Indoor park gives Vista kids a place to skate
6 The Aura indoor skate park buzzed Friday night with the sounds of wheels speeding up and down ramps, skateboards slamming into rails and the occasional knee or elbow hitting the surface.
Built inside a warehouse by the Aura Skateboarding Company, the facility in Vista has become a popular gathering spot where kids new to skating can learn the basics and more advanced skaters can perform gravity-defying tricks on more than a dozen wooden ramps, rails and bumps.
"It's a good place to skate when it's dark outside, and everyone here is super nice," said Jay Malenfant, 20, of Carlsbad.
Malefant was one of dozens of skaters and spectators who attended a skateboarding competition there Friday night. The event also served as a benefit for a nonprofit organization called Bridge to Skate, which donates skating equipment to underprivileged kids.
The park celebrated its one-year anniversary March 29. Since it opened, more than 3,000 skaters have used the facility, said Doug Works, Aura's general manager.
Skaters pay $10 to use the park per day. It also has various membership levels that reduce or eliminate the daily fee.
Jim Bell, president of Aura, is in the business of building skate ramps for private residences. The work was suffering during the recession when he was approached several years ago with the idea of creating an indoor park. He saw the opportunity in Vista because the city had closed its public outdoor skate park. He scraped the money together with the help of friends and leased the warehouse in the Sycamore Vista business park on La Mirada Drive.
The park has a "bowl," which looks like an empty backyard pool about 9 feet deep, and about a dozen ramps of various shapes and sizes. There's also a lounge area with leather couches and a TV, where parents can rest while their kids skate.
The facility has other amenities, such as Wi-Fi, a pro shop and a concession stand. The park also serves as a showroom for the private ramps Bell builds.
He opened the park in Vista in part because the city did not have a public skate area, Bell said. But he also supports Vista's plans to build its public skate park.
"We don't want to be the end all," Bell said.
In November, the park held a benefit barbecue and donated the proceeds to the Vista Skatepark Coalition, a nonprofit promoting the plans for a public skate park.
Vista's last public skate park was built in 1999, between the library and City Hall. But the park became a magnet for fights and crime. The park was demolished in 2008, when Vista built the new Civic Center and parking lot.
Lyssa Flaherty, secretary of the Vista Skatepark Coalition, said there is room for both public and private skate parks in Vista. She said some kids simply can't afford to pay for the use of a private facility.
"We support Aura opening their showroom to skaters; however, the facility does not replace the need for a public skate park," she said.
Flaherty said the coalition will continue to advocate for a free, public skate park. The coalition is also proposing to build smaller skating areas, called skate pods, designed by artists at new and existing public parks.
Friday's skate competition at Aura generated about 20 skateboards and other equipment for Bridge to Skate that will be donated to low-income children. Contestants who donated skating equipment received a discounted entry fee.
"Skateboarding allows kids to experience something positive and helps keep them away from drugs and gangs," Bell said.
Zeb Ryan of Carlsbad said he brings his 9-year-old son, Toby, to the park most weekends.
"It's like a little community," Ryan said. "A lot of people are coming from all over to skate. It's getting to be very well known."
Bell said his park will also host the second annual Shane Hidalgo Memorial Skate Contest on June 2. Hidalgo was a professional skateboarder from Oceanside, He died last year at age 24 in a crash while driving to a charity event near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
"(Shane) was a great friend and an amazing human being," Bell said. "This contest keeps the memory of Shane alive and brings his extended family and friends together for a day of positivity, reflection and amazing skateboarding."

Just when everyone thought that winter was over and it was time to pull out mountain bikes, hiking shoes and kayaks, the snowstorms that had failed to show up earlier in the season made their appearance. Feet of snow fell at Copper Mountain, Vail Mountain and Breckenridge Ski Resort during closing weekend, prompting announcements several days later that the resorts were extending the season for an extra weekend to allow skiers and riders a chance to enjoy the fresh powder.As snow enthusiasts geared up to take their last turns down the slopes, local businesses prepared to meet the last-minute crowds and gather in another round of profits before the mud-season lull. The announcement came too late for some, particularly those that rely mostly on seasonal workers, many of which had already left the county or made plans to leave before the news came through the grapevine. Others - those with core year-round staff and that generally don't close at the end of the season - kept their doors open and waited for the weekenders to come through.And come they did. Traffic numbers from the Colorado Department of Transportation show 18,282 vehicles passing westbound through the Twin Tunnels on Friday and 13,629 Saturday. The same weekend last year recorded only 14,019 on Friday and 11,977 for Saturday. Sunday's eastbound traffic totaled 16,925 this year compared with only 14,105 in 2012.While only a few days' notice for extra skiing would not be enough for far away or destination visitors, those living along the Front Range had ample opportunity to plan a weekend in the mountains.Restaurants seemed to do the strongest business over the weekend, catering to the needs of hungry skiers and riders, both local and visiting."It definitely helped us," said Julie Ludwig, front of the house manager for Mi Casa in Breckenridge. Ludwig reported that the restaurant's numbers were up on Friday from last year and "way up" for Saturday and Sunday. Ludwig said that the increase was most likely due to a combination of the resorts reopening and the good snow. "If it had been like (it was in) December, it would've been different."Todd Nelson, corporate chef at Breckenridge restaurants Empire Burger, Park & Main, Briar Rose Chophouse & Saloon and Giampietro Pasta & Pizzeria, agreed that the snow played a large part in bringing in the crowds."I think it was more driven by the snow," he said. "If we look back at last year, ... the ski area was open last year, but it was also a very dry end of season."Nelson reported that sales for Giampietro's, Briar Rose and Empire Burger were up at least 20 percent from last year. "We were hoping for that," he said, "and we were hoping with the quality and amount of snow we got with the resort being open that we'd see that kind of uptick. We were ready for that."The Mug Shot Caf, conveniently located within the Alpine Sports ski rental shop, had the benefit of the skiers coming directly to it."We did have an increase, definitely, in customers last weekend compared to the week days," said manager Ellie Hartman. "It wasn't a huge difference but since we're connected to the Alpine Sports rental shop, it did make a difference when people were renting. That definitely made a good impact on us for the beginning of the mud season."When it comes to the snowfall in April, the numbers tell it all. According to data from the National Weather Service, the month of April has seen 31.2 inches so far this year, compared to only 16.2 inches last year. On average, from 1981 to 2011, April usually only gets about 27.7 inches. Other businesses noticed the increase in traffic down Main Street as well, though that didn't necessarily translate to sales. "There's definitely an increase of traffic, but I didn't see any increase in business," said Sheri Shelton, owner of Hand and Glove. "There were people walking around. I think it's hard for people to make a decision to buy something when it's snowing and they know in their head that it's coming into summer and they don't realize that our shops have a variety of things, so they don't think about buying anything."However, Shelton said she did feel that having more visitors around was a positive thing overall.Hub, another Breckenridge business, said that the increased number of people on the street was notable, with the weekend much busier compared to the rest of the week. While the extra snowfall and extra customer traffic have been great, some people and businesses are ready to move their sights on to summer. "Our sales were up this weekend over the weekend before. We definitely were busy," said Kelsey Lyons, owner of Which Wich? sandwich shop in Silverthorne, right off of Interstate 70. She is hoping that sunnier weather will come soon. "Now that the resorts are closed, we need it to be warmer, because that's what brings in the next round of people."

They were hunting all right, but not the typical deer, elk or other fur-covered animal. When painter Pat Matthews and a few other artists hired a hunting guide and set up camp, they weren't scanning the horizon for antlers."(Colorado Fish & Game) said we were the first ones they knew of to get a permit for an elk camp and use it only to paint," said Matthews who lives in Little Rock, Arkansas but owns property in Pagosa Springs as well. They even hired a camp chef to prepare five-course dinners and a hot breakfast prepared in a Dutch oven each morning."When on these trips, I am hunting," Matthews said. "I use my four wheeler with a large painting box on the back to hunt. I'm just hunting for beauty to paint."You can see what he found at Paderewski Fine Art Gallery in Beaver Creek, where 25 of Matthews paintings are on display. The show is a celebration of the gallery's 10 year anniversary, and Vail's 50th anniversary."It took me several months to complete the works," Matthews said. "The paintings are a combination of the landscapes in the Vail area and surrounding mountains, and architectural portraits of some of Vail's iconic structures, like the Covered Bridge, the Clock tower and the Vail Chapel, to name a few."His favorite painting is one that captures a snowy Vail day, with the Covered Bridge and the Clock Tower of Vail in the distance. "I think it sold yesterday," he said.
Matthews used a pallete knife, large brush strokes of thick paint and lots of vibrant colors to paint most of the pieces on display. He also paints with both hands, in order to "achieve random patterns of texture." It's a relatively new technique of his. By using a combination of perspective and light, Matthews pieces have a depth that makes the viewer feel as if they could step into the scene. A reception will take place today from 2 to 5 p.m. Matthews will paint during the reception, using his special technique. He plans to limit his color pallete to mostly black, white and shades of gray, "with only a pinch of color as an accent.""It's like ringing a bell in a church," he said. "When you paint neutral works, the color can be very delicate and still stand out."Matthews is perhaps best known for his flag paintings, the first of which he did of the American flag on the evening of Sept. 11, 2001. "I flew to New York a few months later and donated the money from print sales, the original painting and 343 signed prints to ladder company 54 in NYC," Matthews said. "They lost 15 men."He painted two Colorado flags for this show. "One of the best things about my job as an artist is capturing God's beauty and making a living doing it," Matthews said. "I have to say that after painting in several countries and all over the USA, the most beautiful state I have experienced is Colorado. I feel very lucky to do what I do and my family and I are blessed to be able to experience all Colorado has to offer, especially in the Vail Valley."High Life Editor Caramie Schnell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 970-748-2984.

Manufacturing is an important part of the local economy.
That was the message shared with local business leaders Tuesday morning at the Redwood Area Hospital when the annual Redwood County breakfast was held as part of Minnesota Manufacturer's Week.
"Thank you for all you do," said Julie Rath of the Redwood Area Development Corporation (RADC). "You are making a positive impact in our county and in the entire region."
While the message of appreciation was emphasized during the recognition event, a bigger issue continued to rise to the top. For manufacturing to continue to be a success in the region it needs more people to fill its jobs.
Finding employees is a constant struggle, especially as rural areas see population declines when young graduates see the bright lights of the big city and leave the area.
A recent welding class offered locally is one effort being made to try and help meet the needs of local employers.
Chett Bisel of Redwood Metal Works said his company is seeing tremendous growth, and they have already hired one of the welders from that class and are looking to hire another.
Denis Myhrberg of the Workforce Council said she is working with Rath on an idea that would bring employers together on a regular basis to talk about issues, such as employment recruitment, so they can address them as a whole and can network with each other.
Myhrberg said if companies can get together the group can have better luck offering common trainings for employees to help address their needs.
Other manufacturing companies in Redwood County are considering expansion, but they are pensive about that expansion if they do not have a work force back to draw from as they expand their businesses.
The good news is manufacturing demand is growing in the area, as representatives from Daktronics, Heartland Wood Products, RVI, Inc. and Ritalka and Country Enterprises and CE Signs & Designs talked about how things are going.
The RADC is actively seeking added manufacturing industries that would move into the Redwood area.
According to Rath, there are available spaces to rent and purchase in the area, and she is talking with prospective businesses on a regular basis.
Millions of dollars in revenue are being made in the Redwood area through manufacturing, and it appears that growth is going to continue.
The challenge is getting the help that is necessary to encourage that growth.

So what would you do?
If a non-tech-savvy friend/relative wants to buy a new machine, what will you do? Do you think this Dell/Ubuntu option is the best way to go or should they go with a Mac or a Windows box. Let us know how you feel by voting and commenting.
Whatever you recommend you
Whatever you recommend you will be wrong at some point in the future. Dell is mediocre hardware, high price, non existent support and just plain trouble for us tech savvy sorts who end up doing all the customer support when our friends have problems. Apart from that I would never recommend any *buntu distro, just a personal choice but I find buntu weird to use. But by alls means let people know of the option.
Recommend they investigate
Recommend they investigate it. And with this recommendation I'll tell the following story. I started using computers when Macintosh bought out their first Apple Mac, which is probably older than most of your readers. I have gone through more computers, systems and programs than I care to count. Three crashes later, (the latest happening last week despite all the anti-virus programs, updates, sweeps, anti-spyware, defenders and malicious software removal tools etc. that I make use of), I am finally determined to stop this ridiculous buying into the Bill Gates world of subterfuge and self- regenerating profits. Hopefully my cautionary tale will encourage others to take a second look at what they are letting themselves in for if they stick with the omnipotent Gates.
definately get the mac
anyone who asks me this question will call me every ten minutes asking me dumb windows questions that I don't have a clue or desire to answer. any of my friends that know what ubuntu is wouldn't even bother asking (or buy a dell for that matter). Thus leaves me only one possible response. The mac response
ohh and a trip to their home to program the mac toll free tech support number on their speed dial :)
I'd never actually push it, but I'd recommend the Ubuntu machine. After all, it IS much easier to use than Windows for a non demanding person.
let them choose
For me it's always about choice. I would let them know the option exists and let them decide.
That said I have had too many late night call-outs to friends who have purchased Dell PCs and it's not working. Dell support is appalling IMHO and it is for this reason that I would not actually recommend buying Dell at all - let alone a GNU/Linux option.
Recommend it
I'd definitely recommend it to them because it respects their freedom much more than Windows (even though it still contains a small amount of proprietary software). But I wouldn't push it that much, and if they listened to an explanation of GNU/Linux and software freedom (and maybe tried out gNewSense on my computer) but still wanted to buy a Windows computer, that's fair enough.
GNU - free as in freedom
Missing option
Another option is: Go get a bklank machine from a small retailer without any OS on it and I install Foesight in it for him. Anyway the real important thing is the option not to have to pay for an OS. Its ok if people pay for a supported Ubuntu and if Ubuntu also gets some money out of it, but I would not recommend that to a friend

Gnu/Linux, Say WHAT?
If an O.S.U (ordinary simple user) asked me personally I would not recommend Gnu/linux.I would let them know that the option exists and try to explain what it is what you can do with it and what it's difficulties are.I'd recommend them to buy an Intel Mac.A person wanting to buy a computer that knows next to nothing about computers and operating systems in general wants to go with the flow - the flow still moves with windows (much to my own dissapointment), no hassle no difficulties all they want is that it just works,play their games their media.Gnu/linux will eventually get there. I think it confuses people to much now.
support engineer Pc Mac Linux
"Après nous le déluge"
No Mac
I often hear that people think Macs are nicer for new users. I can not agree with that. I think Apple is VERY successful in making people THINK that they are easier. i think that old Macs like from MacOs till MacOS 7 where really easy but then it got really messy. And then MacOS X is not really an elegant desktop. Also you have to decide what you want to use - Mac with MacOS means fewer free software or more trouble with free software. A Mac is ok for people who only want to use Photoshop. ok, Macs are now also kind of Unix but from my experience doing things that are simple on Linux just do not work on a Mac or you need to find out - or the OS stands in the way.
Apple had some nice in the past like the magnetic power plug and they are very courageous in doing things no other big company would do. But I still do not believe that Macs are simpler. (btw. I was a Mac user 1995-1998).

310 choices!!!
I have the UNIversal conVICTION of immediate response to the current threat. If this 'friend' is one of mine, she is already one of the hundreds of members of our Linux Users Group, and could tell me a thing or two!
If it is an acquaintance, one of the many thousands who witness my demos in Costco, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, they have seen my demo of PCLinuxOS, Knoppix 5.1.1, and SimplyMepis.
Each sales person, er, CUSTOMER, gets their choice of one LiveCDrom, and the URL for the all of them, http://livecdlist.com
It's a hoot to see their enthusiasm! They are thrilled to see 20 Desktops, with upto 50X faster processing, immune to the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions", impossible in Microsloth!
When they see the Linux LiveCDlist website with 310 marvelous offerings, they wonder aloud why anyone still tries to make Microshaft run on all these fast computers!
Anyone notice the $950 needed after purchase of a Dell just to turn off the Nag screens?
How many of you really believe Dell would give up their cut of that Microsnot and "trusted Partner' in the protection racket, blood money!?
Glad to see Toshiba has also tossed their hat in the ring, if only in the EU.
Would strongly recommend
At least to most of the people I come into contact with. They are people who use their computers for web, email, light office use, and light photo stuff. Now assuming Dell is going to be smart and verify the hardware will work out of the box, then there should be very few things that will prevent this person from making a smooth switch. Easy WiFi and full graphics support would be a must!
The "problem areas" in my opinion will be the Quicken/Quickbooks and MSMoney users that will refuse to switch to something like GNUcash and things like shockwave, which for some stupid reason is not available on Linux, but is on Windows and Mac. There are still some online games that run on shockwave, and asking people to install the Win32 Firefox under Wine and install shockwave that way is not a good workaround
So it is very important you point out these things before they place their order! It is important people understand these "shortcomings" are not the fault of Linux or Dell, but that the hardware and software manufacturers provide drivers and software that are cross-platform.
I hope with a major OEM such as Dell getting on board with a popular Linux distro such as Ubuntu, Linux on the desktop will be ready for Prime Time! We should see it in much more widespread use - then the rest will naturally fall into place. Who knows -- I know we wont see MSmoney for Linux in the foreseeable future, but Intuit might jump on board. Maybe Adobe will get the hint as well.

BATTLEMENT MESA, Colo (KKCO) Oil companies will invest another $800,000 in the study. Announcement of the study comes as a the 3 year battle in Battlement Mesa between residents and Antero Resources has come to an end. A group of residents sued over alleged impacts of oil and gas development by Antero resources.
This week their lawsuit was dismissed by a Denver District Court judge. Residents we spoke with say they're just looking forward to getting on with their lives.
"I interact with a lot of people," says Keith Lammey, a Battlement Mesa resident and community leader. "There are people on both sides of this issue; but there are only a few that are pro drilling, and only a few that are anti-drilling," says Lammey.
Antero has announced plans to drill up to 200 wells within Battlement Mesa. "There's a whole lot of people, very long-time people and new residents that really think this is a great community, and really don't have strong feelings either way; and really don't have any interest if that lawsuit goes forward or not," he says.
Lammey says several agencies will protect the community. "There are a lot of people looking out for us, not only in our community, but at the county level and state level as well; so I don't lose a lot of sleep over it either way."
"The community has kind of moved on, not that they're accepting of it, or approve of it," says Steve Rippy, manager of the Battlement Mesa Metro District and Service Association. Rippy says there is a silver lining. "Because of the high amount of production that's been happening the past ten years, that revenue stream has really increased, and it's been really beneficial to a lot of jurisdictions like the fire district, and Garfield County; and the town of Parachute," adds Rippy. He says homeowners can benefit as well. "If they weren't around, the assessed values, or the mill levies, would be set at a much higher rate, and residents would pay a higher amount of property taxes.
And for Lammey, he's confident residents just want to be able to enjoy their lives in this scenic community. "All we're really concerned about is the health, safety, and welfare of our community," says Lammey.
An Antero Resource spokesman says the suit was thrown out because the group didn't have a legal argument and because the drilling hasn't yet occurred, so there's no legal issue. The impact study will be done by Colorado State University. They'll look at the type and quantity of emissions from drilling and fracking. The study won't be released until 2015, unless researchers detect dangerous levels of pollution.
Residents also say Garfield County has a budget surplus that has funded several projects in Battlement Mesa.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Stanford lost in overtime Saturday at Notre Dame when its vaunted running game was stopped just short of the goal line.
Or was it?
Tailback Stepfan Taylor was ruled down inches from the end zone on fourth down even though replays showed his body did not touch the ground and his forward progressed never appeared to stop.
"I didn't get a view of the last play, but Stepfan swore that he put the ball over the goal line on second effort," Cardinal coach David Shaw said after the sloppy but riveting 20-13 loss before 80,975 fans at Notre Dame Stadium.
Taylor was actually stuffed twice by the formidable Irish defense.
After a third-down run from the 1 produced no gain, Stanford tried again. Taylor rammed into the pile and was stopped briefly but kept churning his legs. Eventually, he twisted over a mass of players and into the end zone for what appeared to be the tying touchdown.
"I didn't touch the ground," Taylor said. "You could say it was great defense, but I felt I was in."
Believing the play was over -- and thus the game -- Notre Dame began celebrating and the crowd poured out of the stands.
But everyone was cleared off the field as the replay officials took a long look before confirming the call on the field -- that the play was over before Taylor's second-effort lunge.
The replay officials were from the Big East; the on-field officials were from the Pac-12.
"It was pretty apparent to me that the play was over," Irish coach Brian Kelly said. "So I think that's what everybody saw."
The disputed play ended a soggy defensive struggle in which No. 7 Notre Dame tied the score on a field goal with 20 seconds remaining.
The Irish scored first in overtime on a 7-yard slant pass from backup quarterback Tommy Rees -- starter Everett Golson was knocked out of the game late in the fourth quarter -- to receiver T.J. Jones.
Stanford encountered immediate trouble when Taylor was thrown for a 5-yard loss on first down. But quarterback Josh Nunes' 13-yard scramble helped salvage the possession and set up the dramatic final sequence.
It was a bitter defeat for the Cardinal (4-2), which has not scored an offensive touchdown in eight quarters (and an overtime period) away from home.
The way it happened -- in come-from-ahead fashion, with the disputed finish -- simply added to the disappointment.
"It's probably one of the hardest losses I've felt -- that and the Fiesta Bowl are about the same," linebacker Chase Thomas said.
Shaw was frustrated with the overtime call, but he was livid about a situation midway through the fourth quarter.
It came with the score tied and Stanford facing a crucial third-and-2 at Notre Dame's 3-yard line. As Nunes handed off to Taylor, the Cardinal players heard a whistle and stopped in their tracks.
They thought an official had blown the play dead when, in fact, the whistle came from the crowd.
Taylor was thrown for a 7-yard loss, the play stood, and Stanford was forced to kick a field goal for a 13-10 advantage.
"That one hurt," Shaw said. "The whistle came from the crowd. I don't know what can be done about it. I've heard from many people that it's happened here a few times. Once again, I don't know what can be done outside of maybe stopping the play."
Said Taylor: "Everybody heard (the whistle). That's why everybody stopped."
The play ended what was, to that point, No. 17 Stanford's best chance for a touchdown.
The game unfolded as expected, with each team trying to establish its running game and the defenses dominating.
Nunes completed just 12 of 25 passes for 125 yards; he also threw two interceptions.
The Cardinal punted six times and failed to score a touchdown on four trips into the red zone.
Its best offense was its defense, which produced the only touchdown of the first half: Ben Gardner sacked Golson from behind in the end zone, jarring the ball loose. Thomas pounced on it to give Stanford a 10-3 lead.
But the Irish had better success in the second half and tied the score early in the fourth quarter on a 24-yard pass from Golson to tight end Tyler Eifert.
Then came the crowd whistle, Stanford's go-ahead field goal and Notre Dame's tying drive in the final minutes.
The late-game drama was interrupted by an unnecessary-roughness penalty on Stanford defensive back Usua Amanam, who was ruled to have lowered his helmet while tackling Golson. The play sent Golson to the bench with blurred vision, but Rees didn't miss a beat as he directed the tying drive and then fired a touchdown pass in overtime.
"A few of their guys made some great catches," Gardner said. "Those were spots where we usually come up with plays, but we weren't able to today."

Careers in Contemporary Writing and Production
A composer creates instrumental pieces, either to stand alone or to be combined with lyrics. They may compose for a specific situation, such as film/TV composers who score/compose music to enhance videos or films, or they may compose for live performance and/or recording situations.
Read Kazuma Jinnouchi's alumni interview.
An arranger provides musical arrangements of a musical composition or song for an artist, band, orchestra, or other ensemble. The arranger determines the voice, instrument, harmonic structure, rhythm, tempo, and other aspects of a song or composition, based on the artist, producer, or conductor's specifications. Training in music theory, orchestration, composition, and harmony is required. An arranger should have experience as a copyist, writing music, and playing one or more instruments.
Producers work mainly with recording acts and record labels to produce records. They also work with composers and produce sound recordings for film, TV, and other forms of multimedia, as well. The producer supervises all aspects of the recording process—including contracting session players and overseeing the recording budget—and may also help the artist select songs to be recorded. Preferably, a producer should be an excellent musician with a lot of performing experience, and have a great depth of musical, acoustical, and studio technical knowledge.
"Ultimately, what you are creating is not just music, but the experience as a whole." - Kazuma Jinnouchi
Acoustic and Electronic Orchestrator
An orchestrator is responsible for transposing music from one instrument, voice, or electronic sound to another in order to accommodate a particular musician, group, or style, and writing scores for an orchestra, band, choral group, electronic, and hybrid ensembles, individual instrumentalist(s), or vocalist(s).
Composer for Film, Television, Theater, and Multimedia
A composer for film, TV, theater and multimedia scores music to accompany a motion picture for film, TV shows, a theater production, and video games or multimedia presentations. This could include dramatic underscore as well as popular songwriting using a blend of acoustic and electronic techniques. The traditional role of such a composer is to provide the dramatic underscore, and only more recently has the popular soundtrack begun to stand on its own.
Jingle Writer
Jingle writers are songwriters/composers/lyricists who specialize in writing music for radio and television commercials. They are responsible for representing their client musically as directed. They must be skilled in all styles, be strong musical arrangers, and be able to compose well for a very short form.
A songwriter writes both lyrics and music and is either a staff writer with a publishing company or a freelance songwriter. A songwriter may also perform and/or produce his/her own songs.
A transcriber notates musical performances onto a score from a recorded performance.
A conductor's main duty is preparing an orchestra or ensemble for the finest performance they are capable of presenting. This includes choosing the repertoire, organizing rehearsals, and possibly planning an entire season of musical events, as well as handling all other business-related matters of an orchestra. A conductor must have a strong ability on an instrument (preferably piano), be able to sight read, and have a strong stage personality.
A copyist transfers musical parts from a score onto individual parts. This person must have strong notation and transposition skills, training in music theory, and neat and accurate copy work.

SANTA CLARA -- Colin Kaepernick will remain limited to a series or two when Levi's Stadium welcomes in the 49ers for Sunday's exhibition debut there. That means Blaine Gabbert will get quite the stage to redeem himself.
Gabbert is looking to resurrect a career that went askew with the Jacksonville Jaguars the past three seasons. His 49ers debut wasn't pretty, either: 3 of 11 passing for 20 yards with one interception in last Thursday's 23-3 loss at Baltimore.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said he is "very pleased" with how Gabbert has come along this training camp, as well as since the 49ers acquired him in an April trade for a sixth-round draft pick.
"He had a couple of very good throws, missed a couple, as we said right after the game," Harbaugh said. "It was a good first step. He's continued to compete well."
Gabbert left the exhibition opener at halftime, and he was followed by Josh Johnson. McLeod Bethel-Thompson played the final series.
Asked specifically if the No. 2 quarterback job is up for grabs, Harbaugh responded: "A lot of jobs are up for grabs at this point. Nothing set in stone."
Kaepernick played only the first series against the Ravens, completing his only pass attempt, a 17-yarder to tight end Vance McDonald.
"We'll have the same plan going into this game," Harbaugh said.

Face Shape Haircut Mistakes
Should you cut fringe like Christina Ricci? See if your haircut is flattering your face
What suits your shape: Most styles will suit you. (Lucky!) "Everything we do to flatter heart, round or square faces is meant to make them look more oval-shaped," Buckett says.
Oval-shaped stars:
Long: Beyonce;
From straight, sleek styles to Diana Ross-inspired masses of curls
Medium: Kate Winslet
A one-length cut with subtle layers in front and on the sides is truly versatile, and switching from a middle to a deep side part complements waves or straight strands
Short: Eva Longoria
A chin-length, side-parted bob like Eva wore earlier this year -- worn wavy or straight -- works on most women, regardless of the shape of the face.

Needed more info. I've always thought I have a square shape face, but this leaves me thinking I MIGHT have a round -- although still unsure. All I know is my short shag hairstyle with bangs and a side part is highly flattering.

OAKLAND -- Just spoke to Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob about the purported recording of Clipper owner Donald Sterling making contemptible racist comments.
Lacob was careful choosing his words, but clearly wanted to express his vast displeasure over the sentiments.
Here's the interview ...
Q: What is your reaction to the comments on the Sterling recording and comments?
LACOB: Clearly inappropriate. It's very sad that we have to all go through this.
Hopefully we can get through this and resolve the issues and put it behind us. But clearly very inappropriate behavior.
It's just something that I think no matter who you are, racism doesn't belong period, in any way, doesn't matter, black, white, whatever color. Inappropriate.
I wish we didn't have to do this today. I wish our game didn't have to be the centerpiece of all this today. I feel bad for our fans and players and everybody who will have to deal with this.
Q: LeBron James has said it, others have said it—Sterling doesn't belong in the league. You're an owner, do you think Sterling should continue to be an owner in this league?
LACOB: (Long pause.) I'm going to have to not say anything about that at this point, let the NBA do it's work and find out what really happened, if in fact the tape is authentic, and then there'll be judgment.
Q: You'll have a say in this as an owner—are harsh penalties due, from what you know?
LACOB: I've only heard about this for 24 hours, so I'm going to wait and take my cue from the NBA leadership. I've never been through this before, I don't think any of us have.
So I think we're going to wait and see. I don't know what the rules are. I'm going to have to go and figure out what they are and deal with it.
Q: You think this is going to affect the series at all, one way or the other?
LACOB: Hope not. May the best team win. I just wish we didn't have to deal with it.

In 1960, Foster Grant started a big advertising campaign to promote sunglasses, and pretty soon famous film stars and pop stars started wearing sunglasses as part of their image. The public began to adopt this new fashion of wearing sunglasses, not just to protect their eyes from bright light, but also as a way of looking good.
I see a new ad campaign on the horizon. "Is that Dave Arango behind those Foster Grants?"

Night two started with the Meadville Lady Eagles playing against Tina-Avalon in a rematch from Friday night's CLAA bout (see elsewhere in today's LCL).
The Lady Eagles struggled early on, and trailed until there was less than 30 seconds left in the first half. But, after taking the lead, the Meadville girls did not look back, winning the game by a final score of 32-25.
The next game featured the Bucklin/Macon County Co-op taking on Tina-Avalon. The Raiders took the lead early, despite some missed shots on the offensive end of the floor.
The BMC defense was led by Alex Porter, who held his own private block party under the basket for most of the night. In the end, the Raiders won this game by a final score of 37-28.

Alright, I'm 13 moving into High school next year (freshman) and I'm 5', weigh 90 pounds and can only bench 60. I've also just started playing in 7th grade, but I feel I'm very solid for a two year player. Keep in mind I've never been on a team.
Also keep in mind these are pickup games I played and bet like a dollar when I play so I try real hard and heres how I do and our refs are friends that's dad's are refs and teach them what calls are used and when.
-1, or 2 turnovers when playing (WANT TO IMPROVE AND BE ABLE TO TIP ME A DRILL WHERE I CAN LEARN TO GO LEFT AND DRIBBLE THROUGH THE LEG)
-60% success when attempt to crossover someone
-At least 4 assists
-Only like one turnover from a pass
-Always look for my big men to be in the post
-Sean Marions, or Joakeem Noah
-I love my shot because it goes in a lot and surprises people because I'm little and they think I don't have a good scoring game, however I want to change it, should I? I've only used it for 2 years, and change wouldn't be tough for me to get used to.
-(2nd best 3pt shot in my school)- 41%
-Mid range- 64%
-Inside game- 32%, I miss lots of layups (PLEASE GIVE ME SOME DRILLS OR TIPS)
-Try to use floaters, I need a technique I'm terrible at them.
-Streaky shooter
-Can't create my own shot
-Tend to take any open ones I can get
-Don't shoot deep
-Not clutch
-Free throw- 78%( I THINK IT"S SOLID+ I make more I'm just being modest)
Man to man
-Very good, force my adversary to pass a lot!
-Will miss most of their shots against me, because I contest well.
-I keep my eye on the ball always(IS THIS RIGHT?)
-If I get a steal it's rarely a foul
-Rebound like 4, I tip the ball a lot and actually alright for a little guy
-When I'm boxed out it's a tough thing to rebound the ball
Shot blocking
-I have high ups and will jump very high to block bigger men
-Average at least a block per game, I think it's good for a shorter kid.
-Can't run very fast with the ball, I lose it a lot more often
-If I'm getting back on defense I'm pretty fast
-In my opinion I can play 16 minutes in all without getting very tired
-But even after 16 minutes, if I slow down a little, I tend to recover the energy that degraded from me
Injury factors
-Never sprained, bruised, or broke a bone or any body part.
-The worst I'll get on the court is a jammed finger and a cramp
-How will I be able to train the following:
Speed with the ball?
handles*left*right*behind the back*spin*between the legs*?
fancy passes?
Should I change my shot form although it goes in A LOT?
How can I create my own shot and whats a jab step?
How should I work out (STRONGER,TALLER,) foods to eat to?
What should I do to create a spot for myself on the team after I've done the workouts and mechanics to my game?
FIrst off, getting a good nights sleep every night and eating right will increase your height, and you will grow as you get older anyway.
You are only 13 so i advise you to do Bodyweight strength exercises such as pushups Pull ups chin ups Dips etc until you get to high school where you should start working with weights. Weights will NOT stunt your growth and squats are NOT bad for your knees. You should work to gain mass, strength and explosiveness
I advise changing your shot in the off-season, and keep in mind that it will get worse before it gets better, and will take a high amount of repetitions to get it right, but this will be beneficial for you in the long run. I suggest buying the better basketball better shooting 2 dvd to improve your form. www.betterbasketball.com is the link
You should work on your ball handling, because you will play point gaurd on any team and I suggest the effective ball handling program to get you started. www.effectiveballhandling.com is where you can get it.
Lay ups. You just need to calm down, on a fastbreak you will obviously be sprinting full speed but when you lay it up, do so with soft hands. Meaning lay it off the top corner of the backboard lightly.
You can create your own shot using a good crossover move, or a step back. Youtube will help you out with how to do each one. A jab step is when you are in a triple threat position and you fake like you are going to drive by stepping diagonally with one of your feet quickly. This can put your defender off balance so you can rise up into your shot, make a good pass or drive the other way.
You should eat healthy meaning lots of protein rich foods such as fish and vegetables and eat a lot. Eating a lot won't make you fat if you eat healthy, itll also help you grow. Fried foods are bad and so are anything that is processed. You should limit your junk food to once a week.
To get on your team you should play unselfishly, take sensible shots i.e. not when there is a 6'5" guy with a hand in your face. Take charges, play intense defence and respect the coach's/ref's call. Don't argue with your coach.
Hope this Helped
I think that you need to play with a team, and play a lot, basketball is a collective game, you don't need to take body wheights yet, you are only 13, but you need to improve your running, because is now that you learn to be fast, and all the individual aspects of the game ( passing, driblling, ball handlling, shouting...). Listen to what your coach, and are the teams that win games, and normally the more smart one, so don't take impossible shoots, give importance to your defensive game, are a lot of good individual exercices that you can do, you can find them here or in youtube, or google it. Sleep well, Eat well, drink a lot of water, try not to eat fat food and drink sparkling drinks and sodas. Remenber that all the places that have a basketball court or playground, can be a practice spot, and play the game every day, because only playing you can improve.
Hope this help.

Okay. First, to grow taller, that needs to run its course. But eating right and getting a lot of sleep will help you in that department. As far as shooting is concerned, start close to the basket with good form and once your muscles get used to the right form, developing strength will help in getting more range. You dont need to lift wieghts, just pushups and situps and chinups. Practicing layups takes repitition. Just practice them going as hard as you can full court.(This will also help with stamina and controlling the ball while running fast). With dribbling, just practice the moves that you are weakest at and turn them into strengths. Focus on making sharp passes so the ball wont get stolen. Also use bounce passes, which are a lot less likely to get stolen. As far as shooting is concerned, just practice from different spots on the floor. Dont use fancy passes untill you are 110% with the fundamentals. Also with floaters, you have to practice those kinds of shots because they usually dont come naturally, unlike for me. A jap step is when you thrust your foot in the direction of the defender to create space for shooting. BUT you must bring the foot back fairly quickly. Stretching will help with the cramps. If you do get a cramp, do what i do, play through them. Playing through minor pains like those will make you a little bit tougher. DIVE ON THE FLOOR COACHES ABSOLUTELY LOVE HUSTLE! Joina team, since they practice every day, that will help you improve you game a lot! Good Luck it looks like you have a bright future in basketball if you stay this passionate about the game.

Jobs for highly-paid McCrory staffers never posted
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 1:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 1:56 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Gov. Pat McCrory says two 24-year-old campaign staffers landed senior-level jobs in his administration because they were the most qualified applicants, beating out older candidates.
But the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, where Matthew McKillip and Ricky Diaz got big promotions and raises, has been unable to provide any evidence their positions were advertised or that other applicants were considered. The agency also says there are no written descriptions or requirements for their jobs.
McKillip is paid $87,500 a years as a chief policy adviser. Diaz makes $85,000 annually as the agency's communications director.
A review of descriptions for similar government positions shows McKillip and Diaz do not meet the academic or experience requirements to qualify for even entry level positions in the areas they oversee.

The Basalt Fire Department plans to ask voters to approve a property tax increase in November to make up for the loss of revenues caused by the recession and slow recovery.
"We're not asking for more money than we ever had. We're asking to replace the money we lost because our assessed values have gone down," said Fire Chief Scott Thompson.
It's a familiar story in Eagle County. Starting this year, the Eagle River Fire Protection District has lost about 25 percent of its property tax revenue - virtually its only source of steady income - because of falling property values in the valley. Facing a drop of about $1.7 million from its $7 million budget in 2011, district officials last year asked voters for a property tax increase that would have kept the district's revenues at 2011 levels through 2019.
Before the election, district officials said the drop in revenue might result in firefighter layoffs and station closures, but Eagle County voters still said no.
The assessed values of residential property took a dive of anywhere from 25 to 45 percent in the mid-Roaring Fork Valley during the recession. Because of the delay in reevaluations by the state government, taxing districts didn't start feeling the pinch of reduced property taxes until last year.
The Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District's revenues from property taxes fell about 37 percent, said Bob Guion, president of the board of directors.
"We think that will continue to go down," he said.
Real estate experts have told the fire district to expect the assessed value to drop another 20 to 30 percent at the next revaluation, which will affect property taxes collected for 2014 and 2015.
The fire department, like most special taxing districts, is almost entirely dependent on property taxes. It charges fees for transporting medical patients in ambulances.
Guion said the district needs to increase revenues or consider dropping services. It can't make do with current revenues and offer the same level of service, he said.
Ironically, while revenues are falling, calls for service are increasing. There were 20 percent more calls in 2011 and another double-digit increase appears likely for this year, Thompson said.
To get out of the quandary, the fire district's five-member board of directors recently voted unanimously to pursue the tax hike, Guion said. The move was recommended by a special committee comprised residents of the fire district and board members.
"We need to have relief from our taxpayers," Thompson said.

An 88-year-old woman was confronted by a masked man during a home invasion Saturday night in Rockingham County.
Authorities with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office said Virginia Sharp was inside her home on Ellisboro Road about 11 p.m. when the man cut the phone lines to her home and kicked in a back door.
Investigators said the assailant, who was described as a white man with a medium build, confronted Sharp and demanded money. They said she gave him about $100, much of which was dropped in her yard as he fled.
Sharp was not injured during the robbery.
Anyone with information about the case should contact the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office at 336-634-3232 or Crime Stoppers at 336-349-9683.

NAPA -- Running back Maurice Jones-Drew never had to search for motivation. It came in daily doses from people questioning him because of his stature.
Time and again, the 5-foot-7 Jones-Drew silenced doubters with his play, be it at De La Salle High, UCLA or the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now that he's with the Raiders, he has found a new source of motivation from those who wonder if he has anything left.
"There's nothing you can do to please everyone," Jones-Drew said Thursday after another practice in which he earned praise from teammates and coaches. "People will be humbled sooner or later. If it's not by me, it will be by somebody else."
Jones-Drew, 29, led the league in rushing in 2011, and he was atop the chart again in 2012 when he suffered a broken left foot.
The injury limited him to six games and required surgery. Jones-Drew had two screws inserted into his foot, which forced him to relearn how to walk, let alone run.
So, perhaps it's no surprise that last season Jones-Drew rushed for only 803 yards and 3.4 yards per carry, or almost 1 yard less than his previous career-low.
With that came doubts about whether Jones-Drew still has what it takes to be an every-down back. He calls such talk "hilarious."
"I know what I have left," Jones-Drew said. "I know the work I put in this offseason to get to where I need to get to be able to play at a high level. I stopped worrying about what people were saying."
There are few things Jones-Drew loves more than a challenge. Tell him he can't do something, he'll find a way.
He had plenty of people telling him last season that his best days were behind him. As a result, Jones-Drew embarked upon a workout routine this offseason that confirmed he still has the desire to be the best back.
Jones-Drew vomited after his first few early-spring workouts, he said, which consisted of sprints up a steep hill in Danville.
In the end, he said, the rigorous training helped him heal from numerous injuries he played through last season.
Jones-Drew also faces another challenge. He spent the past five seasons as the unquestioned starter for the Jaguars. In Oakland, he is competing against incumbent starter Darren McFadden for playing time and carries.
"They understand that both of them are going to get an opportunity to play, both of them are going to get touches and they're competing really hard," coach Dennis Allen said. "It's important for both of them. Both of them want to be the starter. They wouldn't be good football players if they didn't want that."
"It was good to see," Allen said. "I expect him to be able to do that a lot this year."
Allen jumped to Schaub's defense by pointing out that Schaub "responded well" after the interceptions and has played well overall in camp.
"I know how this whole thing is going to work," Allen said. "Anytime Schaub throws an interception, everybody is going to want to try to hit the panic button and act like the sky is falling. ... I'll let (others) push the panic button. I'm not going to. He's still doing a great job."
Wide receivers Juron Criner (hamstring) and Greg Little (hamstring) and linebackers Kaluka Maiava (hamstring) and Marshall McFadden (hip) also missed practice.

GoodI like this at the same time I also dislike some. I like its dual power- solar and battery. I like its HUGE screen which is 5 inch X 1 inch (approx). It displays 12 numbers, each numbers are 0.75 inch tall- which is just superb. At the same time the the calculator itself is big 5.5 inch X 7.5 inch (approx). The buttons are also big. You can not carry it in your pocket. The user book provided with this product is not up to the mark. The auto review function review the items with a little delay. This calculator also has Grand Total (GT), Mark up (MU), Correct, Go To and 150 step check up and dow… (Expand)

Its a mini typewriterThis is not a calculator but this chunky device is mini typewriter. Its design is so clumsy that u will feel that casio designers are the dumbest people on earth. The big display is no doubt good but just see the keyboard size and spacing, it is only there to further slower your calculations.

Has anyone been able to configure web streaming to connect to a VideoLAN server stream? If so please can you post an explanation and ideally an example of the entry for web.conf.
I have a Slingbox which I can stream out to my local network using VideoLAN. I can successfully connect multiple Windows Media Player clients to the VideoLAN server and view the Slingbox output. However, I'm not sure sure how to add an entry to web.conf so that my Slingbox can be accessed via PS3MS.
I'm 99.999% sure it is technically feasible, just don't know how exactly.

Cost Effective Local Search Marketing for Eye Care Providers
May 27, 2012 Leave a comment
Local independent eye care providers are a vital link the chain of optical care. In this post we will describe how local eye care professionals can cost-effectively use search engine marketing to attract new patients and retain existing ones.
Keyword Search Engine Marketing – Contextual Search Ads
Small text ads woven into the search results pages on Google, Bing and Yahoo are a fact of life for every Internet user. This type of advertising is called 'contextual search advertising.' The short text ads are 'contextual' because they are served up to search users based on the relevance of the ad to the search terms (the 'context') the user enters into the search box on the search engine. Those little ads in one form or another account for over 90% of Google's revenue. They are also very important in driving customers to millions of businesses worldwide. A local eye care professional will set up an account with Google (or Microsoft Adcenter which feeds ads to Bing and Yahoo) and pay per click for each user that visits their website from one of their ads on the search engines.
Each advertiser creates a set of simple text ads and they enter a series of keywords that they want their ads to be displayed with when searched for. Google analyzes the advertisers text ads, the keywords they've chosen, the amount the advertiser is willing to pay for a given keyword, the content and quality of the advertiser's landing page and the interest that search users have in the ads over time. All this analysis goes into a 'quality score' (from 1 to 10) that Google assigns to each keyword in the advertisers' set of target search terms.
The higher the quality score and the higher the bid for a search term results in a higher number of views of the ad and equates to a higher number of referrals (clicks) to the advertiser's website.
Local Search Marketing
What not everyone knows is that Google, Bing and Yahoo make an effort to serve users ads that are relevant to their physical location.
This localization of paid search results is done in primarily two ways:
- Advertiser geo-targeting. Advertisers may elect to have their ads served only to users that are searching from a specific location. These ads may be targeted to single or multiple country, state/province and metropolitan locales. The major search engines attempt to locate their users geographically. If you are a mobile user you may be located to within a few feet of your current location. If you are a computer user you may be geo-located to a continent, country, province or city.
- Local keywords added by a user to the search phrase. When an advertiser sets up a text or display ad campaign on a search engine, they select the search terms they want their ads to appear on and how much per click they are willing to pay for each visitor. A best practice in choosing your keywords is to add location modifiers to all keywords. For example, instead of bidding on searches where a user types in "best eye doctors", an eye care provider in Bellevue, WA may bid on terms such as, "best eye doctors in bellevue wa", "best eye doctors in factoria", "lake sammamish eye doctors", "eye doctors in downtown bellevue", etc.
By combining the two concepts above, the local eye care provider will drive highly qualified leads to their website and increase the number of phone calls to their offices. In summary, the best practice for local keyword search engine advertising is to: a) geo-target your search campaigns to your local practice areas, and b) bid high on a wide variety of highly relevant search terms that include your practice locations.

We spent a wonderfully relaxing two weeks at Cala and Diego's place. Esporles is a traditional town unspoilt by tourism. The house is in a typical street,well away from the tourist hustle and bustle . Everything is within walking distance..shops,post office and lovely cafes. Best of all the parking is only two minutes walk from the house ! On the evening of our arrival we found a nice little friendly restaurant practically next door and had some supper.
The house inside is cool and quiet and the back garden and patio area is an ideal place to have breakfast and to chill out after a hard day on the beach or sightseeing!!
Diego and Cala are great hosts . They are very kind and helpful and recommended good beaches and restaurants for us to visit. They always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.We had plenty of time to ourselves in the house and when we were there at the same time we had wonderful conversation and laughs. They are well-travelled,open-minded people and are very easy to share with. The house has a very relaxing, creative feel to it and we completely felt at home there. In fact it felt just like staying with friends!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Uncomplicated and charming house with warm hosts in a beautiful little village. We stayed 4 nights in the little room that was spacious enough for the two of us. Good beds, good location to explore the west coast. We did not rent a car and managed well around. Though a car might be advisable for some people. The house is very peaceful and inviting, we felt very much at ease with our hosts. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
My stay at cala's house was wonderful and I can just recommend it. Very nice and helpful people, very cosy and tidy room and house and a nice garden to sit in the sun. Also Esporles is a great place to go hiking or just relax.
Very nice authentic place in Esporles with very welcoming hosts.
We spent a lot of time in front of the fire place.
We also got a lot of useful advice for things to do and see on the island...
Thank you Cala for the nice day´s on your house! It was very cleanly and friendly.We share the kitchen and it was uncomplicated. The breakfast in d garden was a dream. thank you...
Laura and Diego were the best hosts one could imagine. Their house is great and perfectly located in the nice town of Esporles. We would love to visit them again (and also welcome them to Berlin!)
Wir sind sehr nett empfangen worden und haben uns insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt, obwohl das Zimmer wirklich winzig ist und nicht geeignet, viel Zeit darin zu verbringen. Es gibt aber einen schönen Gartentisch, wo man sich aufhalten kann und eine Küche zum Mitbenutzen. Insgesamt würde ich wieder hingehen, weil ich mich im Urlaub kaum im Zimmer aufhalte.
Excellent accueil par Diego, l'ami de Cala que nous n'avons pas rencontrée car sejour que d'une nuit.
Très agréable maison avec un joli jardin.
Vraiment très très bien.
Etwas zu kleines Zimmer mit Betten über Eck. Aber nach der anstrengenden GR221-Etappe wollten wir ohnehin nur noch schlafen, eine komfortable Kuschelzone war nicht gefragt. Cala hat uns das komplette Erdgeschoss mit Küche, Bad und einem sehr schönen Garten überlassen. Gut zum Relaxieren. Sie ist eine sehr nette, überaus hilfreiche Gastgeberin. Wir würden jederzeit wieder bei ihr einchecken.
Mooie tuin waar je eherlijk kan eten, lieve mensen, schoon en rustig. Ze bracht ons naar het vliegveld en naar Valdemosa met de auto. Perfecte vakantie gehad!

What's that glistening in your Easter basket?
Sure, everybody loves Easter eggs, but there are even more dazzling orbs that can find their way into your Easter baskets. These orbs are capable of significantly upstaging even the most statuesque chocolate bunnies and will put the marshmallow ones to shame.
The orbs also represent a gift guaranteed by nature to never lose their beauty or allure. Oh ... and they're not edible, so don't try it.
"Pearls are a symbol of lasting beauty and love," said Koji Kawamoto, pearl specialist from Mie Prefecture, the heartland of pearl culturing. Kawamoto's vast assortment of pearl strands will be on display at Karats of Vail Friday through Monday. "Pearl necklaces are timeless. They are just as fashionable today as they were hundreds of years ago," he said.
Some people are aware that true pearls are born from irritants in the shells of oysters, mussels and clams. But most don't realize how each pearl is made unique by the secretion of coating from the mollusk on the irritant as it slowly builds up and becomes beautiful or that the color of the creature's shell is what determines the jewel's hue along with the creature's diet and its environment.
The specimens at Karats come from all over the world and - like Easter eggs - come in a pastel rainbow of shades: peacock, pistachio, aubergine, silver, green and blue from Tahiti, white and gold from the South Sea and freshwater from streams across the globe, in both round and Baroque shapes. According to Kawamoto, when it comes to conveying a new beginning for spring, no variety is more appropriate than the classic pinkish white Akoya.
"They can be necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants or rings. Akoya pearls are the first one to get if you don't have pearls yet," Kawamoto said.
