I think the iPad Mini is a great idea both as an apple consumer/shareholder , it's all gonna come down to price . That's million dollar question. If an ipod touch 5 is 299-399, and an ipad is 399(ipad 2)-800$ . what price range does this fit into to ? I really have a hard time believing they'll price this less than an ipod touch
Shots of supposed iPad mini display leak
Pictures of what are supposed to be the display of the unannounced iPad mini have surfaced recently. The dimensions measure 162 mm x 124 mm, which works out to the same 4:3 aspect ratio of the full-sized iPad. According to the markings on the rear, LG is apparently the manufacturer of this particular part. The source of the pictures, ETrade Supply, also posted shots of the battery, which line up with what we had seen previously.
Plenty of other rumored parts have shown up over the last few weeks, but there are few meaningful details we can glean about a finished, final product from all of these isolated parts. It's a good thing we won't have to wait long to find out what Apple's been working on. What do you guys think - does this look legit, or is it too early to tell, or even worth trying to guess? What are the odds that we'll see full Retina-grade resolution on the new iPad mini display?

Shots of supposed iPad mini display leak
I agree I see no way this is going to come in less than an iPod touch. They might discontinue the ipad 2 and add this into the $399 spot not sure what sense that would make but still. I guess there is the possibility that it might not even happen, kinda doubt it but its always possible I suppose. How do you price this and market this device, or better yet "cripple" or "hobble" it so that it doesn't canibalize your entire product line? I'm not sure about that but what I am sure about is that there will be a lot of "complaints" or criticisms once this is released. Specs, price, options etc etc.
What if the ipad mini is actually an ipad nano? And it runs the newer ios like OS that the new nano runs? Maybe only does simple web browsing, iBooks, email, and itunesU? Then I could see this device in the $2-300 dollar range and that would make sense. Seriously though who wouldn't gripe and complain about that?
I wander if the new iPad mini is going to have th same manufacturing problems as the iPhone 5. I would not be a good thing for apple to have supply problems with two products in one year.
I've been excited about an iPad Mini ever since I got an Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 is a great product but it doesn't have the build quality or polish of an Apple product. Plus I'm stuck in the Apple ecosystem so I've been looking forward to the thought of an iPad Mini but i keep hearing that its gonna be low cost and cheaply made product. I think Google and ASUS had to make the Nexus 7 low price because they had to bait consumers in but I think Apple is way past that. I think consumers trust in Apple's ability to make a quality product so it doesn't have to be $199. So I don't think Apple needs to build a budget iPad Mini. They should build the best iPad Mini they can because consumers are going to buy it because they want a smaller lighter iPad not an entry level iPad. With that being said, This is an new Apple. Steve Jobs lead Apple would have never changed to screen size of the iPhone without have a reason why it makes it better. So I wouldn't be surprised if we do get an entry level iPad

Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar: A Rural Business Initiative
David E. Bell; Nitin Sanghavi
Price: $6.93
In rural India, farmers historically had limited access to quality input items for both their fields and homes. Indian conglomerate DSCL has undertaken a Rural Business Initiative to address this issue, establishing a chain of retail outlets throughout rural India geared toward farmers and their families. Through its growing network of stores, DSCL is able to establish relationships with farmers and provide them with a host of agricultural services, including improved crop inputs, agronomic support, fuel, banking, and consumer goods. The outlets also buy back some of the farmers' production at harvest time. In utilizing the products and services offered by the stores, farmers are able to improve the quality of their crops and access a network of helpful resources in an environment that was once considered completely tangential to the benefits of agricultural research and technology reaped in other parts of the world. DSCL strategizes about how the company can also benefit from these freshly forged connections with India's rural millions.
Learning objective:
To explore a rural business model in India, and discuss its implications for both agribusiness and retail.

http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news...-cut-the-line/During today's UFC 163 media conference call Lyoto Machida expressed himself about Daniel Cormier potentially cutting in line at 205, and getting a title shot, should be get past Roy Nelson on Aug 3.
I believe that theres a ranking and it should be followed, said 'The Dragon'. "There are a lot of guys in line right now in the weight class to fight for a title. Ive been waiting in line. Theres Glover Teixeira, theres Phil Davis, so theres a lot of guys in there in the mix.
If hes going to move down to 205, hes going to need to put a couple of fights in, or at least have a significant win in a big fight. I dont think its right for him to just come in and cut the line. I think hes going to have to show that he deserves that title shot."

Hawks Softball Celebrate Seniors
- Release Date:

- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – Emili Ripley and Halsey Baker each hit home runs for the Hawks, but Pitt-Greensburg rallied in the top of the seventh inning to take a 15-10 AMCC softball victory over Hilbert College in the opening game on April 22. The Bobcats then went on to score runs in five of the six innings played in the second game to sweep the Hawks 15-4. Kateland Ball finished with two doubles in a five-hit, 2 RBI day for the host team as they dropped to 4-12 in league standings. Greensburg jumped to 11-7 and held onto third place heading into AMCC play-offs.
Hilbert honored their four seniors prior to the start of the game: Halsey Baker, Allison Hall, Jill Martucci and Emili Ripley.
Kateland Ball's 2 RBI doubled to center field started the action for the Hawks during their second at bat. After Amber Grosch reached first base, Ripley homered sending in three more runs. The excitement on the sidelines hadn't settled down yet before Baker earned her third long ball of the season which gave the Hawks a seven hit six-run inning. Ripley's single in the 3rd pushed Ball home giving Hilbert a 8-0 lead after three innings.
Greensburg slowly crawled back into the game. The Bobcats scored two runs in the fourth, four runs in the fifth, one in the sixth but were still trailing the Hawks 10-9 heading into the top of the seventh inning. Greensburg's first and third batter took Devan Jonathan's pitch and sent it over the fence which seemed to deflate the Hawks. The visitors gathered six runs off four hits before they took the field to hold their lead in the bottom of the seventh. The Hawks only went through three batters as the third player hit into a double play to end the game.
Ball finished 4-4 with Ripley (5 RBI) and Natalie Whitman each being credited with going 2-4 at the plate. Devan Jonathan and Ripley shared time in the circle with Jonathan taking the loss while striking out four and giving up nine hits. Greensburg had five different players hit home runs during the game.
The night cap game started with the Bobcats getting on base then stealing their way around the horn. After two innings, Greensburg held a 5-3 lead before each team when scoreless in the third inning. The Bobcats hit back-to-back homeruns over the left center fence in the fourth while Hilbert answered back in the bottom half of the inning when Allison Hall knocked in Katie Pettis. Greensburg then stretched their lead with two runs in the fifth and finished with six runs in the sixth inning. For the game, Greensburg finished with 13 stolen bases.
Hall went 2-3 (1 RBI) and Martucci finished with one hit that send two runners home in the bottom of the second inning. Vicki Ernst pitched 4.1 innings with two strike outs before Jonathan came in to close out the game.
The Hawks finish their 2012 season with a home game April 25 against D'Youville College with the first pitch at 3pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by toryburchfan27 really cute-wish it came in different sizes I love this hat. The quality of the straw looks great (no breakage) and it gives a very sophisticated look for summer. IThe navy is a true navy (not royal blue or semi-black). My only problem was that it was too large and tall for my head (often a problem for me with OSFA hats). Hoping other options that are simlar come out soon, so perhaps one of those will fit better. May 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PCakes Great Fedora Shape I bought this hat a couple of months ago with the orange ribbon. It has a great shape and looks very classy. The first time I wore it was to go shopping for some summer outfits and I got 2 compliments (at the mall). Last week I wore it on vacation in Florida and I got compliments right & left! I was even complimented on the plane coming home, and once I landed, another lady, who was waiting for a flight, came over to compliment my hat. These people who've loved my hat ranged in age from late teens to early 60's; so I would say it's a great addition to anyone's wardrobe. I want to buy another one :-) April 23, 2013

The Expert's View of WHEY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
"The International Olympic Committee Consensus on Sports Nutrition states to support a strength or speed based workout routine athletes require 1.7grams of protein per kg of bodyweight per day. Interestingly research conducted at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada later found that endurance athletes require a greater (or equal) intake of protein than strength athletes to prevent protein catabolism during exercise."
Research: Food, Nutrition and Sports Performance II: The International Olympic Committee Consensus on Sports Nutrition (Ron Maughan et al, 2004).
Q. When should I take Whey Protein Smoothie?
A. It depends on your lifestyle and goals, we recommend following the suggested serving guidelines.
Q. What are main reasons for using a Whey Protein Smoothie?
A. To both help support your elevated nutritional needs as well as aid fat loss and prevent fat storage.
Q. Is Whey Protein Smoothie suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
A. It is suitable for vegetarians but NOT for vegans.
Q. Are all Whey Protein Smoothies the same no matter what brand you use?

The freeze dried blueberry fruit pieces make a great improvement to the flavour when compared to regular whey protein shakes.
I much prefer to have these rather than having normal whey protein shakes and see them as more of a treat / cheat type product, these smoothie powders can also be used to make great protein bars and cookies.
I like to further improve the flavour profile and texture of these by adding in additional products such as PB Luxe Choc Fudge Brownie, Dark Choc Hazelnut Butter and even Super Grains to further improve overall flavour and provide variety to the shakes.
I find this protein smoothie is more filling than the standard whey protein 80 and can be used with great success on a fat loss diet to reduce cravings for sweet foods and aid in helping to lower overall calories therefore allowing for you to have a greater deficit to lose more weight.
Well done TPW these deserve 5/5 and are awesome tasting protein smoothie powders with a superb texture, it would be nice to have more flavours added to the range to provide more selection like you have with your whey protein 80 & 80 SF.

Highly recommended to vary your nutrition intake!
I bought both the Blueberry Cush and Totally Bananas flavour.
Blueberry Crush - 4/5
Totally Bananas - 5/5
They both are great in texture and both have added fruit bits.
The banana is phenomenal, it tastes like an old school protein shake, like someone has blended bananas and milk together, it really is that good.
The Blueberry Crush has a great taste to it also but does taste like another blueberry protein shake that I've had before, maybe a little better.
Both are creamy, what I will say is get the consistency right and your on to a winner, if I had to say this is probably the best and most drinkable protein shake out there, I've definitely found my new consistent protein shake!
5* from me.
Mix with natural/Greek yoghurt and freeze for about an hour and WOW!! Like a tub of Ben and Jerry's only without the guilty feeling you get afterwards...
There's a slight post-drink whey taste, but that's minor. Essentially, this smoothie is better than you expect it to be.
Since the above, I've committed to the Banana smoothie mix, moving up to a 1Kg bag and this is as good as the Blueberry option.
Had 3 today already.
Well, I ordered it late in the evening on Tuesday and it arrived this morning.
The blueberry flavour I mixed with skimmed milk in one of TPW shakers. Very good and tastes natural and the bits of real fruit is great!
I have just had the banana flavour which tastes better than one of the fruit smoothies you would get from a shop! I have finally found a great tasting product that I look forward to drinking and not cringing at the thought instead. Thanks TPW!!
I will definitely be ordering more and having this part of my every day diet.
So glad I could finally find a protein supplement that tastes great!!
tried red berry twist and also blueberry both amazing . Yet to try banana. Very nice product
This one mixes so well and tastes amazing (blueberry) but way better with milk
A recipe I use is mashed banana, 2 egg whites and half a scoop of this and mix it all up and stick it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. It makes a healthy desert that tasted like blueberry muffin!!
Will buy again
I'm a suffer of Crohns and am now a firm believer that you are what you eat and what you put into your body makes a huge difference. I have 2/3 shakes a day and then a small meal in the evening and manage to keep my condition at bay. Protein Works makes it so much easier and bare able for me - thank you, now looking forward to trying out the new diet range of the smoothies with brand new flavours!!
Yet another fab product from The Protein Works - so much choice and never had a bad product or poor service!
A very high quality product - I actually use this as a whey protein shake cause in my opinion it tastes so much nicer that the concentrate/isolate versions due to the thickness!
both mix really well, and yes obviously with milk [semi-skimmed] taste nicer.
flavours are good, banana for the smoothie and choc/coconut powder.
my main gripe is I really hate artificial sweeteners and have to say both have that aftertaste [for a non liker, its really yuck], smoothie being the worse of the two.
so like some others have said, have some mints around for afterwards.
however, I have also noticed that I have had the mother of all headaches that started not soon after starting using them [3 days ago] and for the first day had a feeling of wanting a really good burp!
burping feeling gone now, but headache loitering - i am assuming it is a kickback to the sweetener as i get used to it.
on a separate topic - ordered over weekend but before free shaker offer was advertised - emailed to see if i could get free shaker and got a prompt reply from warehouse [office closed at weekend] saying they would sort it out. And even better, THEY DID!!
delivery was good and within the time slot advised.
so, i will persevere with the after taste - but please TPW if you are reading this, can you look at a reduced/nil sweetener option in the flavoured mixes?

It tasted great as part of a smoothie I make aswell as on it's own. I add flaxseed and oats to it to make a fuller breakfast shake.
I like the fact it has bee pollen in to. I go through jars of it as full of vitamins.
I wouldn't buy this as your sole protein shake but good to add to the daily mix!
Back to the product - it's another epic tasting product that makes the mixture with milk thick like McDonald's shakes! (Though IMO blueberry crush has a slightly better taste)
Btw, I would recommend taking it with 150ml of milk since I tried 190ml and it was quite close to a whey isolate thin shake!

Vermont chestnut stand may hold key to restorationBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | July 28,2014AP PHOTO
College of William and Mary assistant biology professor Harmony Dalgleish, left, and Sara Fitzsimmons, of the American Chestnut Foundation, study an 80-year-old American chestnut tree in Berlin that has mostly escaped the blight that made the species, functionally extinct.BERLIN Tucked out of sight near a well-traveled gravel road are scores of healthy American chestnut trees that could help scientists seeking to restore a species that was nearly wiped out by an invasive fungus.
Most of the trees in Berlin are tiny, some still growing out of the chestnuts that were buried by squirrels or other rodents after they fell from a healthy adult tree estimated to be 80 years old that is almost 3 feet across at the base.
Its one of a handful of locations across the country where scientists are able to study chestnut trees that have grown to maturity and are dropping chestnuts every autumn, with young trees growing from those nuts the normal reproductive route for a healthy species.
Harmony Dalgleish, an assistant biology professor at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, was in Vermont last week with Sara Fitzsimmons, the regional science coordinator for the American Chestnut Foundation, based at Penn State University.
You cant study this kind of thing, and you cant study really big trees and the seed regeneration in Virginia because it just doesnt happen, Dalgleish said.
On Friday, they trekked to Maine, where they are studying another American chestnut stand.
There were once an estimated 4 billion American chestnut trees from Maine to Georgia. The fast-growing, rot-resistant hardwood was valued, both for the nuts and for the lumber from the trees that can grow to forest giants relatively quickly.
After the invasive blight from Asia swept the country around the turn of the 20th century, most of the full-sized trees across the range died. There are still an estimated 425 million trees, but theyre small trees that die before reaching maturity. The new trees sprout from the remains of the old ones, not from the nuts.
We call it functionally extinct, Dalgleish said. Its function is gone. It is no longer a big canopy tree producing seeds.
The American Chestnut Foundation is developing a blight-resistant tree that could be ready for widespread distribution in the next decade or so.
Fitzsimmons and Dalgleish hope to learn how the healthy chestnut trees survive in the forest so they can use that information once the resistant trees are ready for widespread planting.
To have a site like this ... is really going to be great for being able to model what we need to do to get this species back in the forest, Fitzsimmons said.
The Berlin location, just east of Montpelier, was discovered by the Washington County forester. The regional chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation has been monitoring the area since 2006.
The Vermont trees are not immune to the blight. A full-sized tree not far from the healthy tree has been hit by the blight. Another full-sized sick tree was cut down a few years ago.
Fitzsimmons and Dalgleish believe the stand survived because Vermont is at the northern edge of the American chestnuts range.
Its harder for the blight to get here, Fitzsimmons said. The blight doesnt get killed by the cold; it doesnt like it.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Your favorite boundary microphone?
I'm not going to lie, I'm not a drummer, but people on guitar forums don't even know what a boundary mic is, so please, from a drummer's perspective, share with me your experiences on boundary mics.
I've seen a few videos and on at least one occasion I was impressed with the deep and big sound of a BM (also depends on the kit, I know).
The videos I've seen were all about kick drums, so for you, as a kicking drummer, what's the best boundary mic?
I'm looking at the Sennheiser e901 and the Shure Beta 91a. Anything between those two?
Or do you like any other models?
Because BMs are condensors, are there any issues with acoustics? I'm very finicky about bad reverb coming into condensors. Not to mention bleed...

Hi and welcome to the forum!
It's *boundary* - just sayin'... I've corrected it in the thread title.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Thanks. When it comes to spelling, I'm a boundary case.
This thread is kicking off just fine.

Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Boundary or Boundery, I know what you're talking about. Some people just have too much time on their hands, lol. I usually don't use Boundary microphones inside bass drums, but find them useful as desktop discussion microphones. Being close to the table top lessens phase problems that might erupt using standard microphones on short stands.
Between the two microphones that you mention, the Shure Beta 91A has a much higher SPL rating than the Sennheiser. So if I would need a microphone inside the bass drum, that would be my choice. Under extreme pressure inside the bass drum, I'll always go for less distortion over tonal differences. The stated maximum sound pressure for the Sennheiser is only 124 decibels which is easily obtainable in most bass drum applications. In my opinion the e901 just needs a bit more headroom in that type of application. Otherwise I love Sennheiser microphones, 421s, 441s on and on.
BTW, there are a few other Boundary type microphones, but my money would go with the Shure.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Thanks to Arky for the correction.
You're quite right in that 124dB seems a lot, but in confined spaces things can get out of hand pretty bad. I intend to put it in a guitar cabinet with 2x12" 50W speakers.
One purpose of the Shure appears to be the concert piano, so it should also be able to handle the rather more subtle approach as well.
I gravitate towards the Shure as well, allthough it's hard to make a comparison, because there's very little on Youtube on this.
Just for the sake of spelling, in this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxTS8...e_gdata_player it's called a boundry microphone. I like it.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
I re-read your post and I believe that we're on the same page.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Are these different from PZM mics? If not, Crown makes a nice one we use all the time here in the Magic Kingdom. I've even stuck it inside a bass drum once to experiment and it sounded great.
Years ago I tried the Radio Shack PZM and it was surprisingly good for the $50 investment if you wanted to try something cheap ;)
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
My Neumann Tlm 102 condensor has 144dB SPL, but that doesn't mean it likes such high levels. I find myself adjusting the amp output to what the mics seem to like best, with bass drum that isn't possible, clearly.
So I think we're on the same page, but for me SPL isn't really a factor. I use my mics at a recording level, not at a gigging level.
It appears that I can rent the Shure. That's going to be interesting! I'll let know how it pans out.
Exactly! PZM = boundary mic.
If I'm correct the Crowns are conference microphones, but many mics get used for things they weren't designed for, so that's allright. I'd rather have the Shure for $50, though.
How come you are in the Magic Kingdom? You look like an alien from heaven.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
I own both a Shure Beta 91a and a Sennheiser e901, and have been using both for at least six years as a bass drum mic.
There is no problem whatsoever using an e901 inside a bass drum, that's what it was designed to do. It doesn't come anywhere near 'bottoming out' the diaphragm. Yes, the Shure has a higher rating, but its either a peak SPL reading and the Sennheiser is an average SPL reading or something. Or one of them is lying about the specs, or exaggerating them ( wouldn't be the first time )These two mics are practically identical in sound....
They both sound good in bass drums but a good 'ol Beta 52 has a lot more bottom end punch. The Beta91 has a contour switch between flat and what sounds like a mid scoop with both a low end and high end boost. I prefer it flat.
In my experience, both the e901 and Beta 91 require more gain than their counterpart 'normal' or more common bass drum mics...421, Beta 52, D112, etc.
Both mics are half-cardiod condensers with integrated preamps. The older Beta 91 (no 'A') has the preamp in the barrel of a separate XLR connector with the other end being a TA3 connector -> cable > TA3 connector on the mic. That old design was a real pain in the ass. You only want the 91A.
I am a huge Sennheiser fan and have many, many of their mics. But lately I only use the Shure 91a or the Beta52. Why? The Sennheiser is shaped weird -see how the front flares out like a clam shell ? That will not fit if you have a 4" Holz in your bass drum reso...you need a 5" or bigger for it to fit in the drum.
TBH, the Beta 52 inside the drum just sitting on a small piece of foam sounds better than any boundary mic I've tried. It does sound better again on a stand but as I've ranted before - ANY bass drum mic stand is not an option on most stages I play. They get knocked out of place within seconds. Close quarters.
If not for stand and space limitations, I would use my hands down, all time, every time , favourite bass drum mic : a Sennheiser MD421.
It also happens to have the worst mic clip ever invented, guaranteed to fail at the most inappropriate moment :) hint: use an elastic band.
Unlike the Beta52, a 421 doesn't sound good lying on its side inside the drum.
Sorry for the book, good luck.

Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
A sound engineer friend of mine who owns and rents PA systems is miking his bass drum on stage with AKG C 547 BL. He says that he tried everything and this one is by far the best on stage. Nice punch, no overtone boom, just clear bass drum sound. I think he's even mounting it on a Kelly Shu.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
To be honest, the owl isn't me either.
Thanks for the book, you sound like you know what you're talking about. I find the D112 a terribly amusing microphone. To me it epitomizes the "dynamic" sound.
For me the question about boundary mics is, can they capture the acoustics of a small space in a clean way, without the reverb issues you'd get with a normal condensor.
I heard some samples on Youtube and the Shure sounded a lot better in a big kit (I think it was Tama). On a more tight kit I wouldn't expect any benifit from a BM. But now I'm getting waayy into your territory. The knowledge I have (or don't, rather) of drums is from Superior Drummer.....
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Paddles...clear! Zap! Flat line _________________________
No amount of EQ and dynamic processing could save it for me.
I'm not holding my breath for a miracle but I just saw that AKG have re-introduced the 'orignal' D12. Might be interesting.
I really should point out though...I think maybe you are making more of the "reverb problem" with condensers than is due. Many many thousands of recordings have been made with said microphones with great results.
If the acoustics of your room are terrible, try to tame that a bit. You can get great results with cheap stuff like packing blankets, adding area carpet, or adding large objects with mass. Don't overdo the room deadening though - some reflections are good too.
If your room is reasonable - the small amount of leakage/ spill from the room into a kick drum mic is not a problem and is a very small proportion of the sound. Try not to get carried away with listening to mics in isolation either...remember, the 'big picture' is all that really matters....everything up. There are several 'old fashioned' engineers who believe the worst invention on a mixing desk was the 'solo' button.
Maybe I'm not understanding your use/needs tough...
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
If it's any consolation to you, Neal, I use the D112 backwards...literally. With the turqoise band facing the speaker it does the same thing as my Neumann, but in a much scrappier way. The other way around it rejects much of the low, resulting in a much cleaner, though heavily colored (which I like) mids and highs oriented picture. Maybe it's all nonsense, but right now it's working for me. It's certainly the only mic I have that can operate backwards.
It seems to me that even if the acoustics are fine, natural reverb introduces a dirty sound element. Faced with horrible acoustics I've become a puritan with regard to a clean, that is, reverbless sound. The way I work now the "dead" acoustics produce the cleanest sound, which is a good starting point to muck around with from there on.
With drums I can see it's different. Not every kit is a hip hop kit, I'm probably talking outside of a drummer's jargon.
I don't know if you can make a kit sound big in a dead room with digital reverb in the DAW.
Re: Your favorite boundary microphone?
Dead acoustics is definitely a viable and valid production choice...depending on the music of course.
You can make a dead kit sound bigger/very different with the use of digital reverbs...although modern techniques are more about overheads and room mics....but that requires a good room.

The Fingerprints of Giants: Selections from the Haverford College Fine Art Photography Collection
February 25 to April 26, 2013
Curated by Vita Litvak, Visiting Assistant Professor of Fine Arts
The Haverford College Fine Art Photography Collection, which has recently grown to over 5,000 prints, is encyclopedic in its scope and a highly valuable resource to both students of photography and the community at large. On the shelves of the Special Collections are gathered the likes of Eugene Atget, Edward Sheriff Curtis, Alfred Stieglitz, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Edward Weston, Roy De Carava, William Klein, and Diane Arbus, to name just a few. These men and women are the giants who shaped and defined the photographic medium over the past 175 years. The importance of viewing their original photographic prints cannot be underestimated. Only in the presence of these works can we begin to understand the subtleties of these photographers' decision-making processes and the deep richness and visual delights of the photographic medium.
The exhibition on view in the Alcove Gallery highlights the works of the masters of photography and examines several distinct ways of seeing that emerged in 20th century photography. The exhibit also functions as a research aide for students in the Foundation Photography Classes at Haverford College.
The Fine Art Photography Collection has been supported through generous gifts from friends of Haverford College and the thoughtful curatorial work of William Earl Williams, the Audrey A. and John L. Dusseau Professor of Humanities, Professor of Fine Arts and Curator of Photography.

Frankfurt Hydrology Paper
- 09
- Global estimation of monthly irrigated and rainfed crop areas on a 5 arc-minute grid (2011)
- Agriculture of crops provides more than 85% of the energy in human diet, while also securing income of more than 2.6 billion people. To investigate past, present and future changes in the domain of food security, water resources and water use, nutrient cycles, and land management it is required to know the agricultural land use, in particular which crop grows where and when. The current global land use or land cover data sets are based on remote sensing and agricultural census statistics. In general, these only contain one or very few classes of agricultural land use. When crop-specific areas are given, no distinction of irrigated and rainfed areas is made, whereas it is necessary to distinguish rainfed and irrigated crops, because crop productivity and water use differ significantly between them. To support global-scale assessments that are sensitive to agricultural land use, the global data set of Monthly Irrigated and Rainfed Crop Areas around the year 2000 (MIRCA2000) was developed by the author. With a spatial resolution of 5 arc-minutes (approximately 9.2 km at the equator), MIRCA2000 provides for the first time, spatially explicit irrigated and rainfed crop areas separately for each of the 26 crop classes for each month of the year, and includes multi-cropping. The data set covers all major food crops as well as cotton, while the remaining crops are grouped into three categories (perennial, annual and fodder grasses). Also for the first time, crop calendars on national or sub-national level were consistently linked to annual values of harvested area at the 5 arc-minutes grid cell level, such that monthly growing areas could be computed that are representative for the time period 1998 to 2002. The downscaling algorithm maximizes the consistency to the grid-based input data of cropland extent [Ramankutty et al., 2008], crop-specific total annual harvested area [Monfreda et al., 2008], and area equipped for irrigation [Siebert et al., 2007]. In addition to the methodology, this dissertation describes differences to other datasets and standard scaling methods, as well as some applications. For quality assessment independent datasets and newly developed quality parameters are used, and scale effects are discussed. Supplementary Appendices document crop calendars for irrigated and rainfed crops for each of the 402 spatial units (Appendix I), data sources of harvested area and of cropping periods for irrigated crops, country by country (Appendix K), as well as data quality parameters (Appendix L, including spreadsheet files).

Dr. Nancy O'Hara will be speaking on Sunday. Dr. O'Hara is one of the best speakers on biomedical intervention for children. Her comprehensive lecture "Autism from A Zinc" explains in detail many of the different biomedical problems that children with autism can have and how treating these underlying issues can often resolve many of the problems they face.
"Raising Temple Grandin" author, Eustacia Culter, who raised her daughter Temple Grandin in the 1950's will speak on Saturday about her experience and what she has learned in her journey to help her daughter succeed in the world. Temple Grandin is a Doctor of Animal Science at Colorado State University and a bestselling author who has made her life with Autism a strength instead of a weakness. In large part, Temple Grandin has been able to do this because of the relentless efforts of her mother, Eustacia, who saw her uniqueness as a gift and channeled it so that Temple could become a successful high-functioning adult with autism. I heard Temple speak last year and her mother really did a phenomenol job raising her to be the person she is today.
Other conference highlights include:
• James Adams, Ph.d. speaking about Nutritional Problems in Children with Autism: Assessment and Treatment
• Geri Brewster, a nutritionist who has spend 20 years helping children and adults use nutrition to tap into their own innate ability to heal. (Geri Brewster is actually Our Gluten Free Family's nutritionist after an extensive--and expensive--search of all nutritionists in the tri state area.)
• Christina Peck, who worked in medical billing and wrote the book "Blessed with Autism" will speak about the innovative ways she discovered to receive reimbursement for therapies.

O2 to offer Angry Birds iPhone 4 cases
O2 is currently advertising on their UK website that they'll have Angry Birds cases for Apple's iPhone 4. Slated to become available for order sometime this month, they'll be offering three different cases featuring the faces of those flying, pissed-off little birds that we've come to love so much.
Angry Birds has seen a lot of success lately -- they're currently topping the favorite addictive iPhone/iPad game in the 2010 TiPb Awards voting -- and for good reason. Apple also recently included Angry Birds in their new App Store Hall of Fame. Heck, even my 3 year old daughter has formed an addiction to this game! We're guessing O2 won't have any trouble getting these off their hands, as they'd make a great holiday gift.
Any UK readers out there planning on ordering one of these cases for their iPhone 4? Any US iPhone owners wish AT&T would offer them as well?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

O2 to offer Angry Birds iPhone 4 cases
I'd rock one!
I'd probably order one if I could buy it right now, as it stands they've shot their publicity wad and when the sales open, there'll be no buzz to remind me.
I've not seen the black one anywhere, does it even exist. Found the ones above here with free postage - http://getheapp.com/buy-angry-birds-iphone-ipad-cases-online/
Hey this is a good looking website, is wordpress? Forgive me for the foolish question but if so, what theme is? Thanks!
I have to say that for the past couple of hours i have been hooked by the impressive posts on this site. Keep up the good work.
It's the first time when i've seen your site. I can gather lots of hard work has gone in to it. It's actually wonderful.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The world turned its back on the Jews of Europe during the Nazi Holocaust. Many of those who miraculously survived became a part of a reborn Jewish state. But the ghosts of their horrific past linger, and far too many are living out their last days in poverty and loneliness.
Israel Today is proud to be among those providing physical aid, as well as emotional and spiritual comfort, to Israel's Holocaust survivors.
But, we need your help!
How special it is to inform these precious souls that it is thanks to the kind donations of Christians that we are able to provide aid and comfort, when so many of them have been left scarred by their treatment at the hands of supposedly "Christian" nations.
We'll supply a Holocaust survivor with several gift coupons that can be cashed in a number of Israeli supermarkets.
Next month, The Pope's Jews hits book stores. In this historical account, author Gordon Thomas attempts to clarify the role played by Pope Pius XII, known as "Hitler's Pope," during the Second World War regarding Europe's Jewish population. Based on previously unpublished Vatican documents and first-hand accounts provided by Holocaust victims and wartime priests, the book reveals the existence of a secret operation personally overseen by the Pope to shelter Jews across Nazi Europe.
According to Thomas, a Protestant, Pius XII allowed the establishment of safe houses in a number of convents and monasteries and blessed the fabrication of fake documents identifying thousands of Jews as Catholics. Under him, the Vatican instructed priests to issue hundreds of baptism certificates for Jews hidden in Genoa, Rome and other parts of Italy, where racial laws were first implemented by dictator Benito Mussolini in 1938. Another 4,000 Jews were hidden in Vatican-owned buildings across Italy and a priest was put in charge of extensive funds to provide them with food, clothing and medicine.
Many of those who survived the Nazi death camps could not return home, and one of the only guaranteed safe places for them was the Land of Israel, committed to bring all Jews back to their homeland. But the ghosts of their horrific past linger, and far too many are living out their last days in poverty and loneliness.
Israel Today is proud to help work to improve the lives of these blessed souls. But, we need your help!
Help be a supportive part of the lives of these impoverished survivors and show them the true meaning of Christian charity and kindness.
Help us supply a Holocaust survivor with several gift coupons that can be cashed in a number of Israeli supermarkets by clicking here, and be a blessing to a survivor in need.

Complete Final Results in PDF Format
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Cal State Northridge continued its domination of the Big West Track & Field Championships as the Matador women won their fifth consecutive title while the Northridge men nailed down their second straight.
The championships were held at the Matador Track Complex where the women's squad won their fourth consecutive championship while the men won their second Big West title on the home track.
The Matador women scored 114 points on Saturday and needed every one of them to hold off UC Santa Barbara as the team championship came down to the final event, the 4x400 relay. Leading the Gauchos by one point (183-182), the Northridge relay team of Jasmine Cox, Desirae Gonder, Brenna Hoffman and Jackie Harrison ran 3:41.52 to hold off UC Davis (3:42.58) and UCSB (3:43.59) and clinch the Matadors' fifth straight conference championship. The Northridge women match Utah State for the most championships in Big West history with seven total.
Third belonged to UC Davis with 113 points, while Cal State Fullerton finished the top half of the standings with 97 points. Fifth place was UC Riverside with 71 points, with Cal Poly coming in sixth with 60 points. Long Beach State (53) and UC Irvine (43) completed the women's standings.
The Matador men won their second straight Big West Championship and fifth in the last seven years by easily out-distancing second-place Long Beach State by 28 points. Northridge's 173 points is the second-most ever by a Matador men's squad behind last season's 176.5. Cal Poly finished in third with 134 points, while UC Santa Barbara had 132.5 point for fourth. Fifth place was UC Davis with 91 points, while sixth place was UC Irvine with 58.5 points. UC Riverside (43) and Cal State Fullerton (42) wrapped up the 2010 men's meet.
"There were just a lot of people that stepped up across the board," said Director of Track & Field Don Strametz. "I'm very proud of both teams."
The final day of the championships opened with the women's discus and Claire Morgan found the leaderboard finishing in fifth place after posting a career-best 157-0 (47.85). Morgan earned four points for the Matador women while Whitney Hooks narrowly missed scoring as she placed ninth but posting a lifetime-best 141-8 (43.17).
Northridge also added four points in the women's triple jump as Ese Ntekume eclipsed her previous career-best with a distance of 39-10 (12.14). Ntekume's fifth place finish was the best for the Matadors as Stella Dugall was 10th with a best of 38-7 (11.76).
The Matador men scored well in the shot put as Derek Cooper claimed his first Big West championship in the event with a mark of 58-7.50 (17.87). Cooper now has a 2010 shot put championship to go with his discus titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Alex Butler, who won the shot put in 2008, finished fourth with a best of 55-2 (16.81). Between Cooper and Butler, the Matadors added 15 points to the men's team tally.
With the attention shifting to the track, the Matadors swept the 4x100 meter relay finals with the both the men's and the women's squads taking first place in the event. Precious Watkins, Shelese Ruffin, Sierra Brooks and Gonder claimed the women's title in a season-best time of 45.35, while Ben Santos, David Reid, Bradley Ike and Reindell Cole brought home first prize in the men's event in a time of 39.86.
The 4x100 relay title is the fifth straight for the Northridge women and second straight and fourth in the last five years for the Matador men.
The Northridge women picked up eight more points in the 100 meter hurdles, as LaShandra Batiste finished fourth in a career-best 14.14 and Desirae Gonder finished sixth in 14.27.
CSUN continued its success in the men's 110 meter hurdles. Michael Woodham placed second in 14.62 and Lance Gonzalez finished sixth in 14.88 to earn 11 points for the Northridge men.
Ruffin finished in a lifetime-best 52.82 and Jackie Harrison finished in a season-best 55.44 to place second and third, respectively, in the women's 400 meter dash, contributing 14 points to the Northridge effort in the process.
The Northridge men dominated the 100 meter dash as Bradley Ike, Cole and David Reid finished first, second and fourth, respectively, to earn 23 points for CSUN. Ike made it back-to-back championships for Northridge finishing first in 10.52, while Cole was second in 10.54 and Reid was forth in 10.64. Ike's championship was his first Big West triumph and follows up DeShawn Waters' championship in 2009.
Precious Watkins made it seven straight 100 meter championships for the Matador women as she finished first in a time of 11.91. Brooks placed third in a time of 12.08 to pick up another 16 points for CSUN. The last time the Matadors did not win a 100 meter dash at the Big West Championship was 2003.
Northridge had another strong showing in the women's 400 meter hurdles. Batiste finished second in a career-best 60.76, Vanice Colbert finished third in 61.76 and Brenna Hoffman finished seventh in a lifetime-best 63.78 to add another 16 points for the Matadors' tally
Gonder, who contributed 29 points by herself at the championships in addition to running on both relay teams, gained another six points for Northridge in the women's high jump. Gonder's best jump of 5-10.75 (1.80) was a season-best and was good enough for third place in the event.
In the men's pole vault, Anthony Orozco had his best meet of the season as he cleared a lifetime-best height of 16-2 (4.93) to finish in third place, picking up four points for CSUN.
Whitney Hooks finished fourth after a best of 44-5.25 (13.54) and Morgan Bogard finished sixth after a best of 41-8.75 (12.72) to pick up a total of eight points in the women's shot put final.
Cooper capped another impressive championship meet as the senior from Las Vegas, Nev., added more hardware to his collection by winning the men's discus. Cooper's mark of 180-6 (55.02) easily out-distanced Long Beach State Cesar Puga who threw 172-4 (52.54). The win gave Cooper an unprecedented three consecutive Big West discus titles.
The men's 200 meter dash saw the Mataors take four of the top eight spots. Reid placed first in what was a season-best 21.10, Cole finished second in a career-best 21.23 and Nic Taylor finished sixth in 22.24. Ike, coming back from an injury suffered at the end of the 100 meters, finished eighth in 29.70 to earn a total of 22 points for CSUN.
The women also had a strong showing in the 200 meters. Gonder continued to pile up points placing third in a time of 24.43, Watkins finished fourth in 24.47, Brooks finished sixth in 24.52 and Ruffin finished eighth in 24.94. The Northtridge women totaled 15 points in the event.
Ntekume earned four more points for the Matadors in the women's triple jump. Ntekume's best of 39-10.00 (12.14) was a career-best and good enough for a fifth place finish.
Awet Hagos and Eric Fremd earned seven points for their efforts in the men's triple jump. Hagos finished fourth following a career-best of 49-3 (15.01) while Fremd's best of 47-10.5 (14.59) was also a lifetime-best and good enough for seventh place.
In the second-to-last event of the meet, Lilyanna Morejon picked up two crucial points for Northridge in the women's 5000 meter run. Morejon placed seventh in a time of 17:11.45.
