MITO Partnering With Stag on 'WiFiRanger Sky'
April 21, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
MITO Corp., a leading distributor in premium electronics, has entered into a partnership with Stag-Parkway (STAG) to increase distribution of the WiFiRanger Sky to United States' and Canada's vast dealer network. WiFiRanger Sky, a BlueMesh Networks WiFi router, combines waterproof engineering with signal-boosting technology for the best outdoor connection.
The partnership allows MITO to continue to supply manufacturers in the RV, marine and truck industries with STAG serving WiFiRanger's growing aftermarket dealer needs. With 12 warehouses, five customer service call centers and one technical call center, STAG has been fulfilling the RV supply chain since 1968.
In addition to fulfillment, STAG offers a number of merchandising and marketing solutions for dealers' aftermarket needs, including innovative direct mail and web marketing solutions.
"They're a great company for us to partner with," said Rod Hire, Product Manager for MITO Corporation. "They're a one-stop shop for dealers, and this relationship allows us to get our product into the hands of our target market."
Tom Probst, Product Director at STAG, couldn't agree more. With STAG'S next-day delivery to over 97% of America's RV dealerships, WiFiRanger immediately gains nationwide awareness through STAG.
Overall, paired with MITO's Elkhart distribution facility, central to most of the nation's RV manufacturers, the partnership strengthens WiFiRanger's availability to RVers.
A hot commodity for travelers, WiFiRanger Sky has proven to be a great aftermarket RV product. Touted as a device that "takes WiFi to new heights," the Sky strengthens any accessible WiFi signal, allowing RVers to blast past large downloads, stream videos and browse the web, even without being impeded by a low signal. And unlike other routers, the WiFiRanger Sky can broadcast a separate, secure signal while receiving a public WiFi hotspot — all without being confined to one location.
"More RVers are relying on wireless connectivity to enhance the RV lifestyle," Probst said. "Dealers who intend to market full-service solutions to the end user need to stock WiFiRanger."

March 31, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Stag-Parkway has named Brian Stephens as its new outside sales consultant for Canada. According to a press release, Stephens joined the Atlanta-based distributor on March 17.
Stag reported that the majority of Stephens' career has been with Fleetwood Canada Ltd. in Lindsay, Ontario, where he served as assistant production manager, assistant sales manager and district sales manager. After the closure of Fleetwood in 2007, Stephens continued to expand his industry experience to the retail side, working for a local RV dealership and most recently as a territory sales representative for several companies, including Livin Lite RV LLC, Gulf Stream Coach Inc., Moritz International and Riverside RV.
The release stated that "Brian's vast knowledge of the Ontario RV marketplace, consultative selling style and desire to succeed, combined with Stag-Parkway's world class offerings, services and commitment to their dealer partners, is a wonderful asset for the company and Stag is looking forward to expanding its efforts in the region in 2014."
Stag Sponsoring Dealer Ride Control Seminars
March 13, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Stag-Parkway Inc. has announced its next series of ride control dealer seminars to be held April 15 in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and April 17 in Portland, Ore.
"The seminars are designed to be a ride control business development course rather than a hands-on technical clinic" stated Bill Smith, product director for Stag-Parkway, in a press release. "It is really unbelievable to see the amount of RV ride control business and profits that are lost to non-RV service outlets. This seminar will provide dealers with a review of the parts and service opportunities, help them understand the symptoms of ride control problems that all RVers have, and identify the solutions to capture this business."
Participating manufacturers include Air Lift adjustable helper springs, Blue Ox steering stabilizers and track bars, Bilstein shock absorbers, Mobile Outfitters trailer alignment, Roadmaster sway bars and steering controls, and TorkLift suspension stabilizers.
Attendance is free and along with lunch all dealers will receive a complete ride control POP package from each manufacturer, as well as a discount on the purchase of ride control related products from Stag-Parkway. Contact your local Stag sales consultant for more information.
Stag Marks 25 Years at Trade Show in San Juan
February 1, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Stag-Parkway Inc. celebrated its 25th anniversary of hosting national trade shows Jan. 12-15 in San Juan Puerto Rico. According to a press release, guests were treated to a variety of special events including RV University, two receptions and a breakfast keynote from Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer.
"We wanted to make the 25th year special for our customers and suppliers so we decided to try something different and to have the event in Puerto Rico. I'm very pleased to say that our choice of venue more than lived up to our expectations," stated president CEO Martin Street. "When you host an opening reception and you see over 1,700 people – dealers, suppliers, Stag employees and special guests – playing our treasure hunt, visiting with each other and generally having a great time, you know you've delivered something special to the market."
Overall dealer attendance was up this year. "We knew the island would be a great draw for a lot of our customers but even we were surprised at how quickly our two hotels filled up," said Street. "We ended up having to take rooms at a third hotel to accommodate all of our guests. The people that I talked to were genuinely impressed with the choice of venue, our programs and our show pricing.
"Admittedly, we came to Puerto Rico to shake things up a bit but didn't anticipate Mother Nature helping us kick off our event. Once the rattled nerves following Monday night's earthquake had settled, everyone got back into the spirit of the event and a good time was had by everyone there. Our Tuesday evening event, co-sponsored by Blue Ox and the Rums of Puerto Rico, was one of the best we've ever had."
Branded as "Driving Success," the Stag-Parkway show is the largest, RV aftermarket specific event in North America specializing in preseason buying opportunities and dealer education. "This year we had over 1,100 people from over 400 dealerships in attendance and almost 500 of those attending took part in RV University where we focused on product training and PRO business development and retail training topics," said John Spaulding, senior vice president, marketing. "We will be adding 12 additional seminars to PRO this year bringing the total number of free educational programs to over 60 by year's end. This year's training focuses on Customer Acquisition, Customer Retention and Customer Influence."
The trade show itself was the largest in Stag-Parkway history. "We were exceptionally excited about our response this year from the supply community," stated Spaulding. "We had over 160 exhibiting companies in attendance, 14 of which were first time exhibitors. We managed the show a little differently this year recognizing the time change and the obvious draw of Puerto Rico's beaches, historic sites and culture and it work out extremely well. The show floor was active throughout the event which we capped off on Wednesday afternoon with a drawing for a trip for two to Costa Rica. Needless to say, we had a nice crowd on the floor until the end."
According to Street, "Driving Success" provides a good barometer for the coming year. Based on his early assessment of the show results, "2014 promises to be a good one for Stag-Parkway." During the event Stag-Parkway announced the location for its 2015 show – The Mirage in Las Vegas, Jan. 19-21.
Stag Marks 25 Years as 1,700 Attend Trade Show
January 15, 2014 by Sherman Goldenberg · Leave a Comment
The RV industry's 2014 national agenda is getting under way this week with two major league events – Stag-Parkway Inc.'s 25th Annual National Trade Show, Sunday through Wednesday (Jan. 12-15) at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, and the Florida RV Trade Association's (FRVTA) 29th Annual 2014 Florida RV SuperShow taking place Wednesday through Sunday at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
And the initial reports are all good from San Juan, a "special" moment for Atlanta-based Stag, the nation's largest aftermarket parts and accessories distributor, which convened a dealer show with 157 exhibitors, 1,100 dealer personnel — 450 businesses represented in all — and a total of 1,700 attendees including exhibitors and Stag's own staff.
"Yes, very special," John Spaulding, senior vice president of marketing, told RVBUSINESS.com. "We started out as a real small national show in Texas 25 years ago and over that time we've progressively grown into an event that requires 80,000 square feet of exhibit space that we can pretty much own to run our educational programs and breakout rooms for special events. And holding it here in Puerto Rico's a pretty special way to mark that anniversary."
Spaulding added that when Stag first went into the show business 25 years ago, it did so with about 250 suppliers, 30 of whom are in San Juan this week. "So, we've got a long history of people who have been doing business with us and staying with us, which is one of the reasons that I think we have such a successful relationship with our suppliers and why people like coming to our event," said Spaulding. "We have 14 companies exhibiting for the first time in Puerto Rico, and we believe that this venue had a lot to do with their interest in coming here."
San Juan aside, Spaulding said Stag has indeed participated in the industry's national upswing and posted an admirable 2013 in terms of sales, although financials for the privately held company are not released.
So, how well did Stag do last year?
"There are two ways to answer that question," said Spaulding. "We're owned by a private equity company (Linsalata Capital Partners Inc.), and our owners are very satisfied with the growth that we've delivered in 2013. We hit our projected numbers and they're very pleased with their decision to purchase us in 2012.
"This year (2014) started out great. We're exceeding our numbers in December and we know after looking at what this event's going to pull in that we'll have no problem exceeding our goals for January. And we're expecting the same kind of growth in 2014 that we had in 2013."
Spaulding, for his part, said that Stag will continue to focus on its educational programs in the year ahead. "We feel like there is a lot of retail business yet to be captured — business that is being captured in other market spaces like big box retailers, Camping World and those kind of places that, if our dealers were merchandising better, inventorying their parts better, having better POP (point of purchase) programs, using their software in their stores more efficiently to manage inventory, all of us would succeed.
"So our focus in 2014, as its been for the last four years, is education and making ourselves and our staff and our merchandising teams available to help. Any dealer who wants help to refresh their store, to improve the efficiency in their stores and drive profitability in their stores, we're here to help."
During the event, President and CEO Martin Street along with Stag's senior management bestowed glass-blown "Peach Awards" from the internationally known Frabel Studio in Atlanta in the heart of the Peach State, upon its five top-performing supplier partners, including: Progress Manufacturing Inc., Provo, Utah; Stromberg-Carlson Products Inc., Traverse City, Mich.; TRC Electronics Inc, Montgomeryville, Pa.; Air Lift Co., Lansing, Mich.; Phoenix Products Co. Inc., Milwaukee; and AP Products Inc., Coldwater, Mich.
Stag Names Diaz as RSM for Western Territory
October 21, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Atlanta-based Stag-Parkway Inc. has promoted Tony Diaz to the position of regional sales manager for the Western region, according to a press release.
Diaz is a 19-plus year veteran of the RV industry, beginning with Stag as a warehouse employee in Southern California and eventually working his way up to inside sales consultant in its call center. He then took his experience to the dealer side, working as a parts manager for La Mesa RV for nine years. Feeling that he needed to be knowledgeable of all sides of the industry, he then worked for Blue Ox as the outside sales rep for the Western states, winning "Salesman of the Year" in 2011.
STAG welcomed Diaz back in 2012 where he grew his region in the Southeast as an outside sales consultant and garnered respect from his colleagues "due to his can-do nature and affable personality."
His recent move will see him responsible for managing a team of outside sales consultants in Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington.
Stag Announces Promotions for Barra, Mallary
March 25, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Stag-Parkway Inc. has promoted Bob Barra to senior vice president of sales, according to a press release. Barra, who most recently served as vice president of sales for Stag's eastern division, has replaced Craig Mellor who served as the Atlanta-based company's senior vice president of sales.
Mellor has assumed the role of senior sales adviser and will be helping Barra transition into the senior vice president of sales position and also help train STAG's sales staff, maintain dealer relationships, and expand STAG's presence in the market.
Barra joined STAG in 2004 as Regional Sales Manager for the Midwest region. In 2008, he led his region to STAG's prestigious Region of the Year award. In 2008 and 2011, Barra also won STAG's Peak Performer awards. In 2011, he was promoted to Division VP of Sales.
Stag also announced the promotion of Laura Mallary to the position of regional sales manager for the northeastern region.
Mallary served as call center manager for more than 10 years prior to her recent promotion and will now be responsible for managing a team of outside sales consultants in the northeast.
Stag said Mallary has consistently been recognized for her team leadership, dedication and industry knowledge by winning STAG's Peak Performer sales award six times. "Her relationships with dealers throughout the mid-Atlantic and New England will be a tremendous asset to Stag Parkway in their efforts to grow STAG's business in the northeast," the release stated.

Stag's Street Welcomes Parent Co. at Gathering
January 25, 2013 by Dave Barbulesco · Leave a Comment
Anchoring the general session during Stag Parkway Inc.'s Jan. 15-17 "Driving Success" dealer meeting, President and CEO Martin Street revealed details concerning the Atlanta-based company's sale to a private equity firm last December while purporting the collective benefits for its dealer partners.
Addressing around 1,100 dealer personnel at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas – representing a record turnout – Street highlighted the strengths of its new parent, Linsalata Capital. Stag also reported that 150 exhibitors were on hand for the meeting, displaying product on the expansive show floor.
"As I'm sure you have all seen, in December last year we were acquired by Linsalata Capital – a private equity company – from our previous owners Ares Capital," said Street, who joined the distributor five years ago. "Lin-Cap, as it is known, is a company that specializes in owning logistics and distribution companies and so I am looking forward to the help that they can provide us, to continue with our growth plans, and to advise us on best practices that we will be able to incorporate into our current business model."
Street acknowledged the takeover was a protracted and involved process, noting tongue-in-cheek, "At one time or another during last year I think we heard rumors that just about everyone in this room was buying us."
He added, "Bottom line is Lin-Cap accepted that the RV industry was a great industry to be in because it has potential for growth. And they bought Stag because they believe that we can grow beyond where we currently are. They believed we are financially sound and have the infrastructure to grow. They believe, because we talked to them about our competition and they independently confirmed our views, that we are stronger than the competition and have better marketing plans for the future."
Street also spoke to Stag's recent expansion into the Canadian aftermarket with the opening of a warehouse facility in Brampton, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto.
"We have more than 7,000 items available there, two dedicated salespeople serving that market and plans to bring the entire portfolio of STAG services to Canada in the coming year," he related. "…Expanding our market presence to the north is a natural extension of our growth plans. We very much look forward to working more closely with our customers there and believe our service levels, marketing and merchandising programs will be a welcome addition to the services they currently have access to."
During the general session, Stag announced that long-time executive Craig Mellor would be stepping down from his responsibilities as senior vice president of sales to assume the role of senior sales advisor. Bob Barra, who previously served as regional sales manager and Eastern divisional vice president of sales, was introduced as Mellor's successor.
"I'm delighted that we are able to promote from within to replace Craig and take someone who has developed and grown with Stag for many years and allow him the scope to help to continue to drive our business forward," said Street.
As part of the gathering, Stag also recognized its key business partners with the traditional Peach Award. Recipients included Stromberg Carlson Products Inc., Winegard Co., RV Designer Collection, Progress Manufacturing Inc., SHURflo and Carmanah Industries.
Stag-Parkway Expands Operations into Canada
January 14, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Stag-Parkway has expanded its market coverage into Canada by opening warehouse operations in Brampton, Ontario. According to a news release, the warehouse location will give STAG the ability to provide next day service to southern Ontario and Western Quebec. The Canadian warehouse will initially stock more than 7,000 items and can accommodate the same inventory profile as the largest STAG facility in the U.S.
"The move to Canada was a logical one for us," states Martin Street, president and CEO of Atlanta-based STAG. "We have been servicing RV dealers in Canada for several years from our northern warehouse locations in the U.S. While we have been competitive doing so, we see an even bigger opportunity in Canada by being physically located there. We look forward to working with Canadian RV dealers and see this launch as a way to reinforce our commitment to serving them in the future."
To support the sales effort in Canada, STAG has hired two salespeople. "Servicing the market effectively means having feet on the street," commented Craig Mellor, senior vice president of sales. "We knew going in that we would need professional sales people from Canada spearheading our sales effort. We feel very fortunate to have found Christian Fauteux and Gordon Edgar to fill that role. They both have sales tenure in other markets which complements our approach to bringing a broader perspective of retailing to our customers."
Fauteux and Edgar have completed their initial round of product and industry training with an extensive in-the-field program conducted by STAG's U.S. sales team. According to Mellor, "Their experiences in Canada and working with retailers throughout the region will provide valuable insight and direction to ensure we treat the Canadian market and its dealers as unique with unique needs."
Other plans for Canada include the introduction of a Canadian version of the BIG Book in 2013 as well as making available a variety of marketing and merchandising programs to Canadian dealers. "We want to be a full-service distributor in Canada," says John Spaulding, senior vice president of marketing. "That includes making available our Complete Merchandising program, our direct mail and custom imprint programs as well as our B2B and B2C offerings. All of which will be rolled out over the next 12-18 months."
Canadian dealers interested in learning more about STAG can call (800) 765-7824.

"Good one!"
Another great J. Saul tale that keeps you at the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going on. This tale is more on the fictional side, but is still a story you will keep listening to. Its exciting! U wont be disappointed in listening to this!
Happiness is a good book!
"well, not bad"
It's John Saul, you know its going to be dark and have some kind of silly ending, like he gets bored., but still good enough.
"Pretty lame."
I just kind of felt the whole thing to be cliche. The writing was not exactly outstanding either.
Not my favorite reader, but not terrible.
Boredom. It has some gross-out scenes but not much substance, in my opinion.
If you are into detective or cop drama, you will most likely be ok with this. If you are looking for something with a supernatural bent, head back to the Stephen King section and save your money on this one.
"A Story about a Very Sick Twisted Serial Killer"
Yes because it's a complex story involving several characters and how they make the storyline.
Mark Blakemore, Because he is a tough as nails veteran homicide detective yet caring.
Mark Blakemore
A serial killer is causing terror in a large city and expands to the East Coast is brought to justice and put to death in the Electric Chair. Now those that helped put the killer away can sleep at night with their families, or can they and are they safe.
A spoiler is below so stop reading if you have not finished the story.
I liked the accuracy of the city and buildings as they were 100% correct as I grew up where the murders were done and spent lots of time up where the fishing area was.
The story would of been much better if the wrong person was put to death for those crimes not the two killings that was done by the person put to death. This leaves the sick serial killer free to start again which will cause even more terror. The Butcher killings should be removed as that is not needed. Also drop the part where the real killer takes over a body of the husband of the reporter it's to far over the top and is not needed. The fact the real serial killer is still out there will be enough.

A month removed from conference competition, Eastern dives back in against perennial power Sacramento State
Click HERE for a complete set of match notes in PDF format
The Eastern Washington University men's tennis team returns home this week for two competitive matches against non-conference foe Gonzaga and Big Sky leader Sacramento State. The Eagles take on GU Tuesday (March 29) at 5 p.m. at the Jim Thorpe Fieldhouse in Cheney, Wash. Eastern will host Sac State on Friday (April 1) at 2 p.m. in the team's first league match in nearly a month.
Earlier this season, the Eagles battled GU in Spokane and prevailed with a narrow 4-3 decision. Eastern won the doubles point against Gonzaga with a sweep of the first three matches. The Bulldogs won at No. 1, 3 and 5 singles, but it was not enough as Mario Navarro, Julian Sanchez and Chad Henninger helped clinch the match with victories at 2, 3 and 6 singles, respectively.
Since that meeting on Feb. 22, Gonzaga has won three of its last five outings, including a 4-3 victory over Montana State. The Bulldogs have two players with winning records in Zhia Hwa Chong and Levin Guillermo, who have earned a combined 24 singles wins on the year. In doubles, Chong and partner Scott Sullivan lead the team with a 14-11 overall record.
Eastern is 8-11 on the season after dropping its three most recent matches at the Boise State Spring Break Classic. The Eagles lost to No. 61 Boise State, Portland and Marquette at the event. But Eastern was unable to demonstrate its greatest strength at the tournament, as all doubles matches were eliminated unless needed to break a tie from singles. The Eagles, who have won 62 percent of its doubles matches overall this season and 80 percent in conference, are looking forward to getting back into a normal dual-match routine.
"We have seen a lot of success this year with our doubles lineup," said EWU head coach Darren Haworth. "The team has worked hard in that area and takes a lot of pride in winning the doubles point in matches. We are definitely excited to get back on our home courts and get back to playing doubles after a week off from it."
Following Eastern's rematch with Gonzaga, EWU will take on a team that has proved to be the toughest squad in the Big Sky for at least the last decade. The Hornets of Sacramento State have won five-consecutive Big Sky regular-season titles and have played in the NCAA Tournament in six of the last 10 years.
The Hornets are atop the current Big Sky standings with a perfect 6-0 record. Eastern is fifth at 3-2 behind second-place Weber State (3-1) and third-place Northern Arizona (2-1) and Montana State (2-1). The Hornets have swept Eastern in back-to-back regular-season meetings, but in the 2008 Big Sky Championships, EWU upset Sac State 4-3 to win the tournament title and advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history.
Sacramento State is led by senior Kiryl Harbatsiuk, who is ranked among the top 30 singles players in the nation. Harbatsuik, a native of Minsk, Belarus, owns a 17-2 record at No. 1 singles. His only losses came against No. 24 Daniel Nguyen of USC and No. 10 Bradley Klahn of Stanford.
Eagle Tennis News & Notes
Dominating Doubles: As a team, Eastern has won 62 percent of its doubles matches this season, which includes an impressive 12-3 mark in conference play. The Eagles have won the doubles point in four of five Big Sky matches this season, while Eastern's No. 2 doubles team is undefeated in conference at 5-0. The Eagles did not have a chance to play doubles in its three most recent matches at the Boise State Spring Break Classic, but prior to that tournament, Eastern had won the doubles point in five of its last seven matches.
Eriksson/Russell Etch Names in Record Book: Eastern's No. 3 doubles team of sophomore Chris Eriksson and freshman James Russell have made their way into the EWU single-season record book. On March 21, Eriksson and Russell earned their ninth doubles victory of the season when they beat UCSB's Evan Jurgensen and Alexander Gryaznov in a tiebreaker, 9-8. With that victory, the Eagle pair became one of just 11 doubles teams in school history to record at least nine wins in a single season. Eriksson and Russell own a 9-2 overall mark in the 2011 campaign and are 4-1 in conference action.
Eastern's No. 2 Pair Perfect in Conference: Juniors Julian Sanchez and Chad Henninger are undefeated in Big Sky doubles play this season. The duo has won five-straight outings at No. 2 doubles, and have won eight of its last 10 overall doubles matches. The Eagle pair defeated UNC, 8-5, ISU, 8-3 and was the only doubles team to record a win against Weber State, as it outlasted the Wildcats in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (7-5). Sanchez and Henninger also recently defeated Montana State (8-2) and Montana (8-6).
Simikic 'Holds Serve' Against Montanas: Junior Stefan Simikic had a nearly flawless weekend at home against Montana State (March 5) and Montana (March 6). He won both his singles matchups and went 1-1 in doubles action. Simikic was one of only two Eagles to win a singles match against MSU, as he defeated Diego Campos Contreras in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2. The following day, Simikic helped Eastern to a huge 5-2 victory over Montana when he beat Andrew Warren also in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. He helped EWU secure the doubles point with an 8-6 victory at No. 1. Simikic is 7-7 overall on the year and 3-2 in Big Sky outings. He has won three of his last four singles matches.
Sanchez Wins Three in a Row at No. 3: EWU junior Julian Sanchez won three-consecutive matches at the No. 3 spot. He is 5-2 overall on the year when playing at No. 3 singles. Sanchez celebrated a perfect weekend in league play when beat Weber State and Idaho State on Feb. 25 and 27, respectively. He was the only Eagle to record a win against WSU, as he topped P. Ramstromer Pello in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3. The very next day, he bested Dakota Pate of ISU, 7-5, 6-3. Sanchez also has wins at No. 3 against Whitworth, Whitman and Gonzaga, while his two other wins this season came while playing No. 4 singles against Idaho and Northern Colorado.
Koetje Dominates No. 6 Singles: EWU sophomore Kyle Koetje has won five of six matches at No. 6 singles. Two of his five victories came in conference play, as he topped Northern Colorado, 6-2, 6-2 and helped Eastern win a close match against Montana with his 6-4, 6-2 victory at No. 6. He has also defeated the No. 6 player from Whitman, Air Force and Seattle.
Altimires Makes Eastern Debut: Freshman Luis Altimires from Terrassa, Spain played in his first-career match for EWU last weekend at the Boise State Spring Break Classic. Altimires debuted at No. 6 singles against the Golden Eagles of Marquette (March 26). Although he lost the match, 6-4, 6-3, Altimires was impressive, winning seven games throughout the two-set affair.
Bears No Match For Eagles: Since Northern Colorado became a member of the Big Sky Conference during the 2006-07 season, the EWU men's tennis team has not dropped a single match to the team from Greeley. EWU has swept UNC, 7-0 in each of the last five years. This year, Eastern played Northern Coloardo in its Big Sky debut on Feb. 6 and did not lose a single set to the Bears.
Eagles Tabbed Fifth in Big Sky Preseason Coaches Poll: The Eagle men's tennis team earned 40 points in the 2011 preseason coaches poll, good for fifth place in the rankings. EWU returns six players from the 2009-10 squad that earned a 7-14 overall record and 3-5 mark in conference play. Sacramento State is the favorite for the 2011 season, having earned 63 total points and seven of nine first-place votes by the coaches. Northern Arizona and Montana followed in the poll at second and third, respectively, while Weber State garnered two more points than Eastern to claim fourth place. EWU's Big Sky season commences on Feb. 6 against Northern Colorado, who was tabbed ninth by the coaches.

Mussolini Wins Initial Big Sky POW Honors: Sophomore Fernando Mussolini was honored as the first tennis Big Sky Player of the Week for the 2011 season. This is the second weekly award for Mussolini, as he was also recognized by the league on Feb. 24, 2010. Mussolini, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, went 2-0 at No. 1 singlesduring the week, which included one of the biggest victories in Eastern Washington men's tennis history. Mussolini defeated Idaho's Marius Cirstea, who is ranked 57th in the nation and 17th in the mountain region. Mussolini beat Cirstea in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5. He is the first player under head coach Darren Haworth to beat a nationally-ranked player (top 100), and believed to be the first Eagle to do so since Eastern became a member of NCAA Division I.
Eastern Returns Two 10-Win Players from Last Season: Sophomore Fernando Mussolini and junior Chad Henninger were the only two players to record double-digit wins in 2010. Mussolini finished the year with a 10-11 record, playing primarily at No. 3 singles. Henninger finished at 10-5 overall with equal outings at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions. Henninger, a native of Eugene, Ore., was also Eastern's most successful doubles player in 2010, garnering 14 wins throughout the year.
Five New Faces for 2011: The 2011 EWU men's tennis roster includes five new members from a year ago, including three international students. Among the newcomers is James Russell, a freshman from Kirkland, Wash. and Chris Eriksson, a sophomore-transfer from Saint Louis University. Head coach Darren Haworth also added three talented players from outside the US, including Mario Navarro, a native Barcelona, Spain, Luis Altimires from Terrassa, Spain, and Ilija Cuic from Zagreb, Croatia.
Sanchez in EWU Single Season and Career Record Book: Junior Julian Sanchez is the only active Eagle who appears in both the single season and career record book. As a freshman in 2009, Sanchez garnered 13 wins, which was enough to be included in the top 15 players in Eastern history in terms of single-season wins. In his career, Sanchez has compiled 28 total wins in singles play, which ranks eighth in the EWU career record book.

Turn Ons
Relaxing on the nude beach in the sun. I had a good lunch and fell half asleep. i must have been dreaming very nice...i suddenly realized i had a huge hard on. first i wanted to hide my dick, but it felt soooo horny, just lying there with my hard cock out. i had my sunglasses on, so i just pretended to be asleep.
it was calm on the beach but just enough movement to keep it interesting for me. a couple passed and i could see they noticed my cock. that was such a rush! they walked on but it did look like they were going to have some fun themselves... some guys passed by, one stopped with a hard on. he kept his distance but played with himself while staring at my hard cock. i kept on playing asleep, but my dick did respond, it started throbbing and the rush was sooo good that i felt some pre-cum cumming up. my head must have been glistering in the sun and the guy let himself go and shot a nice load onto the sand. this was already my best beach visits ever!
then i noticed the guy gave quick look behind me before moving on. i just had to look...there had been a couple behind me all the time! they did see me look so i couldnt fake to be asleep anymore. at first i didnt know how to react but they smiled at me. they must have seen me 'asleep' with my hard cock all the time. and that guy wanking close to me ...and that guy must have enjoyed my hard cock and the attention of the couple. i still didnt really know how to behave. i tried to hide my dick, i sat up, but it was standing hard and clearly visible. i tried to move around but couldnt hide it. The couple obviously noticed and the guy said "dont worry, we like sightseeing". i relaxed again and sat back with my hard cock right up in the air. throbbing as hard as possible. and said "i like to provide a sight". and the guy said to me "i was daring my wife to walk over and wake you up by stroking your dick". She laughed and said to him "come on, i cant jerk an other guy while you are just sitting there". that was my opening "what if i stroke him while you stroke me..." they looked at each other for a couple of seconds, but his cock was almost as hard as mine so i had good hope. ...she winked me over...

The Afghan War Diary (AWD for short) consists of messages from several important US military communications systems. The messaging systems have changed over time; as such reporting standards and message format have changed as well. This reading guide tries to provide some helpful hints on interpretation and understanding of the messages contained in the AWD.
Most of the messages follow a pre-set structure that is designed to make automated processing of the contents easier. It is best to think of the messages in the terms of an overall collective logbook of the Afghan war. The AWD contains the relevant events, occurrences and intelligence experiences of the military, shared among many recipients. The basic idea is that all the messages taken together should provide a full picture of a days important events, intelligence, warnings, and other statistics. Each unit, outpost, convoy, or other military action generates report about relevant daily events. The range of topics is rather wide: Improvised Explosives Devices encountered, offensive operations, taking enemy fire, engagement with possible hostile forces, talking with village elders, numbers of wounded, dead, and detained, kidnappings, broader intelligence information and explicit threat warnings from intercepted radio communications, local informers or the afghan police. It also includes day to day complaints about lack of equipment and supplies.
The description of events in the messages is often rather short and terse. To grasp the reporting style, it is helpful to understand the conditions under which the messages are composed and sent. Often they come from field units who have been under fire or under other stressful conditions all day and see the report-writing as nasty paperwork, that needs to be completed with little apparent benefit to expect. So the reporting is kept to the necessary minimum, with as little type-work as possible. The field units also need to expect questions from higher up or disciplinary measures for events recorded in the messages, so they will tend to gloss over violations of rules of engagement and other problematic behavior; the reports are often detailed when discussing actions or interactions by enemy forces. Once it is in the AWD messages, it is officially part of the record - it is subject to analysis and scrutiny. The truthfulness and completeness especially of descriptions of events must always be carefully considered. Circumstances that completely change the meaning of an reported event may have been omitted.
The reports need to answer the critical questions: Who, When, Where, What, With whom, by what Means and Why. The AWD messages are not addressed to individuals but to groups of recipients that are fulfilling certain functions, such as duty officers in a certain region. The systems where the messages originate perform distribution based on criteria like region, classification level and other information. The goal of distribution is to provide those with access and the need to know, all of the information that relevant to their duties. In practice, this seems to be working imperfectly. The messages contain geo-location information in the forms of latitude-longitude, military grid coordinates and region.
The messages contain a large number of abbreviations that are essential to understanding its contents. When browsing through the messages, underlined abbreviations pop up an little explanation, when the mouse is hovering over it. The meanings and use of some shorthands have changed over time, others are sometimes ambiguous or have several meanings that are used depending on context, region or reporting unit. If you discover the meaning of a so far unresolved acronym or abbreviations, or if you have corrections, please submit them to email@example.com.
An especially helpful reference to names of military units and task-forces and their respective responsibilities can be found at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/enduring-freedom.htm
The site also contains a list of bases, airfields http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/afghanistan.htm Location names are also often shortened to three-character acronyms.
Messages may contain date and time information. Dates are mostly presented in either US numeric form (Year-Month-Day, e.g. 2009-09-04) or various Euro-style shorthands (Day-Month-Year, e.g. 2 Jan 04 or 02-Jan-04 or 2jan04 etc.).
Times are frequently noted with a time-zone identifier behind the time, e.g. "09:32Z". Most common are Z (Zulu Time, aka. UTC time zone), D (Delta Time, aka. UTC + 4 hours) and B (Bravo Time, aka UTC + 2 hours). A full list off time zones can be found here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/military/
Other times are noted without any time zone identifier at all. The Afghanistan time zone is AFT (UTC + 4:30), which may complicate things further if you are looking up messages based on local time.
Finding messages relating to known events may be complicated by date and time zone shifting; if the event is in the night or early morning, it may cause a report to appear to be be misfiled. It is advisable to always look through messages before and on the proceeding day for any event.

Meeting with RTC Concerning ANUP
PRT Comments: The PRT requested the meeting to discuss how the ANAP recruitment, vetting and training will happen and when. Discussion included:
- MOI is supposed to send a mobile recruiting team (MRT) to the provinces (currently there is not a time frame for this to happen as we have received word from TF Spartan that the program is on hold for all provinces except Paktika). PTAT and DYNCORP mentors will accompany the MRT to the districts. The names of recruits will be forwarded to the GoA in Kabul for vetting through the normal ANP vetting process
- The RTC recommends that the training actually take place at the RTC instead of in the districts due to logistical support issues encountered in Andar District, Ghazni Province
- ANAP training is 10 days and covers topics such as constitutional law, ethics, human rights, use of force and first aid
- The RTC expressed concern that the vetting process is not effective and they suspect that signatures from required offices are obtained by paying a fee/bribe. A lack of effective record keeping limits the reliability of background checks and vetting often amounts to asking a village elder about the reliability of the recruit. They are also concerned that BGen Rahofis role in the vetting process brings into question the reliability of anyone approved in Paktya Province
- During ANAP training periods, billeting will be required for eight trainers and four security personnel. The RTC wondered if they could be housed here at FOB Gardez
- The RTC was told at a PCC meeting that an MRT has already been to Paktya and 150 recruits are in training. They said they have not been able to find anyone that was aware of a team coming to the province, nor is there anyone currently being trained
Other discussion topics included:
- Gov Rahmats PSD needs weapons. The RTC says they may have some that they could provide. The PRT will discuss exact requirements with Gov Rahmat tomorrow and then get back with the RTC
- Gov Rahmat is getting off to a strong start and he has the potential to make a huge difference in Paktya if we can keep him alive. Both the RTC and PRT will do everything they can to improve his chances of not being assassinated. However, the stronger he is, the more likely he will be targeted
- Gov Rahmats PSD needs training. He brought six personnel from his home province, Jalalabad, that are not
currently ANP, but can be trusted. These personnel need RTC and PSD training. PSD training was supposed to start today, but Gov Rahmat does not have anyone to cover for them as his PSD while they are in training. The RTC recommended that MGen Fatah be asked to provide some troops to protect the governor while his team is in training. The PRT will discuss this option with the governor tomorrow. It was reported that BGen Rahofi recently assigned 12 ANP soldiers to protect the governor, but their loyalty is in question. In addition, an officer to lead the PSD has yet to be identified

Dissertation Structure
Divide-and-Rule Principle Enacted
Some researchers claim there is no pre-established and rigid dissertation structure; others say there is. Actually, the truth is somewhere in between. You may apply general guidelines first and then follow specific requirements of your academic sphere. Dissertation generalities determine the structure of a research paper as follows:
Title page
Title page includes:
Abstract is the gateway to the whole dissertation structure. You are to employ 300-500 (or more, if necessary) words telling the reader everything they can expect to find in the research, in a summary form. No references or quotes are found here.
Dedications and Acknowledgments are half-a-page sections written to thank everyone (the difference between the two is the degree of intimacy involved) who has contributed greatly (or even a bit) to your project. Sequence of importance is up to you.
Table of Contents is a list of headings and subheadings, neatly laid out, with page numbers. For all previous pages you should use Roman numeral, such as i, ii, iii, iv, etc.
Introduction of about 150 words length outlines "The Big Issue", that is, what you are going to write about: importance of your topic, present-day state of the field, field research problems. This section takes 10% of the whole paper volume. This section should be a sort of "New Readers start here". Assume the reader has little or no knowledge of the subject matter. You need to describe the state of the art, or what has happened so far. The first paragraph tells the reader something about the subject, so that they can know a little before they start the "interesting" bit.
Literature Review is a review of the relevant theory, the presentation of both classical and recently published information about the subject. This segment accounts for 20-25% of the entire dissertation.
Methodology speaks about what you are going to do, and how you are going to do it. Subsections are determined by the topic. It consumes up to 20% of space. Possible subdivisions:
Findings and discussions section represents a substantial 25-30% chunk of a research. These two parts illuminate what you have discovered and what you have concluded from it. In a dissertation, and particularly at Master's level, considerable analysis is sought after, not a simple description. Dissertation evaluators look even beyond to a detailed and visionary strategy for further development (depending on the dissertation subject area).
Conclusion/Recommendations should be short and concise, approximately one page and a half. You could include areas that may be worth researching further, and dwell upon contributions, implications and limitations of your research.
References section is a list of works, documents and sources from where you have quoted in the text of the dissertation; whereas Bibliography is an optional list of books and other published work you have consulted in order to gain insights but without quoting per se.
Appendices may include properly formatted:

In this day and age it isn't too hard to become confused about what we see going on around us. For example, we see opinion polls that tell us our country is on the wrong track and that Gov. Mitt Romney is the most able to fix the mess. Then, in the same poll, more voters pick Obama, keeper of the mess, as the one they will give their vote to. I find that as amazing as confusing. However, it does one thing right on, and that is, it shows how true Gov. Romney's remarks about the 47 percent are.
Gov. Romney said the 47 percent would vote for Obama no matter what and the "no-matter-whats" are plentiful and easy to ...

Sokun Kanha, Photo by RooSter_KooL Photography
I spent two nights for the new layout, it's time to listen to music. Since few days, I heard a new song on the Radio. It attached to my feeling due to the well written lyric about an "Impossible Love". I am not a to fan of Sokun Kanha but this song, I would said she has done a very good job.
It's a new song from Hang Meas Production Vol 424, under the Khmer title: Min Men Songsa Bong Min Ach Ther Bong Chomnous Ke. It means "I can't take care of you because I am not your Girlfriend". The song describe about one way love story. A girl express her feeling she got from looking in distance the one she loves.
She wanted to help but she hesitated. She knew it's wrong, but it is hard for her to ignore when she saw he has troubles. I gave 100/100 to the writer of the lyric. It is not everyday we found a way to express this kind of feeling.
Bravo to Sokun Kanha! your sweet voice made us all feel about a touching and beautiful love story.
The song is available at Audio CD RHM Vol.424
Update on 02 December 2010,
Many good friends has referred this song to its original. In face the song was copied from a Thai song Mai Chai Fan Tum Tan Mai Dai by Taktan Chonlada. I don't speak Thai and I am not sure if the lyrics also 100% copied. Let us know your comment!

- Sustainability, Planning and Economic Enhancement
Welcome to Sustainability
Innovation, Collaboration, Leadership
Simply put, sustainability refers to our ability to sustain ourselves, our community and the natural resources on which we depend (like clean air and water) for our day-to-day survival. Sustainability recognizes the need for us to move away from using resources in an inefficient and wasteful way and instead move toward a smarter way of doing business. It also recognizes the important links between economic prosperity, social well-being and environmental health.
Miami-Dade Sustainability collaborates with County agencies, business groups, non-profit organizations and other partners to protect and enhance the County's distinct environmental quality and livability. Additionally, the Office leads the development and implementation of the County's sustainability plan, GreenPrint. The plan will set the framework for the County to inspire, inform and enable our communities to improve their quality of life and increase economic prosperity through environmental responsibility.
The Office coordinates and assists with organization-wide and department-level change towards sustainable government culture, operations and service delivery in order for the County to provide lean green government, encourage strong environmental practices, create healthy urban environments, and provide smart mobility.
For more information on the County's sustainability efforts, please visit green.miamidade.gov. The website offers expansive information about how Miami-Dade County is going green -- and how you can do the same! Check out dozens of tips, available rebates, eco-friendly programs and more.

Outrageous Things That Politicians Say
Yesterday Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois spoke about how after 9/11 the congress came together to pass new laws and now after the tragedy in Connecticut he thinks that the congress will come together and pass gun control legislation. OUTRAGEOUS!

text: Identities, Conflict and Cohesion Identities affect patterns of exclusion and solidarity, and provide a basis for both social cohesion and conflict. This programme aims to assess how processes of development and social change, as well as public policies, shape identities. The programme will focus on the concepts of difference, citizenship and accommodation to stress the complexity of ethnic and national identities and reveal how such identifications evolve over time and are reconfigured by political and economic changes.

Alpine Adventures is widely known for superior customer service, unique outdoor family adventures and new and innovative activities for visitors of the White Mountains and beyond. We wish to make lasting memories for families and friends with this great excuse to get together and take a time-out from our hectic lifestyles. We'll take you out of your comfort zone, where you can fly from tree to tree like birds, go off-roading in a Swiss army vehicle, and challenge yourself on the obstacles and high flying elements of our new Thrillsville Aerial Adventure Park.
Alpine Adventures began in 1997 as a snowmobile tour operator & was the first in New Hampshire to hold a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service to conduct guided tours by snowmobile. In 2004 Alpine Adventures researched and chose to use the 6-wheel drive Pinzgauer for their driveability and small footprint to create a year-round off road adventure tour in the White Mountains. The off-road tours were an instant hit and were conducted with Alpine Adventure's usual commitment to the highest level of customer service, safety and entertainment. The unique tours set them apart from other attractions while creating a new level of recreational experience.
In 2005, with a growing staff that had endless energy and enthusiasm for their job, the owners were looking for the next thing. They found it in Hawaii and began building the first zipline canopy tour on the east coast. Since then, two additional zipline courses have been built, the SkyRider & SUPER SkyRider Tours, on 300 private acres in Woodstock. Thrillsville Aerial Adventure Park & the BigAirBag Stuntzone were added to the Main Street headquarters in Lincoln. This constant and continued evolution is a product of limitless vision and Yankee can-do attitude.
Alpine Adventures is affiliated with Jamaica Zipline Adventure Tours outside of Montego Bay, Jamaica, New York Zipline Adventures at Hunter Mountain, and Canopy Tours, Inc., which offers canopy tour construction and consultation services to companies and individuals around the world.

Hi All,
As can be seen from the title I am looking for the best place to get fitted for golf clubs in the limerick area.
I would like to try get fitted for Irons and possibly woods.
I have had some mixed infrormation to date with some people telling me im taylormade 2.0 irons standard lie and regular flex, with others telling me I am 1degree flat and I should get S300 stiff shafts.
With that much ambiguity about my set-up I want to be sure I get correctly fitted.
The Mizuno JPX 800 irons interest me too after reading about them here and doing some research on them
PS: I had thought about putting this in the regional area, but felt I would get a more experienced answer here.

Cirque Du Soleil mixes circus arts and street entertainment with songs from the King of Pop's canon.
- Filed Under
There were a number of projects Michael Jackson never had the chance to accomplish. The iconic entertainer hoped to work with Cirque Du Soleil, which mixes circus arts and street entertainment.
"He came into our office in Montreal and was quite taken with Cirque Du Soleil," Cirque Du Soleil publicist Laura Silverman said. "We all know how much Michael loved magic, and he loved the creativity that is synonymous with Cirque Du Soleil. We loved meeting him, and he loved meeting the people behind the scenes at Cirque Du Soleil."
Unfortunately, Jackson passed away before such a project could ...

Electronic Musician Review of DACS FREQue II
"The Freque II is the flagship of the DACS (Digital Audio and Computer Systems) line of ring modulators. It includes wonderful enhancements made to the original Freque (reviewed in the November 1999 issue) that raise the profile of the processor while retaining the original's sonic signature...
I processed a number of instruments with the Freque II, including analog synths, electric guitar, bass, and drum loops. While editing arrangements for a hip-hop project, I dropped the Freque II into the mix for quick, dissonant metallic effects.
I also spun orchestral records slowly backward by hand, sending the signal first through Freque II and then through a spring reverb. That created a weird, crackly, deep-space vibe that I couldn't achieve any other way. I highly recommend using a MIDI-to-CV converter to control both oscillators from your sequencer to get more predictable results.
Freque II is truly a sound designer's dream. It'll chew up program material like nothing else out there. In a world filled with plug-ins that do everything, the Freque II is a processor that few, if any, plug-ins can emulate. In my opinion, it's worth every penny."

Sound on Sound Review of DACS FREQue II
"Other ring modulators I've encountered offer obvious distinction between their two signal inputs. However, the rear panel of the FREQue II has input connections for each channel labelled Mus and Mod. There are two built-in sine-wave oscillators whose outputs are available at the rear panel, though they can be routed internally to each modulator input if required. Each oscillator's frequency can be controlled externally from dedicated external Hz/Volt CV inputs, making the FREQue II an ideal partner for a modular synth, especially one from the Korg MS Series. You can, of course, connect audio signals to both music and modular inputs - indeed, some of the most sonically pleasing results are achieved when the modulation source is harmonically related to the musical input. The music inputs and each of the main audio outputs are balanced, although unbalanced operation is selected automatically if you insert a standard mono jack.
I was eager to get some sounds from this beast, so I started by connecting the stereo outputs of a drum machine to each channel's music input. I didn't connect anything to the modulator input, so I pushed each of the front-panel Osc buttons, enabling me to use the oscillators as modulation sources. Next, I adjusted the level of Music and Modulator for each channel by means of the four small and rather closely packed knobs. LEDs on the left-hand side of the front panel provided adequate visual feedback of signal levels, although logic might have seen them positioned rather nearer to their associated controls than they are.
Only then, with audio pouring through the FREQue II, did I start to appreciate the high quality of this processor. I have several other ring modulators, both within my modular synthesizer and stand alone units, and none of them come close to the clarity and smoothness that DACS' Audio have managed to achieve. The top end, in particular, sparkles - but not in the annoying way that typifies cheaper ring mods. Here, breakthrough of the original signal has been reduced to a minimum (by using phase cancellation) so that what you hear is ring modulated output with very few unwanted artefacts."

Mark Webber Review DACS FREQue II
Mark Webber
is an electronic artist working across genres, in sound, moving image and
performance, but specializing in projects related to electro-acoustic and
concrète music.
Having studied electro-acoustic music at the University of Hertfordshire he has spent the past 20 years composing in a variety of creative environments from opera and experimental theatre through to animation and even contemporary puppetry. In doing so he uses a huge variety of electronic music studio hardware and techniques, encompassing the legacy of both the analogue and digital domains.
"I am very interested in expression and an emotional engagement within electronic music, of raw sound that can move one just as any song or poem might. I'm always looking for equipment and techniques that are going to get me closer to these human considerations when making work, the DACS FREQue II is one such unit. The quality of the FREQue II ring modulation is second to none, when processing it retains all the complexities and nuances of the source materials presented to it, this is key to retaining the meaning and musicality in sound composition."
"I always struggle to describe my work but have settled on the label of symphonic musique concrète, which I think was coined by Pierre Henry, or at least is contained within some text concerning his work. I aim to make electronic music that retains the dynamic range, delicacy and power of an orchestra, and coupled with this a similar timbral complexity and therefore subsequent emotional intensity. The DACS FREQue II is a key instrument in my studio to realising these aims. In a world driven by plug-ins and the computer modelling of sound the FREQue II, with its totally analogue operation and interconnection, is a breath of fresh air. To me the FREQue II enables the creation of real sound objects rather than digitally modelled imitations, akin to why a sculptor would work in stone rather than creating work virtually with CAD software in a computer. I feel the same way about the sounds created with the FREQue II, they have an unrivalled acoustic depth and sonority that other hardwareor modelled ring modulators I've usedjust aren't capable of producing, delivering complex overtones and new sounds that seem to resound and sparkle."
Mark's eclectic back catalogue includes works such as Sunayani, a Sonic Arts Network commission, a concrète work for tape and video made entirely from the sound and visual recordings of peacocks. This piece also toured the world as part of the American Composers Forum's Sonic Circuits VII program.His 2003 Opera North commission, as part of their Resonance initiative,Four White Walls wasfor 5 voices and tape. In this case the electronic partwasmade from the studio treatment ofmodified piano and coupled with processed field recordings made across the Languedoc region of France. Mark's most recent work isThe Glass Hotel- an opera concrète, an Arts Council Lottery Funded project created with mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg. In this work, again for multiple voices and tape, the composition was created entirely from recordings of glass as the only sonic source material.
"Many of my projects are often realised using very unusual sound objects and sources as starting points. This audio may also be very acoustically fragile, that is to say that they have low energy gestures and detailcontained within them that I need to explore. Once again The FREQue II excels at retaining and enhancing this sonic relief, the amazing lack of bleed though means that even tiny sounds are not obliterated by the modulation source so that sounds don't end up getting lost or sounding ragged as so often happens. This is especially true when working with the human voice as I often am, the FREQue II yields a really usable, musical output. This unit has been a vast improvement compared to the ring modulators I was previously chiefly using from within a 1970s modular synthesizer."
"I've been hankering after the DACS FREQue II for a few years now and have just decided to invest in what are probably the best ring modulators currently available. My purchase was prompted by a potential project I have in the pipeline at the moment, a collaboration with a choreographer associated with English National Ballet and Saddlers Wells in celebration of the centenary of Stravinsky's revolutionary scores for the Ballets Russes. I am very excited at the prospect of electronically reworking and reinterpreting the three key works from this era for a new dance piece. Given weight and complexity of these original scores I wanted a piece of equipment that was going to be up to dealing with this material, to honour its musical vigour and subtlety. I'm also looking forward to experimenting with the harmonic movement contained within Stravinsky's works by utilizing the FREQue II's CV input, this gives external control of the on-board oscillators, so harnessing the power of the sound sculpting capabilities of the unit by interfacing with other studio devices. Ultimately great thing about ring modulation is it is sometimes unpredictable and chaotic in its very nature, the FREQue II is a very powerful processor and can yield the most outrageous and interesting sounds from seemingly average sources. It encourages the kind of experimentation and sheer thrill of creating sound that I remember when I bought my first synthesizer nearly 30 years ago."

I'm planning a trip beginning November to end of December (2 months) to travel through the above countries. I have been looking for the least expensive country to fly into from LA and so far, Bangkok seems to be least expensive. Can anyone recommend, the easiest and least expensive to get from one country to another? What what would be the best order? I originally thought to fly in to Cambodia, then travel to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and back to fly out, but Cambodia is more expensive to fly into. Any recommendation who to plan these four countries? I think, we will spend 3 weeks in Thailand, 2 in Cambodia, 2 in Malaysia, and rest in Singapore or maybe just 4-5 days in Singapore then return to rest for couple of days in Thailand.

I think you're right about the cheapest flight into BKK. It usually is the main hub for this region.
Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore sounds like a sensible route. Especially if you travel overland. Getting into Cambodia shouldn't be so expensive. The (connecting) flights with Bankok Airways to Siem Reap are expensive though (roughly $250 or so).
Your alternatives are Air Asia (or another budget airline) but while they are cheap they tend to give some hassles sometimes (read posts here). You could try to get a last minute ticket or go overland which isn't that bad.
Some people take a train through NE Thailand. Buses cover the distance between BKK and Siem Reap as well and even a private taxi is affordable and possible.
Probably best to aim to enter Cambodia via Poipet and on to Siem Reap. Then from Siem Reap head south to the coast and follow the coast back into Thailand. A pleasant route with plenty of opportunities for nice breaks along the coast in both Cambodia and Thailand.
From BKK it's all the way down then.
Hope this helps

Thank you for your response. I found airfare to Cambodia for just $25 more, which may be worthwhile paying considering I won't have to backtrack into Thailand, as I think it might take too much of our time to get to Malaysia by land from Cambodia. However, I'm looking at options to getting back to Cambodia from Singapore, it seems the only way to get back would be by plane? At the same, time I see I can purchase an airfare arriving in Cambodia and returning home from Singapore for just under $200, which seems maybe to be the best option. Any thoughts?
I fount a website that states the train in Cambodia in not running anymore so I guess we would travel by bus or any other option available by land.
Any recommendations as far as which places to stay? Thank you. Ania

Ah, now I understand. If it's only $25 more to start in Cambodia it sounds good. That explains the flying back to Cambodia. From Singapore there are several budget airlines that fly to Cambodia for cheap prices but it's best to check while on the road.
Early bookers for very cheap flights might be bumped or flights cancelled if they haven't sold enough tickets. There are no alternatives for flying Singapore to Cambodia. Boats are out of the question and overland you've done on the way down.
I would definitely take the fly into Cambodia - fly outof Singapore option if that's available for $200. Even if you find a very cheap flight, you still have to consider extra transfers, extra airport (departure) tax and then it won't make much difference budget wise and it is a lot easier.
Trains are definitely NOT running in Cambodia. Buses are a good way to get around if you travel between the main towns.
Places to stay? Can you be more specific? Are you referring to countries, regions, towns or guesthouses?

So much planning comes into a trip like this.
After much planning I bought a ticket into Bangkok and will return from Bangkok. But I will start by traveling north by train. So far, I plan on the following stops: Ayutthaya (2 days/1 night), Lopburi (1 day), Sukhotai take bus from Phitsanulok (will stay 1 night/1 day), Chaing Mai and Chiang Rai- have not yet decided how many days to spend in each.
Ideally, I'd like to come down from the Northeastern region all the way to Cambodia, but I noticed that the train doesn't go to the Northeast region? What is the best way to go to Cambodia from North to Northeast and what places would be worth seeing? (I guess I'll just read on)

Will 2013 Be the Year of the Ubuntu Desktop?
As I came up with the title for this article, I did so fully realizing that many of you will likely groan at the thought of yet another "tis the year of the Linux desktop" article. However unlike other articles, I have actual concrete examples of why I think that it's fair to suggest that 2013 could be a huge year for Linux on the desktop.

Ipswich, MA
After 10 years of operating a successful restaurant, the owner of Ithaki decided to update the setting with an entire redesign.
Ithaki now has a new life, combining a passion for cooking and eating. Sunlight streams in through the tall windows at the front of the restaurant. The light reflects off the brightly colored yellow and blue walls creating an atmosphere of crisp energy and tranquility. The new semi-circular bar dominates the room, inviting customers for a drink, a bite of lunch, or even dinner. The owner, Petros, says: "I want this to be a place where people eat and be happy."
Bon Appetit Magazine listed Ithaki among the top 10 Greek restaurants in the U.S., and it has been featured in the Boston Globe and Boston Phoenix. Ithaki is featured in the July 2012 issue of North Shore Magazine.
