Hi all,
Attached to this post you can find 'control', a patch that turns your monome 128 grid into an open platform for custom MIDI controller making. I found the need for something like this some time ago when I was improvising with fellow musicians. I prepared some stuff but during rehearsal I felt that I wanted more control over my interface. Some faders here, some toggles there, an xy-pad … and in a different situation a grid filled with faders f.i.. I wanted to be able to build it on the fly … so I gave it a shot …
Control gives you the ability to draw controls (faders, momentary buttons, toggle buttons, xy pads) onto any place on the grid. I've implemented a paging system for up to 16 layouts (= 16 MIDI channels) which can be saved, together with their presets.
After creating the layouts you can map your controls to your DAW. In Ableton Live f.i., just activate MIDI-mapping, select the parameter you want to control and assign a control on the grid by pushing a corresponding key.
Would somebody care to give this a try? If you do, be sure to read the info in the patch and you'll be up and running in no time. It's still in its early stages so there are still some bugs but it works fine for me. let me know what you think.
download control on github
this looks wonderful-- such great interface design!
with 7.1 i'm getting errors-- togedge: doesn't understand "script"
any ideas?
Oh my I'm cursing this xmas holiday right now. I agree with @tehn the layout is great... Now if I weren't on this Amtrak train remote desktoped over my openvpn server I might be able to give you some feed back. It'll have to wait till I get back my grid on Sunday. @jasper_ryder check it out man.
Now, I gotta ask because I know others are gonna ask the same thing, is there any possibility of a m4l port b cause a number of us have been dying (and I mean reaaaaaaly hungry) for a patch in the footsteps of insanity (yours sounds a lot like it) ported to m4l to use in combination with terms and @elquinto s m4l suite. serial osc apps and m4l monome apps just don't play nice together.
Wow….wow…wow…so smooth @ithkaa. Real amazing work. Just opened it and did a little mapping quickly without any problems. Very intuitive setup!
Like @raws, I use m4l stuff pretty much all of the time at this stage so this beauty won't fit in with my workflow right now, but man, down the line if this could be ported I would be happy to donate to the cause.
It really is aggravating the way osc patches and m4l patches don't jive together! I hope one day the divide is patched.
@tehn thanks! just fixed that error alongside some variables that were out of range (uploaded new version to the first post)
@raws @jasper_ryder thanks guys! I'll look into it. M4L port would mean no pages (since I can't define MIDI channel in output, I think) but perhaps a combination of autofocus and several instances loaded over different tracks could work. I'll keep you posted ...
That would be really cool and helpful. An autofocus version wouldn't be as flexible as the main version but I can think of some killer uses for it.
@jasper_ryder @raws been trying to port the app to M4L today ... as far as I can tell the patch needs a complete rewrite (too many things in 'control' that M4L can't handle). No time for that now, but I might have some alternatives for you. In attachment some M4L devices I created some time ago. It are (more or less) the same controllers that are included in 'control', in M4L format, with autofocus.
Most devices are pretty self explanatory. for 'notes' and 'toggles' there are 'random' and 'pattern recording' options in the upper righthand corner (14 0 and 15 0).
Let me know how it works out.
All the best,
M4L_controllers.zip (196.5 KB)
@ithkaa,Thanks so much! Sounds like the exact thing I've been wanting!
@ithkaa,So far having a good time playing around with 'notes' and the pattern recording. Thanks. Great stuff.
I'm curious what you use the 'toggles' patch for? It doesn't make any sound with my drum rack and I can't midi map it to anything so it seems not functional at this point. I must be missing something.
I want to try and add a toggling option to the 'notes' patch perhaps, as I really enjoy having that on the little 'grid' patch I ported. Could that work with the pattern recording though? I would think it could.
Haven't messed with 'faders' or 'xy' yet.
toggles is just a M4L port of the toggle portion of tehn's grid-midi. to use it you must
same setup applies to the 16 sliders device. XYnome works with Live's Parameter Control.
@ithkaaAmazing so excited to try this on Sunday when I return to gridsville!! Looks like the setup is along the same lines as setting up pages. This is the app I've been waiting for. Thank you so much!!!!!
@ithkaa These M4L devices are great, especially XYnome! Nice work. Super useful. On Toggles and Notes, is there a way to quantize the start and stop of pattern recording?
@hypnosapien tx! I'm using Real-time MIDI quantize for quantizing note output. never needed to quantize toggles so don't have a quick solution for that ...
uploaded a new version of 'control' in the top post. added "keyboard"
@ithkaa,I'm trying to add a toggle option to notes. I pasted the bit of code in and was hoping it would be a pretty simple bit of doing. Could it be as simple as connecting 'gate output 2' somewhere or am I barking up the wrong tree?
gate 2 will work ... but not in this way
here's one with toggle but might not be how you intended

Just had a chance to try this. Very nicely designed, easy to use and very, very useful. Thanks @ithkaa!

Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, Jill Stein has pushed for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
The State of Wisconsin has officially accepted the Green Party's petition and will begin recounting votes this week.
Jill Stein's campaign website initially stated a fundraising goal of $2.5 million, but now claims that she hopes to raise $7 million. This would pay for filing costs, attorneys, and statewide recount observers.
Hillary Clinton and her campaign plan to back the Green Party in this effort to ensure the integrity of the voting system. President-elect, Donald Trump, however, has called the recount "ridiculous" and a "waste of time and money".
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
Trump is going to be our President. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead." So much time and money will be spent – same result! Sad
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
Marc Elias, the Clinton campaign's general counsel, said that the Clinton campaign has not found evidence of voter fraud or election tampering. However, due to Stein's initiation of the recount, the campaign will be joining in on it.
"Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides," Elias wrote on Medium, an alternative blogging site.
Whether the recount will change the outcome of the election results is unlikely. However, in order to maintain voter integrity, the Democratic party feels this is ultimately harmless.

Can we stop talking about "manufacturing jobs"?
A lot of people worry about "manufacturing jobs," but the metric is seriously flawed.
Politicians and some financial analysts decry the decline of manufacturing jobs. There has been some decline, but the way these jobs are measured is inherently flawed, as it fails to take into account the change in managerial attitudes towards vertical integration.
Easy to see why with an example:
Ginormous Corp. makes widgets. In the 60s to mid-80s, as it went from being Bob's Homemade Widgets to Ginormous Corp., it added new facilities which had janitorial, accounting, cafeteria, legal, and other support services. All personnel in these support services counted as "manufacturing jobs."
In the mid-80s, Ginormous Corp. figured out (with a little help from Pain & Co and McQuincy & Co consultancies) that these support services were (a) not strategic and (b) internal monopolies. Part (a) meant that they could be outsourced and part (b) strongly suggested they should be outsourced. Let's say that Ginormous Corp. spun out these support services into wholly-owned subsidiaries, with no significant change in overall personnel.
So, all the personnel in janitorial, accounting, cafeteria, legal, and even some of the technical business support went from being in "manufacturing jobs" to being in "service jobs" without any change to what actually is produced and any actual job.
A metric that can change dramatically while the underlying system and processes don't change much is not a good foundation for decision-making. "Manufacturing jobs" is one such metric, as it depends on organizational decisions at least as much as on actual structural changes.
Metrics: useful only when well-understood.
Note: There are many reasons why focusing on manufacturing jobs over service jobs is a bad idea: Old Paul Krugman explains the most relevant, differential productivity increases, here.

Following up on the success of last year's inaugural seminar at Notre Dame, CREDO will sponsor a week-long seminar on economics and Catholic social thought in Rome this coming year. The dates are May 22-26, 2017 and the seminar is targeted for graduate students and faculty alike.
This seminar is designed as an introduction and immersion into Catholic social thought for graduate students and faculty in economics, finance, or related fields. Participants will cover foundational principles in Catholic social thought starting with the human person, dignity, freedom, subsidiarity, solidarity, and the common good, and moving toward applications of these principles to conceptual understandings and ethical considerations involving economic topics such as utility theory, firm and business ethics, wages, markets, globalization, poverty, and development. Participants will delve into social encyclicals, secondary sources, and relevant economics texts. The course will be lead by economists Martijn Cremers, Joe Kaboski, Mary Hirschfeld and moral theology professors, Fr. Martin Schlag and Fr. Robert Gahl.
In addition to classroom time, the seminar will include the full Roman experience, including opportunities for daily Mass, meetings with Church leadership, visits to famous sights in Rome and good food.
Participants will be provided with accommodations and meals, and a limited number of travel stipends are available on a need basis. For more details or to apply click here. Application materials must be received by 11:59pm on MARCH 4, 2017
This seminar is cosponsored by the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture and the Lumen Christ Institute.

Reason #4: Iowans Have Lost Their Representative In Congress
Boswell Now a "Rubber Stamp" for Speaker Pelosi and the Liberal Wing of the Party
Brad Zaun, candidate for Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, today noted that among the 14 Reasons We Need a New Congressman, none is as important as ensuring Iowans have an independent voice in Washington, DC.
"Congressman Boswell has become a 'rubber stamp' for Speaker Pelosi and the liberal wing of the Democratic Party," Zaun noted. "Boswell supports Pelosi over 98% of the time, and her brand of San Francisco liberalism has nothing in common with the needs of Iowa."
Zaun noted that over Boswell's 14 years in Congress, Boswell has morphed from a moderate to an automatic vote for liberals. "He was elected as a 'Blue Dog'…and unfortunately now he's become Nancy Pelosi's lapdog," Zaun added.
Consider this from the Washington Post's "Who Runs Government" website:
Why He Matters
Boswell won a close House election as a moderate Democrat in 1996, but as the party has accumulated power in Congress the Iowa farmer has moved farther to the left. Boswell has become an increasingly reliable Democratic vote as he has faced pressure from liberals back home.
"Iowans in the 3rd District expect their Congressman to look out for them first. Congressman Boswell plays 'follow the leader' to an extent that he puts the interests of San Francisco and the liberal wing of his party far ahead of those of Iowa. When I'm elected to Congress, Iowa voters can rest assured I'll represent them," Zaun stated.

Civil Rights Groups Welcome Decision, Call Proposed Rental Ban "Unconstitutional and Discriminatory"
CONTACT: email@example.com
SAN DIEGO - In an unexpected but welcome reversal, the city of Escondido has agreed not to enforce a controversial city ordinance that bans renting apartments to undocumented immigrants, a coalition of civil rights organizations announced today.
The agreement is part of a settlement proposed by the city in response to a legal challenge brought by the coalition. A federal judge had already granted a temporary restraining order against the ordinance last month. Coalition attorneys said they believe that it is in the best interest of Escondido and its residents for the city to forego a costly and likely losing case.
"We made it clear before the ordinance was voted on that it would not stand up to legal scrutiny," said David Blair-Loy, Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties, a member of the coalition that fought the measure.
The Escondido residents and landlords who filed the lawsuit said they were thrilled by the turn of events. "I'm glad the city came to its senses and settled this case," said Roy Garrett, a landlord and plaintiff.
The lawsuit charged that the ordinance was illegal and unconstitutional on a number of grounds, including that it was preempted by federal law and violated due process and the property, fair housing and contract rights of both landlords and tenants.
Federal Judge John Houston said last month that the ordinance raised "serious questions" about a number of federal and state issues, and expressed concern about tenants being evicted without due process or a public hearing. Judge Houston must approve the settlement before it goes into effect.
The ACLU was joined in the lawsuit by the Fair Housing Council of San Diego, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), People for the American Way, and three private law firms - Brancart & Brancart, Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, and Rosner & Mansfield, LLP.
"In light of the ordinance's significant constitutional shortcomings, an early resolution is to everyone's benefit," said Phillip Tencer of Cooley Godward Kronish, LLP.
"It is our hope that Escondido will now focus its efforts on bringing its people together, not driving wedges between them," said Alan Mansfield of Rosner & Mansfield, LLP. "It is also our hope that other cities will do the right thing, as Escondido has, and either suspend or repeal similar ordinances."
Omar Jadwat, an attorney with the national ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, added, "Other cities that have similar legislation should heed the lesson of this case. These ordinances will not withstand challenge, and must be repealed."
In response to today's announcement, MALDEF called upon the new Congress and President Bush to enact comprehensive immigration reform early in 2007.
"Local anti-immigrant ordinances are contrary to the Constitution and bad public policy. Many have been defeated across the country and have left communities divided," said MALDEF staff attorney Kristina Campbell. "While Congress failed to enact comprehensive immigration reform this year, at least the city of Escondido has taken a positive step by rejecting an unworkable and unlawful proposal that divided the community and would not have brought us closer to immigration reform."
The judge's order is available at: www.aclu.org/immigrants/discrim/27770lgl20061215.html

First Lady Michelle Obama spoke to students at Peking University in China over the weekend and spoke of the need for China to limit its censorship of information and controlling access to the Internet.
Despite both ABC and NBC hyping Mrs. Obama's "strong message" about the need for an open Internet in China, both networks skipped the irony of the White House not allowing American press to travel with the First Lady to China. Instead, ABC promoted how Obama decided to tackle "hot-button issues" as "she's making headlines over what she said about the Internet."
On Saturday March 22, ABC's David Muir beamed at how Mrs. Obama met China's "glamorous First Lady" before jumping into pushing how during her trip she was "stressing freedom of speech while talking to students there." Over on NBC, fill-in Nightly News host David Gregory pushed how Michelle Obama "delivered a strong message about the virtues of free speech in a country that has little room for dissent."

The most highly anticipated boxing match since Dustin Diamond stepped into the ring with Danny Bonaduce is reportedly no longer going to happen, thanks to a delightful combination of fear, drug testing, and some pretty mean-spirited name calling.
According to statements released by Manny Pacquiao's promoter, negotiations broke down over drug testing policies – an issue that he claims cannot be resolved at this point.
Essentially, Mayweather wants random blood tests to be administered throughout the entire training process. Pacquiao, however, requested scheduled drug testing instead. (Yes, this is literally the only issue keeping us from the fight of the decade and avoiding another "come watch the seven-foot Russian who's screwing the chick from Heroes take on a guy you've never heard of for three-and-a-half rounds of the single least interesting boxing in the history of Khazakstani pay-per-view" promotion.)
According to insiders (and by insiders I mean the guy who sells bootlegged Pauly Shore DVDs at my Taiwanese speed-dating seminars), Mayweather is afraid to fight Pacquio and is looking for any excuse to avoid the match.
Other, slightly more credible individuals agree.
"When the fight was offered, Manny accepted it with no hesitation," Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz told ESPN.com from the Philippines, where he was with Pacquiao. "We're not surprised. We saw this coming once they started this drug bulls***. It was a way for them to get out of the fight. I don't think Mayweather expected Manny to accept the challenge so quickly."
Translation: He's scared.

You can imagine my excitement the other day when not only one, but two review copies of new spinning books arrived at my house. As a keen hand spinner I am always pleased when new books are published to meet the needs of today's spinners and present the craft in a fresh and modern way without compromising on solid, traditional techniques.
The first is Yarn Works by W.J. Johnson, first published in the United States. According to her biography, 'W.J. Johnson has been a spinner and artist for more than thirty years. She is the founder of Saga Hill Design, a design business through which she produces her own dye line, creates designs and teaches fiber arts'. The book is presented in soft cover and has 192 pages, priced at £20.
The second is Spinning and Dyeing Yarn by Ashley Martineau. According to her biography, 'Ashley Martineau is a self taught yarn spinner based in Boston USA. As well as working full time in her fibre art studio, she is also the creative guru behind Neauveau Fiber Arts and www.handspunartyarns.com . This book is published in hardback with 207 pages, priced at £25.
With both of these books under my arm I headed out to lunch with my friends Nic and Mary. both talented and experienced spinners who were only too delighted to offer their opinions.
The first thing to mention was that we all really liked both books but whilst they inevitably both covered some of the same ground, particularly on the technical side of things, their focus was very different. Yarn Works is very much geared towards the spinner who wants to make high quality, beautiful yarn to knit with. The step by step photographs of the various processes involved with producing yarn are clear and concise.
Spinning and Dyeing yarn is more about making beautiful yarn being an art in itself, encouraging the spinner to own the whole process from start to finish - even including instructions on building your own spindles and spinning wheel!
It also gives over several pages to celebrating the beauty of hand dyed fibre.
There are also clear instructions on how to create art yarns, once again with plenty of inspirational photography.
Yarn Works on the other hand is presented as a no nonsense, informative manual which ensures that every page is full of clear instructions, appropriately supported by technical photographs.
The major difference between Yarn Works and Spinning and Dyeing Yarn is that Yarn Works offers a set of simple knitting patterns specifically designed with the hand spinner in mind. I think that this is a particularly useful section as whilst there are countless knitting patterns on the market, it is sometimes difficult for the new spinner to approach adapting them for the yarn that they have spun themselves.
However, I couldn't resist adding another image to show the way that Spinning and Dyeing Yarn celebrates the intrinsic beauty of hand dyed and spun yarn.
In conclusion, all three of us would have no hesitation in recommending both books. If you are looking for a good, solid, sensible and well written manual that takes you from raw fibre to finished item then Yarn Works is for you. If, however, you are looking for inspiration to create yarns that are simply beautiful objects in their own right underpinned by good technical information then I would recommend Spinning and Dyeing Yarn.
I would have a hard job if I had to decide which one to part with but thanks to the generosity of Aurum Press I am delighted to say that I have a copy of each of these books to give away. Simply leave a comment on the blog saying which of these books would suit you best and why and we will have a draw for the lucky winner this time next week.

This article was first published on August 18 2014 and has been republished following news that The Crystal Maze is to be revived in a 'live immersive experience' in London.
Didn't she do well? BBC One boss Charlotte Moore has announced that fondly remembered family challenge show The Generation Game will return to the channel next year – with the equally well-loved comedian Miranda Hart in the compere's role. The gameshow will apparently be "reimagined for a modern audience while staying true to its heritage", with Hart following in the hostly footsteps of Bruce Forsyth, Larry Grayson and Jim Davidson. Here's 10 more retro gameshows that deserve a revival – and who should be the star…
Play Your Cards Right
While we're breathing life back into Brucey vehicles, what about the higher-or-lower card game?
The distinctly un-PC "Dolly Dealers" might have to go, though.
Who should host: Jimmy Carr. It's got to be a solo host, not a double act. You don't get anything for a pair, not in this game.
In its Eighties heyday, 3-2-1 attracted a dizzying 16.5m viewers, keen to see if couples could unravel cryptic clues to win a car – or would go home with mascot-cum-booby prize Dusty Bin.
Who should host: Original presenter Ted Rogers was a former Butlins Redcoat – as is ITV favourite Stephen Mulhern, who would make an ideal replacement.
The Golden Shot
"Up, up, STOP. Left a bit, STOP. Down a bit, STOP… FIRE!" The crossbow-attached-to-a-camera game, based on German format Der Goldene Schuss, was impossibly exciting in its day – which was a frightening 40 years ago.
Who should host: Someone slick but testosterone-fuelled. Step forward, Richard "Hamster" Hammond.
Blankety Blank
Terry Wogan's knowingly naff fill-in-the-blanks game was revived by Les Dawson and Lily Savage but has been off air for over a decade. Chequebook-and-pens might have fallen out of favour but celebrity panel shows sure haven't.
Who should host: Rob Brydon. The Welsh funnyman's current gig, The Guess List, is basically a Blankety Blank copycat anyway.
The Crystal Maze
At its height, this Nineties cult favourite was the most watched show on Channel 4, attracting 6m viewers. Teams dashed around four different zones inside the titular maze, trying to win time in the climactic "Crystal Dome" challenge.
Who should host: Its flamboyant, manic hosts were Richard O'Brien and Ed Tudor-Pole. Their natural successor would be Russell Brand.
Sale Of The Century
Nicholas Parsons' Seventies classic was a general knowledge quiz, where contestants earned money for correct answers, then got the chance to "buy" heavily discounted prizes. Ideal for these straitened times.
Who should host: "And now, from Norwich, it's the quiz of the week!" With that location, it can only be one man: Steve Coogan's alter ego Alan Partridge.
It's Friday, it's five o'clock… It's time for a Crackerjack revival. The classic children's gameshow was frantic and noisy, ideal for today's hyperactive little tykes.
Who should host: A kids' favourite, like Mr Tumble, Dick'n'Dom or the Horrible Histories gang.
Name That Tune
The test of musical knowledge ran for 30 years in the US, where it originated on NBC Radio, and had three British incarnations, hosted by Tom O'Connor, Lionel Blair and Jools Holland. Don't worry if you can't recall Holland's version – it was on Channel 5.
Who should host: Someone with a musical background. Ant and Dec or, as a wildcard, Charlotte Church.
Take a look at the packed-out pro darts tournaments at Frimley Green and Ally Pally – arrers has never been bigger business. The ideal time to revive Jim Bowen's old darts-throwing quiz. Who didn't want a Bendy Bully and their BFH (bus fare home)?
Who should host: Someone with the aroma of a smoky pub, perhaps Al Murray or Micky Flanagan.
It's A Knockout
Part of the international Jeux Sans Frontières franchise, this school sports day for grown-ups saw teams representing a town compete in daft games, usually dressed in outsized foam suits. And falling over a lot, while host Stuart Hall laughed at them.
Who should host: Someone with an infectious giggle and a wholesome, Yewtree-free image. The gig's yours, Michael McIntyre.

This past Saturday, LABB Emergency Response Team and Xavier University's freshman seminar class deployed to Algiers to knock on doors and ask people about pollution as a part of our Emergency Response Team outreach. Even though it was an early Saturday morning with the threat of rain, the Xavier students went in to ERT mode full force and did a phenomenal job!
Part of my job as Research Analyst involves reading through the accident reports refineries are required to submit to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and the National Response Center after a pollution release. There's a lot of jargon in these reports, and a lot of fancy footwork to try and down play the impact of their accidents. One of the questions commonly included is whether the accident caused any off-site impact.
The first report of flaring at Shell Norco came into the map around noon on Thursday, March 6th.
Executive Order #13650: Improving Chemical Safety and Security. This Executive Order acknowledges the importance of better channels of communication between government agencies and first responders, and increasing public access to information about chemical facility risks.
While many community members are aware of the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), some facilities within the state of Louisiana do not list up to date information. When visiting the TRI website on a specific plant, the most recent year listed includes 2012, while we live in the year 2014. Less than one month ago, community members in Shreveport became aware of chemicals in their air not from nearby industry communications, or a government website, but from a bucket analysis. If it had not been for this bucket analysis, community members would not have been aware of these chemicals in their air.
By Anna Hrybyk, Program Manager
Listening Session Public Comment
Executive Order #13650: Improving Chemical Safety and Security
January began as a relatively light month for refinery accident reports. The numbers of both citizen and NRC reports were down from previous month, which could either indicate that refineries were doing better or that no one was reporting. Either way, the accident rate picked up again in the last week of January.
The people of Louisiana are fiercely proud of their home state. New Orleanians can even be described as being "proud of their pride." This is how local chains such as K&B and Hubig's Pies became cherished New Orleans traditions. Cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all solutions that seem to work in every other city are rarely embraced by New Orleans. Why, then, do the core products of New Orleans' most famous tradition not reflect this pride? After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the mentality of Louisiana became one of self-reliance. I see no reason that this should not extend to Mardi Gras.
"Did you see or smell it?" It's Friday, January 31st, and I'm handing out cards with this headline in the Standard Heights community of Baton Rouge. The LABB Emergency Response Team has deployed for the second time this week, due to yet another refinery accident. On Monday January 27th between 4 and 5 pm, we received three reports to our iWitness Pollution Map, all describing flaring at the ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery.
On Monday afternoon we deployed to Chalmette to conduct outreach to increase the usage of the Bucket Brigade's iWitness Pollution Map. As a new employee of the Bucket Brigade, this was my first chance to go out into the field to interact with community members. Growing up in Louisiana, I thought I had an understanding of the pollution issues around the state. After deploying to a fenceline community in Chalmette, I learned so much about an area that I originally thought I knew well.

The PR Is (Also) Settled: Top Public Relations Firms Refuse to Flack for Climate-Change 'Deniers'
In what looks like the final nail in the coffin for climate-change denial, some of the world's most credible professional organizations have just announced they will no longer work with "climate deniers."
That's right, ten of the globe's top public relations firms have declared that they will no longer "frame the debate" from the "sky is NOT falling" perspective.
Along with "the science," the PR is now settled.
A spokesman for WPP, the world's largest ad agency and parent of Burson Marsteller and Ogilvy Public Relations, said...
We ensure that our own work complies with local laws, marketing codes and our own code of business conduct. These prevent advertising that is intended to mislead and the denial of climate change would fall into this category.
The announcement fell like a ton of unread news releases on people who had placed their hope for defeating the man-made climate-change narrative upon firms so trustworthy that they're commonly called "flacks." These are the companies who have popularized idioms like "is that true, or is it just PR?" These are people whose credibility is exceeded perhaps only by used-car salesmen.
Since climate deniers can't find a good PR firm these days, they were unlikely to respond to a reporter's questions, so I didn't contact them for a reaction to this devastating news.
The British Guardian demonstrated its objectively-journalistic professionalism by teaming up with the DC-based "Climate Investigations Center" (CIC), making follow-up calls to PR firms to pop the question about whether they would refuse work from climate deniers. The Guardian even released an "internal email" from the largest independently-owned PR firm, Edelman...
An initial response to CIC from Edelman inadvertently included an internal email which said: "I don't believe we are obligated in any way to respond. There are only wrong answers for this guy."
Edelman eventually did respond, but refused to join the virtuous chorus of information integrity, saying it makes decisions about which clients to serve on a case-by-case basis.
As the Guardian points out, Edelman works for the American Petroleum Institute, and helped to develop the Keystone XL pipeline campaign for the project that would have created thousands of jobs, cut the risk of ocean oil spills and exploding rail cars, as well as reduced our dependence on foreign oil.
Of course, CIC needs no introduction. Formed all the way back in 2014, it's staffed by at least one man, Executive Director Kent Davies, a former research director at Greenpeace, who has apparently hung his own shingle now, doubtless eager to escape the cubicle Hell of anti-corporate America.

Wales manager Chris Coleman believes Gareth Bale coud become the best player on the planet.
The 24-year-old Real Madrid midfielder not only replicated his sublime form in La Liga, at the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday night, but provided Coleman with further encouragement ahead of their European Championship qualifying campaign that begins in September, in Andorra.
He set up the opening goal for James Collins after 11 minutes, with a dipping free-kick, created the second, 16 minutes into the second half, for Sam Vokes, and crowned another princely performance with a goal of his own 20 minutes from time.
"We salute you Gareth Bale," read one banner behind the goal in which he scored his 12th international goal in this, his 44th appearance. Spot on.
"I've just asked him for his autograph and a photo," said Coleman. "I would say he is certainly one of the best I have ever witnessed. He is an unbelievable player, and in that form, he is a fantastic weapon for us. For those who came it was worth the fee they paid, just to see him.
"As far as comparing him with Ryan Giggs is concerned, I would say that he could be better. I always said Ryan is the best I ever played with and I would have loved to have managed him. However, if Baley keeps on doing what he's doing, he will be the No1."
When asked if Bale could go on to win the Ballon d'Or, Coleman said: Yes, there's no doubt about that."
From the moment he whipped in the free-kick that Collins nudged into the far corner with his head, it was a performance of genuine quality. His ability to escape the contact area and accelerate into space, left Iceland chasing shadows. The only pity as far as Bale and Wales were concerned, was that only a handful more than 13,000 pitched up to see the £86million superstar performing in his own backyard.
His contribution to the second goal, was equally as significant as it had been for the first. Having teased full-back Ari Skulason into submission on the left, his shot was beaten into the air by Hannes Halldorsson. However, Vokes leapt highest to head the rebound into an empty net.
Nine minutes later, the provider turned scorer. A crazy run along the touchline created the opportunity and with the drop of a shoulder he cut inside and beat the helpless Halldorsson at his far post. Game over.
Lars Lagerback, the Iceland manager was just about lost for words: "I am not sure that I know enough words in English to describe him."
Coleman helped out. "Unbelievable." And it was. His innate ability to isolate defenders in the final third, his movement on and off the ball and his quality in front of goal puts him up there with Lionel Messi and Christian Ronaldo, said Lagerback.
When Bale left the fray, moments after his clinical finish, there was a well-deserved standing ovation.
If Coleman can work hand in hand with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid and secure the release of his talisman throughout the forthcoming European qualifying campaign, Wales have a chance of reaching their first major finals since 1958.
Coleman is adamant his squad has the depth to end the wait. "The players are showing signs that they want to be here and to turn up for every game, so that's good news for all of us. I said when the pools were revealed that if we could have our best players, all of the time, we had a really good chance. I honestly believe that."

Relationship breakdown – we've all been there, though perhaps not had it documented so succinctly via Macro lens. PLGRMS have done just that – calling on the cinematic sensibilities of director Evan Djirlic with the reveal of new video 'Pieces'.
"It's focused on subtle moments that two emotionally invested people share, be it for better or for worse," explains one half of the AUS/UK duo Jonathan Bowden. It's a narrative that echoes through the track itself, and obviously resonates with tormented hearts across the globe, with 'Pieces' now clocking in excess of 400,000 streams online.

Pivot lock shoes & replacement springs
A quick learner from Worcester, MA says:
June 22, 2016
I'm looking for replacement parts.. Not a good pick but I'm having a tough time removing them. Additionally I need replacement springs, I can not find anything that resembles the ones I have. What I have appears to be a spring inside a tube and does not resemble the balance springs I see on this site.. The are roughly 3' in length too
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 23, 2016
Thanks for contacting us. It's tough to say what the shoe replacement will be without knowing your dimensions. We have a lot in stock that look like your picture, the only difference being their size. Height doesn't matter as much as width and thickness.
As for the balance, you're right, that does look different. Can you tell me the diameter and length of the tube? Can you also tell me if any numbers are printed on it?
A quick learner says:
June 27, 2016
The spring/tube is approximately 41" long x 3/4" wide.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 28, 2016
Thanks! 3/4" is very wide for a balance tube diameter. Can you confirm? Were you also able to see any stamps or markings on the balance tube itself? Finally, were you able to get the width and thickness of the pivot shoe that I mentioned? Check out the video below, this might help you get the proper measurements.
A quick learner says:
June 28, 2016
I have comfirmed that the tube is 3/4" wide and 41" long these are large windows. From best I can measure the pivot lock shoes are 13/8" wide x 21/4" tall. These measurements are while still installed. I am having trouble removing them. I purchase jamb spreaders and was not super comfortable with the sound the jamb was making, when pressure was beginning to be applied. I thought about cutting a notch out at the top that will be covered by the stop but I wasn't pumped about that idea unless I knew it was absolutely necessary. Here is a better photo of the pivot lock
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 30, 2016
Yes, you could make a notch in the jamb track to remove the shoe. Watch the video below to see how you can do this.
We will need all the information we can on this, though. I suspect your balance will have to be custom made so it's important we know exactly what you have beforehand. I still still need the stamp printed on your spiral balance tube, if there is one. If there's not, please let me know. I will also need to know the width and thickness of the pivot shoe. Height is not as important. Finally, at this point I think it's important that we get the weight of your sash, just in case.

Cutting-edge Website Design & Web Development
bundled with online marketing and SEO.
Does Your Business Need A Website?
We Can Help!
Did you know that when researching products and services, 79% of internet users go online first, rather than using a local newspaper or phone book? Businesses that are not on the web - no matter how small - can be viewed as behind-the-times and "less professional" than the competition. The web has become the preferred method to shop and to do research on purchasing decisions.
Even a simple informational website from GoZEN Host Web Services can allow your business to exploit these tendencies, and can provide prospective customers with the information necessary to turn them into a paying customer.
A well-designed website is not only a pretty face for your company, it is an essential part of the success and future of your business
- 1Efficient Advertising - A website allows for constant advertising. It works and advertises for you - even when you can't - providing information on your business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's capacities are almost limitless, which allows you to provide users with more comprehensive information. Plus, it's an on-line brochure/catalogue that can be changed at any time - a website is easier, cheaper, and quicker to update than print material.
- 2Instant Information - People are busy and don't like to wait for information. Unlike your business, which may be open 5 days a week from 9 to 5, your company's website is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions for prospective customers when it's convenient for them. A website can give them what they want, when they want it (plus it's okay for them to wear a bathrobe to a website)!
- 3Professionalism - A web address on your flyers, radio commercials, or television commercials shows your existing and potential customers that you on top of the latest changes within your market. And, an email address associated with your company's domain name has a much more professional appearance than a free email address or one from your service provider (eg, AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
- 4Your competition has a website - If your competition does not have a website then you will be one step ahead! In this day and age, customers assume that you already have a website.

Tiesto & Martin Garrix Partner With 7UP For Can Designs
In 2014, soda brand 7 Up reached out to EDM fans with its 7x7 promotions that were advertised during music festivals such as Ultra Music Festival and EDC Vegas. For the promotion's second year, 7 Up partnered with Tiësto and Martin Garrix as the two producers contribute designs for three limited edition 7 Up cans. Additionally, the two producers have created a new song specifically for the new 7 Up commercial that will debut on March 26 in Miami. These promotions have boded well for the soda brand and is likely why we've seen the addition of the Stage 7 activation to so many electronic music festivals.

October 2015 Edition
Email subject lines can play a significant role in the performance of an email campaign. Uninteresting or otherwise unappealing subject lines can deter recipients from opening a message, even if the sender is known and trusted. On the other end of the spectrum, subject lines that are powerful, evocative, or otherwise pique the recipients' interest will result in more opened messages, and in turn, higher conversion rates.
To reveal trends in word choice, we compared subject lines from over 56,000 campaigns sent during 2014. The 100 most popular words are depicted below. For each word, size and shade correspond with popularity. So, larger, darker words were used more frequently, while the smaller, lighter words were used less frequently.
As in years past, the most popularly used words relate to deals or events (free, sale, party, news, events, newsletter, update, coupons, report, special), or focus on timeliness (today, tonight, week, weekend).
In past reports, messages with short subject lines (4-15 characters) have consistently experienced the highest average open rate. This year defies that trend. Messages with medium-length subject lines (28-39 characters) produced the highest average open rate of 12.6%. Those with slightly longer subject lines (40-50 characters) yielded the lowest average open rate of 11.1%.
In contrast to last year's results, messages with shorter subject lines did not experience higher click rates. Instead, messages with subject lines of four to 15 characters yielded the lowest average click rate of 1.2%. Subject lines with 28 to 39 characters achieved the highest average click rate of 1.7%, and those with subject lines of 51 or more characters ranked second at 1.6%.

Project update!
I'm still without a computer, so I'm typing this on my iPad. Karl gave me the go ahead to buy a new MacBook... But spending that much money right now kinda scares me so I'm just going to hobble around for a bit. I ordered a Bluetooth keyboard and an iPad stand so that it'll be easier to type on from amazon (will be here Friday, I love Amazon Prime!), but it'll mean that I have to sit at the table or get one of those laptop table stands or something (hmmmmm..... I bet I could make one.... Haha like I need another project added to my list!) Anyway... I hope the keyboard works out, because I am only one paragraph into this post and I'm already annoyed with the iPad's on screen keyboard. I keep missing the space bar, and I'm used to a bigger keyboard so my wrists are getting a bit tight already... I hate typing on the hackintosh netbook because it just feels so awkward with the keyboard being so small and my arms being so long... Just feel like I'm squishing myself together in order to type and keep the netbook on my lap. The other problem I'm having right now is that I'm very much a stream-of-consciousness kind of writer. When I'm all done, or if I get interrupted, then I'll go back through what I've typed and only change things if I skipped a word or part of the "story" to make it all make sense to a reader. When I get started on typing something up I start to hit a "groove" so to speak and I let it all come out as word vomit. Otherwise I "over think" things. ANYWAY.... Where I was going with that is that because the iPad keyboard sucks monkey balls to actually do any substantial typing on, I keep having to go back and fix stuff and un correct auto correct and all that jazz and it's messing with my flow. Grrrrr.... So enough with the mini review on iPad typing.
This last weekend I got a little bit more done on Beaner's bed. I added legs to the footboard panel and added the first header to the headboard. I cut the second top crown header thingy but I realized I still hadn't bought the 3" screws needed to attach it so had to leave that off for the time being. Probably only spent about a half hour on it on Sunday but just that half hour made me feel like I actually got something accomplished during the weekend. I get really restless on the weekends and when I'm not quite sure what to do I tend to pace from room to room and it just makes me feel more overwhelmed because I'll see some project that needs to be finished (or started) or some mess that needs to be cleaned and/or organized and then I start feeling like I have all this stuff to do and no time to do it in! When in reality I have lots of time if I would just stop wasting time by pacing or wasting time on eBay, pinterest, or Facebook and just dive in.
Friday night I spent an hour cleaning the kitchen. I'm supposed to clean it on Fridays so that in itself isn't anything to write about its the fact that not even 24 hours later, you can't tell I had scrubbed it clean. Sigh. Such is the life of a mom with four kids and a Karl. Note to self... Next time, don't make spaghetti and chili right after you clean the damn kitchen.
Speaking of chili... I made a big ole vat of it. (the 12 qt stock pot I used is still sitting in the sink waiting to be leaned. Don't judge) I usually make a quadruple batch, cook 1/4 of it in a smaller pot for supper that night and 3/4 of it in the larger 12 qt pot and then put what's left into quart sized freezer bags for Karl's lunches. I put 2 cups in each bag which equates to a large bowl about. We just don't have the freezer space for about 20 bags so I put 4 or 5 bowlfuls (8-10 cups I can't remember) into 2 gallon size freezer bags and then just filled 5 or 6 quart sized ones. Our tiny freezer is currently at capacity so I'm glad I went that route.
Speaking of freezer space... I've been shopping around for a deep freeze and I found one at Lowes I'll probably be buying here shortly. I believe it's on sale until the 16th so I have to get on it. Plus I have a lowes movers coupon for an additional 10% off. We just have to decide where to put it in the basement because we kind of have an outlet shortage in the basement. Hopefully an extension cord plugged into the same outlet as the washing machine will suffice. I guess people in the 40s or early 50s (when we suspect our house was built) didn't need outlets in the basement?

Make a Killer Statement with Natural Gemstones
Eye-catching natural gemstone jewelry has long been fashionable, but many of these semi-precious gems are making a major comeback. Luminous, amber-colored tiger's eye, brilliant blue turquoise and ethereal opal in soft rainbow shades make some of the most stunning rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants.
Tiger's Eye Jewelry
Tiger's eye, also called tiger iron, is a stone found in Australia, Thailand and South Africa. As its name suggests, tigers eye looks like the golden irises of the powerful jungle cat. The memorizing, ever- changing luster of this metamorphic rock is created as quartz crystal replaces the fine stands of asbestos, maintaining a dense fibrous appearance that shimmers as it reflects light.
In ancient times, warriors wore tiger's eye jewelry when they went to battle, as they believed it would offer them protection, strength and insight into their enemies' maneuvers. Ancient Egyptians, who revered members of the cat family, are thought to have used the lustrous gem as the eyes of their sculptured deities.
Today, tigers eye is popular in men's jewelry because of its wild appearance and bronze hues. Quite large samples of the stone can be found, making it an ideal pendant for statement necklaces or for the polished and non-faceted cabochon rings, which show off the velvety fibrous appearance.
Tiger's eye is a stand out stone that makes a great statement as a cabochon on cocktail ring or perhaps the center piece to a bold necklace. Choose something denim or blue to make your tiger's eye really pop!
Turquoise Jewelry
Turquoise is another gemstone that has a long history of popularity. While it is known for its vivid blue color, derived from the small copper component of the stone, it can also take on a greenish or even yellowish hue if it contains iron or zinc. The stone is mined in both Iran and the Southwestern United States.
Historians calculate that the stone has been mined in Iran for two millennia. Because of the stone's heavenly color, early Persians used turquoise to decorate domes in their houses of worship. Aztecs in Mexico mined the gem to adorn their masks and headdresses for ceremonial dances and other rituals. More recently, in the early 19th Century, Navajo peoples have paired turquoise with sterling silver to make ornate rings, wide bracelets and arm cuffs, and elaborate necklaces.
Today, as Native American motifs have become popular patterns for clothing and home decor, so too has Navajo styled turquoise jewelry. Bangles inlaid with turquoise, silver and other gems are particularly lovely. Turquoise is also popular in contemporary statement necklaces, such as chunky turquoise nugget bracelets and matrix- forming bib necklaces. Join the bohemian trend with a big piece of turquoise jewelry. It is a classic stone that will remain in style for years to come, so making an investment in a quality piece of turquoise jewelry is always a smart move.
Opal Gemstone Jewelry
Delicate opal, October's birthstone, is another perennial favorite among jewelry makers. A stone that combines both rainbow flecks of color with a opalescent sheen, some opals are considered more precious than diamonds. White opals are the most well-known, but reddish fire opals and darker black opals are also sought after. Opal's iridescent quality makes for stunning jewelry. Today, opal is still popular in lovely and delicate rings, earrings, and pendants and comes in a wide array sizes and colors, such as pink opal, blue and white just to name a few.
Opal is mined in a wide array of countries, including Hungary, Poland, Ethiopia, Australia, New Zealand, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Canada and the United States. Each country has its own unique type of opal. In Arabian folklore, bolts of lightening brought the iridescent gemstone to earth. Legend has it that Mark Antony loved a large almond-shaped opal so much that he offered a third of his kingdom to its owner, hoping to win the gem for Cleopatra. Later, France used opals in its crown jewels, while both Queen Charlotte and Queen Victoria wore opal rings and gave it as gifts, setting off an opal trend in the British Royal Court.

Our good friend and early supporter, Vincent, came by today to drop off his lot – five ill-fitting blue shirts. The man has class – knowing that our non-profit partner only accepts 'clothing with dignity' (no stains, in wearable condition), he had the shirts professionally laundered before bringing them in. And, he walked out with seven shirts! Vinny, since I don't speak French: muchas gracias homey!
As always, note the following:
- A wimpy button-down collar
- Snuggie-like fit through the arms and body
- Where is his waist? Cause I can't find it.

The audio of the Bible Truth Broadcast radio show for the air date of Sunday, March 21, 2010 has been posted. This is broadcast number 0110, entitled "Enoch" by Saul Cooper. In every age and dispensation, God has had His chosen servants exhibiting to all who are around the power of faith, and the beauty of holiness. In the first age of the world, there was Abel, the first of the noble army of martyrs; spoken of by Jesus in Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.' Then at the time of the flood there was Noah. In the period between Abel and the flood, there was one servant of God unlike all the others before and since, Enoch of whom our text speaks.

A timeless sound in hip hop is created when two beasts in their field marry and the outcome is a stellar tune. Namibia's wordsmith, Brain The Tool and South Africa's beat machine, Buli have finally released their long awaited single Delusions.
Brain placed his heart on his sleeve on this one verse tune, with lyrics like "my words are bullets and I'm just busting back for my Pops" where he pours out sentiments of how he lost his dear father and that he will constantly represent him.
This song is a dedication to his memory:
Bop your head and make a fist bump to this.
