![]() She said they should be allowed to dry between waterings to avoid disease-causing fungi. Hartin said that July will be the highest water-demanding month and that it will be important to deep water these plants. It’s already getting a lot warmer and there are some indications that it could be an average or slightly warmer than average summer, according to Ezcurra.įor trees, he said, that may not mean much yet because there’s still lots of water in deeper layers of soil, but annual plants with shallow root systems will soon need supplemental water from a sprinkler system if they’re not already getting it.Īs the summer progresses, shrubs and trees will start drawing from those lower soil moisture levels. Be aware that your plants will still be thirsty Hartin said gardeners who want to plant a tree should do so in the next two to three weeks, or wait until fall when the weather has begun to cool.Ĥ. They should have about 15 feet of space around where they want to plant the tree, and Hartin recommends climate-resilient species such as desert willows, mesquites and chaste trees. Hartin said she always recommends that people take a look at their yards and consider whether they have space for a tree because of the cooling effects trees have on urban heat islands. It may not only be a good time to plant summer veggies, but also trees. “Just water them because now that we’re getting the heat coming in they will grow and develop,” he said. If those things haven’t been planted yet, they can be planted now.įor those who have planted summer vegetables already and find that they’re a little lackluster, Ezcurra’s advice is to wait. The corn, which would normally be ready by June, is less than two feet tall.īut Ezcurra said there’s still plenty of time to grow summer veggies. He said those things, planted in late February, have not taken off like they normally do. He used the example of a garden that he maintains with his wife that has corn, beans and squash in it. Some spring and summertime veggies may be stunted, too, according to Ezcurra. Even native plants such as the Southern California flannelbush are making blooms later than normal.Įzcurra said that if a tree or shrub that blooms typically around this time of year hasn’t yet, it likely will – just a little later than usual. He said evidence of the cooler weather is visible in trees that are tropical in origin: Trees such as jacarandas, tipuanas and coral trees are not forming blooms as early as they normally do. Don’t be daunted by late blooms or stunted plantsĮxequiel Ezcurra, a professor of Ecology at the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at UC Riverside, said this spring was not only anomalous for all the rain we received but also for the cooler temperatures that persisted through late April and early May. These services are available in all Southern California counties.Ģ. ![]() ![]() Lastly, the University of California Master Gardener volunteers are available to answer questions through free email and phone helplines. This may be a good option for people who have prized trees that are older or larger, Hartin said. The International Society of Arboriculture has a list of certified arborists that can provide expert help with tree problems. Users can search by plant name, type or symptoms. ![]() The University of California Integrated Pest Management Plant Problem Diagnostic tool can help gardeners figure out what’s wrong with their edible and landscape plants. Gardeners who need help diagnosing a pest or disease problem have some options at their fingertips, Hartin said. “The plants have better protection because they’re already healthier,” she said. In other recent years, trees and shrubs were weakened going into spring and summer because of drought conditions, but that’s not the case this year. Hartin said keeping plants healthy and well-cared for will help to stave off disease.īut disease may not even be that much of an issue, Hartin said. In addition to the weeds, there may be more invasive insect and disease pressures that gardeners have to contend with.

The two microphones are then mixed with the top microphone twice as loud as the lower one. distance, the other looking at the soundboard horizontally, from about the same distance. One from right behind the harp, facing the Soundboard from about 20 in. Experiment, slightly moving behind the harp, pointing downwards from the right essentially opposite the player’s head, just a little higher.Īnother good placement for Orchestra and Live play have been reported by using 2 Dynamic cardioid microphones with a tighter smaller field. If this effect is not wanted then different positions can be tried. As a side effect, it will often transport the Harp slightly to the foreground of the orchestral sound image. This placement will bring out the higher frequency aspects of the harp without sounding too boomy. The microphone should be moved further away from the harp if there is room for the player given the space he or she is in. The Most Popular Placement -A very good placement and a starting point is an area around the top of the Harp’s Pillar, with the microphone capsule pointing down towards the soundboard of the Harp. So when you pluck a string the vibration travels down the string to the base and through the holes in the bridge and hits the Soundboard and projects outward. Then, in turn, the soundboard causes the air within the volume enclosed in the soundbox to vibrate, acoustically amplifying the sound produced by the vibrating strings. It’s caused to vibrate by the vibrating strings that are firmly fastened to it. The soundboard is usually made of Sitka spruce that is the same wood used in piano soundboards. Several of the parts of the Harp help to make it’s sound loud enough to be heard throughout a room or concert hall. There is a Bridge that attaches and is fixed at the base of strings and connects the vibration of the strings to the Soundboard of the Harp. So be sure to set up the position while the player is actually playing at the instrument, otherwise, you may find your placement to be quite different and wrong lacking sound. The instrument tips quite significantly when the player performs. Generally around 20 inches from the instrument. Harps like other strings sound just fine with small diaphragms. 20 inches is pushing it but should do it, but should be sufficient room. If you get too close, you run the risk of getting in the player’s way. This tension keeps everything taught in front of the Harp.Ĭoncert harps are large instruments. On the other side of the post, the string is attached and tied to a post. They then run down the length of the Harp and are inserted into small holes on the Soundboard. ![]() A Harps is a stringed instrument where the strings attach to the top or neck of the Harp. ![]() To understand how to properly mic a Harp if you have to know how a Harp creates a sound. Used in Orchestras around the world and by Soloist, they are a beautiful sounding ancient instrument that demand to be played and presented the right way. Harps normally stand between two and six feet (60 to 180 cm) in height and have between 22 and 47 strings. Harps are beautiful instruments to the eye and often remind viewers of the instruments angels allegedly like to play in heaven. ![]() In Egypt as far back as 1500 BC and may have been present in Mesopotamia which is Iraq as far back as 2500 BC. With the right Microphone and Placement, the beauty of the Harp can be realized and enhanced but without these two, well-known ingredients, the wide array of frequencies it can produce will be muddied and left behind. Or about 2 feet back from the center of the strings 20 inches from the Pillar pointing down towards soundboard or Slightly behind the Harp, pointing down.ġ Mic Mono Recording large-diaphragm condenser placed just above the soundboard. That detail may have been placed there to create suspense, but it mostly just felt strange that her mother would write it down rather than speak it aloud.Īs for the main action of the episode, the Battle of the Alamo was well done and a wonderful spectacle. Fortunately, Lucy hasn’t had to push too hard for information on her real father, but it was oddly frustrating to end the episode with only a piece of paper with a name written on it. Lucy took a rare back seat this week but got her own emotional moment with her mother, who doesn’t like the toll her job at Mason is taking on her daughter. His eureka moment in using the grenades was a little obvious, but it’s still nice to see him win the day. With a quick nod to slavery being outlawed in Mexico (nice touch!) Rufus was able to hone in on the aqueducts as an escape route, giving his character something useful and noble to pursue. ![]() It’s refreshing to see Rufus take such a key role in figuring out solutions that Lucy’s historical knowledge or Wyatt’s military might can’t uncover. Rufus and Lucy’s insistence on keeping the soldier that they’d grown to trust was successful way too easily, to be honest, but it created further bonding for a group of leads whose chemistry has really carried the show. He has been pretty hard on himself on that score in previous episodes, so his acquiescence felt right. It was a nice change of pace to see someone like Wyatt perfectly willing to give up his spot due to his failure to take out Flynn. This is especially true given his replacement waiting back home. As foolish as it would be to stay with the doomed Texans, his reluctance to leave was understandable. Although his memories were a little shoehorned in, they did provide a nice parallel to the situation at the Alamo, especially when he had to follow Lucy and Wyatt through the aqueducts to return home. On the other hand, humanizing him through his appeal to Santa Anna to spare the women and children went a long way towards smoothing over his mission flaws.Īnd speaking of humanizing, Wyatt took center stage by being reminded of a similar military encounter he undertook in modern times, bringing his guilt to the surface over having abandoned his men. From a narrative standpoint, this makes sense, since Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus have to put things right again, but the character is weakened by his own oversights, such as taking out Colonel Travis but not Bowie or Crockett. The biggest problem with Flynn that’s beginning to emerge is that he chooses great targets, is brutally efficient, and yet doesn’t always follow through. The characters of James Bowie and Davey Crockett were particularly well-portrayed, deftly avoiding the danger of creating caricatures. Timeless has really set the bar high with its immersive historical settings, which must cost a fortune in set design and costuming, and the backdrop was completely believable. ![]() As a rallying cry of patriotism, they don’t get much more important than this key battle in the Texas Revolution. ![]() That being said, the Alamo was a great place for Flynn to try and derail the rise of America and, by extension, Rittenhouse. It’s not a worrisome circumstance - in fact, it was expected - but it dulls the blade a little as this popular new show clears away the brush of its competition. ![]() Some conflicts and character moments were resolved a bit too patly even with the solid story foundation and strong chemistry the cast has built up very early in the season. For the first time since the season began, Timeless focused almost solely on the historical event in which it was set, and although “The Alamo” was still entertaining, the “time period of the week” syndrome has now revealed itself, which may be a problem if it repeats too often.

For the first couple components, I was trying to desolder and remove the whole component. Although, I used a wick for clean up in a couple places. I used a solder sucker as it seemed to be faster than a wick. Having a rework station would have made things much, much easier, but I wasn’t going to invest in one just for this project. But, once I got the hang of it, things moved along quite quickly. When I first popped the cover off this EQ, I was a little concerned about the number of components I would need to desolder. I also labeled each of the wires attached to the board before removing them. Before doing so, I took several pictures. The board needed to be removed from the enclosure. The Repair: Before getting started, I double checked the parts I had received against the parts list.I was able to source most of the parts from Digikey, but used Mouser for the parts that were out of stock. In those cases, I went with what was soldered to the board. There were a couple minor discrepancies between the schematic and the board. I took a similar tack with the capacitors in that I replaced with higher voltage ratings and lower tolerances in some cases. Per the KF7LZE post, I went with higher wattage resistors and in many cases, lower tolerances. There are a few ceramic capacitors, transistors and other parts that I didn’t bother to replace. Only the resistors and most of the capacitors. Note that I didn’t replace everything on the board. Ordering Parts: Using the schematic (PDF) and the actual board as a cross reference, I made a list (CSV) of all the components I would need to order.I was slightly concerned about by ability to execute, but I was reminded that the EQ didn’t work anyway–no matter what I did, it wasn’t going be any worse. Based on KF7LZE’s blog post, I was confident that, if executed properly, this repair would work. The before and after pictures appear below and there is a parts list in the resources section at the end. I’m happy to report that the repair was a success and, while I haven’t heard for myself yet, I’ve been told that it sounds “awesome” it sounds pretty awesome. He found this post on KF7LZE’s Blog about replacing the old resistors and capacitors to bring the old equalizer back to life and suggested that I give it a go. One of his EQs worked well, but the other, not so much. These speakers were designed to be used with an active equalizer without it, the sound quality is quite poor. BackgroundĪ friend got sort of a two-for-one deal on some vintage Bose 901 speakers. In this project, a non-functional Bose 901 Equalizer is repaired by replacing the old resistors and capacitors with modern parts. Over the years, vintage audio components can begin to fail due to the age of their electronics. I’m flattered, but I’m not an electronics pro, so I can’t repair other people’s gear. Update : Several people have contacted me asking if I could repair their equalizers or other equipment. ![]() The press repeatedly reported that Bob was unmarried to preserve his "image." But Rita kept her self-respect, and when Bob succumbed to cancer in 1981, she was at his side. There were his liaisons with other women-some of which produced children and were conducted under Rita's roof. But while Rita displayed blazing courage, joy, and an indisputable devotion to her husband, life with Bob was not easy. The rest is Bob Marley and the Wailers set Jamaica and the world on fire. At the ages of 21 and 19, Bob and Rita were married. Bob and Rita became close friends, fell in love, and soon, she and her girlfriends were singing backup for the Wailers. By the age of 18, Rita was an unwed mother, and it was then that she met Bob Marley at a recording studio in Trench Town. Music ran in Rita's family, and even as a child her talent for singing was pronounced. Abandoned by her mother at a very young age, she was raised by her aunt. Rita Marley grew up in the slums of Trench Town, Jamaica.

He became an proponent of Rastafari, taking its music out of the socially deprived areas of Jamaica, and onto an international audience. His most famous children include singer Ziggy Marley (pictured, who recorded the theme tune to kids' TV show 'Arthur'), musician Stephen Marley, footballer Rohan Marley, singer Julian Marley and reggae artist Damian Marley.īob Marley was a member of the Rastafari movement, whose culture was a key element in the growth of reggae. His official website acknowledges 11 children. The attempt on his life was thought to have been political, as many felt the concert was supporting Manley.īob Marley married Alpharita Constantia 'Rita' Anderson in Kingston, Jamaica, on February 10, 1966.īob Marley had many children: four with wife Rita, two adopted from Rita's previous relationships, and several others with different women. Bob Marley received minor wounds in the chest and arm. Taylor and Marley's wife had serious injuries, but made full recoveries. On December 3, 1976, two days before a free concert organised by the Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley to ease tension between two fighting political groups, Marley, his wife, and manager Don Taylor were wounded by unknown gunmen inside Marley's home. While he was flying from Germany to Jamaica, his condition worsened.Īfter landing in Miami, he died on May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. In 1980, the cancer had spread throughout his body. Marley turned down his doctors' advice to have his toe amputated due to his religious beliefs, and the nail and nail bed were removed and a skin graft taken from his thigh as a cover. In July 1977, Marley was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma under the nail of a toe. Singer Joe Higgs took Marley under his wing, teaching him how to play the guitar. Soon after, he was in a vocal group with Wailer, Peter Tosh, Beverley Kelso and Junior Braithwaite. They had started to play music together while at Stepney Primary and Junior High School. His mother went on to marry Edward Booker, an American civil servant, giving Bob two American brothers.īob Marley and Neville Livingston (later Bunny Wailer) had been childhood friends in Nine Mile. In 1955, when Bob was 10, his father died of a heart attack at the age of 70. Bob Marley's full name is Robert Nesta Marley.

There is also the even trickier business of installing a clean copy of an older version of macOS on your Mac (Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Mojave, Yosemite or an even old version of OS X). Not only are there three different methods (which we’ll run through below) the methods depend on the version of macOS that you are running.

The F-150 Lighting also comes with a smart-hitch assist feature, useful for people who intend to use the truck as an actual truck and do some towing. It also comes with an infrared camera that monitors whether the driver is looking at the road or not, so you won't be able to get away with napping in the back seat while the truck drives itself. BlueCruise can control steering and acceleration and doesn't require the driver to keep their hands on the wheel. The F-150 Lightning comes with Ford's BlueCruise, which is also coming to the Mustang Mach-E later this year. Tesla says these features require you to keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road. The FSD add-on means the car will navigate for you on the highway, automatically change lanes, stop at traffic lights and stop signs, park itself and respond to your summons. President Joe Biden guessed it was around 4.3 seconds, which would fit, though a Ford spokesperson wouldn’t confirm or deny. We don't know how quickly the Ford F-150 Lighting can do 0-60, but Ford has said it's somewhere in the mid-4 second mark. ![]() Towing capacity levels out at 10,000 lbs. The dual-motor and single-motor models don't fare quite so well (naturally), with the 0-60 time dropping to 4.5 seconds and 6.5 seconds, respectively. Tesla has been bragging about the Cybertruck's' capabilities, promising that the tri-motor model can pull 14,000 lbs. Tesla Cybertruck vs Ford F-150 Lightning: 0-60 and towing While it's confirmed that the Cybertruck's display will have a customized user interface, we assume that it will still be familiar to owners of other Tesla vehicles. There's a lot we still don't know about the specifics, although Tesla tends to offer the same interior experience across all its cars. ![]() But you still get the classic Tesla features, including the yoke-shaped steering wheel, the 17-inch touchscreen display, and the glass roof. Obviously there's no escaping the angular roof, and that straight-edged Cyberpunk-esque design has been added to things like the seats and the dash. You don't want the F-150 Lightning to flop like ‘New Coke’, especially not when the rest of the auto industry moves towards electrification. Ford CEO Jim Farley likened the F-150 to Coca-Cola, which is pretty apt if you ask us. There are some differences on the front end, particularly since there's no need to have a grille on an electric car, but it's clear at a glance that all the F-150s are very closely related.Ĭonsidering that the Ford F-series trucks have been North America's best-selling passenger vehicles for decades, it's crucial that Ford keeps that momentum going. The main selling point for the F-150 Lightning is that the truck is almost identical to its gasoline-powered and hybrid counterparts. A quad motor model has also been promised, though we know very little about it at the moment. Previously we were told the top-tier Cybertruck was the $69,900 tri-motor model, though that does come with extra hardware and features, including significantly more range (500+ vs Ford's 300) and a third motor for better performance. The XLT and Lariat also come with extended range options, costing a respective $72,474 and $77,474. The F-150 Lighting is a lot more similar to the dual-motor Cybertruck, which was previously listed at $49,900 - $10,000 more.įord also sells three additional F-150 Lightning models, with the XLT coming in at $52,974, Lariat starting at $67,474, and the $90,874 Platinum that promises to let you "have it all". That's $74 more expensive than the $39,900 you'd pay for a single-motor Cybertruck, but by saving that meager amount you'd be losing out on quite a lot. The entry level F-150 Lightning, which comes with two motors and all-wheel drive, starts at $39,974. |
