Inov-8 Roclite 295 Review
January 12, 2011 by Travis Liles · 51 Comments
Inov-8 names its shoes like European cars. Take a BMW 318, which stands for the 3 Series with a 1.8 liter engine. The model and numbers used are not just flashy names, they actually mean something. Similarly, with Inov-8's Roclite 295 we have the Roclite tread on a shoe that weighs 295 grams in total for US men's size 9. The women's version of the 295, the Roclite 268, follows the same naming convention. The Roclite 295 from Inov-8 is now on its third update since the shoe first hit the market about 2 years ago. The initial release featured a bland blue and grey upper and the endurance rubber outsole. The second revision of the 295 stayed the same from the tongue all the way down to the midsole but then swapped out the endurance rubber for the sticky rubber tread. Now, in it's third and current version, we find the sticky rubber has stayed but there has been a new flashier black and lime green color scheme as well as some more tightly woven mesh update to the uppers. So, does this low profile trainer from England perform like a luxury sports car? Check out the video below for a detailed overview or hit the text for the basics.

The Roclite outsole is one of the most versitile in the Inov-8 line. Hardpack, sand, gravel, road, technical single track, snow, mud, you name it and this tread pattern will be up to the challenge. Is it the best for all of those conditions? No, but if you are unsure of the road (or trail) ahead, the Roclite line is an admirable choice.
The tread pattern is quite simple. Small lugs up at the tip of the toe act like little teeth when climbing. Medium and large lugs make up the midfoot and heel portions of the bottom of the shoe. These lugs are bi-directional, too, aiding in climbing and descending. The sticky rubber compound is used here, which does a few things. One, it provides tackiness when wet. Two, it is more flexible than the endurance rubber compound which aids in traction. Three, the softer rubber aids in more shock absorption. However, the sticky rubber does wear down quicker than the endurance rubber. How much quicker? While I can't say for sure I can say that the upper of my 2nd generation 295's wore out before my tread even looked close to retirement.
In the portion of the shoe lacking any lugs we find 3 bands that connect to a lug in the center of the heel and run vertically, fanning out along the middle then connecting to the 3 center lugs behind the ball of the foot. This is the Facia Band. The Facia Band is supposed to replicate the plantar fascia ligament in your foot, thereby aiding in forward propulsion and reducing fatigue. Does it work? I don't know. I have worn these shoes for lots and lots of training miles and ran some 50k's in them and do not feel beat up afterward, but I've also worn shoes without a Facia Band for training and racing without issue. We can chalk this one up to compression sleeves and chia seed theories. If it works for you, go with it.
Now, let's poke around on the rock plate. Instead of the full length, solid piece of plastic or hard rubber that makes up a rock plate found on many trail running footwear, the Meta Shank starts under the middle of the foot as a solid piece of flexible plastic-like material then fans out individually like fingers or in this instance, toes. The goal is to provide protection under each of your toes while still allowing your foot to flex naturally.
Lastly, Meta Flex. This is a groove that runs horizontal behind your toes and creates a flex point in the outsole. This feature lets your foot bend and.. well, flex, like it normally does in toe off. It provides for a broken-in feeling right out of the box. A lot of Inov-8 models have this feature and I've found it to cause a weak point in the upper just above where the Meta Flex groove is located.
In true Inov-8 fashion, the midsole on the 295 is not about what it has, it is about what it lacks. You will not find anything special going on here. A single density foam is used all the way around. There is not any progressive, multi-density, stability cages, or any other fancy terms here (all those terms must have been used up in the outsole). Inov-8 uses an arrow system to describe the amount of cushioning and how close to the ground you get. This model uses the 3 arrow cushioning, which makes it good for training or long distances on the trail as well as being light and low enough to feel fast. A 16mm heel and and 7mm forefoot makes for a 9mm drop to keep you low to the ground.
The toe box is ample enough to let your piggies wiggle and even swell a bit, but not so big that you feel like they are swimming in there. The toe bumper is made from flexible rubber that adds structure as well as puncture resistance, but it's not bomb proof. The more dense rubber from the outsole does wrap up from the bottom a bit to add a little more toe protection at the apex of the shoe.
The upper is made from tight-weave mesh. This style of mesh is a update from the previous 295's that used a more open design that was more prone to snags and potentially less durable. Here Inov-8 uses the Meta Cradle technology to secure the foot. The Meta Cradle is a series of fabric bands layered over the mesh upper. The bands start at the base of the upper goes up to create a loop for the laces then diverts down to attach down again at the base of the shoe in an arch shape. This arch pattern is repeated 4 times intersecting each other and creating a web of support to hold the foot in place. All of the laces on the shoe are created from these Meta Cradle except for the top two eyelets which are more standard fare.
The heel has structure, but lacks a rigid hard counter. It can be collapsed by pushing on it but provides enough structure to lock your heel in and feel stable. The ankle cuff is low. The first time you try it on it feels weird because your heel is not sitting as low as what you might be used to. This is by design. The idea is to not interfere with your Achilles tendon when descending.
Closing Thoughts
Inov-8 has created a mashup by combining its historically more narrow platform of the Roclite with the comfortable upper of the classic fell runners like the Flyroc and Terroc. What you end up with is a nimble trail runner capable of tackling a variety of surfaces in a lower than average weight.
Call for Comments
We'd love to hear what folks who've worn the Roclite 295 think of the shoe. For those who haven't, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

The two men responsible for a violent attack along Main Street during the Sundance Film Festival in 2009 were ordered on Thursday to pay the victim $466,257.33.
Third District Court Judge Ryan Harris entered the ruling in a lawsuit the victim filed against the two. Ryan Bilbrey, who was attacked on Jan. 18, 2009, was awarded $250,000 in general damages, $125,257.33 to compensate him for medical bills and $91,000 in lost wages.
John Cook, who inflicted the worst of Bilbrey's injuries, was ordered to pay 70 percent of the total, or $326,380.13. Kyle Erickson, the other person involved, was ordered to pay the remaining 30 percent, or $139,877.20.
"I'm satisfied with the judgment, 100 percent," Bilbrey said, calling the figure "reasonable."
The lawsuit was filed in the fall of 2009. There had been little apparent progress in recent months, but the sides in February were at one point scheduled to conduct a final conference over the phone prior to a trial.
Bilbrey, who is 41 years old and lives in Los Angeles, suffered a broken nose and his eye sockets and cheekbones were broken during the attack. He required four surgeries to reconstruct his face and to remove a plate that was put in as a result of the injuries.
Neither Cook nor Erickson was present on Thursday, and they did not have legal representation in the courtroom. Third District Court records did not list them as having attorneys representing them in the lawsuit. Court documents filed in 2009 listed Cook as living in Lindon and Erickson as living in Lehi.
Brad Bearnson, the attorney who represented Bilbrey, said in an interview it is not clear whether Bilbrey will ever collect the judgment. He said neither Cook nor Erickson has displayed responsibility over the course of the case, calling the prospects of Bilbrey collecting a "$400,000 question."
"It's a bit of a paper victory for Mr. Bilbrey at this point," Bearnson said.
Bilbrey agreed, wondering whether he will collect the judgment.
"Am I ever going to see a dime out of that," he said.
The attack attracted widespread publicity for its viciousness on a night when Park City was crowded with Sundance-goers. Fisticuffs are common along Main Street, but the attack on Bilbrey was a rare instance of brutality on the street.
Bilbrey was with others on Main Street when they came across Cook and Erickson close to the Egyptian Theatre. Bilbrey has said Erickson was the instigator of the confrontation and he and Erickson scuffled. Bilbrey ended up on the ground and Cook kicked him hard in the face, causing the injuries. Cook was captured nearby shortly afterward. Investigators tracked down Erickson nearly six months later.
Cook was convicted of assault and he served 230 days in jail, 70 days fewer than Judge Bruce Lubeck's sentence. The Summit County Sheriff's Office released him early based on good behavior. Erickson pleaded guilty to charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct. Erickson's sentence included 20 days in jail. The time was suspended.
The lawsuit listed 10 claims against either Cook or Erickson, including intentional infliction of emotional distress. Their conduct "was outrageous and intolerable in that it offended generally accepted standards of decency and morality," the lawsuit charged.

Volleyball Returns To EIVA Play With Saturday Showdown At Rutgers-Newark
The Princeton men's volleyball team will begin a five-match EIVA stretch Saturday afternoon at 2 pm when it travels to Rutgers-Newark to take on the Scarlet Raiders.
Princeton is currently 8-6 on the season and is coming off a two-match Midwestern trip, where the Tigers lost two hard-fought matches against Top 15 competition. On Monday, the Tigers fell 3-2 at No. 14 Loyola, and seventh-ranked Lewis followed the match up with a 3-1 victory Tuesday.
The trip did produce its highlights, including a 20-kill effort by Pat Schwagler at Loyola and an eight-kill, two-block showing by Michael Dye at Lewis.
Head coach Sam Shweisky is hopeful that both the top-rate competition and the additional time for bonding helps Princeton during this crucial league stretch. Princeton can move into a second-place tie with George Mason if it can complete the season sweep of Rutgers; the Tigers swept the Scarlet Raiders 3-0 earlier this season, with sophomore Cody Kessel leading the way with 10 kills.
Princeton has been without the injured Kessel recently, but it still fought off Harvard at home to keep itself with only two road losses in league play. One of those losses was at No. 13 Penn State, and the Nittany Lions will come to Dillon Gym next weekend for a Friday night showdown. That match follows a Thursday match with Saint Francis; the Red Flash is only one match out of a playoff spot currently.

Dream Big, Read! Tea Party (Part 1) (23 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This tea party was for our son Gavin Leo and his little girlfriend Hadley Anderson to celebrate life and the importance of literacy and creative imagination.
Dream Big, READ! is a library inspired theme. The library and the power of reading and literature has been a huge part of our lives especially since having our son, Gavin Leo. We have a special love of our local library, the Dunedin Public Library in sunny Dunedin, Florida. We really enjoy the amazing public benefit it has in our lives and the local community. The library has provided wonderful mornings of story time and crafts, as well as magical afternoon music classes since our little boy was just a baby.
With this close to my heart, I wanted to create an inspirational theme that really touches on the power of education and the magic of imagination in the lives of children. We can travel with our imagination through the pages of fairy tales and wondrous story books and "Dream BIG" in our everyday lives.
To create this party I used every vintage and classic story book I had in my personal library, along with a few special treasures I bought at a local antique shop. I also picked up some old books to use as supplies to create unique and special designs and decorations; from letters cut out of a dictionary that hung from a tree branch to using the pages of books for all our printables for the party. I made a "Dream Journal" out of brown paper bags for the children as party favors and tied them together with blue ribbons.
For all the food I did a tea time theme for toddlers, which included fresh fruits and berries, peanut butter and banana squares, as well as cinnamon and honey strawberry squares. Our speciality treats included mini cupcake candies, chocolate filled strawberry candies and amazing cupcakes custom made at our local bakery. Fresh squeezed lemonade and blueberry tea were also provided as refreshments. Of course there were tiny lollipops and a doll sized tea set for the children to play with under the trees in our garden.
I created some fun DIY projects such as storage containers made out of old coffee cans, which I then covered in an old atlas. I reused them in my son's room to store and organize toys and special treasures. I have included a photo of the DIY Map Storage Tins in his bedroom. Just a fun way to stay organized on a crafty budget! I also made a DIY paper star out of postcard scrapbook paper to hang from the ceiling, inspired by the idea of dreaming big. My favorite piece was using a salvaged window pane in a vibrant aqua color as the main center piece for the table. Its bold and rustic charm really brought character and whimsy to the table and overall feel of the party. I used vintage books and antique tableware throughout the entire party to add a unique and elegant touch. I created a tablecloth out of old book pages for the tea party table outside in the garden. A fun repurposing piece was my Target shower curtain, which I used to style the dessert table. A creative way to purchase something that can be reused or re-gifted to a friend.
I really used whatever I had in the studio for supplies and decor to pull this fantasy inspired party together. I created a place where everything is possible and you can travel with your imagination in the pages of fairy tales. It's so important to always remember to "Dream Big" and allow children the chance to have time for imaginary play. My focus was on being crafty and creative, as well as promoting 'being green' by using as many upcycled and repurposed pieces as possible. I wanted to highlight the beauty of books and the creativity within their pages by sharing my personal connection with our local library. I hope to inspire others to find the magic of the public library in their community and all the endless knowledge that lies within them. The key underlying element is to showcase the importance of learning and for young children to use their imagination. A simple trip to the local library can bring so much magic into their lives. This party is close to my heart and I am so happy to share this message: The joy of a simple afternoon of reading can truly capture one's imagination, forever enriching a child's life.

Baltimore County News
Bob Franke, Customer Service Manager
Baltimore County Office of Budget and Finance
The holidays are busy, but you'll want to make sure to add one important thing to your to-do list. The deadline to file to retain your Homestead Tax Credit is next Monday, December 31, 2012. If you own the home where you live, you have been getting a significant credit on your property taxes for years. That credit will expire unless you file by the deadline.
For the past five years, the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation has been requiring residential property owners to file a new application to be eligible for the Homestead Tax Credit. You may have received the credit in the past, but if you fail to file an application that benefit will cease.
For those of you who need a small refresher, the Homestead is a tax credit that applies to your primary residence only. The credit limits the amount of your property assessment on which you actually pay taxes. While your assessments may increase dramatically, the credit limits the increase in the taxable portion of that assessment to just 4% per year. Our Taxpayer Services Section works with Baltimore County property owners on a daily basis, and we can clearly see the impact this tax credit has had on some accounts that otherwise would have faced 20%, 40%, or even 60% increases in their tax bill.
The credit itself can be very large during times of high property assessment increases, but shrinks as assessment growth slows or as assessments even decrease (as we have seen in recent years). Some property owners who, through lower reassessments or because they recently moved, may have seen the credit drop to zero and are wondering is it worth filing now. The truth is, no one knows when and if housing prices will rapidly accelerate again, but with the Homestead Tax credit eligibility in place, you can be protected automatically. That's why it's critical that you apply before the December 31st deadline. It's a quick and simple one-time process that can save you substantial money.
If you are unsure if you're approved, or simply want to verify your eligibility, you should visit the State Department of Assessments and Taxation website at www.dat.state.md.us and click on "Real Property Data Search." Click on Baltimore County and enter your street address. When your property page is displayed, scroll to the very bottom to see if you submitted the application.
If you haven't filed the application yet, you can reach the Homestead Credit Program by calling (410) 767-2165, or toll free at 1-866-650-8783.
Please, take a few minutes to verify your eligibility for this credit, and if necessary file the application. Is it a big deal? You bet it is.

[1] About 50 percent of those with Waardenburg syndrome type 2 have a hearing impairment or are deaf.[2] Type 2 is one the most common forms of Waardenburg syndrome, along with type 1. Waardenburg syndrome type 2 may be caused by mutations in the MITF and SNAI2 genes. This condition is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, but can sometimes be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.[1]Waardenburg syndrome type 2 is an inherited condition that can cause hearing loss and changes in coloring (pigmentation) of the hair, skin, and eyes.

Deciding to have your will drawn up isn't always easy. Anyone can create a will at any time of their life as long as they are 18 years or older. There are many reasons that you might consider a will including the shear fact that it gives you the peace of mind to live your life to the fullest knowing that your wishes after death will be illustrated in your will. When you do decide that it is time to put together your last will and testament, you will probably be trying to decide if you need to hire a probate solicitor or if you can do the job yourself.
DIY or Hire a Professional?
There are several ways that you can go about creating your will. Solicitors can provide you with the help that you need and have all the experience that you might be looking for. If you have a large estate, complicated business arrangements, multiple children from different relationships or you have any unusual property related situations, hiring a solicitor might be the best option. They will have the experience and understand the laws to be able to best help you with the proper way to manage those situations.
You might also find that hiring someone online to write the will for you is the best approach. There are companies that write wills online with the information that they provide to you. After you receive the will and it is to your satisfaction, you can sign it in front of two witnesses who will also sign the document. This is a cost effective medium between hiring a solicitor and hiring someone to simply write the document for you.
If your circumstances are fairly simple, doing the work yourself is well within reason. You could simply write down your wishes for how your property should be distributed, who should take care of your children under the age of 18 and who will be the executor of your estate. This is the person that will handle the particulars of your estate after you have passed away.
Deciding When to Get a Will
Some of the important times in your life might make you see the value in having a will. If you have recently married, had a child or made some investments, you might want to consider having a will drawn up. It is also possible that if you have started a new business or are planning a major trip out of the country, that a will might be a good fit. You don't need to have a major milestone occur in your life to decide a will could be beneficial.
Including Your Family
It may not seem like something that would make a good conversation piece, but you should make sure that your immediate family knows that you have created a will and where the original is held. You could have the will held by a solicitor, in a bank box or even in your home in a secure location. Letting your family know of its existence can help them if you should pass away. In all reality, you are doing your family a service by having a will drawn up. It will eliminate the need for them to guess what you would have wanted and keep them out of probate battles.
It Can Always be Changed
While the will will hold its value for as long as you live, you can make changes when you find them necessary. Should you need to remove someone from the will, add someone or make changes regarding who gets what, it can be done. This can't be done directly to the original will, but with the help of another document called a codicil. The codicil acts as an amendment to your first will and will include language that says so. If there are many changes you will want to draw up a new will that includes information relating to invalidity of the original will.
The decision to have a will drawn up may come at any point in your life. Deciding whether to have someone do the job for you to do it yourself really amounts to how complicated it will be and how much money you have to get the will completed.
Permanent Life insurance remains a neglected commodity, although the consensuses among many economists endorse the purchase of universal life policies. Yet, for many, the question remains - what's the benefit of buying these types of policies, other than a death benefit, when you could simply save your money in a bank account?
It all depends on your obligations and what you need to accomplish in your golden years, yet studies find that most people are always under-insured. As inexpensive as insurance policies have become shown by SimpleFS life insurance quotes, people still sacrifice what they need the most.
The Flexibility of Permanent Insurance
Typical life insurance policies provide temporary coverage for a specified period of time, such as 10, 15 or 20 years, but you may live longer than the time specified in your policy, then the policy will expire, and you will have to find yet another policy, that is, if you want to have coverage.
Universal insurance policies are permanent. With a permanent life policy, you do not have to worry if you outlive the policy term because your contract provides you with coverage for your entire life as long as premiums are paid.
Permanent Policies At-A-Glance
• Flexibility to change the premium and benefit amounts
• A guaranteed interest rate
• www.lifeinsurancequotes-uk.com
• You can take loans against the cash value
• The option to use the value of the cash to pay in full an insurance smaller in the future
Universal insurance is a hybrid policy - a blend of death and premiums are paid towards your life death benefits and an investment fund. When you pay the premium to the insurance company, a portion pays for the policy and the balance is invested, most likely, in mutual funds and earns a return.
The cash value of a permanent policy is the crux of insurance: It is a savings account that you have within your policy and accumulates for you over time, not to mention, has deferred tax.
Grow it or Give Your Money Away
Retirement can certainly become less fulfilling when you must share your income with Uncle Sam. Every penny you've socked away is still encumbered by taxes. The good news is that the cash you've accumulated in a universal policy can be tax-free, that is, after retirement.
Sure, your typical savings account at your local bank helps you save money, but today's low interest rates certainly won't help you build a nest egg. Retirees can make monthly withdrawals from the cash value of a universal insurance policy to supplement a limited income. As long as the amount of withdrawals is less than the amount of the premiums, the withdrawals remain tax free.
The cash portion in a permanent life insurance policy earns a higher rate of return due to their equity investments. Additionally, not only are these policies flexible, but they are adaptable to rapid stock market changes. The policy pays out a minimal guaranteed rate of return, no matter what, so when it comes to risk, the insurance company absorbs it, not the insured.
The Versatility of Life Insurance
Consumers have begun to explore the under-stated value of life insurance policies, and how to take advantage of this flexible asset. Universal policies offer a variety of options that we usually ignore. For example, today, many senior citizens are faced with challenging financial choices and have opted to utilize the policy's cash accumulation for loans against the policy and their long-term care expenses.
As the cost of living rapidly increases, you can quickly become destitute, especially when paying for long-term senior care, but loans are just one way to monetize an insurance policy. As long as the policy has value, you can borrow up to 90 percent of the cash value of your policy, tax free. This certainly comes in handy when you're facing a financial challenge.
In comparison, bank loans offer no advantages; you must meet credit guidelines, you pay back the face value of the loan plus interest and you have time-enforced restrictions on that loan. The cash value portion of your policy is your money and you can borrow the money at any time.
Today's cost of living is outpacing retirement checks, leaving very little to live on, thus if you plan on having an affordable life cover the necessities for those golden years. Insurance policies are an outlet that often helps when you need extra funds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ajuga an excellent pantry addition Bought this rack several years ago and have it in the bottom floor of my pantry, turned in a horizontal fashion. It is sturdy and solid, even when all the wine cubbies are filled. It is very rustic and stylish-looking, and you will really like it! April 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kim31 Attractive and sturdy After seeing this up on a riser at the store I instantly loved it. I looked it over 3 times before deciding it was worth the $99 price tag - because I couldn't leave the store without it. It holds regular sized wine bottles well, but it is good for some champagne/martinellis sized, and even the larger 1.5L bottles, as long as you are ok with the bottle directly above the larger bottle resting on it. I do wish I had found it when it was on sale, but still a pretty good value for a unique, well built, and interesting wine rack that is also a modern work of art. March 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DougAndTony Use this rack for Champagne, Pinot noir bottles... A wine rack with a modern metal/wood look that is sturdy enough and the slots wide enough to hold Champagne and Pinot noir bottles. The dimensions are 29 1/2" H, 17 1/2" W, 9 3/4" D. November 16, 2014

Manning Semi-Flush Mount Item # A6374
Streamline Bead-Chain Ceiling Light
Customize This Product
To make shopping even easier, we've renamed some of our fixtures. They're now grouped into families so you can find coordinating pieces at a glance.
The Manning Semi-Flush Mount is a vernacular Streamline "bead-chain" type fixture that was common from the 1930s through the 1950s. Most every house of that time had some room lit by these sweet and utilitarian lights. With its shallow height, the Manning is a good choice for rooms with lower ceilings.
Bead-chain lights put the focus on the shade, making them a simple way to illuminate rooms with minimum fussing over matching or clashing styles. Another useful characteristic of these lights is their compatibility with nearly any three-hole bead-chain shade, be it from our shade collection or an antique shop.
- Formerly known as the Dekum
- Solid-brass parts
- Compatible with any three-hole bead-chain shade, new or old

CLEVELAND, Ohio – December 3, 2012 – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum announced today that Gregory S. Harris, its vice president of development since 2008, will become president and chief executive officer. Harris, who holds a graduate degree in museum studies and whose industry background also includes curatorial, membership and sponsorship experience, was approved by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. board following a broad nationwide search.
A driving force behind growing the Museum's philanthropic support and a key figure in fundraising, planning and execution of the successful 2012 Hall of Fame Induction Week, Harris, 47, succeeds long-time President and Chief Executive Officer Terry Stewart, who announced in May his intention to retire from the position by the end of next year. The transition will be effective January 1, 2013.
In his current role, Harris oversees development, special events, membership, board relations and government affairs. He also assists in numerous other areas, including strategic planning and institutional marketing, and has helped to acquire archival collections for the Museum's Library and Archives.
"Throughout the search process, all of the voting was unanimous for Greg," said Board Chair William W. Rowley, who headed a seven-member search committee. "His passion for music, his tremendous success as our head of development and his strong track record at the Baseball Hall of Fame provide an outstanding combination of skills that will help drive the continued success of the Museum."
Before joining the Rock Hall, Harris spent 14 years at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., where he advanced from curating the Hall of Fame Library and Archives' broadcast collection to serving as vice president of development. During his tenure, he became a trusted advisor to the museum president, worked directly with Baseball Hall of Fame inductees and created a strong national network of donors, sponsors and influencers.
"I'm honored to be entrusted to lead the organization that preserves and presents this amazing art form for future generations," said Harris. "Rock and roll is deeply rooted in our culture and when interpreted through a museum, provides a powerful forum to teach and inspire. Through Terry Stewart's leadership, the staff has put this institution on solid ground. The Rock Hall is in the best shape ever and I'm looking forward to a tremendous future."
Harris' passion for music made the opportunity to shift from baseball to rock and roll an incredibly compelling choice. In the 1980s, he and a partner founded, owned and operated the Philadelphia Record Exchange, a retail store that specialized in selling rare, used and independent records. The store mirrored and amplified his love of rock, R&B, soul, blues, country, folk, punk and other musical genres. He also served as a road manager for a nationally touring group and played guitar in garage bands.
He remains an enthusiastic music lover, regularly attends live concerts and is a frequent contributor to the Rockhall.com blog.
"Since coming to the Rock Hall, Greg has gained deep institutional knowledge and built excellent relationships with the entire Rock Hall team and the Cleveland community," said Stewart. "Without question, he has the experience and capability as well as the passion, energy and strategic vision needed to lead the Museum to new heights."
The search for Stewart's successor was conducted by Heidrick & Struggles' Bonnie Gwin, vice chairman of that firm and leader of its CEO and Board search practice. She and her team screened hundreds of potential candidates from all over the United States to come up with 37 viable candidates. Of that list, Heidrick & Struggles interviewed 20 and then pared down the list for the search committee to personally interview a diverse group of 12 candidates.
The search committee included representatives of both the Cleveland Rock and Roll, Inc. board and the New York-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation board. In addition to Rowley, its members were former Chair William B. Summers, Jr.; Vice Chairs Christopher Connor and Jerry Sue Thornton; Trustee Alec Wightman; Jann Wenner, chairman of the Foundation; and Joel Peresman, president and chief executive officer of the Foundation.
The committee recommended Harris to the 10-member Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. board, which includes members of both the Cleveland and New York boards.
"We were impressed by the outstanding caliber of every one of the candidates we interviewed," said Wenner. "Clearly, however, Greg had the best mix of experience, vision and passion for the art. We now look forward to seeing even greater things from him and the team at the Museum."
"As a musician and historian I'm thrilled to see a friend, Greg Harris, named as President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," said drummer, DJ and producer Questlove of the Roots. "His store, the Philadelphia Record Exchange was my home away from home, and most of my 70,000 plus vinyl records came from there."
A native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Harris holds a B.A. degree in history from Temple University and a master's degree from the Cooperstown Graduate Program for History and Museum Studies. He resides in the Cleveland area with his wife, Deirdre, and two children, Alex and Jack.

In accordance with federal and state regulations and MnSCU Policy 2.9, Anoka-Ramsey Community College shall monitor all credits for all students and shall apply the following minimum cumulative standards of progress beginning with a student's sixth (6th) attempted credit:
See satisfactory academic progress policy for additional information.
As prescribed in Section 484A of the Higher Education Act of 1965, a student becomes ineligible to receive federal Title IV financial aid if the student is convicted of an offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal Title IV financial aid.
If a student has been convicted of such an offense s/he should contact the Anoka-Ramsey Community College Financial Aid Office for further information on the steps necessary to regain eligibility.
For students receiving State financial funding, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education refund policies will apply.
Federal Student Aid funds are awarded to a student based on the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which assistance is awarded. A student who stops attending class(es) must immediately withdraw from class(es), and is responsible for understanding the impact of such action on his/her student account.
Financial aid recipients who totally withdraw or stop attending classes prior to the 60% point of the term are subject to the federal Return of Title IV calculation for federal aid. The amount of unused aid to be returned is calculated by dividing the number of remaining business days by the total number of business days in the semester. Breaks of more than four consecutive business days are excluded. Examples of both calucations are available in the Financial Aid Office at the student's request.
The responsibility to repay the unearned financial aid is shared by the institution and the student. The institution's share is allocated among the Title IV programs before the student's share, in the following order: Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant and Federal SEOG. The student share of remaining unearned aid is collected from the student and allocated in the same order indicated above.
Return of financial aid calculations are performed no later than 30 days after determining the student withdrew or stopped attending classes. Students return their share of unearned aid attributable to a loan under the terms and conditions of the promissory note. Grant repayment is made to the college under the repayment guidelines identified in a notice sent to students after the recalculation is complete.
Anoka-Ramsey Community College will verify ALL student applications selected by the FAFSA processor. Verification documents will be requested of the student upon receipt of the FAFSA. Documents must be received and verification performed before any disbursement of financial aid wll be made. If there are errors, we will update your application, recalculate your aid eligibility and send a current award letter to you. Any documents received after 120 days after the last date of enrollment (or date published by the Department of Education, whichever is earlier) will not be processed. Financial Aid Adjustments
Your class schedule must be firm and you should not make any changes after the 5th day of the semester or you risk aid reductions. It is expected that you will attend your registered courses. If you decide to add a late start course after the 5th day of the semester your Pell Grant cannot be adjusted for the increase in credits. If you drop a class and add another class that is the same number of credits after the 5th day of the semester, your aid will be negatively affected, as the add will not be recognized.

It is still rare for women to conduct major orchestras; Susanna Mälkki is one of these women. In an exciting programme combining Images, Rondes de printemps, Jeux and La boîte à joujoux by Claude Debussy, as well as Contes cruels by contemporary composer Tristan Murail, the young Finnish artist makes her debut at La Monnaie as part of the Ars Musica Festival.
For your first concert with La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra, you will present works by Claude Debussy and Tristan Murail. Is this a logical choice?
I think so. The piece by Tristan Murail was chosen because I am devoted to contemporary music. Or let's say that I rummage around willingly in the contemporary repertoire, thus leading people to think that I do nothing but that, which is not true in my case. I also like to perform the classical repertoire as well as later works, such as Debussy, for example. Debussy is a composer who interests me enormously, in particular because his work is situated at the crossroads of different periods. His music is very beautiful, and may still be qualified as romantic, although it already pointed towards the future. Debussy was a revolutionary in his own way. I prefer not to mention my favourites, but I find that he was a very important composer. I am crazy about his music.
What appeals to you in particular about Debussy's music?
First of all, the French palette fascinates me. This palette is found much later in the music of Messiaen and Boulez, for example, with the same atmosphere and an orchestration which is just as refined. Of course, this typical palette is also determined by harmony. Harmony is a very important aspect with Debussy. One may rightly say that this composer freed harmony of its functionality, whereby the hierarchy between the degrees of the tonal scale such as tonic, dominant, etc. becomes much more flexible. In its place is a musical logic of its own, which is very different: the chords are widened and the harmony even sounds jazzy at times. Under the surface, Debussy is very modern, which is why I find his music so fascinating.
The three works by Debussy all have a link with dance – with ballet.
Yes, all three of them are linked to dance, yet they are very different. Images is the biggest symphonic score of the three, whereas La boite à joujoux may be qualified as chamber music and is very visual, like sign language. Jeux is somewhere between the two, with a large orchestra, huge musical arches and then suddenly a very fragmented score. Our most important task will be to find the movement and to allow the character of each piece to be expressed individually.
It is a big challenge to perform Debussy.
Yes, indeed. The fragility resides in all of the spontaneous changes, which only have an effect if they are fully integrated into the piece as a whole. It is quite different from the typical German progression which keeps moving on its own once it has begun. We are not presenting an easy programme.
And how do you feel about the jump from Debussy to Murail?
There is a link between them, but since the road is one hundred years long from one to the other, the link is perhaps not obvious. It is of course impossible to explain in detail all of the intermediate steps from Debussy to Murail, but we must certainly consider Messiaen and Boulez. Murail's musical conception is related to that of Debussy insofar as harmony and colour are one. In his music, colour emanates from harmony and the sound spectrum. I do not think that Murail views music in the same way as Debussy, but the French tone and – to some extent – orchestration are found in his music, with the same clear colours which produce a lighter and brighter effect. Debussy's music can be very powerful, without ever being aggressive; Murail's music is not aggressive either, but the angles are more pronounced.
You say that the colour in Murail's music comes from the 'sound spectrum'. What do you mean by that?
Murail's score falls within the scope of spectral music, which means that the composer uses acoustic aspects of sound – or sound spectra – as basic material in his or her work. In Murail's work, the chords are much more developed than they were in Debussy's time. These chords are based on sound 'harmonics'. Murail's music contains this spectralism. It also goes well beyond the ninth, eleventh and thirteenth chords used in jazz harmony.
Is this the sound universe of Murail's Contes cruels?
Contes cruels is a work for two electric guitars and small ensemble. This work is remarkable above all due to its use of micro-intervals [musical intervals of less than a semitone] – another element of the spectral aspect which I just mentioned. Without a doubt, this is what will produce the strangest effect in this piece. But generally speaking, Murail's language is full of imagery, with huge arches and a clear construction which is not unusual. My work with the orchestra shall consist in bringing out the beauty of the chords. This type of music is confronted with many prejudices, which result from the fact that we are not looking for true colours. This is of course not the composer's fault. Like all French music, this music is also extremely aesthetic, which is what I shall try to emphasise.

Most political experts in the Commonwealth will concede that the majority of voters will cast their ballots for or against a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages, based mainly on emotion. But what are the tangible consequences such a ban could have on Kentucky's gay community?
According to the General Accounting Office of Congress, married couples receive almost 1400 legal rights once they leave the altar, but many of those rights are not conveyed to same-sex couples.
Some of those rights include:
Gay rights advocates say whether couples are allowed to marry or not, all unions should be given the same privileges.
Gay marriage and civil union opponents maintain the institution of marriage and its benefits should remain limited to unions involving a man and woman.

Five sites are located in the Cleveland area and include Brooklyn High School, the location Elvis played his first concert north of the Mason-Dixon line and WJW Radio, home to Deejay Alan Freed who popularized the term "rock and roll."

Award Show Mania
I'm a sucker for award shows. I love seeing who showed up with who, who's wearing what, and of course waiting to see what sort of crazy shenanigans will be caught live on camera. After tonight's People's Choice Awards I'm sure there will be plenty to gossip about tomorrow!
I'm especially looking forward to the performances tonight. My homeboys and (homegirl!) in Cobra Starship are nominated for Favorite Music Collaboration for their irresistible single "Good Girls Go Bad" featuring Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl. If you don't know this jam, you should really crawl out from that rock you've been living under and check them out tonight. Among the other hundred or so nominees are The Hills for Favorite TV Obsession, P!nk and Carrie Underwood for Best Female Performer, and Twilight for Favorite Movie (duh).

There's a really nice gourmet store in my area called Bon Appetit Fine Foods that I like to stop in and look around every so often. They carry all sorts of edible delights, but I'm obviously interested in the chocolate and candy that they carry. It seems that their stock changes slightly every time I go. On one of my more recent trips I discovered these bags of panned chocolate candies from France. I picked up two different kinds, and this is one of them.
"Pomme d' Amor" or "Apple of Love" is what these are called. How lovely! They're pieces of apple, from the looks of the package it's either dried or a jelly of some kind. It's then covered in milk chocolate and then again in a colored white chocolate or confectioner's glaze. I don't read French so I couldn't really tell you. I'm guessing that each color is a different flavor or variety of apple. Or perhaps not. Only one way to find out!
Yellow Brown Speckled: Hard for me to place, but it has a big fruity flavor with a bright sour note and something very cinnamon about it. The interior jelly's texture is nice, a little softer than I expected.
Green: The jelly in this is much softer and darker in color. This is very pear tasting. The fruity flavor is strong and combined with the chocolate here it has a cheesy essence to it. Strange to read I know, but trust me, it's an odd thing to taste! This also has an odd spiciness to it.
Red: This one just tastes sweet and I finally taste a little of the chocolate. No extreme fruity or spicy notes here.
Orange/Yellow Speckled: The most chocolatey out of the bunch. It still has a big sweetness to it; you get some of the chocolate and the rest just burns away with the sugar. The jelly is a light "golden" flavor, but other then delivering a slight tartness toward the finish of the piece, there's not much to mention
I really needed a glass of water after these.
These were fun to try, but not something I was impressed with. It's also nothing I'd particularly crave either. I could see these working as a nice accompaniment to a cheese dessert platter maybe. But alone as a treat, I don't like it much.

Just loving this Michael James & Federico Grazzini track we stumbled across. Called "Magnetic," the deep house track features super chill vocals from a lovely lady by the name of The Real O'C.
Definitely wait until the 1:20 mark so you can really hear her voice, which feels like a cross between Adele and Corrine Bailey Rae – loving the juxtaposition of the soulful vocals against the slightly trance-ish track.
The track is part of new label Channel Zoo's first release, the 001 EP.

The Romneys have returned to the Park City real estate market with a slopeside mansion in Deer Valley.
County Courthouse property records recently were updated to reflect a sale of a house on Silver Lake Drive to a firm called Deer Valley SR, LLC. State records identify Ann Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney, as the manager of Deer Valley SR, LLC. She signed the articles of organization, which identify the firm's purpose as real estate holdings. The state Division of Corporations & Commercial Code received the articles of organization on Aug. 22.
A document known as a warranty deed, logged in the Summit County Recorder's Office on Sept. 9, shows the interest in the house was conveyed to the Deer Valley SR, LLC firm. The county's property records normally lag behind a sale.
The Summit County Assessor's Office values the house and the land it sits on at $3.7 million. The estimated property taxes in 2013 are $33,648.36, according to the Assessor's Office.
The house had been listed for $8.9 million.
The Romneys have had real estate connections to Park City since the middle of the 1990s. The family bought a house on Rising Star Lane in Solamere in 1995 and owned the mansion until 2009.
Romney remains popular in Park City and surrounding Summit County from his days leading the 2002 Winter Olympics, when upward of half of the events were held in the Park City area.
Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, won Summit County with 50.
He held gatherings with top-tier Republicans in Deer Valley during the past two summers. The event in 2012, occurring amid the campaign, was especially noteworthy as several hundred people traveled to Park City to spend time preparing for the fall politicking.

Do Not Stand Idly By.
Congo Overview
Congo Background
Democratic Republic of Congo is still regularly listed as the site of one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Congo should be rich from its gold, diamonds and minerals, yet millions of its people suffer from a lethal combination of disease and hunger caused by ongoing conflict and displacement.
Women Under Siege
The war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is formally over, but women and girls remain targets for violence. The actual number of women and girls raped in eastern Congo is unknown, but experts say the scale is enormous (hundreds of thousands have been reported).
Conflict Minerals
The conflict in eastern Congo, the deadliest in the world since World War II, is being fueled by a multi-million dollar trade in minerals that go into our electronic products from cell phones to digital cameras. The armed groups that are perpetrating the violence generate an estimated $144 million each year by trading tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.
Child Soldiers
Children are particularly vulnerable during conflict – and nowhere in the world is this more true than in the Democratic Republic of Congo. One of the most devastating issues in this conflict is the frequent and ongoing abduction of children – some as young as nine – into armed groups.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bones colors in photos can sometimes mislead Overall I am quite happy with the carpet. It's a good thickness and soft to walk on. It shags a bit, but that was addressed in the description and should dissipate over time. With the additional pricing promotional discount, it was a real good deal. Having said that, I had to adjust my expectations regarding the color. The photo depiction shows the rug's interior rectangular color as being much more neutral / beige than the true color which is much greener. Fortunately I like the green as well, and it still compliments my furniture. However, the photo on the web site should be updated with better lighting because it is a bit misleading. January 24, 2013
