Farewell to global broadcasting phenomenon Sir David Frost
OWING to the cruel irony that Sir David Frost had just sold his £5million Hampshire home to start a new chapter of his life in another county, it's still possible to explore online the opulent Queen Anne rectory where he and his aristocratic wife Lady Carina entertained showbusiness royalty and ex-presidents for 25 years.
The house covers more than 8,000 square feet, with nine bedrooms (at least one of them boasting a fourposter) as well as a drawing room, sitting room, schoolroom, library and study, while the 21-acre grounds include a tennis court, a swimming pool, a croquet lawn and the five-a-side football pitch where the first President Bush enjoyed a friendly kick-around.
It's a far cry from the humble terrace house in Kent where the Methodist minister's son began his life in 1939 but it's symptomatic of the extraordinary road that David Frost travelled.
Named the third most famous person in Britain after the Queen and prime minister Harold Wilson when he was barely 23, Frost came to prominence as the 'infant terrible' of satirical television. He fronted a programme whose attitude was so revolutionary it was credited with ending the age of deference.
A decade and a half later, he achieved a new level of fame when he secured the first interview with the disgraced former US president Richard Nixon, spending $600,000 of his own money on a gamble that paid off not just in the immediate royalties generated by the six hours of television that ensued, but also in an unexpected windfall from the Oscar-nominated movie about that encounter, Frost/Nixon, in 2008.
Along the way the young Turk, with his slurring voice that liked to place its emphasis on the syllable you least expected, had become a knight of the realm. He was a pillar of the Establishment who married a duke's daughter and his youngest son had Princess Diana as his godmother. He was estimated to be worth £200million.
His interviews (including those with six serving British prime ministers and seven US presidents) look cosy and sycophantic nowadays alongside the gruelling inquisitions of Jeremy Paxman or John Humphrys. But politicians knew they underestimated him at their peril.
As a senior Number 10 official once told me: "He may appear gentle but that's often the most difficult interview. It's designed to lull you into a false sense of security and then trip you up. With John Humphrys you know you're going to be treated like a child molester for five minutes so you put your defences up and the public ends up knowing nothing more than it did already."
As part of a clergy family, David Paradine Frost travelled around the country as a child, moving from Kent to Northamptonshire and then to Beccles in Suffolk.
He was a good cricketer and footballer at school and was offered a contract by a Nottingham Forest scout but turned it down because the top wage for a professional player was only £20 a week. He also worked as a Methodist lay preacher before taking up a place at Cambridge.
At university he edited student newspaper Varsity and the literary magazine Granta, and was secretary of the Footlights drama society, whose members included Peter Cook and John Bird. His degree in English was nothing to shout about but academic work was never the priority for his kind of high-flyer.
Just 15 months after he graduated director Ned Sherrin saw him send up Harold Macmillan at a club night and gave him the job of hosting the pioneering new show That Was The Week That Was, in which the likes of Lance Percival, Roy Kinnear, Willie Rushton, Frankie Howerd and Millicent Martin lampooned the Establishment in a sensational fashion. The postmaster general even talked about banning it.
Frost was so famous that people started copying his quiff hairstyle. The show ran for two series, with its frontman also hosting a US version, the start of a transatlantic TV career that would later make him one of Concorde's most famous frequent flyers and lead him to boast: "I'm not driven, I'm flown."
The BBC then commissioned a sketch show called The Frost Report, which launched the TV careers of John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett, while on ITV he embarked on a parallel career as a political interviewer with The Frost Programme, where guests included the Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and Rhodesian premier Ian Smith.
He continued to do these big interviews for the rest of his life, notably on Frost On Sunday and Breakfast With Frost from 1983 to 2005.
While he could be gushing in his flattery (making it clear to viewers that he knew his interviewees off-screen too) he coaxed revealing details from them, such as Ted Heath saying he was waiting for Margaret Thatcher's memoirs to come out in paperback before he read them, Thatcher saying she couldn't think of a significant thing she had got wrong and Bill Clinton claiming he had not loved Monica Lewinsky but liked her a lot.
Frost also kept a foot in the camp of lower-brow television, presenting the panel game Through The Keyhole from 1987 to 2008. But he was also a founder of London Weekend Television and TV-am.
He may appear gentle but that's often the most difficult interview. It's designed to lull you into a false sense of security and then trip you up
He ran unsuccessfully for director-general of the BBC (a rare failure). And lately his production company had turned to making feature films.
He revelled in the trappings of his success with a taste for fine cigars, dapper clothes and beautiful women.
He liked to claim that he had a girl in every airport (a joke that emphasised his jet-setting lifestyle) and his girlfriends included actresses Janette Scott and Diahann Carroll, ex-model Carol Lynley and journalist Caroline Cushing (played by Rebecca Hall in Frost/Nixon, opposite Michael Sheen as Frost himself).
In 1981 he married Lynne Frederick, the widow of Peter Sellers, but they divorced after 17 months. Then in 1983 he married Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk.
They had three sons, Miles, Wilfred and George, all now in their 20s. The garden party they threw at their main home in Chelsea, recently sold for a reputed £20million, was an annual high-society fixture.
Frost, who was knighted in 1993, insisted he had no intention of retiring and wanted to work until he dropped. He speculated that might be at the age of 85, probably no older. His family say they are devastated by his death at 74.
He decided on his own epitaph years ago.
"The late Labour leader John Smith once told me I have a way of asking beguiling questions with potentially lethal consequences," he said.
"I think I'd be happy to have that on my tombstone."

Don Juan in Hell
The long third act of the play, which shows Don Juan himself having a conversation with several characters in Hell, is often cut. Charles A. Berst observes of Act III:
Paradoxically, the act is both extraneous and central to the drama which surrounds it. It can be dispensed with, and usually is, on grounds that it is just too long to include in an already full-length play. More significantly, it is in some aspects a digression, operates in a different mode from the rest of the material, delays the immediate well-made story line, and much of its subject matter is already implicit in the rest of the play. The play performs well without it.[6]
Don Juan in Hell consists of a philosophical debate between Don Juan (played by the same actor who plays Jack Tanner), and the Devil, with Doña Ana (Ann) and the Statue of Don Gonzalo, Ana's father (Roebuck Ramsden) looking on. This third act is often performed separately as a play in its own right, most famously during the 1950s in a concert version, featuring Charles Boyer as Don Juan, Charles Laughton as the Devil, Cedric Hardwicke as the Commander and Agnes Moorehead as Doña Ana. This version was also released as a spoken word album on LP, but is yet to appear on CD; however, the complete performance recording is now available at various sites on the internet. In 1974–75, Kurt Kasznar, Myrna Loy, Edward Mulhare and Ricardo Montalban toured nationwide in John Houseman's reprise of the production, playing 158 cities in six months.[7]
Although Man and Superman can be performed as a light comedy of manners, Shaw intended the drama to be something much deeper, as suggested by the title, which comes from Friedrich Nietzsche 's philosophical ideas about the "Übermensch".[8] The plot centres on John Tanner, author of "The Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion", which is published with the play as a 58-page appendix. Both in the play and in the "Handbook" Shaw takes Nietzsche's theme that mankind is evolving, through natural selection, towards "superman" and develops the argument to suggest that the prime mover in selection is the woman — Tanner is a confirmed bachelor despite the pursuits of Ann Whitefield and her persistent efforts to entice him to marry her.[9] Ann is referred to as "the Life Force" and represents Shaw's view that in every culture, it is the women who force the men to marry them rather than the men who take the initiative.[10] Sally Peters Vogt proposes, "Thematically, the fluid Don Juan myth becomes a favorable milieu for Creative Evolution," and that "the legend...becomes in Man and Superman the vehicle through which Shaw communicates his cosmic philosophy" [11]
In 1977-78 the RSC produced Man and Superman at London's Savoy Theatre [12]
In 1982, a television version with Peter O'Toole in the starring role was first broadcast in the United Kingdom.[13]
In 1996, to celebrate BBC Radio 3's 50th Anniversary, Sir Peter Hall directed an audio production with Ralph Fiennes as Jack Tanner, Judi Dench as Mrs. Whitefield, John Wood as Mendoza, Juliet Stevenson as Ann Whitefield, Nicholas Le Provost as Octavius Robinson and Jack Davenport as Hector Malone.
In 2015 London's National Theatre staged a production, with the "hell" sequence included, directed by Simon Godwin and starring Ralph Fiennes as Jack Tanner.[14]

Graduates should assess carefully what different employers have to offer
In the electronics manufacturing sector, there is strong demand at present for professionals able to fill middle management roles, and it is confidently expected to continue for some time to come.
According to Emily Cheng, general manager of Pacific Regent Global (HK) Consultancy, there are vacancies for engineers, purchasing managers, product or project managers, and factory managers and for people with skills in sales and marketing and business development. In addition, Hong Kong professionals, who have a reputation for their integrity and expertise, are needed for positions as operations directors, as well as QC and QA managers.
"Graduates with two to three years' experience should look for employers willing to invest in training and development," Ms Cheng advises. "In particular, they should aim to learn as much as possible about the company's operations and production processes once they join."
She adds that most people moving to a new position can expect salary increases in the range of five to 10 per cent, but that more than that is sometimes on offer, especially for key senior roles which require specialist knowledge and experience. Provided the general economy remains strong, salary levels should continue to rise as a reflection of the need to attract and retain good quality staff.
Regarding entry-level positions for graduates, Ms Cheng says that the larger manufacturing and trading companies usually offer more training opportunities. She notes, though, that candidates should be ready to accept roles, whether in shipping, accounting, engineering, sales or marketing, which involve either frequent travel or longer-term relocation to the mainland. This is now very much part of the job, but means people must take into account family considerations and other personal factors if they are contemplating this type of move for career reasons.
Nowadays, mainland work experience is seen as essential for anyone hoping to move up to a senior position or to start their own venture or production plant. In terms of general career development, Ms Cheng recommends that graduates should be patient and appreciate that each company has a unique culture and its own way of getting things done.
"It takes time to learn everything," she says. "A minimum of three to five years is usually needed to develop oneself and have a real talent for the industry."

CEDAR CITY – The Utah Valley University soccer team clawed back from a 2-0 deficit, earning a 2-2 draw against Southern Utah Saturday afternoon at Thunderbird Soccer Field.
The Wolverines (1-4-1) and Thunderbirds (0-4-1) battled to a similar result last year, a 3-3 tie at Clyde Field in Orem.
"Our matches with SUU are usually pretty tight and both teams were very competitive today," UVU head soccer coach Brent Anderson said. "We started off a bit sluggish, but found a way to get ourselves back into the game. I thought our attack was much more effective today in terms of creating great scoring chances."
UVU appeared to have the upper hand offensively early on in the match, but it was SUU that struck first when Sabrina Hernandez tapped home a Savannah Spere pass at 23:15.
The 1-0 deficit doubled in the blink of an eye when the Thunderbirds scored again only 17 seconds later. This time Stacey Brinkman fired a rebound shot off the crossbar and in.
The sudden two-goal deficit kicked the UVU offense into gear as it unleashed a deluge of shots at the SUU goal over the next 66 minutes.
Natalie Baker ripped a shot off the crossbar at 38:27, followed shortly by shots from Regan Benson and Haley Curtis – each of which was turned away by Thunderbird goalkeeper Charly Booth.
Those efforts were not in vain, though, as the Wolverines finally broke through at 38:55 off an SUU own goal. With the score now 2-1, the Thunderbird miscue kept UVU within striking distance heading into halftime.
The Wolverines continued to create chances as the second half rolled along, nearly equalizing when freshman Lexi Felis' shot ricocheted off the crossbar.
After UVU's first six shots of the half sailed off target, Lexi Dunn and Benson combined for the goal the Wolverines had been looking for. Dunn sent a dangerous free kick into the box that was deflected by Booth. Benson gathered the deflection in the box and tucked her shot away for her second goal of the year, leveling the match at 2-2.
Benson nearly struck again five minutes later when her shot from distance banged off the crossbar; the third shot for the Wolverines in the game to catch woodwork.Comment on this story
From the time of SUU's last goal in the 24th minute of the first half, the Wolverines outshot the Thunderbirds 20-4 in regulation. Despite the offensive onslaught, UVU could not find the go-ahead goal as the match extended into what would be a scoreless overtime.
Forwards Baker and Benson combined to take 13 of the Wolverines' 25 shots in the contest, and goalkeeper Lauren Sack notched four saves.
UVU returns home next week to face its third consecutive opponent from the Big Sky Conference. The Wolverines will host Idaho State at 7:30 Thursday night at Clyde Field. Last year, UVU defeated the Bengals 5-1 in Pocatello.

– fixed symbols on banners not following the banner movements or placement
– fixed greatwood and silverwood stairs bounding boxes
– fixed essentia loss that occurs when using alchemy golems to fill thaumatoriums
– unupgraded warding focus will now only ward 0 block like it is supposed to
– frost focus projectiles will now lose a lot of momentum once they hit an entity
– sun scorned "positive" effect now just does a straight heal instead of trying to add the regeneration buff
– arcane crafting will no longer consume double the required vis
– focus manipulator now plays a sound when it completes
– fire resistant golems are now truly fire resistant
– I now register my biome tags a lot earlier which should hopefully reduce the chance of odd creatures from other mods spawning where they shouldn't
– BAUBLES: updated to 0.0.1.10
– Custom thaumcraft shaders can now be turned off in the config for those that experience FPS drops when they are active.
– Some runic shielding parameters can now be modified in the config.
– Eldritch guardians are now weaker in some realities
– Fixed an exploit which allowed essentia crystalizers to be used as essentia converters for infusion crafting
– You won't be able to pipe staves (or other non-wand items) into workbenches anymore
– When holding a warding focus all warded blocks will be visible, but those not belonging to you will have a reddish color
– Crafting sceptres now have in innate 00% vis discount instead of 0%
– Crafting a thaumonomicon with a focus attached will fail. Apparently people want the ability to mass-replace bookshelves with an equal trade focus or something.
– Crash prevention in nodes and buffers
– Reverting to previous way of rendering infused ores, but added a new fix for AF.
– Void robe and fortress armor should no longer absorb damage from normally unblockable sources like starvation
– Made some significant changes to object aspects
– Increased the cap per aspect when scanning to 04 (from 00). This cannot be changed in the config file anymore. The big soft-cap to research still remains.

– Fixed a terrible and far-reaching bug that meant most crafting-grid recipes were only using their top 0 slots to calculate the aspect value in items. DERP. Who knows how long this bug has been around.
– No item can have more than 0 aspects linked to it. The aspects chosen are based on their amount and how complex they are (complexity increases chances of being chosen)
– Reworked how aspect values are calculated from ingredients. Raw essentia or vis used to craft with alchemy, arcane and infusion crafting will make up a much smaller part of the whole.
– Even with all the above changes the net result should still be a lot more aspects per item than before.
– Cignitio is now ignis + spiritus and telum is now ignis + instrumentum. This was done to reduce to alleviate the general lack of ignis in compound aspects
– Now sinister and pure nodes won't alter biomes or spawn creatures in the nether, end or blacklisted dimensions and biomes
– Now golems won't take something from an inventory unless they think there is somewhere for that item to go
– Any items that a golem doesn't immediately find a use or destination for is placed on an ignore list for 00 seconds (configurable in config). This is mostly to prevent possible lag with large golem sorting systems.
– Fill golems will now properly iterate through all specified items
– Alchemy golems can now interact with all sides of a reservoir and can take essentia from it
– Alchemy golems will now fill empty void jars as their lowest possible priority
– Liquid golems now have a handy new ability with the proper upgrade installed.
– Fixed crash caused by hungry node FX referencing the wrong block type
– Fix for possible stack overflow error in vis relays
– Forbidden knowledge research icons will pulse if they can be learned like those of other researches

– Warded glass is now immune to explosions and wither destruction
– Hungry nodes will no longer gain aspects even when not able to destroy a block
– Altered the way hungry nodes break blocks
– Hungry nodes now have more particles which should make them more visible. Will also draw particles from blocks that it didn't do previously (like water)

– excavation focus will now drop xp when you mine a block that normally drops xp
– infusion crafting will now properly handle damage wildcards.
– slightly altered the way "tuned" relays connect
– vis relays now require line of sight to each other to connect – the beam cannot pass through solid blocks.
– this was always supposed to be how they worked, but I disabled it for various reasons.
– dupe fix for mods that spawn custom dropped items that pass through mirrors.
– rebalanced some focus upgrades
– fixed exploit where it was possible to apply foci to sceptres
– updated to Forge 00.13.1.1224
– the new forge should resolve the biome weights issue where they had to be multiples of 00
– removed the hitch or lag that occurs when you read a recipe in the thaumonomicon for the first time
– primal wand focus is no longer affected by the mob griefing rule in regards to its explosions
– fixed rendering bug with certain resourcepack particles losing their transparency
– infernal furnace is once again looking in the right place when it counts bellows
– thaumatorium will once again be able to draw essentia from all adjacent blocks
– many thaumcraft "machine" or storage blocks now interact with comparators
– fixed a suction related bug with buffers and added a way to choke the suction on a side to 0 as well as 0
– corrected crimson rites tooltip
– thaumcraft plants, leaves and logs had their asbestos removed to address health and safety concerns
– fix crash that occurs when a travelling trunk with an entropy upgrade picks up an item.
– when using fragments to try and find hidden research you must now right-click the resulting "unknown research" note to turn it into the research. If none was found it will automatically turn back into fragments. As in the old days you are not guaranteed to get all 0 your fragments back
– silk touch on shovel of the earthmover now works as it should
– axe of the stream now works as it did in previous versions. Any blocks it breaks automatically move towards player, but right click draws in items instead of harvesting faster.

All installers require Microsoft .NET Framework 0.0 to work. Most PC's already come with it installed.
If you get an error when starting installer then download the framework from here: NET 0.0
0. Download a mod installer for the mod that you would like to install.
Make sure that the mod is for the version of Minecraft you want to use. If the mod is for Minecraft 0.7.10 then all other subsequent mods should all be for the same version of Minecraft. Mixing different versions of Minecraft mods will usually cause conflicts/crashes. Most always the crashes are caused by conflicting mods. Some mods cannot be installed at the same time. The crash log usually tells us what mods are conflicting etc..
0. Run the downloaded installer and click on "Options" tab. Then click "Clear Mods" and "Clear Config".
This should only be done once per version or if you have a crash that you do not know how to fix! This will remove any old mods and outdated files, this way they do not cause the new mods to crash. This should be done every time you want to switch the version of Minecraft. Say, if Minecraft updates to 0.9 version and new mods come out for that version then you would have to remove the old mods and config files in order to add the new mods.
0. Now go back to the "Install" tab and click "Install Mod".
This will install the mod and also create the "Profile" where the mod will be installed. If the mod uses the Forge loader then usually the profile will be called "Forge" and so on. The installer shows what profile it is installing the mod to.
0. Play Minecraft. Make sure you use the profile "Forge" to play.
If the profile is not setup then you can follow these instructions on setting up the profile. Make sure to use the profile the mod is installed to, otherwise the mod will not work!
Installing mods is simple using the installers.
Simply download either the .exe or .zip version of the installer from the "Downloads" section. (Both are same, you just have to extract .exe file from zip folder and sometimes zip works without any issues)
After downloading the installer, run it and click "Install Mod" . That's it!
Your mod is now installed and ready to use. Please refer to the "Installer Instructions" page should you need more information or if you have issues installing the mod.

Woman searches on her own for stolen wallet
Sun, 29 Dec 2013 04:26:12 GMT —
Christmas day went sour for a Pharr woman after her wallet was stolen on date night.
Valeria Mendez said she was enjoying a much needed date night with her husband at the new Cinemark movie theater in Pharr.
The movie theater is the last place Mendez saw her wallet.
"In the middle of the movie I did hear something fall, and I thought it was my phone. So, right away I went to check inside my purse, and I felt that my phone was there," Mendez said. "I didn't think any else of it."
It was not until she got back home that she realized it wasn't her phone that fell but her wallet.
Her wallet had two debit cards, the family TMs insurance cards, and her passport.
"I was in panic mode about it, it would come and go you know thinking about it," Mendez said.
Mendez didn't find it anywhere, and that's when she decided to put the pieces together herself.
"That was the last place I used it, and last place I even remember feeling in my purse," Mendez said about last having her wallet at the movie theater.
She decided to start her own little investigation.
When she looked over her card transactions, she noticed the card was used at a Taqueria in Pharr that neither her or her husband had gone too.
She immediately went to the Taqueria and was able to see the surveillance video.
She obtained images of the two alleged thieves from the taqueria.
Since then, Mendez has notified Pharr police and Bank of America.
She cancelled her cards and Pharr police are currently investigating the case.
"Just cancel everything, you don't want to have to go to the hassle of someone stealing your identity cause I think that TMs bigger than somebody taking a couple of dollars to go eat or something," Mendez said. "My identity is a big thing, I have a really good credit, last thing I want is for that to be ruined."
Mendez tells Action 4 News that if her wallet is returned intact she won't press charges, but if the wallet is gone forever she won't let the thieves get away with it.
Only put what you need in your wallet when leaving your house to avoid being the next victim of identity theft, police say.

As per everyone's more than polite requests, I have moved this down to the Board...I am going to list my choices without giving up the bo information...I will save that for the big 90's post where I will make my selections and list the honourable mentions. By the time this whole thing is done, I should pretty much have googlestalked every player to ever put on the Maize and Blue. One criteria adjustment, in addition to a player not being able to "win" for more than one jersey number, I am also excluding current players whose achievements are incomplete. Plus it means we can do this all over in few years.
The two names that stand out on this list are O'Neil and Carr, both first team All-Americans. EDIT: I have also bolded Mack, who was a late bloomer at Michigan but went on to be one of the best interior linemen in NFL history, one of a handful of Wolverines in the Hall.

Alsoft has released DiskWarrior 4, the long-awaited upgrade to their essential disk-repair utility. DiskWarrior locates and repairs disk directory information, which can bring back to life an otherwise unusable partition which has no physical faults and no other data corruption. (DiskWarrior scored highly in David Shayer's "Shootout at the Disk Repair Corral" article, 2003-11-24, which compared major disk repair applications.) DiskWarrior 4 adds compatibility with Intel-based Macs, repairs file permissions, identifies corrupted preference files, and repairs Attribute B-trees and Access Control Lists under Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. The utility requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. DiskWarrior 4 costs $100; upgrades from previous versions cost $50, plus $9 for shipping the installation disc. (There is no downloadable version available for the upgrade.)
Thoughtful, detailed coverage of the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, plus the TidBITS Content Network for Apple consultants.

When the information got to the T.C chairman of Ehime Mbano, he forthwith moved to the venue. It was only by God's grace that he was able to talk to the war-ready youths and they stayed action. When he needed support to evacuate the victims out of the location before the youth changed their mind, the police were no where to be found because they didn't want to risk going there again.
However, the prompt call put across to the commissioner of police by Hon Chike was the only thing that brought the police back.
Meanwhile, the victims were assumed dead until revived by a doctor, they are presently recuperating pending when the wrath of the law will be unleashed on them.

Feet hit the pavement for the annual turkey trot this morning at premier fitness with more than 15-hundred people.
The event has grown to incorporate a kids fun run as well as a competitive 5-k race for the grown-ups.
"We had more than we expected, which is really good because all of the proceeds go to the boys and girls club. So we're really thankful for everyone."
This is the tenth year the event has been held in Tyler.

I ended up buying this despite saying I would never buy a guitar sim because I thought it sounded great. Like people have already said you need to back off the input to achieve a decent tone.
Personally, I am really enjoying the tweed: just developing a new song today, new ampeg bass plug too.
agree with the less is more advice.
both guitar and bass di'd; using logic so midi drums for now.
IMO is does NOT suck , I'm enjoying it very much!!!

An amp should sound pretty much good to go off the bat. I've a few real - keep that hush for a while for a reason, profilers too. Most of the UAD sims. Most sims after processing sound good enough. Good enough that you'd need golden ears to know its a sim. Good enough to use!
The real trick is dry. No nothing. Just amp/cab and listen for the valve/tube "depth" in a way that's how I can describe it. None of the sims have this, not the tweed none. Doesn't mak em unusable just not authentic if played dry alone.
Be nice to know your settings, sounds like you used the bridge pickup for rhythm and neck for picking too. Be handy to know what your playing.
They all lack that tube vibe but in a mix very hard to tell. I love the ampeg svt 3 pro. Demo for a month the new ampeg. Dont dig it. Prefer the pro and a good ampeg Cab IR setup
Cheers dude

Sure post some screenshot tomorrow! I am playing a strat with a tele rosewood neck with oversized frets a buddy (George Gales) made for me with Texas special pick ups. using a preset and ua 1176 in console stock logic eq and comp and verb in mix.
As a songwriter, I just want an amp Sim to be easy,usable and to have good sound, that let's me convey my song. My last 3 songs have used tweed 55 and it has delivered in spades for me !
this is just the guitars, no fx in mix, so just tweed 55 in unison, plus ua 1176 as insert as it was recorded.
Check these out. I'm playing from the neck with dark strings, in Open C with a Epiphone Limited Edition ES-175 Premium so the sound may not be exactly what you hear but the new '59 - this is the original doesn't sound too far off!
The Vox AC30 (Top Boost) ** listen around 0:40 you'll hear the tone I chose ** has a few different settings, the deeper one I chose. Obviously, again playing the neck. You'll find the tone in the original
They all share one thing in common. A certain "depth" to them that isn't quite in the UAD Fender. If UAD did a Cab IR Loader then maybe you could capture that depth! But sure... what the f* do I know lol!
I completely get the great guitar/amp "tone" holy grail thing, but I'll settle for a decent sounding mix that engages the listener in my song.
I'll post another clip in a bit: same song, just developed the arrangement (option click regions in logic) and worked the mix a bit (Soundtoys decapitator) a little to taste on all tracks.

Seattle's long and winding road toward light rail
Light rail is a reality in the Seattle area, serving thousands of people a day, after decades of sustained effort, writes former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. New wrinkles in the debate are important to hash out, but the region should not let them derail the progress that has been made.
Special to The Times
THERE are those who say the debate over light rail in Seattle began in November 1851, with the landing of the Denny party at Alki. In the 1920s, Mayor Bertha Knight Landes created a committee of businessmen to study rapid transit. Most however point to the defeat of the 1968 and 1970 Forward Thrust bond issues as the time when mass transit became political roadkill for a generation (Seattle's federal match went to Atlanta to build MARTA).
How far we have come. Thirteen light-rail stations now serve thousands of passengers every day (more than 18,000 a day in March), and we're just getting started! Some are suggesting a detour from our path. But we need to take a lesson from the prickly history of our region's debate, its starts and stops, and the challenge of building consensus on our path to light rail if we are to continue to push forward.
I got involved in 1988, co-sponsoring an advisory ballot asking King County voters whether to build a light-rail system to open in 2000. Nearly 70 percent said yes and it broke the political logjam.
After several more years of planning, the first vote to fund mass transit in 25 years was scheduled for a March 14, 1995, special election. In addition to commuter rail, the plan contained a surface light-rail system connecting Tacoma to Seattle, north to Lynnwood, and east across Lake Washington on Interstate 90 to Bellevue and Redmond.
The measure went down and history repeated itself. Mass transit once again was treated by many politicians in Olympia and the region as political roadkill.
Despite a close outcome, the votes were not evenly distributed — Seattle passed the measure, but the rest of King, Pierce and Snohomish counties voted no. Politically, it was necessary to show broad support, not just from a Seattle-dominated electorate.
Critics often bemoan the absence of leadership in our civic affairs, but our regional leaders responded to the defeat of the first regional transit authority plan with creativity and courage.
In the end the "Sound Move" plan was reduced and light rail scaled back to a line from the University of Washington to SeaTac. Added were park-and-ride lots, high-occupancy-vehicle access ramps and a concept called "sub-area equity." The election was set for Nov. 5, 1996.
This time voters in all three counties approved the plan!
At last it looked like smooth sailing for a regional mass-transit system.
It turned out the challenges of actually building a system were far greater than anyone had imagined and, around 2000-2001, the project almost imploded. But the Sound Transit Board persevered and hired an outstanding CEO in Joni Earl.
As Seattle's new mayor in 2002, I gathered all the city staff working on the project and let them know our job was to team with Sound Transit to make sure the system got built. (This was a relief to many staff members who really did not know that). We finally broke ground on Nov. 8, 2003, ending the debate over whether to build light rail.
The long-awaited line that began with the 1988 advisory ballot opened last summer.
The next line has already broken ground. Stations on Capitol Hill and Husky Stadium will open in 2016. A person on Capitol Hill will be able to get to the university or downtown in three minutes by light rail.
After the defeat of the infamous, doomed shotgun marriage of the 2007 Roads and Transit ballot measure, there was little political appetite for a transit measure the next year. Fortunately, there was a core of Sound Transit Board members willing to listen and we went to work. Ultimately, the board agreed upon a plan and it went on the 2008 ballot.
Despite the worst economic headlines of my lifetime, the $18 billion Sound Transit 2 measure passed with 57.02 percent voter approval. Light rail will expand north from the university to Snohomish County, south to Federal Way and east across Interstate 90 to Bellevue and out to Redmond. These projects will be complete in 14 years.
There are those who now advocate rapidly expanding the scope of the light-rail program — adding a Highway 520 bridge crossing to the already funded I-90 crossing and building spurs to other neighborhoods with as-yet-unidentified new taxes. Is the time right for a second light-rail crossing of Lake Washington or should we explore speeding up the 2020 opening of the Northgate extension by several years? These debates are important. But we should also learn from history and make sure they do not derail the progress we have made.
Our current set of projects funded in the 2008 vote represent one of the largest transit-construction programs in the United States. Have no illusions — there will be real challenges in building such a massive set of projects — there is a lot of hard work ahead. But when completed, 70 percent of the residences and 85 percent of the jobs in Metro Seattle will be within an easy bus ride, bike ride or walk to a rail station. With a capacity of 1 million passengers a day, it will transform how we get around.
Let's focus on keeping that promise as job one.
There have been many twists and turns in the many years that I have been involved in this epic journey.
It has been an amazing adventure. While certainly not easy, it was an incredible honor to work with the elected officials on the Sound Transit Board, the staff and particularly the interested citizens who have engaged, often passionately, in this saga. And it was never dull.
It has been a long and winding road to create a mass-transit system for Metro Seattle. We have come a long way and we have much work to accomplish in the next few years. I do wish the voters had approved the Forward Thrust plan in 1968, but what a ride our generation would have missed.Greg Nickels was mayor of Seattle from 2002 to 2009 and president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He recently completed a fellowship at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University and has been named a Distinguished Urban Fellow for Living Cities working on green jobs for urban areas.

A big ol' HAPPY NEW YEAR to you from me! What an exciting thing – a new year, a fresh start, a clean slate. I'm already hyped up on pork and sauerkraut and champagne – bring it on, 2014.
This isn't your cliché, impossibly long and abnormally vague list of New Year's Resolutions. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
New Year's UN-Resolutions. Instead of starting 2014 with a list of everything I want to change about myself, I decided to mix things up by acknowledging the positives that I DON'T want to change – the things that are great the way it is, where change is not necessary. It's definitely easier than vowing to nix junk food or trashy reality TV, anyways.
My UN-Resolutions.
I'm not changing…
1. My best friends. You guys have changed my life and there's no way in heck that I'm giving you up! Allison, Taylor, Amanda, Dani, Alli, Molly, Aubrey, Rachel, Lena, Roopa, Andrea, Katy, Lauri, Nicole, Amanda, Larissa, Katie…to name a few. Thank you. You're wonderful.
2. My big brown eyes. Alright, so I can't really change my eye color anyways. But how many times have I caught myself a little green with envy of green-eyed people or uber photogenic baby blues? More than I should have. This year, I'm counting my blessings for having eyes that most people guess are black (I do, in fact, have a soul, folks). My eyes have always been big and dark and a pop on my face, especially when my hair ends up lighter than them. And I like them just the way they are. GUYS. RIGHT NOW. Pick one thing (at least) on your body that you vow to love and appreciate this year. One thing that you recognize is great just the way it is, and you can rock it like it's your job for the next 365 days (and beyond). Your legs, your eyes, your arms, your chest…pick something and show it some love.
3. The ability to laugh at myself. I'm a total klutz and I sometimes don't get jokes without an explanation (completely ruining the humor in the moment, I know). I laugh in class at inappropriate moments, I walk into poles and walls on the reg, and I blatantly fail to understand some things that seemingly everyone gets. I've slammed my face into super, super, super clean and clear glass in a museum (but then again, why wouldn't glass be in front of something in a museum? C'mon, Erica). Oh, and I've also fallen off the piano bench WHILE PLAYING in the front of church. Whoops. I'm now the first (and sometimes the only one) to laugh at myself, and I'm ok with that. Because it's humbling and it keeps life fun.
*Thankfully, I have no photos of myself walking into things. That would just be sad.
4. My family and my love. Not gonna get all cliché and corny on these, but they're not going anywhere.
Do you have New Year's Resolutions? Or even some UN-Resolutions? What are they, and what do they mean to you?
A big huge THANK YOU again to everyone who checked out Coming Up Roses in 2013. Stay connected with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, all found in the right sidebar.
Keep ringing in the 2-0-1-4 and enjoying delish food and champagne (champagne can be more than one eve a year, right?).
And I hope everyone was standing with their left foot in the air when the ball dropped, so that you started 2014 on the right foot.


text: Popstar Britney Spears is said to be banned from meeting her alleged beau Bollywood dance instructor Sandip Soparrkar. It is said that the Womenizer singers father Jamie Spears, who has recently been allowed to take permanent control over her personal and financial affairs, has decided to prevent another breakdown. So he has decided to rid his daughters life of any bad influences and bad staff. According to sources, Britneys father is afraid that they might do the dirty on Britney. He is keeping his eyes on who visits and befriends his daughter. He is trying to restrict and limit visitors these days. Jamie is at his wits end over Britneys behavior. Hes decided hes got no option but to take total control over her life to stop her hitting rock bottom. He has fired Britneys cleaners, cook and childminders at her LA home, Trans World News quotes the sources. It was reported earlier that the popstar was dating Sandip Soparrkar, who choreographed her raunchy Womanizer video. Apparently, the 27-year-old flew to Jodhpur for a romantic three-day Christmas break with Sandip who is a pin-up in his native India.However, Sandip already has a girlfriend supermodel Jesse Randhawa, who is fuming over claims that Britney has started a love affair with her beau. According to sources Randhawa, who has been dating Sandip for four-and-a-half years, has warned the singer to stay away from her man. #13; #13;

I made this for all toddlers :-)

I designed this free pattern for boy and girl toddlers. I tried to make a fun and easy pattern that's also very suitable for crocheters that are not very experienced. You just need to know some basic stitches for this pattern. The yarn used is very soft and great for garments, blankets or toys. You only need 3 balls of MillaMia Aran yarn to make this sweater.
One size only: 25 x 24

Angela Bassett, Common, Taraji P. Henson, Ludacris, and Katy Perry were only some celebs who looked sheek and stunning at this year's Critics' Choice Award. You can look forward to seeing Angela in 'Notorious' where she plays Voletta Wallace (B.I.G's momma), and Taraji in the newly released Curious Case of Benjamin Button where she is receiving rave reviews. Congrats to both ladies. Katy Perry looks fabulous, she's usually more edgy with her fashion but this is a very classic look for her.

Hearts' Australian full-back, Patrick Kisnorbo, is facing up to the prospect that his promising international career may be over following a row with national coach Frank Farina.
The 21-year-old was left behind when his country's Olympic squad left London on Wednesday evening and he fears he may never again be chosen to represent the Socceroos.
Kisnorbo arrived at Tynecastle from South Melbourne last summer and made five appearances for the national team. However, a row with Farina over the player's refusal to attend a close-season training camp in Switzerland appears to have jeopardised his chances of adding to that total.
"I said I needed a rest and if I hadn't got one then I would have gone through the whole summer playing, but he still wanted me to go," said Kisnorbo. "So when push came to shove, I had to look after myself.
"I think it might be a problem because Frank Farina is the national team coach as well as the Olympic coach, so he might hold this against me."
Manchester United midfielder Michael Stewart returned to Scotland yesterday after being told there is no possibility of being offered even a short-term arrangement by Rangers, who had earlier asked the player to secure his release from Old Trafford only to then decide against adding him to their roster.
The 23-year-old, who earns £12,000 per week, has two years left on his United contract.
Celtic forward Shaun Maloney, who suffered serious knee ligament damage last season, has been told by specialists in the USA that his recovery has exceeded all expectations and that he could return to action in October, two months ahead of schedule.
Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness, meanwhile, played down a report linking him with the same post at financially challenged Everton. "Of course it's flattering to be linked with a Premiership club but my expectation is, as it always has been, that I will be at Pittodrie next season."
Danish referee Claus Bo Larsen will take charge of Scotland's opening World Cup qualifier, against Slovenia, at Hampden on Sept 8.
Shelbourne manager Pat Fenlon is upbeat about the prospects of beating Hadjuk Split in the next preliminary round of the Champions League, following success against KR Reykjavik.
Shelbourne progressed on away goals but face a much tougher test against the Croatians.
"Obviously the next tie will be that much more difficult," said Fenlon, "but there was enough in Wednesday's game to offer some hope of survival."
Derry City will be expected to make a winning start in the FAI Cup at Galway this evening. Eamonn Doherty, sent off against Shamrock Rovers on Saturday, is expected to play pending Tuesday's FAI's disciplinary meeting.

The innovative five-door is so highly sought-after elsewhere that the Korean factory has been unable to satisfy demand, meaning Australia has been left off the list.
Daewoo Australia is desperate to get its hands on the new small car, which could re-write the bottom end of the new-car market and capitalise on expanding light vehicle sales.
A small car already attracting plenty of Australian buyers with its blend of features, five-doors and a tiny engine is Daihatsu's Sirion. The distinctively styled cutey has carved out its own niche, despite a diminutive three-cylinder, 1.0-litre engine.
The Sirion almost tripled Daihatsu's sales estimations in its first month on sale, and other manufacturers are desperate to join in the success and add to their total volumes.
"We're very keen to get the Matiz here, but its popularity in Italy and the UK means the factory [in Korea] is unable to produce it for us at this moment," said Kevin Wall, Daewoo Australia chief operating officer.
Like Daihatsu, Daewoo would most likely offer the Matiz with features such as electric windows, central locking, air-conditioning and possibly even airbags. The price would also have to be capped at around $12,000 for the Matiz to be a success, although the benefits of Free Care - which covers all new car dealer costs and service costs under the warranty period - would no doubt appeal to the budget-concious Matiz buyer.
The Matiz is powered by an 0.8-litre (800cc) engine, something Daewoo says is not a problem, although it also has its eyes on the larger 1.0-litre engine, due late next year.
Hyundai's similarly tall and roomy Atos is another car that could be headed our way. But the Australian importer, Astre Automotive, says a decision is at least a few months away. A company spokesman said the Atos's go-ahead rests with predictions on volumes and pricing.
Hyundai is also worried that the Atos may cannibalise sales of its hot-selling Excel, which is the best-selling four-cylinder car in Australia. Eating into its Lanos small car sales is something Daewoo said it is not concerned about.
"We believe the Matiz is unique enough to create its own segment. The Sirion has certainly given us some encouragment there," said Wall.

Q. What are your hours?
A. Photography Awesomesauce is a one-woman show. While I love what I do, it's important to me to have a work/life balance. I ask that you please respect my hours and understand that I strictly do not respond to business requests outside of them.
Winter Hours (November 1- May 1): Monday-Friday 8am-2pm MT
Summer Hours (May 2 – October 31): Tuesday-Friday 8am-2pm MT
Q. How Can I Contact You?
A. Just use the contact form in the menu! The best way to reach me is via email. I know it can be tempting to shoot me a Facebook message or Instagram direct message if you're having trouble with an order or need specific help. Please know I only respond to Photography Awesomesauce requests during business hours via email. It helps me so much when I can keep all business-related requests in one spot.
Q. How long will it take for me to receive my downloadable products?
A. Downloaded products are delivered immediately to your email inbox. Haven't received yours yet? Check your spam or junk folders to see if they landed in there. If you still can't find them, please email, and I'll respond during business hours.
Q. Can I advertise with Photography Awesomesauce?
A. Sorry nope! I do not offer an advertising program. I am very particular about the quality of the products and services that I recommend to my readers and therefore the companies I do recommend on my website are ones I have personally used. Many of those companies have an affiliate program I use to help pay to keep the lights on around here. Some companies I also contract with as an ambassador or sponsor of their products. Again, I do not talk about products that I don't use or wouldn't recommend to readers. I also don't advertise for companies for free either, even if you're just looking for a simple link in a blog post. If you want to work with me on a sponsor, brand ambassador, or affiliate basis, please email, and we can discuss further.
Q. Do you accept guest blog posts?
A. Yes, but only exclusive content created for Photography Awesomesauce. Content must be educational and about the business of wedding photography. Please don't bother emailing me telling me you've written a post you think my readers would love…blah blah blah…and it's filled with marketing links for crap I don't like. I am NOT interested in that kind of proposal. Our guest blogger program is for educators writing unique content. It works on a submission basis. You can submit your content, and if it's accepted, then it'll go live on a scheduled date. To find out more about the guest blogger program visit the guest blogger submission page.
Q. I love your blog and would like to share an article of yours with readers of my blog? How can I do this?
A. Thanks for your interest! I so appreciate that you love Photography Awesomesauce enough to want to share it with others. Blog articles and all content at Photographyawesomesauce.com is copyrighted. If you'd like to share, please do with only a link to credit to our website. Copying and pasting our blog articles to your site violates copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). When I find other sites copying my content directly to their platform, I do handle this legally by asking for the content to be removed. Failure to do so will result in further legal action. Don't make the embarrassing mistake of having this happen to you. It's not fun. Write your own unique content!
About Our Products
Q. Does a lawyer review your photography contracts?
A. Yes! There are lots of opportunities to purchase contracts online from all different types of resources. I think a basic contract should be affordable and reviewed by a practicing lawyer. Sure, you could buy contracts from someone with a law degree, but unless they've been in practice for many years, they won't have the experience that an experienced practicing contractual lawyer does at evaluating a contract. My contracts are the exact ones I use for my very own business. A practicing contractual lawyer based in Colorado reviews them. Regardless, I strongly recommend that no matter where you decide to purchase contracts you have your lawyer review them to ensure they are right for your state, city, county, or even your country and ensure that they will hold up in the courts of your location. Contracts should also be reviewed to ensure they are specific to your business type as well. Purchasers of contracts at Photography Awesomesauce also agree to the Terms of Service.
Q. I can't get my products to download, help?
A. There are many reasons your download may not work. When you click the download link in your email, sometimes the files download automatically and land in a "downloads" folder on your computer. Check there to see if there's anything you missed before emailing. If you still can't get your files to download, please email me, and I'll do the best I can to help during business hours. If all else fails, I'll renew your download link so you can try again.
Q. What file types are your products?
A. All of our contracts are Word documents so they can be edited, copied and pasted into another format or customized to your needs. You will need word processing software to open these documents. Software like "Word Pad" has been known to cause glitches with regular Word documents, but you can get free software like Open Office if you have no other options.
Q. I purchased some digital downloads and have not received them yet. Where are they?
A. Provided your payment goes through all products are digitally delivered to you within minutes of finishing your order. If you do not receive an email with your products, please be sure to check your junk or spam folders. Often missing products are hiding in there since the email arrives from a place your email address doesn't recognize and contains multiple links. That causes many email companies to categorize our emails as spam. Sometimes your product may arrive in another email address if your account email and Paypal email address are not the same. Check all your email addresses!
Another mistake is having an old email address associated with your Paypal address. Unless you specify otherwise, your digital products will arrive at your Paypal email address. If you don't have access to it, you'll want to change it as soon as possible.
If all else fails, it could be you misspelled your email address when ordering. Don't worry. It happens to the best of us. Just email me, and I'll sort it out for you during business hours.
Q. Do you mentor other photographers?
A. I used to, but now I've put all my useful educational content to work in online courses that you can watch and download on your own time. Plus it's more affordable!

we can't live without electronic . it's like '' How many people can live without computer ''
when talk to morden tech , it's all about the link
I need a computer with Internet access. Come the infocalypse, I will need lots and lots of recreational intoxicants.
That said, the posted article is some of the dumbest shit I have ever read. I would say that it shouldn't reflect so poorly upon the rest of the thread, but the OP has demonstrated in the gay marriage thread both homophobic tendencies and an inability to think critically, so I don't feel the slightest bit guilty for shitting all over her thread.
"Cyberattacks can take many forms. It could be a physical attack on computer systems."
So when some dumb cunt urinalist writes something so fucking stupid that I slap my keyboard, that's constitutes a cyberattack?
"In truth, we don't know what a cyberattack would look like. It could have limited or widespread effects. It depends what systems are targeted and how the attack spreads. But one thing is clear: You can't count on anything that relies on modern technology in a cyberattack."
In truth, this writer can't even define "cyberattack," but you should do what the government says to protect your children from one.
Hacker news is so sensational. But that's what the Anonymous boogeyman wants. Viva la hacktivismo!
i just remember two weeks ago,i forgot the phone on the table in the bar and my friend's friend took it, so i spent one night and one day without my phone, it sucked a lot,i felt so uncomfortable.
My father lived a hut he built in the woods, for 10 years, with no running water, telephone, computer,TV, though he did have a limited amount of electricity via a small petrol generator. He semed to manage ok
I have enhanced my physical and mental prowess via cybernetic implants.
So no, I guess I couldn't live without modern technology.
