This week we will finish building our large sound isolating window to the front room, acquiring sound isolating doors, finishing sheetrock on the ceilings of the two smaller recording studios and finalizing heat/AC design and installation. Then comes sheetrock finishing, electrical and lighting, sound absorbing materiaal for ceilings and walls, paint and carpet. A lot to do yet, but things are falling into place. We are looking forward to great progress this weekend.

We covered the rally urging President Obama to deny approval to the XLKeystone Pipeline. We talked with Rivka Fidel of the ISU campus organization Active US, followed by a short clip from a debate between Eric Fica, president of Friends of the Earth , and Cindy Schild, executive from the American Petroleum Insitute , which led to a vivid description of the pipeline and its effects by ISU professor emeritus, Carl Vondra.
