Sweet - thanks for the votive report. I have ordered tarts (fall) but I am having a heck of a time finding the new scents since the alphabet list is gone. The search takes me all over, and sometimes I never do locate them if they are not obvious fragrances. (Where to start looking for Cowgirl Up? )
I also need to take down decorations tomorrow, and I wonder if the nutcrackers have been multiplying - there seems like a lot more to put away than there were to set up!

I want to thank you guys for your thoughtful sentiments awhile back. You all have such generosity of spirit!
I haven't melted much lately, but I was able to properly ring the new year in with LSC's Sweet Snow. It's strong, cool, and minty fresh.
May 2012 be a wonderful year for each of you and all your families and friends!

Aria,lucky you. Our kids don't go back until Thursday. It's not been just my own two around here either. They seem to have formed a posse of buddies tromping through the house all day.
Sweet, Nene's Gingerbread Boy you say? I'll add it to my list. Happy New Year.

Melting LSC Amaretto Nog this morning and burning YC Italian Christmas Biscotti and YC Mistletoe & Fig.
I still have loads of holiday scents to melt. I will see how long I can continue melting them before I am sick of them. I will try a while longer.
We had our big New Years Day party yesterday. It went well. Unfortunately my FIL suffered a massive heart attack yesterday and is not doing well. He has not been well since July. Very sad.

DH left for Mexico this morning...he is working there for the next couple of months. He'll come home every two weeks for the weekend and then go back. He was not thrilled about going, but he'll be making lots of money which is right up his alley. I am a little worried about him being there since he will stick out like a sore thumb, but there is a whole group of his coworkers down there also. They stick together going places and don't venture out alone.
Scent of the day over here is Sugar Cookie Dough Bread from Front Porch
Michele, prayers for your FIL...so sorry to hear that.
Maggie, once again, your melts sound delightful.
Happy New Years to you to Gail
Jules, wow, Thursday?? Yikes! I know what you mean about the nonstop friends coming and going all day long. I do love when there's a lot of activity in the house, but it is also soooooo nice to have the house all to yourself.
Need to get moving here...it's cold today, so hopefully the ice rink will freeze over...an entire Christmas vacation gone and the boys didn't get to skate in the yard once.

Debra - I was very frustrated trying to find scents, too. Most of the scent names give us NO clue what category to find them in, so I wrote and asked if they would go back to the alpha list - you might want to add your request, too. That's when Danny discovered the problem w/the search engine. As far as I know, that's been fixed - just now I typed 'cowgirl' into the search engine & it show's Cowgirl Up is in the nutty/berry category. Do U get their newsletter? They always list new scents in that and am glad they've now started putting the descriptions with them. Helps a lot!
Michele - prayers for your FIL for healing and a good report.
Puppy - so good to C U - hope all is well with you!
I'm melting and burning the same scent - McCalls Country Store.

Aria, I hope you will be able to keep yourself occupied while your DH is gone. I know what that long-distance stuff is like.
I'm melting GHBT Tayberry & Teakwood today. DH goes back to work tomorrow.

Not getting tired of Christmas scents yet, so I've changed to CFTKR's Christmas Cabin. I'm not typically a seasonal melter, so don't be surprised to see me still melting this in June.

Jules--good for you getting things all cleaned up--a good way to start a new year.
Gail--great to see you!
This afternoon it is Crosscreek Blueberry Peeps--just starting but I like it.

Comments about Steve Silver Company Steve Silver Branson Double Drop Leaf Table in Natural:
We are happy with this table and it fits in our space perfectly. What we especailly liked was the drop leave sides, which gives us a little extra space when needed. I only wish that it was a little heavier giving it a more solid feel, although this table is sturdy, it is quite light-weight and I would like it to be a little heavier. All in all, a good table for the price and was attaching the legs was a breeze.

QUOTE Mariah Carey, Donita Rose, Brown Monkey... This was not so much a malicious hoax as it was the product of much-exaggerated tabloid reportage. Mariah Carey didn't say or do any of this. Don't believe it, don't forward it. Dear Fellow Filipinos, It is truly unfortunate that MARIAH CAREY is Racist against us. In one of her concerts she asked her audience if there were any Filipinos among them. A jubilant section of the crowd cheered because these Filipinos thought they were being acknowledged, the ice cold Mariah said in a wicked voice and shout "GET OUT". This made the Filipinos loose face. Another incident happened on an MTV Asia interview in which Mariah was interviewed by Donita Rose. Mariah was asked for a commentary about Asia's Songbird and the Pride of the Pride of the Filipino people, Regine Velasquez. And she hissed at Donita by saying our beloved Regine, is "a brown monkey who can sing." I personally found her comments very insulting since I am a Filipina myself. I hope everyone who reads this spreads the word and boycotts her albums. If you want proof of these allegations go to abs-cbnnews.com and click on celebrities. Please pass this message to all your FILIPINO friends. The story was actually published on ABS-CBNnews.com. But after some time, the article turned out to be the product of unprofessional journalism on the part of the ABS-CBN celebrity reporter. Alleged sources of the misinformation vary, usually pointing to an unidentified tabloid with references to elements in the local PR industry. ABS-CBNnews.com has since then put out an article which, though not exactly apologetic, debunks the rumors and sets the record straight. Donita Rose's disclaimer in the Philippine Star says that she never had such an interview with Mariah Carey. "The said article claims that international superstar Mariah Carey made a derogatory remark when asked to comment on our own Regine Velasquez during an interview I supposedly conducted for MTV Asia. This alleged interview never took place except in the fertile minds of people who have not bothered to check their facts and made me an unwitting party to a distressing situation." It's important to ask when you receive this kind of message: would a professional, world-famous artist like Mariah Carey deliberately self-destruct her career by being so blatantly racist? If she did, wouldn't such an act make headlines in entertainment news around the world? Mariah Carey herself is heir to a mixed racial heritage, with an African-American father. It's unlikely that someone who has grown up with this knowledge, fully aware of the prejudice that accompanies such a background, would herself become prejudiced against other racial groups. I also advise some discreet caution when reading ABS-CBNnews.com's entertainment section. This isn't the first -- or last -- time it's happened. Come to think of it, I'd advise that for any "showbiz tsismis"-type feature. http://pula.ph/?article=mariah_carey_racism_rumor totoo ba ito What I think Regine is feeling maganda and ang yabang yabang niya akala niya maganda siya hindi naman talaga at provocative pa minsan ang damit niya di naman bagay! even my mother tells it nga na ganoon talaga siya ang maganda sa kanya boses hindi mukha This post has been edited by BishoujoHunter: May 27 2004, 04:48 AM |

"Talked to the HEAT yesterday. Wow was that interesting – getting to talk to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh just a few days after their great NBA victory. Was sitting in front of my TV during Game 4 of the finals and thought if they win, this will be triple sweet for them after all the naysayers and hoopla surrounding last year's defeat.
So we called and they said Yes; Come on down to Miami after the parade.
It was clear to me, and will be to you too, that this Championship is not just about basketball but so much more. We talked about how sweet it is to prove "I told you so" to yourself."

Mother Pleads for News of Missing Girl, 13
-->By: Priscilla Luong
Updated: January 4, 2011
The middle school student's mother, Billie Jean Dunn, she says the message she wants to send to her daughter is simple.
"I want her to know that I have to have her back," she said, with tears in her eyes, "And her dad has to have her back. We're torn up."
The popular teen at Colorado City Middle School vanished without a trace just two days after Christmas. She was last seen at her home, at 1804 Chestnut in Colorado City, in the afternoon. Hailey said she was going to her dad's house before visiting her best friend, but Hailey never made it to either destination.
"We love her and if she left on her own free will, or whatever reason she left, we can fix it," Billie Jean said, "we can deal with it."
With no sign of foul play, the Colorado City Police Department is treating the case as a runaway.
"She's a wonderful girl. She has a little attitude sometimes, but not a bad kid," Billie Jean explained. "I've never had to worry about Hailey doing anything bad such as run away or do drugs, sex, anything of that nature. I don't worry about that."The fact that Hailey never packed any bags leads family and friends to believe that she didn't leave intentionally.
"That raised some red flags to us, and really, really worried us." said Shawn Adkins.
John Bivens, Chief of Police in Colorado City, said officers are following several leads at this time, and won't rest until Hailey makes it home safe.
As Texas Rangers and local investigators continue their search for Hailey, her mother prays for her little girl's safe return.
"God gave her to us, and we want her back," she said.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Hailey's safe return.

Team Legend - Phil Neal
One of the most-decorated players in English football history, with a quite astonishing run of consecutive appearances for Liverpool… 417 games in a row, a Liverpool record.

We are currently looking for some additional players that would like to become part of our team. We practice twice a week under the direction of a top-class, certified coach, in a positive learning environment. We average one game per week where the girls have the opportunity to display their hard work, excitement and team spirit.

Published February 12, 2007.
For a grilled chicken recipe with evenly cooked meat that would require much less effort and attention than a whole bird, we butterflied the chicken—a simple process in which the bird is placed on its breast and the backbone is removed. Pounding the bird for our grilled chicken recipe made it slightly more attractive, and cutting slits on either side of the breast to tuck in each leg allowed the chicken to cook up neat, tidy, and flat. And since the butterflied, pounded, and tucked chicken was so much thinner than a whole roaster, it could be cooked over a medium-hot direct fire in just about half an hour.
We tested this recipe many times with a 3-pound chicken. Although grilling conditions vary, each time we cooked the chicken, it was done in less than 30 minutes—12 minutes on one side and 12 to 15 minutes on the other. For chickens that weigh closer to 3 1/2 pounds, plan on the full 15 minutes once the chicken has been turned.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).

i thikn the message is great the construction is some of the best in streetwear but i must agree.. dont we think it a bit problematic that the message is indeed... embedded within the inside of the hoody. sure someone might mention that the real reason they did this is so that the message or iconic history of those who have suffered for the blacks are closer to our heart by being inside the garment.. but might it be a cop out? by doign that they ensure that all types will buy their product. Its a bit too safe for me. if they wanna have a message. put the shit on the outside and let the consumer make their own judgement as to whether or not they wanna be completely revolutionary. a bit of a cop out if you ask me.
^^ word because white professors always be checkin the inside print on my hoodies. And grading me based on that.
I'm guessing most will protest this kind of stuff, cuz doing so is PC, and we're all supposed to be shocked and appalled by this kind of thing. "How dare you make light of slavery?!?"
the logo is alright, if you reject it so badly you also reject the truth of black origins in n.america, no matter how shit they may have been its something that shouldnt be forgotten...
and whats pc about getting mad at this imagery?? whats the next logo gonna be a noose wit a ***** hanging from it...u gonna call it the strange fruit hoody?!? fucking morons these are reasons why blacks are treated the way they are in america...because people think that was a foregone part of US History...when really is at the foreground on how blacks are treated and how they treat themselves in americas society...my bad for rambling but I got a degree in Pan-africanism and shit like this just pisses me off farreal...
i think the brand is working! if they didn't release these hoodies, no one on this entire board would even be thinking about slavery and how blacks are treated. these item are more than just clothes, their conversation pieces!they make you think, as art is supposed to do!
This is some of the stupidest fuckin shit I've yet to read on this thread. I guarantee this dude and 90% of all the other people defendin this bullshit are white.
I'm gonna design a shirt with this as the design:
That should spark some controversy and be good too!
now thats offensive...........you should be ashamed of yourself homie! i dont even have anymore words for that!.....damn dude!
youre an idiot homie...so cats is wrong for complaining about somebody trying to commercialize slavery?!? wtf? who cares if the dude is black, that dont justify it...if anything it makes it worse...
i can't wait til see what they would make for us asians.
What are you five? Would you rather that people pretended slavery never happened? would you rather that we denied that America's position of the greatest superpower on earth is basically built on the stolen lives of tens of thousands of slaves? You're the moron who wants to sweep history under the rug. we have to confront the past and learn from our mistakes or we'll be right back there soon enough. when was the last time a clothing brand made you think about anything this deeply? you gotta give props to Adrian A for kickstarting this debate if nothing else/
This is some more stupid shit.
Why is not wanting a slave as a logo the same as trying to ignore slavery? No one's trying to forget slavery, we just don't agree with the exploitation of it to further a clothing brand.
What debate? A debate on a message board? Oh man, what influence this guy must have. Fuckin idiots, I swear. You all must be 16 or younger.

You guys just love to drop some disses and make a dumb comment and shit on a real conversation huh.
I think thats their logo because they use hand picked cotton.
That's funny coz i thought you and elprezzo were 15, tops. I never said this is the illest logo of all time or it's for everyone. BUT i do think the brand brings an important issue to the forefront in much the same in-your-face way that Dave Chapelle deals with much of the same issues. And if the brand can spark this debate here on Hypebeast, a forum dedicated to the most vain and meaninglessly allover printed flashes in the pan, then perhaps it's doing its job elsewhere too. You guys just love to drop some disses and make a dumb comment and shit on a real conversation huh.

"personally really enjoyed the specialty drink menu and was also very happy to find that they recently began delivering, which I must try out!"
"and everything was great, I can't wait to come check the place out in person!"
"It was typical bad-business and unnecessary attitude that makes you REALLY not want to go back to an obnoxious bar!"
"The waitresses are always total sweethearts, and even the deilvery guy, (and yes tihs place delivers, which is of course another great perk), is really nice and fast another big perk!"
"And it definitely is - the ambiance is nice, the decor is classy, and the menu is pricey."
"also love being able to watch sports center all day long and enjoy a great brunch and good cocktails!"
The Ainsworth is one of the worst bars in NYC. It is pretty much T.G.I.Friday's at 4 times the price. Plus, the staff is routinely pretentious - you would think that they were working at Le Cirque. Do yourselves a favor and choose another spot...trust me...I have been here 4 times now, and my impression is not a one-time fluke.
A great scene. This is where you go on any given night for Hot guys and great sports. There is nothing like this in the city.
LOVE THIS PLACE. Went there Thursday night and had a great time....First time I went was opening night and I have been back many times. Great place to go when its really busy to meet cool people or also when its slow to just grab a drink with a friend and catch up
Definitely coming back here!.
This restaurant is great! The food is wonderful and the service was superb! I really enjoyed dining here, the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. I would definitely recommend the tuna tartar tacos, very tasty with a kick to them.
Everyone should dine there, I think it has something to offer a variety of different tastes and personalities!
Not good. The food is overpriced and bad, drinks are expensive, and for something that calls itself a sports bar, it's almost impossible to watch a game.
Best Sports Bar in NYC.
Hot Waitresses
Great bar food
50 LCD 50" TVs
Who could ask for more?!?
Not A Fan. The food is ridiculously overpriced and most meals are not worth the money. Definitely not worth going to.
Horrendous Service.
was really excited when a sports bar opened in the neighborhood but the service is unbearable.
i have been a few times the food is lacking, and the service is always terrible and i don't think i'll be going back after last night's horrendous dinner.
the waitress was unresponsive to our requests for drinks and just way too slow. it took 45 minutes to get a burger to the table. we watched as our waitress stood by the bar, eating, watching TV, and texting on her cell phone. she had 4 tables to cover, which should be a breeze for even the rookie waitress. bad food and absolutely horrible service.
Really Slow service. Waited well over an hour for an order of wings and fries. The place wasn't even crowded. Terrible.
Bad in every category.
This place doesn't have a solid identity. It tries to be a place for nice food/drinks, a dance party, a sports party, and a chill neighborhood watering hole. It fails in every category.
The staff gives off a sleazy vibe to me. The drink are overpriced and the food is gross. Bad all around.

About Color-Change Diaspore
Diaspore, sometimes marketed under the name Zultanite, is a color change gem from Turkey recently introduced to the international market. Diaspore is a hydrated aluminum oxide colored by manganese. It was first faceted as a gemstone in the 1980's, but has never been mined commercially until recently. With reasonably good hardness (6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale) and good brilliance, Diaspore has been attracting considerable attention in the gem world. Under natural or fluorescent light, Diapsore has a kiwi green color, with flashes of yellow. Diaspore displays a champagne color under incandescent lighting, and when exposed to subdued lighting, such as candlelight, it has a pinkish color. The larger the stone, the more pronounced the color change effect will be. |

Illinois Officials Spar Over Order to Make List of Gun Owners Public
In a showdown over the privacy rights of gun owners, the Illinois State Police are refusing to release a list identifying all firearm permit holders in the state after Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan determined that the information "must" be made public.
At least the State Police seem to have their shit together in refusing this little tinpot harridan's grab, but that doesn't make the fact that she presumed it in the first place any more palatable.
Assistant Public Access Counselor Matthew Rogina, citing federal court decisions as well as Illinois law, wrote in a letter to the state police attorney that disclosing the names "cannot be characterized as highly personal or objectionable."
Not to him, maybe, but then I'm sure he doesn't carry anything as "objectionable" as a firearm. The sinister little busybody probably has bodyguards to do that for him.
"Therefore, even if disclosure of the names and expiration of the (Firearm Owner's Identification Card) card owners did constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, this fact is outweighed by the public interest that exists in ensuring the integrity of the (police) database," he wrote
Someone explain to me how that's a function of the public having access to all those names, and not just the police? Are the police letting random people update their databases for them now? The police ALREADY HAVE both those names and the responsibility to keep their own databases up to date.
They should just knock off the pathetic justifications and come right out and say what they mean: if you dare to exercise your second amendment rights, they want you to know they know exactly who you are and where you live, and they're going to advertise that to everyone else who might be interested as well. So if you don't want that kind of attention - the kind that might get your boss's nose out of joint if he happens to lean left, or give your ex-wife's lawyer leverage against you in a custody case, for example - then you'd better reconsider your right to bear arms.

�I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay.
And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.
Furthermore, I�m sure the President knows that we have repeatedly praised the more than 300,000 government workers who come to work every day in Wisconsin.
I�m sure that President Obama simply misunderstands the issues in Wisconsin, and isn�t acting like the union bosses in saying one thing and doing another.�

...The union horde is spreading, from Madison to Indianapolis to a state capital near you. And yet the Democratic and union bigwigs engineering the outrage haven't directed their angry multitudes at what is arguably the most "hostile workplace" in the nation: Washington, D.C.
It will no doubt surprise you to learn that President Obama, the great patron of the working man, also happens to be the great CEO of one of the least union-friendly shop floors in the nation.
This is, after all, the president who has berated Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to limit the collective bargaining rights of public employees, calling the very idea an "assault on unions." This is also the president who has sicced his political arm, Organizing for America, on Madison, allowing the group to fill buses and plan rallies. Ah, but it's easy to throw rocks when you live in a stone (White) house.
Fact: President Obama is the boss of a civil work force that numbers up to two million (excluding postal workers and uniformed military). Fact: Those federal workers cannot bargain for wages or benefits. Fact: Washington, D.C. is, in the purest sense, a "right to work zone." Federal employees are not compelled to join a union, nor to pay union dues. Fact: Neither Mr. Obama, nor the prior Democratic majority, ever acted to give their union chums a better federal deal...

So are you saying that you don't have access to computers? If not that is no big deal there is still plenty that you can do. Maybe you can set up stations? You can also find tons of lessons online. You can break a lesson into mini lessons and make it work over several weeks. I just friended you so if you need more help we can communicate that way. Let me know specifics and it may be easier for me to help you.
I am working on this very thing on my website right now. My lessons are designed for 35 minute class periods. I normally do stations in my classes. Visit Elementary Librarian and look for my updates on Facebook and Twitter! So far I've finished August and September. I'll be posting more about my plans in the next couple of weeks! Good luck.
Yavodka, This is a tricky one. I didn't realize you had to cram book checkout into class time. What I do with my stations is have students visit one station per week. In other words, they rotate to a different station the next time I see them (the next week) instead of the same day. So we'll work on the same 3 centers for an entire month.
It's the only way I can work more closely with the students and give them individual attention. Do you have an assistant that can handle book check in and out?
No I do not have an assistant. I usually try to make it easy by reading a picture book and doing a craft. However because some of my classes are so large its difficult. Plus, when you add that I pay for most/sometimes all of the supplies myself it gets hard. Especially, since I commute 54 miles each way to my job. I must admit that all of the advice I have been getting is helping. I'm just thinking of ways to incorporate the stations. I have 2 computers that work SLOWLY but I'm sure that I can do the stations thing.
You can do it! I know how frustrating this is for you. Is there any way you could get a parent volunteer to help with checkout? One way I buy myself a little time during checkout is to make barcode cards for the students so I don't have to be tethered to the computer. They can scan their own card and their own books. It's not perfect, but it does help a lot.
Can you apply for technology grants to get some more computers? I have 9 computers, so I usually make the computer one of my stations.
Hi Jocelyn, I like your idea of rotating stations once per visit. This will be my first year as a librarian - new school - new staff - new kids! I have each class for around 50 minutes, plenty of time to complete a lesson and check out books. I'd love to hear some of your station ideas.
Cindy, I usually do 3 stations. One of them is always a computer station, where we do a variety of activities related to the library. In another station, I try to review a skill we've already learned. In the 3rd station, I usually work with students on a new or unfamiliar skill.
The idea is for the students in the first two stations to be able to work independently (or with help from their peers) so that you can work with the third station.
I've done all kinds of stuff in my stations like standard pencil and paper work, sorting cards of sight words in ABC order, board games (for a behavior reward), dictionary practice, partner reading books, drawing a picture and describing a favorite part of a book, cutting out books and pasting them in the proper order on a shelf, etc.
Hope that gives you some ideas. :)
It's great information, thank you!
I know that this sounds dumb... but have students work on recalling beginning, middle, end of each story... You can do this verbally or have them illustrate it on paper. It fills a need for sequenceing storylines in English/LA standards and believe it or not... it is a hard skill for my K-2 students. Most of them get it by the middle of 2nd grade, but K and 1st... really have to work at it. If they are illustrating the storyline then you can call them up a few at a time to check out.
Absolutely, I forgot the obvious!!! That is challenging for my students as well! Another good one is to go through: setting; characters; problem; solution; summary; main idea; lesson/moral. You can also make a story cube. Have the kids roll a 5x5 (approx.) cardboard box & you can label ea. side with setting, main character, etc. They can sit in a large circle on the floor and roll it to come up with the answers. They love doing this!

Pacific willow typically occurs in early seral communities along river banks or on moist alluvium [8,18]. In the Rocky Mountains these riparian communities are often adjacent to zones of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), or ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) [8,18]. In California it occurs in riparian forests as a codominant with red alder (Alnus rubra), black cottonwood, and Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) [35].

variax detection by workbench
Like (0)
I can't have my variax 700 detected by USB interface or even through X3 live. Problems I could detect was lack of MIDI out with MS wavetable, then searched over the internet, tried many things with no success to fix it and ended up installing MIDI Yoke which made MIDI ports show up again, but even so work bench can't see my guitar.
Any suggestion??
This sounds like a connection issue. Have you tried different USB ports and cables? Are you sure the drivers are installed for the X3? Is the X3 visible in Monkey?
Line 6 Customer Support
Yes I have tried diferent USB ports and cables. The digital cable of Variax works well with pod X3. Yes pod X3 connects alright and can be seen by line 6 monkey. The USB abapter for variax can also be seen b monkey. I have already reinstalled the drivers, even being already up to date.
I use windows XP.
Does the Variax 700 work when not connected to the computer? It sounds like you could have a configuration problem in Windows. Can you try the X3 and 700 with another computer?

I have just been able to try it on other computer with windows 7. Same symptoms. System doesn't show the MIDI in or out and then can't estabelish connection with usb device, regardless if there is a guitar connected or not.
What else can I try? Any way of checking or configuring windows midi ports that I'm missing??
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried different cables, ports and Computers (although all running Windows 7 64 bit). All I get is "No Device Detected"...
Any thoughts?
Hi filtertip, any good news about our problem??
Just bought a Variax Workbench USB adapter hoping to edit and update the firmware on my Variax Acoustic 700. I have connected the interface to my computer (2011 MacBook Pro). Line 6 Monkey detects and updates the USB interface, Workbench etc. without a problem.
Workbench launches and after I tell it that it is connected to the USB interface it lists it as an attached device BUT never detects the guitar. I have tried it in Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion but Workbench still doesn't find the guitar.
The USB interface lights up green on the computer side but flashes red on the guitar side. The Variax lead is plugged in securely and the guitar is getting power from the XPS box and the LED on the control panel is on.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Ian.
