|Tone Name
|Santana, Bonamassa, Pearl Jam, Eric Clapton, John Mayer
|I saw this great YouTube clip via The Gear Page of a Dumble-esque sound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=tWIKeUFUDUY), so I tried to emulate it. Using the Line 6 blog post about Bias and Sag (http://bit.ly/18Y8kDZ), I fiddled quite a bit with the AC30TB. I didn't quite get Galo's tone - his is a bit smoother - but I got (what I think is) a really nice medium-gain sound using a Vintage Pre and a Red Comp, and adding a Screamer in for some boost. I also can't play like Galo, but I've been messing with warmer OD songs like Yellow Ledbetter and I like how this came out. I'm using an original Aerodyne Strat with SD single-spaced buckers and a heavy Tom Anderson trem bridge in it, so you'll have to adjust for taste. Give this some time and a bit of tweaking. I think you'll like it.
|Sweet Child O' Mine, et al
|Hard Rock
|Does anyone have more presets named after him than Slash? Add one more. This is a tweak on my JCM800 patch to sweeten it a bit. I added more mid and treble, made the mic a 57 On Axis instead of Off, for more bite. I widened the delay and reverb (prob more than I'd normally use, but I was trying to think differently). FS5 introduces a Tube Drive and longer delay for soloing. I also put an Octaver at FS2, mimicing the new Slash Octave Fuzz pedal from MXR
|Tom Petty, The Cure
|Stairway To Heaven, Just Like Heaven
|I started out trying to emulate a 12 string, which is one of the things I don't think the HD series does well. What I did get is a cool twist on it. Using the Whammy, I set it an octave up and panned it slightly left, with a Flanger after it to give a delayed bit of slight wobble. Is it a true 12? No, but it IS a very cool (IMO) shimmering tone that can sub for an electric 12 live. Try playing anything from the Stairway intro to Tom Petty-esque jangle to 80's Cure and even War-era U2. Think New Year's Day. This won't be your main tone, but I think this will stick in the rotation.
|AC/DC, Foghat, Foreigner, Stone Temple Pilots,
|Hard rock
|I know there are a million Marshall 800 patches on here, but I never found anything that had what I wanted. So I tore down my existing ones and built from scratch. Played through my Edwards Jimmy Page or my single-space SD HB Tele this is (for me) the perfect balance of bite and articulation. And no mud. I'm also learning more about using Delay and Reverb to widen the sound without making it sound like an overprocessed echo chamber. I put my two favorite ODs at FS1 (Tube Drive to beef rhythm) and the Screamer at FS5 (for solo boost). I also tossed in a Flanger at FS2. Heavy enough to play Foghat and AC/DC, articulate enough to play Sonic Temple-era Cult, and AC/DC {UPDATE} I also put Vetta Juice at FS7, kick this on - especially if not using the ODs - to goose the front end.
|Sweet Child O'Mine
|Hard Rock
|This is an update of my previous Slash Plexi, still using the Plexi Lead, but I kept swapping out cabs (and adjusting the mid-Boost EQ acc'd to Meambobo's guide) until I got to this. One of the keys was an interview where Slash talked about how the key to his heavy sound was a Fuzz box, not Distortion as I had always assumed. FS5 hits the Fuzz, FS2 is an analog Chorus and I threw an Octave at FS6 because Slash is now selling a pedal that does both Fuzz and Octave. I'm playing with a stock Edwards Jimmy Page Les Paul.
|Joe Walsh - Billy Duffy - Billy Squier
|For Marshall tones, I can't get past the Park with the Tube Comp engaged full-time. I keep FS1 on 90% of the time and I can cover a TON of ground. Joe Walsh/James Gang? Check. Free, Foghat and other 70's rock? Check. 80's crunch pop like Billy Squier? Check. Hit FS2 for some Analog Flanger and I can do most Billy Duffy stuff from the Cult (try the She Sells Sanctuary, Sun King and Fire Woman riffs). FS4 is a delay and FS5 is the DOD yellow OD for solo work. Try it, as this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite patches. This and my Blackface patch will cover most of your live needs. I've been on a good run of 4 and 5 star rated patches and I'm hoping you all find this as useful.
|Matthew Followill
|Sex on Fire / Use Somebody
|I wrote this to try to cover some Kings songs with one guitar. As written, it uses a standard Blackface, good for the Sex on Fire intro. FS1 engages the Tube Driver for some slight bump - think Caleb's rhythm chorus to Use Somebody. FS5 is Matthew's lead sound. It introduces a Screamer, a Modulated Delay and some Analog Chorus for that big, almost U2 sound on Only By The Night. This is your lead Chorus to all the big-sounding songs. Use FS5 and FS8 (Opto Trem) for a decent approximation of Jared's delayed bass as the hook to Closer. FS2 is a Dimension chorus, just because I had the room.
|Jimmy Page
|What Is And What Should Never Be
|I was watching some YouTube videos from Chicago Music Exchange showing off some of the gorgeous pieces they have. And I got to thinking, 'the way they show these, it's an excellent platform to try to cop these sounds'. So I focused on a 57 Goldtop demo ["http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZB8rRBOQ0U"] as a basis for a good Zeppelin tone, specifically What Is And What Should Never Be. For that, the demo is using a /13 so I started with a Plexi 100 Bright and a Spring Reverb. My guitar is an Edwards Jimmy Page with the Supercircuit (not engaged) loaded with Duncans. I was keying on the dirty clean chording in the verse of the song. After getting close, I started adding in pedals that would be close to what Page used. So I threw in the Vox ToneBender (FS5) for LZ1 and LZ2 distortion, a Tube Driver (FS1) to push the distortion for a later Graffiti sound. But I couldn't get that not-quite-fuzz, but more than dirty-clean breakup, until I put a MicroAmp (FS6) in. I like it for nudging that dirty-clean Plexi tone into OD without going to distortion. I added in a Barberpole Phaser for that Rover/Nobody's Fault sound and a Memory Man for some analog delay. Feedback welcome.
|Billy Gibbons
|Just Got Paid/Cheap Sunglasses
|I was watching some YouTube videos from Chicago Music Exchange showing off some of the gorgeous pieces they have. And I got to thinking, 'the way they show these, it's an excellent platform to try to cop these sounds'. So I focused on a Pearly Gates demo to get a (duh) Gibbons tone cooking. ["http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHJZEJlosEg"] Starting with Pearly, they used a 20 watt Tweed, a TS808 and the Lester. So I set up a Tweed bright with a 421 Dynamic, a Screamer and a 63 reverb as my starting point. My guitar is an Edwards Jimmy Page with the Supercircuit (not engaged) loaded with Duncans. And with some tweaking, some back-and-forth and some walking away to let my ears rest, damn if I didn't come up with something close. FS5 kicks in a Tube Driver to push harder and make those harmonics jump, FS3 is a Memory Man for some analog delay and FS2 is a Dimension chorus for that Rough Boy sound. Try it.
|Phil Collen
|FS1 is Tube Driver for a bit of a boost. FS5 is the Screamer for more of a solo push. FS2 is Analog Chorus, FS3 is a Reverb (on), FS4 is a Delay (adjust to taste, I leave it mostly off). FS6 is the trick, it's the Mid Focus EQ that adds a midrange bump, think the Tom Scholz Rockman for that Boston sound. It can also make a good solo boost. This was dialed in using a Jimmy Page Les Paul with Duncans. Here are some suggestions, depending upon what tone you're trying to cop. Def Leppard (Photograph), use the distortions at FS1 and F5 for solo work, for most rhythm stuff, just the amp is fine. FS2 Chorus gives a nice shimmer to the chorus arpeggios Boston (Don't Look Back), use FS6, the mid-Focus EQ, and maybe the Tube Screamer if you're good with palm muting, because it can run away on you quickly (and Scholz didn't use that much gain). Most hair metal (Poison, Motley Crue), use the mid-focus for the earlier stuff (Talk Dirty), leave it off for later stuff (Kickstart, Ride the Wind) This is NOT an exact copy of anyones tones. But it should get you covers-close to a lot of stuff. Before you evaluate and rate, I'd suggest going to a site like guitarbackingtracks.com and playing the patch WITH the song. In many cases a patch will sound 'wrong' on it's own. But that's not the goal, it should sit in the mix well. Try it.
Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.
Tones contributed by users to the Public Tone Exchange are made by individual users, who are in no way affiliated with Line 6. Any product name or trademarks used by the users to describe their Tones are the sole property of their respective owners. Any use of these product names or trademarks of other manufacturers should not be construed as an endorsement, association or affiliation with Line 6.

Big Brother is watching Ukraine
Here are some of the laws that were adopted by a raise of hands from the ruling "Region" party in parliament:
1. For moving in a group of 5 or more cars-confiscation of license and car up to 2 years
2. Operating information technology services without government papers-confiscation of technology and fine
3. Participating in peaceful protests with helmets, uniforms, or fire -10 days incarceration
4. Constructing tents, stages, or sound systems without police permits- 15 days incarceration
5. Disrespect for the court- 15 days incarceration
6. Failure to follow internet restrictions- fine of 6800 UAH
7. Blocking access to a place of residence- 6 years incarceration
8.. Distribution of "radical" materials – 3 years incarceration
9. "Group public disturbance" - 2 years incarceration
10. Group gatherings resembling riots- 15 years incarceration
11. Gathering of information about police, judges, or other such persons- 3 years incarceration
12. Riot police who use force to "restore order" do not face charges in criminal court.
Further laws and regulations would prohibit massive group caroling (calling it religious extremism) Caroling is not only a Ukrainian tradition but was a popular way protesters lifted each others moral and spirits during the holiday season at the maidan.
Among the ones listed, there are various other rules that have been passed as a result of the protests. The scariest part about these regulation is that they provide the government "legal" rights to prevent people from exercising their constitutional rights. Many in Ukraine are frustrated, afraid and scared that their country is turning more and more into its all too familiar past of a totalitarian dictatorship.

Second Annual Charity Drive! Win Points! UPDATES Welcome to the Second Annual AA-Charity Event!
As many of our members know, last year we were able to accumulate $500.00 for charities thanks to the huge amount of help from people! This year we aim to help two charities, having chosen the World Wildlife Fund for our animal charity this year, and the Human Rights Watch for our human charity. Here's hoping we can all get together and be able to contribute more than that this year! And as always if you do not wish to use our services, you are always free (and encouraged) to donate directly to either organization!
All of our services and events will be from the 21st-31st! We may extend it if things are going well, but that will be announced if that is the case! So, go for it! Spread the word even if you can't partake!

Something About Dragons Contest WinnersCrossposted from the Flight Rising group
The entire team wants to thank all of you for the amazing entries, interest, and support we've received. We were overwhelmed by your enthusiasm! It was incredibly difficult for the team to choose winners, and we increased the amount of honorable mention winners from from 3 to 7.
We wanted to extend the invitation to all who participated to join Flight Rising in closed beta test.

Activity Checks For WBS Adoptions10/22/14- Bloodline foals will now be activity checked until they are ranked a specific rank in the WD (I will tell you what rank that is upon adoption). This goes for adoptions AND breedings! The list of people who do not need to take part in activity checks are immune to this rule, still.
9/10/14- As of now, after you purchase a design of mine, the horses reference is due in a week! No longer a month.
6/5/14- I have decided to change the rules a bit, hopefully making y'all a bit more happy Instead of needing to draw the horse 5 times before I stop doing activity checks on it, I changed it to 3 drawings. Now, after you draw the horse (yourself) 3 times, I will no longer preform activity checks on it.

Croissants de France Restaurant Review: A glass case in the front of the restaurant displays baked goods like buttery croissants, brioche, tarts and éclairs. The wedding and special event cakes by special order are still the most prestigious in town. Grab a seat and take in the Duval Street action over a quick pastry-and-coffee breakfast, or head into the quiet garden dining room out back for a leisurely lunch or dinner. The breads --- sourdough to multi-grain --- are homemade daily, forming the basis for sandwiches and sides. Recommended for breakfast or lunch are brioche with poached eggs in mustard sauce, a Key lime-coconut crêpe, or an omelet with triple cream Brie. For dinner, step off to France in the form of French onion soup or beef bourguignon, or stay right where you are with coconut shrimp, or a dish of bouchée a la Reine (Caribbean seafood in a puff pastry shell).

Catch her while you can. Elusive, unapproachable, Martha Argerich is one of the world's greatest pianists.
Italy's best orchestra, the Orchestra Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, and a brilliant conductor, Antonio Pappano, brought her to Rome. Her name filled the house.
"I find the musicians sensational, from every point of view musically", she says. "And also their spirit… extraordinary!"
Martha Argerich has made Schumann's Concerto one of her signature pieces, and it is much appreciated by the Roman audience.
Fiercely independent, allergic to the rules imposed by career, fame, agents and concert halls, Martha does not interpret music, she embodies it.
"It's impossible to separate the person from the musician – she is music. First of all, what a dynamo! Despite all the energy and mercuriality she has in her playing she manages to get every nuance along the way – which very few pianists can do.
You can't put her in a cage, you can't put her in a box, she's a free spirit. She has such class, such old-world elegance, it's from another era, almost… just wonderful!" says conductor Antonio Pappano.
Prodigious technique, uncanny musicality, and a hypersensitivity means that when Martha talks about Schumann's fate it feels like she is talking about herself.
"I'm extremely touched by his suffering", she says, "and I love his generosity, even with his colleagues. He had so much love to give, to everyone, like Chopin, for example, but it was not reciprocal."
For Martha music makes sense only when shared; unbowed and fearless, she has struggled against solitude all her life.
"Friedrich Gulda, who taught me so much, once told me: 'You have to learn everything before turning sixteen because later one gets a little stupid!'
When I was seventeen I lived like a forty-year old. I wanted to have the life of a young student, other people of my age were free, had fun, had no stage fright. I found that my life was sad. I'd travel a lot, on my own. I was very shy, I still am because I think that you stay shy. Today, it's true, I have friends everywhere, and they look after me," she smiles.
Of course, that shyness disappears as soon as Martha sits at a piano says Antonio Pappano:
"You don't have to know anything about music to be absolutely affected, and infected, by the spirit of her music-making. You're just knocked over by the amount of energy that she has, but actually what she does is always extremely natural, it's as if the music can't go any other way."
Now over 70, Martha Argerich continues to play in the eye of her own artistic storm, and the public continues to be willingly swept along.
The Orchestra Nazionale di Santa Cecilia concludes its European tour with Martha Argerich in Berlin on November 26.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. (release) -- The Hampden-Sydney Tigers (9-2, 6-1 ODAC) claimed their first-ever playoff victory with a 42-34 home victory over Maryville College (8-3, 6-1 USA South) in the first round of the NCAA Division III Football Championship. The Tigers extend their season and face Linfield on Saturday, November 23.
The game was back-and-forth with each team holding leads, but the Tigers took a 21-20 lead early in the second quarter and held on throughout. Junior receiver Holton Walker broke school records for single-game receptions and single-game receiving yards as he hauled in 16 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns. Junior quarterback Nash Nance threw five touchdown passes to go with 338 yards and one interception on 23-of-40 accuracy. Maryville countered with signal caller Evan Pittenger throwing for 197 yards on a 13-for-33 effort. His favorite target was Ed Johnson who hauled in seven passes for 134 yards and a TD. Maryville's ground attack featured 276 rushing yards, 167 yards at the hands of Travis Felder and his 28 attempts.
Defensively, the Tigers stopped Maryville three times on fourth down in the second half to help preserve the slim lead.
The first half, however, was an offensive shootout, with Walker and Nance started the scoring action off with a 13-yard strike to cap off a ten-play, 70-yard scoring drive.
Maryville, undaunted by its first trip to the postseason, rattled off a two-minute drive to tie the game at 7-7 on a Travis Felder 38-yard run up the middle.
The visiting Scots then struck again on a 23-yard run from Trenton Shuler, but failed to connect on the extra point and led 13-7 seven minutes into the game.
The Tigers then responded, as they often do, taking 3:36 to drive 68 yards and reclaim the lead 14-13 after a Fuller Clark two-yard catch.
Maryville reclaimed the lead on its first drive of the second quarter as an Ed Johnson 26-yard reception put the Scots up 20-14.
The lead lasted for just 50 seconds as Walker and Nance connected again on an 80-yard touchdown pass to put the Tigers back up by one.
The Tigers managed two more touchdowns with an 18-yard catch by Walker and a three-yard run by Chris Shembo but Maryville managed one more score with nine seconds to go in the half, and the Felder one-yard run brought the Scots within eight at 35-27 heading to intermission.
While the first half was a shootout, the second was a defensive battle with each team only scoring once.
The Tigers only possessed the ball in the third quarter for five minutes, but the Tiger defense held strong. The Scots scored on their first drive of the quarter to come within one at 35-34, but the Tigers forced two straight punts, including a three-and-out to end the third quarter with a Tiger lead.
The Tigers used the second punt of the quarter to start an 80-yard drive that stretched into the fourth quarter and ended in a Michael Mey 18-yard touchdown reception.
As Hampden-Sydney held a 42-34 lead, the defense got stronger as play went on. The Scots' final three drives – including one that went to the Hampden-Sydney 18-yard line – all ended in turnover on downs while securing the Tigers first-ever postseason victory.
On the day, Hampden-Sydney tallied 417 yards of offense on 338 passing yards and 79 rushing yards. Mey and Shembo each caught two passes for 27 yards. Shembo also led the rushing attack with 54 yards and a score on 15 carries.
The Scots' defense was led by senior linebacker Dylan Wolfenbarger. He finished with a dozen tackles that included seven solo stops. Micah Smith added six tackles while hauling in an interception. Josh Krebs has six tackles, three stops for a loss, and a pass break up. Jamie Owen and Gabe Johnson each added five tackles.
Maryville closes out their historic season with the most wins in a season since the 1978 campaign while earning their second consecutive USA South Championship.

Police: Chester woman stole jewels and gold from Winhall homeStaff Report | November 09,2012WINHALL A Chester woman was cited by police in the theft of $8,000 to $10,000 in gold and jewels from a house in which she worked, according to Sgt. Thomas Crowe of the Winhall Police Department.
January M. Nelson, 30, of Chester, was cited to be arraigned in Bennington criminal court on a felony count of grand larceny and possession of stolen property.
Crowe said the owner of a Winhall Hollow Road home in Winhall reported the items missing, including a large amount of gold jewelry and precious stones, on Sunday.
Police believe the items were taken Oct. 22 but no one noticed their absence until recently.
The homeowner provided police with photos of the missing items.
On Monday, Crowe interviewed Nelson, who had a home-cleaning business that included the Winhall home. Based on that interview, Winhall police officers recovered the stolen jewelry from locations in Winhall, Chester and Springfield.
Store owners identified Nelson as the person who sold them the jewelry, Crowe said.
Crowe was assisted in recovering about $4,000 to $5,000 in stolen jewelry from a location on Mattson Road in Chester by Chief Richard Cloud of the Chester Police Department.
Crowe said Nelson does not have a criminal history in Vermont.
The Winhall Police Department reminds homeowners to try to get photographs of any valuable property and jewelry so that if the items are stolen or damaged, they can later be identified and to check thoroughly the backgrounds of people working in their homes before leaving them alone or granting them access.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

Verizon has better coverage than any other carrier in Phoenix because Verizon bought Alltel and the combined coverage can't be matched by the others. Also, Verizon has the only 800mhz signal, which travels further than the 1900mhz signal that all the others use in Phoenix.

I'm actually with Virgin Mobile but I understand it is run by Sprint. I always have 3 bars where ever I go. The Data sucks. I hate the internet. Overall it's great for the price. $40 a month with 1200 mins and UnLtd texts and data.Was this review helpful to you?
Horrible reception! Verizon is awful. All of there towers are around ASU. Can't wait for my contract to expire. Verizon SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Good signal even deep in apartment. Average 30Mbps downloads.Was this review helpful to you?
We have been traveling from Phoenix too northern Idaho. This is the worst phone company out there as we have had virtually NO service all summer in our travels. In my upstairs office in Peoria Arizona, I could not get phone service for over 4 years. When we started with them we did get service. The service folks are very kind and nice and agree with you when you tell them how bad the service is. Go with Verizon if you live in the western US.Was this review helpful to you?
Been a Sprint customer for the last 14 years in the metro Phoenix area. Sprint was originally the best carrier for a number of years. However, I must admit that Verizon has vastly superior coverage and surpassed Sprint. I know this because my work mobile phone is Verizon. With Sprint the coverage has actually declined over the past few years. My phone will drop at 101 / I-10 westbound at Goodyear Rd. It is also guaranteed to drop at 101 / 7th St-Cave Creek exit and at 101 / Via Linda exit. Phone service at home is weak, in spite of Airave in the home. Sad to say I may be done with Sprint moving forward. Also AT&T and T Mobile are on par with Sprint in the metro Phoenix area.Was this review helpful to you?
Sprint has lousy in and out coverage. Never there when you want it. Never there when you Really need it.Was this review helpful to you?
Switched from Sprint to Verizon after moving to Wyoming. Great service there, horrible here. Cant make or receive calls, only text, now stuck with 2yr contract with a phone that wont make calls. Pathetic.Was this review helpful to you?
Almost switched from Verizon to T-Mobile on big family plan to save money. After visiting T-Mobile store I noticed the coverage map doesn't match with the one online. Online map seems to indicate better coverage. Since SIM card swap out won't let you have 4G access with T-Mobile, I'd have to buy new phones. In the end I'd shave $55 / mo off my bill. The catch - the coverage is not really that good. More than anything, I need reliable coverage and after 12 years with Verizon I know it works just about everywhere - I used to drive all over the state. My cell phone is my life line and I'm not willing to sacrifice the reliability for $55 / month.Was this review helpful to you?
Dropped calls all the time and slow downloads. I would never watch a movie using Netflix because 4G is slow. I haven't read any good reviews for other carriers either so I guess bad is better than awful.Was this review helpful to you?
Mostly works well for me. I am home most of the time and have never faced any call issues. Have experienced occasional call drops. 4G works good as well. Sometime use tethering and is usually good. Often is faster than my home wifi.Was this review helpful to you?
1-2 bars 4lte is max but usually 2 bars 4 lg. According to AT&T website we are well into the area that has full 4lte coverage but our calls drop alot and I cant use data plan unless I turn on wi-fi. Very disappointed, been customer since it was Cingular wireless.Was this review helpful to you?
Absolutely Horrible service on any level of 2G-4G LTE. Nothing but dropped calls, 9 / 10 failed texts, missed calls, lost dropped calls, data can't connect, never gets LTE, DATA is in a perpetual spin like it can't find the server.sprint in this area is also equally below poor. Both AT&T and Verizon are completely opposite in this section of the city with perfect connections on calls,texts, and Data every single time.Was this review helpful to you?

I love this pressed pigment. The color is so beautiful and I honestly don't usually bother with loose glitters/pigments so this is absolutely perfect. I can't wear this unless I use a glitter glue with it, or else it seriously get all over your face and you will look like a disco ball. The MAC s/a used it on me with fix plus to create a "foiled" look and although it was gorgeous it definitely didn't stick to my lids. The only thing I have found that works is Too Faced's Glitter Glue - it's 20$ but seriously it will last you forever and ever because you really don't need a lot. I suggest you do your eyeshadow as usual and then put the glitter glue over your lid color / inner corner and Voila. It looks gorgeous and it stays in place !

What does PTP mean?
- The industrial band PTP was a short-lived side project of Ministry's Alain Jourgensen. The band's total recorded legacy consists of three songs. The first PTP track, "Show Me Your Spine," was recorded in 1987. The song has several claims to fame. Written by Jourgensen, Barker and Ogre, it marked the first collaboration between Luxa/Pan and vocalist Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy. The track appeared briefly during the club scene in the first RoboCop movie but did not appear on the soundtrack. In fact, the song was not commercially released until 2004 when it appeared on Ministry's Side Trax compilation. Musically, it is representative of the early Wax Trax sound, which is not a surprise considering Jourgensen's history. It features arpeggio melodies, loud drums, Fairlight orchestral hits and of course Ogre's heavily distorted vocals. PTP released the "Rubber Glove Seduction" single in 1989 on Wax Trax. It was reissued in 1993 on TVT. The b-side was a song titled "My Favorite Things." Both songs written by Jourgensen, Barker and Connelly. "Rubber Glove Seduction" became a club hit with Connelly's deadpan lyrics: "Tick tick tock I am the kitchen clock / Tick tick tock this is my wife / Tick tick tock I am the kitchen clock / Tick tick tock this is my knife." Sped up vocals swirled through the mix, some of which offered a commentary on the song itself when slowed down. "My Favorite Things" had a throbbing bass line and an uncharacteristic guitar solo. The CD liner notes were cryptic, as usual. They offered no expansion of the band's name though interviews with Jourgensen later revealed that it stood for Programming the Psychodrill, taken after a J.G. Ballard collage. The listed band personnel were:

One thing that plagues us as printers of apparel is those pesky seams. When the squeegee passes over a seam, it disrupts the constant and even pressure it applies. The resulting print will be uneven in the area immediately surrounding that seam.
This problem is exacerbated in all-over prints where the image is printed... well, all over every seam. However, Carlos Ballesteros, our production manager, and his crack team of printing gurus have recently made serious improvements in printing all over prints on our Prerunner press, affectionately known as the "One Armed Bandit", simply by layering the press bed with some stuff he found around the shop.
By providing a little bit of give on the underside of the garment, Carlos has found a way to produce much more even one color all over prints. When the squeegee passes over seams, the substrate gives instead of the squeegee, resulting in more even pressure.

JHymn 0.9.2
JHymn is a small utility designed to decrypt protected music, so it can be processed on operating systems on which iTunes does not function, such as Linux-based computers. Removing DRM protections will also allow you to play the music in any AAC-capable software tool and to make backups of the songs you purchased.
Portable tool with a user-friendly interface
This small program requires no installation and its ease of use is suggested by the simple and classic look. It allows you to add files individually or entire folders by drag and drop or via a custom dialogue. There are three input file types supported by the application, namely: M4P, M4B and M4A and MP3 and WAV for the output. Unless you specify an encoder, iTunes or QuickTime are used by default for converting the audio files and removing the DRM protections.
Easily configure settings
To spice things up, JHymn lets you add a custom signature to your songs, which can be personalized from the Preferences window of the application. This is also the place you need to access in order to customize the MP3 quality, which can vary from 24 kbps (mono) to 320 kbps stereo. There is the possibility to configure your own preset.
JHymn also has the means to download authorization keys from the Apple Store (you need to log in to the Music Store for this), but the application claims that it automatically detects new keys and downloads them for you.
Even though removing DRM protections potentially entitles you to all sorts of activities, JHymn should be used for legal purposes only. It was built to allow you to play the music you bought on any device and to unlock it from the limitations that prevent you from fully enjoying it.

Pulse drive
Garden of Athena is a far future realm of Suzerain, part of the Catalyst family of realms.
Pulse drive, sometimes known as repulsion drive, was the propulsion system used by the Athenians to navigate within an atmosphere or close to heavy gravity, such as stars or planets.
It was the sole propulsion unit for the Daidalos shuttles and the larger Icharos shuttles? but it was also fitted to the crystal drive ships such as the invasion barges? or colony ships?.
As with many Athenian technologies the energies and science involved were never fully understood, merely accepted.

text: GARDEN CITY, Kan. - Kansas counties that sued the state over payments from a trust fund might be getting more money. Gov. Sam Brownback's announced earlier this week that he is proposing an increase in payments from the Oil and Gas Depletion Fund to many counties. Nearly half of the state's 105 counties, and all the counties in southwest Kansas, sued last fall, saying they should have received twice as much money as the total sent to counties in October. Brownback said in a news release that a "misunderstanding" between counties and legislators led him to propose increasing the payments by $7.5 million. The Legislature still must authorize the funding. The trust fund is designed to offset decreases in property tax revenues in oil- and gas-producing counties.

by AGRIC on MARCH 1, 2008 - 1 Comment in self-sufficiency
The following info may look simplistic, but it is sound, experience-based , common-sense advice, and if you follow it, you will have success with potato-growing.
BOOKS: The off-grid community and the battle to live their way.
Off The Grid in America (Penguin, 2010)
How to Live Off-Grid UK (Bantam, 2008)
The following info may look simplistic, but it is sound, experience-based , common-sense advice, and if you follow it, you will have success with potato-growing.
If you're trying to be self-sufficient in cool temperate regions, potatoes will likely be your most important crop apart from wheat.
Even without special storage facilities you can just about eat potatoes all year round. They are a productive, easy to cultivate and usually reliable crop, and provide a good supply of carbohydrate, protein and vitamins for your diet. Apparently no other crop produces more energy per acre than potatoes. I wonder what people did before they arrived from South America in the 16th century?
You grow potatoes by planting a potato! A whole host of important things stem from that fact:
Most important is disease. If the potato you plant has a disease then the plants that grow from it will almost certainly have that disease. Very bad news for you and for anyone growing potatoes near you since aphids are very good at spreading disease between potatoes.
So, you would be very unwise to plant just any old potato, you need to do all you can to ensure 'clean' seed: buy certified seed potatoes (as sold by all reputable seed merchants). If you save your own seed potatoes you need to be very very very careful, never save seed potatoes from any plants that have shown disease or poor performance, plan to replace a third of your seed potatoes from fresh certified supplies every year – and replace all your seed potatoes if you think you've had problems. It's probably unwise to save potatoes for seed if you grow on an allotment or community garden where other people are growing potatoes since yours could catch a virus from theirs.
It's pretty stupid to plant potatoes bought from supermarkets and grocery shops – you've no idea what nasty diseases they may have. But I've done it 4 times for a very small number of spuds in the last 5 years, perhaps 1% of my seed potatoes in that time, I've been as careful as possible and it has not caused me an obvious serious problem yet, but it will if I persist in being stupid. Potato viruses and diseases are like HIV, you can't tell by looking. Wear a condom and buy certified seed potatoes.
Nowadays seed potatoes are almost always produced from mini tubers, which are produced in close to laboratory conditions from virus free stock. These are grown on for 3 to 5 years by specialist seed potato growers in very strictly controlled conditions before you buy them from seed merchants. It's amazing how much care is taken to produce clean seed potatoes, it's not for the fun of it, it's to minimise the risk of viruses and diseases decimating our potato crops. So, give respect and don't mess things up for everyone else, OK.
When you buy potatoes to eat from your supermarket or grocery store you'll probably have a choice of about 5 varieties at any time if you're lucky; well, in UK you can buy about 150 different varieties of seed potatoes – and most of them taste noticably better than the ones you buy in shops. For most people a potato is just a potato, it was so for me until I started growing my own and happily learned better. Last year we grew 30 different varieties at Phoenix, this year it will be about 35.
Another funny thing about potatoes: the same variety can often taste quite different when grown in different places and soils, some will do well in one place and not in another even nearby, and the weather – especially moisture and temperature – can have surprisingly different effects on different varieties' yields. You need to experiment with different varieties on your land to discover what works best for you.
Potatoes have a 'this way up' – you need to know how to spot it but that's not hard. Up is the 'rose' end, and that's where most of the 'eyes' are, often there is a faint half moon shaped ridge beneath each eye to help you and a belly button on the down end where it attached to the parent plant. Varieties can be quite different, some are easy to spot 'up', some are more challenging.
One planted potato does not equal one plant! Every shoot that grows from the seed potato is a plant. That has implications, think about what those might be before reading on (it's good for you: a thinking gardener is a better gardener!).
When you plant a potato you are planting a clump of plants together, if you recollect what I said before about spacing – equidistant spacing between plants being optimal – you'll realise that is not good. Closely spaced plants result in more but smaller produce compared with widely spaced plants, and you generally don't want a crop of many very small potatoes. An additional disadvantage with overcrowded potatoes is a good crop can force tubers to the surface and cause them to 'green'.
You can manage this to improve the situation. First you can use seed potatoes that have not too many eyes so you don't get too many plants clumped together. Seed potatoes about the size of a hen's egg or a little smaller are about best for most varieties. If your potato has more sprouts than you want then you can rub the surplus sprouts out when you plant.
You can cut your seed potatoes into portions with about the right number of eyes. I really don't like this and have never done it – cut potatoes can easily rot and provide a site for disease to attack. If you do then you should use something to dry the cut surface (sawdust, flour, or talc would work) and let it dry for a day, preferably in bright sunlight if you have it, before planting.
Your objective is to grow 2 to 3 'plants' per square foot (20 to 30 per square metre), this seems to be about optimal for good crops of decent sized potatoes.
An advantage us manual gardeners have over the mechanised producers is the care we can take when planting. This is particularly so with potatoes – it means we can 'chit' them to get a head start. Chitting is just putting seed potatoes rose end up in a light and cool place for about 4 weeks before planting so that they produce strong, green shoots. The ideal temperature is 50 F (10 C), if warmer then they will sprout faster so you should reduce the chitting time. Egg boxes are excellent for chitting potatoes.
Frost kills any above ground potato foliage and will set your potatoes back a week or more if afflicted. In UK this is the prime determinent of when potatoes are planted – you aim to have your potatoes poking through the soil's surface the day after your last frost. This is, of course, impossible unless you are very lucky or a time traveller.
If you are planting nicely sprouted seed potatoes (sprouts about 1″ to 1.5″ long, 3 to 4 cm) in cold ground about 5″ (12cm) deep then it will take between 3 and 6 weeks for the sprouts to emerge above ground – dependent on soil temperatures and potato variety. So if your last frost is probably 15th May you should plant about 15th April. You should start chitting about 4 weeks prior to that at 50 F (10 C), about mid March.
But in UK the last frosts are very variable. In 2007 the last frost at Phoenix, Culbokie was 2nd April I think, yet the probable date for last frost there is about 20th May! You need a strategy that works for most possibilities.
First keep your potatoes cool and listen to them. At temperatures above 40 F (5 C) they will be inclined to sprout but some sprout noticably sooner than others. As soon as they start sprouting you need to put them somewhere light and cool to chit and begin to plan your planting accordingly. If they are too far ahead of what you can do regarding planting then put them in your fridge if you can to slow them down.
Think of planting the earliest varieties under cloche or fleece, even aim to do this, you can be eating early potatoes a month sooner this way.
Spread your planting dates over several weeks if you are taking a risk on frost. That way all your crop won't be afflicted if a frost hits when some have emerged. Be ready and able to mulch them with straw, bracken, grass, fleece or similar if a surprise late frost threatens. It's mostly not the frost that kills but the rapid thawing of plant tissues – usually due to bright sun which often comes straight after frost – you can save the day by covering frosted potatoes or by spraying with cold water before the sun hits them.
Two more posts on potatoes coming soon I think. One about varieties, links and buying, another about growing.
Check out this blog on potato growing – its one of the best.

I ordered this mattress topper for my son to use on his twin XL mattress in his college dorm. He had been complaining about how uncomfortable his bed was. He got the new topper and absolutely loves it--says it's like night and day. Very happy I bought it for him.
At one time in my settled life I had a Memory Matress topper that I ordered from Overstock, when I decided to move and retire I sold everything,,,I knew when I finally landed where I was to be I would order a NEW MEMORY FOAM TOPPER AGAIN,,which I did Before ordering this product I woke up with a bad back and pains in my legs and hips,,,Since ordering and receiving this Memory Topper I sleep better, no more tossing and turning, my back is wonderful I can jump out of bed and feel no pain now. I would recomend this product if you are having a terrible time falling asleep. My hips no longer hurt, my back is wonderful and its helped so much in my ciruclation of my blood all over my body..AT this price you CAN'T GO WRONG...............
I saw the reviews and decided to order this for my daughter as she's a student athlete and was moving into a dorm. She loved the cushion of this memory foam mattress immediately, and unlike some other cushions I've experienced, this XL fits perfectly to a dorm bed. Her roommate who is also an athlete had bought something similar for more money ended up returning hers, since she liked my daughter's memory foam mattress so much more. I ended up ordering one for her as well. My recommendation is if your son or daughter is going to be sleeping on a dorm bed to keep in mind they make those mattresses to last through multiple uses, not primarily for comfort. Buy them one of these, and they will be so happy you did. Both my daughter and her roommate say they sleep like babies on them and when I asked them, they both gave the memory foam 5 stars!
My daughter was not sleeping well in her college dorm. I had gotten a thin mattress topper, but it didn't provide enough comfort. She is now sleeping much more comfortably with this topper.
My daughter just started college and the mattress in the dorn was awful, so I sent for this item. After the first night she texted me, OMG so niceI couldn't wake up this morning! That says it all!
My mom bought this for me for my college dorm bed which i could not sleep on without all my blankets piled up underneath me. Was pretty sure that nothing would help my horrible dorm bed mattress. After bringing the memory foam mattress pad to my dorm and sleeping on it, it made a major improvement and i can now sleep soundly. The smell was not bad as some have stated. After airing it out for a day it was completely fine. I love it!!!
My second one purchased, it's that good. I only needed a twin size but the price and quality of this topper made my decision a no brainier. I could easily cut it to size and it was still a great deal! My first topper was purchased over a year ago and is still in great condition.
My son is at college and this memory foam mattress topper is the perfect size for the dorm bed. He said it made a BIG difference in the comfort of his bed and he slept much better.
Though the memory phone was good quality the CHEMICAL SMELL was overwhelming. After airing out the topper FOR A WEEK, the smell began to subside a little so I decided to put it on my bed. What a mistake. My bed reeked of chemicals and I had the remove the topper so I could sleep. I aired it our for a few more day to no improvement. This topper cannot be used. And also because of the overstock.com policy it also cannot be returned.
I bought this for my son for his college dorm room, and he loves it! Made all the difference in comfort.
