Bram did essentially delete this thread. FYI It's not locked but it's been de-listed which is kind of the same as deletion because people can't see it.

Toiletrolltube has just sent me an apology.
Might be a good idea to just have this whole TRUMP thread removed for good. I don't think anyone else will be contributing to it. Then its all done and dusted.

Hi, I have a youtube channel and am a producer, so i need a sexy female vocal sample that is saying "FRESH MUSIC ON THE BEAT"
Hey, it's off topic
Dear Masters,
I would like yo request a dj intro saying "DJ AJ on the mix" in female seductive voice or different female voice. Thanks in advance
I had to call-out this unbelievably tasty excerpt from the already infamous DronesoundTV stream, featuring mutilations of samples by Corsica_S, mannhawks, ricemutt, Slanesh, NoiseCollector IEDLabs, and luminadii.
Answering Machine/Corsica_S http://www.freesound.org/people/Corsica_S/sounds/168117/
Sitar/mannhawks http://freesound.org/people/mannhawks/sounds/147895/

Answering-machine/IEDlabs http://freesound.org/people/IEDlabs/sounds/82320/
Ferry/luminadii http://freesound.org/people/luminadii/sounds/336795/
Also in the mix is a low-frequency sine-wave generated on-board the Raspberry Pi, which is tuned to the dominant sample.
My only (ongoing) regret is the poor audio quality out of the RPI itself. I'm hoping to move the project to a Mac Mini soon. Stay tuned.
THANKS again to those authors, these samples are fantastic.
I don't really understand creds… It would be nice if that command lead to info about all the samples being played at the moment. Both in the comment field (with links) and on the screen.
I'm obviously on the wrong side of the Atlantic. 2 viewers is the highest number I've seen. Yet…
Could anyone active on ambientonline.org write something about this project?
This forum (freesound) I great but s l o w . But it's okay
Thank you, all! Sorry for the delay, been busy coding on it!
Excellent feedback, I'm going to make user activities more visible.
Thanks everyone who's checked it out, if you've got friends into noise or drone, do drop em the link k!
Hello everyone!
I came across Freesound about a year ago and absolutely loved everything about it .
I always found that when I listened to tracks on YouTube (for ambience) or when I tried some other apps on the store, I never quite found exactly what I wanted. There was usually extra noise or other sounds that would distract me from exactly what I wanted to hear.
So, I decided to make my own Ambience app . And now, I'm happy to let you all know that it's live on the App Store around the world!!
Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ambience-builder/id1111937621?ls=1&mt;=8
Website: www.ambiencebuilder.com
Ambience Builder was made using sounds from Freesound - and 99% of the sounds are from here .
Please give it a try and let me what you think! I am also looking for new 'categories' for the app, so please reach out to me if you have any cool ideas after trying it .
The only part left is getting this app 'out there' - I don't have the budget that these software companies do, unfortunately (((. It would help me so much if you guys could leave me a few ratings/reviews on the App Store and maybe share the app on social media if you like it and want to help out the 'little guy' .
I plan to keep it updated - and to add LOTS of new features now that it's finally on the market . I want to have a top ranking app that helps others get to sleep/relax and unwind...and it's also useful for lots of other situations . I must say, it was awesome when I went to my RMT appt yesterday and plugged my app into their sound system so I could listen to it during my massage, aha, how exciting!!!
Thanks everyone!

i'm looking for a sting like the one used in Monty Python's "Spanish Inquisition".
Something similar can also be heard repeatedly in Avicii - Sunset Jesus, about 3 minutes in.
I didn't think something like this would be hard to find, but I do not know what words to search for...
Anyways, I would appreciate if anyone could help me out.

Welcome to The Careful Nursing Philosophy and Professional Practice Model©
Careful Nursing is a contemporary interpretation of the nursing system developed by early to mid-19th century Irish nurses. At the Crimean war (1853-1856) some worked with and alongside Florence Nightingale who very much appreciated their contribution to her nursing endeavour, as well as the opportunity to learn more about nursing from them.
This website is designed to serve as a source of information and a means of communication about Careful Nursing as it is further developed, critically examined, used and tested. Over time more information and resources will become available.

Three principles underlie the philosophy:
- the nature and inherent dignity of the human person
- the existence of Infinite Transcendent Reality in life processes
- health as human flourishing
Professional Practice Model
Professional practice is guided by four concepts and their dimensions;
- the therapeutic milieu
- practice competence and excellence
- management of practice and influence in health systems
- professional authority

I simply meant it might work as most people who buy M4/3 &CSC cameras never change from the kit lens.
Basically if they sold the nx200 with the 30mm lens complete for £350 in the uk i think they would sell loads.
Anyway i didnt want this to end up being anther thread about 'samsung semsor's'

Would this mean that once they come out of Chapter 11 proceedings then buying stock again would be an option? If so, how prudent would that be?
Yes, buying the company's stock after it emerges from Chapter 11 is certainly an option -- but one that warrants caution and due dilligence.
Let me amplify on that. When companies reorganize via a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding, they attempt to shed the parts of their business that are liabilities (that is, the source of red ink) so that what remains is a profitable business. The bankruptcy code allows a company in Chapter 11 to terminate leases and other contracts that it would not be able to terminate otherwise. By way of example, a company that operates department stores may close stores that are not netting enough profit to cover their rent. The bankruptcy code allows the company to terminate the leases on such stores as soon as it vacates the building, with the court's approval, so the rent and other fixed costs associated with that location cease to be red ink on the balance sheet. The owner gets the building back and may rent it to another tenant to make up the lost rent from the termiated lease.
Now, bankruptcy reorganization is a very tricky process. Continuing the previous example, a retailer who closes a several stores in a geographical area may discover that the warehouse or distribution center serving that geographical area is too big for the remaining stores in that area, and thus has to realign its distribution network (and there are several options for doing so -- leasing or subleasing part of the building, moving the facility to a smaller building and terminating the lease or selling the vacated building, or closing the facility completely and r

Originally written for piano, Grieg later scored his "Holberg Suite" for orchestra. Geoffrey Brand has done a masterful job of setting two movements of the suite - the Sarabande and Gavotte - for wind band. Give your students the opportunity to perform first-rate classical music they wouldn't otherwise have access to.
Born in Bergen, Norway, into a family of Scottish descent, Edvard Grieg showed a talent for music early and at the age of 10 had piano lessons from his mother. In 1849 he went to study at Leipzig Conservatoire before moving to Copenhagen where he met Riokaard Nordaak, a young Norwegian composer who was immersed in Norwegian nationalism and greatly influence Grieg who felt his future was as a musician dedicated to romantic nationalism. Holberg Suite, originally for piano, was written in 1884 in response to a commission to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Ludvig Holberg, a Norwegian dramatist and satirist. A year later, Grieg arranged 5 movements for string orchestra. Sarabande and Gavotte are intended to be played segue but can, if desired, be performed separately. The music expresses Grieg and his native Norway in a manner which justifies his declaration "I am not an exponent of Scandinavian music but of Norwegian.".

"Funding issues slow e-gov progress"
Confused citizens no longer need to know how to contact the right office within the right agency to get a question about the federal government answered. The General Services Administration last week launched USA Services, a one-step process for people to get information via the telephone, e-mail or regular mail.
The service, accessible through the FirstGov Web site, connects citizens to the government's National Contact Center in Pueblo, Colo. Staff there can answer many questions within hours and almost all within two days, said M.J. Jameson, associate administrator for the Office of Citizen Services and Communications.
The service also reroutes misdirected calls and e-mail messages to the right place, she said.
"It's going to save agencies money," Jameson said. "Why should they build their own systems when they can use ours?"
The service is one of the e-government initiatives on the President's Management Agenda and one of the most useful to citizens, said Mark Forman, administrator of the Office of Management and Budget's Office of E-Government and Information Technology. "It's just too complicated to know who to contact within the government," he said.
"One thing the federal government does a lot of is answer citizen questions," said Clay Johnson, OMB's deputy director of management. "They have questions; we're supposed to have answers."
Citizens' use of the Internet has risen sharply since agencies began work on the e-government initiatives, he said. In 2001, 6.7 million used the FirstGov site. By 2002, that number rose to 33 million, and 60 million are expected to visit this year.
To test USA Services, GSA set up a pilot with the Interior Department, said Theresa Nasif, director of the Federal Citizen Information Center. After training some members of the call center staff to answer Fish and Wildlife Service questions, the center began routing citizen inquiries there. The staff received about 300 e-mail messages and 50 phone calls a day and were able to answer about 95 percent of the questions themselves, she said. They referred the rest to Fish and Wildlife.
Funds for USA Services come from the center — about $11.5 million for 2003 — Nasif said. Jameson said the service will reroute misdirected e-mail messages for free, but will charge its partner agencies a "cost recovery" fee for answering questions on their behalf.
Meanwhile, citizens can continue to call agencies directly, Jameson said. The idea is not to cut off any lines of communication, but to provide one simple method to ensure everybody can find a way in to the government.
"They can contact anyone they want," she said. "We just want to make sure there's only one door."
A quick start
Departments already signed up to use USA Services include:
* Agriculture.
* Energy.

* Housing and Urban Development.

I'm trying to use the get_template_part to rehuse the loop for single post pages, but the documentation is not clear, to me at least.
I need to use the same html structure in the single page/post and home templates and another file for multiple-post templates, and I need to know how to name them and how to call them with this function.
The documentation says:
(string) (optional) The name of the specialized template.
I don't know what "the specialized template" means. Is that the kind of pages it will applied to? Is that the template "type" that will be opened when used this function regardless of the kind of template it has been called from? or the template name it will look for?
My theme doesn't have any child. I'm building it from scratch.
Can anybody give me, at least, a few more examples for me to figure it out, or just expand the above definition

Hated the Service
Service is terrible. Front desk clerks have attitude.
Unforgettably wonderful honeymoon night!
There was nothing that we wanted that the super-helpful and friendly staff didn't provide. The room was prefectly understated yet luxurious--the bathroom was to die for! When we had some friends visit us the second day, the staff immediately supplied us with place settings for 7 people. There is nothing better than having the Mercer as your homebase during hot, humid July. We can't wait to return. Spotting Benicio Del Toro in the lounge wasn't too shabby.
Shame about the ......
We arrived on a cold wet afternoon - no doorman or bell boys to be found so hump your own luggage in and up to the room
We had reserved a loft studio on line for 4 nights, had received confirmation, only to arrive and be placed in a de-luxe room without explanation. I complained that the room bore little resemblance to my Idea of a loft studio and was told that no loft studios were available.
After complaining louder a vacant loft studio was found and our belonging transferred. I remain convinced that the sudden mysterious appearance of a "loft studio" was in fact another deluxe in disguise but did not wish to spoil our stay further and of course on settling my account I was charged the full loft studio rate of $620.00 plus tax per night!
Service at Breakfast was incredibly slow - like up to 50 minutes to even get a tea and coffee we walked out on our last day and ate in a cafe two doors away. Heaven forbid you ask for more than one round of cocktails in the evening for according to the waitress the guy behind the bar "will get really cross"!
Ask for a DVD and you get a video - but the rooms dont have video players!
Great relaxed atmosphere only it has affected the staff as well. Bottom line - Telephone to confirm what room you are getting, overated and with very poor staffing. Andre Balazs please take note!!!
Average, Average, Average
I stayed at the Mercer for a long weekend last month. I was completely underwhelmed by my experience. We had a room facing Spring St on one of the higher floors. The room had a tub and seperate shower in the bath. I found the staff to be very uneven. Some were arrogant and yet others very friendly. I find arrogance at front desks to be hilarious. All in all I think the hotel is pretty full of itself in total. The location cannot be beat, but value for dollars is upside down! We had decent service in the Mercer Kitchen and a couple of friendly bell men. I wouldn't stay there again. It would have been a value and acceptable at $350/night not $600!
Expensive but great location and good service.
We stayed at the Mercer for 3 nights in October with our 2 year old son. The downside of the whole experience was the queen sized bed which we lived with but next time we would choose a more expensive (did I just say that?) room with a king bed. The bathroom also had no bathtub (but a huge marble shower with body sprays.) We paid $410/night. A cheaper garden room was offered at $395. We chose the room facing mercer street. The room has high ceilings and ceiling fan. The windows have shades and blinds giving lots of light when pulled. The high ceilings and tall windows give the otherwise NY style austere furnishings a lofty feel. The BIG bonus was you could open the windows and get some air into the room. We were on the 2nd floor.
The room service the 1st night was on the slow side, but the food from the Mercer Kitchen was great! We had the lamb and the duck. The cocktail I ordered (Mai-Tai) was awful. I threw it out. Two more room service experiences were fine. Breakfast was average but brunch was better than average.
We required milk for our son upon arrival - organic whole milk as specified was in the mini bar when we arrived. When it was discovered that the mini bar was not keeping it cold enough a refrigerator was delivered at no extra charge. The room was big enough for a 2yr old to play in and the big table/ desk has a banquet on one side and was great to eat at or work at. Free Wireless Ethernet was great! The soho location makes shopping and eating easy with a 2yr old. It's only a quick walk away or a stroller ride. Subways is around the corner and taxis seemed easy to get. With Minnie Driver in the lobby while we were there, The Mercer is still a place to be seen. The lobby seems always populated. The only other downside is checking in - as Soho is so busy the street in front of the hotel is always full of parked cars narrowing an alread narrow Mercer Street. In our case we had the limo park on Prince and the bellman happily toted our luggage down the street. The entrance is of course hard to find for the 1st timer - look for the clock on Mercer. - Oh and for foodies Dean and Deluca is 1 big block away.
Elegant Cool
I'm in New York once a month and have tried to find the hotel that would make my stay feel less like work and more like pleasure. I was wary about the "boutique" reputation, but the Mercer understands service in a way that hip and cool usually neglect. Roomservice boasts many items from the esteemed Mercer Kitchen. The staff is gracious and smart. The rooms are elegant and simple. The hotel has many shopping and restaurants within minutes of the front door. A quick 15 minute cab ride gets me to my midtown office.
Amazing Weekend at the Mercer
My wife and I just returned from an amazing weekend at the Mercer Hotel in Soho. The staff was tremendously helpful and friendly, and was particularly accomodating for our two pugs who had the time of their life. The room, a deluxe studio, was easily the best hotel room I've ever been in New York. To the person who thought they seemed to office-like, I could only wish that my office looked like that! We faced the courtyard, so there was hardly any noise and we were able to keep the windows open at night and let the fall air in. The location can't be beat, although we were disappointed by the number of chain stores which have opened in the area in recent years. (Hello American Eagle Outfitters) The raw tuna / wasabi pizza is very good. We look forward to returning soon.
this is by FAR my favorite hotel in NYC. in fact, it's my favorite hotel in all of the USA. The food is INCREDIBLE, the service is OUTSTANDING, the rooms are AWESOME (but be ready to kick down some $$ for a loft). No, it's not the most economic, but well worth the money if you've got it. WIFI all around the hotel, awesome bar for your friends and business associates to meet you. Perfect location. The room are meticulously designed by Liagre. A very sexy vibe, great for couples. And they'll do anything for you. You need acupuncture? No problem. They send someone up, you need a backgammon board in the middle of the night - they'll get it for you in 5 minutes. It's not as stuffy as the Four Seasons... it's luxury with an edge.
Weekend at the Mercer
Date of stay: August 15-16, 2003.
I had dinner at the Mercer Kitchen in May (try their wasabe pizza) and was so impressed with it I decided on spending two nights in the hotel on a return visit to New York in August.
As it happened, I arrived at the Mercer as New York was recovering from the Blackout. The staff seemed to maintain a positive attitude while working under abnormal conditions.
My room was large with a high ceiling. The bed was very comfortable.
The bath had a large, square soaking tub with separate shower. (I liked the Face Stockholm toiletries so much I went across the street to their boutique and purchased some for gifts to take home.)
There was no air conditioning in the building that first night (due to the blackout). I opened a window and turned on the ceiling fan. It was surprisingly pleasant in spite of it all.
While all the necessities were there, the personality of the room decor was rather stiff, almost to the point of feeling like I was staying in someone's office that had a bed in it. The style of the room could be softened up just a bit to take on more of a residential feel. A touch of color, art, or humor would be welcomed.
Some drapes on the two large windows would have made a difference here.
(I've seen pictures of the Mercer's rooms with drapes on the windows------my room didn't have them.)
I recommend Le Pain Quotidien, a charming Belgian caf� on nearby Grand street.
My wife wanted to stay here after hearing about the hotel's central SOHO location. Highlite of the stay was the near proximity to the excellent upscale Korean resto acroos the street from the hotel. The hotel staff were insufficiently attentive and at times arrogant. For the price (we were paying $500/night) I expected much more. Rooms were average. On a positive note, wireless ethernet was present in the room at no additional cost - very nice feature.
