Discover the industry secrets to recording crisp, rich instrument tracks and vocals in any type of recording environment. Join renowned audio engineer Bobby Owsinski as he walks through the process of miking and tracking a complete song by Underground Sun recording artist Iyeoka and A-list session musicians in a top-of-the-line studio—in a way that is applicable to any recording space and musical genre. Learn how to select the correct microphone and polar pattern for each instrument, with hundreds of revealing listening examples for drums, acoustic and electric guitar, piano, keyboards, and more. These professional techniques offer critical insights for those just getting started in the recording process, and a trustworthy reference guide for more seasoned engineers. Bobby also demonstrates how to monitor and sculpt EQ settings, why and when to process your input signal, and how to choose the right outboard gear for the track. This course employs 360-degree, 3D visualizations that provide an unprecedented perspective of the equipment, players, and microphone placements discussed. Plus, with the raw audio files provided, you can critically listen to every recorded example at home with your DAW of choice at full 24-bit resolution.
Perhaps the greatest detriment to a session running smoothly is the inability for players to hear themselves comfortably in the headphones. That's why the headphone mix is so important, and that's what we'll look at in this video. Musicians and singers can't perform at their best unless they hear themselves well, and this is one of the reasons that veteran engineers spend so much time and attention to the CueMix and headphones themselves. While it's true that a veteran studio player can shrug off a bad or distortive foam mix and still deliver a fine performance, good cans can make a session go a lot faster and easier.
First of all, make sure that you use the best headphones possible and that they're not broken or intermittent. Nothing stops a session quicker than a player with a headphone problem. Your headphone or CueMix is going to be derived from the AUX-ins on your console or computer interface. Connect the AUX outputs to the input of the headphone amp or personal mix boxes. If you're giving all the players the same mix, try to make it as close to the same mix that you're listening to, then adjust from there after they listen to it. male speaker: Okay, everything good? Drummer: Yes! male speaker: Phones okay? Well, good. Let's go for it.
Bobby Owsinski: If you're providing separate mixes, remember that some players don't want a balanced mix. They may want either the kick, snare, bass, a keyboard, or a vocal a lot louder than the rest of the mix to cue off of. Perhaps the best thing to come along in recent years has been the introduction of the relatively inexpensive personal CueMix systems. These systems allow the musician to control the headphone mix by supplying them with up to 8 channels to control. Many personal mixers don't require you to set up a mix for the player, just to supply him with the individual track sense.
Even though that's the case, it's best to provide a Stereo Monitor Mix, which is what you're listening to in the control room, as well as the kick, snare, vocal, and whatever other instruments are pertinent so that player can mix it to the way he feels comfortable. The Stereo Mix that you provide acts as the main mix, and the other tracks enable him to boost that element as needed. Select the tracks that the musicians want for their headphone mix. This might be the kick, snare, bass, vocal, guitars, keyboards, and sometimes the Stereo Mix that you're listening to in the control room.
Connect each direct output to the input of the distribution system. Then have all the players run down the song so they can adjust their own mixes. That's how to set up a headphone mix in most situations. Make sure to use the best headphones possible and make sure that they're working correctly. Then spend the time to give the musicians the best mix that you can and adjust accordingly.

Finally the trade went down sending Darrell Revis down south.
Sunday ESPN reported the New York Jets traded Pro-Bowl cornerback Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
BREAKING: ESPN reports: Jets & Bucs agree on deal sending All-Pro CB Darrelle Revis to TB; includes 13th overall pick. Deal pends physical.— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) April 21, 2013
This is a very good acquisition for the Bucs. In return for All Pro cornerback Darelle Revis, they traded to the Jets, a 2013 first round pick (13th overall) and a 2014 third round pick.
Revis was drafted in the first round (14th overall) by the Jets in the 2007 NFL Draft and has since become an incredible corner and when healthy, Revis is easily the best in the NFL. His side of the field is nicknamed "Revis Island," as rarely anyone can make a play against him.
The Jets received solid compensation for their superstar corner, but did they really have to trade him? Well that's up to Woody Johnson, but hopefully for the Jets, they put the pick to use and find 2 legitimate pieces with the 9th and 13th picks in the draft.
Revis is a great acquisition for Tampa, a young team who desperately needed an upgrade at cornerback and along with Dashon Goldson, Mark Barron and Eric Wright, they now have one of the top secondaries in the NFL.
Revis can help them reach the next level and the Bucs now can compete with the elite passing teams in their division. The Bucs have given him a 6 year contract worth 96 million dollars, with no money guaranteed, other than his base salary for next season and now have the best player at his position locked up for the considerable future.
This was an easy trade for them to make and despite his recovery from ACL surgery, Revis was worth far more. This was an excellent move for the Bucs and their new management team. The Bucs now have a fearsome defense and if Josh Freeman improves, they have a real shot at making the playoffs next season.

The innovative use of lightweight composite materials, shown here in the "Numerette," a 29-foot speedboat designed and built by Joachim Grenestedt, professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics…
Lehigh will share $70 million in federal, state and private funding as part of a new Ohio-Pennsylvania-West Virginia "Tech Belt Consortium" initiative to revitalize American manufacturing through additive manufacturing technology, advanced innovation and a workforce capable of meeting industry needs.
The new consortium, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII), includes research universities, community colleges and non-profit organizations from three states, along with private manufacturing firms nationwide. It will link academia with private industry, particularly small manufacturers, to provide direct access to the latest research and equipment while educating workers in advanced additive manufacturing skills.
Selected through a competitive process, the award of $30 million in federal funding (from the Departments of Defense, Energy and Commerce, the National Science Foundation and NASA) will be matched by $40 million from the winning consortium. It is the first of 15 planned technical hubs spread around the nation with the aim of reasserting the nation's historical position as the world's most innovative producer.
The official announcement was made Aug. 16 in Youngstown, Ohio, by Rebecca Blank, acting U.S. Commerce Secretary. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett also announced $5 million in state funding.The digital edge
Additive manufacturing, of which so-called 3-D printing is an example, is a new method of making products and components from digital models by combining thin layers of metal, ceramic or other materials into complex shapes and parts.
Contrasted with traditional methods of making parts by cutting material away from stock or forming individual components in expensive molds, additive manufacturing has implications for a wide range of industrial and consumer products.
The Department of Defense sees additive manufacturing as a way to create on-site, customized parts that would otherwise be too expensive to make or ship.
"Additive manufacturing is an important new way of making things that we use in our everyday lives," said Alan W. Snyder, vice president and associate provost for research and graduate studies. "In addition to major impacts on how things are made, we look forward to revolutionary changes in what can be made. We are gratified that our depth in materials science, structural engineering and composites, manufacturing systems, and supply chain management can contribute to this program, and we look forward to the broader range of contributions we can make as the field grows and matures."Leaner and greener
The technology also has the potential to eliminate tooling costs and reduce material waste. The Department of Energy anticipates that additive processes will cut manufacturing energy use in half compared to today's processes, in which components are built individually and assembled.NAMII is led by the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining and includes 40 private companies (like Honeywell, Boeing and IBM), nine research universities including Lehigh, four community colleges including Northampton Community College (NCC), and 11 trade associations and other nonprofit organizations. NCC will contribute manufacturing prototype facilities and labs, and provide workforce training.
"We are proud to be among the many talented organizations tasked with contributing to a renaissance in American manufacturing," said William Michalerya, associate vice president for government relations and economic development. "Our participation in the Tech Belt Consortium is a recognition of the talent of our faculty and student researchers and of Lehigh's reputation among the region's public and private entities as a willing and effective partner."
A diverse team of Lehigh researchers, initially from the departments of materials science and engineering, civil and environmental engineering, industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering and mechanics, will contribute their expertise in a number of areas:
• Supply chain optimization that can shorten lead times in small and large jobs and speed the commercialization of products.• New composite materials that are lightweight, but strong and corrosion-resistant, for the construction of large complex structures with only a few parts like aircraft wings, boat hulls, and decks.• Advanced materials fabrication to make fabricated parts that are more reliable. Recent experimental breakthroughs at Lehigh in "grain boundaries" have led to a greater understanding of material strength, toughness and oxidation resistance.• Manufacturing process efficiency to optimize the factory floor, including layout, line balancing, planning of workloads and process simulation to increase throughput and reliability.• Laser solid forming that can be used to build complex 3-D metallic parts directly from computer models. The Lehigh team will develop new simulation capabilities from improved and more efficient laser forming with multiple laser heat sources.
The Tech Belt Consortium
Forty companies: Allegheny Technologies, AlphaMicron, Applied Systems and Technology Transfer, Autodesk, Boeing, Catalyst Connection, Energy Industries of Ohio, ExOne, FMW Composites, General Dynamics, General Electric, Honeywell, IBM, Johnson Controls, Kennametal, Kent Displays, Laser Technology Assts, Lockheed Martin, Lubrizol, M-7 Technologies, MicroFab Technologies, Morris, Northrop Grumman, nScrypt, OSRAM Sylvania, Optomec, Oxford Performance Materials, Paramount Industries / 3D Systems, Parker Hannifin, Plextronix, POM, RTI, Ruger, Sciaky, Stratasys, Stratonics, Timken, Touchstone Research Lab, Westinghouse Nuclear, Wohlers Associates
Nine research universities: Carnegie Mellon, Case Western Reserve, Kent State, Lehigh, Penn State, Robert Morris, Akron, Pittsburgh and Youngstown State
Five community colleges: Eastern Gateway, Lorain County, Northampton and Westmoreland County, and Penn College of Technology
Eleven nonprofit organizations: Association for Manufacturing Technology, Ben Franklin Technology Partners, JumpStart Ohio, Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network, MT Connect, NorTech, National Digital Engineering and Manufacturing Consortium, Ohio Aerospace Institute, Robert C. Byrd Institute, the Youngstown Business Incubator, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers
Story by Jordan Reese
Posted on Friday, August 24, 2012
…and the unprecedented insights gained by Martin Harmer, professor of materials science and engineering, into the influence of grain boundaries on material properties, are two of the areas in which Lehigh researchers will contribute expertise to the Tech Belt Consortium.

Snow {Finer Things Friday}
Posted By Amy On December 21, 2012 @ 9:43 am In Finer Things,Finer Things Friday | 6 Comments
It wasn't much in my eyes.
The snow we received the other night didn't even blanket the dead grass. It wouldn't touch our drought conditions, and there certainly wasn't enough for snow ice cream or even a day off of school.
"Look how deep it is!" she squealed on her way downstairs to dig for snow boots. Trampling through the white, she was ready for school in record time, certain to leave tracks in the yard before taking off for the day.
At noon, my husband came in the door grinning with a story. He had seen her at lunch a few minutes earlier. After she left for recess, her teacher approached. "Did you notice what she's wearing?" After momentary panic (No, he didn't notice, and what? and why?) she explained that our little firecracker arrived at school soaking wet and shivering. Her clothes are in the dryer.
Apparently, the excitement was too much. In the one block walk from our house to school, she couldn't resist. She rolled in the snow. She made snow angels. She arrived cold, wet, and glowing from the excitement of it all.
Oh, that child.
What Finer Things are you celebrating this week? Link up and let us know!

|Adding new resolutions to tidmaivideosink plugin for video playback
|Posted By: hari gs
Join Date: 2009-10-13
Location: SINGAPORE
Hi all,
I would like to add new resolutions for video playback in tidmaivideosink gstreamer plugin.
(For ex. SVGA �(800X600),��WVGA (1024X768),��XGA (1024X768),�SXGA (1280X1024),��WXGA (1280X768)).
I thought configuring as "AUTO" would do the job, but I am unsuccessful with. For it I first configure /dev/fb1 plane to the required resolution (say SVGA with 16bpp). Then start gstreamer application with "AUTO". But I am unable to see any video.
I am seeing the following errors.
" TIDmaiVideoSink gsttidmaivideosink.c:805:gst_tidmaivideosink_videostd_get_attrs:^[[00m Unknown videoStd entered (VideoSt
ERROR �^[[00m ^[[00m � � TIDmaiVideoSink gsttidmaivideosink.c:1296:gst_tidmaivideosink_set_display_attrs:^[[00m Error getting videostd attrs ret

I did changes to tidmaivideosink plugin, but its not helping. Kindly�
I also tried added new resolutions by making modifications to tigstreamer, but I am becoming�skeptical�about my changes, as I am not clear whether the changes must also be carried out ouside DMAI (kernel drivers)
Kindly provide me with suggestions.
Thanks and Regards,

Mobile's on the Way Toward Trillion-Dollar Benchmark
The mobile voice and data business worldwide is on target to pass the $1 trillion mark by 2014, according to research company Gartner Inc. Companies that want to share in that payday should develop high-level mobile strategies based on technology-independent management goals, Gartner said, and not waste time on detailed device, platform or application policies.
Traditional mobile strategies were designed to support well-defined requirements through devices, applications and services provided and managed by IT professionals. By 2015, those requirements will not constitute the majority of corporate mobility, because of changes in user requirements, technology and the nature of the work itself.
But data and voice revenue is not the whole mobile enchilada. Mobile will generate revenue from a wide range of additional services, such as context, advertising, applications and service sales among others, Gartner said. And each of these will be a significant business in its own right, worth tens of billions of dollars per year.
"We see three major eras of mobility," said Gartner vice president Nick Jones. "The device era was characterized by iconic devices such as the Motorola RAZR and was dominated by device manufacturers. This was followed by the application era, which arrived with the iPhone, popularizing application and media stores. Going forward, the service and social era will build on the application era, but it will be characterized by cloud services and streaming media. Applications will survive, but often as a component of a more complex end-to-end experience involving the cloud."
In mature markets such as the United States, smartphones will dominate device sales for the foreseeable future, at the expense of feature phones without an identifiable operating system, Gartner predicted. Many new device types, such as tablets and e-book readers, will emerge through 2012 and find some role in corporations, but none will achieve a market share comparable to smartphones or laptops, which will continue their hegemony in the corporate world.
Gartner, based in Stamford, Conn., predicts that context will be a defining principle of mobile business for the next decade. It will play a key role in many areas of mobile business, especially advertising and marketing.

Covington & Burling Hires Former Obama Appointee for D.C. Office
Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Covington & Burling LLP, an 800-lawyer international firm, has hired former state department official Arturo Valenzuela to increase the firm's presence in Latin America.
Valenzuela, appointed by President Barack Obama as assistant secretary of state for Western hemisphere affairs, will be a senior adviser in the firm's Washington office, Covington & Burling said in a statement today.
Valenzuela served in the Obama administration from November 2009 until August 2011. He teaches government at Georgetown University and has experience advising Fortune 500 companies that have presences in Latin America. He served during both of Bill Clinton's presidential terms, where he was responsible for implementing U.S. foreign policy for Mexico, Covington & Burling said.
Valenzuela will help clients "with their critical legal, strategic and policy matters in Latin America, and on working with companies in Latin America that have aspirations for expanding their businesses," Timothy Hester, chair of the Washington-based firm's management committee, said in a statement.
Some recent Covington & Burling work in South America include GlaxoSmithKline PLC's acquisition of Laboratorios Phoenix SA in Argentina and Citigroup Inc.'s Chilean operation's merger with Banco de Chile.

Understanding Hotel Star Ratings
by: November 3rd, 2013
A five-star hotel may sound like the best a city has to offer, but star ratings can be misleading, especially when some of the biggest names in hotels don't even feature on the list.
AAA Tourism is well-known for its star ratings system. However, hotels pay to be part of the scheme and, as there is no obligation to be reviewed under the system, anyone searching for a hotel in Sydney using the AAA Guide will pass over options such as the Hilton and the Four Seasons.
Star ratings are awarded according to the facilities available at a hotel. Amenities such as a full length mirror can therefore boost a hotel's rating, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
The Forbes Travel Guide takes a more comprehensive approach to hotel rating, covering 500 elements as part of its overall assessment. This method of grading hotels means that just seven hotels in London have achieved five star ratings with Forbes, and seven in New York.

'Tis better to give than receive, and although Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) got 2 million Facebook "Likes" after starting a page in October, he still gave back. The Vampire Diaries posted a photo on his page, thanking his followers for all their support.
If you haven't yet jumped on Ian's Facebook bandwagon, head over to his page. While you're at it, check on Nina Dobrev's (Elena Gilbert) official page.
Unfortunately, it looks like Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) hasn't yet gotten his own Facebook. We have hope, though. Remember how long it took him to join Twitter?

A Wall Sticker Fit For A 'Big Girl Room.'
For months now we have been in the process of creating a wonderful 'Big Girl Room' for our biggest girl. We started thinking about it right back in November before our littlest person had even arrived, and we (sadly) said goodbye to our lovely home office in favour for a room fit for our lovely Mads.
We decided on a woodland theme, not really sure why, with the main emphasis being owls. Therefore when I had the opportunity to review an Enchanted Interiors wall sticker, I jumped at the chance as I found the perfect sticker in the colours that we had chosen.
I am not a big pink person, of course we all love a bit of Pink in our lives but I am not keen on the sickly pink that home decor companies seem to think all little girls should have. Therefore we decided on a colour scheme of autumn colours- think browns, reds, oranges and green. The wall sticker I chose from Enchanted Interiors matched the colours perfectly, and I was just so excited to have found one.
Enchanted Interiors is a company which sources and designs bright and colourful accessories to compliment any childs bedroom. They have a huge array of designs and I loved looking through them all. Aside from the wall stickers, they also do other accessories including mirrors, canvases, clocks and lighting.
We chose this woodland sticker, which was the perfect size as Mads room is quite small, and it arrived literally a day after we had ordered it. Mr E set about applying it to the wall. It came on one large sheet with lots of individual stickers, all rolled up so it didn't bend. We then just stuck them to the wall, using the photo provided as a guide, but you could have positioned them in any way you chose.
It was really easy to stick them to the wall, and if for any reason you made a mistake they were very easy to peel off and start again. The quality of the stickers is fantastic, you can tell they have been designed and printed with the highest quality materials. We were really impressed with how easy it was to apply, and Mr E did it all himself without the need for my help.
As for the overall look? Well we think they look fantastic and they have completely transformed her room without the need for painting. Because her room is quite small, it is such a large feature without being over powering. We absolutely love it and so does Mads.
I wanted to do a post with a tour of her room which I still will do but unfortunately we still are waiting for the delivery of her cot bed so I will have to wait and do this another time.
In the meantime check out her beautiful woodland wall! I would highly recommend Enchanted Interiors if you are looking to redo your child's bedroom.
We were sent the woodland sticker for the purposes of this review but all opinions are entirely my own.

Some weeks ago when Skype kicked Fring users to the curb and made it so that app couldn't access the Skype service, many thought that this meant the company would soon roll out its own text and video chat app. Today Skype for Android hit the Market and offers (drumroll please): voice calls and chat. There's no video chat, and no love for any phone not running Android 2.1 or above, it's not working on Samsung Galaxy S phones, plus China and japan will just have to wait. As disappointing as this is, there's more to come.
Let me back up here and say that my first impression of Skype's app is that it's solid, overall. Users will have access to the same Skype contacts from the desktop app and will be able to merge those contacts with their existing address book. Skype will also offer to see if any of your phone contacts are on Skype, and you'll be able to dial from your address book once merged.
Text chat wasn't terribly exciting, but there's not much you can do there that's new. When I initiated a one-on-one chat from my desktop to my phone, the chat window opened right away. However, if you have multiple chats, the app isn't as good at notifying you about that from certain windows. There's an Events notifier in the upper left corner, but no audible tone or even a noticeable animation to alert you of things going on in a different window. Best to stick with one chat at a time, then. If you're not in the Skype app and receive a message, it will ping you in the Notifications bar, at least.
Switching between chats could be easier as well. Right now the only way I can see is to go to the Events tab then choose from the list there.
Users can call other Skype accounts for free or, if you have Skype credit or an unlimited calling account, you can use Skype to call other mobile or landline phones, just as you can from the Skype app. The quality of the call will obviously depend on your connection and how good your phone's mic is.
We did a Skype-to-Skype test call here in the office over Wi-Fi, standing around 40 feet from our router. I called a co-worker at his desktop from my phone and he sounded very clear on my end. I wasn't as clear on his end, but still audible. There was about a 1.5 second lag, but otherwise the call was about what we expected.
Then I attempted to call via 3G, and that's when the magic happened. First, Skype kept going offline when I connected to 3G. After a bit of fiddling, I got it to connect, then tried to make a call. And that's when I saw this:
Wi-Fi only in the U.S. I was a bit shocked by this because the press release and Skype blog post I saw touted 3G and Wi-Fi calling. Then I scrolled all the way to the bottom and finally saw the disclaimer: ""In the US, you can make calls only over WiFi." The fact that they included this info so far down without even an asterisk after this line: "You can also call phones at Skype's great rates – over WiFi or 3G," tells me Skype knows this is bound to make users less than happy.
It's hard not to find this very disappointing. When Apple restricted FaceTime calls to Wi-Fi it was sad, but understandable given the experience we've had with Qik and with tricking FaceTime into working over 3G. But restricting voice calls, too? That doesn't make much sense. I've been using Google Voice for over 6 months and, while the calls over 3G are not always crystal clear, I've never had such a terrible experience that I wouldn't use it. So what's up with Skype?
In the end, I came away feeling that Skype for Android has some good features and, if I were a heavy and dedicated Skype user with a Skype-to-regular phone calling plan, I'd be very happy with what they've given me so far. But I don't think this is going to draw new users in, or make them want to switch to using Skype from Google Voice (which offers domestic calls for free) or Fring or Google Talk or any number of similar services/apps. It's a decent first step, but I'm waiting for something that will wow me.
would u plz tell me the version of this skype that u put news about that in this page?

Combined with the 90-minute documentary Brilliant, but Cancelled, in which veteran TV writers and execs discuss failed genius (usually their own), and a handful of other documentaries and talk shows dedicated to misbehaving networks, Trio in December looks very much like a cable channel bad-mouthing the majors. It's a month-long celebration of frustration and inaction, futility and ignorance; you can't help but watch Trio and wonder what television might be like were its best offerings not ghettoized to a channel available in only 17 million households, most of which have no idea what Trio is or even that it exists at all (most people seem to think it's a home-shopping network, a QVC holding pattern, since the net isn't currently broadcasting 24/7).
During December, Trio certainly hints at a world that could have existed but will never exist...
"Dot, dot, dot, except on Trio," says Lauren Zalaznick, who became Trio president and head of programming in May of this year. "This is a great opportunity for us. We want to define what we perceive as a real wish on the part of the consumer for the stuff that makes you feel good about watching. And I don't mean the makes-you-feel-good, happy-smile-on-your-face sitcom. I mean, these are shows that give you a good feeling for having watched them. This whole week I've been getting calls like, 'I'm tired. It's your fault. I just kept watching. I watched East Side, West Side. I didn't want to watch Profit, I watched Profit. I didn't want to watch the next one, I watched it. It was 1:30 in the morning. I'm tired. It's your fault.' That's kind of the feeling we want to deliver every month of the year. That's the goal."
Zalaznick came to Trio from VH1, where she had a significant hand in creating shows such as Pop-Up Video, VH1 Divas Live! and Bands on the Run--none of which should be held against her. Before that, she produced independent films, including some from Far from Heaven director Todd Haynes (Safe, Dottie Gets Spanked and Poison) and Larry Clark's Kids, which makes her the least likely candidate to run a network since, well, ever. She considers herself more a curator than a programmer, meaning she envisions Trio not as a test pattern with commercials to turn on and tune out after a long day at the office but as a pop-culture repository devoted to "movies and fashion and film and TV and politics and technology--the life of the culture." In other words, it's the Vanity Fair of networks.
The Brilliant, but Cancelled month is one of four month-long events--or "stunts," as Zalaznick likes to say--the network's boss plans for each year. It was preceded by June's theme of Uncensored, which featured documentaries such as TV's Most Censored Moments and The History of Outrage, as well as unexpurgated and commercial-free screenings of Stanley Kubrick's Lolita and Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris. Zalaznick wants to use these themed months to reinvent the network: It's likely that after Brilliant, but Cancelled ends, Trio will begin running other canceled series (like, say, the Dabney Coleman show Buffalo Bill) that have been little seen since they originally and briefly appeared. "Each of these months is a microcosm of what the service is going to look like in two years," Zalaznick says, adding that beginning January 2, Trio will launch its first weeknight prime-time schedule, airing a live-music performance at 7 p.m. C.S.T., a documentary at 8 and reruns of NBC's Late Night with David Letterman at 9. (Late Night will also run, as a marathon, over the New Year's holiday.)
"Every night at 7, we'll have the only live music performance on television, you know, despite the 19 music channels already out there, and that's a big statement," Zalaznick says. "If I say I have David Letterman every weeknight at 9, that's a big statement. And I'm launching a special documentary block that in and of itself slices up my Trio pop-culture pie every night. It's a one-hour documentary on politics, war, fashion, film, it's a biography, it's a classic documentary, it's a brand-new documentary that's at Sundance. It's an avenue for specials that really doesn't exist." Eventually, Zalaznick says, Trio will begin producing or co-producing scripted half-hour or hour-long series; already it's home to The Moth, a program in which actors and musicians and regular folk perform spoken-word pieces about specific issues (relationships, September 11, rock and roll, etc.).
Trio's hardly a renegade: It's owned by USA Cable and Universal Television, which brings you the likes of Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, the dozen Law & Order series and such, ahem, shows as Blind Date and Crossing Over with John Edward. It's also responsible for the Randy Quaid white-trash "comedy" The Grubbs, which Fox mercy-killed before it ever aired this season--it's canceled, yeah, but the opposite of brilliant. Maybe that's why Zalaznick bristles when someone says Trio feels like the anti-network; she's wise not to bite off the hand that feeds her, especially when it wears a gold pinkie ring. Still, she's quick to point out her network is an oasis in the TV desert. I tell her that as soon as one switches off Trio and heads back to CBS or NBC or ABC or Fox, well, you're back in the wasteland. She laughs.
"Yup," she adds. "Back in the morass."

Turkey literally bridges Europe and Asia and the result is a fascinating country, rich in history and diverse in culture. The mysterious city of Istanbul is undeniably exotic, brimming with soaring cathedrals and mosques, sprawling palaces and bustling marketplaces, it resonates an old-world charm that simply stirs the soul. Exploring Turkey is a wild experience; countless historically significant sites and ancient ruins lay hidden amidst Turkey's landscape that ranges from golden beaches to rugged mountains, from lush valleys to desolate desert plains. For the intrepid traveler, such a range in terrain presents an unbelievable array of recreational activities, including sailing the turquoise waters where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, rafting the Coruh River, exploring the strange natural rock formations and caves of the Cappadocia region or trekking among the austere Pontic Mountains. Turkey is one of those rare destinations that truly has it all.

Disclaimer: This is my daughter's car, so no comments about pink or the hearts, please!
Also, no pennies were harmed in the process of this Instructable!
Step 1: Supplies
- accurate scale.
- 3/4" drill bit and drill.
- some loose pennies.
- masking tape (optional).
- hot glue or epoxy (optional).
Step 2: Weight the car
Weigh your car and then add pennies to the scale till you reach the desired weight.
I've been told there are two rules to the Derby:
- If your car is overweight, you are disqualified.
- If your car is underweight, you loose.
For our derby, 5 ounces was the limit, and her car started out at 4.5 oz, so we only needed to add five pennies to get close.
Yes, the car does say "I love you Dad and Mom" on the bottom. That makes it go faster.
Thank you so much for this!! This was our first year in scouts and we waited until the last possible moment to add weight. It was such a great idea! So simple! So easy! Thanks for bailing us out!!
yes, superglue and small change is way cheaper than purchased weight.
5 quarters
5 nickels + 1 dime
12 dimes
For weighing our cars, we take them to the Post Office and use the self-serve stamp machine, since we don't own our own postal scale.
It's always good to have some pocket change on hand on race day (along with crazy glue or tape) for that last-minute adjustment in case the race scale doesn't agree with yours.
Great idea to post here, and happy racing!

The INTERNET Line of Service allows an agency to purchase separately the amount of Internet bandwidth needed to support their users. Agencies must subscribe to a type of Consolidated Network Access (CNA) to obtain OTM INTERNET service.
Although OTM network services are designed to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, OTM does not guarantee, certify, or warrant as to quality of service or that operation of the network will be without interruption or error.
At times it is necessary to perform maintenance on network components in order to maintain quality service. OTM strives to perform this maintenance with the least impact on its customers. Click here to view the Network Maintenance policy and schedule.
Other factors to consider when ordering OTM INTERNET service are Domain Name Services, IP addresses, and email.
Domain Name Services--If a subscriber needs a domain name in the "la.gov" or "louisiana.gov" domain space, OTM has the authority to issue the domain name. OTM can also run secondary Domain Name Services for your organization as a backup for the primary server. There is no charge for this service. Refer to the Domain Name Service Line of Service page or contact OTM Enhanced Network Services section for more information.
Acquiring IP Addresses--Because of the scarcity of Internet Protocol version 4 network addresses, subscribers are encouraged to use private network addresses on their local networks. This requires the use of a firewall or other translation mechanism to translate the private addresses to public addresses for traffic bound for the Internet. OTM can provide a limited number of public IP class C addresses to subscribers upon request. There is no charge for IP addresses, although OTM does require detailed information about how a subscriber intends to use the addresses. Also, should a subscriber cancel their INTERNET services, they will be required to relinquish those IP addresses within 30 days of cancellation. Click here to get additional information about IP addresses.
Other Services--OTM INTERNET is designed to be a connectivity service, and does not offer services like email, agency-specific DNS, or Web services. Subscribers must set up their own services or contract for those services with a commercial provider.
Who can use this service?
INTERNET services may be requested by:
- any political subdivision of the State of Louisiana, including city and parish government;
- private and public educational institutions within the state of Louisiana from kindergarten through university level;
- ther qualifying institutions as described in the current OTM Administrative Rules and Regulations.
Customers of the INTERNET service are expected to abide by rules of engagement outlined in the Office of Information Technology's Acceptable Use Policy (IT POL 1-20).Trouble Reporting Procedures
If you should experience trouble with your network services, please contact our Trouble Reporting number at 225 342-7777. Click here for complete procedures.
Subscribers pay a monthly INTERNET service fee based on the speed of their connection. Subscribers will be billed by OTM through the standard billing arrangements for this service. Billing will begin for the first month after the connection is established. For agencies outside the Baton Rouge LATA (225 area code), MPLS Intrastate Transport (MIT) charges will also apply, such that the total monthly cost of INTERNET service will be CNA charges plus MIT charges plus INTERNET charges at the selected service rates.
