Substances & Homeopatic Remedies
Ixodes ricinus
Requests: If you need specific information on this remedy - e.g. a proving or a case info on toxicology or whatsoever, please post a message in the Request area www.homeovision.org/forum/ so that all users may contribute.
ixodes ricinus, L
Old English ticia, from West Germanic *tik- (cf. Middle Dutch teke, Dutch teek, Old High German zecho, German Zecke "tick"), of unknown origin. French tique (mid-15c.), Italian zecca are Germanic loan-words.
Traditional name
Eng: castor bean tick
Ita: zecca dei boschi
German: Zecke, gemeiner Holzbock
Used parts
whole animal
Animalia, arthropoda, arachnida, acari, ixodidae
Original proving
2005, Juliane Hesse, Germany
Link to the German proving here
Description of the substance
Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is a chiefly European species of hard-bodied tick. It may reach a length of 11 mm (0.43 in) when engorged with a blood meal, and can transmit both bacterial and viral pathogens such as the causative agents of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis.
The foto is kindly offered to the portal by K. Travaglini. All rights reserved to the owner. Thank you very much!
In common with other species of Ixodes, I. ricinus has no eyes and is not ornate; it has no festoons (wrinkles along the posterior margin). The palpi are longer than they are wide, and there is an anal groove above the anus. It has a hard dorsal shield which covers the entire opisthosoma (abdomen), but only part of it in females and nymphs.[2] I. ricinus is the largest of the three common species of Ixodes in the British Isles (the other two being I.canisuga, the "British dog tick", and I. trianguliceps, the "vole tick"). Adult males are 2.4–2.8 millimetres (0.09–0.11 in) long, and unfed nymphs are 1.3–1.5 mm (0.05–0.06 in) long; females are 3.0–3.6 mm (0.12–0.14 in) long before feeding and 11 millimetres (0.43 in) long when engorged.
Ixodes ricinus is found across Europe and into neighbouring parts of North Africa and the Middle East, extending as far north as Iceland and as far east as parts of Russia.[3] Its northern limit seems to be determined by environmental factors, including temperature, since a series of mild winters in Scandinavia coincided with an expansion northwards in the range of I. ricinus.
I. ricinus is most frequent in habitats where its hosts are plentiful, including woodlands, heaths and forests. It is most prevalent in relatively humid areas, and is absent from much of the Mediterranean Region where summers are dry.
Life cycle
Ixodes ricinus has a three-host life cycle, which usually takes 2–3 years to complete, although it can take from 1 to 6 years in extreme cases.[3] Adults feed on large mammals such as sheep, cattle, dogs, deer, humans and horses for 6–13 days, before dropping off. An engorged female will lay several thousand eggs and subsequently die. The larvae that hatch do not actively seek a host, and usually feed on insectivores (orders Erinaceomorpha and Soricomorpha), although they may also find rodents, rabbits, birds reptiles or bats. They feed for 3–5 days before dropping off and moulting. The resulting nymphs then ascend grasses or twigs to seek their next host, but must return to the moist microclimate at the soil surface if they become dehydrated.[6] The nymphs feed on small to medium-sized mammals.

What is Hypertension?
Blood pressure is defined as the force that the blood exerts on the veins and arteries while it circulates around the body. If this force is greater than it should be, it is often referred to as High Blood Pressure or Hypertension. Blood pressure is controlled by a variety of organs and body systems, including the heart, the blood vessels, the kidneys, the brain and the adrenal glands, as well as the complex interaction between the body systems.
Hypertension is sometimes known as the Silent Killer, because it often carries no symptoms at all until something serious happens. However, high blood pressure symptoms sometimes include headaches or a ringing sound in the ears. High blood pressure symptoms also may include blood shot eyes and elevated heart rate but these symptoms may also be caused by other conditions. If you think you are experiencing high blood pressure symptoms, it is highly advisable that you visit your doctor, homeopath, naturopath or other health care provider.

Thawing Out
It has been WAY too long since my last post and I apologize to all those out there who actually read this thing and derive any benefit from it. My job has totally sapped all my resources as of late, but I have missed being a blogger and have learned much since my last post that I want to pass on. I'm a big believer that the sharing of information is incredibly important is the filmmaking world and I want to continuing doing so.
I don't have much to share right now (hey, it's five in the morning), but promise that I'm going to get back on track and start to post things that can be of use to those with a camera and a passion to tell stories with it.
The first thing I need to do is get my domain name back. Filmflap.net lapsed due to an old credit card, and I missed the warning. I've emailed Godaddy (the name still appears registered to me) to fix the problem, get them their money and move on. Let's hope it really is that easy...

The SPCA Tampa Bay has received a steady stream of phone calls and emails from people interested in adopting the three surviving kittens that were found in a freezer in St. Petersburg on Dec. 2.
But the kittens are not yet available for adoption. It's not because of the kittens' health, but because of the legal process that must be followed, said Nora Hawkins of the SPCA.
The SPCA Tampa Bay typically serves as the advocate for the animals in such cases.
"Animals are helpless; they are totally dependent on their owners for care ... There's a public outrage when pets and innocents are battered and abused," said Jim Helinger, attorney for the SPCA Tampa Bay.
The process typically starts when the SPCA Tampa Bay gets a phone call to assist Pinellas County Animal Services or law enforcement in animal abuse or neglect cases. A trained officer accompanies law enforcement, assesses the situation and takes evidence of any neglect or abuse, Helinger said.
The officer then tries to get the pet owner to surrender ownership of the pet to the SPCA, to get the pet necessary medical treatment, assess it to see if the pet can live in a family and place the pet when possible up for adoption, Helinger said.
The surrender process includes a legal form, which the owners must sign which gives ownership to the animal rescue agency. In some cases, the SPCA may have seized the animals — as was the case with the freezer kittens, because their lives were at risk — but they still do not have the legal ownership, which the execution of this form gives them, Helinger said.
If an owner won't surrender their pets, then the SPCA Tampa Bay must go to court. The forfeiture process through the courts, which will grant the SPCA Tampa Bay ownership of the animal, typically takes about a month, Helinger said.
The Challenge of Animal Cruelty Charges
The prosecution of animal cruelty charges also takes time. Law enforcement and the SPCA Tampa Bay provide the documentation they collected to the state's attorney, who then investigates to determine if it is appropriate to file charges based on the evidence and facts in the case, Helinger said.
If the state's attorney decides to move forward, the person is arrested. The defense attorney completes a discovery process of the collected evidence and deposes witness, somewhat like people see in TV legal shows, Helinger said.
At the pre-trial conference, "the court gives an idea of what it would do for a plea," Helinger said.
Fighting animals and cruelty to animals can carry sentences up to five years based on Florida statute. If a defendant decides not to take a plea, then a jury trial follows, with the whole criminal process sometimes taking a year, Helinger said.
The courts are busier, compared to when Helinger started practicing law 40 years ago. Helinger volunteers his time on the cases. The courts have more cases including the increase of housing foreclosures and budget cuts have reduced staff. But the courts in Pinellas work very hard on the cases, Helinger said.
Education helps in about 95 percent of the suspected animal cruelty or neglect cases the SPCA Tampa Bay sees. In some cases, people are just overwhelmed and need help. In other cases they don't understand what shelter is, and the animal officers monitor for the owner to improve the animal's living conditions. When nothing gets done, then law enforcement gets involved, Hawkins said.
How You Can Help
Suspected animal cruelty can be reported to the SPCA Tampa Bay anytime. The phone number is 727-586-3591, ext. 9135.
The SPCA Tampa Bay is a nonprofit. The SPCA Tampa Bay website provides more information on ways to help and services they provide.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Italian, 1720-1778)
Palazzo Per la Sacra Consulta, n.d.
Etching and engraving 15 3/8 in. x 24 3/8 in. (39.05 cm x 61.91 cm)
Crocker Art Museum, gift of Rhea and Dan Brunner2009.102.2
One of the most important Italian printmakers of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi concentrated on rendering ancient, modern, and even imaginary buildings. Born on the terra ferma near Venice, he was trained as an architect but rarely practiced; only one late church survives. At the age of twenty, he traveled to Rome in the company of the Venetian ambassador, and during his first three years in the city he learned etching and engraving. The city captivated his imagination, and he settled there permanently in 1747. His first imaginary works, the Carceri d'invenzione, which incorporated Roman architectural ideas into fantastic settings, date from 1745, when he was still in Venice, and prepared his way in the Roman printmaking world.
In Rome, Piranesi became obsessed with depicting both the ancient and modern city, devoting himself to careful measurement before creating his monumental views. These two belong to the Vedute di Roma series begun in the late 1740s. The interior of the basilica of Saint Paul outside the walls shows its frescoes, papal portraits, and imperial Roman marble columns before their destruction by fire in 1823. The artist's attention to architectural proportion and detail engage the viewer as a participant in the scene alongside beggars, dogs, and groups of noble men and women.
Piranesi's skills are employed differently in the view of the palace of the Sacra Consulta, the papal tribunal, now the seat of the Italian constitutional court. All but ignoring the palace's situation on top of the Quirinal hill, he chooses an oblique viewpoint that enlivens the composition. As in the view of Saint Paul's, Piranesi's exacting technique enables him to create volume, light, and shadow purely through the use of etching and engraving, virtuoso effects that are especially evident in these early impressions.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I opened up the sample box and this was the first one out. It really is fab! Heavy paper that gives it that importance that you need. Wonderful beach colors and design!"
"This invitation was perfect for my winter wonderland January wedding! we personalized with the light blue font for our names and it looked AMAZING! We received a ton of compliments on this invitation and couldn't be any happier"
"The weight and texture of the paper is beautiful and of great quality. I really liked that the texture and color of the invite carried over to the back of the card. I love the design on this card, I feel like the leaves look like they are painted as opposed to a quick stamp of color. I kept the same font and color as provided in the sample and I thought it was very easy to read and worked well with the over-all look of the invite. The customer service was excellent. I needed more room on the card for the wording and they were able to fit everything the way I wanted it. Also, I needed to call back and order more invites and the customer service was great. Delivery was very timely as well."
"I personalized the invitation with simple black ink. I thought the text was beautiful and elegant and matched the simplicity of the wood grain and leaf pattern. The paper quality was great - the card is stiff and feels like a great paper. I upgraded to the rounded corners, which was a great decision!"
"We saw these invitations and several others and thought they were beautiful. They were just as beautiful in person. The colors and design are beautiful. We love them!"

Going into Lightning training camp, many have Mark Barberio slotting into the 7th defenseman position in the depth chart, but they might be doing him a disservice with that.
The chips fall in unpredictable ways sometimes. In what can be seen as the ideal scenario for the Tampa Bay Lightning, the top defensive prospect in the draft falls to them in the SB Nation mock draft.
It's simply idle speculation, but would an NHL team have the the testicular fortitude to try to nab not one but two of the top prospects in the 2013 NHL draft?
Seth Jones and the Portland Winterhawks will take on Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin and the rest of the Halifax Mooseheads on Sunday in Saskatoon.
Stadium Journey gives the Tampa Bay Times Forum a high ranking; the CHL has two of three conference champions; a Murray is a GM of the Year candidate -- and it's not the one that you're thinking of.
After a 72 game regular season and three rounds of playoff hockey it's comes down to the same two teams playing for the Ed Chynoweth Cup that we saw in this situation last season. Hopefully the series this season is just as entertaining.
With a second selection in the 1st round of the 2012 NHL Draft, Tampa Bay makes their selection in the 2012 SB Nation NHL mock draft... And it's more of the same.
A look at draft-eligible offsensive defenceman Derrick Pouliot
Brendan Leipsic is small, but talented. Can he make it?
Watching a hockey game is a bit different because of how an ice rink is set up. It's not rocket science, but typical sports logic doesn't always apply, either.

The typical PowerPoint flat lines learner's brains. Val Van Brocklin explains and shows in simple-to-follow steps how you can make Oscar-winning presentations that get viewers to LISTEN and REMEMBER. Simple? Yes. But lazy trainers need not apply.
Previously on officer.com.
Last month in How PowerPoint Kills Learning we looked at the brain science which proves that the text-laden manner in which PowerPoint is almost universally used actually impedes learning. If you're interested in that science, the link is below.
What PowerPoint suck looks and sounds like.
PowerPoint is ass backwards when it comes to designing an effective presentation because it's designed to assist the presenter rather than the learner. We've all seen typical powerpoint slides which effectively outline what the presenter wants to say; not necessarily what the presenter wants the listeners to hear or learn.
Designer Garr Reynolds calls these monstrosities "slideuments" – an attempt to merge documents with slides.
Worse yet, these slideuments are invariably read by the presenter. I admit I used to. The software invites you to proceed like this. But, as I explained last month, putting the same information on a slide in text for learners' eyes that is coming out of our mouths for their ears in fact jumbles our message.
Once sucked into a PowerPoint template, the presenter gets a double whammy reward. First, you don't have to actually learn, retain and rehearse what you're going to teach because you can just read it from your slideuments. Second, you can print them out as a handout – so you don't have to separately prepare that either. Sound familiar?
Here's the HUGE problem. This design approach is all about YOU, the presenter, and what you're going to say. It has nothing to do with the learners and what they're going to LISTEN to, REMEMBER, or be inspired to ACT on.
And here's a HUGE question:
If learners can basically get what they need to know by reading your PowerPoint, why do they need you?
We don't have to ditch PowerPoint altogether. I haven't. But we do have to shoot all the bullet points and we have to think outside PowerPoint's presenter-centered software.
Think outside the PowerPoint "presenter-centric" box.
Forget about using your PowerPoint presentation as your handout or as your cue cards. Hard to imagine? Then you're misusing it. I speak from experience.
Instead, think of actually writing an Oscar-winning training script – one that will hook your learners' attention, keep them engaged, and inspire them to act on what you've presented. Then storyboard it. Storyboards are a series of images arranged in sequence for purposes of illustrating a narrative.
Some folks recommend you storyboard first and then write the narrative. It works better for me the other way around but I think this step order is less important than you coming to see PowerPoint as a visual aid for your learners rather than as speaker's notes and a handout for you. It should illustrate and dramatize your narrative – not replicate or outline it.
Anything that needs to be replicated, such as
- In-class exercises or scenarios
- A study guide for a test
- Additional recommended resources
Should be in a handout separately designed for that purpose.
A picture is worth a thousand yada yadas.
Your ideas and information are much more likely to be remembered if they are accompanied by pictures instead of words. The pictorial representation of ideas is such an accepted powerful way of reinforcing information that psychologists have given it a name – Picture Superiority Effect or PSE.
According to John Medina, author of the acclaimed book brain rules and a molecular biologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine, pictures work better than text for reinforcing spoken information because pictures don't compete with the speaker.
When we read text it is processed verbally not visually - we hear a voice in our head. You're hearing a voice right now as you read these words. That's okay for reading. But if the text is on a presenter's slide, the reader's inner voice is chattering the same time the presenter is speaking.

- 8 Books Every IT Leader Should Read This Year
- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
Network World - A system crash: If you're lucky, it only ruins your day. More than likely, you're in for several bad days followed by a few stressful weeks or months. After all, systems rarely fail only once. Rather, they keep crashing until you find the cause and fix the problem.
UPDATE: How to solve Windows 7 crashes in minutes
WINDOWS 8: Operating system is cooked, sent to manufacturers
This primer will show you how to solve problems quickly. Using a tool that costs nothing, you can solve approximately 50% of Windows server and workstation crashes in a few minutes. The tool is WinDbg , the free Windows debugger.
You've probably never used the debugger, don't have it and don't want it. After all, it's a developer's tool, not an administrator's, right? Yes, but what you need to know is remarkably easy to learn, and even a rudimentary familiarity with the debugger could enhance your skills and your resume.
Still hesitant? Think about this: After rebooting a crashed machine, we've brought up the debugger, opened a memory dump file, given the debugger a single command, and learned not only that the cause was a driver, but also the driver's name — all in less than a minute. Granted, the debugger was installed and configured, we knew what commands to use and what to look for.
But so will you by the end of this article.
To date, Windows has been used most commonly on the x86 processor. The x86 implements a protection mechanism that lets multiple programs run simultaneously without stepping on each other's toes. This protection comes in four levels of privilege or access to system memory and hardware. Two of these levels are commonly referred to as kernel mode and user mode.
Kernel mode is the most privileged state of the x86. Both the Windows OS and drivers are considered trusted, and, therefore, run in kernel mode. This ensures unfettered access to system resources and the ability to maximize performance. Other software is assigned to user mode, the least-privileged state of the x86, restricting direct access to much of the system. Applications, such as Microsoft Word, run in user mode to guard against applications corrupting system-level software and each other.
Although kernel-mode software is protected from applications running in user mode, it is not protected from other kernel-mode software. For example, if a driver erroneously accesses a portion of memory that is being used by other software (or not specifically marked as accessible to drivers), Windows stops the entire system. This is called a bug check or a crash, and Windows displays the popularly known Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). About 95% of Windows system crashes are caused by buggy software (or buggy device drivers), almost all of which come from third-party vendors. The remaining 5% is due to malfunctioning hardware devices, which often prompt crashes by corrupting memory contents.
Another little-known fact is that most crashes are repeat crashes. Few administrators can resolve system crashes immediately. As a result, they typically happen again and again. It's common to see weeks and months pass before the answer is found. By solving a crash immediately after the first occurrence, you can prevent time-consuming and costly repeat crashes.
We'll focus on solving crashes under Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003. The process is identical for Windows servers and desktops. With respect to the debugging and interpretation process, this information applies with remarkably little differences to other operating systems, such as Linux, Unix and NetWare.
To resolve system crashes using WinDbg, you need the following:
The memory dump is a snapshot of what the system had in memory when it crashed. Few things are more cryptic than a dump file at first glance. Yet it is the best place to go for information on a crash. You can try to get this data in other ways - a user or administrator may remember what the system was doing when it crashed, or that they installed a new hardware device recently, in which case you can check related drivers or hardware - but they could also forget, providing incomplete or inaccurate information.
Windows Server 2003, 2000 and XP create three types of memory dump files:
Small or mini dump : A mini dump is a tiny 64K-byte file. One reason it's so small is that it doesn't contain any of the binary or executable files that are in memory at the time of a system crash. The .exes are needed for full and proper crash analysis, therefore, mini dumps are of limited value without them. However, if you are debugging on the machine that created the dump file, the debugger can find them in the System Root folders, unless they were changed by a system update (we'll provide a workaround for this later). XP and Server 2003 produce mini dumps by default, one for each crash event, as well as a full dump file. While it saves all mini dumps, the system only saves the most recent full dump. Windows 2000 can save mini dumps, but by default it is set to save only a full dump.
Kernel dump : This is equal to the amount of RAM occupied by the operating system's kernel. For an XP PC with 512M bytes of RAM, this is usually around 60M bytes, but it can vary. For most purposes, this crash dump is the most useful. It is significantly smaller than the full memory dump, but it only omits those portions of memory that are unlikely to have been involved in the crash.
Complete or full dump : This is equal to the amount of RAM in the box. Therefore, a machine with 512M bytes of RAM creates a 512M-byte dump file (plus a little). While a full dump contains all possible data and executables the memory has to offer, its sheer size can make it awkward to save or transfer to another machine for debugging. Windows 2000 produces a full dump by default.
Because XP and 2003 are set up to save a mini dump for every crash event, there should be a mini dump file for every crash the machine has had since it was turned on. This data can be extremely valuable, giving you a rich history to inspect.
To resolve system crashes through the inspection of memory dumps, set your servers and PCs to automatically save them with these steps:
While still in the Start up and Recovery dialog box, ensure that the following options are checked in the System failure section:
In the Write debugging information, you have the option to save only the most recent dump file or to have the system rename the existing dump file before it creates a new one. We prefer saving the dump files because previous dump files may provide additional or different information - however, space can be an issue, so set this option according to your needs.
The Write debugging information section also tells you where the dump file will be created. On XP and 2003 systems, mini dumps are located at %SystemRoot%\Minidump, or c:\Windows\Minidump; kernel and full dumps are located at %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP or c:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. For Windows 2000, memory dump files are located at c:\winnt\memory.dmp.
If you don't have a dump file on your machine, you can get one from another system or download one here. This kernel dump is about 20M bytes zipped and 60M bytes extracted. It was created using a testing tool that generates a system crash.

Don't expect junior running back Mark Dodson Jr. to commit to Arkansas if the Razorbacks haven't found a permanent replacement for former football coach Bobby Petrino by May 14.
That's when Dodson plans to announce his college decision.
"(Arkansas) most likely wouldn't be the school I'd choose," said Dodson, who attends Memphis (Tenn.) Whitehaven High School.
Dodson, who's also considering Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, said it would be difficult to choose Arkansas if the Razorbacks don't have a new coach in place.
Petrino was a key reason Dodson has shown interest in Arkansas. He said he felt confident in how he would be used in Petrino's offense.
"To me, the run was his first option," Dodson said. "He was running the ball a lot but at the same time he was passing the ball efficiently. He had a balanced offense. Now with the new coach, I don't know how things will go. The chemistry might be different."
And Dodson's choice might be different now that Petrino is no longer the coach at Arkansas.

Bishop Seabury Academy Reviews
Bishop Seabury is a solid choice, especially for the middle-school years. The environment is caring, the instruction is decent, and the expectations of kids are high.
That said, I'm not convinced that it's better than the public schools for high school, for most kids. Because of its small size, extra-curricular, class, teacher, and peer choices are very limited. The school is in constant fund-raising mode. And a few of the teachers are borderline average in teaching quality.

Report: Star Lotulelei diagnosed with heart condition, will not work out at combine
Former Utah Utes defensive tackle Star Lotulelei has been diagnosed with a heart condition and will not work out at the NFL Combine, according to a tweet from ESPN's Chris Mortenson.
Utah DT Star Lotulelei, projected top five 5 draft pick, will not work out after echocardiogram detected heart condition. Filed to ESPN.—
Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) February 24, 2013
Lotulelei's left ventricle is pumping at 44 percent efficiency – normal range is 55-70 percent. He will undergo more tests in Salt Lake City—
Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) February 24, 2013
It is not yet known what the test results could mean for Lotulelei's future, but the discovery of the condition puts serious question marks over one of the top picks in this year's draft. Highly rated by many analysts, Lotulelei recorded 42 total tackles with five sacks in 2012 for the Utah Utes.

Based on the projected path of Tropical Storm Fay, the U.S. Census Bureau today calculated that more than 10.8 million people could feel the storm's effects as it moves over the Florida Keys and into southwestern Florida.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Fay will strengthen to a hurricane before it reaches the Florida peninsula. Hurricane and tropical storm warnings and watches were in effect for the Florida Keys and along the Florida Gulf Coast, from Card Sound Bridge (Monroe County) to Tarpon Springs (Pinellas County, near Tampa/St. Petersburg).

The lowdown on BDS 6-inch Ram 3/4-ton suspension
The 6-inch lift is arguably one of the most popular lifts for truck buyers, and it seems to be the bread-and-butter of many suspension companies. It seems like every week we receive a press release from a manufacturer announcing a new 6-inch kit. There are many reasons for this, including the fact that most 6-inch kits allow fitment of the ultra-popular 35- to 37-inch-diameter tire, which is a great all-around size for street or trail.
When Matt Dinelli at Attitude Performance called and asked if we wanted to hang out while he installed BDS Suspension's new 6-inch long-arm kit on a Dodge Ram Mega Cab, we dropped what we were doing (it's too bad we were looking at a new laptop) and took off for his Arlington Heights, Illinois, facility.
The '06-'07 Dodge Ram Mega Cab and the '03-'07 Ram 2500 are basically the same vehicle underneath, so what you're about to read pertains to both vehicles. Read on to get an inside look at what's included in the BDS kit and how it works.

I knew I needed a tool like this but didn't realize how much it would actually help. being able to change the phase and time really solved problems i haven't heard in the past. I would simply toggle a phase invert switch and not really be satisfied with the difference. Now with the little labs tool I'm getting much better results with a more defined sound.
I bought this hoping to use it for drum phase problems, but it seems to really only work on very specific things (guitar amp mult-mic phase problems, etc.). I haven't used it since I bought it. Hope to though!
Just used this on some stereo piano recordings which had phase issues between the two mics. Delaying one channel just wasn't helping enough, a few simple tweaks on the Little Labs later, problem solved!
Great little tool. I use it mostly for tighting up a snare mic with the overheads. It can really bring that focus and punch. Very simple tool but be sure to read the manual to really understand how it works and what it's doing.
I have a home studio and generally work with Superior Drummer for my percussion tracks. I like working with SD because, unlike a lot of drum packages, it provides ambient and overhead mic pairs, as well as a phase inversion button for each channel.
When I demo'd IBP and put it on drum tracks, I was suprised to find out that SD was not doing phase alignment.
IBP allows me to get things all lined up between the overheads and kick, overheads and snare, ambients and overheads, etc.
I also find it invaluable for lining up multiple guitar tracks.
This plugin is well worth the money. A little time and effort with it and you will get very noticeable improvements in your mix.
There's so many knobs you could turn that nearly everything can be brought to or out of phase!
This thing is just plain simple but still a musthave plugg! I just did an album and used it on the Kickdrumtrack - and I wondered how I did it before! You´ll hear the phasey spectrum and you´ll get a clear image, when you´ll achieve the right setting. Simple and Stunning! Thanx UA
Recently used this plugin to parallel process the same track, produced great results considering I purchased it with other uses intended..
Does exactly what it says in the blurb. I used this in Samplitude to fix a phasey mess that had been created in Sonar, where two drum samples which were supposed to be in sync weren't. It didn't take long to get them perfectly in phase and sounding very powerful.
I split my Les Paul into both a Marshall and a Mesa Boogie amp, each into its own Marshall cabinet and both mic'd with an SM-57. In Pro Tools, I could get a great tone from each individual amp and they sounded ok hard panned but they didn't hold up when both were mono. Comb filtering made it sound thin and harsh.
I put the IBP on both tracks, left one alone and changed the settings only on the other and POW!!! A tone that truly sounded like a blend of both tracks even in mono, just like it sounded when live in the room with the two cabinets cranking side by side. Then when I hard panned, it sounded really wide and meaty, nothing thin about it.
I'll be using this all the time now and might have to put it in my template!
Thanks UA!!!
I record in a very small studio where sometimes my mic placement has to be very creative...hahaha. The little labs helps me dial in the little discrepancies in the mic phase and makes every vocal and instrumental nuance glow. I am able to get separation where i had muddiness.
Thanks Universal Audio
The Little Labs IBP is a lifesaver when it comes to phase. Sometimes 180 degrees isn't the right change. I have found the IBP specifically helpful with multiple instrument takes and drum phase.
Incredible problem solver when mixing. Must have!
Extremely useful tool for phase issues, I use it every time I double mic snare, bass drum or guitar cab. Great results also on D.I. & mic bass recording!
Worth every single dollar IMHO!
only UAD plugin I'd really like to return . complete error purchase
I have added the little lab after recordings of my acoustic and electric guitars
Wich were recorded with more than 2 mics
Just sound great and not has that flange effect on the guitars soumd
Have to have it makes sound warm as well !!
During the tracking session some people just hit record and forget to pay attention to one of the most important things when recording drums with several mics: Phase baby! Time Delay! Instead of trying to eq something that's already there, make sure that you're drums live up to their potential by being first in phase. If you're drums are out of phase you can lose tons of punch and low end. The best features to me have been Phase Invert and Delay Adjust. They gave me back everything I thought wasn't there. Start with a solid drum foundation and then eq once you know what's truly there to work with. A go to on every tracking and mixing session.
Title says it all....it's the most versatile phase plug out there in my opinion.Very easy to use. UAD plugs are simply the best plugins out there.
I was impressed with the power of Little Labs. ... In the final mix makes all the difference. With very good price .. is an indispensable tool. Thanks UAD! I recommend!!
If you own more than 2 microphones this is an essential and easy to use piece of kit. Any phase issues through multiple mic-ing on any instrument or ensemble can be rectified very quickly with the upmost of ease.
Universal Audio plug-in is vere nice Little Labs IBP Plug-In

Right. Here's the deal on Yankee trash-talk & this comes from a right winger. Everybody knows it, just MSM won't say it:
Russia is ready to help Western countries to organize free and fair elections, especially the upcoming presidential elections in the U.S. and France. Vladimir Churov, Chairman of the Russian Central Election Commission says that he together with public organizations plans to conduct a distant monitoring of the presidential campaign in America. Lada Korotun provides more details about the novelty.
Presidential elections are taking place in several leading countries in the world in 2012. Russia elected its new president on March 4, France will conduct presidential elections in the spring, while the U.S. will hold them in November. Self-anointed liberals usually refer to the U.S. when word democracy is mentioned, but in truth, the election system in America is replete with surprises disentangling which is nigh impossible. Americans do not take part in the voting personally, but select so-called electors in their states who in turn vote for a candidate of choice. In addition, there is no legislative guarantee for the participation of international election monitors in many states. If it is impossible to send observers to the U.S. Russia will use the distant monitoring method to watch the American polls, says Vladimir Churov.
"We have started working on a system of distant monitoring of the presidential election in the U.S. This is because it is impossible to send a team of election monitors to America, since 6 states have refused to allow monitors in. There is no centralized system of presidential election in America, but each state is allowed to conduct the election according to its system. Monitors can be sent to states which permit it, or election observers should not be sent at all. As a result of this stumbling block, we are working on a system that would allow us to observe the presidential elections in all the states in the U.S. at a distance", Vladimir Churov said.
"Organizations have been formed in each state and they are already carrying out internal observations. In addition, we will analyze information about each state on the social service sites, as well as the sites of political parties and independent candidates. Public bodies in Russia will carry out thorough and honest monitoring, and I believe that we will discover inadequacies in the election system of our American friends".
Vladimir Churov has suggested that America should adopt the Russian system of video-monitoring, saying that it could help the U.S. to improve the reputation of its election system, in terms of honesty and transparency. Bela Kovach, a European MP, who observed the Russian presidential election on March 4 said that in his report to the EU parliament that he would recommend the adoption of the Russian experiment.
Western press & NGO "monitors", puppets who dance to the 1% corporate tune, were gonna claim that no matter what the vote was.
Putin has ordered an investigation of all claims.Russia is a big place. Maybe here & there.
But outta 45 million votes, not enough to be even noticable.
Vladimir Putin is the New President of Russian People
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/user/paulyapo?feature=mhee
The Central Election Commission has sealed the final results of Sunday's presidential elections.
The winner is Vladimir Putin, with 63.6% of the vote, or 45 million votes in absolute numbers.
The Communist Gennady Ziuganov got a little over 17%, the independent candidate, billionaire businessman Mikhail Prokhorov, about 8%, the Liberal Democrat Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a little over 6%, and leader of the Just Russia party Sergey Mironov, about 4%.
The elections were held under the watchful eyes of 685 observers from 56 foreign countries. None reported irregularities in the voting process. All agreed that the elections were fair and complied with international norms.
The inauguration of the president elect is scheduled for May 7th.
Irregularities complaints 'unfounded' – Churov
The Central Election Commission has found all the complaints about official compulsion to take out absentee voting papers ahead of the presidential elections completely unfounded.
The announcement came from the Commission's head Vladimir Churov.
There were 178 complaints of this kind on the voting day, and 168 came on Monday and Tuesday. The numbers are approximately the same as in earlier national elections.
Churov to soldier on
The Central Election Commission has voted 14 to 1 to reject an umpteenth motion by non-voting member Kirill Serdiukov to consider unseating its chief Vladimir Churov.
The Commission gathered in Moscow Wednesday to tally the final results of Sunday's presidential elections.
U.S. President Barack Obama is currently putting through a telephone call to Russian Prime Minister and president-elect Vladimir Putin, media correspondents accompanying Obama in Virginia said, citing Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.
"The president called president-elect Vladimir Putin this morning. Josh did not say whether it was a call to congratulate him (following Putin's victory in Sunday's presidential election). The White House will report on the substance of the call later," according to a statement made available to RIA Novosti.
The media has been rife with speculation as to why Obama did not earlier congratulate Putin, whose election victory occurred five days ago. Yesterday White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "I would not read anything into it beyond the busy schedules of the two."
WASHINGTON - Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger said Sunday that Russia's president-elect Vladimir Putin is a "patriot" who could turn out to be a constructive partner with the United States on certain issues.
Kissinger said Putin, who was elected to a third term as president in an election marred by irregularities and protests against his rule, "is not anti-western."
"He is, above all, a Russian patriot who feels humiliated by the experience of the 1990s, which were in the most formative period of his career," Kissinger said in an interview with CNN, referring to the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and the crisis that followed.
"He is very resentful of what he interprets as intervention in Russian domestic affairs and even more, of course, in what he may interpret and does interpret as some American tendencies to support his political opponents in order to encourage his overthrow," he said.
"But I believe that a dialogue is possible and on specific issues he can turn out to be a constructive partner," he said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has welcomed the United States' decision to simplify visa formalities for Russians.
Commenting on the move, the ministry said that it would promote wider contacts between the two countries.
As of March 9, Russians who were granted U.S. visas before won't need to undergo a visa interview if they apply for a new visa within 47 months after the previous one expired.
The decision is in the spirit of a joint statement made by Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama in Deauville last May.
In France, Socialist presidential candidate Francois Hollande plans to form a united left front ahead of the May 6 runoff.
Meanwhile, the Left Front leader Jean-Luc Melenchon who, according to a preliminary count, has 11 percent of votes, has already called on his supporters to vote for Hollande. The same was done by the Greens' Eve Jolie, who has so far garnered about 2.5 percent of votes. Francois Bayrou, a centrist, who is in fifth place with just over 9 percent, says he needs a few days to make his choice.
A Socialist last won the French presidency in 1988 when Francois Mitterrand defeated the Gaullist leader Jacques Chirac.
Highly qualified foreign experts have willingly started to arrive in the Russian capital. This is the result of the liberalization of Russian legislation, says the head of the Moscow Department of Migration Service Fyodor Karpovets in an interview with the Voice of Russia.
An increase in the number of elite foreign workers has become a recent tendency. This was promoted not only by Russia's "soft" laws but also economic factors related to the crisis in Europe and Russia's admission to the World Trade Organization. About 10,000 such specialists from various countries have arrived in Moscow since 2011, and this figure has consistently grown Fyodor Karpovets said.
"At present, Moscow offers preferences for these foreign workers. They get working permits up to three years and residence visas under a simplified procedure. The only condition they have to fulfill is to prove their qualifications. Another demand is that their salaries should not be less than 2 million rubles a year (about 70,000 U.S. dollars). But this requirement has been halved for scientific workers and teachers. Basically, experts arrive in Moscow from Germany, France, England, Switzerland as well as the U.S. and Israel," Fyodor Karpovets said.
The majority of foreigners without higher education arrive in Moscow from the other CIS member countries. They are mainly working in construction, trade and service sectors, and a small number work in factories. Clearly, under globalization, no country, especially economically developed one, can manage without the involvement of additional working hands.
According to the head of the Moscow Migration Service, the attraction of foreign workers also creates several problems such as the violation of duration of stay in the capital, doing illegal work and committing crimes. However, the number of these violations has gradually declined, Fyodor Karpovets said.
He said that the violation of immigration law is a punishable crime for a foreigner, and he will have to pay a fine of about 200 U.S. dollars. If he violates for the second time he will be deported. In this case, he will be banned from Russia for five years. In fact, the number of illegal foreign workers is declining in Moscow. The reason here is registration or getting permission for work as an expert or unqualified foreign worker has been simplified.
François Hollande has been elected president of France with 51.9 per cent of the votes, according to exit polls, the first Socialist to hold the post since François Mitterrand in the 1980s. Outgoing president Nicolas Sarkozy becomes the first directly elected president to fail to be reelected for a second mandate.
Turnout was 80 per cent, up slightly from the first round last month but lower than when Sarkozy was elected in 2007.
In a hard-fought campaign, Sarkozy managed to narrow a gap that saw Hollande with a greater lead than he eventually won.
Hollande has told journalists that he will "govern to the left" but that he will be the president of the whole French people.
The Serbian parliament looks set to consider formal recognition of the newly-independent republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
In an interview with the Voice of Russia the country's President-elect Tomislav Nikolic dismissed any comparison between the sovereign status of these two South Caucasus republics and that of Kosovo, whose independence Belgrade has never recognized.
During his Saturday's meeting with Presidnet Vladimir Putin Nikolic reiterated Serbia's uncompromising stance on Kosovo even if it hampered its bid to join the EU.
Nicolic thanks Russia for support
The new Serbian President Tomislav Nicolic has thanked Russia for support and said he expects the relations between the two countries to grow and flourish.
Meeting with President Putin in Moscow Saturday, he also received congratulations on winning Serbia's latest presidential elections on May 20th .
Putin said Russia and Serbia are 'sister nations', and their friendship can help them solve difficult problems.
Russia will grant Serbia a second loan package worth 800 mln dollars for implementing infrastructure projects, Russia's President Vladimir Putin stated when meeting Serbia's President Elect Tomislav Nikolic.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Obama made the statement when Putin called a second time to congratulate the US president on his reelection.
"Obama thanked Putin for the congratulations and the invitation and confirmed his readiness to come to Russia at a date to be agreed by the two sides," Peskov said.
"Putin wished his US counterpart success in forming his new team," he said, adding that the two presidents confirmed their interest in "progressive development of bilateral relations in all spheres, including the economy."
Elected president in 2008, on November 6 Obama was successfully re-elected for a new term in office.

Survey Feedback
Questionnaire software made sending us feedback a whole lot easier this year. Record numbers of Festivalgoers took the opportunity to do so. Here we report some trends, some particularly sharp remarks, and some outright contradictions that we could not ignore.
The Civic is an incredible venue. There was endless love for the mother ship and its glorious projection. To the enthusiast who exclaimed "it's my second favourite cinema in the world!!" We're SO pleased!
Getting out is good. More than a few festivalgoers took the time to extol the vibe, the buzz, the roar of the crowd: "It's always great to see the Civic full of people watching a movie. Such a fun shared experience."
The programme couldn't be better. "A spectacular year: NORTE, THE END OF HISTORY was an instant classic, GOBLIN PLAYS SUSPIRIA was a once in a life-time event, and from STRANGER BY THE LAKE to ERNEST AND CELESTINE, there was an astonishingly rich and diverse array of quality programming that the festival should take pride in."
The programme couldn't be worse. "We've been for 13 years and this as the worst selection of films we have ever seen." "Whoever picked the films this year should be fired. Very few memorable or even enjoyable films." Aaargh.
If I can't get to the screening, then it probably shouldn't happen. "Don't put venues in the morning during week days. And try to diversify the evening hours and the venues, to avoid two or more movies screening at the same hours, different venues. It's impossible to see them both!"
Parking Costs Suck. The details are too depressing to publicise further.
Goblin are next to God and Ant Timpson is next to Goblin. How do we top Suspiria?
Ticketing. "Ticketing is the number one challenge facing the film festival." You said it. We are working hard to persuade key partners that this is the case. As wearing as it has been to read them, your complaints provide vivid evidence to all concerned that there really is a problem.
The Sounds of Silence. Our collaborations with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra are an annual highlight for many respondents. In fact "the co-productions with the APO are fabulous!"
The school holidays. "Please change dates so the festival doesn't fall during the school holidays. Aucklanders have this problem every year; we are starting to feel picked on! " vs. "Please could you match the film festival to the school holidays so that teachers/lecturers etc could attend films during the day." Sorry, both, we have less flexibility dating key venues around school holidays than you might think.
Late Comers. Everyone hates you. "If people are late just don't let them in - they'll figure it out." But who will administer first aid and legal counsel to the theatre staff obliged to enact such a regime? We are watching Hoyts' much touted cinema etiquette policy in Hamilton with great interest.
Animation. We noted a lot of disappointment that there was only a single animated feature this year.
No harm in dreaming. "Just keep doing what you do, I hope the Government acknowledges and appreciates the importance of this World Class Event, not only to the festival goers but to film makers and cinema audiences throughout New Zealand. Funding for this event should be automatic."
