Let's confine you for a undetermined number of months and ask you if you think pre-trial confinement is punishment or not.
'Speedy trial' might not be a legal requirement for military trials, but it's complete and utter disregard is still a travesty.
And for the record, I don't care if the hang the guy if he's found guilty. As described his actions are entirely unacceptable; but the treatment of him is also unacceptable.

State Sen. George Maziarz, R-C-Newfane, has announced legislation (S.1952 of 2013) he co-sponsored to limit the annual increase in agricultural assessments to 2 percent has been signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"This new law helps control assessments and therefore property taxes," Maziarz said. "We are striving to make it easier to keep farms in operation, and we can do that by preventing them from drowning in a tidal wave of new taxes."
"Farming is a land-intensive business, and it is critical to our state's economy and to our communities," Maziarz added. "We cannot afford to tax our farms out of business."
The measure, previously approved by the Senate in 2012, was strongly supported by the New York Farm Bureau. It was passed unanimously by the both chambers of the State Legislature this year.
The new law takes effect immediately.

A sound installation using a MAX/MSP patch that translates the wave form of pop songs to control voltage output to relays and motors. This installation is a site specific piece commenting on the brutalist architecture and design of the SFU Woodward's campus. Further exploration of this technology and these materials will follow in the form of interventionist installations and possibly more performance focused iterations utilizing musicians and interactivity.

Aqua•litative is a kinetic installation that renders forty years of data related to California's water history into a physical experience. The installation displays climatological data as a chronological narrative of water in the state by transforming water data into acoustic sounds (ringing of clock chimes) and physical movement (motors moving arms of balsa wood) shown in a gallery space. Precipitation data creates sonic patterns, analogous to rain droplets, in a continuously evolving play between density and rhythm.
The sound is driven by twenty six solenoid relays, four JBtek 8 Channel relay boards and an Arduino Mega. The movement is driven by twenty six servo motors, two 16 Channel Servo Drivers and an Arduino Uno.

Oosphere is a interactive environment. The self-contained sound-art installation has an outward shape of seed where the inward sights and sounds partially penetrate the semi-opaque shell. Visitors travel within the seed and navigate a dark, craggy interior with colored bulbs that light their way. These bulbs are the main interactive element, whereby moving/exposing the bulbs to the interior, the light and distance sensors, video cameras, and touch sensors react musically, sonically, and luminously. The act of visual discovery evolves into musical construction as visitors encounter more and more of the unique interactions from different areas of the interior.
The environment uses Arduino Uno, photoresistors, multiplexed LEDs, IR distance sensors. Audio is processed through MaxMSP.

The city is filled with invisible signals. They carry different levels of data, messages, and information. Smart phones, laptops, tablet computers and their interconnected networks, mobile and wireless directly influence how urbanity is being interpreted. "Signal Morphor" visualizes the boundless signals, morphing and shaping architectures and the environment. It explores and reveals the way immaterial signals influence the formation and perception of urban life.
This is a kinetic sculpture. All movements are based on the calculation of mechanical engineering. It includes gears, actuators and motors etc. The sculpture also detects signals; a signal detector (for radio frequency (RF) signaling power from 50Mhz to 3GHz with 60dB dynamic range) with microcontroller (Arduino modified) acts as the central processing unit to trigger the whole kinetic movement, as well as the light and sound effects.
When the sculpture detects the active RF signal around, it reacts to phone calling, receiving, SMS/MMS in or out and data transcribing with 3G/Bluetooth/WiFi. The sculpture doesn't detect non-active RF.
Light and sound visualizing the current received-strong signal.

Arduino Kitchen Timer on Instructables
The Arduino Kitchen Timer is a simple timer based around a 10 bar LED Bar Graph, with a Piezo-Electric Buzzer. A line of 10 LED's could also be used, and each LED represents a segment of 5 mins. Once the Arduino is reset the user holds a pushbutton and the Bar Graph counts up in chunks of 5 mins, until the user lets go of the button. The timer then times 5 mins, and the last LED is turned off, etc until the timer is finished. The LED bar graph then shows a display, and a piezo buzzer sounds an alarm.

A project to develop and build open source energy monitoring and analysis tools for energy efficiency and distributed renewable microgeneration.
The Mains AC energy monitor can measure energy used by a whole house/building. It uses a current transformer (CT) sensor to measure current in the live wire safely and a AC-AC power adapter to measure mains voltage.
From these measurements the Arduino calculates: Real Power, Apparent Power, Power Factor, RMS Voltage, RMS Current, frequency and kWhs.
The values can then be sent to a computer for logging and graphing or it can be displayed on an LCD/7 segment display, logged to a USB pen drive or uploaded to the internet via an Ethernet shield and graphed with Flot:
There's also a program to look at the shape of the AC waveform.

An attempt to demonstrate the principles of modularity in electronics using the Arduino platform Open Arduino GameBoy is a project to prove that basic electronic devices can be re-created with the Arduino platform as the core processor. It started as a curious side project, and was mentioned on Engadget, Digg, Hack-A-Day and Gizmodo. One is now on temporary display in the Gadget Gallery in Hartford as part of the digital emergence exhibit.
interactive mechanical light sculpture DIGIGRIPPER is a interactive climbing wall that lets you tumble to the ground if you don't follow the hectic changes of the digital signs, which are shown on a human sized 5 x 7 LED display. However, if one uses an unilluminated dot, this dot will cave in, causing the climber to slip and to fall to the ground. Prior to climbing the display one has to memorise a continuous series of letters, as this is the only way to change the dots one is holding on to in time for the next change of letters. In doing so one can key into a terminal a short sentence. Whoever manages to hold onto the display the longest is the winner.
DIGIGRIPPER is based on one Arduino using the "ShiftOut" tutorial by Carlyn Maw and Tom Igoe. You find all files, instructions and videos on the blog.

DIY Electronic Drum Brain
The Drum Master system is comprised of two parts. The hardware brain module (containing the Arduino microcontroller and a collection of circuits to assist in obtaining the sensor information) is called the Drum Master. This is connected via USB to a computer, which is running the Drum Slave software, written in Python. When a sensor is hit, the Drum Master converts the signal to a digital value, and sends this value (and the port on which the sensor was detected) over the serial port. The Drum Slave program listens for this, and plays the corresponding audio sample.
This project also includes some theory about signal filtering, particularly with respect to Piezo elements, which may come in handy for other people (I could not find much, if any, theory on this when researching the project initially. The findings here come from actual measurements using the Arduino).
See the Drum Master website for more information, schematics, PCB layouts, and software.

Experimental musical instrument built at the University of York, UK
The TrampoLine is an experimental musical instrument developed on the MA/MSc in Music Technology at the Music Research Centre, University of York, UK.
A durable hardware chassis is combined with compact Arduino Mini based electronics in this geometrically designed instrument. The structure is built around a control handle, which is suspended by 8 flexible sensors. These can be plucked to produce sounds, whilst the bowl itself can be rotated through varying degrees to adjust the pitches of the constituent tones. Each sensor can be controlled separately, or through the movements of the bowl. The rotational position of the bowl also controls parameters of various temporal, spatial and spectral effects.

audio-textile-installation that uses interactive technology to create an orchestra of the human body http://www.sonicbody.co.uk
The Sonic Body is an audio-installation that uses interactive technology to create an orchestra of the human body. Developed as a collaboration between four interdisciplinary artists and a heart surgeon, the installation brings together art and medical-science to reveal the unheard sounds of the body.
The installation, created by artists Harry Neve, Thomas Michalak and Anna Orliac, appears on its exterior as a neutral cylindrical pod. Once inside however, the audience is immersed in a contrastingly tactile and multi-sensory space filled with sculptural fabric forms that evoke the shapes and contours of inner body parts. The audiences' movements and contact with the installation triggers a symphony of spatialized sounds to be played that have been recorded from within the body. (4 speakers and a sub)
The Sonic Body was inspired by the traditional practice of listening to the body to diagnose illness, and began as an investigation into the scope of sonic activity that exists within the human body. Medical professionals were consulted to help understand which parts of the body make sounds and why, and various methods were used to record unusual and unheard sounds from deep within the body's organs, muscles, bones and veins. These included conventional medical equipment, such as a stethoscopes, as well as more unorthodox devices such as a hydrophone (normally used for recording aquatic-life) to capture sounds in liquid, an anechoic chamber to record microscopic external sounds, and equipment to detect and re-tune the body's ultrasonic activity, which is usually inaudible to the human ear.
The material gathered, and relayed via the installation, reveals a spectrum of bodily acoustics beyond that of just stomach gurgles and heartbeats. There is a lung that sounds like a baby crying, an intestine that sounds like a rainforest, and there is even the anatomical sound of a female orgasm that sounds like high-pitch whistling. The project aims to create a unique way of thinking about and experiencing the body, through sound.
Funded by a Wellcome Trust, Sciart award.

A wireless multi-node sound sculpture Submitted by: Miles Thorogood
Chatter and Listening is a number of re-locatable art objects with sonic attributes. These objects act as single entities; they can create decisions, observe their environment and operate alone. They also act in the narrative of a colony where each object is guided in behavior by the state of the colony and its surrounding environment. The colony and individuals behavior is modeled from the Australian magpie. In each behavior state a node will display a particular audible representation of that behaviour. This model is programmed on the Arduino board.
Chatter and Listening uses technologies including the Arduino board, hacked MP3 devices and wireless communications combined with other artistic practices such as ceramics and sound art to realize a distributed intermedia artwork.
The installation of Chatter and Listening comprised of three sculptural nodes that held the components for the behaviour system and audio functionality. These nodes were suspended from wire and inhabited a willow tree that allowed viewers to walk around the sculptural objects, seeing and hearing them from many angles. Using the out of doors space added a sublime analogue feel to the work. The wind moved the nodes gently, which gave a pleasant sensation when viewing the work. Other sounds like the wind in the willows and several bird species added to the sound space.

...consists of nine individual elements created by the Masters class 2006 from the College of Arts and Communication. 9 remote-controlled kinetic installations, all have something in common; they operate on 27MHz and are all made as variations of the same set of elements: a plant, a piece of fabric, a piece of wire netting, a set of playing cards, two meters of yellow wire, two remote controlled motors with a microchip and light sensor enhanced remote control. These 9 kinetic installations are brought together through the 10th element, a system of spotlights hanging above each installation. Visitors interact through an interface, a grid of 9 matching holes. Each hole represents one kinetic installation. By covering the holes of the interface the above spotlight activates, and the matching installation spreads out their individual programmed code into the surrounding environment via the common frequency of 27MHz. The visitor becomes the conductor and part of the installation.
Following a 3 month workshop on Physical Computing, given by Dipl. Ing.

In order to promote communication in the museum, a combination of the conventional blog and the existing seat opportunities in the museum is conceivable. In standing one operates usually rather small talk, by the relaxed attitude in sitting, arises the possibility of more intimate discussions. The desired situation of our solution would be that in each area of the museum a mobile blog is located in form of a stool, that records discussions during sitting , in order to play back these later. These stools should invite to the discussion. Contrary to the conventional blog these stools would establish a personal relationship by their behavior to the user. Because this discussions would be time- and space independent, they would not depend on "the first impression ". That means, that humans would become united, which would not start a maintenance with one another under normal circumstances. The discussion becomes independent of generation and type differences. By the acoustic play back of the voice, on the one hand knowledge will be more understandably mediated, on the other hand non-verbal communication will not get lost.
Gotthard calls attention on itself and invites to take a seat, by following the user. He records the talks of the users, in order to communicate these to other people later. By LEDs he indicates, how much knowledge he offers. He will never be out of date, because sometimes he forgets older discussions.

This is a portable interactive installation using a non-traditional user interface. The installation represents a game with a grid of LEDs that can be embedded as a carpet into the physical space. A pattern of lights is generated dynamically, that change in real time according to pedestrians movement over the carpet. In this case the pedestrians become participants that influence the generative process and make the pattern of LEDs change with the change of the location of one or more participants. The aim was to create a novel urban experience that invites social interactions with the interface among different people as friends, observes or strangers.
The LED-s Urban Carpet consists of two layers: the first is a grid of light-emitting diodes (LED-s), which turn on or off depending on a computer program, written in Processing, which defines the behavior of each light at every instant. The program use a Boid algorithm based on Craig Reynolds' rules, to simulate a flock of seagulls that follow the pedestrian. It gives the whole experience a recreational and fun atmosphere. The location of each pedestrian over the carpet is recognized by a second layer: a grid of pressure pad sensors, which is located behind the grid of LEDs. Both the LED and pressure pad layers are connected each one to one Arduino board; the first sends the user's input to the computational program and, the second performs the outputs controlling seven LED Display Drivers M5054 (32 pins).

Sensors in the inside of the punching bag transmit the punches to the computer, which morph the cylinder according to the positions of the blows. Each punch changes the shape of the object. The vision in the mind of the customer comes to life through physical power.
We collected different patches and tools to realize a project for university. Our aim was to be able to control different hardware components (connected to the Arduino board) on a computer which is far away from the remote computer. there's no specific application yet, but I'm sure that many of you have ideas how to use this setup. have fun and share! thx

Experimental Music Instruments is a group of engineers, composers and sound artists who promote the design of non-traditional instruments in order to provide the amateur player with a meaningful and pleasant performance experience. EMI Project offers non-professional musicians the possibility of experimenting with the musical activity, where pleasure is achieved by playing around with reliable music artefacts, exploring unusual sound structures.
With the use of open design tools like Arduino and Pure Data we are able to hack almost everything and turn it into a musical instrument. The open source environments that are used in EMI project give us an opportunity to develop instruments that map physical interaction to sound within a digital environment.

Sotavento is an artistic, sounding abstraction of the passionate and endless relationship between millions of trees and one single, inexorable wind, a wind that we all share.
In Sotavento we established an Internet-based, real-time movement communication between moving trees located in different countries: currently - Florence (Italy), Berlin (Germany) & San-Luis Potosi (Mexico).
The tree's "dance" is tracked down by dual-axis accelerometers, fixed each to the tip of a branch. We use the complex branch movements to trigger sounds locally and to interact remotely.
This project is an on-going adventure, ever-expanding.
Main integration & sound technologies used:
Hardware: Arduino (what else?), ADXL202JE
Software: oscgroups (cheers Ross!), osc router (java), max/msp

This is a software MIDI interface designed to accept serial data from an Arduino board and convert it into MIDI drum data in OS X. The application acts as a bridge between sensors connected to the Arduino board and applications such as GarageBand without requiring additional MIDI hardware. All data is transferred directly over the USB connection and no additional power source is needed.
I wanted to make an inexpensive electronic drum setup that could be used with GarageBand. There are some great projects out there that describe how to output MIDI from an Arduino board, but these required additional hardware (e.g. MIDI modules, MIDI interface, etc). Since most people don't have extra MIDI hardware laying around, I decided to just write some software to accept serial data from an Arduino board and make a virtual MIDI instrument that would be recognized by GarageBand. Here is the idea:

Organically shaped illuminated objects are deployed in the darker, rather dodgy corners of the city. Left alone, the objects calmly breathe light. As people approach a DRoP, the DRoP becomes nervous, speeding up its luminous breath to a state of hyperventilation.
DRoPS plays with the subjective perception of safety in urban environments. The first set of three DRoPS is mounted inside a pedestrian autobahn underpass in Lucerne, Switzerland.
DRoPS is part of a series of artworks to sanitize certain areas of the city and is supported by cultural funds from the city of Lucerne.
Lets you use standard pedals for sostenuto and una corda with some digital pianos by sending messages over MIDI. Part of the DIY Keyboard open source hardware project at http://diykeyboard.org.
The controller was made using an Arduino board, 2-axis accelerometer and a button sensor. Two games were coded for the project, the classic Tetris and the old arcade game, Asteroids.
When controlling Tetris it is just to tilt the controller left or right to move the blocks accordingly, tilting the controller forward(away from you) rotated the blocks and backward(towards you) accelerated the block downwards. Pushing the button slams the block down.
With Asteroids it is a bit more intuitive, tilting left and right rotates the ship(triangle) left and right, and forward accelerates and backwards decelerates. Pushing the button shoots.

Big Dripper is a concept based on Harold Edgerton's Piddler. Edgerton's Piddler, also known as a "Time Fountain", uses a stroboscopic light source to highlight individual drops of water in a constant stream of liquid. With the strobe off, the stream looks like a solid cylinder of falling water. With the strobe on, and correctly synchronized with the actuation of the pump, the individual drips of water that compose the stream are exposed. The drips appear to hang in space as if frozen in time. By modulating the phase relationship between the frequency of the pump and the frequency of the strobe, the device can generate optical illusions of motion. For example, the individual drops can appear to fall slowly, or even crawl upwards.
Big Dripper expands on this idea by adding eight individually controllable pumps. By adjusting the phase relationships between the pumps and LEDs, a variety of visual effects can be achieved.
A demo of the web page serving Arduino is usually online, ready for you to play with. Well, this is the playground, after all!
ArduServer.com takes you to a "getting started" guide. (The link to the working demo is there.) Guide shows you how to set up an Arduino to serve a web page with two buttons: LEDon, LEDoff. Click a button, and an LED on the Arduino serving the page goes on or off... and shines (or not!) on a light sensor. What light sensor is seeing reported on the page the Arduino serves. Issues of static vs dynamic IP address covered. DynDns.org solution. Router and firewall issues covered. Full code presented. Done on RBBB ($15), but information needed to move to other presented. Parts of essay depend on fact that a NuElectronics Ethernet shield ($25), an ENC28J60 device, used... but most of tutorial is about issues that would arise if you were using a W5100 chip. How to pass the data from the light sensor to Pachube is addressed, by reference to other materials. When buying an Ethernet interface, if you don't have a ready source of 3.3v, watch out for whether your shield can create it from the system's 5v, if you are on a 5v system. (The NuElectonics shield can, many can't.)
A demo of how you can use TCP/IP to "talk" between one Arduino server and multiple clients. (The demo client runs under Windows. I hope someone will port the app to Linux... the details are given in the webpage.)
This is not a web server. You cannot interact with it via a browser... which means that the Arduino server does not have to tie up program memory with the overheads of serving a web page. But it also means that you need bespoke client software.
The link above takes you to a complete tutorial explaining how the ArduSimpSrv was created. The details of obtaining a domain name, using dyndns services to overcome the lack of a static IP address, and telling your router's NAT feature what you want are all discussed in what I is at a beginner-friendly level.
I doubt will use the ArduSimpSrv as presented... but I hope it will show you how to do what you wanted to do.

We built an Arduino derivative called the Daisy that has a couple of unique features:
We used the Telco cable to plug in sensors b/c it is cheap, easy to find, easy to make. Each port supports a wide variety of protocols: GPIO, SPI (4-wire), ICSP, GPIO, or 1-Wire, etc. We also wrote software for the Android and for the desktop (Mac, Linux, Windows) that allows you to program the device via Bluetooth, and we created an online App Store to house applications, so you can browse firmwares and download them directly to the device. We have a user interface SDK on the desktop so you can create interactive UI applications to control or read sensors from your device and display the data real-time. You can do the same thing on the Android if you write a standard Android app that talks to the firmware via Bluetooth.
Here's a vid of the FOTA in action http://youtu.be/wEm07sh9Tcs
All our hardware/software is open source...and we have a variety of sensors and components that can plug into the Daisy, or you can quickly build your own - or plug in a breadboard and expand the hardware. We use the Atmel Atmega328 and the Arduino bootloader, so the Arduino SDK/libraries are all compatible with our device -- you can use the Arduino IDE to code the firmware or use our own Makefile build system.

SOMERVILLE (Taken from the Tufts press release) - In a match between two of New England's top four teams, Tufts handed Brandeis its first loss of the season, 2-0, on Saturday at Kraft Field.
The Jumbos (4-1), coming off a stinging 1-0 overtime loss at Wesleyan on Tuesday, regrouped and controlled possession against a Brandeis team that entered Saturday undefeated on the season and ranked twelth in the nation. Tufts out-shot the Judges 17-7.
Brandeis was number two regionally and Tufts was fourth as ranked by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America New England poll on September 17.
Tufts' goals came six minutes apart halfway into the first frame. Junior Gus Santos (Framingham, Mass./Northfield Mt. Hermon), an All-Region player last season who had been held goal-less thus far in 2013, curved a gorgeous free kick into the right side of the net in the 21st minute to put Tufts up 1-0.
In the 27th minute, the Jumbos went up by two as sophomore Connor Brown (Bow, N.H./Bishop Brady) threaded a pass through the Brandeis defense to junior Max Hoppenot (Princeton, N.J./Princeton Day School), who put it to the left of Brandeis junior keeper Joe Graffy (Concord, N.H./Concord) for his fourth goal of the fall. Brown had been fouled earlier leading to Santos' indirect kick.
After out-shooting Brandeis 8-4 in the first half, the Jumbos maintained the possession advantage in the second half with a 9-3 shots margin. Freshman goalkeeper Scott Greenwood (Weymouth, MA) recorded Tufts' fourth shutout in five games with three saves. His best came late on a point-blank attempt by Brandeis' Tyler Savonen (Orleans, MA). The Jumbos have allowed just one goal in five games.
Senior Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) led Brandeis' effort with three shots. Graffy finished with four saves.
Corners were 7-5 Tufts. This was the first meeting between the teams since 1997.
Tufts remains out of conference next as they travel to Plymouth State on Tuesday. Brandeis hosts Wentworth on Wednesday night.
Brandeis falls to Tufts for first loss of the season

How do we make a difference? A traditional humanities graduate school will offer you the face-to-face discussions and classroom experience that many crave for this type of program. The campus humanities degree also offers the opportunity to network with like-minded peers in your area.
Most humanities programs take an interdisciplinary approach, covering material from many interdisciplinary fields that may include art, classics, history, language, literature, philosophy, and religion. Some traditional humanities degrees will encourage drawing broadly for an interdisciplinary studies approach while others will encourage specialization and allow students to customize their program of study.
While less widespread, some humanities graduate schools offer a PhD. More schools offer a campus Master of Arts in Humanities. The local MA Humanities degree could prepare a student interested in community involvement or leadership roles in his or her organization, particularly in the non-profit sector.
You should consider different graduate humanities program formats available depending on what would best suit your needs. Some graduate programs in humanities may be part-time while others require a full-time commitment.
Filter your search by location to find a graduate school of humanities near you or worldwide. You can also search by degree level to find masters, doctoral or certificates in humanities.

Using Mythshutdown to block shutdown
Mythshutdown can be used to block an automatic shutdown. Since 0.21 it is possible to call mythshutdown --lock from each script so that shutdown will remain blocked until the last script has terminated and called mythshutdown --unlock.
#!/bin/bash # Unlock if the script is terminated for any reason trap "/usr/local/bin/mythshutdown --unlock" 0 SIGHUP SIGINT SIGQUIT SIGABRT SIGKILL SIGALRM SIGSEGV SIGTERM # Lock shutdown /usr/local/bin/mythshutdown --lock # Do script stuff
The full command-line options are (taken from version 0.25.1 output):
mythshutdown --help
Misc. Options: -c OR --check Check whether shutdown is possible --lock disable shutdown -x OR --safeshutdown Check if shutdown is possible, and shutdown -t OR --setscheduledwakeup Set wakeup time to the next scheduled recording -w OR --setwakeup Set the wakeup time (yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss) -h OR --help OR --usage Display this help printout, or give detailed information of selected option. --version Display version information. --shutdown Apply wakeup time to nvram and shutdown. -p OR --startup Check startup status -s OR --status check current status -u OR --unlock enable shutdown Logging Options: --loglevel Set the logging level. All log messages at lower levels will be discarded. In descending order: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug defaults to info --logpath Writes logging messages to a file in the directory logpath with filenames in the format: applicationName.date.pid.log. This is typically used in combination with --daemon, and if used in combination with --pidfile, this can be used with log rotators, using the HUP call to inform MythTV to reload the file --nodblog Disable database logging. -q OR --quiet Don't log to the console (-q). Don't log anywhere (-q -q) --syslog Set the syslog logging facility. Set to "none" to disable, defaults to none. -v OR --verbose Specify log filtering. Use '-v help' for level info.

I suspect you may have over processe a bit going for zero clicks. You know, one set of play back buttons plays only the current screen and the other set starts from the beginning of the track or tracks if "all tracks" are displayed below.
I would concur absolutely with this. It is not usually a good idea to keep reprocessing until the detected clicks drop to zero. This is because of the problem of 'false positives' The process of discriminating between clicks and music is never perfect and therefore, the more times you process, the more is the likelihood that you will pick up a lot of false positives. This may be what is causing the dull sound you are reporting.
I thionk the best approach is to process once and then to audition as citguy suggests. Only re-process if there are still audible clicks to be removed. And even then, it is better to remove them manually or to mark a block around them and use Block-SuperScan. That way it is only the region immediately around then rogue click that will be reprocessed.
Having said all that, another user has reported that he successfully does what you do but at detection threshold 2. If you do decide to do multiple superscans, then threshold 2 is to be preferred as the likelihood if false prositive is much reduced.
Derek....let me clarify that a little. I scan first at a setting of 2. Then I audition and then superscan only if there are still audible clicks. After the first superscan I do the same again. I NEVER aim for 0 clicks, more in the region of fewer than 20 to 30, or so. My point was that I have never found it necessary to use a click detection setting higher than 2 to produce the desired result. The only filter I use is the rumble filter since I solved the hum problem at its source by proper grounding etc.

GOOPy calls him William
It's Thursday. It's GOOP day!
Unfortunately this week's GOOP is all about recipes. Cookie recipes. Boring.
Also unfortunate, for her that is, careless staff. At the bottom of the newsletter that was sent out, you'll note they're still waiting for next week's copy. And this is not the first time. This is in fact at least the second time. Typos are for the common folk. This is not possible. Karl won't have it.
But even better…
Something extra to stir in your haterade. Something to seethe over all day.
One of the recipes Gwyneth shares is from Katie Lee Joel. She's married to some dude called Billy Joel. You've heard of him, right? It's just.so.Gwyneth, right?
Like, OF COURSE she'd call him William. William is much more proper.
The simple explanation of course is that it's an inside joke. But I prefer to think she's has some wannabe royal up her ass and thinks calling someone Billy is beneath her.
These are the Gwyneth attributes I love so much.
MUCH better than reading her gushing about making cookies with f-cking pecans and almonds. UGH.
Click here for GOOPy's latest. And whatever about the "not out-of-a-package cookies with unpronounceable ingredients". Nothing beats an OREO.

GARY Waddock expects Oxford United's players to report for duty in good condition as pre-season training begins today.
The squad will undergo a series of tests to gauge their fitness six weeks before the start of the new Sky Bet League Two campaign.
Only goalkeeper Ryan Clarke and midfielder Andy Whing, both recovering from injuries, will not take part.
The remainder, including Johnny Mullins, who has fully recovered from the foot problem which ruled the defender out of the final weeks of last season, have been following individual fitness routines during the close season.
All the talk over the past week has been about off-field matters, with United owner Ian Lenagan understood to be involved in takeover talks.
A consortium involving Mark Ashton and Darryl Eales is thought to be in advance talks with Lenagan, with a second group of Oxfordshire businessmen – led by Charlie Methven – publicly stating their interest also.
But – for now at least – attention can turn to the playing side of the club, and Waddock, the U's head coach, is planning to hit the ground running.
He said: "The players have programmes to do in the off-season.
"I was in and out of the training ground during the summer and the players have been doing the same.
"They will come back in good condition.
"First we will do the testing with (head of sports science) Alasdair Lane to see where they are.
"Then on the training ground and working on the fitness side of things, then team shape.
"You are looking for it all to come together when the season kicks off."
The sport has advanced significantly since Waddock was a player in the 1980s and 1990s, when pre-season sessions involved long cross-country runs.
United's players will be working with footballs from the beginning, but the U's chief made it clear that did not mean it would not be tough.
"For me, footballers need to work on the ball, whether that's a physical session or not," he said.
"They are out from day one.
"It won't be easy, put it that way. Hard work can be done on the balls because I want us to be a hard-working team."
Having taken over in March during the midst of United's miserable run-in to last season, the next few weeks will be the first opportunity for Waddock to spend significant time working with the players.
The former Wycombe boss is raring to get started, but the players will already have an idea of what is required.
He said: "Pre-season is a good place, we'll come in and everybody looks forward.
"There will be a change in terms of training, but the players have already seen that to a degree.
"They have had a taste of how I plan to structure a training session, it won't be a surprise to them."

It is my opinion and my opinion ONLY that we lost e-Sangha for those reasons. The site going down due what apeared to be injection attack-related database problems came as no surprise to me.
Besides that, I found the heavy-handed, arbitrary, unfair and at times vindictive moderation practices to be distasteful in the extreme. I would prefer to not see that happen here. If that means keeping former e-sangha moderators off the moderation team, so be it.
And as far as the Tradition Which Shall Not Be Named goes, I couldn't care less. I see the problem as one concerning them and the Gelugs only. I'm a Kagyupa. My allegiance to the Dali Lama lies down the list a ways - after the Karmapa, My Guru and His Guru, in that order respectively. I have not seen or heard anything from those venerables on the subject, one way or the other. What His Holiness chooses to say on the subject is of no interest to me and quite frankly I rather not be bothered by such squabbles.

Hi i have a Manitou 627 (2007/2008) which has just developed a creeking sound from the front left wheel when on full lock. Im guessing first thing to try would be change the hub oil all round? Can anyone confirm a brand and rating please?
Hi i have a Manitou 627 (2007/2008) which has just developed a creeking sound from the front left wheel when on full lock. Im guessing first thing to try would be change the hub oil all round? Can anyone confirm a brand and rating please?
Morris oils EP80w-90 gear oil. Do it every 300hrs when the engine oil & filter is due- oil is cheap and changing it regularly will give you an early insight to a failing wheel bearing, although over just 300hrs there can be a considerable amount of glittery-grey stuff that comes out with the oil just from the hub reduction gears and bearing rollers, once you are used to this then you should be able to spot a real grey liquid mercury oil boding bad news in the offing.
Assuming there is some oil in it, it could be the strain of full lock on the wheel bearing? dry/worn king pin taper roller bearings? or lack of oil + the reduction gears are failing- add full lock and the transmission wind-up because of no interaxle diff could be enough to make it sound at full lock? Or could it just be the driveshaft UJ's ???
The best thing about Facebook is the logout button......
Where is Ace ?
Drive shaft joint would be an easy first check.
Obviously check oil level but if it making a noise chances are it needs alot more than just oil.
Jack it up check play on wheel bearings and king pins etc and track rod ends as they get dry and make squeaky noises.
Check the double uj joints for wear.
All these parts need to be replaced striaght away or you will have problems possibly very big expensive problems.
I do have some second hand hub parts if needed.
Ideally you need footsfitter to switch on you private messages cause i get told off for putting direct links to me.
http://www.whatoildoineed.com/ look under agricultral/telescopic or it may find 627 as a search.
Because of the limited slip diff and inboard brakes you need an anti-squak oil, you can use thw oil used in modern tractor wet multi clutch transmissions, but I prefer a gear oil which we keep to use in our JCB456zx axles and is more than the manitou specs. The wrong grade oil can make the multi plates in both the LSD and brakes chatter as they keep grabbing which the wrong grade of oil may cause.
Same oil is used in the rear axle so plan to do that as well
As for bungs, I can vouch for Andrews advice to remove the top bung first just to let the pressure out which these axles seem to run at, the bottom one is the drain obviously........the middle one is the level, but removing it first can lead to a fair old splat of oil usually over the arms and face
The best thing about Facebook is the logout button......
The oil I recommend is genuine Manitou oil "special wet brake lubricant" there are other oil brands that claim to do the job but they don't always work!
If I was to have to recommend a non branded genuine oil it would have to be Fuchs Titan LS90 or Morris terrain LS90 this is on the basis that the UK service centre for these axles uses the fuchs LS90 in them and morris version of it is there new Terrain LS90 which is not to be confused with Morris XEP90 which is more of an automotive grade and not a heavy duty commercial grade, morris tech support words not mine!
I have used a lot of Morris XEP90 in the past and it wasn't good enough for these axles or the older versions of it. Most of the time it was okay but kept getting the odd one that didn't like it, same when using Morris JDF, Terrain TBX and Shell TMX S4 back end oil, okay in some and not others which is why I only use the genuine Manitou oil in the dana axles now as it never gives me any trouble.
Currently using Morris Terrain LS90 in the older clark Hurth axles and carraro as used on matbros, seems a lot better than XEP90 so far.
if you look closer there are 3 drain bungs, 1 in the centre and 2 underneath one each side.
there are 2 level bungs one front and one back, you only need to remove the one.
and 1 filler bung near the top.
Also a 627 has a drop box on the back of the front axle, to the untrained eye one would assume it would share the same oil as front axle but it doesn't! There is an oil seal between the 2, so the drop box has its own drain and combined filler/level bung and uses normal EP80-90 gear oil like the hubs.

DreamWorks Studios has begun filming the "The Fifth Estate," a movie about the controversial founder of WikiLeaks.
The film, which will be released in the U.S. on Nov. 15 through Disney's Touchstone label, began principal photography last week in Iceland and is filming this week in Berlin. The film also will shoot in Belgium, where it will receive a tax credit.
Directed by Bill Condon, "The Fifth Estate" stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange and Daniel Brühl as Daniel Domscheit-Berg, as well as Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie and David Thewlis.
Following Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Brühl), an early supporter and eventual colleague of Julian Assange (Cumberbatch), "The Fifth Estate" traces the early days of WikiLeaks, culminating in the release of a series of controversial and history changing information leaks. The website's overnight success brought instant fame to its principal architects and transformed the flow of information to news media and the world at large.
Participant Media is a co-financier on the film with DreamWorks, the latest collaboration between two companies, which previously partnered on Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," the 2011 Academy Award-winning movie "The Help," "The Kite Runner," and "The Soloist." Condon is best-known for directing "Dreamgirls" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn."

The roundly discredited sham of so-called "reparative therapy" - touted by its practitioners as a way to "convert" gays into heterosexuals - raises eyebrows for its claim that gays suffer from a "disorder." But one Toronto psychiatrist's approach to "treating" homosexuality sparked a committee review of the doctor and his methodologies, reported the Toronto Star.
Dr. Melvyn Iscove, 72, came under scrutiny by the discipline committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons after two former patients claimed that he had sexual contact with them in his office. Masturbation, oral sex, and an episode of anal sex were all reportedly engaged in by Iscove and the men claiming abuse.
The Star article said that the incidents in question "mostly date back to the 1990s and early 2000s."
"Neither complainant described any emotional or romantic aspects of the sexual activity with Dr. Iscove," a report by the committee stated, "and both said that at some point, they thought that the sexual activity was part of the therapy and an attempt to cure them of homosexuality by engaging in the acts, rather than fantasizing about them."
One of the men offered an account in which he sought treatment from Iscove in his 20s because he suffered anxiety around the issue of being gay. At some point in the course of their association, Iscove gave the man permission to touch him intimately; after that, doctor and patient engaged in sessions of masturbation and oral sex, the committee's report said.
The other man said that he went to Iscove when he was 18 - not because he had any doubts about his sexuality, but rather because he was depressed and suffered anxiety. Iscove told the man that his fantasies of straight sexual encounters were actually a coping mechanism.
"Fantasies that involved heterosexual relationships were identified by Dr. Iscove as being a way of denying his homosexuality," the committee's report said, adding that the young man "firmly believed that Dr. Iscove was attempting to 'cure' his homosexuality."
British newspaper The Daily Mail noted that Iscove was a proponent of theories promulgated in the 1950s by Dr. Edmund Bergler, who posited the notion that being gay is a pathological condition and can be "cured." Bergler authored the 1962 book "Homosexuality: Disease or Way of Life," in which he advanced the opinion that same-sex desire among men amounted to "an unconscious search for a duplicate of oneself as a boy" - a claim that managed to combine two scurrilous ideas: That being gay is a mental disorder, and the equally spurious - but, in homophobic circles, widely circulated - idea that gays prey on children.
Credible experts in the contemporary world say that so-called "conversion therapy" is ineffectual and can even harm those upon whom it is inflicted. The practice, which has been decried as torture by activists seeking to protect children, is currently outlawed in ten states - California, Connecticut, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont, New York, New Mexico and Rhode Island - as well as in the District of Columbia and various municipalities around the country. Washington State is now also poised to outlaw the practice with respect to minors.
Nor do credible mental health professionals embrace the idea that to be gay is to be in any way necessarily "disordered." The American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses in 1974; the World Health Organization lagged behind by a decade and a half, but also declassified homosexuality as a mental illness in 1990.
