…watch your back
In a world of distractions, it seems almost everyone needs a little help winding down at the end of the day.
Lucky for us, the sound machine is there to help us nod off. But what sounds do most of us prefer?
Chirping crickets, rolling waves, and gentle breezes all sound lovely and serene, but according to a recent study, one in five adults found the sound of monkeys (and other jungle creatures) the most helpful when drifting off to sleep.
…and that's just how they want it.
Sure, it'll start out innocently enough, listening to the sounds of cute little monkey's to help you catch some Zzz's.
It is admittedly more exciting than counting sheep.
Next thing you know you're drifting off at the ape house…understandable.
Then one day you wake up from your peaceful slumber to find yourself living in a world where apes and primates rule over the whole of humanity…then what?!?!?
Thank goodness we don't find zombies soothing.
Don't think these apes act alone.
Those sleep machines didn't program themselves…or did they?
A robot recently unveiled in Japan can learn from past experiences.
It uses memory from previous tasks to learn for itself how to complete new ones.
With the help of the monkeys who knows what kind of world they could create?
It's horrible to even imagine.
So tonight as you set your sleep aid device, take a moment and consider your options and ask yourself, "A world ruled by monkey's or crickets…which future do I want?"

Heather Graham and Joseph Cross are starring in a new movie that is currently being filmed here in Miami entitled, "Son of Mourning". Also in the movie, Tim Curry, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Lorraine Bracco, Jesse Bradford, Stephen Root and Cristina Rosato. Directing this film is Yaniv Raz.
An advertising copywriter (Cross) returns to his hometown to deal with the aftermath of his parents' divorce, only to find his life further complicated when locals mistake him for spiritual guru. (IMDb)
What's up with everyone making movies about guru's? I'm not really too excited about this flick yet.
Is this a really bad hairpiece or is it just me?:

Public Health Nurse Recruitment Barriers Detailed
While public health nurses report high levels of job satisfaction, they are "extremely unsatisfied" with their salaries, lack education and training resources, and don't see opportunities to grow into leadership roles, survey data shows.
>>>Slideshow: Public Health Nurses RWJF Report |
Hospitals and health systems are not the only organizations grappling with the challenge of attracting and keeping nurses on staff. Public health departments are also struggling to fill vacant jobs.
Nurses are critically important to public and population health efforts, making up 24% of that workforce and providing much-needed clinic-based care and disease prevention services to individuals in roughly half of all state and local health departments.
But the public health sector's efforts to recruit and retain registered nurses have been hobbled by a number of factors. A report [PDF] , released last week by the University of Michigan Center of Excellence in Public Health Workforce and funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, quantifies the problem and its causes.
Among the reasons: While public health nurses surveyed recently report high levels of job satisfaction, they are "extremely unsatisfied" with their salaries, lack education and training resources, and don't see opportunities to grow into leadership roles.
Twenty-seven state health departments anticipate a shortage of public health RNs to meet population health needs within the next five years. Seventy-eight percent of those agencies cite retirement and noncompetitive wages as contributing factors, and 70% cite budget reductions as a factor.
On average it takes 10 weeks to fill an RN position at a state health department.

Testament Tickets
Legendary Californian thrash metallers Testament are considered to be one of the most influential in the scene. They were often compared to fellow bay area thrash pioneers Metallica, although never really found the same mainstream success.
After several line-up changes and a few reunions, Testament are still on the road.

How do you transport more than 40,000 aluminum pop tabs? The children at St. John's Episcopal Church preschool found out for themselves Friday morning.
The tabs, carefully counted and dropped into clean gallon milk jugs by Karen Tisdale and her husband, David, will soon be on their way to one of the four Ronald McDonald Houses in North Carolina. The homes provide families an inexpensive place to stay while their children are undergoing medical treatment at nearby hospitals. The tabs provide an easy way to raise money for a good cause.
That was the mission of the 80 youngsters at St. John's. When the preschool's board of directors was searching for a good fundraiser to support, Karen Tisdale remembered her days at East Carolina University.
"We collected the pop tabs,'' she said. "My dorm alone collected over 70,000. The school had over 100,000 in all.''
The goal for St. John's was 28,600, enough to provide for one night's stay at a Ronald McDonald House. When the Tisdales sat down to count the last 5,000 - a kind-hearted effort in patience if there ever was one - they realized the school had easily surpassed its goal.
Everyone, it seemed, became involved, including the entire St. John's congregation. A bonus to the project was that teachers took the opportunity to teach their little ones about recycling.
You have to think that might just be a lesson that lasts a lifetime.
Never did a can of Mountain Dew or Sprite mean so much.
It turns out you can get yourself in shape for the summer, while helping children maintain their literacy skills.
The folks at Gold's Gym in Hope Mills, Fayetteville and Southern Pines are joining in a statewide effort to send books home with children who might not other wise have good things to read over the summer.
Research shows that children who stop reading over the summer lose valuable skills. Reading just five books over the summer can prevent that loss.
State School Superintendent June Atkinson launched her Give Five, Read Five initiative in April and Cumberland County schools have joined in the campaign. Parents and business leaders are asked to donate five new or gently used books to local elementary schools so that children will leave school with five books they can read over the summer.
Ken Brown, operations manager for the gym, remembers loving to read as a kid.
He's offering a free membership for a week to anyone who donates five books. Participating Gold's Gyms are on Hope Mills Road, Bragg Boulevard and West Morganton Road in Southern Pines.
For more information, call 424-0678.
Speaking of working out for a good cause, the Rock the Block Fitness Party is scheduled for Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 444 W. Russell St.
There will be rock climbing, Olympic weightlifting, flow yoga, fencing and cross fit demonstrations, as well as the chance to win gym memberships. Proceeds benefit the Child Advocacy Center.

After jumping out to an early 7-0 lead, San Antonio quickly found themselves down 25-35 entering the second quarter, a quarter which would see starting shooting guard Manu Ginobili fracture the fifth metacarpal in his left hand. This injury is devastating for both the Spurs and their star lefty who, as Tony Parker pointed out post-game, "was playing at an All Star level." There will be plenty of time to discuss Ginobili's injury in depth (as I plan to do soon in my next article), so let's focus on last night's contest alone, and what, beyond the loss of Ginobili, is worth noting.
Road Woes
A very brief look at the Spurs' five games this season will reveal a pretty black and white blueprint for Silver & Black success; stay in San Antonio. In three home games this year the Spurs have blowout victories over their two toughest opponents thus far, the Grizzlies and Clippers, as well as the Utah Jazz, while their two road games have both ended in blowout losses to the Rockets and now the Timberwolves. Needless to say, if the Spurs can't find a way to start picking up victories away from home they could be in danger of being out of playoff contention by the time Manu returns.
DeJuan Blair's Defense
Throughout his time in San Antonio the biggest hole in DeJuan Blair's game has been his defense. So far this season Blair has looked improved on both ends, especially offense, but last night he got torched. Kevin Love absolutely abused Blair on pick and pop three pointers, particularly in the first quarter, time and again receiving ample space to shoot from Blair, even after knocking down three after three. Blair's help defense was also noticeably off last night. Much like taking a bad pursuit angle in football, Blair kept trying to meet driving guards around the free throw line, rather than lower in the paint, and more often than not was blown by as Ridnour, Rubio, or some other Minnesota guard finished easily at the rim. Obviously, listed very generously at 6'7'', no one expects him to be a shot blocking force, but Blair has to position himself better to at least be able to contest shots as they go up. Overall, DeJuan had a really rough game, going 2 of 9 from the field for just 6 points to go along with only 3 rebounds in 28 minutes. For the Spurs to be successful Blair must continue to improve defensively, return to rebounding the ball at the high rate he had in his first two seasons, and continue along the offensive pace he set in this season's first few games.
The Timberwolves Shooting
aka "Dr. K. Love (Or: How We Learn That Some Nights Teams Are Just On Fire and Win the Game)"
Minnesota ended the night shooting an amazing 58% from the field and 57% from three, but those numbers are misleading; the T-Wolves actually shot the ball way better. With about half the third quarter gone, the Timberwolves were still above 70% shooting from the field. Entering the fourth quarter Minnesota had hit 11 of 14 three pointers, a whopping 79%. No, these aren't typos. Wesley Johnson, for example, had been averaging just over 5 points per game on 31% shooting. Last night he went 6 of 6 for 14 points. Overall as a team, the Spurs weren't playing defense that terribly*. The younger Wolves, who were noticeably more energetic despite beating Dallas the night before, simply shared the ball to perfection. Playing the exact sort of balanced, pass-first, efficient and effective offensive that new coach Rick Adelman is known for, the home squad bombarded the visiting Spurs with bucket after bucket. When a team is playing that lights out, chances are they're going to win, and unlike last year when Minnesota twice surrendered big leads to San Antonio, the Timberwolves never really let the Spurs back in it as they coasted to a 106-96 win.
*Actually, on second thought, they were. Surrendering 35 first quarter and 66 first half points to a team on the second night of a back to back is pretty terrible.

We love when people love our products, and we wanted to share the latest reviews of our products with you from February and March.
"I love this face wash. I tried an all natural face wash from the internet that worked a little to prevent breakouts, but it was so rough on my face, considering I break out regularly, and it dried my face out. Since I have used this face wash, my acne has clear, my face is less red, and I break out rarely. My face also never feels dried out. I love it!! I will definitely continue to use this over any other face washes out there. I've been looking for products that work for quite a while now... and these are perfect products for clearing up my acne and keeping my skin beautiful!" - Casey

Sensitive Moisturizer Day/Night
"My face always has red spots and is super sensitive. Every lotion I've used for dry skin burns my face. THIS LOTION is AMAZING. It feels so good and I can tell it is working without the burning sensation from most other lotions. I have used a lot of products on my face, but when I went to get a facial and they used these products at the salon I got totally hooked and had to buy them for myself. I got this with the face wash and herbal toner. I love all of it." - Casey

Puff Away® Eye Gel
"I only give honest reviews, and after using this eye gel was amazed at the difference it makes! I have tried all the expensive gels, and a few secret mixes for minimizing my fine lines (why they call them fine lines and not bad lines I don't know!) and my skin has visibly tightened and looking younger.
This gel really does take away most of the puffiness under the eyes also! I was VERY pleased about that! I am ordering the Eye Intensive Moist gel to add to the effects of the Puff Away Eye Gel, as I now trust this company for great results! I am mature and although already lucky enough to have good skin, I shall use these new gels without wasting money on anything else!" - Donni De-Ville

Tuesday, December 31, 2013 (9:00 PM - 2:00 AM) Navy Pier - Crystal Gardens 700 East Grand Avenue, ChicagoIL
The Gardens provide the perfect setting for an urban fairytale. A one-acre botanical garden, hosted in a six-storey glass atrium with a majestic arched ceiling, and showcasing dozens live palm trees, opulent foliage, dangling twinkle lights, and playful "leapfrog" fountains, the venue offers the most breathtaking views of the city skyline, Lake Michigan, the Ferris wheel, and Navy Pier's Dock Street. As you step into the new year, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the most dazzling firework spectacle from a private terrace overlooking these gorgeous sights. And don't forget to take pictures, you rarely encounter a backdrop like this!
The lineup for the NYE party is just as impressive. DJ Kane and DJ D-Rose will be spinning your favourite beats until the wee hours, while a full premium open bar - more like over 20 of them to be more precise - will make sure you don't run out of energy and creativity on the dancefloor. Add a buffet of Phil Stefani signature small plates and hors d'oeuvres, a welcome speciality cocktail to warm you up upon entrance, and a magnificent countdown culminating in a complimentary champagne toast, and you get the perfect recipe for a NYE bash of epic proportions. Needless to say, everything will be delivered with absolutely impeccable service. Go VIP to cut the long entrance lines, have the first chance to grab a seating table, and enjoy extra open bar time!
Quite persuasive, right? That's what we thought! While the Gardens can host up to 2000 beautiful attendees, this is Chicago's most highly anticipated party of the season. Be quick to secure your spot and make sure you don't end up paying double, or worse, being left without a ticket! And please take advantage those amazing rates for overnight stay at Hyatt Regency Chicago that come with your party entrance.

Get a thirty day free trial of the leading anti virus software.
At Foxcom we care about the security of you business critical data. We have partnered up with Sophos to bring you the ultimate Anti virus solution.
Sophos outperforms both McAfee and Symantec. This Endpoint Security for Small Business comparative review by Cascadia Labs (November 2006) evaluated the three leading locally-managed endpoint security software packages designed for small businesses:
- Sophos Computer Security SBE 2.0
- McAfee Active VirusScan SMB Edition
- Symantec Client Security 3.1
The Ratings
Sophos clearly outperformed both Symantec and McAfee in the vast majority of areas. Ease of installation is essential for small businesses and Sophos installed on 10 endpoints in just 14 minutes, and 18 steps. By comparison the Symantec and McAfee solutions took more than 30 minutes and involved 104 and 45 steps respectively.
According to Cascadia Labs, Sophos also did a better job of stopping unknown or zero-day threats than both Symantec and McAfee using "the most effective
desktop firewall in the review" and Behavioral Genotype Protection to block unknown attacks.
Cascadia Labs' Verdict
"Sophos Computer Security SBE 2.0 stood out by clearly meeting the needs of small businesses."
"McAfee Active VirusScan SMB Edition did demonstrate some effective blocking capabilities but was substantially more challenging to install and manage than the Sophos product."
"Symantec Client Security 3.1 [was] essentially unsuitable for a small business environment because of its complex configuration requirements, lack of a dashboard containing actionable options, and poor performance when confronted with malware during a scan."

Working with glass
Just lately I have been working on a new line of pendants. Using Glass and copper and sometimes sterling silver, I am creating pendants that carry light. At least that is how I think of it. Carrying light means that they are somewhat translucent and have great color and that they light me up when I look at them… LOL! Of course they feature all of my favorite colors! I have a scrumptious red orange, beautiful blue greens and some trippy black and whites. Today I toasted some glass that looks just like warm butterscotch to me… not the store kind but the homemade butterscotch… it is just so warm and yummy that it made me hungry just taking it out of the kiln.
I am make my own bails for some of the pendants, and really enjoying the process. The copper ones so far are my favorites, and I found a great chain to hang them from. You can see what I have available on my website at https://www.sharonorelladesigns.com/
My journey on Artfire and other venues
I am still adjusting my photos to remove the SO Art Studio name, as I have decided to simplify my little handmade business by changing over to Sharon Orella Designs for my jewelry creations. I will continue to make my copper artworks, but am really enjoy improving my jewelry bench skills. So coming soon, I will gear up my website to showcase my jewelry and continue making some lovely new items. I also have begun moving some of my jewelry onto Artfire as they have a great google search engine submission and they feed Amazon as well. I will still be on Etsy but it is nice to be in few places for folks to find me.
Check out Artfire it is a great place for artists…. Click here to see more photos!

I love making things from seemingly nothing… the sense of accomplishment really cannot be beat. You look at a pile of parts and then sort and separate and arrange and then finally you get around to make all of those little parts into something beautiful and functional. I just love it! You all know by now that I create things and then add them to my Etsy shop. Well these are not added there yet, but I thought I would go ahead and preview them here and if anyone is interested, then by all means please let me know and I will be a bit faster about getting them out there… Enjoy!
Do you have a Buxom Bosom? Or perhaps you don't like wearing a choker that you thought was a necklace. . …..
Have you always found it difficult at best to find jewelry that is large enough? This has been a struggle for me my entire life. I love to wear bracelets and necklaces and earrings etc… but every time I have seen something, that I thought was beautiful and would love to have, it has been the same story over and over. I try the bangle bracelets (I would love to wear an armful of them) and I cannot get them over my hand (ok, I cannot get them past my knuckles!) I have a size 8 wrist and the widest part of the hand is over 9 inches. I would love to say, oh I can lose weight and it all will fit, but it is just not true. I had the same size when I weighed 130 lbs…. I am over 5′ 10″ inches tall with a size 11 foot and even at 135 I wore a size 14-16 pant (I am quite a bit more that that now, but you get the picture, right?). That jewelry never actually ever fit me. I always had to add extenders to necklaces and bracelets, and was limited to certain styles. I did get fed up and started making my own jewelry, and I love making it! Who hasn't said, I wish I had known this then. Yes, I make jewelry in larger sizes… because if you want to know a secret that is not talked about much? It is this….
If you are larger you can wear bolder, more dramatic and more beautiful jewelry!
In fact the larger you are, in height or weight, it doesn't matter, wearing small petite jewelry just gets lost on you. I am not saying that you have to wear big bright colors and chunky fruit jewelry, of course not that would be ridiculous… But, you CAN wear layers of jewelry and larger pendants, and great chunky bracelets and bold earrings. In fact, I am saying you can wear some amazing stuff that smaller women (tiny & thin), just cannot carry off. There is nothing more sexy, than a buxom bosom layered with beautiful chains and a great pendant and if your tall like me and maybe not so much a buxom bosom woman, then the you can carry the long length superbly. I really want to encourage every large size woman to invest in great jewelry, to complete your look. You will look more put together and as beautiful as you truly are!
Of course here is my shameless plug… I always make my jewelry available locally and post more and more of it in my Etsy shop. Here are some examples…
Copper and Silver bracelets, layered together make for a very sophisticated look and because of the links they can twist around you wrist and always look good. Stay tuned, I have more to say on this passion of mine, and I will be sharing more styles of jewelry very soon…
Sometimes you forget….
I was thinking the other day about how I would be able to have prints made of some of my work, that would not require me to a) purchase a fancy printer and equally fancy paper b) Invest in have random prints made that may sell, or not… Then I realized, that I could probably put the images out on Fine Art America. You have to know, embarrassing as it is, that I signed up for FAA like 2 years ago, and get an email once a week about it. Even worse was, I open the email, I read the contents (which is all about what is going on there) but I never posted anything on it! DUH! So this week I created some galleries, found a couple of friends I know that are on there and hopefully someone will notice some of the stuff I have out there. What I liked, was that they could turn my artworks, photographs etc.. into cards, giclee's, prints and so on. They send them out and a portion of the proceeds (decided by me) goes to me. I am hoping it works out well, wish me luck!
Here is the link to my Gallery on Fine Art America: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/sharon-orella.html
When you get there, I would recommend clicking on Galleries so you can see bodies of work together, vs different mediums together like it is below.

I can see why they would count Myrtle, Ethel, Barbara, Phyllis, Marge, Ruth, Gretchen and Gertrude out as being too dated, but the rest? What were they thinking? It's absolutely beyond me why Beatrice and Rose are on the list, and I definitely wouldn't count Agatha or Martha out either. I'm also secretly hoping for the return of Mildred.

Is atheism predicated partially on the belief in evolution and the current prevailing views of science.
If so, then such a belief is subject to drastic changes as discoveries and theories
have recently arose that shatter the paradigm that is the foundation of such a belief:
Discoveries keep pushing back the inception of civilization, indefinitely back in time
Evidence of coastal civilizations existing during the ice age are arising in now inundated coastal region due to rising seas.
The concept of a missing link is no longer postulated as a bush of hominids lineages walked the earth. With what was once considered ancestors, actually being contemporary with postulated descendants. A bush of hominids actually existed as recently as 30,0000 B.C.E.
Though theories of evolution abound no working scientific model exists for the emergence of life.
Our very existence is interwoven with the anthropic principle. As such this has required scientist to postulate the multiverse to explain how the anthropic principle is mindlessly satisfied by nature. However this just substitutes one unfalsifiable believe for another.
In truth, Darwin's world has been shattered and the truth has become intractable. Even as we cope with dark matter and energy. Terms that falsely connote that we have defined them, when in fact they are no more apparent than God. As such new scientific theories continue to emerge based on the inadequacy of the standard model. This will continue into infinitum since, as God there is no means to detect these alleged entities with scientific instrumentation.
Ha, ha, ha. You are such a hoot, Michael.
Well, if it's an imaginary friend, it was probably an imaginary object as well.
Sounds like she went to warp --
Far more logical than anything supernatural.

A very interesting flat with an Egyptian theme (there are 3 flats all with different themes). It had a lot of nice installations like mood lights, radio... built in by the beds, column lights etc. All this made it a very nice place to stay, although half of the lights and one of the radios didn't work. The neighbourhood around was also nice and buzzing with nice restaurants and shopping, but if you wants a riverside location, then be aware that the flat is quite far from the river walking, but there are good tram connections. podľa Michael G., (Copenhagen), dňa 22/11/2013

I LIKE THE ITEM, THEREFORE, THE REASON I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE Satisfied Customer I am very pleased with the (Vicks) V5100N humidifier. I have not had a single problem with this unit with almost nightly use. I just wish the reservoir fill was on the top. ~4 3/4 stars~ Broke very easy Not even 2 months of use and our humidifier got stuck and my husband tried to take it apart and it broke! Please let us know what we can do about sending it back to the company, really a great quiet function, however I am terribly dissapointed in the price, because it did not lasted under normal ussage. The white material is very brittle and just crumbled. Please help! Thanks Show all reviews Add your own review! |

Fabric Composition
For full terms and conditions please see our Delivery & Returns policy
16/08/2013 21:30:36
Not worn it out yet as I bought it thinking it would be way too small. Quality seems to be excellent and wasn't as small as I thought it would be. Will hopefully soon be able to try it out on the bike.
10/06/2012 13:46:00
Bought as a good weather cycling top. Colour is bright, making it ideally suited for good visibility. Fabric is comfortable to wear and appears to wick moisture effectively.
11/07/2012 18:54:15
Worn this on a number of rides on road bike, found it very comfortable, kept cool and dry in it. Paid a lot more for cycling tops and this is as good as any had.
04/07/2013 08:17:37
Nice comfortable fit. Lightweight. Moves easily. As above, I prefer my pockets lower down, so I don't dislocate my shoulder when trying to reach into them.
01/10/2012 10:53:18
Comfortable, well made shirt, equally as good as specialist bike shirts costing much more. Zipped front gives some ventilation when the going gets hot.
21/06/2013 09:41:55
Very well made with little thoughts like a neck protector over the zip ! Good fit, does not ride up and maintains shape well. Can wear this for hours.
24/07/2012 21:08:08
Great - good fitting does not ride up when on the drops - three back pockets and a very handy, but small, zipped pocket for phone money etc.
14/03/2013 07:14:18
Bought for my husband who loves cycling, and the top is very comfortable and easy washed too, well worth the money.
19/08/2013 13:27:55
I cycle on a daily basis and have very expensive clothing which appears to be made of the quality as this top
05/01/2013 16:26:56
Fits nicely and has a very handy zip pocket for items that you don't necessarily want in the rear pouches
29/09/2012 22:58:18
ideal as a base layer or to wear alone. great styling, can also wear it for hill walking so really useful
19/08/2013 12:36:28
Just what I was looking for to go cycling. Good fit and well designed with useful pockets at the back
05/01/2013 09:29:30
Good colour range, great for a range of sporting activities, comfortable, well fitting
10/08/2013 11:42:37
quick drying and nice long front zip to let air in and flash chest hair, not
03/10/2013 14:47:03
These tops are brilliant for cycling, really comfortable and excellent value
24/07/2012 14:28:37
Bought this for my husband who likes it very much. Accurate sizing.
08/08/2013 23:57:37
Looks great value. Good discount. Maybe a little tight size wise?
27/01/2013 11:17:33
mote colour choice require, long sleeve version would be welcome
05/08/2013 20:57:51
Comfortable to wear with useful pockets for summer cycling.
23/09/2012 11:12:53
Very good pockets... I like the zip (phone size) pocket.

We have been doing some staff training the past few weeks. We spent a good part of yesterday in a session out of the office. Good stuff. It is training and learning about things we have been doing for a long time. It's not that we haven't been successful at what we have been doing, but who wouldn't want to get better? To grow? To learn a new trick?
I believe that's a big part of staying young. Young at heart. Young in mind. Young in spirit. Young in energy. Maybe 'young' is the wrong word. 'Fresh' seems more appropriate. Who wants to get stale when fresh is an option?
New tricks, better ways, learning and growing are mental Botox. They keep your mind tight, flexible, pretty, and happy. Once you think you already know it all, you're throwing in the towel of life.
We live in exciting times. Get out there and take a big old bite out of something new.

Hey! I'm not a music major, just a hobbyist and am trying to find out what this instrument is. I think most of these should be easy because they're acoustic I believe, but not sure. When I hear these types of sounds, it reminds me most of the Sims but is also heard in other happy/uplifting songs.
1.) Heard at this time here in an interview: Wind type? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=379NjchCjzw&t=0m32s 2.) Or here (Wind type?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKXEiSTXp9o&t=0m7s 3.) Different instrument here? (Epic part) Second Favorite. String type? Violin? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKXEiSTXp9o&t=0m40s 4.) I think it's a wind instrument?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKXEiSTXp9o&t=1m10s 5.) Last one! Probably the most important to me as its dramatic. I can't tell this one. Initially I thought it was a wind instrument. But then sounded like a pad or synth the more I listened to it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR6kcnqLFzI&t=2m8s |

strange, the embeded videos don't have the time markers I linked. The actual links do to the specific instruments. |

2.) English Horn? Flute?
3.) Sounds like a viola 4.) Same as 2. 5.) I would say it's cello played pizzicato. |
^ | Joined: 01 Jan 2013 Member: #295461 Location: Finland | ||
The first one is some cheesy pizzicato with a flutey like thing on top, I think. Pretty synthy. I think you can get that sound with nearly any keyboard or library with a couple of acoustic sounds.
The second one is a clarinet, the second time it's flute plus oboe or english horn. Personally, I think that the music from the first Sims cannot be beaten. Some of those tracks were so good. The third one sounds like a violin to me, but might be a viola as well. Second time it's layered with the oboe or english horn. Four is a clarinet, perhaps a bass clarinet. Five sounds indeed like cello pizzicato, or perhaps it's just one of those "full string" patches, with a flute one octave higher to me. The flute is blown a bit hard and short (overblown, staccato). The strings are synthy. Especially the marcato strings starting at 2:28 sound artificial to me. As if they come from an old sample library, like Miroslav. But there might also be some woodwind playing along, a bass clarinet possibly. |

Secret Machines
Revealing a sharp songwriting instinct and unfolding a distinct indie rock influence, Secret Machines unveil singular scenarios and refined tunes within the alternative pop/rock scene. Benjamin Curtis (guitar/vocals), Josh Garza (drums), and Brandon Curtis (bass/vocals) formed Secret Machines in the midst of summer of 2000, in Dallas, TX. The trio swiftly managed to create its own sounding marks, mostly due to a common musical and band experience. Before forming the Machines, the Curtis brothers played with the punk rock squad UFOFU; in addition, Brandon's also a regular headliner of the Dallas underground music scene, namely through his active participation in projects such as Captain Audio alongside Garza. After several months of rehearsals and recording sessions in Chicago with engineer Brian Deck, the Machines offered their debut disc, the EP September 000, in March of 2002. After touring throughout much of 2002, the band returned to their adopted hometown of New York City and began recording the debut full-length for Reprise with producer Jeff Blenkinsopp. The album Now Here Is Nowhere was released in May of 2004. Ten Silver Drops followed two years later. In 2007, Ben Curtis left the band to work with his other project, School of Seven Bells, full-time; former Tripping Daisy member Phil Karnats was recruited to become Secret Machines' guitarist. That summer, the band began recording their third album and when Warner Brothers seemed unsure about their new lineup, Secret Machines decided to form their own imprint, TSM Recordings. The band released the muscular-sounding Secret Machines in conjunction with World's Fair in 2008. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges, Rovi
sounds like U2 doing the Beatles!
I feared I was alone in the world with the insight that this band was the polar bookend of Led Zeppelin in the scheme of Rock & Roll until I heard The Edge of U2 interviewed and urged to offer one recording in recent history that could change Rock & Roll, and he responded: Secret Machine's debut album. I saw them during their In-The-Round tour for 10 Silver Drops in 2006 that played host to - insanely - about barely 200-300 people a night in key venues in major cities on a tour heavily marketed
Word on the street is they got a new album coming out called The Moth, The Lizard, and the Secret Machines. I'm so pumped.
Not hot enough to get a comment yet this year.
Awesome song. One of them is now playing keyboards and singing backup with Interpol. Not a bad gig I guess.
some good songs, some bad songs. i like marconi's radio (short one) and the one they play on the radio alot
my favorite band of the last decade
patrickhuffi n e
Unbelievable band. Truly unique in their sound. You must see them live if you haven't.
Best band ever.
sick sick. really good music. the kind i heard when i was in portland
Just saw these guys in Seattle and and great effects. Comparable to Pink Floyd but, with their own style. Also great guys. Stayed after and signed a poster of theirs for a good friend that couldn't make it to the show. H-Bday JSin! Thanx Josh, Brandon, and Phil.
These guys are absolutely amazing in concert - I've seen them three times and drove to Coachella in California from Des Moines, Iowa to see them again! Super friendly too, they signed my hotel room key and gave my wife a drumstick here in Des Moines.
awesome... jimmy page+marty balin+jerry garcia+an awesome drummer=secr e t machines
Am I the only person that thinks...THI S IS THE BEST AMERICAN BAND ALIVE TODAY?!?!? I hope not.

This is the first installment of a trilogy for the Hobbit novel. I'm a big fan of Jackson's LOTR work and he certainly does a great job depicting the beautiful and mystical world in the Hobbit. The movie is broken up into an introduction, Smaug, and the war. If you're a fan of LOTR, you'll enjoy the journey this film takes you on.
I?m a lover of all things Tolkien. I own every book he?s written. I?ve read through The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit multiple times and The Silmarillion once as well as some of his other histories. The Tuesday before The Hobbit released I read it to freshen up my memory of the book. Well there?s been a lot of digital ink spilled about the movie. A lot of the critical reviews have been negative (see Christ and Pop Culture?s Roundup for plentiful examples).I mentioned a few times on Facebook that many of the reviews seemed to lack a basic understanding of Tolkien and the larger history of Middle-earth. Seth Abramson from none other than The Huffington Post offered a comprehensive review which included actual reasons from Tolkien?s work in defense of the movie (?Dislike Peter Jackson?s the Hobbit? Then you don?t know Tolkien?). Also, Corey Olson, Tolkien expert and creator of The Tolkien Professor podcast, gave the movie thumbs up as well (?A Take on Tolkien?). I?ll throw my hat i

The NFL held its yearly supplemental draft last Thursday, giving underclassmen that are ineligible for the upcoming college season an opportunity to enter the league. Although the 2007 class was considered better than most, by the end of the day only two teams -- the San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens -- opted to get early use from a 2008 draft pick by choosing among the dozen or so prospects who were available. Putting it another way, 30 franchises in the NFL -- the Kansas City Chiefs among them -- walked away from the supplemental draft without adding anyone to their roster. But to hear the reactions of some distressed Chiefs fans, general manager Carl Peterson not making a selection during the process was akin to Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burned around him.

Domestic dispute leads to mud, manure slingingStaff Report | December 12,2012WEST HAVEN — A romantic dispute between two women on a dairy farm on Route 22A left one woman's minivan full of mud and manure and the other charged with a pair of misdemeanor criminal offenses, according to Vermont State Police.
State Police were called to a barn at 2474 Route 22A Tuesday afternoon for a reported fight.
At the farm, Jessica Drake told police she was shoved head-first into a pipe by Laura Richards, 39, and later left the barn to find the seats, dashboard and other interiors of her minivan filled with mud and manure.
Drake said Richards accused her of having an affair with her husband during the confrontation which other workers at the farm say they witnessed, according to a police affidavit.
Richards was arrested and charged with simple assault and unlawful mischief. She pleaded innocent to those charges on Wednesday and was released on court-ordered conditions.MORE IN This Just InWhen the public visits www.rutlandcity.
