Shure Green Bullet 520DX Dynamic Harmonica Microphone Shure Green Bullet 520DX Dynamic Harmonica Microphone
List Price: $119.00
Sale Price: $118.99

If you blow a mean harp, rock the mouth organ, or simply play harmonica, there's only one microphone you've absolutely gotta have, and that's the epic Shure 520DX "Green Bullet." The Green Bullet has barely changed in over 60 years. The original model 520 microphone was intended as a high-quality PA and public address mic for dispatchers and ham radio operators. Long story short, it sounded horrid... think of your typical fast food drive-through intercom, and you've got the idea. Suffice it to say, the 520 Green Bullet Anyway, the 520's first saving grace was that Shure weather-proofed its diaphragm so it would withstand salty air and moisture, which also makes the Green Bullet virtually spit proof — a real bonus for harp players.

Contoured to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, the Model 520DX "Green Bullet" microphone produces the unique sound that has made it a legend among harmonica players. The 520DX features a volume control knob at the base of the microphone that allows users to make adjustments to suit their needs during live performance. An attached cable with a standard 1/4-inch plug allows the microphone to be connected to a high-impedance device. Contoured to fit perfectly between harmonica and hands, it can also be used for distinct, lo-fi vocals. With its signature green and chrome die-cast casing, the 520DX "Green Bullet" holds a spot in history as the definitive blues harp voice. Frequency response. Key Features Volume control knob allows users to adjust the volume to fit each musical situation Rugged, dynamic cartridge with improved response High-impedance, omnidirectional Supplied with 1/4 inch connector Applications Connect the 520DX directly into a guitar amplifier to produce the classic blues harp sound. Use the following guidelines: The volume control on the microphone should be turned down before plugging it into an amplifier. As you move away from the amplifier, the volume can be turned up. Adjust the microphone's volume control knob during performances as needed. For example, when switching from playing rhythm to lead or to place the microphone on standby between sets. To avoid feedback, maintain as much distance as possible from monitors or loudspeakers. Adjust the volume of monitors or loudspeakers at the mixing console so that no feedback is present when the volume control knob on the harmonica microphone is at its maximum setting. Specifications Type: Dynamic Frequency Response: 100 to 5,000 Hz Polar Pattern: Omnidirectional Impedance: High, unbalanced Load Impedance Range: Minimum of 100 kilohms Output Level (at 1,000 Hz): Open Circuit Voltage ­38.0 dBV/Pa (13 mV)* -- *1 Pa = 94 dB SPL Polarity : Positive sound pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on tip with respect to sleeve (ground) of microphone output phone plug connector Cable: 20-foot cable, two conductor shielded with standard 1/4-inch phone plug attached (supplied wired for high-impedance, unbalanced connection) Case: Green and chrome finished die casting Weight: 26 ounces

The omni-Americans: Some alternatives to the folklore of white supremacy The omni-Americans: Some alternatives to the folklore of white supremacy
Sale Price: $55.59

Novelist, essayist, and cultural critic Albert Murray--a classmate of Ralph Ellison at Tuskegee University--has spent his whole life affirming the positive aspects of Afro-American culture while rejecting the sociologically flawed assumptions of white America. These essays from the '60s and '70s attack what he called the "social science fiction" propagated by Marxist theorists, black activists, sociologists, and politicians. The book's goal, he wrote, was "to expose the incompetence and consequent impracticality of people who are regarded as intellectuals but are guided by racial bias rather than reason based on scholarly insight." For Murray, black culture derives from the American South; is blues-based in its oral, literary, and musical traditions; and is heroic in its eternal attempts to affirm the principles set down in the Constitution. With the skill of a jazz pianist, Murray lays down some cool intellectual chords that drown out the bleak dissonances of black life articulated in mainstream culture to create a black, brown, and beige--and brilliantly American--composition of his own. --Eugene Holley Jr.

The Omni-Americans is a classic collection of wickedly incisive essays, commentaries, and reviews on politics, literature, and music. Provocative and compelling, Albert Murray debunks the "so-called findings and all-too-inclusive extrapolations of social science survey technicians," contending that "human nature is no less complex and fascinating for being encased in dark skin." His claim that blacks have produced "the most complicated culture, and therefore the most complicated sensibility in the western world" is elucidated in a book which, according to Walker Percy, "fits no ideology, resists all abstractions, offends orthodox liberals and conservatives, attacks social scientists and Governor Wallace in the same breath, sees all the faults of the country, and holds out hope in the end."

San Diego waterfront ideal for quick getaway

From a colorful waterfront to the vibrant Gaslamp District, a visit to the San Diego waterfront will not lack for things to do.

If you don't have much time to spend, but want to pack your getaway with memorable experiences, the San Diego waterfront should be right at the top of your list.

Of course most people will spend more than a night once they've driven down to California's southern-most city and the San Diego area will offer up more than enough fascinating experiences to last for an extended vacation. The consistently sunny weather and beaches alone are enough to convince most vacationers this is a good place to be.

But a "quickie" to San Diego also has its rewards and may be more in line with the dwindling vacation allowances we see today as companies push harder for productivity. If it's just a short time that you have available, a great place to target is the San Diego waterfront and Gaslamp District - it's all within close proximity and the area offers a high concentration of fun visitor attractions that, for the most part, are cheap and easy.

We headquartered at the new Omni Hotel which was built in conjunction with the city's new Petco Park and opened in April 2004. It goes without saying that the Omni would be the perfect location to stay while you're in town for a Padres game - the ballpark is right next door and even connected by a skybridge - but it's also an excellent choice to take full advantage of San Diego's historic Gaslamp District, the 14-square-block area that has been dressed up to become the heart of San Diego's nightlife.

The gleaming new Omni represents the best in downtown hotels - our spacious suite was like a home away from home with the most stylish of modern décor and furnishings, warm tones, a big comfortable king bed, a handy desk and seating area, and an oversize bath area, which seems to be a trend in modern hotel layouts. Out the picture windows we had a 13th story view of the Coronado Bridge and San Diego's South Bay. This could have been one of those accommodations we would be content to just lounge around all weekend in a bathrobe but, with San Diego right outside, we were anxious to begin exploring.

The Omni is at the southern tip of the Gaslamp District so with just a little walking we quickly came upon dozens of dining opportunities - literally all types of cuisine, each restaurant offering a twist to bring people in the door. Options here run the gamut from the messy ribs at Dick's Last Resort to the impeccable presentations offered at George's on Fifth, from exquisite Persian cuisine at Bandar to the bar food at Moose McGillycuddy's. Sidewalk cafes are big in the Gaslamp - even on this Thursday night the streets were alive with groups of party people, X and Y generation couples and even many families. The best place to observe all of this was from our table right out on the sidewalk, where we enjoyed scrumptious Mexican food prepared by La Fiesta.

Fashion boutiques, trendy stores and, yes, a few tacky tourist shops are interspersed between the restaurants and nightclubs. Many of the ornate historical buildings have been refurbished and, just to keep things interesting, the merchants in the Gaslamp bring out re-enactors dressed in period garb to help explain the history of the Gaslamp Quarter. As we strolled through the Gaslamp, groups of costumed re-enactors were positioned on several of the street corners where each of the actors assumed the role of a historic San Diego citizen. Staying in character, the re-enactors then dispensed a good measure of San Diego history while staging a kind of mini-play for fascinated visitors.

The energy of the Gaslamp Quarter is undeniable and staying in a downtown hotel allows the visitor to take full advantage of the nightlife - no worries about driving home, no concern about even driving from club to club. The Gaslamp Quarter is all right there within easy walking distance and, even late at night, seems remarkably safe for visitors.

The next morning, we walked to the San Diego Maritime Museum. The Omni is several blocks from this part of the waterfront so we drove - but parking on the waterfront is plentiful and reasonably priced. For those interested in things nautical, this part of the San Diego waterfront will make you feel like a kid in a candy store. Among other historic vessels on display, the Maritime Museum includes a 1962 Soviet submarine, the 1863-vintage Star of India -- one of the world's oldest working ships - the 1898 steam ferry Berkeley, and the H.M.S. Surprise, a replica of an 18th Century Royal Navy frigate that was used in the filming of the movie Master and Commander - the Far Side of the World.

Visitors can stroll through each of these ships and view historic displays, photos and information panels that help give one a sense of how everyday life really was on board one of these historic vessels. The submarine is cramped beyond imagination and actually requires some physical dexterity just to walk through it. The H.M.S. Surprise is fun to explore and entertaining for those who remember the movie Master and Commander. With the largest interior space, the Berkeley offers even more variety of exhibits based on the history of maritime activity and how these vessels do what they do. The Star of India can be toured at the dock and, periodically, the ship will take visitors sailing.

Maritime history of another sort is featured in the new USS Midway museum, also located along this general part of the San Diego waterfront. Just visiting an aircraft carrier, for one thing, is a treat unto itself. But in the Midway's case, there is a 47-year history that is good to keep in the back of your mind as you get a real sense of what it's like to live and work on an aircraft carrier.

This emphasis on the military didn't end with our tour of the USS Midway. Next it was time to take a harbor cruise on the 150-foot Adventure Hornblower, where we were treated to some great views of sea lions and other sea life and where we again got a close-up look at U.S. Navy firepower. The captain on our cruise boat told us that our one-hour cruise was the best he'd had all week - it included a great view of the USS Shilo ("the most powerful warship on the planet") as well as a nuclear submarine returning to base. Sprinkle in a military jet or helicopter buzzing by every now and then and you could not forget the importance of the U.S. military in San Diego.

AT A GLANCE

WHERE: San Diego is about 125 miles south of Los Angeles and easily reached by freeway. In addition, there are excellent air and rail connections.

WHAT: San Diego's downtown/waterfront area is an amazing collection of activities and attractions all relatively close to one another and blessed with the nation's best weather.

WHEN: Any time of year. San Diego's climate is sunny and comfortable year-round with the possible exception of May and June, which sometimes are more overcast - but still quite comfortable.

WHY: A great getaway for a night, or for an extended vacation.

HOW: To book a room at the new Omni Hotel San Diego, call 800-THE-OMNI or visit www.omnihotels.com.
