Merlin Industries R4RRESC Rectangle 4' Radius Right End Step Safety Cover
Short Description
20' x 40' Rectangle SmartMesh Safety Cover with 4' Radius Corners and Right 4' x 8' Side Step - 45M-T-GR
Pool Cover Features:
A Smarter Safety Cover: For years pool professionals have been looking for a safety cover that fulfills all of their customer's needs. Wouldn't it be great if there was a cover that combined all the pros of mesh and solid covers and eliminated all the cons? Merlin is proud to offer SmartMesh. A patented mesh safety cover whose time has clearly come! It's like putting a filter over your pool!Only from Merlin: Developed by the Merlin R&D team and a leading material manufacturer, SmartMesh is not just another mesh cover. This revolutionary product will give you an edge over your competition. Offer your customers something different, something that works. Once again, Merlin Industries listens to the feedback of our dealers and their customers and produces an innovative and patented product to meet their needs.
Some of the Specs:
That is why we developed SmartMesh. A truly unique mesh material, SmartMesh provides 100% shade from the algae causing rays of the sun, while still allowing rain and melting snow to pass through the cover material. This material is so special we were granted a U.S. Patent!
100% shade is not all SmartMesh provides you. SmartMesh filters debris as small as 40 microns. To give you a comparison, a typical sand filter for a pool filters debris as small as 20 to 30 microns. SmartMesh is like having a filter over your pool!
SmartMesh is also much lighter than a solid safety cover. Approximately 40% lighter! SmartMesh is easy to put on and take off.
SmartMesh is the ultimate in convenience and function when it comes to safety covers. It is no wonder all of our competitors are trying to copy this one of a kind cover material. Make sure your cover says Merlin. Make sure you get Patented SmartMesh. Look for our U.S. Patent number on the brochures and web-sites of our competition. You will probably see our patent number and the shade percentage their material provides. No other safety cover on the market provides 100% shade. Don't settle for anything less!
Merlin SmartMesh Patent Number - U.S. Patent 6,866,187 - 100% Shade
Merlin's SmartMesh covers carry a 15 year limited warranty against manufacturing and material defects. You can be sure your family, your pool, and your investment will be safe and secure for years to come.
Standard Safety Cover Equipment:
What is the difference between Mesh and Solid Safety Covers? Mesh Safety Covers: The mesh material is generally lighter and easier to handle than solid material, which means you will have an easier time installing or removing the safety cover from your swimming pool. The mesh material also allows rain water and melting snow to drain through the cover into the swimming pool.
Solid Safety Covers: The solid material comes with the advantage of preventing all sunlight and fine particles from entering the swimming pool. This helps to keep your swimming pool water cleaner during winter by preventing dirt and algae accumulation. Because the cover is made from a solid material, a mesh drain panel or a cover pump is needed to drain rain water and melting snow from its surface.
Why should I buy a Safety Cover for my swimming pool?
Why would I need a Custom Cover? Why won't this stock cover work for our pool?

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

Blogger Jason Price recounts the ups and downs of his backyard chicken rearing adventure.
In The Energy Basis of Food Security I note how tightly linked food prices are to energy prices, pointing out that the primary reason for this link is that food production is incredibly energy intensive. A series of recent posts have explored the energy intensity of different modes of food transport within food systems, and these have attracted a fair amount of attention. This doesn't surprise me as many in the local food movement value highly the fuel savings attributed – sometimes falsely – to reducing the number of 'food miles' associated with their grocery lists. While I'm all for reducing the energy demands associated with food production, I think the singular attention given to the issue of food miles is misguided, and I'll use this post to explain why.

WASHINGTON (AP) â€" A string of fiery train derailments across the country has triggered a high-stakes but behind-the-scenes campaign to shape how the government responds to calls for tighter safety rules. Billions of dollars are riding on how these rules are written, and lobbyists from the railroads, tank car manufacturers and the oil, ethanol and chemical industries have met 13 times since March with officials at the White House and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The pitches illustrate why government officials, who must show that safety benefits outweigh the economic costs of rules, often struggle for years, only to produce watered-down regulations. Since 2008, there have been 10 significant derailments in the U.S. and Canada in which crude oil has spilled from ruptured tank cars, often resulting in huge fireballs. A year ago this month, a runaway train with 72 tank cars of crude en route from the Bakken to a refinery in Canada hurtled into the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, exploded and killed 47 people. The ethanol industry, including agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland, has told regulators that if tank car standards must be strengthened, the new requirements should apply only to crude oil, Dinneen said. The chemical industry, which ships both flammable and nonflammable liquids in tank cars, has told regulators that if they propose a new tank car standard, it should be phased in, starting with oil shipments. Rather than new rules for tank cars, the oil and ethanol industries want regulators to turn their attention to whether railroads should do more to prevent accidents.

Lynn Ritchie is a contemporary women's wear designer whose unique way with color and prints has won her a devoted following. Sales of her collection, currently sold in more than 1500 specialty stores throughout the US, are consistently strong. Ritchie's customers look to her for exciting, fun, and well-made pieces to add spice to their wardrobe.
"I always design my pieces with attitude," said Ritchie. "The right fabric and fit, combined with an exciting or dramatic color, print or texture can have a profound affect on the way you feel. Dressing should be about so much more than comfort. It's a sensual experience."
Ritchie, who targets the rapidly growing better-to-bridge market, feels her signature patterns and designs fill a unique niche.
Ritchie's creative talent is in her genes. Her grandmother was a well-known custom-women's wear designer on Chicago's famed Gold Coast at the turn of the century. Ritchie's mother, while fulfilling the traditional role of homemaker, also managed to run a thriving millinery business from home.
Ritchie's memories of growing up in Wheaton, IL, revolve more around fabric shopping and art museum trips to Chicago than homework or suburban life. She made all of her own school and holiday outfits and won many local competitions. As a senior in high school, Ritchie entered a national design competition sponsored by The American Wool Council and won the Most Fashionable Award.
Like so many others, Ritchie yearned to be in the center of the action and after a brief stint at Washington University's Fashion School (location) she transferred to New York' Parsons School of Design. Ritchie's graduated from Parson's in 1967. During the next twenty years, she honed her design skills and learned the fashion business at numerous 7th Avenue fashion houses.
Ritchie founded Lynn Ritchie Corporation in 1990 by dying high-quality silk tops in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, because she "believed there was a need for them in the marketplace." The designer slowly expanded to prints, new fabrics, skirts and other items.
According to Ritchie, her company is like herself – it never stands still. "My business is my lifestyle," said Ritchie. "I like change –that's what makes my life fun. My clothes reflect that."
Lynn lives in New York City with her husband, a successful actor, and her dog, Pumpkin. She travels extensively, most notably throughout Asia, and loves to garden, listen to jazz, and practice yoga and Pilates and dance.

WordPress MU enables you to build a complete, professional blog network. Each user gets their own blog, and can choose their favorite templates and plug-ins, and develop their own content. WordPress MU powers some of the largest blog networks in the world, including the mighty WordPress.com – home to thousands of bloggers.
This book will take you through the setup of a WordPress MU-powered blogging network, using a real, working blog network as an example, so that you can follow the creation process step-by-step. Your blogging network will be complete with professional features such as friends lists, status feeds, groups, forums, photo galleries, and more, to build your own WordPress.com – a place where users can quickly come and create a blog for themselves.
The book starts with a clean install of WordPress MU, and as you work through the book, you will build the blog network, and add on more and more features, all seamlessly integrated to achieve a professional, custom-built look.
You will find new themes and plug-ins added to the site, as well as customization of the WordPress multi-user code. The book will also look at ways you can manage your community, and keep your site safe and secure, ensuring that it is a spam-free, enjoyable community for your users. In the later chapters, you will add a forum using the bbPress script, and add BuddyPress social networking components to your site.
Imagine how good you'll feel when your first WordPress multi-user blog network launches.
A comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to creating, optimizing, and maintaining a blog network
Packed with easy-to-follow examples and screenshots, this book is designed to be followed from beginning to end, although those with existing WordPress MU sites will be able to jump in at the later chapters and pick out the things that are important to them. The author's expertise with creating a wide variety of WordPress sites enables her to share insights on using WordPress effectively, in a clear and friendly way. Those interested in digging further will be given the chance to customize their site further. Throughout the book, you will build up a blog network for Vampire Slayers – SlayerCafe.com, as an example.
Who this book is for
If you wish to manage multiple blogs and build a blog network, then this book is for you. You are not expected to be experienced with PHP coding. Some knowledge of HTML, and some experience with the blogging and social networking world will be helpful, but not essential.

Basketball - Boys Varsity
Captains: TBA
The competitiveness of prep school basketball has risen to the highest level in the country. Berkshire has been keeping pace with the rising talent level and continues to produce student athletes who are able to compete both academically and athletically at all division levels. Coach Peter Kinne's thirty plus years of coaching experience has allowed him to connect with college coaches from a wide variety of top academic and athletic schools, including but not limited to Williams, Colby, Stony Brook, URI, Wisconsin, UNH, Quinnipiac, Penn and Yale.
The team is generally made up of a mix of college-level players as well as athletes who may go on to excel in a different sport in college. The Bears love an up-tempo, pressing style of play, which has helped the team win several Tri-State League championships along with multiple berths in the New England Class B championship. Berkshire currently competes in the Western New England Basketball conference, which includes all of the area's best prep school programs. The team will also participate in the Bob Southall Christmas tournament at Loomis December 19 and 20. This trip will allow for some extra exposure to New England college coaches.
Basketball at Berkshire is demanding but we never lose sight of what is important as our program educates the whole student, not just for sport or school but for life.
December 2013: This year's squad has several newcomers who should mix nicely with the few returners from last year's team. The newcomers to the team this season are Cyrus Rothwell- Ferraris a high flying forward from Hanover New Hampshire; Troy Pierre-Louis a 1000 point scoring point guard from Rhode Island; and Levante Wiggins a local addition from near-by St. Joseph's High School in Pittsfield. The experience and skill brought by these new players, as well as a returning starter Christopher Cooke, an experienced guard in TJ Stewart, along with several other new players like Colin Fuss, Ben Brigham, Jay Ma, Trevor Berry, Nim Farhood, Ben Akim, and Will Fortenbaugh leads the coaches to believe that the winter campaign for 2013-14 will be a bright one.
Where Some Bears are playing:
In recent years, Berkshire has graduated players who have gone on to play Division I (URI, Dartmouth, UPENN, Maine). Currently Berkshire has players at Trinity College, Stony Brook, St. Lawrence, and Sage.

Heaves in Horses
- By Stacey Oke, DVM, MSc
- Feb 04, 2013
Heaves is a common equine respiratory condition most frequently diagnosed in horses 8 years of age and older. Also called recurrent airway obstruction, heaves is similar to asthma in humans. Inhalation of allergens and irritants that exist in the horse's environment cause inflammation, mucus accumulation, and constriction of the horse's airways. Common allergens and irritants that induce RAO include mold spores from straw bedding and hay, small molecules, and other irritants like ammonia.
During the early stages, horses with heaves tend to cough and might also be exercise-intolerant. After a year or two, the horse will have an increased respiratory effort. If the condition is severe enough, a heavy horse will also lose weight because of the difficulty of eating while trying to breathe.

Drumwright honored by Henricus
George T. Drumwright, Jr. may have retired from his position as deputy county manager for Henrico.
But on Sept. 14, Drumwright's friends at Henricus Historical Park let him know emphatically that he will not be allowed to retire from his role as a Henricus Foundation board member and long-time volunteer.
At a reception honoring Drumwright and celebrating the opening of 2012 Publick Days, friends, family, colleagues and fellow members of the Henricus Foundation Board of Trustees gathered to dedicate the Drumwright Education Fund, a component of the Henricus Annual Fund that will enable the Foundation to expand interactive history program offerings for students.
Drumwright's colleagues also presented him with gifts and mementos, and spoke at length about his 25 years of contributions to the park.
Henricus Executive Director Charles Lewis Grant pointed out that when Drumwright first became involved, the park was just a place "covered in vines."
Today, Henricus boasts a dozen re-created colonial structures, including a hospital, parsonage, tobacco barn and planter's house.
"But it's not just about the buildings," emphasized John Siddall, chairman of the Henricus Foundation. "It's about the 25,000 schoolchildren that come through here every year."
And the Drumwright Education Fund, added Grant, will help students from the most disadvantaged schools gain access to park programs.
"If they can't get here," said Grant, "we go to them."
Jurisdictional cooperation
Siddall, who led off his remarks by telling Drumwright, "The first thing I want to say is you are not retiring from here," also praised Drumwright's role in supporting the partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico counties that has helped made the park so successful.
Through a fluke of history, said Siddall, both counties own land in Henricus -- even though today's park lies south of the James River in what is technically Chesterfield.
During the Civil War, Union troops began digging a new channel near the James so they could bypass Confederate fortifications that blocked approaches to Richmond. The new channel, completed after the war, left a part of Henrico across the river — surrounded by water.
"Because of this, we benefit," said Siddall, "and not only because we have this beautiful bluff. We also benefit from a great partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico; we get the support of both counties."
Ken Perry, former chairman of the board, noted that Drumwright had first visited the site in 1977. "I visited this site in 1985," said Perry, "and we both saw the same things: a bunch of trees and a beautiful river view."
He and Drumwright worked together on the board for 15 years, said Perry, during which the jurisdictional cooperation was "marvelous."
'He knew every inch'
Dorothy Jaeckle, vice chairman of the board, recalled that when first elected to the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, she was taken aback by the number of boards on which she was expected to serve, and overwhelmed by the steep learning curve required to learn about the various organizations.
Appointed to the Henricus board because the park was in her district, Jaeckle said that joining a board with Drumwright only magnified her feelings of inadequacy.
"George was the one," she said, "who took the sickle and cleared the way in [to the historical area]. He knew every last inch of this place." But her feelings of inadequacy were soon eased, said Jaeckle, because Drumwright was so clearly passionate about the park, and made it clear that he wanted only to share his knowledge of it with others.
Chesterfield County Manager Jay Stegmaier, noting that Henricus was recently named the best park in Central Virginia by readers of Richmond.com, credited Drumwright with being one of the key players that helped the park succeed.
"You've become an icon for Central Virginia," Stegmaier told Drumwright, jokingly inviting him to use a sword to carve his initials in a tree on the site. "[Henricus] is a treasure for Chesterfield and Henrico County, and it's rapidly becoming a treasure for the entire country."
"And," added Stegmaier, echoing the previous speakers, "we're not going to let you totally retire."
A radiant light
In thanking his colleagues for gifts that included colonial-era replicas of a hat and a lantern, Drumwright cited "huge support" from the community as his inspiration, and noted that like the lantern, Henricus had blossomed from a tiny spark of a concept into a radiant light.
Only days before, said Drumwright, students visiting the park from Lucille Brown Middle School had been using a newly re-created platform overlooking the bluff to calculate the trajectory of cannon fire needed to bridge the river – demonstrating just one of the unique hands-on lessons that the park provides to schoolchildren.
Upon being presented with a sword, Drumwright reminisced about his first job in Norfolk, during which he occasionally perched on the rails of a replica ship and played the role of pirate.
"We used to break these swords once a week," he said, "fighting each other."
Everything a miracle
As the celebration moved into the dinner-and-music phase – featuring favorite Drumwright band Steve Bassett and Friends – incoming Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas read a letter from Tuckahoe Supervisor and fellow Henricus board member Pat O'Bannon, who could not be present at the celebration.
Addressing Drumwright, O'Bannon wrote, "Before Google, George, we had you to ask for answers. Now we can ask Google, but it's not nearly as good."
Thanking Drumwright for serving as a mentor, O'Bannon went on to quote Albert Einstein, who once said, "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, and you can live as if everything is a miracle."
"George," wrote O'Bannon,"lives his life as if everything is a miracle."
Echoing O'Bannon's sentiment, Vithoulkas recalled visiting the undeveloped, overgrown future site of Henricus decades ago, when he worked under Stegmaier as a budget analyst.
"It wasn't nearly what we've got here now," said Vithoulkas.
"George, you've done a phenomenal job."

Large Pellets By Anthony on 7/15/2014Anthony would recommend this product to a friendBiopellets seem to be the wave of the future. They work, it is obvious. These pellets seem to be a bit larger than some.
Rapid degradation By Eldog on 6/24/2014Eldog wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI am very pleased with the nitrate reduction since running biopellets in the BR140 reef octopus reaction chamber on my 240 gallon reef tank. Nitrates went from 5 ppm to undetectable in 16 weeks. The downside at this point is a rapid degradation of the pellets leaving a fine but thick pasty emulsion on the upper segment of the chamber, return plumbing, and sump / protein skimmer. The degradation was rapid between 15 - 18 weeks I noticed a steady accumulation of biopellet emulsion. I have rerouted the output side of the reactor through my filter sock in fear that this emulsion may have an adverse reaction on the tank inhabitants and corals.
Great product so far By Sharkboy on 3/14/2014Sharkboy would recommend this product to a friendThe pellets tumble nicely with an Eheim 2000 and bashsea reactor. Pellets don't clump either. Time will tell if notates are lowered as they have only been tumbling a week now
DONT DO IT! By Todd on 2/23/2014Todd wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIf your tank is already up and running DON'T!!! use this stuff. It killed my whole tank slowly but surely. It made everything healthy and brighter at first then came the cyano bacteria . I immediately removed it and did a massive water change to get rid of any of the bacteria it created but I was too late and over the next 6 months no matter what I did it didn't help and now I have a tank full of rock and a starfish.
pretty good By Dustin on 12/11/2013Dustin would recommend this product to a friendworks good for nitrate reduction but I dont see it helping with phosphates in my tank.
Great stuff, good price, but 500ml is a tiny bag By Anthony on 12/3/2013Anthony would recommend this product to a friendI've been running the stuff for 9 months and have been very happy with the results. The last time I ordered I ordered the 1000ml and that's the small size shown in the picture, this last time I accidentally ordered the 500ml, thinking it was the small size I ordered before and was disappointed. My fault of course.
I really think the two small sizes should be listed in cups instead of ml since the calculator only shows the number of cups recommended.
Great so far By Russell on 11/30/2013Russell would recommend this product to a friendI have been running these pellets in my DIY reactor for about 8 weeks now with great results. I havent noticed much of an uptick in my skimmate, but nitrates are down and algae is almost completely gone. I may have to step up feeding or supplement feed my crabs and snails soon.
GREAT FOR PO4 AND NO3 By Jhon on 11/27/2013Jhon would recommend this product to a friendBeen using for about 2 years, on both my tanks resolved my hair algae and kept it away. This is my main source of nutrient export.
Good Product For Good Price By The Reef Spot on 11/23/2013The Reef Spot would recommend this product to a friendJust started running the biopellets. Will be a month to see how effective they will be. But for the price, cant beat it!
Great Product with a catch By Anne on 10/17/2013Anne would recommend this product to a friendI've been using BRS biopellets on my tank for a little over 6 months now, and have been getting great results for about 4 months. The first 2 months were spent fighting cyano outbreaks despite not having high nitrates or phosphates. I was doing 20% water changes every week and fed very lightly. After turning my UV off (it's inline after the biopellet reactor) the cyano went away within 2 weeks. I haven't run the UV since and have had wonderful results. Nutrients stay nice and low and the corals and fish are all flourishing.
So after a bumpy start (probably my fault for running the UV) the pellets are performing very well and doing exactly what they are described to do.
Great product at a good price By Mark on 9/17/2013Mark would recommend this product to a friendGreat product at a good price. The only Bio Pellet brand I use.
good for first few weeks BUT By Jay on 8/29/2013Jay wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThis is the first BRS product I have to give negative feedback on. I'm a regular customer and always have great things to say about there products BUT these bio pellets are not cut out to be what described. I'm running 500 ml in a reef octopus br-110 with a model 2 pump. The pump is near new and very very strong. The problem is after the first few weeks they work great but as they begin to breakdown which they are meant to do they start to clump and and cause problems. Now if your reading this your initial response is to say that there isn't enough pressure and trust me that is not the case. I borrowed a second BR-110 reactor from a friend and used Ecobak pellets on one tank and the BRS with fresh pellets. This was an experiment I wanted to compare. Same pumps and all, after 4 months the ecobak pellets never clumped or had any issues and took the nitrates to 0 from 110-120. The second tank with the BRS pellets was clumping as usual and only took the nitrates to 80-90 from 100-110. This is just my comparison and opinion but if it comes to bio pellets ecobak worked the best. I still love BRS and will continue purchasing all my other necessities but the pellets are not their best product.

How often do pellets need to be changed or replaced
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Robert,
The pellets don't get changed out you just top them off as they get consumed. Typically this is every few months (3-6).
by JERRY on November 18, 2013, @7:43 AM
I've looked high and low for this answer but couldn't find it anywhere... I see it says don't touch for 8 weeks but when do you replace these? Also will I only replace part or all?
Jerry S.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Jerry,
They are basically food and surface area for bacteria so you actually don't ever remove and replace them. You just add more as they get consumed. Once up and running thats usually once every couple of months.
by Brendan on April 21, 2014, @1:42 PM
How often do you recommend leaving the pellets in before having to change them?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Brendan,
The pellets don't actually need to be changed out, they get consumed by the bacteria as they run so they just need to be topped off as they get consumed. It will vary but 4-6 months would be pretty typical.
We recommend 1 cup (236 ml) of BRS biopellets per 50 gallons of system volume. See Instructions.
Maintaining low nitrates is key to maintaining the best coral coloration, healthy fish and avoiding algae outbreaks. Fish foods and resulting waste eventually break down into nitrates. Aquarists' primary method of dealing with nitrate removal is water changes but over the years we have developed a few ways to remove nitrates with equipment like refugiums, sulfur reactors and deep sandbeds. All of these methods work to various degrees but are often less efficient than we would like or the level of complexity, expense and maintenance is beyond what the average reefer would desire
Solid carbon dosing (biopellets) has recently become an extremely popular method of removing nitrates from the aquarium. The exact method of denitration can be different for each tank but it mainly consists of a few things:
- Nitrate laden Bacteria is removed via the protein skimmer
- Bacteria directly converts nitrite into nitrous oxide so nitrate is never produced
- Bacteria consumes nitrates and processes them down into nitrogen gas
- Nitrate laden Bacteria is consumed by tank inhabitants like corals and sponges
Depending on the system it should take 4-8 weeks for the bacteria population to multiply and begin its work on your nitrates. Once you have the reactor going we suggest not making any adjustments for 8 weeks. Give the media and bacteria time to adjust to the parameters found in your tank and begin working. The absolute best advice we can give with this system is to set it up and forget about it for two months. Unless something is obviously not right resist all temptation to make any changes until the two months are up.

Growing corporate influence in American politics and especially electoral campaigns is driving a push-back effort from Move On dot org, a nation-wide series of protests that includes one in Santa Rosa today.
The origins of this new MoveOn campaign predate the current mid-term elections, explains David Walls, Coordinator for the group's Sonoma County Council. They can be traced back to the protracted legislative battle over health care reform.
Cyntia Boaz, professor of political science at Sonoma State University, says the coming Congressional elections will be fueled in large part by populist issues, on both ends of the political spectrum. But each "wing" will respond to them differently.

Custom Shop
Welcome to the Custom Shop
The Custom Shop exists for you, a simple statement but one that we don't take lightly. You are not a demographic; you are not a piece of the marketplace to be acquired. If you play music, you are a musician, an artist,
and we believe the world is a better place because of you. Our sole purpose for being is to serve you, the artist.
The relationship between musicians and their instruments has always been a unique bond. Many of C. F. Martin's most innovative and truly revolutionary designs have been the results of collaborations with musicians. Every time we carve a spruce brace, shape a mahogany neck or create a piece of custom pearl, we do it with you, the artist, in mind. A musician's need to play music is not a choice. It is a necessary part of their lives. It is the musician's desire to share their particular gift of interpreting everyday elements and experiences into lyrics and melody that move and inspire others. At the C. F. Martin Custom Shop, we share the same passion. With your vision in hand, our artists cut, sand, carve and craft the finest materials into an instrument, a working muse of everyday inspiration. A functional work of art that acts as the prism through which you can view, shape and inspire the world around you.
This is who we are.
This is what we do.
Fred Greene | VP, Custom Shop
Exquisite taste, structural integrity and adherence to high Martin quality is standard in every Custom Martin guitar. Select from beautiful tone woods, special pearl and custom inlays, enhanced with trims, fine tuners and a perfect finish. Compose all this on your favorite guitar, and your dream can become a reality.
Your Custom Martin guitar, when ordered through a Martin dealer, will be crafted with impeccable care, attention to detail and will also include a limited lifetime warranty to you, the original owner.
Shapes and Sizes
Inside the Martin Custom Shop there are many different sizes and shapes from which to choose. All produce a different tone, some subtle and some dramatically different. Body size definitely makes a difference, so be sure to choose carefully.
Tone Woods
With the body in mind, it's time to select the premium tone woods from the exotic to the traditional, each with its own unique character, color, figure, texture and tonal qualities. Like body sizes, woods have a distinct influence on sound, ranging from clear ringing trebles to warm bass and midrange to everything inbetween.
Now that the body is complete, we can add to traditional woodworking with exclusive pearl artistry, delicate marquetry, multi-level bindings, custom pickguards and whatever you like. Working with some of the country's most skilled pearl artisans, we can execute the most complex inlays, resulting in designs that can be truly spectacular!
Finally, you need to decide the "right" playability. You need to choose the most comfortable neck that is easy to play in terms of action (height of the string above the fret), string tension and neck width. If you're accustomed to playing electric, you'll probably want low action on an acoustic. Same goes for lead players, either electric or acoustic. Acoustic rhythm players or slide players generally want higher action. Flatpickers and rhythm players prefer narrow necks. Fingerpickers, with their need for greater string spacing, prefer wide necks.

Over at Golden Skate there was an interesting span of posts where people got a little off topic by comparing skaters in a Skater A > Skater B > Skater C format or in some cases Skater A > Skater B >= (greater than or equal to) Skater C.
This got me to thinking: Seeing as how these are the three main podium contenders heading into worlds, how would you rank Carolina, Mao and Yu-Na in the following categories?
Jumps (rank each)
- Axel
- Toe
- Loop
- Salchow
- Flip
- Lutz
- Combos (3-3 and 2-3)
Spins (overall but you can specify)
Skating Skills (this includes edges, speed, flow, etc.)
Choreography (for this year's programs)
Here are my thoughts:
- Axel: Mao > Carolina >= Yu-Na
Mao's axel is so light and airy it almost looks like a single. Both Carolina and Yu-Na have great axels though I prefer Carolina's b/c of her landing position which is fully extended and often held for a count, whereas Yu-Na usually checks the landing quickly but I do love Yu-Na's ability to do the axel out of an Ina or SE...
- Toe: Carolina > Yu-Na >= Mao
Carolina's air position and coverage make it a great jump for her. Yu-Na rarely does a 3T as a single jump; it's usually in combination with lutz or an axel so it's hard to judge. I like the delay Mao's 3Ts but she doesn't do a toe by itself either. It's been in combination with the axel lately; when she hits it, it's equal to Yu-Na's.
- Loop: Carolina >= Mao > Yu-Na
Both Carolina and Mao's loops are probably their best jumps. Both get good lift and pretty rotations in the air with nice landings. Yu-Na doesn't attempt a loop...
- Salchow: Carolina > Yu-Na > Mao
Carolina gets nice lift into the air on this one. The sal is probably Yu-Na's weakest jump even though it's solid. Hers lacks the height/coverage of Carolina's. Mao's sal is good but she's still getting the hang of it so it's not very reliable right now.
- Flip: Yu-Na > Mao > Carolina
Yu-Na's flip has good height and coverage and is one of her best jumps. Mao's flip is her money jump and she's able to do it out of complicated steps, but it doesn't get the coverage Yu-Na's gets. Carolina's flip is lovely when she hits it but it often has a looong step up.
- Lutz: Yu-Na > Carolina > Mao
Yu-Na's lutz is excellent and is another strength for her. Speed, distance, height...she has it all. Carolina's lutz has been MIA but the one she did at Europeans was lovely. Mao still flutzes...
- Combos (3-3 and 2-3): Yu-Na >> Carolina >= Mao
Obviously Yu-Na's ability to do a myriad of 3-3s and a 2A-3T with consistency make her the easy winner here. Carolina has been doing a 3T-3T consistently and her 2A-3T is good too. Mao has not attempted a 3-3 is some years but her 2A-3T is pretty good and her 3-jump combos with two loops are very difficult.
Spins: Mao > Carolina > Yu-Na
Mao's spins have improved a lot this season. By far she has the best positions in terms of extension, flexibility and variations, her speed is better and she's been getting level 4s all season long. Carolina's spins are average but I put her above Yu-Na b/c of her extension, positions and the improvement to her layback (arms and leg positioning are much better this year). As for Yu-Na, with the exception of the layover camel and her back position in the layback (which are both lovely), her spins are about average too. They aren't as fast as they used and the positions aren't that great, but she's still adjusting to the new spins rules so we'll have to see if they've improved since nationals.
Skating Skills: Carolina > Mao >= Yu-Na
Carolina wins this. Speed, edges, ease, flow...all three have them but Carolina is tops IMO. It's difficult choosing who is 2nd here but I give Mao the slight edge. Yu-Na has the edge on power/acceleration when you compare her to Mao but I feel Mao edges Yu-Na overall. Best thing I can point to is the step sequences. I've never seen Yu-Na execute a step sequence equal to the complexity of Carolina or Mao's. All three are strong here which is part of why they are the top contenders.
Transitions: Yu-Na > Carolina = Mao
I give Yu-Na the edge here due to her transitions into her jumps. All three include good transitions throughout their programs, but Yu-Na's entry into her jumps are what stand out. The moves connect with little prep time before the jump and they are faster and more difficult than Carolina or Mao's, plus she often adds transitions to her exits too. I would say Carolina's exits are better than Yu-Na's exits though; however, Carolina's entries are sometimes long...and Mao's jumps are often preceded by steps that don't pause as long as Carolina's do, though she (Mao) doesn't have as many transitions out of her jumps. So to sum up all have great in-the-field moves. In terms of transitions for jumps: Yu-Na (entry and exit), Carolina (exit), Mao (entry)...whew!
- SP: Carolina > Mao > Yu-Na
This one is based purely on preferences of course. I think Carolina's SP this year is the best she's ever had. Amazing musicality, almost every accent is used. It's a phenomenal program. Mao's I Got Rhythm SP has grown on me. I like the throwback Mao style mixed with the skills she's gained as a mature skater. She pulls it off very well. Yu-Na's SP is good and while it's better than a number of programs it doesn't stand out in comparison to Carolina and Mao's programs to me.
- FS: Mao > Carolina > Yu-Na
Again, it's all preference here. I think Mao's Swan Lake FS is lovely. It's a simple program that highlights her strengths in all of the right ways. The pacing is very good and the edit is very effective. Carolina and Yu-Na's programs are still works in progress but I'm feeling Carolina's Bolero more than Yu-Na's Les Mis. Lori has found a way to make Bolero work for Carolina and I think the program has moved from pretty good to nice IMO. For Yu-Na it's the same with her SP. Les Mis is a good program but, compared to Mao and Carolina's programs, this one grabs me the least. There are some nice moments but it doesn't do anything for me like her programs have in the past.
Feel free to add categories I left out. And sorry if this has been done before. I just thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone thought...
