If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the chargetruth.

Well, there's nowt as queer as folks, they say. I expect we all have our own little gripe. Mine is being asked to identify a plant without a photograph, when the description could fit so many flowers. Or am I going off topic now?
I also bought Patty's Plum this year. All my poppies rotted off - I just put it down to the rain. I chopped off all the foliage, and am hoping for better luck next year! Good luck with yours.
Possibly a Robinia?
Acers don't like too much direct sun. My south-facing garden has no shady areas, so my acer leaves usually end up brown on the tips. But they fall off anyway and new ones will grow next year, so I don't worry about it.
When buying tulips from a specialist supplier at a flower show, I was told that if you want tulips to last in the ground from one year to the next, you need to plant them at least twelve inches down. Not sure if this actually works, as I have never managed to dig a hole that deep!
Thanks for the advice - I'll tell my husband to just leave the bulbs in the pots for the winter. It is such a pretty beetle, but we shall just have to continue the war next year!
I can't help you, but it looks gorgeous!
For privacy I think you would prefer an evergreen. What about cotoneaster or pyracanthus?
Not a laurel. I think it is a loquat tree. I had one for years but gave it away a couple of months ago. It was growing in a pot. It is also known as the Japanese Medlar. Mine originated from Majorca.
I like your idea of using fuschias to cover a boring fence panel!

The Go-Go's Band Partnership Dispute
After 30 years as the bass player for the all girls band The Go-Go's, Kathy Valentine is suing her former band mates for cutting her out of her twenty percent share of earnings.
The Go-Go's jumped to fame in the early 80's and continue to make money from merchandise, touring and record sales. The five band members – Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock and Kathy Valentine – are equal owners in Ladyhead, LLC (receives all revenues for the The Go-Go's excluding touring and owns The Go-Go's trademark) and Smith-Pocket Industries, LLC (the touring arm of The Go-Go's).
The four remaining band members notified Valentine earlier this year that she was out of the group. The lawsuit alleges the four remaining members formed a new entity, GoGoCo Corp., to license all of the rights associated with the name and good will of The Go-Go's as well as touring. If that is the case, Valentine's twenty percent share of revenues would be substantially diluted as GoGoCo Corp. would be calling the shots on when and how much money would flow to LadyHead, LLC and Smith-Pocket Industries, LLC.
It sounds like the group did things the right way years ago be forming the two initial entities where each band member was an equal owner. I suspect the operating agreements for those entities address what happens when a band member quits on their own or is forced out. But, maybe they don't or the language is not beneficial to Valentine, as the lawsuit never specifically discusses those sections of the LLC operating agreement. Instead, the plaintiff's complaint focuses on breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract in not continuing to pay Valentine her one-fifth.
Sounds like the perfect case for mediation. The parties have all aired their laundry over the years and need a neutral party to help them work through a potential mine-field of separation issues.
Stone Temple Pilots Trademark and Band Dispute
The three remaining original band members of the Stone Temple Pilots sued expelled member Scott Weiland in May 2013 claiming breach of their written partnership agreement, breach of fiduciary duty and trademark infringement.
Weiland was voted out of the group in February 2013. The four group members operated under a written band partnership that allows a partner to be ousted for numerous reasons, including not making the band a top priority. The complaint provides a look at the various ways in which Weiland was not putting the band first and how he was subsequently "sabotaging" the band's tour and new album release.
Weiland subsequently contersued the band accusing the members of conspiracy to oust him and demanding the band/partnership be dissolved.
There are four federal trademark registrations for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS owned in the name of the Stone Temple Pilots partnership and listing the four original partners, including Weiland, as the partners. Might we see some issues at the USPTO regarding those registrations and who is the proper party to maintain ownership?
Here's the Complaint filed by the Stone Temple Pilots vs Weiland.
More to come as this case progresses. We always love a good band name dispute.
Pre-72 Sound Recordings not subject to DMCA
Under New York state law a decision issued last week holds pre-1972 sound recordings are not subject to the DMCA safe harbor provisions and Grooveshark is liable for state law copyright infringement of UMG owned pre-1972 sound recordings. UMG Recordings, Inc. v. Escape Media Group, Inc. Opinion linked here.
The year the sound recording was released is key to UMG's argument. Prior to February 15, 1972 sound recordings were protected by state law copyright schemes. All sound recordings released after February 15, 1972 are protected by Federal Copyright Law.
Grooveshark continues to hide under the protection of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Safe Harbor provision claiming it didn't know that content uploaded by third parties was infringing and had been uploaded without permission. I believe the judges' decision was correct. If the pre-72 sound recording owners do not receive any of the protections of the Federal Copyright Act such as the ability to recover attorneys' fees or sue for statutory damages, then why should an infringer receive defensive benefits from the Copyright Act?
Because this decision was issued by the New York State Appellate Court, that court had no obligation to follow a footnote in Capitol Records, Inc. v. Mp3 Tunes, LLC, 821 F.Supp.2d 627 (S.D.N.Y. 2011) in which the court states in dicta:
This Court agrees with [Mp3 Tunes, LLC] the plain meaning of the statutory language makes the DMCA safe harbors applicable to both state and federal copyright claims. Thus, the DMCA applies to sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972.
UMG made a great tactical decision in keeping their pre- and post-72 sound recordings separated in their legal filings. A state court was the appropriate venue to decide if the DMCA applies to sound recordings that are not otherwise protected by the U.S. Copyright Act.
Pandora Tops 200 Million Users – Should Streaming Services Pay Lower Royalties?
With Pandora's topping of 200 million users, surely they can develop a business model to increase their revenues instead of decreasing their payments to copyright owners. I am a fan and user of Pandora's services. Do I enjoy the ads that are inserted between songs on the "free" Pandora- no. But, I think most people enjoy Pandora enough that listening to a few ads can become the new normal to the free streaming radio experience. If you don't like ads, opt for a premium ad-free service.
The fastest growing area of consumer consumption of music is streaming. See BBC News, "Streaming music revenues up 40% globally in 2012," Aug. 15, 2012.
Revenues from music subscription services and streaming services collectively went from just 3% of total industry revenues in 2007 to 15% in 2012, totaling over $1 billion for the year. Distributions for digital performance royalties from SoundExchange, which include payments to performers and copyright holders for webcasting, satellite radio, and other non-interactive digital music services, increased 58% to $462 million in 2012.
Pandora and IHeartRadio are the two leading internet radio services in the US. According to reports by Triton Digital, in May 2012 Pandora held 74.2 percent of the daytime internet radio services to IHeartRadio's 13.6 percent. See Glenn Peoples, BILLBOARD, The Next Digital Battleground, Vol 124, No. 25, at p. 22. Because internet radio is not interactive, meaning the user cannot choose the track or artist they wish to hear, license fees for use of the sound recording are pre-determined and are paid by the internet radio stations to Sound Exchange as a digital performance royalty.
Pandora continues to lobby in support of the Internet Radio Fairness Act, a bill that would change the standard by which the Copyright Royalty Board sets the statutory rate for the digital performance of sound recordings. In effect, Pandora wants to reduce payments to Sound Exchange which directly decreases royalties paid to artists, musicians, and sound recording copyright owners.
In November 2012 Pandora sued ASCAP, the largest of three Performance Rights Organizations in the United States, to lower Pandora's rate for public performance royalties paid to music publishers and songwriters each time a song is streamed.
Internet radio and streaming services are clearly part of the future of the music business. Should copyright owners, artists and songwriters continue to see a decrease in royalties when these businesses thrive?

GRAMMYs At The Texas Capitol 2013 – update #txgrammys
The Recording Academy® Texas Chapter's first bi-annual event, GRAMMYs At The Texas Capitol, took place yesterday, February 26, at the State's Capitol. Approximately 30 participants lobbied on behalf of the membership including Chapter Trustee, Paul Wall, National Vice Chair of the Board Of Trustees, Christine Albert, Chapter Governor, Terry Lickona, as well as GRAMMY® winner Ray Benson, country music artists Jack Ingram and Josh Abbott, as well as NBC's The Voice finalist, Nakia. The resolution in the Senate and House deemed February 26, 2013 as Texas GRAMMY Music Day. This special day was sponsored by Texas Senators: Robert Deuell (R) and Leticia Van de Putte (D), and Texas Representatives: Myra Crownover (R) and Ryan Guillen (D).
Led by group members Todd Dupler, Director of Government Relations for The Recording Academy; Advocacy Chair Tamera Bennett; Advocacy committee members R.C. Rondero de Mosier and Ricky Anderson; and Sr. Executive Director Theresa Jenkins—the Texas Chapter met with policy makers to lobby for economic development and support for Arts education in public schools. Additionally, the group raised awareness about The Recording Academy's concern for Intellectual Property and Piracy issues in the state of Texas.
Mediating the Band Partnership Dispute
Scenario: Band members are "in love" and all is rocking along. Money is starting to be made and then it happens — the honeymoon is over and a band member leaves voluntarily or is forced out. A lawsuit is filed and it starts to get ugly.
Even a written Band Partnership Agreement or LLC Membership Agreement may not be sufficient to resolve the dispute between the parties. A third-party neutral, i.e., mediator, might be necessary to hear all sides of the dispute and help guide the band members to a workable solution.
Common battle grounds include:
Who gets to use the band name?
Who owns the master recording copyrights?
Who owns the song copyrights?
Who owns the physical product or merchandise?
Can the band keep using the leaving band member's name and likeness?
Here are some on-going band disputes where mediation, also known as alternative dispute resolution, could be used as a vehicle to resolve the dispute by the parties rather than by a judge or jury:
Boston v. Tom Sholz (former Boston guitar player)
LIVE – mediation occurred on November 1, 2012
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
J Geils Band
En Vogue – lawsuit settled via arbitration
Chris Daughtry sued by Absent Element

John Geils, Jr. through a company I am assuming he has partial ownership in, filed and received a trademark registration of J. GEILS BAND in 2009 for clothing and live performances. The application shows use dating back to 1967. The trademark examiner seemed to fully vet the application and required the consent of J. Geils as he is a living individual.
Fast forward to April 2012 when a company named T & A Research & Development Corp. filed a trademark application for "The J. Geils Band" claiming a date of first use in 1969. Again, the trademark examiner fully vetted the application and issued an initial refusal requiring the applicant to submit a consent from J. Geils and further requiring the applicant to explain its association to the band. The response is not yet due.
In May 2012, Geils Unlimited, LLC filed a trademark cancellation proceeding seeking to cancel the "J GEILS BAND" registration. The petition for cancellation alleges Geils and other band members entered into a written shareholders' agreement that restricted Geils use of the name J. GEILS BAND.
One more litigious twist – J. Geil's company filed a trademark infringement suit on August 1 in district court.

Newsboys v. New Boyz Band Name Trademark Dispute
Christian rockers Newsboys have 28 No. 1 singles and have been together for 26 years. They are just a little upset over possible consumer confusion with the rapper duo New Boyz.
New Boyz, around since 2009, just released a direct to DVD movie and is currently on a European tour.
With the continued consolidation of the record business, the overlap of genres on terrestrial radio and especially on services such as Pandora and Last.FM, Newsboys may have more than a blush of a claim that a music consumer could be confused between the two band names. The test in trademark infringement is whether or not a consumer is likely to be confused that a song or records released by one band was actually released by the other band. If you saw a New Boyz CD you might think it was the Newsboys.
There is a trademark registration with the US Patent & Trademark Office for NEWSBOYS for entertainment services; namely, live musical performances of a religious nature rendered by a group. The registration is incontestable and issued on March 29, 1994. Interesting side note — the owner of the mark is Wes Campbell, the manager of the Newsboys (that tidbit is a topic of discussion for another day on what a band should never do).
I did not find any trademark filings for New Boys.
Musicians and the Olympics – Who Does The Relationship Benefit?
The last Olympic metal awarded in the category of music was 1952. That's right, 1952 ended forty years of Olympic Sporting Arts. Even without a metal event, music continues to impact the culture of the Olympic games. From the opening and closing ceremony's, to the television broadcasts, to the live performances occurring at official Olympic events around London — Music is key to capturing the Olympic spirit.
While Paul McCartney can afford to play the Olympics for one pound in compensation, many other working musicians and artists simply can't afford such a generous donation to the games. The question that musicians, the music unions and trade magazines are asking, is should the working musician have to donate their time? In fact, news reports state the British Musician's Union reached a deal regarding the headliners at the Opening and Closing ceremony's playing for free and requiring compensation for other professional musicians.
So you're thinking – "The musicians should play for all the free publicity." In fact, many bands perform free shows for that reason. Not so with the Olympics. The musicians are restricted in promoting their "Olympic" gig and are not allowed to sell their own merch at the show. Pride of country can only feed you so many meals….
Here's a round-up of conversations on the topic.

Allman Brothers Settle Class Action With Sony Over Digital Downloads
In a much watched lawsuit, the Allman Brothers, Cheap Trick and the Youngbloods reached a settlement with the Sony record label for back payment of digital download royalties. The lawsuit has been in the forefront of the dispute between record labels and recording artists over the treatment of digital download income in respect to contracts signed back before the advent of iTunes and mp3 files.
This case was certified as a class action, so potentially the settlement terms could impact recording artists that had deals with Sony (or a predecessor) between 1976 and 2001.
Sony is not alone in facing litigation from artists that signed deals prior 2003 for the license vs sale issue. The "Eminem Case" of F.B.T. Productions, LLC v. Aftermath Records was the pioneer case in which the Ninth Circuit held a digital download should be treated as a license, entitling an artist to a 50% royalty.

Does Phone Call Equal Song Lyrics? Drake Sued by Ex As Co-Writer of Song
Grammy nominee Drake has been sued by an ex-girlfriend who claims she co-wrote the hit song "Marvin's Room" and is entitled to part ownership in the copyright in the song; copyright in the sound recording; and payment of songwriter royalties.
The first 30 seconds of the song is a recording of a phone conversation with the ex-girlfriend and plaintiff, Erika Lee. Lee asserts that she and Drake had every intention to write the song together and that her contributions were intended to be incorporated into the final song. Lee contends the intro "phone message" is key to the underlying song.
Lee's complaint is somewhat confusing as issues of ownership of the sound recording are intermingled with claims asserting ownership in the underlying song.
The most interesting thing in the complaint to me is a cause of action for Breach of Fiduciary Duty. Really, songwriters have a fiduciary duty to one another? If a record label doesn't have a fiduciary duty to an artist, do we really think that one songwriter would owe the highest duty of utmost care to a co-writer?

Weeks went by and I contacted David, because the designer never contacted me. He put me in contact with him. The designer told me that he was back up and having issues with his computer. That he would get with me. Several months went by with me calling David and the designer several times with no return calls. I finally tracked down the number for the corporate office of Western Publishing and found the number to be disconnected. I then left a message for David stating that I was contacting an Attorney.
He called me back the same day. He explained that they had gotten backed up and that they where having issues with computers etc. He promised me that my ad would be published in October's magazine. It again never happened. I made several attempts at contacting him and he never returned my call. In November my Company, Allied Home Mortgage was shut down. CrossCountry Mortgage then took over our office and we resumed business. I again tried contacting David regarding a refund due to his scam. He never returned my calls.
I did research and found that he has been scamming people for years. This man needs to be prosecuted for his scams. When will his victims get justice??? When will this guy be caught and how many more people have to become victims before he is stopped?

Hey guys,
I have pretty permalinks set up on my site, so that a post that fits under the "deals" type (which is part of a custom taxonomy, not a wp "category") will have an address such as:
What I want to do is make it possible for users to enter "http://www.site.com/deals/" as their URL, and be presented with the regular index.php, except that content is filtered to only display the "deals" posts.
I know I can do this by setting up a page specifically for that URL and having a specific query that only looks for deals... but I'd rather it all be done via the index page, so that I don't have to set up a custom page for each different type of content.
So my question is: how can I tell the wpquery on index.php to filter results based on whether the URL ("http://www.site.com/") has an additional segment on the end, such as "deals/"?
I'm familiar with passing php variables in URLs by using the "?" symbol, but in this case I want my URLs to maintain their "pretty" appearance.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

The probability density function of the range estimation error and the expected value of the range error magnitude are derived in terms of the various design parameters of a stereo imaging system. In addition, the relative range error is proposed as a better way of quantifying the range resolution of a stereo imaging system than the percent range error when the depths in the scene lie within a narrow range.

Tod Machover is head of the Media Lab's Hyperinstruments/Opera of the Future group. An influential composer, he has been praised for creating music that breaks traditional artistic and cultural boundaries; his music has been performed and commissioned by some of the world's most important performers and ensembles. In 1995, he received a "Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres," one of France's highest cultural honors, and in 1998 he was awarded the first DigiGlobe Prize from the German government. He has composed five operas and is the inventor of Hyperinstruments, a technology that uses smart computers to augment virtuosity. Hyperinstruments have been used by performers such as Yo-Yo Ma, Prince, and Peter Gabriel. Machover is also the creator of the Toy Symphony, an international music performance and education project. His research group is currently examining ways to use music in therapy for emotionally and physically challenged individuals. His newest opera, Death and the Powers, to premiere in Monte-Carlo 2010, is being developed by an extraordinary creative team of international artists, designers, writers, and theatrical luminaries, as well as by an interdisciplinary team of Media Lab graduate and undergraduate students. Scored for a small ensemble of specially designed Hyperinstruments, Powers will feature a robotic, animatronic stage—the first of its kind—that will gradually "come alive" as the opera's main character. Machover, who was formerly director of musical research at Pierre Boulez's IRCAM institute in Paris, received both his BA and MA from the Juilliard School in New York.
Question: You are working on the opera of the future. What will it look like?
Tod Machover: Yeah, so I never liked opera growing up. I always liked chamber music or solo music even more than orchestral music. But as I started writing my own music, I kept getting attracted to words and especially to – we talked before, I think, about these imaginary worlds that non-word music creates. You're somehow following a story, it's some how important humanly, if it's good music, but I fill in the details myself. And I started realizing that one of the great things about opera is that if you make the right kind of story, you can still have this kind of abstract subliminal quality to take you on a journey, but you can root it just enough in a particular situation, a particular kind of real situation that a person might have, or a particular context in the real world. If it's done in the wrong way, it kind of I think puts a straight jacket on music and a lot of the power music has to take us somewhere unexpected can go away. But if you do it in the right way, music's subliminal power stays and it connects to your own life and to real situations more closely. So, I've done a lot of operas. I've probably done more different kind of operas than anybody. I've been trying to explore this forum to see how to get the most out of it.
First I had The Brain Opera, where the public helps to create it, I did science-fiction opera for the Pompidou Center in Paris, this Magic Opera with Penn and Teller. The one I'm working on now is called Death in the Powers, and it has an original story and libretto by Robert Pinsky, the great poet. And my original images for this opera was, I'm so tired, and in some ways technology is wonderful. I love working with technology because it allows me to follow my imagination and to invent new things. But a lot of the feeling of technology, you know what things sound like when they come through loud speakers, what I looks like when you go to a rock concert and you see a giant screen with Bono's nose and on stage U-2's about this big, and so I think in many ways, the texture of technology actually diminishes human beings. It doesn't augment them.
So I started thinking, well how could we take this kind of hyperinstrument idea of measuring the way humans perform, the way they behave, they way they sing, the way they move, making that larger and more and growing it through the performance. So, the final result wouldn't be coming out of loud speakers and wouldn't be just video screens, but could actually be physical things. Could we make it so that if I move my hand here, there's some strings that start vibrating. There's wind that blows through some objects, or there are multiple percussive objects that either make sound like that, or maybe much more delicate sounds.
And visually as well. Could we do something where flying objects and morphing forms, real physical ones combine with the music help to tell a story, even if there are no words. So, I contacted Robert Pinsky, this poet to say, would you want to work on a crazy project like that? Could we make a stage to tell a story? And before we had a story, I was thinking about that. And then we made up a story which turned out to literally be about a guy who is in his late '60's, rich, powerful, successful, slightly creepy, kind of like Bill Gates meets; sorry Bill. Bill Gates meets Howard Hughes meets Walt Disney, somebody like that. And he's obsessed not so much with staying alive forever, in fact, he actually wants to leave the world and he imagines a kind of better, higher level of existence. So, he wants to go, but he wants everything about himself. His memories, the texture of his life, his ability to still be in touch with the people he loves. His ability to manipulate his business partners, or whatever. He wants that to stay. So, he uses his money and his smarts and his power to invent this thing called The System, which basically allows him – he can basically download himself into his environment.
So in the first scene, he's just finishing this system and his wife and his daughter and his assistants are saying, "Yep, it's almost ready. But are you still going – is it going to be you? Where are you going to go? Don't leave. What is this? And he turns on the system at the end of the first scene and says, "See ya later." And transmigrates, and goes somewhere. And little by little the stage comes alive. So, the stage is like a big robot. And his whole room, which is made up of bookcases and furniture and objects and a gigantic chandelier, which looks like a chandelier. These all turn into him and they start to move and they start to vibrate and they start to make sound. And they don't literally look like him, and they don't literally necessarily sound like him, although he does talk and sing through them in a modified form. This becomes the future of his existence and everybody who is left has to decide, is this really him? Is that you dad? Is that you Simon? They have to decide if they like this. I mean, he's left himself, he's left his legacy. This is what he wants to leave in the world. Do they want this stuff? Do they want to live with this Simon left behind?
And then they have to decide if this existence – he actually want them to follow him. So they have to decide whether what we know of as human existence is good enough. Should we stay here? Or is this really a promise of something better? And that's where the tension of the opera comes.
So it's very unusual. And we have all this set that makes music and comes alive and moves and interacts with the characters. It's quite large. We're building it all from scratch at the MIT Media Lab. We have live performers on stage as well. We have a chorus of robots. There are 12 robots, 7-feet tall. They are 3 ½ feet that extend to seven feet. They comment on the action, they're actually slightly futuristic; they're also being designed by this research assistant. They're kind of a bridge between now and the future. And they're a little bit mechanical. They glide around; they don't really understand what's going on because they're robots. So, death and you know Simon's somewhere else. We could love – what is this stuff? Why would you care about this?
And then my favorite characters, I think, are the furniture. Because wanted very unexpected parts of the set to, not exactly be human, but be able to reach out to humans, so the chairs and the tables and the sofa, all have legs that walk around and they glide around, and there's kind of – they're not as well developed as what we call the Opera Box, the elegant 7 foot ones. They're kind of strange and they're lurching and they're trying to be as elegant as humans. They're trying to imitate their voices so they learn how to talk. And it's just a very strange world and it's a tug of war between the limit between a human being and what a very sophisticated technology can represent about yourself. It's a reflection about mortality and what you can leave behind and what you can pass on to others. And I think it's a reflection about being human. Strangely, some of the most human characters was one of my themes generally, I think some of the technology especially these furniture robots are more emotional and more real, more human, certainly than you'd ever expect technology to be then some of the human.

Just a normal fanboy of Troye Sivan. I love writing stories, I am aspiring to be either a teacher, a psychologist, or an author. And I hate sports. I don't know why, but I suck at sports. I also love DotA 2 and that's rare for someone who loves Troye. I have a liking for music, particularly Coldplay and Arcade Fire. I also like Lorde, The xx, Radiohead and lastly, Troye Sivan.

Skill Level Beginner
I'm going to show you how to do a couple of specialized audio edits. The first one's called a J or an L-cut. In our particular case, we're going to do an L-cut, but it's just kind of a directional thing. The other case, I want to show you how to insert clips into a place where you want to have smooth audio and you don't want to disrupt that audio, but you do want both audio clips to somehow mix together. So we'll start with that J/L-cut concept. I'm going to take this clip here of my daughter and our dog, and our dog is running along here. Actually it's me with a camera, pretending I'm a dog.
At the end, my daughter says, good boy! I'm going to take this other clip and we're going to sandwich those two guys together. I'm going to do a little edit here in a moment, but inside the next clip, she says good boy. Well, we don't want to have her go good boy, good boy. We just wanted only one good boy. So let me just do a little edit here, where she says good boy and he's looking down. I'm going to trim that away, that point. Now I want to get him just arriving, sort of like right about there where it's logical for the two clips to go together.
So let's see how that works. So we want to get that boy- boy thing out of the way. We want to take the audio from this first clip and have it go under this next clip and remove the part where she says boy again over in this second clip. So let me go to that second clip and get to the point where she says boy. Right at that point she's done. So I want to take this part of the audio away, so that we don't hear the word boy twice and there's a trick to doing that. You want to just edit just this part of the clip, just the audio part of the clip.
Now, you can right click on that clip and say Unlink Audio and Video. Now they're unlinked but they're actually still selected. So I click away. I can select only the bottom one, and I can then track this guy to the right, but watch what happens when I drag to the right. It's going to do a ripple edit. It'll close the gap and it's going to slide the audio to the left and I don't want to slide it to the left. I want it to stay put. I'm going to go Ctrl+Z to undo that. This time I'm going to hold down that Control key in Windows or the Cmd key on the Mac. That's going to make it not to ripple edit anymore. it's going to make it just a standard edit.
It's going to keep it in place. There is this little gap that we just made. Now that's one way to make that gap. I'm going to undo all this and show you a keyboard shortcut to do that. Ctrl+Z undoes that and Ctrl+Z now puts these guys back together. They are now linked together again, because you can see the V and the A saying that's the video part, that's the audio part. I'm going to do that little keyboard shortcut, which is the Alt key on Windows and the Option key on the Mac. So I press down the Alt key. That means now I'm going to affect just this clip on the bottom. Notice that it's the only one highlighted, and to make sure I don't have it slide over again as it did last time, I'll hold down the Control key in Windows and the Cmd key in a Mac, so I got two things going on at once here, and now I'm going to drag to the right.
To the right to the Current Time Indicator, it'll snap and it leaves that lovely little gap. Great! So now we go like this. Oops! Silence, and now we're back. So, I need to fill that silence somehow. I'm going to take the audio from this clip and drag it under this one, so the audio here will continue and then it'll join up with this audio and then it'll continue as my dog runs off screen there. So I need to make this audio go to the right. Now, I think you have already kind of deduced how that's going to work. All I need to do is use that keyboard shortcut I just mentioned.
I'm going to Alt, let's say I want to click only this clip, and then I press Control, so that we don't have any problems with issues about pushing things to the right. Slide that guy over and fill that gap. And now let's listen to the sound here. (Video playing) Now it picks up the audio going back, as if it were seamless, which is really how you want your audio edits to sound. You want them to sound seamless. Okay, let me show you another little audio trick, and by the way let me remind you that is an L-cut. See the shape.
looks like an L. If I drag this way, it would have been a J-cut. Just so you know the difference. In fact you're just taking the audio from one clip and putting it under another in some fashion, J or L. Let's take this clip, which has music on it. When you work with music, there's always issues about, what if I stick stuff inside here, won't that mess up the music? And the answer is yes. It would mess up the music. So here we've got this lovely figure skating routine. Now I want to put another clip, a tight shot, right there inside the music.
I'm going to go here and show you that tight shot. Here we go. I want to get that right where she's about to start jumping. She's got it right about there, she's going to take off, and down here, I want to get right where she's about to take off and somehow match those two guys up using my Arrow key to go forward here, and line those guys up. So I've got this thing lined up. I'm going to take my endpoint and put it right there so that they line up. I'm going to drag this down here and put it right there, hold down my Control key so I don't shove everything to the right and I do an overlay edit, close you.
Let's see how that works. It's not going to work by the way. Oh my gosh! You don't want the music to go away. That would be just horrible. So there's a couple of ways to deal with this. I'll show you the way that I think is easiest. So it's fairly simple to deal with this. We'll just use this methodology where you press down the Alt key or Option on Mac and click on this audio track and drag it down to another audio track here, the Narration track or to the Sound track, doesn't matter which one it is. They're still linked back up again. See the A and the V, that means they're linked together.
And so I can now still play that, the audio is still the same. I'm going to line this guy back up again to where she was about to do her jump, right about there, go back up to here. That should have the edit point in it still. So I'm going to drag it down, let me get out of the way so you can see it, to this point here. I'm going to hold down the Control key on the Windows, Cmd key in a Mac to do an overlay edit instead of an insert. And now what we've done is we have not affected the audio down there. Let's just close this so you can see what I did. (Video playing) Now, I'm thinking, by the way, that I really want to trim this guy a little bit.
So I should have trimmed the end before I put it down but I think you get a sense of how that works. You take the audio, hold down the Alt or the Option key, pull it down to another track, and now, when you lay this guy in there with an overlay, it doesn't cover up the audio that used to be here, it's out of the way, and it will not be harmed in the process. So that's how you do these two specialized kinds of edits: the J or L edit, or this edit where you can keep the music without cutting it in two.

Skip to comments.Hillary Said to be 'Warming' to 2004 Presidential Run

Hillary Said to be 'Warming' to 2004 Presidential Run
Former first lady Hillary Clinton is warming up to the idea of a presidential race in 2004.
So says Chicago Sun-Times gossip columnist Michael Sneed, who tells readers Wednesday that she's "heard" the news from sources she doesn't identify, but adds, "Stay tuned."
On Sunday Mrs. Clinton repeatedly insisted that she currently had "no intention" of making a White House run - ever.
But when pressed by NBC "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert, Clinton refused to flatly reject the possibilty she could change her mind.
RUSSERT: Never? You'll never run?
CLINTON: You know, Tim, I have no intention of running for president.
RUSSERT: Oh, but that's a--no intention. Either "I will never run" or "I might run."
CLINTON: You know, your good friend and mine, James Carville, told me, "Tim will ask you this 900 different ways," but the answer is the same. You know, I do not intend to do that. But what I do intend to do is, you know, to be the best senator I can be, which is what I'm trying to do to the best of my ability every single day.

Clinton Scandals
Sen. Hillary Clinton
Consider seriously your support of any and all new programs and positions being created. Do you want a Hillary Homeland Security? Well why allow it now? Bad precedent will be this administrations worst legacy it doesn't have to be this way if enough people protest to the GOP. Think seriously on the matters and don't be quick to give it all you blessing unless you have weighed carefully the possible long term results of current proposals.
Quick! Pour a truckload of ice water on her. Nobody wants her to get too warm.
We also need to take these little hitlery "feelers" seriously and do what we can to expose her so she doesn't have a chance. That evil witch is a scary power monger whether these new bills are passed or not.
Great Googly, I hope she's not wearing Old Crusty while she's "warming"! Gag alert!
Oh yea a close one to my heart there. But here's what most never heard afterward. Hillary Care is alive and in place. Look up Tenn Care and Tennessee State Income tax threads. The Medicaid funding for Tennesse's disabled was re-distributed among the masses in a Universal Health Care scheme in Tennessee. HMO's blackmailed Tennessee doctors into this system. I have no love nor sympathy for HMO's they are congressional mandated and protected shell games and frauduant by the very nature of their set up. But that's another story.
BTW I didn't support neither the GOP Paitents Bill of Rights nor the Dems. I supported HMo's being removed from letigation protection all together. I did not support the Patients bill of rights for the patient as no party should enjoy elevated status in court.
I'll bet that Janet Reno would beat him to it and then beat him to a pulp for trying.
Don't kid yourself. Several Freepers can tell you this much. I was posting in the spring of 2000 Bush would not win by but a hair if he won at all. I was right. People in FR kept laughing at that prediction about robot Gore's strenght. Ignored was the fact Robot Gore was taught by the best of the best for dirty politics and I don't mean Bill Clinton either. Clintons do not care how they get power that should be a lesson none should doubt. She is a very serious threat as a canidate. Those who take her ambitions lightly are in for a rude awakening. No I don't support the hag just being realistic about it.
Liar, liar! Pantsuit on fire!
Maybe a Presidential run would be a good thing. Air all the dirty laundry so to speak. Expose and examine ALL the crime committed by Willy Jeff and Hillerbilly. Polarize the opposition to governmental largess.Looks like a bad thing at first glance, might be a good thing upon further reflection.
She'll melt.
He's yesterday's man.
I think it will be someone like our junior Senator, the ambulance-chaser.
That settles it. She's an antichrist.
Oh! Now THAT IS nasty looking! Whoa!
I agree with you for the most part. Hillery would easily capture a minimum of 30% of the vote. There are 20% of voters who would never vote for anything other than a democrat and a bunch more with special interest in the ex-co-dependent. And, let us not forget the dead voters.
Since the crushing defeat of '94, the Dems and the establishment media have been in overdrive. The corrupt drivers of Gore campagne would re-assemble and try another coup.
I fear that if a man who looked and acted just like Hitler ran as a Democratic canidate, he would get 30% of the vote, including many jewish voters!
I guess she DIDN'T intend for his plane to come down either!!!!

Shell Oil Is Suing Us?
Shell Oil is suing the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations over its plans to drill in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas -- the Polar Bear Seas -- of America's Arctic this summer.
The Polar Bear Seas are home to 20 percent of the earth's polar bears. Even worse, an oil spill there would be a disaster: it's dark two months out of the year, and the closest Coast Guard station is a thousand miles away, making cleanup a nightmare.
Stand up to Shell and sign our petition today.
100 Coal Plants Retired...Wait, Make That 106
The Sierra Club and all Americans who want clean air took a giant leap on Leap Day when Midwest Generation announced that the Fisk and Crawford coal-fired power plants in Chicago have been scheduled for retirement.
Crawford officially became the hundredth coal plant to set plans for retirement since the Sierra Club launched its Beyond Coal campaign in January 2010. And on the same day, February 29, GenOn Energy announced plans to retire several of its oldest, dirtiest coal plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio, bringing the total to 106.
Best Internship on Earth
Are you ready for an internship that will get you out of the office? This summer, spend June, July, and August hiking, biking, rafting, climbing, exploring -- and chilling!
The Best Internship on Earth unites young environmentalists with community outreach programs that focus on outdoor experiences. The 2012 Outdoor Youth Ambassador (aka "intern") will travel around the country with the Club' s Mission Outdoors programs and document these experiences for the Sierra Club. He or she will receive a generous stipend plus $2,000 of products and apparel from The North Face. Apply now!
Move Not Those Bones
Coal mining in Appalachia destroys more than mountains. Hundreds of historic family cemeteries are threatened by mountaintop-removal operations.
It's no accident that many Appalachian family cemeteries are on the tops of mountains. People wanted to be buried out of the reach of floodwaters. In the past, mountaintops represented safety. Today they represent easy access to coal.
Larry Gibson of West Virginia watched a bulldozer plow through a 300-year-old family cemetery containing hundreds of graves. "Who does that?" he asks. "Who destroys a cemetery? Now my people are part of the topsoil."

The earth's polar regions are vast, wild, and virtually untouched -- and now they're in danger from oil drilling and climate change. This spring, the Discovery Channel will air Frozen Planet, a miniseries in the tradition of Planet Earth and Life that will take us to both poles and bring us face-to-face with the wild beauty of these pristine places.
Sign up now to host a Frozen Planet house party. Invite your friends, watch a DVD of the show, and take action to protect America's Arctic this year. We'll give you everything you need: a DVD of the episode, a how-to guide, fact sheets, and ways to take action.
TransCanada Says It Will Build Rejected Tar Sands Pipeline
TransCanada, the company behind the rejected Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, sent a letter to the U.S. State Department on February 27 announcing its intention to circumvent U.S. environmental review and build the southern portion of the proposed crude oil pipeline from Cushing, Oklahoma, to Port Arthur, Texas.
"With this announcement TransCanada is telling Americans that it is above the law," Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune says.
Write your senators today and tell them to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline and to put clean water and clean air ahead of Big Oil's profits.
Mississippi Sierra Club Leader Rose Johnson Featured in Ms. Magazine
Longtime environmental justice activist Rose Johnson has played a key role in the success of the Sierra Club's work on the Gulf Coast, from leading post-Katrina community recovery efforts to supporting the fight against Mississippi Power's proposed Kemper County coal-fired power plant.
Born and raised in the historic African-American community of North Gulfport, Johnson is the founder of the North Gulfport Land Trust. Ms. Magazine recently recognized Johnson's commitment to her community with this profile.

2010 Chery QQ3
Good car, bad manufacturing problems
As the owner of a brand new car, I didn't expect to have these problems.
First the outlet system of this car had to be replaced twice, which was done once under warranty. Then the alternator, which is busy failing again.
There after the headlights (parks) just died.
But the worst of all, after about one and a half years my dashboard started to crumble. I was trying to get Chery S.A. involved, but with no luck. In 2015 I got hold of someone in the consumer centre. The lady responded by saying "if your warranty is finished your car can fall apart, it has nothing to do with us". Wow, how dare you!
The car looks good, but when you look at the dash with big holes in it, you won't say it was brand new with one owner.
General Comments:
This is a reliable car. If Chery can sort these problems and acknowledge the manufacturer's defaults, I will buy another car from them. But for now I won't refer anyone to buy their products.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
