		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s an age-old trick, most often used by those who are losing a debate.  When you use this trick, it makes your opponent defend something he never said or did, and takes the focus off of your opinions, proposals, or ideals.  It works even better when you can convince people that the ONLY reason someone [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=audioandmore.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6694571&amp;post=197&amp;subd=audioandmore&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recording and pro-audio it&#8217;s all too easy to fall into a rut and never try new things. You have found a variety of mics that you like for certain instruments, particular pieces of outboard gear you always fall back on, and mixing techniques that you constantly use. There are a number of reasons for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=audioandmore.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6694571&amp;post=191&amp;subd=audioandmore&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Or, maybe a better way to put it is that I am underwhelmed with the usefulness of the gadget.

In other words, if you are perceived as enough of a crooked scumbag, you get paid at least $100,000 to tell everyone what a fine individual you are. This is a disgrace. Talk about selling out the citizens! Of course, politicians [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=audioandmore.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6694571&amp;post=105&amp;subd=audioandmore&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
