In the Food & Sciences Department at The Florida State University, researchers have evidence that consuming watermelon daily can be a natural weapon against high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases.
Watermelon provides abundant sources of vitamin A, B6, C, fiber, potassium and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Watermelon may even help to reduce serum glucose levels, according to researchers.
Gadsden County will not be known as "The Capital of Comfort Food."
It was close though, as the tourism marketing experts were ready to package up and brand Gadsden as the perfect place to visit for culinary support and satisfaction. The kind you get from comfort food.
Lisa Garcia, with Ron Sachs Communications, spoke about the concept at the Jan. 10 meeting of the Gadsden County Tourist Development Council.
The Florida Department of Education has awarded $904,096 to Tallahassee Community College to support 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLCs) to improve K-12 student success and college readiness.
The initiative will raise achievement levels of at-risk students through research-based enrichment programs operated outside of the school day during the 2010-11 academic year and in summer 2011.
Imagine arriving at school and being greeted by all sorts of characters famous in story books. That's what happened at Stewart Street Elementary School on Oct. 7 and the 500 students from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade were giddy with excitement. Toothless kindergarten students covered their mouths and giggled as their teacher, dressed as pinocchio led them to the cafeteria for lunch.
The cafeteria ladies looked like witches in their orange and black pointed hats.
Dee Ella Evans and Clinton Hunter Sr. were married August 28, 2010, at New Bethel A.M. E. Church in Quincy, Florida. Pastor Melvin Mobley officiated. The reception was held at Carver Heights Senior Center in Havana, Florida.
The bride is the daughter of Willie and Hattie Evans of Havana, Florida. The groom is the son of the late Willie and Daisy Hunter.

READ NOW - Introduction to Recording Interfaces and Other Recording Gear
Recording Interfaces - A Buyers Guide
There is an important question to keep in mind whilst reading this thread
"What are you going to be recording and what is your budget?"
If you plan to mic up a drum kit for example there's little use buying a two input interface, just as an FYI this thread wont include microphones, but please, before you post a thread asking about what mic is best, please make a google search, you'd be surprised how easy these things are to find. The second part is pretty obvious, it's hard to spend money you don't have, but it can be worth saving, as with most music equipment you get what you pay for.
This, you don't want this. You may think you want this, other people may tell you that you want this, but they are wrong. You do not want this, this is bad, this makes kittens cry and melts ice cream, I have it on good authority that Hitler used a Jack to Mic input converter to record his guitar.
Some people may claim to get decent results with this, and they may do, but it's really not worth the trouble. You'll have latency issues, noise issues, terrible quality, nothing good will come of it, there have even been reports of this method breaking the mic port on your PC, it simply wasn't designed for it. IF YOU POST ON THIS FORUM ASKING FOR HELP WITH A MIX WHILST USING THIS METHOD YOU WILL NOT GET A RESPONSE. This is not to be cruel or heartless, there is just genuinely nothing we can do in order to make this method sound good. Normally people only get this to work through hard work and luck, neither of which we can teach you.
What's it for?
- Throwing at people you don't like
- Accidentally blowing the mic port on your PC
What's it not for?
- Anything else
Super Budget
Behringer - GUITAR LINK UCG102
Let me get this out off the bat, this thing is cheaper, super cheap, it's about as cheap as you can get, if you have any sense you will not buy this... unless you REALLY REALLY have to. It works, it'll get the guitar into your computer but it wont sound as good as more expensive models and it wont do much else.
What's it for?
- Recording an instrument input
- Demoing or Rough Recordings
What's it not for?
- Recording microphones
- Recording high quality audio
- Recording your first EP
PRO TIP: If you look around online you can normally find unbranded versions of this product (as in it doesn't say Behringer on it) for a fraction of the price.
Line6 - TONEPORT GX
Line6's TonePort/Studio Pod series is a topic of hot debate. Whilst the pre-amps line 6 use are pretty average you're also paying for the PodFarm software that comes with it, meaing that your $100 is split between a below average amp sim and a somewhat light weight box. It does the job however if you want to to record guitars.
What's it for?
- Recording an instrument input at an average level
- Recording Guitar and Bass DI for an EP
- An all inclusive package which includes amp sims.
What's it not for?
- Recording microphones
- Recording the best possible quality audio
Entry Level
Focusrite - SAFFIRE 6 / SCARLETT 2i4 (same thing in a snazzier case and USB 2.0)
This in reality is what you should buy if you can justify it, most of the regulars use this interface. This is the best USB interface on the entry level market, professional level pre amps and features without having to spend a stupid amount of money. Includes two high quality inputs.
What's it for?
- Recording Instrument Input with high quality
- Recording Microphones (Including ones requiring phantom power)
- Recording up to two inputs at once
- Recording (theoretically) a professional sounding mix
- Home recording projects
What's it not for?
- Recording in a live situation
- Recording a drum kit
Please not that the 2i2 is not the same as the 2i4. The 2i2 does not have a pad button for the inputs, which is often necessary when recording guitars DI.
Entry Level +
Tascam - US-1800
This is another entry level interface, this, whilst I have no personal experience with it, it is of a respected brand and has enough inputs for live recording and drum tracking. The pre-amps are, most likely, not as sweet sounding as those in the Saffire 6.
What's it for?
- Recording up to sixteen inputs at once
- Recording Live
- Tracking Drums
What's it not for?
- Recording one instrument in at a time
- Simple Bedroom recording
Well that's a very good question... I've never had a need to buy a professional USB interface and neither have most people on this board, if it turns out there is a super awesome pro level interface (you'd hope that'd be all of them really) then I'll add one here, but in reality the "just starting recording" guy isn't gonna need a $1000 interface.
OMG YOU SAID ENTRY LEVEL? Why is it $200 I can't afford that right now
Because you get what you pay for, just with a guitar, you wouldn't pay 50 bucks for a guitar and expect it to be good or an amp for that matter. So why would a recording interface be any different? If you can't be bothered to save up for a decent interface then I doubt you'll have the dedication to learn how to mix with it properly, no offence imaginary person. (At some point we will be adding an interface to sit between the Behringer and the Focusrite, just have to find one with a good balance of quality and cost)
Can't I just record using the USB output of my *insert cheap modelling amp here*
Technically yes, but it won't sound great. Those USB outputs are notoriously bad.
Is it better to record with Amp Sims or my amp and a microphone?
Really it's up to you, real amps tend to be better... unless you're trying to mic up a spider with a cheap brand mic, then it's much better to use amps sims, they'll sound better. If you have a Half Stack and a Sm57 however, go ahead an record with a mic, though you might want to consider some room treatment before you do.
What amp sim should I use?
I don't know, but here is a good resource
How do I record?
We have neither the time nor the patience to teach you that, I learnt a lot from youtube but there are also loads of great books around. Take some initiative guys!

DAWS - No Audacity doesn't count
Multi-track Recorders - An out the box alternative
Courtesy of GaryBillington
When setting up your home recording system, an option which should be considered is the purchasing of a purpose built multitrack recorder to use as your DAW. They provide almost all the same capability as software based DAWs, but are designed for people who just want to record themselves as a part of their music playing hobby. If you have no intention of become a professional sound engineer and just want a quick and easy way to create high quality recordings, this is arguably the easiest way to get started as all the effects and EQ options that most people will need are included, often as a pre-defined selection to allow even the least experienced user a good way of creating a professional sounding product.
Obviously there are pros and cons to consider when determining if a multitrack recorder is the right choice for your DAW.
All I want is for everyone to go to hell...

Pro: Everything you'll need in a single unit. Obviously this doesn't include cables & microphones etc. but all digital multitrack recorders are more than capable of creating a high quality finished product with no need to use any additional equipment or software. They have a wide range of EQ and effects (usually including a range of guitar amp models) meaning no additional plugins are required to make almost any instrument sound as good as possible.
Pro: A high proportion of multitrack recorders are designed for guitarists and include fully functional drum machines, usually with a bass sequencer included to allow one person to easily recreate the sound of a full band.
Con: As everything is in a single unit, any additional instrumentation you require that could be created virtually on a software based system is not easily accessed - you could still create it on your PC and transfer it to your multitracker, but if you will be doing that on a regular basis a standalone unit is obviously not the best option.
Pro: Can be purchased used to reduce the initial expenditure. This is a great thing about multitrackers - by buying second hand equipment, you can use your money to obtain significantly higher quality equipment within your desired budget than if you were buying new.
Con: Some older equipment may not use media compatible with current technology. This mainly relates to DAWs that are several years old, before technology like USB & SD cards were available. If you are purchasing an older unit, make sure it includes a CD writer or other usable method of transfering your finished product onto other media. Most equipment made in the past 5 years has utilised USB or SD technology, but obviously check this before purchasing.
Pro: Portability. As it's an all-in-one unit, a multitrack recorder can easily be transported to gigs, band practices, friend's house etc to record everything you do - you can record a whole gig in order to create a live demo album, you can record band practices to listen to yourselves and know what you're doing right/wrong, you can record jam sessions and keep a record of interesting riffs that could become a new composition.
Con: Just like with interfaces, recording a full band in a live environment requires more inputs, which means you're going to need higher spec and therefore more expensive equipment.
Something to avoid:
When people talk about how good recording on tape is, they DO NOT mean a cassette based 4 track such as the Tascam Portastudio that was available in the 80's. Although for some these may have a certain antique charm, they serve no practical purpose in today's society. Recording to cassette is NOT the same as recording to tape. When people talk about the glory days of recording to tape, they are talking about professional equipment using 2" tape, not equipment like this.
Basic equipment:
Tascam DP-004
Spec: http://tascam.com/product/dp-004/
Image: http://www.ccmusicshop.com/productphotos/dp004.jpg
Simultaneous recording tracks: 2
Playback tracks: 4
Although this can be a useful tool for use as a musical notebook and claims to record at CD quality, it's lack of EQ and effects mean it is no more than that - a musical notebook. It can record 2 tracks at once using either the built in microphones or the mic/line inputs so it can be a useful tool, but it isn't recommended for use as a home studio.
Zoom H4n
Spec: http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h4n/
Image: http://www.mveducation.com/assets/products/61412_l .jpgcam
Simultaneous recording tracks: 1
Playback tracks: 4
Much like the DP-004, this is nothing more than a musical notebook, but with the added advantages of being smaller as well as including some effects and amp models. It can also be used as a interface, so if you come up with something useful you could use it in conjunction with a PC based system to create a more complete product.
Entry Level:
Tascam DP-008
Spec: http://tascam.com/product/dp-008/
Image: http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/jan11/images/tas cam_dp008_01.jpg
Simultaneous recording tracks: 2
Playback tracks: 8
This is little more than the DP-004 with extra tracks and some EQ/effects capability. It can be used to create good quality recordings so long as you are only using very basic instrumentation.
Boss BR-80
Spec: http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?Prod uctId=1167
Image: http://www.mannysonlinemusicstore.com.au/wp-conten t/uploads/2011/11/Boss-BR80-Micro-BR.jpg
Simultaneous recording tracks: 2
Playback tracks: 8
For such a cheap piece of kit, this has excellent specs - it's almost a shame to list it as entry level equipment, but as it's cheaper than the Tascam DP-008 it fits into this budget range perfectly. It includes virtual tracks, a good range of EQ & effects as well as a built in rhythm section making it the ideal solution for a guitarist wanting to take a first step into the world of recording.
Fostex MR8 MkII
Spec: http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/products/M R-8_Mk2.shtml
Image: http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/quality,85/mr8mk2 -63af8fa004dd74276932f382eb1e9537.jpg
Simultaneous recording tracks: 2
Playback tracks: 8
I used a Fostex 8 track for about 10 years and it served me well. It was able to create high quality recordings and was solidly built & reliable. Although the menu system isn't particularly well organised, once you've found your way around it all effects, EQ, and amp models etc are presented in editable presets that are designed to be easy to use. It's biggest weaknesses are it's lack of an intergrated drum machine and the need to keep tracks 7 & 8 free for track bouncing prior to creating a final version of your recording effectively making this a 6 track rather than an 8 track.
Entry level +
Fostex MR16HD
Spec: http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/archive_pr oducts/MR-16HDCD.shtml
Image: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AVqwcasGL. jpg
Simultaneous recording tracks: 4
Playback tracks: 16
This is essentially exactly the same as the MR8, but bigger. Barring the lack of a drum machine, this would be a good purchase for someone wanting the simplest possible method of recording with a higher level of tracks. Although it's recently been discontinued, this would be a great used purchase, alternatively it's replacement (when released) will fill this gap nicely.
Intermediate / Advanced equipment:
With multitrack recorders, size matters - bigger is almost always better. 8 tracks is the absolute minimum required for most home recording projects. (eg 2 for drums, 1 for bass, 2 for rhythm guitar, 1 lead guitar & 1 vocals - it soon adds up). If you can afford more tracks, you should buy the bigger kit. Obviously these recorders all feature virtual tracks which can be used to increase this capability, but the more tracks you have the better your final product will be. At this level as a general rule I would consider anything with 8 tracks to be intermediate, anything with 16 or more tracks to be advanced.
Tascam 2488
Spec: http://tascam.com/product/2488neo/
Image: http://www.wiser-rocker.com/blog/wp-content/upload s/2010/05/Tascam-2488neo.bmp
Simultaneous recording tracks: 8
Playback tracks: 24
If this included a drum machine, it would be the ultimate standalone home recording device. As it is, this is probably the closest you can buy to a professional studio in an all-in-one package, with more effects, EQ, amp & cab models etc than most home recording hobbyists would ever dream of using. When you compare the price to other equipment listed here (especially the Boss units), it's amazing how much Tascam have managed to include.
Boss BR800
Spec: http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?Prod uctId=1068
Image: http://achamilton.co.uk/Boss/BR-800-front.JPG
Simultaneous recording tracks: 4
Playback tracks: 8
Boss BR1200CD
Spec: http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/BR-1200CD/

Simultaneous recording tracks: 8
Playback tracks: 16
Boss's multitrack DAWs are high spec, all include a drum machine & bass sequencer and receive excellent reviews. However, I have no personal experience of them due to the price - they are around double the price of the equivalent equipment from other manufacturers, none of the research I've ever done has justified this.
Hybrid equipment

*16 tracks can be recorded at once by linking two separate units via a USB cable.
For people who like the idea of having an all-in-one multitracker but also want the flexibility that software based systems provides, this is the ideal solution. It can be used on it's own, but it is also designed to act as an interface and controller for whatever software DAW you have chosen. The R8 & R24 also include a drum machine & bass sequencer, but for some reason this was left off the R16.
Although it doesn't have the same level of in built capability for EQ & effects etc that the Tascam 2488 does, the fact that it is designed to work in conjunction with your PC mean any shortcomings you may find with the EQ & effects that are included can be rectified using a software plugin.
For people who want a multitracker to start their recording hobby but who fear they may outgrow it in time, this is the perfect solution as it provides the best of both worlds - standalone multitracker and interface/software controller all in one.

What Softwares should I use to records?" by bringing up why Reaper is pretty much suggested 99.9% of the time. Considering every time someone asks, everyone blindly says Reaper without really giving a reason, heres why:
1. Price: This is probably the biggest reason why Reaper is recommended. Outside of software included with interfaces, lets break down the pricing on the common DAWs:
Pro Tools 10: $600
Cubase 6: $500
Ableton Live: $500
Presonus Studio One 2.0: $400
Reaper: $60!!!!!
Of course, thats if you make less than $20,000 a year which most of us wont. Even then, the full price license is still $225 which is almost half as much as Studio One. On top of that, you get a 30 day free trial without having to use an iLok or anything like that.
2. Flexibility: One thing thats impressed me about Reaper looking in the from the outside is how flexible the DAW is. You can completely change the look and feel of the DAW to tailor it to your needs. There are hundreds of Themes available, some that even look like Pro Tools, Cubase & whatnot.
To extend that, it also has support for VST plugins. There are THOUSANDS of FREE VSTs, most of which model plugins that will cost anywhere between $20-$500 on their own (I'm looking at you Waves). This is a plus to anyone, especially those starting out.
3. Tutorials & Community: I know, every DAW has tutorials and such but I've found Reaper not only has a ton, but they're pretty good. You can find a tutorial for pretty much everything you'd need to get going with Reaper. Also, since most people on here use Reaper, help is just one post away (Just as long as you google it first).
Now for some questions:
Q: I recently bought X interface and it includes X software. Should I use Reaper or X software?
A: If you got a program with your interface, give it a shot and see if you like it. Though, except for the more expensive interfaces, the software that comes with your interface is usually crippled and will not include everything the full version does or limit the amount of tracks you can record. If you like it, you can get a discounted full version of the DAW. I think the only one I wouldn't recommend is Pro Tools Essentials since its 8 tracks which is pretty useless for a full band setup.
Q: Why don't you suggest Pro Tools? Its the Industry Standard!
A: Yes, but your bedroom isn't the Industry. Most of you will never need to use more than Reaper for your home recordings. Besides, with Pro Tools, its a HUGE moneypit! You're not only looking at $600 just for the software, Pro Tools doesn't have native VST support so all those free VST plugins are out of the question unless you buy the VSTtoRTAS program for an extra $100.
Q: What about Audacity? Its not listed
A: Good question. Audacity doesn't come anywhere near the power of Reaper. Audacity is very limited and is really only good for voice recording.

USB Microphones, a waste of money for long term use
(Or why you still need to buy an Interface)
Courtesy of Lockwolf
For the past few years, USB condenser microphones have been popping onto the market left and right. A good chunk of budget microphones by major manufactures have been made into USB microphones to get the home studio started for less money. While all these are great for those who want a cheap way to start without having to drop a lot of money, those looking to have a long term studio are going to end up wasting money on these USB mics. Why? Well, let me show you:
1. Just because its the same as a Non-USB mic, it doesn't mean its the same mic: You'd think that a company making a USB version of an XLR mic would use the same components & such but this doesn't seem to be the case. I took a look at Audio-Technica's website to look at the AT2020, a common budget mic that has a USB and XLR version. Right away, I noticed they're completely different mics based on the Frequency Response. Here's the response for the AT2020 XLR and USB (XLR on top):
Now what does this all mean? If you look, anything above 9k starts dropping off very steeply on the USB while the standard XLR starts dropping off around 14k. Most couch audio engineers will say that anything above 9k doesn't matter but if you're recording strings, cymbals & vocals, you're going to miss out on some core frequencies that will add a ton to your sound. Also, thinking you could just EQ some high end back in isn't going to work.
2. The A/D Conversion is terrible: A core part of the recording path is the Analog to Digital conversion. This is how the audio goes from the microphone to whatever DAW you're using. Between the microphone & your computer, its converted from an Analog natural sound to Digital 1's & 0's. Every audio interface & USB microphone has one built in since there is no way to get it into your PC otherwise.
Since most of these USB mics are made with budget in mind, the A/D is usually made very cheaply to keep the cost around the same price of the XLR counterpart. This will lead to a loss of quality in the signal and is probably responsible for a lot of the EQ frequency response differences seen above.
3. You can't upgrade your USB mic or your studio as easily: So you bought a USB mic & you've been recording for a while. You feel the need to upgrade, so now you can just rush out and buy a new mic, right? Wrong! If you've gone the USB route, if you ever plan on upgrading your studio, you're not going to be able to use it anymore. You're going to most likely switch to an audio interface which only has XLR or line ins. Most DAWs will not recognize your audio interface & USB mic at the same time since they are both considered audio interfaces.
With an audio interface, if you want to change mics, you can just plug it straight in. You can use any XLR mic with any audio interface as long as it has an XLR in. Got a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 and want to plug in a SM57? No problem. Wanna plug a $4000 Neumann U87 into your 2i4? Plug away. Want to plug an eV RE-320 in? Yeah, you get the point. You aren't limited to one mic and can expand as your needs grow with an audio interface
But do I really need to buy an interface an mic to record? I don't have money to: No you don't. If all you can afford is a USB mic, you'll be able to get by. Its just that if you're looking for something for the long term, you're either going to end up selling it very quickly to upgrade or it'll sit in the corner gathering dust when you decide its time to move up.

So what is the difference between firewire and USB interfaces exactly? I know nothing about these so if you could help me out a little. Somebody suggested I get this http://www.guitarcenter.com/TC-Elec...Desktop+Konnekt
but here you're suggesting the Focusrite - SAFFIRE 6. I just plan on recording guitar, bass, and maybe vocals so which would be better and easier to work with?

Not to take anything away from you chemical it's a great thread...but damn that is a good multitrack write up. A lot of people (including me) have very little experience or knowledge on multitracks. I think it's good we have something to reference now when people ask about interfaces.
+1 for both of you.
EDIT: for Joshua: FireWire and USB are just types of connections at higher inputs FireWire has more bandwidth and will allow less latency. If you are tracking less than or equal to 4 (I have heard 6 on nice systems) inputs at a time it really doesn't matter which you have.
That said the Saffire 6 is best in that price range.

Must be pretty new. I never knew TC Electronics was making an interface. I mean, you could be the first of us to try it but judging from the looks, its not that impressive. Considering you're paying the same price as the Saffire 6 for no built in MIDI input, one Mic Preamp and something that's Firewire when realistically it could easily be done with no problem over USB, its the name.
As far as speed and what not, heres what it comes down to:
USB 1.1: 12 Mbit\s
USB 2.0: 480 Mbit\s
Firewire 400: 400 Mbit\s
Firewire 800: 800 Mbit\s
Mbit\s = Megabits a second (1/8 of a Megabyte for those not that techy)
In theory, a USB 2.0 interface is as good as a Firewire 400 interface though that never is the case. Firewire 400 is about 25% faster despite USB 2.0 having a higher bandwith. USB 2.0 can do 480 Mbit\s but it cant do a constant 480 like firewire can. Also, with USB, unless you're using a dedicated card, you're going to notice lag due to USB Keyboards, Mouses, Portable Hard Drives and whatnot. I have a Logitech G15 keyboard gathering dust because I can't run that and my Mbox at the same time.
Just something I did some research into, feel free to use it.

Okay, so I bought the Focusrite Saffire but I have no idea how to get it to work. I plugged my guitar into one of the inputs, but how do I start recording with it now?

What DAW are you using?
You need to make sure your DAW is set up to use the interface as the sound device, make sure the track is set up to take input from the interface and make sure the track is armed to record.

Trying Ableton Live Lite since that is what came with it. I am pretty sure it is set up for it to use the interface as the sound device, not exactly sure how to do the other stuff. Since I'm plugging my guitar directly into the interface do I need some kind of amp vst or whatever too?

Yes, but you should be able to hear the guitar anyway, just clean.
Though I can't really help you with Ableton, it's horrible to work with and is just confusing. You'd be best recording something like DI guitar in Ableton or something.

Yup, reaper is SUPER easy to set up.
All you need to do is select ASIO under devices, then select the Saffire.
Then it should be as simple as arming a track and making sure the monitoring is turned on on the track, then it should work.

Apogee doesn't make shit gear. I personally think any bad review on their stuff is people not knowing how to use it.

The Duet 2 is a great unit, anyone who says otherwise is either using it wrong or doesn't know what they're talking about. The conversion and preamps in it are better than the Ensemble, which costs $2000.

Ableton is easy as hell, TS you need to arm the audio track (activate that red dot) and select the correct input (is usually already selected)
Now if you are just plugin your guitar directly you will get the dry sound of your clean pickups, you need vstis running or connect your guitar to your amp and mic it.
Aren't we derailing the thread through these questions?

Some grass-roots supporters of outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton have formed a super PAC to help a potential Clinton presidential campaign in 2016 — even though Clinton says she hasn't decided her plans.
A super PAC called "Ready for Hillary" was registered Friday with the Federal Election Commission, and the group plans to launch its website in the coming weeks.
It's chaired by the founder of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project at George Washington University, Allida Black. As a super PAC, the group can't coordinate with a candidate.
Clinton was asked about a possible 2016 campaign during a Tuesday town hall meeting. She says she isn't thinking about that now and is looking forward to, in her words, "catching up on about 20 years of sleep deprivation."

Want to support Movember but, alas, physically unable to grow a beard? Follow the simple steps below to create whimsical moustache nails.
What you'll need:
- Pale nail polish (I used OPI's "Let Them Eat Rice Cake")
- Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in black
- Clear top coat
The how-to:
- Paint your nails with two coats of pale-colored nail polish and apply a clear top coat. Once nails are completely dry, use the nail pen and, at the center of the nail, draw two connecting side-by-side dots.
- Place two very small dots on either side of the outer corner of the nail.
- On either side, draw a curvy, U-shaped line between the bottom center of the larger dot and the smaller dot.
- Again on both sides, draw a curved line from the top of the larger dot to the smaller dot.
- Fill in the moustache.

The MIMER_STORE_WEB Schema
This schema provides some of the SQL functionality required to create a Web-based application to order items.
The ident-name in the AUTHORIZATION clause is currently restricted to be the name of the current ident.
The basic idea behind a Web application would be two tabs, one for Music and the other for Books. The relevant SEARCH routine provides a list of matches (one of the details returned is the ITEM_ID). The user would then have the ability to drill down to display further information (use MIMER_STORE_MUSIC.TitleDetails and MIMER_STORE_MUSIC.TrackDetails for music items and MIMER_STORE_BOOK.TITLE_DETAILS for book items.
If an item is selected for purchase (the quantity should be prompted for) and MIMER_STORE_WEB.ADD_TO_BASKET used to order the item (a blank SESSION_ID defines a new session). Once a session has been created the basket can be viewed using MIMER_STORE_WEB.VIEW_BASKET.
When an order has been completed the user needs to be identified by their e-mail and password (MIMER_STORE_WEB.VALIDATE_CUSTOMER) and then a call should be made to MIMER_STORE_WEB.PLACE_ORDER.
Table name
SESSIONS Maps an external session identifier with an internal order identifier.Keeps track of the date/time that the 'basket' was last accessed.
PSM Routines
PSM routine name
SESSION_EXPIRATION_PERIOD Function that returns an interval data type that defines the period in which a basket should be accessed. DELETE_BASKET Procedure to delete a specified basket session; alternatively a session of '*' will delete all 'baskets' that have expired.Note that the procedure deletes entries in the ORDERS table and relies on foreign key definitions in referencing tables to tidy up. ORDER_ID Function to return the order identifier associated with a specified session identifier.Raises an exception if the 'basket' hasn't been used within the period specified by SESSION_EXPIRATION_PERIOD. VALIDATE_BASKET Function that uses the ORDER_ID function to validate that the basket is still active.Uses an exception handler to catch any SESSION_INVALID exception raised by ORDER_ID. The exception handler will call DELETE_BASKET to remove a basket that has expired. ADD_TO_BASKET Function to place an order for a quantity of a specific item. If the session identifier is provided, then the order is placed against the relevant order identifier; if the session identifier is blank, then a new basket is created.The function returns the current session identifier. VIEW_BASKET Result set procedure that lists the items ordered.Uses a GROUP BY clause. Calls the BARCODE procedure, which is itself a result set procedure. VALIDATE_CUSTOMER Function to identify a customer by their e-mail address and password. PLACE_ORDER Procedure to order the contents of the basket. Procedure takes two in parameter: session identifier and customer identifier.Returns an order number, total price in euros, the local currency for the customer and the price in that local currency.
There is a statement trigger that will fire after an update to the SESSIONS table. The trigger is designed to prevent any changes to the values of the SESSION_NO and ORDER_ID columns. This demonstrates that a trigger can be used to abort an SQL update operation.
A synonym is created by MIMER_STORE for the SESSIONS tables in the MIMER_STORE_WEB schema.
A new user ident, MIMER_WEB, is created to allow Web-applications execute privilege on certain of the PSM routines.

We caught our first glimpse of Honda's Acura NSX replacement earlier in the week, and now, adding to our 2009 Porsche 911 'Ring footage from earlier, the guys at Bridge To Gantry have snapped these new shots. They think there's a high-revving V10 under the hood, but whatever it is it's gonna be fast. How do we know this? Because Honda CEO Takeo Fukai has demanded that the development team make the NSX faster than both the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus LF-A. That would mean a Nurburgring lap time better than the GT-R's 7:29, though the LF-A may be even faster than that. Of course, the NSX having the 5.5-liter V10's 550 HP connected to Honda's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive has to help.

GRAND JUNCTION — Immigration reform advocates and business owners held rallies around the state Monday to promote a "buy-cott" of businesses that promote comprehensive immigration reform.
Nearly 400 businesses, ranging from a ski area to neighborhood restaurants, have signed up for the buy-cott campaign that will run Sunday- Aug. 10. During that time, consumers are being urged to spend at the businesses that display posters advertising their support for immigration reform with a path to citizenship.
"We are asking people to vote with their wallets," Colorado Mesa University Spanish professor Tom Acker said, speaking to a crowd of supporters Monday morning in Grand Junction.
Buy-cott rallies were being held at the same time in Denver, Pueblo and Glenwood Springs.
The buy-cott was organized by a number of groups, including the Colorado Main Street Alliance, the Colorado Progressive Coalition, the NAACP, the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition and Bend the Arc for Justice.
"This is more like a positive approach. We think it is very important that voices be heard in a positive light," said Juan Gallegos of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition.
One business owner who signed on to the buy-cott said it was the first time in the 35 years she has been in the country after emigrating from Mexico that she felt compelled to take part in an activist cause.
"I see a lot of people who struggle to get jobs and education. I see them struggle so much. It would be easier if these hard-working people were citizens," said Maria Maestas, owner of the Las Marias restaurant in Grand Junction, one of 198 businesses to sign on to the buy-cott in the 3rd Congressional District.
The event in Glenwood Springs was held at the downtown bike and ski shop owned by Sunlight Mountain Resort, a buy-cott backer.
Sophia Clark of the Association of Youth United in Action said about 40 businesses in the Roaring Fork Valley have signed up for the buy-cott.
"Very few businesses said no. We got to see how people feel about this issue and how much they support it," she said.
Another 160 businesses in the Denver area have signed on to the buy-cott, and representatives of the groups behind the buy-cott said they will still be contacting businesses in the next week to have more participants by the time the buy-cott begins.
The buy-cott backers are in the process of creating an online list of all businesses participating in the buy-cott at : costatewidebuycott.word press.com.

Comments On Jan 10, 2013:Purchased the new stem after crashing and bending the stock one. Looks great, the chrome finish is awesome. If you are a do it yourself kind of guy its an easy replacement. The only reason why I give this product a 4 stars is because you have to buy the lonestar mounts which makes this replacement a little pricey. The new instrument dash fits great holding all of the stock lights and key switch.

Comments On Sep 19, 2010:This is a great replacement to the OEM. I ride a 400EX and this product is longer then the OEM stem, which raises the handlebars to a much more comfortable position for me. (5'11")
You will need the associated clamp sold seperately and in my case I had to lenghthen my front brake line.

Comments On Oct 16, 2009:My son has a 07 Honda 400ex we order the Lone Star steering stem and handle bar clamps. We were very pleased with the quality of each item directly out of the box. We attempted to install the new steering stem, handle bar clamps, and a pair of pro- taper handle bars. It didn't take long before we realized that the stock cables and brake hose could not be mounted on the handle bars. Each of the cables and the brake line were about 3" to short. We contacted the dealer, parts unlimited, and several local vendors with no success. It wasn?t until I reached Terry Cables and Motion Pro out of CA both of which could assist by fabricating the line and cables. Just wish there was a little forewarning from the Rocky Mtn prior to purchase.

About Madagascar
USAID has worked for nearly 30 years to help the people of Madagascar accomplish their development goals in the face of ongoing challenges. As a result of the March 2009 military coup, the U.S. Government suspended all non-humanitarian assistance and direct assistance to the Government of Madagascar. However, following credible, democratic elections and the installation of a democratically elected government in January 2014, coup restrictions were lifted in May 2014, permitting the resumption of direct assistance to the Government.
Although there have been impressive results in assisting people living in some of the poorest, most remote areas, these gains could be reversed due to the ongoing political crisis and declining economic conditions. Read More

The title comes from the fact that most people live for the weekend. They just do their best to get through Monday-Thursday, and then they change their attitude and level of happiness on Friday. I'm only a few pages into Every Day A Friday and I enjoy the simplicity of Osteen's writing, because he isn't trying to impress the reader with big words or even deep theological thoughts. He is simply bringing out one great point and that is the fact that we all need to start living in the moment. Matt and I have one thing in common and that is we are always looking to conquer the next big event in life. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with setting big goals...we can't let that keep us from enjoying where we are today. Like many of you, Matt and I both have small children and great spouses, and yet there are way too many times we catch ourselves not focus on them. Why? Because we are distracted from the present by the what ifs of the future. In our minds we are already working on the next big thing, worrying about the next contract, dreaming of another promotion, or simply in another world.
Thought for The Day: Stop living for the weekend and look around you for the gifts and blessings of today.

Monument police are investigating an armed robbery that happened late Tuesday night at the Walgreens on Highway 105.
Investigators say just before 10 p.m. a white male entered the Walgreens store located at 265 Hwy 105 in Monument.
Upon entering the store the suspect approached a cash register and, while holding a handgun, demanded that the clerk behind the register give him the money from the register. Once given the money, the suspect left the store. No one was hurt during the incident.
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s, approximately 6 feet tall and 160-185 lbs, with sandy brown hair and acne on his forehead. He was wearing blue jeans, a black hoodie with hood pulled up and the word "Colorado" printed in yellow on the front, and carrying a black backpack. His face was concealed by a red bandanna.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Monument Police Department at (719) 481-3253.

He does not speak, he laughs over and over again while honking his horns, moving his mouth, rocking his head and slightly swaying his body. Plug him in or use 4AA batteries to operate the motion sensor, sounds, moving mouth and LED lights. You don't want this fearsome clown at a child's birthday party, but he will be the hit at any Halloween event.

Hurricane Sandy destroyed the homes and livelihoods of many residents of Rockaway, NY. But before that, the Rockaways were young yet, a burgeoning and beautiful community still in construction of its own unique New York identity, and Chris Romulo was instrumental in bringing together that community through his gym CROM Martial Training. The gym wasn't just a place to train the brilliant art of Muay Thai, but a place where Chris, who is a spokesperson for anti-bullying advocacy both locally and nationally, could help keep local kids off the streets through the Muay Thai Preservation Project. But Sandy destroyed the gym, leaving not just Chris, his wife Sarah, their children, and the CROM MT family without a home, but countless Rockaway kids without a safe haven and place of respite. "There really aren't many options for the youth out here in Rockaway," says Sarah. "Kids come in and use our training facility to build their minds, bodies and spirits, to give them tools to use in the outside world."
We here at VMAN love to support a good cause, especially when it intersects with the arts—typically they're visual in nature, but we're also huge advocates of the martial arts. When Justin Blair and The Friday Night Fights Muay Thai team heard the news about CROM, they put together a benefit that we wholeheartedly support. This Saturday, December 15th, NYC's pre-eminent Muay Thai downtown throwdowns will be entirely devoted to rebuilding CROM MT and the Romulo family legacy. The night will feature a full fight card, a silent auction, and other fundraising activities. The event is called Fight For Rockaway, so come out and show your support this friday and fight not with your fists. In the immortal words of Chris Romulo: "All it takes is heart."

(KSDK Sports) -- It appears the Blues are emerging out of their rut as they are now riding a three game victory streak following their win in Vancouver on Sunday.
T.J. Oshie and Andy McDonald scored during the shootout phase, and the St. Louis Blues beat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, at Rogers Arena.
Jake Allen, made his third NHL start, made 28 stops to help the Blue sweep a three-game road trip. McDonald and Oshie also scored during regulation and Patrik Berglund also lit the lamp for St. Louis, which also topped Calgary and Detroit during the trek.
Tonight the Blues are back home to face the San Jose Sharks who will try and stop there own free fall. The Sharks fast start to the shrunken season appears to have evaportated since the start of February. The Sharks have lost seven straight and are still looking for their first win in February.
Jake Allen has certainly got the bosses attention when it counted most. With the Blues losing Jaroslav Halak to injury and co-starter Brian Elliott growing inconsistent, Allen not only stepped up to fill in, but helped end a losing streak, which is impressive for any rookie.
He had a 2.58 goals-against average on the road trip and made 28 saves in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win against the Canucks.
But as NHL.com reports, with Halak now healthy, it's up to Blues coach Ken Hitchcock to find playing time for both - and he says he will. St. Louis will visit Colorado on Wednesday night.
"(Allen) has really helped stabilize us," Hitchcock said. "He's just a solid guy. There's no holes in his game. It's a big step for us."
Also Blues fans should keep an eye on Blues winger Alexander Steen. Steen is red-hot right now with four goals and eight points over the past five games.

- Rockies dismiss Carney Lansford, Rich Dauer from coaching staff
- Frei: Rockies' front office should be saying farewell, not just Jim Tracy
- Rockies players praise Jim Tracy, are surprised by resignation
- Oct 7:
- Jim Tracy says he's not "right man" for job, walks away from Rockies
- Mark Kiszla: Rockies manager needs to look out for himself
- Oct 5:
- Jim Tracy's future with Rockies remains in limbo after meeting provides no resolution
Who will be next man up?
After mulling over an offer to return as Rockies manager for 48 hours, Jim Tracy decided Sunday he was no longer the "right man for the job." So, the Rockies are conducting their first managerial search since Jim Leyland resigned in 1999. Both Clint Hurdle and Tracy took over during the season. Denver Post Rockies beat writer Troy E. Renck looks at an early list of potential replacements, with bench coach Tom Runnells and Triple-A manager Stu Cole confirmed as in-house candidates. No other potential candidate has yet been identified.
Tom Runnells: Managed in the major leagues in 1991-92 in Montreal. Has run an NL team. He has a long-standing relationship with Bill Geivett, the Rockies' director of major-league operations. Grew up in Greeley.
Stu Cole: Has advanced through the minor leagues with the Rockies' organization. The front office has praised him privately for a few years. Has managed the Triple-A team since Runnells moved up from the Sky Sox.
Sandy Alomar Jr: Played for the Rockies. Father worked as a coach in the organization. Served briefly as Indians interim manager before Terry Francona got the job Saturday.
Ryne Sandberg: Hall of Famer built résumé managing in Triple-A. Was promoted to Phillies third-base coach last week. But Phillies said they would not interfere with him pursuing a managerial job.
Jason Giambi: Rockies veteran wants to keep playing but would retire if he got a shot to manage. His opinion is valued by the Rockies' front office, but they would not want him to take over without first being a coach. As were the Cardinals' Mike Matheny and White Sox's Robin Ventura in their playing days, Giambi is a player who is respected by teammates.

Sleep depravity not only affects your mood and energy levels but can also intensify insulin resistance.
Researchers have found new health risks associated with little sleep that connects to obesity and type II diabetes.
A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine showed that lack of sleep can hinder fat cells from responding to insulin, the hormone responsible for controlling the metabolism in relation to diabetes.
Scientists studied seven young men and women over the span of eight days allowing them to sleep normally for only four nights. For the remaining nights, subjects were restricted to receiving 4.5 hours of sleep and were placed on a limited diet to allow scientists to monitor their caloric intake.
Blood tests showed that the participants' insulin sensitivity dropped by an average of 16 percent after being sleep deprived for four days. Test results also showed that their fat cell sensitivity to insulin lowered by 30 percent, which is similar to levels experienced by someone who is obese or diabetic.
"This is the equivalent of metabolically aging someone 10 to 20 years just from four nights of partial sleep restriction, said Matthew Brady, the study's lead author and a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago. "Fat cells need sleep, and when they don't get enough sleep, they become metabolically groggy."
Scientists examined the fat cells even further through a biopsy and found that it took almost three times as much insulin for the cell to release an enzyme known as Akt. Akt is essential in controlling blood sugar levels.

(Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Lakers will try to halt a two-game losing
slide on Sunday night when they welcome the Denver Nuggets to the Staples
The Lakers lost a "road" game to their fellow Staples Center residents, the
Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. They also fell to the Philadelphia 76ers
on New Year's Day.
It was after the Sixers loss Kobe Bryant said his team was "old as
(expletive)." He's doing his part. Bryant leads the NBA in scoring and posted
38 points and five steals on Friday against the Clippers.
Dwight Howard was fantastic as well with 21 points and 15 rebounds. He fouled
out, as did Metta World Peace, who did not enjoy a strong game against his
fellow Los Angeles players.
World Peace, who returned to the starting lineup, and Pau Gasol combined for
four points on 2-of-12 shooting.
The Clippers built a 16-point lead after the third quarter, but the Lakers won
the final quarter by 11. There was too much Chris Paul late and the Lakers
slid two games below .500.
"Moral victories right now aren't good," said head coach Mike D'Antoni. "We
did come back, Kobe had a great game, but it wasn't enough."
The Nuggets have won four of their last six, including a 110-91 victory
Saturday night, at home, over the Utah Jazz. Denver's starting unit was
fantastic with Danilo Gallinari leading the way with 27 points.
Kenneth Faried had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Andre
Iguodala netted 18 and Ty Lawson 14.
Nuggets head coach George Karl was able to rest some of his key rotation guys
in the fourth quarter with a huge lead. It was an impressive rebound
performance after a disappointing home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on
Thursday night.
"It was good for us to not only just get the win, but to get the win and give
us some confidence going into (Sunday)," Iguodala said. "It might be a really
important game for us to get a good start. (The Lakers) will be waiting for us
and they've been struggling, so we know they want to play well, especially at
The Nuggets will be playing their NBA-leading 23rd road game on Sunday. They
are 8-14 away from home.
The two teams split their two games this season with each winning on their
home court. The Nuggets have lost three straight and four of five to the
Lakers in Los Angeles.

Genesis Forest Enables Automaker to Offer Carbon Offsets and More
[Silver Spring, MD – November 19, 2008] Carbonfund.org, the nation's leading nonprofit carbon offset provider, announced today that it is partnering with Hyundai Motor America to offset the emissions of all 2009 Hyundai Genesis cars sold in 2009. This innovative program will help to reforest and conserve 3,000 acres of tropical forest in Brazil, a country that has seen rapid deforestation over the last 50 years. The Hyundai Genesis Forest will provide the carbon offsets to the Genesis line as well as create local economic opportunities, improve the regional environment, and help preserve biodiversity.
The Hyundai Genesis Forest Project will be located in Tocantins, Brazil, and is being designed to meet the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards. This project will serve as a model of sustainability for the surrounding region by balancing the needs of the local communities while helping to solve the global problem of climate change. To learn more visit http://hyundai.carbonfund.org.
In addition to supporting the Genesis Forest Project and offsetting the emission of all 2009 Genesis's, Hyundai has also committed to:
• Empower members of the Hyundai community to calculate and offset their personal carbon footprint, through a website to be managed by Carbonfund.org.
• Financial support for the work of the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA), the international leader setting the accepted standards of land-based carbon offset projects with multi-faceted environmental and social benefits.
• Sponsor the Hyundai Climate Grants Program in conjunction with the CCBA to award three $35,000 grants to developers of similar projects creating new forestry projects that meet the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards.
"We realize this is a small step toward making a positive impact on climate change," said Justin Osborne, national manager of brand strategy for Hyundai. "As the fifth largest car company in the world we are proud of our efforts to develop cars that are better for people and the planet. Hyundai is introducing new technologies and is raising the bar for fuel efficient vehicles which will be introduced over the next several years to car buyers all over the world.

Well looks like this is the start of the lineup for Primavera Sound. I'll be there. Will you?
I want to do this.
For those video handicapped
Yeah, this is pretty appealing.
95% certain I'll have to miss it this year, because I'll be climbing mountains in Scotland that week.
Killer lineup as always.
Are we taking bets on which headliner cancels? Between MBV and Wu Tang it's hard to pick.
well, it's at least worth thinking about it for a moment...
climbing in foggy, rainy, cold Scotland is also a nice percpective, though.
I mean, instead of warm sunny weather, having booths near the seaside, great bands all day&night long, cerveza...
we'll miss you Dan.
see you there!
I will NOT miss Dan.
The beer I will be drinking in Scotland is roughly 1000% better than that Spanish Astra headache beer. And if I cared about weather I wouldn't be going to Scotland in the first place.
However I will miss the lovely city, great festival, and fine company.
Except Andy.
Damn that's a fine lineup. I am pretty convinced that I might have to go.
really rad. crossing my fingers i'll be able to afford it.
