![]() The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox matches most of its rivals in terms of standard equipment, but it beats them in well-optioned form. Also, lane departure warning and forward collision alert are newly available for 2012-though they're only offered with the V-6 LTZ. Thankfully, a rear-view camera system is standard on the LT and LTZ models, while all models now (new for 2012) get blind-spot mirrors. Still, the Equinox isn't without its flaws, and three-quarter visibility-or lack thereof-seems to be this crossover's Achilles' heel. The Equinox is a safety champ, named a Top Safety Pick by IIHS and it's earned top four- and five-star results from the federal government. With 182 horsepower, the 2.4-liter four has a smooth idle-albeit with a somewhat clattery direct-injection sound-and is compliant and unobtrusive once underway. You can get a 3.0-liter V-6 in the 2012 Equinox, but we really think you'll be better off with the much more fuel-efficient (and lower-cost) four-cylinder engine. Inside, the cabin has lots of dramatic shapes and a central control panel with vents flanking the radio and climate controls, a styling direction started with Cadillac that has most recently filtered down to Chevy models like the Cruze and Sonic. Its styling grew sportier and sharper versus that of its prior generation, with better proportions as well as many of the cues of the 'new' Chevrolet. ![]() The previous effort, under the same model name, had been half-baked, to be kind, but the current model has top-notch looks, performance and features. The Equinox got a much-needed redesign just two years ago. ![]() It remains a compelling choice for those who need an affordable, comfortable, and well-equipped vehicle that's good for family duty. With handling and fuel economy that are about on par with a mid-size sedan, plus a taller body that brings more space and versatility, the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox takes on Honda's CR-V and Toyota's RAV4 in the compact crossover segment with more room than most of its competitors.

I'm looking for a minimal configuration: no crap like iCloud, iTunes etc. Just the absolute minimum set needed to run the OS. Clearly stuff like 'CloudPhotosConfiguration' is unnecessary bloat. (For reasons we will not go into here it doesn't make much economical sense to upgrade 8 GB RAM + SSD). #Launchcontrol mac keeps crashing upgrade# Question: How do I find out which launch daemons/agents/services I can safely disable on my mid-2010 MBP with 4 GB running Yosemite 10.10?Īctivity Monitor doesn't show any obvious whales, although system memory usage when running Safari > when running Chrome.

Although the aforementioned Launchkey Mini is particularly cool with Novation's iOS app, we kept gravitating back to the Control, because of the Ableton Live templates, and its perfect layout for Logic's Smart Controls. The experience is very smooth and the Novation apps run alongside, and in sync with each other and the other Mini controllers an iPad based set-up with two controllers and both apps running in sync - that's a good thing!įor laptop or iOS musicians this Novation adds that all-important tactile control vibe. Of course, the Control will also function with other MIDI apps, but using it with the Novation apps is a no-brainer. The iPad will happily power a single Mini you can use a mains powered USB hub to connect two at once. To connect to an iPad, you need Apple's Camera Connection Kit. Also the Launchkey and the Launchpad Mini use mini-USB to connect, while the Launch Control uses full-size USB. It's not a huge problem either way, but something to ponder when choosing. Install LaunchControl on Mac OSX JAmber Jain About the App App name: LaunchControl App description: launchcontrol (App: LaunchControl.app) App website: Install the App Press Command+Space and type Terminal and press enter/return key. ![]() The pads on Launch Control's sister model, the Launchkey, are velocity sensitive, but the Control's aren't. One thing that could be confusing is the pads. Logic remembers MIDI assignments across projects, so you only need to set this up once. The Control is a perfect companion for Logic Pro X's Smart Controls - 12 on-screen knobs that take over the currently selected device. "The Control is a perfect companion for Logic Pro X's Smart Controls" There's also a dedicated on-screen editor, which adds further flexibility. With user presets as well, the Control made a great little controller for Live. After configuration in Live's Preferences, the device had immediate control over Live, with three separate templates, covering more detailed mixer functions, sends, clip launching, and device control. ![]() (FreeTheTextbooks might be worth it as it's open signup).īy now you're probably not going to find the book online. ![]() It's not advisable to try to gain access to one for just a few textbooks seeing as most require some sort of effort to look for something that may or may not be there.

Poseidon vanished after he was done and left Medusa vulnerable and weak. Athena ignored Medusa’s plea for help, and Poseidon had his way with Medusa, by raping and impregnating the priestess on the steps of Athena’s temple. Medusa feared for her life and ran into Athena’s temple hoping Athena would protect her. Eventually Poseidon grew tired of being rejected by Medusa and decided that he would take her by force. Poseidon had a conflict with Athena and he saw Medusa as a possession that he could take from the goddess. Medusa rejected Poseidon, because if she wished to remain the priestess of Athena’s temple, she must remain a virgin. Poseidon (The god of the sea) lusted for Medusa and was infatuated by her beauty. It wasn’t long before Athena’s jealousy of Medusa became obvious. Medusa was stunningly beautiful with luscious hair and was often compared to Athena’s beauty. One requirement to be a priestess for Athena is that the young woman must be a virgin and give her life to the goddess. Medusa was a priestess to the goddess Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom and battle. Transformed into a vicious monster with snakes for hair, she was killed by Perseus, who used her still potent head as a weapon, before gifting it to Athena. Her name meant “guardian” and “protectress” and Her story shows the potential cruelty that the Greek gods can have. ![]() Medusa was not always considered a monster, in fact she was a mortal who was very well known for her stunning beauty until she felt the wrath of Athena, either due to her boastfulness of her beauty or because of an ill-fated love affair with Poseidon. Ovid especially praises the glory of her hair, “most wonderful of all her charms.” Medusa – the only mortal among the Gorgon sisters – was also distinguished from them by the fact that she alone was born with a beautiful face. Medusa was one of the three Gorgon sisters, daughters of the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto. Generally described as a winged human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. It was said that men who gazed upon her eyes would turn to stone instantly. ![]() Medusa is one of the most well known and talked about beings from ancient Greek mythology that we have ever heard of. Hunted by many warriors that wished to claim the prize of her head, many tried, and many have failed. Or you can visit the MacPaw website here.

MC: I know you've gotten a number of comments from fans over the years about how your lyrics have impacted them in such a positive and profound way, whether that was off of Awaken the Guardian or songs like "Incense and Myrrh" from Sympathetic Resonance. Having said that the early indicators are that the fans are really digging it and that makes me very happy and relieved. Of course the way I approach things with my Type A personality before I even start something like writing another album there is always that looming question in the back of your mind, "Are we going to be able to pull something off? Are Jim and I going to be able to have the creative chemistry between us?" We never take anything for granted. And my feelings about that is I'm very excited. But having said that the majority, 99 percent of what I have seen so far, with "Wanderlust" being released as audio only and "Straight and Narrow" being the first video it has been really, really good across the board. Everything I have seen so far - there is always going to be folks who aren't even into this type of music and their name will be something like "deathdoom" on their post, and so there are going to be some disparaging comments and there are going to be some mediocre comments that have absolutely nothing to do with music. Coming right out of the gate with a video I thought was a great idea - and on a side note I think it is great the Metal Blade family is standing behind us with the Arch/Matheos project and really going the extra mile and making a financial commitment, with their time and everything. ![]() But as your curiosity peaks you're always curious as to what the reaction is going to be from the fans. JA: I said to myself that I would try to stay away from social media to see the reaction and just let it be. What's your perspective on the public's reception thus far and how does that land on you? The feedback I've seen so far has been extremely positive. MC: You all have released three singles so far from the record, "Straight and Narrow", "Wanderlust", and "Tethered". ![]() I know you have a lot of commitments at this juncture and I am grateful you agreed to spend some of it with me talking about the May 10 release of the new Arch/Matheos record Winter Ethereal. Mark Cubbedge: John you are always very generous with your time and I want to thank you for that. "Sometimes in the studio when I am singing something spontaneous happens or when you are actually at your most relaxed state something natural happens that is better than what you had originally." Photographer and writer Mark Cubbedge had a chance to speak with John for Maximum Metal about why he continues to produce music as he nears his 60th birthday, the songwriting process, and his inspiration and back story to writing Winter Ethereal. On his last three releases, his solo ep A Twist of Fate followed by Arch/Matheos' debut Sympathetic Resonance and new release Winter Ethereal, he has used more real-life experiences and emotions to connect with the listener. On the genre-defining Awaken the Guardian release in 1986 this was done through mythological references and metaphors. John Arch, founding member of the pioneering progressive metal band Fates Warning, has a well-earned reputation for his distictive vocal sound and range along with complex and thought-provoking lyrics. ![]() The security dashboard digs through your password storage to find any weak, old or reused passwords, combining them to generate an overall security score.
