They're here--the nesting answer for traditional Straight Ahead players! Since a nested configuration requires at least 3" of difference in diameter between nested drums, a 12" mounted tom doesn't fit into a 14" floor tom. Some players feel that the 10" mounted doesn't provide the depth of tone they need from a first tom, so in a nod towards traditional sizes, meet the CS-BOP featuring an 11" mounted tom into a 14" floor tom that's deeper and whose bass is shallower than our popular Standard CS-18 configuration. Also featuring as Standard is an audience-side wood hoop on the bass. Now carry your Bop kit in just two cases: toms-n-bass in one, and your favorite (deep?) snare in another. This kit also features a ride cymbal arm on the bass. Swing It!! P.S. another fun detail is that we've maintained the 2:3 ratio seen in an 8"x12" tom here--the 11" tom is 7⅓" deep. 7⅓x11, 12x14, 14x18; plied maple; satin wax.

Possibly one of the most photographed views in Italy!
This is a half-second exposure at ISO800 of a lit compact fluorescent bulb taken with a homemade pinhole "lens" on a Nikon D80. The estimated focal length is 50mm and the aperture diameter is about 0.10mm, resulting in a f/500! Super slow!
Here's a version with a few fun options. Opting for a Shiny Wax finish, this customer went with audience-side wooden bass hoop, black hardware, and a DW tom mount on the bass, plus a couple of extra brackets for tom arms. FUN! 8x10, 9x13, 14x16, 18x20; plied maple; shiny wax.
The Basra Compact, a flagship partnership to revive the economy in southern Iraq
Basra, 05 May 2015 – The authorities of Basra and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) today signed a flagship agreement, the Basra Compact, aiming at strengthening participatory and accountable governance and reviving the economic activity in the southern governorate, which is not just oil-rich but needs to invest in its human capacity and private sector development. Protecting the cultural and ecological heritage of the Mesopotamian Marshlands is also a priority.
Despite being the richest governorate and hosting the main port in Iraq, Umm Qasr—the only shipping hub in the country—Basra is one of the most affected by poverty and chronic unemployment with 16.1% of the population living below the poverty line of US$ 2.5 per day and facing staggering challenges in terms of access to services.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Basra authorities outlines future cooperation in the areas of decentralization, financial management and budget execution, environment protection, private sector development including micro, small and medium enterprises, and supporting the governorate’s 5-year strategic planning.
“Working with local partners is a fundamental element of national ownership,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and UNDP Resident Representative, Lise Grande, said. “This translates into UNDP’s support for the local network of the Global Compact promoting responsible business practices in the areas of gender, human rights, labour standards, environment, service delivery and anti-corruption,” she explained.
UNDP has nearly 40 years of experience in Iraq leading the UN’s development work, providing knowledge and practical expertise. In its long-term engagement with the government and the people of Iraq, UNDP focuses on inclusive participation, accountability, access to justice, women’s empowerment, security sector reform, decentralization and private sector development. In particular, UNDP supports the government’s 4-year development plans (2014-2017).

The Compact Shelves comprise the Northern half of the first floor of the Valley Library. They are hard to miss. You can access the pre-1990 journals stored in the shelves anytime during library hours, just like regular books.
I have a weekly account that gets multiple arrangements for the different rooms they have. This was a few weeks ago for the "red" room. I really liked how this turned out.
