Golden Globe nominations for TV and film
The Golden Globes for film and television were announced Thursday, confirming that awards season is upon us.
Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that hands them out, is regarded as a joke whose votes are easily influenced, their awards are taken somewhat seriously by studios, which use them as a marketing and promotional tool. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Listen to a free advance stream of Brad Paisley's new album
Brad Paisley's new album, "Wheelhouse," won't be released until next Tuesday, but the country star is giving fans a free sneak peek this weekend via a full album stream here at iTunes.
Paisley served up the first insight into the album's direction last year when he released the advance debut single, "Southern Comfort Zone." In the song's soaring refrains of "Dixie" and audio drops from "The Andy Griffith Show," "The Grand Ole Opry" and NASCAR, Paisley celebrated his native southern culture while simultaneously urging folks to step out and explore the world.

Present Music takes on opera in Ince's 'Judgment of Midas'
Announcing that Present Music is about to do an unusual concert is a bit like announcing that there will be a warming trend over the next few months.
But Present Music's world-premiere performance of Kamran Ince's opera "The Judgment of Midas" is unusual even for an ensemble whose mission is doing the unusual. The group may specialize in new music, but putting up an opera is coloring outside the lines, even for it. »Read Full Article
'The Art of Controversy' sketches the power of political cartooning
Few people afflict the comfortable more savagely and effectively than political cartoonists.

His book features 76 black-and-white illustrations plus a four-page color inset section; selfishly, I would like to have seen twice that many images. »Read Full Article
Philip F. Gura's literary history broadens canon of the American novel
Talk about an old boys' club: Exactly 50 years ago, Floyd Stovall justified his choices for "Eight American Authors" - a study of Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Whitman, Melville, Twain and Henry James - by stating that "doubtless most readers will agree" that they're "the most important American writers."

West Bend — For the first time since it decided to change its name several years ago, the Museum of Wisconsin Art seems like an actual museum.

Picks for Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards
Sunday night brings the annual Academy of Country Music Awards at 7 on CBS. While the show is actually older than the fall's Country Music Association Awards, it has felt recently like the underdog of the two - perhaps because the Las Vegas-based program is physically detached from the genre's home in Nashville.
But, it is still a major night, filled with stars marching down the red carpet in hopes of capturing shiny statues in a number of categories. In recent years, Vegas has tended to lend the show to a looser feel that should be magnified by this year's hosting duo of Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan. (Watch a behind-the-scenes video of the pair's pre-show preparation here.) »Read Full Blog Post

At Turner Hall, a comfy renovation
Think of the defining landmarks of Old World Milwaukee; 131-year-old Turner Hall and its restaurant are right there with the rest of them.
That restaurant was closed from September 2010 until its new operator, the BMO Harris Bradley Center, fully renovated the space and reopened it in November. The project polished the dining room from floor to ceiling, making it a comfortable place for taking in the century-old murals and stained-glass windows (and the TVs tuned to sports over in the bar). »Read Full Article(1)

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice of Contraception in Taiwan: Fifth Province-Wide Fertility Survey (KAP V), 1979 (ICPSR 6866)
Principal Investigator(s): Sun, Te-Hsiung; Chang, Ming-Cheng
The fifth of six province-wide surveys of married women in Taiwan was conducted in 1979 and 1980 to add to the information previously gathered in 1965 (KAP I, ICPSR 6862), 1967 (KAP II, ICPSR 6863), 1970 (KAP III, ICPSR 6864), and 1973 (KAP IV, ICPSR 6865) regarding women's knowledge of, attitudes toward, and practice of contraception. Along with continuing questions about family relations, fertility, family planning, and family demographics, the surveys collected additional information about the marriage process itself, premarital sex, how marriages were arranged, living arrangements prior to marriage, and attitudes and behavior regarding the influence of deceased relatives on the living. Demographic information such as age, education, employment, and family history was collected for both husband and wife.

The NFL Draft is undoubtedly the highest-touted amateur selection event in all of the four major American sports; the stars align in New York City and the brightest stars of the NCAA prepare to take a step into fortune, fame, and media over-exposure.
But, the history of the draft isn't a kind one. Hence, not every college standout is promised NFL glory. Likewise, not all collegiate afterthoughts are guaranteed the same fate when playing under the big, American-colored, tri-lettered shield.
As such, there is seldom a more celebratory event in the NFL than a previously unknown athlete emerging from obscurity and into the heralded pigskin pantheon. Recently, RSVLTS got to sit down with one of such athlete at the Xbox One Loft in New York City. Victor Cruz, undrafted out of Umass, discussed on his lifelong gaming hobby, Xbox One's "Playoff Face Off," and his humble origins. While led us to produce this list of the all-time greatest undrafted NFL legends:
21. Tony Romo
Nowadays, being the quarterback of America's (possibly most hated) Team draws the ire of spectators across the country. And, it is true that the quarterback that everybody loves to hate has never brought the star-craniumed squad a Lombardi Trophy.
But, it is difficult to deny Romo from a statistical basis—numbers that stand out as some of the best Dallas Cowboys history. The aforementioned says a lot, considering that Romo must share the statistical spotlight with the likes of Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman—two Hall of Famers.
20. London Fletcher
Recently referred to as the "ageless" linebacker by many different sports pundits; Fletcher's most laudable NFL feat wasn't his Super Bowl title with the St. Louis Rams nor was it his four consecutive Pro Bowl selections in the twilight of his career. Rather, Fletcher's ability to spend six years with the Washington Redskins' collective epitome of dysfunction is nearly inhuman.
Tolerating the Albert Haynesworth debacle, the Donovan McNabb fiasco, and—most recently—the feud between Robert Griffin III and now-fired Head Coach Mike Shanahan; Fletcher is a better man than most.
19. Sam Mills
The late Sam Mills is a player whose number is retired with two rival franchises: the Carolina Panthers and the New Orleans Saints.
Appearing in the league as an undrafted free agent after spending some time in the ill-fated USFL, Mills' NFL career would be highlighted with 5 Pro Bowl appearances and over 1,000 career tackles.
18. Priest Holmes
Holmes—for a brief amount of time—was the brightest star in the NFL. Entering the league in 1997, Holmes was on the Ravens team that won the Super Bowl during the turn of the century. However, with Jamal Lewis largely as the feature back for the World Champion Ravens, Holmes had to go to the Chiefs to rise to prominence.
During his time in Kansas City, Holmes was selected to the Pro Bowl three times. In addition, he led the NFL in rushing in 2001 while winning the Offensive Player of the Year Award in 2002.
17. Drew Pearson
The original number 88 for the Dallas Cowboys, Pearson was Roger Staubach's favorite target for many years. Remembered mostly for his iconic part in the legendary "Hail Mary" play—a prayer-filled pass that catapulted the Cowboys over the Vikings—Pearson became the standard by which Dallas receivers are judged. This is why every Dallas receiver who is projected to reach stardom has worn his jersey number—including Hall of Famer Michael Irvin and Pro Bowler Dez Bryant.
16. Rod Smith
A part of the Denver Broncos' back-to-back Super Bowl seasons in the late 1990s, Rod Smith was the least likely star on a group of improbable Pro Bowlers. Starting on an offense with fellow unheralded college prospects Terrell Davis and Shannon Sharpe, Smith remains the only undrafted receiver to trump the 10,000-yard career receiving yards mark.
In addition to his 11, 389 receiving yards and two Super Bowl rings, Smith also has three Pro Bowl appearances.
15. Victor Cruz
To say that Cruz emerged from nowhere is an understatement—one that is equal to his status as an NFL superstar in caliber.
Coming from then- Division 1-AA school UMass, Amherst; Cruz quietly entered a cluttered Giants receiving corps—a crew that included: First round selection Hakeem Nicks, recent Pro Bowler Steve Smith, and slot-speedster Mario Manningham.
But, Cruz showed promise after a lightning laden performance in a pre-season game against the New York Jets. Unfortunately, a knee injury derailed Cruz's 2010 rookie season. But, 2011 came to pass along with a new opportunity in the form of overpaid cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha—a game where Cruz rose to prowess and debuted his trademark salsa dance.
Recently, RSVLTS got a chance to sit down with Cruz at the Xbox One Loft in New York City. During the interview, Cruz reflected on his status as an athlete of humble scholastic origins. On this subject, Cruz said that it was "good" that UMass has experienced a veritable athletic renaissance.
14. James Harrison
Harrison is one of the few undrafted players who also boasts the title of "Defensive Player of the Year". From Kent State University, Harrison was an athletic nomad during his first few seasons in NFL—a mini-odyssey that even saw him landing with the Rhein Fire, which is a team in the now-defunct NFL Europe.
A five-time Pro Bowler, the 2008 Defensive Player of the Year, and a two-time Super Bowl Champion; there is a good chance that Harrison will have his likeness in enshrined in Canton in the future.
13. Jeff Saturday
A player who fell victim to the NFL's obsession with size, the recently-retired Jeff Saturday will be remembered in the League's lore as Peyton Manning's right hand man and the guy who engaged with Manning in an epic display of verbal fisticuffs.
Originating from the University of North Carolina, Saturday ended his career with six Pro Bowl appearances and a Lombardi Trophy.
12. Wes Welker
One of the NFL's smallest men has also been one of its most prolific pass-catchers. With towering receivers like Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, A.J Green, and Demaryius Thomas dominating the NFL, Welker—with his comparatively modest stature—has etched his own legacy that is on par with the quartet of monstrous dynamos.
With five 100+ reception campaigns since 2007, Welker has also been selected to a quintet of Pro Bowls. And, it is likely that he will join Rod Smith as the only other wide receiver with over 10,000 career-receiving yards. Currently, Welker's career total stands at 9,258.
11. Antonio Gates
A trend that started with Tony Gonzalez, Gates made the aforementioned idea into an over-pursued craze—the concept of turning basketball players into Tight Ends. And, while Gonzalez also played football in college, Gates exclusively played basketball—making him one of the least likely NFL stars in history.
Since his entry into the League in 2003, Gates has been selected to 8 Pro Bowls.
10. Arian Foster
Constantly labeled as the "Most Interesting Man in the NFL", Foster's Dos Equian nomenclature is second only to his sheer dominance while running the football.
With three Pro Bowl selections and a rushing title during his young career, Foster is currently averaging over 1,000 yards during each year of his tenure in the NFL.
9. Kurt Warner
It will be interesting when Kurt Warner is eligible for the Hall of Fame. During his career, he was a Super Bowl Champion, a 2- time NFL MVP. However, during the same span of time, he was a placeholder for Eli Manning—an afterthought who later revived his career with the Arizona Cardinals.
8. Jim Langer
A key anchor of the offensive line that helped plow the 1972 Dolphins to the NFL's only perfect season, Jim Langer went undrafted in 1970, but would later appear in six Pro Bowls—a career that earned him a spot in Canton, Ohio.
7. Emlen Tunnell
Largely a player that goes forgotten, Tunnell was one of the most important players in NFL history. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1967, Tunnell entered the league as an undrafted player in 1948—eventually becoming a member of the New York Giants. With 79 career interceptions, Tunnell's total is two picks shy of the all-time record that stands at 81.
6. Marion Motley
Among the toughest players to ever step on the gridiron, Motley made it onto the field during the League's early days—back in the 1940s. During this time, Motley won an NFL Championship, 4 AAFC Championships, and earned himself and induction into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1968.
5. Willie Brown
At one time, the Oakland Raiders were the most feared team in football. This aura was justified with players like Willie Brown. Undrafted in 1963, Brown began his career with the Denver Broncos before going to their western rivals.
A member of the Hall of Fame, Brown has been featured in a total of nine football all-star games—NFL and AFL combined.
4. Dick "Night Train" Lane
After many decades, nobody has managed to beat Lane's single-season interception record. As a rookie, he tallied 14 interceptions—a feat that no defensive back has beaten. Lane would go on to earn a spot in Canton after seven Pro Bowl selections.
3. John Randle
Before Ray Lewis' animated ferality horrified offensive players, there was John Randle. As an undrafted free agent, Randle signed with the Minnesota Vikings in 1990. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010—twenty years after his initial entrance into the League—Randle's 137 sacks and seven All Pro selections continue to stand as examples for current defensive players.
2. Lou "The Toe" Groza
As a member of the Browns during their glory days, Groza doubled duties as a Kicker and an Offensive Tackle.
A member of the Hall of Fame, Groza appeared in nine Pro Bowls.
1. Warren Moon
Moon remains one of the most underappreciated players in NFL History. But, such was the case when he was still in college—a seemingly constant nature of being under reputed. Enshrined in Canton, Moon earned MVP Honors in 1990 while tallying nine Pro Bowl appearances during his widely unheralded career.

Pets, like humans, need routine vaccinations to prevent many diseases. Some of these diseases are infectious and some can even be fatal, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
In general, pet vaccinations include core vaccines and non-core vaccines, according to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).
The core vaccines are those aimed at protection against severe diseases that have higher risks of infection, according to AAHA. The core vaccines for dogs include canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine adenovirus and canine hepatitis. Cat vaccines include feline distemper, feline calcivirus and feline herpes. The core vaccination against rabies is required by law for both dogs and cats.
The non-core vaccines are not always necessary. They are given depending on the risks of exposure to the diseases. The vaccines against Lyme diseases, kennel cough, and Leptospira bacteria are examples of non-core vaccines for dogs. Feline non-core vaccines include FeLV, FIV, Chlamydia, Bordetella, and feline immunodeficiency. It is suggested that you ask your veterinarian before vaccinating your pets with non-core vaccines.
The vaccination time varies with type of vaccine, age, lifestyle and environment. In general, the puppies or kittens should be vaccinated at two to four week intervals around the age of six to eight weeks until around 16 weeks of age, according to ASPCA. While certain vaccines might be given annually, others might be boostered every three years. The vaccines against rabies should be received according to the state laws. Some states require annual rabies vaccination, but some may call for every three years or even four years for cats.

Studio Theatre
March 19–22, 2013 ♦ Tuesday–Friday @ 8 p.m.
March 23, 2013 ♦ Saturday @ 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
This musical disco dances its way through the relationship of neurotic composer, Vernon, and wacky lyricist, Sonia, and is modeled after the real–life relationship between Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager. In a clear case of "opposites attract," the two become not only songwriting partners, but also fall in love. Until they can figure out how to work together, they find themselves in some hilarious situations. Filled with catchy up–tempo disco songs and soulful, reflective ballads, the score takes you on just as crazy a ride as Sonia and Vernon! Contains adult language and themes.

Chances are, your dad is a baby boomer or even older. With people living longer these days and more and more boomers hitting retirement age, the infamous Father's Day blue striped tie probably isn't the right gift for your still quite active father.
Sixty is the new 40, and 80 might as well be the new 60. What better symbol of the active, aging father than President George H.W. Bush, who jumps out of airplanes in his mid-80s? Our aging fathers do not need more things.
Intangibles. That's the ticket. Father's Day gifts should be consumables, which can be eaten, used, spent, sipped or enjoyed. No dust catchers for later generations to sort, no hideous Necktie of the Month Club ties.
If Wally and the Beav had given traditional father Ward Clever gifts from the five categories we'll look at, he might have been disappointed. But your modern dad would love getting such gifts.
The Sportsman
Fathers with established hobbies are usually inundated with hobby-related gifts. How many baseball hats or golf balls can one man have?
If your dad plays golf, what better gift than tee-times? Many public clubs offer gift certificates. Even if you are a duffer, why not line up a tee-time or two with dear old dad? If he belongs to a private club, consider purchasing cart rentals or other extras that don't come with membership.
For the avid spectator sportsman, check out special sports packages. Most cable companies offer individual games or game packages. If your dad can't afford such premium sports channels, wouldn't that be a great gift?
Attending a baseball game is a summer American tradition, and the new MLB ballparks all across the country offer up an afternoon of total fun. Buy Dad tickets and pick up the food tab. After all, nothing tastes more like summer than a ballpark hot dog covered with onions and relish.
But, what if your dad doesn't like sports?

The Atik 450 is the first camera available to astronomers that uses Sony's excellent ICX655 5MP sensor. This is one of the latest generation of Sony devices, and shows the results of Sony's continued development to drive down thermal and read noise, while providing an increasing number of pixels and good quantum efficiencies. The 5MP sensor is an ideal match to shorter focal length refractors and HyperStar systems, giving DSLR levels of resolution in a camera optimised for deep-sky astrophotography.
The Atik 4-Series cameras are a development of the 3-Series cameras, featuring a narrower body. These are particularly suitable if the camera is to be placed in front of the telescope in HyperStar or Fastar systems, as well as on custom-designed systems that need a narrow-bodied CCD camera. The cameras feature setpoint cooling to make taking matching dark frames a snap, and simple 12V power requirement to facilitate field operation.
The Atik 450 is a perfect match for short focal lengths. HyperStar/
Fastar systems and small refractors with focal reducers are among
the instruments of choice for this camera.
Featuring the narrowest body in its class, the Atik 450 is one of the lightest cameras as well. But don't think there was a compromise regarding cooling performance or stability. The cooler module has been engineered for low power use, making your field sessions last longer. Also, the desiccant port is now easily accessible from the exterior.
The Atik 450 comes with Atik's renowned Capture application which provides a simple and intuitive yet powerful way to acquire images. Tools include a focus assistance readout, image sequencer, guide camera control and integration with Atik filter wheels. Capture aims to take the stress out of imaging, making your time at the telescope more enjoyable. If you require compatibility with other software there are plugins for MaxIm DL, Astroart and CCDSoft, as well as a full ASCOM driver.
Also included is Dawn, Atik's new image-processing software. Like their cameras, it was designed from the ground up to be powerful yet easy to use. It allows a sequence of image-processing steps to be represented in the form of a pictorial workflow which can be created with a few mouse clicks and can then be executed very easily for repeatable and speedy results.
We recommend adding an AC adapter if you plan to power the camera from an electrical strip. You can add this option below.

Maschine does the job.. the feeling isn't there, that's down to you not the Maschine, what do you want from it a back massage before you start fondling the pads, and tweaking the knobs.
One mans dream is anothers nightmare, to me FL studio and Maschines appearence is a bit toy-ish looking, both are great for anyone to get going.
Posted 09 May 2013 - 01:34 AM
Didn't call them toy's said they was toy-ish looking, that can have a big effect putting people off, which is very different from saying they are toy's even though we all play around with "Tools", why do we get so offended at the word toy, toy's are amazing, remember playing with Transformers and He-Man,it get's your Imagination going, and Maschine is my favourite toy, got to embrace that Inner child, how can we get excited if we all try to do the grown up attitude thing, which is a joke in itself adults are worse than children by far. If you put A REN next to a Maschine, and I can see in that blurry shot there, it's made better, It's made from metal , maschine is plastic look at the sides looks like it's glued together, I think the MK1 seems tougher than MK 2. And the Mk2 metal cover is so easy to bend by accident when removing it. Can I run Maschine into outside Hardware effects and back in, no I can't, you can't change tempo on each sequence or scene either, The REN can. Anyone who use's Maschine knows they have to run it through another program, or export all their tracks, so you can do this outboard business, with another Daw, I've also run the same track in maschine, and the Ren, and the Ren sounds better, it's warmer, Maschine sounds like the old Fruity Loops, and my tracks sound 10 times better when they have been exported. Maschine isn't even dual core, If you open up 64bit you can't run anything 32bit no 32bit vsts will show up, you have to have both shortcuts available and swop in between them both. Maschine is basically a very expensive beat making sketchpad, after the MK2 being released it made me realise, there will be a Mk3, probably better casing, and output's, I wouldn't be surprised if they even give it it's own audio interface like the REN has, it's business and we are the target, unfortunately quality isn't what is was back in the day, and products are rushed out, and we get it from first releases constantly with most products.
When I was a teenager a few people like Chubb Rock tried to tell me my Casio RZ-1 and Casio SK-1 are toys and I couldn't make a record with them. Well not only did I make a record, but it the very same hit record that blew up in Europe and started a trend in NYC which propelled others such as Rob Base & EZ Rock as Well as Kid N Play to name a few.
Now I can see how one can make such an assumption about FL Studio's GUI because it's pretty deceptive especially since it's one of the most advanced and absolute best selling DAW on the market, but to say such a thing about Maschine is borderline ridiculous. It's a very tough build and works great unlike the MPC Ren which several of my friends who rush out to buy it all either returned it or sold it or still complaining about it.
Like this guy:
My point is what you call toys or toyish are actually tools, you as an individual just have to know what you're doing and how to use them.
And dude I don't make assumptions or assume it's fallacy that just leads to trouble, I look into stuff, and take my time and research into things from every angle. been around FL since it was fruity loops 3 and there is nothing deceptive about clicking a mouse button to fill or delete in the sequencer, looks better now and sounds better at version 11 than it ever has, it's really evolved, it's just not for me, it's like tomatoes, I don't eat them because I don't like them. And I have not said you can't do this that way, I am MR Let's Try Everything we can, what you did with the Casio is probably more of a door being kicked down than you realise, people still want those sounds, it's inspirational, and it's a benchmark in music. But I'm not Chubb Rock, saying they're toy's and you can't, I 'm that guy like you, saying "er you can and your not putting me off but I'm not ashamed to call them toys " it really is a case of each to their own, otherwise we would all sound the same.
I take it the guy in the video, got the first model, yup there were problems they're being addressed, shouldn't be like that but think about it, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Smartphones, all first release's seem to go up the creek, but the speed Akai are doing updates is pretty good, yeah they rushed it, and it's still USB 2 which I really don't get. But Maschine crashes, I thought 1.7 was more stable than 1.8, and it was, as there was a very quick update to sort Maschine out with zooming in, it still has issues with that. If you stick a couple of big 24 bit waves in to chop up, it can crash, and did on me again yesterday, again. I was sticking up for Maschine, but I'm just realistic with what I notice, my wording doesn't help sounds like I'm going to go warp factor Oi Oi!! straight to the shop and snap it up, not the case, see how it fairs by the end of the year when prices drop and see if it goes USB 3 and 64 bit. and I wish both would sort out sidechain it's so stupid.

wow every beat i hear on youtube that is made by maschine is wack ! i think im going to sell my or can you used it like a mpd on Fruityloops ?

this might be a stupid question but if you made say a drumbeat with maschine can you play that track and record in scratches while the drums play? also does maschine have a decent timestretch function?
Apparently the time stretch only got introduced recently and it's not that great
Posted 25 July 2013 - 02:36 AM
Apparently the time stretch only got introduced recently and it's not that great
forgot to say thanks for replying
i copped one anyway, just getting into learning it now, its weird for me personally coming from only using hardware but im sure il get there in the end, anyone got any good video tutorial recomendations? ive subscribed to a few on youtube that have been ok'ish
Posted 09 August 2013 - 07:21 PM
As for drums not hitting or things like that. I don't find that (though I've not messed with a SP404 as a direct comparison) I believe a lot of that has to do with the drums being used and the use of the hardware/software but most importantly the person programming the drums.

I haven't sold or got rid of my MPC yet as I am not prepared to commit fully to Maschine but I highly doubt at this point I will be reverting back.
Also, I messed with MPC Ren a bit and had the same experience and opinions of the video above. Hated it.

5 odd college courses you can actually take
Not all higher learning has to be stuffy
Fall is here, and the most ubiquitous thing (besides maybe football) with this time of year is going back to school.
Stop and think. What do you picture when you imagine schools and college? Maybe it's children in colorful classrooms or high-schoolers at their lockers. If you imagine a campus, perhaps you visualize young adults being lectured on thoughtful topics in art and literature or learning complicated science and engineering. Higher learning, right?
Well, it's not all stuffy stuff at these universities.
Seems like they can decorate anything in 50-cent words and offer it for course credit. As such, these classes may strike you as a bit weird, out of place, or hey, maybe you dig 'em. After all, we all have an opinion on topics such as pro-wrestling and Lady Gaga, right? Well, so do the profs at these schools, teaching these classes.
Our first such course is literally garbage ...
No. 5: The Joy of Garbage - Santa Clara University
Running counter to most American's ideas of garbage as being just plain "icky," this class asks students to take a serious second look. After all, we mostly just chuck it and move on.
But a few sittings in this class will get you seeing the light. Though stinky and smelly, garbage is super-relevant ... and prevalent.
Where does it all go? And can we turn it into a useful commodity? Let's see ... we could: No. 1: Pile it all up to make replica pyramids. No. 2: Use it to create islands in the sea in case global warming steals all our land. No. 3: Recycle it. Hmmmm.
Heck, there's even a cultural component to this class: how different countries handle their garbage; and can we work together to solve the waste problem.
See? The "joy of garbage" is that it brings us all together.
Of course, so do board games, as our next course shows ...
No. 4: Scrabble - University of California, Berkeley
Yes, scrabble.
First, we gotta say one thing: this class is offered as a student-led, professor-sponsored course. So it's not an upper-level class by any stretch. And Berkeley, (yes, that Berkeley) has a bunch of these in an arena of courses for which students get to take the lead.
Sound like a pretty cool, grass-roots method to learning. But still! Playing scrabble twice a week for math credit? There better be a "Q-U-I-N-C-E" or a "P-Y-X" on those boards.
Every college has its own fluff classes. Turns out that, at Berkeley, they like to use theirs to reinforce the age-old wisdom that school is used for three things: knowing them "three Rs."
And, hey, if your "'rithmetic" is a bit lacking, no matter. The better to not decipher your enormous tuition bill.
Next up, would you consider taking Gaga 101?
No. 3: Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame - University of South Carolina
Celebrities, on top of being lightning rods for gossip and advertising, can also be focal points for learning -- especially about, well, being a celebrity. And Lady Gaga represents the most dramatic rise to stardom in recent history, making her an excellent point-person.
In this University of South Carolina sociology class studying stardom, you get to ask, "Why does everyone care about what Lady Gaga does?"
No, seriously. Break it down a little: she has two albums with a few hit songs. That may be a dream for most people, but doesn't explain the attention she gets as many, many other pop singers can sport freshman album breakthroughs. (Remember Natalie Imbruglia?)
So while it might seem redundant to pay yet more attention to this fame monster, let alone in the entirely new setting of academia, it is a conversation that might be worth having.
Our next odd college course is a walk in the park ...
No. 2: The Art of Walking - Centre College
You do gotta hand it to them -- for two reasons. First, when's the last time you paid attention to the way you walked? And two, think of something you do more of?
Call it the most applicable class ever. (Unless, they have one on breathing, which they just might.) And perhaps it's a great unifier, a course that can bring people from a variety of disciplines together for a stroll. Aww.
Actually, at Centre College in Danville, Ky., this is a philosophy class -- another thing everyone can jive with. And the walking, it turns out, is more of a complementary activity, allowing the various settings visited -- a park, a cemetery, what have you -- to stimulate thought and discussion.
Hmmm, on second thought, maybe it's all a diversion, a way to get otherwise sedentary philosophy loafs up off their derrieres and on their feet.
Last up, if you're wrestling with your course schedule, consider this class ...
No. 1: American Pro Wrestling - Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Elitists like to look down their noses at professional wrestling fandom, but at the upper-echelon college of MIT, they heed a bit more respect.
In "Topics in Comparative Media: American Pro Wrestling," they see it as a useful tool for examining masculine role models and also looking at the increasing aspect of drama into the wrestling productions.
There has been an evolution, hasn't there? The stars have gone from merely hefty to ridiculously ripped; and the story lines have gotten increasingly exaggerated and involved. Everything always has to be more. It's all kind of a neat polarization of stereotypes: "dainty" theatrics and "manly" muscles.
And to continue with the stereotyping, it's the geeks of MIT that are studying this. So maybe a little brains can go along with all that brawn and drama that makes up pro wrestling these days.

Book Chapter, Acting in Time on Energy Policy, pages 1-11
May 2009
Author: Kelly Sims Gallagher, Member of the Board

- Oil Security and the Transportation Sector
- Policy for Energy Technology Innovation
"This book clarifies the urgent priorities for U.S. energy policy at the dawn of the Obama administration and recommends specific steps that the U.S. government should take to address the numerous energy-related challenges facing the United States. Government must play a prominent role to ensure that adequate supplies of various forms of energy are available to enable and sustain U.S. economic growth, boost the competitiveness of U.S. firms in the global energy marketplace, counter the extreme volatility in oil prices of the past few years, limit the political and economic vulnerabilities associated with dependence on oil and natural gas, adequately and cost-effectively address the global climate change threat, and develop, acquire, and deploy advanced, clean, and efficient energy technologies to meet all of the above challenges.
The book's titleActing in Timerefers to the persistent problem in U.S. energy policy that typically just enough is done to satisfy the short-term political imperatives, but not enough is done to actually solve the underlying problems themselves. As a result, many of the fundamental economic, environmental, and security-related challenges arising from patterns of U.S. energy production and consumption have become more intractable. Some now approach a point of crisis...."

- (5)Trailer HitchesSuzuki Verona
- (166)Electrical & WiringSuzuki Verona
- (15)Brake ControllersSuzuki Verona
- (179)Hitch CoversSuzuki Verona
- (178)Suspension SystemsSuzuki Verona
Featured Brands
In a reflection of Suzuki's desire to carve its niche in the lucrative midsize sedan segment, Suzuki has released this compact brand. With ultra modern adjustments made on both its interior and exterior, the Verona has earned itself a soft spot in drivers' hearts. Standard features for this brand include: power windows, electro chromatic rearview mirror, heated seats and power moon roof. But just because the Verona is a classy car does not mean it's incapable of transporting heavy luggage. You ca carry as many bags as you like if you utilize a trailer hitch. Trailer hitches are simply mounted on the vehicle frames – either on the sides or back - and then the trailer is attached on. For clarity, Suzuki Verona trailer hitches come in four classes. Trailer hitches between Class I and III fall under the category of weight bearing hitches while the ones between Class III and IV are weight distributing hitches.
Weight bearing trailer hitches are able to handle light weights, while the ones in the weight distributing are able to handle heavier loads. Trailer hitches in the fifth class handle relatively heavier loads. These are mostly used in pickups. Both weight bearing and weight distributing hitches are convenient, and your choice will ultimately be determined by the weight of the load you intend to tow and your Verona's maximum weight capacity. When shopping for trailer hitches, it is vital to choose trailer hitches that assure safety when towing, and this is determined by how well the hitch is constructed and the materials used to construct it. Trailer hitches from renowned companies such as CURT, Hidden Hitch and Tow Ready offer the best of these. You can find these and other equally good brands of trailer hitches at CARiD, one of the leading auto parts and accessories stockists in the country.

Guides & Articles
- Side MirrorsTowing Mirrors | The Aftermarket Solution To Best Vision When TraileringWhether you're towing a trailer, boat, RV, or other equipment, keeping an eye on the road behind you becomes a challenge. Without proper side mirrors mounted further outboard, changing lanes or backing up requires a huge leap of faith - along with worry about just how high your insurance deductible is for certain types of incidents.November 30, 2016
- Trailer HitchesTrailer Breakaway Kits Stop The Trailer If It Breaks LooseSometimes when towing a trailer, it's hard not to think about all the things that can go wrong – especially worst-case scenarios such as the trailer breaking free from your vehicle and becoming a "runaway" that puts property and life at risk. You start to worry if, when you lowered the trailer hitch down onto the ball, the locking tongue actually secured in place under the ball or did it get pushed up into the ball cavity on the hitch? This mishap can happen to the most of experienced towers because things look normal to the eye, and the coupler will even lock in place as if it's properly attached. Or, maybe the nut on the tow ball has been slowly backing itself off on a long trip (lock washers have a less-than-infinite life span).April 28, 2015
- Trailer HitchesTrailer Tool Boxes Provide Extra Lockable Space Where You Need ItWhen you carry a boat, ATV, or other equipment on a trailer regularly, you're going to need to bring a lot of gear and equipment along for the variety of tasks inevitably required during the loading or unloading process. First, there are tie-down straps, hooks, bungee cords, locks, safety chains, gloves, and a flashlight. Then, then there's assorted hand tools you may need in a pinch like wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, pry bars, and other essentials – because flat tires and burned out bulbs need to be changed immediately. Not to mention other motor oils, lubricants, and fluids no one wants to be caught without. Whether all this stuff is loose or in a portable container, it's going to take up a lot of space in the cargo area of your vehicle. And if you don't want to leave it in your car all the time, there's the hassle of lugging it back and forth to your garage or somewhere else.April 24, 2015
- WinchesTrailer Winches Provide the Muscle When Loading Your TrailerWhen looking for a trailer winch, it is very important to remember that they are rated by weight capacity. Unless specified otherwise, the weight rating for a trailer winch is the amount of weight it can pull when loading a boat, ATV, or other vehicle onto a trailer – not what it can lift. Compared to an off-road winch, the load object is free to roll or float, and is therefore considered a rolling load. The trailer winch does not need to work as hard as it would, for example, if it were trying to free a Jeep stuck in the woods.April 23, 2015
- Trailer HitchesReplace Your Worn or Wrong-Sized Trailer CouplerA coupler is the metal piece that physically connects your trailer to the tow vehicle. Once the coupler is permanently bolted or welded to your trailer's frame rail(s) at the front (this is the "tongue" area), it then fits over the round ball on the trailer hitch attached to your vehicle. Levers of various designs on the coupler clamp around the round ball tightly enough to prevent it from disconnecting, but they also allow just the right amount of play for proper pivoting around turns and over road undulations.April 21, 2015
- Trailer HitchesYour Trailer Will Stop Straight & True With Replacement BrakesIf your trailer has sat for a length of time without being used, things may look alright on the outside to the naked eye. However, odds are your trailer's brake components and wheel bearings are far more deteriorated than you think, because moisture and corrosion really get a foothold when metal parts sit motionless out in the elements. That goes double if the trailer is backed into salt water during boat loading and unloading. Moving brake parts will rust and seize; wheel bearings will lose their grease and they too will corrode. When these parts are compromised, the risk of accidents increases, or the trailer simply becomes unusable. Worn or rusty brakes can cause the trailer to pull, lose braking power, or completely lose control if a wheel seizes or comes off.April 03, 2015
- Trailer HitchesHitch Locks Will Secure Your Precious TrailerWe have been extolling the virtues of our lineup of trailer hitches and hitch accessories for quite some time now. If you have reviewed our extensive array in our online trailer and towing store, you've seen the value. Hitches help you bring your boat to the water and back; allow you to tow your family camper; carry all the kids' bikes using a hitch-mount carrier; and even help you perform such mundane tasks as reaching your SUV's roof when you install a hitch step.April 02, 2015
- Trailer HitchesBrake Controllers Are A Necessity To Slow Down Your TrailerThis is the year you got serious about your trailering set-up. You've treated yourself to a new, top-of-the-line pickup truck with a tow rating high enough to pull your house off its foundation if necessary. You used your annual bonus to get that bigger boat you had promised yourself (with your spouse's blessing, of course). The boat dealer told you that you could use the truck to pull that new trailer "with no problem". What he did not tell you is that you still need to figure out a way to operate the trailer's brakes. That is done with a brake controller. The good news is, we have a great selection of them, and we will even show you how easy they are to install.April 02, 2015
- Air Conditioning & HeatingConnect Your Car Lights To Your Trailer Lights The Easy WayWhen it comes to "electricity", many people are either scared silly of it, or run the other way rather than try to learn about it. Since it is a powerful force, it certainly is something to be respected. For us vehicle owners, perhaps we understand that our cars and trucks have a battery under the hood that needs occasional replacement, and light bulbs that may burn out after several years. Beyond that, many of us are ready to leave any electrical work to the "experts".March 30, 2015
- Trailer HitchesDo You Dip Your Boat Trailer In The Water? Take a Look HereAt CARiD, we understand that owning a boat is about passion. It involves an appreciation for the vessel itself no matter how large or small, and the satisfaction that comes with being around it. Spending time on the water also signifies relaxation, camaraderie, sport, and a sense of pride that is hard to find elsewhere. We know that your boat is your baby and that you want the best for it - whether it's on sea, land, or in between. In this article, we'll cover many of the accessories we offer to make trailering your boat easy and safe. Because we hand-select only vendors with proven records of craftsmanship, quality, and durability, you'll find only the best products in our Trailer Accessories Section.March 26, 2015
- Trailer HitchesSecure Your Trailer Load With Quality Tie-Down StrapsThere are many types of tie-down straps for securing a variety of objects - whether they're being hauled on a trailer, in a van, or simply tied to a bike rack. Skipping the step of properly tying down your load is a no-no, plain and simple. Police will cite you for endangering public safety on public roads, and the well-being of your cargo is no longer under your control. Instead, it's at the mercy of the laws of physics and other such things that are unpredictable, potentially leading to loss of your personal property or worse.March 25, 2015
- Trailer HitchesDinghy Towing Is The Answer When The RV Is At CampVacationing by motorhome continues to grow in popularity. Look at the advantages: no need to rent a hotel room night after night. If you have children, your hotel room savings multiplies. No unpacking and repacking of luggage at each stop. You get to enjoy the great outdoors as you set up camp, cooking and eating al fresco. We've heard of couples, typically retired ones, who will take off and travel for months at a time, seeing the country, while driving their "home away from home" down the highway.March 17, 2015
- Trailer HitchesHitch Mounted Cargo Carriers Let You Carry More StuffTrailer hitches are not just for pulling trailers. At CARiD, we have seen more than our fair share of customers who have purchased a receiver hitch even though they do not own a trailer and never intend to own a trailer. We have heard from customers who have purchased a used vehicle with a trailer hitch installed, not intending to ever use it. That is, until they discovered that hitches have multiple uses. In this article, we are going to demonstrate how convenient and flexible receiver hitches are when they are utilized as cargo carriers.March 16, 2015
- Trailer HitchesHitch Steps Give You A Leg Up!Give up? Taken as a whole, these statements bring out the realization that more and more Americans are driving what used to be called "trucks", and, there is a growing need to be able to reach the roofs of these trucks, whether it's to access the cargo box, brush off last night's snow, or just to wash the vehicle.March 13, 2015
- Trailer HitchesTowing Mirrors Allow You To See Behind Your TrailerIf you have recently purchased a new full-size truck with the intention of pressing it into regular trailering service, you most likely sprung for the vehicle manufacturer's "Towing Package". The truck makers have woken up to the fact that they were losing millions of dollars in business to the aftermarket. One sales channel which has been popular has been towing. Following that age-old adage "if you can't beat them, join them", the vehicle manufacturers want you to buy your trailer hitch and all the accompanying accessories directly from them. This will likely include large "towing" mirrors which extend a few inches further from the truck body, helping you to see what's behind that horse trailer you're pulling.March 13, 2015
- Trailer HitchesHitch Covers Add Style and Protect Your InvestmentIf you have several hundred dollars invested in a receiver-type trailer hitch, there is one more item we want you to consider adding to the purchase. Yes, you have spent a considerable amount of money already, because in addition to the hitch, you bought a ball mount, trailer ball, hitch pin, and electrical wiring. Presuming that this is your first experience with a rear hitch, we feel obligated to point out to you that the ball mount and ball should not be left in the receiver tube all the time!March 06, 2015
- Trailer HitchesFront Hitches: Multiple Uses for Your SUV or TruckTrailer hitches, properly called receiver hitches, are all the rage in our truck-obsessed society. When 50% of the new vehicle purchases in the USA today are some kind of pickup truck, SUV, or minivan, the addition of a hitch at the rear of the vehicle makes perfect sense. Depending on the vehicle, a properly installed and rated rear hitch can pull up to 18,000 pounds. There certainly are enough people engaged in their hobbies of horse trailering, boating, or camping, to make use of a truck and hitch. By the way, they are called "receiver hitches" because they accept, or receive, a ball mount and hitch ball which slides into the assembly. That ball mount can conveniently be removed and stowed when not in use.February 09, 2015
- Trailer HitchesEverything You Want to Know About Trailer HitchesThere are four major types of trailer hitches, regardless of whether they are installed at the factory or added on afterward. A hitch may simply have a bar sticking out past the bumper with a ball mounted to it. Or there may be a square receiver that takes a ball mount that slides into it. In all cases, there are different weight ratings.February 28, 2013
- Trailer HitchesChoosing Hitch Balls and Ball MountsWhen you're setting up your trailer with a new tow vehicle, several things need to be considered: the ball mount and ball must be rated to take the weight, and the ball has to be at the right height. Once you have determined the proper weight class, choose a ball mount of a high enough class for your trailer, and set up your ball mount and ball for proper towing. Here's how you do that.February 12, 2013
- Trailer HitchesTrailer LightingTrailer lights always seem to be out, or intermittent, or making the turn signals blink too fast. It's a non-stop case of whack-a-mole to keep your trailer lit up properly, here's some advice on how to reduce your maintenance investment. There are as many as seven electrical circuits in the standard trailer plug, but don't assume that just because your trailer has a plug all is good.February 04, 2013

Monitoring your blood-sugar level
Testing your blood-sugar (glucose) level is a crucial daily habit for a diabetic. Testing more than one time a day will assist you in preventing the long-term complications of the disease. Diabetics test their blood sugar levels through a drop of blood. In order to draw each blood sample, a diabetic must own some sort of blood glucose meter.
The Basics
When you test your blood sugar level, it is crucial to know your target range. Your doctor can tell you what that range is for you based on age, the severity of the disease and your overall health. For some diabetics it is only necessary to test one time a day. Others may have to test before bed, after exercise, or even after meals.
What Type of Meter is Right for You?
There are many different factors that contribute to what meter a diabetic chooses.
- Insurance: Some insurance providers will fully cover the cost of your meter. According to the Mayo Clinic, Others may "limit coverage to specific models or limit the total number of test strips allowed."
- Cost: Price ranges will vary from meter to meter. There is also a variation in the cost of test strips. Find a deal that works best for you.
- Use and special features: Some meters will be easier to use than others. Depending on your individual needs, there may be some optional features that become a necessity. Some meters are compact and easy to carry, use a larger font, some can talk, have a backlight, and many even have larger strips, making it easier to draw blood. Choose what works best for you and accommodates your needs.

Palliative care and hospice care are different. Hospice is both an insurance benefit and a philosophy that focuses on enhancing quality of life for patients who likely have less than six months to live. The goal of hospice is to help people live as well as they can for as long as they can.
Palliative care, on the other hand, is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness, whatever the diagnosis or outlook.
Palliative care and hospice care do share some of the same principles. The aim of both is to make people feel better overall. For example, palliative care doctors have expertise in relieving the symptoms of a serious illness, such as pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, constipation, sleep problems and depression.
Palliative care also goes beyond just medical concerns. It takes into account a person's emotional and spiritual well-being. In many cases it includes family members and other loved ones as well, providing services to the entire family and helping everyone involved better cope with the disease.
When you engage in palliative care, it does not limit other care in any way, nor does it take the place of therapies used to treat or cure disease. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness. It can be provided together with curative treatment. Palliative care is focused on easing the burden of the disease, as well as any potential side effects that may come from the treatments for that disease.
Palliative care can be very useful for people who are dealing with a terminal illness from a number of perspectives: physical, spiritual and psychological. However, palliative care also can be valuable for those whose medical conditions are serious, but who are not facing end-of-life issues.
Research has found that people who get palliative care soon after diagnosis of a serious illness experience lower rates of depression and anxiety. They also have an overall improved quality of life. In addition, there is evidence that some patients with a serious illness who seek palliative care soon after diagnosis may live longer than people who do not.
Teamwork is an important part of palliative care. Depending on the situation, palliative care professionals can come from a wide range of medical specialties, including internal medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, geriatrics, and oncology, among others.
