Extraneous noises should be edited with Click Removal, Repair or Amplify before the Normalize step. NOTE: Extraneous noises in the recording can cause Normalize to create unwanted changes in the stereo balance, or prevent recordings being made as loud as they can be. To correct unwanted volume differences between left and right, check "Normalize stereo channels independently". However basic consumer-level equipment can often record with channels unbalanced. Note that Normalize defaults to retaining the existing balance between stereo channels. ![]() The volume is normalized to -1 dB, so leaving a little headroom below the maximum possible 0 dB level.Accept (for now) the default choices in the Normalize dialog and click the OK button. ![]()

![]() ![]() Hugh Hefner instantly shot back that Guccione had stepped over the line. In that one move “The Pubic Wars”, a pun on the historical Punic Wars, were launched. ![]() Guccione countered informing them that they had lodged no complaint about the former month’s issue and he could therefore stand on precedent. The censors had an immediate reaction and contacted Penthouse to inform them that this was not acceptable. The next month, a model was more clearly shown with her pubic area visible. In a pictorial in June, 1970 a model was shown at a distance walking on a beach with a bikini top but no bottom. This fit perfectly with the sultry, hyper sexual style of photo he was looking for.Īfter the Rabbit Hunting series of ads (again showcasing Guccione’s talent for parody, and cartoon prowess), Penthouse wasted no time in pushing the limits of the established US obscenity laws. By day 3 many would be VERY aggressively trying to seduce him. The usual 3 day shoots would start with the model thinking “What a nice guy” when he didn’t make a pass at them. Guccione had another firm rule -He didn’t fraternize with the models he was shooting, even though many made advances toward him. After asking a UK photographer friend to explain to him how the device worked, he began to use carefully placed light and shadow, along with a soft filtered look to establish what would become the “Penthouse Style”. Guccione had never used a camera professionally before starting the magazine. Playboy tended to go for the brightly lit, Bubblegum Pin-up style of photo with a brightly smiling model. People who had heard of the more racy British version of Playboy were chomping at the bit to get their hands on the magazine.įrom the beginning, the “Penthouse Pictorial” style was very different from the “Playboy Pictorial“. They opened a New York office, devised a “Rabbit Hunting” advertising campaign, and began the American edition of Penthouse Magazine. In 1969, building on the roaring success in the British Isles, Guccione and Keaton decided the time was right to take on the biggest competitor on their home turf. This trend would continue through the life of Keaton’s tenure at the magazine. She soon rose in responsibility and began to hire other female employees. It was a rarity for women to be in advertising sales in the 1960’s, but the South African born beauty Keaton had a knack for it. He offered her a job selling advertising for his fledgling magazine, and a business partnership was born. Guccione went to the show and was instantly taken with Keaton. The star’s manager contacted him, irate over the parody, and insisted that if he saw the talent of the show’s star, Kathy Keaton, he would never make fun of it again. In 1965 Guccione, who continued to use the art of parody he learned as a cartoonist, made a parody flyer of a West End burlesque show. All this did was give the magazine a LOT of free publicity, and soon it was difficult to keep on newsstand shelves due to demand. The politicians in the UK wanted to either ban it or educate people about the “Dangers of Pornography”. It was an immediate success and caused immediate controversy. Using the information gleaned from the Pin-up business Guccione launched the UK edition of Penthouse Magazine in 1965. The articles would be more cutting edge and controversial, the pictorials would feature more nudity and more suggestive poses than Playboy. It would take the Playboy business model but go further. He envisioned a magazine that would emulate playboy but have a very definite British slant. At the time they were living in the United Kingdom and Bob became fascinated with the American publication, Playboy. His first wife started a mail order business selling pin-up photographs. Early on he took jobs as a cartoonist to make ends meet and even spent some time managing a string of laundry mats. Bob was always interested in art and trained to be a painter. Robert Charles Joseph Edward Sabatini “Bob” Guccione, was born in Brooklyn, New York on December 17th 1930 to Italian-American parents Anthony and Nina. The collectible Penthouse Magazine issues offered by Doodle Dan’s Deals offer a chance to own a piece of a world that will never exist again. At the heart of it all was a very unique character who helmed this ship to the heights of worldwide publishing before seeing it dashed on the rocks of a changing market and extreme financial missteps. It’s a story that could only happen against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960’s, the sexual revolution of the 1970’s and the resultant backlash of the more puritanical 1980s.

![]() ![]() Others may recommend duct tape, but it will not stand up to the heat and friction, and quickly wads up inside the rim, again wearing into the tube. One uses old inner tubes stretched around the inner rim, which works until the tube bunches up and rubs into the tube. People have resorted to differing methods to cover the nipples. Originally, a heavy reinforced rubber liner was used to provide this, but to the best of my knowledge nobody is making these (a real shame for as popular as wire wheels are for T-birds). The down side is that there needs to be protection between the spoke ends/nipples and the tube. FACE IT, wire wheels by nature of their construction NEED TUBES in order to hold air. I constantly see messages from people who are complaining of tires going flat because the "tubeless" wheels won't hold air. The "tubeless" wire wheel has been attempted for over 15 years by use of applying silicone over the inner face of the rim in order to cover and seal the spoke ends/nipples. I recall a couple of threads on this site discussing some trick to reduce friction and protect the tube from the pointy things on spokes (they may be in other years sections). If you plan to do a lot of highway driving you can break down the tire faster. The problem with tubes is they create friction inside the tire and build up more heat. ![]() ![]() They may have a maintenance regime that is required and if so it is critically important.Ī tube helps overcome the broken seal problem. You should get info on these wheels to see what kind they are and how they are built. This kind of action, over time, will break down the seals in the wheel, thus you loose air. This is because the each time the individual spoke takes the weight of the car there is a little stress then a release. If you have a type where the spoke is mechanicially attached with say a nut, you will eventually have some problems. If your repo is of a design where the wires are welded or otherwise permanently made part of the wheel, your tubless tire will probably be OK. Basically the issue is the construction of the wheels. I'm sure more have a lot more information. ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't pay anyone who promises you an FTC refund in exchange for a fee.
