Vinyl Record Machine

How did you discover your favorite bands?

What are the most interesting?

These are mine.

Beastie Boys- my brother gave me a crate of CDs to sell on eBay, which included a copy of Hello Nasty and Ill Communication

Anal C*nt- Same with the Beastie Boys, he had a copy of I Like It When You Die

Alice In Chains- I found a cassette copy of Dirt while digging a foundation for a pool house. It was a foot and a half deep. It worked for about two weeks.

Misfits- On the side of the road I found a vinyl copy of Walk Among Us, all scratched up and cracked, as if it fell out of a car. The only songs that worked were Hatebreeders and Skulls, and half of Astro Zombies.

Suicidal Tendencies- I heard in a Cypress Hill song the line “all I wanted was a Pepsi”, so I looked it up.

AFI- I was at a record shop (this was a few years ago), and I found a copy of Very Proud Of Ya in a big bin for 39 cents. It was well scratched, but every song worked. I still have it in fact.

Dead Kennedys- My brother likes Jello Biafra’s policitcal thinking, and talked about voting for him in the 2012 presidential elections.

Murphy’s Law- I saw them at CBGBs just before the place closed down. Great show.

Rage Against The Machine- My grandmother automatically assumed I liked them and bought me a copy of all their records, despite the fact I never heard of them at the time. Good choice!

DJing! I’m new – help please???

Yeah, I want to DJ because it looks fun Does anybody have tips for DJing? Also I will be only TURNTABLE drumming like Q-Bert.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKn9qeAIRzI&feature=related

^In that video is ONLY a turntable required for that? And where is the background music coming from (a machine or something?) Do you just pop a vinyl record into the turntable to remix it? Sorry I’m new
Thanks.

Mis-Labeled Record Album Worth More (or Less)?

I have a Beatles album in which the pressing machine burned an extra label into the vinyl; partially offset over the last track. The part of the label over the track is burned in and has grooves and plays. I imagine this is a one-of-a-kind item, but does the double label make it more or less valuable?

Thanks

A Summary of Inhalation Anesthetics

Inhalation anesthetics (also known as volatile anesthetics) are those that are introduced into the body via inhalation through the lungs. Following inhalation the anesthetic is distributed throughout the body’s tissues via the bloodstream. In most cases, the brain is the principle target when inhalation anesthetics are administered.

History of Inhalation Anesthetics

The first inhalation anesthetics were used in the Islamic Empire, and were comprised of sponges soaked in a narcotic preparation. The sponge was held over the face of the individual who was undergoing surgery.

The use of inhalant anesthetics and the success of surgery in the modern world hinges on two discoveries: the development by Joseph Lister of sterile surgical techniques, and the discovery of the anesthetic properties of nitrous oxide.

The first modern inhalant anesthetics were carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. While carbon dioxide never really came into regular use as an inhalant anesthetic, nitrous oxide became very widely used, and in fact is still in use today.

The efficacy of nitrous oxide as an inhalant anesthetic was first publicly noted by British chemist Humphrey Davy, who published a paper on the subject in 1800. However, it was several decades before the use of nitrous oxide became widespread. One of the first successful uses of the gas-a painless tooth extraction was carried out by William Thomas Green Morton, an American Dentist-was not recorded until 1846.

Also during the 1840s, another inhalation anesthetic known as diethyl ether was publicly demonstrated for use for the first time, during a tooth extraction procedure. Chloroform had also been developed a decade earlier, and despite the well-documented dangers of both chloroform and ether, both saw reasonably widespread use in Britain for a time.

During the 1930s and 1940s, inhalation anesthetics such as cyclopropane, trichloroethylene, and isopropenyl vinyl ether were developed. However, the development of halothane in 1951 and the introduction of this anesthetic into clinical practice five years later made most of the earlier inhalation anesthetics obsolete.

During the 1960s and 1970s, a small number of new inhalation anesthetics were synthesized. Among them were enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, and methoxyflurane. With the exception of methoxyflurane, which was taken off the market due to nephrotoxicity, many of the inhalation anesthetics developed during this period are still in use today.

Inhalation Anesthetics Currently Used

Most of the currently used inhalation anesthetics are halogen-containing volatile anesthetics that were developed in the 1960s and 1970s. Among these are isoflurane, sevoflurane, enflurane, and desflurane. Halothane, developed in the 1950s, is also still in use.

Nitrous oxide, developed over a century ago, is also in regular use as an inhalation anesthetic. Colloquially known as “laughing gas”, its most well-known medical use is in dentistry.

Another type of non-volatile inhalation anesthetic that may eventually come into more regular use is xenon. Currently, xenon is more expensive to use than other inhalation anesthetics, and this has limited its use somewhat. However, xenon is an attractive prospect, as it is around 50% more potent than nitrous oxide, and as it is not a greenhouse gas, is also more environmentally-friendly.

Mode of Action

Inhalation anesthetics are administered via an anesthetic machine that uses a vaporizer to generate an inhalable gas from a liquid version of the anesthetic. Once inhaled, the gas is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream at a rate that is dependent on the dose administered, the type of anesthetic used, and on more specific factors that depend on the patient who is receiving the anesthetic.

Inhalation anesthetics generally operate via one of two methods: increase of inhibitory function, or decrease of excitatory transmission, at brain nerve endings. In ideal situations, inhalation anesthetics induce anesthesia quickly, and emergence from the anesthetized state is rapid once the anesthetic stimulus is removed.

The body deals with inhalation anesthetics in two ways: via metabolism, and via exhalation. The ideal inhalation anesthetics are those which are metabolized only at low levels. Metabolism rates vary widely between different anesthetics: halothane, for example, is metabolized at a rate of 10% to 20%, while enflurane has a metabolism rate of around 2.5%, and nitrous oxide has a rate of 0%, and is not metabolized at all.

During a surgical procedure, inhalation anesthetics tend to accumulate in fatty tissue, meaning that patients with higher percentages of body fat will awaken from the anesthetized state slower than patients with less body fat.

Possible Side Effects and Toxic Effects

Most inhalation anesthetics produce a variety of different side effects. Some side effects occur only in one or two different anesthetics, while other side effects are common to almost all. Some of the most common side effects include the following:

Cardiovascular effects include decreased blood pressure (in all inhalation anesthetics except for nitrous oxide, and increased heart rate (isoflurane and halothane).

Pulmonary effects include an increase in respiratory rate. This increase is dose-dependent and is common to all inhalation anesthetics.

Renal and hepatic function is decreased following administration of all inhalation anesthetics. In extremely rare cases (between one in 6,000 and one in 35,000), necrosis of the liver may result from administration of halothane. Kidney toxicity, once a relatively common result of the use methoxyflurane, is occasionally seen following the administration of high doses of sevoflurane.

Yamaha RX-V3800BL 7.1-Channel Network Home Theater Receiver Reviews

I bit the bullet and started looking for a receiver that had enough HDMI inputs, enough SVHS inputs, an input for my iPod and RCA-phono/USB-phono, LAN and computer. Previously, I had a Pioneer VSX-9500, then a Yamaha model with about 5 SVHS inputs, and a Denon AVR 4802R with 7 SVHS inputs. After a couple of months of searching through the usual suspects, including the other brands I have had, I settled on the Yamaha RX-V3800 in black because it allowed me to do enough of what I wanted to do from my shopping list I mentiond earlier.

First of all, I was surprised to find that all the receivers I looked at had downsized their number of connections from four years ago when I bought my Denon receiver. I was having to look at receivers costing 2 to 3 times as much as the yamaha RX-V3800 before I could find one with as many inputs, and I found even Yamaha’s RX-Z11 had the same number as the RX-V3800, and it ran almost $5,000.00. Then, I thought about it… what were the inputs I really used most of all: SVHS, BluRay, HD-DVD, DVR, DVR-VHS combo, CD player, cassette, and phono. There was one input remaining that I was able to use with a junction box for ED-Beta,Laser Disc, XM radio, and an DVR-R recorder, so the Yamaha RX-V3800 would do without me having to compromise too much.

But, let’s get to the machine and all of it’s pluses:

The sound… It is terrific! With my previous system, I had to gerry-rig the side speakers using a quadraphonic synthesizer, but the yamaha RX-V3800 has the following speaker connections: left-front, right-front, center, left-side, right-side, left-rear, right-rear and sub-woofer. My previous set-up had a rear-center, and after reading a little, I found you could hook-up a rear center by using the RCA connection labeled “Single (SB).” (There’s a “SURBACK PRESENCE” that can be used, also, but it was designed for when you only wanted one rear channel). When you set-up the speakers, Yamaha has a special optimizer microphone you plug into the front of the unit and it balances your speakers based on where you have the microphone placed.

The four HDMI inputs are great, too, because it allows me to have the best picture and sound from my BluRay, HD-DVD, Satellite Receiver, and DVR-VHS unit.

The Internet radio is easy to use, and it is programmed with plenty of stations. The selection of stations with the Yamaha remote is easy and the sound is wonderful.

The iPod Yamaha YDS-10 dock option is a must if you have an iPod. Quite frankly, I probably won’t use my phono, now, except to make digital recordings of out-of-date vinyl recordings because of the ease of operation of the iPod through the docking station, especially if you have the 80 or 160 GB model of iPod with all the music they can hold.

The XM set-up with the XM Extreme is nice and integrates smoothly. I, actually, use an older XM radio through two RCA inputs, but with the XM Extreme directly connected, it is easier to use.

The computer set-up is not as easy as the manual would make you believe, but it is easier if you do the following: Make sure your PC has XP Service Pack Two or Vista on it AND you have Windows Media Player 11 installed, have your 232 Serial Ports between the computer and the Yamaha RX-V-3800 connected, and have a networking guide for your operating system. Once you have those done, you go into Windows Media Player, select “Library” at the top, and then select “Media Sharing” to allow the tunes on your PC to be shared with your receiver. For other PC’s on your LAN, it would be best for you to already have those tunes shared, but if you connect an iPod, that might not be necessary. While I am at it, I will say this about Media Player ll: once you’ve checked the right boxes, it does a good job.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Yamaha RX-V3800. I did think that they could have done a better job with the manual… for example, in setting-up the PC, you start reading the instructions and it refers you to two other sections of the manual, and when things just didn’t seem to jell, one finds that later in the manual, they show you how to do the set-up more thoroughly and manually, if needed. That said and done, though, I would buy this receiver again. I do wish it had more inputs, but then again, most people don’t have as much to hook-up as I do. If there were a four-and-a-half stars rating, I would give it, but I’m stuck giving it only four.

I want to learn how to make vinyl records…?

Ive been looking around and there are not many companies in my area that make vinyl records. Ive looked into what machines and equipment it takes to actually make them but now I just need the knowledge. Is there some kind of music classes I would need to take or some kind of training I need specifically for making vinyls? I really have no clue where to even begin looking to gain some experience before I go out on a limb with this. Any advice?
