Treatment of Malignant Gonadal GCTs
Treatment options under clinical evaluation for stages I through IV in patients younger than 15 years
The following is an example of a national and/or institutional clinical trial that is currently being conducted. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
- A United Kingdom CCG trial is studying reducing the total JEB cycles.
Testicular GCTs in adolescents and young adult males
Because the biology of testicular GCTs among adolescents and young adult males is different from that of testicular tumors arising in infants and young boys, the treatment guidelines described above for young boys may not be strictly applicable to adolescent males. In particular, the use of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection may play a crucial role both in early stage testicular GCT [11] and for residual disease after chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic GCT.[12,13] In this age group, the presence of a sarcomatous component in the primary testis GCT does not alter the prognosis, but if a sarcomatous component is found in a metastatic lesion, survival is likely to be compromised.[14]
(Refer to the PDQ summary on Testicular Cancer Treatment for more information.)
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with childhood malignant testicular germ cell tumor and childhood malignant ovarian germ cell tumor. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Childhood Malignant Ovarian GCT
Most ovarian neoplasms in children and adolescents are of germ cell origin.[1] Ovarian GCTs are very rare in young girls, but the incidence begins to increase in children aged approximately 8 or 9 years, and continues to rise throughout adulthood.[1] Childhood malignant ovarian GCTs can be divided into dysgerminomas (seminomatous) and nonseminomatous malignant GCTs (i.e., immature teratomas, yolk sac carcinomas, mixed GCTs, choriocarcinoma, and embryonal carcinomas). (For information on childhood mature and immature teratomas arising in the ovary, see the Nonsacrococcygeal Teratomas in Children section of this summary. Refer to the PDQ summary on Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors Treatment for more information.)
For stage I ovarian dysgerminomas and immature teratomas, cure can usually be achieved by unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, conserving the uterus and opposite ovary, and close follow-up observation.[10,15,16,17,18] Chemotherapy can be given if tumor markers do not normalize or if tumors recur.
While advanced-stage ovarian dysgerminomas similar to testicular seminomas are highly curable with surgery and radiation therapy, the effects on growth, fertility, and risk of treatment-induced second malignancy in these young patients [19,20] make chemotherapy a more attractive adjunct to surgery.[21,22] Complete tumor resection is the goal for advanced dysgerminomas; platinum-based chemotherapy can be given preoperatively to facilitate resection or postoperatively (after debulking surgery) to avoid mutilating surgical procedures.[18] This approach results in a high rate of cure and the maintenance of menstrual function and fertility in most patients with dysgerminomas.[21,23]

Truman Posted September 26, 2014 By Amber Lautigar Reichert "They'd Impeach a President" LBJ with Senator Richard Russell This clip, presented to the Nantucket Project this weekend, features LBJ and Senator Richard Russell as they consider the risks and politics of escalation in Vietnam. The full recording (27 minutes) is available here, a curated exhibit (4 minutes) is here. The Presidential Recordings Program was established by the Miller Center in 1998 to make the secret White House recordings accessible through transcripts and historical research. These recordings constitute an extremely rich historical resource, but one that cannot be unlocked without considerable time and experience in working with the tapes. Once unlocked, the tapes shed considerable light on our understanding of recent political history and on the workings of the U.S. government. Thousands of hours of this secret history remain to be transcribed, annotated, and analyzed within the constraints of limited resources. [0 Comments] Escalation in Vietnam Vietnam War Lyndon B. Johnson Tweet Posted January 23, 2013 By Carah Ong This Day in History: Nixon Announces Conclusion of Peace Agreement with Vietnam Richard Nixon Addresses the Nation on Conclusion of Peace Accords with Vietnam, January 23, 1973. Forty years ago today, President Richard Nixon announced to the nation that the United States and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam had finally concluded an agreement to end the war in Vietnam. Nixon had promised to end the Vietnam War in his campaign for the presidency in 1968. In his reelection campaign in 1972, he once again promised to end the war in Vietnam in such a way as to ensure a "a full generation of peace." In his address on January 23, 1973, Nixon told the nation: We must recognize that ending the war is only the first step toward building the peace. All parties must now see to it that this is a peace that lasts, and also a peace that heals—and a peace that not only ends the war in Southeast Asia but contributes to the prospects of peace in the whole world. The official cease-fire, along with the release of all American prisoners of war, went into effect on January 28, though troops remained in Vietnam until the fall of Saigon in 1975.

… because the puzzle seemed ever more complex and he had begun to feel that this world-puzzle that he was so desperate to understand, that he was torturing himself trying to understand was really the puzzle of himself and the world at once, that they were in effect one and the same thing …
"We can justify any apologia simply by calling life a successive rejection of personalities. No apologia is any more than a romance - half a fiction - in which all the successive identities taken on and rejected by the writer as a function of linear time are treated as separate characters. The writing itself even constitutes another rejection, another "character" added to the past. So we do sell our souls: paying them away to history in little installments. It isn't so much to pay for eyes clear enough to see past the fiction of continuity, the fiction of cause and effect, the fiction of a humanized history endowed with "reason.""
Thomas Pynchon - V., p. 335
Anything that can get drunk, he reasoned, must have some soul.
Born in Durham in '23,
By a pappy who was absentee,
Was took to a lynching at the neighborhood tree,
Whooped him a nigger when he was only three.
Roony, Roony Winsome, king of the decky-dance.
Pretty soon he started to grow,
Everyone knew he'd be a loving beau,
Cause down by the tracks he would frequently go
To change his luck at a dollar a throw.
Well he hit Winston-Salem with a rebel yell,
Found his self a pretty Southron belle
Was doing fine till her pappy raised hell
When he noticed her belly was beginning to swell.
Luckily the war up and came along,
He joined the army feeling brave and strong,
His patriotism didn't last for long,
They put him in a foxhole where he didn't belong.
He worked him a hustle with his first C.O.,
Got transferred back to a PIO,
Sat out the war in a fancy chateau,
Egging on the troops toward Tokyo.
When the war was over, his fighting done,
He hung up his khakis and his Garand gun
Came along to Noo York to have some fun,
But couldn't find a job till '51.
Started writing copy for MCA
It wasn't any fun but it was steady pay,
Sneaking out of work one lovely day
He met him a dolly called Mafi-yay.
Mafia thought he had a future ahead,
And looked like she knew how to bounce a bed
Old Roony must've been sick in the head
Cause pretty soon, they up and wed.
Now he's got a record company,
A third of the profits plus salary,
A beautiful wife who wants to be free
So she can practice her Theory.
Roony, Roony Winsome, king of the decky-dance.

Fuck your imaginary friend and fuck all christians was the best part
hey pal, he didn't even say that, and I don't appreciate your comment. Wanna be an atheist? Then be one by yourself, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
we sure do :) we don't have to go to church everyfriggin sunday, we believe whatever we want, instead of being told what we have to believe and what we have to do, without having a reason to do it. we give logical explanations to the things that happen to us, insteadof blaming it on god or satan or any other superhuman entity. we give women the respect they deserve, instead of oppressing them and blaming them for eating a friggin apple... we don't go aroud telling people that they have to believe in
Personally, I am not atheist. I am agnostic =D. And I can't tell you how sick of christian lunatics I am. Don't say the F word!!!!!! Besides, any religion that has door to door sales people is full of shit.
fuck u
fuck you if you drive a Prius.
fuck me then ! hahaha
ugh...fuck me...
well, I lasted 25 seconds watching this, which I think was a pretty good attempt. Seriously, are we now at the stage where comedy comes down to a repeated list of "f u if you don't like (insert anything)"?
Exactly, it's like people stopped trying and just recorded themselves singing stupid crap.
fuck you if you don't like to fuck
And fuck you if you don't really brush your teeth, that's nasty!
Send him to Guantanamo, he's a terrorist.

I think it's funny how all these Brits are calling America the most arrogant country in the world, when every time they get the chance, they call an American fat. if all Americans are fat, then all Limeys have discusting, yellow teeth. I'm American and I'm not fat. most of the time, Brits are so skinny because they have no muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. just saying.
Get over it and have another big mac, fatty.
well I'm fucked.
Good for you if you don't like untalented, obnoxious rap singers who are hard to look at and don't know when to stop.

My Favorite Part of Halloween
The older my boys get, the more interesting (or gross) their jack-'o-lanterns get. The mummy took a good two hours of patient drawing and scooping, my youngest decided his needed "firey" eyes, and there appears to have been a murder (too much Alfred Hitchcock lately.)
The best part has to be the seeds...
Roasted with a little olive oil and coarse salt--the best part of Halloween.

Apple Butter
Here is the perfect way to make your house smell delicious on a cold and wet fall day. We went on a field trip last week to a farm where the boys got to pick pumpkins and fill a small bag with apples. The apples were fine but looked like they had seen better days.
The boys each brought home some green ones and some red ones, and we ended up with so many, I decided to use them for apple butter. This recipe is easy, and the results are yummy:
Crockpot Apple Butter
Peel and slice apples (I used about 12-15 small to medium) into crockpot or slow-cooker
Sprinkle over top--1 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. apple pie spice
Pour 1/2 cup apple juice over top.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, then mash apples with potato masher, stir, re-cover, and cook for another hour or two.
Boil canning jars, rings, and lids, and then add apple butter mixture to hot jars, leaving about 1/2 inch at top. Put on lids and rings, and boil filled jars for 10 minutes to seal.

Curriculum Fair: Math, Take 2
|Curriculum Fair is a place for me to share the curriculum we use. If you check out my other posts in this series,
you'll see how much we modify and revamp as we go along. Our homeschooling journey is always changing!
One of the greatest things about homeschooling is having the freedom to modify and re-vamp as needed. I usually take a look at where we are in the fall and do a little tweaking wherever it may be needed.
I posted a while back about our math curriculum for this year, and we have recently incorporated another program into our math studies: Teaching Textbooks.
The main reason we decided to go with this is that the program is highly interactive and computer-based, and it is like having a math tutor in your home. As I mentioned earlier, math is not my strong point, so I felt I needed a program that could virtually "take over" for me in many ways. I am still able to assist my kids if they need it, but this program is really all-inclusive, and the boys are having fun using it.
My oldest commented that his favorite part is knowing how much time it will take him to do a lesson. Each lesson is broken down so that you watch the lecture, do some practice exercises, and then complete the problems. If you miss one, you get immediate feedback, and then you can ask for an explanation for solving the problem. The student can master each concept before moving ahead.
All the prep work is done for you, so all the student has to do is pop in the CD and start working. It even keeps a "gradebook" for you.
We are still using the other materials I wrote about before as supplements, but I felt like we needed to add more "meat" to our math curriculum, and this seems like a good fit for my older two. After taking the placement tests, we chose to start with Math 5 and Math 7, and if all goes well, we will add Math 3 for my youngest next year.
What are you using for math in your homeschool? Please share what has worked/hasn't worked for you!

End of season cupcakes
Fall baseball season just came to a close, and we made baseball cupcakes for the end-of-season trophy dinner. To decorate them, we used vanilla frosting and peel-apart cherry twizzlers to make "laces." They were a big "hit" (sorry, couldn't help it.)

DIY: Cereal Box Tents
A few bounty hunters and ewoks wanted to go camping with us last weekend, so we made them some tents to bring along with their playmobil camping gear.
Using cardboard from a cereal box, we cut three rectangles, taped them together to form a triangle, and then used the end as a template to cut out a triangle piece for the back.
Then we painted the top two outside pieces with tacky glue, and added a piece of felt, overlapping it at the front. Once the glue adhered, we trimmed off the excess felt and cut it up the center front to form flaps. We also cut out a triangle to add to the outside back.
To make the flaps stay open, we cut out tiny tabs of stick-on velcro, using the scratchy side, and adhered them to the inside corners of the flaps. The velcro will cling to the felt when you roll the flaps back.

Camping weather
It's camping weather in our neck of the woods--warm days, cool evenings, chilly mornings. We headed out to the state park, set up the tent, stocked firewood, told scary stories, toasted marshmallows, cooked hot dogs over the fire, and rented a canoe.
Everyone came home a little dirty and sleep-deprived, but all agreed that it made for a perfect weekend vacation.

Taking the day outside
Some days are just meant for spending outside, putting away the books for awhile and exploring the world. The learning that takes place is a bonus, but the point is to refresh and wonder--building a beaver dam, looking for fish, making leaf boats, observing unusual plants and bugs, and maybe even bringing home a jar of creek water to view under the microscope.

How do you remove red-eye from a spider?
|It looked right at the camera for this one, and then hid its head under its legs until we went back inside.
|We weren't able to find one like this in our field guide, but we'd love to know what it is.

Park days are for moms
Park day is as refreshing for me as it is for my kids. Sitting around with other moms-- knitting, crocheting, sharing books, talking, griping, venting, comforting, laughing. I love the time spent with these "girls" while the kids run around, fight their light saber battles, play, and make new friends. Some days are much better spent when the schoolwork is set aside for a little while and recess calls. It is important to check in with this network of support and wisdom once in a while and make it a priority on the calendar, and we will definitely be doing it again next week.

Nature Journal: Garden Spider
|Some orb weavers add a zigzag across parts of the web
to help strengthen it.
Strewn across the rosemary, a series of webs glistens in the morning sunlight. We find three woven tapestries, but where is she? We keep searching and observing the patterns in her web and notice a small downy feather sticking to it, along with bits and pieces of leaves and needles. As we scan the lengths of the webs, we spot her in the back, hidden away in the shadows.
She crawls out to the center to claim ownership of her artistry, her bold yellow body like a lantern. "Look with caution," she demands. We observe her with respect and awe for the material she has woven, and we thank her for allowing us to visit her gallery.

Magic Mushroom Prints
With a change in the weather, we are also suddenly seeing mushrooms everywhere. They are along the roadside, in fields, in the woods, and in our yard. This huge one was doomed to be run over with the lawnmower, so we pulled it up to examine it's parts and make some easy art to add to the nature journal. After carefully breaking off the stem, we placed the mushroom cap on a piece of orange paper. (We decided on a darker color of paper since the underside of the mushroom was light. Some mushrooms are darker underneath, and the print will show up better on light colored paper.) And then, we let it sit for an hour or so.
After slowly lifting the mushroom top straight up off the paper, we were left with a print!
How did that work? Mushrooms have spores, which is what they use to reproduce. The spores are inside the gills on the underside of the cap. If you let the cap sit for awhile, the spores will be left behind on the paper, leaving a print.

Opponents of same-sex marriage to fight Florida lawsuit
A number of groups opposing same-sex marriage are planning to fight a lawsuit challenging the ban on same-sex marriage in Florida.
The Christian Family Coalition and the Florida Democratic League are two groups working to fight the law.
A news conference is scheduled for Friday on the issue by the groups.
In 2008 Florida voters voted to ban gay marriage in the state of Florida. The groups want the ban to be respected.
Six gay couples challenged the law in January saying the law is unconstitutional. The same-sex couples say the law violates the guarantee of equal treatment and due process.
The office of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi hasn't responded to the lawsuit.

"The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but man is tested by the praise he receives." Proverbs 27:21
For every person who can handle success, there are a thousand who can handle failure. As bad as it hurts to be on the bottom, sometimes it hurts worse to be on top. Praise brings with it four unseen dangers: 1) It may cause us to believe we are better than we really are, 2) it may lead us to think we deserve what we have, 3) it may blind us to our own weaknesses, and 4) it may lead to a place where we no longer think we need the Lord.
Praise may cause us to end up in the crucible, a fiery furnace where our motives will be severely tested and all that is false in us will be completely exposed. At that moment it is difficult to remember that gold and silver are purified by passing through the fire. Though that image is often applied to trials, it also applies to our victories.
The spiritual truth behind this proverb is not hard to spot. Satan often attacks us at the point of our strength, not the point of our weakness. Should this surprise us? After all, why should Satan attack only in the point of your self-perceived weakness? If you know you have a weakness, that's the very area you will guard most carefully. If you know you have a problem with anger or with laziness or with lust or with gluttony, will you not be on your guard lest you fall?
But it is not so with your strengths. You take those areas for granted. You say, "That's not a problem for me. I have other problems, but that area is not really a temptation at all." Watch out! Put up the red flag! There is danger ahead. When a person takes any area of life for granted, that's the one area Satan is most likely to attack. Why? Because that's the one area where you aren't watching for his attack.
At this point we do well to remember the Jewish leaders who believed on Jesus but would not confess Him for fear of the Pharisees. "They loved praise from men more than praise from God" (John 12:43). Praise is wonderful to receive, but when we love it too much it can lead us away from God.
The praise of others should not be rejected when offered in sincerity. However, we are not to build our lives around it either. Don't believe everything people say about you--the good or the bad. You're not as good as your friends think you are and you're not as bad as your enemies say you are. As with most things in life, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
When someone compliments you on a job well done, smile, say thank you and give the glory to God. But don't let it go to your head. Learn this lesson well or you'll end up doing more "hot time" in the crucible.
Lord, give me the grace to appreciate the praise I receive and to give you glory for any good thing I accomplish, for without You I can do nothing. Amen.

TUESDAY, Sept. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Preliminary
industry-funded research suggests that a gel based on the active
ingredient of the injectable Botox wrinkle treatment could help
reduce the lines around the eyes known as crow's feet -- without
the pain of needles.
The effects of the gel, which uses botulinum toxin, last for
about four months, comparable to that produced by Botox injections,
the researchers said.
The new study is encouraging since it showed that the gel
"noticeably softened crow's feet," said study author Dr. Michael
Kane, a plastic surgeon at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital in New York City. He has served as an investigator and
consultant to Revance Therapeutics of Mountain View, Calif., the
gel maker that has been trying to develop a Botox alternative for
several years.
There are several caveats, he pointed out. It's not clear how
much the treatment would cost, whether it would work better than
injected Botox or when it might be available.
The gel is "not commercialized, it's not approved," Kane said,
noting the research is part of a phase II clinical trial. "No one
is going to be running to the doctor and getting this until phase
III studies are done and the FDA rules."
Botox -- produced, like the gel, from the botulinum toxin --
weakens or paralyzes muscles or nerves. In targeted injections,
cosmetic plastic surgeons use small doses of it to smoothe facial
Botox treatment can be painful and cost hundreds of dollars,
however, and may result in "the appearance of a 'frozen,' insincere
smile," according to the study abstract. And Botox injections can
cause bruising, said Dr. Seth Thaller, chief of the Division of
Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of
Miami Miller School of Medicine.
A pain-free, less expensive wrinkle treatment would likely boost
the field of non-invasive cosmetic surgery. Despite their
drawbacks, injections of Botox and another wrinkle relaxer,
Dysport, are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic surgery
procedures performed in the United States, according to the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
In part of the new study -- the second of three phases of
research required before a drug is approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration -- 90 patients with moderate to severe wrinkles
around the eye were randomly assigned to receive an application of
a placebo gel or the botulinum toxin gel.
"The gel is applied to the crow's feet area, and it sits there for half an hour and is then wiped off," Thaller said.
Almost 90 percent of those who got the gel showed what
researchers called a "clinically meaningful" reduction in wrinkles,
compared to 28 percent of those who got the placebo.
In a second study involving 180 adults with crow's feet, about
40 percent of those treated with the gel responded favorably, the
researchers said.
Kane said adverse effects were not related to the study
treatment, and included eye itching, flu-like illness and urinary
tract infection.
The gel is a drug rather than a skin cream, the authors noted,
so patients could only undergo in the procedure at a physician's
Thaller said it may be difficult for a gel to reach the level of
wrinkle-softening precision that injections provide. "With the
needle, you can really pinpoint the muscles you're injecting," he
Still, he said, there's a big advantage to a gel as compared to
an injection: "No needle."
The findings are scheduled to be released Saturday at the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons annual conference in Denver.
Research presented at meetings should be considered preliminary
until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Listen below to a new single from The Gaslight Anthem, "45″, which will appear on their upcoming album "Handwritten".
The Gaslight Anthem returns with their first new material since 2010′s "American Slang". The band, most popular for their hit single "'59 Sound", will be releasing their fourth full-length album, "Handwritten", via Mercury Records.
"45″ is filled with a fusion of punk, blues rock, and folk, in a typical Gaslight Anthem fashion. Lead vocalist/guitarist Brian Fallon's gritty vocals as raw as ever, as this track seems to be the Jersey rocker's most hardcore-driven effort to date, while still maintaining their signature blue-collar rock sound, reminiscent of a more aggressive Bruce Springsteen.

The Day(s) I Tested a Race Car Thanks to iRacing
by Thiago Izequiel on July 11th, 2014
Versão em português abaixo, após o vídeo This is the history of a very special moment of my life. It happened in 2011, on the 26th and 27th of July. It's very hard for an aspiring racing driver to have the opportunity to test a race car without having to pay for it. This happened to me, but I had to create my own luck. And it worked. A little about me: In 2010 I bought a second hand Momo Logitech steering wheel, because until then, I had very little experience with "simulators" and I couldn't go sim racing in a appropriate way, because I didn't have a wheel. In November of that year I got to know iRacing. When I became a member of this community, my life changed [...]

aliases not showing up
I tried this, but even though i created the ~/Library/init/tcsh/ directory and put an aliases.mine file in it as described, I do not get the alias. Anyone have any idea why it's not running the aliases.mine file? Note that I recently did a clean install from scratch and updated my way up to 10.1.1. Most recently I installed the Dec 2001 developers tools (did not previously have the developer tools installed.)
Never mind
Now it is working. Weird.

A few weeks ago I blogged about making easy, scrappy mug rugs. They come together so quickly that I wanted to make them in multiple color combinations. I have used leftover scraps from two different quilts so far, and I imagine there are many more to come. Sometimes, though, the quilts are not a gift for myself so the mug rugs do not necessarily match my décor. I could put those extras in my Etsy store -OR- I could have a giveaway. I thought our Crafty Friends might prefer the latter. That said, it's giveaway time! (the crowd roars)

16 channel recording and playback.
Tittle says it all. How nice would it be to have a virtual sound check. If I play back all the tracks I could set main mix, monitor mix, eqs, etc. loved this with my presonus because I was able to set my band up and record some, then go out into the crowd hit playback and see what needs to be adjusted. It works much better than asking someone how it sounds. This is huge with presonus mixers.
DL32R adds multichannel recording and playback
45 comments
Adminbeno (Admin, Mackie) commented
@Reshef I answered this in October 2012, only one month after the product shipped. I'm sorry you didn't see that but if you scroll back, it is there.
No the hardware cannot support more than 2 channels of recording and playback to the iPad.
Reshef commented
Dear Ben,
The DL32R seems like an awesome mixer, but... it's a whole different hardware.
The title of this discussion is "How can we improve DL1608".
So I humbly ask again - Can you improve the DL1608 so it will support 16 channel recording and playback?
Can we, your loyal customers, once and for all get a straight honest answer?
How hard is it to just answer either:
- Yes, the hardware support it, the software... not yet.."
- No, we planned the hardware to support only 2 channels. don't wast your time"
Adminbeno (Admin, Mackie) commented
The DL32R supports 24x24 direct to a connected USB2 hard drive. There is no computer needed. The recording time is simply limited by the size of the hard drive you connect.
Question for the admin: I see sound check recording and playback, but I'd like a little more detail. Is it possible to record all 32 tracks? What does "direct to disk" mean, exactly. What is the medium for the disk? And what is the overall recording capacity in terms of hours? Thank you.
Spark-Studio commented
Yet, does anyone have a definite answer to the question whether it's the hardware that can't multitrack record or just the MasterFader software?
There are several DAW Apps that support multitrack recording.
I figured I can control the DL1608 with a wireless iPad while a second, wired iPad, uses the DL1608 as an audio interface. the big question is - can the DL1608 deliver individual tracks via the USB interface?
I've already checked Cubasis with no success and now considering a test on Presonus' Capture for iPad.
Any comments? :-)
Hopefully the new 32 channel one (being announced 10/15) will have multi-track recording (or streaming to computer) ability!!! If not, I am going to cry, punch someone, and/or slam my head against a brick wall until they fix this....
Juan C Pacheco commented
just buy a DL1608 and are very satisfied with its sound and ease of use, as has been discussed that could be great multitrack recording, hopefully Mackie surprised us with this console.
slapper commented
Even just the 16 channels post a-d sent to the LAN would be useful.
That opens the door for 16 channel recording + network based monitoring duities.
Wish we had some news on this....kinda bummed that this hasn't happened yet. I'm going to have to get an Allen & Heath soon but a big part of me wishes that Mackie would just come out with their own digital mixer with a few more outputs and multi-track recording. They have done such a great job making the iPad app super easy to use while still being powerful, and it's really cool how responsive they've been to user requests with the app updates...I realize multitrack recording may not be possible with the current hardware, but dang I wish they would just come out with the "big brother" to the DL1608 sometime soon...like now...maybe we'll hear something at Summer NAMM?? Hoping...
Ok I like the idea. If it can be done with this hardware. Other wise a 3 rd party second unit might be best .
I just want to see the waveform being recorded with the ability to playback from the Master Fader app. Is that too much to ask?
Well if it is true that it can't be done with this hardware, then here's a +1 vote for Mackie to come out with a 24-channel that does record (or at least usb stream) all 24 channels! (Or at least an updated DL1608 with 16-channel usb streaming to laptop.) Lower roundtrip latency in the mixer itself would be awesome too...
Braden Pletzer commented
16 channel recording to even USB shouldn't be asking too much. Then we could record straight to our laptops/mac books. Of course the current hardware may not support this addition. We all may have to wait for the next hardware update. Can you say 2014? Hopefully!!!
Larz Hanson commented
Mackie tech may need to back me up here, but as I've read, the Ethernet connection carries only control signals...no audio...and can't be adapted to do so. Really, the DL was designed to do bare-bones live mixing in an extremely slick, modern way. It fills a niche for users who want a compact, highly capable mixer to run basic sound and offer simplified wireless capability. It was never intended to be a do-all digital mixer.
On the other hand, Mackie has used the DL project to develop a very user-friendly interface for the iPad, better than pretty much any other manufacturer's, and maybe they have new tricks up their sleeves that we haven't seen yet. Perhaps a new 24-channel DL console that takes their success with Master Fader and blends it with newer iOS capabilities? We'll see...
Brian commented
What about adding an external box, as a networked device, that contained a hard drive and processing to achieve 16 channel recording? This way, an additional recording app could be developed and controlled from the IPad. The DL would simply act as a interface for connections.
Then you could just run the 2 apps simultaneously while running sound and recording, switching views when required. Seems like a simple and cheap solution even a third party could do... Hmmm...
Mitch Nicholson commented
Mackie created one hell of a live mixer, the best I've used yet. Throwing dreams of adding a 16 track recording interface into the mix is just useless..I'm actually surprised that they even allowed the stereo recording of the mains!
Keep your sl16.0.2 comments to yourself until presonus makes an app as half as good as master fader.
Larz Hanson commented
Ain't gonna happen with the DL1608 or DL806, y'all, so you might as well take your votes back off this subject. Unless Mackie comes out with a new hardware chassis, the current models were designed when iOS4 was the standard, and that system only allowed 2x2 audio streams in and out of the iPad. Behringer benefited from ripping off Mackie's design after iOS5 came along, but hey...it's Behringer. Could be gold, or it could be a turd...gotta lay down your money first to find out. Sounds a little too much like ObamaCare, so I'll stick with Mackie. As for PreSonus, I own an SL1642, and they're about to release the updated "AI" versions. The PreSonus boards are actually really nice, but their iPad app isn't nearly as smooth or fun to use as my DL1608. For now, if I just want to do quick, easy, fun mixing, I take the Mackie. If I want to record multitrack performances, I take the PreSonus (and my Mac Mini).
I agree it isn't really needed for virtual soundcheck (unless you are mixing yourself and don't have a looper), HOWEVER obviously we all want the ability to capture our live shows in multi-track format rather than being stuck with a 2-track mix. PreSonus and Behringer already offer this, but I like the Mackie so much...really hope they add this extremely important feature soon!
(Or better yet, come out with a new, lower-latency 24-channel mixer with remote controlled digital input trim, subgroups, another stereo pair of auxes, parametric eq on all outputs, high quality lexicon reverb, and 24-channel recording via a thunderbolt port...I'd pay $3,000 or $4,000 if I had to...)
Edwin commented
Apart from Anonymous' comment on blending house and stage volume, which is completely correct: wasn't the idea of a wireless mixer not exactly this: being able to mix live sound from anywhere in the venue, walking around whilst ringing out your monitors, etc? We do a live soundcheck, with one iPad2 for FOH and 2 iPads2 and an iPhone for inearmonitors on stage. Takes us about 20 minutes from a basic setup to get a well tuned sound for every place we play. You're asking for a solution for a problem that needs not to be solved. So stop dreaming, cos Ben says no.

10 Game-Changing Cleaning Products
From major technological advances like the first dishwasher to simple innovations like microfiber cloths, these big innovations changed the way we clean our homes — for the better.
By Nicole Price Fasig
Single-Dose Detergents
Easy and effective single-dose tablets have been the holy grail of laundry and dish cleaners for as long as companies have been making cleaning products, but no one managed to get it right until the modern era of dishwashing detergent tablets. These quick-dissolving film packets release cleaner quickly on contact with water, but still manage to stay stable to the touch outside the machine. Now single-dose dishwashing tablets are the norm and laundry detergent pacs are gaining steam as well.

New ambient drone piece. Improvised; one track, one take. Fortunately, my speakers did not blow out handling all the loops and delays.
New ambient drone piece. Improvised; one track, one take. Fortunately, my speakers did not blow out handling all the loops and delays.
The cover art for my upcoming album consisting of some new songs as well as ones dating back to around '00-'02 (when I first began recording digitally onto computer) and several in between. This has been a long time in the making…I'm currently putting the tracks in order and finishing the mastering on them to even out all the levels. The plan is to release it as a "name your price" digital release on Bandcamp (I don't expect to make any profit off of this, but people taking the time to listen to my work is payment enough for me) as well as have a limited run of CD copies to give out as gifts and sell at whenever my next live set will be. I hope to have this finished by the end of the year.
I found myself in an absurdly long-winded, pedantic debate via exchange of emails over the course of a week or so with a favorite English professor (and personal friend & mentor of sorts) of mine over the use of 'alright' vs. 'all right.' I wrote a letter to him in which I used my preferred 'alright' variation, resulting in the response:
"It's spelled "all right." Ever the English teacher, I correct away. Which is what you're looking for."
To which I responded:
"Thanks, I just think 'alright' is more visually appealing and I prefer it to 'all right.' I hope that won't be a problem."
His retort:
"OK. Yeah. In the same way sentapeed is. Keep arguing with me and we'll get along great."
The thesis of my defense:
Actually, it's nothing like that, as this entry from Merriam-Webster explains: "The one-word spelling alright appeared some 75 years after all right itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted alright is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users. It is less frequent than all right but remains in common use especially in journalistic and business publications. It is quite common in fictional dialogue, and is used occasionally in other writing." (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alright)
Which prompted this long response, some of which I omitted:
"Good for you, Dylan. Well played, well defended, especially since you like the way the word looks on the page. As with all things in your work, you are the final arbiter of its fashion, its style. Don't let any conventional critics like me sway you, awright? Or as one of my football players last year liked to say, "Aight?" I think that's how it's spelled.
As with many aspects of language, it's often which dictionary or scholar you consult that helps determine your own particular bias. My position is that if a word calls too much attention to itself, it distracts the reader from what you're trying to say. And if you read the word (or phrase) aloud, it sounds the same with either spelling. This note below makes more sense to me, especially the underlined part:
USAGE NOTE: Despite the appearance of the form alright in works of such well-known writers as Langston Hughes and James Joyce, the single word spelling has never been accepted as standard. This is peculiar, since similar fusions such as already and altogether have never raised any objections. The difference may lie in the fact that already and altogether became single words back in the Middle Ages, whereas alright has only been around for a little more than a century and was called out by language critics as a misspelling. Consequently, one who uses alright, especially in formal writing, runs the risk that readers may view it as an error or as the willful breaking of convention.
The point being here, as I said above, that readers are thinking about something other than your subject matter, scene, description, whatever, and are wondering if you've made a mistake. To move them to that (their own) notion, that you might be in error, means you are in error because they are moved away from your notion. Thanks. You're helping me with revisions to my book."
And my final summation of my stance on the matter:
"I see where you're coming from. I think that especially in creative writing, it's more important to do your own thing even if (especially if, actually) it defies convention. Knowing rules and thinking of unique and imaginative ways to break them is appealing to me, and I know you for a fact you feel the same. However, when it comes to article or essay writing, yes, I agree that conventions ought to be stuck to because they exist for the reason you stated. For instance, in papers I write for school, I've adjusted my habit of using the U.K. versions of words (e.g., 'anthropomorphise,' 'recognise') in favor of the standard American English 'zed' spellings, at first out of frustration of having instructors mark every instance of it in red pen, and later because I realised that conformity in language does serve the purpose of maintaining a common ground between you and the reader so they can concentrate on what you're trying to say without getting too caught up in how you're saying it. However, on a creative level, how things are said are, to me, just as important as what's being said, as it introduces texture and personal style, which is why in my poetry and fiction / creative non-fiction (and emails, as you're now aware of), I tend to stick to my own linguistic preferences. It all boils down to the level of formality in what I'm writing."
So, in the future, if I use "alright" and anybody corrects me, I'm just going to link them to this blog. Even if it somehow comes up in a verbal conversation, I will write this address out for them and not even bother with defending myself, because if I go the rest of my life never having this same discussion again, I'll be happy. Alright?
"Into Vapour" (2011)
An ambient/drone piece I created on synthesizer & effect pedals (using an iPod Touch microphone of all things to record) a few weeks ago and stayed up late last night post-processing on my computer with various VST plug-ins. This will probably appear on a new, as-yet-untitled album I've been working on this summer.
"Mid-Day Reverie"
I recently did a Google search of my screen name just to see what would show up. One of the results was a Tumblr entry containing this photo I'd taken in Kula on the mountains of Maui back in the summer of '07 and had uploaded to my Flickr account. What was shocking to me was the amount of attention it received…my blog entries tend to get a handful of 'likes' or reblogs, but 970 people had liked & reblogged this one (and now it's over 1100 people - that's nearly two hundred more in the course of just a few days). It's been reblogged & re-reblogged so many times I lost count looking at the various Tumblr blogs with this photo in them (many of them are ones entirely dedicated to reblogging other peoples' things). I'm very perplexed as to why this photograph in particular is so popular…none of my others have gotten this kind of attention, not even on my own Tumblr or Flickr accounts, and, in my opinion, this is not particularly one of my best shots. Still, I'm happy so many people seem to like it so much.
A classic geography lesson provided by Street Fighter II; likely where most American kids in the '90s learned where other countries were.
As with most middle class kids growing up in America in the '90s, I was raised on videogames. Atari, Coleco, Nintendo, Sega, Sony PlayStation…these were staples of my childhood as important as many albums, movies and books were. Fighting games were never my favorite genre, but I did (and continue to) enjoy a good brawl from time-to-time as an outlet and break from homework, reading, or even from other videogames (more intensive, involved RPGs and the like). Street Fighter and Tekken remain two of my favorite games in the genre…I have the latest iterations of each and occasionally visit their predecessors when I crave the nostalgia. Something I've observed even as a child from these two games in particular that's never been directly pointed out (as far as I know) is how blatantly they illustrate the way the Japanese think of the rest of the world (in a very hammy, exaggerated way, of course). Nowhere else in Japanese popular culture is their perception of other countries and their peoples as evident as in videogames, and specifically fighting games. Both Street Fighter (SF) and Tekken are developed in Japan and contain characters of an array of nationalities and ethnicities. More than that, they share in common the ways they depict specific cultural backgrounds. In each game, there are Japanese characters who are the typical silent, stoic warriors, noble and strong-willed (Ryu in SF and Jin Kazama in Tekken being the two prime examples, and each being their respective game's lead character). The Americans, on the other hand, are depicted as cocky and flashy, very self-assured and boisterous in their display of it (Ken and Guile from SF, Paul Pheonix from Tekken); the Chinese are all either Bruce Lee lookalikes, chefs, or detectives (Fei Long from SF and Marshall Law from Tekken both sharing many traits of Bruce Lee including his signature fighting style and battle cries). Koreans are hot-tempered and similarly arrogant & flamboyant as Americans…Russians are very large, hairy bear-guy commies…Indians are stick thin from fasting, pseudo-spiritual and habitually in a meditation pose…South Americans are either dread-locked Rastafarians or green jungle monsters… the list goes on and on.
This always struck me as, while not exactly racist, a blatant perpetuation of stereotypes hammed up and taken to a cartoonish extreme. It reveals an inherent Japan-centric view of the rest of the world (quite literally - notice how Japan is the center of the world on their map in the above image) – their society is one of quiet, honorable stoicism, and by comparison, many other cultures are obnoxious, narcissistic, overly emotive & conspicuous, or just plain zany from their perspective. This is a topic worthy of a master's thesis, and while I have no intention of reading that deeply into it (I've already spent a lot longer on this blog entry than I intended to), there is a pile of subtext in what appears on the surface to be mere button mashing time wasters enjoyed primarily by testosterone-driven males aged between ten and thirty. What little back story there is in both Street Fighter and Tekken has always been very vague and continually amended to suit new sequels, but all the background one really needs for these characters can be provided by observing their mannerisms and presentation in the context of who develops these games and for what market.
I record several gigabytes of music each year, but I've only recently begun to properly label and organize the files (apart from specific projects I deem "finished"). I've been going through some older recordings and I found this looped electric guitar improvisation I made back on March 04, 2010 and haven't heard since. I like the basic idea I captured here and plan on expanding it into a larger piece sometime. I just added a fade-in & some reverb and uploaded it to my SoundCloud page.
Acer Aspire One model 751h with 11.6" widescreen (1366x768 resolution), Intel Atom 1.33GHz processor, 1GB memory (expandable), and 160GB hard drive.
A friend of mine owned this netbook and through careless downloading had infected it with so many viruses that it was rendered unusable. I tried reinstalling the stock Windows XP operating system from the restore partition; this failed because because the partition itself was infected. As luck would have it, she wound up buying a new computer and giving this to me, and it became a project of mine for the spring of 2011. I initially installed Ubuntu (a Linux distro) on it and spent some time learning it, then experimented with Windows 7 starter edition and a Chromium build (basically a clone of the Google Chrome OS which a lot of netbooks are starting to come pre-booted with), but I wasn't really satisfied with anything until, at the suggestion of a friend, I tried Jolicloud, an open source, cloud-based Linux distro built around Chromium. I am truly amazed at how robust and full featured it is because it's so streamlined and lightweight. This netbook hasn't run this quickly or smoothly since I initially helped set it up back in September '09 when it was purchased.
I would describe Jolicloud as a sort of combination of Linux and the Mac iOS used on iPhones and iPod Touch devices. Unlike Ubuntu, you needn't spend time hunting down packages or writing code. Jolicloud uses an App Store approach to installing programs…you simply search for compatible programs (of which there are many, and more are continually added), click "add," and they appear on your desktop, ready to use. Likewise, external hard drives and other peripherals are readily accessible as soon as you plug them in. In addition, you can sync your desktop to your online Jolicloud account and access it from any computer, and you can use the built-in Dropbox and Google Docs apps to upload files you can access from anywhere. Another big advantage it has over the Chrome OS (and what developers of the upcoming "Chromebooks" should seriously take notice of) is having a full-fledged file management system with access to customizable file directories.
Jolicloud has breathed new life into this netbook, which is now one of the best hand-me-downs I've ever received. It's a joy to use with a wealth of customizable features and expansions beneath a deceptively simple interface. It's the most streamlined and user friendly Linux-based OS I've ever worked with, and it's ideal for netbooks (much more so than Windows) as they have limited processing power and this requires very little to run. I could've dual-booted it with any other of the operating systems I've tried, but I liked it so much that I just wiped the netbook's drive clean and used it as my sole operating system. I highly recommend it to users of netbooks, tablets (it has touch screen capabilities), and even Windows-based laptops and desktops, as it takes up very little hard drive space and is easy to dual-boot. There are some bugs and issues I have with hardware compatibility, but according to the developers I've talked with (who are helpful and quick to respond), those will be fixed in future updates, which I am very excited about. Best of all, like all Linux distros, it's completely free. I give Jolicloud a full five star rating.
More of my photos passed through the Tiny Planet filter (this app is too much fun). No originals this time, as Tumblr has a ten photo limit on these posts. However, if you're interested in what these looked like before the processing, they're all viewable in my Flickr and Picasa albums, the links to which are to the right.
Running some of my photos through a filter in this app called "Tiny Planets" which creates a neat effect reminiscent of the Photoshop "liquify" effect.
Created on my iPod Touch using a fractal design app and Photoshop Express.
Like you (but without the lies!), I'm going to use this question as an opportunity to take an inventory on what I generally carry on my person on a day-to-day basis and let you decide what the strangest thing is.
I used to have an absurdly utilitarian approach to what I'd take out into the world with me, carrying everything including the kitchen sink in my pockets or backpack on the off-chance that stuff would come in handy (you never know what situation may arise that calls for a glue stick, a pair of scissors, a tape measure, and some instrument cable!), but I cut back on a lot of that out of simplicity's sake and now just carry around the essentials + a few other bonus items. I also used to wear a wristwatch everywhere I went (a basic analog Timex white-face w/ black leather strap), but have gone watch-less for the last year or two. I like to say I have philosophical reasons for this, that I did it to break free of the constraints of time and to acknowledge that time is a human construct which doesn't actually exist and only serves to place limitations on us, but really, it was because when I started swimming a lot the embarrassing tan line I had where I wore my watch disappeared and I got used to not wearing it everywhere. Apart from that, I wear practically no accessories, mostly because I don't like having to account for them & because they weigh me down, but also as a conscious effort to not look like a douche bag. My fashion is essentially no fashion. I'm fond of t-shirts and jackets, long-sleeved shirts, basic button-up collared shirts, jeans, sneakers and boots, I don't like logos in general as a rule, and I like dark solid colors (especially brown, navy, and black) and tasteful stripes and plaid, but apart from that basic taste [and from being generally well-groomed], I don't spend much of my time on my appearance. It just detracts time I could be spending on other, more important things.
Anyway, here's a rundown of what I carry with me on a typical day:
· Pair of Levi's sunglasses purchased with a Ross gift card (if I'm wearing my contacts; if not, I'm wearing my plain black-framed prescription eyeglasses).
· Brown leather Fossil wallet (I never know what to get with Macy's gift cards, so I usually just buy socks & underwear or basic necessities like this).
· Key chain holding keys, guitar pick holder, pill holder, and blue LED light.
· Super basic cellular telephone which just makes and receives calls.
· iPod Touch: the thing I own which single-handedly does the most. I have a netbook which I used to bring around with me, but this has all but replaced it (unless I need portable word processing). It serves as an organizer, a reference tool, a camera & recorder, a musical instrument, and an arts & entertainment device, and with a wi-fi connection, it's my lifeline to the outside world. I also bring my JVC marshmallow earbuds to use with it.
· Swiss Army backpack which carries the following (and sometimes other things as well): pens (medium & fine point black + purple or green for corrections) and pencils (one mechanical, one lead), an eraser, hand sanitizer, pocket tissues, toothpicks, gum, sunscreen, basic lock and key, Swiss Army knife (no, I've never served in the Swiss military force), lighter, granola & energy bars for food supplementation, a bag of Genmaicha, a small notepad, a USB drive and SD card, a folder with school papers and documents, my school texts and generally at least one book I'm reading (right now it's Ulysses by James Joyce), my lined Moleskine notebook, my iPod's wall charger if I'm going to be out for long periods of time, and a bottle of water (this is essential, as I need to keep hydrated regularly and throughout the day) which fits into my bag's side holder.
I think that's all quite modest, especially compared to what I used to lug around.
I took this photograph at Crane Park in the Kaimuki-Kapahulu district where I grew up. The conditions here have greatly worsened since I was a child (thanks largely to errors of the previous administration) - the facilities are unkempt and in decay and the amount of people setting up residence here has increased tenfold. Poverty and homelessness are still largely ignored problems in this neighborhood, health care remains unattainable for many who are in dire need of it, and drug abuse has grown increasingly rampant (methamphetamine in particular is an epidemic in Honolulu and has become much more widely used in the last decade by people of all demographics and walks of life). From an outsider's perspective, this is the Honolulu that is overlookable - Waikiki is a mere five minutes away by car, and outer Kaimuki is just a connecting point between town and the beach. However, this is the reality I grew up in and which hundreds of people pass through everyday. Scenes like this are commonplace, but sadly, it's easier to just block it out and pretend it's not there. I doubt many visitors even process things like this.
You will never see an image like this in a brochure for Hawaii; it's much better for our tourism industry and economy if we push these people as far from the public eye as possible. Our local government would rather spend money on ridiculous things such as new "graffiti-proof trash cans" and bus stop pillars which are impossible for the homeless to sleep on than aiding its impoverished citizens because those renovations are perceived as improvements in a community which is so heavily dependent on its ability to draw in tourists. How do you think this person feels about what the large majority deems important in our society? More importantly, is anyone even asking him?
