Cables and Connectors
Dec 27, 2013 11:39 AM, By Mike McIntyre, CTS-D, EST-L2+
If you have ever wondered what the most important part of any integrated AV system is, I have that answer for you: All of it! However, you can't have a high-performance system with anything less than high-quality cabling and connectors. From our old established friends such as XLR and 3.5mm stereo cables to a maturing HDMI and DisplayPort world, we all depend on these components to get the full functionality out of the devices to which they are connected. In this showcase, we will take a look at some of the best of those aforementioned components along with bulk cabling and connectors.
New from Archtech Electronics Corp. are NXGEN 2.0 twist-lock, quick-connect AV cables. Capable of self-securing to prevent accidental disconnects with the addition of a twist lock, NXGEN uses a small-form MD9 connector profile that can fit into spaces as small as a 0.6in. conduit, and supports up to UXGA quality audio and video all within one jacket. It remains just as flexible as its predecessor by covering a wide range of AV connectors, and is available in CMR and CMP jackets for all installation requirements.
All of Atlas Sound's HDMI cables, including the AS2HDMI-15M, feature Accu-Grain, oxygen-free copper conductors to ensure a high level of signal transfer without interference. Accu-Grain refers to the gauge of the wire and is how the full-diameter AWG copper inside can be guaranteed. The Polyflex outer jacket design is such to create flexibility no matter the thickness of the cable. It is shielded to protect against outside electrical field interference from power sources and other electronics. All Atlas RCA cables feature custom-molded, sure-grip mini connectors, Polyflex outer jackets and Accu-Grain, and multi-strand OFC copper conductors.
If you are looking for HDMI cables for plenum spaces, consider Atlona's LinkConnect These second-generation cables use 24 AWG copper for high bandwidth and are in 50ft. and 75ft. versions that use chip technology to eliminate speckles and dropouts. Other features include 4.95Gbps, video resolutions up to 1080p @ 60Hz, 3D, all audio formats, VESA resolutions up to 1900x1200 @ 60Hz, 16-bit deep color (48-bit RGB), uncompressed audio, 24 AWG stranded, tinned copper conductor, triple-shielded to block out external interference for better performance, 24k gold-plated tight fit connectors, and Black Kynar jacket. They all carry a lifetime warranty.
Audio-Technica's AT8314 series premium microphone cables feature heavy-duty, 24-gauge stranded copper conductors and professional Neutrik connectors. Each conductor uses an individual spiral shield inside the molded insulating sheath and a conductive PVC layer inside each shield dissipates static buildup during flexing. They are available in lengths ranging from 1.5ft. to 100ft. Dual copper outer shields and twin conductive PVC inner shields protect cable signal quality with 100-percent coverage. These cables have extra flexibility and low memory for ease of use and storage.
Belden's THOR-HE-HDMI HDMI extender is capable of transmitting fully uncompressed HDMI 1080p and 3D video signals. Features include HDBaseT technology and its 5Play feature set that is a convergence of uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power-over-cable, and various control signals. It supports Infrared (IR) remote passthrough function to control HDMI source devices (set-top box, DVD player and Blu-ray DVD player) in receiver by its IR remote controller.

Sexy, glamorous, dangerous…
To celebrate the release of Skyfall we explore Bond's Britain. The UK is the home of James Bond and his creator, Ian Fleming, so where better to live like the world-famous spy?
Remember the opening sequence of The World Is Not Enough, where a speedboat chase down the Thames ends in Bond dangling from a hot air balloon above London's Millennium Dome (now called the O2)? Now you can have your very own Bond-esque O2 experience with Up at the O2 – an unforgettable, uplifting expedition across the roof of this now iconic landmark. Enjoy spectacular views of the city before finishing with a thrilling descent back to base.
"I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made". There's no doubt Bond knows his booze, so we can't think of a better place to visit for a pre-dinner drink than London's Dukes Bar, Ian Fleming's former watering hole and the inspiration for the classic line 'shaken, not stirred'. Go for a classic vodka or gin martini, a Vesper martini, or the new Fleming 89, created to celebrate the link between Dukes Bar and James Bond.
Scott's in London's Mayfair was one of Ian Fleming's favourite restaurants, and with its sleek, elegant interior and menu offering the finest seafood, we're certain that Bond would still dine here today. London's restaurant scene is ever-changing, but if you're dining like Bond, keep it classic with favourites like The Ivy and Nobu.
He may technically be in his late eighties (according to the novels, he was born in 1924) and played by six different actors, but what keeps Bond's look timeless is his classic style. And if you're looking for sharp suits and exquisite tailoring that Bond would be proud to wear, look no further than London's Savile Row, where you'll find everything from tuxedos (Gieves and Hawkes) to modern, slim-cut tailoring (Ozwald Boateng).
We all know the real star of any Bond movie is the Bond Girl. For a girl's day out with a difference, head to Augill Castle in Cumbria for the Bond Girl Challenge. Channel your inner Pussy Galore as you learn how to survive outdoors, shoot, abseil the castle's tower, dress to kill and mix a mean cocktail. Or if you'd prefer to be a Bond Girl in the city, try the Special Agent's Hen Event where you'll be set challenges by a mysterious Mission Commander.
While you may not be able to get inside the real MI6, you can visit Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland, which was used as the emergency MI6 headquarters in The World Is Not Enough. It's also one of the most beautiful castles in Scotland – perfect for a Bond-style romantic break.
If your favourite part of a Bond film is the high-speed car chase in his signature slick ride, you're in for a treat at the Beaulieu National Motor Museum in Hampshire. The museum is marking the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series with BOND IN MOTION, the largest official collection of original Bond vehicles the world has ever seen. You'll find everything from the classic Aston Martin DB5 and the Lotus Esprit S1 to Octopussy's screeching Acrostar Jet – all on display until the end of 2012.
Maybe you'd prefer the freedom of the water for your high-speed Bond experience? The Ultimate MI6 Spy Experience is an exhilarating high powered speedboat ride through the very heart of London. As you cut through the Thames at a rate of knots, your guide will regale you with fascinating anecdotes and true stories about Ian Fleming, the British Secret Service, and of course, James Bond himself.
Espionage is hard work, so when your mission is over, whisk your very own 007/Bond Girl away for a relaxing break. The 007 Suite at the Aphrodites Hotel & Lodge in the Lake District is perfect for stylish Bond types. Luxury facilities, breath-taking views and a £3 million spa, plus Bond memorabilia, make for a break Britain's most stylish spy would approve of. Or why not visit the luxury spa at the Luton Hoo Hotel, which appeared in The World is Not Enough and Never Say Never Again.
Give your little ones a taste of the spy life with a stay at London's St Ermin's Hotel. With the Family SpyKids Package every child receives an 'iSpy for St Ermins' pack with code-breaking puzzles and a Secret Agent mission that can win them a coveted spy identity card and a free (non-alcoholic) shaken, not stirred cocktail. With its fascinating spy history (MI6 moved one of its sections into the hotel and Winston Churchill formed the Special Operations Executive here), St Ermin's is the perfect hideaway for a family of budding Bonds.

If the Fourth of July is a celebratory blowout, this past weekend in the region could have well served as a prelude.
There were several opportunities in the region for people to get into the Independence Day groove with festivals that featured carnival attractions, fireworks, food and more.
Perhaps most prominently in Washington County was the launch Saturday of McSummerfest at Heritage Park in McDonald. Going on until this Saturday, the 21st annual event sponsored by McDonald Volunteer Fire Department has a nightly menu of entertainment to accompany a mix of rides, food and other attractions. It officially got under way this past Saturday with a parade at 5 p.m. and a performance by the country rock band Iron Skillet. Sunday was something of a breather for the festival – the rides were still and no entertainment was on tap, but a Community Day celebration kicked off a 9 a.m. with a 5K run and a classic car show, which found about 20 vintage vehicles parked in the lot outside McDonald's Heritage Public Library. The festival is due to swing into gear again today at 6 p.m. Fireworks are set for Friday.
Speaking of fireworks, they were used to wrap up Peters Township's Community Day celebration Saturday at Peterswood Park. Sponsored by the township and Peters Township Chamber of Commerce, the event combined vendors with an assortment of rides, raffles, entertainment and food. Following the heavy rainfall that brought some minor flooding to Washington on Friday, organizers lucked out with decent, if somewhat sticky, weather on Saturday.
"We all said a little prayer and here it is – skies are bright," said Pat Dolanch, a member of the township's Community Day committee, late Saturday afternoon. She explained that somewhere in the vicinity of 4,000 to 6,000 people were expected to venture to the park on Bebout Road during the festival.
The organizers of the community day celebration being put together by the Highland Ridge Community Development Corp. in Washington weren't quite as lucky where the weather was concerned Sunday, as heavy rain and wind moved into the area right when their event was due to kick off at the park at Central and Forrest avenues. However, they moved it inside to the nearby LeMoyne Community Center, where sandwiches and fruit were served.
The celebration marked the end of the five-year, $500,000 grant that the Highland Ridge Community Development Corp. used to develop its Elm Street program, which is designed to help neighborhoods near downtown business districts with physical improvements and planning. Fred Fleet II, the president and CEO of the Highland Ridge Community Development Corp., said "the whole concept" of the Elm Street program had been changed under the administration of Gov. Tom Corbett, but he sees it as a "seed program," and now his organization will be able to seek dollars from a range of other sources.
"We have a lot of sponsors who can help us," Fleet explained. "This is a new adventure."
In Houston, Central Assembly of God sponsored its ninth annual Freedom Festival at the Houston American Legion post Saturday, which included food, music and prizes. Community celebrations also happened Saturday in Muse and Cokeburg.

National Editor Tom KarstSomething you will not hear any large retailer or produce marketer say: Government mandated labeling of genetically modified fruits and vegetables is not needed.
Not when the group "Just Label it" has a reported 990,000 signatures in its petition to FDA calling on the agency to label genetically-engineered foods. Organizers, who also enlisted the support of 500 organizations in favor of the petition, wonder how many people it will take for the FDA to take notice and act on this "right to know" issue.
March 27 is the 180th day of the FDA's review period of the petition, the day that the agency is required to respond to the petition. The petition asks the FDA to issue new regulations requiring labeling of all foods produced using genetic engineering, to change the way it defines "material" change in a food.
In my opinion, the agency will probably issue a nebulous statement in response to the petition, suggesting the issue needs more evaluation and study.
A new poll will be issued by "Just Label It" campaign on March 27, and will show support for labeling of genetically engineered food across party lines.
Polls cited by the campaign point to overwhelming support for labeling genetically engineered food, with more than 90% of Americans apparently in favor the idea. In California, a separate campaign is working to collect enough signatures to put the issue of GMO food labeling on the ballot in November.
This is the type of issue that no retailer or trade group wants to stand in the way of. It is out of the question for any large retailer or food manufacturer to loudly oppose labeling of genetically engineered food. Many will simply stand on the sideline and hope the "Just Label It" passion subsides.
Don't get me wrong. I was fairly strident in support of country of origin labeling for fruits and vegetables. But for some reason, the Utopian idea that consumer should know everything about the food they eat is beginning to seem like piling on. How many more mandates must the food industry absorb?
Think of all the permutations of a particular product sold at retail. First of all, obviously, is the cucumber local or brought in from Mexico? Is the packaging biodegradable and recyclable? Did the grower use sustainable irrigation practices in growing his potatoes? How were the workers treated down on the farm? What pesticides were used by the grower?

The City of Alexandria's GIS Division has opened its brand-new GIS Open Data Portal. This application will allow you to download our data in ESRI's shapefile (.shp) format, as well as other formats (including CSV for tables and spreadsheets, KML (XML) and API) for free. Please note that this new site is a work in progress which will continue to evolve. We are always working to continue to add new data sets, improve open data portal usability and will strive to continue to add new and improved content.
For those looking for the City of Alexandria's complete GIS dataset, it is now available for download HERE. The downloadable ISO file contains the data as a File Geodatabase.
The City of Alexandria's GIS Division manages the City's vast and detailed geographic information database. The City recognizes that this information can be very useful to the public as well as for many other purposes and therefore publishes it semi-annually on DVD for a $100.00 fee* (the approximate cost to produce the disk).
To fully utilize this information most users will need some GIS experience along with appropriate GIS software. As a convenience, the GIS Data DVD includes documentation which provides a link to a free third-party viewer (ArcExplorer) to be able to view the data on the DVD. Users without access to GIS software will need to determine if the viewer is suitable to meet their specific needs. One of the known limitations of the viewer is its inability to read the City's aerial photography in the compressed format in which it is provided (MrSID compression). The DVD includes a link to decompression software (Lizard Tech ExpressViewer Browser Plug-in ), but the process of decompressing can be time-consuming.
Many needs can be addressed without purchasing the GIS Data DVD. Please see our GIS Open Data Portal to download our data in shapefile (.shp) format, as well as other formats, for free. Additionally, those who are interested in basic geographic information or maps of the City are encouraged to visit our Standard Maps page or our Interactive Maps page, where all of the City's most popular maps and interactive viewers can be found.
*Please note that as of January 5th 2009, the cost of the GIS Data DVD is $100.00. Purchaser must also pay a $2.00 postage fee if mailed (if picking up, no postage fee will be charged).
To purchase a DVD by mail:Make checks for $102.00 ($100.00 Data DVD production fee and $2.00 postage fee) payable to "City of Alexandria". (No credit Cards accepted by mail.)

Bernie Wrightson drawing Batman. What more do you really need, beyond knowing that the master storyteller is putting pen to paper on a tale of the Dark Knight? Well, OK. How about industry legend Kevin Nowlan? All bringing to life a story by veteran writer Ron Marz.
This November, the comic book version of the much-loved BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD cartoon series gets a new look and creative team – and series.
When we unveiled the full roster of BRUCE WAYNE: THE ROAD HOME books last month, the covers were kept under tight wraps. But we did reveal one thing – it'd be a connected image, featuring a number of the key characters that reside on the Bat-universe, by none other than SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE artist Shane Davis.

The life of Carly Ferro: 'We lost a prize'By Cristina Kumka
Staff Writer | September 28,2012
You could rarely catch Ron Ferro not talking about his daughter, Carly.
In between flipping omelets and buttering toast at his Over Easy's Restaurant in Cuttingsville on a busy morning, Ferro would gush to customers about how his daughter had shot another great 18 hole score at Rutland Country Club.
The 17-year-old Rutland High School senior was the apple of Ron's eye, evidenced by the picture of a smiling Carly posted at the entrance of his restaurant's kitchen and the many articles written about her posted on the walls.
One headline read, "Ferro not sorry for playing safe," which Ron was quick to point out to newcomers.
For many who knew and loved her, remembering the wide smile and unforgettable giggle of the young high school student Thursday was their only solace.
A day earlier, Carly Ferro's promising life was cut short by an unimaginable tragedy.
Carly was walking to her father's car parked outside her workplace, the Discount Food & Liquidation Center on Cleveland Avenue, at about 6 p.m. Wednesday when a car driven by 23-year-old Alex Spanos of Rutland crashed into the driver's side of the car, struck Carly and pinned the car, and Ron, against the store's brick wall.
Ron was just trying to pick up his daughter from one of her two jobs.
Police found aerosol cans, which can be inhaled to get high, and alcohol at the scene. Officers said they believed these were factors in Spanos losing control of the car.
Carly lay on the concrete outside the store as paramedics tried to save her.
She later died in the hospital.
Her father remained in the hospital Thursday afternoon with a head injury.
Carly's mother, Ellen Ferro, was overcome with grief Thursday and cried as she described all the things she could remember that were special about her daughter.
"She didn't have a mean bone in her body. She was the kindest and sweetest and most caring young lady, and loved people for who they were no matter what," Ellen said. "She was a hard worker with a good work ethic and she always tried her best at everything she did."
Former RHS girls varsity basketball coach Tom Geisler said Carly was "one of the most positive, upbeat people I have ever known. Her smile would light up a room."
"It is such a waste ... In her future, the sky was the limit," Geisler said.
Carly was an avid golfer, basketball player, a member of the RHS Key Club and, for the last 10 years, a member of the district's orchestra.
Through the immediate shock and grief early Thursday, Carly's school stepped up its response to the trauma.
A counselor was put in every one of Carly's classrooms.
Students got together and decided to wear purple, Carly's favorite color, today.
Superintendent Mary Moran said there were "significant ramifications" in each of the district's schools, among students and former teachers.
Administrators met early, before school began, to get briefed on the sensitivity of the situation.
Sam Ferro, Carly's brother, is a graduate of Rutland High and now a junior in college.
Ellen said Carly loved her brother, the only sibling she left behind.
"No one loved her more than her family," Ellen said through tears.
Ellen spoke with hesitation in her voice as if trying to reach her daughter again. She tried to say everything she could about her in a few short minutes.
"She always smiled and giggled," Ellen said. "She was a giggler and loved by everybody. She was a fighter and she tried really hard. She loved Sam. She loved life. She would volunteer and played golf, and managed the basketball team when she was hurt, and she had some really good friends.
"She was honest and she never did anything bad, and was uncomfortable around people that would do bad things. She was just such a great kid," her mom added.
"We lost a prize."
Over Easy's was strangely quiet Thursday around lunchtime.
A note on the door alerted customers to the car accident in which "Ron's daughter didn't make it."
It asked customers for their prayers.
Inside, Lori Turner, a waitress there for the last 18 years, was behind the line in the kitchen instead of Ron for the first time.
She made breakfast for the patrons, answered the constantly ringing phone and tried to stay composed as best as she could, although she was visibly shaken and with red eyes.
Lori hovered over the hot flattop, turned to the side and said, "Why would they take an innocent life?"
A celebration of Carly Ferro's life will take place Saturday at 11 a.m. at Rutland Country Club.

Thank you!
Thank you!
I've been liking what I've been seeing in the GDS newsletter but haven't been active here at the website. I'd like to get my feet wet & give this a try.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
OK, I'll give it another try. You can't really lose in this contest since everyone gets kits.
Welcome to GDS Ann, and Selra, great to have you signing up again.

Hi Cathy,
I will join the contest again. Being a CT at GDS is awesome!
Super to have you signing up again Joyce!
Gotta admit my ignorance. What does ISO stand for? And what is an "enabling thread?" Can you give some examples in this forum? Also, does posting a layout in my blog count as a "gallery?"

Flights to Poland take travellers to Poland's historic cities, the Tatra Mountains and the Baltic coastline. Book airline tickets to Poland's capital, Warsaw to explore its beautiful Market Square and Old Town (Stare Miasto), now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Poland's medieval towns are charming – visit the university town of Lublin or book Poland flights to travel to Krakow, Poland's second city and another UNESCO site. Close by is the eerie Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. In Warsaw, buy a ticket to Poland's moving Historical Museum of Warsaw or head for The Ghetto Wall and Jewish Heritage area.
Travel to Poland for hearty, plentiful food. Try kielbasa (sausage), golabki (cabbage rolls) and pierogi (dumplings). Meats, fish, soups and sauces are often flavoured with dill, marjoram, caraway seeds, wild mushrooms and sour cream. Bigos, a stew of fresh cabbage, onions and meat, is also popular. Try pączki (doughnuts with rose marmalade) in Warsaw and kwaśnica (meat and sauerkraut stew) in the Tatra Mountains. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Poland. Book a Poland holiday in time for the countrywide Constitution Day parades on 3 May or get a ticket to Poland's summer festivals, including the Warsaw Mozart Festival and Krakow's Summer Jazz Festival.

WEB EXTRA: Reused, Recycled Resplendent: Facaro's Chandeliers
It's a rare undergraduate project that becomes an in-demand work of art, but that's exactly how it happened for Carolina Fontoura Alzaga. As an undergraduate studying art, she also happened to be immersed in bike culture. "Everyone I knew used bikes as their sole transportation, and I lived in a warehouse with 12 other people, who constantly had people over. There would be bikes stacked on bikes stacked on bikes," she recalls, not to mention that "I had friends who ran a free community bike shop." It would stand to reason with so many bikes and bike people, she would consequently be surrounded by bike parts too.

One of my favorite protein-rich shakes is Nature's Plus Spirutein Simply Natural Vanilla Protein Powder. I like that it's not sweetened, so I can customize it to my level of comfort, and the vanilla taste is quite pleasing. When I saw a single-serving packet of Spiru-tein Simply Natural Peaches & Cream Protein Powder, I decided that it was the perfect time to try a different flavor. I picked up a pack for $1.49, which was a slightly costly but less risky opportunity to get my Spirutein fix.
I mixed my packet up with a little less than 3/4 cup of water because I like a thicker shake. I was a bit weirded out by the color, as was my boyfriend, who asked me right away, "What IS that??" Still, the smell was delightfully peachy, and I hoped for the best.
I took a bite and quickly discovered that the one packet of sweetener I had put in was just not cutting it. I added another and was more satisfied with the taste. Still, this flavor can only be described as artificial - this is peaches & cream the way it would taste if gummy peach rings married some heavy, not-quite-natural milk product. It was definitely a little too much for me.
Each scoop of Spiru-tein Simply Natural Peaches & Cream Protein Powder provides 100 calories, no fat, 6% of the daily value for sodium, 1 gram of fiber, 9 grams of sugars, 14 grams of protein, and 100% of the DV for vitamins A, C, D, E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, folic acid, B12, biotin, iodine, zinc and pantothenic acid.
The protein blend used is described as, a proprietary non-GMO protein blend (rice protein, pea protein and soy [isolated soy protein and fermented soy]).
Even with those stats, the taste just didn't win me over. Thankfully I had already tried and loved the Vanilla Spirutein flavor, or else I might not give this brand another chance. Thumbs up for Vanilla, but not so much for Peaches & Cream.

The Brewer Games
milwaukee brewers March 8th, 2012
Much like everyone else in the world I recently read Suzanne Collins' hit novel The Hunger Games. It was a pretty good read, quite the page turner actually, and I am excited to see the movie. (Woody Harrelson as Haymitch and Lenny Kravitz as Cinna is seriously inspired casting. And I'd like to give Jennifer Lawrence a Winter's Bone. #ifyouknowwhatimean) The ending left a little bit to be desired, but whatever. I'll probably read the sequels. Katniss is a badass, yo.
Now you may be wondering why I am talking about a YA novel that is soon to be a major motion picture on a Milwaukee Brewers blog. Shouldn't we be talking about spring training or something? Well, first of all I'd like to ask: is this your first time reading this site? Just be happy we're not writing about outfits. Second of all, spring training is borrrriiiiinnnnnggggggg. Thirdly, the book got me thinking about the Milwaukee Brewers and their own killing tendencies.
You see in The Hunger Games there is a tournament with 24 entrants and they must all fight to the death in order to win. The Milwaukee Brewers have 25 roster spots. 25 and 24 are only one number apart! The Hunger Games is filled with a bunch of people with weird names (Katniss, Peeta, Cinna) and so are the Brewers (Norichika, Yovani, "Ryan".) Baseball is a sport and The Hunger Games is like a sporting event. The parallels between this book and the Brewers are endless! (Okay maybe not, but roll with me here.) There are so many similarities between these two things that the question needs to be asked: Who would win the Hunger Games if it only consisted of players on the Brewers 25 man roster? Let's find out. Read the rest of this entry »

I worked some different angles with the goPro. I found that on the back of my 9'6" that the camera tended to be underwater. That's cause I'm heavy. I moved it back to the nose but facing forward. Pleasant surprise that turned out to be.

"Music plays an important part in our history," said Santelli.
It was behind that thought that the GRAMMY® Museum was founded and it is that thought that will continue when the GRAMMY® Museum Mississippi opens in Cleveland at the end of 2014.
Many Mississippians already know that with out this state, and specifically the Mississippi Delta, there would be no American music.
This will be one of the main goals of the GRAMMY® Museum Mississippi – educating through live events and visual and interactive exhibits that will lead visitors through the history and show what role Mississippi has played in developing modern music.
"Visuals and audible arts is a dying form of expression in today's society," said Rita George, deputy director of the GRAMMY® Museum L.A., who was in Cleveland this week as the guest speaker at the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce's Annual Banquet.
"We consider ourselves to be an educational institution in L.A. and hope that the idea translates to this new museum in Mississippi," George continued.
"In our Clive Davis Theater in L.A. we put on education workshops offered to schools and civic groups that highlight topics like: analyzing lyrics, building exhibits, careers in music, the music in war, the music that inspired the Civil Rights Movement, the art of songwriting, careers in music journalism, hip-hop history, the history of heavy metal, women in music, and so much more," she said.
"These programs are sort of our anchor and we build from there," she added. "We build specialized workshops based on individual genres, or even artists, and use these tools as a form of music education. For example we have an educational program that we call 'Backstage Pass as L.A. Live."
She went on to explain that Backstage Pass is a career exploration program that gives students a first hand look at what it takes to get a job in the music industry. Each program consists of a question and answer session with a guest artist as well as a private performance of two or three songs.
Often hosting four or five of these types of educational events every month in L.A., George said that the proximity to Delta State University, the Bologna Performing Arts Center and the Delta Music Institute is part of the reason that Cleveland was chosen as Mississippi's museum site.
"We have nothing with the capacity of the BPAC at our disposal in L.A.," said George. "Couple that with the state-of-the-art music programs offered at Delta State by the Delta Music Institute and Cleveland is perfect place to continue our goal of educating today's youth on the music industry."
The GRAMMY® Museum Mississippi will offer many opportunities to Cleveland and the Mississippi Delta, including high-tech galleries with interactive opportunities, music history and trivia, and, of course, some exhibits of performer outfits and instruments — lots and lots of instruments.

"The government shutdown has become a teachable moment for youngsters, from moms who teach their kids that actions have consequences to civics classes that teach about democracy at work," according to a recent report by USA TODAY.
In the article, Pankaj Sharma, a teacher at Niles North High School in Skokie, Ill., was reported as saying he wants his "students to learn about the impact of politics on government and how growing partisanship affects even simple functions such as passing a funding resolution to keep government operating.
"I also would like my students to learn the importance of compromise in our system of government and why compromise sometimes is difficult to achieve," he said. One senior, Chris Biundo, said the shutdown "shows that our lawmakers can't talk to each other without yelling. It also shows the weakness of our government and the people voting for them."
With hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed, national parks closed and numerous government services on hold, many may agree with U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce's comment that "Government is not the solution to the problem, government IS the problem."
Regardless of your personal view of who is right and who is wrong in any government crisis, many people will admit they desire a government without gridlock, shutdowns and oppression. That makes the current government crisis a teachable moment on a very important level. For example, what does frustration with any human government teach us about putting our trust in humans?
Getting to the heart of the matter, Psalms 146:3-5 says, "Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they die, they return to the dust; on that day all their plans come to an end. Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them and who depend on the Lord their God." — Good News Translation.
A person is less frustrated with their government when they realize that human rule is limited in what it can do and often ends in disappointment. As the Bible acknowledges at Ecclesiastes 8:9, "Sometimes people exercise power over each other to their detriment." — Common English Bible.
While this is true — depending on God, trusting in Him to help us, leads to greater happiness now, hope for the future and peace of mind. In fact, this Almighty God has made arrangements for a government without gridlock, oppression and violence of any kind.
At Daniel 7:13-14, Daniel saw a vision of a new form of rulership to encompass the earth. Daniel wrote, "I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! With the clouds of the heavens, someone like a son of man was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him up close before that One. And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away and his kingdom will not be destroyed." — New World Translation.
Jesus Christ is the one given rulership and a kingdom that will not be destroyed, according to Isaiah 9:6-7, which states, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end." — King James Version.
As King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus will "increase his government" and bring peace. He will do what no human governments has been able to accomplish in history. According to Psalm 72:11-14, "All kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him. He will rescue the poor when they cry to him; he will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. He feels pity for the weak and the needy and he will rescue them. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to him." — New Living Translation.
Not only will God's Kingdom bring relief to the poor and needy, but Psalms 46:9 says, "He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth." — New International Version. Can you imagine a world without violence, wars, poverty or government gridlock? How about a world without any sickness, disease or death?
Matthew 10:7-8 shows Jesus and his apostles gave people a taste of what God's kingdom would do when it comes. He told them, "As you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give." — New King James Version.
Free health care? Freedom from sickness and death? Freedom from oppression and war? Freedom from government shutdowns and imperfect rulers? Is that what you want? No more gridlock? According to the Bible, it is coming. God's Word at Daniel 2:44 gives us an overview of what this heavenly kingdom will do.
If you too prefer Divine rule, then heed the words of Jesus Christ when he taught us to pray for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Do your utmost to seek first that kingdom and God's righteousness. Become teachable, not just in these "teachable moments," but as a way of life and the Almighty will guide you to the way that leads to eternal life.

It's fairly common knowledge that smoking and tobacco products can cause some serious health problems. A definite relationship between smoking and hair loss has not exactly been proven but there is plenty of evidence that the disruption of circulation in the body can be an underlying cause. Tobacco contains nicotine which is responsible for constricting blood vessels. It would be very wise for you to have a good long think about stopping smoking and the various stop smoking products like the ecig, nicotine patches and gum that are available for you to try.
The carbon monoxide in the smoke reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and also restricts the movement of nutrients to each cell. In order to see the effect of poor circulation, squeeze your nail bed until it becomes white. Release and see how long it takes to return to its normal colour. It should take less than 2 seconds. Now time how long it takes just after you smoke a cigarette and you will see a big difference.
In order to function properly, hair follicles need to receive enough oxygen, nutrients and minerals. Due to the effect of smoking on the body's general blood circulation, it is obvious that this will be compromised and the hair follicles will not get everything they need in order to produce normal hair growth. This scenario would not happen if you decided to join a growing trend of cigarette smokers and try a electronic cigarette UK with all of the different flavour options
Another possible theory surrounding the connection between smoking and hair loss is based on the overall health concerns related to smoking. Smoking causes a number of serious medical problems and can impair the function of the various systems in the body. The organs of an unhealthy body cannot function properly which can lead to an increase in toxins, poisons, infections, bacteria and more to make their way through the whole body. These harmful substances can then have a negative effect on the hair follicles and hair growth can become inhibited.
Aging, going grey and hair loss
Smoking is known to speed up the aging process and hair loss is a common symptom of aging. Smokers are already aware of the fact that they are likely to develop wrinkles, facial discolouration and grey hair. The facts speak for themselves and if you want to change this damage you might want to try a e cigarette starter kit from a reputable ecigarette online store. According to recent studies, premature hair loss could possibly also be a symptom of premature aging seen in smokers. A Leigh Infirmary researcher in Lancashire, England noticed a significantly higher rate of hair loss and grey hair in smokers and reported that smokers are twice as likely to lose their hair or go grey by a certain age. This was published in the British Medical Journal, December 21, 1996.
