Song of The Year-Palmolive Featuring Pusha T and Killer Mike produced by Madlib by Freddie Gibbs
by Dan-O
In 2014 when Madlib and Freddie Gibbs produced Pinata I thought the two were magnificently matched. A song like Deeper is just not possible without the mutilated soul Madlib feeds Freddie. For some rappers soul sample based beats (Madlib, 9th Wonder) push them into a gentler, reflective place. A chance to put the teeth away and show another side; for Gibbs it is very much not like that.
You can tell because on Palmolive, one of two epic posse cuts on the new Madlib x Gibbs album Bandana, Gibbs starts his verse with "Kane season/F_ing my pastor daughter in two Jesus pieces/Dropping this blow on the basement floor/My Yeezy's squeaking" all while the bridge to the Sylvers song Cry Of A Dreamer gets the falsetto pulled out and stabbed then kicked behind Freddie to sound like the spooky painful cry that inspires his seething darkness. How bleak is Gibbs? Am I exaggerating? He doubles his own vocals so he can comment on what he is saying and the conversation he's having with himself is brutal PTSD recollection. "Fernando said they used to move chickens in the Noriega days(Yeah)/ I disrespect his name and he signed my face with a razor blade (True story, N_)."
This song is the perfect meeting of seething darkness. Killer Mike's chorus carries that bullish swagger, that evil sneer daring you to challenge or doubt the truth of this song. Pusha T doesn't just understand what Palmolive wants to do, he helped build the model for it. He begins speaking so specifically that it is chilling and he does it all in code you might not understand if your not combing through. When he says "PTSD from what I weighed on the digital," a casual fan could get lost. My favorite is "The love of your life rap n_ wear fake watches/ the serial number don't match the gift boxes." This dude is rapping about knock off watch serial numbers! Push doesn't care who understands or don't he needs to speak to his audience on this song. When Push asks the audience if they are Alpo or Mitch it's a more important question than you might understand. Mitch is dead and Alpo is in witness protection. The question brings the darkness center stage. Are you a traitor? Will you be the end of me? Where in this world can I be safe, if not for the rest of my life for a little while to just get my head together?
The other collaboration is the second to last song called Education. It has Yasiin Bey and Black Thought throwing 100 mph while Freddie does the same but it's not Palmolive. This one is for fans like me who have Raekwon lyrics tattooed on their soul. If I am ever listening to Palmolive and someone robs me I'll shrug and think "makes sense." It's the most desperate jagged lyrical diamond of 2019 and that spares no one from the conversation. Give me Bandana and keep the rest.

Song of The Year-Speedboat by Denzel Curry produced by Rugah Rahj
Very few people do what Denzel Curry does. That is what struck me when I listened to his new album ZUU and heard him rapping with Rick Ross over a crunchy jagged industrial beat. If you are an old school hip hop head you should rep Curry. He can rap. On that Ross collab the Florida MC says "My pastor making dollars like he's Eric Sermon," which is a heady EPMD reference. He knows the culture, can rap with anyone, and what he gives is not just a finished product but one with dynamic individual characteristics.
Speedboat is the best. It is crazy fun to listen to and exhibits impressive melodic and lyrical work. The bridge that leads into the chorus is
Pre-Chorus]
Jesus, please deliver us from evil
Please pray over all my people
What you see in life's illegal
I don't wanna use my Desert Eagle
The pauses he makes between each word adds even more gravity to the paranoia and violence PTSD discussed. Now check out the 2pac-esque chorus to go with it.
Big talk, speedboat (Speedboat)
Pray to God I don't get repoed (Repoed)
Didn't go to college for a free throw (Swish)
People gettin' killed through the peephole (Blah)
Have your money up before you go to war (Hmm)
Put the mask on like a luchador (Hmm)
My dawg didn't make it to 21, so I gotta make it past 24
Think about how much is discussed in that chorus? We talk about college scholarships, robbery, mortality ages in bad neighborhoods. You can feel it all coming after you(hence the 2pac comp). ZUU belongs on the year end lists because Curry is Floridas shining hope for the future. Not that the state doesn't have talent but Denzel Curry has star power. When he raps it is important every time. That is an important distinction. Curry can shout, rap, or compose a hook with equal dexterity and he doesn't owe anything to a co-sign. No movement has him hanging onto it. His work and his voice got him here.

Song of The Year-Whipped Cream by Ari Lennox
I'm impressed with Dreamville. It's a talented roster of artists from J.I.D. to Cozz to Bas and Ari Lennox but talent is all over the place. Talent doesn't surprise me. Any rap label headed by an artist runs into the same problem: 'you can be big but not bigger than me'. J. Cole struck gold with J.I.D. and struck harder with his next album(Dicaprio 2) giving him full spotlight. It takes a real emotionally intelligent person to understand those 'Is J.I.D. Better than Cole?' headlines are working In your favor. It is a deeply talented roster but more impressive than that, one where all the artists are growing in different directions together. Not many labels can lay claim to that space and growth at the same time.
The new Ari Lennox album Shea Butter Baby is a masterstroke. When I recommend it to people they snap their fingers and say 'I heard of that…' because the title track was on the Creed II soundtrack(I feel like it featured during the sensational sex scene. TESSA THOMPSON IS THE G.O.A.T). The album itself is brilliant because executive producer (producer or co-producer of 8 out of the 12 tracks) Elite figured out that this album shouldn't sound hot, fresh and new. Ari Lennox needs to feel like someone you've spent your whole life listening to. The kind of soul that always lives in the grooves of your bones and just needs to be let out. By the third listen of the album I felt like it will be playing in the background at a BBQ for my birthday in ten years. That's the kind of music this is, thick bass horns keyboards and lots of stage for our star to perform on.
Whipped Cream, specifically, is what resonates. Her hooks are always very specific and strange. To start the song with the hook and have the first lines be "I've been eatin' whip cream, having vivid dreams of your face…" differentiates the Lennox experience while the music sounds like the definition of the genre. Shea Butter Baby is classic but it is very now. The short interludes at the end of songs speak about abusive relationships and perceptions of yourself through others eyes. She manages to be funny, sexual, and human at the same time. My favorite part of Whipped Cream is when she says, "Your deceivin' receivin' not givin' head @$$." She sings it too quickly to fully grasp then sings it again. You can hear the smirk as she mocks this ex but also the real hole that hasn't refilled. Ari Lennox has songs about making love but none that are frivolous. Everything she sings is part of a three dimensional balance she seeks to achieve. Even as she sings about his inability to give oral pleasure she's not venomous. She wishes she didn't care but she does and it's because that's who she is. I love this song but if you listen and love it you need to do the whole album. You need to hear how happy she is to be naked and alone in her new apartment on New Apartment. You need to hear how Whipped Cream's end feeds into the triumphant saxophone that begins Static.

Song of The Year-Cuz I Love You by Lizzo
Song of The Year- Cuz I Love You by Lizzo
This is my favorite first song of the year (it's from the self-titled album). Sure, Lizzo has a show stopping voice of the kind I would stab an alien for. That is not the most exciting thing about Lizzo. I can't get enough of how totally reckless and bonkers she is. Her uncontrolled energy bursts in all directions on the title track produced by Ithaca NY rock band X Ambassadors.
I'm sure a lot of people are writing how great this album is from a body positivity standpoint; that it is great to have more vibrant black female voices. Problem with those takes is they come out of a jar ready to be spread out to fit anybody from Janelle Monae to Cardi B etc etc. Artists are specific not general so criticism should be specific.
While listening to the song you can find yourself asking questions: who would hit the high part of their register this much?! Who would open their album laughingly calling themselves a former ho?! When Pitchfork reviewed Cuz I Love You they pointed to ham fisted lines and awkward images as tough to swallow. Lizzo just doesn't have the time or energy to go Fiona Apple with the lyrics. Her strength is that she doesn't carry the fear a lot of us do. She's not afraid to belt so hard she has to catch her breath, and let you hear, not afraid to say something we all know is corny like "I would do it for you all my friend, ready baby?! Will you be my man?" The desperation in the delivery and pulverizing honesty in the lyrics take center stage even as X Ambassadors fill the track with high energy pro-wrestling rock entrance music. Musically she's so wild she's free to be honest and in a world this deceptive and artificial it feels so good to hear.

Song of The Year-Boys Will Be Boys by Stella Donnelly
The debut album by tiny lady Stella Donnelly from Perth Australia has dominated my listening for the last week plus. Album cover is definitely off putting and the subject matter is so tense in its exploration of patriarchal savagery (in both personal and political spheres) I feel her eyes as I listen. What I didn't expect was the emotional durability and craft in the album.
Beware Of The Dogs could easily have been a precious thoughtful album with high review scores but too tough to listen to, instead, it mood matches marvelously. It jokes and laughs at the problems it presents grooving while taking them to task. The melodies are composed to be sweet and soft as your heart gets broken. Her voice is really special and has layers to it that she uses extraordinarily well for someone on their debut album.
Can I tell you what I love the most about Stella? The writing is the toughest most spellbinding in the world to me. In this song she sings in heartbroken tones "Your father told you you were innocent. Told you women rape themselves." You cannot misunderstand her songs. Her lyrics are dedicated to clarity while remaining deeply important and thoughtful.
Boys Will Be Boys is a vital spotlight change in the consensual sex conversation. The spotlight always seems to be on the poor young man whose life and reputation are in jeopardy because he was accused of rape and this song helps push our vision to the women who were betrayed and dismissed. None of this album is preachy, none of it sits from a comfortable place expounding upon the right ways to live.
Beware Of The Dogs is dedicated to the real damage patriarchy causes. The damage we always seem to ignore. It is my favorite album of this year because the narrator walked me through it all with kindness and humor while NEVER pulling punches. Stella believed in my ears enough to give me the truth as brutal and complicated as it is. So few have the temerity.

Song of The Year-Westbrook by J.I.D. featuring A$AP FERG produced by Christo
It's exciting when a new voice comes into full bloom for the public. In March of 2017 when J.I.D. put out his album The Never Story the underground publications sang about it and didn't stop until the end of the year. It was that dope indy film that didn't have the budget to be as deeply entrenched in the culture as it was. What I love most about J.I.D. is that he got that bubble up and decided his next project needed to ratchet up the effort/efficiency/entertainment value. He's a clutch player. Dicaprio 2 is so good that at times it feels like being trapped. Despacito Too and Mounted Up have smash mouth minimal production feels so as to leave you face to face with the man mountain of syllables (feel free to spread this description of his ability). When he has help he's superb. Whether it is Bj The Chicago Kid, 6lack or Method Man he finds enough space to sacrifice for his guest and they shine.
A single line from a single verse really messed me up. That is on my favorite song from Dicaprio 2, Westbrook. The beat chimes like Christmas then stomps your speakers as Ferg brings perfect sneering energy on the hook but at a little over halfway through the song J.I.D. says
Live life like a baby that was dead at birth
But came alive and f—ed the nurses
Throughout the verse he is chuckling to himself just plunging into the depths of his sick mind and dumping it out. I can't lie I was very excited by how deeply inappropriate this is. This is a hip hop thing connected to the feeling NY had when Nas claimed he went to hell for snuffing Jesus. We weren't excited to see smug old Jesus finally get his it was the discovery of a new voice, a new mind we can connect to who might be weirder than anyone we know. Similarly, no unringing this bell; this kid got Joey Bad@$$ and Meth together and wrecked it next to both of them. You can read other reviews to hear where he's from what his social media footprint is like. I'm old and not going to waste space. I just want to pull up a chair and watch the young man spin this cadence till the whole world rings with it. Dicaprio 2 feels like being trapped in a place your body won't let you leave.

Song of The Year-Roll Call by Leikeli47
I play Leikeli47 a lot and my family does not mind. She produces all her own stuff and last year's album Wash & Set stays solidly in the rotation. The excitement in her flow and in the dynamic dirty bounce she concocts makes it so you don't lose enjoyment as the song becomes known to you. No matter how often you re-listen the beat still dominates the stereo, the hook becomes more and more infectious as you give yourself permission to sing-a-long. This aspect of her music is what reminds me of Missy Elliott; the conscious effort to push the pace while not sacrificing lyrical space.
The fascinating and very well done HBO show Insecure has used multiple Leikeli47 songs to soundtrack black female perspective. It makes sense if you listen to Roll Call. Leikeli47 knows drums like few in the world do while carrying the versatility to switch flows into a few different speeds. The guitar at two minutes thirty six seconds into it, the weird grunt, all of it is so much fun. On top of that, Leikeli47 is not asking permission to be taken seriously as a female MC in 2018. She just keeps burning down tracks with her trademark ski mask on. I loved Wash & Set, didn't have a bad song so I bought her first album. Loved all of it and at that point I had a name on the tip of my tongue whenever anyone asked me who was new weird and hot. Here is to hoping people watching HBO are doing some googling.

THE MUSICAL SEANCE
The Spontaneous Combustion of Jill Tracy and Paul Mercer
(photo by Libby Bulloff)
"Every object holds a story…"
Since joining forces on Halloween 2007, Jill Tracy and Paul Mercer have become widely known for their astonishing duets on piano and violin, mostly improvised or channeled. The pair affectionately refer to their duets as "spontaneous musical combustion." Their uncanny ability to conjure unsettlingly lavish compositions has led to spellbinding results, eerily transporting the room into "a Musical Séance."
Audience members are asked to bring small objects of special significance, such as a photo, talisman, jewelry, toy, token. This is a very crucial part of manifesting the music. Every object holds its story, its spirit. Energy, resonance, impressions from anyone who has ever held the object, to the experiences and emotions passed through it.

"These compositions are delicate and glorious living things they materialize, they transport, and in the same second they vanish," explains Jill Tracy of The Musical Séance. "They embody the fragile essence of Time. No two shows are ever alike, we have no control, that is the rare beauty of it."
The Musical Séance brings it one step further– harnessing the energy of the audience, a synergistic summoning of what dwells within each of us.
Following the pair's Music Séance last year in Victoria B.C, a man approached violinist Paul Mercer: "While you were playing, I could see a figure looming behind you, a man, he was soaking wet." He had no idea that the antique violin Mercer was playing that evening belonged to a murder victim who was drowned in a river.
Often, the objects themselves are just as compelling as the music they inspire. Everything from cremated cats, dentures, haunted paintings, 16th century swords, antlers, and x-rays have been presented at the seance. The excitement is–you never know what to expect.
V. Vale of RE/Search publications hailed a Jill Tracy/Paul Mercer Séance as "Sheer magic! Perfection. Improvised… If you're lucky enough to be there, you realize you've just had a hint of something extra-mortal, uber-human, transcendent – maybe the concentrated ghosts of Shakespeare's Globe Theater or the Commedia Dell'arte of the past are swirling around the room . . . and you think that THIS is the new avant-garde: live, un-censored, living theater."
Tor.com describes the Jill Tracy/Paul Mercer Séance as "musical psychometry."

Mercer, whose collection of ages-old violins each tells its own story, was the impetus for his highly regarded Ghosts CD and lecture series. His personal instrument collection features very unique voices, spirits with such strong personalities they have their own names. His current instruments include a mysterious late 19th century violin named Daphne, a luminous late 17th century violin named Abigail, and a stunning 1820 Viola named Henryetta. Paul has had the fortune to play some powerful instruments such as 1842 Nicolas Vuillaume, two Stradivari, including the magnificent Firebird Stradivari 1718 ex Saint Exupery.
The duo were commissioned to compose the popular Midnight Waltz at the 2008 International Ball of the Vampires (Portland, OR), a dramatic and ambitious work entitled Coronation of the Witch Queen. The waltz was later featured when Jill Tracy and Paul Mercer were the headlining performers at Anne Rice's legendary Halloween Ball in New Orleans.
A rare glimpse inside The Musical Séance, short film by Jonathan Castro.
From CONSTELLATION MAGAZINE cover story with Jill Tracy:
One of the wonderful things about you is how you connect with your audiences. Each performance is tapped into the energy of that audience and becomes a custom performance. The shows that stand out in my mind are the "Musical Séances" (with violinist Paul Mercer) where your fans bring objects from their dead and you channel that energy into the music. How did this relationship with your fans begin?
JT: My music and concerts are so emotionally driven in the first place. I feel that I need to be a beacon for people, and allow them into the swampy place in their souls where the sinister and sensual meet. I find it fascinating to delve into those places and take an audience with me.
After shows, fans would want to talk about the songs, the stories, their own lives and struggles. My performance would resonate with them in a deeper way than they were used to. I don't feel like I "put on a show" as much as engage and "transport" the audience into my world. They are brave enough to trust and follow me there.
I began incorporating more storytelling into my shows, my affinity for odd history and science tales, and audiences loved it. They became a defining part of the evening, and like you said, every show a singular experience.
When I began performing with Paul Mercer, we composed music "on the spot" in front of audiences. I call it "spontaneous musical combustion." The audience and environment completely drives the work. And the fans are thrilled because it's a piece of music inspired by them, in the moment, never to be heard again. People would come night after night because they wanted to hear what we would compose next and be part of it. It was ever-changing. It was alive.
With "The Musical Séance," we take it one step further and the crowd completely participates in the show. It's sort of musical psychometry. We ask audience members to bring in a cherished heirloom, or something of special significance to them: a photo, jewelry, toy, etc. They bring it to the stage and we use that object to channel the music.
The Musical Séance was exhausting at times. Night after night it was totally different. It was all about what the audience would bring to me. People would say, "This is a ring from my uncle who committed suicide." And I would put on the ring and begin to play the piano. I felt the energy and would present it musically. One particular night became so intense I was on the verge of fainting. Almost stopped the show…
It's the exact opposite from working on songs, or even improvisations. You must abandon any sense of "working" on it, and allow yourself to be the portal. It's a "surrendering." I have no idea what I am playing. I'm not in charge anymore; it becomes so much bigger than that.

Feng Shui is an ancient Taoist philosophy of balancing the qi, or elemental energy, of your surroundings. Some might say that it is superstition, and indeed Feng Shui is definitely not something that can be vetted by modern science. But remarkably, Feng Shui has been in continuous practice in China since 4000 BCE–that is, very early Bronze Age–and its most basic principles make a lot of sense. Whether you call it apartment therapy or Feng Shui, the effect of living in a colorful, well-organized home is incredibly visceral and uplifting. Here is the break down of what I think are the most applicable aspects of Feng Shui.
Ever flick through channels and stop at Hoarding, and wonder how anyone could possibly live in that? Our home is in a lot of ways a direct reflection of our inner states. Clean, organized home will keep you healthy and positive, mind and body. Rid your home of dust, mold, and unnecessary baggage, and you'll be clearing bad qi and bringing good fortune in no time.
2. Bring in more light.
Feng Shui emphasizes good light in all areas of the house, and I happen to think that much is very reasonable. Our biochemistry reflects our nature as daytime creatures, and our health and emotions are directly impacted by the amount of light we get. Look for houses or apartments with windows that let in plenty of natural light. Put inviting lamps around the house and place mirrors in north-facing rooms to reflect more light.
It's easy for your indoor air to become oxygen-poor or even just plain dirty. Make sure to open your windows to let in fresh air. Keeping a house plant or two will also help filter some of it.
4. Use visuals to attract what you want.
Visualizing your goals is a powerful tool to keep yourself focused and motivated; Feng Shui emphasizes placing appropriate art or photographs in each area of the house to promote harmony. You can also create vision boards for each room. If you have a fitness and health goal, make a vision board for the nurturing east; if you have a bucket list of travel destinations, hang posters or maps in the northwest.
According to Taoism, the universe is governed by five elements: Water, Earth, Wood, Fire, and Metal. These elements are each represented by cardinal directions, shapes, and colors, sort of like how each of your chakra is represented by different symbols and colors. The basic idea is to encourage the principal element of the direction by populating that area with its colors and symbols. For instance, placing house plants in the east and southeast, both governed by the element of Wood, will promote health and attract wealth, respectively.
Encourage presence of water in north part of your house with pictures of water, and with a cool, blue-dominated color scheme. Water is also encouraged by the presence of a mirror. (My apartment conveniently has the bathroom at its north end–that running water/mirror will work!) This area will also be suitable for a home office. North side of the house tends to not get as much natural light, so be sure to add plenty of tasteful lighting to bring in positive energy.
Ground yourself with strong images of the earth (landscape photographs or paintings will do) in this corner of your home.
Place house plants in the east and southeast (the directions that naturally get the most sunlight). This has the added bonus of cleaning the indoor air, which is an important Feng Shui move.
If you're building your own house, go ahead and put that fireplace on the south wall. If not, make sure to decorate it using plenty of warm colors and candles to reinforce the fiery energy of the south. This will also be a great location for your kitchen (what with the oven and all) or the dining room.
Again, earthy neutrals make a good choice here. You can also put photos of you and your spouse to really solidify your union. See if it works.
If you need a space to meditate or be creative (say, an artist's studio or a yoga room), here's where to do it. Place some metallic accents in this area, like a vase, metal fixtures, or even brocade cushions.
After doing this research, I'm thinking about adding a few landscapes and vision boards to my apartment (and doing a thorough cleaning, beforehand). What do you think, Peaceful Dumplings?

I love your website! I love Mason Jars as well and am looking for a calendar for my binder. It's a half binder and I was hoping and would be willing to pay for you to make a July 2016-July 2017 calendar for me. I'm also looking for a recipe page. I'm not sure if you are able to do these, but I thought it's better to ask then to wonder.
I honestly just don't have the time to make a full calendar at this time! So sorry. But I will continue to offer free month-by-month pages.


Hey! I'm so excited to tell you I've stumbled on a brand spanking new content website called Lumen5!
For some of us, creating video content is a big step. I'm not a camera person. I'm pretty camera shy.
So Lumen5 is exactly what we've been looking for!
We found this one in the ProBlogger Facebook group and we jumped on it.
In a nut shell, you load a blog post and it helps you create video content from it!
So now – we can all be on YouTube!!
It's also a great, refreshing way to engage with your audience.
And if your tech averse – fear not. It's the easiest software I'm come across so far.
You add your URL for your post OR you can choose use your own content underneath and old school copy and paste your work!
It automatically adds media for you based on the text.
And also gives you suggested media on the side.
Tip: If you click on mood it gives you a list of emotions! So you can choose happy songs, sad songs etc.
Here is where you can upload your logo for the "outro scene".
This is also where you change the font and background colour.
The background colour is that slight shading you see in the images.
To publish you need to click preview.
Not too bad! Pretty emotional with this music considering its a 20 sec video ?

Iraqi Red Crescent distributes relief and food aid to more than 1900 displaced families in the camps of Saladdin center.
The Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has distributed relief and food aid for more than 1900 displaced families who are living in Alqadisia compound and the camps of Alalam and Shahama within Saladdin center.
" The IRCS`s teams have distributed relief and food aid to 1090 displaced families who are living in Alqadisia compound and 872 displaced families living in Alalam and AlShahama camps, the assistance includes two food parcels, two bags of rice weighing 25 kilos and two health set per family", said Mr.Hyder Qassim the relief official of Saladdin center.
Qassim has added that the IRCS`s health teams are continuing to receive all the patient cases in the medical centers inside the camps, in addition to the units of the mobile medical centers have provided the medical and therapeutical services and psychosocial support for the displaced families.
The IRCS in cooperation with its partners in the International Movement of Red Cross and Red Crescent is still continuing to provide the humanitarian aid for the IDPs in the camps until they secure their return to their areas of residence.


How about a custom ROF control panel?
I have been noodling on this project. It is kind of awkward (at least for me) to use the joystick and manage other keyboard things like mixture, radiator, bombs, flares, hand signals..... So I have been thinking about making a control panel that would have many of the regularly used ROF functions assigned to buttons. This panel would just plug right into any USB port and be seen as another keyboard. There would be push buttons for each function. When any one was pressed, the corresponding keystroke(s) would be sent.
I am not trying to put every ROF function on a panel, just the ones regularly used and that are awkward to use on the keyboard because they require two key presses.
I would set the Blipswitch to a Joystick button. For Flares don't forget a Button for "Fire" and one to holster the Flare gun. Draw and Holster your personal weapon could have use too,"fire" is the same as for Flares.
Dann gibt's Heulen und Zähne klammern, für das ganze Lumpenpack.
Dann ist Schluss mit "Tischlein deck' dich", da gibt's "Knüppel aus dem Sack"!
Check out GVL224, he makes custom throttle and control panels.
He also sells the mechanics he uses for the controllers.
A gaming keyboard works well. You can program macros, so all your keystrokes are basically mapped to one key each, rather than 2 or 3 simultaneously. Of course if you like tinkering, this wouldn't appeal to your wants or needs I guess.
Very informative posts and links. Thanks.
So here is a first layout. Important to note is that the maximum limit for the controller I am going to use is 40 buttons so if I need different buttons then something on this layout has to come off. This is a keyboard emulator, not a gaming device (joystick) emulator. When a button is pressed, this thing sends the corresponding key press(es) to the computer. For example, when the BLIP button is pressed, this thing sends LSHFT-E. From the computer's perspective, there are two keyboards attached. It doesn't care which one is sending commands.
The blank cockpit and external buttons are the pilot's cockpit view and of the pilot's plane respectively.
"PZ" is pause, DEC and ACL are time acceleration and deceleration, TIR is TrackIR on/off. "Crew" changes to the different crew locations in multi-crew planes (CTRL-C). "POS" changes the gun mount firing position (LSHFT-C). "HOLD" is when the gunner holds onto (nestles) to the gun (LSHFT-T). "AIM" is when the gunner is aiming down the gun sight ("T").
While I'm not affiliated with them in any way, I can honestly say that getting that was the best 10 bucks I *ever* spent on software... For most games I play, I rarely use the keyboard (which is a godsend as my joystick is a cheapo Logitech Extreme 3D, with a minimal array of buttons).
If you have an iPad virtual cockpit apps are available where you can map functions to the touch screen and customize them for each plane. It works well with BoX.
This is partly a project for its usefulness and partly as a fun design project. $25 for the keyboard emulator controller and $80 for the 40 buttons. (Could go with cheaper but these are illuminated and rather nice looking.) The 3D printer will be busy for a while.
I have an older Logitech G940 and am able to get 95% of the functions you have on your "wish list" programmed on it.
The rest are controlled via VoiceAttack (still only $10.US) which requires only one (PTT) button.
Plus, I know a guy who writes exceptional profiles for VA.
The G940 currently has 27 active functions controlled via button press or VA and an additional number of functions that aren't easily programmed to a single key press, e.g. game start, start mission, end flight and many others.
Keep up the fine work. I am very interested to see your completed console.
There's guy on BoX forum (sorry if you have already posted here) who wrote RoF panel for virtual keyboard app for Android and Ios. Basically, you connect your pad and PC to same network, and you have plane controls on your pad. Good in dark rooms where you can't see your keyboard .
Here is something I made a few years ago.
Used a Saitek Trim and 2 quadrants.
Only one quadrant is standard.
The main quadrant used for throttle mixture and radiator was a faulty unit that I rewired for a Leo Bodnar controller board.
I ran the main throttle/mix/rad together with the switch panel above it off of a single BU0836A using a small matrix to give me more buttons.
The panel is something I knocked up in Paint Shop. Printed it out and placed it between a piece of black perspex and a clear sheet over the top.
Drilled and fitted buttons into that.
Very basic but did a brilliant job.
This was replaced by a single Warthog throttle a couple of years ago.
In hindsight I preferred my little simbox side console.
That's a great looking little unit there Steve, well done S!
Looks terrific! Very nice. Someday I'll get to a fully custom setup. Here's hoping.
I haven't done a lot of work on this project due to other priorities but I have made progress. I prototyped a portion of the keyboard emulation circuit for testing and it works great. Hit a button and the right keystroke sequence is sent out.
I added more functions until I pretty much fulled up the capacity of the microcontroller. 42 functions in all.
I tried 3D printing the panels and some of the frame parts. They came out OK but not to my liking. So I changed the design to have a wood cabinet. 3/16 high end birch ply should be fine. It will be sealed and painted in the end. As soon as I finish the drawings I'll send them out for quote from the laser cutter that I use for my R/C planes. I'd like to have the panels with the buttons engraved so that is still a bit of an unknown at this point.
The circuit board is designed. It will cost me about $35 to get 10 made from a few of the Chinese PCB makers. There is about $60 in parts that go on the board.
What is the problem you're experiencing? Different planes require different things, although 80% is reusable for them all. Since you have a joystick which includes one throttle lever you're good to go, better than many. Don't forget you need to "Apply" any changes you make and you can save your current and additional configurations.
Seriously though, I've been using the Saitek TPM controller in the bottom left of the picture for years for this purpose.
Thanks Joe,much obliged for your reply. Looking back my post was a little vague in specifics. My system is Asrock Z77 mobo; i 5 - 3570k cpu. 16gb of Ram ; Nvidia GTX 960 GRAPHICS;Win7 Pro.. My problem starts when I fire up the engine: e.g. bindings that i have entered in to the input controls either don't come on at all or tend to need a warm up period before working. e.g. Standard Camera configuration Num-pad won't work at all it is dead; then i input and apply my head controls Ins-Home-end-del ,etc. and they're fine. This issue is not just confined to the keyboard; On my Hotas x ; when setting the JS-Pov china hat,it will work great or -on next sortie - dead as a Dodo. (EVEN AFTER VIGOROUSLY REAPPLYING CONTROL INPUTS EVERY SORTIE) Could there be a bug,guys or has the recent new rules update fouled things up. Last question should I put all basic config's on My J.S. or mixture of both.See you in the skies. HNY to all my fellow ROF'S.Phil.

OGDENSBURG – A $10,000 grant from the United Way of Northern New York has paved the way for more than 20 United Helpers employees to receive training allowing them progress in their careers with the organization.
Interested employees were able to shift from employment at United Helpers Rehabilitation and Senior Care to the Assisted Living Program to work as home health aides or in leadership positions at Assisted Living.
A small group of employees also received OSHA certification, allowing them to work in maintenance or other non-direct care positions.
"We are grateful for the continued support of the United Way of Northern New York," said United Helpers Vice President of Development Christa Carroll. "This is our second consecutive year receiving a grant from the United Way, which we have used for employee development. Our employees, as well as the people we care for will benefit from these funds, whether it be through employment retention or enhanced training for our caregivers."
One of the many individuals to benefit from this United Way grant is Darcy Kerr, who now works as a med-certified home health aide, after spending the first several years of her career as a CNA.
United Helpers currently employs roughly 800 individuals in a variety of roles, including nurses, CNAs, direct support professionals, home health aides, social workers, food service, housekeeping, maintenance, and more. For more information on available positions or how you can join the United Helpers team, please visit www.unitedhelpers.org/employment or call (315) 276-6413.

CEDA spends P400m on F/town businesses
P5 million set aside for Project Facilitation Fund
Entrepreneurs to be assisted with P200 000 (50% loan-50% grant) startup capital
Liberty Life expands footprint
Modise new Stanbic CEO
Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) has so far spent P400 million to finance Batswana owned businesses in Francistown and its surroundings. This was brought to the fore by CEDA Chief Operations Officer, Andrew Madeswi during client engagement seminar in Francistown this week.
Madeswi said CEDA is committed to ensure that Batswana owned businesses thrive at all costs adding that they want locals to play a pivotal role in the economy. To fulfill this mandate, CEDA has since introduced a Project Facilitation Fund. "We have already set aside P5 million for the fund. We came up with this fund after realizing that some businesses requires a lot of cash to carry out pre-requisites before they start operations such as having to prepare an environmental impact assessment. We then decided to come up with this initiative to expedite the process of setting up a business," Madeswi explained. Under the fund, entrepreneurs will be assisted with a maximum of P200 000 which will be a loan-grant. Beneficiaries will be expected to reimburse 50 per cent of the funds while the remaining 50 per cent will be a grant.
In an effort to spread their wings across the country, Madeswi said they will soon open a new branch in Tsabong. Since last year, CEDA opened new branches in Kasane, Tsabong and Letlhakane. Consequently, CEDA has 11 branches countrywide, with a stuff complement of 300 employees; in addition the agency has also bought well-equipped mobile offices that traverse the country especially in rural areas to process loans for beneficiaries.
