![]() This mirror image notation is used, amongst other reasons, since on the European board, one set of alternative games is to start with a hole at some position and to end with a single peg in its mirrored position. There are many different solutions to the standard problem, and one notation used to describe them assigns letters to the holes (although numbers may also be used): On an English board, the first three moves might be: Thus valid moves in each of the four orthogonal directions are: A blue ¤ is the hole the current peg moved from a red * is the final position of that peg, a red o is the hole of the peg that was jumped and removed. indicates a peg in a hole, * emboldened indicates the peg to be moved, and o indicates an empty hole.The objective is, making valid moves, to empty the entire board except for a solitary peg in the central hole.Ī man playing triangular peg solitaire at a Cracker Barrel restaurant.Ī valid move is to jump a peg orthogonally over an adjacent peg into a hole two positions away and then to remove the jumped peg. The standard game fills the entire board with pegs except for the central hole. This is the first known reference to the game in print. The August 1697 edition of the French literary magazine Mercure galant contains a description of the board, rules and sample problems. The first evidence of the game can be traced back to the court of Louis XIV, and the specific date of 1697, with an engraving made ten years later by Claude Auguste Berey of Anne de Rohan-Chabot, Princess of Soubise, with the puzzle by her side. It is also called Brainvita in India, where sets are sold commercially under this name. The game is known as solitaire in Britain and as peg solitaire in the US where 'solitaire' is now the common name for patience. Some sets use marbles in a board with indentations. ![]() Peg solitaire, Solo Noble or simply Solitaire is a board game for one player involving movement of pegs on a board with holes.

The Output switch toggles between mono and stereo (Dual) processing. Its influence on the sound varies considerably depending on the amp model used but can add (or subtract) ”edge” or ”crispness.” Presence is an additional tone control for mid/high frequencies in the power amp stage. For example, increasing EQ levels can, in some cases, also increase the amount of distortion. ![]() As on a real-world amplifier, Amp’s EQ parameters interact with each other - and with the rest of Amp’s parameters - in non-linear and sometimes unpredictable ways. The Bass, Middle and Treble knobs are EQ controls that adjust the timbre of the sound. When using the Blues, Heavy and Bass models, high Volume levels can also add considerable distortion. Higher Gain settings result in a more distorted sound. Although Gain and Volume work together to determine Amp’s overall level, Gain is the primary control for the distortion amount. Gain adjusts the level of input to the preamplifier, while Volume adjusts the output stage of the power amplifier. This makes it very easy to quickly change the overall character of your sound without having to make numerous adjustments. Bass is modeled after a rare PA from the ’70s which has become popular with bass players due to its strong low end and ”fuzz” at high volumes.Īlthough the real-world versions of these amplifiers all have unique parameters, Live’s Amp effect uses the same set of controls for each model.Heavy is based on the ”Vintage” channel of the same amp and is also ideal for metal and grunge sounds.Lead is based on the ”Modern” channel of a high-gain amp popular with metal guitarists.This is perhaps the best known rock amp of all time. Rock is modeled after a classic 45 watt amp from the ’60s.This classic amp is popular with country, rock and blues guitarists. Blues is based on a ’70s-era guitar amp with a bright character.Boost is based on the ”Tremolo” channel of the same amp, and is great for edgy rock riffs.This amp was widely used by guitarists of the British Invasion. Clean is based on the ”Brilliant” channel of a classic amp from the ’60s.There are seven amp models to choose from: Developed in collaboration with Softube, Amp uses physical modelling technology to provide a range of authentic and usable amplifier tones, with a simple and consistent set of controls. ![]() (Note: the Amp effect is not available in the Intro, Lite and Standard Editions.)Īmp is an effect that emulates the sound and character of seven classic guitar amplifiers. The Working with Instruments and Effects chapter (see ‘Working with Instruments and Effects’) explains the basics of using effects in Live.

I also use it as a statistic tool it's interesting for example to see which members are into the amiga market, which into the MSX one and such. I conceived this thread, believe it or not, as a resource for forum members, so that they can easily pm to a game's owner and ask him questions on it instead of flooding the forum with debates like which rev. That's been true forever with the league's best players, and always will be. Nevertheless, how James is officiated is an issue for the NBA this season and beyond. James is a product of a different day in the NBA, a different generation and the evolution of the sport spared him the beatings delivered in the 1980s and '90s. Thibodeau sent those Bulls hard for James, and it stirred something within the NBA's MVP that no one had heard out of him this season. Deep down, Riley understands something: the way with which those Bulls engaged James to end that 27-game winning streak had been the ultimate tribute to Riley himself. In the end, remember something: Thibodeau is a disciple of Jeff Van Gundy, who is a disciple of Riley. Looking back, no one is sure that Thibodeau ever signed the waiver confirming that he'd never sell his personal engraved 2008 championship ring when those were handed out to staff. He wears everyone down until he gets everything he wants – front offices, players, and often opponents too.īack in his assistant coaching days in Boston, his contracts lingered unsigned, too. This is how Thibodeau operates, part of his maddening genius. Nevertheless, he wouldn't acknowledge that it had been signed because that still hasn't happened, several sources with direct knowledge of the contract told Y! Sports. "The deal's done," Thibodeau told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday night. So stubborn, in fact, Thibodeau still hasn't signed the four-year, $17.5 million-plus contract extension that Bulls commemorated with an Oct. Still, Thibodeau is stubborn and he'll never let his players back down to James and the Heat. Of course, everyone doesn't have the Bulls' personnel to be physical with James, nor the ferocious defensive mindset within their players. And when teams want to defend James, they'll study Thibodeau's blueprint. When Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson wanted to install a defense, he made young assistant Darren Erman – a Thibodeau disciple in Boston – his defensive coordinator. This is a copycat league, and this episode will turn out to be one more way in which Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has become the most mimicked of all. In a season when James had manufactured no storylines beyond the perpetual testimonials about the greatness of his game, his venting in Chicago on Wednesday night promises to be the beginning of the framing of how he'll be officiated in these playoffs. When it serves his agenda, no one steps down off Olympus and delivers the arrows like him. Even so, Riley's never needed a noble reason to grandstand. If Riley's response feels unprecedented, remember something: The re-recruitment of James to re-sign in 2014 is underway, and this was Riley's way to back his franchise star. "I think that it's almost embarrassing that LeBron James would complain about officiating," Ainge had told WEEI radio in Boston.įor Ainge, he has been his vintage self: agitating, inciting, inspiring an irrational over-the-top response. ![]() This was a spectacularly jarring response to Ainge, who had chastised LeBron James and his declaration that the NBA and its officials don't do enough to protect him. ![]() "He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him." "Danny Ainge needs to shut the up and manage his own team," Riley proclaimed. In honoring two historically indisputable professional habits – establishing himself as the patriarch and protector of his star player and wrapping himself in downright disdain for the Boston Celtics – Riley sent a missive to one of his messengers on Good Friday.
