A+E (which launched the TV career of Criss Angel) wanted another magic series. Producers Joke Fincioen and Biagio Messina (known professionally as Joke and Biagio) wanted to do a reality show about revenge. Andrew Mayne, a magician and illusion inventor, was looking for an unscripted series that could showcase his skills in another way.
Aligning these goals produced a twist on established, but disparate reality genres: "How'd he do that?" street magic, dissonant couples, pranking, and melodrama. The result, Don't Trust Andrew Mayne, premiering Jan. 13, is a funny revenge show that uses magical hijinks to tell stories and resolve differences while wowing viewers. In the pilot, Mayne helps a wife get back at her husband for reneging on a promise to ditch his motorcycle after they married—by making his beloved bike vanish in mid-air.
"Sometimes you need a third party to hold up a mirror to a relationship," says Biagio. "We do that with a funhouse mirror."
Tweaking the brand
Mayne's brand employs the same misdirection as his magic. He comes across more as an impish guy-next-door than calculating trickster, making his antics—like the video below, where he makes an iPhone photo of someone's car vanish, then has him turn around to see his car gone for real—even more unexpected. "Then the story becomes about the passersby and how they react to the trick," says Joke.
Mayne's style of "shock magic" has been his M.O. since his teens, when he began playing nightclubs and working as a production assistant for David Copperfield. It later informed his work as a performer, bestselling author, TV producer, and illusion inventor for Penn & Teller and David Blaine. But finding a use for his mischief is new.
"I'd starred in two pilots for other networks prior to doing this show with Joke and Biagio," says Mayne. "In both of those I was playing my magic pranks on unsuspecting people. What really sets this show apart is the story element and using magic to help people get back at someone in a playful way. I've always been a prankster. This was the first time I had a purpose! That's what happens when you work with great storytellers."
But the need to redefine the image of both performer and show wasn't so readily apparent. Mayne and his producing partner, Mary Jaras, had honed his initial brand of mischievous magic while producing two cable reality TV pilots in 2007 and 2010 that starred Mayne, but weren't picked up. (Mayne and Jaras also produced G4 Underground, a 2009 newsmagazine about counterculture starring Morgan Webb, for the now-defunct gaming network G4.)
Then in 2012, Joke and Biagio met with A+E to gauge interest in a show about revenge—specifically, people getting even with folks who'd done them wrong, but in a more playful way. A+E, whose successful street magic show, Criss Angel: Mindfreak, ended in 2010, countered with an interest in revisiting that world.
"We realized what a cool device magic could be in getting even—you're not ruining lives, but you're making a point," says Joke.
Building on a foundation
Joke and Biagio called Mayne and Jaras, who'd partnered with them in 2009 on a competition reality show they'd developed and eventually sold to a studio, but didn't air. They knew Mayne's magic background and seen his performance personality in action in pitch meetings, where he'd occasionally wow executives with impromptu tricks. The quartet spent several months brainstorming concepts and tone for a story-driven magic show and Mayne's place in it.
"It was a real partnership," says Jaras. "What was nice about Joke and Biagio was, they didn't try to take over. They built upon the foundation we had created and respected the unique challenges of magic. Producing magic is different than producing anything else, because you have to show the trick without revealing how it's done, and maintain the element of surprise. You have to set up a framework in which spontaneity can happen."
Mayne's real-life antics inspired some of the magic bits that break up each episode's main story arc. "The mischievousness came from him," says Biagio. "He told us a story of how he pranked a childhood friend by putting his bike 20 feet up in a tree."
Counters Mayne, "That was my friend's little brother. Whenever he was annoying, I would tell him the tree ate his bike. And there it would be, up in the branches."
A variant of that trick made it on-camera—with Mayne helpfully "locking" people's bikes by putting the front wheel through the bike rack bar.
Fresh Spin
Joke and Biagio wanted a fresh take on magic, which usually focused on the larger-than-life personalities of magicians. And they needed to find a way to work Mayne's more accessible, subtle presence organically into the stories.
"The task became, how do you use mischief and magic in a positive ways to help someone?" says Mayne. "How does a magic trick get to the source of a problem in a relationship and make it apparent to the person causing it?
"I can play the 'Showman' on stage or in front of a big group," he continues. "But here, most of the scenes involve just me, the person I'm doing the trick for, and the viewer watching at home, so I have to dial that down. It's about finding the right balance of interacting with the person so as not to put them off, but still remain interesting enough for the viewers to stick around."
"The difference between this show and what's been done before is, often the people magicians performed for have been faceless, nameless people," Mayne adds. "Here, they're an integral part of the episodes. So it becomes less about my personality filling the whole 30 minutes, and more about the story of what happens to these people."
"Andrew can be subtle," says Joke. "He comes across like an everyday dude, that mischievous older brother messing with you. But that asset was more relatable than what you think of as a typical magician. He's unsuspecting and disarming, then he steels your wallet. It's in the cutest way possible—but he steals your wallet."
Getting out of the way
Biago believes Mayne's time spent behind the scenes, as a producer and illusion creator, enabled him to reduce his time on-camera in favor of a bigger payoff. "He gets the bigger picture," says Biagio. "He was never afraid to get out of the way of a story or illusion, as opposed to a performer who needs to suck up every second of screen time."
There was one minor ego quirk that everyone indulged: Mayne's determination to use his own tricks. In fact, he created more than 100 new effects for this series. "I'm a magic creator and I don't want to do other people's tricks," Mayne laughs. "These aren't something you'd see in a magic shop. I actively avoided tricks that had been done before. There are 13 episodes and not a single card trick in the entire series!"
Joke and Biagio talk more about their development strategy in this podcast. They'll all be live-tweeting during the episodes at @AndrewMayne, @JokeandBiagio, and @M_J.

New Headstone for an Old Grave
This story ends with a new headstone for Jerome Moletto, but it started with a simple request: "blow grandpa a kiss when you drive by".
That's what Moletto's daughter asked Sharon Addison to do when she moved to Watertown to become city manager.
The two had been friends in Maryland and when Moletto heard about Addison's move, she had to ask her pal to look for her grandfather's Watertown grave, even though Moletto had never seen it.
And when Addison looked, she couldn't find the grave either. So Addison called Kathy Plante-Hunt who manages the Arsenal Street Cemetery in Watertown. Plante-Hunt searched for months until she found it.
"It feels very good to make a difference in the lives of these people and have everything come full circle with the family," said Plante-Hunt.
It's been 91 years since Jerome was buried at the cemetery. At the time, his loved ones couldn't afford to bury him with a headstone but Moletto was not forgotten. The family, who traveled from Maryland and around the tri-State area, bought Moletto a headstone and then gave him a memorial service.
"It's beautiful I never knew him but it's nice to know that he looks loved and he gave a lot of love," said Darlene Striano.
The present for Jerome , a new headstone, but the family had a present too, standing together to honor Jerome Moletto , a man they say was filled with love.

HMRC have suffered another setback in their campaign against what they consider to be unjustified tax avoidance in family-owned companies. The First-Tier tribunal found against HMRC relating to an assessment against Mr Patmore of nearly £20'000 of tax on dividends paid to Mrs Patmore from their jointly-owned company. The dividends were immediately credited to Mr Patmore to set against outstanding purchase payments for the company.
While situations varied in individual companies and the amounts and types of shares issued to each party differed, the tribunal judge cited a precedent set in the Arctic Systems case that courts should take "a broad and realistic view" of such arrangements but was of the opinion that in this case HMRC had not done so. The judge ruled that "the tax assessments on Mr Patmore cannot stand".
An HMRC spokesman said the department is considering the judgment carefully before deciding on any further course of action. Such action may depend on the reviews of the taxation of small businesses to be conducted by the new Office for Tax Simplicification who will certainly be examining cases such as these and the uncertainty they cause.
In the meantime, it will be as important as ever for small companies to take the advice of experienced tax professionals when planning income distribution to shareholders.

A friend had introduced me to Swedish Bitters. She uses it often for various ailments & gave me some. I have Lupus an autoimune disease & found that taking the bitters has helped. Also has helped with IBS,irritable bowel syndrome.
This provides instant relief for an upset stomach. It can also provide relief (not instant, at least not in my case), for constipation. Yes, they're bitter, but in a weird way, that's part of the appeal. This tonic feels warm and healing as you swallow it. I'm going to start taking these bitters with me when I travel to ward off any stomach bugs.
Lower alcohol product

I like this product because it is lower alcohol content than a lot of similar herbal mixes. As I am taking it to help heal liver damage, and my liver is unable to tolerate alcohol this is a definite bonus to me.
Seems to work.

The median price for an existing, or previously owned, home rose in 74 of the 146 markets tracked by the National Association of Realtors during the January-to-March period. The trade group, which issued its report Wednesday, said the latest trend represented a significant change from the fourth quarter, when home price rose in just 29 metropolitan areas.
The NAR said the last time prices increased in more markets than decreased was in the fourth quarter of 2010, after a federal tax-credit program for home buyers expired. The credit had temporarily lifted prices and sales, but prices began falling again in early 2011. But excluding the tax-credit period, which some economists argue was an artificial boost, prices haven't risen in so many metro areas since the third quarter of 2007.
Still, the overall national median price for single-family homes sold in the first quarter continued to drift lower and was $158,100, down 0.4% from a year earlier.
The news comes during what many real-estate agents say is shaping up to be the strongest spring selling season in several years as home buyers conclude that prices are at or near a bottom. That has pulled bargain hunters to get off the fence and into the market.
"Houses are starting to sell more quickly than we've seen in the last two or three years," said Nathan Walldorf, an agent with Herman Walldorf & Co. Realtors Inc., in Chattanooga. "I wouldn't call it a seller's market yet, but it could be that we're headed in that direction." According to the NAR report, average prices in Chattanooga were up 1.6%.
The biggest year-over-year price gain of 28.1% was seen in Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., a market severely overbuilt during the boom. Other cities that saw price improvements: Grand Rapids, Mich. was up 19%, Tampa climbed 16.1%, while the Sarasota gained 11.1%. Areas showing the biggest price declines were Kingston, N.Y. , down 22%; Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn., down 18% and Mobile, Ala., down 14.7%. Hard-hit Las Vegas declined 4.8%.
To be sure, median prices can be a misleading measurement because they are affected by the mix of homes available. For example, if investors snap up the bulk of homes selling for $100,000 or less and there are few low-priced homes on the market, that can increase the median price due to a change in the mix of what's selling.
Still, the Realtors are confident the market is healing. In the first quarter, sales of existing homes, which include condos, climbed 5.3% from the prior year to a seasonally adjusted 4.57 million.
Increasing demand has left fewer homes available. At the end of the first quarter, there were 2.37 million homes for sale, down 22% from a year ago, and well below the record 4.04 million seen about five years ago.
Agents say there aren't enough homes to meet demand in some markets including Orange County, Calif., and Phoenix.
"We now have broad shortages of lower priced homes in much of the country," said Lawrence Yun, the NAR's chief economist.

Taylor Swift's Latest Video Debuted In Times Square; Features 'Woodland Creatures'
The official video for Taylor Swift's latest breakup anthem, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," was released late last week, making its debut on MTV's big screen in Times Square, New York City.
The singer tweeted a photo of her big moment, saying the cable network "made my dreams come true."
The song, which debuted at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 also landed the record for highest one-week digital sales total by a female artist with 623,000 downloads.
The catchy tune is featured on Taylor's upcoming album, "Red", due out October 22.
According to Taylor, the entire video was shot in one take, "with one camera, 5 costume changes, and woodland creatures."
The woodland creatures she speaks of are the members of her backing band, who dance around her house while she tells an on-again/off-again boyfriend that it's finally over for good.
Check out the video below; and check out our list of the best angry breakup songs here.

Mago de Oz -- Washington, DC -- May 22nd, 2013
Full Review / Revista completa
Another Expensive show... but I paid for tickets this time. Spain Spanish folk
metal giants Mago de Oz came to DC.
Local opener Metanium (raw classic metal) was alright, they did a decent HELLOWEEN cover.
The only beer sold...initially.. was the Sponsored Heineken...until that sold out! People were rowdy, and there were the biggest folk pits that I have seen (so far), and a luchador in the pit. There were a ton of people there- by far the best attended (somewhat) heavy show at the Howard Theater that I've been to. And the most thrown drinks/cups too.
Mago de Oz sounded GREAT and IMO it was totally worth the wait and the pricey ticket. 9 people on the stage, flute, violin, keys, guitar, girl singer (underutilized, she reminded me of a Spanish Liv from Sister Sin), bass, drummer, new singer. They hit the ground running and never really let up. I was really expecting more ballads, but they played a rockin' set....man.
If you like Folk metal (tho this is not Korpiklanni, this is more of a power / progressive tinge), then this show woulda been golden. Note that both bands only spoke Spanish on the stage and there was no merch for sale (odd). So my rusty language skills only picked up about 1/4 of what they said on stage.
I also read that they got BOOED OFF THE STAGE In NY a previous night, so I wasn't sure if history was going to repeat. Thankfully it didn't!
Metanium (9:30- 10:04)
Mago de Oz (10:35-12:15) (I think a couple songs may be out of order in the middle, but this is mostly accurate)

Why do jade dealers wear dark glasses? No this isn't the start to a bad joke, it's a serious question, with a telling answer. Jade dealers, and poker players alike, aim to hide what they're really thinking and saying by suppressing their body language. Unless wheeling and dealing is your game, it'd be wise to master the basic interpersonal communication skill of body language and be better understood.
93% of what you say remains unsaid
How can this be?
Stereotyping is short-hand decision making on whether you like someone and determines how you much effort you put into the conversation. Your hair colour, clothes, age, ethnicity and other features that don't change during a conversation, all add up to give an overall impression, which may be good or may be bad. The way you look speaks volumes - it's a communication skill in itself. So, start conveying a favourable message by getting your image right.
If it works for chameleons
Stereotypes can work to your advantage – people who wear glasses are more intelligent right? So wear glasses to an interview. And people who wear revealing clothes are only out to find a mate and can't be taken seriously. (A quick expose - a recent study found that ovulating women expose more flesh than at other times in their cycle!). Learn from chameleons and change your appearance to fit your surroundings and your communication will be taken more seriously.
to Eye Contact
Okay, I don't mean intense starting – that's just plain scary – fix your gaze on the bridge of the nose and drop your gaze every now and again. If you're talking in a group, remember to include everyone in the conversation by scanning round and making eye contact with everyone.
and Match
To test your rapport building skills, strike up a conversation with a friend or foe, and see if you can mirror and then lead their movements. Take some time to mirror their body language – if they've got crossed legs, make sure your legs are crossed too. If they are bouncing their leg, maybe tap a pencil in time. Above all, be subtle – it's a delicate dance and no-one likes a partner who stomps over their party shoes.
After some time, do a mini assessment. Maybe scratch your nose – if they follow by touching their face in response, you know you've hit the mirroring jackpot. If not, don't worry, just take some more time to build a deeper rapport.
It ain't what you say
difficult or uncomfortable situations, most people worry about what's
going to come out of their mouth. Truth is, get your body language
right, and you've mastered the most basic interpersonal communication
skill. And the other 7% will take care of itself.

A private collection of material focusing on the never ending joys of the Trimet industrial complex (https://twitter.com/AlYourPalster)
Monday, March 7, 2011
The costs of trying to run the world are unsustainable, and we simply don't have the money. Morally, it is inexcusable for the US to pick sides in such conflicts overseas, no matter how odious either side may be. Financially, it is no longer possible. The 2012 budget request from the administration for "international affairs," which is code for "foreign aid", is two and a half times larger than it was just nine years ago! As our economy shrinks at home, our obligations increase abroad. As our infrastructure crumbles at home, we continue to spend billions expanding infrastructure in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. If the interventionists have their way, no doubt we will be soon pay to reconstruct the infrastructure we destroy in a Libyan military operation. It does not take a genius to see that we are going broke, but Washington remains in denial and intent on business as usual. I fear that if we continue this way we may soon be out of business altogether.
Job posting for the Director of Safety position:http://agency.governmentjobs.
Notice the salary range: $85,986.00 - $128,977.00 Annually
Now go back to Joe Rose's story about Saporta's hire, which is now updated with Mary Fetsch's quote on his salary:
"Saporta will be paid $155,00 annually. He begins work in late March."
So... that's an extra $26k/year they're paying this guy over what was listed as the top of the salary range. What strings were pulled to make that deal happen?
This Time We're Taking the Whole Planet With Us
Civilizations rise, decay and die. Time, as the ancient Greeks argued, for individuals and for states is cyclical. As societies become more complex they become inevitably more precarious. They become increasingly vulnerable. And as they begin to break down there is a strange retreat by a terrified and confused population from reality, an inability to acknowledge the self-evident fragility and impending collapse. The elites at the end speak in phrases and jargon that do not correlate to reality. They retreat into isolated compounds, whether at the court at Versailles, the Forbidden City or modern palatial estates. The elites indulge in unchecked hedonism, the accumulation of vaster wealth and extravagant consumption. They are deaf to the suffering of the masses who are repressed with greater and greater ferocity. Resources are more ruthlessly depleted until they are exhausted. And then the hollowed-out edifice collapses. The Roman and Sumerian empires fell this way. The Mayan elites, after clearing their forests and polluting their streams with silt and acids, retreated backward into primitivism.

A recommendation being overlooked?
A quick observation about today's announcement by TriMet that they're creating a new citizens' safety committee: TriMet says the the new committee was a recommendation of last year's safety task force. This isn't true.
Might as well participate in this process, trinet account holders only.
"Harry is the right person to help make safety the focus throughout our organization and transform the organization's culture where safety is not just a priority but a value," said TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane. "We are very fortunate to have such a gifted and dedicated professional join us."
It is very curious indeed how they actually think that hiring an executive will change a "culture"!
Unless of course this new safety guy plans on spending his days with the rank and file, not in an office talking to other white collar honchos.
The only true way to change a culture is from the minute a new employee walks in the door.
It starts at the screening process, continues with the training, and is nurtured by the management.
So far Trimet has failed at all three levels.

Who needs good health insurance in a job like this?
Seems a little odd that Trimet would hire back the same guy who put together our "unsafe" system doesn't it?

Left-hand Turns and Buses
There is a 2008 federal study that found bus-pedestrian collisions are more than twice as likely to happen during left turns. The danger is so much greater that several transit agencies have eliminated left-hand turns including Des Moines,Iowa and Cleveland, Ohio.

Free-agency periods carry a mixed bag of emotions for Buffalo Bills fans, and the 2013 edition of the free-agent frenzy has many people guessing.
No one expects the high of the Mario Williams signing that shocked the NFL landscape 12 months ago, but there are still plenty of holes to be filled before Buffalo is competing for the playoffs. The Buffalo brass will be primarily looking for linebackers, wide receivers and offensive lineman over the next few days, but surprises have come to be expected in Orchard Park.
A lot has changed since last year's free-agency period, including a new coaching staff and a quasi-reconstruction of the front office hierarchy.
Head coach Doug Marrone dropped the college game for the professional ranks, but he'll be back to recruiting on Tuesday. Only this time, the needs and wants of his prospects will be a bit different.
Fair or not, Marrone will be overscrutinized for every move he makes over the next few days because of the current state of the franchise. The team seems to think it's a few pieces away from making a run at the playoffs, something that has not been done in Buffalo since 1999.
A positive start to a NFL head coach career would be making smart and cost-effective decisions in free agency.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LBLM from Really love the product, but I wish one thing could be improved Overall I don't think I have ever used a better extension pole. I will say that I wish the third section was a little more durable. I was cutting a large limb and it fell and twisted and bent the third section slightly. The pole is still useable, but it doesn't collapse all the way. The weight is abolutely amazing compared to a fiberglass pole.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WVMountaineer from Top of The Line Telescoping Pole This telescoping pole is top of the line. Easy extension and durable and does not wobble or give way when under pressure. You cannot go wrong with Stihl. Stihl products may cost a bit more than the others but you get what you pay for. For quality and long life equipment Stihl is the only brand I buy. Been burned too many times by cheap imitators.

Rated 5 out of 5 by merlin7 from Absolute BEST Pole for Manual Pruning! This PP 800 is a killer telescoping pole: Lightweight and sturdy/strong at the same time. The 18 foot pole is REALLY 18 feet long (not like some other pole makers that calculate in the additional height of the person using it). So, add in about half your height, and you'll actually get a 20' to 22' reach. It's actually a joy to use because it doesn't bend or wobble - you can be very precise with your cutting. I've been through a few other polesaws and this one is a serious professional pole compared to any of the others.To finish your pole system out, get the ** PS 80 Arboriculture Saw attachment, and the ** Pole Pruner Lopper Attachment. The Saw and Lopper are both top notch pro tools as well!Can't be beat. No hesitation - Get it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KP808 from Useful I have gone through several other brands of pole pruners and this one tops them all. Its extended reach is astounding. It cuts through anything. Its expensive but well worth it. I don't really like how the lopper attachment comes with such a short rope and it doesn't even come attached but thats a simple fix. Just have to buy a longer rope.

Our normal work is for high end residential customers but we love to experiment and learn new ways to work with Corian, HI-MACS or other similar materials. We try to take on one special bespoke project each month. A special project will be something that pushes us outside our experience, requires us to develop new techniques or will require lots of design content.
To make the design process easy for our customers we use the best 3D Engineering Design software (SolidWorks) so that we can easily show you photo-realistic images of your design prior to starting production. Our unique approach to kitchen and bathroom design frees you from the restrictions of a catalogue of standard shapes and sizes; you are free to let your imagination dictate design.
If you have something weird you want to do, it won't be the weirdest, talk to us. Other people have come to us wanting or needing:-
- A bespoke waterproof store for croquet mallets
- Unusual shop fitting installations
- Art furniture
- Prototypes
- Sculptures
- Exhibition displays
- An extra deep dog bath for a Great Dane
- Disinfectant troughs for a vet during the foot and mouth outbreak
- A giant trough to put a bath into so that it didn't matter if the customer filled the bath all the way to the top and let it overflow when he got in

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Council on Postsecondary Education
Adult education enrollments continue to break records; 88 counties meet or exceed goals
(FRANKFORT, Ky.)--A record number of 124,801 Kentuckians enrolled in adult education programs in fiscal year 2005. Adult education programs in 88 counties met or exceeded their enrollment and performance goals in fiscal 2005 (655K PDF). These counties will share nearly $1 million in incentive funds (33K PDF).
"Kentucky's significant investment in adult education continues to pay off," said Cheryl King, vice-president for Kentucky Adult Education, Council on Postsecondary Education.. "We must continue to make opportunities available to all Kentuckians to improve their quality of life through continuing their education."
The 124,801 total adult education enrollments surpassed the goal by 8 percent and represents Kentuckians who enroll in adult education to learn to read, write and compute; earn a GED; prepare for employment; and improve their English or learn as a family.
The number of Kentuckians completing the GED increased from 9,740 to 9,757. In 2003, Kentucky ranked 24th in the U.S. in the percentage of non-high school completers earning a GED. National rankings from the GED Testing Service for 2004 are not yet available.
Council President Tom Layzell recognized this achievement as a significant step toward Kentucky's goal of raising levels of educational attainment to the national average by 2020.
"The public agenda for postsecondary and adult education calls for increased efforts to prepare Kentuckians for postsecondary education. We will continue to work with our partners in adult education to ensure that adult learners can smoothly transition to postsecondary education," he said.
The groundwork for this success was the Kentucky Adult Education Act of 2000 that created a partnership between Kentucky Adult Education and the Council on Postsecondary Education and reformed Kentucky's system of adult education. The partnership strengthened in July 2003 when Kentucky Adult Education moved from the Cabinet for Workforce Development to the Council on Postsecondary Education.
Kentucky's postsecondary education system encompasses eight public institutions and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, numerous independent institutions and Kentucky Adult Education. The system represents 231,612 students, 538,866 Kentucky alumni, and 294,896 GED recipients. When Kentuckians earn postsecondary degrees, their skills improve and their wages go up; they are more likely to lead healthy lives and be engaged in their communities; and they build better futures for themselves and their families.

Japan's most original microphone maker
accessories construction details specifications
SANKEN CS-3eShotgun Microphone
CS-3e Short Shotgun Microphone
The CS-3e stands out among shotgun microphones - it maintains directivity over an extremely wide frequency range, especially in the low frequencies. Because of its unique design, the CS-3e is an excellent choice for use in difficult applications, such as close-to-ceiling positions or locations near a noisy camera. Even in such challenging situations, the excellent side and rear rejection of the CS-3e helps to capture only the targeted dialogue without any ambient reverberation.
The CS-3e delivers sharp directional sound even in the lower frequencies. SANKEN's original design results in a low proximity effect which facilitates working in a scene close-up and wide, while producing little change in sound character.
CS-3e is the new version of CS-3 sharp directional shotgun microphone with less noise and a flat frequency response also in the low end.
The Features of CS-3e
The remarkable performance of the CS-3 is based on the combination of a second-gradient and line microphone with three directional condenser elements, using new PPS (Poly-Gold-Phenylene-Sulfide) diaphragms to provide optimum humidity/temperature stability. The CS-3e incorporates the revolutionary technology of the CSS-5 shotgun stereo microphone and the COS-11s lavalier microphone developed in conjunction with NHK.
The CS-3e is small and lightweight with a low-cut switch to satisfy
the various needs of location and studio recording.
Non proximity effect
When a conventional shotgun microphone is near the sound source, proximity effect results in a boosting of certain low frequencies and slight masking of others. Some designs utilize this effect to reduce surrounding noises, but microphone response greatly varies with the changing distance between the source and the microphone. This effect becomes more pronounced when the directionality becomes greater. By contrast, the CS-3e virtually eliminates the proximity effect and maintains its sharp directivity, while the sonic characteristics do not change with varied distances between sources and microphone. This is a significant advantage over all other directional microphones.

John Henson using summer league to make impression
John Henson is looking to use his time in the Las Vegas summer league to impress the new coaches.
By ANDREW GRUMANFS Wisconsin
ST. FRANCIS, Wis. -- While the Las Vegas summer league will name a champion for the first time this season, most NBA teams don't set out to celebrate championships in July.
Sure, all players and coaches involved in the summer league are competitors and want to win, but development and evaluation are much more vital.
The Milwaukee Bucks begin play in the Las Vegas summer league Saturday night against Denver with three different types of players on their roster. First, there's players fighting to get an invite to training camp. Next, Gustavo Ayon and Ish Smith are battling to stay in the NBA.
Lastly, second-year forward John Henson is aiming to show the new coaching staff what he can do and how he's improved from his rookie season.
"Just play hard to let the coaches see what I can do and let them get comfortable with me," Henson said. "(I want to) get comfortable with their system. As a young guy, I need to pick a little faster than the older guys."
Bucks assistant coach Bob Bender is serving as the summer league team's head coach while head coach Larry Drew is taking a trip to Estonia to watch first-round pick Giannis Antetokoumpo play for Greece in the U-20 European Championships.
Bender has seen countless summer leagues and knows certain players are marked men, usually high draft picks. The veteran assistant feels players like Henson are much more ready to handle the summer league on their second go-around.
"No matter how much you feel you are prepared for that, it's somewhat of an eye-opening experience," Bender said. "The majority of guys in summer league are trying to make a roster. They are hungry, and they want to prove something. Your second year, you know and expect that. I think you handle it much better. I know with John, his confidence level better prepares him now for what he'll experience in Vegas."
Henson, along with Smith, Ayon and rookie point guard Nate Wolters will see the vast majority of the playing time. While Wolters has a chance to contribute next season, Henson is the player on the roster the Bucks have the most invested in.
After averaging 6.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game as a rookie, Henson has an opportunity to see more time on the floor this season, especially with a new coaching staff.
"It's a time to showcase and highlight things for John," Bender said. "Offensively, we are going to do some things to make sure he has the opportunity to show his improvement and to continue to expand on a role. He'll be better prepared for it. I think he's excited to have the opportunity to play a lot of minutes."
The expanded role in summer league is something Henson is looking forward to. He also plans on trying to win the championship, knowing exactly what Milwaukee's summer league record was last season. The Bucks went 4-1 last season and with more games this year, Henson wants to return with a 12-1 record in summer league games.
"You want to win because everybody feels better when you win," Henson said. "I don't care if it's checkers or basketball, you want to win. You want to go out there and show the coaches you are doing the right thing.
"The focus is going to be on me a little more than it was last year, but that's good. I want my teammates to play off of me. Hopefully I can help us win, as well."
As an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks, Bender saw Henson from a distance last season. Like many, Bender knew what kind of talent Henson has, but he didn't know how impressive of an athlete the Bucks had until he got to Milwaukee.
"He's impressed me in some of the areas where he probably didn't show consistently last year," Benderson said. "I do think he's taking those steps. The length, the athleticism and ability to make multiple efforts on plays is incredible. That's what we knew. His understanding though of little things, especially for him -- he knows he's not going demand the ball on the block because of strength -- he has to be moving in and finding angles to get to where he needs to be. I see that in him, but last year his role was pretty simple.
"From what I'm seeing now and what we hopefully see in Vegas, it will be a much different type of player. But the core and his strengths, they are really exciting. You just don't see many of those guys that size be able to run and impact things on both ends of the floor. There's no shot that he doesn't go after on either end. Guys with motors like that are special."
Unique participants: Smith is 25 years old and Ayon is 28 years old, two ages you rarely see on summer league rosters, especially from two players who have spent time in the NBA.
But Smith and Ayon are both fighting to keep their NBA careers alive, as the Bucks are using the summer league as a somewhat of an audition for the two.
"What I've been really impressed with both 'Goose' and Ish is their approach to being in a summer league again at a latter part of their career," Bender said. "They don't look at it as a punishment in any stretch, they are looking at it as an opportunity. I would fully expect they would take advantage of that opportunity."
Throughout his career in the NBA, Bender has seen many players establish themselves in summer league and go on to have long careers. It's a message he's passing on to Smith and Ayon.
"That's what happens," Bender said. "I think they know that, and they are taking that approach."
With Milwaukee's roster still with some uncertainty moving forward, players have an opportunity to impress in Las Vegas and earn an invitation to training camp.
"It certainly adds a dimension," Bender said. "If you have an established roster coming into the fall, you know you are looking for a few spots. But what it also does, it gives these guys going with us to Vegas a real good feeling. They have a real legitimate shot to get invited back in the fall for a vet camp. Beyond that, it's a step-by-step process."

Governor Vetoes Three Bills
Laramie, Wy – Governor Dave Freudenthal vetoed three bills today. Most notably the Governor vetoed the measure that would have increased the punishment for killing a woman and her fetus. Freudenthal says under the Supreme Court decision Roe versus Wade an unborn fetus is not a *person* for purposes of 14th Amendment protection. He notes that this bill would have made it a homicide to terminate a pregnancy. And homicide is by definition the killing of a person. Thus, he says the bill implicitly defines any unborn fetus as a person. He says that would have put Wyoming in the middle of the abortion debate.
That's despite supporters of this proposal saying it is not about bestowing rights on a fetus, but rather trying to protect pregnant woman from domestic violence. The legislature finished work a week ago, it would have to come back into session to override this veto.

Eastern Shore Tea CompanyEdit Company
Popular Teas from Eastern Shore Tea CompanySee All 43 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
One of my favorite teas! Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe. I love the balance and the flavor! Blackcurrants in general do have a peculiar aroma to me though. I Love to watch this in a dark room with Vincent Price movies like The Raven, The Pit and The Pendulum, etc.
The tea leaves are whole and black with some broken leaves among whole cloves and pieces of cinnamon bark. The aroma of the tea in the canister is bright over a malty base with a balance of apricot and cloves. Although I could not detect the specific fragrance of cinnamon, the dry tea had a sweetness to its aroma that must come from the cinnamon as well as the apricot flavoring. In the cup the aroma is bright and balanced, sweet with apricot and just a little cinnamon and cloves. After a five minute steeping, the taste was balanced but delicate with a thin mouthfeel, just a touch of saltiness, slightly tangy, and sweet, with mild astringency. The liquor was honey amber. After enjoying the first cup of this tea, I felt relaxed, calm, and had had memories of running among our apricot trees as a child. Location and circumstances of growth and production unknown. Value: $0.31 per 6 ounce cup.
Flavors: Apricot, Cinnamon, Cloves
Hm.. Kind of bought this on an impulse on a shopping trip with my grandmother yesterday. They were selling various bags of this tea company in a little tea/coffee shop. At $6.95 for 85g I thought it was a good deal, and the flavour was nothing like I already have. When I first smelled the dry leaf I thought it was really weird. At first I couldn't identify it, but then I realized.. Play Dough. Yes, Play Dough, this is what this tea smells like to me. Honestly the smell of a tea can pretty much make it or break it for me, really. Though the taste was completely different than I was expecting. It was quite good, mostly a coconut flavour, but smooth and creamy, with a hint of the lime. Though in my very last sip, the Play Dough came to mind again and kind of ruined it for me. I'm not sure how I'll get through 85g of this.. we'll see!
There's more going on with this tea than I originally thought I put a bag in my travel mug this morning and was surprised at how sweet this was even with a very long steep. There was a greeat dark green bean taste to it similiar to some of the mountain blackhiss I've tried. I'm glad I gave this a second tasting without milk and sugar. This will be nice for my lazy mornings when I have to rush out of the house.
I've had enough straight green teas for the weekend! This is a strong, slightly bitter breafast type blend. Although it just says blend of black tea, ceylon seems to be the primary flavor. I got more Assam out of the second steep. I did not steep for the recommended 5 minutes. 2.5 was plenty strong! It was a little bitter, but adding sugar and half and half smoothed that out. Although it's not the best belend I've had, it's exactly the dark kind of blend I needed right now.
A simple fun bag tea. Tastes like Jolly Rancher to me but I can see the cotton candy aspect gmathis mentions. Sweet candy without going all cough syrup. The base I catch lightly and mostly in the aftertaste. Not a lot of depth but sometimes you just want simple. Thanks gmathis for sharing.
A box of this magically appeared in my office tea cupboard. (Maybe we have office elves, like house elves but for offices. Maybe a coworker's belief in such beings is why he never does his assigned week of kitchen duty which simply involves running the dishwasher and unloading it every so often.)
It really tastes similar to pink lemonade, if pink lemonade was made from herbs. It's not perfect but it's tart and lemony, and it is pink. I probably should have added sugar but that would have involved another walk to the kitchen. (We'll refrain from mentioning that my office is about 20 feet away from the kitchen.)
Not quite to my taste but others may enjoy this better.
This is not the Holy Grail of cherry teas—that would taste like pie made from the cherries in the tree I used to sit in to read when I was nine. There was a v-shaped branch just the size for my skinny little backside and some limbs that could hold my transistor radio and an extra copy of Trixie Belden.
However, this is a good cherry tea. Bagged, no less. Not chemically-syrupy; not so tart it makes your eyeballs sweat; just pleasantly (and not too artificially) tasting cherry.
Second experience with this as easygoing as the first. Cold steeped in the fridge and enjoying it iced. The extended soak gives the keemun time to come out, so it's a little richer, but still has a candy flavor to it. But not chemically.
Wishing this had come my way a little earlier in the season—it's very springy-summery in personality. Wonder what a cinnamon stick would do to it…
A work friend brought this to me, acquired on a trip to Washington D.C. The bag actually says "Cherry Blossom Tea" with a different label, but comparable description leads me to believe it's the same thing. I will gladly stand corrected.
At any rate, this is kinda tasty for a bagged gift tea. A keemun and cherry blend; the cherry has a very sweet cotton-candy vibe. Not getting a lot of keemun, but it was made sloppily, bag-in in a microwave. Thrown over ice, it flies as a decent dessert tea.
I've had this twice now, and am surprised at how much I like it since I generally don't care for cinnamon in teas. I bought this bag as a gift for my mother (at the MD Renaissance Festival of all places) because she loves cinnamon spice blends (Harney's Hot Cinnamon Spice and Bigelow's Cinnamon Stick are probably her faves). Anyway, she gave me a couple serving back in t-sacs so I could try it too. It smells like a bowl of potpourri when dry, but when brewed it mellows out a bit and the apricot and cinnamon are well-balanced and compliment each other nicely to make a soothing fall tea. The apricot floor is not very strong, or particularly "fresh" tasting, but neither is it overwhelmingly fake.
Eastern Shore has quite a range of blends. Maybe I'll pick another one up from Herbalist's Delight next time I'm at the fest (I go maybe every 2-3 years now).
Brewed 2 bags of this at once today thinking it would improve it as the flavor was weak. Instead, it made it twice as bad.
I might be angry at this tea.
I keep giving bad reviews lately and I'm not sure if it is because my job is utter shite and my home life stinks or if I'm just picking the wrong teas.
I blame the tea this time. I wanted so much to like this one. It's local, it's adorably packaged, it's three of my favorite flavorings all rolled into one. And it doesn't really taste like any of them. The tea comes in individual foil bags, which keeps it fresh. Tearing one open releases the unmistakable smell of…bazooka joe bubble gum. What.
It brews a weak reddish tea. The bag is tiny so no surprise the tea is weak- it would take a few for a hefty mug. The tea is kind of innocuously artificial tasting. If this tea were a person, it would be someone who tries to please everyone by being sweet and inoffensive and agreeable, but ends up alone and wondering why. Without milk or sugar, it is a weak scented black. With it, it gets better, more desserty and reminiscent of watery hot cocoa, but still nothing like the flavors it purports to have.
I tried this more than once to see if it was my admittedly wretched mood. I wanted to love this tea and love this company and have more bagged options at work. But, no.
I took a look at your ratings and it seems that you're not all that thrilled with Upton or bagged tea's. Maybe you just need a change.Try a swap with someone or a company that people like a lot. There are lists of favorites in the discussion boards. If you want natural flavor, Butiki Tea is very good and the service is great with added free samples. Hope I'm not butting in.
Not butting in at all, I love recommendations and if I didn't welcome comments I wouldn't post tasting notes! I think I'm just too particular. I got 8 teas from Adagio and liked 3, I've tried 10 from Upton and liked 3. I have a ridiculous sense of smell and I can often taste every nuance of a dish- so it follows that I'd be picky about tea.
I like Upton's sample availability and variety and I bring bags to work for convenience. But you are correct, I am planning to try another retailer for my next order once I've gotten through some of the teas I already have and finished the rest of my samples.
I'm sensitive also which is one reason that I've cut out artificially flavored tea and only drink naturally flavored. (One reason that I suggested Butiki Tea or Verdant or vendors like them.)
I have tried some divine blends from Adagio, but some of their flavored teas do taste kind of comical. My newest discovery is Harney & Sons, whose flavors are nuanced and intriguing (and excellent).
I think my problem with this tea, is that I was hoping to add milk, to find that it would, for some reason, curdle. I suspect there's something too acidic in this tea, maybe rose hips, that caused the milk to curdle. Other than that it's a decent tea. Good with sugar or honey, but again, don't add milk. It's fairly sour, and not overly floral, which I wasn't expecting.

Great choice! We've had several terrific meals here over the past couple of years.

But I can't even imagine how difficult your choice was - as I mentioned in an earlier comment to a different post, beside Red Newt you had Dano's, Village Tavern, Suzanne's, Pumpkin Hill, Stonecat, and goodness knows how many others to choose from. (I actually kinda envy your task of having to actually, y'know, TRY all of these places.)

Male clergy in economic crisis
Although ministers like to think of themselves as members of the professional middle class, they are hanging on to that status by their fingernails. Male clergy especially are pursuing their vocations despite a strong "fear of falling," to use Barbara Ehrenreich's phrase.
