The RECEPTOR VIP Plug-In Player from Muse Research is a rack-mountable hardware unit that allows you to use pre-installed virtual instruments and effect plug-ins in a live setting. It is powered by a dual-core Intel 3 GHz processor and features a variety of virtual keyboard instruments, guitar amp emulators, and studio processors that can be used by keyboardists, guitarists, and solo instrumentalists who also sing.
The unit can process two signals differently at the same time, allowing you to connect your instrument to one input for processing and your vocals to the second input for their own effects and processing. The unit has dual combination XLR/TRS inputs on the front panel and 2 balanced 1/4" inputs on the rear. In addition, it has a 5-pin DIN MIDI input and supports USB MIDI, so you can use your controller to play a variety of keyboard and synth sounds.

The RECEPTOR VIP is software-based, so it can appeal to a very wide range of musicians, including keyboardists, guitarists (both electric and acoustic), vocalists, percussionists, and live sound mix engineers. And of course, if you happen to be a guitarist or keyboardist or percussionist who sings, you'll be even more delighted because RECEPTOR VIP does more than one thing at once... You can process your guitar while you sing, or play that killer piano while your friend plays guitar or bass... or even process two guitars separately and simultaneously! RECEPTOR VIP is one of those rare units that does many things well, yet still meets specific needs
- Keyboardists: RECEPTOR VIP can be a companion to a Roland, Yamaha, Korg, or Kurzweil workstation keyboard. RECEPTOR VIP has the ability to expand the sound palette of these keyboards, as well as integrate with most keyboards thanks to the MIDI learn function. You can even process the audio output from your keyboard through the RECEPTOR VIP while simultaneously generating sounds in the RECEPTOR VIP, making it an ideal way to expand your workstation while maintaining the feel you are used to
- Guitarists: RECEPTOR VIP guitar section starts with the included ReValver amp modeling software, but that's just the beginning. You can route your guitar through various studio effects to take your tone where you like, selecting patches with nothing but an optional footswitch plugged into the back. RECEPTOR VIP lets you create presets that can be instantly recalled, combined, and/or modified in real-time with an optional MIDI foot pedal. RECEPTOR VIP not only expands your world of tone, but can also clean up your band's live mix by eliminating mic bleed and making stage volume problems a thing of the past. Of course, you can still use your favorite stomp boxes since the VIP has two standard guitar inputs on the front panel, letting you send raw guitar signal into one channel for virtual amp processing and connecting your effect chain signal into the other, switching or combining the two as desired
- Solo Instrumentalists Who Sing: Do you play solo regularly at a local pub, club, weddings, or at a hotel or restaurant? The last thing you want to do is drag a car-full of gear with you every time you play. That's where RECEPTOR VIP really shines. All you need is your keyboard or guitar, your microphone, and your powered PA speakers and you're ready to go. That's because you can play RECEPTOR's vast array of internal sounds from your MIDI keyboard, process your vocal, and process your guitar, and mix in backing tracks from your iPod or CD player - all at the same time
- SoundFinder
RECEPTOR VIP features a user-interface called SoundFinder designed for anyone, regardless of their technical sophistication, to start taking advantage of software virtual instruments and effects with the turn of a knob and the push of a button
The SoundFinder interface organizes the hundreds of presets in the VIP into simple categories called TAGS. RECEPTOR VIP starts up in PLAY mode, which lets you choose a category (TAG) of sounds or effects you are interested with the lower knob, then select a specific sound or effect you want to play with the top knob, and pressing either knob to load. That's all there is to it
Your RECEPTOR VIP comes with pre-defined TAGS for the categories of sounds, like Acoustic Pianos, Electric Pianos, Pad Synths, etc, as well as TAGS for the type of effects you might need like Electric Guitar Effects, Acoustic Guitar Effects, or Vocal Processing Effects. This makes it incredibly easy to find a specific sound or effect quickly - just select the TAG and select the preset
Of course SoundFinder also lets you create your own custom TAGS to organize your sounds however you want. You can create a TAG for the sounds you use in a particular gig, or perhaps create TAGs that are specific to a particular recording project. What's even better is that once you have created a TAG of the sounds or effects you need, you can perform with them instantly using the exclusive LIVE MODE
- Live Mode
Virtual instruments and effects sound better and are far more versatile than hardware instruments and effects, often because the sounds are much larger and more detailed than what you find on a hardware synth. The only downside is that larger sounds take longer to load, which can cause delays when you are on stage performing. The RECEPTOR VIP solves this problem with a new, proprietary feature called Live Mode. Live Mode lets you take the contents of any TAG and pre-load the sounds or effects in that TAG using Muse's proprietary look-ahead intelligent caching technology. This lets you pre-loads your sounds (up to the limits of the available RAM) and move from sound to sound (or effect to effect) instantly with no waiting for subsequent sounds or effects to load.
Using Live Mode is incredibly simple: select a TAG, enter Live Mode and start playing! Live Mode starts at the top of your list of sounds, and as you finish with your previous sounds, they are automatically unloaded and new sounds are loaded in their place. The previous preset you played is always kept available, as are several more that are "down the list", making it an ideal feature for moving quickly from song to song or cue to cue during rehearsals.
- You can use the front panel preset knob to select a sound, just turn to the name of the preset and it loads automatically.
- You can attach a mouse and monitor to the back of your VIP and click on the large preset increment or decrement buttons on the LIVE MODE window. The big buttons make it easy to find and hit the target even on stage.
- You can send a MIDI program change from your keyboard or controller to select presets, which instantly move to the next sound in the list.
- You can connect an optional footswitch into the back of the unit and select presets by pressing the footswitch. There is even support for a TRS jack adapter to connect TWO footswitches, one for moving down the list, one for moving up
- You can connect a Wi-Fi router to the back of the VIP and use a mobile device such as a smartphone, tablet computer, or laptop to run a VNC viewer application (available as a free download for most devices). This gives you wireless control via the Live Mode performance screen, and was specifically designed for easy viewing and control from a tablet device such as an iPad.
Live Mode also features a NOTES function that lets you enter performance reminders such as lyrics, key signatures, tempos - anything you want or need to see on stage
Live Mode also lets you override volume and panning levels that were saved with the preset, making it possible fine tune your set without having to re-save your sounds. This is great for fast and easy modifications to your list of presets without ever having to leave the Live Mode performance screen

Wiz Khalifa - Gone
Artist: Wiz Khalifa
Featuring: Juicy J
Producer: Crazy Mike and Juicy J
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 14 votes )
Wiz Khalifa took to his Twitter earlier this week, to give hungry fans Gone, a new cut with fellow Taylor Gang member Juicy J that won't be featured on forthcoming effort, O.N.I.F.C. Gone features the usual Wiz and Juicy weed talk as they wax philosophical about money and fame, although the headliner does dig deeper as he touches on the upcoming birth of his child and some things he can no longer do now that he's going to be a father. Tying it all together are producers Crazy Mike and Juicy himself, who collectively craft yet another hazy and strip club ready banger of a beat. Even if Gone is a loose cut, it should only stoke excitement for the release of O.N.I.F.C., due out December 4.

Book Review: The Undead Situation – Author Eloise J. Knapp
The Undead Situation Eloise J. Knapp Permuted Press I don't know about you, but I'm really getting tired of genre novels written in the first person. Genre novels, for the most part, work best when the story unfolds via an unaffected third person narrative. The first person narrative is great for getting a sense of character across, but not so great for moving the story along. This is the case here with The Undead Situation. … Continue reading

This week, President Obama announced the temporary halt of deportations for an estimated 4.4 million undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. It was a welcome, if belated, move for a president who, as of April, had deported 2 million people. One might think Republicans would welcome a policy that keeps families together and rewards hard work. But the move was met with the obligatory threats of shutdowns and impeachment. "In the days ahead, the people's House will rise to this challenge," thundered John Boehner. But, really, all they have to do is what President Obama suggested: simply "pass a bill." If only Congress were as hardworking as the families whose lives their ugly inaction has put into limbo. Meanwhile, we lost Mike Nichols, a man who embodied the American dream: an immigrant who came here to realize his talents and left America better than he found it. Now there's a challenge to rise to.
The president has provided a temporary solution to a permanent problem. That permanent problem is our broken immigration system. It is imperative to get immigration right, if for no other reason than this: The future of the U.S. economy is at stake.
Evidently using the Bible as a weapon of mass discrimination against LGBT people is fair game but suggesting that loving your neighbors by not deporting them is out of bounds. Honest to Ethel... they make my hair hurt.<
The GOP pushes Obama's buttons. Obama -- finally! -- pushes back.
Americans have voted for two presidents in a row whose main campaign message was they were going to bring the country together, fix the divisiveness in D.C., and build consensus across the aisle. And in the aftermath of Obama and Bush, the country is coming away more polarized and governance more dysfunctional.
I'm happy that President Obama finally has moved forward with immigration reform. But the six-year-long White House Bad Messaging Plague (WHBMP) continues unabated. We're in danger of losing the public on this issue even before the first work permit is issued.
When Congress wouldn't pass a bill, the president had to act on immigration and deportation policy, to keep families intact -- a measure that affected 40 percent of the undocumented immigrants in the United States.
In a season focused on gratitude, 17-year-old Monica Chica has an attitude about choosing to be grateful that's wise far beyond her years: "The most important lesson I learned is that being happy is not about having with you what you loved in the past, but learning to love what you have in the present."
This is undoubtedly a tremendous win for the immigrant community and immigration reform advocates, and most importantly, it paves the way for a broader immigration reform when Congress decides to act. Here are five facts to keep in mind when assessing the potential impact.
When we look to see who is being hurt most by pollution, our nation's immigrants are the people we usually find on the front lines. Their communities are not only among the most exploited and abused by polluters but also among the most vulnerable to the consequences of climate disruption and extreme weather.
Now he knows how we felt. While I'm still digesting the details of President Obama's executive actions on immigration, one thing is abundantly clear: The President got sick of waiting for others to act. Now let's see what his changes can accomplish.
The President's announcement of executive action on immigration Thursday is not only necessary but also praiseworthy. We have been fighting this battle for far too long. As a Christian, I feel compelled by the Gospel of Christ to work for protection for immigrants as directly as possible.
Before you turn off your mind and go into pre-Thanksgiving mode, take our latest Week to Week news quiz and see what you know about the world. Here ...
Empathy is a tough emotion to embrace. Over time our nation and our world will need to evolve in order to come to own empathy. To rationalize inertia with ambiguous legal protocol turns our attention away from the central concern of human suffering.
All of us, documented and undocumented immigrants alike, are on a common journey in search of a better life. We came here to join a country that has always been a nation of immigrants, and a beacon to people from all nations. Why reject the people who will make America greater still?
From the opening of Anita Diamant's heartwarming novel, The Boston Girl, when Addie Bauman, an 85-year-old grandmother recounts her life story to her granddaughter, I was struck by the similarities between the Jewish cultural beliefs and mores in Boston in 1915, when Addie's story starts, and in Iran, where I grew up in the 1960s and '70s.

Book Review: The Coffee Roaster's Companion
Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - 03:01 PM - 3 months, 2 weeks ago - 1. TMC Members' Coffee Blogs - WBC 2007 World Champion James Hoffmann's jimseven
In the past I've written up lists of recommended reading, and there is always one question that comes up that, I have struggled to answer: "What book should I buy on coffee roasting?" Until today the options have been limited to Ken David's book , or the harder to find little books like Gerhard A. Jensen's "Coffee Roasting" . Neither are likely to make you an better at roasting, whether you roast at home or roast commercially. Roasting is a tricky business, and learning to roast feels more like trial and error than anything else. Many companies consider their roasting techniques and approaches proprietary, and have traditionally been unwilling to share. I'm actually a believer in proprietary information, and when I found out Scott Rao was going to write a book on coffee roasting this inspired further action for me at work. I had little doubt that this was going to be a book that was going to make coffee, across the whole industry, significantly better. I have not been disappointed. Writing about roasting chemistry is difficult, and I think Scott has done an impressive job in cutting to the chase and presenting the important stuff in a way that seems real and accessible. While we understand the Chlorogenic acids are important, the whole discussion of them in roasting or brewing often feels abstract – here they do not. What most people will want to read straight away are the practical roasting sections. Scott himself acknowledges this, but I would heed his note: "I implore the reader to study the entire book and not focus solely on the "how to" chapters. Experience with my previous books has taught me that readers who cherry-pick the parts that appeal to them end up missing some of the big picture, leading them to misapply some recommendations" I'm not going to cover the practical information in the book, other than to say that it is valuable and I definitely learned a good deal on my first couple of read throughs. Discussion of Rate of Rise (RoR), development, and things like ΔT are important, useful and ultimately very helpful. Scott has a very practical, methodical approach and I have no doubt that we'll be looking at how we can implement his advice in a variety of places at work. I'm also delighted to see a section on sample roasting – something that it is almost impossible to find any good resources on. Some people will reject what is in here, as it is contrary to their practices or beliefs. We've presented roasting as an art, as a personal expression of a roaster, so opinions that don't validate what some people do can feel like criticism. They're not – they're opportunities to get better. Scott is cautious throughout to state that he's trying to open up discussion. I think he's given coffee roasters a base language that will allow us to better express the green coffees that we love, that we want to share and showcase to their full potential. I don't think I absolutely agree with everything Scott writes, but I feel in a much better place when it comes to discussing that, arguing my point, and pushing my understanding of roasting to achieve the cup of coffee that we have in my heads. You can buy the book direct from Scott. If you have any dealings with roasting coffee then I suspect this may be the best $45 you'll spend. The Coffee Roaster's Companion – $45

Distributing/Selling The World Atlas of Coffee
Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - 11:35 AM - 3 months, 2 weeks ago - 1. TMC Members' Coffee Blogs - WBC 2007 World Champion James Hoffmann's jimseven
After the last blog post I received a lot of emails and tweets from various people asking about selling the Atlas in their cafe, in their online shop etc, from around the world. So – if you're a coffee business of any kind then hopefully this will be of interest to you… I should be clear that I'm just the author, not the publisher – so I have limited control over somethings. However, it would mean a lot to me to have cafes supporting the book and I definitely want to do whatever I can to enable this and get distributors access to good pricing, to make this worthwhile. I want this to be useful to any coffee business in every way possible. Worldwide the English language edition will be out in October. Translations won't be out until June next year, though the English version will be available via distributors. There are currently translations planned (but not confirmed) for French, Spanish, Dutch, Czech, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Hopefully more to follow! To help make all this easier I had a quick chat with the publisher and figured I would start with collecting the information of companies that would be interested. I can hopefully work with distributors and my publisher to sort out direct access to books. There will likely be a minimum order to get wholesale pricing, but I don't know what that is yet. There are a couple of boxes to check, relating to potential events. Nothing is confirmed yet, but I travel a lot and (while most authors tell you to avoid book signings) there may be a chance to do something creative if I am a town or city where people are stocking it. I am also working on an idea for a launch event that I'd like to try and coordinate nationally (and internationally if possible) that could be a more interesting way to do a book launch, and also get consumers a little more excited and curious about the possibilities of coffee. Nothing below is a commitment of any kind – just collecting contact info at this stage. Thanks again to those who've gotten in touch, the response has been lovely and I'm grateful that so many people want to support the book. Loading…

AG says Manchester man justified in shooting home invader
Ian Peters, 38, shot the unarmed 24-year-old man after he and a second unidentified man kicked in the door to Peters' 430 Lake Ave. apartment about 2:40 a.m. on Saturday, June 9. Larocque was shot in the arm and abdomen and died at the scene.
A four-page summary of an investigation into the shooting says Larocque and the other man went to the Lake Avenue apartment with the intent of harming Peters, who was at home with his fiancee and her three-year-old son.
It was reasonable for Peters to conclude that Larocque and the other man who forced their way into his apartment "were likely to use any unlawful force against Peters, his fiancee, or her child, during the commission of a burglary or some other felony. Therefore, Ian Peters' subsequent use of deadly force was legally justified," under state law, according to the investigation.
Police said the investigation into the home invasion itself is continuing in an attempt to hold the other home invader and any other participants accountable for their actions.
Around midnight, the fiancee, who authorities did not identify, received text messages from someone she knew. The messages turned confrontational and threatening. The couple was in bed when, about two hours later, they heard footsteps on the porch outside their bedroom.

NEW YORK - The Art Fair Company has announced that it has changed the name of the Metro Show to Metro Curates.

In keeping with its celebration of living with art in all its forms, Jack Lenor Larsen will present the LongHouse Award for Design Excellence for best booth design. "We are honored to have Jack Lenor Larsen select the best- designed booth among the participating dealers," Ms. Kerrigan said in announcing the award.
Metro Curates embraces a wide range of offerings that include ethnographic material, applied and decorative arts, and historic to contemporary textiles, combined with modern and contemporary fine art and design.

The Opening Night Preview is Wednesday, January 21, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. The show opens to the public on Thursday, January 22. Hours are Thursday, January 22: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM; Friday, January 23: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM; Saturday, January 24: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM; Sunday, January 25: 12 noon - 5:30 pm.

NEW YORK – On Nov, 11, the Museum of Arts and Design will host the 2014 MAD Ball, celebrating four influential creators and leaders in the art, craft and design industries, whose work personifies the museum's mission to explore and celebrate contemporary making and skilled craftsmanship across all media:
This year's Visionaries Awards will celebrate a year of exciting leadership with new Director Glenn Adamson. Reflecting MAD's mission to celebrate innovation and excellence across all creative disciplines, MAD is honoring a range of artists, designers and artisans, as well as the enterprises and patrons who support them.
"It's an honor for the museum to award such leaders and creators, who epitomize MAD's commitment to contemporary craftsmanship, innovation and creativity," said Lewis Kruger, chairman of the board of the museum. "The outstanding achievements of this year's honorees have influenced the creative world at large and will continue to reverberate in our everyday lives."
The museum commissioned artist Miriam Ellner to create the awards this year. Ellner, one of the foremost designers working in the ancient technique of Verre Eglomisé, the process of gilding precious metals on the reverse side of glass, was featured in the recent exhibition "NYC Makers: The MAD Biennial," which spotlighted the wildly diverse creative communities thriving across the five boroughs today. Ellner has created a special series of sculptures, Light Catchers, which are elegant gilded glass seed-like forms, set in a bronze structure that moves to capture the changing light where they are installed.
To highlight the museum's mission of championing contemporary creativity across all disciplines, this year's MAD Ball will inaugurate the Makers Showcase: an engaging platform where a selection of artists will present live demonstrations. Artists-Makers this year include photographer Benjamin Fredrickson; ceramicist Zack Davis, and pastry chef Olivier Dessyn of Mille-Feuille Bakery.
The MAD Ball is the museum's most important annual fundraiser, supporting MAD's exhibitions and educational programs. Every year, the gala honors leaders and innovators in the fields of art, design, philanthropy and business. Proceeds are directed to the support of MAD's arts education programs. This year, MAD expects to serve nearly 10,000 children, grades K-12, from underserved communities. Each year, more than 500 guests, including arts patrons, artists, designers and noted corporate and civic leaders, attend the event.
About the Honorees
Michael Aram
Michael Aram, artist and founder of Michael Aram Inc., will be honored for his enduring contributions to the world of home décor, as well as his legacy of over two and a half decades of fine craftsmanship, sculpture and innovation; in particular through his work inspired by traditional Indian craft. In celebration of the 25th anniversary year of Michael Aram Inc., Aram has revisited his roots artistically with his Atelier sculptures, lighting, furniture and, most recently, fine jewelry.
Richard Dupont
An innovator throughout his career, artist Richard Dupont has opened up new avenues of expression in a variety of media including sculpture, drawing, installation, painting and printmaking. His work with digital technologies and fabrication methods, was recently highlighted in MAD's exhibition "Out of Hand: Materializing the Postdigital." One of the first to incorporate the advanced technologies so widespread today in the fields of Art and Design, Dupont's work has always maintained a critical position in relation to our rapidly changing digital culture.
Barry Friedman
After almost 50 years of representing art and artists, an era has come to an end with the closing of Barry Friedman Ltd, a long-established presence in the international art world. Recognized as a visionary dealer with a collector's eye, Friedman has continually forged new paths in the decorative arts field. MAD is pleased to honor Friedman's lifetime devotion to introducing American audiences to great objects, ranging from 19th century decorative art to important contemporary fine art works.
Ligne Roset
Ligne Roset will be honored by MAD in celebration of the company's rich design heritage and dedication to craftsmanship. The museum recognizes Ligne Roset's ongoing commitment to technical innovation and its tradition of artful designer collaborations with both established and up-and-coming talents to create award-winning designs for the contemporary interior, epitomizing a bold, beautiful and design-forward lifestyle since their inception in 1860.
The MAD Ball will be held at Pier Sixty in New York City on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The festive evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, the Makers Showcase and a silent auction, followed by dinner, the awards presentation and live entertainment at 7:30 pm. Tickets to the MAD Ball 2014 may be purchased http://thestore.madmuseum.org/collections/mad-ball-2014

"We are extremely grateful to Mr. Schnitzer for his generosity in underwriting our inaugural lecture program and are privileged to feature Mel Bochner as our first guest artist," said Senecal, who is also executive director of the IFPDA Print Fair. "The lecture program is our the lead programming initiative during the fair, and aims to honor and raise public consciousness about the unique ways in which contemporary artists use print-making in their artistic practice."
Sparked by a keen interest in the inventiveness of printmaking and carrying on a family legacy of collecting art, Jordan Schnitzer began collecting prints in 1988. Today, the family's collection exceeds 8,000 works and its foundation manages an active lending program aimed at making fine art easily available to qualified institutions, especially those in less-served communities.
"Art makes us feel alive," said Schnitzer. "I love prints, and getting to know the print artists, publishers, galleries and print curators has been a highlight of my art life. I am honored to sponsor the IFPDA Print Fair artist lecture."
Schnitzer aims to create a long and lasting impact through the arts with the significant funding he has provided for the renovation and construction of two university museums that now bear his name; the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore., and the Museum of Art at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., planned for completion in 2016.
Mel Bochner, a founding figure of the conceptual art movement of the 1960s and whose critically acclaimed exhibition at The Jewish Museum recently concluded, has taken an unusual turn toward painterly expressiveness during the past two decades. The use of words as sources for painting stems from Bochner's interest in philosophy, on the one hand, and humor and popular culture on the other. Using a variety of techniques, including printmaking, Bochner riffs on words in countless permutations.
Free and open to the public with limited seating, reservations for the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation Lecture, which takes place in the historic Board of Officer's Room at the Park Avenue Armory, at 11 a.m. must be made online: www.printfair.com

PRINCETON, N.J. - A pre-auction exhibition of important china and porcelain pieces created by Trenton, New Jersey ceramics manufacturers of the 19th century is being held Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 22 and 23 in Princeton. The items are on display both days from 11 am. to 5 p.m. at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart, 1128 Great Road, Princeton, NJ 08540. A "farewell to Princeton" reception is planned from 5 to 8 p.m. on Monday evening. Refreshments will be served.
The antique ceramic wares were made by such fabled Trenton companies as Lenox, Ceramic Art Co. (CAC), and Willets Belleek. All are part of a larger selection of antique decorative art, silver, jewelry and watches from the private collections and remaining inventory of The Silver Shop. The prestigious retail establishment closed in July after 77 years of continuous operation on Princeton's Palmer Square. All goods will be auctioned on Sept. 27-28 and Oct. 11-12 at the Material Culture gallery in Philadelphia.
Among the special highlights on display are pieces with a Princeton theme, including a large, circa-1893 Princeton Tigers Football Team tankard hand-painted by W.H. Clayton for Ceramic Art company Lenox of Trenton. Other auction lots of Trenton manufacture include full sets of china, a set of plates with an orchid motif, a CAC candleholder, and a large porcelain vase on which the artist Hans Nosek painted an elegant portrait of his wife.
Also having a Princeton connection are two very rare sets of Wedgwood (England) plates painted with images of all the major buildings on the Princeton University campus. These particular sets will be sold during the October 11-12 auction sessions.
A Princeton "institution," The Silver Shop was frequented by three generations of Princetonians, virtually every New Jersey governor since 1937, and scores of celebrities – from Einstein to Springsteen.
The public is cordially invited to view the exhibition and attend the reception.
For additional information about the exhibition, reception or any item in the auction, call Nic Holland at 215-438-4700.
View the fully illustrated catalog and sign up to bid absentee or live via the Internet at www.LiveAuctioneers.com .
An expected 22,000 visitors will find over 30,000 pieces across 32 disciplines including: furniture, 20th century design, jewelry, art, Asian pieces, ceramics, sculpture, silver, mirrors, lighting, fossils, clocks, textiles and glass.
Fair Director Mary Clare Boyd says of the event, "Be prepared for a truly eclectic mix of pieces for sale, beyond what you might imagine an antique fair could sell. There are fashion drawings, 1950s Cartier earrings, Asprey Cocktail shakers, Warhol prints, Lalique glass, 18th-century oak dressers, enormous chrome binoculars and 17th-century marriage portraits. It is a wonderful source of one-off Christmas presents at different prices and the experience is one of pre-Christmas luxury and sparkle with a host of experts on hand to learn from."
The fair is organized in association with the UK's top trade associations, BADA and LAPADA. Every piece on sale is strictly checked by experts before the fair opens to ensure it is authentic so visitors can buy with confidence.
New for the 2014 edition is an enhanced events program which includes: "A Victorian Obsession Bringing the Pérez Simón collection to Leighton House Museum," a talk by Daniel Robbins, Senior Curator at Leighton House. This is a preview taster to the much anticipated exhibition at Leighton House in mid-November. There are two Asian lectures at the fair, one by the British Museum (Ming: Beyond Porcelain) and one by specialist Arthur Millner (Asiatic themes in Mamluk and Ottoman Tiles from Damascus (1400-1800). The annual BADA talk is "Over the Top? The Image of War" by Andrew Sim. For the first time at the November fair, independent art consultant Vanessa Curry will be conducting specialist daily tours.
Incorporating a Mosimanns Bistro and champagne bar and with stylish presentation, this is a glamorous annual event with a sparkling preview night.

About Rockingham Castle:
Located one mile north of Corby, Northamptonshire, England, Rockingham Castle was built on the instruction of William the Conqueror and has been home to the Saunders Watson family for 450 years. Prior to the Watsons' ownership, the castle was held by The Crown. Very few other homes in England have been continuously occupied for nearly 1,000 years and within that time been owned by just one family since being relinquished as a royal castle.
Rockingham Castle was a popular haunt of writer Charles Dickens, who was a great friend of Richard and Lavinia Watson, ancestors of the current family. The castle is arguably the inspiration for Chesney Wold in one of Dickens' greatest works, "Bleak House."
Rockingham Castle was used as the set for the BBC English Civil War epic drama "By the Sword Divided." It also featured in the Val Kilmer film "Top Secret!" A cricket pitch lies within the grounds of the castle and is home to the Old Eastonians Cricket Club.

Henry Pearman, the founder and CEO of Eagle – the world's premier Jaguar E-Type specialist – has overseen the creation of this unique collection of high-quality and original cars, known as the Stradale Collection, applying the same energy, passion and attention to detail for which Eagle is world renowned.
The star of the historic road car collection is considered to be one of the all-time "ultimate" Ferraris – a very rare 1971 Ferrari 365GTS/4 Daytona Spyder, estimated at between £1.75 and £2.25 million. One of just 122 ever produced, the car was delivered new in 1971 to US casino owner William F. Harrah and has covered just 3,955 miles from new. As a testament to its supreme original state, the car was granted Ferrari Classiche certification in 2009 and is presented in black with red leather interior.
Other iconic Italian models include one of just 349 Ferrari F50s to be built, this example with just 6,219 miles recorded and estimated at between £600,000 and £750,000, as well as its predecessor, the iconic F40, with only 10,738 miles driven and in exemplary order – also estimated at between £600,000 and £750,000. An example of the original supercar, and regarded by many as the best, is an exceptionally original but mechanically fresh 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 presented in its original striking yellow. It, too, is estimated at £600,000 and £750,000.
Some special British models also will be featured, most notably a 1931 Bentley 4½ Litre Blower. Regarded as one of the most charismatic cars of all time, this example is number 25, the final car in the first batch of just 50 produced. Estimated at between £2.2 and £2.5 million, the car enjoyed a trouble free 3,000km run in the inaugural Blower Bentley International Rally in 2010, which celebrated the car's 80th anniversary at Le Mans.
Also within the British models is probably the most famous convertible Aston Martin of all, a sister car to HRH Prince Charles's DB6 Mk 2 Volante, the model immortalized by His Royal Highness Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, at the Royal Wedding. One of only 38 ever produced, and just 17 to feature the preferred manual gearbox, this is estimated at £820,000 - £920,000. A rare blue example of a Lotus Elan Drophead Sprint carries an estimate of between £35,000 and £45,000.
Commenting on the Stradale Collection, Pearman said: "Having chosen Salon Privé to launch our Eagle E-Type Speedster to the world back in 2009, as well as to celebrate the E-Type's 50th anniversary in 2011, we knew the new joint venture between the UK's finest concours event and Silverstone Auctions was the perfect opportunity to release some of the very best road cars from the collection."
"It is truly a living collection, so is subject to change from time to time, and we've been exceptionally fortunate to have recently acquired arguably the very best Audi R8 – the ex-works and 2004 Le Mans winner, to join the growing number of competition cars within the collection."
The first car for the collection was acquired in 2000 and over the last 14 years has evolved to include some incredibly famous road and racecars, with 14 thoughtfully grouped road-going cars presented under the hammer at Syon House.
Speaking on behalf of Silverstone Auctions, Sales Manager Paul Campbell said: "I am delighted that we will be bringing one of the country's most important classic car collections to auction. The Stradale collection includes a series of iconic cars from the Daytona Spyder to the F50 and F40. Collectively, they are undoubtedly some of the most desirable cars to come to market in recent years, and The Sale at Salon Privé is the perfect venue at which to sell them."

The Revolutionary War battle re-enactment is set for Aug. 16-17 at Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park. Admission is free.
The park will celebrate the reopening of Pioneer Museum, which will offer free admission for the weekend.

Among new twists were showings of movies on a boat cruising Grand Traverse Bay and free screenings at The Buzz, a theater at InsideOut Gallery.
A festival auction is raising funds for a Hollywood-style "walk of fame" in front of the historic State Theatre. It will feature handprints from Madonna, Susan Sarandon and Kristen Bell, among other luminaries.
The event is set to run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the park near Royal in northeast Nebraska.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln paleontologist Mike Voorhies and Rob Bozell, highway archaeology program manager at the State Historical Society, will help identify items. Visitors may bring a single item or a whole collection to be identified. Past discoveries include bones from camels, mastodons and mammoths; stone points; pottery; and a petrified tree trunk.
Ashfall Fossil Beds is a national natural landmark with complete fossilized skeletons left in place for viewing. Visitors may watch paleontologists unearth rhinos and other animals entombed by ash from a supervolcano eruption 12 million years ago.

MALVERNE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a 52-year-old volunteer Long Island firefighter killed while hunting in upstate New York was fatally shot by a friend.
A department spokesman tells Newsday (http://bit.ly/1aqsIQs ) that Charles Bruce was with a group that included members of the Malverne fire department. The shooter had once worked there.
But Dave Gildea says the hunting trip wasn't a fire department outing. He declined to identify the friend.
Prosecutors say that at this time the shooting appeared to be accidental.
The men were hunting in the Otsego County town of Westford on Saturday. Bruce died at the scene.
Prosecutors say Bruce was walking through the woods and the shooter was in a tree.
Regular deer hunting season began in New York's southern zone on Saturday.

I found this book at my local library and checked it out on a whim as my metal working skills are in the beginning stages. WOW! The instructions were so clear and there were so many techniques that I felt I could start many of the projects even with my beginner-level metalworking skills. I am so excited that this book is now part of my jewelry library!

A lot of bang for your buck! The topic coverage is amazing the details and illustrations seal the deal. Everything from wire wrapped stones to PMC and Pave settings. Certainly you need a little background to use this book - it is not intended as step by step for a rank beginner it is however very well detailed step by step for anyone with even rudimentary grasp of techniques. Well worth the purchase price!

This is a book I shall need as long as I keep working with metal and stones. Above all, I'd like to draw attention to the photographs, very clear and instructional. If you handle stones and/or pearls at all, you simply need this book.

I MUST write my impressions about the Book "Gemstone Settings: The Jewelry Maker's Guide to Styles & Techniques", It's a piece of Art! Been time I hasn't read a so well designed book full of photographs and diagrams that takes away my fear to Stone Setting! Congratulations to Anastasia and the whole production team!!!! Would like to buy more books like that!

This book is both informative and inspirational. Techniques are described well in step by step instructions. It is a wonderful reference volume that includes gemstone setting instructions for various forms of metalsmithing, precious metal clay, pearls, and gemstone beads including stringing and wire wrapping. Every time I open up this book I discover something I had missed before.

Question: When can a judge ethically be an advocate for a party in his court?
Answer: Pick one -- (a) never; or (b) when the party is a violent criminal serving the sentence he earned.
Until Saturday, I didn't know anyone who would pick (b) over (a).
On that day, however, I learned that it might be OK for a judge to be an advocate for a party, at least in a case where he has "a strong vision of legal justice and then acts in service to that vision."
That's the answer I believe is suggested by Prof. Doug Berman, a distinguished lawyer and law professor who sees things from the defense perspective.
I respectfully dissent. It is precisely when the judge feels most strongly that he must be most disciplined. The credibility of the judicial branch, and indispensable public confidence in its neutrality, require nothing less. The notion that the judge can be an advocate for one side is toxic to the core idea of what it means to be a judge at all.
