At the tail end of Tuesday night's Southampton Town Board meeting, Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said an old saying came to mind: "If you beat a horse to death, get off."
The phrase was uttered after nearly an hour of ongoing conversations among council members, Southampton Town Trustees and several members of the community who have all expressed strong opinions on both sides of the aisle during a series of public hearings that have taken place over the last two months regarding parking restrictions on Noyac Bay Avenue in Noyac.
Though parking restrictions were imposed two years ago at the east end of the street — where the road meets a small channel connecting the Peconic Bay to a private marina — several Noyac citizens complained earlier this year that no-parking regulations limited public beach access. After a compromise sponsored by councilman Jim Malone was reached last month to allow for 100 feet of unrestricted parking on the south side of the street, community members and board members — led most adamantly by the supervisor and councilwoman Bridget Fleming — have appealed to lift the no-parking regulations on both sides of Noyac Bay Avenue.
At the last town board meeting July 12, Throne-Holst formally closed the public hearing on the grounds that the board had received a plethora of information on the matter and — in light of the fact that councilwoman Nancy Graboski was absent — she urged the board to come to a vote on the matter at this week's meeting. However, as councilman Jim Malone was absent this week, the town board tabled the resolution until its next meeting on Tuesday, August 8, when all board members are expected to be in attendance.
For Throne-Holst and Fleming, the issue is clear. "I think the long and the short of it is: parking is limited," Throne-Holst told the board. "It limits the ease of access [to the waterfront] if you are elderly or disabled or have kids and would like to enjoy the facilitated access onto our [town-owned] waterfront."
Though much larger portions of the sandy shore above the high-water mark are privately owned by the Northampton Colony Club House to the north and the Northampton Colony Yacht Club to the south, Southampton Town does own about a 50-foot stretch of sand in between.
However, to councilman Chris Nuzzi, the issue has been misconstrued.
"What we're talking about is parking," he said. "There are parking limitations, but there are no restrictions to access to the beach." He continued to explain that there are other areas in Southampton Town where beach parking is limited on roads that end on the water, alluding to comments made earlier in the meeting by Director of Transportation Tom Neely and Trustee Ed Warner.
"There's limited parking in many of these areas," he continued. "It's gone on for years. It doesn't restrict beach access, it just respects the areas and usually the residential character of the community and the surrounding area."
Trustee Ed Warner explained to the town board that two roads under trustee jurisdiction, Inlet Road West and Beach Dale Road, were designated seasonal restricted parking areas. Similar to initial complaints posed by Northampton Colony residents with regard to Noyac Bay Avenue, Warner said the parking restrictions were enforced because "people were going there at night and having parties." The seasonal restrictions now forbid cars from parking in the areas past 9 p.m.
"It was a good thing on those two road ends because I felt those roads were being abused at night," he continued. "If you limit [parking on Noyac Bay Avenue], it should be a seasonal thing." Warner added that limiting the time-frame in which cars would be allowed to park should suffice as the public area in question "is a very small beach… I don't foresee that it's hundreds of people who are going to go down there."
Members of Northampton Colony urged the board to keep the limited restriction in place. Elena Loreto said "as far as beach access, we're in favor of it." She added that the members of her community in no way wish to limit access to public waters. However, she added, "We're asking for things to maintain how they are now. There is access; but, [with some parking restrictions] you are enabling us to make sure that our area is secure." She asked that the board keep the 100-foot compromise in place for a few months to "see how this works out" before taking more action to change the current parking situation.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, those for lifting the parking ban entirely —including Citizens for Access Rights (CfAR) Vice President David Lys — reiterated their point that keeping things as is would set a precedent for the community at-large.
"We feel that any type of limitations on beach road ends make that beach a private beach," he said. "This is not just something that's happening in your town, it's happening in Wading River and East Hampton all around. We think it is something that might [be] a precedent."
Southampton Town Board members also received an email correspondence the night of the meeting from Gene Deporis, who wrote on behalf of a group of concerned community members. (He said they were told by the deputy supervisor that the meeting would not be open for public input, which is the only reason the group did not attend the meeting to speak on the record.)
"We have had some four months of hearings regarding a parking ban and lack of beach access, both of which should not have taken place in the first place," Deporis wrote. "[It's] an issue that should have been solved in a quick meeting, based upon community needs, relevant laws, and good common sense. It's now late July and an entire season is going by without this having been resolved. What an embarrassment for our town."
"It boils down to the rights of town residents vs. the wants of a very strident few," he continued. "This is the same thing it boiled down to in the very beginning."
Councilwoman Bridget Fleming pointed out that while Transportation Director Tom Neely said there are about 21 roads in the Town of Southampton that end at the ocean or the bay and do currently require parking permits, only three of these roads are on the bayside.
"I have to say, it's the first time I have had a chance to vote on whether to deny beach access," Fleming said, adding that she strongly supports lifting the parking ban altogether. She added that she also feels the current situation on Noyac Bay Avenue restricts public access rights, and upends what should be the status quo: "which is that there's free access to public lands."

PC sales jump in Vista's debut week

Vista's actual launch? Think whisper, not bangJanuary 30, 2007
The dawn of VistaJanuary 26, 2007
Chart: Six versions of Windows VistaFebruary 27, 2006
PC unit sales soared 173 percent at U.S. retail stores during the week ended February 3, compared with PC sales in the previous week, according to the report. Current Analysis also noted that during Vista's debut week PC unit sales rose 67 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Computers loaded with Microsoft's new operating system, Vista, made their debut during a midnight celebration January 29, but initial reports found interest paled in comparison with launches of previous versions of Windows.
The report also found that demand was higher for PCs with the more expensive version of the new operating system.
Notebooks loaded with Vista Home Premium accounted for 76 percent of all notebook PC sales, while Vista Home Basic represented only 16 percent, according to the report. It also noted that Vista Home Premium notebooks carried an average sales price of $863, while the Home Basic notebook version had an average sales price of $616.
"Microsoft is pleased with the initial response to Windows Vista," a company representative said in an e-mail.
Analysts note that Vista Home Premium appeals to experienced, middle-of-the-road users--a group that tends to also favor notebooks.
"Vista Basic is for the entry-level computer user, and you don't get a lot of the visual experiences that you do with Vista Premium," said Samir Bhavnani, research director for Current Analysis.
Vista Home Basic does not offer high-end media features or fancy graphics as the more expensive premium version does.
Desktops also experienced a bigger demand for premium versions of Vista, but the gap was not as wide. Vista Home Premium desktops accounted for 59 percent of all desktop PC sales, while Home Basic desktops garnered 33 percent.
The report is based on unit sales from five major retailers: Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Staples and Radio Shack.
"I felt the first-week numbers were pretty impressive, given this was during Super Bowl week and all the retailers were focused on selling big-screen TVs," Bhavnani said. "This week, a lot of the retailers are focused on Vista."
He also noted that Vista's sales performance six months from now will be far more telling of its success than the first week of sales.

With all these guinea pigs on-board they may well have the official release of Vista (code named Stable Product 1 or SP1) ready within the previously mentioned time frame - the latter half of 2007.
Not only that but the upgrade price of the Vista Home Beta to a version with the capabilities of WinXP Home Edition is a mere $140.
Personally I'm not so keen on beta testing this product yet, but I may change my mind when some of the mainstream hardware companies like Intel, nVidia and Creative start releasing drivers that work.
From what I've heard they still have some work to do in various areas such as Activation as well as some compatibility issues with software from a curiously familiar sounding company called Microsoft.

So far, Vista has been running very well on my system (Dell laptop). I too have heard about incompatibility issues, but have not experienced any except Microsoft's own Visual Studio 2005 - which still ran anyways (there was a pop-up warning). There is a free update available to bring VS 2005 up-to-date wrt Vista.
All three of the companies you mentioned were slow to get drivers out, but they do have final drivers available now (not beta). Of course, I'm sure they will improve them as they compete in benchmarks :)
Haven't had any trouble with activation whatsoever, and the licensing terms are pretty reasonable - you can move the OS to any other computer as many times as you want. Not bad coming from MS.
Both Open Office and Office 2007 work great - although Office 2007 is vastly more polished and feature laden than OO... although let's face it, you can't beat OO's price - and it does most simple tasks just fine.
I can't say enough good things about Vista - I guess I am just really gung ho on it so far.
Funny thing though - looks like the only program MS didn't improve was notepad. That app. is a classic now lol

Also, PC makers' versions of windows tend to be activation free and can be installed on any one of their computers. In other words, if you get a CD/DVD with the PC makers version of winows, you can take that disk and load the OS onto any other computer manufactured by that same PC maker (only legal if it came with it originally of course), although I don't know if this is still true with Vista.

Dec. 28, 2007
Complete Release in PDF Format
For Openers
Lamar continues on its brief two-game homestand
after a break for the Christmas holiday when the
Cardinals play host to Lyon College in the final game
of the 2007 calendar year.
Lamar-Lyon Series History
This is the first-ever meeting between the Cardinals
and Lyon. The last time Lamar met a team from
Arkansas was two years ago when Billy Tubbs' final
team won at Arkansas State, 91-81, on Dec. 14, 2005.
Texas Tech Game Time Changed
Due to Texas Tech's Gator Bowl football game on
Jan. 1, Lamar's game against the Red Raiders in
Lubbock has been moved to 6 p.m. CST.
The Season of Giving... and Keeping
Over the last four games, Lamar has averaged 17.8
assists per game, compared to just over 12 apg during
the first six games. In fact, the Cardinals have
assisted on 57.3 percent of their field goals over the
stretch. Lamar has also done a better job of taking
care of the basketball, turning it over 14.8 times -
well below the 17.7 early on in the season. In fact,
LU's turnover margin has gone from +1.5 to +7.3
and sits at +3.8 on the season, which leads the
Southland Conference.
Lamar With Three In SLC Top 15 In 3-Pointers
By virtue of his 3-for-5 performance from behind the
arc last week against Rice, Brandon McThay moved
into first place in the Southland Conference in threepoint
field goal accuracy, checking in at 47.6 percent
on 10-of-21 this season. Additionally, Kenny
Dawkins ranks fourth at 43.1% and Currye Todd is
15th at 36.7%. Lamar is the only school with three
players in the top 15. As a team, the Cardinals rank
fifth at 33.2% and third in 3-pointers made per game
at 7.3.
More On The 3-Ball
Since Steve Roccaforte took over at Lamar last season,
the Cardinals have made 339 total 3-pointers for
an average of 8.1 per game. In the 42 games, LU has
made at least 10 treys 14 times, including three this
year. The season-high 16 made against Louisiana
College on Dec. 8 are tied for the third-most in
school history and the second-most in the SLC this
season. Only once in the past two seasons have the
Cardinals failed to make less than four in a game (vs.
NSU in the SLC Tournament).
Sanders Nine Points Shy Of 500 At Lamar
Senior F Lamar Sanders moved closer to 500 career
points as a Cardinal with his nine-point, 11-rebound
game against Rice last week. He enters the Lyon
game with 491 points in 42 games in a Cardinal jersey.
The preseason All-SLC pick from Hickory Flat,
Miss., has averaged 11.7 points in 42 games - all
starts. Sanders was named Second Team All-SLC a
year ago after scoring 391 points for a 12.2 ppg average
and pulling down a leagubest 9.8 rpg.
Barrow Sitting On 99 Career 3-Pointers Made
Senior G Matthew Barrow has made 99 career threepoint
field goals in his 2-plus seasons with the
Cardinals. He connected on 35 treys as a sophomore
and 50 a year ago. He is currently 27 away from
cracking the Lamar career top-10 list.
Dawkins Third In SLC In Minutes Played; 11 Cardinals With 10-plus MPG
Junior G Kenny Dawkins enters the Lyon game
ranked third in the SLC in minutes played at 31.7.
While that is nearly six minutes more per outing than
Lamar Sanders' 26 mpg, all 11 regular players for
the Cardinals are averaging at least 10 mpg. Over the
last four games, head coach Steve Roccaforte has
implemented the same starting lineup and has nine
players averaging 10-plus mpg, with no players on
the floor for more than 29 mpg.
Scouting Lyon
Lyon College, which is located in Batesville, Ark.,
comes to Beaumont with a 5-4 record after dropping
its most recent game, 76-70, at Central Baptist
College. Prior to that Dec. 14 contest, the Scots had
won three consecutive. Lyon is 2-3 on the road this
year. As a team, Lyon is averaging 70 points per
game and shooting 44 percent from the floor. The
Scots have pulled down 37.7 rebounds per game
while limiting their opponents to just 30 rpg. Senior
forward Levi Taylor leads the team in scoring (18.2
ppg), rebounding (6.2 rpg), blocks (13 total) and
steals (9 total). He is also a threat from the outside as
his 17 3-pointers made leads the team. Senior
Jonathan Donaldson is the only other Scot to post
double figures in scoring (16.2) and averages 3.6
assists and 5.0 rebounds per game.
Last Game - Lamar 66, Rice 49
Brandon McThay made three first-half 3 pointers
and Lamar University closed the opening 20 minutes
on a 21-7 run as the Cardinals defeated Rice, 66-49,
at the Montagne Center last Saturday night.
All of McThay's game-high 13 points came in
the opening half as he was perfect from the floor in
converting a pair of layups to go with his triples. He
has now scored 48 points in the last four games as
the Cardinals have gone 3-1. Lawrence Nwevo finished
with 11 points and Matthew Barrow came off
the bench to add 10 points and six rebounds.
Lamar (4-6) shot 52 percent in the first half
thanks in large part to a 6-of-11 effort from 3-point
range. The Cardinals also executed their full court
pressure to the tone of 20 points from 14 Owl
With the scored tied at 2-2 two minutes into the
game, Lamar opened up a 20-6 lead as six different
players scored during the 18-4 stretch that included
three 3-pointers and a pair of fastbreak layups.
Lamar saw its lead move to 25 points following
three consecutive Nwevo buckets in the lane, with
the last coming at 16:23. Rice then began chipping
away and cut the margin to 55-48 with 5:56 remaining
but couldn't get any closer. Lamar closed the
game on an 11-1 run with its last seven points coming
from the charity stripe. The Cardinals shot just
61 percent from the free-throw line but Rice wasn't
any better, converting just 59 percent of its 22
Lamar snapped a six-game losing streak to Rice
and improved to 3-0 against the Owls in games
played on Dec. 22. Rice leads the series 16-7.
The Cardinals out-rebounded the Owls 40-30,
including an 18-8 edge on the offensive glass. Lamar
also got 23 points from its bench.
Rice Leftovers
Lamar players drew four charges - Matthew
Barrow, Justin Nabors, Lawrence Nwevo and Lamar
Lamar assisted on 14 of its 23 field goals for 60.9
pct. mark - its second-highest this season behind the
62.5 mark against Wyoming
Lamar forced three 10-second violations and forced
seven turnovers as a direct result of its full-court
press. The Cardinals got 11 points off those opportunities.

Allegany High Ninth-graders Complete Service Learning Project
|Report from
Francis Zumbrun
Greenridge State Forest Manager
Allegany High School ninth-grade government students got to apply the knowledge they learned about the environment in real-life situations.
The students in Tammy Twigg's class planted and mulched trees around the Green Ridge State Forest headquarters office.
The project was funded by a mini-grant through the Maryland Urban Community Forestry Committee.
Twigg said that the service-learning project applied lessons learned about conservation, smart growth principles, recycling, urbanization and the effects of urban sprawl.
"It's a way for the students to give back to the community while at the same time they earn their required service hours toward service-learning and for graduation," said Twigg. "It helps build self-esteem and give the students a sense they accomplished something."
"It's another great experience at Green Ridge State Forest," said Kara Kennel, board of education service learning coordinator. "This is the second time this year that Allegany students partnered with Green Ridge for a tree-planting project. This is the true meaning of service learning."
Around lunch time, students were treated to a surprise when a caravan consisting of 53 Corvettes of every year and color with the Free State Corvette Club stopped for a prearranged break on their journey to points further west.
The Corvette club and the students ate lunch together at the headquarters overlook while they heard an environmental presentation about the natural wonders of Green Ridge from the forest manager, Francis Zumbrun.
"This is what makes Green Ridge State Forest an interesting place to work," said Mark Beals, assistant forest manager and event organizer. "People from all walks of life visit the forest and intermingle."
Zumbrun noted that the planting activity carries on a long tradition of volunteerism over the years through organizations like Friends of Volunteer Team, which promote and oversee meaningful volunteer work at Rocky Gap State Park, Dan's Mountain State Park and Green Ridge State Forest.

Nice collection. It is great to have all these effects in one post – definitely a bookmark.
Lee MilthorpeJune 22, 2009
Hey Henry, you've certainly picked some really high quality resources here!
Although it looks really unnatural, my favourite has to be the Dramatic Gritty Effect. It shows just how different a photograph can look from shooting to post processing!
With regards to using photogaphs to enhance web design though, I think the main aspects that should be looked at are the photograph's colours and lighting. Everything else is just getting creative!

This course is a comprehensive guide to the popular digital audio software from Apple, demonstrating the tools and techniques to create, edit, and publish music and podcasts. Author Todd Howard covers the ins and outs of the application, from interfacing with external devices, exploring Apple Loops, and recording instrument and vocal tracks to creating successful mixes, performing edits, and sharing finished projects. Additionally, the course introduces the new features in GarageBand '11, including Flex Time and Groove Matching, which provide powerful methods for editing and tightening up the rhythmic timing of tracks.
GarageBand provides several methods for saving your projects and a few of them even offer some hard drive space savings, but at a cost. Now, in my opinion, the best thing to do is just get yourself a nice, big external FireWire or a USB hard drive. They are incredibly affordable now-a- days by comparison to even a couple of years ago, and just keep all of your project files backed up on it. Anything you're still working on or likely to work on again soon, you can keep on your computer, but if you're done with it, or have made several mixes and you want to just back it all up, then you can save it all to your external hard drive and not worry about it.
Everything is at its full quality, the resolution that you originally recorded at, and you don't have to worry about making choices about saving hard drive space. That said, let's go through some of the options that you have for saving and archiving projects. Some of them may actually be particularly useful to you. First of all, there is the standard File > Save As. Now, the thing with Save As is this is the largest file format that you can save it. So all of your original audio that you've recorded into the project, all of the data for your MIDI performances, all of the loops that you may include, as well as your automation data are all saved into the GarageBand project package, and then that takes up as much space as it takes up, depending on the tracks you have and how long your file is, et cetera.
But you can always just use Save As. Call this final_mixdown-SaveAs, and save it. If I actually go look at that file and do a Command+I for Get Info, I can see that it's 92.7 megabytes for a one- minute song of some 8 or 10 tracks. Keep in mind too that if you're recording at an even higher quality, press Command+Comma to go in to Preferences and Advanced and under Audio Resolution, if you have this set to Best, you will be recording at 24-bit as well as exporting 24-bit files.
This is going to add again to your overall file size, so depending on what size you're using for your recording, that will have a large impact on the size of your final file once you've saved it. Another option you have is Save as Archive Project. Under File > Save As. Now, what Save as Archive Project does is it will actually save all of the real instrument loops that you have used in your project directly into the project file, so that you can actually bring this GarageBand project to another Mac who may not have the loops that you have and continue to work on the project.
So this is actually the way that we've saved a number of the exercise files in this course, so that you could have access to some of the loops that are located in the Rhythm section jam pack, which you may or may not have. So you just click Archive Project and I will name this one Archive and Save, and we'll go back out and take a look at this one, see if there's any difference. 93.5, so a little bit of file difference. Saving as an archive project is always going to be a little bit bigger because we're including the Apple loops as well as all of the other stuff that we've recorded.
Now, there is another check box in File > Save As that we will visit, and this is Compact Project. Now, what you do with Compact Project basically is trade quality of audio for file size. So for some reason you need to save a workable, editable GarageBand file but with much less file space. Some examples might be a situation where your hard drive is getting quite full and you still need to save the project or maybe you are going to save hundreds of GarageBand files off to a laptop maybe and take them on a trip with you.
You can use these three different settings for Micro, Small, and Medium, which basically takes all of your audio files that you've recorded and converts them to Apple's supportable format, which is AAC, and you can choose three different quality levels. Medium size compact projects at 192 actually sound fairly good. You are going to be mostly happy with that if you have to save down to this file format. I definitely recommend using the Medium. So we will just go ahead and Save this one as well and we will compare our file size.
CompactMed so we know it's medium, and we click Save. Well, this might take a little bit longer because it has to do the conversions. All of our audio files over to AAC. But luckily, this project is only 1 minute long, so it's going pretty quickly through them. I will go back to the Finder again and take a look and we see that our project size is now 21.3 megabytes. But this is still a completely editable, workable GarageBand project file. It's just that all of the audio files have been down-converted to AAC.
Good practice and good rule of thumb is to always save a master mix as well using the Share > Export Song to Disk command and make sure the Compress button is unchecked, so that you can save a full resolution file off to your hard drive as well. Now, you've got a CD-quality master saved to your hard drive and you can burn that to a CD, you can archive that, you can save it, upload it somewhere, so it's always going to be your backup of your best quality of this final mixdown.
I usually save a master mixdown file AIF like the one I just saved and my original GarageBand project file in a folder called whatever the name of the song is and back that up to an external hard drive.

A watery gel could improve the success rate of eye operations. Scientists from the Mendeleev University of Chemistry and Technology in Moscow made a "hydrogel" of 98 per cent water and a little plastic to replace the vitreous humour, the clear fluid between the eye's lens and retina. That fluid needs to be replaced in operations to repair a retina detached as a result of a hard knock to the eye or diabetes, for example. At present, surgeons use either a gas or a silicone oil as a temporary replacement. But the opaque gas leaves patients blind for six weeks, and the silicone can cause glaucoma or cataracts. In rabbits, the clear gel has worked well as a substitute for over a year.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Green2flowers Size down runs large Love! Very glad I read the review regarding sizing issues. I am normally a size 26 in free people jeans and decided to go down a size to size 25 based on the previous reviewer (thank you!) Worked out perfectly! Super cute high waisted shorts! 4.19.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tatjanachong run large but great shorts these shorts definitely run large (a size 28 normally fits like a glove on me) but i short of wanted the roomier look with these so i ordered my normal size. they definitely stretch a bit when you wear them, but i don't mind that because i feel like it allows me to move around more freely. they are a good length and you don't have to worry about your bum poking out the bottom. i love that they kind of are high rise, they go perfectly with crop tops or flowy tops tucked in. these are definitely going to be a staple in my summer clothes closet! 6.15.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by claireannroberts my favorite pair of shorts I ignored previous reviews saying that these shorts run large but they actually do run large. Im usually a size 28 in free people pants so that's the size I ordered, turns out a size 26 fits very comfortably and I could have even gotten a size 25. I now wear them almost everyday and they go with any outfit! I love love love them but don't be afraid to size way down. 5.21.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hilauren Great shorts, but having size issues I think these are the perfect pair of shorts I have always been searching for. I usually wear size 26 or even 27 in fp jeans. I am 5'3" and 110 lbs. I ordered both colors in size 26 and they were roomy when I received them but, I don't like my shorts too tight anyway. However I decided to wash/dry them to see if they snugged up a bit to fit better. Unfortunately, they did not and that means I can't return them. So, I ordered them in a size 24 because the 26 were so roomy, but I think they might be a little too sung for me. I think I may need to return the 24's and go for the 25's for a happy medium. They really are worth the trouble with sizing for me, though. They are both beautiful colors and the denim is high quality. They are not too high-waisted, but still on trend. 3.6.2014

Ryan Makes First Wisconsin Appearance Since Becoming VP Pick
On the eve of the August primary in Wisconsin, the November presidential election is getting lots of attention in the state...because of who's been added to the Republican ticket.
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney spoke to thousands of supporters in Waukesha Sunday night...bringing running mate Paul Ryan with him. Congressman Ryan praised other Republican office-holders from the state, as people who keep their promises.
Ryan says Republicans led by Governor Scott Walker fixed the problems in Madison, and he expects the party will fix Washington.

Orchestra to be 'Seeing Red'
Final performance of color-themed season is Saturday
When the California Chamber Orchestra concludes its season this weekend, conductor and artistic director Dana Mambourg Zimbric can say she provided her audience with a rainbow of opportunities this past year.
"I'm a very visual person, and I have a very vivid imagination, so for me, music will evoke a very vibrant image or feeling," Zimbric said during a recent interview. "When I was putting together the season a year ago, the images of color just kept coming back and the idea of what does color represent and how do the pieces all connect in a concert. I think it's important that each concert has a theme, and this year it was color, because it was my attempt to capture the visual elements of the music as if it were in pictures."
For the final performance of the colorful season, on Saturday at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, the California Chamber Orchestra presents "Seeing Red," a musical interpretation of the dominant primary color.
"The theme of our concert is music that I think is passionate and romantic," Zimbric said. "This whole season has been about color, and how music evokes certain emotions that have to do with color. So when I got to red, all I could think about was love and romance and passion. I thought of exciting, vibrant music because red is such an expressive color that way. So I chose three different composers and three different pieces that I felt really embodied that beautiful, rich, passionate sense that red is."
"Seeing Red"
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Old Town Temecula Community Theater, 42051 Main St., Temecula
Tickets: $30 adults, $25 seniors, $10 students
Phone: (866) 653-8696
Online: temeculatheater.org
The concert begins with three selections from Christoph Willibald Gluck's "Orpheus and Eurydice." The opera was based on the Greek myth of the same name, where the title character of Orpheus pleads with the gods to let him bring his beloved, Eurydice, back from Hades after her death.
Zimbric chose this particular opera to express the color red's depiction of love and devotion.
"It really is the ultimate test of love and how far you would go to get your lover back," she said.
The second selection, Joaquin Rodrigo's "Fantasia para un Gentilhombre," joins Zimbric's 25-piece orchestra with guest classical guitarist Fred Benedetti.
"Honestly, I can't think of a more romantic instrument than a guitar, especially when it's playing music of the Spanish style," Zimbric said. "Fred is wonderful, and it's just a really beautiful piece, and I'm really looking forward to presenting it."
For the second half of the concert, Zimbric chose Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C Major, nicknamed the "Jupiter."
"I think they looked for a term that would capture all the character, energy, excitement, passion and the powerful nature that Jupiter is, and that's the feeling that the music evokes," she said. "I think that Mozart was such an amazing composer, and this, being the last symphony that he wrote, really shows the full height of his compositional creativity and everything he was able to do."

JDS got lucky, KO'd him with a behind the ear shot which we ALL know what happens.
Cain comes back and DESTROYS him for 9 rounds. Not even CLOSE. Just blows him out of the water.
You couldn't sell a 4th fight between those two.

Cain comes back and DESTROYS him for 9 rounds. Not even CLOSE. Just blows him out of the water.
You couldn't sell a 4th fight between those two.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Shit changes so fast in the HW division, I wouldn't say never.
Well, Cain is simply a beast. I do not see anyone giving him trouble. Good striking, good wrestling, always pressuring his opponent, he will be champ for a long time.
JDS has one of the best chins in MMA history and an amazing heart and will. Huge respect for him!
Obviously no point at all in making a 4th fight anytime soon.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
From the lowly under cards all the way to the main event...we where treated to an unbelievable fights tonight. Every single one of these fighter fought their asses off for us. Raise a beer for them and "Yes,we were intertained"
If I were junior I wouldn't want to catch that ass whoopin' again. I mean realistically...it's two fights to one, 9 1/2 rounds 1. I think it's safe to say either the injury, or some luck played a role in the first victory. Could junior catch him again? Sure.but lets just see how the division plays out. I'd never say never, but he needs a couple to challenge in my opinion.
Would I say that fight was competitive... Not really...but he touched him.... Hard on a few occasions. Juniors punches still had power through the first four Rds.... I don't get why qball said he doesn't want to watch Cain fight again... You cannot compare Cain to dc in respect to entertainment. Just look at junior face compared to Roy's.... Cain mauled junior. He almost finished it a few times, then got the finish... He was breaking away and swinging... And landing. He fought smart and not wreck less. How many times has a wounded man won by ko while the other fighter tried to wrecklessly finish? I thought dc looked good, but stalls a lot and lack killer instinct.
All in all I was happy with te fights... Plan on watching the card again.
Diego has a super human ability to recover and drive on while taking shots. He is tough. Awesome fight.
When a fighter loses there are always shitheads that are going to say very negative stuff. JDS is an excellent fighter, with great boxing, great TDD, great chin, great heart and will. It is not that he sucks, it is simply that Cain is really that great!.
At the beginning I was not very impressed with Cain, but since his Rothwell fight I knew that he was really legit.
He is a fucking tank and I do not see anyone capable of beating him today. In few years yes there will be someone, but right now that someone is busting his ass in the Gym and we do not know who is he.
JDS has received insane punishment in his last 3 fights, but he showed amazing heart and courage.
BTW it is just me or Herb Dean was actually beginning to stop the fight in the 3rd round, but then immediately let it continue after he saw thet JDS was still defending himself?
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Herb physically touched Cain. The fight should of been stopped.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful

Opacity data are very important in high energy density physics experiments. Recent targets of alternating layers of either Al2Te3 or Mg/Sn with a CH tamper have been made for obtaining these data. These targets are geometrically simple in the half-moon configuration of the metal compound coating to the pure CH tamper but require stringent procedural requirements to fabricate to the purity requirements. These specific targets require mass ratios of elements that proved to be difficult to obtain while also having the requirement of being pinhole-free and oxygen-free.
