25th Annual Summer Spectacular ArtWalk
Thursday, July 10, 2014, 7pm-9pm
It's summertime's annual cool down in the Scottsdale Arts District hosted by the Scottsdale Gallery Association in partnership with the City of Scottsdale.
ArtWalkers can "chill out" as they "ArtWalk the Line" along Main Street and Marshall Way where dozens of fine art galleries will be busy with artist demonstrations, exhibit openings and special receptions.
The Scottsdale Arts District can be found just west of Scottsdale Rd. along Main Street and on Marshall Way north of Indian School Road to Fifth Avenue. There's plenty of nearby free parking, free trolley rides, great people watching and easy access to local hotels or famed Scottsdale eateries.
Thursday, July 10, 2014, 7pm-9 pm
25th Annual Summer Spectacular ArtWalk- it's the summertime's annual cool down in the Scottsdale Arts District. There will be Food Trucks on Marshall Way including Grilled Cheese Food Truck and Pho-King
Hosted by the Scottsdale Gallery Association in partnership with the City of Scottsdale.
Some highlights *this is not all the exhibits.
On The Edge Gallery
7050 E. 5th Ave
Hot, hot, hot is what Arizona is in the summer time. Step into On The Edge Gallery on Thursday evening, July 10th and escape the sizzling heat. Experience art that is so COOL, you'll be seriously chilling out in no time.
On The Edge's five featured "Hot Night ~ Cool Art" artists include Dave Bigelow, Julia Patterson, Allison Shock, Katie Stearns, and Linda Zeien. Mingle and munch while you chat with the artists. Some will be demonstrating how they create their really cool art!
Dave Bigelow, Wood Artist
Dave crafts exquisite, inlayed wooden crosses in his workshop on the edge of the unspoiled Sonoran desert. Gazing out into sacred landscape his hand is guided by inspiration and a sense of purpose. He feels he is living his calling, a calling which produces crosses that uplift the beholder. He chooses the finest hardwoods and crafts each creation to enhance the natural hue of the wood, intuitively knowing it will perfectly harmonize with its intended owner.
Julia Patterson, Pastel Artist
As a lifelong resident of the Southwest, my sensibilities are grounded in the colorful heat and warm tones of summer. The textural attributes of sanded paper and pastel sticks lend themselves to the arid magic of the desert, adobe, earth, boundless sky. I want to capture a moment that tripped some artistic trigger in me, and pastels afford me the freedom to express my delight in the Arizona summer.
Allison Shock, Clay Sculptor
From her tiny Three Star Owl studio near Papago Park, Arizona artist Allison Shock makes functional and sculptural clay pieces that look like they might jump off the table or bite. Convinced that hiking, birding, and gardening are great excuses for "getting out there and seeing who's around," Allison doesn't consider herself a wildlife artist, but rather an observer who takes notes in clay.
Katie Stearns, Oil Painter
"Miniature moments of cool" is how Katie describes her artwork for the Summer Spectacular ArtWalk. "Art can be so transporting," says Katie. "And, during Arizona's long, hot summer, if you can't physically get to cooler places, why not transport yourself through 'cool' art?! Katie enjoys painting still lifes, florals, landscapes, and portraits — both human and animal. Katie has been painting in oils since January of 2001.
Linda Zeien, Mosaic Artist
My life is in pieces…. glass pieces, that is! In 2010, I retired from a career as a physician to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming an artist. I have been doing mosaics full time since then. My training as a pathologist has helped me cultivate a keen visual sense and attention to minute detail and my mosaic pieces reflect this in the meticulous way in which they are made. I enjoy creating fun and whimsical designs and work almost exclusively with glass which provides me with a wide range of intense colors and the ability to cut pieces small enough to create fine detail. I feel as if I can practically "paint" with glass!
And, that's not all — On The Edge Gallery has a special "Hot Nights, Cool Art" gift promotion planned for the ArtWalk. On The Edge Gallery artists have painted a variety of terra cotta pots in their own unique, artistic styles. Here's how the gift promotion works: Customers making at least a $25 purchase can choose their favorite pot with an aloe plant inside it. Customers making at least a $50 purchase can choose any of the terra cotta pots — one with an aloe plant or one with the specially created "Art Flowers" in it. This is On The Edge Gallery's gift to customers!

Exhibition title: "SHINE"
Artist Statement below:
Since a very young age, I have had a deep desire to connect with people. Painting has been a way to bridge the raw energies of the subconscious and a way to communicate to the world.
I use acrylic to paint familiar objects that appear other worldly and mysterious. When I look at a blank canvas I see an invitation to bring an image to life. The process of painting is a reminder of the unknown and the ability to move forward regardless. There is something a mixture of fear and excitement and I always think to myself "one stroke at a time". My work has essentially become a meditative practice. I believe each piece reflects that for which I strive: seeing the universal connection to all things—beauty, clarity and simplicity in life.

Tesla Motors is already busy in the courts, filing a suit in New Jersey last week to appeal the direct-sales ban of its automobiles in that state. But now it's going to have to deal with the self-described "King of Lemon Laws," Vince Megna, in Wisconsin. Now that we think about it, this showdown was quite inevitable.
In a video that is obviously part one of who knows how many (view it below), Menga sets up his argument against Tesla because the Model S of a client won't start. Then, he picks up a cardboard George Clooney hitchhiker and goes off to file suit in Milwaukee County Courthouse with an assistant with duct tape on her mouth and "WTF" on her shirt. Subtle, Megna is not.
If that cardboard celebrity bit seems familiar to you, then perhaps you're thinking about the Justin Bieber standup that Megna used in his lemon lawsuit over the Fisker Karma. In fact, Megna is famous in the auto industry for fighting against automakers that he says make shoddy products. In this case, he claims Tesla sold a faulty Model S to a doctor in Franklin, WI. This doctor, Robert Montgomery, got his 2013 Signature Performance Model S in March 2013, and the car has been in the shop for more than 30 days since then. He has asked for his money back, but the automaker has apparently not responded. The nearest shop is in Chicago, so the car gets to ride in a flatbed back and forth, as you can see in the video below. Plus, of course, Megna's one-sided conversation with a fake George Clooney.
Tesla told AutoblogGreen it does not comment on pending litigation.

Best local bread for sandwiches the day after tomorrow
- twocents May 30, 2013 06:24 PM
I was thinking Acme, but open. The deal:
I really like salume + crusty bread sandwiches. My default is a baguette like Acme rustic. Main problem is that they go hard overnight and I've never had much luck with the various methods of reviving them. I'm looking for a bread or roll with texture that holds up for 24-48 hours without special attention. Do they exist?
Clearly, soft dinner rolls, commercial potato breads and King's Hawaiian do, but they're too soft.
The quicker you can get them into the freezer the better they will be when you want to use them. If I am having a party on a Sunday and I know that I can only get fresh rolls on Saturday, I buy them, bring them home, slice them, then rebag and freeze them. Then an hour or so before serving I let them thaw on racks or very briefly in a barely warm oven. This way you keep that good crust and tender inside. Actually I keep all of our breads in the freezer.
re: junescook
That is absolutely correct, and I thought everybody knew to freeze the bread. I freeze my loaves whole, in their paper bags enclosed in plastic (a shopping bag or garbage bag will do, it's only for a couple days) and slace when I'm ready. It only takes a few minutes to thaw, and it is perfect and fresh. Putting bread in the refrigerator is a very bad idea.
Ummm...I buy Acme rustic baguettes every week and am able to keep them fresh by covering the exposed end with a second paper bag and then sealing it in two plastics bands held tight with 1-2 rubber bands. After just a bit of gentle toasting, the bread comes out pretty soft (or as toasty as you like).
Toasting literally reverses the staling process at 140 degrees F (see Harold McGee's on Food and Cooking): http://www.examiner.com/article/why-d...
Most of my favorite breads are good the next day or day after.
Rustic baguettes (Thorough's purple baguette or Craftsman and Wolves' regular baguette) are better than white.
Be sure they were baked same day when you buy them; many outlets are selling you yesterday's baguette.
For sandwich bread, my favorite is probably Josey Baker's seed feast followed by his Wonder bread (available at The Mill on Divis). C&W has a pretty decent slightly sour levain. And Tartine's walnut bread is based on their country French loaf but holds up better. They'll sell you half a loaf.
I don't freeze or toast. I do keep cut side down on wood, and don't mind a little crunch. And if there's any left, I slice it thin and use as crackers or for French toast.
Good luck. The other thing worth experimenting with is a bread box. I have a plastic one I got at IKEA but even an inverted bowl might work.
My fav is the rustica baguette from La Farine, which is open 7 day a week. I usually go to the Fruitvale location, which is a baking location -- easy off I-580, easy parking in the CVS / Farmer Joe's lot. -- even though the Piedmont Ave. shop is closer to me.
All the best breads will last several days. If it's going stale quickly, try buying it somewhere else.
I keep my bread in the fridge overnight sometimes, and that helps it keep.
I'd suggest visiting Bi-Rite's bread section where everything's pretty fresh and looking for Firebrand's sour Baguette with it's char similar to a good wood burning pizza crust, Acme's Sour Batard, or any of the Josey Baker breads (also available from his shop, The Mill), or visit a Boudin for their 6" sandwich rolls, or Tartine for their country bread with a spongey crumb that lasts, or finally Outerlands for their bread. I also like Wedemeyer sour baguettes for sandwiches, available at Parkside.
Thanks for your replies.
Clearly, freshness is part of the issue for my regular baguettes. Acme and La Farine have been my mainstays, but the former I usually get from Berkeley Bowl or Whole Foods at the end of the day. However, I recently picked up baguettes from the Berkeley Cedar/San Pablo bakery and they were noticeably hard the next afternoon and rock hard the next morning. I have similar experiences with La Farine which I pick up on College or Piedmont.
To clarify: what crusty breads will still be at least somewhat pliable at 48 hours without special treatment? Or are those qualities somewhat inconsitent with long shelf life? I don't actually by that much bread and have not explored that widely beyond baguette, so I don't actually know or understand the variation. I was thinking some kind of italian style with oil in the dough might be better, but I'm not sure what that would be. Ciabatta?
re: twocents
I agree that ciabatta might be a better choice than a plain baguette, since the oil will help keep it from drying out. Any bread that's just flour, water and yeast is going to be rock in a couple of days.
For the same reason, olive bread holds up for several days and makes delicious sandwiches!
re: Ruth Lafler
Josey Baker at The Mill also bakes an olive bread. All of his breads are wonderful and stay fresh for days - Windy's selections of the Wonder Bread or seeded loaf are good choices, too.
Acme levain holds up very well in a tightly closed paper bag. I cut the dried-out edges off and toast slices, lasts for four or five days.
If you want to eat a baguette two or three days after buying it, put it in a zipper plastic bag in the refrigerator, then heat it up in a toaster oven.
Any baguette just stored in paper will be stale the next day (but good toasted or revived with tricks such as McGee's) and rock-hard the day after that (good only for cooking).
In my experience, Josey Baker loaves hold up better than Acme or La Farine. I keep them in paper the first night and then paper within plastic. Maintaining first-day crust is just about hopeless, and baguettes don't last. Toasting does wonders, though.
I've had some good luck with Acme ciabatta rolls. One trick is to run a day-old roll under the faucet, just a quick rinse, then heat it up. The water will revive the texture.
If you like Acme baguettes for sandwiches, try the batard, which is a fatter, squatter formed loaf. There is a better crumb to crust ratio so I find it lasts longer than the baton shaped baguette.
re: absc
What are Bar Tartine's sandwich shop loaves like? I've had their rye etc. only toasted in dishes at dinnertime.
Tartine Bakery really makes only one loaf. The variations are the same dough as used in the plain "country" loaf with olive, sesame, or walnuts added. That bread does hold up very well for a few days, though it's a huge loaf and kind of a pain to buy.
re: Robert Lauriston
They were doing a porridge bread for a while that was very flavorful and stayed moist for days.
A trusted friend on twitter recently raved about their Koji Polenta Loaf, but I have not tried it.
re: Robert Lauriston
"a huge loaf and kind of a pain to buy."
Un grande pain.
re: Robert Lauriston
Only downside to Tartine's country bread for sandwiches, is that it can be difficult to cut evenly.
re: hungree
who sells it?

Pass the (data) potato
You still get the issue of packet hot potato where customers' packets go careening off into random places so ISPs can pass off the packet to someone with a peering agreement or play hot potato until someone bites the data bullet. There's a reason they affectionately call Philadelphia "Comcast Country".

Youtube is synonymous with crappy webcam videos, overused memes and, for the most part, unintelligent uploads.

It's a nice move, but... keep it separate from the entirety of youtube.

Dear God, if only I believed that laws like that could be passed.

I am almost certian that such laws will never be passed in the US, as the companies (seem to me) be the greediest bastards, thinking they're still innovating, when they don't do anything, and claiming a buck for it. Most of the big companies were innovators at one time, but now, in their monopolies they are complacent with doing nothing and suffocating competition with mountians of cash.

Tiny computer stores > warehouses
Just like most of everyone here (I hope), I build my own computer and shop between 4 stores to get the best price on each part. There is one store near me though that I wish there was more of. It's a small shop in one of those buisness office complexes where each section gets x amount of space. The guy who owns it has two and has random parts and computers for "fallen off the truck" prices. A 2.2 GHz computer with 512 ram is only $220, IBM thinkpads for only $300, and really really old machines lying around with their 5 and a half inch floppys. You have to use concious effort not to drool. I got a 24 port Cisco switch for $32 bucks, and it was in great condition. I just wish there were more tiny stores like that, than the huge warehouses of overpriced sh!t.

Canadian Taser death caught on camera
Taser != Magic Bullet
The problem here is the police think, like all uninformed/stupid (classify 'em how you like) people, that new technology are magic bullets and foolproof. When electronic keys for cars came out (most of them are rfid, I think, but I'm not sure), insurance companies thought that now cars couldn't be stolen since they needed the original key. Some people, however, were able to obtain master keys and copiers, and stole expensive cars. When the owner tried to get their money, the insurance companies refused because they saw the keys as unstoppable.
The cops believe the crap the taser companies are feeding them, and think that they are not lethal, and should be used at every opportunity when facing a violent individual, as opposed to guns and batons. Little do they realize the implications and effects such a weapon has (I'm sure there are training programs, but when have training budgets ever been good?) and so they use them, believing that they are doing the right thing.
High voltage electricity does not exist naturally in humans. I'm assuming it's not a good thing for us; please stop believing in your magic bullet.
No email privacy rights under Constitution, US gov claims
Hooray! Project time not wasted!
I took a Java class last year and made a semi functioning String encryption program. It took a users string, converted it into Baudot binary (used in encryption and one time pads), generated a key (of any length), threw the key into Baudot and added the binary together. Then it converted it back into a string, which was all garbled. Then a user could send the message and key to the recipient, and they could decrypt using a backwards method.
The program had problems with symbols, so I scrapped the code after the class, but I did start working on it again recently. So now once I finish, I'll use that to keep my email private. I'll email the garbled text and text a prepaid phone the key. Brilliant!

@"Left Controls Media"
I am so tired of those that go shouting this because they feel the media isn't being nice enough to their side. It's the media's job to provide information, but the only information the common man/woman wants is juicy stories of corruption and wrong duing. Basically the media gets paid for making well know figures (Presidents, leaders, movie stars, etc) look bad. If we had a President who was a Democrat the media would be all over him and all the liberals would complain about the media being too conservative.
Sorry, but you don't "have" to read our comments. Also you don't have to read the Reg's story on the US Gov. You wanted to come to this story and shout how Americans < Brits. And just because YOU don't care doesn't mean other people don't care. The Register reports for US, England, and technical people around the world. I tired of the f*ing elitism on both sides. WE ALL SUCK!!!!
I'll get off my soapbox now...
Americans' interest rates plummet
Never thought I'd see a war bout this, but I guess Americans and the British have to fight over the "top dog" spot all the time. We're both the top countries in arrogence with our "our (country, culture, military, people, political system [insert one]) is better than yours" speaches every day of the week.
How one draws a conclusion about national curiosity from two statistics is beyond me. What about the old ways of searching encyclopedia's or asking people that are knowledgable in the field of intrest. What about unique searches, ones that don't have similar keywords? If Europeans each had 30 searches about a topic, but couldn't find what they were looking for until the 30th search then the research on "curiosity is skewed". How was the data collected? Was it by ip? What if millions of students and employees are searching behind a proxy? Wouldn't that make it seem as if they were all one person?
Honestly this debate is one of the stupider wars I've seen on The Register yet.
Vista Business sales soar like leaping dachshund
@Dave Edmondston
I read your comment and immediately thought of the "New" Coke marketing ploy that Coke ran. If I could credit such brillance to MS I would say that this was it, but I don't think so.
Earthlink cuts half its workforce
My friend will be pleased. His Earthlink "broadband" runs at roughly 40-50k. So with the work force cuts, I expect a speed of around 25-35k for him. Maybe he should switch back to dialup since his modem keeps disconnecting him every 30 minutes.
Dear God, why does the internet in the US need to be at the speed of a third world country? I'm paying AT&T for 1.5MBps and all I get is 160k. What are you foreign bastards getting?
Comcast throttles BitTorrent users
Re: I mean really, who gives a shit ?
Thank you Steve for your brilliant and uninformed opinion. I regularly use torrent files when getting Linux software (a lot faster than the HTTP downloads) and a lot of live CDs have torrents now.
God I love people who stereotype gamers. You're like Hillary Clinton, "I don't understand it so it must be bad!" approach. I agree that playing WoW isn't the best way to spend your time, but many would say the same thing about me and DnD.
Broadbandit nabbed in Wi-Fi bust
BOFH to the rescue
Now all we need to do is to some how bribe/get the number 1 BOFH to work in central government. Sure some tax dollars would be spent on computer parts for him, but you wouldn't get bad tech laws passed (He would block them by killing relevant emails and such...).
Even though I don't live in the UK I feel aghast at seeing this law. Even though we have one of the stupidest leaders of all time (see No Child Left Behind), I don't think we have that many overly outrageous tech laws (if I am wrong let me know, I might be breaking a few). I always make sure I encrypt my network with WPA though I don't hide the SSID (any script kitty with a brain can see hidden SSIDs).
Oh yes and I've seen so many unsecured routers with factory-default passwords and logins. I so should "help" them encrypt their network, don't you agree?
Microsoft finds good facts to sell Windows Vista
Dual Boot!!
When I am absolutely forced to get Vista for some utterly necessary piece of software or feature I'll get it until then XP is my main boot and I have a Linux drive I use somewhat, but not enough because lack of wireless driver support (ndiswrapper likes crashing when installed). I am planning that Vista would be a secondary install to be used only when necessary since it would slow my computer down so much. For everything else it'll be on the Linux drive, but that won't happen until I get 50ft of cat 5e cable or a wireless card that works with Linux, until then XP is my choice.
I wish M$ would add a deletion of Internet Explorer, though they never will. It seems to be the biggest hole for viruses and spyware and will never be secured and while it's there on my drive it's a liability. Sigh... can't wait until the M$ monopoly is destroyed with the main weapons of our fight: piracy, viruses, and Microsoft constantly screwing the consumer.
DHS forgets to mention border WiFi spy tower bungle
Mexican LotR
I was talking it over with a friend and we came up with the idea for a great movie if this came to the public eye (no one pays attention in America unless they're spoonfed news). It'd be hilarious if there was a LotR spoof and the towers were the eyes of Sauron and we'd have a fellowship. Now what would we do for the ring...
Hacking WoW and the pursuit of knowledge
I find the extremest comments partly humorous and partly enlightening. It's good to know what both sides think. I'm stuck in the middle. WoW is a horribly thought out game that tries to appeal to the masses that have been brainwashed into thinking WoW is cool. You cannot disprove that to me, I know people who have been sucked into that game, and few come back. However, the arguments against hacking or using hacks are very true. The act degrades the experience, however little of it there is in WoW, and frustrates the other players. I have experienced this and no words can express the amount of frustration, disgust, and anger I felt towards those that hacked.
In the end it is a grey area that this whole thing is in. The free servers are a good idea and no amount of blustering by Blizzard will get the sourcecode taken away. Script kitties are bothersome and terrible, but legitimate hackers who see if things are broke and try to get them fixed. Even if getting Blizzards attention means to give out the info on the bug and code to exploit it; companies don't like outside help for some reason.
In the meantime I'm sticking more to freeware games rather than pay to play games, as I have no reason to whine about what service I get, and usually the experience is better since there aren't as many people who cheat on those games.
Say goodbye to Office 2003, Microsoft tells PC builders
Not a Fanboy
Man don't you love flame wars? People bashing eachother on opinions neither can change with their "facts", very entertaining.
I find that older M$ products are better than the newer ones because they don't have BS features that require huge amounts of system resources. I tried Vista Beta RC2 and the full Vista release. Both caused my computer to run an idle speed with 512 MB out of 1GB of memory. I ran Office 2007 for a bit on my slower and crappier Dell (I did not buy it). It slowed the computer down so much I could not get Office and a simple browser window to run at the same time.
For me I run Office 2003 and Open Office. The only thing that frustrates me is that OpenOffice does not have good Power Point support and when my annoying teachers demand Power Point presentations I have to work on them at school.
Have fun screwing with my post ye fan boys.
Jet-powered go-kart roars onto eBay
Re: I want it
Yeah same here. I'd just get my friend to drive it, he has no common sense. Which is why I shouldn't cause he'd probably get himself killed.
And on the intake thing, yeah I noticed that myself. It'd be pretty ugly if someone built an imitation without intakes at all. Wouldn't the driver be sucked in? I'm no aerospace genius, but I think that's what would happen.
Can we have a proper study of Wi-Fi, please?
Thanks for the jokes, I got a few chuckles out of this one. When people go spouting uninformative opinions I want to get up and smack them like the good American I am. This "study" was done in the same fashion as is used in a diet fad, using words to convince the consumer to their opinion. And in their enitre study they downplayed all consumer products like TVs and Radios. Something tells me that these companies don't really want free TV to spread to the interntet (Joost, and others).
Microsoft squares up to Google with $6bn buy
Not more!
MS is already technically a virus using one of the definitions:
"A computer program with the ability to modify other programs usually to the determent of the computer system."
They edit themselves to hurt themselves, Vista takes up more system resources at idle than any one spyware or adware. Now they are also a virus and adware, just another reason to start a mob to storm Redmond. Now I need to go find where I put that pitchfork...
Downing Street rejects Vista petition
RE: Anti Competitive?
Why don't you leave a bunch of Ubuntu CDs in the store yourself? I don't see how you could get arrested for such a thing (though there could be some BS thing the cops could come up with). If we coordinated a movement of putting Ubuntu next to Vista on shelves it might put the pressure on M$ or the store to change. Just a thought...
Dell Linux is go
Re: Publicity stunt
Yes every single company is out for themselves, however, M$ is the most monopolistic of them all. With Dell, even if it is in desperation, striking a blow to the evil that is M$. If linux can get mainstream, then M$ will have to compete more and competition is good for consumers, which will either make M$ have their products at a better value (why pay $150 for a $75 product) or actually put time in to making their software.
Score: MS-1000 Open Source-1
This is the first big step to taking M$ down a notch. In my opinion M$ shouldn't die, it should just learn to compete. Some of the brightest work at M$ and if the company actually had to fight for business then all their products and services would get much better. All that infastructure and captital is too much to waste.
Here's to hoping other companies follow Dell in this. As long as the ordinary consumer has the option we'll have a chance.
Hotmail's antispam measures snuff out legit emails, too
Re: Wake up and smell the ros^H^H^Hfertiliser
"ANY site, and I really do mean ANY site, that does 'filtering' is going to have either false positive or false negatives or most likely both."
Well I'm betting M$ will start blocking all emails and claim it is better because it has no spam whatsoever. I use Gmail and have no problem with sites (though I do get college recrution email a lot) spamming me. I'd rather have false positives sent to my inbox than false negitives deleted for all eternity. If I have to email or recieve email for an important assignment like a midterm paper, I'm not going to want hotmail deleting willy nilly. If that did happen and I was unable to get into a job after college or recieved a low score I would so sue M$.
Owners of E-Gold indicted for money laundering
Re: Why am I not suprised ...
If Bush notices this he is going to take this as an example of terrorist supporters in the US and try to increase surveillance on suspected "terrorists". At least he's out in '08.
In response to your question, you probably guessed that this would happen sooner or later.
Peter Gabriel takes sledgehammer to music downloads (again)
Re: This is broken
Yes people have always found ways around DRM or other copyright protections, however, the masses aren't always the geekiest and audacity is fairly easy to learn, highlight and cut. With the ad cutoff being obvious it's no problem to snip it out in under 30 seconds. I have never done a DRM removal, but I'm guessing it takes a lot longer than 30 seconds.
This is broken
"I imagine that each time you stream the mp3, they tack an ad on the front. If you stream it several times in a session, they stop tacking the ad on the front. Don't think that should require any kind of DRM system."
Just signed up and downloaded a song and I had the "audacity" to edit the ad ridden .mp3. If this is what they're going to be (they're still in beta so I don't know if they'll change) then they won't be around for long at all. People will get the songs make them advert free and make torrents of them. Business excecs will never learn, I give this guy credit for trying though.

Introducing "Synphesiser", my debut novel!
by, 29th March 2013 at 11:16 AM (10969 Views)
Anyone who knows anything about me will know that for the past few years, I've been working on a novel. Today, I am proud to announce that me debut novel Synphesiser is now available to purchase on Amazon, for the low price of 99p (UK), $1.51 (U.S.), 99¢ (Europe) or ¥150. (I'm not sure why Amazon added that extra cent on the end, but I'm working on it).
For those of you interested, here is the official synopsis:
And if that still hasn't won you over, here's the full first chapter, for free:"To synthesise is to create distortion. To synphesise is to correct distortion."
Do you know what it's like to have your whole life twisted and turned upside down in a single night? To be called a witch or worse for something you thought was normal? If so, you might be able to understand Lake Havard - he was just a young boy living in a small village, the only thing making him any different to you or me being Laura, the red frog-like "synph", an intelligent creature attuned to nature, that lived with him. Laura had been a part of Lake's family since before he was born, so it was only natural that one day they would perform the ceremonial pact - she would become his synph and he would become her "synphesiser", a promise that they will help each other "become better attuned" with the world.
All it took was one night. One night for his village to be reduced to fire and rubble, one night for him, Laura and a childhood friend to be kidnapped by armed mercenaries and one night for the image of his mother's body lifelessly falling into shallow waters to forever be burned into his memory.
It was only after two years of unspeakable "experiments" that Lake and Laura found themselves rescued from an off-shore facility by HOPE - an organisation seeking to help promote the relationship between synphs and synphesisers, as well as to stand up for those who have their rights denied by others. It wasn't long before the boy had warmed up to the organisation's colourful members, such as the bubbly, dramatic Lukas and the kind, maternal Hannah and he was accepted into their fold. His first mission? To bring down Montgomery Carino, the organised crime boss responsible for the night that turned his life upside down.
If you're super cool and wish to take the plunge and buy my book on any Kindle-compatible device, then here are the following links:"To synthesise is to create distortion.
To synphesise is to correct distortion;
The distortion between humans and the world...
Prelude Stage: Synphesiser
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Mother asked in her usual soft maternal voice, except this time it also contained a hint of concern. Normally, I would have spent a long time pondering such a small question, but this time my mind had been made up long ago.
"Why wouldn't I?" I replied confidently.
At the time, I was only fifteen years old. I wasn't known for being particularly tall or muscular, hence why I had to stand firm to make sure I wasn't underestimated. I was in my living room; the majority of the furniture was either wooden or coloured dark brown. It was pitch black outside, so a candle was at each corner of the room; the flickering flames bringing a majestic feel to the plain white robes I was wearing.
"Very well" Mother said as she sat down on the floor and opened up an ancient looking tome; turning each page carefully as if it could crumble to dust at any moment. I was stood on a rug in the centre of the room, whereas Mother was sat at the side. Such an occasion should have been filling her with joy but she had an uncertain look on her face, as if she felt that something wasn't right. She decided to work through those feelings however and resumed the ceremony.
"Laura, you may enter." She announced. The thin door that separated the front room and the kitchen opened; the light from the other room surrounding Laura, giving her a powerful, almost angelic aura as she slowly walked into the room
The first thing people would notice about Laura is that she isn't human - she's an Erythrosynph Aquaticus; a 'synph' with an appearance similar to a waist-high bipedal frog. Her skin was dark red which was contrasted by her large, beady, sapphire eyes. A lure with a small sky blue light on top extended from the top of her head and a thin whip-like tail extended from her rear, with an end shaped like an axe. Laura was wearing a robe identical to mine (Except with an extra hole for her tail) which she wore with pride. She took a couple of steps forward, stopping when she was standing in front of me. She cleared her throat before addressing me in a tone that, for her, was unusually formal.
"Lake, before we continue, are you sure you understand the purpose of making a pact?" she asked sharply. I was nervous but I didn't want anyone to know it. Besides, I had made my mind up long ago so there was no turning back now, so I gave a slight nod. She looked deep into my eyes; I was embarrassed to say the least. Having studied the scriptures for so long, it was like rehearsing a play; you can remember all your lines until you're standing on stage before a crowded audience. I turned to Mother, who smiled reassuringly. It was then when I remembered.
"A pact between a Synph and a human is a vow," I began, looking up nervously for a sign of approval; the smiles on Mother and Laura's faces confirmed that I was on the right track. "To respect the world which we have been given and to regain the connection to its soul that the impure desires of our ancestors so cruelly severed." I continued, forcing my shyness back with fierce resolve. Laura nodded approvingly. The look in her eyes however, had become a concerned glare.
"As for the conditions of the pact; in exchange for helping restore this connection, the synphesiser - the human who forms the pact, is given access to a synph's power. What is the purpose of this?" she asked. At this point, my nervousness was over and I was confident that I had remembered the rest of the ancient script. Looking around the dark room, my attention was drawn to one of the flickering flames in the corner; fire is something that is essential for improving life, but can also be instrumental in ending it. Fire is a powerful symbol of the responsibilities that one takes on when becoming a synphesiser, hence why even in a time of electricity and light switches, the more traditional candles are used. Remembering that, I took a deep breath as I continued.
"We are given strength in the hope that we can cast aside the sins of those who came before us to overcome temptation and to defend this truth against those who would deny it to us." I recited. At this point, it was becoming mundane so I started to fidget; something that Laura instantly caught on to. She smiled as she looked at me, probably thinking about how the boy she had seen grow up from a mere baby was now standing in front of her like this. She hesitated before proudly presenting me with her webbed hand.
"Even after understanding all of that do you, Lake Havard, still wish to form a pact with me, Laura, the Red Synph of the Water?" I surprised her by firmly grabbing her hand; a smile beaming across my face. This was something I had decided long ago; there was no point in asking me it and deep down, Laura knew that.
"Without a doubt" I answered. Laura lowered her head and closed her eyes reflectively.
"Very well. As of now, I am your synph and you are my synphesiser." She said as her body began to glow bright red before it shrank into a red ball of light; her robes falling to the floor. "This may sting a bit." She warned as the ball thrust itself into my chest.
My chest was burning; the force pressing against me was painful but bearable. I had to take a few steps back due to the recoil.
"That's my boy." Mother said proudly.
A light breeze blew down the slightly sloped hill as me and Daisy walked up its pavement. Daisy was the same age as me, although with her dark green-tinted hair that grew down her back and her curvy body, she certainly looked older. I was holding my school bag tight, while Daisy was carrying hers loosely with one hand as she walked. She was always adamant that she had to walk in front; apparently she wouldn't trust me in the face of danger. Despite that though, I always wanted to walk by her side; doing so always gave me such a warm feeling, like snuggling up in a warm blanket during a cold day.
Me and Daisy were on our way to school, which was in the more urbanised part of the village. The base of the hill, where me and my family lived was mostly fields. At the top of the hill though is where the aforementioned school is, as well as the shops and the majority of the houses. Families tended to live in the more rural section, while workers from either the local area or the bigger city lived in the urban part.
I was always interested in the relationship between Daisy and Kennedy, a synph she lived with that despite looking more like a hedgehog, was closer to the size of a porcupine. I had only recently become Laura's synphesiser so I was even more curious.
"So, have you and Kennedy made a pact yet?" I asked. Without answering, Daisy hastened her pace and went on ahead, although I quickly caught up with her.
"What's the big deal about becoming a synphesiser anyway?" she stubbornly asked. "These days, it just means we'll be sent to war."
While that wasn't necessarily true it was the most prominent public opinion. After all, synphesisers were apparently drafted into service during the last war; they were effective, but that had left a permanent stain on how the world sees synphs and the humans they make pacts with. Still though, why do some synphesisers get persecuted against when they weren't even alive during the war?
"The war ended years ago and we have a peace treaty now." I tried to explain, but I was cut off; Daisy was obviously angry that I tried to contradict her.
"A peace treaty is nothing but a piece of paper!" she shouted, stopping in her tracks and turning to me. She was crying; but I couldn't tell if they were tears of sadness or anger - was it possible that they were a mixture of both?
"Sorry." Was all I could say, trying to sound as humble as possible. It was never my intention to make anyone cry, let alone her. It was only when I looked back at her that I saw a small smirk emerge.
"You did it again!" I called out. I can never be sure of when Daisy is being serious or not. She stuck her tongue out like a small child and ran up the hill.
"You're just too sentimental!" she shouted as she ran. Not wanting to risk any more confrontations, I decided to shrug it off and join her. I tried to smile, but all hope of that was lost when we reached the top of the hill.
Standing on the other side of the road was a large statue of a soldier on his knees cupping an orb in his hands, holding it against his chest; a powerful image; an eternal reminder of the bond shared by both a synph and synphesiser and the sacrifices both made during the war. Utterly awestruck, We approached the large memorial. At its base was a plaque decorated to look like a bronze European Union flag with the names of the numerous servicemen, women and synphs engraved upon it. Just below it was a collection of poppy-wreaths.
"Can't really call me sentimental now, can you?" I asked, noting the sad look on her face.
"No...I can't." Daisy replied solemnly. She bent down and shuffled through her bag before producing a small plastic cross with a replica poppy attached to it; underneath was a small piece of folded paper stuck on with tape. Daisy trembled as she carefully placed it down amongst the wreaths. Holding her hands together, she quietly prayed. Not wanting to cause offence, I held my hands together and silently prayed as well. As I was finishing I heard the faint sound of sobbing. I opened my eyes to see Daisy trying to hold back her tears. I had no idea what to do, so for once I decided to go with my gut instinct - I quickly hugged her from behind as if protecting her; the tears suddenly stopped.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She said as she opened her eyes and moved my arms away. As she got up, her eyes were fixed on the plaque. "Without them, we'd have fallen to the Empire. They sacrificed themselves for us." She said sincerely. She turned around and walked by me. "We better hurry, or we'll be late." She said, forcing a light hearted tone through her trembling lips.
It wasn't long after that when we continued our journey. We were walking down the central street of what was once a bustling village but now seemed more akin to a seaside town during the winter, with the buildings looking as worn as an old pier. As we continued our slightly hurried pace, I noticed that since we were at the memorial, Daisy was more withdrawn than before. I had a feeling of what was wrong, but what if I was wrong? Was it something best left alone, or not? Daisy wasn't usually like this; by now she'd be pulling on my cheeks teasing me or something to that effect.
"What's wrong?" I finally asked, but she just turned her head away.
"N-nothing." She replied unconvincingly as her face turned into a faint shade of embarrassed pink. I walked around her so that we met eye to eye.
"Come on, you can tell me." I said warmly.
"You've always been one to butt into other peoples' problems." She sighed, knowing that once I had decided on something, I tended to stick to it. "I was just wondering...does synphesising hurt?" she asked with a trembling fear in her voice like a terrified young child.
"Does it hurt?" I asked aloud, raising my finger to my chin. Well, it wasn't unbearable, but I did feel something.
"Ow..." I was obviously thinking about the question for too long, as Daisy smacked me on the head; she looked rather irritated.
"Never mind. Asking you was a stupid idea...you can never make up your mind." She said disappointingly before walking away, leaving me to rub my head.
"It doesn't hurt as much as that!" I shouted to her.
"Good to know." Daisy replied with a reassured smile. "So, will you and your parents officiate my ceremony?" she asked with a childlike excitement. Once again, I raised my finger to my chin. "Yes or no?!" she called out impatiently.
"Sure, why not?" I replied happily.
In the evening, the sky was a mixture of bright pinks and steel greys as the sun was slowly setting in the west. The vibrant light shone through the window and into my dining room. I was busy helping Mother wash up the plates from dinner, while Laura and Father sat at the table. Mother always said that me and Father looked alike, except that he had blue eyes, a bulkier frame and being older than me, he was also taller. As I placed some of the cleaned plates onto the draining board, I couldn't help but think back to what Daisy had said earlier:
'What's the big deal about becoming a Synphesiser anyway? These days, it just means we'll be sent to war.'
The only details I knew about the war were what I was taught at school; however, I never could understand why so much hatred was centred on just the synphs and synphesisers.
"Father, what did synphesisers do during the war?" I asked as I turned to my father. Although he himself was too young to have served on the front lines, some of his older friends and relatives had. Laura instantly turned away, whereas my father wore a nostalgic face.
"Just as the European forces were losing, synphesisers were called in as heavily artillery." He said proudly.
"The problem with that is," Mother interjected, drawing my attention to her. "As they were so effective, these days we're stereotyped as soldiers or mercenaries for hire - even if we weren't involved in the war." She explained with a hint of loneliness.
"What brought this on anyway?" Father asked, looking at me with his sharp, enquiring eyes. He knew I didn't like confrontations like that, as they make me nervous. I knew that despite him not having been involved personality, my Father took a lot of pride in the role synphesisers played in the conflict.
"Daisy said that without them, we'd be ruled by the Empire. So I was wondering why they didn't get the respect they deserve." I said, somewhat sincerely and somewhat knowing that I was treading on egg shells.
Laura was growing more uncomfortable with the direction the conversation was going and made her feelings known by pushing her chair out and standing on the floor with her head hung low. Mother saw this and quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of Daisy, she wants us to officiate her ceremony, right?" she asked light-heartedly. I nodded in response. "Well, when is it?" she asked as she took her apron off and folded it.
"Tomorrow." I said matter-of-factly. Mother instantly started to panic; throwing the neatly folded apron into the air.
"What?!" she shouted as she frantically pulled open the drawers and shuffled through their contents.
"What the hell are you doing now?" Father enquired in a voice that reflected how sudden outbursts like these were a regular occurrence. Mother's hands finally emerged from a drawer, with a tape measure being held in one and a pair of scissors in the other.
"I have to measure up Daisy and Kennedy." She beamed excitedly as she ran into another room. Both me and my Father couldn't do anything but let out a deep sigh.
Mother left shortly afterwards. When she returned, she excitedly told us how she arrived just in time to stop Daisy and Kennedy erupting into a fight; apparently Daisy had been pricked by one of the synph's spines, which she claimed was deliberate (although apparently, it was clearly an accident). Daisy and Kennedy have known each other for so long that they know exactly how to annoy the other - apparently the tension started to build up when Kennedy refused to get Daisy a plaster, saying how she was a 'big girl' and should get it herself. However, once Mother had persuaded the two to allow them to be measured, they seemed to have had great fun.
While Mother was busy at Daisy's, me and Father were sat down watching the television; he was channel hopping as always; however, when the news came on, he placed the remote on the arm nearest to him. A reporter was standing in front of a destroyed building; in the background people were huddled together and crying. The headline at the bottom informed the viewers that the nearby village had been attacked and known synphesisers were missing. Needless to say, I was shocked - especially considering our discussion earlier. My Father however, sunk his head into his hands.
"Father?" I asked, concerned.
"Don't worry." He replied without moving an inch. "I doubt they'd come here. We're just a small village in the middle of nowhere." He said solemnly.
The following day went by in a flash. It was already early evening when me and my family made our way up the various flights of stairs in the old looking apartment building. The lifts were constantly under maintenance due to vandalism, which meant that Laura, who wasn't particularly keen on walking up so many stairs with her small frame, was receiving a piggyback ride from Father, who unlike me and Mother, didn't look very excited.
"I wonder if you and Laura forming your pact is what convinced Daisy and Kennedy to do so?" Mother said to me with a nudge and a wink. I'm guessing she was hinting at something, but I didn't know what, so I smiled nervously.
"You think so?" I asked.
"Without a doubt. You two have always been that way - one has something, so the other has to have it." she answered jokingly.
"At least this one doesn't hit the bank as hard." Father said, although from his voice it was obvious that his mind was on something else.
We finally reached the seventh floor. I wasted no time in happily running towards apartment 7-2. As I bashed on the door, the others slowly made their way to join me. During which, I could see Mother leaning onto Father's shoulder; a worried look was on her face. Even from that distance, I could hear their conversion.
"So, what are the chances?" she asked cryptically. Father quickly looked away; choosing to look at the graffiti covered wall instead.
"I don't know." He said reluctantly as he increased his pace. Mother looked at Laura, who just shrugged.
By the time they had reached the apartment, Daisy had already let me in, so they just followed. Daisy and Kennedy were wearing robes similar to those me and Laura had worn during our ceremony, except for some reason, I thought they looked a lot better on Daisy than myself. Daisy must have thought I was staring at her, so she looked back at me.
"You better not get any ideas, got it?" Daisy said condescendingly to me. I couldn't understand why she said that with such a tone, so I decided to remain silent.
"Got that?!" Daisy shouted again, causing me to jump.
"Y-Yes." I timidly answered; although I really didn't understand.
"Follow me." Daisy said as she led us through the cramped corridor into the small kitchen, which only had just enough room for a counter, cooker, fridge and a table. Numerous small plates and bowls with various 'party foods' were dotted around a delicious looking chicken; having lived with only Kennedy for such a long time, Daisy had become quite the chef.
"Wow, this looks delicious!" Mother exclaimed like a small girl, her jaw dropped in astonishment. I couldn't agree more and I guess Daisy realised this too, pointing out the drool coming out of my mouth. I reached my hand out to touch some of the snacks that were on side plates, but she quickly tapped my hand, resulting in me withdrawing it.
"Wait until after the ceremony." She said sternly. Mother chuckled as she leant into Father.
"They're like a married couple." She whispered.
"We are not!" me and Daisy replied in unison; both flustered.
"Can we just get the ceremony over with?" an embarrassed Daisy asked in a mumbled voice.
The apartment's front room was only slightly larger than the tiny kitchen. The small amount of furniture it contained was moved to the side, leaving an open space. Like with mine and Laura's ceremony, the lights had been turned off, with candles placed at each corner; the flickering flames giving a 'warmer' feeling. Daisy and Kennedy were stood in the centre, facing each other. Me and Father were stood at the outer wall, on either side of the window, while Laura was on the wall opposite stood beside Mother, who was sat on the floor with her ancient-looking book. There was little space, but we were all trying our best to not take notice of that.
"Daisy, before we continue, are you sure you understand the purpose of making a pact?" Mother asked as she looked at the young girl, who let out a small laugh, as if overly confident in her answer.
"It's a promise between a human and Synph to forget greed and become friends with the world again." The girl replied bluntly. Kennedy let out a deep sigh.
"Please stick to the script." He pleaded.
"Why should I? This makes things more personal." Daisy asked stubbornly.
"Tradition." Kennedy replied sternly as he raised his spine-collar; offended by the disregard to such a significant ceremony. Daisy placed her hands behind her head and leaned back slightly, showing her carefree nature. Her face suddenly shown one of boredom as she recalled the lines in a monotone voice.
"A pact between a synph and a human is a vow to respect the world which we have been given and to regain the connection to its soul that the impure desires of our ancestors so cruelly severed." Both Mother and Kennedy smiled and nodded approvingly to Daisy before continuing.
As the ceremony carried on, I couldn't help but notice that every so often, Father would gaze out the window. By now, despite it being so dark that you could hardly see anything, he had an apprehensive look on his face as his eyes scanned every speck of darkness. He leant his head against the window as he tried to drown out the sound around him. Why was he doing that though? Could it be because of what was on the news yesterday? Was that what Mother and Father were talking about earlier?
After a while, I noticed my Father's ears twitch. I turned to look out of the window, following his eyes as they scanned the area - it was then when his eyes widened and he took a couple of steps back - small flickering lights were advancing towards us. In a furious hurry, he pulled the curtains shut.
"Father...what's wrong?" I asked worryingly, holding onto his sleeve for some sort of reassurance. By this time, everyone else in the room had become aware of my Father's concern.
"Is it?" Mother asked, shaking. Her eyes were resonating with a deep fear, like someone being confronted with a violently shocking truth.
"Probably." Was all Father could say. By now, trying to comfort her was futile. "I'm sorry, but we'll have to stop the ceremony." He said as he turned his attention to Laura and Kennedy.
"Not happening." Kennedy said fiercely as he puffed up the spines around his collar. Father looked like he was ready to blitz the synph with a barrage of words, however this time, Laura decided to get involved. She walked between the two and slammed her tail into the ground, striking a pose screaming of the authority she felt she had.
"Seriously Ken, why do you have to get so hung up over tradition?" she asked angrily. "People from the laboratory have hit neighbouring villages and now it seems they're here...for us." She explained sternly. "If you and her enter a pact, you'll be putting her in danger." Her eyes drifted towards me; they looked sad. "It's bad enough that we've put Lake in danger." She said regretfully.
Kennedy was still being stubborn; he was always known to have been. However, what he did next was something shocking to everyone who knew him. The synph turned himself into a shining white orb and shot into Daisy's chest. As the young girl hadn't braced herself for it, the impact pushed her to the floor.
"Kennedy!" Mother shouted in horror. It took Daisy a moment to sit up and process what had just happened.
"Heh. Now if any danger does come, she can protect herself." Kennedy stated smugly; his voice emanating from within the young girl. Father sighed heavily, obviously trying to draw the attention towards him.
"Anyway, we'll discuss the implications of Kennedy's actions later. For now, we need to get out here." He instructed. Everyone in the room was in agreement.
The sound of rapid gunshots and the scrambling of feet ripped through the air; striking us all deep at our cores, like we were waking up from a beautiful dream into a world of nightmare.
"What's happening?" Daisy cried out, worried, clinging to Mother. Father quickly ran to the window and peeked through the curtains.
"Well, isn't that excessive?" he said with gritted teeth.
"What is?" I asked; however, he swung his arm out gesturing for my silence. I looked back at Father's arm, which was spread out before me; it was then when I noticed that his thumb and two of his fingers were being held out.
"On the count of three, we run." He said as sweat rolled down his face. No one was questioning what he was seeing, we all trusted him and his judgement. We all watched carefully as one finger was brought down, then another. As each one returned to being huddled up to the palm of his band, we braced ourselves. Then, when his fist became clenched, Father ran out of the room, leading the rest of us out.
It was after we left Daisy's apartment when we saw what we had heard just now - surrounding apartments were in flames and residents were all scrambling for the stairs, not even taking care to avoid stepping on those that had fallen to the bullets. We were all repulsed at the unimaginable horror we were made to witness. Father tried unsuccessfully to shield my eyes, as Mother did with Daisy as soon as we saw a figure at the far end of the corridor - dressed as though it was a soldier. It flung its arm out high, having thrown something into the air. The next few seconds seemed to drag on for hours, as Daisy pushed through my parents, perhaps being controlled by Kennedy, as each strand of hair on her body rose up and hardened, turning a pure white, resembling a spiked armour. The girl's arms were spread out wide in front of us, trying to shield us.
It was then when the explosion tore through the building and the floor caved in.

text: Anybody doing anything in the way of occasion-specific Francophagy (and if that word doesn't imply eating French people)? My son informs me that he and his friends will be attending a Bastille Day street fair in Tribeca this afternoon, which is the first I'm hearing of any real tradition here of marking the occasion, unless you count the number of French restaurants that make a show of celebrating the day. I gather that the street fair involves a lot of fussball and grilled merguez sausage sandwiches. Who knew that this is what Parisians did after a hard day of storming the Bastille? It seems to me more like a salade Nicoise day than a coq au vin day, which is kind of a shame since I've got all the necessaries for coq au vin sitting in the kitchen. So, anybody knitting sweaters? Firing up Madame Grillotine? Work with me, here...

Glenn Morris Multi-Events Info | Jack Christiansen Invitational Info
By Nate Lake
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – After a busy period of travelling to and from California for participation in a number of different meets, Colorado State track & field athletes will return to competition at home this weekend for the Jack Christiansen Invitational at the Jack Christiansen Track.
The three-day meet begins Thursday with the Glenn Morris Multi-Event portion, which lasts into Friday. The women's heptathlon is the beginning of all competition and is slated to begin at 11 a.m. MT Thursday with the 100-meter hurdles. The men's decathlon starts at 11:30 a.m. Thursday with the 100-meter dash. The heptathletes finish out the day with the high jump, shot put, and 200-meter dash, while the decathletes will participate in the long jump, shot put, high jump and 400-meter dash.
The heptathlon's final three events, the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run, will occur Friday. In the decathlon, Friday's events are the 110-meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and 1,500-meter run.
The rest of the meet will begin Friday at 3 p.m. with the men's and women's hammer throws. Remaining field events begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, while track events are set to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday with the women's 5,000-meter run. The men's 1,600-meter relay will wrap up the Jack Christiansen Invitational; it is set to start at 2:45 p.m. Saturday.
The Rams hope to build on their last home meet, the Fum McGraw Quadrangular, which saw Colorado State dominate on both the men's and women's sides of competition. Colorado State is also coming off an exciting weekend in which Trevor Brown broke his own school and conference record in the 110-meter hurdles and Andrew Goodman set the Beach Invitational record in the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Tyler Schultz and Kiah Hicks lead a group of throwers who will aim to continue their 2013 outdoor success. Schultz and Hicks are both coming off of personal-best performances at the Mt. SAC Relays and Beach Invitational in California.
The Glenn Morris Multi-Events and Jack Christiansen Invitational will take place at the Jack Christiansen Track, located at the east end of the campus of Colorado State University. Admission is free to the public.
