Acoustic Specification and Design of Supreme Being Studios
Before designing the interior of its new facility, Supreme Being Studios reviews the key acoustic characteristics needed for an appropriate recording environment. Each analysis leads to a direct numerical acoustic specification. A design procedure is then illustrated which yields results conforming to these specifications. The analysis and design techniques are applicable to many new or planned recording installations.

It's a nice small gym for its price. It offered everything what I needed for my workout - cardio, strength and stretching area.
Quiet gym with excellent free weights area.
Always nice to work out here as it's so quiet. Only one bench press & squat rack though, so watch out at peak times.
Quiet gym. The new free weights room is great.
The new free weight room has great equipment and the gym is nice and quiet. Friendly staff, too.
Great free weight equipment, quiet & friendly staff.
Best leisure centre facility in East London that I have used ever! Well equipped, logically laid out and clean. The staff always go out of their way to make you welcome which seems to create a good buzz in the gym. Easy to find a training buddy here if you don't already have one.
Quiet, and they've got some great free weight equipment now.
Gets better and better! A large studio previously used for classes has been replaced with a large free weight area with squat frame and olympic weights and loads of benches that were lacking when I first joined. Overall, well equipped with cardio equipments, resistance machines and free weights.
I love this gym. This is like a fit version of Cheers.... a place where everyone knows your name! Has everything you need whether a newbie or experience athlete. Today I discovered a room with 3 spin bikes.... seems like a well kept secret because it is at the back of the floor.

^^this part folks:
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks party representation in the country's 50 state governments, Democrats now control all three bases of power — the governorship and both houses of the state legislature — in 14 states and Republicans in 23, with only 12 states sharing power. Nebraska's unicameral legislature is considered nonpartisan.
Regional power bases also are emerging, with Democrats increasingly dominating state governments in New England.
Conversely, the GOP for the first time since 1872 now will control the Arkansas House and Senate. Just 20 years ago, Republicans didn't have a majority in a single legislative house in the states of the old Confederacy; now they will control all 11.
How interesting is this? Show me a Green or Blue State where Obama won

Ontario woman dies in fall from Mexican balcony
The Canadian Press
Published Sunday, September 12, 2010 7:19PM EDT
A 19-year-old Ontario woman died on Friday after falling off a balcony at a hotel in Cancun.
Giannina Di Roberto fell from the seventh floor of the Riu Caribe hotel early Friday morning.
She was vacationing at the resort with her boyfriend, also from Canada.
Gaspar Buenfil Caballero, director of the government department that investigates homicides, said Sunday that there is an ongoing investigation into the death but the indication at this point is that it was a suicide.
"The boyfriend was detained for 48 hours but after all the investigations... we found that he wasn't responsible for any crime," Buenfil Caballero said in a phone interview from Cancun.
"It was an self-inflicted accident... For the moment, we think it's a suicide."
Buenfil Caballero said although the boyfriend is not considered a suspect, they have asked him to stay in Mexico while the investigation continues, although he said there is no legal obligation that he remain.
"We'll work on this as fast as possible with him so that he can return to his country," Buenfil Caballero said.
A person who answered the phone at a household with the victim's last name in Kitchener, Ont., asked the family's privacy be respected. A friend of Di Roberto's also pleaded for privacy.
This is not the first time a Canadian has died after falling off a hotel balcony in Mexico.
Josh Iwasiuk of Selkirk, Man. died in January 2008 after Mexican police said he fell from a balcony 10 stories high. The family however, questioned the autopsy results at the time.
In November 2007, Chris Morin, 30, of Okotoks, Alta., fell from a fourth-floor balcony in Cancun and died. Authorities said he had illicit drugs in his system but a friend suspected his death was connected to a dispute at a bar.

There's no question that the ball was moving out of here like it never has. What that is, why, I have no idea. But I know how the ball was carrying. And we had pitchers at the same time who were probably ill-suited to pitch here and be able to put the ball on the ground.
They did seem to get away from the groundball emphasis with Guthrie and Moscoso. Now Apodaca's gone (the pitching coach), he really seemed to emphasize playing up even non-sinkerball pitchers' two-seamers to get more ground balls.
They seemed to have a reasonable plan there for a while. The Blake St teams from 95-97 are the only teams to put up 3 straight winning seasons, but the best 3-season stretch in wins and winning pct. is actually 2007-2009.

what is it, since 1990, the average weight of a major league player has gone up 22 pounds.
Yeah, but it's only 5 pounds if you take out CC.

Good location can't overcome awful hotelPosted Jul 19, 2016
The one positive I can say is that this hotel is centrally located in downtown Cincinnati, a walkable city. But you have to walk to one of the other area hotels to get any kind of service. The staff is not only incompetent but completely indifferent to a guest's needs. Not only did the valet at no time offer to help us unload or load our bags, he managed to lose our car for about 20 minutes, nearly making us miss our flight. Additionally, the room wasn't cleaned at all one day, which prompted the response "uh-huh" from the front-desk staff, which was obviously overwhelmed. The door handle to the bathroom falling off in my hand barely even upset us by the time we had endured three days in an obviously aged-past-its-prime hotel. The hotel down the street was shuttered; we fully expect the same fate for the Millennium.

Millennium HotelPosted Jul 18, 2016
Waited 40 minutes to get checked in at 4 after trying at 1:30 and 2:30 to try and get in early. Woke up the next day to a freezing cold shower.

Won't be backPosted Jul 18, 2016
Room chair was filthy, shower was cold, room cramped, lousy coffee, air conditioner not consistent, easy access to downtown areas. I will stay further out and drive next time instead of paying this much for what little this hotel offered.

Nice hotel but bare basics in room.Took an hour to check in!Never had that before at any hotel.Staff was great and apoligetic about wait.Totally not their fault! Need to figure out a way to handle large check ins.

Hotel was walking distance to stadium and shopsPosted Jul 18, 2016
Pros: Staff was trying their best but the management of this hotel needs serious overhaul!!
Cons: Needs complete overhaul
Location: Good
Check in was 30-40minute wait! At 5 in afternoon room was not ready till later-- no hot water either Sat night or Sunday morning--this is unacceptable!!this hotel needs updating!!
by A verified traveler from louisville, ky
Hour long check inPosted Jul 18, 2016
Pros: Central location
Cons: Service, staffing, elevators
The hotel knew it was going to be a busy weekend so why were only half of the check in desks staffed? We waited in line for a hour to check in. Kids were crazy bored. A manager was wandering around apologizing and handing out cookies and lemonade. His time would have been better served checking people in. Other than that the hotel was average. A bit out-dated with no fridge in the room. Long waits for elevators too.

Tin Roof and Jefferson Social !Posted Jul 17, 2016
When I got to my room the door was open and the beds not changed which is disgusting.

This is at most a 2 star hotel. HORRIBLE!Posted Jul 8, 2016
Pros: NOTHING!
Cons: EVERYTHING! Mark this down to a 2 start at best...don't mislead your customers.
This was one of the worst hotels I have been to in quite some time. To give it a 3.5 star rating is extremely misleading. Charging $289 is a rip off! We arrived at hotel, and they would not valet our truck saying it was too big...OK, no big deal, just an inconvenience. I checked in and went to the bar to grab a drink before heading up to the room. The one person working the bar looked at me then turned and walked back into the kitchen never to return (I was one of 3 other people looking for service at the bar). So we just went up to the room...OMG...the overall condition of the hotel was very disappointing, it seemed dirty with a moist sticky feel in the air. The room itself was HORRIBLE, unclean, window air conditioner, blinking overhead fluorescent lights and just overall sub par of a $289, 3.5 star hotel... or even a 2 star hotel. We immediately got online and found a room available at the Westin down the street...YES, it was THAT BAD that we were willing to take a $339.58 (after tax) loss to not stay in this hotel. I am very disappointed in Expedia as I expect to get what I pay for and this was FAR from it!
by A verified traveler from Illinois
Location great. Room not so much!Posted Jul 5, 2016
Pros: The breakfast buffet was great, staff in the restaurant were great!
Cons: I feel 4p is a late check in time but if that is the time you set, have the rooms ready!
Location: Close to the baseball stadium, shopping, restaurants.
The downtown location is great... Close to stadium and shopping. The room was very disappointing. Check in time is 4p, but the room wasn't ready! Attempts to call the desk after waiting 45 minutes was to no avail, I was put on hold and no one ever picked up! On the 3rd time to the service desk I was finally given a key. The gentleman wasn't the nicest either. I realize the hotel has some age on it, but it's the Millennium! Come on, spend a little on upkeep. The bed was comfy, but the carpet was filthy, the bathroom faucets were peeling? I have respect for vintage, but just a little TLC would help.
by A verified traveler
Not 3.5Posted Jul 4, 2016
Checkin line was long. Check in process was longer - printers didn't work so I never officially signed in. Special room request was not granted. Sheets on one of two beds was stained. Room not cleaned by 4 pm the following day. This is a 2-3 star hotel at best.

Emissions testing for Hamilton County residents starts soon, and County Clerk Bill Knowles issued a fact sheeting answering questions about the new procedure.
Mr. Knowles said the testing requirement with not interfere with the ability of motorists to renew their annual licenses via mail or Internet.
Mr. Knowles said, "April 1st is right around the corner. This fact sheet may be of interest.
"The federal and state mandated emission testing project will not interrupt the two options Hamilton County motorists have of renewing a license plate either by Internet or by mail.
"I am pleased that we were successful in getting project leaders to grant usaccess to their testing database. This will enable us to electronicallyverify test compliance. We will simply match a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) once an order is received in the County Clerk's office.
"It will also be beneficial when processing mail renewal orders. The mail and Internet options normally serve about 100,000 motorists annually.
"Hamilton County is the only Tennessee county with Internet tag renewal service."
U. S. Environmental Protection AgencyVehicle Emissions Testing Requirement for Hamilton County
Q. Why is emission testing required in Hamilton County?
A. The 1990 Federal Clean Air Act required the State of Tennessee to develop more restrictive regulations to control air pollution from mobile sources in counties which were not meeting the Federal Standards for air quality. Hamilton County's air quality was tested in 2004 and did not meet the Federal standard.
Q. When does the testing start?
A. April 1, 2005.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. $10 (cash only—no bills larger than $20). No charge when a vehicle fails first test and a second is administered within 90 days.
Q. Will I still be able to renew by internet and by mail?
A. Yes. These services remain intact.
Q. Do all vehicles have to be tested?
A. At the time of titling a used car or renewing your annual vehicle registration, vehicle models 1975 and newer with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,500 pounds or less must be tested. If you buy a used vehicle and transfer your existing tag to that vehicle, testing is not required until the renewal date of the transferred tag.
Q. Are there any exceptions?
A. Yes. Motorcycles, 100% electric powered vehicles, new vehicles supported by an M.S.O. being registered for the first time, antiques (25 years or older and registered as antique), tactical military vehicles, vehicles out of the testing area (i.e. college students, military, retirees must apply for an exemption from the state)

Q. What will be tested?
1) Gas vehicles between 1975 and 1995Tailpipe emissions test, a gas cap check and a tampering check. The tampering check is a visual test to make sure catalytic converters have not been altered. This applies only to vehicles that were manufactured with a converter.
2) Gas vehicles 1996 and newerThese vehicles are equipped with OnBoard Diagnostic (OBD) equipment. The process will verify that the OBD functions correctly and will gather emissions data stored in the vehicle's computer. A pressurized gas cap leak check will also be conducted.
3) Diesel vehiclesBetween 1975 and 2001 must pass an idle test of 10% opacity for at least 10 consecutive seconds and a gas cap check. 2002 models or newer must pass OBD test and gas cap check. (If the vehicle is not equipped with OBD, test will default to an idle test.)

Hamilton County and the City of Chattanooga have taken a major step toward improving air quality and public health, and reaching attainment of the new, stricter federal ozone standard by implement vehicle emissions testing in the County. The APCB (Air Pollution Control Board) has approved vehicle testing beginning April 1, 2005, gasoline and diesel powered passenger vehicles must pass an emissions test before they can be registered in Hamilton County.
Light duty motor vehicles are a major source of air pollution that leads to ozone, or smog. Ozone is a significant public health threat. The air in Hamilton County does not meet the new, 8-hour federal ozone standard. The 8-hour rule better-protects public health by tightening air quality standards. Vehicle inspection programs safeguard public health and will bring the County closer to attaining the new federal standards by reducing motor vehicle pollution.
"Our goal is to improve air quality in Hamilton County by identifying vehicles that are polluting the air. When these vehicles are fixed their harmful emissions drop significantly, and we take a major step toward cleaning our air," said Vicki Lowe Environmental Program Manager Tennessee Division of Air Pollution Control.
Gasoline and diesel powered passenger vehicles 1975 and newer, with a gross vehicle weight 10,500 pounds or less, are subject to emissions testing. While the majority of vehicles will be subject to testing, electric cars, motorcycles and antiques are among a limited group of exempt vehicles. For more information, please call 1-877-477-0800, 866-329-9632, and 615-399-8995 or visit the web-site: www.state.tn.us/environmental/apc/emissions.php
Officials with Envirotest, which will be doing the testing, released this statement:
Chattanooga and Hamilton County will begin the vehicle inspection and maintenance program to achieve cleaner air sooner. "We'll have the program up and running on April 1, just in time for ozone season. That means the people of Hamilton County will see an immediate benefit from emissions testing," said Lowe.
State officials in Tennessee have expanded Envirotest's role in Tennessee to operate the Hamilton County Program. The company is the world's leading vehicle emissions testing firm and currently operates the five-county Middle Tennessee vehicle inspection program. Envirotest is constructing four specially designed, high volume inspection stations in the Chattanooga metro area. The vast majority of motorists in the program area will have easy access to a nearby station – within five miles of their home, or along their normal daily commute. The company is developing efficiencies that will make emissions testing quick, effective and convenient.
"Envirotest has been an effective and reliable partner in helping us achieve our clean air objectives," said Lowe. "This partnership has worked in Middle Tennessee, and will work to help the people of Hamilton County/Chattanooga reduce harmful vehicle exhaust," she continued.
About the Benefits of Emissions Testing
The Middle Tennessee Vehicle Inspection Program in Nashville and the four surrounding counties eliminated 26,000 tons of smog-forming pollution from 1996-2002, an average of 3,700 tons each year. Emissions testing also benefits local public health and the environment by removing 40,000 tons of toxic carbon monoxide from the air each year. The program performed more than 911,000 inspections in 2003 – and over 8 million since the program began in 1985. The program identified 85,385 polluting vehicles in 2003 which contribute significantly to air pollution.
About Ozone
Pollutants in vehicle exhaust combine with heat and sun to form ozone, the prime ingredient in smog. Ozone and other pollutants including fine particles can permanently damage the respiratory and coronary systems, and harm the body's defenses against infection and disease. Air pollution sends people to hospital emergency rooms and causes premature deaths. It aggravates and can even cause asthma in children. Motor vehicles are also the leading source of airborne carbon monoxide – a poisonous gas.
Envirotest to hire approximately 40 people
Envirotest expects to test some 300,000 vehicles each year. From lane inspectors and station managers to clerical staff, the company is hiring 40 people from Chattanooga and the surrounding area. The Chattanooga operation will be modeled after the existing program in Middle Tennessee, with the same test requirements, methods and fee.

Carlos Ghosn on His Double Duty
The auto exec discusses how he'll help Nissan hang on to its industry-best profit margins while taking over as CEO of Renault
Carlos Ghosn is about to become one of the world's busiest auto execs. The 51-year-old Brazil native, CEO of Japan's Nissan Motor (NSANY ), will add CEO of Renault (which owns 44% of Nissan) to his résumé. The first job would be enough for most execs -- Ghosn is revered in Japan for his role in rescuing Nissan from oblivion -- and assuming the second one is a huge task by anyone's standards. Ghosn himself admits he'll be taking on these extra responsibilities at a time when business risks are especially great.
Ghosn's last act before assuming double duty was the Apr. 25 unveiling of a new strategic plan at Nissan, called Nissan Value-Up. He's confident the strategy will help Nissan remain the auto industry's most profitable company and allow it to post annual returns on investment of 20% through fiscal 2007. Nissan is also targeting a 24% increase in production, to 4.2 million vehicles a year, by fiscal 2008. Also on Apr. 25, Nissan announced record operating profits of $8 billion -- up 4.4% from a year earlier -- on sales of $79.7 billion.
The next day, in a one-to-one interview with BusinessWeek Tokyo Correspondent Ian Rowley, Ghosn spoke about his plans for Nissan and how he will square them with his new role at Renault -- where he was formerly chief operating officer (see BW, 4/25/05/, "What Ghosn Will Do With Renault"). Edited excerpts of their conversation follow:
Q: What can people expect from Nissan's new "Value Up" strategy?
A:It's not a revolutionary plan. It's evolutionary because you see the same ingredients that were in our previous three-year plan. You see growth -- we'll [produce] 4.2 million cars a year by fiscal 2008 -- and you see top-level performance in operating margins.
Q: How do you respond to those analysts who have criticized Nissan for being too conservative in its forecasts?
A:We've [had] record profits even in these uncertain times. We manage to be very transparent because it's the only way to be consistent. Sometimes the market will be favorable, sometimes it won't. But one thing I'm sure about is that it will always reward long-term performance.
Q: But you accept you've been cautious?
A:I'm not usually cautious. When we announced [our last two] plans, no one could say we were cautious, but at the same time, we're pragmatic. I didn't say I was cautious without giving reasons. I gave five reasons [from exchange-rate volatility to higher interest rates] which no one can contest. From an economic point of view, nobody can predict today how 2005 is going to be.
Q: Last time Nissan launched a new business plan, you promised operating margins of 8%, but this time you're not specifying a numerical target. Why is that?
A:When we announced Nissan 180 [Nissan's previous three-year plan], I knew the company was capable of much more than the 8%. We've since delivered more than 10%, which meant my intuition was justified. Today, I could give you an operating margin forecast of 10%, but that would be ridiculous if the yen-dollar exchange rate went to 130 -- we would be way above.
On the contrary, if the yen-dollar rate were to go to 90 and the steel price rose, 10% would be an extremely difficult target.
Q: So are you saying that Nissan's operating margin could fall below 10%?
A:Yes, it may. But it may go up if the environment is better. What I'm saying is that we're committed to being at the top level among global auto makers independent of the environment.
Q: What's the thinking behind your plan to provide 20% returns on investment capital for the next three years?
A:We want our shareholders and partners to know that we're using the company's assets in the best way possible. We're committed to returns of 20% [on invested capital] -- also the highest in the industry -- for the next three years. This gives us justification to grow the company.
Q: Is there still room for more cost-cutting at Nissan?
A:I think 4% cost savings a year for the next three years is a reasonable number.
Q: Can you give an example where you'll make savings?
A:We're going to be really using the potential offered by markets like China, Thailand, India, Egypt, and Brazil. One example is our Huadu Plant in Guangzhou, China, where we're establishing production capacity of 270,000 cars. The cost of investment at this plant is half the cost in the U.S. This isn't because it's less automated or the quality is low. The quality is equivalent to the top level within Nissan.
Q: Does that mean you'll be moving production toward lower-cost countries?
A:There's huge opportunity for car manufacturers to use the potential of [those] countries. But it's to complement -- not to substitute -- production. I don't want this to be seen as a threat, it's more an opportunity. As we grow, we'll use more of these resources to add to our existing resources.
Q: Can you use Nissan's relationship with Renault to save costs?
A:Sure. In purchasing we already work together. For instance, when we select suppliers for China, we're doing it for the alliance. When we work together, we can select the best, and it works very well.
Q: Will there be more opportunities once you're running both companies?
A:Yes, but if you do something [where] one company is frustrated or not convinced, you may have a quick win, but it's going to be a long-term loss.
I'm not interested in maximizing today's performance to the detriment or three or five years down the road. I'm interested in having a good balance between the short term and long term. That's why I want the spirit of the alliance to be kept alive and strengthened.
Q: How can you manage two big companies like Renault and Nissan simultaneously?
A:It's actually relatively simple. The most important [thing] is to make sure the strategy and the priority in each company is clear. That way, people can make decisions on their own without having to [confer with] anybody else. I'm not going to micromanage.
You also have to have a good management team -- people who are performers, not whiners. I'm blessed that on both sides we have performers and not whiners at the top level.
Q: What about yourself?
A:Until December, 2005, I'll spend two-thirds of my time with Renault and one-third with Nissan. That's logical. I know Nissan by heart. I need to reconnect with Renault. It has changed a lot over the last six years. I need to recontact the people and start making my own diagnosis of the company. After 2006, 50% of my time will be with Nissan and 50% with Renault.
Physically, it will be 40% of the time in Japan, 40% in Paris, and 20% in other markets, particularly the U.S., which continues to be the most crucial market for Nissan and consequently the most crucial market for the alliance.
Q: At Renault, will you still be able to take a hands-on role -- regularly visiting factory floors and overseas plants -- as you have at Nissan?
A:I don't see myself as someone sitting in a luxurious office in Paris or in Tokyo and asking for reports. To get a sense of a company you have to see the leaders, the plants, and the technical centers, and understand what people feel about the company.
Q: Can you deliver similar levels of profitability at Renault as you have at Nissan?
A:There's a potential for Renault to grow and for Renault to be more profitable. If I didn't believe that I wouldn't take the job. I would've have stayed in Japan and enjoyed the ride with Nissan.
Regarding the details, you're going to have to be a little bit patient until I make my own diagnosis of the situation. After three or four months of listening, I'll have a pretty good picture of what's going on. But at the moment, I have one tool -- two ears, and that's it.

It might not be his biggest fight, but I think it will be the worst loss of his career.
1. Because look where he's gotten so far, a loss here will push him back.
2. It's going to be his worst loss physically too. Like I think Broner is going to hurt him and knock him out worst than Valero. Only that since Broner actually has better defense than Valero had, it's going to be worst getting beat up by someone you can't even touch.

He already fought Valero. He didn't come out for the 10th round I believe it was. Broner sure isn't Valero. He also beat Linares in the same breath Max Kellerman was comparing him to sugar ray Robinson. Demarco is going to beat Broner. Either by late stoppage or - tight UD.

Don Peebles Net Worth: Don Peebles is an American real estate entrepreneur, political activist, and author who has a net worth of $350 million dollars. Born Roy Donahue Peebles in Washington, D.C., in 1960, Don Peebles worked as a Congressional Page in high school and enrolled in Rutgers University with plans to go to medical school. Peebles left the New Jersey university after one year and instead became a real estate agent in his hometown. When he was 23 years old, he founded his own real estate appraisal firm, RDP Corporation, and soon landed a spot on Washington's Board of Equalization and Review. Soon after, D.C.'s Mayor appointed him chairperson of the board. Through the late '80s and early '90s, Peebles scooped up real estate holdings, mainly development sites and commercial buildings, and developed a reputation as one of the best fundraisers for politicians and their campaigns. He eventually moved to Miami and relocated his business to the Florida hotbed, building The Residences at The Bath Club and the Royal Palm Hotel. He is the majority owner of Las Vegas' Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino and an outspoken supporter of Democratic candidates, including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Peebles is the author of two novels, "The Peebles Principles: Tales and Tactics from an Entrepreneur's Life of Winning Deals, Succeeding in Business, and Creating a Fortune from Scratch", and "The Peebles Path to Real Estate Wealth: How to Make Money in Any Market". He married his wife, Katrina, in 1994, and they have two children together. The Peebles family owns homes in New York City, Washington, D.C., Bridgehampton, and Coral Gables.

Man U Fans Hate Houston (Or Maybe Just Us)
Take you stupidly shaped football and go home, Americans!
The MLS All-Star Game is only a day away, where the league's best will take on Manchester United, who are the New York Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys, the Notre Dame of soccer: You either love them or hate them.
We decided to hate them, just because they get enough love elsewhere.
The post wasn't up long this morning before the comments started coming in:
What an unbelievable scumbag you are. How much revenue is the sh*t stain city of Houston going to make off of this? And this is what you put in your papers? Go get fatter and more polluted... seems to be the only thing Houston is good for.
Classy from our hosts. Just hand over your cash and f*ck off back to MLS mediocrity when we've gone.
How about you go back to reporting on something you know more about, such as baseball or Big Macs.
A new term for the language we speak here:
it must be your right-wing American nature that makes you oppose a club having an older, but still very impressive, stadium that isn't named after some cheap, shit brand. The fact that the website is in several languages is like other big football clubs and unlike American 'franchises' who only put it in American (moronic English). Lastly, don't compare a world force like United to American franchises who play sports that no one else cares about and it's Manchester United (or United), not Man U
Overall, we prefer this guy's take:
I guess you limeys are not aware of the term tongue-in-cheek? Butch up lads...
And welcome to Houston!!!

Cut the wings into two pieces and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix the lemon zest, juice, juice, ginger, garlic and red pepper if using. Add the half-teaspoon of salt and then add the wings, stirring to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for two hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with an oiled metal rack. Pour the cola into the bowl with the wings and stir to coat. Remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the rack, bumpy skin side up. Make sure the wings don't touch each other.
Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a hard boil for 15 min. Brush the marinade on the wings. (It will be quite thin).
Bake the wings for 10 min. Brush again with marinade and then cook for another ten min. Brush the wings and increase the temperature to 450 F. Brush the wings one final time and bake for 5 more min.

Look at how flexible I am! Miranda Kerr gamely practices yoga in front of crowd as she continues to display wholesome side after nude shoot
She strips down to nothing in the latest issue of GQ UK magazine.
But Miranda Kerr clearly wants the world to know she hasn't abandoned the wholesome image that made her famous.
The 30-year-old showed off her impressive flexibilty as she contorted her body into a variety of poses at a Reebok Skyscape yoga workshop in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday.

Look at me! Miranda Kerr displayed her impressive flexibility during a yoga workshop in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday
The former Victoria's Secret model has credited her incredible figure to regular yoga sessions, and she appeared more than happy to showcase her impressive flexibility.
Miranda - who is currently promoting her new Reebok Skyscape trainers - looked slender in black knee-length leggings paired with a white tank top and the hot pink sneakers.
She pulled her highlighted brown hair into a ponytail and added a pop of colour with pink lipstick.
Good sport: The 30-year-old looked slender in black knee-length leggings paired with a white tank top and the hot pink sneakers
And check this out! Miranda gave a big smile for the camera as she stretched her arms out to the side
In the zone: Miranda then moved into Warrior 1 alongside another woman
The mother-of-one made her way through a series of poses in front of the cameras, from Warrior 1 to Triangle.
She experienced a bit of a shaky moment as she stood on one leg in Tree pose, but lost her balance and grabbed onto her friend alongside her to steady herself.
Ever the good sport, Miranda just giggled before standing back up and placing her hands in prayer position.
I can do ballet too! Miranda stood on her toes then lifted her leg behind her as she posed for the cameras
Natural beauty: She pulled her highlighted brown hair into a ponytail and added a pop of colour with pink lipstick
Despite ending several lucrative contracts with the likes of Australian department store David Jones and US lingerie giant Victoria's Secret last year, Miranda has been busier than ever this year.
As well as fronting the latest H&M campaign, she's also just been announced as the new face - and cleavage - of Victoria's Secret rival Wonderbra.
Miranda has created her own skin care line, Kora Organics, which is going from strength to strength, while she has also starred in numerous campaigns for brands like Mango and Swarovski.
Art of concentration: Miranda stared straight ahead to keep her balance in tree pose
Did I remember to turn the stove off? Miranda looked a bit distracted at one point, as if her mind were a million miles away
uh oh: She experienced a bit of a shaky moment as she stood on one leg in Tree pose, but lost her balance and grabbed onto her friend alongside her to steady herself
And she's back! Miranda managed to regain her composure and stand perfectly erect
Meanwhile, Miranda revealed she's a member of the mile high club in the interview accompanying her nude photoshoot for GQ's UK May issue.
And the Qantas ambassador certainly looked full of smiles as she landed in Tokyo later on Tuesday.
In a departure from her recent gigs, Miranda was fully clothed, looking sleek and chic dressed in a pair of skinny leather trousers, a dark wash denim shirt, and her pink trainers.
And more: Miranda posted this picture of her in Warrior 2 pose to her Instagram page
The sexy stunner and mother-of-one has talked openly about her sex life in a no-holds-barred interview for GQ's UK May issue, whilst stripped bare for a shoot directed by photographer-to-the-stars Mario Testino.
A frequent flyer the former Victoria's Secret model shared her tips for long distance travel: 'Let's put it this way, I've had an orgasm in the air before.
'Alone. And together.'
Racy: Earlier in the day, Miranda donned leather trousers, a black blazer and Reebok trainers
Flawless: The model wore her highlighted hair in soft waves and wore a glossy pink lipstick
Miranda, who split from her husband of three years Orlando Bloom in October, also spoke about enjoying her newly single status and how she's exploring her sexual side.
Touching on her ambiguous sexuality, she said: 'I appreciate both men and women.
'I love the female body and truly appreciate the female form. I really enjoy sketching women, especially their backs. I definitely need a man in the bedroom, however — a nice strong chest to lie on. Still, I want to explore. Never say never.'
A highly successful businesswoman, she revealed she's a perfectionist under the sheets: 'I always ask for a critique on my performance.'
That's a bit odd: Miranda stood next to a woman who was wearing mask over her mouth
In the interview, Miranda, who has been linked romantically to James Packer, talked about her great chemistry with her Lords Of The Rings ex, making him wait for six months before she even kissed him.
While she's not ready to fall in love again, she is single and certainly ready to mingle - admitting she's been on lots of 'adventurous' dates.
Meanwhile, Orlando has also recently opened up, talking about his 'deep love' for the gorgeous brunette.
He told The Times magazine that he's ready to move forward too: 'After a period of feeling a little rudderless, I feel like I've set a course again. I feel like I'm very much at the beginning of something.'
The pair have managed to remain amicable for the sake of their three-year-old son Flynn.

Congress-TRS war of words escalates
Hyderabad: After falling out on joining forces for the elections, Congress and TRS are now engaged in a war of words in the run-up to the polls.
Claiming that it was Congress president Sonia Gandhi who made the dream of separate Telangana become a reality, former deputy chief minister C Damodar Rajanarasimha on Sunday alleged that TRS went back on its promise of merging with Congress.
Recalling that TRS had also promised to make a Dalit leader the Chief Minister of Telangana, he charged that the sub-regional party`s leadership is synonymous with "betrayal".
Meanwhile, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has been saying that "reconstruction" of Telangana can be ensured by TRS alone, alleged that it was Congress and TDP which were responsible for several development problems in the region.
Dashing the last hopes of the Congress, the TRS president had yesterday categorically ruled out even an electoral alliance with the party for the forthcoming polls to Lok Sabha and state Assembly.
"They say KCR betrayed them but what was the betrayal," he questioned, referring to remarks made by AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh on TRS` refusal to merge with the Congress after the creation of Telangana.
Addressing his party workers at TRS office here yesterday, he had pointed out that they had proposed merger of TRS with Congress to secure statehood for the region and prevent suicides by hundreds of youth.
"But now, people are against our merger and hence we are going by their wish," he said.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/06/14 -- Clustrix, provider of the leading scale-out SQL database engineered for the cloud, today announced that Taggle Systems, the Australian provider of low-cost, long-range and low-power location and telemetry services, chose ClustrixDB to solve its scale and real-time analytics problems. Using ClustrixDB to record and analyze data for livestock, utility meters, and irrigation across large-scale installations in Australia, Taggle provides up to the minute information to its users.
Taggle's custom tags allow its users to periodically monitor and transmit data into a network of extremely sensitive custom receivers. Once collected, the data is analyzed internally before a final transmission is sent to the end user via the Internet or mobile phone. Ranchers use this data to identify patterns or anomalies among their livestock.
Built for large-scale and fast-growing applications, ClustrixDB allows Taggle to run massive transaction volume and fast real-time analytics, both at the same time. The company runs ClustrixDB software in the Rackspace cloud, simply adding servers to grow the database with no manual work and taking the pain out of scaling by automating most of the operations.
"The ClustrixDB solution, combined with cloud servers, allows me to stop worrying about scaling and redundancy, said Ivan Di Giusto, IT architect at Taggle Systems. "Our database administers' workload has dropped 75 percent, freeing up resources to focus on delivering value to our customers."
Internet of Things applications, like the Taggle tags, serve millions of users, with a high volume of customer information and metadata stored within a company's primary database. As a result, businesses often experience downtime and poor performance. ClustrixDB provides transactional guarantees, high data read and write throughput, and analytics and reports, ensuring companies like Taggle can grow with their data sets and increasing loads.
"From continuous tracking to sending thousands of transmissions per day, Taggle realized the value of using multiple cores on a single node and multiple nodes in parallel to make their analytic queries and reports faster," said Robin Purohit, CEO of Clustrix. "Companies looking to scale their operations and analyze and act on this dynamic data in real-time, should turn to distributed databases such as ClustrixDB to run increasingly complex queries directly on live operational data."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.
