POD HD500 midi - sustain pedal
Like (0)
maybe it's been already answered, but I wasn't able to find any related post.. So my big question is: Is there any setting how to mimic sustain pedal behaviour when using POD HD500 as midi controller? What I mean is to set one footswitch to send one MIDI message when pressed (eg. CC# 64, value 127) and another when depressed (CC# 64, value 000)? I've bough Terratex Axon 100 MkII for guitar-to-midi setups and I would like to completely control it through MIDI by POD HD500. I was able to set everything except this sustain-pedal-like behaviour. I know I can use expression pedal to do something similar, but it doesn't have the feel like when classic sustain pedal style is used...
hola, podrias hacer el circuito unilineal de las conexiones para entender mas tu consulta.
desde ya gracias.
Sorry I don't understand Spanish :-(
But I have an idea, is it safe to connect classic switch pedal into connector for external expression pedal? My idea is that it could send valu 000 when depressed and valu 127 when pressed...
I dont think you can do it with the footswitches. Sustain pedals are 'momentary' and are 'on' when depressed and 'off' when released. The footswitches on the HD do not support that mode. Only toggle (one press for 'on', second press for 'off').
However,you can do it with the expression pedal just by doing a MIDI assign. Obviously the EXP pedal is not spring-loaded but the setup should be otherwise familiar! This assumes that the device you are controlling accepts the midi convention of cc value 0-63 = off, 64-127 = on.
Thanks for your reply. I already tried your solution, it it definitely better than using footswitches for sustain, but not perfect. I might stick with extra sustain pedal for now. I also tried to connect sustain pedal instead of external expression pedal, but result isn't perfect. Sometimes it do everything right but sometimes it stuck in "pressed" MIDI value and doesn't return to "depressed" value. I might try one roland sustain pedal (don't know exact name or model) with switch for continuous setting I've seen used by friend of mine...
I'm "reopening" my little bit old topic. Today I've found that if you set any footswitch to send MIDI Note On Message, footswitch send Note On message when pressed and send Note Off message when depressed. So hardware of POD HD500 is capable of sending different midi message when footswitch is pressed or depressed, so it's only matter of implementing it into software (firmware). I've already made request of this feature. If anyone wants this too, please make request, too...
If you have ever experimented with the Test Mode on an HD500 you will clearly see this too. Test Mode is right nav button held down when powering on and you need to go into it to do the expression pedal calibration; well underneath Expression Pedal are a set of other options one of which is switches.
In this mode you have a page of zeros and as you press each switch down the first zero relating to that switch goes to 1, and as you release it the second zero changes to 1. Clearly the software can see down and up events for all switches, so as JanKupsa has worked out it should be possible to have the switches act in a press to hold mode or to send controller values if L6 chooses to give us this functionality.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Clear Policies and guidelines as a tool to communicate e.g. financial reporting objectives, internal control requirements and ethical values, to both internal and external stakeholders

Jun 3, 20121You cannot skip cut scenes. I started on the hardest available setting and died almost instantly. I went to restart and I had to watch the whole thing again. Every 5 minutes you get a new cutscene. It is not a game, its a film. The trouble is, if I wanted a film, id buy a film. This is not a game, therefor it cannot be reviewed as one.
Jun 1, 20123
Jun 2, 201210Best game out in the last six months of 2012. Amazing gameplay, nice graphics, unique optimization, not bad multiplayer. This game everyone should to try! Good job Rockstar.

Jun 21, 20127After I finished the game, I tried to play it one more time....
...but then....
..... I got frustrated like hell..
because I had to watch the long cutscenes again and again..
I tried to skip them but I couldnt skip them most of the time -
Jun 1, 201210Outstandingly good PC implementation. DX11 and multi-monitor (widescreen) support is great. Runs well and looks awesome. Really enjoying the storyline and gameplay. This is a good day for PC gaming, congratulations Rockstar for delivering a game worthy for the PC platform!

Jun 7, 20124A big expensive movie with sometimes a couple of fights.
Impossible to save your progression as wished or as needed, it's btw a console game.
Max dies every 30 seconds, nearly impossible to accurately aim, even with laser help.
This game is exhausting and upset me. When you just start to feal immersed, a cut scene ruins the experience.

Jun 1, 20125I am rather confused with this title as I thought I bought a game and not a movie? When I get to play the game its good but its truely annoying when you sit watching cutscenes which never end and suddenly transition into the typical Max Payne jump, and you go oh gosh I am supposed to play now.

Jun 21, 20125Nice graphics, nice cutscenes, very good voice-acting, but the shooting somehow lacks and the situations seem artifical and set up. All in all, half-way through, it begins to become boring and veeeery predictable.

The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is so smooth, and the story is great. Best of all, it is optimized extremely well. My Radeon 6950 was playing this game at 5760x1080 resolution maxed out with 2x MSAA
Jun 1, 201210I love the mechanics, the graphics, the storyline, and especially the new combat system. The only thing I dislike, but I don't see how it possible to change it without making it a distraction, the aim system. Otherwise the game I love the game even if the amount of hard drive space it takes is huge.

Jun 8, 20126Just finished playing through MP3 & am a bit miffed. It's an ok third-person shooter but just doesn't have the feel of a Max Payne game.
Epicly-long, unskippable cut-scenes, constant eye-irritating 'effects' & the game deciding to switch out your main weapon for a pistol at every opportunity are some gripes. You will discover others... -
Jun 16, 20120Very disappointing game play. Too many movies. Overall much worse game than previous MP1,2. Game just isnt fun to play. Not worth the money. Very sory for missed chance.

Jun 1, 201210This is great game. Performance was good, story was good. Little problem was cut scene. Actually, cut scene itself was not so bad, whole campaign looks like one action movie, but some times cut scene part was so long. Excepting that problem, Single play was awesome.

Jun 3, 201210First off I have I7 920 and gtx 680 with windows 7 and it runs great ! Some of the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game before. Some people are complaining of the amount of cut scenes in the game , but I happen to like them because it makes the game much more immersive. Only about 17 hours of gameplay for single player , but it was awesome.

Jun 2, 201210Rockstar managed it again to impress me, even after all the games that came out this year .. This game feels like playing a movie and thats what i want - i want to get entertained, without thinking of balance or competive thing. Just play and enjoy the story .. really good job rockstar, thumbs up!

Jun 2, 201210New game from Rockstar become a new word in genre third-person shooter. New developers added many new elements of gameplay, make excellent graphics and animation. And many many different details. Max Payne... He is really come back.
Jul 10, 20125
Jun 27, 20123Not a Max Payne sequel, and barely even a game. Just know that going in, and wait for a major price drop, and you might not feel cheated. It's a good action movie broken up by some very short, bland and clunky gameplay sequences. The movie itself, while cliched, is actually pretty good. The gameplay, though, just barely amounts to just another cover shooter.
Aug 22, 201210Just great, I love it. The graphics, the gameplay, the story! If anyone is bothered by the price: Wait and buy it later, like I did. Bought this new game on the Steam summer sale for
Sep 23, 201210fantastic graphics, awesome action, a great story...one of the greatest game i've ever played....though it has some problems on pc version, it gave me a great time ....so 10/10 from me....
Jul 16, 20122
Jun 7, 20124It's just another generic shooter with the Max Payne name slapped on it to sell copies. Poor sequel to the excellent MP and MP2. Cutscenes and cover, cutscenes and cover. Blah. Skippable.
Jun 3, 201210A+ Single Player (ofcourse free aim)
with an A grade Multi-Player (free aim as well)
Gorgeous graphically, engaging story and gameplay, wonderful mechanics; and most of all- Does Max Payne franchise JUSTICE and perhaps past nostalgia is the greatest of the series. Must buy. GOTY candidate! -

Jul 23, 20120A game that tries to be a movie accompanied with console-port performance and controls while forcing us character story down our throats with a plunger. Nothing more to be said about this one than STAY AWAY. Watch walkthroughs if you want to know how everything plays out as an old fan instead of flushing your money down the sink.
Jun 4, 20128
Jun 7, 20121The game is complete junk, did anyone test the mouse movement? The mouse acceleration is horrible. The mouse sensitivity becomes super slow during most actions. The enemies models are too small, which makes the game feel wrong and unrewarding. The pacing of the game was a joke too. The only good thing was almost every object in the game was destroyable and a few good lines of dialogue.
Jun 4, 201210Superb game! Very close to a movie masterpiece. Awesome gameplay, dialogs, story and graphics. Of course some may find that there are too many cutscene, but u can always jump them. One of the best game of the last years. The pc version i trieed is very good, only 2 crashes in a lot of our of gameplay. Very, very good Rockstar!

Jun 12, 2012080 % cut-scenes and 20 % gameplay. Please, I wanted a game not a movie. Definitely not a true sequel to Max Payne 1 and 2. I expected better from a game which was soo much anticipated.
Jun 3, 20129Very impressive. A few graphical hiccups - but a wholesome, thrilling and paced game. Haven't played the previous Max Payne games, and this has been an excellent game nonetheless, and has in fact bolstered by knowledge of the overall trilogy?

Jun 19, 20121Every 5 minutes you get a new cut scene. It is not a game, its a film. The trouble is, if I wanted a film, id buy a film. This is not a game, therefor it cannot be reviewed as one. Boring story, boring game play, boring dialogue, Oh, and shaky camera. How novel! Yawn

Jun 4, 201210I have been waiting for Max Payne 3 for a long time and it didnt disapoint. The story is excellent the graphics and sound are both PC quality and the combat plays out with some of the best ragdoll physics and blood effects I have ever seen. The game can get brutaly hard at some points but I never wanted to give up and im still craving more after beating the storyline.

Jun 17, 20128
Jun 2, 20128I really liked this game. I keeps me immersed. Movement/shooting is good, cut scenes blend well in to the game play. They can get annoying on harder difficulties having to see them more than once due to deaths.
Multiplayer is fun and doesn't just seem like a last minute tack on.
Oct 13, 201287Max Payne 3 feels like a PC original, in a very good way. [Aug 2012]
Aug 31, 201291Its deviation from the mood instilled by its predecessors might annoy some purist fans, but Max Payne 3's undisputed quality standards in all accounts will make them look the other way and enjoy the game as it is. [July 2012]
Jul 29, 201290Max Payne is god and it really doesn't matter that he is not the fair one. He is the most interesting action character these days and the game itself is one of the best you can get. [July 2012]

The staff are really violent and aggressive. They don't have a key for the room and the window was broken. Also, the room and the toilet stink a lot. julie, from Canada ~ 31st Dec 2012
For this money, its fine place. Maybe the strange, that no required the key of door, where you live, but it also like the problem, was solved. All things, that you need, take myself (passport, different cards, money) Nice place for staying for a couple of days. Leho, from Estonia ~ 28th Dec 2012

Giorgio runs a very quality hostel and it is evident that he cares about guests and is continually improving little things based on the feedback guests give him. The property reflects that he takes pride in managing the hostel. I would very much recommend staying here if you are a traveler looking for something affordable, accomodating, simple, and relaxing. Brian, from USA ~ 10th Jun 2012
This hostel is like a pearl on the coast. It is right next to the bus station and has a big garden with 2 giant mango trees, that give their fruits freely to tired travellers. All over the space are plenty of hammocks and the big patio has the welcoming atmosphere of a living room. The sanitary facilities were very clean and inviting and provided hot water. The beach is just around the corner. We had a wonderful relaxing time and it was worth the way from Limon. We highly recommend this hostel Bettina, from Germany ~ 22nd Dec 2011

From My Fox Orlando:
If you have ever visited Parrish Medical Center in Titusville, you may have seen anesthesiologist Dr. Zachary Bird.
Bird was arrested Sunday morning. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, he was driving on State Road 417 near Curry Ford Road when he almost hit a trooper.
Troopers said they found $54,000 in cash on him, along with pills and some kind of liquid. The report states that a trooper could smell alcohol on the doctor's breath and that the tags on his BMW had expired.
A camera in the patrol car recorded Bird beating his head against the car and yelling at the troopers.
"You officers are stealing my money out of my car!"
His head bloodied, he asked to be taken to the hospital. As the camera continues to record the incident, one can hear a trooper say, "He spit on me. He got blood on me."
Sometimes video cameras can be a very good thing. This fool doesn't deserve to keep his medical license. What an idiot. Physician, heal thyself!

In last week's election Republicans won between 53 and 55 percent of the popular vote in North Carolina, depending upon which source of information one uses.
That, one would surmise, should lead to Republican control of both houses of the state General Assembly, as well as the majority of the state's delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, by about a 10-percent margin. In real numbers that would mean perhaps a 28-22 advantage in the state Senate, maybe a 66-54 GOP majority in the House of Representatives, perhaps a 7-6 advantage in the state's delegation to the U.S. House.
The actual numbers are startlingly different, with the Republican Party taking 31 of the state's 50 senate seats, 77 of the 120 state house seats, and nine of the 13 seats to the U.S. House.
How can this be?
Through a process called gerrymandering. That is the practice of redrawing political districts with one goal in mind: increasing the likelihood your party will win a majority of seats. Common needs or interests of the people in a given district, geography, a common history — none of those factors matter to a political party in power that is intent upon reconfiguring districts in such a manner as to assure the party retains its position of power. Interestingly, various versions of a common thesaurus list as a primary synonym for gerrymander the word "cheat" or "cheating."
That is what has taken place in North Carolina. Every ten years the U.S. Census Bureau does its thing, counting the residents of the nation, and then state governments around the nation use those figures to redistrict their state.
The Republican Party, which seized power in the General Assembly for the first time since the Civil War in 2010, redrew districts to ensure an overwhelming GOP victory in the elections, even if the actual voting numbers showed a more even split among state residents.
To be fair, the Democratic Party did this for the better part of a century, its leaders determined to stay in power even if the interests of the people were not well-served by the redrawing of district lines. Over time the residents of North Carolina became increasingly dissatisfied with the Democratic Party and liked the alternatives offered by the Republican Party, so much so that the GOP was able to overcome Democratic gerrymandering and take control of the General Assembly.
Two years ago we expressed a hope that the GOP would demonstrate itself to be, at least in North Carolina, a true party of change, that it would show itself to be above petty party politics and appoint a non-partisan committee to redistrict the state. Unfortunately, that was too much to hope for.
Now, however, we renew that call.
Given that we have eight more years before the next census, one might wonder what's the hurry? Developing the manner in which such a committee would be appointed, and how it will function, is no small feat. We suspect even if there is a serious effort to make such a change, it will take multiple sessions of the General Assembly to come to fruition.
And there's nothing wrong with having this set and in place ahead of time.
We hope the legislature, and at least our local representatives there, will give this serious thought as the 2013 session approaches.

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPS Xeno: FP13X Fastpitch? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionI have the 2012 Louisville Slugger Xeno, 33" 23 oz. and when I shake it, it makes a rattle sound inside. The Endcap seems tight. Should I start looking for a new bat?
It seems like it has been damaged in some way. If it is still covered under the 12 month manufacture warranty I would call Louisville Slugger at 800-282-2287. If it has been longer then that then I would look into the new 2013 Louisville Slugger TPS Xeno: FP13X Fastpitch.
Do you have this bat in stock, XENO 33/23?
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPS Xeno: FP13X Fastpitch is available in a 33" 23 oz.
My daughter has one of these 2013 Xeno bats. It's a demo and was given to her by a college team that uses it for batting practice. It has a bad rattle to it like a can of spray paint. It is a hot bat right now but is there anything I can do to it to stop the rattle in it? Like pop the end cap off and remove the rattling. Someone told me to stuff it with cotton balls and glue it back on. What do you think?
I would not mess with any part of the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPS Xeno: FP13X Fastpitch bat. If you take the end cap off it will damage the bat. Just because there is a rattle does not mean the bat's performance will suffer. The manufacturer reps. have mentioned that to us many times here. I would leave it be.
Product Description
New for 2013! Many of the best teams in college and high school softball were swinging the Louisville Slugger TPS Xeno this past year! That's because they learned the old fashioned way which bat was the hottest: through thousands of hours of practice and play. The dedication that Louisville Slugger put in to create the Xeno design really shines through in this year's model, and it all starts with S1iD Technology. This technology actually allows the barrel to be tuned to exceed the legal ball exit speed ratio. The catch is that a governor is placed inside that allows the barrel to flex to its MAXIMUM allowable performance from SWING 1. The Xeno is made from Louisville Slugger's innovative new LS 2X Composite, yet due to the S1iD technology, it needs ABSOLUTELY ZERO BREAK-IN! The Xeno features an iST design that gives this bat a solid connection between the barrel and handle. iST provides players a bat with a solid feel and HUGE sweetspot, while absorbing vibrations from mis-hit balls before they reach the hands. With a tacky synthetic grip a 7/8 inch handle, the Xeno will give players absolute control at the plate. If you are a fastpitch player looking for THE top-of-the-line bat this season, look no furthur than the TPS Xeno! Louisville Slugger: In a Class Above Any Other! The Xeno is approved by ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA and ISF. This bat comes with a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

4 New SBA Online Tools That Can Take Your Small Business to New Levels
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: November 29, 2012, 7:08 am
- Updated: December 4, 2012, 11:59 am
The old adage "time is money" is perhaps one of the most pertinent statements that you can apply to small business owners. Whether you're starting a business or managing a growing one, entrepreneurs and business owners wear many hats and have many questions:
- What laws and regulations apply to my business?
- How do I start to write a business plan?
- Where can I get help with X, Y and Z?
Many of us invariably turn to our networks and the Internet to find answers. But how can you trust that the information you are getting is truly applicable to your business and, let's face it, even accurate?
As part of its mission to help business owners start, succeed and grow, SBA, through the SBA.gov website has developed numerous online tools and guides to help small businesses get information and answers they need quickly and efficiently. For example, these 10 Steps to Starting a Business and these 10 Steps to Hiring your First Employee guides are essential reading. SBA Direct is another useful tool that personalizes business owners' experience on the SBA.gov website. Then there are the Licenses and Permits Search Tool and the Loans and Grants Search Tool.
New Online Tools to Help Business Owners Plan, Manage and Grow
Over the past couple of months, SBA has expanded its capacity and selection of tools and information business owners need by developing a whole range of new online features! Check them out:
1. Get to Know Your Market and Competition Better with the SizeUp Tool
Want to know how your business stacks up against the competition? Where your potential competitors are located? Where the best places are to advertise your business? These are all critical inputs for your business plan and can also help back up any financing applications.
Now with the new SizeUp tool you can crunch millions of data points and get customizable reports and statistics about your business and its competition. Just enter your industry, city, state and other details. SizeUp then runs various reports and provides maps and data related to your competition, suppliers and customers. It also highlights potential advertising opportunities.
2. Build a Business Plan Tool
Business planning can seem a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be that way. To help you plan and steer your business, this new "Build a Business Plan" tool guides you through the process of creating a basic, downloadable business plan. The great thing about it is you can build a plan in smaller chunks of time, save your progress and return at your leisure.
To use the tool, simply log into SBA.gov (registration is free, sign up here) and enter information into a template for each section of the business plan including, market analysis, company description and financial projections. The tool is secure and confidential and will keep your plan on record for up to six months. You can also save, download or email the plan at any time.
3. Size Standards Tool –Find Out Fast if You Qualify for Government Contracts
In order to be eligible to sell to the government and compete for small business "set-aside" contracts, business owners had to rummage through various rules and matrices to find out if their business is truly "small" according to SBA size standards. Now, with this new Size Standards Tool, you can follow three simple steps to cut through the guesswork and quickly find out if you qualify for government contracting opportunities. SBA also offers other resources including government contracting training courses, and guides to help you register as a contractor.
4. Events Calendar – Locate Business Training and Seminars
SBA and its partners, including Small Business Development Centers, Women's Business Centers, and SCORE, hold hundreds of small business training seminars and workshops across the country. Until now, there was no single repository for these events. Now, with SBA's Events Calendar, you can quickly find and sign up for training. Enter a date range and/or zip code to locate events in your area. Results are filtered by topic such as "starting a business," "managing a business," "business planning," and "financing a business."
Tell us what you think about the new tools below. You can also Tweet @SBAgov or post your feedback on the SBA Facebook page.

Besides a Ravens win is Joe be MVP. The last Ravens autograph I got was Joe's in his rookie year. I didn't have anything other than a authentic helmet with Ray's autograph on one side. I said to joe that night "now you see who's name is on the other side of that right?" He said yes he saw it and I then said that he now needed to live up to that. LOL photo
It would be nice to have a helmet with the autograph of the possible two mvp's of the Ravens SB wins.

Spring is in the air, the birds have begun chirping and flowers have begun sprouting. But let's be honest, if you're in high school, the ONLY thing on your mind right now is prom! Dates are being asked, limo rides are being orchestrated and teens everywhere are asking the same question: what am I going to wear to prom?
This prom season, there's no need to look any further than Mapleview Centre. With hundreds of shops offering dresses to tuxes and pumps to oxfords, there is something for everyone. Unsure as to what trend best suits you? Not to worry, I'll recap some of the trends from award season and what's hot this spring so you can pick an outfit that best suits your style.
Metallic Gold – This year is all about drama. And I'm not talking high school drama, I'm talking floor length gowns with metallic gold accents. Be sure to balance the hue with black or neutral accents.
Bright White – Flowing, ethereal white gowns were a top pick and are the perfect nod to summer. To avoid a bridal look, add black or bold metallic accents.
Colour Pop – Consider yourself a risk taker? Why not opt for this season's biggest trend: neon hues. Whether it's fuchsia or chartreuse, there's a bold gown out there with your name on it.
As for styles, peplum reins strong while risky slits and embellished prints are new to the scene. Consider a baroque inspired pattern for a true statement.
As for the gents, don't be scared to shy away from a classic – a slim-fitting black suit. Personal details to customize a suit are really popular such as patterned bowties, lapel pins or bold puffs. Other popular styles include dark grey combos, three piece ensembles and a window-pane printed suits.
Perhaps you've already done the prom thing and spring to you means something else – cleaning out your closet. If that's the case, Mapleview Centre invites you to share your style this prom season and donate any new or gently worn dresses, shoes and accessories (stuff for guys is also welcome!) to Guest Services. Mapleview has partnered with Brash Avenues for Project Prom, an initiative that offers students an opportunity to experience prom the way it was meant to be celebrated – in style.
Drop off your goods between April 10 to May 10 and you could win one 1 of 5 $200 Mapleview Gift Cards to spruce up that empty space in your closet. But you didn't think we'd stop there right?! There will be a grand prize draw for a $500 Gift Card to Mapleview Centre along with a 2 hour styling session with yours truly!

So what are you waiting for? Get those closets cleaned out!

My refrigerator runs way too much - is this because it doesn't seem to be level? It doesn't seem to be any other reason.
migrated from money.stackexchange.com Feb 7 '12 at 14:14
A fridge motor is controlled by a thermostat - a device that reacts to temperature inside the fridge. So fridge motor starts/stops are completely agnostic to whether the fridge is level, the only practical consequence of fridge being non-level is extra noise. The most likely reason for fridge motor running too often are the following:
Some additional reasons a fridge may be running too much, beyond what sharptooth posted::
Also, I know it's recommended for a fridge to have a certain amount if clearance behind, around, and underneath. If it is too close to the back wall or there is a bunch of junk under/around it preventing proper circulation, it can adversely affect it. I am not sure if this will cause it to run more, or just be less efficient. |

Jim Peterik, best known as a member of the band the Ides of March, says the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., inspired him to put his feelings on paper and write a song.
The song "Newtown (You're Not Alone)" was recorded several weeks ago at Peterik's Burr Ridge studios and is now available on iTunes. His friend, musician Marc Scherer of Wadsworth, co-wrote the song and sang lead vocals. Peterik played guitar and did backup vocals. Joe Jammer, who was the first guitarist for Supertramp and a studio guitarist for Mick Jagger, Joe Cocker and Ringo Starr, also played guitar for the song.
"I put my feelings into songs," said Peterik. "(Sandy Hook) has moved me more than anything else has since 9/11."
Peterik came up with the name of the song from a newspaper headline quoting President Barack Obama about the shootings.
Peterik and Scherer said all proceeds from song downloads would go to the United Way's Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
Scherer said he was more than willing to help Peterik write the song, adding that the incident hits close to home because he has two children in school.
"I think a lot of people were impacted by the incident because of the innocence of the victims," said Scherer. "Jim and I got on the same page pretty quickly, and we wrote the song."
The 3-minute-35-second song, which has an up-tempo rock beat, begins with the lyrics, "Words unspoken, hearts and promises broken, tributes — flowers, vigils — countless hours, the loss of our innocence, hopes and dreams, the cold voice of violence, softly screams." The chorus repeats the words "You're not alone."
Peterik said writing this song as well as others usually happens very quickly for him, but he said Scherer helped him finish the lyrics and brought other great lyrics to the Newtown song. Peterik, who met Scherer at a music studio two years ago, said the two often feed off their energy when writing songs.
"We hope people enjoy the song but also connect with it," said Peterik.
Peterik, who grew up in west suburban Berwyn, formed the Ides of March in 1967. His hits include "Vehicle," "You Wouldn't Listen" and "L.A. Goodbye." He also formed the band Survivor in 1978 and co-wrote "Eye of the Tiger" for Sylvester Stallone and "Rocky III."
Peterik said it was unclear how sales were doing but said he believes the song might gain popularity once the music video is posted on YouTube and people can sample it.
Scherer said Greg Bizzaro, owner of Jaffe Films, was working on a music video that includes mock images of the memorials for the children, a balloon release and images of the performers. Peterik and Scherer said the video would be in black and white with some color to stress key elements of the song.

Did you make a New Year's Resolution? How's that going? The first of the year brings new beginnings and for many of us new goals. Unfortunately, only a few weeks into the month, many resolutions have gone by the wayside, some never even getting off the ground. Some people gave up a long time ago and have resolved never to resolve.
Why are these commitments sometimes so complicated and elusive? We seem earnest about our goals, but for some reason the plan is doomed, sometimes before we even speak the promise. Especially in this world of bank accounts shortage and belly fat overages, healthy goals are good. But how do you keep those well intended resolutions against all odds?
A few easy steps may make it easier to accomplish your resolution. Any goal can be spelled out S.M.A.R.T. ly:
1) S-Be specific and have a tangible, measurable and achievable outcome. The Six 'W"s are important. Who is involved? What do I want to accomplish? Where is the location? When does this time happen (time frame)? Which obstacles and requirements are considered? Finally, why is this goal important to me?
2) M- Measurable. Make sure that the steps that you are taking are measurable. This will help you stay on track, motivate you to continue your journey and tell you when you have concluded your quest.
3) A- Attainable. Your resolution must be something that you know you can do. Ask yourself, "Is this something I can commit to?"
4) R- Realistic. Once again you have to ask yourself if this goal is 'doable'. Are there any major obstacles that you may not be able to handle such as time or money? Can this goal, or resolution, be chopped into little pieces, with each plateau leading to the next stage of the goal? Remember how to eat an elephant – one bite at a time.
R- Rewards. I have to add this one because rewards motivate us and help us to continue our quest. Reward yourself with a movie (but skip the buttered popcorn), when you lose that first five pounds, or take a trip to a museum with a friend. Make a list of things that make you happy (that doesn't contradict your goal) and be ready to reward yourself when you reach your set mile markers.
5) T- Time. Setting a time frame is imperative for your goals to be realistic and measurable. Without a time frame, the goal is vague and there is no motivation to get started and the resolution often fizzles. Make your time table realistic and flexible. If you fall off the horse, get back on but maybe next time, try the pony.
Til next week – Happy and Healthy Beginnings!

"So Sweet"
A great listen The story, the characters, the narrator.
I LOVED the mother-in-law, she was hyserical.
It's great when a romance novel has LOL scenes.
"I Love this series"
They are both fantastic, I like that I can listen to a book in the car on the way to work, and when I am unable to listen, I can read where I left off.
I really loved the opening story of Christina's Dakota Family. I was so detailed, it really makes the reader understand Christina later on in the story.
I also loved the interaction with Christina and one of Lyon's "ladies", it was HYSTERICAL!!
I loved Susan Duerden's narration. A lot of the reviews were complaining that she whispered too much. A lot of the dialogue required whispering, so I wasn't quite sure what the complaints were about.
Oh ya if I had the time, I would have. I did finish it in under 2 days though.
Julie's Historical's are ALWAYS worth the credit. I can't wait for Guardian Angel, The Gift, and Castles.
"I get it!! They don't realize they love each other"
It started off great.Fantastic plot, characters, witty dialogue with a touch intrigue.
Julien Blackworth is caught in bed with the wrong woman, a spinsterish woman named Izzy. He was drunk, he went to the wrong bedroom, he got caught... Voila ! He has to marry Izzy. But Izzy, doesn't want get married, she wants to move out of her wicked cousin house, collect her inheritance left to her by her late mother, and go to America...
So Izzy convinces Julien to agree to a mock engagement (or so she thinks), and then in 4 months they can break it off. She will be of age to get her money and sail to America.
While Julien "agrees" to the plan, he has a plan of his own... He will marry Izzy, inherit the Dukedom, and set her up in the country all while continuing the way he is (a man-whore) with no thought for his wife.
But as he spends more time with Izzy, he begins to see her in a different light. He wants to spend time with her, he thinks about her when he is with other women, blah,blah, blah.
When his best friend Eric begins to show interest.... What a shock! Julien doesn't like it.
In fact while at a garden party with Izzy, Julien is in the library making his way up another woman's skirt. all the while Eric is escorting Izzy around the park. Julian happens to look out the window, while with this other woman ( that's nice). He is so furious he runs out of the library, runs into the garden and grabs Izzy away from Eric.
(Oh Please!!, What an ass!!)
Eric is a little shocked by his behavior because, he knows of Julien's plan for Izzy.
This is when it started to fizzle for me.
He loves her, but doesn't want to.... she loves him but she doesn't think he loves her.....
He thinks she is in love with his best friend Eric... she thinks he's in love with her best friend Celia...this went on for about 3 hours, with a few other things happening in between.
Ugggh, seriously! These people are supposed be be intelligent???
I really would have loved to see Izzy's maid Bette, take a brick upside both their heads....LOL
Susan Ericksen's narration saved this book for me, as did the authors writing style.
I just think that maybe another editor should have been given the original manuscript, and cut out about 3 chapters.
If your not sure whether to download it, if your local library has it, read it first, it may not bother you.
I would recommend downloading it when it goes on sale.
"Love Those Lairds"
Both are brilliant, if you can't sit down to read it, you can enjoy listening to it.
In Bed with a Highlander by Maya Banks
Great voices, I love her narration, some people don't, but I think she is fantastic.
Yes, I actually read the book in one sitting over a weekend. I really couldn't put it down.
I love this Highland Laird Series. It's quirky. The characters are fun & charming.
The dialogue between the Lairds, and there wives is brilliant.
The secondary characters are also lively and charming.
I love all of Julie Garwood's historicals, they are so worth the credits.
"Regency Weekend at Bernie's"
Yes especially if i need a good laugh.
The Deed by Lynday Sands.
I love Sarah Coomes. I know she always gets mixed reviews, but I have always enjoyed anything she narrates
I was laughing out loud at the scenes where certain characters are trying to move the dead body of an unkind Earl that nobody wants discovered (especially his wife, because if people know he is dead,, she would have to go into mourning, and could not be a sponsor for her sister who is looking for a husband)
Not your typical historical romance, but sometimes it's good not to be typical.
"Dear Diary, Men are Dumb!"
Top 15. It's a great story of long time love, loss, and discovery. Throw in that Julia Quinn character banter.
The way the main characters develop, it seemed like a natural progression without a rushed ending.
The book shop. Miranda is an avid reader, and wants to purchase a book that is sold only in a man's bookshop. Well Miranda doesn't care, and she wants the book, and then the fun begins.
Follow this up with " what happens in london and "10 things I love about you" and re visit these great Julia Quinn characters.
"Don't keep this book a Secret"
Oh Yea, I love this Highland Laird Series. It's quirky. The characters are fun, quirky and charming.
The dialogue between Ian and Judith is fantastic.
The secondary characters, could have their own stories. In fact they do. Broderick and Ramsey re appear in Ransom. I hope will also be out in audiobook.
Judith is an English women travelling to Scotland to attend the birth of her best friends baby.
Francis Catherine and Judith met when they were 4 and stayed friends even though they were supposed to be enemies.
Iain Maitland is an extremely large Highland Laird and brother- in- law of Francis Catherine. He escorts Judith from England and is immediately attracted to him. Every one is afraid of Iain accept for little Judith.
Iain and Judith's wedding. By the time the scene is over Judith isn't quite sure who she married. It is a fantastic and cleverly written laugh- out- loud scene.
Loved both Judith and Iain. Also loved the old men on the counsel.
The Secret is Out!
If this was made into a movie I picture Emily Blunt as Judith and Richard Armitage as Ian.
Well worth the credit, you will listen to it over and over again.
"Best of the Series"
Yes, it was fantastic listen. The story takes place during the up in Scotland at the time of Mary Stewart Reign. The story flowed, the characters were very real, the narration superb.
I loved Angus, the "most handsome man in Scotland" was noble, honest and quite "randy". He stays away from politics, to protect his small can.
His "plain wife" Anabella, who he married to obtain land her father owned. She is a a strong woman who does her duty, but with opinions of her own.
She was great, all the characters were great, her timing was amazing.
I loved this book. IMO it's the best of the series. The other heros of the Border series, were a bit arrogant, and some did stray from there "loves", some I would also consider borderline abusive... This book did not have that feel, which was a great change.
The book can stand alone. you don't have to read the others.
Well worth the credit.
"Murray Men, at it Again!"
This is the 2nd book of the Highland Series featuring the Murray brothers,It's 7 years later as we learn what happened to Nigel since he left Donncoill after losing Maldie to his brother Balfour.
Nigel becomes a mercenary, offering his sword and fighting skills to any French lord who pays the most. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself sprawled in the mud, having spent all night boozing with no recollection of how he got there, he knew it was time for him to go home and face reality. While deep in thoughts, he hears voices and checks to see whom they belong to. He spots two people deep in conversation but knew instantly that the one dressed like a lad is a woman.
Gisele Deveau is a hunted woman. Falsely accused of the gruesome death (no really GRUESOME) of her wealthy husband, she has been running away for a whole year. When Nigel ends up saving her life, she knows that he is her only hope.
Realizing that Gisele's life is in extreme danger, Nigel is overcome with the need to protect her, especially when he learns that she is pretty much on her own. And although she fears men in general Gisele has little choice but to trust the man who has entangled himself in her troubles.
Little do they know that they would be faced with another trouble: that of their growing attraction to each other. Nigel is torn and confused about what he feels for Giselle who looks very much like Maldie, his sister in law - and the reason he left home in the first place. While Gisele is terrified to put her trust in another man after what she has experienced at the hands of her husband.
Gisele is a likable heroine, very similar to Maldie but with a sharper tongue. Both characters are strong and well-matched and as passionate as the first book's characters. I
The homecoming scene was one of my favourites
Great Series.
I am beginning book 3 about little brother Eric
"Great Romance, Great Mystery"
Quick plot overview. We open on Fiona Sinclair's wedding day. She has been betrothed to her most hated rival since birth, Myles Campbell. Their clan's have fought over the current King and the rivalry grew worse since the day of Fiona's mothers death. Fiona believes that Myles father murdered her mother.
1/2 way through the book, Fiona has yet to even show a slight defrosting towards her husband. All the while we know some nefarious plot is being set by Fiona's brothers and without Fiona's knowledge.
There are also great secondary characters which could very well translate into their own stories.
I loved the plot twists and the ah ha moments.
Now the narration by Sarah Coomes was FANTASTIC. I loved her Scots accent for both the men and the women.
I especiially loved Fiona's voice, it reminded me of my mom. especially when she's angry and her husband!! LOL
This was a great listen, and well worth the credit.
"Highland Heartbreakers"
Maldie and Balfour. Balfour is not your typical alpha-male for he is plagued with insecurities about his looks and even feels threatened by his brother, Nigel, who also falls in love with Maldie thus adding to a bit of competition. And Maldie isn't your usual well-bred lady having been born illegitimate and having endured a harsh life with a bitter mother who nearly forced her to a life of prostitution.
When Balfour and the Murray Clan rescue Maldie and Eric from the enemies keep.
It's really well written.
I love her voice, I know a lot of people don't, but I think she brings such passion to story she narrates.
A really touching story, and the reunion of the 2 main characters was so lovely.
In the middle of Nigel's story, can't wait for Eric's.

Viennese Art in 1900: A Study of Gender and Sexuality
During the turn of the century Vienna experienced great change not only in the realms of politics and social life but also in the realm of art. There were many pioneers of these changes but among them three stand out as ones that have displayed interesting views of gender and sexuality in their works of art. These concepts of human sexuality were once deemed taboo. Schiele, Kokoschka and Klimt brought these issues to the forefront of artistic innovation. This exhibit will explore these concepts within Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka's works.
