The Vital Sounds Showcase
The Vital Sounds Showcase is an event for artists to perform on the Loyola campus in exchange for free studio time!

Thank you!

The Tragedy of the Commons
Many people have spoke, or complained, to us that the studio should be a free entity for the students of Loyola to utilize and expand the artistic community of the university. Many have also held us in disdain for disagreeing with this view. Here is why we disagree:
1. When something is free, people tend to take more of it. Let's say the studio time is free for any student's use, how long would you book it for? An entire week? What about the hundreds, if not thousands, of other students who are waiting at least 3 months for their studio time? Oh, that's right, you're paying tens of thousands of college tuition, you should be able to get your studio time as soon as you would like. Unfortunately, you can't, because every other student feels the same way.
2. There are many people investing their time into the studio besides the paying clients. Who does that include? Board members, engineers, advisors, teachers, and even work-study students. Without a monetary system for this studio, no one would want to invest the time into making the high-quality production you would like in our studio. No one would want to mix down your amazing song for absolutely nothing when they could be getting a 9 to 5 job making copies, earning slightly above minimum wage, instead of doing what they love for free. Sorry, but time is money.
3. There is no commercial studio that is free unless you own it. We use extremely high-end equipment and offer a rate that has been derailed by other studios because of how low it is. Finally, we are the most convenient source for recording your music. It is more economical to invest a couple hundred dollars in having your album mixed, engineered, and crafted to perfection than to invest the time and money into buying a microphone that may not be right for you, studio soundproofing material, the knowledge of engineering and mixing in software, the expensive software itself, and the right ear for getting the right sound.
We do not just specialize in professional quality recordings and equipment; we specialize in convenience for you and your time.
Thank you.

Vital Sounds Open for Summer!
That's right. We are extending our business calendar to include this summer, so please feel free to book your studio time if you're in New Orleans from May to August. We are very excited for this opportunity and we hope to hear from you this summer. There is also a new section for studio session photos. Please take a look, and hopefully you'll see why you should record with Vital Sounds.
Thank you!
Recommend us to Anyone and You'll Get 30 Minutes of Free Studio Time!
A new promotions plan is underway for the Vital Sounds Recording Studio.
Starting today, Vital Sounds is initiating a plan that offers you free recording time with high-end microphones and acoustically superior studio rooms that will give your next big track the commercial quality you've been seeking.
If you bring to us a new client who books at least two hours of studio time, Vital Sounds will give you 30 minutes free!
That's right. For every person you recommend to record with us, and they book at least two hours, you'll get a free half hour.
There is no limit to how many people you can recommend. Just be sure to inform who you recommend that they tell us who you are so we can give you thirty minutes in the studio.
This deal will only last until the end of the spring semester of 2010.
What are you waiting for? Start getting your free studio time now!

The Wolf Magazine Talks About Vital Sounds
Self Starters
Student entreprenuers gain business experience with EUS
Lee Hudson
Issue date: 2/5/10 Section: Music and Entertainment
These aren't Fortune 500 global companies, but they are a start. They are called Production EUs (Entrepreneurial Units), which are a way for students' ideas to come into fruition. They are student-run companies that are independent from the university.
Jay Crutti, coordinator of technology for the College of Music and Fine Arts and adjunct instructor, is the adviser for production EUs on campus.
"I give them advice on the best business practices and intellectual framework," Crutti says. "I am there to make sure they don't break laws or go against Loyola's mission."
The employees of these student-run companies must be Loyola students because of payroll.
"The EUs are a division of Loyola but they make decisions independently of the university," Crutti says.
The students are in charge of every aspect of the business from hiring and firing, to payroll and writing contracts.
This is not a company simulation — these EUs are real businesses. They must maintain a profit or they could go bankrupt.
"EUs are a really great preparation for the real world and changes the nature of how students get internships and jobs," Crutti says.
Instead of students applying for internships and jobs, they are already competing in their job market. They are able to network and make contacts to land a job upon graduation.
"A vast majority of leaders in these organizations start their own company after graduating. Hopefully these EUs remove the fear of starting your own company," Crutti says.
Here are the four EUs on campus and what they do. Their services are here for hire to the Loyola community as well as the New Orleans area.
The student-run recording studio's clientele includes artists from Dr. John and the Mardi Gras Indians to the Monk Institute. The company receives client referrals from Loyola faculty and through the students' own contacts.
The board is composed of the president, the operations manager and the chief financial officer, says Noah Adams, Vital Sounds Recording president and music industry studies junior. The business has about six engineers, 15 apprentices and 15 work-study students.
To become an apprentice, students must take a skill assessment. From there, the student will be classified as a beginning, intermediate or advanced apprentice. Each skill level receives advice from an engineer who is appointed to help the apprentices at each level.
Once the apprentice feels confident they have the skills required to be an engineer, there is an exit skills test, Adams says. They must emulate a real commercial session and the board evaluates the session to see if it is up to the company's standards. The apprentice must have three projects in their portfolio to be a certified engineer.
Certified engineers can expect to make about $20 an hour. To become an apprentice, interested students can go to the weekly meeting which is on Mondays at 7 p.m. in room 427 of the Communications/Music Complex.
"We recruit at music industry forum but we're really just looking for enthusiastic people," says Adams.

Musically Satisfying!
New Studios, New Equipment, New Environment! Its just wonderful, the most comfortable place to record. Even if its just you or you and friends, the vibe from the room is sure to be refreshing.
New Control room for Studio 1
Studio 1's much anticipated new control room is complete. Designed by acclaimed designer George Augspurger, the new control room is a great environment for mixing and mastering. Over $200,000 was spent constructing the new room and it is beautiful in look and in sound.
Ribbon mics arrive at Vital Sounds
For the first time ever the studio acquired a wide assortment of Ribbon microphones from Beyer Dynamic and AEA and pre-amps to accompany them. Here's what we just got:
2x AEA R84's
2x Beyer Dynamic M130's
2x Beyer Dynamic M160's
2x AEA The Ribbon Pre Preamplifiers
We are totally stoked about the opportunity to use these on upcoming projects and have already achieved some great sounds with them.
New Digidesign C|24 installed
The drive to keep our studio as current as possible continues with the addition of the new Digidesign C|24 to replace our aging Control|24. The C|24 features ultra-smooth faders, great build quality, ICON theme, and improved preamps and monitoring. The C|24 is already installed and available to our customers for use on their projects.

Disturbing news from the FBI: The top U.S. intelligence agency recently underwent an internal audit, which produced some pretty creepy results. Even in a small sampling of the agency's activities (the survey covered 10% of the whole organization, according to The Washington Post), the bureau was found to have violated privacy laws and agency rules some 1,000 times while monitoring phone calls, e-mails and other communications.
Washington Post:
The vast majority of the new violations were instances in which telephone companies and Internet providers gave agents phone and e-mail records the agents did not request and were not authorized to collect. The agents retained the information anyway in their files, which mostly concerned suspected terrorist or espionage activities.
But two dozen of the newly-discovered violations involved agents' requests for information that U.S. law did not allow them to have, according to the audit results provided to The Washington Post. Only two such examples were identified earlier [in a smaller sample taken in March].
Paging George Orwell: Mistakes in the FBI's domestic surveillance efforts probably number several thousand, bureau officials said in interviews with The Washington Post.

New owner, name for Cucina Toscana
Salt Lake City's Cucina Toscana restaurant has a new name and owner.
The restaurant will now be called Toscana, said Ken Murdock, a local real estate developer who recently bought the building and restaurant at 307 W. Pierpont Ave.
On Tuesday, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control approved the transfer of the restaurant's liquor license to Murdock.
Ken Milo, the Salt Lake City architect and previous owner, told the liquor commission that Cucina Toscana had been "a victim of the recession."
Milo, the original developer of the Broadway Lofts, a high-rise condo project across from Pioneer Park, ran into hard times in 2009 when the economy and the housing market hit the skids. Not long after, the bank took possession of the Cucina Toscana building, which had been used as loan collateral, Milo said. The bank subsequently sold the building to Murdock.
The restaurant changes come just 18 months after Valter Nassi, the face and personality behind the Cucina Toscana, left to start his new restaurant, Valter's Osteria.
And Milo's attempt to launch two other restaurants, Vivace, next to Cucina Toscana, and Caterina, in Sugar House, also were unsuccessful and have since closed.

April 30 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. farmers worked around Midwest rain last week to increase corn planting, boosting expectations that they will sow the most acres since 1937 and produce a bigger harvest than year's drought-damaged crop.
About 53 percent of the corn crop was planted as of yesterday, up from 28 percent a week earlier and 12 percent a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said today in a report. The average for the previous five years is 27 percent, and the record for the 17th week of the year was 68 percent in 2010.
An estimated 15 percent of the plants had emerged from the ground, compared with 4 percent a year earlier, the USDA said. The average emergence for the prior five years was 6 percent.
About 12 percent of the soybean crop was planted, compared with 6 percent a week ago and the previous five-year average of 5 percent, the USDA said.

0Sep 8, '11 by Weezy24Hii ,
I just had a question. I am a pre-nursing student, yet to complete all my courses. I was told by someone who works for Wakemed that Wakemed has this collaboration with WSSU and will pay the tuition of Wakemed employees if they wish to become RNs. Have any of you heard of this program?
And if so, how does this work? I would assume they would have to relocate to Winston Salem right?
And good luck all of you waiting for the decisions for Spring 2012

Well, thanks but I really only consider myself to be an average guitarist... I keep working at it though! I do play a little bass, piano and drums... I started guitar rather late at 19.

AP IMPACT: Families Hoard Cash 5 Yrs After Crisis
Consumers around the world will eventually shake their fears, of course, and loosen the hold on their money. But few economists expect them to snap back to their old ways.
One reason is that the boom years that preceded the financial crisis were as much an aberration as the last five years have been. Those free-spending days, experts now understand, were fueled by families taking on enormous debt, not by healthy wage gains. No one expects a repeat of those excesses.
More importantly, economists cite a psychological "scarring" that continues to shape behavior. Scarring is a fear of losing money that grips people during a period of collapsing jobs, incomes and wealth, and then doesn't let go.
The desire for safety remains even after jobs return, wages rise and financial and housing markets recover. Think of Americans who suffered through the Great Depression and stayed frugal for decades, even as the U.S. economy boomed after World War II.Although not on a level with the Depression, some economists think the psychological blow of the financial crisis was severe enough that households won't increase their borrowing and spending to what would be considered normal levels for another five years or longer. To better understand why people remain so cautious five years after the crisis, AP interviewed consumers around the world. A look at what they're thinking â¿¿ and doing â¿¿ with their money: ___ INVESTING Rick Stonecipher of Muncie, Ind., doesn't like stocks anymore, for the same reason that millions of investors have turned against them â¿¿ the stock market crash that began in October 2008 and didn't end until the following March. "My brokers said they were really safe, but they weren't," says Stonecipher, 59, a substitute school teacher. That individual investors would sell while markets plunged is not surprising. Households nearly always bail out as stocks drop, only to buy again after they rise.

During a recent trip to Germany for the Tire Technology for Commercial Vehicles Conference, I had the pleasure of meeting several European tire professionals. As the only American in attendance, I spent a lot of networking time explaining how the North American market operates. One aspect that the Europeans had a hard time understanding was the fact that large U.S. fleets could control which components (and tires) are specified on new equipment.
Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of serving as a judge for the SuperTech competition at the fall meeting of the Technology & Maintenance Council. For those who are not familiar with the event, it is a gathering of the nation's top diesel technicians who willingly subject themselves to rigorous testing over a couple of days to determine a Grand Champion. SuperTech is not for the faint of heart nor the shade tree mechanic. Just qualifying for the finals should be considered a victory.
Efficiency experts are obsessed with the concept of restructuring. It doesn't matter the subject, simply because they believe there is always a better way. They are convinced that if you eliminate a position and divide the responsibilities between other positions, then the result will be a more effective operation.
Even though the peak "gator" season is coming to end, the issue of tire debris on the side of the road is not going away. When people find out I'm in the tire business, too many of them still want me to "do something about all of the retreads on the side of the road." My typical response is that the tire debris they see on the highway is not a retread issue. It's more of an inflation pressure and heat problem that can cause any tire to come apart.
Without a doubt, the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program has changed the way commercial vehicles are operated by drivers, maintained by fleets, and inspected by vehicle enforcement officials. And with government data that supports the positive impact it is having on reducing accidents and identifying carriers in need of intervention, the trucking industry can be certain it is here to stay.
When you think about the truck tire manufacturing process, the component most often thought of comes from small farms in Southeast Asia. Natural rubber is well known to everyone in the trucking business after supply issues caused the price to skyrocket from $1.48/lb. in July 2010 to a record high of $2.80/lb. in February 2011. This led to an unprecedented flurry of price increases as manufacturers attempted to offset rising raw material costs. With prices currently under $1/lb.
On Oct. 2, 2013, a three-car accident involving a church bus, an SUV and a tractor-trailer on Interstate 40 outside Knoxville, TN, tragically claimed the lives of eight people and injured 12. The media immediately reported that it was the result of a blown steer tire, so the tire and transportation industries braced for another potential public relations and/or regulatory nightmare. Speculation ran rampant as a few "experts" tried to place all of the blame on the tire or the bus driver and basically guessed what caused this tragedy.
A lot of people in the trucking industry have issues with symmetry when it comes to tires. They believe that all of the tires on the vehicle must be identically matched. The steer tires must have the same tread design as the tires on the drive and trailer axles. With the appearance of perfect uniformity, this policy of matched tires is considered by many to be the best approach, which potentially yields the best results.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of SmartWay, a public-private initiative from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the national supply chain. According to the EPA, SmartWay partners have saved 120.7 million barrels of oil (resulting in $16.8 billion in fuel savings) and 51.6 million tons of carbon dioxide over the past decade. They are impressive figures until you consider that the United States consumes about 19 million barrels of oil a day (which means we've saved less than a week's worth
Based on what I've seen over the past decade, the whole green movement is just getting started. One of the popular new buzzwords is sustainable, which basically means the resource in question is not exploited to the point where it can no longer reproduce and survive. Natural rubber could definitely be considered on the list of sustainable products because there is a finite lifespan to each tree, and it takes several years for a new planting to yield any product.
In July of 1988, President Ronald Reagan was giving a speech to the Future Farmers of America when he jokingly referred to the nine most terrifying words in the English language, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." As if the demands on the trucking industry have not been enough with Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA), another federal agency has proposed new regulations that invoke the spirit of Reagan.
With growing competition in the truck tire and retread industry, fleets have more choices than ever when selecting the rubber that meets the road. From name brands that have been around for decades to newcomers that are utilizing the advances in technology, the overall performance and value has never been better. That being said, there is always room for improvement, so fleets need to insulate themselves from sales pitches, special pricing and tire tests that are designed to entice fleet managers to make a change. Since margins are tighter than ever, it's easy to get
There is nothing more frustrating than being told that a simple puncture in the shoulder of a truck tire is unrepairable. After all, the difference between the location of a repairable puncture and one that is non-repairable is often measured in millimeters. For decades, the only puncture repairs that were allowed in the field had to be located in the crown area, which is the center of the tread approximately 1 to 1.5 in. from each edge.
Thirty-four years before George Harrison ultimately popularized the term "taxman" in the hit of the same name with The Beatles, who would have known that the Revenue Act would start an endless cycle of taxation on tires. The first Federal Excise Tax (FET) in 1932 was based on the physical weight of the tire, and it applied to all tires and inner tubes. In 1956, the Federal-Aid Highway Act added taxes for off-highway tires and tread rubber to establish the Highway Trust Fund, which would direct the money collected to highway construction and maintenance. This
Technology has an ironic way of solving one set of problems while creating another. When bias ply tires and leaf spring suspensions dominated the trucking industry decades ago, drivers expected trucks to ride like trucks. I can still remember an entire summer of balancing tires for a school bus fleet because we eliminated a vibration for one driver. Word traveled fast around the garage and within a week of iproving the ride, we had a steady stream of drivers with similar problems that we were happy to solve.

HARTFORD — First-term Democrat Victor Cuevas was prepared to resign from the state House of Representatives to take a high-paying job as executive director of the legislature's Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission.
The Waterbury lawmaker had been in the running for the appointed position until questions surfaced about whether he could accept the commission's appointment if he was offered the executive director's job. The salary range is $99,621 to $131,338 a year, according to the State Register and Manual.

Baseball Lions report on Monday
New hopes abound in final RRAC season
Season debut on new campus park, Jan. 25-26
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- Second year Head Coach Jon Shockley and a pack of new baseball players report on Monday, January 14, for the start of pre-season practice.
Southwestern Assemblies of God University graduated nine seniors from a team that went 14-28 in 2012. It opens the door for a young cast of underclassmen.
The rebuilding season will be the Lions final campaign in the Red River Athletic Conference. Next year they will join the Sooner Athletic Conference.
The squad will also don a pair of new uniforms, including a purple jersey with SAGU emblazoned across the chest.
During fall camp the Lions had 35 players making their case for a spot in the line-up or as a member of the 2013 roster. It will likely number around 25-30 ballplayers when the season begins in less than three weeks.
Expect junior catchers Jared Denton (Mission, Tx / Sharyland HS) and Taylor Froelich (Lee's Summit, Mo / Lee's Summit West HS) to anchor the infield while a completely new outfield will introduce three new starters.
Left-hander Robert Elles (Red Oak, Tx / Red Oak HS) and closer Rockie Davis (Santa Fe, Tx / Santa Fe HS), both sophomores, will be key figures on the mound.
Rusty Hensel (Maypearl, Tx / Dallas Christian College, Maypearl HS), a burly infielder with longball clout, is a transfer who figures prominently in the batting order. The sophomore is the younger brother of Riley, who recently graduated.
Much of the infield and pitching staff will make way for incoming newcomers who will battle some returning players for starting assignments.
Shockley and Assistant Coach Tommy Benningfield are joined by new staffers Derrick Fortner and Andrew Rickman. Benningfield and Fortner are former SAGU players who still hold records here.
SAGU transformed their practice facility into their newfangled campus park. It will host a select number of games this season while the crosstown Waxahachie Sports Complex, which has lights, will be the site of the remaining games.
With a short rightfield porch, students and fans may want to avoid parking near the fence during practices and games.
The club's schedule is posted on-line. It is still subject to a few minor changes.
The campus field has detailing to be completed in the next few weeks and still needs a scoreboard.
SAGU opens the season at home with a pair of back-to-back doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday, January 25-26. The opponent for the four game series will be Hillsdale College, from Moore, Oklahoma.

Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
Upgraded computer to nVidia GTX 560, constant Crashing.
Hi everyone,
I've been having some issues since upgrading my computer to this Galaxy GTX 560 video card. My old EVGA GTX 280 did fine except I wanted to be able to run Direct X 11 and newer games on the horizon.
I specifically get crashes when playing certain games. Diablo 3, Star Trek Online, Star Wars The Old Republic (seldom but still happens). The crash would usually occur less than 20 minutes of playing.
I have not experienced a crash on Team Fortress 2 yet. I have played for a few hours without crashing.
This is a second card, I RMA'd the first card already with the same issues.
I am on Windows 7 Professional, x64.
This is a upgraded installation from a clean install of Windows xp. Re-Installed Dec '11
This should be a retail version.
Motherboard 2007
CPU 2010 Intel Q9550
RAM 2011 Corsair something matched pair
Hard drive 2012 Patriot Memory Pyro
I have not overclocked anything in my computer. Everything runs fine on my 280 GTX. (just a bit slower and I hear the fan churning like mad, but doesn't hard crash)
I have also tried running the OCCT, however it also causes it to crash out in about 130 seconds. The crash report is generated from this. I can upload a youtube video of this as well if anyone is interested.

WELLNESS INTERNATIONAL NETWORK v. SHARIF
- 2010-2019
Richard Sharif and others entered into distributorship contracts with Wellness International Network (WIN) for the sale of health and wellness products. Sharif and others later sued WIN and claimed that WIN was running a pyramid scheme. The district court granted summary judgment for WIN and awarded $655,596.13 in attorney's fees as a sanction against Sharif and his co-plaintiffs for ignoring some of WIN's discovery requests. WIN attempted to discover Sharif's assets, but Sharif ignored all attempts until he was held in civil contempt for discovery violations and arrested. In 2009, Sharif filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. WIN filed an adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court and claimed that Sharif had continuously concealed property and information pertaining to his assets. The bankruptcy court found in favor of WIN and ordered Sharif to pay WIN's attorney's fees along with other sanctions.
Sharif appealed to federal district court, but before he filed his first brief, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Stern v. Marshall, which held that a bankruptcy court lacked the authority to enter a final judgment on a state-law counterclaim against a creditor. Sharif subsequently attempted to advance an argument based on Stern, but the district court did not allow it. Instead, the district court held that such an objection can be waived and that Sharif's failure to bring up to argument earlier constituted an implied waiver. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed in part and vacated in part. The Court of Appeals held that an objection based on Stern cannot be waived and that the bankruptcy court only had the authority to enter a final judgment on some of WIN's claims.
(1) Does the presence of a subsidiary state law issue to determine whether property in a debtor's possession is part of the bankruptcy estate mean that the issue does not stem from the bankruptcy itself and therefore that the bankruptcy court does not have jurisdiction to issue a final ruling?
(2) Can bankruptcy courts exercise the judicial power of the United States by litigant consent, and if so, can that consent be implied?

Help! Dropping mast with roller furling?

It's definitely possible - we did it the first time we dropped our stick. We transported our mast on crutches down through the Champlain Canal system and I wouldn't do it again - it was difficult to put back up due to all of the extra weight, and we had to be very careful about its positioning to make sure we didn't damage the sail. But - as I mentioned - you can do it, just be easy on the sail.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Argentina's cousin of the Loch Ness Monster, Nahuelito is an underwater beast that is said to live in the waters of Nahuel Huapi Lake, at the foot of the Patagonian Mountains. Reports of Nahuelito's existence can be traced back to the 19th century.
In more recent times, scores of tourists who have reported sightings have described Nahuelito's appearance in a variety of ways: a giant water snake; a swan with a snake's head; and a brontosauruslike creature with a serpentine neck, a large hump, and a fang-toothed mouth.
While many people believe Nahuelito is a survivor from the Jurassic-Cretaceous period, possibly a descendant of the plesiosaur, others have suggested that the creature is the product of a nuclear experiment gone wrong.
Josh and the team decide to try a touristy Vampire haunted house before the investigation and realize sometimes that's scarier than the real thing.
Josh talks about why sometimes slowing down during your travels is the best course of action.
Josh gives you a sneak peek as to what to expect from the Hanging Coffins investigation.

Top Local Tips for Nha trang
Mud baths The mud baths are a fantastic way to spend a half day. We hired motorbikes and rode there ourselves but if you are not up to that then catch a taxi. We had a quad tub mudbath followed by a swim in the 38 degree thermal pool and topped off with a brilliant massage & steam bath. Very relaxing way to spend the morning.
Don't believe the travel doctors.... street food in Nha Trang is fabulous If you want a cheap, healthy meal, you can't beat the street vendors for everything from banh mi sandwiches to pho beef noodle soup. Most street stalls specialize in just one food and therefore become experts at it. We ate at street stalls for 3 weeks and never got sick. Dig in!
When to travel in Vietnam Do not go to Vietnam in June or July unless you love the heat. I have never experience heat like when I was there in June and had to leave one whole week early as my body could not take it. I got quit sick. First time I went to vietnam was in January and it was absolutely gorgeous, perfect weather. Just after the rainy season just before the heat.

"Top Chef" winner Michael Voltaggio displays his savory science skills at his first solo restaurant, Ink. Named one of the best new restaurants in the U.S. by GQ magazine since opening in September, Ink filters flavors from the various cultures that thrive in Los Angeles through techniques used in molecular gastronomy. For instance, Voltaggio's version of a Caesar salad features fluke and puts a Japanese spin on the traditional Mediterranean ingredients by tempura-frying the dressing and sprinkling togarashi, a Japanese blend of chili pepper, on top. He also puts his spin on comfort foods such as Canada's poutine, or cheese fries, which he makes with chickpea fries, yogurt curds and lamb-neck gravy.
Ink's minimalist decor doesn't distract from the food. Evoking industrial Americana, the rustic wooden tables with black leather chairs have seated famous foodies such as Neil Patrick Harris, Aziz Ansari, Chelsea Handler, Alyson Hannigan and Tom Colicchio, the celebrity chef who judged Voltaggio on "Top Chef." Fitting into a fashionable section of Melrose Avenue, with neighbors such as boutiques for Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs, Ink's servers don selvage aprons stitched by Venice, Calif.-based The Stronghold.
For those who prefer a quick and easy meal, Voltaggio runs a sandwich shop next door called Ink Sack. The four-inch subs, priced from $4 to $6, aren't your typical deli options, however. The BLT is transformed into a CLT, with chicken liver mousse and curried chicken skin replacing the bacon. — S.J.

Glanced up at the marquee at The Bing this morning on my way to the bike pen behind the Review Tower.
John Mayall is playing there Sunday.
How long has he been at it? I'll tell you.
When I was in high school in the early 1970s, a classmate I regarded as being pretty cool was a John Mayall fan.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
