CV lies multiply in recession, says survey
More would-be bankers than ever are lying on their CVs, according to an annual lie-check conducted by an employee screening company. Powerchex says that 19% of job candidates in the financial services industry had a discrepancy on their CVs. The company said that the number of CVs containing lies submitted to IT contracting …
And how many employers lie about the vacancy
phrases like "interesting and challenging", "scope for promotion", "lively and motivated team", "excellent work environment". I think that if anyone was bold enough to carry out this survey the answer would be that 100% of them do.
It would be interesting to find out how many employers lie when describing roles.
It would be interesting to find out how many employers lie when describing roles.
The amount of times I have been for an interview offering the Market Rate only to find out it is the Market Rate for Poland.
We have this job here which is so interesting you will LOVE IT You can do this and this and we will provide training in this and this and we are a loving caring family. We really try to look after our employee's as if they are our own children...... Oh and did I mention the endless promotion possibilities.
They lie we lie, the key to a good interview is to try and meet somewhere in the middle. I would love to take some companies to account for the falsely advertising roles. I once attended an interview for a Junior Web Admin (circ 18K) when I was currently working as a Senior Web Admin (circ 32k).
I hope no-one finds out that I lied about being Bin Monitor at school.
AC for obvious reasons.
Senior Jobs
"there have been cases where people have been dismissed, even from extremely senior jobs, for lying on CVs years earlier."
I would hope that it was a case of "people have been dismissed, especially from extremely senior jobs" since the more senior the position the more responsibility the staff member is expected to carry and that would seem to go directly against the concept of lying to your employer.
Of course I'm being nieve to think thats how the world really works and realise those at the bottom of the pile are probably far more likely to be dismissed for minor CV discrepancies while those at the top would have to be caught in a serious outright lie before carrying any of that responsibility.
Digital Pogroms/Binary Constructions
"Why would Microsoft's chief sex instructor apply here?"
Now that would be an interesting interview, requiring above average abilities, which are a pleasure to demonstrate.
Where would one apply here, El Reg, or is a Simple Expression of Earnest Amateur and Life Long Professional Interest Shared on a Threaded Comment Phished/Phormed/Hoovered into a Generative MetaDataBase for Future Build Projects/Virtualised Programs.
Follow Up Survey
Will we be getting a survey on advertised posts for accuracy on pay/bonuses, hours worked, responsibilities and promotion prospects?
Honest and genuine belief?
Doherty: "If ... they hold an honest and genuine belief that the employee has been dishonest then they will be entitled to terminate that employment ..."
Crikey. Is that how the law works? You can sack somebody if you have an "honest and genuine belief" that they lied? Just like you can shoot someone if you honestly believe they're a terrorist?
Surely what's needed is a *reasonable*, *well founded* belief, supported by some evidence.
I'm sure that ex-bankers only lie by omission - as in "No, I never worked in the banking industry. Honest." Some things should never be discussed in a job interview.
Paris, 'cause she doesn't have to lie on her CV. She'll just get her daddy to buy the company.
why not lie?
That you might get caught and fired is surely no deterrant. At least you'll have had the job long enough that they might appreciate you as opposed to being honest and unemployed.
Better to have loved and lost etc.
RE: Honest and genuine belief
"....they can start disciplinary proceedings and if at the end of that process they hold an honest and genuine belief that the employee has been dishonest then they will be entitled to terminate that employment on the grounds of gross misconduct."
is the quote in more context. The implication here, I believe, is that after a disciplinary hearing there is still reason to have an "honest and genuine belief" then that could be used as a basis for sacking your arse.
Accordingly one would assume that the disciplinary hearing would have to have gone very badly for the lying employee for such a belief to remain - remember that any formal disciplinary proceeding will be logged and that the interviewee has the right to have someone present as witness / support.
The implication of the phrase "honest and genuine belief" implies to me that the belief is reasonable, well founded and that sufficient steps have been taken to ascertain the facts.
Look, say you lied about having a degree and your employer begins to suspect this some time down the line. They would ask you for proof, such as your certificate, a letter from your university or possibly some other corroborating data (trustworthy witnesses, say) which should answer the question one way or another. Same with professional qualifications, employment history, etc.
Emphasis on wrong details
I'm appalled at many of the business hiring practices in the US. It fails frequently, and third party recruiters make a mess of it all.
What's annoying is how employers rarely care about (or HR does a poor job of picking up on) skill level and ability, instead focusing on trivial facts such as prior employers, employment dates, and prior pay. This is especially true for upper level positions, as if those have any barring on one's potential.
It's quite certain that a well paid ex-ms, apple, or google employee will have a large advantage over their non-brand name counterparts. Some of these employees become arrogant because their situation means they don't get to appreciate how difficult it can be to get employment on merit alone without the brand name recognition. Fortunately for them, they will never find out.
I've taken the attitude that you win some you loose some, which is fine. However the if I were to judge the effectiveness of the whole process, I'd be surprised if it were much better than casting dice.
And the remaining 82%?
As far as I know, I have never lied on a CV or job application. That might help explain why I cannot get a job.
@Richard Walsh
'At least you'll have had the job long enough that they might appreciate you as opposed to being honest and unemployed'.
I assume your CV is a work of fiction then...
Surely this is where interviews come in?? To verify the accuracy of a candidates abilities and experience, through reasoned questioning of their CV.
If a company/interviewer cannot do that then it reflects just as badly on them as it does the candidate.
I've lost count of the number of candidates who have seriously hammed up their CVs to the point whereby within 3 minutes of questions you know they've just listed all the relevant 'buzzwords', in the hope they can talk around it.
This is almost a given for candidates who have formerly been working for 'offshore' suppliers sadly (although I have met a few talented apples amongst them)
@Pete 2, dunncha, Peter Clarke 1 etc...
Indeed, I think it's a forgone conclusion that in the battle to cram the most lies, untruths and utterations of warped reality into a given surface area of paper, it's the people on the recruiting side of the desk who come out victorious more often than not.
I still shudder at the memories of one interview I went to a few years back, where the role on offer bore only the faintest of resemblances to the role advertised. I'm not particularly fond of interviews at the best of times, so turning up to one where almost instantly you realise you're not the sort of candidate they're looking for, you're struggling to answer all but the simplest of questions they're asking you, and where they can't even be bothered to apologise for dragging you all the way across the country on a false premise, was pretty much guaranteed to put me in a foul mood for the rest of the day.
I'm with the others ...
... questioning the honesty of "the other side" in this.
I'm lucky to be in a job through personal contacts and favours (hence the AC posting), and one thing that struck me when looking at the adverts on the agency websites was that few (if any) were actually honest about the job ! It was quite clear that there was a huge gulf between the requirements for decades of high level experience in multiple 2 year old technologies and the "bottom of the ladder" pay rates. My theory is that they expect you to "embellish" your CV, so they "embellish" the requirements to compensate. But that means they won't get any honest applicants, none at all.
An honest applicant is likely to see the huge gulf, realise that their application will be "sifted" by a junior with no knowledge of what the ticked (or rather, unticked) boxes mean - and infer that it's pointless applying as your application will be one of the first in the shredder. If you do bother applying, you won't get anywhere because your application will be one of the first in the shredder !
"I would advise everybody to be honest on their CVs and application forms ..."
Great advice if you want to remain unemployed.
So how about the recruitment industry sorts itself out and posts honest job adverts, and accept applications from honest applicants ?
30 years of lies
I try to be truthful, but honestly, there are some thing that just can not be checked, and things I truly don't remember. If they want someone with 5 years experience and I only have 4, sure I will pad it. I have 8 out of the 10 required skills, sure, I will tell them I have the experience, but haven't done much of it recently, if that's what it takes to get the job. Was I really the Sr. engineer at a company that closed 20 years ago, or just one of many. Outright lie, no, but mess with the little details a little, sure. Every company I have worked for has thought that I was a questionable hire, or the last one left who would take the money, but none of them were ever disappointed with their choice once I was on staff, a few of them begged me to reconsider (with $$), and one even cried. Yes, I am that good, but you really can't tell that from a CV.
Can Be Good As Well As Bad
Let's face it, if someone is adept at lying then for some positions that could potentially be good for the role being undertaken. If someone can be convincing to others that they know what they are doing, perhaps despite never having had experience in that area previously - and they have the wherewithal to actually learn fast and do a good job regardless then I see that as a whole lot different to being told "weapons of mass destruction exist in Iraq" by a slimy toad who should be hanged for his crimes.
And Paris because as I was thinking about my answer here I was thinking about lying, honest. Bu it was a different type of lying, if you know what I mean.
Redundant paragraph...?
"Financial services job applicants submitted CVs containing lies in 19% of cases, a 12% rise on last year. The figure represents a three year high for lie figures, Powerchex said.
The figure of 18% for IT contracting jobs is triple what it was last year and is also a three year high, the company said."
I'd say one of these paragraphs is redundant, wouldn't you?
My CV
was a beautiful piece of fiction (just enough truth to obfuscate the lies), during unemployed years in the 80s I was travelling, in the 90s I worked for various companies that went under. but I never falsified checkable facts, that's just asking for trouble. I got nearly every job I applied for.
Once you have the job, if they want to sack you for lies on your CV, chances are they're just looking for an excuse to get rid. Your performance in the job there and then is far more important to a boss than a piece of fiction you created to get your foot in the door.

How has the economic downturn affected you?
Hi, everyone! I've read a lot of news about corporations losing profits and high unemployment rates, but I'm curious as to how the financial crisis has affected people on an individual level.
I'm currently unemployed and looking for work, and the process seems especially bleak and disheartening. I've read stories about 500 people applying to ONE (!) entry-level. I've probably applied to close to 20 jobs, and have yet to hear anything back. I'm looking at work that I've never considered before, such as substitute teaching or catering, as a way to make ends meet. Now, I'm thinking about applying to graduate school for next year, because I don't know what else my options are.
Anyone else? How has the financial crisis changed your life?

Have you seen the Juergen Teller exhibition Woo! at the ICA yet? The provocative German fashion photographer has taken over the London gallery with a huge variety of his work featuring blown-up prints of his portraits featuring everyone from a (naked) Dame Vivienne Westwood to supermodels Kate Moss, Lily Cole and Kristen McMenamy as well as his mother in Germany. There's also an image of himself (naked bien sur) and some cute, if quite dazzled, looking babies. It's a fine display of Teller's signature way of shooting with two cameras and multiple flashes in order to capture that bright, washed-out effect.
In the case of shooting Kate Moss reclining in a mucky old wheelbarrow, Juergen exclusively tells Grazia that the supermodel invited him to the country. 'We were having a walk around the grounds when I saw the wheelbarrow and suddenly thought, "You should be in that wheelbarrow!"' Did he have to persuade her? 'I had to convince her, yes. I have a certain determination. It felt right visually – I'm interested in life and how people are in real life. I can be very cruel and humorous and serious and silly. I think I have a relatively wide range – but that's how life is.'
Want to know more about the super snapper? Read on for five incredible facts...
1. Together with high-powered stylist (now a photographer herself) Venetia Scott, who was his partner at the time, Juergen Teller created a 'realist' style of photography that defined the '90's – along with Corrine Day and later on, Terry Richardson.
2. These days he's the other half of a different power couple, as he is married to art dealer and gallerist, Sadie Coles. One of the cute babies is his son with Coles, he also has a 15 year old daughter with Scott.
3. Now he rarely shoots fashion editorial for magazines, focusing on portraits, for the likes of W Magazine. However three top fashion brands; Helmut Lang, Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood have returned to Teller season after season for their campaigns, so you never have to look hard to see one of his iconic fashion images.
4. Somehow, Juergen convinced Victoria Beckham to climb into an enormous shopping bag and pose with only her legs visible, poking out of the top, for a Marc Jacobs campaign. What made him think of it? 'Before I met her, I'd always seen paparazzi shots of her,' he tells Grazia. 'And it looked like she had no sense of humour, like she was pissed off. But she's really funny and doesn't take herself so seriously, and that's how I wanted to show her.' He also wanted to make a point. 'What sells are products,' he adds. 'And I thought, "Well, you're just a product too and I want you to be like a product in this bag."'
5. Not many people know this: an issue of the niche design and art magazine 032c was once removed from shops due to a Teller image inside. The offending photo was of supermodel and Teller muse, Kirsten McMenamy, revealing her bottom – without any pants on!
Juergen Teller: Woo is at the ICA from 23 January to 17 March

Post subject: Persuasive Games: Exploitationware
I had been trying to ignore gamification, hoping it would go away, like an ill-placed pimple or an annoying party guest or a Katy Perry earworm. But a recent encounter with the concept has made me realize that plugging my ears and covering my eyes to it is a losing strategy. Even if our goal is opposition, we need to better understand gamification's appeal in order to practice that opposition more effectively.
In early April I spoke at the annual Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC, or 4Cs). 4Cs is to the college writing and rhetoric community what the Game Developers Conference is to the video game community. It's almost as large, with dozens of simultaneous sessions.
And just as GDC has its swank soirées run by big devs, publishers, and hardware hawks, so 4Cs boasts parties sponsored by textbook publishers. Instead of peddling platforms, companies like Pearson and Bedford St. Martins hope to lure the elbow-patch and twin-set set to purchase large quantities of their profitable wares.
My second book, Persuasive Games, is all about video games and rhetoric, but it's had slow uptake among the more traditional, slower-moving rhetoric community. This was the first year I was allowed to speak at the conference, and I was eager to spread my ideas among this large and influential, if traditional, set of scholars.
After all, everyone who attends college is subjected to writing classes. Since we communicate increasingly often with software, we ought to insure that the teachers in charge of these courses understand how computation works. This is generally new territory for most instructors, including college writing and communication professors.
But during the Q&A session following my panel, I was surprised to hear one of the attendees ask explicitly about the possibility of using "gamification" to improve students' performance with and engagement in the writing classroom. Here was a scholar of rhetoric who didn't know my ongoing work on procedural rhetoric, but who was familiar with a very recent marketing gimmick. What's going on?

I've been a professional musician for almost 30 years now, and have used many amps during that time. My main amps have always been Marshall, and I have gigged with a couple of JCM800's pretty much since I started playing. The only Fender amp I have ever owned prior to this has been a Twin Reverb which I hated because the thing was just too damn loud. Anyway I was buying a new guitar a few months back and while testing it out in the shop the assistant just happened to plug me into a Blues Deluxe. The tone from this thing just instantly blew me away. I wanted to make sure it wasn't the guitar so I ran out to the car and brought in my '62 strat, which is my main guitar. I have honestly never heard it sounding better. There just seems to be a natural compression from this amp which gives you that snap from the strings. Needless to say I walked out with the amp as well as the guitar, and since then I have bought another one. I now gig with 2 of these in stereo and every member of the band have commented on how good my new sound is. I can't say enough good things about this amp really. It's only 40 watts but my God these things are bloody loud. The wonderful thing about them is you never lose tone by increasing or decreasing the volume, so whether you want this for a bedroom amp, studio amp, or for live use, you are always going to get that consistency of sound. I tried the Hot Rod Deluxe out as well, which is a great amp, but there's something vintage sounding about this which just makes you fall in love with it right away. And for around £700 or thereabouts it's a steal.

I have owned this amp for 6 years now and I must say it is the worst amp ever. Not only does it sound terrible but its quality is of the worst (especially for a company like Fender). It frequently breaks down because of the cheap construction. I understand it is not a very expensive amp but it was soldered poorly and I'm not sure how it ever passed quality control. If you want a good amp, especially if you're a working musician do not buy anything Fender. The only amp worse than this is the Hot Rod Deluxe (which is the same amp basically). I have spent 3 times the amount the amp cost on repairs. Fender is really letting me down lately with their PCB electronics.

This amp is my first fender product and it was definitely a great choice. perfect for medium size bar like scenarios, a little bit loud for practicing in my room alone until I get a drummer in here and then its perfect. Has an overall great sound thats easy to adjust with a decently large range for the EQ's. Looovveee the tweed look and gorgeous bottom-mid ends. This amp will be in my equipment line up for a long time.

I bought one of these off the Internet for a steal since the guy who owned it had to move overseas. Best move I ever made! This thing is fantastically rich and loud! I have some pedals hooked into it and it takes them lusciously! I bought this amp primarily for home practicing use with the eventual hope to gig locally. I don't think I'll have any problems being heard when I do.
This thing handles cleans like a champ (No not a Super Champ). The cleans are warm, bright, and really shine with the reverb. When I hit my overdrive pedal (Boss DS-1), I get a juicy vintage rock sound out of it. Other pedals are brilliant and really stand out through this amp.
I don't think I will ever get rid of this amp. I love the look & sound I get from this tweed beauty. I think I need to grow my Fender amp collection!
nubs owns this item
This is my first Fender amp I've had and its hands down amazing! Very loud great for playing in a band and gigs, when playing in my room I have the volume at no more than 3. Classic clean Fender tone with a smooth creamy overdrive. For me its a 10 out of 10. Its my first all valve amp and its a big step up from my previous amp. Makes my Telecaster sound a whole lot better.
Declan9505 owns this item
On the gain channel, this amp has a great classic blues tone; true vintage. I spent most of my time in the store exploring the variations in this channel and just hit the clean channel briefly. When I got home, I continued to explore, and to my dismay found that the clean channel is seriously lacking. The clean sounds okay up till about 3 or 4 and then the tones, especially at the low end, blur. Hitting an open E chord on the clean channel with the volume at 5 produces a mushed, muddled sound; the individual notes are hardly distinguishable. I think that the source of that round vintage tone is the Achilles heel of the clean channel. After about two hours of playing around, I took it back to the store and traded it in for a Hot Rod Deluxe III, which is the same 40W amp with contemporary components and design. I love that one. It has great clean sound and even more gain options. The Hot Rod Deluxe III cannot generate the rounded vintage sound, which while being cool is very limited in applications. However, the broader palette of the Hot Rod Deluxe III more than offsets for the lack of vintage sound.

I used some old fender amp for years which was the first amp i bought. When i was planning on buying an amp i saw the blues deluxe, and i quickly fell in love. I play better with this amp than any other. I even got my cousin who used to hate fender amp to loving them so quickly. He played a few notes and was opened up to something else. He later went looking for a fender amp. If your tight on money but you want something better than the lower class fender amps this is the amp for you. I love it, somebody may not. Just like i dont like gibson someone may not like fender. If you like it, i would say just buy it.

My first amp was a brownface Princeton in the early 60's. since then I have used solid-state models, but started looking at tube amps again this year.
I hit my local store and played through many amps, including some non-fender ones. I kept going back until I narrowed it down to this one. not too loud, not too quiet, and a sound I am very happy with.
when I played it at my first gig a few weeks after, I got comments not just from bandmates, but the audience too. they raved about it. I also just bought the extension cab, so I have a tweed mini stack. it really adds to the warmth. as far as reliability, so far, so good. with a 5 year warranty, I feel safe. very happy with my purchase.
The BDRi is an outstanding amp for playing the Blues. Replace the 12AX7 in V1 with a NOS 12AY7 and you have near-vintage Tweed tone.
Pay no attention to the rants of woodstockstrat/jadeblack777. He is a troll who came into the Fender Community Forums (under the user name woodstock777), wrote two extremely nasty posts about the BDRI, then disappeared.

This is the worst amp that I have owned in all my years of performing. Just went out on me again after eight months. I hate it with a passion. Speaker is junk, amp is junk. It has a terrible design and is a shame. I wouldn't buy one for a greenhorn. I should have made it Solid State and by the way, I don't use Solid State but anything would be better than this. Zero, I say, Zero headroom. No volume. A thousand dollar piece of garbage. I'm a 20 year pro and thought it would lighten the load for smaller venues, terrible mistake.
Jadeblack777 owns this item
Like the title line said, this amp is not your amp if you want to play Metallica. With that out of the way, if you want the clean, warm tones of Clapton, BB or Albert King or want to play most of SRV's songs, this amp can and will do it! The Blues Deluxe Amp is a sensational amp for gigs in clubs, honky tonks and bars! It will even make the sunday morning choir sound better! I am so very pleased to plug my American Standard Strat or my Custom Ibanez. It brings joy to my ears when I hear the warm sweet tones that I get from this amp. I also have an extension Cabinet to match it and will hook up my Tube Screamer and/or Wa-Wa Pedal for effects. There may be one more pedal I want to add to my set-up, but it really isn't needed to make any sweeter music flow though this amplifier. 'Nuf said!

Having played through many an amp through the years it is finally in my dotage so to speak that
i have found an amp that ticks all the boxes for portability, value, tone and design. Yes, i understand there are some very impressive units out there in the big wide world, however in the absence of spending the equivalent of Belgium's GDP in that ever consuming search for tone which seems to be the burden of every serious player this little beauty produces such a dynamic but mellow sound (even with overdrive initiated) that it could well be called the 'Velvet Hammer.' Hats off to Fender.
peter brasier owns this item
I`ve read so many good reviews about this thing and the only conclusion I can come up with is that there are a lot of beginners out there buying the amp. Absolutely zero clean channel above 3 and NO it's not "too" loud. Musicians who are gigging will not be able to use this amp if there is a drummer. Mic it you say,...WHY? It sounds horrible. Zero head room. Terrible overdrive channel, weak clean channel, terrible design and use of hardware. The cheapest preamp tubes on the market, a copycat speaker or at least it wishes. Paper thin speaker cone. A set of level 10 GT 6L6`s which would stop a train from distorting but not this mud wagon. This is the worst guitar amp I have ever owned and I've owned a lot of them. Simply wanted an amp for the smaller gigs and what a mistake I made. Small as in, bedroom small maybe as long as there's no drummer. I`ve been a loyal customer for 20 years and always stood up for the name but after this piece of junk, I must admit, I am searching for something better. Sure, you`ve got the Twin but why make an amp at all if this is what you come up with. The volume pot isn't even an audio taper pot. The pre amp tubes are the cheapest on the market, the speaker sucks period, the output tubes are useless no matter what you use because of the terrible design and lack of clean headroom and useless eq pots.
I just want to warn serious musicians out there that unless you plan on buying a 300 dollar speaker, new preamp tubes and power tubes, a mod kit and plan to pay a tech to install the kit, which immediately voids the warranty by the way, then STAY AWAY from this joke of an amp. It is absolutely useless for anything more than living room jamming, WITHOUT other players, because you don`t want to be embarrassed and without any noise. Terrible product, the worst yet.

I bought this for a clean platform. I had a Eminence Legend GB 128 so I put it in and bam! drive channel was completely usable now,more head room by some. It took the high end and smoothed it out and gave a tighter bass sound. Im using the Bogner pedals in the clean channel and it sounds very good. Speaker cable change also smoothed the amp out and some diff. preamp tubes.
I have had my new Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue for about a month. I love the clean sound that comes from the jewel. I have a Fender G-Dec 30 and a few other Fender Amps but this one lures me every day. I play American Stratocasters and Telecasters and this amp keeps me very happy. I have played professionally and also teach guitar. My advice is if you like a great clean sound with options for reverb and drive you have to test drive the Blues Deluxe. It is perfect for studio work or up to a mid-size room for a gig, This amp is exactly what I have been looking for.

my favorite amp ever!!! this amp is perfect for any club scenario.. everything just works, and works for years.. without a lot of fuss and the sounds are incredible. for straight ahead playing without a lot of pedals all you need is a signal boost peddle, and channel number 1 and you can work your tone from the volume knob. I gig weekly and this is the set-up i use most of the time. and I am doing original material, plus covers from the stones, jeff beck, clapton kiss, train, etc... this amp is really that good and versatile!! of course you will need a couple of teles, and strats to go with it...

The amp sounds great. I just bought it so I haven't had much tme with it however I know people that own quite a few of them actually. So I have played thru them before and I own a matching pair of 410 Blues devilles that I played with for almost 20 yrs now, which I just love. This blues deluxe is for the slightly smaller venue where the 410 deville is too much and using 2 devilles is out of the question. The deluxe has great tone for everything that I do at least. All the bite for country, great warmth for Blues and rock and pop as well. It sounds warm and fat on those big jazz chords. I mainly play Clapton Strats so I bought this amp with confidence knowing my past experience with the deville's tone the deluxe will be a great little baby brother and depending on the gigs will work incredibly well matched with my old 1966 Fender Princton reverb. My 74 gibson les Paul Custom and My 63 Gibson L-5 C.E.S. sound really good thru the amp.The L-5 just sings in this amp as my E.S-335 and E.S.-339 do they sing and scream. The drive channel works great as a change in tone as long as dial it in using the master volume to match up with the clean channel. Add your effect upfront before the amp and walla you are there. Plugging power amp in directly seems to sound great as well for that flat tone without having to tweak anything except reverb levels. A wee bit disappointed to see made in Mexico on the back based on the prices, but I guess that is how it goes nowadays. The tweed looks just as good as back in the 50's but one must be extra careful with it for a soils easy can tear too. Anyway I give it a thumbs up great amp review. May just buy another one as well.

The Blues Deluxe is an excellently designed amp for club gigs. The features are quite nice, I especially like the effects loop. The sound in channel 1 is classic Fender all the way, I really enjoy playing that channel. It's bright switch is a nice feature, it allows you to tone down the highs some. The Drive channel I find to be somewhat noisy and the tone is no where near as smooth as the normal channel, it seems to have a very crackly harsh overdrive sound that is not appealing to me. I prefer a TS or OD pedal via the effects loop. The tweed covering is stylish and eye catching, the weight is good considering the size of the amp. The foot-switch has some latency when channel switching, but that is a non-issue for me because I only use the normal channel. I recommend the amp for the player that needs that extra kick of 40 watts to get over the drummer when you play leads in a small club without having to mic it through the PA. My Blues Deluxe RI has been a very dependable amp and not seen the shop at all in 4 years of use.

This amp has a great clean channel. It stays clean all the way up to 6-7 then starts adding a subtle overdrive . It is very responsive to the attack of the strings. The amp is very loud it hardly ever gets turned up past 3-4 in practice.The overdrive channel is not a my favorite sound at low volume, but if you dime the master volume and drive it sounds good. I must say, I never use the overdrive channel. I prefer using the clean channel as a white canvas and use pedals to shape the sound I am looking for. I do not know if it is just my amp, but there is a very very slight delay when clicking the foot switch from the drive channel to the clean. I am personally not a fan of the sound of the Eminence speaker, so I use an 8 ohm extention cab with 2 anniversary V-30's. I will eventually change the stock Eminence speaker with an AlNiCo Jensen I have laying around here. Like another reviewer said to roll back a bit on the tone knob on the guitar does make a difference, but I had my tone stack caps values changed and now I do not do that. Over all, out of the 8 amps I have in the studio the blues deluxe is the one I go to every time first. The tweed cabinet does exuberate that retro vibe. The Blues Deluxe reissue is one amp you can just plug a guitar into a overdrive pedal, then pedal into the amp and just play all night long.

Purchased this as an upgrade to my small SS practice amp. Will be using it for gigs, recording, and practice. Absolutely LOVE the crisp clean channel. It seems to take quite a bit of volume (or hotter pickups than I have) to get a good crunch on the drive channel, but with my MXR OD pedal, it sounded perfect! I was looking for an amp that would be flexible enough to handle electric and acoustic. With a simple EQ box between the acoustic and the amp, I can easily dial in a great sound on both my acoustics (one with a Fishman Rare Earth soundhole p'up, and one with a Fishman Matrix undersaddle). This thing has incredible and flexible tone, and LOTS of volume! Yeah... I'm in love....
rayntree owns this item
I just purchased this amp a few weeks ago, so I am still experimenting with how to get the best sounds out of it. My initial impression is that the clean tones you can get out of this amp are phenomenal. Great for blues, jazz, or just everyday practicing to get better on this always challenging instrument. The drive channel is not much different from the clean, as far as I could tell, so if you want an amp that produces a nice growl with overdrive or distortion(without resorting to pedals), I would probably look elsewhere. If you are into blues or jazz though, the sounds that come from this thing are exactly what I was looking for. It makes you want to just keep playing and playing. My other amp is a Marshall solid state, so this is my first real tube amp. All the online tips suggest dialing back on the guitar's tone knobs to get the best from this amp and I would definitely agree with that. I also dial the volume back on my guitars so as not to wake the neighbors, as the 40 watts definitely give it enough power for any residential setting. I play a Fender Tele and a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and surprisingly, I actually prefer the sound of the Gibson through this amp over the Fender. The humbuckers keep the amp dead silent. As for appearance, I love the tweed. A friend of mine saw it and said it reminded her of something from her grandma's house, which wasn't the reaction I was anticipating. However, when I opened it up I thought it was gorgeous, so I guess that is the important thing. The only issue with the exterior for me is that the knobs are mounted on a silver plate with white lettering, which makes it hard to read at a glance. Black lettering on the silver plate would be a definite improvement, especially for use in low light areas. All in all, this is a great sounding tube amp that is solidly built and looks like it will last me a good long while. The capabilities of the amp are way beyond my playing abilities at this point, so I look forward to getting much better to do this amp justice.

They are aloof and mysterious, yet like to sit in the audience of their own runway show and mingle with the fashion 'hoi polloi'; they are diminuitive in stature yet their designs and cuts favour the statuesque; and they are young, spritely, and the epitome of downtown cool, whilst their clothes ooze an uptown elegance & sophistication that might traditionally appeal to a more 'mature' customer (with the clothing allowance to match). But, perhaps, therein lies the secret of their success.
In a celebrity-saturated branding jungle, they could almost be perceived as 'Anti-Brand', which bodes well for a label that prides itself on being for fashion insiders, or lovers of chic understatement. They even make a point of using virtually unknown models in their runway shows, when they certainly have the wherewithall to parade a bevy of supermodels if they so wished.
Their Autumn Winter 2013 collection was certainly no exception. With its monochromatic palette, elongated silhouettes, clever cuts, and luxurious fabrications - it was certainly true to the 'anti-brand' they have cleverly created. Beautifully tailored topcoats worn over pencil thin trousers or elegantly asymmetric, drapey ankle-length skirts were fashioned out of black wools and silks. Tunic dresses - some worn over trousers - lightened the load, being made out of creamy, dreamy jacquards and brocades. A personal favorite was an oversized Arran sweater with exaggerated shoulders accompanying a silky pair of pyjama-like pants that would have served well for 'old movie night' on the sofa but begged to be worn to a sophisticated soiree.
There was nothing revolutionary on offer - but that's just the point. Why scream, when you can whisper and still be heard with such resounding clarity.

Key Clinical Issue
What is the comparative effectiveness and safety of external-beam radiation therapies for head and neck cancer?
Background Information
Decisions about treatment for head and neck cancer are largely dependent on the site, stage, and histological characteristics of the disease. Treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or some combination of these.
In recent years, the techniques for external-beam radiation therapy have evolved with the intended purpose of delivering more radiation to the tumor while sparing normal tissues and adjacent vulnerable organs. In recent years, two-dimensional radiation therapy (2DRT), three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) have been the most commonly used techniques for head and neck cancer. Despite the widespread adoption of IMRT throughout the U.S., few prospective, randomized studies have directly compared the clinical effectiveness of IMRT with that of either 3DCRT or 2DRT. Proton beam therapy is less commonly used.
Despite proposed advantages and risks of various radiotherapies for head and neck cancer, the current evidence is insufficient to determine if 2DRT, 3DCRT, or IMRT confers any advantages in terms of tumor control and survival. This does not mean that differences do not exist, but that future study is required. However, with respect to adverse events and quality of life, IMRT is associated with a lower incidence of late xerostomia and with improved quality of life for domains related to late xerostomia. For other adverse effects, differences and risks may exist, but there is insufficient evidence from which to permit conclusions about any comparative effects.
A note regarding this Clinician Guide
A systematic review of 108 clinical studies was conducted by independent researchers, funded by AHRQ, to synthesize the evidence on what is known and not known on this clinical issue.
This topic was nominated through a public process. The research questions and the results of the report were subject to expert input, peer review, and public comment.
The results of this review are summarized here for use in your decisionmaking and in discussions with patients. The full report, with references for included and excluded studies, is available at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov.
Clinical Bottom Line
Clinical Bottom Line
Comparative Evidence for 2DRT, 3DCRT, and IMRT
Tumor Control or Survival: There is insufficient evidence to determine if 2DRT, 3DCRT, or IMRT confers any advantages when compared to each other in terms of tumor control or survival.
Adverse Effects: IMRT is associated with a lower incidence of late xerostomia when compared to 3DCRT () or 2DRT (). There is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about the comparative effects of 2DRT, 3DCRT, or IMRT on adverse events other than late xerostomia.
Quality of Life: Patients who received IMRT had improved quality of life, with respect to late xerostomia, when compared with those who received 3DCRT () or 2DRT (). There is insufficient evidence to determine the comparative effects of IMRT, 3DCRT, and 2DRT on other quality-of-life measures.
Experience of Treatment Team: The data is insufficient to determine whether the experience of the clinical team confers an advantage, because no comparative studies addressed this issue.
Comparative Evidence for Proton Beam Therapy vs. 2DRT, 3DCRT, and IMRT
Across Outcomes: No comparative studies addressed the domains of tumor control, survival, adverse effects, quality of life, or experience of the treatment team. Therefore, the data are insufficient to permit any conclusions about proton beam therapy when compared to other radiotherapy modalities for head and neck cancer.
Confidence Scale
The confidence ratings in this guide are derived from a systematic review of the literature. The level of confidence is based on the overall quantity and quality of clinical evidence.
There are consistent results from good quality studies. Further research is very unlikely to change the conclusions.
Findings are supported, but further research could change the conclusions.
There are very few studies, or existing studies are flawed.
Gaps in Knowledge
- Because of insufficient evidence, high-quality studies are needed to determine the comparative effectiveness of IMRT, 3DCRT, 2DRT, and proton beam therapy:
- In achieving tumor control and improving patient survival.
- In reducing adverse events and improving quality-of-life.
- In understanding how outcomes are affected by the characteristics of the tumor, the patient, and the physician/radiotherapy team (e.g., experience), or by radiation treatment planning (e.g., target volume delineation, dosimetric parameters).
- Further research is needed to define the extent to which discrepancies between planned dose and the amount of radiation delivered to the tumor occur.
- Well-designed, multicenter, prospective observational studies—where randomized trials are not practical or advisable—would improve the usefulness and generalizability of the evidence.
- The body of evidence would be improved by studies that use standardized terminology, use valid and reliable outcome measures with blinded assessments, and assess quality-of-life and patient-reported outcomes with validated instruments.
- Research is needed to improve the management of xerostomia in patients with head and neck cancer and to better understand risk factors for xerostomia.
What To Discuss With Your Patients
- Whether critical normal structures are present in the field to be irradiated (e.g., salivary glands, pituitary gland, optic nerve) and the potential resulting adverse events.
- The potential benefits and the acute and late harms of the proposed radiation treatment for the individual patient—given the type, location, and stage of his or her cancer.
- The potential long-term adverse effects of radiation on quality of life—given the patient's individual lifestyle and values.
- The likely out-of-pocket expense to the patient for each type of radiation therapy, depending on the patient's insurance coverage.

I love my ring and i wouldn't change it for anything.....
I really like this ring its my favorite so far! Small and cute
Ring was shipped quickly, with great communication. I ordered a size 4.5 and the ring is a tiny bit bigger than that, but was still received greatly by whom I gave it to. A nice little ring indeed. This ring is nice for gifts but not for engagement or serious occasions like anniversaries.
I purchased this for myself, after my husband told me to pick what I wanted for Valentine's day and I love it! I got the pink gold/silver and it is very sweet and pretty looking. It is small, so may be not for everyone taste, but it is what I was looking for, not a big flashy stone, but something more elegant. Shipping was super fast and I would recommned this to others:)
My granddaughter loved this little ring. She was quite pleased with it.

Having heard Mühlfeld play Weber's Clarinet Concertino, Brahms asked him to play his entire repertoire for him and asked many questions about his instrument and its technique. Thus fired, he started composing again. Not only do the four works he wrote for Mühlfeld—the Clarinet Quintet and Trio of 1891 and the two Sonatas of 1894—rank among the supreme masterpieces of the instrument's repertoire, but they represent the purest distillation of Brahms's thought in the chamber music medium. They also reflect, in their innate expressive character, something of the personal isolation he was beginning to feel as many of his closest friends died off, in an increasingly frequent punctuation of his last years. When sheer beauty is evoked in them, it is as a consolation; nostalgia and melancholy often seem to underlie the most rhythmically assertive ideas. These works, in short, have established themselves as repertoire cornerstones not merely through their magnificent craftsmanship and powers of invention, but because they convey a particularly potent and complex nexus of feeling.
The Quintet and Trio, composed at the resort of Bad Ischl in the summer of 1891, received their first performances in Meiningen on 24 November that year, played by Mühlfeld. In the Quintet Joseph Joachim was first violin with members of the Court Orchestra. In the Trio Mühlfeld was joined by Robert Haussmann, the cellist of the Joachim String Quartet, and Brahms himself took the piano part. The Quintet was much the better received of the two, but Brahms several times declared that he personally preferred the Trio. When the Trio came to be published the following year, Brahms provided it with a viola part as an alternative to the clarinet. Such substitutions were not uncommon in the music of the time, though they may seem surprising to us today: performances of the Trio with viola have remained infrequent, and it is almost entirely associated in our minds with the timbre of the clarinet. (Even more surprising, Brahms also made an alternative viola part for the Quintet, turning it into the curious phenomenon of a string quartet with additional viola obbligato.) The viola seems less a natural leader in ensemble chamber music than the clarinet: its darker, huskier timbre does not stand out in such sharp relief from the other string instruments, but it imparts a greater intimacy which renders some passages more atmospheric and subtilizes the play of light and shade that is already part of the expressive essence of these works.
The music itself, of course, remains identical in its substance. Standing at the very end of his long line of concerted chamber music, the Trio in A minor, Op 114 embodies all the resource and subtlety of Brahms's late style. Its extreme compression of thought marks it as a natural successor to his C minor Piano Trio, Op 101, composed in 1886. It is remarkable for the consistency with which it exploits the disturbance, anxiety and shadow of the minor mode, and brief excursions into the major often turn out to offer illusory consolation.
Here the cello assumes almost equal importance with the viola, and indeed opens the proceedings unaccompanied, with an eloquent melody varied by the viola and balanced by a muttering triplet motif in the piano. These ideas make up the first subject of a troubled and concentrated sonata-form design. The second subject opens calmly in the relative major (C major) but soon mutates to a more troubled E minor. The terse, uneasy development evolves new thematic entities—a sombre chorale-like phrase, whispering pianissimo semiquaver scales against wide-spread piano chords—and the recapitulation flexibly reshapes the elements of the exposition, bypassing the opening melody to move straight into its more fretful rhythmic continuation. This time the second group starts in F major but veers into the tonic A minor. In the coda the 'chorale' idea returns with apparently fateful import, and though the music gains A major it proves curiously insubstantial: the music evanesces into the passionless beauty of an Aeolian harp, with semiquaver scales in liquid contrary motion on viola and cello.
A more serenely philosophical mood, tinged with fantasy, prevails in the D major Adagio, which packs much musical matter into a very small space; paradoxically, this masterly compression gives a feeling of expansive relaxation. Brahms's intricate elaboration of the smallest motifs, and the subtle oppositions of instrumental colour, yield textures and thematic working of unusual richness. The ensuing Andantino grazioso in A major is a self-mocking intermezzo, its nonchalant waltz-tune evoking the salon manner of Brahms's popular Liebeslieder waltzes, but now fluidly and sophisticatedly varied. Perhaps the movement reflects the fact that Brahms had spent time at Bad Ischl that summer in the company of his friend Johann Strauss the Younger, whose waltzes he admired with something close to envy. It evolves three closely related themes, touches D major for a brief trio section, and nonchalantly reduces the initial waltz melody into a schematic version of itself along the way.
Bracing and rhythmically supple, the minor-key finale exhibits the most strenuous music in the entire work, in a sonata-form transformation of Brahms's obsessive scherzo style. The combination of 6/8 and 2/4 metres intensifies the sense of unrest. The development, very concise, is notable for its rapid modulations, involving extended chains or ladders of descending thirds, which suggest mystery and instability even in the movement's most cheerful passages. The movement drives on towards its conclusion with no relaxation, until the coda's choleric bravura offers a terse, wintry gesture of dismissal.

'Sexually provocative' Dakota Fanning perfume ad banned in UK. Coty UK, the perfume's manufacturer insisted that the ad "did not show any private parts or sexual activity" and said it was "provoking, but not indecent." But the ASA ruled that Fanning "was holding up the perfume bottle... in her lap between her legs and we considered that its position was sexually provocative." In a statement, it said that while it accepted that Fanning was 17, "we considered she looked under the age of 16," and that her outfit and pose "drew attention to her sexuality." "Because of that... we considered the ad could be seen to sexualize a child. We therefore concluded that the ad was irresponsible and was likely to cause serious offense."

Brahms: motets
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55346
No 1: O bone Jesu
No 2: Adoramus te, Christe
The brief F major setting of 'O bone Jesu' consists of a pair of simultaneous canons in contrary motion between Soprano I/Alto II and Alto I/Soprano II. In addition to the Moderato espressivo heading, the closing bars are further marked espress[ivo] by Brahms, an instruction used comparatively rarely by this most restrained of late Romantic composers, and an illustration of his obvious concern that the sheer technical ingenuity of this music should not inhibit freedom of musical interpretation. 'Adoramus te, Christe' is a four-part canon, with answers at the fourth, fifth, and octave below. A harmonic sleight of hand just before the final cadences deftly moves the music up a step away from an implied finish in G, to the home key of A. The structural background to 'Regina caeli laetare' is a canon in inversion, although the contrapuntal textures are enlivened throughout by a series of antiphonal 'Alleluias', clearly reflecting the influence of Giovanni Gabrieli.

Like umbrella sales on a rainy day, OTAs do best when inclement conditions dampen the travel marketplace. But despite the countercyclical boost, the OTA segment as a whole skidded off its growth track for the first time in 2009. The decline was inconsistent across companies, however, and share shifts between the major players concentrated the loss to certain brands, while other brands managed to buck the trend.

The cruise industry is experiencing a modest but welcome recovery in 2010 after a brutal 2009.

Radhja is right. It does't require that much from gear but it does require something. 10 man is really /faceroll in my opinion. I solo healed it for over the last weeks now and and have tanked it in my feral DPS gear with litterly 4 items gemmed / enchanted for tanking, which gave me like 33k health buffed. It was a joke.
For the 25 man it gets a little more tricky. All the damage is increased so if your walking around with 17k health buffed your gonna get pwnd in the vortex or in phase 2 by the scions. However this is how you will deal with the damage. The dps requirements is really low compared with what you could do if you do the encounter exactly as your suposed to do.
For instance, we went to eoe25 3 weeks ago after we cleared ulduar early in the evening. We had 6 healers 3 tanks and loads of melee dps(so see that as a terrible setup). And we finished the fight in 6m and 34s while not even attemting to get a kill close to the 6 min.
EoE is about understanding the game mechanics and how to do a fight probably without making stupid mistakes.

Integrated control systems aren't just for distributing audio and video around the house or letting you watch your security cameras on your iPhone. A control system can also help you regulate the interior temperature of your home with energy management options that include motorized shades and smart thermostats.
Smart thermostats can be operated via many different control systems and allow you to program various day and night settings and even adjust the system parameters remotely. For instance, if you're coming home from a trip on a cold night, you can turn up the heat before you get home to allow the house to warm up. If you leave the house without turning down the heat, you can do that remotely via a simple app too.
Automated shades play a part in energy management as well by letting in or blocking natural light. The sun can help light or heat a room during the day, while at night motorized shades can close to help insulate the windows and keep some of that valuable heat inside. Motors for window coverings can be controlled with simple wireless controllers, smart phone apps or operate automatically with several available control systems.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
