The first time I ever participated in free writing, it seemed like a daunting task. I don't remember what the topic was, but I had a hard time coming up with much to write down.
I also felt silly just writing down random thoughts that were going through my head that had nothing to do with the topic at hand. I think I would have felt a little bit foolish if I would have had to share the gibberish with someone.
There were people around me who seemed to be able to do this with ease and never stopped writing the whole time.
I will say this is something that seems to get easier the more often you do it. Although I never found it as easy as others in my class, it did become a little bit easier for me over time.
I have never tried this using a word processor. We always used a pen and paper. I think those who don't type very fast, but have a very creative mind, might be at a disadvantage if they used a computer.

We're planning to make doors for Ikea PAX closets out of 3/4" mdf-core walnut veneer plywood (from Crosscut) for the master suite. The individual boards are sequenced for veneer match, and we want the cleanest, most "wall of walnut" look possible.
Do people think we would be best off with 1/8" solid walnut edging (and do I/does my DH make those from solid lumber myself or are they purchaseable in some way?) or is that overkill for this application, would disrupt the grain line, and so we'd be better off with standard edge-banding? And for a 90" tall door, how many hinges would folks use (Blum) to support the door in a 3/4" particleboard frame? Thanks for any help/advice/caveats etc. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The mdf-core is only part of the core, btw: it's 3 plies of actual wood with MDF core on each outer side. So it's pretty strong dimensionally, I think... |
I'd be inclined to use veneer tape (standard edge-banding). It's less disruptive to the surface appearance of the doors, easier to get and much easier to work with. Lee Valley suggests four hinges for a door up to 20" by 80", so I'd guess you'd need at least 5 depending on the width. It's not just the strength of the hinges you have to worry about; the weak link may be the holding power of the screws in the particle board. |
Thanks for your reply, jon. You're right about the 5 hinges--I learned that at Woodcraft looking at Blum hinges. We're going back and forth in our minds--as I read about what would be involved in putting the 1/8" edging, which would evidently give a higher-end look to it and be tougher, I just don't think we have the ability technically or energy-wise right now (end of a 3 year remodel process.....). But when I think of edge-banding, I could do that with one hand tied behind my back at this point, although it would end up with not as refined a look. Guess we have to decide whether we'd rather use walnut with edge banding and have the gorgeous doors with less than fabulous banding, or have Ikea doors we don't like but would be *done* just by hanging. And re the screws in the particle board--"confirmat" screws are especially effective in particleboard, as are Inserta hinges...which we'd buy ourselves if we do the walnut, or which come with the Ikea doors automatically. Ugh. Decisions. I really appreciate your thought that edgebanding would be sufficient. Gives us more to think about. |
I think anything more than .5mm edgebanding takes away from the grain of the wood. The edges should not be prominent because that is not what you want people to focus on. If it is, then you might consider a contrasting material and/or color. |
Stick with thin edge banding. While it is more prone to damage than thicker wood, it wil not show as much. When I make large uniform panels I add matching edging before veneering the panel. This minimizes the 'framing' effect of the edge banding since it is flush with the surface from the front of the panel. Solid wood and veneer do not take finish exactly the same in many cases (it takes extra time to get the solid edging to match). Since you have purchased panels that are already veneered this is not an option for you, and the thicker the edging the more attention it will create. It would also be very difficult to finish the narrow strip of edging to match the face of the door. Yo |

All India Radio Chooses LBA Group Antenna Tuning Units for Five-year Digital Upgrade
Greenville, NC - Apr 24, 2012 - LBA Group has shipped to the Republic of India six custom-engineered antenna tuning units (DRM digital-ready, 20kW capable, medium-wave) as part of a 5-year project to digitally upgrade All India Radio (AIR) facilities across the subcontinent.
AIR is the official broadcast department of the Indian government. Working through project partner Arraycom, the LBA Group was chosen supplier for the AIR transmission system overhaul. The upgrade will include converting all AIR broadcast facilities, AM/FM radio, shortwave, and television systems to handle digital transmission of program material.
A common practice in India is for multiple medium-wave services to share one site, imposing difficult requirements on antenna tuning systems. The LBA antenna tuning units are fitted with high performance, specialized filters to permit simultaneous operation with nearby transmission towers.

Is a Formal Liberal-Conservative Electoral Pact Possible?
Nick Boles, the Cameroon insider and wonk turned newly elected MP, has put the cat among the pigeons ahead of the party conferences by advocating in his new book "Which Way is Up" a formal electoral pact between the Tories and the LibDems. The tribalists among the pinstripes and the sandalistas will choke on their respective Full English and muesli at the thought.
Others, like Guido, are positively salivating at the thought of driving the Labour Party into third place. Guido will be at the LibDem conference on Sunday speaking at the Liberal Vision fringe meeting, telling the Orange Bookers why it is their destiny to destroy the Labour Party as a party of government.
Now if Guido could only convince the Tories that independence for Scotland and Wales would guarantee a prosperous, low tax, free England for ever more…

Featured User: Ren Swan
This week's featured user is a very talented engineer who has worked with and remixed some pretty talented artists & producers; most notably Gary Barlow, Susan Boyle, Nelly Furtado, Leona Lewis, Seal & Coolio (Yeah…he remixed Coolio!) Gobbler world! Meet Ren Swan!
How have you integrated Gobbler into your workflow?
I have used Gobbler to deliver Protools mix sessions when I have finished working on them. Lately, I am also having Gobbler constantly on and backing up whatever I am working on at the time, especially if the project was sent by a client who is not attending the mix; that way, if they want to make changes or re-look at a part or a comp or whatever, all the data are already up and it is an easy and quick thing to update stuff and get on with the job! I'm relatively new to Gobbler still but can see it becoming an important part of everyday working … I want it to become my audio interface with the outside world; receiving data and delivering mixes as well as backing up and collaborating during the process.
Tell us a little about your background in the music business/audio….
I always knew I wanted to be a recording engineer. Luckily, soon after I left school (and through a friend of a friend who knew I had a little 4-track studio in the basement of my parents house and that I was into recording), I was able to get an interview at the nearest good studio to where I grew up. I started as a tea-boy at Ridge Farm Studios (a well known and fantastic residential in Sussex, sadly now closed) and worked my way up to assistant then house engineer. I had 3 amazing years there working with some incredible artists – it was really busy and I was the only assistant so I ended up living there … One summer, Trevor Horn arrived with a load of amazingly talented engineers and programmers and 3 lorries full of kit – Synclaviers, Fairlights, Sony DASH machines and loads more I'd never even seen; I was used to one 24 track Studer and some mics! I decided then that I wanted to work in London and the following summer I managed to get a job at Sarm, Trevor's studio complex in Notting Hill.
I eventually became a house engineer at Sarm – there were 3 of us and we were all working flat out all the time – I think I was lucky to be at Sarm when I was (early nineties up until about 1998). I did a lot of Dance stuff, as well as the pop Sarm was known for, and made lots of friends there that I still see and work with regularly.
I went freelance about 12 years ago and here I am!
What is your favourite record at the moment?
Tricky … so many!
I've been listening to The National's new album a lot and The Destroyer by Low … I like the new Bon Iver LP, I'm always listening to The Band – their records sounded too good … I'm trying to get everything that Zoot Simms ever played on … The Cassandra Wilson album that T-Bone Burnett produced … anything involving Dave Fridmann … anything mixed by some of my favorite mixers … Simon and Garfunkel … I recently read a great book about the studio side of Sinatra's career so I've been listening to all that stuff again recently but armed with more technical insight …
If you were on a desert island and could take just a few pieces of gear, what would they be?
With nothing to record? Anything with a Spotify account … If there were some musicians marooned too, then a pair of AEA 440s (the best ribbon mic I've ever heard), some nice Preamps and an Ampex 1/4″ to record to … Maybe a 140 plate would be handy … and a TG12345!
Preferred DAW?
I suppose Protools because that's the one I use, but they all seem to do the job … It's what comes out the speakers that matters!
Give us a situation where Gobbler has saved the day and/or a time when you could have really used a software like Gobbler?
The last ten years! I wouldn't have fancied using Gobbler with a dial-up connection though …
What is your Website/Twitter/Anything you want to plug?
I'm mixing the new Susan Boyle album at the moment, which everyone simply must listen to! My website isn't finished yet; It's on the list of things to do …

Elite prospects shine on scouting trips
December, 3, 2012
Kevin Weidl | ESPN Insider
The 2012 season was the fourth in a row during which I spent most weeks on the road getting live looks at some of the top NFL prospects in the country.
I saw 17 games featuring 22 schools, and because I'm based in Charlotte, the schedule was heavy on ACC and SEC schools within driving distance. No problem, though, because anyone who follows the draft knows just how many quality prospects come out of those two conferences.
Seeing how players react to live game action in real time is helpful, and it's just as helpful to get on the field during warm-ups and apply the eyeball test to players.
Seeing how prospects look on the hoof in terms of body type, judging their demeanor and observing how they interact with teammates are all important parts of their evaluations.
So as the regular season wraps up, here's a look at the games I attended and what stood out during my college road trips this fall. This includes the best prospects I saw in person, those who fell short of expectations, the best individual performances and a handful of 2014 prospects to keep an eye on.

Note: On May 20, the Supreme Court found Colorado's anti-gay Amendment Two unconstitutional in a 6-3 decision. Click here to read statements on the decision from various gay and pro-gay groups.
NEW YORK -- The victory in the Supreme Court abolishing Colorado's unconstitutional Amendment 2 "reverberates through Lambda's docket and will affect all cases involving discrimination against lesbians and gay men," said Beatrice Dohrn, Legal Director of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund in analyzing the potential impact of Romer v. Evans.
Lambda, the country's oldest and largest gay legal rights organization, released a list of specific issues that exemplify potential applications of the Supreme Court's May 20 decision.
"Romer will be a powerful weapon in Lambda's legal arsenal on behalf of lesbians, gay men, and people with HIV and AIDS," Dohrn said Friday. "Directly and indirectly, this week's 6-3 ruling works a profound change in the battle for civil rights by stating that the Constitution forbids singling out lesbians and gay men for discrimination."
Dohrn stressed, "When it comes to securing lesbian and gay civil rights, Romer is a very good start. Now we must go on to secure the legal protections that Amendment 2 sought to preempt."
Bowers v. Hardwick Blunted
Sodomy laws like Georgia's are still on the books, Dohrn said in addressing the 1986 Bowers v. Hardwick ruling that upheld the arrest of an Atlanta man in his bedroom where he was having sex with another man. "Some of the worst impact of Hardwick will be blunted by the Court's clear statement that anti-gay sentiment is not a permissible rationale for law. The Court greatly limited Hardwick's holding that moral disapproval of homosexuality' was sufficient to justify government action," said Dohrn, adding that for a decade, lower courts have cited that decision to justify a plethora of unrelated anti-gay rulings.
Lambda Executive Director Kevin Cathcart commented on Justice Antonin Scalia's dissent in the case. "Scalia's harsh and ugly words may have helped push the majority to six of the nine justices," Cathcart said. "His tone, from his use of the German term "Kulturkampf" to the allegation that gay people are disproportionately influential, echos what is plain in the content of the dissent: his opinion is on the extreme political right and outside of the mainstream of this country." Cathcart added, "We are celebrating signs that, on gay equality, the center is with us."
How Supreme Court Ruling in Romer v. Evans Should Affect Gay Rights Litigation:
Anti-Gay Ballot Initiatives
Other anti-gay ballot initiative cases certainly will feel the effect of Romer. Most immediately, Equality Foundation v. Cincinnati, challenging an amendment banning any discrimination protection laws in Cincinnati for lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals, is awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on a certiorari petition. "Cincinnati's amendment is a clone of Colorado's, and we expect the Court to send it, dead on arrival, to the Sixth Circuit," said Patricia Logue, managing attorney for Lambda's Midwest Regional Office and co-counsel on the case along with Lambda's Suzanne Goldberg, the ACLU of Ohio, and attorneys Alphonse A. Gerhardstein and Richard Cordray.
Morris v. Hill, challenges a ban by Florida's Alachua County that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. Despite the text's differences from Colorado's Amendment 2, Florida courts are likely to recognize this measure as unconstitutional under Romer for intending to limit the political rights of gay people.
AIDS-Related Discrimination
Many federal, state and local government agencies continue to treat HIV disease differently than other disabilities in employment and program eligibility criteria. "Much discrimination against people with HIV has homophobia at its root, and the reasons offered to justify limiting or excluding the participation of people with HIV in government jobs and programs, such as the military and the Job Corps, have been every bit as irrational and unsupported as proffered bases to exclude gay men and lesbians, "said Catherine Hanssens, director of Lambda's AIDS Project. "Unsupportable assumptions about the health and safety risks that people with HIV pose in the workplace and in places of public accommodation could be prohibited under the Romer majority's equal protection-rational basis analysis," Hanssens added.
Likewise, Romer further strengthens arguments against revived efforts in the House of Representatives to include a provision in the next Defense Authorization Bill which would require the discharge of people with HIV as well as of gay men and lesbians.
Military Discrimination
Able v. U.S., challenges the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on gay service members, arguing the ban is based solely on the government's desire to accommodate the dislike and discomfort of those who do not want to serve with lesbians and gay men. Romer firmly rejects laws in which "the disadvantage imposed is born of animosity toward the class of persons affected." Said Dohrn, co-counsel with the ACLU in the case pending in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, "Our challenge now is to persuade the courts examining the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that it is based entirely on prejudice and personal discomfort toward gay people."
Marriage Rights
Romer states that "Laws singling out a certain class of citizens for disfavored legal status or general hardships" cannot survive even minimal equal protection scrutiny. Right now, legislation is pending before Congress that would create two classes of lawful marriage, with the federal government withholding benefits from marriages of gay people that any state lawfully recognizes. "This anti-gay effort to create two classes of lawful marriage is precisely a classification of persons undertaken for its own sake,'" said Evan Wolfson, Lambda senior staff attorney and director of Lambda' Marriage Project. "We hope Romer will help in our efforts to demonstrate this."
Youth and Schools
Romer also will support Lambda's ongoing work on youth issues. For example, in Nabozny v. Podlesny, the first case in the country to challenge anti-gay violence in schools, the principal of the school responded to Jamie Nabozny's four-year ordeal by saying Nabozny "should expect such abuse if he's gay." David Buckel, Lambda staff attorney and co-counsel with Logue on the case, said, "With that response, the principal was expressing the very societal prejudice that Romer says cannot be the basis for treating gay people differently." The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals is expected in coming months to rule on Lambda's arguments in the case.
The Utah Legislature's attempt to ban student clubs, after students formed a group to respond to anti-gay beatings, is likely to be challenged by Lambda and other legal organizations. Said Jon Davidson, Lambda's supervising attorney for its Western Regional Office, "Romer hits home in Utah, where the legislature made a law based on dislike of a gay-identified group and the targeted group was a bunch of well-meaning high school kids trying to stop beatings that reflect that kind of dislike."
"Sodomy" Law Challenges
Campbell v. Sundquist, a challenge to Tennessee's "Homosexual Practices Act," currently before the Tennessee Supreme Court, singles out and imposes criminal penalties on gay people for engaging in particular sexual acts. "Romer should help undermine Tennessee's defense of this law and aid challenges to other "sodomy" prohibitions, particularly in the six states that prohibit only same-sex sexual conduct," said Lambda Staff Attorney Suzanne Goldberg.
Custody and adoption
Subjective decisions of judges cloaked as objective assessments of what is in a child's best interest have made bias and prejudice against lesbians and gay men especially difficult to root out in this area. In Schroeder v. Schroeder, for example, a judge ignored evidence that two children were doing well in the care of their mother and her female partner and removed the children because of he possibility of "social condemnation" and "social comment." "Romer reinforces arguments that government cannot empower private prejudice by letting it decide basic civil rights," said Logue, who represents the mother in the case, which is being appealed to the Appellate Court of Illinois for the Third District.

Cynthia Anne Baker Sauer, 72, of Eldorado was born on July 12, 1940, in Temple, TX to Clyde and Estelle Baker.
She passed from this life peacefully in her home on Monday, March 18, 2013.
Funeral service was held Friday, March 22, 2013 at the Mertzon Highway Church of Christ in Eldorado with Darrell Brawley officiating.
Cynthia grew up in Ft. Worth, TX and graduated from Arlington Heights High School in 1959. She attended Tx Wesleyan College where she met and married Duwain Sauer.Cynthia was baptized soon after she married and was very active for the Lord her entire life. She and Duwain were house parents at Christ's Haven
Children's Home in Keller, TX for a number of years. While Duwain worked full time at a bank she did an amazing job of managing a home of 15-17 kids. She was always up for whatever surprise Duwain had for her such as planting and tending a 5 acre garden and raising 200 chickens at a time to eat (with 18 kids!!)
In 1975 they moved back to Eldorado to farm full time. They lived on Duwain's home place 20 miles from town. It was common for Duwain to bring extra people home for a meal. She would use whatever ingredients she had on hand to cook up a delicious meal. She was always hospitable.
Cynthia was a city girl who married a country boy. Even though she had been raised in the city, she learned how to garden, preserve foods, milk the cow, and make delicious food with all these products. If Duwain could grow it or hunt it, she could cook it up.
Her greatest love was her family. She raised her children in the Lord. She was one of the first to show up and bring food to any event or need. Teaching Sunday school brought her much joy.
Cynthia attended any game or event her children and then grandchildren had.
As her health declined, she still loved to go. Anywhere her grandkids were that we could get a wheelchair, she was there.
She was also an avid Spurs and Texas Rangers fan. Last year she was able to go to a Ranger's game.
In April 2012 Cynthia moved into the Eldorado Nursing Home. She was no longer able to attend worship services at the church building, so the members of the Church of Christ would go to the nursing home every Sunday night and sing to the residents and offer communion. This was the highlight of her week.
Cynthia always made the most of what she had and served where she could. She did this because she put God first and loved others as she loved herself.
She will be deeply missed.
Praise the Lord that she persevered to the end and has a home with God.
Cynthia was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Estelle Baker; and her sister Carolyn Humphries.
Cynthia is survived by her husband of 51 years, Duwain Sauer, of Eldorado; her son Robert Newman and his wife Belinda, of Keller; daughter, Lynna Mikeska and her husband Lanis, of Eldorado; daughter Melissa Murr and husband Marcus, of Sonora; and Carrie Pridemore and husband Mike of Eldorado. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank Dr. Denver Marsh, Dr. DeMory, the staff at Shannon Hospital, Hospice of San Angelo, and the staff at Schleicher Co. Medical Center and Nursing Home.

Urban Outfitters has come out with an excellent way for pizza lovers to carry a slice to work with a collapsible pizza box.
Cold pizza can be crushed so easily in the backpack, which is why it needs to be protected with the collapsible pizza box. Don't take its name to mean fragile though. By collapsible, it only means that the box can shrink or expand to hold two slices instead of one. The Pizza-To-Go box even has a divider in case people want to bring two different kinds and don't want to toppings to touch. Accompanied by a beloved spork—for microwaved cheesy messes—the triangular box is great for packing lunches for work or school and the bright orange box will ensure that everyone knows its yours and yours alone.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Turner Ward becomes D-backs assistant hitting coach
According to the Mobile Bay Bears of the Southern League, manager Turner Ward is leaving that post to become the assistant hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In his new role, Ward will serve under batting coach Don Baylor.
Mobile is the Double-A affiliate of the D-backs.
Ward served as the Bay Bears manager for two seasons, leading the team to back-to-back Southern League championships. They were also honored as Baseball America's Minor League Team of the Year in 2011.
In two seasons as Mobile's skipper, Ward posted an overall record of 153-124.
Ward played in the Major Leagues from 1990 to 2001 for six different teams, including a 25-game stint with the Diamondbacks in 1999 and 2000. In his career, Ward hit .251 (389-for-1,548) with 39 home runs and 219 runs batted in.
Another former Diamondback, Andy Green, is expected to take over Ward's managerial post.

Video: Fairmont RV Park, Anaconda, Montana (Near Butte)
July 18, 2010 by Good Sam Team · Leave a Comment
Fairmont RV Park, located between two historic cities – Anaconda and Butte, MT, is an easy off/on I-90 (Exit 211). Much of the lure of this part of the country is the Spirit of the American West. The Anaconda/Philipsburg area, the core of the Pintler Scenic Route, is blessed with year 'round recreation opportunities, scenic splendor, and plenty of history. Philipsburg, only 30 miles from Fairmont RV Park, was founded in 1886 as a trading center. It has a beautifully restored street front, and the Sweet Palace is "a must" — it's an unbelievably huge Victorian Confectionary. Fishing in Montana's big rivers is an angler's dream; Rockhouds search for sapphires, garnets, crystals, quartz & amethyst. Mining history means untold numbers of Ghost towns.
Anaconda, known for smelting copper for more than a century, is today a small town of friendly folks. Historical homes built in the 1880′s still stand tall with architectural beauty that is sure to bring the cameras out of the cases. The huge brick smokestack, constructed in 1918, stands on a small hill & looms a total of 1,000 ft. above Anaconda. Today the site of that smelter is the location of the nationally known18-hole Old Works Golf Course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Old # l Trolley stops at the Butte Visitor's Center for daily tours of historical Butte.
Fairmont RV Park is a great central location to hang your hat while sightseeing the area. There's so much to see and do that more than one night is needed before moving on. The RV Park & Campground has all the amenities to keep everyone happy. There are cabins, tenting & RV sites — all located on 15 acres. Want to really go western? Reserve one of their popular Indian Teepees. There's a 1500 Sq. Ft. Recreation Hall with lots of games, pool table, internet, and the cushy couch awaits you. Group facilities include outdoor canopies and seating. A Country Store and fuel is also available for your convenience. Just next door is Fairmont Hot Springs Resort for water fun and basking in the sun of "Big Sky Country" – Montana. What are you waiting for?

The word "vest" is enough to induce traumatic stress flashbacks for me. Years of Catholic school and the sweater vests that come with it have left me a bit scarred as far as that particular item of clothing is concerned. Until a couple years ago, I lived in total ignorance of the value of a good vest, preferring instead to stave off painful memories of Sister Mary Kay yelling that my skirt was too short by ignoring uniform-like clothing entirely. But then I saw it. It was shearling and it was black and it was everything I'd ever wanted without knowing it. It was a vest. And I knew my days of vest avoidance were over. Join me on the dark side.

great backpack
this is an awesome pack, i havent used it on any backcountry adventures but using it as day pack around the resort is pretty sweet. Hydration compatible is really nice, the backpack is pretty low profile, not a hassle on the lift, straps/belt are comfortable but pretty sweaty (but remain stink free). goggle pocket is big enough for my von zipper feenoms. stuff is as full as you can and then the compression straps will take it down about a third size, i LOVE that. not a fan of the lack of pockets but this is a sweet pack regardless. plus goin on 3 years and its indestructable.

I don't have that issue yet, but in contrast to jellytoast's post, someone else posted recently that she switched from warmer to cooler UC lighting and was thrilled with the change. I think it's personal preference. Whether cool goes with warm and vice-versa, I can't say. |

In this section: Radon Demultiple, Surface Related Multiple Elimination (SRME), Tau-p Deconvolution, FK Multiple Attenuation
See also: MULLOCK
Spectrum is able to offer its clients a wide range of demultiple solutions to help resolve the various random and coherent noise issues presented. Below are some of the multiple attenuation techniques available:
Parabolic Radon Multiple Attenuation
After normal moveout (NMO) correction, a shot or CMP gather can be thought of as being composed of many different parabolic or hyperbolic events. Each curve can be described by the zero-offset time and the residual moveout time at a certain offset (usually the far offset). Radon decomposes an ensemble into its many parabolic or hyperbolic components in the Radon transformed domain, mutes out unwanted parts of the transformed domain according to the user specification and inverts the muted transform back into the time-offset domain.
Multiple removal can be performed in one of two ways:-
(a) Model the multiples – i.e. mute the primaries in the transformed domain, invert transform back and subtract the multiples from the input data. This will only suppress the multiples, the random noise still remains. Therefore, the output ensemble appears more like the original.
(b) Model the primaries – i.e. mute the multiples (noise) in the transformed domain. This will lead to the suppression of both multiples and random noise.
"High Resolution Radon" modules are available which work in the Fourier domain. These programs use weights to focus the decomposition onto its most significant spectral components. The weights are obtained by using the radon spectrum from the previous frequency. A scalar is used to introduce a viscosity, which prevents undesired variations caused by random noise.
Our processing software performs high resolution multiple removal in a single pass, both modelling and subtracting the multiples. Two distinct approaches are available for solving the least squares inversion problem. Firstly the Fourier domain method described above and secondly by using the Non-uniform Discrete Fourier Transform approach (NDFT). In the NDFT approach the number of ray parameters is frequency dependent and determined internally by the module.
Surface Related Multiple Elimination (SRME)
Spectrum is a member of the Delft consortium, our Surface Related Multiple Elimination (SRME) program is based on the published work of Verschuur & Berkhout (1997).
» Interactively view this example in the Seismic Imaging Comparison Tool
In the SRME process the surface related multiples are estimated by convolving each trace on each input shot with the shot at the trace location and stacking in a common receiver sense. This yields the 'shot record' of the next Taylor term, which can be used in subsequent acoustic model building or adaptive subtraction. This multiple model is removed from the original data using Optimum Least-Squares (OLS) filtering over whole ensembles. A Wiener-Levinson filter adjusts the amplitude and phase of the estimated multiples to match the original data. The filter which best subtracts all multiples is derived for each ensemble in the SHOT or RECVR domain. The matched multiple estimate is then subtracted from the original data.

» Interactively view these examples in the Seismic Imaging Comparison Tool
Tau-p Deconvolution
Multiples are only truly periodic in the X-T domain at zero offset, so pre-stack deconvolution is of limited use as a multiple attenuator. By transforming data into the linear Tau-p domain multiples can be made periodic for all values of P and effectively attenuated with predictive deconvolution. This technique is particularly effective in shallow water areas where muting in the tau-p domain can assist with linear noise attenuation.
» Interactively view this example in the Seismic Imaging Comparison Tool
FK Multiple Attenuation
During FK multiple attenuation, a multiple NMO trend is picked or a percentage of the primary NMO (e.g. 95%) is taken and applied to CDP gathers. The data is then transformed to the FK domain and a filter, designed to remove an area of the +K quadrant of FK space, is applied prior to inverse transform back to XT space and removal of multiple NMO.

Joshua Wagner / Regent Cocktail Club
Posted on 14. Mar, 2013 in Managers, Miami Beach, Mixologists, Owners
Newest to sprout in South Beach is the Regent Cocktail Club, a classic cocktail bar located at the back of the revamped Gale Hotel.
Interested to hear about this new concept, Chat Chow TV schmoozed with Joshua Wagner, Miami's after-hours aficionado and managing partner of Regent Cocktail Club, over Manhattans and Mint Juleps.
"Everyone is jazzed up about new trends, food and beverage, everything along those lines," Wagner observes. "But I think we also need to make the standards of what our basics are, what our pars are, what our standards are as a city. So classics, back to the core, create the standard of what it should be and just really get back to the basics."
And the locals are loving it. Regent draws a mixed crowd, attracted to the venue for its unique recipe of curated cocktails and vintage vibe.
"It's all about approachability," Wagner says of the atmosphere. "We don't want this to be pretentious. You walk in here, it's Fats Waller, it's Ella Fitzgerald, it's John Coltrane. It's a conversation and a cocktail. […] We have got 25-year-old young people inhere to 60-year-old couples that are coming to enjoy great music, great conversation and fundamentally great cocktails."
Club-goers can expect the libation basics to be perfect, with nightly shake-ups in its live music lineup (think Havana Nights or live jazz singers). Daily drink menus shift as well, with six new specialty cocktails to try each evening. Don't like what's on-menu? Wagner highly suggests engaging with your barkeep about your spirit preferences—it's part of the experience. Serious sippers can keep tabs on their favorite tried tipples with Regent's passport, a VIP amenity for the bibulous barfly that also grants access to exclusive member-only events.
Check out the video above to see why Regent exudes a cool-kid Al Capone quality. Then stop in and get your passport stamped.
Thanks to WorldRedEye for supplying us with great photos of these gentlemen.

If you could give one piece of advice to someone showing in showmanship, what would it be? How much do you penalize a horse picking up its pivot foot? What sets your winner apart from the rest? GoHorseShow.com asked a group of well respected judges these questions and more regarding one of the most subjective classes, Showmanship.
Question #1--What is your biggest pet peeve with regards to this class?
Brent Maxwell--My biggest pet peeve is the "squat trot." I find it to be extremely unnatural and quite humorous!
Beckey Schooler--My biggest pet peeve is when exhibitors in the showmanship have their arms down and are constantly pulling down on the chain after each maneuver. I consider that schooling and they are automatically out in my book.
Holly Hover--When competitors show a very animated way of running. It is one of the difficulties I have as a judge--especially if the showman does everything else correctly. I don't want to reward this "gimmicky" look but at the same time I don't want to penalize them too harshly. Also, exhibitors need to be aware that judges are watching the warm up pen and if we see someone jerking and whipping their horse before or after the class--they may be severely penalized. Also, the exhibitor needs to continue showing to the very end because you shouldn't give anything away. If you tell us you didn't do well by your body language, then that may be taken into consideration when we are marking down your score.
Charlene Carter---During the inspection--when the exhibitor crosses over in a bouncy and artificial fashion--that is not credit earning. Also, it is not a good look when some people dip their head down on their crossovers. Also, when they stand and present, they do not need to lean back and arch their back where their shoulders are behind their hips. There needs to be a straight line from their shoulders to their hip to their heel. Their back needs to be flat like they are standing against a wall. Their shoulders and their toes need to be going in the same direction and they should not break in the middle.
Question #2--What sets your winner apart from the rest?
Holly Hover--They must have confidence and also perform an accurate pattern.
Beckey Schooler--The one thing that sets my winner apart is when they move with style and grace.
Becky Schooler--As far as the set up, it is also not a speed contest and you must take the time to set it up correctly even if it takes the competitor a little extra time. It is supposed to be like a halter class where you are presenting the horse to the judge, so you need to present the horse to the best of your ability.
Charlene Carter--If it takes a showman slightly longer to achieve perfection in the set up, I don't consider it a major fault, but it depends on how other people do in the class and I score it accordingly.
Holly Hover-- It has to be scored according to degree of difficulty. I would say the longest the set up should take is between three to five seconds. Three seconds in the regular classes and up to five seconds in the novice. The set up needs to be correct foremost and that perfection should not be sacrificed for speed.
Question #4--How do you penalize a horse that moves his pivot foot?
Brent Maxwell--Regarding the pivot foot, we must keep in mind that this is only one maneuver in the pattern but I will score the maneuver as a major fault. So, an excellent exhibitor that may have marked in the 90's would receive a score in the 60's. This score still may place at an average weekend show but at shows such as the Congress or World Shows, this error should keep you from winning a ribbon.
Beckey Schooler--If the horse slides his foot a bit that would not be a big fault in my book, but if they have a huge step out--that would be a major fault.
Charlene Carter--According to the rules, moving the pivot foot is a major fault in the showmanship. They really need to stick it to place high on my card, especially at the big shows. Also, I like when they glance down at the pivot foot because their horse's foot is telling them how they need to proceed--whether they need to pull them slightly forward or push them back to keep them in a correct position.
Holly Hover--The judges scoring sheets are a work in progress but moving the pivot foot is a mistake and should be scored accordingly. The judge should be able to tell whether the horse made a misstep or whether they are just readjusting their foot to position it for comfort and to protect their soundness.
Question #5--Do you mind if the exhibitor nods their head at the beginning or end of the pattern?
Holly Hover---It is okay at the beginning of the pattern but please don't nod at the end, especially when you haven't even finished the pattern. I see some people that are nodding before they finish their last maneuver. It is distracting and not appropriate.
Beckey Schooler--I don't mind if the exhibitor nods at the beginning of the pattern but do not look back when you finish your pattern. If you do that, to me, you are asking me if you did okay. Be confident and just leave when you are done.
Charlene Carter--I don't mind it in the beginning of the pattern but do NOT look back at the end of the pattern, especially if you are trotting away---that is extremely dangerous and not necessary.
Brent Maxwell--I am not offended when an exhibitor nods at the beginning or end of a pattern. They are just acknowledging a signal from the judge or the ring steward. However, I do not feel it is necessary to nod at the end of a pattern where the judge is behind the exhibitor and they have to contort themselves to make eye contact.
Question #6--Do you find audible cues like persistent kissing, clucking, or "shooshing" during the pattern annoying?
Brent Maxwell--A good showmanship horse will respond to an exhibitors body position but subtle cues may be necessary for a departure or increase in speed for example. I do find persistent audible kissing, clucking, or "shooshing" annoying and think it shows the horse's inability to respond.
Beckey Schooler--Audible cues at the beginning of a pattern to get a horse started is fine but excessive clucking or kissing does not leave an overall good impression.
Charlene Carter--I don't mind a slight cluck at the beginning of each maneuver and a soft whoa but I hate with a passion when people are clucking, and kissed excessively and very loudly. I put a huge N on my card for, "Noise" and if there are two exhibitors tied and I see that big N--I always put them lower. The class is supposed to be about being a team and connecting with your horse with your body language not with loud audible cues--that tells me the showman is "begging" their horse to do the maneuvers which goes against the main purpose of this class.
Holly Hover--My thoughts are if anything is excessive--it is not a good thing. I don't like anything that looks overdone. To me excessive audible cues is like a refusal. The horse is not wanting to complete that particular maneuver.
Question#7--What length would you like the chain to be in the Showmanship?
Holly Hover--Same thing as cues, anything excessive is distracting. A long chain is bothersome to me because it flops around--I prefer closer contact with the horse. I prefer a length of chain to be from a person's thumb to their wrist. Leather chains are also fine if a horse is really sensitive and does not do well with a chin under the chin.
Beckey Schooler--As far as chain length, I'm not a fan of a long draped chain because I think it leads to the horse moving his pivot foot and the person not having as much control.
Charlene Carter--I think it needs to be customized to each horse. The showman needs to find out what is best for their horse. Don't just buy a chain and assume that length will work. Some horses work better with a shorter length while other prefer a longer chain. You have to practice and try different lengths to discover what works best.
Brent Maxwell--For exhibitors that can show their horses on a looser shank, I prefer that the length come from the leather strap rather than having a long chain. A long chain will swing during the pattern and also has a tendency to slide through the halter during presentation leaving a drooping chain under the chin when the exhibitor lifts their hand. I do not like a fixed chain either, one that is pulled up as tight as it can be without having any links extending from the halter. A good exhibitor knows how many links in the chain are protruding from the halter and wants the same length for every performance. I would say that 2-4 inches of chain would be sufficient. Also for a cleaner look on the halter, I recommend having your chain cut to a length that keeps the chain from being looped back on the halter on the right side of the halter.
Question#8--What are some of your attire likes and dislikes?
Charlene Carter--Personally, I don't care for suits and men's ties on women in the showmanship. I like a neat sparkly turned out look. I don't like black with sorrels and I like a lighter colored hat because it opens up the upper body. The hat needs to be shaped well and up on the sides and if you can't buy an expensive hat--then just get your hat shaped often so it will maintain it shape. I would recommend people watching some of the girls that win in the class and take pictures of their attire and you can take it to where you get your hat and clothes and show it to them so they have a better idea of the desired look. Also, men really need to make sure their suits fit well and are not too loose. Whatever they choose--it needs to compliment the horse.
Beckey Schooler--One of the biggest attire faults I see in the showmanship is pants that are too short. It takes away from the overall picture. A nice fitted suit with an adequate pant length and hat with a nice shape are two things I look for in the showmanship class.
Brent Maxwell--Trends in fashion constantly change but whatever the trend wear something that defines you and your style. Make sure your clothing fits properly and that your hat is cleaned and shaped. And don't forget those boots. Keep them polished and clean. Men should make sure that their suits are tailored and fit properly as well. Make sure that your hair is up and not covering your number. Your number should be placed squarely in the center of your back. Don't put it on the bottom of your jacket. If you do, it looks like you are wearing a license plate!
Holly Hover--What you wear is part of your salesmanship. A well fitted suit with an adequate pant length and a nice shaped hat are a must for me.
Question#9--If you could give one piece of advice to someone showing in showmanship, what would it be?

FG: In addition to your weekly Health Journal column, you write a feature for the Journal called Health Mailbox, in which you answer reader-submitted questions about their health concerns. Yet you're not a doctor. That sounds tricky. How do you pull it off?
TPP: I would not say that I give medical advice. I think medical advice is something that you give to someone about their personal health situation. I give medical information. I'm giving people a general guide to getting the answers themselves. I'm very careful. I would never try to deal with someone's specific health issue. And I always talk to experts and doctors in the field. I think that's why people read the Mailbox. I'm giving them access to some of the top medical experts.
FG: We recently wrote a story criticizing a journalist for not disclosing her source's relationship to a drug company. Is that something you find yourself constantly on the guard against — that is, doctors with undisclosed connections to pharmaceutical companies or similar conflicts of interest?
TPP: The thinking at the Wall Street Journal is that we want to know these relationships. When I talk to somebody, I do ask them what their relationship is with the company or with the industry. What's difficult here is the implicit notion that if you have ties to the drug company that the information is somehow less credible. I don't think that's always the case. I think it's important for the reader to know that and have the opportunity to judge that information on their own.
But I think just because somebody does not have drug company funding does not mean that they don't have an agenda or a bias. People have invested huge amounts of money and careers in a certain way of thinking, and they bring that to the discussion as well. It's harder, I think, to relay that to a reader. You can't just assume that because somebody doesn't have ties to the drug industry that they're always right. I think you have to guard against that way of thinking and approach everyone with the same amount of skepticism.
FG: When it comes to health stories, I have a pet peeve. I can't stand all those supposedly shocking stories about all the bacteria in, say, your kitchen sink, or in the family hot tub. Is there any genre of health story that drives you crazy?
TPP: I would say that my pet peeve is when I see somebody take a single study as the final word on a subject. In medicine, nothing is ever the final word. It's always just one more piece of the puzzle. We're all guilty of this sometimes because we get caught up in the story we're writing.
I think that's what has happened with the reporting on the WHI. Everybody has bought into this notion that the WHI, because it's a randomized clinical trial, is the final word and the best evidence that we have. No. It's very important, and it is a huge contribution to the knowledge. But you can't forget about everything else that came before it. Really, it's one study.
FG: So are your friends and coworkers constantly harassing you about their every ache and pain? Is that a hazard of writing a health column?
TPP: I get tons of ideas from my life, my friends. It's really good feedback. Health is so personal. You just really have to listen to what people are thinking about and talking about and saying. The vast majority of my ideas are not so much from the medical journals, but from what people are talking about. I like when people send me notes and say, 'My great aunt's best friend's cousin had this happen to her. What do you think?'

How safe are my card details?
nexrastore use SagePay, a leading Payment Service Provider, to handle all credit and debit card transactions on this site. We do not store card details on this site. As you move to the checkout area to pay for your selection, a padlock should appear in the bottom right of your screen.

Why is there a quantity limit on some items?
We want all of our valued customers to have their order fulfilled without problem. 'Out-of-stocks' are unavoidable but to reduce them we set a quantity limit on some items.
My product looks different to last time
Many manufacturers use natural ingredients, which can vary or change in consistency, viscosity, smell and appearance due to seasonal changes. This is unavoidable and also the beauty of Mother Nature, it should not affect the perfomance of your product in anyway.
My order failed in SagePay, why?

When your credit/debit card is successfully processed by SagePay, you will receive two confirmation emails; one from SagePay and another from nexrastore confirming that we have received your order.
Please check your SPAM, TRASH, JUNK folders to ensure our confirmation has not accidentally landed there before contacting us. Some email providers (Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo etc) have powerful filters which screen-out our calling cards. If you have to retrieve our email from this type of folder, mark it 'Not Junk' or 'Not Trash' to ensure future correspondence arrives to your Inbox correctly.When will my order despatch?
For UK deliveries, nexrastore aim to despatch orders within 2-3 working days unless you have selected 'Next Day' delivery, in which case we aim to despatch your order within 24 hours (weekdays only). Once your order is ready to go, we will send you confirmation via email.

Where is my order?
Please check the delivery schedules outlined in the 'Delivery' section of the nexrastore website, the service you select at checkout will determine the number of days it will take for your order to arrive with you. The timeframes do not include the 2-3 days it takes to process and pack your order.

Hi! I have a corn plant that was given to me last spring and it's been slowly dying. I have been careful about not watering too much as I read that was a big problem with these plants. I've never had many house plants so I'm very new at this, but I feel awful because I think this plant may be beyond help... Thank you for any advice at all! Alyce |

A plant out of the light and without water. Those 2 things will make it look like this. |
Hi, It's been in front of a window that gets some morning light and I've been watering it about every 10 days. When my friend gave me the plant she said she had put it in a new pot and trimmed the root ball. There used to be 2 stalks coming out of the cane, but it got very brown and all of the leaves started dropping off so I cut that stalk off. The leaves on the new growth at the base of the cane look somewhat healthier, but I'm just not sure what to do next... |
The plant has a fungal infection that probably started in the roots and has gone systemic, attacking the plant's vasculature - which is why you can see even the main stem withering and collapsing on itself as a result of the plant's inability to move water. Sadly, I would agree with you that the plant isn't going to recover. ;-( Al |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Solie!
Facts about Solie
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Solie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
They are heartbroken to have to give her up but feel as though they don't have any other choice. I've been sitting for Solie for 4 years and she is such a great dog! She'll be 9 years old this month, is very sweet, gets along well with other dogs and everyone else (with the exception of small children being in her face). She's a Lab/Hound mix and has the typical Hound bark.
Her house now has an invisible fence that she does great with - has never run through it. Her old house, however, she went out on a cable and never broke off of that either. She loves walks, is completely housebroken and has never once had an accident in the 4 years that I've been sitting for her.
She doesn't have any health problems and isn't on any medications. She's really low maintencence and isn't hyperactive at all. She loves to sit down and cuddle on the couch or watch TV. She can be left alone in the house and won't destroy anything. Overall, she's an excellent dog. Oh, and she gets along with cats too! She likes to chase them but has never hurt them.
Anyone who is interested can contact me, Mylyssa, at 724-423-3229 or email@example.com.
This dog is not at our shelter and the adoption of her has nothing to do with Animal Keepers Rescue. Don't call us if interested. Call the number above. We know nothing about this dog. We are posting her for a friend of the shelter.
Other Pets at Animal Keepers Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Solie, a Acme Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Acme, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Acme.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Acme already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Acme breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Acme paves the way for another one to be saved.
