Hey guys, Not long ago I was asking for some tips regarding violin recording. I got some really great ones from people around here and things really changed.Now, I am working on a track for a Pop meets Classic show,here in Germany.Anyways the piece will be played live but I still have to come up with a recorded product by the end of this month. I am almost done but still Im not totally happy with the violin recording. It sounds like out of the picture still.Especially that in the end product I gotta introduce some other solo instruments as well. How can I make it blend in more? I worked with the reverb and its pre delay,did some filtering,compression,bla bla…Do you have any other tips please?? Here is the first half of the track https://soundcloud.com/jazztin/freedom-part-1
Hi Juma, the violin sounds really amazing! very good interpretation. I don´t know too much about this issue, but i ll talk anyways, perhaps it help you.
For me , the track sounds great and the violin too, but if you would like to blend it, I would put down a little bit the volume of the violin, perhaprs -3db the violin track, and then try to make it appear again through the reverb aux.
Also, after putting the volume down of the violin, I would add a the violin to the same reverb aux that you used for the Snare. That way you ll gain volume and prescense but withouth touching the violin track.
Hope I made myself clear. Best Regards
Thanks a lot mate! I will try to apply your advices and let you know about the results!
I think the violin sounds great, maybe just bring it down a hair, it get's pretty loud in some spots. Cool track.
Tried adjunsting the presence using the parametric mixer (arround 1-6 khz)? This could make it blend better with the rest.
houseofsounds, I think that if you have a problem regarding the dinamics of the recording you can't solve that by adjusting the volume. The dinamic remains the same, if you bring it down a hair using the volume, you end up blending in the loudest part with the rest of the tracks, but not hearing loud enough on the softer parts. But if you ajust the dinamics of the recording, it should blend in just right. You need to apply a parametric mixer on the track and adjust the right frequency. Check the link bellow, it is a good example on the effect you get by changing different frequencies on different instruments.http://emusictips.com/downloads/Frequency_ranges.pdf
That violin is dope brother!
Thats some really useful piece of info Fernandes!Really appreciate it! Cheers! @E-Flex Thanks a lot mate! Nice to hear such feedback from fellow musicians!

Gallery: Ralph Brissette, Survivor of 1971 Sylmar Tunnel Explosion
The last thing Ralph Brissette could recall was the reek of gas, the fearsome blast and the screams of fellow miners at the end of the long, dark tunnel beneath Sylmar.
When he opened his eyes a day later, the first thing he asked was the fate of 17 other members of his work crew. But the family and friends gathered around his Pacoima hospital bed could only bow their heads in silence.
"I don't think I'll ever get over it," said Brissette, 75, of Culver City, pausing to hold back tears. "It's been on my mind for 40 years.
"I've asked myself all through the years: Why did I survive? It's a question I'll never be able to answer."
Brissette was the only survivor of an explosion inside a Metropolitan Water District tunnel in Sylmar that killed 17 men on June 24, 1971.
It would become the worst tunnel disaster in California history, resulting in the toughest mining and tunnel regulations in the nation.
The fatal blast would also spark a 54-week criminal trial against the tunnel contractor, resulting in the highest municipal fines and some of the greatest civil damages awards of its time.
After the longest municipal court trial in U.S. history, Lockheed Shipbuilding & Construction Co., a subsidiary of Lockheed Aircraft, was found guilty of gross negligence and violating state safety laws, and fined $106,250. It was also forced to pay $9.3 million in civil judgments.
The deaths of 16 miners and one MWD inspector have all been forgotten but for a handful of advocates pressing for a memorial.
Now 42 years after the tragedy, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is planning to install a plaque with a commemorative ceremony this summer at its headquarters by Union Station. The exact date has not been set.
"This was certainly a very important and tragic event for Southern California, and certainly for the MWD," said agency spokesman Bob Muir. "I think that this is certainly an event that will be remembered far into the future.
"It led to very important changes in worker safety regulations."
The blast occurred nearly five months after the Sylmar Earthquake of 1971, which experts say may have liberated natural gas.
The first sign of trouble came a day before the fatal explosion. Brissette, a "brakey" operating the conveyor that excavated muck and rock behind the 140-foot tunneling machine, smelled an odor "like gasoline," he recalled. It made him dizzy.
Pressure on his ears preceded an orange-color flash at the face of the tunnel. The explosion fire left four men injured, and forced Lockheed to shut down operations through the next evening to install more ventilator fans.
The next day, June 24, at 11 p.m., the graveyard shift for what was then known as the San Fernando Tunnel boarded a rail cart for the 5-mile journey to the tunnel face, nearly 2,000 feet from completion.
When completed, the 5.5-mile long tunnel, 18-feet in diameter, was supposed to ferry billions of gallons of water each year from Sylmar to the San Gabriel Valley.
But Brissette, a former high-rise construction worker from Phoenix, smelled flammable methane gas. Lots of it.
No one knows how it ignited. Nine of the 18 miners were believed killed outright; eight others likely suffocated in the ensuing dust and smoke.
One survived.
Brissette was likely saved from the blast by standing behind a mine locomotive. He lay seven hours in a puddle -- incoherent, burned and cut, with a fractured arm -- before rescuers found him.
"No one could have survived this," one of them said, peering through the remaining smoke to the bodies blown back by the blast, according to the book "The Sylmar Tunnel Disaster," published in 1978. They decided to turn back. Then, through the sound of trickling water, they heard a murmur.
"Hey, aren't you guys gonna take me with you?"
A state Assembly committee on industrial safety later found that Lockheed inspectors knew the gas level in the tunnel was high but failed to shut down the job, the basis for the Los Angeles criminal prosecution. Lockheed was later found guilty of gross negligence. Several company officials committed suicide, according to one engineer.
The state Division of Industrial Safety also was to blame. "I think the Division stinks, absolutely stinks," said late Assemblyman Jack Fenton, during hearings on the tunnel disaster.
The explosion helped prompt passage of stringent state mining regulations, as well as tougher rules to protect workers from job-related injuries. It also helped spur the state's occupational safety and health plan.
"This was a major case, like none other that I ever tried," said Richard Helgeson, a retired assistant city attorney for Los Angeles, one of three prosecutors on the tunnel case. "It was a triumph of litigation. We were a catalyst for change. It spawned a whole number of laws.
"Today, workers have a great deal of protection as a result."
For years, in the hills below Pacoima Dam where sobbing widows once watched the cloth-draped bodies of their husbands emerge from the tunnel's east portal, there was silence.
The tunnel, later deemed unnecessary, was never used. Its entrance lies with a concrete cap at Fenton Avenue and MacLay Street.
Five years ago, the Sylmar Neighborhood Council passed a motion urging a memorial. Last month, some stakeholders called for a pocket park near the tunnel entrance in honor of the disaster. Then Peter Rosenwald of Long Beach stumbled on the story and joined Brissette in advocating for a tribute.
"Seventeen men died. Their families have not been recognized. It's important to remember. It was so terrible," said Rosenwald, 67, a retired county librarian, during a recent gathering at Brissette's house.
"We need to develop a pocket park in memory of (these) men," added Don Neal, president of the Sylmar council. "We want something in our community. It's long overdue."
For years after the blast, Brissette had nightmares. He couldn't sleep. He tried to work in the mine again, but couldn't. He tried driving a truck, but the cab seemed too confining. Finally, he opened a bait and tackle shop in South Los Angeles, from which he's since retired.
For years, he helped the families of his deceased crew, taking their kids to baseball games. Some Sundays, he attends church services with the homeless. He was recently given a top volunteer award for caring for his disabled wife, Sharon. When he can, he delivers stuffed animals to seniors.
"He's been devoted to the very end," said Sharon Brissette, a retired schoolteacher, who has rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis and is in a wheelchair. "(But) he never mentioned (the explosion). What I heard about it came from family members."
Brissette, an easygoing man with a thin beard, said he was spared by God. Upstairs at his home, a collection of grandfather and other ticking clocks remind him of the urgency of giving back.
"It has made my faith very strong," he said. "I asked God to get me out, to save me. And he did.
"I never expected a memorial. I'm thankful. These guys will finally be more than remembered."

No. 2 Long Beach State won the first two matches of the day, and pushed No. 1 Pepperdine to the limit in the other three matches, but ultimately failed to hand the Waves their first loss in Sand Volleyball, losing 3-2 in a rematch of the 2012 National Championship Thursday at LBSU.
The 49ers started out the day quickly, as Tyler Jackson and Janisa Johnson won in straight sets over Victoria Adelhelm and Jazmine Orozco 21-13, 22-20. Both 49ers finished with 13 kills while Jackson added 12 digs in the victory.
The momentum continued to carry for Long Beach State, as the 49ers won the second match of the day as well in the fourth flight. Lauren Minkel and Jocelyn Neely held on for an exciting 26-24 win in the first set, and after a 21-11 loss in set two, rallied for a 15-9 win in the third set behind seven third-set digs from Minkel, who finished the match with 19 digs. Neely also added three third-set aces to help capture the win.
At No. 3, Kelley Larsen and Kellie Woolever took the first set 21-18 over Delainey Aigner-Swesey and Libby Fontanilla, but seven kills by Fontanilla in the second set helped the 49ers rally in a 21-14 win. Larsen made three blocks in the third and decisive third set, a 15-10 win, taking the best chance for a LBSU upset with the victory.
The 49ers did have two other close calls. After dropping the first set 21-17 to Lara Dykstra and Caitlin Racich, Bre Mackie and Chelsea Cabrajac held the service edge late in a back-and-forth second set. The Waves ended up winning the set to take the victory, however, in a 26-24 final.
In the top flight, Tara Roenicke and Caitlin Ledoux lost a late lead in the first set to fall 22-20 to Lilla Frederick and Kim Hill, and the Waves carried that momentum into the second set, winning 21-8 in the fourth match to finish.
Pepperdine remains unbeaten at 5-0 while Long Beach State takes its first loss of the season, falling to 5-1. The 49ers have two more home matches next week, hosting No. 5 Hawaii and No. 4 USC at the LBSU Sand Courts on Tuesday and Thursday. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
Men's volleyball
No. 4 Long Beach State defeated No. 11 Cal Baptist in a fierce five-set battle at the Pyramid 25-20, 25-17, 23-25, 23-25, 15-6.
The 49ers improved to 17-6 and 12-5 in the MPSF. Cal Baptist fell to 11-12, 7-10.
Long Beach State's Taylor Crabb and Cal Bapitist's Levi Cabral each had 20 kills to lead their respective offenses.

The Ultra Flip View features a clear interactive viewing window, which gives easy access to accepting / rejecting calls, signal and battery status, messages, missed calls, time/date, current music and more.

This case clips onto the back of your device without adding any bulk, and then folds over the front when not in use. This means that the most important part of the phone, the screen, is protected from harm without the added thickness and weight normally associated with flip cases.
View and action incoming calls and messages
Aptly named, the Flip "View" Cover case for Samsung Galaxy S5 includes a cut-out, which allows you to view incoming calls and messages at a glance through the front cover as well as being able to receive a call without having to open the front of the case.
Durable construction offers premium protection for your screen

BOWIE RECORDS FIRST ALBUM IN A DECADE "The Next Day," the first album to be recorded by the reclusive David Bowie in a decade, will be released on March 12, according to an announcement on his website on the singer's 66th birthday. The record is produced by the Thin White Duke's longtime producer Tony Visconti, who first worked with him on "Space Oddity" in 1969.
Bowie, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, recorded the album's 14 tracks (plus the three that will appear on the deluxe edition) in New York City, where he and his wife of twenty years, model Iman and their 12-year-old daughter have lived for years. The first new song, a reflective ballad called "Where Are We Now?," is available exclusively on iTunes. The accompanying video, that can be viewed on all the usual websites, shows the neighborhood in Berlin where Bowie lived in the '70 s when he recorded what's been called his Berlin Trilogy, "Low," "Heroes" and "Lodger."
Aside from a couple of rare appearances, Bowie essentially retired in 2004 after suffering a heart attack while on tour in Germany and his subsequent surgery.
JAGGER SAYS MAJOR STONES TOUR ON THE WAY, INCLUDING COACHELLA? Mick Jagger tells Rolling Stone magazine that The Rolling Stones are weighing offers from promoters for a full tour this year. "There have been quite a few offers. I'm going to see what's on the table and discuss it with everyone. We'll announce it when we figure it out." The band recently completed a brief five-concert 50 th anniversary tour of London, Brooklyn and Newark, N.J. that grossed more than $11 million per gig.
The rumor mill is hot and heavy that the band will headline this year's Coachella fest in Indio on April 12. Classic Rock Magazine says the band briefly listed the date in its phone app but then removed it. And the fest's producers have posted a photo on its Facebook page of a giant round stone alone on the field of the Empire Polo Club where the festival takes place.
In other Stones news, singer Marianne Faithfull, who was Jagger's girlfriend from 1966 to 1970, and whose mid-'60 s baroque pop hits include Jagger-Richards' "As Tears Go By," as well as "Summer Nights" and Come Stay With Me," told Q magazine that she had planned to see her former boyfriend's band at one of their two O2 Arena gigs in London, but didn't make it. "I meant to go, but I cancelled. I was on my own in London and I was scared to go to the O2 on my own. I'd hate being recognized."
JACK WHITE TOPS BEATLES WITH VINYL LP Former White Stripes mastermind Jack White has deposed The Beatles, "vinylly" speaking, reports Billboard. White's acclaimed solo album, "Blunderbuss" was the top selling vinyl album of 2012. His LP unseated the last two years' reigning champ, The Beatles' 1969 classic, "Abbey Road."
"Blunderbuss" sold 34,000 copies in 2012, while "Abbey Road" sold 30,000 copies.
Vinyl albums have been making a comeback in recent years because the sound quality is so much better than CDs and digital downloaded songs and albums.
Last year, 4.6 million LPs were sold in the U.S. That's an increase of nearly 18% over vinyl sales in 2011.
SIR GEORGE MARTIN RECEIVES AWARD In other Beatles news, the group's legendary 87-year-old producer, Sir George Martin, will receive England's Music Producer's Guild's Outstanding Contribution to U.K. Music Award, the guild's highest honor, on Feb. 7 at the Caf? de Paris in London.
In addition to his work with The Beatles, Martin produced Dame Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" theme and the record by The Beatles' Liverpool pals Gerry and The Pacemakers and Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas. Many individuals have been labeled, "the Fifth Beatle." George Martin, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1996 for services to the British music industry and to popular culture, IS that Fifth Beatle.
BEATLES PHOTOS A private unpublished collection of photos of The Beatles taken during their first full American tour in August 1964 will be sold to the highest bidder by Omega Auctions on March 22, reports the BBC. The auction date is the 50 th anniversary of the release of The Fab Four's debut British album, "Please Please Me" in England.
The 65 slides are clear, focused, candid and of professional quality.
They were taken by inventor and physicist, Dr. Robert Beck, and were kept in an archive in his Hollywood home. Included in the color pics are The Beatles in concert at the Las Vegas Convention Center, close-ups of the group during a press conference at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas and during a private party held at Capitol Records president Alan Livingston's Beverly Hills mansion.
Color photos of The Beatles prior to 1965 are rare. The collection is expected to sell in the $15,000-$22,500 range.
NEW HALL and OATES TOUR Blue-eyed Philly soulsters Hall and Oates, who teamed up in 1969 and really hit it huge in the late '70 s through the mid-'80 s, are hitting the road for a brief seven-date hit-filled tour that includes four shows in Florida. The "Do What You Want, Be What You Are Tour" runs from Feb. 22 - Mar. 13.
Hall and Oates own six No. 1 singles, including "Kiss on My List," "Private Eyes" and "Maneater," as well as seven platinum albums and six gold albums.
Billboard listed them at No. 15 on its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The duo was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.
DIXIE CHICKS SET FOR CANADIAN FESTIVALS With the exception of a few shows in 2010 where they opened for The Eagles and a wildlife benefit in Austin last October, the Texas-based Dixie Chicks have been mostly retired since 2006. The trio, frontwoman Natalie Maines, Martie McGuire and her sister, Emily Robison, announced on their website that they'll play two Canadian music festivals this summer.
First, they'll appear at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival on Prince Edward Island on July 7, then on July 13 they'll play the Craven Country Jamboree in Craven, Saskatchewan, along with Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Randy Travis and Sawyer Brown.
In an interview on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show, Maines was not optimistic about a future for the trio. "I just don't feel like it's the Dixie Chicks' time. I struggle with going out on five Grammys or - petering out."
She also made a reference to the intense heat she took a decade ago, in 2003, when she said onstage in London that she and the sisters were "ashamed that the President of the United States (George W. Bush) is from Texas." She told Stern, "I feel like things were tainted permanently." She related a death threat her aunt received and noted that a considerable number of the group's country fan base stopped coming to their concerts. "I naively thought those same people would come out again. It wasn't good."
Maines, 38, who told Stern that she still loves The Dixie Chicks and is still a member ("It's the most fun I've ever had in my life"), will release her first solo album, a rock album, "Mother," on May 7, produced by Ben Harper.
RUNAWAY LITA FORD BLAMES JOAN JETT Los Angeles-based all-girl hard rocking punk pioneers The Runaways, who lasted from 1975-1979, were the precursors to The Bangles and The Go-Gos.
The teenage quintet that scored the 1976 KROQ hit, "Cherry Bomb" (ranked No. 51 on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs) were omnipresent on the Sunset Blvd. club scene and toured as opening act for the likes of Cheap Trick and fellow Sunset Strippers Van Halen. They played their last gig on New Year's Eve 1978 at San Francisco's Cow Palace. The breakup became official four months later, in April 1979.
Lead guitarist Lita Ford, 54, spent considerable time last summer doing what she could to get her old band to reunite. Other members were singer-rhythm guitarist Joan Jett, singer-keyboardist Cherie Currie, drummer Sandy West (who died of cancer in 2006 at 47), and bassist Michael Steele, who left the group during its first year and in 1983 became a Bangle. Other Runaways bassists included Jackie Fox (1975-1977) and Vicki Blue (1977-1978).
Of a reunion, Ford, who had dinner with Jett marking the first time the two iconic women rockers had talked to each other in 30 years, told Bravewords.com, "I can't get a yes or no out of Joan, so, I've kind of thrown in the towel. It's now or never. I would love it, but for some reason - I don't know why - it's Joan's camp. The ball is in her camp. It's up to them (Joan and her management team)."
Ford is participating in the Monsters of Rock Cruise from March 16-20 aboard the MSC cruise ship Poesia out of Ft. Lauderdale, along with Cinderella, Tesla, Saxon, Queensryche, Nelson (Rick's sons Matt and Gunnar), Stryper, Y&T, TNT, L.A. Guns, Helix, Bang Tango, Faster Pussycat, XYZ and Great White. She'll be releasing a live album later in the year and her autobiography, "Living Like A Runaway," will be published.
Jett, also 54, has half-a-dozen concerts set so far this year between Feb. 16 in Wendover, Nev. and June 8 in Tunica, Miss. Currie, 53, is now a wood carving artist who uses a chain saw to create her artworks. Steele and The Bangles are currently off the road. According to Fox's Facebook page, the bassist, 53, is an attorney and suffers from painful fibromyalgia. In her most recent post she said she was spending her New Year's Eve watching "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." Blue (Tischler-Blue), 53, went into film production, directing and editing, and is a photographer. In 2011, she produced Suzi Quatro's video for her song, "Strict Machine."
ABBA's AGNETHA TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM ABBA's Agnetha Faltskog will release her second English language solo album since 1987 and her first album, "My Colouring Book," in 2004. She told Sweden's Expressen newspaper that she's working with English superstar Gary Barlow, leader of Take That. The as-yet-untitled album will be released this spring.
ABBA formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1972 and was an immediate worldwide sensation until its breakup a decade later in 1982. The vocal pop quartet has sold close to 400 million records worldwide and still sells millions of albums annually.
WATERS SAYS PINK FLOYD ENDED IN 1985 After initial Pink Floyd leader and tragic acid casualty Syd Barrett was fired in April 1968, Roger Waters became the band's major songwriter and creative force. Barrett's replacement, singer-guitarist Dave Gilmour also provided considerable songwriting but the lion's share belonged to Waters and the concepts for "Dark Side of the Moon," "Wish You Were Here" and "The Wall" were his.
As what happens with so many bands, internal friction came to a boiling point and Waters left the group in 1985. The remaining members, Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright recorded two more albums, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987 and "The Division Bell" in 1994.
Both the albums and the band's worldwide tours in support of the albums were gigantically successful. The end of "The Division Bell" tour also marked the end of the band.
The four former bandmates reunited twice since 1985. The first time was in 2005 when they performed four songs at former Boomtown Rats singer-turned activist Bob Geldof's Live 8 concert and worldwide telecast. The last time was when Gilmour and Mason joined Waters onstage for the final song of his "Wall" concert, "Outside the Wall," at London's O2 Arena in 2011.
However, in an interview with Britain's Sun, the 69-year-old Waters says that in his opinion, the band ended with his departure, regardless of the massive success the others experienced after his departure. "I left Pink Floyd for very good reasons and it was the right and proper thing to do. It was over in 1985 and it's still over.
Waters, who co-headlined the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit at Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago, is extending his "Wall" tour into its third full year and will be performing the album in its entirety at stadium shows throughout Europe this year. On Sept. 14, he'll perform "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety before what is sure to be a packed house of 105,000 at London's Wembley Stadium.
Gilmour, 66, last toured in 2006. Mason engages in various projects (see below). Wright died from cancer at 65 in 2008. Barrett, who lived a life in seclusion with his mother in his hometown of Cambridge, died there at 60 in 2006 from pancreatic cancer after suffering for years from diabetes.
Last month, Mason bought the London music store, Foote's, where he bought his first set of drums after it came to his attention that the store was going out of business, according to Musical Instrument Professional. Mason paid 7? pounds in 1958 for his first kit at the shop that was founded in 1920. At the time, Mason had no idea how to play the drums, but, as he wrote in his memoir "Inside Out," "after the failure of my early piano and violin lessons, this seemed like a perfectly legitimate reason to become a drummer."
THE SCORPIONS CANCEL THEIR RETIREMENT In 2010, it was announced that German heavy metal band, The Scorpions, would embark on a farewell tour in support of its final studio album, "Sting of the Tail." This farewell tour has continued ever since then.
Now the band realizes that the success of the album and tour has rejuvenated the group to the point that the whole retirement thing is off.
The quintet is having too much fun. So, the guys are going to record another new studio album, as well as release an album of unreleased songs from the '80 s. As for touring, that, too, will continue, although no upcoming dates have been announced.
The band was formed in Hanover in 1965 by guitarist Rudolph Schenker, who has continued with the band through the years, and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. VH1 ranked the band's 1984 rock anthem, "Rock You Like a Hurricane," at No. 18 on its 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.
GREEN DAY TO RESUME TOURING Green Day, the hard rock trio that was forced to postpone its fall tour in support of the three CDs the band released over the past few months, "Uno!," "Dos!" and "Tre!," after 40-year-old group leader Billie Joe Armstrong did a lengthy stint in rehab for substance abuse after a big time onstage meltdown at an all-star gig in Las Vegas, announced that they'll resume that tour in March, according to an announcement posted on its website.
Armstrong posted a note that said, in part, "I'm getting better every day. So now, without further ado, the show must go on. We can't wait to get on the road and live out loud. Our passion has only grown stronger."
The U.S. and Canadian leg of the tour resumes March 28 in Rosemont, Ill., outside of Chicago and ends April 12 in Quebec, Canada. Then, the band that formed in 1987 near San Francisco, will head for Europe beginning May 24 through July 13.
BOBBY WOMACK DIAGNOSED WITH ALZHEIMER'S Rock and soul singer Bobby Womack, who wrote The Rolling Stones' first hit, the countrified "It's All Over Now," in 1964, and released his first new album in a dozen years, "The Bravest Man in the Universe," last June, has been diagnosed as suffering early stages of Alzheimer's disease. He said in a statement that he plans to continue to perform and write songs as long as he can. Last year, he performed with British band Gorillaz, led by Damon Albarn of Blur, who produced Womack's new album.
In a recent interview with the BBC in London, the 68-year-old who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, said that the diagnosis was confirmed after he found that he had trouble recalling the titles of his songs and the people with whom he's worked.
Womack had had various medical problems through the decades. He started using cocaine in the late '60 s and by the late '70 s he'd became addicted. He has also battled diabetes and colon cancer.
ARTISTS TO HONOR SPRINGSTEEN AT GRAMMYS' MUSICARES L.A. BASH Bruce Springsteen is this year's MusiCares Person of the Year. He'll be honored at the award ceremony and concert at the L.A. Convention Center on Feb. 8, two days before the Grammy Awards are televised live on CBS.
Musicares is the Grammy's non-profit organization that provides health and medical assistance to needy musicians.
The impressive list of artists that will perform in tribute to the Boss includes Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Elton John, Mavis Staples, Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith, Sting, Eddie Vedder, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, Kenny Chesney, Ben Harper, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines, Mumford & Sons and John Legend.
BOYZ II MEN BEGIN VEGAS RESIDENCY The R&B vocal group Boyz II Men, who began singing together in Philadelphia in 1988 as a quartet, will begin a long-term weekend residency at the Mirage in Las Vegas, the hotel and casino announced. The most successful male R&B singing group in recording history will perform 78 weekend shows through 2013. In the '90 s the group that now operates as a trio logged four No. 1 singles, each going platinum. Four other singles went Top 5.
The 1992 single, "End of the Road," written by the team of L.A. Reid, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmunds and Daryl Simmons, went No. 1 on the Hot 100 pop chart and the R&B chart, as well as attaining that position across the globe including in the U.K., New Zealand, the Netherlands, France and Australia. Its 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 broke Elvis Presley's record. Two years later, that record was broken by another of its singles, "I'll Make Love to You," which was at No. 1 for 14 weeks. The following year, Boyz II Men did it again, this time with Mariah Carey, when "One Sweet Day" ruled the Hot 100 singles chart for 16 weeks.
KATE BUSH AWARDED CBE English art rock singer-songwriter Kate Bush, whose career dates to 1975, was awarded a CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for her services to music by Queen Elizabeth. Bush, 54, released a statement saying, "I feel deeply honoured to be on this list. I'm really delighted."
Bush has had marginal success in the U.S., with two of her albums breaking the Top 40, but in the U.K., she's been a superstar for decades, with six of her 10 albums going platinum and two more going gold. In addition, her 1986 greatest hits compilation CD, "The Whole Story," sold 4 x platinum in Britain. She also has 26 Top 40 singles there, including her 2012 record, "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" that reached No. 6.
Three other music-related individuals, all of them tied to The Beatles, made the Queen's Honours List. Stella McCartney, the successful 41-year-old fashion designer, who is the daughter of Paul and Linda McCartney, received an OBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). Beatles producer, Sir George Martin's wife, Lady Judy Gordon Martin, director of the Young Person's Concert Foundation, received an OBE for services to music and charity.
Actor-comedian-screenwriter Jeremy Lloyd, 82, who was married to "Absolutely Fabulous" actress Joanna Lumley for four months in 1970, and who began his career stateside as a cast member of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" for the 1969-1970 season, also was awarded an OBE. Lloyd, who created the popular British TV sitcoms "Are You Being Served?" and "Allo, Allo," is a friend of Ringo Starr's.
Starr and Lloyd appear together in the nightclub scene in "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964 where each is on the dance floor and they start out jumping each other to the music. Lloyd also appeared in The Beatles' second film, "Help!" as well as "The Magic Christian" in 1969 that starred Starr and Peter Sellers. That year, Starr and Lloyd appeared together in a skit on "Laugh-In," in which The Beatles drummer recalled all their film appearances while Lloyd looked at him as though he were a complete stranger.
Finally, Lloyd looked into the camera and said, "Sorry, you can't expect me to remember everybody."
BETTE BECKONED BACK TO BROADWAY This spring, Bette Midler will return to Broadway for the first time in more than 30 years. The 67-year-old singer and actress will play the lead in "I'll Eat You Last: A Chat With Sue Mengers," about the legendary Hollywood super-agent who died of pneumonia at home in Beverly Hills at age 79 in October 2011. The play was written by John Logan, who wrote the screenplay for the latest 007 flick, "Skyfall." Midler's last stint on the Great White Way was in 1979-1980, when she performed her one woman "Divine Madness" show, winning a special Tony Award.
In 1967, Midler played Tevye's daughter, Tzeitel, in the original Broadway production of "Fiddler on the Roof," that starred Zero Mostel in his Tony Award-winning performance as Tevye, the Jewish milkman in Anatevka, Russia, who is also the father of five daughters.
Among Mengers' stable of clients over the course of a quarter-century, from the '60 s through the mid-'80 s, were Barbara Streisand (who was maid of honor at her 1973 wedding), Cher, Steve McQueen and Joan Collins. Dyan Cannon's agent character in the 1973 whodunit, "The Last of Sheila," (co-written by Menger's client Anthony Perkins), and Elizabeth Taylor's final role, as Tinseltown agent Beryl Mason in actress-writer Carrie Fisher's 2001 TV movie, "These Old Broads," were both reportedly based on Mengers.
GENE SIMMONS TO PROMOTE SANTA ANITA Gene Simmons, singer-bassist since 1973 for costume rockers Kiss, is one of rock music's savviest and most successful businessmen. The Stronach Group that owns casinos and horse racing tracks, including Santa Anita in Arcadia, has tapped the 63-year-old Simmons to promote Santa Anita and its other tracks around the U.S., including Pimlico in Baltimore.
At an opening day appearance at the track the day after Christmas, Simmons said, "80 percent of the year, the track is empty. There's nothing going on. That's changing from today. We're going to make magic here. Santa Anita may as well be called Magic Land," according to the Pasadena Star-News.
He said that also might include future Kiss concerts there. Santa Anita is also the home to the California Philharmonic's summer "Festival on the Green" classical-pops picnic concert season.
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing.
The Guinness Book of World Records has certified that crooner Johnny Mathis has sold more 350 million records worldwide over the course of an ongoing career that began in 1955. His trademark heavy vibrato and sustained notes have served him well on such all-time romantic standards as 1957's No. 1 smash, "Chances Are" and "The Twelfth of Never," also from that year.
On "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson," the host called him, "the best ballad singer in the world."
Now 77, Mathis has never slowed down. He continues to record and perform a full schedule. His last album, "Let It Be Me: Johnny Mathis in Nashville," released in 2010, saw the singer cover such country pop hits as Willie Nelson's "Crazy," Elvis' "Love Me Tender," Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You," and the title cut, a hit for The Everly Brothers. The CD got him a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Already, Mathis has nearly two dozen gigs on his schedule, including Feb. 9 at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, near San Diego, and Feb. 14 at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, near Santa Barbara. On June 22, he'll be at the Pala Casino in Pala, near Fallbrook, just north of San Diego.

Even the most rabid fan will be challenged by questions like "what was the battle chant for the Jem'Hadar?" to such minutiae as "which real-world royal appeared in a 'Voyager' episode?". The scoring module tracks how many questions it has asked, and how many the contestant has gotten correct. Readers also have the option of inputting question numbers manually.

My experience with your company was quite satisfactory. The game is for 2 people, in this case my son and his wife. They are both Star Trek freaks. I looked at it and didn't find anything I could answer. They opened the book and started on the first page calling out the answers they know! I'm sure they will enjoy it immensely.

Obama Pledges 'New Culture Of Accountability' At VA
Listen to ABC News Radio on iHeartRadio
President Obama promises a "new culture of accountability" at the troubled Veterans Affairs Department. Speaking today at an American Legion convention in North Carolina, the President said reforms are being implemented to make the VA more efficient and more effective.
Obama recently signed legislation aimed at fixing the VA's longstanding and wide-ranging problems, including deep backlogs and long wait times for medical appointments. Many vets will now have the option of seeking private healthcare and more doctors and nurses will be hired.
Plans are also underway to expand VA facilities. Former Procter and Gamble CEO Robert McDonald was unanimously confirmed by the Senate as the new VA secretary last month. He replaced Eric Shinseki , who abruptly resigned in the spring.
The President promised the new regime at the VA will not tolerate corruption or incompetence.

Plant-based soaps formulated with certified organic base oils. Scented with essential oils and natural aromatics. Making ScentsArtisanal products are made in small quantities by traditional methods. Sunfeather adheres to the tenets of the "slow" movement, which began with food and are expanding to skin care and cosmetics. The slow movement encourages tradition, and a hands-on approach to production. The Slow Community is grassroots, not organized or controlled by any one organization. SunFeather products are a perfect example of slow, hands-on production. Everything they produce is made methodically in small 25-100 lb. batches. Their attention to detail and high quality, pure product ingredients define Sunfeather's work each day. Coming CleanSunfeather's fine natural soaps, creams and balms are made from healthful organic ingredients such as: freshly pressed olive and avocado oils from the Mediterranean; edible coconut, palm, and castor oils from the Pacific Rim; sustainably-harvested fair trade shea butter from Africa; and dried herbs, botanicals, naturally derived colorants, essential and nature identical oils, butters and waxes from around the globe. All Sunfeather products are hand packaged with labels they design. Artistry is a very important component of their work. The color, texture, and scent palletes that they create must integrate artistic form and practical function. Bringing new ideas to life and sharing them with Sunfeather's customers is part of their passion for the slow work ethic they enjoy. The Sunfeather StorySunFeather's history began in the fall of 1979, when founder Sandy Maine blended a passion for fragrant and medicinal herbs with a fascination and skill for soapmaking. With a core value that a business can deliver positive products to consumers, Sandy pooled her talents and started SunFeather in her backyard with a vat of bubbling oil and $15.00 worth of local cedar oil. For five years (while the business grew), Sandy hauled water in 5-gallon pails from a nearby spring to her farmhouse, which provided a peaceful setting and crystal clear water for making soap. Because she lived beyond the power lines (utilizing only a small generator and no telephone), all business was initially done by mail. Sandy visited the nearby town twice each week to place phone calls to customers. During that time, Saturday nights with her husband Louie were often spent wrapping and labeling soaps for shipment. As the business grew, employees joined the business to help with the increasing workload. Eventually, Sandy gave up her role as soap maker and focused on product development, sales and marketing. Sandy's work expanded to include authorship of numerous articles and books on soapmaking, herbal homekeeping and succeeding in business. Sandy's work has expanded the appreciation and use of handmade soaps in ways she never anticipated. Sandy continues her product development legacy as Sunfeather maintains the company's founding philosophies. Great soap is here to stay!

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson
College Theatre Program will present the farce
Don't Dress for Dinner Oct. 31, Nov. 1,
3, 4.
The play -- which is directed by LWC Assistant Professor of
Theatre Robert Brock -- will be performed at 7:30 p.m.
CT Oct. 31, Nov. 1, 3 and at 2 p.m. CT Nov. 4. Tickets are $5 for
the general public.
Don't Dress for Dinner is about
Bernard, a married man who plans to enjoy a weekend with his
mistress, Suzanne, at his country home only to have his wife,
Jacqueline, spoil things when she cancels a trip to see her mother.
A French play first produced in Paris in 1987,
Don't Dress for Dinner was adapted into
English and produced on Broadway and at regional
"Don't Dress for Dinner is
one of the funniest plays ever written. … It is a laugh a minute,"
Brock said. "The complications get piled on … and the lies and the
panic, but everything ends up all right in the end, and there's
actually no infidelity."
Although the play's characters learn lessons by the end of
the story, the plot has no larger message for the audience, Brock
"The play has no redeeming value," he said. "There is no
great moral lesson, there is not great educational lesson. If you
want to laugh, come to see this play."
Don't Dress for Dinner is the first
comedy Brock has directed at LWC since joining the college's
faculty. He said students have enjoyed learning how to perform a
"It's funny, but it's not easy (to produce)," he said. "They
are finding that you can't just be up there and deliver lines and
think that will get a laugh. They have to work. … Comedy is hard to
do. It looks easy when you see it, but it's really difficult to
pull it off."
The Lindsey Wilson College Theatre Program will
present Don't Dress for Dinnerat
7:30 p.m. CT Oct. 31, Nov. 1, 3 and 2 p.m. CT Nov. 4 in V.P. Henry
Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson St. For tickets, contact Robert
Brock at firstname.lastname@example.com or (270) 590-4803.
Directed by LWC Assistant Professor of Theatre Robert Brock
with Timothy Hoffman of Bowling Green, Ky. (Robert), Lake Salsbury
of Campbellsville, Ky. (Bernard), Sarah Jo Jacobs of Berea, Ky.
(Jacqueline), Alex Russell of Greenville, Ky. (Suzanne), Brenna
Murray of Russell Springs, Ky. (Suzette), and Tanner Strein of

Halloween Activities for Kids
If you're hosting a Halloween party for the kids, you'll want to have a few activities planned in addition to the trick or treating and not-so-spooky Halloween kids movies.
If you're hosting a Halloween party for the kids, you'll want to have a few activities planned in addition to the trick or treating and not-so-spooky Halloween kids movies.
Here are a few festive games and activites to keep your little ghouls from causing a ruckus.
Silly Skulls Bowl
A fun game of bowling -- Halloween Style!
How to Play:
Choose an area in your yard or home as the bowling lane.
Pick up some plastic skulls to use as bowling balls.
Set up craft bowling pins or plastic pins from a kid's bowling game.
Roll the skulls and try to knock down the pins.
Pumpkin Toss
Toss glowing eyeballs into pumpkins for a fun game.
How to Play:
Hollow out a large pumpkin.
Set the pumpkin in your yard or home.
Establish a tossing zone about 6 feet away from the pumpkin where kids will stand and toss.
Have kids toss silly stuff into the pumpkin like eyeballs, beanbags or Halloween candy and trinkets.
Mini Pumpkin Petangue
Have a blast with pumpkins!
How to Play:
Create 2 teams of no more than 3 people per team.
Give each team 3 mini pumpkins or sugar pumpkins.
Select a starting place in the yard and mark an 18-inch diameter circle.
Toss a coin to determine the starting team.
The first player on the starting team stands in the circle and throws a 1-inch diameter ball about 6 feet away, which becomes the "target."
Then, the first player must stand in the circle and throw his or her pumpkin trying to get it as close as possible to the target.
Next, a player on the opposing team stands in the circle and throws a pumpkin trying to get it closer to the target or knock the first pumpkin away.
Players continue throwing pumpkins until they are done.
A point is given for each pumpkin that is closer to the target ball than the opposing teams' pumpkins.
The team that earns 13 points first wins the game.
Bone Relay
A relay race for every ghoul to enjoy.
How to Play:
Have teams line up behind a starting point.
Determine a "run to" point that is a straight shot from the starting point.
Give each team a plastic bone as a relay baton.
On "go," the first player from each team races to the "run to" point, then back to the starting point.
The bone is handed off to the next player on the team who races to the "run to" point and back, handing off the bone to the next runner and so on.
The team who completes the relay first wins.
Spider Bingo
Use spiders to mark your number off in bingo.
How to Play:
Pass out Bingo cards to all players.
Instead of chips, use plastic spiders to mark the Bingo numbers that are called.
Have fun with the "B.I.N.G.O" in bingo! For example, instead of B10- Say "Boo 10" or instead of "G20" say "Ghost 20"
Pumpkin Painting
You can't go wrong with a round of pumpkin painting! Kids love drawing their spookiest and goofiest faces on those funny looking squashes. Turn it into a contest to really inspire that creativity.
mini pumpkins (one for each child)
paint and brushes
Any other trinkets kids will use to dress their pumpkin. (When we did this last year for my nephew, he used Mr. Potato head parts and stuck them in his pumpkin.)
On the day of the party
Set up a large table and place the paint, glitter, etc. on it.
To Play
Hand out a mini pumpkin to each child.
On the count of three have them race to the decorating table.
Give them 5 minutes to decorate their pumpkin in whatever way they want.
After the 5 minutes are up have them line their pumpkins along the edge of the table.
While the pumpkins dry, have the kids clean themselves up.
When they are finished, sit in a circle and have each child present their design.
Vote on the prettiest pumpkin, most creative, scary, etc. and whoever wins gets a prize.
Jennifer Kelly Geddes has hosted Christmas cookie swaps, New Year's open houses, Thanksgiving for 22, and all manner of dinner parties in her Manhattan and Ghent, NY homes.Read More »

When sculpting or shaping fondant, Gum-Tex is usually added to fondant. gum tex for those who may not know. Gum-Tex is the commercial name for a strengthening gum called tragacanth gum. It makes the fondant more malleable and shapeable, while also allowing the fondant to dry firmer.

Today, I rode 15 miles on Lamar Blvd from Barton Springs Road to Parmer Lane. To be absolutely honest, I didn't like this road at all. It's safely rideable but it's not fun or even pleasant. I'm going to find another route between my hotel north of town and the Austin Convention Center.

Name is Big Mike and im new to all this. I will be taking Security Training Online courses. PWB, CTP and WIFU. This is a great forum and im looking forward in learning and doing lots of searches for my answers.
Have a good day
Hi All! I've been a Back|Track user since B|T 2, and couldn't be happier that they've moved from nasty Slax to Ubuntu. I'm still learning a lot about tools and how/when to use them - there're a LOT of them!
I previously joined the forums under the pseudonym "RedLXXXIV" but had an epiphany some time ago (a self-realization, actually) and traded in my old handle for a new one.
At work, I'm a Linux/UNIX/Windows/Web/Hardware SysAdmin, so you can bet my hands are quite full. The thing I love most about my job though, is that I get to bring my passion with me. It's also fun too, sometimes. The PEBKAC and 1D.10-T errors keep things interesting... or are at least a conversation piece around the office.
I will never profess to know everything, but am here to help anybody new and willing to learn. And heck, I'll even learn stuff that puzzles or baffles me.
thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.

Hi. Not much to say. Just here to help out others and get help from others. Been using *nix style system as primary for several years, use Backtrack here and there for testing.
hellow, my name is andre, im new here
hope learn a lot from you guys
Hello Guys,
I'm a tech-guy from Hungary interested in mostly Linux and heavy-traffic web service solutions. I design service systems and storage for traffic-intensive websites, that's mostly what I do... As a result, my main area of interest are the design, architecture, scaling, security, tuning and balancing of such systems, but I also got interested lately in wireless (in)security, as a byproduct of a very bad and annoying experience I had with my own WPA2 wifi router at home... I'm telling you-- since then, I'm pulling cables everywhere...
Anyway... I hope I can learn a lot here, and maybe get myself useful sometime... Cheers!
i'm sure i can find what i'm looking for here!
Hello, Moubarak here. I am new to this community, glad to be part of it to be honest. Looking forward to everything that I can get and give around.
Have a good day.
Hi dix here to make friends & learn , I dont know jack
but if any one is intrested in taking me in and be my tutor
i gladly will be Honored in being your student.
Thank you.
Hey guys, I have been using backtrack from version 3 and I really like it. I currently use it to watch my network and to have fun trying to see if there are vulnerabilities in my own computers.
I would like to think that I know more then the average user when it comes to computers, but you can never truly judge your own skills without bias... I run a few Linux boxes and keep my family's windows computers safe.
I am currently taking an "Ethical Hacking" class and because its the first time running the class we are making the curriculum and exercises on the spot and documenting it for future classes. (We have a setup that emulates a really small version of the internet, so we can see how to protect our little pods from attacks and how to take care of a small network).
I finally signed up on the site after only being a reader so if I ever had any problems I would be able to ask for help.
See you guys out there.

Federal Judge To Hear Former NFL Players' Concussion Lawsuits
It's retired players against the National Football League in a Philadelphia courtroom today. They're suing the NFL because they claim the league was aware of the long-term health risks of concussions. The players' lawsuit argues the NFL "deliberately ignored and actively concealed" that information from players. The judge will hear arguments today on whether the case belongs in court.

When children are hurting, they need someone who can speak their language. At all different developmental levels, children come with a unique way to express themselves that is unlike adults. They need to be met where they are at and cared for. Harvest House loves working with children. They have a voice and we would like to listen.

CHICAGO -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association reports that the next event for its Women of the Industry (WIN) networking group will be a breakfast on Thursday, Nov. 15, during the Coffee, Tea & Water conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Orleans. This year's CT&W is scheduled for Nov. 13 through 15.
NAMA director of sales and service Sue Ralston invited female professionals working in vending and refreshment services to join the network. "This special-interest group met for the first time at NAMA's OneShow last year, and there was a great turnout," she recalled.
"With a LinkedIn page and a mission statement, the women are enthusiastic and ready to go," Ralston added.
That inaugural social event proved valuable to participants, according to Carla Variglotti of Cuyahoga Vending (Cleveland), one of its organizers.
