Leicester man sentenced after inciting people to grow cannabis
Posted on 28/04/08
J. Milton
A Leicester man has been sentenced at Leicester Crown Court today (Monday April 28, 2008) after pleading guilty to inciting people to grow cannabis plants.
Andrew Woolhouse, 53, of Armadale Drive, Leicester, was arrested on March 27, 2007, after police launched an undercover operation into his Abbey Lane business Easy Grow.
The business advertised its service on the internet as a supplier of "hydroponic equipment and lighting for growing marijuana in your own home. With over 14 years growing experience we are the number one supplier of marijuana seeds and feeds in the UK."
The business and its website have since been closed down.
Investigations revealed that Woolhouse had been selling hydroponics equipment, cannabis seeds and other equipment linked with the production of cannabis from his premises on Abbey Lane since 2004.
A search of his home address also revealed that he was growing cannabis in his loft using hydroponics equipment and officers seized 12 plants from the premises.
At a hearing earlier this year (Friday March 14, 2008) at Leicester Crown Court, Woolhouse pleaded guilty to charges of incitement to produce cannabis between September 2004 and March 2007 and the cultivation of cannabis plants.
Following todays hearing, he was sentenced to a year in prison suspended for two years.
Detective Inspector Dave Richardson, who led the investigation, said: "This is the first time Leicestershire Constabulary has put someone before the courts for inciting the production of cannabis in these circumstances.
"Using this legislation has allowed us to take drugs enforcement even further by tackling another link in the supply chain - the equipment supplier who knowingly encourages the production of illegal drugs.
"It was clear from Woolhouses advert that he was encouraging people to grow cannabis and that he profited from the sale of equipment and seeds. Opportunities to obtain a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act in respect of Woolhouses suspected illegal profits will now be considered.

Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?
Health benefits of applesUPDATED 9:51 AM EDT Sep 30, 2013
WPTZ NewsChannel 5's Courtney Kabot tells us why apples are good for your health, especially during cold and flu season.Video Transcript
STING 00:11-00:21 Courtney Kabot, Chazy, Reporting, The original saying about eating an apple a day actually stems all the back to 18-66. "Eat an apple on going to bed ... and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." Well, it turns out... they may be on to something. APPLES ARE SUPER HEALTHY. 5:53:22-5:53:29 Ann Watts, Clinical Dietitian, CVPH, Yeah, cause of the antioxidants, the high fiber content, vitamins C, vitamin B, low calorie, low fat. AND NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO EAT THEM-- NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S APPLE SEASON. 5:48:42-5:48:52 Ann Watts, Clinical Dietitian, CVPH, It helps with the immune system. It really helps boost the immune system. It's anywhere between 15 and 20 percent of your daily value of vitamin C within a medium-sized apple. JUST KEEP THE SKIN-- THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL GET A LOT OF NUTRIENTS. SO DOES IT KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY? 5:53-04-5:53-13 Ann Watts, Clinical Dietitian, CVPH, There has been some observations that have been done over the years, over long term periods, where if you actually eat an apple a day...you do have lower instances of colon and lung cancer. DIETITIANS SAY JUST DON'T EAT A LOT OF THEM IF YOU HAVE TO LIMIT YOUR CARB INTAKE. 1:27-1:42 Courtney Kabot, Chazy, Reporting, Food safety groups put apples at the top the list of fruits and veggies with the highest amounts of pesticides. So either buy organic or just wash them thoroughly. How do you like them apples? in Chazy i'm WPTZ NewsChannel Five's Courtney Kabot. STILL AHEAD,

Skill Level Intermediate
In the previous movie, we took a simple short line of dialog, and we arranged the mouth shapes so that we brought this thing to life and made it speak. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Great! So now the next step, obviously, is to place that inside the face. So let's go into our Library panel and see how we do that. And the best way will be to pick our facial acting rig, right-click, Duplicate this, and we'll call it facial acting dialog, and that will match our mt A dialog symbol that we've made our dialog in. So click OK to that, and there it appears.
Let's double-click on that in the Timeline, in the Library I am in, and now let's make a few little fixes here to line these up. What we need to have happen is to have the timeline of the face perfectly match the timeline of the mouth. So let's double-click on the mouth now that we see it next to the face, and that's the wrong mouth, so let's go back out again. I am going to go back into the Library. Happens a lot this, so bear with me. So now we have our hd 2 face symbol.
I am going to move the timeline back a little bit, so we can see the name of that. We don't want to get lost, so here we go! And the mouth right now is the wrong mouth symbol. So let's right-click on that, and we'll swap the symbol for the mt A dialog, and that's the one that has our great mouth dialog in, so there we go, and let's test that again, click on the mouth. That's it! Next step, select the sound, emotions, and shapes, so click this, hold down Shift and click on shapes, or Ctrl-click, click, click, right-click on that, copy those frames, go back into our hd 2 facial acting dialog scene, or click here, and then on the three new layers on the top--we'll make 1, 2, 3--I am going to paste those layers in here, and let's get rid of this little reference folder, we don't need that anymore.
We created that when we were rigging the thing, but obviously we're done with that now. Okay, so now we have if we play through. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) That's great, and then we have at the end of this, and I am going to just move these to the back just to clear the Timeline. So now we have our Timeline and our custom faces. So the problem will become how do we integrate these custom faces with the dialog? So usually it's easy to get a little bit flustered and quit before you even begin with this, so let's start with basic principles, and we'll work forward.
(character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Okay, so for the first chunk of this, he will start out in the happy face which we can see from our labels here. And actually, these happy labels are kind of confusing because they came with the rig, so I am going to delete these, make this easier to follow, and let's pull this forward by 1, right- click and clear that keyframe. So the only labels that we have now at the top are the ones that tell us where our different emotions should go here. So I like the first one of course, it's nice to start in the A pose, and we'll start from here, and stay happy until about this frame.
So let's put a keyframe in here. And also one little thing to be sure of for whatever reason, make sure that your mouth symbol on the first frame in the Properties panel under Looping is set to Play Once and is set to frame 1 from the start. That way, all of your future frames will line up and play perfectly. So at this point here, we're going to go to mad and sad, so let's make a little F7, a blank keyframe just to make a note of that, and I want to go to the end and pick the angry face, that could be about this one.
So let's select that stack, hold down Alt/Option and drag and move it to there and see what that looks like, and it's probably made a bunch of keys for the mouth that we don't need, so let's delete them, put the mouth level as one continuous line. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Great! So you're getting the rough idea as to how this will work by now. So let's pick a big bright happy face for the D mouth.
If you remember the custom happy mouth that we used for the previous movie right here, that's where he is at his absolute happiest, so I am going to make a little note there. And actually that wasn't an A mouth, that's a D mouth, so I am going to fix that in the Properties. This will be a custom mouth, so let's call it WIDE, and it's nice to use these labels to make little notes and reminders for yourselves, because it's very easy to get lost with these huge timelines.
So again, let's go forward and get the jubilant face and hold Alt/Option and drag that back to here. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now--) Okay, now there is some weirdness happening because this symbol for the mouth got pulled in, and it's the wrong one, so let's right-click on that and go clear that keyframe. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Okay, so there is a lot of stuff going on that needs to be fixed with these tweens. So what I am going to do is to hold the neutral start frame until this point here, and then I am going to start activating tweens.
So it's just a method of right- clicking on each layer, and it allows you to Create a Shape Tween, you Create a Shape Tween, and if it doesn't, then you make a Classic Tween. So here, for example, we can only do Classic Tween because it's a symbol, on these layers as a shape, so we apply Shape Tweening, and we go forth. Let's see what that looks like. (character speaking: I'm happy!) Now, I think the face is moving a little fast with this. I think we should get him into that happy a little sooner. So I am going to drag that to here, see what that's like.
So really it's just that wide open flash of happy, so I am going to move these forward just a little bit. (character speaking: I'm happy!) I am not worrying too much about the mouth right now, but if it does get to annoy you that it's on the wrong frame, then select those new keys and just get rid of them. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm--) Okay, looking good! So then we want the transition from the end pose, the regular happy pose, into the mad or sad pose. So let's keyframe that, and we'll just start making tweens again.
(character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Looking better, so you get the general idea about where we're heading now. So let's fix some little things that are flashing, the creases around the mouth, and I think that's because when we dragged the lines back, there were some layers that got left out. So I can correct that. So that's on this layer here. So the uppercase layers, and this is where it's nice to have uppercase for the custom layers that we use for this symbol that need to be added.
So I am going to hold down the Alt/Option key and drag them to where they will fade in and fade out, and we obviously don't need them here, so let's right-click and remove those Tweens. And here, adding the creases means that we would have to make them move with the mouth. And frankly, for the purposes of this tutorial, it's too much work, but it would be a matter of your personal preference whether or not you wanted to have these creases added for all of the rest of the dialog.
But what I am going to do for the moment is just take them out. So on these layers that are marked uppercase, let's just delete them, and we don't need them here either, so we'll delete them there too. And by here, of course, they are invisible anyway, so I will put a blank keyframe in there. Now, we only see them for this gesture. (character speaking: But now I'm mad!) Now, as you can see, he is tweening here at the end, and we probably don't need him to tween, so let's select these and go Remove Tween.
(character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Now, he goes into that really fast, so let's see if we can punch that a little bit. (character speaking: But now I'm--) So maybe we can add an extra expression because we have this puzzled expression as well. And don't worry about these lines here, we're just going to work with--and the mouth is very distracting, let's switch that off. It would be nice if we could work this shape in. So let's select these instead, grab these with the puzzled stack, hold down Alt/Option, let's drag them in here.
Maybe we can go to puzzled first and then take him into angry, that will be a nice transition. So I'm going to put puzzled to here, select angry, and just let's replace them one to the other. I think I accidentally dragged one to the wrong layer, so let's undo that. You have to be very careful when doing this so you don't accidentally move like one down, or you will cause a problem. So I will have him in the furious here, and we'll begin with puzzled, and once more, let's get rid of the creases on the face, and we've also probably generated a bunch of mouth shapes that are in the wrong state, so let's right-click them and clear those keyframes. So now we're looking better.
(character speaking: But now I'm mad!) And let's slow this down a bit. So I am going to pull the angry face forward just a little bit, so he gets there a little bit slower. Now you can see some weirdness happening with the mouth because it's not tracking the motion of the nose. So let's correct that. Now, we can put in keyframes for the mouth where they are needed. So I am just hitting F6 to do that, right-click on these and Create a Classic Tween, and if you think that mouth is a little high or even too big, you can use Free Transform to apply Motion Tweens and make smaller adjustments or even rotate these, hence the beauty of nesting all of your animation inside other symbols.
And by here, let's move that mouth down because that looks mighty strange with that nose there, so let's see what this looks like. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) That's much better. So just for the sake of cleanliness and making this timeline easier to follow for the tutorial, I will remove these frames. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Imagine how long this scene would have taken me to animate if I didn't have access to that beautiful library of pre- constructed expressions. It would have taken hours.
I would have been here all day, and instead I've been able to put this little scene together really in 20 minutes. It's astonishing when you see actually in practice and in real-time how little effort it takes to do this. You do have to practice with the rig and get used to it and maybe build your own, and you will be really intimately familiar as you create your own characters and develop your own methods and systems. But let's look at this fellow one more time. One last thing I would like to change is, again, adding a slow in here, very important, and I like easing in--or easing out rather--80% usually gives a really nice feeling.
(character speaking: --now I'm mad!) Oops! Let's go back and fix that. So what I am going to do is simply go through all of these, add 80 out, and that gets rid of the mechanical feel where everything is moving at the same consistent speed. Let's see what that feels like. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) Great, and I feel like the mouth at the end gains a little bit of volume from here to there, and there is a beautifully easy fix for that.
I'll make a keyframe under the D, make a keyframe under the A, and you can make it as small as you think you need, or even rotate it, and if you want to do something like rotate the nose, for example, then again, make a keyframe in the same place, Create Classic Tween, Create Classic Tween and maybe do an Ease Out again and then Ease Out here, now we can move the nose just very slightly, very slightly.
And again, nothing stopping you from adding little custom movements here. If you wanted to bring the eyebrows down, for example, simply add more keyframes. Use Free Transform, hopefully the shapes will continue to behave. Let's squish them a little bit. (character speaking: I'm happy! But now I'm mad!) There we go! So that's the method, and as you can see, we break it down into two steps, first pass, we do the dialog, on the second pass I match the head to the mouth.
You could of course do the other way around. You could animate the head animating first and then add the mouth in. It really comes down to what workflow is going to work best for you. I like to begin with the mouth and workout, you might want to animate the entire body, then animate the head, then animate the mouth. I am not trying to encourage you to do one or the other, but I find this is a good approach for me, as you can see, it's a very nice squishy plastic feeling, and other things can be added, for example, if you could articulate the jaw here on this like really wide open motion there.
There is really no end to this, you could keep going, adding more and more subtlety and more and more animation to it. So, as you can see, it's possible to use this system to animate rich lifelike characters very, very quickly. Imagine how long it would have taken me to animate this scene from scratch. It would have required hours, and instead, I was able to put it together in just minutes. So this is the payoff for all the really hard work that we did at the beginning of the course. This is a very flexible powerful way to animate, and I think it's pretty amazing.

Pack less. Be more.
Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Thesis Survey
I am a Master's of Industrial Design Student at Georgia Tech. I am working on my Thesis on Ultralight Backpacking Gear Design with a focus on training for novice Ultralighters. The purpose of this survey is to test some initial concepts and test if any of these directions are worthy for refinement. These are by no means complete or finished concepts, assume that each concept would work and that added weight is negligible.
There is one page on demographics and then two pages of concepts. It should take about 10 minutes to complete.
The survey is linked here:
@mebbottLocale: SoCal
You should probably fix question 5, you're going to get inconsistent results. The initial question implies total pack weight, then the parenthetical explanation changes gears for people who know what "base weight" is. A better question would be "How much does your pack usually weight before adding consumables such as food and fuel?"
@davecLocale: Crown of the Continent
May your n be large.
@tracedefLocale: Southern California
Awesome, sounds like a great idea.
Quick question, I'm already a little confused: Questions 3 and 4 refer to camping and 5 refers to pack weight. Did you mean backpacking for questions 3 and 4? Camping / car camping is not the same as backpacking, they're two different activities with two different goals and gear requirements .. …. the wording may mean different things to different people, so may want to clarify …
I don't know if I spent more than a day or two camping last year but spent may days backpacking on trips of 2 to 5 days …. … Andrew Skurka makes this distinction as well when discussing gear and technique, if I recall correctly …. clarification appreciated.
@bestbuilderLocale: Pacific Northwest
SM, let us know when you have cleared up some of the above posted confusion and I'll be happy to take some time for the survey (but I don't want to waste time on nebulos questions)
@greg23Locale: Colorado
Echoing Mitchell –
Clarify your definitions on weight. Lot of INJTs here…
A lot of folks consider "skin out" to be the base weight number. That way you can't get away with wearing a 1# fleece and carrying your 2# trekking poles so your pack weight is under some magic number.
Then you add consumables.
Then some add "optionals" – the book, the camera, the bear can…. or not.
Also, UL is more of a philosophy than a gear list. Gear lists expand your horizons to what is possible, but it is the "mind set" of examining every item that finally suggests taking only two pair of socks instead of four. Or a tarp versus a tent. After you've made those decisions, then you move on to optimal gear and how to pack it.
@scubahhhLocale: White Mountains, mostly.
and don't let the naysayers get you down!
@cenazwalkerLocale: Southwest
The thing I find most interesting about your survey is comparing the responses here with those over at backpacker.
@detroittigerfanLocale: Ann Arbor
>> The thing I find most interesting about your survey is comparing the responses here with those over at backpacker.
No kidding! I'm having a serious light-bulb moment about what many (most?) UL hikers' priorities are.
This is just a refinement suggestion on the question for "I feel most successful in outdoor activities when…."
All of your listed answer selections can be categorized in one of two ways
1.) Being competitively focused ("I'm somehow better than others") or
2.) Is in terms of learning new things & the effort required to do so.
It does not have answer selections for:
A.) The simple enjoyment of the being outdoors away from our daily distractions, or
B.) Being in and seeing wonderfully beautiful places and views, or
C.) Just having enough uninterrupted time to enjoy the fellowship of your friends or family in a beautiful backdrop.
… All of those experiences I would consider make me feel the most successful on an outdoor trek.

This is Sofia again. I wanted to add that in the configuration page I do select "Whisper to an author of a blog post".
I also wanted to mention that just below the checkbox on the comment page which is followed by "Whisper to blog author(s) (content will not be displayed after submission if you are not registered)", there is an empty drop down select menu. And all of the information that is usually in my side bar (search, recent posts, etc) is now displaced to the bottom of the page and the formatting is all wrong.
Is there something I can do to fix this? I was looking thru the code (I am not a php programmer) and it seems that may be a missing '?>' within the function "display_user_select". Just a guess.

Received an add for a 65 percent off sale and went to the wrong address but the sale folder was accepted. When comparing prices, it was NOT 65 percent off the tag on the furniture but between 10 and 12 percent which would pay for delivery and taxes, an advertizing gimmick. Measured about 6 sofas, the salesman pulled apart a sectional, all to meet the size that would fit. I left a down payment.
I called to cancel the sofa - 2 chairs from Ikea will fit both in the elevator and in the apt and provide seating without bring sofa in by hand up several flights of steps, extra cost, or with a crane, extra cost. Salesman from Baers. Mr. Rodriguez who was very aware of the size limitation, called to tell me he, or the company BAERS, will not cancel the order - or they won't return the money - that I MUST purchase furniture at BAERS. NO REFUND. Hell, the furniture is in their warehouse in Plantation - it's just a paper transaction!! I called American Express - AE will try to get return of $1500.00.
DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING SAID TO YOU AT BAERS EVEN IF YOU ARE A !0 YR CUSTOMER. THIS IS NOT A RETURN AFTER USING THE FURNITURE FOR A WEEK OR A MONTH - THIS IS A CANCELLATION!!! - beware of lies and money hungry mongrels.

Governors warn energy plan could stifle growth
Published: Monday, June 8, 2009 at 8:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 8, 2009 at 8:42 p.m.
BILOXI, Miss. (AP) The price of electricity and fuel could rise sharply and economic growth could be stifled in the Southeast and elsewhere in the country under tax proposals being considered in Washington, several southern governors said Monday.
During an energy conference sponsored by the Southern Growth Policies Board, the chief executives both Democrat and Republican called for open bipartisan discussion of items before Congress. They included cap-and-trade proposals on carbon emissions being pushed by President Barack Obama's administration and billions of dollars in federal taxes on energy production.
Republican Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi said those taxes would drive up the cost of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas, not only on consumers, but on industry.
"These policies have in common that they would all inevitably and substantially increase the cost of energy to American families and American businesses, especially manufacturing," Barbour said.
Industries facing such costs might move overseas into nations with less stringent standards, resulting in little progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, Barbour said.
Barbour and the other governors said that while "the train is moving" toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a new national energy policy will have to include all forms of power from traditional fossil fuels to technologies such as solar and wind power without driving up costs.
"If we don't have reliable low-cost energy, we will no longer be a political power," said West Virginia Gov. Joe Machin III, a Democrat.
At the same time, developing a new energy policy will give states a chance to create jobs, said Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe, a Democrat. For example, there are few spots in Arkansas suited for wind generation, but the state has recently attracted four foreign companies that make the components for wind power, he said.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican, said his state's chief contribution to new energy sources likely would be biofuels produced from crops. He called for a national discussion among state and federal officials to come up with a policy that would not lead the U.S. into "the abyss of the unknown that will put us at an economic disadvantage for the foreseeable future.
"I'm not willing to concede that 535 citizens of the United States know best," Perdue said in reference to Congress.
Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, a Democrat, said his state was pushing solar development, along with power conservation, as a start while looking at long-term economic benefits.
David Ratcliffe, chief executive of the Southern Co., a major power provider, said planning must include all available sources, including renewable energy and nuclear. Southern plans two new nuclear units in Georgia by 2016 and to generate more electricity using wood chips.
Much of the South's power is generated by coal, a main target of demands for carbon reductions. Ratcliffe said technology that burns coal cleaner will be needed as part of an overall energy policy.
"The Chinese have been to my company to study this technology because they want to deploy it in their country," Ratcliffe said. "Shame on us if we don't."

The email post a link where you are directed to the sale page. In it are more details and information to attract customers.
Bottom part of the sales page says that there's one time fee of $17 USD for the materials and refundable within 15 days. The payment page requires the purchasers and billing details and required to fill in another form if the user of the license is different from the purchaser.
Product was purchsed on April 24,2013 and April 26, 2013 I wrote a request for refund to admin. I tried today, April 27 to send an email to the name of company iNet Cash System and email address stated on the order details but it seems the email address is blocked, I tried several times but I couldn't send it.
I visited the members area to try on the product E-Home-Biz but the materials are not satisfactory training materials. Instructions are not detailed unlike other online programs. I randomly clicked on one or two websites and they are phishing sites as warned by my internet security protection.
In addition to phony email addresses and phishing websites in the members area, after purchase, said that a copy of the receipt was sent to my email address key in but when I checked inbox nothing was there. No copy of the purchase or receipt. I have tried many online programs through Clickbank and Clicksure and didn't find any problem on refund. They even send confimation emails about the refund placed.
What worries me was that my friend who owns the credit card was charitable enough to help me earn online and paid for the product, that all details of his card was given.
I did research on the internet to get more info about the company and person, one website publishes this E-Home-Biz site. The E-Home-Biz also uses different email addresses for the owner, the admin, and the members area.
Iwould like to say this as warning to prospective customers who are ready to pay the fee for online jobs, work at home jobs that their particular website home page or sales page was nicely done, that it entices the customers and what was written in there, are not true at all. They made it so attractive that replying to emails just seem very easy. Anybody can reply to emails and information are supplied by them to your inbox daily as they claim but so far nothing. All you have to keep busy is visit their members area which contains a long list of websites. Actually the sales page focused on replying to emails but in the members area, you are asked to register and join companies that will ask you to complete surveys, that is if ever the company choose to send you surveys. Most of the email infos , websites of companies to join are old, way back 2010, 2011.
Lastly, the name Diane or Diana Smith which I research in the internet is just her alias to hide her identity. Even the address and contact no. supplied are fake just to supply details for the server. The name is foreign but the address given is fake address in Philippines.
So dear readers, please be careful buying E-Home-Biz, replying to emails advertised by Diane or Diana Smith. Think twice once it lands on your inbox.

She suggested I hold the puppy since I had only seen them on TV or in books.She then told me the price was $1900.00 I told her I definitely couldn't afford it.Then she went down to $1300.00.I told her I had a 14yr old Beagle home that was not healthy and I thanked her for her time and told her no thanks.
She then said the price was $800.00. I told her I would be back with my husband the next day. She said the dog would probably be gone. Reluctantly I left with the puppy.
A week later I returned with the dog because my Beagle was crying and barking the whole time. He is old and has a heart problem and I felt that this was to much stress.
At the store they told me I had signed a contract and could not get a refund. I must admit I didn't read the papers I signed ,I paid and left with the puppy.
I was pressured into buying the puppy in the first place.
At any rate I then left with another puppy a little bigger than the first one. I don't know what I was thinking I only knew I wasn't getting my money back.
I thought a different dog might work out with my Beagle.
Needless to say I brought that dog back the next day.
Again I explained about my 14 yr old dog and they said they would issue a store credit.I live on a limited income and I am too old to start raising a puppy now or in the next few yrs when I am almost 70.Anyone reading this that can help please post somthing on Ripoff Report.

Is Musicianship Obsolete?
Twenty years ago I held a disdain for music that was not created by people. I didn't care to hear anything programmed, sequenced, or otherwise adulterated. Like puerile trials of manliness, music had to pass a sniff-test of authenticity. In this case it was the "made by humans" test. I suspect this was a backlash that I and my immediate circle of friends experienced and propagated in reaction to the pop music of the 80's (a decade which I still think is a low point for pop music) where musicianship was de-emphasized over looks and marketability to an extreme, even for pop music.
Today, not only do I enjoy quite a bit of non-musician music, I can't tell it apart from the real McCoy. Laptops and more traditional instruments blend in not just pop, but rock, free jazz, out classical, just about any genre. Live shows often feature a full or part time laptop / DJ / turntablist artist.
Electronic music is not new. It has been around in one form or another for 60 years or so. But now it is approaching a level of sophistication that has the potential to render musicians…somewhat unnecessary. Not unnecessary in that we don't need musicians with strong technical ability at all, but that they are no longer necessary for recording sophisticated compositions.
Ah, compositions. This is the key, I believe. I used to listen to music to hear the chops. The busy drummer, the bass player adding elements of melody to rhythm, the great five-minute guitar solo. Now, I find myself listening to the compositions. The ability of software to bring these compositions to market without solely relying on human players, as well as the creativity of modern composers in figuring out how to do so has had a subtle yet profound impact on the evolution of my musical tastes.
Of course, one can argue that improvised music is composed "on the spot" and therefore real, live, carbon-based-form-of-life musicians are needed. Of course. However there are plenty of solo electronic artists who can do the same thing with their computers, pots and pans, and maybe a cheap keyboard. Sure, the results sound different, but the sounds are no less vibrant.
The direction this is heading? Folks like myself with little technical musical ability may eventually be able to record music that others will find enjoyable (or so I hope). There will always be room for musicians of great technical skill as the demand for live music shows no signs of abating. But a new frontier is available to anyone with an open mind and a willingness to explore. And a sign above the gateway says, "Musical ability not required."
3 thoughts on "Is Musicianship Obsolete?"
I don't think technology will ever fully replace musicianship, simply for the fact there are so many intangibles that comes into it, particularly chemistry, not only intermusician chemistry, but audience and band chemistry. Then again, those that don't realize these elements in music from a nonmusician standpoint, might not notice anyway. I know that nearly 95% or better of the studio only projects I've heard through promos and whatever are always missing these intangibles. There will always be a chasm between having people in the same room and moving files to one another.
But Mike, if you ever do release an album, I'll want to hear it. Probably. :D
[…] is consummate musicianship. These prog fans in particular, then, will find Mike Borella's latest opinion piece at Avant Music News rather, er, provocative, as he makes the case that musicianship is becoming […]

Parents of young children will have to address the issue of their child learning how to swim. The question then becomes – who can do a better job of teaching the child to swim – the parent, or a swim instructor? A parent can do a lot to prepare their child for the water. On the other hand, a swim instructor can teach swimming strokes and advanced lessons more thoroughly.

When Universal contacted me about flying my daughter and I to Florida, it took me seconds to respond in the affirmative. Once all was squared away and I knew we were flying to Florida, I had to tell my six-year-old daughter. But how much should I tell her?

#DadsWay Twitter Party Tonight (6/20) at 8pm EST—Win an iPad Mini & Raise Money for NFI
In a unique partnership with Tide + Downy, NFI announces the #DadsWay Twitter Party!
Let's get together and discuss how "dad's way" of doing things—being a more engaged parent, household purchases, household chores (including laundry)—have changed among modern dads.
For every tweet using #DadsWay @Tide & @Downy will donate $1 to @TheFatherFactor .
The following is a post from Christopher A. Brown, Executive Vice President of National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI). Interested in blogging for us? Email here.
If you're a regular reader of this blog—heck, if you know anything about NFI—you know that we're not shy about sharing the research on the importance of marriage to responsible, involved, committed fatherhood. Just in case you aren't aware of this compelling research, children raised in a home with their two biological, married parents do better, on average, on measures of physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being compared to children who grow up in single-parent homes. Moreover, marriage is the primary institution in all cultures that connects fathers to their children.

If You Have a Daughter, #DadsWay Means Dancing
I don't dance. So you can imagine the nervousness and anticipation I experienced upon hearing that Bella, my six-year-old daughter, was to attend her first (and annual) Winter Formal Daddy-Daughter Gala for her Girl Scout Troop.

"Man of Steel" and Fatherhood
"You will give the people of earth an ideal to strive towards, they will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall, but in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders." —Jor-El
As a guy who grew up watching Christopher Reeve and Dean Cain fly through the air as Superman, I was excited to see the new Man of Steel that was released Friday.
Fans of Superman will love the film. The film has been ridiculed for the seemingly extra 45 minutes of excess explosions — of which I can't disagree. But all in all, the film is better than any previous Superman and places the franchise firmly in same line with other great superhero films of the last few years.

Fatherhood Supports Strong Moms & National Family Month
We often say at NFI, we are about the business of "increasing the proportion of children who grow up with 24/7 dads." What does this mean? Well, it means we are happy to align ourselves with people and organizations which work promote protecting children and stengthening families.
If you follow professional golf, you know the U.S. Open Championship is kind of a big deal. ESPN reports that Phil Mickelson skipped US Open practice to attend his daughter's eigth grade graduation.

A week of activities… (from top, left to right)
- We drew out a grid of numbers to count through! Great visual number practice, as well as counting!
- We're counting down to preschool (starts on Monday!) with a book countdown!
- It's Playtime is all about games! Games you can make for your kids at home to play.
- I kept George occupied and busy with a tried and true resource: measuring cups and a pot.
- One of my favorite activities we've ever done is from last year at this time, a puzzle made with blocks!
- And last year we were also practicing scissors skills with a simple and fun straw cutting activity that Henry got a kick out of!
What we're reading this week…(this list contains affiliate links)
Inspiring posts to pin, bookmark, save, remember…
- Need toddler activities inspiration? "I'm Going to Make It" is attempting 100 ways to entertain a young toddler. She's currently on Day 80 (painting with cars!), so there's a lot of activities to choose from already!
- I am taking note of these chapter books to read to 3 year olds and preschoolers that What Do We Do All Day put together. We need some more thought provoking reads for Henry!
- I've been on the lookout for toddler ideas, especially ones that could keep George busy when the baby comes. I think this paper plate paper toss from A Little Learning for Two might be a fun one to try.
Why are my kids always dirty?
Why is it that my boys are always dirty. Seriously. The dirt patch out back seems to be constantly played in and the boys constantly look like this.
They're boys. They like dirt.
Preschool starts on Monday. I hope it'll start better this year than it did last year.
Any tips for the transition?

Hi, i have a event listing system with custom post type. I have the custom post type "event" defined with a custom category taxonomy, so its looks like a event listing directory. But i just found this plugin and i like all its features vary much. I was wondering if there is any way to use the plugin with custom post type rather than using with post type and category.
hope i make it clear.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this movie, we are going to take that Live Trace object that I created previously here inside of Illustrator and we are going to expand it into a collection of path outlines so that we can gain full control over our newly minted piece of vector-based artwork. I've saved my progress as Live Trace flag art.ai. I am going to start things off by selecting this Tracing object here inside my layers panel. So I'll go ahead and expand open the images and then I'll meatball this tracing object to make it selected. Then I'll go up to the Expand button and click on it and that goes ahead and converts the Live Trace object into a collection of static path outlines, meaning that I can't edit the Live Trace object numerically anymore but I can adjust each and every path outline to suite my exacting needs.
Now, notice that the path outlines appear inside of a group. That doesn't help me out at all. So I am going to go up to the Object menu and I am going to choose the Ungroup command or press Ctrl+Shift+G and that goes ahead and separates every single one of those path outlines. Now, what I want to do because, again, I am not sure exactly how the printing process is going to work here. We might be printing on a big white flag, and that means that the printer will apply black and red inks, or we may be printing on a red flag in the first place, so the fabric might start out red, in which case the printer is going to have to apply black and white pigment.
So I am not sure what's going to happen. I want to be prepared for either eventuality. So I am going to divide all the black paths onto one layer, and all the white paths onto another layer, and all the red paths onto still a third layer so that my printer can decide which paths they need very easily. So for starters, I'll click off the paths to deselect them. Then I'll select one of these paths. I'll click on its outline and then I'll go to the Color panel, note the fill, this must be a black path. So let's go ahead and grab all the other black paths as well by going up to this similar icon here inside the Control panel.
I could click the down-pointing arrowhead and choose All or Fill Color. Either is going to work. So I'll just go ahead and go with All this time around. Then I am going to create a new layer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L or Cmd+Option+L on the Mac. That's the keyboard shortcut for creating layers in Illustrator. I am going to name this layer black, and I am going to leave the color set to red actually, just because that will set off the black shapes nicely. I'll click OK. We've got a new black layer to house the black objects, all of which is selected right now. I'll grab that little green square that's next to the Images layer, not next to any one of the selected paths.
So go ahead and grab that guy and drag it up into the black layer and that will move all of the black objects onto that black layer as you can see right there. All right. Now I am going to lock that layer down so that we can easily select through it and I am going to click on one of these white objects, and then I'll confirm that it's white here in the Color panel because it could be the interior of a black shape. So the black shapes, and the white shapes, and the red shapes, they all run into each other because, for example, where this eye appears, this red eye, it's not a red shape against a black background, the way you might think it is.
Instead, it's a red shape, of course, but there's also a hole clipped out of the black background that exactly matches that red shape right there. So you have to be a little careful. That's why I locked down the black layer. I grab that white object. I am just going to click on the Select Similar Objects icon this time around because it will go ahead and duplicate the last behavior. It will select all of the white objects. I'll create a new layer called white by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L, Cmd+Option+L on the Mac. I will call it white, change its color to light blue I think. We definitely don't want to leave it green because we already have a light green layer going on and I'll click OK in order to create that layer.
Now, for some reason, Illustrator's seen fit to go ahead and throw that to the back of the stack, that's not what I want. That happens every once a while. Sometimes it throws things in the wrong direction. I am going to go ahead and twirl close Images. I am going to drag white on top of it, like so. Then notice that the objects here, the white objects are still selected on the Images layer. So I'll grab that green square and I'll drag it up onto the white layer. We've now isolated all the white objects onto the white layer. Now, the red objects are a little trickier.
The reason is that there is a lot of little slivers of red all over the place. The Live Trace feature sometimes gets mixed up when it's looking at transitional colors, when it's looking at those transitional grays and it decides that they ought to be red because there is no other color to choose from. So a lot of these red objects, and you can see that there's just tons of them and we really shouldn't see that many at all. There should be a big background item and then maybe about six or seven items inside of these various sort of crevices here and then a couple for the eyes.
Instead, we have got something like maybe 30 or 40 of these path outlines, most of which we don't need. So if I clicked on one of them, if I meatball one of these guys, then I could see, oh, Look at that. This is some little red thing right next to its tooth. Well, we don't want that so I could throw it away or, this is going to sound crazy, I am going to throw away this entire layer. I don't want any of the red objects because all the work is being done now by black and white. I can just draw a big red triangle in the background and be done with it. So I am going to grab this layer and I am going to throw it in the trash and I am just going to get rid of all the red.
Then I am going to draw a new red shape in the background, but before I do, I might as well expand the size of this artwork. It shouldn't be just 12 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall; it needs to be 5 feet wide by 3 feet tall. So let's change the size of the artboard. We'll do that by dropping down to this artboard tool. You can also press Shift+L, and that goes ahead and selects the artboard in the background and I am going to go up to the Width and Height values up here in the Control panel. Make sure the chain is turned off, by the way, because I want to change these values independently, and I am going to change the Width value to 60in, because 12 inches times 5 feet is 60 inches. So 60in wide; that's a lot wider than it was before.
In fact, if I start zooming out, you'll see just how much bigger the artboard is now. I'll change the Height value to 36in, because 12 times 3 is 36, and I'll press the Enter key, or the Return key on the Mac, and that's how big our flag needs to be. Now, in order to apply my changes, I'll press the Escape key and that will take me out of that artboard mode back into the standard drawing mode. I also need a bleed, since I want the red to go all the way to the edge, assuming that I have to print red on a white flag. Again, I don't know how it's going to work but I might a well give myself a bleed.
So, I'll go up to the File menu and I'll choose the Document Setup command or you can press Ctrl+Alt+P, Cmd+ Option+P on the Mac, and make sure, there's the Bleed value right there, make sure that the chain icon is turned on and then change any one of these items to 72, which is 72 points. That's the same as 1 inch, by the way, and click OK. Now, we've got a big bleed around the entire image. I am going to create a new layer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L, once again, Cmd+Option+L on the Mac, and I am going to call this deep red, because I am going to actually going to change the red color; I am going to make it darker.
I am going to change the color of the layer to gold and then I'll click OK, and I want this guy at the back. So I'll drag it to the bottom of the stack there. Then I am going to create a big, huge, red rectangle by grabbing my Rectangle tool, which I can get by pressing the M key, and I am going to click in this top-left corner of the bleed. That will bring up my Rectangle dialog box and these are the values I will enter, that is 62in, and then I'll press the Tab key, and 38in.
Now you may wonder why 62 and 38, because the bleed is an inch all the way around. So we have to add 2 inches to each of the other values. So that is 2+60 is 62 and 2+36 is 38. Press the Tab key in order to convert those values to points, which are the default measurements for Illustrator here in the States, and then click OK in order to create that ginormous, big, huge rectangle. Then finally, I am going to change the color of the rectangle. It's active here in the Color panel and notice that I am looking at the HSB sliders.
The Hue value is 0 for Red, the Saturation value is 100%, so fully saturated, and the Brightness value is 65.1, where that comes from I don't know, but I want it to be 45. So I am going to darken things up and we'll get this effect here. And this is the artwork so far. You may look at it and say, well, that pirate is kind of lost, even though, by the way, he does look great against this red background. So that takes care of filling in all the proper red areas. We didn't need those jillion or so paths. However, he is getting a little sort of lost in the shuffle.
He's less a piece of flag art, then a tiny little icon against this big red field. Well, obviously, we've got to scale the art, and we've got to modify it here inside of Illustrator as long as we've got the chance. And those are things that we will do in the next and final movie.

Shirley is extremely unpredictable. ex. one day she is sweet and kind and another day she is the total opposite. My blood pressure went up each time I had anything to do w/ her in person or by phone. I know of 4 people who moved in the one year I lived there ( 3 out of the 4 tenants had issues with her too } , the 4th one I did not really know, so unsure how things worked out for her and her roommate.
Do yourself a favor and look for a better rental/landlord situation. I wish I had followed my intuition the first time I met her....Randy was so nice on the phone and in person but she is the opposite. Just wanted to give you an FYI *** Happy apt. hunting.

I hired them to handle one American Express account which I was unable to make payments on due to an unexpected loss of income. In my case they did not do monthly follow-up calls, it would be generous to say they called me once every three months. They were unable to keep track of what collections agency was handling my account, so I had to do that on my own. They even gave my personal cell phone number to the creditor! The eventual settlement they reached was 60% of the original debt. I had to negotiate my own settlement with the creditor at 40%.
Since I did not take the settlement that CSA negotiated, I asked for a refund in accordance with their 100% satisfaction guarantee and was completely stonewalled. What I was eventually told was that since they did get a settlement offer for me, they were not obligated to give me any refund, even though the settlement was much higher than what they promised and they didn't provide the other services they had agreed to. Basically they took $1,800 from me and did nothing in return.
