Hi No-One,
I recently pruchased a Roland SP-555 sampler and it does exactly what you are wanting.
It has an active loop capture feature, which allows you to record a loop continue adding to it on the fly. You can save the loop at any point to any of the pads on the device. Then you can play them back by hitting the pads. Or you could sample your guitar parts in, then play your drums and bass parts by hitting the pads that you've previously loaded up with appropriate sounds, then sample that and so on. It has many cool effects built in to help you slice and dice the loops and sounds up and syncs well with other PC software (Fruity, Ableton, Cubase etc).
Check out the sample vids on youtube, it impresses easily. Cost me $800 second hand, so it's not cheap but its fun fun fun (til your daddy takes your t-bird away)
Good luck
Hooroo for now

Well we have no idea about the conditions the child was living in and as far as im concerned a house with that many plants under lights is not really a home or a place for a child. Yes its only a plant and the kid would have little idea about what is really going on with all them plants but regardless of legalities i wouldnt want to raise children in a house full of hyge or a micro brewery. No doubt there would be more going on around the child than just growing plants or perhaps the parents were resposible enough to keep the kid away from all things drugs but someone growin a heap of weed and stealing the power to do so doesnt strike me as a responsible parent. Children have a right to innocence and the parents, police and the laws that be have taken that right away from the child in question imo, the parents being most at blame because surely they knew the risks of getting busted and havin the kid taken. I mean what is more important, growing a house full of "innocent" plants or getting to raise your child? and with the current situation that is a choice that has to be made until the laws change if they ever do, even then there is a better place to do such things than at the family home. Luckily the child is only 3 months old and wont remember anything of it, lets just hope the fuckwit parents realise what they have lost and get their shit together so in the eyes of the law they are fit to raise a child, after all that is the law no matter how much we dislike it or want it to change. Yeh weed is harmless and all that but an operation of that size has alot more goin on than just a few harmless plants and an innocent smoke here and there.spot on mate, beat me to it (just)

Whilst I don't condone the actions of the cops or the laws being enforced, they were taking a pretty big risk.
173 plants is pretty serious legal hot water, not to mention all kinds of potential seedy activity surrounding such a business.
What did they expect would happen if the place was busted? It's gonna look bad no matter how it's written.

WTF? This happened like 5 years ago?WTF? Flying some bimbo all the way to Holland just so he could kiss her in Anne Frank's old attic? It wasn't even funny. Didn't think aunty would be so loose with the purse strings, especially for something so utterly lame.
I toally agree, it's becoming less about the message with him and more about his shock jock ego. Saw the one where he flew to Israel to have a palestinian mate sneakily jerk off into a test tube at a sperm doner bank.... it was another long and expensive way to go to make a weak point/joke. Musical Jambouree & vs God were very good IMO, but I think this format's had it's day. Same with the mockumentary style movies like Bruno where they have to go to extremes to impress an otherwise bored audience.

IME in the cold hearted light of reality in this society, the polyamorous path is a lonely and difficult one. Perhaps this was a result of my environment and personality (set and setting
Our society really is geared up for couples to live and prosper, ie settle down and build lives together, get a mortgage, possibly have kids, travel, share experiences etc. Given this, if there is no longer term plan accompanying the relationship it fails to have a purpose beyond the immediate. It's much harder to 'settle down' with multiple lovers, attend family events and social gatherings, have a family of your own, make long term plans for the future, etc. And it's also very hard to shun society but still take what you need from it to get by - ie: a job, friends, family etc.
It's also hard to find other people who genuinely believe in free and open love. Even if you are so lucky, issues of jealousy and loneliness can still play a part, not to mention all the typical failings of 'normal' relationships. When issues do crop up, they are less likely to be dealt with properly, because it's not as vital as it is in a long-term continuous relationship.
I have arrived at the point where I'm married now and we based it on a philosophy that the marriage does not prevent either of us from experiencing anything we may want to, provided that the new experiences don't alter our love for each other and the want to be in the relationship. Being with someone else who is sympathetic to the 'natural' longings and desires to be with others (not just sexually) and allowing it to happen occasionally, (but at the end of the day, still being committed to that relationship above any others, ie: 'open' relationship) is the closest I could get. We tell the potential new people that we're married up front which more often kills the mood, but occasionly find someone who agrees with the situation. However - it's too often just about the sex, which is really not fulfilling enough (for me).
Incidentally we also tried swinging, orgies, partner-swaps, 3somes, 4-somes etc (I've had a good run really
I still dream about a truly open and free-lovin community, but I don't think I'll see it in this lifetime. It's great to talk about though, and I do see enormous parallel with the whole psychedelic thing. I just think it's too hard to make it fit long-term in this reality.

In book, Agassi admits using crystal meth
NEW YORK (AP) — Andre Agassi's upcoming autobiography contains an admission that he used crystal meth in 1997, the year he dropped to No. 141 in the rankings.
In a story posted on People magazine's Web site Tuesday, Agassi says: "I can't speak to addiction, but a lot of people would say that if you're using anything as an escape, you have a problem."
Excerpts from the book are being printed this week by People and Sports Illustrated. A writer from SI first revealed the crystal meth reference on a Twitter posting Tuesday.
"The tweet from SI that posted earlier today which tipped to one of the revelations in the book — Agassi's use of crystal meth in 1997 — was accurate," Knopf spokesman Paul Bogaards told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday.
In the posting on People's Web site, Agassi says he "was worried for a moment, but not for long," about how fans would react if they found out he used drugs.
"I wore my heart on my sleeve and my emotions were always written on my face. I was actually excited about telling the world the whole story," Agassi says.
Among the most successful — and, without a doubt, one of the most popular — tennis players in history, Agassi won eight Grand Slam singles titles before retiring in 2006. He drew attention not just for his play, but also for his outfits, his hairstyles and his relationships with women.
Agassi's first major championship came at Wimbledon in 1992, and he won a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. But by late 1997, Agassi dropped out of the top 100 in the rankings, and he was playing in tennis' equivalent of the minor leagues.
He resuscitated his career in 1998, making the biggest one-year jump into the top 10 in the history of the ATP rankings. The next season, he won the French Open to complete a career Grand Slam, then added a second career U.S. Open title en route to finishing 1999 at No. 1.
Knopf is publishing the book Nov. 9.

Agassi admits drug use
(UKPA) – 24 minutes ago
Eight-time grand slam winner Andre Agassi has admitted in a new book that he lied to tennis authorities about his use of crystal methamphetamine in order to escape a ban.
Agassi has revealed his use of the substance in his new autobiography 'Open' and that he received a call from a doctor working for the Association of Tennis players (ATP) in the autumn of 1997 to inform him that he had failed a drug test.
"My name, my career, everything is now on the line. Whatever I've achieved, whatever I've worked for, might soon mean nothing," Agassi wrote in his autobiography which is being serialised by The Times. "Days later I sit in a hard-backed chair, a legal pad in my lap, and write a letter to the ATP. It's filled with lies interwoven with bits of truth."
He added: "I say Slim, whom I've since fired, is a known drug user, and that he often spikes his sodas with meth -- which is true. Then I come to the central lie of the letter.
"I say that recently I drank accidentally from one of Slim's spiked sodas, unwittingly ingesting his drugs. I ask for understanding and leniency and hastily sign it: Sincerely.
"I feel ashamed, of course. I promise myself that this lie is the end of it."
That year was the American's worst on tour as he failed to win a title and missed the Australian and French Opens as well as Wimbledon - and at one point had fallen to 141 in the world rankings.
The 39-year-old also recounted being introduced to the drug while sitting at his home with Slim.
"Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I've just crossed," Agassi wrote.
"There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I've never felt so alive, so hopeful -- and I've never felt such energy."

Yep, I can personally vouch that the Katamari games are a lot of fun.... and sprinkled with tryptamime-like creativity. I've got Beautiful Katamri for the 360 and have played other versions on the ps2. The idea of having to 'roll up' these katamri balls to literally save the cosmos had me chuckling many times. It get really intense as you desperately try and roll up one big enough in time - if you fail you find youself running from billiard balls on a giant pool table!? Sometimes there is so much activity happening onscreen that it is delightfully overwhelming. It was a nice relief to see game designers being this creative. Though I'd agree that the game doesn't quite keep you interested for long enough to make it a classic...
Fun to play at 4:20

the stuff that isn't free at all except that you are stealing it is often superior.couldn't agree more - there's a lot of interesting free stuff out there but the good commercial grade stuff usually sounds better on the whole
One virtual modular synth that really impressed me is Vaz Modular. It's fairly intuitive to use and can be used as a vst plugin inside a sequencer host or stand-alone, has it's own effects (which can process external inputs), has it's own sequencer and sounds rich, phat, fantastic. It's a small enough download, should be available on torrents here and there. Seems like it went into some kind of maintenance phase several years ago and hasn't been maintained since, but is still stable enough to rely on.
How to pass a lie detector test

Believe the lies you are telling. Convince yourself over and over that they are the truth until you know them better than your memory of the truth itself - until you automtically respond with the lies when the questions are posed to you. You will still fail questions you haven't prepared for, but if you can anticipate the questionning well enough and fool yourself into believing your alternate story, you will pass enough of the big questions.
