SIGNUM x DANDY DIARY in FACES Magazine
After the whole Austria found out about our SIGNUM x DANDY DIARY shirt, Switzerland followed.
In our beloved FACES Magazine you can find our very first designer piece under the "Must Have" title which we can sign up outright.
Our southern neighbours seem to be sylish magazine makers. Might just be that both mountain peoples just have greater affinity for leaves and nature.That would also be okay.
In any case, we're saying: Thank you, FACES!

After Transition to ADIDAS: NIKE is suing three Ex-Employees for 10 Million Dollars
A few weeks ago, it was announced that three of the most important shoe-designers at NIKE are going to transit to ADIDAS. The hard bitch-move, on NIKE's costs, had an effect:
NIKE is suing the designers Marc Dolce, Mark Miner and Denis Dekovic for, all in all, 10 million US-dollars. The accusation is that they have already been consulting ADIDAS while working at NIKE and stole company kept secrets, like the design for a new shoe-model and gave it to their new employer.
It is also interesting, that the three were accused of stealing documents from NIKEs 'kitchen', the strictly kept-secret design-lab that NIKE is running in Beaverton (Oregon, USA). A similar design-house is suppose to be build by Dolce, Miner and Dekovic, beginning in September 2015, for ADIDAS in Brooklyn. Coincidence? Well.
Insiders therefore suppose that ADIDAS is going to carry the costs for the trial, direct or indirect. Because even for a top-designer, 10 million dollars are a lot of cash, it is only a mild fart in the hand of ADIDAS.
The Portland Business Journal has created, based on the plaint by NIKE, a chronology of the incidents, which could also be a great screen-play for a nerve-racking economy-thriller:
October 3, 2005: Nike hires Dolce as senior designer for Active Life. He signs a non-compete and secrecy agreement.
November 2005: Nike hires Dekovic as a senior designer.
2007: Nike promotes Dolce to design director for Nike Sportswear.
March 2008: Nike hires Miner as a footwear designer in Women's Training. He signs a secrecy agreement.
2011: Nike promotes Miner to senior footwear designer for running. He signs a non-compete agreement.
2012: Nike starts a $1.5 million effort known as "Keep It Tight" to prevent leaks of confidential information.
February 7, 2012: Nike promotes Dekovic to design director for Global Football (soccer). He signs a non-compete agreement. Dekovic also signed a secrecy agreement on April 16, 2007.
2014: Nike promotes Dekovic to senior design director.
March 2014: Brian Foresta, Adidas vice president of design for global basketball, contacts Dolce andDekovic to "discuss professional careers," according to Nike.
April 2014: Nike claims the designers start a "plot" to leave and take trade secrets. Nike further claimsDekovic, Dolce and Miner bought "thousands of phony social media followers" in order to create "false perception of buzz and popularity" and make themselves more attractive to future employers.
April 29, 2014: Dekovic tells Miner and Dolce to use his personal email address for further communications, according to Nike.
May 18, 2014: Dekovic and Dolce agree on a plan to pay for Instagram and Twitter followers, according to Nike.
May 2014: Nike agrees to pay more than $50,000 in relocation expenses so Dekovic can more his family to Italy. Nike quotes an electronic communication from Dekovic in which he says Italy is one of those "countries where (Nike's) non compete is difficult to enforce."
June 2014: Dekovic, Dolce and Miner are "fully engaged" in discussions with officials at Adidas to start a design center modeled after Nike's innovation lab, which is known as the Kitchen, according to Nike.
June 2014: Dekovic, Dolce and Miner start work for Adidas as consultants while still employed at Nike, according to Nike.
June 29, 2014: Dekovic meets with Adidas Vice President Brian Foresta to talk about the design center.
June 2014: Dekovic, Dolce and Miner raise concerns about legal consequences of consulting for Adidas, according to Nike.
June 21, 2014: Dekovic sends a copy of his Nike non-compete agreement to Adidas.
July 2014: Dekovic and his family move to Italy.
Aug. 22, 2014: Adidas presents Dekovic, Dolce and Miner "lucrative" employment offers, according to Nike.
September 16, 2014: Dekovic copies hard drive of his Nike-issued laptop, according to Nike.
September 19, 2014: Dolce emails confidential Nike design plans to his personal email account, according to Nike.
September 22, 2014: Last day of employment for Dekovic, Dolce and Miner at Nike.
December 8, 2014: Nike files $10 million lawsuit for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets, among other claims.
DANDY DIARY x KANGAROOS 'Streaker Sneaker' – Voo Store Launch
No-Go: Coat Slinging!
A few years ago, streetstyle-experts started wearing their jackets or coats around their shoulders, instead of putting their arms through their sleeves. The technical term for that is 'coat slinging'.
Recently, the german newspaper BUNTE (!) reported about the styling-trend. 'Coat slinging' therefore officially became a 'no-go'. So: dear friends with good taste, please stick your arms in your sleeves from now on.
Because a sleeve without an arm, is like Justin O'Shea without Veronika, like Cara Delevigne without eyebrows: somehow not complete.
In 2008, Scott Schuman (aka: The Sartorialist) has revealed the first case of 'coat slinging' on his blog, afterwards an epidemic broke out, from which the fashion-world still has not recovered.
It has been enough: put your jackets on properly again! Otherwise you appear like a gay fashion-journalist from 2010 (who would put his arms into sleeves nowadays)

Marion Tuu'luq
Canadian, 1910–2002
Thirty Faces, 1974
wool felt, embroidery floss, thread on wool stroud on wool
141 x 124 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Marion Tuu'luq was the wife of respected Baker Lake artist Luke Anguhadluq, and over the years her drawings and textiles have come to be as well recognized as her husband's graphic art. The couple moved to Baker Lake in 1961, and Tuu'luq was one of the first women to make wall hangings in a sewing project between 1966 and 1967. In 1969 she began using coloured beads to create designs in clothing, and the stylized, geometric patterns carried over to her wall hangings. A motif that reoccurs in her fabric designs is the abstract human head, as seen in this work, which also reveals her tendency toward formalized compositions with repetition of motifs and colours. Tuu'luq's art was featured in a solo exhibition, Marion Tuu'luq, and a tour organized by the National Gallery of Canada in 2002.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Bernie Ecclestone believes having Kimi Raikkonen on the Formula One grid is good for the team he is racing for and good for the sport.
Having made his return to Formula One in 2012 with Lotus, Raikkonen impressed many in the paddock.
However, it was his form this season that really caught Ecclestone's attention.
Starting the Championship with a race victory in Australia, Raikkonen added a further seven podium results to his tally.
His season, though, was cut short when the Finn, who had well documented money trouble with his Lotus team, sat out the final two races needing back surgery.
"This year I suppose I have to call Kimi the star driver, with the equipment he had," GPUpdate.net reports Ecclestone as having said a foreword to the official 2013 season review.
"I think he was motivated on hope that he was going to get paid.
"He's a good guy to have in a team, good for us, good for the team. He's super, he's a racer."
Raikkonen will be back in action next season but with Ferrari.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Whispering Feather Rectangle Invitations I absolutely love my invitations! I ordered these for my summer wedding because they looked classy yet modern and summery! I chose the dusty rose color and I love how it looks. The look and feel of the invitation is really perfect. It took less than a week for me to put in the order and receive my package. When I ordered my RSVP cards in a different color, MagnetStreet's customer service emailed me to make sure that's what I wanted and even though I did want that, I really appreciate them taking the time to double-check with me!
Simple and yet Sweet Card
Whispering Feather Rectangle Invitations We had used Magnet street for our save the dates and then again for our wedding invitations. Again I can say Magnet street was very professional and prompt with their services. It was easy to change the font and colors to what we wanted. We received our simple and yet sweet invitation we wanted!
Beautiful Invitations
Whispering Feather Foldover Pockets These are simply beautiful invitations. I've had so many compliments on them! I changed the coloring to a hunter green color scheme which worked perfectly. Easy to put together too!

26.2 miles of grimaces and smiles to the finish
BY MITCH DUDEK, FRANCINE KNOWLES, AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters October 7, 2012 7:30AM

Article Extras
Updated: November 9, 2012 6:16AM
Like extras in a zombie movie, thousands of bent over, hobbling runners — some dragging one leg or the other — shuffled through Grant Park Sunday after finishing the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
Grimaces and smiles alternated across the faces of 37,455 finishers — a new record. And the number of starters, 38,535 also was a record.
"I'm a little scared to take off my shoe," said Anne Fuchs, 32, in a post-race interview.
"I'm down to eight and a half toenails…One of them was surgically removed, so it's quite painful," added Fuchs, of Uptown, who had run three previous marathons and was ecstatic about beating her goal of 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Perhaps the biggest smile of all belonged to Tsegaye Kebede, the 110 pound Ethiopian who set a course record of 2:04:38. The previous course record was set last year by Kenyan Moses Mosop, who ran a 2:05:37.
Atsede Baysa, also from Ethiopia, won the women's division in 2:22:03 in a photo finish. Both took home a $100,000 prize.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators lined the 26.2 mile route that passed through 29 neighborhoods.
And in a sport that provides safe harbor to the eccentric and self-described insane both were well represented.
A random sampling: a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart impersonator. A man dressed as a spotted cow with an udder who drew many "moos" from the crowd. The guy who runs and juggles at the same time ran again this year.
In hopes of attracting an employer, would-be music promoter Mike Castellucci, 23, of Haldon, New Jersey, ran with an oversized replica of his resume on his back.
The antics, however, weren't limited to the racecourse.
A group of husbands from Indianapolis waved a flag pole with a gigantic pair of red satin underpants — a sort of undergarment lighthouse to grab the attention of their wives, who were running together.
One snafu in an otherwise seemingly smooth day occurred when officials ran out of medals, leaving about 1,300 late finishers without the cherished memento.
"We are in the process of contacting these individuals in order to provide them with their [medals] as soon as possible and we are currently working on it," said race spokesman Jeremy Borling.
Ten runners were hospitalized, including a 47-year-old man who went into cardiac arrest in the 21st mile. The man gained consciousness after medical personnel performed CPR and shocked the man twice with a defibrillator. He was taken to Mercy Hospital where he was alert and speaking with doctors, said race director Carey Pinkowski. The number of runners hospitalized was about 50 to 60 percent fewer than in recent years.
Cool temperatures ranging in the 40s and 50s were ideal conditions for many runners and a welcome change from last year's race day temps that neared 80 degrees.
Carlos Jaramillo, who captained the aid station in the heart of Pilsen near the 19-mile marker, said the chillier weather meant runners were on the whole a lot less thirsty.
"Last year, many runners grabbed two cups at a time. This year, usually just one," Jaramillo said.
Layers of extra clothes, especially gloves, littered parts of the race course. The discarded apparel will be collected and donated to the Pacific Garden Rescue Mission.
Tom McShane was running in support of a sick friend, Brian Egan, who has cancer. McShane, 58, of Oak Park, has run 19 marathons and describes himself as just "a little insane" to keep running such long races.
"My run was slow but great," he said. "I'm getting older, I'm getting heavier and I'm still running against the wind."
McShane says he does a lot of his training on Sundays with his buddies, taking breaks at various churches along the way.
"If we hit five churches, that's one mass," he joked.
The race filled to capacity of 45,000 registered runners in a record of six days, drawing participants from 50 states and 115 countries. It took 35 weeks for the race to fill up as recently as 2003.

Hello all,
I thought it might be a good idea to transfer references to one of my favourite topics from elsewhere to here:
Samvega means a sense of urgency to escape the round of meaningless existence; and pasada, a clarity and serene confidence that allows one to proceed confidently towards the goal without lapsing into despair.
I am fairly certain samvega doesn't mean panic or anxiety attacks, or any strong uncontrolled emotion ~ but something like a steady and focused determination ....
Suttas about Samvega:
Samyutta Nikaya III.25 Pabbatopama Sutta 'The Simile of the Mountains'
Nipata II.10 Utthana Sutta 'On Vigilance'
Anguttara Nikaya III.91 Accayika Sutta 'Urgent'
Anguttara Nikaya V.77-80 Anagata-bhayani Suttas 'The Discourses on
Future Dangers' (four consecutive suttas)
Venerable Ledi Sayādaw Four Verses on Samvega
A modern day condition for Samvega?
And my favourite yet again - sorry, but there's no link - I just
think this translation is much more elegant than the one at ATI.
Majjhima Nikaya 131 Bhaddekaratta Sutta 'A Single Excellent Night'
(Bhikkhus Nanomoli and Bodhi trans.)
"Let not a person revive the past
Or on the future build his hopes;
For the past has been left behind
And the future has not been reached.
Instead with insight let him see
Each presently arisen state;
Let him know that and be sure of it,
Invincibly, unshakeably.
Today the effort must be made;
Tomorrow Death may come, who knows?
No bargain with Mortality
Can keep him and his hordes away,
But one who dwells thus ardently,
Relentlessly, by day, by night -
It is he, the Peaceful Sage has said,
Who has had a single excellent night."
'Affirming the Truths of the Heart' The Buddhist Teachings on Samvega & Pasada ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu
From Dhammanando Bhikkhu:
Here are some verses from the Theragāthā and Therīgāthā in which various arahant bhikkhus and bhikkhunīs describe the circumstances in which they experienced saṃvega. I have taken K.R. Norman's prose renderings (Elders' Verses I & II), but left saṃvega in Pali and made many changes for readability.
Usabha Thera
Putting over my shoulder a robe the colour of mango sprouts, sitting on an elephant's neck, I entered a village to beg.
Descending from the elephant's shoulder, then I experienced saṃvega; I was agitated, then calm, and the destruction of the cankers was attained by me.
Uruveḷa Kassapa Thera
Seeing the miracles of the famous Gotama, I did not at once fall down before him, being deceived by envy and pride.
Knowing my thoughts, the Charioteer of Men roused me. Then there arose in me amazing, hair-raising saṃvega.
Then, coming to despise the little supernormal power I had as a Jaṭila, I went forth in the Conqueror's Dispensation.
Mahāpanthaka Thera
When I first saw the Teacher who has no fear from any quarter, saṃvega came upon me, having seen the best of men.
Raṭṭhapāla Thera
Possessed of faith I went forth in the Teaching of the Conqueror. My going forth was not unfruitful; free from debt I eat my food.
Regarding sensual pleasures as a thing on fire, and gold as a knife, seeing pain from the time of entry into the womb, and great fearfulness in hells,
knowing this peril, then I felt saṃvega. I was agitated, then calm, and the destruction of the cankers was attained by me.
The Teacher has been waited upon by me, the Buddha's Teaching has been done. The heavy burden has been put down; that which leads to renewed existence has been rooted out.
I have obtained that goal for which I went forth from the house to the homeless life: the destruction of all fetters.
And now the nuns...
Sāmā Therī
Twenty-five years had passed since my going forth. I did not attain peace of mind for even one moment.
Not obtaining peace of mind, being without mastery over the mind, then I reached a state of saṃvega, remembering the teaching of the Conqueror.
Delighting in diligence because of many painful dhammas, the destruction of craving has been attained by me. The Buddha's teaching has been done. Today it is the seventh night since my craving dried up.
Mittākālī Therī
Having gone forth in faith from the house to the homeless life, I wandered here and there, greedy for gain and honour.
Having missed the highest goal, I pursued an inferior goal. Falling under the mastery of the defilements, I did not know the goal of the ascetic life.
Then I had saṃvega: while sitting in my little dwelling [the thought arose] "I have entered upon the wrong path, I have come under the mastery of craving. My life is short. Old age and sickness are destroying it. There is no time for me to be careless before this body breaks up."
Seeing as it really is the arising and passing away of the aggregates, I stood up, my mind completely released. The Buddha's teaching has been done.
Vaḍḍha's mother
(though included in the bhikkhunīs' verses this is actually a dialogue between the bhikkhu Vaḍḍha and his mother who attained arahatta before him)
(Vaḍḍha's mother)
"May you not have, Vaḍḍha, at any time, craving for the world. Child, do not be again and again a sharer in pain.
Happily indeed, Vaḍḍha, dwell the sages, free from lust, with doubts cut off, become cool, having attained self-taming, being free of cankers.
O Vaḍḍha, devote yourself to the way practised by seers for the attainment of insight, for making an end of suffering."
"Forthrightly indeed you speak this matter to me, mother. Now indeed, I think craving is not found in you, mother."
(Vaḍḍha's mother)
"Whatever formations there be, Vaḍḍha, low, high, or middle, (for them) no craving, even minute, even miniscule, is found in me.
All my cankers were destroyed, while diligent and meditating. The three knowledges have been obtained. The Buddha's teaching has been done."
"Truly my mother, on account of her sympathy, applied an excellent goad to me, (namely) verses connected with the highest goal.
Hearing her utterance, the instruction of my mother, I reached a state of saṃvega in the Dhamma, for the attainment of security from bondage.
I, being resolute for exertion, not relaxing day or night, being urged on by my mother, attained supreme peace."
Uppalavaṇṇā Therī
Both of us, mother and daughter, were co-wives. Then I had saṃvega, amazing, hair-raising! Woe upon sensual pleasures, impure, stinking, with many thorns, for which we, mother and daughter, were co-wives.
In the commentaries the most common gloss on sa.mvega is "[insight] knowledge accompanied by dread of wrong-doing, or just dread of wrong-doing itself" ('sa.mvego' ti sahottappa.m ñaa.na.m, ottappameva vaa; e.g., Dhammasanganii Muulatiikaa 135-42).
So that would make it either the mental factor of dread of wrong-doing (ottappa cetasika) or the mental factor of understanding (paññaa cetasika), or both considered together.
The Niddesa to the Attadaṇḍasutta glosses saṃvega with the words:
ubbega: agitation (can be from either from joy or grief).
utrāsa: alarm.
bhaya: fear.
pīḷana: oppression, being pressed on.
ghaṭṭana: shaking.
upaddava: distress.
Abhidhānappadīpikāṭīkā (a 13th century Pali thesaurus) gives the synonyms:
ubbega: agitation.
vimhaya: astonishment, amazement
'saṃvego' ti jātibhayaṃ jarābhayaṃ byādhibhayaṃ maraṇabhayaṃ. saṃvejaniyaṃ ṭhānanti jāti jarā byādhi maraṇaṃ.
'Saṃvega' is fear with respect to birth, ageing, sickness, death. The saṃvega-worthy grounds are birth, ageing, sickness, death.
(Dhs. 234)
Atthasālinī (Dhammasaṅganī Atthakathā):
(saṃvega as proximate cause of viriya)
ussāhalakkhaṇaṃ vīriyaṃ, sahajātānaṃ upatthambhanarasaṃ, asaṃsīdanabhāvapaccupaṭṭhānaṃ, "saṃviggo yoniso padahatī" ti vacanato saṃvegapadaṭṭhānaṃ, vīriyārambhavatthupadaṭṭhānaṃ vā. sammā āraddhaṃ sabbāsaṃ sampattīnaṃ mūlaṃ hotīti daṭṭhabbaṃ.
Energy has exerting as its characteristic, strengthening the co-existent states as function, and opposition to giving way as manifestation. It has been said: "He in whom saṃvega is present exerts himself properly," hence energy has saṃvega, or the basic condition of making energy as proximate cause. Right exertion should be regarded as the root of all attainments.
(DhsA. 121)
Dhammasaṅganī Mūlatīkā:
(this is also the commonest definition in all the ṭīkās to the Suttas)
'saṃvego' ti sahottappaṃ ñāṇaṃ, ottappameva vā.
Saṃvega is a term for [insight] knowledge accompanied by dread of wrong-doing, or just dread of wrong-doing itself
(Dhs-mtīkā. 135-42)
Vibhaṅga Atthakathā:
'aṭṭha saṃvegavatthūni' nāma jātijarābyādhimaraṇāni cattāri, apāyadukkhaṃ pañcamaṃ, atīte vaṭṭamūlakaṃ dukkhaṃ, anāgate vaṭṭamūlakaṃ dukkhaṃ, paccuppanne āhārapariyeṭṭhimūlakaṃ dukkhanti.
Eight grounds for saṃvega: four are birth, ageing, sickness and death; the fifth is the suffering in the lower realms; suffering in the past rooted in the round [of saṃsāra], suffering in the future rooted in the round [of saṃsāra], and suffering in the present rooted in the need to search for nutriment.
(VibhA. 284)

Thirty Great Guitarists — Including Steve Vai, David Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen — Pick the Greatest Guitarists of All Time
April 17, 2014 at 9:54pm
Pretty good article, but I thought it was a bit strange that some of the guitarists interviewed didn't choose the guitarist they thought was the greatest of all time, but rather chose a guitarist they thought was underrated. That's not to say those they chose aren't great guitarists in their own right, but not necessarily one of the greatest of all time. That said, choosing the greatest guitarist of all time is subjective to the chooser. Not everyone is going to like the guitarist chosen. One commenter mentioned Allan Holdsworth. I'm not into fusion, though I've heard a song or two of his, so I cannot say he's the greatest guitarist ever, simply because I'm not familiar enough with his music. But he could be. I could say that about a lot of guitarists. The guitarists I think are underrated, greatest of all time and my favorite are mostly limited to those with whom I am most familiar, but I know there are plenty of others who are also worthy of those distinctions.
By the way, this article inspired me to create my own lists of guitarists: http://wp.me/p42SZ3-Hg

April 11, 2014 at 1:32pm
My God, Eddie's such a prick that he can't even give a guy a compliment without kissing his own ass. If you guys had a "Biggest A**hole in Rock" contest, it'd be a toss up between Gene Simmons and EVH. The rest of the articles are great though. Humility, someone please explain this concept to Eddie...

Hats off to Steve Van Zandt on his choice of Keith Richards, very ballsy with this bunch of snobs.
January 17, 2014 at 7:03pm
Way to go SLASH. The Best choice from his generation MICK TAYLOR.
I was beginning to think no one ever heard of him. Helluva slide player. He made it possible for the Stones to go on as long as they have. Piss off to everyone who disagrees. Too bad instead of continuing to better the band they rested on there hits which they don't even play as good as they did when Richards was still a junkie.
All of the so called new songs post Taylor, "Waitin on a Friend", "Start Me Up" & a few other gems were taken from the Master tapes of the Exile on Main Street Master Tapes.
Not only that but the old bastards joined with the rest of the old greedy ass baby boomers & jacked up the prices for the Elite friends of "Sir" Mick. Keith doesn't get off either, all of the shit he stole from the old black guys he goes & sues some band in the 80's for lifting a loop or whatever the rappers called it & kills their career on what they called a homage to him from Satisfaction I think. I think he knicked that from Ian Stewart intro to "Flight 505".
April 12, 2014 at 8:15am
If what I have recently read on Mick Taylor and the Stones is true, well lets just say if I was the Stones, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror while shaving.
No one came out and said it but the gist of it is, Keith Richards was so jealous of Mick Taylor it is pathetic. Not only could Mick Taylor play better than Keith Richards he was better looking, which must have really pissed Keith Richards off.
From Keith Richards erasing demo tapes of Mick Taylor's studio work and The Stones failure to give Taylor writing credits on all the work Taylor did for them, I'm surprised he has agreed to play with them (still) all these years.
Must be a better man than I am as I would spit in their collective faces.

Eddie Van Halen is a total dick. You may not like Michael Anthony, but get over yourself.
Feet First
January 10, 2014 at 4:44am
"and a bass player we knew"
That's Mike he's talking about isn't it? I can't believe Eddie is still being nasty even after all that's going for him.
January 13, 2014 at 2:56pm
Mark Stone was the original bass player in Mammoth. Could it be that's who he is referring to?
August 21, 2013 at 5:04pm
I'll bet if they had asked Guthrie Govan, he would've said Shawn Lane. Buckethead probably would have too. Anybody think the one from Tom Morello (on Steve Vai) ends really odd, where he says it turned into his greatest nightmare, a shred-fest? I'm like "Eh? What was the point of that story?" He never really talks about Steve Vai himself. Weird.
August 28, 2012 at 5:37pm
Not too bad of a read..
December 03, 2011 at 3:16am
Ahh. I am mostly a continuing story of hair band forever guitarist. Ive played the BEATLES for 20yrs and this year resorted mostly to pop no less. I did go on a "Kill em All" phase in'88 but always and forever a long lost RATT. I have to comend Kirk Hamment for a most interesting column on Uli Roth. "Sails of Sharon" is mostly a wicked ritual to celebrate for me, and I admire Matthias Jabbs! Way cool comments and a new heightend respect to Kirk Hamment.
December 02, 2011 at 6:44pm
Gawd I'm so fed up with this line: "It was very apparent to me that his tone is in his fingers and his head." Of course it is; it's so bloody obvious why does every guitarist feel the need to make himself sound brilliant by saying it?
Guitar George 2012
April 14, 2014 at 1:53pm
So many people say "tone is in your fingers", but I challenge that statement. Your style is in your fingers, your tone is in your gear.
Does anyone think Johnny Winter's tone sounds the same playing through his Lazer as when he played through a Firebird? Or, does Leslie West sound the same playing through his Deans & Blackstars as when he played a Junior through a Sun Coliseum PA head? Clapton sound the same now playing through Fender guitars and amps as when he played a Les Paul through a Marshall? How about the late, great Roy Buchanan? His tone suffered the most when he stopped playing his iconic Tele through a Fender, and opted instead for a plethora of other guitars through a delay pedal into a Roland Jazz Chorus amp. I could go on.
It's a romantic notion that a great guitarist, no matter who he or she may be, can play a Gibson/Marshall or a Fender/Fender or a Rickenbacker/Vox setup and the tone will be the same throughout, just because of said guitarist's "mojo". What will be recognizable is the guitarist's style, not the tone.
Heck, even Hendrix sounded a little bit different when he played his Flying V instead of his Strat.
December 02, 2011 at 1:16pm
What I want to listen to is a "musician". Not an instrument technician. No matter what instrument you play you must be musical. You must make music. Sounds obvious right? But far too many guitarists don't get it.
December 01, 2011 at 7:18pm
I tought that someone was going to talk about Shawn Lane, now i dont know what to think about this guitarrists :/
December 01, 2011 at 4:30pm
I like Slash's Mick Taylor recognition the best. They're all winners...
December 01, 2011 at 3:52pm
This is a really interesting article. I still can't believe that no one reveres Frank Gambale, Allan Holdsworth, Brett Garsed, John Petrucci, Michael Romeo nor TONY MACALPINE! So strange.
December 04, 2011 at 9:41pm
many of the those guitarist are somewhat contemporary artists, i imagine the artists that choose the artists that they did had more to do with being influenced by the subject artist. Nothing to take away from the guitarist that you stated because they are all amazing players.

Love these sandals
These are similar to a prior generation scandal from MBT that I wore out over a 5-year period. These have the same outrageously comfortable platform, and breath like scandals. I even wear them as business casual shoes in a financial business setting w/o reservation. The sole looks to be the same toughness as the prior version. They are worth the money.
I only hope that, when I wear out the bottoms, MBT will have provided a surplus supply of parts for the repair company to repair them with (for a second round of usage -- not now readily available since the bankruptcy).

Dear Viewers and Listeners:
This summer, as temperatures soar outside, ETV is igniting a whole host of programs and initiatives:
We are proud to honor 20 schools and two K–12 educational media teachers of the year, who are effectively using StreamlineSC and other ETV and ITV resources in the classrooms. The awards came during Teacher Technology Workshops at our Columbia studios, attended by hundreds of teachers from around the state (more at ETV Learn).
ETV has introduced a brand new online segment called ETV Shorts—a weekly web series of fascinating stories gathered from around the state.
In August, our Festival programming highlights performers Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand, and the amazing 11-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho. We're also offering some of the best programs in health and lifestyle including Brenda Watson's Perfect Health and the ever-popular America's Home Cooking.
While you're enjoying ETV programs on television and radio, we'll be asking you to support the ETV Endowment, as you have done for so many years. Your support makes all the programs featured in this guide possible. Happy summer!

CORNING, N.Y. -- A man was seriously hurt in a tractor-trailer crash in Corning. It happened on I-86 near exit 46 around 1 a.m. Friday.
Police say a tractor-trailer driver crashed while driving eastbound on the highway. The truck then went off an overpass, landing on Route 414.
The driver, Gennadiy Grebenyuk, 50, of Toronto, was flown to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. He's listed in critical condition.
Police say Grebenyuk was carrying a load of youth hockey equipment at the time of the crash. Route 414 was closed for several hours while crews cleared the scene. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Eighteenth Century Fiction contains the complete text of 96 works of English prose fiction from the period 1700-1780, by writers from the British Isles. All of the most widely-studied texts are in the database, alongside others long neglected or unavailable. First editions have been used unless considered unreliable. Authors include Burney, Defoe, Fielding, Haywood, Johnson, Lennox, Manley, Richardson, Frances Sheridan, Smollett, Sterne, and Swift.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Every business has the goal of making ends meet and making as much profit as possible. But not every business is trying to achieve that through their websites; at least it is not the direct major concern or goal of the website. Trying to convey an image of a corporation, for example, is certainly related to the ultimate goals of that corporation but it is less directly related to them, when compared to features like their shops, restaurants or offices. A website can enhance the image of an organization through means other than direct sales; it can show people the contribution an organization or company makes to the society and to the world. It can work as a field of communication among its employees and clients. It could convey an abstract image that the company wishes to associate with its products and/or services in a way that people will agree and remember.
There are also direct sales websites: the online shopping malls. These will be more carefully guarded in terms of security because people will be typing in their credit card details on the website to make purchases directly from it. And this means that people will be less willing to use a relatively obscure website to do their actual shopping. So having a certain type of website depends not only on what its management wants but also on what its potential clients expect from it.
Different purposes will require different designs, or different main functions that result in different designs. An internet shopping mall would need to appear secure and reliable, and above all easy, simple and convenient to use. A project website would have to be specific and clear about the project, in ways that the people involved in it will understand and relate to the website. A website for public viewing should be explanatory, with FAQs and general outlines that are very clear and easy to find. A lot of websites tend to make people spend minutes searching for their actual main purpose. A blog that conveys news and information would have to have the right feel to it, without unnecessary features and good archival menus.
There are several good platforms that are relatively easy to use, even for those who are unfamiliar with programming or website designing. But to have specific effects, or to have a look completely devoid of any known platform, people would still need to design their own website. Most people would hire professionals to do this, and a lot of care should be taken to find out how a company approaches not only web design but also web marketing, because an ideal company would do a lot of things for your effective internet marketing. It would also understand your specific needs and expectations of your website. Read more details about the best santa barbara website design company, where you will find out about how to achieve marketing goals on the internet, and be sure to consult experts on the type of website you want and should have.

Two top leaders in Onondaga County government are sparring. One leader says he's doing his job. The other says her colleague is playing politics. The showdown was touched off by an audit report that was later challenged by the county executive, Syracuse's mayor and the chairman of the county legislature. YNN's Bill Carey says it's a struggle unlikely to end anytime soon.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The 14th floor of the Onondaga County Civic Center is the scene of a quiet war of words. On one side, the Onondaga County Comptroller, who recently challenged fellow republican, County Executive Joanie Mahoney on rates being charged for parking spaces to a local developer at the parking garage serving the Oncenter. Rates that were far below the usual market charge.
"We weigh in on things that are very factual in nature. We are attempting to move the county forward by having our audits point out situations where we think there is either a lack of understanding or a lack of consistency," said Onondaga County Comptroller Robert Antonacci.
City and county leaders said those lower rates were needed to hang on to jobs at the nearby Galleries building. The County Executive says the Comptroller was the one lacking in understanding.
"Formed a whole opinion without having looked very deeply into the facts. And then I think the response he got from SMG made it clear that he was 'off track' when it comes to how municipal lots are used for economic development purposes," said Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney.
For her part, the County Executive, who has had her share of run-ins with fellow republicans, sees politics at play.
Mahoney said, "His name gets bandied about for bigger jobs all the time. I think he knows he has to have his name out there and he looks for any opportunity he can to get the publicity he wants for the next job he wants, whatever that is."
Antonacci says such criticism comes with the job. He says politics play no role in his reports. That in a billion dollar operation, someone needs to raise questions and get answers on how money is being spent. He says he is not using the job as a "stepping stone."
"I'm very happy being the comptroller of Onondaga County. I think I'm doing a pretty good job at it. I enjoy what I do. These reports are necessary to show where government has been. Where it's going. And we'll continue to do that," Antonacci said.
Mahoney said, " It's mildly entertaining, but it just starts to fit a pattern that is very clear and that is that we're involved in politics and that's what politicians do."
The tensions on the 14th floor go on.

text: We had a v disappointing visit to The Booking Office last night. Our food was cold and the service we received after we sent it back was shocking, not a hint of an apology for the inconvenience. After we suggested an apology may be in order, we received a mumbled response, the removal of the gratuity from our bill and a 10% discount, which seemed a very token offering when my steak cost £25 and the discount amounted to 8! Hardly worth their effort! Such a shame as I have had a few very enjoyable meals there before, we won''t be rushing back.

See how the old-time neighborhood butcher has been replaced by a sophisticated, multi-billion dollar operation.
- Meet the meat as MODERN MARVELS explores the vast industry supporting that brings the main course to America's table.
- For over a decade, MODERN MARVELS has brought grand stories to life.
- The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence.
Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
In a carnivorous world, a butcher is a necessary link in the food chain, carving a carcass of unsavory flesh into mouthwatering cuts. MODERN MARVELS® traces the evolution from yesteryear's butcher-on-every-corner to today's industrial "disassembly" lines. Tour the infamous remains of the Chicago Stockyards, where Upton Sinclair, Clarence Birdseye, and refrigeration changed butchering forever; witness high-speed butchering; and travel to a non-stop sausage factory. And if you're still squeamish, a USDA inspector offers the lowdown on HACCP--the country's new system of checks and balances on everything from quality grading to E. coli, Salmonella, and Mad Cow Disease. Finally, visit the last bastion of old-school butchering--the rural custom butcher, who slaughters, eviscerates, skins, and cuts to his customer's wishes.
