Dallas, when it was not happening – last night no sound came out at all! Today we discovered that the cable connecting the Saz to the soundsystem was bad, broken, kaputt! Switched cables and tonight he rocked out on the saz. It’s an electric Saz that Robbie Rothschild’s brother Char lent us for the week.
aqian100311 Took my new Brompton bike for a spin in Dallas Longines Watches yesterday. Rode to the post office to mail a couple of letters. The bike folds up in a couple of minutes – and it should only take 20 seconds once I remember the sequence correctly. Much better ride than the iXi bike I had before.
Voice-input for computers a la Startrek – yawn. Why would I want everyone in the control-room to hear that I am turning down the bass… Or I am sitting in a pubic space like a Wi-Fi cafe and people can hear my commands. Voice-recognition is great for blind people or people missing one or more limbs, but otherwise un-interesting, I think. Good for quick notes though. Note to self: the Legal Grounds cafe near the Lakewood
I want with a computer is gesture-based. My fingers are the best pointing device.
I use my fingers much more than I would use, say, a pen or my voice. Take my studio for example. I have a two-screen set-up and when I am using ProTools the screens have so much going on that quite often I can’t find the cursor right away. Is it on the right screen or did I leave it on the left screen? I search and wiggle the mouse… when all I should have to do is touch the screen and that’s where the mouse is.
I think once we have multi-touch screens we will wonder how long we made without them. Children will ask how did you do without multi-touch the same way I asked my parents how they got by using a hand-pump to draw water from a well. How did you take a bath? We went to the well with a bucket, several times, and then heated water on a wood-stove…

EMI Promise Another Music Revolution Apple and EMI are setting out to radically change the online music industry with a deal that offers iTunes customers premium versions of the record label’s songs with higher-fidelity audio and without DRM restrictions. DRM-free songs are playable on non-iPod music players. That could bring more Baume mercier Watches customers to iTunes — but it could also lure them away from the iPod.
aqian100310 Ah, the mega business. Of course, many of the indie labels selling music on iTunes would have taken the option of selling DRM-free 256kbps files years ago… but were never given that option. As far as I know that option still does not exist for us. Nope,A bit like the LiveEarth concerts to be staged in July – suddenly the big stars (Snoop Dogg?!?) are all green. Will Sting not fly his private jet to the concert?
But alas changes are happening and that is worth celebrating. Maybe within a year every label on iTunes will be offered the “EMI Option”, and maybe the July concerts will raise awareness on a large scale. Update: Yesterday I asked AWAL, who distribute SSRI to iTunes, whether DRM-free 256kbps will become an option for the indie labels. The answer is yes, and we will take the option as soon as it becomes available.
Best Travel Writing ?? Grand Prize Silver Winner: Flamenco Form I am a traveler in search of flamenco. In a nightclub in a cave in Granada, I sip Cruzcampo beer and watch and wait for the music to begin. Stools scrape, tables shift, and that narrow room grows crowded.

The government will invest billions in high-speed intercity trains that will cut travel between northern Enicar Watches Jutland and Copenhagen by a third, install light rail systems, expand the Copenhagen Metro, and widen and lengthen city bike lanes
aqian100310 “We are making public transit a lot more attractive with massive investments to increase capacity, improve on-time performance and lay brand-new railroads. We are also making the biggest push to promote cycling in recent memory,” said Transport Minister Lars Barfoed.
For Copenhagen, already one of the world’s most bicycle-oriented cities, that is a very tall order. The oil shocks of the 1970s inspired Denmark to build a vast network of bike lanes in the hope that Danes would start driving less and biking more.

aqian100309 Problems caused by a transportation system Graham Watches dominated by automobiles have been apparent for decades, but little happened to change the situation. It was considered an impossible dream that we would embrace any other way of travel.
But there are growing signs that people now understand —even in auto-dominated America—that we must broaden our transportation system by giving significant funding to bikes, transit, trains and walking. The fate or our environment, economy and communities depend upon it.(Via Worldchanging) Continue reading

We can no longer afford to solve a manufacturing problem (read: design problem) by shipping the poisonous waste to Africa or Asia and we can no longer afford to ignore education (and that includes art and music education) Audemars Piguet Watches if we want to create a bright future
aqian100309 As Ken has pointed out many times, nobody can skip stages, but we can sure try to help the development along, maximize the speed and opportunity at which people can move upwards. Now everywhere is our backyard and everyone is our brother/sister.
Make it happen!!BBC NEWS | Americas | US musicians demand radio royalties I bet you cannot guess the answer to this one.In which countries – apart from the United States – do terrestrial radio stations NOT pay performers for their songs?
This doesn’t affect me much, since this regards payment for performers – composers have been getting paid all along. But it seems wrong to me that cable and web radio have been paying performers and old radio has not.
And now, they want to take their patented shrubs to Baghdad’s Green Zone and replacing its “vast network of concrete blast walls with terrorist-proof trees and bushes.”

Some music is just imagined. What you don’t play can be more important than what you do play.

As Andrew Orlowski pointed out in his excellent Register article on the subject, the Ulysse nardin Watches typical inventory of a conventional high-street record store is around 4,000 CDs, or 52,000 songs.
aqian100308 Judging by Last.fm’s end-of-year top 100, there doesn’t seem to be much of a long tail there either: the list reads Coldplay, Radiohead, MGMT, Coldplay, Coldplay, Radiohead. And this is a site where the customers don’t have to pay for their music.So how did Anderson get it so wrong?
And the article in the Guardian ends with this:Maybe the reason why the internet hasn’t brought about a long-tail era for music is simpler than all the above. The internet gives the customer an infinite choice of tracks, but perhaps the pool of genuine talent is as limited as it’s always been.Related links: Chris Anderson is wrong The Long Tail – Not Remix for the Hybrid Economy Most Music didn’t sell a single copy

bracelets are notorious for rattling so it shouldn’t be a U-Boat Watches concern if this is the case.
aqian100306 You will find the model number engraved between the lugs at the 12 o’clock position and the serial number engraved between the lugs at the 6 o’clock position.?
It is likely that you will have to remove the bracelet to see them.? Do be aware that the numbers printed on the bracelts and end links are part numbers, not serial numbers.
The only sure fire way to tell if a Rolex is fake is to take it to a Rolex authorised dealer to have it appraised.? If the dealer removes the caseback they will be able to tell at a glance whether the movement is genuinely of Rolex as no other movements are laid out in the same way.?
At the other end of the quality spectrum, even a watch novice will be able to identify a Chinatown bought fake but if you are in any doubt whatsoever,These models are extremely popular and dealers frequently have extensive waiting lists.?
The SS (stainless steel) models sell for more than the TT (two tone) stainless steel and gold model so it could well be the old addage of price being dictated by the market factors of supply and demand.? You can, however we would strongly recommend that you don’t unless you know precisely what you are doing.?
