Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteWeather should be better next week in the 80's.For some good performances.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteSomeone mentioned it already in the 100h thread, Queen Harrison doubling in both hurdle events; better chance to make the team in the 400h, though.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteI would have picked Harrison over Williams to make the team in this event.
This is Tiffany Williams first event in how long?
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
Williams has a 55.16 from May and a 55.01 in june. But I would also probably pick Harrison to make this team.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteIf Harrison makes the team, she'll be the only holdover from the 2008 trio of Harrison, Williams and Sheena Tosta (who has been MIA from the track over the last few years).
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteDemus had her leg wrapped in Europe so what is her status?
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
I'm sure she'll be fine... She should be far enough ahead of everyone to make top 3... Which is what is most important right now.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteWhatever happened to Sheena Tosta? We last saw her at the Penn Relays last year.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteWow Queen Harrison luckily the last qualifier on time. Wonder if she hit a hurdle.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
If she did I missed it. Brown looked good in that heat, could relax in the end. Not sure what was going on with Harrison; if I remember correctly she seemed to slow down running the turn, and then wasn't able to catch up on the homestretch.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
Heavy rehabbing of a hammy can get one ready for one race, but rounds present a problem. I can't believe she's in shape for a 53.x (of which she has many in her career) in the final. Nice if she were!
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
She ran 55.29 in the first round. Not so bad for her to start off right?
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteMy picks
Demus 53 mid Brown Moline
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteThe good Lord got it right with Queen Harrison...
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteBrown and Moline looking good for the other two spots.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteWhy was Queen Harrison's flinch a false start but Solomon and Lolo's flinches not? Nevermind Lolo, Solomon flinched on the same day. I don't believe anyone's foot came off the blocks and defining a flinch is somewhat subjective...no?
Some consistency would be nice.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
Queen Harrison shouldn't have been DQed for a false start, and the DQ was correctly overturned; not that it mattered much.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteWhy are they not calling false starts at this meet unless they are 100% blatant?
I do want to see these athletes run, but they would usually call those flinches as false starts...
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
thanks jam. ATK, its my belief that we don't want our own officials to strike potential Olympic medals from the team. Great strategy USATF! Some idiot nation somewhere will though and it will hand us a medal. I thought this when Lolo flinched and now I'm convinced. It reminded me of AF's flinch at Pre last year in the 400m. If someone flinches the rest of these trials they shouldnt even think about firing a gun since it will only disrupt the athlete's focus even more. An athlete who flinches and resets is usually in trouble anyway.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteas i recall i posted after the Pac-12 that the thing that impressed me most of all in that meet was Moline. She--despite her fubar in Des Moines--has done nothing here to dispel that feeling.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteSo Queen Harrison is out. That's disappointing.
How did Tiffany Williams do?
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
Had the lead halfway through her semi, slowed down on the homestretch and finished second. Looked more like she was fading and not like she was relaxing, though. Based on prelims and semis, the favorites should be Demus, Brown, and Moline.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteDemus, Moline, Brown...great PB for Moline..
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favoriteBrown and Moline easily make the team, same tactic as in semis: Brown starting strong, Moline starting slower and then running strong in the last 150m.
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)great performances by Demus and others to make the team.
what's up with the braces? seems to have them off and on over the years. back in the 80s and 90s a lot of track athletes were wearing braces.
Re: 2012OT w400H—Demus clear favorite
I agree.. I saw Queens alleged false start, which was almost identical to Solomon's...
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)
Not sure what you mean by this!!! LOL.... Maybe she's using them to straighten her teeth...
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)
Yeah, good chance for Demus to win gold in London.
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)
LOL @ NOTLEF, that's why i had my braces. And I was almost 30
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)
Similar aspersions where cast on some (very good) Jamaican sprinters a couple of years ago (mostly or entirely female athletes). These runners did not have rich parents when they were 12-years old when it seems that many if not most girls in the US now get braces. Now that they can afford them they get braces because appearances can matter (and affect sponsorship money in some cases I strongly suspect). The aspersions arise from connections some make between drugs (HGH most often, I think) and bone growth so that braces are 'needed' to keep the teeth straight. Save the aspersions for rich kids who could/did have braces as budding teens. If you do not know enough then shut up and read the board's policy on drug accusations. [and no, I have NO problem with lilwayne or notlef, but it seems that those making aspersions have raised questions on others, although I have been speed-reading threads to catch up from a week out during the Trials]
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)
Agreed that we don't want to go down that path on this board. In this particular case, however, the braces, having appeared off/on over many years (perhaps a medical condition), do raise questions.
Re: ¶2012OT w400H—Lashinda Demus 53.98 (AL)Sometimes they are to improve breathing, I think Jana Pittman had them for a while to deal with an asthma issue.

It's no secret that we love our sandals for spring, but there's a certain type of sandal that has captured our style interest lately: the cork sandal. They're perfectly casual and laid back for all those summer dresses, shorts and jeans.
There are tons of really gorgeous iterations of this trend; we couldn't possibly pick just one!

MOSCOW - A masked assailant threw acid at the artistic director of the Bolshoi Theater ballet, an attack that colleagues say may leave him partially blind and appeared to be linked to power struggles at the famed Russian dance company.
Sergei Filin, a 42-year-old former ballet star, said he was approached late Thursday night by a man who threw the acid at his face as he approached the high gate at the entrance to his apartment building in central Moscow.
"I got scared and I thought he was going to shoot me," Filin, his head and face covered with white bandages, said in an interview with REN TV. "I turned around to run, but he raced ahead of me."
Filin said the attacker wore a hood and either a mask or a scarf, so only his eyes were visible.
The theater's general director, Anatoly Iksanov, said he believed the attack was linked to Filin's work.
"He is a man of principle and never compromised," Iksanov said on Channel One state television. "If he believed that this or that dancer was not ready or was unable to perform this or that part, he would turn them down."
Filin knew that someone was threatening him or trying to undermine his position, Iksanov said. He said Filin's car tires had been slashed earlier this week and he was targeted in early January by hackers who posted his professional correspondence online.
"He said 'I have a feeling that I am on the front lines,'" Iksanov quoted Filin as telling him Thursday before the
Iksanov later backed away from the suggestion that the attack was linked to Filin's casting decisions.
"The goal (of the attack) was to create a split and disagreement in the theater's management," Iksanov told journalists gathered at the theater. Channel One deleted his statement from its reports later in the day.
Bolshoi principal dancer Svetlana Zakharova teared up when speaking about Filin.
"We've just realized that the job of a Bolshoi Theater director is very dangerous one," she said.
Filin, who danced for the Bolshoi from 1989 until 2007, was appointed artistic director of the Bolshoi's ballet company in March 2011. Before returning to the Bolshoi, he served as artistic director at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater, Moscow's second ballet company.
Bolshoi spokeswoman Katerina Novikova, who visited Filin in the hospital Thursday night, told The Associated Press that his condition was stable but he could lose his sight. She also appeared to confirm that a disagreement over roles may have played a part in the attack.
"We never imagined that a war for roles - not for real estate or for oil - could reach this level of crime," Novikova said on Channel One.
Several stars at the Bolshoi including Nikolai Tsiskaridze, one of its most celebrated dancers, have complained about what they call Filin's unfair treatment of dancers at the theater.
Alexei Ratmansky, who was the Bolshoi ballet's artistic director from 2004 until 2008, described an atmosphere of intrigue at the theater.
"What happened with Sergei Filin was not accidental," Ratmansky, now an artist-in-residence at the American Ballet Theater, posted on his Facebook page. "The Bolshoi has many ills. It's a disgusting cesspool, of those developing friendships with the artists, the speculators and scalpers, the half-crazy fans ready to bite the throats of the rivals of their favorites, the cynical hackers, the lies in the press and the scandalous interviews of staff.
"This is all one snowball caused by the lack of any ethics at the theater."
Filin is the sixth artistic director at the Bolshoi since Yuri Grigorovich, who led the dance company for three decades, resigned in 1995 after losing a protracted dispute with theater management. Successive artistic directors, however, were unable to overcome resistance from dancers and teachers still loyal to Grigorovich as they tried to inject new life into the company.
Filin, a Bolshoi veteran who had brought modern ballets to Stanislavsky, was seen as capable of bridging that gap.
Dancers Zakharova and Yan Godovsky played down talk of tensions at the company, saying there were disagreements but not "on this scale."
Filin will be flown to Brussels later Friday to be treated at a military hospital that specializes in burns, Bolshoi spokeswoman Novikova said.

American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT have cancelled their appearance at the Ragnarock Festival, set to take place August 17-19 at the Valle Hovin Sports Arena in Oslo, Norway. The group's manager, KMI Entertainment's Tim Norwood, states, "We have yet to receive a contract or deposits for this festival. It is unfortunate for the fans since the band was very excited about coming to Norway again. It is simply out of our hands at this point. It also means that we have to reschedule the Helsinki show that was booked in connection with Ragnarock. We are in the middle of planning the European tour for spring 2007 and we are planning a full run through Norway and Finland."
As previously reported, KAMELOT will be traveling to Wolfsburg, Germany this summer to lay down the tracks for the follow-up to 2005's "The Black Halo" with co-producers Sascha Paeth and Miro. Nine songs have already been compelted, according to guitarist Thomas Youngblood. An early 2007 release is expected.
KAMELOT recently completed work on their first DVD, "One Cold Winter's Night", which was shot in Oslo this past February. "We have 18 cameras on this shoot and the concert was nearly two hours long," stated vocalist Khan. The disc was edited by Patric Ulleaus (DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES) and will include special guest appearances by Simone Simons (EPICA), Sascha Paeth and Snowy Shaw (ex-KING DIAMOND, DREAM EVIL), plus many others.
Also on the KAMELOT-related front, the first-ever KAMELOT anthology, "Lunar Sanctum", will be released by Sanctuary Records. It will feature some classics as well as unreleased live cuts from the band's last concerts in Tokyo.

Been Waiting for this DVD....
This band is nearly all American guys.....who are just huge in Europe
KAMELOT's first-ever DVD, entitled "One Cold Winter's Night" will be released via Steamhammer/SPV on October 30.
"One Cold Winter's Night" was recorded on February 11, 2006 at the historic Rockefeller Musichall in Oslo, Norway. KAMELOT enlisted renowned film and video director Patric Ullaeus (DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES) to chronicle the night's events. Bringing with him from Gothenberg, Sweden, Patric had a large crew of professionals and equipment, including 18 cameras, that would be used in and around the concert grounds.
The title for the band's first DVD to date (based on an earlier KAMELOT song title) was chosen long before the actual shoot. Ironically this winter turned out to be one of the longest and coldest in the country's history, with enormous amounts of snow and numerous chaos-causing blizzards.
"One Cold Winter's Night" will be available as a double DVD double CDor a 2DVD/2CD doublepack with poster. The track listing is as follows:
01. Intro: Un Assasino Molto Silenzioso

I will give them a whirl HM.
What I find funny is how people still blame glam metal and not the nature of the industry itself. I also find it extremely ironic how some can say that image was gay. Is that gay with a capital G because the image that is often portrayed as the image of metal is that of Judas Priest and the leather wearing image Halford portray was nothing less than that of the gay community.
The nature of the industry is that it will do what is selling and every decade they switch to what is being projected as the next best thing. The fact of the matter remains is that glam metal put metal on the map here in the States. Without them record companies would not have took the risk of signing more non commercial sounding bands. There is a reason why Pop music is Popular Music. It is not because it sucks to many of our eyes. It is because it fills the bottom line and that is it SELLS. Glam Metal kept propelling metal overall here to keep going. Look at Ozzy. Tell me he did not change his music to match that of which was selling?
I have always objected to those stupid subgenres because the suits will simply use it to say we only want this and then the rest conform to that or they simply remain in the Underground.
Metal in the US is dormant compared to the 80s because it lacks airplay, it lacks video time, and thusly it lacks exposure to a wider audience to get promoters to want to take the risk of larger venues.
People seem to forget that those glam bands by the 90s were changing their images. People seem to forget that by the 90s many of the big bands of the 80s were on hiatus or disintegrating. An image of non corporate metal was supposed to be the wave of the 90s but those bands did not deliver. They disintegrated as well and rather fast. We call them Grunge. Kobain was made into some form of gawd and compared to Lennon. At the time though metal of the 80s and early 90s was not getting the airplay it once had. It was not getting video play that it once had. Guns N Roises and Metallica were both seen as supposedly carrying the Torch as Defenders of the Faith but look what happened to both of them. The Record Industry is Corporate and as the 80s progressed and into the 90s it became more so. It is not into nurturing a band for years before it can sell something. It wants black right now. It does not want to see Red. In todays world that will get instant layoffs just to put Corporate back in the Black. It wants Gold before the tour starts. It wants double platinum before the tour ends. Rap/Urban music was the new shiznit. They got extensive airplay and video play. Not to mention they were getting movie contracts and TV shows as well. Was Metal? No. We then got the fusion of rap/metal etc.
Who killed Metal here in the States? The Music Industry did. It sacrificed it on the alter of the finanical spreadsheet because "grunge" and rap/metal did not produce the numbers as previous subgenres in the 80s. I bought two DVDs saturday, both 10 bucks. One Malmsteen playing to the Japanese Phil and Twisted Sister at Wacken 2003. That band formed in 1973. It broke up in 1987 after 15 years and something like 9000 shows. A band that was not speaking to each other or barely had members speaking to one another was asked to headline those festivals that year by European Promoters. I find that amazing in of itself. Yet over here we have people blasting that they are of the group that killed metal and are gay. Maybe Europeans don't have this false sense of machoism. Dee was talking about how odd it was to be headlining all these festivals and that when they were there in the 80s playing the same festivals they were 6th on the billing. We also saw very successful recent tours of bands that fell into the same category as TS. The money is there but here in the States we do no get those festivals. I remember the US Festival here. I remember Metal day being the largest crowd. It is still out in Devore, CA I believe but dormant.
Now here in the States festivals like WoodStock were reattempted and initially although not a financial success was a musical success. Subsequent ones ended in violence as fans became destructive. We can bitch about the price of water and the stands selling things but in the end of the day Promoters do this stuff to turn a profit as well. They have to get financial backing and if the stuff is just going to be lit on fire by a mob then why are they going to invest money in it. So Europe gets its festivals while we do not.
Ok this plane is about to land in Damascus. I will check out Kamelot HM and for the rest of you try
. CD Baby was started back in 1997 and is run out of Oregon, USA. It was started by a band to sell his CDs and now sells CDs of other Independent Artists. The link is to the metal section and you can listen to parts of their CDs. Many are from all over the States.

I just think its a shame....Khan is great singer/writer for Kamelot..his vocals will not be everyones cup of tea...but this band does have lots of talent...with amazing guitar riffs,solos as well and the orchestral arrangements give it a bit of class in my opinion....don't worry its just small arrangements.
Music festivals in Europe mean its summer time for us also a great time to meet up with fellow fans from music forums as well..Holland is really good place to start....sometimes there is a festival nearly every weekend it seems.
I am the same as you Devin...regarding sub-genres of music...hell if I like it ....I will buy it...no matter what the genre...even if I do see myself buying mostly Gothic....but I ain't a Goth
I just like the female vocals in some of these bands and there opera training brings something different to the sound.
Who knows Devin....you could be going to a Kamelot gig in OCT!
I am sure you must be near one of these places..

I might go. Starting next weekend till the weekend before Thanksgiving a whole division is moving to another location so we will be working weekends off and on with getting days off during the week. I am still waiting for a schedule of who works when so I can plan accordingly. The one on the 10th is more likely since I start classes this Wednesday that are twice a week, M & W.
But yeah I do think it is a shame. Ozzfest is the only festival that I know that we have and well I know a lot of people that are tired of that. It would be nice to have simply a metalfest each year that would host different people but over here my suspicion would be it would cost a mint to go to since all the promoters would be trying to gouge as much as they could out of the event. Ticket agencies used to be the thing and not ticketmaster. They would buy blocks of tickets from the venues and then sell them to us for a jacked up price. I remember frontrow Metallica tickets going for 250. I saw the Crue for Dr Feelgood for 130 something for shitting ass seats. A friend said they were the side of the stage and we would be looking down the side across the stage. It was a sold out show so take what you get right. We get there and it is not only on the side but on the backside. You could not see the entire righthand side of the stage. We could see the middle and the left hand side. I was pissed at him. You look down at the ticket and it has ticketmaster stamped on it and says the ticket was 13.50. And what was that 1990 dollars? So you go see one band you might not have enough to see another one who comes through a month later to which you may not know about till almost that time anyway. I paid 110 for second row center to see Lock Up the Wolves at the Pacific Amp. If ticket prices were like they are now then I could have seen a lot more concerts. I saw Ronnie for MOTM at Anaheim House of Blues and then two days later at the Greek Theater for less money combined than that one second row center ticket and both places I was in a great view of seeing him and the entire stage.
I used to go into a record stores and start with the A's and work my way down. Who is that? Who is this? And just buy them. I have all of WASPs studios but when they first hit the big scene they were glam metaling their asses off. In the end of the day when we see that Ozzy has a larger fanbase than Ronnie we have to see that those same bands we dog as not being true metal had a much larger fanbase than Testament, Megadeth, Judas Priest, etc. We are not just talking crossover subgenre appeal but genre crossover period. You lose them and you lose a huge chuck of working capital that can be used to help promote other bands.
My hair was never poofy, I never wore makeup but I never wore the leather either because it was the music that was more important to me.

Maybe thats the problem in USA,Devin...Tickets prices seem to be expensive in the States,I have never paid more than £50 for a ticket,and when I did pay that amount it was not for me or to see a Metal gig,truth be known it was a ticket for the wife to see Robbie Williams playing in a sold out stadium
myself I think £35 has been the most...I have paid for a ticket...for music,but every year I will pay £250 for my ticket for the British round of F1,I think its worth it. I don't mind that little extra,but I will never pay £33 a ticket again to see Whitesnake...what a rip off that was,crap set list and David Coverdale singing like a parrot on helium or screaming
was the worse gig of my life,and I had bought 3 tickets for that gig.If Dio does tour in UK next year...the price does not even come into...but I know for sure the tickets prices will be at the most £25....I think one time...I saw Alice Cooper and Dio for less than £20 for Magica's release.I don't even go near Ticketmaster,I found Ticketweb...to be really cheaper and quicker,maybe we are lucky in UK becoz we have many different kinds of venues...Dio seems to like playing in Glasgow Carling...I think its an old picture house,holds about 3500 always sold out...but we have many venues like this in UK,the modern ones hold more folk but they will charge more money,there does not seem to be a week,were there is not a band playing at the Carling.
I would love for Dio to play Edinburgh...but the biggest venue in Edinburgh likes to have musicals and shows on etc,and the demand for this venue is high so I understand trying to fit a one off gig ....is hard for them to do,with these shows running for months at a time,there is also the Corn Exchange a newish venue,which holds about the same as the Carling..but becoz its in Edinburgh the hire for a gig is expensive..so it will always be Glasgow most of the time,which I don't mind,its only a 45 min drive away,which is nothing when you think of the distance some of you guys would have to travel from State to State.
I never use cd shops now...in the city the 2 biggest Virgin and HMV are so different..I think its a local thing as well,lot of metal fans in Edinburgh,but Virgin's section is crap...HMV have a section just for Metal...which was huge last time,I looked...for me Amazon,Ebay and online shop in Germany are the places...I buy my cds/dvds now,I buy 90% of all our goods online now...only things I don't buy are meat and Veg!
I can see those 2 giants closing one day in Edinburgh,but who knows the younger fans seem to like them.
Glad to hear you never wore make-up
but I know a few of my friends who will get the black eye liner from their girl friends
No not for me!I don't want to look like a bloody panda for any band,but hey if they want to do it...who am I to stopped them,remember we wear a kilt sometimes
when I was younger ...I was a long haired freak,but you have to change as you get older,who's gonna employ a guy with hair down his back, and oil stains on his jeans,its sad too say but people do judge you on first impressions...hell my bank manager would have called the cops if I went to see him like that.But I am glad the fashion has changed that ties are out now....becoz I hate them

Anyone heard some of their earlier work? I have just recently gotten into listening to Kamelot, and the only album i've heard so far is Black Halo, which in my opinion is a fantastic good album.
But I would like to know how you like their earlier albums, is the music in the same style as the Black Halo??

Asle_dale....I have the following Kamelot cds...
Karma,Epica, The Fourth Legacy and of course The Black Halo,
Now after listening to ''Karma'' you will want to own more Kamelot cds....
It's just got everything; emotion, melody, aggression, sentiment and amazing songwriting and performance.
The Fourth Legacy-
Kamelot's later albums are a tribute to great producing, the fourth legacy is a tribute to the bands excellent talent and composition which they haven't matched since (though believe me when I say they are still one of the best in the genre).
Epica -
The most exciting part of this album, perhaps, is the fact that it is a concept album telling one whole story through the lyrical genius of Khan/Youngblood partnership. It is based on Goethe's Frost and follows the story of Ariel, someone who is searching for the ultimate answers in life. The songs each tell a part of the story, which turns out to be quite tragic, Ariel being lured by the devil (Mephisto) to sign away his soul, and then prompting his former love, Helena, to commit suicide.
This amazing album tells a story through Kamelot's unique style of music and also grips you in anticipation for their next concept album which will conclude the tale. If anyone is a fan of Kamelot, get this album. If anyone is a fan of Faust, get this album. If anyone is a fan of metal, get this album. If anyone can empathise with a fallen hero who has been betrayed by that which he believes can help him, get this album.
Asle_dale....I thought some other folks opinions would be best becoz...I am such a fan of this band...and my opinion would be one-sided
But if you enjoy ''The Black Halo'',you will enjoy the other 3,there is a couple of more cds...from them..I have not got just yet,but they are on my list.I can't wait for the live cd and dvd.

Love Kamelot.... a great power metal band, that has never gone into those generic, mediocrisy, waters typical of a lot of PM bands.
Kahn has a great voice.... Youngblood is a very good guitarist.
Although my favorite album is Dominion.... black halo is one hell of an album. Along with Epica, black halo is probably musically superior than Dominion...... but Dominion just has that kick to it.
Hope to see them this fall.... i probably won't be able to though. Sad to miss Epica too.

Volume vs. Master Volume
Like (0)
Ok, so here's another silly question. I am curious as to how people set up their volume and master volume controls on the HD 500. Do you prefer to keep master volume low and volume high or visa versa, and why. Thanks.
the trick is to set the master volume where it's comfortable...
and then use the other volume to change the volume on your patches... (and SAVE them!!!)
then you use the master volume to raise or lower your overall volume to fit the venue or situation...
for the most part... you set the master and leave it alone... do all your editing on the other volume.
not exactly what you were asking... but it sounded like you might not have understood the point of the 2 volumes.
Master Volume at or near full for best S/N ratio.
The patch volume needs to be set where it gives you the correct volumes in relation to your other patches. For example: I have a high gain sound that's about half volume but when I switch to a clean sound it's almost full volume to keep the two patches at the correct volumes to each other.
This actually does get to the heart of what I was asking. I was thinking that the two volumes were used like on an amp and I was running into all sorts of volume issues never really getting things just right largely because my patches were set to different volumes. I didn't realize that I could use the volume control to set the patch volume and then save it. How's that for a duh moment? Thanks for the help.
Just to note for dream rig owners. If you are running into a DT amp the Master wil dertermine tube saturation so the above suggestions are great only for the pod alone.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Images 09/14/2002: Dr. Nader Pourhassan
Carrie interviews Dr. Nader Pourhassan, author of "The Corruption of Moslem Minds" about the misinterpretation of the word of the Koran. (PART II)
Las Cruces, NM – First Aired 09/14/2002
In this second part, he describes his personal journey toward the "real" meanings of the Koran and the responses from outsiders to his theories. He spent 7 years aggresively researching and re-reading the Koran, realizing that he had been misled in his religious teachings by the elders in the faith and he needed to change his behaviors. His marriage depended on it and he spoke about his marriage to his wife and her responses.

As a former Boston School Committee president and city councilor, and a current member of the panel overhauling the city's nightmarish school assignment process, John Nucci is a decorated veteran of Boston's public school battles. He believes the next few months pose the best opportunity in years to finally reconnect schools to their neighborhoods.
"We have to do something bold," he said last week. "Moving a few lines here and there won't cut it. The mayor is right that the goal has to be quality schools close to home."
In many of the suggested plans released earlier in the year, neighborhood schools led to some zones with less than 20% low income kids whereas other zones had greater than 80% low income students. As school performance generally correlates with income level, you will see schools in those wealthier neighborhoods continue to "improve" while others will "decline" if we move in that direction.
I use quotes because I think the metrics being used to measure schools are imperfect at best. It seems to me that upper income students do well regardless of where they attend school in BPS. To determine real quality, we should be looking for schools where low-income and other educationally marginalized students are outperforming their demographic peers at other schools. In my book, these are likely the schools where teaching is above average. Unfortunately, we currently label schools with more upper income kids as higher performing because they have higher test scores, even though all models would predict that this is always going to be the case.
With a return to neighborhood schools, I think we will see a number of unintended consequences. First, whites in majority white neighborhoods will return to BPS and you will see a return to resegregation. Second, these neighborhoods will see a rise in property value, as the schools will appear to be better to many people, whereas other neighborhoods will see a decline in their values. And the sad thing is that some of the schools that will be highly selected are not adding that much to their students.
It is disappointing that Adrian Walker seems to take John Nucci's comments almost verbatim without really looking into why minority members of the EAC might be reluctant to move to 100% neighborhood schools instead of the 50% walk to set asides that exist now. There are lots of code words in this conversation. Busing is one of them but to many neighborhood schools is another. It means influential, higher income neighborhoods using their political clout to take more than their fair share of resources for their schools. To suggest that this could not happen today and that Boston schools could not be segregated even if we tried, denies reality. Walker even acknowledges this in a backwards way with his reference to the segregation of our exam schools. The deliberate exclusiveness of Boston Latin is a perfect example of segregation when we try. Our high school system is segregated on the basis of race, class and disability. if you look at the statistics this is starkly clear. There is a real possibility that changes in the school assignment process at the elementary school level will end up mirroring our high school system even more than it already does. In that system brilliant children who come from immense adversity to be successful are regulated to second, third and fourth class schools while the first rate (at least in terms of resources, connections and reputation) college prep school is out if their grasp. I hope EAC members are concerned about completely solidifying this trend. They should be.
It's a shame that Adrian Walker and John Nucci are only able to view school assignment through such a narrow lens. Their implication that access to quality should not be a part of the discussion is quite disturbing. The assignment process does not need to take place in an either/or vacuum but should be examined with a both/and framework. Creating a better assignment plan and algorithm for all students, their families, and their neighborhoods should be a priority for the EAC.
Interestingly, Nucci and Walker prefer to discuss assignment using racial language but never mention the racial makeup and socioeconomic backgrounds of students in the turn around schools or in the four dozen schools that the mayor wants to have classified as turn around as well.
The fact that EAC members have agreed not to speak publically but the Mayor's office deploys Nucci to represent the EAC sends the message that this is a political process. I would suggest that Mr. Nucci think about the students, all Boston students and not about his political alliances during this process. Mr. Walker, as a columnist, unfortunately has no obligation to do research or act as a journalist, which allows the mayor to frame the issue for him.
I don't get it; Adrian Walker says that EAC members agreed not to talk about their work publicly, and then he gives John Nucci a bully pulpit to do exactly that? Shame on Nucci for breaking trust with his fellow EAC members. I disagree with his major point, anyway: neighborhood schools don't necessarily equal better schools - it all depends. I've had my kids in neighborhood schools, and I've put my them on school buses to travel across the city. Did I love having my five year old spend a long time on buses every morning and afternoon? No, but the school she attended was the best one for her and my family at that time. And we were part of a wonderful school community there, despite our living far from the school's neighborhood. The EAC has an amazing opportunity in its hands - it can affirm for the city that our first commitment is to excellence and equity. Not increased privilege and access for the more fortunate.
It is odd to read that parent engagement = quality = close to home. If Boston Public Schools believed that, why did they go all over the city closing neighborhood schools attended by close-to-home kids? That's what happened at the Farragut, Agassiz, Emerson, and many more. We are taking about schools where the populations were predominantly walk-zone. Further, consider schools like Hernandez and Mission Hill School that historically derive their populations from all over the city. These schools tends to have an active, engaged parent community even though they are generally not close to home for many families. The data does not bear out the "proximity = quality" formula and BPS has shown through its closer and conversion decisions that it does not even BELIEVE this formula.
Further, consider a school such as the Marshall, which is being coverted to a citywide charter run by UP Academy. BPS seems to say that in those cases when close-to-home does NOT lead to quality, it will convert those "underperforming" schools to non-neighborhood non-public schools: they will instead become privately-run citywide charters. Chaters are also not a proven solution to the achievement gap. Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes looked at more than 70 percent of that nation's charter school students and found that only 17 percent of charter students outperformed traditional schools, while 37 percent underperformed traditional schools and 46 percent showed no significant difference.
I found an interesting quote of Nucci's from 2006 here: http://www2.suffolk.edu/files/Archives/oh-059_transcript.pdf "I went to school at a time when we had complete choice as to where we went to school. My parents did not choose to send me to the close school. I could have gone to the neighborhood school, which was East Boston High School. My parents chose to send me ten, twelve miles away at Boston Latin School, because it was the best available school. So I don't believe parents choose the white school or the black school. I don't even believe they have as the only priority the close school. I think they choose the best school, and that's what I think they're doing now."
Luckily, the substance of what has been happening during the EAC process is far better than the Boston Globe has reported. The conversations have been productive and respectful, if necessarily careful. The members of the EAC as a whole do understand what the City needs, and the most recent proposals represent tremendous progress in trying to accomplish all we can with what we have. On the specific issue of transportation (no one hoping to advance the discussion would use "busing") there's a consensus that is clear, but (obviously) not widely understood: Transportation is money well spent when it helps to equalize the access to quality schools of families who have no neighborhood quality schools. There aren't enough good schools, so we have to share them fairly - it's not hard to understand or to agree on. Given the shortage of quality schools in BPS, transportation will certainly be necessary for some time to come - several years at least, despite the steady progress within the BPS toward quality. Otherwise, where possible, all of us would prefer to use the money (and student time) to improve quality. Something else that hasn't been reported: Yes, the EAC did pore over maps and plans. And after weeks of that, they realized that they didn't like any of the plans. None accomplished what the City of Boston needs to accomplish. That's why they're exploring more flexible, zone-less options that group schools. It's a way to provide fair access to quality, reduce transportation, and build community. I hope throwing out the original plans and choosing a much more powerful, if more complex, approach is the "something bold" Mr. Nucci is referring to. Finally, I have to say, this is one of the most irresponsible and uninformed comments I've ever seen: "For in Boston, 'school assignment' is really a polite term for busing." It is a profound disservice to the constructive and difficult process the members of the EAC has taken so far. It also shows how poorly anyone at the Boston Globe understands the work that has been done. So Mr. Walker, come to the meetings, listen to the discussions, understand the proposal, and then come back and right the grievous wrong you have done today.
I went to the meetings and listened to the discussions. The most important piece of "data" that was never presented by the EAC, that I and others requested several times, was the MCAS test scores of BPS students by neighborhood. I still would like to see that, and now I would like to see the MCAS scores of east zone students by neighborhood who are attending East Zone charter schools! The "Circle of Promise" neighborhoods are saturated with them! The students are the data! Where students, who test well, are assigned will determine a schools' "quality!" Everybody knows this!
A "Unified School District" model would have strengthen our school system, but instead of correcting the 40 years of inequities in our traditional public schools, in 1993, Mayor Menino allowed the Boston Public Schools to adopt a "portfolio of schools" model and allowed the charter school network to saturate Boston's "east zone" with segregation academy charter schools: Academy of the Pacific Rim Hyde Park, Boston Collegiate Charter School Dorchester, Boston Day and Evening Academy Roxbury, Boston Preparatory Hyde Park, Boston Renaissance Hyde Park, Bridge Boston Dorchester, City on a Hill Roxbury, Codman Academy Dorchester, Dorchester Collegiate Academy Dorchester, Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter Roxbury, Edward Brooke Roslindale, KIPP Academy Jamaica Plain, MATCH Jamaica Plain and MATCH is entertaining the idea of opening another one in Hyde Park, Neighborhood House Charter Dorchester, Roxbury Preparatory Charter Roxbury, Smith Leadership Charter Dorchester, and soon the UP Academy (aka Marshall) Dorchester! That's only in the East Zone!
BPS reports on their own site, "State law requires BPS to drive charter school students to their schools even if they are outside their home zone, which is a much higher level of service than is provided to most students in BPS! Transportation costs are expected to rise by $2.6 million in FY13 and $20.3 million in FY14 as the number of charter school students in Boston increases." It appears to me, that the Mayor's interest is to move students to schools closer to home, not to "improve quality" or "parent investment," but so he can reallocate traditional school busing expense to charter school transportation!

"That's a speech which I shall faithful-ly report to Mrs. Agnes Townsend," said the gentleman addressed as Marcy, rising. "I shall go back and feast my eyes on this beautiful sister of charity ; and," ho added, taking his traveling satchel and shawl from the rack, "as we stop at the next station, which is due in ten minutes, 1 may as well take my traps through with me and join you on the platform." Thus saying, Richard Marcy threw his shawl over his shoulder, and sauntered leisurely through the long train—rushing blindly to his fate. For, as ho wntered the last car but one, he became witness and an actor in a scene that influenced his whole luture life. ,Tho poor grief-stricken German womun, of whom his companion, Dr Townsend, had spoken, with the dead infant in her arms, sat silently weeping over the Utile d«ad face. The tiiree sturdy children, grouped in childish sorrow about their little brother, was indeed a touching spectacle. But, standing beside them, was the divinity of Dr. Townsend's admiration, and she who was most certainly to "share ends" of the unhappy Richard. She was a tall slender girl of iaighteen, with magnificent eyes and hair. As ho entered the car she was speaking, her lovely face Hushed, and the small, rosy month, disclosing a beautiful sot of teeth. stranger at the door. Ladies, and gentlemen," spokei the sweet voice, 'Hhis poor woman, friendless and penniless, speaking no English, with four little children, was expecting to find work in St. Louis to support ihem. li everything had gone well with her it would have been hard for her ; but with her little dead bnby and her sorrowful heart, she is certainly a deserving object of charily ; and I propose that such as /^el willing, contribute their mite towards a little purse for her immediate wants and the burial of her poor baby. And," she added, with a bewitching smile, "if any gentleman will lend me a hat, I will go round and take up a collection." In an instant the gallant Richard pull-ed his traveling c ip from his blonde curls and offered it to the Angel of Mercy, who accepted it with a smile, this time all his own, and commenced gathering the readi-ly forthcoming dollars her .generous, graceful appeal brought from the purses of,all in the car. Richard watched the slender figure in gray, gathering the money ; and looking at the pbid cap in the white, jewelled fingers, .he bethought him of his own do-nation, and stepping to the seat the beau-ty had just occupied, he laid his satchel and shawl upon a family of its kind, be-longing to the, angel in gray, and took from his pocket a ten dollar bill which he placed in the little hst.nd that returned him his cap. Fu^heiir damage the poor fellow received, wue® a second smile and warmly worded thanks: for his liberal con-tribution were dealt him from y i e beaiuti* ftii-mouthv^ ( • / I Dick was in the midst of an elabor-ate reply, when the oars stopped. He lingered yet another moment, seized his satchel and shawl with his eyes still on the face of his charmer, and then, even as the cars were again in motion, he be thought himself of the doctor, and hurri-edly l<ift the car andjoici'd his friend on the platform. "Well," ejaculated that worthy, "I be-gan to believe you'd concluded to go and bury the dead baby and mnke the protec-ting beauty Mrs. Angelica Mai'cy. Isn't she a stunner ?" "Townsend," returned his friend, 'don't use slang in speaking of the noble creature." He looked after the train just disap-pearing in the distance. 'I wish to heav-en,' he continued, 'I'd remained on board, [low stupid I was to leave. I might have learned her name and residence. And now—' 'Now, in all probability,' broke in the doctor, 'you'll never meet her in this vale oftears. But you'll know her in heaven, if you behave yourself well enough to get there, by her wings ; she'll have the big-gest of any of them, seeing they've com-menced to sprout on eartti.' And thus rallying his thoroughly cap-tivated lri(.'nd,the two made tiieir way to tiie house of an acquaintance, with whom they were to remniii that night, and go on the next tlay to their dostiiiaiion—St. Louis. ^ Afier the first salutation, our hero went 10 his room, to remove some of the evi'lonces of his long ride from New York, lie hfxl removed his coat, vest and collar; he had splashed and soaped and washed, till his damp curls clung close to his shapely head, when he made a startling discovery. Flushed and breathless he burst into the next room, upon his friend. 'Townsend,' cried he, 'what upon earth do you suppose ? I've got the wrong bag. I've changed bug<rage with the Angel of Mercy. Look at that slipper See that ihiml»le. Contemplate that glove. •li's evident you've got the lady's satch' el. And what was thero in your own V 'Don't bring up that dreadful idea,' said Dick.

'Why, of all chiiigs !' exclaimed the de-lighted girl, seizing the letter. 'Why Rosa, this is Jenny Marcy's writing, and addressed to Richard Marcy, her only darling brother, who was in Europe when we two were graduated at Madam Ritter's in Brooklyn. Belle read rapidly until she icached the middle of the letter, when she burst into a merry laugh. 'Hear this, Rosa,' she said, read from the letter : Above all things, Dick, dear, don't fail. Belle blushed. 'But Dick has fall(ifi hopelessly, madly in love !' B<4le turned pale. 'Yes, 1 was so dreadfully provoked when he passed through St, Louis, and never went near you. But he went wild over some lady he met on that fatal trip.' He will talk by the hours of his Angel-ica.

The Hotel Tara Palace is arguably the best location for anyone wanting an honest colourful taste of Old Delhi. Step out and walk to many tourist hotspots.... We were picked up from the airport late evening and arrived at what seemed a scarry neighbourhood. I remember reading " be brave " sure enough we were escourted down a laneway to find a charming old building with attractive marbel flooring throughout and a lift to carry your luggage upstairs. We slept peacefully and in airconditioned comfort. While there are no hot bubble baths to be had, room service is good and the meals are good. If you want a view then climb the stairs to the roof top to see the Red Fort & Jama Masjid while you sip your morning chai tea. I will definately stay there again, there is too much to see.

SMF Development > Feature Requests
Allow UNION and sub selects
Topic title says all ;) the db layer kinda sucks..
--- Code: --- // We don't use UNION in SMF, at least so far. But it's useful for injections.
if (strpos($clean, 'union') !== false && preg_match('~(^|[^a-z])union($|[^[a-z])~s', $clean) != 0)
$fail = true;
--- End code ---
--- Code: --- // Sub selects? We don't use those either.
elseif (preg_match('~\([^)]*?select~s', $clean) != 0)
$fail = true;
--- End code ---
should be removed IMHO.
You can disable those checks if you are writing mods.
And then it will allow you to run those selects.
青山 素子:
The older versions of MySQL that SMF supports didn't support those features. This will likely be changed in the future.
Also, keep in mind that using those features might break compatibility with Postgresql and sqlite.

As I've always told all of You, when I'm right I'll Fight, and when I'm wrong I'll Apologize, and I think this one was All Me!! I think the change in my condition for the worse, along with the change in Meds. may have made me do things I wasn't realizing, and I'm going to Work Hard to try and recognize those things, and change the way I'm doing them! Thanks to ALL OF YOU for the support, and Tomorrow, I'll be at Home, where I belong!! I Hope You all have Pain Free Days, and Nights full of uninterrupted Sleep!!

RE: Need of a Little Time!
Thanks for letting us help you thru....we all know how much you love her....maybe its time she came on also or found her own support group....this (WC)can be so hard to fight with friends I cant imagine going it alone.....Bill sometimes reads something I call his attention to but prefers going out and taking a hammer to something or mowing the back pasture...but for some of us we need to talk it out....or POGO Bill POGOs alot at night when he is working something out in his mind.....
;)Workmans comp is not a road you want to travel alone.You need a good lawyer,a great family and good friends to lean on.If you make it thru without losing everything you have worked for all your life,you have come out ahead of the game..... |

RE: Need of a Little Time!
My Wife does come on here and Read the Posts, and they have Helped Her to Better understand this whole situation, and She's a Big POGO Fan!! I renew Her Subscription to POGO Every Christmas as a Part of Her Present. I think We will be Fine, this is a tough Road, w/c, and I don't think any of Us that have been in it for any length of Time haven't had Problems in the Home. This System is designed to cause Unrest and Monetary problems for the Injured Worker and their Families, it's a shame to say, but it's almost Exactly like Dealing with the Mafia, minus the Horse Head in the Bed or the Fish being delivered to Your Door!! They break all the Laws they wish, and they also Break all of the Moral Codes We Hold Dear, in Hopes of Winning, and beating up the Little Guy! What a Shame, a Federal and State Program, put into Place for an Injured Worker, can be soo Corrupt, and allowed to be so! If the Prison System was run like the w/c System, You can bet Your A** there would be less Crime!! O.K., enough Bitc***g, You all have a Great Day, I'm going to watch the Steelers Game with My Son and Grand Son!!

RE: Need of a Little Time!
Still...Sorry I fell behind with this thread...but never did I quit praying for you and your family. You said it in the last post...wc keeps our lives in so much turmoil that when we are trying to keep our lives together as much to what was normal. It is a constant battle. A battle that wears us down. The sad part is that is just what wc is trying to do. When we need as the injuried is time to spend on us to heal and get all the needed medical care...we end up having to fight and fight. We live in fear all the time of what is the IC going to do next...stop all our benifits. It is just so sad that our lives end up being full of having to fight and fight never let your guard down...there is a PI following you. So when it comes to the ones we love the most....we forgot they are there because the love us...they have done nothing to deserve any of this. I have told my family I am sorry that I am dragging them through this...but then at times after I have been through a major pain flare up...I am just so angery at the whole world...and things have come out of my mouth to the people I love the most. And it is the anger and pain. I also feel that we get that fight and fight mode in our minds....so we are ready for next thing the IC is going to try to do to us...so it's with us all the time. I hate that I am getting that way....It's not me. But I refuse to give in to the IC....I did nothing wrong. But then again our family feel that in us also. The anger and the being on the edge ready to jump when the phone rings and it's the Attorney or the mail comes with a letter that has more information that has us feeling like that criminal so we are ready to put up the wall of defense and start fighting back. When life at home was a safe haven for all. But our families do forget we are home all day and may of been on that phone with the attorney or dealing with that letter....so the minute they walk in that door we want to talk to the person who we love the most....I have had to really teach myself to give all my attention to my hubby as I should. ANd wait to bounce on him with all the BS of WC. But it really is eating me up inside....because that is what they are wanting to do to us. Still I am saying this because I know what you are saying. My hubby is my best friend and the love of my life. But wc can take a toll on every aspect of your life. PLEASE come here and vent and scream when things are just to much....we will listen and understand that you got to get it off your chest. Your wife would like for you to do it here to. It is just a crying shame this has to happen to any of us...all because we did our jobs. I will say is again...even sadder....That we allow it to happen in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

RE: Need of a Little Time!
That was an excellant post and I agree with you so much. You said it perfectly. Limbo please do as Spring suggested and get on here and releive your frustrations or PM one of us if you prefer, before you say something that you'll regret later. Been there and done that. It will be hard with all the changes going on for you, with your meds. and all, but try for your sake and your families sake. Words do hurt, and sometimes we don't realize just how much. I'm glad things are looking better for you. We are all here if and when you need us. Take care Vickie |
