writing music down
How in the world do i write music down and structure it i know my theory i know note values i know how to structure the music i make in a time signature in a painful way id really like to skip that part if its possible. I do not know how to write music in the traditional sense of notation. I tab on papper and record my stuff, i write to remember the pattern of the music i came up with and record to remember the rhythm of the music it seems i am taking unnecessary steps in the writing process, and i just do not know where to turn.
This is what will usually happen when i am trying to write ill come up with a chord progression lets say in Am its a 1 4 3 4 5 1 its for the chorus so i am like ok this is cool i like this progression so now i am like ok yay its melody time, and now this is usually the part were things go astray ill improv and come up with like 50 different melodies over this progression that i like, and then what happens is ill just end up improving over this progression for the next 2 hours getting no where with writing. Or ill focus in on the melody i like over the progression Tab it out record it.
Then ill come up now with a totally different melody using that same pattern i used for the other melody and like it more then so on and so on, I just cant stay focused writing i end up getting lost in a improvisational bliss and i cant escape and stay focused i am tired of just improving i want to compose these ideas i have in to song but i just do not know were to start or what to use to make the writing process more painless i thinks i have a case of musical Adhd help.

If your music is like your writing then you do have a problem with structure.
Why not use something like Guitar Pro, where you can enter music in tab or notation along with note durations? You can then play with the structure and save it whenever you want.
When you've added a decent melody move on to the next part of the song. Stop tinkering with it. Stop improvising. Stop messing around. Move on. You can always come back to it later if you suddenly have a brilliant idea to improve it. But only change it if you're convinced you can really improve it. Don't just start improvising again. Your new improvs aren't going to be better than what you had before.

As far as writing, learn to do it, it's simpler than you may think. Maybe a Fast Track book or something.
On composing my greatest advice would be concentrate and persevere. There will come hard parts though, like taking the melody. So, for that I suggest that you play what's in your head once. Listen to the progression a couple times and use the idea that keeps going through your mind. Learn it.

I do the same thing. The best advice I can give you is that if you come up with new melodies over the same chord pattern, file those away as potential NEW songs. But if you keep revising what you're playing the song will never be finished.
As far as the actual writing of the notes... unless you're writing for other people it's really just whatever works for you. Personally I'll usually write out the tabs to what I'm playing, then record the audio to remember my strumming patterns, etc. But if a simple chord progression written out on a napkin is all you need, that's cool too.
Another thing to consider - you might find that you're less likely to keep changing somebody else's songs the way you do with your own. Get together with some rhythm players and let them worry about creating the framework and melody of a song. Then you can live in improv bliss while you solo over their work

With the snowstorm over, Gov. Rick Snyder is expected to take action on a stack of bills approved by Michigan lawmakers.
Snyder has been away from the state capital but took dozens of bills to his Ann Arbor-area home before Christmas. The storm made travel hazardous Wednesday and had an impact on his staff's plans to file bills in Lansing with the official state seal.
Spokeswoman Sara Wurfel says bill signings should pick up through the rest of the week.
The House and Senate approved about 300 bills before adjourning on Dec. 14.
Legislation still awaiting Snyder's possible signature includes new rules for abortion clinics and a replacement for the emergency manager law that was repealed by voters

In Memory of Levon Helm
Levon Helm, drummer-vocalist for The Band, died on April 19 at the age of 71. In the flurry of critical appreciations that immediately followed, the San Francisco Chronicle's Joel Selvin declared that no singing drummer was ever better. The singing-drummer club may well be a pretty small one, but Selvin was right.
For me, April's passing of Levon Helm felt like a last passing of younger days. As a teenager, my earliest migrations away from the silly music of my youth to the real stuff was The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese's documentary of The Band's 1976 farewell concert in San Francisco.
Shot at the now-gone Winterland Theater, The Last Waltz features an all-star performing cast of 1970s rock and roll musicians including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Wood, EmmyLou Harris and others.
In high school, I spent many nights at my best friend's house on Sanchez Street in San Francisco, watching The Last Waltz with him and his dad on their big-screen TV set. From the opening shots cruising through the dirty, pre-gentrified streets and leveled lots of the City's Fillmore district (which I could only faintly remember from my childhood) to the rousing final number, where the whole motley crew of musicians gathers on stage for a blazing send-off to "I Shall Be released," watching The Last Waltz is like a trip through a time and place that I can scarcely remember –but yet seems completely a part of me.
At the heart of it all was Levon Helm. While rock and roll has had its share of indulgent windbags, here was Helm, singing and talking about music in a straightforward and plainspoken way. I still have no idea how he was able play drums and sing so soulfully at the same time. Watch Helm below in action.
Years ago, when The Last Waltz was rereleased for its 25th anniversary, I got back together with my old pal from high school and his dad to catch it at the Castro Theater. Smuggling in beers in a backpack, we sank in our theater seats for those two hours, whooping it up, reliving the fun times and good music up on the big screen. Again, there was Levon Helm, keeping the backbeat, singing "Up on Cripple Creek," "The Weight," and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," sounding like a time and place now gone for good.
Most of the guys in The Band have since passed on to their great reward. So has my old best friend's dad. So has the friendship itself. They were mostly all casualties, in part, of the lifestyles that both created and claimed those best of times. Now follows Levon Helm.
Every now and then, I break out my DVD copy of The Last Waltz. My wife listens patiently as I share, for the umpteenth time my love for The Band bassist Rick Danko's flared collars, boxer's nose, and shag haircut, Van Morrison's almost-pants-splitting stage kick at the end of "Caravan," Neil Young's hauntingly sentimental harmonica solo to open "Helpless," and other priceless moments.
I can never help but think about those rainy San Francisco nights when I learned how deep great music can run through one's being.

Royals agree to terms with Billy Butler and Alberto Callaspo
The Royals announced today that the club has agreed to terms on 2010 Major League contracts with first baseman Billy Butler and infielder Alberto Callaspo. Consistent with club policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed. All players are now signed for the 2010 season.
The 23-year old Butler, the 2009 Les Milgram Player of the Year, led the club with a .301 average, 93 RBI and 51 doubles last season. He also belted 21 home runs in tying for sixth in the league with 73 extra-base hits. The first baseman's 51 doubles were second in the Majors and the second-most all time in Royals history behind Hal McRae's 54 in 1977. The 2009 A.L. Player of the Month for September was selected by the Royals in the first round (14th overall) in 2004.
Callaspo, 26, was named the 2009 Joe Burke Special Achievement Award winner after batting .300 with 41 doubles, eight triples, 11 home runs and 73 RBI. Entering his third season with the Royals after being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitcher Billy Buckner on December 14, 2007, the Venezuelan has hit .302 in 229 games for Kansas City.

PN-Diode Circuit
Application ID: 14623
This model extracts spice parameters for a silicon p-n junction diode. The spice parameters are used to create a lumped-element equivalent circuit model of a half-wave rectifier that is compared to a full device level simulation. In this example, a device model is made by connecting a 2D meshed p-n junction diode to a circuit containing a sinusoidal source, a resistor and a ground to form a basic half-wave rectifier circuit. In order to validate the simulation results, the output of the device simulation is compared with the circuit response obtained using a large signal diode model.

The infamous Barry Zito contract—a massive seven-year, $126 million deal that lured the lefty starter across the bay from Oakland to San Francisco—runs its course after the 2013 season, assuming the Giants opt to pay his $7 million buyout instead of exercising his $18 million option for 2014.
That's good news for the Giants, and other teams see the land of plenty on the distant horizon, too. These ill-advised contracts come off the books after the 2014 season: Alfonso Soriano (eight years, $136 million), Vernon Wells (seven years, $126 million), John Lackey (five years, $82.5 million) and Adam Dunn (four years, $56 million).
Here's a look at the long-term deals that are keeping front office execs up at night.
Money for nothing: A-Rod, Howard top our list of MLB's worst contractsmlb July 18, 2013 11:53pm EDT July 18, 2013 11:45am EDT Alex Rodriguez? Ryan Howard? Albert Pujols? Who has the worst contract in baseball? SN's Ryan Fagan takes a look at the ill-conceived long-term deals that are keeping front office executives up at night.
The infamous Barry Zito contract—a massive seven-year, $126 million deal that lured the lefty starter across the bay from Oakland to San Francisco—runs its course after the 2013 season, assuming the Giants opt to pay his $7 million buyout instead of exercising his $18 million option for 2014.
2 Alex Rodriguez, Yankees
Overall deal: 10 years, $275 million
Remaining after 2013: Four years, $86 million
A-Rod, who turns 38 this month, finished in the top 15 of the AL MVP voting each of the first three years of his current deal—that's easy to forget—but since then, he's played in just 221 of the Yankees' 419 regular-season games. His involvement in the Biogenesis scandal is just the latest in a series of headaches the slugger has created for the Yankees' front office, and it's what pushes him above Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard to the top spot on this list. Well, that and the $86 million plus other hefty potential bonuses left on his deal.
3 Ryan Howard, Phillies
Overall deal: Five years, $125 million (plus a $23 million club option with $10 million buyout for sixth year)
Remaining after 2013: Three years, $75 million (plus that club option/huge buyout)
Howard, 33, simply isn't the same fearsome hitter he was when he signed this extension in April 2010. In his first four full seasons in the bigs (2006-09), he was a home run hitter (11.8 AB/HR) who drew plenty of walks (13.5 percent of his plate appearances). From 2010-12, those numbers dipped significantly (17.5 AB/HR, 10.2 walk percentage), and the downward trend has continued its steep decline in 2013 (26.0 AB/HR, 7.3 walk percentage). And his defense at first base, which has never been good, isn't improving at this point. He's a designated hitter playing in the National League.
4 Albert Pujols, Angels
Overall deal: 10 years, $240 million
Remaining after 2013: Eight years, $212 million
Even the most optimistic fans knew the Angels would be massively overpaying Pujols at the end of this back-loaded contract (he's guaranteed another $114 million after he turns 38 in January 2018), but nobody expected this poor of a start (for him and for the Angels) to his career in Los Angeles. If he ever gets fully healthy—which isn't a certainty, considering the nature of his nearly chronic elbow and foot injuries—he can be a productive hitter and first baseman, but the days of finishing top-three in the MVP voting every season seem like a thing of the past. And $212 million is a ton of money, even for the Angels. Just a ton.
5 Jayson Werth, Nationals
Overall deal: Seven years, $126 million
Remaining after 2013: Four years, $83 million
Werth has been a big part of the Nationals' emergence, without a doubt, but the problem is that Werth is being paid like a superstar (average $20.75 million/year) for the remainder of his contract, and he's not a superstar. In his time with the Nationals (2011-present), he's produced a .264 average, .352 on-base percentage and .419 slugging percentage; in that span, 86 other major leaguers with at least 1,000 at-bats have produced an OPS higher than his .771. He'll turn 35 next May and has full no-trade protection.
6 Josh Hamilton, Angels
Overall deal: Five years, $125 million
Remaining after 2013: Four years, $98 million
Obviously, Hamilton is just a few months into this contract, so there's plenty of time to keep this out of the disaster range. But, he was pretty awful in the first half of 2013 (.224 average, .696 OPS), and this is a massively back-loaded deal. Hamilton will get $30 million in 2016 and another $30 million in 2017, his age 35 and 36 seasons.
7 Carl Crawford, Dodgers
Overall deal: Seven years, $142 million
Remaining after 2013: Four years, $82.5 million
The best thing to happen to Crawford since signing this massive deal with the Red Sox—other than looking at his bank statement—was getting out of Boston. Sometimes, the marriage of a team and a player just doesn't work, and that was the case during his two injury-plagued seasons in Massachusetts. He's been solid when healthy for the Dodgers in 2013, but he's already made one trip to the disabled list (strained hamstring), which isn't what the Dodgers wanted to see.
8 B.J. Upton, Braves
Overall deal: Five years, $75.25 million
Remaining after 2013: Four years, $59.8 million
The soft-spoken Upton has been anemic offensively in his time with the Braves. He hit .177 in the first half of 2013, with more than twice as many strikeouts (102) as base hits (49). Atlanta was criticized by some for giving such a hefty contract to Upton, a player with strikeout tendencies and a career .744 OPS, and that chorus will continue to get louder unless he somehow halts this abrupt slide into Mendoza land. He doesn't turn 29 until August, though, so he still should be at or near the prime of his career.
9 Mark Teixeira, Yankees
Overall deal: Eight years, $180 million
Remaining after 2013: three years, $67.5 million
The Yankees' hope is that Teixeira comes back from his season-ending wrist surgery at 100 percent next spring, without any decrease in power for his age 34 season. But injuries are a concern, and that average annual value ($22.5 million) is a concern, even for the Yankees. In the first seven years of his career, Teixeira produced a .290/.378/.545 slash line; over the past four years, he's at .249/.345/.479.

Community college administrations overlap
Story by
Erica Perez and Agustin Armendariz
The state's 72 community college districts spend tens of millions of dollars on administrative positions that could be consolidated or shared by districts a short drive away, a California Watch analysis has found.
In the wake of huge budget shortfalls, California's vast community college system has reduced its core academic functions – slashing millions of dollars by eliminating nearly a quarter of class sections, cutting services and laying off employees. At the start of the fall 2012 semester, more than 470,000 students had been waitlisted for classes at community colleges statewide. But millions of dollars still are spent on duplicative administrative costs.
More than half of the state's community college districts are within 20 miles of another district. And the vast majority of those districts have a single college. If these districts shared administrators, they potentially could shave millions off their expenses.
Take the Riverside, Mt. San Jacinto and Desert community college districts, all in Riverside County. Together, they operate five colleges with three chancellor's offices, three human resources departments, three finance offices, three facilities departments and three academic affairs offices, not to mention three boards of trustees.
The cost of employing the 15 executives who lead these departments, plus one or two support staff for each, totals nearly $6 million. The cost of running the three boards, including elections, legal support, stipends, benefits, support staff and travel expenses, equals nearly $1.7 million, records show.
The three districts employed more than 130 executives in total in 2010.
If the three districts could consolidate and whittle their bureaucracies down to one chancellor, one board and one head of each big administrative office, the savings would total $4.9 million – money that could, for example, pay for 960 additional class sections.
Riverside Community College District Chancellor Gregory Gray believes the savings could be even bigger.
"In this one district alone, you could easily save $5, $6, $7 million," he said. "Multiply that up and down the state and you get a big number."
Asked whether the system should consider merging some districts to save money, Gray didn't hesitate. "Without a doubt and unquestionably, the answer to that is we should do that," he said.
For many of the community college districts, the potential savings may never be realized because the system of local districts is so deeply entrenched. In fact, obscure statutes in the California Education Code make it all but impossible to save money through merging districts – at least in the short run.
Students have borne the brunt of cuts to the system. They have been slapped with fees that have risen 130 percent in the past five years and have been unable to get into the classes they need. But the status quo has been protected.
The state's community college system isn't the only place in California's $92 billion budget where excess can be found. California Watch chose to zero in on the college system because of its sheer size and because it touches so many lives. Some 2.4 million students attend community college classes.
California's community college system is the largest in the nation and the backbone of higher education in the state, serving the vast majority of the state's college students at the lowest price with the greatest number of locations. The system is especially essential now, as President Barack Obama has pushed for greater resources for community colleges to shore up the country's workforce through job training and education.
California Watch reporters examined parts of the state community college system's bureaucracy to identify spending patterns and understand why reforms may prove elusive.

I seriously can't be the only thinking that these two are the most fucking useless "sidekicks" in the history of sidekicks? They can't shoot the fucking broad side of a barn, they constantly have to be standing 6 inches away from you in a fire fight and when you crouch down they almost always stand in front of you.

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Well, I'm awesome, so I haven't had any problems with them. Especially since I waited until I beat the game before I started the Drug Wars. Yusef's SMG can clear out a whole rival gang in no time.
Same here, never had a problem with them.
Apparently, Synch does acid rather than smoking weed...
synch is a fucking walking fallout 3 wikipedia lol...

'Tis not my job to baby sit them, just a large annoyance. Especially when they sit in the vehicle while it's burning and I'm standing there trying not to believe these two jackasses sit there and i have to redo that whole drug war, 'cause they felt like getting blown the fuck up.
I've done at least two drug wars where both of them were killed and I still took the stuff back to the drop off point. And in the cutscene Luis was just standing by himself.
However, I think they're more useful than the gang members in TL&D.

Exactly, the only survivor necessary to win a drug war is LL. And A&H are ready for another war as if nothing had happened.

The only problem with losing Henrique and Armando is you lose a bit of the money, maybe to pay for their hospital bills?.
It looks like $1000 each.

Doug Gordon, one of New York's finest bike bloggers, author of BrooklynSpoke, was back in Amsterdam this week. We asked Mark Wagenbuur (of BicycleDutch fame) to join us on Saturday and roll around town. We got together on Dam Square and Mark asked: "What's the plan?"
"Plan? No plan, buddy, we're just going to wing it." The day's forecast supported that proposition, so we took off for something that quite quickly and naturally morphed into an impromptu beer tasting tour, sprinkled with conversations on topics close to our hearts. Life really is that easy.
Bikes and beers should be on the UN's list of tools for peace and better understanding.

Perserverance: Irving Falu's triple
Irving Falu had his contract selected from Omaha last Thursday after 949 minor league games. He made his debut yesterday and tripled in his first at-bat, finishing 2-for-4 with a run scored. KC's 21st round pick in 2003, Falu is tied with Mitch Maier for the longest tenure of a player in the organization (Maier was selected in the first round that year).
The mark of 949 games make Falu the answer to an interesting trivia question: "Which player originally signed by the Royals played the most minor league games before making his debut as a Royal?" Second on the list is outfielder Mike Brewer, who was KC's first round pick in the January phase in 1979. Brewer debuted on June 11, 1986. (For the record, Brewer was traded to Cleveland early in the 1985 season. He played in the minors for the Tribe that season and was traded back to KC in September. He began 1986 with Omaha before debuting with KC). Special thanks to Royals Hall of Fame director Curt Nelson for his research on this subject!

Royals honor 2012 minor league award winners
The Royals this morning at the club's Spring Training complex in Surprise, Ariz., honored six individuals with minor league awards for the 2012 season.
Brett Eibner, recipient of the Frank White Defensive Player of the Year – recognizing the organization's top defensive player. Eibner, 24, was the Royals' second round selection in the 2010 Draft. He played the entire 2012 season with High-A Wilmington, serving as the Blue Rocks' primary centerfielder for the campaign, recording five outfield assists and leading the club's regular outfielders with a .977 fielding percentage.
Alex McClure, recipient of the Mike Sweeney Award – recognizing a player who best represents the organization on and off the field. The 23-year-old McClure split his 2012 season between Wilmington and Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The infielder was a regular at several community visits for both clubs and also was a large part of the Naturals' Faith and Family Day celebration.
Terrance Gore, recipient of the Willie Wilson Award – recognizing the organization's top baserunner. Gore, 21, stole an Appalachian League-leading 36 bases in 38 attempts while playing 2012 with Burlington. The Macon, Ga., resident was the Royals' 20th round selection in the 2011 Draft.
Victor Baez, recipient of the Dick Howser Player Development Person of the Year – recognizing an outstanding member of player development. Baez, the Royals' Dominican Academy Coordinator, is currently in his sixth season with the organization. Baez was instrumental last year in helping the Royals move into a brand-new complex in Mojarra, Guerra, 40 minutes east of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
Kevin Linton, Director of Community Affairs with the Wilmington Blue Rocks, is the recipient of the Matt Minker Award – recognizing an outstanding minor league affiliate employee. Linton is currently in his 12th season with Wilmington and is widely recognized for his community work in the Wilmington area.
Colin Gonzales, recipient of the Art Stewart Award – recognizing an outstanding scout. Gonzales is currently the Royals area scout in Southern California and was unable to attend this morning's ceremony. He will be honored prior to a Royals game at Kauffman Stadium at a to-be-determined date.
Congrats to Brett, Alex, Terrance, Victor, Kevin and Colin!

I'm installing Zimbra with a Split DNS setup but I'm running into some significant issues getting the server to see the outside world (e.g. ping google) and resolve the internal DNS appropriately also.
In the wiki page on Split DNS (since I've re-read it multiple times) it mentions editing resolv.conf. The issue however is that resolv.conf is automatically generated in Ubuntu Server 12.04 and the wiki makes no mention of that. It's been supremely frustration so perhaps it would be good for someone to review the steps in light of that fact and edit the wiki where necessary.
So the question is, in Ubuntu Server 12.04, do I add the dns-search domain to the /etc/network/interfaces file or do I add them to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head?
Also, I have other nameservers set up in my interfaces file

Roger Federer's fitness trainer + conditioning coach, Pierre Paganini, sat down for a Q & A with Blick to discuss the Swiss' recent fitness issues which forced him out of Dubai + Davis Cup.
The pair are currently in Dubai, where Fed owns a home, for the next two weeks working on preventative practices. Pierre reiterates the former No.1 is not injured:
- Mr. Paganini, what's going on with Federer? What is he doing?It's interesting that Pierre describes Fed as "a jewel" - solid, precious, luxurious but requiring much care and maintenance.
Paganini: At the moment we give him some time to recover. We intensified the work with his physio therapist. But to make it clear once and for all: Federer is not injured. What we are doing is pure prophylaxis. We are working for the next two weeks in Dubai. Roger also flew in two sparring partners to be able two work on the court.
-Was Federer a 100% fit in Melbourne?
Paganini: Well we have to go further back for this. Roger got injured last November. His injury is cured. Everything was ok in Melbourne. But with so many matches it is not easy to recover 100%. He wasn't impeded in his game. But it meant a lot of stress, the journey, the pressure, etc., so the body's reaction in a stressfull situation and during a normal traning is not the same. He felt it, and that's why we have decided to take a break in order to prevent other injuries from occuring [sic].
-What did you learn from it? Do you have to change something?
Paganini: Well we understood that we have to spend even more time doing physical preparation. This is the priority between the tournaments. Roger wants to pay attention to his body in order to be able to manage those stressfull situations.
- Does that mean that he is going to play fewer tournaments?
Paganini: No, it simplyn [sic] means to plan in a different way, manage the time differently. We have to organise ourselves even better in order to be able to do a proper physical education wherever Roger is.
- Roger is not going to play the Davis Cup. As a Swiss man it must hurt you, but as a fitness coach you must think that it is right.
Paganini: As a fitness coach I always should be against it whenever it concerns the body. You have to recognize that if he would be playing Davis Cup he'd be playing as the team leader. He'd play Friday, Saturday and Sunday non stop. That's just a lot for your body. Roger is like a jewel. And he knows that it would just be too risky.
Anyway, it sounds like the 13-time Grand Slammer is having a more difficult time these days recovering from long matches and tourneys. Clearly it's a product of age but also he may have a harder time, mentally, recovering from these losses when he's so close to making history.
It's a tough cycle: Fed's body naturally begins to give so he puts in tons of effort in preparation for the majors. But when he loses it's a big fall tinged with all kinds of disappointment. So the questions for him become "When does all this physical preparation become too much preparation?" and "How do you recover the mental aspect from the tough loss?" I'm not sure he's had many opportunities in his career to ponder these questions until now. New turf me thinks.
I'd say the next couple of Grand Slams, where he'll be looking to surpass Pete Sampras' record 14, will be the toughest of his career and may likely take him longer to achieve then we could even imagine.
Thanks to Tennis Times for the translation!

Reamping with loop pedal?
So I recently discovered the genius idea of reamping. Before I go out and drop $200 on a reamp box, I'm wondering if its possible for me to ascertain the same result using a Boss RC-20XL loop pedal.
I would place the loop pedal at the beginning of my fx chain and record the dry guitar signal, which continues on through the rest of my pedals and through the amp allowing me to hear the full sound. The signal would then be saved on the pedal and I would just let it continue to loop while I tweak with mic placement and amp EQ.
Also, I use a firestudio project. Could I take a recording on Cakewalk or whatever, and use the headphone out of the interface into the loop pedal, which would continue through the amp?
Now in theory, this will work fine I'm pretty sure, however I just wanna make sure it won't be damage anything when I output from the headphone jack on the interface to the loop station and then through the amp. Will there be any impedance mismatches or anything of the sort?

You can buy a Radial DI and run it in reverse. Here's the thing...
your guitar signal in a high impedance, unbalanced signal. You run it into a di box, then into your mixer, or into the "instrument" input on your mixer then it converts it to a low impedance, balanced signal.
So...if you want the sound to function how's its supposed to...then you need to take that low imped. balanced signal at line level, and turn it back into something the amp wants to see...an unbalanced high imped signal that's not line level.
I have a feeling if you just shoot a 1/4'' out of your headphone jack and run it into the amp, you aren't going to get the result you want. It's probably going to cause the amp to shit itself and overdrive like crazy when it's not meant to.
Di boxes are way cheaper than reampers...and a reamp is basically just a DI in reverse...so try that route.

Great, thanks for the info. I'm pretty much trying to avoid dishing out the $$$ on a reamp if I can recreate the same effect using some of the equipment I have.
So I can't go from the balanced outputs of the FireStudio into the amp due to an impedance mismatch...what about if I output the signal from the interface to a Boss/Korg mutli-effects pedal's input (such as a GT-8 or ME-50)? Will that 'fix' the impedance mismatch?
I have a Boss TU-3 chromatic tuner stompbox, which has a bypass output. So would it be feasible for me to place the tuner first in my FX chain, send the output from the bypass direct in to a line-in on the FireStudio, and through the rest of my FX to my amp?
Then for the actual reamping, could I output from the interface (balanced stereo out) to the Boss FX board, through my series of pedals and output at the amp?
I messed with this earlier and there wasn't any kind of screech or distorted noise coming from the amp as I read would happen if there were an impedance problem, however I'm not entirely sure that the signal being sent through the Boss board to the amp is a 'true' output signal (if that makes any sense).
I also want to be sure that I'm not harming any equipment. Thanks a lot again.

I don't blame you, but chances are, you don't have the right gear if you asking this.
To answer all of these, you have to look at "what is this device expecting to 'see' at the input, and 'give' at the output?"
[interface] - gives line level - [amp] - expects to see instrument level.
[interface] - gives line level - [FX device/pedal] - expects to see instrument level, outputs instrument level.
[interface] - gives line level - [tuner] - expects to see instrument level, outputs instrument level.
See, the only thing you're changing is who sees the impedance mismatch and where it will be found.
What you want is:
[interface] - gives line level - [reamp box] excpects to see line level, outputs instrument level.
I'm not so sure you'd actually damage anything, so long as you kept the output from the interface moderate.
You might even find that some of these might even give you half-way decent results - particularly using a DI box in reverse.
What is most likely to happen is any or all of the following:
-noise - either hissing (impedance issues), or humming (ie. grounding issues) - on clean tones
-distorted tones - things like pinch harmonics and whammy-bar squeals (anything that really requires a lot of gain) might not "speak" the way you want them to.
Could I get some more talent in the monitors, please?

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- Despite its best efforts, Maryland couldn't change the minds of selection committee on Sunday.
When the NCAA brackets were announced on WUSA 9, Mark Turgeon's Terps were not among the 68 teams selected.
Many of the Terrapin faithful thought that the team's performance in the ACC tournament proved that the team was finally ready to live up to their preseason hype. No matter how good they looked this weekend, there are things that happened during the regular season that doomed their fate.
1. Strength of Schedule
Turgeon is no fool. He played with the team he had inherited from Gary Williams a year ago and knew he had to soften the schedule if they were going to have a good record. I don't think he even thought he would be able to turn this roster around so fast that they could actually compete outside of the conference. Even if you add the games from the conference tourney, Maryland's schedule is still ranks an abysmal 93 in the nation.
2. Alex Len
Maryland was garnering a lot of attention this year and it was all because of the 7-foot sophomore. The projected NBA lottery pick was supposed to help the new look Terps dismantle the ACC. And after starting the season with a strong showing against Kentucky, Len seemed to fade away during parts of the year. So much so, that teams felt content to play him one on one instead of the constant double team that seemed to be in opponents' gameplans. As he became less aggressive, the Terps began to lose games and became unattractive to the selection committee.
3. The Bad ACC
This one is kind of out of Maryland's hands. They can't make the other teams in the conference better so that the ACC gets more bids. However, the fact they couldn't beat them didn't help either. I'm sure Turgeon can't wait to head over to the Big Ten and grab a better opportunity to get to the big dance.
4. Bad Losses
This ties into the last point. If you can't beat them, when march comes, you will join them -- on the couch or in NIT. No one expected the loss to Kentucky to be considered a bad one, but two tough losses to Florida State and on the road to Georgia Tech and Boston College are almost unforgivable. I mean, they beat a top ranked Duke team twice and that couldn't save them. Everyone has a bad loss or two, but combined with Maryland's other issues, it was the icing on the cake.
The Terps should get invited to the NIT and should be competitive if they have the same mindset they had during the ACC Tournament. Then, after that, Turgeon will work to improve a very young team with tons of potential and now have a reason to be hungry.

Looks really good so far Lukc. Haven't really messed with dungeon maps yet myself so can't offer much in the way of constructive feedback, but I do like the simplicity, clean lines and colors of the map.
All contain stout bearded men (dwarves) and a lot of heavy metal (iron golems). Anyway, joking around, I felt inspired by some of the maps here, so I've set about making a dungeon map for my gaming group. We run rules lite, death heavy games without miniatures and all that new-fangled junk ... which is why I used hexes, so nobody would get the idea that they have to be very "precise" about the dimensions of various rooms and such.
All comments welcome ...
Happy October everyone!

I like the style and side comments.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
Hehe, the side comments are there just to let me and you know what I still have to do ... but you're right, hand-written notes are quite charming. I'm tempted to hand-write all the map labels, in fact. Maybe in my poor minuscule, even.
Here it is, pretty much finished off (I've left off the deep mines and such ... not enough room on this kind of scale). I haven't included doors and the likes, I prefer to make them up pretty much as we go along, since I'm a very "wing it" kind of DM. And here's a little song to get the players in the right mood while they're hacking and slashing: Children of Bodom: Are You Dead Yet?
Very cool and a simple style that many find hard to achieve, including me. Good stuff.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Small issue: The callouts (text label areas) don't seem to be working with the rest of it for me. I think it is the clean white vs. all the yellows and browns of the map itself.
Are you going to show a player version, and a DM/GM version? If so the labels are not such a big deal as I expect they are for your eyes only...
I'm thinking of leaving it as just a DM/GM version, but I agree with the callouts ... fiddled around quite a bit, but ... maybe I should just make all the text white and use a fatter font. Maybe go with a bold for all of the texts. I'll give it a try and post it after ...
