Hey George,
Why for you sell? Does your new system transport itself from gig to gig?
Does SLS stand for Self Levitating Speakers? ;-)

On the serious side, send me a pic or two and or give me a call soon. I
may be interested by around January.
Squeaky

P.S. I noticed the maintenance list did not include new shocks. Is that
where the ones on the minivan went? ;-)

Quite silly. Check out Mercedes ads occasionally- some of there trucks are
on their tenth engine at 3 million miles. My Toyota box- like the ones
U-haul rents- is still fine at 242,000 miles. My Ford is at 200,000. Both
are "proper vehicles."

A truck's price is based on condition not mileage. Pro equipment {such as
trucks} is continuously rebuildable.

Finally I don't see a problem with any regular contributor posting something
another regular might need to do a gig. Where are you when these idiots are
cross posting their Ebay auctions to many groups- many of which are
recording equipment. And none of them offer any help or input here.

This isn't a for sale group at all it is a discussion group- but again I
don't see any occasional ad from a regular as a problem.

I've always wondered this: why 2 mic's? Are they both going to the same
place? For stereo? Or maybe so when he turns his head slightly, he'll

Anyway, that's a model that's never been sold officially over here, so it

It's called a thread. Things on usenet often veer away on a tangent to
the original topic. If you really must know, George (the guy selling the
truck) is one of Dubya's sound contractors. Try reading all the posts in
a thread next time but please learn to format your posts properly first.

Having done upwards of a few hundred presidentials, I thought I'd chime
in. Depending on the event, the crew, and their trust in the PA company,
White House Communications Agency or WHCA, (commonly pronounced Wha'-ka)
Will do different set ups. IME, The most common is as follows...

mic 1 ---> WHCA __/--> WHCA record
Mixer \--> Press Mult boxes

mic 2 ---> splitter (dir) ---> WHCA Backup line
(iso) ---> PA feed

They don't care as much what goes to the PA because the S/N in the room
tends to mask accidental off-line comments like 'Yeah, that guys a major
league asshole!' It's the press mults they're truly concerned with.

That said, I've had them insist I take a feed from their Shure M267
mixer after they've run it into the limiter by 20dB and expect me to be
able to amplify it. I've also had them throw me two XLR's at the base of
the podium a.k.a. Blue Goose) then asked me for a record feed for their
cassette recorder. Every WHCA experience is new and exciting! ;-)

The thing to remember about WHCA is that they're Naval Communications
officers serving their tour of duty. They are not event production staff
or Audio Engineers with 10 to 20 years experience in live sound
reinforcement. They'll often do this for a few years then get assigned
to a nuclear sub doing radio encryption or something similar. WHCA is a
military organization. They usually function pretty well, but don't
always have the expertise to make on the spot decisions. When they don't
know, they tend to follow procedure and do what their C.O. told them to.
It can be quite the political dance to make the show go smoothly.

Slow and painful pay? You ever do any work for Livent Inc.? THAT would

I believe this was speaking of the amount of import goods comming from
Mexico comparred to those from China and other overseas countries...
remember Shure mics are made in Mexico as with lots of sound gear and all
sorts of other goods that we here in the states use....

and as with what I constantly tell my girlfriend after she gets pissed off
at something I said that should of not been taken as a negative comment I
have to explain that as with all things in life (and like that of an
equalizer) there is a positive ( in the words of Bush "succeed" on a EQ + )
a negative ( in the words of Bush "fail" on a EQ - ) and a neutral (which is
representated on a EQ as 0 attenuation) meaning nothing has happened in a
positive or negative direction...and in reference to Bush's comments he was
simply saying that in the case that we dont succeed we havent not just
stayed where we started but have lost/failed/gone backwards... basically
saying it is a win or loose situation... here is an analogy for ya...

Put a mixer up for sale on E-Bay it sells before the auction closes... you
win!
Put a mixer up for sale on E-Bay it doesnt sell the auction closes...
nothing has happened you still have a mixer
Some one hears you have a mixer for sale comes by your house/shop/club
writes you a Bad check and skips town... you loose!!!

...got it!!!

so before you start trying to make the guy out to be a total dumb ass think
a step further about what he is saying...

to most people that would be a funny photo... however have you ever used or
looked thru night vision binoculars????

ever done it during the day or in a bright room???? with night vision scopes
you need caps covering the lenses with a small hole in them (approx 1/64th
of an inch) to allow you to see out...

he's not stupid... your just ignorant to what is actually happening in this
photo...

He is,stupid dangerous and arrogent . a really bad combination for the
leader of the largest stockpile of

He also has his familys pride to try to "recapture" after Saddam thumbed his

actually Libertarian (almost Republican I Vote Rep for certain offices that
I know I would be throwing away a vote)

I don't think he was using the things for any purpose other than seeing what
they do... silly... why would the pres *need* to use night vision... it was
clearly a demonstration type situation.... hell for that matter the 3 times
I have looked thru those things was indoors in a well lit room that had the
same type caps on the lenses, just so I could see what they do...does that
mean I am a stupid ass????

its funny how so many people try to *dig* for stuff to "make" someone
