Awesome By Armando on 2/13/2013 Armando would recommend this product to a friend Great sock at a great price. I paired this up with brs filter sock mount and it fits like a glove. I recommend it to everyone. Filter sock do a great job at collecting particles. If you go with just a filter pad some debris will make it past the pads. If you use a sock nothing get by. This is ideal in a reef aquarium where u need to keep water pristine. Good Product By preston on 12/9/2012 preston would recommend this product to a friend will buy more mesh sock By flipper on 12/3/2012 flipper would recommend this product to a friend The sock for me is good for starting up a tank. It will catch the big stuff but wont clog up from the small particals, like silt from live sand at start up. It also works well with holding media. Other then that is doesnt do much more.. Good Product By Greg on 11/18/2012 Greg would recommend this product to a friend This things work really good at catching particles and are easy to clean out. My only concern was the smell they had when i first opened them... Im sure its normal, but i aired it outside for the day just to make sure that it wasn't going to hurt anything in my tank.... But overall another great product for BFS! Clean out easy By Jay on 9/8/2012 Jay would recommend this product to a friend These clean out better than the felt kind of sock, the water clarity seemed equal using both kinds of socks. The stood up to multiple cleaning cycles in the washing machine unlike the felt type socks A single sock that I love even more than the pair of socks I use for my feet! By Jeffrey on 7/4/2012 Jeffrey would recommend this product to a friend Never used felt socks before, yet. But these mesh socks catches a lot of crap and are super easy to remove and clean. I just dunk it in a bucket of rodi water, flip it inside out and dunk some more while squeezing the excess out. Done in a few minutes and reinstall!! I may try out a felt sock and or buy a second mesh because I like them so much and are cheaper than the LFS!! quality By peter on 7/3/2012 peter would recommend this product to a friend Good quality as well as price nice and thick Works like a charm. By NanoCabana on 6/17/2012 NanoCabana would recommend this product to a friend Well made and does what it should. With the BRS quantity discount, it's worth keeping a few on hand for maintenance tasks. great option By Mary Beth on 6/10/2012 Mary Beth would recommend this product to a friend these filter socks are a great alternative to felt. i won't pretend they filter the same but would say there is little difference. the trade off is they are much easier to clean so it makes change overs very easy so they are done more often. Works great as a splash diffuser By Tony on 6/6/2012 Tony would recommend this product to a friend Great value (got 5 in order to get better discount) I am using these as a splash diffuser on my protein skimmer, which has a return that can create quite a bit of salt creep if left un-diffused. This sock softens return splash and is easy to clean. highly recomend By Jeremy on 5/5/2012 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend At half the price than lfs excellent value. Performance is also excellent. I have to replace every 4 days it catches all kinds of gunk. Thanks brs for another great product Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS Mesh Filter Sock with Plastic Ring *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 19, 2013
The US Sugarcane Harvesting industry has endured spikes and drops in revenue over the five years to 2013. Global weather patterns are largely responsible for fluctuations in price and production, which directly influence revenue. Sugar prices skyrocketed during the 2009 and 2010 growing seasons due to heavy rainfall that harmed crops in Brazil, the world's leading sugarcane producer. Consequently, the disruption in the global supply of sugar boosted demand for US downstream sugar products. As a result of the ensuing price hikes, growers increased production, and revenue for the sugarcane-harvesting industry shot up from 2008 to 2012. However, increased production caused an oversupply of sugar, dropping the commodity's price in 2012 and 2013. As a result, industry revenue has grown an annualized 11.6% in the past five years, though this includes a 12.9% drop in 2013, totaling $1.5 billion in 2013.
Industry profitability is less volatile than revenue, though is still subject to weather conditions, sugar prices and circumstances in the downstream Sugar Processing industry (IBISWorld report 31131). Downstream sugar processors are protected by government price supports and import quotas, which inflate domestic sugar prices and protect the local industry from cheaper imports. Although sugarcane farmers do not directly reap benefits from these programs, they receive payments from processors. According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Antal Neville, "While industry farmers experience losses from time to time, as any other crop grower does, the multitude of programs has kept profit relatively stable, though profit declined slightly with low 2013 sugar prices."
Nonetheless, the industry is headed for some major challenges over the next five years. In addition to slower growth in prices, increasingly health-conscious consumers will likely turn to low- and no-calorie sweeteners,

Employee Pick: Warren-Tricomi Protect Calming Serum
Employee Pick of the week is here! Warren-Tricomi Protect Calming Serum is a great hair serum that fights frizz and calms hair.
I've just recently discovered Warren-Tricomi hair care products. They make everything from hairbrushes to shampoos and conditioners, and this calming serum is one of the best I've found. I wage an ongoing battle against frizz, and this is one of the finest frizz fighting serums I've ever used. I give it an A, and I'm picky about my hair care products. It's the perfect product for curly hair, but it's great for all textures and lengths.
Warren-Tricomi Protect Calming Serum is wonderful. It makes my hair shiny and glossy, and it's oil free and lightweight, so it doesn't weigh my hair down. It's never greasy, either – I have oily hair, so that's important to me. It's a cruelty free product made in the good old USA, which is also important to me.
You just give the bottle one or two pumps and apply to your damp hair. (By the way, when you towel-dry your hair, don't rub – just blot! Rubbing your hair causes damage and more frizz.) Then you blow-dry as normal, and add another small amount to your hair, focusing on the ends. Voila, no frizz! It smells great, too, because it contains lavender, chamomile, and comfrey organic extracts.
It also has SPF protection, so it protects your hair against damage caused by the sun. That's crucial during the summertime; I don't know about you, but I plan on being out in the bright sunshine a lot this summer.
Does anyone use Warren-Tricomi Protect Calming Serum? How about any of their other products? I love their cushion hairbrush, and it actually calms my frizz, too. Makes it shiny, as well, and I love it. Let me know on twitter, facebook, or just leave me a comment here on the blog.

Could there have been a more perfect way for the darling Oklahoma City Thunder—an energetic bunch of youngsters who for years were described as "waiting their turn"—to make their first trip to the NBA Finals? Since moving to Oklahoma City, the Thunder have simply climbed the Western Conference ladder step by step. After missing the playoffs in 2009, they lost to the eventual champion Lakers in Round 1 in 2010 before falling to eventual champion Dallas in the Western Conference Finals in 2011. In 2012, they dominated the NBA's last two champs in the Mavericks and Lakers, and have now dealt the league's top-seeded Spurs, once winners of 20 straight, four consecutive losses en route to the NBA Finals. Wednesday night marked the Thunder's final exam, as Tony Parker and the rest of San Antonio's offense erupted early and dropped Oklahoma City into an 18-point hole with a hostile Game 7 in San Antonio on the horizon. But like every test they've faced this postseason, the Thunder pass...

Building on a raised deck?
I would really like to build an oven, but want to have easy access to it by building it on the raised deck off my kitchen.
As I am new to this, can someone suggest what I would need to do to support the oven?
The deck is about 3ft off the ground, currently supported by wood posts.
Re: Building on a raised deck?
Several months ago someone posted a very similar idea (I don't remember who it was). They planned on building a tall concrete block base right next to the deck so they would have deck access to the oven without stressing the deck. I haven't seen any progress pics or updates on this plan.
Your deck is only 3' high, so a base built next to it wouldn't be terribly tall. This is the way I would go. Another idea might be to remove the area of the deck where the oven will go and build the stand up from the ground; so the deck will wrap around the oven.
I over-engineered and built our 700 sqft deck and there is no way I would put an oven on it. The oven will be heavier than a hot tub.
Good luck and keep us up to date on your plans!
Re: Building on a raised deck?
Not an engineer, but I agree with not building on the existing deck. As Ken mentions, a completed oven weighs more than a full hot tub (and many people don't build their decks to withstand that weight, and then have structural problems). I calculated the complete weight of my oven (from ground to spark arrester at about 6500 lbs...more than my wife's car or my truck.
I too would build from the ground up; either next to the deck or with minor alterations to the deck, have it surround the front and 2 sides of the oven.
Building from the ground up will give you the support, and also an extra 3 ft of storage for wood or lawn/garden items.
One other point - a well constructed oven will last for centuries, a deck seems to need some sort of repair or refurbishment at least every 8-10 years at best. Why put an indestructable, extremely heavy, masonry structure on top of a wood structure that is exposed to the elements and will most certainly need repair many times in your lifetime.
Re: Building on a raised deck?
Thank you both for the response.
On reflection, I think it best to build to the side of the deck.
I plan to read up a bit more and start construction in the spring.
Re: Building on a raised deck?
Because you're in Edmonton, don't forget to find out how deep your footings must be for frost. Here in rural Ontario, it's four feet. Yours might have to be deeper depending on the substrate you'll be building on.
Re: Building on a raised deck?
wish your build were sooner, I would really like to see it. I think you could have a really cool looking outdoor area. Can't remember seeing a raised height oven completed. I know I have seen a couple of proposed ovens for similar situations, but no finished pics that I can recall. Good luck and stay warm up there.

Umm so remember when we here at BSO reported yesterday that New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, hurt his forearm while hitting off a tee and would only be out 7-10 days? Well it turns out it was a much worst injury to his wrist and according to George A. King III of the New York Post, Teixeira will be sidelined for 8-10 weeks. The Yankees' nightmare spring training continued on Wednesday with news that Mark Teixeira will be out 8-10 weeks with a strained right wrist. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Teixeira will rest four weeks before beginning rehab. The timetable means that Teixeira is unlikely to be in the middle of the Yankees lineup until the middle of June, joining Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez on the team's list of power bats that start the season on the disabled list. Teixeira flew to New York on Wednesday to have tests done on the wrist. The first baseman had been in Arizona preparing for the World Baseball Classic when he heard a pop in his wrist. If you're a Yankees fan, this is an appropriate time to start panicking.

Convicted burglar takes 15-year plea deal
CORPUS CHRISTI - A man accused in a string of home burglaries on the city's Southside took a plea deal Monday for 15 years in prison.
Ruben Guerrero, 27, had been set to face trial Monday, but instead pleaded guilty to four counts of burglary of a habitation and one attempted burglary of a habitation count. Guerrero was arrested on July 23, 2009.
He was sentenced to 15 years on each of the five counts, which he will serve at the same time, according to online court records.
He could have faced as long as life in prison on four of the counts because prosecutors used a prior felony conviction to enhance his punishment range.
The charges stemmed from burglaries that took place last summer in neighborhoods in the 78414 and 78415 ZIP codes, prosecutor Doug Mann said.

Why are the mods moving threads?

Well I can see I'm outflanked and aren't going to get anywhere on this one.
I will just go on record saying I don't agree with it.
For you to tell me that everything that comes under a driver heading has to go into one thread only is just plain ridiculous. A person could go through reading a hundred posts to get one that is addressing what he wanted info on or comment on where if a specific thread was made, many could go without having to read one gigantic thread and hope he finds it. What you are doing is forcing someone who wants info on something specific to have to read a whole thread which may have info he's not interested in. Big threads are not that good because people get tired of reading and start missing info. How many times have you seen a great big thread where people are asking the same questions over and over because the thread was just too big that people started skimming instead of reading.
That was a pretty cute remark of you saying, "that's why we are the mods and you're not". I guess you thought it was necessary to throw that in eh?
I guess when I need to post a thread about something specific, I'll have to go to a different forum and when I have time to kill and want to sift through one big thread to find what I want, I'll look here.

You may or may not remember me blowing up Mark Webber's spot when we worked together on his voice for Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Mark had to learn to sing in 5 mins (well not literally, but in the world of learning to master an instrument and knowing how long that actually takes, that's pretty much what it boiled down to) and…well, he did! He has a new film called The End Of Love, which he not only stars in, but wrote and directed. As someone who recently became a mother and struggled with the adjustment of balancing life in a new way I can say it's poignant, raw and expertly created. Mark is not only a first class actor, but he is a craftsman…a true creative, (he's also a sweetheart of a guy!). You can see the trailer here…THE END OF LOVE. I'd love you to go and see it. Please support this artist! Buy it here on iTunes.
Beyonce – National Anthem – Presidential Inauguration 2013
Beyonce blows my mind. Did you see her sing the US National Anthem at the Presidential Inauguration? Amazing. Now, I believe singers, especially R&B singers of her calibre, tend overdo the anthem and sing all over it. But no, she restrained herself and demonstrated solid technique, passion and true professionalism. Watch it here
Notice how she used mostly head voice and held out notes. It's more of a classical approach than she usually brings, because she can completely belt in that range in her chest voice. I only caught a few runs and they were tastefully done. I like it when I see varying degrees of style and taste in singers, especially when they have the clout to do whatever they want. It's cool.
I read something about her lip-synching the anthem, here. I don't believe it. I might believe she sang to herself for support, singers do that all the time, but you can see her throat and her jaw responding to the vibrato, you can't fake that! Let me just say, there is no way! That was live. She's an amazing singer. Wonderful.
Congratulations President Obama and well done Beyonce!
Side note: Jason Wu needs FULL METAL props for dressing The First Lady. She looked amazing! I love the jacket she wore with the leather gloves. It reminded me of a demure Trinity from The Matrix. Completely bad ass.
1/25/13 addendum: After the week long assault of press pertaining to whether or not Beyonce lip-synched….seriously? I mean…seriously? You can hear and see the connection with her voice to the mic. At the beginning, where it is hard to hear her, you can hear her voice in the distance. It's a live sound echo thing….big space, outdoors…etc. Listen for where she says "stripes" and kind of trips on the "p" then takes a breath. It's live. Now can we move on with our lives….please.
Christina Aguilera – Work Ethic – The Voice Season 3.
Ok, over the holiday season I caught up on The Voice Season 3. I liked it. I thought The final 4 worthy candidates and agreed more or less with the judges this time around. Terry McDermott blew my mind. OMG. He was flawless. I loved Nicholas David…I thought he was stylistically spot on and authentic. I loved that these two contestants reflected what is cool about the show, neither of them were 18 and they weren't necessarily oil paintings, yet their voices and their talent were the sole reason they were there.
Now, let me say that Trevin Hunt, who is UNBELIEVABLE, has a long and lovely career ahead of him. But why didn't he beat out the others? Christina summed this up really nicely. At one point in the competition, down to the final four or three, she commented on Terry McDermott's performance and more importantly his work ethic. Christina said to the audience something like, *you guys see the lights and the glitz, but you don't see what happens behind the scenes. It's the work ethic that counts. Terry has sung 3 times tonight, not to mention all day long.* (I'm not quoting, but it's pretty close). She's right. Around the same time (episode wise) Trevin Hunt performed The Greatest Love of All. It wasn't his best work and if you were listening at all you'd have heard that he barely had a voice. This doesn't mean he can't sing…the guy is crazy talented, but he wasn't prepared for how "often" he would need to sing during the competition. Whereas the final 3 were prepared for that, they had experience. The reason why Terry, Nicolas and Cassidy could go the distance is because they had experience "singing all the time"! It matters.
When practicing, I believe, most of you imagine yourself auditioning or on stage. Few of you imagine yourselves rehearsing for 3 hours everyday or sitting in a corner with headphones on learning lyrics to 3 songs that you'll have to sing on national television tomorrow. Right? In these kinds of competitions, and well, in the life of a true working artists, you have to be ready to go at all times and be as good as you are. Stamina. It matters.
So, pace yourself…it might look like this; start singing a little in the morning, then check in in the afternoon, then again in the evening. Do mild vocal warm ups and then later on in the day do more stamina, endurance warm ups. Choose songs to sing that are easy to moderate – to difficult. Space them out through the day. If you feel fatigued and/or like you're losing your voice, stop. Have a rest for a day and ease in the next day. Be smart.
Good luck and may the voice be with you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Thanks for reading. My New Year's resolution? To blog once a week…at least. Hold me to it…ok? Sorry I sucked at it in 2012….here's to looking ahead!
All my love for a wonderful 2013!!!!
Chris Mann – New Album
Chris Mann, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing earlier this year, is finally releasing his CD. You may remember him from The Voice season II. I've had a little "sneaky peak" via his manager and I have to say, it's breathtaking! Pure voice, pure spirit. LOVE IT. If you're at all interested in hearing a sample or per-ordering it, you can do so here – iTunes.
Alexandra Starlight – Gettin' 'er did!
I rarely talk about my clients and our work together on my blog, and I really try to keep the obvious promo stuff to Facebook and Twitter. However, get ready for a good ole' fashion brag. Miss Alexandra was brought to me about 4 years ago by her manager at the time, with a cool character to her voice and a whole gut full of passion. Alexandra was a self taught singer who had found herself fronting a band and was trying to navigate all the things that come with that; Singing over a mess of loud amps, working with a drummer who didn't have much finesse or sensitivity to a vocalist, and the classic problem, songs in all the wrong keys for her voice. Suffice it to say, Alexandra would loose her voice on a regular basis.
After an introductory lesson, I sat her down and said, in no uncertain terms, that the work needed to be done would be frustrating, and more often than not she would feel like she couldn't sing at all. To really drive the "tough love" home I added that I couldn't give her a time frame as to when things would improve. I must say that at this point in my introductory lessons, I've seen grown men cry! Alexandra just said, "Are you available next week?".
Well, here we are, 2012. She released a 7″ vinyl EP (glitter vinyl thank you very much!) which was funded entirely by her kickstarter.com campaign. Also, just this week she performed on GoodDayLA (which you can watch here – Alexandra Starlight Good Day LA). Last night she was at DimMak Studios in Hollywood performing a Miles Davis tribute show for The Miles Davis House. Then she was in my studio for a lesson this afternoon and tonight she's in Ventura performing a show. Her voice sounds strong, full of character, she knows who she is and where she is headed.
I'm proud and impressed with Alexandra because she fully trusted the process, rolled up her sleeves and did the work. I don't always get the satisfaction of seeing a client work right through the tough stuff. Honestly, on average many quit before they get to the finish line. Alexandra is DOING THE WORK and reaping the benefits!!! Go Alexandra Starlight!
Why Does My Voice Sound Different When It Is Recorded?
Hello all. No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I've been very busy working on a book project with masterful Kuk Harrell (who BTW had an amazing article in the NY Times recently – read here.), plus a recording project with my new group, teaching, school and a 2 year old (yikes!). Anyway, I have a few posts in the works that I'll be posting between now and the end of the U.S. summer. I'm going on holidays this summer for the first time in years, and I finally purchased an iPad, which I still haven't unpacked from the box, (I'm a bit scared!), so I'm sure this will give me ample time to respond to questions and post some new stuff.
In the meantime I thought I'd share this article with you that I read in Scientific American™. I often hear singers (especially the newbies) remark on how their voice sounds completely different on a microphone, or when they record in the studio and hear it back in the headphones etc. I always say quite simply that it doesn't sound different to anyone else but you as our experience of our own voice is different inside our own head in comparison to how other people hear it. When I work with students I veer them towards the microphone as soon as they're comfortable, as this is the only way to get used to it. Anyway, Scientific American posted a lovely article explaining this phenomenon in more scientific terms. Happy reading! See you soon!

Chris Mann – The Voice – Exclusive Interview
The live rounds for the current season of The Voice start on the 2nd of April and the auditions for the next season of The Voice are currently underway in LA. I have worked with so many singers, contemporary and classical who are auditioning all over the country. The main challenges I see in preparing for these auditions are; selecting songs and being specific whilst staying true to your own unique voice and style. Chris Mann, who is currently enjoying success as a contestant on The Voice, was kind enough to answer some questions addressing these challenges and sharing some insight into his journey on The Voice. Let me tell you, Chris knows his stuff!
Q: Hi Chris, thanks so much for agreeing to answer these questions, I know you will inspire so many singers by doing so. In reading your bio I was interested to find out your Grandfather was a singer; and that this discovery had a profound impact on your singing career. What was your singing history before that moment and how did it change as a result?
A: I started singing when I was 15 years old in Kansas. My grandfather always wanted to hear me sing and I didn't really understand why. It wasn't until I found a stack of records that ended up being his singing demos, from when he was my age, that it became clear. I had no idea my grandfather came out to LA as a teenager to try his luck in show business, but he gave up that dream to start a family back in Kansas. I felt like I was carrying the torch for him, in a way. It changed the significance of my ambition since it wasn't just about me anymore.
Q: What was your Grandfather's name and what did he release?
A: Robert Beeler—he never released anything publicly but I consider his recordings among my prized possessions.
Q: You talk about Sinatra and Pavarotti as being inspirational to you, but also Robbie Williams. He's so different from the style music you do, can you elaborate on why he is an inspiration? Are there other singers you are (or were) inspired by that people might not expect and why?
A: I like to describe my style as "Josh Groban meets Robbie Williams" because I want to sing beautiful, lyrical melodies like Groban…but with some rock star flare like Williams! I have a soulful voice, even though it's classically trained, so I want to let all those influences shine through and bring something new to my genre.
Sinatra is the coolest in the world to me. I listen to him as well as tons of other artists like The Killers, Coldplay, Keith Urban, Melanie Fiona, Lady Antebellum, Adele, Pink, David Gray…I could go on and on…
Q: Couldn't we all! Following on from the above, how important do you think it is to be genre specific in today's music industry?
A: INCREDIBLY! I can be a vocal chameleon because I've made a living as a session singer for so long. It's very easy to lose sight of your own sound when you're constantly trying to be every voice for session. I found it was really messing me up as an artist. A while back I had to step away from a steady session gig that was really asking me to sing in ways that went against my better judgment. I got vocally centered again and rededicated myself to my "classical voice" which led me to working with David Foster, Babyface and landed me a spot on The Voice!
The industry doesn't develop artists anymore—that's the artists job. If you are lucky enough to get an A&R or label meeting its really important to know your voice and sound, have one strong artistic influence in your genre (as opposed to 10 from varying genres) and know exactly what you want and where you want to go. These aren't easy questions to answer, but you honestly need to know who you are as an artist—if you don't know how can you expect a label to know? It took me 11 years to figure this out…haha.
Q: I do think that those questions are hard to answer, but you're right, if the artist can't answer them, especially nowadays, nobody else will. It's the focused that succeed, not necessarily the most talented. However, it's obvious you are also influenced outside your genre, but I sense that these inspirations are more of an embellishment (in the way you use them), than a core factor. So, what is your advice to up and coming singers on being inspired by artists without trying to become the artist?
A: I'm hearing a lot of singers sounding EXACTLY like Adele right now. We're all influenced and inspired by her but none of us SOUND like her! That's what makes her Adele. The sound that naturally comes out of your mouth is your sound. You can nurture it and use it like a paintbrush to tell the songs story and that will make you unique.
Q: That is so true, and before Adele came along, I felt everyone was trying to sound like Feist, or follow that "little girl" voice that was super popular. I think the shift that happened in music when Adele came along, vocally and musically, is a testament to staying true to who you are and holding on to that. As we both know, the music industry and the "flavour of the month" can change on a dime. I feel you've been there before based on what you said at the blind auditions. You mentioned that you had tried many different ways of singing only to come full circle to your authentic voice; what other directions did you try and how has being authentic changed your career?
A: I started out singing classically and had my first record deal singing classical crossover. When I lost my deal, I went as far from Classical crossover as I could and made a pop record. I also got very involved in session work in LA, which needed me to sound younger and sing with less color in my voice. When I realized I was losing my own natural sound to this I stopped and went back to Classical Singing.
Once I stopped trying to sound what others wanted and needed me to sound like my career really began. I started doing shows with David Foster and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and eventually was selected for The Voice. It was a hand to forehead moment when I was like "Oh!…THIS is what I should have been doing the WHOLE time!" In my gut I knew this was my dream but I was avoiding it for a while.
Q: I get it. However, I think that is natural though, especially when you have the ability to be versatile, but kudos to you for figuring it out and following through on it! So, you're the first classical singer on The Voice. What has been your biggest challenge as a classical singer on a show that (so far) has been driven more by contemporary music?
A: My biggest challenge has been making sure the songs I sing stay true to my artistic vision. After all this genre testing, I don't want to get diluted by singing songs that are too pop. It's important to fight for what you think is best for you as an artist.
Q: I worked with a classic singer via skype in Florida, who was trying to sing more contemporary genres, but when she sang opera, it was literally like the heavens opened. I managed to get her an audition with the talent producer for The Voice in Atlanta. At this audition she was talked out of doing what she had prepared and it didn't go well. What advice would you give to classic singers (or any singers) who are auditioning for The Voice after being a part of the show?
A: Go into the audition knowing EXACTLY who you are and what you want. These are tough questions but questions you must know the answers to in this business.
Q: Good advice. Easier said than done sometimes, but so, so true. Lastly, this is a singing blog and I am a vocal coach, so I have to ask, do you have a vocal warm-up routine? Does it differ from others' and if yes, how so?
A: Yes. I warm up every day. I use classical vocal exercises and am focusing on not singing too heavy in these high-energy pressure filled situations.
Good note. That is so important, as you know. I often tell singers to make sure not to push the voice too hard before the performance. Thanks so much for your time Chris, and I'll be rooting for you at the live rounds. Good luck on the show and in the rest of your career.

Choosing Audition Songs
In working with people via skype and here in LA, the biggest issue for singers who are auditioning seems to be choosing the right songs. There are many factors to consider and spending as much time as it takes to find the most perfect songs for you and your voice is key.
1) Genre. If you are a country singer, do a country song. If you're a rock singer, do a rock song. It sounds so obvious, but it seems to confuse a lot of singers. Then, be specific about "WHO" you are and consider that there are different genres within a genre. For example, if you are a country artist, are you a Miranda Lambert style, Townes Van Zant style, Shania Twain rock pop crossover style or perhaps Merle Haggard style? Be specific about who you are 100%.
2) Key. If the song works for you throughout the song except for that low note that occurs in the verse. Change the key or change that note. Don't skimp on this. If you go in to the audition thinking, "well, it's just one note and most of the time, I can hit it", change it. Make sure the song is in a range that is accessible for you 100% of the time so you can be free to just perform and not worry about trouble spots. The melody has to sing well when it's all you have to carry your voice. Then, when you have the key that's right for you, use a pitch pipe to find your note before you start singing or if you're keeping the original key, listen to the beginning of the song on your headphones before you start to sing. Otherwise, it's likely you'll sing the song in the wrong key and once you start you can't stop.
3) Arrangement. Find the best part of the song for you. For example, perhaps you sing the 2nd verse better than 1st, in which case, start with the 2nd verse. Perhaps the chorus immediately gets you in a zone where you can emote or feel comfortable, then start with the chorus. There are no rules (unless given) when they only allow you to sing 30 seconds of a song a cappella, so find the best parts of the song and fuse them. However, make sure you know the rest of the song and if the judges don't stop you keep going!
4) Diversity. Have other songs ready that are in the same genre. I suggest having 8 to 10 songs ready. For example, if you're singing an Adele song, have other soulful diva songs ready to go. If you're doing a Green Day song, again, pick other songs in the same genre.
5) Creativity. You'll probably be singing a cappella which gives you more freedom with your choices. Try choosing a female song if you're a guy or male song if you're a girl and make it your own. On Adele's first album she did a version of Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love and if you compare this with Bob Dylan's version it's completely different. This is also a great example of taking a song in one genre and making it work in another.
6) Appropriate. Choose songs you can personally connect with. I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables does not suit a 16 year old girl. It suits an older woman who is reflecting on her life, whereas, Sittin' Up In My Room by Brandy doesn't suit an older woman. Make sure the subject matter is age appropriate and that you can connect with it. Find a personal experience to draw from that you can loose yourself in. If you are able to "perform" for the judges then you will have a better chance of getting attention.
Once you've got a handful of songs you're pleased with, record yourself and play it back. Often the song sounds different from how it feels when you sing. If you're happy with the selection, the key, the arrangement and feel you're ready to go, find some people you trust and sing your songs for them and ask for feedback. Selecting songs should take a good deal of time but the good news is, once you have a repertoire of songs then this task becomes easier.
Good luck!
Write Girl – LA Today
I had a great day today volunteering downtown at The Grammy Museum with WriteGirl. WriteGirl is an activity of Community Partners, a nonprofit charity organization that is dedicated to empowering at-risk teen girls through mentor-ship and self-expression. Founded by the amazing Keren Taylor, WriteGirl held their 11th Annual Songwriting Workshop today from about 10:30 to 5pm. I teach on Saturdays so I was unable to get there until about 2pm and was immediately thrust into some group work with some of the girls. They had different groups set up talking about things like; rhyming schemes, song structure, rhythm and other song writing particulars. The group I joined was talking about "metaphors" (a word which can't hear without hearing my friend and writing guru, Claudette Sutherland saying "Metaphors be with you!") and ways they can enhance writing. To hear some of the girls, (13 – 18) talk about current songs and their thoughts on what certain songs were trying to say through metaphor was truly inspiring; one 13year old girl commented on Adele's, "Set Fire To The Rain" saying, "Well, rain symbolizes all that is sad and you wanna burn everything that is making you sad, but you can't burn rain!". Brilliant! I was mentoring with two fellow songwriters Danielle Brisebois and Kyler England who were both lovely and extremely knowledgeable. Then, we all worked one-on-one with girls in the auditorium and helped them get their writing to a point where they could be used in a song. The finale, (which nobody prepared me for, and it's a good thing too as I'd have run screaming) the mentors (us!) had to take random sheets of paper with pieces of songs on them, and on the fly, sing them on stage for the girls to hear, showing them how it all comes together. The final result! OMG! I didn't have enough time to process it, but let me just say, I was terrified. Well, I'm so glad, like I said, that I didn't know, because it was one of the most inspiring, radical and rewarding thing I've ever done. These girls were so enthralled to hear their journal musings come to life. Their defensive and/or shy dispositions turned into unabashed joy and inspiration. At the same time, we, the mentors were blown away by some of the writings these young girls created and the thrill of watching each other create on the fly. It was a truly brilliant, raw and encouraging experience. At the end of the day, we songwriters are moved to write songs because we want to express something. It really is, all it's about. Thank you Keren, Michelle and Naomi for the invite. I will be looking forward to the next one! I'm sure there will be some footage and photos to come, which I will add.
Here's Keren Taylor, the executive director, with Sarah Silverman, Keren is tireless in her efforts and pulls such a vast array of writing talent to mentor the girls! For more information on writegirl, to purchase writegirl collections or just to donate, you can read more here; WriteGirl

As an expert in neither, it strikes me that cooking, unlike baking, is something that can be tweaked along the way. A bit of this and a squirt of that, you can taste as you go and mistakes can usually be rescued. It's a forgiving kind of sport. Any tweaking of ingredients in baking, however, can have a catastrophic effect. Leave a casserole in the oven five minutes too long, no problemo. Leave a sponge past its allocated time: disaster. With baking, there are rules and I really can't abide rules.
I can chart my own fear of baking back to a childhood incident when I decided to surprise my mother with a cheesecake. It was one of those packet jobs no doubt viewed with suspicion by aficionados but hey, I was eight. While opening the packet of crunchy base I managed to tip the contents onto the kitchen floor which was, tragically, covered in carpet tiles. With a flagrant disregard for health and safety I proceeded to scrape the mixture, plus wiry bits of carpet, back into the tin. Hours later, as the family politely tucked into my creation, I kept mum. I can't see a cheesecake now without thinking of soiled carpet tiles.
Then there was Home Economics at school which produced a weekly offering of woeful creations fashioned from fusty flour, which bore the prints of a hundred sticky fingers, and raisins older than us. My greatest success was a batch of scones which kept the PE department in hockey pucks for years.
Another reason I can't abide this baking show, apart from all the blubbing, (it's a slightly wonky Swiss roll, people, let's get some perspective) is the wave of baking enthusiasm it sparks. Suddenly everyone is inflicting their sub-standard sugary experiments on loved ones.
But what I find really problematic about this show is that it is essentially an hour long, finger-licking advert for cake which compels me to the corner shop for a fresh stash. As all cake addicts know, once that sweet treat is over the threshold, the battle of wills is lost and all you can do is chow down on that sweetness until every last crumb is gone.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 12/26/12
Fred and Jeff Wilpon made ESPN's list of the 10 most loathed New York sports figures of 2012. You can click here to view the list, and here to rank them yourself. Here are the latest rankings which has Alex Rodriguez leading in points and Fred and Jeff Wilpon leading in most first place votes. I don't know how ESPN determined their nominees, but I found it odd that the Yankees had three players on the list while ownership and management got a free pass. Yet on the Mets side only ownership made the cut while lets say Jason Bay managed to avoid the list.

As of Tuesday, April 24, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
The question of whether Keith Jerome Roberts was involved in the 2006 torture and murder of Morehouse College student, Carlnell Walker, likely hinges on a fingerprint found on part of an oil lamp at the murder scene.
Roberts, 28, is accused of being part of a group of men who stabbed, tied up, and beat up Walker, cut off his dreadlocks, doused him with lamp oil, and stuffed him in the trunk of an Oldsmobile that was parked in the garage of the victim's Riverdale-area home.
He is facing 13 counts — three counts of felony murder, one count of malice murder, three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of burglary, one count of aggravated battery, one count of kidnapping, one count of false imprisonment, and one count of armed robbery.
The indictment against Roberts states that the attack on Walker, and his death, happened sometime between June 21, 2006, and July 8, 2006.
Prosecutors said during Roberts' trial on Tuesday that smeared blood, cut-off pieces of hair, furniture turned over, displaced mattresses, and Walker's clothing and credit cards were found scattered on the floor at the murder scene. The scene was spread out across several rooms in the college student's home.
"Keith Roberts had those fingerprints that were right there in the house, and not just anywhere in the house," Clayton County Executive Assistant District Attorney Jason Green said. "They were on the globe lamp that was right there in the middle of all that destruction, on the floor."
How the fingerprint — which defense attorneys argue came from only one finger — got on the globe of the lamp will likely be a key point as the trial continues Wednesday. Green told Roberts' attorney, Dwight L. Thomas, during a break in the trial that he plans to rest his case on Wednesday.
Thomas said, on Monday, that the only witness he is "definitely" going to call to the stand is a fingerprint expert, who, he asserted, would refute the prosecution's claims about the print found at the crime scene. On Tuesday, Thomas argued that the fingerprint does not prove Roberts was in Walker's home when the torture and murder took place.
"You're not going to hear any evidence, whatsoever, as to the precise date, time or hour that that fingerprint was left on there," he told jurors during opening arguments. "You are not going to hear any evidence that Keith Roberts, in fact, entered the premises of Carlnell Walker for some criminal purposes June 21, June 22, all the way up to July 8."
On the trial's first day, however, the fingerprint issue was left on the back burner as witness testimony began. Witnesses, including a medical examiner for the state of Georgia, the police officer who found Walker's body, and the lead detective on the case, spent the first afternoon of the trial describing the crime scene and the condition of the victim's body when an autopsy was performed.
Clayton County Police Detective Chris Helton, who was a patrol officer at the time of the murder, said he and another officer went to Walker's home on July 8, to perform a welfare check on him, at the request of his mother, who lived in California. He said he found the back door of the home open, and could smell "the stench of what I knew was of a dead body" as he approached the house.
Helton said no lights were turned on in the home, and no air conditioning was turned on. He added that the interior of the home, including the garage was "oven-like hot." Dr. Keith Leyman, a medical examiner with the state medical examiner's office, testified earlier that he determined during his autopsy on Walker's body that "the cause of death was entrapment in the trunk of a car, in a hot environment."
Helton also explained that "there was a lot of debris on the floor" in the house, and furniture was pushed up against the walls in the living room. "It appeared it [the home] had been searched," he said.
Detective Stefan Schindler, who was the lead investigator on the case, later described the scene in the house, by explaining "In my opinion, there was one heck of a struggle that happened in that house."
Prosecutors finished questioning Schindler early Tuesday evening. Thomas is expected to begin cross-examining the detective at 9 a.m., on Wednesday.

Romney's $1 trillion budget-maths hole
Politicians put more fudge in budget numbers than bakers put in brownies. Take President Barack Obama's fiscal-2012 budget, which assumed 4.4% growth in 2013 and 4.3% in 2014. Where did such rosy projections come from?

I just set up my new Workforce 60 and tried it out on a fairly demanding project -- printing copies of a calendar. Each year, I create a calendar using my own paintings and photographs, which I give to family and friends. I'm picky about color and print quality. In the past, actually printing the calendar has been a pain, since I had to print two-sided manually and it took forever (yes, my old printer -- from another manufacturer -- was old and slow, and I always had to fuss with color). I first did a trial copy, using the default settings. The prints were good -- at least as good as my old printer could do, without making adjustments. But the calendar didn't work, since the top pages were upside down. So I went exploring in the printer preferences and found the settings for top binding and text + image quality, and printed another copy. WOW! Not only were the pages properly aligned, the images came alive! They positively glowed! And the automatic two-sided printing worked perfectly, with no glitches or slipped paper or misfed paper, even with the heavy paper I was using. It now has printed multiple copies without getting overheated or sticky. And it is incredibly fast! If an every-day printer like this Workforce 60 can produce such good results, I can hardly wait till I get enough money together to buy the Stylus Photo R2880 I have my eye on and see what it can do!

What a pain. It started out OK, but within a couple months I was having paper jamming problems. It either jams or takes all the paper in the feeder at once, and your single page is printed out over five sheets of paper! It's so bad now, that the only way to print a document with more than one page is to turn off the speed printing, set it to "fine" and single feed each sheet of paper. A total pain. To be fair, my son has one of these printers and has had no problems. Also, after about 30 printed pages, the output has lines in it and I have to clean the printer heads! Also, if printing photos, this printer is extremely fussy about using Epson name brand paper.

Paper feed is a constant problem
By Cmyers
from Celebration, FL
I am not sure if I would recommend this printer. I have constant paper feed issues/jams. At first it worked very well, but have had it for about 6+ months and seems to be getting worse. If I could return it I would. Just not the quality I thought it would be. I have owned many Epson printers, and must say this one does not meet my expectations.
Workforce 60 works

This is an update to a previous post - Yes, I did get the WorkForce 60 to communicate through my WiFi LAN1 and VIA the hardwire LAN2 (with fixed IP's). I just had to manually enter the address in the printer Port setup, then the printer was visible across both networks. I also printed up a bunch of pictures and text files I couldn't print before and the color was fantastic - a little slow on the pictures, but the text was very clear. The pictures came out wonderful. I would recommend this printer for the price.

Printer did not work when received. A replacement was overnighted. Had problems with the replacement which required tech support to finally get it to work. When working it is a good printer as I had a workforce 60 that recently died.

Sporting a smile that nicely complements her new short 'do, the beautiful-in-black actress was clearly enjoying a little down time from shooting the upcoming Les Miserables.
But Hathaway isn't vacationing solo. She also brought her mom along for some fun in the sun.
Not a bad way to get a jump on Mother's Day!

Dorkiness is fun.
Hey! So I'm some sort of mix between focused and determined and wild and passionate (possibly because I was born on the cusp between scorpio and libra, but likely because that's just who I am despite which stars were over my head when I was born). I'm currently a student/social worker who loves life and works hard. I am a post-bac psychology student at Georgia State (my first degree is in English). I just submitted my applications to several Community Psychology Ph.D. programs focusing on violence against women and anti-gay aggression research. I work at a local non-profit domestic violence prevention and intervention agency. I'm bubbly and I love to dance. I try to spontaneous when I can for two reasons: 1. that's just how I am and 2. spontaneity helps me deal with (and really is the only way to have fun) my crazy schedule and the difficult work I do. I love to do everything from snowboarding to rock climbing to hiking to reading poetry and drinking wine with good friends to painting to drawing to writing... and so on. I'm looking for someone to have fun with. I'm looking for someone who goes with the flow and enjoys spontenaity (as in taking an impromptu mountain climbing trip, or just going to random concerts, shows, or karaoke nights).
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Dancing, Martial arts, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Birds, Cats, Other
When I'm able to find free time, I usually spend it with my friends and family (which usually entails passionate conversations revolving around politics, life, or miscellaneously hilarious subjects). I also read a lot of fantasy novels (dorky I know)

ANAHEIM, CA - MARCH 11: Ryan Kesler #17 of the Vancouver Canucks lines up in position prior to a defensive zone face-off against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on March 11, 2009 in Anaheim, California. The Ducks defeated the Canucks 4-3 in overtime. (Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)
Vancouver Canucks center Ryan Kesler's had a struggle of it this season, with 12 goals and 19 assists through 41 games. Last season he had 23 goals at this point, cruising to a career-best 41 tallies after being liberated from his traditional role as the team's primary shutdown center. But Ryan Kesler also has something that other players around the NHL crave when their performance turns underwhelming: The benefit of the doubt. He can slump without consequence where others -- like Roberto Luongo -- have their jobs threatened. His offseason hip surgery is attached to many criticisms as a footnote, as Kesler told the Vancouver Sun that "the first 10 or 15 games I just didn't have it, but I feel my game and skating is back to where it should be at." He's a popular player and fits the ideal of what fans and media want to see from this team: Competitive fire, a drive to succeed and respect from the rest of the NHL's media (if not its players). Witness the back and forth this week with Co...

Ferrari SA Aperta: exclusive first drive
Posted: 19 Apr 2011
Thankfully, any exuberance is easily recouped via massive - and standard fitment - carbon brakes. Brakes called into frantic duty almost immediately, since we cruise at relatively high speed around one corner to find the road covered in pork. Roughly 30 stone of pale pink, floppy-eared, pre-bacon sow waddling down the median like some giant hairy beanbag, dragging her own V12 of nipples along the dusty gutter. Little bullet-shaped piglets ping around in the bushes, and when you look at the hillside, you realise the whole place is infested with piggery of some sort or another.
