I log on to internet today only to find this site and LOTS of complaints. I called Butch who insists I (wish I could underline that!) had "Signed a paper saying the pool was recieved in 'satisfactory condition' and all sales are final". I have not left NC today. And I have red hair, no one could miss me Now. If a company is reputable, and really stands behind their products, why would they say, "ALL SALES FINAL". They apparently don't care about customer satisfaction, they lie to get you to buy, then they send you on your merry way.
I would also like to say I contacted the ESPIRIT manufacturer directly, (Jamestown Rd in Columbia SC), their pools from their factory is $1,459.00. How can Recreational sell for LESS than the maker?? Probably the one's they are selling is factory rejects or ones the company had problems with!!!!!!!
I plan to file a formal complaint with their local BBB in Greer. I simply wanted to bring the pool back for a refund. But, this company seems to like the hang up button. Oh, and I called the store in Charlotte, NC and though Butch advised the 18' was only $100.00 less than the 24' ($1,699.00), he would sell it for $300.00 less for $1,399.00. Charlotte sales this pool for this price everyday!!!!!
The only "warrenty" or guarentee they give is "double the difference". They are all liars, thieves, and they deserve to be run out of business!!!!!!
Buyers BEWARE!!!!

store response to incorrect comments
AUTHOR: Brian - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 22, 2002POSTED: Saturday, June 22, 2002
All our staff are trained to sell in an exact manner and we NEVER tell a customer any product may be returned . It is true ... all sales are final , and this is put on the invoice for the customer to read , sign at the sales counter and again sign a SECOND time when the product is received . We have experienced problems in the past with pools where damage has occurred to the poolw wall or the liner which cannot be determined until the pool is built and full of water . Resultant problems from this are horrendous . Pools are never returned .
Perhaps buyers remorse is better fit here but certainly nothing the store has done then or will do in the future will be different . We fully stand behind our product , warranties and guaranties . Retail business is a competitive one and the pool selling season is short . Other stores will give contradictive information in the hopes of making a sale and confuse the consumer in some cases .
We take great pride in our sales presentations and fully explain all parts of the product and the sale price of the pool . Staff are commissioned and of course are rewarded only once the product has been delivered . This pool was sold correctly by the salesperson in all ways . The consumer is incorrect in their opinions and we would be glad to review this situation or any other one with prospective buyers , current or past .
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Let me be clear, this is not a plugin yet. The shortcode is in Easy CSV Importer right now but I'm going to release a plugin to offer this shortcode free.
We add a single shortcode to create a multi level index/directory of categories and posts. Basic in ECI because it is all my client needs but the plugin I will make will allow a lot more to be done with the tables of listed links.
There is a video on YouTub...
What I want is anyone to show their interest. If you like the beginnings of this shortcode and would like a far more advanced ability in it then please let me know.
It will be a simple enough plugin to make and can be created within a day. Then further improvements over 2-3 months will deliver a really nice shortcode that a allows what we often require a theme to do for us.
Thanks all

Put it down
B2S is right,
both of you (Sfer and JL) have too much to offer and contribute to waste your time slinging mud.
With Daffy out for a few more weeks, what are your opinions on who plays in his place? does Ade lead the line or do we give Dempsey a chance?
Where does Bale fit in? as a CF? playing 'in the hole' or would you prefer to keep him wide.
After much deliberation and with Daffy injured and Ade yet to find his best form, I'd give Bale a free reign, maroording where ever he wants. This wouldn't work in all scenarios and when Daffy plays I think it leaves us a little exposed, however Ade, Dempsey, Lennon and Holtby all offer much more to the team defensively than Daffy IMO.
With a fit Daffy, I prefer to keep Bale wide, in order to make the most of available space bring our other midfielders into attacking positions.

COYS!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I'm not sure If Holtby is cup-tied for tonight, so I guess we'll start with Ade up front and Dempsy in behind. I would start with Bale on the left for the first half and see how we're doing, then if needed, move him more inside, and put Siggy or Dempsey on left. Lyon are a very good side, so could be hard to get through the tie, but I still hope we give it a good go, and field as strong a side as possible.
- 1 Reply to john
OK lets give it a go....
When Ade first came to us I thought he was really up for it and he was running around like a kid, chasing back and scoring goals. Since then, and he has form for this, he has slowly melted back to what he was elsewhere. He doesn't look he cares too much.
Defoe is too small to lead the line on his own but at least he is a natural goal scorer and will get his fair share. So, if Daffy is out then we really have no choice as I don't see Dempsey as a Striker - not the way Daffy and Ade are anyway.
Did you notice how Dempsey was shooting from anywhere and whenever he got the chance? Desperate.
Holtby looks good and hopefully he will settle in and find his scoring boots.
Bale? Does anybody really care where he plays when he is playing like this and scoring like he is? Its Lennon that is worrying me. He started the season really well but has gone off the boil. No real output and certainly no goals lately.
Bottom line is, and we all said it, we desperately needed to get at least one more striker in when we had the chance. All this is only IMHO of course, but I think our position in the PL flatters us a little. We haven't steamrollered anybody like most of the teams around us. We have won games by the odd goal or drawn to get a point when others around us have slipped up.If we didn't have Bale we would not be where we are but we can't rely on him all the time.
One last thing, AVB. I don't like him. Sorry, but thats the way it is.
Even though Holtby has only played a couple of games, I would play Ade upfront, Holtby behind and Bale left (as he comes inside anyway). Hopefully get some balls into the box from both sides - and let Holtby do the VdV bit around the edge of the box.

Al Sobotka
Al Sobotka (born October 16, 1953) is the building operations manager for Olympia Entertainment. His responsibilities include day-to-day operations at Joe Louis Arena. He was also involved in the operations of Cobo Arena until Olympia Entertainment relinquished management in 2011.[1] Sobotka is known mostly for driving the Zamboni during Detroit Red Wings games for the past 30 years and for collecting the octopuses thrown on the ice during Red Wings playoff games. The official mascot of the Red Wings is named after Sobotka. Sobotka came in second with 97,261 votes in Zamboni News' 1999 Zamboni "Driver of the Year" Award.[2]
Sobotka's role as Zamboni driver[edit]
Sobotka has been driving the Zamboni between periods at Joe Louis Arena for over 30 years. He is known for taking pride in his work, and he ensures that the arena's ice surface is of the highest quality:
|You know I'm particular, so if I see anything that's wrong -- a little chip of snow or something, you know, all that stuff matters a lot, 'cause a little snow can freeze and a guy hits it, never know what can happen, you know?
When Brendan Shanahan played for the Red Wings he had some nice words for Sobotka:
|Al's very good and he takes it personally. I mean we see him a lot. Everybody knows Al. We're able to go out and make comments to him. He'll know when there's a tough night, you know, in the playoffs, or if it's a humid day and he'll respond accordingly. He'll ask the players after the game, 'What'd you think of the ice?'
When asked about going out and driving the Zamboni in front of 20,066 Joe Louis Arena fans, Sobotka responded by saying:
|Well, some people are a little shy about it and ah, can't handle it I guess... I guess I [got] accustomed to it, over all these years.
Detroit fans often arrive before games time to watch Sobotka prepare the ice for a game. Also, kids can compete to drive around with Sobotka between periods. They learn that driving a Zamboni is no simple task, and that ice preparation is both science and an art that can take years to perfect.[3]
Sobotka started driving the Zamboni early in life, and when asked about his "dream job", he had this to say:
|"It was just a job I got when I was in high school, and I kept at it, working in the maintenance department for a few years, [and] I still enjoy getting up in the morning. If you don't enjoy your work, it's hard getting up in the morning, you know?"[4]
Dealing with octopodes[edit]
Sobotka is also famous for being the employee responsible for handling any octopodes thrown on the ice (see Legend of the Octopus) during a game. Sobotka will grab the octopus with his bare hands and swing it around his head. He typically receives an appreciative cheer from the crowd for this response.
In the April 2006 edition of Sports Illustrated Michael Farber wrote:
"The first face-offs [of the Stanley Cup tournament] were in Ottawa and Detroit at 7:12 p.m., although the unofficial commencement occurred two minutes earlier when an octopus landed on the ice with a splat during 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at the Wings' Joe Louis Arena. Nothing screams 'playoffs' like a cephalopod. (The Red Wings' tradition began in 1952 when two fishmongers realized that the number of tentacles on an octopus matched the number of wins then necessary to win the Stanley Cup.) Octopus-tossing is officially proscribed, but arena superintendent Al Sobotka tacitly encourages it by twirling octopuses over his head as he chugs off the ice after cleaning them up. In this year's playoff innovation, some Oilers fans threw hunks of prime Alberta beef onto the ice in response."
Sobotka said in 1996 that an unofficial record of 54 octopuses were thrown during one game of the 1995 Stanley Cup final series between Detroit Red Wings and New Jersey Devils. He also stated that Detroit fans throw an average of 25 octopuses per playoff game.[5] For his tireless efforts, the Red Wings named their octopus mascot "Al" after Sobotka.
According to NHL rules, if any fan throws an object on the ice in celebration, the supported team could be issued a delay of game penalty. However, the NHL tends to look the other way when Sobotka does his stuff. Frank Brown, the league's vice president for media relations, said in response:
"Every so often, an octopus slips out of someone's hands, and Al is right there to take care of the matter. And he cannot be blamed if, as it tries to break free from Al's grasp, the octopus lifts Al's arm and twirls itself in the air."[6]
In the 2008 playoffs, the NHL issued a warning that while they were fine with Octopuses being thrown on the ice, the Red Wings would be fined $10,000 if Sobotka twirled the Octopus in the air, as bits of the Octopus were getting in the ice and on the opposing goaltender.[7] However, it was announced on May 7, 2008, that the NHL would allow Sobotka to twirl the octopuses, provided that he does so only at the Zamboni gate and not on the ice surface.[8]

New Obama Ad Hilariously, Sarcastically Mocks Romney's Big Bird Gaffe
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | October 9, 2012 | Comments ()
Let me just preface this by saying that, yes, I know: This ad is as frivolous as it is awesome. I appreciate that the Obama campaign has a sense of humor and knows how to use that sense of humor to mock Mitt Romney, but obviously, it's not enough to win an election. He's going to have to improve his debate skills (in fact, he should take these notes from Jed Bartlett). It's not trending in Obama's way right now (in fact, according to Five Thirty-Eight, Obama's chances of winning have decreased by 10 percent since the debate, from 85 to 75 percent, while national polls have put the race at a dead heat).
Momentum has to be stopped if Obama hopes to win, and a funny ad is not going to do it.
That said, this ad -- which is not actually airing on television anywhere -- is fantastic, and people have been known to respond to a delightful sense of humor.

AbstractIn this paper, the investigation and detailed modeling of a cascaded Raman laser, operating in the midwave infrared region, is described. The device is based on silicon-on-insulator optical waveguides and a coupled resonant microcavity. Theoretical results are compared with recent experiments, demonstrating a very good agreement. Design criteria are derived for cascaded Raman lasers working as continuous wave light sources to simultaneously sense two types of gases, namely C2H6 and CO2, at a moderate power level of 130 mW.

"RE: The 'FX' Effect."
There's some really good stuff in this thread. And after reading it, I've decided to add my two cents...I've been shooting Nikon bodies since 1996. I'm sure others have been shooting much longer, and I definitely respect their perspectives. But this is my humble take on the subject.I was extremely happy with the results from my film cameras. I shot the F3 and N90s mostly, but I also shot a few other bodies. I loved the darkroom experience and the magic created by the camera, film, and lenses I shot. When digital came out, I was reluctant to try it, but eventually caved in. I started with a D70, moved to a D200 and then a D300. I was very happy with these cameras and their renderings but there was something missing that I can't explain. I bought an Epson R2400 when I had my D200 and began printing my shots. They weren't bad, but I was never happy with them the way I was happy with my film prints. I also didn't like the perspective of my lenses on DX bodies. Nevertheless, I plodded onward...to the D300. Not much difference in output between the D200/D300. I was blissfully ignorant of the possibilities of FX - until the D700 hit the market. So I bought one.It was as if light came in like a flood - both literally and figuratively. My photos began to "pop" and my prints went from good to spectacular. I wasn't doing anything different, but my results were better. I can't explain it. Perhaps I became a better photographer; perhaps the stars aligned correctly and everything fell into place. I'm not sure of the reason, but I'm sure of the outcome: my photography improved.Now the next generation of FX cameras have hit the market. While I'm certain that these cameras hold advantages over my antiquated D700, I think I'm gonna stick with what I know best. And I have no interest in upgrading my old printer either. The modest 12MP sensor of the D700 is quite enough for 5x7, 8x10, and 16x20" photos. So when all is said and done, I have to realize that chasing the latest and greatest isn't necessarily the wisest course of action for me. Instead, I'll try to learn more about a camera that exceeds my talent as a photographer.But of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong...

Where to hear live music in Montréal
Every band might say it in every city, but in Montréal it's true: we've got the best audiences, not just on Friday and Saturday nights but every night of the week. Going to a live music show here is a glimpse at life as a Montrealer: enthusiastic applause, appreciative hooting and plenty of dancing are pretty much the norm, whether at a small venue or the Bell Centre. Since the 1920s, Montréal has been a musical mecca and nightlife destination, welcoming prohibition-era Americans to burlesque and jazz clubs that evolved into rock venues and dance clubs as the century wore on. Today, massive outdoor summer festival Osheaga, the electronic eclecticism of MUTEK and the indie-rock and hip hop of POP Montreal showcase not only touring bands but local musical geniuses, while throughout the year you can see live music at the following venues dedicated to brilliant music and quality sound. Théâtre Corona, Cabaret La Tulipe (4530 Papineau) and Le National (1220 Ste-Catherine E.): Among several venues that were at one time glitzy theatres, these three stand out for maintaining their theatrical charm – you can even go relax up in the balcony – while welcoming some of the latest and… / Read More →
A Cultural Autumn with Ariane Moffatt
After having spent the summer playing festivals, including the Festival d'été de Québec where she opened for Patrick Bruel, Ariane Moffatt will be taking her 22h22 tour across Quebec this fall and has even scheduled a few stops in France in December. She's playing Club Soda on November 12, and will then put on a number shows in Montreal's outlying cities. "Most of my concerts this fall will be close to home," says the mother of two-year-old twins. Performing arts Despite having to juggle work and family life, Ariane always finds the time to check out emerging artists. "I absolutely love Pop Montréal, the international music festival that took place this year from September 16 to the 20. It's the best place to discover up-and-coming musicians, especially indie music artists, and to revisit well-established ones. There are about 30 halls hosting nearly 400 performers. In 2009, I played at the Ukrainian National Federation's church in Mile End as part of this festival. It was awesome!" Being a mother has also led her to discover—or, in some cases, rediscover—other art forms, like children's theatre. "My sons are still very young, but they have a great attention span," adds the 36-year-old singer…. / Read More →

Montréal Shows Off its incredible fall cultural calendar
We're standing on the doorstep to September, and while we have lived and loved our gorgeous Montréal summer, we can't wait for fall because the city's got a cultural calendar that's bursting with discovery. Looking for something to do? Let's peruse just a sample of what Montréal's got in store this autumn. Dance The pleasure and passion of dance is everywhere this fall, from the lovely pirouettes and astonishing jetées of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal to the raw expressiveness of contemporary dance troupes like La La La Human Steps. Experience the seduction of salsa at the Salsathèque, the passion of flamenco, the amped-up energy of breakdance battles, or the fun of freestyling yourself! History The cooler weather tends to trigger a little nostalgia and introspection, and a great way to let it run its course is wandering through some of our halls of history. Whether you're walking through the city's past with the help of Montréal en histoires cutting-edge app, delving into stories of our communities at the McCord Museum or taking in an exhibition on the fascinating Aztec civilization at the Pointe-à-Callière Museum, a trip back in time is great for reconnecting.

RIDM: The Montreal International Documentary Festival
"Can you paint an odour? What does outer space smell like? Does the smell of saffron make us fall in love?" The nose, as they say, knows. These and many other curious questions are at the heart of the whimsical and sensual documentary film "Le Nez (The Empire of Scents)" by Montreal filmmaker Kim Nguyen, which will open the 17th edition of the Rencontres internationales du documentaire (RIDM) with its world premiere…

Also they also quote "GET PAID OFF ENERGY BILLS," and im wondering is this how they're making their money by having people sign up for a cheaper rate and charge them as well as their main distributor. Not only have they told us to ask our friends and family but they also said "People don't look at their bills as an advantage" to they don't know what they are paying anyway.
Well i checked my bill and so did a few a friends in the company who signed their own household up as a customer and we were being charged by stream and our main distributors! How is that possible when we are supposed to be saving? Thats not saving thats FRAUD AND FALSE ADVERTISEMENT FOR PERSONAL GAIN! I started to think more about what they said in those meetings and it has made it very clear how they are making their money. First they give you this person who supposedly made all this money in another state and he tells his testimonial then they give you the BIG OL' business plan. They tell you all the good reasons to sign up which is $300 to start then they persuade you that you can make money off of ENERGY BILLS. After that they tell you to ask your family and friends because who better to persuade than to somebody that already trust you a FRIEND! Now what they are not telling you is that once you sign up for their internet plan which is $25 a month they automaticly take it from you without notice or confirmation and your electric bill is charged for usage! this is nothing more than a pyramid scam that has found a way to leak in to the system and find loop holes not to get fined! I personally will be doing a full BACKGROUND RESEARCH about all the complaints from every state that has expanded from ignite and stream energy and upon my findings i will be filing a CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS COMPANY.

Looks good! How did you add the social network share buttons? (Facebook, twitter..)
Very Good, but: I have difficult to read it! With my bad eyes, Loads Quick, I like that:) Good Luck with youre site. [Link removed - please post your own topic]
@shaunw321 thank you :)) i added the social network share buttons through a plugin. so Plugin name is . Jetpack
@tinaponting thank you :) why didnt you read it ? color, size which one ?
You website looks nice. Quite good and useful content.
The problem is probably with font's color. It is not exactly black (#000000) and a bit smaller in size.
Also check your page loading speed (copy paste to your browser's address bar) :
There are some 404 (the needed component are not there). I can see you are using WP Super Cache, that is a very good to start with. You might tweak it more in future.
Again, the content is of very good quality.
Thank your ideas. i paste webpagetest.com and i saw 404 problems but i didnt know what the problem of 404 so im not solving that problem. :/
404 error means there is nothing found on that url. You need to find that component and put there. Like,
are actually not present on your server. The easiest way to solve is to put a same named file (s) of very small size (s). Although it is technically not right, but easy to fix the errors as due to these errors some browsers might unable to show content properly, will take extra time to load etc.
thank you so much. i will solve them soon. and i change font color and pixel , probably it is read easier.
#Abhishek Ghosh, i solved problems. Cause of the problem is Syntax Highlighter plugins.
Great. But your website is showing garbled texts now :
Check your Cache plugin settings.
#Abhishek Ghosh, i know, sometimes website is showing garbled texts. But i dont know how to solve Cache settings.
I can not see the HTML Source (as it is showing gabblred texts and chars) to understand which plugin you are using.
If you are using WP Super Cache (if you are using Mod_rewrite or Legacy caching) :
1. Untick the option "Compress pages so they're served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)"
2. Delete the cache.
3. Disable Preloading (if you are using).
4. Pages should load rightly. If not, use PHP Cache.
5. In extreme case, disable the plugin, delete the plugins (read their documentation). Try another plugin.
If you are using W3 Total Cache :
1. Activate preview mode (do not deploy it).
2. Test various settings of compression methods.
Why this happening :
Usually good modern servers caches itself. If we force too aggressively or use improper settings, the ultimate result is improper HTML page conversion by the plugins. The mother plugin for both is the same.
Abhishek Ghosh you are great. i wish i have idea as you. although, im using Wp Super Cache and i changed settings. i hope, it doesnt give any error
Thanks a lot vulturemess.
Its not giving any error right now.
I can see you are using wp-minify. Its quite good for those who has no CDN. You can use DB Cache Reloaded Fix plugin with WP-Super cache.
actually i dont want to use a lot plugins, because my host is so bad. And when i use a lot plugin, site gives a "suspended" error. probably this means CPU timeout.
i want to ask you somethings? Can i use W3 TOTAL CACHE and WP Super Cache both at the same time. And if i use them, it is useful ?
No. You should only use one caching plugin at any one time.
Right, you can not use W3 Total Cache and WP Supercache together.
(They are basically developed from same Cache plugin.)
The host probably has lot of websites on one virtual machine, sometimes they host upto 700-800 sites. Quite obviously they shows various errors. Probably you are facing PHP memory limit.
Its not right for me to advertise on WordPress forum, but if you want, you can contact me through my profile for my own setup of managed WordPress Cloud Hosting for small websites.
thank your ideas. But my friends set it. But i want to wait for a time. and im using WP Super Cache Plugin now. im sure , i'll solve all and never give error anytime :))
No problem vulturemess.
Surely, you can solve yourself; in fact you are progressing in the learning process quite nicely. There is no rocket science behind, to be honest.
If any problem related to caching arises again, please do post in this thread or a new thread.
Hi vulturemess!
The site looks great
A really really minor issue: I cannot read the white text in the upper right corner, above the Facebook/Twitter/Atom feed buttons
Best wishes,
Abhishek, i cant solve problems. always give a new problem. Now, site is so busy and slowly. but i dont understand what a problem :s i need to help :/

Yahoo (YHOO) isn't the only one reversing course today. The stock, which initially rose after the troubled Internet company abandoned plans to spin off its Alibaba (BABA) stake to instead assess a spin off of its core Web properties, are now down, falling 4.4% to a recent $33.33 a share.
And Mark May, the analyst at Citigroup, downgraded Yahoo this morning to a Neutral from a Buy. Read More»
Mizuho Securities analysts Neil Doshi and San Phan did not mince words about the course of action they recommend for Yahoo (YHOO). In a note out Friday, the pair said that selling the core Web business is a better option than spinning off its shares of Alibaba (BABA). And they even have a specific buyer in mind: Comcast (CMCSA)

Mario Gabelli has some advice for Sumner Redstone: Sell a piece of Paramount Pictures to Alibaba (BABA).
The Financial Times reports that Gabelli, Viacom's (VIA) second-largest shareholder, says the entertainment giant can sell a stake in its movie studio to the Chinese online merchant to raise new funds and open the door to produce more films in China.Read More »
Activist investor Starboard Value has made it very clear it wants Yahoo (YHOO) to find a buyer for its flagship Internet business. That buyer won't be Alibaba (BABA). Read More »
Now at $30.85, Yahoo (YHOO) has had a rough ride in 2015, falling almost 39% since the start of the year. Yet at current levels, it trades as if there is no benefit to come from the announced spin off of its remaining shares of Alibaba Group (BABA), says activist investor Jeff Smith.
"Where the stock trades today is really not reflecting any value for the spin off," said Smith, leader of the activist investing firm Starboard Value which campaigned earlier this year in favor of the spin off, before an audience at the Bloomberg Markets Most Influential Summit. "In our view, it reflects the worst case scenario in terms of full taxation. But we think it is a great opportunity right now."
Barrons.com weighed in bullishly on Yahoo back in January, after the company announced plans for the spin off, arguing that the stock price sat below the company's sum-of-the-parts value (see Weekday Trader Extra, "Yahoo Stock Undervalued Ahead of Alibaba Spinoff," Jan. 28). But Yahoo ran into trouble starting in May when the IRS called into question the permissibly of a tax-free spin off. Last month, the agency rejected an initial request for a ruling on the matter.
Last week, however, Yahoo filed with the SEC that it would pursue a spin off whether or not it gets a favorable ruling from the IRS. Still, analysts have lowered price targets,and some arguing that by forging ahead could put shareholders on the hook for a tax liability.

One of the most important aspects of creating a sound in Sculpture is determining the material of the string. So, we can do that here in the Material pad. So, I want to make sure we have a few things set up first. So, a good preset to use to explore Sculpture is this 0000 default, because it doesn't really have much going on in terms of modulation. It's kind of like a blank slate. So, in order to load that, I can go to the Settings menu and then go down to this 12 Tutorial folder and choose the first one, 0000 default.
Another thing I want to check is if I'm playing notes, you can see that the string is animated. I can see the vibration here. If you don't see that for some reason, we can always Ctrl+Click and select Enable String Animation. So, go out to the Material pad. We can move this Material Selector Ball around to adjust the material of the string. (music playing) The material changes. So, basically we're doing two adjustments at once here.
We're adjusting Inner Loss verse Stiffness. So, Inner Loss is the vertical direction, and Stiffness is horizontal. So, Inner Loss is essentially the amount of high-frequency damping that the string material is going to have. So, if you have more Inner Loss, it means the string is not going to ring out quite as much. If you have Less Inner loss, it's going to ring out more. And Stiffness has to do with the rigidity of the material. So, let's explore Inner Loss first. In this left-bottom corner, we have Steel.
So that has low Inner Loss, so that means it's going to ring out, so there's not much damping, and there's not much stiffness either. So, if I move this vertically, I'm increasing the amount of Inner Loss. We can hear, it sounds more muted. It doesn't ring out quite as much. Then if I move to the right, so we still have a lot of inner loss. It's not ringing out but we're increasing the rigidity or stiffness of the material. So, that's more like a wooden-type sound.
And now, if I go down, what I'm doing is decreasing the inner loss. So, the sound is going to start ringing out more, and it's very stiff. So, we have the glass material here. Now notice, in terms of stiffness, when I adjust this, take a look at the string animation over here. So, you can see that when I reduce the Stiffness, the string is thinner and if I increase the Stiffness, it's a thicker string. (music playing) So, another important feature, in terms of this Materials pad, is the Resolution.
So, the Resolution has to do with how many harmonics it's going to use to represent the string material. So, I'm going to go ahead and just set this to Steel, so we've got something that rings out quite a bit. And what I can do is adjust the Resolution. So, if I decrease the Resolution, it's going to use less harmonics to represent the sound. (music playing) Now, it's not making it sound lower quality or lo-fi; it's just changing the timbral characteristics. So, it actually ends up sounding more metallic or enharmonic. So, high resolution isn't always better.
For the metallic sounds, a lower resolution typically sounds better and then at a higher resolution, it's going to use more harmonics to represent it. Over on the left side here we have Media Loss. Media Loss is quite similar to Inner Loss and that it has to do with the amount of damping, but instead of it being based on the string material itself, it has to do with the environment the strings vibrating in. So, if I'm in a setting where there is very little Media Loss, that means that the string is going to ring out more. All right! (music playing) So, you can hear it just rings out for a long time.
If I give it more Media Loss, so I increase the amount, that means it's in an environment where it's not going to ring out as much. So, you could think of it like, well, if I had the string underwater it's not going to vibrate quite as much, so that would be an environment that has a lot of Media Loss. (music playing) So, the other parameter that we have is Tension Modulation, and that's over on the right here. So, this has to do with the temporary de-tuning of when you strike a string. So, if I increase the amount of Tension Modulation, you can hear, when I play some of the notes that it has a temporary sort of pitch modulation that's happening.
So, I'll go ahead and set this back. There're a couple of features in the Material pad that are hidden at first, but that are very useful in terms of performing the string and how it responds across the range of the keyboard. So, if you take a look down here, notice this Keyscale button. So, when I press that we can see Low and High, and we have adjustments for Media Loss, Resolution, Tension Modulation, and even our Material. So, let's start with Media Loss first. We can see that we've got two sliders on the side next to just the main Media Loss slider.
So, the ones in the outside that are in blue are going to have to do with the higher notes on the keyboard, so that's anything above the note C3. The green ones on the inner circle here, those have to do with the low notes, so that anything that's below C3. So, for example if I want the higher notes to be in an environment where there's less Media Loss, if I ring out more, I'm going to decrease that. So, I'll use this blue slider and bring that down. And I want the lower notes to be in an environment where there's more Media Loss, so they'll be dampened quicker.
And so now, if I play the keyboard and I'll play up high, everything rings out for a very long time. If I play lower notes, you can hear there's a lot of damping, and it's very muted kind of sound. And now if I want to set these back to the default, I can just Option+Click and that's going to line it up here with the initial setting. So, let's take a look at Resolution here. I can adjust the Resolution for the higher notes. So, I'll adjust that here. So, we'll have a higher resolution for notes that are above C3, and so we'll give it a lower resolution for notes that are below C3.
So, let's check that out. So, I'll play up higher on the keyboard. (music playing) It's very clean. If I go lower, it's definitely more of a darker metallic kind of sound. So, you can hear that has lower resolution. So, if I want to set those back in line with this Resolution slider, I can just Option+Click and then it's back with our initial setting. And I could do the same with Tension Mod as well. So, we can set the Tension Mod for the notes above C3 and for the notes below C3.
So, one of the cool things is is we can actually Keyscale the material. So, if I move the material selector here-- I'll just set it to somewhere in the center here--and what I can do is adjust the material for the lower notes and for the higher notes. So, for the higher notes it's going to be this blue selector right here. So, I'll adjust that. So, I can set that maybe to a Glass type setting and for the lower notes, that's going to be a green selector. So, right now I can't see it, but if I move my mouse, you can see there's this green line.
So, if I click on that and drag it and I can just select the square right here and move that over to Wood. So, now it's keyscaled so that the lower notes will be more wooden and the higher notes will be more glasslike. So, let's check that out. So, I'll play up high. (music playing) It's very glasslike. If I play lower, it's more of a wooden-type sound. So, it's pretty cool. I'm going to go ahead and set those back. So, I'm going to Option+Click, and that just returns them to their original position.
And what I can do is hide the Keyscaling and there's one other feature in the Materials pad that's useful to adjust, and that's the Release parameter for the Media Loss. So, if I click the Release button here you can see I have this slider on the side. So, what this means is when I let go of the note it can adjust the amount of Media Loss, or damping. So, what I'm going to do is set it so that when I let go of the note, there's less Media Loss. So, the note should ring out more. So, we'll play and let go of the note and it rings out, or I can go the other direction, so that basically when I let go off the note, it's going to be more Media Loss and so it won't ring out as much.
So, you can hear it cut off right away. So, that's the Release parameter and then if I want to hide these features, I can just press the Hide button. So, now we've explored how to choose the material of our string and keyscale it across the range of the keyboard. In the next video let's explore how we can use the objects to excite and disturb the vibrations of the string.

Customer Reviews
Good, but synch could be better
I find notesy simple and easy to use. It works well for off-line use (except for a synchronization issue described below) and is convenient for cross-platform use. Notesy stores notes as files (text, pdf and similar) in a hierarchy of folders in DropBox. Thus it is easy to use on any platform and data import and cross-platform support couldn't be easier. By using DropBox you avoid the need to trust the app company's private hosting service or pay an annual fee.
It has some limitations, however:
- Notesy only synchronizes the folder you are in. This means it is not reliable for offline use -- your notes may be outdated. I have also found that synch speed is sometimes slow; fortunately Notesy is usable while it is synchronizing.
- Notesy does not support renaming or moving notes. You can use DropBox, but it's clumsy, especially since you need to run Notesy and go into the appropraite folders for it to pick up your changes.
- Notesy has no dedicated desktop clients, but this is only a minor concern; the notes are quite accessible on a desktop without one.
I love this app!
i have been using this app for some time now, and i love it! I have written for support and got answers. This application is fully Voice Over accessible which is great. I found this app through the Apple Vis web site for blind and visually impaired phone users, and was recommended. It does sync once you are connected to the net like it says it should. I wrote underground, and was able to sync once I was ground level again. Great job!
my go-to plain text editor
Notesy has been consistent and reliable in syncing between iPhone and iPad. It syncs with well with nvALT for use on Mac desktop, via Dropbox. nvALT does not seem to support folders syncing, but workarounds are simple: Notesy's search function of file names and contents is powerful, and I name Notesy files in a way that makes it easy to find what I'm looking for.

Meridien Marinas Airlie Beach Race Week approaching fast
by Ian Grant on 23 May 2011
IDLE TIME CROSSES LORNA ROSE - Meridien Marinas Airlie Beach Race Week 2010 Teri Dodds ©
Meridien Marinas Airlie Beach Race Week the signature event hosted by the Whitsunday Sailing Club is expected to attract another high standard fleet.
The action packed multiclass regatta from August 12-18 has attracted interest in the Notice of Race from owners representing clubs from the cold latitude ports of New Zealand, Tasmania and the mainland Australian states of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
Southern Queensland blue water racing sailors who regard the popular event as an escape route to test their boat speed in a friendly environment of racing against the local crews are also planning their delivery voyages.
Tracking the compass bearings to the warmer Whitsunday Island waters has become an annual cruise for the veteran Mooloolaba offshore sailors Nick Cox and Col Thomas.
Delivery skipper Col Thomas has become very familiar with the coastal way points and the rewards of racing in what he believes to be Australia's friendliest race week series.
He will again be at the helm of Hans-0n the comfortable Hanse cruiser/racer when they draw the 'battle lines' on the warm waters of Pioneer Bay to defend the traditional yachties wager of a bottle of Mt Gay Rum.
'All the crew are self proclaimed ambassadors for Mt Gay and have been known to enjoy winning a few bottles on the regatta results'. Col Thomas said.
But the Hans-On sailors can expect to have their tactical strategy tested when they line up against a strong fleet of local Whitsunday Sailing Club crews who are equally determined to protect their reputations.
Previous Performance Handicap class champion Reignition cleverly steered by the crafty Charles Wallis and the equally impressive Questionable Logic helmed by Terry Archer are two well prepared short course ocean racing combinations who have the potential to keep the Hans –On liquor locker dry.
The current form of former Rolex Sydney Hobart Performance Handicap trophy winner the Damien Suckling skippered Another Fiasco and the Roger Down helmed True Love suggests the Hans-On crew will find their access to race in uncontested space will be challenged.
Based on the handicap ratings from 2010 when Questionable Logic outpaced her 1.067 handicap to claim a 36 second win over Reignition in the Double Cone-Armit Island race suggests the Whitsunday Sailing Club crews will again be poised to protect the reputations against Hans-On.
The Hans-on crew have come to understand in previous challenges to win the Meridien Marinas Airlie Beach Race Week Performance Handicap title that their mates who race under the Whitsunday Sailing Club burgee develop a more protective attitude on the race course.
This attitude will need to become equally aggressive with the Hans-On crew making a claim to have a 'secret weapon' in the sail wardrobe which promises to lift their chances to win the series and a few bottles of Mt Gay Rum from their local rivals.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, June 17, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta City Attorney Andrew MacKenzie could be forced to look for a new job. Some Augusta commissioners say he hasn't done his job, while others disagree.
MacKenzie will face the very clients he's paid to represent. He has held the city's general council seat for three years. A few months ago, News 12 discovered the city attorney and city administrator have not had job evaluations in years.
"A lack of an evaluation is a real issue, not only with the general council, but with this government as a whole," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
"I call it Salem, Ga., and everybody's on a witch hunt. We should be coming together trying to figure out how we can move forward," said Commissioner Grady Smith.
Smith is talking about a no confidence vote on MacKenzie.
"It means we don't believe you're doing your job, and it could mean you're fired," Mason said.
"I feel like he's done a job that's OK with me," Smith said.
Mason and others are not so sure. Mason has a problem with the city attorney's recent advice on contractual agreements. He also says Mackenzie gave bad advice on the trash contract.
"It's also possible that he needs a reminder of who he works for. We're looking for good sound legal advice and not things that will put us into lawsuits," Mason said.
"Why don't we get into the damn 2013 era with the rest of the counties in Georgia? We have a chance for progression, but they're holding us back with this stuff," Smith said.
Augusta commissioners will vote on this issue on Tuesday night.

text: Seattle Public Schools Alleged fraud in Seattle Public Schools could mean staff changes, criminal charges By Charla Bear • Feb 23, 2011 Gary Davis / KPLU Listen Listening... / The Seattle School Board could soon decide whether some district employees should lose their jobs over alleged fraud within the school system. This week, the board expects to receive the results of an investigation into $1.8 million dollars in contracts for services that might have never been completed, or even started. Seattle school budget cuts to hit staff, support programs and kindergarten By Charla Bear • Feb 10, 2011 Elaine Thompson / AP As schools across the state grapple with huge budget issues, administrators in Seattle say they need to cut elementary counselors, programs for struggling students and full-day kindergarten classes. Those are some of their final recommendations after months of pouring over options. Administrators did manage to shave more than $1.7 million from the budget gap, but they still face a nearly $35 million shortfall. Seattle families have say in school bus reductions, start time changes By Charla Bear • Jan 27, 2011 Eric Gay / AP Photo Seattle Public Schools' latest plan to shore up its budget deficit could mean some students won't have bus service next year and most will have to get up earlier. Families can get more details and voice concerns on these changes and more at a series of meetings starting tonight: Teach for America coming to Seattle this fall By Bellamy Pailthorp • Jan 18, 2011 Listen Listening... / Despite opposition from the local teachers' union and a lawsuit from parents and community groups, Teach for America has announced it will return to public schools in the Seattle area in the 2011-12 academic year. Getting Seattle parents to pay for full-day kindergarten By Jennifer Wing • Jan 18, 2011 Gary Davis / KPLU Listen Listening... / Updated Jan. 27, 2011 to correct projected Seattle Public Schools projected deficit for 2011-12 as $36.6 million, rather than $50 million. KPLU regrets the error. As the Seattle School District deals with a giant deficit, district officials say they're going to get tough when it comes to collecting money from families. Parents have to pay $207 a month to send a child to full day kindergarten. But the district is waiting for hundreds of checks to arrive in the mail. Seattle school officials proposing changes to enrollment plan By Charla Bear • Jan 5, 2011 Seattle Office for Education Now that Seattle schoolchildren have settled in to the new student assignment plan, some changes are on the way. The effort to place kids at neighborhood schools this year has hit a few bumps. Community group sues to keep Teach for America out of Seattle By Charla Bear • Dec 17, 2010 A group of Seattle parents and community members has filed a lawsuit to stop Seattle Public Schools from bringing Teach for America to the city. Goodloe-Johnson apologizes for misrepresenting high school rates By KPLU News Staff • Dec 9, 2010 Gary Davis/KPLU It was a mistake that led to misinforming the public, says Seattle schools chief Maria Goodloe-Johnson. She apologized at last night's Seattle School Board meeting. Goodloe-Johnson says she wants to assure the public that changes have been made to ensure it doesn't happen again. African Americans most affected by low-performing schools By Charla Bear • Dec 6, 2010 The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle African American kids are more likely than any other students to start their educations in Seattle's worst public schools. That's according to a new report from University of Washington researchers. Community groups and school district administrators say it means schools are disproportionately failing kids who already face big hurdles to education. Seattle debating merits of Teach for America By Bellamy Pailthorp • Nov 17, 2010 AP A full slate of public testimony is expected at tonight's school board meeting in Seattle. The board is voting on a controversial proposal to allow new recruits from a national organization called Teach for America into Seattle's public schools. The program places top college grads – who don't have traditional teaching certificates - in underperforming schools. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6
