Working at Craftsy definitely has its perks. One of which is getting to help create the great classes, and then TAKE them!
I've taken Craftsy classes on cake decorating, sewing, jewelry making, but as you can guess, my favorites are the online knitting classes.
My most recent adventure has been with Ragga Eiriksdottir, in her Top Down Icelandic Sweater class.
I'm planning to take the class again and make the sweater from kit along with my friend Grace (Craftsy's Acquisitions Editor for the Cake classes.) This time, for practice, I used yarn from my stash. I chose Green Mountain Spinnery Wonderfully Wooly in Natural Dark for the base, with Lichen for CC1. My CC2 is a bit of pink Imperial Stock Ranch worsted. Part of the yarn decision making process is finding a "sticky" yarn – one that will not come un-knit in the steeks. (You couldn't use a silky merino or alpaca, for example.)
The color work seems a bit tight, I think because I was trying to knit too few sts on too long a needle and the tension was wonky…but I was able to put the whole thing on scrap yarn and try it on. It's going to be A-ok!
I'll post updates as I have them!

Established partly in response to the long-feared French invasion and partly to quell unrest at home, the yeomanry were increasingly used by the authorities to intervene on the side of employers in disputes and riots.

Donut's Club
To develop a takeaway packaging for Donut's Club Cafe. The packaging should form positive attitude towards the brand and keep pleasant experience after visiting the cafe.
To create on the package a fabulous magical world worth seeing even after consumption of the product.
There was only one limitation given by the client — no heroes or any other characters on the package. Therefore donuts became the basis of the landscape, small details were made of glaze, flouring and sugar powder. The moments of overflowing of one object to another became almost elusive in this complicated space, so it's interesting to consider the package in the details.
Bright and attractive package which works for customer loyalty to the products of the cafe. 2014 Branding, Illustration, Packaging

November 28, 2014
It's official. Gov. Scott McCallum has signed the budget repair bill into law.
To plug a billion dollar hole, the measure largely uses proceeds from the state's tobacco settlement.
After months of debate, the state finally has a balanced budget for the fiscal year that's underway.
With the stroke of a pen, Gov. McCallum made it official. The measure takes some $800-million in tobacco settlement proceeds to make up the difference.
It also leads to across the board cuts to state agencies, including a $44-million reduction in spending for the University system.
A controversial Campaign finance reform initiative is part of the package, but critics don't think it will work.
The governor says while this repair measure isn't perfect, it does the job.
"You've got to make some tough decisions for the state to move forwards, to make a stronger economy in the future," said Gov. Scott McCallum, (R) Wisconsin.
"One of the problems in this budgets ... delays ... delays all along," said Rep. Spencer Black, (D) Minority Leader.
The governor also wants to call the Legislature into Special Session. He'd like law-makers to create a protected rainy day savings account to guard against future deficits.
Of course, this bill will also be remembered for what's not in it, the governor vetoing a number of policy items including a provision that would have allowed the city of Madison to annex the Town of Madison.

Literacy has long been an important part of Estevan Diversified Services' (EDS) programming.
But in the last three years, the agency has ramped up its literacy efforts significantly. A resource centre has been added, which has enhanced the quality of life for EDS's participants.
The resource centre and the literacy initiatives have now earned EDS executive director Carol Cundall a provincial honour.
Cundall was presented with the Professional Leadership in Literacy Award, at the Saskatchewan Literacy Awards of Merit on April 23. She was nominated by the EDS board chair, but Cundall said her honour is truly a team effort, since the EDS board and staff are strong proponents of literacy, and have backed the resource room initiative.
"Literacy is for everyone, and sometimes I feel that our participant population – adults with intellectual disabilities – gets left on the wayside," Cundall told Lifestyles. "And the reality is that literacy is more than learning to read, write and spell proficiently."
It's learning to enjoy numbers and stories, she said. There's a numeracy component, along with social and safety literacy. And literacy can help people become knowledgeable about essential skills.
"We believe, as an agency, that literacy is all of those things, and that everyone can achieve some kind of literacy, if given the opportunities and exposure," said Cundall.
EDS partnered with the Estevan Area Literacy Group and the Estevan Public Library to formulate the now award-winning program, Cundall said.
"What we first recognized in our participants is there wasn't a literacy tool that worked well to diagnose what your literacy level was," said Cundall. "So we adapted one that's predominantly used for newcomers, and it seemed to work really well for our client population."
EDS took the time to understand how each participant learned, she said, so they could find the best way to assist their clients. The resource centre supervisor, program coordinators and individuals met to discuss short-term and long-term goals.
It's a different approach that has worked out well.
"It's on the needs of the individual, so not everyone's program is the same," said Cundall. "For example, once a week, a woman comes in to talk about what is happening in Estevan in the news. That's huge."
Someone else will come in and talk to other participants about sports, and guide them through sports magazines. Another individual encouraged participants to get a library card, and now so many EDS participants feel comfortable in the library.
"I think those are things that we take for granted," said Cundall. "The first time a couple of our individuals got their library card, they were so in awe that they now had a whole new world: videos, movies and magazines that they can take out."
The resource centre was an unused area of the EDS building for some time; Cundall compared it to an empty drawer in a cupboard at a house.
"To see this empty room always bothered me, and I had an idea that we could do more with it," said Cundall. "So our first step was to plan the room, and then to acquire some of the things you need.
"You have to make it comfortable. It should be professional. I didn't want this to look like hand-me downs. We wanted this to be an adult room where adults come to learn. So we purchased computers, we did magazine subscriptions, we have newspapers.
"We have everything in there now to get someone going. The big key was to find the diagnostics, to find the learners, to find the books that are at a younger level, but are classic books."
One participant's first book was Robinson Crusoe, she said. He loved to talk about the story after reading it. Then he went to the library, and checked out a book about a rescue dog's heroic story following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City.
Another participant, Darwin Styre, won the the Life Skills Enhancement Award from the Saskatchewan Association of Rehab Councils last year, thanks in part to the literacy skills that he picked up from the resource centre.
All 52 EDS participants have been involved in the literacy program in same way, although if a participant has full-time work in the community, EDS won't take them away from their job to have them into the program.
The literary resource program has had other benefits. Cundall warmly recalls when one participant made a phone call to his mother for the first time. When he heard his mother's voice over the phone, it was very empowering, Cundall said.
"That same individual now has an e-mail address, here at work, that we can assist him with, and he can e-mail family outside the province," said Cundall. "It's a way of keeping in touch so that you're not isolated."
EDS is going to see the literacy program through, Cundall said. They will continue to update their technology, and offer the latest reading materials. They have purchased a smart board to assist communications with those who can't talk.
"It's sustainable because this, to us, is a key area," said Cundall. "This is where we want to head with more individualized programming and more essential skills, because it's that knowledge you take with you and grow."
Cundall said the literacy honour is a reward for all of the work that everyone at the EDS has put into the program.
The Saskatchewan Literacy Awards of Merit recognize the outstanding contributions by Saskatchewan citizens, organizations, and businesses to improve and develop literacy and essential skills in the province.
Awards were also handed out for workplace training initiatives, outstanding literacy projects, volunteer services and learning efforts. Cundall noted that Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Schofield attended the awards event, that the awards night was wonderful, and that most of the recipients were volunteers.

Cyclodextrin cavities have been grafted into a layered metal hydroxide to create hydrophobic nanopockets within the galleries of the inorganic solid. Neutral ferrocene molecules can be included within the grafted cavities by partitioning from a polar solvent to generate a new organometallic−organic−inorganic hybrid. The included ferrocene has been characterized by electronic and Raman spectroscopy. The capability of the cyclodextrin-functionalized solid to separate hydrophobic and hydrophilic derivatives of ferrocene is demonstrated.

20 June 2012
When he first gave it a try, he could not throw for more than 12 minutes without his back cramping up and on one dark day, he even lobbed a lineout ball straight into the opposition scrum half's hands.
But Tom Youngs, who made his first start in an England shirt this week against a South African Barbarians side, has now reached a defining waypoint in what is a remarkable rugby journey. He has gone from a cannonball centre for the Leicester Tigers to a bruising international hooker and fully paid-up member of the throw-in club.
The process of transforming Ben Youngs' big brother into a No.2 was, fittingly, initiated by current Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer in the 2006/07 season and RFU.com chatted to Youngs senior on England's tour to South Africa to find out how it happened.
Photo: Getty Images
Back in 2006, Meyer approached Tom after a second team game and suggested a switch to the front row; after some discussion with his family – his father is a former England international scrum half – the 25-year-old jumped at the chance to test himself in the combative environment of the front row.
"I knew straightaway it was something I wanted to do," he said. "I've always been interested in the physicality of the game and in the scrums it's been Coley [England and Leicester Tigers tighthead Dan Cole] in there all the time when we were younger.
"I didn't play for about three months, I went into the gym and bulked up a bit and worked on my fitness as you need a different kind of engine. Then I was meant to go on loan to North Walsham, my local rugby club, just to start off at a very low level, but Nottingham were short of hookers, so I got called in there."
Though built like the proverbial out-house, Youngs was certainly thrown in at the deep end. But as anyone who has seen him on a rugby field will testify, he's got the fight to keep his head above choppy water.
As RFU specialist hooking coach Simon Hardy testifies, Youngs, of Norfolk farming stock, had the immense strength to make himself a natural scrummager and relishes being in the heat of the battle. But having the rhythm, accuracy and dexterity required to hit his jumpers at the line out, that was a different matter.
Youngs picks up the story: "The throwing was horrendous, I was terrible and it was a lottery at times. It took a lot of hard work and a long time. Not only to get the technique, but to get my own personal technique, you watch other people throwing and that would not necessarily suit me.
"I had to find my own way and I always tell the story of the time I threw the ball and it landed in the opposition scrum half's hands. But I stuck at it and it slowly got better.
Hardy, a former Saracens and London Wasps hooker, has been working with Youngs for more than two years on weekly throwing sessions and says his pupil has endured some difficult moments to develop the physiology and mentality required.
Youngs first had to work hard on his flexibility, but in parallel, the touchline can be a lonely place in a team game and keeping calm when you are just feet from the crowd is a singular challenge, as Hardy explained.
"I guess it took him 18 months to get the basics of throwing, he was incredibly inflexible when we started and there's a fitness guy at Leicester Tigers called Crippsy [Dave Cripps] who I spent a lot of time with, getting Tom to get more flexible in his shoulders," he said.
"Once that happened he had to learn how to develop his hands, but at his initial sessions he could not throw for more than 12 minutes without fatigue setting into his trapezius and we had to stop.
"We started off purely on the techniques of throwing, then we developed that to the physical aspects and his final finishing school stage is the emotional and psychological sides.
"So, how will he deal with the emotional side of pressure, in terms of standing in front of 75,000 people against Saracens at Wembley and then the psychological aspects of visualisation of throws."
Youngs made his first senior start for England in the 57-31 midweek victory over the South Africa Northern Barbarians, displaying the solidity in the line out and power in the loose which led Hardy to believe he can go all the way and join his brother in the Test team.
The hooker admits his development has been racked with troubling times, but you sense that overcoming those obstacles has made him tougher on the pitch and more relaxed off it.
He added: "There have been some very darks days but in the back of your head you know it is for a good reason, you know you've got to go out and do it. But it's helped me a lot, going through those makes you a better player and a better person."
And the final note of congratulation: an e-mail to Youngs from the man who started it, Heyneke Meyer, when he was selected for England's tour. It wished him every success in the future, but given Lancaster's assertion that "when Youngs hits rucks, they stay hit and when he carries, he carries hard", you would presume the one time mentor hopes that Test bow doesn't arrive before England leave South Africa this summer.

Time has really been flying recently. Before I know it, it's been a week since I've updated my food blog. Eeeeep! No bueno. I need to get back on my schedule and keep things organized. It's hectic since I left my job last week, have been getting ready to move out, and started figuring out my finances until then. I've also been addicted to getting furniture on Craigslist for the past couple of weeks. I scored a sweet counter-style dining table with four chairs for only 75 bucks!
This chocolate cupcake comes from foodess and they were alright to me. The texture was great, but the taste was stale. The coffee supposedly brings out the chocolate flavor, but I really think these could have benefitted from using a chocolate bar or some real melted chocolate chips mixed in. The cocoa powder just wasn't enough. Don't worry though, you definitely don't taste any of the coffee! If you're looking for a chocolate cake recipe, I'd recommend this one. It still stands to be my favorite.
Don't forget: one more week until the giveaway ends!
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot coffee (or 2 tsp instant coffee in 1 cup boiling water, or simply 1 cup boiling water)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cupcakes with liners.
- Mix together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add in the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually stir in hot coffee.
- Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
- Cool completely and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar (or frosting).

Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, once viewed as a rising star in the GOP, and his wife were indicted Tuesday on federal corruption charges accusing the couple of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in loans, shopping sprees, money for their daughter's wedding -- and even a joyride in a Ferrari -- from the owner of a company that makes health supplements.
The 14-count indictment portrays the former governor as deeply entrenched in credit card debt even before he took office and willing to accept lavish gifts from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams, who hoped the first couple's endorsement for his products would yield big profits for his company.
McDonnell appeared Tuesday night at a hastily called news conference in Richmond to strongly deny any wrongdoing and denounce what he said was an "unjust overreach" by federal prosecutors.
"I did nothing illegal for Mr. Williams in exchange for what I believed was his personal friendship and his generosity," said McDonnell, who was flanked by his wife, daughter and son-in-law as he read from prepared remarks.
McDonnell vowed to "use every available resource and advocate" to fight the charges.
While still in office, the governor apologized for accepting the gifts and repaid thousands to Williams. Limited to a single term by state law, McDonnell left the executive mansion earlier this month in disgrace, his approval numbers low and his political future in tatters.
At one time, McDonnell had been considered a possible running mate for Mitt Romney, and the governor's seat has opened the door to higher office since Thomas Jefferson held the post from 1779 to 1781. McDonnell delivered the 2010 Republican response to the State of the Union Address, and became chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2011.
Twelve of the counts are punishable by up to 20 years in prison each, and two are punishable by up to 30 years. Fines can range from $250,000 to $1 million.
McDonnell's attorneys filed a strongly worded motion Tuesday evening seeking the instructions that were given to the grand jury and recordings of prosecutors' statements to the grand jury about the legal validity of the charges. The motion says the government's case is "built largely from immunized testimony purchased with under-the-table promises to a key witness who would otherwise face criminal liability and massive financial penalties."
It continues: "The federal government's decision to use these deceitful tactics in order to prosecute a popular and successful Republican Governor immediately upon leaving office is disgraceful, violates basic principles of justice, and is contemptuous of the citizens of Virginia who elected him."
The 43-page indictment portrays a cozy relationship between the McDonnells and Williams that began even before he took office, with many of their interactions initiated by Maureen McDonnell. In 2009, just before the governor's inauguration, first lady Maureen McDonnell wrote to a senior staffer for her husband: "I need answers and Bob is screaming about the thousands I'm charging up in credit card debt. We are broke, have an unconscionable amount in credit card debt already, and this inaugural is killing us!"
Even before they took up residence in the governor's mansion, Williams was offering the family money. He was known as a donor who allowed the McDonnells use of his private jet on the campaign trail. In December, he was willing to pay for an Oscar de la Renta dress that the cash-strapped first lady could wear to the inauguration. Although she was the one who asked for the dress, she later refused the offer at the staffer's urging. But the partnership between Williams and the McDonnells was already underway.
However, the indictment says Maureen McDonnell cut a deal with Williams about two years later: if he bought her dresses and accessories for her daughter's wedding and the couple's anniversary, she would make sure he had a prime seat next to her husband at a political event in New York City.
Williams paid her nearly $20,000 tab at stores like Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton, the indictment says. As promised, Williams was seated next to the governor at the event on April 13, 2011.
The indictment also details a $50,000 loan Williams made to the McDonnells in May 2011, along with $15,000 for their daughter's wedding. The money was later used to pay for catering costs for the wedding, as well as payments totaling nearly $20,000 for the family's credit cards.
Then, in June, Star Scientific began jockeying for grant money that could be used for researching the potential health benefits of one of its products, Anatabloc. The grants could not be given to for-profit entities; but Star Scientific was financially strapped, so company officials began reaching out to state research universities, asking them to apply for the grants to conduct the research. And the company held up two of the state's most visible figures in asking the universities to do its bidding: the governor and his wife, who supported researching the company's products.

Ever wanted your own jet fighter? Perhaps a life-sized cardboard cockpit with enough space for your gaming chair and rig is the next best thing.
Forget Pokemon. Two battle-hardened goldfish are vying for bragging rights by taking each other on in Street Fighter.
We never thought we'd be writing this, but apparently there are two fish playing Street Fighter 2, and it's live-streaming on Twitch right now. This is not a drill. Goldfish are, in fact, playing a video game (with the help of some clever programming).
On today's show, Ashley and Khail check out how NASA might use tiny robot swarms to search for resources on other planets, watch two goldfish play Street Fighter 2, and discuss an art installation consisting of a shotgun re-imagined into a flute.
The director offers a peek at the X-wing fighter from the set of "Star Wars Episode VII" to promote the Force for Change campaign that raises money for UNICEF.
An engine fire three weeks ago has grounded the expensive new fighter jet. US military officials still hope the jet can make a last-minute appearance at the prestigious UK airshow, though.
One of Charles Bombardier's many wild concept vehicle designs, the Arrow, could be powered by lithium-air batteries with a range of over 370 miles.
Wipe away the memories of that awful 1994 "Street Fighter" movie with a live-action Web series that punches and powers its way into your gaming heart.
Using a custom rig that includes three projectors, this gamer has transformed his gaming space into a full-sized cockpit for Elite: Dangerous.
Albert Ball was a World War 1 fighter pilot -- one of the best -- and he also loved his Morgan Three Wheeler. We take at look at his life in the latest Morgan Three Wheeler.

The Canadian Press cited an anonymous source Wednesday night as saying the 53-year-old MacLean had been fired. He is the only president-GM the team has had.
``I'm aware of those reports, but we have nothing to say about them tonight,'' Blue Jackets spokesman Todd Sharrock told The Associated Press.
CP reported MacLean was relieved of his duties after the Blue Jackets stumbled to a 33-42-7 record, 11th in the Western Conference. The Blue Jackets are the only franchise to never make the playoffs, and have endured six straight losing seasons.
Before his time in Columbus, he served as head coach of the Florida Panthers team that made an improbable run to the Stanley Cup finals in 1996, where they were swept by Colorado.

U/11 BISAC Track and Field Championships
Primary Athletes conclude a memorable year of BISAC competition with victory in the under 11 Boys and Girls Track and Field Championships
On Saturday 16th May our six boy and seven girl Under 11 athletes would have been relieved to look out in the morning to see clear skies and confirmation of their big day on the track at ISB. Our youngest competitors started their events in confident mood with the first track events over 60m leaving Peachy Ellis with a Silver Medal for the girls and David Gist a Silver and Hein Htet MacArthur the Bronze over the two heats for the boys. Over in the field events the Long Jump had started with Ross Nicholson taking the Gold for BISAC schools for the boys and Molly Frain claiming the Silver and Angelina Siddons who is still only in Year 5 taking a well deserved Bronze for the girls.
Next on the track were our 600m runners where Emilia Caule ran a great race to take Gold with a strong 4th from Pann Maleenont for the girls while Ross also ran a fine race to also win Gold with David securing the Bronze for the boys. Back to the field events where the High Jump was in full spring with David winning the Gold with a P.B. jump of 1.37m and Peachy retaining her BISAC crown with a jump of 1.35m.
On the track our 200m runners were also climbing the podium with Peachy claiming the Silver and Ellen Hagelauer the Bronze over the two heats and Hien Htet the Silver with a good run from our other Year 5 student Taran Muthukumaran. The final event on the field left Katie Lawrence-Smith with Gold in the Baseball throw and Basketball Push Pass with Molly the Bronze in the Baseball throw.
In between rain, the 60m shuttle relays got underway with the girls taking a commanding lead before the batton was unfortunately dropped but the boys held onto theirs to take a deserved Gold. For the boys Gene Ratanadaros and Fionn Baily certainly played their part in a strong team effort.
As the results were announced I was delighted to hear that both the boys and girls had won the Under 11 BISAC competitions with great performance from our Under 13 and 15 teams also.
The Track and Field events brought the BISAC season to a close for our Primary athletes and I am delighted and very proud to share our overall performances for the year.

A tremendous set of results from a large group of very talented young Patana Tigers. Year 4 and 5 you will certainly have a very exciting challenge on your hands for next year!
A huge thank you to all of the students who have attended our ECA training sessions for any of the above sports as the competition for places has been tough throughout the year. Also to all of the coaches without whom we would be unable to play at all and finally to our parents who support what we do so positively.
Last but not the least we look forward to our KS2 Inter Class Football during the week beginning Monday 9th July and finally the much anticipated Primary FOBISSEA Games in KL, Malaysia.
Stay focused children the year is not yet done!

In the early years of Fender, the Telecaster® quickly became an everyman's guitar because of its versatile sound, ease of playing and reasonable cost. The Classic Vibe Telecaster '50s in Butterscotch Blonde delivers on that original promise. Features include a gorgeous new Butterscotch Blonde finish on a pine body, and a vintage-tint gloss fast-action maple neck with 21 medium-jumbo frets and modern 9.5" Fingerboard radius. Setting this guitar apart from its Classic Vibe Telecaster '50s Vintage Blonde brother is a custom set of alnico 5 single-coil pickups that provide warmth and clarity and enough punch for country, blues, rock and jazz.

I have had my Classic Vibe butterscotch blonde Tele for about 4 months now. Out of the box it looked great and played pretty well. Took it to a luthier and had it set up. 2nd fret was a little high and the neck needed a small adjustment. Now it punches way above its weight. Plays like an instrument I could have paid several hundred $ more for. My advice would be, whatever guitar you buy, get it set up properly by a professional. Bought my 8-yr-old daughter an Affinity Strat. Also had it set up professionally and now it also plays like a guitar I could have paid a lot more for. Great value for money!

This is my second Fender. My first one is a MIM strat with DiMarzio Areas/Super Lead upgrades and that plays like a charm. I bought this one because I was after a cheap tele. I knew what I was buying. I read all the reviews, I saw all the youtube videos, but was I in for a surprise. This guitar does everything. From smooth and mellow slightly phased jazzy clean tones on neck pickup to uber gnarl and djent on both AND ON SINGLE BRIDGE PICKUP TOO!!! I have no idea how they've managed it, but the default pickups are just awesome. I just wish my strat was this good. The neck is smooth and shiny with jumbo frets and ultra-low action. Near to effortless playing. Interestingly, the guitar came with .10 strings which I favour, and they suit it perfectly. The '50s butterscotch yellow design is simple and yet timeless and gives this guitar a warm and nostalgic feel. Finally, the value for money is just unbelievable.

I received my '50s Classic Vibe yesterday. I was amazed at the build quality, it compares favourably with my US Standards, US vintage Teles and of course my Mexican made Teles..
It is the heaviest Tele that I have in my collection. The sound is very, very good. Possibly at a later stage I might change the PU's.
I might just go a purchase a Classic Vibe Custom as well.
For guitarists at all levels, this is an excellent guitar (and not just for the price). The days that 'Made in China' meant rubbish are long gone. The same as 'Made in Mexico', where excellent Fenders are built.
My advise is try the Classic Vibe series before its Mexican cousins which are twice the price.
I bought this guitar because of the reviews I read and I figured if it was a piece of crap I'd be out of less money. However, this axe is outstanding and so is the '50s Vibe bass guitar which I also bought due to price and reviews and less risk if it to turned out to be a piece of crap. Both guitars stay in tune and sound outstanding thru my Marshall, Twin Reverb and Trace Elliot amps. I wholeheartedly recommend both these axes. However, remember, just cause I got 2 outstanding guitars doesn't mean you will to.

I love the look, the feel and the sound! It's an amazing guitar, looks just like Springsteens and or Keith Richard's ! It plays well and easy! Super smooth! Switches and knobs are easy to manipulate and the sound and tone is exactly what I want for the style of music I like to play. The color is awesome!
Dean Stewart owns this item
This is a great guitar. The workmanship is excelent. No sharp fret edges, and lovely maple neck.
zokig owns this item
The name Classic Vibe is a perfect fit. It has the looks of a Blackguard Tele. I have had many Teles and this may be the best one. I recently set up a vintage 1960 Tele for a friend and I couldn't get it to play any better than the CV. The CV has a flatter radius so it is easier to get a lower action. However, it didn't sound quite as good as the '60, but comes close enough considering the price of the CV. The stock pickups sound very good though. The real alnico magnets give it a true vintage sound. I've had mine for about two years and it's starting to age a bit and developing its own character. The vintage tint of the neck when new looked a bit orange, but seems to have ambered some with age. The pinewood finish resembles ash and has a very resonate sound. The finish doesn't appear to be too thick so it may contribute to the resonance. It weighs about 7 1/2 lbs so it's heavy enough to feel like your playing something without it actually being too heavy. Some reviewers say their examples are heavy so I guess the weight varies, just be aware that pine will dent more easily. The tuners are the vintage type with the split shaft, which are one of my favorites. Just cut the string to length, insert into the hole in center of the string post and tune. No sharp string end will be sticking out. They even used a vintage style string tree which was a nice little touch. I also own a Classic Vibe Tele Custom and two CV '50s Strats, which are all nice guitars. I own a lot of high end guitars for investment purposes but with this quality and for the price you could spend a lot more for little to no benefit, maybe only for bragging rights.
I own this guitar for 2 months after a friend had bought one... He told me how close it was to a custom shop one...
I was sceptic about his review until tried one in a store... I owned alreday an american special one... Could you believed it? I solded the American special and bought the Squier and wow, this was a really good move!! I have a more attractive looking guitar ( this thing is the most beautiful instrument I've ever had!) and got a 400$ extra in my pocket to buy whisky and beers. The neck of this instrument is a dream... The only thing I had to get used to it is the pickups tone... much tiner than my previous american special but once plugged in my really good Princeton reverb reissue, i started to get tones I'd always dreamed of... In fact, this baby is more value than a american vintage Jaguar, I tried those back to back and prefers the vibe and playability of the Squier Tele classic vibe... wow, amazing job by chinese people!!

I will admit, I don't own this guitar. However, I have been able to play several times, and I must say, it beat every other tele I've ever played. The tone is rich and beautiful, and the finish is my type of style. The guitar sounds good for all types of music, from blues to rock to country. The pick ups were surprisingly good. I would recommend this guitar to anyone, and I hope to own it myself someday.
I got this guitar after a 12 year break from playing. I was amazed that a budget guitar could be that good - no where near the budget guitars I saw in the 90's. I bought it just to have a cheap guitar laying around and play in my spare time, but ended up recording an entire album with this guitar.
Lofven owns this item
This is an outstanding instrument for no money at all basicly. Im just in awe and blown away by this guitar.. It looks, sounds, feels and plays just perfect. I've neen looking for a tele for my collection of guitars and i've tried and played several american made, been trying the new american vintage '52 but i gotta say that this SQUIER suits my tastes better. I never thought that i would ever buy a squier.. And fall in love with it!
I just cant believe how good this guitar acctually is. Completly changed my view of squier as a brand.
Get it!!
Zorlac owns this item
What a great guitar this is. I paid approx. $350.00. Worth more than that frankly. The fit and finish are great. I really like the glossy finish on the neck. Great sound and tone from the pick ups. The neck is great and the fret work is very good. I had it professionally set up like I do all my guitars. I feel like the frets are a little on the soft side due to the wear I see after approximately a year. This is a great value!
Iowacarver owns this item
This CV BSB is absolutely a great guitar. It amazes me how well it plays and sounds at a value that is unbeatable. I purchased in Guitar Center downtown Boston when I went there on business. I wanted a memento of a productive week of research at the JFK Library. This guitar has turned out to be much more than that. It's a guitar that will get heavy use in my Fender heavy stable. I A/B'd the guitar with a Fender 52 AVRI, and sorry, but the Squier actually won hands down in every way, perhaps except for the general appearance, which is a bit extra glossy for my tastes. But for the sound of the pickups and the feel of the neck,I was stunned. No one should shy away from this instrument just because it doesn't have the full fledged Fender name on the headstock. I love this guitar.
ikejose owns this item
In terms of playability and attention to detail this is the best tele I have played, including many more expensive ones (as well as - in my opinion the 60s classic vibe). In terms of tone, the bridge pickup is just shy of perfect, while the neck pickup is simply beautiful!
I bought it at Manson's guitar shop, and it was beautifully set up by the techs. It tunes beautifully, though the tuners are a bit fast - I guess this is due to them being made to resemble the original ones.
The finish is what it is supposed to be - a vintage reissue - but thankfully it is not called a reissue, or I would not be able to afford it. I have to say it is a fascinating guitar - the one piece body just resonates. My one gripe is that the finish had come of at the edge, but I must have dinged it unawares.

Honeycomb Hat
This honeycomb is a simple cable pattern that is great for beginning cable knitters. You can vary this pattern with different rib stitches -- just make sure the gauge is the same as or tighter than the cable pattern. For another variation, add additional knit rows to the honeycomb pattern to increase the size of cable cell.
Yarn: 3 ounces (85 grams) 185 yards, worsted weight. The example was done with Naturally Caron Country Yarn (Color: Vicuna).
Circular Needles, Size 7 US (4.5 mm), 16" long (for ribbing).
Circular Needles, Size 9 US (5.5 mm), 16" long (for hat body).
I highly recommend Addi Turbo Knitting Needles.
Double pointed needles, size 9 US, 5.5 mm. I recommend 7 Inch Clover Takumi Bamboo Premium Double Point Knitting Needles
Cable needle or double pointed needle to hold cable stitches. I prefer using a double pointed wood or plastic needle for my cable stitches.
Stitch markers. I prefer flat, soft stitch markers like Soft Stitch Ring Markers - 30/Pkg because they don't break or get tangled up in the yarn.
Stitch Information
Gauge in honeycomb pattern using size 9 needles: 20 st = 3 in (7.5 cm)
Finished measurements: Hat body about 20" (25cm) in circumference. 8" (20cm) from cast-on edge to crown.
View a demo of the cable stitch
Increase or decrease in multiples of 8. You will need to adjust the decrease for your total number of stitches.
- C4F - Cable four front. Slip two stitches from left needle onto cable needle or dp needle. Move cable needle to front of work. Knit next two stitches from left needle. Then knit the two stitches off the cable needle.
- C4B - Cable four back. Slip two stitches from left needle onto cable needle or dp needle. Move cable needle to back of work. Knit next two stitches from left needle. Then knit the two stitches off the cable needle.
- K2tog - Knit two stitches together.
Seed Stitch Rib:
Cast on 137 stitches with size 7 circular needles. I recommend putting stitch markers every 24 stitches to help keep track of the pattern.
Round 1: *k3, p1, rep from * to end. (First round of hat only: Slip first stitch. Follow pattern to last stitch. Purl last stitch with slipped first stitch, being careful not to twist the row. This will close the round and decrease one stitch. 136 st. Place marker.)
Round 2: p1, *k1, p3, rep from * to last 3 stitches, k1 p2.
Repeat Rounds 1-2 until you have 14 rounds.
Variation: You can substitute other rib stitches but I found the cable pattern is tighter than many rib patterns (including 1x1) so if the gauge of the rib isn't as tight or tighter than the cable, knit the rib with smaller needles or reduce the number of stitches in the rib and put in an increase row. Do a swatch!
Switch to size 9 circular needles.Round 1: *C4F, C4B, rep from * to end.
Rounds 2, 3, 4: Knit.
Round 5: *C4B, C4F, rep from * to end.
Rounds 6, 7, 8: Knit.
Repeat rounds 1-8 until hat measures about 6" from cast on row. End on row 5.
In the Loop Tip for Measuring HatsLeave your measuring tape at home!
Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks advises that you can measure the height of the hat from cast on edge to the start of decrease by using the length of your hand (or the hand of the hat wearer) from the bottom edge of the palm to the tip of your middle finger. This is just one of the great tips I use daily from this great book.
Switch to double pointed needles (or continue with the circular needle as far as you comfortably can -- for me until about round 6 -- and then switch).
Round 1: *K6, K2tog. (119 st)
Round 2: Knit.
Round 3: *K5, K2tog. (102 st)
Round 4: Knit.
Round 5: *K4, K2tog. (85 st)
Round 6: Knit.
Round 7: *K3, K2tog. (68 st)
Round 8: Knit.
Round 9: *K2, K2tog. (51 st)
Round 10: Knit.
Round 11: *K2, K2tog. (34 st)
Round 12: Knit.
Round 13: *K2tog. (17 st)
Cut the yarn leaving about 6" tail. Using a tapestry needle, thread the tail through the remaining stitches. Pull stitches together tightly. Thread tail through hole in crown. Draw crown closed securely by pulling tail. Weave the tail and all other ends through stitches on wrong side.

Taking the Fight to al-Qaeda?
Security services seem to believe that many of these men are in Marib, which makes the rumors of possible US strikes on al-Qaeda targets in Yemen worrisome. For the record although I think the rumors are only rumors I also believe that such a policy would be disastrous.
According to Mareb Press five of the individuals on the list of the 12 suspects that Yemen released on Thursday are preparing attacks in the near future.
There will of course be much more on Sada al-Malahim in the coming days, but at the moment I'm desperately far behind on meeting a deadline (what's new?).

text: Compelling work by this Chicago combo – a really unique ensemble led by a trombonist with a wide range of skills! Big James claims James Brown as a big inspiration, but he also came of age in the Chicago blues scene – which is where his horn-heavy combo has mostly found a home, playing their own Windy City variant of rootsy funk! There's definitely a blues bent to the music, but the sound is quite different than most other contemporary groups on the scene, too – not just because James' trombone is firmly in the lead, but also because the group have a great ear for strong funk and deep soul roots too. Titles include a cover of the P-Funk gem "Qualified 2 Satisfy" – plus original tunes "Da Coldest Man I Ever Knew", "Low Down Dirty Blues", "Never Loved Any 1 Like U", "A Happy Fool", and "Da Best Love I Never Had". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.
