This may be one of the most stressful weeks of the semester for every college student. Freshman have their first Finals Week fast approaching, Sophomores and Juniors are writing term papers and gathering study materials for their own finals and many Seniors are wrapping up their Senior Capstone projects. To put it simply, everyone is stressed. Luckily strength in numbers comes into effect and having a group of people stressing together, is almost a calming sensation. Study groups are formed for every class and there is almost a dead silence on every floor of the library so people can study to their best potential. Professors are even stressed. Once the student's stresses have cleared, the professors have the glory of grading everything. Being in the English Department office is always interesting this time of year. The coffee makes even looks worn down by the end of the semester. Walking into buildings and seeing professors in their offices at 8 or 9 at night only shows their true dedication to the students. The best is when they are just as sleep deprived as we are from all the papers.
It's weeks like this that we all support each other the most. Currently, we are all looking forward to Late Night Breakfast happening next Monday in Glar. During which, Glar opens from 9-11pm for one night during Finals and has all sorts of breakfast food. It's completely free to the students and sometimes, professors will offer to help out and be the ones serving the food. It's great to know that you aren't the only one craving pancakes at 10 o'clock at night. Keeping our sanity is something we all strive to do in these last few weeks of the semester. Thanks to my 6 week Winter Break this year, I'll be very well rested for the Spring semester. As much as I loved my classes this semester, I will be doing a little happy dance after my last final on Thursday afternoon before I bolt home to hang out with my best friend. Studying now will be cause for celebration when it's all over.
Looking ahead to next semester is both intimidating and exciting. I've worked my schedule so I have some interesting classes, even if they aren't in my field of study. However, the fact that i am taking a science class is very nerve racking because it is not one of my strong suits and I have no friends (that I know of) that are taking the class with me. Maybe it will surprise me. Maybe I will absolutely love it and look forward to going to class every day. It will be interesting to see how everything turns out. I do know though that all the Christmas money I get will be going towards books. When I added 5 classes to my schedule, I wasn't thinking about the number of books I would have to buy. These better be some great classes. I have a feeling next semester, while challenging, will be one of the best. Now I have officially taken a long study break than I had planned so I am off to the library once again! See you at the end of the tunnel.

Jerusalem Buffet
- sasgirl May 7, 2010 09:55 AM
Has anyone been to the Jerusalem restaurant on Leslie Street which has the buffet? If you have, how is the food? I did a search on here and couldn't find any reviews for that location.
I'm going tomorrow evening with family to celebrate Mother's Day. They also have a belly dancing show as well.
am also interested to find out, I've always wanted to try it. I've heard from friends that have been there say it was good food. Nice variety, if a little pricey.
Never had the buffet, but the restaurant is very loud especially when the belly dancing show starts and always packed. Their regular menu is very good though. Same menu without the buffet at the Eglinton West location (slightly lower prices too) and a much quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.
re: nuts4food
It has been a couple of years since I last tried the buffet, but I recall it being so dreary that night that I never went back. The cold dishes were better than the hot, and the cold were underwhelming to start. The Eglinton Ave. location, which doesn't do a buffet, is much, much superior (a more demanding clientele, I suspect). Maybe the Leslie St. location will improve the quality a notch or two for Mother's Day, and that will save the day - and if it doesn't, it's possible the belly-dancing will save the day instead. All you can ask of a buffet is that it be at least acceptable.
Incidentally, I'm positive the Leslie St. location has been reviewed on this board in the past and, if I recall, it got somewhat trashed. But that was a while back. Do another search and perhaps you'll come across the old thread. But don't take it as gospel. Buffets can blow hot and cold. It was certainly cold the night I went.
I have been there several times. The hot food is kind of hit and miss, but I enjoyed the room temp. food. I found the "dips" I think babaganoj, hummus, and yogurt to be great. make sure they bring you the fresh hot bread. I also loved the salads, roasted cauliflower, tabbouleh, falafel, pickled veggies. One time when I was there they had livers, they must have been chicken, I tried them they were nice, but my mother loved them.. She even asked me to bring her back there, but there was no liver the next time we went.
It's no gourmet destination, but I had no trouble finding lots to eat.
re: sweetie
Good ingredients ruined. A large selection, but hard to put together a decent meal. A huge disappointment.
Thanks everyone for your help!
As some people mentioned, the cold food was good but the hot food wasn't that great. The salads were nice and I really enjoyed the falafel as well, nice and crispy. We did get fresh hot bread, which my 3 year old son loved! I didn't like the rice and my husband found the meat dry and salty. It was really busy and turnover of the food was high but my brother-in-law who eats everything complained that mussels tasted like soap! But my mother-in-law loved the food, she was the one who picked the place and it was for her so I'm glad at least she enjoyed it. :) And my son loved the belly dancer, even though she would go to different parts of the restaurant, my son insisted I take him to see her dance.
We will definitely try the Eglinton location next time.
We used to go quite often but find the food is like some said, hit or miss. Just not worth the price in my opinion, so we stopped going.
The seafood isn't that great. I did like the crispy falafel, the whole lamb with rice, some of the cold salads, their beet salad is good and made with fresh beets, I can't remember much else, and we've been there so many times!
The belly dancer is always the same woman, we took pictures last time when it was my husband's birthday.
I was surprised at the reviews of the restaurant. I've been there a few times and find the food to be very good. I love the cold dishes as well as the hot ones. My fave was the jumbo shrimp. I've never had AYCE shrimp that good anywhere. I'm having my 50th birthday party there because I remember seeing people celebrating all kinds of events and they looked like they were having an awesome time. I also figure, because it's a buffet, everyone will find something they like. I'll report further after the party.

Omaha's Terence Crawford put on a boxing clinic in Scotland on Saturday taking the WBO lightweight title from Ricky Burns.
Crawford dominated every round to win the title and a welcome home ceremony is planned at Eppley Airfield on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. He's expected to arrive at 6:44 p.m. on United Airlines flight #6397.
Crawford grew up training at CW Boxing in Omaha, but more recently has been training in Colorado.
In an interview with WOWT before he left for Scotland, he told us he was ready.
"It's always been my dream. I never wanted to go to the Olympics or get the gold medal," he said. "I always wanted to be a world champion, so now that it's here, I'm just ready for it."
That was an understatement.
Congratulations to The Champ!

Mosquitoes aren't the only pest population on the rise in 2014. A brutal winter is also affecting the number of ticks.
Ticks are commonly confused as insects, but ecologists classify them as arachnids in the same family as spiders, scorpions and mites.
Winter's heavy snow acted as a cover for ticks, and experts say the cold doesn't harm them.
"Humidity has a lot to do with it," said Catherine Craker, who worked in the Biology Department at the University of Notre Dame studying ticks for 7 years.
"If you have a less snowy winter, they're most exposed and you might get a bigger die off," said Craker.
While there are hundreds of tick varieties, only three disease carrying vectors affect Michiana. Those are Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Fever.
While the probability of falling victim to a disease carrying tick is still low, a local veterinarian says the pests may be getting worse, when it comes to overall population.
"Previous years, we wouldn't see ticks on cats," said Dr. David Visser of the Center for Animal Health.
"We are actually seeing them on outdoor cats this year. So, ticks are getting to be a little bit more offensive if you will," said Dr. Visser.
Experts say removing the tick within 24 hours will drastically reduce one's chances of contracting a disease.
"It's important to be sure you get the mouth parts, which have little barbs, they attach very, very well, using tweezers or we have a product called Tick Twister," said Dr. Visser.
Another way to avoid disease is prevention. Experts continuously recommend repellents like Deet. Vets suggest flea and tick collars or prescription medication for pets. Others suggest habitat reduction like removing brush and mowing the lawn.
Ticks are annoying to humans and pets, but naturalists say they play a valuable role in the eco-system.
"Ticks are good foods for birds and good for other insects," said Fred DeFerbrache, the Executive Director at Woodlawn Nature Center in Elkhart.
"A high tick population means a healthier woods," said DeFerbrache.

Those pesky inheritance taxes
My partner of 22 years and I have very carefully titled the assets we own jointly to make our joint ownership clear. For example, our home is titled as "Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship," our vehicles are jointly titled and most of our banking accounts and investments (except qualified plans like IRAs, which must be owned by an individual) are also jointly held. We thought that this would protect us from our home state, Pennsylvania's onerous inheritance tax of 4.5%. But recently, we've been handling the estate of one of moms who passed away. Imagine our surprise when we were hit with the state inheritance tax of bank accounts that were titled jointly with mom! I know that opposite-sex spouses in Pennsylvania do not have to pay the inheritance tax on money inherited from a spouse. This is just another reason that we will continue to fight for marriage equality. But meanwhile, is there anything else we can do to avoid this tax? Move to Florida where there is no estate tax? Move to Canada, where we are legally married? Establish some sort of trust? Neither of us is planning to pass away in any hurry but you never know … We'd appreciate your advice.
State by state
State inheritance and estate taxes are a moving target. Not only do these taxes vary from state to state but exemptions also vary from state to state. If you are considering a move to a particular state, it is best to speak to a qualified attorney or tax adviser in that state to get the most up-to-date information specific to your situation. Also, it is important to keep in mind that there are many forms of taxes and that, in moving to a state to avoid paying inheritance and/or estate taxes, you may end up paying more in income taxes, sales taxes, etc. For instance, although there is no New Jersey inheritance tax on a New Jersey decedent's property left to a civil union partner, New Jersey ranks near the top in sales and income taxes and, on a per capita basis, ranks at the top of all states for property taxes.
Great point!
Two great points, actually. First, get a qualified attorney in the state you're considering and, second, look at teh whole picture. Thanks again, Ben!

Joint Property & PA Inheritance Taxes
It is the unfortunate reality that jointly titled property owned by same-sex partners who reside in Pennsylvania is almost always subject to inheritance tax upon the death of one of the partners. In fact, on the death of an owner, Pennsylvania imposes an inheritance tax on all jointly titled property that is physically located in Pennsylvania and on all intangible property jointly owned by Pennsylvania residents, unless the joint owners are husband and wife.
Property can be owned jointly by unmarried people either as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in common. Owning property as joint tenants with right of survivorship ("JTROS") means that each owner owns an equal share of the property and that, when each owner dies, his or her share will automatically be transferred to the surviving owner or owners.
When property is owned JTROS by two unmarried people and one of those owners dies, one-half of the total value of the property will be subject to the Pennsylvania inheritance tax. When property is owned JTROS by more than two people and one of the owners dies, the percentage of the property that is subject to tax is the fractional share owned by the decedent. Thus, if there are five JTROS owners of a property, 1/5 of the property will be subject to the Pennsylvania inheritance tax.
Joint ownership that is held as tenants in common differs from JTROS property in that property held as tenants in common does not have to be held in equal shares (so one owner could own 30% and another owner could own 70%). This type of ownership also differs from JTROS property in that it does not automatically transfer a deceased owner's share to the surviving owner(s). Instead, each owner's share will pass to his or her beneficiaries (if the owner has a will) or to his or her intestate heirs (if the owner does not have a will). The percentage of property jointly owned as tenants in common will be the percentage of the property owned by the deceased owner.
The rate of the Pennsylvania inheritance tax is based on the relationship of the surviving joint owner to the decedent. The inheritance tax rate for property passed to a surviving husband or wife of the decedent or from a child under the age of 21 to a parent is 0%. In the case of a parent and child or grandparent and grandchild, who are considered "lineal heirs", the inheritance tax rate is 4.5%. The rate for siblings, including brothers and sisters, and half brothers and sisters, is 12%. For all other surviving joint owners, including same-sex partners, the inheritance tax rate is 15%.
Let's examine how this plays out with a bank account held as JTROS with a balance of $10,000 as of the date of a joint owner's death. If the bank account is jointly owned by a husband and wife and the husband dies, the wife becomes the sole owner of the bank account and pays no inheritance tax. If the $10,000 bank account is jointly owned JTROS by a child and a parent and the parent dies, the child becomes the sole owner of the account and one-half of the value of the account ($5,000) is taxed at the rate of 4.5%, resulting in inheritance tax of $225. If the same bank account is jointly owned JTROS by same-sex partner and one partner dies, the surviving partner becomes the sole owner of the account and one-half of the value of the account is taxed at a rate of 15%, resulting in inheritance tax totaling $750.
Now imagine that the property owned JTROS by same-sex partners is not a $10,000 bank account but a home valued at $500,000 with no mortgage. This would result in a $37,500 inheritance tax bill to the surviving partner. Needless to say, the impact of the inheritance tax can be devastating for gay and lesbian individuals who lose a partner. This is particularly problematic if a deceased individual leaves his or her same-sex partner residential real estate but no cash, life insurance or other easily liquidated asset that can be used to pay the inheritance tax. It is all too common for a surviving partner to have to sell the family's home to pay the inheritance tax due. Life insurance, which is not subject to Pennsylvania inheritance tax, is a great way to make sure a surviving partner has enough cash to pay any inheritance tax that may be due.
Pennsylvania's inheritance tax applies to all real estate and to all tangible personal property (such as furniture, vehicles, jewelry, etc.) located in Pennsylvania, whether the property is owned by Pennsylvania residents or non-residents. Pennsylvania inheritance tax also applies to all intangible property of Pennsylvania residents. Intangible property includes property such as bank accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and patents.
Because Pennsylvania inheritance tax will apply to all intangible property of a Pennsylvania resident, no matter where the property is "located", simply opening a joint bank account with a bank in another state will not avoid Pennsylvania inheritance tax. However, moving yourself and your partner to a state where either there is no inheritance tax or, if the state does impose inheritance tax, where same-sex spouses are exempt from the tax, may be your best option.
In Pennsylvania, setting up revocable trust will not avoid inheritance tax because Pennsylvania will "look through" the trust and assess tax based on the beneficiaries of the trust. Making a gift of property or setting up an irrevocable living trust where the trust grantor gives up control of the property may avoid inheritance tax. However, keep in mind that annual gifts of over $13,000 to a particular individual must be reported on a gift tax return for that year and may result in the imposition of gift tax liability upon the grantor's death if the total of all of the grantor's gifts exceeds a the lifetime gift tax exclusion (which, beginning in 2011 will be $5 million).
In order to determine how to structure your estate to minimize your tax liability it is best to consult with an attorney or tax professional in your state who specializes in tax issues for same-sex couples.
The above is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing contained herein should be construed as legal advice. Because each person's situation is unique and because laws, administrative regulations and court rules differ significantly from state to state, agency to agency and county to county, you should consult a lawyer licensed to practice in your state and familiar with the statutes, administrative regulations and court rules in your area to obtain legal advice appropriate to your situation.
Notice: Pursuant to certain Internal Revenue Service regulations, any tax advice contained in this communication is not intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties imposed under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
Where should we move?
This is awful news and another great reason to keep fighting for marriage equality. In the meantime, can you point to a list of states that do not impose an estate tax on the assets of same-sex partners? I've heard, for example, that Florida has no estate tax at all and that this is a major reason why so many people move to Florida in their later years. But I'm not sure we'd want to move into the path of a hurricane!

Financing Your Education -- There is a Way
We believe that money should not be a barrier to your pursuit of an excellent college education. There are many student financial aid resources out there, and we're here to help you take advantage of them. Eighty-one percent of our students receive some form of financial assistance. Our financial aid office is here to help you create a financial plan that works for you.
Getting Started on a Financial Plan
The first step is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even if you're still deciding where you want to study, we urge you to go ahead and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form including the school ID number for Northeastern, 001693. The deadlines for scholarships are often earlier than deadlines for admission, so it's good to start the application process early. Read more about applying for FAFSA.
Four Types of Aid
Northeastern offers four basic types of financial aid you can seek to help fund your education. With the help of the financial aid office you can find many options within each category. Eligibility and conditions differ depending on type of aid.
- Need-based grants and scholarships. Free money–you do not need to pay it back. Based on your FAFSA results.
- Merit-based grants and scholarships. Free money–you do not need to pay it back. Based on grades, tests, other criteria.
- Student employment. Compensation for work, while enrolled, that you can use to help pay for your education. Sources include the Federal Work-Study Program and local opportunities.
- Loans. Not free money–loans will need to be paid back, with interest. Federal need-based student loans with relatively good terms are available.
Many Sources, Many Recipients
The different types of student financial aid can come from various sources–federal and state government as well as institutional and private sources. You can review comprehensive lists of available scholarships, with eligibility criteria, deadlines, and helpful tips for applying.
If you're a veteran there are resources for veterans. Are you planning to become a teacher? There are resources for education majors. We can help you find the sources that meet your unique situation.
Further Help
The Financial Aid Office offers ongoing workshops on financial aid and provides support for you to do your own research on grants and scholarships. We can also answer questions by phone at (773) 442-5016 and email at email@example.com.

PKP Bugzilla – Bug 6746
Change PDF reader reference to something more open
Last modified: 2012-09-22 15:02:56 PDT
See http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7704&p=29811#p29811 for further conversation on this. Alex, I don't know if you'd like to see something more user-friendly/expansive here?
Yeah, until there's a better browser-based solution, we may as well avoid endorsing Reader here. If we can get away without recommending a PDF viewer for Mac (because OSX Preview has native support), the best OSS Linux/Windows reader I know of is Evince (http://live.gnome.org/Evince/Downloads). Evidently Sumatra (http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/) is also decent.
There is an exhaustive list of free sofware pdf readers on http://pdfreaders.org (if you know of a free pdf reader which is not listed there, you can submit it)
Also the link to the Stanford's highwire advises Adobe… and I don't think it's helpful so it should be remove IMO.
Oops -- I know we keep deferring the CMA bugs, but surely we can get this out of the way without too much trouble? OSX and Linux have both had a built-in solution, so this is really just a Windows issue. Either we become the only people on the internet to link a PDF reader other than Adobe Reader (which I'm perfectly fine with, and would still recommend Evince: https://live.gnome.org/Evince/Downloads, just because Gnome = likely to remain supported), or mark this won'tfix.

OUR BEGINNING... Canadian HERO was officially incorporated on November 8th, 2002 as a fully Registered Public Charity. By incorporating ourselves this way, we are required to direct a minimum of 80% of all donations directly to charity. Canadian HERO is proud have far surpassed that minimum requirement and, to date, has directed over 99% of all our donations directly to charity.
OUR FOUNDER... The Canadian Hand Emulation Research Organization was set in motion by its Founder and President, Davio DiMonte, as a direct result of an accident on September 19th, 2001 that left him an amputee. In that accident Davio saved his brother's life by jumping in front of a falling tree and using both hands to stop the tree from crushing his brother to death. Fortunately his brother was saved any serious injury but Davio almost died from the damage that tree delivered and despite several surgeries, doctors were unable to save his right hand. In 2002 Davio was invited to attend an open session of Council at the Town of Markham Civic Centre. During that council session the Deputy Mayor, Frank Scarpitti, presented Davio with a Commendation, from the Governor General of Canada. In 2004 Davio completed another amazing milestone. After less then two years as an amputee Davio was able to prove that drive, dedication and determination can overcome any obstacle. Davio was able to turn loss into gain as he fought for and earned a spot on the Canadian National Amputee Hockey Team and became a after Team Canada won the Gold Medal in the ISIHF World Hockey Championships.
OUR GOALS... Canadian HERO has many goals, aspirations, ambitions and dreams. Ultimately we aim to advance the frontiers of science and medicine so that in the future no injury ever ends with a person becoming an amputee. We also hope to advance the frontiers of technology based assistive devices so that no amputee will ever have to face the cold hard truth that many assistive devices are heavy, awkward, uncomfortable and extremely overpriced. Canadian HERO also hopes to educate the able bodied public to dispel the perception that: the wonderful potential of a prototypical device on a television special is reality; when in fact these devices are often not actually available to amputees and can cost enormous amounts. Raising the quality of prosthetics, myoelectrics, sensory bionics, hand surgeries, skin grafting procedures, and raising the knowledge levels of both the medical and non-medical communities are of paramount importance to Canadian HERO.
FINANCIAL AID... Canadian HERO is pleased to offer personal financial assistance to individuals who have suffered a full or partial hand amputation or have diminished use of one or both hands. This program was created specifically to help cover any costs applied directly to an individual who requires a new Prosthetic hand or Myoelectric hand and can not afford the needed device. This program hopes to help all those who, for one reason or another, have fallen through the cracks and can not afford the devices they need to improve their quality of life. For more information on this program please Contact Us right away.
SCHOLARSHIPS... Through the dedication of our Directors and Volunteers and the generous support of our Donors we have officially launched the Canadian HERO at York University Scholarship Program. Each year this program will help students to better cope with the added expense and encumbrances of participating in the academic community with an amputated hand or the diminished use of one or both hands. At least one student every year, for as long as the university exists, will be presented with the Canadian HERO Bursary. If you or someone you know would like to apply for this Bursary please let us know. The official amount of the 2012 Bursary was $ 1,290.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2011 Bursary was $ 1,285.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2010 Bursary was $ 1,031.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2009 Bursary was $ 1,275.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2008 Bursary was $ 1,290.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2007 Bursary was $ 1,275.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2006 Bursary was $ 1,250.00 which has been presented to the recipient. The official amount of the 2005 Bursary was $ 1,125.00 which has been presented to the recipient.

The early 2013 arrival of the Pawn Shop series Bass VI (above) marks the revamped return of a classic Fender instrument of the 1960s and early 1970s. Indeed, the Bass VI occupies its own special niche in Fender history, and its story now resumes—after quite a lengthy absence—with the new Pawn Shop version of the instrument. It's a welcome return.
If the name is new to you, the Bass VI was introduced in 1961 as a six-string bass (the 1961 Fender catalog referred to it simply as the "New six-string Bass Guitar"). It occupied its own special ground somewhere between a guitar and a bass, designed to compete with the New Jersey-based Danelectro company's UB-2 six-string bass, a popular session instrument since its introduction in 1956. The latter was noted for a punchy but clear low-end sound often used when recording to double acoustic upright bass parts in a technique called "tic-tac" bass.
Fender designed its Bass VI on the heels of its highly successful Jazz Bass guitar (1960) as a more sophisticated and tonally versatile offering than the Danelectro instrument. Baritone guitars were in use by then, notably by artists such as Duane Eddy and the Beach Boys. These were definitely considered guitars, and it wasn't unusual for them to use a tuning other than standard guitar tuning (EADGBE), such as a perfect fifth lower (ADGCEA), a perfect fourth lower (BEADF#B) or even a major third lower (CFBbEbGC).
The Bass VI, however, was emphatically offered as a bass—tuned EADGBE like a guitar, but an octave lower, and strung with heavy-gauge wound strings.
Truly, though, the Bass VI had a split personality. It is perhaps best described as an elaborate cross between a Jazz Bass and a Jaguar guitar (which debuted a year after the Bass VI), with a guitarist-friendly 30" scale (the standard length for short-scale bass guitars) and a Jazzmaster/Jaguar-like tremolo bridge/tailpiece assembly.
It had a sleek and unmistakably Fender-y offset body, with a narrow 21-fret neck that made for tight string spacing that appealed more to guitarists than bassists. It had three single-coil pickups with smooth chrome mounting rings, with controls resembling that of the subsequent Jaguar guitar: a single volume and single tone control on the chrome input jack plate, and three pickup on/off slider switches on a hexagonal chrome plate on the stubby lower horn (one for each pickup). It came in a three-color-sunburst finish on its 1961 introduction, with custom color finishes available in later years. Interestingly, the headstock logo said "Fender IV" in gold (not "Fender Bass VI," as might be supposed), with "Electric Bass Guitar" in small black all-caps letters just below.
After the Jaguar guitar appeared in 1962, the Bass VI was modified with some of that guitar's elements, most notably re-designed pickups with notched chrome rings, and a fourth slider switch that offered a deeper tone (often called the "strangle" switch), and foam rubber string mutes. It received fingerboard binding in late 1965 and block inlays in 1966. A polyester finish replaced nitrocellulose lacquer in 1968, which is also when the headstock logo changed from gold to black.
The Bass VI immediately found widespread use as a studio instrument—especially for film and television work—but it appeared relatively infrequently onstage. In hindsight, some attributed this to the notion that its heavy strings but narrow neck spacing made it "too bass" for guitarists and "too guitar" for bassists. It didn't lend itself to strumming; rather, it worked best for single-note passages.
"I played it with a pick, which I do not normally do," said Steve Kilbey, longtime bassist/vocalist/songwriter for Australian rock band the Church. "I found I could not play it with my fingers—the strings are so close. But it definitely had a sound of its own. I loved that you could tremolo deep notes, and I loved the precise sound of it. The six was like a sports car or something. It wasn't for all conditions, but for some things it was magic."
The relative few who are aware of the Bass VI today often seem to think of it as a short-lived and seldom-seen mid-'60s instrument. Not so.
For starters, it was an early 1960s instrument. Certainly, it did keep a low profile, so to speak, in the shadows of its more conventional brothers, the Precision and Jazz basses and the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars, but it was anything but short lived. It did in fact spend most of the 1960s and half the 1970s in the lineup with those instruments, enjoying a 14-year original run that lasted from 1961 to 1975.
There might be more substance to the "seldom-seen" notion, because despite the Bass VI's durability, Fender never manufactured it in vast numbers. Nonetheless, the Bass VI has seen plenty of action in each decade of its existence, and it has been found in high-profile hands all along; from Brit rock royalty of the 1960s and hard rock heroes of the '70s to alt-rockers and iconoclasts of the '80s and '90s and garage-indie players of today (see list below).
A reissue model didn't appear for another 20 years. The Japanese-made Reissue Fender Bass VI of 1995 was a largely accurate recreation of the four-switch model of 1962. It was available through 1998.
Another Japanese model, the Jaguar Bass VI Custom, appeared in 2004. A special edition instrument, it had more overtly Jaguar-like features such as two Jaguar-style pickups with on/off slider switches, dual tone circuits and controls ("lead" and "rhythm"), and an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with an anchored tailpiece. Even its 28.5" scale length was more guitar-like. The model was discontinued in 2007.
The Fender Custom Shop went all out in 2006 with the most faithful recreation of the original instrument to date, the limited edition '64 Bass VI. It featured a quartersawn maple neck, a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup, and a "bleached" three-color sunburst finish. The model was offered through 2008.
Which brings us to the most recent version of the Bass VI. As part of Fender's acclaimed Pawn Shop series of imaginatively esoteric instruments that "never were but could have been," a new version of the instrument appeared in early 2013. While the Pawn Shop Bass VI mirrored its original ancestor closely for the most part, it did feature a few major design updates—a pair of high-output Special Design Hot Jaguar single-coil neck and middle pickups, a powerful JZHB humbucking bridge pickup, and a Stratocaster-style five-way blade pickup switch in place of the barrage of slider switches on the upper bout.
The Bass VI has thus emerged once again from the pages of Fender history to put its distinctive stamp on contemporary music and deliver its unmistakable sound to a new generation of players eager to have authentic sounds at their disposal.
* * * * *
As noted above, the Bass VI is often perceived as a "short lived and seldom seen" instrument when, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. It enjoyed remarkable longevity throughout the 1960s and well into the 1970s, and has been used by many notable players in every decade since its 1961 introduction. In roughly chronological order, these include:
- Jet Harris. The former Shadows bassist used a Bass VI in 1962 on his first two solo singles, "Besame Mucho" and "Main Title Theme" (from The Man With the Golden Arm).
- Eric Haydock. Original Hollies bassist Haydock often favored a Bass VI; he's seen playing an early three-switch model in 1963 U.K. film It's All Over Town as the Hollies perform "Now's the Time."
- Rick Danko. As bassist for Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks from 1960 to 1964, Danko played a Bass VI before switching to conventional bass guitar models. This was of course well before the 1968 formation of The Band.
- John Entwistle. The Who bassist briefly experimented with the Bass VI around 1964-1965, playing it at several live performances (a photo shows him onstage with a Bass VI at an April 16, 1965, Who set at London's Goldhawk Social Club).
- Jack Bruce. Probably the most visible Bass VI player, he played one during a brief mid-'60s stint with Manfred Mann before forming Cream in 1966. He used a Bass VI—which soon received a psychedelic paint job—on much of the band's 1966 debut album, Fresh Cream.
- Noel Redding. Redding isn't known to have used his Bass VI on any recordings by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but he did have one and he reportedly did use it for several live performances.
- Luther Perkins. The longtime Johnny Cash sideman reportedly played a Bass VI on "Happy to Be With You" from 1966 Cash album Happiness is You.
- Glen Campbell. Sources conflict over whether the baritone guitar sound heard on Campbell hits "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston" (1968 and 1969, respectively) is a Bass VI, but Campbell did use a Bass VI in at least one televised performance of the former.
- George Harrison and John Lennon. Late in the 1960s, both Beatles guitarists sometimes picked up a Bass VI whenever Paul McCartney was busy at the piano, as Harrison did for a filmed performance of "Hey Jude" and as Lennon did during filmed performances of "Let It Be" and "The Long and Winding Road." Lennon is also said to have played a Bass VI on "Helter Skelter," "Back In the U.S.S.R." and "Rocky Racoon" from The Beatles, and on "Dig It" from Let It Be. Harrison is also said to have played it on "Birthday" and "Honey Pie" from The Beatles, and on "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Carry That Weight" from Abbey Road.
- Peter Green. The U.K. electric blues great and Fleetwood Mac founder often used a Bass VI onstage during Mac performances circa 1969-1970 (i.e., live versions of "The Green Manalishi," "Tutti Frutti" and others). He also played it on recording sessions for Duster Bennett, Peter Bardens and others.
- Roy Babbington. Best known as the bassist for U.K. progressive rock/jazz fusion outfit Soft Machine, Babbington played a Bass VI throughout his 1973-1976 tenure with the band.
- Joe Perry. Perry reportedly wrote and recorded the main riff of swaggering 1976 Aerosmith track "Back in the Saddle" with a Bass VI.
- Klaus Flouride. Dead Kennedy's bassist Geoffrey "Klaus Flouride" Lyall sometimes used a blue Bass VI.
- Steve Kilbey. The longtime Church bassist/vocalist is a longtime Bass VI fan ever since he first saw one (and bought it) in Sydney, Australia, in 1984. He used it on acclaimed 1992 Church album Priest=Aura, and has often played one onstage.
- Robert Smith, Porl Thompson and Perry Bamonte. Perhaps no band has put the Bass VI to more use in the modern era than the Cure. Third album Faith (1981) was the first album on which Smith used the instrument; he also used it around that time for lengthy instrumental piece "Carnage Visors." Smith's Bass VI work appears sporadically on mid-'80s albums such as The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, and figures prominently on later albums Disintegration (1989), Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996), Bloodflowers (2000) and 4:13 Dream (2008). Periodically in-and-out guitarist Thompson also occasionally played it, and Bamonte played a Bass VI extensively during his stint with the Cure from 1990 to 2005.
- Slash. The Guns N' Roses guitarist played a Bass VI on "Right Next Door to Hell" from 1991 album Use Your Illusion I.
- Poison Ivy. Cramps guitarist and vocalist Kristy "Poison Ivy" Wallace "played a little bit of Fender VI" on 1986 album A Date With Elvis.
- Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal. Both Placebo musicians got Bass VIs in the mid-to-late 1990s and used them often for stage and studio work, particularly on albums Placebo (1996), Without You I'm Nothing (1998) and Black Market Music (2000). Molko used his on tracks such as "Scared of Girls," "Narcoleptic" and "Slave to the Wage." Olsdal used his on track such as "36 Degrees," "You Don't Care About Us," "Pure Morning," "The Crawl" and "Burger Queen."
- Mark Hoppus. Influenced by the Beach Boys and the Cure in the early 2000s, Hoppus used a Bass VI on eponymous 2003 album Blink-182 (on which the Cure's Robert Smith was a guest vocalist on "All of This"). Subsequently, Hoppus could sometimes be seen playing the customized model (he had a humbucking bridge pickup installed) onstage for the album's second single, "I Miss You."
- Peter Holmstrom. The Dandy Warhols guitarist has a 1962 Bass VI that he puts to use once in a while.
- John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer. Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarists past and present, Frusciante and Klinghoffer both have Bass VIs. Frusciante plays his early-'60s three-switch model on "Dark/Light" and "Central" from 2009 solo album The Empyrean. Klinghoffer plays his on "Happiness Loves Company" from 2011 Chili Peppers album I'm With You.
- Dan Auerbach. The Black Keys guitarist/vocalist reportedly played a Bass VI on "All You Ever Wanted" from 2008 album Attack & Release.
And one special mention:
- Nigel Tufnel. In the beloved "guitar collection" scene in 1984 rock "mockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap, Tufnel (Christopher Guest) shows filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) several of his most cherished guitars. One of the instruments is so special to Tufnel that he's never even played it; indeed, it still has the price "tagger" attached to it. Tufnel admonishes DiBergi not to touch it, point at it or even look at it. And while viewers get barely a glimpse of the instrument during the scene, Tufnel's prized instrument is in fact a Bass VI in a rare Sea Foam Green finish.

Her health is doing much better and she is working on developing a persona as an adult and with all things, feels the need to get it all lined out before she goes forth. Her latest research is 1560 Venetian. I can make her some basic garments, but one of the things we need to find is a seamstress who she could commission proper dress from, this needs to be someone who is very patient as things like this are where her disabilities are at the forefront. Also, she has been looking at all the jewlry of this period and is wanting to know of where she can learn more about them. Anyone we can get together with to discuss and teach would be great and books or online sources she could be studying. I'm writing all three groups as you are the people she knows the best and is the most comfortable with. As mentioned, she has some severe disabilities and they are best managed by proper scouting efforts. She is really looking forward to being able to be more active in the SCA and having proper dress and accutraments for her is one of the first things to ensure that-so what I'm working on getting that lined up. Northkeep has Winterkingdom on what looks like Dec 29th and I hope we can get her where that is in order by then so she is comfortable with attending. Thanks, Susan

For many this 4th of July weekend is a patriotic celebration with family and friends, and for one Lafayette family it's a reunion of a lifetime in the making.
After searching for more than 20 years Shelia Richard says she finally found her first born,Kevin Thomas after being forced to give him up for adoption 35 years ago.
For the last 23 years with hopes of finding her son, she used four different agencies trying to track him down but without any luck.
That changed last week after someone reached out to her through Facebook and told her where she could find him.
Since then Richard and her son have been spending time together.
They say nothing will ever separate them again.

Carmakers accused of manipulating fuel economy tests
Graphic demonstrating common ways carmakers manipulate tests for CO2 emissions
The official fuel consumption measured in tests is on average almost a quarter lower than that achieved on average by drivers on the road, a new report says.
The report finds that this gap is growing and the principal cause is car manufacturers manipulating official tests.
The report, published today by sustainable transport campaigners Transport & Environment (T&E), explained why the gap between real-world CO2 emissions figures and test results actually occurs.
It includes a comparison of test results produced by carmakers and identical tests performed by an independent laboratory on six standard new cars.
The results show that the CO2 and fuel consumption figures achieved in official test results (that use specifically prepared cars) are on average 23 per cent lower than independent tests using regular production cars that do not seek to exploit flexibilities in the testing procedures.
These results match the difference between typical test results and real-world averages.
According to the report, there are about 20 ways carmakers 'creatively' re-interpret test procedures, exploiting loopholes and flexibilities in the current rules to boost the green credentials of their cars.
Among the tricks applied are: taping over cracks around the doors and grills; over-inflated tyres; adjusting the wheel alignment and brakes; using special super-lubricants; minimising the weight of the vehicle; testing at altitude, at unrealistically high temperatures and on super-slick test-tracks.
The report concludes that the current test regime is not fit for purpose and that loopholes in the current test should be immediately closed, with new cars and vans retested under realistic conditions.
Greg Archer, clean vehicles manager at T&E, said: "This new evidence shows that carmakers in Europe are cheating their own customers by manipulating official tests, which leads to thousands of euros of additional fuel costs for drivers.
"They are also cheating legislators, as EU laws intended to reduce CO2 emissions from cars and vans are only being met in the laboratory, but not on the road.
"The only way to rebuild this trust is by closing loopholes in the current test procedures, to ensure that cheaters never prosper."
From 2016, T&E is calling for a new test cycle, the World Light Duty Test Procedure (WLTP), to be introduced and for checks to be made on new production cars to ensure they can replicate test results.
"Average emissions of 95g CO2/km in the regulation should deliver 95g on the road," Archer said..
"Loopholes in the ways cars are tested and flexibilities such as double counting of electric vehicles using so-called 'supercredits' just weaken the intended benefits of the regulation and are not needed."

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn February 17, 2006, at 0950 eastern standard time, a Bell 206B helicopter, N36HF, was substantially damaged during collision with terrain while maneuvering near Big Creek, Kentucky. The certificated commercial pilot was seriously injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that originated at Yeager Airport (CRW), Charleston, West Virginia, and was destined for Middlesboro-Bell County Airport (1A6), Middlesboro, Kentucky. A company visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan was filed for the positioning flight conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.The pilot was interviewed by telephone and provided a written statement. According to the pilot, the purpose of the flight was to pick up passengers in Middlesboro, and fly them to Bluefield, West Virginia. Approximately 16 miles prior to his intended destination, the pilot landed in a field due to deteriorating weather conditions, and called his employer by cellular telephone.During the telephone conversation, it was decided that the pilot should reverse course, and either land at Hazard, Kentucky, to wait for improved weather conditions, or return to Charleston, West Virginia.The pilot took off from the field and attempted to fly directly to Hazard, but was again unable to follow his desired course due to weather. He then attempted to backtrack along his original course using the "breadcrumbs" feature on the helicopter's Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.The pilot said that as he maneuvered towards Hazard, the weather improved. The ridgelines were visible, and he was able to fly "about 100 feet above the trees, and 200 feet below the clouds" as he approached a field that was crossed by a power line. The pilot was unclear of the details after that point in the flight. He only recalled that he closed the throttle because the helicopter was rotating, and was later evacuated from the field by MEDEVAC helicopter.In a subsequent written statement, the pilot said he underwent hypno-therapy in an effort to recall more details from the flight. He stated, "I remembered that I started the approach to the crash [site] because there was a 'klunking' noise coming from behind me. As I entered the approach the noise got worse and the aircraft started to vibrate. The vibrations got very bad as I tried to arrest my descent, so I decided that touching down hard was better than shaking apart. I remembered hitting the ground with the front part of the right skid first and chopping the throttle sometime soon after that as the aircraft spun." In a telephone interview with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, a witness stated he saw the helicopter descending to land but thought that it seemed to be descending "too fast." The helicopter came down to the ground then pitched nose down (the tail went upward) and the main rotor struck the ground and the helicopter bounced back upward as it crashed. The witness added that the helicopter's engine "might not have been running properly."Data from the GPS receiver was downloaded under the supervision of the FAA, and forwarded to the National Transportation Safety Board. Examination of the ground track of the helicopter in the last minute of flight revealed the helicopter was on a northerly track as it crossed a saddle of about 1,300 feet elevation, at an altitude of about 1,700 feet mean sea level (msl). The helicopter then turned left, across the northern face of the western peak of the saddle. The helicopter followed along the 1,100-foot contour line, and descended 300 feet during the 18-second turn to the west.The track then made a sharp, right-hand, descending turn to the north, and leveled about 100 feet above flat terrain about 900 feet msl, and surrounded by rising terrain on all sides. The track continued in a turn to the west for approximately 15 seconds before it ended in the vicinity of the crash site. Interpolation of the track data revealed that after crossing the saddle, the helicopter descended at a rate of 1,000 feet per minute during the s-turn across the face of the mountain before it leveled over the flat terrain in the vicinity of the crash site. The helicopter's ground speed slowed below 20 knots as it leveled.The accident occurred during the hours of daylight approximately 37 degrees, 05 minutes north latitude, and 83 degrees, 32 minutes west longitude.PILOT INFORMATIONThe pilot held a commercial pilot certificate with a rating for rotorcraft-helicopter and instrument helicopter. The pilot's most recent FAA second-class medical certificate was issued January 16, 2006. The pilot reported 2,069 total hours of flight experience, all of which was in helicopters. He reported 1,153 hours of experience in make and model. AIRCRAFT INFORMATION The helicopter was manufactured in 1975, and had accrued 10,800 total aircraft hours. The helicopter was on a manufacturer's inspection program, and it's most recent annual inspection was completed February 10, 2006, at 10,796 aircraft hours.During his initial interview, the pilot described the performance and handling of the helicopter as "flawless." He said there were no unusual noises or indications from the helicopter during the flight.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONAt 0712, the weather reported at Yeager Airport, Charleston, West Virginia, included broken cloud layers at 1,900 feet, 2,600 feet, and 5,000 feet. The wind was from 300 degrees at 18 knots, gusting to 30 knots.At 0753, the weather reported at Julian Carroll Airport (JKL), Jackson, Kentucky, 47 miles southwest of CRW, included an overcast ceiling at 900 feet and the wind was from 270 degrees at 9 knots, gusting to 18 knots.At 0753, the weather reported at London-Corbin/Magee Airport (LOZ), 25 miles west of the crash site, included an overcast ceiling at 800 feet, visibility 7 miles, and wind from 330 degrees at 9 knots gusting to 19 knots.At 0953, the weather reported at London-Corbin/Magee Airport (LOZ), included a broken ceiling at 1,500 feet, an overcast ceiling at 2,000 feet, visibility 10 miles, and wind from 330 degrees at 6 knots gusting to 14 knots.At 1058, the weather reported at Wise, Virginia (LNP), 53 miles east of the crash site included an overcast ceiling of 100 feet and visibility of 1/4 mile.At the time of the accident, Airman's Meteorological Information (AIRMET) Sierra was in effect for mountain obscuration, and AIRMET Tango was in effect for turbulence, in the area that included the route of flight.The pilot reported that the winds at the time of the accident were from 270 degrees at 20 knots, gusting to 25 knots. According to a Safety Board meteorologist, a review of the weather around the time of the accident revealed, "A strong cold front passed through the area a little earlier in the morning. Strong, gusty northwesterly low-level winds were occurring behind the front. Weather observations and visible satellite imagery indicated overcast clouds (wave clouds under the strong NW flow). There were AIRMETs out for mountain obscuration and moderate low-level turbulence."According to FAA-P-8740-2, "When the wind speed is above about 25 knots, and flowing perpendicular to the ridge lines, the air flow can form waves, much like water flowing over rocks in a stream bed. The waves form down wind from the ridgeline and will be composed of very strong up and down drafts, plus dangerous rotor action under the crests of the waves. If enough moisture is present, lenticular clouds can form to give a visual indication of the wave action. These clouds are reported in the remarks section of hourly sequence reports as ACSL (altocumulus standing lenticular) or CCSL (cirrocumulus standing lenticular)."WRECKAGE INFORMATIONThe helicopter was examined in the field by an FAA inspector, and all major components of the helicopter were accounted for at the scene. The helicopter came to rest on its right side, and the main rotor, 90-degree gearbox, tail rotor, and vertical fin were separated and scattered about within an approximate 100-foot radius. The main transmission was broken free of its mounts.The windscreen, chin bubbles, and the instrument panel were separated from the cockpit, leaving the flight controls and cockpit seats exposed. The anti-torque pedals, the floor, and the seats in the cockpit appeared intact.The helicopter was removed from the scene, and a detailed examination was performed in Charleston, West Virginia, under the supervision of an FAA inspector on February 22, 2006. The examination revealed no preimpact anomalies. The engine was removed for further examination at a later date.On March 10, 2006, the engine was examined at the Rolls-Royce Factory, Indianapolis, Indiana under FAA supervision. There was damage to the compressor first stage wheel, with blade material missing and bent opposite the direction of rotation, both as a result of impact and foreign object damage (FOD).The N1 section rotated freely by hand and continuity was established to the starter/generator. The N2 section rotated freely by hand and continuity was established to the power takeoff.The engine was mounted in a test stand, but the starter generator required replacement due to a broken wire. A Pc (compressor discharge pressure) air tube leak was noted, but the test was continued. The engine started and ran without interruption, but the full test was not completed due to excessive vibration from the FOD-damaged compressor. Extrapolation of the run data revealed that the engine met the manufacturer's specifications for an overhauled engine. The Pc air tube leak did not affect engine performance.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONThe Rotorcraft Flying Handbook, FAA-H-8083-21, Chapter 11, Helicopter Emergencies, Vortex Ring State (Settling With Power), stated:"Vortex ring state describes an aerodynamic condition where a helicopter may be in a vertical descent with up to maximum power applied, and little or no cyclic authority. The term 'settling with power' comes from the fact that the helicopter keeps settling even though full engine power is applied.In a normal out-of-ground-effect hover, the helicopter is able to remain stationary by propelling a large mass of air down through the main rotor. Some of the air is recirculated near the tips of the blades, curling up from the bottom of the rotor system and rejoining the air entering the rotor from the top. This phenomenon is common to all airfoils and is known as tip vortices. Tip vortices consume engine power but produce no useful lift. As long as the tip vortices are small, their only effect is a small loss in rotor efficiency. However, when the helicopter begins to descend vertically, it settles into its own downwash, which greatly enlarges the tip vortices. In this vortex ring state, most of the power developed by the engine is wasted in accelerating the air in a doughnut pattern around the rotor.In addition, the helicopter may descend at a rate that exceeds the normal downward induced-flow rate of the inner blade sections. As a result, the airflow of the inner blade sections is upward relative to the disc. This produces a secondary vortex ring in addition to the normal tip-vortices. The secondary vortex ring is generated about the point on the blade where the airflow changes from up to down. The result is an unsteady turbulent flow over a large area of the disc. Rotor efficiency is lost even though power is still being supplied from the engine.A fully developed vortex ring state is characterized by an unstable condition where the helicopter experiences uncommanded pitch and roll oscillations, has little or no cyclic authority, and achieves a descent rate, which, if allowed to develop, may approach 6,000 feet per minute. It is accompanied by increased levels of vibration.A vortex ring state may be entered during any maneuver that places the main rotor in a condition of high upflow and low forward airspeed. This condition is sometimes seen during quick-stop type maneuvers or during recoveries from autorotations. The following combination of conditions are likely to cause settling in a vortex ring state:1. A vertical or nearly vertical descent of at least 300 feet per minute. (Actual critical rate depends on the gross weight, r.p.m, density altitude, and other pertinent factors.)2. The rotor system must be using some of the available engine power (from 20 to 100 percent).3. The horizontal velocity must be slower than effective translational lift."The Good Aviation Practices publication Helicopter Performance, published by the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (November 2002), stated:"Turbulence and Windshear: The possibility of turbulence and windshear should be considered when determining takeoff and landing performance. (Windshear is a change in wind speed and or direction over a very short distance.) The presence of windshear can cause the sudden loss of translational lift and increase the power required to that of OGE hover and beyond - particularly accompanied by a downdraught.Local terrain, trees, and buildings all influence the flow of wind near them. The mechanical turbulence resulting from this disturbed airflow may become very marked in the lee of the obstruction.In winds below 15 knots, the turbulence in the lee may extend vertically to about one third higher than the obstruction. In winds above 20 knots, eddies can occur on the leeward side to a distance of about 10 to 15 times the obstruction height, and up to twice the obstruction height above the ground.A gust wind situation where windshear is likely to be present...will require a greater power margin to deal with any unexpected loss of airspeed and sink."

Report: NFL, Referees Reach AgreementPosted by on September 26, 2012 – 9:12 PM
According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, the NFL has reached an agreement with the NFL Referees Association.
The NFL reached an agreement with the NFL Referees Association late Wednesday to end the referee lockout and are working on the paperwork now, according to a league source.
A high-ranked referee told NFL.com and NFL Network's Jeff Darlington earlier that the officials are prepared to immediately begin work, noting he and many others have gotten access to all of the videos from the last three weeks of games that were distributed to the replacement officials.
Read the complete story on NFL.com
Update 9:30 P.M. PDT: Joint statement from NFL and NFLRA
The NFL and NFLRA are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement tonight on an eight-year collective bargaining agreement, subject to ratification by the NFLRA.
"Our officials will be back on the field starting tomorrow night," Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "We appreciate the commitment of the NFLRA in working through the issues to reach this important agreement."
"Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved taking this proposed CBA to the membership for a ratification vote," said Scott Green, president of the NFLRA. "We are glad to be getting back on the field for this week's games."

Now with all the bad calls we should have a do over and start fresh with new refs. What do you think about that?
By randy on Sep 26, 2012 | Reply
Hey, even the so to speak "real refs" make a lot of mistakes. You can't blame it all on the replacements. Look at Superbowl 40. You should give the replacements a pat on the back. Without them, we might have lost the whole NFL season!! There are bad calls, and missed calls all the time in every sport. And who cares if Vegas is upset….not me!!!

I think everyone in the NFL from the top down are nothing but a bunch of over paid cry babies.

I think it's funny and interesting, how quickly we all forget how much we complain about the ref's every season, (the real ones). The guy in the picture above cost the Chargers a game in Denver a few years ago. I applaud the replacement ref's, for the job they did. I wonder if the ref's got to continue their pension? How many people out there have a pension where they work? These people need to get real.

Munger Moss Motel sign refurbished November 7, 2010Posted by Ron Warnick in Motels, Preservation, Signs.
Here's what the newly reconditioned neon sign for the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, Mo., looks like now, after a relighting ceremony on Saturday night.
The elaborate sign never actually went dark. But it was showing its age, as this photo from last year displays. Some of the neon tubes or bulbs had broken, shorted, or burned out.
The Route 66 Association of Missouri and its Neon Heritage Preservation Committee lead the efforts for the restoration of the sign. The historic Route 66 motel received an $11,300 cost-share grant from the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program to replace broken or missing neon tubing. The grant also refurbished the motel's "Office" sign.
Many of those who attended the ceremony got a nice souvenir of the occasion. Motel co-owner Ramona Lehman autographed the burned-out yellow bulbs from the sign and gave one to attendees who requested them.
UPDATE: KY3-TV in Springfield, Mo., has a video of the relighting, plus you get to see the chasing lights in all their glory.
UPDATE2: Here's KY3-TV's video:
UPDATE3: Here are a couple of new photos from Jim Thole of the Route 66 Association of Missouri's Neon Heritage Preservation Committee. One is of Munger Moss owners Bob and Ramona Lehman being given a plaque from John Murphey of the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program shortly after the relighting ceremony.
The next photo is of the Munger Moss' refurbished sign at daytime:

Christian Louboutin's 'Sexy strass'
Red-sole gate rumbles on. Christian Louboutin and YSL, Grazia Daily readers will know, are currently involved in the case-of-all-cases in New York, centering around the formers trademark of red-soled shoes, and the latter's use of said red sole on a pair of Resort 2011 heels.
This week, a judge in New York, where the two sides have furiously, but tres elegantly, been putting their cases across, has dismissed some evidence by YSL.
YSL's suede peep toe heels from their Resort 2011 collection
The evidence, as Grazia Daily has previously reported, has included citing Dorothy from 'The Wizard Of Oz' and King Louis XIV as other non-Louboutin wearing red sole fans, but now the judge - Victor Marrero – has deemed this evidence invalid.
We should of course point out that this is not a final verdict – Marrero has asked for more time before delivering that – but it is nonetheless an interesting twist in what is undoubtedly the most hotly contested use of a colour, ever. Watch this space kids!

November 28, 2014
November 10, 2012
RADFORD, Va. (AP) - Virginia regulators say the Army and a defense contractor could be fined for a small amount of acid that leaked into the New River from the Radford Army Ammunition Plant.
According to a report released Friday by the state Department of Environmental Quality, acid from the July leak at the plant reached the river, but did no harm.
The Army and BAE Systems Inc. said the leak occurred while crews were trying to cool several overheated spent nitric acid tanks.
The Roanoke Times reports (http://bit.ly/TkE3XI) that regulators say plant personnel did not attain complete control and could not prevent some of the acid from reaching the river.
While crews responded acceptably, officials say they've begun a process that could lead to a fine from the state Water Control Board.

HP to Play in Class 6A Next Season
Highland Park will play in the state's largest classification for football and other sports beginning next season.
As part of the UIL's biennial realignment process, HP will be elevated to the new Class 6A for two years starting in the fall of 2014, based on enrollment estimates and figures released by the UIL.
For the first time on Monday, the UIL released conference cutoff numbers in advance of realignment day, using snapshot enrollment numbers submitted by each public school in the state.
HPISD turned in an unofficial snapshot figure of 2,106 students, which is six students above the 6A cutoff line of 2,100. That will make HP one of the smallest 6A schools in the state for the next two years, if not the smallest outright.
The classification divisions, as well as new district alignments, will be made official on Feb. 3.
"We always thought it could be a possibility, based on previous realignments when we were close," said HPISD athletic director Johnny Ringo. "With the growth in our enrollment, we knew that eventually we'd be 6A."
It will be the first time HP has moved up in classification since taking a drop from 5A to 4A in the late 1980s. The school has been one of the largest 4A schools in the state for much of the past 25 years.
"The Scots are always competitive," HPISD Superintendent Dawson Orr said in a statement. "We look forward to the challenge."
Now it becomes likely that HP will face much larger schools from the Dallas area in district play. The four largest schools in the state, located in Plano and Allen, have more than 5,000 students.
"We realize the level of competition will obviously pick up," Ringo said. "We're fully prepared for it."
Neighboring schools likely to move to 6A include Jesuit and Dallas ISD schools such as W.T. White, Sunset, and Skyline.
The new classification would also impact other sports such as basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, golf, and track and field.
The changes will not affect tennis, soccer, swimming, and wrestling, each of which is reclassified separately by the UIL because of the smaller number of participating schools.
9 comments to "HP to Play in Class 6A Next Season"
2,000 vs 5,000 students in the same class? That's just stupid. So let me get this straight: They added a class and there is still that big of a discrepency? Genius.
The 2011-2012 UIL alignment numbers for 4A were 990-2064. Highland Park was in the top 10%. How do you think those schools that were twice as small felt about that? The running joke was that the cut-off for 4A was Highland Park enrollment +5. Here is a link to the actual numbers for all divisions in 2011-2012.
Get ready for some Southlake football (and you thought Aledo was good?)
As the AD said, "Scots are always competitive". And I'll stand by my statement that 2K vs 5K is ridiculous.
As to Southlake, at least we don't bastardize the process by keeping 1 high school football team with 2 high schools. I bet you Plano would be pretty good if they had kept one football team for 3 high schools…
I actually think there will be a benefit in the smaller sports like baseball and basketball – especially in the subvarsity teams. HP always had issues with depth of opponents teams – of them not having enough players/teams to allow us to have full seasons for a B team or a freshman team. This will be a chance for HP to have good competition top to bottom and perhaps a chance for more HP athletes to be a part of the programs!
What happened to 5A? 4A to 6A that is a pretty big jump. I looked at the link that SportsFan provided and it said that SouthLake was in 5A how could we be bigger than Southlake?
Good luck to the Scots if they play Allen or Southlake Carroll etc. in football next season. No more whipping up on the likes of Forney North next year.
Good observation, Silverlining. Many times Terrell couldn't field a freshman team in some sports. The only caveat is if we get in a district with DISD schools. Then we may end up in the same situation.
Curious, the link was for the last realignment two years ago. Southlake will be 6A next year.
This years 5A becomes 6A next year, 4A will be called 5A, etc. They are now calling 6 man 1A. So HP is just going up 1 class.
My point earlier is if your going to change the Classes, why not add a larger one? The difference between 2100 students and 5700 is enormous.
@Curious. "In the UIL's reconfigured classes, the former 4A is now 5A and the old 5A is 6A, so Highland Park is not stepping up two classifications." -Dallas Morning News
