Seele also was a teacher, writer, district clerk, state legislator and postmaster. Recruited by Prince Carl, he accompanied the settlers' wagon train to New Braunfels in 1845. His great-great grandson, Randy Rupley, is translating Seele's diary from the years 1850 through 1852. In this passage, originally written in German, Seele is describing the culmination of four months of work to build the festival grounds and planting trees. The festival lasted several days with Seele leading one of two parades. SEELE: 'We had breakfast, played music, danced, sang and tapped wine from the keg and drank until five in the afternoon.' Thursday, July 4,1850 The celebration began early this morning with cannon fire. At seven this morning I went to town, thankful I could make it down there. A small parade of singers and sharpshooters carried two flags to the market place. Once there, songs were sung, the Declaration of Independence was read and after a few toasts and cheers, the parade continued on to the Comal where the sharpshooters departed with friendly thanks for our accompaniment. They brought back the flag and departed. Rain shower. In the evening I revived in the company of the ladies. A young lady gave me a scarf, which I wore the entire day and often used. I drank cocoa. I would have liked to have gone to eat with Miss Bianca; but a little too exhausted or disciplined, I stayed behind. After a short nap on a mat, back out in the parade with the singers.

Phone service was restored about 11 a.m. Friday, but trouble continued over the weekend. Customers experienced problems with Caller-ID on Saturday and phone service remained intermittent through Monday. It was hard to identify a specific area of town or phone numbers where the problems occurred, Izbrand said. Problems were isolated depending on the amount of traffic in and out of the New Braunfels switch, he said. "Between that failure and where we are now, there continue to be malfunctions in the system that technicians are trying to work out," he said. Pharmacies did their best to help their customers' who couldn't wait for their medication. "It's a tough situation," Rust said. "There's been situations that we've had in the last few days where we've had to kind of take it on the chin and hope that everything turns out all right. "We didn't have a choice. If people had to have something that was very critical, we just went ahead and did it on tile hope that there wouldn't be a problem." The phone problem appeared to have mostly cleared up by Monday afternoon, according to Scott Schumann, pharmacist for Landa Pharmacy.

Local pharmacies, others, endure fourth day of trouble By Jo Lee Ferguson Staff Writer Local pharmacies helped their customers as much as possible Monday as New Braunfels suffered through a fourth day of telephone difficulties. The unreliable Southwestern Bell service wreaked havoc on pharmacy services unable to verify insurance coverage and co-payments online. The pill was bitter for patients and pharmacists alike. "That process cannot happen, and it hasn't been able to happen hardly at all since Friday afternoon," said Dennis Rust, pharmacist manager at Comal Drug. "There were a few people who just elected to just try to go to San Antonio." Some patients had to decide whether to wait to have their prescriptions filled or pay for the medicine in full and seek reimbursement from their insurance companies, he said. The phones were working better by Monday afternoon, and the pharmacy was playing catch-up to fill its orders, Rust said. New Braunfels' phone woes began Friday, when service to an estimated 29,000 to 31,000 telephone customers was disrupted. A switch in the New Braunfels central office failed along with a backup system, according to Southwestern Bell spokesman Joe Izbrand. "There are two switches in the New Braunfels central office.

Members of Mexican group Kombo Kolombia have been discovered dead in a well near the Texas border following a kidnapping on Friday morning (25Jan13).
The band was performing at a private party in northern Mexico when at least 10 gunmen, linked to a local drug cartel, took the musicians hostage, blindfolded them and bundled them into waiting vehicles.
One band member managed to escape but not before several of his musician friends were shot and killed following an interrogation, and their bodies dumped in the well near the town of Mina.
The survivor, who is not being named in order to protect his identity, led police back to the well on Sunday (27Jan13), and the authorities have since recovered 12 bodies.
In total, 18 band members have been reported as missing, according to The Associated Press.
The fatal kidnapping is believed to be the latest incident in the ongoing war between rival Mexican drug gangs the Gulf and the Zetas.

Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!!
Whatever "misunderstandings" we may have is mostly your fault. You don't mention anything about the Sony Vaio L in your first, second, or third posts in this thread. That should have been the first thing you mentioned. By the time you do mention it, it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of your point.
It would have been much clearer and to the point, if you mentioned in the first place that you think that Sony was discontinuing the current 3D display to introduce a glassesless display like Sony is selling with the Vaio L series.
Also it would also help if you wrote a bit more in your posts. All of your posts are 1-3 lines, not nearly enough to get your point across, in this case. And it would also help if you provided a link so others can easily see what you are talking about.
It would be nice if Sony did introduce a autostereoscopic display for the PS3, but the first display sold so poorly, I doubt that Sony is going to release another PlayStation display anytime soon. An autostereoscopic display does have some issues that will prevent it from coming out in a larger format. For one thing to see the 3D effect you have to view it from a specific angle (like the 3DS) otherwise the 3D effect is lost, so these type of displays are better suited for now for computer monitors and personal display devices. If you want a display that many people can view at once, this technology still isn't quite ready at a reasonable price point....
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!!
First off, if you were to look it up in the beginning we wouldn't have been argueing over something stupid! If I am not correct that wasn't the topic in hand in the beginning! The topic was about the Ps3/Vita bundle! You kept getting out topic and that was why I got mad! If Sony
made that kind of monitor for the PC, it is only a matter of time before they make one for the Ps3 or maybe they have plans of it for the Ps4! Don't blame me if you don't know how to navigate the Sony website!
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!!
Yes, I agree your topic was supposed to be about a PS3/Vita bundle, but your original post content didn't discuss that at all. So you are the one who got off your own topic from the very beginning! And how am I supposed to "look it up", when you don't specify what exactly you are talking about at first? I can navigate the Sony website just fine, but I can't read your mind.
I looked up a review on the 3D with that product, and it can only support one viewer at a time for the 3D effect. Plus the effect isn't as good as wearing glasses. Right now it is more of a novelty than anything else.
Here is a link to the review: http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/desktop_pcs/sony/vaio_l_series/429594
I don't believe that application would be appropriate for the PS3, since the 3D doesn't support more than one viewer. There have been multiuser versions of this technology demonstrated at CES, but they are considerably more expensive. Plus if you expect multiple people to watch 3D content in HD, the pixel density of one of these monitors has to be much higher than a typical 3DTV, making it even more expensive.
Like I said, I don't expect to see this technology come about for sale to the public for several more years...
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!!
get off the display thing! I'm tired of agrueing, I'm sorry you misread it! That's why I reposted it yet again! get off the display and the main topic is Ps3/vita and it does mention it after the thing about the display! I didn't say anything that wasn't true or fact, get over it!
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!![ Edited ]
It is easy to misread something that isn't communicated well in the first place! Also you also kept going on talking about the display, without clearly making your point, so that added even more confusion to what you were talking about.
You did a much better job in your second thread...
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!![ Edited ]
If you went to the proper website you wouldn't have to read my mind, you would have went to Sony.com and then looked up Vaio L Series computer on the website, since you know your way around it and know the computer can be customanized to the max for the glasses 3d!
I'm sorry you already know all about that! You could: bump up the ram at the max of 16 Gigs, the quad core processor can be maxed to go faster, and have the 2TB Sata HD to 516 Gig SSD to make the information load faster! I didn't go to any ole website for my information before posting! I went and got it from the horse's mouth, Sony.com, instead! Stop these stupid post that make you just sound more stupid than the post before, okay!
Parachutes are like minds, better left open!
Instead of going to that lame website that only shown one of the four models of Vaio L Series and this one you can custom it like:
16GB (8GB x2) DDR3-1600MHz [ $150.00 ], 512GB (512GB x1) solid state drive [ $1,005.00 ], Blu-ray Disc™ player / burner [$150.00
], NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640M (2GB) dedicated graphics [ $75.00 ], 24" 3D LED backlit Full HD touch display (1920 x 1080) [
$250.00 ], 3rd gen Intel® Core™ i7-3740QM quad-core processor (2.70GHz / 3.70GHz with Turbo Boost) [ $245.00 ], and PC
Network Setup (2 PC's) Wired or wireless plus PC Orientation [ $209.99 ] ! Now what wise comment are you going to make that I can't
I might have been unclear on the post, at least I went to the proper website instead of a website talking about the Vaio L Series computer that is stocked and there are two of them, just like there are two of them that can be customized at the max spec above and fyi those spec is plenty powerful enough to do 3d gaming!

Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!![ Edited ]
I don't know what your point is. I already look that up when you finally stated that you were talking about the VAIO L series had an autostereoscopic 3D display. I stated this at the top of this page. Before that, you were very vague and obscure about what you were talking about, so I couldn't go to the proper website.
Unlike you, I looked up someone's evaluation of the 3D display, and it was found to be a novelty, not extraordinary. The effect isn't as good as displays that use glasses. I also provided a link to back up my statements. It looks to me that you are just assuming this looks great on the VAIO L without actually seeing it.
I have actually seen a autostereoscopic display in Las Vegas, and it wasn't that great. Similar to the 3DS, there is a slight sensation of depth and a lower resolution because it had to support multiple viewing angles.
Like I said, this technology isn't quite ready for more than one user at a time at a lower cost. Much more work is needed than you realize...
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!!
This is only a preview of what the Ps4 is and this is a amazing display! In the review from customer not some random website that may or may not be true and possibly bias! I already explained my claim as far as I'm wiling to go and proved more than you! I went to that website and didn't have all the information! They have four different models in the L series! Fyi, the Ps4 Orbis is going to allow two systems run at once! Like the Ps4 and a computer for instance! With saying this, it could mean they are using the display from the L series to be the same display for the Ps4 and it might have both the PC and the tv tuner glasses 3d! Your ability of being closed minded still amuses me and I think it is very entertaining, in other words I'm having a ball and you are upset!

Oh I'm not upset at all.
Actually I'm amused that you come to these conclusions without any real evidence, just pure speculation on your part. Not even the current rumors on the PS4 match what you are saying. In other words, I'm keeping my expectations to be more realistic than you are.
I have already showed you a review on that 3D display that states it is not much more than a novelty, just like the 3DS display. This technology isn't quite ready yet, and it is probably years away from being good enough that most people will be satisfied with. I found it noteable that the video on that page for the L series doesn't even mention the 3D display, and the display is only mentioned toward the bottom of the page. There is probably a good reason for that. If this display had been a revolutionary as you claim, it would probably have been listed at the top of the page, and there would be a lot of press and covererage about this "amazing" display.
If you want to read some more intersting PS4/x720 rumors see this site:
Re: Ps3/ vita bundle to promote the Vita to increase sales!!
"Everything is managed through the simple VAIO 3D Portal, but we found it was largely a novelty experience. You have to sit between 60 and 80cm from the screen for the webcam to track your face and for the 3D to work, which means no lying down or leaning back. You also can't use the system with more than one face, so you'll be watching 3D movies on your own.
If you're happy to sit up and close to watch a movie, though, the 3D effect is generally pretty good. We'd definitely rate passive 3D and active 3D higher than glasses-free at the moment, but there is a definite extra depth to 3D Blu-ray content when viewed on the VAIO L.
The display does have one noticeable downside, though — when you're viewing a white background, you can make out the fine hexagonal gauze that is responsible for the VAIO L's glasses-free 3D. It's not a huge problem, but if you're using the VAIO L for browsing Web pages, or to write a document — like this review, for example — the honeycomb filter can be distracting."

Morrison sheriff testifies in Byron Smith murder trial
LITTLE FALLS — Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel took the stand Friday as the second witness called by the defense in the Byron Smith murder trial in Morrison County.
Wetzel's testimony followed the conclusion of testimony from Morrison County Sheriff's deputy Jamie Luberts.
Luberts testified regarding an Oct. 27, 2012, burglary reported by Smith.
Among items reported stolen from Smith's home was a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun.
Wetzel testified that within the weeks between the October burglary and Thanksgiving Day shooting he was given information that a person not identified in court knew who was in possession of the stolen firearm and where it was.
Wetzel told the court he drove with the unidentified person in his squad car to a secluded location in Belle Prairie where the shotgun was discovered in a frozen swampy area.
Photos were submitted of the weapon as it lay in the snow.
Defense attorney Adam Johnson asked Wetzel if he had any reason to believe the shotgun was not functional.
State prosecutor Pete Orput objected to the question, maintaining it was irrelevant.
Prosecutors had no questions for the sheriff.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have an (unsigned) clause added in an at-will employee manual that states employee may not solicit work from any current or past client of company for period of one year after resignation. Upon resignation, I plan to email or call some clients to advise them that I have resigned from the company to open my own firm, to state that they are my former company clients and that I am NOT asking for their business but I would appreciate any new potential references, projects, or clients that are not, or never have been, clients of my former company. Is this contact a breach? What if former clients contact me about new work - am I free to share my 1-year non-compete and state after this period I would love to work with them? Is this a breach because I reveal company policy?
There is a lot going on with your question. First, the restrictive covenant (the non-solicitation clause) may not be enforceable. You only mention a temporal limitation...it must include a geographical limitation as well. Otherwise it is unenforceable on its face. Also, many employee manuals state that they are not employment agreements. Unless you have an employment contract that states you agree to be bound by the non-solicitation clause, it may be unenforceable for that reason. Second, what counts as solicitation is a tricky area of the law to navigate. The procedure you propose seems safe, but some courts have held that even informing clients that you are opening your own firm is solicitation. Third, you mention a non-compete. Is there a non-compete clause as well?
I'd recommend contacting a lawyer who will take a look at your employment agreement (if there is one), the employee manual and then advise you more completely.Ask a similar question

Episode 13, Friday 29 July 2011
COLLECTORS is coming in loud and clear.
Martin Luther has been an amateur radio operator for 47 years and is Australia's king of QSL card collecting. A QSL card is like a postcard sent between amateur radio operators every time a transmission is made to a radio ham. The card confirms and records the name, address, code, date, time and frequency of the contact.
Almost half a century of talk time is recorded on Martin's collection of cards! Each radio ham has a personal card, which is designed to show their individual interests and Martin, who likes a bit of a laugh, has an identification caricature of himself on his QSL card. His collection is one of the biggest in Australia and would be one of the top collections of its type in the world. It's become a compulsive hobby which has led to lots of lifelong friends!
But it is deep pockets, not airwaves that Leanne Dawes needs to collect her antique dolls. Once she was bitten by the collecting bug, the chase was on, and this globe-trotting collector was determined to have the best dolls she could find. She would go almost anywhere to find a doll that was bigger or better than the one she already had whether made from celluloid, cloth or porcelain. Leanne has around 1500 antique bisque dolls alone, and these are not cheap. She is lucky that her husband has developed an interest in repairing and restringing her finds! Every doll collector's Holy Grail is a French Jumeau doll, and she has her top model. It is now only a matter of time until she hopes she finds the elusive 'googley' doll that she has been chasing.
Ken Adams and Dennis Morton have a SylvaC pottery addiction. What started as an interest in a collection of small brown rabbits, grew out of control after they discovered other animals, sizes, shapes, colours and finish. They tell us that when the British company SylvaC began making ornamental pottery in the 1890s, which also included functional household items, the company's aim was to have a piece in every home. Do Ken and Dennis have them all? There is not much the pair don't have, but it doesn't stop them looking.
It is buried treasure that Gordon thinks he'll find when he goes on an archaeological dig at one of Australia's most significant historical sites, Port Arthur. The site closed as a penal settlement in 1877 and almost immediately became a tourist destination. Over the decades, layers of history have been buried, and these annual digs have unearthed thousands of fragments that have become part of the permanent Port Arthur collection. These small pieces fit together and help to make up a more detailed jigsaw that is slowly revealing how life was at Port Arthur in those dark decades and beyond.
On the lighter side, Warren Brown visits the studio and tells us that it was his love of the artwork of Herge, the creator of the comic book character, Tintin, that inspired him to become a cartoonist.

Anesthesia Awareness?
Honestly I'm very scared about this topic. I'am planning on getting breast implants & I heard the surgery takes about 1 hour and a half. What if I wake up during the surgery? That is very scary... And then again, what if I DONT wake up after the surgery which that one I'm not to concerned about honestly cause I should wake u right ? But the waking up during the surgery is bizarre. Can some one please tell me the People at risk of waking up during surgery?! Cause I don't want to be one of them!
Doctor Answers 11
If you are undergoing general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist, the chance of waking up during the surgery is quite remote. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon and the anesthesiologist ahead of time.
Anesthesia Awareness
In 30+ years we have not seen a case. My advice for you would be to convince yourself that everything is going to go smoothly and have a positive attitude rather than being anxious. The likelihood is you'll find that the surgery felt like it was essentially over in what seemed like moments for you and you'll be happy with the result.
Web reference: http://www.perlmanmd.com
My approach to avoiding anesthesia awareness is to avoid general anesthesia. Our patients undergo Twilight sedation so that they are breathing on their own and in a dream state. We use versed which causes amnesia. All of this avoids the worry of a patient waking up from general anesthesia with a tube down their throat and panicking.

Waking up during surgery
I would definitely relay your concerns to your plastic surgeon and your anesthesiologist. Although this has been reported, it is very uncommon for this to be the case.
Anesthesia awareness
can be managed effectively if you let your anesthetist/anesthesiologist know beforehand so they have a heightened awareness to keep you 'deep' and there are also some methods that can be utilized to provide some objective evidence that you are 'deep enough'. What you fear is a very very rare issue and by mentioning it to your providers, they should have the extra attention needed to prevent you from experiencing that. And you will wake up...
Anesthesia Awareness
Anesthesia Awareness is very rare, some think it does not exist at all. In over twenty years of doing breast augmentation surgery I have not seen a case. I did have one patient who gave a pretty good history of anesthesia awareness with previous surgery. For the surgery I did with her, the anesthesiologist noticed that she did require more medicine than what would be expected for her size. So she was given a little extra medicine during her breast augmentation procedure. For that surgery she had no recall.
I think as long as you have a good anesthesiologist, it should not be an issue. The medicine we use for breast augmentation is not the type that can leave you awake and unable to move. If you are getting light, it should be noticeable before you are awake enough to be aware. Let you surgeon and anesthesiologist that this is a concern for you, and it will make them more vigilant and you more comfortable.

Web reference: http://www.drmele.com/breast-augmentation.html
Anesthesia Awareness
This is more common in cases where the patient has more medical issues and can't tolerate the anesthetic as well. It is really pretty uncommon. Sometimes what you think of as anesthesia awareness is actually just that you remember waking up in the OR, which is actually a good thing. Anesthesia should last just for the actual surgery and not for the time the staff is cleaning up after surgery. Talk to your surgeon. If you are getting a board certified anesthesiologist you are getting the best.
Anesthesia Awareness?
I guess the ultimate answer would depend on the quality of the anesthesia. We have been using general anesthesia for breast augments since 1970 and have never had a patient tell us they were aware of anything during the surgery. We use only board certified MD anesthesiologists.
This should never happen. We have never had a single incidence in 17 years using Board certified anesthesiologist under full General anesthesia
Anesthesia Awareness?
Although your concerns are understandable, the likelihood that you will have any "anesthesia awareness" is extremely small, assuming you are selecting your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist carefully. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully; you will find that everything else, including anesthesia provider, will "follow" this selection, and that you should have a pleasant anesthesia experience. Best wishes.

GoldenLilac. Sound simple? No, not at all.
I sat at the computer, mystified. Chickens, my favourite animal? Would I include them? No, it wouldn't sound permanent.
Shiney, my nickname? No, it just sounded like I had bad grammar.
What, then? I looked out the window, as I so often do, for inspiration. And then, I saw them. The lilacs, in full bloom, their boughs heavy with scented flowers. But I did not see their colour, it was only a greying sillouhette. What was behind them outshined their paltry colour.
I saw behind them, the golden sun. The window faced east, and just above the lilacs the sun was there. I saw it's colour, and I saw the lilacs.
I knew it. An almost magic-like quality was in that scene. It seems to say to me, "Golden Lilacs, the beautiful Golden Lilacs."
Hence, my Protag name, and it's almost magical story.

State roundup for March 1
Scientists monitor sharks
HONOLULU (AP) — University of Hawaii researchers have captured hours of shark-cam video that reinforces the fear tiger sharks strike in other animals.
The video cams of different shark species off the Oahu coast have provided insights about survival behavior, including animals relying on each other for protection.
Carl Meyer, a researcher with the university's Institute of Marine Biology, says nothing really seems to want to hang out with a tiger shark.
Researchers say sandbar sharks, Galapagos and hammerheads prefer to swim together for protection against the fierce predators.
Scientists also have turned to technology developed in Hawaii. They insert a device into the sharks that enables them to monitor digestive behavior before the device is regurgitated.
Researchers hope to expand their studies to sharks in Maui waters.
Garbage truck kills woman
HONOLULU (AP) — A 70-year-old Honolulu woman has died after being run over by a city garbage truck in Kalihi.
Barbara Kato was the third person fatally injured in Oahu by a garbage truck in just over a year.
One of the two other incidents involved a city garbage truck and the other one involved a privately owned vehicle.
Kato was struck Thursday morning by a truck driven by a 57-year-old woman. She was taken to Queen's Medical Center, where she died.
Mayor Kirk Caldwell says the city will cooperate in the investigation.
University forms partnerships
HONOLULU (AP) — The University of Hawaii at Manoa is forming partnerships in indigenous research with two New Zealand universities.
The partnerships with the University of Auckland and Massey University aim to uplift the mana, or spiritual power, and aspirations of indigenous peoples.
The University of Hawaii at Manoa said Wednesday the partnerships have already been fruitful.
The UH medical school and a network from the University of Auckland won a five-year grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health that will allow students to experience three months of health research training in New Zealand.
Native Hawaiian Health Department Chairman Keaweaimoku Kaholokula says the grant will allow the school to help indigenous undergraduate and graduate students to become biomedical and behavioral scientists.

I'm so sorry our country voted for a racist, bigot, fake!
Trump is not my president he marks the end of any social progress that the US has ever had!
- Trump doesn't believe in climate change
- Trump will appoint judges that will make it illegal for abortion ( which is stupid to create unwanted babies I know as I was adopted it sucks! )
- Trump cannot will not and isn't capable of solving all of the problems he claims only he can fix! That is a false prophet!
- Trump is a LOOSER! He didn't make all that money without a silver spoon in his mouth he's never sacrificed anything
- Trump is a draft dodger he never served in the armed forces, because he is a pussy! And not the kind that he likes to grab!
To all the folks that voted for Trump I say this:
- Good fucking luck getting health care after he repeals Obama care! As your diabetic precondition is going to preclude you from getting coverage you idiot! Guess that house of yours is going to get repossessed to pay for your mini stroke! Please make sure your homeless sign states you voted for the person that took your health coverage away!
- I understand your frustration with our government but really? You think this guy who cannot get along with his own party is going be able to get stuff done….
- Trumped up trickle down economics doesn't fucking work! What are you thinking? That you'll find a bunch of gold one day and be uber rich that's just not going to happen! But since your going to reduce the tax burden of the rich be prepared to pick up the slack!
- The military doesn't need to be rebuilt we spend 51% of all our federal tax dollars on the military what are you thinking? Wars are not fought with tanks anymore…
- What a role model for your kids and grand kids!

Oxford EQ
The renowned Oxford EQ is based on the original EQ section of the Sony OXF-R3 large format digital mixing console. It is a 5-band EQ with selectable shelf settings on LF and HF sections. Additionally, separate variable slope low pass and high pass filters are provided. The Oxford EQ also features four different EQ curves that cover a broad array of styles, including some legacy styles which are renowned for their artistic capability. The use of novel coefficient generation and intelligent processing design provides unparalleled performance that surpasses analogue EQ in both sound quality and artistic freedom. The Oxford EQ truly is four equalisers in one plug-in and will provide all the EQ you'll ever need!
- Fully 64-bit compliant
- 5 band fully parametric EQ
- Variable HF & LF filters up to 36dB/Octave
- Algorithm taken directly from the Sony OXF-R3
- Four different EQ types in one plug-in
- Fully de-cramped HF response
- A / B switches (automatable)
- Ultra low noise and distortion
Oxford Dynamics
The Oxford Dynamics plug-in is modeled on the extremely flexible and capable unit used in the OXF-R3 professional mixing console. Resulting from many years research into professional dynamics applications, it offers separate Compress, Limit, Expand, Gate and side chain EQ functions, with full independent control of all parameters. Features such as selectable time constant curves and variable soft compress functions allow the user to confidently tackle all common uses of compression, from subtle unobtrusive level control and mastering functions to the production of great artistic effects. The use of a feed-forward architecture with logarithmic side chain processing, making use of look-ahead techniques, ensures exemplary sonic characteristics and dynamic accuracy, with an artistic capability simply unavailable from other single units, analogue or digital. This highly sophisticated and professional product has the power and flexibility to obviate the need for many of the separate applications most users keep for specific uses.
- 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
- The dynamics section from Sony OXF-R3 console.
- Separate sections for Compressor, Gate, Expander, Limiter
- 2-Band side chain EQ (with audition function)
- Warmth control for extra presence and tube-like warmth.
- Three different compressor types (linear and exponential curves)
- Variable soft knee compressor.
- Separate 5.1 bus compressor (where supported)
- Ultra low noise and distortion.
Oxford Reverb
The Oxford Reverb plug-in is a highly flexible stereo reverberation generator, designed to complement existing Sonnox Oxford applications in providing the user with the highest technical and sonic performance coupled with artistic and creative facility. As well as providing stunning presets, the user has full control over all of its many parameters, including a very comprehensive early reflections section, and integrated 5-band EQ. The Sonnox Oxford Reverb allows the powerful facility to create virtual spaces freely, depending on artistic need, ranging from dry reflection ambiences, room and hall simulations, sound effects, all the way to wide open reverberant spaces with a very large range of possible texture and spatial character.
- 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
- Extremely flexible stereo modelling reverb
- Full control over all of its many parameters
- Independent control of early reflections and reverb tail
- Integrated 5-band EQ
- Over 100 invaluable presets for music and post-production
Oxford Limiter
The Oxford Limiter has been developed from decades of professional audio experience to provide a very high degree of quality and facility in programme loudness control and limiting functions. By employing highly accurate logarithmic side chain processing, along with innovative adaptive timing functionality using look ahead signal acquisition, the limiter provides exemplary performance, whether one is seeking general transparent level control, programme loudness maximisation or heavily applied artistic sound effects.
- Fully 64-bit compliant
- Enhance section to increase perceived loudness
- Reconstruction meter shows 'actual' signal rather than sampled signal
- Auto compensate feature corrects recon errors without losing overall programme loudness
- Attack, release and variable soft knee controls
- Comprehensive dither and noise shaping
- Complete with many factory presets
Oxford SuprEsser
The Oxford SuprEsser is both a very highly-featured professional De-Esser and a Dynamic EQ. There is a simple mode for quick fixes, but also an advanced mode for increased functionality and fine-tuning. The combination of an intuitive FFT display and three listen modes enables the user to easily see and hear exactly where the problem frequencies are, allowing the rapid reduction or removal of the offending audio. As well as being able to trigger the full band compression, only the offending frequencies can be carefully carved out. Since the SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, 'plosives' and other annoyances can also be removed effortlessly, making it more than a simple De-Esser. Additional features include Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing.
- 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
- Highly featured professional De-Esser
- Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
- Transparently controls aggressive frequencies
- Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels (no need to automate threshold)
- Large intuitive graphic display makes finding frequencies very easy

The end of the 30-year-old Space Shuttle Program is old news, but every layoff hits every worker and every family hard when the pink slip finally comes. And a new round of layoffs is scheduled for October.
The folks who lose their jobs at the Kennedy Space Center have a special burden that those at the Houston office don't. In Texas, alimony is limited to three years after a 10-year-long marriage. In Florida, family courts are heavily biased against men, and much of the alimony that's doled out, even to women in their 30s and 40s, is permanent. There's an industry of attorneys who only represent men, including Mens Divorce Law in Orlando. It's the boys vs. the girls from the get-go, and the prevailing attitude is that men are sugar daddies and women are helpless.
Ninety-seven percent of alimony payers are men. In rare cases in Florida, when women are ordered to pay alimony, it's invariably short-term.
Walking papers in hand, laid-off workers must return to divorce court, plead for relief in their alimony payments, and hope against hope that it's coming. It helps to show up with a lawyer, and it helps to expect the worst. A judge told a petitioner several years ago that he should have been saving money for alimony in case he lost his job.
One laid-off worker already filed court papers. What should be an ordinary adjustment escalated once his ex-wife claimed that he, a lead engineer on 100 Space Shuttle launches, quit work voluntarily. Her lawyer is demanding three years of pay stubs and bank statements--and threatening to plunder his 401K for her legal fees. He fears the worst; he declared bankruptcy after his divorce. His attorney wanted--and got--$10,000 up front.
For him and other payers, there is no automatic end to or reduction in alimony, even at retirement, even when the payer is disabled or retirement is required, as with airline pilots. Couples divide marital assets, including pensions--or judges divide them, often giving women more than half--and the payer is expected to work forever or use his assets to pay alimony, even though the ex has gotten her fair share. A payer's new wife can even get embroiled when the ex-wife makes a claim on her resources.
Payers are afraid to tell their stories because they're ashamed, don't want to hurt their children, and because going public might hurt a court case.
Last year, the Florida legislature made a few changes in the laws, and cut down on the wholesale awards of permanent alimony to all, but did nothing to protect people who want or need to retire, and nothing to help the thousands of payers already burdened by crushing debt, with no light, ever, at the end of the tunnel. This year, a grassroots organization, Florida Alimony Reform, is pushing for real change. Opposition will come from the Florida Family Bar, a powerful force in state politics.
Florida citizens - and certainly those who served the Space Shuttle so well - don't deserve to be punished twice, with job loss and another expensive, unnerving trip to divorce court.
As the Space Shuttle sinks, Florida's alimony wars are set to soar.

Grace beckons
I woke up to the sound of silence. It was awkward, like being stranded on a desolate island; claustrophobic and life-threatening. I felt hungry too. The skies were lit in hues of blue and grey, dotted with clouds of the darker sort. The dragons were nowhere to be seen, and there was no one else around either.
The world was still, and only my eyes seemed to move. For a moment I wondered if the world had ceased to exist; or if I had ceased to exist, with this scene being the backdrop of an eternal memory that would haunt me till the end of time.
My thoughts were interrupted by a presence, lithe and graceful. I resisted the temptation to look at her, pretending to be in thought. But as my mind faded away into alternative constructs of fictional reality, I heard her voice. It shattered the silence and brought the world back to life. The world got back to ageing and moving closer to its eminent death.
I looked up and saw her. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the beautiful, blue eyes; eyes which could see through my soul. Her smile lit up my heart, while her slender figure made me feel flustered and warm all over. I hated the feeling. I hated her.
