It was obvious that the headstock had been badly broken - and split - sometime in the past, and then doweled and glued together - but apparently the bass had suffered another fall that this time smashed the neck joint, though the headstock stayed together. There is no glue holding the pieces together in the lower picture. However, very little of the original wood was actually missing - and the pieces could be put together - kind of like a jigsaw puzzle. ![]() Plus he knows that I'm a big fan of the non-reverse Thunderbirds and Firebirds and I've rebuilt a few of each over the years.ĭavid acquired this poor poor 'bird from our fellow bass freak Joe out in the Chicago area - Joe had acquired it from parts unknown some time ago, but gave up on having it rebuilt and passed the project onto David - who actually simply had Joe send it to me.Īs you can see - the neck of the bass was in several pieces - and the fretboard had been somewhat roughly removed - which dislodged an additional piece of wood lower on the neck. I guess he wanted to challenge me with this project !! This is a project for a client - my friend David from New York, who owns the Guild Starfire Bass I refinished in natural mahogany last year. This is one of the most ambitious rebuild projects I have undertaken yet - perhaps THE most ambitious - and it remains to be seen how it works out in the end. ![]() 6/19/2023 0 Comments 2020 buick encore gx essence![]() ![]() You'll find some models with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors, and an air purifier, in addition to the previous trims' options.
6/19/2023 0 Comments Doubletwist sync errors![]() ![]() doubleTwist Player has over 100,000 five star ratings and a fast, easy-to-use interface that eliminates the need to jump between different apps to play music, manage podcasts, or sync iTunes playlists. Users are encouraged to submit feedback to doubleTwist with any beta issues and requests for specific device support.□ Award winning music & podcast player with over 100 thousand 5-star ratings □ĭoubleTwist is a powerful music player and podcast manager with music sync functionality. DRM is still alive and well, however, when it comes to video, so perhaps doubleTwist still has a healthy future if the company is able to stay on top of new DRM schemes. All four major labels and a significant number of independent music labels have already ditched DRM, and any remnants of it left on various online distributors (including iTunes) are sure to make their way out of the system throughout the year. Index Ventures, which has funded other startups like Skype and last.fm, appears to be thrilled about the partnership, citing doubleTwist as a "simple yet powerful solution for a growing consumer issue."Īctually, we wouldn't exactly say that DRM is a "growing" issue-especially with the looming death of DRM in the music industry. This is why it's even more curious that doubleTwist has already received venture funding, albeit from a European-backed venture capital firm. gorilla in the corner called "file-sharing" that will surely come under legal fire within weeks, if not days. DRM circumvention is not looked upon kindly by the law-specifically, the DMCA prohibits it except in specific cases. Again, doubleTwist promises compatibility with other social networks soon.Ĭonvenience aside, the legality of doubleTwist's venture is questionable. When I tried to use the app, however, it threw me an error (presumably because of heavy traffic). Users can select any number of music or video files (up to 10MB) and upload them through the widget, which will convert them to a sharing-friendly format and send them to selected friends. The second offering is "Twist me!," a Facebook application that lets users share files with their friends on the popular social network. ![]() (Even without direct plug-and-play with the iPod, doubleTwist can still read iTunes playlists and decode protected AAC files for syncing with other devices.) Advertisement Curiously, Apple's iPod is not listed yet, although doubleTwist pledges eventual iPhone compatibility. Supported devices so far include Sony PSP, Nokia N Series, Sony Ericsson, Walkman, and Cybershot phones, LG Viewty, some Windows Mobile smartphones, and the Amazon Kindle. And for those who still like iTunes for media management, doubleTwist can directly integrate with it so that you can continue managing your music there. This means that, if you plug in your device to a Windows XP machine running doubleTwist, it will see any files (DRMed or not), convert them to an DRM-free format if necessary, and allow you to sync those files with another device. From here, you can either sync up doubleTwist with your iTunes library (there is full integration) or share files with other friends who use doubleTwist-there is no file limit, but doubleTwist says that shared video files must be under 10 minutes and audio files under 20 minutes apiece. With the desktop app, you will be able to plug in supported devices and have the software automatically recognize the media files stored on them, then transfer them to the computer and automatically convert the files (if necessary) to something without DRM. The two new offerings start with a beta of doubleTwist desktop, a Windows Vista/XP client (a Mac version is planned for the second quarter of the year). Our goal is to provide a simple and well integrated solution that the average consumer can use to eliminate the headaches associated with their expanding digital universe." It can be an hour-long exercise in futility to convert files to the correct format and transfer them to your Sony PSP or your phone. "With digital media such as video from a friend’s cell phone or your own iTunes playlists, it’s a jungle out there. E-mail just works," said Farantzos in a statement.

Someone who wants everything that you want." I think there's someone better out there for you. It made me realise that we want different things, and I don't wanna change, and I do not want you to change. The date is now April 7th, 2013, which means everyone aboard the plane has travelled back in time to the date they were originally supposed to land.Īll the passengers who died across the past four seasons are alive and well again, except for the eleven who spontaneously combusted in this final episode, including Angelina.Īfter TJ and a young Olive are reunited, Michaela turns down Jared's proposal, saying: With the apocalypse out of commission, Captain Amuta flies the plane straight into the Glow where the doors open and Flight 828 finds itself safely back in New York. "I think we might've just saved the world," says Michaela. After the shadow was vanquished aboard the plane, all the volcanic activity stops completely. While this was all going down, Jared helped Drea deliver her baby and Olive prepared for the end with little Eden by her side. And with that, the shadow suddenly disappears as quickly as it came. Things get even weirder then though because after her death, a shadowy, Grim Reaper-type figure suddenly emerges.īen and Michaela beg for the lives of everyone left on board, arguing that they've all done everything they possibly could to prove they were worthy of this second chance.

Something similar happens when Adrian starts to flare up too. But when Saanvi tells Ben that she's ready to die, she suddenly turns out to be ok. Saanvia tries to reassure everyone that only those who deserve it will die in this way. What might surprise you though is that Paul suddenly implodes into ash, and then others start dying too, just like they would have on Flight 828. It's literally the end of the world outside, so it's understandable that the passengers start to endure more panic attacks. With everyone finally on board, Captain Amuta takes off with the aid of his co-pilot, Michaela Stone. Instead of killing her, or even leaving her to die, Ben carries Angelina on the plane to safety with fire all around, just like the picture foretold. Thankfully, Ben makes the right choice and decides not to shoot Angelina with a shotgun, because Ben is nothing if not sensible. Ben also needs to forgive Angelina, and if not, then all hope is lost. It turns out that this whole journey wasn't just about solving Callings. With that vital new piece of information, Olive calls Ben up with a message: "The only way for you to survive your Death Date is to forgive Angelina." That's when Olive discovers that the picture of Ben carrying her through the fire isn't really Olive at all. The "L" is still hard to figure out, but Al-Zuras owns a journal full of pictures, so Olive reckons the answer could be in there. The "AZ" part of the letters "PIXLAZ" stands for "Al-Zuras," so "PIX" must mean pictures. Meanwhile, Olive figures out that the rock's inscription reads: "Forgiveness lightens the heart".
