The Gods of Guilt
The Gods of Guilt
Little Brown and Company, Hardcover, 9780316069519, 387pp.
Publication Date: December 2, 2013
Defense attorney Mickey Haller returns with a haunting case in the gripping new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.
Mickey Haller gets the text, "Call me ASAP - 187," and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game.
When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger.
Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why "Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense" (Los Angeles Times).
"Haller is the kind of slick, cynical showman who can't resist making high drama out of every legal procedure....There's always something deadly serious behind Connelly's entertaining courtroom high jinks."
-New York Times Book Review
"Connelly knows when to put his foot on the gas and when to take it off. Once he has you on board, turning the pages, you won't want to climb off."
-Boston Globe
"Connelly continues his streak of telling stellar crime stories."
-Associated Press
"Connelly's work has it all---sharply drawn, engaging characters, snappy dialogue, and a plot that moves like a shot of Red Bull."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Michael Connelly may be the best thriller writer we have."
-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Connelly excels....the consistency of his excellence is remarkable."
-Los Angeles Times
"Any new book by Michael Connelly is a cause for celebration....Connelly is one of the best crime story writers on the scene today. Each new novel refines his talent and makes its story one to be remembered."
-Huffington Post

Scottish parents could benefit from a European-style system of childcare subsidies if Scotland gets independence, the First Minister, Alex Salmond, said yesterday.
He claimed the "transformational" measure was one of the reasons to vote to leave the UK in next year's referendum, describing it as "part of 'why' of independence". He made the policy commitment at the Scottish National Party's conference in Inverness. The SNP leader said only a limited amount could be achieved under devolution. "So let us consider what more we could achieve in an independent Scotland."

Demi Moore Looks Autumnal
Demi Moore arrived at LAX yesterday and looking very much in the fall spirit with this brown/plaid ensemble (plus hat) which I gotta say, I kinda dig.
The 53 year old always looks good, but sometimes I question her capability to not wear something that makes her look like a weird drunk hipster. Not that this outfit is an exception- but for some reason I love the big hat, polka dot scarf and giant, basement-from-the-70's sweater combo. Hell, at least she'll be warm, wherever she's going.
What do you think of her LAX outfit?

The psychological concept of the uncanny as something that is strangely familiar, rather than just mysterious,[1] was perhaps first fixed by Sigmund Freud in his essay Das Unheimliche.[2][3]
Because the uncanny is familiar, yet incongruous, it has been seen as creating cognitive dissonance within the experiencing subject, due to the paradoxical nature of being simultaneously attracted to yet repulsed by an object. This cognitive dissonance often leads to an outright rejection of the object, as one would rather reject than rationalize, as in the uncanny valley effect.
German idealism[edit]
Schelling raised the question of the uncanny in his late Philosophie der Mythologie of 1835, postulating that the Homeric clarity was built upon a prior repression of the uncanny.[4]
In The Will to Power manuscript Nietzsche refers to nihilism as "the uncanniest of all guests" and, earlier, in On the Genealogy of Morals he claims it is the "will to truth" that has destroyed the metaphysics that underpins the values of Western culture. Hence, he coins the phrase "European nihilism" to describe the condition that afflicts those Enlightenment ideals that seemingly hold strong values yet undermine themselves.
Ernst Jentsch[edit]
Uncanniness was first explored psychologically by Ernst Jentsch in a 1906 essay, On the Psychology of the Uncanny. Jentsch defines the Uncanny as: being a product of "intellectual uncertainty; so that the uncanny would always, as it were, be something one does not know one's way about in. The better oriented in his environment a person is, the less readily will he get the impression of something uncanny in regard to the objects and events in it."[3] He expands upon its use in fiction:
In telling a story one of the most successful devices for easily creating uncanny effects is to leave the reader in uncertainty whether a particular figure in the story is a human being or an automaton and to do it in such a way that his attention is not focused directly upon his uncertainty, so that he may not be led to go into the matter and clear it up immediately.[3]
Jentsch identifies German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann as a writer who utilizes uncanny effects in his work, focusing specifically on Hoffmann's story "The Sandman" ("Der Sandmann"), which features a lifelike doll, Olympia.
Sigmund Freud[edit]
The concept of the Uncanny was later elaborated on and developed by Sigmund Freud in his 1919 essay The Uncanny, which also draws on the work of Hoffmann (whom Freud refers to as the "unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature"). However, he criticizes Jentsch's belief that Olympia is the central uncanny element in the story (The Sandman):
I cannot think — and I hope most readers of the story will agree with me — that the theme of the doll Olympia, who is to all appearances a living being, is by any means the only, or indeed the most important, element that must be held responsible for the quite unparalleled atmosphere of uncanniness evoked by the story.[3]
Instead, Freud draws on a wholly different element of the story, namely, "the idea of being robbed of one's eyes," as the "more striking instance of uncanniness" in the tale.
Freud goes on, for the remainder of the essay, to identify uncanny effects that result from instances of "repetition of the same thing," linking the concept to that of the repetition compulsion.[5] He includes incidents wherein one becomes lost and accidentally retraces one's steps, and instances wherein random numbers recur, seemingly meaningfully (here Freud may be said to be prefiguring the concept that Jung would later refer to as synchronicity). He also discusses the uncanny nature of Otto Rank's concept of the "double."
Freud specifically relates an aspect of the Uncanny derived from German etymology. By contrasting the German adjective unheimlich with its base word heimlich ("concealed, hidden, in secret"), he proposes that social taboo often yields an aura not only of pious reverence but even more so of horror and even disgust, as the taboo state of an item gives rise to the commonplace assumption that that which is hidden from public eye (cf. the eye or sight metaphor) must be a dangerous threat and even an abomination - especially if the concealed item is obviously or presumingly sexual in nature. Basically, the Uncanny is what unconsciously reminds us of our own Id, our forbidden and thus repressed impulses – especially when placed in a context of uncertainty that can remind one of infantile beliefs in the omnipotence of thought.[6] Such uncanny elements are perceived as threatening by our super-ego ridden with oedipal guilt as it fears symbolic castration by punishment for deviating from societal norms. Thus, the items and individuals that we project our own repressed impulses upon become a most uncanny threat to us, uncanny monsters and freaks akin to fairy-tale folk-devils, and subsequently often become scapegoats we blame for all sorts of perceived miseries, calamities, and maladies.
What interests us most in this long extract is to find that among its different shades of meaning the word heimlich exhibits one which is identical with its opposite, unheimlich. What is heimlich thus comes to be unheimlich. [...] In general we are reminded that the word heimlich is not unambiguous, but belongs to two sets of ideas, which, without being contradictory, are yet very different: on the one hand it means what is familiar and agreeable, and on the other, what is concealed and kept out of sight. Unheimlich is customarily used, we are told, as the contrary only of the first signification of heimlich, and not of the second. [...] On the other hand, we notice that Schelling says something which throws quite a new light on the concept of the Unheimlich, for which we were certainly not prepared. According to him, everything is unheimlich that ought to have remained secret and hidden but has come to light.
A study of dreams, phantasies and myths has taught us that anxiety about one's eyes, the fear of going blind [as used as a central theme in The Sandmann], is often enough a substitute for the dread of being castrated. The self-blinding of the mythical criminal, Oedipus, was simply a mitigated form of the punishment of castration — the only punishment that was adequate for him by the lex talionis. [...] All further doubts are removed when we learn the details of their 'castration complex' from the analysis of neurotic patients, and realize its immense importance in their mental life.[3]
After Freud, Jacques Lacan, in his seminar 1962–1963 "L'angoisse" ("Anxiety"), utilized the Unheimlich "via regia" to enter into the territory of Angst.[7] Lacan showed in a very clear manner how, the same image which seduces the subject trapping him in the narcissistic impasse, may suddenly, by a contingency, show that it is dependent on something, some hidden object, and so the subject may grasp at the same time that he is not autonomous (5 December 1962). For example, and paradigm, Guy de Maupassant, in his story "Le Horla", describes a man who suddenly may see his own back in the mirror. His back is there, but it is deprived of the gaze of the subject. It appears as a strange object, until he feels it is his own. There is no cognitive dissonance here, we rather cross all possible cognition, to find ourselves in the field where we do not know how to distinguish bad and good, pleasure from displeasure. And this is the signal of anxiety: the signal of the real, as irreducible to any signifier.
Hitchcock was the master in the art of conducing art into the world of Unheimlich.[8] He used simple, everyday objects who may suddenly lose their familiar side, and become the messenger of beyond narcissism.[9]
Related theories[edit]
This concept is closely related to Julia Kristeva's concept of abjection where one reacts adversely to that which has been forcefully cast out of the symbolic order. Abjection can be uncanny in that the observer can recognize something within the abject, possibly of what it was before it was 'cast out', yet be repulsed by what it is that caused it to be cast out to begin with. Kristeva lays special emphasis on the uncanny return of the past abject with relation to the 'uncanny stranger'.[10]
Sadeq Rahimi has noted a common relationship between the uncanny and direct or metaphorical visual references, which he explains in terms of basic processes of ego development, specifically as developed by Jacques Lacan's theory of the mirror stage. Rahimi presents a wide range of evidence from various contexts to demonstrate how uncanny experiences are typically associated with themes and metaphors of vision, blindness, mirrors and other optical tropes. He also presents historical evidence showing strong presence of ocular and specular themes and associations in the literary and psychological tradition out of which the notion of 'the uncanny' emerged. According to Rahimi, instances of the uncanny like doppelgangers, ghosts, Déjà vu, alter egos, self-alienations and split personhoods, phantoms, twins, living dolls, etc. share two important features: that they are closely tied with visual tropes, and that they are variations on the theme of doubling of the ego.[11]
Roboticist Masahiro Mori's "uncanny valley" hypothesis (describing human reactions to human-like robots) describes the gap between familiar living people and their also familiar inanimate representations, such as statues or pictures. The things in the valley are between these two poles of common phenomena. The hypothesis is deeply indebted to Jentsch and Freud's observations.
David Herrera has posited the theory that xenophobia and racism stem from a phenomenon closely related to the unconscious perception of the uncanny valley.[citation needed]
Canny is from the Anglo-Saxon root ken: "knowledge, understanding, or cognizance; mental perception: an idea beyond one's ken."[12] Thus the uncanny is something outside one's familiar knowledge or perceptions.

Jurrasic Boykin???
Dern!!!! Them Yeller eyes too!!!
I'm gonna have nightmares.
That is a very nice looking Boykin! I've observed that spaniel enthusiasts actually prefer to see a dog that fades w/ the wind a little & uses his nose to make the retrieve. I even think it is probably the more effective strategy for retrieving on land but for water retrieving, the dog that trusts his eyes will be much more efficient.
No not really.. A dog trusting their nose on a retrieve in a test, in route to the bird will get them into trouble just like a retriever. Drag back, dropped birds, foot scent from earlier dogs working, etc will hinder the dog marking a bird and making a clean retrieve. That's in retriever tests.
I plan on helping the owner getting Hanks AKC master hunter and then the spaniel stuff will be a piece of cake.. I've seen a spaniel master test and,,, ahem... Hank when I'm done with him could do it with 1 eye closed with a head cold...
I agree but those elements aren't relevant in spaniel games or hunting ( drag back, etc.) where quite often a shot bird hits the ground & runs off. In those cases, a dog that runs straight to the fall but misses by just a few feet on the upwind side can give the cripple time to escape while a dog that fades a little has the best opportunity to trail it. That kind of performance is highly regarded in a field trial & the dog that has the opportunity to pull it off moves up in the scoring.
Spaniel hunt tests are very elementary, at least the retrieving series but that has more to do w/ the "political" nature of having several "show breed" clubs (clumbers, Sussex, American cockers, etc.) having veto power over any attempt to make them more meaningful than it does with the actual abilities of the better breeds (Springers, English cockers, & Boykins) that have been bred for hunting.
In spaniel trials it's a 15-40 yard mark. I think Hank will be able to handle that. If the bird is a cripple or is missed by the shooters, the gunners take themselves out of the game and new guns continue the trial. No misses and no cripples in spaniel trials. The blinds are a joke..
Like I said,,, He'll do AKC hunt tests first and the spaniel tests later.
Not true, Spaniel gunners are invited to shoot trials based on their reputation and often come from out of state to gun a trial. They don't shoot 15 yard marks, 40 yds is about the minimum to provide the dog the opportunity to demonstrate retrieving ability but 60 is better. If a gunner misses 2 birds in a row, etiquette demands he excuse himself but because of the dynamic nature of the trials ( 2 dogs, handlers,judges & basket carriers in the field, the gallery walking along behind & a bird planter in front) often a gunner can't take the shot so he "passes" the bird off to his teammate which can provide 100+ yd retrieves.
Because the gunners are trying to ride the birds out far enough to challenge the dogs, some are crippled. Spaniels are sent on pretty much any bird that goes down & the performance is judged subjectively. If you've got a good dog, you relish those opportunities to move up in the scoring.
Blinds are a joke, probably less than 30 percent of trial dogs can even be said to handle (my unscientific estimate). Many trainers have the "bird dog" philosophy that the control necessary to run effective blinds will inhibit the dogs hunting style. Only hunt tests evaluate that skill in spaniels & the Master test requirements are embarrassingly easy for reasons I mentioned earlier.
I have a breed in that same situation. My weimaraner has her JH for pointing hunt tests and is almost finished with her JHR for retriever hunt tests. Hope this helps.

Layered Tee - Tutorial Tuesday
My girl, Joy, came up with an amazing project last week that really got my wheels turning. You know when you see something and it inspires you to want to do 25 other things with the idea? Yep, it was like that. Hop on over to see her Recycled T-Shirt Scarf and you'll know where I'm going with this.
See, Joy and I have a similar problem. All our shirts grow holes near the bottom, in the tummy area. We've come up with many ideas as to why this happens (leaning against the counter to wash dishes might be the culprit). What in the world do you do with these shirts with all the tiny holes? Well, you can turn them into a scarf like she did, or you can just cut out the offending parts and layer it!
2 t-shirts
Begin with two t-shirts, I chose the outer shirt one size larger.
Free hand a leafy sort of design (or hearts, or stars, or smiley faces...) on a sheet of computer paper. Cut out the design like this:
Lay your stencil onto the outer t-shirt and rub the chalk over the open spaces - Yes, I stole this sidewalk chalk from my poor children.
See the design left behind? Actually, looking at this gives me an idea for another project...hmmmm, filing that away for another Tuesday...
Cut out the design with your scissors (*tip: it's easier to do this by cutting a snip out of the center of the leaf first, then work your way out to the edges.)
Okay, this is where brilliance comes in! Oh, that Joy is so amazingly brilliant! Using a q-tip, dab bleach along the edges of the cut out leaves. (Line the shirt with a newspaper to protect the back first)
You end up with these aged-looking edges that make my heart sing!!! (La, la, la!) Now, quit singing and rinse her off and dry her a bit before moving on to the next step.
Layer the two shirts together and sew the leaves around the edges. Joy did this by hand with embroidery thread, but I'm a little impatient, and whipped out the machine instead. Some contrasting hot pink thread with the gray and orange was just the ticket!
Now, stand around a take pictures of yourself in your cute new Layered T!
Imagine the color combos! The designs! The possibilities!
Now, head on over to Kimba's to see lots of other great ideas for DIY day:
Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway!
62 comments :
You have that too! I mean the holes in the tummy area. I have ruined some fabulous shirts that way and right on top of your navel is not a good place to put a patch. But your idea might work. Gonna take a second look at my pile of throw-away shirts if I can rescue any of them.
Thanks so much!LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I know what my housework avoidance project for tomorrow is :) But I am wondering if I could get away with just putting some contrasting stitches on the top layer instead of sewing them together...that way I could use the same undershirt and switch out the top one? Lord knows I have enough short sleeve shirts that have been ruined!! Thanks soo much for the inspiration.
You can also sew your pattern first and then cut out the shapes. I find this easier in order to keep the fabric straight. Also, if you don't have another whole shirt to use for underneath you can just cut out a piece of fabric to go under your cut-outs. I did something similar with one of my daughter's shirts using the sleeve from a different shirt to go underneath.How creative and stylish! I love your leaves design. My niece is a big fan of layered tees. I'm going to make one for her. Thanks so much for the tutorial! I've done cool craft projects and posted on www.makemania.com Take a look at mine and feel free to promote awesome projects fm your blog!
ReplyDelete- AnonymousSeptember 14, 2011 at 11:09 AM
I LOVE this idea!! While I don't have problems with holey tees, I DO have tees that I love that I have had to retire because of a random stain. This is a PERFECT way to upcycle those shirts! The only difference I will be doing is NOT sewing the shirts together...that way I can enjoy the outer shirt with many different color pairings.
ReplyDelete I thought I was the only one who got those little holes around the belly. For the longest time I thought it was from my cat who liked to sleep on my lap/kneed my belly. I don't tend to do a lot of dishes or wear belts. I'm thinking now that maybe it is from the pointy corner by the top button/snap of my jeans.
Thanks for the great idea!I'm thrilled to find this post with instructions! I was at a craft fair yesterday and saw a booth with this type of t shirt. The designs were amazing but what I really want is my company logo so will have to do it myself. Glad you said your friend sewed hers by hand because I don't own a machine. Yay! Thank You so much!

On the Water
While there are no exact numbers, it is estimated that thousands of dogs drown each year. Yes, even dogs that are good swimmers can drown. Dogs' proficiency at swimming diminishes dramatically at night and with age.
Dog life jackets and ramps are great for the safety of your pet while boating, swimming, kayaking or other forms of pet recreation. Dog safety jackets provide the buoyancy for your pet to stay afloat and not tire easily from paddling.
These products help ensure your loved one is safe but just as you would a child, parents need to keep a close eye on their pets when on the water.

Icons Among Us: Room 222
It is the most famous classroom of all. Or was it?
| From Gallery | By Caleb DaniloffGet the Flash Player to see this media.
In the video above, Carl Phillips (GRS'93) reads from his recent collection at the fall 2009 Lowell Lecture. Watch the rest of the event. Pictured: Robert Pinsky (above, far right), a College of Arts & Sciences professor of English and three-time U.S. poet laureate, leads a Creative Writing Program poetry workshop in Room 222. Photo by Kalman Zabarsky
When I was in college, I had a terrific crush on the poet Anne Sexton, dead twenty years at the time. I was smitten by her confessional verse, the recordings of her voice inflating those tortured words.
Sexton's story of morphing from suburban housewife to Pulitzer Prize winner to asleep forever in the front seat of her car, the drunkenness, hospitalizations, affairs, family abuse, suicide, all throttled my imagination.
I moved on; she stayed fixed in time. But like a one-time high school flame friending me on Facebook, we reconnected a few weeks ago. At 236 Bay State Road, second floor, Room 222.
Room 222, or the Robert Lowell Seminar Room, is the central classroom for BU's venerable Creative Writing Program. Legend has it that Lowell, considered the father of confessional poetry, taught Sexton in this small room, along with Sylvia Plath and George Starbuck, in what is considered poetry's most famous class.
"There was a period when many people would have said Lowell was the major poet of the post–World War II era," says Bonnie Costello, a College of Arts & Sciences professor of English. "He had a major impact on the poets who came through Room 222. Sexton, Plath, W. D. Snodgrass, Starbuck — they had a lot in common. They all had breakdowns, were all in treatment. It's hard to know whether these people came to Lowell's class because they recognized themselves in his work or it was coincidence."
I met Robert Pinsky, a CAS professor of English and former U.S. poet laureate, in Room 222 to ask what the space "with a little glimpse of the Charles" means to him.
"Of all of the classrooms I've taught in — Harvard, Berkeley, University of Chicago, Stanford — this is my favorite," Pinsky says. "The legend of Lowell teaching Plath, Sexton, and Starbuck is only part of it. I like the echoes. And I like knowing that my colleagues Louise Glück, Leslie Epstein, Ha Jin, and Rosanna Warren are using this room, too. I like knowing it's ours."
In the early nineties, the room's legend was further juiced when the program produced future Pulitzer winner Jhumpa Lahiri (GRS'93, UNI'95,'97), National Book Award winner Ha Jin (GRS'94), and writers Peter Ho Davies (GRS'94) and Daphne Kalotay (GRS'94, UNI'98). Sue Miller (GRS'80) and Arthur Golden (GRS'88) helped pave the way in the previous decade. Poetry wasn't slouching, either, churning out Carl Phillips (GRS'93) and Erin Belieu (GRS'95), among others. Room 222 has taken on the quality of an organic museum, a vessel for the collective literary imagination.
But doubt has been cast on the facts of the creation myth. So I phoned longtime department administrator Harriet Lane (DGE'55, CAS'57, GRS'61), who retired last year after a fifty-year tenure. She said that other departments occupied the second floor when Lowell taught at BU, and that like other English professors, he was assigned random classrooms.
Pinsky thinks it's possible the room was informally commandeered. "I'd bet Lowell did teach a class here," he says. "It might have been some weird outrider that this was consigned as a space."
Starbuck went on to become director of the program, and his one-time colleague and successor, Leslie Epstein, supports 222's pedigree. "This was the room," he says. "That's what George told me, and as far I know, it's the truth." Then again, Epstein points out, more often than not the class met at the Ritz Lounge over drinks, parking their cars in the "loading zone," as Starbuck, who died in 1996, used to joke.
Regardless, the whiff of mystery feels appropriate. Art is about reconciling perception and reality, illuminating the truth rather than defining it. The lessons taught in 222 apply to itself.

Animal Photobombs
to hop in a picture right before it is taken
Here are some animal photobombs that are really hilarious and at the same time cute - some are maybe in another way. A few were edited but still funny.

Googly Eyes + Cacti
This past weekend I got together with my photographer friend Price Stone. He's very talented and does some really incredible portraits. Additionally, he's a great model. I've found that most photographers tend to be good models; they know how to move in front of a camera.
For these photos, I glued googly eyes to Price's face and wrapped him in textiles I designed at RISD Pre-college this past summer. I like the idea of photographing models with my textile designs. My original idea for this shoot was to dress and style Price to match one of my designs. This textile design is an abstracted composition of cacti and googly eyes, hence my inclusion of both of these items. The design of the print was also slightly influenced by the art of Yayoi Kusama. However I also added some other influences as the shoot progressed, such as other textiles, a googly-eyed doll head, a cow skull, and an array of flower headbands.
All of these textile were created with large-scale screen-printing techniques, in addition to some hand-painting. The textile at the top of the first photo was created with a hand drawing of hexagons, which I turned into a screen. Also I created some graphic line-work with a technique known as canning, where I used a hollowed-out can to squeegee ink onto my fabric.
These last photos have equal amounts of Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe influences. The cow skull is from an antique mall in Nashville. I had been wanting one for a long time, and when I finally found one, I jumped at the opportunity. It's a really cool prop to use for shoots like this.
Price is wearing MAC Cosmetics eyeliner and Lime Crime Lipstick in "Styletto."

The guy Dale doesn't know
Wanted RB Chrysler parts. 440.

Getting Better!!!
I have a set of 3751213 heads. I was told they are identical to 452 heads but were put into motorhomes. You would have to research to be sure, but I was told that from Eric at Muscle Motors. They were fresh, have the 2.08 valves and are just sitting in storage. I kept them for my Road Runner if I ever needed them but the Road Runner is gone and I will probably never use them. I also have a intake I believe it is a Edelbrock Performer but I would have to check, and I have a Edelbrock carb.This was all on a rebuilt 440 that came out of a 73 Charger. The idiot I bought the motor from pulled the intake to pull the motor, but he didn't bother to drain the antifreeze before doing this. I bought the engine thinking it was good but the number 8 cylinder sat full of water for a year, long story short this is all I have left. I think I also have the cam that I will throw in if I can find it. $400

Small storage vendors walk in the clouds, too
Zmanda and Moonwalk have built interfaces that allow customers to back up directly to Amazon's S3 service hoping to bring SaaS to smaller companies.

services, smaller storage software vendors are also looking for ways to tap into the trend toward SaaS cloud-type services.
EMC Corp., Symantec Corp., Dell Inc., IBM and Iron Mountain Inc. all have made moves toward building "cloud" infrastructures for backup services. But smaller (and younger) vendors Moonwalk Inc. and Zmanda Inc. have also gotten into the act by allowing their customers to back up to Amazon.com Inc.'s Simple Storage Service (S3) infrastructure through their software applications.
Zmanda added the interface into its open source backup application in January, and last week Australian archiving vendor Moonwalk followed with an API that allows customers to move data directly onto S3 servers.
Analysts and storage administrators said the move makes sense, and others will likely get into the act. Vice president for business development Michael Harvey said Moonwalk will create APIs for other clouds if there is enough demand. He said Moonwalk started with S3 because it is the best fit for its customers.
A simpler path to S3
One Moonwalk customer said he's eager to use it to tie into S3. Horace Greeley, systems integrator at the controller's office systems group at Stanford University, uses Moonwalk along with Syncsort Backup Express to move financial data from a storage area network (SAN) on campus to another off-site SAN through policies that migrate data as it ages. He said using S3 would eliminate the need to employ the SANs for archiving. Greeley said he will use the Moonwalk-S3 combo as he gets approval from Stanford's internal audit group.
"I'm planning on being an early adopter of that feature," he said. "Then I don't have to support two expensive pieces of hardware, and I have redundancy of data across time zones."
Greeley said the Moonwalk interface would make it safer and easier to take advantage of Amazon's service. "Another department on campus makes encrypted data backups locally across RAID stripes and sends those RAID stripes to S3," he said. "That seems to be a tremendous amount of work they don't need to do. By using Moonwalk to go to S3, I'm building on top of a program I already have in place. Moonwalk uses proprietary algorithms for security and data compression. If I lose a front-end server, I can go back into metadata in a migrated file and recreate all my data wherever I want to create it."
Opening the door for smaller services
S3 is having growing pains, and customers have suffered through some performance issues. But SaaS cloud-type services are all in the early stages, and one analyst said vendors building interfaces to S3 could lead to more services as the technology matures.
"I think the large backup SaaS vendors like EMC Mozy, Symantec Protection Network, Iron Mountain and so on will leverage their own IT infrastructure, not something like S3," said Forrester Research's Stephanie Balaouras. "But I think that service providers or even VARs that want to target very small businesses with an online backup service could leverage software [such as Zmanda and Moonwalk] and leverage the interface to S3. They would just have to sell the service and manage the software, and not worry about the deployment of a scalable infrastructure to support it."
Balaouras said these types of services could benefit the small businesses that Amazon targets with S3, but enterprises looking for backup services will probably stick with the major storage vendors.
"It will be appealing to some small businesses, and my bet is that it would be a very low-cost service," she said. "I don't think that medium and large businesses will really go for it because of concerns regarding data security and customer service. I think they'll still be more comfortable with the well-known system and technology vendors that have entered the space."
Moonwalk's Harvey said cloud computing might not benefit all applications, but he expects it to appeal to organizations looking for alternatives to tape for archiving. "Unstructured data doesn't live on APIs ready to go into cloud computing," he said. "It sits on file systems on servers. If the throughput and availability issues can be [worked out], I think we'll see this take off pretty quickly."

The currently featured book is: A Wolf at the Door and Other Retold Fairy Tales. Like Golden Age children's anthologies, this book for eight to 12 year olds contains both stories and poems on a fairytale theme. Unlike the Golden Age anthologies, illustrations are not its focus. It is, I think, the perfect book for self-reflection on what sort of person one is and wishes to be -- before the cataclysm of adolescences arrives. And the underlying lesson of compassion is a welcome revisit at any age.
Why? This book makes me think of James Hillman's books for adults, The Soul's Code and The Force of Character. This books honors the supporting actors in Life's Story. Or does it shift the reader's orientation away from the only important person ("Me! The Star of the Show") to consider the more complex and feeling side of characters who have only been defined two-dimensionally (in life and literature)? What happens to the Wolf? Suppose Cinderella wasn't a perfect size 3? And how about those cast-off dwarves?
An excerpt from an included poem by Neil Gaiman, Instructions:
Remember your name.
Do not lose hope - what you seek will be found.
Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped
to help you in their turn.
Trust dreams.
Trust your heart, and trust your story.
Coloring Fairies: Featuring the artwork of celebrated illustrator Niroot Puttapipat (PicturaTM)
Why? I was delighted to find this coloring book on Amazon. Niroot Puttapipat is by far my favorite living illustrator. His work comes to life for me and he always makes me smile. I have bought several books illustrated by Niroot at The Folio Society. One even sits on my fireplace mantel because the cover itself is so beautiful. Alas, these are collector's editions all, not only the limited editions, books that you sit beside your grandmother as you read them together, not books up close and personal. This is a low-cost coloring book, done in Niroot's trademark Golden Age style, warm and full of heart. It is a coloring book that teaches "seeing", as details and creatures appear as the lines are colored in. Amazon offers it as part of a set with Coloring Dragons and Coloring Medieval Times.Reviewing this gives me an opportunity to post some of Niroot's illustrations.
You can find more of his illustrations at his wordpress blog, Himmapaan and on my Niroot Puttapipat board.

Still unsure what my true condition\illness is. Started with chronic sinus infections (I had surgery for this but it may have caused another issue ENS, still have sinus infections but deeper)/ headach's every day/scalp tender to touch and "indented" on top (seriously) /memory issues(forgetful)/ disorented/ confusion/ low tolorance for any stress/ Extreme fatigue/mental exaustion/ weeping at inapproiate times/uncontrolled upsetting thoughts/ exaustion/ perfuse sweating (not age related)/ Hands numb when waking, lower back extreme pain waking in night/ not getting restful sleep/ legs to knees painful and stiff/ upper middle back pain and pressure between sholder blades/ cracking stiffness in neck and back somewhat releaved by anti-inflamitory meds. finally complete breakdown of physical mental strength, extreme fatigue, could not get out of bed even though I wasnted to, became dizzy to the point of passing out. At times this would come on without warning and I would pass out (sleep). No Depression meds helped, only anti anxity med took edge off. Any stress triggers eithor fatigue or if pushed to have to do mental work... think and concentrate..on something that I ABSOLUTLY HAVE TO DO (like fill out forms, or write even a simple letter) I go into a sortof manic stage where I can not sleep at all... cant shut my mind down, like everything that has bothered me, or trama in my life, all comes back at once. After a week or so it subsideds, and I am back to disorgnization, confustion, fatigue, crying, headachs, and preception of time. I no longer go out, I avoid friends and socializing (not at all my before self). even noise or types of distractions bother me now, I am easly agitated now. one of the most upsetting changes is, When I try to orgnaze things like keeping records or paperwork in order, I find later I have put these things in odd places with no order or reason, that is very scary to me. My doctor still believes this is Depression but now may be more bi-polar and had put me on medication for that, but side affect is i am more disorented. The onley thing that had a marked effect on me was when I became ill (could not catch my breath-shallow short breaths) and was treated with Prednisone, for the first time in almost 2 years I was almost normal, energy and thinking, and mood, I was motivated to get some things accomplished that I had let go for a long time. But I dont know why this had such an effect on me. Medication ended and back to same old. Why would Prednisone have this effect on depression?
May have chronic fatigue, but diognosed depression, only med that made positive affect-prednisone ?

Some of this sounds like menopause and the brain fog and anxiety that go with it. I am not a doctor but had the brain fog and anxiety during peripause and menopause. Talk to your OB/Gyn and let him/her know and see if they can coordinate with the doc giving the antidepression meds and/or the doc who put you on prednisone. Prednisone does temporarily give you a burst of energy, but, it also may have treated one of the underlying conditions, that is why I suggested the doc coordination. Even if you had a hysterectomy, the body can still go through menopause. Hope you feel better soon.
So sorry for u! I understand totally where u r coming from.Ive been dealing w/lots medical probs for last2years.All doctors drive me crazy bcuz they do not know what is wrong w/me either.I have been telling them for over a year that steroids helped me.I discovered it on accident too.They gave me some when i was sick w/bronchitis&my windpipe area was inflammed&disrupted my breathing.I felt so good after i got on those steroids!I forgot how it felt to feel&THINK like a normal human being w/o any pain!Dr finally put me on steroids again a couple of weeks ago.I can actually get out of bed¬ cry bcuz of pain!I can even stand&THINKto cook again for little while.Dr tells me that steroids have helped by decreasing the inflamation through out my body.They still do not know whats causing the inflamation,of course.But w/research ive done,i can confirm:Steroids DO help decrease inflamation in the body.The million$ question is:WHAT IS CAUSING THE INFLAMTION!Find that out&u r a winner!Hope this helps!Good Luck&GOD BLESS!
You sound like me in a lot of ways. I still am in the process of trying to get help for the things I was diagnosed with so far. As far as the areas of pain and muscle stiffness you are having, I have problems in the same ways and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I also have Osteoarthritis in my hip on both sides and I too suffer from Depression. I still have the numbness in my hands and sometimes my feet or other areas but I also was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic about 5 years ago and now I take insulin and oral medications for that. I strongly suggest that you don't give up and decide to live with the problems you have been having because in my case, there was something really wrong and it may be that you need to try going to another medical facility and even have some blood work done to see if that shows anything... which you may have already done.
Hi I went through 7 years of hunting answers, some doctors think it's all in your head and then you may just come across some wonderful Dr's that try to nut it out and find some solutions. I liked your comment, you can get to the stage where you wonder why keep fighting on, but HOPE is out there and if you can find some peace you can enjoy life some more. There are a lot of people out there with multiple problems and this web site helps them to find solutions too, thanks to all of us for being brave to talk and share.
Thanks heidihoe for your encouraging words.
I too am in complete disorientation these days. Diagnosed with RA and osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia depression and gyn problems. Started losing the ability to do the simplest thing. Know I can hardly fall asleep because of tingling sensantions. I too went back to almost normal when given prednisone. Doctors all give me differents meds and diagnosis
and I know Its not in my head. Side effects of meds have unfortunately gotten into my daily
routine of living as well as having to live with the pain of the disease. I hope you find some
solice that you are not alone and that frustration only makes our days that much harder for us but hopefully at some point the aggreviation and pain will let us get on with lives.
I heard the other day that you can take up to 10mg of prednisolone a day but beyond that ongoing will effect your bones later on.
damn sounds like you are having it rough..i have suffered with depression all my life and chronic pain ,and then opiate addiction for years ..i still function a little but only when i have too,otherwise i dont leave my house,even though im pretty miserable i still isolate..but anyway enough about me.i just wanted to tell you i will be praying for you and i hope things get better..just try to hang in there you will make it..
I can't really say much about prednisone because even high doses did nothing for me(I have fibro,osteo arth,celiac disease and now possible ra),but your symptoms are EXACTLY what I have dealt with. On a whim my neurologist(treating me for severe migraines,dizziness,memory loss,numbnes in hands)checked my b12 level-was extremely low-sent me to a gi doc to see why found out i had celiac disease and my small intestine was not absorbing anything-I thought it was crazy that all my symptoms could be because of that-but I started with b12 injections weekly until my levels were normal now i get them monthly. I then had to start a gluten(wheat) free diet and as my intestine healed many of my symtoms subsided-my memory and concentaration returned to normal-it was like coming out of the fog. No more profuse sweating,shortness of breath,i was able to handle stress better so i slept better,no more dizziness.
Dear Sandigiffen: May god and Spirit give you thier blessing as you are going through Hell. You don't say exactly where your pain is, but it sounds to Me like PMR or Polymyalgia Rheumatica... aching & stiffness , worse on arising in the morning , effects shoulders & upper arms , neck , hips , & thighs. I also get horrible hand and wrist pain You definately need to see a rheumatologist. From your description of your head pains , and that dent, I fear that You may have something called "Giant cell arteritis"! This disease goes hand in hand with PMR. On the good side, you and Prednisone get along well and that is a blessing as prednisone is the drug of choice for both diseases. Don't let anyone touch your sinuses [I also am constantly sneezing, runny nose, cough.etc.] hell Girl you and I got the same symptoms, and social problems. My neighbors aren't to swift...
not really sure this is just a thought if you have been to a good internal medicine doctor and you've tried all these other medications there must be something not right, or like me with Chronic pain you have not hit the right medication, I know I can understand just how you feel just like a totally different person, I want you to keep searching, you have it in you I have have some of the same worthless feelings and so much back pain that I didn't think I could live but I am writing to you now, I think it's so hard to have to be able to think and process things without so much effort but maybe this will help out there somewhere is someone with the exact or a variation of just how you feel just to know that you are not alone means the world I want you to be safe and to continue to hang in there, sometimes you probably feel like you are taking baby steps just to thrive, Please keep trying
You need to get a second opinion. I have chronic fatigue and fibermyalgia, and although you may or may not have those illnesses, you need to see an internist or specialist who treats those illnesses. Not all doctors are receptive to dealing with them. I was lucky enough to change to an internist who diagnosed the problem quickly and found a new drug they have now that helps greatly. I also have a tremendous support group in my family and friends which helps.
Some of my symptoms are exhaution, body aches so bad, unable to focus or think straight, nausea, dizziness, depression (not clinical-just caused by being so sick) The doctor put me on Savella and Provigil last May. I have been smiling ever since I got to the full dose. I can now focus, think straight, very happy, and feel pretty good most of the time.
Please see a doctor who deals in those two illnesses and get it marked on or off as a problem. If it is the problem, you could go off some of your other stuff, and the Savella and Provigil changed my life. Best of Luck
your doc should put you back on it if it helped yo to get back to your old self!and i agree with others ,sounds like you have fibro!and meds work different on folks prednisone put me out of my head when i was in the hospital pulled pick line out and don't remember doing it ,nurse said i walked the halls all night!it was causing me to be sleep deprived !
Prednisone can make you very hyper & very hugery, It's not something you want to take for long periods of time tho', as it does have bad side effects. It can cause osteoporosis. I can't believe your question was asked 2 years ago. Hope things have gotten better for you,
It sounds to me like you might have Fibromyalgia & Anxiety along with it. Are you on any medications yet, & how are you doing now? Sounds like you need a really good work up, medication, & mayber some counseling. Hope this gives you some help, & hope you are feeling better by now. Please let us know...
So sorry to have a you feel like this... but I agree with Sacosam. The symptons are so PMR. You do need a Rheum Doctor! Predisone is a steroid, it would help a any person feel better depending how much they take, even a healthy person would feel better, and the only side effect seems to be the loss of sleep. So it seems... Steroids are silent, they will catch up to you. Get to the Rummie Doc. You need some serious trial and error meds to help wean off Predisone. But it is not going to be one script and you are better. It will most likely be a "cocktail" and certian meds at certian mgs will be individual for your symptons.

As I pointed out on a previous topic, I've always found it easiest to deal with time/date stuff by first converting the dates I'm dealing with to seconds since the epoch (a numeric value). If you make use of the time function, it returns seconds since the epoch. If you have a date, and wish to convert it to seconds, you can use Time::Local to do so.
Once you have your date in seconds, it's very easy to do tests and manipulations on that data. For an example, see the node I linked above. Good luck! -Eric In reply to Re: Date Comparison..?

Left: Runstedler, circa 1983 Center & Right : Progressed to age 50 years by RCMP
Desmond Joseph Runstedler
Missing since May 23, 1983 from near Lougheed, Alberta, Canada
Classification: Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Runstedler was last seen hitchhiking on Highway 13 just east of Lougheed, Alberta on May 23, 1983. He had been partying with campers at the local campground just east of Lougheed. He left a wedding dance and was seen hitchhiking on Highway 13 by people at a nearby campground. It is presumed that he was on his way home as he lived in a rented farmhouse, 3 kilometers east of Lougheed.
He lived with two roommates, one of whom moved out two months before he disappeared. He had worked in construction, but at the time of his disappearance, Runstedler had a job at the Lougheed Hotel. He was part of the town's party crowd, known for drinking and drugs.
Runstedler wasn't reported missing until January 10, 1984, after the Lougheed postmistress, concerned about the mounting pile of mail for Runstedler, contacted his parents in Ottawa.
Searches via telephone records, credit cards, banks, immigration, social services, motor vehicle branch, unemployment insurance records have not resulted in any information about Runstedlers whereabouts.

This song has been a couple months in the making and guess what? I'm STILL not satisfied! The vocals are a little bit sloppy and off pitch at some points because I'm going to be redoing them in the future because my track sounds so fucking good but the timbre of the vocals clashes with the instrumental and sounds awkward. I'll get a new mic and do them again. I also did the backing vocals with a G-track and the lead vocals and ending vocals were done with a Logitech headset.
I had it mixed real good like, but I went ahead last minute and put a 6 dB mastering device on it just because I wanted it to be louder. Let me know how that goes.
This is a tribute of Long Time, a song off Cakes new album Showroom of Compassion (a tribute is like a cover except in covers you're trying to 'cover over' the original, get it?) I really dig this song and Cake is one of my favorite bands so I just ended up deciding to do this. It's not my favorite Cake song, but it's pretty damn cool and that leading synth in the original drives me wild.
There are SO MANY separate, live recorded tracks in this song, Audacity was skipping and shit while I was trying to make the song. Every track is recorded live by moi and recorded through a Samson G-Track or a Logitech USB headset, manipulated through FL Studio 9 Free Edition and Audacity and mixed in Audacity and mastered in FL Studio 9 Free Edition... EXCEPT for three tracks that were recorded by Mihai Sorohan and satanicpotatoe (Yeah, that's right).
NG users sorohanro and satanicpotatoe... Well, they helped out in a huge way; sorohanro recorded himself playing trumpet for the track and did, I believe, a fantastic job at it, a very talented musician with an already established NG existence and satanicpotatoe... Just wow, he did the drum track through some program, I haven't asked which but, damn, he did a badass drum track for this, I see him getting more popular here. I manipulated their tracks to my satisfaction and thank them IMMENSELY.
Instruments I used: B.C. Rich Warlock electric guitar, Crestwood acoustic electric bass, Casio LK-35 keyboard, Yamaha Portasound PC-100 keyboard, found objects and my voice.
I added my own flair to the song, you can probably tell if you know me, haha.
Lyrics? You want LYRICS? It's a TRIBUTE! Go look them up yourself!

"Summary Too Short" my ass, Newgrounds.
This thing is pretty sick, I like it quite a bit.
You consider putting a hard EQ over your VoX to try and get them to stand out a little more in the mix over the other instruments? I noticed that a good amount of your samples/vsti's are very sinewave-intensive, and are all quite "sharp" (Presentation-wise, not tuning-wise).
Also, Auto-Tune is an unpracticed singer's best friend. Sure, it really is kind of cheating. But it wouldn't hurt to throw a gentle push in the right direction using Antares' nice little trinket. I'm not saying to go full T-Pain and go for the full pitch correction, but if use a gentle 50ms delayed tune on there, it would really help out.
Not saying your vox are bad, because they're definitely better than what I could do. But it never hurts to add just a little bit more :)
Still, very nice overall. I've listened to it through and through twice now, and I like it quite a bit. It's totally not my thing usually, but I really like it.
Don't stop Rahmmy, you da bestest :3
Naw, the vocals got mixed in too loud because of the -6 dB mixing device I put on last minute. The only samples used were the drums. Everything else is live instruments or noises I made/recorded and tweaked with, so they aren't really samples. (2013 edit: I meant that they aren't from a database of samples)
Oh no, I'm not unpracticed, I was being extremely lazy in the vocal department because I was pissed off at my microphones. They'll be redone once I get a new mic.
No, they are bad, haha.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great work my friend! I'm really impressed, the result is amazing.
Your bass playing is awesome ;)
Ha, yeah, usually my stuff is all unorthodox and shit. Then again, I guess this still fits in that sense because of the horrid vocals, haha.
Thanks for the review!

Allen and Heath Qu-16 Digital Mixer, Chrome Edition
Now in a feature-packed new Chrome Edition, Qu-16 reshapes digital mixing with innovative design and exceptional functionality combining to create a superb professional mixing experience.
Main Features
- 19 inch rack mountable 16-channel digital mixer
- Includes GLD and iLive digital mixing technology
- Moving faders and total recall
- Four stereo effects engines
- Intuitive touchscreen operation
- iPad control via the Qu-Pad iPad App
- dSNAKE Remote Audio Port
- Read More
Bristling with all the features you'd expect from a top of the range digital console and incorporating technologies pioneered on the GLD and iLive digital mixing systems, Qu-16 has the power and pedigree to deliver class-leading audio performance. Hot new features in Qu V1.8 firmware include Automatic Mic Mixing and a Spectrogram for feedback-hunting. Qu Chrome Edition models also feature upgraded, high contrast metallic finish controls. Whether you're switching from analogue or updating your digital desk, it's time to experience the new digital with Qu-16.
Analogiq™ Preamps
Qu-16's sixteen AnalogiQ™ total recall preamps feature zero crossing detection and an advanced padless 1dB step gain stage, closely allied to the DSP for optimal gain accuracy and audio transparency. The analogue signal is captured by high class, low latency 24bit analogue to digital converters matched to high quality 24bit digital to analogue converters to deliver the required outputs. The AnalogiQ™ design has been refined over many months to offer superb transparency, minimal distortion and an ultra-low noise floor, with a warm, musical sound that is missing from some digital consoles.
The Mixing Experience
Having massive processing power and advanced functionality is great, but it counts for nothing if you can't access the controls you need in a heartbeat. Once you start using Qu-16 you'll sense the years of research into ergonomics and the hands-on mixing experience that A&H has drawn upon to deliver a wonderfully natural layout and workflow. It's not about recreating an analogue interface, it's about creating an experience that's fluid, comfortable and intuitive for novices, digital natives and old school road warriors alike, making all the benefits of digital mixing technology readily accessible to all. High contrast metallic finish controls complete the picture, offering excellent low light visibility and enhanced tactile control.
Touch Control
The 800 x 480, sixteen million colour Touchscreen and its dedicated data encoder form the heart of the Qu-16 interface, providing super-fast, easy access to all settings. The user-friendly interface has been designed with clarity in mind. Dedicated keys and screen tabs quickly guide you to meter and RTA views, FX racks, channel processing, USB audio control, scenes, setup menus and much more.
The Superstrip
All your key processing tools are presented in a clean layout on the SuperStrip, with 1 function per physical control. The SuperStrip is complemented by an onscreen Touch Channel for intuitive access to full processing parameters without clutter or complex menu structures. Processing for Mono and Stereo inputs includes trim, polarity, HPF, gate, insert, 4 band PEQ, compressor and delay. The main LR and the Mono mixes have controls for Insert, 1/3 octave GEQ, compressor and delay. The Stereo mixes provide Insert, 4-band PEQ, compressor, delay and balance control.
Fader Automation
Moving faders started as an expensive option in the studio desks of the 80s, and later became the norm with the advent of digital technology. Nevertheless some entry-level digital mixers lack this precious commodity which is a fundamental part of the Total Recall approach. Fader automation is essential for rapid mixing, especially when you're dealing with multiple monitor mixes – just press a mix key and the faders immediately fly to the send levels for that mix. Qu-16 features 17 motorized ALPS faders, 16 arranged over 2 layers, allowing instant access to all channels and masters in a compact space, plus a dedicated master fader which dynamically follows the mix selection. A third, Custom layer is available for ad-hoc user strip layout, where any combination of Inputs, FX Sends, FX Returns and Mix masters can be assigned.
ILive FX
Qu-16's dynamics and FX algorithms are derived from the FX used in the iLive pro touring series. Some of the world's most respected audio engineers have chosen to use iLive's FX on tour in preference to top-end plug-ins and external FX units. Qu-16 boasts 4 stereo iLive FX engines, featuring lovingly crafted emulations of legendary classic reverbs, gated reverbs, delays, modulators, flangers and more. FX are returned to the mix on dedicated return channels, so you're not tying up your mono and stereo input channels. Each Stereo FX Return has a dedicated 4 band PEQ.
Total Recall
True digital mixing is about being able to save and recall scenes (snapshots) at the press of a button. Qu-16 can store up to 100 full Scenes for recall at will. Channels and mixes can be made Safe from Scene recall. For example, if an instrument or mic gets swapped out after the soundcheck, the channel can be made safe to avoid settings being overridden by Scene recalls. Or if a broadcast feed or walk-in iPod is added last-minute before the show kicks off, that mix or channel can be made safe from any scene change. In addition, single parameter updates can be blocked using per scene Recall Filters or a Global Recall Filter. So if you tweak the graphic EQ to reflect the room response when the audience gets in, you can block this to prevent any overwriting at scene change. Custom settings for each EQ, compressor, channel or FX can be saved as Library presets. This lets you store your tried and tested SM58 EQ or reverb pattern and apply it to other channels or shows. Libraries, Scenes and the complete Show configuration can be saved to a USB key, so you can carry the show with you, ready to use on another Qu-16.
USB Audio Streaming
Qu-16's built-in interface streams up to 24 selectable tracks to your Mac or PC. The returns from the Mac or PC can be easily assigned to the Input channels. The interface is class-compliant on Mac OS X – truly plug 'n play. It will be recognised straightaway by any DAW supporting Core Audio, including Logic, Cubase, Reaper, and Pro Tools. An ASIO and WDM compatible driver is available for Windows computers. Standard MIDI control is tunnelled over the USB connection so you can easily map the faders to the tracks of your favourite DAW. A DAW Control driver is available for easy setup and emulation of HUI or Mackie Control protocols on Mac OS X systems.
Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM)
AMM is vital in applications such as conferences, meetings and panel discussions where a number of microphones are open at the same time, reducing background noise and minimising the risk of feedback. The Automatic Microphone Mixer feature helps the engineer to manage the levels of multiple mic inputs, ensuring that each speaker's contribution is heard. A&H's D-Classic dynamic gain sharing algorithm is inspired by industry standard automixers. Up to 16 microphone sources can be mixed at once, with each channel having a priority setting which determines its 'weight' in the total system gain.
Forget soundcard drivers and software setup, Qu-16 has an integrated multitrack USB recorder, providing 18 channels of 48kHz 24bit recording and playback straight to / from your USB hard drive. Capturing multitrack recordings of your shows has never been so easy. A selectable stereo pair can be recorded alongside the 16 Mono channels, and multitrack audio can be played back to the 16 Mono channels plus ST1. On top of this, Qu-Drive also provides stereo recording, patchable from any pair of Mix outputs, the Main LR (pre, post, or summed to mono) or even the PAFL bus, with 2- track stereo playback to ST3.
Armed To The Hilt
Qu-16 is equipped with 5 cores of high efficiency ARM core processing, with dedicated ARM cores running the touchscreen display and surface, USB streaming, Qu-Drive multi-channel USB recording / playback, Ethernet and fader automation. Between them the ARM cores provide state-of-the-art processing, working in parallel to deliver extensive control, instant-on operation, and lightning-fast response. The mixer's DSP farm exploits next generation dual core DSPs, giving 10 DSP cores, with 8 dedicated to the channel and mix processing alone. The Qu-16 DSP architecture employs varied bit depths, tailored to specific algorithms, with 48 bits on critical EQ functions and a 56 bit accumulator on the mix bus where it really counts, allowing every nuance of the audio to be captured in the final mix.
The Shape Of Things To Come
Made from 18 gauge, cold-rolled Zintec steel, Qu-16's distinctive frame is designed for strength, rigidity and ease of rack mounting. A&H have done unspeakable things to that chassis in the lab and it's taken everything they've thrown at it.
Silence is a precious commodity in the live or studio environment, which is why nobody wants those moments of stillness ruined by the whirring of fans coming from the mix position. Qu-16's sleek profile generates optimal airflow through the mixer, eliminating the need for any fans.
The shape has some unexpected benefits too. When A&H started taking Qu-16 out to gigs they soon found the space beneath it incredibly useful for keeping USB drives, talkback mics, cue sheets and other clutter tucked out of the way.
QU-PAD Mixing App
Add the Qu-Pad iPad app to your Qu-16 setup and you're free to adjust the monitors on stage, roam around the venue whilst tweaking the PA, and then mix the show from the heart of the audience. Qu-Pad connects to the mixer over Wi-Fi and gives instant access to all live mixing parameters and settings.
ME Personal Mixing System
Qu-16 is fully compatible with the ME Personal Mixing System. Any number of ME-1 personal mixers can be chained from the dSNAKE port (or from an AR2412 Stagebox if you've got one connected to the dSNAKE port). Each performer can be given tailored control over their own mix, leaving the engineer free to focus on the audience experience.
Qu-16 is a self-contained mixer, so if you've already got the analogue cables you're good to go. If you're thinking of trading in the copper multicore for a Cat5 digital snake, Qu-16's dSNAKE port has you future-proofed, allowing connection to a remote AB168, AR2412 or AR84 Stagebox. dSNAKE is A&H's proprietary networking solution, boasting a transport latency of only 105us over cable runs of up to 120m / 390ft. So if you're mixing FoH you can place your I/O on the stage and run a single Cat5 cable back to the Qu-16 in the mix position.

National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC — usually pronounced "new-trick") is an American activist coalition that promotes tax resistance as a way to protest against and/or disassociate from war and militarism.
NWTRCC was founded on September 18, 1982, by Ed Hedemann and other activists.[1] It filled an organizational gap that had been left since the group National War Tax Resistance dissolved in 1975.

5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
3 weeks post op with pics
I chose him because I know multiple officers that he provided services for and its all been great. I am not too impressed with his office manager Maribel but she is the one I have to deal with. She tells you only minimal information and when things comes up, she tells you the rest. I find that very shady. The doctor himself is wonderful. I wouldn't ask for another but I can definitely do without his wife/office manager.... wait, i didn't mention that earlier did I. Yep, the office manager is his wife lol. Go figure!
Good Tummy Tuck Experience
Wonderful Doctor
There is no recent activity.
