Symbol of Argentina's navy in decline sinks at moorings - Philly.com
Apparently, a pipe burst on board and flooded the ship. The Navy thinks that lack of maintenance is the cause, but the Defence Minister thinks negligence or even sabotage.BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Argentina's defense chief expressed shame Wednesday after a navy destroyer sank at its moorings, putting on display the declining fortunes of a once-proud fleet.
The ARA Trinidad led Argentina's 1982 sea war against Britain, but has long been mothballed and used for spare parts to sustain what's left of Argentina's navy.
Judging from the fact she's rolled over and the superstructure is also underwater, and the fact that she spent over 2 decades tied up and has been cannibalized for spare parts, she's heading to the scrappers.
What's more shocking is the state of the Argentine Navy being reported; of a total of 70 navy ships, only 16 are in sailing condition and, even then, only barely. The Argentine Navy is in no shape or form for a war, and I can only imagine the condition the ships are in today and the amount of work necessary to bring them back to operational standards.
Not that old. The vessel was commissioned in 1981, which makes her 32 years old.
The Indians operate a carrier that is almost 55 years old.
Numerous countries still operate old 1950s vintage vessels that they have upgraded amd maintained.
As long as you have the money to do the maintenance and upgrades, you can keep such platforms in some form of good condition and even make them a credible threat.
But it is clear that the Argentine Navy is falling into a serious state of disrepair where an internal pipe bursting sank this ship.
That is a very sad end to what at one time was a top rated fighting vessel. And a testament to where the Argentines are right now in terms of their Navy.
This is the same type of destroyer that their own A-4s sank two of in 1982. In fact, at that time, the Santísima Trinidad, was only a year old having been built for the Argentines in 1981.
To this day, one of the class, the last in service, is still operated by Royal Navy as a front line war vessel, D97, HMS Edinburgh. Of course that vessel was built after the War, in 1985, and benefitted from numerous upgrades at the time, and since, to ensure that she was better able to defend against low flying aircraft. In fact, starting in January of this year, the Edinburgh was on duty anchored off Stanley in the Falkland Islands, providing protection to the small community as the result of the Argentine warlike rhetoric once again being bandied about.
All of this just shows that the same vessels, operated by different navies, fair far differently depending on the budgets that allow them to be maintained and upgraded, and the quality of the training for that maintenance and upgrade.

I agree with you! The budget of the armed forces has been slashed to a point where over 70% of the budget goes to personnel (payroll, food, house, retirement, etc..) and the remaining portion of the budget is for maintenance. This is insufficient to even maintain the equipment operation let alone properly maintain all the equipment in inventory. There is also little or no money for training.
The government is made up of resentful anti-military junta types form the 1970s and their loathing and hated for the armed services is evident in the horrible state of the all the military. This is exemplified in their progresive philosophy of peace by disarmament. They are only interested in advancing their own political future and agenda.
Any nation that will not provide for the defense of its citizenry is criminal.
Additionally the Air Force is still operating the Mirage III and the Mirage V. They have the Cyrano II radar which is about as useful as taping a flashlight to the nosecone. They can launch the obsolete Magic I and that's it. No targeting pods, and only dumb bombs. They are (fucking) flying museum pieces. The only reason they're still in service is because without them, the squadron that flies them would be out of a job and they'd have no reason to keep the few pilots they have and all the support personnel around. They are basically target drones for the Chilean F-16's
The Fightinghawks (A-4AR)are some of the best fighter-bombers in South America, with a good electronics suite, however they have no smart weapons and a lot of them are mothballed and stored (15 approximately). There's not enough money to operate all the types.
She's been cannibalized of parts to keep her sister ship operational for over 2 decades. That's generally not a good state to have a warship in, and generally after such a long time, it will cost a lot of money to bring her back to sailing condition. Add the damage from the accident, and she may be assessed and sent to the scrappers or sunk in a SINKEX, like how HMCS Huron was.
The USN has done the same with it's retired carriers and Ticonderoga class cruisers.She's been cannibalized of parts to keep her sister ship operational for over 2 decades.
Sad to see a ship sunk at its berth...

Didn't know Argentina that short of money to maintain a working navy...
What little equipment the military has is meticulously kept (the fly Mirage museum pieces are a perfect example). However there are insufficient funds maintain the equipment which is not needed for everyday patrol and use. Let along any funds to purchase new equipment.

Yeah doesn't take too long really few minutes I'd say :/ and damn right mines heavy on petrol haha especially when your giving it some haha
After having my new water pump i have noticed that the temperature gauge now goes up to under half way and then stays there for a majority of the journey, so just keep an eye on your water pump, it may just be that the design of the pump has changed a bit and is more efficient, just thought i would pass it on, have you decided upon any upgrades yet?

With its appealing specifications and fun feature set wrapped up in attractive
Weighing 170g with battery and Memory Stick Pro Duo card, and measuring 94mm wide by 58mm high by 23mm deep, the 8-megapixel W150 just squeaks under the bar as an ultracompact. Thanks to the not-quite-flush lens and carved-out display, it even looks larger than it is.
The design is very functional, though, and the raised edge of the 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD helps keep your thumb on top of the controls. Above the display is an optical viewfinder so you can shut off the display when battery life is low, but it's uncomfortably small for frequent use.
The controls feel tiny and crowded but manageable, even for big fingers. You access context-sensitive settings through the Menu button, while the Home button calls up all the camera's options. This can be confusing at first, but makes sense after using it for a while.
A small, slightly sunken dial lets you choose from ten shooting modes, including Sony's Smile Shutter, which takes a photo when it detects a smile, three for low-light shooting, Program Auto with control over ISO, white balance (no manual, though), flash intensity, exposure value and colour. There is no full manual mode, but the Program Auto controls offer more flexibility than most manufacturers include in this class.
Also atypical for its price, the W150 incorporates a 5x f3.3-5.2 28-140mm-equivalent lens. That's wider and longer than many. If you like to edit or play back images on your camera, Sony does a better job than most to make it fun and easy. There are a handful of effects (some cooler than others) that you can add to images, as well as basic cropping and red-eye retouching.
There's a dedicated slide show button, too, for impromptu presentations with music and effects. An
Overall, it performs very well. While start-up takes a long time at 1.9 seconds, the W150 delivers solid shutter-lag times in dim and bright conditions of 0.9 and 0.4 seconds, respectively. The shot-to-shot time is a better-than-average 1.5 seconds, but adding the flash more than doubles that time to 3.7 seconds -- the only real disappointment.
But if you like shooting sports or other subjects on the move, the W150 has a very fast (for its class) continuous-shooting speed of 1.9 frames per second. It can sustain that rate for about 9 frames with a standard card, and up to capacity with a 30MB per second card.
The lens zooms smoothly, and Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation works well to minimise blur when the lens is fully extended, too. It exhibits noticeable barrel distortion in its widest position, however, and minor pin-cushioning when fully zoomed out -- not out of the ordinary for point-and-shoot models.
Photo quality, as with most ultracompacts, is the weak link for the W150. Colours are accurate for the most part, but when shooting outdoors in bright conditions there's some blooming and haloing, particularly with reds and whites. Photos are soft overall, lacking fine detail. Visible speckles of colour noise appear at ISO 200, and details become seriously obscured at ISO 800 -- though the camera can shoot at ISO 1,600 and ISO 3,200, we don't suggest using these higher settings. Also, off-subject elements of scenes tended to look smeary and overprocessed.
The camera captures Web-quality 30fps 640x480-pixel resolution video. You can't use the optical zoom while shooting video, but you do get optical image stabilisation.
All things considered, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 is a solid ultracompact camera. The 5x 28mm wide-angle lens doesn't match that of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5's 10X zoom, but it's faster, and though its image quality isn't nearly as good as the
If your photo viewing plans only include online sharing and small prints, the W150's photo quality should suffice. If that's your plan, however, the

I do not understand how you got these answers, cn you please explain?
a. 0.95 of the workers are innocent, and of those, 0.1 will be detected as guilty. This is 0.095 of the workers in total.0.05 of the workers are guilty, and of those, 0.9 will be detected. This is 0.045 of the workers in total. Therefore, 0.095 + 0.045 = 0.14 of the workers are fired.b. From a, we can see that the ratio of innocent to guilty is 0.095:0.045.So, the proportion of guilty people is 0.045/0.14 ≈ 0.32c. 0.05 of the workers were guilty, and 0.1 of those were not fired, so the total non-fired guilty people is 0.005.0.86 of the workers were not fired, so the proportion of those that are guilty is 0.005/0.86 ≈ 0.0058d. This question is based on opinion, so you need to answer this one yourself.
To reduce theft, the Meredeth Company screens all its employees with alie detector test that is known to be correct 90 percent of the time(for both guilty and innocent subjects). George Meredeth decides to fireall employees who fail the test. Suppose 5 percent of the employees areguilty of theft.a. What proportion of the workers are fired?b. Of the workers fired, what proportion are actually guilty?c. Of the workers not fired, what proportion are guilty?d. What do you think of George's policy?

The seamless fusion of PCM synthesis and COSM modeling.
Roland's GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer is a revolutionary new product combining PCM synthesis with digital instrument modeling derived from the respected VG-99 V-Guitar System. The GR-55 represents Roland's latest breakthrough advances in guitar synthesis, offering playability, features, and sound quality that far surpasses the capabilities of previous generations of guitar synthesizers.
Driven by Roland's newest proprietary digital processing technology, the GR-55 delivers lightning-fast tracking performance and previously impossible sound-making capabilities. It features two independent synthesizer sound engines, each loaded with over 900 of Roland's latest sounds, including pianos, organs, strings, vintage and modern synths, percussion, and many more. A third sound engine is driven by Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM®), the guitar modeling technology behind Roland's famous VG-99 V-Guitar System. With COSM, the GR-55 can emulate electric and acoustic guitars, basses, and other instruments, as well as guitar and bass amplifiers.
The GR-55 allows players to combine all three sound engines, plus their guitar's normal input, to create any sound from the familiar to the original. An independent multi-effects processor is available for a huge array of tone-shaping options, plus global reverb, chorus, delay effects and EQ to add final sweetening to any sound.
The GR-55 puts guitarists instantly in touch with a huge library of amazing sounds, with no editing required. The onboard lineup of ready-to-use presets takes the pain out of the process, from pop to rock and beyond, with quick-access category buttons. Creating and editing sounds is a breeze for guitarists as well, thanks to a large LCD display, simple front panel, and the intuitive EZ Edit and Sound Style features. Also, onboard is a phrase looper that lets players capture on-the-fly recordings with unlimited sound-on-sound style overdubs.
The GR-55 also features a USB song player that lets users play WAV files stored on USB flash memory, and song playback can be controlled with the onboard pedals. The GR-55 also functions as an audio/MIDI interface for computers, with a rear-panel USB 2.0 port for a quick and easy connection. Users can easily integrate with their favorite digital audio workstation software, recording GR-55 sounds as audio in the DAW and using the GR-55's super-fast pitch-to-MIDI capabilities to trigger MIDI sounds such as virtual synths and samplers with their guitar.
The GR-55 is equipped with Roland's industry-standard 13-pin GK interface. To access the GR-55's enormous palette of sounds, guitarists must use an instrument equipped with a GK-compatible pickup such as Roland's GK-3 Divided Pickup, which is available with the GR-55 (see dropdown menu to the right and select the "With Pickup" option). Sold separately, the GK-3 Divided Pickup and 15' 13-pin cable are valued at $248, but can be purchased with the GR-55 for just $100 more! The GK-3 can be easily installed on most steel string guitars with no modification to the instrument. In addition, many different GK-ready instruments are commercially available from various top guitar manufacturers.
The pinnacle of Roland's advancements in guitar synthesis over the last 35 years. Order it now!

In these 'Do less with more' days, pro musicians need to find ways to bolster a flagging live music marketplace. Club and restaurant owners are loathe to spend money on live acts if they can't justify the expense with greater food and liquor sales. Using gear that allows a musician to be more things to more listeners is one proven way to help the club owner justify that expense. Roland seems to be aware that the bar keeps being raised for the little guys (like me), just as much as for the A-list touriing/recording stars. And to that end, Roland continues to work hard to develop products that aid the musician in making that next leap. With a broad, useable feature set, and quality construction, the GR-55 is the natural evolution of the guitar synth from a quirky occasional-use tool to an all-in-one synth/effects pallet for the pro player. Please don't buy one if you live in northern New England. I have enough competition as it is.
I would be remiss in not confessing that I'm still learning the interface on this monster. But consider: A floor pedal that loops, stores and plays backing tracks, provides a large number of useable synth patches, offers COSM modeling for all manner of guitar and amp types, includes an expression pedal, and a large 20-character LCD display, that can be easily read while standing above it, even in broad daylight. Did I mention onboard tuner? Did I mention your choice of mono- or stereo-outs? Did I mention separate pickups-only out? Did I mention USB 2.0 capability? And... it will prepare Belgian waffles, give you a back rub, and patch up relationship issues with your spouse? (OK... sorry... couldn't resist...).
Really... Enough onboard features to serve as my 'go-to' box for recording and live work. I'm just grateful that Japan's recent calamities didn't prevent my being able to get one of these units. Utterly amazing...
So far - so good. Rugged, reliable Roland hardware. Steel casing. I would be surprised to have any issues with the build quality. Software/firmware appears bug-free. Tremendous attention to detail. The ONLY area in which I've ever faulted Roland is their user documentation. For whatever reason, the management at Roland seem convinced that because their products are so well conceived and built, that they can ignore the 3rd rate useability of their product manuals. The more feature-packed the product, the more work it takes to pry the critical 'how to' info from their manuals. Complex interfaces are, by definition, rarely intuitive. A good manual makes the task much easier, improving how well and how quickly a user can leverage the features provided by the product. Eventually Roland will have to figure this out. Trust me. I document complex tech products for a living...
The GR-55 is not an inexpensive product. Few Roland products are. However, unlike Bose, who chooses to ride the wave of inflated self-opinion, Roland works hard to earn its continuing reputation as a top-shelf manufacturer of pro gear for the working musician. At the moment, I own several pieces of Roland gear, and have owned many more over the years. I make it a point to try to keep up with their new product releases. The GR-55 is typical of the reason why I do. It improves my chances of capturing regional work as a gigging musician.

Rating the GR-55 at two stars (below average) hardly seems fair considering that there just isn't much out there for comparison, but this seems to be the very reason Roland dropped the ball in so many places - they can afford to because they don't have any competition. The reason I bought this was because I wanted a multi-effects unit with good amp modeling and I figured that, while I was at it, I should get the crazy midi-guitar-synth-monster. I wanted a one-unit solution for my guitar rig to run into FRFR speaker setups (and headphones) so that transitioning from playing live to practicing to recording would be filled with less tonal guesswork - don't get me wrong, the GR-55 can do this if you're willing to play by its rules.
It just isn't as flexible as I thought it would be, mainly due to the way Roland botched utilizing all the pedals - you can't assign the three left-most pedals to do anything - they just switch patches. This wouldn't actually be a problem if it weren't for the giant silent gaps that occur when changing patches (not just banks, patches). There are ways to get around this by working with the "assigns" that you do have, but they don't offer you a full-featured type of "manual-mode" or "stomp-mode" without buying an external controller - and what's more, you're still a bit too constrained by the signal flow options (there are essentially two). Another problem with switching patches is that your delay and reverb tails don't spill-over, they get cut-off (the same problem apparently exists on Boss's new GT-100).
The dual(ing?) synth engines have a million different keyboard tones that just aren't very good. I'm used to the keyboard tones that come with one of the Ableton Live Suites and Roland's just don't compare (which is really sad in my reckoning - doesn't Roland actually make keyboards!?!?!). You can trigger external midi stuff with your GR-55, but you can't use it as a sound module (but who would want to?). The responsiveness of the individual keyboard noises varies and you'll be wanting to tweak them on a per patch basis because the global settings that manage how the midi stuff works are not one-size-fits-all. I wouldn't rely on any of the keyboard noises that require a short attack (piano = no) in a live situation because bunk triggering does happen even if your have amazing technique and a great setup.
Speaking of a great setup - it can be a achieved without being a Roland certified synth-guitar luthier. The GK-3 pickup goes on easy when the instructions are followed and the process of getting it talking to the GR-55 is fairly simple - I think it took me about an hour and half after opening the box before I was playing. The problem is that you have just ruined any good looking guitar by allowing the Borg to assimilate it - that black hex-pickup is just plain ugly (especially when you run a patch cable from your regular guitar jack into it) and it adds weight that you will notice when playing with a strap.
But don't worry, you won't be using your strap much after buying the GR-55, because you'll be sitting down surrounded by a computer, the GR55 and a mess of wires (including that extra long 13-pin cable) so that you can tweak it with the software that a generous man named "gumtown" made - look up the GR-55 Floorbaord Editor, it's fantastic. But wait, didn't Roland make some software for it? Ya, but...well...it sucks - don't bother. Gumtown's software makes the unit much more usable in that it becomes very straight forward to change things and the GUI is arranged in a visually and functionally intuitive manner. There is nothing bad to say about Gumtown and his Floorboard editor - it's free and Boss-Roland should hire him for a number of reasons beyond his software abilities, but I digress. The real issue is that it is likely you'll spend more time tweaking than playing. I'm someone that likes tweaking, but I like playing more which is why after almost a year of dealing with my dysfunctional relationship with the GR-55 I am now selling it having already moved on to greener, simpler pastures.
...and that why you always leave a note.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
Six months ago I started with a used GR-20 and a used Fender Squire to see if I liked the guitar synthesizer. I love it. Eventually, my cheap, used GR-20 stopped working. The problem is in the box. Immediately, I got my money together and ordered the GR-55. It's response is faster and the whole unit is well designed. You can tell they strive to improve and overcome any problem and just make it better.
It's still new, I have spent about 3 hours on trying out the sounds and I'm only through the "lead" and the "rhythm" sounds/instruments. I've still got the "other" section to try. Sheer fun. There is still so much about the GR-55 that I still don't know how to do, yet. I photocopied the 2&1/2 pages of instruments/sounds and I highlight the ones I like as I go through. I'll make a list of just what I like later. And, after a while go back through them all again. I suggest you note what you like for fast reference. There's just so many sounds/instruments.
I am a home musician and do home recording and beginning to pitch background music for use in film and on TV. To give you an idea of the level of playing you need to be at to use the GR-55. Here is my level: I am an extremely skilled amateur musician that hasn't played at all in a decade because I quit everything. (I probably, pulled out the guitar or keyboard and played a total of 10 hours in 10 years.) I started with the GR-20 for 6 months.
For playing some instruments, you should "think" like the instrument. A Grand Piano does not stretch strings/notes. So, think like it's a real piano. Playing may need to be more precise/exacting without being sloppy, and this is on some instruments. But, I adapted fast. It's utterly amazing. I suggest, on some instruments, to get rid of the pick and fingerpick. It works great on the piano. And, some lead orchestra instruments, I move my vibrato/whammy bar just slightly to sound like a real bow or other. And, to my surprise, on some instruments, you can "mute" strings with your palm that sounds like the hit song you are playing. I did not expect "mute" to translate to digital.
Guitar pickup: I have a "Brubaker" guitar, handmade in Maryland. It's neither a Les Paul or Strat setup. But, it works just fine. The hardest thing was to come up with a way that to protect the finish on the guitar. My GK-3 (the pickup) has to sit on top the chrome pickup cover on this guitar. I cut a piece of clear, thick plastic that products come in to fit over the chrome pickup cover. I used the pickup screws. Then used the sticky strip to attach the GK-3. I want to set up other guitars, too and they will be different. Roland has every combination you can imagine to help you attach the GK-3.
I love the GR-55. It's just shear fun. I did get the full warranty because I WANT to keep it working without worry and that the used GR-20 did quit working and I bought a new GK-3, then a new cable and they were not the problem. I went into the box to try to fix it and you might as well forget it, it's circuit boards and not even a good way to test the cable connection internally. I closed it up, got my money together, and ordered a new GR-55. I'm happy. The GR-55 is fun and blows the top off my musical ability.
Also, I almost forgot, using MIDI. I have not done much MIDI in a decade, but I experimented with the GR-20 and it's as astounding as the playing the GR-55 live. You can assign any instrument you want. You can even add or subtract notes, copy and paste. That is also astounding beyond belief. If play a wrong note, just drag it to where it should be. In fact, you can create music on the screen that plays through the GR-55 and record.
There's more than I am even getting to. But, if you're just a guitar player and you just want "Guitar" effects, this does it, but it may be something else that you want without needing the GK-3 pickup. Actually, I found several guitar sounds on the GR-55 that I can play lightning fast, powerful, full energy leads covering the whole neck of the guitar. It seems I can exceed my fastest speeds because of the GR-55. I can play lead faster than my brain can keep up and just hang on. And, with MIDI, I can edit it.
The sounds (patches) are very realistic. I can play piano, trumpet, organ, sax, and on. Listening to my home recording, you can't tell it's not a real instrument. But, again, I think like the instrument is played and how it really sounds and I concentrate enough not to be sloppy. So here's your test, if you can't play a clean sounding "Barr F" chord, it's probably too much for you at this time. If you cannot fingerpick just a little (think with your fingers alternating) versus straight strumming or note picking, you are limited only a little. Think of a beautiful piano solo part, rarely ever would it be strummed chords. A little fingerpicking goes a long way. And, actually, you don't need a guitar pick with the GR-55. I'm playing leads and chords sometimes with and sometimes without a pick, even lightning fast leads with or without a pick. I did set my GK-3 extremely close to my strings. I mean extremely close. And, I don't know if that matters.
I emailed Roland a technical question and they answered it promptly and with expertise.
I hope I have helped.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
This is an incredible tool. As an old guy I will have a significant learning curve to get the most out of it. Some of the preset patches are very interesting, most I will not use, but the options to create my own sounds is impressive. So off we go into the world of creativity.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
Another great Roland product. So many sounds and options to choose from. The only downside was mounting the GK-3 dividend pickup with screws because you will have to drill through your pick guard. The installation manual references double-sided tape, which did not come in the mounting kit.
Other than that, been enjoying the versatility this synth has to offer.

I got a great deal on this GR55 from Musiciansfriend. I have been playing for over 20 years. This one is definitely a keeper.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
To begin, I've been playing guitars for over 30 years. I've been recording since the 80s. In that time, if there's one thing I've learned, it's to do my research before buying something new. In this case, I read all of the reviews, both positive and negative. I watched all of the applicable Youtube videos. I even downloaded the manual before buying. I came to the conclusion that this was a worthy piece for my studio.
Having said that, and after having a couple of days to play around with the GR-55, I can tell you that I've not been disappointed. This unit is exactly what I was looking for.
I installed the GK3 pickup on my Epiphone Les Paul after reviewing the mounting instructions and choosing the proper hardware from the kit. It went smoothly, but if there's one point of advice I can give, it's "read the instructions!" Don't get in a hurry, don't shortcut, and if the measurements don't look right, take it off and do it again! A quality installation of the pickup will determine how the rest of your experience goes.
Once the pickup is installed, there is a small amount of setup work to be done in the unit's software. It's not hard. Again, just read the manual. I took all of the required measurements and entered them as needed, and within 15 minutes I was up and running. No weird results, no issues.
I've got to be honest, a lot of the sounds included with the unit are things you'd probably not use in your music. The thing is, there's so many samples and simulations included, that you're going to be making your own in no time.
I'd read that editing on the unit was a Bear. Having been a Synthesizer user for many years, I found the GR-55 pretty tame by comparison. If you've never owned a Synth, there's going to be a learning curve. Give me an example of where something worth having doesn't require a little work...
I found that there is a good FREE patch editor available online, and downloaded it. I used the USB cable to hook it up to my DAW computer, Boom... problem solved. Sound creation is a breeze.
The COSM sounds are absolutely great. I've been listening through headphones, and with a little adjustment on the EQ, I have to say their awesome. A replacement for your Gibson Hummingbird? Probably not. A substitute for dragging the old Hummingbird out to record tracks and take out on stage? Maybe so.
The unit is solid. It's actually built quite well. The panel is relatively easy to read and understand. It's compact (actually a little smaller than I expected). It does what I bought it for. I'm going to call this one a win.
I hope this helps anyone considering the GR-55.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
I talked to Matt (Musician's Friend Sales Tech) when I ordered this product, I hope he reads this.
This unit is more than I expected. All the high quality synth sounds from Roland that you would expect. 297 user patches will certainly keep me busy. The guitar sound module is great, I was thinking about the Line 6 Variax but this GR-55 is so much more. I surfed the patches when I came to a Tele, it was hard to here any difference between the emulated and my real Tele. You will need two stereo amps to get the most out of the sound, but there are other ways, right now I am using two guitar amps with a 4 channel stereo mixer in the front of the line. Two outputs from Synth out, and guitar out to my Boss stereo effects unit then to the mixer. One other way is to have a two channel amp with a 2-10 or 2-12 or even 2-15 stereo speaker cabinet. The GK-3 pickup tracks perfect, just follow the directions when mounting it. It can be a little noisey. There is nothing really difficult about programming patches, it just takes a little time. The libiran software that you can download is good for storing patches but won't do the editing. The crtl and expression pedal are a plus. So many ways to set them up with each patch. I think I have covered most everything that would encourage you to buy this product. You can go to Roland web site and listen to some of the patches. I would advise buying the kit it contains everything you need.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
This thing is the most amazing piece of guitar equipment you will ever own. I pucking love this thing!
I have an original GR-1 and was pretty impressed with that when it came out in the early nineties but, as you know, the tracking was so-so and pretty latent. But I found a way to get the sounds I wanted, especially when my keyboardist left the band.
I recently decided to get back into making some tracks at home for fun - it's nice form of meditation for me as I recently quit smoking. I've also been listening to a lot of downtempo/chillout/lounge music lately and I thought this would be a nice way to get back into it. I went to my local guitar center and gave it a try. Man! The tracking was/is amazing now and the sounds have really been developed since the old days of the GR-1. I was really floored, I had to to have it.
So, I've had it for a couple of weeks now and I've barely scratched the surface on the different and unique sounds that you can make. Not to mention the guitar modeling that really makes me not need my rack of 80s signal processors anymore.
Not sure what else to say about this except that I'm having a blast with it, there's always something new.
BTW it worked great right out of the box with my Jackson that had a GK-2A installed - no tracking issues whatsoever. I still have the GK-3 that came with it - I'm thinking of putting it on my Martin acoustic to see what that sounds like.

Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
Sounds awesome. I used to play 4 -5 nights a week back in the 80's. Man I wish I had this back then.
Only thing Im not crazy about is that the USB drive only reads wav files and the connection to a pc uses the large type like a printer. If you been battling with your pedals trying to get that perfect sound this is the way to go.
Best Uses
Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
My problem with this is there are SO many parameters that need to be set up in order to get the best triggering. As someone that gets frustrated easily I could not accomplish it without technical support. The sound quality is beyond compare to anything else that's out there so if you are patient and get the assistance you need you will be most pleased.
Best Uses
Comments about Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer:
Where else can you get a Les Paul, a Strat, and a Martin for this price? Just plain fantastic modeling simulation. No so with the synth voices. The tone quality is excellent, but the latency makes most patches useless. I tried using the accustic bass in my band, but I was so far behind the beat, I had to quickly switch off to a modeled bass. There is no latency on the modeled patches.
Attaching the GK3 to my PRS P22, took a little engineering, but it has worked out fine, and I still get to use my PRS pickups.
MIDI thru would be nice, but not available in the current version.

Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland | |
Standard of the Lord Lieutenant
Style | The Right Honourable as a member of the Privy Council |
Residence | Dublin Castle |
Appointer | The British Sovereign |
Term length | At the Sovereign's pleasure |
Formation | 1171 |
Final holder | The Viscount FitzAlan of Derwent |
Abolished | 6 December 1922 |
Succession | Governor of Northern Ireland and Governor-General of the Irish Free State |
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (plural: Lords Lieutenant) was the British monarch's official representative and head of the Irish executive during the Lordship of Ireland (1171–1541), the Kingdom of Ireland (1541–1800) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922). Following traditional British and Irish pronunciation, the term is always pronounced as 'Lord Lef-tenant of Ireland'.
The office, under its various names, was often more generally known[by whom?] as the viceroy, from the French vice roi or deputy king, with his queen consort known as the Vicereine. The government of Ireland in practice was usually in the hands of the Lord Deputy up to the 17th century, and later of the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Although in the Middle Ages some Lords Deputy were Irish noblemen, only men from Great Britain, usually nobles, were appointed to the office of Lord Lieutenant.
The King's representative possessed a number of overlapping roles. He was
- the representative of the King (the "viceroy");
- the head of the executive in Ireland;
- (on occasion) a member of the English or British Cabinet;
- the font of mercy, justice and patronage;
- (on occasion) commander-in-chief in Ireland.
- Grand Master of the Order of St. Patrick
Prior to the Act of Union 1800 which abolished the Irish parliament, the Lord Lieutenant formally delivered the Speech from the Throne outlining his Government's policies. His Government exercised effective control of parliament through the extensive exercise of the powers of patronage, namely the awarding of peerages, baronetcies and state honours. Critics accused successive viceroys of using their patronage power as a corrupt means of controlling parliament. On one day in July 1777, Lord Buckinghamshire as Lord Lieutenant promoted 5 viscounts to earls, 7 barons to viscounts, and created 18 new barons.[1] The power of patronage was used to bribe MPs and peers into supporting the Act of Union 1800, with many of those who changed sides and supported the Union in Parliament awarded peerages and honours for doing so.
Constitutional structure[edit]
The Lord Lieutenant was advised in the governance by the Irish Privy Council, a body of appointed figures and hereditary title holders, which met in the Council Chamber in Dublin Castle and on occasion in other locations. The chief constitutional figures in the viceregal court were:
- Chief Secretary for Ireland
- From 1660, originally the chief administrator, but by the end of the 19th century effectively the prime minister in the administration, with the Lord Lieutenant becoming a form of constitutional monarch.
- Under-Secretary for Ireland
- The head of the civil service in Ireland.
- Lord Justices
- Three office-holders who acted in the Lord Lieutenant's stead during his absence. The Lord Justices were before 1800 the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, and the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh as Primate of All Ireland.[1]
Lords Lieutenant were appointed for no set term but served for "His/Her Majesty's pleasure". In reality that meant for as long as wished by the British Government. Where a ministry fell, the Lord Lieutenant was usually replaced by a supporter of the new ministry.
Who held the office[edit]
- see also List of Lords Lieutenant of Ireland
Until the 16th century, Irish or Anglo-Irish noblemen such as the 8th Earl of Kildare and the 9th Earl of Kildare traditionally held the post of Justiciar or Lord Deputy. Following the plantations, however, noblemen from Great Britain were given the post. The last Irish Catholic to hold the position was Lord Tyrconnell from 1685–91, during the brief Catholic Ascendancy in the reign of James II that was ended by the Williamite war in Ireland. Until 1767 none of the latter lived full-time in Ireland. Instead they resided in Ireland during meetings of the Irish Parliament (a number of months every two years). However the British cabinet decided in 1765 that full-time residency should be required to enable the Lord Lieutenant to keep a full-time eye on public affairs in Ireland.[2]
In addition to the restriction that only English or British noblemen could be appointed to the viceroyalty, a further restriction following the Glorious Revolution excluded Roman Catholics, though it was the overwhelming faith of the majority on the island of Ireland, from holding the office. The office was restricted to members of the Anglican faith. The first Catholic appointed to the post since the reign of the Catholic King James II was in fact the last viceroy, Lord FitzAlan of Derwent, in April 1921.
Importance of the post[edit]
The post ebbed and flowed in importance, being used on occasion as a form of exile for prominent British politicians who had fallen foul of the Court of St. James's or Westminster. On other occasions it was a stepping stone to a future career. Two Lords Lieutenant, Lord Hartington and the Duke of Portland, went from Dublin Castle to 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister of Great Britain, in 1756 and 1783 respectively.
By the mid-to-late 19th century the post had declined from being a powerful political office to that of being a symbolic quasi-monarchical figure who reigned, not ruled, over the Irish administration. Instead it was the Chief Secretary for Ireland who became central, with he, not the Lord Lieutenant, sitting on occasion in the British cabinet.
Official residence[edit]
The official residence of the Lord Lieutenant was the Viceregal Apartments in Dublin Castle, where the Viceregal Court was based. Other summer or alternative residences used by Lord Lieutenant or Lords Deputy included Abbeville in Kinsealy, Chapelizod House, in which the Lord Lieutenant lived while Dublin Castle was being rebuilt following a fire but which he left due to the building being supposedly haunted, Leixlip Castle and St. Wolstan's in Celbridge.[1] The Geraldine Lords Deputy, the 8th Earl of Kildare and the 9th Earl of Kildare, being native Irish, both lived in, among other locations, their castle in Maynooth, County Kildare. Lord Essex owned Durhamstown Castle near Navan in County Meath, a short distance from the residence of the Lord Bishop of Meath at Ardbraccan House.
The decision to require the Lord Lieutenant to live full-time in Ireland necessitated a change in living arrangements. As the location of the Viceregal Court, the Privy Council and of various governmental offices, Dublin Castle became a less than desirable full-time resident for the viceroy, vicereine and their family. In 1781 the British government bought the former ranger's house in Phoenix Park to act as a personal residence for the Lord Lieutenant. The building was rebuilt and named the Viceregal Lodge. It was not however until major renovations in the 1820s that the Lodge came to be used regularly by viceroys.[1] It is now known as Áras an Uachtaráin and is the residence of the President of Ireland.
By the mid-19th century, Lords Lieutenant lived in the Castle only during the Social Season (early January to St. Patrick's Day, 17 March), during which time they held social events; balls, drawing rooms, etc.
Irish attitudes towards the Lord Lieutenant[edit]
The office of Lord Lieutenant, like the British government in Ireland, was generally unpopular with Irish nationalists, though it was supported with varying degrees of enthusiasm by the Irish unionist community. Some Lords Lieutenant did earn a measure of popularity in a personal capacity among nationalists. From the early 19th century, calls were made frequently for the abolition of the office and its replacement by a Secretary of State for Ireland. Though on one occasion, a Bill was even introduced by one government to make this change, the office survived right down until the end of British rule in most of Ireland.
Irish nationalists throughout the 19th century and early 20th century campaigned for a form of Irish self-government. Daniel O'Connell sought repeal of the Act of Union, with the re-establishment of a Kingdom of Ireland, while later nationalists like Charles Stewart Parnell sought a more moderate form of home rule within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Both made clear however, that the office of Lord Lieutenant could not survive in a restructured system of Irish government.
The last of the four Home Rule bills, the Government of Ireland Act 1920, did provide for the continuation of the office. The Act divided Ireland into two devolved entities inside the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. Two institutions were meant to join the two; a Council of Ireland (which was hoped would evolve into a working all-Ireland parliament) and the Lord Lieutenant who would be the nominal chief executive of both regimes, appointing both prime ministers and dissolving both parliaments. In fact only Northern Ireland functioned, with Southern Ireland being quickly replaced by the Irish Free State. The powers meant to have been possessed by the Lord Lieutenant were delegated by amendment to a new Governor of Northern Ireland, while the role of representative of the Crown in the Free State went to a new Governor-General of the Irish Free State. The Lord Lieutenancy as a result was abolished.
By tradition the coat of arms of each Lord Lieutenant was displayed somewhere in the Chapel Royal in Dublin Castle; some were incorporated into stained glass windows, some carved into seating, etc. Dubliners noted that the last available space was taken by the last Lord Lieutenant, Lord FitzAlan of Derwent.

USB-heated peripherals
Amazon sells a variety of USB-powered hand and foot warmers (mittens and slippers). They look unsafe and gimmicky, but I'm not a good judge of these things.... Has anyone tried them?
Also, why don't they sell mug warmers? Lots of people drink warm beverages while at their computer. This is supposed to be "the future" but everything still kind of sucks. |

I'd be worried about a poorly designed circuit board in one of those things that draw too much power and damage the USB port.
I know Mac USB ports are supposed to cut off during an overdraw situation, but I'd probably buy a AC to USB adapter (like for charging a cell phone) and just plug any of these kind of gadgets into that.

Thanks for the tip. Im looking forward on running back again next week. Hopefully this helps in making me get back to shape. By the way, i would like to share a great website for running, http://runninggizmo.clan.su.
1/7/2011 10:40:56 AM Report AbuseI used the intermediate guide to train for a half marathon. It worked well. I did 2:06 and for a 49 y/o woman with a family and a job I think that's pretty righteous. The one thing I might change is the taper period pre-race felt rigorous. I was tired on race day. In hindsight I think a little more rest the 2 weeks prior would have helped. This was a great program, though, easy to follow and I'll use it again, with that small modification.

Holiday leftovers are the best leftovers of all time.
For so many of us, comfort foods harken back to our childhood, and pungent Asian foods are where it's at for me.
Although I have it on good authority that pies do not solve everything, I for one have a very seriously challenging time believing it.
Pinterest has many wonderful qualities, but I really hate all of the "WHO KNEW YOU ONLY NEED YOUR OWN SALIVA TO CLEAN YOUR WHOLE HOUSE?" and "USE A BANANA TO FIX SCRATCHES ON YOUR DVDs" type pins.
Enough has been written about what to drink with lemongrass foam-topped heritage chicken terrine, so here are some food and wine pairing basics using food you might actually eat this week.
Because if I can combine two of my favourite comfort foods, I'm going to, DANG IT!
Out of all the secrets I've told here, intimate details of my drug and alcohol problems, bedwetting, compulsive promiscuity, and various close-ups of my fats, I feel most ashamed of what I'm about to tell you.
When I'm having a terrible, no good, very bad day, the only thing I really want to eat is chocolate pudding.

luanna is an audio-visual application designed for the iPad that allows you to create and control music through the manipulation of moving images. It has been designed to be visually simple and intuitive, whilst retaining a set of rich and comprehensive functions.
Through hand gestures you can touch, tap and manipulate the image, as if you were touching the sound. The image changes dynamically with your hand movements, engaging you with the iPad's environment.
The luanna app offers many possibilities to create unique audio-visual designs.
[appext 526961871]
I picked it up yesterday on a whim. I really think the developer should have described this as a "musical art piece". There is no mention of the artist in the description. That said it is enjoyable to play with and routed some of the sounds into Logic today, but now hearing that it is another artists sounds, well it really makes it of no use. I am hopeful that the developer allows removing the sounds and replacing them with my own samples. I agree with Pat that this would be a fantastic addition, or compliment to TC-11 as well as other apps.
Well,seems really cool
But this seems more designed for a specific artists needs.would be useful if it was supporting Audio Copy/Paste for custom sound samples……and was a lot cheaper
I wish tc11 would add something like this to work with audio samples directly
First of all thank you very much for your interesting in luanna.
To your question regarding loading your own sound samples to the application,
at the moment luanna can only use our sonic artist Manabu Shimada's sound (www.manabushimada.com).
This is because we initially designed this application as a music artwork of Manabu Shimada.
The price, as you mentioned, was also determined by that point of view, and to be set more or less equivalent to a price for a music that could be bought in our location.
However, as we have already hearing numerous requests of the functional update, we are considering of extending or redesigning the application to a user interface of a kind in later date.
For more details regarding luanna such as the manual and information about us,
will appreciate it if you could visit our web site as below.
Again thank you very much for your interest in luanna.

Why is this so expensive? For that much, I would expect to not have to ask whether one can load their own samples or not… And would expect a manual or some more information.
Can one load one's own samples? Thanks.

Category: Erotica/Erotic Romance/Romance Description: Jenna Taylor is a legal secretary in love with her deliveryman. Apprehensive about how to go about getting him to notice her, she orders packages daily in an attempt to force his hand. But, three months into the delivery scheme she discovers Malcolm has not caught on and only sees her as a frequent customer with a home business. Dejected, she follows the advice of her friend, a Dominatrix, who convinces her to attend a Valentine's Day speed dating event and embarks on an clandestine adventure she'll never forget. When she meets L'entraîneur (The Trainer), he shows her a whole new side of herself. eBook Publisher: Phaze/Fetish, 2007 eBookwise Release Date: February 2007

"Place order? Yes." Jenna hit the enter button on her keyboard and waited for the confirmation of her order.
Like Pavlov's dog, Jenna's heart accelerated at the sound of the doorbell. Grabbing her mouse, she maneuvered the cursor down the screen until her desktop toolbar popped up, allowing her to see the time in the corner. The time reflected her exact speculation.
"Always on time." She rose from her desk and walked across her living room toward the front door. Stopping next to the Montello console table, she eyed the plain woman reflecting back at her. She quickly fluffed and fingered the wild natural curls in her hair then snatched off her glasses. Immediately, her eyes began to squint so she put them back on. Blind as an earthworm without them, she didn't want to make a mistake and reach for the wrong package.
Giving up, she opened the door, pasting on what she hoped was a sassy smile on her face, and not one showing the silly giddy emotions fluttering in her stomach.
A brown and tan delivery uniform never looked so good. Malcolm's six-foot frame encased in the khaki material made her mouth water. He was a bittersweet chocolate like an authentic candy bar and probably just as delicious. With Valentine's Day coming up she would love to have a sample of him. Now, how can I get that ordered from Amazon? Swallowing, so she wouldn't drool, she greeted him, "Hi, Mr. Douglas."
The ever-familiar lopsided grin played with a single corner of his mouth. "Ms. Taylor, everyday for the last three months I've been telling you to call me Malcolm."
She laughed, attempting to make it sound lighthearted and whimsical. Not in her nature to be carefree and flirtatious, but Malcolm posed the best opportunity for her to practice it daily. "As your customer, I'm ordering you to call me Jenna."
