Scale, in music, any graduated sequence of notes, tones, or intervals dividing what is called an octave.
The specific selection of different tones in any piece of music generally reveals a pattern of relationships among its pitches that can be expressed as a series of fixed distances (intervals) from one pitch to another within the span of an octave. The interval relationships among pitches of a scale are its essential feature, and a particular pattern of intervals defines every scale. Other aspects of pitch usage in music—such as range (distance from the highest pitch used to the lowest), emphasis placed on certain pitches, or the simultaneous (harmonic) and successive (melodic) occurrence of tones—do not alter the identity of the scale, although they may be essential in describing its function.
Although the number of different scales that can be formulated is theoretically nearly infinite, particular scales tend to become conventionalized within any given culture or musical tradition. The scale of a single piece of music may therefore be characteristic of the tone system of a whole culture. In general, the simplest scales can be found in very old music and in the music of nonliterate cultures, while the most complex scales occur in the world's most advanced cultures.
Scale and melody
Scales have proven to be important in the analysis of folk music and the music of nonliterate cultures, but scholars have been obliged to deduce the scales through a study of the actual music, since the creators of the music were not cognizant of scales as theoretical concepts. By contrast, music of the most highly developed cultures (variously described as classical music, art music, cultivated music, and high-culture music) is created in full awareness of rules or conventions pertaining to scale usage.
In view of the wide range of possibilities, a surprisingly small number of scale types predominate throughout the world. The intervals found in non-Western music often approximate rather closely the basic whole-step and half-step intervals that are used in Western music. Variations from Western intervals are often expressed as measurements in cents (100 cents = one half step in equal temperament, the pattern of 12 equal half steps used in Western music). The task of identifying scales in non-Western music is complicated further by the occasional appearance of highly variable intervals or by singing techniques that produce sounds whose pitches cannot be specified accurately through conventional notation, like the "tumbling strains" (falling melodies) described by German musicologist Curt Sachs in the singing of Australian Aboriginal peoples.
Although music performed only on one pitch does exist, the study of scales properly begins with the occurrence of at least two different pitches. Scales consisting of only one or two intervals (i.e., two or three pitches) can be found throughout the world in monophonic music (that consisting of a single unharmonized melodic line), though they are perhaps most numerous in Ceylon, eastern Siberia, California Indian cultures, and in regions near the Ural Mountains. Such scales commonly display a narrow range in which the pitches are separated by a half step, a whole step, or a minor third (one and one-half steps, as, C–E♭). Larger skips in two- and three-note scales do occur but are less frequent. Some simple scales have probably acquired additional pitches through a tendency to fill in large skips with intervening pitches. Another process by which scales may have expanded is the transposition within a single melody of one characteristic melodic motive (identifiable fragment) to a different pitch level, thus creating additional scale degrees.
Occasionally, primitive melodies apparently generated by motivic transposition also contain evidence of emphasis on particular pitches. An example is a melody that has been arranged so that the pitches G and C are consistently reiterated.
The melodic "weight" given to those two pitches could not have been achieved by the simple transposition of motives. Further, weighted scales may also give prominence to certain pitches by using them as range limits or by placing a particular pitch at the ends of sections or the end of a piece.
Scales function somewhat differently in the art-music traditions of highly sophisticated cultures, since they are not only a means of description and analysis but are also pre-existent assumptions for the composer or performer. Within those cultures, knowledge of the characteristics and requirements of various scales is often perpetuated by written treatises on music theory as well as by oral communication from generation to generation. The existence of professional composers and performers also encourages continuity in musical knowledge, even though some cultures, like those of the Western world, advocate continuous change in musical practices within acceptable limits. Through gradual evolutionary processes, the nature of scales and their functions may change radically over a period of several centuries.
Highly developed, complex systems governing the use of scales exist in a variety of cultures, principally in the Far East, India, Iran, the Muslim world, and the West. The differences in musical styles among those cultures are indeed great, yet there are some similarities in the manner in which scales function in each instance. Each culture has a number of basic scales (interval patterns), called grāma in India, dastgah in Iran, maqām in Muslim cultures. Generally, a basic scale is used to produce a number of different modes, or bases for melodic construction, in which the intervallic structure of the scale remains intact while primary and secondary melodic importance is attached to different pitch degrees. This hierarchy in which modes are generated by basic scale types consequently produces a greater number of modes than there are basic scales. The terms maqām and dastgah also are used to refer to such modes; the corresponding Indian term is jāti. In some art-music traditions the modes serve as the basis for an even larger number of specific melody types, which may again be elaborated further by improvisation in performance. In India the basic melodies are called rāgas; in Iran they are gūsheh. Although Western art music has a system of scales and modes, the melody types are not used as systematically or as consciously as they are in some of the non-Western traditions.
Common scale types
Pentatonic (five-note) scales are used more widely than any other scale formation. In fact, Western art music is one of the few traditions in which pentatonic scales do not predominate. Their frequency is especially notable in the Far East and in European folk music. The most common varieties of pentatonic scales use major seconds and minor thirds, with no half steps (anhemitonic). A representative type could be spelled C–D–E–G–A, for example. The pentatonic scale is so pervasive that melodies exhibiting tetratonic (four-note) scales often appear to be pentatonic with one pitch omitted. Hexatonic (six-note) scales appear rather rarely in folk music and nonliterate cultures. Examples that are known often seem to be fragments of the seven-note Western diatonic scale.
Heptatonic scales are especially prominent in the world's art-music traditions. The tone systems of India, Iran, and the West are entirely heptatonic, and seven-note scales are also present in the art music of some cultures that do not use such scales exclusively (e.g., the ritsu scale in Japan and the pelog scale in Java).
With some exceptions in both the distant and the recent past, Western art music has been based largely on one heptatonic scale, known as the diatonic scale. The origins of this scale can be traced to ancient Greece, and it has been formulated to some extent according to acoustical principles. Since the octave in Western music is normally divided into 12 equal half steps, the characteristic intervals of the diatonic scale can be constructed upon any one of the 12 pitches. Such transpositions of the scale are known as keys.
Before the 17th century, as many as 12 different mode permutations of the diatonic scale were in common use, but only two modes—now called major and minor—have been in general use during most of the past 300 years. The diatonic scale itself consists of five whole steps (W) and two half steps (H), with the half steps dividing the whole steps into groups of two or three. The major scale uses the sequence W–W–H–W–W–W–H, as shown in the first of the following examples, while the intervals in the minor scale are W–H–W–W–H–W–W, as in the second.
In actual music the minor scale is usually altered in one of two ways to create greater emphasis on particular pitches. In the harmonic minor scale (the third example shown) the seventh note is raised one half step, and in the melodic minor scale (the fourth example) both the sixth and seventh notes are raised by one half step in ascending patterns while they are left unaltered in descending patterns (the fifth example).
In the 19th and 20th centuries, composers made increasing use of pitches lying outside the diatonic scale, and that tendency stimulated the development of a variety of novel scale systems as alternatives to the diatonic scale. Principles for composition within the chromatic scale (consisting of all of the 12 half steps within the octave) were first articulated by Austrian-born composer Arnold Schoenberg early in the 20th century. Other scales have also been employed on an experimental basis. The whole-tone scale (comprising six whole steps) was used prominently by French composer Claude Debussy and others, especially in France and England. Microtonal scales, requiring intervals smaller than the conventional half step, also appeared sporadically in the 20th century. Among microtonal structures, the most important, perhaps, have been scales calling for quarter tones (equal to half the distance of a half step).
Other uses of the term scale
The word scale is sometimes used to describe musical passages consisting of a succession of consecutive scale degrees in ascending or descending patterns. It is also used to describe scalelike exercises that are practiced for the development of technical proficiency on a musical instrument. Scale can refer in rare instances to the ordering of some musical element other than pitch. An example is the term Klangfarbenmelodie, used in some music to denote a carefully arranged succession of different tone colours.Jerald C. Graue

The City That Built Norman Foster
The HSBC Building under construction
It was a typically busy morning at Chek Lap Kok. Thousands of passengers swarmed beneath the vast sweep of the airport's white roof, duty free bags in hand, squirming children in tow. The line for Starbucks inched ever longer. Yet a cool tranquility reigned over the terminal. That was especially true inside the first class section inside Cathay Pacific's Wing lounge, where besuited travellers rested against a Carrara marble bar, gazing out to a row of jets sitting idle on the apron. Beyond that, the mountains of Lantau rose against a grey sky.
When the airport first opened, Cathay's flagship lounge was one of the boldest and most intriguing in the world, with an unapologetically minimalist design by British architect John Pawson – one far removed from the wood panelling and grandfatherly armchairs of most airport lounges. Fifteen years of wear and tear meant it needed an overhaul, and the architecture firm Cathay chose to oversee the redesign was a natural fit: Foster and Partners, the same practice responsible for the airport itself, which opened in 1998. "The airport looks fresher and more modern than many airports built in the last five years," says Cathay executive Toby Smith, who oversees the airline's product offerings.
Airports are some of the most loathed spaces in the world: crowded, confusing and beset by increasingly onerous security restrictions that make them feel like some unholy cross between a shopping mall and a prison. But even after a decade and a half of intense use—nearly 60 million people passed through last year—Chek Lap Kok is praised for its durability and, even more importantly, its usability. "It's absolutely efficient," says architect Eric Schuldenfrei, who travels frequently for work and conferences. "Even aesthetically, the airport feels light, and the materials are good, so it won't age badly."

The original hierarchical data file consisted of 21,737 records. The original hierarchical file has, however, been replaced by two rectangular files of which 7,969 are respondent records (one record for each sample woman) and 13,768 are interval records (one record for each closed pregnancy (completed pregnancy) interval reported by sample women).
Data for CYCLE I, 1973 (ICPSR 7898), CYCLE II, 1976 (ICPSR 7902, 8181), CYCLE IV, 1988 (ICPSR 9473), CYCLE IV, 1990 TELEPHONE REINTERVIEW (ICPSR 6643), CYCLE V, 1995 (ICPSR 6960), and CYCLE VI, 2002 (ICPSR 4157) are also available from ICPSR.
For certain variables, the variable names that appear in the data differ slightly from the variable names given in the original codebook. For example, variables A_1 and A_5B_1 (Respondent File) in the original codebook appear as A1 and A5B1, respectively, in the data.
Codes for variable E26 are undocumented in the original codebook. However, the codes for values of 1 (Yes) and 2 (No) are defined in the original questionnaire. Since yes/no questions follow the same coding scheme, ICPSR has added labels for codes 7 (Refused), 8 (Don't know), and 9 (Not ascertained) based on the assumption that E26 also follows the standard yes/no coding scheme.
Please see the employment codes listed in the 1980 U.S. Census section of the original codebook) for the value labels for the following variables found in the Respondent File: F7, F9, F32_33, F63_64.
For variables MC_2A through MC_9A, there are not value labels for codes greater than 500. Codes between 616 and 720 represent cases for which two birth control methods were used during the same time period. Codes between 816 and 920 represent cases for which two birth control methods were used in sequence during a particular month.
For variable F22_1CM there exists a code which appears to be out of the normal range: '9999999'. There are 6 cases for which a code of '9999999' is given. Code '9999' is a valid code for this variable, representing "data not ascertained". The original codebook has 31 cases for which '9999' is given as a response. In the data, the code '9999' is given as a response only 25 times. It is possible that the codes '9999999' were incorrectly coded and were meant to be '9999' (the sum of the two would provide the 31 cases that responded '9999' according to the codebook).
The following variables have an implied decimal point: AGEDISS, AGEREMAR, AGEDD1, AGECON1, AGEBABY1, FINALWT, FMAR1AGE, MAR2P, and NONRWT (Respondent File) as well as AGEPREG (Interval File). Please consult the codebook for additional information regarding the placement of the decimal point for these data.
Inapplicable responses were originally coded as blanks. However, due to certain limitations in SAS, SPSS, and Stata these have been converted to system missing. As such, the inapplicable statements, originally found in the value labels have been moved to the question text that accompanies the ICPSR Variable Descriptions and can be found in the codebook.
Apparent inconsistencies among related variables result from the use of different items on the questionnaire to define certain concepts. See the section of the original study documentation entitled "Data Quality" for additional information.
Data variables are often given as century months. For additional information on how century months are calculated please refer to the "Date Codes" section of the codebook.
In the processing of this study, the original column locations (from the NCHS version) were changed. Throughout the original ASCII data file there were blank columns that served as "Fillers". These blank columns were not maintained resulting in different column locations for the majority of variables. Please disregard the column locations in the original codebook as they no longer apply to the ASCII data file being released with this study;
In the latest update to ICPSR 8328, version 3, the widths of the following variables were augmented in order to accommodate the missing data codes; none of the data was affected as there were no cases with missing data: B12_2, B16_2, B16_3, B17_2, B18_2, B18_3, PCT_A, B54_5, B55_5, B54_6, B55_6, B54_7, B55_7, MC_1A, D6_2_3, D8_2_2, D8_2_3, D12_R, D12_H, CH_5, and POVERTY.

Paolo Di Canio wants the Swindon hierarchy to honour his players for their FA Cup third-round victory over Premier League Wigan at the County Ground.
Goals from Alan Connell and Paul Benson earned a 2-1 win for the npower League Two outfit after Callum McManaman had handed the visiting Latics a 34th-minute lead.
"My lads today deserve something from the club - to do something and put their names in the stadium," said Di Canio. "Normally you do this when you win something important, but I don't want a big statue. Maybe just a small plaque with all their names because they did something special."

Named by Time magazine as one of the six most influential jazz artists of the 20th century, legendary music producer Quincy Jones has spent more than 60 years in the entertainment industry working with America's greatest musicians including Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, among many others. Jones is one of the most decorated entertainers of his time, garnering 27 Grammy Awards, a record 79 Grammy nominations, seven Academy Award nominations, a Tony Award nomination and an Emmy Award.
Sir Michael Caine is an Academy Award-winning actor and is most noted for his roles in The Cider House Rules, Miss Congeniality and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. He won an Oscar for Supporting Actor for his role in Hannah and Her Sisters in 1986, and then again in 1999 for The Cider House Rules. Jones and Caine share a birthday and the Power of Love Gala will be the third time they have joined forces to celebrate.
In keeping with its 16-year history, Keep Memory Alive's Power of Love Gala will include a celebrity-chef dinner, a one-of-a-kind live and silent auction, and a night of star-studded performances. The funds raised by the annual gala support the mission of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health to enhance treatments and research for Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders.
The evening's festivities will begin with a Dom Perignon reception, followed by an extraordinary dinner prepared by superstar chef Gordon Ramsay and Wolfgang Puck with his team of chefs, remarkable auction items, and spectacular live entertainment with Greg Phillinganes as music director.

I was wondering what stitch length everyone uses when machine quilting.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was wondering what stitch length everyone uses when machine quilting.
Don't take my word for it since I've only done it once, but if your feed dogs are down, you pretty much determine the stitch length when you move the fabric around.
Thanks you. I think I need to clarify abit. I was wondering about when you stitch in the ditch or go from corner to corner.
My machine's default setting is 2.5 and that it was I use when piecing and stitching in the ditch.
I always set a slightly longer stitch length than I would normally use for sewing. My machine measures stitches with 5 being the longest and 1 the shortest, I use about 3 for stitch-in-the-ditch quilting and topstitching. Depends on the thickness of what I'm sewing.
Here's a website about stitch length.
I set my Janome at 2.6 for machine quilting wiht walking foot..
I use the same size as when piecing. On my machine it is slightly less than 2.
I use a walking foot and increase my stitch length to at least 3...sometime a little more depending on the fabric. Otherwise my quilt will sit under the presser foot and get stitched to death in the beginning of the seam.
I use a 2.5

maybe a little before maybe a little after but the first time i saw bim 1 saw him as plain as i see you standing there mr blakesford had come before her and was mantling very still now she sits up

mr blakesford ?" sin has not a relative living and mr blakesford made this answer his v<uce seemed to him to come back front mne immeasurable distance the waves "' air heating and pressing against his

ffeeka wen returning and arranging iiciiiselves iii his memory there was &» denying the fact that for this time there bad been something about faith which had surprised and worried him a cloud over the horizon of their happi ness in the gray light of which he had been groping after tlie lost sunshine in vain to noble natures nothing is harder than to allow the possibility of change towards us in the affection of one we love if even when the young minister found ; his betrothed pale silent and distraught the possibility that she loved him less j truly than she had at first supposed she did crossed his mind he banished the fear ; with a keen sense of disgrace in having allowed it to rise unworthy of her he ; knew he was but then but then after | all bow little that tells he had ques i tinned her with regard to the school did that annoy her .' no it was phasantcr than ever and the improve ment more marked had mrs deacon ' hatch made ber another troublesome call .'" no mrs deacon hatch had given her up and was keeping her phials of wrath well corked forthe ministers wife his every attempt to cheer her and divine just what and where the trouble lay had failed and he had settled down to the un comfortable conclusion that faith knew and felt more deeply his own half-eon sciously eeeognized disapprobation of her course in connection with parish matters than be had supposed this he could not i help and he strove by greater kindness ! and more heartily-expressed trust to bridge over tue dissatisfaction if that is uol too bard a name for his state of mind until having made her his wife he should have less fear of being misunder stood but now sophronia kipp's story ex plained the whole and what an explana i tion to accept . that she had no relative | living faith had often assured him — no relative bul how in that western life j about some lover could it be that there had been some previous engagement all knowledge of which shehad kept from him and that she had been sought and found and did not know how to free herself from j the entanglements that surrounded her when we reach heaven we shall undoubt edly lind ourselves auioug beings so p '- feel thai it will be one of our greatest joys never to fear or find a blemish but ! alas for our angels here so often so very often they flutter from us with broken .'. ings henry blakesford ashamed to doubt faith's love for him — sure that some thing had gone wrong with her bewil dered and uncertain came suddenly to •< suspicion which once indulged grew even moment into more and more ofa i certainty until bc found himself summing no every look ami word and deed of faith's and arraiguing them in dreadful array against her strange as it may seem through all this process he did not l nibt her love for him he knew that his own love was only the brighter for being tried by this lire but the dreadful accusa tion was thai at some time in her life there had been an experience which she dared uot reveal to him a dark spet on the raiment of his peerless one which she would hide from his sight the more mr blakesford indulged this thought the more bewildered ttnd unhappy he became until beseemed to himself to have losl his hold upon everything and to be dropping away into a dark and i perilous sea without even a helm to guide ; bim i will go to her these were the lirst words he spoke he looked at his watch she was still in ' school she trusted with the education ! of the young people his affianced wife \ faith halstead he repeated her name j over slowly time afier time almost as if he expected ir would answer for her and explain away the change but stay in '■his study he could not even through : the open windows the air seemed to con line to choke him so he went out for a long swinging walk over the near high bills perhaps he thought indistinctly to : himself cod may be waiting up there to j soothe and comfort me mr jones saw him going by the corner grocery and dropping in tin-smith's shop be remarked : i jest see our minister streaking away out of town to the mountains i griess it ain't much of a sermon we shall get next sabbath suppose now i should leave my shop who would tend to my business if i don't i should like to know .'" but perhaps god was waiting for liim there and mr jones purblind as so many of us are never dreamed that the mountain should become to his pastor what sinai did to moses that amid the thundering and lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and tlie very thick dark ness there should be written for him a new law and that when god had thus talked with him from heaven he should build an alter unpolluted by any tool and the sacrifice that he should bring to law upon it would be the choicest burnt offerings when mr blaksford came back from his walk he went at once home school was out he knew very well faith halstead was in lor own room he had sometimes dropped in there for a moment when he was returning from his noon stroll but he had found now before he could see her he must take time and prayerful prepara tion as he entered his study be saw in note from her waiting for him inside he read : do not come to-night lam not well f h a subterfuge " lie said to himself her visitor comes again and now be began i for the first time to think of the parish in i connection with this and the terrible par j ish scandal it would cause others be | sides sophronia kipp must know of these j visits soon if they did not now let me do him tlie justice to say lhat his first thought was of her how could he shield her how warn her that she had been watched and all was known ! so to her he could not write to her i was a beggarly way of meeting an ex | tremity send through sophronia kipp for one moment he thought of but only i one and yet he felt keenly that not an hour was to be lost to-night would bring another visit and a new chance for ex posure and disgrace if mr blakesford had not been himself but some one else he might have thought i of and done a great many things which r did not occur to him now but by nature reticent and proud by grace anxious that his ephod should be made only of gold ol blue and of purple of scarlet and line twined linen with cunning work deeply and nobly in love with faitli halstead j he was hedged in others might probably ! would have forced their way out without ' a tithe of the difficulties which beset him | lie saw hour after hour slip away saw the gray shades of evening begin to creep up over the town the lights to twinkle out in one house after another and he j knew as these slow hours drew thein , selves so painfully along what they were bringing over and over in his mind rang sophronia kipp's parting words god comfort you my poor young pastor i am so sorry for you there was some thing painful in them to liim now why not sorry for faith halstead — how much more she needed the sympathy and help than he did .' why bad uol sophronia kipp gone to her instead of coming to iiini . w'h-it was the reason women were so seldom willing to help each other where the question was of one's reputa talion .' — indeed in his grief he was bit ter enongh to wonder if she had not en joyed this piece of gossip but this was a passing worried thought : miss kipp had done herself justice and he felt it sleep of course he could not when the time for rest came to go to bed would be to augment the excitement and worry of his condition with only a vagne idea that in some way lie must be near iter musl see and know foi himself the truth of tiie story — he went out as the clock struck twelve and walked slow-'y towards her house he never th"'<giit that he might meet some oftb parish who would wonder at seeing liim hover in around her at this time of tbe night in forgot even mis kipp who was not less likely to be vigilant but he went through one tree after another yearn ing as a great wounded heart only can yearn for some proof to be vouchsafed to him tliat it all bad been only a hideous dream he should lind her room dark she would be sleeping that pure dream less sleep which the good godsends to his beloved hut in her window burned a lamp ami he could see that the shade was partly lifted ma g_i ■■falling in love there is nothing — no moral or intellect ual phenomena more strange than fall ing in love what is it whence it ori ginates ; how it is brought about ; those things aie among the hidden mysteries of nature a girl has reached the age of eighteen ; a young man that of twenty-one they ha\e lived at home traveled a little pursued their studies ; attended parties and been a good deal in society of other young people ; yet they never took a very deep interest iu anything in particular neither of them ever eared wry much for any other person they meet and lo ! of a sudden all is changed ! each sees the other in a dif ferent light from what any other was seen in ; the world seems changed life itself seems changed their whole being is chang be like what it was again nevermore love is often as sudden as this but not always sometimes it is of very slow growth persons have know each other foi years and been mnch in each other's society and been intimate all this time but never thinking of a tie stronger than friendship when some incident or event — a tempor ary parting or the intervention between them of a third person friend or stranger reveals to ihem for the first time the great truth that they are mutually in love vet this love springing up gradually and imperceptibly is no less mysterious and unfathomable than that which is sud den and at first sight it is not mere friendship grown strong it is a more absorbing more violent more uncontrollable sentiment whether a person can fall in love more than once is a mooted question some people appear to fall in love many times it is not unusual to see widowers who marry again and seem to love the second wife as well as the lirst make no expense but do good toothers or yourself that is waste nothing uncertainty of wj.hes i respect the man says goethe who knows dis tinctly what he wishes the greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims they have undertaken to build a tower and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary for a good fence wall it is an exact description of most men's strivings every man undertakes to build his tower and no one counts the cost ways to success over fifty years ago a youth working on a farm asked his father to give him money enough to buy a gun the

afforded by a country blacksmith's shop he bad not the materials to make a lock and stock so he walked to the nearest town and traded for the necessary attach ments and was encouraged by the smith for having made so good a shooter this give him ambition to make another so he went to cutting oil grindstones from the native rock to raise money for gun ma terials in a shod time there was a con

It can usually find and identify failed RAM in fifteen minutes (two hours at most). The EDAC patches to the kernel aren't that great about naming the correct memory rank, though.

Italians. Good at pizza. Not so good at tornadoes. Just watch this video and judge by yourself.
Clearly, they certainly don't have as much experience with tornadoes as people in places like, say, Texas. Which explains why they kept filming and screaming like morons even while that gigantic tornado was definitely going in their direction. And they kept waiting and waiting and waiting until it was almost too late and I was screaming "YOU IDIOTS, STOP FILMING AND GTFO!"
Fortunately (maybe? The Darwin Awards would not agree) nothing happened to them. [Facebook]

Warner Pulls Out of YouTube
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Music
Say goodbye to seeing Madonna, James Blunt and Sheryl Crow on YouTube. Warner Music is pulling all their publishing rights content. The company was the first in September to offer the site music videos, behind the scenes footage, interviews and original programming. The problem seems to be a monetary one as Warner had apparently been asking for upfront funds, a share of ad revenue and per stream fee. We guess YouTube said no.

35mm Photography: Dead II
A Suitably gruesome way to mark the end of my two week series!

I'm a CG artist working just outside of London, specialising in finding innovative and creative ways to represent unusual types of information through the use of computer generated animation and art. This approach has seen me creating animated short films as well as site-specific installation using projection mapping. My animated work has been featured on dozens of high-profile websites including:
Short of the Week, Vimeo Staff Picks
and even the late, great Roger Ebert's website.
In 2012 I delved into the world of film photography with no previous experience, and have been happily photographing on analogue formats ever since. When I'm not making animations, I'm probably out taking a photograph.
This blog covers just about everything you'd want to know about my creative
endeavours: past, present and future. Check out the links below which will take you to my various creative and social network pages.

When the new Jetta hit the headlines, we took one look and decided the blubbery sedan needed some help. So we turned to you for inspiration, to see what you'd do to rescue the car from tuning obscurity.
The good news is, it appears that with the right set of wheels, proper suspension and some body additions, the Mk6 isn't a lost cause. Your entries have proved that beyond doubt.
The concept behind the challenge is that we provide a photograph and you get busy with Photoshop or other manipulation software. You're free to add spoilers, different wheel, stickers, new backgrounds, etc – whatever you feel will best improve the new Jetta. Obviously, it's just for fun but we do reward our favorite entry with a pair of very cool FIA-approved Pro Spec 1.0 driving shoes from DC Shoes courtesy of Ken Block.
So back in eurotuner magazine issue 9/10 Volkswagen of America kindly provided this photo. You then had several months to work on your masterpiece. As in previous Challenges, the kids from Quartz Hill High School in Lancaster, CA participated. However, teacher Mike Mitsch also persuaded his colleagues from Knight High School and Lancaster High School to also take part, with a T-shirt awarded to the best school entry as means of encouragement for their studies. You can see the entries here at www.eurotuner.com With around 130 submitted, it wasn't possible to print them all in the 3/11 issue of the magazine, so we placed the entire gallery on the website. As for our top entry, we selected Joshua Cloud's bronze Jetta for its perfect execution and incredible sense of reality despite some significant changes.
Josh is the lead designer with the Gurnade Design Firm. He lives in Columbus, OH where he teaches photography at the Ohio State University. His vehicle was painted in a custom Vibrant Copper Metallic available on the new Volvo S60. He also added a molded, custom lip kit and side skirts, graphics package, Forgestar F14 wheels and Recaro seats. It's been lowered on coilovers and Josh explained his goal was to create a daily driver, suitable for both track and road driving. We must also give a special commendation to regular entrant Austin Beebe from Redmond, WA. His Jetta coupe with pulled fenders on air-ride with VIP-style wheels was so good we sent him a T-shirt in recognition of excellence.
Our favorite High School entry was by Luis Ascencio from Quartz Hill, although we also liked the clever Cars movie interpretation by O Gonzalez from Lancaster. Jonathan Hawken and Spencer Williams from Knight as well as Devon Mendez from Quartz Hill were also popular choices.
As we said, you can see every entry (including those we didn't have space to print) here at www.eurotuner.com
To everybody who entered (and those who wish they did), look out for the Photochop Challenge 11 in the next issue of eurotuner magazine (4/11).

The autumnal weather, with more frequent rain and the vacillation between warm days and cool, plays with the light and colour of the land, creating a beautiful canvas. So too, I find the bracing breezes of the Fall make me feel glad to be alive, and the landscape makes me feel deeply connected to the past. I hope you enjoy this journey I call 'Earth and Sky', and that viewing these peaceful settings brings warmth your way.

Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo is just about finished with the documentary honoring his idol, Jaco Pastorius, and he's ready to share a bit of the film with a crowd that would truly enjoy it — the audience members at this weekend's Bass Player LIVE! bash in Hollywood.
Back in May, Trujillo revealed that he was financing the project on Pastorius, who is considered one of the most influential bassists in music history despite his battles with mental illness and his death at an early age. Trujillo said at the time, "Jaco was my hero growing up. Hearing him was like hearing Eddie Van Halendoing 'Eruption' for the first time. You thought, 'What instrument is that?' I love jazz fusion and branched out from there. But Jaco had an edge that far exceeded his jazz persona. He was funk, he was rock, he was soul, and his whole attitude was punk."
Trujillo has created a specially-edited advance clip of his documentary specifically for the Bass Player LIVE crowd. In addition, Pastorius' family will be on hand to accept the bass great's posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony.
Other honorees at the two-day bash (Oct. 20-21) include Yes' Chris Squire and Bob Marley's Aston "Family Man" Barrett, who are also receiving Lifetime Achievement honors. Both musicians will perform during tonight's concert and appear at the live clinic for interviews.
The weekend will also give bass players a chance to check out the latest in gear and watch a few clinics, with Anthrax's Frank Bello, Megadeth's David Ellefson, Whitesnake's Marco Mendoza all on hand to take part in the exhibitions.

4 Common Reasons for Not Collecting Debt:
- Insufficient knowledge about your creditor before opening an account facility for them.
- Would you lend monies to someone you know nothing about?
- Have you used a credit agency to check your customer's ability to pay?
- Did you know you can do this through the EC Credit Control?
- Customer goes into receivership /liquidation
- Have you used the PPSA legislation to become a secured creditor?
- Did you know you can rate above the ATO for payment by a liquidator?
- Are you aware that it costs as little as $39.00 to become a secured creditor?
- Did you know that EC Credit control offers this service?
- The customer just keeps telling me they will pay but doesn't. I am tired of chasing them
- You don't have to chase them; leave that to us.
- Would you like to get a resolution of the debt within 28 days?
- Would you like to free up your time and get busy with making money?
- Would you like to impose penalties on those customers that don't pay?
- Did you know as a customer of EC Credit control we can help you collect debt efficiently?
- It's too expensive to chase debt?
- Do you realise how expensive it is not to chase the debt?
- Why should you do the work, pay labour and materials and not get paid?
- Do you realise that the majority of EC credit Control's customers pass all costs on to the debtor and can charge interest and administration fees to the debtor?
Now is the time review your current credit management process.
You do not want to be writing off unnecessary debts this time next year.

The talk about the Orioles' interest in Diamondbacks outfielder Jason Kubel is again gaining steam, and executive vice president Dan Duquette will always inquire about a power bat like Kubel, who hit 30 homers last season and averaged 25 homers his past four full seasons.
But the Orioles won't trade away a significant piece and assume Kubel's contract unless they're sold that the 30-year-old slugger will make them dramatically better in 2013.
And they're not convinced.
Kubel's name previously came up during the winter meetings, but the teams couldn't find a fit then. The Diamondbacks' demands might have come down since they're really looking to move either Kubel or outfielder Justin Upton, but the Orioles still feel that Kubel's trade price is more than they're willing to give up.
Once the Orioles re-signed former Gold Glove outfielder Nate McLouth at the winter meetings, the acquisition of Kubel – who isn't known for his defense – would mean that he'd see most of his at-bats as a designated hitter.
The Orioles already have a DH who hits right-handed pitching well in Wilson Betemit. And while Kubel's power numbers are better, Betemit and Kubel have identical .268 batting averages and .334 on-base percentages for their careers.
Last season, Betemit and Kubel had identical offensive WARs (1.3). And Betemit even has a better carer average and on-base percentage against right-handed pitching (.281/.349) than Kubel (. 279/.343).
In some ways, the Orioles would be better served to obtain a DH candidate who hits left-handed pitching well. Duquette has trumpeted Danny Valencia, a career .316 hitter against left-handers, for that role but by no means does he have that job.
The Orioles would also have to make at least an $8.5 million commitment to Kubel. He makes $7.5 million next season and has a $7.5 million club option for 2014 with a $1 million buyout. Also, keep in mind that Duquette never inquired about Kubel last offseason when he was a free agent.
More than likely, this has more to do with the Diamondbacks than the Orioles, Arizona is determined to move either Kubel or Upton, and the Diamondbacks are making strong moves to gauge the trade value of both before making a move.
