PITTSBURGH – There has been no shortage of Notre Dame players that have emerged from the shadows of September because of increased opportunity as this football season has progressed. Mostly, those athletes have showcased their skills on the defensive side of the ball due to the inordinate amount of injuries that have plagued the Fighting Irish in that regard. However, tight end Ben Koyack has burst onto the scene of late not due to someone else's misfortune, but simply due to his ability.
"He's just been emerging and maturing," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
The junior has played in all 10 games this fall, and started four of them, but never really made his presence felt until mid-season.
After going five consecutive games without a reception, Koyack has nine catches over the past five games, including four against Pittsburgh on Saturday.
"He's a talented young man," Kelly said. "But it's just been taking some time."
Koyack's development has given a boost to the young Notre Dame receiving corps, which has centered on talented senior T.J. Jones, inconsistent sophomore DaVaris Daniels, and reliable junior tight end Troy Niklas. Together with Niklas, the Irish tight ends have combined for 23 receptions and five touchdowns since mid-October.
"Ben has gotten his confidence and he's certainly shown that he can be a big asset," Kelly said.
Koyack totaled just three receptions for 39 yards as a sophomore, but racked up career-bests in receiving yards each of the past two games. After gaining 34 yards against Navy last week, Koyack totaled 76 yards against the Panthers. He also has scored a touchdown in three of the past four games, and nearly did on Saturday, but his knee was ruled down at the one-yard line.
Despite the increasing success, Koyack felt no need to talk about individual growth following his team's third loss against seven defeats on Saturday.
"To be honest, I can't speak for everybody, but I know that I probably could have blocked a couple of plays better and maybe ran some better routes, personally," Koyack self-analyzed. "We executed pretty well, in general, it's just a couple of plays, especially in such a competitive game. That is all that it takes."
Smith shines
Former Bishop Luers High School standout Jaylon Smith continues to make the transition from IHSAA Class 2A football to the BCS level look relatively easy.
For the third time in five games, the freshman outside linebacker led the Fighting Irish in tackles in Saturday's 28-21 loss at Pittsburgh.
Smith totaled 11 tackles (seven solo) and a tackle for a loss in the defeat.
For the season, he ranks fourth on the squad with 53 total tackles (30 solo), 6 � for a loss, one interception, a pair of pass break-ups, three pass deflections, one fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
Tuitt's absence not a factor
Early in the second quarter, Notre Dame's already decimated defense (by injuries this season) took another blow, as All-American defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt was ejected after being called for a targeting personal foul on a hit to Pitt quarterback Tom Savage.
"Letter of the law," Kelly said of the explanation given to him during the game. "(The officials) were saying it was helmet-to-helmet contact. They were reciting the strict interpretation of the rule."
Kelly wasn't happy with the explanation and let the officials know that, but he wasn't making excuses afterward and attributing the defeat to losing one of his top players.
"Stephon Tuitt not playing in this game, that's not why we lost this football game," Kelly said. "That is not why we lost this game. That had nothing to do with this loss tonight.
"That's a question (regarding the call), and that whole rule, that's a time and a place that can be handled. This really was about our football team going on the road and executing poorly on offense and not being good enough when they needed to be on defense."

Edward Garland Figg, Scottish Migrant & Doctor (1815-1902)
Image: Document -
Source: Museum Victoria
Edward Garland Figg (hereafter Dr. Figg) was born in 1815 in Devon, England, to Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Figg of the Royal Engineers, and Eliza Armstrong. His father may have fought in the battle of Waterloo. In 1826 the family migrated to Quebec, Canada, aboard the Vibila. Edward Figg Snr. was probably stationed at Fort Chambly, where he died in December 1829. Eliza also died in Canada. After their parents' death, all four Figg children appear to have returned to Great Britain.
A medical doctor, Dr. Figg practised from at least 1851 to 1861 in Boness, West Lothian, Scotland. He married his first cousin Annie Jane Hudson (his and Annie's mothers were sisters) at Canongate, Edinburgh, on October 28, 1850. Annie and Dr. Figg had at least 7 children, of whom all but one migrated to Australia. The Figgs appear to have migrated in groups, beginning with Dr. Figg and daughter Harriet, arriving February 1865 aboard the Great Britain.
Dr. Figg was involved in the Williamstown community professionally and socially. The acting public vaccinator for Williamstown, Dr. Figg had begun to perform post mortems for and testify as part of coronial enquiries by 1865, and was practicing as a medical physician in the Williamstown area.
Dr. Figg's personal and professional life in Williamstown was characterised by personal tragedies and professional and legal controversy. He appears to have been a religious bigot and a bully who threatened anyone who didn't agree with him with violence or legal action. At best his peers considered his behaviour that of a harmless eccentric and at worst that of a maniac. At the same time, he was a feminist, a poet and the proud owner of a prize winning mastiff, Gordon. Clearly, Dr. Figg was a complex individual.
Although never charged with malpractice or criminal offenses (he was fined on occasion), Dr. Figg was brought before the court many times on charges of assault, using offensive language, and in relation to inquests where patients under his care had died, either through the effects of chloroform, or from other causes, including complications from alleged illegal abortions.
In 1889 Dr. Figg, then in his 70s, was asked by the Board of Health to resign on grounds of inefficiency, though as early as 1870 his qualifications were being questioned. He did not resign, requesting instead a year's leave on full pay, which may have been granted him, as he briefly returned to Scotland in 1891. Dr. Figg died in at home in Williamstown in 1902.
How Dr. Figg and Robert Willian knew each other is uncertain. Perhaps Dr. Figg treated the Willian family professionally, or perhaps they knew each other through Williamstown's Scottish community. Dr. Figg was known to Edward Quigley (owner of the Princes Street property prior to Mark Nelson) by 1866 and was known to JKO Smith (see HT32087 and HT32088) and Mr Roberts (see HT32089 and HT32090) by 1885. Relations between the Figg and Willian families may have been purely business or property related.

Hallelujah! Your love is amazing
[Psalm 150:6]
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet
Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me
When I am surrounded, Your love carries me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing
Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing deep inside of me
Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through
And I can feel this God song, rising up in me
Yes, You make me sing
Lord, You make me sing, sing, sing
How You make me sing

Shares in Shenzhen-listed chemical supplier Zhejiang Satellite Petrochemical rose 1.6% to close at record high of 35.92 yuan today, advancing the fortune of its newly minted billionaire chairman Yang Weidong.
A three-quarters gain in Zhejiang Satellite's stock price in the past year made Yang's holding in the company worth $1. 1 billion at today's close. That figure includes a minority stake owned by his wife who doesn't have a position in the business.
Zhejiang Satellite Petrochemical is part of the larger Zhejiang Satellite Holding Group led by Yang whose businesses include logistics and other chemicals.
China has been one of the world's fast-growing sources of new billionaires in the past decade. The 2013 Forbes China Rich List published last October had a record 168 billionaires from the country.
Yang, 45, holds an EMBA from Zhejiang University.

The 2nd Amendment, Batman & High Fructose Corn Syrup
Riveting. Horrifying. Stunning.
I'm no fan of Piers Morgan, but this is–to my eyes–one of the most unbelievable snapshots of lunacy I have ever witnessed.
"…suicide pills…mass-murder pills…"
The last 60 seconds of this are jaw-dropping.
This guy needs to be in a straightjacket and on meds, STAT!
This is exactly how the fringe right tends to get their way, they simply railroad over any kind of true give-and-take discussion and think that LOUD and crazy wins.
jolly Roger ? um ??? what ????
And his contract get renew for another five years due to high rating. That's the fringe benefit generated by fox news.
British Airways ? Yes, id like a one way ticket to LHR. This afternoon.
THIS is exactly why we need gun control. This guy is a complete nut job, and should certainly not be allowed to own guns. Wholly crap! This man will go even further over the edge, not much further to go, and kill someone himself. Seriously?!?
Holy crap. LOL
If guns don't kill people then why do these paranoid people want and need them? Because they're pretty?
Jones is his own worst argument. I can't for the life of me understand why people like him are so paranoid and hostile. They seem to live in a fantasy world where they believe themselves to be rabid patriots defending their property and family against a menacing government. These people are what medication is made for.
You know who else was loud and crazy? Hitler
Jack M… the reason "why people like him are so paranoid and hostile" is evident. But because you probably avoid listening to right wing radio and television talkers it seems hard to understand. These are the same people who "believe" Obama is an illegal alien. They are told the same lies and propaganda over and over and over. It's an effective way to control the weak minded. And this guy is the proof.
"I can't for the life of me understand why people like him are so paranoid and hostile."
I can't understand it either, Jack M. Over Christmas I learned my 20 y.o. nephew sleeps with a loaded gun within reach and he insists that his girlfriend do as well. They live in a very rural area where crime is almost unheard of.
He had one part of it right. I honestly think the way the news media handles these mass shootings is to blame for there being more and more of them. Other than that, he is a maniac who lives in a constant state of fear and horror at everything around him and he spreads that BS to everyone who tunes in and drinks his Kool-Aid.
"Truther", like "Tranny" or "Faggot", is offensive.
I can hardly pay attention to what he's saying, on account of his ridiculous vocal fry every few words.
Idiocy dangerously mixed with lunacy from the old faithful, "Might is Right" brigade. In their world, he who has the biggest guns and can win in a physical fight is RIGHT.
"I'll wear red, white and blue and you can wear your jolly roger!" Let me first point out that he obviously meant "Union Jack" but he's too stupid to know the difference between a Union Jack and a Jolly Roger. Now that we understand that, please allow me to translate his statement from Teabagistani into English, "I'll wear red, white and blue and you can wear the colors of your commie, faggot Britishter flag!"
And he's one of the more intelligent orators of Teabagistan!
Holy moly.
best quote by Piers Morgan "Whatever"
That was a little too much Red State thinking.
He is really crazy.
That was a little too much Red State thinking.
He is really crazy.
Someone get that man some lithium.
He doesn't need guns to protect his family since they probably have all left. His family members are the ones who need guns to protect themselves from this lunatic.
Whatever Morgan was on I'd like to have some of it. One thing is clear: to Jones, no facts are allowed.
"…why people like him are so paranoid and hostile."
They were raised that way.
Another hillbilly pissed about the size of his c@ck!
This guys (and others like him) are nothing more than a powerless, fat, middle aged heterosexual, white man with a hero complex. He's realized that he will never be anyone of any importance or signifigance and he is inheriting a country where fat, middle aged, heterosexual white men are losing control of everything to the minority/majority, instead of "coming to their own" sense of power, control and entitlement. The closest he will ever get to holding the "power" his ancestors had is whatever he can shoot out of a gun and into someone else (problaby preferably black, mexican, or gay, you know, the enemy).
A stunning example of the type of unbalanced person who should not be allowed to own a gun.
Jonathon – good point on right wing radio. My dad has turned into a nut job who ruined christmas dinner arguing crazy talking points to prove Obama is not a citizen. Did you know his birth certificate was typed by a different typewriter than all the other birth certificates? My dad voted for Clinton in 92. He started listening to right wing talk radio when a new job added a 2 hour daily commute.
Trying to have a reasonable debate with a 2nd Amendment absolutust is like trying to debate religion and the bible with a Phelps lunatic. It can't be done. But it probably helps to undermine their cause by allowing people to see just how crazy they are.
Well.. he sure isn't mental health to own a gun (let alone 50+). And good job on Piers for completely discrediting him with one question about his beliefs on 9/11
@Andrew: I'll take it two steps further, 2nd Amendment absolutism is a religion that is not a choice.
You people are funny. Jones of course is an entertainer. Who knows what he's really all about, nothing would surprise me, including if he was some kind of intelligence organization asset. That said, if you actually listened to him, he made perfectly legitimate points. As for the government poisoning citizens with drugs, his actual point is we have way too many people, especially kids and young adult, all hopped up on dangerous psychotropic drugs, and that this very much plays a major role in many acts of violence and suicides, which are epidemic. This is a bad situation, and it isn't adequately discussed and no attempt is made to remedy the situation because the big pharma corporations make VERY BIG $ off th drugs [and the federal government helps subsidize this business model]. NO mainstream media source is going to seriously question this widespread drug use because of the huge $ made from pharma advertising. Likewise, their lobbying organizations own politicians in D.C. and state capitals. This is not a wild conspiracy, it's in fact the truth.
Morgan doesn't impress me in the slightest. Aside from the fact he had to run out of the UK because of nefarious sh*t he did their, his claim that he remains sedate in interviews like this one with Jones is he wants to have a rational discussion. In fact, he simply ignored everything Jones said, and most of what he said was in fact legitimate and rational, if not his delivery. Morgan's mantra is England has low 'gun crime'. That's it. He of course neglects to mention England has high rates of violent crime in general, especially in it's urban areas, lots of serious assaults, robberies, etc., including plenty of 'knife crime' as they quaintly call it. And in fact people do routinely get prosecuted for DEFENDING themselves in their own homes during assaults and robberies. This is all 100% true. Why anyone would take Morgan seriously, let alone as a paragon of virtue and truth is beyond me. The guy is despised in the UK.
As for 9/11:
Is Jones a disinfo agent of some kind or trolling for some group? Who knows, nothing would surprise me in this world. I personally believe the Westboro Church people are in fact mega trolls and this will eventually co me out. That said, who here is absolutely sure they know the 100% truth about what happened @ 9/11? Who reading this believes absolutely the official version of events? I don't. I think our government, major institutions public and private lie all the time, and cover up all the time. I think a lot of what we've been taught about historical events is in fact outright lies or at best very flawed and inaccurate, usually through the sin of omission. We are all fed a steady stream of half truth propaganda from all sides all the time, from the moment we're born. We're all brainwashed from birth. And I don't consider this 'conspiracy nut' [READ: right-wingnut sh*t in progressive-speak], I think it's simply reality.
I have no hard opinions or feelings about this Jone's guy at all. He's most likely just a showman/entertainer [which he has to be to do his job everyday…what he does on radio show day after day isn't easy to do and requires him to entertain as much as pass on information]. By comparison, I find Morgan to be at best droll, an outright bore. Even if I agree with 99% of what he says, I'd still admit the guy is very dull to watch and listen to. Some people think this translates into sophistication, and it doesn't. Morgan in reality is a fully exposed sleazebag in the UK. It's the #1 reason why he's over here in the U.S. now. Some Americans of course SWOON over anyone with a English accent, which they equate with sophistication; my mom was born and raised in England, so I'm immune to that childish, ignorant cr*p.
Maybe Alex should smoke another box of cigarettes. Geez. What a whack job.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jones has rooms in house covered in newspaper clippings, a whiteboard with rants about fluoride & mind control, and a shrine to Jodie Foster.
This should be shown everywhere as the prime example of the lunacy of the extreme right wing. Exhibit A.
What Alex Jones did was make the term Democide go viral. Google it like he said. Track it but most of all spread the word about with the weblinks below. It is our best argument against gun control by far.
This is the largest database of Democide death/murder by government on the net after disarmament.262,000,000 million slaughtered by their own governments.6 times more murdered by their own governments than those killed in ALL THE WARS IN THE LAST CENTURY COMBINED. Think about for a minute. Are you going to turn in any weapon if they are banned? Anyone that says "Oh but that could never happen here, this is the USA" is historically unaware.
Democide is the best argument against any kind of restrictions or gun bans of any kind in my opinion.
Will americans want to Deport Alex Jones instead?
The "Deport Alex Jones" page on facebook is already growing
that was beautiful!
it's like having an internet troll on television! since they can't make an intelligent point to save their life, they yell, move goalposts, make strawman arguments, change the subject entirely, avoid, evade, play victim and then scream.
this was an hilarious and depressing interview. hilarious because he's so stupid he proves everyone else right, and depressing because grown men like this actually exist.
To deport him won't work because no country will let him in. May be send him to a madhouse.
Unfortunately, you can't deport a U.S. citizen. Maybe we can offer him a trip to Venus. Just don't tell him that the Russians landed a spacecraft there in 1970 and the surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead. Spacecraft that have landed there did not survive very long.
If Alex Jones hears about the temperature, just tell him its a "global warming" thing, and let him decide whether to believe the numbers.
Oh yeah! That twit is sane enough to own the fifty plus guns he thinks he needs to "protect" his family. Certainly he is! I can sleep so much better now just knowing that him and his ilk are so well armed. Assault guns for everyone. The crazier the better. Sheesh!
Who could it be…? Could it be….. SATAN?!?
u know, I think this guy is completely insane, and while watching the first video (i could not stomach the second), I went through a range of emotions, from being surprised, to laughing out loud, getting sad, and worried, and angry… so I do not think he has much or any credibility, because of the way he behaved… and I do think his guys should be deported, I mean, confiscated…
having said all that I also agree with RatBastard's first message (as I have not seen the second video, I can't say I agree with the specifics of his second message, bu totally understand and agree with the gist)… I think the guys is onto something, as far as government and industry control, but his delivery is the wrong method… complicated issue… these two, together in a room, makes me saddened and worried about America… maybe I want to deport myself now…
guns, not guys

This concept is for games in which the main character is male.
Moral dilemmas presented to the player that often have a significant effect on the story or other characters.
Sometimes we will go a whole game without knowing the true name of a protagonist. Oftentimes, this is remedied by unique references being made towards the protagonist, such as "The Wanderer," "The Kid," or "The Man With no Name."
A mode that allows a game to be replayed after a first completion, carrying over items, experience, weapons, and other elements from the first playthrough.

What is a Lease Agreement Good-Guy Guarantee?
Good-guy guarantees in lease agreements are personal guarantees that are limited. That is if you personally guarantee the lease for your business location then your guarantee will be limited (typically) to past due rent or a set amount but not for the rent due throughout the entire term of your business lease.
The Parties to a Lease Involving A Good Guy Guarantee
In the typical small business lease agreement the parties involved are the:
- landlord;
- tenant who is typically a corporation or limited liability company; and
- individual shareholder / owner of the corporate tenant.
Since most small businesses do not possess substantial assets or a complete earnings track record most commercial landlords require their small business lease agreements to be guaranteed by the "individual" shareholder / owner of the corporate tenant.
What Should Be In A Good Guy Guarantee?
A "good guy guarantee" refers to the limited personal guarantee of the corporate tenant's individual owner. Although the form of this "good guy" guarantee is subject to variation it provides for the termination of the "individual personal guarantee" upon the satisfaction of the following "good guy" acts:
- providing the landlord with pre-notice of the termination / breach of the lease agreement;
- surrender of the business premises in good and proper condition; and
- satisfaction and payment of all past due rent and additional rent obligations.
The benefit of a "good guy guarantee" is that an individual guarantor will not be liable for "future lost rent" in instances involving the early termination / breach of the lease agreement.

Originally written on Philliedelphia | Last updated 7/5/12
A rubbermatch between Cole Hamels and R.A. Dickey sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Hamels and Dickey went head to head tonight in the first game of the season started by double-digit winners. Dickey has an excellent 2012 season so far up his sleeves with two one-hitters, and a miniscule ERA to match his 12-1 record. He would prove to be no match for the Phillies. With Juan Pierre and Carlos Ruiz on base in the top of the first, Shane Victorino pulled through with an RBI single, putting the Phils up on the board early on. In the second, Placido Polanco scored on a double to deep, deep right field from Jimmy Rollins, giving them a 2-0 lead. Scott Hairston single-handedly brought the Mets within one with a solo homer in the bottom of the second. The bottom of the third brought about some trouble for Hamels. With two men on, David Wright battled for a single up the middle to score Dickey, tying the ballgame. Cole retired the side with his pitch count a little higher than he would...

Milly Dowler's mother did not sleep for three nights after she learned that a private detective working for the News of the World hacked her daughter's phone, the Leveson Inquiry has heard.
Sally Dowler described her joy when she was given false hope that Milly was still alive after investigator Glenn Mulcaire deleted some of the murdered schoolgirl's voicemails. [See foonote]
She rang her daughter's phone repeatedly in the weeks after she vanished as she walked home in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, in March 2002, the inquiry into press standards was told.
"At first we were able to leave messages, and then her voicemail became full and then you rang and then you just got the recorded 'you are unable to leave messages at the moment'," she said.
Mrs Dowler continued calling 13-year-old Milly's number and felt elation when she finally got through to her daughter's recorded message.
She told the inquiry: "I rang her phone. It clicked through onto her voicemail, so I heard her voice and it was just like, 'she's picked up her voicemail, she's alive'. When we were told about the hacking, that's the first thing I thought.
"I spoke to Gemma (her other daughter) and then it sort of died down afterwards because you're thinking, 'is that the only reason it could have happened?', or what have you. But like I told my friends, 'she's picked up her voicemail, she's picked up her voicemail'."
Mrs Dowler said the credit on Milly's mobile phone was very low so police put more money on it. But she could not remember how detectives reacted when she told them that her daughter appeared to have accessed her voicemails.
Mrs Dowler described the moment, just before the trial of a man accused of Milly's murder, when police told her and her husband Bob that Mulcaire hacked their daughter's phone.
She said: "We got a call from our FLO (police family liaison officer) to say that the Met Police wanted to see us and to tell us vaguely what it was about. As soon as I was told it was about phone hacking, literally I didn't sleep for about three nights because you replay everything in your mind and just think, 'oh, that makes sense now, that makes sense'."
Copyright (c) Press Association Ltd. 2011, All Rights Reserved. The following was published on 12 December 2011 in the corrections and clarifications column: An article about the investigation into the abduction and death of Milly Dowler (News of the World hacked Milly Dowler's phone during police hunt, 5 July, page 1) stated that voicemail "messages were deleted by [NoW] journalists in the first few days after Milly's disappearance in order to free up space for more messages. As a result friends and relatives of Milly concluded wrongly that she might still be alive." Since this story was published new evidence as reported in the Guardian of 10 December has led the Metropolitan police to believe that this was unlikely to have been correct and that while the News of the World hacked Milly Dowler's phone the newspaper is unlikely to have been responsible for the deletion of a set of voicemails from the phone that caused her parents to have false hopes that she was alive, according to a Metropolitan police statement made to the Leveson inquiry on 12 December.

Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
Favorite thing:
I like two types of cemeteries quite different from each other: the British war cemeteries (ref. my tips on Ypres (Belgium) and Etaples (North of France) with their beautiful layout of all the same tombs of young men who should have lived three times as long as they did and the Père Lachaise cemetery with all the different tombs of people who lived a normal life that ended by illness, sometimes an accident or just age.
What surprised me at the Père Lachaise is the complete absence of geometrical layout as found in most cemeteries of our regions. This cemetery of 44 hectares surprised me by its aspect of an "English garden" with uneven alleys, ways and paths intermingling in an inextricable labyrinth.
The vegetation, more than 5.000 tall trees of all species, dominates everything, even the highest monuments. The hilliness of the cemetery, the roots of the trees destabilized many monuments which lean towards their neighbours. The Père Lachaise is known as the largest garden of Paris, but it is an almost wild garden. The cobblestones of the alleys do not facilitate walking.
There are approximately 70.000 monuments of all styles: antique, gothic, haussmannien or simple tomb stones.
The shape of funeral monuments mostly met is that of a "little house" serving for all the family what explains why there are approximately 300.000 bodies buried here.
From these more than 200 belong to celebrities and here starts the recreational aspect of visiting the cemetery in search of the famous tombs. Here I can say "Tell me what tomb you visited and I will tell you who you are": Jim Morrison or Frédéric Chopin, Oscar Wilde or Molière, La Fontaine, Balzac, Proust?
My favored tomb is that of the sculptor and painter Arman who wrote as an epitaph on his tomb:
Favorite thing:
Camille Marceau daughter of Mime artist and revivalist, Marcel Marceau died in Paris Last night.
It was in the 60.s in Johannesburg, either the HIs Majesty or Colluseum Theatre that i was privileged to see him perform.
His character Bip, the white-faced clown in striped pullover and hat, made his first appearance in 1947.
At 78 in 2001, Marcel Marceau has been chosen to be a United Nations goodwill ambassador for the older generation, where the aged population over 60 years is predicted to be almost two billion by the year 2050, compared to 606 million today.
Cemetaries are part of Paris, many famed personalities are buried there, and on my next visit, at Pere Lachaise cemetery i will pay tribute to Marcel Marceau as an mddlle aged global ciitizen
Fondest memory: ir's personality, it aloofness probably beacause i do not speak the language, its sophistication
Favorite thing:
Many French musicians and singers are buried on the hill of this cemetery. The most famous (and one of the most beautiful) tomb is that of Frédéric Chopin, who had Polish origins but lived in France for a long time.
You will see the tombs of several French singers of the 20th century: Edith Piaf with her last husband Théo Sarapo (second photo), Yves Montand and his wife Simone Signoret (an actress; third picture), Serge Gainsbourg and so on.
Let us not forget the painters who rest here: have a look at Théodore Géricault's monumental tomb where he is sculptured with his masterpiece The raft of the Medusa below; and, by contrast, the simple black tomb of Eugène Delacroix.
Favorite thing:
Many famous writers are buried in this cemetery.
Most of them are giants of the French literature: Molière and La Fontaine rest close to each other (second photo), since both of them were great at depicting people's defaults in an ironic way. Here you also see the tombs of French novelist Honoré de Balzac and poet Guillaume Apollinaire.
However, one of the most famous and visited tombs of the cemetery belongs to an Irish: Oscar Wilde. His tomb is covered with many kisses that have made the name almost unreadable.
There is another tomb connected to the world of literature: that of Heloise and Abelard, the two legendary lovers. Their actual burial place is uncertain, but this tomb celebrates them anyway.
Favorite thing:
Visit the Père Lachaise Cemetery in the East of Paris (Métro : Père Lachaise or Gambetta).
The Pere Lachaise was the Louis Xiv 's confessor and the graveyard is settled on the gardens of his mansion.
Fondest memory: Set up at the beginning of the XIX° Century on the former gardens of the Father Lachaise, Louis the 14th 's confessor.
A lot of famous people : Jim Morisson (each time I go there someone asks me where is his grave), Allan Kardec the spirit (often, there is somebody, the hand put on the grave, linked with him by the mind), Molière, La Fontaine, Héloïse and Abélard the lovers (the oldest tenants of the cemetary), Chappe (there is a telegraph on his grave), Victor Noir (his bronze statue is lying on the grave), Oscar Wilde (a crazy grave), Berlioz, Chopin, Edith Piaf, ...
And a lot of beautiful statues, odd graves, moving epitaths (look at the pic).
You can buy for 1,50€ a map with the names of the most famous occupiers at a gate of the cemetary.
Not a tourist place, eventhough I met here, 10 years ago, an American teacher of French.
A good place for a photographer.
Totally free.
See the travelogue about the Cemetary.
Favorite thing:
" En vous promenant dans cet élégant cimetière (du Père-Lachaise), vous verrez un terrain acheté à perpétuité, où s'élève une tombe de gazon surmontée d'une croix en bois noir (...) "
BALZAC, Illusions perdues, Pl., t. IV.

Fondest memory:
Les accès - The accesses
Par les transports en commun.
Métro : Père-Lachaise, Gambetta (ligne 3). Philippe Auguste (ligne 2).
Bus : lignes 61 et 69.
En voiture : il suffit de retrouver le 20 ème arrondissement et l'Avenue du Père-Lachaise si vous vous garez à Gambetta (assez jolies ruelles autour du mur) ou le boulevard de Ménilmontant si vous préférez le bas pour l'entrée monumentale.
Pour se garer, c'est coton, il y a foule autour du cimetière.
Néanmoins, vous avez le choix pour les entrées, puisqu'il y a aussi l'entrée de la Poterne (boulevard de Ménilmontant), la rue de la Réunion, et la rue du Repos.
By public transportation.
Subway : Father - Lachaise, Gambetta (line 3). Philippe Auguste (line 2).
Bus : lines 61 and 69.
By car : to recover the 20th precinct and the Avenue du Père Lachaise is sufficient if you park to Gambetta (pretty enough alleys around the wall) or the Boulevard de Ménilmontant if you prefer the low for the monumental entry.
To park, it is not easy, there is crowd around the cemetery.
Nevertheless, you have the choice for the entries, since there is also the entry of the Poterne (boulevard of Ménilmontant), the Rue de la Réunion, and the Rue du Repos.
Les horaires - The timetables
Rapport au manque d'éclairage, les horaires fluctuent sur l'année.
Du 16 mars au 5 novembre, de 7h30 à 18h00.
Du 6 novembre au 15 janvier, de 8h30 à 17h00.
Du 16 janvier au 15 mars, de 8h00 à 17h30.
Pas de panique si vous n'avez pas de montre, les gardiens sifflent pendant dix minutes un quart d'heure avant la fermeture.
Report to the lack of lighting, the timetables fluctuate on the year.
Of March 16 to November 5, of 7h30 to 18h00.
Of November 6 to January 15, of 8h30 to 17h00.
Of January 16 to March 15, of 8h00 to 17h30.
No panic if you don't have a watch, the guards hiss during ten minutes a quarter of hour before closing.
Favorite thing:
The single most wonderful thing we did in Paris (besides eat) was visit Pere-LeChaise Cemetery. It is absolutely beautiful. People back home, who scoffed at the idea, are dropping their jaws at my photos. If you like B&W photography it's a great place to get really moody shots.
The statuary is excellent. We had more fun when we weren't searching for certain graves, but just wandering around and coming upon beautiful monuments.
One thing: we'd been told to look for cats but only saw one. Montmartre Cemetery, however, had DOZENS of cats and they let you walk right up to them. We took loads of pictures--cats in a cemetery make for lovely shots!
Montmartre was also much less crowded--we didn't see another soul most of the time we were there.
Fondest memory: I miss the food! I miss prix-fixe menus!
Favorite thing:
Go to anyone of the old cemeteries of Paris. Pere Lachaise is great. I love wandering the old tombs and looking at not only the art work but seeing how the famous and infamous are buried. Pere Lachaise is famous for Jim Morrison (just follow any group of teens) but also has Chopin, George Sand, Helosie & Abelarde, Yves Montand and Simone Sinoret as well as many other greats of French history.
Fondest memory: Oddly enough this was in Pere Lachaise. While trying to find the grave of someone, I saw a well dressed woman on her knees cleaning one of the more modern tombs(they are sleek,low to the ground models). She had her bucket and was sudsing and scrubbing away. When she saw me she proceeded a discourse on why she was cleaning the grave and her frustration at its location in the cemetary. I got this from gestures and intuition as I did not speak French at the time. On the tomb were several war medallions engraved on the side. It was evident that she felt her husband deserved better care and a better location. From the conditon of the tomb I also gathered the death was in the last year or so. I wanted to take a picture of this proud woman of France, but that would have been intrusive so I leaned down and gave her a hug and left her in her task. I've never forgotten that time. It was such a quiet and personal moment in someone's life to witness. As a tourist it is not common to come across those little quiet events in the lives of the people we visit. We usually just observe them at work or from a distance and never witness them as people, just ornaments of our trip.

And then there were 12, for the first time since Dec. 7.Timberwolves swingman Chase Budinger was activated for Minnesota's Thursday game in Sacramento, pushing the roster back to 12 active players, normal for some teams but a luxury for this one. Budinger has not played since tearing the meniscus in his right knee on Nov. 10 in Chicago, but he was cleared for full-contact practices on March 12.Due to the team's schedule, Budinger did not participate in his first full practice until Wednesday, and he said that he'd play Thursday if his knee responded well to the increase in activity. Thursday, he told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he would play but that he wasn't sure for how long."It feels like the first practice," Budinger said Wednesday. "Like I missed all summer and this is the first practice again. I was a little rusty out there just trying to get my legs underneath me, but all in all the knee felt great."In six games with the Timberwolves this season, Budinger was averagin...

Letters from Our Readers
To everybody at Tape Op, thank you for an informative, inspiring, outstanding magazine.
- Craig <firstname.lastname@example.com>
John, you are so right on! I woke up agitated today and posted this on Facebook: "Hammer in hands of craftsman is infinitely better than nail gun in hands of amateur." Then an hour later I just happened to find Tape Op #102 under piles of gear and parts lying around here. I flipped to the back page first, as I always do, and saw the hammer! DUDE! Don't even get me started! All my close friends are engineers, producers, and musicians. I never want to offend; I love them all dearly, and they need to make a living. This industry, like a lot of other commercial industry in America, runs on greed. It stinks, but it's "the way things are," or "it is what it is" - however you want to say it. Please keep doing your thang! When my Tape Op arrives it's like getting candy in the mail!
Your last page, "Food For Thought" [Tape Op #104] contained such great information that I fell off my chair. The first one, and the last one were the ones that knocked me out. The rest; some I agreed with, some I didn't, but overall you did it again Larry. You gave us all something to think about that was relevant. I am so grateful to receive Tape Op in print every two months.
I just read a very interesting article on "unusual microphone applications" in a magazine called Live Sound International. Author Bruce Bartlett describes various unorthodox mic techniques, including a "one mic technique invented by Tchad Blake" which he very briefly describes as: "take a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser and mount it over the kick drum top, aiming at the snare drum." It never occurred to me to mic a kit like this, and it is the closest to a perfect one mic drum technique I have ever found. Among other things, it allowed me to easily fit a kit into a dense mix consisting of some 20 various and exotic percussion instruments. I was hoping to solicit peoples' opinions on favorite one mic kit capturing techniques. Perhaps including preamp, EQ, and/or compressor choices, in addition to mic and placement selections? My favorite used to be a B&K 4006 omni small-diaphragm, about a meter out in front of the kick and a meter off the floor, pretty hot into a Demeter tube mic preamp.
As an engineer who records for a lot of producers who do the mixing (and require options), my "one mic" technique for recording drums requires no less than three mics, usually hovering around nine mics.
The one mic technique can definitely be a great sound, if you find that sweet spot. I've found that a dynamic mic works best, either a Sennheiser 421 or Shure SM7, over the kick drum, but pretty close to the shell of the snare. Compression tends to smear it too much, so I record dry and can add some later if needed. This tends to sound better when recording to tape to tame those transients. But the most important aspect is having a drummer who balances the kit well. Sometimes putting a mic right behind a drummer's head can give it a great "drummer's perspective" sound.
A few off the top: 1) A PZM taped to the drummer's shirt, low for more bass drum. 2) RCA MI-6203 Varacoustic, RCA 77DX, or AEA ribbon mic out front; potentially crushed and with added high end, if needed. 3) For high fidelity, an omni condenser, perhaps a SE-BB1 bova ball, over, or in front of, the bass drum. 4) EV635 "Hammer" mic, or Shure 55SH, perhaps through a Shure Level-Loc or variable-mu compressor. 5) Lastly, a bullet- style Turner or Shure mic behind the drummer's right elbow; add distortion and compression.
The room, drummer, and kit are undoubtedly the most important elements of a single mic drum sound, but if we're just talking about recording chain I've had a lot of different options provide great results. Firstly, you nailed it by placing a mic over the middle/drummer side of the kick drum. I recommend a pressure-omni for the job; its even frequency balance and lack of directionality mean that the whole kit will come in clearly. I've tried the same placement with cardioids, and occasionally a figure eight ribbon, and whatever's addressing the side of the mic (cymbals and toms, in this case) always sound far too clouded for my taste. It's kind of an obvious placement, actually. What do you want to hear most of? The kick and snare? Put an omni close to the kick and snare! Viola! Another old chestnut is to place the mic three or four feet out in front of the kit, somewhere just to the drummer's left of the kick drum, at about two or three feet in the air. It's a magic spot for large diaphragm condensers. I'd say our [Neumann] U 47 ends up there 65% of the time, whether it's a one mic drum sound or not; but when the drummer is really great and can balance himself in the room, it can certainly stand on its own. The final one I want to suggest is just a smashed distant mic pointed away from the kit. Sometimes directing a cardioid away from the kit, especially at a distance, seems to improve the balance. I'll often point one at the glass on the opposite side of our live room if I want something a little splashy, or up towards the soffit for more control. Shure SM82s do great in that role. They were originally designed as golf announcer mics, and have a built-in limiter. A RFT 7151 bottle mic is often killer for that job as well. Both of those mics are so hot, you don't even need a compressor to smash things up pretty well.
I'm a big fan of a mic just over the shell of the bass drum - often I prefer a dynamic - and I will sometimes hit it with distortion by overloading the preamp. A technique I nicked from Jonathan Pines is to use a single large diaphragm condenser at snare height about 3 or 4 feet from the drums off to the side, at about the drummer's 10 o'clock. I've set up that way as a close room mic, but have been able to turn it into a single drum set mic with just a touch of EQ and some compression.
I'm always experimenting with this sort of thing. I make it a habit to have at least one "experimental" mic set up while recording live drums. Lately, I've been placing a prototype Ear Trumpet U 87 clone behind the drummer's right shoulder and back about 4 feet. I aim the mic at the floor tom. I've been running it through an API style mic pre and I have been using an RNC compressor for its quick attack and release times, which I pay close attention to, while slamming it with a heavy dose of compression. The RNC can be really heavy-handed and my goal is to get it to pump and breathe as much as possible. I hope it sounds interesting on its own, but I find it's really useful to add this track into the drum mix for giant drum fills, drum intros at the top of a song, or drum breaks. It can be a great tool for adding a little something extra into the drum mix.
I am a huge fan of the "heart mic" on a drum kit. I have used it, along with other mics, on many records I have made in the last 10 years. I wind up with a small diaphragm omni of some sort, just past the shell of the kick drum, aiming at the beater, centered above the beater, at snare height. I have been using a very inexpensive, great mic by 12 Gauge Microphones lately, with a Neve 33114 preamp into a 33609 compressor. I have tried a bunch of mics in that position, including everything from [Neumann] U 47/67/87 and then moved towards the Earthworks omni type thing.
Why is this unusual? Is it because we're used to a dozen mics on the kit? Blake's technique makes sense to me because: a) No phase issues with the drums (a biggie!!), b) The large diaphragm can best capture the low end of the kick drum, which is under it, and c) Large diaphragm condensers usually have a wide cardioid pickup, pulling in the snare/hat/rack combo, and d) If explained to the group before recording, it can save a lot of mixing time. My favorite is this same position, but with a bi-directional ribbon (Beyerdynamic M 130), which will grab the floor tom too. Even though the kick is seemingly in the null, the fact that both sides pick it up makes it come thorough nicely, and ribbons love low end. Preamp? Something beefy, no top-end hype (the distance from the drums will take care of that). Compression? Careful - your release may cut into another strike soon following. EQ? Why, if you've gone this far? Crucial point: The overall sound of the drum kit has to be excellent! Also, the room must sound good, since it will play a substantial role in this setup. But - I must admit - I back this up by putting an accent mic on each drum, and I use far room mics too. After all, gotta use all these darn mics I bought! And I check the phase very carefully!
I've used this technique a fair amount. Above the kick drum is, indeed, an excellent spot for getting a good balance of the entire kit. I'll often have a mic there, even with other close mics on the kit, as it's easy to do effect processing (extreme compression, distortion, etc.) across the entire kit by processing the one mic. I like a "dumb" cardioid dynamic, like a Sennheiser 421 or 441, or a Shure SM77, if I'm likely to be using the mic for processing (in addition to the normally placed close mics). I also like either a cardioid or omni small diaphragm condenser if there's the possibility that I might use that one single mic for the entire drum sound. These days I like an Oktava MC-012 for that, but I've had varying degrees of luck with a Neumann KM 84, Audio- Technica AT4051, and AKG C451. Generally I like directional mics, as the proximity effect helps to add beef to the drum sound. I've also had good luck with a single mic in front of the kit, somewhere around the area you described for the B&K mic; but I prefer a hefty-sounding mic, like the Coles 4038, for that.
If you imagine a four-piece drum set with one rack tom on the right side of the kick and a ride cymbal overhanging the kick drum from the left (a very common set-up for drummers over the past decade or two), I really like putting our Coles 4038 about 3 feet up over the ride bell, looking at the center of the snare. Balance the volume of the rack tom and floor tom so they're even in level by shifting away from the louder of the two. It's a great, solid, mid-channel image on the drums, and it combines very well with stereo overhead condensers, the way we normally do it. We have a ton of images that show it at our site below in the Shaking Through project [Tape Op #92]. (Ask me about stereo room mics too... even cooler!)
John Baccigaluppi's "Give Me a Hammer" in Tape Op #102 - a plea for simpler, stable recording software and the fact that the learning curves and installations have grown tedious - really resonated with me. In 2012 I essentially took my recording PC "off the grid" while I was working on digitized 1980's multitracks for the CD of my band, Informed Sources. At that time it dawned on me that the interfaces I had available, the recording applications installed, the plug-ins on hand, the loop generation software in place, the resolutions I could utilize, the number of tracks available to me, the stability of my operating system - it was all exactly what I needed and it was all working seamlessly. Perhaps most importantly, I knew the entire environment. I had to ask myself, "Can you envision needing more than what you have?" Granted, my recording is limited to my own work, in various genres, but the answer was, "No." Since then my recording PC system has remained static, with few minor exceptions. I know, at some point in the future, I may need to reconfigure or even start over on a new machine; but for now I focus on getting better with recording techniques - many learned thanks to Tape Op! - rather than digging through yet another manual, installing new releases, or worrying about missing out on some new digital development. Thanks for all the thought-provoking articles like this one.
The End Rant in issue #102 about wanting stable solid tools really struck a nerve. I'm an acoustic musician who tends to treat a DAW like a tape machine, and I use minimal effects during mixing as well. I also grew up in wood shops, and doing work as a blacksmith during my teenage years. I know very well what a good hammer can do and how that single tool decides the shape and outcome of every product I turn out. Which was why I chose one that had the weight and balance I needed for the type of work I did. Bringing my note back to studio work, I've had a hard time finding a digital audio home for years now. It felt like I would find something perfect, only to have development get dropped during a buyout phase by the suits. Right now I keep a fairly old iMac running Propellerhead Record 1.5, and though it doesn't support plug-ins, I haven't found a sound I cannot create with it. The problem is all the features got rolled into Reason, and now my DAW of choice is no longer made. Give me a hammer is right; I don't think I'll be doing MIDI-based quantized beats anytime soon. Until things really break I will be running the same rig for as long as possible. Then I'm thinking [of going] open source for the next go around in the land of upgrades. For some reason the last time I took on an "upgrade," the amount of tracks my machine could handle was cut in half. So, if you'll excuse me, I'll be "pounding out" another song.
Software is getting better. Designing software is maturing as an art. Asking what users want is getting easier. It's nothing nowadays to mock up a design and understand how usable it is. The process of prototyping DSP is becoming quicker. It's simpler to manage the quality of code and prevent adding defects when making improvements. It takes less time to respond to support issues and provide the best possible quality of service. Software developers are taking smaller bites. Instead of taking on improvements that are a year or more in scope and packing them into some monster version release, the trend is to take on tinier, more focused iterations. In making small, continual work, we act more as gardeners than shipbuilders. We maintain the quality of software so it stays reliable. We do this with strong cultures of dedication to craft. We develop good practices, and continually re-evaluate them. This idea of software as an ongoing relationship between developer and user is starting to make its way into the professional audio industry. Moving forward, the most successful pro audio software companies will be the ones that go out of their way to understand their users, make swift and skillful design decisions, and have a robust foundation of quality code. There is no room in the future for companies that can't do that. All software is moving this way. Because of this, professionals and hobbyists will benefit from having high-quality tools at their disposal, despite the continual turmoil of OS updates and CPU architecture changes. The not-very-distant-future is going to rock!
In agreement with the bulk of your readers, I LOVE TAPE OP. John Baccigaluppi absolutely, positively, definitively hit the hammer on the head in redressing the DAW upgrade situation [#102], just a part of the entire computer software upgrade nightmare. Not everyone can absorb all the changes, or afford to continue their recording education to the extent that the developers assume, making hardware and software upgrades anywhere from annoying to prohibitive. If only they thought two words - user friendly. The beauty of home studios is that it brought the ability to make great recordings back to creative people, not just engineers. I'm one of the ones with a rough background of no formal training who has recently made the switch from PC to Mac, including my first DAW upgrade in seven years. The old setup served my purposes well, but more recent software went beyond my hardware capabilities from the olden days. Lack of support for those of us who can't move at the speed of technology feels very condescending, even though our work is valid and creative. Just like the Apples and PCs of the world, we have no choice but to change or get out. It's a big FU to all of us little guys. I refuse to apologize for my limitations. If the developers had half a brain, they'd include us in consulting about their "improvements." We're very lucky that some of us have the most important possible tools for doing what we do... ears and hearts.
Neat little paragraph at the top of Tape Op #102 about home recording (Les Paul, Emitt Rhodes), but don't forget about one of the greatest - Rudy Van Gelder! He engineered some of the most amazing and important jazz recordings in history, right from his parents' living room. It's ultimately more about the ear than the gear. Thanks for the great magazine!
Although I enjoy every issue of Tape Op when I receive them, I have to say that issue #103 has been my favorite yet. The articles/interviews on Bill Szymczyk, Richard Kaplan/Indigo Ranch and Giles Martin were great - the great music I grew up with!
Keep up the good work!
How ballsy to send an email to the guy in charge of a magazine you really love. Here he sits, under a mountain of unread emails, begging for someone to send just one more; the last digital straw to break an editor's back. Wait no more, Larry. Here I am. The last page of your magazine [#103] included a "recording game" Monopoly board. The first roll lands us on "email us", and here we go. Loved the, "Is the band breaking up?" square. Thank you for your time; thank you for your magazine. It is filled with hope for the up and comers and an encouragement for any jaded guys to try something new.
I love how you are working to keep Tape Op accessible to your subscribers. I just downloaded the digital copy of #103, and I'll be putting in several hours reading it on my computer. I look forward to every issue because it keeps me inspired to work on music and recording. Thank you Larry, John, and all of you on staff there!
