and public acceptances
of God and Christianity out of our society and out of public view, not the
other way around. Some of that is just part of our ever changing
interpretation of the separation of church and state, but the problem is, we
don't seem to be abiding by a solid basis for many constitutional decisions
as we might like to believe. As the separation of church and state concept
isn't actually in the Constitution in that form (we've all discussed that
before here), we are interpreting what is there in various forms - the
original statement just says that the state/government shall not advocate a
given religion, which it doesn't, and never has. There are of course state
laws and tax laws that further define what that means (e.g. a minister can
not endorse any political candidate from the pulpit and retain
non-profit/religious institution status - that's a grey area between the
restriction of the government not endorsing a religion and freedom of speech
- e.g. the bill of rights applies as long as it doesn't interfere with our
interpretation of the Constitution, and hence its' malleability gradually
increases when it applies to religion).
Bill of Rights - there is a reason for it no doubt, and it works, or should,
for everyone's benefit. That doesn't make governments, laws or bills more
morally perfect than God's laws, but I think most of the ones we have work
pretty well usually. But we have to remember that in a situation such as
faith, a lack of faith can't be considered a neutral point of view in terms
of rights. Where faith must be bound, so must irreligious beliefs - both
are faith decisions - one deciding to believe in God, the other deciding not
to. The reason is that to provide equal rights without conflict or
contradiction between two contradictory belief systems (Christianity vs.
Atheism/Agnosticism for example), one belief would have to be false to the
point of being considered non-existent.
Sidebar - Blaise Pascal had an interesting comment on the idea of
conflicting beliefs:
"Pascal's wager":
"Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and
you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God,
heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've
had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything
makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false,
you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be
true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell."

Agreed. The church we attend here isn't one of the largest (about 1000),
but has held two community discussion forums (both got local press) - the
first was to discuss homosexuality, and the second religious diversity
(including a Jew, Muslim, Catholic, etc). I wasn't able to attend either
one, but heard both were very successful at opening up dialogue and giving
people a chance to ask questions of panel members on all sides of both
issues. The reason our church hosted this was simply to open up dialogue.
I believe it both were moderated by 3rd parties so there wouldn't be a
question of objectivity.

To a degree that is true, but a Christian is simply someone who believes
that Jesus is the son of one true God, and that he died to overcome our
sins, giving us a direct path to God and the promise of eternal life.

7 is a good number. I do also see the Bill of Rights under attack, but
perhaps from a different perspective.

It isn't easy, from any perspective. But I also agree, talking is the only
way to understand, if not resolve differences.

Actually I've never heard a sermon about a specific move to outlaw
Christianity. Some ministers do refer to specific events where a Christian
organization or event was sanctioned because it was perceived as being too
public (a deviation of the separation of church and state). Why would the
ACLU want to prevent someone from putting a cross on their own land? Are we
going to extend eminent domain to enforce the separation of church and
state, as a local judicial court chooses to interpret it?
In general most Christians don't worry about the future, and I don't either.
I only proposed this perspective, hypothetically for the sake of this
discussion, to open up thinking about where we could end up if the trend
many of us see continues to build. Most of the events indicating such a
trend never make the news. If you are interested, I'll relate more the next
time we have a chance to get together.

And I see the opposite also being true - Ted Kennedy for one. There is some
public profile and influence from prominent Christians, but I don't think it
is nearly as strong as the news would have you believe. I've either
attended churches headed by some of these leaders, or know other ministers
that have relationships with them.

That would be great. I'll drop you a line the next time I'm in your neck of

>Hey all,
I am writing this on our new Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.
Pretty nice actually. I still like OSX way better than XP, but this
is a nice computer. Dual core, 1G ram etc etc.
One thing I really like is the hot-stuff Radeon X1400 video
card. I have a dual-display extended desktop going where I
can jabber with you all on this screen while watching porno
on the other.
Just kidding...
It is cool though if you want to quote something, or keep track
of something while doing something else. I have used extended
desktops on lots of macs but this is the first PC. Works well,
and the card looks terrific.
Why buy a PC? My wife needs it for work, and I need it for
a bunch of audio apps for my work as well.
I like it!

I no longer have a company car with fully funded fuel and maintenance. :o(
However, what I do have is a job somewhat in the entertainment industry,
finally, as a day job, so I'll be able to really get into what I'm doing
with any luck.
And I do have a nice classic car with a V8. Petrol, as we call it, or what
U.S. residents usually call "gas" is priced through the roof, and it does
guzzle the gas, but conveniently our government just introduced $2000 subsidies
on LPG conversions, which is an actual gas in the physics sense to run cars.
Petrol here costs about $1.40 a litre at the moment, or $5:30 a gallon. LPG
costs only about 40c a litre, or $1.51 a gallon. You do use about 20% more
fuel, but at those prices the savings are obvious, and I can run my big old
heavy car with a V8 for considerably less than the average new car on petrol,
so it's all good.
Hmmm... Austereo... finally a job in the right industry... WOOHOO!!

It looks nice and they certainly appear to have lots of clientel.
They charge $150/hr for tracking. That has got to be close to the most
I have heard of around these parts.

pedant but I'm going to say it anyway. The
founders were keenly aware of the importance of keeping religion out of the
public sphere precisely because the recent history of Europe had shown how
dangerous it is when it gets there. About a hundred years earlier (and the
American aristocracy that made the country were keen historians almost to
a one) a religious war had sent England very close to complete anarchy. The
entire idea of the country was to avoid entanglement in the issues that had
plagued Europe for centuries, sectarian violence surrounding religion and
monarchy. It bothers me immensely when somehow Franklin and Jefferson are
retrofitted with vestments.
As I've said here, I respect anyone's beliefs unless and until they interfere
with my life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. If you don't like 'suggestive'
billboards or strip clubs you'll have to pass laws against them that meet
the standards of the constitution. As Jefferson said, whether my neighbor
wishes to worship a different god than I do, or no god at all, neither picks
my pockets nor breaks my bones. But considering the damage that religious
strife has caused in history I think any error should be made on the side
of caution.

As for religion in the public sphere, the first amendment says
less about it than some think.
It clearly bans a state religion and the
prohibition of religious practice, and I think it is reasonable to
extrapolate that it protects the beliefs of atheists. However,
the idea that it can be used to ban crosses on veterans cemetaries, the pledge,
and "In God We Trust" on currency, is legally and
historically suspect. There are several cases in the works to test
this theory, so we shall see.

I call comments like these "atheist campfire songs", because they
allow atheists to feel superior while ignoring history.
Considering that the 20th century brought us 200 million dead
at the hands of secularists like Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot and so many
others, it might not quite be time for the superior dance yet...
Well I wasn't expecting the STALINIST PURGES!
NOBODY expects the STALINIST PURGES!! our chief weapons are
fear, intimidation, the gulag and murder!!
DCActually, I said that _I consider_ the three religions based on the vengeful
Levantine sky god 'morally suspect' which I still believe. Unsurprisingly,
you equate a general 'belief in God' with 'DC's christian beliefs' which
might bring quizzical looks from 850 million Hindus.
And of course our currency always had 'in god we trust' on it, except that
it didn't.
http://www.treasury.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-go d-we-trust.shtml
We atheists don't really have an agenda. How could we? There's not much prosteltizing
to be done for non-belief. I guess we do have one agenda, to be left alone
on that pursuit that happiness Jefferson promised us.

totally wrong about the "open vs fretted" scale...they are totally

"partials",neck relief,fret height,finger pressure.As I said before your
"experiment" with nuts has been done,WAY back in the early 1960's.by using a
fully adjustable nut (imagine your Tune-O-matic bridge on the nut and
saddle). This did NOT catch on to any builders(except Microfret,which went
out of business) Why didn't Fender or Gibson,or Martin pursue this type of
adjustment??..It is a trade-off only..You are only "splittting the
difference" of the total distance of the string...It is still impossible to
divide the freq numbers evenly....This is "Physics",based on Pythagorean
theory..If you like,I can recommend a book for you to study about the
subject. Understanding the scale of a 6-string guitar is elementary,compared
to the 200 plus strings on a grand piano scale design...There are literally
hundreds of scale designs for pianos..NONE of them are perfect....

As far as proselytizing. Here you go:
Atheist evangelists on parade:
http://www.the-brights.net/
http://www.atheists.org/
http://www.atheists.com/
and there's lots more. My uncles were good friends with Madalyn
Murray O'Hare, and I can tell you that while atheist proselytizing
may take the form of ridicule, hostility, and hatred more than
exhortation and encouragement, it does, most certainly, exist.
As far as the currency goes, I care much less that the statement
is on there, than I am alarmed at the push to take it off, all the

As an atheist, when I get tax exempt buildings and special parking spaces
I'll start believing we have an agenda.

You're just not getting it. Try this. Take a good tuner, say a
Petersen. Now take a variety of guitars, use any scale length or
multiple scale lengths that you wish.
Compare the perfectly tuned open string to the pitch at the first
fret. Use consistent pressure. Over a sampling of several guitars,
you will find pitch problems unless the nut is compensated.
These pitch problems make significant problems when the chord
you play has different open strings than another chord. If one chord
is in tune, another is not. Compensating the nut to match the
needs of the individual guitars solves the problem.
I can show you the difference on a Petersen tuner, and it certainly
is audible.

What I did was simply correct the inaccuracy of the nut one
one particular guitar. Get it?

Don't need to. I can correct the
built-in inaccuracy of the stock nut however. You need to have
a well setup guitar before you do any of this. Pressure is up to the
player, but good players are pretty consistent and that has no
more to do with a compensated nut than it has to do with a
compensated bridge.

Because they sell so many guitars without caring about it?
Because to do this right requires individual attention to the
uniqueness of each guitar?
Because they do not know what strings you are
going to use? Because it would add 50 bucks or so to the cost of
each guitar to spend the time to get it right? Because a lot of
players don't care and don't want to spend the money?
Some of us do care.

Nonsense. I simply did the same thing at the nut that we do

of recommending books, why don't you try it yourself?

Perfection is a non-issue. Improvement is a real issue indeed
considering how many guitars have this problem.
Go check this out for yourself before you tell me I am wrong any
more ok?

No you don't. You have zero respect for those beliefs and
anyone who knows you can confirm this.
We say we respect beliefs, but we often do not. Madalyn Murray
O'Hare was a nasty old bat, full of hate and bitterness, who in the
end was killed by someone who subscribed to the same almighty
self as the final authority, that she did. Her beliefs lead straight to
hell IM-ever-so-HO.
Now, as an american, and certainly as a christian, I hope I would
change her tire in the rain, and I hope I would jump in and save
your butt from a beating if you got too friendly with one of your
brazilian stripper chicks and some guy decided to teach you a
lesson.
This practice of respect is what is lacking, not the profession of
respect, which is just words... I wish atheists practiced respect
more towards Christians. But hey, we understand your need to
dump on us. After all, we know about your doubt that we are
wrong, and your fear that we may be right...
DCHi there...I have studied this type of thing for 40 years..I have set up
dozens of guitars,and tuned thousands of pianos..I have a major in
physics...I have a "solid state" Peterson tuner that is 30 years
old...before that,I had a "Tube" strobe by Conn( 1970)..I also have new
Peterson small model..but they are only accurate to .01. I use a Reyburn
Cybertuner these days ..accurate to .001 of a cent. I did your "experiment"
with Strats and Les Pauls 35 years ago..It is only "splitting the
difference" You can have only one "string length" whether it's a straight or
compensated terminal end..Either a scale is "perfect" or "equal temperament"
or it is "non-perfect" compensated,as most fretted instruments are(unless
you are talking about fretless guitars,in which case a compensated bridge or
nut would be useless) Pianos attempt to have "equal temperament"..they have
no frets,but they do have even and odd "Partials" .These vary according to
string length..That's why a 9-foot Steinway D sounds much better than a 4
foot upright,at the same exact pitch...The only note on a well-tuned piano
that is "perfect" is the A-440,the rest of the notes are "tempered" to that
A..an octave above the A 440 is NOT 880 !!....The fret placement on guitars
is governed by the "nodes" on the string length..If you had a guitar neck 6
feet long,the sound would be beautiful,full of even order partials..but the
fret spacing would be huge..and the need for compensation would diminish
greatly...Lloyd Loar lenghtened the scales,and compensated the bridges on
all Gibson products in the 1920's ,making a huge difference it the sound .
My 1918 pre-Loar mandolin in very "off" in it's scale design..very short
neck..but it still sounds great,and must be adjusted sometimes for different
keys...BUT you CANNOT adjust for the first fret without adjusting for the
whole string length...period...I NEVER said you were wrong,I just said you
are only covering a small part of the picture...

Peak voltage. Less voltage P2P IME has meant less wattage out.
To support this (possibly dated) information, I have been into a load of car
audio amps, and one of the first things they do is step the voltage (through
some kind of converter be it a dc to dc or a tesla coil setup) to a more
respectable number. There is a cost in efficiency this way, but that's how
it works in those designs.
9 - 11 volts makes this amp suspect, however they could be onto something
I'm not aware of.... which is why I'd start with that chip and bang on it
and test it's thermal output qualities also. Perhaps it's stepping up
internally and doesn't need a large rail voltage?
hmmm....

Wow, she was behind the landmark 1964 School Prayer decision
that formed the basis for much of our current case law on church-

I never doubted it. You do also ridicule Christians on occasion, and
spare me the blather about your respect for UFO cultists. You
practice respect towards them, but you still think they are fools.
Which makes you like everyone else.

Why should you care? There IS no hell right? And you got my
position wrong anyway.
You must have missed some of what I said to Sarah. I strongly
believe that Hindus, Muslims etc can go to heaven. It is not
about adherence to Christian orthodoxy, it is about our response to
the Spirit of God. Everyone deals with that issue, regardless of
their faith or lack of it. No one goes to hell because some
missionary did not get to them in time. No little

kid who dies of
cancer at the age of 5 goes to hell because they have not heard
the name of Jesus. That would be pure barbarity, and I think it is
unscriptural as well.
I do believe that a sincere search for God will lead them (and us)
to Jesus Christ at some point, but if they die before they get
there, do they go to hell? That's not what I see in the Bible.
BTW, I can envision an atheist in heaven. (In an anechoic chamber
testing mics... forever and ever, and never opening the doooorrr...)
Seriously though, imagine someone who saw "religious" people
of whatever stripe, slaughter their family? Wouldn't their atheism
make sense? Wouldn't it be a further injustice for them to go to hell
because of what they had no power over?
I differ strongly with the Bible Belt folks who think anyone that
doesn't say the name of Jesus is conigned to eternal fire which
I don't believe in either. What the hell (pardon the pun) is the
point of burning someone for ever and ever? Is it not simple
cruelty? Is it not simple perversity at some point? After 20 years
or so of burning, is it not just silly?
Oy, coffee break's over, back on yer 'eads!
(remember that joke?)
So, no, I don't *know* you are going to hell, and it's not my place
to make that call. I really hope you do not.
We need mic testers!

But that's the only dang part of the picture I was talking about!
For someone with a good guitar, good frets, and new strings,
properly setup, this will still make a real difference when playing
open chords.
That's it.
I purposely stayed out of the temperment discussion and I
am still staying out of it. Someone once said "if you do everything
at once, you do everything poorly" and this little forum is not
the place for a course in temperment. It is, however, a good place
to discuss a mod that makes your guitar play better.
DCI'd love to see what you found experimenting around with one
of their chips.
BTW, they have a 100 watt (@8ohms) amp that runs on 60v
rails. Does that sound reasonable?
I bet they'd sample you one...

I did a patent search on compensated nuts a while back, and it turns
out that someone has a nut that may be mounted in the standard
slot, yet has an overhang to allow for precise fitting to each
instrument. He's not doing anything with the patent. Swell huh?
So, being my idea was not patentable, I decided to share it with
others. If someone gets better guitar sound because of it, then I
am a happy guy. I have it on 2 guitars not and it works very well
indeed.

gt;Aaron,
Here's the link for the chip I was talking about
http://www.tripath.com/pb1400.htm
I meant to put it in my post.
DCThis sounds pretty interesting guys! Thanks for the links.
I was an early adaptor of Crown's BCA or class-I power amps. Here's a link
to the white page for any geeky types.

http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=3354Good luck mate!Kim,
Don't be fooled into the $2000 rebate thingy....The govt isn't converting
their fleet, do you think there may be a reason for that?
From what I've heard you use around 40% more fuel and in your car, maybe
more....look into it a bit more mate....
Also the LPG fitters (some) are all upping their prices now that they see
that the govts giving a rebate.
Buyer beware.....--

The price I got was $2800, so I'm only paying $800 to convert.
I think these figures of 30-40% more fuel, which I have heard, are more talking
about newer fuel injected petrol cars, where they put a gas carby on, rather
than injection, hence you are losing the benefits of fuel injection. I've
got a petrol carby already, so i don't have that advantage to lose. My old
Kingswood I had in the 90's ran duel fuel and the difference was about 20%...
around the city it got about 6km a litre of petrol, 5km a litre of LPG.
Hence I'm basing my figures on experience with a similar car, rather than
the figures quoted.
Worst case scenario it will be cheaper, but not as much cheaper as I'd hoped...
Cheers,
Kim.

> http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-1272980089639960023& amp;q=loose+changeI think, FWIW, that there's no such thing as perfect
intonation - other than on instruments that don't have any kind
of fixed intervals (such as violins, cellos, trombones, etc,
etc); and that perfect intonation CAPABILITY is subject to the
operator, who - being human - is imperfect as well, and
therefore incapable of hitting every note with perfect pitch
every single time. So I say, you can even-temper your pianos,
intonate your guitars, install new nuts, do whatever you want
to get as close as possible, yes; but nothing's ever going to
be perfect, so don't sweat a few cents off here & there.
And if you're THAT picky about perfect intonation, let's not
even TALK about "pushing pitch" as a vocal technique. lol

I stumbled across these guys. I don't know how good they are
but I am sure some of you would enjoy building some of these.
DCDubya,
I've been taking care of myself in hope of being put on the kidney transplant
list.
It should happen this month! I have a few people interested in giving me
a Kidney,
but they have to go though a big exam to see if they are a good match. This
can't
happen until I'm put on the list. If all goes well I could have a transplant
by
early 2007!
respect

d. Meeting and
discussions to be set for Monday of this coming week. Not what I wanna
hear. She's badly shaken by the news. I'm just kinda stuck emotionally
until I learn more and we know what we're looking at. At this point, we
can't both cave in... somebody's gotta hold the line.

my mom lived for a good 45 years after having most of her thyroid glands
removed. Hers wasn't cancer, but something related.
It's common for folk to live on replacement thyroid hormone of one sort or
another.
Don't worry. Hopefully they can take it out and it hasn't metastasized.
Good thing they found it.

Nappy-
first of all, it's great to see you again!
second of all, I was pretty impressed by Loose Change.
Then some months later I read this:
http://911research.wtc7.net/reviews/loose_change/index.html
Check it out!

What is "pushing pitch"? This is the first I've heard the term.

It's where you hit a sustained note & after holding that pitch
for moment or two, "push" ever so slightly sharp shortly before
the next passage or line... it creates tension if done properly,
and while some people probably do it inadvertently, there are
also vocal instructors who teach it as a regular technique.
You hear it in ballads a lot - think Mariah, Whitney, et. al.
NeilLike most engineers I am not a big fan of mp3s, but sometimes I have to
d/l a tune for work situations and you can't beat the convenience of the
services. I want to know which, if any, service has higher quality
files. I also am looking for a service that does not prevent me from
playing them on different machines in my studio. I keep internet and
administrative functions on a separate machine from my recording
computer(s).
I have a subscription to Rhapsody, which works OK and is a pretty good
deal. I don't like the I-Tunes model too much, because it seems more
restrictive with licensing. Has anyone found a clearcut winner among
these companies?For the studio, Raphsody is thee best service. And the qulaity of thier MP3's
(WMA's) is really good. You don;t havr to buy and songs, just pay your monthly
service fee.

I just thought I'd post because I just got a set of the orginal NS10M speakers,
and they are awesome! I've never had a mix translate so well in all my life.
I can hear the reverbs better. I can fix probelms in the mids that I couldn't
hear before. The detail in incredible.
These little babies are in every studio because they are fantastic. Don't
believe the hype that they suck. I don't know what's wrong with people who
bash these things.
If you don't own a set of these, go buy one before you die! I would honestly
take a bullet before giving these things up.
MikeIn stock again - ordered today. Free shipping... sweet deal -- even if it

SE for 5 times the cost and know that you got the real SHIT!"... the answer
is:
Because, John, I already HAVE "the SHIT" in a shockmount case measuring
3'-2"D x 5'-8"H x 26"W filled with $7000 @ 347lbs worth of fabulous
pieces.
Moreover, any great player can get the "real SHIT" sound out of almost
anything because "SHIT" isn't born on a circuit board. I'm sure any pro
players here will know exactly what I'm talking about. I can walk into GC,
pick up a $149 Mexi-Strat, plug into a 7 watt $50 amp pull a crowd in 3
minutes.
So for me, at 80 bucks delivered, (versus the $400 ToneLab) I don't really
need to hear the sounds in the STOMP II nearly as much as needing to know
that (Deej) someone with reputable ears has played it, heard it, likes it,
makes zero complaint about noise level or fidelity and has general positives
about it.

I just moved to the Boston area(arlington) and was wondering how many Paris

been down for close to 3 years now. Just got it back up and thought I'd
check in here to see how things are going with my fellow Paris users.
peace,
TRossiSteve, that link you posted does not make a good enough argument to debut
the "Loose Change movie (documentary).
I'm not a conpriracist, but I've never believed the US govermnet's stories
on 911. IMHO, we are dealing with a some really power hungry, sadistic, neo-conservatives
in the white house and his fellow neo cons.
They are evil to the core. And have, dragged this nation down to the pits!!!..
It's really ashame that we 2 years left with these evil neo-cons. They are
as anti american as the as the so-called terrorist. Impeachment hearings
should start immediatly.!
And to think, we let them Impeach Clinton.. Now, with our civil liberties
being taken from us, a Patriot act which gives the Gov and police the right
to do anything they want. And a phony department names Department of Homeland
security, which is a weak as 2 minute cornflakes all under the shamof making
us "feel safe"!! Safe from what ?? The terrorist??or our Goverment???
These days(I'm not kidding) I'll take my chances with the terrorist..Why??
At least I know what my enemy stands for. My other enemy (Us Goverment.aka
Bush administration) is an enemy that's supposed to be for me and the good
of this union. Not, to make us feel threaten, un-patriotic, fearful, and
distrustful of it's workings.They are threating is taking away "free-speech,
and most importantly, 'A right to decent!~!!" ..
I love the poeple of this Nation. For we are a great people!!! But, we are
under the leadership of a wanna be dictator!!and his cronnies.. Lastly,
most americans feel 'Less Safe " now than 2002.. Wanna bet? Let's first ask
the good folks from New Orleans & Mississippi and Alabama .. That showed
every American how our Goverment would repsond if we were attacked..???

I need to make a door for it and seal it.
Does anyone have a recommendation on what type of seal and or design to use.
A quarter inch seal would work best for the existing design, but I can alter
it to what ever need be.
I was thinking of just making a wood door out of quarter inch ply
and sealing it with some sort of weather stripping. I was thinking of a compression
type latch.
So the entire door will be removeable.

And, I don't monitor at high volumes. I guess time will tell.
As for the low end, I am in the market for a sub. :)
But, I started mixing with these, and it was like putting on an old, comfortable
pair of shoes. I just knew them instantly. My first crack at a mix on them
sounded exactly the same in the car. It was a perfect translation. I love
thses things.
There are so many people who bash these speakers, but I am so glad to have
them and wanted to though my 2 cents into the debate about them.
All the best,

This flanger looks amazing to me.
http://www.foxroxelectronics.com/
(click on Paradox TZF) it seems to come really close to what we
did with 2 tape machines years ago.
I am not a big pedal guy, but this guy
http://www.barberelectronics.com/
has sold me 3 pedals so far. The Tone Press parallel compressor,
in particular, makes even my best guitar and amp sound better.
I use it almost all the time.

At least I know what my enemy stands for. My other enemy (Us Goverment.aka

of this union.

Welcome to the area. I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago
but moved here to go to Berklee in '75. I never returned.
My wife and I bought a house down in Raynham which is
towards the cape but more inland. Boston is a great city=20
to live in or near. The music scene is fruitful with all the music
schools located here. There's a glut of studios too.
I whizzed by Arlington about 45 minutes ago on my way home=20
from a gig. =20
Arlington is a great location. I used to go to the Cabrada(sp?) Bakery
next to the Capitol (?) Theater on Mass Ave.. Croissants to die for.
The best general practitioner I ever had a practice in Arlington also.
If you're looking for a great doctor I give the man an A+++.=20
Anything else?!!! Enjoy your new world!

LaMont-
I think it does a very good job of debunking some points which are kinda
shakey, but more importantly, highlighting several points which the writer,
Jim Hoffman, feels are right on the money. His take on it is that the case
for something fishy going on is much stronger if one concentrates on the
strongest points.

Just in case you'd like a little more evidence that your belief is correct,
take 55 minutes and check this one out.
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=conspiracy+of+silence
It's one of most disturbing thing I've ever seen.
-steveI hate the idea of war as much as you do. I have actually thought long and
hard about going over there myself. If there was something I could do other
than get in the way. and I didn't have a family to support, I might check
with the military to see if there's a *geezers batallion*. I don't have any
formal military training, but I know how to handle firearms, and I'm deadly
accurate.
It would piss off my wife to no end and I'm 56 and 'purt'near used up so I
don't know how well this old body would handle the rigours of battlefield
combat and the heat, but I'll guarantee you that I would have no problem at
all if muy son or daughter joined a volunteer army and that army was called
on to fight, I would support them 100%.
If the democratic party wins the election, they'd better be ready to fight.
Our enemies aren't going to stop attacking us just because of a regime
change here. The politics of the left are much more abhorrent to them than
those of the right. They are, however, quite happy to allow the left to do
their political infighting for them here. The weaker and less resolved we
are the better they like it.
Here's what you're in for amigo:

The human rights section and the women's section is especially wonderful.
Enjoy.

Anybody can just say "Well, I do'nt belive you". Or say,"that's not true"..

I love the ablilty to easily turn it off, too.
As for fatigue, I can;t begin to count the number of 12 hour + days I have
spent on them and don't feel fatigued, and my ears test out just fine. I
do monitor very quietly, and if certain playbacks need to be loud, I usually
switch to the Tannoys.
Love the way they translate...

Nobody wants war. Bin Ladin stated very publicly that the reason he thought
he could win this war was because America no longer had the stomach for war
and that we were weak. He's right, apparently. Just look at the polls.
Clinton would have surrendered by now. Bush, no way, and that's one of the
few things I like about him.

The *sham Iraq war was started by Sadaam Hussein in 1991 and was still going
strong, aided by the UN, French and Russians when Bush took office.

Hmmm.........well, how about your poster child for all that is good in the
world, Bill Clinton? This argument is lame LaMont and you should know it.
Let's look at how we got here, shall we? We're coming out of a war that has
caused a glitch in the economy and Bush I has to raise taxes to pay for it.
Oher than that, it's roaring because of the Reagan tax cuts. We elect slick
Willie because he talks a good game, there has been an end to the war,
sanctions are in place and the world is in a relatively stable condition.
The Soviet economic system has failed, capitalism is starting to remake
poliotical thinking in China (just as it has in Viet Nam) and there are some
incredible changes and opportunities to be had in the world. The

re were
still lots of threats and apparatchiks who were basically gangsters who
would sell their mother for money and the nuclear stores in Russia were
controlled by these guys. We needed an intelligence service to keep us up to
speed on a rapidly changing world.
Now what would a *real*leader do? Would he live by opinion polls and create
a personality cult or would he obey his oath of office and protect this
country?
Well, the first thing he does is betray this country by instituting a new
policy at the CIA that severly limited the interaction of the CIA with
anyone who could be considered an embarrassment to the administration due to
their human rights history.That pretty much takes 90% of the folks in the
middle east, China and Russia who might be associated with terrorism and
espionage off the table. Well, this kind of idealism is all fine and good in
a perfect world, but totally unrealistic in the *real* world. By the time he
left office we had lost all of our intelligence assets in the places we
needed them the most.......so throughout his administration, he spouts off
about IRAQ having WMD's and periodically bombs here and there while turning
a blind eye to the French, Russians and UN parasites who are doing
everything possible to ensure that Sadaam can continue to sell them oil
under the table while rearming his military at the expense of the very
Iraqis that the sanctions were meant to protect........but hell man, the
polls said that this was a good thing and so rather than take any kind of
unpopular position, he went with the polls. Well look where we are now. This
is Clinton's doing, not Bush's. Bush just has the balls to do the right
thing and doesn'rt live by the polls.
Also, he botched the opportunity to have Bin Laden when Sudan offered him
up. He did nothing when the Cole was bombed. He withdrew from Somalia after
18 of our soldiers were killed which was one of the main reasons Bin Laden
came to the conclusion that we were weak and would not fight. He, along with
Sen. Dennis DeConcini, Arizona Democrat, blocked the hiring of additional
Arabic translators. Janet Reno's 1995 edicts regarding cooperation between
domestic intelligence agencies essentially hamstrung them and rendered them
completely ineffective. I could go on and on...... A good intelligence
apparatus takes years to build but can be destroyed fairly quickly by an
idiot like Clinton.
The deaths from the sanctions in Iraq was one of the main reasons Osama used
for recruitment and "rationalizing" 911. Clinton was relying on the same
intelligence Bush was. Notice that when Congress was voting to authorize war
on Iraq, Bill Clinton did not state in any way, that there were no WMD, even
though it now turns out that if they were destroyed, it was in the early
1990's.
The democrats are again relying on polls and there is no doubt in my mind
that if Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Kucinich and there ilk ascend to
power in the Congress, it will be a disaster because they cannot reconcile
the fact that though 911 was not directly sponsored by Iraq, Iraq under
Sadaam was still a huge part of the picture...........made moreso by the
crappy intelligence apparatus that was the Clinton legacy..
Though there is little evidence Saddam was behind 911, What there is, is
evidence that the sanctions were killing a lot of Iraqis and that sanctions
were going to have to be lifted. Then would we be safe? Does anyone think
that if sanctions were lifted on Saddam (which they would have to be, since
there were no WMD), that Saddam today would not be going nuclear like Iran?
If the lack of WMD was known in 2003, *our allies* would have placed major
pressure to lift sanctions. And if sanctions were lifted, Saddam would be a
great danger. Do you think for one minute that Sadaam, seeing Iran going
nuclear, would not want to go there himself.......again........with great
haste? If the sanctions were properly enforced, a lot of people would not
have died but no one was protesting while people were dying then. It
wouldn't look good in the polls.
Now LaMont, you seem to think that somehow if we just appease these facists,
they will leave us alone and everyone would just be our buddy while totally
ignoring the 8 years of unmitigated disaster that *was* the Clinton
administration. (and don't call me a ****'in neo-con....I voted for him too)
To be a *real* leader Clinton would have immediately recoginzed that the
entire planet was at a crucial place in the history. He could have
instituted a policy of energy independence while we were in a relatively
secure position. It wouldn't have been popular because he wanted to balance
the budget (a fleeting PR move on paper that weakened our security in many
ways). He could have exercised some *real* leadership rather than making
excuses for the Europeans when they were quite willing to allow yet another
genocide in Kosovo while dealing us under the table with the sanctions in
Iraq.
Had we had any decent intelligence, we might not have had the debacle in
Somalia, but oh no.......can't deal with unsavory characters now can we? The
polls wouldn't support this............and finally........Mr. Bill abrogated
his responsibility as a wiorld leader (his great ambition, right) by not
calling the UN to account for ignoring the most inexcusable, racist and
*unhumanitarian* act since the Holacaust by ignoring Rwanda completely and
then offering up a teary eyed *excused* that he didn't know what was
happening. It was his job to know. If he did know, he's criminally
negligent. If he didn't know, he's criminally negligent. This failure of
leadership is inexcusable and smacks of extreme racism..
Yeah.......let's let the liberals run the show again. I can't
wait...........and before you pop off and start calling me a neo-con, be
advised that I'm very much pro choice, in favor of population control and
think that organized religion has created a *rat breeding* mentality that
threatens the very existence of the human race, believe that global warming
is very real and that we need to take action immediately or it's going to be
too late, am a borderline nut case when it comes to animal rights, hate war,
believe that immigration reform should be a humane process, believe in
government funded stem cell research. I'm a bit of a secularist , but I
think it's totally unrealistic to ignore the fact that this is a country
wherein the vast majority of people profess to practice, or at least believe
in some sort of religious philosophy.......the majority being various sects
of Christianity. I also agree that some are extremists (not just the
Christians, IMO) but I also keep in mind that the majority has rights as
well as the minority. It think that given this situation it would be better
to allow free expression of *all* religions and *no religions* within
certain contextual guidelines in an effort to foster open dialogue and
understanding between the religions and atheists/agnostics in an effort to
point out their many similarities in thinking/philosophy rather than
segregating this to the respective religious centers. It's not going to go
away and when segregated away from scrutiny, any idea can become corrupt. I
think if this could happen, the obvious commonalities might tend to diffuse
the agruments of the intolerant *armageddonists*. One thing that I firmly
believe is that if a group of people want something to happen bad enough,
they will find a way to make it happen. This is particularly scary when you
look at the *end of the world cults* who base their perception of world
events on the inveitability of their Biblical interpretation of Revelations
and of the jihadists who .......well......no point in arguing the right and
wrong of this cause ad nauseum. .
I also believe that the left in this country has been criminally stupid to
the point of treason with their anti-war antics and that if they are brought
to power in the next round of elections, they will think that appeasing
terrorism will keep them safe. The terrorists, OTOH, will exploit the
weakensses in our system that the left has created and/or allowed to fester
and will use them against all of us. As I said before, the leftist/liberal
agenda is a total anathema to radical Islam. I really don't think you pay
much attention to the real agenda.
There is so much more to the entire scenario than 9-11, yet it's convenient
for those who want to try to undermine the administration politically, to
take up the mantra that if it doesn't apply directly to 9-11, then it's not
part of the overall problem. It's short-sighted and that's what scares me
about the anti-war faction. They seem to think that if we just don't
confront the jihadinazis, that they will leave us alone. I'm all for freedom
of speech and free debate, but we've got some hard choices to make right now
and I'm in favor of having a country left in which it is possible to debate,
rather than a nazi state. You equate the Bush administration with
facism????.......they are fighting facism amigio. Sometimes it's ugly. the
freedoms we enjoy right now are unbelievable compared to what we were
willing to forego in WWII. The enemy we face is much more dangerous and can
bring the world to an end with just a few bombs. Appeasing them will not
take their finger off the trigger if they get those bombs.
When I see videos of these guys goosestepping through the streets it makes
me wonder how we can forget so quickly how an ideology and failure to
confront it can bring about a world war.
I often wonder how my friends on the left can be so ignorant of the real
issues involved here. I wonder how the following laws would go down in a
place like San Francisco, where pacificm is the philosophy du jour:
PENALTIES imposed by Iran's religious mullahs include:
THEFT: Amputation of hands or feet for persistent offenders.
ADULTERY: Death by stoning.
UNMARRIED SEX: 100 lashes.
CONVERSION TO RELIGION OTHER THAN ISLAM: Death.
SODOMY: Death for adults, 74 lashes for consenting child.
LESBIANISM: 100 lashes, or on the fourth occasion death.
HOMOSEXUAL KISS: 60 lashes.
RUBBING ANOTHER MAN'S THIGHS OR BUTTOCKS: 99 lashes - on 4th occasion,
death.
I would like to be a democrat again. I used to be one and felt pretty
comfortable with the liberal agenda when this country had the luzxxury of
debating these things. These days I wonder how the liberals in this country
can be so blind as dismiss what lies in store for them as they savage an
administration that has the balls to stand up and fight for
them.......something their own leaders are seemingly incapable of doing.

LaMont--
When things are pointed out that are either factually wrong or misinterpreted,
I call that debunking.
The most important parts of that page were the points where both authors
agreed, reinforcing the conclusions.
It's easy to get lost in the details, and squabble over them, thereby clouding
the overall picture. Discrediting the discovery of a forest by arguing over
the identity of particular trees, so to speak.
And capitalizing on that is, indeed, a favorite CIA-style technique.
-steve (who actually agrees with you, mostly, dammit....!)Guys, just wanted to provide a bit of an update on the SE Gemini and the Neve
Portico 5012. I recently cut come background vocals using the above combination
with a "hair" of a Urei 1178 (just for a color that I like) and I was extremely
pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I'm not able to post any audio clips
because of the nature of the project.
The task was a bit tedious as I was the vocalist as well as engineer, but
the results were very pleasing to my ear. The vocals were smooth and wide
sounding. I stacked about 12 tracks of vocals to create a nice "airy" stereo
sound. I had the Portico in the "silk" position with a bit of HPF. Up to
this point I had only used the Gemini as a lead mic (which I'm equally pleased
with as well).
Again, I am quite please with both these pieces!

And let's also not forget that the Iraq war we went to fight is over - the
Hussein regime is no longer; no WMDs in sight, done. But instead, we are
now playing intervention peace maker to help the Iraq government with what
has turned into a nightmare rather than a transition. The greatest number
of deaths from this "war" have happened directly because of the insurgency
of terrorists (car bombs, roadside bombs, snipers, etc) - not at the hands
of the old Iraqi military or Hussein, but by outsider terrorists and thugs
(the words of a couple of different US soldiers just back from Iraq I
recently talked with).
Or did we suddenly decide to support terrorism just to spite the current
administration? Seems like a sad way to decide what you believe in and
stand for. Sell out to the least unpopular - just like we did when teaming
with Ossama against Russia in Afghanistan, except this time it's the
American public, not military leaders.
It's really easy to blame someone for everything we don't like or can't
accept - whether it's finding fault for hurricane Katrina, terrorism, or hot
coffee at McDonalds. But it is quite another thing to actually understand
and count the cost of the way of life that we all agree to in dark
compromise every single day.
I guess I won't be surprised if an Islamic extremist is elected president in
the next 8-12 years.... game over. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go or
collect $200. I'm only partly serious here, but you guys are turning me
into a pessimist. ;-)I also think the main reason people don't like them is they underpower them--when
you light them up with some good power, like 250 watts per side, the completely
change for the better. Both of my pairs are powered with Yamaha P2201's,
about 250/side.
You can't imagine the difference...

This is exactly what has happened. If the left can't get Bush at the ballot
box, then let's get the media allies onboard and just take the whole damned
country down if that's what it takes to pursue the progressive ideology.

W, my dad had half his thyroid removed. The doc told him "no golf for the
rest of the summer." He was out on the links in three weeks. My friend's
aunt just had her entire thyroid removed. As it was causing some pain in
her shoulder, she's feeling great --and for unknown reasons (she believes
it's due to the lose of the thyroid) she reports feeling much more
energetic. Nevertheless, having gone through the problem with my father, I
know its hard to feel some sense of relief until its over. Take care.

I've been blogging this subject fopr a while. The following thoughts aren't
all originally mine any more than composing music can be all original
anymore, but I do agree with the general direction of them: so as for the
terrorists and why do we need to stand up to them..............
Why did Hitler want to kill people? It is all about power. Osama wants
power. He has money. Plenty of money.Personally, I think Bin Ladin is as
much a punk and a thug as progressives think Bush is and as conseervatives
think Kennedy is. He needs an enemy.Islamofascists are chiefly targeting
the USA because after the cold war was over Russia was no longer a target
for angry young Muslim men led by the Bin Ladens of the world. Basically Bin
Laden and those like him with small armies needed an enemy. Bin Laden was
particularly miffed because the Saudi Arabian family did not meet and greet
him as the celebrity he was becoming through his posturing in Afghanistan.
He was humiliated when the Saud family told him to take a hike - essentially
or actually stripping him of citizenship. Instead Saud turned to the US for
protection as it always had. Bin Laden made it a religious thing -"US
Infidels on Arab land." But actually it was Bin Laden - whose kids played
Nintendo at the time, and who is into genetic engineering - saying 'FU' to
the Saud family. He's a frustrated neo-con, if anything and once the liberal
left in this country weakens it to the point that they hand it up to him on
a silver platter, he can turn around and thank them by slaughtering them in
droves........unless they convert, of course.
The left in this country seems more interested with rationalizing this
behavior than condemning it. If there is a reason for suiciding bombing,
then when that reason goes away, another will arise.If we change policies to
avoid terrorism, it is a slippery slope. For instance, let's say Israel
says - "we do not want terrorism" so here is the piece of land. Then the
next time there is a water dispute or some other dispute, then people will
know that terrorism is the answer. It is interesting how lmany are so
concerned (which they should be) about slippery slopes with the 1st
amendment, but do not understand slippery slopes about caving in to
terrorists.
Does anyone really think that the Islamic terrorists would all of a sudden
become peaceful if only #1 Israel was blown off the map, and #2 foreign
troops were removed from Islamic lands? What a joke. The Muslims have been
fighting forever and they are not going to stop any time soon. Of course,
they use their fighting to get their short term objectives, but they aren't
going to stop fighting until the whole world is under Islamic law. They have
stated this publicly. The back up their threats with actions. If you choose
to disbelieve them you are either an idiot or insane.
If we pulled out of SA during the 90s, and never sent any troops to Iraq or
other middle eastern country, I agree that it is possible that 911 might
have happened to some other country rather than the USA. For example,
instead of killing 3 thousand Americans in the WTC, they might have killed 3
million jews in Israel (with America being next in line). There is no doubt
that appeasment of evil saves lives and $$ in the short term. Look at all
the lives that we saved by not entering WWII at the same time as England.
However, history has proven that in the long term, appeasment is disasterous
in the long term. This is not the kind of world I want to live in.
We are very fortunate that our leaders aren't as short sighted as the
leftist journalsits politicos. The least costly way to deal with evil is to
kick its a** before it has a chance to grow too powerful (ie. get
nukes)..........but yeah........I'm sure some of my leftist leaning
colleagues here are going to try to reverse this to put the black hat on the
US. Just remember it if your appeasement policy succeeds and these guys show
up and don't need you to do their dirty work for them any more.

DJSteve,
This is pretty horrific and I really don't doubt this. I've seen situations
like this before in my dealings in the private sector. I heard this kind of
thing from a guy I met when I was living in Mexico who was a German soldier
stationed with a bunnch of NATO troops, many of whom were Americans. This
was back in 1977. Besides his obvious and virulent hatred of the black
American servicemen, he was totally and constantly critical of command and
control procedures of the American army. Many of the things described in
this article sound familiar in light of what this guy was talking about so
this kind of FUBAR crap has been happening in the military for
years..............so what's the answer? Are the Democrats going to improve
this situation? Have they ever? Is the answer to just pull up stakes and
leave?

I think what you are getting at is that perception of pitch, or
"in-tuness" is subjective, and indeed it is. This is why many people
find just intonation flat and boring sounding.
All I've done is do for the nut what we do for the bridge, which is
to adjust it as close as we can to accurate (not perfect) and use
that as the foundation for playing, rather than something that is
so inaccurate that many people find it annoying and most guitar
players have to learn to compensate for it by avoiding certain
strings in certain keys.
BTW, I have lived with this setup for a couple days now and
absolutely love it. One thing that has changed though, is that
the Peterson sweetened tuning now does not sound very good
on this guitar. Standard equal-temperment works better with
the nut compensated. Interesting.
More to follow.

Simple answer:
Perhaps.

I actually wrote back that I wouldn't charge him to sit in and that the flat
fee for mixing ($150) would apply, os maybe that was high enough for him
already. no response so oh well. At least now I have a better idea how
to handle the next one that asks.
JesseNo. No. Probably about the only option.

This is not about the left or the tight, dems & reps. you have drank-ed the
kool-aid of the Bush(ites).. Most Republicans have abandoned ship long time
ago and are now willing to stand up and disagree with the President.Callit
Mid-term elections.
One thing is for sure, any other Republican president would not have gone
down this road.. This is a Neo-Con road. This has nothing to do with left
or right. The bush(ites0 have "SCREWED" it's on base party. Can some say
"Boarders"..? Judge Appointments, Taxes , Deficit.. Bush is more Liberal
than our last 2 liberal presidents...Imagine that.?? He keeps spending and
spending with reckless abandonment.
Bush (I love this) is playing both sides of the Ilse as well as Clinton did.
AND , he does not care if he screws those who support him.. All those poor
working folks in the red states, now pay 3.00 bucks at the pump(LOL)..!!
Oh yeah.. Faith based initiatives".. ??(Jeopardy music) ...
No, I'm an conservative Christian.. Most of my family are Conservative Democrats.
In Michigan, that means you are Pro union and proud of it..They Michigan
Dems are not weak, scared. Having Most them like my Dad and uncles have fought
(union) hard battles wars) for better working conditions and fair pay. Some
lives were lost. That kind of spirit can be found in all Northern (Blue Collar)
Blue states... Most of us are hunters and great fishermen. We love our guns..
So, you play that dems & repubs game all you like. But, both whites and non
whites in our neck of the woods can smell a Rat!! and that schicht is coming
from the white house..
No, we have bigger problems to worry about than some played up war form some
imperialistic games. We have our jobs, gas prices, educating our children..than
to bogged down in a stupid so -called war..
You say that's being minded and soft..I say, We are not drinking the kool-aid..
So, if the 33 percent of you get your kicks out of prepping for war, then
be my guess. Go out play war all you want. Stay on the "edge" ... Watch Fox
new network all day and night...By the way: Since the Hezbollah/Israeli war
came to ahead, the networks have cut to a more Pressing story......
They found the Jonbenet Ramsey murderer!!......
Fox news has all hand on deck and a camera man waiting for this kook to get
off the plane!! a few stories about the war. Ohh..I guess, since we were
losing that war, in was not new worthy.
Now, you say...What are the Dems going to.. Well, they can't do much worse
than that last regime..I mean, do i feel safer because Bush is in office???
No.. I feel safe for me and my family because God is still on thrown!! He
is my protector..Every man (boy , girl) has an appointed time to live and
to die. Me and ,ine put our trust in God's hands, not a President(Republican
or Democrat)..
See, those you who are fearful because you've put your hope and faith and
trust in a Man!! Well, Men, will fail you all the time. Those of us who
are believing Christians, should know better to put our hope, faith and trust
in a Man.. That's suicide and stupid!
Even worst,putting your Hope, trust, and faith in a Politician..
are we that stupid ??
Next regime please..

If you don't like Bush, that's fine, but stereotyping and slandering people
while claiming you speak for the whole of Christianity in the same breath is
wrong. No two ways about it my friend. No, you do not speak for
Christianity as a faith. Democrat or Republican, your approach is simply
political hyperbole. Please don't confuse your political views with faith.

>LaMont,
I certainly respect you faith, whatever that may be. I certainly disagree
with your opinions though. I'll be as ready as anyone for a new
administration, but it will need to be an administration that is willing to
fight, not appease.......and the idea of the likes of Harry Reed, Pelosi,
Kennedy, etc. having positions of greater power and influence bode ill for
the future of this nation. I do agree with you about the border situation.
that's the biggest clusterfuck that Bush has pulled, IMHO. the first thing
we should have done after 911 was secure the borders, no matter what the
cost politically and monetarily. I doubt, however, that anyone, democrat or
republican will be willing to do this. Folks may be paranoid about NYC, but
Houston is where the energy infrastructure lies and one nuke in or around
the Houston ship channel and we're toast.

As to my I'll take the terroist" statement..Well, Dedric ask an Iraqi citizen
about who they think are the terrorist???
As for that statement being unchristian. Well who said that the American
policy is the "Thee" authority of Christianity???
My views are not slanderer not in fear of speaking against a burgeoning tyranny.
I know full well I don't speak for the entire Christian population, only
Jesus does. But, faith in a Man, is stupid..
Yes, I feel that the Bush(ites) are evil. Evil lying politians. So, if you
take that as being slanted, then so beit.
So, you and the other 33-36 percent can keep on fighting the war on terror
,and find your WMD's or what ever.
I'm not buying it.

To tie the thread about the Vox Tonelab (Get that Yamaha Stompbox) and =
the Tonepress=20
together I'd say one of the biggest flaws with the Tonelab SE is it's =
compressor.
Only one. Not that great in my opinion either. The crunch tones might
be better (I don't use them except in the studio) if a happening =
compressor was in line. =20
It really does feel like an amp through the PA though playing jazz, funk =
and hard rock.
I am struggling with too much gear (3 - 5 gigs/week and all one =
nighters)
and hesitate to add another pedal to the Tonelab. Maybe I'll think like
Deej and just do it.

------=_NextPart_000_002D_01C6C4CF.E6CE6C40--Hey DJ,
Do you think that just maybe the Bush(ites) don't want to close the borders?
I mean, hes' the great protector and all..Right?
Just maybe they have something more elaborate up their collective sleeves
Humm??
Maybe they want another 911..TO:
-Really convince the american people that "total globalization" and expansion
is the only way..
-spread democracy to evey corner of the earth.
-Convices us that we must be at war until Jesus comes back..
My questions are: Whatever happed to "We" US people will let you guys fight
your little war, and you'll "Bush-ites" will give us cheap gas??
Well, we all got reamed with no grease on all fronts.. I live on a boader
state-city (Cannda/Windor Ontario).. I guess since we're not geting the infl;ux
of hispanics like you guys in the southwest, there is not a big brew ha..No,
up here, it's about Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and Gas$$$$ Gas $$$$ Gas$$$$..

>Clinton Clinton Clinton.. It seems DJ that you has now swallow the "Kool-Aid"
that the Neo-con right has given you.
Look, liberals are not dumb or stupid. They are real passionate Americans.
Before I state my rebuttals to your Clinton Clinton Clinton rhetoric, let
me just say this to your how can Dems be so dumb.
Do you really think that if we are attacked , that fellow so-called liberals
would not fight??
To decent is not American?
Look DJ, the Bush(ites) are war mongers. They had their plan is place well
before they took office. They just need some kind of reason to sell to the
US public. 911 and then WMDS..
The problem today is , do we have enough service men available for your WW3
war effort? A draft is eminent, But, not exactly politically wise or popular
with the way the Iraq thing went. hey can't sell a war if the previous engagements
haven't worked out..
So, what will the Bush(ites) do...hummm..Let's see since recruitment is way
way down(toilet), the US need fresh recruits
to re-vamp the forces for 1)ground attacks and home-land security, and middle-east
occupation.....
Well, the poor & middle class whites are not showing up at the local recruiting
centers like they did in post 911...And it seems, that the African Americans
don't want any part of these wars what so ever...(hey, they're busy in the
prisons)providing big business cheap telemarketing services..(true)..The
American Hispanics too, have dropped off the recruiting radar.. So, where
oh where are they going to get those solders ...Humm
I think the answer lies with our new "Border Crossers" aka, new Americans
for hire.. And they will make up a good portion of the new American Armed
forces.
Of course to sell them on the idea of joining, they will be told that thew
will be given full citizenship with out question, enjoy the same rights that
all Americans do, and be excepted like any other American citizen.. Well,
it(assurances) worked for my people for every war the US government has ever
fought while on this continent..So, it should work for our new friends.
Only this time, I hope that our Goverment lives up to it's promises to them,
unlike they did my people and the indigenous people of this country..
Back to your points: (Which we all expelled from Michael Savages's Liberal(ism)
is a mental dissorder). That man, is one scared man.. very fearful and is
a raging lunatic.What's his lines"Borders, Languages, and culture. Man, what
a lunatic, however, very entertaining..
Dj, do we agree that the Bush(ites) want permanant bases in the middle east?
Okay? Do you think that the people of the middle east will stand for permanant
US bases there? Do you think, that we should pull the troops out and nuke
the entire region???
See, the latter (Nuke) is what the Dems has done. Your so called Prsident
and any other Republican love war for war sake.. The Dems, ended the WW2
(in the PAcific)..BOooooommmmm. Weak, are they..??? I'll let that record
stand..

what are some other options that y'all are happy with?
Thanks, DaleGuys-
I have a major problem. I am mixing a record that I have to hand in tomorrow.
I was experiencing some glitchiness so I decided to change the I/O settings
from within the Paris main screen. I needed to relaunch Paris it said and
now I get this message.
"Error in initializing Paris Engine. There is not enough memory. Clearing
the undo/redo buffer from the Settings Menu or closing some windows may allow
you to complete this operation."
Well that's all well and good, but I can't LAUNCH Paris so how can I clear
the undo redo buffer? I am in big trouble! If anybody has a solution for
this I'd owe you one big time! This record has to go to mastering tomorrow
or I'm dead. Please help.
Thanx in advance! -Paul...forgot to mention, I'm on a G4 running 9.2.2. Thanx guysunfortunately the bottom line is that you can't win a gorilla war.
there's no front and there's 10,000 fronts.

They would waffle, negotiate, deal with the corrupt UN, make token
raids on the wrong targets to kill a few people (usually the wrong
ones) and then get so backed into a corner that they either have
to capitulate to the jihadis or, as you say below, go boom, as in
nukes... I would like to avoid that.

So it's hard to sell war to americans after the biggest attack since
WWII? How do you figure?
We found the WMD's btw. 500 of them, and one of
Saddams own guys says the rest went to Syria. You cannot win
this argument on evidence so you resort to wild paranoia, and
accuse others of "kool-aid"? amazing really...
I don't CARE if you support Bush or not, I do care about the lengths
you are going to, to make a case that cannot be made rationally.

For you and your side to win, we must lose this war. So you
and yours have called it a mistake and a "quagmire" since about
a week into it, made absurd vietnam comparisons, and failed to
praise even the brave Iraqi's who voted in such high numbers
under the threat of being attacked at any time. You all just
went nice and quiet and waited for the next bombing or
decapitation so you could start the rap up again. And you wonder
why people question your loyalty? I have never seen so many
americans hoping for our defeat. Our brave soldiers are succeeding
despite the best efforts of both the jihadis and the left.

Actually, as with much of your rap, you got the facts wrong again.

While African immigrants are wildly successful here, and the
left still refuses to look at the results of their misguided programs...
The imprisonment rate of African Americans closely follows the rate
of decline in intact families which inversely follows the rate of
paternalistic liberal programs. But no, it's so much easier to
blame Bush.

A secular and democratic state would do so. Hence Iraq.
Remember, we would like to avoid nukes?

Of course, a Republican (Lincoln) ended slavery, but it looks like
that record doesn't stand for much with you. Oh, it's in the past?
Well so are the days of Democrats being *anything* like Truman.
And EVERY SINGLE Truman or even Kennedy democrat has been
purged from the democratic party, the most recent being a good
and decent Kennedy liberal named Leiberman.
Listen LaMont, I am not a conservative, and neither is DJ. You need
to admit that this is a complex and difficult issue and good points
can be made on both sides. Come, let us reason together.
There's a lot at stake.
DCHi, all.
I have a friend who has a dodgy c-16.

KimI wasn't referring to whether the war is right or wrong or whether I liked
Bush or not, just your approach and mindset isn't representing Christianity
in any way - these are just your political views. Don't confuse the two.
It does more harm than good.
On the war and our country itself...
I have personally talked to several US soldiers who have been there, and
have talked to Iraqis, in person - not what you think you hear from the news
media, or from a disgruntled private that just signed up with the Army to
get a free education and wrote a book about it, but mid-level officers and
doctors (e.g. not party line toters either) - and the Iraqis do appreciate
that we ended the tyrannical regime they were under. I was blown away by
the real world accounts I heard that completely contradict what the news
media would have us believe (even if you support the war, this you would
start to wonder who's doing the most lying) - these guys are Christians, and
spent their time there building schools, restoring power, providing aid to
military and citizens alike - working with the people, not just working the
media.
If you think that is of no value, then it would be interesting to hear what
our own ancestor countrymen would say of the civil war - was the cost of
hundreds of thousands of lives, homes, farms, schools, women and children,
and political turmoil worth it "just" to end slavery? Given what our
country seems to think of the Iraqi people - ignorant, victims of the US
military, better off under a murderous dictator, etc - I would have to say I
seriously doubt we would go down that road again. We would rather sit by
and smugly to say that we weren't responsible for people dying - "we're
better than that - we make great bystanders and self-righteous,
self-absorbed pacifists". We would rather ride around in our Detroit-built,
union proud SUVs, sucking down expensive gasoline, buying frivolous luxuries
right and left from companies that help choke the atmosphere with production
pollution, watching movies that cost more than the food budget for Sudan and
complain about our government on the way home because we are embarrassed
that France and Germany don't like us, and because it's more popular to hate
the President than actually do something to fix any of the above problems.
Whether you like it or not, there is a direct parallel, and a sad one - DJ
is right, we are weak - not militarily, but as a people. We have no common
bond of morality, ethics, integrity, patriotism, and honor - maybe if we
really had that, we wouldn't be in Iraq *and* the Iraqi people would still
be free to make their own decisions out from under the crushing weight of a
dictator's thumb. But sadly, we've chosen to adopt the hypocritical facade
that Hollywood and the news media feeds us. We are more interested in
political correctness and putting on the appearance of righteousness than
actually living it. I'm not in anyway saying war is righteous - it is just
a fact of a world that in majority doesn't have a moral value system. And at
the same time we are justifying our intellectually superior pacifism by
turning a blind eye to true evil and in fact doing exactly what you claim
others are doing - putting faith in Man. Mine isn't in any man on this
planet. Completely independently of the government, we are yet again
selling out our pride and integrity as people to the lowest cost bidder in
exchange for a mask of fabricated peace, temporary freedom and empty
compassion. We have more in common now with Hollywood 2006 than
Philadelphia 1776, much less 0 BC.
"Where is the hope? I meet millions who tell me that they feel demoralized
by the decay around us. Where is the hope? The hope that each of us have is
not in who governs us, or what laws are passed, or what great things that we
do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts
of people, and thatÂąs where our hope is in this country; thatÂąs where our
hope is in life." - Chuck Colson

GeneWell, funny thing is, we just started using Autotune a week or two ago. I've
been having some occasional freezing-up problems on my computer; I wonder
if that's also related?
Is anybody using Autotune with Paris succesfully? If I disable DirectX, we
won't be able to use Autotune, right?

For example I was bummed when someone bought the Adam S3As today
on Gearslutz that I had been obsessing about for the last couple
of days.Now did I really want to spend 4 Gs on monitors no,but I
almost did.
I often catch myself spending more time on forums and FS areas
when I should be practicing.All the gear can definitely be a
distraction!
Nice article.

Mark, best wishes to you and your wife as you face this challenge
together! Your strength will be a big help to her as you research and
choose your best options. From my Mom's experience, always get a second
and even third opinion, the cancer treatment field is changing rapidly
for the better. Be very aware of the possible side effects for all
options, they don't always make that information completely clear.
Cheers,
-Jamie

I guess I could sum stems) How will this solve my UAD-1 vs hardware issues?
The closest thing to having this capability seems to be the Mackie DXB which
will host a pair of UAD-1's. I really have no problem using Paris as the
mixer and dealing with the AD/DA conversion latency for outboard gear. I'm
just spoiled rotten by having so many high end processors. those UAD-1 Neve
EQ's are the holy grail, IMO. I can see why the hardware versions are so
expensive. I've never really cared that much about strapping an EQ across a
track just for the sound of the circuit, until I started using these.

I'm actually originally from outside of Chicago. My parents are both from
chicago.
I was born in Champagne/Urbana where my father got his phd. I spent a lot
of time
in the southeast but never really felt like I belonged there. Glad to be
back home in
the north. Now I'll just have to get used to the snow. I always wanted to
go to
Berklee when I was younger but never really had the chance. Did you finish
school
at Berklee? What instrument(s) do you play?
peace,

Welcome to the area. I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago
but moved here to go to Berklee in '75. I never returned.
My wife and I bought a house down in Raynham which is
towards the cape but more inland. Boston is a great city
to live in or near. The music scene is fruitful with all the music
schools located here. There's a glut of studios too.
I whizzed by Arlington about 45 minutes ago on my way home
from a gig.
Arlington is a great location. I used to go to the Cabrada(sp?) Bakery
next to the Capitol (?) Theater on Mass Ave.. Croissants to die for.
The best general practitioner I ever had a practice in Arlington also.
If you're looking for a great doctor I give the man an A+++.
Anything else?!!! Enjoy your new world!

Hi all,
I just moved to the Boston area(arlington) and was wondering how many Paris
users there are here. I used to post regularly years ago but my studio has
been down for close to 3 years now. Just got it back up and thought I'd
check in here to see how things are going with my fellow Paris users.
peace,

T.,
Ya, I graduated in '79 in performance. Guitar was my major but
I played some alto too. I really liked the writing classes with
Herb Pomeroy, Mike Gibbs and Phil Wilson. I had Ralph Moore
from the Tonight Show Band in my senior recital band. Those
were the days when Berklee had one 8 track studio only. I only
had a few classes in there. That was not important to me at
the time. They had just built the Performance Center.
I spent a few summers in Champagne/Urbana at the jazz camps
at U of I. Very cool college town down there. If you're ever heading

fairly close to you. Maybe a Boston Paris gathering is in store.
Right Cujo?

Welcome to the area. I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago
but moved here to go to Berklee in '75. I never returned.
My wife and I bought a house down in Raynham which is
towards the cape but more inland. Boston is a great city
to live in or near. The music scene is fruitful with all the music
schools located here. There's a glut of studios too.
I whizzed by Arlington about 45 minutes ago on my way home
from a gig.
Arlington is a great location. I used to go to the Cabrada(sp?) =

next to the Capitol (?) Theater on Mass Ave.. Croissants to die for.
The best general practitioner I ever had a practice in Arlington also.
If you're looking for a great doctor I give the man an A+++.
Anything else?!!! Enjoy your new world!

Cool!
Just to be clear, we aren't a theocracy. Good thing, too. The point I
was trying to make is our government is more influenced by Christians
than any other religion on policy matters simply because almost all
elected officials are Christians. Ted Kennedy is Catholic BTW. So it
seems alarmist to paint Christianity as being in anything like dire
straights in the USA.
OTH, GWB once said his favorite political philosopher is Jesus (during a
primary presidential debate), and if he truly believes Jesus is a
political philosopher then theocracy would not be out of the question
for him.
Perhaps others have helped him sort it out by now:

I grew up in Texas but my family moved to Boston just before my senior =
year
of high school. Of all things, I took up pedal steel in New England =
rather
than Texas. My first band when I was 19 was the John Lincoln Wright =
Band,
which became fairly legendary in those parts. Also was hanging around =
studios
like Intermedia, Northern and Longview learning to engineer. I took a =
playing
gig with Michael Murphey in '76, which brought me to Colorado, where I =
thought
I would stay a couple of years, but am still here :) .
I love the Boston area, though. I may come up there this fall to play =
a
few gigs--maybe I'll meet some of you then....

For the last few years I've been mucking about with my music, creating very
little, largely because of the sound of this or that not being up to scratch.
Or some production issue or another.
Recently I've found a whole new way of working. It voilates half of my "It's
all about the sound" ideas and comes back to the basics of putting down a
song, as quickly as possible, while the energy for that song is there and
fresh. I've set up a whole bunch of my favourite sounds, which could still
be tweaked, but I'm focussing on using them, not tweaking. I've got a Digitech
GNX-4 which I use in loop mode to do the basic recording (not Paris). Once
I have a bunch of loops all prepared I can simply switch the wav files over
to Paris, drop them in an order I like and the song is done. I then add vocals
very quickly and move on to another song.
So far I've only done one tune, but it was last week, and it worked, and
worked well for mine. I had fun, I like the product, and the sound is not
too shabby anyhow. It's the quickest way to work I've ever found, and I like
it.
As Nike would say... "Just do it".
Cheers,
Kim.

Dog Days of Summer Scratch 'n Dent Sale
http://www.eastcoastmusic.com/blowout.htm
At this time of year people are at the beach or getting their kids ready
to go
back to school but they're not shopping. It's no secret that retail
sales are
slow at this time of year. Now you can take advantage of the slow season
and if
you move quickly grab 'one of a kind' savings.
We have to move much of our current inventory during the summer dog days to
make room for new arrivals and so we're offering INSANE PRICES on select
items.
Prices are SLASHED since some items could have a small ding, there may be a
used piece or two and others, well maybe our buyer just spent too much
time in
the sun. Anyway, there's just one of each in-stock item...no orders or
reservations. First come - first served and when that piece is gone, that's
all. (however, we'll happily make your day with a KILLER DEAL on a different
piece!)
Don't miss out on your chance to take advantage of this PRICE MELTDOWN
ECMM has an URGENT NEED for your USED GEAR. It's likely that you have some
equipment that you no longer use. Perhaps you've been thinking about
trading up
but just haven't made it happen yet. Well, your timing couldn't be better
because as long as this shortfall lasts we will be OFFERING AT LEAST 10%
MORE
than we ever have before!
We're looking for everything; guitars, drums, pro audio, PA gear,
keyboards…ANYTHING. Bring your equipment in anytime during store hours.
PLEASE NOTE: NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. In order to evaluate any trade-in,
the item
has to be seen to estimate its condition so you are encouraged to bring your
gear to the store. However, if you feel compelled to contact us about your
trade before coming in, please use this email link:

800-901-2001I took a playing
> gig with Michael Murphey in '76,
I thought your studio pic looked sorta' familiar. We may have met a while
back. I'm not sure though. There was a time back in the late 70's early 80's
when I was hanging out with a few folks who knew Michael well when he was
gigging a little around Austin. Did you ever know Seigel Frye? He had an
eatery on Barton Springs Road named Good Eats Cafe.
