i´ve created different buttons and initalized them with an array with photos as backgroundImage.
UIButton* myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[myButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: (NSString*) obj ] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[myButton addTarget:nil action:@selector(buttonDown: ) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
Here´s my buttonDown-method:
-(void) buttonDown:(UIButton*) sender {
NSLog(@"pressed: %@", sender.currentBackgroundImage );}
That traced me that: "pressed: < UIImage: 0x6625c40 >"
Now i want to know how can i get that image-name of any clicked button? Would be nice to know.Thanks for your time.

Wrapped up in history
By: Megan Wood The Press Tribune
Roseville quilter completes city's final gift celebrating 100 years
With Roseville's centennial year winding down, there was one last birthday gift to be had and you could say it was finished in the "stitch" of time. Last week Lynette Schroedle presented a quilt to the Roseville City Council to commemorate the 100th birthday of the city and the historical buildings, events and landmarks that create the fabric of Roseville. "One of the most fun things of the quilt was learning more about Roseville and hearing all sorts of stories," said Schroedle, who is vice president of the Roseville Quilters Guild who volunteered her time and effort to design and create the quilt. Schroedle said the Quilters Guild wanted to do something special to celebrate the city's birthday and began brainstorming ideas for a centennial quilt. "We realized we were taking on something bigger than any of us and that we could really only do it justice with pictures," Schroedle said. A retired Sacramento teacher, Schroedle stepped forward to volunteer her time and craftsmanship to the quilt. "Some of the other guild members offered to help, too," Schroedle said. "But I do my best quilting between 8 p.m. and midnight. I figured I was retired and this was something I could do that I would enjoy." After attending a walking tour of Old Roseville with the Rose Club of Roseville High School, Carnegie Museum's Phoebe Astill and Roseville historian Duke Davis, Schroedle said she was inspired for the design of the quilt by the history of the buildings and the stories she heard along the way. "It was fascinating to hear about the history of some of the buildings and what they were originally used for," Schroedle said. "For example, I never knew that the Roseville Opera House has never had an opera performed in it. It has been all sorts of things including a skating rink but it's never had an opera." With the help of Astill, Schroedle chose a selection of 32 photos representing Roseville from its earliest beginnings as an established city. Some photos include scenes from Vernon Street where the Pacific Street Café now stands, Theodore Judah, the Odd Fellows Building and six of Roseville's first police officers. In April, the Pixeladies of Cameron Park, a business that converts photos into craft projects, helped to transfer images onto fabric to create the quilt squares. Using Civil War reproduction fabric to complement the sepia-toned historical photos, the blue, brown and beige-patterned materials felt more authentic to the historical nature of the quilt said Schroedle and Astill, who helped select the material. After framing each photo and machine stitching nameplates to provide some historical background for the images, Schroedle finished piecing the quilt together in September. Lifelong resident and owner of Quilted Creations, Debbie Lopez, was chosen to complete quilt including the finishing stitch design throughout the patchwork blanket. "I was so impressed by the work that (Schroedle) did," Lopez said. "It was such a fabulous quilt and even living here my whole life, I still learned so much from working on it." Both Lopez and Schroedle said the quilt became a conversation piece while they worked on it with community members and fellow quilters sharing their stories of cows running through JCPenney's store windows or shepherds leading their flock down Douglas Boulevard. "I think it will be like a photo album for future generations, it gives a fabulous education of how far Roseville has come in the last century," Lopez said. The quilt was presented to the Roseville City Council and the Roseville community on Oct. 7, and it will be displayed at prominent areas throughout the city on a rotation basi so that residents will have an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate Schroedle and Lopez's craftsmanship, said Mayor Gina Garbolino. "I really appreciate the effort they put into the quilt," Garbolino said. "It will last the next 100 years or more as a reminder of our past and will serve as a real tribute to the city." The Roseville Quilt Guild meets on the third Wednesday of the month and regularly stitches quilts to donate to local nonprofit organizations and charities.

Overall: 4.0 / 5 based on 4 reviews
3 of 4 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.
Awesome -
By: Copperjohn16 from Wallingford, KY
This fly is great! First time out, on my third cast, I caught a nice crappie and got lots of strikes after that.
Great Bluegill Fly -
By: BigPoppy from New Orleans, Louisiana
This is a great fly for bluegills. Had great results late in the evening just before sunset with the white and chartreuse colors. Even had a 4lb. largemouth eat the chartreuse color. Easy to cast and great action on the water.
Hasn't "panned" out for me -
By: Neusewader from Raleigh, NC
I must have set my expectations too high because this popper looks really outstanding but hasn't yielded that return on investment I was seeking. I'll continue keeping it in rotation so it has a chance to earn its keep, especially during the longer evenings of summer.
Solid Performer -
By: lilroy
This lure is easy to cast and I got a lot of action on it in our mountain lake. I caught a couple of small bass and several blue gill.

Remember Me
Enter Don, fresh from that Michigan gig. At a show at Portland eatery Eugenio's
one day— where Don had accompanied Mike and David as appreciative audience
member—he picked up the couple of percussion instruments lying around,
and the trio broke into a rendition of Pink Floyd's "Money." With
that a band was born. David remembers that day and the electrifying impact it
had on all three band members: "From that point on it was full speed ahead.
It was like we weren't exactly doing what was happening: it was happening to
us, through us. We just realized it, cooperated with it, received it, and are
giving it away."
On the horizon for the band are more original tunes that showcase the unique
instrumentation of the trio, along with experiments in inspired improvisation.
At its most basic, Sneakin' Out simultaneously confirms and explodes listeners'
expectations. People recognize the songs, but with a disorienting twist. It's
a combination that unleashes laughter, headnodding and singing-along. Hearing
Sneakin' Out, you're bound to hear differently.
In the two years that have followed, Sneakin' Out has played hundreds
of shows and developed a loyal audience. The band's opened for luminaries
kd lang, John Jorgenson and Pink Martini; played on the stages of bars and festivals
and concert halls; released one CD (Train Wreck) and recorded another (Opera
Tuna Teen Ox, slated for release in 2006); appeared on KOPB's LiveWire
and KMHD's Home Grown Live; and formed the 11-piece Billy Shears Orchestra,
with which it performs a loving recreation of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band.

There's a lot to learn in our sewing adventures that is much easier seen than read. So I wanted to get a rolling list of web videos for us to all learn from.
I really like the webcast that Peggy Sagers at Silhouette Patterns does. She does these on so many different topics. You can ask questions. Past webcasts are available to view if you couldn't join the live one.
Craftsy has a free Sewing Machine 911 class. Haven't watched this one yet but I hear great things about other Craftsy classes.
I just found ProfessorPinCushion recently. There are videos on specific topics (bias binding), as well as, projects start to finish from a pattern. Really great for those just starting out.
What are the other great sewing videos out there on the world wide web?
------I finally have a blog. www.detectivehoundstooth.com :)
There's a great blog created by Sigrid on sewing tutorials which used to be regularly updated though I'm not sure how often now. Not all of the tutes are on video but you may find it really helpful though SEWING TUTORIALS BLOGSPOT.
-- Edited on 5/29/12 4:17 AM --
------Maree - Sydney, Australia
Great post! I love Professor Pincushion and I'll have to check out those other sites you guys mention. As a very clueless beginner, I found the youtube series "Sewing from the very beginning" extremely helpful.
It's very detailed tour of a start (before opening the pattern envelope) to finish sewing project by a beginner. She explains basic things that many other sites assume you already know.
Oops! Forgot to mention the Threads series. A bunch of short videos on various topics.
Nancy Zeiman TV has videos on sewing, embroidery and quilting.
Sewing With Nancy TV series is available on the Wisconsin Public TV website.
January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in. January 2011 to the present: 47 yards out and 69 yards in.
These are such great resources! Are there any more?? -- Edited on 6/3/12 1:40 PM --
esewingworkshop.com has some free sample videos on Youtube.
Also, very charming, on Youtube, Kids Sewing with Katrina Marie.
(Her website) -- Edited on 6/3/12 7:27 PM --
FWIW, I think Sigrid's Tutorials are the best compilation on the web. It is good solid information.

"And now on PTV, Its the Peter Griffin Side Boob Hour…"
Second?? BITCHEZ!!!
Killer rack.
Killer ass.
All those gym workouts are keeping it right!
Damn she has a nice body.
Is it wrong to masturbate here at work? I guess HR will have to answer that question…
However, she does need her shoulder be pushed back in place and she also need to get rid of that half fat cow face and body standing next to her
1st pic. I look at her face, then her boob, then the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man on the right.
Surely she has some double-stick tape keeping the dress from flapping open, at least? They're looking a bit low though. I wouldn't go so far as to say she doesn't need one…she can get away without it, but she would benefit from having some sort of support.
Have you noticed that not once is anyone looking at her in those pictures.
Man, what has been drinking the past week diuretics?
She looks like she just dropped 20 pounds and is about to enter a concentration camp movie.
Or maybe she's just been doing meth for a week. She certainly looks like she's been aging super fast.
And whats up with that guys face in the third pic? Did someone attack his face with a cookie cutter?
For all the attention she's been getting on her looks recenetly, it doesn't really seem like she tried to hard to look good at the Oscars. That dress is ill fitting and the color is nausiating.
Og God….you know, I didn't watch the Academy Awards for a reason…..THEY ARE BORING!!!!
But now I have to read about them all day???
Work is going to suck today. So, anybody know….did Lindsay show? Was she wasted? What about Hilton? We all KNOW Brit wasn't there. But why would she be, she's not an actress, she a psychopath. Well, at least I can finally relate to her now. We're so similar, Brit and I. I even brought my umbrella to work with me in case the lawyers give me any "problems"…
All that beauty and she still can't pick a decent dress.
Side boobs make the world go around.
Now if we could just remember why Ms. Biel is famous…
Why don't I find her attractive? I mean, something about her body just doesn't look sexy. Compare the two Jessica's – Alba is so damn sexy but Biel just has something odd about her look. Heck, even Simpson I'd take over Biel…er, well, Simpson when she was all toned and sexy and natural looking, not the clown make-up Simpson that gets paraded on this website.
I can't believe people still intentionally wear fuscia. It is a foul color no matter what you look like.
She was flashing Ellen.
I honestly don't know what the big deal about her is. I just saw her in the Illusionist and she sucked. Very mediocre actress.
As far as I can tell, the big deal is that she works out a lot, focusing mostly on her butt. Consequently her butt is very firm and high. That suggests to many that she would enjoy anal sex, and be quite skilled at it. I'm not exactly sure how they get from A to B, and it seems like she's into chicks anyway, but there you have it.

Here's what critics are saying about
Alibi in High Heels:
"ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is a clever and stylish addition to Gemma Halliday's laughter-infused Maddie Springer series."
- Chicago Tribune
"Halliday is on top of her game, and readers will love Maddie's new adventure."
- Booklist
"If you're in the mood for a fun, fast, easy read cozy, you can't go wrong with ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS! I wasn't just a reader, I was truly along for the ride. Gemma Halliday has created a delightful reluctant sleuth!"
- Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine
"I started ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS around 2 pm and read non stop until 11 pm when I finished it. The writing was so engaging and so fun that I did not want to put this book down. This is a 5 star book that I HIGHLY recommend to Janet Evanovich fans who are looking for a new author to try that they will LOVE!!! ALIBI IN HIGH HEELS is the best book that I have read in a while, and I can't wait to read more books by Gemma Halliday."

Those magic melons sell lots of magic melons.
Why oh why do women insist on messing with plastic surgery to make themselves look "younger"? She looks like a dude now, and that hurts to say cuz I used to be a bit obsessed with her back in the day.
Fer fucksake, dude. Cut her some slack. She's 47 fucking years old!
So you like women who look like trannies….that's cool.
Is this Maria Menounos? I honestly can't tell, I've never seen her from the front.
Welcome to the crypt! I've dug something up for you…
I hope that's just harsh makeup and not the result of some Beverly Hills plastic surgeon ghoul sucking fat out of her face.
Somewhere there is an engineer saying to himself "Man, I sure hope those gold support beams hold."
over botoxed
looks like a tranny
For Christ's sake Skeletor; man-up!
Cindy, here's a quarter…
She resembles Maria Shriver.

The starry night of the Golden Globes does not end after the curtain goes down. Au contraire. After parties buzz with excitement and elation after the evening. HBO and InStyle threw two major parties. We all fawned over the gorgeous gowns of the awards' attendees, but more famous faces showed up to shmooze and rub shoulders with Hollywood's elite. Here are some of the best dressed of the after parties — party on.
To see who else showed up in style for the after parties,

NO, NONE do anything for me either. The 1st 3 pictured should have been the last. They do nothing for the article. I had predetermined that I wasn't going to look at the rest because of the 3 nightmares. Alek Welk is supposed to be this top model beauty but if I had her body from the neck down, I would start Overdosing on McDonalds and Olive Garden. The combo of pasta and bread should give her some curves. You can't guess how an outfit would fit a real body by looking at her in it.

1. Re: What are the best practices to a rule which allow's all client IP's to be unfiltered to report activity?Regis Feb 27, 2013 12:00 PM (in response to robert.messing)
You definitely don't want to generate email on every request.
You might consider creating a separate log for them under the log handler ... add a new one with a criteria of client.ip matches in list [list of whitelisted ip's]. And then deep in there is some magic to do FileSystemLoggin.WritelogEntry (User-definedloglinesomething or ther) and within there a log configuration can be made to autmatically push that log out to Web Reporter at certain intervals. I strongly recommend getting support's help with this because I can never do it on my own despite having done it twice before with their help.
Or, if you have the web reporter, you could possibly to it on that end based on stock access logs. I'm not sure though as web reporter is ... not the greatest in terms of its query flexibility.
Or, you could deal with raw logs and do an zfgrep -f textfileoftheiripaddresses.txt /path/to/your/archived/logs/accessYYMMDD* > whitelisters_reviewme_somehow.txt
The first one is probably the cleanest.
Getting web reporter to send you a daily summary based on a log file source of those with that privilege is probably the way to go.

Thank You regis for reply,
I was more looking for best way to configure a rule to allow all access to web (not blocking anything) for a few subnets, to generate report of all there activity and what users access.
The report answer was a help
currently i have a ruleset allow URL custom, under rule I have client IP Range:destinationIPRange and criteria client IP in in range list or URL destination IP is in range list Url allow
Client Subnets are added
Action: continue
Events: set client.IP=Client.IP
not sure if i need anything else in rules to record data


text: Great to see this type of support. I am here now and I can see funds/grants will be needed through this season as repairs and rebuilding will take months (in the cold, stormy winter). Hopefully, we can develop a micro-grant program to help people with basics after this 2-3 weeks strong interest and major media coverage has died down. Could @AcumenFund manage something like that?

Arctic Monkeys' fourth album, Suck It And See, is a dazzling return to form — and to producer, long‑time collaborator and 'fifth Monkey' James Ford.
Although James Ford is known for his production on Klaxons' Mercury Prize‑scooping 2007 album Myths Of The Near Future, as well as four tracks on Florence And The Machine's unit‑hoovering Lungs in 2009, he is associated above all with Alex Turner and the Arctic Monkeys. Though he narrowly missed out — due, he reckons, to his being "young and inexperienced" — on being handed the production reins of the Sheffield quartet's landmark 2006 debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, Ford helmed its successor, Favourite Worst Nightmare, and then went on to oversee Turner's side project, the Last Shadow Puppets, for whom he also stepped in as drummer.
By 2009, Arctic Monkeys were clearly keen to remould their sound, and so travelled to California to record with Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme, for the harder‑rocking Humbug, which divided the band's audience. Tellingly, perhaps, Ford produced the three poppier stand‑out tracks on the album, so it was no surprise when the news arrived that he had been reinstated as producer for the entirety of the band's remarkable fourth album, Suck It And See. Very much in the tradition of the great guitar groups, it has echoes of everyone from the Byrds, through Echo & the Bunnymen to the Smiths.
For his part, Ford claims not to have felt affronted in any way by the Monkeys' Humbug dalliance with Homme. "No, not really," he laughs. "I talked to Alex about it early on and I thought it seemed to make sense. It all worked out fine. "I keep in contact with Alex a lot — we hang out and I consider him a friend. So we talk about what's going on quite a lot. I'd never sort of force myself on them, but if they ask me to work with them, I'm more than happy. They're such a talented bunch and such a nice band to record and to be around, I'd be daft not to take up the opportunity."
Never ones to indulge themselves in the endless editing possibilities of digital recording, the roots of Arctic Monkeys' live‑sounding and unfussy Suck It And See lay in Alex Turner's stripped‑down soundtrack for Richard Ayoade's Brit flick, Submarine. Recorded in whole, unedited takes by Ford at One Inch Studios in East London in 2010, its six tracks served to remind the pair of the joys of older recording techniques.
"It's a brilliant studio," Ford enthuses. "It's like how you'd imagine Joe Meek's studio to be. It's very 'audiophiley', but there's not much there. There's basically a '60s one‑inch eight‑track tape machine and a mono half‑inch from the '50s that looks like a huge oven, and then a two‑track half‑inch as well. It's just really short signal paths — literally, mic and Pultec preamp.
"Quite a lot of the tracks that we did were literally Alex playing guitar and singing and then me playing piano or Bill Ryder‑Jones [ex‑the Coral] playing guitar. But all around the one mic, a C12, straight into the Pultec and then straight onto the mono half‑inch machine. Some of it was in mono and then on a few tracks, like 'Piledriver Waltz', we went onto the eight‑track machine and had Alex playing guitar and singing. I did drums and piano and bass. But it was all one‑mic drums and a really simple way of recording — we did a little bit of bouncing, and there was a really nice stereo plate, and we used one of the tape machines as a slap [delay].
"It sounded great and we really enjoyed that process of not having to look at a computer, not having the option to tweak and fiddle with things. And Alex is such a good singer and performer — if he's pushed to do it, he can do the whole take in one go. A lot of singers these days would be like, 'Oh you can fix that or tune that in Pro Tools?', and I think that's a really negative thing. I think he really enjoyed being pushed in that way. So it was with that idea that we went on to approach the Arctics' album."
The writing of Suck It And See began with Turner alone, penning songs in his Brooklyn apartment last Summer, where guitarist Jamie Cook then joined him to work on guitar parts. Subsequently, the foursome convened in an East London synagogue in autumn 2010 to begin rehearsing and fleshing out the arrangements. An intensive six‑week period followed, with Ford joining the band in the later stages to add his thoughts on the song structures and arrangements and to record live demos on his Zoom H4N digital recorder.
"Some of the tracks were Alex's more introspective sort of songs, some of them were jammy rehearsal‑room type things and stuff they'd been doing in soundchecks, like 'Brick By Brick'. I was very keen for everything to be sorted out before we even thought about going to the studio. That was one of my kind of specifications: that it had to be able to be played, all the lyrics written, all the structures done. We actually had a two‑mics‑in‑the‑room version of the whole album before Christmas."
Underlining his unofficial role as fifth member of Arctic Monkeys, Ford says the band are generally open to his arrangement ideas. "I'll happily get involved wherever they need me. Like, I remember in 'She's Thunderstorms', for instance, just trying to get it to flow and suggesting going to the middle eight early. Those sort of things probably happened on every song. But it's not me dictating that it has to go like that, it's just lots of different suggestions. It's a collaborative process, I suppose. Having someone else around just gives them an extra kind of push in a different direction that they wouldn't have gone in on their own."
Ford says he intentionally resisted the temptation to demo the songs in a more elaborate fashion. "It's that 'demo‑itis' thing," he reasons. "I didn't want the rehearsal room recordings to be too good in a way, 'cause you can kind of get attached to them. And obviously everyone had them and listened to them over Christmas, so it was more of a functional thing."
Having worked on previous albums with Arctic Monkeys at various studios, including Miloco, Eastcote and Konk in London, The Motor Museum in Liverpool and Mission Sound in New York, Ford has a clear idea of what the band look for in a recording facility. "They've never been fans of big, fancy, all‑singing, all‑dancing studios. So it's more about trying to find a place that's got a bit of a vibe that they can relax into. They don't really like the kind of studio where you press a button and the walls move. It has to be a bit more real. But it's a little bit slapdash sometimes about where we go. It Depends on the availabilities."
Early on in the planning stages of the recording of Suck It And See, the band decided that they were keen to return to California, scene of the Humbug sessions. Initially, the team had their eye on Shangri‑La Studios in Malibu, originally built for Bob Dylan and the Band. Due to its unavailability, however, they were forced to look elsewhere, settling on Sound City Studios in Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles.
Renowned for its drum sound — as famously showcased on Nirvana's Nevermind — Sound City was formerly a warehouse‑cum‑small studio owned by Vox Amplification in the 1960s, before being refitted in the early '70s. Here, during that era, it bore classic recordings by the likes of Neil Young (After The Goldrush), Fleetwood Mac (Rumours) and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (Damn The Torpedoes). Part of the studio's appeal is that its décor has barely been updated since, and so it retains a certain shabby chic. "There'd be a weird little cubby hole where Stevie Nicks had kept a bed," Ford says. "It had a nice sense of history. You could tell it had seen some dark days."
The fact that Sound City doesn't even offer an in‑house Pro Tools rig further appealed to Ford and the band, who were keen to record to two‑inch tape. And so the main attraction to the studio for the team was chiefly its custom‑built Neve 8028 desk and Studer A800 Mark II 24‑track. "Of the 24 tracks on the tape machine," the producer says, "we had to leave a track free for the code because we wanted automation on the mix. So it was 23 tracks, basically."
In discussing their ideas for the production of the album, Ford and the band decided that they wanted a Steve Albini‑fashioned natural, roomy sound. "I wanted it to feel like you were standing in the room with them," Ford says, "and you could hear the space around the drums. I didn't want just a garagey sound.
"We actually stayed in Hollywood and then drove over Laurel Canyon every day out to the valley. They took all their own guitar amps and stuff that we've used quite a lot before — great old Selmer and Magnatone amps. We knew what we were doing, really. I've been in quite a few sessions where it's pretty up in the air and there's just too many things to think about, so it's harder to concentrate on the actual sonics and the performance. This time it was much easier in that respect."
Setting the band up in the live room at Sound City so that they were closely grouped and facing one other, Ford tried to recreate a rehearsal room‑like atmosphere for the initial tracking. "We kept the drum miking pretty minimal again," he says. "We tried not to go for 40 mics on the kit, as some people do. We had a really good drum tech who came in — and I can drum tech a bit as well — so we basically ended up using this one old Ludwig kit throughout the whole thing. A really big, open kit sound was what we wanted."
Inspired by producer Glyn Johns' pared‑down approach to drum miking, Ford and engineer James R Brown set up various configurations involving the Coles 4038 ribbon mic and the Josephson E22, alongside the trusty Neumann U47s and Shure SM57s. "I don't think we had a hat mic, or if we did, we didn't use it. We had Neumann U67s out in the room and we tried PZMs on the floor, but we didn't end using those either."
The plan from here on in was fairly simple: record a track a day. "They'd be all facing [drummer] Matt [Helders], playing live," Ford says. "Sometimes we had the amps in the room, sometimes the amps were in iso booths. We'd get them playing and track it all live, really. Drums, bass, two guitars and we had a [Shure] SM7 on the vocal so we could use it if needs be. We'd generally do three takes and come in and listen through and pick the best one. But we didn't do any tape edits.
"Quite a lot of the time we ended up going over the vocal, but something like 'Library Pictures' is the vocal from the actual live take. Then we'd maybe double the guitar or do any drop‑ins, but to be honest there weren't that many. We overdubbed guitar solos a few times and there was the odd bit of percussion here and there. But pretty much what we heard is what you get."
In terms of the musicians' individual setups, bassist Nick O'Malley generally used a Fender Precision through an Ampeg SVT rig, miked using variously the Blue Mouse, a Neumann U47 or an Electro‑Voice RE20. "I'm a huge fan of the Fender Precision, especially a good old one," the producer says. "It's just solid and it plays well. We tried a distortion pedal now and again but I'm much more in favour of just cranking the amp up. You could hit the SVT pretty hard. We also took a DI, which we used now and again in the mix."
Alex Turner's rig typically featured him playing his faithful Fender Bronco — or occasionally a Gibson Les Paul — through his crocodile‑skin Selmer Zodiac and '60s Magnatone amps. "Al does more rhythmy stuff, and for that it was just pretty straight, quite bright and punchy into the Selmer. We sometimes ran that and his old Magnatone at the same time. It has a really nice vibrato on it and reverb. So sometimes we'd mix those two signals together, but just onto the one track."
A new sonic development for Arctic Monkeys on Suck It And See are the saturated Electro‑Harmonix Big Muff‑styled lead breaks that feature throughout — played mostly by Turner, but also by Jamie Cook. "It isn't a Big Muff actually," Ford points out. "But we were trying to get that Les Paul neck-pickup sound. They've got quite a few of those weird, boutiquey fuzz pedals that give you that warm, creamy fuzz, so we used that for the solos mainly. There was one called the [Coopersonic] Valve Slapper that we used quite a lot."
Cook's guitar setup revolves around a '60s Simms Watts rig and custom‑built Rosewell Bluesman, though for the Sound City sessions, he also borrowed engineer James Brown's Audio Kitchen Big Chopper amp. For more ambient sounds, he'd plug into various toys, including a WEM Copicat or Roland Space Echo, Electro‑Harmonix Holiest Grail reverb pedal and Fulltone Deja Vibe stereo phase/chorus.
"Cookie does either the spacey, watery, roomy sounds," says Ford, "which were vibrato and reverb and a bit of echo. Or he does the kind of heavy, single‑note type of stuff. We used the Audio Kitchen for his heavier stuff — it had a Vox AC30 sort of vibe, but with a bit more presence and clarity. His live take would be close‑miked, and then we'd bring the amp into the room and maybe double it with a distant mic, Jimi Hendrix‑style, from the other side of the room."
Vocal‑wise, Alex Turner would generally commit his parts to tape very quickly in the evening on the day of tracking. "We'd just do a few takes and choose the best one," Ford says. "Now and again we'd comp a better bridge in from another take, or whatever. But really the actual editing side of it was minimal. I've worked on things where people are comping between syllables, but it's pretty miserable. I actually think the sound of Pro Tools and that kind of editing is the sound that will date from this era. I think what people want to hear in a record is humanity and another soul there performing. And the more that you manipulate and fuck with that, the further away that thing gets. Obviously, there are some bits that are a little bit out of tune. But there is that unreasonable standard of perfection these days, where everything is so in‑tune and in‑time that you notice if anything strays slightly from that.
"Mic‑wise, we had a shoot‑out between the Neumann U67 and the Bock 251, which was another of James Brown's interventions. I'd normally use a 67 on Al, and there was the odd time we used an SM7 for a bit more of a crunchy sort of thing. But I'd say 90 percent of the vocals were through this green Bock."
Another new feature of the Arctic Monkeys' sound on this fourth album is their massed harmonies, mainly recorded by Matt Helders, Alex Turner and — down in the bass register — Nick O'Malley. "Matt does a lot of singing on this. He does most of the BVs live and he's a good singer in his own right, so we pushed him quite hard to do quite a lot of BVs. Alex did the odd one here and there and they did some together, Queen‑style, round the same mic. Nick does a really low number on 'Brick By Brick'. But most of the time it was Matt."
Proving there was no producer rivalry between Ford and Josh Homme, the Queens Of The Stone Age frontman popped by one evening to add his voice to 'All My Own Stunts'. "I suppose it's the most Humbug‑y of the tracks on there," Ford says. "It was just this kind of snakey BV that Al did, and you could just tell it was made for Josh to sing. I remember being quite intimidated by him. I think I looked really stoned, and once he'd done a vocal, I found giving him my critique of it quite difficult [laughs]. He's quite a big man. But he was really sweet and he pretty much did it first time."
If the process of recording the album sounds entirely painless, Ford admits that there were, in fact, moments of stress. "Just keeping the momentum going was the difficult thing," he says. "We literally did a track a day, and we didn't have that much time for things to go wrong, really. We wanted to stick to this self‑imposed schedule. I remember pushing quite hard on the BVs and the vocals. There were some more stressy moments in that sort of way."
Apart from one nameless track that was abandoned, it was the sweetly poppy 'Piledriver Waltz' that proved the most difficult in Ford's mind, mainly because he'd already recorded it with Turner for the Submarine soundtrack. "Obviously, because me and Alex had lived with that song for quite a long time, it was almost 'demo‑itis'. Doing a different version of a song is always a really hard thing to do, especially with the same people involved. Maybe it was just in my own head. At one point I think we were maybe gonna leave it off, but it's such a good song and the band playing it really does bring an extra element to it."
When it came to mix time, Ford and the band brought in Craig Silvey, whose recent work with Arcade Fire (see SOS November 2010: /sos/nov10/articles/it‑1110.htm) and the Horrors they had much admired. Silvey moved the sessions on to Studio 2 at Sunset Sound in LA, where he mixed Suck It And See on a Neve 8088 with Flying Faders. "Craig we've all met before," Ford points out. "We didn't want it to be just handed out to some random person. And obviously Craig's brilliant and he's just off the back of lots of stuff we really like, so he seemed like an obvious choice. And also he's from that area of the world and so he knows the studios.
"We wanted to keep it in the analogue domain and Craig is very used to that kind of work. To be honest, a lot of the stuff on tape came off sounding pretty good anyway. The monitor mixes sounded great and some of the final mixes weren't hugely different. Craig just added that little bit of detail and something extra."
Generally, Ford and the band would leave Silvey to set up each daily mix, turning up late afternoon to oversee any tweaks. "I don't think it's really healthy for the band to hear the ins and outs of the EQ of the kick drum [laughs]. I think for them to be able to walk in and be objective — and myself as well — it's better to leave the mix engineer to it. Then you can listen to the monitor mix and hear what's changed and what's better and what's worse. Then make a few changes — drive this up, wet that up. He had a nice little setup of laptop speakers in another room, so we had an extra reference. Then we'd take it out and we'd drive around and play it in the car.
"'She's Thunderstorms' was a tricky one. It's the cymbals thing — I always think loads and loads of kind of swoshy ride cymbals makes it harder to get that sense of space. With 'The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala', we added an extra guitar part actually at the mix, which was quite mad. A weird, descend‑y guitar part. Most of the time, we didn't have to make loads of changes. We were all on the same page."
Ultimately, Suck It And See is a triumph, since it audibly bristles with the live energy that Ford and the group were trying to capture. Remarkably, tracking and mixing took only five weeks in total. "It was one of the quickest recording sessions I've ever been part of," Ford attests.
For the listener, it's clear that Arctic Monkeys are still developing at an impressively rapid rate. And for his part, James Ford, from his producer's chair, is thrilled to be able to witness the band's progress. "Obviously, because they started with such a big record and such a big statement," he says, "they can't just repeat and repeat that. That isn't gonna work. But of all the people I've worked with, they really are super, super talented. I think they'll just keep developing and keep moving forward. There's a quality to that that you can't argue with." .

The 'Fashion Police' host, who was placed in a medically-induced coma after she went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during minor throat surgery on Thursday (28.08.14), is "receiving the best treatment and possible care," according to her daughter, Melissa Rivers.
The TV producer told E! News: "Her condition remains serious but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible.
"We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts as we pray for her recovery."
The family have been inundated with messages of support since news of the 81-year-old comedienne's health scare emerged.
And Melissa, 46, said: "My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world."
Joan appeared in "good spirits" the night before the surgery when she cracked jokes about death during a performance at Laurie Beechman Theatre on Wednesday night (27.08.14).
She told the audience: "I'm 81 - I could go at any moment. I could fall over right here and you all could say, 'I was there!' "

When you go out to eat at a restaurant, do you usually order an appetizer and/or a dessert?
I LOVE appetizers, but don't usually order unless a. I'm starving or b. its a long, relaxing dinner
Dessert is rare too, except these days I want it all the time
We order appetizers here and there, especially when we're out with friends or have a coupon. I only order dessert maybe once or twice a year at restaurants and usually it's because I went there specifically for something (like fried ice cream at the Mexican place by our house)
With a group apitizers but just me sometimes desert. Usually pregnant tho
I much prefer salty/savory over sweet as a general rule so I'm into appetizers over dessert. I'm like you Ashley; rarely order dessert out at a restaurant. If we get an appetizer or not is not a consistent thing. It's usually too much food to have an appetizer and a meal, especially for the price I don't find it to be justified. I almost always will add a salad though if it doesn't come with. I love a good salad.
Only if I am out to eat with my family, DH isn't a fan of being in public spaces too much (unless it's something he wants to do pffft) so we usually just get the main course and go. When I am out with my family though, it is a long event and we take our time.
We sometimes order appetizers. I never order dessert. We love to go to Applebee's after 9:00 for their half priced apps. We will go and order a few appetizers. We can eat for about $15 and bring home leftovers!
Never dessert. Unless we are out with the IL's or something.
Sometimes DH and I will order an appy to share before the meal - or sometimes we will just order 3 appy's and have that for our meal We rarely eat out though. Maybe once every 4-6 months. Usually just on a special occasion or when my IL's are in town. When we were dating we used to eat out more, and we loved those appy combo's!
I LOVE appies. I'm totally a savory girl too. I can't (and shouldn't) eat an appy AND a meal so I don't normally do that. I might share an appy with someone but more often when it's DH and I we share and appy AND share a meal. It works out great.
I don't have much of a sweet tooth so I rarely get desert.
We really only go to 2 restaurants now. One which has all day breakfast, in which case we just order our breakfasts. The second which is a buffet style pay by weight. At the second, we get desserts (especially since they have gluten free & soy free desserts for me :) ) which I can't say about a lot of other places. We also consider desserts if out with the family (especially if someone else is paying!)
We normally order an appetizer but not always. I usually end up taking half of my entree home. Sometimes we order dessert.. especially if it's one DH will eat bc we will share. That said.. we LOVE Chili's and do the 2/$20 meal a lot and it comes with an appetizer.
I never have a huge appetite (although its worse pregnant!) so I actually will often order am appetizer as my meal. It usually feels me up plenty.

Patriots' Stevan Ridley out for Week 5; Gronk, Amendola questionable
With the way the Patriots injury report is looking this week, Tom Brady might have to throw the ball and hand it off to himself on Sunday.
Running back Stevan Ridley has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Cincinnati. Ridley hasn't practiced all week due to a knee injury. However, it's unclear when Ridley actually suffered the injury. Ridley played all four quarters in New England's Week 4 win over Atlanta.
The 24-year-old running back, who's never missed a game in his three-year career, finished the win over the Falcons with a season-high 53-yards rushing.
Ridley's injury should mean more carries for LeGarrette Blount, who might be the only completely healthy running back on the field for New England on Sunday. Running backs Leon Washington (thigh) and Brandon Bolden (knee) are both listed as questionable.
The Patriots wide receivers are banged up too. Danny Amendola (groin), Kenbrell Thompkins (shoulder), Matthew Slater (wrist) and Aaron Dobson (neck) are all listed as questionable, meaning New England feels each player has a 50 percent chance of playing.
Of course, there's also tight end Rob Gronkowski. For the third straight week, Gronkowski (back/forearm) is listed as questionable. Gronkowski said earlier this week that he's on the same page as the Patriots as far as his rehab and return go, but what page that is and when he's going to return is still unclear.

During 2006–2008, a team at North Carolina State University College of Textiles in Raleigh investigated possible designs for a new patient gown and the market opportunity for such a product.
The work was the first phase of an effort to create an innovative, functional and aesthetically pleasing health care garment to replace the skimpy, tie-in-the-back gowns now widely used by hospitals and-for reasons of modesty and comfort—widely disliked by the people who wear them: the patients.
The team surveyed patients, health care providers and hospital purchasing agents to get their perspectives on the issue. The team also:
Analysis of survey results revealed that patients, health care providers and those in the supply chain had different priorities for the design of a new patient garment. The team's synthesis of the relationship of these priorities will inform the next phases of the effort to develop a new patient garment.
There have been many past attempts to introduce new patient garments and "modesty accessories," such as supplemental robes, but none of these products has won broad acceptance.
Sixty percent of the former hospital patients surveyed said they "disliked" or "disliked very much" wearing the traditional hospital gown; 45 percent reported the gown was uncomfortable.
Of the physicians, nurses and other hospital caregivers surveyed, 79 percent said the patient gown "sometimes" interfered with administering IVs, catheters, feeding tubes or other medical devices. Asked if they thought the gown affected the patient's emotional well being, 69 percent said "sometimes" and 19 percent said "always."

John Cusack is one of those rare actors who can convincingly look as if he is thinking about words of many syllables. He seems smart, and that's crucial for the character he plays in "Grosse Pointe Blank,'' because like so many really smart people, this one is clueless about matters of the heart.
Cusack plays Martin Q. Blank, a professional assassin who is more articulate while discussing his kills with a shrink than while explaining to his high school sweetheart why he stood her up at the prom.
As the movie opens, he's preparing to do a job with a high-powered rifle, while simultaneously discussing his busy schedule with his office manager (played by his real-life sister, Joan Cusack). She thinks he should attend his 10th high school reunion in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, Mich. He thinks not. He misses on the assassination attempt, however, and that leads to an interesting coincidence: He can redeem himself by pulling a job in Detroit--killing two birds, so to speak, with one stone.
He discusses his plight with his psychiatrist (Alan Arkin), a man alarmed to learn he has a hit man for a client.
"I don't think what a person does for a living is necessarily who he is,'' Blank observes reassuringly, but the shrink gives the impression of a man constantly holding himself in readiness to take a bullet.
Cusack plays Blank as a man who entered his chosen profession with good skills and high spirits, but is now beginning to entertain doubts about its wisdom as a lifelong career. He has no qualms about killing people (someone has to do it, and as a character in the film observes, it's a "growth industry''). But for him, it's getting to be the same old same old. Against his better judgment, he caves in and heads for Michigan.
Grosse Pointe may hold the key to why Martin's life seems on hold. Unfinished business waits for him there: a woman named Debi (Minnie Driver), whom he loved in high school, but stood up at the senior prom.
Tooling through town in a rented car, he hears her voice on the radio and is soon peering through the window of the local radio station. She's a deejay, who smoothly segues into asking her listeners how she should feel when her prom date turns up 10 years late.
Another major player in Martin's life is Mr. Grocer (Dan Aykroyd), also a professional assassin, who wants Martin to join a union he is forming: "We could be working together again, for chrissakes! Making big money! Killing important people!'' He is also in Grosse Pointe, possibly on the same assignment, and soon Blank and Grocer are seated uneasily across from each other at a diner, both armed and both dangerous, mostly to each other.
The film takes the form but not the feel of a comic thriller. It's quirkier than that. The underlying plot, which also involves Martin being shadowed by assorted mysterious types who want to kill him, is not original. But the screenplay, by Cusack, Tom Jankiewicz and others, uses that story as a backdrop for Martin Blank's wry behavior. It's not often that a film about professional killers has a high school reunion dance as its centerpiece, and rarer still that the hero kills someone during the dance and disposes of the body in the school boiler.
I enjoyed the exchanges between Cusack and Driver as the couple on a long-delayed date. Affection still smolders between them, and it was sexy the way Driver casually put an arm around Cusack's shoulders, her hand resting possessively on the back of his neck. I liked the dialogue, too, and the assortment of classmates they encounter. Have you ever noticed that whatever odd qualities your friends had in school seem to grow as the years go by? Despite these qualities, the movie for me is a near-miss. One of the problems is the conclusion, in which things are resolved with an elaborate action sequence. This sequence may have been intended ironically, but the gunshots are just as loud as if they were sincere. Too many movies end like video games, with characters popping up and shooting each other. "Grosse Pointe Blank,'' which takes such a detached view toward killing and has such an articulate hero, could have done better.

"Every newsletter we have a piece of the diary," said Dee. "It really puts a face to our community over 100 years ago ... it connects the present to the past."
And Heritage Day strives to do the same thing. Keeping with the theme, many of the vendors and events hearken to days gone by. William Valosian will be giving a tinsmithing demonstration, the Mt. Treadler Fiber Arts Guild will have a demonstration on yarn and groups like the Onesquethaw Union Cemetery Association and New Scotland Historical Association will be on hand. There will be plenty of wares for sale from local artisans and farms.
A car show is probably the biggest attraction overall, and will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 35 judged awards will be handed out, and lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. right at the Clarksville Community Church.
For those who want to make a full day of the event, three square meals will be available. In addition to the lunch mentioned above, the Onesquethaw Volunteer Fire Company will be having a buffet-style breakfast at the Clarksville Firehouse from 7:30-10:30 a.m. " $8 buys all you can eat.
From 4:30-10 p.m., Jake Moon Restaurant and Cafe will host a lobster and clam bake backyard barbeque at its location at 2082 Delaware Turnpike. A take-out only chicken barbecue will also be held by the Onesquethaw Fish and Game Club from 3-6 p.m.
Additionally, the Historical Society will be selling ice cream donated by Stewarts and the Toll Gate, and Meadow Brook Farms will host a bake sale.
There will once again be a 50/50 drawing and raffle with some substantial prizes. First place is $1,000 cash, second is an iPad, third is a stainless steel turkey cooker, fourth a pop-up canopy tent and fifth a $150 Visa gift card. The drawing is at 3:30 p.m. and tickets are $5. There will also be a silent auction kicking off at 2:30 p.m.
Heritage Day will largely take place at the Clarksville Community Church, on the Delaware Turnpike. Parking will also be available at Clarksville Elementary School, with the Town of New Scotland senior bus acting as shuttle to the church. Events will be held rain or shine. Attendees are encouraged to make the Clarksville Historical Society table their first stop to pick up information on all the day's activities, including the village-wide garage sale.""

WASHINGTON (AP) — The massive teacher strike in Chicago offers a high-profile test for the nation's teacher unions, which have seen their political influence threatened as a growing reform movement seeks to expand charter schools, get private companies involved with failing schools and link teacher evaluations to student test scores.
Union leaders are taking a major stand on teacher evaluations, one of the key issues in the Chicago dispute. If they lose there, it could have ripple effects around the country.
The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association — the nation's two largest teacher unions — have been playing defense in jurisdictions around the country as Republicans and Democrats alike seek greater concessions in a bid to improve ailing public schools.
After decades of growth in membership and influence, the unions now are in a weaker position, said Rick Hess of the American Enterprise Institute, a nonpartisan think tank.
"They are playing on more hostile terrain and they are facing opponents the likes of which they have not had to face before," Hess said.
Members of the Chicago Teachers Union — the AFT's oldest local — walked off the job Monday for the first time in 25 years over issues that include pay raises, classroom conditions, job security and teacher evaluations.
They are pitted against Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a powerful Democrat — and former chief of staff to President Barack Obama — who wants to extract more concessions from teachers while the school district faces a nearly $700 million deficit.
With the weak economy, unions have seen massive teacher layoffs, increased class sizes and school districts unable or unwilling to boost teacher salaries.
The 2.2-million member NEA has lost more than 100,000 members since 2010, as fewer public school teachers are hired and more charter schools open, most of which are not unionized. At the 1.5 million-member AFT, years of steady growth have leveled off.
In the past, teachers unions could count on a Democratic White House to fight back on their behalf. But Obama's education secretary, Arne Duncan, is a former head of Chicago Public Schools who has pushed for many of the changes that unions oppose.
"In many ways the Obama administration has signed onto the very conservative set of reforms that the education community is imposing on teachers," said Richard Kahlenberg of the Century Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.
Evaluating teachers on how much their students improve is a key component of Obama's education policy. His administration has approved waivers freeing many states from the most onerous requirements of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law. In order to get a waiver, each state had to promise to show in other ways that its students and schools are improving, and to more closely link teacher evaluations to student test scores.
The Chicago union argues that the new teacher evaluation system relies too heavily on standardized test scores without considering outside factors such as student poverty, violence and homelessness that can affect performance.
