![]() Following both singles would come one of Pretenders’ biggest tracks to this day, "Brass In Pocket." Leading with a memorable guitar rhythm embodied by a luscious chorus, "Brass In Pocket" launched Pretenders onto a different level, with the track finishing reaching #1 in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, and South Africa, as well as Top 5 in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, New Zealand and more. Next came "Kid," another UK Top 40 hit and their first originally written single. The Pretenders’ first endeavor came almost a year earlier to the album’s release, with their Top 40 debut single, a cover of the Kinks’ "Stop Your Sobbing" produced by Nick Lowe. PRETENDERS II (DELUXE EDITION) also features a remastered version of the album by Chris Thomas, demos, and alternates alongside two live performances one from Central Park, New York City in 1980, and an electric show from The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1981. These include BBC sessions on The Kid Jensen Show, and performances at The Paris Theatre, London, and Paradise Theater in Boston. PRETENDERS (DELUXE EDITION) houses the original album remastered by Chris Thomas, alongside demos, rarities, and many live performances. They include a myriad of rare and unseen photos of the band. ![]() Assembled by Chrissie Hynde , both Pretenders and Pretenders II are each presented in 12x12 3CD deluxe sets, featuring a high-quality book with brand-new liner notes by journalist Will Hodgkinson. Pretenders and Pretenders II will also be pressed on limited edition red and white vinyl respectively on Rhino. On November 5, Pretenders’ first two albums were reissued in two brand-new 3CD deluxe editions curated by Chrissie Hynde and will be available from all music retailers. Consisting of their most famous line-up with Chrissie Hynde (vocals and guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (guitar), Pete Farndon (bass), and Martin Chambers (drums), the Pretenders first two albums created a rock sound that perfectly blended glistening guitar hooks, striking vocals with undertones of punk that still sound fresh to this day. They solidified their status as one of the most exciting bands around with their follow-up album Pretenders II, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. ![]() Also issued at the same time of Greatest Hits was a DVD by the same name that included most of the group's promo video clips.At the turn of the 80s, Pretenders announced themselves to the world with what is widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums of all time. Although there are quite a few gems included ("Brass in Pocket," "Message of Love," "Talk of the Town," "Kid," "Back on the Chain Gang," etc.), Greatest Hits leaves out far too many prime selections to be considered truly definitive. Whereas it would have been a wise move to showcase such oft-overlooked classics as "Tattooed Love Boys," "Mystery Achievement," "Precious," "My City Was Gone," or "Birds of Paradise" (all of which weren't included on The Singles), Greatest Hits includes such not-as-strong selections as "Night in My Veins," "Breakfast in Bed," and "Human" instead. ![]() Although it contains a total of 20 tracks, Greatest Hits ultimately fails to improve over its predecessor, for the simple fact that the early '80s was the Pretenders' artistic and commercial peak, and Greatest Hits contains too much latter-day material. The Pretenders' 1987 collection, The Singles, did a fine job of assembling most of the group's finest tracks up to that point in their career, so after another decade passed, their record company felt it was necessary to compile a more "updated" collection, 2000's Euro-only release Greatest Hits. ![]()

![]() ![]() Android fragmentation is still a big problem in September 2015.Īs is the norm ahead of most smartphone launches, leaked pictures of the Nexus 5X and 6P, as they are rumoured to be called, have appeared online. With thousands of models using different hardware and software, Android can be more difficult for programmers to support. Early adopters and developers often like their "pure" Android software, less cluttered than the customised versions that more mainstream Android phones use, and for the fact that Google keeps them current with prompt Android updates.ĭespite Google showcasing Android with Nexus, though, the operating system remains as fragmented as ever. Nexus phones don't sell anywhere near as well as top models such as Samsung's Galaxy products, but they carry outsized influence by setting an example for what Google hopes Android should be like. Nexus devices are traditionally the first to be updated to the latest version of Android, suggesting that if you manage to get your hands on a cut-price Nexus 6 you'll be able to download Marshmallow sooner than other Android phone owners out there. ![]() The new phones will introduce Android 6.0, aka Marshmallow, the newest version of Google's mobile operating system software that powers millions of phones and tablets. The first will be a smaller Nexus made by LG and the second will be a larger model made by Huawei - the first ever Google-branded device from the Chinese smartphone giant. The price drop, spotted by Android Police, comes ahead of an event next week in San Francisco, where Google is expected to launch two new Nexus phones. If you were to purchase the same 32GB model phone directly from Google it would cost $500, £369 or AU$669 - and that's with a hefty discount on the original price already applied. If you're in the market for a bargain you can currently pick up a new carrier-unlocked Google Nexus 6 on eBay for just $299 (which converts to £195 or AU$425), or for $349 (£230 or AU$495) on. The Nexus 6 is going cheap ahead of its successors' launch. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2 overall pick had 26 goals and 56 points for the Blue Jackets last season. Will they stick with the same offensive philosophy they had with Rush in the game or will they return to gunslinger mode with Dak.Laine, 24, is entering his second full season with the Blue Jackets after a 2021 trade from the Winnipeg Jets. ![]() As for Dak, I would take a wait and see approach. The Steelers are allowing over 300 yards a game in their last three games They are also surrendering 2.3 touchdowns per game over that same amount of time. Last week Teddy Bridgewater threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. When you mix that with Seattle's success in the run game, there may be fewer opportunities for Geno to put up big stats. They are also allowing 1.3 passing touchdowns a game over their last three. They are only allowing 224 passing yards per game (only 201 in their last 3 games). That will most likely eliminate Geno Smith because the Chargers have the best defense of the three opponents. But let's assume that all three are healthy and playing - we need to go to matchups. This question is tricky because the easiest answer is stay with the hot hand. Hopefully you have reaped the benefits of his play over the first six weeks of the season. I feel like I have to keep all three for now, but who do you start next week?įirst off, RJ, congratulations on riding with Geno. RJ I.- Have been riding with Geno while having both Tua and Dak hurt. I would say trust no one but try everyone until you are on more stable footing with the returners from injury. Maybe trading Stevenson, knowing that when Harris gets back healthy he will begin to eat away at some of Stevenson's production. I think in your position the goal needs to be management of that flex position on a week by week basis or maybe look at selling high on one of the talents that you have that has been surprisingly good. Injuries do happen and unfortunately many times offensively they happen at the running back position. Do we trust Drake to get a large workload moving forward? Is Caleb Huntley worth a stab? Otherwise my options are Bateman and Eno Benjamin with this weeks byes. It is a 12 man league, so waivers are basically useless. The problem is in that flex position, I have no one to play. Thankfully Pierce has turned out to be a good draft pick, and Rhamondre Stevenson is getting the bulk of the work with Harris out. I lost Javonte and Penny to season ending injuries, and now Cam Akers is away from the team. ![]() My team has been decimated over the last couple weeks at RB/fFex.

Cause anarchy! If you can’t win it, make sure others can’t as well. Trade that player to a mid tier team and watch the upper echelon of your league cannibalize each other. After all, you are losing with him, if you lose without him - is there much difference? Don’t just give that player away but try to strengthen two to three positions with your one player. My suggestion to those who have very few checks in the win column is to seriously consider parting with your most productive player. You should begin to position yourself for the stretch run. Keep updating those rosters before games begin, don’t get caught with players on a bye week starting on your roster (I have actually done this in the past). It only takes one move to change your fortunes in your league. The point is, don’t stop tinkering and tweaking your team. I have personally had seasons where at this point I was sitting with only one or two wins and thought the season was over but I rallied to not only make the playoffs but the championship game (where I ultimately lost.

I will film my experiments, and hopefully this will refrain my passion and oblige me to perform as originally intended. Now that I am blogging I am planning to add context that will force me to be more disciplined on my exploration plans. I always fantasize with exploring these fetishes but I always end taken over by passion and just fucking conventionally. However, when I saw them with the make up and the nose on, poom, instant boner. Some of them were my friends, guys I would have never thought of fucking because I did not find them attractive. ![]() Looking at the actors on stage I had the realization. One of the trends was clown, as in the masks technique derived from Commedia dell’Arte. Back in the 80s I participated in the alternative theatre circuit in Buenos Aires. People always ask me why I find clowns attractive, but I do not have an answer. After that, years ago I bought a clown nose but never had the chance to try it until yesterday. I experimented with this many times with Pablo. I find clown noses and clown make up extremely arousing. Out of all my fetishes, I have one that seems to be unique. I am planning to explore this fetish soon, and hopefully film it to share with you all. Bondage is also extremely appealing to me, but have never explored it. I have explored that a few times with regular hook ups. I can enjoy rough play, meaning slightly violent. The second time I hired an escort to experiment, but we ended just fucking and doing a little bit of puppy play the last 10 minutes. I have explored this fetish only twice, one with a plumber I hooked up with in Buenos Aires, where our play evolved naturally into him behaving like a puppy. I have explored this fetish many years ago with Pablo, the bisexual lover I have share about before. ![]() Then there are others that I have explored less, or not at all. I am probably boring you all telling about those fixations when I share my reviews. I like smooth young skins, well shaped butts, clean ass smell, big dicks and balls, thick necks, sucking feet, eating ass, being in control, and six pack abs.Īll those are pretty mainstream fetishes very easy to find and/or integrate into any erotic play, so I enjoy all of them a lot. Given my broader understanding of what fetishes are (as opposed to the clinical definition), I have many. My fetishes are not an obstacle but a gate. When I think of my relationship with fetishes I do not think of obsession or fixation but of spice and flavor, of playful and creative maximization of pleasure. Rather than an obstacle for sexual expression, they are a very expressive part of our sexual identity, and creativity. Both reflect much better the reality of how fetishes are understood and experienced by most people I know, including myself. Also the one that Google gives you: “a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.”. I prefer the definition we can find in : “any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation”. I find such a definition extremely restrictive, clinical and derogatory, even moralist. What is a fetish? According to Merriam-Webster, it is “an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression”. Who does not have one or many fetishes? I have several mainstream ones where I have developed an expertise, but I am ready to explore my less visited ones. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lumps can present anywhere on the human body and raise alarm for patients.

If the first element of a is not 1, then filter divides the coefficients by a(1) before implementing the difference equation. How does Matlab calculate filter coefficients?ī = 1 a = y = filter(b,a,x) filter gives you as many output samples as there are input samples, that is, the length of y is the same as the length of x. highpass uses a minimum-order filter with a stopband attenuation of 60 dB and compensates for the delay introduced by the filter. Y = highpass( x, wpass ) filters the input signal x using a highpass filter with normalized passband frequency wpass in units of π rad/sample. How do I create a high pass filter in MATLAB? In MATLAB®, the filter function filters a vector of data x according to the following difference equation, which describes a tapped delay-line filter. b = fir1(_, window ) designs the filter using the vector specified in window and any of the arguments from previous syntaxes.įilters are data processing techniques that can smooth out high-frequency fluctuations in data or remove periodic trends of a specific frequency from data.
