Bipalium adventitium — Part 4
In part 3 of this series, I attempted to feed a slug, Megapallifera mutabilis, to my "pet" planarian Bipalium adventitium. The planarian refused. In the comments, Megan P. suggested that I repeat the experiment with baby slugs. You see, as long as it is in the name of science, we can even feed babies to predators. We are collecting data here.
I thought Megan's idea was worth a try, but I was freshly out of baby slugs. Luckily, Megan had some and was willing to part with a few. So, last Thursday I visited her lab at the University of MD and returned home with 3 juvenile Philomycus carolinianus, another native species in our favorite slug family the Philomycidae. And early this evening, I offered them to El Depredador that had been waiting patiently in the basement.
So far the slugs have survived. But the night is young and there is plenty of time for a surprise pharynx eversion.
To be continued.

While is still celebrated in our country by many people, its original intent seems to have been somewhat forgotten. Memorial Day today appears to have become a celebration of the beginning of summer rather than a day to remember and honor the many men and women who have dedicated and given the lives for the sake of our freedom.
The actual origins of Memorial Day are somewhat unclear. Many different cities/towns claim to have started the holiday, so it is hard to determine when/where/how it started. The one thing that is clear is the intent of the holiday. It was created to remember those that gave their life for our country. The men and women who made that sacrifice have earned the right to have a special day set aside for them to be honored and appreciated.
So as you're at any cookouts or the beach, or doing whatever you do on Memorial Day, take the time to remember the men and women who have sacrificed so much for all of us. It's the least we can do to honor those who are providing us with all the freedoms that we enjoy, and many times, take for granted.

Bane's Capitol
In The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan reaches the light at the end of his Batman trilogy's dark, doomy tunnel
By Matthew Singer 07/26/2012
The Dark Knight Rises
Directed by Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, language and some sensuality
2 hrs. 45 mins.
"I always knew there was nothing for you here but pain and tragedy," Michael Caine's Alfred tells Christian Bale's gimpy, reclusive Bruce Wayne at the start of The Dark Knight Rises. So did the rest of us, Al; Christopher Nolan's made sure of that. Through the first two films in his unremittingly dour Batman trilogy, the director stripped the world's most tortured superhero down to his psychic wounds and let them bleed out onto the monochrome streets of Gotham.
Here's the thing, though: Underneath the pall of ashen gloom, these are still movies about a guy in a cape who fights crime. And for all the critical appraisals that would have us believe Nolan is making steroidal tributes to Ingmar Bergman, their success is measured by the same criteria facing any film based on a comic book: How empathetic is the hero? How threatening is the villain? And how often do the action scenes make us compulsively high-five our buddies in the theater?
In each regard, The Dark Knight Rises — the final installment of Nolan's triptych — outdoes its predecessors. It's better written and better paced. Its set pieces, including a midair plane hijacking and an imploding football field, are more spectacular. And, despite ongoing themes of torment and loss, it's the most exciting, purely pleasurable entry in the series. Sure, it's still plenty broody, but take away the grim veneer and you'll find the framework of a traditional, rousing superhero movie, and one that ends with an unambiguous message of hope.
But first: the pain and tragedy. Eight years after his alter ego took the fall for Harvey Dent's death, Bruce Wayne lives as a battered hermit, limping around his mansion in self-imposed exile. Forces conspire to draw him out of retirement: master thief Selina Kyle (a superbly slinky Anne Hathaway), who sneaks out of a soiree at Wayne Manor with his family jewels and, more worryingly, his fingerprints; a rookie cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who deduces Wayne's identity and wants his Batman back; a philanthropist (Marion Cotillard) pushing Wayne Enterprises to reinvest in a halted clean-energy project; and a threat so imposing it finally compels him to respond.
As Bane, a carved-from-granite mercenary bent on exacting a violent redistribution of wealth against Gotham's 1 percent, Tom Hardy intimidates with hulking menace. Muzzled by an apparatus that appears fashioned from one of Alien's facehuggers, it is, by nature, a more constrained performance than Heath Ledger's boundlessly manic Joker, but what Hardy lacks in anarchic charisma he makes up for in sheer physicality. His first confrontation with Batman, in the sewers beneath Gotham, is the franchise's most viscerally brutal moment. I can't recall when a superhero has ever been made to look so powerless. It's like watching Kimbo Slice beat up a cosplayer in the Comic-Con parking lot.
Oddly enough, getting the everloving piss kicked out of him is the best thing that could've happened to Bruce Wayne. For all his searing brilliance, Ledger's outsized presence shunted Bale's self-pitying billionaire playboy to the margins of his own movie. He made Batman seem boring. In that way, Hardy is the more effective antagonist, because he puts the sympathy back on the hero. It's the Rocky principle: A guy gets knocked down that hard, you want to see him get up again.
It goes to show that, for all the talk of Nolan reinventing the epic-sized box-office juggernaut, he's working with familiar templates. He may have drained the superhero film of its Technicolor, but he didn't change its basic shape. The Dark Knight Rises is still one of the best films of the year, for what it is rather than what some so stringently argue it isn't. A certain segment of the audience will find that disappointing, as if the only way for this kind of movie to qualify as high art is to detach completely from its ink-and-paper roots. In the words of somebody we used to know, I ask: Why so serious?

College Hockey:Wolverines Edge Bowling Green
Late Second Period Goal Holds Up
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Surviving a frenzied final two minutes, Michigan freshman netminder Bryan Hogan won the battle of freshman goaltenders, edging his Bowling Green freshman counterpart, Nick Eno, Saturday night in the Wolverine's 3-2 win over the Falcons at Yost Arena.
Not only did Hogan turn aside 20 Falcons' shots, he nearly found the empty Bowling Green net with a rink-long shot of his own while Michigan was killing off a Chad Kolarik minor penalty during the final two minutes of the game. Hogan's shot ricocheted off the side of the empty Falcon net. For his part, Eno blocked 25 Michigan shots.
Of his near goal, Hogan said, "I was just thinking about clearing the puck. The only lane I saw was down the middle."
"Well…yeah, I was thinking, 'Oh, my god, I have a chance here," continued Hogan. "But, it is what it is. I will remember that for the rest of my life."
Bowling Green pulled Eno to gain a sixth attacker in an attempt to even the game in the closing seconds, but couldn't solve Hogan and the Michigan defense.
Jacob Cepis provided all of the Falcons' firepower on the night, scoring his fifth and sixth goals of the season in the second period.
Brandon Naurato's goal with only six seconds remaining in the second period held up through the scoreless third period, proving to be the difference in the game.
"The player on Bowling Green just tried icing the puck at the end of the period and (Steve) Kampfer kept it in and passed to Carl (Hagelin)," said Naurato of the game-winner. "Carl dropped it back to me. I just put it on net and it went in."
"I think we were lucky," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "We had good goaltending, but, it is not the kind of hockey we want to play. We have to give Bowling green credit. They were probably the better team on the ice tonight."
"It's frustrating in the fact that we come away empty when I think we had two really good games," said Bowling Green coach Scott Paluch. "It was very closely contested. I was proud of the way our team was able to come back after being down 2-0 early, but, we gave up the late goal (in the second period) and it proved to be the difference."
"We're right there," said a frustrated Cepis of the two close losses in successive nights. "We're competing with the best teams and we're right there."
The Wolverines jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first period despite being outshot by Bowling Green 9-7.
While playing shorthanded, Matt Rust tipped a blue line cross-ice pass to center ice. The Michigan freshman chased the puck down, sped down the left side alone, cut in on Eno and flipped a backhand into the upper right corner of the net at 3:42.
Michigan upped their lead to two on a power play at 12:31. Kevin Porter's one-time snap shot from the right half-boards whistled over Eno's outstretched glove.
The Falcons fought right back in the second period on the two Cepis goals.
Capitalizing on a two-man advantage just over two minutes into the period, Cepis' shot from the left point traveled through a maze of players, clanked off the post to Hogan's right and deflected into the net.
Cepis hopped on a Hogan rebound at 12:10 and roofed the tying score over the Michigan netminder.
The Wolverines were fortunate to escape the period with the lead. With only six seconds remaining in the period, a failed Falcons attempt to clear their defensive zone bounced onto Naurato's stick. Naurato's shot found its way past Eno to salvage the period and the game for Michigan.
Both the Falcons (8-6-0, 5-5-0 CCHA) and the Wolverines (16-2-0, 11-1-0 CCHA) get a three-week break from game action until after Christmas. Each team will hit the ice again on December 28; Michigan will meet Providence at the Great Lakes Invitational at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit while Bowling Green will face Northeastern at the Badger Classic in Madison.

MUSIC NEWS - 3 Doors Down bassist, Todd Harrell, faces a driving under the influence charge after his arrest Tuesday in Mississippi. Police found Harrell "slumped over the steering wheel" of a vehicle stopped at an intersection in D'Iberville, MS, a police statement released Wednesday said.
Harrell, 42, "showed signs of impairment and was arrested and charged with 2nd offense DUI," police said. The rocker was charged with vehicular homicide in Nashville, TN, last April after his speeding car allegedly clipped a pickup truck, sending it down an embankment and killing the driver, according to a Davidson County, TN, sheriff's spokesman.

Hello my friends :) Thought I'd mark the first day of school here with pictures of this cool old highschool that I took while walking past it the other day.
It is called Central Tech, located on Bathurst south of Bloor. Situated on what was once a big apple orchard, the building of it began 99 years ago, with the first corner stone being laid on September 3rd, 1913. This was during the industrial revolution and there was much demand for education in fields such as chemistry, math, physics, drafting and mechanical engineering. Enrollment began with about 150 daytime students, with a whopping 1,600 more people attending evening classed. I found it interesting to read that when it opened such a large majority were night school students, older people who had to attend after working during the day. In this part of the city they would not so much have been working on farms, like children who were kept from school would have been in the rest of the country, but rather probably working at city jobs and construction, as so much was being built at this time.
It was interesting to read that this school was co-ed, with the girls have their own entrance and stairwells, in addition to being the only ones taught in the classrooms on the top floor. So while it was co-ed, there was no mingling of the genders at school back then!
Central Tech is the only school in all of Toronto that has the right to bear the crest of the city, because it is the only school that was build with only city funds and no provincial or federal money. Now-a-days enrollment has reached 2,500 day students.
Hey, see if you can spot the difference between these two pictures! lol.
In my time, I have passed it often, as the streetcar up Bathurst goes right by it, on the way to the subway line that used to whisk me to my day job. And though I've seen it so many times, I never fail to gaze at it as I pass. Oftentimes I've been looking at the strip of trees along Bathurst street, that I've seen grow from brand new seedlings, into the trees you see here, blocking the view! But they are still very young trees so have a lot of growing yet to do.
I feel sorry for the people returning to school today, because, while the weather has been absolutely gorgeous for days, today is very gloomy and very wet. It began with a major downpour, right at 8am, just as those back to school photographs would have been being snapped. And right now as I write, the thunder is booming and the rain is steaming down.
And since I have something that I am REALLY loving today and want to tell you about, I am going to turn this post into a 'Loving Lately' one, by inserting this next picture that includes a heart. (That's the rule for my 'Loving Lately' posts!). This picture was also taken at a cool old school, which I actually discussed on the first day of school last year, here.
And what is it I love? Well, yesterday I saw a hummingbird in our yard! It is the only time in the 10+ years that I've ever seen one here, and in fact, the only one I have ever seen in downtown Toronto in my life. It was actually Nick who spotted it out the window, feeding at our huge hibiscus bush. He told me to come quick and I caught a glimpse of it flitting around no more than 5 feet from me. The sighting lasted no more than 10 seconds but now I am happy. Oh yes, it is the little things in life which decorate one's days, that aught to be cherished! And let me assure you, this tiny hummingbird was indeed a little thing.
Thank you for visiting. If you or people you love returned to school today, I hope it went well.

AMD Launches the AMD FirePro R5000 Remote Graphics Card for Deployment in Data Centers; Offers an easy and flexible workstation-class 3D and multimedia user experience over networks
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the arrival of the AMD FirePro(TM) R5000 remote graphics card, a flexible, manageable solution designed and engineered to power remote 3D-graphics workflows and full computing experiences over IP networks. The energy-, space- and cost-efficient AMD FirePro R5000 is the ideal solution for IT managers operating in data center environments where limited space, power budgets and cooling costs pose a constant challenge.
The AMD FirePro R5000 combines AMD's Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture with Teradici's PCoIP technology, and delivers a 3D experience with low latency transmission - ideal for mid-range multimonitor endpoints such as those used by CAD, medical imaging and financial services professionals. The AMD FirePro R5000 also complements IT security protocols by safeguarding corporate IP, since critical information never leaves the data center.
"IT professionals are looking for a secure and straight forward cloud-based graphics solution that delivers core functionality capable of adapting to meet each employee's unique graphics needs," said David Cummings, senior director and general manager of AMD Professional Graphics. "The AMD FirePro R5000 meets these needs, delivering the flexibility, functionality, security and industry-leading graphics capabilities companies look for when deciding on a remote graphics solution." AMD FirePro R5000 Remote Graphics Features and Benefits "With the introduction of the AMD FirePro R5000 with Teradici PCoIP processor, IT departments now have powerful centralized computing solutions that are easy to manage, and deliver the graphics performance required to handle high resolution images, video and 3D models with ease," said Trent Punnett, vice president of Product Management, System Engineering and Corporate Development at Teradici. "In addition, the AMD FirePro R5000 can be brokered and managed by VMware View giving a common broker and management window across both workstation and VDI desktops, and works with PCoIP zero clients that are offered by an ecosystem of over 30 OEMs." The AMD FirePro R5000 is rigorously tested by AMD to ensure readiness for demanding professional use. It is a durable remote graphics solution intended to increase asset utilization density, meet real-world workloads and ultimately help IT minimize operating costs and time spent on servicing individual systems.
"Tasked with finding a thin client solution capable accelerating real-time 2D and basic 3D graphics for game development and computer animation classes, we turned to AMD's first generation remote graphics product, the ATI FirePro(TM) RG220," said Mahesh Neelakanta, director of the Technical Services Group, Florida Atlantic University. "Not only were we able to conserve energy and save time on system maintenance, the graphics cards were able to handle video, 2D images and animations, and 3D elements without bogging down the system or noticeable pixelation. Offering a more powerful GPU, four times the memory and nearly eight times the memory bandwidth of the RG220, the R5000 will allow us to deploy remote systems for our more advanced classes and configure multimonitor set ups our students will eventually encounter in the workplace." Backed by a three-year warranty and planned three-year minimum lifecycle, the AMD FirePro R5000 will be available from select retailers and channel partners.

Inside JWT: Music Supervision and Production at a Large Advertising Agency
MIDTOWN, MANHATTAN:In the land of music, the commercial is king. As the world's major agencies vie for accounts that can be worth billions of dollars a year in billings, one of the key ways they prove themselves is with their ability to match brands to bands.
This ferocious competition plays out on TV sets, radio dials, Web video, and mobile devices by the minute. It's not surprising, then, that the music executives on Madison Avenue can make a major impact on the bottom line of professionals across the sound spectrum: composers, artists, mixers, audio post houses, publishers, record labels, libraries, synch search services, and more can all be significantly affected by their decisions on a campaign.
Now zoom in on the legendary agency JWT. Occupying a towering atrium in midtown, JWT (known as J. Walter Thompson until 2005) stands as the fourth-largest advertising agency in the world, and its nearly 10,000 employees get creative for some of the globe's most recognizable corporations: Bloomberg Media, Diageo, Energizer, Johnson & Johnson, Macy's, Rolex and Royal Caribbean are just a few of their blue-chip clients.
The man who pulls all the sound together for this enviable portfolio is Paul Greco. As Director of Music and Radio for JWT, Greco leads an experienced team tasked with putting an effective sonic imprint on their advertising campaigns. While Greco may be viewed as a gatekeeper by many, part of his personal mission is opening things up, and shedding as much light as possible on how a top ad agency achieves its aural aims – rather than keeping the process under wraps.
Building the Perfect Ad Music Department
Greco's beginnings track back to the mid-'80's, when he was an audio post engineer. But facilities led to agencies BBDO and then Young & Rubicam, where he enjoyed a near 14-year run. At Y&R he produced original music and licensed music by everyone from the Beatles to Fountains of Wayne, Cyndi Lauper and St. Germain in the process. After a stop at publisher Spirit Music Group and a freelancing stint in 2011, Greco was back in the agency saddle where he belongs.
"When the opportunity came to lead the group here, I didn't hesitate," Greco says. "I really like multifaceted, big agencies, and JWT has great accounts and a really good reputation. I thought it was a great chance to lead a department and formulate it the way I always wanted to.
"It's a slow process, but we're getting there. We're working towards a combination of a strong music production department, a very well-put-together licensing department, and really strong radio production. Put them all under one roof, and blend them into one."
Like a lot of top NYC agencies, JWT has invested significantly in developing in-house facilities and talent for composing, sound design and mixing. Still, Greco estimates that 90% of JWT's original music-related work goes to outside vendors, which means that building relationships with outside music companies is one of his top priorities.
With that network in hand, Greco and his co-pilot at JWT, Music Producer and Supervisor Dan Burt, transition to the role of translator as a campaign's musical needs begin to emerge. "We have to have a great relationship with the agency's creative directors, so we can interpret what they're looking for," Greco explains. "Sometimes they can express their needs in a very non-musical way, which is to be expected if they're not musicians. Then we take these non-musical instructions to composers and arrangers, in music-speak, so that they have a clear understanding of what we need."
Whether a spot's soundtrack comes from original music or a licensed track, making sure that the sonic idea never gets lost in translation is critical to the success of the campaign. "It's a lot more important than most people realize," says Burt. "The object of a commercial is for someone to pay attention to it. A lot of people like to watch music videos. If a commercial has some of that same appeal, people are more likely to spend some time with it."
"Music connects to the consumer," Greco adds. "When the film of a commercial is over, it's over, but if the music makes a connection, then people are humming it later on – you take it around with you. The music is something that people will seek out, and it's very helpful for a brand when it can attach to that. So the result of the right piece of music is more long-term equity for advertisers."
How the Musical Concept Evolves
For Greco and Burt, the aforementioned translation process begins when a campaign's creative director comes to them, with anything from highly produced video to a storyboard to just a vague concept in hand.
"Sometimes we get clear instructions, and sometimes we have to help figure it out," says Greco. "Often what we hear is, 'We don't know what we want, but we know we need music.' So we find example tracks that we play for the creatives, and say, 'Is it something like this, or is it more like this other option?' Playing examples can help direct us to what they want.
"Then we say to a music company, a licensing agency, a label, or one of our other resources, 'They want something like this. Let's make this tone or genre work.' That can be the most effective way — finding an example that exists, and then moving things in that direction. We can then communicate a style, tempo, or even just a vibe."
Since the experience of music is notoriously subjective, Greco and Burt have learned over the years that a creative director's initial request for hip hop can eventually lead to a genre on the other side of the musical map, once the search process gets underway. "In many cases I've learned to give them what they want – not what they ask for!" Greco laughs. "It's often up to us to figure out what the creative team is really seeking out.
"Sometimes creatives are very astute with a good working knowledge of music, and they'll say, 'I would really love be-bop here.' That's obviously an easier time, when we work with creatives who have a musical sense and can verbalize what they want."
When Greco senses a discrepancy between what's being requested and what he thinks the brand message may be better suited for, he's learned how to gently shift the creative team's perspective.
"Sometimes we'll say to them, 'What if we also tried this?' Hearing is believing, and you have to show them. You can tell them about a superior music selection, but sometimes you have to actually give them something additional to listen to. That can mean pulling in another example track, or asking a music company to record an additional demo that shows another genre."
The Music Search Begins
Once the music needs start to come into focus, Greco and Burt will make the Almighty Call that gets a music provider in on the project. If an in-house JWT composer isn't selected, then Greco will look first to the people who have come through for him before.
"We all have relationships that we've built over the years, and you tend to come back to them because they have a track record of delivering," he points out. "But we're also willing to work with new companies if they show they're doing something interesting. We may see their reel, something on YouTube, or elsewhere and say, 'That's a cool track. We want to do something like that.' Composers and music houses that we haven't worked with before often call us and say, 'We want to meet with you,' and we try. But our day is pretty packed – it's not always easy to get in front of us."
While unsolicited songs from indie artists show up in Greco and Burt's email boxes all the time, the odds of this tactic resulting in a synch license on an ad campaign are extremely small. "It never really works," says Greco. "The song works in the artist's mind, but they don't know the creative brief for the brand. They say, 'We have a song about soda, and you have a soda client.' But there's a brand brief about what the brand is, and that song could be completely off from that.
"So unless you really know what the brand strategy is, these out-of-the-blue pitches are pointless. That's why it's better when we call them [the music provider], and say 'Here's the strategy, here's the idea, gear your thoughts around this strategic approach.'"
While Greco is sympathetic to the multitude of young/hungry composers looking to move up, there are limitations on how far he can go to give them their big break. "It's hard – there's only so many music companies out there, and only so much work. Music licensing takes up some of the spot work, and then people are fighting for the remainder of the original music pie. There are a lot of really great music companies out there, and I wish I could work with all of them. I'd love to give everybody a shot, but it's just not that easy."
Campaign Focus: Brand USA
Of course, another factor that guides an ad agency's musical direction on a campaign is the budget. Greco and Burt may find themselves working with a $5,000 music allowance for a spot on Monday, then have $300,000 available for another spot on Tuesday.
But no matter what the available funds are for a campaign, reaching a consensus can be an adventurous process. For example, one of JWT's big wins recently was landing the United States Travel & Tourism|Brand USA account, a partnership which promotes increased international travel to the United States. Greco's team set out with a healthy music budget and a directive to synch license the perfect track – a job that proved easier said than done.
"Brand USA was looking for the perfect song that had a musical invitation for people outside the US to come and visit," Greco says. "It had to be the right song, with the right lyrics, from the right artist. The thought was, 'Let's find a track that everybody knows. We can use the notoriety of the song and that will be the brand piece.' But after literally hundreds of pieces of music, there was no one track that everybody could agree on. That wasn't surprising to me – there were a lot of people involved in the decision-making process."
Sensing that the perfect synch license wasn't going to emerge, Greco put his world-class connections to work. "I suggested that we have something original written, performed by an artist that people would know and fit the brand's personality. That way the brand would also have something that it could own, rather than licensing a track that might also be heard on a car commercial a year from now."
The heavyweight solution: Greco called John Leventhal, a GRAMMY Award-winning music producer for NYNoise, who also happens to be married to Rosanne Cash. Not long after, the perfect song, "Land of Dreams," was made – not found – and the newly-launched campaign (it debuted on April 23rd) had its own distinctive sonic centerpiece.
"Rosanne and John wrote it, John produced it, Rick DePofi and Craig Bishop at NYNoise recorded it, and everyone loved it," says Greco. "That's a case where an original song trumped the idea of licensing one. Now the brand can use it, and it will be associated with them alone. We are getting great feedback about the song."
Licensing Trends, and Tracking Down Tracks
For agency music supervisors like Paul Greco and Dan Burt, part of what makes their job enjoyable are new methods for filling their clients' myriad music needs. These can come in the form of fresh twists on classic catalogs, or any of the online search methods that continue to evolve and emerge.
"If the client needs something immediately for a spot that's otherwise finished, we'll look into licensing a track," Burt says. "More often now clients are looking for original music, but they want it to sound like a track off an artist's album. And yet another approach is to license the publishing, but re-record the master, which is something we did last year with Amber Music for Royal Caribbean." (Go here to see how Amber Music producer Leo Sidran re-recorded the 1941 song "Are We Having Fun Yet" for this ear-catching :30 spot).
"There are a lot of times where we're just licensing the publishing of a song, and then putting a different spin on it," Greco adds. "You might get the publishing for a Beatles song, and do a string quartet arrangement of that, for example. That way, you take something that people know, but now it gets associated specifically with the spot and the brand. We did that recently for Smirnoff, when we used a completely different indie rock arrangement of the 1987 KISS song 'Crazy, Crazy Nights' with Big Foote Music and indie arist Sun for Moon." (View the video here.)
Seemingly every day, a new online-enabled service launches with the business model of directing music supervisors to ready-to-license tracks. At JWT, these resources have their advantages and disadvantages. "When I started here 10 years ago, stock music was terrible," Burt says bluntly, "but now you can find good stuff. People like Jingle Punks, Sir Groovy, and Music Dealers are working with real artists. They're not stock – they're more like indie labels with legit bands, but they're one-stop shops for publishing and master licensing."
But as with all good things, the cup can runneth over. Some synch services have thousands of tracks to choose from in their sophisticated search engines, resulting in an overload of options that ironically reduces their usefulness. "You have to whittle it down," Greco says. "They all have their own search engines, but we don't have the time to use them. They have pretty good music supervisors, so it's easier for us to call them and say, 'Here's the brief.'"
Whether JWT is reaching out, or an upstart music provider manages to get these decision makers' valuable attention, Greco and Burt reiterate the old wisdom that instrumental versions of songs should always be at the ready. "We can't listen to everything that comes to us, but it's great when an undiscovered piece cuts through," says Greco. "Instrumental versions of songs are very helpful. That's because sometimes the band track is great, but the vocals are in the way. I might hear something and say, 'Forget the verse, but I love the hook.'"
"It's hard to find a home for a track with vocals on it, but instrumentals can work for a lot of things," Burt notes. "One line in the chorus might say the wrong thing, and then you can't use it. But with the instrumental, you have a lot more latitude. Or, the other option is if your songs have a positive message that can be applied to many different things. Tim Myers is one example – he makes a ton of songs that are super catchy, and they've been in ads for Target, Google, JC Penney."
All of which is in line with what Greco sees as being part of the overall licensing trend in advertising, which is moving away from Led Zeppelin-sized acquisitions. "The famous song is less requested now, and more often its, 'Let's find the next great indie band.' Brands want to find the next cool song, so they can put it out there and be able to say, 'We were the ones to find it.'"
Audio Post is in The House
Adding on to the options available to JWT's music team, virtually all of their needs can be handled with dedicated in-house facilities at JWTwo. Composing, mixing, sound design, and radio can all be expedited by an experienced staff that's available exclusively for JWT's clients.
While there has been an ebb and flow in the industry-wide offering of these services in-house, Greco sees this as a period where it's on the rise once again. "It seems that more and more agencies are trying to pull some aspects of audio production in-house, because of the revenue it can generate – just like any other audio post facility, we bill our clients," he says. "There are not as many agencies that can do music and sound design in-house, but we're one of the ones that can."
With veteran sound designers like Alan Friedman making up the award-winning full-time audio staff, JWT's creatives have the advantage of getting essential new sonic elements in an instant – a necessity considering today's notoriously tight advertising production deadlines.
"If we're in the middle of a job and someone says, 'I wish we had a musical end tag, or a new underscore,' we can do all that," states Greco. "With creatives' and producers' schedules as tightly packed as they are, that's a big competitive advantage. There's a major convenience factor in having a professionally equipped and solidly staffed studio here, but there's also trust — our creatives and producers have built up a relationship with these engineers.
"That's the bottom line: We can outfit these rooms with the best equipment in the world, but if talent isn't onboard, it won't matter. We get our fair share of the work here, because the guys are really that good."
As an ad man who started his career at an audio post facility, Greco relates with the distress that in-house agency facilities can cause to post houses in NYC and beyond. "I respect all of those places – I've worked at all of them and still do, and they're great at what they do," he says. "But this is the new business model of ad agencies. There are quarterly revenue statements that have to be met, every source of revenue that an agency can provide is very important, and this is one of them."
Ad Music: Makes it Move
The clients and distribution channels for advertising have changed considerably since the seeds of JWT were first sown in 1864, but the basic challenges of the trade might very well look familiar to the company's forefathers.
"It's always about budgets and schedule," Greco says. "Whether it's licensing the perfect song or producing the perfect track, we need time and money. But especially in an economy like today, there's always a squeeze at all ends."
But there's a very good reason to play through the pain: campaigns launched by an ad agency with the clout of JWT are experienced worldwide, created by a team of dedicated professionals who have made the art of advertising their craft. An amazing ad can have a global impact. "It's very fulfilling when you get it right," says Greco. "You've worked hard for three months, it looks good, it sounds good – there's a pride to that. You get to see your work and your input."
Ultimately, however, advertising is about getting results. When music choices are spot on, that's part of the equation that makes profits rise for agency clients. For Paul Greco, Dan Burt, and the rest of their team at JWT, the reward for that is another campaign and a fresh set of musical possibilities.
"If everything you did works, then they'll do it again," Greco concludes. "If the ad community likes what you did, that's great. But if it doesn't move the needle and sales don't go up, clients will try and find another thing. That's the end game in this business: We're selling stuff."

|Arithmetic Properties of Andrews' Singular Overpartitions
|Combinatorics/Partitions Seminar
|Dr. James Sellers, PSU
|In a very recent work, George Andrews defined the combinatorial objects which he called singular overpartitions with the goal of presenting a general theorem for overpartitions which is analogous to theorems of Rogers--Ramanujan type for ordinary partitions with restricted successive ranks. As a small part of his work, Andrews noted two congruences modulo 3 which followed from elementary generating function manipulations. In this talk, we show that Andrews' results modulo 3 are two examples of an infinite family of congruences modulo 3 which hold for that particular function. Time permitting, we will also expand the consideration of such arithmetic properties to other functions which are part of Andrews' framework for singular overpartitions. This is joint work with Shi-Chao Chen and Michael D. Hirschhorn.

The Mouse House has moved!
Thursday, February 07, 2013
For a good while, I have been positive that there is a mouse in our mattress! I can feel something moving in there, and something chewed a couple of big holes in the fitted sheet when I taped over a hole in the mattress wall from a spring breaking and poking out. I gripe about it every night because I have worried one would get on me, and several times I think it did. Now my husband thinks I've finally gone over the edge because he doesn't hear them or see signs of them. I don't know what he thinks made the holes in the sheet. All I know is that there is something in there and it's keeping me awake all hours of the night.
So after putting out trap after trap, I asked my husband to flip the mattress so that the hole would be on his side and he could enjoy the equivalent of a shiatsu massage as this mouse tunnels through the springs, etc. Well, I went up to see if it was done, and he put the side of the mattress at the head of the bed, so when I sat on the side, I nearly fell off. Mattress sides are usually built up so people can sit on the side of the bed comfortably. He didn't give me a solid reason for putting the hole side to the wall, but I think he was afraid that the mice would have a big party on his left hip during the night. He wanted to hedge his bets just in case one or more mice were in there.
Now that there is no access to the hole in the mattress, the mouse motel has closed--at least I hope it has. We think a mouse or two got in when our bathroom shower was being repaired. I heard a lot of noise in there and I think it was something rappelling down the glass shower door. That exit is now closed, so the mouse has to find new accommodations. I wish it would take a long vacation from our bedroom. I've always said that Hallmark and Disney are the only ones who think mice are cute.

In my house it would be time to buy a new mattress if I even thought there as a mouse in mine. Did I mention that I hate mice? Hope the mice are gone never to return!

Hope the mouse is gone! I too get paranoid if I even think there is a mouse in the house. I will put out traps in every room and hallway. I have never had one in our mattress though!

April 19, 2012
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Bob Ernst has done this before: Sparked a flat-lining Washington rowing team back to the top of the nation.
Actually, he's done just about everything at UW before.
Ernst has been leading Husky rowers since the first year of Gerald Ford's presidency. That's 1974, for those not yet born then.
"It took me 10 years to win a national championship when I took the guys' team over in 1987," Ernst said in his office at Conibear Shellhouse this week as he prepared the Huskies' second-ranked women's varsity eight for a Simpson Cup showdown with bitter rival and fourth-ranked California on Saturday in Redwood Shores, Calif.
"Let's just say both programs needed to be overhauled at the time," Ernst said of the UW men a quarter century ago and its women's team when he took it over again in 2007.
Ernst won six national championships from 1980-87 when he coached Washington women's crew, before he then took over the men's program from legendary coach Dick Erickson - and won two more national titles with the guys until he jumped back over to revive the women's team.
So he knows turning rebuilding into rewarding.
"You know, the biggest challenge is always redeveloping the culture," he said through bites of a lunch sandwich prior to practice on Monday. "Sometimes you can be a good athlete, but you have to have a significant number of them to where people train to win rather than just train to race. It's different.
"Changing the culture has been the biggest challenge. And finally - fortunately - we are getting enough really good athletes to have this change."
So good, this appears to be Washington's best chance in nearly a decade to end Cal's streak of eight consecutive dual-match victories over the Huskies and the Simpson Cup that goes annually to the winner of it. The Huskies have won 22 of the 33 dual races with the Bears, but none since 2003.
"I have a picture of the Cal crew team in my locker, from 1982," Ernst said. "I get paid to beat Cal. And it hasn't happened yet."
Not in this go-around with the UW women's team in a dual race, anyway.
UW chopped through wild waters on San Diego's Mission Bay that Ernst likened to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on April 1 to pass the Golden Bears and finish third in the Grand Final of the elite Crew Classic. Cal finished fourth, a fact Ernst noted this week.
"They are madder than hornets," the folksy, mustached Ernst said. "Those kids go to Cal because they want to beat Washington."
Washington hasn't won a conference championship with its women's varsity eight boat since 2002. That was also the season the Huskies won the last of their four NCAA championships. They slipped to a program-low 15th in the national finals in 2007, immediately before Ernst returned to run the women's program.
As UW's director of rowing, Ernst decided to install Michael Callahan to replace him on the men's side.
That's worked out OK.
Last summer Callahan's men won the program's 14th national championship in the varsity eight dating to 1913. And Ernst's women have gone from finishing second at the NCAAs in what he called his first, "honeymoon year" in 2008 to 11th at the national finals two years ago to currently being ranked behind only Virginia.
Ernst first reached the elite level of women's rowing in 1976 when he coached the United States' women's doubles boat at the Montreal Olympics. He also coached U.S. women's Olympic boats in 1980, in '84 (to a gold medal), and in '88.
One of his secrets to turning programs from in need of Ernst energy into elite? Basketball, volleyball and swimming meets.
Ernst attends the Washington state high school championships in each of those sports every year. He's invited by coaches across the state that have driven, athletically gifted young women who may not be getting a major college scholarship in their first sport.
Ernst loves those hidden gems. It's a reason he's leading Washington's women's program again.
Twenty-five percent of his current varsity-eight powerhouse are walk-ons: Erin Lauber was an all-state volleyball player and also started in basketball. Skye Pearman-Gillman was a top track runner and also played basketball. Each has since earned their scholarships, as well as a place on the top boat, at UW.
"And then the other six rowers are world-class rowers," Ernst said of his current varsity eight. "To have 25 percent of your lineup as walk-ons, that doesn't happen in any other sport."
Ernst explained that one of the reasons he wanted to coach the women's team again after coaching the UW men for 20 years -- "I didn't have to coach the women's team," he says - was because of these facts: There are roughly 85 women's intercollegiate, Division-I rowing teams. There are about 20 scholarships available for women in the sport at each of those schools.
"That's 1,700 full-ride scholarships every year. I'm here to tell you that there aren't 1,700 blue-chip recruits every year," he says. "And so it is an extremely interesting puzzle to solve."
A win at Cal on Saturday and a reclaiming of that Simpson Cup would show the puzzle is about solved with Husky women's crew.
"I'm a solver. I'm a builder," Ernst says, smiling. "I love that."

I'm a gun lover in general now. If it goes boom, I treat it right and proper and with respect like I treat a lady
"You'll never take my Beretta!" -- Joe Biden
The ol' Beretta 70 S in .22 Long Rifle with a set of special ordered factory flat grips was one of the best little .22s I ever owned. Way back when.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
My first pistol was a full sized PX4 in 9mm. I've had 1500+ problem free rounds go down range.
I often trust my life to this same Beretta, what more could I say.
I have owned four Beretta's, my first was a 70S in .380 back in the early 80's that I sold and regret it to this day. My next was a 92F Compact 9mm late 80's same senerio as the 70S. Which brings me to the two I own now, a 8040F Cougar and a 3032 Tomcat both bought in the 1999-2000 time frame. I have never had a problem with my Beretta's and would not hesitate to buy another.
Hey Daddydon, this thread's going all over the map. First you wanted to talk Beretta, then you moved it to a caliber discussion (you don't trust 9mm, but trust .45 acp), then you "treat 'em like a lady", and now you're reminding us not to trust politicians?
Sorry, I'm just easily confused.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
I had minimal experience with the military issued m9 and liked it. I've got nothing bad to say about them.
Dang nice number of responses..
And got Glock or ar15 forum fullLLL of haters ha...
Anyways most those people have never actually dealt with Beretta or just trust there friends friend who knew a guy that had one that fired it wrong and had a FTF or something so its a piece of ****..U get what I'm saying...
THey got glocks cause there cool and bababa bad.It's just ignorance..and biased opinions..whch mean nothing..
But this is nothing new to our world in any categorie of life :)
But its still dumb.and funny at the same time
The pX4 series is Amazing just do some research on it and all the tests and rounds they put it through Flawlessly..
I didn't see any haters on the thread, but if any do show up, please feel free to contact me regarding getting rid of your Beretta's.
Hard to find a better shotgun be it a double or semi-auto. I own four shotguns, a nano, a 92, and an M9 and the only way they are leaving me is from my cold dead hands.
A word to the wise isn't necessary, save it for the stupid
I have a 92G that is one fine firearm. I dust it off from time to time so it doesnt get jealous of my G27

Northrop Grumman, in partnership with Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic, has unveiled the preliminary design it is developing as part of DARPA's XS-1 Spaceplane project. Looking like a windowless update of a 1960s Dyna Soar orbiter, it's the next step in producing launch systems that will dramatically reduce the costs of getting into orbit.Read More
The commercialization of space travel is picking up pace with companies like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic leading the way. In a bid to ensure it doesn't miss out on the potential economic benefits of commercial spaceflights, the UK is looking to construct its first spaceport, with a shortlist of eight potential sites announced at the Farnborough Air Show.Read More
It takes a lot more money and preparation to launch a rocket than to have a plane take off. That's why DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) first initiated its Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) program. The idea is that once built, the XS-1 could take off and land like a regular aircraft, but could also deliver satellite payloads into low-Earth orbit while airborne. Today, the agency announced its plans for Phase 1 of the program, which includes awarding contracts for designs of the autonomous spaceplane.Read More
Science and space tourism shook hands this week with NASA announcing 12 technology experiments that will fly on the SpaceShipTwo spaceplane under a charter agreement with Virgin Galactic. The payload is a mixture of government, academic, and private microgravity experiments that will form the first commercial research flight for the spacecraft.Read More
Virgin Galactic and Spaceport America have signed a joint agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for access to airspace for spaceflights from New Mexico. The agreement helps to pave the way for commercial flights of Virgin's SpaceShipTwo, and is the first agreement of its type for a commercial spaceline.Read More
As the still-to-be-announced date of the first commercial flight of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo approaches, more and more of the technology involved is getting nailed down. A case in point is the company's announcement that it has decided which fuel will be used in the first passenger-carrying flights of the suborbital spacecraft. The solid fuel grains that will fuel the world's largest operational hybrid rocket will be a thermoset plastic similar to nylon.Read More
Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo (SS2) continues to inch toward a full suborbital test flight with its third supersonic test carried out Friday morning. The SS2 rocket engine fired for 20 seconds, pushing the suborbital spacecraft to an altitude of 71,000 ft (18 km) and a top speed over Mach 1.4, both of which were new records for SS2. The Reaction Control System, feather re-entry system, and a thermal protection coating were successfully tested during the flight. Read More
NBCUniversal has signed an exclusive partnership with Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic to televise the space tourism company's first commercial passenger flight next August. Aboard the VSS Enterprise, will be Sir Richard, age 63, and his children, Holly, 31, and Sam, 28. The other passengers and crew have not yet been named. Read More
It's easy to naysay ambitious plans, and they don't come more ambitious than Virgin Galactic's. But astronaut Chris Hadfield has some authority on the subject. Though his views, revealed in a Guardian interview, are nuanced, they come with this sobering assessment: "Eventually they'll crash one."Read More
Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo (SS2) broke its own speed and altitude records on Thursday as it successfully completed its second rocket-powered, supersonic flight. At 8:00 AM PDT, SS2 took off slung beneath the WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) carrier aircraft from Virgin Galactic's Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, California. According to the company, the tourism spacecraft went through its full technical mission profile in a single flight for the first time, including the deployment of its "feathering" re-entry mechanism at high altitude.

Military working dogs: service members' best friends

Military working dogs: service members' best friends
Posted 2/17/2012 Updated 2/17/2012

by 2nd Lt. Alexis McGee
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Public Affairs
2/17/2012 -
-- Most service members are familiar with the wingman and battle-buddy concepts employed by the military, but for the group of military working dog trainers here, battle buddies take on a completely different form when battle buddies are dogs.
Some of the military working dogs are born into a puppy program at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in San Antonio and are born and raised to be military working dogs.
Trainers and evaluators from JBSA-Lackland also go on buy trips all over Europe including: Amsterdam, Germany, Holland and Belgium to purchase dogs. The trainers and evaluators conduct a series of tests at the European facilities to determine if the dogs meet the minimum requirements to become military working dogs.
The dogs then attend a 2-part, 12-week program at JBSA-Lackland to learn the skills needed to be successful in both detections and patrols.
"During the detection portion, the dog trainers teach the dogs the most basic tasks they will conduct daily including: obedience, odor recognition and odor detection procedures," said Staff Sgt. Allison Price, 87th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler. "In the patrol training, they're trained in six phases. They are only taught the essentials so when they come to us, it's up to us as kennel masters and trainers to progress the dogs to higher levels."
Dogs begin with detection training and then progress to the patrol portion. Some of the dogs make it through the detection portion but don't make it through the patrol portion, while others fail the detection portion but are successfully retrained for patrols. Overall, nearly 88 percent of the dogs who enter training end up successfully completing the course.
Security forces members interested in becoming military working dog handlers are cross trained when they have achieved the rank of Airman 1st class, have two years in service and have obtained their five level within their career field.
Handlers attend a three-month training program at JBSA-Lackland to learn dog-handling procedures.
"Handlers first learn general knowledge about dogs," said Price, a native of Chelsea, Mich. "This consists of basic vet, obedience and patrol training."
The handlers switch dogs half way through the program to learn how to work with different dog behaviors. Training with different dogs helps trainers improve their skills because dog training is an ongoing practice.
"It's an everyday process," said Master at Arms 1st class Sean Stull, 87th SFS military working dog trainer from Douglasville, Ga. "You have to work them daily to get them where you want them. They're not machines."
The military working dogs' mission expands past Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and into combat zones when dogs deploy with their handlers.
"I was deployed a year and a half ago with my dog and my dog stayed in my tent with me because there were no kennels at that location," said Price. "It was like having a best friend 24/7."
Dog handlers and their canine partners provide assistance to the United States Secret Service in addition to deploying and protecting JB MDL. The secret service has its own dogs, but requests assistance from the major commands when in need of additional dogs to augment its force. The JB MDL dog handlers have been involved with numerous secret service missions to protect dignitaries throughout the country.
"One of the secret service missions I went on was to President George H.W. Bush's residence," said Tech. Sgt. Blake Hemmann 87th SFS NCO in charge of military working dogs. "We were responsible for searching anywhere the president may want to go, to ensure the area was clear for his arrival."
Military working dogs safeguard areas, patrol and detect as long as they are capable of performing their job. The dogs' ages don't correspond to how well they complete their job and dogs are not retired based solely on their age.
"I've seen dogs work for only two years, but I've also seen dogs work for up to thirteen years," said Price. "It all just depends on the dog. The dog that was thirteen years old became ill with cancer and had to be euthanized, which is unfortunate because we try to adopt the dogs out when they retire."
Dogs undergo a series of tests when they retire to gauge their temperament and determine if they are suitable for adoption. Handlers are given the first opportunity to adopt their working dog, but if the handlers don't adopt the dogs, they are offered to the public for adoption.
"When the dogs are a safety concern they can't go out to the general public," said Hemmann, native of Watervliet, Mich. "If the dogs aren't a safety concern though, it's always our goal to adopt them out once they retire."
Military working dogs serve their country and when it's time for them to retire, they get the opportunity for a new home and a career change from a working dog to a pet.
Call (800) 531-1066 if you are interested in adopting a former military working dog.
Very interesting article I hope to adopt a 4 legged veteran someday. What happens to retiring dogs that are not suitable for adoption

THIS WEEKEND: The Bruins (17-3, 7-1 MPSF) hosts USC in the final regular season game for both teams this Saturday at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center. USC is currently 18-4, and ranked No. 2 in the nation. UCLA has played USC three times this season, beating the Trojans twice, including in the MPSF game at USC. Game time is noon, three and a half hours before kickoff of the football game.
The Trojans have won their last five games, dating back to October 22 when they lost to UCLA, 11-9, in the championship game of the Northern California Tournament. Last weekend they defeated UC Santa Barbara, 9-2, to finish 6-2 in the MPSF. They are led by Tim Wollthan who has 30 goals this season. Daniel Lontay has 26 goals. Darin Smith and Bozidar Damjanovic have split time in goal.
This Saturday's game is also Senior Day. UCLA will honor its six seniors: Andy Bailey, Brian Brown, Sean Kern, Dave Parker, Blake Wellen and Adam Wright. All six players were integral parts of the 1999 team that won the NCAA Championship.
Bailey, from San Clemente, was an All-MPSF honorable mention selection in 1999. This year, he leads the team in steals with 29 and has a career high 18 goals. He also has 16 assists and seven field saves.
Brown, a 1999 Honorable Mention All-American, is second on the team in goals this year with 30. The playmaker from Santa Ana has seven assists and 12 steals this year. Last year he earned third-team All-MPSF honors and was fourth on the team with 32 points.
Kern, a 2000 Olympian and 1999 NCAA Player of the Year, is third on the team with 24 goals in only 11 games. A native of Honolulu, HI, Kern is a three time All-American and has led the team in scoring the last three years.
Parker has scored a career-high 24 goals this season and has scored goals in the last seven games. The native of Orinda has been a consistent scorer for the Bruins in his four years, racking up 76 goals in his career.
Wellen, a 1999 honorable mention All-American,is one of the nation's top defenders and leads the team in field saves for the second year. He also has 10 goals this season and is second on the team with 17 steals. Wellen is from Mill Valley.
Wright, the 2000 captain and three time All-American, leads the team in goals (36) and assists (26) this season. The Seal Beach native, has scored 131 goals in his career and has led the team in assists the last three years.
LAST WEEKEND: UCLA lost its first game since mid-September, falling to UC Irvine, 9-8 at the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center last Sunday. The game was tied at seven with seven minutes remaining, but UCI's Jeff Powers scored with 4:02 left to give UCI a 8-7 lead. He scored what proved to be the game winner with 20 seconds remaining on a four-meter penalty shot to give the Anteaters a 9-7 lead. Matt Flesher's goal with 11 seconds remaining closed the gap, but UCI held on to the ball in the final seconds for the win. Flesher and Kern scored three goals each for UCLA, and Kyle Baumgarner and Dave Parker also contributed goals. Brandon Brooks made four saves in goal.
RANKINGS: UCLA was ranked No. 1 in the November 8 US Collegiate Water Polo poll. USC was ranked second, and UC Irvine was third. California and Stanford round out the top five. Rankings are released every Wednesday, and can be found at http://www.collegiatewaterpolo.org.

New trail in Superior -- Mayhoffer to Coalton Road
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
In the last year I have discovered some of the great trails that sit south of Boulder, Dowdy Draw, Mayhoffer-Singletree Trail and High plains Greenbelt. These trails are awesome for those rides where you just want to escape and let your brain melt away, not like ones like Hall or Walker Ranch where you have to stay "on" nearly every moment. Now coming in Spring of 2011 Boulder County Openspace will be opening another trail, one that will connect Mayhoffer to Coalton Road. This means you can nearly ride from Layafette all the way to the flatirons on trails!
This new trail will open up some large beautiful loops in Boulder County's trail system. Learn more about the future Mayhoffer to Coalton Road connector

Mayhoffer to Coalton Road connector
Submitted by Dave (not verified) on
I live here in Superior and use the new trail(s) all the time. You can actually pull a fun loop on the CX rig and avoid too much asphalt which is awesome! Perfect for training. Its definitely mellow, but I dont think anyone cares about that. I noticed a ton of beginners on the trail which was really cool. Kids, parents, racer-types, and weekend warriors alike. That means my tax dollars are being utilized for thre trails I voted for... nice.
