Mordin - Old Blood part 2
Walkthrough - Mordin - Old Blood part 2
Chief Scout: At the location marked Chief Scout on the map the game provides for you, you'll find -- huge surprise -- the Chief Scout of Krogan defenses here at this particular location. The gun turret he's manning (and the empty one next to him) are used to kill rodents, namely monkey-like creatures called Pyjaks. Indeed, if you spoke with Ratch back at Ratch's Wares and agreed to help him with his Pyjak infestation problem, you'll need to use the gun turret here to complete the side quest he gives you, one called Tuchanka: Killing Pyjaks (more information on that can be found in the Side Quests section of this guide). Otherwise, you can speak with the Chief Scout about his job, what he does around these parts, and the general state of disarray on Tuchanka, including the fact that there's a lot of inter-clan fighting between Krogans. When you're done speaking with him, you can move on. (The scout here is also associated with a side quest called Tuchanka: Old Blood: Missing Scout... remember that for later.)
Just north of the Chief Scout, you'll find a rare sight indeed. A Krogan mechanic is working on one of their vehicles, and though he has his back turned towards you, you can still speak with him and engage him in conversation. This is one gruff, sarcastic and entirely unpleasant Krogan (well, they all seem to be that way, actually). He'll talk to you a bit about how he's working on a vehicle that his fellow Krogan messed up on one of their expeditions. Specifically, a combustion manifold has been lost, and the vehicle he's working on won't function without one. If you want to help him out, agree to do so. This will unlock the side quest called Tuchanka: Combustion Manifold. More information on it can be found in the Side Quests section of the guide.
Med-Lab: You can visit the Med-Lab for multiple reasons, but primarily, you'll want to go there in order to speak with another rarity, a Krogan scientist. This guy's name is Fortack, and he means business. While he is indeed an ingenious Krogan scientist, he also has a one-track mind. Fortack is all about making weapons, bombs and the like for his Krogan friends to use. And he makes it pretty clear that he wants his weapons to be used, not just created. Once you finish that rather disturbing conversation, you're free to explore the rest of his medical facility. You can find a kiosk, which will allow you to browse Fortack's items for sale. You can even find a Pyjak in the corner that you can punch into oblivion. Go ahead, give it a try!
As you head away from the Med-Lab so you can explore the eastern section of the map, you'll likely come into a makeshift pit in the ground, with a computer terminal directly in front of it. This is a little optional aside. If you're feeling lucky, you can place bets here on randomized Varren fights-to-the-death. We bet four times and lost all four times, so it's unclear whether or not this is entirely fixed, randomized, or just very much against you, but nonetheless, you may want to visit this location to see what it's all about, if you're feeling up to it that is.
Shaman: At the location marked "Shaman" on your map, you'll find two characters of interest, though neither will have anything to say to you for the time being. You'll still want to keep this location in mind, as it will come in handy in future endeavors. You'll find a Shaman, a Krogan holy man, who won't speak with you at all. And then you'll find a Krogan named Nathorth. He won't have much of anything to say to you either, though he has a fairly important role, as he is the intermediary between this clan and a female clan that deals with the Krogans surrounding you. Interesting way the Krogans have their society setup on this inhospitable world, no doubt.

Nashville's Centennial Sportsplex Scores Higher Efficiency with New Boilers
Nashville's Centennial Sportsplex Scores Higher Efficiency with New Boilers
The Dr. Thomas F. Frist Centennial Sportsplex in Nashville is a state-of-the-art multi-fitness, recreation and sports facility operated by Metro Parks, the City of Nashville parks and recreation department. The complex houses an Olympic-sized swimming and diving pool, multiple tennis courts, a fitness center and two ice arenas, one of which is used as the Nashville Predators practice facility.
When it came time for a boiler replacement, the Metro Parks department worked with Lochinvar to determine the ideal solution for the facility's unique needs.
"Based on the setup of the building, we recommended replacing the facility's two existing boilers with a two million Btu/hr CREST Condensing Boiler (FBN2000) and a 1.5 million Btu/hr Power-Fin Boiler (PBN1500)," stated Jeff Vallett II, product manager for Lochinvar.
The fully modulating CREST features a stainless steel heat exchanger and a patent pending dual-system burner design. With thermal efficiencies as high as 99 percent and up to 25:1 turndown, the Metro Parks team could clearly see the energy savings that the boiler upgrade would offer the facility.
"Once we heard about CREST's impressive feature set and highly efficient operation, we were on board with Lochinvar's recommendation," said Kenneth Jones, Maintenance and Repair District Supervisor for Metro Parks. "We also knew the Power-Fin would be a solid addition since it's been an industry icon for more than 20 years."
The CREST's touchscreen SMART TOUCH control made system set-up quick and easy, as well as simplifying ongoing operation and data retrieval. The new boilers carry multiple loads - heating the building, dehumidifying the ice arenas and heating the swimming pools.
"With the complex requirements of Centennial Sportsplex, we needed a boiler system that offered efficiency, durability and ease of operation," added Jones. "Since installing the boilers, we have seen significant energy savings and could not be more pleased with the performance of CREST and Power-Fin."

Happy New Year's, everyone!
Is your 2015 off to a good start? Make any big resolutions? Or, like me, did anyone choose a word to help define the new year? For anyone interested, my word for 2015 is "dare". (And bonus, we're kicking off a series of monthly dares on the blog and would love to have you join in this January as we are daring to move in the mornings. You can read about it here!)
Well, whatever your plans for the new year may be, I figure we're all going to need some protein-packed meals to make 'em happen. So as is my tradition here on the blog, we're kicking off this January with an entire month of healthier recipes on the blog. I have a bunch of quick and easy weeknight dinners ready to share with you, some winning game-day appetizers, a few healthy snacking options, and — yes — even some healthier desserts. So if one of your goals for the new year is to spend more time in the kitchen, let's do it together!!
To kick off the new year, I thought I would start with a simple sweet and savory meal that's sure to please a crowd. And since it only requires about 20 minutes of prep and cook time, I'd say it's sure to please the cook as well. It's sauteed, not fried. It's naturally sweetened with honey. And it is crazy good.
I'm calling it Skinny Honey Lemon Chicken.
Actually, this recipe is a follow up to the wildly-popular Skinny Orange Chicken that I posted last New Year's Day on the blog.
It's basically a quick chicken stir fry that is tossed in a naturally-sweetened honey lemon sauce. I kept it simple with just chicken, and served it over protein-rice quinoa instead of rice. But this recipe is meant to be more of a "base" recipe, and is perfect for adding in your favorite vegetables, or some cashews, or substituting in any other proteins that might sound good.
To make it, begin by marinating some chicken with some soy sauce and rice vinegar. (If you are making this gluten-free, be sure to use GF soy sauce.) Then saute it up, while whisking together the ingredients for your sauce. Transfer the chicken to a separate plate, and then cook the sauce until it's nice and thick. And then toss it all together.
And then you can serve it however you'd like! I was craving traditional rice, so opted instead for some protein-rich quinoa. But you could serve it over vegetables, noodles, in a salad, or whatever sounds great.
Feel free to also adjust the sauce to your desired level of sweet-and-sour-ness. Everyone has different preferences with lemon and sweeteners, so once you have made the actual sauce, feel free to add in extra lemon juice or honey to taste.
All in all, it's a quick, flavorful, easy, and healthier base recipe that I love tinkering around with. So play with it and make it your own, and hopefully can serve as some delicious fuel for the new year.
Cheers to 2015!
This Skinny Honey Lemon Chicken recipe is quick and easy to make, made naturally lighter and gluten-free, and it's absolutely delicious!
Combine the chicken, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar to a large ziplock bag, and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
When you are ready to cook the chicken, drain and transfer it to a separate plate. Season the chicken on both sides with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. And in a separate bowl, whisk the honey lemon sauce ingredients together until combined.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute for 5-7 minutes or until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside, stirring and turning the chicken occasionally for even cooking. Transfer the chicken to a separate (clean) plate with a slotted spoon.
Pour the (whisked) honey lemon sauce into the empty saute pan. Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce reaches a low boil and thickens. Add in some sriracha if you would like for extra heat, to taste. (Feel free to also season with extra salt and pepper, or extra honey or lemon.)
Add the chicken back into the pan and toss until it is evenly coated with the sauce. Remove from heat and serve the chicken immediately, topped with optional toppings if desired.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Yahoo Inc. climbed Monday after Alibaba, the Chinese tech powerhouse in which the U.S.-based Web portal owns a huge stake, said it has begun the process for a much-awaited initial public offering.
Yahoo US:YHOO, which owns a 24% stake in Alibaba, rose 4% to close at $39.11. On Sunday, Alibaba said in a statement that the company "has decided to commence the process of an initial public offering in the United States."
"This will make us a more global company and enhance the company's transparency, as well as allow the company to continue to pursue our long-term vision and ideals," the statement continued.
Alibaba added that "should circumstances permit in the future, we will be constructive toward extending our public status in the China capital market in order to share our growth with the people of China."
"We respect the viewpoints and policies of Hong Kong and will continue to pay close attention to and support the process of innovation and development of Hong Kong," Alibaba's statement said.
The reference to Hong Kong follows reports that Alibaba had a disagreement with Hong Kong's stock market related to the way the company wanted to structure its IPO.
In a blog post in September 2013, Alibaba co-founder and executive vice chairman Joe Tsai said the company "proposed a governance structure that would enable Alibaba's partners — key people who manage our businesses — to set the company's strategic course without being influenced by the fluctuating attitudes of the capital markets so as to protect the long-term interests of our customers, company and all shareholders."
"We understand Hong Kong may not want to change its tradition for one company, but we firmly believe that Hong Kong must consider what is needed in order to adapt to future trends and changes," Tsai added.
Yahoo's gains set the pace for a tech sector rally as the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.83% added 35 points, or nearly 1%, to close at 4,280. The Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index US:MSH and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -1.06% were each up more than 1%.
Google Inc GOOG, -0.60% rose 1.7% to close at $1,192.10 while Hewlett-Packard HPQ, -0.65% climbed 1.4% to close at $29.48 and Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.48% gained 0.4% to close at $526.74.
On the downside, LinkedIn US:LNKD slipped 2.5% to close at $191.81 , while Juniper Networks JNPR, -0.38% dropped 1% to close at $25.36.

Charm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 84 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
The Reception Search site helps venues market themselves as reception venues online. We are not a bridal website, however our audience are mostly newly engaged couples in the 25-35 age group. We are an Australian site and our natural ranking in Google means we pick up most newly engaged internet savvy brides as soon as they are engaged.
We are redeveloping our website and want a new logo to reflect our clients and audience's requirement for clear and clean communication. The site's main function is to present information to them in an 'easy to sort' fashion that allows our visitors to short-list venues efficiently.
Target Audience - Recently engaged couples
Aged 25-35
Internet Savvy
We require unique, fun, memorable creative, while maintaining a professional image. We want to strike a balance between venue and bridal orientation.
1. The logo should be developed to suit our new website's look and feel we would like to include it in an overall masthead design.
2. Must look good in the size allocated to the logo on the site (main use is online) 232 pixels wide by 90 pixels high and must be easy to read.
3. Develop flavcon utilising icon/graphic from logo/or develop a complimenting flavcon.
Things we like
Princess Diana's emblem on her note paper. The D has a crown on it. Would like a similar with the R of Reception Search and a tiara or wedding veil (see accompanying image for Diana design).
Colours scheme: Anything that compliments the new site colour scheme.
IDEA: Perhaps the first 'e' in receptionsearch.com.au could an 'online' orientated 'e ' (see attached image) and perhaps it could spin slowly. This is only an idea, we are no completely wedded this concept (pardon the pun).

For the last few weeks, in a hectic stretch of qualifying races akin to college basketball's March Madness, the world's top thoroughbreds have battled to join an elite field that will run for the Triple Crown.
First stop on the trail is the Kentucky Derby on May 4. Then it's on to the Preakness on May 18, and the Belmont Stakes on June 8.
No horse has won all three races since Affirmed in 1978, the longest such drought in history. Last year, I'll Have Another came close, winning the Derby and Preakness before getting scratched from the Belmont with an injury.
Now speculation has begun about the 2013 crop of 3-year-olds: Do any have what it takes to capture horse racing's ultimate prize?
The horse that has attracted the most buzz so far is Verrazano, named for the bridge that links Staten Island and Brooklyn. His trainer and owners kept him out of competition until January, an unorthodox strategy that has rarely produced a champion. But the colt has triumphed in all four of his races, including a triumph at the Wood Memorial on April 6 and an earlier win by more than 16 lengths at the Tampa Derby. His keepers say he's capable of more extraordinary performances.
"The horses that look really special right now that could be superstars tend to be the undefeated horses," said Steve Haskin, a senior correspondent at The Blood-Horse magazine.
That's one of the reasons why Verrazano tops many lists. But there's also something racing enthusiasts call "the Apollo curse," named after the last horse to win the Derby despite never having raced as a 2-year old. That was in 1882, and Apollo's name has since been invoked as a warning against taking a similar risk.
Haskin pointed out another historical obstacle facing Verrazano. "Only two horses have won the Kentucky Derby with as few as four starts in the last 93 years," he said. But those two horses, Animal Kingdom in 2011, and Big Brown in 2008, raced recently.
Another favorite is Orb, who as of mid-April was tied with Verrazano in a newly devised points system that will determine the Kentucky Derby lineup. Orb beat another Derby contender, Itsmyluckyday, in the Florida Derby. Behind Orb in the Road to the Kentucky Derby standings is Goldencents, part-owned by Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino and trained by Doug O'Neill, who also handled I'll Have Another.
Also in the mix are Revolutionary, who shares a trainer, Todd Pletcher, with Verrazano, and who won the Louisiana Derby last week.
Pletcher could have as many as five horses running in the Derby. That list also includes Overanalyze, Palace Malice and Charming Kitten.
Other early favorites include Java's War, Oxbow and Vyjack, who was treated for respiratory problems in the weeks before the Derby.
But early is the key word in this discussion. Just because a horse has done well at this point in the season does not guarantee success in the Triple Crown races. And there are always horses who wait until late to establish themselves as serious contenders.
Case in point: I'll Have Another. At this time a year ago, few casual racing fans had heard of him. He first caused a stir at the Santa Anita Derby a month before the 2012 Kentucky Derby. He ended up a near-legend.
"In many respects this is the most exciting time," Eric Wing, a spokesman for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, said. "From Jan. 1 on, it's a big soap opera, with twists and new developments, 'This horse looks good,' and then, 'Oh not so good,' and then another horse emerges from nowhere."
In other words, any one of them could end up a Triple Crown champion.

It's a rare phenomenon when any song—even a huge hit—has such emotional power that it affects people worldwide for generations. Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" accomplished that feat, sending ripples around the globe that are still present today. Within a month of its release in January 1970, it sailed to the top of the Billboard charts and stayed there for six weeks. The album of the same name topped the charts for 10 weeks in the United States, and 33 weeks in the United Kingdom. To date the album has sold 25 million copies around the world, with 5 million purchases in America alone. In February 1971, it also won four Grammy Awards.
In the intervening four-plus decades, more than 200 artists of various styles and ages have recorded or given high-profile performances of "Bridge." Singers covering it early on included Aretha Franklin, the Jackson 5, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Elton John, Whitney Houston, and dozens more. More recent renditions by younger artists include those by David Archuleta, Josh Groban, Clay Aiken, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Leona Lewis, and Charlotte Church, to name a few. Artists from the United States to Sweden to China have performed it. The December 9, 2004, issue of Rolling Stone which profiled the 500 greatest songs of all time, ranked "Bridge" at number 48.
Typically, a hit song involves extramusical factors that can't be predicted by label execs or radio promoters that contribute to a song becoming such a massive success. Occasionally cultural resonances and societal issues combine with the effect of a magical marriage between music and lyric to deeply touch millions.
When "Bridge" hit the airwaves, American society was in turmoil over the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia, which was spilling out in protests onto America's streets. The quiet assurance of Simon's lyrics delivered in Garfunkel's sometimes gentle, sometimes soaring, tenor to the accompaniment of Larry Knechtel's gospel-infused piano also subtly connected to the period's racial struggles and to the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968. The turbulent decade of the sixties that had witnessed the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy had just come to a close. For millions, "Bridge" served as a musical emollient for life's public and personal struggles.
More Than Music
All this is epilogue, though. Aiming for the song's ultimate effect is more than even a songwriter of Simon's caliber could hope for in writing it.
Simon has told interviewers that he knew immediately that he had written something special, something exceeding even his high standards. He has cited the rendition of the spiritual "Oh, Mary Don't You Weep" sung by Reverend Claude Jeter and the Swan Silvertones as providing musical and lyrical inspiration. The line in the spiritual, "I'll be a bridge over deep water if you trust in my name," reveals the connection.
In the video the The Harmony Game, Simon speaks briefly about the simplicity of his lyrics mentioning these:
When you're weary, feeling small/ . . .
When evening falls so hard, I will
comfort you.
He recalls thinking, "It's too simple. But of course, that's what made it so universal." Throughout, Simon used phrases that many would offer as comfort.
The melody is one of Simon's best, extremely sing-able and catchy. The first half of the verse hovers around a G above middle C. In an interview, Garfunkel stated that in an early take, he was not singing the octave glissandi in bars 15 and 43. Simon rightly asked him to put them back in, restoring one of the song's first melodic hooks. The melody is long for a pop tune, with the last line of each verse, "Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down," always sung twice. The intensity increases each time the melodic action goes up an octave.
The third verse introduces the trademark two-part harmony that Simon and Garfunkel (S&G) were known for. Simon has said that he always felt that the lyrics to this verse didn't fit with those of the first two. Its first line, "Sail on silver girl," probably sounds more oblique or exotic to listeners than what Simon told one interviewer he was writing about. He said once that it referred to his first wife (Peggy Harper) discovering her first gray hairs.
In bar 80, as the production builds toward the climax, Garfunkel sings forcefully. He hits the song's tessitura (an Ab above the staff) in bars 89 to 91, and both the instrumental and vocal parts arrive at the song's emotional peak.
The Sessions
During the summer of 1969, S&G were staying in Los Angeles when Simon completed the music and two of the verses. All the duo's previous music was guitar based, but Simon envisioned this song with piano accompaniment and a gospel feel. The duo worked closely with studio musician Larry Knechtel for two or three days to get the piano part into shape. As Knechtel was recording his part, both Garfunkel and engineer and coproducer Roy Halee told Simon that the song should be bigger and that it needed a third verse. Simon protested, saying it felt like a "little hymn" rather than a big song. But ultimately he acquiesced to Halee and Garfunkel. Knechtel added an extended turnaround and a third verse. Simon wrote the lyrics for the new verse in the studio, which was atypical for him.
In addition to Knechtel, S&G brought in studio drummer Hal Blaine and bassist Joe Osborn to record the instrumental track at Columbia's Gower Street studio in Los Angeles. At the time, those three musicians were known as the "Hollywood Golden Trio" for the many hits they'd played on, and were a subset of the larger collective of studio aces called "The Wrecking Crew." Osborn played two electric bass parts. Blaine did not play a full drum kit, only select drums and cymbals.
While much could be written about Art Garfunkel's stunning vocal performance, what was most striking was the astonishing vocal depth and power he displayed on "Bridge." In most of the early S&G repertoire, he often laid back, singing beautiful high harmonies. Even in his featured solos (such as "April Come She Will" or "For Emily Whenever I May Find Her"), his voice had a primarily airy character. S&G had emerged during the 1960s folk boom. While many great singers worked in the folk style at that time, it's hard to imagine any of them delivering as dramatic and powerful a performance as Garfunkel's on "Bridge."
While recording in Los Angeles, S&G sang together at the top of verse three and got a good take. During those sessions, it was agreed that Garfunkel had nailed the vocal performance for the rest of the third verse—the most dynamic and emotional section of the song. He would record the first two verses later in New York. In many interviews, Garfunkel has said that having finished the climactic verse first enabled him to better shape the arc of the song by understating the first and second verses.
In Michael Hill's liner notes to the 2011 commemorative Bridge album reissue, Garfunkel recalls that it was easy to sing the second verse, ramping up the intensity leading to the final verse on which he'd already pulled out all the stops. But the first verse had to be a contrast, really delicate, and that challenged Garfunkel. "After about eight sessions of trying to get the first verse right in its extreme delicacy, I had to take a break," he says. Garfunkel left the studio on Manhattan's 52nd Street and walked to St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue and sat in one of the pews for an hour. "I invoked the larger powers, then went back to the studio and got it."
The Score
The production of the nearly five-minute track demonstrates ultimate restraint, building slowly and deliberately from beginning to end. As the score shows, the piano is the only accompaniment instrument for the first minute and a half, from the introduction through the first verse and turnaround to the second verse (bars 1 to 36)
Knechtel plays a masterful intro—majestic from the first chord—that quickly sets the gospel tone. It's replete with gospel chord movements. In the second half of bar 2 through bar 4, he plays a bass line rising from the root of the IV chord (Ab ), up to a C7 chord by employing a series of unresolved secondary dominant chords. The A diminished chord on beat four of bar 2 moves deceptively to the I chord in second inversion. That I chord becomes a dominant seventh that also moves deceptively away from what the ear anticipates, to what sounds like it will be a V7/ii. But instead of going to the ii chord (F minor), that C7 resolves deceptively to the IV chord.
During the last two beats of bar 4, the Ab chord changing to Ab minor, further mines the gospel style. For the last four bars of the intro, Knechtel plays a tonic pedal note on an Eb and the chords above change from Eb to
Eb 7 to Ab . The final plagal cadence (from IV to I in bars 8 to 9) provides more of a church feel, and sets the stage for Garfunkel's vocal entry.
Throughout the verses and piano interludes, Knechtel provides a full accompaniment that's confident, relaxed, and has a solid groove. It's the perfect example of a well-crafted accompaniment capable of carrying the song and serving its needs without showboating. He inserts a gospel flair on walk-downs from the IV chord to the I, and then from the I down to the V chord as found in bars 16 to 17 and elsewhere. He continually varies the texture in the right hand, with long chords at the top of the verses and a mix of quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes depending on the level of intensity needed. He adds variety juxtaposing rolled and block chords and brief pianistic flourishes as seen in the interlude in bars 31 to 36.
To add spring to the rhythm, Knechtel inserts occasional syncopations in the left hand, playing double-dotted quarter and sixteenth notes (bars 12, 15, 27, 28, 39, 68, and so on), and in other places dotted-eighth- and sixteenth-note rhythms (bars 21 to 23, 40, 48 to 49, and 88). After dominating for nearly the entire song, the piano part thins out considerably, passing the baton to the strings and percussion to carry the coda (bars 94 to 99).
The production begins its slow and subtle build at the top of the second verse. Simple chordal pads played on vibraphone broaden the instrumental texture and add a shimmer to the mix. It should be noted that transcribing music from a song's full mix (without access to the stems) is not an exact science. What's notated on the score is what is perceptible in the mix. It's possible that more notes on some instruments are present but masked by other instruments or by the reverb. The vibes part is a case in point. The vibes enter quite noticeably and then recede in the mix. In bars 37 to 42, I hear triads, but the part is heard intermittently beginning in bar 41, and alternates between triads and two-part chords from bar 43 forward. It sounds like an organ is quietly doubling the vibes in bars 67 to 69. (The very last notes of the song as the strings fade are those of an Eb triad played pianissimo on the vibes.)
Toward the latter part of the second verse (bars 49 to 59), both the vocal and the piano become more animated and dynamic. The ebb and flow of an extended interlude (bars 59 to 69) sets the stage for the entrance of the rest of the instruments. In bar 64, the sustaining strings and a very quiet, processed snare drum enter.
The bass makes its appearance in bar 66. Two basses are clearly heard on the right and left sides of the mix. The first enters with high notes in bar 66, and a lower bass slides up to an Eb in bar 68. The overdubbed, high bass part may appear again later, but if it's there, it's not audible enough to be notated.
Hal Blaine didn't lay down a typical drum groove but played the components of the kit in a quasi-orchestral style. Both contemporary and more recent interviews with Simon and Halee indicate that they did a lot of experimenting to achieve the desired effects on the drums for the Bridge album. Each drum sounds as though it's on a separate track; the reverb and delay settings vary for each. The snare drum has three different sounds. For the heavily processed snare tracks, I've used an X for the note heads (beginning in bar 64). I've used the same for the processed snare that has a slap echo (see beat 2, beginning in bar 79). The echoed note is in parentheses. On beat 4 of bar 79 a more natural-sounding snare is written with a standard note head, and its echo is in parentheses. While the drums play only in the last third of the song, they add tremendously to the drama—especially the cannonlike hit on a low tom or bass drum in bar 94.
"Like a Pitcher of Water"
In a Rolling Stone interview with Jon Landau in 1972, Simon recalled that he did not like the first version of the string arrangement for "Bridge" and asked for revisions. The late Ernie Freeman, who wrote and conducted the strings, had misunderstood the song's name and came to the sessions with his score bearing the title "Like a Pitcher of Water." Finding this both irksome and slightly amusing, Simon had the score framed and hung on the wall of his apartment after the session. Simon told Landau that ultimately, the string arrangement "did the job it was supposed to do, which was to expand the record tremendously."
Freeman, a seasoned pop arranger, understood where the strings should lay back and where they should come forward. The strings enter with chordal pads (bar 64), and break the texture to double and amplify short piano melodies in bars 70, 72, and 77. A long, sustained note on Bb above the staff begins to build the drama in the violins (bars 78 to 81). In imitation of the vocal melody, the violins drop from the Bb to a G on beat four, bar 81. A sixteenth-note triplet run at the end of bar 82 leads to a sequence of high triads that build further intensity.
Seizing a spot for the strings to break out, Freeman wrote a series of quarter-note triplets in octaves for the violins that foreshadows Garfunkel singing that rhythm in bar 90. I made an educated guess that the violas play the lower notes of the high triads appearing in bars 83 through 99. At first glance, the spacing between the cellos and the violas seems very wide. Given his experience writing string charts, Freeman would have known that anything written in that middle range would likely get lost in the mix. Pop songs typically have lots of other sonic information in that register.
The string arrangement and the song end with the cellists emerging from the mix in bar 94 with a passage mildly reminiscent of orchestrations George Martin penned for the Beatles. The cellos play three bars of running eighth notes alternating arpeggios and scalar runs before landing on a final Eb chord.
In his autobiography The Soundtrack of My Life, legendary record executive Clive Davis recalls that, after first hearing "Bridge," he insisted that it be issued as a single. This surprised S&G because it bucked the trend in radio in 1970, which was moving away from ballads and toward the heavier sounds of Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. "When you've truly got a great song, a potential all-timer, that trumps all the rules," Davis wrote. History proves he was right.
Examining the score, it's hard to account for the amount of texture, color, and powerful emotion coming from just voice, piano, bass, percussion instruments, and a string section. The musical skeleton of the song is laid bare in this score, but still, it only shows the components of the structure. A score can't indicate the innumerable musical subtleties, inflections, and other intangibles that make this recording so compelling. It's the sum of all of the parts that assured "Bridge" a place among the iconic entries of the Great American Songbook.

The Nanaimo Museum in British Columbia has opened a new exhibit centered around the regional history and folklore of camping.
As reported by the Nanaimo Daily News, the exhibit is a nostalgic look at how people took to the great outdoors in the days before bring-it-all-with-you travel trailers and RVs. Much of the displays were donated by locals, and museum curator David Hill-Turner, has even brought in and set up his own 1970s-era pup tent.
"I was a budget camper," laughed Hill-Turner, who said the exhibit explores the world of camping from the 1800s up into the present. He said most of the portable ultra-light equipment we are familiar with today didn't come onto the market until the 1950s and '60s.
A cast-iron camping stove with chimney that appears almost child-sized sits in one corner, a far cry from today's propane-portable standards. There is a variety of other tents, a small tin cookware display, a mesh metal campfire popcorn popper, a display case filled with a variety of cooking stoves, and an exhibit of oil lamps and portable lighting devices that explore the variety of pre-lightbulb and battery-operated options.
One wall tent, modeled on what people used in the 1800s on into today, is made from canvas and would have been lashed to small cut trees and waterproofed with linseed oil, said Hill-Turner. It was contributed by Bill and Donna Sainsbury, whose current camping practices actually extend back as far as the history of their tent.

Missing details
There are some things that I think would have been extremely helpful to add in this article, primarily relating to iptables. For example, in Routing_the_LAN_of_a_client_to_the_server it might have been useful to say, "do something like iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j SNAT --to 10.4.4.30" rather than "Use the iptables NAT feature to masquerade the IP packets."
I think more handholding would help this article a lot--it certainly would have helped me figure this out much faster. If no one disagrees, I'd like to add several sections on appropriate iptables rules to add. Buhman 17:11, 9 April 2012 (EDT)
- No objections, all constructive contributions are welcome, just remember that an article shouldn't be just a list of instructions: "handholding" is fine as long as it also explains why something needs to be done, so in your example above the existent sentence should be kept and your iptables line should be presented just as an example. -- Kynikos 08:46, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
- To be honest, I think this article, the way it is now, uses way too much handholding. (I liked it more the way it was [1] ). It have things like: "Edit /root/easy-rsa/vars and at a minimum set the KEY_COUNTRY, KEY_PROVINCE, KEY_CITY, KEY_ORG, and KEY_EMAIL parameters (do not leave any of these parameters blank)", instead of just "Edit /root/easy-rsa/vars according to your preferences"
- Maybe the solution could be the path Beginners' Guide and Installation Guide took; One, super handholding-type guide, and the other as a checklist-type guide... hmm, maybe I'll write such article Chrisl (talk) 18:48, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- I have some time to work on this again (vacation), hopefully I'll get at least some more stuff done. If someone wants to add iptables instructions please go ahead. There is some preliminary stuff that Kynikos uncovered :) Too much, too little handholding, it's hard too say, and it looks like opinions differ. Maybe let me be verbose and then try to tighten it up and remove unwanted verbosity? jhernberg 21:50, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
In any case, the article still needs a lot more information about the various ways that openvpn can be configured, and any help would be very much appreciated...:) jhernberg 21:55, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I have created the checklist-type article, is here: OpenVPN Checklist Guide Right now, it has lots of things of the old openvpn article, but shorter. The idea is that it have links like "click here to see more details" pointing to the section of a full article explaining something, to avoid repetition. I must add that I think this way is more KISS. Chrisl (talk) 04:55, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Link to upstream document instead of duplicating
This page is already a little long. OpenVPN has lots of good document here. It is better give some entry point and link to the upstream document instead of duplicate info here. After all, it is Arch Wiki, not OpenVPN wiki. -- Fengchao (talk) 03:38, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Using openvpn scripts to set promiscious mode (and ipforwarding)
To me it appears a bad idea to use scripts to do this, as a server might conceivably have it enabled for other reasons than openvpn. Personally I'd be inclined in having the administrator hard code such changes to the system. If no one objects, i'll remove the accuracy template. Who knows maybe it could be added to a tips section or as its own entry. -- Jhernberg (talk) 17:10, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- Have removed the accuracy template from the main page and put it here. Additional reasons to the above is that upstream has by default disabled scripts for security reasons, also the configs in this article drop root privs again for security reasons.
L2 ethernet bridging
I was going to add this information today, but realized that there have been so many changes in the init system, and that network configuration has gotten a lot more complex. I need to figure out what set of scripts to use to create the bridge interface, at the moment I'm inclined to go with the netcfg scripts. Any opinions? -- Jhernberg (talk) 16:40, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Firewalls imo are really out of scope and would make the article even longer.. Any opinions on what and how much to add? Maybe something simple like these iptable rules:
-A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth+ -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -j REJECT
But then how much of a disclaimer would one write as someone could compromise the entire corporate security plan with an insecure nat translating VPN...
Proposed sections for future expansion of the article
Removed the stuff I had parked here. At the most it will become a tips and tricks section with links to the official documentation...
Using resolvconf with user nobody
user nobody
is used in the client's config, the update-resolv-conf on down fails, because it is executed as nobody.
Using openvpn-down-root.so could be used as a workaround:
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-down-root.so "script_type=down /usr/share/openvpn/update-resolv-conf"
Connecting to vpn server from Android
I recommend using OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe which give allot of detail that can help troubleshooting. The ovpn file with embedded keys & certificates need to be used, See a proper example in the the link bellow. The reduced privileges won't work on android and also "key-direction 1" should be added. Server side configs are the same as in the wiki. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6902100/archlinux/openvpn/client-empty.ovpn --Dhead (talk) 22:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Venezuelans cast ballots in Boston
Chavez heir or fresh start?
Trucks blaring bugle calls woke up Venezuelans in a traditional election day get-out-the-vote tactic by governing socialists.
Here in Boston, Venezuelan nationals didn't need a wake-up call. They stood in line outside the Venezuelan embassy on Boylston St. to cast absentee ballots.
Voters are deciding on who will replace the late President Hugo Chavez. Chavez died of cancer on March 5 and his anointed successor, Nicolas Maduro, is counting on a high turnout by the poor.
Maduro is favored but polls have showed challenger Henrique Capriles gaining in the past week on the strength of discontent with the state of the economy, rampant crime and chronic power outages outside the capital.
"Voting is all you can do," one visitor to the embassy told WCVB's Liam Martin, when asked if he thought the election would be fair.

Sony's PlayStation Meeting on February 20 will be live-streamed over the Internet, Sony has confirmed to GameSpot.
The World will witness the coming of the new Messiah
good that this isn't a closed meeting, we can see the first PS4 games after just 2 weeks
Stocks up on chips, pop corn and grape soda! I can't wait!
hell yeah grape soda !!1
I'm so hyped right now. I hope we see a Jak and Daxter Game.
why would people dislike this , Jak and Daxter is Amazing and thats FACT
Xbox & Nintendo fanboys upset that the PS4 announcement is coming.
Because that's an opinion. Just like I said "Ni No Kuni" is the best JRPG this gen on PS3.
You are going to see people agree or disagree with me, nothing wrong with that.
If Sly 4 sells good enough Sony could handle the Jak and Daxter franchise over to Sanzaru games.
A little slow there GameSpot? I got an email from Sony the day of the announcement of this event talking about the live-stream. Surely lots of other people did too.
I don't know why, but I never get the "cool" emails from them anymore. I used to all the time, but I didn't even get the "see whats coming" email this time. All I get now are Store updates two days after it updates, or advertisements to games.
I'm hardly ever selected for a beta unless I do something extra lol, and I've had an account with their site since PS2, and a Ps3 account the first day it launched.
I don't always get them, I'm usually in the same boat as you even back when I was in Playstation Underground but I get lucky once in a while lol.
How is this news? PS Blog provided links to live-stream webpage along with the teaser.
"LGC 2013 is the only conference where you can get the full picture of how games publishing is evolving."
The conference will be called 'Games: The Next Generation, London Games Conference 2013'.
gettin' warmer
Isnt Microsfot giving more info about Illumiroom at that event? I saw it on their main page on their site about it. It would be at some london event, the same one if I recall.
@ Person below, yea what if it wasnt at first? Like if Sony planned something and they are reading the internet going "wtf, this aint ps4...they keep saying ps4!! Crap, alright...frik, uhhh, screw it, Jack we need the ps4 specs finalized.now...no I mean NOW!!!" XD I'm ready, are U E?
With this much hype Sony better announce ps4 or a lot of people will be disappointed, including me. So many people will be watching, if they don't announce it that would be the biggest ball drop of all dropped balls in ball dropping history!
Your last sentence made my balls drop.
It was listed on the blog that it would be live streamed. GS alittle slow out the blocks.
Can anyone think of any possible announcement that would warrant an announcement of the announcement, live streaming an event they didnt last year and all this secrecy about "the future".
If its not PS4 I'll be astounded.
I am Ordering pizza that day, imagine if it isn't the Ps4.
I'll imagine you'll still be eating your pizza, first world problems.
Yes of-course.
I am ordering Pizza Hut just for that comment, you commie bastard.
2 weeks left, and then afew days after that, we're getting Playstation destination. Its playstation month baby!
I wonder how much PS4 will cost... -_-
I think Sony will go with 2 different models for launch. A basic version for about 300-399$/€ and another version with a bigger hard drive and some other goodies (PSPlus, Game, additional Controller) for 400-499$/€. Of course it's just speculation but I doubt that Sony will go above 499$/€.
I can even see the PS4 cost over $800 but I bet they will set the price at $600 again.
And a sku that will cost $400 (maybe $450) with less features "basic"
It will launch with Motor Storm, Battlefield 4, A superior vertion of GTA5, new COD, some jrpg, FiFa, maybe PES, a new ubisoft IP maybe osiris, i hope for TLG, two good psn games, another racing game and that's all I can think ..
But 2014 will start with the new GG ip, GT6 prologe, Sucker Pounch new IP, Bungie new IP, maybe Reaspanw new IP, mlb, Another COD, Osiris 2, a new ghost reacom, 1313, wicher 3, Dark souls 2, MGSgz, watch dog, few rpg's, jrp's, elder s., few move games, 2 good psn games, all the sport games, a ufc and boxing game, a resident evil game(maybe for 2015). That's all I can think of..
Well then, if this isn't next gen related, it may just be the most elaborate case of 'trololage' this generation.
I am hoping the ps4 will have siphon filter 4, just cause 3 and killzone 4 for launch!!!
With the amount of exclusives on PS3 this year, Sony has to do a good line-up on PS4 to hope to sell more PS4 than PS3 ^^
Maybe just me , but i'm excited about next-gen Fifa games because Fifa is one of those games that makes giant leaps every generation .
implements a match-fixing mode for authenticity
I don't think there's gonna be PS4 news from Sony. It's too early to me. I think there will be a PS3 price drop.
So how is a price drop related to "Future of Playstation"?
Well a PS3 price cut will happen sometime in the future too lol.
Price drop might occur as well but investors are there so they're going to need to see something they can invest in.
The fact that Sony announced this live stream is telling....if it's anything other than even the slightest PS4 news, I will be surprised.
I don't expect a media blow out...but some concrete information would be nice...all this rumour and conjecture is killing me softly ;)
guys i know some of you refuse to think that this meeting will be about the next PlayStation console; you all may hav your reasons and i can respect that.
But i will say this, the ps4 will be announced towards the end of the conference and just like the last ps meeting which took place in tokyo. Sony will show a big list of publishers signed up for ps4 development and over a 100 games will be confirmed to be in development.
I say this because to Sony PlayStation meetings have become much more important than the old e3 expos which they will likely use to showcase a few new games sequels and new ips.
Remember the vita was announced in a PlayStation meeting, and later showcased at an e3 where it didnt get as much attention pass say...bioshock vita announcement.
The londom event will be huge as well, given that the ps4 will be on the market by then but not yet in europe. To add to this, the ps4 wont be backwards compatible like some dream it to be, rather theres a rumor going around suggesting that games like beyond two souls and the last guardian will see two different versions, that being a ps3 and a ps4 version. in essence what we are seeing with the vita and ps3 is what we are likely to see with the ps3 and ps4 going forward until Sony stops making ps3s.
The ps4 will be talked about for sure.
I have a feeling that the main focus will be center on the social experience and the new controller playing a key role in all this.
I am just hoping things like voice msg, xchat,party ect are all prsent or atleast talked about so that the fanboys could finally shut up about it.
Ofcourse i can be wrong about all this, but thats just my two cents on the matter. given everything thats been hinted thus far.
Alright, that this is good news to me, Im pretty sure we'll be able to stream it on Sony's own website.
Gotta be sure to bookmark the page with the live-stream link once we know where it is and stay tuned at 2300 hours GMT.
dammit, it will be 6:00 am feb 21 in my country that day, oh well, i known that i'll getting sick on that day and take my day off from work
The PS4 will have a touch screen controller.
My question is, how responsive are the PS4's touch screen controller is compared to the wii U's touch screen game pad?
why are you asking a question no one on this site can answer yet? how about you asking that question when gamers get their hands on the system? common sense.
Actually I was being sarcastic. My Bad.
Oops didnt get the sarcasm, sorry lol, well i think rumors are saying the it will be the same technology used on the rear touch pad on the vita so it should be as responsive as the vita.
Something tells me you don't actually know what sarcasm is.
i will be working that day so i wont be able to watch it live but im pretty sure it will hit youtube the same night.
Yeah, same here. I believe the touchpad will mainly serve as another input, one which can be use for the web browser. And ultimately bring that vita ressemblence and feel to a greater audience.
I also feel that the share button would be for more than just sharing videos. Maybe this will play some kind of social role like say near does with the vita, like notifications and updates on friends and the like.
But really who knows.
So 20th Feb
Pizza check
Popcorn check.
Hard on check
Bucket for drool check
Woman to her mothers check
I hope they but the live streams on the PS US/EU blogs it be easier to find
Well one thing is for sure, it's going to be one LAGGIN SOB Live Stream just like the rest. lol Needless to say, though, I'm still going to be there =)
Feb. 20th can't get here soon enough.
Hope we get a price and release date.
My prediction is September for $500 US.
On Feb 20 history will be made. So pedal to the metal, Sony are locked and loaded!
Can't wait for the festivities. I wonder how much we'll actually get to see. I don't think they need to show too much on the 20th. I think we'll see the system/controller and some sort of graphical demonstration, along with general announcements like 3rd party studios working on it. I would save any huge game announcements for June. IMO.
I keep coming back to that little doubt in my head that it might not be the PS4...
It must be..right?
you really think Sony would do all this just to announce some new games and Gaikai? They made a teaser trailer, a website for fans to subscribe and get the latest info as fast as possible for an event where they are inviting the media, investors, developers and are even going to stream the thing for fans to watch. I mean... What else could it be that it is so big for Sony to do all this?
Sony Live stream sound's AWESOME to me! Must say it's got to be somethin Major for a Live stream. psn: cedaridge / xbl: cedar4Thunder
This is like the finals and E3 is OUR (gamers) Super Bowl!
so pumped for the 20th.. I hope they show it
Thats just fantastic! It starts on the 20th which is a lab day for me and starts at 6pm!! my lab starts at 6:15pm! It's like sony tailored this event so that I wont be able to see it live :/
I hope I don't have to log in to Home to view the event. That was a total waste of money for Sony, btw. ...unless of course they are making money out of it.
thnk god for the next gen, aside from sony exclusive, no other games are improving, i want next gen fifa asap.
Where can I stream the news on febuary 20 about the ps4?

Rated 3 out of 5 by PRaphael from Good knife, but probably not the best choice Kikuichi makes excellent knives. But this one is an unusual choice. It's a yanagiba, very specialized for slicing sashimi, but has features that limit its appeal in this purpose. The ginsan-ko steel is stainless. Most sushi chefs prefer carbon steel blades, for their ease of sharpening. Ginsan steel can take an edge that's almost as fine as the best carbon steels, but it is very challenging to debur the edge. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do not buy this knife. A ginsan yanagiba might appeal to a chef who works in a very corrosive environment, like by the sea. Otherwise, there would be few advantages. The 240mm length is also curious. Most pros prefer 270mm or 300mm in this style knife. If you're a beginner looking for a yanagiba, spend 1/3 this price on an entry level, 270mm white #2 steel yanagi. Buy it from someone who has an in-house knife master who can dress the bevel for you and give you some advice.Date published: 2017-01-14

- Develop your own materials that effectively convey your message.
- Do not form groups or develop websites or blogs that give the impression that they officially represent or are sponsored by the Church.
Personal Internet Use in Church Callings
When used appropriately, electronic communication, such as e-mail and Internet postings, can help Church members coordinate the work of the Church, strengthen faith, and minister to the needs of others. However, electronic communication should not replace opportunities for in-person contact, such as interviews and stewardship reports.
The following guidelines apply if you create a personal website or blog or use other Internet tools as part of your Church calling:
- State that it is not an official Church website.
- Include your name and contact information as the person responsible for the website.
- Refer, as appropriate, to your calling and the name of the Church, along with the name of the local unit and organization in which you serve. However, do not state or imply that the website or the information is sponsored or endorsed by the Church.
- Place links, as appropriate, to official Church websites on your personal websites. These links may contain graphics with Church logos. However, do not imitate or use the Church logo in other ways.
- Obtain proper permission before using artwork, music, or other materials if permission is not indicated on the website you take it from.
- Understand and comply with privacy laws in the area where you live. Privacy laws typically require that people be notified and that they grant express permission before their personal information may be collected, shared, or used in public settings.

You can access these websites using your LDS Account user name and password. To create an LDS Account, go to ldsaccount.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
Members may contact their ward clerk or an assistant ward clerk and request that their information not be included in the directory on the ward website or in directories that are produced from it.
Church Websites
There are many official Church websites available to help individuals and families learn, live, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. These sites offer a variety of resources for personal and family needs as well as for specific Church callings. ChurchofJesusChrist.org, mormon.org, store.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, and familysearch.org are examples of official Church websites.
Avoid Internet Dangers
When using the Internet and related tools, protect yourself, your family, others, and the Church from the dangers found online. Some of these dangers include viruses, spyware, and other malicious software; identity theft; and pornography. Other Internet dangers include incorrect and misleading information about important gospel principles, excessive time spent on the Internet, and misrepresentation of people's intent and identity.
Internet filtering reduces but does not eliminate these risks. Ensure that computers and devices connected to the Internet have proper protections in place. Protections include antivirus and anti-spyware applications, content filters, and other security tools. Internet safety may also be increased as family members help one another. Consider the following suggestions:
- Place computers in commonly used areas of the home.
- If you use e-mail or social media sites, consider establishing accounts on a family basis, rather than for each individual.
- Actively monitor website access to help family members remain safe.
- Discuss Internet and media safety with children from an early age.
- Be alert and aware of media that enters the home through computers, mobile media players, and mobile phones.
- Share access or passwords to private e-mail and social media sites with your spouse.
- Talk to your stake technology specialist for other suggestions and advice.
