Live And In Living Colour With Doug Wimbish
"I should have known something was up," Doug Wimbish says. "I flew into a hurricane that day. I'll never forget it."
On a warm afternoon in July, Wimbish is at Novasound, his studio in Hartford, Connecticut, messing around with remixes of Living Colour's Shade. He's got plenty to say about the band's first release in eight years, an exciting return to form based loosely around the blues—but to put it in perspective, let's set the stage for his Living Colour audition, way back in 1991.
After making a name for himself as a teenager with East Coast funk ensemble Wood, Brass & Steel in the mid '70s, Wimbish had helped birth hip-hop in the early '80s. He contributed bass parts to classics such as Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel's "White Lines" for producer Sylvia Robinson at All Platinum and Sugar Hill, and he put the flash underneath "Unity," the 1984 James Brown/Afrika Bambaataa collaboration, on Tommy Boy Records. Soon, he was working with icons such as Solomon Burke, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, and Jack McDuff, as well as appearing on R&B albums by Candi Staton, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Lou Rawls, and the O'Jays. When Wimbish moved to London in 1984, gigs with Mick Jagger and Jeff Beck—as well as a burgeoning studio career that spanned pop (Michael Bolton, Carly Simon), funk (George Clinton, Nona Hendryx), R&B (Melba Moore, Freddie Jackson), futuristic industrial and dub (Tackhead, Mark Stewart, On U-Sound), and rock (Billy Idol, Peter Wolf)—elevated his profile substantially. His circle included cutting-edge producers and remixers, such as Chris Lord-Alge, Adrian Sherwood, Arthur Baker, Trevor Horn, and Rick Rubin. By his 35th birthday, he was juggling sessions with Jagger, Madonna, Seal, Annie Lennox, Joe Satriani, and Ronnie Wood while mulling an offer from Bruce Springsteen.
In the midst of this whirlwind, Wimbish was invited to audition for Living Colour, whose 1988 debut, Vivid, had gone double-platinum. (Doug had met Living Colour founder Vernon Reid—a Tackhead fan—as early as 1982, so it's no surprise he was on the shortlist of replacements when original bassist Muzz Skillings left.) Flying through that hurricane on his way back into New York, he arrived at the band's Brooklyn rehearsal space. Reid, drummer Will Calhoun, and frontman Corey Glover asked what he wanted to do first, and Wimbish suggested "Time's Up," the blazing, tricky title track of the band's 1990 second album.
The room got so quiet that Doug wondered if he'd said something wrong.
"I'm looking around, and I can feel the vibe," he chuckles. "They're looking at each other and not saying anything. Finally, they tell me, 'We've auditioned a lot of people, and you're the only bass player who wants to play that song.'"
He nailed it, of course, and was back in London the next day.
Inspired by the '70s innovations of Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins, Connecticut native Doug Wimbish has developed a one-man sound-system approach to bass that blurs the lines between supportive accompanist and passionate soloist. His trademark style and unorthodox techniques—which call for the agility of a martial artist, a magician's sleight of hand, and a chef's knack for adding unique spices at unexpected times—has made him one of the world's most in-demand bassists.
Wimbish's 25-year stint with Living Colour may not be his longest musical relationship (he still rolls deep with Wood, Brass & Steel comrade Skip McDonald), but it's a perfect fit. He's an endlessly energetic rhythm-section partner for Calhoun and a stimulating foil for Reid, unafraid to groove hard or ferociously reach into the stratosphere with his own brand of histrionics. "When we get out of our own way," Wimbish says, "we're the best band on earth."
Shade, like 2003's Collideoscope and 2009's Chair in the Doorway, is a lively showcase of the Living Colour partnership. The first single, a cover of the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya," condemns gun violence, a problem more prevalent now than it was for the bluesmen who inspired the album's foundation. Shade isn't just your granddaddy's 12-bar blues, though: This 13-track fireball has the soulful vocals, fresh samples and programming, powerful drums, and incendiary guitar that are Living Colour's hallmarks. Wimbish is a major presence throughout, Whammying skyward on "Preachin' Blues," grooving mightily underneath "Pattern in the Time/Skin in the Game" and "Invisible," adding signature flavors to "Two Sides," getting things started on "Blak Out," and laying a fat foundation to every tune. "At this stage of our lives, we're glad we're able to make a record that sums up what we're all about," he says. You know he means it.
Living Colour has survived drastic changes to the music business and a breakup. Wimbish officially joined the band in early 1992, but 1993's excellent Stain failed to crack the Top 20, and tensions led to a hiatus in 1995. Wimbish moved back to London, adding Lee "Scratch" Perry, Little Annie, Naomi Campbell, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Nitzer Ebb, Bomb The Bass, Depeche Mode, and a dozen other credits to his resumé. He released a solo album, Trippy Notes for Bass, just after his Jungle Funk collaboration with Calhoun and percussionist Vinx hit the streets in 1999. Meanwhile, the work kept on coming, from INXS' Michael Hutchence and Herb Alpert to Puff Daddy and Bim Sherman.
Since Living Colour reunited in late 2000, Wimbish, back on U.S. soil, has played a large role in keeping things together. His decades of studio experience have earned the trust of his bandmates, who okayed Andre Betts, Wimbish's choice for Shade producer. Away from Living Colour, Doug has found time for an instructional DVD, New Dimensions for Bass (he also gives Skype lessons at email@example.com); a second solo album, Cinema-Sonics; his Head>>Fake project, also with Calhoun; and sessions with artists as wide-ranging as Kanye West, Ms. Lauryn Hill, African Head Charge, Busta Rhymes, Mos Def/Black Jack Johnson, Tarja Tarunen, Barrington Levy, Primal Scream, BT, Sussan Deyhim, and Dhafer Youssef. His energy is boundless.
Back in Hartford, Wimbish is grateful for a life well lived, but excited about the future. At press time, he was hyped about the debut of DMD, a trio with guitarist Marcus Machado and drummer Daru Jones, another trio with 14-year-old guitarist Brandon "Taz" Niederauer and drummer Joey Peebles, and recent work with English rapper Roots Manuva, KMFDM frontman Sascha Konietzko, German band Schiller, and tween rockers Unlocking The Truth. He also mentions a new chapter with lifelong collaborators McDonald and Sherwood—a fresh batch of Little Axe and Tackhead material, as well as upcoming releases with Scratch Perry, Bernard Fowler, Coldcut, Ghetto Priest, and the Jungle Brothers. And then there's the annual WimBash, a series of Wimbish-organized music jams that have taken place all over the world, from Winter NAMM in Anaheim and the DREAM Project in the Dominican Republic to London and New Orleans JazzFest, since 2004.
We talked to Wimbish, 60, at his home, where he was surrounded by a lifetime's worth of basses, effects, amps, and other gear. More than four decades after he first began gigging, Wimbish's enthusiasm for all things bass remains spectacularly undimmed.
Congratulations on a quarter-century with Living Colour.
Ain't that something? Who would have ever thought?
Your connection with Will Calhoun is tighter than ever.
I could play four notes and a rhythm and he already knows where to go with it, and vice versa. I know his swagger and his template and when he's going to speed up or slow down. I sound better with him on drums, and he sounds better with me on bass. Period.
What inspired Living Colour to dig into the blues on the new album?
It all started when we played at the Robert Johnson At 100 event at the Apollo, in 2012. We did Johnson's "Preachin' Blues," and the performance that night was so magical that we decided to re-engineer the blues for our next album, tying together traditional tunes like "Preachin' Blues" with songs like Biggie's "Who Shot Ya" and Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues," and still having it sound like us.
How important is it for the band to stay current?
Some people would love it if we made another Vivid, but we have to be who we are right now. It took five years to make this record, because we needed enough time to listen, find the right songs, and find the right way to play this material. We're happy with what we did. This is the statement we are contributing to this crazy music business right now, and I'm proud of it.
The business has changed so much since you started out in the '70s.
It's a different world. When I was a teenager working with Sylvia Robinson at All Platinum and Sugar Hill, those were the last days of being in the studio with an arranger, working with different artists. It was like Motown. But the studio scene has changed—unless you're in Nashville playing sessions or in L.A. doing film stuff, those days are over. New York is a tough city unless you're doing jingles or you're already in that kind of clique.
It's surprising how much of your early work is still on the airwaves.
I hear music we did in the Sugar Hill era almost daily, whether it's Sugarhill Gang's "Apache (Jump On It)," which is played at so many sports games, or "Funk You Up" by the Sequence, which has been used by artists like Dr. Dre and Bruno Mars. We're part of the DNA of hip-hop. And DJ Soul Sister in New Orleans brought back Wood, Brass & Steel's "Funkanova" in a big way.
What kind of gigs were you doing back in the day?
I remember doing four sets a night in Hartford, driving to New York City to play after-hours clubs where the first set didn't start until 5:30 in the morning, and then driving back to Hartford. Sometimes, Wood, Brass & Steel would do three gigs a day: We'd split up the band to do two weddings, play a New York set until 11 AM, and then drive back to Hartford so we could play the next gig that night.
Who were your mentors?
Local musicians. Gary Williams, who gave me my first bass lessons, later worked with Babyface, the Isley Brothers, D'Angelo, and Pino [Palladino]. He just passed away. As I got older, Harold Sargeant, the drummer in Wood, Brass & Steel, became my mentor; he introduced me to Skip McDonald. These cats who were the real, knowing-how-to-survive players, coming off the chitlin' circuit—they taught me that it ain't all about the notes. It's how you survive to get to the stage where you play the notes.
Who were your first bass heroes?
I came up at a time when the bass was in your face, so I was listening to electric and acoustic players: James Jamerson, Bootsy, Stanley Clarke, Jaco, Paul Jackson, Alphonso Johnson, Billy Cox, Jack Bruce, Chris Squire, Sal Cuevas and Bobby Valentín from Fania All-Stars, Aston "Family Man" Barrett, Chuck Rainey, Ray Brown, Verdine White, Cachao, Ron Carter, John Entwistle, Charlie Mingus, Monk Montgomery, and Larry Graham.
You had a thriving career in the U.S. What inspired you to move to England in '84?
There was so much activity over there. England has more recording studios than any place on earth, and at that time, there weren't so many distractions. There was a lot of interest in the Sugar Hill rhythm section; English cats were checking out me, Skip, and Keith [LeBlanc].
You developed a whole other style during those years in London.
I completely invented another personality in England. Skip, Keith, Adrian [Sherwood], and I were doing mad stuff! Tackhead was one of the first bands, if not the first, to make records with samples and an AMS DMX 15-80S digital delay. I was around all these dub-head minds like Adrian, doing stuff with Lee "Scratch" Perry and Ari Up from the Slits, working with Mark Stewart and Daniel Miller from Mute Records, remixing for Depeche Mode, and collaborating with Neneh Cherry and Shara Nelson from Massive Attack. Adrian was also working with Rough Trade Records and Al Jourgensen of Ministry on the Twitch album. I was with people who had a vast knowledge of reggae, and people who were into all the hardcore stuff. I learned so much.
Is that how you found your distinctive tone?
My tone came through trial and error, making records, doing gigs, playing different styles, and becoming different characters. The shape of your note is based on the spacing, the songs you play, how you articulate things, and how you push it. Every time I see someone play, school is in. The more I play, the more comfortable I am switching characters.
When did you get into effects?
I began collecting pedals when I was young; I had a Mu-Tron, a fuzz, a phaser, and an Echoplex when I was about 13. I still had tape on the neck to show me where the notes were, but I was learning to play and developing a taste for sounds at the same time—they went hand in hand. If there was a pedal nearby, I plugged it in. I was never afraid.
Where were you buying gear?
Back in those days, I borrowed more gear than I bought. The elders I was around knew I liked pedals, so they would go out and get them for me. And my brother's and sister's friends in Vietnam would send home strange pedals from China and Japan.
Were you using effects on every gig?
On certain bass gigs I had to play it straight, but then Larry Graham came out with the fuzz, and jazz cats started to get into funk—Herbie [Hancock] slayed us with "Chameleon," Miles with Live Evil and On the Corner. Jimi [Hendrix] turned a lotta cats out, sound-and style-wise. I watched Bootsy go from playing tight stuff with James Brown to being in P-Funk with the Mu-Tron and fuzz, on the heels of Larry Graham, who was the granddaddy of all that stuff. By the time I turned 18 in 1974, sonics were full-on. The bass was in your face.
What was your first real bass?
In 1974, I traded a white Ibanez SG copy, a set of new strings, and $50 for my '72 Fender Jazz, the one I played all the Sugar Hill stuff on. Right around then, I learned how strings affected tone. I was using black nylon strings, and when I got roundwounds, it might as well have been Jesus Christ coming out of the clouds. Now I could hear things!
Over the years, you've become associated with Spector basses and Trace Elliot amps.
My Spector basses and Trace Elliot amps are a match made in heaven. My classic tone is a Spector bass with EMG pickups, Roto-sound .040–.100 roundwound strings, with the old-school Spector preamp; a TC Electronic 2290 digital delay; Trace Elliot AH600SMX stereo heads with 4x5 Brite Boxes; and Trace Elliot 4x10 and 1x15 cabs. When you have two 4x10s and two 1x15s, you don't have to strain the amp much. You can turn down real low, and it can handle depth.
How did you use the 2290?
That was my main brain, for years. It had five auxiliary sends, one of which I could use in stereo, so I started to put my rack stuff and pedals through there. I retired it a couple years after Living Colour got back together, and now the Eventide H9 has replaced everything I got from the 2290.
You have a unique way of making split-second effect choices.
I've been working on "audio illusions" for a long time, challenging myself to see how quickly can I get in and out of an effect, fearlessly and smoothly, like Houdini or Bruce Lee. By the time people notice, it's already gone. It's an art to move sonics and the shape of the note in real time.
Most of your effects are guitar pedals.
Besides the SansAmp Bass Driver, everything I use is a guitar pedal. Sometimes, manufacturers take out the top end of their bass pedals, and they compress it. The frequencies aren't what I'd like to hear; I need more fidelity. But there's a lot of great minds working on bass pedals out there right now, and I'm all eyes and ears.
In your opinion, what's the most common pedalboard mistake players make?
Using bad cables. I make sure every cable is the best quality, and that they're not too long. Don't wind 'em up; once you start curling cables, you're starting your own radio station. I mostly use Asterope cables, which are almost like instruments themselves. Essential Sound Products cables are brilliant, too. It's amazing what clean power will do to your sound. And it's important to use the power supply that came with the pedal.
What advice would you give to a young bass player today?
The industry is on its knees, so you have to create your own lane. Get out of your comfort zone. Be humble, be open, and be real. Be social! Put down your iPhones and iPads and walk over to your instrument, because it's not going to walk over to you. Put the time in. Listen with your ears and not your eyes, but keep your eyes wide open, because you might see something you like. Read up on your heroes, see how they were at your age, and see where they are right now. And go see them live!
Are you still learning new things?
I'm always developing. I'm 60 years old and I'm just getting into Victor Wooten's double-thumping technique, and I ain't afraid to say it. If you're honest with yourself, you'll sleep well at night.
Who inspires you these days?
I'm inspired by so many players out there—folks like Victor, Richard Bona, Rodney "Skeet" Curtis, Oteil Burbridge, Gerald Veasley, Steve Bailey, Andrew Gouché, Phil Lesh, John Benitez, Rex Brown, Norwood Fisher, Darryl Jenifer, Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm, Squarepusher, Christian McBride, and Robert Trujillo. I'm also digging Mononeon, Hadrien Feraud, Thundercat, Cody Wright, Janek Gwizdala, Damian Erskine, and the great Brazilian player Michael Pipoquinha. I'm a bass player's biggest fan.

Wednesday, 01 December 2010 09:06 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell predicts the Senate will vote to extend Bush era tax rates to all taxpayers, saying the only issue under negotiation with Democrats and the White House is for how long.
A temporary extension of one to three years would represent a compromise between Republicans and President Barack Obama. Republicans have called for a permanent extension of 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. Obama has said he only wanted to extend the cuts to individuals making less than $200,000.
But the White House had signaled it could be amenable to a temporary extension while stressing its opposition to a permanent extension of the tax rate for wealthier taxpayers.
Democrats also want to extend unemployment benefits as part of the tax agreement.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House held the door open Wednesday for a year-end compromise that would extend all of the Bush-era tax cuts temporarily as House Democrats scheduled a politically charged vote to let them expire for the wealthy on Jan. 1.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs reiterated that President Barack Obama's main goal is to prevent a middle class tax increase. Obama's "other line in the sand" is that he won't support a permanent extension of tax cuts for the wealthy, Gibbs said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Obama, meeting Tuesday with the top two Republicans and the top two Democrats in the House and Senate, specifically voiced his objection to a permanent extension "to the wealthiest Americans.
"Having said that, we agreed that there must be some sensible common ground," Obama said.
That leaves open the possibility of a temporary extension of all the tax cuts.
Later, Gibbs declined to say whether Obama would support extending all the tax cuts for up to three years, which would push the issue beyond the next presidential election, in 2012.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said, "At the end of the day, I've been saying for six months, we'll end up with a minimum of two years of tax policy."
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House Budget Director Jacob Lew met Wednesday with a group of four lawmakers from both parties to negotiate a deal on tax cuts. After two hours, they emerged from a closed-door meeting to say only that they would meet again later in the day.
"No surprises," Geithner said after the morning meeting. "We went through everything on the table, and we agreed we were going to come back this afternoon, late in the day and continue the conversations."
Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress want to extend tax cuts for individuals making less than $200,000 and married couples making less than $250,000. Republicans and some rank-and-file Democrats want to extend the tax cuts for everyone.
Making tax cuts permanent for middle- and lower-income taxpayers would add a little more than $3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Making them permanent for high earners would require an additional $700 billion in federal borrowing, according to congressional estimates.
The House vote, scheduled for Thursday, would extend middle-class tax cuts while letting tax cuts for high earners expire. Even if it passes the House, the bill stands no chance in the Senate. Nevertheless, House Democrats want to publicly stake out their position before compromising on extending the tax cuts for everyone.
Some Senate Democrats are pushing for a similar vote.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said the House vote wouldn't undermine bipartisan negotiations on the tax cuts, "nor is it intended to embarrass or to put Republicans in a difficult place."
House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio called the vote, "a Washington stalling tactic with job-killing implications for employers and entrepreneurs gripped by uncertainty over the looming tax hikes."
Obama said Wednesday he is confident Democrats and Republicans will be able to resolve their differences over tax cuts, though he said there would be some "lingering politics" that have to be dealt with.
Forty-two Senate Republicans signed a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., saying they intend to block action on all Democratic-backed legislation until the Senate votes on extending the Bush tax cuts, as well as a budget bill needed to keep funding the government into next year.
The strategy would further doom already dismal prospects for Democratic attempts to end the Pentagon's practice of discharging openly gay members of the military service and give legal status to young illegal immigrants who join the military or attend college.
Republicans have little incentive to make major concessions in December, considering their power on Capitol Hill will greatly increase in January. Democrats still control both chambers until the end of the year, but they need Republican votes in the Senate to pass a tax bill.
"Congress should vote immediately to cut spending and stop all the tax hikes," Boehner said. "If the lame-duck Congress is unwilling to cut spending and permanently stop all the tax hikes, the new House majority will act in January."

Unofficial website about Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto
Canada Uses Technology to Boost Outreach
The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto certainly utilizes many forms of available public media in order to connect with its parishioners and provide them with new updates on church events, religious services, and to be able to answer a variety of other questions easily and instantly. Strong organization and leadership is reflected in online outreaches for youth, missionaries, and members of the congregation who want to participate in church related camps or gain a more in-depth spiritual education.
The church organization in Toronto is clearly a prominent link between Greek Orthodox members in Canada and in Europe, and provides religious services in translated form to Canadians to enjoy and participate in at their leisure, regardless of language proficiency or familiarity with the typical Greek traditions of the church.
Utilizing assistance from the Greek Radio Network to provide daily broadcasts to Canadian members (and any church member globally who has access to the internet), the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto is able to share wisdom from His Eminence Metropolitan Archbishop Sotirios. Additionally, unification is encouraged in times of need through the use of technology. Church leaders are able to share news of the deaths of passing clergy or parishioners, which adds to the sense of connectedness within the church regardless of member location.
Indeed, with such a vast congregation to keep track of, the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto is able to use technology to share the progress of individuals, groups, and major church endeavors. Such an undertaking included a beautiful Dome Raising Ceremony at St. Panteleimon in Markham, Ontario in 2004. Photos released to the church as a whole were instantly available at a time when few churches in the world even considered using technology to expand their reach and influence.
Confidence is bolstered and proud moments are shared with members when individuals or groups make headlines within or outside of the church. A local township newspaper covered such a moment when young students of the Greek Orthodox church had the opportunity to share their culture and history surrounding the Olympic tradition with a local athlete with aspirations to rank well internationally.
Excited students were able to celebrate along with other parishioners upon their graduation from the Toronto Orthodox Theological Academy in 2004. Church administrators ensured that speeches and photos would be available to all online and preserved for posterity. By these means, family across the world could express congratulations and take part in the festivities.
Gradually, as the church found itself spreading out and taking in members from all different walks of life, it could no longer be expected that Greek was a sufficient means of communication. With new options of communication, special, sacred hymns for feast days that were found on the Orthodox Liturgical Calendar were made widely available in English so that church members without any formal education in Greek would be able to easily participate in meetings, services, celebrations and in general church culture.
A particularly sentimental and sweet part of this new media outreach is the newfound possibility of people who find themselves homebound due to age, disease, or circumstance can participate in their favorite religious services even if they can not enjoy the immediate company of other worshipers.
As time progressed, the church made available a directory for the entire parish, as well as a guide for Metropolis programs. Gone are the days of having to physically go to the church to get information (assuming someone is available to greet you and is not busy with other church matters). With the availability of this information platform, many members of the clergy are relieved from additional clerical duties and can focus better on the spiritual needs of the parishioners.
As mentioned earlier, the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto wants to provide a place where many could be given voice. The youth have ample opportunities to actively participate in church affairs and share their views and triumphs in learning. The Youth Department supplies their own general education articles to provide information for masses on many topics, such as Holy Week. More information is readily supplied through the church newspaper that is also made available in both English and Greek.
Just like other churches, the Greek Orthodox Metropolis relies on the support of various sub organizations, such as the Ladies of Philoptochos, which is a group of special membership who tend to religious work across all of Canada. With the aid of new technology, these groups are able to share valuable information to members and celebrate with the whole church their unique contributions and accomplishments. A unified church accomplishment in 2004 was the culmination of great missionary work in Canada, and even internationally. The Metropolis Missions Board supplied the church with progress updates and requests in order to carry out their efforts and help share their beliefs with all who were willing to listen. The church was able to send a full mission team to Guatemala to share the gospel of Orthodox Christianity and to make a significant impact at an Orthodox-run orphanage.
There was great necessity of spiritual and mental strength both in preparing for and carrying out the plan of the missionary effort. Volunteers assisted greatly in the preparation of classes within the orphanage school, and in a special youth outreach program. With over 150 resident children in the orphanage, there was a great deal to do every day and many spirits to be lifted.
And back at home in Canada, (and across the world really), anyone who seeks more information on the particular beliefs of the Greek Orthodox faith are able to get their questions answered at their convenience via an entire dedicated Q&A section created by clergy who recognize the need to make principles of faith accessible to everyone, and understand that interest and subsequent conversion could begin with a single click of the mouse. Any person who is learning about their Greek heritage could learn much from the website of the Metropolis, even if they do not share the faith of their ancestors. Other Canadian organizations have a great example of outreach, efficacy and unity as expressed through the utilization of technology by the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto.

Can't scroll PDF inside an iframe on an iPhone/iPad
As well-designed iPhones and iPads are, even they can still have the occasional bug. I came across an iPhone/iPad bug that had to do with viewing a PDF inside an iframe. It didn't seem to matter if viewing the PDF on Safari or an other mobile browser. The PDF would load into an iframe, however it would not be scrollable. I came across this bug while working with a client. The easiest way around this issue is to link to the PDF directly and not use an iframe. There will be cases where using a direct download link isn't workable. I tried various solutions like using an object tag and adding some responsive css with no success. The solution I found was to use Google's PDF Viewer. I was able to keep the PDF in an iframe and have it scrollable on an iPhone/iPad. Google's PDF Viewer uses the Google Docs rendering engine. To add the Google PDF Viewer to your code, add this to the iframe tag in the 'src' attribute: 'http://docs.google.com/gview?url=' + 'insert link to PDF'. I hope this can help others who've encountered the same problem.

What are the suitable Heraldry Plates/Crests for Acrobats? As you know there are both Stats-based Heraldry and Skills-based Heraldry. I would not be talking about ALL the plates available, but just what I consider is good for Acrobats, and some other possible alternatives.
Note: I do not have the names of all the Heraldry Plates from DN SEA. I will be using my own translation from the CN/TW servers. Nonetheless, I will explain what the plate does, so you will roughly get the idea which Heraldry Plate it is.
Firstly, let's talk about Stats-based Heraldry. The most important few plates would be
- Fatal – Increases your Critical Chance by a certain amount. I believe all attack classes will use this plate as one of their 8 choices. Critical ignores defense, so that is what makes Critical so important. Being an Agility class, this Heraldry amplifies the Critical stat by a larger amount compared to other classes.
- Physical Attack – There is only Physical Attack skills for Acrobat, and hence Magic Attack Heraldry is useless. This amplifies your Physical Attack stat by a huge margin.
- HP – Increases your HP by a certain amount. Acrobat has low HP, and hence HP is very important. When you are using HP/Vitality equips, this plate will increase your HP by a lot more.
- Wind – Increases your Agility Stat by a certain amount. Acrobats' primary stat is Agility. Using this will increase your critical and physical attack by a good margin.
- Vibrancy – Increases MP regeneration. There are times when I often run out of MP after spamming my skills through dungeons. This plate helps me to continue attacking without worrying.
- Final Attack – Increases the damage of all your combo hits by a certain amount. How does this Final Attack works? It increases the damage of your "Hits". Which means if a skill generates a 60 combo upon one cast, this plate will increase the damage of the skill by 60 X (A), when A is the stated amount on the plate.
- Bear – Increases Strength Stat by a certain amount. Strength also increases your Physical Attack, but not as great as Agility. Furthermore, Strength is not your main stat, and hence this plate is not as important.
- Vitality – Increases your Vitality Stat by a certain amount. This would increase a little of your HP and Defense, UNLESS you are using equipment that boost Vitality by a huge margin. Then, this plate will increase your HP by a huge margin.
- Undaunting – Increases your Paralyze Resistance Stat by a certain amount. This reduces the chance of you getting hit to a state in which you won't be able to move for a slight duration
- Cyclone Kick – Pick the damage increase choice in the Heraldry Production.
- Chain Tumble – Arguably, a must have for Acrobats. Reduces the cooldown of Chain Tumble such that it can be frequently used together with Tumble. Pick the cooldown reduction choice in the Heraldry Production.
- Spiral Vortex – Arguably, a must have for Acrobats. Speeds up the casting of this skill and makes it an even better DPS skill. Less likely to get interrupted when casting. Pick the cast time reduction choice in the Heraldry Production.
- Eagle's Descent – As this is a good damage skill, this Heraldry is viable too. Pick the damage increase choice in the Heraldry Production.
- Twin Shot – Superb add-on to your short cooldown DPS skill. Pick the damage increase choice in the Heraldry Production.
- Spiral Edge – Pick the cooldown reduction choice in the Heraldry Production.
- Spirit Excellation – Pick the cooldown reduction choice in the Heraldry Production.

If it's impossible to boost the final attack up to at least 600 then no point wearing final attack plate…a wind walker will choose spiral kick -cool down time as one of the skill plate, while tempest choose kick and shoot damage plate
i believe enhancement heraldry will use an enhancement slot and not a skill slot, thus it is alright to get the heraldry since the user can still put spiral kick in
Nice. Thanks..
i think multi shot would be great too w/ 20% of dmg increase 😀
thnx though these would be really helpful

Tuesday's statement from the Federal Reserve is another in a series of very significant communications. At the extreme, it could mean the Fed is done cutting rates, barring any more massive credit-market upheavals.
A more moderate interpretation is that the Fed is back to balancing the risks between inflation and weak economic growth. Let me explain.
Fed policy during the credit crunch can be divided into the following segments:
- Before the SIVs hit the fan, the Fed was pretty much in neutral at 5.25.
- When credit markets tanked in August, the Fed used a gradual approach to cutting rates, balancing its dual mandate to keep inflation low and employment high. That led it back and forth between cutting, stopping and cutting. The cuts were mostly small and reluctant.
- In January, when markets went totally haywire and the job market weakened noticeably, the Fed stopped balancing risks and prioritized them. Growth and the credit problem took first place. Inflation was demoted. Cuts were done with a cleaver, in big increments.
Now, a big fat paragraph on inflation smack in the middle of the fed policy statement says, "Inflation has been elevated, and some indicators of inflation expectations have risen." And two voting members dissented.
So inflation just got promoted. The Fed might be back to balancing risks again.
Like I said, at the extreme, the Fed could be done cutting for a while. A more moderate approach would suggest cuts in quarter-point increments, not 50s or 75s.
All bets would be off if there was another Bear Stearns-like flare-up in the banking system. But it's clear: the Fed from now on would like to do less rate cutting. Maybe a whole lot less.

Aarushi murder takes a toll on kids
The brutal murder of teenager Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic help has taken a toll on the city's children - they are now wary of servants and some are even scared of their own parents!delhi Updated: Jun 19, 2008 11:43 IST
The brutal murder of teenager Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic help has taken a toll on the city's children - they are now wary of servants and some are even scared of their own parents!
Many student help lines have been ringing continuously ever since Aarushi's dentist father Rajesh Talwar was arrested for her murder. And schools, set to open after summer vacations, are now gearing up to discuss the issue with their students and provide counselling wherever necessary.
The Delhi Public School (DPS) in Noida, where 14-year-old Aarushi studied, plans to hold a prayer meeting apart from counseling sessions.
"We will have discussions and prayers meetings with the students once the school reopens. We have our team of counselors and we are all geared up to tackle the issue," Nina Sehgal, principal of DPS (Noida), told IANS.
Psychologist Aruna Broota said children have indeed been very scared ever since the murders took place.
"They tell me that they don't want to sleep with their parents any more. Some who don't have issues with their parents want the servants out, especially male," revealed Broota, who said she had talked to children aged 6-10 years.
DPS (Noida) apart, many other schools also admit that kids are stressed and will need emotional help.
"Children are stressed and insecure and we will definitely organise counseling sessions for them," said Anuradha Sharma, principal of Ryan International School (Noida).
But Asha Prabhakar, vice principal of Bal Bharti Public School, said it was better not to talk about the issue as the case was yet unsolved.
"We have our own team of counselors to tackle the issue and help both children and parents. But the case remains unsolved and nothing has been established. So, we have decided not to remind students about it and not to talk to them about it," she said.
Said Ashna Sirohi, Aarushi's friend and classmate: "There should be a discussion between students and counselors regarding the issue. People have assassinated her character and it's high time that things should get cleared."
Aarushi was found dead in her Jalvayu Vihar apartment in suburban Noida May 16. The Noida police initially named the Talwar's servant Hemraj as the prime suspect but retracted after his body was found on the terrace of the house the next day.
Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar was arrested May 23 and police said he killed his daughter in a fit of rage as he objected to her closeness with Hemraj.
A second arrest in the case was made June 13 when the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) held Talwar's compounder Krishna. On Tuesday, the agency claimed Krishna "confessed to his involvement in the crime", but it has not yet been able to establish the motive.
The case that has turned murkier with every passing day has led to children turning to student help lines for comfort.
"Students as well as parents are very scared after the Aarushi case and I have received numerous calls regarding that. I have conducted several workshops during summer where I've discussed the issue with students, teachers and parents," said Geetanjali Kumar, a helplline counselor and a guidance counselor at Hansraj Model School.
"Children are very stressed but the case has somehow helped them in maturing and understanding their vulnerability. I have also received a few calls on the help line where children have revealed that they are scared of their parents," she added.

Terry Worden's perception about homelessness got shifted in a hurry. He helped out with a Sierra Roots emergency shelter this past winter, and was so inspired he went home and wrote a song, called "You Can See the People."
He didn't use to "see the people." He's been successful in his life and career. For years and years and years, he passed by homeless people, sometimes stopping and giving them $5, and other times wishing they were not there.
When he saw the common humanity working at the emergency shelter, with his heart in the place of wanting to give to the greater good, a song was born.
An excerpt of his lyrics:
"You can see the people,
Living on the Street.
Turn a Blind Eye,
Walk on By.
You can see the people,
Sleeping on the park bench.
All around town,
They can be found.
What's a soul to do?
Just love them!"
You can listen to his story on KVMR Storycatchers!

A website is going to be a common way for you personally to interact with site visitors, buyers and any person who's involved with your area. A blog site sets you up as an professional and permits you to get suggestions from your men and women which you desire to get your services or products.
When executing affiliate internet marketing you instantly consider incorporating a lot of banners for your website but truly it is best to attempt to refrain from performing that. In case you appear to have plenty of banners stuffed into your site it seems fairly unsightly and can make individuals not thinking about going to your internet site once more.
Spot key phrases in site information. By carrying out this, the various search engines will acknowledge that your website is almost certainly associated to specific key phrases and rank the internet site accordingly. But consider care to accomplish this naturally; abnormal key phrase stuffing appears unnatural and unreadable to some. Just utilize the keyword phrases in the conversational way.
Be straightforward about that is inside your affiliate system. In case the readers suspect some thing amiss, they could just bypass you and go immediately to that vendor's web site. Performing which means that you won't get paid to get a sale. You'll want to avert that. Construct a loyal fan base by way of believe in and honesty.
Produce a exceptional world wide web web page for every affiliate product or service. Create related and valuable facts with regards to the merchandise to your guests to read through. In the event you emphasis a webpage on the single product or service, you may target a particular audience that is definitely previously thinking about the topic. Additionally, it make monitoring easier.
Preserve internet affiliate marketing internet sites organized by tagging every one of the posts. Tags assist site visitors come across the material vital that you them. Additionally, it aids search engines like google comprehend which search phrases are appropriate for the web site. Make the tags as descriptive as is possible to be able to create visitors towards the web site and raise income.
Gaining believe in is a vital element to contemplate for profitable affiliate marketing online. One particular technique to foster believe in is always to present a passion for the solution. The a lot more character and pleasure you display, the simpler it'll be to construct a trusted following. Developing one thing of the connection along with your site visitors now will only improve your hyperlink prospective later on.
When deciding on an affiliate marketing online system, learn how the business tracks orders which can be not manufactured on their internet site. When you direct orders to your firm that get produced by mobile phone or by mail, and people orders will not be linked back for your affiliate ID, you might eliminate out on important portions of the commission.
When making an affiliate marketing online system for the items, motivate deep linking. You need hyperlinks in your affiliate's pages to go immediately to your item webpage for that item they are recommending. The much more clicks it requires the reader to achieve the item, the significantly less most likely it can be they will convert.
Be wary of affiliate marketers that don't supply real-time buyer monitoring solutions. An affiliate that are unable to display a webmaster the site visitors flowing from her or his web site to your affiliate's internet site is probably an affiliate seeking to cheat the webmaster. Affiliates that depend solely on testimonials on previous effectiveness are even worse – how an affiliate applied to complete small business has absolutely nothing to accomplish with how they do organization now!
Seem for sites with great product sales. If their price of purchasers is under a single %, you could possibly desire to reconsider functioning with them. You receive paid if individuals get, and if individuals are not acquiring in the site, it's going to not matter the number of consumers you send them. This ratio is a crucial a single to contemplate when trying to find affiliates.
