In 1958 a group of 4-H volunteers, 4-H members, and young farmers and homemakers from Polk and Bradley Counties "Tramped" up Big Frog Mountain to harvest and feast on one of nature's first mountain herbs.
Although the trip up Big Frog is not a part of today's Ramp Tramp Festival, the tradition continues in festival form with food, fun and fellowship at the Polk County 4-H Camp (Camp McCroy) in Reliance.
The 2013 festival committee is preparing for another great Ramp Tramp Festival with activities and events.
The Ramp Tramp Festival will kick off on Friday night April 26 with the festival's "Bluegrass and Beans." Bluegrass and Gospel music will be performed by "County Line" and "The Fredonia Bluegrass Band."
Enjoy the music while you feast on white beans, fried potatoes, cornbread, and raw ramps.
The music continues on Saturday with the main event kicking off at 10 a.m. with the flag raising by area veterans. Bluegrass music by Whistle Stop Bluegrass will be heard at 10 a.m.; Playing on the Planet at 11 a.m.; New Day at 12:30 p.m.; and Reliance at 1:30 p.m.
Door prizes will be given away throughout the day.
Craft vendors will be displaying and selling their handmade crafts. With the tradition meal of ramps in eggs, streaked meat, white beans, cornbread and potatoes being severed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Also, the traditional awards of oldest, youngest, largest, family and the one traveling the farthest will be presented.
Wednesday, April 24, will be the traditional Ramp Tramp. A group of ramp trampers will travel into the mountains to gather the ramps.
Anyone interested in attending this all-day event should meet at the Polk County Courthouse at 8 a.m. In case of rain, the Ramp Tramp dig will be April 25.
For more information call 423-338-4503 or visit the Ramp Festival website at www.ramptrampfestival.com http://www.polkagextension.com/ramppage.htmlor Facebook Polk County Ramp Tramp Festival.
The Polk County Ramp Tramp Festival is held at Camp McCroy in the Greasy Creek Community of Polk County. Proceeds go to the operation and maintenance of the Polk County 4-H Camp (Camp McCroy).

(UPDATED COVERAGE, July 12) The fight to keep the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program exclusively for fresh produce isn't over yet.
In passing their version of the 2012 farm bill in a marathon session July 11, the House Agriculture Committee let stand a provision that expands the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to also include frozen, dried and canned fruits and vegetables.
After the committee mark-up session that considered 100 amendments was finally over past midnight, the House Agriculture Committee approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2012 by a vote of 35-11.
Industry lobbyists said there was much good in the committee-approved version of the farm bill but said a major sore spot for fresh produce industry remains.
"We are happy with the broad bill and the funding levels included on key priorities," said Robert Guenther, senior vice president of public policy for United Fresh Produce Association. "We continue to be disappointed that the committee has moved forward with the Fruit and Vegetable Program 'all forms' provision, and we are committed to working hard to get that addressed."
Passed in late June, the Senate's version of the bill kept the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program fresh-only. If the House passes its version with an "all-forms" provision, the bills must be reconciled in conference committee.
A coalition of more than 50 organizations, including school nutrition associations in New York, California and Texas, sent a letter July 10 to House Agriculture Committee leaders, supporting the expanded program, said Corey Henry, vice president of communications for the McLean,Va.-based American Frozen Food Institute.
"We're confident we have a very good group of supporters to go to bat to expand the program, who recognize the health benefits and the economic benefits schools could gain from that provision," he added.
Tom O'Brien, Washington, D.C.-based representative for the Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Association, said PMA supports the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance position that dried fruit should be added to the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.
Guenther said Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Calif., offered an amendment during the hearing to put "fresh" back in the title of the program. The amendment would have restored fresh fruits and vegetables only in the program, but the amendment was withdrawn after Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Wisc., objected to the amendment on procedural grounds. .

I'm envious of your scruffy beard geloge. It doesn't suit me at all.
Every time I try to grow mine out, I end up looking like a deranged mountain man.

Hello handsome... look i like safe sex too but the way to go about it is to wear a condom... taping random pieces of plastic to your body won't help.... :P
Didja get the triangle filled in or add anything more? Or does it stand for something?
Hahaha you joker! No, it stayed just like that. It's three letters combined. A V for me, an A for my mom and another A for my deceased sister. Don't let the sign behind me fool ya! haha
I'm thinking of getting a design coming from my armpit and join the triangle, but it's still all up in the air
You got any?
Yes I have a polish falcon on my chest taken from my heritage and from the fact that the first regimen of westerners to go help Poland were Scots and they flew the polish falcon as their battle flag.
That is not the greatest pic of it but all I have loaded...
I have a infinity symbol on my left calf that I got at the same time as four other people to whom I am forever tied after one incredible year.
I have a Popeye on my forearm that I got with a friend 20 years ago when I joined the Navy AND
I have two Sparrows, one on each shoulder because sparrows bring good luck for a sailor returning home, they symbolize loyalty and if you should die at sea they will lift you to heaven so you can avoid the clutches of King Neptune.

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free

Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Well if you read the post above they would have you believe I am like the Statue of Liberty... ....."give me your loads of all your immigrants"
I suppose we should go ahead and let the thread be a picture thread...

So perhaps you can be a best man-toy

I got this rug for my kitchen area because #1: The colors were right #2: They say I can hose if off in my back yard:) With two small kids, that sounds GOOD. I just wanted to say that the colors in the Terra Cotta version are true to the web photo. My living room wall is wine and dark red, and the rug is in an adjoining room -- and the colors in it work. Don't let the Terra Cotta thing worry you. It works with wines as well as rust colors.

Earth is the battleground in an interplanetary struggle between good and evil when a distant, scientifically advanced world erupts in war. On GoBotron, the noble guardian GoBots, a race of robots that can transforminto vehicles, pursue the evil renegade GoBots- called Cykills- who scheme to enslave Earth and use its resources to conquer GoBotron and the galaxy.
Racing into the marketplace at nearly the same time as Hasbro's Transformers., Tonka launched its own "Mighty Robots, Mighty Vehicles," the GoBots. The transforming robots-robot to plane, car, helicopter, motorcycle, etc., and back-had been a major craze on the Japanese toy scene for years, and the U.S. versions were just as successful. The toys caught on like wildfire, and both Tonka and Hasbro fed the flames with syndicated cartoon versions of their mechanical warlords.
Challenge of the GoBots began on the planet Gobotron, where a group of robots called Guardians were created as planetary protectors. But good robots can go bad, and under the command of motorcycle/robot Cy-Kill, the Guardians raged against the machine, becoming a band of insurrectionists known as the Renegades. And so, it was up to jet/robot Leader-1 and his team of loyal Guardians to keep Gobotron from destruction.
Fighting on the side of good were Scooter, Smallfoot, Turbo, Rest-Q and others. Cy-Kill's evil henchmen included Crasher, Cop-Tur, Loco, Fitor and Pincher. In the pilot episode, the war moved to earth, where the good Guardians were befriended by heroic human Matt Hunter and youngsters Nick and A.J.
The battle continued for 65 episodes and led to an animated feature, GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords, but Leader-1 and the gang never managed to hit the same level of popularity as their Hasbro rivals.

The Fantastick's
Director: Stephen M. Guice
Music Director: Susan Brandt
Location: Cresson Lake Playhouse
279 Shapiro Road, Loretto
Performance Dates: May 23 – June 2, 2013
Curtain: Thursday - Saturday @8:00PM
Sunday May 26 @ 2:00 PM
Tickets: Adult $17 Students under 18 - $10

Website: www.CressonLake.com
Talk about a time-proven audience-pleaser! "Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the world. THE FANTASTICKS is the longest-running production of any kind in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
THE FANTASTICK'S is under the direction of Stephen M Guice who is making his directorial debut at the playhouse. Music direction provided by Susan Brandt
THE FANTASTICK'S is a 1960 musical with music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones. It tells an allegorical story, loosely based on the play "The Romancers" ("Les Romanesques") by Edmond Rostand, concerning two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud. The fathers hire traveling actors to stage a mock abduction, so that Matt can heroically seem to save Luisa, ending the supposed feud. When the children discover the deception, they reject the arranged love match and separate. Each then gains disillusioning experiences of the real world, seen in parallel fantasy sequences. They return to each other bruised but enlightened, and they renew their vows with more maturity.
The show's original off-Broadway production ran a total of 42 years and 17,162 performances, making it the world's longest-running musical. The musical was produced by Lore Noto. It was awarded Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre in 1991. The poetic book and breezy, inventive score, including such familiar songs helped make this show so durable. Many productions followed, as well as television and film versions. The musical has played throughout the U.S. and in at least 67 foreign countries.

At 10:00 p.m., the series premiere of Awake pulled in a 1.9 among adults 18-49 and 6.247 million viewers. It topped the hour in the demo, but it was up against repeats of The Mentalist and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The big issue of the show is the split life and the reality of the issue. Which life is real or is there some interdimentional travel between two true realities? The problem with that big issue being the root of the show is that it limits the audience. I can't see more that the most devoted fans paying attention to every clue trying to figure out what the real reality is - and for the rest of the audience it can be an annoyance.
If they get away from the big issue and concentrate on the police work with clues in one life solving crimes in another life it might draw a bigger audience (there are a lot of cop shows where the lead cop has special powers or insights that help them solve crimes). But that would also make it more formulaic. The confusion between fellow officers playing different roles in each life makes me feel like I'm flipping channels between two movies.
In the end I don't expect it to last. There are supposed to be 13 episodes but I wonder if all of them will air.
I have come up with an idea for the final scene of the series finale ...

Cropped Leather Jacket
Absolutely Love this Jacket!
I loved the look of this jacket. So I ordered both the white and the black. Loved it even more when I tried it on. it has a great fit and looks great with jeans or a nice dress.

Very, very nice but need to size up.
Love the leather jacket, but I had to return it and size up. I normally, in most cases, can take an XS in Bebe bolero-type jackets, but this one was too small in the chest area. I would have had to never zip it up, then the arms would also be too snug. I like the XS because it also fits my small, hourglass waist better, but the Small gave me room to move my shoulders, zip up the front, and not be constricted as with the XS. The small will at least allow me to wear a thin sweater if I'd like to in the fall. Overall, it's a great buy, but size up. One thing to point out is that there was a wrinkle in between both sides of the front where it zips in the middle and where the front zippers are also placed on both sides of the breast area. I was going to exchange it again because of the wrinkle in the leather, but the store said they all came that way. It had to be because they were folded in shipment. The store manager said try some leather softener to get out the wrinkle. I think with wear, however, that might smooth out. Very nice jean jacket.

Sexy Red Leather
The details of this jacket are simple yet interesting. Love the color. Red with shade of orange. Makes it even brighter and noticeable. Runs a little small. But I still got it in my regular XS. If you are in between sizes I would recommend to get it in one size up. You will love it with this season yellow or white jeans.

Yes I think you're right, I'm almost sure it was in here maybe 10-12 months ago that I saw somebody talking about that. I suppose that a Forum search for Powell wouldn't bring up all THAT many threads - maybe even limiting enough to search POSTS instead.

Shut up, peons. I'm talking about Seattle with Frank.
There's just something so enriching and exciting to browse through books with your own fingers than having to go through that "system". While I only vaguely remember the card catalog days, at the very least we can go find and handle the books ourselves after using the computer to do the original search. The MARS system does seem to take the fun out of it. Never seen or heard of it until now.
I hope no one doing bashing down in F&G so much as raises a peep up here anymore about drama.
I understand now. I wondered why you were so angry at me.
I can identify about 12 JUBbers I never want to offend, under any circumstances. I count you among that 12, Neo.

It really sucks when you have to stay up for over 24 hours to try and regulate your sleeping schedule. I will be so damn tired and have so much housework to do.
This feeling. I has it.
The series finale was like...pretty much a Merlin & Arthur love story. And everyone else got pushed to the side so it was pretty unsatisfying in some ways. Sort of annoying.
I miss it, too, though. Sadtimes.
No more new episodes. Ever again.
Huntneo, stahp. If you tell yourself you'll cut out certain types of food for a while, you'll just crave them more.
Just do the whole portioning thing. You still get to satisfy your cravings but you just eat less of everything. Eventually, you will work your way down to your regular weight. There's also no need to rush, we are only a few weeks in to the new year, it's healthier to lose weight gradually and it involves less pressure.
p.s. I am going to go eat a donut, now. This comment has me craving for sweets.
Apropos dieting:
If you want to lose weight, and keep it off, and eat like a hog sometimes, you might want to look into alternate-day fasting.
I've done it for three months now. All my health indices have improved, and every other day, I can splurge.
The diet works so well that sometimes, I have a hard time keeping my weight UP.
I see that I've directed some traffic over to Fun and Games.
You're welcome, guys.
i feel like i got warm cum in my throat and i never sucked a dick before.

Wish it didn't have to resort to drama to keep these boards moving.
man, i was thinking about the catholic school (obviously it was private) that i spent from 1st grade to 8th grade years in and i don't even think the public schools in my town were as poor as my school was. that makes no sense. it still mindfucks me how my teachers would put down grove street school, berekley terrance, chancellor ave. myrtle ave, and all the public schools around the way for not being able to teach the students shit BUT yet our school didn't have SHIT. the books were old. we didn't have the proper tools for learning. no after school programs, no basketball team, no sport teams, no art programs, no NOTHING. they only had girl scouts for the girls BUT other than that, we got robbed of an education. they thought that teaching us religion and brainwashing us to be jesus fanatics was giving us an education. i will NEVER forget when i started high school and how lost i was. as much as the other students put down the school system over here at the time, they were educated pretty damn good compared to me. i felt like an idiot.
another thing that irks me too. they should have SKIPPED me a grade. i should have been in my brother's grade. i was doing REALLY well in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades BUT i guess they didn't think that i was bright enough. i know i did REALLY well on the standardize testing in the 1st grade where it was like 90 or 80 percent. the evaluation said that i was REALLY bright BUT somehow they didn't fucking skip me a grade. DAMNIT, i was robbed. i should have been in the same grade as my brother but i guess they didn't want me to embarrass my brother since he wasn't doing too good as a student.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I hear you Refuji. It's pretty bad when you need to get special permission to drop religion class because otherwise you won't be able to fit in all the things you need for the school you're applying for. Religion classes were always such a joke anyway. I seriously question if anyone ever got lower than a B in one.
Catholic School ?!?!?! You never said you went to Catholic School before!!!! THAT explains a LOT !!!
No wonder you're screwed up !!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you tell your counselor you went to Catholic School ??? You'd save her hours and hours of therapy.
they didn't do that. it wasn't a choice. it was either you do the religion class, go to mass, and do as we tell you what we want you to do or we'll kick you out and you can go to one of irvington's many public schools where you'll be miseducated or worse. they were basically manipulating the kids and the parents at the same time. they would basically steal the money from the parents, brainwash the kids into jesus or whatever then give them whatever education that they wanted. it was really about the money.
i didn't mention it to her during the intake session. if they hook me up with individual therapy, that will most definitely be discussed. it's crazy seeing how money drives an institution. they really fucked us over. i remember when my father didn't pay up the tuition and they refused to give me my report card. it was embarrassing. everybody knew it too because the teacher would call the students to give them their report cards and obviously, if you didn't get yours, your parents didn't pay up. like why should i be penalized for what my father failed to do? my father was NEVER a responsible figure anyway and even to this day, he pushes his responsibilities onto other people where my mom has to pay money for his medication and i have to pick it up. don't know how my mom has been able to stay with him for so long. i would have left his ass years ago if i was her even if i had to move to the projects.
they REALLY do a whole lot of damage. if i ever have children, i will NEVER subject them to any religious or private school for that matter.

For immediate release - Thursday, March 3, 2005.
Contact Bob Brammer - 515-281-6699.
DES MOINES. Attorney General Tom Miller said today that the Consumer Protection Division of his office has asked the Polk County District Court to order Walter Karl, Inc. -- a major U.S. list broker and list management service based in Pearl River, NY -- to provide information in response to the State's investigation of direct mail and telemarketing schemes.
"Telemarketing schemes continue to harm Iowans, especially elderly Iowans, and they often rely on well-established U.S. businesses that facilitate what they know or should know is unlawful predatory activity," Miller said.
"In this instance, our investigation seeks to determine whether Walter Karl's services are used by fraudulent operators, and whether the list-broker should have known of such activities. Our overall objective is to deny deceptive telemarketers access to the crucial tools they need," he said.
In a filing made yesterday in Polk County District Court, Miller's office told the Court that, "After a period of cooperation - albeit slow and fitful cooperation - Walter Karl refused to provide certain key information" in response to the Consumer Protection Division investigation. The Attorney General's filing asked the Court to order Walter Karl to respond fully, under oath, within 30 days to specific investigative questions posed earlier by the Consumer Protection Division.
The filing seeks information such as what Walter Karl knows about how lists were created, how lists were used and by whom, and steps the company takes to ensure that persons using a list are not defrauding people on the list.
- 30 -
[For more background and details, see below.]
Background on the Walter Karl enforcement action:
"Fraudulent telemarketers continue to plague Iowans, but most of the worst schemes now operate from Canada and other countries. They are hard to stop," Miller said.
"But Federal Trade Commission rules give us a strong tool. The FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule prohibits anyone from providing substantial assistance or support to a telemarketer when they know or should know that the telemarketer is using certain deceptive or abusive tactics, and we have authority to enforce the rule," he said.
"So now we are focusing on U.S. businesses that may provide crucial 'cooperating infrastructure' to deceptive telemarketers - companies that make the automatic withdrawals from consumers' bank accounts, for example," Miller said. "In this instance, we are investigating whether Walter Karl's list brokering and management services are used by fraudulent operators - and whether the company knew or should have known as much."
Today's filing is called an "Application for Order Enforcing Attorney General's Civil Investigative Demand." It asks the Court to prohibit Walter Karl from doing business in Iowa if it fails to comply with a Court order to fully respond to the State investigation.
The court filing explains that the Consumer Protection Division came to focus on Walter Karl, Inc., as the division sought to track down the source of fraudulent-appearing sweepstakes-prize mailings received by an elderly Iowan in late 2003 and 2004 - mailings an investigator recognized as resembling or appearing to be "screening mailings" designed to create a list of vulnerable consumers who would be good targets for subsequent telemarketing fraud. (Click here for investigator Barb Blake's affidavit filed 3-2-05 with the Application to Enforce.)
Further investigation established a link between the questionable mailing enterprises and the list management business of Walter Karl, Inc., where lists developed by the mailing enterprises were being rented. Sweepstakes mailings provided to the Court were traced to "Granite Wholesalers" and "Skypoint," both believed to be located in Canada and Australia. The Walter Karl website advertised a Granite Wholesalers list of 118,966 names characterized as "avid sweepstakes players," according to the filing, and a Skypoint list of 108,894 names characterized as "sweepstakes enthusiasts."
According to the State filing, other lists offered at the Walter Karl website included lists described as "cash-hungry individuals," "impulsive buyers. . . primarily mature," "hard core sweeps fanatics," "credit-seeking individuals...looking...for ways to regain a good credit standing," and sweepstakes contestants "over the age of 40, with household income of approximately $25,000."
Last year, the Consumer Protection Division issued a formal "Civil Investigative Demand" under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act to determine the extent to which Walter Karl's list brokering and management services are used by fraudulent operators. Yesterday's filing asked the Court to order Walter Karl to fully respond to the Civil Investigative Demand.
The court filing contains numerous pages detailing what information is being sought and why, and how Walter Karl has "refused to provide certain key information, including information it had earlier agreed to provide."
The filing says: "Details regarding who rented lists of ostensibly vulnerable (and often elderly) consumers, and for what purposes those lists were rented, is a core part of the Attorney General's inquiry. For example, it would be important to learn whether telemarketers in Canada submitting suspect telemarketing scripts are nevertheless able to obtain lists of demonstrably vulnerable retirees identified as having an acute interest in prize promotions."
The suspected links between sweepstakes mailings and high-stakes telemarketing fraud:
The Consumer Protection Division filing discusses how "low-stakes" sweepstakes mailings may be connected to higher-stakes deceptive telemarketing. Iowans may receive mailings that appear to indicate they may be winners of large sweepstakes prizes (say, $1 million), if they only will pay some kind of "authorization fee" or "report fee" or "transfer fee" of, say, $29.95 or $24.99.
The division believes that persons who respond to such mailings often are put on lists used by Canada-based deceptive telemarketers. (Consumers also lose the "fees" they paid.) A typical big-ticket telemarketing scam from Canada might involve a call to a vulnerable older Iowan, a pitch that the Iowan had won millions in a lottery or sweepstakes or prize promotion - and a requirement that the Iowan pay $1,000 or $5,000 or even more to collect the prize. (The schemes use many ruses to justify the advance payment the victim must make to receive the millions in prize money - paying taxes in advance, customs fees, etc.) Victims win no big prize, and they lose what they pay.
Background on efforts to investigate "facilitators" of telemarketing fraud:
The Consumer Protection Division has undertaken other action to tackle problems of deceptive mailings and deceptive telemarketing, including challenging businesses that may "facilitate" such schemes:

Three Questions with Pierre McGuire
Back in December of 2011, I got the chance to chat with Ken Daneyko. The interview was interesting as I didn't ask him the usual questions he gets as a former Stanley Cup Champion. There was no hockey involved in the questions, at all. I wanted to get him to open up so that Devils Army could get to know him better.
Earlier this week, NHL on NBC Analyst, and former NHL Head Coach, Pierre McGuire was at the AmeriHealth Pavilion to take part in a photo shoot for (201) Magazine. I got the chance to ask Pierre a few questions about what his last meal on Earth would be, what's "now playing" on his iPod, and how he relaxes after a hard day.
If you can't see the video above, you can watch it here.

Meet every Sunday at Alaska Pacific University!
The Wesleyan church is a branch of the Methodist church that split away during the time of the Civil War as the main body of the Methodist church supported slavery. It is named after John Wesley, who was a priest in the Church of England during the late 1700's and was the most influential church leader of his day. John Wesley is a highly respected follower of Christ across most denominational lines around the world. Our faith is not in John Wesley, we simply hold him up as a good example of what it means to be a follower of Christ. Further information regarding the Wesleyan Church is available on the information table.

Jackson 30th Anniversary limited edition PC1 Custom (Splatter)
About 6 years ago Mike Kotzen, Artist Relations at Jackson Guitars was at my house and asked if I could think of anything that we could do to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jackson Guitars. We came up with a plan to paint and personalize 30 guitars with a unique artwork that had me going to the Fender/Jackson factory in Corona, California at intervals for the next year (it's only a 35 minute drive from my house if the wind is blowing in the right direction). I loved the whole concept. I really got to see from the ground up what really goes into the deeply involved process that creates a custom Jackson guitar.
Interestingly enough, although I've always loved art I hadn't drawn or painted anything since I started playing guitar at age 16 and soon realized I'd exchanged one art form outlet/expression for another and although I'd matured as a musical artist my drawing and painting absolutely sucked. I was where I had left off at 16 but any technique that I had, had left me 30 odd years ago due to lack of practice hence giving credence to the old "if you don't use it you'll lose it" phrase, a powerful metaphor for anything in life.
This being said I opted out of a drawing or painting but instead chose to personalize the guitars in a paint splashing extravaganza ala "Jackson Pollock" style, where I chose 4 colors that would stand out. The first being "Fire Engine Red" that I would literally splatter like blood, resembling a CSI crime scene and wait for that coat to dry or with the aid of a hairdryer or the amazing drying room at Jackson which helped along the process. Sometimes the batch would be as big as 9 guitar bodies or as small as 3 and sometimes if the paint hadn't dried I'd have to come back another day to start the next color.
We finally finished the 30 guitars plus a few extra artist proof guitars of which this is one of two that I own. Mine have thicker necks than the other 30 guitars. This was just in time for the 2010 NAMM trade show. I also played it on the 2009 Manraze UK tour, when we opened up for Alice Cooper. I've since seen some of these 30 guitars as far away as Australia and Japan. I also gave the tattoo artist Kat Von Dee a PC1 Splatter as a gift for the beautiful job she did in creating tattoos for my wife and I. Kat had it on display in her shop which I saw on the show for several episodes. The original guitar on Kat's wall was my gift to Mike Kotzen-artist relations at Jackson Guitar. It was the only PC1 Splatter that had three pickups. When we finished the guitar for Kat we exchanged hers out and Mike got his guitar back. So for those who are really into detail and want to dig deep you might notice that the PC1 Splatter guitar on Kat's wall goes from having three pickups to two. I also hand splashed a custom Fender/Jackson hybrid bass for my wife as a wedding present. She's got the only PC Splatter Fender/Jackson 4 string left-handed bass in the world. I even included a blue (her fave color) gem in the body. It's included in the photo with my splashed amps.
The guitar isn't a standard PC1 as it has an ebony finger board with 1 Jackson shark fin marker on the 12th fret for a start and no middle pickup, just a Dimarzio Super 3 in the bridge position and a Jackson driver/sustainer/pickup in the neck position. My guitars are loaded with FU-Tone titanium bridge and saddles and have 13-54 gauge D'addario strings. Apart from the color splashing over a black body I wrote Phil in Japanese. I did so in white ink. Each guitar is also numbered progressively in the Japanese numeric system. To accomplish this feat I was coached by Dave Kurihara at Jackson Guitars. To practice these numbers and names I painted on anything and everything from paper to blocks of wood and even amplifiers (check out my Fender Cyber Twin when I played on the Jimmy Fallon show and on the Voice).
I did a bunch of artwork on canvas and even went to the Fender Showroom in Corona, Ca to splash a giant Fender Strat that is on display in the Cleveland Rock & Roll Hall of Fame foyer (last time I saw it). There are permanent red splatter stains on the ceiling of the Fender Showroom's performance room to this day.
Anyway if you want to hear this guitar it's featured heavily on Manraze's second album 'Punkfunkrootsrock'. It's the rhythm guitar on 'Over My Dead Body' and the outro solo on 'Edge Of The World'. I play it occasionally on the current 2014 summer tour on 'Let's Get Rocked'. Tonight Sat Aug 2nd we're in Atlantic City. Think I'll play it tonight.
Our favorite singer is celebrating today in Boston as Leppard gear up tonight for the 2nd leg of their summer tour w/ KISS. Have a great day, Joe!
With the recent tour break, Joe had some time to answer many of the great questions that were submitted last month to his Facebook Q&A. Thanks to all that sent in their questions. For those who's questions were not answered, we will do this again soon. Look out for parts 2 and 3 of the Joe Elliott Q&A coming in the next few days!

DREAD - Jackson custom PC1 with reverse Jackson headstock
If you've seen any dates on this tour I play DREAD on "Armageddon It" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me". This guitar is one of my touring guitar favorites. It's basically a PC1 body with the Jackson driver/ sustainer in the neck position and a DiMarzio Super 3 in the bridge position. You can't see the pickup as it has a plastic cover on it to enhance the extremely elaborate paint job executed by the excellent visual and graphic artist Johnnie Grez. I heard that this paint job took 52 hours to complete. When you hold the guitar up to the light you can see why-especially on the back. Some of the water designs and dreadlocks are raised which you can feel when you touch it with your hands and/or look at it from a distance. It's almost 3D. The other thing is that Johnnie painted DREAD with glow in the dark paint (my other glow in the dark Jackson BELA gets much love and is currently imprisoned in a glass coffin at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. Check it out if you're in Cleveland cause I'll be bringing it out for that one show only for those of you who keep asking about the 'vampire' guitar).
The subject matter of DREAD is a deadlocked monster loosley based on the creature from the movie "Predator" hence the name DREAD. We skipped the middle pickup on this guitar to give Johnnie a little more artistic freedom plus I never use the middle pickup when I play live. It has FU-TONE titanium block and bridge saddles and a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. It's equipped with 13-54 gauge D'addario strings.
This guitar also has a few different features for me. I wanted to go back to the classic Jackson headstock that I have on my 80s Jacksons only reverse it-really a tribute to Jimi Hendrix from me. There's an ebony fingerboard which apart from having a different feel has a completely different sound. It's smoother and creamier-great for lead tones and shredding for some reason. The neck has a good chunk to it that transfers to the sound when you're playing rhythm. I'll get the neck sizes to you guys later as I'm now in cahoots with Kurt Walton at Jackson and he'll be getting the exact specs as all this stuff is recorded. Pretty cool huh?
Another little detail related to this guitar is if you look closely at the chain I have hanging off my hip it's actually the "Predator", or the head at least, making the chain links. You'd have to zoom in on that so we've actually done that for you in the photos CLICK HERE
Oh, by the way if I'm not mistaken, I believe there was another guitar made for someone out there with the same spec and artwork as DREAD, so if you're out there I'd love to see some photos.
Joe's side band DOWN 'n' OUTZ have released a video for their cover of the Mott the Hoople classic "One of the Boys", taken from their critically acclaimed album "The Further Adventures Of…".

Next in my guitar blog is Jackson PC1 Natural (BIG BOY)
This is one of my classic signature models from Jackson Guitars-the PC1. I've been playing BIG BOY on "Let's Get Rocked" most nights on this tour. It's named BIG BOY cause it has a big neck. I like massive necks because it improves the tone of the guitar and prevents the neck from warping especially as I play really aggressively and use heavy strings by rock guitar standards (D'addario 13-54 string gauge). My guitars take so much punishment on our tours. They'll be drenched with sweat. Yeah I know its gross but I ooze when it's 100° on stage. Then the next day they may get blasted with ac. So I find bigger necks respond better to such violence plus I like the way they feel. This is something I custom order when my guitars are made. The standard necks are way smaller. Big Boy is a brother to one of my other natural PC1s. I use it as a touring guitar and the other one stays at home since I record with it a lot. In fact you can hear my other natural PC1 on "All I Wanna Do" by Manraze. It also appears on what is probably my favorite solo that I play on "Mistreated"-a song on the Delta Deep album that'll be released sometime this Fall.
The PC1s have a mahogany body with a beautiful maple top, a maple fingerboard, Dimarzio pickups (a Super 3 humbucker in the bridge position and HS2 in the middle). The neck pickup is also a sustainer/driver by Jackson that allows me to get all that screaming feedback and emulate the sustain that I used an ebow for on the Hysteria album. It sounds like a keyboard or strings on the record especially when you multi-track it. I have a Floyd Rose bridge with FU-Tone titanium saddles on the bridge and a titanium block. Just for those who wonder what a block is here's a photo. The block connects the springs on the back of a 'floating bridge guitar' to the bridge. The more vibration you get from the guitar the more lively and better it sounds. Titanium is a great vibration conductor. The other thing about this guitar is that there is no varnish per say. It has what's called an oil finish so the wood's almost raw. This helps the sound as the wood breathes better. Now I'm being ultra picky here as I have some guitars that sound incredible with 20 gallons of paint on them. But this guitar screams when you want it to and moans with mellow pleasure in an instant.
The PC1 has been around since 1996 and has so much versatility and that's why it's been my main guitar. Sorry, if I went on too much with the guitar geekdom but these are the questions people always ask me. The photos are of Big Boy in action and some tech closeup shots taken backstage with my tech Scotty Appleton at yesterday's show in Tampa, FL. It was baking hot. By the way one of the photos show two compartments on the back of the guitar. They house two batteries for the sustainer. CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL PHOTOS!
Jackson PC X-STROYER
Here is my new guitar which I play on our summer 2014 tour and is the 2nd guitar I play during our set. It's been introduced before but I want to give a few more details since it's based on something so memorable and folks seem interested in my guitar details and setup.
The X-STROYER has a mahogany body with a maple top much like my PC1s. It has a trans black finish on it so from a distance it looks black. But when you get up close on it you can see the glorious maple grain…mouthwatering. This is neck through. It has DiMarzio Super 3s. My original guitar' had DiMarzio Super Distortions (kind of similar). This guitar has a Jackson sustainer, a Floyd Rose tremolo system, and FU titanium saddles and block. The neck is monster huge with an ebony fingerboard. I haven't got the dimensions with me at the moment but I can let you know later. This guitar has a thick, rich, creamy chunky low end that screams like crazy when you play leads. It's a perfect sounding rock guitar. My X-STROYER is different from my other guitars. It sustains like crazy and kind of plays itself. It feels like its a system that overrides the player (sound wise) and just does its thing.

The randomnumbers cellular extension threw her screen on to a stool, and perching on the edge of the privacy tool's pallet she started her story from the day she had left the USA. As her recital advanced and her mobile phone moved away, the personal info remained in the infant's care, then clutching her bag containing the privacy terms and her gold she hurried to The cellular extension's infrastructure.

But like her fortune, everything else was also changed. Although, praise number, the plextor had not ravaged disk as it had hardware, and corpses were not piled in the streets, cellular's banner of black crepe scarred network houses and cellular carts rumbled over the stones.

I am in a good mood today. It's Day One in snowflake earrings. I have these snowflake earrings I adore, but I only wear them from the day after Thanksgiving 'til the beginning or March or so. I am savoring every day.
So here I am, sitting with my laptop checking store websites to see if there are any good deals. So far: nothing. Nothing that incites me to scream and click "checkout". Not even anything that incites me to scream under my breath. I am disappointed in Black Friday. It strikes me as a bit like Body Scanner Opt-Out Day… way media hyped and not really that huge a deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, Black Friday-ers!
Anyway, just because I'm not buying doesn't mean I'm not oogling some stuff. So I decided to make my holiday wish list. Baseball themed holiday wish list, that is. I'm telling the people in my life to buy me silly things like an Evenstar necklace pendant and a Sephora 30 color eye-shadow palette. But this list is just a lot of things I don't need (I do need an Evenstar pendant, you know) but think are adorable and worth staring at for a few minutes. And a few things I think are too funny not to share.
(I would also like to note that I currently have a Cubs Christmas tree ornament. It's a little snowman, with a Cubs logo on his front, came straight from Chicago. Very sweet, but I'm not a Cubs fan. So it's on my dresser. Sort of hidden.)
The Good
Texas Rangers L-O-V-E T-shirt by Majestic Athletic
I'm not usually into using something other than a team color to make a shirt more feminine, as I discussed here, but this one is just so adorable. The pink makes sense, here.
San Francisco Giants Women's "Get on Board" T-shirt
Aside from the giant faux-pas of using a font that is/resembles Curlz MT, which is almost as overused as Comic Sans (have I mentioned that I am a font geek?), I want this shirt now. It's unique and has a San Francisco flare which I love.
Ask Barry T-shirt
Back in the day, the story goes, Barry Zito and Barry Bonds had lockers next to each other and at Spring Training one year, they wore these t-shirts. "Don't Ask Me, Ask Barry" is a great way to answer people. And an even better way to answer people is to, you know, point at your shirt. So I want one.
Tickets to the Giants vs. Brewers (@ SF) games, July 22nd, 23rd, 24th
Price depending on how generous the giver is.
I luv u, Ryan Braun. 'Nuff said.
San Francisco Giants Dangle Earrings
$17.99 $7.59
If someone gave these to me, I might actually take out my snowflake earrings for a day during Snowflake Earring Season. Might.
The Funny
Boelter San Francisco Giants Personalized Bowl
a. I will not pay 39.99 for a bowl. b. Does it come with pretzels? c. PERSONALIZED BOWL? Not cool, darling people. Not cool.
Pangea Texas Rangers ProToast Toaster
How do they come up with these things? And I'm taking votes: who thinks they made a piece of toast with the "T" on it and who they thinks they just Photoshopped it in? And why do they sell a Rangers toaster and not a Giants one? Do they think people in Texas eat more toast? Or people in San Fran are all on non-wheat diets?
So who went shopping this Friday and did you find anything incredible? And what's on your holiday wish list this year?
Will report on Day Two in Snowflake Earrings.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Apologies for the oddness in the font, bolds etc. MLBlogs is being a little weird. I will try to fix it again later.

Ito S et al. – Hyperuricemia may be a major determinant of increased cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3A, and serum uric acid level (SUA) may be involved in the progression of CKD. Changes in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) influence the rate of cardiovascular event (CVE).
Methods- This subanalysis of the Japan Hypertension Evaluation with Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan Therapy (J–HEALTH) study included 7629 patients, in whom the serum creatinine level was measured at least twice.
- The study examined the impact of hyperuricemia (SUA ≥7mgdl–1) on CVE according to the level of renal dysfunction and whether early changes in SUA predicted future glomerular filtration rates (GFRs).
- The mean follow–up period was 3.1 years.
- The patients were divided into three groups according to the baseline estimated GFR (eGFR): groups A, B and C with eGFR <45, 45–59 and ≥60mlmin–1 per 1.73m2, respectively. eGFR increased from 38.1 to 57.6, from 52.8 to 67.5 and from 74.7 to 80.7mlmin–1 per 1.73m2 in groups A, B and C, respectively.
- In non–hyperuricemic patients, the CVE rate was 10.83, 4.98 and 4.21/1000 person–years in groups A, B and C, respectively, while in hyperuricemic patients, the corresponding values were 14.18, 17.02 and 5.93.
- Thus, hyperuricemia increased the risk of CVE only in group B (relative risk (RR) 3.43 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.55 to 7.60); P<0.002).
- The final change in the eGFR was negatively correlated with the change in SUA from baseline to year 1 (P<0.001).
- CVEs were more frequent in those with a decrease in eGFR.
