Jamie Bodie of JLK Events takes a loving look at one his new favorite fixtures, the CHAUVET DJ Core 3×3!

NEW YORK – Mix together just the right blend of sizzling salsa music, authentic Mexican food and a Happy Hour that doesn't quit –special-price $5.00 Margaritas flow from noon-8 p.m. — and you've got the zesty formula that has made Gonzales y Gonzalez an icon in Greenwich Village since 1989. That's why when the legendary restaurant/ LIVE Salsa saloon wanted to update its look, owners Joey Dee Cirillo and Evan Cohen knew it would be important to achieve the "right mix" visually. The veteran club operators set out to accomplish this goal by finding lighting products that could set the mood for the many transformations GyG goes through during its long day/night hours – a mission they fulfilled with help from CHAUVET DJ.
"Lighting is really important to us, because we're always trying to change the ambience in the room," explained Joey Dee Cirillo. "We've got a lot going on here. Our kitchen is open from noon until 2 a.m., we have live salsa bands four nights a week and, as we like to say, we have the best Happy Hour in New York City hands-down. We wanted people to come into the venue when the band's playing and really get a bang – a WOW factor — from the lighting. But we also wanted to be able to create a more laid back and relaxing environment during other times such as for lunch, brunch and dinner."
Despite this purposeful vision for GyG's illumination, Joey Dee Cirillo admits he "knew nothing about lighting before I started this project." With help from CHAUVET DJ, the Manhattan restaurateur got both an education in lighting and a mix of LED products that keep his establishment popping with a variety of color looks and special effects that can change like a chameleon along with the action at GyG.
"Before I bought any lighting at all, I did a lot of research," recalled Joey Dee Cirillo. "I looked at different companies and I can say that, in my opinion, Chauvet is truly elite. Their customer service cannot be beat. Their people came here, saw my establishment and asked a lot of questions about where we were going with the venue, what we were selling and what kind of entertainment we had. They weren't just interested in selling me an open package of lighting."
The all-CHAUVET DJ rig that Cirillo wound up purchasing includes: 4 x Core 3×3 RGB color wash panels; 4 x COLORband PIX linear RGB color wash strips; and 5 x Intimidator Wash Zoom 350 IRC LED moving heads. All fixtures are controlled by CHAUVET DJ ShowXpress software.
This mix of products works well together to provide the versatility that GyG requires in terms of color and effects options, while being easy to program and design with, said Cirillo, who lavished special praise on the Core 3×3 panels. A pixel mapping effect and powerful wash light combined in one unit, the Core 3×3 contains 9 Tri-Color RGB LEDs and features a unique reflector cup that produces large pixels of light and sweeping chase effects. Installed overhead on the ceiling, the panels truly live up to their name, being at the "core" of the transformative lighting experience at GyG. "If I were to design the perfect fixture for my venue, it would be the Core 3×3," said Cirillo. "They have the perfect design, cover a lot of area and offer easy programming and great versatility." For example, during afternoons the Cores are programmed a clear sky blue "almost like we have a sunroof looking out at the sky. Then we fade them down after Happy Hour during dinner, then crank them up for the club action – they're great for live bands."
Also great for illuminating bands – specifically, washing the wall behind them – are the COLORband PIX strips. Mounted on the rear stage wall, the fixtures themselves are concealed behind a specially constructed 18" overhang so that just the vibrant colored light they project can be seen. "We were looking for a wash that would illuminate the whole wall, but a wash that had movement — and the COLORband nailed it!" exclaimed Cirillo. "You can create great, interesting washes, without making them irritating for the people who are eating dinner. Putting these washes behind the band adds so many dimensions, with their sound activation and chase – especially when you combine them with the Core 3x3s. Just the two fixtures standalone are amazing."
Add in the Intimidator Wash Zoom 350 IRC moving heads, and "it's game over!" said Cirillo. "You have truly dynamite, dynamite lighting." A powerful LED wash with a motorized zoom, strobe and built-in color programs, the Intimidator Wash Zoom 350 IRC adds an eye-popping exclamation point to the visual experience at GyG, with units running 50' across the entire room.
Cirillo says that "for a person new to lighting" he learned a lot from Chauvet during the whole experience. For example, at first he was thinking about adding a fourth fixture to the mix, but "when I took a minute and stepped back, I saw (the three fixtures) were all I needed.
"It's all about looking at the space and finding what's right for your venue," he added. "Sometimes less is more. It's just like when you're cooking and making a sauce — you don't have to put in all the ingredients, sometimes simplicity works best." After all, finding the right mix – whether in food, drink, music, or now in lighting — is what has kept Gonzalez y Gonzalez on top of its market since 1989.
CHAUVET DJ set the 2014 DJ Expo main stage ablaze with another brilliant display of lighting creativity. Here CHAUVET DJ Product Manager Nick Airriess, who designed this dazzling display shares his vision and some of the tools he used to bring it to life.

Martin Ubilluz, owner of Mu2 Productions, included three SlimBANK UV-18 blacklights and six Core 3×3 wash lights on the set of a music video shoot. Read on for his review of the gear and check out some photos from the shoot!
"The concept was to create a very colorful look with glow-in-the-dark effects. To bring our vision to reality, the singer wore blacklight-reactive clothing, while the models wore blacklight-reactive makeup. One of the shots featured a long hallway, so we placed Core 3×3 fixtures against the walls to wash the entire space with multiple colors. For a separate performance shot, we mounted Core 3×3 fixtures to stands and placed them behind the performer as they emitted flashing, random-color sequences as a fog machine diffused the lights and colored the air.
We chose to use both the SlimBANK UV-18 and Core 3×3 fixtures because they are lightweight, very bright and did not consume a lot of power. We wanted lightweight and extremely powerful gear that did not consume a lot of energy — both fixtures met our expectations. "
The CHAUVET DJ team built a monstrous 30-by-40 foot booth for the 2013 DJ Expo…in 24 hours. In case that challenge wasn't enough, the team decided to change things up a bit and incorporate a different type of display, launch new products, sponsor and light the main stage, sponsor the Promo Only party and host two profit-maximizing seminars — whew!
The entire booth was constructed more than 120 sticks and accessories from the TRUSST line and featured more than 300 CHAUVET DJ products. To best showcase the fixtures, the team opted for a "show and tell" application setup. For example, a DJ façade was built using 16 COLORband PiX-M fixtures mounted to three 1-meter sticks of TRUSST; an LFS-75DMX highlighted a five-tiered wedding cake; and a TRUSST Arch Kit illuminated with Wedge Tri wash lights and decorated with greenery showcased effect lights. Also within that 24-hour time frame, the team needed to set up and program the light show on the main stage. To create a bold, flashy backdrop during live DJ sets, they used 11 sticks and accessories from the TRUSST line and more than 100 CHAUVET DJ fixtures including MotionDrape LED, Intimidator Beam LED 350, Intimidator Spot LED 450, Core 3×3, Geyser RGB, Megastrobe FX12 and BEAMbar to name a few. The fixtures within the booth and on the stage were programmed and controlled using ShowXpress.
During the show, attendees witnessed the debut of hot new fixtures perfect for any mobile application. SlimPAR Hex 3 IRC joins the popular SlimPAR series with 6-in-1 (RGBAW+UV) LED technology, while SlimPAR Quad 3 IRC adds three quad-color LEDs — both feature a sit-flat housing and remote control capability. Easily warm triangular truss systems, including the TRUSST Arch and Goal Post Kits, with the triangle-shaped, remote-controllable Wedge Tri. Intimidator Spot LED 350 is now available in a white casing to easily blend into any environment, while the remote-controllable Intimidator Spot 100 IRC allows you to easily incorporate moving heads into any setup. COREbar 4 is an all-in-one mobile wash lighting solution that provides total room coverage using chip-on-board (COB) technology and EZpar 56 joins the battery-powered EZ series with 108 RGB LEDs and a run time of up to 20 hours.
CHAUVET® DJ and TRUSST® presented two seminars filled with tips to maximize profits at any mobile gig. Ménage á TRUSST: 3 Easy Ways to Playful Profit, presented by resident DJ and CHAUVET DJ assistant manager Geoff Short, demonstrated the ease, creativity and versatility of the TRUSST® trussing system and provided tips to upsell the setup to your clients. The Ultimate Upsell: Tips to Earning the Most Profit at Any Gig, presented by Jeremy Brech, taught attendees new ways to upsell lighting packages, gobos and atmospheric effects.
Super Bocinas, located in Guatemala City, recently held a CHAUVET® DJ open house for mobile entertainers, lighting technicians and event planners. Jorge Nichols, owner of Super Bocinas, and his team coordinated the event which included demonstrations of the latest CHAUVET® DJ gear and TRUSST® trussing systems as well as raffles for t-shirts and Mini Strobe™ LED fixtures. Nimbus™ Jr., Freedom™ Par Quad-5, Freedom™ Strip Mini Quad-5, Core™ 3×1 and Core™ 3×3, TRUSST® Arch Kit and TRUSST® Goal Post Kit proved to crowd favorites. Check out some photos from the event!
Pulse Cooler Fete 2013 took over Guyana National Stadium with live performances on a CHAUVET®-DJ illuminated stage. Hosted by Pulse Entertainment, the concert featured performances from artists including KES the Band, KI & JMC 3veni, Sally Sagram, Shal Marshall and 5Star Akil. An elaborate truss design suspended above the stage featured Core™ 3×3 fixtures and Intimidator™ Beam LED 350 moving heads. To enhance the performances, 16 Core™ 3×3 washed the stage and created an eye-candy effect, while 20 Intimidator™ Beam LED 350 moving heads added tight, colorful beams and movement.
CHAUVET® DJ traveled to Frankfurt, Germany and displayed the latest LED gear while exhibiting at the Prolight+Sound 2013 international trade show. The TRUSST®-built stand featured a magnificent light show flooded with colors and movement. Intimidator™ Beam LED 350 and Intimidator™ Spot Duo projected crisp, powerful beams, while Circus™ 2.0 IRC and Hive™ created colorful, fast-moving effects. A DJ booth within the stand included two Geyser™ RGB fixtures for pyrotechnic-like effects and a facade built using Core™ 3×3 pixel-mapping wash lights to create an eye-catching focal point. Last but not least, the highly portable Freedom™ Quad-5 series and ultra-bright BEAMbar™ captivated attendees. Check out some photos from the show.
With little time to recuperate from The NAMM Show 2013, the Chauvet team packed their bags and traveled to Las Vegas for MBLV17. To best showcase the latest in LED technology and portable gear, the team built a 20-by-30 foot booth using nearly 150 pieces of TRUSST®. Attendees got hands on with newly released gear including new 100% wireless Freedom™ wash lights, the battery-operated EZ™ series, Core™ 3×3 pixel mapping fixtures and the powerful LFS-75DMX framing spot. Additionally, Jeff Greene, owner of 84 West Studios, and the CHAUVET® DJ team delivered a seminar filled with tips for mobile entertainers to earn the most profit at every gig by upselling lighting and special effects. Check out a few photos we snapped at the show and click here to view the complete album.

Comments about A and E Cage Co. Ocala Flight Cage:
The cage is large, which is what I wanted, but the doors are very small and do not stay in an open position to allow for cleaning, etc. This makes it hard to clean as you can only put one arm in the cage at a time (the other hand has to hold the door open). Reach is limited because of the size of doors and it is very difficult to reach the back of the cage. I spent nearly 400.00 dollars on this cage and I'm likely going to have to cut my own door in the front of it! Save yourself the trouble, and buy a cage with bigger doors.

This is very funny. I'm listening to many of your submissions and I like very much the humor you put in them. I'm even more impressed by the general voice quality and the rich repertoire of intonations.
By the way, do you have a "serious" voice acting demo ? I would be very interested.
Thanks! I make them myself lol ;P
But as time comes, I will prepare a more commercially accepting demo. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love this voice demo
Someone should make an animation with this. Great voice acting and the ending was hilarious. Did you write a script first or did you just make this on the spot? because it sounded like you ran out of ideas at the end. lol
Again, great job! If no one is going to make an animation, then I will :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
HAHAHHAHHA good work dude :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Laughed so much at this xD
Very good voice acting mate! Believable, funny and passionate.
Nice job! 5/5 10/10

The Haier Pulse's promising showing on the court in the first six rounds of the ANZ Championship is being backed by a superb performance off the court, with attendances and memberships at an all-time high. Three of the first four home games have sold out and the average home crowd has risen from 1,445 in 2011 to an impressive 2,341 so far in 2012. The sold-out signs for the next home fixture against the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic went up a full two weeks prior to the game, whilst memberships have risen rapidly from 144 last year to the current figure of 320.
Haier Pulse Acting Chairman, Ian Collier, is delighted with the strength of support for the team and hopes this will help to bring some financial stability for the future. "There is no doubt that interest and support of the Haier Pulse has increased which is fantastic and very pleasing to see," he explained. "This year we have been very conscious of involving the entire region that the Haier Pulse represents and the support for the games in Napier and Palmerston North shows that it is working. As many people know, it is very challenging to operate a sports franchise profitably, particularly on a sustainable basis. Sell-out crowds will definitely help us deliver an improved financial result this season."
Collier firmly believes that the size and enthusiasm of the home crowds have been a major factor in the team's performances so far this year. "There is nothing like the atmosphere you get in a full stadium and it is great to see how the team have responded to the fantastic support they are getting. Potential commercial partners will be pleased with what they are seeing and I am sure that most people will agree that the team are delivering on their promise to be stronger, better and faster."
Head Coach Robyn Broughton agrees that the support is crucial to the team's success. "Vocal home crowds lift the team. In my experience, it's a huge lift and I've seen how crowds can win titles. It's exciting and the girls thrive on it as they're made to feel like stars out there. When Jols got that interception against the Mystics, the crowd just erupted. It's wonderful to think that there's so many people behind them."
Broughton has also ensured that the players have kept their feet firmly on the ground, with the team making a large number of public appearances throughout the Haier Pulse's region. "We have spent a good deal of time meeting the fans and coaching young players this year," she said "All of that makes us accessible and I think the girls have done a good job in that respect. From my point of view, I always make myself available and the girls should always make sure that they are available too, as best they can without it becoming overwhelming. I do think it's nice that there are familiar faces who come down after the games and say that they really enjoyed the fact that the girls are trying so hard. It's a boost for me as a coach as well – coaches need a bit of reinforcement, just as much as the players do."
As Collier is keen to point out, it's very much a two-way street, with the fans desperate to show their support and the players keen to give them the recognition they deserve for that. "There is something very special about our fans as they have been and continue to be incredibly loyal," he said. "We are totally committed to making the team accessible to their fans, whilst respecting the need to allow the players to concentrate on their training and performance on court. It's important to get that balance right. The players and coaches have been fantastic to work with and the feedback from fans and our sponsors has been very positive."
The next assignment for the Haier Pulse is a home game against the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic on Monday 14th May at Te Rauparaha Arena, Porirua, and this fixture is a complete sell-out.
Supporters looking to buy tickets for the Haier Pulse v Adelaide Thunderbirds game on 21st May at the TSB Arena, Wellington, are urged to book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available from www.ticketek.co.nz or by ringing 0800 TICKETEK (0800 842538).

Inside the World's Largest LAN Party 199
from the we're-gonna-need-a-bigger-bag-of-doritos dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
where can i get that kind of connection speed, and how much does it cost
..duplicate name detected, IP address conflict. How many of them forget to switch from static IP addressing to dynamic?
that really is it
Oh, then I guess I have indeed been to a LAN party, but just didn't know that's what it was called. I was Resident Faculty at a dorm for a while when I first started teaching. It was before I was married so it was just me and the dog. This was at a small Catholic liberal arts college in the bluffs of Minnesota along the Mississippi, so in the winter there was nothing at all to do outside at night. We'd drag out our computers and play Starcraft or Total Annihilation for hours and hours. Drink Leinenkugel that we bought on the Wisconsin side and eat pizza if we could get a pizzeria from the small nearby town to deliver in the heavy snow.
When we got wasted enough, we'd take cafeteria trays and use them to slide down the side of a rather steep bluff. Then we'd take someone to the hospital. In the wee hours we'd stand on the roof and look at the Northern Lights.
The son of the mayor of a medium-sized city lived in the dorm and always had great weed. The dorm was in a building that was once a monastery. One wing was said to be haunted and a lot of weird stuff did happen over there, but predictably, it usually happened when we were buzzed. I know I was supposed to look out for these kids but really it was all much harmless fun and nobody got hurt. I was a newly-minted academic, just a few years older than my charges. I did occasionally give a little advice and a sympathetic ear, but mostly just made sure nobody went overboard.
OK, so now I know. Those were "LAN parties".
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.

PALOMINO VALLEY, Nev. (AP) — The top Democrat on a congressional panel on public lands is traveling to Nevada to get a firsthand look at a government corral used to temporarily house 1,500 mustangs recently gathered from federal rangeland.
Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, an outspoken critic of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's wild horse policies, planned a tour with horse protection advocates Wednesday afternoon at BLM's temporary holding facility in Palomino Valley north of Reno, where critics say animals have been treated inhumanely.
Grijalva said before the tour it makes no sense to spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to round up horses from their native range when the government has no room to store them. He said he's especially worried about recent research suggesting BLM roundups have the unintended consequence of actually increasing wild horse populations.
"I've been on this for six or seven years," said Grijalva, the ranking member of the House Natural Resources subcommittee on public lands and environmental regulation who was elected in 2002 in the 3rd District representing Tucson.
"With the additional independent reports that have come in regarding wild horse containment and roundups, this is an opportunity to turn the page," he told The Associated Press.
A 14-member panel assembled by the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council at the request of the BLM recommended in June that the agency move away from roundups and put more emphasis on the use of contraceptives and other methods of fertility control to manage horse populations. The committee concluded BLM's removal of nearly 100,000 horses from the Western range over the past decade is probably having the opposite effect of its intention to ease ecological damage and cull the herds.
By stepping in prematurely when food and water supplies remain adequate, and with most natural predators long gone, the land management agency is producing artificial conditions that ultimately serve to perpetuate population growth, the committee said in a 451-page report.
The number of animals at holding facilities surpassed the estimated number on the range in 10 Western states earlier this year for the first time since President Richard Nixon signed the Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. BLM estimates there are about 40,000 wild horses and burro on the range, about half of those in Nevada.
The scientific panel said the agency averaged removing 8,000 horses from the range annually from 2002 to 2011. Last year, it spent 60 percent of its wild horse budget on holding facilities alone, more than $40 million.
Grijalva said those findings have changed both the political and fiscal landscape of the debate over the fate of the federally protected horses.
"For a long time they've (BLM officials) said they are doing the best they can and these are the best practices they have, and now I think those practices come into sharp question," Grijalva said.
"I think it's all part of a demand that BLM look at new and different approaches that are more humane," he said.
BLM spokeswoman Erica Szlosek said the agency welcomes the congressman's visit. She said they continue to review the academy panel's recommendations.
"The NAS report did not call for an end to the gathers. It looked at different option on the range, population control, growth depression, those kinds of measures," she said Wednesday. "We've been reading the report and we are parsing out chapter by chapter different parts to different specialists at BLM to look at the range of possibilities."

ON the occasion of the inauguration of the Gamma Unit Centre, I extend my very best wishes for the introduction of an outstanding neuro-surgical technique to the benefit of Hong Kong's community.
I am proud to say that the development of the Gamma knife for non-invasive brain surgery represents a landmark in Swedish medical research. It certainly is gratifying to see again that this advanced technology, based on the breathtaking scientific achievements of the the late professor Lars Leksell, of Sweden, responds to the highest universal demands.
Though a layman, I am convinced that the Gamma Unit Centre is extremely well-prepared to provide the community with a mode of medical treatment which is unequalled of its kind.

Kirsten L.Clarksville, TNHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWorks Well With Matching ProductFirst off, this shampoo smells wonderful!
It's not overly fruity, floral or clean smelling.
It's very somber and nice.
I used this product along side the the conditioner and flat iron spray in the Brazilian Organix products and they worked very well.
Alone, I'm not sure how it would stand since I never mix and match, but unlike most shampoos it didn't make my hair feel stripped, brittle, or thin after rinsing it out.
I used it for roughly a month, and I didn't see any difference in my color as far as being color-friendly.
Overall, I say with the price and the quality, it's for sure worth a try.

MoniqueHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairMade My Hair Feel Like Hay!!!!I bought the shampoo, conditioner and flat iron spray. I have very damaged hair from years of heat styling and colouring but usually I use regular drugstore brand shampoo and my hair still manages to feel fairly soft and tangle free. This product made my hair feel super dry and coarse even after straightening it my hair was constantly getting tangled and didn't even stay straight for very long before beginning to curl. It was terrible I would not recommend this product to anyone with damaged or already very dry hair! Maybe it would be better suited for someone with healthier hair? Smells yummy though!5 out of 8 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

wireless sensors and alarm panels - which play well together?
I am about to buy a wireless security system (e.g. the GE Simon), to be monitored by NextAlarm or alarm.com.
I wonder if any of the wireless sensors I already have (left by the prev. owner) can be reused in a new system I buy, like 5 wireless 58xx Ademco components (4 doors and 1 PIR). There is also a Homesight wireless door/window senso, HMSM4140. Can anyone tell me how I figure out what might be compatible with what.
Isn't there one or a few standard protocols that is being used? I have tried to look up transmission protocols but basically been unsuccessful - perhaps I look in the wrong places? There must be a simple way of checking the specs to determine if the sensor signal can be picked up by the control panel - without having to first buy the panel and do trial and error ;-)
[I apologize if this message is posted twice; when I first submitted it "didn't stick"
If you want to reuse your existing wireless sensors, make sure your alarm panel is made by the same manufacturer. If you have existng Ademco sensors, you must use an Ademco panel with a wireless receiver such as the Ademco 5881. Nextalarm will support any number of different panels that use the 'contact ID' signalling standard. Don't feel you must use one of the panels that Nextalarm sells. I use a Ademco Vista 20P and have it monitored by Nextalarm. Those wireless sensors aren't cheap. You will probably want to try to reuse them.

ORLANDO, FL, JUNE 17, 2009 â Wireworks Corporation (InfoComm Booth 5221) celebrates 35 years as a pioneer in and leading innovator of professional audio/video cabling products and custom panels. Beginning on Broadway and expanding over the past three decades into the broadcast and other markets, Wireworks Corporation designs and manufactures professional cabling products that are now prevalent in theatre, auditorium/arena, education, corporate, government and houses of worship.
Company founders, Gerald Krulewicz and Larry Williams first recognized the need for professional multi-channel audio products while working in both lighting and sound on Broadway in the early 1970âs. At that time, individual microphone cables were manually bundled together for multiple-microphone cable runs from the stage to front of house. Based on this first-hand experience, Krulewicz and Williams founded Wireworks in 1974 with a mission to provide the highest, most professional quality audio cables to the entertainment field and introduced the first full line of commercially available multi-channel audio cables. Throughout the 1970âs Wireworks continued to create innovative products, including large-scale multi-pin disconnects, the first colored microphone cables as well as a full line of audio and video cable assemblies. In addition, the company established the definitive method of audio cabling which quickly became the Broadway standard that is still specified on new shows today.
Throughout the 1980âs Wireworks expanded its product lines to include the world's first manufactured combined audio/video multi-cables for broadcast use. The company also introduced its do-it-yourself configuration tool for Wireworks universally adaptable, modular multichannel system, the Microphone Multicable Components Group (MMCG). The Crystal Cathedral, Walt Disneyâs Epcot Center, the Reagan/Gorbachev Geneva Summit, Liberty Weekend, the Pan American Games, the Indy 500, the Calgary Winter Olympics and the still running Phantom of the Opera on Broadway are just a few projects that relied on Wireworks during this decade.
Throughout the nineties, Wireworks continued to set standards with its innovation and its dedication to providing high-quality products with the personalized service it is still known for today. The companyâs newest audio/video multi-pin system, AV2000, is the only multi-pin connector system that can accommodate audio, video, data, and control signals in a single, easy-to-use hybrid connector. During this time, Wireworks received both LDI and EDDY Awards for its cabling products, many of which were incorporated into distinctive installations at the White House, Euro Disney, the Normandy Beach reenactment, The Tonight Show and many others.
Along with the new millennium came an entire new line of products from Wireworks â WireLUX, the most flexible line of premium audio cables including MusiLUX, InstaLUX, StudiLUX, UltraLUX and SpeakerLUX. Wireworks took home another LDI product award for this new line as well as a Readerâs Choice Award from a leading trade publication for the companyâs cable testers. The Salt Lake Olympics, the X Games, Metropolitan Opera and XM Radioâs studio headquarters in Washington, D.C. were all enhanced by products from Wireworks.
To date, Wireworks has been involved in thousands of installations worldwide. Within the U.S., the average American either hears or sees media content that is transmitted by a Wireworks manufactured cable every day.
âWhen talking about cabling, three specific factors must be considered,â? says Krulewicz. âIt has to do the job it is intended to do, it has to be durable and it has to be easy to use. The last thing a customer should have to worry about is the cabling system. Wireworks is more than happy to provide that assurance. We have made a commitment to continue to develop new, cutting-edge ways of making the job easier and faster for our users. Innovation, reliability and service have been hallmarks of Wireworks Corporation since the very beginning.â?
About Wireworks
Now celebrating its 35th Anniversary, Wireworks Corporation is the pioneer in professional audio/video cabling products.

The company also introduced the first colored microphone cables, the first mixed audio/video multi-pin interconnect system, and the first and only multi-pin connector system that can accommodate audio, video, data, and control signals in a simple, easy-to-use connector.
From Broadway to broadcast, theatres, auditoriums, arenas, corporate boardrooms, operating rooms and houses of worship installations, Wireworks remains the leader in audio/video cabling systems, microphone splitters and interface panels, continuing to set standards through its inventive products.

Larkin deserving Hall of Famer
Patrick Ebert
Monday, January 09, 2012
Congratulations are in order to Barry Larkin on the announcement of him being elected to enter Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, receiving 86.4% of the votes, well surpassing the necessary 75%. The induction ceremony will take place on Sunday, July 22 in Cooperstown, New York.
The Cincinnati, Ohio native played 19 seasons in the big-leagues, all for his hometown Reds. He was a career .295/.371/.444 hitter, was selected to participate in 12 all-star games and won three Gold Gloves and nine Silver Slugger awards. Larkin was the catalyst for the World Champion Reds in 1990 when they swept the heavily favored Oakland Athletics in the World Series. He won the National League MVP award in 1995, and the following season became the first shortstop to accomplish a 30-30 season.
During the early part of his career, many contended that Larkin would have started a few more all-star games and would have won a handful more Gold Glove awards had Ozzie Smith's career not overlapped his own. The Wizard of Oz won the Gold Glove every year from 1986 through 1992, and was also named to the all-star game every year during the same time.
An excellent all-around athlete, Larkin was drafted out of the second round by the Reds in the 1982 draft. He decided to play for Bo Schembechler at Michigan as an All-American defensive back. Larkin never played a football game for the Wolverines, instead enjoying immediate success in baseball after red-shirting from the gridiron his freshman year.
That year (1983) he was named the Big Ten tournament MVP, and carried Michigan to two consecutive trips to the College World Series in 1983 and 1984 (no other Big Ten team has been to Omaha since). He was named the Big Ten Player of the Year and an All-American in both 1984 and 1985. His success in college led to him being inducted in the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.
While he didn't miss a game during his college career, pretty much the only critique on his big-league career was his inability to stay consistently healthy. After being taken with the fourth overall pick in arguably the most memorable first round in the history of the draft (B.J. Surhoff, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, and Will Clark are the among the most notable that were drafted in the first round that year), Larkin made his MLB debut the following season, but only played more than 140 games in seven of his 19 years. Four of those years he played less than 100.
Larkin was a very capable defender at a premium position, posting a career fielding percentage of .975 with excellent range and a strong arm, making both the highlight reel and routine plays look easy.
I do have to pose the question to the voters, what is the difference between a first, second, third (etc.) ballot Hall of Famer? In my mind, either a player belongs in the Hall of Fame or he doesn't. There shouldn't be any kind of perceived value by making a player wait a year or more to get in. The only instance in which the timing of a player's induction should be affected is if there are two to three (or more) other players that are more obvious selections to be enshrined.
Because of that, Larkin should have already been in, two years ago when he first became eligible to be voted in. His numbers alone speak to the type of player he was, and when you factor in his leadership skills and the professional manner in which he carried himself both on and off the field, he not only was one of the best shortstops to play the game, but one of the best overall players.
Right-handed pitcher Jack Morris missed the cut receiving over 66% of the votes, while Jeff Bagwell, Lee Smith, Tim Raines, Edgar Martinez, Larry Walker, Mark McGwire, Fred McGriff, Alan Trammell, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy and Rafael Palmeiro also did not receive the required 75% of the votes for enshrinement. It's safe to say that McGwire and Palmeiro will have difficulty being enshrined given their involvement with PEDs, and the lack of support for Jeff Bagwell may suggest suspicion of his own involvement.
Morris, Smith and Raines would all receive a vote from me if I had one, especially with recent elections of Jim Rice, Andrew Dawson and Bert Blyleven. All three of them would be for the total body of work, even if Morris fell short of the magical 300-win mark. The same could be said for Raines and the 3,000 hit milestone, who was still productive although not nearly as dynamic later in his career as he was from the early 80s through the early 90s.
While the closer role has changed dramatically in the last 20-30 years, Lee Smith served somewhat of a bridge between the three-inning stoppers like Rollie Fingers and Bruce Sutter and the one-inning closers like himself and Dennis Eckersley. When he retired after the 1997 season Lee was the all-time leader in saves with 478, recently surpassed by both Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. Both pitchers are considered locks to make the Hall, and no other active player is even close to approaching that mark. Although it didn't help that Lee played with eight different teams during his 18 year career.
I would probably give Alan Trammell a vote as well. While he's not as obvious of a case as Larkin, the fact that he played shortstop for 20 years while hitting .285/.352/.415 is almost reason enough.
While not eligible to be voted in for the writers, Ted Simmons needs to be placed by the veteran's committee. You don't have to look very hard or for very long to find a solid case for his Hall of Fame inclusion.

F&S Environmental, LLC, of East Brewton, Alabama, protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range, and the subsequent award of a contract to JESCO Company, of Gulf Shores, Alabama, by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSFE04-11-R-2045 to provide maintenance and other support services for FEMA's temporary housing units (THU) being used by persons displaced by severe weather in Alabama on April 28, 2011. F&S argues that its proposal was unreasonably evaluated, was improperly excluded from the competitive range, and that the contract award was improperly made to an ineligible firm.
We deny the protest.
