Intensive Academic English Preparation (IAEP)
The Lincoln University Intensive Academic English Preparation follows the mission of the University by providing the English language skills essential to a university-level education. By developing prerequisite language skills, the IAEP supports students entering academic studies, including the University's general education, undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration, or allied health programs. The skill areas of reading, composition, grammar, listening comprehension, and speaking are taught. Although the IAEP classes are non-credit, the students are graded.
The IAEP strives to supplement classroom instruction by making available to the students the use of the computer lab. The lab has a qualified assistant available to help students during most open hours. The university library is also available for use by the IAEP students. The IAEP classes are small and conducted by qualified English instructors. The Faculty is qualified by academic background and experience. They also possess an understanding of cultural differences and are sensitive to the needs of international students. Faculty members are available to help with academic concerns as well as other issues. The delivery system for the IAEP combines classroom instruction with media enrichment and a variety of communicative experiences such as field trips and cultural events.
The IAEP can be given in different levels of difficulty. It emphasizes working with the student at his or her level and advancing to the targeted level of proficiency. Tutorial help is available when requested. A student wishing to continue education in the university's academic program after completing IAEP is required to take the English tests on campus and to receive the passing score.DESCRIPTION OF THE INTENSIVE ACADEMIC ENGLISH PREPARATION
Admission to the IAEP is open to international students who have completed the educational equivalent of U.S. high schools.
Fees and Schedule
1. Application Form;
2. One passport-size photograph;
3. Passport copy;
4. Bank statement or a letter showing a minimum balance of $7,035 for the four months' educational and living expenses (for foreign students only).

26.The Dance
ARTHUR had chosen the entrance-hall for the ballroom: very wisely, for no other
room could have heen so airy, or would have had the advantage of the wide
doors opening into the garden, as well as a ready entrance into the other rooms.
To be sure, a stone floor was not the pleasantest to dance on, but then, most of
the dancers had known what it was to enjoy a Christmas dance on kitchen
quarries. It was one of those entrance-halls which make the surrounding rooms
look like closets--with stucco angels, trumpets, and flower-wreaths on the lofty
ceiling, and great medallions of miscellaneous heroes on the walls, alternating
with statues in niches. Just the sort of place to be ornamented well with green
boughs, and Mr. Craig had been proud to show his taste and his hothouse plants
on the occasion. The broad steps of the stone staircase were covered with
cushions to serve as seats for the children, who were to stay till half-past nine
with the servant- maids to see the dancing, and as this dance was confined to
the chief tenants, there was abundant room for every one. The lights were
charmingly disposed in coloured-paper lamps, high up among green boughs, and
the farmers' wives and daughters, as they peeped in, believed no scene could be
more splendid; they knew now quite well in what sort of rooms the king and
queen lived, and their thoughts glanced with some pity towards cousins and
acquaintances who had not this fine opportunity of knowing how things went on
in the great world. The lamps were already lit, though the sun had not long set,
and there was that calm light out of doors in which we seem to see all objects
more distinctly than in the broad day.
It was a pretty scene outside the house: the farmers and their families were
moving about the lawn, among the flowers and shrubs, or along the broad
straight road leading from the east front, where a carpet of mossy grass spread
on each side, studded here and there with a dark flat-boughed cedar, or a grand
pyramidal fir sweeping the ground with its branches, all tipped with a fringe of
paler green. The groups of cottagers in the park were gradually diminishing, the
young ones being attracted towards the lights that were beginning to gleam from
the windows of the gallery in the abbey, which was to be their dancing-room, and
some of the sober elder ones thinking it time to go home quietly. One of these
was Lisbeth Bede, and Seth went with her--not from filial attention only, for his
conscience would not let him join in dancing. It had been rather a melancholy day
to Seth: Dinah had never been more constantly present with him than in this
scene, where everything was so unlike her. He saw her all the more vividly after
looking at the thoughtless faces and gay-coloured dresses of the young women--
just as one feels the beauty and the greatness of a pictured Madonna the more
when it has been for a moment screened from us by a vulgar head in a bonnet.
But this presence of Dinah in his mind only helped him to bear the better with his
mother's mood, which had been becoming more and more querulous for the last
hour. Poor Lisbeth was suffering from a strange conflict of feelings. Her joy and

We usually try to keep the good camera deals that we find only on Twitter, but I think everyone deserves to hear about this one.
Amazon is currently giving $100-$400 off when you buy any Nikon SLR and a lens. You can see all of these deals here. This is a pretty good deal in itself, especially if you were about to buy the new D7000 anyway but it gets better.
Epson is currently giving you a $450 rebate when you buy their $385 R1900 Photo Printer and a Nikon SLR which means they are actually paying YOU $65 to buy their printer. You can check out the rebate form here.
The deal above is just a random one that I put together. If you are only interested in a new lens then I would suggest buying the Nikon D3100 (Nikon's cheapest camera), getting the discount on the lens, getting the rebate on the printer, and then selling the camera and printer when they come. It's a bit of work but you could potentially save about $600-800 on a new lens this way.
I have done my best to read all of the fine print and this all seems to be legitimate. Please don't count on me though, do your own research and hopefully we can all save some money.

Thanks for sharing. Not everyone - even not every photographer interested in good deals, has access to Twitter. I cannot get any cell service (really) at home or studio location. High speed internet is pricey and not that high speed but I can get the info sent via the web - and appreciate it!
Great deal but in the fine print of the rebate form it states
"In the event a customer has paid less for the Epson product than the specified rebate amount, customer will only be entitled to receive a rebate
check for the actual amount paid by customer for the Epson product before taxes and shipping"
So the best (and it's pretty good) you can do is getting the printer free. You won't be able to get extra back by buying the printer for less than $450.
One more thing, both the camera and the printer have to be on the same receipt. If you order two products from two different stores on amazon you get two invoices. So there might be an issue since the rebate specifies the products have to be on the same receipt. So make sure the printer and camera are on the same receipt / order.

As humanities scholars increasingly recognize the value of public engagement, and as the proportion of tenure-track faculty positions available to new graduates continues to decline, many humanities programs are focusing renewed attention on equipping graduate students for careers as scholars both within and beyond academe. To support those efforts, the Scholarly Communication Institute has carried out a study investigating perceptions about career preparation provided by humanities graduate programs. The survey results help to create a more solid foundation on which to base curricular reform and new initiatives by moving the conversation about varied career paths from anecdote to data.
The study consisted of two main phases: one public, one confidential. The first phase involved creating an exploratory public database of self-identified alternative academic practitioners. The database was built within the framework of the #Alt-Academy project (http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/alt-ac/) in order to leverage the energy of existing conversations. The second phase comprised two confidential surveys. The primary survey targeted people with advanced humanities degrees who self-identify as working in alternative academic careers, while a second targeted employers that oversee employees with advanced humanities degrees. Because we were working with a somewhat nebulous population, our subsequent distribution focused on "opt-in" strategies—especially social media, listervs, and traditional media coverage. While this method has limitations, we hoped to learn something not only from the content of the responses, but from the number and type of respondents.
The data obtained through this study represents an important step towards identifying and understanding the career preparation needs of humanities graduate students by examining particular issues facing the increasingly visible and vocal population of humanities graduates in alternative academic careers. Equipping graduate students with the skills and literacies needed for 21st century scholarly work—from technical fluency to an understanding of organizational structures—is critical to ensuring continued rigorous and creative research, scholarship, and teaching.

As pet parents to two rescue dogs and four rescue cats (all from shelters except Coco, who was a stray), we get a lot of questions about pet adoption. Whether from friends and family members or from readers, we always try to explain to potential adopters just why certain shelters do things the way they do. Some of the most common questions we're asked include:
Why do I have to fill out a lengthy adoption application?
Shelters and rescues do extensive checks to ensure the safety of adopted animals. They don't want to adopt dogs that will wind up chained in the back yard, just as they don't want to see a previously declawed cat turned loose outside with no defenses. Shelters want to make sure that your living situation—whether that's a home you own or rent—is a good fit for the animal in terms of the dwelling itself, the members of your family, and your other animals.
Why does everyone in the household have to be present for adoption?
The whole family will be living with your new pet, right? Shelters want to make sure that everyone in the home is in agreement on this new arrival. Besides, the joy of selecting a new family member is a special event that you'll want everyone to attend!
Can my dog meet the dog I'm considering adopting?
In many cases, shelters will encourage—if not require—you to bring your dog to visit a new dog you're considering adopting. It's a great idea, allowing the dogs to meet in a neutral territory rather than on your dog's turf. It's only fair to your dog to ensure that a new addition to your family meets his approval, too!
Why do I have to pay for the adoption?
Several people have asked us why municipal shelters charge fees of about $100 and sometimes more. Although $100 may seem like a big expenditure when compared with that "free" puppy you saw in an ad or the "free" kitten from your neighbor's new litter, you are actually receiving several hundred dollars worth of services with the adoption fee. It often includes a veterinary exam, shots appropriate for the pet's age, FIV/FLV feline testing, deworming, microchipping, and, in most cases, spay and neuter services. Purchased separately, you'd be looking at about $380-$480 in services, depending on where you live and the gender of the animal.
Why are puppies more expensive than older dogs?
It's generally a matter of supply and demand. Puppies are cute; no one can deny it. That cuteness leads to increased demand which, in turn, can mean diminished demand for older pets, even ones just six months and older.
Do they really know each dog's breed?
No. Shelters do their best to guess at breeds but, unless a purebred dog is surrendered by an owner (and that happens), the dog is taken from a puppy mill situation, or the dog is DNA tested, it's a guess. Some dogs will show characteristics of a particular breed; many mixes (our personal favorite) are just about impossible to guess. They're one-of-a-kind dogs!
Why are these pets in a shelter? Do most have behavior problems?
The reasons that dogs and cats find themselves in shelters are as varied as the animals themselves. Reasons range from lost pets that are never reclaimed to deceased owners that died without a caregiver for their pets. Divorce, new babies, new boyfriends, a change in living situation (including foreclosed homes), and other reasons all come into play as well. Many, many animals in shelters are there through no fault of their own.
Every shelter does things a little bit differently. Don't feel that you have to adopt on the first visit; feel free to go there and just check out the facility then return with the whole family when you have plenty of time to look around and get to know the animals as individuals. You're planning for many years together so it pays to take your time with this very special decision.

1. Game of the week
Cowboys v Storm, tomorrow
It may be only round two but it wouldn't be a surprise to see these two teams play in October's grand final. The Cowboys dominated the Bulldogs in their first game, beating last year's beaten grand finalists 24-12, as their big forward pack laid it on for Johnathan Thurston to do what he does. They will have a big advantage in this match, given it is forecast to be played in hot and humid conditions and Melbourne struggled with the conditions in week one, but the Storm have weathered a few handicaps in their time. They smacked the Dragons 30-10 last weekend, extending their winning streak to 10 matches.
If the Cowboys can stop the Big Three, they can stop the Storm.
2. Cam-do attitude
Television executives are trying to come up with ideas to outdo their rivals - Channel Nine's efforts to convey what SBW was thinking plumbed new depths - and now Fox Sports has come up with the FoxKopter, a remote-controlled device that can hover over the field and bring a bird's-eye view of action (others have SpiderCam, which is a camera mounted on a fixed line).
Fox has also come up with Cornerpost Cam, which is also being used in Super rugby, along with Ref Cam and Helmet Cam in cricket. If Storm captain Cameron Smith had one installed on him, it might be called the Cam Cam.
3. Warnie's spin
In a week when Dally M medallist Ben Barba was discharged from a clinic after his troubles with alcohol and Josh Dugan was embroiled in a stand-off with Canberra after being suspended indefinitely for skipping training on Monday and being caught drinking, Shane Warne said the Australian cricketers needed to sort out their issues by getting on the grog together behind closed doors. "As a leader I always thought if the boys weren't getting along or we weren't performing, then the best thing to do was to lock everyone into a room with some music, alcohol and everyone have their say to each other. Old school ways can still work well." Warne, of course, was stripped of the Australian vice-captaincy in 2000 for off-field issues and in 2007 labelled former coach John Buchanan a "goose" who was "living in pixieland". Many might now wonder what land Warne is living in.
4. Turning the table
It must be stressed it is only week one but the NRL table looks out of kilter with the Knights, Eels and Panthers occupying the top three spots. The three clubs, who aren't supposed to figure this season, might want to frame a picture of the ladder because it's not likely to last long.
5. Three out of four is bad
Dismissing what is going on at Cronulla, where Shane Flanagan has been stood down as coach and Peter Sharp installed in the interim, three of the four new NRL coaches suffered defeats in their first week in the job. Matt Elliott (Warriors), Mick Potter (Wests Tigers) and Trent Robinson (Roosters) were all on the wrong side of the ledger with only Ricky Stuart (Eels) enjoying victory.
Of course, one had to win with the Warriors and Eels coming up against each other.
6. Secret squirrel
Coaches are often asked by curious journalists what they said to their players at halftime. Warriors captain Simon Mannering admitted they got a spray from coach Matt Elliott at the break in last weekend's 40-10 defeat to the Eels. Elliott, however, wasn't willing to divulge his message. "I never share that sort of stuff. It's like what you tell your kids when they do the wrong thing. That's why the doors are closed." Let's just say it was intended for mature audiences.

Ecosystem services are the goods and services provided by ecosystems that maintain and improve human well-being. This framework is inherently anthropocentric, organizing ecological processes by their effects on human beneficiaries and explicitly connecting ecosystem processes to human welfare. The ecosystem services approach facilitates management of a complex system by incorporating important aspects of risk-informed management. Ecosystem services provide a framework for assessing the many stressors to and outputs of a river basin by organizing stakeholders, identifying those whose actions affect the provision of ecosystem services and those whose well-being will be impacted by changes in the provision of ecosystem services, and by delineating the mechanisms by which land-use changes affect stakeholders. The framework is best used to assess changes in ecosystem service delivery and can be useful for considering the trade-offs among services provided by a variety of plausible future land-use scenarios. Within the ecosystem services framework, stakeholder beneficiaries identify the ecosystem services they find valuable. Ecosystem service valuation is not necessarily monetary valuation, but using money as a common currency for comparison can aid decision-making. Economic valuation approaches have a number of problems and pitfalls, but when thoughtfully applied, they allow the possibility of payments for ecosystem services, which can be a useful tool when command-and-control regulation does not work or is politically infeasible. Overall, ecosystem services are a useful tool for river basin managers because they provide a coherent context to incorporate stakeholders and complex biophysical processes into a consistent, learning-based management scheme.

This is happening all over the country. I pray that she does not lose her home. Countrywide is the leading mortgage lender in the nation. They can find away to avoid her eviction, they can resolve this issue without her being harmed. I pray for the best and Nate continue to fight for your mother. I lost mine in 2006.

Hi All
I've been having problems with my meta-tarsels in my right foot recently as a result of an on-going morton's neuroma condition.
I was wondering what kind of sports insole i should be looking for - I haven't tried them before and would appreciate any suggestions on the best type for mykind of problem.
Do i find something with padding - is that sufficient
or do i need something else ?
Thank you in advance
Ask Lurks?
The neuroma is caused by friction over the nerve of two meta tarsals rubbing. An insole with a shape which 'splits' these apart prevents the friction. I aimed for a polo shaped padding to alleviate the immediate pain but long term wide shoes and insoles which reduce friction I believe
Yeah - another suggestion I found was putting cotton wool in between the toes and underneith, not sure though.
Are there any sports insoles you know of, which are specifically for runners suffering from Morton's?
Don't want to risk trying something that might not be right for the job.
Suggestions appreciated
Hi Edward
Thank you for info - I'm going to the docs on friday to make sure this pain is being caused by MN. Reading around there is a distinct possibility I may have a stress fracture, not the MN i was diagnosed with 1-2 years ago.
The MN hasn't bothered me for a while (4-5 months) but when I felt a pain in the top of my foot (like the pain you get after you've dropped something heavy on your foot) I assumed it was MN in another form, instead of the 'electric shock' type of pain which is associted with MN... this is a constant pain while I'm running.
I'll see what the doc says but if you want to shed some light please do - do you think the pain i'm getting is MN?
Hi Andy
I wouldn't want to try to diagnose your MN. I guess the description of it as an "electric shock" type pain is reasonably accurate, though I would say it's more like a burning sensation. The point of MN is the location - between the heads of the metatarsals at the metatarsal arch. However, whether your doctor gives you a good diagnosis is another matter. When I first presented with MN my then doctor diagnosed it correctly, but prescribed a tight bandage which made it much worse! Good, loose fitting shoes are the thing. I also found that running a lot of hills exacerbated it.
Hi Edward,
My old doctor diagnosed MN but with little to go on appart from my description of it and a fumbling around with my foot. The'electric shock' pains, once they stopped, were not triggered again by just pressing my foot, they would occur at random and never while I was running..?? My doctor said carry on with the running and if the pain from the MN is managable there is no need to worry.
At the time it didn't bother me so I just carried on with my running and never had a problem accept the occasional 'electric shock' which, as i've said, didn't happen while running...
I did the eccup 10 mile yesterday and got a pain from the ball of my foot, spreading up to the top of my meta-tarsels - I had to keep stopping and starting all the way. I made an assumption that this was related to the MN but it is an altogether different pain which is still lingering now... the MN just goes.
Hopefully, the problem will come to light with an x-ray and I can put my mind at rest - in the meantime I'm icing it and not running.
Since my post yesterday I have come round to the idea this may be a stress fracture of the meta-tarsel (all the symptoms are there) but sometimes these are not picked up by x-rays immediately after so I hope they do find something which I can put a name to!
Why do we do it?
What you describe sounds more to me like MN than your original symptoms. I never got the "electric shock" thing - for me, MN was a constant pain that occurred when running, normally coming in after a mile or two, and getting worse and worse (training for a marathon was just horrible). The starting at the ball of the foot and spreading upwards sounds familiar too, but since I had the new orthotics I haven't had MN so I can't really remember (I'm currently fighting piriformis syndrome which is fun! not) However, if the pain is lingering after finishing running it may be something else - a stress fracture is possible.
Let us know how you get on.
Hi Edward
saw the doctor on Friday - just gave me some pain killers, Nextrin (anti-inflamatories) - he didn't seem to think there was a connection with the MR??
I've been resting it and will try running on it maybe next week (fingers crossed)
let you know what happens
I had a metatarsal stress fracture this time last year - started off with pain on the top of my foot...then on the ball and it felt like the metatarsals were mangled and crushed inside my foot every time I put pressure on it - toes went numb/tingly. Sometimes it did feel like I was walking on something inside the foot.
I didn't get it properly diagnosed until a trip to A&E and an X-ray. The strong pain killers the GP gave me didn't touch the pain much.
Hello theSianz!
Long time ago my post! - thankfully I've not had Morton's Neuroma now for a solid 2 years. I first started wearing wider shoes - new balance size 4e - wider cycling shoes etc and this solved my problem. I now do most of my running barefoot or (as it is now getting a bit too cold for barefoot) my Vibram bikila's and sometimes my five fingers kso's - all of which means my toes aren't bunched together! definitely the source of the problem

Hi Andy I should check the date huh
I have been wondering about these five finger kso thingymejigs...
Glad it's now sorted!
thing is with the five fingers you just have to "transition" into them - ussing your existing shoes and doing some small distances in the five fingers (or any minimalist shoe) or, start from scratch in the fivefingers but start with small distances (1-2 miles) and increase by 1/8 mile per run, if you get pain step back and so on
main reason i went minimalist/barefoot was to attempt getting rid of a persistant knee problem (runners knee) - to early to tell if it's actually working (NO PAIN SO FAR!) - i'm still tiddling around with small distances but the research on barefoot running points to a more efficient running form so fingers crossed!
just remember if you do go minimal or (better) barefoot go very sloowwwly, build gradually and be mindful of your body's messages - so worth the effort though!!
Best of luck!

A Diner for Easter?
I'm so excited I'm going home for Easter. Home being where my family is Pennsylvania. My home now is in New Jersey with my daughter and me and our 2 dogs. But where ever my Mom and Dad are I usually call that home.
Every year we always go to this same restaurant with the whole family, it's always so nice. Well my Mom calls me and says it's closed down and she asked would I mind if we would go to a diner. Now this diner she's talking about has the best the buffet, ever! But it's funny she even felt the need to call me and ask that. She knows no matter what and where the family is I will be there. I do not care either way where we eat as long as we are all together. Easter has always been my favorite holiday. It's a time where we can sit down and relax, look at all the pretty Easter eggs and just enfoy each other. Then the fun comes and we have an Easter egg hunt for the kids. I just love this time of year.
What's your Easter tradition? Do you go away? Do you cook?

Knox Bellafield Presbyterian ChurchThe Gaelic ChurchÉglise gaëlique
1906/01/01 to 1906/12/31
Knox Bellafield Presbyterian Church, erected in 1906, is a wood-frame building on a plot of level farmland near Pelican Lake in the Ninette area. The municipal designation applies to the church and its grounds.
Knox Bellafield Presbyterian Church, once known locally as the Gaelic Church, is a direct link to the Crofters, a group of settlers from the Western Isles of Scotland who came to the Pelican Lake area in 1888. They brought their Gaelic language and Presbyterian beliefs to a place they called Bellafield (Bella is Gaelic for 'beautiful') and by 1890 had erected a church from local fieldstone. Rebuilt of wood in 1906 incorporating the foundation and roof of its predecessor, the structure is a typical but charming example of a modest Gothic Revival-style rural church, one that is still used on special seasonal occasions.
Source: Rural Municipality of Riverside By-law No. 13, August 15, 1991
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Knox Bellafield Presbyterian Church site include:
- the building's east-west placement on a large treed plot west of Pelican Lake, and visible across open fields from Highway 18 to the east
Key exterior elements that define the church's restrained Gothic Revival style include:
- the simple rectangular form set beneath a tall, steep, forward-facing gable roof
- the rugged foundation and front steps of large stones transported from the shores of Pelican Lake
- the orderly fenestration featuring a multi-paned oculus in the front (east) gable and, on the north and south walls, three tall rectangular sash windows, multi-paned, with pebbled glazing, all set in plain pointed wood arches
- the unpretentious materials and finishes, including the horizontal wood siding, double wood-panelled entrance doors, brick chimney, etc.
Key elements that define the church's well-preserved utilitarian interior include:
- the open plan with a narrow vestibule, a nave with pews and a low pulpit platform, etc
- the modest materials and finishes, including white-painted horizontal wood boards on the walls and high truncated ceiling, the vertical board wainscotting in a natural finish that also borders the service platform, the painted wood floor, the double nave doors of light-stained wood, etc.
- furnishings and fixtures such as the dark-stained wooden pews, a reed organ, a pair of lanterns fixed on the west wall over the platform, a larger lantern suspended from the ceiling in the southeast corner room, etc.

2013 County Fixtures announced
Monday 26 November 2012
Essex, Middlesex and Gloucestershire will visit Fenner's to take on the MCCU in 2013. The fixtures, released this afternoon, provide three fantastic opportunities for the MCCU to take on professional players, and continue to foster the positive impression they have created over the last few years.
Essex arrive first, Friday 5th-Sunday 7th April before Middlesex, Wednesday 24th-Friday 26th April and Gloucestershire, Wednesday 15th-Friday 17th May complete the programme.
All three teams have visited Fenner's over the last two summers, with the MCCU securing creditable draws against Essex and Gloucestershire in 2012, entering the final day of the Gloucestershire match with a serious chance of forcing a result.
Middlesex won at Fenner's in 2011 but against a bowling attack including Steven Finn, this was no embarrassment.
Alastair Cook, Ravi Bopara and Sajid Mahmood may all appear for Essex. Harbahjan Singh and Alviro Petersen have been signed as their overseas players. Essex have visited Fenner's regularly over the last few years, and always bring a strong team.
Middlesex have signed James Harris from Glamorgan, and also have the potential to feature England players Steven Finn and Eoin Morgan, as well as overseas player Chris Rogers.
Gloucestershire were captained at Fenner's last year by New Zealand test cricketer Hamish Marshall, and also feature the Gidman brothers, two of the most consistent players on the county circuit.
Having lost Rob Woolley, Pete Turnbull, Ben Ackland and Craig Park, coach Chris Scott has recognised the re-building job he faces as he looks to develop a new generation. The Cambridge quartet Zafar Ansari, Paul Best, Akbar Ansari and Paddy Sadler all have first-class experience, and ARU players such as James Johnson, Dean Bell and Josh Poysden have also performed well in these games in the past. The fixture release will provide a direction to the hard training which is always ongoing, and these three games are highly anticipated by all involved in CUCC.
Further fixture announcements for the MCCU one-day and two-day competitions, as well as the Blues, including the three Varsity fixtures, the Crusaders and the women will be made in due course.

I hope I can get some input here, despite the obvious fact that no one here is really a drummer.
I'm looking at recording a drum kit with the absolute best sound for value. I'm thinking about buying 4 or 5 SM57s and a bass drum mic and recording a kit like that.
I'm looking for some opinions as well as some advice.
Also, has anyone had any experience with drum triggers? I was thinking about recording each part of the kit individually and then using drum triggers to record the whole kit and inserting the pre-recorded sound overtop so I dont have to do any gating or compressing to reduce spill and enhance clarity.

The OnTime Wildlife Feeder are more advanced than anything else on the market. With additional clips, the lifetime can feed up to 12 times per day with an adjustable runtime of 3 to 16 seconds. The standard plate throw is approximately 70 feetin diameter.
The Wildlife Feeder is virtually indestructible.The timer housing is made of high-density heat treated aluminum, weighs only 4 pounds, and yet is capable of withstanding 4000 pounds of pressure. In tests, it was run over by a truck and not damaged. It was also un-phased by a shotgun blast, survived a 1000 foot fall from an airplane, and continued to distribute corn while being shocked with a 200,000 volt stun gun!
On Time's design eliminates many problems which are reported with other feeders on the market. Its clock is a rugged, easy to use 24 hour analog design, which eliminates the problems that sensitive digital clocks have. The electronic circuitry and clock are located on a polyurethane-lined chassis which slides in and out of the aluminum cylinder forming an air-tight chamber. This keeps them safe from dust, moisture, insects, and other animals. These units are powered by inexpensive, light-weight AA batteries instead of bulky rechargeable batteries and solar panels. The unprecedented battery life of up to 18 months is attributed to the amazingly efficient circuitry.
