George Lynch (born September 28, 1954) is an American hard rock guitarist and songwriter. Lynch is best known for his work with the bands Dokken, Lynch Mob, and Souls of We. Lynch is considered to be one of the most influential and famous 80's glam metal and hard rock guitarists. He is known for his unique playing style and sound. He is ranked #47 in "100 greatest guitarists of all time" by Guitar World magazine also ranked #10 in "Top 10 Metal Guitarists of All Time" by Gibson
Early life[edit]
Lynch was born in Spokane, Washington and raised in the small town of Auburn, California. Great White guitarist Mark Kendall claims George started two-hand tapping before Eddie Van Halen did.[1] Twice Lynch auditioned for the position of Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist, once in 1979 – losing to Randy Rhoads – and another time in 1982 to replace Brad Gillis. According to Lynch, he was hired for three days before Ozzy changed his mind and decided to go with Jake E. Lee. Lee, however claims that Lynch "got the gig, but only went on the road for two weeks to watch the show, and never actually played with Ozzy." Lynch looks back on the situation positively though; he has said "I won the consolation prize. Randy got to tour with Ozzy...and I got to teach at his mom's school." Lynch played in a late 1970s band called The Boyz, working the Sunset Strip clubs in L.A., alongside some of their contemporaries like Van Halen and Quiet Riot. The Boyz were to play a showcase for Gene Simmons of Kiss and his startup label. Van Halen opened the show and Gene opted not to stay and see The Boyz. After this he formed Xciter before joining Dokken.
Lynch came to fame in the 1980s through his work as the lead guitarist in the band Dokken (of which he had been a member since 1980). Dokken had a string of successful platinum albums such as Under Lock And Key and Back For The Attack, that prominently featured Lynch's inventive lead guitar work and cemented his reputation as a bonafide guitar hero. The instrumental track "Mr. Scary" on Back For The Attack contributed to his popularity among guitar players. The band earned a Grammy nomination for the Best Metal Performance in 1990.
Lynch Mob and Post-Dokken[edit]
In spite of the band's popularity, the group parted ways in March 1989 due to internal tensions with lead vocalist Don Dokken. Lynch formed his own hard rock band Lynch Mob which differed from Dokken in lyrical and guitar complexity, subject matter, song structure, and tuning. Lynch then took time off and his wife had a baby girl, Mariah Lynch. After spending a few years with his family he got back to work. In 1993, Lynch released his first solo album, Sacred Groove.
Reunion with Dokken[edit]
By 1994, after Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson and Mick Brown reunited, they decided to try and bring Lynch back into the fold as well for a true reunion of Dokken. Lynch agreed to put all differences aside to give it a go once more. The reunited version of Dokken was signed to the Columbia/Sony label and after extensive writing, released Dysfunctional. Unfortunately the album did not do as well as expected and the band was dropped from the label. Dokken then signed on with CMC International and released an unplugged show the band performed in late 1994 titled One Live Night. By 1996 the band entered the studio and hired producer Kelly Gray. Gray along with Lynch, Pilson and Brown wanted to take Dokken in a new direction to the dismay of vocalist and founder Don Dokken and released Shadowlife which was a complete switch from melodic rock to a more alternative sound. Lynch still found time to appear at guitar clinics for ESP guitars and attend the annual NAMM Show. By 1997, tensions had again flared between Don and Lynch which led to Lynch being let go from Dokken and replaced by former Europe guitarist John Norum, who had played on Don Dokken's solo efforts.
Reuniting Lynch Mob and after[edit]
This prompted Lynch to call his former Lynch Mob members Oni Logan, Anthony Esposito and Mick Brown for a reunion of Lynch Mob. The group entered the studio and demo-ed 3 songs (later released as an EP titled SYZYGY). However Logan decided to leave the band to pursue other projects before a full album could be completed. Mick Brown decided to stay with Dokken. George organized a short 13 show U.S. tour for Lynch Mob in 1998 with ex-Badlands front man John West (singer) from N.Y., Anthony Esposito and others.
George himself then decided he wanted to take Lynch Mob in a totally new direction influenced by contemporary bands. The Lynch Mob's radical new look and musical approach attracted a younger audience. In 1999 they released the album "Smoke This". After touring in support of "Smoke This" Lynch decided to put Lynch Mob on hold for a couple years, but not until he toured with Lynch Mob's original singer Oni Logan, L.A. Guns' bassist Chuck Garric, and Bulletboys' drummer Jimmy D'Anda in late 2001. In early 2002 George began working with a producer/engineer named Sean Fodor on the ill fated Microdot project which featured then unknown vocalist London LeGrand. Only a few songs from that "lost" project have ever seen the light of day. "Bulldog Tyranny" on "The Lost Anthology" and 3 other songs George later released as "The Lynch That Stole Riffness" with Robert Mason taking the helm on vocals. Then in late 2002, George Lynch decided to reform Lynch Mob with original bassist Anthony Esposito and the singer from their 2nd album Robert Mason. Lynch Mob then recorded an album of re-recorded classic Lynch songs from Dokken and Lynch Mob albums, updated to a more contemporary (post-2000) approach and sound.
He also formed a project with former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson called 'Lynch/Pilson'- Wicked Underground. In 2003 Lynch formed 'The George Lynch Group' in which he has continued to record and regularly tour. The George Lynch Group performed a marathon, 26 shows in 30 days, including a much talked about feature on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The line-up is: George Lynch - Guitars, Andrew Freeman - Vocals, Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio) - Drums, Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden/Starwood/Legacy) - Bass. The 2005's "Furious George" album is a cover album, including classic rock tunes from ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin.
On May 13, 2008, Let the Truth Be Known was released under the band name Souls of We . It features London LeGrand (vocals), Johnny Chow (bass), and Yael (drums).[2] Despite this new band and new album, in the early fall of 2008 Lynch embarked on a tour with a reformed Lynch Mob featuring original singer Oni Logan, bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Tommy Aldridge. A new Lynch Mob album, called Smoke and Mirrors, was released in October 2009 with Logan handling lead vocals.
In 2009 Lynch recorded lead and rhythm guitar tracks for seven songs that appear on the debut album of indie rock singer Raven Quinn. The self-titled album was released March 4, 2010.
Lynch toured the spring of 2010 with Souls of We and will spent the summer and winter touring with Lynch Mob. In the summer of 2010 Souls of We changed their line up and were forced to discontinue with the name. Fan members of the Lynch website are being asked to think up a new name as the project itself will be continuing with a new name and musicians.
Also in 2010, he appeared on a tribute album, Siam Shade Tribute, for Japanese rock band Siam Shade.[3]
George currently lives near Los Angeles where he created an instructional guitar website named the Dojo. Lynch also started making in his own hand made "art" guitars [1] which he makes himself at the ESP Guitars USA custom shop facility.
Second Dokken reunion in 2011 rumor[edit]
On November 29, 2009, during an encore at a Dokken show at The House of Blues in Anaheim, George Lynch and Jeff Pilson joined Mick Brown and Don Dokken for two songs. The "glory days" line-up being on stage together for the first time in 12 years. In early 2010, Lynch announced a reunion of Dokken's glory days line-up. The announcement was followed by a retraction on February 24. A 2011 Reunion was ruled out in late-2010, when Lynch released a statement on his website claiming that Don did not want the reunion to occur.[4]
T & N was formed from 3/4 of the classic Dokken line-up of Lynch, Jeff Pilson, and Mick Brown. In December 2011, they announced plans for a studio album to be released in 2012.[5] The trio's original name was Tooth and Nail, but due to legal issues with another band having already trademarked the name, Tooth and Nail was shortened to T & N in March 2012. They released the album Slave to the Empire on October 31, 2012.
George is currently working with Stryper frontman, Michael Sweet, recording an album in a new band that they are in together. The album is slated to be released in 2015 by Frontiers Records.
Prior to 1986, Lynch used Charvel guitars, most notably the tiger stripe guitars. Lynch has endorsed ESP Guitars since 1986. His unique "Skull and Bones" guitar (affectionately named "Mom") that appeared in the late 1980s was designed and hand-crafted by artist John 'J. Frog' Garcia.[6] Since George was contracted by ESP at the time, an ESP decal was applied to the headstock. Several George Lynch signature guitars have been produced by ESP Japan:
- The Kamikaze model, based on his first ESP guitar
- The Tiger model, a homemade Strat constructed from a stock of parts George bought from Charvel in the 1980s
- The Skull & Snakes, a design later used for the Lynch Mob "Wicked Sensation" album artwork
- The Flame Boy, based on an ESP Forest design
- The New Super V, which includes distressed hardware and features and a new "Super V" pickup
- The Ultra Tone, the first ESP guitar that George designed himself
- The Serpent, an ESP model released and used in the 1990s
He also endorsed the hand-crafted Yamaha L-Series Acoustic Guitars, and used these on the Asian 'Unplugged' Clinic tour May/June 2006.
Lynch is presently signed with ESP Guitars, which has resulted in ESP's creation of the Lynch Jumbo acoustic, featuring graphics designed by Stephen Jensen.
Lynch's use of Marshall, Soldano, Bogner & Diezel amps and effects units to achieve his famous tone is well documented in rock guitar circles. His rig changes with each successive tour. While on tour in 2005, Lynch used the Randall Dragon (non-master volume) tube head for the majority of his sound, the design being similar to the older Marshall Plexi heads he used early in the Dokken era. Lynch is a long-time endorser of Randall Amplification, and participated in the design of the George Lynch Box for Randall's modular amp system.
Seymour Duncan created the Screaming Demon guitar pickup (SH-12 and TB-12) for Lynch, which is featured on all the ESP Lynch signature guitars. Seymour Duncan also recently designed the new Super V pickup to be featured in the Super V model.
He also uses a Morley A/B box called the Tripler, and a limited edition Robert Keeley GL Time Machine boost. In 2008 Zoom released the G2g George Lynch Pedal.
Lynch has designed a new high-nickel content string through the Dean Markley company, with his name on the packaging.[7]
George has cited Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, Jeff Beck and Michael Schenker, along with Eddie Van Halen, Allan Holdsworth, Jan Akkerman, Christopher Parkening, Al Di Meola, Roy Buchanan, Albert King, Frank Marino, Muddy Waters,and Yngwie Malmsteen as being part of his musical influences.[citation needed]

Articulo Mortis Lyrics - Whitechapel
Bludgeoned face. Licking my fingers of decrepit funk
My dear your face is so blank. Where did you get those feelings.
Please don't leave help me live. Can't control myself. Dilated eyes. Pale white skin.
I'm laughing in your face. Your skin entrenches me. Now you're fucking dead
I can't be certain your remains will be insured. Beyond the grave is longer than you think
I saw the first slut mangled in front of me
Of course controlling my actions was not an easy task
It wasn't long before I found myself indulging. Against my will I please myself once more
Breathe. Fucking breathe. I swear you'll reap. While I sew your cunt.
And now you rot...

Setting up Win7 PC as PPTP VPN Proxy Server for use with iPhone
Hey guys,
I've been digging through forums and sites for the past couple months now trying to find a way to help me turn my home PC into a proxy server so I may use Pandora Radio on my iPhone over public WIFI at work. Recently our corporate offices upgraded their network and in turn added a firewall which blocks many common external sites, one of which included Pandora.
I have found a temporary workaround by way of using Hotspot Shield's free VPN services, but I would like to create my own proxy server at home instead so I can avoid the constant timeouts/disconnects involved with the free service.
So far I've set up my PC to use a static IP on the network, and forwarded port 1723 to that address. I've also enabled incoming connections under adapter settings, but it just seems like I'm missing something big here. I am unable to make a connection to my home PC from my iPhone over WAN, and even if I was able to I'm not sure how to enable internet connection sharing over that connection.
Is what I would like to do at all possible or feasible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK, rather than leave a thread hanging... I thought I'd respond to this incase someone else out there was searching on this. I found this thread and was left with a wanting need to solve it... so here it is:
1. Setup PPTP on your windows 7 machine. There are various guides out there, I used this one as it includes a dialogue on forwarding the port on your router: Setup a VPN – PPTP Host On Your Home Windows 7 PC [How-To]
One thing it doesn't cover. When you set the Incoming IP properties, do not allow "assign IP addresses automatically" instead set a range. This caused me hours of troubleshooting to workout.
2. Setup your iPhone for PPTP. Go to (and this is on your iPhone) settings -> general -> network -> (scroll down) VPN -> Add VPN Configuration. Then select PPTP, put a useful description, server (your IP address for your router accessible from the internet, use dyndns or other to make it easy), account is your username on the Windows 7 machine, password is the password for this account (you did set one up right).
The last key is Proxy. This can enable you to route all VPN traffic through your PC. This is the question the original poster is asking for. Try Manual or Auto and see which one works for you.
If you can't connect from the WIFI you are on. Just make sure the port is open (1723).

Today's Windsor Star
How to foil the thieves
After having four bicycles stolen from him in the past two years, Larry Leeder is...
Latest News
Ellis looking beyond Windsor
Defenceman hopes to crack Preds lineup
Bob Duff, The Windsor StarPublished: Wednesday, August 26, 2009
When the Windsor Spitfires begin training camp this season, defenceman Ryan Ellis will be there and he'll be happy to remain in Windsor all season long, but he's got loftier dreams in mind.
Selected 11th overall by the Nashville Predators in last spring's National Hockey League entry draft, even though he's 18 and with two more years of junior eligibility on tap, Ellis first and foremost hopes to make the jump to the show.
"My main goal is to be a Nashville Predator, but if that doesn't happen, I have an unbelievable home in Windsor," Ellis said. "I've got great billets and a great organization to come back to."
A busy summer saw Ellis attend Nashville's prospects camp and the Canadian junior team's summer session, but he's not about to complain over such good fortune.
"There's a lot of travelling," he said. "It gets pretty time-consuming and pretty tiring, but it's doing something that you love, so it's not hard to do. It's not hard to get up in the morning to get on the ice or to catch that early flight, knowing that I have a chance to do this for the rest of my life."
With so many returnees, the Spitfires figure to be Memorial Cup contenders again and that is something that makes Ellis think even more about the bonus should he return to Windsor.
"We know what it took to get there and it's going to take that much more this year, because everyone is going to be gunning for us," he said.
As players drifted back into town in the past week for Saturday's Memorial Cup ring ceremony and the opening of camp for the 2009-10 Ontario Hockey League season, acquaintances were renewed and in some cases, farewells were made. "You lose touch throughout the summer," Spitfires centre Eric Wellwood said. "You only get to talk to some of the guys once a month pretty much. There's been a lot of reminiscing. It's nice to do. We're all going to move on. People are going to go to different places. I'm sure everybody's glad to be together right now."
Goaltender Andrew Engelage, his junior eligibility used up, admitted to some mixed emotions as he visited Windsor for the last time as a Spitfire.
"It's a little bit emotional, but I couldn't go off on a better note," Engelage said. "It's a pretty exciting way to go out. It's kind of sad that it's the last time as a team that we'll get together. A bunch of these guys are my buddies. There's five or six of them who live within 10-15 minutes of me, so I know I'll see them quite often."
The same held true for captain Harry Young, who heads off to training camp with the New Jersey Devils next month.
"I didn't see a lot of these guys all summer," Young said. "This is really the end for this team. A lot of guys are coming back next year, but there's a lot of goodbyes, too."

An aide to former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she was approached by a firm helping Penn State look for a new president, but she wasn't interested.
Rice's chief of staff Georgia Godfrey confirmed the overture.
Godfrey said Rice's office declined on her behalf because she plans to remain at Stanford University.
Penn State is looking for someone to succeed Rodney Erickson, who plans to leave the job at the end of June.
Rice is a political science professor and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers says the search firm "is reaching out pretty broadly."

CRM – Market Implications and Trends in 2014
- Posted on December 3rd, 2013
- 0
Customer relationship management or commonly known as CRM refers to all business communications and is typically based on the people involved, business processes and the current technologies being used. CRM not only bridges gaps between different business units and customers but also makes it easy to access as well as share information. Many large businesses and SMBs around the globe are making use of software tools to track deals, create sales pipelines, manage contacts and interact with customers on a single platform. In June, Gartner made 2017 market forecast for CRM to sharply increase to $37 billion, a $16 billion rise from this year. This means that not only the use of CRM software will exponentially increase but the tools for businesses to effectively connect with their customers will also evolve in the near future.
What CRM Buyers' Want?
A number of market trends and implications of these trends on CRM vendors have been recorded this year. You can also find a number of articles as well as blogs about such recent CRM trends. Software Advice however, conducted a survey among the prospective CRM buyers to analyze the upcoming trends in the CRM market and came up with a CRM Software BuyerView report for the year 2013 to uncover what an average CRM buyer expects from a CRM software. This report argues that although the original motive behind CRM solutions was increasing operational efficiency in a work environment, today the effectiveness of such a solution is translated in terms of sales conversion and actual revenue generated from these sales. Similarly, cloud-based deployment model, sales automation and efficient contact management are now, among the most desired features in a CRM solution.
Market Trends
As Paul Greenberg, Owner of The 56 Group, LLC mentions that the ultimate goal for small businesses is sales automation and lead generation. However, large enterprises are now more focused on competitor and sales analysis, therefore they require a state-of-the-art marketing automation capability from a CRM solution. On the ground, these customer requirements can be translated into capabilities such as personalization, analytics and a CRM system which works with social and other forms of data to streamline customer service efforts.
A number of market trends can be derived from this survey but the most important ones for CRM vendors, in my opinion, are as follows:
1. Mobile CRM:
Techcrunch recently reported that the use of mobile apps is on the rise and has surpassed web browsing on desktops over the span of just three years. Customers around the world are using Smartphones for everyday communication as well as workplace collaboration. Therefore, businesses are also moving towards mobile-based CRM solutions so that not only your sales, marketing and other project teams are on the same page but also have access to customer information anywhere, at any time. With cloud-based CRM solutions and mobile connectivity, customers will have an extraordinary experience which will help businesses build loyalty.
2. Social CRM:
According to the IBM Institute for Business Value, Social CRM is the new frontier for businesses. With the integration of social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin with techniques such as online collaboration, email marketing and information sharing, a new generation of CRM services is created where customers as well as businesses can mutually benefit from the ongoing practice. Businesses can use social media as a platform to communicate with the customers by setting social sites for feedback and closely monitor the customer experience. Similarly, with direct social contact with the business, customers can feel free to share information about the likes and dislikes about the products and services.
3. CRM Analytics:
CRM Analytics is one of the best practices of making intelligent business decisions. It employs data mining, customer data analysis and personalization to ensure a real time view into sales, marketing and customer service performance of any business. Having an opportunity to process data in real-time will allow businesses to grow powerful as well as connect with each customer immediately. With personalization feature, businesses can manage as well as improve customer satisfaction. CRM analytics help organizations to not only invest in tools for gaining new customers but also perform competitor analysis to create more accurate sales forecasts based on facts/statistics.
Based on these forecasts and market implications, Banckle is also determined to provide customers with easy to use and intelligent customer service tools such as Banckle CRM. It ensures powerful management of tasks, contacts, deals, email integration and online collaboration among geographically divided teams. It also provides additional features such as reporting, sales analytics, pipeline management as well as customization.

By coincidence, only a few days before I wrote my most recent blog post on use of evidence to improve outcomes in emergency rooms after the Boston Marathon bombings and to reduce binge drinking at Dartmouth College, a memo came out from OMB Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell and three others in the White House about next steps in the evidence and innovation agenda. (Raise your hand if you didn't know there was an evidence agenda.)
Regardless of whether the "evidence agenda" in the White House is well-known, this memo is good news, in two respects. First, evidence is a good thing to help us make decisions. This statement is not necessarily as uncontroversial as it might sound. In political debates, Republicans have often been averse to evidence about phenomena in the natural world (climate change or evolution), while Democrats have often been averse to evidence about government programs, out of a worry that gathering evidence might show a lack of impact.
There is a second piece of good news in the memo as well. Traditionally, those promoting the use of evidence in government have often insisted somewhat dogmatically on what are often very expensive, long-duration, hard-to-execute randomized controlled trials to test the impact of government programs. (In such a trial, program results for people who are randomly assigned to receive a certain government intervention are compared with those who do not. In another form, people who planned to participate but didn't are compared with those who planned to participate and did.)
The new memo, though it still seems to assign special status to such forms of evidence, also notes that companies are increasingly using "quick experiments" that in a fast and inexpensive way test much smaller interventions – the classic example would be different wordings on websites or in letters to people to see which produce a better response. These are particularly suitable for management interventions in workplace practices. They use the same principle of random assignment, but at less cost and time.
But econometric analyses, which use existing data rather than organizing new experiments, can also provide valuable evidence, though they are subject to more methodological worries than random experiments and hence their results are more subject to debate among researchers. Even the kinds of benchmarking studies used by organizations can be helpful, though often a smaller sample size and difficulty in drawing good conclusions about what makes one unit a good performer and another a bad one make conclusions from benchmarking more uncertain.
People who don't like the conclusions that evidence-based studies reach often prefer to shoot the messenger. Yes, there are poorly designed studies sponsored by advocates, intended to produce an outcome favorable to the product or idea being promoted. Yes, there are often disagreements even among scholars about conclusions from studies, though these occur less often with experimental studies, whether random controlled trials or quick experiments. Yes, sometimes it is hard to gather data. And of course there are still values questions left in policy and management choices – is a program with a small impact for a fairly large cost worth it or not?
But surely using data to help inform these decisions is better than the alternatives, which dominate our political and governmental choices. So the OMB memo is to be welcomed.

The fly in the 'evidence' ointment is that thsi view tends to drive policy in directions that are most easily measured. Example: It is easy to measure how kids retain facts; it is much harder to measure more complex intellectual tasks. The 'evidence' theme thus drives us to making those kids fact-retainers rather than thinkers. Many of the most important aspects of intelligent govt. policy involves things we don't know how to measure very well.
Thanks for this comment on pilots. This difference between quick experiments and pilots is that quick experiments have a control group (untreated or different treatment), while pilots usually don't. So you can compare two different kinds of message formats, or compare one group exposed to something and another group that isn't.
In the R&D world, this is called conducting a pilot.... where you quickly, cheaply, and on a small scale test an idea. If it succeeds, you adjust and conduct a larger demonstration. This applies for both airplanes, iPads, and Gmail.

Big rain storms rolled into California today. Late November can be a very colourful time of year, when the trees are bright yellow, fiery orange, deep reds, and leaves flutter down on every breeze. When the storms come it blows everything around, meaning what would otherwise be a grey and dismal day was in fact a beautiful, I mean really beautiful stormy morning. I walked to a meeting mid-morning, and could have walked on all day in the rain. The ground was covered in bright leaves, like a dusting of golden snow. I don't have a window in my office so I can't gaze dreamily out at the rain (I have to draw a picture of it on my whiteboard), but I can hear it on the skylight, tap-tap-tap, and by lunchtime it was pounding. I couldn't wait to get back out, find a sheltered spot, and draw the colourful storm while it lasted. I listened to a history podcast about England's medieval conquest of Wales and drew in the Moleskine. It's funny, whenever it rains here people are often, oh no, rain, I don't want to get my raincoat slightly wet in the brief dash from my car to Target, whereas I'm like, oh it's just a bit of rain, grrr. So I scribbled down this cartoon in my notepad this afternoon. Thought you might like it.

autumn at the art center
(click on the image for a larger version)
Last Sunday was the November "Let's Draw Davis" sketchcrawl, in the conveniently-located-across-the-street-from-me Community Park. Since it had been prophesied to be a cold day, only a few of us showed up, greeted by crisp autumn sunshine and blazing fall colours. after a very quick 'people' sketch or two I set to work on a panorama. The previous Friday evening I had attended a fun event at the Davis Art Center called the 'Arty Party', in which there was lots of drawing, some drinking and eating, and I even won a game of Pictionary, a game I've not played in a couple of decades, surprisingly. It was nice to get out and be social and talk to people about art, and in fact they will be selling some cards of my drawings in their annual Holiday Sale (Nov 30-Dec 2), including a recent one of the Art Center. I was talking about how I'd never drawn the building before, because it wasn't an easy one to draw – trees in the way, lots of angles, it had always seemed very difficult. And then almost as soon as I had said it, I said to myself, difficult, huh? Really? So I determined to give it another go. I liked my first version – it says 'Davis Art Center' on it – but really wanted the panoramic version in my Moleskine sketchbook. I stood in the sunshine for just over two hours (my wife even came by and brought me a sandwich!) and sketched away. I started in the middle and worked my way outwards.
I didn't end up doing any more sketches on the sketchcrawl (I popped back home to call my Mum in England and have a cup of tea), but met with the group at the library afterwards, where we all showed off our sketches. In the end I think about eight people came, which was pretty good for a cold day (though it wasn't cold, really California, really..). Next one will be in mid-December, when it might really be cold…let's keep drawing Davis!
Finally, here is the drawing of Davis Art Center I started on location before I went to Portland (and finished when I got back), showing the main entrance and part of a sculpture in the foreground. I love this place, they do a lot of good for our artistic community in Davis, and long may they do so.
a sense of community
Last week we held our November 2011 'Let's Draw Davis!' sketchcrawl, up at Community Park. It was a pleasant Fall day (and I had not yet heard about the previous day's pepper spray incident), Turkey Trotters were out running across Davis, the park was full of autumnal colours and temperatures were not too cold, at least not for the first hour or so (after which it started to get chilly). The regular Davis sketchers were joined by several new faces, mostly from Davis, but also one, Portland Urban Sketcher Linda Daily, whom I had met up in Portland at last year's Symposium.
We started off by drawing around the Davis Art Center and the amazing wooden playground Rainbow City. It's a completely community-built playground, one of the greater examples of epic community work in Davis. One of the other sketchers, Landon, told me that he in fact had helped make it when he was a child. There I am below sketching with the little Scully.
I sketched some people; still practising my people sketches. Below are (top row, left to right): Allan Hollander from Davis (I've sketched Allan before a few times), Landon Christensen from Davis, Marlene Lee from Davis (another sketchcrawl regular). Bottom row, left to right, are: Salvador Castio from Stockton, Linda daily from Portland, and Jennica from Davis.
After some more park sketchng (I drew these old playground pieces; perhaps these used to be City and UCD fire hydrants in former lives, judging by their colours), we met up at the library, where we warmed up and chatted about sketching. I also showed off my library display. It's so great to meet other sketchers, and see their books and their tools, and learn about their approach or reason for doing this. That's the point of the sketchcrawls! And for me they're always learning experiences.
of mists and mellow fruitfulness
This is Mrak Hall, the big powerful building at the heart of UC Davis. I have drawn this view a few times before, and in December too, because the leaves on these trees turn glorious colours at this time of year. This was a lunchtime sketch, a moment of much needed calm in the busy busy time of year.
the e street strummer
He stands outside Chipotle and Peet's Coffee n E Street, busking on his twelve-string at lunchtimes when I am there, sounding like Dylan, Nelson, Haggard; his music is very nice. He has one of those harmonicas you can play while guitaring; no cymbals at the knees though. Very distinctive with his long white hair, moustache, sunglasses; he has a long feather in his hat. One of the characters of Davis. He was singing a song about watercoloured wine while I was drawing this, munching on my burrito. It was cold outside; November is really kicking in. The Fall Colours have just exploded all around us, the trees have suddenly turned the colour of flames, and there's no way I'll keep up with them.
one falling leaf does not an autumn make
#28 of 30… the autumn of the series, "I hold my pen in an unusual way". This is how it was last weekend. May be about a hundred today though. When it's a hundred out that means it is still Summer, according to the Wikipeteia. One leaf does not an autumn make. Even so, the halloween candy is in the store. I love autumn, season of changes; but changes can sometimes be a pain, sometimes it is nice when yesterday is like today. I'm just looking forward to when I can wear nice warm jumpers again. I have so many, and yet I live in the scorching Central Valley.
thousands of colours all fade into one
The Belfry on A street (the street of the indefinite article). The colours of a blooming autumn (or whatever other expletive you wish to use). We are now foggy and grey so these enormous splashes of colour make a world of difference. I have drawn this building before of course, back in March, when the leaves that are now in the autumn or even winter of their lives were barely even buds. And look, I have drawn vehicles; I daresay there were probably vehicles parked here in the original, but I peteshopped them out. At least you can see the building in the original though.
I don't know if there are any bats in this belfry. I remember when I first moved to Davis, and I read online about the bats of Yolo county, and how rabies was endemic in them. Yeah, that didn't completely scare me. Funny things, bats. Their leathery wings always, for some reason, remind me of Lovejoy.

text: Good morning! I have some questions about bow refinishing. I've got three bows (2 oak longbows and 1 single wood longbow) that I need to finish. I've heard conflicting opinions about linseed oil, so I'm not sure what to use on them before I put the polyurethane. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions and tips for me, I've finished some arrows but never the bows, and if there's anything I need to watch out for when I'm doing. Thank you for your time.

Nope.None that I can remember. I had friends that did, and would be making out their lists. I look through the sales papers, but, usually don't find anything that I'd want to get up early in the morning for, or would have to work and couldn't make it to them.
But now, its not about not wanting to get up early in the morning for, it's about not wanting to get hurt over. I think I'm to weak for those crowd. I don't have it in me to knock someone over just to get to something I want. I stand back and say if its that important to you, go get it.
I don't know....these past couple of years when watching the news about it, It just makes me shake my head at the craziness of people over items.
Although, I do realize these are very good prices, but still. I think no matter how much money I can save on something, I just couldn't fight the crowd. I'd be laying on the floor trampled on and I know it. And if I trampled on somebody, I'd be so mad at myself and feel guilty if I did get the item.
It's just best I stay away from it.

FORT WORTH — Two shopping malls in Arlington and Fort Worth were evacuated within about a half-hour Tuesday afternoon, one for a small ammonia leak and the other for a bogus bomb scare, officials said.The Parks in Arlington, which had the ammonia leak, was briefly evacuated, but the bomb scare at Hulen Mall in Fort Worth took about 30 minutes to clear, said Debra Martinez, marketing manager for both malls.Both malls are owned by Chicago-based General Growth Properties, Martinez said.The ammonia leak at the Parks' ice rink was reported about 2:30 p.m., according to the Arlington Fire Department.Martinez said that ammonia is commonly used to maintain ice rinks, and that repair workers found the leak and quickly repaired it."The sensor was very sensitive and picked it up," Martinez said. "It automatically sets off the evacuation system, so we evacuated the entire mall.""But it wasn't for very long. I bet we were outside there for only 10 minutes, 15 maybe."The bomb scare at Hulen Mall was reported about 3:10 p.m., Fort Worth firefighters reported.Martinez said that only the stores between the center court and Sears were evacuated while the Fire Department bomb squad searched for danger, but none was found."Someone had a bomb threat in a very specific area inside the store, so they just evacuated that area," Martinez said. "The bomb squad checked it out and it was all clear." That process took about 30 minutes, she said.

By clay WilsonOnce upon a time, the acronym "PDA" stood for "public display of affection," and blackberries were used to make pies and jams. But in the Internet age, a "PDA" is a personal digital assistant, and Blackberrys can come in handy for getting people out of jams. As computer and wireless networks continue to evolve, the vehicles for using such technologies continue to get smaller. In the past few years, PDAs and Blackberrys hand-held, computerized personal organizers and Internet-based communications devices have become more and more popular. Indeed, to hear some aficionados tell it, they have become practically indispensable. "My whole life is in that thing," said Stockbridge resident Ray Hudalla. The chairman of the Henry County Board of Education, Hudalla often brings out his Palm M-130 PDA during board meetings to check his calendar, jot down notes or make a to-do list. "It is the greatest thing," he said. Hudalla said he once used the 1990s power business tool the notebook-style day planner. But it would frequently become "crammed full of junk and garbage," he said. Then, about four years ago, a friend who had also fought the battle of the planner bulge introduced Hudalla to a PDA. After a period of resistance followed by hesitant trial, Hudalla got hooked. Now he uses his PDA to organize his personal, family and school board calendars, as an electronic address and phone book, to take notes and to "beam" "Documents to Go" such as Word files to compatible PDAs. And that's just a sampling of what today's PDAs can do. The Internet mega-store Amazon.com lists about 150 kinds of PDA, ranging in price from $19.99 to more than $900. Hudalla says that his is "not top-of-the-line, but it's not the most basic, either." A Palm M-130 such as Hudalla's allows its user to "sync" with an Internet-capable desktop or laptop computer to send and retrieve e-mails and access limited Internet content. However, more recent "wi-fi," or wireless, technology allows PDAs to access the Internet or e-mail servers remotely. The "Blackberry" brand of handhelds are often associated with the e-mail function. Blackberry's Web site bills the products as "the leading wireless enterprise solution that allows users to stay connected with secure, wireless access to email, corporate data, phone, web and organizer features." The site also lists companies and organizations that use Blackberrys companies such as investment giant Salomon Smith Barney and organizations such as the Department of Defense. Other PDA types offer wireless capabilities, and Reid Burch, manager of network services at Southern Regional Medical Center, uses one of these. Burch has a Palm Tungsten C. He said that while most of SRMC's Information Technology employees mainly use the organizational capacities of PDAs, he also uses his to communicate with the office while he's away. He even uses it to keep in touch with colleagues while he's in meetings within the hospital. He estimated that he uses his PDA to communicate with co-workers at least 10 times each day. "I take my (PDA) with me pretty much everywhere when I'm at work," he said. "If I lost it or didn't have one, I'd be in a world of hurt." Rob Beall, president of McIntosh State Bank in Locust Grove, said his PDA's "sync" feature which also allows its contents to be uploaded onto a desktop or laptop computer has saved him from a world of hurt before. He said that once he dropped his PDA in a parking lot, and it shattered to pieces. Fortunately, though, he had recently "backed up" the information to his desktop computer. The ability to back up information, Beall said, is "critical, because I have had a PDA completely fail on me, and you're dead in the water if you depend on it heavily." Beall said he uses his Sony Clie to store hundreds of phone numbers and addresses, remind him (with alarms) of appointments and tasks, and download maps and news stories. It can even download the "joke of the day," he said. Like Hudalla's, Beall's PDA downloads from the ?Net while it "syncs" with a desktop or laptop computer. But Beall indicated that he doesn't miss having wireless Internet capability. "I don't find that necessary, really," he said. "I'm pleased that mine helps me to get to appointments on time, and having so many names and phone numbers (immediately available) is a valuable resource." Besides, Beall said he's been using electronic organizers for about eight years since the time when they were "basically electronic address book(s). "They've come a long way since then," he said.

A little about me...
I am caring respectful I can see positives even in negative situations. I love to talk and share feelings and also like quiet times together. I love animals and nature. I like talking situations out versus angry words. I am not judgemental. Enjoy playful fun. There is so much to learn about life and people and I love it.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for a respectful trustful verbally open and romantic man. A person who calmly faces situations of stress. A sense of humour is a big plus and fairly good looking but personality is important especially to have that chemistry with each other. One who enjoys movies tv walking quiet times and get togethers with friends. I love attending live concerts, and festivals. Family is important both of ours. To be fairly intelligent not expecting a professor. A person who loves animals and my cats. To have support and I would be equally supportive. I would like a non smoker and one who drinks very little to non at all.
I'd just like to add...
To have that chemsitry with one another I believe is very important than a couple can have the strength to face any thing together. I have been told I must have young genes in my family for I am very lucky to look younger than my age. I am not vain but I enjoy keeping my self in shape.

Red Ribbon Week
The Young Marines take pride in providing continuous training on Drug Prevention to it's members. Use this week to give DDR classes to non-Young Marines, read up on what it takes to achieve the DEA device and if you meet the requirements, submit the completed packet to Mr. Gurley for review. Even if you don't get all 4 required classes in for the device, the message you are sending to your students in the classes you DO give, will last them a lifetime. Reach out and make a difference Speedway! - Mr. Hulett
As the Adult Leaders and some parents and Young Marines are starting to figure out, Mr. Hulett was trying to automatically qualify and issue you your awards as you became eligible. This was great for YOU, stressful for him.
To avoid Mr. Hulett getting stressed out or forgetting your award, you will now need to turn in a Ribbon Submission form (below) for any award you believe you are eligible for. If it is a Unit Qualification (like Fire prevention training or Marksmanship) you do NOT need to do this, this is only for the ribbons you believe you have qualified for, outside of normal Unit Functions. Please turn all these forms into Mrs. Hulett for verification. YOU (the Young Marine) will need to sign it, have Mrs. Hulett sign it and then get it to Mr. Gurley for final approval.
Please follow the procedures on the form, as well as the SOP (on the 'get involved page')
As you could probably already tell, Community Service is a very important part of being a Young Marine. Some Young Marines think that once they get their 50 hours of community service in 12 months, and get that ribbon, they are finished. We at Speedway Young Marines consider serving our community, an honor and are proud to say that even though we are only the third largest Unit in Indiana, we had over 3200 hours of combined community service hours last year, smoking the other, larger Units in the State by at least 500 hours.
We pride ourselves in helping others and intend on beating our own record in 2014. If you are a Speedway Young Marine or are having a Speedway Young Marine do some community service for you, please click on the below form, fill it out, get it signed and turn it in. We will log all valid hours in the database.
If, within a week you do NOT see your "submitted" hours in your recordbook (online), please get with Mrs. Hulett to inquire. Also, it is suggested that you maintain a log of what you've turned in, just in case a form is misplaced. It doesnt happen very often but it does happen so please consider keeping and having us initial the below log.
Our next shoot is: Saturday, October 25th from 1500 - 1700. This will be an important shoot to attend. We will have a certified rifle instructor and Danville Police Officer there to run everyone through a rifle safety class. You will NOT be required to pay the $5 range fee for this shoot. Any cost associated with this class will be covered by the Unit for all Young Marines. This class will NOT get you a hunter's safety certification but will qualify you for the Marksmanship ribbon through Young Marines.
Indy Honor Flight 8 will be on November 8th at Plainfield High School. Please be there at 18:30 (6:30pm), in your INSPECTION uniforms. (That means ribbons and white tee-shirts, shined boots, fresh haircuts, the works).
We have been to ALL 7 previous Honor Flights and will continue to support and attend each and every one. It's a true honor to welcome these Heroes home. This does count for Community Service.
The Speedway Young Marines is a PREMIERE Youth organization for boys AND girls, ages 8 through the completion of high-school. Our primary focus is DISCIPLINE, LEADERSHIP and TEAMWORK. We believe that discipline begins in the home and is reinforced by positive influence and a healthy, DRUG-FREE lifestyle. Speedway Young Marines was awarded BOTH the Marine Corps League's Unit Commendation award AND the Young Marine Unit Commendation from National Headquarters in Washington DC for 2013. The *Young Marine Unit Commendation award speaks volumes for the Unit to which it is awarded and we will continue to strive to make the best possible environment for you and your kids. We ARE the best youth organization around, sign up and we'll prove it to you.
Our next 'Boot-Camp' starts in January 2015.
* "The Young Marine Unit Commendation is awarded to the Unit that Distinguish themselves by performing extreme meritorious service
rendering the unit outstanding compared to other units performing
similar service". - YM Awards manual

Semper Fi Columbus, we really had a great time.
