Audience Etiquette Music-lovers source new bands, live music venues and subscribe to mailing lists of their favourite artists and bands to find out when and where they are playing next. There is a massive appreciation by musicians for true fans. Musicians are thrilled and touched the music they perform creates a fan frenzy – that's when they know they are doing something right and it encourages them further. However there are those types of audiences that just do not react or respond – a lot of the time this has to do with their culture or the type of the environment where the live music is set-up, or even that the artist or band are not that good. Regardless of all of these reasons audiences need to be polite and respectful to performers at all times. There are many studies on how performers need to own the stage and grab the attention of the audience – but sometimes it is up to the audience to participate and show some adoration. Western cultures have choice to enjoy what they want, when they want. However some audiences' reaction to performance are a reflection on their culture and education. They are taught to not clap, dance, sing-along or cheer 'bravo!' – no expression at all. The Islamic religion forbids Muslim men and women to play or listen to any music that is entertaining, even instrumental. As people move countries, cultures mix and become diverse; modifications occur. Restricted cultures are starting to explore more and bring these new discoveries home – sometimes with severe consequences like death from non-acceptance of incorporating additions into their traditional old- age religion. During the Nazi Holocaust Jews were not allowed to be involved in any cultural activity from music, art, literature to film. In Cambodia in 1975 all cultural history was burnt and musicians were killed to eradicate music, books, art and film. Cultures who were affected by leaders who tried to eliminate music and even nations involved with music eventually rebelled, escaped and continued to perform and support cultural works. So now think about all the westerners out there worldwide with free reign, that have that choice and have had music around them their whole life – they have no excuse other than to show appreciation to musicians. They have been educated to clap, taught to give a standing ovation when deemed necessary and know when to be still and watch attentively until the performance in done. Regardless if the band is playing their first gig in a run-down pub or at the peak of their career in Central Park Stadium – Ladies and Gentlemen put your hands together and make some noise! The audience needs to understand that performers or bands are employed for their skill – it is each Musician Jobs, their right to be on stage – they earned it. What they do is NOT going to be replaced by someone who thinks they can sing or play drums. In no way it is tolerable to ask if you can sing a song, or say that your friend is the best singer in the world. It is definitely unacceptable to walk onto the stage at any point, do not throw drinks or any items towards the stage for fun (you could kill someone if the drinks reach any live plugs!) and an even bigger No-No to touch the musicians' music equipment from microphone to guitar to drumsticks – just forget it. A good wireless microphone costs at least £850 and that's without discussing the hygiene issues at hand when you slobber into it, so do not contemplate any form of over-stepping the mark, as the security will gladly remove you and the musicians will send you a bill for damages. The stage is a platform, a space dedicated to the musicians. Unless they reach out to you, you do not reach out to them – that is audience etiquette to be polite and accept what is given. Do not ever assume that any musician is disposable to you – they are not. If you have no idea what the boundaries are anymore due to alcohol and drugs or whatever made you lose control – go home, because you will spoil the performance for everyone else. There should be a big sign at the front of the stage, which says: 'respect musicians and live music – just watch, enjoy and clap loudly' or 'nuisances not allowed'. These kinds of people and acts vex musicians; it's bad mannered. Do not be surprised when the musicians lash out in protection of themselves and their expensive equipment. How would you like a client coming into your workplace, saying they can do your job better, then empty the rubbish bin onto your computer or on you?! You wouldn't like it at all. Know your boundaries, a stage is the workspace for musicians and backstage technicians ONLY. At no point is it appropriate for the audience to try and communicate to the musicians on stage whilst they are playing. If you would like a request to be played, write it on a piece of paper and hand it to the backstage technicians or staff to give to the band – and if your song is not played, well do not take this personally. The band is not your personal jukebox and hired by management to play certain songs (whether original or covers). It is quite astonishing how movie houses, theatres and concert halls now announce: "Ladies and Gentlemen, please turn off you mobile phones as the show is about to begin." SMS, Twitter, Facebook and email are addictive but surely there is a time to switch off from the world and enjoy life without interruption with our loved ones. In the late 1990's most people didn't have a mobile phone and our grandparents had no idea how to send a text message and life was grand. Half the problem nowadays is that technology has created anti-social communication environment face-to- face – how many times do you go to dinner with friends and at least two of you are sending text messages not catching up with everyone else. Now imagine sitting at a concert watching a live performance whilst the lead male or female singer accepts a call in the middle of their song. What?! Yes, you as the audience know that will not happen. However you do that to the performer when they are singing to you, performing for you – whilst you put your head down to send a message to someone else instead or even worse accept a call. It's unacceptable and plain rude – put your phone away. If however if you call someone, say listen to this and put your phone in the air and show appreciation – that is acceptable as sharing is caring. But do remember to then end the call promptly and continue to pay homage to the musicians on stage. Playing music for musicians or singing a song is exposure for an artist. It takes concentration, hard work, talent, expertise and courage to stand in the spotlight and bare his or her soul through music. It is your job as the audience is to give them your full attention by watching and listening intently, to clap appropriately and participate with enthusiasm when asked by the performer. The stage is only for the musicians and technicians to perform to you. It is for you. Have fun, let loose, take photos and film them (if permitted) and forget about your phone for once. Put you hands together, wave them in the air like you just don't care and appreciate the art of music.

Seattle, Wash.: Today, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center dedicated the new five-story Janet Sinegal Patient Care Building located at 4800 Sand Point Way NE. Designed by HKS, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, and built by Sellen Construction of Seattle, the building includes artwork created by Northwest artists. The building will increase Children's total inpatient capacity from 208 to 250 beds, the first inpatient bed expansion in 25 years.
"The new Janet Sinegal Patient Care Building would not have been possible without the generosity, drive and compassion of our dedicated supporters and benefactors, who help us fulfill the promise of delivering the best pediatric health care anywhere," said Dina Wells, Board of Trustees at Children's. "Janet Sinegal is one of our true heroes. We are delighted to honor her commitment and devotion to the health care of children by naming our newest facility for her."
Janet Sinegal is an active trustee in Children's Hospital's Guild Association, Foundation and Hospital boards and the first person to serve simultaneously on all three. Together with her husband, Jim, president and CEO of Costco Wholesale, they have spearheaded fundraising efforts involving Costco employees and vendors that have contributed significantly to Children's. The Sinegals have also given generously to Children's on a personal basis.
The new building will house a medical unit, surgery and rehabilitation units, a meditation room, play areas, teen activity rooms, shower facilities and 80 single- and double-occupancy patient rooms equipped with the latest medical technology and designed with flexible space that can readily adapt to changes in medical practice. Each patient room includes a pullout couch and large windows.
"This building will help meet the ever-increasing needs of our growing region and the advancements in pediatric specialty care and technology," said Richard Molteni, M.D., Medical Director at Children's. "Our new facility was designed to provide more privacy and comfort for families while allowing the flexibility to accommodate future growth. "
The facility was made possible by contributions from private donors, who contributed more than half of the total cost of the new building. The building and planned renovations to the existing inpatient wing is budgeted for a little over $60 million.
Parents of patients were consulted on room design, furniture, color schemes and artwork. Using this input, local artists created whimsical safari, wetlands, beach and "Our Town" design themes for different floors of the building.
"Since 1907, the mission of Children's Hospital has been to care for all children, regardless of their families' ability to pay," Treuman Katz, president and CEO at Children's. "This has been made possible by the extremely generous support of the entire community. We are very grateful and appreciative of those who worked tirelessly to ensure that Children's remains one of the best children's hospitals in the country."
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

Reasonable is a question even lawyers for the closing are contending with if the closing is delayed for days or even weeks.
What is within reason? In your case, anytime after 1PM is generally acceptable. When your home inspection is cancelled even though it is set within the reasonable time set by the seller once--there should be an extenuating circumstance to deem the cancellation reasonable.
Let us say there was indeed an extenuating circumstance, then this instance can be forgiven.
However, if the sellers cancel again the second inspection which is scheduled during the time that the sellers can accommodate, which is anytime after 1PM, then the sellers reasonable availability is unreasonably unavailable.
Are weekends included on the reasonable availability? If not, then the sellers have the right to refuse to cancel the home inspection. Has there been a miscommunication?
Anyway, as stated earlier by other professionals, there is a home inspection contingency date. If this can't be performed within the set period, just to be on the safe side, have your agent extend the contingency date.
I hope that you can get this done three days before the contingency date to give you some time to get the report especially the water test or any other tests that require laboratory work to get the results.
Home inspection is a very important step of your transaction. Home inspection periods usually run 10 to 17 days after acceptance of offer depending on your purchase agreement and what was negotiated.
You need to make sure to have your inspection done before that time is up. Reason being if you come to find out there is something wrong with the house and you really do not want to go ahead with the transaction, then you can have your escrow cancelled and get your initial deposit back. If it is passed that agreed inspection period you will not get your deposit back. That is the norm.
So, check your purchase agreement and see how many days you've been given for an inspection and then you can ask your agent to work this out for you that's what he or she is getting paid to do and I'm sure they'll be able to help.
Good luck to you! Remember Day Creek Realty is giving cash back to buyers and sellers pass it on :)

Perfect for wrapping up with a blanket and a glass of sippin' whiskey
Guitar World presents five headphone songs guaranteed to blow your mind.
An exclusive interview with Sarah and Charlotte Command.
Fireworks has released an exclusive acoustic EP. The three-track EP includes a new song, one song from their previous album Gospel, and one from their recently released album, Oh, Common Life. All proceeds from purchases of the EP will go to Alternatives For Girls, a Detroit organization that aims to help homeless and high-risk girls and young women avoid violence, teen pregnancy and exploitation.
Detroit-based pop-punk band Fireworks are the subject of photographer Ryan Russell's latest "Nervous Energies" video session. The song, "Run, Brother, Run," is taken from the band's newest album Oh, Common Life, which was released March 25th. Composed of vocalist David Mackinder, lead guitarist Brett Jones, guitarist Chris Mojan, bassist Kyle O'Neil and keyboardist Adam Mercer, Fireworks is a band filled with electric personalities and endless influences.

As the seventh season of Desperate Housewives, an ABC channel soap that airs in India on Star World concluded last Sunday, I felt as if a close "gurlfriend" had walked away.
DH, the spicy-satirical-funny-insightful narrative of the lives of wives on Wisteria Lane in an American suburb is enticing, if you are hooked to the battle field of human relationships. Loved by many and scoffed by as many viewers across the world, for its girly ghetto and the caustic emotional roller coaster it spins with each episode, the serial is to me a Gurlz Guide to the Seven Sins of desperation. It lays bare the frailties and fragility of relationships, telling us where we could stumble and fall and how to then pick up, dust ourselves off and walk on.
For someone like me, who would eagerly apply for the post of Relationships Editor if there was such a job in a publication, these four temperamental women Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross) Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher) and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) are the faces of four perplexions (at least) that constantly dog women's lives. Each represents a dilemma. If Gabrielle is all Gloss That Keeps Going for Toss, like a glistening cellophane paper tightly pulled over childhood trauma; Bree represents Come Let's Commit a Crime -- a "sin" arena we constantly try to protect ourselves from. Lynette is the Incurable Control Freak and Susan Ms Empathy corrupted by Self-Sympathy.
You are guessing right if you are reading this no editor will pass these lines in my copy. Which is why I take the recourse of a blog to make the point that Desperate Housewives is akin to upside-down relationships whether we are married or single, gay or heterosexual, monogamous or just phonogamous.

Mitch Singer Named Special Adviser at Content Protection Tech Company Verance (Exclusive)
The former Sony Pictures exec is also president of DECE, the organization that developed the UltraViolet digital locker system.
Mitch Singer — Sony Pictures Entertainment's former chief digital strategy officer and current president of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem consortium — has been named special adviser, industry affairs at content protection technology developer Verance.
As president of DECE, the 75-member consortium behind "digital locker" system UltraViolet, Singer leads the effort to create open standards for digital entertainment distribution allowing consumers to access their content anytime on a range of devices.
PHOTOS 35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies
At Sony, Singer served as chief digital strategy officer and executive vp of SPE's digital policy group until he left the studio last March. As part of his responsibilities, he played a key role in Sony Pictures' anti-digital theft and digital rights management efforts, for which he served as lead negotiator in content protection technology licensing issues.
At Verance, Singer will work to expand Verance's commercial relationships, as well as use of its Cinavia content protection and consumer referral technology, which has been incorporated in more than 100 million devices since its launch in 2006.
The Cinavia technology was created to limit the use of pirated movies by blocking playback of unauthorized copies. A recently launched update provides blocked consumers with immediate access to legitimate copies of the content they want to watch.
Singer was an early proponent of Cinavia. "At Sony Pictures, I saw firsthand how the Cinavia content protection technology drives additional sales by changing consumer viewing habits from piracy to purchase," Singer said. "As digital convergence makes both of these options available on more devices in more places, Cinavia provides a critical tool for channeling mainstream consumers to the legitimate services on which the industry's future relies."
Said Verance CEO Nil Shah of Singer's appointment: "As a visionary executive on the frontlines of digital policy, Mitch's experience will be invaluable as he works with the industry to grow a robust marketplace for filmed entertainment."
Singer formally sat on the boards of Motion Picture Laboratories, DVD CCA, Entertainment Technology Center @ USC and the HDBaseT Alliance. He also was appointed to the copyright committee for The National Academies' Board on Science, Technology and Economic Policy.

I talked to a travel agent about booking a trip for seven members of my family to England and France--not a pre-done tour, but a custom job. He said his agency requires $100 for him to work on it because it would take many hours. I realize it will take a lot of time and $100 isn't a lot of money, but I always thought TA's got paid from commissions from airlines, etc. What's the story?
How much do you pay a travel agent?

They do charge a fee, based on what they're doing.
The $100 is probably not bad, but then again, I never use a travel agent.
Report Abuse
There is a huge difference between a travel agent and a travel planner. $100 is Nothing to 'plan' a trip for seven. I'd be concerned she doesn't know much about the UK and is just booking places (her TA hat on) . . . and isn't 'planning' anything.
A fully custom itinerary for a trip for 2 or 3 weeks for seven (not even doing any of the actual booking) would cost $500 or more - and could be MUCH more depending on how complex the itinerary is.
Just what is she doing for you - is it something you can't do yourself for some reason?
$100 sounds like she is just booking things like rental cars or maybe train tickets. Or possibly chain hotels. And no - TAs don't get much in the way of commissions nowadays.
Report Abuse
There is a difference between a travel planner/consultant and a travel agent. I am a travel planner, I do custom work and am not affiliated with any other companies. I don't take any commission from hotels, tour companies etc, and my clients pay me up front for a custom designed trip. My fee for a custom trip for 7 people would far exceed $100.
A travel agent usually does get their fee in the form of commission from hotels, tour operators etc. Since commission on airfare in basically non-existant, there is usually now a fee for an agent to book airline tickets.
More and more agents now take a fee up front as a way to offset the time and effort involved in doing the work and research, but then having the client take that info and book their own trip on the internet or elsewhere. Taking a deposit up front lets them know you're serious. And again $100 is nothing for the type of trip you're looking at.
And depending on the type of trip you are planning, there may not be very much commission involved in the booking, so the agent may also charge a fee for their time.
I hope that helps.
Have a great trip

Are you sure that $100 isn't just a deposit? That doesn't sound like anywhere near enough money to plan the entire trip for 7 people.
Report Abuse
I don't think you'd get much of a trip plan for $100.00. This is Fodor's! You can probably do a better job yourself.
Report Abuse
I think $100 is enough.
Comments have been removed by Fodor's moderators

There are a lot of variables involved, a travel agents commission depends on their annual sales so a new agent may require a fee + commission to account for the time spent planning the trip. Really depends on your personal preference, if you're a busy person and the time spent would far exceed $100 of work then use the travel agent, if you are someone who is retired and on a fixed income perhaps planning yourself would be best. Go with your gut, if this person seems knowledgeable and would save you a head ache from mistakes in your itinerary then use the agent (Agents make mistakes too just far less often and usually can fix without more frustration).

And you thought it a good idea to top a 2 yo thread to post that???
I'm sure the OP still isn't sitting on that decision 2 years later.

The Sleepers are an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois.
This is a completely different band from the San Francisco punk band (1977-1982), and has none of the same members in common.
This band formed in 2002, where they performed their first concert at Brixie's in Brookfield, Illinois. Since then they have played at venues throughout the Midwest and West Coast, performing their own music as well as occasional cover songs.
In the Summer of 2005, The Sleepers recorded their debut album, Push It Nationwide, with Jim Diamond at Ghetto Recorders in Detroit, Michigan. Jim Diamond is a veteran music producer, studio engineer, and bass player based in Detroit, Michigan. As proprietor and chief engineer at Ghetto Recorders, Diamond has worked with several well-known indie rock performers, including The Dirtbombs, The Fleshtones, Electric Six, The Witches, Bantam Rooster, The Come Ons, The Volebeats, The Gore Gore Girls, The Mooney Suzuki, The Compulsive Gamblers, The Dirtys, The Ponys, The Volebeats, The Go, Outrageous Cherry, Paik, The Clone Defects, They Come In Threes, The Sights, The White Stripes, and The Hentchmen.
The Sleepers signed a record deal with Pravda Records in Chicago and released their sophomore record Comeback Special on February 26, 2008.
In May 2009, the band announced that their lead singer, Tommy Richied, will be leaving the band. The remaining four members of The Sleepers continued on as a 4-piece under the name The South Sixteens. It was recently announced that Tommy Richied will be rejoining the band in 2011 and they will perform select shows throughout the year.
Television and film[edit]
- The show Reaper on The CW Television Network used the song "Dirty Cop" in the Season 1 finale episode "Cancun."
- The television sitcom Love Monkey on VH1 starring Jason Priestley used the song "Don't Let Me In" in an episode.
- MTV has used the song "Jet Set Trash" (Push It Nationwide) for its show entitled "Rob and Big", as well as the song "Last Cowboy" (Push It Nationwide) for the most recent season of The Real World.
- The television sitcom The Bad Girls Club has used the songs "Bad For Me" and "Jet Set Trash" (Push It Nationwide) in recent episodes.
- The song "Loaded" is featured on the soundtrack to a YouTube fan film sequel entitled "JC's Halloween II" (not the Rob Zombie film).

Greenfield police warned neighboring residents in a fight about "no trespassing" signs May 18.
According to the Greenfield police report:
A resident in the 4000 block of West Granada Street called police to report his neighbor was harassing him at 9:05 a.m. May 18.
The caller said his neighbor approached him and told him he needs to talk to him or he is going to take him to court.
Police spoke to the neighbor, who said he was upset over the "no trespassing" signs in the caller's yard, saying he is unable to sell his house because of them and wants them taken down.
The neighbor was advised that police had already addressed the issue with the caller, but he is unwilling to take them down.
After leaving the residence police received another call from the resident, who asked the officers to return to see the sign his neighbor just put up in his yard.
The neighbor apparently put a "no trespassing" sign up in his yard as well, and above "no trespassing" he wrote "Drunk Thief Deadbeat Dog Beater."
Police warned both residents about their behavior.

A/n: This is the prologue to a story I'm writing. Please review, wo I'll know you want more!!
The Fire.
A tortured tyrant
A masked murderer
Secret and silent
Growing against darkness
The Fire
How I try to hide
I try to fight it
I know I can not resist
The power that it gives
The Fire
Hidden behind a human heart
Sending a spark
Making a love turn to passion
Turning simplicity into genius
The Fire
It is one and only
It is nothing and every thing
It is the single for it is what it is
The Fire
-Michelle Hyde (NOT ME)
Darkness. It was all the my life consisted of now. Darkness and fire. I tried to think back to a time when my life was constantly revolving around fire, but it was impossible. I didn't know how prominent the darkness was either, but it could definitely do some damage.

Flavorful Southwestern Chili
"This filling, hearty recipe comes from my grandmother," writes Jenny Greear from Huntington, West Virginia. "It's full of flavor, freezes beautifully and makes a complete, last-minute meal. I top it grated cheddar cheese and chopped black olives and serve tortilla chips on the side." JENNY'S TIP: "If I'm feeding a crowd, I increase the pinto beans to four cans to make the meat go farther."View Flavorful Southwestern Chili Recipe

Planes, gliders, balloons take to the skies from Sterling Airport
Planes await pilots at Sterling Airport. (
Item photo/KEN CLEVELAND
By Ken Cleveland ITEM CORRESPONDENT
Add a comment
From Sterling Airport, one can easily take to the skies. The harder decision may be which mode of travel to use.
There are no Boeings there; no Airbus touches down on the 3,086-foot runway.
But, from the grassy edges of Sterling Airport, spectators are often settled in, watching airplanes take off and land or gliders soaring on thermal currents.
The small planes, little Piper Cubs and Cessnas, give people easy access to the air.
Thats helpful for business people who want to avoid the long delays of commercial travel.
But besides business travelers, there are a host of pleasure pilots, who use the planes for sightseeing, and their personal travel.
Not all the flights there, however, require power.
The Greater Boston Glider Club is based at the Sterling Airport
On weekends, the gliders can be seen, floating like silent birds far above. They need a boost from a tow plane to get there, but once airborne, an experienced glider pilot can enjoy the scenery with no sounds from their craft while they ride the currents.
And another addition to the craft based at the airport needs no engine at all to take to the skies, although it lacks the finesse of steering that comes from other modes of flight.
Bob Martel, of Sterling, takes people aloft in balloons, his Boston Hot Air Balloon Rides using the airport as a base to travel, well, where the winds take him.
The facilities and the location, thats key to most any airport, Tom Duffy, the airport manager, said about the sites success.
The gliders, a number of years ago, returned to the airfield after trying other locations.
It gives them enough room to launch their gliders, Duffy said.
The airport is part of Sterling.
It puts the town on the map, Duffy said. There are lots of small businesses that rely on aircraft. The location right off I-190 is also good for students, he said, and pilots from Boston to Worcester often prefer the easy access the airport can boast.
Its small enough, being a non-towered field, They dont have to deal with air traffic control, something helpful for beginners as well as experienced pilots.
There were quite a bit of people talking to the people at the gliders at the Sterling Fair, Duffy said.
The airport shuts down every fall for the duration of the traditional Sterling Fair, which locates on the site.
For kids, kids at heart, and those with any inclination for aviation, Duffy said of flying at the airport. They find it is not a scary thing, compared to what he said were peoples general fears of flying in smaller craft.
An introduction flight can let people experience flight, and even get their hands on the controls.
Urban Aviation Services, Inc., operated by Ed Urbanowski, operates the flight school at the airport.
It is a busy airport at times, Urbanowski said. Its a gem of an airport in this area, boasting favorable winds down the large, grass runway.
He flies an older type Piper built in 1946.
It was built to land on grass strips, so they love that grass runway, Urbanowski said.
Urbanowski runs four planes out of the airport, including an aerobatic plane, the Piper, as well as a Cessna Skyhawk (with all the equipment of an airliner) and a Cessna 150.
He would like to add an old biplane, similar to one housed at the airfield.
I think they really enjoy it, Urbanowski said of students using the airport.
He does a lot of flight instruction, but added, I need to do more playing for myself. Thats what I enjoy a lot.
He also runs a maintenance shop at the field that helps maintain the planes there.
Potential students can get an introductory flight to see if flying might be right for them.
Urbanowski stressed the importance of teaching safety.
Theres a lot more decision than in an automobile. My job is to make sure everybody is safe, he said. Its a friendly airport, a more relaxed atmosphere.
Martel lives across the street form the airport, making it a convenient location.
Ive been flying out of there off and on for about four years, Martel said. From a balloon standpoint, its a great location. Prevailing winds are from the west.
He said he generally tries to go north of the reservoir.
I dont want to get stuck over the reservoir, Martel said.
He uses propane, enough for about 1.5 hours of flight. How far the balloon travels depends on wind speed.
Wind often takes him and his passengers over the center of Sterling, toward Clinton, Lancaster, Harvard, sometimes as far as Stow and a rare landing at Minuteman Airfield, where he sometimes launches from.
You cant choose a landing site, he said of the balloons dependence on the wind.
The airport is friendly and supportive, Martel said. When we do fly, its at different times than the gliders. We fly early, at sunrise, to avoid the thermals, which gliders wait for. Its very complementary.
The balloon is still a bit of a novelty. Its unlike a plane or glider a different flying sensation, Martel said. Its like a magic carpet ride.
The ride can be exciting as well as relaxing.
Sometimes we do a splash and dash, touching the water, he said, and he often sees wildlife from his overhead perspective.
Its still magical when you land. Kids come out. Theyre awed by the whole experience, Martel said. Its all about sharing the magic.
Fights range from fall foliage flights to flights with special meaning. Last weekend, I did an engagement. He asked her to marry him at 3,000 feet.
In my experience, the airport has been very accommodating, Mike Biagioni said. As membership director for the Greater Boston Gliding Club, he shares the experiences with many potential converts.
The area seems to be a reasonable location. There isnt excessive amount of power traffic, which can be conflicting at times at some locations, Biagioni said. For the most part I havent seen any real conflicts. The pattern minimizes conflict with power traffic.
Gliders usually operate on the weekend.
For those who want to do a one-time ride, he suggests a late-afternoon ride. The introductory package, or one through the Soaring Society of America, can introduce a person to the sensation.
Many return for lessons.
There is little conflict with planes in the air, as well.
Gliders are looking for unstable air; power traffic prefers smoother air, Biagioni said. The area does have sufficient thermal activity.
The club owns eight gliders, four single seat and four two-seats.
The great white fleet are the private Fiberglas gliders, he said. The clubs gliders are mostly metal, which can stand out in the weather.
Gliding doesnt mean leaving a tow plane and gliding in.
Some can go out at 11 a.m. and come back at 5 or 6 p.m., Biagioni said. Some have gone as far as the Canadian border and returned in the same day.
Some have gotten in excess of 25,000 feet, although that requires special equipment, like oxygen, plus flight clearance.
Biagioni said his longest flight has been two-and-a-half hours, typical for most. For club craft, there is a one-hour restriction, unless no one is waiting for the glider.
They pay strict attention to weather forecasts days in advance, he said of planning that goes into flights. On occasion they dont all make it back. They plan their route so theyre never out of distance of an airport, although some miss that and need to be crated back.
Biagioni said he gets two or three inquires a week about the introductory flights.
Instruction is free; however, it is only offered to members.
We find people come for the intro ride and get hooked on it, Biagioni said. I dont know how many kids I put inside that glider, he said about the glider on display during the Sterling Fair.
A lot of people stop by and watch, he said of the spectator activity while the gliders are active. Some will come in and ask questions. We love to have them.

Set between Los Angeles and London during the last weeks of the calendar year, The Holiday is about two women who share the need for a change of scenery. In SoCal, movie trailer producer Amanda (Cameron Diaz) has just kicked her no-good, cheating boyfriend to the curb. Across the pond, Daily Telegraph wedding reporter Iris (Kate Winslet) has discovered that her own unfaithful ex, for whom she still not-so-secretly pines, is getting hitched to another woman. Lo and behold, these two inconsolable lonely hearts stumble upon one another in an Internet chat room, bond over their mutual hatred for the male of the species and promptly negotiate a house swap: Amanda's epic Brentwood mansion for Iris' quaint gingerbread cottage.
Meyers, whose films have collectively grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, is probably the most quantifiably successful woman filmmaker in Hollywood at the moment, and beyond her impressive ticket sales, she's garnered a reputation for crafting the kind of empowered female characters that women are always complaining there aren't enough of in the movies. But with the notable exception of Meyers' debut feature as a writer-producer—1980's Private Benjamin—her films strike me as retrograde toward the fairer sex in ways that would get a male director strung up by his toes. In What Women Want, for example, when Mel Gibson's cock-of-the-walk ad man is gifted with the ability to hear women's innermost thoughts, the things he hears only reinforce every stereotype that preening chauvinists already have about women: that they're overly self-conscious, that they're hung up on penis envy and that, basically, there's nothing wrong with them that a little sweet talk and a roll in the hay won't cure. Then, in Something's Gotta Give, Meyers offers up Diane Keaton as the supposed epitome of independent-minded modern womanhood, only to reveal her as a man-hungry pushover ready to fall into the arms of anyone who still finds her attractive, be it the womanizing Jack Nicholson or the young-enough-to-be-her-son Keanu Reeves.
Now, in The Holiday, Meyers gives us two younger women who swear off men, sit around blaming themselves for their romantic failings and, at the earliest opportunity, dive headfirst back into the relationship cesspool. When Iris' studly brother, Graham (the ubiquitous Jude Law), shows up unannounced (and drunk) on Amanda's doorstep not 24 hours after her arrival, she beds down with him posthaste. Meanwhile, Iris wastes little time in striking up more than a friendship with self-effacing film composer Miles (Jack Black), no matter that he's already in a relationship. Somehow, despite Meyers' exaltation of fidelity early in the film, this is supposed to be OK, because, well, Iris and Miles are clearly made for each other.
Though Meyers tips her hat to filmmakers of the 1940s, the mix of bawdy sex comedy and meaningful relationship picture to which she aspires was still alive in Hollywood as recently as the 1970s, and as The 40-Year-Old Virgin confidently proved last year, such things remain possible even today. But the sad truth of The Holiday is that, for much of the time it's up there on the screen, it is smarter and savvier than the Hollywood norm, by which I mean pretty much anything starring some combination of Sandra Bullock, Hugh Grant, Kate Hudson and one of the Wilson brothers. Meyers can write a good zinger, and she has a knack for casting actors who not only look good in bed, but are talented enough to rise above the material and, in some cases, nearly transform it. But make no mistake: If you really love the smart, golden-age-of-Hollywood romantic comedies as much as Meyers claims that she does—the ones with the "powerhouse" (to borrow Meyers' own word) women and the crackling wit—you'll probably want some Holiday after The Holiday.

Even though we ARE Nikon lovers,we are NOT affiliated with Nikon Corp. in any way.
Already have an account? Login
Just recently when shooting in Program Mode the camera just doesn't take a good picture. If I set the ISO, then in P mode the camera should set the aperature and shutter speed right? I don't have to mess with the aperature or shutter speed to get a good picture? Usually its too light and blurry because the shutter speed is so slow.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
we really need to see a sample shot with exif data intact. one possibility i can think of though is positive exposure comphensation is set, which would add light when not needed.

> If I set the ISO, then in P mode>the camera should set the aperature and shutter speed right? >I don't have to mess with the aperature or shutter speed to>get a good picture? This is usually correct, but it may depend on other variables. Was it dark at the time? Was part of the scene dark and part of the scene light? As Charlie suggested, an example would help.Program does take care of both aperture and shutter speed, but there are other combinations of aperture and shutter speed that can make or break a photo.

A series of methods to work with MIDI
Methods for dealing with MIDI data (note numbers, note names, frequencies, etc).
Getting it
Install using npm:
npm install midiutils
Then require it before using in your code:
var MIDIUtils = require'midiutils'; MIDIUtilsnoteNameToNoteNumber'A-4';
Just the browser, thanks!
You can also download/clone the source. Then just include the source using a
script tag before using the library:
noteNameToNoteNumber( name )
Returns the MIDI note number corresponding to the note
MIDIUtilsnoteNameToNoteNumber 'A-0' ; // returns 21 MIDIUtilsnoteNameToNoteNumber 'C-4' ; // returns 60
noteNumberToFrequency( number )
Returns the frequency represented by
MIDIUtilsnoteNumberToFrequency 69 ; // returns 440 Hz -- i.e. A-4
noteNumberToName( number )
Returns the MIDI note name corresponding to the note
MIDIUtilsnoteNumberToName 21 ; // returns 'A-0'
frequencyToNoteNumber( frequency )
Returns the note number that corresponds to this frequency.
MIDIUtilsfrequencyToNoteNumber 440.000 ; // returns 69
Getting involved
If you want to get involved with the development of this library or want to contribute, make sure the code you add or change follows the same style as the existing code (whitespace, indenting, etc) and looks consistent with the rest.
Also new features must also be accompanied by both documentation and examples, and new tests demonstrating the usage of the feature, and existing tests must not break.

End of Civil War Sesquicentennial is near
Yesterday I asked a college student what year the Civil War ended. She pursed her lip and offered, "1885?" At least she had the right century. Is this a failure of education? Or is it simply war-between-the-states fatigue. Back in the 1990s there was a resurgence of interest in the Civil War.

mom read to meLawrenceville, GAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent!February 2, 2014mom read to meLawrenceville, GAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5My curiosity about this book was piqued when an older gentleman in our church said it was the BEST book he had ever read on finances. He has an extensive library and has worked in Christian ministries for years.
I have not been disappointed. The book is extensive, covering many topics, including the following: materialism, eternal rewards, ministry finances, borrowing, investing, and inheritance.
Does the author strongly urge tithing regularly, giving generously, living sacrificially? Yes, and he backs everything up with Scripture. Can it be convicting? Yes, but sometimes those of us in the West need to be awakened to additional ways we can serve God's kingdom. Will you agree with him on everything? Probably not, but this book will give you much to prayfully consider.
Additionally, Alcorn shares a bit of his personal journey on the subject of finances, and he seems well qualified to speak on the topic. His humility shines through many times.
I am planning to have all four of our children read this book in order to graduate home school, and I wish I could buy one for everyone I know.

katiebIdahoAge: 35-44Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5June 2, 2010katiebIdahoAge: 35-44Gender: femaleI bought this book for a Christian Finance Homeschool course for my daughter, planning on doing the book as a family. 6 chapters are all we could take! The contradictions and obvious bias Mr. Alcorn has against wealth was hard to take---add to that his obsession with obsessing about money! What do I mean by that?---well, in the first few chapters he establishes that materialism and asceticism can both cause one to be obsessed with money or lack of. But as the chapters go on, he never establishes the middle ground. Even if you are monetarily successful, he still advocates shopping at second hand thrift stores and buying used. Why? This seems obsessive and overly focused on money and saving a few pennies to me. Honestly, I don't think Mr. Alcorn has every worked for commission or in retail---otherwise he wouldn't advocate being totally cheap about purchases and living. I agree with being generous with giving if you are successful, but there is SO much to this book that seems I can't agree with that we will no longer be using this for a Finance curriculum for our daughter---SHE was very offended at much she read.
