I know that some of you are thinking that with your busy schedules (or other things that make life hectic) you will not be able to use the freezer meal method to make things a little less rushed and save you money.
Well, there is a way that you can "cure" the problem of doing all the cooking yourself. Co-op freezer meals!
What does that mean? When you "co-op" freezer meals, you round up your friends and/or family members and each of you make a certain number of meals for each family. For example, let's say there are 5 other people in your co-op. You would make 6 different (large-sized) dinners as well as 6 different lunches and 6 breakfasts for the people in your co-op. The other members would do the same. In the end, you find a way to get together to exchange and split the meals up so that you each have 30 different meals.
If someone in your co-op has a great dinner recipe, then that person can make that particular dish plus 5 other meals for dinners. Then you make your specialty and so forth. This takes a lot of time out of making the meals.
Be sure to take into consideration:
- Family sizes (a family of 8 vs a family of 3)
- Those who have family members with allergies
You will have to label and make an index card for each freezer meal with any preparation details, cooking instructions, and what else needs to be added at the time of cooking. However, you only have to do this once with each meal – then you can store it in your recipe box for next time.
Be sure to get your grocery lists ready before going to the store and your coupons to match, so that you are ready to save. You can also check the store deals on Frugal Diva Frenzy to match the prices and coupons for the items you need.
Another option is a co-op get together in one kitchen (if you can find one large enough to host all 6 of you). It works the same way – make the meals for the month then split them – but only you get to visit with one another while you work. You would split the cost of the groceries as well, so that everyone is paying less for their month's worth of groceries.
I have done this before and it works out very well. There is nothing like a bunch of people in the kitchen laughing, cooking and just having a great time. It also helps when you have little ones, as everyone can take turns checking on them to make sure they aren't getting into anything they aren't supposed to be.
Not only is a co-op a great excuse for a get together and save on your grocery budget, but you also get some amazing and new meals that you might have never thought about making otherwise!

Marchesa Is Headed to London This Fall
Showing at London Fashion Week.
Marchesa's Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are both transplanted Brits, so it makes sense that they'd return homeward to celebrate the label's tenth anniversary. The Telegraph reports that, though they're New York Fashion Week regulars, they plan to show at London Fashion Week in September. "All our English friends and family can get an opportunity to celebrate with us," said Chapman, adding that the show is a one-time-only thing, and we'll be welcoming them back to New York in February.

Medics assist Piermario Morosini on the turf of the Pescara's Adriatico stadium, central Italy, Saturday.
Players at an Italian soccer team have pledged to look after the severely-disabled sister of their former team-mate Piermario Morosini, who died on Saturday after collapsing on the pitch during a game.
Antonio Di Natale, player for Serie A side Udinese, said Monday he and colleagues would provide financial and emotional support to the Maria Carla, for whom Morosini was the main carer.
Morosini, who was on loan to Serie B side Livorno, collapsed during a game against Pescara on Saturday and died on his way to the hospital at the age of 25.
He was orphaned in his teens. His mother died when he was 15 and his father died two years later. His brother, also disabled, committed suicide shortly after that.
Di Natale promised the other players, and the club's affiliated charity Udinese For Life, will now look after her.
"We know the situation of his sister and we as a team, the club, and Udinese for Life have decided to help her because she is in real need," Di Natale told the club's website.
"It is essential to stay by the side of Piermario's sister for her entire life. She needs us and we want to help," he said.
"When I saw the scene on the television it was immediately clear that it was something serious. It was a very bad moment. He was an exceptional lad, so full of life. Despite all the problems he had, he was always at the disposal of the team and every day he gave us all strength."
Udinese's Antonio Di Natale, shown in this file image from March 2012.
The site also gave details of a fund created to pay for her care, noting that this was only the latest tragedy to hit the family.
The BBC reported that Serie A, Italy's top football league, cancelled all its matches on the weekend after his death.
Meanwhile England soccer player Fabrice Muamba was discharged Monday from the hospital where he had been treated since collapsing from a cardiac arrest during a game less than a month ago.
The former England under-21 international had been in the London Chest Hospital since collapsing on March 17. His heart stopped beating on its own for 78 minutes while doctors worked to resuscitate him and his prospects of survival were uncertain.
It is still unclear whether Muamba will be able to play professionally again.

Today, I saw my neighbor's Christmas tree they had put up on their porch, with decorative presents under it. Being that my neighbors hate me, I figured I would take a present to piss them off. While walking back home with the present, I opened it. Inside it read "I knew you would, douche bag." FML

The story of a startup that wasn't
Put together on January 10, 2013 3:12 pm by Dimitris
What do you think?
Today the domain for a startup that we started back in 2009 expires – and I'll let it do so.
CobaltBox started off with great ambition and a vision to become something significant – only it didn't turn out as planned.
The idea was that we could use the web as a platform and include additional information on it – all in a relevant and contextual manner. Essentially, we aimed to allow web users would see the usual content of the webpage augmented by additional, personalised information brought to them with the help of other services.
So for example if you were reading an article on the economic crisis you would be able to see relevant Amazon book suggestions, similar Wikipedia article suggestions, YouTube video links and so on in a way that would enrich your browsing experience without leaving the website. Sounds pretty interesting right? Well, at least for 2009.
Plus, over time a user profile would be build so the information displayed would be even better targeted to the individual web user.
On top of that we thought that we should open the project so that third-party developers would be able to use popular services' APIs and write their own layers of information – web apps essentially – meant to run on our platform. That way further user personalisation could be achieved: users would select which web app layers to see when browsing.
We went on to release the first such app – Parallel Links – a Firefox plugin (the architecture was such that at least initally web apps would be in the form of browser addons), which embedded additional links on top of a page.
Surely an ambitious plan with multiple (even if somewhat sketchy at first) revenue possibilities: affiliate links, ads, apps' monetisation to name a few, all could be a part of it – plus a couple which were bound to come up down the road.
Although we spent nearly a year on developing both the backend and the frontend at the end of that period we realised that we wouldn't get very far and gradually decided to abandon the project. So the least I can do is share some of the lessons learned in the process.
1. When you start you should be sure you can build – product-wise – at least 80% if not 95% of what you're trying to make. Otherwise you'll spend way too much time learning the tools and solving otherwise trivial problems. That time is something you simply don't have especially if you're like us where we didn't have any revenue while developing.
2. Speaking of revenue, unless you're super confident you can make it – preferably with proof for that, i.e. a previous successful effort – don't postpone putting in place a way to monetise your efforts. In other words, it is vital to structure your progress from day 1 in a financially viable way.
3. Stealth mode is probably not that much worth it. Were we more vocal about our efforts maybe we would save ourselves of wasting some time or picked better tools or steered the entire project to a better direction altogether. Or we would be just taking instead of making and learning from our mistakes – which would also be wasting our time. Nobody can really tell but I think next time I will be trying the more open approach.
4. Build something that works as quickly as possible – the famous minimum viable product but at an even more simple scale. Namely, it doesn't have to start paying for itself, it just needs to do something. In other words make something that works and can be shown to people – even if it's buggy and half-baked. That helps a ton in getting actual feedback and boosting your morale you've actually delivered something.
5. There are many ways to do things wrong and only a few things to do them right. When it comes to technology the wrong ways are generally more obvious than the right ways. So if you're not sure which is the right way of doing things (which tool to use, which architecture, which library, etc) at least avoid doing it in one of the wrong ways. If it looks like too much effort, if no one else is doing it that way, if you think it's unlikely to work, if there seem to be steps missing (to be figured out later), then it's most likely wrong and you should find another way.
These all are sensible advice you can probably read all over the web. The reason these tips are offered again and again is that it's actually quite hard to follow. Maybe we'll be wiser to follow it and other minor things that definitely went wrong.
Until the next time, then.
If someone is interested to have a look at our efforts, feel free to contact me and we can share how we approached the whole project.lessons

Thursday night's debate in New Hampshire among Republican presidential candidates was the most lively and probably the most revealing give-and-take yet among the GOP hopefuls.
It also provided the most insight into the issue of allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the U.S. military. Responding to comments made by their Democratic counterparts Al Gore and Bill Bradley in a debate the evening before, the GOP contingent pulled no punches.
All six candidates addressed the issue, but Gary Bauer and Steve Forbes laid the foundation for what should be instituted regarding homosexuals and the military.
Forbes hit the nail on the head, saying "The military is not an agency for social experimentation. They have a real mission and they should be allowed to carry it out."
Bauer described previous comments by Gore and Bradley pertaining to a requirement that candidates for the Joint Chiefs of Staff support the policy on gays in the military as "idiotic."
"The Joint Chiefs of Staff have one purpose: To keep the United States out of war, and if they fail that, to win any war we're getting into. And our party ought to find our voice and say that we will not put that kind of requirement on our military."
It would seem other prerequisites should have priority over such an unnecessary characteristic like sexual orientation - perhaps military experience and knowledge.
Forbes said it best - the U.S. military is not regulated by societal values or the lack thereof.
The responsibility of the U.S. military is to serve and protect the interests of the United States, chiefly against threats from potential enemies. Our elected representatives need to guarantee the best possible method to allow our men and women in the military to accomplish this objective.

Taxation News
The Chancellor's Autumn Statement - 5 December 2012
14th December 2012
Chancellor George Osborne delivered his Autumn statement on 5 December 2012 and, at EQ Taxation, we have prepared a summary of the main announcements. Given the pre-publicity, it was not surprising that the Chancellor focused on tax avoidance and what he intended to do about it, in particular confirming the introduction of the General Anti Abuse Rule (GAAR) in April 2013.
At EQ Taxation, we support responsible and commercial tax planning which is being undertaken by hard working, honest business people and in our view, the GAAR makes little difference to what we do. Head of EQ Taxation, David Morrison, commented "there were no major surprises in this interim statement but perhaps this was a statement of intent for measures to come. At EQ, we concentrate on robust, commercial tax advice and therefore take the view that our clients carry little risk in this regard as long as HMRC focus their efforts on the right people."
Finally, there were some interesting proposals regarding the taxation rules for the small unincorporated businesses (including a flat rate for certain expenses and a cash basis for computing profits) together with some very good news in the continuing reduction of corporation tax rates plus a 2 year extension of the Annual Investment Allowance from 1 January 2013 with the annual limit being raised to £250,000. On the reverse side, the reduction of pension tax reliefs both in the annual contribution to the scheme and the lifetime allowance limit does give some cause for concern to our clients, and of course their advisers.
As ever, a mixed bag but plenty to ponder. Please download a copy of our Autumn Statement summary here and Tax Rates Summary here.

Tablets and Magazines: A Match Made in Heaven

This week, Compete's parent company, Kantar Media, published a great set of insights specific to magazine publishing and tablets (with a naturally heavy leaning on the iPad) – so we thought we'd share.
You can download the whole piece here, but I thought I'd pull out what I found most interesting: most of the advertising in the app are the same ads as the print magazine. This highlights, for me, a major weakness in the approach the magazines are taking to building these apps. Namely, that they are seeking to utilize the print version of their magazine as the basis for their app. It's understandable why they do this – it is the fastest way to publish to tablets. But it also creates an undifferentiated experience for the consumer.
As more and more people use tablets, magazine publishers should rethink this equation and figure out that they can create a much more interactive experience for tablet readers. That should include, specifically, a new way to look at advertising. So rather than bundling tablet ads as part of a traditional print media advertising buy, they should look at new ways to create interactive ad experiences that will attract the attention of consumers. This is also a potentially great revenue opportunity for them as they should be able to charge higher rates when this type of advertising creates richer interactions with consumers.
What do you think? Are magazines missing the boat with their current approach to apps and advertising? Let us know in the comments!

You should at least be able to read what you are voting for.
Not sure what that has to do with skin color, Robbie?
The ones that are happy ( black or white ) are the ones that are sitting on their backsides with their hand stuck out, laughing at the poor working slobs who are feeding them.
I assure you it's not remotely near "all americans"
You hit the nail on the head.
I heard that Mitch McConnell is going to change his name to Mitcho McConnellez.
What does "racial entitlement" mean? In general and particularly concerning voting rights? What exactly is the problem?
A black man has obtained the highest office in the land.
There are black men and women mayors of major cities now covered by the VRA.
Remember the 14th Amendment: "…equal protection under the law."
It is now time to decide.
Do I want and get special treatment due to race?
Do I move forward, stand on my own and step out of the shadow of protectionism. If I clinging to the Voting Rights Act I will never be allowed "equal protection under the law."
As long as there is protectionism, quotas, set-asides and the VRA, then someone will always be suspicion that I did not make it on merit alone, I got special treatment.
Special treatment to vote? That I don't understand.
That would guarantee the demise of the Republican party.
on the contrary it would be the demise of the Dem party.. idg it
Impediments to registration, photo ID laws, shortened hours of voting, fewer places to vote, etc. Many tactics declared unconstituional by lower court judges. And you know what, Obama was reelected anyway.
It indeed is NOT just about "race" with the "tests" dreamed up, and it is a national issue, not just a few states or precincts. Of course, if folks had to answer say 5 questions from the naturalization test to vote, allowed to miss one, 90% of TEA party folks wouldn't be voting, and right-wing "conservatives" and "dittoheads" wouldn't even need to waste the gas to show up. I love it when Rush touts his Constitution course, apparently conducted by folks like himself, who've never read it, but only accepted their own "interpretation".
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
David Horsey draws some great cartoons.
Right, no Democrats work for a living. Right.

Western Poison-oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) is found at elevations below around 1650 m in westernmost North America from British Columbia (Canada) to Baja California (Mexico), including the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada. It may grow as a shrub (sometimes tree-like), 0.5 to 4 m tall, or (when externally supported) as a vine more than 30 m long--or any form in between (Gartner 1991a,b). The (typically) 3-leafleted leaves turn bright red in autumn. Poison-oak and its close relatives are well-known for possessing skin-irritating oil (urushiol), which can cause severe allergic reactions in humans.
The taxonomy and nomenclature of North American Toxicodendron has been in flux for over a century, largely due to confusing within-species variation in growth form, leaf and leaflet shape, and other features (e.g., Gillis 1971; Gartner 1991). This has resulted in an abundance of synonyms, but five species are now generally recognized: Common Poison-ivy (T. radicans), Western Poison-ivy (T. rydbergii), Eastern Poison-oak (T. pubescens), Western Poison-oak (T. diversilobum), and Poison-sumac (T. vernix) (Senchina 2006).
Senchina (2008) reviewed the literature on animal and fungal associates of Toxicodendron in North America with a particular eye toward identifying potential biological control agents. Interest in finding new ways to control poison-oak and its relatives may increase in coming years given data suggesting that these plants may become more abundant and more ''toxic'' in the future, potentially affecting global forest dynamics and human health (Mohan et al. 2006).

Upgrade your drivetrain
Complete kits ready to install
No need to try to fix that ageing 3 or 4 speed transmission
Looking to
upgrade your driving experience in your early Ford with a inline-6
cylinder motor? Consider Modern Driveline's complete range of options
for adding a five speed as your solution. All parts from the
back of the engine to the differential are available. Many
different clutch configurations are available depending on driving
style and power level.
What makes it all
possible are adapter plates between the bell housing and
transmission. The most common transmission is the 2.77 3
speed behind a 6 cyl. We custom designed a adapter to
convert the the bolt patterns and space the transmission to
accommodate the different input shaft of the T5. To
understand exactly what you have, consult our articles on
Bell Housing Identification and the
Match-up of bells, flywheels and starters.
Our custom T5 with the
shifter moved forward from the standard position is the ideal
solution for Falcons. This change positions the shifter in
the correct location. A standard T5 positions the shifter
back against a bench seat or between bucket seats resulting in a
very uncomfortable shift position ( not to mention the required
changes to the floor support to clear the shifter).
Early 6 cyl motors used
the 8.5" deep dish flywheel and clutch sets. We have
specific clutch configurations for the T5 with the 8.5" clutch.
Later years switched to the 9'' clutch. Again, Modern
Driveline developed clutch configurations for the T5.

Here are five players who should reject a move during the January transfer window in order to stay with their current clubs.
Sometimes forcing a transfer away in January isn't in a player's best career interest. Afonso Alves shouldn't have upped his wages to move to Middlesbrough.
With the benefit of hindsight, we now see that it destroyed his chances of becoming an elite forward.
Theo Walcott won't be included on the list because he should leave. Same goes with Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Fernando Llorente and Yann M'Vila.

|Pop %

Young people remain one of the most receptive groups to loving and culturally relevant witness. Pray especially for:
a) Teaching of religious knowledge in schools, in the several hundred Christian schools and in public schools that invite this input. Increasingly, restrictions prevent teachers and evangelists from sharing the gospel in the public school context. Pray for freedom to witness in schools and for gifted people who focus on this ministry.
b) Children's and youth programmes in churches. Since Hungary opened up, denominational and parachurch youth associations, such as YMCA, Awana, CEF, Dunamisz and others, have grown in scale and impact. Large-scale youth conventions are proving attractive. Foreign mission groups contribute much in this area of ministry.
c) University students, who are open to most spiritual influences, both healthy and unhealthy. Nationally led international ministries such as CCCI, MEKDsz(IFES) and YFC continue to grow in size and impact. But with over 200,000 university and college students in Hungary, the majority have no contact with a Christian group.
d) Summer outreach programmes by many Hungarian churches and by Barnabas Csoport, The Bible League and OM train scores of young people from various denominations to participate in evangelism and follow-up work.
The less-reached:
a) The Jews. Before the Holocaust, there were 800,000. Now their numbers are 90,000 which is still Eastern Europes largest concentration of Jews outside of Russia. There are several Messianic Jewish communities. Pray for a reconciliation between Christians and Jews.
b) The Romani (Gypsy) community, Hungarys largest minority and most certainly its most socially and economically disadvantaged. This group has not seen the same spiritual breakthrough as have the Romani in Spain, France and Romania, but several new Protestant and charismatic fellowships are among them. Also, a number of agencies are attempting to meet their social and spiritual needs and, increasingly, ethnic Hungarians are gaining a burden to show the love of Christ to this needy people in both spiritual and practical ways.
c) The homeless who are concentrated in Budapest and number as many as 30,000 face very difficult living conditions. Pray for the ministries of churches and missions that seek to reach out to them; pray for the establishment of Christian facilities that can care for them and demonstrate the gospel in real ways.
d) The many immigrant peoples who make Hungary their home. These include mostly the various Slavic peoples, Chinese and others. Most have a better chance to encounter the gospel in Hungary than in their own nation.
e) Hungarians abroad. Concerns remain about discrimination against Hungarian ethnic minorities in Serb-controlled Vojvodina, Romanian Transylvania and southern Slovakia all remnants of Greater Hungary. Pray for reconciliation between these minorities and the various national majorities, and pray for Hungarian Christians to reach out to their own who live abroad.
For an additional 8 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
The Operation World book, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM provide far more information and fuel for prayer for the people of Hungary.

Meghan King, a pioneer for high school softball in the Texas Panhandle, has some advice for those who want to follow.
"I just hope girls up here will realize they need to play summer ball," the former Dumas High School pitcher said Thursday. "That's when you get scouted for college scholarship offers. During the high school season (in the spring), the college coaches can't look at you because they're playing their seasons at the same time."
King knows first hand. She is the first Panhandle-area player chosen for the Texas Girls Coaches Association all-star softball game - she'll play for the West in Tuesday's 6:30 p.m. game at McCombs Field in Austin. King also is one of the first area players to receive a college scholarship in softball. Panhandle-area schools have had varsity softball programs for only two or three years.
King, a pitcher with a 26-10 record and a 0.46 earned run average during her senior season for Dumas, accepted a scholarship offer from Texas A&M-Kingsville, an NCAA Division II university.
"The Kingsville coach (Brady Tigert) first saw me pitch in a fall ball tournament," King said. "He asked my dad (Jimmy King) who I had signed with, but it was still before my junior year at Dumas.
"So we kept in touch. I sent him (Tigert) my resume, and he sent me back a letter. The next summer he wanted to know where I was playing. He came and watched me pitch, and then flew me down there (Kingsville) in November and offered me a scholarship."
King played summer ball with a team from Midland.
She wasn't able to practice with the team, but met her teammates for tournaments in places such as Austin, Beaumont, New Mexico, Oklahoma and even Las Vegas.
"I've played summer ball since I was about 14," King said. "I started playing fall ball about three years ago. Then we had the high school season in the spring."
King, after finishing the 2000 Dumas season with 205 strikeouts and only 19 walks, has taken off from playing since graduating from high school. But her summer schedule is about to intensify. In addition to Tuesday's Coaches Association all-star game, King will join players from Borger, Pampa and Amarillo for an all-star tournament July 17-24 in Hawaii.
For the Coaches Association all-star game, King was selected to play left field, a position she hadn't played in four years.
"I've been working really hard on playing the outfield again," she said. "My dad has been hitting fly balls to me, and I'm working on how to judge the ball and which way to turn when the ball is hit."
Given her experience as a pitcher, hitting the cutoff man or throwing to a base shouldn't be a problem.
"She was picked as a left fielder, I'm sure, so they could get her on the team somewhere," Dumas softball coach Jack Wilson said of King. "She usually played third base for us when she wasn't pitching.
"She'll do great. She's a good athlete and can do just about anything. She played basketball and volleyball until her senior year. She's got a good arm and she can catch fly balls. She's way ahead of everyone else in this area because she has played club ball forever.
"She could play catcher, shortstop or the outfield."
King is one of only two Class 4A players on the West roster. Eight of team's 12 players are from 5A schools.
Wilson, who has coached Dumas' softball team since the program began at the junior-varsity level four years ago, thinks the Panhandle won't have to wait long for more all-star selections to follow King.
"I think it'll be just like volleyball and basketball, where we for sure hold our own," the former Dumas volleyball coach said. "It'll be the same way in softball, with the way the teams here have improved and as serious as this area takes girls sports.
"Every year the improvement has been amazing. The Amarillo schools have improved by leaps and bounds. They've spent a lot of time playing summer ball, you can tell."

The secret to a happy marriage, as described by sage sex therapist Esther Perel.
Esther Perel looks like the New York couples therapist from Central Casting. Married for a zillion years, mother of two, trim as an arrow—if you have to talk to a stranger about your sex life, she'll do just fine.
And she's got pop credentials: Her recent book, Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic & The Domestic, got warm reviews. But woe be to couples who bring her their problems without reading her first. They ask: If novelty is the key to hot sex, doesn't monogamy kill it? Can a Mom who starts her day packing Cheerios in a lunchbox become a vixen at night? Why doesn't intimacy guarantee good sex? Then come the surprises, for Perel's approach to couples therapy is light years from Dr. Phil's. Jesse Kornbluth asked her the questions that a new client might.
JK: Bill Maher says that when you're married, you need a cue to have sex.
EP: There is no sex without a cue. People who date have their cues at home, before they meet. You think about where to go, what to eat, what to do and say. Sometimes the cue is short—just before we reach the bar—but sex is never just spontaneous. Spontaneity is a myth.

Split-track CD/Cassette playback
I thought I would see what other techs were doing with split-tracks.
How do you handle the signal on a stereo board and with aux sends.
On our mono boards its simple just unplug the vocal side, except when the choir director ask for just a little bit of vocal for guidance for the choir. Horizon makes a box for this that has a volume control for each channel and converts the signal to a mic. level.
For stereo I had to build my own box with the volume controls and a switch to switch the signal to mono to get it to mono, it stays line level.
Your Turn,
Let it rip

We have a TT24. Control Pan moves the Pan to dead center, we mute the vocal track (Auxes post mute) and away we go. When we're done with the split track, pan hard left/right-unmute, and off we go again. Want vocal in monitor, but not main - unassign the offending channel from the mains.
Cory Champion - Fortress Productions
Technical Director - Cambria Baptist Church
We run the CD and tape decks into 2 channels (each) and just control them separately. That way, they can practice with the track, if needed and then we can take it out.
Or with the kids, we sometimes leave the vocal track in the monitor, but take it out of FOH.
Joel Osborn
Milton SDB Church
"...if we are to glorify God fully, we must engage our mind in knowing him truly and our hearts in loving him duly." - John Piper, Think
I unplug the CD/Tape player from the stereo channel and usually just plug the instrument track into a mono channel...or you could do as suggested above and plug it into two mono channels one for voices and one for instruments.
Azalea Baptist Church
We also bring the left and right signals into separate mixer channels... BUT with a twist:
We use a stereo submixer (an Ashly LX308b) where ALL of our stereo sources are first run to (CD, Cassette, Computer, DVD, & VCR).
The LX308b has 3 outputs, Left, Right, & Mono, that we run into our main sound console, thus using 3 input channels.
For typical, non-split, tracks we use the Mono input channel and mute the Left & Right.
For split tracks, we just mute the Mono channel and control the Left and Right channels independently just like most others above.
This setup has some great benefits:
1.) The single Mono channel makes it easy to use for typical (non-split) tracks.
2.) Up to 8 stereo sources consume only 3 channels on the sound board! As opposed to 8-16 channels.
3.) Easy to manipulate split tracks (include vocals in monitor mixes, maybe some vocals in foh, etc)
Disadvantages to my submixer setup:
1.) Cross fading between sources is difficult or not practical. You need to operate the faders on the submixer to do this. THis is not a problem for us as we never do this.
2.) Need to be careful about unexpected audio from things like DVD players. For instance, if you are playing a CD and getting a DVD cued up, the DVD may have audio in the menus and such that gets mixed in.
3.) This setup is best for mono foh systems.
We do the same thing as Ron posted above, except that we have another pair of channels that control whatever originates from the projection booth. CD's originate in the Sound booth, DVD's, and whatever comes from the computers originates in the projection booth. Same thought process behind both.
I think we do the same thing (note the only time we really do this is for VBS)
we bring the track into 2 diffrent channels
This way i can control the volcal track
Ill Set the aux 1 feed to around 5 (for stage monitors) and aux 2 feed (recording feed) to around 1 or 2 (just a hint of the recorded kids vocals)
The house slider goes to around -15(sometimes a little higher at the start of the week for new songs)
by the end of the week just a touch or none at all
We call this a confidence mix
Good replies. The 2 channel way is good if you have the extra channels. Our board has 21/22, 23/24 as stereo (on one fader) kinda limits us on tying up mono channels for music.
I guess it goes back to what ever you have, and what ever you can make work.
I will have another post soon on another subject. My reason for coming up with these post is, hopefully we can help some "not so talented" become more talented. You never know when somebody may read about a different way or new way of bettering (is that a word) the sound.

IBM Gets Down to Social Business
Published: January 16, 2012
by Jenny Thomas
I'm just as sick of hearing the words "social business" as anyone else. But I have come to accept there's no escaping it so I better figure out how to adapt or risk becoming a social outcast. IBM must also have decided it had better get on this bus, as Big Blue recently announced it is expanding its initiatives to help organizations get on board with the hottest computing trend.
If all the talk is right, there is a lot of business to be had in the social market. Forrester Research recently reported that the market opportunity for social enterprise apps is expected to grow at a rate of 61 percent through 2016, reaching $6.4 billion, compared with $600 million in 2011. That prediction seems on trend with the reporting IT Jungle has been doing on social business and media trends inside and outside of the IBM i platform. People chat endlessly about the possibilities for the future of social business. The real trick in the here and now is understanding how to utilize social business to most benefit your organization.
According to IBM, a successful social business must combine "the use of social technologies with a business culture that promotes transparency, trust, and information sharing among the workforce." That sounds good. But it gets complicated quickly when you start thinking about developing social policies and how to connect all those social technologies to business processes.
"The opportunity to transform into a social business can be stunted without a focus on engagement, culture change, and policy," said Alistair Rennie, general manager of social business at IBM. "Social technologies, when combined with the right skills and culture, can truly unlock the potential of people within the organization to collaborate, innovate, make smarter business decisions, and ultimately drive their bottom line."
IBM's plan is to offer support to its clients and business partners interested in adopting social networking capabilities to transform their business operations. This includes:
IBM also announced a partnerships with The Dachis Group, a company that specializes in the design, development, management, and measurement of social business performance, and Group Business System, a business partner, to help IBM clients convert Lotus Notes applications into applications accessible on the Web or via mobile devices.
The real trailblazers in the social medium are not necessarily the techies, and IBM is savvy enough to realize it's the kids who tend to adapt fastest to new technology. So, in conjunction with San Jose State University, IBM has created a new academic program to help students turn their social networking know-how into business ready skills to prepare for the jobs of the future.
Students will have the opportunity to assess the social networking capabilities of an IBM business partner organization as a way of learning about the characteristics of a social business. Students will be mentored by IBM experts and learn about internal and external use of social business solutions.

Retail Container Traffic to Increase Double Digits This Month
April 7, 2011-- Home Textiles Today,
WASHINGTON - Import cargo volume at the nation's major retail container ports is expected to be up 11% in March over the same month last year, said the monthly Global Port Tracker report released by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.
"These numbers show solid increases over last year and are evidence that our nation's economic recovery is continuing to build momentum," said Jonathan Gold, NRF vp for supply chain and customs policy. "Increases in imports are a clear sign that retailers expect sales to continue to climb in the next several months."
U.S. ports followed by Global Port Tracker handled 1.2 million TEU - or twenty-foot equivalent units - in January, the latest month for which actual numbers are available. That represented a 5% increase from December and up 12% from January 2010.
In addition, it was the 14th consecutive month reflecting a yearover- year improvement after December 2009 broke a 28-month streak of year-over-year declines.
One TEU is one 20-foot cargo container or its equivalent.
February, traditionally the slowest month of the year, was estimated at 1.12 million TEU, which translates to a 12% increase over February 2010. March is forecast at 1.19 million TEU, up 11% from a year ago; April at 1.24 million TEU, up 9%; May at 1.32 million TEU, up 5%; June at 1.39 million TEU, up 5%; and July at 1.45 million TEU, up 5%.
The first half of 2011 is forecast at 7.5 million TEU, a 9% gain from the first half of 2010. For the full year, 2010 totaled 14.7 million TEU, a 16% increase from 2009. Last year's percentages were high because 2009's 12.7 million TEU was the lowest level seen since 2003.
But the recent political turmoil in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and elsewhere is driving up oil prices and will likely increase shipping costs, warned Hackett Associates founder Ben Hackett.
"Oil supply is going down as a number of nations have dropped out of the production cycle," he explained. "Freight rates have been decreasing but that will not last long as fuel costs are factored in."
Global Port Tracker, which is produced for NRF by the consulting firm Hackett Associates, covers the U.S. ports of Long Angeles/ Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma on the West Coast; New York/New Jersey, Hampton Roads, Charleston and Savannah on the East Coast; and Houston on the Gulf Coast.

Pieter Cramer, a rich eighteenth century wool merchant used his wealth to indulge his collecting obsession. He adored colourful butterflies and moths that had been collected from around the world and engaged the artist Gerrit Wartenaar Lambertz (fl. 1775) to draw his fine collection.
Over the centuries his highly prized specimens have mostly
perished drawings of them survive as a record of his amazing

C'est le jeudi 20 Août, que Nicolas Charmont a réalisé le premier vol de son BD-5J...
In 1996, Williams teamed with NASA to develop a smaller and lighte turbofan engine—the FJX-2—for general aviation. The General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program is part of NASA's Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) program—a joint NASA/industry venture to revitalize general aviation. AGATE was born at the 1992 Oshkosh convention.
Image Nasa : The FJX-2 turbofan engine in Glenn's Propulsion Systems Lab (PSL) altitude test chamber.
The FJX-2 is a high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine that produces 700 pounds of thrust, yet weighs only 85-100 pounds, about one-fourth the weight of piston engine propulsion systems with similar capabilities. To keep costs low, the FJX-2 team applied many lessons learned from research of automotive gas turbine engines. Emphasis was placed on simplifying design and reducing the number of parts. Low-cost design techniques and advanced automated manufacturing methods have led to the first turbine engine that is cost competitive with piston engines. While not as fuel efficient as today's comparable piston-powered aircraft, new turbofan jets will have equivalent or lower takeoff-to-landing fuel consumption.

- Intro: A sailor has a strange reaction to fruit
The Further Adventures of French Sailor
Steven Hunley
French Sailor was told by his doctors to give up spinach and told to eat plenty of fruit. He does. He eats bananas, tangerines, papayas, mangoes, limes and lemons. Tropical fruit. South of the Border fruit. It is almost December so the fruit is from Mexico, Chile, and Brazil. Again, fool that French Sailor is, he eats too much. He has a strange desire to wrap a napkin around his head, which he does at once. In it he places a banana, then one baby lime and one baby lemon for color. Then, for some odd reason, he puts on his mom's lipstick, going over his natural lip line to widen and accentuate his lips. He looks in the mirror.
"Mon Dieu!" exclaims French Sailor.
French Sailor can no longer paint between the lines! When he realizes what he has done he says,
"Sacre blue," a typical French expression in a situation such as this you have to admit.
Then he piles more fruit on his head and wraps a red towel around his butt and ties it in a knot near his hip."Boom chicky-boom-chick," he says to the mirror, though I don't know why I'm sure. He goes outside and joins an incredibly long conga line extending from his house to Hollywood, a distance of 3,353 miles, (or 5, 396 kilometers for our intrepid Frenchman) When Lucy, who was in the same line complained about her sore feet, Ricky replies,
"Stop crying Honey, what are a few extra steps when you're dancing the conga?"
He dances there nonstop to a beat provided by Xavier Cugat, playing Chiquita Banana, setting a record and getting a passing mention in the Guinness Book of World Records. In Hollywood he is touted as the "Brazilian Bombshell" though in reality he is a French sailorman, not sailorwoman. He becomes neurotic trying to decide which persona to use, but patriotism wins out and he returns to Quebec.
"Vive La France," he was reported to have said when he left, his Gaulic nose quite prominent. It seems he gave up fame and fortune to live a simpler life.
When he finally got interviewed by Walter Cronkite, and Walter asked him why he did it, the translation was this: "A sailor's life is the life for me." Though it may be pointed out, one can never fully trust a translation, they sometimes are, like life itself, full of misunderstandings and confusion. He understands this. For such is the life of French Sailor.

From Slogans to Mantras, by Stephen A. Kent
Historians have generally avoided the topic of religion in the 1960s, while sociologists often treat religion with charts and graphs but with curiously little understanding of what it's like actually to believe in God. From Slogans to Mantras makes the typical secular assumptions--Stephen A. Kent never considers that religion might occasionally stumble onto the truth--but it has a concise, lucid argument: "The combined experience of growing frustration over the perceived failure of political and countercultural protests to end the Vietnam War was the predisposing factor for the massive youth religious conversions that took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s." As young people saw that rallies would neither end the war nor topple the capitalist power structure, they turned to religion to achieve those goals.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Audio: Lands & Peoples - Record Release this Friday!!!
This Friday is the record release show for Lands & Peoples. These guys are amongst my absolute favorite locals, and I am certain the new album will be amazing. The show is at the Soft House and you ought to go. The last time I recorded these guys was last year in August at the Metro Gallery, and I uploaded a video from the show and posted it on this here blog. Originally I opted not to upload the audio of the whole show simply because I missed the first two minutes, and I like to be a completist. It is a shame I missed those couple minutes, because Chase O'Hara and Amy Reid (formerly of INEVERYROOM) accompanied Beau Cole and Caleb Moore on an improv that was really wild sounding. You still get the last few minutes of that track. Since then I've found myself listening to the set on my own, so if I enjoy it, chances are you may as well. These are familiar songs which were the core of their live set for most of 2011 and I assume will be on the new album as well, but every one is great. Get psyched for the show now, and go on Friday!

Fresh from another galaxy, the 3rd Rock Arcade opened on Monday on Main Street.
Inside, against the black background, are the fluorescent neon colors of the moon, planets, stars and space ships that come to life under the black lights. Video game screens flash the latest high scorers and cuts from the latest rock cd fill the air.
Designed as a kid's space, the arcade features more than 15 video games and mainline favorites such as StreetFever basketball.
"We wanted to have a business that was for kids," said Shawnda Howe, who with her husband, Mathew Howe, have opened the arcade. "There's really nothing for kids to do here. We wanted to provide a place where they could come and hang out."
The couple began transforming their rented space in July. And it's also become a family enterprise, with Wanda Campbell, Howe's mother, and her in-laws, Pat and Corkey Howe, pitching in to help decorate.
The games come from Amarillo and Albuquerque, with an additional five coming any day. There's also a snack bar, where soft drinks and chips and candy are sold.
Howe said the space was once a clothing store, and six fitting rooms have been adapted so that each is now a slot for a video game.
"My husband and son really love video games," she said, adding that they routinely visit video arcades outside of Tucumcari. Some of the games include TrophyHunting, a big game experience, and OffRoad Thunder, an auto racing game that includes a car seat that gives the game player the sensation of racing.
Over the weekend the arcade went through a test run from the youth group at Howe's church, First Assembly of God, she said.
The kids approved, Howe said, adding that one of the things that the kids thought was cool was the arcade's bathroom. Inside the bathroom, graffiti is encouraged and there are sticks of street chalk so that the kids can draw or sign their names on the black walls.
Most of the games cost 50 cents. A game of pool is a $1 and air hockey is 75 cents.
The arcade is open from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday to Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

CHICAGO, IL (August 10, 2009) – Sr. M. Paul McCaughey, O.P., Superintendent of Catholic Schools, announced today that the new Academy of St. Priscilla will open its doors at Divine Savior Parish, 7740 W. Montrose Avenue in Norridge, on September 2, 2009. The Academy will provide 3-through 8-year-olds a Catholic faith-based education using the teaching methods of Differentiated Instruction and Project-Based Learning in a Montessori approach.
The Academy of St. Priscilla at Divine Savior will be the first school in the Archdiocese of Chicago to solely use these teaching methods, with the focus primarily on Early Childhood Catholic Education. Here the children will not only receive a quality faith-based education, but an education tailored to meet the needs of all students.
"The Academy of St. Priscilla Board of Specified Jurisdiction worked tirelessly the past eight months to serve the mission of Catholic education," remarked Sr. McCaughey. "The Academy's Director, Jennifer Hodge, herself a St. Priscilla grad, brings a thorough knowledge of the curriculum and high energy to the new school. We are grateful to Bishop Thomas Paprocki and Fr. Richard LoBianco for opening up a site, which will be student-ready for the start of the school year."
"This will be a wonderful opportunity for our children to truly excel and become proficient in various content areas," said Ms. Hodge. "Our children will also have the use of laptops in the classrooms, which will aide in recognizing the variance in learning styles of the children. I am delighted to be apart of the new Academy for the Archdiocese of Chicago. The school has been transformed into an academic center of faith-based education for our early childhood students."
"The opportunity these children will have in a hands-on environment will make a huge difference in their overall learning," said Tanya Boyle, pre-kindergarten teacher. "Not all children learn in the same way, and a learning environment such as ours is sensitive to that. Children will have a higher chance of success in a differentiated, instruction-based classroom."
The decision to locate the Academy at Divine Savior Parish comes while construction for capital and leasehold improvements are being conducted at St. Priscilla Parish. The Academy's Board of Specified Jurisdiction plans to work throughout the course of the school year with St. Priscilla pastor Fr. Idzi Stacherczak to determine the best uses of the school building at St. Priscilla Parish.
When the Academy of St. Priscilla opens on September 2, it will welcome children ages three to eight, from 3-year-old preschool through second grade. Applications are still being accepted. For more information, please contact Jennifer Hodge, firstname.lastname@example.com.
