The government agencies Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Department of Housing and Urban Development have asked the house owners to gut their walls if they have used Chinese drywall on them. The Chinese drywall are considered hazardous. They cause corrosion and seeping of walls and may tamper with the electrical wiring, air conditioners, sprinkler systems, smoke alarms etc.

Many of the customers have complained foul odors and seeping from their wall and their air conditioners, mirrors and electrical units were found to be corroded. Thousands of people from Florida to California have been advised to gut down the walls.

The investigation began in 2008 on drywall. Initially they did not find out problems in the Chinese drywall but the studies eventually concluded that the drywall emits hydrogen sulfide 100 times more than that of non Chinese ones. The agency says that it best to gut the wall to solve the problem. Most of the houses in Southeast have been built with Chinese drywall and it is not yet clear as to who would bear the cost of the damages and repairs. The customers have filed lawsuit against the Chinese company and the US marketers.

Let’s assume that you have a fourpiece rock band, which you will be recording live to a multitrack recorder. In this scenario, you are planning to mic a guitar amp, a bass amp, a vocalist, and a drum set. You might consider using seven mics for these sessions one on each of the amps, one for the singer, and four for the drums. Let’s begin with the drums. The scenario allots four mics for the drums one each for the bass drum and snare drum, and a pair of overheads to get the cymbals and toms. A combination of large and small diaphragm dynamic mics, with directional patterns for maximum separation, is a common choice for this setup.

A large diaphragm mic would be best for the bass drum, with small diaphragm mics for the snare drum and overheads. For the guitar amp, you can use either a dynamic or condenser microphone of almost any size. For the bass amp, on the other hand, you will want to have a midsize or large diaphragm condenser or dynamic to catch the lower frequencies of the instrument. Again, both amp mics should be directional to help keep other instruments out of their range. Finally, like the guitarist, the vocalist could choose between a dynamic or condenser mic, and any diaphragm size. Because the band needs seven mics, price is going to be a big consideration. There are many inexpensive small diaphragm dynamic mics to choose from, and most will be well suited to the needs of a rock band.

Large diaphragm dynamic mics intended for bass drums would suit the bass guitar as well, and these mics are also priced competitively. Vocals are among the hardest things to record well. There are so many different types of voices and vocal styles that it’s impossible to use the same microphone and miking technique for everyone, so, the singer will want to try a number of microphones to find the one that best fits his voice and style of music. If the singer cannot afford a highend vocal microphone, such as a Neumann U 87 or AKG 414, he can still get great sounds from an inexpensive microphone like the SM58.

Have you ever wondered that how are parents, who did not have as much income as we do or rather only one of them use to work, managed to rear us, their children, without compromising on our upbringing? If you are to commence argument saying that today’s standard of living is costlier than that of theirs, then you should also consider the fact the if on an average, the older generation had 3 children, the current generation has only one.

We, the current generation, are taken away by the luxury surrounding us. We do not have the control over our temptation to spend lavishly and seek all comforts possible. Our parents only went for minimal comforts. They thought twice before spending. Now, we take spending on luxury as a measurement of our status.

We want our friends, our known ones, our relatives to all know that we live a high standard of living. We tend to spend more than our earning capacity, by way of using credit cards, loans etc. and when we have a financial crisis, default payments and get into legal problems.

When we earn, we also should learn to save. But , it is very important that by investing some money and getting loans which might be multiple times more than the investment is not wise way of saving.
