The culinary arts classes at Lancaster High School are taught in such a way that students can take it to the next level if they want to.
By now, some of you are still running around trying to find the perfect Mother's Day gift. Finding something that's fresh, foolproof and made with love may be closer than you think.
It's not in the shopping mall; it's cupcakes made fresh from the kitchen cabinet.
We're talking flour, sugar, baking soda and butter, blended with the love that every mother appreciates.
When Stephen Wright decided to enter the Tabernacle United Methodist Church Chili Cook-off on April 12 to benefit the 2008 Relay for Life, he had a plan.It wasn't much of a plan, but it was a plan."I told 'em, I'd probably be better off to go by Wendys, buy a bunch of chili, put it in a pot and try to fake out everybody," he said, laughing.
The Lancaster faith community is encouraged to attend the Fifth Annual Lancaster Community Prayer Luncheon on May 1 at Covenant Baptist Church, 165 Craig Manor Road.
This year's keynote speaker is Kelly McCorkle Parkison, who served as Miss South Carolina 2002 and participated in the television reality show, "Amazing Race."
In addition to McCorkle Parkison, the service will include prayers offered to God for our families, churches, our government leaders, military and civil servants and our nation said Dr. Bert Welch, Covenant senior pastor.
There's a shiny, new cast-iron skillet above the refrigerator in our kitchen. But that's about to change; I'm ready to knock that sheen off by seasoning it and putting it to good use.
To me, the pride of every southern kitchen is still a cast-iron skillet.
In a day when stainless, copper-coated cookware is the rage, that old dark skillet has lost its appeal to many.
I'm not really sure, considering that it can be used for a wide array of roasting, frying, sauteing and baking.
When Scots-Irish settlers migrated to the Carolinas in the 18th century, they brought familiar names like Lancaster, Chester and York with them.
They also brought what they had learned from cooking in the open hearths of their homes in Ireland and the Pennsylvania settlements.
Those attending the annual Andrew Jackson Birthday Celebration on Saturday at Andrew Jackson State Park will get a brief glimpse of colonial cooking from demonstrations by the Cooking Guild of the Catawba Valley.
No one knows when or where the idea for Scripture Cake came from, but its ingredients are rooted in Bible verses.
The late Charlemae Hill Rollins believed it was so significant in her own life that she included the recipe for it in her book, "Christmas Gif': An Anthology of Christmas Poems, Songs and Stories, Written by and about Negroes."
Disappointed that there were so few written resources about the Christmas traditions she learned as a child in Yazoo City, Miss., Rollins wrote the anthology in 1963 to pass along what she had learned from her grandmother, a slave.
The two month wait is over. A shipment of more than 35,000 boxes of Caramel deLites, Cinna-Spins, Lemonades, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shortbread, Thanks-A-Lot and Thin Mints arrived here late Saturday.
Eager local Girl Scouts from 25 troops and their leaders met a tractor trailer stacked high with some of America's favorite cookies at St. Luke United Methodist Church to unload them.
Nobody around town is happier about that than J.R. Snipes. For Snipes, it's cookie time.
It's less than 24 hours to V-Day and the pressure is on.
If you're tired of standing in a last-minute line to fight for picked-over flower bouquets, cards, syrupy stuffed animals and boxes of candy, take heart.
Nothing goes further than a homecooked meal for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day.
Men, the findings of a recent Cosmopolitan magazine survey should pique your curiosity.
That survey showed that 70 percent of women prefer a dinner cooked by a man than one from a five-star restaurant.
While oatmeal is one of the healthiest breakfast foods around, it's looked on with disdain by many.
A co-worker recently told me "the best thing you can do with oatmeal is to give it to someone else," commenting on her dislike of it.
"I can't stand the texture of it," she said. "It's just yucky."
Her hatred of oatmeal doesn't diminish its body-boosting properties. A half-cup of rolled oats has more than a high fiber content, says weight loss expert Elaine Magee.

Consciousness In The Cell
The Perfection of DNA Contradicts the Theory of Evolution
In one molecule of human DNA, there exists enough information to fill a million-page encyclopaedia. But the order in this information is also vitally important. Ask yourself whether hundreds of letters tossed about at random could possibly come together to form a coherent news article. Could millions of these same letters arrange themselves together perfectly and appropriately as to form an entire newspaper? Can anyone claim this is all a product of blind coincidence? According to Darwinist understanding, it's possible for all these amazing events to come about coincidentally.
Darwinism thinks that it has deceived all the world's populace like little children. This ideology presents coincidence as having divine consciousness, and asserts that it somehow possesses an amazing genius and greater knowledge than all the people in the world. According to evolutionists, time is the only thing necessary for this "genius" called coincidence to shape the brains of all those humans who have lived over thousands of years. And not their brains only, but their minds, their capacity for thought, their reasoning, memory, and hundreds of other physical and spiritual attributes. If provided with matter and enough time, coincidence has the power to create people, ants, horses, giraffes, peacocks, butterflies, figs, olives, oranges, peaches, pomegranates, watermelons, tomatos, bananas, tulips, violets, strawberries, orchids, roses and hundreds of thousands of other living things you cannot even think of. Obviously this entire claim is nothing but nonsense. The Creator of all things is God.

RECENT CONFERENCE on independent system operators held by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission was, in many respects, a tremendous achievement. It is a testimony to this Commission that its...
Red, White, and Ready: The Patriotic Push for Energy Legislation
taxed once, and some dividends are not taxed at all," Shapiro says. "The proper way to do this would have been to make it deductible at the corporate level, not at the individual level, so it doesn't even make real sense as tax policy. It will raise the cost of borrowing for cities and states that now enjoy a tax preference and will now have to be placed in a more competitive position that will raise the rates for them to borrow. So the cities and state governments are against it, and fiscal conservatives are against it."
Meanwhile, the energy industry has been waiting since 1992 for passage of comprehensive legislation to provide direction to an increasingly beleaguered sector. Public Utilities Fortnightly talks with a senator and congressmen on both sides of the aisle, as well as the Bush administration and president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, to find out if energy legislation will be worth the wait.
"I have several concerns about the president's dividend proposal. First, we should be finding ways to stimulate our economy, and it is questionable whether this proposal would do that."
The 107th Congress failed to send a comprehensive energy bill to President Bush. Do you expect a comprehensive bill with an electricity title to make it to his desk this congressional session?
Last year I had a good feeling that Congress was going to pass a comprehensive energy bill and send it to the president. But then elections came, and the results of those elections led to the conference ending without getting to a bill. As a general rule, most big bills in the Senate do not have a quick second act, and electricity is certainly not going to be any easier this time. But the House and Senate leadership are taking another shot at an energy bill. The goal, I believe, is to conference the bill this summer and get it to President Bush's desk before the August recess.
Is repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act a priority in this Congress?
Repealing the Public Utility Holding Company Act remains a priority for many of us in Congress-but only if the legislation includes adequate consumer protections, and only if it strengthens market power protections. Our bill last year would have done that by giving FERC tools to make sure that competitive markets work well to provide customers with affordable electricity, and by strengthening authority over mergers, clarifying authority over market-based rates, and increasing transparency in energy market information. The 2002 Senate bill also required the Federal Trade Commission to protect consumers against unfair trade practices in energy marketing, and created ways to better inform consumers.
As large dividend producers, utilities generally back repeal of the dividend tax. What are the chances of repeal?
I have several concerns about the president's dividend proposal. First, we should be finding ways to stimulate our economy, and it is questionable whether this proposal would do that. Second, this proposal is complicated and would be hard to administer. It would be up to the shareholders

The reasons why these Square Hermetic Canning Jars by Kilner® have been popular since the 1840s are clear: they're durable, practical and made extremely well. Generations of home chefs and bakers have used these clip-top jars for canning fruits and preserving pickles, jams and chutneys. They're also a wise choice for storing dry foods such as rice, sugar and flour.

External Scholarship Programs
Listed below are the addresses for a few websites through which you can research scholarship opportunities. None of these sites charge for their services and ALL scholarship information is available for free from one place or another. Never pay for a scholarship search.
Some web listings are maintained by lending institutions, so you may receive promotional mailings advertising educational loan opportunities. Keep in mind, however, that in order to apply for a student loan, or to apply for any type of financial aid, you must complete a Federal Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). These forms are available online, at high schools, public libraries, and the CSB/SJU Financial Aid Offices. Just sending a form to a lending institution is not sufficient to qualify you for financial aid.
Be aware that perseverance, initiative, resourcefulness, determination, and above all, timeliness are key to winning scholarships. There are awards for ALL academic abilities, genders, majors, ethnicities, income levels, to name but a few categories, so don't opt yourself out of any chance. Apply for anything, and everything, for which you appear to meet the qualifications. Keep in mind that applying for scholarships is not necessarily an easy process nor is it a quick process, but then worthwhile things are rarely easy. It will take a lot of time and a lot of effort, but the results can be amazing and, if you win any awards, will make the process worthwhile. There are BIG scholarships and little scholarships, easy applications and difficult applications. Do not neglect any of them. And remember, there are scholarships available for each year of school, including graduate and professional programs. This is an every year effort...each fall you will want to begin your search for the next academic year.
Remember, as well, that no one source has it all. Try ALL of these sites, then get to the library for more information.
A note about these sites: The sites here are offered in no particular order and without recommendation or endorsement. They are are few of many sites which are available to students. You may find some of these to be very helpful or you may find they are of little use. As you progress in your search, many of these formats will begin to look the same. While they certainly are similar, they are not the same. Take your time and look carefully through each list. THEY DO NOT ALL OFFER THE SAME CHOICES. In fact, it is an excellent idea to look through the list in each category before you start making selections. Many of the databases limit the number of choices you can make. For many of them you will be asked to provide a user name and a password. Make a note of them so you can refer back to the site for updates and/or new searches.
A Hint On Requesting Scholarship Applications
Unless a donor specifically requires a stamped self-address envelope (SASE), the most efficient, and the cheapest, way to contact scholarship donors is by using post-cards. Indicate the name of the scholarship you are requesting and the academic year for which you are intending to apply. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS on your request and be sure it is LEGIBLE.Pre-printed address labels work well for this.

Vertigo: 2005/06
Twickenham Rugby Stadium
Whilst we slept, the Summer has arrived in force. I love Summer in London, despite it being a sticky, uncomfortable shambles. Similarly with the first snowfall of the year, any mildly accentuated weather conditions here are greeted with amazement, as if such a thing had never happened before. At once, the entire infrastructure of the capital collapses. Traffic and public transport grind to a halt, shops sell out of ice cream by lunchtime, air-conditioning units break, refrigeration devices throw a sulk and malfunction whilst the parks are littered with office workers sprawled in their underwear. Amid the chaos however, an air of triumphant celebration hovers over the city. At last! Its here! The seemingly endless grey has relented and we shall turn pink in unison. Work? As if! Pub pavements are impassable, lidos overflow, trains to Brighton are packed to capacity. This is our time and theres no telling how soon it will be snatched away from us so nothing shall distract us from our leisure.
I nipped out this morning to pick up some baby clothes for Craig, one of my lampies who is leaving us to give birth (medical breakthrough). I have worked with him for years on U2, Stones, Bryan Adams, et al., so will miss him being around. I found some very nice baby combat gear which seems appropriate; camouflage romper suit, etc. And plenty of socks.
The journey to the venue was advertised as being a 40 minute run, but the traffic was horrifying. It took us two hours to get to as far as Hammersmith roundabout in a 16-seater. We were dying in there, our little mobile oven, but no matter. Ive waited all year to be reduced to a sweaty blob so Im not about to start complaining now.
U2 sound checked and tried out a couple of new things, including a run at Wild Horses. The doors were opened and the audience came in, preparing themselves to be thoroughly cooked for a couple of hours before much else would happen.
Doves were first on, I havent seen them in a while and they seemed in good form. Athlete followed, but by then I was mostly preoccupied with guest-wrangling. Theres only been one show at this venue before, so its still a new experience for people to get here, especially on a day like today when Britain has ground to a halt.
There is a very strict curfew at the Twickenham ground and we were warned that the consequences of running beyond 10.30 were dire (i.e. no show tomorrow). On the other hand we knew that the daylight would be an issue here so didnt want to start the show any earlier than was absolutely necessary, so we planned a dressing room strategy to play as many songs as possible whilst ending as close to 10.30 as we could. This was substantially the same set as Manchester night two, as particularly Still Havent Found worked so well. The band wanted to put Mysterious Ways back in, so we did the mathematics and worked out we needed to roll the intro tape at 8.18pm.
It was a great show and the audience were mad for it, despite having been microwaved within an inch of their lives. Many bands find London audiences intimidating, but U2 have always loved playing here and the audiences have responded in kind.
Obviously show times will vary depending on how the band plays, tempos, chats and so on, but Bruce and I smiled to notice that the final crash of Vertigo went down at 10.29pm. Nice one lads.Getting back to the hotel was another lengthy drama, but we made it unscathed and bottles of wine were opened in my room till all hours. I think I fell asleep before everyone had left.

Post subject: Battery questions
Woe and Lament. Despite the best efforts of our group leader, I just can't get my head around the battery rules.
A) you use them to reinforce the shields, but the power to do so can come from other sources against multiple volleys?
B) You can use them to preload your weapons before the game even if doing so requires more power than your batteries can generate?
C) A ship with no warp power, 4 impulse points and 4 batteries could move at a baseline speed of 8?
D) According to 1D4, unused power carries over to the next turn up to the number of un-disabled batteries --even if the batteries were not discharged?
How wrong am I? Or worse, how right am I?
Dang it, I want that PPD installed NOW!

A) Yes, any source up to the number of undisabled batteries for each volley, as long as you have unspent energy tokens.
B) Yes.
C) Depending on the movement cost, yes. A ship with a move cost of one could move 8 for one turn only, and then would have to move only 4, or spend a turn recharging the batteries.
D) Power carries over only if the batteries have been emptied during the turn, and only up to the number of empty, undisabled batteries you have. i.e. you can never carry over more power than the number of working batteries you have.

You're almost right.
A) Since energy allocation is pay as you go, if you have unspent power you can use it to reinforce shields against incoming damge, but only up to the number of undamaged battery boxes per volley and only if you have shield boxes remaining in that arc.
Assume the vernerable Fed CA (36 power, 4 batteries and 30 boxes on the #1 shield).
You spend 24 energy for base speed 24 and you've preloaded your photons, leaving you with 12 power.
A D7 fires disruptors at you at range 14 and throws in 3 phaser 1s for good measure. Perfect rolls menas that 21 points hit you. You spend 4 power [leaving 8] to reinforce against the volley so you now have 1 points of damage to deal with.
1 burns through the shields and 16 boxes are disabled, leaving 14 boxes.
Next impulse, his 2 drones strike the #1 shield (you should have turned!) for a combined total of 24 more points. You again reinforce for 4 (leaving 4) and reduce the volley to 20 points. 16 take out the shield and you score 4 internals...and the DAC roll is a four. [the third result is a battery, leaving 3].
Now, along comes a D6 and his drone impacts on teh next impulse.
If it hits the #1 shield, you're SOL. You have no shield boxes, so you can't reinforce. If you could turn to take it on teh #2 shield (which still has 24 boxes) you could reinforce, but only for 3 points as you only have 3 batteries remaining.
B) Yes. Again, assume the vernerable CA. By sacrificing your 4 points of battery power on Turn 1, you can start with 8 points of pre-load power in four Photons.
But this isn't always a good thing... see Commodore Patrick Doyle extensive tactics notes on the subject.
C) Only if you have movement cost one ship, and only if the batteries were charged at the beginning of the turn. In Federaiton Commander, power is power. Generating source does not matter.
D) Remember, power is power. You start the turn with fully charged batteries in your CA (That's 40 points of power - 36 generated and 4 battery). Throughout the turn, you use 32 points, leaving you 8 points during end of turn. It doesn't matter where it came from... you can put 4 of it into the batteries for the next turn.
If you spend 38 points during Turn 2, then you can transfer 2 points into the batteries for turn 3 and begin that turn with 38 total power (36 generated plus 2 batteries charged atthe end of turn 2)
Hope this helps.

Your primary problem is that you are thinking of batteries in terms of how SFB uses them. In Federation Commander, they work totally different.
At the start of the turn, you figure out how much power you have available that turn. You count all of your non-battery power boxes together, and add in the batteries if they have carried power over from last turn. If this is the first turn, batteries are assumed to have carried power over from "Turn 0". (Subject to the (4C2c) first turn overloads.) Once the power available is determined, it is just "power", regardless of where it came from or how it was stored/generated.
During the turn, your available power is just "power". It doesn't matter where the power "came from". When doing shield reinforcement, you are not using "battery power" (like you would in SFB). Rather, batteries simply serve as the determinant of how much power can be used to reinforce a shield for any given volley. The reinforcement does "come from batteries"; batteries are just the limit for how much reinforcement can be done.
At the end of the turn, batteries allow you to "carry over" power to the next turn. So, if you have four undisabled batteries, you may "carry over" up to four remaining points of power to the next turn. Since batteries cannot generate power, the power has to be present at the end of the turn to carry it over to the next turn. Again, this is a very different mindset from what was done in SFB.
As to the specific questions, ...
Krellex does perfect on A-C. (On B, part of the point is that you are getting "free" energy in the deal.) For D, keep the above in mind on how batteries work.

Thanks all. Yes, I figured there was a bit of SFB un-learning to do. It's just one of those things I thought I knew, so I just skimmed over it when I read the rules
Live and learn. Or in my case die and learn
Dang it, I want that PPD installed NOW!

Carshare Alexandria!
What's New?
There are now five new on-street Zipcars in the City. See below:
What is Carsharing?
In most cases, people do not want a car, but the service one provides. Carsharing allows people to use a car when needed, without the costs and inconveniences of car ownership. Simply defined, carsharing is sharing the use of a private vehicle with one's community. Carsharing is similar to car rental with the main differences being that an individual can use the carsharing vehicle for as little as one hour and the cars are located in the communities rather than at a central car rental location.
Carsharing began in Switzerland in the 1980's and expanded throughout Europe to include 450 cities. The concept has taken hold in the United States in areas such as Seattle, Chicago, Portland, Boston, D.C., and others. Generally, for-profit or non-profit organizations maintain the carsharing fleet and reservations website.
Zipcar is currently the carshare agency providing service in the City of Alexandria and throughout the region
Carshare Alexandria!
Through the Carshare Alexandria! program, the City of Alexandria provides a monetary incentive to residents and businesses to encourage use of carsharing services in the City like Zipcar and Hertz On Demand.
For residents and businesses** signing up for Zipcar for the first-time the City will reimburse the application ($25) and annual membership fees ($60) within 30 Days of signing up for a membership.
Hertz On Demand
For residents and businesses** signing up for Hertz on Demand for the first-time the City will reimburse usage fees up to $85 for the first 60 days of membership.
To get started wtih Carshare Alexandria and to be reimbursed follow these easy steps ...
To help us measure the success of carsharing and plan for future needs, those seeking reimbursement through Carshare Alexandria! are required to complete a follow-up survey approximately nine months from the time of reimbursement.
** please call 703-746-4084 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information

FINALIST: Best Family/Media Room
Sometimes basic is best. At least, what a custom electronics professional might refer to as basic.
The result could still be looked upon as very special by the homeowners, especially when it combines ease of use, uncluttered and visually appealing TV installation and attention to what the rest of the room design is like. That's what these homeowners received, and it makes for a sweet spot for them to relax with television and full surround sound.
"The homeowners specified the equipment to be hidden when not in use. They also specified the cabinet that holds the TV should match their decor. This is a pretty typical request from our customers," says Ryan Herd of New Jersey-based 1 Sound Choice. We wanted to install a back-to-the-basics, fundamentally sound, bulletproof audio/video system that is extremely easy to use."
Here it is, with the system consisting mainly of a Pioneer 50" plasma TV, Pioneer receiver for the family room and Sony Blu-ray player. On the audio end, a 5.1 system consisting of a Pinnacle front LCR soundbar, Emphasys in-wall rear speakers and a Pinnacle subwoofer serve up the surround sound. The front soundbar was neatly installed just below the plasma TV.
The control system is Control4, which also allows the homeowners to command the lighting, an important part of watching movies and TV shows in this space with all of its curtain-laden windows. Again, all the equipment is proven to be basically bulletproof for simple operation and navigation for anyone in the house or guests.
"We can't say enough regarding the great collaboration between the interior decorator, builder and owners," notes Herd. "We feel sometimes a back-to-the-basics approach is the best way to go." We're sure these homeowners would agree.

Went into the shop to pick up strings for my P-Bass. I saw this and bought it without a second thought. This is an incredible guitar for the value. A unique spin on the design coupled with a viable, tonal set-up. I use this guitar at practice and it shines alongside American Fender's my bandmates are playing. Incredible guitar.
Highly recommend.

I initially purchased this to have a spare guitar at work. However, I take it home with me every weekend because it is such a unique guitar. The nice chunky Jazzmaster neck along with the mix of pickups creates a really unique sound. I would definitely gig with this guitar!

When I purchased the Fender Squier Jazzmaster Telecaster, I already had the Custom Vibe both Butterscotch Blonde, all my friends were really impressed by the quality & sound. I found that the modified jazzmaster telecaster was very easy to chord with ease and very fast movement up & down the neck. The sound was truly great compared to other units that I own, tone was excellent using my fender amp. I am a child of the 50's-60's , and these are the sound that I grew up with. I would like to give the rating of 4.5 on this guitar overall, looks, workmanship, sound & tone and the ability to play easily; value is excellent. A great choice, thanks craigdigger!

Squier's Classic Vibe Telecaster® '50s puts classic "blackguard" Telecaster vibe into a gorgeous Vintage Blonde-finished pine-body guitar--you'll be hard-pressed to tell whether or not you are holding a premium ash-body instrument. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a maple Fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5" radius. Distinctive Telecaster tone rings from the custom alnico III single-coil pickups, giving clear note separation even when distorted, strong midrange dynamic response and plenty of solo high-end bite.

I agree with Frankso in his review. I got mine used, no damage, and with a Seymour Duncan Lil '59 single-coil sized humbucker in the bridge. When I first picked it up in the store, it just "felt right". The low E was out of tune, and I found out that some previous budding axe-man had put it into drop D tuning. Being as I was looking at it for more blues/country style twang, I had to ask myself why someone would drop D tune a Tele. Being an amateur myself, and forgetting at the time that many teles have been used in Rock and some metal (harken back to Cinderella and "Gypsy Road", is what comes to mind now that I know), I told the salesman that I needed a tuner because someone had put it into drop D and I wanted to check and make sure that the rest was tuned properly.
I made the comment that teles werent rock/metal guitars, and he took it, plugged it into a marshall, and RIPPED!!!!! That sold me right there. There is NOTHING wrong with the pine body. The original '52 Teles had pine bodies. Gives it a nice, warm tone, and still gets the job done with some of the "harder" stuff. This one is definitely a keeper.
Squier, you hit it out of the park with this one. Aside from a fret polish and dressing the sharp edges a bit, this guitar needed NOTHING. I doubt the previous owner ever did anything with it. My cousin, who sets up guitars on the side and is a damned good luthier in his own right, was extremely impressed with the build, fit, and finish of this model. He had to tweak nothing on this. Just polish and dress the frets, and now I have a guitar that sees more playtime from me than even my "real" 1998 Gibson Les Paul, which I absolutely love. This Tele does bright way better.

I owned two Stratocasters in the past: a Standard and a Road Worn. Now I own a Clapton signature.
But I always have been fascinated by the Telecaster.
I found a Classic Vibe used, and the price was very affordable, the model, vintage style as i wished. White, maple glossy neck, black pickguard, vintage tuners.. rough and beautiful.
It had a damaged string nut and the switch was loose but I bought it ... somebody says that Tele the more is distressed the more it play well... it seems to true.
I felt good playing it from the very first moment.
Now I fixed the nut and the switch and it plays amazing.. I play it every day with the same pleasure.. Yes is not a branded Fender, is a Squier but who cares! it plays exactly as a very good Telecaster does.
frankso owns this item
This was my first electric guitar, and what can I say, the thing is amazing. The maple neck is the most amazing neck I have seen on a Squier. The pickups are well-balanced, and also have a great tone on both the bridge and neck pickup.

I work in a small guitar shop near Detroit. We got one of these in yesterday and it absolutely blew me away. First of all it's gorgeous! A PINE BODY!!! Seriously one of the best acoustic woods for a solid body guitar, but be careful, it doesn't take much to nick it. And it actually has brass saddles, this guitar has amazing sustain! I know they're putting them on the American Special but seriously, they haven't been on a guitar at this price since before you were born. OK, the pickups aren't the best but for what they are they sound pretty good. And for a just few extra bucks you can grab some '52 pickups and have an amazing, unique Telecaster even a pro would take on stage!
I found this baby in a pawnshop for under $200.00. I had 5 other Tele's at the time. I played it thru a frontman 25r (Which I have also) Who ever owned it had some work done to it. The upgraded bone nut was perfect. I got the classic James Burton sound found on my old Ricky Nelson 45's. I didn't need another Tele, but for und 200 I had to get it. The fit and finish is top notch, It is super light and well balanced. I grew up with the 1980's Fenders from Japan with the thick neck finish which I love anyway. I have the 52 re-issue pickups in 2 of my Tele's and Texas Specials in another. The tone of this little guy rides side by side with these other Tele's. This classic vibe had some serious setup work done, It plays fantastic. When I let someone play it, they ask me if I want to sell it. If a guitar is that good that's what guys want. The only thing i would change is the color. If this was a 1500 guitar i'd dock a point. I love the colors of the 54-59 maple neck tele's with white pickguards. This guitar is too white, and i dont like black pickguards. Other than that this is one great guitar. If you even think you need a Tele. I think this is the best Tele on the market for und $1000.00

I've played many teles, mostly USA models and a few MIMs as well as a Squier Japan Strat from '84 (very good!!)
I've owned strats, Warrior, several high end and vintage Gibsons, Ibanez RGs and such
This guitar is absolutely amazing for the price -the thinline even more so.
I couldn't believe how well made it was, how well it sounded, the very high end guitar playablity -even more than a lot of USAs imo.
Its light, the pine has nice resonance and the pups are splendid for this price.
It plays better and feels better than many USA models, no kidding. Hard to believe its a Squier.
I wonder if its actually a custom shop with a Squier label just to let Fender see many people figure out the trick.
Just kidding but it really is as good as all the reviews.
At this price a hands down all time winner easily equal to a ton of other guitars costing 5 x as much.
I sure hope Fender US don't get jealous and dumb down production of these babies. lol
The perfect tele for anyone from beginners to top dollar pros.
Humble yourselves guys, just cause it says "Squier" doesn't mean shit anymore! This pure Fender quality!
Way to go Squier! Keep up the great Vibes ;-)
I am playing this guitar on a regular basis on jams in bars or legions, and I have to say you don't need to spend 1.000 or more for a Telecaster,
the Vibe plays very nice, sounds good and looks great, what I like the most it is light, you can have that guitar on you for hours and your shoulder is fine, anyway the vibe is my Tele and I like it a lot.

I actually bought one of these based on reviews seen on TDPRI Forum. Not the best way to buy a guitar but the reviews were spot on.
My first impressions of the finish were mixed. There were marks underneath the lacquer on the Pine that shouldn't have been there. I got another guitar sent and although this has a couple of very small marks under the lacquer, they are barely noticeable. However when I took it home and peeled off the scratch plate protector, there were burn marks on it, so I had a new scratch plate sent which I fitted myself.
Swapping the scratch plates gave me the chance to see what's under the surface. The fit and finish underneath is superb, with no rough edges and all the compartments painted. The quality of the lacquer on the body and neck is excellent too. And why don't they fit these classic tuners to all guitars? They are the best.
I really enjoy playing it, it has a classic (classy) tone. I haven't decided which pick-up position I like the best yet but it is versatile.
I have heard that the neck pick-up has been known to fail but should be covered under warranty.
Look up Anderton's on YouTube and watch their blind fold test of this, a Mexican standard, an American standard and a Custom Shop Tele. It's this review that clinched it for me.
I would suggest that you buy it from your local dealer, give it a play and a good look over.
I stand by my 5 star rating. The design, the combination of parts and materials is genius, just a shame that the QC team aren't a bit more vigilant.

When I want to play a Tele, this is the one I play. When I'm doing amp or pedal testing, I use this guitar. Why? Because it has the classic Tele tone and playability, time after time. I know what this guitar plays and sounds like so I'm not thinking about the guitar, I can pay attention to the amp or pedal under test. This guitar just feels good in your hands, like it belongs there. A super guitar at an even better price. If you are on the fence about this guitar, jump down and go buy one before they realize what a deal it is!
I have to start saying that the telecaster has its own spirit, is a design that reflects lots of common sense, simplicity and orientation to performance. This model has all the Mojo, in the same way the tele was first conceived by Leo, after all the tele was designed for to be rough, sturdy and reliable instrument for professional musicians. The materials on this guitar are in my opinion the best you can find in a guitar on this price range under 500 dollars. The neck is unbelievable perfect and smooth resembling the axes of the 50s and the body of pide gives the guitar a ligth weigth with the adition of the wood grain pattern and tonal character similar to the swamp ash.

Buy this guitar. It is Great Looking and Great Playing. I cannot tell the difference between this and a Standard except that you get all of the great vintage parts.

Overall it's a great sounding Telecaster, out of the box it plays good.
The playability is great and the the has a nice "Twang"
Only remark I have is that it needs a setup job since the intonation is slightly off.

I was recently chosen by Bianca of Vegan Crunk to be interviewed. She chose the questions below and I answered them. Simple and fun, right?! In turn, I will also interview a few commenters. If you want to be interviewed, follow the instructions after my interview.
I promised Bianca a cupcake if she interviewed me and since it would take some abuse from the post office en route, I figured this photo of a cupcake would work just as well!
Enjoy your cupcake Bianca!!!
The Q & A:
1) If you could only get your protein from one source, which food would you choose? Well, I would most likely choose tofu because it is so incredibly versatile. But, if for some reason tofu was abolished, I would choose the lovely sesame seed. Sesame seeds are loaded with protein and can be incorporated into may foods and desserts.
2) How did you choose the name for your blog? I love tahini!! I add it to sauces, cookies, baked treats, salad dressings, pie crusts, bread, granola, spreads, and on and on and on and on….
3) What's your all-time favorite dessert? I am a true cookie addict. It doesn't matter what kind, I pretty much love them all! I also have very fond memories of eating Boston Cream Pie with my grandma when I was a kid. I have yet to try a vegan version and I probably need to change that!
4) How long have you been veg? And what sparked the change in you? Three years. I was vegetarian for about six months before I switched to veganism. I had been gradually eliminating non-veg foods from my diet for awhile, and as soon as I discovered what icky ingredients lurked in certain foods, veganism was the answer. I have learned to enjoy so many new foods as a vegan. I wish I had made the choice years ago; it truly is the best lifestyle for me. Also, I have always enjoyed the outdoors, and my level of compassion for animals will never stop growing!
5) If you were president, what's the first thing you would do? I would ban plastic bags nationwide. This would hopefully encourage people to shop with reusable (canvas or otherwise) bags. It is saddening how many bags end up littering roadsides, streets, landfills, etc. They don't just disappear! People need to make a serious committment to protecting the Earth. It isn't difficult and it makes a huge difference.
To play along:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me." If a few people want interviews, I will randomly pick 2.
2. I will respond by commenting on your blog with five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

The utility's role is changing, and regulation must change along with it – to spur innovation and respond to evolving customer needs. Modernizing the industry will require a dynamic approach.
Customer Service: 2020
Grid upgrades spark an interactivity revolution.
interactive voice response (IVR) program, or they'll use a smart-phone or web app. That action will query the system and identify the same information that the CSR would be looking at. They'll select the appointment window that works for them, and then select a method for the utility to confirm the appointment, whether it's text, email or phone. On the day of the appointment, the utility contacts the customer and asks whether the appointment is still on. If yes, then the truck rolls. If no, it reschedules.
This is a back-end system that's going across multiple systems, including mobile data, CIS, appointment scheduling, etc., and it can provide what the customer needs without having to talk to a person. That's the direction we're going—toward a middleware environment that supports multiple systems and enables communication through various channels.
Labuhn, Telus: In general, the industry has to realize that in this transition we need to work toward standards that are globally accepted. In the telecom industry, we used to battle each other over standards. Most telecom companies now are going to 4G technologies. The same kind of consolidation of standards has to occur in smart grid for it to be truly stable and interoperable.
Coveney, SAP: As someone who's involved in technology interoperability discussions, I'm pretty pleased with how far the technology has come in the last couple of years. The HAN providers and IP-based solutions have taken great steps forward and I see them making even more leaps forward in the next few years. Microsoft, Google and others, including appliance companies like Whirlpool and GE, are changing the landscape of how utilities will be interacting with the home environment.
There's a lot that can be done, but the technology is ahead of what we can accommodate in the business model. It will continue developing at a faster pace than we can derive impacts from it.
Modeling the Future
Fortnightly: What's driving these changes? Is it purely about advancing technology, or are market forces driving utilities to change the way they provide customer service?
Sweat, TFCC: When you look outside the utility space, there's a desire among customers to transparently transact across the spectrum. They're accustomed to transacting with other retail providers using a credit card or with a mobile app, and they don't understand why utilities shouldn't be able to interact with them in the same way.
It also comes back to the workforce heading toward retirement. As retiring workers are replaced with app-savvy utility workers, that itself will bring a process of change—or at least will make change more acceptable within the utility.
Waters, Oracle: As the costs of energy escalate, customers will become more concerned about how they use energy. They'll want to become a more active participant [in the transaction]. With conservation, green energy, distributed generation and other products, customers will want assistance and ways to administer their options.
Also it's being driven by the need to improve service quality and cost. Smart- grid systems will allow utilities to isolate outages, in some cases right down to the

Have been trying Krill for over a year

I switched to Krill after reading about it and being not very happy with Fish Oil found at big box stores (Sam's club)- hated the fishy aftertaste. The Krill does not do that. The pills are smaller in size making it easier to swallow. It is hard to say what effect this has had - as I take it as part of a regimen. Overall, I do feel better. What started as a supplement regimen to improve hair loss has helped me with other things. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (went through the levothyroxin hell), I do have high cholesterol (my liver does not tolerate statins of any kind). I have not tested for cholesterol lately, but the compound regimen helped me lower it, and my thyroid hormones are back in normal range. I will be continuing with this. PS: My hair has NOT grown back, perhaps the loss has slowed some.

Am so grateful for this wonderful food that feeds my brain, soothes inflammation, and is easy on my digestion. I bought it on the off chance that it would be as good as the more expensive brands and it works just as well at half the price. Shipping is affordable, especially since I live across the Pacific Ocean and the shipping time was sweet. Thank you iHerb for giving me and others this opportunity to create a healthier life for ourselves!

I love the Starmada system with all it's options and whatnot, but I am finding my SFA matches are over in two turns. When I was playing ship vs. ship with frigates everything seemed fine, but when using the big dogs the games go like this: Overload photons and advance, move in closer and boom. Then count your victory points.
Would it be blasphemy to allow only one weapon from each battery fire per turn? I would hate to take away overloading photons as its cool to have that as an option, but 5d damage is pretty major.

I'm experimenting with dropping Newtonian movement, rolling my own designs... keeping hull sizes insanely small (I want 20+ ships) and conflating weapon groups into more of a sketch of the "official" ships in order to cut back on die rolls.

Yes. But I like to play what I've got before buying new stuff. Starmada corebook looks like it can make a game with a complexity on par with Ogre / G.E.V. just fine by itself.
At any rate, this is the first system I actually will design ships for. Every other design-a-thing game I've looked at (especially the space ones) are pointlessly fiddly with a complete lack of actual game at the end of it all.
Daniel Kast is to space combat what Steve Jackson is to role playing games. Yea!

I played Starfire this weekend with my 8-year-old son.
Phased movement is fine-- the important thing is not to have a fire option on every single impulse.
The optional movement in Starfire is odd at first, but really... it is a simple way to implement mid-turn speed changes and other manoeuvre related stuff. It's definitely superior to plotted movement as far as casual, 8-year old level games are concerned.
The list of scenarios is great-- they are basically a guided tour of both the game system and the universe. (The rules are almost insanely opaque-- I couldn't have figured out how to play without the scenario #1 to guide me. Starmada books have less in them, but they are extremely clear and organized, not to mention generic and modular.)
The damage allocation system is great-- no die rolls, just left-to-right marking off letters.
The fact that the book comes with specs for entire fleets is fantastic.
I expect my next Starmada games will use Starfire's sequence of play. (Initiative, phased movement, movement not required every single phase, allocate damage at the time the hits are rolled instead of saving it for the end of the turn.)
Now to just finish designing some Starmada ships....

Great, but terribly unrealistic (how come you have to kill all the armor before damaging the meaningful systems? How come you can destroy almost all the ships but allways leave the engine intact? Etc.) and in the end boring. Personnaly, the Starmada way to inflict damage is the best I know. And it's fun!

There is something strange here or, at least annoying. Races are not really different one from another, except some like Gorms. In fact, you don't have a race flavor, and one race is in the end not different from another. Also, ships are usually not designed toward a particular goal. For example, a cruiser X is slightly different from a cruiser Y and also from cruiser Z. It would have been more realistic to produce the same cruiser but in different versions (full missile for long range fire, short ranged with good armor and force beam, etc.).

Yeah, not that there aren't flaws... but the amount of game contained in a single book is pretty impressive.
The granularity of the weapons chart is one improvement over Starmada. A range difference of even one hex can be significant. (Hence the jockeying for position in the phased movement portion of the game.)
As far as the damage allocation is concerned... the simplicity of it is what's attractive-- it takes no time. Whereas in Starmada, allocating damage can take almost as long as doing the movement plots or firing all the weapons. The sequence of play in Starfire is lean, mean, and very discrete.
Finally... even if the ships aren't very good... there *are* ship lists there that demonstrate the designer's intent of the game... and it's all in the core book in a few pages. I would actually prefer that Starmada books list ships in some sort of Drake notation in order to get more designs in than doing the not-so-pretty one pair of record sheets to a page thing.
(And we are talking about a starship game to play with an eight-year-old-- at least at my table.)

Starfire was cool with the first version (in the end of the seventies). It became 'ugly' later, with loads of systems (and thus complexity) and enormous scenarios. I wonder if those from Imperial Starfire could be done easily...

I used to love starfire and it replaced SFB as my space combat game, great for mass space battes. The ship design was interesting enough and it worked really well with the campaign system. Imperial starfire was a bit over the top, but Akelda dawn not only had some great new tech stuff but also a simpler campaign system as I remember, playing from the point where you have just discovered the most basic tech and going from there was good stuff, you could see empire differences then as each player concentrated on different techs and you saw ships with roles. 'Realism' wise there is no real reason that an empire couldn't invest in researching anything they have met - why can't klingons come up with PhGs for example.
It wasn't SFB when it came to detail, but it wasn't designed to be. Playing with that level of detail is only good of you actually want it, if you want major space battles in an afternoon then Starfire was vastly better than SFB.

What I presume though, is it's something like what my guild does. All relevant 10 man content (the weekly raid, ToC, ToGC, VoA, and ICC) are considered guild only. You do not get yourself saved to another group for those, without an OK from an officer. All 25 man content, however, is open to be pugged if you like.
Would that wording fit what you need?

As federal policy makers push for GHG regulation and transparent markets, the California experience shows what works and what doesn't work.
Carbon and the Constitution
State GHG policies confront federal roadblocks.
(MAC) recommends an initial scheme of free allocation of some allowances and auctioning the other share of allowances, with the percentage of allowances auctioned increasing over time. This final MAC recommendation represents a significant departure from the original legislative scheme, and is legally significant. In its legislation, California intended to regulate GHGs from the utility sector by regulating all retail electric load-serving entities (LSEs), or retailers of power. Legally, all of these LSEs are located in-state or at least doing business in-state, and regulation would be imposed at the retail level on California activities.
However, this MAC recommendation, which in 2008 was accepted to be implemented by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), shifts the point of control upstream to encompass power wholesalers at the first-seller transaction. 15 This change makes it similar to the RGGI point of regulation. With the restructuring of California's electric market in 1998 and the subsequent restructuring in 2001 due to an electric energy crisis, 16 most of the power retailed in the state first goes through a wholesale sale, which legally isn't within state regulatory jurisdiction. California's choice to regulate carbon at the point of generation allows California to get at the problem of high-carbon power leakage into the state.
California's power comes significantly from outside the state: Roughly one-half of California's electric-sector GHG emissions are the result of electric power imports from out-of-state, now generated greatly by coal-fired power plants. 17 While California has little in-state coal generation, various California LSEs, particularly the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), 18 import significant amounts of coal-fired power from various other states. LADWP has argued that it serves a lower-income population and that the change to a first-seller point of CO 2 regulation is "unfair treatment" and targets Southern California. 19 The California legislation, A.B. 32, specifically requires CARB to consider the cumulative impact of direct and indirect sources of emissions on adversely affected communities.
Southern California Edison proposed coal-fired generators should receive free allowances to shield ratepayers from carbon allowance costs. 20 LADWP requested an opt-out option from the cap-and-trade requirements. The utility stated that if it had to comply with California's carbon cap-and-trade requirements, it either would have to jettison its renewable energy program or raise rates substantially.
If the California MAC recommendations are followed when the program begins in 2012, California also would encompass the individual wholesale generator level. Implementation would have to navigate the Supremacy Clause and the Compact Clause requirements under the U.S. Constitution.
Controlling Leakage
A major practical and policy problem identified by the RGGI states, as well as California, is so-called "leakage." Leakage occurs when "generators outside of the capped region export[...] power to load-serving entities ... within the region without being covered by the regional carbon cap," 21 and is defined by the RGGI scheme "as the increase in CO 2 emissions outside the RGGI region that may 'net out' (or partially eliminate) a portion of the emissions reductions made within the RGGI region under the Program." 22
The reality is that

The idea of soaking in a warm, relaxing bath is a thought that appeals to many. In addition to the benefit of solitude and quiet in a bathtub, the warm water stimulates the body's blood flow, an effect that has the well-known result of reducing tensions both physical and mental. While bathers that are truly tired and stressed out find it easy to "check out" and relax, others may find a bath rather boring! The remedy? A selection of fun and interesting bathtub additions that can turn any relaxing soak into one that's stimulating for all the senses.
Bath Bombs
Sometimes called fizzies, tablets, or bathballs, bath bombs are spheres of baking soda, colors, scented oils, flower petals, and other fun ingredients that fizz when added to the bathwater. The water and baking soda react to one another, providing a science-fair-like stream of bubbles that feel good on sore backs and feet. The oils and other additives float in the tub, coloring the water fun hues like blue or rose, and in some cases even shedding sparkling glitter along the way. Bath bomb addicts recommend sliding large bombs or ones with a lot of "confetti" into a knotted hosiery sock before tossing it in the bath, thereby keeping any stray pieces in an easy-to-toss container.
Bubble Bath
This familiar favorite of kids everywhere is one that moms and dads are calling their own these days. With the development of solid "bubble bars" that can be crumbled under running water, luxurious scents like chocolate, lavender and orange blossom are quickly gaining popularity over youthful "bubble gum" type scents. People of all ages love a big tub of bubbles, after all!
Bath Salts
As much a staple of the high-end bath experience as turkish bathrobes, bathers are enjoying this spa ritual at home on their own time. Made from actual salt crystals blended with essential oils and occasionally herbs, bath salts help open the pores for true relaxation. When using salts, be sure to put the crystals in while the bath is filling up, otherwise you may end up sitting on an uncomfortable patch of gravel.
Whether using one addition or several, these fun and enjoyable products can turn any regular bath into an experience you'll be anxious to repeat. Happy bathing!
