Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
I am trying to figure out how to record it to the PC, I am using a MIDI-to-USB cable to connect it to the PC.
The programs I've used for a long time to record music at home is Audacity and Adobe Audition, unfortunately they do not support MIDI in any way shape or form.
The problem is that allt he other DAWs I've used are insanely difficult, impossible to understand and with a bazillion buttons and menus that make little to no sense.
Making the program understand that I want to do something as trivial as recording a MIDI-device with the TD4s own samples is as easy as understanding higher level quantum mechanics - and for someone like me who isn't a professional studio engineer all these DAWs I've used are entirely hopeless and impossible.
The ones I've tried installing the MIDI with are CuBase and Sonar, and neither of them I have been able to make find the correct setting so that the MIDI interface works.
I have spent hours looking at tutorials but none of them explain in any way shape or form in such a way that it is specific enough for my case. There is not a single step-by-step tutorial on the internet how to connect a Roland V-Drums to a PC and how to make the MIDI work with the DAW.
I am currently looking for a DAW that doesn't require a higher degree in sound engineering to use, one that doesn't have a bazillion buttons, one that is easy to learn, understand and use and mostly - one where finding such trivial options as setting up MIDI devices isn't impossible.
I've been using PCs for nearly 30 years - I am not computer illiterate but the way DAWs work - at least the 2 I've tried are impossible to understand and use.
Any suggestions to competent DAWs that make sense are appreciated.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
I've been trying to answer your questions on another thread but I think there are some crossed wires here.
You're not going to find any DAW easier than another. They're all slightly different but all roughly the same in terms of what is required to use them in terms of skill. Choose one and stick to it - it doesn't actually massively matter which, they all do the same things. You learn by doing. Try to do something, read the manual. I suggest starting at 'recording a single audio track/channel' from start to finish.
As for the MIDI question. You're confusing MIDI and audio.
MIDI is simply data. Numbers sent down the cables to the computer. Audio is actual sound in the form of analogue electronic current.
Your drum kit's module can produce either MIDI or Audio (or both, at the same time) as output. They are different things. MIDI is not sound. MIDI needs to be translated by software (or hardware) into sounds using the data as a basis.
If you are trying to simply record the sounds that your kit produces when you listen to it using headphones then you can actually completely ignore MIDI. You don't need to think about it, just know that your module is doing that part automatically. All you need to do is plug a pair of stereo cables into the left and right outputs of your module, then plug the other end of the cable into your computer's stereo input. You might need a converter cable to do this - two mono 1/4 jacks into a single 3.5 mm jack. If you don't know what these are, then you need to do some more reading.
At that point, create two mono tracks in your DAW, assign the channels to the stereo input and it's just a case of hitting 'record'. If you don't know how to do this, get your hands busy with the software and learn. I can't teach you how to use a DAW step-by-step here and I've been using DAW software since I was a teenager (over ten years).
Now. Here's why you don't have to worry about MIDI if you are recording this way.
Your drum module is doing all the complicated audio conversion for you. It just has a limited number of sounds.
Electric drum kits work like this:
Piezo (on the drum or cymbal) --> Electrical current --> Drum module --> MIDI --> Conversion into audio --> Audio --> Output
I've highlighted conversion because this is where your confusion is. Conversion can take place internally in the drum module (which is why you can just plug headphones in, hear something and play with the sounds) or you can take the MIDI data out before it's been converted and send it to a computer to do the conversion and the audio.
I hope this helps.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
Unfortunately, a capable DAW comes with a learning curve. I was using Cubase LE5 for a year or two before I got around to understanding the MIDI functions, and even then, I had to phone a friend to get the synths to take a signal from the MIDI interface. The only other DAWs I have experience with are Audacity and Ardour (which I'm just getting into, so I can't really say whether it's any good yet).
That said, I use the hell out of the Cubase MIDI functions now, and It's actually quite easy. I program my MIDI key editor to "play" my keyboard parts for me, and the synth's audio outs are pumped back into an audio track in Cubase for writing and recording. Real drumset parts are added last as the rest of the instrument parts are perfectly synced and quantized.
Here's what my signal path looks like:
DAW MIDI track(computer)------usb cable----->Tascam US-1641-----MIDI cable------>Synth-----1/4" audio cable---->US-1641----usb----->DAW audio track.
So far the only solution I know of is patience and perseverance with a DAW you already have some knowledge of.

Running a Debian distribution, Mikecore?
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
My 2-track/mastering computer is running Arch Linux with Audacity as the main recording tool. I put Ardour on there so I could familiarize myself with it and see what the freeware world has to offer versus Cubase or Pro Tools, etc...
The 16-track computer runs Windows 7 with the Cubase system that came with my Tascam. Thinking about moving up to Cubase 7 at some point, so at least one box will have to run Windows in some form.
The computer I'm typing on right now is a Windows XP box that I use mainly for internet stuff, and when XP finally crashes or catches a badass virus, I'll throw Arch on that one as well. With Openbox as a GUI it's a pretty good replacement for broken windows.

Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
I just remembered using Ardour back in 2006 when I ran Ubuntu for a while as my main system. It was quite useful then but it wasn't anywhere near as feature-complete as the Logic system I had a few months later on my first Mac. I run Macs exclusively now but dabble with Windows 7.
Every few months, I get bored and throw a box together out of old parts I have and try out all the latest Linux distributions. I've never tried Arch but I've tried a good number, next time I think I'll be fiddling with Gentoo if I ever get up to my old tricks.
I just saw you post 'Ardour' and it flashed a switch in my mind about a very fond period when I first used Ubuntu on an old MESH 1.48GHz machine that I had passed down. Very good times.

I will say though that the Reaper Wiki is very useful.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
I hate Logic's interface, haha. Reaper has the least amount of the following: price, compatibility headaches, load time, DRM and bullshit. Sign me up! I tracked my whole band at once on 12 channels at 96/24 by just hitting record. It might have a learning curve, but it's never crashed on me and everything is just right where you need it, and if it isn't you can theme it out however you want. I have no idea why Logic is more popular.
Not banned (yet)
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
I've had the opposite experience of Logic. It has always 'just worked' for me and I bought it with a student discount, so it only cost me £120. This was four years ago when Reaper was relatively new and I had been using Logic for several years (in fact, I'm versed in Logic 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 - version 5 being made in 2002 by eMagic before Apple bought the rights) so it was familiar. I meet people all the time that swear by Pro Tools and I've had a lot of experience there, too - I've just never really found it coherent with my workflow.
Logic is more popular because it's been around a lot longer and has the backing of Apple. Logic has been around in one form or another since the early 90s. In fact, its roots go back to before I was born in the Atari ST days. It now has seamless integration with Apple computers since the takeover in 2002. Honestly? Logic is a great platform. I still have a version on my 32-bit machine.
In terms of load time, Reaper is good. The lack of bundled LAME encoder is a little irritating (especially seeing as there's a bug on one of my systems) but it certainly was very well priced. It works with my hardware (which is a little esoteric) so I certainly have no complaints. It's just different. Reaper is a great DAW that I need to spend more time with to be efficient. I really like what the company are doing and recommend it if somebody doesn't have a DAW but the original poster already has a DAW and introducing new software (which is no easier to use - just different) is only going to be incredibly confusing.
The best course of action is to go and buy 'Modern Recording Techniques' (Huber & Runstein, Focal Press) and learn the principles. Once you're equipped with the basic principles of digital audio, everything makes sense. It's the reason I can look at a horrible Behringer digital desk with no discernible user interface and still work it well.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
Here is the problem.
All of the DAWs you have listed are very expensive - and there is no guarantee that they will work with the V-Drums.
I have as of now tried 3 different DAW and they outright refuse to work with the V-Drumkit.
Spending up to half a grand on a DAW when there is absolutely no guarantee that it will work with the drumkit sounds very stupid to me. Not to mention the commitment of astronomical size that follows when it comes to learning and understanding it.
I need a DAW that can either have a free demo version that I can try and see if it works or not with the unit I am using.
I have as of now tried 2 different version of CuBase (SX3 and v5) and that didn't work I think. I was able to get the program to register the hits but there was no sound coming out and even the VST I tried using where a complex mess to use - no online tutorials exist for mapping a V-Drum to a VST on the entire Internet.
I tried Sonar - I was unable to find the controls for assigning the drumkit to a MIDI track. Sonars GUI is an incomprehensible mess and I cannot be bothered with a DAW that literally requires a degree in musical engineering to grasp.
Next I tried Fruit Loops Studio 9. I have been unable to make the program connect with the drumkit. I can create MIDI tracks and assignt VSTs to said MIDI-tracks but it seems to be absolutely impossible to assign the V-Drums to a MIDI-track. It just will not happen.
I've done this on 3 different computers and the sound the drum makes when recording is absolutely terrible. The sound sounds extremely muffled and weird - it's as if I was running the entire drumkit through a wah-wah pedal. I also get weird Audio Feedback. I tried using both my stationary computers mic entrance as well as 2 laptops and the result is always the same - strange muffled next-to garbled distortion of the sound.
It's unexplainable. When I connect my headphones directly to the drumkit - it sounds perfect - if I connect that port to a computer microphone - it sounds like utter useless garbage.
Not to mention the massive latency issues I face with when connecting it to the microphone jack. I get immense lagspikes - even when using the desktop computer I have which is a very powerful PC.
The only way I have managed to record the drums to the PC is using a Guitar Effect pedal (A Zoom G2.1u)I have that has a USB interface. Problem is that there is no way to turn off the effects of the effect pedal so the drum sound comes out all messed up because of the guitar effect - it is just simply not designed to be used with anything else than a guitar.
If I knew that it would be this impossible to record the drumkit of a PC - I wouldn't have bothered buying a Roland V-Drumkit in the first place. I am starting to think that the out-ports on the V-Drumkit is utter useless garbage

Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
You're running your headphone out to a usb or built-in microphone? Are you setting the input level in your recording program?
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
My approach would be the TD-4's audio out directly into your computer's audio in. It sounds to me like the input sensitivity needs to be adjusted, if your computer allows you to do it. Barring that, I would get an intermediate audio interface, like an M-Audio Fast Track USB. Tons of versatility. Audacity is a great program for what you want to do and you're already familiar with it. This setup should do the trick for you.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
What does "input level" mean?
If you mean that I've been trying to lower the volume - then yes, I have done that and it solves nothing. The problem isn't related to volume - the problem is related to the fact that the drums sound very odd as if it ran through a wah-wah effect pedal. It sounds as if there is no bass, only very high frequencies and there's this weird reverb to it as well.
I thought it had to do with the ambience setting in the TD4 sound module which I turned off but I still encounter the same problem.
Like I said - I tried 3 different computers with 3 different configurations and the sound quality is just crap.
On the stationary PC I record with Adobe Audition, with the 2 laptops I tried with Audacity.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
On the upper right corner of Audacity, you'll see icons of a speaker and microphone, both with sliders.
When you play your drums, watch the level meters in the upper center of the screen, and adjust the input slider near the right side microphone icon. If set too low, you won't hear it, and if set too high, it'll distort.
About DAW's. I use mainly Cubase and like it. But all DAW's take a while to learn. I think it's worth the effort though,
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
In my extremely limited experience, Logic has been a fair bit more intuitive than Pro Tools.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
Reaper = 60 bux.
Re: Looking for a DAW that isn't impossible to use
Like I said earlier - the problem with the sound coming out of the drum kit isn't related to the volume levels.
I am not experiencing any sound distortion due to volume peaks. What I am hearing is as if the sound of the drumkit was coming from inside a metal can. The bass-drum can barely be heard and everything sounds; with lack of better words; puny and weak.
It sounds as if I was playing the drum kit out of a cheap radio from the 60's. All the bass levels have been severely muffled and all the high-frequency notes such as snare and cymbals sounds "screechy".
I have already CuBase installed and it's an enormous mess understanding what it is and what it does - even though I have 2 versions of it! I was given CuBase SX3 when I bought a studio card years ago, it came bundled with the package. CuBase 5 was something that came with a guitar effect pedal I bought long time ago. Both of them are immensely difficult to understand. Doing something as trivial as creating a new MIDI track and assigning it to the drum kit was something that took me hours to figure out and even then I am unable to record the track, make it respond to the V-Drum or assign VSTs or drummap the thing.
CuBase in unfortunately counter-intuitive in its design which is by far its biggest flaw. They are no easy ways of doing anything in it. I am currently looking into another DAW that was recommended to me. The fact that one has to install 5 different DAWs to make this thing work is absolutely ridiculous.
What REALLY boggles my mind is the fact that they are no tutorials what so ever; or even remotely related to HOW to connect a V-Drum (or any electronic drum kit) to the computer. If you google for V-Drum to PC you will even find my thread I started yesterday about the issue! It's absolutely absurd that with all the vast knowledge of Internet, known for it's endless depths of knowledge and stupidity there is not a single guide what explains HOW to connect the V-Drum to the computer.
Sure, they are guides that explain the larger concepts, what MIDI is and so on but there is not a single step-by-step guide that tells you exactly what to do in order to make it work. There is not a single guide that explain how VSTs are installed mapped and used for an external drumkit, not a single guide that explains step-by-step how to configure MIDI tracks to a V-Drum.
And yes - I have tried the manuals and they tell absolutely jack squat. Even the manual for the VSTs are entirely useless sinc ethey tell absolutely nothing how to use the VST or map it to an instrument. It's absurd.
If I ever (big if) manage to somehow under miraculous circumstances figure out how to do this I will make a tutorial myself since there is not a single one in existance.

Why I still warm to cats, despite the physical scars
Posted: December 08, 2012|
I HAVE two permanent scars on my body, both caused by the same cat, both caused on the same night.
The cat, a super-fluffy ginger thing called George, was only a couple of years old at the time.
My then-girlfriend had gone out for the night and my friend was staying over. There may have been some drinking, can't quite remember.
Anyway, we had some catnip in the cupboard and I left the door open and the cat got in and, well, these things write themselves.
An hour later and this ginger blur was tearing back and forth down the hallway, scrabbling up walls and appearing demonically between curtains, squeaking like a bag of mice in a tumble dryer.
This needed to stop because it was around 3am and the neighbours were an angry pair.
So I set a trap involving a cardboard box and some lace ribbon and bagged myself a cat. I thought a few hours outside might cool him off.
But in my arms he was a cement mixer, rolling and churning and desperate to get free. I tried to hold him and he snapped his head round, eyes wide, staring at me.
I made it to the front door when he lunged forward and sank his teeth into my lower lip. In pain, I dropped him, but he got a claw in my wrist on the way down, dragging a deep slice out of me. I'd never seen so much blood.
It was an uncharacteristic episode for the guy but I guess a pound of catnip will do that for you. Normally, he's the kind of cat you only see as a pair of gleaming green eyes, either under things or behind them. Most of the time he just vibrates with fear.
I can't take all the credit for this – perhaps we took him from his mum too early – but either way, he's the sort of pet where, if he ever ends up on your lap, you sit completely still, like you've taken on board a loaded bomb, rather than a small animal. If your chair even thinks about creaking, he's gone, just a small puff of ginger fur in the air.
Anyway, he's just one of a string of cats I have known. They have, not entirely by choice, been an ever-present in my life and there is a part of my grouchy, grumbly self which enjoys having them around.
Those times he was prepared to get within a mile of me I felt strangely affected, like we had something and for a moment he was trusting me. I like my scars because of this, even though the pillowcase had to be chucked the following morning.
I mention it because someone I know very well has just donated 30 cat toys to a charity. She made them herself from scraps of material; small packages of catnip, constructed on a sewing machine and tied with festive ribbon.
She did it because she loves cats and wants those without homes to have something they like at Christmas. This kind of selflessness amazes me and makes me want to be a slightly nicer person, which is fairly miraculous in itself.
Without wanting this to be a "think of the animals at Christmas", kind of column, or a "isn't charity nice?" type of thing, I thought rather I would share with you the way a pet can want you and love you and unjudgmentally be OK with you no matter what kind of day you've had.
People get lonely at Christmas and take a philosophical stock of things. Well, if you don't have a pet, think about it. Allergies aside, I think there's a pet for everyone, maybe.
Just lock the catnip up well.

People in the south are not accustomed to driving in severe winter weather. Therefore, authorities are advising that people do not drive tonight and Wednesday because of the expected snow and ice. If you must drive, however, here are some tips to keep safe:
Drive slower than usual, especially at intersections, bridges and other hazardous areas. In addition to slowing down allow at least three times more space between you and the car ahead. To avoid skidding, break gently.
Clear windows, headlights and taillights from ice and snow before driving, use your low headlight beams, and be sure your windshield wipers are in good condition. Be sure your vehicle's fuel tank is full to keep the fuel from freezing.

Cane Garden Bay (Tortola)
- Type: Beaches
- Time to Spend: 2 hours to Half Day
|Overall Rating:
|About these ratings
The center of activity in the BVI is on Tortola, and there, the center of activity is Cane Garden Bay. You'll spend the day at this northwestern beach enjoying the great food (be sure to order an actual "Cheeseburger in Paradise" from Stanley's), renting a day sail or snorkeling around the beach's western edge. At night, Cane Garden Bay doubles as a dance club, as live music wafts from area bars like Quito's Gazebo, Elm or Myett's.
Despite the constant activity, recent visitors claim Cane Garden Bay is a relaxing beach. Taking a cue from Jimmy Buffett (or maybe Stanley's), most TripAdvisor users describe the area as "paradise" or "heaven on earth." The cruise crowds normally waft in around noontime, but still Cane Garden is rarely overcrowded.
One user suggests, "Just relax and swim in the warm sea, sip tropical fruit cocktails and watch the sun go down. There is nothing better." Another user pens, "It was the best beach we went to all week in my opinion."
Cane Garden Bay is free at all times of day, any day of the week, with no admission fee.

What is the theme of the "The Scarlet Ibis?"
11 Answers | Add Yours
its definitely pride.
nothing more to it.
well ithink this is the answer for your qusetion .
A theme is a specific statment that branches off the subject and is supported through the story. In order to find one theme, I can ask myself what statement the story makes about selfishness. Based on the story, I can say that selfish people do not always pay for their selfishness, but others do. The narrator was not hurt (physically) because of his selfishness, but Doodle died because of it.
The theme of this sory is acceptence. The brother couldn't accept having a disables brother(Doodle).
The theme can be that sometimes pride can reason in life or death.
The theme is that the brother had too much pride in teaching Doodle to walk, run etc. and he couldn't just accept the fact that Doodle wasn't physically or mentally strong enough to do all that.
How about this-too much pride can make us treat those we love in cruel ways.
Brotherhood of man
if you ahve a bad bro, u keel him with a burd
It is that do not push yours or others lives beyond boundaries, if you succeed but die, all is empty and wasted.
Pride is a major theme in this story, "The Scarlet Ibis" because pride is linked with shame and embarrassment over his little brother Doodle, who has a disability. Pride is harmful. The narrator was so ashamed to have a brother like that, he even decides to kill the baby by smothering him with a pillow. He stop and sees Doodle smile and realizes that he is smart. The narrator is sometimes mean to Doodle. He showed Doodle the coffin threatening him to leave him there. Doodle begs his brother to never abandon him. The Brother was embarrassed that Doodle still couldn't walk so he sets out to teach him. On Doodle's 6th birthday, doodle surprises the family by walking. Brother decides to teach him to be athletic like him. Doddle shows signs of weaknesses. They find a scarlet ibis in their yard. Doodle is sad and he buries it. Later on the brother makes Doodle row the boat. Doodle is exhausted. A storm approaches and doodle and his brother run home. The brother runs ahead of him and when his anger calm, he runs back to find Doodle curled up. Doodle was bleeding from his mouth. The scarlet Ibis symbolizes him. The Brother is cruel, his pride took over him.
It is about loving people for who they are, not having too much pride, and looking on the inside instead of the outside

(b) Prescription drug diversion drains health insurers nationally of up to $72.5 billion a year, including up to $24.9 billion annually for private insurers.

Miking options with Wood Hoops
I've been thinking about wood hooped kit recently and wondering what options you have, and what issue arise, for close miking the drums in a live setting. I'm talking about the modern yahama style wood hoops, not the vintage ones.
Does anyone have any experiences with this? Do they sell special clips for this, or do you put mics on boom stands for every drum? I think would be ticked off if I was a sound guy trying to deal with all those boom stands, but maybe not.. idk. Steve Jordan uses mic stands for every drum and it seems to work for him. I was wondering if maybe this would force sound guys to just go with overheads for drum micing instead of close miking, which I might prefer, because I had sound guys one more than one occasion forego overheads and just close mics drums..
What are your thoughts on this?

Ask For Directions
Thursday, July 17th, 2014
My niece and I were driving to a party, and I had the GPS on to help with directions. I asked Bianca to be quiet for a little bit so I could hear the GPS voice tell me when to turn. Bianca whispered from the backseat, "Where does the GPS lady actually live?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Who Wants to Frame Joe?,
Mark Baker - Carstairs Considers (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
When Hershel Perkins picks a fight with Joe Woodyard in the local post office, Lee McKinney and the other locals think little of it. Hershel is known as the town crank, nice enough, but he's fought with just about everyone. But that night, Hershel goes missing. All the evidence points to Joe, but Lee refuses to believe her boyfriend could have had anything to do with it. When Hershel is found dead, the stack of evidence could be overwhelming. Lee overhears some things that make her wonder about Joe. They don't know each other too well yet. Still, it's such an obvious frame job even the sheriff is looking for other suspects. An attempt on Lee and Joe's life only confirms the fact that something else sinister is going on in this small resort town. Can they stay alive long enough to clear Joe's name from town gossip and the law?
Anyone looking for a light, fun cozy need look no further then this charming series. Being the third in the series, we are given just enough background to remind us of the characters, but not enough to slow down the story. The plot moves along nicely, with several scenes that had me turning pages as quickly as I could. While it reaches a logical conclusions, there was one plot point that needed a little ironing out. It wasn't enough to detract from the book overall for me, however. The author brings the small town Michigan setting and the characters to life with ease, and she introduces a potential new series character I can't wait to see again. The descriptions of the chocolates are enough to make your mouth water, so be prepared. The "chocolate chats" in this book focus on the history of chocolate and were more interesting then some of the ones in previous books have been.
Once again, I enjoyed each page of the book and am already looking forward to my next visit to Warner Pier, Michigan.
4.0 out of 5 stars Another visit to the shores of Lake Michigan,
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
Lee McKinney is building a new life for herself, working at her Aunt Nettie's chocolate shop in Warner Pier, Michigan. An old acquaintance from high school, Joe Woodyard, is showing interest in Lee and he asks her to accompany him on a romantic dinner and river cruise. Unfortunately Joe has a run-in with an eccentric man, Hershel Perkins, who accuses him of illegally tearing down an old root beer stand. When Hershel's canoe is found near Joe's place, the police suspect there may have been some foul play on Joe's part. While Lee and Joe are trying to find out the truth, they have to dodge attacks from someone in a car and then a boat, and Joe's life is seriously threatened. This is the third book in this charming series and the enjoyable mystery is interspersed with interesting facts about chocolate. It is recommended reading.
4.0 out of 5 stars Memorable characters, clever mystery,
L. Gillette-Martin "lisagm" (Silicon Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This is the best yet of JoAnna Carl's Chocolate Lover's Mysteries. The plot moves along briskly, and there are enough clues that the identity of the murderer doesn't come out of left field, which is one of my biggest pet peeves in a mystery.
Lee, Aunt Nettie, Joe, Chief Jones and the other inhabitants of Warner Pier feel like old friends by now, the Chocolate Chat tidbits are always interesting -- and best of all, Carl has cut back on the incidences of Lee mixing up her words when she gets flustered. This annoying trait was way too frequent in the first book, less evident in the second, and only occurred a few times in "Frog." Carl is much too good a writer to have to rely on such gimmicks!

This is really easy, and just amounts to tearing apart your screen, flipping over the reflective part, and putting it back together.
Actually, the biggest challenge was being a little creative about hanging it.
You'll need a little computer screwdriver and some scissors, plus whatever you plan to use to hang it. I'll leave the hanging to your own devices.
Step 1: Disassemble
The big white strip (green on the other side, pictured) that says "do not touch" should be cut off with scissors.
Step 2: Reassemble
Now screw it back together in a few places so the frame holds all the guts in. For ease, try to attach at least one piece that can be used to hang it, like pictured. These should have come off the frame.
Step 3: Hang it up!
If your monitor is like mine, you'll have a nice shiny frame around your nice shiny mirror!
Little cable was kept for style purposes.
Thanks for watching!

What do you get if you cross the fast-casual concept with your Italian grandmother's kitchen? The answer might be Filomena's Italian Kitchen. Owner Filomena Angelucci-Dean grew up in Castel Frentano, Italy, but her menu is rooted in the broad, popular tradition of Italian food in America. The lasagna, one of four entrées offered, is excellent, as are the chicken marsala and chicken Parmigiano. Simple pasta dishes, salads and sandwiches are also available. The highlight is the arancini, flash-fried balls of risotto with a molten cheese core.

USC Aiken 4-4
Erskine 3-4
The USC Aiken softball team picked up a victory and a tie in its doubleheader with Erskine on Wednesday. The Pacers claimed a thrilling 4-3 come-from-behind win over Erskine (2-5-1) in the opener before the two teams tied, 4-4, in eight innings in the second game.
In the first game, the Pacers (4-3-1) scored first when North Augusta grad Lindsey Jones doubled in Sarah Montei in the third inning. Erskine responded with three runs in the bottom of the third, but USCA started a rally in the fifth when Jones doubled and was knocked home by another double by Hillary Stewart.
Brittney Williamson led off the top of the seventh for USCA by singling, then advancing to second on a passed ball. She scored the game-tying run after an error by Erskine pitcher Kelsey Spurrier (1-3). Shortly thereafter, the Pacers went ahead when Jones scored on another Flying Fleet error.
India Kornegay pitched a scoreless seventh to secure the come-from-behind victory. Kornegay (2-2) fanned eight in the win, only allowing two hits.
In the second game, the teams traded off three-run innings, before Kaitlyn White gave the Pacers a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth when she singled in Victoria Burkett. The Flying Fleet tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom half of the inning, which was how it ended because Erskine doesn't have lights at its softball facility.
Nicole Borden and White led the Pacers with two hits each. Borden had two RBIs, while White scored a run to go along with her RBI. Taylor Morgan struck out eight in her eight innings in the circle for USCA in game two.
USCA will return home to host Brevard on Sunday at J.H. Satcher Field. The first game of the twinbill is slated to start at 2 p.m.

Khloe Kardashian Wants to Lose 10 Pounds For X Factor: Report
Looks like both Kim Kardashian and sister Khloe Kardashian are on a weight loss kick!
In preparation for her new gig hosting The X Factor, which starts on November 1, Khloe is looking to drop at least 10 pounds, a source told Hollywood Life.
"She's hitting up the gym, jogging around on the treadmill, and getting her head right for the show," the insider said.
Khloe's also been working with fitness guru Gunnar Peterson, who also trains the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, and Matthew McConaughey.
"Had an amazing workout with @Gunnar balls to the walls," tweeted Khloe yesterday.
From the sound of that, we have no doubt she'll reach her fitness goal in time to be on camera!

They toook 2 orders from me and got them both wrong and refused to give me what I ordered. The girl that took my order spoke so fast I couldnt understand her and when I asked her to repeat herself she had the worst attitude. I will never order from here again.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/17/2012
I ordered from Glatt Kosher Family on a number of occasions and am really impressed. The food was ready ten minutes after it was ordered and it tasted great. Best of all, I was able to have a nice lunch for myself and a coworker for $15. Great value, timely service, and the food is really good.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/17/2012
The food is fairly good, though they cater to purely Ashkenazi tastes. The service is poor, and be sure never to show up and order--you'll wait forever. Order ahead.
Posted by Steve on 09/18/2011
great place, great food very tasty it might be a little on the expensive side, but worth every dollar. i recomend this place to ALL my friends.

The chances are at some point in life you've moaned about not having enough time. We've all done it. "I don't know where the time went" is a common complaint, so is "There aren't enough hours in the day" . The fact is though as we all know, time always passes at exactly the same speed and there is nothing we can do but learn how to manage time effectively ensuring that we are able to complete the things that are most important to us.
"Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week's value out of a year while another man gets a full year's value out of a week." Charles Richards
Here are 7 tips to help you learn how to manage time effectively.
Have clearly defined goals: If you don't have pre-defined goals you can waste an awful lot of time doing things that really aren't important. Decide what you're goals are and then work towards them.
"If you want to make good use of your time, you've got to know what's most important and then give it all you've got." Lee Iacocca
Prioritise: Even when you have a clear set of goals, you still need to prioritise. Prioritising your goals is important, but it's equally important to priorities everyday tasks that arise. Recognise that you cannot always achieve everything you want.
Learn to say no: One of the most important factors of learning how to manage time effectively is learning to say no. It's all too easy to take on too much. It's not a good strategy to adopt whether at home or at work. So learn to say no.
Stay focussed: If you want to maximise the amount of work you can get done in a set period of time then it's important that you stay focussed. Avoid distractions, focus on a single piece of work, set yourself clear targets for what you want to achieve in the timeframe. You will never learn how to manage time effectively if you're not able to stay focussed.
"The key is in not spending time, but in investing it". Stephen R. Covey
Delegate: Accept that you cannot do everything and delegate tasks to someone else. If you're a perfectionist or someone who loves to micro-manage this can be really difficult, but it's the only way to make sure that you are using your time effectively.
Plan ahead: If you plan ahead, you can anticipate when you may be facing greater pressures on your time, and you can also make sure you have some 'wriggle room' (spare time).
Establish positive patterns: If you want to learn how to manage time effectively, it's important that you establish some positive patterns to your routine. If you have certain things that you always need to do eg exercise, writing, reading, learning a language etc timetable them into your routine
Summary: When so many people find themselves struggling to cope with all the different things that compete for their attention, learning how to manage time effectively is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimising some of the day to day stresses of a full life.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9, 2004 A soldier was killed and several were injured in two separate Sept. 8 incidents in Iraq, Multinational Force Iraq officials reported.
One 1st Infantry Division soldier died and seven others were injured in a vehicle accident near Baqubah. Six of the injured soldiers were taken to a military treatment facility and were reported to be in stable condition. The seventh was treated and returned to duty.
Also on Sept. 8, the crew of a Multinational Force Iraq helicopter was evacuated when the aircraft crashed in Anbar province. All four personnel who were aboard are expected to fully recover, officials said.
Iraqi security forces and Multinational Force Iraq soldiers were kept busy Sept. 8 throughout northern Iraq.
Eight insurgents were detained, a roadside bombing was thwarted, and weapons were recovered.
Soldiers from 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, detained three people wanted for planning and conducting anti-Iraqi activities. The suspects are associated with the terrorist element that has repeatedly attacked multinational forces, Iraqi security forces and civilians during the past two weeks in Tal Afar, officials said. They were arrested while trying to gather intelligence near a base in Tal Afar.
Northwest of Mosul, Iraqi National Guardsmen conducted two cordon-and-search operations and detained three suspected anti-Iraqi personnel.
Iraqi police foiled a roadside bomb attack after they noticed a suspicious item lying near the road in the neighborhood of Al Mosul Al Jadidah. An Iraqi explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the device, and no injuries were reported.
A concerned citizen came to soldiers of 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment, in northern Mosul and turned in an SA-7 surface-to-air missile and launcher. A U.S. EOD team secured the missile for future destruction.
Iraqi National Guard and 1st Infantry Division soldiers detained two suspected anti-Iraqi force insurgents during a raid near Tikrit. The soldiers conducted the raid based on information provided by an Iraqi citizen.

An analytical look at the San Diego Chargers heading into the 2011 NFL draft:
Team needs
1. Defensive end. Free agent Jacques Cesaire, who has started the past two seasons, will be reduced to being a reserve if he is retained. The Chargers are looking for a potential difference-maker at No. 18 in the first round -- Cal's Cameron Jordan or Wisconsin's J.J. Watt.
2. Outside linebacker. The Chargers may bolster this spot in the first round if the right player is available. A healthy Larry English is expected to start opposite Shaun Phillips this season, and Antwan Applewhite is a good No. 3. But with pass-rush improvement a priority, the team has shown much interest in Purdue's Ryan Kerrigan and could even end up dropping down or acquiring a second first-round pick to take UCLA's Akeem Ayers.
3. Wide receiver. Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee are likely to be unrestricted free agents, and the Chargers can't keep all of them. Even if they franchise Jackson, they'll only be able to keep him one year. It's time to take a player to develop -- perhaps as high as the second round. Interesting possibilities and players that fit their mold are Pitt's Jon Baldwin, Troy's Jerrel Jernigan and Kentucky's Randall Cobb. Jernigan or Cobb could also fill the hole at kick returner that will likely be left with the expected departure of Darren Sproles.
4. Inside linebacker. Every one of the Chargers' top four inside linebackers is likely to be an unrestricted free agent. Donald Butler is a possible starter, but there is no guarantee he will be entirely recovered from an Achilles' tear that forced him to sit his rookie season. The draft appears deep at this position, and the Chargers could wait until the end of the third round to find depth.
5. Cornerback. Depth and an eye to replacing Quentin Jammer in a couple of years should be the goal with one of the later picks. A draft seemingly deep at the position comes at a good time for the Chargers. Clemson's Marcus Gilchrist is one player they've spent time evaluating, but they could strike earlier on Colorado's Jimmy Smith.
6. Offensive tackle. The team hopes to retain right tackle Jeromey Clary, but the Chargers need depth with the last of their five picks in the first three rounds. More likely, they will spend a later pick for tackle depth. It is not totally out of the question that the abundance of good tackles available could prompt an early pick on Anthony Castonzo or Nate Solder.
Five-year history
This is an important year after four drafts that have to be considered subpar. Just 16 of the past 26 draft picks (since '07) remain on the roster. While nine of the 10 departures were selected after the third round and the Chargers have been one of the NFL's winningest teams in that span, it's a retention rate that can't be repeated later this month.
They also need to get more impact players, as only eight draftees since 2006 have made a substantial number of starts. That's not enough for a team that makes almost no moves in free agency and prefers to build through the draft.
Just one question
What is the team's biggest need, and why?
OLB Shaun Phillips: "We need another impact player of defense. ... I guess I would say a pass rusher. Who impacts the game more than a player who hurries the quarterback and gets sacks, causes turnovers? I would welcome with open arms another impact player on defense."

In what year did the United States finally leave the gold standard? Why did it happen and what replaced it?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The United States finally took gold out of complete circulation in 1934 with The Gold Reserve Act being enacted. It happened mainly because of The Great Depression in the 1930's and Roosevelt changed the valuation of gold to $35.00 per ounce. From there we went to paper money(dollars) that were promised to be good for "one-dollars worth of gold". We still see silver certificates today (the strange green colored dollars that say "silver certificate") and the government does have to still honor those since some escaped being pulled. After all certificates issuing gold were pulled because the price of gold would fluctuate and people would abuse the system, the government implemented the dollars you see today which have the face-value printed and supposedly have the gold to back them up.

The good news: spring brings warmer weather! The bad news: it also brings more of the tree, weed and grass pollens that cause, or "trigger," allergy symptoms for millions of people. Seasonal allergies cause sneezing, wheezing, coughing, runny and stuffed noses, postnasal drip, watery eyes and itching of the nose and eyes. Symptoms can be mild or severe and can even lead to sinus or ear infections and worsening of asthma.
But there is more good news: seasonal allergies can be controlled.
1. Why do I get spring allergies?
If your allergy symptoms occur only certain times of the year, especially in the spring, summer and fall when high pollen counts are common, then you might have seasonal allergies. Each of these seasons has higher counts of certain of pollen in the air. Tree pollen counts are high in spring, grass pollen in summer and weed pollen in fall. Your health care provider or allergy specialist can diagnose seasonal allergies based on your history of symptoms, an exam and allergy skin tests.
2. How can I treat spring allergies?
Several over-the-counter and prescription medicines are available to prevent and treat symptoms of seasonal allergies:
- Antihistamines treat or prevent allergy symptoms by counteracting the effects of histamine, the naturally occurring chemical that causes allergy symptoms. Many antihistamines can be purchased without a prescription, including "non-sedating antihistamines," such as loratadine and cetirizine, both available as generic drugs.
- Prescription nasal spray corticosteroids can reduce allergic inflammation but aren't available over-the-counter.
- Cromolyn nose spray available over-the-counter, may be helpful for seasonal allergy symptoms.
- Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine can help to relieve a stuffy nose.
- Other helpful OTC products include lozenges to soothe a sore throat, saline nasal rinse and antihistamine eye drops.
- Allergy shots may be prescribed for patients with severe seasonal allergies who do not respond to the solutions indicated above.
3. Do allergy treatments have side effects?
Antihistamines can cause drowsiness especially in the older products, such as diphenhydramine and doxylamine. If you need to be alert (to drive a car or operate heavy machinery) a non-sedating antihistamine is the safer choice. Overuse of over-the-counter decongestant nasal spray can actually make your stuffy nose worse, so be sure to follow product directions and not use it beyond the maximum number of days.
4. What is an allergy 'hot spot'?
Where you live makes a difference to your allergies. Find out the daily pollen counts and types of pollen currently found in your area. Last year, the 5 worst spring allergy cities (according to Weather.com) were: 1. Jackson, MS; 2. Knoxville, TN; 3. Chattanooga, TN; 4. McAllen, TX; and 5. Louisville, KY.
5. Can I prevent spring allergies?
Pay attention to what you did during the day when your symptoms appeared. If you were hiking, it's probably pollen. If you were spring cleaning in the attic, it could be dust. If you were around a smoker, it could be the cigarette smoke. The best way to avoid seasonal allergies is to know and avoid your allergy triggers. However, that's not always possible. When you can, stay indoors on dry windy days, especially mornings, when pollen counts are high. If over-the-counter allergy medications don't work; if your symptoms are severe; or if you're prone to secondary infections or worsening of asthma or other respiratory conditions, see your doctor.
Be well, Stay well,
-Pharmacist Andy

Tony Arthur, author of the provocative, supernatural thriller, The Chosen, is at it once again. His second novel, The Custodian is as riveting, as it is thought provoking.
Earth is in a state of decay. Since the advent of the industrial revolution, pollution of her land has reached an alarming proportion. In her seas and oceans, what it doesn't decimate, indiscriminate and excessive harvesting have wiped out entire species, while many others are on the brink. And the earth continues to endure brutal rape by industry, in search of oil, along with other energy sources, and precious metals. Depletion of the ozone layer has led to global warming. The polar caps are melting. The exploding population consume the earth's resources at a rate that is unsustainable.
How long can Earth endure? Enter the Custodian, a supernatural being whose mission is to save earth, and to restore balance. The Custodian brings a new order to achieve its goal. In that new order the preservation of Earth is paramount. And it will be achieved by any means necessary.
The human population(s) on the planet will soon learn the meaning of expendable; when man becomes the hunted.

Luftwaffe's album cover
Student Arts Fund Sponsors First Vinyl Record
In this age of instantly gratifying web purchases and digitized music libraries, who still cares about old-fashioned vinyl records? Bennett Smith '11 for one. And he is just one of the vintage format's growing legion of fans. (In 2010 vinyl sales were up 14 percent, according to Billboard.)
Last spring, Smith petitioned the John B. Hurford '60 Humanities Center's Student Arts Fund for financing for his own vinyl 7" single for his band, Luftwaffe, at that time a duo with Swarthmore's Toby Altman. (The band has since added two other Haverford students to its lineup.) "It's so easy to record and release music on the internet these days," says Smith. "So we wanted an opportunity to do it in a different way and be pushed to reach the standards of that different format."
"Bennett, in his proposal, talked a lot about how in 2010 a CD is really a transitory object," says James Weissinger, associate director of the Humanities Center, and one of the people involved in the decision-making for the Student Arts Fund. "You take a CD, you put it in your computer, you rip the music, you put it on your mp3 player. A lot of people then throw the CDs away… But vinyl has this magical feeling of sound totally embedded within an object that this little needle brings to life. [And Bennett] is still in love with the physicality of that."
On the basis of his proposal and some musical samples, Smith was granted $1310 from the Fund to press a record and print sleeves for it. Luftwaffe then set about recording songs specifically for the vinyl release. With Smith on guitar and Altman on drums—and computers programmed to play recorded samples to fill out the duo's sound—they spent the summer of 2010 recording, splitting their time between the basement studio of the Haverford College Dining Center and the bedrooms of the West Philadelphia apartment they shared. The resulting three songs, A-side "Never Let Me Go" and B-sides "Old Friends" and "Warm Blood," are full of warm washes of shimmery, reverberating guitars and subtle, looping psychedelia. It seems appropriate, then, that they decided to call their subsequent 7" Quiet Summer.
Though the end product is vintage in every way, the production itself was decidedly digital. To keep costs down and to take the place of additional members, Luftwaffe relied on computers to create the recording, a decision that influenced the music itself and resulted in a sound that the band has since outgrown. "We ended up with a cramped and loud and jerky 'file' that we made while we were pretty delirious in July or August," says Smith. "We weren't really going outside too much last summer, often it felt too hot, and the record and the cover image [are] sort of about that—being on our computers in the heat, sort of imagining the summer and the record." Smith says that the music they now play is "very different from what wound up on the record, formally and sonically" in that they've set aside the computers in favor of what Smith characterizes as "loud, melodic guitar pop." And whether or not their foray into the 7" roots of popular music played a role in this evolution, the permanence of vinyl captures a heavily digitized moment in Luftwaffe's history like a mosquito preserved in amber, just as Smith surmised in his initial proposal.
The record was pressed in Nashville, Tennessee, and copies, complete with a hazy, sunny cover photo by Sam Kaplan '10, arrived on campus at the end of fall semester. They are now available for free in the lounge of Ehaus or by emailing Smith (email@example.com).
The record earned some nice notices from online press outlets, but Smith is blasé about the attention. "As soon as something is finished it's best for me to leave it and not linger with it too long, because I'll find all the things I don't like about it," he says. "But I'd say on the whole we're really happy with it and proud of it, especially because being able to do something like this is an amazing opportunity."
Weissinger and his colleagues who allocate Student Arts Fund monies—including the Humanities Center Student Advisory Board—are also pleased with the result: the first ever Student Arts Fund-sponsored vinyl release. "We really try to use the money to fund specific projects undertaken by students… that work toward specific goals, specific visions and bring something new to campus," says Weissinger. "It is a space at Haverford for experimentation."

Created: 08/13/2014 6:41 AM WHEC.com
By: Brett Davidsen
A man from Ogden took a plea deal in a series of crimes last January that ended with a Monroe County Sheriff's deputy shooting him.
Vincenzo Zagari was accused of robbing a bank in Ogden, then the next day, police say he shoplifted and carjacked a woman before the deputy shot him. Now he will spend the next 12 years in prison.
It was a full courtroom -- Zagari's family and supporters on one side, deputies from the sheriff's office on the other and in front of the judge, Vincenzo Zagari, who pleaded guilty to menacing a police officer and two counts of attempted robbery.
Afterward, Prosecutor Patrick Farrell explained why they agreed to a deal. "The fact that he was taking responsibility for his actions that day as well as with the maximum sentence being involved and waiving his right to appeal."
The violent incident occurred across the street from Pittsford Plaza. Zagari was being pursued after he was seen shoplifting from the Pittsford Wegmans and driving away in a stolen car. He was shot in the chest by Deputy Bridget Davis after he attacked the deputy with a hammer and then pulled out a BB gun.
In court, Zagari was made to re-count the incident, saying the deputy chased him down, saw the gun, which he called a "fake gun," she told him to put it down and he acknowledged that he ignored that order. He also pled guilty today to trying to rob a bank in Spencerport a day earlier.
Zagari's mother, AnnMarie, says despite his crimes, she supports her son. "My son is going to be held accountable. I don't take the crime away from him. He's taken accountability for his action and I applaud him for that. He's growing up. He's clean and he's growing up right now."
Zagari was an accomplished state-champion wrestler in high school but his mother says a sports injury led to an addiction to pills and several stints in rehab. She says she's confident he'll emerge from prison a better person. "He's going to learn his lessons and he's going to go on and become a great person in life and I do believe that he's survived because he will be making changes in the world in helping other kids."
Zagari also waived his right to appeal. He will be sentenced next month.
A spokesperson for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office tells us Deputy Davis was not in court today but prosecutors tell us she was consulted on the plea deal and was on-board with what was offered.

Another attempt at painting with light, taken in Roundhay Park in Leeds. I decided to pick out the tree as well as the fountain and am quite pleased with the effect.
Now that I have the basics I think I may treat myself to some coloured gels and hopefully find somewhere to use them when Robbie and I next go away.

Brilliant image....Live in Leeds,didant know it was lite up at night....
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks John. It actually isn't lit up normally, I was playing with a technique called 'painting with light'. You need a narrow beam high power torch and it's then a matter of finding somewhere dark and picking an object to light up with the torch. This is exposed for about 30 seconds and the torch was used for probably half that time.
If you want to see some excellent painting with light stufff take a look at Ade McFade's profile.

A three-judge panel granted California a two-year extension last week to comply with a federal order to reduce prison overcrowding.
The current state budget sets aside 315 million dollars for that purpose. Governor Brown's budget proposal for the next fiscal year adds another 400 million to prison population reduction.
H.D. Palmer with the governor's Department of Finance says the money would have been spent differently had the court not granted the extension.
"Then the money we are providing for such things as mental health, substance abuse disorder, re-entry programs, we would have had to have spent that money to acquire additional out-of-state capacity to house inmates," says Palmer.
Meanwhile, a recent study from the non-profit watchdog group, the California Budget Project, says prison spending is up about one billion dollars over what it was two years ago. It went mainly to guard salaries and housing inmates.
