RICOH SG 7100DN GELJET offers rare blend of speed, quality, affordability and compact footprint
Malvern, PA, October 22, 2013 - Combining business-class quality and inkjet convenience, Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced the 11" x 17" RICOH SG 7100DN GELJET® color printer, ideal for home offices, small businesses and smaller departments in larger companies. The SG 7100DN combines the speed of laser printers with the compact footprint and affordability of an inkjet printer. It features innovative quick-drying viscous ink that produces less bleed through on inexpensive plain paper while its smear-, fade- and water-resistant properties help create durable impressions on envelopes, tickets and other documents that are subject to harsher conditions and handling. Its wide, permanent print heads produce prints at speeds up to 29 pages per minute. The SG 7100DN also brings 11" x 17" color printing to the cost-conscious inkjet market, making it suitable as a small office's sole printer or an affordable complement to a black-and-white laser multifunction printer. The multitasking SG 7100DN can be used to print standard business documents like invoices and contracts, as well specialty documents such as medical diagnostic images, water-resistant restaurant menus, and custom wedding invitations and place cards. An optional 100-Sheet Multi-Bypass Tray can be added for printing up to 12" x 51" for banners and signs on 140 lb. Index.Despite its ability to handle A3 paper, the printer is compact and energy-efficient. At 21 inches x 20 inches x 8 inches, its footprint is much smaller than many A3 laser printers, and a full 28 percent smaller and 23 percent lighter than its Ricoh predecessor. It uses a mere five percent of a laser printer's energy."The SG 7100DN directly addresses a wide range of unmet needs among businesspeople today," said Jason Dizzine, Vice President, Technology Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "It's the perfect middle ground between high-end laser capabilities and consumer-class inkjet convenience."The SG 7100DN is available now for an MSRP of $1,299.

Course Description :
This course will focus on recent novels that have been described by the term "magical realism." Magical realism engages the usual devises of narrative realism, but with a difference: the supernatural is an ordinary matter, an everyday occurrence, accepted and integrated into the rationality and materiality of literary realism.

For golf lovers, the Lido of Venice offers '18 holes' immersed in a surprising historic natural setting among the old military fortifications and unspoiled and pristine nature just minutes from the sea, dotted by poplars and sea pines.
The greens at the Golf Club at the lido of Venice were opened in 1930 at the request of the American magnate, Henry Ford, a frequent visitor to the Venetian coast. This led Conte Giuseppe Volpi to create one of the best courses so he could play during his Italian holidays.
Going from nine to eighteen holes after the war, a welcoming Club House was added to course with a restaurant. This allowed guests to spend a pleasant day outdoors and sample delicious Venetian dishes in a charming setting.

New Smyrna Beach's Bryant calls Florida State visit 'great'
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9:40 p.m.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Davarez Bryant said it was an unreal experience to slip on a college's football jersey.
"It's just crazy because it is something I never thought I would do … to put on two big-time schools' jerseys," the New Smyrna Beach defensive end said Sunday night just hours after returning from an official visit to Florida State.
But that is exactly what the 6-foot-4, 235-pound Bryant did the past two weeks, and he has the pictures -- posted side-by-side -- on his Facebook account to prove it. In the picture to the left, Bryant has on an Iowa State jersey taken during his official visit to the school two weeks ago. To the right, he sports a Florida State jersey.
He said he will decide which of the two he will play for Wednesday on National Signing Day. Until then, he said he would be weighing his options. He said it will not be an easy call.
"I have to think about everything," he said.
It seems like Florida State made a favorable impression -- especially as far as academics are concerned.
"Iowa State has a good communications program," he said. "But I feel like Florida State's is better. They have one of the top programs in the country."
Bryant called his visit to Florida State "great." He said he attended the Florida State-Duke basketball game and he spoke with Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher in person for the first time.
"He told me for me only having played one year, I'm a heck of a player," he said. "Coming from him, I was like, 'Man, that is amazing.' "
Bryant said he was also impressed with Florida State's facilities.
"It's just a family environment," Bryant said of FSU.
But that does not mean he is a lock to be a Seminole on signing day.
"I'm going to take time to make my decision," he said.
Bryant had 35 tackles — 10 for loss — and four sacks as a senior.

Kennard enjoyed the role of savior in a small Ethiopian village. Photo by Rick Egan.
A Market for Children
As Lon Kennard tells it, he was driving to work in Salt Lake City, from his home in Heber City, through Parley's Canyon, when he heard an interview on National Public Radio with Cheryl Carter-Shotts, the founder of Americans for International Adoption.
The year was 1991, and the terrible vision of starving children—still the only image most Americans can muster of the world's most populous landlocked nation—was still fresh on Kennard's mind.
The Great Famine of the mid-1980s claimed the lives of more than 400,000 Ethiopians. But other than buying a copy of We Are The World, most Americans did little to help. Some might argue it's perhaps better that way. Though Americans mean well, they're prone to addressing intricate, entrenched international problems with simplistic solutions—a bandage over a festering wound.
Besides, in Ethiopia, home to so much desperation, where do you even start?
In the broadcast, Carter-Shotts offered a simple answer—something pure and benevolent that even Americans of relatively modest means could do to relieve misery in a far away land. They could adopt a child.
Even after the famine ended, malnutrition and disease continued to orphan tens of thousands of children each year. Ethiopia's orphanages couldn't hold them all.
Up to that point, and going back to the end of the Korean War, South Korea had been the top "sending" nation for American parents seeking to adopt children from overseas. But as economic winds shifted, and South Koreans were better able to care for their own orphans, the sources for internationally adopted children changed. Russia, China and Guatemala became key sending nations in the 1990s. Ethiopia soon joined those nations as top providers of children to American adoptive families.
Ethiopia, the second-most-populous nation in Africa, sent 95 children to adoptive parents in the United States in 2000, according to the U.S. State Department. During the next decade, nearly 10,000 Ethiopian children were adopted by American families, including 2,500 in 2010 alone.
Gail Gorfe watched the adoption rush with a mixture of excitement and fear. "There were a lot of adoption agencies being created," said Gorfe, who began working with Adoption Advocates International in Addis Ababa long before the boom. "On the one hand, that meant more adoptions, and that seems on the surface to be good. But it was also inviting problems. There were people who were treating this as a market for children. And there were not enough checks in the system."
Even with stringent controls, Kennard and his family would likely have seemed a near-perfect placement to adoption officials. A successful medical technology salesman and longtime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Kennard had recently been called to serve as a bishop in his ward.
And he spoke passionately of giving back to the world that had given him so much.
"When we were young, my wife and I had thought of joining the Peace Corps," Kennard said in an interview at the Utah State Prison earlier this year. "That opportunity had passed us by while we were raising our children—we had five, and that felt like a lot at the time. But now our children were older and this seemed like a good opportunity to make a difference."
After hearing the NPR broadcast, Kennard came home and asked his wife to pray with him about adoption. Soon, they agreed, they had received their answer. Although they were nearing retirement age, the couple felt they had more to give.
Heber City had only a handful of black residents, so the Kennards resolved to adopt two children—a brother and sister.
Ali Staking doesn't remember to which of her adoptive parents she spoke first. In any case, she couldn't understand what was being said. "But I do remember," Staking said, "that the people at the orphanage told me to say 'hi,' and I said 'hi' and they told me to say 'I love you,' and I said 'I love you' in my funny accent. And the other person on the line was in tears."
Staking was 3 years old; her brother was five. "Everyone at the orphanage always talked about going to America. We said 'When I go to America, I will be rich and fat.' That's what we knew about America—that everyone was happy, fat and rich."
Lon Kennard was two of those things. And when the tall, thin, angular and balding man arrived in the orphanage, Staking didn't know what to think.
"But when he arrived, he said 'I'm going to be your dad now,'" Staking recalled. "And I went with it, because all I knew was that I was going to America, and that was supposed to be a better life."
Kennard appeared determined to offer that better life to as many children as possible, first to Ali and her brother, then soon to their two older siblings—another boy and girl—and to two other young girls.
By 1995, the Kennard clan—including parents, biological and adopted children—was 13 members strong.
But Kennard had already set another goal. Their family hadn't yet fulfilled their purpose, he told his wife and children. Struck by the vast need he'd witnessed in the village of Kersa Elawa, he said he had a burning desire to help "at a greater level."
"It was something I am certain that God was calling me to do," Kennard said during the prison interview.
In the ensuing years, he returned to Kersa Elawa again and again, sometimes for weeks, other times for months, as he worked to build an organization that, he told supporters, would help create a model for ending abject poverty in villages across Ethiopia.
By 2009, the organization Kennard called "Village of Hope" had helped dig a 600-foot artesian well, laid the groundwork for a community center, leveled a local soccer field, built a clinic, and established an orphanage for 30 children. The organization, which had a thousand American sponsors—most of them in Utah—also arranged schooling for local children and training for farmers.
"Everything here became better," said villager Dureti Hussen. "Everybody understood that Lon was the reason for this change."
Dureti never doubted Kennard's sincerity. "Many times he would cry when he spoke," she said. "This is how we knew he was speaking from his heart."

Reviews for Easy Enchiladas
"Didn't think we would enjoy it but I was surprised they were yum-o and very simple to make... Enjoy!!!"
"Great recipe - BUT - I did add to it...When mixing cream cheese and chicken I also added a can of diced chilies and also a small can of black olives.. As for the chicken - I used the ready-cooked chicken (southwest flavored) strips ( the ones that come in a bag) and diced them - was fast easy and convenient. A nice quick and easy Mexican "fix" I also poured a little green enchilada sauce on top before adding cheese."
"I didn't think that I would like these because they seemed too simple, but they were very delicious and the whole family declared it a keeper! I like it because it is such an uncomplicated recipe. I will be making this again!!!"
"Very good. My husband thought it was too rich with the cream cheese, but I loved it. It was even better for leftovers. I definitely plan to make again just so I can take it for lunch all week."
"I substituted half of the cream cheese with cottage cheese that I creamed in the food processor."

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ams07 Awesome umbrella but... I love this umbrella. I bought it in "natural" colour which I felt wouldn't fade-cant fade if its already white! It is only the start of the season, but it appears sturdy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars or full points was there is no cord to pull to raise the umbrella, you have to get in under and push it up, hold it and slot the piece in. It had never occurred to me that an umbrella wouldn't have a cord or something to assist with raising it. It's not toooooo bad, as the top hole you apparently only use after time when the fabric has stretched a bit (as I was really struggling to use that hole!). But I'd still recommend the umbrella. It looks great, appears to be sturdy, and the only reason raising it inconveniences me is that I do put it down every night as we live in an often windy place so I don't want it flapping around. If I left it up all the time then the lack of cord would hardly matter at all. June 17, 2013

CU MTB member Sam Morrison leads a group at nationals
By: Eszter Horanyi
In the late 1990's and early 2000's, the University of Colorado mountain bike team dominated the collegiate scene winning several National Championships in a row. At the 2003 Mountain Bike National Championships, they suffered a heart-breaking loss in Angel Fire, NM., to Fort Lewis College and have only been able to bring home one mountain bike national title since then. The team has suffered from a series of years with single-year coaches, coaches who were unable to dedicate themselves fully to the team, or no coaches at all. As any student run organization, leadership changed frequently and continuity was lacking. This year, things changed when FasCat Coaching, based out of Boulder, came on board to help bring the CU team back to its powerhouse status.
FasCat joined forces with the CU team a few weeks into the fall mountain bike season with Jason Hilimire taking on mountain bike coaching responsibilities. He found a team that he describes as 'a good group of kids who just needed a point-person. They didn't have much organization or structure.' Hilimire explains that while the A-riders were fairly self-sufficient, it was the beginners who benefited most from having a coach present to answer simple questions, such as 'Where do we register?' Meanwhile, more experienced riders could benefit from information on race strategy and training. Historically, the collegiate programs that succeed are those that have a strong coach turning ordinary athletes into strong leaders who then pass their knowledge down to the next generation of cyclists who will take over leadership positions. When this chain is broken, strong teams begin to falter.
After a successful nationals where the team finished a close second to Fort Lewis College, Hilimire is looking to the future, citing recruitment, team dedication, and structure as requirements to grow the team and defeat Fort Lewis.
Recruiting the next generation
With the Colorado High School Mountain Bike League exploding this year, nearly doubling in size, the future of collegiate cycling looks bright. With Boulder High School winning the DI high school state championships, Hilimire and his team have a large talent pool growing just down the hill from the CU campus. Hilimire has already started the ball rolling with recruiting riders from area high schools to race for CU with plans for a group ride with team members and local professional riders and CU Cycling alumni planned for the spring.
Hilimire hopes that the number gains seen in the high school teams will transfer to collegiate cycling. "It's going to be a larger talent pool and it's going to bring everyone's game up,' says Hilimire of the young crop of mountain bikers. "Kids are going to come in with experience and with a better understanding of training and race preparation." When asked if he was worried that the colleges and universities with varsity cycling programs would immediate snap up all the top high school riders, further opening the gap between the varsity and club programs, Hilimire said he believed that there would be plenty of riders to go around for all the teams and that the increased number of people interested in mountain bike racing would spur the creation of cycling clubs at more schools around the country. "Right now there are four or five schools in both DI and DII who have legitimate teams," says Hilimire. If the numbers of high school cyclists in leagues around the country are any indication, this is set to change in the next five years.
Varsity vs. Club Sport
Most cycling teams around the country have club status in their schools with a few notable exceptions, such as Fort Lewis College, Lees McRae, and Lindsey Wilson. These programs offer scholarships to their athletes and give high school riders a goal to strive for. While many top high school riders are expected to go to these programs, the club sports atmosphere can be seen as an extension of the high school programs for those who have found a love for mountain bike racing in the high school league but aren't ready to dedicate a life to bicycle racing.
Hilimire believes that most of the CU team would be opposed to trying to turn the CU program into a varsity one, saying that the riders enjoy the club community atmosphere and subjecting teams to varsity sport eligibility rules would deter the large base of riders who are just racing for fun or are just learning about the sport. The inclusiveness of clubs sports, where anyone can join, is seen as the key to rebuilding a successful program at CU. Hilimire's goals for the CU team are lofty, but after their performance in Angel Fire this fall, seem entirely attainable. His first goal is to fill the rosters of the team with riders: beginners, experts, professionals, men and women. From this base, he hopes, will come Rocky Mountain Collegiate Conference titles as well as national titles, both goals that have eluded CU Cycling for too long.
But with the right leadership, and with the newfound belief among the riders that the team can challenge for a national title, the future is brighter than it has been in years.

I witnessed Jason's contribution to the CU Team at the National Championships and it was a great effort - it's nice to remove the burden of team logistics from the riders so they can concentrate on riding with the confidence that the "i's" & "t's" are being attended to.... I think the big plus for CU over schools like Fort Lewis, Lees McRae, etc. is the quality of the University itself and the education that the riders will have - for most there will need to be a career beyond cycling and coming out of a school like CU will give these athletes a big "leg-up" in life. I also agree that keeping Cycling as a Club Sport at CU is the right approach. The CU team, while missing the National Championship by one or two places in the last 3-4 years, is a strong group of riders who are having a blast and showing some incredible team spirit while riding some of the best terrain in the US - nothing bad in that! Go BUFFS!

You too can ride for a mediocre cycling team and be one of 5,000 other graduates with your same degree. Maybe all that losing in cycling will help you better deal with losing interviews for the jobs you qualify for with your CU education.

The sunlight calculator is an electronic light meter that measures solar energy. By using the sunlight calculator gardeners can easily and accurately measure the amount of accumulated sunlight falling on a specific garden location. This will help you position plants in light conditions where they will grow best and indicate why certain plants are not thriving. Measuring areas of sun and shade will also help you establish zones of differing watering needs in your garden.
Most gardeners are challenged with variable light conditions on their property. Sunlight intensity is affected by many environmental factors such as the season, time of day, shadows from nearby structures, and shade from surrounding plants and trees. A spot that was once "full sun" might become "partial shade" as a garden fills out over time. These factors can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight available to a plant, so it is beneficial to know your plants' sun exposure requirements. The sun calculator's results match common planting guidelines: Full Sun, Partial Sun, Partial Shade or Full Shade.

"Jarrod and Zachlynn will make a world of difference to our throwing program here at ETSU," said ETSU throws coach Meg Stone. "Both of these athletes will come into the program and have an immediate impact on the conference level, and they also have the ability to go on and develop into regional and potentially national qualifiers in their chosen event areas."

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bomber Great tasting coffee I used to order Kona coffee right from Hawaii until my distributor went out of business. I found the Kona coffee at World Market to be as good as the coffee ordered straight from the islands and a lot less expensive. I buy the whole beans and grind them myself. It is always a treat to have Kona coffee in the morning. Although I buy a variety of coffee from World Market, the Kona coffee is my favorite. The aroma that filters through the house is so tempting that my husband will get up and out of bed quickly. Its unique flavor makes this coffee well worth buying and the extra few dollars is worth it. May 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oliver66 Best location to purchase Kona Coffee WM online is the best possible place to purchase quality kona coffee. January 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by camama My favorite! I look forward to getting up each morning to enjoy a cup of this coffee. It's rich but mild. Delicious! December 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by teeg Best Flavor! This is the very best flavor coffee, no bitter aftertaste and a rich bold flavor coffee. Is better than any starbucks that I've ever had! September 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bettyg Favorite coffee My husband and I love this blend. April 10, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by HarlanJ OK Coffee So far, my choice of coffees from World Market is the Peruvian coffee. For a Kona blend, I thought this would be somewhat tastier. It's fine, but not delicious. If you like a more robust smooth coffee, go with the Peruvian. July 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by FeiY Great taste but lack body The coffee has great aroma upon opening the package. This is my first try at the kona coffee. Although it is a blend I was sure it would be good. Flavor- sweet and bright with a hint of floral. Definitely awaken the taste buds. Very smooth, no acidity. It definitely had the flavors I was looking for. Body-....none. A little washed down. This is one of the lightest coffees I've had. I wished it had a medium body to carry it's fragrant flavors. I have to scoop extra spoonfuls to make it heavier. I think I will try the 100% kona next time. August 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Freetime000 Not much Kona here I am a big fan of all the World Market coffee's here however having tried 100% Kona and maybe because Kona is on top of my favorites, this blend was disappointing. I can smell the Kona, I can hint a taste of the Kona but it is over powered by the blend. There's not much kona flavor or signature smoothness to speak for a Kona Coffee. I would be excited to see them carry a 100% Kona. April 3, 2013

Preparing a nutritious meal is important for good health, but cooking can be difficult when you're in pain or feel fatigued. Try these shortcuts for pain-free prep of healthy meals.
Be sure to wear cushioned, slip-proof shoes in the kitchen, and stand on a rubber mat for extra cushioning. Pull up a high barstool so you can sit down to chop, mix or stir. If the cold temp in the freezer makes your hands ache, slip on a pair of outdoor cooking gloves for added comfort and protection.
Use lightweight utensils with padded handles or slip-resistant grips. Other arthritis-friendly tools include a chopping board with built in spikes, double- or cushion-handled pots and pans, rotary grater or mandolin slicer, automatic jar opener, French chef knives (which are sharper) and canisters with easy open tops.
Tasty food doesn't always require hard work. Hearty soups, one-pot stews and slow-cooker meals can be filling and easy on hands. They can stand on their own, or complement sandwiches, salads or even meal replacement bars.
Try fresh or frozen, pre-cut vegetables and fruits. Soften raw veggies in the oven or microwave for easier cutting. Oven-baking bags and disposable foil pans make meal prep and clean up a snap.
Put commonly used kitchen utensils and spices within easy reach. Try pull-out cabinet and pantry shelves, wall-mounted cubby organizers and lightweight, rotating caddies and racks.
Chef Melinda Winner suggests freezing pre-measured portions of fresh herbs, spices and even tomato paste in a liquid base of water, milk or cream in ice cube trays. Then later you can grab a cube of basil when your recipe calls for a teaspoon or tablespoon, melt and voila … a real time and energy saver.
When you feel well, prepare multiple meals, and divide and freeze them in serving-size containers. That way, you can simply reheat ready-to-eat meals for when you're not having a good day.
More great tips from chef Winner: Use a nutcracker or long-handled pliers to loosen tightly sealed bottles. Use a small kitchen funnel to separate egg yolks from the whites – just place the funnel over a glass, crack the egg into the funnel and the white will slide into the glass while the yolk stays put.

A Sociopath, a Psychopath, and a Bully walked into the corporate office. They were dressed impeccably. The Sociopath was charming and glowed with charisma.

How to Exude More Confidence in a Negative World
by Yvonne Brown - Nov, 2010
Confidence: The word conjures up images of self-assurance and belief in ones' self. Self-confidence is inward security. It basically means that your source of security comes from within yourself, you're confident in your integrity to your own value system. It is not congruent with doubt or fear. I think that Franklin D. Roosevelt hit the nail on the head when he said, "Confidence thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sa...

Loyalty to the company was the byword, with an expectation that this quality would be valued by the company. At their retirement party...

CLARKSVILLE, Mo. — Those fighting floods in several communities along the Mississippi River were mostly successful Sunday despite the onslaught of water, but an ominous forecast and the growing accumulation of snow in the upper Midwest tempered any feelings of victory.
The surging Mississippi River was at or near crest at several places from the Quad Cities south to near St. Louis, with some reaching 10-12 feet above flood stage.
Problems were plentiful: Hundreds of thousands of acres of swamped farmland as planting season approaches; three people died; roads and bridges closed, including sections of major highways such as U.S. 61 in Iowa and Missouri and crossings at Quincy, Ill., and Louisiana, Mo.
The U.S. Coast Guard said 114 barges broke loose near St. Louis on Saturday night, and four hit the Jefferson Barracks Bridge in St. Louis County. The bridge was closed about six hours for inspection but reopened around 8 a.m. Sunday. Most of the runaway barges were corralled, but at least 10 sank and two others were unaccounted for, Coast Guard Lt. Colin Fogarty said.
Two of the confirmed flood-related deaths occurred near the same spot in Indiana; another was in Missouri. In all three cases, vehicles were swept off the road in flash floods. High water could be responsible for two more, both in Illinois, where a decomposed body was found Thursday in an Oak Brook creek and a body was found Saturday in the Mississippi River at Cora. Investigations continue.
The danger is far from over, as spots south of St. Louis aren't expected to crest until late this week. Significant flooding is possible in such places as Ste. Genevieve, Mo., Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Cairo, Ill.
Adding to concern is a forecast that calls for heavy rain Monday night and Tuesday throughout much of the Midwest. National Weather Service meteorologist Julie Phillipson said an inch of rain is likely in many places, with even more in some places. Rain is projected from Wisconsin through Missouri.
"That's not what we want to see when we have this kind of flooding, that's for sure," Phillipson said.
Anxiety looms regarding the heavy snow the northern Midwest has received this month and what happens when it melts and makes its way into tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
Forecasters said up to 6 inches of new snow was possible in the Black Hills area of South Dakota through Monday morning.

Sound Check
Method Man and Redman bring the pain to Ventura
By Cesar Augusto Rodriguez 06/13/2013
Maybe you have the albums Tical and Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) sitting in your five-disc CD changer at home. Or perhaps you prefer the newer collaborations like Blackout! 1 and 2. Of course, there's always the 2001 movie How High, which gave a newer generation its stoner comedy and connected Method Man and Redman to an even larger audience. Regardless of the projects that these two lyricists have created together, countless fans have followed them on their journey of irie adventures that most recently invoked some serious head boppin' at the Majestic Ventura Theater.
Local crew Mantis set the proper tone with some fluid rhyming by Erik K executed with kung-fu precision. The crowd was plenty ready when the Def Squad/Wu-Tang duo hit the stage. The aroma in the theater became increasingly floral as the night progressed, which melded perfectly with the RZA and Erick Sermon (EPMD) beats rippling through the crowd. Meth and Red kept the energy high and took few breaks. (Favorite moment: hearing one of Redman's tracks, which also helps to remind us of what to do when we find a bag of weed on the floor "Pick it up, pick it up!")
The show was a revisit of older tunes and some tracks off the newer Blackout! albums. No Ventura Theater show is complete without some speaker climbing which Redman used as an opportunity to get up-close and personal with the crowd. There was even some sharing of Phillies products from stage to fans, but that's not my usual brand of cigar.
Some hip-hop shows feel like a bunch of instructions being thrown at you in order to take your attention away from an inferior performance: "Wave your hands in the air, let me hear you say yeah!" But although such instructions were given, this show was far from low-quality. It felt more like an authentic big party with bumping sounds and good people. Smiles were on everyone's faces, and more than once I ran into locals that I didn't think were into Wu-Tang-style beats.
While Meth and Red's performance was in part a celebration of old school, it was also a reminder of how some of us have grown up in tandem with the genre's evolution. Perhaps these guys feel so familiar to us because they have become ingrained into our memories via respectable amounts of creative output over a wide swath of time. Their sounds have become associated with experiences we had when we first heard these tracks. Experiences like when your friend picked you up after installing subwoofers from hell and cueing up the Alpine to play "Method Man" (the song) on the 36 Chambers album. You know those lyrics have a special home in your dome: "M-E-T-H-O-D, MAN, M-E-T-H-O-D, MAN, Hey, you, get off my cloud. You don't know me and you don't know my style." (Just typing those lyrics gets me pumped.)
Even when I play "Da Rockwilder" now, in 2013, the phrase "surfin' the Avenue" fits seamlessly with my local neighborhood drives in the area of Ventura I call home. Regardless of which tracks are your favorites, Wednesday's show played at least a couple of them. Meth and Red brought a hell of a party to Ventura, and those lucky enough to attend got their fix until the next Blackout! album is released or we see some solo work from either rapper. Until then, if you desire to educate yourself, throw on Redman's "How to Roll a Blunt" and follow its simple instructions. It will help pass the time.

While I was growing up, October meant my birthday and my mom's homemade Halloween costumes. When I was 21, it became the month Mom found a lump in her breast. The year I turned 23, it was the month I lost my mother to inflammatory breast cancer.
Every October, much of America is draped in pink for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But it's not enough to purchase pink kitchen appliances, flip flops, or keychains; we need to look beyond the ribbon and have honest, open talks with the people we love living with this disease.
My mom's lasting gift to her daughters, family and friends was making cancer something you could talk about. She wrote about her journey through breast cancer on a journal she created on CaringBridge.org, a site created for people battling serious illnesses to share the stories.

Opened in 2004, the PETCO Park baseball stadium has replaced the Qualcomm Stadium as home of the San Diego Padres. The stadium has been designed to blend in with the area and the neighboring park has been integrated into the landscape. The stadium offers more than 42.000 seats, all with lots of leg-room and cup-holders. tViews over the city of San Diego can be enjoyed from the signature towers and terraces and a standing platform and the fan shop can be accessed from the 98-year old historic Western Metal Supply Company Building, which has been totally restored and incorporated in the structure of the stadium. Further amenities include a restaurant with views over the playing field, party suites and, 80 feet above the ground, bleacher seating and standing room on the roof. The stadium is connected to the local transport system of San Diego, but also offers plenty of parking facilities. For those who would like to see the stadium, but want to give the baseball a miss - there is also a stadium tour available. It includes entry to the "writers box" (where the journalists usually jot down their notes), a visit to one of the exclusive premier lounges, the dugout of the Padres and more. Since November 2005 the stadium also hosts concerts, tradeshows and other events.
Seaport Village is San Diegos landmark waterfront shopping mall. Centered around 3 interconnected plazas the Village offers 54 shops and galleries,13 sidewalk eateries and 4 award winning restaurants. Concerts and other events, like face and body painting or a vintage carousel, offer further entertainment. The restaurants of Seaport Village cater for all tastes and appetites, with a variety of food that ranges from sandwiches, burgers, Greek, Mexican and Italian cuisine to seafood, served in a formal atmosphere at the waterfront and sushi. Seaport Village is open daily from 10am-9pm with extended hours for the restaurants.
The San Diego Opera, founded in 1965, is located in the Civic Centre in Downtown San Diego and offers seating for 3000 visitors. It has been named as one of the top 10 opera companies in the US by Opera America and director Ian Campbell is leading director of the house. It offers a five month season each year with changing programmes. This year's productions range from Boris Godunov to Wozzek and the company has lined up internationally renowned artists to perform. The programme for the new seasons is published in May, with ticket sales starting in December. Backstage tours and pre-opera lectures are also provided.
This memorial is located at Harbor Drive and the G Street Mole one block south of Broadway. It is very near the USS Midway aircraft carrier museum. It is dedicated to the USS San Diego a United States light cruiser from the Second World War. The memorial is free and open every day of the year. The memorial is administered by the Unified Port of San Diego
The museum is located on board the USS Midway, an aircraft carrier that has served for 47 years. It started its career at the end of WW2 (1945) and ended it after Desert Storm in 1991. Throughout these many years it took part in many missions, both military and humanitarian. Visitors can expect to see more than 35 exhibits on board of the carrier, which include Aircraft Engines, Forecastle Deck (Foc'sle), the Galley , the Captain's Bridge and At-Sea-Cabin and much more. There are also a minimum of 21 restored aircraft on board and 2 flight simulators. The self-guided audio-tour is narrated in big parts by veterans who used to serve on the Midway and are more than willing to share a few anecdotes. The Midway is accessible for the infirm and there are handicapped parking spaces close to the entrance, as well as free parking for everybody. Further amenities include a gift shop and a cafe. Opening hours: Daily from 10 am to 5 pm , last admission at 4 pm. Closed on Christmas and Thanksgiving. Children under 5 and persons on active duty (in uniform) go free.
The Museum of Air and Space is dedicated to aviation and space flight history. Starting from a model of the Montgolfiers first hot air balloon in history, it will lead the visitor through a collection that will cover every aspect and development of aviation up to space age technology. In the hall of fame visitors have the chance to meet everybody who ever has substantially contributed to this science, including Charles Lindbergh, Gagarin and Armstrong. All in all the exhibition is divided into 11 different themes, which covers private, commercial and military aircraft and heroes, as well as spacecraft . Simulator rides of a F-22 Raptor put the visitor in charge of the cockpit with the ability to do a full 360 degree barrel roll and to fire weapons. The museum holds special events for visitors of all ages and birthday parties for children can be arranged. The museum is widely accessible for disabled visitors. Opening times : Daily from 10am-4.30 pm, during summer until 5.30 Closed:Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day

The Tonebenders Share Plugin Secrets
To round out Plugin Use/Abuse Month here on Designing Sound here are some neat tips and tricks from the 3 hosts of the Tonebenders Podcast.
Timothy Muirhead:
Convolution Reverbs are amazing tools to have in your arsenal of plugins. Unlike conventional digital reverbs which simulate theoretical spaces with arbitrary parameters, convolution reverbs use signal processing to deploy the reverberation of a real, existing physical space. In order to make this magic happen you need both the plugin and an impulse response generated and recorded in the field. Without an impulse response (IR) the plugin alone is not very useful. Luckily, most convolution reverb plugins come pre-loaded with a library of IRs that give you a wide range of reverb settings you can put to use.
The IRs used to create those plugin presets are essentially just audio files – created out on location by either playing back a sine wave sweep or by making a loud high-transient noise that covers a large swath of the frequency spectrum – by firing a starter's pistol for example – and recording the result. The convolution reverb calculates the relationship between the source sound and the resultant reverb created in the space. It can then apply that mathematical relationship to any other sound you patch through the 'verb. The results are very realistic and natural-sounding reverb treatments. In post-production applications, a convolution reverb can be a life-saver for matching ADR with location audio, and making sound effects feel like they inhabit the same space as the actors. Yet for all the help they offer in making things sound realistic, convolution reverbs can also be employed to make things sound very other-worldly as well.
Every so often I find myself looking for a sound that I can not quite find in my library or even begin to figure out how to tackle. This dilemma is the sound designer's version of writer's block. I'll be banging my head against the wall as my progress grinds to a halt. One strategy I resort to in this situation is to pull up a convolution reverb plugin and try to get creative with the impulse responses I load up. There are some interesting IR's available; the precise acoustics of the world's most revered performance spaces are there in your preset menu, alongside IRs recorded in caves, tunnels, and plastic garbage cans. Any space where an IR can be recorded can then be emulated by a convolution reverb.
There are obviously very scientific and rigid rules for those who create these beautiful and realistic reverbs, but the truth is that, since the IR is essentially just a sound file, anyone can go out and record their own IRs and load them into a convolution reverb plugin. And if you're in search of a new sound altogether, you can throw all the rules right out the window and basically hack the plugin, because any sound can replace an IR. The weirder the better.
Now we are in experimental territory and that elusive sound effect is out there somewhere. The more out-there sounds you try, the wider range of results you'll get. I've come up with a few hints as to what kinds of sounds yield interesting results. Look for things with movement to them like pitch shift or volume modulation. You also want to stick to short sounds. Longer ones can bog down the processors and just generate muddied-up sounds … but of course disregard that advice if you are looking for muddy sounds. Really, anything could work: it's all about trying new and different ideas.
There are a few practical things you should do in order to get the best results. First up, before you import a sound into your convolution reverb, you will want to prep the sound file a bit. I always bring the sound file into my DAW and edit out any silence at the head and tail. This is important as silence will not be understood by the plugin algorithm as silence. The computer will apply a bunch of complicated math to the nothingness and create zero effect. No point in wasting CPU power like this, so top-and-tail the file extremely tightly. Apply super-short fades to the file ends to eliminate any clicks. Next, you want to make the sound as loud as possible without clipping. (Actually you can get some crazy sounds from IRs that are maxed to clipping, but normally that's not what you're going for.) You want to have as much data in the file as possible – because using up all the headroom available will give the algorithm more information to work with. Quiet sounds just don't create as much of an effect. The easiest way to do this is to normalize each file. I usually normalize to -.05 dB. (Normalize each file individually rather than in a batch, otherwise you will be normalizing everything relative to the loudest of all the sounds highlighted, instead of each sound on its own.)
Once you have the sounds prepped you can import the sounds into the convolution reverb and trick the plugin into believing the sound is an IR. I won't go into the specifics of this here, as each make of plugin will do this in a different way, with different levels of complexity, but for some it's as simple as clicking 'import IR' in the plugin's library interface. Once you have a bunch of sounds imported as IRs it's time to experiment and play around. Here it's important to consider both sides of the equation… meaning the sound you use as an IR is as important as the sound on which you are applying the effect. Using a rattling chain as an IR can create a great effect on a drum loop, but it just makes a sloppy mess out of a repetitive sci-fi alarm. So it's a question of fiddling about with the combination of the IRs you create and the sounds you apply them to.
Inspiration hides in unexpected places. I found a telescoping back scratcher in my Christmas stocking and I quickly realized that when it was fully extended and whipped around, it made a great swish sound cutting through the air. So I set up a mic in the recording booth and recorded swishes until the little back scratcher broke in half. Not what Santa had in mind, but I was happy with the results. The following sounds are a few of those swishes as they were originally recorded, followed by the exact same swishes with the 'reverb' from a variety of unconventional IR's.
Take a listen:
To be honest, some of those were not much to write home about but a bunch of them will be entering my effects library for sure.
Where this trick has been particularly useful to me is in the design of slow motion or time lapse sequences. Going back to my original dilemma, where I've hit the wall searching for the right original sound, I've deployed some abstract thinking and taken a sound that relates to what is on screen and used that as an impulse response. What I've ended up with is a sound design element that works particularly well in sequences with skewed screen time. Using this same logic, I've sampled animal sounds or human screams as IRs applied to machines or vehicles, creating some original anthropomorphic effects.
Using sound files as IRs is a bit like spinning a roulette wheel as you never know which pairing of IR and source sound will work well to create that perfect new sound you're looking for. You simply have to spin the wheel and see what you get. With practice, you'll start getting a bead on things that will work best, but this is a technique that has been most productive for me when I didn't know what I was looking for in the first place.

OverDrive app problem on iOS
Hi. After the last iOS update I remember seeing a note somewhere on your site about the problem with trying to download titles to the app. I am still having this issue and wondered if there was a fix or workaround available yet? Audio books download fine but ePub books cause the app to crash. Thanks!
Hi there. Please fill out
Hi there. Please fill out our Patron Request for Purchase form (http://more.ppld.org:8080/PPRA/) and we'll be happy to consider the title for inclusion in our collection.
Check-out history
Is there a way to see my my Overdrive check-out history? There were some books that expired before I could listen to them but I don't remember what all of them were.
Reply (Checkout History)
To protect your privacy, OverDrive does not maintain records of checkout history. For more information, see OverDrive's privacy policy.
In some versions of the OverDrive app, a history of titles that you've downloaded is stored in the app, for your records only. OverDrive does not have access to this record.
The above response is directly from the OverDrive Help website.
Extra Pages
I have noticed the last couple books I have downloaded via OverDrive have about six to seven blank pages tacked on to the end of every chapter. Any insight?
Hi there!
Hi there! Could you please tell me the title of the book? OverDrive support needs the title of the book to help determine the issue.
Thank you Melissa

Hidden Falls, Episode One: Ordinary Secrets
I just found out this ebook is available on WorldCat.
Recommending an ebook to Overdrive
I see on your site you have the Hidden Falls series of ebooks. However, the first book, Episode One: Ordinary Secrets is missing. I spoke to Overdrive, and they said I would have to ask you to send a request to them to add Episode One: Ordinary Secrets to their catalog. It is available from Kindle ebooks for free. So, I am asking you to contact Overdrive and ask them to obtain Episode One: Ordinary Secrets from Kindle and put it in their catalog. In that way every library have a complete set to offer to their patrons. Contact me if you have any questions. Thank you very much.
Recommending an ebook
Thanks for your question. OverDrive has a blanket response to title inquiries since they have 600K titles and can't tell what is available in the support department. I will recommend this title but if the title were available to them, it would already be on the list. I see a lot of series where the first book is free to consumers and not available to libraries. I suggest you get Ordinary Secrets while it is free. Thanks again.
Suspend a hold
If you suspend a hold do you come back at the same place in the hold line when you un-suspend the hold? Also how many times or how long can you suspend a hold?
When you suspend a hold, your
When you suspend a hold, your position actually continues to rise in the queue, but the hold won't be fulfilled until you "un-suspend" the hold. There is not a limit to the number of times (or length of time) you suspend and un-suspend a hold, but you are not able to suspend a hold that is already available.
I hope this helps!

Nook sign in
I down loaded the OverDrive app and I'm on the Pike's Peak Library District website on a Nook color. I am able to get on the library website, and the cyber shelf website, but as soon as I click the sign in button nothing happens. I typed in the sign in URL directly and that did not work either. The sign in page will not load. I know cybershelf is working because it will load on my phone. Any ideas?

Hi there. Give us a call at (719) 884-9674 and we'll be happy to assist you.
Just saw the following on hoopla updates. Is this something that will be done with PPLD?
•A budget rollover feature has been added. This feature allows any unused funds from your monthly budget cap at month's end to be rolled over to the next month. The goal is to help you keep your allotted funds for hoopla together for an entire fiscal year, rather than operating a month at a time. (NOTE: This feature must be enabled through your hoopla coordinator.)
I can see where I've checked out 2 books to my library account, but when I go to download them on the iPad Overdrive app, it does not work. I can see the 2 titles on my bookshelf with the down arrows on the cover page which I should be able to click and download. I select "download all files" after clicking on the cover page arrow. Then I get an error message that says: "Unexpected Error: An error occurred, please try again. If this error persists, return to your library's website and download this title again." The library website won't let me download it again telling me it's already downloaded. This is not a friendly system at all!!!
Hi there. I am sorry to hear

Overdrive audiobooks
1) This is becoming frustrating. Two Audiobooks that I have listened to lately--The House on Tradd Street and Never Cry Wolf--have played to the end of the last part and then simply ended, right in the middle of a sentence, before the book was finished! The ends of the books were simply not there. What is going on?
2) It is SO cumbersome to get to my Cyberspace account, especially on my phone. Is there no way we could have a link to sign in to our Cyberspace account directly from the PPLD home page?

The three authors are
The three authors are published by Simon and Schuster. Historically they have never sold their titles to the library community. This year Simon and Schuster is testing selling their titles to a few select libraries. We have great hope that they will agree to sell their titles to all libraries if the trial is successful.
