Synopsis: A Tomboy-meets-Townie love story and tale about how friendship can save your life. Sara Quinn is a Sportswriter from Boston and over the past year she has started to earn major respect in the local market. In the process, however, she abandoned her personal relationships and put her emotions in the box. Regardless of her self-imposed timeout, a friend introduces her to Ben. With blue eyes, black hair and a brogue, he's her ultimate triple threat. But they connect just as Sara learns that her friends are facing heavy emotional crises. She starts offering advice, becoming a rock for everyone else, and in the process Sara unearths her own long dormant insecurities. But a bag of peanut butter cups and a hockey game won't fix her issues. She's got to move past her emotional past without hiding behind her career for once. She needs her friend's support as much as they need hers and the four will quickly discover that, when they stick together, their offense is virtually unstoppable.

Synopsis: Sometime back in seventh grade, Lainie and Miya pinky swore to attend the same college, snag gorgeous husbands, and live next door to one another for the rest of their lives. But is post-grad life ever what one imagines? Lainie Silver is twenty-eight, attractive, razor-sharp, and is nonetheless trapped in a mind-numbing job and a romantic slump. Sure, she's thankful for a steady paycheck, a Fifth Avenue address, and minimal sagging of tenuous body parts. But it doesn't seem fair that Miya managed to wangle a glamorous career as a celebrity make-up artist and a "perfect" marriage to Jake, a chef at The Union Square Café. Both are unbearable reminders of the novel Lainie can't seem to write and the elusive love she craves. After hosting a tense dinner party (and throwing back one too many cocktails), Lainie succumbs to bitterness and bad judgment when Jake shows up at her apartment. Though Lainie can't stand him, this minor detail doesn't matter in the drunken haze of seduction. Eight minutes later, after mediocre sex and a hard look at the philanderer passed out on her couch, Lainie knows that her friendship—potentially her entire life—will never be the same. Determined to keep her secret, with guilty angst and acerbic wit as her must-have accessories, Lainie tries to resume so-called normalcy. This proves more difficult than she thought: she gets fired for taking too long a lunch, settles into the comfort of a boring relationship only to be cheated on when she least expects it, has a fender bender with her first love on the Long Island Expressway, and realizes she is wildly attracted to her new boss, Noah. Against the warnings of Miya and her nagging mother, Lainie nestles in to Noah's world of custom suits and imported cars. She even lets him in on her one-night stand with Jake. She never (ok—hardly) suspects he could one day be the cause of all their undoing…

Synopsis: While rebuilding her life after escaping an abusive boyfriend, twenty-five-year-old Kat Shergill doesn't expect to find a piece of forgotten movie history during a bout of retail therapy. But there it is: a coil of long-lost silent film tucked inside an antique from an estate sale. Unfortunately, Peter, the handsome host of the sale, disappears before Kat has a chance to return it to him.
Curious, Kat watches the strip and is shocked to witness the brutal murder of a famous 1920′s star by a fellow actor. Against Kat's wishes, the head of the department leaks the story of her valuable discovery to the media. Although she has no way of contacting Peter, who she keeps thinking about, guilt at being unable to return the piece, and unwillingness to reveal her idol as a murderer gnaws at her.
After a news article cites Kat as the film's owner, she's followed by a strange white car, her apartment is broken into, and she learns why some mysteries should never be messed with.

Synopsis: Marian Caldwell is a thirty-six year old television producer, living her dream in New York City. With a fulfilling career and satisfying relationship, she has convinced everyone, including herself, that her life is just as she wants it to be. But one night, Marian answers a knock on the door . . . only to find Kirby Rose, an eighteen-year-old girl with a key to a past that Marian thought she had sealed off forever. From the moment Kirby appears on her doorstep, Marian's perfectly constructed world—and her very identity—will be shaken to its core, resurrecting ghosts and memories of a passionate young love affair that threaten everything that has come to define her.
For the precocious and determined Kirby, the encounter will spur a process of discovery that ushers her across the threshold of adulthood, forcing her to re-evaluate her family and future in a wise and bittersweet light. As the two women embark on a journey to find the one thing missing in their lives, each will come to recognize that where we belong is often where we least expect to find ourselves—a place that we may have willed ourselves to forget, but that the heart remembers forever.

Wild tiger populations
Wild tiger populations have reduced dramatically in number. They have fragmented into many small populations across Asia and are still declining almost everywhere.
No one really knows just how many tigers there are in the wild now but the best estimate is that there are about:
- 300 Sumatran tigers
- 300 Malayan tigers
- 450 Amur tigers
- 550 Indochinese tigers
- 1,600 Bengal tigers (much less than previously thought)
There are only around 3,200 tigers in the wild.
Three sub-species already lost
The 20th century witnessed the extinction of three sub-species of tiger. The Bali tiger became extinct in the 1940s, the Caspian tiger went in the 70s and the world lost the Javan tiger in the 80s. These sub-species of tiger have been lost forever.
Stopping this decline
ZSL is determined to not let the Sumatran tiger be the next to go extinct. Through our field work in Indonesia and a our world-class breeding centre at ZSL London Zoo we aim to help to give Sumatran tigers a future and reverse their alarming population decline.
Give Tigers a Tomorrow
Visit Tiger Territory at ZSL London Zoo and your ticket will help ZSL to continue working in Sumatra to save this charismatic carnivore.

New Audi A3 revealed with big car tech
NEW YORK--Audi showed off the cabin tech for the new A3 model at 2012 CES, setting the first milestone for what looked like a highly anticipated update. And while Audi put the updated A3 in sedan and Sportback form on the stage in Geneva and Paris last year, it is only now that we get to see the U.S. version of the car.
However, shown as a 2015 model at the New York International Auto Show, the A3 will not hit showrooms until next year.
The new A3 will come out in far different form than what most Americans … Read more

of Pharmacology & Toxicology |
Major aspects of sleep-wake regulation are genetically controlled. We are interested in genotype-dependent differences in sleep, waking performance and response to sleep- and wake-promoting pharmacological agents. To elucidate molecular mechanisms of sleep-wake regulation in health and disease, we combine and integrate methods of human genetics, selective pharmacology, multi-channel EEG, neuropsychological/cognitive testing and brain imaging.
1 senior researcher, 3 PhD students, 1 M.Sc. student
In a convergent series of studies, we demonstrated that the adenosinergic neuromodulator/receptor system plays a key role in sleep-wake regulation in humans. We identified a genetic variation in the gene encoding adenosine deaminase that modifies functional features of sleep structure and the sleep EEG. Subsequent pharmaco-genetic studies demonstrated that adenosinergic mechanisms contribute to inter-individual variation in the detrimental effects of sleep loss on neurobehavioral and cognitive functions, as well as in sleep disruption after caffeine consumption. These findings suggest that the andenosinergic system may provide new targets for pharmacological improvement of disordered sleep and vigilance, which are highly prevalent in society. Our current studies also extend to monoaminergic and glutamatergic mechanisms of sleep-wake regulation. They showed that a functional polymorphism in the gene encoding catechol-O-methyltransferase potently modulates the efficacy of modafinil on vigor, well-being, executive functioning and attention after sleep loss. This polymorphism also predicts inter-individual variation in brain alpha oscillations in young men, but does not affect established EEG markers of sleep regulation in recovery sleep.
To investigate pathophysiological underpinnings of disturbed sleep-wake functions in patients with neurological diseases, we are part of an inter-disciplinary network of neuroscientists and clinical researchers. In projects spanning from the molecular level to sleep-wake behavior and cognitive task performance to clinical sleep neurophysiology, we recently provided new insights into sleep-wake disturbances in patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and narcolepsy. In a collaborative effort, we examined whether high and lower cognitive abilities are associated with individual differences in sleep duration and distinct features of sleep. Sleep-wake regulation and EEG patterns are studied in cognitively well-characterized children and adults with distinct genotypes in neuromodulatory systems related to cognition and sleep, and in patients with cortical and thalamic stroke. The studies will show whether neuronal plasticity and sleep are functionally related in humans, and possibly contribute to improved patient care in the future.
We aim to identify further genetic contributions to sleep, sleep-wake regulation and individual responses to pharmacological agents interfering with the quality of waking and sleep.

February 7, 2013 Prospect ProfileJoe BensonBlessed with obnoxiously loud tools, Twins outfielder Joe Benson has found his way onto Baseball Prospectus's Twins rankings on multiple occasions. To start, here are the strength and weakness write-ups on Benson from each of his appearances on Kevin Goldstein's top 10 lists. The Good: On a pure tools level, Benson compares with anyone in the system. He has plus raw power and was beginning to show some signs of tapping into it during the last few weeks of the season. He's also an above-average runner with solid range in center field and good acceleration on the base paths. Despite his overall struggles, he showed a patient approach at the plate as he adjusted to the leadoff role. The Bad: Benson is still raw in many aspects of the game. He has both a long swing and a hitch in his swing mechanics that combine to limit his ability to make contact. He needs to improve his reads and routes in the outfield, as well as his base-stealing ability. The Good: On tools alone, Benson ranks with nearly any outfielder in a system rich with them. He has above-average raw power, plus-plus speed, covers more ground in center field than Ben Revere, and his arm also rates as plus. A former football star in high school, he brings that gridiron mentality to every plate appearance while maintaining good plate discipline.

The Rocket Summer is a one man band. Literally. The Rocket Summer frontman (well...only man) Bryce Avary sings vocals in addition to playing guitar, bass, piano, violin, drums, and a plethora of other instruments during recording sessions for his band, though he tours live with a group of high school friends. As impressive as this is, it is even more impressive how good it sounds. Bryce's expressive, falsetto vocals float above restrained drums, lilting piano lines, and passionate power pop guitar chords so effortlessly that you'd hardly imagine every aspect of his music was recorded independently and spliced together in post-production.
Raised in Corleyville, Texas, Bryce started playing guitar, then began playing other instruments in middle school. At age 16, after gaining regional popularity by performing in shows around Dallas, Bryce released his first self titled solo album to local music stores. Naming his "band" The Rocket Summer (after a short story in a 1950 science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury), the album sold well and The Rocket Summer became a popular request on Texas radio station KDGE.
Following positive coverage in music magazines, Bryce released his first full-length album, Calendar Days, in 2003, under an independent California label. The album sold relatively well, with Bryce's uplifting vocals and expert musicianship shining through on tracks like Skies So Blue. A devout Christian, Bryce's lyrics are inspirational and family friendly without being overtly preachy.
His next two albums, 2005's Hello, Good Friend and 2007's Do You Feel, are even more musically complex than Calendar Days. Using brass instruments, violins, and even his little sister's 6th grade orchestra, these albums mix Bryce's expressive, operatic vocals (Rat Pack) with music that is decidedly more aggressive (So Much Love) and daring than on Calendar Days. The Rocket Summer, along with tourmates Anberlin and Switchfoot, have become involved with To Write Love On Her Arms, a Florida-based nonprofit group dedicated to dealing with teen depression and substance abuse, and are touring aggressively in support of TRLOHA across America throughout 2008.
Texas native Bryce Avary, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer mastermind behind The Rocket Summer, has accomplished enough for someone a lot older, as he prepares to record his fifth full-length studio album. "We're not talking simple acoustic solo stuff here. The music Bryce Avary makes as The Rocket Summer is lush, explosively catchy and artful power pop that hints at a new Brian Wilson or Prince in the making. Keep an eye out on this one." - AustinCityLimits.com

The Rocket Summer is the rock solo-project of Stephen Bryce Avary who is based in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Avary is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer. He writes and produces every song on his records, as well as plays every instrument on them.
Inspired by such bands like Archers Of Loaf, Jets To Brazil and Superchunk, he has released four studio albums and several EPs. His most recent release, Of Men and Angels, held the #1 Top Album spot on iTunes upon its release on February 23, 2010. AP Magazine, in April 2008, called him one of "100 bands you need to know."

The death of a school superintendent has left more than one community stunned. Keith Reed Jr. was the head of the Clymer Central School District, but spent most of his career working in the Southern Tier, in schools like Sherburne-Earlville, Horseheads and Campbell-Savona. YNN's Ryan Whalen has more on the ongoing investigation into his death.
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Sheriff's Deputies are investigating the death of Keith Reed Jr. as a homicide. However, neighbors are shocked that anyone would shoot and kill the superintendent.
Chautauqua County Sheriff's deputies visited Reed's home after colleagues reported that he did not show up to a conference in Saratoga Springs over the weekend. They were not able to find him on Sunday, but when they returned to the home on Monday morning, Reed's body was located outside of his house in Clymer.
"I'm not aware of anything like this in recent history happening in Clymer. It's a small town. It's a small community, a tight knit community," said Dave Foley, Chautauqua County District Attorney.
Reed had multiple gunshot wounds when he was found and investigators said it was an apparent homicide.
"In a small town like this and with hunting season coming up, I mean you hear people shooting all the time, so it wouldn't be an uncommon thing," noted Kristin Rhebergen, a neighbor. "I mean, we didn't hear anything, but if I was to hear someone shooting right now, I wouldn't think anything of it."
Residents said they are shaken by the crime, but also shaken by who the victim was.
Rhebergen added, "I've never heard anything but good about him. So it's a complete shock to find out that's happened to him."
Reed has been the Superintendent of Clymer School District since November of 2011.
"If you had a problem, you could go straight to him and he would work it out with you, just very happy towards people," remembered Brittany Reitz, a Clymer Central School senior.
According to students, he was a hands-on administrator.
"He was really nice. I liked him a lot," said Olivia White, a student.
"I was devastated and I was just shocked that someone like him would go. He was such a good person and had such a big impact on our school," added Reitz.
News of Reed's death has spread fast through the town, which has fewer than 2,000 people.
"Everyone knew him. So yeah, it hurt worse, but at the same time, we were all together so we could deal with it together," noted Reitz.
Most of the extracurricular activities were canceled at the Clymer Central School District on Monday. Students said school was optional and the district is offering resources to help them cope.

This bed and breakfast is fantastic my husband my self and my young son came across this beautiful old house last year on our travels but little did we know we were in for a real treat. Lois is just so lovely she and her husband cannot do enough for you the house is just perfect so relaxing and welcoming. That is why we had to come back this year for longer. It was just like coming home Lois and Jon went out of there way to make us feel special. This will be my first stop when I come back to Florida. What can I say thank you so much.

I contacted the Horse and Chaise the day before arrival , I mentioned I will be coming in a few hours early and they were ready for the early arrival they went out of their ways to have the room ready which was a one bedroom condo all the rooms have historic themes of Venice,FL , keys of the house were given after the tour of the property , great landscape , relaxing back yard big trees , nice sitting areas on the front and back porch. I would go back and stay at the Horse and Chaise . I'm from Orlando,FL and I work at a huge timeshare resort in the Orlando area and I was impressed!

First time staying in Venice and are frequent b&b guests all over the country. Lois is wonderful! Full of information about the town, has a lovely b&b inn, cooks great breakfasts, and a charming hostess. Felt like we were visiting a friend! Location is within walking distance to the main street and the beach is minutes away. Our room was very comfortable and we plan to come again!

We enjoyed our stay at the Horse and Chaise, The room was comfortable and our host was both personal and professional. The Inn is located on a quiet street, a a two block walk from the center of town. We would recomend the Inn without reservation. The rating system above indicates that it met our expectations which is what one really hopes for. No big surprises and a comfortable place to stay

I have a friend who visits from Michigan every year and his is our second visit to this B&B. I have to say that our stay was outstanding in every way - the meals, visiting with the owners and other gueses (very entertaining conversations), the room was delightfully decorated and very beautiful. This is by far the CLEANEST B&B we have ever visited. Not a speck of dust or dirt in any corner! The owners take great pride in the appearance of their place and seem to enjoy their guests.

My second stay. The property and hosts are outstanding. The atmosphere is always upbeat and the breakfasts are delicious. The property is creatively decorated and spotlessly maintained.

Found Horse & Chaise just as outstanding as I did 8 years ago. The hosts ere the same and very gracious! The accommodations and food perfectly matched my expectations.

Our stay at the Horse and Chaise Inn was delightful. John and Lois are wonderful hosts and attract the most delightful guests. We so enjoyed our conversations over breakfast with our dining partners on the two mornings we were there. The location of the inn is ideal for those visiting Venice - the neighborhood is tranquil and an easy walk to downtown Venice which is loaded with shops and restaurants. In addition, you have easy access to Rte. 41 which easily takes you to Sarasota, Siesta Key, etc.

A wonderful place to stay, terrific hosts, great food! We received the warmest of welcomes on our arrival. Lois is a sweetheart and with her husband Jon, we were made to feel very much at home. So....if you're looking for a B&B on the west coast of Florida, this is it! We thoroughly enjoyed our 20th anniversary at this location. Also, Venice, FL is a great and quaint little town. It's just a short walk from the B&B to the town center. We received excellent recommendations from Lois on places for dinner. Ed and Holly

We are so appreciative that this B&B allows pets. We are spending 3 months in FL and have our large dog to consider. The owners were very welcoming and the room was definitely private and pet friendly. Breakfast was excellent and the company was great (we had the place to ourselves for the nite!) Recommended highly. Venice is definitely worth the trip.

A historic hotel in the heart of Venice. Lois Steketee is one of the most hospitable hosts and it was a pleasure staying there. We were offered bikes when we first arrived, they are the perfect vehicle for discovering the beautiful sites of Venice, a gem on Florida's west coast. The room was fantastic and Lois cooks you a fantastic breakfast in the morning. If you are visiting Venice for a night or a week or more this is the place to stay! Fiona, Hollywood Beach, Florida

We have told so many friends about this wonderful place.

We have one regret about our stay at this charming B&B. It was too short. This was our first visit to Venice but will not be our last. Our room was especially appealing with the model train that WORKED. Breakfast was delicious and recommendations for food in downtown area were spot on. Lunch at Back Eddys was scrumptious and dinner at Burgandy Square outstanding (best manhattan clam chowder ever-homemade). Delightful!

The owners of this b&b made you feel at home the moment you got there. They explained how to get around and what to do and see daily. The rooms all had different themes of the Venice area and were clean and well kept. Food was great, even accommodated my special diet requirements. I would recommend this home to anyone and everyone. Am looking forward to coming back again and again and again.

this B&B was very clean and the owners were very professional and nice. We've been to B&B's before & were disappointed with the limited choice of breakfast and the quantity.

We had heard that Venice was a nice city to visit in Florida so we decided to spend a couple of days there while on vacation. We have stayed at B & B's in the past and this one is definitely one of our favorites. As we entered the kitchen we were warmly greeted by Lois and John. Lois was doing some preparations for the next days breakfast, but she stopped what she was doing to kindly greet us and show us around. Lois showed us to our room which was very clean and neat and nicely decorated. She gave us a map of the city and pointed out some places of interest, restaurants, and walking directions to get to town. That evening we walked into town which was only about 1 1/2 blocks away for dinner. They have several nice restaurants to choose from. The next morning we were greeted by the other guests and sat down to a delicious breakfast. We would definitely stay here again when ever we are in Florida. One other thing the weather was perfect we were here in February and the weather was great. Didn't miss Ohio one bit.

Loved everything about the Horse and Chaise Inn. Jon and Lois were fabulous, very accommodating, and great cooks! Location was perfect in a quiet and very convenient neighborhood, within easy walking distance to historic downtown and shopping/dining. Facility was beautiful and immaculate. This will be our "go to" place when we visit the Venice area in the future!

This B & B is in an excellent location within walking distance of down town Venice with it's wide choice of restaurants and shops.The hosts, Lois and Jon, were very welcoming. There were facilities for tea, coffee, soft drinks and cookies 24/7. There were also bicycles available for guests along with free internet use. The breakfast period was rather short, between 08:15 and 09:00, and had a limited choice. However it was freshly cooked. We didn't like the fact that there was no door on the bathroom. Having said that, I would recommend this as a very good place to stay in Venice.

We've stayed before and always loved the service and the accomodations. Quiet section of town--off the beaten path. This time we stayed in the detached Garden Room and that's the best. Food is always excellent, especially the Eggs Benedict. The extra touches--newspapers, 24/7 cookie jar--are excellent as well.

Had a great birthday weekend at the Inn. The hosts were so welcoming and the room was spacious and very clean.

My wife and I found this excellent B&B by accident on the web. Looking for a quick -- short notice -- get away in a quiet area but close enough to get out, we stumbled on this wounderful spot. We were greated by a warm and welcome couple and found the stay to be much more pleasant than we would have expected. The owners were open to provide some suggestions and opportunities for my wife and I to get out and have fun, while offering a spot to come back to and relax and be together. The hospitality was outstanding! We will definetly be back!

Apparently the host and hostess do not have their act together for scheduling rooms...our stay was impromptu, although known by the husband...a French family showed up with a web reservation and the guests had to do the room "math"....make sure you confirm and reconfirm. Otherwise, a wonderful stay ... the host and hostess are lively and extremely nice. We'll go back in a heartbeat!

In March 2011 we had a one night stay at this B&B. We should have stayed longer as it felt like we'd come home but with better service! Jon and Lois are charming. Lois really made us feel at home and her knowledge of the area is invaluable. Everywhere is kept beautifully and breakfast was delicious (apparently it's different every morning). The attention to detail is wonderful - like a jar of cookies available to be eaten! Cold drinks in the fridge, bottles of water for your room and the use of the kitchen to make sandwiches for our onward journey. The gardens are delightful, a lovely deck area to sit on in the evenings, and it's positioned well to walk to the shops and restaurants. Beaches in the area are beautiful and we even spotted dolphins and found sharks teeth. All in all this place comes highly recommended. Liz & Fred from Holland

If you know Venice or if you don't, the Horse and Chaise is a great place to stay. It's easy walking distance to downtown, parks and the beach but in a quiet neighborhood.

The bed was extremely comfy, the room and bathroom were very clean. The hostess was a bit intense, but nice , HOWEVER the breakfasts were horrendously awful. After the first morning of something with mushrooms and kale and curdled cream in our coffee, we decided that anyone can have an off day and returned the next morning full of hope. Hope was immediately dashed when we were served instant oatmeal or in this case gruel. On our third and last morning we took a pass and wandered downtown for a heavenly cup of coffee and a sumptuous breakfast.

Recently we had the pleasure of staying at the Horse & Chaise in Venice Florida. As soon as I walked in the door I felt like I was home. The house was adorable , the owner Lois greeted us as soon as we came in the door and I felt like I was at Grandma's. She talked to us about the house, the rooms, the history of Venice and I was immediately in love. Once settled into our room ,(which we stayed in the Patriot Room and everythign about that was perfect) we took a walk to the main street ( about a stone's throw away) and fell even deeper for this small town. I love community based places and this certainly was one. Long story short my dearest friends were to get married ...on the beach no less and in January. Well, needless to say it turned out to be 32 degrees on the beach and the bride was so upset. Who comes to our resuce but Lois and Jon the inn's owners. They were so ..beyond words wonderful. I thanked them profusely and Lois said no problem. But not only did she open her house to us , the bride, the groom and 30 + guests, she decorated, helped us to make this a memorable event. So if you ask me where would I stay the next time I visit Venice? I would say without a blink Horse & Chaise and we love you Lois & Jon ............. we WILL be back !

Beautiful modern outdoor light at an affordable price
Solid construction and has an optional backplate to cover up existing boxes. Has up and down lights that provide just the right amount of light. I searched and searched for a simple contemporary light that wasn't an outrageous amount of money. This light is perfect for what I was looking for! By:S Jones , Homeowner (Reston, VA)
Great light for the price
Very nice product and yet not pricey! Appears sturdy and I have 8 of these shining through my corridor! The bulbs are also included which is a nice thing. By:Vincent Y. , Designer (Los Altos, CA)
This terrific up-down sconce is perfect for architectural lighting in hallways.
In looking for an up-down sconce to mount on the hemlock posts that grace the hallway of my loft apartment, I found the AWL.03 to be the perfect solution. The mounting options offered the ideal solution to situate them right into the wood beams, so their up-down light perfectly accents the texture of the wood and fill the floor and ceiling the right tone and shape. Even my electrician was impressed at how well they mounted and delivered just the right visual effect. The clean, modern look and stainless steel contrasts well against the old industrial materials of my loft. By:mercurious , Homeowner (Brooklyn, NY)
sturdy indoor hallway lamp
very mordern, great for minimalist decor, very please with the quality By:Oliver T. , Homeowner (sunnyvale, ca)
Beautiful light, very well made. Looks far more expensive than it is! By:Berkeley , Homeowner (Oakland)
The three outdoor lights are very attractive although they're a little small for the large wall they're on.
I can only blame myself since I had the measurements and could have done 3 templates to check the proportions. By:Sylvil O. , Homeowner (Calgary Alberta)
Appearance great and easy to install!
By:Diane B. , Homeowner (Overland Park, Kansas)
A very well machined light.
I installed this light in a two story atrium and it has provided wonderful accent lighting as well as a clean look. By:Kevin L. , Architect (St. Louis, Mo, USA)
Just as described, beautiful.
By:Julianna N. (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)
Very well constructed and cool looking light, just a little small for commercial applications
I bought this light because it was spec-ed by our architect for a retail building we are doing in New Jersey. The light was reasonably priced, especially for it's quality construction. When I read the cut sheet I was worried it was too small so I ordered just one. When I got the light it indeed was too small for our application. Would look great on a large residential type structure, just a little small for us. We ended up returning it. I would use LumenArt again though, they have great stuff expecially the Alume collection. By:Kevin C. , Designer (Montclair, NJ, USA)
nice design clean look
I really like the design. my architecht highlighted this as one of several options but decided to go with the AWL 03 due to the design. By:Tony K. , Homeowner (san francisco)
Small but contemporary and clean
We installed this fixture on our back deck. I knew from the reviews that it was quite small and didn't give off blazing amounts of light. And this proved to be true once installed. In retrospect I might have purchased two to have a little more light, but the fixture itself is quite nice and gives off a warm glow up and down. It is truly an accent light though - if you are looking to illuminate a floor or wall area greater than 3'x3', you might want to find something else. By:B.P. , Architect (Brooklyn)
Not as bright as expected
There is a 'white' lining/filter inside the glass opening of this fixture, which disperse the light almost horizontally so the light does not extend far from the lamp itself. By:Michael T. , Homeowner (WA)
a truly sleek and beautiful light
We purchased this light as exterior accent lighting for a new home we bought. By:Peter F. , Homeowner (San Francisco, CA)
a real beauty
great light By:Peter F. , Homeowner (San Francisco, CA) Great look for a timber frame interior. By:Nancy J. , Designer
well made, perfect for what we needed. gives off plenty of light.
product in well made and well designed. up/down light feature was perfect for what we needed. gives off plenty of light. By:Scott S. , Designer (hoboken nj)
Great Looking Wall Light
The one drawback to the mini-box is that it has to be inserted into the wall. The electrician's desire was for this to be done during framing, not after finished wall had been completed. Wall center was not exactly where stud mounting could be installed easily. By:Geoff D. , Homeowner (Austin, TX, USA)
Nice sleek unique design, however too small.
This is exactly the look I want for either side of my garage - a modern, up/down lit light with clean lines but it's too small, not enough light and I'd love to find it in a bigger size. Was easy to install and the perfect design for me. By:Karen R. , Homeowner (lake oswego, or,usa)
Perfect design, clean lines, a little too small.
I love this light - it just doesn't give off enough light or have as great a design impact as I'd like due to size. It's well made and just the right amount of different yet classic for me. By:Karen R. , Homeowner (lake oswego, or,usa)
simple and beautiful
This light looks great without being overpowering. It blends perfectly with our mid-century modern exterior but would look great with any modern decor. By:Sarah S. , Homeowner
Stunning and Sturdy!
These lights are a beatiful accent for the cultured stone wall near the hot tub! By:Lana M. , Homeowner (Otisville, NY)
Modern and Beautiful!
These lights go perfectly with my outside decor. Soft By:Lana M. , Homeowner (Orange County, NY)
I was pleased with the finish and craftsmanship of the product.
My wife and I are at the start of building a new home. This light fixture is just what we where looking for. We ordered one so as to see if it would work with your design. We were very please craftsmanship and finish of the fixture. We will be ordering them for our new home. By:John S. , Designer (Montauk, N.Y. 11954 USA) Customer Questions:Q: AWL 03 junction box vs 4" plate A: Regarding which option to choose for the AWL.03- The miniature junction boxes are typically chosen if you are starting from scratch- ie- there is no light or junction box currently installed in the location. The 4 inch plate is for retro fits- ie if you currently have a light installed there and it is using a standard junction box, you will need the plate to cover the box. If you are unsure about these, your electrician should be able to tell you which application suits your needs. As for the light output, there are two lamps, one shines up and the other shines down. Q: Can the AWL be wired for two switches? A: Each socket has it's own wires that are joined in the back box. The EC can simply separate the wires so they can be switched independently.

Modeling amps and their ilk can make recording guitar, bass, and other instruments easier as well, especially if you're recording while others nearby are trying to sleep. As much as I don't like to admit it, they do a great job of channeling the sound of the many vintage amps I own and record regularly. In the final mix, anyone would find it nearly impossible to say with accuracy which guitar was recorded with an amp and which one wasn't.
When you rent time at a recording studio, you're paying for a controlled acoustic environment. Recording at home is another story. Remember to turn off phones and any other noisemakers in your recording area. If you hear a noise, so will the microphone. If a room booms or echoes, those reflections can be diminished by hanging packing blankets, comforters, or bedspreads on extra boom stands, positioned like a big 'T'. You can even make isolation booths with them for recording vocals and other acoustic instruments. Having a blanket over the amp may not make
it quieter in the room, but it might keep other unwanted sounds out of the mic on the amp. "Bagging the kick drum" (draping a packing blanket over the mic and the front side of the drum) is another common studio technique.
If you thought Guitar Acquisition Syndrome was bad, Gear Acquisition Syndrome can be exponentially worse. Words like boutique, vintage, reissue, and classic can bring on bouts of lust for recording equipment we must have to capture that elusive thing called "great sound." Buy quality whenever possible, and that means spending a little more sometimes, but many of the newer budget items do a great job—and in some cases deliver results that exceed vintage gear. Software plug-ins emulate a lot of the vintage standards that recording engineers and producers demand. Although some are pricey, they are a lot less expensive than buying one each of the real vintage units, and you can usually use more
than one instance of them in a session without having to pay for extra for each one.
Reading articles about recording techniques and interviews with those who record for a living can be extremely valuable. I'm frequently asked, "What's the most important thing to making a good recording?" Sir George Martin said, "All you need is ears." My answer is, "A good performance, a good-sounding instrument, and a good microphone, in that order." Great gear makes the job easier, but you can get the results you want with less—you just might have to work a little harder. It's not the machine, but the monkey who runs it. Knowing what to use and when to use it comes with experience. There are no hard-and-fast rules, and even if there were, well, you know what they say about rules. Besides, if it sounds good, it is good.
If you have questions about specific aspects of recording, email me at: email@example.com, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Both teams will have no shortage of motivation with France needing a big victory to put pressure on leaders England while the Azzurri will be desperate to get off the mark in the 2011 Championship, having come desperately close against both Ireland and Wales at home.
A late Ronan O'Gara drop goal denied them a first victory over Ireland while Wales made them pay for failing to convert bags of second-half territory and possession into points in their 24-16 defeat.
Mallett makes seven changes in total from that side with hooker Carlo Festuccia, one of Italy's four Racing Metro players, getting his first start of the Championship at hooker.
And the 30-year-old says Italy know exactly what to expect from a France team licking their wounds after an eight-game Six Nations winning streak came to an end at Twickenham in Round Three.
"I face their players every week and I know their quality and what they are capable of," said Festuccia who will be winning his 50th cap.
"France will come to Rome ready to respond to all the criticism they have received this week from the French media and their fans following their defeat to England at Twickenham.
"They will bring out their best against us.
"And if we give them a chance, they will counter-attack from their own half.
"We can expect a big battle, especially from a physical standpoint."
Festuccia's Racing teammate Andrea lo Cicero joins him in the front row alongside Martin Castrogiovanni and Carlo del Fava comes into the second row.
Fly-half Luciano Orquera again plays musical chairs with Kris Burton while Gonzalo Garcia returns after a back injury to form a midfield pairing with Gonzalo Canale.
The highly-rated Tommaso Benvenuti comes onto the wing with the versatile Andrea Masi, who has played in every backline position bar scrum-half for the Azzurri, replacing Luke McLean at full-back.
Marc Lievremont too cannot resist the temptation to shuffle his pack although has surprised many by keeping faith with No.8 Sebastian Chabal.
Instead Imanol Harinordoquy makes way to accommodate the return Julien Bonnaire on the flank, while Maxime Medard also makes his comeback from injury at full-back as Clement Poitrenaud drops to the bench.
Prop Thomas Domingo drops out of the team as the grizzled Sylvain Marconnet gets a starting berth; and, in an enforced change, Morgan Parra will renew half-back duties with Francois Trinh-Duc after Dimitri Yachvili was a late injury pull out.
While several commentators have questioned the decision to keep Chabal and winger Yoann Huget in the team, Lievremont maintains they deserve a second chance.
He said: "I watched the (England) game again. Chabal's performance, as well as Clement Poitrenaud's and Yoann Huget's, did not seem disastrous to me."

My Profile
Lori McKenna
Boston-native Lori McKenna grew up in a household filled with the rhythm and pleasure of good music, some of it happily supplied by her brothers. Music was almost always a part of family get-togethers. With such a background, it's little wonder that when McKenna grew up, she chose to become a professional singer and songwriter. In 1998, McKenna finished up work on a debut offering, an album titled Paper Wings and Halo. It was an impressive first release, filled with folk-flavored numbers like "What's One More Time," "Would You Love Me Then," "Paying the Price," and "Hardly Speaking a Word." The album won McKenna numerous rave reviews from critics and was picked as one of the Top Ten albums of the year by the Boston Globe. She has also been named as New Artists of the Year and Outstanding New Contemporary Folk Act. For 2000, McKenna began recording a sophomore album, Pieces of Me, released in early 2001. "Fireflies," "Never Die Young," and "Pieces of Me" are three of the tunes that fans will find on this offering. She had a few talented guests help out on some of the songs, including artists Kris Delmhorst, Richard Shindell, Mike Rivard, Ellis Paul, Billy Baird, David Goodrich, and Jennifer Kimball. The Kitchen Tapes appeared in 2003 from Gyrex, followed a year later by Bittertown on Signature Records. Unglamorous was released by Warner Brothers in 2007. ~ Charlotte Dillon, Rovi
I love her song two soldiers coming home.
Regarding this comment: ARTHUR E. WASHER HI THIS SINGER WAS FAMOUS WAY BACK IN 1979 EASY LISTENING I STILL LIKE HER SONGS
I call bull - She was born in 1968 so are you trying to say she was famous at age 11???
Talented and beautiful and a Mom to 5 kids - but not famous at 11 years old. She became a songwriter in 1995 and released her first album in 2000. Check your facts Arthur...

I love her......she ' s been singing about my life....
LOVE her...can't believe I've never heard of her before Pandora! I really hope she's famous by now...
My wife and I saw her in Atlanta when she opened up for David Wilcox...Dav i d came out and watched her entire set, sitting in the audience. I've never seen a headline act sneak into the crowd to watch his own opening act...says something about both of them, I suspect. She was incredible, and we've been huge fans ever since. Go see her live if you get the chance.
i used to see laurie when my husband and i started dating at club passim in cambridge.. we now have been married for 7 years and i still love her! Her song writting is brilliant and nice to know someone out there can put a pen to my soul...
I first heard Lori on Chronicle (a half hour show in Boston with local features). She was singing and playing the guitar in her house while her little one bounced up and down in a doorway jumper. I thought she was so down-to-eart h and amazing, considering her incredible talent.
Sounds like she's singing while lying on a really strong vibrating massage chair.
first heard her on Americana, her "Bible song" is the best on that great album. I would've bet that high lonesome sound was right out of the hills of Tenessee. She is unique.
oliver.closo v
I have yet to find a song that Lori McKenna sings that I don't love. she sounds like a cross between Stevie Nicks and the Dixie Chicks, but with out the bad elements of those respective voices. Her sound is edgy and clean, and carries a world of emotional undertones. She is a priceless gem.
It's too bad that Faith Hill got credit for Fireflies because McKenna's version is so much better! You can tell that she writes her own songs based on the way she interprets each one with her voice. I love her!
Powerfull and crisp voice, she's great.

Sorry, meant to say "she's" (not she'd). For some reason it won't let me edit my posts lately.
This "photo by Howard" bullshit has to be the most mental of all the wacky annoyances these two have cooked up over the years.
Are photos for social media a legit business deduction?

Here's all our Team's SN2S badges atm: Badges loves you linux crunchers. IIRC supremeoverload is also a linux cruncher.
Nope, can't take credit for that. This is a tool that Seti.Germany have on their site for crunchers. The link below is for our Team and shows every single badge we have collectively earnt and per project. Of the many stats I go OCD about, this one is actually kinda pretty http://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/team_badges.php?team=S8TLJ6TFV1
That little tool is not up to date. :shadedshu That raises the question of how often do they update? Here's another SN2S among others.
Think it's updated whenever the first person of the day does it. Could be wrong. So if someone updates it in the morning it won't show any new badges from the afternoon. It's not automatic
Show it off buddy. The cancer projects are the ones that many value the most due to it's unfortunate brush with people's lives. This thread is to celebrate the research we've contributed, so let's see it bro

Medical expense fund is established to help Haerling family A local fund has been set up to help with medical expenses for the family of Lewis-Clark State College womens basketball player Nikki Haerling. An account, called The Relief Fund for the Haerling Family, has been set up by LCSC and the Warrior womens basketball team at FirstBank Northwest in Lewiston and Clarkston. Donations can be made at either Lewiston FirstBank Northwest branch, 921 F St. or 444 Thain Rd., or at the Clarkston branch, located at 1300 16th Ave. Donations also can be made at the LCSC Athletic Department office, which is located inside the Activity Center, next to the main east-side entrance. Members of Haerlings family were en route from Chelan to Saturdays game at the Activity Center when the Dodge Caravan they were riding in was involved in a serious automobile accident about 60 miles north of Moses Lake. Haerlings grandfather and younger sister died in the accident while her mother, father and grandmother were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where they remain hospitalized. The three are recovering and are expected to be released in the coming weeks. The relief fund will help the family with its medical bills. Haerling left for Seattle Saturday, prior to LCSCs game against Montana Tech. Given the choice, LCSC players opted to play the game and won 80-63. Haerling, a 5-foot-7 junior point guard, started the first 22 games of the season for the Warriors and is averaging a team-best 15.5 points. She also leads the team with 37 3-pointers and a 35.2 percent shooting percentage from beyond the arc. Shes also second on the team in assists and third in steals. She has been named the Frontier Conference Player of the Week three times, the latest on Monday after she scored 30 points in a win over University of Montana-Western last Thursday. This is Haerlings first year with the program after two years at Wenatchee Valley Community College. She was a four-year starter at Chelan High where she played for her father. She was the teams MVP her junior and senior seasons. Anyone wishing to send flowers can do so in care of Haerlings older sister, Jennifer Collins, 70 Apple Acres Road, Chelan, WA 98816. For more information on the fund, contact Jamie White, Director of Auxiliary Services at LCSC, at (208) 792-2863. |
