Would the plugin author consider creating a "lightweight" version of the plugin that would allow me to simply specify the one or two pages I need to be sent over SSL (TLS)? WordPress HTTPS is very convenient -- and a great service to the WordPress community.
But it's killing my time-to-first-byte measurements.
Our WordPress server runs on AWS in an m1.large instance. It's the ONLY app running on that very powerful server. I have tuned Apache. I have installed php caching. I have optimized MySQL. I am running W3C. There is an application monitor measuring everything.
But WordPress HTTPS just kills performance for the whole site. And we're only getting 100 visits (so far) per day. IOW, it's binary. Use the plugin to turn on TLS for one or two contact pages and performance is shot. Turn it off, the site performs.
I would dearly love to use this plugin, primarily because I like having the admin run over TLS and don't care that much about my performance. But as we grow, I can't make the performance trade off for our visitors who only need to see SSL in our contact pages.
Maybe the author would consider a hugely stripped-down version that is performance oriented.

The kids were being harassed by the Blair Witch CultPretty much every single thing can be attributed to something not supernatural. The little twig figures, the stones, (mostly) everything was done by the remnants of the Blair Witch-worshipping cult commune that was disbanded in the 60s, mentioned by Josh in one of the movie's deleted scenes.
- Change that "pretty much every single thing" to a solid "every single thing". The same thought occurred to me: why else would they have deleted such a brief and otherwise harmless scene, unless they thought that it gave away too much?
- Um, then how did the Blair Witch Cult magically cause them to come across the same river twice?
- They are really bad at outdoor survival and navigation. After all, they threw their map in a river.
- You CAN change the flow of a river. It's something that you can't do in a minute, but with a lot of preparation, but you can do it. You can change some markings, scary some boys, and even use magnets to mess with someone compass. Keep in mind: The Cult has more sense that supernatual forces
- Change that "pretty much every single thing" to a solid "every single thing". The same thought occurred to me: why else would they have deleted such a brief and otherwise harmless scene, unless they thought that it gave away too much?
The kids are being stalked by one of the Gentry from Changeling: The LostThey inadvertently walk through a rather nondescript portal to the hedge early on in the film. The rest of the movie is the Keeper who owns the realm stalking them, planning to add them to it's collection. Reality warping is perfectly within a True Fae's powers, and it explains why they come across the same river twice. Josh is the only one who survives the movie ironically, becoming a changeling when he disappears, and then luring his friends to their deaths at the hands of the True Fae.
- I had the exact same thought. Of course, I figured they all became changelings, though the film ended before it was shown.
- Well knowing how they were and what they were after or being chased by...they probably got ripped into becoming Darklings; the dark-woodlands of perpetual darkness and spiky-trees sure do LOOK like the Hedge, Autumn Court Changlings for the WIN!!
The kids are being chased by Slendy
- ...holy CRAP, that makes sense.
- This is now my personal canon.
- But the serial killer who took the kids' lives only stopped because a woman (the Blair Witch) appeared to him, commanding him to release the eighth (would-be) victim. Slendy has never appeared as a woman.
- But several os his known proxies are women. He could've sent a proxy to speak for him.
The Blair Witch is the Demon.Clearly, one of these kids has very naughty ancestors. Both the witch and the demon have similar motives and like to play with their prey. It eventually decides to stop dicking around, possess Josh, and then lure his friends to their deaths for an encore.
Josh killed his two friends at the endWhen the witch claimed her previous victims in the past, she did it through the child murderer because she wasn't able to do it physically. And we know that Josh, who went missing, was in the house at the end because we heard him screaming. And it's implied that his friends are killed at the end, and we never actually saw Josh's body... ever. I'm not saying 100% that Josh killed his friends. But, if it did happened, I wouldn't be shocked.
- I would; they found Josh's bloody clothes and some entrails in bundles of sticks. It's pretty clear that he died a horrible, gruesome, and from his screaming, a painful death.
- The bloody things in clothes/twigs were just teeth. I'm sure the witch could "convince" whoever she was possessing to pull out some of his teeth.
- I would; they found Josh's bloody clothes and some entrails in bundles of sticks. It's pretty clear that he died a horrible, gruesome, and from his screaming, a painful death.
Rustin Parr is still alive.And he killed them. Why else would the climax take place in his house?
- Jossed by the supplements as far as Parr's involvement; he was executed by the town not long after the murders, which he confessed to. The finale does happen in Parr's house though, but to add an extra layer of WTF, the house supposedly burned down decades before the movie takes place - the footage is found buried in the remains. Again, all this is mentioned in the supplements.
The Blair Witch unleashed a Candarian Demon.Makes as much sense as anything else.
- That's just fact as far as I'm concerned.
The Blair Witch was calling Josh a faggot.
- Why else was his remains wrapped in a bundle of sticks?
The Blair Witch was a scapegoat.Elly Kedward, the original "Blair Witch" who was killed during the 18th century, isn't behind the haunting. The forests around Burkittsville have been haunted or possessed since long before her death. Kedward was apparently killed after a strange new disease was already affecting children in the town, and was also apparently innocent. Along with a generally negative attitude toward the area among native tribes who lived in the region before the Blair settlement was ever founded, this would suggest that something odd was going on before Kedward's death. After she was killed, whatever lived in the forest used her story to frighten away most of the town's residents by convincing them that she haunted it. Its chief goal, and the reason why it allowed the film to be made, is to avoid human habitation that might threaten the forest's continued existence, likely because its survival is contingent on that of the woods.
- Based on the motives behind actual witch hunts, your hypothesis is sound.

The one they got me with was a buy three tires get one free promo. This is of course one tire value before taxes and fees.
I usually buy Michelins, but with this promotion, it made their tires a little cheaper.
You have to pay for all four tires up front, then you receive a rebate. The rebate is not a check though like most rebates, it's a "Promotional" Visa card with a short valid date (three months?)
I don't open my junk mail every day and wasn't looking for the rebate in particular. When I opened the generic mailing from PepBoys, there was a Visa card in there. I had to call to find out the amount and write it on the back of the card. The expiration clock was running during this time. The fine print was it was only valid for a few months, unlike gift cards that don't expire for 12 months or more.
Long story short, I didn't use it quick enough and now I'm out $145.00 and Manny, Moe and Joe are smiling all the way to the bank because I got the "BUY FOUR GET FOUR FULL COST SPECIAL".

Bethlehem police said an explosion March 8 at a home was sparked by a methamphetamine laboratory in the basement and have charged four residents, including the 64-year-old homeowner, according to court records.
Police said the explosion erupted three hours before they planned to use a search warrant that grew out of a two-month investigation.
Five residents, including homeowner Elaine Noone, were injured in the blast. Two police officers also suffered minor injuries after responding to the blast.
On Monday, Noone was arrested and arraigned in district court. She is free under $75,000 unsecured bail.
Police have filed arrest warrants for three other residents: Jeffrey Caulfield, 28, and Davina C. Bowler and Daniel James Houser, both 39.

In "Pan's Labyrinth" writer-director Guillermo del Toro has crafted a masterpiece, a terrifying, visually wondrous fairy tale for adults that blends fantasy and gloomy drama into one of the most magical films to come along in years.
The story centers on a bookish girl (Ivana Baquero) existing among the mythic monsters in her fertile fantasies and the more petrifying ones in her real life in 1944 fascist Spain. Living with her ailing mother (Ariadna Gil), evil stepfather (Sergei Lopez) and his compassionate housekeeper (Maribel Verdu), the girl steps into a netherland where the ancient satyr Pan (Doug Jones) gives her three tasks to complete so she can return to her true life as princess of the underworld.
The images are visceral, surreal, bewildering, unnerving. The drama is passionate, profound, tragic, startling. It's a film of horrors and marvels, the tone ranging from savage atrocity to divine benevolence, the movie bursting with provocative ambiguity that provides the stuff of endless debate over the story's meaning and even its outcome.

"The Ford Ka is a handsome city car that's entertaining to drive, but it's small inside and there's only one engine available, meaning rivals offer more space and choice."
The Ford Ka is a three-door city car that competes with rivals like the Kia Picanto, Skoda Citigo and the excellent Hyundai i10. As the smallest model in Ford's range, the Ka retains some of the driver involvement the brand is famed for, but is let down by its engine, which needs to be worked hard to make progress – particularly on the motorway. The Ka is also due for replacement imminently, so our advice would be to wait for the new model to come along.
The 68bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine Ford fits to the Ka returns reasonable fuel economy of 57.6mpg, and while the £30 annual road-tax bill it incurs is unlikely to break the bank, many rivals offer models that are road-tax-exempt thanks to their lower CO2 emissions. The Ka is enjoyable to drive around town and on twisty back roads, but on the motorway its limited power means you'll soon tire of effort needed to keep pace with traffic.
Inside, the Ka offers a decent amount of room for the driver and front-seat passenger, but any adults in the rear are likely to find the sloping roofline cutting into their headroom – although there's good legroom considering the Ka's small stature. While the boot is reasonably sized for a city car, the Hyundai i10 and Skoda Citigo both offer more luggage space, while the Ka also has a pronounced load lip, which makes packing bags in harder than it needs to be.
While there's only one engine available, Ford offers the Ka in six trim levels, including special 'White' and 'Black' editions of the mid-range Zetec. The entry-level Studio does without niceties like electric windows and alloy wheels, so is best avoided. At the other end of the scale, spending the £3,000 or so extra that Ford asks for top-of-the-range Titanium trim doesn't make sense for a car in this price bracket.
We recommend the mid-range Zetec, as this comes with useful extras like split-folding rear seats, 16-inch alloy wheels and Ford's excellent Quickclear heated front windscreen. The options list is relatively limited (there's no sat nav available, for instance) but you can specify parking sensors, a panoramic sunroof and a rear spoiler should you wish.
Reliability hasn't been Ford's strongest suit of late, and the brand sat in 25th place (out of 32 manufacturers) in our 2015 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey. The Ka's safety credentials are also mildly disappointing: while a four-star Euro NCAP rating is far from disastrous, many rivals (like the Skoda Citigo, for instance) managed the full five stars.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Ford Ka isn't as cheap to run as newer rivals
Engines, drive & performance
Ford Ka is fun on country roads and agile in town, but struggles on the motorway
Interior & comfort
Smooth suspension, but Ford Ka is noisy at motorway speeds
Practicality & boot space
Ford Ka has a reasonable boot and useful storage cubbies
Reliability & safety
Reliability should be good, but the Ka has fallen behind in the safety stakes

After completing their first demo CD, it took less than a year before the band found a label in Black Arrows/TTS. The company released the first full-length album, "Eternal Endless Infinity", in Europe and later worldwide.

Wicca Rock[edit]
Wicca Rock - Is it an Incipient Genre[edit]
Hello All. I am soliciting opinions on two articles, each of which I have made contributions on, one of which I have made the major contribution to: Themis music and Wicca rock the latter which I recently re-wrote.
I am completely new to Wikipedia (a few months) and I wanted to introduce the topic of an underground phenomina moving more to the surface.
Likely everyone here knows that there are many Wiccans out there who belong to no coven but who are in essence lone eclectic Wiccans. Given the world focus on ecology/giving back to nature; the preservation of earth and a quest for more wholesome values, Wicca is centered as the only nature-based religion.
Early this year I found it very novel to have encountered a group of music people gathered at "Holy Joes" a club in Toronto at a quasi black-garbed wicca event and got invited to another in middle Ontario. I went and it was pretty amazing. We did a "hand drumming in the woods" session and I was part of the circle. I learned of a band called Themis from one of the teachers (who is in the band) and now many months later after seeing much more and after rounding up the scant few public acknowledgments of this emerging music genre, I am writing about it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nymphetamine labyrinth (talk • contribs) 19:34, 20 July 2008
Maybe not a genre[edit]
I wonder that maybe this is not a new music genre but maybe just another form of music influenced by Wicca.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nymphetamine labyrinth (talk • contribs) 19:34, 20 July 2008
Article alerts[edit]
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the
display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
Thanks. — Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:27, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)
Request for input in discussion forum[edit]
Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content. I have put together the beginnings of an outline for such discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/2011 meeting, and would very much appreciate the input of any interested editors. I am thinking that it might run over two months, the first of which would be to bring forward and discuss the current state of the content, and the second for perhaps some more focused discussion on what, if any, specific efforts might be taken in the near future. Any and all input is more than welcome. John Carter (talk)

Yzi tablet offers Android on a budget
Say what you will about Android, but one of the many benefits includes being able to throw it on cheaper hardware and offering it to the masses. Here's yet another cheap Android tablet, this time from France. The Yzi is a 10-inch tablet with a five point capacitive touchscreen that features support for passive stylii as well. It boasts modest specs, but it seems like a solid deal for the price.

I am sick of seeing ufc and mma commercials on myspace and youtube. I don't care for this stupid crap. It's not a sport it's an embarassment to martial arts. Everytime I want to watch a video on youtube it goes to a stupid UFC commercial and I don't give a rats a*s about it. Watching to stupid people beat the crap out of each other isn't fun for me I find it rather annoying and rather obnoxious. None of the fighters know martial arts. Stupid teenage boys are killing each other in their own backyard cause they think this stupid crap is cool. It's a nuisance. Dana white has no martial arts background neither do any of his fighters. Those stupid women that hold up the numbers aren't that hot they are in their 40s they look like you can see wrinkles on them.
UFC is the ultimate ripoff you expect to see real martial artist you get a bunch of losers who think they know martial arts after just a week of training. The tapout shirts are ugly and overrated. It's just the most boring unentertaining piece of crap I 've ever seen on TV. I would like UFC and MMA to remove their commercials from youtube and myspace. Because when I want to watch a music video or something I want to watch that stupid crap pops up on my screen and I don't care to see the morons on any of my screen. Their ads also contain viruses and tracking cookies. UFC is not martial arts it's just a bunch of over zealous homosexuals adding a little blood to make themselves look tough. Ripoff. I am in no way racist I just see this as a useless televised event that is not a sport and full of idiots.

Drafted: TOR / 1984 NHL Entry Draft
Round: 1st (4th overall)
Al Iafrate ranks high on the list of the most skilled and talented defencemen in the history of the Leafs franchise. Selected fourth overall in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Iafrate is the highest U.S. born draft selection in the history of the Leafs. He made his debut on October 11, 1984 and he would go on to register five goals and 16 assists in 68 games in 1984-85.
Self-proclaimed 'The Human Highlight Film', Iafrate possessed mind-boggling speed for a man of his size on the blueline and a blistering shot that accorded him top honours in the Hardest Shot competition at multiple NHL All-Star Game weekends.
The highest-scoring squad in Leafs history in 1989-90 had Iafrate as the backbone of their offensive attack. He was one of seven 20- goal scorers that season which matched a club record. Iafrate is the only defenceman in the long history of the franchise to record more than one 20-goal season and one of just two players at the position to reach the plateau. He recorded 22 goals in 1987-88 which tied Ian Turnbull's 11-year old record for goals in one season by a defenceman. Iafrate then supplied 21 goals and 63 points in 75 games for the 1989-90 playoff-bound team before sustaining a season-ending knee injury on March 24. Before his trade to the Capitals in 1991, Iafrate collected 81 goals, 169 assists and 250 points in 472 regular season game for Toronto. Only seven blueliners have more career points than Iafrate as a Leaf.
Iafrate represented Toronto at the 1988 and 1990 NHL All-Star Games. Internationally, the native of Dearborn, Michigan played for his country at the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Iafrate played for Toronto, Washington, Boston and San Jose in his NHL career. He notched 463 career NHL points in 799 career NHL games from 1984 to 1998.

Elizabeth Gunn (paediatrician)
Elizabeth Catherine Gunn MBE (23 May 1879 – 26 October 1963) was a pioneer in the field of children's health in New Zealand.
Gunn was born in Dunedin, the daughter of an ironmonger whose interests in medicine led him to change career initially to pharmacy and then to dentistry. She attended Timaru and Otago Girls' High Schools, and from there went to the University of Otago. After a year at Otago she left for Scotland, completing her medical qualifications at the prestigious Edinburgh Medical School in 1903, and then taking postgraduate studies in obstetrics at Dublin University.
After completing her studies, Gunn returned to New Zealand, working as a general practitioner in Wellington before joining the school medical service in 1912. From 1915 to 1917 she worked in the New Zealand Medical Corps, having succeeded in gaining admission to a predominantly-male preserve by her formidable force of character: upon initially failing to gain admittance to the NZRC she took her case directly to Prime Minister William Massey, claiming that this snubbing was injurious to her reputation in medical circles. She served during World War I with the NZMC at Trentham and then on the troop ship Tahiti. On her return to new Zealand she continued to work at trentham, but her own health suffered and she came down with a rheumatic condition.
During her convalescence she travelled, ending up in Britain in 1917. Here she visited child welfare institutions, and became acutely aware of the problems of child malnutrition. On returning to New Zealand she rejoined the school medical service, serving in the southwestern North Island. During her time in this service, based at Wanganui, she became a much feared but much respected character. Her strength of character and certitude had become strengthened by her time in the military, yet her passion for children's health was equally marked. She was also an innovator, introducing regular "toothbrush drill" at schools and promoting the introduction of daily milk drinks for pupils.
Gunn's most notable contribution to children's health was the inauguration of the Children's Health Camp movement. Based on the system of open-air schools used in Britain to aid tuberculosis sufferers, Gunn proposed to Wanganui Hospital Board member B.P. Lethbridge that a simplified system of camps for malnourished children would improve child health. She and Lethbridge had a wager as to the success of such a scheme, and Gunn set about using her persuasive powers in gaining the necessary equipment to open a camp. In November 1919 a group of 55 children arrived at Turakina to spend three weeks under the supervision of Gunn a,d a small group of school nurses and teacher trainees. The camp was a remarkable siuccess. Gunn continued to personally organise and run camps throughout the 1920s, at Turakina and later at Awapuni, Palmerston North. Camps were organised on a military-like schedule, creating an atmosphere that was somewhere between an open-air hospital and a scout camp. Other voluntary health camps started up, and in 1936, a National Federation of Health Camps was imaugurated, with permanent, year-round facilities and substantial government subsidies, some of these coming through the sale of health stamps, postage stamps with a set charity premium which went towards the running of the camps.
Between 1937 and 1940, Gunn served as director of the Health Department's Division of School Hygiene. After retiring from the post she continued to be interested and to work in the fields of child health and paediatrics. Gunn was awarded an MBE in 1951 for her work in child health. Elizabeth Gunn died at Ranui rest home in Wellington on 26 October 1963.

The unlikely star of SXSW: Grumpy Cat
The Internet's famous "grumpy cat" has made a public appearance at this year's South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, Texas.
"Forget Elon Musk or Al Gore. The biggest star of the South by Southwest Interactive festival is less than a year old, sleeps all day and looks like she just swallowed a hairball.
Austin, meet Grumpy Cat.
The real-life cat, an Internet sensation since photos of her sourpuss face began circulating last fall, has been holding court during SXSW at the Mashable House, a temporary lounge run by the tech-news site. People have stood for hours, in lines snaking around the block, to get their picture taken with her.
Grumpy Cat, an 11-month-old mixed breed whose real name is Tardar Sauce, has ignored them all. Mostly she sleeps in a cat bed while fans pass by to pose next to her. Instead of smiling, many of them make pouty faces of their own.
Through it all, Grumpy Cat has remained unimpressed."

Among the many things that define the United States, foods are at the top of that list. And every region has its specialty, whether it is pizza from the East, chili from the North, barbecue from the South or tacos from the West. On the new series America's Best Cook, Sundays at 9|8c, home cooks from the four corners of the country have come to Food Network headquarters to be mentored by FN chefs and battle it out for a chance at winning the title of America's Best Cook.
To coincide with the show, FN Dish has launched the Regional Foods Face-Off, a bracket challenge in which you, the fans, can vote for your favorite regional food. The editors have narrowed it down to four famous dishes from each of the regions, but after four rounds of voting, only one dish will come out on top. Round 4 is now closed.

Skill Level Advanced
So now that I have a great sound going on from my Rap Lead and Double, now is a good time to start thinking about my vocal effects returns that I am going use both on the Rap vocals as well as later on the Hook vocals and the Background vocals. And what I'll start out with is using some of my Long Verb that I already created for my drums, let's go ahead and listen to that. (music playing) Just a little bit of that, I just want to add a little bit of that long space to help tie that vocal back to some of that percussion.
I don't want to really drill it up too far otherwise the vocal is going to get lost and start to sound muddy. We're actually going to give the vocal that sense of specialness using delays and harmonizers and pitch effects. So I am going to leave that down say right around -19, that's a good starting point, we might adjust that later in our mix. And I'll just go ahead and copy that over to the Double, and we'll see how that sounds as we add our other returns.
Now for the next set of returns I am actually going to have to build those now and so I am going to start by adding a new Send Stereo, and we are going to call this Vox Space. And instead of just having a Long Verb I also like to have something that's kind of a very close ambient space for the vocal so that it takes it out of that very dry room that the vocal was recorded in and gives it kind of a nice sense of space and texture so it's not so bare, helps it sit in the track a little bit.
Now what I am going to use for this is a TrueVerb, and I've got a little Preset called Vox Space that I made, and what it is it's just, it's a shorter reverb with some more stereo characteristics, and we can just go ahead and listen to that. Let me Solo Safe. (music playing) Let's mute that Long Verb so you can just hear that Space.
(music playing) And that's just going to give it a nice little sense of space, kind of make it seem as if the vocal was more in the room without washing it out so much. Then we'll add back that out Long Verb. Remember that Long Verb we used a pre-delay of around 30 milliseconds to make sure that the tail was separated from the initial dry sound so that it didn't get lost or sound like it was in the back of the room.
Now I want to add a few more return tracks, I am going to add a Slap delay so we will call this Slap delay, and this going to be a very short delay. I really like the EchoBoy delay because it allows me to choose so many different styles of delay, and for this one specifically I like the texture of a Space Echo. When you think about delays a lot times you think about your basic delays built into Pro Tools and those are really just digital delays, you're getting a tap that sounds pretty much identical to the original sound.
You might be able to EQ it or modulate it a little bit, but it doesn't have any feedback degradation like you would find in a traditional Tape delay where as it regenerates back in the feedback loop it starts picking up artifacts so the pitch starts changing or modulating and the frequency of the signal changes. And so these styles here simulate different types of analog and digital delays, regeneration artifacts, and I really like the Space Echo that's a classic delay, and it works really well for a slap-back style delay.
So as far as the timing of our delay, I am going to go with a 30 second note, I want to make sure switch this to all the way wet because we do have it on a send in return. Now I don't really need any feedback, so just go ahead and listen to what that sounds like, Solo Safe that. (music playing) And I think I just want remove some of the low frequencies from that so it doesn't get too muddy.
So I have a LowCut in here. I could use an additional EQ which I'll do a lot of times on my delay, but I find that this LowCut built into the delay works just fine. (music playing) Let's just do a little cleanup, we're going to move these here real quick. Then I might copy some of these settings over.
I might not copy everything over, in fact I might remove this Long Verb now from the Double so that things don't get too washy. Now another vocal effect that I usually have in my templates is some sort of harmonizer or pitch effect for the vocals so we'll call this Harm. And what I am going to use here, kind of simulating an old even tide H3000 harmonizer effect is go here to Pitch Shift, and it will bring up the Doubler.
And I kind of like some of these Dave Pensado presets, we'll just go with out Pensado Vocal here. Notice the Direct has been turned off because I don't want that direct signal, I am not using it as an Insert effect, I am using it as a return. But I do have my Voices here, and you can see that they're panned left and right, there's a bit of detuning on there so that what's actually going on is there is a little bit of delay for these signals, it's repeating those signals with a bit of delay and then it's detuning them up and down a bit.
So I kind of get this widening and chorusing effect. Now I don't want that to mess with my original signal, so I am going to go ahead take an EQ, and I'm going to aggressively filter out those low frequencies. You know anything right around 250-300 is going to work. Let's just listen to that now. (music playing) Cool. And that just gives a nice little texture to the vocal, helps it connect with the rest of the mix, kind of mix it sound special.
Now I like to at the end of this chain, so after my EQ here I like to add an insert to widen that a little bit more, so I am going to go into my Sound Field and pull up that Center plug-in, and I am just going to go ahead and pull up a little preset. It's basically just the Sides. What this is doing is it's leaving the Sides up and turning the Center channel down and so what that sounds like is. (music playing) Just a little extra width. (music playing) And what you'll notice in the way that I treat a lot of the vocal effects in terms of the amount that I'm blending in is I'll kind of push it up until I can hear them and then bring them back a little bit, because I'm not looking for something that's super overt, I'm just kind of looking to spice it up just a bit.
Now sometimes with certain parts of the song or certain vocals I do want to play it up a lot so you can really hear the effect. But with lead vocals, a lot of time I find less is more and just a subtle sort of subconscious amount of a delay or a harmonizer or reverb is just enough to tie it to the track while still making the vocal sound special. Now I also want to add a longer delay so I have a slap-delay, but I want to add a longer delay here so I am going to add a new return, I am going to call this Long delay.
And again I am going to use the EchoBoy so I could just copy this over, Option-drag or Alt-drag on the PC. And I do like that Space Echo, but what I am going to do here since I already have Tempo tied in, I'm going to do something let's say a quarter note delay so it's a longer delay, and let's go ahead and listen to what that sounds like, so we'll Solo Safe that, bring up that Long delay return. (music playing) Now this actually does need an EQ in this situation because what I want to do is I want to make sure that I'm not muddying up that vocal track with delay taps that are a quarter note.
So just like a reverb any time that I'm using a very long delay quarter note, half note, I tend to aggressively filter that so that it doesn't get caught up in the rest of the track or muddy up the vocal that's happening right at that moment. Because if you think about a delay, it's actually extending that word later into time, and we don't want what's delaying to mask what's actually happening in the vocal at that moment. What I'll do is generally do some kind of telephone shape here and really all that means is just kind of aggressively band-pass filter and getting rid of all the lows as well as a lot of the highs and what that sounds like is this.
(music playing) And the other thing that I like to do with my long delays is process them through a little bit of reverb so I'll just use a D-Verb in this case and so we'll actually have a delay going into a reverb. And I'll just use something like a LARGE HALL, bring that gain up. Now I'm not going to do 100% Wet here, I am actually looking for just about 30%.
And we'll shorten this up a bit so it's not super long. And that's going to really extend that delay and push it even further back in the room, so it's going to kind of darken it up, wash it up a bit, and really create that sense of depth with our vocal. With my Lead vocals what I want to do is I want to send them to the back of the room without actually putting the initial vocal at the back of the room, so as opposed to putting the singer all the way at the back of the room in a wash of reverb and delay what I want to do is have them up front but I want to cast that local all the way to the back end of the mix, so it really creates this nice sense of depth in the vocal that ties it all the way back to all of the instruments, really makes the lead vocals sound special. Check this out.
(music playing) And what I might do is just copy that same Center process over where I was actually removing the Center information and playing up the Sides just to kind of get some extra width on my return.
All right, so just to recap what we did. We created a few returns of Vox Space, a slap delay or a short delay, the harmonizer effect and a longer delay, and we're actually going to reuse those when we get to our other vocals, the adlibs, the hooks, the background vocals and the bridge vocals, so we'll be able to reuse these send effects later in our mix. And it's actually a good idea to put stuff like this into a template that you can import into your session time and time again, and that really saves you time when starting a new mix.

(1) How bad is using category/postname for permalinks?
I've read that using the category/postname or tag/postname or even the postname/ permalink is terrible for server performance. I've read about I've read all the recommendations about using numbers at the beginning of permalinks (year/month/postname) because it's easier to match numbers than posts, especially if of a certain sequence. Supposedly much easier on the server for URL rewriting, got it.
But here's my problem. There is no way I can use an ad server for categories unless a category or tag is in the URL. The alternative is to then use a plugin which determines the category and serves ads for that category, causing even more overhead and work for the server. So I'd prefer to have my URLs be:
(2) Using a plugin or tag to handle permalinks
Next is which to use. Nested categories are killing me. I just want cars, trucks, bikes, buildings etc. - whatever is the main category area. Subcategories like cars/audi and cars/porsche are great for the user to navigate but completely unnecessary in the URL. cars/postname is fine. There are two solutions I can see:
1) /tag/postname/ in the permalink. You have to hack in the code to make it work even though this solution is in the codex. Apparently it was left out in version 3.0 by accident I think.
2) Use an amazing plugin that works so well.
These work incredibly well and it would make sense if you could just set the permalink for each category to be what you want it to be like this is! I worry about (a) server load, and (b) potential incompatibility.
Thoughts anyone?

Definition of crib-biting in English:
A repetitive habit of some horses that involves biting and chewing of wood, especially that of doors and mangers, in the stable, causing excessive wear to the front teeth.
Example sentences
- This vice is similar to crib-biting but the horse does not grab onto anything with its teeth, it learns to gulp down air simply by creating a vacuum in the mouth.
- The heart rate of the crib-biters during crib-biting was lower than during other behaviours.
- Although most foals showed a reduction in crib-biting behaviour over the duration of the trial, the reduction was most marked in the foals on the antacid diet.

Absurdity. Part of a steady campaign, in most cases organized, and the lawyers paid for, by those who have a deep interest in keeping Infidels off-balance, and being led to believe that Muslims are "victims" when in fact they are trying, and will continue relentlessly to try, to remove all barriers not only to the spread, but to the dominance, of Islam, and dominance by Islam means an end to the political and legal institutions, and many of the social arrangements and understandings, of this country, as of every other advanced Western democracy, whose main faults have been their elevating of "tolerance" and "diversity" to Idols of the Age, that cannot be questioned, and that are now being applied in a suicidal fashion when it comes to Muslim penetration into the Lands of the Infidels.
Keeping up a constant stream of such absurdities, as in this case which, even if an eleven-year-old boy misbehaved hardly amounts to a criminal act, and certainly implicates no one but a young boy, and then to make a case of it, is idiotic, but even more idiotic is to take such a thing seriously. When such charges are brought, so absurdly, they ought to be dismissed, or those bringing them ought to be sued, and costs recovered, for the whole rigmarole of investigating what is part of a systematic campaign to keep Infidels fearful of ever doing something in the slightest that might offend Muslims -- while Muslims, all over the world, do whatever they want to Infidels in the lands they rule, and continue to press for every advantage, and every conceivable change, in the Lands of the Infidels into which, through a collective act of negligence, they have been permitted to settle, deep behind what Muslims themselves are taught to regard as enemy lines, the lines of Dar al-Harb.
There is a determination to keep the drumbeat of false claims of victimhood constantly before us, so that we are so busy being apologetic that we will not have time, or will not dare, to begin to try to understand the full meaning, and therefore the full menace, of Islam. It's war propaganda, designed to confuse the perceived enemy, those Infidels, We do not recognize this as "war" because we think in terms of battlefields, and fail to recognize that Da'wa and demographic conquest and propaganda are now the main weapons of the Jihad, supported by the Money Weapon without which Muslims would be, save for that dangerous presence in the Lands of the Infidels, unable to make much of a dent on the world, as they could not before the oil revenues arrived, the only conceivable way that Muslims would become rich, given the permanent economic failure that comes from inshallah-fatalism and the submissiveness to despotism that Islam encourages. That does not mean that Jihad will ever disappear, but merely that the ability of Muslims to conduct Jihad can be permanently contained. Just.

Meanwhile, I also need to guarantee that it is possible to reload snapshot state from external sources (i.e. allow a snapshot redefinition to reinstate metadata).

Glorifindel says to Earnur of the Witch King:
"Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the of hand man will he fall."
From Lord of the Rings/The Battle of the Pelennor Fields:
Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee.
So passed the sword of the Barrow-downs, work of Westernasse. But glad would he have been to know its fate who wrought it slowly long ago in the North-kingdom when the Dunedain were young and chief among their foes was the dread realm of Angmar and its sorcerer king. No other blade, not though mightier hands wielded it, would have delt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will.
During our last class discussion in Bilbos-study, we had quite a bit of discussion about the role of the Barrow-downs blade in the death of the Witch-king. Who or what really killed the Witch-king?
Was the spell of the Ring broken by the blade making him vulnerable to the sword?
