Eagles' Kolb to take first-team snaps
PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb told ESPN on Monday that he is still in pain and was not sure whether he will be back for the Eagles game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
"There is still pain," McNabb told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio in a brief interview as he arrived for treatment Monday at the team's practice facility in South Philadelphia.
"With these rib injuries, I don't know. It's Monday. We'll see how it goes."
Eagles head coach Andy Reid said Monday that backup quarterback Kevin Kolb will take all the first-team quarterback snaps in practice on Wednesday. Kolb, who had 391 yards passing with two touchdowns and three interceptions in the loss to the Saints, will start if McNabb cannot play.
McNabb was injured in the season opener at Carolina. He didn't practice last week and was ruled out 90 minutes before kickoff.
There is no reason to rush McNabb back this week. Under the terms of his reinstatement, Michael Vick can play for the Eagles this Sunday. Team sources said Reid is putting together an extensive package of plays for Vick, including shotgun and Wildcat formations. Against the Saints on Sunday, the Eagles lined up in the Wildcat nine times, gaining 45 yards.
If Reid plans to use Vick as a quarterback on Sunday, he will have to list him as the backup to Kolb, meaning that Jeff Garcia would have to be the third quarterback. Under league game-day rules, if Vick were listed as the third quarterback, and Reid inserted him in the first three quarters of the game, Kolb and Garcia would no longer be eligible to re-enter the game.
Reid, who would not say what he has planned for Vick, suggested that Vick was not ready for full-time quarterback duties in a regular-season game.
"Is he 100 percent back? I don't think so," Reid said. "I don't plan on putting him in that position."
In the event Vick does play, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell does not plan to attend Sunday's game, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Paolantonio.

(aged 62)
Instruments | Drums |
Associated acts | Los Brincos Barrabás |
José Fernando Arbex Miró (18 May 1941 – 5 July 2003) was an influential Spanish musician and songwriter from Madrid, who enjoyed success both with his own groups and also with other artists.
While still in his teens, he was the drummer in Los Estudiantes, and in 1965 he formed the very successful pop band Los Brincos (often seen as the "Spanish Beatles") in which he also played drums. After that group split in the late 1960s, Arbex formed the progressive Latin rock trio Alacran with Iñaki Egaña and Oscar Lasprilla. When Lasprilla left the band and moved to England, Arbex and Egaña founded the Latin disco and rock-orientated Barrabás, who went on to considerable European success throughout the 1970s. Their most successful hit single "Woman" found its way on to the charts in the United States.
Alongside his career as a musician, Arbex acted as a producer and songwriter for many successful acts, including Jose Feliciano, Harry Belafonte, Nana Mouskouri, Emilio Aragón, Miguel Bosé and Middle of the Road. He also recorded works outside the world of popular music. He composed the original music for the first Spanish Musical "La Maja de Goya", and music for cinema and ballet.
In 2000, he reformed Los Brincos for an extremely successful special concert in A Coruña, and also recorded with a reformed Barrabás.
Fernando Arbex died in 2003 after a long illness.

We feel enormously lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley Baber Weddings. From the first encounter, throughout our phone calls/texts/emails/meetings, through the entire rehearsal/wedding day, Amanda and Ashley have been THE consummate professionals, offering their expertise, skills, friendliness, and general awesomeness to us, our families, and all of our wedding guests. It was truly a gift to get to work with them!
When we started wedding planning, I was on the fence about needing to hire planning help; however, I quickly realized after meeting Amanda that I not only needed help, but that her expertise and fun, sweet personality would add enormously to the planning process and wedding day. She always made my mom and I feel at ease with her, she met whenever requested or scheduled, she answered my many questions via email and calls, and mostly - I just loved getting to know her! Even throughout a pregnancy and maternity leave, Amanda and Ashley handled any changes seamlessly, professionally, and cheerfully.
Our wedding had a complex bridal party, many cultural and religious requests, two different venues for ceremony and reception, and a long wedding day - and they made it look like a breeze! Every detail was considered and planned for, either discussed in advance or handled quickly. Seriously, I know I'm not even aware of all the details they covered behind the scenes.
I could never have predicted just how invaluable it was to hire Ashley and Amanda. We can't thank them enough!

Ashley and Amanda were truly wonderful! I can honestly say that we could not have planned our wedding without them! We used the full service package, so we had Ashley with us from the beginning stages of wedding planing. This was especially helpful because we were living in a Michigan for the first few months of planning. With Ashley's help, we were able to start planning our wedding from 700 miles away. Ashley suggested fantastic and affordable vendors. This really decreased our workload, as we did not have to find vendors on our own or attend numerous meetings. Ashley was even by our side during her pregnancy! When Ashley was no longer able to work, Amanda stepped in. The transition was so smooth that it seemed like Amanda had been there from the start! Amanda was especially amazing on the day of the wedding. She took care of everything. All I had to do was show up! She took care of the small crises (guests showing up that had not RSVPed, collecting my items as I absentmindedly misplaced them, running upstairs to get my flip flops after I injured my ankle, etc.) with ease! I could go on all day praising Ashley and Amanda! The only reason that Ashley did not get all 5s is due to her sometimes slow response time. It is important to remember that because Ashley is such a great wedding planner, she has a lot of clients. Response times can often be delayed because of this, especially during the peak wedding season.
All in all, Everything exceeded my expectations. I am grateful to Ashley and Amanda- they gave me the wedding of my dreams!!

Ashley helped us plan our wedding from its very beginning and I have to say that there is NO WAY it would have happened as smoothly as it did without her! For all brides out there who are wondering if investing in Ashley's services is a good thing, I would promise you that it truly is a must-have! An "Ashley Baber" planned wedding will be the guarantee of a wonderful event, smooth planning, fun interactions and never ending professionalism. We planned our wedding over an 18 months period and throughout the entire time Ashley was responsive, timely, so helpful. She helped us formulate and realize our vision and planned our wedding as if it was her own. She went above and beyond and always with a smile....

What would I have done without Ashley?! I can't tell you how many times that thought popped into my head during our big day. Throughout the entire planning process Ashley answered all of our questions and made us feel confident about our decisions. During the day of, we didn't have to do a thing!! All we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. All of our guests complimented us on how seemingly easy the entire event went. From the rehearsal to the final send off - everything was absolutely perfect! There were even a few snags (all totally non-preventable) that we didn't even learn about until the next day! She personally drove our dogs back to our house after the ceremony AND our friends to the emergency room after a nasty fall!! Ashley handled everything so professionally - even when one of our guests had a tad too much to drink and decided to take out a few frustrations on her (sorry about that again, Ashley!). I really could go on and on about how great Ashley made our wedding. I highly recommend her services!!

Ashley and her team did a wonderful job managing our wedding. It was great to work with her and her team. Her ideas and connections to vendors were wonderful which really helped pull our wedding together. Since I moved to Atlanta in 2011 (and we were planning a 2012 wedding), I really depended on Ashley and her team for selections on good vendors that could execute my wedding day dreams/needs. Ashley never let us down. She knew exactly which vendor would work best for us and easily scheduled the meetings so we could finalize vendor and wedding requirements (DJ, Dessert vendor, Wedding dress, Officiant), and sometimes accompanied us for those meetings. The only reason I didn't give Ashley Baber Weddings all 5's:
1) There were a few times that I wanted Ashley to respond quickly. Note to brides: Ashley Baber's staff works weekends, so please be patient for a response to emails/texts by mid-week (Tues/Weds). 2) I wish they had a better management tracker outside of word, excel docs and emails to manage wedding activities, tasks and status. Like a more interactive, internet-type database/system so we didn't have to use email, text and phone calls to manage our tasks and status on daily and weekly basis. The best part of working with Ashley Baber Weddings had to be that I had absolutely nothing to worry about on my wedding day. I was simply able to enjoy my guests, new husband and the entire experience. Thank you Ashley & team!

Thank you, Cheri!

Responses are based on level of urgency and the client's wedding date. Lastly, we are often out of the office beginning on Friday and returning to the office on Tuesday morning as we prepare for, execute and recover from our weekend weddings.

I think everyone needs an Ashley. Initially, I justified hiring a wedding planner because I was planning an Atlanta wedding from Brooklyn. However I don't think it matters if you are near or far. Ashley is invaluable.
Planning your wedding is overwhelming. There are so many choices, considerations, and questions. Ashley reduced some of the noise by recommending great vendors and talking us through the steps. She asked questions that really helped us visualize the wedding and how we wanted to craft it. She made a timeline for us that we could send out to all our vendors. Most valuable was Ashley at the rehearsal and day of the wedding. She was so calm and professional. She totally made it happen. We had a ton of handmade details that needed to be placed and staged during the wedding. While we were getting ready and taking pictures she was overseeing all of those details with the vendors to perfection. She helped us and our family actually enjoy our wedding without having to worry what step was next. I can't imagine doing our wedding without her and I'm a huge d.i.y. person. I can't recommend her enough. If you are near or far- plan your wedding with Ashley. She rocks!

Worth every penny is an understatement for Ashley. She is the most amazing wedding planner a girl could EVER ask for.
Our wedding was about a month ago in my parents backyard, 5/14/11 and I still miss her! She made everything go smoothly from the second we met her and made me feel as if nothing was an outragious request- and let me tell you- I had a lot :). Ashley is just one of those determined people who has everything under control but yet at the same time you feel you have known her for years. She really listens and somehow made our wedding of 300 people feel like the most intimate night of my life. It was the best night of my entire life and I have Ashley to thank for every second. Thank you Ashley, it was perfect.

Ashley did an amazing job coordinating our 6/26/10 wedding. We used Ashley as a day of coordinator, with a few extra meetings so that she could assist us along the way.
Ashley is so friendly and easy to get along with, and very detail oriented. I always enjoyed meeting with her. But even I didn't know how valuable she was until the day of the wedding. Everyone who met her was incredibly impressed, me most of all. She managed to be everywhere managing everything, but at the same time she was incredibly discreet. She was sweet, yet completely in control of the situation. I can't imagine how the wedding would have gone without her there. I was really let down with some of my florist's work, but Ashley was there to keep me from ripping all my hair out. She arranged to have the white centerpieces spraypainted a lovely pale pink (they were supposed to be pink hydrangeas). My florist also FORGOT the flowers for our wedding cake, but Ashley was there to locate some extra roses and place them beautifully on the cake. It was such a relief to have her there to fix other people's mistakes. Without her, I never would have been able to have any semblence of first dance, because my legs were literally stuck to my sweaty under-skirt after taking photos outside. It was a miracle that she was prepared for any eventuallity. She had baby powder in her emergency kit and after she powdered my legs I was actually able to move normally. I also really appreciated the little things that she did, like running to get my purse/makeup/hairpin, or making sure that my purse was at my place setting. I was so grateful that she thought to gather my things into the car before we left. It's one of those things that I never even thought of, and I'm so glad that she did -I wouldn't have even had my room key for the hotel! Ashley went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. She even fixed my friend's dress. I was so impressed and appreciative that Ashley took time to look out for everyone, not just the bridal party. Ashley kept things on time and organized, and kept me calm even when I was running late for pictures. Ashley did an amazing job and I can't reccomend her highly enough. She is a total sweetheart and I'm so glad that I got to work with her!

Ashley and her associate Amanda were completely invaluable to us. They helped and supported us every step along the way, and on the day of we had absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything was taken care of quickly and thoroughly. I am in Atlanta, GA, which is Ashley's other market. The value for the service is just amazing, especially given some of the other price quotes we received. Even better than the great value was how easy they were to work with and how well they understood what I wanted for my wedding.

Ashley was amazing! We had her for the day of planning, but she did so much more. She answered all my questions (and I had a lot) and even gave me lots of great ideas. My husband and I had an amazing wedding day and did not have to worry about a thing because of Ashley. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

We hired Ashley as a Day of Coordinator and I cannot even begin to articulate what a fabulous job she did.
Ashley coordinated the entire day perfectly and kept me calm when napkins didn't arrive or one of my vendors was running behind due to the hurricane-like weather. At the reception, she was a friendly voice letting me know it was time to cut the cake or if I had a few minutes to sneak away for more pictures. She handled every single detail and surprise throughout the day with the utmost professionalism. Everyone should have a wedding planner or a day of coordinator at a minimum- Ashley's responsiveness and professionalism are invaluable and essential for the perfect wedding day.

Six Value Stocks Outperforming the Market
Buying stocks with low valuation multiples and high momentum is one of those simple strategies that produce strong profits. The two factors individually have a negative correlation and the combination creates a strategy with fewer periods of underperformance.
To be included below, I required a market cap of over $1 million and an average volume of over 1 hundred thousand to filter out stocks that are hard to trade. To find value stocks, I screened for stocks with the price to sales ratio and the price to book ratio below one. Lastly, I required that the most recent 12 and 6 month price performance was double that of the market as the momentum filter. This resulted in a few stocks that qualify as both value and momentum stocks and are liquid enough to trade.

Olympic Steel may be Undervalued
The steel industry is hard to value because it trades at a lower valuation metric than the market as a whole. So, valuing a stock within the industry would seem to be even harder. We can, however, take a stab at it by looking at valuation metrics relative to those of other stocks within the same industry.
So to get a good idea of where Olympic Steel's (ZEUS) valuations are, below is a chart of it's P/S and those of ten other stocks in the steel industry. It's P/S, currently at 0.36, is at the low end of the range, though two other stocks have lower P/S ratios.
However, it is possible that Olympic Steel may deserve it's low valuation multiple. To see if this is the case, I look at the rating the VG stock rating system gives it.
The rating of 25.53 tells us that ZEUS's fundamentals are quite poor and that it may deserve an extremely low valuation multiple.
Valuations of Pawn Shop Stocks
Continuing with our look at stock valuations relative to their industry rather than the market, today we are looking at valuations of the largest 5 cash advance and/or pawn shop stocks. Looking at valuations from a viewpoint within an industry rather than versus the market can improve returns and lower risks because some industries deserve higher or lower valuations.
The stock with the lowest P/S ratio is Advance America, Cash Advance Centers (AEA). This company has struggled with finding growth, with revenue and earnings growth being negative over the last few years.
In contrast to AEA, First Cash Financial Services (FCFS), the stock with the highest P/S, has had earnings growth rates of over 20%.
Our stock rating system, which takes into account many other indicators, likes EZCORP (EXPW) the best, giving it a rating of 86. On a scale between 0 and 100, that's not super, but it's still pretty good.

A note from Jennifer
For me, 2013 was FULL of change, which was extremely uncomfortable—as growth tends to be. Among the transitions, I took the helm of an institution of the Second Wave—the Feminist Press—and am charting a course for its future. It's exciting and iterative and intimidating all at once!
So, what is on my brain right now about feminism? A few things:
- How big books by women are still treated so differently than big books by men (in terms of reviews, entry into the canon, course adoption, expressions of universality, sales!)
- The tension and pain between black feminists and white feminists. Do we need a truth and reconciliation commission? Michaela Angela Davis and I are starting to talk about what meaningful healing conversations might entail….
- How that word Slut is a way of making girls second class citizens long before they experience other forms of sexism—and how much potential Slut: The Play has to raise consciousness and shift culture!

EDMOND — Firefighters are encouraging people to install fire sprinkler systems in their Edmond homes as a safety precaution.
Firefighters want Edmond homeowners to get sprinklers
"It is like having a fireman with you 24 hours a day," said Mike Barnes, chief of fire prevention.
More than 80 percent of fire deaths occur in the home, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
"Fire sprinklers are designed to contain the fire until firefighters can get there," Barnes said. "Sprinklers give the residents time to get out."
Home fire sprinkler systems are becoming more popular in Edmond, Barnes said.
Rick Young, owner of Fire Safe System LLC in Arcadia, said he also has seen an increase in requests for fire sprinkler systems in Oklahoma City. Some homeowners choose sprinklers because there are no nearby fire hydrants or only one road into their neighborhoods, he said.
"It gives people 24-7 fire protection," Young said. "It allows the occupants time to get out of the house."
Developer Caleb McCaleb offers his clients the option of installing fire sprinkler systems and this week continued to install fire sprinklers in the 78 townhomes he is building at the Porches at Arbor Creek, north of Saints Boulevard and Second Street.
McCaleb said he isn't 100 percent sold on fire sprinkler systems. He questions what a homeowner is to do if electricity is lost and the water well goes down, leaving the home with no water for the sprinkler system.
"If you are in the city limits, there is a fire department and you have access to water; it is not that important. And I am a safety nut."

February 15, 2014 - I love this little guy!
January 25, 2014 - Tiny, cute, adorable! This little pig makes this pig figurine collector smile all the time! It's very small, unique and very sweet. I really like it.
December 29, 2013 - I bought a few of these for gifts, after all who doesn't need a little luck. Each one seems to have it's own bi of personality and have been enjoyed by the recipients. It is small and simple so it doesn't have any, "How am I going to find a place to put this?" feel. They are endearing and unintrusive.
December 13, 2013 - Not only is this pig as cute as a wagon full of kittens, my wife swears he actually works! She was thinking about the need for more $ for Christmas presents for the grandkids, and was holding him as she made the wish. That afternoon we got a very unexpected windfall! But, work or not, he is grea!
December 5, 2013 - This is the most adorable pig in the pig collection I started for my husband several years ago. He's a H.O.G. member and that's what prompted me to start him a pig collection. This little 3 legged pig is so adorable and the cute look on the face and the curly tail is perfect. I'm glad I bought this for my husband and not anybody else...at least now I get to enjoy this special pig too. Just too cute!

An amp simulator and bass effects pedal with every conceivable sound at the twist of a knob and stomp of a button.
Zoom's B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator combines the ease of a stompbox pedalboard with the power of a multi-effects processor and a USB audio interface. With complete control over individual effects and amp modeling, you can change your tones on the fly for both stage and studio.
Three stomps. One pedal.
The B3 offers three large LCD displays and corresponding footswitches that form a graphical interface, allowing you to utilize up to three stompbox and amp effects simultaneously. The interface has also been simplified with three control knobs for each display. This intuitive design makes creating, saving and rearranging the effect chain of your sounds a breeze and provides easy navigation in live and studio settings.
Evolution of tube amp simulation.
A newly developed sigmoid curve clipper re-creates the smooth clipping of a tube amp's waveform. From the warm, fat sound of R&B to the intense, aggressive tone of metal, the B3 can simulate amplifier sounds that are authentic to the original models while maintaining the nuances of fingering and picking techniques.
Super-real amp modeling.
The B3's 12 super-real amp models range from vintage to the latest trends in amp technology, each with its own distinct cabinet modeling that can be used to alter its tone characteristics. By combining different amplifiers and cabinets, you can digitally create your own custom rig. The B3's modeling technology provides the best tone for both live performance and direct recording.
[Modeled bass amplifiers]
The B3 offers 99 diverse types of stompbox effects, including some of the world's most popular bass pedals and rack-mounted processors. You can use up to three effects in any combination, as well as its high-quality stereo tube presets and bass synthesizers. It also includes patches personally designed by four of the world's top bassists: Victor Wooten (Béla Fleck & the Flecktones), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Frank Bello (Anthrax) and Doug Wimbish (Living Colour). In addition, the B3 can store up to 100 of your original creations without a hitch.
The newest generation of DSP: ZFX-IV.
The all-new ZFX-IV DSP effects processor boasts amazing power and clarity, upgrading everything from sound to functionality and operability over previous ZFX versions. By using 32-bit floating-point processing, the B3 can produce amplifier sounds that are more realistic than ever before.
Looper function with 40-second phrase recording/overdubbing.
The B3's Looper capabilities include 40 seconds of phrase recording and overdubbing. The "sound-on-sound" function allows you to layer bass sounds as many times as you want in real time and use looped sounds as simple backing tracks. You can even create a "full band" feel with the built-in drum machine and DSP effects for a live solo.
Note: When the UNDO/REDO function is enabled, the recording time is limited to 20 seconds.
USB audio interface for DAW recording.
The B3 operates as an audio interface, letting you record directly to your computer via USB. All of your sound settings used during rehearsals or live performances can be recorded to your favorite DAW such as the included Steinberg Sequel LE recording software. The pedal's direct monitoring capability eliminates latency issues, assuring realistic studio conditions and hassle-free operation.
Your personal drummer.
Every bassist needs a drummer, and with the B3 you can choose from 40 different rhythm patterns, including 4, 8 and 16-beat, shuffle and many others. The tap key also makes it easy to set the tempo and start a one-man jam session anytime.
Balanced XLR output for DI use.
With its built-in XLR output, you can avoid DI boxes completely and connect the B3 directly to any mixing console to maintain a balanced, high quality signal. Its convenient Pre/Post switch can direct an effected sound to the main outputs while sending the original analog bass guitar signal directly to the XLR output without passing through an A/D converter.
Add a B3 to your pedalboard.
The B3 is perfect for use in combination with traditional stompboxes. By adding a B3 to your pedalboard, you can decrease the size and complexity of your setup, while expanding your system's effects and modeling capabilities.
Accurate, real-time Tuner function.
The pedal's Tuner function offers smooth, real-time response with precise bass tuning accuracy. Whether you're in the middle of a performance or practicing alone in your room, simply hold down the pedal's center footswitch to start getting your strings back in tune. In addition, the B3's LCD displays and LED indicators make the Tuner easy to see on a dark stage, where you can also mute the output to tune silently.
World's fastest patch change speed: 1ms.
With the B3's amazing 1ms patch change speed, you'll never miss a beat. Change from rhythm playing to a solo in an instant by simply tapping a switch.
Runs on batteries, AC adapter, or USB power.
The B3 can operate on three different power sources: AC adaptor (included), batteries or USB bus power when plugged into your computer. Four AA/LR6 alkaline batteries provide over six hours of continuous use. Whether on stage or in the studio, the B3 gives you reliable power options.

Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
I LOVE the Zoom B3! I recently purchased an Ampeg SVT 410 hlf cabinet and a used Ampeg SVT 450H to power it. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not get the tone I wanted out of my rig. I could not afford to purchase an all-tube Ampeg head or the multitude of effects pedals needed to shape my sound to my liking. I ran across this pedal on MF and discovered that ALL of the pedals that I would like to have were combined in this one single pedal. I mentioned it to my wife and she bought it for our anniversary. BEST GIFT EVER! I'm not big on effects and usually set my EQ pretty much flat so I used the pedal sparingly. With just a couple of effects (Sans-amp, Compressor, and Exciter) I was able to dial in the exact bass tone that I had been searching for all those years. Now my rig sounds like a glassy tube beast that really cuts through the mix. My solid state head is still a solid state head, but with just the right mix of effects from the B3, it now sounds pretty close to the old Tube SVT monsters of yesteryear. I play in both large and small venues and I now receive regular compliments on my tone. Don't get me wrong, when I'm at home, I love playing around with all of the other cool effects and weird sounds that you can get out of this thing, but I mainly just use it to get my "One Sound". I've been playing for years and can tell you that from my experience, this is the best thing to come along for bass players in many years. It's like having a full professional level pedal board in just one small ruggedly built unit. I LOVE it!
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
I bought it for learning the Bass, I wanted the drum effects and metronome and looper. The built in tuner is so easy to use I tune every session versus tuning every few days. The different amp simulators are fun to use and I find myself using a few most often. I will definitely look at these amps when I go bigger. The effects are fun to play with but I don't see myself using them.
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
If for no other reason, you should consider buying this for use as a pre-amp because the amp/cabinet simulations are just that good. 80% of the effects are spot on and the other 20% are close enough for live work. Holds 100 customizable patches using any combination of 3 simultaneous effects/simulations. You can set up a patch for each song in your setlist if you like. Also great if you use few effects, but like to experiment. The drum machine, looper with overdub capability, and recording software are pretty nice if you want to lay down a quick demo of an idea before you forget it. Hands down, the best bang for the buck I've gotten in any gear purchase over the years.
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
I have used this in front of my vintage tube and modern solid state amps, passive American Fenders and Active Alembic. If you like effects, the features and effects this unit brings to bear should cover all of your needs. Solid construction is the first impression right out of the box. The ability to power from AC, batteries, OR USB is a nice touch. Being able to fine tune effects without being overly complicated to the average user is a huge plus. The looper function works great as well. The three displays serve two purposes by not only showing current settings but also providing instructions depending on the feature being used. The drum beats are good, not too many but enough to cover basic practice and impromptu jams.
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
Just got this and barely scratched the surface. A lot of the effects are similar to just get that out of the way. I believe what I bought it for was to have my opportunity to explore several distortion, delay, filters, and on, and on. The amp models really change things up. That's the big seller for the box. I love that I can choose USB, ac power, or dc along with a pair of headphones to rock out in any environment, no amp needed. The recording software and patches have a pretty good sound quality for under a couple "hundo". No regrets here.

Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
I have been playing bass for 25 years, play several styles and am in several groups, a corporate variety band, 90's rock etc..I have owned tons of gear. This is the first review I have ever done. This piece of gear is worth every penny. I hated bringing out my whole board when I just needed a chorus and tuner. This fixes that issue.
I use it mainly for the effect pedals as I love my rig. The pedal models are very convincing and very easy to use. You can organize 3 pedals in one preset and use them separately or all together. I set each bank of 3 pedals by my set lists. It has a great octave pedal that tracks well and the best bass synths I've found. I've tried the Mark Bass, Boss, and Digitech synths - this blows them out of the water. Great Stevie Wonder, Chaka Kahn, Michael Jackson -esque synths that track very well. To me a great synth alone is worth the money. Spend the money - you won't regret it.

Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
Someone put lots of thought into this product..At last a pedal that is user friendly with a few tweaks here and there..I liked the B3 so much I bought the MS-60b which has fewer features but enough to keep me happy on the stage or in the studio.Congrats on making a product that delivers the goods at a reasonable price..
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
I play Chicago blues and rock, and this pedal has replaced a whole case full of separate effects units. Unlike my old Boss MB-20B, the Zoom is actually FUN to set up and tweak. I spent hours creating my own patches for different songs and styles. It's especially easy if you plug the Zoom into a computer via USB and use their free program to create and name your patches. And if, like me, you have trouble seeing in the dark, this unit has large, bright displays.
Only three minor problems I've encountered:
1. They really should have included a USB cable.
2. Some of the pre-programed patches are downright strange.
3. A free digital recording program, Sequal LE, comes with the unit. It's VERY difficult to use, and a memory hog. Even after I deleted it, my iMac still runs slower. Needless to say, I suggest using the CD-ROM it comes on as a coaster.
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
This is by far the best multi-effects unit I've worked with. It's compact, light, and VERY easy to learn and use. The pre-set effects combinations (called "patches") are largely useless for a serious player, but it's easy to replace them with your own, especially when you use the included "Edit and Share" software. There's a good variety of individual effects, and they're easy to tweak. Can't wait to sell my Boss ME-20B. The Zoom kicks its butt!!
The unit comes with Sequel LE, a recording program which must have been designed by a sadist. Forget it.
It would have been nice if the B3 came with a USB cable. I had to buy my own.
Best Uses
Comments about Zoom B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator:
For me, the preset sounds were largely useless, and most were over-the-top tweaks that turned my bass into a sound effects generator. After I deleted them all, I was able to program banks of closely related patches that I can use in one song: setting a standard tone in one, then adding a BBE exciter for solos to the next, a chorus effect for the next, and so on. I play four different basses through this pedal and there are enough patches available to create 20+ patches for each. One of my favorites allows me to get an excellent acoustic sound from my electric upright bass. The amp simulators are excellent, though I wish it included a Mesa Boogie. The software for loading the patches to the web does not work on PC or Mac.
My two wishes are to include a method for selecting patches via Midi and adding a fourth channel: after assigning compression, EQ, and an amp simulator, adding any other tone shaper requires losing one of these critical components and this can change the fundamental sound substantially. I may end up running two of these in series to get all the channels I want.

This in-progress project aims to implement and disseminate successful Indigenous suicide prevention activities developed by one Indigenous community to another Indigenous community. It will extract critical elements of this community-driven process, expand these activities, and enable horizontal knowledge transfer of risk-reducing and resilience-enhancing strategies and activities through partner organisations. The process will utilise understandings of how knowledge is communicated across Indigenous families, communities and institutions (meetings, workshops, training, networking), as well as innovative information technology and multi-media approaches. Importantly it will not be simply about taking strategies that have worked in one community and applying them in another. Critical to the success of the project is the principle that all communities are different and that what works for one won't necessarily work for another. Rather the idea is to take the learnings of one community and make them available to another community which will develop its own approaches taking what works for it from the experiences of the other.

Wednesday, 6th October, 2010 It all started with Ranma Who doesn't love Ranma? Or any thing by Rumiko Takahashi? Have you read her latest series Rin-Ne? The black cat boy is my favorite character. Did you hear the news about Zack Snyder, director of manly movie 300, getting the directing job on the next Superman movie with Christopher Nolan? We love movie gossip! There was an interesting list of directors up for the job which included Tony Scott (Man on Fire, Top Gun), Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Requiem of a Dream), Duncan Jones (Moon), Matt Reeves (Let Me In, Cloverfield), Ben Affleck (The Town) and Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles). If Darren Aronofsky got the job, that would've been one depressing Superman. |

17 days after we speculated Turris may have trouble attracting offers from European clubs...comes this news:
The good boys at hockeysverige.se report that #Sens Kyle Turris has signed with Kärpät Oulu of the Finnish league.
— Szymon Szemberg (@Sz1909_Szemberg) October 6, 2012
I know literally nothing about Kärpät Oulu but the Finnish league is a solid level of competition, and there are certainly lesser situations he could have settled for (sorry EHC Wolfsburg Grizzly Adams). A quick scan of the roster shows they have two locked out NHLers in Jussi Jokinen and Jason Demers on the team at present.
After being used sparingly in Phoenix, followed by a contract dispute which cost him games last year; the most important thing for Turris and his development is that he play minutes - the more the better. This would seem to be a good fit, hopefully he can get some time on the powerplay as well, something he hasn't done much of at the NHL level. No word on wheth...

Heat's Wade suspended a game for action against Bobcat's Sessions
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade has been suspended one game without pay by the NBA for flailing his leg and making contact with the groin of Charlotte Bobcats' Ramon Sessions.
The suspension was announced Thursday by Stu Jackson, the NBA's executive vice president for basketball operations.
The incident happened with 8:12 left in the fourth quarter of the Heat's 105-92 victory over the Bobcats on Wednesday night. Sessions was called for a foul on the play.
Wade will serve the suspension Friday night when the Heat visit the Detroit Pistons.

Written by YAMIKANI SIMUTOWE
BLANTYRE—Leader of former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Peter Mutharika has handed in himself to police in Blantyre where he is expected to be questioned about his party's resistance to hand over power to then Vice Pres. Joyce Banda after the death of Pres. Bingu wa Mutharika in April last year.
Mutharika arrived at the Southern Region Police Monday morning at around 10: 15 am and was accompanied by senior DPP officials and supporters who were chanting anti-government songs.
The angry supporters demanded that their president be driven to Lilongwe in his vehicle not a police van, dubbed as 'Black Maria' and at some point they blocked the road leading to the police premises.
Other senior DPP officials who have been arrested include former local government minister Henry Mussa, party spokesperson Nicolas Dausi, former DPP vice president and current economic and planning minister Goodall Gondwe, former deputy foreign affairs minister Kondwani Nankhumwa and former information minister Patricia Kaliati.
"I came here because I was asked to come and I'm right at Southern Region Headquarters for questioning. I understand I will be taken to Lilongwe where I will join the others; we are just waiting for transport.
"I have not yet been charged, and I don't have an idea of the charge to be leveled against me," said Mutharika.
The police have also picked former presidential guard commander Duncan Mwapasa for questioning.
According to the findings of the Commission of Inquiry into the death of Bingu wa Mutharika, DPP senior officials tried to circumvent the constitution by blocking Banda from assuming the Office of the President because she had formed her party, People's Party (PP) after being expelled from DPP.
DPP officials in one of the cabinet meetings resolved to hand over power to Goodall Gondwe, contrary to Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Ephraim Mganda Chiume's advice that the Malawi Constitution was very clear that the vice president should assume power.
The report says Kaliati, Nankhumwa, Mussa, Dausi, Jean Kalirani, Simon Vuwa Kaunda provided the nation with wrong information about the death of the former president.
Their press statement, which was read to the general public on April 6 at midnight, gave the impression that Joyce Banda wasn't eligible to succeed Mutharika. Their resistance to hand over power to Banda could've breached the constitution. The suspects could face treason charges, according to some legal experts.
Pres. Mutharika died suddenly on April 5. He won reelection in a landslide in 2009. Banda was sworn in as president to finish the remainder of his term in 2004.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – No. 19 Columbus State committed three errors and left 12 runners on base as they dropped game two of a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader by a score of 4-3 to Georgia College Tuesday night at Cougar Field.CSU now stands at 29-13 on the year and 10-4 in PBC play while the Bobcats improve to 30-12 overall and 12-4 in league action.All of the offense came early as all seven runs came in the first 2 ½ innings of play.Georgia College got on the board first as Abi Leroy hit a two-run homer in the first inning to quickly put GC in front 2-0. Whitney Okvist scored on the long ball as she started the contest with a walk.The Lady Cougars came right back themselves scoring the next three runs to take a 3-2 lead posting a run in the first and two more in the second.Kori Waugh hit a leadoff double to left-centerfield in the home half of the first. Branigan Wix then beat out a bunt single moving Waugh up to third but the throw hit off the second baseman's glove allowing Waugh to continue around the bases for CSU's first run.An inning later, Bree Nowlin banged a double off the left-centerfield wall to get another rally going. After Morgan Knight lined out to third, Kodi Ricketson connected on her fifth homerun of the season pushing Columbus State in front 3-2. Waugh and Wix each reached safely with a walk and single respectively, but a strikeout and pop out ended the inning before CSU could tack on another other runs.GC came right back in the top of the third and responded with two runs, both unearned, to take the lead for good. Okvist singled to left-center and stole second base. After a strikeout, Leroy reached on a fielding error before Kelsea Martin singled to centerfield loading the bases. Next up was Kristen Humphries who reached on a fielder's choice as she hit a grounder to shortstop. The throw went home to force out the game-tying run at the plate but it was errant knotting the game at three-all. The flip back to the pitcher got away from Taylor Turner allowing Leory to also come across for the game-winning run.Columbus State had their opportunities throughout the remainder of the game as they left eight runners on base the next four inning including stranding the bases loaded in the fifth and a pair of runners in each of the third and fourth innings.Turner suffered the loss falling to 9-4 on the year as she allowed all four runs (two earned) on four this and a walk.

Okvist had the lone multi-hit game for the Bobcats as she went 3-for-2 with two runs scored and also drew a walk.CSU will look to get back on the winning track this weekend when it travels to Lander on Friday for a PBC doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET at Doug Spears Field.

Communications bill at a glance
LONDON - There were few surprises for the media and advertising industries in the final draft of the government's communications bill, published this week, which the government said it hoped would create a market that thrives on competition.
The bill establishes the main duties of new regulator Ofcom -- the new regulator that replaces the Independent Television Commission, Radio Authority, Oftel, Broadcasting Standards Commission and the Radiocommunications Agency.
Advertising regulation
However, despite Ofcom's wide overall responsibility for regulating advertising, it has failed so far to give a clear idea of what its policy on the regulation of broadcast advertising is to be. It was also given a get-out clause in the bill, which states that the powers to regulate the advertising industry will be contracted out to another body.
This puts the ball back in the court of the advertising industry to put forward a proposal for the type of body that it wants to see regulate TV advertising. This is in line with the bill's self-regulation ethos, which is underpinned with tough measures to make sure the consumer is protected.
Patricia Hewitt, secretary of state for trade and industry, said: "In drafting the bill, and throughout the process of pre-legislative consultation, the interests of the consumer have been paramount."
Political advertising
As part of the bill, the government said it was keeping its present ban on political advertising on television and radio. This has been renewed and clarified. The government said it believed, as did the Neill Committee, that this is an important plank in protecting the impartiality of broadcasting and democratic debate.
"Because of a judgment in the European Court of Human Rights concerning Switzerland, the government can not make a statement of compatibility under the Human Rights Act in relation to this ban, but believes that there remains a strong case that the UK ban is compatible and therefore wishes Parliament to consider the bill," Hewitt said.
The BBC
The regulation of the BBC is to be split between Ofcom and its governors. Ofcom will have the power to fine the BBC on matters of taste and decency in the same way that it can fine its commercial rivals, while its governors will continue to have powers over the BBC's political and editorial content. The BBC has responded angrily to the inclusion of this clause while the Conservative Party opposition has called for Ofcom to be given full power over the BBC.
John Whittingdale, shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport, said: "It is indefensible that the biggest and most powerful of broadcasters should be allowed to continue to act as judge and jury on complaints about its behaviour and we will be tabling amendments to make the BBC subject to the same regulatory requirements as other broadcasters."
Foreign ownership
This was one of the biggest debates in the run-up to the bill being published and, much to the consternation of the industry, the government has gone ahead with its initial proposals.
Foreign and cross-media ownership laws are being swept away, to allow US companies to buy Five, ITV and all analogue radio stations. This brings the broadcasting industry in line with other industries such as publishing, which has seen companies such as AOL Time Warner buy IPC Media, while News Corporation owns The Sun and The Times.
To prevent channels being filled with low-budget US programming, which was one of the concerns of the Puttnam report, ITV, Channel 4 and Five will have to fulfil public service obligations such as regional production quotas, over and above European regulations, which state that 50% of original content must be produced in the EU.
"[The bill] will liberalise the market, removing unnecessary reguatory burdens and cutting red tape, but at the same time will retain key safeguards that will protect the diversity and plurality of our media," Hewitt said.
Radio ownership laws have been relaxed following lobbying by the industry. This will allow the operation of two local stations alongside the BBC station in each local market.
It will allow for greater consolidation in the industry. However, consolidation is limited to 55% ownership of one market, which is still a rise on the previous 45%.
This move has already given rise to speculation that US radio giant Clear Channel will enter the UK and acquire some of the UK's largest radio groups, including Capital and Emap, possible.
In conclusion, Hewitt said: "Britain is already one of the world's leaders in the communications industry. This bill will give companies an even better environment to develop their businesses in a sector of the economy that already accounts for 300,000 jobs and £12bn of investment a year."

How to create an external boot disk in OS X
One of the convenient features in early versions of Windows (yes, Windows) was the ability to easily create an MS-DOS boot disk out of any floppy disk, which could then be used to troubleshoot certain problems with the system. Given how difficult it was to load and reload operating systems, this type of feature came in rather handy, but while current operating systems can be loaded and configured much easier, having an alterate boot source is just as important (if not more so) to have around.
In OS X creating an alternate boot device can easily be done, with no … Read more
