Digitech iPB-10 guitar effects pedalboard for iPad
Posted in Personal Tech, 29th March 2012 06:00 GMT
Review When the Digitech iPB-10 arrived, I duly dispatched an e-mail to a muso mate with a link to this ultimate iPad guitar pedalboard. The wag replied: Nice machine you're reviewing, but I don't know whether 87 pedals, 54 amps and 26 cabinets is quite enough for me...
Heavy metal: Digitech's iPB-10 features a cast alloy build to withstand serious stomping
Now those dizzying figures would have most people assuming that there's a load of preset dross in there, but what makes up those numbers is an extensive roster of acoustically modelled gear from both past and present. You use these building blocks of axeman ecstasy to create custom programs and there's 100 truly impressive factory tones to get things going. Furthermore, the My Tones library can store an unlimited number of user programs that you can pick and choose from.
Stomp through the banks and you come across names like Rhapsody and Gilmour hinting at songs and artists that, from the first note, leave you in no doubt that this is a serious piece of kit. A solid lump of ten hardware stomp switches along with a wah/volume pedal, the Digitech iPB-10 is in a different league to the basic app and cable combo for jamming on your iPhone such as IK's AmpliTube/iRig or Griffin's iShred/GuitarConnect. At the heart of it all are two dedicated effects DSPs with the iPad on GUI duties – its screen displaying the configurations of up to 10 pedals along with an amp and speaker cabinet available for just one program.
Twenty banks with five programs per view delivers a hot 100 setups you can can stomp through
First things first though. You do need an iPad – any iPad. And you need to download and instal Digitech's free iPB-Nexus app.
The iPB-10 has a short integral iPad dock cable – which is the only fondleslab connection you need to make. There are two plastic inserts to suit the different iPad casing styles. You undo two screws to swap them over and the extra thickness of the new iPad shouldn't be an issue here. A hinged frame snaps shut around the tablet to keep it in place.
Plug in and power on and you can begin with the fancy footwork. This does take a bit of familiarising though. The bottom row of five numbered footswitches each relates to a program shown at the bottom of the iPad screen. Hit one of these and you switch from some sizzling solo stack with fuzz and flangers ablaze, to some mellow clean combo with just a smattering of chorus and cascading delays. Audibly, it's instantaneous although the display takes a blink to refresh between programs.
Compatible with any iPad and even works without one if you can remember the program numbers
In short, the numbered pedals change the entire program and to get beyond the five that are showing, you hit the Up and Down switches next to the expression (wah/volume) pedal to move through the banks. The row of five lettered switches above change the individual pedals so, for instance, you can click an phaser off and on and retain all the other aspects of the preset. Given that you can use up to ten effects – but can only see five at a time – you have to decide which ones you want to have control of from a footswitch.
Pedal power
This isn't as bad as it sounds as you probably won't be using 10 effects that all require toggle activation – think EQ, compressor, noise gate. Even if you did, then it would be possible to duplicate the preset and have effects assigned differently to pedals A to E – a simple drag and drop operation.
The lettered footswitches relate to the effects pedals showing on-screen
While all this is all perfectly logical, it takes a while to get your head round the fact that these large footswitches relate to five small pedals and five named presets below them. Apart from the middle switches, the iPad icons and the footswitches don't line up at all. Aesthetically, you can see where Digitech is coming from – plastering each pedal with a letter ABCD or E would look awful, as would some snaking lines to point to the physical switch for each effect. Likewise, having the switches closer together wouldn't work either, so you just have to learn the layout.
Two switches to the left of the iPad screen deal with external devices so that you can introduce an amp or a favourite pedal (stomp) or two into the effects loop. A nice touch is that you can insert these two options anywhere in the signal chain of virtual devices by placing the Amp or Stomp icon in between the pedals in your configuration. The expression pedal defaults to switch between volume and wah duties and even has a calibration feature in the app settings section. Incidentally, you get three wah types too, each offering distinct colourful resonances.
To rearrange assignments simply drag and drop an effects pedals to a lettered footswitch while in Edit mode

Having the iPad display this effects array certainly avoids squinting at some cryptic pedalboard screen to initiate changes. Indeed, the whole process of stringing together effects and saving presets is quick and easy to manage. You want a different amp? Just tap on the one showing and the My Gear window appears with a lengthy row of amp heads to choose from, including Dreadnaught [sic] and Jumbo options that transform electric guitars into acoustic emulations. The same tap and choose approach goes for the speaker cabinets too.
Dialling in changes is made easier if you double tap to enlarge – the pop-up shows the parameters too
Selecting and swapping pedals around is slightly more involved. The iPB-Nexus app has icons for different functions in light grey along the top of the iPad screen. On the right side are those for saving custom presets and the edit option for the effects assignments. Here you can see all the pedals lined up – and can rearrange, add or remove them as necessary.
Sort out assignments and sift through the factory and user presets on the go from the My Tones library
Click for a larger image
Get out of edit and you can make changes to the dials on display – a double tap on an effects pedal enlarges it to make knob twiddling easier. Indeed, making changes on-screen is very responsive and an additional values box appears so you can view alterations more precisely. At this point you might be thinking that there's an awful lot of crouching going on as you tweak pedals and amp settings from the iPad screen with the iPB-10 on the floor. While that is certainly true, the iPB-Nexus app does allow you to make changes without being tethered to the iPB-10 pedal board.
Session player
Admittedly, you won't hear a sound, but it helps become more familiar with the app, scroll through all the available tones and even string some new ones together to try out later. Moreover, if you already have a stack of custom presets that you need sort through and put in order for a gig, you can even do this in the van on the way there.
One last thing on the pedals, a single tap on one brings up all the available effects for that particular group. For instance, the modulation listing goes on for miles, but there are only five reverbs – one spring, one plate and four Lexicon effects. And if you've never heard of Lexicon, let's just say, its reverb hardware and software has graced most of pop music's finest moments in the last thirty years.
Interfacing features ground lift and level matching along with USB audio functionality for recording
Click for a larger image
Talking of studios, the USB interface on the iPB-10 is not only for firmware upgrades from the NetUpdater application, but it also enables the behemoth to work as an audio interface with 44.1kHz/24-bit resolution. I hooked it up to Apple Logic Studio and made a big mistake that took a fair bit of headscratching to sort out.
Works as a stereo audio interface too – shown here in Apple's Logic Studio
First, I set the Record Out level from the iPB-Nexus app and had a healthy signal, complete with effects, ready for track laying. For plumbing into a conventional mixer, not only do you get a standard line level output on 1/4in jacks, but there's a balanced output on XLR jacks to deliver a low noise analogue signal. So I monitored from the 1/4in output and turned it up full from the settings. And that's where I went wrong.
This settings slider is a balance control – it says 1/4in Mix – and varies the level from USB and the iPad. In use, the USB level is the return signal you get from your computer. The iPad level is the guitar output of the iPB-10. With this slider sat somewhere in the middle you'll be able to play along to existing recordings all monitored through the iPB-10.
Just be sure to get the balance right
However, in my haste for fun-packed thrills, I'd shifted this balance control all the way to the right – in effect, iPad-only. So Logic's meters bounced up and down when recording the iPB-10 output, but I couldn't hear a darn thing on playback. To make matters more confusing, the headphone output has no balance control so you do hear everything from that. And even without music software, you can use the iPB-10 as your main audio interface so you can jam along with YouTube clips or anything else that takes your fancy.
The iOS version of GarageBand will record the iPB-10 out – use the Dry option to record without this app's effects
Another surprise was you can even record to iOS version of GarageBand and other similarly equipped apps running within the iPad. I tried this out and it worked fine, but you need to choose the Audio Recorder instrument option and have it set to Dry, so no additional effects from GarageBand are recorded. This does involve a bit of flipping between apps, but once you have the iPB-10 sorted with the set-up you want, you can remain in the recording app and the pedals will still switch effects even though you are flying blind. And if you just want to practice and play along with some songs, iTunes on the iPad can run in the background while you let rip.
Setting the tone
I began tests on the Digitech iPB-10 with Reg Hardware's own trusty Yamaha Pacifica 120H – its humbuckers with coil tap switching giving a good tonal range to bring out the colour of the amp and chorus effects. Interestingly, there's no input volume level or any confidence metering on the iPB-10, but if you press and hold the active bank pedal, a tuner appears. And if you're struggling to hear anything don't forget there's a good old fashioned output volume knob at the back and, of course, the volume pedal.
Press and hold the program pedal and the tuner appears
Without doubt, the presets are pretty much spot on if you play the riffs or styles associated with them. Rhapsody (as in Bohemian) really does have you sounding like Brian May with its tightly contained distortion and extreme gating. A thinly disguised Vox AC-30 amp also appears described as British 30 with its British 2x12 cabinet. Likewise, Gilmour superbly imitates the jangling chorus strumming in Breathe with compression and overdrive on hand to engage for the delinquent licks in Breathe (Reprise).
The amp heads aren't entirely faithful though, as they all have the same set of controls, so Marshall fans won't find a presence setting, but I doubt they'll miss it. Playing with the effects can leave hours of your life unaccounted for. The chromatic pitch shifter tracks notes extremely well and will bring out the repressed prog rocker in any guitarist – Owner of a Lonely Heart, anyone? There are analogue charms too, with old school delays featuring rapidly fading repeats along with wow and flutter controls for added realism.
As far as toetapping goes, my first complaint was to do with the expression pedal which was all too easy to switch modes going from warbling wah-wah to silence as the volume pedal engaged accidentally. However, much to my surprise, the pedal calibration function also includes switch pressure sensitivity that can be altered to suit your footwork. Brilliant.
Amped up: the same controls appear on all the amp heads but they do the job with gusto
Click for a larger image
Next up, I plumbed in my US Fender Telecaster and invited a mate over for a second opinion who plays in a covers band. Having the sound of instantly recognisable artists and groups available at touch of button wasn't lost on him. Indeed, it's the level of detail that the iPB-10 offers that gives its emulations such authenticity. For guitarists, it's all about tone and the rich harmonic palette – of select amps combined with the unique honking resonances of specific speaker cabinets – that the Digitech delivers can be both subtle and striking, but certainly not samey.
I do have a couple of concerns though, the external PSU has a short lead and will all too easily get lost or mixed up with others somewhere down the line – I'd have preferred mains power, but no doubt there are safety reasons here. The other issue is having an iPad on the floor and exposed to the vagaries of stagecraft. It only needs a mic falling from the stand or a guitar strap coming undone to do some serious damage. A simple transparent cover – that can be detached or flipped open – would offer some protection from potential hazards.
Apart from the iPad itself, the iPB-10 has it all... and a price to match
Without doubt, the Digitech iPB-10 is a dream machine for guitarists, but given its price – and the cost of an iPad too – that's all it is likely to be for many. Indeed, it is only the expense that impacts on its overall rating here, but shop around and you'll find it for just over £400. Of course, if you totted up the value of all the gear it emulates, then it seems like a bargain.
But as I sit here with it at my feet, I am flanked by a Vox AC-10 – which is getting on for its 50th birthday – and an early Peavey Studio Pro 20W that's just hit 30. I've owned both amps for decades and, while they aren't as versatile as the Digitech iPB-10, I reckon they'll be around for another 10 years or more. I'm not sure the same could be said of the Digitech. Rather, the iPB-10 is a different kind of investment. Even if its lifespan lies in the longevity of the iPad, for live and studio work, it certainly has the potential to be more of a money-spinner than lugging around an ageing amp is likely to achieve. ®

It's official. The city of Charlotte has agreed to give nearly $8 million to fund construction of an Uptown stadium for the Charlotte Knights minor league baseball team.
In a 7-4 vote Monday night, a majority of the council endorsed the spending, with Councilman Michael Barnes and Councilwomen Claire Fallon, Patsy Kinsey and Beth Pickering casting the dissenting votes.
"It is a great great investment for travel and tourism," Sid Smith, executive director of the Charlotte Area Retail Association, said. "It's not 72 minor league baseball games: It is the ability to have a stadium that we can use to attract baseball tournaments to town that will have a big economic impact on the city."
With the passing of the proposal, the team has until June 30 to secure whatever remaining funding it needs. The full cost of stadium construction is expected to be $54 million. A total of $750,000 from the tax district that funds Charlotte Center City Partners, a nonprofit that promotes Uptown, will also go toward stadium construction.
Assuming that the team can line up the rest of the funding, the stadium is expected to be under construction by Oct. 1 and open in April 2014. It is planned for the block created by Mint, Martin Luther King, Graham and Mint streets in the 3rd Ward.
In front of the Government Center, where the vote took place, a crowd gathered Monday night. They were joined by a disk jockey and a giant Knights baseball.
But opponents to the project showed up, too, and some voiced their opposition to the City Council. Members of the public who are against the stadium have said that, with the ongoing economic uncertainty, now is not the time for such an investment of public dollars. Critics also say the proposed site would be better used for another purpose and that building a minor league stadium in Charlotte would be saying, basically, that it's not a top-tier city.
"Tonight, by raising your hand in support of this measure, you tell the baseball fans in Charlotte and the Carolinas that they are not capable of supporting a team in the same manor as Cleveland, Detroit or Baltimore," said Jerry Reese, a real estate lawyer who has failed repeatedly to derail the stadium project through lawsuits.
According to projections from the team, the stadium will be home to not only at least 72 minor league baseball games but also other baseball tournaments and city events.
"It's time that Charlotte had an affordable form of entertainment for all families to enjoy," Councilman Patrick Cannon said.

TRAVEL ADVISORY; Amtrak Will Enforce Limits on Luggage
By DAVID BERNSTEIN
Published: October 31, 2004
Starting Nov. 1, Amtrak will begin strictly enforcing baggage guidelines that limit passengers to two carry-ons and three pieces of checked luggage. Amtrak officials say their decision to crack down on excessive luggage is intended to provide safer, more comfortable travel, prevent overcrowding of the baggage areas and reduce injuries.
''The amount of baggage people take with them, especially the huge, wheeled bags, is mind-blowing,'' said Marc Magliari, a spokesman for Amtrak.
''People think that since the bags have wheels on them, they can take several of them.'' Mr. Magliari said. ''But some of these are the size of steamer trunks. The trains were never designed to handle these huge, heavy bags. They slow down the boarding of the train and injure employees having to tote this stuff.''
The two-piece limit on carry-on baggage does not include such personal items as briefcases, purses, laptop computers and baby strollers. Passengers who want to check more than three bags can do so for $10 for each additional piece.
Each bag, whether carry-on or checked, may not weigh more than 50 pounds. Travelers carrying luggage in excess of the limits will not be allowed to board Amtrak trains.
Mr. Magliari said that the baggage guidelines were actually issued in 2002. ''We've been sort of stretching the rules in order to accommodate customers, but it's reached a point where we can't keep doing that,'' he said.
Amtrak's Web site, www.amtrak.com, has information on its baggage policy (click on Traveling with Amtrak and then Baggage Guidelines), or call (800) 872-7245. DAVID BERNSTEIN


text: Equipping classrooms with technology is a good start, but schools also need to train teachers how to integrate those tools into their lessons and make learning more engaging for students. Teachers seem to be demanding it, in fact. According to CDW•G's Learn Now, Lecture Later report, 76 percent of high school IT professionals have received more teacher requests for help with technology integration and related professional development over the past two years.

This evening I went to a going away party for Matt Stone at Northeast Baptist Hospital. Matt, a special man, was President of NEBH and is being transferred to a new hospital in Harlingen. His leaving is a tremendous loss to NEBH, the Baptist Health System and the San Antonio medical community. I personally will miss him a great deal. Matt was a constant in our lives during the period following Ray's stroke in 2008. He always brought a warm smile and gentle, calming presence whenever he entered the room. Tonight I saw grown men cry when talking about Matt leaving. The guests, while predominantly physicians, also consisted of nurses and others who came to share their sadness at his leaving, but wishing him the best. His legacy is a well run hospital, a professional staff that works together to make the hospital a special place and people who truly love him as their boss and as a person. Matt leads by example.
After I left the party, I went to the CVU to visit. That is the unit where Ray spent so many nights and days during the 27 months of his illness and where he lost his battle to live. Those people became almost like family to us. While there, I was told about a patient, a retired SAPD officer who recently had a stroke. He was transported to NEBH and because the Hildebrand initiated stroke protocols were in place, this officer survived and is on the road to recovery. While it is painful to think about Ray's sacrifices resulting in these changes, I was so proud to learn that Ray was the catalyst for change that saved the life of one of his own – an SAPD Officer. That would mean more to Ray than anything and it does to me as well.
This week has consisted of a visit to the dentist, Dr. Bob Henslee. He has taken care of our family for over 20 years. The good news was no cavities. Today I went to see our family ophthalmologist, Dr. Jean Edwards Holt. She also has taken care of us for 20 years. It is always sad to go places where Ray and I used to go. While it is painful, it is also reassuring to have doctors we know and have always trusted.
Today was my boss, Don Saunders', 70th birthday. Don, who I refer to as "Fearless" as in Fearless Leader, and I have worked together ten years. He was my confidante, my advisor, my friend and my family during Ray's illness. I am blessed to have him in my life and aside from wishing him a very happy birthday, I will always be grateful to him for the support he gave me during the darkest time of my life. Saturday night, we will be celebrating Don's life at the Lodge with a group of friends, clients and colleagues. Happy Birthday Fearless.

so easy, yet so hard....
July 16 2010 at 9:47 AM
Response to
Training trains eyes too
Seems like such an easy thing to do....yet it eludes me! I've been working at the exercises more lately and staying off the course/range.....good thing is I see some other positive changes, and the last time I did actually hit balls I had positive results. I feel like I'm doing the "vital move" correctly during my training, but it doesn't show during actual swings...and if I try to consciously do it while hitting balls I usually will not finish my backswing and other bad things happen. Also, this proves I need to video tape my exercises more.....
I'll get there...eventually.

The gift of education
Observer Editorial Board | Friday, February 15, 2013
Stop. Look around you. Where are you? Maybe you're somewhere on the Notre Dame or Saint Mary's campuses. You might be sitting at your desk in the offices of a major financial firm in New York or Chicago. Or you could be using medical expertise to provide health care to people in need in another country.
How did you get there? Not in the literal sense of modes of transportation, but in terms of the experiential journey you took to arrive at this particular physical location and moment in your life.
Now ask yourself – could you have gotten to that place without an excellent education?
Chances are the answer is a resounding "no."
From the time most of us began preschool, higher education and career aspirations were probably a topic of occasional dinnertime discussion or at least casual thought. Whether you dreamed of being a doctor or lawyer, a teacher or CEO, those dreams were predicated on progressing through at least 18 years of education before attaining your respective goal. We understood such long-term goals couldn't be achieved overnight, and hard work and perseverance in school were necessary means to the end of realizing our personal ambitions.
No matter where we grew up, we were lucky to have access to the kind of educational experiences that paved the path to where we find ourselves right now.
But for too many young people in the United States today, those educational opportunities are declining in number and quality every day. Too many students graduate high school unable to read at an 8th grade level. Schools all over the country fail to meet expectations set by standardized testing.
This is a serious problem in need of equally serious attention.
For those schools unable to fully meet the needs of their students, the impact of such a lack of resources and opportunities is felt years and decades after children leave school and become adults. These limitations hinder students' ability to succeed in every field of the workforce, from engineering and medicine to business and journalism.
Our nation, exceptional in many measurable areas, ranks only 17th in education among its developed peers, according to a 2012 global report by the education firm Pearson. We are losing educational ground quickly, and this trend bears negative implications for American innovation, technological advancement and global participation.
President Barack Obama acknowledged the unsettling decline of American education in recent years and pledged to take action to improve educational shortcomings during his State of the Union address Tuesday. But he alone can't bring the entire nation to a higher standard of academic excellence.
That's where we, as Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students, come in.
Sound like a lofty goal? It is. But we're not telling everyone that we have to commit our lives to teaching or serving as school principals. We can have a tangible impact on children's futures even during our undergraduate years. Since the earliest years of education are arguably the most formative, we can take it upon ourselves to start tutoring at the Robinson Center or La Casa de Amistad. We can work as camp counselors during the summer. Notre Dame and Saint Mary's partner with local schools and organizations to run mentoring programs for young people in the South Bend community. Even the simple act of a friendly hug can mean more than you know.
If teaching seems like a feasible career path for you, apply for Teach for America or the Alliance for Catholic Education to make a difference in both public and private underserved schools across the country.
Even if we don't see teaching or school administration in our career paths, we have countless opportunities to contribute our own voices to the education debate. Whether we realize it or not, education will continue to affect us even after our own formal educational experiences end. And whether we pledge to volunteer in local schools, dedicate our lives to shaping education policy or even just serve on the local PTA, we can make a difference.
It's not enough to sit on the sidelines while the education debate rages on before our eyes once we leave the education system. We have been educated at a world-class institution of higher learning, and we have the power to use the broad base of knowledge we've gained in college to change the future of American education. So how will you share the gift of education that has been given to you with the rest of the country?

Santa Maria, Calif. In a major setback for Michael Jackson, a judge ruled Monday that the jury can hear allegations that the pop star molested or had designs on five other boys, including actor Macaulay Culkin and two youngsters who reached multimillion-dollar settlements with the singer.
Dist. Atty. Tom Sneddon said Jackson's inappropriate activities with these boys included kissing, hugging and inserting his hands into their pants. He also said there was a pattern of "grooming," or preparing the boys for molestation, but did not elaborate.
Jackson, 46, is on trial on charges he molested one boy -- then 13 -- at his Neverland ranch in 2003. In most criminal cases, evidence of past behavior is not admissible against a defendant. However, the California Legislature changed that in 1995, specifically in cases of child molestation and domestic violence.
Sneddon said the testimony about the five cases would show that Jackson has a consistent pattern of abuse.
The incidents allegedly occurred 12 to 15 years ago, and the prosecutor acknowledged that only one of the five boys has agreed to testify at Jackson's trial. Some of the other testimony would come from the mothers of the two boys who won settlements.
Defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. asked Judge Rodney Melville to exclude the allegations, saying they were based on third parties, many of whom were after Jackson's money. The reference was to former Jackson employees who sued the singer in the past and lost, and were then ordered to pay the singer $1 million in damages.
And Mesereau said Culkin, a frequent visitor to Jackson's Neverland Ranch, "has repeatedly said he was never molested."
Culkin's publicist, Michelle Bega, said Monday that the "Home Alone" star "is presently not involved with the proceedings, and we do not expect that to change."
After the judge's ruling, comedian George Lopez took the stand and told about helping Jackson's current accuser as the boy battled cancer. Lopez said he came to believe the boy's father was more interested in money than helping his son. He testified the father accused the comedian of stealing $300 from the boy's wallet.
Lopez said that he finally cut off the family because of the father's frequent and aggressive requests for help.
When the father asked what he was supposed to tell his son, Lopez testified that he responded: "Tell him his father's an extortionist."
The defense contends Lopez, star of the ABC sitcom "George Lopez," is among celebrities who were targeted by the accuser's family in schemes to make money.
Sneddon said one boy from the five earlier cases would come forward and his mother also would testify. That case involved a boy who was allegedly involved in a 1990 incident and received a $2.4 million settlement from Jackson in 1994.
The district attorney also promised testimony from the mother of a boy who reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Jackson in 1993.
It was unclear exactly what Jackson was accused of doing with each of the five boys, though the 1993 accuser claimed he was repeatedly molested, and Sneddon said the boy in the 1990 case was touched twice over his clothes and once under his clothes.
The judge excluded two other boys named by the prosecution but did not say why.

Moshi, Tanzania
Indo-Italiano Moshi Reviews
17 reviews
Probably the best restaurant in Moshi Feb 15, 2012
Yes it does both Italian and Indian food which can be a red flag in some places - but compared to everywhere else in Moshi, this place is excellent.
The drinks are actually cold (not just "slightly below room temperature"), the pizzas are quite good, the pastas excellent and the curry quite flavoursome.
I sat on the balcony whenever I ate there which was quite relaxing, although if arriving after 7pm or so you may need to make a reservation as it can get busy. Service is surprisingly good.

- Were you looking for info on Garrison Shipyards introduced in Patch 6.2?
Shipyards are where ships are made and sold. A shipyard community, has the skills and materials to build sailing vessels. The community is situated on a river, lake or sea. The community can build and maintain a fleet of sailing vessels, or it can take on repair work for other communities as a means of gaining additional income. Partially completed sailing ships can be seen near the water; as well as large stocks of timber planking, equipment for heating and bending timber.[1] (WoWRPG 386)
Orc Shipyard Edit
Although a haphazard collection of stone, mortar and cheap lumber, the shabby Orc Shipyard is perhaps the most important structure in the Hordes' war effort. As the construction site for Warships, Transports and Tankers, Shipyards serve as a vital link between the scattered clans across Lordaeron. These sites also have crude processing facilities, enabling Tankers to deliver shipments of oil to them. The Shipyards are manned by procrastinating, slovenly Orcs who somehow manage to keep production and maintenance on schedule.[2] (W2Man 82)
Alliance Shipyard Edit
Shipyards are primarily responsible for the construction of the various warships in the Alliance's naval forces. Elevated on strong pillars of Ironwood, these waterfront structures are also responsible for receiving and processing the oil necessary to construct these ships of war. Shipyards are manned by dedicated sailors and shipwrights who strive tirelessly to keep the fleet running smoothly and efficiently.[2] (W2Man 55)
Undead Shipyard Edit
Crude stone and iron structures responsible for the construction of Undead warships. Run by undead zombies and minions, these shoreline structures are found mostly in Northrend where they tirelessly assemble Undead Transports, Frigates and Battleships for the Scourge.
Goblin Shipyard Edit
This bustling yard full of Goblins is eager to sell you a transport ship capable of carrying units over water.[3] (W3TFTMan 18)
In World of Warcraft EditThis section concerns content exclusive to World of Warcraft.
Any port can be a shipyard, but ships are shown being built in Lost Rigger Cove and Ironclad Cove.

Everything Obama does is driven by politics and his personal, idealistic agenda, not the good of the country. His weak foreign policies are no exception, therefore, an article in the Washington Free Beacon (thanks to Drudge for pointing it out) claiming the administration is "begging" Iran to sign a nuclear deal sounds true – and pathetic. Anger is growing at U.S. concessions and delays allowing Iran to continue its nuclear program unimpeded, so Obama's desperation to sign a deal, any deal, has to be at its peak.
From the Washington Free Beacon
A top Iranian military leader claims that U.S. officials have been "begging us" to sign a nuclear deal during closed door negotiations with Tehran…American officials routinely "plea" with Iran in talks and the United States is negotiating from a position of weakness…The military leader's remarks appear to jibe with new reports that the United States is conceding ground to Iran in talks and will now allow it to "keep much of its uranium-enriching technology".
"Iran feels the administration needs the deal, and this belief is supported by the way the administration is acting," said Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iranian dissident…America's "hostility toward its traditional allies in the region, Israel and Saudi Arabia, is at its historical peak…"Iran feels as long as the negotiation is going on, it has a green light to do whatever it wants in the region, so why should they bother to sign a deal?"… While U.S. officials have claimed multiple times in recent months that progress is being made in the talks, Iranian officials deny that this is the case…

When Sharon Shaffer leaves her apartment in the Heron Pond community, she uses a scooter chair which runs on a battery. It's her only means of transportation.
But a fall last week on the bridge on Williams Ave., over the Abel Canal, has left her scared that it could happen again. She said she was coming back on her scooter when a bicyclist came from behind her and as usual, people in scooters pull to the side to allow them to safely pass by.
The bicyclists went by her and she had pulled over to the curb of the bridge and one of the wheels of her scooter fell off the curb, bringing her into the roadway, with her in seatbelts.
Article Photos
Sharon Shaffer
"People drove their cars right around me. They were driving fast and I was scared to death. Nobody stopped to help me.
"It was horrible and I am scared to death to even cross the bridge now because this is the third time my scooter has fallen, only this time in fell with me in it right into the roadway. I ended up on my side with the scooter almost on top of me. Nobody, nobody stopped to help," she said.
Shaffer, 65, lives alone and is suffering from several disabilities including osteoporosis "from the neck to the toes," painful arthritis, and post trauma distress syndrome.
"I can get around my small apartment here at Heron Pond, but when I go out, I have to use the scooter. I go down to the CVS store and get most of the things I need and I enjoy going down to the Barbara Farrell Park and to the area where my grandson plays ball," she said.
"But I don't go much past there. I have gone as far as my doctor next to LRMC, but I can't go any more out there and the scooter is slow. When I come back, I have to plug it in to charge," she said.
Sometimes she takes her pet Chiwawa dog, Penny, and sometimes she takes a heavy oxygen tank with her.
But last week, she didn't take Penny and she didn't take her oxygen tank.
"If I had that heavy oxygen tank with me on my scooter, it probably would have killed me," Shaffer said.
The incident has so upset her that she now takes anxiety medication when she leaves to ride outside and the sight of the bridge, she says, scares her to death.
"I can't help it. It is a big scare for me."
Shaffer said she isn't the only person on a scooter who has fallen on the pavement going across the bridge.
"My friend Nadine, who also lives at Heron Pond, has fallen, too, and she is not comfortable having to ride a scooter on the sidewalk across the bridge."
Nicholson said she has fallen but someone did stop to help her. She said it was unbelievable that nobody stopped to help Shaffer who lay out on the road and could have been run over.
Shaffer was finally able to get her seatbelt off, she said, and pull the scooter up to the pavement and the scooter, she said is heavy and difficult to pull on.
What Shaffer and Nicholson believe should be done is have the county or the local water control district, whoever maintains the bridge, to erect signs on either side of the bridge warning those who use scooters to be especially careful when they pull over to allow a biker to pass by.
On regular sidewalks, they can pull over to the grassy area. But on the bridge, there is a wall which doesn't give them room to pull over.
A visual inspection of the bridge appears that the wide pavement narrows a few inches at the bridge, making it somewhat even more narrow. And with the bridge wall so close to the sidewalk, if someone falls, he or she will end up on the pavement or in the road.
"I didn't know who to call. My son, who lives in Lehigh doesn't even know what happened because I have not told him yet," she said. "I was afraid he might ground me riding on that bridge again," she said. Her son and his wife and their children live in a new home some miles away from Heron Pond. Another idea would be to instruct bikers to get off their bicycles and walk their bikes over which could be safer without have a person on a scooter pulling over to the side to allow someone riding a two-wheeler.
"I guess I cannot give up or I won't be able to get the things I need from CVS," she said. "But I am petrified, thinking about riding my scooter over that bridge again," Shaffer said. "The other day I went out on my scooter, but I had to take an anxiety pill just to do it.
Meanwhile, both women, are hoping something can be done and they both agree that signs may help.
"You know why people speed so fast across that bridge? I think it is because they race to make that right-hand turn on a green light and once they have made the turn they are going fast and are immediately on the bridge. They don't slow down. It's scary," she said.

Welcome to Coffee Trader
Traders is an upscale coffee shop compared to your local Starbucks. The staff was friendly to me all day long. Coffee refills were free and so was the wi-fi. I tried to spend my afternoon reviewing/learning calculus. I of course found many distractions to keep me from doing that. Such as writing an article for my blog.
According to some information on the wall Traders was remodeled in 2004. It currently has hard wood floors and tables and chairs that are a nice maple stain. In addition to having good coffee there is a full menu of frou frou drinks for the typical coffee house yuppie.
At this point I have been at Traders for 6h or so. I decided to whip out the pda and write this from the coffee shop. I also have the ability to post this from my new phone, however I was not able to get the pictures to upload, so I waited till I got home.
I had a couple short conversations with some locals and they were both friendly.
I of course probably looked like quite the spectacle as usual. Let me just describe what my table looks like.
I am currently typing this on my pda via a full size fold out keyboard. I am listening to three days grace on my old phone. I have my cd player and headphones still out on the table, which unfortunately ran out of batteries a couple hours ago. Since I have been working on calculus I also have my TI-92+ on display, with my numerous books, notes and old tests.
I should also point out that since I upgraded my phone to a Samsung i730. I have three qwerty keyboards on my one little coffee table, however only one of them is full size. My camera has also made a couple of appearances today. Not to mention the pda to phone IRDA transfer of photos from the camera! Despite all of this the locals were still friendly. I think a couple of guys who were sitting in the corner with their laptops were a little intimidated by all of my technology. I mean why would anyone by a laptop when they can spend just as much money on four or five devices that can almost do most of the functions of a laptop.
Anyways I should get back to studying since school is starting on Monday. Good luck to all those who will be joining me. I just wanted to leave you with an uplifting quote by Ayn Rand, something to think about as school resumes.
What does all of this do to the best minds among the students?
Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched
determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological
scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they
struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think,
sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on
their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from
mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with
a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.

I need advice dealing with my dh's ex wife...
I'll try to make this short but there is a lot to it so here goes...
When dh and I were dating he was ordered to pay 1200/mo. He didn't pay much out of spite, very stupid and I gave him my opinion on that. When everything was finally settled he ended up being 8k in arrears but has now paid that down to 1300. Sometime in there his pay was cut in half and he lost his job so his support was modified to 640/mo plus 250 towards arrears totally 900/mo. He has never found a job making the money he previously made not for lack of trying. Still for the most part he has been able to comfortably pay support plus extras that are not court ordered (sports fees, school supplies, clothing, a bike kept at her house for the oldest, their oldest cellphone bill, etc). With support being 1/3 or more of his income it's still easy to get behind. In the past four years he's missed 3k worth of payments. Not all subsequent, spread out. Half of that was during a job change since he was offered a better job with benefits. I would like to mention that his ex previously listed her income as much lower than it was and there was no mention of the 132 overnights he gets them a year. In our state those two things make an impact on the amount he pays but since he couldn't afford a lawyer he got screwed.
That's a little backstory on why I guess she is so angry with him and considers him a deadbeat. But that's not even the real issue here. The issue is she attempts to make our lives hell and puts the kids in the middle of it all. She refuses to compromise on anything such as transportation. For instance, a few weeks ago I picked up two of the kids for visitation. The other two decided to stay home for whatever reason but decided they wanted to come Sunday afternoon, we were taking them home the next morning. She called and told us to pick them up. We asked if she could drop them off since we were in the middle if an activity with the other two. She refused and things escalated. She told the two with her their father didn't want to get them and then out of spite she came and picked up the other two. We didn't want to make a scene so sort of stayed quiet through it all. I do most of the transportation because dh works 60+ hours. I was very upset about all this because there have been many times I've dropped what I was doing to pick up the kids or drop them off because she couldn't or didn't want to. I guess I got to a point where enough was enough so I let her know I would no longer do those things. She replied, "you don't help me out, you help out dh and that's your job".
Before I start rambling, my point is I don't want to engage in power struggles with her but I don't want to be taken advantage of either. It's not just this situation....there are many where I feel she attempts to control our household. She schedules appts and other things during dh's time, talks through the kids (even when it comes to support), and using the kids as guilt trips when she wants us to do something she doesn't want to do and we are unable to do. She uses the fact dh is unavailable against him a lot but hello he is working and trying to pay support.
I just don't understand the hostility. I understand the frustration with money especially since she just bought a big house she can't really afford but I still don't see why everything must be made difficult. It's all a nightmare and everyone is miserable including the kids. I don't know how to handle this! I know it's not my business but she drags me into it all. I try to help out and suddenly it's MY responsibility.
What can we do? I've suggested going back to court or mediation and getting everything in writing since things have changed and there will be no disagreement. Also, doing a wage assignment so it automatically comes from his check instead of being badgered or having the kids ask how much she is getting each week.
I hope I don't sound awful. I don't mean to, I'm just stressed out and sick of it.
Your dh can deal with her.
Making appts, you have to take what's given.
Your dh created his own arrears.
Who is ordered to transport? I will agree with her that you are helping DH not BM when it comes to anything. When I make appointments and such I call and they tell me a day and time.
It's hard not to be dragged into certain situations when dh is working and the kids are with me. I don't want to refuse but I'd like more control over my life as well. I guess really the issue is being caught in the crossfire between dh and his ex. How do I get out of that without hurting the kids? I just want to scream at them both and say figure all this out because we are all sick of the fighting.
Quoting owl0210: It's not your problem so stop allowing her to "drag" you into anything. This is your husband's problem but I can understand her frustration about the child support. Him not paying out of spite was bullshit and only hurts the kids.
We went through the same thing with bm trying to control everything. We finally were able to get full custody of the kids (different issue) and told her that we were done with all of it and that we would go by the custody papers and that we would meet halfway between her house and ours. We told her if she didn't show up that we would take the kids home and that she would have to wait until the next scheduled visitation to see them (she was bad about changing arrangements last minute to so that was reason for part of this) and that if she didn't have them back at the meeting place at the time discussed that we would have her arrested for noncustodial kidnapping. We made sure to have the police with us at exchanges because when she would show up on time she would cause problems. We did, however, tell her that if she was going to be late (no more than 20 minutes) that we would wait as long as she called our cells to tell us she was running late.
You don't have to be dragged into anything. You can opt out of all transportation and let the two of them figure it out. You can take yourself out of the crossfire. How would that hurt the kids?
Quoting FreedomTruth:

You could continue doing regular, planned transportation like you describe here, and make it known that you will not do any ad-hoc transportion like what you described in your OP. Make it well-known to everyone. That way they won't even ask you.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh congratulated Sachin Tendulkar for his "amazing achievement" of scoring 50 Test hundreds in the ongoing first Test against South Africa in Centurion.
Singh also hoped that Tendulkar will continue to bring joy to "our countrymen" and wished more "such achievements" to him, a PMO spokesman said.
"It is an amazing achievement to play for the country for over two decades and still continue to be the team's anchor. Sachin makes all of us so very proud," Singh said.
Tendulkar on Sunday created history by becoming the first cricketer to score 50 Test tons, during India's second innings at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
Meanwhile, BJP president Nitin Gadkari, an avid cricket enthusiast, said he was proud of Sachin Tendulkar.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi too joined the PM and congratulated Tendulkar for his "historic" feat, saying he has done India proud by creating yet another world record.
