G074 A Handsome English, Davenport "Greek Revival" Lamp - Circa 1870
"For the MOTH" (Man of the House!)
A very handsome, 19th century English, Davenport, terracotta antique lamp in Greek revival style. The Oinochoe shaped lamp in the Athenian Attic style of the 5th and 6th centuries BC. The lamp base and rim of the lamp, printed in black with a wide band of anthemion, the neck with ring moulding. The terracotta lamp base printed in black with "Athens Davenport."
The anthemion or palmette, is a stylised motif in decorative art resembling the fan-shaped leaves of a palm tree. It has a far-reaching history, originating in Ancient Egypt. It was widely used in ancient Greek and Roman design and known as the anthemion, (from the Greek ανθέμιον, a flower). It is found especially as an architectural ornament, whether carved, painted on interior walls, or as a ceramic decoration.
Greek Revival.
The Greek revival movement began in the mid 18th century, lasting almost until the close of the 19th century, 1750–1890. There were several revisits of this smart design which are generally known today as periods of "Greek Revival". The French and English glass and ceramics, for example, were often closely modelled on specific Greek vases and urns.
The influence was very broad and included furniture design, jewellery and interior design. Architecture was particularly influenced, especially in the USA. The typical colour range of this neoclassic revival included black motifs outlined against terracotta, Pompeian red, powder blue, puce and olive.
Davenport.
In 1785, John Davenport began as a potter working with Thomas Wolfe in Staffordshire. In 1794 he acquired his own pottery at Longport and began producing cream-colored, blue-printed earthenware. By September 1806, the quality of his porcelain wares was such that the Prince of Wales, later to become King George IV, ordered services of the finest and most valuable kind. John retired in 1830 and his sons, William and Henry, carried on the firm. The company continued until 1887 when the factory was finally closed.
The lamp seated in a custom made, satin black enamelled base, the lamp cap en suite. This is a very smart lamp with a real sense of style. The lamp shown with a black, knife pleated, silk lamp shade suggestion.

Persona Revelations Gets A Remake for PSP
And Atlus finally reveals what their Persona PSP title is. It's going to be a remake of the first Persona, "Revelations" that was developed for the PSX 13 years ago in 1996. This remake due on April 29th will be directed by Shoji Meguro who will also be responsible for renewing the soundtrack. He was responsible for the Velvet Room theme song, "A Poem for Everyone's Soul" in the original game. Pre-orders will be able to get a hold of it for free as a bonus.
Kazuma Kaneko will of course, be the one responsible for the art direction.
The story tells of a nameless male student from St. Hermelin High School who one day, performs a "Persona" ceremony with his friends and finds various changes occurring all over the city. There is a strike of lightning and "Devils" appear to attack humans. Finding their powers to summon Personas had awoken, they decide to fight.
New cutscenes produced by Kamikaze Douga (Final Fantasy Tactics, Hotel Dusk, Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, Fragile) will also be added to assist the story telling. Wondering what the butterfly symbolises? The Persona Club P3 Book says it's based on a Chinese philosopher's story of the "Butterfly Dream".
To make the game more convenient on the portable console the gameplay will be rebalanced, more save points are added and players can choose from three game difficulties. Battles occur SRPG style when players encounter enemies while exploring dungeons.
And of course, the trademark Personas and Fusion system will be present.
I was hoping for a brand new original title but, oh well. I've never played this one anyway. Actually after playing through Devil Survivor, I'm pretty bored playing as a highschool student. Would like to see a new MegaTen game instead now so that they go back to the adult cast.

^Har har. So you caught that? Most of the enemies in SMT games end up being older farts, but the cast itself for many of the games consists of the main characters who usually end up in the typical age group for Japanese RPGs (thus my reaction to the last comment in the blog entry). The exceptions were, of course, the detective from Devil Summoner Soul Hacker, some of the main cast from NINE, some of the cast (but not the setting) of the second act of P2, and the odd "old man in a wheel chair" here and there. DDS, though, I am hard pressed to call them adults or children, since, technically, they're neither...
For side reference:
SMT1 = 3 high school students + action girl (high school girl) + world government + appocalypse + old men in temples + DIE FOR ME (looks like she's 9, but probably 200)
SMT2 = 1 high school aged gladiator + slightly older Law companions + mad scientists + "holy crud" YWEH
SMT3 = Hitoshura (high school student/ dark messaiah) + "The Ojou" (high school student) + "Mr. AT Field" (high school student) + Corporate CEO + End of the World Special (C-c-c-combo Breaker!)

*Shrugs* I just remember in SMT Devil Summoner you can choose to be a young student or working adult and, all the mysterious characters that appeared ended up being adults too.
I'm not that familiar with MegaTen lore though so thanks for the enlightenment ;)
12 Apr 2009, 10:46:39 am
You're kidding, right? Since when has SMT had an adult cast. The main character has ALWAYS been a high school student. What seperates SMT1, 2, 3, P1, P2, Devil Summoner, and DDS from P3, P4, and Devil Survivor is the art direction and the script writing. To put it simply, the older art style was unique and jarring, while the new art direction is generally lighter and carries less weight. Likewise, the script for the past games didn't play around. Sh*t was hitting the fan every minute of gameplay. Even the old Persona games didn't use conventional anime tropes to fuel itself like P3, P4, and Devil Survivor did. The only constant were the amazingly versatile demon designs that carried over throughout the series, but especially from SMT3.

@Patto
Don't see why not when the PSX version was brought over. The question I think is, will they keep the translation closer to the original this time?
@Silver
No, it's an advert for the new P3 Pachinko machine from Taiyo Elec out this year sometime this month. A kind of cross between pinball and jackpot machines. It's not uncommon for popular Anime and games to be turned into Pachinko machines this way.
Still, good to hear Yumi Kawamura singing a new song, "Owaranai Yoru (終わらない夜)"... Or at least I'm assuming it's her!

you think they'll bring this to the us?


Effective July 1st, the cemetery laws of Virginia and Georgia are each amended to authorize fixed distributions from cemetery perpetual care trusts. They join Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri and Iowa in embracing some form of the unitrust option for cemetery care fund distributions. The unitrust option is a dramatic departure from the net income distributions that state laws have historically restricted cemeteries to. Several years ago, we posted on the fledgling unitrust movement (Cemetery Endowed Care Funds and the Fixed Income Investment), and warned that states would need to include safeguards when authorizing a fixed distribution option. Virginia and Georgia have taken different approaches to the unitrust option, with Virginia pursuing a safer route to ensuring principal growth to cemetery care trusts in future years.
Georgia's Senate Bill No. 147 will allow a cemetery operator to begin taking 4% fixed distributions by giving the care fund trustee and the Georgia Secretary of State 60 days written notice. In contrast, Virginia's Senate Bill No. 891 will require the cemetery operator to first make a request to the care fund trustee to convert to the fixed distribution method. The law provides that the trustee may reject the request. If the trustee does approve the request, it must then develop a written investment and distribution policy, and propose any trust agreement amendments needed to permit the fixed distribution. The investment and distribution policy must set out an asset allocation that targets a diversified portfolio capable of providing both the targeted distribution and growth to the trust principal. When the investment policy and proposed trust amendments are finalized, the cemetery operator then must provide the Virginia Cemetery Board 90 day's written notice of the election, and include a copy of the trustee's policy and amendments. The Virginia law authorizes the Cemetery Board to engage third parties (with those costs paid by the cemetery operator) to evaluate the trustee's policies. If the trustee's policies are not found to be sufficient to satisfy the law's requirements, the Board may reduce the percentage of the fixed distribution, or preclude it altogether. Once the fixed distribution is approved and implemented, the trust must satisfy two financial tests that are intended to ensure the growth of the fund's principal.

El Noguera Ribagorzana es un río español afluente del río Segre por la margen derecha de la cuenca del río Ebro. Nace en los Lagos de Mulleres en el valle de Mulleres a 2.750 metros de altura, en la vertiente S de la divisoria formada por el macizo de Maladeta - Aneto - Salenques - Gerbosa - Puerto de Viella - Rius. Desemboca en el Segre, en el término municipal de Corbins (en la comarca del Segriá, en la provincia de Lérida). Durante 100 de los 130 kilómetros de su curso forma la línea divisoria entre Cataluña y Aragón.

El principal uso de sus aguas es el hidroeléctrico, ya que debido a la orografía de la zona, es muy difícil utilizar sus aguas para la agricultura, salvo en el tramo final, cercano a su desembocadura.

Recibe su nombre del antiguo Condado de Ribagorza, hoy dividido entre las comarcas de Alta Ribagorza (Cataluña) y Ribagorza (Aragón).

Leather and suede garments are a chic addition to any wardrobe. While they can be pricey, with the right care they can become lifelong investments.
When shopping for a leather or suede garment, visit a reputable retailer and examine the item you wish to buy. Look closely at the colouring; do the colours and textures between portions of the garment match? While suede won't be completely uniform (since this is part of its desirability), leather should be. Try on the item. Does it fit snugly? If it does, then go for something a little less snug since relaxtion and cleaning can cause it to shrink to a certain extent. And with any garment, make sure to check the care label prior to purchase.
Steps should be taken to preserve the beauty and longevity of your leather and suede garments. Do not allow the garment to come in direct contact with excessive perspiration and body oils, since it can stain or damage the material. Wet garments should be air dried rather than be exposed to dry heat, since it can crack. Store in a cool and ventilated area not in a plastic bag, avoiding damage caused by mildew or heat. Stains should be treated immediately by a professional cleaner specializing in suede and leather, not by home treatments.
It is advisable to have your leather and suede garments professionally cleaned. Prior to cleaning, let your cleaner know any care information that came with the garment and point out any new or old stains if they exist. Matching pieces should all be cleaned at the same time for consistency. Because these garments may sometimes be risky to clean, your cleaner may ask you to sign a consent form at the time of your order.
Variations among sections of a garment. Leather garments are constructed with skins taken from various parts of the animal or even several different animals. While the manufacturer attempts to match the skins as uniformly as possible, even the best matching may still create a product that has some variance in texture, weight, and colour uniformity. Cleaning may accentuate these variances.
Loss of Colour. Do not be surprised if a slight variance in the depth of colour occurs after cleaning. Since a garment is constructed from skins obtained from different parts of an animal or animals, colourfastness may vary. Some leather dyes may also not be resistant to dry cleaning fluids. Spray dyeing can correct some colour loss. This is performed by the dry cleaner. Some changes are almost always unavoidable, particularly when processing handpainted suede vests.
Loss of oils. Oils are used during the tanning process to keep the leather supple. Dry cleaning may rob some of these oils, reducing suppleness. Special additives can be used by your cleaner to restore it, but a slight change may still be sensed when the garment is returned to you.
Scar tissue and vein marks. Scar tissue and imperfections are often filled by tanners prior to dyeing during the manufacturing process. Some fillers may be removed during cleaning, causing these imperfections to reappear.
Wrinkles. Skins on some parts of the animal are naturally wrinkled. These wrinkles are smoothed out during manufacturing. However, cleaning may accentuate wrinkling by relaxing the leather.
Texture and shading changes. Sometimes a smoother skin is combined with a coarser textured skin during the manufacturing process. Textural differences may become more apparent with cleaning due to varying levels of fat liquor and additive absorption. Some areas may become darker than others. Please note that this is a natural phenomenon which is beyond the cleaner's control.
Shrinkage. With time, some amount of shrinkage will occur as the skins relax. The rate of shrinkage can be accelerated by cleaning. Shrinkage can dissipate with regular wear. Overstretched skins by the manufacturer may relax permanently.
Damage to thin skins. Some skins are extremely thin and fragile, making them inappropriate for apparel. Dry cleaning can further aggravate any existing damage. Even with normal usage, such skins wear exceptionally fast.
Shading from adhesives. The glue used to attach seams, hems and trim may not be resistant to cleaning solvents, dissolving or seeping into the leather. Seepage can shade affected areas or cause discolouration.
Leather trim bleeding and transfer. Leather buttons and piping can bleed colour onto the adjacent fabric of garments. Make sure that the instructions on a care label are for all parts of the garment, including the trim. If a problem occurs from misadvice, the item should be returned to the retailer. You may find it difficult to have your garment professionally cleaned if a leather-trimmed garment fails a test for colourfastness.
Oxidation. With time, the dyes in leather and suede garments can oxidize when exposed to light and atmospheric gases. Although some areas may be able to retain their original colour, such as those that are protected (i.e. under the collar), oxidation may become more apparent after cleaning. Unfortunately, this problem cannot be easily corrected by the cleaner.
Imitation leathers and suedes. Imitation leathers and suedes are produced in such a variety of ways that it may sometimes prove difficult to distinguish it from the real thing. Vinyl or urethane based films may be used to coat the material while others may be made to look like suede. Coatings and imitations may be vulnerable to a host of problems, such as self-sticking, blistering, puckering, or stiffening.

Tory Lanez Addresses Megan Thee Stallion Shooting on New Album 'DAYSTAR'
Tory Lanez is going on the record.
The Toronto rapper breaks his silence for the first time since he allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in July. But instead of releasing a statement or going live on Instagram, he is using his music to speak. After teasing an announcement earlier in the day, he released a 17-track album called DAYSTAR, on which he tells his side of the story.
"There is a time to stay silent . And a time to speak ….. I said all I could say on this," Tory said while announcing the project.
There is a time to stay silent . And a time to speak ….. I said all I could say on this … ALL PLATFORMS … ….. #DAYSTAR … I'll be back to y'all soon …. respectfully …. pic.twitter.com/rC7oAotwfR
— Tory Lanez (@torylanez) September 25, 2020
The album opens with "Money Over Fallouts" featuring sound bites from various media reports before Tory addresses his critics including Kehlani and Kaash Paige, who spoke out against him.
Megan has publicly accused Tory of shooting her, but he seems to claim that it was all a set up. "Megan's people tryna frame me for a shooting / But them boys ain't clean enough," he raps.
He goes on to accuse Megan of filing a false police report and insinuates that they were in a relationship. "Girl, you had the nerve to write that statement on the affidavit / Knowin' I ain't do it but I'm comin' at my truest / Tryna keep this shit 200 with you," he raps. "Don't forget you was my bitch / I held it down and kept it real / I would never paint no fake picture of you just for some mills."
He adds, "Look at how you doin' me / People tryna ruin me / And what's even worse is I'm still thinking about you and me."
Megan was shot multiple times in her feet, but Tory questions her claims. "How the f**k you get shot in your foot? Don't hit no bones and tendons / How the f**k your team is tryna paint me as some whole menace?" he raps. "I just lost like $10 million dollars because this cold business / But I got like 10 million followers that gon' roll with me … I don't give a damn if shawty know Jigga."
He also seems to deny that he harmed her. "I would never put you in no danger and if I did, you would've said it when you seen the cops."
And that's just the first track. Stream DAYSTAR below.

«Епідемія» () — російський музичний павер-метал гурт, заснований у 1993 році, найбільш відомий своєю метал-оперою «Ельфійський рукопис». Виступає на найбільших рок-фестивалях країни (у тому числі «Крила» і «Навала»). У музиці групи відчутно вплив таких колективів, як Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray і Iron Maiden. Тематика лірики, в основному, пов'язана з фентезі - з творчістю Маргарет Уейс і Трейсі Хікма, Майкла Муркока, Джона Р. Р. Толкіна та інших письменників жанру. Назва групи пов'язана з виходом фільму «Епідемія».

Історія

Група була заснована гітаристом Юрієм Мелісовим, відомим під ніком «Juron». Перші спроби організувати групу були зроблені ще в 1993 році, але склад був зібраний тільки два роки опісля. У 1995 році ще безіменним колективом був записаний демо-альбом «Фенікс» з вокалом Ю. Мелісова. Вже цей дебютний матеріал вийшов на відомому лейблі Moroz Records. За словами Андрія Лаптєва, в той час ніякого договору з лейблом на випуск альбомів ще не було, і учасникам довелося заплатити власні гроші для того, щоб їх видали під маркою цього лейблу. З 1995 року група отримала назву Епідемія. Перший концерт групи відбувся 20 грудня 1995 року в ДК МЕІ. Саме цей день вважається офіційною відправною точкою в історії колективу. Для запису першого альбому до групи приєдналися вокаліст Павло Окунєв і гітарист Роман Захаров, який став другим композитором групи. Дебютний реліз «Воля до життя» (1998) складався всього з п'яти композицій, але вже на наступний рік група випускає повноцінний альбом «На краю часу». Склад, який брав участь в його записі, складався з Юрія Мелісова (гітара), Романа Захарова (гітара), Павла Окунєва (вокал), Іллі Князєва (бас-гітара) та Андрія Лаптєва (ударні).

У 2000 році через творчі розбіжності група розлучається з Павлом Окунєвим, згодом заснував групу «Арда». Його змінив Максим Самосват. Перший альбом за участю нового вокаліста, «Загадка чарівної країни», відрізнявся більшою мелодійністю і меншим впливом спід-метала. На баладу «Я молився на тебе» був знятий відеокліп, показаний по MTV Russia. Епідемія потрапила до числа номінантів MTV Europe Music Awards 2002 від Росії і потрапила до п'ятірки переможців. Музиканти були присутні в Барселоні на врученні цієї престижної премії. В одному з шоу на MTV група виступила разом з легендарним Alice Cooper.

На наступний рік групу покинув один з лідерів - Роман Захаров, якого змінив Павло Бушуєв. У цей же час Андрій Лаптєв свариться з колективом і залишає групу. Йому на заміну приходить Євген Лайко, а потім і Дмитро Кривенко.

З новим складом Ю. Мелісов почав реалізовувати свою давню мрію: сюжетну метал-оперу. У його первинні плани входила постановка за мотивами книжкового серіалу Dragonlance, але в підсумку був написаний самостійний, хоч і схожий, сюжет. У записі концептуального альбому «Ельфійський рукопис» взяли участь музиканти з груп «Арія», «Arida Vortex», «Чорний Обеліск», «Майстер» і «Боні НЕМ». Презентація альбому спільно з групою «Арія» відбулася 13 лютого 2004 року перед шеститисячною публікою на фестивалі «П'ятниця, 13-е». Популярність Епідемії різко зростає. Пісня з альбому - «Пройди свій шлях» на місяць зайняла 1-е місце в хіт-параді Нашого Радіо «Чартова Дюжина».

Незабаром з групи йде другий гітарист Павло Бушуєв. Його змінює Ілля Мамонтов.

У 2005 році група випустила альбом «Життя в сутінках», що складався з перезаписаних у новому складі пісень Мелісова з альбомів, що передували «ельфійському рукопису». На офіційному сайті групи було проведено голосування серед фанатів, за підсумками якого і були вибрані пісні для перезапису. Змінилися аранжування і вокальні партії, вони стали різноманітніше і важче. Вокальні партії Самосвата стали жорсткішими. Старі пісні отримали нове звучання, подекуди злегка змінився текст. Альбом викликав схвалення як нових, так і старих фанатів групи.

У цьому ж році групі виповнилося 10 років. У колективі з'являється новий клавішник Дмитро Іванов. Незабаром гурт покидає басист Ілля Князєв, якого замінив молодий талановитий музикант Іван Ізотов.

На початку 2006 року вийшов офіційний mp3-збірник Епідемії з релізами з 1998 по 2005 рік. А вже в самому кінці року - подвійний концертний DVD «Хроніки сутінків: 10 років шляху» (частина перша) і «Хроніки сутінок: Ельфійський рукопис» (частина друга) з концерту 2005 року, присвяченому 10-річчю групи.

У грудні 2007 року група записує продовження своєї метал-опери: «Ельфійський рукопис: Оповідь на всі часи». У записі знову взяли участь Артур Беркут, Андрій Лобашов, Дмитро Борисенков і Кирило Немоляєв, а також нові учасники: вокаліст фолк-гурту «Троль гне ялину» Костянтин Румянцев і екс-вокаліст «Майстра» Михайло Серишев. Презентація альбому пройшла в Лужниках 3 грудня 2007.

Восени 2008 року Епідемія оголосила про початок співпраці з компанією «Yamaha» з контрактом на рік. Вперше в Росії вся група стала офіційним ендорсером окремої музичної компанії, працюючи безпосередньо з брендом. Група отримала нові і кращі інструменти компанії Yamaha.

9 квітня 2009 світ побачив перший сингл групи «Смерковий ангел», що складається з двох нових пісень, які виконувалися раніше в живу, і двох нових версій пісні «Пройди свій шлях» з альбому «Ельфійський рукопис». Сингл був викладений для безкоштовного завантаження з офіційного сайту гурту, а також вийшов обмеженим накладом на CD.

1 квітня 2010 вийшов альбом «Дорога додому», записаний у Фінляндії на студії «Sonic Pump» і в Росії на студії «Dreamport». Також як бонус-треки в альбом увійшли дві старі пісні, написані ще в 1994 році, - «Фенікс» і «Повернись».

22 липня 2010 на офіційному сайті групи було оголошено, що Епідемія виконає кавер-версію композиції «Гра з вогнем» групи «Арія» на триб'ют-альбомі «A Tribute to Арія. XXV». Офіційне підтвердження її участі було отримано 26 жовтня 2010 року.

29 вересня 2010 група оголосила про те, що Іван Ізотов залишає Епідемію, а його місце займає Ілля Мамонтов, який раніше займав місце гітариста Епідемії. Місце сесійного гітариста займає Андрій Смирнов (Everlost), до оголошення нового гітариста групи.

25 жовтня 2010 групу покидає Максим Самосват, який співав в групі протягом 10 років. Він виступив в останній раз з Епідемією, як і Іван Ізотов, на концертах 10 та 11 грудня 2010 року, присвячених 15-річчю групи.

14 грудня 2010 група оголосила, що новим вокалістом стає Євген Єгоров, який протягом трьох років співав у групі «Колізей», а так само брав участь у записі метал-опери «Ельфійський рукопис: Оповідь на всі часи», де виконав роль золотого дракона Гілтіаса.

20 грудня 2010 до групи, як другий гітарист, приєднується Дмитро Процко, один із засновників і гітарист групи «Арда» протягом 8 років.

Сторонні проекти
 Павло Окунєв після виходу з «Епідемії» заснував групу «Арда». Випустив з нею 3 альбоми, 2 інтернет-сингла і продовжує активну музичну діяльність. Юрій Мелісов брав участь у записі першого альбому групи «Арда».
 Максим Самосват до 2006 року був вокалістом прогресив-метал групи «Mechanical Poet» і випустив з нею два альбоми.
 Роман Валер'єн, клавішник, організував групу Пілігрим (не плутати з однойменним проектом А. Ковальова), а з 1 січня 2007 року взяв участь у групі «Колізей», де є також основним композитором.
 Андрій Лаптєв після відходу з групи перекваліфікувався у вокаліста. Він також створив групу, яка спочатку заперечувала у Епідемії права на назву. У результаті група стала імноваться як «АлЕпідемія». У 2006 році Лаптєв оголосив, що збирається записати продовження «ельфійського рукопису» з власним складом. Однак, через відсутність прав на назву, його проект був перейменований в «Битву богів», а його вихід перенесено на невизначений термін. У вільний доступ викладений демо-запис проекту.
 Іван Ізотов грає у групі «Radio Чача».
 Євген Єгоров до «Епідемії» був вокалістом групи «Колізей».
 Дмитро Процко до «Епідемії» був гітаристом і співавтором кількох композицій групи «Арда».

The iPad has become an incredible tool for musicians who wish to quickly and confidently record and produce live music on their tablet. Recently, I had the opportunity to produce and record a session for Ella Joy Meir, using just my iPad, software, and recording accessories. Last week, I covered when you might want to use an iPad and what you need to get started; now, let's talk about the actual recording and post-production process.
There are two versions of the Auria app: one that allows you to record up to 24 tracks (Auria LE, $25) and a more powerful version that can record up to 48 audio tracks (Auria, $50). Auria's touch interface is excellent: I really believe that using your fingers to trim, fade, cut, copy, and paste the audio regions is the easiest way to edit audio; it removes most of the layers (keyboard, mouse, and control surface) that stand between me and the music when I use more traditional computer-based recording systems. In my experience, the touch interface also makes editing a much speedier task. Another big advantage of Auria is that it offers many of the mixing features usually available only on a computer-based platform, including plug-ins (available via in-app purchase).
If you feel that the built-in plugins are not enough for your mixing needs, you can also get extra ones through the in-App purchase options, where you can find some really good compressors, convolution reverbs, equalizers, modulation effects, and amp simulators from companies like FXpansion, PSPaudioware, FabFilter, Over Loud, Positive Grids, and Sugar Bytes. You can even add the excellent drum replacement tool "Drumagog 5" or the pitch correction plug-in "ReTune" by Mu Technologies. For any serious mixing I highly recommend getting some of these extra plug-ins. They are very affordable, with prices ranging from $6 to $40, but with the majority being around $20. Auria features also a flexible input signal routing through the Input Matrix that allows me to route any physical input of my audio interface to any audio tracks inside the software.
The Auria's Input Matrix from the "You'll Return" session. Notice how the BD is assigned to Input 1, the HH to input 2, Toms to 3 and 4, Bass 5, Snare 6 and the overheads on input 7 and 8.
While the combination of iPad and Auria creates a very powerful tool for music recording and mixing, there is still room for improvement. The lack of a "Take" or "Playlist" system, like that in Pro Tools, can make managing multiple takes cumbersome. This could be a potential deal-breaker for complex studio sessions.
Want to tackle your own iPad recording session? Here are some tips I found invaluable in making my recording process run as smoothly as it did.
Maximize battery time: Fully charge your iPad before the session, and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Reduce the brightness as much as possible.
Restart your iPad: Make sure your device isn't using valuable processing power on background apps by restarting it right before your session.
Quit all other apps: If you're not using them to record, you don't need them active. Use your iPhone for any auxiliary apps; for all others, double-tap the Home button to open the multitasking screen and swipe up on the app screens to quit them.
Use good pre-amplifier and microphones: Using quality pre-amplifiers and microphones will help you achieve great results. For the recording of "You'll Return," I used one API 512c, one Neve 511 and two Chameleon Labs 581s.
Location, location,location: The room in which you record has a big impact on the sound of your final result. For "You'll Return," I was fortunate to be able to record in one of the new Production Suites that Berklee College of Music recently built in Boston.
Don't forget to back up your project using an app like Ecamm's PhoneView.
Back up your session: After each day of recording, use a program like Ecamm Network's PhoneView to back up your app's files for redundancy.
When it comes to post-production, mastering is a key element for any contemporary music project. While it's possible to achieve some decent results directly in Auria, I recommend using a dedicated mastering tool instead. Positive Grid offers Final Touch ($20), the first real mastering app for iPad that features all the traditional tools of a professional mastering application.
The Final Touch mastering app by Positive Grid.
Final Touch gives you full control over your final mix via two full multi-band equalizers (one pre and one post), a reverb, a multi-band compressor, a stereo imager, and a maximizer. It comes with a good selection of presets, and enables you to save your own presets, too. Sonically, this mastering app is very robust. It can't currently compete with more professional (and also much more expensive) computer-based mastering tools such as iZotope Ozone, but overall I find it easy to use and extremely powerful for any work I do on the iPad.
As we all well know, interoperability between apps on the iOS platform can be convoluted and complicated (ever tried to edit the same document in Pages and Word for the iPad?). When it comes to audio production though, things work reasonably well. The main audio apps (including Cubasis, Auria, and Final Touch) can send mixes and multitrack projects to some of the most popular cloud services such as Dropbox and SoundCloud, FTP servers (Final Touch), as well as via iTunes file sharing and email. AudioCopy (an SDK for moving audio files between apps) is also available as a valid alternative to cloud-based sharing for mono or stereo tracks. These options make sharing tracks and mixes among different applications really easy.
Because of some of the limitations of iOS, it is vital that you plan your sessions meticulously. For my sessions I usually do all the MIDI pre-production in Cubasis. This is where I lay down my MIDI tracks (both final and/or temporary). Cubasis offers great MIDI features and some good audio tools. Once my MIDI tracks are ready I render them as audio and export them as audio stems via DropBox. The next step consists of opening Auria, creating a new session, then importing all the tracks previously exported from Cubasis from my Dropbox account.
Importing the preproduction stems in Auria from Dropbox.
In the case of "You'll Return," Ella sent me the pre-production temporary audio tracks via Dropbox, so all I had to do was import them from my Dropbox account into Auria. With the temp tracks (drums, piano, bass, and guitar) in Auria, I started tracking and replacing drums and bass in the same session. I highly recommend tracking them together in order to get a more solid groove (the drums was placed in an isolation booth for better separation). I then proceeded to record the guitars (electric and acoustic), then the background vocals, and finally, the lead vocal. All the editing and mixing was done in Auria and the final mastering in Final Touch. From Final Touch, it was a breeze to send the final mastered mix to SoundCloud.
After each day of recording I make sure to back up the session using Ecamm Network's $30 PhoneView, a small Mac utility that allows you to see, manage, and copy the content of the packages of the apps installed on your iOS devices. As the recorded sessions are stored in the Documents folder inside the Auria package, to back them up I need only drag the Session folder to my Mac's hard drive.
While using the iPad for recording a band might not be for everyone just yet, I am always surprised by the quantity and quality of the work I manage to do on this little device. I also think that, to a certain extent, having boundaries and limitations can make us more focused and our creativity more inspired. Overall I am extremely confident about the future of this platform for professional music production, particularly considering that this is a tool that is still in its "toddler" stage. In fact, I am finishing designing a new course called "Music Writing and Production with the iPad" for Berklee College of Music. An online version of the course is scheduled to be released in Janury 2015 for Berklee Online.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is the future of creativity in music production, and this toddler is fast racing toward adulthood.

Commonwealth Games Focus: British Champion, Holly Jones aims for the podium
Holly Jones aims to have two teams behind her when she competes for her country at next year's Commonwealth Games – Team Wales and Team Jones.
Jones – who regained the British senior vault title at the recent British Gymnastics Championships – has a big year ahead that she hopes will include winning a medal in Birmingham.
At the last Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast in 2018, the 20-year-old from Swansea agonisingly missed out on the podium in the vault competition when she finished fourth.
Her mother and father were there to cheer her on Down Under, but with the next Games on Wales' doorstep, Jones will have no shortage of backing.
"I'm super excited about the Commonwealth Games," says Jones, a former pupil at Morriston Comprehensive School.
"It's obviously going to be a bit different to Australia. It's not going to be as sunny and as nice weather, for a start.
"But I'm glad it's at home because only my parents and my coaches came out to watch me in Australia. I think it'll be nice to have a crowd and all my family, friends and everyone to come and watch me.
"I just missed out on bronze last time, finishing fourth. So that is one of my main goals for 2022 - to get into the finals, definitely, then hopefully get a medal. That's the goal."
Jones has certainly put down a marker with her title-winning performance in Guildford in November, which came on the back of her winning silver on the same apparatus at the Northern European Championships which were held in Cardiff in the same month.
To become British champion, it required a 13.425 average mark for her two vaults. She also finished sixth on floor and 23rd on beam.
The British title triumph was a repeat of the gold she won in 2018, before a serious knee injury tested her resilience with her second serious injury.
"Competing at the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and also winning vaults at the British in 2018, I was really proud of those achievements.
"Before 2018 in the trials for the Commonwealth Games, I had a really bad back injury. I wasn't really sure if I would make all of the trials and compete at them.
"That was really hard because I didn't know what the future would hold - making the Australia team was my dream and my goal and when I found out that I'd really badly hurt my back, I thought it was over.
"For everyone in sport, I would say just have fun an enjoy the learning experience.
"There's going to be lows and highs, and when you feel like it can't get any lower or you've hit a low and you feel like you can't carry on, just keep going because it will get better."
Holly Jones was crowned British Senior Vault Champion for the second time at the 2021 Women's Artistic British Championships. Picture: Welsh Gymnastics
"I love multi-sporting events"
Jones started her gymnastics journey not long after she had learned to walk. She was taken to parent and toddler classes, progressed into recreational groups, and from there into competitive squads, eventually gaining selection for Wales.
But although she set her sights on gymnastics from a young age, Jones is a big admirer of other sports, which is why competing at events like the Commonwealth Games feels so special.
"It's a fantastic experience. I love multi-sporting events. We don't do much of it in gym, it's just all-round, team competitions and just gym.
"But I like seeing and going to watch different sports, the village, seeing everyone around, when you pin swap – the whole lot!"
Originally from Swansea Gymnastics Centre, Jones is now coached by Natalie Lucitt-Jenkins, who also wore red for Wales at the Commonwealth Games in 1998.
It's a progression and handing on of the baton for her country that Jones herself would one day like to emulate. She has already started taking his first steps into coaching with younger gymnasts.
"I've been with Natalie as my coach since I was about six or seven, so I've been with her throughout all of it, really.
"But as well as training, I'm coaching at the moment. I've got a group of little ones, seven to eight-year-olds that I train, so I definitely want to keep that up and progress with them.
"It's not just about developing them as gymnasts, but me as a coach as well.
"I want to stay in the sport. I think it's given me so much, I want to give back. Hopefully, one day I can get those youngsters into big competitions."

Boot Camps In North Carolina
WinGate Wilderness Therapy is a top-rated Outdoor Therapeutic Adventure Program, chosen by parents as an alternative to Boot Camps For Troubled Teens in North Carolina. Located in beautiful Southern Utah, and with over 80 years of collective experience with wilderness therapy programs, the WinGate program knows how to treat both troubled teens and struggling young adults. We accomplish this by supporting them in the discovery of a new path and direction in life.
The philosophy behind most boot camps is: if you scream and discipline children enough, they will "get in line." The findings are that while enrolled in the intense, overpowering, military-like setting of a boot camp, defiant teenagers may actually "fall in line." But this "rehabilitation" is, unfortunately, only temporary and based out of fear, thus not producing any "lasting" changes in teens.
It is critical for any parent to investigate other viable treatment options. Adventure Therapy Program is far more effective in transforming the lives of troubled teens, while helping them get their lives back on the right track.
Outdoor Education For Struggling Teens
Recognized as a premier therapeutic transitional living program, WinGate teaches independent living skills and personal accountability that lead to a lasting healthy and balanced life. We are confident that when you choose our program, as an alternative to boot camps, the positive impact on your teen's poor behavior will give your family the results you desire.
Here at WinGate, you can expect the best results from our compassionate and experienced staff. This research-validated method of wilderness-based treatment makes our work WORK! The serene and distraction-free setting of our wilderness area can help even the most "treatment-resistant" adolescents from North Carolina find their way.
Call Wingate Wilderness Therapy today at (800) 560-1599, and allow us to give your troubled teen the help they need.
Juvenile Boot Camps Pros and Cons
There are no findings from research that "favor" boot camps, in light of any of the initial intentions for rehabilitation. Recidivism rates of boot camp participants (referring to a person's chance of relapse back into criminal behavior) are roughly the same when compared to former prison inmates.
In fact, Boot Camps have recently come under sharp criticism by mental health practitioners for being "too harsh while not addressing the juvenile's real underlying psychological problems through proper counseling and therapy."
Over the years, we have served literally thousands of boys, girls, and young adults from North Carolina and from all over the country. WinGate's track record speaks for itself when it comes to life changing results. Our troubled teen graduates are growing to be mentally healthy adults, and emerging as strong individuals motivated to succeed.
Bringing forth peace and restoring emotional health is our goal. Our desire is to witness the realization of your struggling boy or girl make the transition into a triumphant adulthood and living independently. To us, the way to achieve this recovery is by showing them how to harness their cravings through the power of the wilderness.
North Carolina Boot Camps For Kids
Juvenile boot camps (also called "shock" or "intensive" incarceration programs), are typically correctional facilities of the state. Usually, for a teen to be placed in a boot camp, he or she must be sentenced to a camp by a judge. Before entrusting your child or teen to a boot camp program, we urge you to consider that most operate without accreditation or licensure, and there is typically little oversight or accountability.
Our philosophy, here at Wingate, is that while treating troubled kids and adolescents, we create an environment of responsiveness while reducing any resistance they may have to change and toward authority.
At Wingate, we practice "cooperation" rather than "confrontation." Although we follow explicit rules to maintain the safety and overall program effectiveness, we also value and honor each student's unique path. Because we have respect and positive regard for every student, our therapists strive to gain insights into each individual.
Boot Camps For Troubled Teens
Free boot camps for troubled teens typically do not exist. However, there are state-funded boot camps that can be utilized only if your teen has been or is in the state juvenile system. Although state-funded boot camps may be the only option financially available for some people, this option causes drawbacks worth considering.
In the past, some private boot camps and military academies have offered scholarship and grant programs for families unable to afford the tuition. But these "grant" programs are typically "loans" to be paid back in the form of monthly payments. What's more, most of these programs are extinct and hard to find.
Bringing to pass peace and the restoration of emotional health to students from North Carolina and from all over the country is our goal. WinGate's plan is to see your boy or girl make the transition into adulthood while living independently as a mentally healthy person. Feel free to contact WinGate's admissions department regarding enrollment, tuition, and other information.
For testimonials from current and past Wingate families and clients, reach out to our administrator at (800) 560-1599. We have helped many at-risk teens from North Carolina in the past.
National Authority for Parents of Struggling Youth from North Carolina
MentalHealth.gov: Location and local North Carolina environments can have a significant impact on mental health, particularly amongst teenagers and young men and women. Community Conversations is a national initiative with the intention of collecting opinions and information from North Carolina communities; to inform region-based action plans. The aim of the programs is to guide service providers and therapeutic facility locations in North Carolina to give the most effective, relevant outcomes for the area that they serve; especially for disadvantaged neighborhoods where crime and anti-social behavior may be linked to mentally ill health. Their plans are to concentrate thier guidance in North Carolina, where it's needed most.
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): National Alliance on Mental Illness is the nation's largest and most comprehensive grassroots mental health community. It is dedicated to building healthier lives for North Carolina residents, and the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. A mental illness is a mental health condition that impacts an individual's thought processes, emotions, and anxiety. It may also affect the person's ability to relate to others, as well as function on a daily basis. NAMI strives to shape the national public policy landscape for at-risk teenagers, young men and women, and families in North Carolina; affected by mental illness. NAMI also offers grassroots volunteer leaders with the tools, resources, and skills necessary to protect the mental health of individuals in North Carolina, and all over the nation.
Boot Camps for Troubled Teens From North Carolina
WinGate Wilderness Therapy is an alternative to Boot Camps For Troubled Teens and Juveniles. We are a highly rated Outdoor Therapeutic Adventure Program with over 80 years experience in wilderness therapy programs. Located in beautiful Southern Utah, the WinGate program provides healing and proper treatment for troubled teens. We support troubled teens with a wide range of problems, helping them discover a new path and direction in life.
Boot camps for troubled teens are based on the philosophy of screaming and disciplining troubled teens for any little infraction or deviance by the teen. This intense, overpowering, military-like setting of a boot camp is supposed to help defiant teenagers actually become compliant and acquire an acceptable lifestyle.
Do Troubled Teens From North Carolina Need Boot Camps?
No research-based studies have been found that favor boot camps, especially when comparing actual results with the boot camps' initial predictions for rehabilitation. After attending a boot camp, the chance of a troubled teen relapsing back into unascceptable behavior is about the same as former prison inmates returning to crime.
An article in the Nando Times, July 6, 2001 says the following about boot camps.
"Boot camps use military discipline to try to turn rebellious youngsters' lives around. But over the past decade, as the popularity of such camps has grown, so have abuse allegations, lawsuits and deaths." Nando Times, July 6,2001
An article in the highly respected Scientific American magazine by Scott O. Lilienfeld and Hal Arkowitz on November 1, 2014 stated the following.
"...studies indicate that highly confrontational therapeutic approaches are rarely effective in the long term."
It's important for parents to know that Boot Camps have recently come under sharp criticism, by mental health practitioners, for being too harsh while not addressing the juvenile's real underlying psychological problems through proper counseling and therapy.
This type of rehabilitation is temporary and based out of fear or having someone telling them what to do. In actuality, this type of program is not capable of producing any lasting changes in teens.

Instead of just giving your child money for movies, outings, and electronics, help them find ways to earn, save, and manage money for these luxuries. Many parents find this kind of involvement to be more time consuming than just delving out the dough, but in the long teaching kids to take care of their needs first, will save much more grief than it causes.
Are you a parent who has no experience in dealing with an addicted child? The lies, denial, sneaking around. Maybe you rationalize it by saying, "At least he's not using drugs". Maybe you're worried that professional advice can be conflicting and confusing. But, what else are you going to do? It's time to get your family help.

First Media Outlet Fined for 'Gay Propaganda' in Russia
Gay Propaganda Ban in Russia (116)
Anti-gay propaganda legislation introduced in Russia last year has been used for the first time against media with the fining of a newspaper editor who reported about a school teacher allegedly fired because he was gay.
MOSCOW, January 30 (RIA Novosti) – Anti-gay propaganda legislation introduced in Russia last year has been used for the first time against media with the fining of a newspaper editor who reported about a school teacher allegedly fired because he was gay.
Alexander Suturin, editor-in-chief of the Molodoi Dalnevostochnik newspaper in the Far East, was fined 50,000 rubles ($1,400), local news website Amurburg.ru said Thursday.
Suturin, who blamed the verdict on a "shadow morality police" and "brown plague," said he would appeal.
Molodoi Dalnevostochnik, the oldest publication in the Khabarovsk region, came under fire because it bears a label warning people only above the age of 16 to visit its website, Amurburg.ru said.
A law passed in June prohibited "promotion of nontraditional sexual relations among minors." The age of majority in Russia is 18.
The story in questioned, titled "A History About Gay-ography," dated back to September.
It detailed the claims of a local geography teacher and gay rights activist who said he was pressured into quitting his job at school and assaulted by neo-Nazis because of his sexuality.
Suturin denied in court that the report constituted "propaganda" of gay relationships.
The law against "gay propaganda" has provoked a backlash in the West and prompted calls to boycott the Sochi Olympics taking place next month.
The law prohibits informing underage children about the "attractiveness of nontraditional sexual relationships" and giving them "distorted ideas about social equality of traditional and nontraditional sexual relationships."
President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly claimed in public, however, that the law does not amount to discrimination of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community.
