![]() You can simply visit the Kaleidoscope Facebook page and see that they offer super high quality jewelry and have an ENORMOUS selection. Read Lessĭisregard the reviewer trying to claim that Cosmic Fish has a better body jewelry selection than Kaleidoscope they're obviously just here to make sure Cosmic Fish can ride on the coattails of Kaleidoscope's popularity by name dropping them in the review you see here. Was everyone so friendly that they wanted to stick around and chat? No, but they were as helpful as I needed them to be and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a piercing or a unique gift. I was in, out and on my way in just a few minutes. A few minutes later, I was called back to the piercing room which was clean and everything the piercer did was hygienic. Since my piercing had been out for a while, the girl at the counter recommended that I have the piercer insert it for me, so I roamed around and tried to talk myself out of buying yet another purse with skulls on it while I wait. I always get the same jewelry so I can't speak to how great the selection is, but they had exactly what I wanted and for cheaper than usual. I wandered over to the piercing counter and was promptly helped. I walked in and was immediately distracted by all the fun novelty stuff, as well as how clean and organized the store was. ![]() I'm sorta new to town but I drive by kaleidoscope every day on my way to work, so I figured I'd pop in one day on my way home. I had lost a nose ring and was too lazy to go buy a new one for a few weeks. Here's the deal I live an hour away each way my wife and I went in to get her septum pierced the older guy that helped us was rude it seemed like maybe it was due to how busy they were and it was just too much for him it seemed every time we asked to see something inside the glass case we were putting him out that was our first experience our second experience would be the next day the ball on my wife's horseshoe for her septum piercing fell off the first night my wife called spoke with Kim like I said Kim was awesome said come in and we'll make it right and give you a free ball and a discount on the next piece of jewelry the young guy we approached to help us told us it was first come first served so after driving an hour's time we had to wait in the store over an hour to have a piercer put a ball back on the jewelry we asked if we could leave to get a bite to eat and we're told we could lose our place in line first come first served you can see where my frustration comes from the ball shouldn't have fell off in the first place then being made to wait over an hour after driving an hour was just ridiculous my wife told the younger guy we were dealing with that Kim the store manager said we would not have to wait it's like it didn't even register with him he said first come first served was very short and rude about it I would be giving one or two stars if it wasn't for the rest of the staff making up 4 this one guy's attitude and unprofessionalism Read Less All of the female staff I dealt with were great had to deal with the manager Kim she gets 5 stars. ![]() My problem lies with the staff and some of their attitudes.

I’ve heard horror stories about certain brands of measurement mics and how different the mics are from mic to mic, batch to batch and over time.īob McCarthy makes it clear in his workshops that microphone calibration is mandatory when using multiple mics. You get what you pay for and one of the things you get with higher quality mics is consistency. It’s tempting but we can’t assume that mics from the same manufacturer and model will match in sensitivity or frequency response. Calibrating your rig is the equivalent of making all the mics match each other in both frequency response and level. The difference between each mic relates to it’s sensitivity and we need to pay close attention to this detail if we are to calibrate our rig and get useful information when using multiple mics. The following offsets were necessary to match the mics in level. Without adding the offsets to the rig, the same measurement results would look like this: So it’s true that the mics roughly match in frequency response but it’s false that they match in sensitivity. I had to setup offsets to make them match each other. ![]() True and false? Something that isn’t revealed by the data presented so far is that the sensitivity of the different models of mics don’t match. ![]() It would appear that (5) Audix mics – (3) different models from (3) different eras all match pretty well. The rest of the mics are pretty close in frequency response. Notice that one of the TR40 (yellow trace) rises up between 4k and 16k even more. Notice that the pink trace rises up a bit between 4k and 16k. Having verified the TM1 against two Earthworks TC40K mics and satisfied with those tests, I can trust the TM1 for measurement purposes and use it as a reference point for all the other Audix mics in my kit. All supported by the specs Genelec provides. Note how the low frequency response begins to roll off around 70hz and the high frequency response begins to roll off around 20 kHz. Note where the phase rotates around 3.3 kHz. Note the TM1 closely matches the TC40K matched pair. Keeping that in mind, the first measurements I made were of my Earthworks TC40K matched pair and the Audix TM1. The following information gives us a baseline of what to expect when we measure. As a sound source, I used a Genelec 1029a self powered speaker. Having recently acquired a used Audix TM1, I was curious to see how it compared to it’s predecessor, the Audix TR40a and it’s predecessor the Audix TR40. ![]() ![]() ![]() Things don't go better even when I change the the accent articulation to “no playback effect” in Sibelius' dictionary. When I add a stacatto to the accent articulation things are again OK, but the problem persists when I add a tenuto instead of stacatto. The problem is (and I tried everything I guess) that whenever I apply an accent articulation in the score for the string sections (with the exception of the double basses and all the solo strings - those work fine) I have immediately the harm-art staccato cell triggered. I have a strange behavior with Sibelius (7.1.2 on mac osx 10.7.4) and VEP5 with the string section of Vienna SE+ loaded. (for any case my configuration is: iMac, i5 16gb 27inch osx 10.7.4/ macbook pro, i5, 8gb, osx 10.6.8 //softs: Sibelius 7.1.2, Finale 2011, NI Komplete 7, VEP 0, VSE1/2, Spec Keyboards, Harp and some downloaded libraries, Max/MSP 6, EWQL Gold, Ableton Live 8, Cubase 6.5, few Wave plugs - all in 64bit + a PC with Samplitude ProX) I’ll give a try to VSL instruments in Cubase, or even Finale (as I heard, its behaviour is even worst) before I give up using VSL instruments definitely, in a deep hope that something more reliable will soon see the lights of the day.Īll in all, with a substantial experience of working with orchestras (as a performer, composer and sometimes conductor) and a more than a fifteen years of midi and audio programming and engineering, sadly I have to conclude that all this – despite the bombastic announcements and golden promises – is far from realistic and reliable. May be these problems are originally “integrated in Sibelius” (I loose immediately all my hair whenever I have to open and manipulate its awful and awkward mixer – what a horror) I don’t know. And the worst of all, every day when I listen to what was done the day before, there are always “some good news” and the piece never sounds the same (the very same piano dynamic /p/ one day is really loud, another extremely soft articulations often stacked, etc.). Reprogramming all the time the things that are already have been done, for achieving an acceptable and well-balanced dynamics, eats up the most time of my compositional work. With the x-fade control deactivated things are sometimes a bit better, but not much (sometimes not at all). These kinds of variations are endless with other instruments as well. ![]() The result is that the clarinet is inaudible in this combination. ![]() flute, oboe and clarinet plays together - all configured with a very same values – let’s say a held note in pp dynamics and there is a diminuendo line assigned to them the expression fader for flute and oboe starts from 60, and the clarinet value from 20. In the performance tab, whenever I activate velocity x-fade control that is mapped to CC11 (as recommended for the more realistic performance) very curios things happens all the time: e.g. Putting on “auto” in the Sibelius mixer (sometimes it helps for stacked things) doesn’t help at all. Sometimes – never figured out why – when the velocity x-fade is on, the dynamics are stacked and always played on the loudest level (fff) regardless the dynamic mark written in the score, or the softest key pressure on the midi keyboard. Finally I figured out that putting “auto” in Sibelius mixer helps (just in case, if somebody is about a loosing a day figuring out this “unknown pleasure”). Randomly when I use a trill – last time in oboe, but happened with other instruments as well – the trill patch is “stacked” for the rest of the piece, regardless to any articulation changes, the instrument is going to play trills. ![]() But I am not doing any midi scoring in Ableton, all the classical scoring process is done with Sibelius. Sibelius 7.1.2 speaks to this configuration via IAC drivers (far better results here, than loading all the virtual instruments directly in Sibelius). Although I own and use VEP 5, my main software interface is Ableton Live 8 (I load VEP 5 in it as well) as it has additional things I need not found in VEP5. ![]() ![]() Once done click Ok and restart the wallet. Then uncheck “connect through SOCKS5 proxy (default proxy) option. Now in the network window check allow incoming connections if it isn’t unchecked.Open your wallet go to settings > options > network.Note: Before you proceed make sure to update your wallet.dat file which you’ll find in your wallet core directory.

Their issue is quite different the wallet has got enough connections to the network but the wallet still says “no block source available”. We suggested the same to the user but none of the solution mentioned in that article fixed their wallet. For more detailed instructions check this post which explains how to fix wallet not syncing issue. Make sure your firewall is not blocking and your wallet has got enough connections to the network. Possibly your firewall might blocking your wallet from accessing the network. ![]() If your wallet at the bottom left hand corner reads “No block source available” then it is failing to connect to the network. So what causes this error and how to fix this? Upon clicking the status it simply says something like ” Catching up… 120240 out of 285485…Processed.” and it won’t tell you exactly what the problem is. This can happen occasionally where the sync progress bar gets stuck and the status line says “no block source available”. Recently one of our user asked us what to do if the wallet returns “No block source available” error message. By adding nodes you can fix this and if the sync process is too slow you can use bootstrap file to speed up the synchronization. But if there are no active connections then it won’t sync. Once you open your wallet it will connect to the network, find sources and it will start syncing eventually. If you are uncertain you can often check it in block explorer. Your coins are safe and it will show up once your wallet is fully synced. ![]() While your wallet is syncing you may not see your balance and your latest transactions may not be visible. Also it can get quite frustrating if the sync status is weeks behind or months behind. ![]() Whichever coin it if you haven’t opened your wallet in a while then you need to patiently wait for it to completely synchronize. Trying to sync our core wallet can be quite challenging at times and everyone of us might have gone through this stage atleast once. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In December 2015, Google added shared albums to Google Photos. By leaving the social network affiliation, the Photos service changed its association from a sharing platform to a private library platform. Google+ offered photo storage and organizational tools that surpassed Facebook's in power, though Google+ lacked the user base to use it. Google launched the social network to compete with Facebook, but the service never became as popular as Facebook for social networking and photo sharing. Google Photos is the standalone successor to the photo features previously embedded in Google+, the company's social network. Google reports as of 2020, approximately 28 billion photos and videos are uploaded to the service every week, and more than 4 trillion photos are stored in the service total. It reached 100 million users after five months, 200 million after one year, 500 million after two years, and passed the 1 billion user mark in 2019, four years after its initial launch. Google Photos has seen strong user adoption. Nevertheless, privacy concerns were raised, including Google's motivation for building the service, as well as its relationship to governments and possible laws requiring Google to hand over a user's entire photo history. Reviewers praised the updated Photos service for its recognition technology, search, apps, and loading times. Google Photos received critical acclaim after its decoupling from Google+ in 2015. Photos automatically suggested collections based on face, location, trip, or other distinction. In May 2017, Google announced several updates to Google Photos, including reminders for and suggested sharing of photos, shared photo libraries between two users, and physical albums. The computer vision of Google Photos recognizes faces (not only those of humans, but pets as well), grouping similar ones together (this feature is only available in certain countries due to privacy laws) geographic landmarks (such as the Eiffel Tower) and subject matter, including birthdays, buildings, animals, food, and more.ĭifferent forms of machine learning in the Photos service allow recognition of photo contents, automatically generate albums, animate similar photos into quick videos, surface past memories at significant times, and improve the quality of photos and videos. Users can search for anything in photos, with the service returning results from three major categories: People, Places, and Things. ![]() The service automatically analyzes photos, identifying various visual features and subjects. Users can expand their storage through paid Google One subscriptions. Users can upload their photos and videos in either quality setting, original or compressed (photos and videos up to 16 megapixels and 1080p resolution, respectively), that will count towards the free storage tier (compressed items uploaded before June 1, 2021, along with items uploaded via Pixel phones released before that date, are unlimited). Google Photos shares the 15 gigabytes of free storage space with other Google services, such as Google Drive and Gmail. It was announced in May 2015 and spun off from Google+, the company's former social network. Google Photos is a photo sharing and storage service developed by Google.

The player who makes the bid, gets the widow and melds as much cards as they can. Bidding then commences like Classic Pinochle. The fourth set to be dealt is placed faced down to form a “widow”. To begin, 15 cards are dealt to each player in sets of 3 cards. Variations Cut ThroatĬut Throat Pinochle is a 3 person, no-team, version of Classic Pinochle.

In the 19 th century, Pinochle was brought from Europe to America by German immigrants.ĭuring the height of World War 1, Pinochle was temporarily banned in some U. The pinochle combination of the Queen and Jack therefore gives us two eyes. This refers to a myth that the German game was invented from a special deck of cards where the Queen of Spades and Jack of Diamonds were portraited in profile, revealing one eye each. The name literally means “eyeglasses” or “two eyes”. The game of Pinochle originated about 150 years ago and derives from the German game of “Binokle” (or in the French “Binochle”). (Cards from the German game Binokel, the ancestor of Pinochle) If both teams reach 150 points or above in the same round, the team that made the round’s contract wins.Ī free online version of Pinochle may be found here.įor more information on the rules of Pinochle, check out Pagat's article here. The first team to reach 150 points wins the game. If the team that made the contract failed to reach the total points bid, it is called “going set” and the number of points bid is subtracted from the team’s score. Scoringīoth teams add up their total score from the melding and trick taking phases on a scoring board. The following are the possible ways to earn points in the Trick Taking phase: Each Ace, King, and 10 in tricks won is worth 1 point each. Players must also always play a higher card than the previous one played if possible. If they cannot do that also, they may play any card. If they can’t, then they must play a trump card. Going clockwise, players must follow suit of the lead card. The player who made the contract places the first lead card. In this phase, players place cards in the center of the table in hopes to outrank the others and take the trick. Points for each team are recorded on a scoring sheet and the Trick Taking phase begins. In the melding phase, players examine their hand to see if the have any of the following combinations:ĭouble Pinochle- Having two Pinochles is 30 points Points are earned in two phases: The Melding Phase and the Trick Taking Phase. Before gameplay begins, the team that made the contract trades 3 cards between each other. ![]() The bid that makes everyone pass is the contract for the game and the player who made it establishes which suit will be trump. The minimum bid is 20 and every player must either increase a previous bid or pass. Players make bids on how many points they believe their team can make in the round. Once every player has their cards, a round of bidding begins with the player to the left of the dealer and proceeds clockwise. The dealer then passes out 12 cards in sets of 3 clockwise to each of the 4 players. The initial dealer shuffles the deck and the player to their right cuts it. To do so, every player is given a card from a shuffled deck and who ever receives the highest card becomes the first dealer. Set Upīefore the game begins an initial dealer must be chosen.
