The Seymour Duncan SSL-5 Single Coil for 7-String
Here's a track I recorded using just the Seymour Duncan SSL-5 single coil for 7-string in my Ibanez UV777BK Universe. The SSL-5 is a high output true single-coil for warm instruments, with Alnico 5 rods and a DC Resistance of 12.9k. Though it looks like the SSL-1 and has that distinct vintage tone, the SSL-5's over-wound coil yields higher output, more sustain and great harmonics. The result is a pickup that rocks hard and cuts through the mix, but cleans up nicely when you back off the volume. The other pickups in this guitar are my Custom Shop Magnetar and a Production Floor Custom Sentient with white logo and glossy bobbins, but I don't use those at all in this track: everything you hear is SSL-5.

INTERVIEW: Veruca Salt's Louise Post
Veruca Salt were an anomaly when they hit it big in the mid 90s. Louise Post and Nina Gordon created a wall-of-guitars sound upon which to hang their intricate harmonies and hooky-yet-edgy songwriting – and when you step back and think about it, Louise was one of the few guitarists to get solos on the radio consistently throughout the 90s. The partnership of Louise and Nina ended in the 90s but now the whole gang is back together and touring, and they've released two new songs – "The Museum of Broken Relationships" and "It's Holy" – to show us where they're at before a full album is released in the near future. I spoke to Louise on the eve of the band's Australian tour. Read More …

Introducing IK Multimedia iRig Pads
I know that for me one of my biggest challenges when making music at home on the computer is trying to get my drum tracks to sound lifelike. I hate that overly mechanical, ultra-quantised, every-hit-sounds-the-same MIDI drum sound that's all over the place. I agonise over drawing in my own drum parts one note at a time in the MIDI window. Lately I've been using IK Multimedia's iRig Keys to do it instead, which introduces an extra layer of realism (typically I'll do one pass for the kick and snare and another for the cymbals). But now IK Multimedia has announced something that will make this process more intuitive and performance-oriented than my awkward keyboard-tapping: iRig Pads! There are jillions of things you can program this thing to do but I know that for me it's exactly what I want to get more lifelike drum performances onto my tracks. It works with your iOS device or computer. Here's the press release: Read More …

Catch Living Colour Live Online!
I don't think I could ever overstate just how much Living Colour has helped to shape my musical development. They showed me you could explore all sorts of different styles while anchoring everything in rock, whether it's funk, jazz, metal or avant garde. They show us that you can be a world-class practitioner of your instrument of choice but you can do it with soul, feeling, energy and humour. And they're some of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet.
Oh and they're a stunning live band. You can witness this for yourself by tuning in on Wednesday October 1 to see Living Colour live on Yahoo Screen Live from The Independent in San Francisco! The link is right here where you will see a countdown to the event. (For me here in Melbourne the time will be October 2nd, 2014, 2:30 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time). There's a 'Remind Me' button on that link to send you a message by text message (USA numbers only) or email right before the show is about to start, so whatever time zone you're in, you have no excuse! And after the concert streams live, the show will loop for 24 hours ,so if you can't catch the performance the first time around, you'll still be able to go back and experience it. You can see the current 30-day lineup of other shows here. There have been plenty of killer shows recently including Bob Mould, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, The Offspring, Yes, Buckcherry and the mighty KISS, so I'm excited to see what other stuff is on the horizon.
For more on Living Colour, here's my interview with Vernon Reid back when the band was about to play at the Soundwave festival in February 2014.

Majik Box Body Blow Jake E Lee Mod Overdrive
PRESS RELEASE: After months of R&D and serious road testing by the man himself, Jake E Lee (current Red Dragon Cartel and former Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands guitarist), Majik Box is proud to begin shipping the new Body Blow Jake E Lee Mod overdrive. Never truly happy with any overdrive pedal in his arsenal, Jake and his guitar tech Scott Bell asked Majik Box to modify the company's Body Blow overdrive to his exacting specs. The key idea behind this mod was to give the Body Blow more "bark and grunt" for his solos. And although the standard Body Blow has a significant amount of mid-range in its tonal palette, he was looking for a EQ modification to the pedal that would take his usual Charvel Strat bridge humbucker into a low-mid-range focused, P-90 pickup territory, in addition to adding a nice dollop of gain.

REVIEW: Sterling By Music Man SUB RAY4
This gets a bit tricky, so bare with me. Originally there was Music Man, a company co-founded by Leo Fender which made instruments and amplifiers. One of their developments was the StingRay bass, which Sterling Ball helped to design. This company was eventually sold to Ernie Ball. In the noughties, Certain Ernie Ball Music Man designs were the basis for a budget line called OLP (which quite blandly stood for Official Licensed Product). They were great budget instruments but eventually that came to an end. Then there was (and is) Sterling By Music Man, which offers mid-priced (and brilliant) instruments based on classic MM designs. Now there's SUB by Sterling by Music Man to cater to the budget end of the market again. These instruments were released at NAMM a couple of years ago and they feature several classic Music Man designs, one of which is the StingRay, in the form of the Ray4 four-string and Ray5 five-string.

Yngwie Malmsteen Oz/NZ Tour Announced!
YES! It's been far too long since I've seen the mighty Yngwie J. Malmsteen onstage. After visiting this year for a guitar masterclass for Thump Music (whose next tour is Devin Townsend), Yngwie is returning to Australia and New Zealand in February 2015 to slay us all with his otherworldly talents. And there are VIP tickets available granting access to an exclusive Q&A session. I've had the pleasure of interviewing Yngwie and he was intelligent, informative and freaking hilarious. If you've read his interviews in print you're missing a lot of the context and humour in his voice and mannerisms, something you can only pick up by talking to the guy, so this is a great chance for a lucky few to do that.
Here's the press release:

Raila cautions Parliament against criminalizing 'Hustlers vs Dynasty' slogans
We fought for & should respect free speech-Odinga
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga during a past public event
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has cautioned parliament against passing a Bill to have the "Hustlers versus Dynasty" slogans used by politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto, criminalized.
In a statement on Wednesday, Odinga said that he had learnt of a plan by parliament's National Security Committee to criminalize the slogan, and strongly advised against it.
The ODM leader said that Kenyans fought for freedom of speech, which should be respected, adding that those who see the dangers contained in the slogan, should continue educating Kenyans against falling victims.
"I would strongly appeal to members parliament to drop any attempts to legislate against this otherwise deadly slogan.
As a country, we fought for, and should respect free speech and association. We should be able to allow the Deputy President and his team to continue with their chosen slogan without any inhibitions. Those of us who see its dangers should continue educating our people against falling for it.
I have faith that Kenyans will see through this divisive and potentially deadly rhetoric and its attacks on fellow Kenyans, and reject it in the end," said Raila Odinga.

The UN has financed the operations of the United States government for over 50 years and now owns every man, women and child in America. The UN also holds all of the Land in America in Fee Simple. *
The good news is we don't have to fulfill "our" fictitious obligations. You can discharge a fictitious obligation with another's fictitious obligation. *
The depression and World War II were a total farce. The United States and various other companies were making loans to others all over the World during the Depression. The building of Germanys infrastructure in the 1930's including the Railroads was financed by the United States. That way those who call themselves "Kings," "Prime Ministers," and "Fuher,"etc could sit back and play a game of chess using real people. Think of all of the Americans, Germans etc. who gave their lives thinking they were defending their Countries which didn't even exist. The millions of innocent people who died for nothing. Isn't it obvious why Switzerland is never involved in these fiascoes? That is where the "Bank of International Settlements" is located. Wars are manufactured to keep your eye off the ball. You have to have an enemy to keep the illusion of "Government" in place. *
Guess who owns the UN?

Shorter Doree Lewak
by Sarah in Feminism Tags: anti-feminism, catcalling, Doree Lewak
"I am desperate for male validation."
Ms. Lewak seems like the kind of woman–sorry, the kind of "gal"–who sobs and cries out for daddy whenever she orgasms.
Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.
by Sarah in Books, Feminism Tags: anti-feminism, Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women, Charlotte Hays, Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert, Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation sucked big sweaty ballz, Rachel Simmons, The Curse of the Good Girl
What makes me sadder than book reviews of feminist works by obviously anti-feminist needledicks? Negative, seemingly purposefully ignorant reviews of such works by women who claim to be feminists. Usually when it will add another zero to their paycheck.
First, we have Elizabeth Wurtzel's review of Rachel Simmon's The Curse of the Good Girl. Just to let us know right off the bat what kind of head-splodingly crass and ignorant drivel we're in for, she starts review off with a disgustingly classist/racist old wheeze: that academic standards have fallen ever since the fancy schools started allowing colored folk, Jews, and vagina-Americans to sully their ivy-covered halls. No, really, she actually says that:
Ever since the fancy schools started recruiting in the shtetl and the hood, elitism as a coherent narrative has declined to meaninglessness.
She also totally misses the point of the entire book, but that's understandable. She was probably coked up and snorting crushed Ritalin off a hooker's tits when she wrote this review, like she was when she wrote Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women. Which is most memorable nowadays for claiming Hillary Clinton is an irrelevant non-entity. You may remember her as the First Lady who became a New York senator, was thisclose to becoming the nations's first female president, then was appointed Secretary of State. Yeah, nothing to see here, move along.
Then we have Charlotte Hays writing a sneering op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, claiming that feminists have our knives out for Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, because she got married. Because Eat, Pray, Love is some kind feminist manifesto. (Hint: Sarcasm! It is not. It's the story of a self-absorbed wealthy white female Baby Boomer who "finds herself" while globetrotting in exotic locales. I found myself once, I was behind the 'fridge the whole time.) And feminists are agin' marriage. Which is silly, because secretly we all want a man to protect us from the scary world. Also, lesbians are a myth, like unicorns.
I'm sort of aghast that Mz. Hays sincerely seems to believe that feminists are keeping close tabs on Gilbert's personal life and feeling personally betrayed by her relationship choices. I can't speak for all feminists, but this woman barely registers on my own radar. I actually plan my own emotional responses around whether or not Lady GaGa is a hermaphrodite.
the daily mail: another reason to celebrate the 4th of july
30 May 2008 1 Comment
by Sarah in Feminism Tags: alice walker, anti-feminism, Feminism, rebecca walker
That hideous rag The Daily Mail is currently running an essay by Rebecca Walker, the daughter of celebrated black feminist author Alice Walker. Apparently Rebecca would have been better off being raised by wolves, and she grew up to have, in the words of a former co-worker of mine, "issues like tissues". Somehow, this is all feminism's fault!
One of my biggest pet peeves is anti-feminists assigning way more weight to feminism than it actually has. The dictionary definition of "feminism" is the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. That is all that it means.
It doesn't mean that feminists have to hate men, leave their husbands, or spurn marriage. It doesn't mean that feminists have to resent children, dismiss the idea of having them, or mistreat the ones they do have. It doesn't mean feminists have to refuse to shave their legs or use make-up, feel guilty if they accomplish less with their lives than practice neurosurgery or write Pulitzer Prize-winning novels, or spend all their free time filing federal lawsuits and going on marches. It certainly isn't, in the immortal crazed ranting of Pat Robertson "a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians".
You can do all those things and be a feminist, of course, but it isn't a requirement. The only requirement is the belief in the social, political, and all other rights of women being equal to those of men.
I'm sorry that Rebecca Walker thinks her mother interpreted this belief as permission to raise her daughter in ways that obviously emotionally damaged her. I'm sorry she seems to have had a terrible childhood and now has an irrevocably damaged relationship with her mother. But this is not feminism's fault. Some people were unfortunate enough to have shitty parents and lousy childhoods long before the concept of feminism; this will no doubt continue to be true until that mythical, longed-for day when the human race achieves total perfection.

The Geneva School has defined three boards that provide leadership and support to the school in complementary ways: a Board of Governors (see below), a Board of Reference, and an Advisory Board.
The BOARD OF GOVERNORS has ultimate accountability for ensuring that the mission, vision, and values on which the school was founded are progressively fulfilled and realized in all areas of school life. The members of this board are responsible for hiring a suitably qualified head of school and empowering him (or her) to direct the operation of the school in accordance with these founding principles. Working primarily through its constituent committees, it also oversees corporate governance and finances and provides leadership for major projects that support the school vision.
John Riley has served on The Geneva School board of governors since 2003 and currently serves as board chair. He also serves on the boards of several other private, public, and non-profit organizations.

All of these companies had successful exits over that time.
Mr. Riley earned a BA in Liberal Arts from Rollins College in 1982 and in 1984 a BS in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech. He and his wife Laura met at Rollins College and have two children who attended Geneva beginning in kindergarten: Shannon (TGS Class of 2013, Furman University) and Brooke (TGS Class of 2015, Davidson College).

Q: Foreach in CodeIgniter I want to select some news excluded the first 4 and I got a error
Invalid argument supplied for foreach:
Model:
public function get_all_news_home()
{
    $exclude = array();
    $this->load->database();
    $last_news_query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM News WHERE Type = 1 AND Ready='Y' ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 4");
    $last_news = $this->db->query($last_news_query);
    $last_news = ($last_news->num_rows()) ? $last_news->result_array() : NULL;
    foreach ($last_news as $ln)
    {
        array_push($exclude,array('id' => $ln['ID']));
    }

    $newsIds = implode(',', array_values($exclude));

    $all_news = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM News WHERE News.Ready = 'Y' AND News.ID NOT IN ('$newsIds') ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 12");

    if($all_news->num_rows())
    {
        $all_news = $all_news->result_array();
    }
    else
    {
        $all_news = NULL;
    }
    return $all_news;
}

Controller:$this->data["all_news"] = &$this->site_news->get_all_news_home();

A: change this. you should check for null condition before passing it to foreach.
public function get_all_news_home()
{
    $exclude = array();
    $this->load->database();
    $last_news_query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM News WHERE Type = 1 AND Ready='Y' ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 4");
    $last_news = $this->db->query($last_news_query);
    $last_news = ($last_news->num_rows()) ? $last_news->result_array() : NULL;
    $all_news = NULL;
    if($last_news!=NULL){
       foreach ($last_news as $ln)
       {
          array_push($exclude,array('id' => $ln['ID']));
       }

       $newsIds = implode(',', array_values($exclude));
       $all_news = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM News WHERE News.Ready = 'Y' AND News.ID NOT IN ('$newsIds') ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 12");

       if($all_news->num_rows())
       {
          $all_news = $all_news->result_array();
       }
    }
    return $all_news;
}

A: $exclude = array();
$this->load->database();
$last_news = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM News WHERE Type = 1 AND Ready='Y' ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 4");

//$last_news = $this->db->query($last_news_query);
//remove this line you are re-executing the query.

$last_news = ($last_news->num_rows()) ? $last_news->result_array() : NULL;

//before foreach add if condition
if (!is_null($last_news)) {
    //add your code
}

Adding if condition before foreach is always a good practice. I hope this would help you.

A: I think this simple function should work nicely for you. Please use this simple function and let us know what happened.
public function get_all_news_home()
{
    $this->load->database();

    $all_news = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM News WHERE Type = 1 AND Ready = 'Y' ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 4, 12");

    if($all_news->num_rows())
    {
        $all_news = $all_news->result_array();
    }
    else
    {

At Château Du Parc, we hand pick our grapes and only the grapes that produce the highest quality wine are selected in order to ensure our wine reflects the true essence of the Appellation Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Contrôlée.
After fermentation, which lasts between 7 and 10 days, we age our wines in smaller oak vats to allow them to slowly mature with a slight oak influence. Château Du Parc ages in these oak vats between 14 and 18 months. Then the liquid is aged for a minimum of one year in our bottles. We blend our wine from both newer oak and older oak influences to produce a well-balanced full-flavored Bordeaux wine that can be enjoyed within three years of vintage or aged for 12 to 15 years.

How entrepreneur Nichola is helping fellow mums shape up
These mums are getting back into shape thanks to Tribal Fitness Bootcamp and Pramtastic
FIT FOR PURPOSE: Nichola Jarvis wants to help mum get their pre-pregnancy figures back
Liam McBurney/RAZORPIX
Nichola and Jenni do squats, with Jenni's daughter Sofia asleep in the pram
By Stephanie Bell
October 04 2011 10:31 AM
With prams parked safely to the side and toddlers playing contentedly nearby, new mums are having a "pramtastic" time getting back into shape after pregnancy.
It's not just the presence of prams and toddlers which make this new boot camp unusual but the chatter and laughter which fills the air as the women push themselves to get fit.
The Pramtastic classes are the latest offering from Tribal Fitness — a new women-only boot camp which aims to bring a fresh and novel approach to working out.
Set up by Bangor woman Nichola Jarvis, 31, who is herself a new mum and an expert in family nutrition and obesity, the idea is to bring fun to fitness while also embracing the great outdoors.
Now added to her popular Babe Bootcamps is Pramtastic where new mums can even bring their babies in on the fun, with special exercises designed to include the little ones.
Nichola said: "I've spent 10 years working in community health and fitness watching new mums struggle to fit exercise in to their new lifestyle.
"Women are often keen to get their figure back after having a baby but sometimes this can be very hard due to childcare arrangements and costs, as well as feeling de-motivated with exercise thanks to the boredom of routine, poor post-natal advice, lack of support and restrictive contracts."
Nichola, who is originally from Bangor, moved to live in Newcastle in England where she did an honours degree in sports studies.
She married her best friend at university, Andy and settled in England where she worked for the Newcastle local authority as a health and well-being officer, specialising in tackling obesity in families with children under the age of five.
Two years ago she started her own family and shortly after daughter Kiera was born, the couple decided to move back to Northern Ireland.
Nichola said: "I wanted to be closer to my family and I also think Northern Ireland is a brilliant place to bring up kids."
That's when the idea to set up her own business came about and just over a year ago, Nichola launched Tribal Fitness.
Drawing on her experience of working with young families in England and being a new mum herself Nichola decided to tailor her classes to suit the lifestyle needs of local women.
She said: "My job in Newcastle focused on trying to get young families to make health and nutrition part of their lifestyle.
"If young children see their mums exercising and eating fruit and vegetables they are more likely to do it.
"Seeing the success of previously working with ladies, by stripping away all the 'gimmicks' of fitness and educating women on nutrition, rather than rigidly following a diet sheet, was very rewarding.
"I truly believe short-term fitness fads just breed guilt for women when they don't work."
Devoting time to helping women enjoy fitness in a non-conventional way, was a big inspiration for Nichola.
The emphasis, she says, is on fun: "The idea is that working out should be enjoyable and not a chore. My belief is if you have a laugh you don't notice how hard you have worked.
"The ladies in my classes tell me that the hour goes by very quickly because they are enjoying it so much and that's what drives me and makes me passionate about what I do."
Her other major inspiration was a love of the great outdoors.
She said: "We have gorgeous outdoor spaces, especially here in Northern Ireland, and they are fantastic for keeping fit; if you know how to use these natural areas to your advantage!"
Even though we tend to get more rain than shine, Nichola insists the weather doesn't deter her hardy workout teams.
"In my book there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. If you let the weather stop you then you would never do anything in this country.
"In the last few weeks we have held pramatastic classes in rain, wind and thunderstorms but we are not completely bonkers - if we need to take shelter, we will."
Nichola takes a holistic approach to exercise and drawing on her past experience she is also keen to give advice and tips on family nutrition as well as exercises that can be done at home.
She says: "I'm absolutely passionate about what I do and I love helping people to break those bad habits and for me it is not a chore.
"When women tell me they feel healthier or that they've dropped a dress size, that type of feedback and knowing that it is working for these families, is what makes it all worthwhile." Juggling running a busy new business with being a mum has been tough and Nichola says it is only with the support of her family and husband Andy, a freelance marking manager, that she has managed to put so much into making Tribal Fitness the success it is.
Daughter Kiera meanwhile is learning by example: "When we are in the park she would do her keep fit exercises because she has seen mummy doing them.
"The proof really is in the pudding and if you set the example for young children which the women in the pramtastic classes are doing, it will pay off."
For details of class times and venues or for a free taster session you can contact Nichola on info@tribalfitnessbootcamps.co.uk or log onto www.tribalfitnessbootcamps.co.uk

Creative expression is vital for healthy aging. Research shows that mental activity stimulated by the arts can be especially beneficial to people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
The National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA) aims to meet the developmental needs of adults through creative engagement, sense memory and self-expression. According to the NCCA, as people grow older, the number of people with cognitive disabilities increases and more people will be diagnosed with brain and memory-related illnesses. Art programs, including music, dance, language arts, sculpting, among many other programs help create opportunities for people with cognitive disabilities.
Is there a local art program you are involved with? If so, share it here.

War In Heaven. The War for your Future began long ago.
God/Allah/Yahweh Created Adam and Ordered his Angels bow down in Obeisance to his creation. All the Angels obeyed except Lucifer, who was God/Allah/Yahweh's Brightest Angel.
God/Allah/Yahweh did Not Punish Lucifer right away for his Disobedience and commuted Punishment until Judgement Day. Have you ever wondered about this decision?
Lucifer was given a task by God/Allah/Yahweh, because Only he was so Loyal to God/Allah/Yahweh that he would Disobey the Order. The task of testing God/Allah/Yahweh's creation was given to him. The testing involves lies and deceptions and exploiting ignorance and primal instincts to make people do wrong which keeps them from ever achieving a level of intelligence that will allow them to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, much less make them worthy of the Throne of God/Allah/Yahweh. God/Allah/Yahweh told the Angels that his creation known as Man would reach the level necessary to be Worthy of his Throne in Heaven. Lucifer said that Man would never reach the level of Angel much less the level of God/Allah/Yahweh.
Judgment is coming. Hebrews 9: Jude 1:6. Acts 17: Timothy 4:8. John 12:48. Jude 1:6.
Do You Understand?? Put the pieces together of the teachings and prophecies. It matters not what religion you are for the information is everywhere and available. This time there will be no mass forgiveness as there was with the others that were sent.
God/Allah/Yahweh Be Praised For Path Of Righteousness And His Commandments.
