The fascinating music project by Serbian sound artist Lukatoyboy continues in Amsterdam. Musicians are invited to play "blind" solo performances mixed in invisible "blind quartets"
The idea behind the project is simple. Each artist records one take in a small, basic studio while imagining playing in a quartet. A portable 4-track cassette recorder is provided for musicians (established, amateurs, first-timers…) and/or singers (writers, spoken word artists…) performing "blind", without knowing what the three other members of the "quartet" would be. All four channels are successively recorded live on a 10 min tape, before a quartet is ready and blind-mixed.
Belgrade sound artist Luka Ivanovic, a.k.a Lukatoyboy explains the magic of creating an ad hoc on-the-spot band recording on an anachronic medium such as the cassette tape: "For kids, this could be a unique way in creating an object which maybe only some of them remember – and for the older generation, a reminder to a format which they used in the past. It brings a special chance for amateurs, bedroom musicians or even first-time musicians to appear on a same release with established artists."
The tapes are released as a limited edition series on the Blind Tapes label, usually later in the day of the recording, or the day after.
After touring throughout 2010 and 2011 in Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Hungary, Blind Tapes arrives in Amsterdam for a one-day residence at Otopia Festival, organised in the former squat turned multimedia cultural centre OT301 on Saturday, September 15. The recordings will be held in Studio 1, on the second floor, from 12:00 to 17:000.
If you wish to sign up for performance, send an email to email@example.com
A guide to Blind Tape Quartets recordings:
A 4-track tape recorder will be ready for your 10-minute performance.
There will be a microphone and a line input option.
You will be unaware of the people who played before, or will be playing after you.
One day after the recording, a recorded cassette would be put on sale as a limited edition.
– bring your own instrument (if you don't have one, bring whatever you can – we can mike it, and there will be some small instruments to try)
– imagine that you are playing in a quartet, but you can't hear others while recording your part
– think about your dynamics as a part of a quartet
– silence can be a special friend this time. not everyone should be playing/talking/singing all the time (but the risk is up to you)
– if you are an electronic musician, try limit your output to a certain instrument, not the final mix (maybe you will not be the only one electronic musician in a quartet)
– if you are a writer, a singer, or a voice artist – prepare the text which can fit in 10 minutes

I have had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend but its been very quiet! Seren went away with her daddy to Barmouth and won't be back until Sunday. It's always nice to have a break but after the two days she is normally away I feel so alone!! Will be glad to be back at work Wednesday as hopefully the days will go by quicker as they seem to be dragging lol!
Friday night I went for a lovely curry and a few drinks around Newport, Shropshire and spent Bank Holiday Monday in the pub with a friend for a lovely meal and drink which I haven't done before on a Bank Holiday Monday and really enjoyed it as it did take my mind off Seren not being here.
Also totally lost my mojo recently hence why there has been only my DT cards on my blog. Just cant get motivated at the moment. Think also its because my craft room has most of my clothes in bags in there as I am in the process of awaiting new bedroom furniture and only have my old bed in the bedroom. Should be next week that it all arrives though :-) Hopefully once I get my clothes moved out I can maybe get back to entering some challenges.

MAGICAL MONDAY - Sketch Time
I had a really enjoyable Saturday night when I went to a Greek restaurant in Wolverhampton to celebrate my ex-husbands' cousins 40th birthday! Its a real shame most of her friends left before the most exciting entertainment began as no photo's were taken but both myself and his cousin had to dress up as bellydancers - my outfit I could only describe as minimal lol! It consisted of a sequined bikini top and traditional long skirt - god if only my mom could have seen me lol! We were both dancing on the tables but did get a free cocktail for doing so!!
Anyway less of my weekend and onto this weeks Magical Monday Challenge which this week is a lovely sketch created by out very own Heidi.
Anyway less of my weekend and onto this weeks Magical Monday Challenge which this week is a lovely sketch created by out very own Heidi.
We are being sponsored by Crafty Emma's Store who is offering a £10 store voucher to the winner.
Here is what I have created
I have used a digi image available from Cuddly Buddly called Twinkly Fairies Hello My Friends and coloured her in with promarkers and Sakura glitter pen on her wings. I cut out with my plain circular nestie and pieced onto a scallop circle nestie. The dp used is from Stampin up called Pink Passion. The dp is from Papermania Henbury Lane paper pack. I used my Martha Stewart Arches punch for the fancy edging, pink ribbon from my stash and pink gems from Hobbycraft. The sentiment is from craftworkcards.

For my creation I have used Crystal Fairies 2 which is available for download from Pollycraft and coloured her in with copics and used Sakura pen on her wings.

To create the banners I used my Whiff of Joy Pennants die cut and added stickles around the edges. The sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs pieced onto a scallop circle cut out with my SU punch and added stickles around the border. The flowers are wildorchidcrafts and the pink gems were from Wynneth.
I have also seen that this also fits the challenge over on I Love Promarkers which has a theme of Things With Wings.

Intel i5-2500 3.3GHz LGA1155 Sandy Bridge CPU Review - Final Thoughts
- Details
- Written by Evan Hiner on April 22nd 2012 at 4:54pm
Final Thoughts
Before we go farther, we must state that the i5-2500 is and awesome chip: it's fast, it's efficient, runs quite cool, and also allows us to undervolt to 1.00V at 3.3GHz, which is impressive. However, the i5-2500K, which has been wildly popular, only carries a $10 premium, is slightly more efficient and cooler, and has fully unlocked overclocking features. The i5-2500 is limited to a top-end overclock of 3.8GHz, a relatively meager 15% on a Sandy Bridge platform with great overclocking potential. Ignoring potential sales, rebates, or other incentives which may subsidize the cost of the i5-2500, it's a tough sell alongside its unlocked brother, the i5-2500K. If the price gap were around $20-30, and you don't plan to overclock past the 3.8GHz capability of the i5-2500, it then becomes substantially more appealing.
The overclock to 3.8GHz yielded us about a 5.5% increase in our Far Cry 2 benchmarks, which aren't insignificant, and a 13.3% boost in raw computation score in the PCMark7 Professional Benchmark Suite, which aren't insignificant, but undoubtedly feels a bit held back, like a high-performance car with a governor on it. For only $10, the i5-2500K offers the full performance, without any limitations.
If you're looking for a processor for a folding or other distributed computing machine or for an HTPC, the i5-2500 series provides an excellent choice, especially with the undervolting capabilities. 1.00V operation at stock speeds surprised us, as that's about as low as we were able to achieve at 2.8GHz, and allows for more efficient operation than the i5-2300 at default settings. The one thing Ivy Bridge will certainly offer over Sandy Bridge is efficiency, and we'll find out in a week just how much more efficient. But Sandy Bridge will continue to thrive as an efficient chip, and as its prices fall after Ivy Bridge's release and/or more of them are available cheaply as second-hand hardware, it will continue to be a great choice for efficiency gurus and enthusiasts alike.

Title : Aeronautical Decision Making for Instrument Pilots.
Descriptive Note : Final rept.,

Abstract : Aviation accident data indicate that the majority of aircraft mishaps are due to judgment error. This training manual is part of a project to develop materials and techniques to help improve pilot decision making. Training programs using prototype versions of these materials have demonstrated substantial reductions in pilot error rates. The results of such tests were statistically significant and ranged from approximately 10% to 50% fewer mistakes. This manual is designed to explain the risks associated with instrument flying activities, the underlying behavioral causes of typical accidents, and the effects of stress on pilot decision making. It provides a means for the individual pilot to develop an Attitude Profile through a self-assessment inventory and provides detailed explanations of preflight and in-flight stress management techniques. The assumption is that pilots receiving this training will develop a positive attitude toward safety and the ability to effectively manage stress while recognizing and avoiding unnecessary risk. This manual is one of a series on Aeronautical Decision Making prepared for the following pilot audiences; (1) Student and Private (2) Commercial (3) Instrument (4) Instructor (5) Helicopter (6) Multi-Crew. Keywords: Human factors, Human performance, Aviation safety, Aviation training, Pilot error, Judgment, Decision making, Instrument pilots, Professional pilots.
Descriptors : *FLIGHT TRAINING, *DECISION MAKING, *JUDGEMENT(PSYCHOLOGY), *PILOTS, AERONAUTICS, AIRCRAFT, ATTITUDES(PSYCHOLOGY), AVIATION ACCIDENTS, AVIATION SAFETY, ERRORS, HELICOPTERS, HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING, INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, INSTRUMENT FLIGHT, INSTRUMENTATION, MANUALS, PERFORMANCE(HUMAN), RATES, RISK, TRAINING

Deutsche Telekom Profit Falls on U.S. Investment Costs
First-Quarter Net Profit Triples But Results Weighed by Push for Customers
FRANKFURT—Deutsche Telekom AG said Thursday that its first-quarter results were weighed down by higher costs tied to investment in the U.S., although profit tripled in the period due to an extraordinary gain.
The German telecom company's net profit rose to €1.8 billion ($2.5 billion) in the quarter, largely due to income of €1.7 billion from the sale of its stake in online advertising unit Scout24 late last year. Adjusted for the...

Story from A.K, Vic
The CALM Seminar fired up my enthusiasm in so many areas of my life. It enabled me to step out of my comfort zone and tackle what I have formerly thought impossible for me – building a business based on personal approaches. The seminar has given me the confidence to approach people and to interest them in the product. CALM has taught me to relax and overcome stress rapidly which of course means that I can project myself as relaxed and positive to prospective customers. Many thanks.

I first met Suzanne a little over a year ago. At that time I was struggling with career decisions and having difficulty coming to grips with what I really wanted to make my life's work. We all have certain blocks and self-imposed limitations. Suzanne helped me to calm my mind so that I could more clearly see and deal with the issues that had been holding me back from pursuing my dreams. I learned to trust in Suzanne's skills, her genuine concern for me, and her tenacity in helping me get unstuck and moving towards my goals. I have recommended Suzanne to others and will continue to do so. She is a special resource that more people need to know about and utilize.

Cellular mobile-telephone service, just getting started in most cities, is already showing signs of inadequacy.
The technology was supposed to allow for a vast increase in the number of people who could own car telephones. But already, with only an estimated 150,000 such phones in use, cellular telephone providers say they are in danger of running short of capacity and are asking the Federal Communications Commission to provide additional radio frequencies for mobile-phone service.

90 Day Pay Out Loans
Are you a bad credit borrower looking for cash loans you can pay back in 90 days? The loans you pay back in 90 days offered by cash advance lenders are especially crafted with the objective to extend quick and easy financial assistance for single parents with bad credit. This is a very viable loan scheme that help you to deal with the unexpected financial adversity in a clear cut way, often requiring no documents or faxing on your part.
Online Loans Pay Back In 3 Months
Before considering this online lenders for single parents or people with poor credit, you need to understand some of the basic terms and requirements before you go on to borrow money online with these private lenders. Because installment loans with 90 days to pay back are meant to offer financial help if you are in a hurry, it is obvious that there will be a credit check on any borrower. If you are constantly turned away by banks or even your credit union, you can go for its benefits, unlike typical payday loans where you only have a shorter 30 day duration.
However, before you submit the online form of a cash loan company, ask for the eligibility criteria which are stated commonly as below:
Payday Loans You Pay Back In 90 Days
For anyone to borrow a 90-day bad credit loan, you must be a US citizen. For others, you may search for '90 day loan', etc. You also need to be at least 18 years of age and be a regular employee of a company with a monthly salary of $1000, minimum. To facilitate the transfer of funds to and from your account, you should have an active checking account with direct deposit. This arrangement can help you to avail cash easily and often, in a speedy manner. Hence, you can often see online personal loan lenders claiming to be able to provide offers in 1 hr, and let you borrow money 24 hours round the clock.
90 Day Installment Loans
The pay back mechanism of this monthly payment loan is straightforward. You can pay back in 90 days as instalment loans or return in full. Even so, you can ask for loan extensions and there are numerous bad credit lenders who can assist you with a longer repayment term against the principal sum which enables you to extend the loan date as per your convenience. As usual, any loan extension is made available against a nominal fee or higher interest fee for the extended period.
With a loan you can take up to 90 days to return, you, as a single parent or single mom that needs money, should be able to deal comfortably any urgent expenses such as paying for rent or home improvements, etc. The accredited 90 day lenders can be easily sourced on the internet. You can approach a cash advance direct lender by filling an online form and no faxing.

Hey y'all! I've been a horrible horrible blogger lately- I've posted maybe once a week for the last couple of months? I'm going to try to make more of an effort to post more often, and not just recipes (especially since my school schedule is wonky this semester and I won't have as much time to put into developing recipes. Sadface.)
School is back in full force. This semester is so weird. I feel like my schedule is all over the place and my commute is right during rush hour so it takes me anywhere from 2-3 hrs to get home some days. And by the time I do get home sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic for that long leaves me exhausted and all I want to do is go straight to bed.
This semester I'm taking Human Anatomy & Physiology, Bionutrition (which is actually a Biochemistry class), and Literature in Nutrition and Food Science.
I took a Biology class at the local community class this summer to prep for A&P and I'm soooo glad I did! I feel totally ahead of the game in my science classes and I'm fairly certain that I'm going to do really well in them!
My literature class I'm also really enjoying. We're learning how to do and present research and today we worked with a research librarian in the library. I got some really helpful information and I'm pumped to get started on my research projects! We broke up into groups and started talking about our group research project- I ended up in a group with 2 really great girls and I'm really excited about working with them!!
What else??
I'm going to start blogging my weigh-ins again I think. Maybe not every single week but sometimes. It's going pretty well- I've lost almost 5 lbs this month so that's definitely something to celebrate!!
And just for your entertainment…
Fruit the size of my head!
It's a Pummelo. It's like a grapefruit but a little sweeter.
Unfortunately it's got a really thick rind (is that what it's called?) and inside it's really only the size of a grapefruit. And like twice as expensive. Oh well, it's still fun to try new things!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!

If you thought the BAFTAs – that's the Orange British Academy of Film & Television Arts to you Yanks – would keep the honors for themselves this year, you were in for a spot of bad luck. See, the Grammys weren't the only major awards ceremony being held yesterday; the British equivalent of the Oscars (and how they must love being referred to like that) took place last night at the Royal Opera House in London.
And besides a best adapted screenplay win for "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" scripters Peter Straughan and his late wife Bridget O'Connor, the only other homegrown talents gifted with a BAFTA mask in major contests were the visual effects team behind "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" and the hair and makeup artists from "The Iron Lady."
(Of course, John Hurt received an already-announced honorary award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema and "TTSS" took home the "we-have-to-make-sure-we-win-at-least-one" statue in the Best British Film category.)
Elsewhere it was business as usual with Octavia Spencer ("The Help") and Christopher Plummer ("Beginners" – and yes, he's Canadian born) continuing their unstoppable march to Oscar glory in the supporting fields. "The Artist" picked up another win for Best Picture and also claimed the director and – sorry again, George Clooney – lead actor prizes for Michel Hazanvicius (who won for original screenplay, too) and Jean Dujardin, respectively.
In the lead actress category, Meryl Streep (temporarily?) stalled the momentum of her friend and fellow American Viola Davis ("The Help") with a win for "The Iron Lady." Ironically, Streep won for playing the revered and reviled former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
What if anything does all this foretell for the upcoming Oscars, taking place two weeks from yesterday? Is "The Artist" unbeatable? Does George Clooney have a chance? Will it be Streep, Davis or an upsetter like Michelle Williams ("My Week with Marilyn"?
See the complete list of winners below:
Best Film The Artist
Best Director Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist
Best Actor Jean Dujardin, The Artist
Best Actress Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady

A simple lab-scale experiment was conducted to study the performance ofaerated and non-aerated water hyacinth systems in treating domestic wastewater. The aerated water hyacinth system showed higher removal efficiencies than the non-aerated water hyacinth system. This may be due to aeration induced mixing"ofwater which allow a greater portion of the was;ewater .to contact the root zone of the plant, and also increase in microbial activities.

A callous thief stole cash from a vulnerable pensioner who befriended him while they were on the same hospital ward.
Jamie Loftus betrayed the friendship of the vulnerable 75-year-old victim after he trusted him with his bank card and PIN number.
Loftus was an inpatient at St James's Hospital in Leeds in March last year when he met the elderly man who was in the next bed to him.
Charlotte Worsley, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court the two men bacame friendly and would go outside together to smoke. Shortly before the elderly man was discharged he asked Loftus if we would buy him some things to take home with him.
The pensioner gave Loftus his bank card and told him the PIN number.
Loftus, 24, then went and withdrew £250 from a cash machine in the hospital which he kept for himself.
He then managed to obtain a further £600 worth of items from shops in the vicinity of the hospital.
Loftus attempted to obtain another £1,000 in cash by using the card but was unsuccessful.
Police were contacted and the victim burst into tears when he was told what had happened. The court heard Loftus, of Domestic Street, Holbeck, has a long history for committing offences of dishonesty.
At the time of the offence he was on bail for stealing from his grandmother.
He pleaded guilty to theft.
Jayne Dodson, mitigating, said much of Loftus's offending was linked to drug abuse. She said her client had been responding well to help he had been receiving from a religious charity.
Miss Dodson said: "He understands that it was a very despicable thing to do.
She added: "He has decided that he wants to change his life and this new found faith has assisted him."
Miss Dodson said Loftus accepted that he would be jailed for his offending and intended to continue to work with the charity upon his release.
Judge Geoffrey Marson, QC, said: "You have got a terrible record and you were on bail for stealing from your grandmother when you committed this offence. He (the victim) was devastated when he found out about what you did. No doubt it had has undermined his confidence because he will feel he can no longer trust anybody."

Teflon car wax has been given a very high standard. There are those who do not believe in its qualities, but results are what counts. There are both benefits, as well as downfalls to this type of wax.
Teflon car detailing works on the same premise as non-stick pans. It makes the paint job look incredibly reflective and rich. The premise is that nothing will stick to this wax. While this isn't completely true, it still does a great job of repelling dirt and other flying debris.
Easy Application
Many teflon car waxes come as a spray instead of the conventional wax structure. It is simple since you just spray on the wax, and let it dry. You can then wipe it off once it is fully dry.
The fact of the matter is teflon wax is very expensive. Teflon car detailing isn't done as much, and car detailers normally charge much more than a regular wax for this type of wax job.
Doesn't Last Long
There are those that claim teflon is long lasting. However, the structure of teflon proves that it really won't stay on your car that much. First, in teflon waxes, there is not that much teflon even in the formula. Most waxes have at most 10% teflon in there. On top of that, the teflon needs to bind with organic material in order to stick on the car. This will cause the teflon to actually leave your car much sooner than expected, and you would no longer see the benefits of the coating.

It is well into strawberry season here and really warming up. What better time to start throwing in a few refreshing strawberries to sweeten up those summer salads. I've shared a couple of strawberry salads with you in the past, but thought you might like some more. After a little time searching through blogs and Pinterest, I found several other people that like strawberry salads as much as I do. However, I was surprised that I didn't find more. Maybe we can start something here. 🙂 Below are several delicious strawberry salads and I believe the inspiration for many more.
Avocado and Strawberry Salad with Honey Vinaigrette by Carina-Forum
I think you'll all agree that this is a gorgeous salad! And such a simple salad
with four main ingredients and a honey-lemon dressing made with avocado oil.
Strawberry and Macadamia Nut Salad by The 21st Century Housewife
This would be the perfect salad for a beach picnic. The macadamia nuts and
the strawberry/mint infused vinegar in the dressing make this salad very special.
Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette by Chaos in the Kitchen
Strawberries and pecans – what a combination! It's easy to see why
Chaos in the Kitchen calls this "a favorite summer salad"!
Cantaloupe Strawberry Salad by Tea Tattler
What a refreshing warm weather salad! So easy to throw together and quite delicious
with all of the seasonal fruit and fresh mint!
Roast Strawberry Salad by Kitchen Riffs
As if fresh strawberries aren't already good enough, Kitchen Riffs roasts his to enhance the
flavor even more! Add some goat cheese and balsamic vinegar for a truly gourmet salad.
Strawberry Broccoli Salad by The Diva Dish
Who couldn't love this salad after reading how it was created! Strawberries, broccoli,
cashews and toasted coconut – a salad that even a 2 year old loves!
Arugula Salad with Sausage and Strawberries by So…Let's Hang Out
Yes – you read it right – Sausage and Strawberries!
The sausage used here is actually Andouille which sounds good to me.
What a creative and delicious looking salad!
Grilled Salmon Salad with Fresh Strawberries by Annie's Eats
Being a huge fan of grilled salmon, I can definitely taste the combination of salmon and
strawberries. What a unique and utterly delicious combination!
Spinach Strawberry Salad by Life is Beautiful
A simple little salad with the extra sweetness of dried cranberries to complement the strawberries. A summer favorite for Life is Beautiful.
Strawberry Coconut and Pinon Salad
This is Bobby's favorite salad! I really think he could eat this salad at least once a week.
Strawberry and Tomato with Mint
An easy salad to throw together but really, really works best with ripe, but
firm heirloom tomatoes. A salad with lots of texture, lots of flavor.
If you haven't added strawberries to your grocery list yet, then what are you waiting for?
Feel free to share your favorite strawberry salad with us. Leave a link or your recipe in a comment and I'll add it to list.

Comments received from NGOs, October-November 2012
The Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly requested WHO Secretariat to present a draft policy paper on WHO's engagement with nongovernmental organizations to the Executive Board at its 132nd session in January 2013 (WHA65(9)). As a step in developing this draft policy WHO consulted NGOs on issues concerning consultation, collaboration and accreditation on 18 October 2012 at WHO, Geneva. Below are additional comments received in writing.

Perhaps you have a tendency to try to do two, three, or even four things at the same time. For example, you might be used to checking your cell phone while eating, or you might have a habit of texting while walking. Although it may seem very efficient to do multiple things at once, in reality, such multitasking usually doesn't help people be more productive. Instead, it mostly just adds to their stress. Informal mindfulness is all about doing just one thing at a time, with full awareness.
Here are some examples of daily activities that can become mindfulness practices:
- Brushing your teeth
- Walking to class
- Getting dressed in the morning
- Walking your dog or petting your cat
- Cleaning your room
- Answering your phone
- Exercising or playing sports
- Playing a musical instrument
- Drawing or painting
Can you think of some more?
Pick at least one of these activities as a means of practicing informal mindfulness over the coming week.
The first step, before doing this activity, is to stop for a moment. Take a few mindful breaths, and observe what is happening for you right here and now. Then, proceed with the activity as if it is the most important thing in the world, with great curiosity and care. As you do the activity, tune in to your senses. What does this thing that you are doing look like? What does it smell like? What does it sound like? What does it feel like?
You don't need to rush to get whatever it is you're doing done. You don't need to do three things at once. Let go of all that extra stress. Doing just this one thing, with mindfulness, is enough. If you are walking, just walk. If you are eating, just eat. If you are brushing your teeth, just brush—instead of trying to get it done quickly so that you can move on to something else, invest 100 percent of your effort in brushing your teeth.
As best you can, keep your full attention on what you are doing. Continue to breathe mindfully. Every time your mind wanders, simply notice: Where did my mind just go? Whenever stress arises—for example, when you start to think about all the things that you need to do or wish you had done—just come back to your breath. Don't judge yourself if your mind is wandering; you're not doing anything wrong. Remember, noticing that your mind wandered marks a moment of mindfulness. Stop, taking three more breaths. Return to the present moment, over and over again.
You can say a few guiding words silently to yourself to help you stay present. For example, if you are walking to class or to the bus stop, you can say to yourself silently, Breathing in, I know that I am walking. Breathing out, I smile. Walking… Smiling…
How is this experience different from your normal way of doing things? Do you notice anything interesting about this daily activity that you might not have noticed before? How might paying attention to everyday activities in this way help you be less stressed and more resilient?

Midfielder Nemanja Matic set for Chelsea return
Kevin De Bruyne on way to Wolfsburg
Nemanja Matic of Benfica (left) fights for the ball with Varela of FC Porto at Luz Stadium, Lisbon, Portugal.
Chelsea are to re-sign for an eye-catching fee of around £22 million, a vastly inflated price from the valuation attached to the Serbia midfielder when he was allowed to leave and join Benfica three years ago.
Matic is due at Cobham today for a medical with the clubs close to agreeing a price for the 25-year-old, who has been capped nine times.
The defensive midfielder had pushed for a return to Stamford Bridge after a hugely impressive spell in Lisbon, with the outlay to bring him back to England to fall well short of the £37million buy-out clause in the player's contract. He is expected to sign a contract to 2017. Yet the fee remains remarkable given Chelsea had considered Matic to be only a makeweight in the deal which brought David Luiz from Benfica in the 2011 mid-winter window, the midfielder's valuation at the time being placed at around £3 million.
The vast difference will be partly offset by the sale of Kevin De Bruyne to Wolfsburg for around £18 million, with that transfer finally to be concluded in the next 24 hours.
Substitute appearances
Matic had joined Chelsea from the Slovakian side Kosice for £1.5 million in 2009 but made only three substitute appearances before he was dispatched on a season-long loan to Vitesse Arnhem. With his route into the first team at Chelsea blocked by more experienced candidates Chelsea sanctioned his departure only to watch his game flourish from afar.
Physically imposing at 6ft 4in, the midfielder has developed rapidly in Portugal, impressing as a key member of Jorge Jesus's side when offered regular competitive football. An athletic runner, aggressive in the tackle and an accurate and progressive passer, Matic is entering his pomp and could make his second debut for the club in Sunday's visit of another of his mooted suitors, Manchester United.
De Bruyne will undergo a medical in Germany today before signing a contract with Wolfsburg to 2019.

Superman Will Continue To Look Like Superman In 'Batman v Superman'
With Batman grabbing so many of the headlines regarding Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it was high time for a reminder that, oh hey, Superman is also in this thing. We've already had a look at Ben Affleck in the Zack Snyder's interpretation of the cape and cowl and now we're offered a check-in of Henry Cavill still looking like Superman. With Metropolis presumably still in rubble and the action moving to Gotham for the quasi-sequel to Man of Steel, here we see Superman standing on a rain-soaked roof beneath the smog-choked sky while fantasizing how he will just punch all of those buildings to shit.

Maine Vacation Trip
December 06, 2011
I got to check off a destination on my bucket list this fall when my husband and I went to Maine on vacation. We flew in to Portland and rented a car. We stayed at a bed and breakfast in the coastal town of Old Orchard Beach, and walked out to the beach in the evenings. From there, we drove up the coast along the scenic route to Camden, stopping along the way at the L.L. Bean stores and factory outlets.
The final destination was to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. I had checked out the book Acadia the Complete Guide by James Kaiser from MCPL before we left, and was familiar with the walking trails and ranger events to do while in the area. We had a gorgeous day to take the scenic drive through the park and to drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain where we had a picnic lunch. It rained the next day, so we didn't get to do the ranger walk at night or the carriage ride in the park. But even in the rain, we saw some beautiful Maine scenery and coastal lighthouses.
MCPL has many travel books to help with your vacation plans. I think it is always helpful to know a little bit about where you are going before you get there. The book I used was especially helpful. It told us beforehand which walking trails were most suited to our walking ability. In other words, senior easy and not rock climbing hard. That way, we planned out our morning walk with our picnic lunch, and had a great time without wasting time driving to the wrong area.
You might want to consider Maine when you plan your next vacation.
Wanda B.
Raytown Branch
Maine is Vacationland
Sounds like a wonderful trip to Maine. I love to hear people's experiences when visiting our great state. There is so much to Maine, the coast, the mountains and Moosehead Lake. We hope to see you!

Title Loans Usa
Making Title Loans Usa Be Right For You
Tough financial times can strike nearly anyone at anytime. In case you are currently facing a tricky money situation and wish quick help, you could be considering the choice of a Title Loans Usa. Then, these article can certainly help educate you like a consumer, and allow you to make a smart decision.
When contemplating a Title Loans Usa, although it really is tempting ensure never to borrow in excess of are able to afford to repay. As an example, whenever they assist you to borrow $1000 and put your motor vehicle as collateral, but you only need $200, borrowing far too much can cause the decline of your car for anybody who is cannot repay the whole loan.
Most Title Loans Usa are meant to be paid back by two weeks. If you feel yourself cannot repay your loan within that time frame, you definitely should contact the financial institution without delay. Many payday lenders will rollover your loan repayment up until the next pay period if needed, while you are going to pay additional interest and maybe a fee.
Think carefully about what amount of cash you may need. It happens to be tempting to obtain a loan for a lot more than you need, but the more money you ask for, the better the loan rates will likely be. But not only, that, however some companies may only clear you for the specific amount. Use the lowest amount you will want.
Seek out different loan programs which could be more effective on your personal situation. Because Title Loans Usa are gaining popularity, loan companies are stating to offer a bit more flexibility inside their loan programs. Some companies offer 30-day repayments as an alternative to 1 or 2 weeks, and you can qualify for a staggered repayment schedule that may make loan easier to repay.

You will need to glance at the small print carefully to know the possible penalties for those who fall behind. Title Loans Usa normally carry high penalty costs.
There are actually organizations that can assist you for making arrangements to get rid of your overdue Title Loans Usa. Such organizations work at no cost for your needs, and can help with negotiations that could free you from the Title Loans Usa trap.
Seek out different loan programs which could be more effective on your personal situation. Because Title Loans Usa are gaining popularity, loan companies are stating to offer a bit more flexibility inside their loan programs. Some companies offer 30-day repayments as an alternative to 1 or 2 weeks, and you can qualify for a staggered repayment schedule that may make loan easier to pay back.
Learn what documentation to bring along into the Title Loans Usa office to recieve your loan. The requirements is usually different per loan provider, yet they will in most cases want proof of your banking account and your host to employment. Ask the corporation you may be using the services of what information they want; this could make process faster.
Try not to make use of Title Loans Usa to fund your way of life. Title Loans Usa are costly, so that they should simply be employed for emergencies. Title Loans Usa are simply designed to assist you to pay extra for unexpected medical bills, rent payments or food shopping, while you wait for your upcoming monthly paycheck from your employer.
The simplest way to work with a Title Loans Usa will be to pay it back full without delay. The fees, interest, along with other costs associated with these loans can cause significant debt, that is just about impossible to get rid of. So when you are able pay your loan off, take action and do not extend it.
You ought to only make application for a Title Loans Usa for anyone who is literally away from options. The effective rate of interest for the Title Loans Usa is extreme, while using total fees for any two-week loan generally equaling 15%-25% of your amount borrowed. Think of almost every other method to get help before going with a Title Loans Usa.
Check your credit history before you decide to look for a Title Loans Usa. Consumers using a healthy credit history should be able to have more favorable loan rates and relation to repayment. In case your credit history is within poor shape, you will definitely pay mortgage rates which are higher, and you can not qualify for a prolonged loan term.
Keep in mind a payday lender will be able to access all of the information about your bank accounts. You will need to assess the chance of this. Make sure you protect yourself from lenders that may be contemplating id theft.
Any time you make application for a Title Loans Usa, you might well realize that your best choice is to cooperate with a fairly distant lender. Should this be the truth, see if you can select one that will not ask you to fax them any documentation. Faxing documents may be a requirement, but it surely can rapidly accumulate. It means paying a person to five dollars for every single page to your local merchant; meanwhile, you are able to avoid that by choosing the best lender.
Read each of the small print on everything you read, sign, or might sign within a payday lender. Make inquiries about anything you may not understand. Look at the confidence of your answers given by the workers. Some simply glance at the motions all day long, and were trained by someone doing a similar. They will often not understand all the fine print themselves. Never hesitate to call their toll-free customer satisfaction number, from within the store in order to connect to a person with answers.
Only borrow the money you really need. For instance, for anybody who is struggling to get rid of your bills, then this cash is obviously needed. However, you must never borrow money for splurging purposes, for example going out to restaurants. The high rates of interest you will need to pay in the foreseeable future, will not be worth having money now.
After reading this post, hopefully you may be no more at night and also have a better understanding about Title Loans Usa as well as how one can use them. Title Loans Usa let you borrow money in a brief time frame with few restrictions. When you buy ready to get a Title Loans Usa if you choose, remember everything you've read.


text: Great question - can't answer. I too often wonder why the edits are so poor. My guess as to a short answer: music (or at least musical quality, including innovation) is a low priority. Otherwise, we wouldn't have Carmen & Swan Lake up the wazoo, year after year. I wish COP would give points for musical selection and editing.

Bringing to life the bestselling novel by Nobel Prize winning author John Steinbeck, this TV adaptation faithfully follows the history of the Trask family from the Civil War to World War II. A recreation of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, East of Eden follows estranged half-brothers Adam and Charles (Timothy Bottoms and Bruce Boxleitner) as they reunite after the death of their father, Cyrus (Warren Oates). They live together on their father's land, constantly quarreling, when they meet the manipulative and beautiful Cathy Ames (Jane Seymour), a prostitute with a dark past. The theme of good versus evil runs rampant throughout and entangles itself in the Trask family legacy through each generation.

Just a week after former Atlanta Braves outfielder Andruw Jones was arrested in the U.S. on a charge of domestic violence, the baseball player's wife has filed for divorce. The 35 year old Jones was just signed to play in Japan for the Rakuten Eagles for one year in a $3.5 million deal. Shortly after the Christmas Day arrest, the team announced they were still keeping the player, understanding that there had been no assault.
Nicole Jones filed her petition in Atlanta on Monday, stating that her 10 year marriage to Andruw was irretrievably broken. Reports say she is seeking primary custody of their 9 year old son, and in addition to child support and half of the couple's property holdings, a nullification of a prenuptial agreement. However, there is no mention of last week's arrest on battery charges in which the police were called during the early morning hours of December 25th after a domestic argument. Jones was alleged to have dragged his wife down the stairs and then grabbed her by the neck, threatening to kill her. Police did note finding injuries to her neck when arriving at the home.
While the baseball player was later released on bail, a statement from the Rakuten Eagles said that they had no plans to annul their contract offer. A team spokesman explained that they had spoken to Jones personally, who said he had too much to drink at a Christmas party, and then got into a heated argument with his wife. While Jones also apologized to Eagles fans in Japan for making them worry, the team also understood he had done nothing wrong and there had been no physical violence. With the controversy around Jones building, the Eagles may be changing their mind on the contract offer soon.

During the week, Juneau's Garfield Katasse works for the state of Alaska. During weekends in the summer, he's often thinking about dough.
Katasse is known for his frybread. When there's a gathering during the summer, he's often under a tent, cooking big pancakes of frybread and serving up Indian tacos - a mix of bread, pinto beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese.
During Celebration 2004, he was camped out under a blue tent by KTOO. He will be over by the National Guard Armory, and in Douglas, during the Fourth of July weekend. He also plans on selling frybread during Gold Rush Days, the Kake Dog Salmon Derby and most Saturdays at Marine Park.
"People can smell it from far away," Katasse said Friday, as eight customers queued. "They know there has to be frybread around some place."
Thursday, Katasse sold out before 5 p.m. Friday, he expected to sell out before 4 p.m.
Katasse has been cooking frybead for years. The dish is a family affair. One sister, Grace Larson, covers Sitka. Another, Mary Miller, sells frybread in Petersburg.
"One of my nephews said he wants to learn how to do this," Katasse said. "I told him I'd teach him.
"People like their frybread nice and warm; that's why I make it fresh," he said. "The only thing I'm worried about is that they get a good piece of frybread. I just want to make sure they're happy with what they're getting."
Katasse has lived all over Southeast and New Mexico. He learned to make frybread during his stays on Apache, Pueblo and Navajo reservations in the Lower 48.
"They make them a lot different from the way they make them in Alaska," Katasse said. "The ones they have up here tend to be a little smaller. I try to make mine as big as I can get them.
"A lot of people put different stuff in theirs," he said. "Some people use yeast here in Alaksa, but I don't. I never have. I really don't want to let everybody know what stuff I put it in there. Everybody will be making frybread the way I make it."
Katasse said that he used 150 pounds of flour to prepare for Friday. He was on the verge of selling out, just after 3:20 p.m. The store-bought pinto beans are actually one of the hardest parts of the Indian tacos. He spends four hours cleaning them.
"You have to soak them for a long time to get them ready," he said.

Last week, I mentioned some doctors who were suffering from extreme tiredness. Maybe they would benefit from reading this article on the BBC website. I found this interesting because couples sharing a bed seems to be a common custom all over the world and, while I have never found it too disrupting to my sleep schedule, apparently some other people do.
There are some great sleep-related words and phrases in the article, as well. The first one I would like to look at is 'duvet-hogging'. A duvet is a thick, stuffed blanket and to 'hog' something means to keep it all to yourself so to hog a duvet is when you pull it over yourself leaving your partner uncovered.
There are some more interesting expressions later in the article where Dr Neil Stanley is quoted saying:
We all know what it's like to have a cuddle and then say 'I'm going to sleep now' and go to the opposite side of the bed. So why not just toddle off down the landing?
To have a 'cuddle' is when you hug someone you love and to 'toddle off' is to walk in a slightly unsteady way. It is more common to use the word 'toddle' to talk about the way young children walk and we sometimes call children who are just beginning to walk 'toddlers'.
Another interesting word in this quote is 'landing'. A 'landing' is the flat area at the top of a staircase or between to sets of stairs.
Neat the end of the article, the author mentions a 'slumbering partner'. 'Slumber' is a nice, slightly old-fashioned word for sleep.
How do you make sure you sleep well?

Vision Gran Turismo
In order to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Gran Turismo, Peugeot Designers and Sport Engineers have worked together to create the perfect combination of aerodynamics and elegance and created the Peugeot Vision Gran Turismo. It is a virtual car, designed only for the passionate gamers. Although it can't be driven in real life, everyone who has the necessary skills and tools can give it a ride in the virtual world.
With only 104 cm height Peugeot's concept for Gran Turismo has some great technical attributes: "a V6 turbo 3,2 engine, with 875 bhp to a six-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel drive system". Weighting only 875 kg it has a power/weight ratio of 1:1. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 1,73 seconds.
The model is monochromatic, with black and grey body and windows, and red accents were added in order to brighten it up. "The concept combines the characteristics from a big GT, supercar and sports prototypes", according to Gilles Vidal, the design director of Peugeot.

CONCORD, N.H. – In front of his family, friends, and panel of distinguished guests such as New Hampshire representatives Gov. Maggie Hassan and Senators Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, Sgt. 1st Class Paul M. Dimond was awarded the Purple Heart Medal on Friday March 28, 2014 at the New Hampshire State House in Concord, N.H., for injuries he sustained serving as part of the Army Reserve's NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan 2011.
Dimond was acting as the noncommissioned officer in charge of a training course provided to the Afghan National Army. While attending a graduation ceremony on Dec. 8, 2011 at the Afghan National Army's 205th Corps training center, Sgt. 1st Class Dimond was injured when an improvised explosive device hidden under the chair of Maj. Gen. Abdul Hameed, the highest ranking Afghan officer in southern Afghanistan, was detonated in an attempted assassination.
"I'm honored to receive the award and very humbled," said Dimond, a Manchester, N.H., native. "There's a lot of guys out there worse off than I am. They've received a lot more injuries than I have, and just to get the award itself is a very humbling experience."
He was only five meters away from the detonation. Immediately following the explosion Dimond says his training kicked in. While disregarding his own injuries he maintained his composure, reacted to contact, and obtained full accountability of the members of his team.
"I'm not a hero by any means," said Dimond. "I'm just doing my job and that was my job that day – to take care of my guys."
Despite his humble attitude, those who made their way to the state house have great respect for the duty and sacrifice Sgt. 1st Class Dimond has made for his country, state, and fellow service members.
"To be able to represent the people of New Hampshire in thanking Sgt. 1st Class Dimond for his sacrifice, which has made us all stronger and made our freedom stronger too, it's just a great honor," said Gov. Hassan, a daughter of a veteran.
"I'm happy for him, that he finally got it," said Mary Dimond, Paul's wife. "It's well deserved. I think it's a little overwhelming for him."
Sgt. 1st Class Dimond isn't the only member of his family to receive the Purple Heart. His father-in-law, John Morse, received a Purple Heart on March 20, 2014, for injuries he sustained in combat during the Vietnam War 47 years ago. Morse had originally declined the medal while recovering from his wounds in a hospital in south Vietnam because he didn't believe he deserved it at the time.
"I'm proud but I'm still nervous and I think there's a weight off my shoulders," said Morse, to a Knoxville News Sentinel reporter. "I think it's well overdue… my thinking that I didn't deserve it is probably past due, it's lifted. It feels nice."
The Purple Heart is one of the oldest commendations in American military history, dating back to the later years of the Revolutionary War and was originally designed as the Badge of Military Merit. Despite Gen. George Washington's wishes that the award be a permanent decoration in the military, the conclusion of the war also meant abandonment of the medal.
It wasn't until World War I that new life was brought to the award when Gen. John J. "Blackjack" Pershing suggested that there should be an award for merit and in 1932 the Purple Heart was created in recognition of Washington's original concept for the bicentennial of his birth under General Order Number Three: "…By the order of the President of the United States, the Purple Heart, established by Gen. George Washington at Newburgh, August 7, 1782, during the War of the Revolution is hereby revived out of respect to his memory and military achievements."
Throughout the years the Purple Heart has undergone several changes in regards to the criteria that must be met in order to receive the medal. For example, the Purple Heart used to be awarded exclusively to surviving service members in the Army and Army Air Corps until President Franklin Roosevelt signed an executive order that allowed the Purple Heart to be awarded by the Department of the Navy to sailors, marines, and coast guard personnel. This executive order also allowed the medal to be awarded posthumously on or after Dec. 7, 1941.
Despite his injuries, Dimond continues to serve proudly in the Army Reserve as a drill sergeant with 1st Battalion, 304th Regiment based out of Londonderry, N.H. and is scheduled to train and provide lessons learned to Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets in their training at Fort Knox, Ky., this summer.

Finally figured out that a new version of the /etc/modules.conf file was loaded with the latest kernel upgrade. Is there a reason to not put this file in the pacman.conf as a NoUpgrade file?
Just curious
well other than it is not the recommended manner for loading modules in arch. likely the fact that most of the developers use rc.conf to load their modules has cause the absence of modules.conf in pacman.conf. that being said it is easy to add modules.conf to the list of NoUpgrade.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
Thanks for the info. Actually, I am loading most everything from the rc.conf file. I put an alias to load my network card in the modules.conf since that's what the user docs said to do (section 3.1.6). After I ran into this issue I did add it to the pacman.conf as a NoUpgrade, just thought I'd ask in case something was happening that should be addressed....
Should I put the network card alias in rc.conf? I'm fairly new to Linux configuration and just trying to figure things out....
Thanks again,
well it is really up to you. first i would file a bug about the documentation as it should be consistent mentioning either rc.conf use or modules.conf use, imo.
if you want to add your network card to the MODULES=() array all you have to add is the name of the module (ie if your module is via-rhine just put via-rhine in the list of modules)
you could also file a bug about putting modules.conf in the NoUpgrade list. it only makes sense to have it there as a default .... even if it is not the suggested arch way.

We were talking about a subject he's wrestled with throughout the time we've worked together, and it's been two steps forward, one step back. (Sometimes one step forward, two steps back.)
"What is it that keeps you from asking your customers for testimonials, from telling people about what you can do for them?"
"It makes me feel Slick Salesman-y."
We've had this conversation before.
Hmm, I thought.
"You got great feedback in your customer surveys – He's a great guy. He came to my house and talked to me. He saved me money. He helped me with a tough situation. True?"
"And I know you are all about service. You want to be an advocate for your customers. True?"
"So, while you do have the goal of making a decent living for yourself and your family, what would happen if you held the intention when you talk to people of creating a win-win situation? Would it feel different if, when you asked for an appointment, you thought about those success stories, and all the people you've helped?"
"Maybe," he said.
"Give it a try. Practice on me." So he did. First he was quiet, and then he started practicing, while holding in his mind all the people he has helped – while earning a living. He tried a few phrases, and started to get some momentum. Suddenly he burst out,
"Yeah!" I cried. "Now you're getting somewhere!" We started riffing on that, and I joked it could be a great tag line for giveaways – T-shirts, travel mugs, all labeled with the name of his company, and I can help you, dammit!
His eyes lit up, and he started to laugh, and shouted, "DAMMIT, YOU NEED ME!"
Suddenly he sobered and looked at me out of the corner of his eye. "That would be a great motto for Susan T. Blake Consulting, too," he said.
I…er…um…well. Yeah.
Damn it! Caught learning again.
So we practiced saying it to each other.
"I can help you, dammit!"
"I can help you, dammit!"
"That does feel different, doesn't it?" I wondered out loud.
"Empowering," he said.
Hi, I'm Susan T. Blake,
Professional Encourager and Lifelong Learner, and
I can help you, dammit!

[JURIST] US District Judge Reggie B. Walton on Friday denied the latest request by I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby [defense profile] to access classified information to prepare his defense on obstruction of justice and perjury charges [JURIST report] in connection to the leak of former CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity [JURIST news archive].

Walton also said that the documents requested would not aid in the preparation of Libby's defense.
Libby has pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to the charges [indictment, PDF]. Libby has requested a one-month delay [JURIST report] in the trial, and if granted, the trial will begin mid-February. AP has more.

Cat #7 - Edgar
I first met Edgar last summer. He was this fluffy grey blob I would catch glimpses of hanging out on the side of my shed. I think he was living in an overturned garbage can. He was absolutely terrified of me. I started leaving bowls of food out for him by the shed and I'd run back in the house and peek through the living room window to see if he'd eat. I had to make sure he didn't see me or he'd get this look of terror on his face and go darting back behind the shed.
The day after I had to have Seymour, one of my strays, put down (I had hoped to find him a home as he turned out to be such a good natured cat, but he tested very positive for FIV), I was a complete wreck. All of a sudden Edgar appeared on the deck in my back yard. When I went to the door he didn't run away. I slowly and quietly went outside and sat down on the deck and stuck my hand out. After only a few minutes, he came over and wanted me to pet him.
I had a complete meltdown right there on the deck. I eventually went inside and Edgar spent the rest of the day sitting at my back door staring at me while I sat at my desk.
More meltdowns ensued. FOAP agreed to help again, and a couple of nights before his first vet visit (this was now October) the temperature was to drop to below 0 so Berni at FOAP suggested I bring him in for the night. I locked him in my bathroom and spent alot of time with him where he'd run over and curl up right in my lap.
However he did not enjoy AT ALL being stuck in there so in the middle of the night I got up, built him a little shelter outside, and let him out. He ended up sleeping in the shelter. Once at the vets I learned he had no fatal diseases or anything to really worry about, and that he was already neutered, about 9-13 years old, and was on the verge of emaciation (you could feel every bone in his spine). He is now a very healthy weight and LOVES food. I was not planning on keeping him because frankly, I am overloaded with cats in my tiny house, but him and I have grown very attached to each other, and I think I'd like him to live out the rest of his days here with me.
I thought this would have been the end of my cat series here on "kim's page", but seeing that my fiancé is moving in next month, it appears there will be 2 more cats coming on board. GAWD HELP US. So stay tuned for posts about cat #8 (Domino) and cat #9 (Inky) - who are actually both FOAP cats that Jeff has been fostering.

Voices for the Arctic Ocean
The people of Alaska have used the Arctic Ocean for thousands of years for subsistence, fisheries and recreation in a sustainable way. Here Alaskans testify during the Salazar Hearings held in Anchorage, Alaska on April 14, 2009.
Birch Creek
Birch Creek is a river located in central Alaska. 113 miles (182 km) of the river is managed by the Bureau of Land Management as a wild river under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The river travels through state, private, and National Wildlife Refuge land for 344 miles (553 km) before emptying into the Yukon River approximately halfway between Fort Yukon and Beaver. The water is classed as I to III.
Tangle Lakes Needs Your Help!!
As you may know, the Tangle Lakes area has been an Alaskan favorite for generations. Whether you hunt, ski, trap, fish, paddle, or just hike around and take photos, we've always assumed we'd be able to pass down these same experiences to the next generation. However, that may change soon...

Made in U.S.A.
• 100 watt /All Tube Design (MIDI Switchable)
• Three Channels w/Independent EQ and Gain Boost
• Front Panel Custom Noise Gate
• Innovative Active/Passive inputs
• 4 position 'Focus' Control
DIMENSIONS | 12 H x 27 W x 10.87 D WEIGHT | 45 lbs.
NORMAL AND ACTIVE INPUT CONFIGURATION: Active inputs designed to optimize active pickups. TONE CONTROLS: Bass, Mid, Treble & Presence. GAIN CONTROL: 1- Per channel. MASTER CONTROLS: Global Master volume, Boost and Presence control. GATE CONTROL: Noise Gate is functional on Lead I and Lead II channels. VOLUME CONTROL: Per Channel. Variable Boost: Yes-Footswitchable. FOCUS CONTROL: Controls 4 settings, VIII, VII, Normal and Tight.
SPEAKER EMULATION OUT: The output is speaker emulated to generate the tone of a Celestion Vintage 30-loaded Straight-front or Slant-front 4x12 speaker cabinet. Either tonality may be activated using the DI Cabinet Select switch. BOOST CONTROL: It provides up to 10dB of "Master Volume" boost regardless of which channel is active. The Boost occurs after the effects loop so no adjustment of your effects will be necessary. MASTER CONTROL: This is a global master volume control which sets the overall loudness of the entire amplifier. The Master is also after the effects loop. NOISE GATE: Fully adjustable noise gate that you can suppress all the noise generated by excessive gain use. The gate is functional on the Lead I and Lead II channels only. VINTAGE MODERN CONTROL: Clean channel has option to alter how the presence and gain react on the clean channel. The Modern tone selection is "chimey" and considered the American tone whereas the Vintage is more saturated, compressed and filled with more bottom-end with focus on the mids. MIDI CAPABLE: The footswitch functions can be activated by sending MIDI patch changes to its MIDI IN.
The Focus control is a global "tweak" that adjusts the amp's input frequency response to custom tailor the low frequency response for different styles of guitars. The 4 settings are VIII (8 string), VII (7 string), Normal and Tight with the deepest low frequency extension on the VIII (8 string) setting and the tightes, most aggressive low end responce on the Tight setting. By adjusting gain and low-end in various places in the tube preamp, the amp retains a similar tone while changing the feel to suit the particular instrument and player. This system provides a quick method for changing your amp's tone appropriately when changing guitars, in ways that most amps don't allow adjustment.
Unlike many amps that simply reduce the input signal to compensate for an active pickup, this input activates circuit changes in the amp that compensate for active pickups' typical lack of low-end extension and high frequency sparkle rolloff. The result is a tone that is more similar to passive pickups with the livliness you expect but with the beneficial lower output impedance and hum reduction typically found with active pickups. This is particularly useful as a "quick fix" when changing guitars from passive to active (if both inputs are used together, the amp is set to Active settings).
WATTAGE: 100 watts | TUBES: 4-EL34 Power Tubes | TUBE PREAMP/PHASE INVERTER: 1-JJECC83S, 2-EI12AX7EH and 1-Ruby 12AX7
FOOTSWITCH: 3 Channels, Boost & Effects as well as Voicing select on clean channel. Effects Loop- Yes- Footswitchable. MIDI footswitchable.
CHANNELS: Lead I, Lead II and Rhythm: Clean Channel Controls- Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Gain and Vintage Modern option. Lead Channel I - Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Gain and Variable Noise gate shared with Lead Channel II. Lead Channel II - Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Gain and Variable Noise Gate shared with Lead Channel I.
