Working with U.S. military veterans is where Paradox began. Paradox Veterans is a series of backpacking, mountaineering, river rafting, and rock climbing trips specifically designed to empower injured veterans as they reintegrate back into civilian life. Our first veterans-specific ascent took place on September 11, 2012 when we summited the Grand Teton with a team of injured veterans. In 2013, we expanded our veterans trips to include Mt. Rainier and Yosemite National Park. In 2014 and 2015 we have expanded the program again to include 5 adaptive outdoor experiences. For our adaptive veteran specific programming, Paradox Sports focuses on military members who have a physical disability or injury.

1998 Toyota Tacoma Q&A
1998 Toyota Tacoma Question: clutch squeal
Truck is 4wd model. For the last 8 years the vehicle has been making an occasional squeal when engaging the clutch from a complete stop. Never hear it when shifting while moving. Sounds like a dry bearing. This happens more often when going uphill. Had a co-worker with same truck and he said something about having his transmission split from engine and something retighten/retorqued. Also this problem does not seem to occur when vehicle is in 4wd, and happens more often the colder the temperature. - sehoutz
Answer 1
I have come across a similar problem usually starting off from dead cold in the morning, possibly intermittent. The pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft that the input shaft of the transmission goes through goes bad. The bearing is about an inch in diameter. - patrick mannion

Mercer County, Kentucky Student Stuffed In A Bag By School Officials
Chris Baker, age 9, is autistic. On December 14, 2011, Mercer County School Officials stuffed Chris into a bag after he was described as "acting up." When Chris' mother, Sandra Baker, arrived Mercer County Intermediate School she found her son stuffed into a bag designed to hold athletic balls, with the bag's opening tied shut. The school had left the boy in the bag in a hallway with a teacher's aide sitting next to the bag. It has been reported that school officials have called this event a form of therapy for the boy.
This is shocking that a school would tie up and confine a child in this manner. From a legal prospective, the Baker family should seek legal assistance to pursue legal claims against the school officials responsible for this tragic form of child abuse. Actions like this must not go unchecked, and the Baker family would not only be doing a serve for Chris to pursue with legal action, but would also be doing a service for their entire community to ensure tat this sort of event is never again allowed to reoccur.
State education officials are investigating these matters. Chris and his family are entitled to seek legal damages from this tragic event.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Japan's Marubeni Corp. and Deutsche Bank's RREEF Infrastructure unit have teamed up to bid for APA Group's Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline System, which is worth up to 500 million Australian dollars (US$520 million), a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
Final bids are due in early April for the pipeline, which transports natural gas from the remote Cooper Basin to the South Australian capital of Adelaide, the person said.
UBS analysts have valued the pipeline system at up to A$500 million, while RBC Capital Markets analyst Paul Johnston puts a price tag closer to A$400 million on the asset.
Spark Infrastructure Group Ltd. has played down its interest in the 500 million Australian dollar (US$520 million) Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline System, or MAPS.
To satisfy competition regulators, Australia's largest natural gas infrastructure company APA Group will sell the asset if it completes a A$1.4 billion takeover of fellow pipeline owner Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund.
Though Spark's Managing Director Rick Francis acknowledged MAPS fits the group's investable universe — which includes water, electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution businesses in OECD countries– he said focus was elsewhere.
"MAPS is single point-to-point in a much bigger grid with contractual arrangements that perhaps don't have the longevity that our existing securityholders would like so that moves it down the priority chart," Mr. Francis said in an interview at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Australian Investment Conference in New York.
"Our current filter is towards Australian regulated assets from which we can obtain appropriate synergies that complement our existing businesses," he added.
Australia's antitrust regulator has chucked another spanner in the works of APA Group's proposed acquisition of fellow pipeline owner Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund. Its voicing of early concerns about the deal come despite APA's offer to divest its holding in another asset to reduce its market dominance.
APA, which already owns 20.7% of Hastings Diversified, has offered cash and shares in a bid that values the company at A$2.16 a share, or $1.15 billion Australian dollars (US$1.19 billion) based on APA's closing price Friday of A$5.10.
Following Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund's rejection of APA Group's offer Friday, UBS lifted its 12-month price target on the stock to A$2.40/share. That's almost 20% higher than its currently traded price of A$2.01/share.
"Notwithstanding ACCC's findings due by mid-February, a higher offer from APA with fewer conditions may be required for the deal to progress, in our view," said UBS analyst Han Xu in a note that reiterated his Buy call.
By flipping its Queensland gas pipelines into a new unlisted fund, APA Group has cleverly come up with A$477 million to make a bid for Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund.
But the long-anticipated deal faces a number of hurdles and Australia's biggest gas pipeline company could have to stump up more cash to woo the target's shareholders. If completed, the transaction will consolidate APA's dominance of Australia's gas transmission networks by adding the large Adelaide-to-Moomba complex and important pipelines in the mining states of Queensland and Western Australia, so the competition regulator is sure to take a good look.

What began as a workingman's holiday is now synonymous with summer's last hurrah. Labor Day — recognized in the USA and Canada — is one of the rare occasions when it's socially acceptable to look forward to a Monday and start celebrating on the Friday before. Temperatures are dipping and school is starting, but with the finality of the season front-of-mind, the beach beckons even more than it did on Memorial Day. Here are a few shorelines you'll want to share with friends and family before fall sinks in.
Ogunquit Beach, Maine
In the tiny town of Ogunquit — meaning "beautiful place by the sea" — Labor Day marks the beginning of Capriccio, a two-week long festival of the arts. Special exhibitions and performances celebrate dancing, fine arts, music, poetry and theater. One of the most colorful events is the kite fair where kids can decorate and fly their own kites or swim below a show put on by professional kite flyers.
Victoria Inner Harbour, Canada
It's certainly not Swan Lake, but Victoria Harbour's ferry ballet is a delightful dance experience in which the iconic boats put on a show. For more than two decades, "ballet captains" have choreographed routines and maneuvered their empty ferries in front of thousands of people visiting or working in the port. Free performances can be seen on Saturday and Sunday from the inner harbor, where the likes of Bach and Beethoven play over the loudspeakers.
Corcoran's Pond Beach, N.H.
The holiday weekend is all about waterfowl in Waterville Valley where the "Just Ducky" End of Summer Bash and Duck Race raise money for charity. All ages can buy duck numbers at businesses around town and cash prizes are awarded to the first rubber ducks that make it across Corcoran's Pond. Last year, the 500+ ducks received a little help from the local fire department's hose. The best viewing is at the beach and from the bridge in Town Square.
Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Mich.
If laying on the beach isn't your speed, rent an off-road vehicle and spend Labor Day riding on 2,000 acres of moving sand. The "living" dunes are the result of Lake Michigan's strong winds, and Silver Lake State Park is one of the most popular destinations on the lake's eastern shore. In addition to driving dune buggies, beachgoers can also visit Little Sable Point Light lighthouse and spend time searching for fulgurites — glass-like hollow tubes formed where lightning strikes sand.
Cannon Beach, Ore.
Since Oregon was the first state to establish a Labor Day holiday, it's fitting to pay a visit to the Beaver State's Cannon Beach. The four-mile long beach, which was explored by members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, borders the enchanting Ecola State Park. A highlight for hikers is trekking down to the beach to capture shots of the formidable sea stacks that rise up out of the ocean. The highest, Haystack Rock, is one of Oregon's most photographed sites.
Powerhouse Beach, Calif.
Popular with local surfers, this beach is also a hit with families who appreciate the accessibility factor and the tot-friendly playground. Labor Day weekend is an especially fun time to visit when less than a mile away the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Dog Nationals go down at Del Mar Race Track. Hundreds of dachshunds, and their owners, come out to watch the fastest and most elite wieners race for the title of top dog.
Palm Beach, Texas
Beer meets beach at the 5th Annual BrewMasters Beer Festival this Labor Day weekend. The three-day event, which takes place at several venues on the island of Galveston, features more than 400 craft brews. Activities for adults include tasting tours and food pairings, and for everyone, dancing at nearby Palm Beach where Bands on Sand features live music followed by fireworks over the bayou.
Myrtle Beach, S.C.
If you're looking for a lively crowd of carnivores, make a beeline for Myrtle Beach. The state's largest BBQ competition gets underway on Friday, August 29 when more than 50,000 people partake in the 9th Annual Beach, Boogie & BBQ Festival. Sample sauces, pick your protein and then dance to live music or play at the beach to work up another appetite. The two-day event is even more family-friendly this year with the addition of the Kids 'Q Competition.
London Bridge Beach, Ariz.
Stretching for 45 miles and meaning "blue water," Havasu is an impressive desert oasis. One of the lake's most family and fido-friendly beaches is London Bridge Beach near the iconic, and imported, London Bridge. The bridge, which once spanned the River Thames, is a major attraction but most of the action takes place at the beach where swimmers take advantage of picnic tables, barbecues, sand volleyball courts, playgrounds, a well-equipped dog park and a community stage.
PHOTOS: Best dog-friendly beaches
Gulfport Beach, Fla.
Labor Day weekend is prime people-watching time for beachgoers who find themselves in the artsy enclave of Gulfport on Tampa's Boca Ciega Bay. Aptly named for the area's unofficial mascot, Geckofest is a Mardi Gras-esque event with a family-friendly lineup featuring acrobats, costumed characters, fire dancers, musicians and street performers. Every form of eccentricity revolves around the reptile and a chosen theme. This year's theme, the Roaring Geckos, revisits the 1920s.
Million Dollar Beach, N.Y.
Beachgoers at Lake George's southernmost beach will have front-row seats to several exciting competitions that take place during Labor Day weekend. The Lake George Triathlon and the Kids' Splash-N-Dash take place on Saturday, followed by the Big George Half Ironman and the Big George Aqua Bike, which attract just as many spectators on Sunday.
Nevada Beach, Calif.
A decades-old rivalry returns with fervor to Lake Tahoe every Labor Day weekend. In a battle of the paddles, California's Tahoe Queen takes on Nevada's M.S. Dixie II in the annual Great Lake Tahoe Sternwheeler Race. For those that don't want to participate as passengers in the four-mile race, the next best place to catch the action is Nevada Beach near the start and finish lines.
Wellington Beach, Md.
Leave it to the self-proclaimed "Crab Capital of the World" to usher in Labor Day weekend with the coronation of Miss Crustacean. The fun continues with a parade, carnival rides, fireworks, live concerts, crab-picking contests and the highly entertaining National Hard Crab Derby Races. Local watermen bring in hundreds of Chesapeake Bay crabs and launch them on tracks where they demonstrate their speed and agility in front of thousands of spectators.

Texas reinstates Corey Knebel; Cameron Cox suspended Indefinitely
The Texas Longhorns suspended both Corey Knebel and Cameron Cox over the weekend for violation of team rules. As we all know, that is always code for a much deeper story but this one just goes above and beyond being a knucklehead.
According to an article written by Erick Smith of USA Today Sports, a Texas teammate asked Corey Knebel for his urine during a routine drug screening. Knebel gave his urine to the teammate who turned it over to Texas officials. But the problem came up when it tested positive for Adderall which is a banned substance by the NCAA that Knebel has a prescription for.

The present application claims the benefit of prior U.S. application Ser. No. 60/715,360, filed Sep. 8, 2005.
The present invention relates to an adjustable target mount. More specifically, the present invention relates to a target mount for use in a shooting range or similar facility.
Target mounts are commonly used in shooting ranges and similar facilities to hold or position bullet targets. While target mounts are available, they suffer from some limitations which make them more difficult to use. In mounting targets, it is sometimes necessary to utilize a target mount which not only attaches to the bottom of a target, but which supports the top of the target as well. Such mounts have arms which extend upwardly to secure the top of the target, and which are thus exposed to bullets. These arms are a nuisance when not in use as they may cause ricochets or may interfere with shooting at the targets which are in use and which are positioned adjacent one of these arms. It is not uncommon to have multiple different types of targets at a shooting range. These are often arranged in rows across the range. If a front row is not in use, the target mounts may partially obstruct another row further to the back. This is especially true if the targets in use are moving targets.
Additionally, it is often desirable to mount a number of targets at the same height at a shooting range. The shooting range floor, however, is often not at a consistent height, especially in outdoor shooting ranges. It is often difficult to adjust the height of available target mounts so as to provide a consistent mounting height for the bullet targets. In some cases, it is simply aesthetically pleasing to have a group of targets at a consistent height. It is also desirable to have some uniformity in target mounting heights. Some targets are mounted to a target actuator which rotates or otherwise moves the target. These targets are often ganged together so that a series of targets function together, typically operating from a common cable or rope. It this situation, it is important to have the targets mounted at a proper height so that the target actuators operate properly. However, it is not uncommon for the ground a shooting range to be uneven. It is thus further desirable to provide a target mount which is adjustable.
Additionally, it is often desirable to use targets of different sizes. If a small target is used, the top of the target may be well below the support arm which acts to hold up the top of the target. Thus, the attachment mechanism for attaching the support arm to the target may need to be replaced. It is thus desirable to provide a target mount which is easily adjusted to varying floor heights, and which is adjustable after installation to accommodate varying targets and target actuators. It is further desirable to provide a target mount which allows parts of the mount extending into the line of fire to be removed from the line of fire when not in use without requiring extensive disassembly of the mount.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved target mount.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a target mount having a movable support arm is provided. The support arm extends upwardly (or outwardly depending on the target's engagement with the mount) when in use to support a target. When not in use, the arm may be pivoted downwardly so as to not interfere with shooting at other targets, and so as to minimize damage to the arm. A target mount is also provided which may be formed with an attachment surface, used to attach targets or target actuators, which may be pivoted downwardly when not in use.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a target mount is provided which is easily adjusted during installation to accommodate varying shooting range conditions and mounting requirements. Standard brackets may be used in combination with steel struts which are easily cut to length during installation so as to provide a target mount which is easily adjusted to a desired height during installation.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a target mount is provided which is easily adjustable after installation to accommodate a variety of targets or target actuation mechanisms. A support arm and target mount are provided which are easily adjusted to accommodate targets of varying heights.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the support arm can be moved between any of a variety of positions to adjust for targets of different heights and widths.
These and other aspects of the present invention are realized in an Adjustable Target Mount as shown and described in the following figures and related description. It will be appreciated that all aspects of the invention need not be used together and should not be read into the appended claims.
Various embodiments of the present invention are shown and described in reference to the numbered drawings wherein:
It will be appreciated that the drawings are illustrative and not limiting of the scope of the invention which is defined by the appended claims. The various embodiments shown accomplish various aspects and objects of the invention.
The drawings will now be discussed in reference to the numerals provided therein so as to enable one skilled in the art to practice the present invention. The drawings and descriptions are exemplary of various aspects of the invention and are not intended to narrow the scope of the appended claims.
Turning to
According to one particular use of the target mount, a target actuator 18 is used which rotates a target 14 about a axis A-A. The target 14 is rotated by ninety degrees between a position wherein the target is presented to a shooter (i.e. perpendicular to the line of fire) and a position wherein the target 14 is not presented to a shooter (i.e. parallel with the line of fire). The base 12 has an upper bracket 22 which is attached to a post 26. The bracket 22 may typically be attached to the post 26 with fasteners 30, such as bolts or screws, or may be welded or otherwise attached to the post 26 if desired. The upper bracket 22 has an attachment member 34 whereby a target actuator 18 or target 14 may be attached to the upper bracket 22. The attachment member 34 may be a steel plate which is welded to the upper bracket 22, a clamp, or may be a surface formed integrally with bracket 22 and configured for attachment to a target 14 or target actuator 18. (While discussed herein with respect to an embodiment which rotates a target about a vertical axis, it will be appreciated that the base could be rotated to support the target for rotation about a horizontal axis, could be suspended to turn the target from the top, or any desired angle in between.)
A target support arm 38 is attached to the post 26 via an arm bracket 42, and is typically welded to the arm bracket 42. Preferably, the arm bracket 42 is attached to the post 26 with a hand knob or thumb screw 46 or other attachment means which is easily adjusted without requiring the use of tools. According to a currently preferred embodiment, the hand knob 46 has a threaded section such that the knob functions as a hand operable bolt. The support arm 38 is used to support the target 14, as many bullet targets are not of sufficient thickness to remain vertical without being held from the top of the target 14. Accordingly, one or more fastening devices 50, such as an elastic, spring, string, etc. may be used to attach the target 14 to the arm 38. As will be explained in additional detail below, the support arm 38 can be moved to change the position of the end which holds the target to either adjust for different height targets, or to move the support arm 38 out of the way when it is not needed.
A lower bracket 50 is attached to the post 26 and used to support the target mount 10, and has an attachment surface 54 by which the lower bracket may be attached to the ground or another surface. The lower bracket 50 is typically attached to the post with fasteners 58, such as bolts, but may be welded or otherwise attached if desired.
It will be appreciated that the post 26, which may be a conventional steel stud or other post, may be easily cut when installing the target mount 10. This allows an individual to customize the height of the target mount 10 as necessary for a particular installation. Because of the manner of attaching the various brackets to the post 26, it is typically not necessary to drill additional holes or otherwise modify the post 26 after cutting the post. After installation, a post 26 may be further cut to shorten the target mount 10. Additionally, a new section of post 26 may be easily used to replace an existing post, making the target mount taller or replacing a damaged post.
Turning now to
The attachment surface 54 may be a steel plate which is welded to the lower bracket 50. Alternatively, the attachment surface 54 may be formed integrally with the bracket 50, such as by cutting and bending the lower portion of the bracket 50 to form a flange. The attachment surface 54 may have holes 78 formed therein to facilitate attachment of the target mount 10 in a desired location, as may typically be accomplished by using bolts, nails, stakes, etc.

It will be appreciated that if the target adaptor 10 is placed on its side, the target 14 can be made to rotate about a horizontal axis with the support arm extending horizontally outwardly. Likewise, the target adaptor 10 can be suspended to cause the support arm to extend downwardly and outwardly from the base 12.

The present invention is thus advantageous as it provides a target mount wherein the height of the target mount is easily adjusted for varying installation requirements, and wherein the height may be easily adjusted after installation. Additionally, the present invention provides a target mount which allows an individual to adjust the mount to accommodate a variety of different targets or target actuators. The individual may also easily move the target mounting and support mechanism out of the line of fire so as to reduce damage to the target mount and to minimize interference with the use of other target. This may be done quickly, without requiring disassembly of the target mount, and typically without any tools.

As such, the target support arm 210 typically is formed with a flat attachment bracket 238 which is fastened to the post 218, typically by passing bolts 242 (which may be wing bolts or which may utilize wing nuts for convenience) through the bracket 238 and post 218. A backing plate 246 may be used to further secure the target support arm 210. The target support arm 210 typically is formed with a first section 250 which extends away from the base 214, a second section 254 which extends upwardly, and a third section 258 which extends back towards the base 214 so as to be above the target 226. The support arm 210 may thus form a C shape.
The target support arm 210 is adjustable as to height by attaching the target mounting arm to the post 218 at the various different holes 234, allowing the target support arm 210 to accommodate a variety of targets of differing height. The target mounting arm 210 may be removed from the base 214 when not needed.
The third section 258 of the target support arm 210 typically includes a stop structure, such as slot 262, formed therein to positively locate the line 266 or other support means which attaches the target 226 to the target support arm 210 and holds the target 226 in an upright position. The stop structure may also be a hole or notch formed in the arm or may be one or more tabs formed on the arm instead of slot 262. The stop structure is desirable as it prevents the line 266 from moving off of the end of the target support arm 210 and releasing the target 226 from the target support arm.
In constructing the target support arm 210, it is appreciated that the first section 250 and third section 258 need not extend exactly horizontally, and that the second section 254 need not extend exactly vertically. The first section 250 may extend upwardly so as to decrease the length of the second section and reduce the overall weight and amount of materials used. The third section 258 may also extend somewhat upwardly so as to provide clearance for the line 266 without greatly increasing the length of the second section 254. Additionally, the first section 250 and third section 258 may extend towards or away from the shooter or at an angle to the shooter rather than perpendicular to the shooter so as to control ricochets.
The bracket 238 and associated structures may be formed in many ways. The bracket may be formed with holes and be attached with bolts 242 to the steel plate 218. Alternatively, the bracket 238 may be formed with one or more posts which engage the holes 234 and one or more bolts 242 to hold the bracket securely to the steel plate 218. The bracket 238 may also be formed with bolts or studs which are permanently attached to the bracket and which pass through holes 234. The bracket 238 may also be formed with posts as discussed which engage the holes 234 and may have an arm which extends around to the opposing side of the steel plate 218 and a spring or other biasing means to hold the bracket against the steel plate and the posts in the holes to secure the support arm.
There is thus disclosed an improved adjustable target mount and target support arm.

Ballertainment We all know that former NBA All-Star turned NBA analyst Chris Webber has the face of a god, and that the TNT and NBA TV cameras love him and his Colgate smile, but now he will also lend his resources and talents behind the lens. Webber formed a production company, aptly named Webber Productions, with Peter Gabriel, the producer and documentary filmmaker behind Hoop Dreams, a critically acclaimed film which masterfully told the on and off-court stories of two Chicago high school basketball players. Webber Productions initial projects will include a documentary about Chris Webber's life, and a film about Earl Dickerson, the first African American to graduate from the University of Chicago's Law School.

thanks for the answer, Juan...Originally Posted by juan
well of course I expect to have different results in each prints, that's the fun of it... But changes in contrast can be annoying when prints get too flat. I don't have such feeling with cyanotypes - my cyanotypes give me quite constant results as long as I follow the same steps all the time. And it's the same with liquid emulsion or other things I do.
I got some Hake / Jiaban brushes from Silverprint. They do fine for other processes, including cyanotypes and liquid emulsion (maybe they tend to lose some hair every now and then but they're not that bad). And I also have some coating rods that seldomly use. I like to see brush strokes (just a little bit of course!) in my prints, especially at the borders.
Anyway, I was just a little bit frustrated for the insuccess. Complaining with the gods of photography doesn't help to much :-) so I think it will be better for me to try this floating thing also with the sensitizer. That will eliminate a lot of possible mistakes and if still something won't work then must be something else...

Pro Tools 8 Essential Training unveils the inner workings of the industry-standard software for music and post-production. Musician, producer, and educator David Franz demonstrates all the concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in Pro Tools 8. He teaches how to create music with virtual instruments and plug-ins, edit with elastic audio for time and pitch manipulation, create a musical score, and mix with effects loops. This course can help any music producer, sound engineer, or hobbyist become proficient in Pro Tools 8. Exercise files accompany the course.
Knowing how to set up an Effects Loop is a key mixing technique. Often used for adding reverb or delay to a mix, an Effects Loop enables multiple tracks to access one Effects processor or plug-in. This saves a lot of computer processing power, gives you a lot of control over the mix and can also help to unify the overall sound of a mix. Let's talk about the components used in an Effects Loop. First, we have the Send, and the Sends are listed right here in the Sends area of the Mix window or the Edit window but we are going to look at the Mix window. You might ask how did I set up this window so that I can see just this individual Send on this track.
Well, go into View > Mix Window Views > Sends A-E and then to show the individual send on the track, I went to view Sends A-E and chose Send A. A Send makes a copy of a track and route it to an output or a Bus. So whatever is on this track, this is the Acoustic Guitar 2 track. The Send makes a copy of that Acoustic Guitar 2 track and route it either to an interface, maybe an analog output or a digital output or to an internal Bus within Pro Tools.
Now Bus carries that signal somewhere usually to another track and I'd like to think of a Bus that's kind of like a pipeline. Finally, a return receives that signal from the Bus, affects it and then routes that signal somewhere usually to the main outputs. And in this case, our return is going to be this Auxiliary track so it receives the Bus 1-2 signal here at the input and then puts it out to the Analog 1-2, which is the main output.
So let me back up and explain this whole process here of how to set up an Effects Loop. First, what you do is you assign a Send on the track. So in this case we assign the Bus 1-2 and that's going to be our pipeline to send the copy of this track to somewhere else. Then we go over to the return, which is this Auxiliary track, and for the input of this track we choose that same Bus, Bus 1 and 2, so that this track is receiving what this is sending. Then we can put our effect on this track so we put an insert and in this case, I'm using a D-verb Reverb plug-in.
So now the copy of this Acoustic Guitar track is being routed here. It's being affected by this D-verb plug-in and then it's being routed to the main output of the session. With this setup, the individual Send Faders, right here control the amount of signal that's sent from each track to the Reverb plug-in on the Aux track over here. So you will see that both of these Acoustic Guitar tracks are routed to this Auxiliary track with the D-verb plug-in. We can control how much of the level from each track is sent to the Reverb plug-in using the Send control right here. The Aux Fader control, right here, controls how much of the reverb effect on those tracks is actually added to or returned to the overall mix.
And the whole idea of an Effects Loop is to have both an affected or a wet signal, and an unaffected or dry copy of each track going to the main outputs, so that you can control the level of both the wet and the dry signals separately in the mix. So you'll see on these two tracks we have the dry tracks being routed out here to the main outputs. And then we also have the copies of them being sent here where they are affected by the reverb. And we can control the Reverb amount here on the Auxiliary track.
One other thing here I want to mention is that I have made this Auxiliary track Solo safe. So it will always be active even if I Solo other tracks in the session, and the way to do that is to press Command on a Mac or Ctrl on Windows and Click the Solo button and you can toggle it between being non-solo safe and solo safe. And when it's kind of ghosted like this that means its solo safe. So let me show you what this means. We are going to go over and actually Solo these Acoustic Guitar tracks and because this is solo safe, we can still hear the effect coming through this track. So I'm going to play this and you can listen to the effect and how these controls, the Send controls and the Auxiliary controls, affect the overall mix of the dry and wet signals. (Music playing.) Effects Loop can be either Pre fader or Post fader. By default any new Send you assign in a session is set to Post fader. However, you can change that by clicking the Pre or the little P button here. Allow me to explain. The signal routed through a Send can either be affected by the volume on the tracks volume fader down here which makes it Post fader or you can decide to make it Pre fader and then the volume fader will not affect how much is sent out here.
Let me dig a little deeper, Pre fader sends routed signal on a track through the Send before the signal is effected by the Volume fader, the Solo, ad the Mute buttons. Whereas signals that are routed Post fader are affected by the Volume fader, Solo and Mute buttons. So why would you want to make a Send either Pre fader or Post fader? Post fader sends are the default because in most instances you want the levels of the unaffected dry and the affected wet signals to be controlled at the same time. In our example session here, if I mute the guitar track, the dry guitar track will be muted and the reverb signal will be muted as well. That way you won't get a ghost in the machine, a wet track without its dry counterpart and let's have a listen. (Music playing.) Now you did hear the reverb tail but you didn't hear the reverb effect going on while these tracks were muted. In contrast Pre fader Sends are perfect for when you actually do one that ghost in the machine or put it in another way, when you want the original track and the sent copy to be relatively independent of each other. For example, in our session here I'm going to create an effect where the drums slowly disappear into a reverb background. So I'm going to hit the Pre button and then press Play and check out the effect that we get. (Music playing.) With the Pre fader Send, as you pull down the fader on the drum track, the reverb drum signals stays the same level. As the dry track fades away, you're left with only the reverb or the wet version that you can then start fading out or in this case boosting to create whatever effect that you want.
One thing you should note is that all inserts that is plug-ins or I/O choices here affect both Pre fader and the Post fader sent signals. In other words, any effect that you add to a track as an insert will be on the track when it's routed through a Send as well. I found that using Effects Loops for Reverb and Delay effects actually sound better than using Reverb and Delay plug-ins on individual tracks. The setup shown here tends to make the mixes less muddy and have more impact. I'm sure once you learn to create them and understand the signal routing involved, Effects Loops will become an integral part of your own personal mixing technique.

View full campaign details Safer World Fund 2014
The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) and Creating Hope International (CHI) would like to wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons. As you celebrate with those you love, please take a moment to look at CHI's yearly newsletter, which we've attached to this report. As you will see, 2012 has been a transformative year for AIL and CHI. After years of working tirelessly to provide education, training and healthcare to Afghans, we are beginning to see a real change. The minds of those AIL works with are being opened to the possibility of a peaceful Afghan society.
AIL is in the process of finalizing a 5 year funding plan, which will be put into place beginning in 2013. We are looking forward to sharing the details of this plan with you soon, and hope that you will find it in your heart to give generously to help us reach our goal. The people of Afghanistan are making great strides, but our work is not done yet. Instead of backing down, we need to push ahead and continue to give Afghans the tools they need to create a more peaceful country. We are hoping that we can count on you to help continue our work.
The women are beginning to see that through education they can have a better life, and are insisting on educating their children. They are taking charge of their health, and we are seeing more and more women requesting workshops on pre-natal issues as well as reproductive health. AIL is encouraged to see so many Afghan women looking forward to a brighter future and is planning to be there to help the women lead the way to the Afghanistan of their dreams.
Finally, we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that donations up to $2,000 are being matched at 50% by the Safer World Matching Fund, while funds last. Take this opportunity to make your donation go further this holiday season.
Thank you for all you have contributed towards AIL's goal of educating the women and children of Afghanistan. While the conditions in Afghanistan are still challenging, AIL is seeing positive changes in the lives of those Afghans that it works with.
Recently the Executive Director of AIL, Dr. Sakena Yacoobi was interviewed and had the following to say about education as a path to peace:
" I really believe it strongly that education is the key issue, that it will bring peace to Afghanistan, because when people are ignorance, they are fighting, they want to really fight with weapon, and for 30 years we didn't accomplish anything. And day-by-day violence is getting worse and worse. Society ideally believes that we are all human and we are equal, and you look to others as equal and really try to watch for humans rights, women's rights... the right of every individual to have the dignity, to have respect, and when we abuse and don't look for gender equality we discourage people from their right, we discourage people from their value and their ethics, they feel low. And that is not the way to you look to for other human being. Again you go back again to education. The more education people have, the better they could understand that they don't do something to others that they don't want to be done to them." " It's a right of every child to be educated and from the time of Taliban, many, many children have not been in a school and today we have girls that like 15, 20 years old, they don't know how to read and write, even boys, the same thing. So what we are trying to do, we are trying to constantly work in education because if we accomplish education, that all over Afghanistan education is spread, then I think that our problem and war problem will be solved also because then people have a better understanding about equality, about justice, about right, and they are not going to abuse that." Through August 2012, AIL has taught 7,209 women in it's Centers and Schools in Kabul and Herat Afghanistan, and Peshawar, Pakistan. For many of these women and girls, AIL's classes are the only chance at obtaining an education. Don't forget! The holidays are a great time to share your passion for AIL and the great work that they do! GlobalGiving offers gift certificates which can be used to donate to AIL's projects. Also, beginning December 1st, the initial donation made by recurring donors will be matched 100% by GlobalGiving. There is only $25,000 available in matching funds, so help AIL take advantage of this opportunity early!
We would like to share with you the story of Farzana, a 28-year-old mother of four studying sewing and literacy in one of our centers. Farzana says, "Three months ago, I was having some family problems and I came to the AIL center for help. The manager and one of the teachers helped to mediate a solution between my husband and I. Now I am a student in sewing and literacy, and I find my lessons very interesting. Also, my daughters have begun to take classes in literacy. At first, I was shy since so many of my classmates were younger than I am. Now, I am confident around them and am so interested in my lessons. I can read and write easy words, and I have learned to sew well. My sewing teacher is very encouraging, telling me that the samples I have sewn are very good, and that I will be a good tailor in the future. My life changed a great deal when I began coming to the AIL center in my village. I now have learned many different things and feel that I will have a good life."
This project has been so very successful thanks to all of you! Since this project was initiated in 2005, and because the project is on-going, periodically, we have had to periodically adjust our budget and, as you have likely noticed, have done so again. The Afghan Institute of Learning receives many grants toward its Fast-Tracking Educational Programs. Overall, each year, AIL now spends approximately $400,000.00 on these programs alone. The portion that we seek through Global Giving is an amount equal to our expected shortfall for each calendar year. We expect that amount to be approximately $50,000.00 over the next 12 months and for that reason, have again raised the amount we are requesting from donors to our project. We invite you to look at our overall budget for this program since 2005 and our budget for the next 12 months.
We recently received a sampling study from the AIL Office in Herat, which shows how well the Learning Center fast-tracking model is working. 26 literacy students from second through sixth levels at the Darb-e-Iraq Learning Center were given a test at the local public schools to evaluate what grade they would be placed in at the public school. Each and every student tested out higher than the current grade they were studying in.
This program is working!!!
Please remember that Wednesday, June 13th (beginning at 12:01 AM EST) is a Bonus Day through Global Giving. Donations received that day will be provided a matching gift of 30, 40 or 50 percent.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

How can I afford to stay home with my baby?
I want to be a stay-at-home mom more than anything in the world. Even though I know I have to work for financial reasons, I can't help wishing my life were different, being depressed, crying all the time, being jealous of my friends who stay home, and fighting with my husband every day about not wanting to leave our 8-month-old. This is ruining our marriage, but I don't know how to just accept it. Please help!

You can type for companies online which is what I do and I recently took up a venture with Scentsy (https://leyla.scentsy.co.uk) and that provides me a little income every month. I would research, research, researchh because there's always something you can do. There are employment agencies dedicated especially for mums. Best of luckposted 08/25/2011 by leylap
I am in your position right now - I work a full time job and thought I would want to after DS was born, but now I just miss him SO BAD all day long!! So in February, I started trying to find different ways to make money online so that I could earn a full-time income and be a SAHM. I probably have tried every single "free-legit" work-from-home job out there and never made even a single dollar. Finally, a few months ago, I gave in and bought a membership to the Global Success Club (that I was sure was a scam) and about 2 weeks ago, I made my first sale and now the money is just rolling in!! I want to share my experience with this community because I know there are tons of other moms out there like me looking for an opportunity and Ive found the one thing online that actually makes decent money. Now, Im really close to my goal of replacing my income and hope you all will do the same!! Here's where I go: http://www.bestsimpleincome.composted 08/24/2011 by toothpaste4cat

Hey. I thought I would let you know about this job I've just started because I think it is perfect for mums. I've just joined as a Scentsy Independent Consultant and the products are awesome! I just bought a starter kit which contains loads of stuff to start my business straight away and I sell these amazing candles, which look so good! They are scented wickless candles, heated in decorative warmers (25 to choose from) where wax is melted by the heat of a low-watt bulb, and infused with beautiful fragrances (over 50 different scents). No flame, soot or wick. Come join my team so we can make money together! :) I've been looking for a job that I can work from home and stay with my 7 month old, Aron, so I'm really happy I found something. If you want me to send you more information, just let me know gals. I'll attach my signature, just scroll to the bottom. Kind regards Leyla Preston leyla.scentsy.co.ukposted 07/20/2011 by leylap
I've got three things that make it all worth it financially: breastfeed, of course. Cloth diapers. You'll be home anyway, you throw them in the wash, they're clean, and you can even buy the nice ones and still save money because it is a one time expense of about $200. If you cannot afford all of that at once, buy them one at a time until you've decided you have enough. I made my own, and we started with just 7 and worked our way up. Last thing: cook. Even if you don't want to. You'll get good at it really fast even if you're really not good at that sort of thing. The more things you make from scratch, the most snacks you bake, etc, the better. Don't buy mixes for things because their usually full of really cheap ingredients, just cook. I have enough money for groceries, dog food, household goods like toilet paper, etc, on $300/month. I am definitely saving money staying home!posted 07/20/2011 by peachesareforsissies

Homer was a legendary ancient Greek poet who wrote the epics, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey". These epics were a part of Western canon of literature and greatly influenced the history of literature. The actual time and location of his living is still controversial. The ancient Greek historian, Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before him, which was around 850 BC, whereas the other ancient sources placed him around Trojan War in 12th century BC. But the modern scholars determine his time of living by referring the period in which the epics were written. They state that the two epics were created around 8th century BC and that the "Iliad" was written few decades before the "Odyssey". Some later scholars estimated the date of creation of epics around 7th-century. Few scholars even say that the Homeric poems gradually developed and became fixed texts only in 6th century. Scholars like Martin West, states that "Homer" is "not the name of a historical poet, but a fictitious or constructed name." The Homeric epics were widely credited for influencing the Greek culture and Homer was considered the teacher of Greece.

Jeanie Buss would not try to stop Jackson from leaving
Jun 1, 2010, 2:47 PM EDT
One factor that makes any rumor of Phil Jackson potentially leaving the Lakers next season more interesting is Jackson's relationship with long-time girlfriend Jeanie Buss, the Executive Vice President of the Lakers and the daughter of legendary Lakers owner Jerry Buss. According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, Jackson's relationship with Buss was the reason that he did not accept the Knicks' offer to coach the team in 2005.
"I don't know how things will work out," Buss wrote. "I am hoping the Lakers win and everything stays status quo, but the one thing I do know is that I am not going to stand in Phil's way if he wants to go to another team…I don't control him — if I did I would have a ring on my finger, but I am not going to threaten to break up with him if he takes another job.Our relationship is solid no matter where he works. There are plenty examples of wives that don't move to the city their spouse is coaching. I hear [Celtics coach] Doc Rivers's family is still in Orlando. So that will not make a difference."
You have to love Phil Jackson. With the biggest free-agency summer in history looming and the finals days away, Phil has managed to drum up boatloads of interest in where he'll be coaching next season, just by saying he's only 90% sure that he wouldn't coach another team next year. It's good that Buss is confident enough in her relationship with Jackson to let him coach another team if he really wants to, but I can't help but feel it will end up being a moot point.
- soma - Jun 1, 2010 at 3:34 PM
I cannot see Phil leave lakers to coach anywhere else. He either retires or coach this team for couple more titles. It would be hard to leave after you win this year.
Phil is a very loyal person look at his staff and players. He stick with them through thick and thin. And Jeannie is such a sweet gal with great heart. Phil is too smart to leave the real trophy of his life.
- Oldtimer - Jun 1, 2010 at 4:26 PM
The Lakers should be held accountable if Phil leaves. What else does this guy have to do to get respect? He deserves to be paid like the athletes that work for him. Sorry Kobe, or Shaq fans, but they would probably be nothing without Mr. Jackson.
- hmmmm - Jun 1, 2010 at 4:29 PM
"It's good that Buss is confident enough in her relationship with Buss to let him coach another team if he really wants to, but I can't help but feel it will end up being a moot point."
So…. are you calling Jeanie Buss an asexual hermaphrodite, or am I just reading this wrong? Pretty sure that's slander.
- LakerFans 4 life - Jun 1, 2010 at 7:18 PM
The question is how much of a paycut would he take if he's real loyal? 1mil 2mil. If I was Jerry Buss, I would pay him @ least close to what he making now. Just to keep him happy.
- LakerFans 4 life - Jun 1, 2010 at 7:23 PM
Yeah I would agree that if phil leave so lakers leave too. Lakers need a very discipline coach to run this team. Maybe Kobe will have something to say about that too.

Life is so unpredictable, so live in the moment.
Hi there :) I never thought I would try this online dating thing, but I guess never say never? So I tried it and I'm actually liking it. I'm a simple down to earth lady and it doesn't take much to make me happy. In my line of work I have learned to be grateful for the small and big things in life like the gift of life itself, the ability to eat through my mouth, use my hands, walk on my two feet etc. I've learned how short and abrupt life can be, so try to live each day like it's your last and don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today because tomorrow might never come. My friends describe me as kind hearted, generous, loving, like to laugh a lot, caring and sometimes overly loyal, soft spoken and compassionate to others. I'm very laid back but I also know when to be serious and get stuff done. I started on a good career at young age and I'm grateful to God because I couldn't have it done without him. Enough about me. As for you: You are Spiritual, intelligent, hardworking, laid back, fun loving, funny, you have a good career going and have respect for women. Not too much to ask for right? If you read this far, something must have caught your interest for you read it to the end so why not shoot me an email? ;)

Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Comic book characters who are also in video games. There are tons of games with superheros such as Batman and Spider-Man out there.
Cooperative play in games allows humans to play together as a team to accomplish a task. Instead of playing against a human opponent, the team must defeat an AI.
The ultimate pressure feature. You have to complete the task at hand, be it finishing your opponent or cutting the right wire, in the allotted time depending on which game you're playing. So be quick or you lose.
Games involving characters that round up local hoodlums for the good of the community.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Someone who investigates unsolved crimes and other mysterious happenings, either for a living, as a hobby, or simply by chance.
Digitized sprites, popularized in the early 90s, were a form of graphics that used footage of real actors that were then made digital and put into the game.

Gadgets are given to someone to help them out in situations, or to just look cool.
Whenever there's a new Pixar, superhero or Harry Potter movie they have to make one of these.
Sometimes they make movies based on comic books...and sometimes they make video games based on those movies. These are them.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
These games are based off of an established license, such as a movie or comic. Examples are the James Bond and Spider-Man franchises.
Loading Screens are specific screens that are displayed while a game is loading resources so that the player has something to distract them while the game loads. Loading Screens can be images, text or even mini-games - and sometimes a combination of all three.
This concept is for games in which the main character is male.
From Beat-em-ups to fighting games to modern FPS, one dude hitting another has made an enjoyable pastime.
Two or more characters are featured on the game's box art.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
A pseudonym is a fictional name that is different from the owner's real or legal name. They can be pen names, secret identities, or even alternative names because their real name is unpronouncable or shouldn't be said.
Games that include real photography on the game's cover.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
A superhero is a fictional character of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest.
A person who goes outside of the law to punish those who have committed an act of injustice. Their methods usually cause them to be perceived as criminals.

Please help!!!! Screenshots really wouldn't be easy to take since it only happens while typing, so I won't include any.
This is a known bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710943 that appears to have been fixed in the source code, but you will have to wait for the next release or try using the development branch.
