chevrier started dancing at two years old and entered her first competition at five. Now, she's in the studio at Micki's three hours a day, five days a week, dancing tap, jazz, acro, ballet, hip-hop and lyrical, as well as assisting with classes.
"I wish I could clone her," said dance teacher Vicki Fletcher. "She is the hardest worker and very dedicated. You can tell she loves (dancing)."
When Chevrier's not at the studio, she can be found dancing around her home.
"I find that (dancing) is a way to express my feelings," Chevrier said. "I like to dance to the music because I love it so much."
With the upcoming Dance Star show, Chevrier has had to up her practice time, spending hours at home learning routines on her own from an e-mailed video and dance steps sent by Dance Star production team Dancing Pros Inc.
"It's a lot of work to prepare," she said. "It's pretty hard because the steps are new to me, but it will all be worth it in the end."
Chevrier will head to rehearsals to practice with the cast for three days in late January before the show debuts Feb. 1.
Tickets to see Dance Star range in price from $44.30 to $72.55 and can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.ca. Since the show is inside the casino, entrance is limited to those 19 and older.

Ubaldo Jimenez wasted no time in showing what he thinks about the face of the Colorado Rockies. With his first pitch, he drilled Troy Tulowitzki in the back, dropped his glove and enticed Tulo to charge the mound.The benches cleared and Tulo left with an apparent elbow injury.Everyone knows the history. Jimenez, jealous of Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez's contract extensions, came to camp mad. He wanted out of Colorado. Feeling that the team had slapped him in the face, he felt betrayed.After Jimenez tanked the 2011 season and was traded to Cleveland, the war of words began.Rockies fans anger has quickly turned towards Jimenez after Sunday's events. However, maybe the situation points to some deeper issues.Make no mistake, Jimenez has been extremely immature in the situation. He has shown his true colors. He has shown why a guy with his talent took so long to make it to the big leagues, and why he took so much time becoming dominant. He shows that he holds grudges and he sho...

Asian equities rose on Wednesday following better-than-expected U.S. growth data but Japan underperformed on the back of a stronger currency.» Read More
The Dow closed lower on Friday after General Motors reported hefty losses and new data showed U.S. employers cut jobs for the seventh straight month.
When we decide to make the switch away from dirty, environmentally unfriendly oil, these companies will help make it happen.
Stocks started the month off with a decline as a rise in oil and larger than expected loss from General Motors rekindled worries about the economy.
Lots of volatility, but major indices flat for the week: Dow down 0.4 percent, S&P up 0.2 percent, NASDAQ flat.
The stocks are showing only modest reaction to poor sales. Bulls will cite this as evidence that even a GM (down 5 percent, modest compared to its awful report) may be bottoming; bears say the outlook is so cloudy this could get even worse for them.
Forget capitulation -- it's time to buy equities! Arthur Cashin of UBS offers CNBC a sample of what traders are saying -- straight from the trading floor.
U.S. auto sales tumbled in July, reflecting a deepening downturn in the industry, with tight credit and weak consumer confidence driving General Motors, Ford Motor and Toyota Motor to post double-digit declines.
We knew GM's second quarter earnings would be ugly, but I'm not sure many people expected this kind of number. Certainly Wall Street didn't since the estimate was for GM to lose $1.489 Billion. Turns out Gm's loss was 4 times worse: $6.3 Billion.
Automakers are expected to report on Friday that U.S. auto sales fell for a ninth consecutive month in July, as the industry hits its worst showing in 15 years.
With GM on the verge of soon exporting Buick Enclaves to China, I'm reminded of the people who e-mail me on a regular basis about "China sucking the life out of the American automakers." That's a paraphrase, but you get the point.
Plus, why we need to get rid of the ethanol mandate – now.
The signs are not good. From Chrysler's decision to stop leasing cars, to its recent decisions to cut staff and close plants, to its lack of major new product announcements, there is little of late inspiring confidence that this company can stage a comeback...
General Motors trailed Japanese rival Toyota Motor in global vehicle sales decisively through the second quarter and first half of the year, hurt by a large decline in North America.
Toyota Motor may cut its 2008 global vehicle sales target by as much as 350,000 units to about 9.5 million because of declining sales in the United States, Japan and Europe, according to news reports.
Asian markets seesawed Wednesday with investors uncertain about global growth prospects, the state of the financial sector and volatile oil prices. Japan finished flat, South Korea fell but Australia gained over 1%.
Toyota Motor will cut its global sales target for calendar 2008 by 3.6% to 9.5 million vehicles to reflect a sharp slowdown in the United States, Japanese national broadcaster NHK said on Wednesday.
The Dow chart looked like a yo-yo Thursday as traders pounded financials including Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers and oil prices surged more than $5 a barrel. Still, all three major indexes eked out gains by the closing bell.
The Dow chart looked like a yo-yo Thursday as traders pounded financials including Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers, overshadowing any positive news the market had to offer.
Stocks flipped and somersaulted Thursday as investors juggled worries about capital constraints at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a drop in jobless claims, merger activity and encouraging retail sales.
I've said it for some time, and will continue to say it to anyone who asks. The flexibility Asian automakers have to build different vehicles in different plants is the reason they'll ride out this tough time better than the Big 3.

'Newsroom's' Terry Crews Joins Fox's Cop Comedy From 'Parks and Recreation' Duo
He'll play a cop alongside "Saturday Night Live" alum Andy Samberg in the pilot from Mike Schur and Dan Goor.
After fielding multiple offers, The Newsroom's Terry Crews has made his decision.
The actor, who received three offers in the young pilot season, has joined the cast of Fox's cop comedy from the creators of Parks and Recreation, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
STORY: TV Pilots 2013: The Complete Guide
Crews, who plays Jeff Daniels' sweet bodyguard on the HBO drama, will play Sgt. Terry Jeffords in the untitled Mike Schur/Dan Goor comedy, joining a cast that includes Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg.
Crews will play the no-nonsense captain of a diverse squad of detectives at a New York precinct. Described as being built like an NFL linebacker -- but stronger -- his character used to be a great cop but has lost some of his edge now that he has a family.
Crews, repped by WME, will continue to recur on Newsroom and recently wrapped Tyler Perry's feature Single Moms Club. He'll also appear in Netflix's upcoming Arrested Development.
Goor and Schur will write and exec produce alongside David Miner, with Samburg also producing the Universal Television and 3 Arts single-camera comedy. 21 Jump Street's Phil Lord and Chris Miller are set to direct the pilot. Lord and Miller are repped by UTA.
The project is one of six comedy pilots picked up at Fox so far this pilot season.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Arizona Cardinals try out TE Jake Ballard
The Arizona Cardinals may be looking to add to their tight end depth.
According to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post, the team recently tried out Jake Ballard.
Ballard has been working his way back tull strength following micofracture knee surgery and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction that he underwent last year.
Ballard spent last year with the Patriots on injured reserve and was waived by the AFC East franchise in August.
Ballard, 25, spent the first two years of his career with the New York Giants, where he caught 38 passes for 604 yards and four touchdowns. A 6-foot-6, 256-pound player, he was originally undrafted out of Ohio State but quickly became a key contributor for the team.

and another year has passed! :p
Yes, it's October once again dear readers! Do this barely updated wedding blog still has readers? Haha! Anyway, as per tradition, here's a "quick" round-up of our wedding anniversary celebration this year :)
The girls woke us up at 530am (gahhh) and we had no choice but to wake up also and prepare breakfast~ using *just* a microwave. The result? A surprisingly good fritatta! Then it was time for an early morning swim around 630. Thank god the water was not cold! Hihi!
(MIDDLE PICS) 9am: mass in SM Lanang Premier atrium then off to the Exotic Animals Encounter in the musical fountain grounds! Will make another Instagram post on this as we have lots of pics of the exotic animals. Yes, that's a humongous tarantula above! And there were a LOT of them!!
11am: early lunch in Cellar de Boca where we had our Salutti fave, beef salpicao. Still sooo garlicky good and tender! CdB is owned by the same team behind Salutti in Rizal St :) Another must-try #WhenInDavao so don't miss it! The one pictured above isn't the salpicao but the cheery-looking Arroz ala Cubana, hihi! Sorry! Then we were off to SM Science and Discovery Center's planetarium show "Universe". Needless to say, there were a lot of "wows" from the girls The center has been renamed Exploreum. Aside from SM Lanang, there's one in SM Mall of Asia too.
(BOTTOM PICS) 1pm: back to Crown Regency Residences for the kids' naptime (and ours too! haha). This is where we stayed for 3d/2n for our anniversary staycation Around 4pm, my baby nephew dropped by and the kids went swimming again :) For dinner, my in-laws treated us to Buffet Palace (where they also celebrated a colleague's birthday; that's their pic above) in Victoria Plaza. And to my surprise, my dear friend back in med school was there! Hi Dax!! It was great seeing you again!! Yes that's our selfie above, hihi!
Trivia: BP is the first buffet restaurant in Davao City. There's a lot more buffets here now but the resto still has loyal patrons. Also, VP is Davao's first mall! It opened when I was still in grade6, imagine that!
To cap off our busiest day ever, my BFF and her fam dropped by our hotel room. My girls and her kid, of course, played and played while us moms were busy trading chikas. Hihi! And to answer your unasked question, no, hubby and I didn't have any romantic date to celebrate our anniversary at all. LOL! But that's just fine. There's a season for everything and right now, it's the season to enjoy our young daughters..

hello October!!
October has always been a big month for our family ~ it's the time when we celebrate our wedding anniversary, our couple anniversary, and hubby's birthday ^__^ For the past four years, we celebrate October by traveling. On our first year (2009), we went to Hong Kong and Macau. I was 4 months pregnant with our first child then. On our second year (2010), we went to Taipei; this time with a 6 month old baby in tow. It still remains as our best family vacation! Good food, good people, cheap prices. Gotta love Taiwan! :)
On our third year (2011), I was 4 months pregnant with our second child while taking care of a hyperactive 18-month old. This time we didn't travel outside of the country (have to save money for my second delivery) and opted to just have a staycation in Ortigas ~ a new place for us to hang out in Manila as we often stay in Makati. Little did we know that our Ortigas vacay is a preparation for our new life come October 2012. God really has a funny way of giving you a glimpse of His plans for your life ;-)
One week from now, Labsie and I will celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary (2013). No travel plans this time, not even to Manila, as our finances are a bit tight. Who knew that tuition fee for toddlers are as much as 40k a year?!! Migosh! And we have 2 kids!
And so, most of our hard-earned money this year went to kids' education fund. None went to our travel fund, boohoo! So what are our romantic anniversary plans given we're "stranded" in Davao? We'll probably eat out (fine dining perhaps?), catch a movie (in the luxurious GMall cinema), have some time off from the kids, be (just) a couple once again.. I just hope hubby has extra money for all of these! Haha!

13 years of US ^__^
Unlucky 13? Nahh, more like whirlwind 13! ;-) I know I have not been updating this blog for quite some time now and it's all because of our hectic family life. After 4 years of marriage, we now have two kids-- and one is in her terrible twos stage. If you're a parent, you know what this entails, hehe! Also, we have just relocated temporarily to our country's capital. No family to help us with the kids, and no helpers or nannies as well. Between the 2 kids, the big move, and settling in, I really have no time to blog.
But just for today, I'll forgo a few minutes of sleep and blog! Why? Because today is our 156th couple monthsary a.k.a. 13th anniversary of our bf-gf relationship-- hurray for us! ^__^ And since my parents are not around to babysit our kids, we just brought them along to our dinner date earlier this evening (second pic: the collage). Yeah, not really very romantic, hehe! But it's all good coz we had an awesome fourth wedding anniversary a week ago sans the kids (first pic). See how beautiful we look? That's because we didn't have kids to watch over / feed / entertain while we reconnected as husband and wife :)
To my Labsie, my husband and father of my babies, I love you! Here's to more monthsaries and happy years together!

we're having a second baby!!
As you can see, I'm still addicted to Google Plus. If you haven't joined already, do so now! It's a great place to connect with people who have the same interests as you :) If you're planning a wedding, looking for wedding suppliers and wedding inspiration, you can find like-minded people in G+. And since this is powered by Google, the search function is awesome!! Try this one for an awesome pink wedding <-- click!
But I digress.. The main point of this post is to announce our second pregnancy ;-) Yep, we're pregnant again folks!! That explains my lack of updates the past few weeks (along with my G+ addiction) as I was in the first trimester, i.e. nausea and dizziness whole day and night *sigh* BUT, that's all over now! I'm now in the second trimester and full of energy so hopefully I can blog more :)

Sorry I have been MIA for the past 2 months. I've been busy with the newest social network in the block -- Google Plus! We also call it Google+ and G+ :) It was in closed beta (invite-only) since June 28, 2011 but this week, it opened to the public. Thus, here I am inviting you to join the world's best (IMHO) social network! See you there! ^__^

Hehehe! :p Seriously, you can tell who I am by going here: gplus.to/melissasolito ^__^ Everything that I am is on the right side of the ABOUT page. Thanks for being with me the past 30 days! Can't believe I finished a 30-day blogging challenge.. I hope it's a sign that I'm now able (and mature enough) to finish projects in a timely manner now that I'm 30 years old, married, and a mother to one toddler ;-) Thanks again Wilkin for coming up with this 30-Day Challenge!

Birthday Challenge Day 29
My first immediate goal is to wean Iya, she has been breastfeeding (BF) for 16 months now and showing NO signs of slowing down! Which is weird since she's *finally* okay drinking non-human milk (from cup) and eats solid food very well. I don't know if she's just clinging to BF for comfort or she's just simply not yet ready to wean (I believe in baby-led weaning). This first goal of mine is the most important coz I can't proceed to my other future goals if this is not done.
After Iya is weaned, I will *finally* go into residency ~ this is the specialty training for medical doctors that usually lasts for 3-5 years, depending on the hospital and type of specialty chosen. I love anything related to the human nervous system (brain, spinal cord, etc) and would love to be a neurologist! But since I'm a very hands-on type of mom, I have to find a less busy / toxic / stressful specialty to train in so I would have time to be with Iya during her childhood :)
My ultimate goal is to keep our family intact, stay happily married to Labsie and to see Iya grow up to be a beautiful person inside and out. My other plans include going to space (!!!), go on a Disney cruise with my family, travel to the Old World and have enough money to pig out on their gustatory delights. YUM! Hehe!

Birthday Challenge Day 28!
This is easy! Hehe! Physically, I really like guys with big and brooding eyes, the kind that draws you in their depths. Labsie's eyes are like that, hehe! A strong looking body (but not really muscled) and nice smile also attracts me. But what attracts me most to a guy is his gift of gab, i.e. he can hold long-winded conversations with me. The topics? Anything under the sun! I don't like one-trick pony guys, like jocks who only talk about sports or nerds who just talk about books. I want to talk about anything and everything so it's best if you have many interests and passions ^__^

Home News Local News OPB tunes in to grant
OPB tunes in to grant
By Dick Mason
Observer Staff Writer
Many local Oregon Public Broadcasting viewers may soon have little need for the rabbit ears on their sets.
OPBs signal will be much easier to pick up because of a more powerful $218,595 transmitter that will be installed on Mount Fanny above Cove. OPB has received an $87,438 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerces National Telecommunication Information Agency for purchase of the transmitter for KTVR, La Grandes OPB station.
Oregon Public Broadcasting will provide the balance from its membership contributions.
A letter-writing campaign by public television viewers in Union County is a key reason why the federal grant was obtained, said Mel Waggoner of Oregon Public Broadcasting.
OPB received about 220 letters and e-mails from Grande Ronde Valley residents that pressed for the new transmitter. This was far beyond what Waggoner expected.
It really had a tremendous impact, he said. Everybody thought, Wow, they (the people of Union County) are pretty neat.
Waggoner said that a party saluting Union County-area residents for their support of the translator replacement project will be held this spring in La Grande.
The new transmitter will replace the 17-year-old, 1,600-watt one now on Mount Fanny.
It was becoming unreliable, said Everett Helm, director of engineering for OPBs radio frequency systems.
Helm added that it was getting difficult to find replacement parts for the transmitter because of its age. This was a major reason why new equipment was needed.
The transmitter will have a power of between 6,000 and 10,000 watts, depending on the model
The greater wattage will improve the sound and picture quality for those now receiving OPBs signal. The transmitter will also enable more people to receive OPB in the valley, Helm said.
OPBs stronger signal will be less vulnerable to heavy rain, electronic interference and other things that affect the signal, he added.
It (the new transmitter) will stabilize coverage, Helm said.
The KTVR transmitter also serves Baker County with the help of a translator relay network. Helm said that the new transmitter will improve reception for OPB viewers in Baker County.
The transmitter could also improve OPB reception in Wallowa County. This is because KTVRs Mount Fanny signal is relayed from Elgin to Enterprise and the signal should be stronger.
KTVRs signal does not go directly into Wallowa County because of the mountainous terrain east of Mount Fanny. Such obstacles block television signals.
OPB will receive the new transmitter for KTVR in about a month. Installation of the equipment will begin in June or July. Work cannot begin sooner because the Mount Fanny transmitter site is difficult to reach for at least six months because of snow.
There are lots of years when we cant drive in until the Fourth of July, Helm said.
He hopes to have the transmitter installed by late July. The electronic device will be about the size of 1 1/2 refrigerators.

This year's theme for Catholic Schools Week sums up what Holy Family School is all about, Principal Karen Moeder said. The theme is, "Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service." which echoes the mission statement at Holy Family School,"We learn. We love. We serve."
Two Great Bend residents were treated for carbon monoxide exposure Wednesday evening, Fire Chief Mike Napolitano said. Great Bend police officers entered the apartment building at 3900 Forest Ave. around 6 p.m., and they found Brenda Pardee, 60, and Charles Morgan, 55, on the floor.
Barton Community College officials may look at expanding student housing in the future, in light of a report presented last week to the board of trustees.
The Barton Community College "Almost Actors" improv duo, David Burdett and Chelsea Gotschall, were winners of Habitat for Humanity's "Barton County's Got Talent," Saturday at Grace Community Church. Ashley Dowgwillo and J.D. Smith were the runners-up in the competition with their musical skit.
Barton Community College President Dr. Carl Heilman will join three other community college presidents in advising legislators on the state's next funding model for higher education.

Friendship Bread is a baking tradition that works best when shared - an edible chain letter of sorts. Someone prepares a cup of Friendship Bread Starter, places it a one-gallon resealable "zipper" bag and delivers it to a neighbor. If the neighbor follows the instructions, in 10 days he or she will have four cups of batter - one to bake and three to give away.

Pending a ruling on the bylaws, the Great Bend Noon Kiwanis Club is ready to commit $12,000 toward the purchase of a color LED sign for the new Great Bend Sports Complex.
The Great Bend version of the NBA - the Noon Basketball Association - started more than 35 years ago, when a few businessmen began to meet at the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium gym over the noon hour to play basketball.
For more than 30 years, some Great Bend men have started their mornings or spent their noon hours at the Municipal Auditorium, enjoying a game of pickup basketball in the gym. Now participants from the Great Bend Recreation Commission's morning and noon basketball programs want to give something back – and establish a hall of fame, local attorney Chuck Pike said.
DeleteMark and Krista Ball were named the 2014 Great Bend Greater Award recipients during a rare evening meeting of the Noon Kiwanis Club, Thursday at Montana Mike's. In addition to recognizing the couple for their commitment to community service, the club gave away more than $1,500 to area organizations to celebrate its 75th anniversary.
Barton Community College officials voted on bids as quickly as they could, but there was no way to rebuild the dining hall at BCC's Camp Aldrcih before June 1, 2015. So, the popular venue for weddings, camps and other business or social gatherings will remain closed for another summer, due to the fire that destroyed the dining hall last April.
A Gus Shafer sculpture that was never completed will grace the space outside the gallery that bears his name in the future, said Dave Barnes, director of the Shafer Art Gallery in the Fine Arts Building at Barton Community College.
Area residents may be sipping wine for an adult-only evening next year in the Great Bend-Brit Spaugh Zoo, according to Zoo Director Scott Gregory.

Live theater choices abound this weekend in Barton County. Adults seeking to quench their thirst for laughter should save at least one night for the Great Bend Community Theatre production, "Beer for Breakfast."
It was kind of exciting to post "I survived the Kansas earthquake of Nov. 12, 2014," on Facebook and Twitter, but it turns out earthquakes are becoming rather common in the Wheat State.
Salina firm Harbin Construction won the bid to build a new dining hall for Barton Community College's Camp Aldrich. The original dining hall was destroyed by a fire last April.
Members of the Great Bend Zoological Society had a lot to celebrate at their annual meeting, Monday night at the Great Bend-Brit Spaugh Zoo. But members were also saddened by last week's announcement that Zoo Director Scott Gregory will be leaving at the end of the year, to accept a job in Florida.
The Great Bend Recreation Commission is offering seventh- and eighth-grade basketball for the first time this fall. Sports Director Chris Umphres said enrollment has begun for boys and girls, and will continue for two weeks.
Barton County saw several accidents involving deer over the weekend, continuing a trend that began in October. Kansas Highway Patrol reports deer activity on and near Kansas roadways always poses a seasonal traffic hazard during deer-breeding season, which starts in October and runs into December.

The Lower 9th Ward Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development (CSED)
The CSED project in New Orleans, LA is now a Kickstart campaign project. Please take a minute to review their campaign:
The CSED project in New Orleans, LA has been named the 2014 Greenbuild Legacy Project and is coming together in time for the 2014 Greenbuild conference. You can tour this residence and others, including the "Make It Right" Foundation homes located in the Lower 9th Ward, during the Greenbuild conference in New Orleans.
There are also several sessions being presented by the board members of Historic Green and we would love to see you there. For more info about Greenbuild 2014, please click HERE. For a larger image of the home on the left, click HERE.
Wouldn't it be interesting to take three nearly identical homes, all in a state of disrepair, and rebuild them in staged retrofits using different materials so that they could be compared post-construction?
What if all three of these homes were slated to also become LEED® for Homes Platinum?
Plus, what if these home were rebuilt among some brand new LEED® Platinum homes for even more comparisons?
This apparently will be the case with the new KC ART House 3x project. More on this coming soon...
Here are some hard, yet real life, questions to answer:
What can be done about the foreclosed, abandoned and/or dilapidated homes, apartment buildings and other residential structures?
How can a person go about getting a residential retrofit that is effective yet economical?
Stay tuned while we answer these questions and more...
Actually and seriously, if a person has money or is able to obtain financing then the aspect of taking on a residential retrofit project is normally not overly daunting.
However, if a person has been negatively affected by the recent downturn in the economy (and many people have) then what methods or options do they have to make their primary residence more comfortable, safe, healthy and energy efficient?
HistoricGreen.org has been perplexed by these very same questions but is in a position to determine the answers.
Are you interested in learning more about how HistoricGreen.org will use this affordable residential retrofit to learn about the pros and cons of these improvements? Please click on the following link to access the article:

The ongoing availability of fresh, clean water is a growing concern all over the world.
In the western USA, severe water shortages are looming on the horizon, along with the smoke from all the seemingly endless fires.
In the midwest the concern about availability of water during and after a disaster is more prevalent. Most people are aware that it takes energy to move water through the pipes and deliver it to your tap. If the energy stops then so does the flow of water. Not good...

Ocean City, MD
- k
- katejensen90 Jan 25, 2010 07:59 AM
In a couple of weekends, I am heading to Ocean City Maryland for a girls weekend. Anybody have any recommendations for bars/restaurants besides the typical Green Turtle. Seacrets, etc...
Search the board - you will find many valid threads. .. The second floor of the place where Burger King used to be on the boardwalk was a nice surprise for me last summer. I didn't eat, but a great spot for drinks - especially if it is cold. Always hard to guess what is open this time of the year.
re: foster
Try Liquid Assests - good bar scene, good food.
re: rcooperman
Agree wholehearedly with this. Totally different style than most of Ocean City - it's a great wine bar, and a great place to grab a snack or a light dinner. If you're in your early 20s you might not be into the crowd, although it varies, but if you're early 30s, you'd probably love it. It's about as opposite from Seacrets as you could really get.
My husband and I are 30, and we really liked it as a place to kick things off and grab a snack before heading out to rowdier places, and, yes, we did end up at Seacrets at the end of the night.
re: flavrmeistr
We frequent the location at 94th St whenever we're in OC. Lots of locals there too.
Another good bar is Smitty McGee's in Fenwick Island.
re: shorty40cdm
It probably was 97th. We were staying at the Hilton. Sat in the hotel bar for 15 minutes and never saw a soul. We gave up and drove north until we saw a full parking lot. Bull on the Beach was it. A lucky shot in the dark. We liked it so well we went back the next night.
Fager's Island and Secrets will probably be the best two places this time of year. I have always enjoyed Big Peckers for a inexpensive lunch that is a bit better than the typical fast food. Cast aways is also pretty decent and i'm not sure if fish tales is still open this time of year.
re: AlexDer
Check out Tequila Mockingbird for great margaritas and good apps at the bar.
We have always enjoyed La Hacienda, next to South Moon Under. They served a 'Neptune Burrito' that was stuffed with shrimp, lump crab, and scallops...quite tasty. Good margaritas, too. Nantucket's, right on the edge of Fenwick Island, is delicious. Nothing earth-shatteringly unique, but quality 'New American'.
re: matt8313
We stopped at this place, but it was closed, as it was between Christmas and New Years. I'll put it on the list
It depends on what is more important to you - bar/drinks, atmosphere, good food, view...
Seacrets, is good for some bar food and the drinks and atmosphere is pretty good, in the winter they have pretty good HH specials. Fagers - when there's live entertainment can be pretty good, food is hit or miss, and so is the service in the restaurant. If you don't mind that, then it's cool. Turtle's always good for non-pretentious bar scene. Burger is great, and so is most of the bar food.
If you want something a little fancier, try Galaxy 66. It's probably too cold for the rooftop bar, but they have a nice bar indoors, pretty tasty eats, as well and happy hour specials.
Fish Tales is a good spot as well, kind of like how Seacrets was before they became Disneyworld for adults huge.
The Globe in Berlin (about 20 mins. away) is a cool place, check out their live entertainment. It changes, but there's almost always something.
And if you're checking out Berlin, there's the Tea by the Sea as well, if you're looking for something to do in the afternoon, not sure about Winter hours though. The bar at the Atlantic Hotel was a good spot when it was Solstice, but I haven't been by since the folks from Fagers took it over, I think the bar is probably still a cool hangout, but food is probably eh. I'd probably go to the Globe if you're asking.
Sunset Grille in West OC is nice as well. Waterfront, good food, nice bar.
I've heard positive things about Liquid Assets as well.
If you have actual places in mind, list them up and I'll try my best to answer if I know something about it. Have fun!
re: cakewalk
Sunset Grille is enormously popular with locals.

Eugene getting brewery district
|| Print |
|High Five
|Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Lane County's three leading breweries are all planning expansions in Eugene's Whiteaker neighborhood.
Ninkasi Brewing Co., Lane County's biggest brewery and the 32nd-largest craft brewer in the United States, plans to more than double its production capacity to 200,000 barrels, with a $15 million addition on a lot immediately west of its facility at 272 Van Buren St., CEO Nikos Ridge said.
Oakshire Brewing is in the process of buying an 11,000-square-foot building at 225 Madison St., co-founder Jeff Althouse said. The building is listed as valued at $575,000, and Oakshire plans to spend $500,000 remodeling the space for barrel aging, warehouse, offices and a tasting room, with a target of opening for Thanksgiving, he said.
And Hop Valley Brewing Co., which operates a brewery and brew pub in Springfield's Gateway area, plans to add production space and a tasting room early next year at 990 W. First Ave., which housed Scharph's building materials, Hop Valley owner/partner Jonas Kungys said.

Lots of models. Lots of prices. Do you get this year's version, or get last year's at a discount? Let's weigh the options.
In the wake of feeble demand for its Fire Phone, Amazon is running a fire sale for the device via a special limited promotion.
The company's line of full-frame cameras grows to four models, with permanent price drops for some of the existing models.
For Black Friday, Walmart will discount select Neeto robot vacuums, Dyson uprights, and Ninja personal blenders.

We get to grips with the Honor 6, a 5-inch Android smartphone with dreams of occupying your pockets.
The 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4 offers decent performance and a nice screen at a fairly low price.
The limited offer will net AT&T users 15 gigabytes of data for $100. It's the carrier's latest move to defend its customer base.
But sales will sink to under 50 million in the first quarter of next year, forecasts KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
The executive applauds Sprint's comeback efforts, but says its customers are mostly coming from AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

Hi!I'm considering to make "Spritzer mod" to my SRM-727II. But I wondering, how does this mod affect to upper midrange sound? My ears are quite sensitive to peaks of these frequencies, and my unmodded SRM-727II + SR-009 combo have just right upper midrange level to my ears now.So, should I mod or should I leave SRM-727II as it is?post #21679 of 247654/6/13 at 3:27pm

I have only listened to that pair of SR-X MK3 Pro's for a short while but as soon as I put them on they go near the top of my list. I also have 404le's that get next to no head time. I think I can only judge the bass weight over bass depth the best and the SR-X pro's probably only come 2nd to the 007 mk1's. Even the 007's have significantly more bass weight than the 009's. I find both the 009's and the SR-X pro's bright and the SR-X pro's a little less refined and edgy compared to the 009's. Just a rough opinion.
I find some lack of refinement in the SRXIII Pro's, probably due to a loss in timbre compared to the Stax 007A. I have yet to hear the 009's. I don't find them especially treblish or sibilant. ( I hope that's not just my high frequency hearing crapping out with age. Possibly there is some difference between the original SRX's you have and my modded version ) However there strength is what seems like a total absence of coloration. I am hearing old material in a new
way. And, these phones compare well to other Staxen cost 5-10 times as much. Can you imagine what they might be like with a modern, 007/009 type of diaphragm?post #21680 of 247654/6/13 at 5:40pm

No fallout, business continues as usual.
For 009/007a/407/507- - Pricejapan. No need to look anywhere else. For older stax.. E-Bay and Rinkya/Kobuten (basically auctions.yahoo.jp, but they bid for you and ship the product to you for a fee). Of course getting there are various forum markets (head-fi, audiogon, etc).

So what's with the weird languages going on now? Anyway, something interesting to make note of and some of you might frown at me, but an E11 (high gain, 1 eq bass) + my CD950's really sound close and similar to my Lambda Pro's.

Headphones: SR-007mk2 with an additional thin cotton layer in front of the driver (earpad cavity) + partial blocking of the vents, SR-009 (stock form)
Amps: SRM 727II, SRM 007t2, Audiovalve RKV mk2 + Woo Audio WEE (using custom 1/4in headphone plug to bare wires to drive the wee from the rkv headphone out)
Source: audiomat (refer to previous post for more details)
CD: Stéphane Grappelli et Michel Petrucciani dans l'album Flamingo (a good quality recording but that can sound hard in the highs as well as turn to flabby / inconsistent bass with the wrong playback system)
First, listened to track 4 with the 727+ modded Omega 2: intimate soundstage (not very wide) ; bass is wholly and a bit disjointed (not easy to follow the bass lines), but the sound is well rounded (rather mellow sounding) ; violin and piano sound ok, delicate tones but a strange mixture of dark and bright sound at the same time. Indeed, lower mids are quite present, upper mids are rather attenuated, while we can easily hear some extra presence in the treble region which can lead to fatigue with this recording (a reason why I added a thin layer of cotton to my 007 after plugging the vent).
Next came the modded 007mk2 with the srm007t2. It's a little better than before in the sense the amp attenuates this tendency to get a sparkly treble with the previous headphone / amp combo. The tonality is also more refined. Image width is slightly larger, cleaner. Bass is a notch down in level, the sound isn't very lively but maybe the bass sounds a tiny bit tighter than through the 727. Overall, a more pleasing type of listening, with less fatigue, more refinment, but lacking in liveliness and impact. I prefer this combo slightly more than the previous one.
Now 727+009. It's a whole different experience. While the Omega 2 sounds slightly dark and rounded, the 009 sounds in contrast very clear and resolved ; it's almost day and night. First, the soundstage width is much larger and detailed than with the omega 2 (the 009 sounds more open). The 009 is much more dynamic sounding with tight and well resolved bass, in lesser quantity than the omega 2 but much cleaner. Extreme lows are also present. The sound is much more clear with much more realistic tonality for the violin and piano ; drums and piano sound impactful but unfortunately also a bit hard sounding at higher volume levels. The upper treble is less present, less sparkly than the 007, which in the end is less fatiguing and more natural sounding. The sound is more lively, dynamic, but with a tendency to sound a bit hard and rough when you push the volume.
Next the 009 with SRM 007t2. Well, it might be surprising but I prefer the association with the 727 amp (as long as you keep the listening level sufficiently low). The 007t2 leads to less bass presence which, even if very clean with the 009, does not pair so well because the headphone can feel a bit lean in the bass department already (especially when compared to the omega 2). Furthermore, the 007t2 rolls off the upper treble (in comparison to the 727), which works well with my modded Omega 2, but is unfortunate for the 009, since this phone does not have any particular issue in the highs. Tonality is however more refined with the 007t2, the 727 sounding a bit rough in comparison, but something is missing, some liveliness for instance.
Indeed, I find the 009-007t2 combo too polite, very refined but lacking severely in the liveliness, dull sounding. The sound is clean but a bit too clean for my taste. It's very audible for this CD: the experience with the 727 amp makes you want to tap the foot following the rhythm and increase the volume (until it starts to go south). It is a very lively rendering with good prat.
With the 007t2, you can easily increase the volume, but the sound remains dull (too clean, lacking edge). Disappointing.
Next, track 4 again with the modded Omega 2 and the rkv-wee. Soundstage width is increased and the modded Omega 2 is metamorphosed, as if transcended by the association with the rkv-wee.
The sound is very impactful, which finally wakes up the omega 2: powerful bass, with good foundation, and easy to follow. It induces foot tapping, you want to push the volume, there's life. Only issue is the upper treble, still too present, which can sound fatiguing at high listening level over time. Probably my modded Omega 2 isn't very neutral sounding with its rounded bass, attenuated upper midrange and sparkly highs.
At last comes the association 009 with rkv-wee. It's a combination of the best of each of the previous listenings. Soundstage is surprisingly large, compared to the modded Omega 2 as well as the 009/727 & 009/007t2 combos. It's lively, much much better than the 009/007t2 combo. The sound is powerful: bass and drums rhythm make you want to increase the volume. The louder it gets, the better it sounds, only the voice of reason makes me get back to reasonable level (no need to go death so early). But basically, there's no apparent ceiling, you can keep increase the volume and it keeps getting more lively.
In regards to tonality, the combo 009 + rkv-wee manages to keep the qualities of the 007t2 but with a more contrasted, lively, dynamic sound that can be both brutal at loud volume levels while also very soft and subtle on more intimate sections of the recording.
In summary, you can easily guess which system I preferred after this comparison...

Hey guys, Thinking about pulling the trigger on a BHSE/SR-009 combo since the price of Yen keeps falling and it seems like now is as good as a time as any to buy. Should I expect significant improvement coming from a Burson Conductor/LCD-3 combo?post #21690 of 247654/8/13 at 8:58am

No you shouldn't. That way, when the 009/BHSE do arrive, their comparative awesomeness will be all the more of a pleasant shock.Return HomeBack to Forum: High-end Audio Forum

Is anyone interested in discussing the Taylor family of Page Co.? Jeremiah Taylor b.1770 m. Lucy ___?, (probably)in Culpeper Co. ca 1795. Their son Valentine was b.1796. He married Mary ____?, and their son Thornton Hamilton Taylor was b.1811. Yes, that is not a misprint - Valentine was a father at a very young age!!! Thornton Hamilton Taylor married Mary Elizabeth Knight, daughter of John Knight. Among their many children was Benjamin Newton Taylor who married Frances Clift ca 1866, and among the children of B.N. and Fanny was Charles Thornton Taylor, who was the grandfather of my husband Lloyd C. Taylor. Some people believe that the wife of Valentine Taylor was Mary Jenkins. This may be true, but I have never been able to find any proof of it. Does anyone out there know anything about it?
