Cost of Gwent Police rises by 2.66% as Crime Commissioner's deputy, Paul Harris appointed
3:33pm Friday 11th January 2013 in News
THE Police and Crime Commissioner's recommendation for his deputy was today approved by the Gwent police and crime panel.
Paul Harris will now take up his post alongside the Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Johnston.
None of the panel members raised any objections to Mr Johnston's former colleague being appointed to the £52,000 salary position.
Mr Johnston's proposal that the amount Gwent residents pay for their policing through the 2013-14 precept should increase by 2.66 percent was accepted by the panel.
Mr Harris was a police officer in Gwent between 1976-1998 and left the force as a detective chief inspector. He has worked with the National criminal intelligence service and the serious organised crime agency on secondment in The Hague in the Netherlands. Prior to taking up this post Paul had worked for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Welcoming his deputy, Ian Johnston said: "Paul brings with him a wealth of experience and understanding of the role, as well as an excellent track record of getting the job done.
Paul Harris added: "I'm delighted to have been appointed to the post. This is a new and very challenging role with a real opportunity to make a difference for the people of Gwent.

How many other people were interviewed for this post, and where was it advertised.
Seems to me that this is another stitch up that will be paid for from our Council tax. I don't want to pay an increase of 2.66%, Can I veto it please?

I have to say that this is not the way to run a public agency but there is nothing to prevent him doing it. I leave it to you to make your own mind up as to what you think of such a system.

is the guy who does the work, a chief
superintendent who wanted to be a chief
constable needs a deputy because of status. A previous chief superintendent
seeking the post of chief constable at Gwent said his rank was superfluous and should go, having secured the top job that suggestion was shelved . I should think the Gwent police upper
chamber have moved from despair
to one of great delight,control is complete and rock solid .

The proposed level of increase in the police precept element of the Council tax was welcomed ( and supported by a unanimous vote) by all members of the Police and Crime panel and indeed was well received by all Local Authority Leaders who I met on Friday afternoon.
Other Welsh PCC's are yet to set their Police Precept but when they do the Gwent 2.66% increase will be seen in perspective.
The setting of the precept for 2013/14 has NO connection to the appointment of the Deputy PCC despite the misleading headline in the local paper. The salary for the Deputy PCC was included in the transitional arrangements.
21 PCC's in England and Wales have now selected their Deputies- following the requirements of the Act of Parliament. Others are in the process of doing so. No surprises. Those elected on a Labour ticket have elected Labour councillors and those elected on a Tory ticket have elected Tory councillors.
It appears that some contributors have a real problem with a former senior police officer being elected as PCC. I find that really strange as the overwhelming majority of people I have spoken to voted for me BECAUSE I am a former police officer with experience of policing on a local and National level

as I see the situation, the whole idea was to have a totally independent minded oversight, I do not believe that
can be achieved with an ex police officer in the post,by the same token a political apparatchik would have been
a total disaster ,party politics being what they are. But let us not forget the proof of the pudding is in the eating .

I believe all members of the Police and Crime Panel failed miserably by accepting the unwarranted pressure from Gwent PCC to install his close mate and former Senior Gwent Police Officer. Gwent PCC is worse than the other Labour and Tory PCC's who selected their councillor colleagues as their Deputy PCC - as he quoted, at least the Councillors who are allocated PCC Deputies are elected officials, whereas the Gwent PCC's Deputy is at best a top job for his mate and former Heddlu Gwent Police Colleague. Calling on the South East Wales Assembly Members to investigate this travesty of top job for my mate and former colleague - top job for his mate and former colleague. Ian Johnston I now regret voting for you, I voted for you because I thought you would be honest and treat the PCC position with the highest respect, yet what have you done, secured your mate and a former Heddlu Gwent Senior Police Officer a £52,000 a year a welcome New Years Gift.
In addition to taking advantage of the newly formed members of the Police and Crime Panel into giving your mate a £52,000 New Years Present.

Many of them were in receipt of more than £10,000 pa plus expenses for doing very little.
Now that they have been sidelined by professionals, I believe they will only receive around £900 each plus expenses.
The cost of the Deputy Commissioner can be met from the savings made to just 6 of the vast number of members who sit on the Police Authority.
This being the case I see no reason, other than for operational matters, why the police precept (tax) should be increased.

Cwmderi wrote:A strange post this. It suggests that because the appointment of a deputy PCC won't cause an increase in the precept that it is somehow not real money. It is real money. The people of Gwent have to pay it. It would have been nice to have a reduction in the police precept instead of an increase and not appointing a deputy PCC would have helped to achieve that.
Under the over-all budget, I really don't understand how it will cost more to appoint a Deputy Commissioner, as there has been huge savings made to the Police Authority members allowances.

but hey, hang on.......this is not a leadership role anyway. Isn't this job about overseeing the leader's (Chief's) performance on behalf of the public?

Ex copper or not, he has been elected and I do quite like the idea that the current PCC is at least from Gwent. If it wasn't for the chance of a chief's post and the kudos that goes with it, most top cops would regard Gwent as a backwater fly speck on the map, situated somewhere out there in that wild, dark and rainy land 'over the bridge', where apparently, men paint themselves blue and sheep are fearful.
I do hope the PCC will have a pair of hairy round things large enough to question any issue brought to his attention as PCC, in as public and transparent a manner as possible. He has at least entered this particular debate earlier in this public comment section and whatever you think of him and his role, when was the last time a public servant at a high level thought fit to do that?

The incumbent commissioner and now his deputy will never shake off the suspicion of being 'in the force'. You only have to look at Operation Elveden and the Plebgate incident to see the extent of misconduct in office. It's no surprise that the public are sceptical of police integrity .
And lets not forget that the salary details in no way reflect the actual cost of employing these two, when their benefits package (pension, private health cover, car/travel allowances etc) are taken into account.

Rogers thinks the same satisfactions motivate the folks who buy the car. Obviously they are well-heeled enough to purchase an expensive car in difficult economic times, but Rogers believes there is a deeper appeal than owning a new trinket. He calls it the "build experience"—the opportunity to make your own car, doing everything from designing the images that adorn the wrap to tightening the bolts. The experience takes six days. It could be a father and his son, or a few friends, or even a husband and a wife. Clients aren't mechanics. Some of them have never even used a screwdriver. But the building experience is a path to the bonding experience. Builder-trainer Mike Pisani says, "We are trying to create the Disney World of automotive experience. You're not just swapping cash for a car."
In a way, that is the primary force behind the third industrial revolution: bringing people together, sometimes in new and unusual ways. Local Motors has held design competitions with Shell Oil for local energy-efficient vehicles, with the B'Twin bicycle company for an adult tricycle, with Peterbilt trucks for a new flagship vehicle, with Domino's Pizza for a customized pizza-delivery car and even with Reebok for an automobile-inspired sneaker. While the main participants are aspiring designers, truck drivers signed on for the Peterbilt project, and pizza-delivery workers entered the Domino's contest. Moreover, Local Motors has deals with Snap-on Tools, Lincoln Electric, Siemens PLM Software (to provide CAD to the community for a nominal price) and 3M, which produces the wrap the Rally Fighter uses instead of paint.
Traditional car companies, however, are skeptical. The head of innovation at GM visited the Arizona facility and came away baffled. "He didn't get it at all," Rogers says. He attributes it to the fact that most automobile executives, though eager to learn how to move cars via the internet, do not like cars very much, not the way he does. He is especially lathered over a lead automotive analyst who called the iPhone the "new Mustang," as if social networking could replace the automobile.
Even so, LM partnered with GM in overturning a California regulation that prohibited taking an engine from one car and putting it in another (as LM did with the Chevy LS3) for fear that emissions controls would be circumvented. The companies were, as Rogers says, "strange bedfellows." LM is also collaborating with BMW on a plan in which LM would use its international community to design local vehicles for specific areas and then have BMW manage some of the micro-factories.
Rogers claims he has already made more cars than Preston Tucker, and he believes his company will be profitable by the end of 2013, not just from car sales but from competition partnerships and selling CAD software to the community. Because his overhead is so low, he says he needs to sell only five cars a month to get there. But then there are those industrial vistas that stretch far beyond turning a profit. Already LM is working on a two-seat "tandem car" that is being both designed and engineered by the LM online community with the intention of providing specs so anyone can build the car at home for as little as $10,000. The company is examining how to energize the engineering community, which currently has only 50 regular participants, and make it as active as the design community in the hope that LM might someday make its own engine. It is also looking for global partners, both corporate and governmental, especially since the regulatory hurdles in the developing world are much lower than those in the United States.
But as almost everyone at LM says, the objective is to be more than just a car company. The objective is to be the online transportation hub of the world: the place where anyone interested in transportation, be it cars, boats, bicycles, trains or planes, can go to discuss, design and engineer vehicles. Already in garages, basements and warehouses around the country there are hundreds of "hacker spaces"—guerrilla labs where anyone who wants to make something can hang out with other tinkerers, use equipment and produce things. LM has drawn on several of these in Phoenix for ideas, and it has turned its own micro-factory into a hacker space on Thursday nights. Over time it could become the biggest virtual hacker space in the world. As Isaac Olson, LM's engineering-community liaison, sees it, someday the company may serve as an exchange, showing people how to realize their plans by connecting them to manufacturers and others with expertise. Designer Aurel François agrees. He sees LM not just as a potential Facebook for designers but also as a potential eBay for transportation design.
"I think Local Motors is going to be a household name in five years," CIO Tim Thomas predicts. "What we're doing is completely different, and what we produce is very passionate." Of course LM could also wind up on the trash heap. But if it succeeds, Jay Rogers may turn out to be a 21st century business legend—the man who showed ordinary people how to beat corporations at their own game, the man who fought industrial inertia and won and, not least of all, the man who did something so gigantic and revolutionary that it demonstrated his own fortitude and burnished the Rogers name after his father's setback. That's why Jay Rogers is all-in. He can't afford to lose.

Funny that Rodger's doesn't even drive his own car - he has a 1971 Mercedes. I guess he was too busy working to find the time to build one.
You should look into a company called EV West in San Marcos, CA which has a similar business model and builds a dune buggy looks very much like this one, also with extraordinary performance, except it's 100% electric! They are the same people who drove an incredibly fast electric BMW M3 up Pikes Peak.
Very eye opening Neal! Thank you. -Jenna
To insult Henry Ford and suggest that you are the next coming of the automotive messiah is much more than a bit dilusional. Local Motors is a neat little company for sure, and John Rogers sounds like a talented guy. Still, in 5 years he has designed and built about 25 custom cars (Brizzio does more Hot Rods) BUT to do this he has burned 12 million dollars in the process! To imagine that he will, in the next 5 years, build not 25 cars, but 8,000 cars AND in four all-new facilities, and to find someone to actually print that without laughing out loud, explains why this article is in Playboy Magazine and not the Wall Street Journal. I think Local Motors will probably make money (that's what Harvard MBA's do) but the next Henry Ford? Please. My guess is that with Hubris like this from doing almost nothing, he is destined to be more like the next Paris Hilton rather than Henry Ford.
A car that is build for The Army res. a Urban assault Vehicle (UAV) No particular job for that car I guess -Michael

This Day in World History
March 6, 1869
Mendeleev's Periodic Table presented in publicOn March 6, 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev's breakthrough discovery was presented to the Russian Chemical Society. The chemist had determined that the known elements — 70 at the time — could be arranged by their atomic weights into a table that revealed that their physical properties followed regular patterns. He had invented the periodic table of elements.
In his early twenties, Mendeleev had intuited that the elements followed some kind of order, and he spent thirteen years trying to discover it. In developing his system, he drew on the data and ideas of scientists around the world. Two — Lothar Meyer and British chemist John Alexander Reina Newlands — had published ideas about the periodicity of elements. But Mendeleev's addressed every known element, which theirs had not.
His system also surpassed the others because he accounted for gaps in the sequence of elements. Mendeleev said that an element would be discovered to fill each gap and even predicted the properties of those elements. The discovery of the one of these missing elements — gallium, in 1875 — helped spur wide acceptance of Mendeleev's system.
Later work showed that Mendeleev's reliance on atomic weight to determine periodicity is not completely correct. While atomic weight tends to increase as one moves from element to element, there are exceptions. Mendeleev also did not have the theoretical understanding to explain why the elements exhibited these periodic characteristics. Nevertheless, his achievement marked an important milestone in the understanding of the physical world.
Mendeleev did not personally present his breakthrough to the Chemical Society. Ill on the day of the meeting, he asked a colleague to deliver the report.
Interestingly, the date celebrated for this event reflects Russia's use of the "Old Style" Julian calendar. According to the "New Style" Gregorian calendar — not adopted in Russia until after 1918 — Mendeleev's periodic table was presented twelve days later, on March 18.

2 Responses to "Mendeleev's Periodic Table presented in public"
An interesting blog on the most famous Russian scientist of all time. But contrary to the statements above, Mendeleev did not "draw on data" from Newlands and Lothar Meyer. In fact he claimed he had not seen their periodic tables. The priority debate between Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer is rather interesting but made no reference to the Lothar Meyer – Remle's table which casts new light on the whole affair
for more infomation see,
Eric Scerri, "A Very Short Introduction to the Periodic Table" Oxford University Press, 2011.
The book brings the discovery of periodicity up-to-date by discussing how quantum mechanics provides an approximate explanation of the phenomenon. The book also discusses the recent debates concerning the 'optimal form' of the periodic table.
I liked your note on the Periodic Chart of Mendeleev, but I find a contradiction point, at the beginning of the first paragraph you mention the "discovery" that Mendeleev made and when concluding the paragraph you say that he invented the Periodic Table.
Encounter this contradictory because in Sciences they are carried out discoveries of it exists him in the nature contrary to the technology that she carries out inventions of objects or useful apparatuses for the society.
I think that it would be better to say that he presents their discovery in form of a Chart.
I apologise for my english, Thanks.

The latest Variax technology in a finely crafted guitar.
The JTV-69 James Tyler Variax Modeling Electric Guitar offers an innovative design and boutique playing experience courtesy of master luthier James Tyler, and the world's most advanced guitar modeling technology from the people who invented it, Line 6. Plug this guitar into any amp and hear all the models, all the tunings, and both acoustic and electric tones you've ever wanted. No more dragging around multiple acoustics and electrics to gigs or recording studios. Variax gives you an endless variety of sounds from classic acoustic and electric tones all the way to sitar and banjo, all in one instrument.
The JTV-69 features a beautiful flamed maple top, alder back, and a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. A recessed heel makes reaching the upper frets a breeze. The JTV-69 is loaded with a pair of single-coil pickups (neck and middle positions), and custom-wound humbuckers (bridge) designed by James Tyler. Controls include a 5-way blade pickup selector switch, a master volume & tones. A rotary model selector dials the 25 virtual guitars plus sitar, banjo, and resonator guitar tones. A rotary alt tuning selector lets you pick from 12 alternate tunings. Comes standard with a durable, padded gig bag with a stitched Line 6 logo and 2 pockets big enough for all your gig essentials.
Redesigned tremolo bridge
The JTV-69 has a redesigned tremolo bridge that offers improved tone and tuning stability. This design lets the string go into the bridge through the front of the tremolo, which brings the ball end as close to the saddle as possible, instead of stringing it through the tremolo block. This also makes restringing much easier. The knife edges and tremolo pivot posts were designed to provide nearly zero resistance. This, in conjunction with locking tuners gives this standard tremolo bridge much more tuning stability. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut keeps the strings from gripping and sticking. James Tyler Custom tremolo bridge is also fitted with an LR Baggs Radiance hex pickup system for sweet acoustic guitar tones.
Dual-core Processor
Dual-core processor delivers 4 times the punch. This new chip is smaller, faster, and more powerful. It has allowed Line 6 to run fuller, clearer models of guitar bodies and pickups; let all their models have alternate tunings; improved alternate tuning purity and speed; provided alternate tuning customization; and improved modes of operation and editing. The JVT sounds and responds surprisingly more like a traditional guitar.
Variax Workbench Software
Variax Workbench software is a virtual custom shop. This free software, which can be downloaded from the Line-6 web site, lets you create custom models on your computer and upload them to your JTV-59 via its built-in USB port. Choose from famous guitar bodies, pickups, pickup placement, tone and volume controls, and tweak away until you've designed the guitar of your dreams – without choking on sawdust!
This combination USB interface and software package for James Tyler Variax guitars allows you to see and hear the physical changes to your custom guitar in real-time. Ever wonder what a single-coil pickup would sound like on a hollow-body guitar tuned an octave down? Probably not. That's because it wasn't a reality – until now.
The Alt Tune Knob
Each James Tyler Variax modeling guitar has a dedicated Alt Tune knob. This knob has 12 settings, including two labeled "Model" and "Standard." Set to "Model," the Alt Tune knob lets you access the alternate tunings you created using Variax Workbench virtual guitar workbench software. These tunings are stored on your Variax's Model knob. Set to "Standard," the Alt Tune knob overrides saved tunings to set every model to standard "E-to-E" tuning. The Alt Tune knob's remaining 10 settings are the most commonly used tunings found in the popular genres of the day.
The Virtual capo feature lets you easily transpose any song to the key that suits you vocalist. And you can adjust your tuning on the fly without having to do on "Workbench" software.
Battery powered DSP
A proprietary lithium-ion battery delivers at least 12 hours of continuous performance. A 4-LED battery life meter lets you know how much rocking time you have left. Rolling down the volume knob when not playing will automatically put the DSP to sleep and helps maximize battery life. So even with your cable still plugged in, you will not be using battery power. DSP wakes up instantly when you turn the volume back up. The JTV-69 functions as a standard electric guitar whether the battery installed or not.

Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
First and foremost I would like to thank MF for thier time and exclent service they bent over backwards for me on this and it was greatly appreciated. The only way to put this was like when you breakup with that great girl friend, you know the one that was smoking hot but had breath that would knock over an elephant, or had a laugh that makes a baby cry! "its not you, its me"
Im neurotic, and my ears are just to old school, I have owned maybe 12+ guitars ranging from American made to the finest Japan has to offer in a Team J-craft Ibanez to just plain old korean made Telecaster. Sowith that to compair to, without a doubt I thought the JTV-69 is a great sounding guitar. On its own or with the variax system, the feel was great, the pickups are up there with some of the best Ive heard. The thing I loved most about this guitar hands down was the satin finish on the neck. I had no issues with the frets, or the variax button, like some have had. I really liked how it fit my big clumsy hand. I also had 2/3rds of the "Dream Rig" an HD500 to go with the JTV-69, and played this thing from morning to night for several days. Creating some excellent tones and textures, but at the end of the day it was my ears that could not buy the sound, and my head I could not wrap around the system. Not technical wise just sound wise, I did own a L6 X3Live befor this and used it with tube amps and a pair of Rokit 5's, so I was used to and prepaired for the tweaking. As cool of a system as it is I just could not do it. Now that being said would I recomend this guitar and system? Yes. Try it it out it may be the one for you, and for studio stuff this thing is a dream come true For players who need a wide veriaty of tones and sounds who could ask for more. So again like we all have had to tell that girl (or guy) friend at one time or another, that was the hottest, sexxiest, and the whole package, "its not you,.....its me ".

Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
When I first got this guitar, my son was playing my Martin DR through my Pod x3 live. Because I was hooked up through variax port on the Pod, we were both able to play at the same time, with the same effects and volume. I switched the Variax over to accoustic and set the tone for Martin and we could not tell the difference between the two. He was extremely impressed and believe me, he is 19 and nothing impresses him much! We played some Bob Seger and the variax would definitely fool an audience. Again, I could'nt tell which guitar was playing what. I also have a strat and I have played it for years. The variax model for the strat is fantastic. I haven't picked up my strat in months.
If you want a guitar for recording, go with an original. If you want a guitar for gigging, this is the most versatile guitar there is and adds a lot of tools to your toolbox. It's durable, well built and keeps it's tune better than any other guitar I own.
This guitar seems to be loved or hated, but in my opinion, it's the perfect gig guitar.

Here were my problems:
1)Sticky Guitar Model Selector. Had to take off knob to be able to push stem to activate Selector. It was like the knob was too big for the hole it is set into. Might have been able to fix this, but then, that's not MY job. Is it? I could have damaged it further in the process.
2)6th string buzzed and lost all volume from 2nd fret progressively worse to 12th. At 12th and above, sat right against 13th fret. Possibly remedied by raising bridge, but that would've taken an experienced tech with the tremolo bridge involved.
3)1st string fell off the fretboard with the slightest bend downward. How do you fix that?
4)Tremolo bar would pitch down, but not up...not even slightly. Was it set up wrong?
5)Guitar Model sounds were, IMO, mostly cheesy. Not sure they were authentic or not, but Banjo, Sitar, 12-string Acoustic and Reso models were not. If this is what these sounds were meant to be, I think they are sorely lacking.
6)Manual shipped with product was too basic. Should have printed and included the manuals available online.
I might have been able to get items 1) through 4) fixed. But 5) is what it is.I'm convinced---and disappointed---that this particular guitar was not tested or set up between time it came off the line til it reached my home. If it had been played even once, it would have undergone repair immediately. This one totally missed the quality control test.
I'd recommend finding a store that has two or more of each model desired to test before making purchase decision.
If I just got a lemon, sorry for the criticism.
On a better note, can't say enough good about MF's return process. Accepted the return with no (well, very few) questions asked. Cost me only return postage via UPS (not much), took about 10 minutes on the phone (haven't gotten final credit yet, but I assume that's on the way). If I thought I'd just gotten a lemon, I'd get another one shipped and try it out, but unfortunately, I think I'll just get a fancy effects pedal and another guitar for alternate tunings.

Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
I've only had this for two weeks, but that is enough to review it.
First, the guitar itself is quite nice, though I'm sure the USA made versions are somewhat better. This is still the same electronics (for the variax) as the more expensive models though and that is mainly what I got it for.
It stays in tune very well, as well as Ibanez guitars with zero-trems. (I don't do any radical dive bombing though)
Everyone wants to know if the modeled sounds are good... well, they are!
People want to know if the pitch-change works well, ... it does, so long as you don't radically alter pitch. For instance, the drop D, DADGAD and open G tunings are all very good. There is no noticeable delay between picking the note and hearing the altered pitch through your system.
However, there is a very noticeable "warbling" when extreme pitch changes are used, especially on the Baritone setting. I suspect that that is nearly impossible to fix with current chip-set speeds and bit depth. That's probably OK for kids who use tons of distortion. If you wanted to play clean country licks with the Baritone setting, forget it. The low notes have digital artifacts that even a beginner would hear.
The main thing I love about the guitar is that it is a GOOD guitar. Nice tuning machines, great bridge and trem, comfortable body, solid neck, nice fret work, and it plays in tune! Mine came almost perfect from the box, so I haven't tweaked it much yet, but I suspect it will be easy after looking at the fine components Mr Tyler designed. All the hardware is A+ quality.
The stock passive pickups are good too! Some may long for more power, others for more high end... that's always a trade off. Again Mr Tyler's experience shows here. The stock pickups sound very authentic. In fact, you can switch between the modeled strat and the pickups to hear there is little difference between the two.
Since alternate tunings ideally require different gauges of strings and a proper set-up on individual guitars, I have never messed around with them much. It is too expensive and too much hassle. About the only alt-tuning I have experience with is the Drop D and open G. So my personal reason for getting this was to experiment with other tunings. I find it especially helpful when students want to do new tunes by younger artists that always seem to favor alt tunings. For that purpose, this is a great time-saver and a great value.
I have a LOT of experience with real American Strats, Teles and Pauls, so I can attest those models are VERY authentic.
The acoustic models are quite good too, but they only sound really great through a FULL RANGE system. They are convincing enough through a regular guitar amp if you use a clean setting with ZERO distortion and the treble UP, but guitar amps never have the high-frequency content that acoustic simulation requires.
Therefore, I can recommend this to teachers, players who want different tunings and gigging musicians who need a versatile axe without carrying many guitars. If you intend to use the acoustic models much, be sure to use a full range system of some kind.
Complaints: Other than the digital glitches (warbling) on extreme pitch setting, I think the twelve-string models could be a little more in tune. It sounds like they intentionally detuned the octave strings to make the sound more "authentic." Perhaps that is what people want, but I would really prefer better intonation on 12 string settings.
So far, the battery life is as advertised, so I'm thrilled with that. My older model Line 6 variax ate batteries. The new technology has improved that greatly.
Overall, this guitar competes strongly with any other production guitar on the market, just as a plain guitar. When you add the modeling features, it becomes a no-brainer. Perhaps they will improve even more in the future as technology progresses, but I felt this was worth the investment now since it is almost perfect.
Unless the laws of physics suddenly change or human hearing evolves unexpectedly, this sounds as close to the real thing as you can get without investing MANY thousands. It sounds like great recordings of famous guitars.
At this price range, that is a heck of a deal.

Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
There are a few good things about the new JTV 69, and a lot of bad ones. First, it's digital and sounds like it. Im sure the kiddies will have fun playing with the knobs though. Most of the guitar models are weak, except for the ones you want. The Les paul, Strats, and tele's models are ok, but NO WHERE NEAR the original. The banjo, and Sitar are convincing. The 12 string electrics and acoustics are abizmal. The build is good except there is no relief for your hand at the nut on the trebble side. Look at how the headstock joins the guitar at the nut by the high, or first string, compared with EVERY other MFG. difficult due to the lack of space needed, and very obtrusive in the open positions. The Neck does feel good , but you WILL have to get used to the string spacing. The absolute best feature of the guitar is the tuning wheel. It works very well and has spaces for your own tunings. Hardly enough to justify the price tag though. Mt suggestion is to wait until the next generation comes out and they have had time to make the much needed adjustments. But you will still have to suffer through the sterile world of digital. I can see it being used in the studio, but thats about it. The virtual capo takes at least 15-20 seconds to finalize and is useless for live. Trust me...I wanted this guitar to work for me . I am tired of hauling the 4 guitars needed for my shows. The JTV 69 did not come close to giving me the tones I needed. True, there are bells and whistles, (most of which you will find sub par) but guess what... bells and whistles are CHEAP. Not the JTV 69. Do the right thing and buy the needed gear and disipline yourself like I have, and bring it to every show.

Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
This is my second Variax guitar and I have to say it is a major improvement over the Variax 500 that I have owned and gigged with for the last eight years. I decided to upgrade from my Variax 500 and Pod XT Live to the new Line 6 Dream rig so I purchased this JTV 69 along with a Pod HD500 and DT 25 112. The whole rig is outstanding. The guitar is a huge leap forward from my old one with a better feel, better neck, improved bridge, and tuners, and models that sound much improved. Having magnetic pickups is also a nice touch. The acoustic Models and the alternate tunings are just fantastic. I had to put in some time setting up the guitar for my tastes including just a bit of leveling on the frets,a neck adjustment, along with changing out the stock strings for the ones I usually use and re-intonating but that comes with almost any new guitar and between me and my luthier it was setup in a few days. Now I'm programming the complete setup for the band setlist. Great job Line 6!
Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
all and all A nice Guitar and some very Good usable sounds.....Plays well,allthough It took me a Little while to get use to the Neck and the string spacing..........But now everything seeems to be Going well...
good feature set..everythings there that you need.....
Build quality is very good.......Feels Good In your hands and Plays well.....Love having all the Sounds to write songs in my studio........a Great "All Around" Instrument.
Great value......where else are you going to have all these guitars and other stringed instuments,for this price........VERY Cool!
Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
Overall, I must rate it very high. The versatility offered by the JTV-69, with multiple guitar modeling and ability to instantly change tunings, is unique and valuable/ highly utilitarian to any musician. And in my opinion the quality is up there with the best (see above comments on quality). Without reservation, I would recommend this product to other musicians.
The sound output quality is excellent. Regarding features....the versatility is unparalleled in the emulation of many models of guitars, and the ability to instantly change tunings.
Extremely high quality in my opinion, including in comparison to some other leading brands of guitar that I own/have owned/have played. I have never found an instrument yet that was impossible to critique in some way, but I definitely feel this product holds its own among the best. Overall, I am quite impressed with the quality as related to the finish, playability, speed and feel of the fretboard, pickups, and pot controls.....again, considering it both standalone and in comparison to other leading brands.
Taking the quality and versatility into consideration versus price, my opinion is that the pricing offered by Musician's Friend on this item is a good value.
Comments about Line 6 JTV-69 Variax Electric Guitar:
I was never a fan of the first generation of Variax guitars. They were ugly, not very playable, and if the batteries were dead in them, you were stuck with a boat paddle, or a "crowd control device"Enter the Tyler Variax - designed by one of the best boutique guitar makers ever, James Tyler. And they also have standard magnetic pickups that work like a normal guitar, as well as all Tyler designed hardware. YES!The JTV-69 is the perfect guitar for the average working guitarist like me -- I am not a grammy winning touring guitarist who has a rack of guitars and a tech to hand them to him. I work 3-4 nites a week playing bars, private parties, corporate gigs, and studio sessions.The Tyler Variax allows me to carry ONE guitar that can cover dozens of sounds and tunings. I can switch from a Tele in open G tuning for a Stones song, to a Les Paul and Marshall for Guns & Roses, and to a Sitar for some trippy 60s hippy action.I have played the 89, the 69, and the 59 models of these guitars. The 69 is my favorite, followed by the 59, and the shredder 89 coming in third.The new generation of variax electronics are MUCH better than the first ones, and you can FINALLY do alternate tunings on a knob that are not tied to whatever model you are using.Overall, this guitar gets a 9 out of 10. I think the frets need a little more final polishing, and the guitar needs to be set up by a pro to YOUR specs once you buy it.But this guitar, paired with the HD500 pedalboard makes a MONSTER of a rig. This is the future, might as well get on board now!

Gov. Robert Bentley chaired the first meeting of the newly-appointed Athens State Board of Trustees Friday.
In September of 2012, Governor Bentley appointed eight people to serve on the Athens State board. This is the first time the school will be led by its own board since it transferred from the purview of the Methodist Church to the State of Alabama in 1975, becoming a public school.
Athens State University President Bob Glenn called it an historic day for the school.
"We assembled an extraordinary slate of candidates from which Governor Bentley made his decision to fill the eleven positions on the board," Glenn said. "We were humbled by those civic leaders, alumni, and friends of the University who came forward to offer their support to our great institution. The Governor's decision exemplifies the talent needed to promote our mission."
Athens State is unique in that it is one of five remaining upper-level collegiate institutions in the United States. The University offers coursework at the junior and senior level and awards bachelor's degrees from three colleges - Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education.

Generally, it is easiest to have clients administer the allergen-specific immunotherapy at home with subcutaneous injections
(see the client handout "Allergen-specific immunotherapy: 4 easy steps for home administration" ). Some veterinarians and owners are reluctant to do so, but most clients can easily administer the injections, and most dogs
will readily tolerate this therapy. The most demanding protocols start with an injection given every other day and end with
maintenance injections being given every seven to 30 days. This treatment protocol is certainly less demanding than that needed
to treat a diabetic dog or cat.
Next, demonstrate how to give the injections. Use saline solution if the demonstration is done on the day of an intradermal
skin test because if a reaction occurs that day it can be determined that the reaction was from the intradermal test and not
from the injection. If a client is picking up the allergen solution after a blood allergy test or at least a day after an
intradermal test, then do the demonstration by administering the first dose listed on the immunotherapy protocol so the dog
can be observed for any immediate reaction while in the clinic. The client then should practice the injection in front of
the instructor with saline solution.
The injections are usually given in the dorsal lateral caudal cervical area, or the nape of the neck. It is helpful to vary
the injection locations so that the same site is not repeatedly injected. The injections can be rotated to alternate sides
of the neck as well as given slightly more cranial and caudal. Some dermatologists have the client locate the center of the
neck and vary the injection sites by visualizing a clock and giving subsequent injections at the various hours rotating consecutively
around the clock. If the injection location is not varied, pain or persistent swelling and increased skin thickness may occur,
though these problems are rare.

...some claim that the benefits of this economic boom are being enjoyed only by the relatively well-off, and that we have left the rest of our workforce behind. Is this true? Over the last 25 years, the wages of the skilled have continued to grow faster than the wages of the less skilled. For example, the wages of the college-educated have grown by 22% since 1980, while the wages of high-school drop-outs has fallen by 3%.This does not mean, however, that the rich are benefiting at the expense of the poor. Instead, it means that the return to investing in education and training continues to grow.
The data show that it is this greater return to investing in education that is driving the long-run widening of the income distribution. The cause is not increases in immigration or international trade, as some have alleged. First, wages for less-skilled workers have not declined with growing trade, even in sectors of the economy with the greatest import competition. Second, some of the groups that have experienced the highest wage growth have also seen increased immigration swelling their ranks. Silicon Valley is full of highly paid immigrants and native-born Americans who work side-by-side, earning very high salaries in the high-tech sectors of our economy. For less-skilled workers, studies suggest that immigration has only a modest effect on wages of the native-born. Third, those who have examined the data systematically find that trade and immigration can account for at most a small proportion of the increased wage spread that has occurred over the past 25 years.
Over the last 25 years, the wages of the skilled have continued to grow faster than the wages of the less skilled.
Education is not a panacea; it increases the supply of educated people, not the demand, and it does not affect the demand for unskilled labor.

The Indian Hills golf team finished in fourth place overall after the final round of the NJCAA Division I Preview Tournament in Lubbock, Texas.
The Warriors carded 302 as a team in Tuesday's third and final round on the par-72 Rawls Golf Course. IHCC's final team score was 893, six shots behind third-place Dodge City and six shots ahead of fifth-place Western Texas.
Warrior coach Mike Hagen said his team's play just wasn't consistent enough.
"We would dig ourselves a little hole," the coach said, "and then we would fight back and get going, and then we would drop a couple of shots. It was just a crazy couple of days for us."
Odessa won the tournament, leading from start to finish and posting a final team score of 870, while McLennan was just one shot back at 871. McLennan was seven shots back after two rounds.
IHCC's William White finished tied for 10th place with a score of 219, nine shots behind individual medalist Micah Rodgers of Odessa, who shot 210. McLennan's Andrew Hans was second, two shots behind Rodgers.
IHCC's Colin Pearson, playing as an individual, finished 12th overall with a score of 220. Connor Peck was 18th with a 223, Ben Ludlam carded 228 to place 28th, Mitch Tucker carded 229 to place 33rd and Kevin Workman shot 230 to place 39th.
Hagen said the one positive his team could take from an otherwise disappointing performance is that despite not playing up to their capabilities, the Warrior linksters still had a chance to take first going into the final round of the tournament.
"We're going to work hard and be ready in May," Hagen said.

Oak Park School names new principal
Date: December 21, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Five-year Venice High School Assistant Principal Ronald DiPillo has been selected as the new principal of Oak Park School.
He will succeed Dan Parrett, who is retiring in January 2010.
A native of Youngstown, Ohio, DiPillo received his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics and economics from Youngstown State University. He also studied educational leadership at the University of South Florida and is scheduled to receive a doctoral degree in education from Argosy University, Sarasota, in 2010.
DiPillo said he excited by the prospect of following Parrett.
"The success of Oak Park School is a district priority, and I am very proud to be selected to follow such a great leader," he said. "I believe that the students of Oak Park deserve the same access to an enriched instructional environment as all other Sarasota students. I hope to emulate Mr. Parrett in many ways and to maintain the momentum that he has created."

Grad School Application Checklist: 10 Months Out
It's time to keep paring down your list of prospective graduate schools.
This is the third installment of our series on what you should be doing in advance of submitting your graduate school applications. Remember: You do not want to wait until the last minute to pull everything together. This usually ends up with you rushing, making unnecessary mistakes, and thereby lessening your chances of being admitted.
Here are 5 suggestions for what to do 10 months before your application deadlines:
1. Complete your research spreadsheet: For more on what that entails, see last week's post on what to do 11 months out. At this point, you should be filling in every column on the spreadsheet for each of the options, such as how responsive prospective schools are and how easily navigable their websites are.
As you go along, you will likely eliminate some programs on your list. That is OK. As a consumer, you should be engaging in comparison shopping. This is the time to do your due diligence and get as much information as you can.
[Learn what you should be doing 12 months before applying to grad school.]
2. Create a general ranking of remaining options: After you complete the entire spreadsheet, it's time to rank the remaining prospective programs that have made the cut. Start with No. 1 and go through the list. Or, if you prefer, group your options: top group, second group, third group, etc.
At this point in your research, you should have at least five options left that you are excited about. Hopefully, you will have many more than five; however, depending on the type of graduate program you seek, the number of options will vary.
My point is that you are still not at the place where you need to have a short list. With 10 months remaining before you need to submit your grad applications, you will have several opportunities to narrow your list.
3. Assess the general ranking you've constructed: As you look over the new list you created, ask yourself if the ranking is truly based on what you feel. Did you get enough information to complete your ranking? Did you fill in all of the columns in your spreadsheet? If not, this is the time to take another dive into the research.
[Read about four graduate school myths debunked.]
4. Don't consider your list set in stone: This next tip isn't something you need to do, so much as an attitude to embrace. You should feel free to change your spreadsheet evaluations at any point in your application checklist process.
As you learn more about your prospective schools, and as you have further contact with them, it's only natural that you will decide to move some up or down on your overall list. That is another great reason to take plenty of time to do your research. First impressions, while important, are often subject to change.
5. Consider taking a grad-level course or two: Perhaps you were an undergraduate student a while ago, or you may have received your bachelor's degree very recently but aren't comfortable with your undergraduate GPA. If either of those things are true, you should register at a local institution as a non-degree student and take one or two courses.
The courses need not relate directly to your intended field of study. A basic English, history, math, or philosophy course will be fine. If you earn an A or B in the course, be sure to alert the graduate school admissions committees when you submit your applications. The officials will likely take it as an indication that you are able to perform well as a student at this point in your educational career.

TIMES TRIBUNE (CORBIN, Ky.)
By Chris Parsons / The Endzone Staff
BEREA — The Whitley County Colonels took one on the chin Friday as Madison Southern's Damien Harris made good on the hype surrounding him this season.
Harris, a University of Michigan signee, rushed for 257 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Eagles to a 56-14 win over Whitley County, sending Jim Black's squad to an 0-2 start for the second time in five seasons.
After the win, Black was not only disappointed with the loss, he was apologetic for the play of his team.
"I apologize to the fans that came up here and watched us because that wasn't football," Black said. "We didn't execute, we didn't follow the game-plan that we laid out for the game and there was really no excuse for the way they played.
"It was the worst football I've ever seen since I've coached at Whitley County," Black said. "I'll give credit to the underclassmen because they came in and showed more fire and determination than our older kids. I can lose 56-14 with a jayvee team, so I'll play the kids that want to play."
The Colonels looked poised to challenge Madison Southern when they opened the game with a six-minute drive, but took a step back when the drive stalled with no points to show from it.
The Eagles answered with a nine-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by Harris' first touchdown of the game when he scored from four yards out to put his team on top, 7-0.
Madison Southern struck again in the second quarter when Tyler Hagan broke free for a 66-yard touchdown run to push the lead to 14-0 with just under seven minutes to play in the first half.
That's when things got ugly in a hurry.
Harris tallied two more touchdowns in the final 3:29 of the second quarter, scoring from 66 and 86 yards to give the Eagles a 35-0 lead at halftime.
Harris didn't waste any time getting things started in the second half when he broke free for his fifth touchdown of the game, this time from 46 yards out to stretch the lead to 42-0 just 14 seconds into third quarter.
Hagan would add two more touchdowns before Whitley County got on the scoreboard as Austin Hooper scored on a 78-yard touchdown run to trim the gap to 56-7. The Colonels added one more score to make the final score 56-14.
Things won't get any easier for Black's squad, which will host Bell County next week at Colonels Stadium. As his focus shifts to the Bobcats, Black said he'll be happy to play at home, but said whether the fans show up is another subject.
"It'll be great to be able to play at home, but after this I'm not sure if any of the fans will show up to watch," Black said. "I know I wouldn't spend my hard-earned money to watch a team like this play the kind of football we played."

|ISRPA Pistol Team
|Written by Jerry Wehner - Team Captain
|Tuesday, 15 January 2013 19:11
Just like the US Marine Corps the ISRPA Conventional Pistol Team is looking "For a few good men, or women". Are you up to the challenge?
Unlike many other states who choose their teams from whomever might be attending the match that day, Indiana feels that the team is much more coherent and shoots better if the members know each other and have practiced as a team before the day of the match.
This seems to prove itself in the fact that most of the time the ISRPA Team comes away from the match having done very well or quite often placing "in the money". Just this year at Camp Perry the 2 member expert class team, consisting of Thomas Jordan and Steven Pardieck won the .22, CF, and .45 caliber as well as the Aggregate 2 member matches.
So what's in it for the individual team members? Truthfully probably not a great deal if you're looking for material things. There's the fellowship and camaraderie of the team as well as the pride in knowing that you are a member of a state team. After all how many material benefits are there in most shooting matches? If you are in it for the money, then I'm sorry, you're in the wrong game!
The team shoots basically 3 shoulder to shoulder matches per year; the Bristol, IN Regional, Camp Perry National Matches, and the Evansville, IN Regional, that's assuming that there are enough members present at each of those matches. There have been times, in the past, where there were 3 separate teams which competed at the Bristol Regional. The team has 3 practice sessions per year. They are held at the Muncie R&P Club's indoor range on the first Saturday of January, February and March.
There are several coaches available both during practice sessions and matches, they are: Col. Charles Wilhelm (Ret USA), Lee Ornat, Michael Kiger, and Kevin Myers. Lee, Michael and Kevin also serve as firing members at times.
The Team furnishes the members caps, shirts, a notebook (with shooting articles, tips and exercises), and team entry fees. Members are expected to attend practices and matches as much as possible (everyone realizes that work and family commitments have to come first); help with team duties even if you are not selected as a firing member at any particular match; wear blue slacks (not jeans), team shirts and caps during the team matches; and other than that show up and enjoy yourself.
You don't have to be a master shooter to qualify; there are shooters in all classifications on the team. The coaches put together the firing team roster for the match and select members from various classifications to make up what they feel is the most viable team for that particular day. Just because you are a team member does not mean that you will be a firing team member for any particular match, just as with any other team, sometimes you play and sometimes you don't!
Think you're up to the challenge? If so let the Colonel, Kevin, or me know and we'll take it from there. Our contact information is available in the ISRPA Officers and Directors section of this magazine. Hope to hear from you.

I don't have celiac and I am not sensitive to gluten. However, following a recent trip to Italy, and a week on non-stop pasta eating, I decided to go gluten-free for a week just to see how I would feel. At the end of the week, I felt like I was less bloated and generally had more energy.
Gluten is the substance in foods (specifically, breads and pastas) that makes them chewy. For some reason, more and more people are becoming sensitive to wheat products and gluten. Scientists have come up with a variety of possible reasons. Firstly, we are eating too much wheat. Apparently, Americans are the fourth largest consumers of wheat in the world and consumption has been steadily increasing since the 1950s. According to the US Department of Agriculture, annual average grain consumption was 45% higher in 2000 than in the 1970s (www.usda.gov/factbook/chapter2.pdf). Secondly, we are eating a smaller variety of grains than our ancestors did. Finally, we may be reacting to wheat that has been genetically modified or is full of pesticides.
Reactions to gluten can range from mild sensitivities to full-blown celiac disease. Foods which contain gluten are: any wheat products (including spelt, durum wheat, bulgur and farro), barley, rye and, sometimes, oats. Gluten-free grains are: rice, buckwheat (related to rhubarb and not wheat), quinoa, corn and millet.
After my experiment, I realized that - as with most things in life - moderation is best. While I do enjoy bread and pasta, I have decided to limit my intake of wheat products to once or twice a week. I feel it's a good way to give my digestive system a break and allows me to experiment cooking with other grains. That said, I do make sure to stay away from the gluten-free processed foods, sugary snacks and cereals, which seem to have become quite the fad lately.

Chris Oldroyd's most-used accessories of 2011
When I was asked to put together a list of my most-used accessories of 2011, it got me thinking that I actually don't use very many accessories at all. In total I have four that I use on a regular basis. Here's a little bit about each one and why they are special to me.
Brodit iPhone 4S mount
There are a large variety of car mounts for the iPhone but Brodit from Sweden has been my number one mounting solution for the last ten years. It is an incredible mount that works beautifully. It comes in two parts, a Proclip that is specific to the make and model of car you own. They are available for different mounting positions within your car, you choose where you want your device and buy the Proclip to suit. Installing it is simple, no drilling or damage to your car interior, each clip is designed to be pushed into position and held in place by your cars dashboard surround.
Once you have the Proclip installed, the Brodit mount screws into that and it is a really secure fit. The mounts are available in different configurations, some come with a 12V car plug, some with pass through connectors and some as just passive mounts. Whichever one you choose, it will be precision made, lined with soft padding and will fit perfectly. If you want a car mount, don't bother with any other!
- Price varies Brodit link
Kensington LiquidAUX For iPhone And iPod
Of the many car audio interfaces for iPhone, the Kensington LiguidAUX is my favorite. My VW Passatt has a 3.5mm input for an iPod or iPhone but I really dislike having a charger in the bottom of my iPhone and another cable coming out of the 3.5mm jack. To get round this, I use a Kensington LiquidAUX. This doubles as a car charger but also takes the audio from the dock connector and transfers that to a 3.5mm input for your car stereo. This give you the flexibility to make all the cabling in your car much neater all round. The Kensington LiquidAUX also comes with a small remote control that you can fix to your steering wheel. This gives you the ability to skip tracks and play and pause without your hands leaving the wheel. It's hard to find now, so if anyone knows of something similar, let me know in the comments.
- $164.29 - Amazon link
iPhone 4S dock
iPhone docks are essential. When my iPhone 4S isn't in my hand, it will be in its dock at the side of my bed, that's where it charges and syncs all my data to iCloud during the night. I have tried third party docks and none are as nice as the Apple dock. Yes it is expensive but you only get what you pay for. It feels solid, it fits perfectly and looks beautiful.
- $23.99 - Amazon link
Marware CEO Hybrid for iPad 2
I hate cases and refuse to have one on my iPhone 4S, unfortunatley the iPad 2 gets lot more rough treatment by my 2 year old so a case is a must for this. I considered many options but the Marware CEO Hybrid stood out for a few different reasons.
First off is the fact that it works like an Apple Smart Cover, when you open it, the screen turns on. Secondly, it covers all areas of the device, it isn't the slimmest case in the world, but it protects all angles. I have dropped it a few times on the road outside of my house and the case took the damage and the iPad 2 is perfect. The final reason is how it looks, a carbon fibre look, black and sexy. It really makes your iPad 2 look the part!
- $27.55 - Amazon link
There are 21 comments. Add yours.
Put the first proclip in my car then my wife's 2 weeks later - she just told me it's one of the best things ever. Puts the phone in the best place to see and make one touch calls from. Won't be without this on future cars!
Currently in the market for a car mount. Taking a really close look at the Proclip. Thanks for sharing.
Have had the same proclip mount in my car for 5 years and 13 different devices. Will never buy a different mounting solution!
Great article, thanks.
Here's another idea for a car mount. You're almost certainly not using the CD slot when using your iPhone. The Mountec fits in that slot and holds the iPhone really nicely. $20 direct or through Amazon.
You really don't need to pay $165 for a charger/aux cable. I got a no-name 30pin to USB+3.5mm Y-cable from Amazon for $5. A lighter socket USB adapter costs another $8.
You've made some great choices! I'm def looking into that car mount.
I have a dash mount for my 2006 Honda civic, with a " double T" connector on it that allows for swivel.
The mount came from proclip.
Then from Arkon I picked up a universal holder that worked back when I had a droid1, and still worked perfect when I got a Verizon iphone4. it works with a case on it. It's called "slim-grip" holds any phone securely.
Proclip is great but expensive once your get the 2 parts together.
I've used proclip products since 2005.
Between Arkon and ProClip, if they don't have it you don't need it.
I believe proclip is known as Brodit in Canada.
LOVE my ProClip! Concur with everyone else who had good things to say about it.
You've used a car mount kit for ten years on a phone that's only five years old?
Math...... It confuses us.
I remember there being mobile devices mounted in cars (including phones) before the iPhone.
History...... I confuses us.
I got a Kensington 2-in-1 for my car's aux jack. At $27 on Amazon, it's a steal compared to the LiquidAux. Doesn't have the remote but I'm willing to put up with that and save $125.
so added to the wish list, but at ebay i find them at similar prices... ill have to think about it
Used to have the Kensington LiquidAux Deluxe (combined the one above with a mount from the lighter socket). The mount broken fairly quickly and the batteries in that remote don't last more than 2 weeks.
In the end I went with this option from Griffin (The Aux cable plugs into the adapter, not the iPhone, so there is still only one iPhone connection):http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SX0O34/ref=oho04s00i02details
So far the connection from that has been great and the plug even fits the Apple bumper.
As for a mount, I looked into ProClip but decided it was too expensive and went with this cupholder mount:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JTWRN8/ref=oho04s00i01details
It holds the iPhone rock steady, but instead of holding it firmly it cradles the phone which makes it easy to set down and pick up. The only downside of course is the low position.
my 15 year old would love it.. esp since his dad is ten sheets to the wind. gotta love red wine....red, red wine it makes me feel so fine" and make me go "what?" after amazon orders and 6pm, etc....
Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I've really loved browsing your weblog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I am hoping you write once more soon!
We are a group of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our community. Your website provided us with valuable info to work on. You have done a formidable activity and our whole group can be thankful to you.
