Fifty years ago, Wayne Moss created a studio in his Nashville garage. And while big‑money, purpose‑built complexes have come and gone, Cinderella Sound still thrives today.
If you heard that a studio's client list included Linda Ronstadt, the Steve Miller Band, Tony Joe White, Kiss, Chet Atkins, the Whites (of Brother Where Art Thou fame), Billy Swan and Memphis Slim, you'd probably assume it was a slick, purpose‑built facility somewhere in America.
Well, you'd be right about America, but wrong about virtually everything else. The studio in question is in fact Cinderella Sound, tucked away in a hard‑to‑find, semi‑rural, residential area on the outskirts of Nashville, full of clapperboard houses with open porches. Housed in what was originally a two‑car garage, with a vocal booth in a minuscule bathroom converted from a coal cellar, Cinderella couldn't be in starker contrast to the corporate, office‑block‑style studios of Nashville's Music Row.
Nashville's oldest surviving independent studio, Cinderella was started in 1961 by virtuoso guitarist Wayne Moss, whose impressive session credits include Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman' and Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde album (the distinctive jangle guitar line on 'I Want You' is his), amongst many others. This is also the studio where Moss's group Area Code 615 cut 'Stone Fox Chase', the harmonica‑driven number most famous as the theme to the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test.
Walking through the tiny control room, you arrive at the shag‑pile‑carpeted Studio B, which is just slightly smaller than a bedroom in a 1930s semi-detached house. Passing the bathroom/vocal booth used by Linda Ronstadt, you walk into the similarly small Studio C. (There is no Studio A, as Moss says he's never seen a Studio A "that had any soul. Elvis had the choice of RCA's A or B. He chose B, you know?")
But whilst the rooms may be small, they're also crammed with historic (and still fully functioning) equipment, such as the custom‑built Flickinger console — one of only a handful that survive of a design famously used by the likes of Sly Stone and Ike Turner, and, more recently, the Kills. There are also original RCA 44 microphones from the 1930s, the Gibson amp Moss played through on 'Pretty Woman', and a Yamaha grand piano once used by Ray Charles, not to mention a cornucopia of miscellaneous equipment, from cowbells and washboards to a Hammond organ.
But it's not all vintage equipment: Cinderella Sound is still a fully functioning commercial studio, despite having no web site nor even being listed in the phone book. Consequently, Moss also uses an Alesis HD24 digital multitracker and an Apple Mac, on which he will shortly be installing Pro Tools.
When Moss first started Cinderella Sound, he was playing guitar with his lifelong friend and similarly virtuoso multi‑instrumentalist session musician Charlie McCoy. The group had been running their own local nightclub, the Sack, hosting guest performances from the likes of Carl Perkins and the Everly Brothers, most of whom the group backed. When the nightclub folded, they decided to make use of the equipment they had acquired and set up a studio in Moss's suburban garage.
They started to cut folk instrumentals and demos on a mono, two‑track machine and as Moss — now a trim 73‑year‑old with shoulder‑length, straight white hair and an arid wit — explains, "There was no overdubs, no punch‑ins, no anything. It was straight 'What you see is what you get.'" The pick light that illuminates when recording starts and the burlap lining the ceiling in the studios both came from the nightclub and the group, as did a Steinway piano presented to them as a gift by a local record label chief.
Through their session work, both Moss and McCoy had already begun to pick up a certain amount of technical know‑how when it came to recording. "We built all the baffles and put rollers on them and stuff, 'cause we saw where mistakes had been made in other studios," remembers Moss.
In order to get the tight sound they had achieved in the other studios, Moss realised the importance of having the rhythm section in close proximity to each other. "This setup here," Moss tells me, indicating a small triangular space, "bass player was here, drummer was here and piano was here — that's the same way it was at Columbia B and pretty similar to the way it was at RCA B, which were the best‑sounding rooms. I stole ideas from here and from there, and I would pick the brains of all the engineers in town and say 'Why do you use that mic on this?' and they'd say 'Well, because it'll take a lot of volume without breaking up,' or 'Because you can hear your hair growing with it,' or whatever, so I gained a lot of knowledge from Bill Vandevort, Bill Porter [both at RCA], Selby Coffeen [the legendary Nashville engineer whose credits include Patsy Cline's 'Crazy'] — different ones."
Moss and McCoy also gleaned valuable tips from engineers at other studios, including Chess in Chicago, particularly in terms of which mics they used and how. "I wanted to get that Chess, Checker and Argo sound, and so this is what they used," he says, pointing to an Electro‑voice OA16 mike. Also, this [an Altec] was on the snare, so I went out and got one just like it."
There were, however, some aspects of the Chess setup that Moss was less keen to replicate. "When we were at Chess Records, I'd say 'Where are the mics in the piano?' and they'd say 'Well, we have to tear 'em down after every session.' 'How come?' 'Because people will steal them.' 'Well why don't you not use those people?'" he laughs. "Mine are inside the piano and they stay there. The Leslie up here has microphones that are permanent. They stay there, so when you flip the switch you're gonna get a Leslie."
The historic RCA 44 ribbon microphones, meanwhile, came out of Castle Studios — Nashville's first recording studio, which was started in the late 1940s.
The adjoining Studio C, with its bare stone floors and rugs, is still recognisably a garage, albeit one crammed with cabinets and more equipment, including a special convection oven for 'baking' brittle old tape and a Sonor drum kit. "This room is very live," explains Moss. "If you really want live you pull the rug up. All these slick walls in here, all these cabinets and everything, make it sound huge. And so once again we got two of these $8000 mics [the RCA 77s] that pick up the cymbals and stuff."
But in such a residential area, isn't this likely to cause problems with the neighbours, particularly with sessions at three in the morning? "No," says Moss. First of all, there's about eight inches of foam and thick brick in the walls to stop the sound filtering in, and secondly, as Moss explains matter‑of‑factly, "I just bought out the neighbours. No problem."
Although Moss initially engineered sessions at Cinderella himself, he did eventually draft in some technical support, in the shape of Neil Wilburn, who was, at this point, merely a local electrical technician, but later became one of Columbia Records' top studio engineers, working on classic albums such as Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline and Leonard Cohen's Songs From A Room. "Before he came here," remembers Moss, "he sold resistors and stuff at a place out in the West End. And I asked him 'Please come and be my engineer and fix stuff when it's broken.' He said 'I don't know anything about music.' I said 'You don't have to. Just know how to fix stuff when they break.'"
By the mid‑'60s, Moss had progressed to a four‑track recorder and Cinderella was swiftly gaining a reputation for cutting records with breadth and depth that belied the size and homeliness of his studio setup. "We liked to double things a lot," Moss explains. "Chet Atkins called me one day and said 'What kind of phaser do you use?' I said 'I don't use a phaser.' 'Well, how do you get that big sound?' I said 'I double it.' And he was amazed by this. He said 'I notice that when somebody's using a phaser and you slip into mono it disappears in the centre. Yours doesn't do that. How come?' I said 'Because it's not a phaser. It's this guitar and this guitar. They're different, but they're playing the same thing.'
"It's harder than it sounds, though. You take the first track, play it back, play with it and put it on another track. Put one on the left, one on the right and they'll vary from each other ever so slightly, enough to sound like an electronic phaser, which it wasn't. If you play exactly the same thing, you're gonna have enough variations so it's gonna sound like it's phasing or doing something, 'cause you're never gonna play it exactly the same. There are people that never play the same thing twice. They don't know how, or they can't, or they have no interest in it, so that's not for them."
Rather than just getting a large sound for the sake of it, Moss was also consciously trying to stretch the limits of what was possible within a relatively small setup. "Back in the day when the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper came out," he explains, "it just blew everybody's mind because it was so elaborate but they did it on four tracks. So we were trying to prove the same thing over here."
Cinderella subsequently acquired an eight‑track, and Moss's ability to create big sounds also extended to replicating convincing string sections. Although there were times when he did indeed have up to 13 string players in the studios, and some eight horns, he was also adept at building a more than plausible sound with many fewer musicians. He had used the effect with particular success on 'Stone Fox Chase', and the sound had impressed the Nashville singer Alex Harvey (not to be confused with the Scotsman of the same name), who came to Cinderella in 1971. "He came in here," remembers Moss, "and he cut a wonderful record called 'To Make My Life Beautiful'. He said he was gonna go to lunch and he wanted me to put on some of those fuzzy string things 'Like you guys do on that Area Code stuff, you know?' So when he came back, I had, like, a 12‑piece string section done, and he said 'Wow!' He was impressed and so was I.
"We call it the Goodlettsville sextet [Goodlettsville being the broader surrounding area of Nashville]. Newbury [cult singer‑songwriter Mickey] chose to call it 'the Nashville harmonic', but it would consist of various instruments. One of them would be Buddy Spiker playing one fiddle, and then the steel, electric guitar, another electric guitar, organ, whatever, playing the different parts to simulate a string section. But a lot of it was run through fuzztones and stuff to make it sound like a fiddle or a violin, and so if you put that on enough times — and we did, we doubled it and stuff — it sounds huge."
Today, Moss still often uses the doubling technique, but he also has contemporary tools including a Korg synthesizer with the usual selection of strings, horns and so on. But even when using this, Moss often tends to combine it with his secret weapon: Ray Charles's Yamaha grand, which sits directly beside it. "You can do stuff with this, you know?" says Moss, pointing at the Korg. "Layer things, have a piano behind it playing the same thing. A lot of people have those, but they don't all have this," he says, pointing at the seven-foot Yamaha and playing a bass chord.
Like most of the equipment at Cinderella, there's a story behind the piano, which Moss acquired in 1970 after Ray Charles had played it on the long‑running American country music TV show Hee Haw. When Charles arrived to rehearse at the TV studios, he was presented with a five‑foot‑two Yamaha grand, but according to Moss, after playing a few low notes, Charles complained that "It ain't big enough. Get me another one." The larger seven‑foot‑four model was duly delivered, but the effort of having to shift two mightily heavy pianos, not once but twice, apparently aggrieved the piano movers so much that after Charles had used it on the show, it mysteriously got scratched in the move. The 'accident' worked to Moss's advantage: "They put a scratch on the side of this one taking it out of there, and knocked a thousand dollars off of it. They should have added a thousand because Ray Charles played it, but I ended up with it and it's the best‑sounding piano in Nashville. It's the brightest piano in Nashville, and bright's what you need for recording. You can always add bottom, but you can't add bright if it isn't there.
"All pianos sound good up here," he adds, playing a few higher-register notes, "but it takes seven feet to do that," playing some still higher ones, which sound amazingly bright. "People lacquer the hammers to make 'em bright. This one came bright. It doesn't have lacquer. It had a cup of coffee in it once, but nothin' else."
By the end of the '60s, Cinderella had progressed from an eight‑track to a 16‑track recorder, and eventually to a custom‑built 24‑channel Flickinger console. "When we got our 24," explains Moss, "there was only two other studios in Nashville had those. So if you wanted to get a funky sound, this was the place to come. And as a result, we had everyone from Tony Joe White to Billy Swann."
Artists were also drawn to the exceptional musicianship of the Cinderella house band: essentially Moss, McCoy and drummer Kenny Buttrey. Steve Miller was a case in point. "[Miller] was crazy about McCoy's harp playing," remembers Moss, who played bass on various recordings Miller made at Cinderella, including 'Going To The Country' from the hit 1970 album Number Five. "And he knew I understood what a guitar was supposed to sound like, so he played guitar and I played bass. I even had a remote out here where I could start and stop the machine and not have any engineer at all. Just preset things. I would say 'Charlie, play me some bass,' and then we'd get level, and so we'd go out here and the tape machine would roll in the other room. And he had an Echoplex that he liked to play with a lot and run things and loop 'em. Fly Like An Eagle [Miller's platinum selling 1976 album] has got that all over it."
When it came to recording his vocals, Miller was surprisingly insecure, and very much appreciated the flexibility and freedom of Cinderella. "Steve Miller said 'I wanna do my vocals now, so why don't you just go have lunch or something, because I might hit a bad note and I'll be embarrassed.' I said 'Give me a break, man. You've sold so many millions of records. How could you not like your own voice?' He said 'Well, I'm not really a great singer, and I don't mind making a flub as long as there's nobody here but me.' I said 'Fine, I'll go eat lunch. See you in an hour.' So he sat out here in the control room with a mic and put on his own vocals to 'Going To The Country' and some of that stuff. He had reference vocals that we followed, but his keeper vocals, a lot of them he did by himself — started and stopped his own machine."
Since the '70s, technology has obviously moved on, and although the Flickinger console is still very much part of the Cinderella sound, Moss has made some concessions to new developments, including an Alesis HD24 hard‑disk recorder. That doesn't mean that he likes them, though. "Now we have 24‑track analogue or digital," says Moss, "and we got a Pro Tools rig coming in this month for those who like Pro Tools. I like to refer to them as 'slow tools', because you could spend a month in here trying to get a remix on one song if you want every note exactly right and every backbeat to be the same and tempo not to vary. But to me that takes out a whole lot of the soul of the thing. And if the vocals need pitch correction, then it's because they didn't sing it well. We got an eraser for that. Redo it!"
Despite the studio's low profile, Cinderella continues to draw a steady list of artists aware of the its reputation. It may be Nashville's oldest surviving independent studio, and almost certainly its most idiosyncratic, but it is that very freedom from the streamlined major studio aesthetic, combined with the calibre of the sound Moss has created over the years, which is the secret of its ongoing success.
"We're not even in the phone book, you know? It's Nashville's oldest working studio and it's never been in the phone book. So unless you know somebody that knows somebody, you can't even get in here. But Steve Miller did and Ronstadt did and Leo Kottke did and a lot of folks. So we've had the business, despite the fact that you can't even find us, you know? You can't Google us or anything else, therefore there's not a Gray Line bus tour coming through here every day saying 'Is that Johnny Cash in here? I wanna get his autograph.' That drives artists crazy. And Steve Miller didn't want anybody in the studio that wasn't hired to play on it, and that's what he got. He wanted to engineer his own vocals? Fine, go ahead. You know? So we try to bend in whatever direction the artist wants and we've had a lot of people in here over the years."
So how much longer does Moss plan to continue? "I'm 73 now," says Moss, "and still kicking like a mule, and we're putting out new product all the time. I tried retiring at 30, 40, 50 and 60, and I just said 'I don't guess I'll ever retire!'" .
"The best-sounding mixing desks ever made" is how engineer Steve Albini once described the legendary Flickinger console. In 2005, the Kills, similarly enamoured of the '60s desks, tracked down Sly Stone's model to the outskirts of Chicago and recorded an album with it.
When the desks were first built in the late '60s and early '70s, they were hugely advanced for their day, and soon became the board of choice for many of the top artists of the time including Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Sly Stone and Funkadelic, as well as the studios at Muscle Shoals and Motown. And, indeed, Cinderella Sound. Wayne Moss's console was custom‑built for him by pioneering engineer Daniel Flickinger himself, and is now the last console of its kind left in Nashville, and one of only a handful still remaining worldwide.
"Flickinger was way ahead of his time," explains Moss. "I told Mr Flickinger: 'I have a 16‑track machine but I want 20 inputs.' He said 'No you don't. You want 24 inputs. I'll charge you the same thing for a 20 as I do for a 24 but I'll build you a 24.' "Also, he said 'This patchbay has a [tape] machine A and a machine B in it.' I said 'Well, I don't have a machine B.' He said 'You will have. Hush.' So he built it, and sure enough, that's where my HD24 plugs up now! But he knew that back in the '70s."
With what was effectively the first 'in‑line' recording console, Flickinger also invented and developed now widely used devices such as remote‑controlled gain and the concept of 'audio control surface', as well as pioneering the development of modular bar‑graph illuminated metering, aka 'Level Lites'. Similarly advanced was the EQ system on the consoles. "Say you got a bass player," explains Moss, "and he has one note that's sticking out. The EQ on these things is three‑band EQ, and there are continuous controls like a wah‑wah pedal would have. It has plus or minus 15dB. So you turn it up to +15 and you take the frequency and you look for that note that sticks out and you find it, and then you minus it 15dB and all of a sudden that note's not too loud anymore. That makes a lot more sense than equalisation things that go up in notches. It might be in between two of those notches, but if it's continuously variable you can get any frequency you want from below to above your hearing range. And plus or minus it 15dB. All the echo is phantom echo — it's not really on the tape. And that's helpful because you might get too much if you put it on there to begin with and you can't take it off. So every playback you have has echo on it, but it's not really on the tape. Flickinger had all this figured out a long time ago."
As a guitarist, Moss also had his own more specific requirements for the desk. "All the other boards," continues Moss, "had these assigned buttons over here," he says, pointing to the right. "I said 'I want mine on the left.' He said 'Why?' I said 'I don't wanna break these fingernails. I want to be able to hit this and not break anything. These are short.' So he made it backwards."
Ike Turner was likewise so taken with the consoles that he bought two for his studio in Las Vegas. Not, however, without his own custom‑built preferences. "He liked to have each module be a different colour," explains Moss. "He'd put a black [ultraviolet] light on it, so the drum's be red and the vocals'd be green or whatever, so you could get right at it real quick if you had to turn something up or down, 'cause you knew the colour."
"Here's Ike Turner's module up here," he says, pointing at a white module. "That studio mysteriously burnt down one night, and I have the white module out of it. It looks clear until you put it under a black light, and then it's white."
But it's the sound of the desk which Moss really admires. "His consoles had op‑amps," says Moss, "and they've got a lot of components in them that do the same thing, only better, than what a computer chip will now do — but the sound is completely different. One's warm and the other's very sterile. So this console heats up warm and it sounds like you're right there, you know?"

This section answers many of the common questions friends and family members of defendants have. It also allows you to look up your next court date. This information is subject to change without notice. It should not be used in place of the advice and information given by an attorney.
Look Up a Client's Next Court Date
Do not discuss the alleged crime with the defendant.Anything the defendant tells you can be used against him or her. You can be called as a witness even if you don't want to testify. Telephone calls from and visits at the jail are recorded and can be used against the defendant.
Do not contact a victim, witness, or co-defendant.Defendants are often ordered not to have contact with a victim, witness, or co-defendant in the case. That includes third party contact, meaning it is a violation of his or her release conditions for the defendant to pass messages to those people though you or someone else. If you contact those people, it may look like the defendant asked you to even if he or she did not.
In addition, it is illegal to tamper with witnesses. If you speak to a victim, witness, or co-defendant it may appear that you are trying to influence them and you may get into trouble yourself.
Do not send letters directly to the judge or prosecutor!Please, do not send letters directly to the judge, prosecutor, or anyone else in the court system. Do not call or e-mail those people. What you say to them may hurt the defendant, even if you think it will help. If you want to send a letter to the judge, address it "Dear Judge __________," but send it to the defendant's attorney. The attorney will review it and forward it to the judge if and when it is helpful.
Can I talk to the attorney?Please understand that an attorney's obligation is to his or her client. An attorney is not required to talk to a client's friends or family. This is true even if the client is a juvenile or an adult with a guardian. Also, an attorney cannot discuss a client's case with anyone unless the client gives the attorney permission to talk to that person.
That being said, attorneys are often willing to talk to friends and family members to get information about their clients and about the alleged crime(s). If you have information or questions for an attorney, please call the Public Defender's Office at (520) 866-7199. If the attorney is not available to talk to you when you call, be sure to leave a detailed message. Include your name, the name of the client you are calling about, a brief description of the information or question you want to discuss with the attorney, and a telephone number where you can be reached.
VictimsIf you are the named victim in a criminal case, you have certain rights under Arizona law and the Arizona Constitution. One of those is the right not to speak to the defense attorney. A public defender cannot contact you if you are listed as a victim. If you want to speak to a public defender, you can call the Public Defender's Office at 520-866-7199.
If you are the parent of a juvenile client and you are also the named victim in your child's case, these rights apply to you. Your child's attorney cannot contact you. If you would like to talk to your child's attorney, you may initiate contact by calling the Public Defender's Office at 520-866-7199.
How do I post bond?A secured bond can be posted with money or a piece of property worth at least as much as the bond amount. Bond can be posted at the jail with a cashier's check or money order. It can be posted at the Pinal County Superior Court Clerk's Office with title to a piece of property. You can also use a bail bondsman. A bail bondsman will usually require 10% of the bond amount in cash and title to a piece of property.
A cash-only bond can only be posted with a cashier's check or money order. It cannot be posted with title to property. If you post bond through the jail or the Clerk's Office and the defendant follows all of his or her release conditions, the money and/or title will be returned when the case is resolved. A bail bondsman will usually keep the 10% but return the title when the case is resolved. If the defendant violates his or her release conditions, the Court or bail bondsman may keep your money or title.
What is a third party?The Court can release a defendant to the third party custody of another person. If you are a third party signer, your job is to be a tattle tale. You must inform the Court if the defendant violates any of the conditions of release. This includes leaving the state, missing court, using drugs, contacting someone he or she has been ordered not to contact, committing a new crime, etc. If you know that the defendant is violating his release conditions and you do not report it to the Court, you can be fined or even put in jail. As long as you report the violation immediately, you will not be fined or jailed.
Jail VisitationIf your friend or family member is in the Pinal County Jail and you have questions about visitation, please call the jail at 520-866-5021.
What happens at a __________ hearing?The sections of this webpage designed for clients contain basic information about the criminal court system, including a description of the standard hearings in adult and juvenile cases. Please refer to those pages, but remember, they are written for clients.

Jack White to appear on two tracks on Neil Young's new album
Neil Young has confirmed that Jack White will appear on his new album.
The album, titled A Letter Home, was recorded at White's Third Man studios in Nashville and will be released "very soon", most likely this Spring, Young told Billboard.
Young confirmed that he covers songs from his favourite writers on the album, and that White will feature on two of the tracks. "It's not ready for prime time yet," he said. "It's not really a release yet, but it's a very unique record. It's like a time capsule. It doesn't sound like anything you've heard that was made recently. And some great songs, some beautiful music."
He added: "They're songs that I love, songs that changed my life, songs that made it so that I understood what someone else was saying to me, songs by greater writers."
Young previously recorded a version of Bert Jansch's "Needle Of Death" for Record Store Day 2013 in White's 1947 Voice-o-Graph booth.
Earlier this week, Neil Young gave a keynote speech at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, during which he launched his high quality digital music service and portable music player Pono.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Benny!
Facts about Benny
- Breed: Shar Pei/Boxer Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Benny's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sweet boy, super friendly. Sits on command. Tested with cats and non-reactive.
Other Pets at Chinese Shar Pei Network, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Benny, a Mira Loma Shar Pei/Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shar Pei/Boxer for sale in Mira Loma, or seeking a Shar Pei/Boxer dog from a breeder in Mira Loma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mira Loma already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mira Loma breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shar Pei/Boxer breeders who help with Shar Pei/Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mira Loma paves the way for another one to be saved.

"Pines" Drug Dealer Sentenced To More Than 15 Years
Tampa, FL - U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Kovachevich sentenced Bruce Kenyon Davis (31, Tampa) today to 188 months in federal prison for distribution of crack cocaine. He was also sentenced to 6 years of supervised release, following his release from prison. Davis pled guilty on April 2, 2012.
According to court documents, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO), along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), initiated the "Pines Operation" in an effort to combat an ongoing drug and gang epidemic in a pair of apartment complexes located in Tampa. Approximately 52 individuals were arrested on state or federal charges as a result of the operation. During the course of the operation, on two separate occasions, Davis sold crack cocaine to an undercover law enforcement. At the time of his arrest, Davis had at least four prior state drug distribution convictions, including one for trafficking in cocaine.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Thomas N. Palermo.

It's difficult not to make a fetich out of mid-fifties racing car design. I mean, just look at the carnally gorgeous lines and the immaculate finish of this 1957 Maserati 250 S.
With clear reference to Jag-D type all conquering design: this Maserati has been immaculately restored to better than original, ready for auction at RM this September.
Apparently just a handful of these cars were made for customers in the mid fifties - including US racing hero Carroll Shelby. The 250 S was a more powerful version of the road going 200S - and featured an inline six cylinder engine that could produce 250 Horsepower and a top speed for the car of around 160 MPH.
Pricing and reserve etc hasn't been released yet - but think Central London mansion house prices. Perchance to dream.

Whale Watching in the San Juan Islands.
Whale watching in the San Juan Islands has become a $10 million industry in recent years. The Whale Museum estimates that annually more than 500,000 people go whale watching on commercial whale-watch boats in the transboundary waters of Washington and British Columbia. Another 3,000-8,000 watch whales each year from private boats.
Whale watching provides people with an opportunity to learn about and appreciate marine wildlife. As more people become aware of the importance of the marine ecosystems on this planet, increasing numbers of them will work to help preserve it.
However, it is extremely important that the large numbers of humans who watch whales and other marine animals in the wild don't disrupt the animals' environment and ability to live normal, healthy lives.
The Whale Museum created the Soundwatch Boater Education Program in 1993 to educate pleasure boaters on the least intrusive ways to watch whales in the wild. On the water every day each summer, Soundwatch crews and volunteers monitor boater activity near whales.
When they see boat activity that could potentially disrupt or harm the whales, Soundwatch approaches boaters, courteously explains the rules and hands them the Be Whale Wise Guidelines brochure. The guidelines were created in conjunction with many partners, including the U.S. and Canadian federal governments and the international Pacific Whale Watch Association to assist boaters in viewing marine wildlife with minimal impact to the animals.
Soundwatch also monitors regional marine protected areas and opportunistically collects data on vessel & whale behavior.
Soundwatch is primarily an educational program and has no enforcement power. However, repeat or flagrant violations of the guidelines may be reported by anyone to the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service or to the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which may impose substantial fines.
A component of the Soundwatch Boater Education Program is the Kayak Education and Leadership Program (KELP). KELP. educators teach commercial and private kayakers about marine stewardship and promote the Responsible Kayaker Code, helping to reduce disturbances to marine wildlife by irresponsible boating practices.
Funding for Soundwatch comes out of The Whale Museum's general operating budget, through federal & state contracts/grants, and private contributions. You can help support our efforts by making a donation, adopting an orca or becoming a museum member.
Soundwatch is a successful and internationally acclaimed education and monitoring program working to reduce vessel disturbance to orcas and other marine wildlife in the Salish Sea region of Washington State (USA) and British Columbia (Canada). Soundwatch needs interns to help conduct seasonal vessel patrols, educating boaters on regional guidelines and regulations and collecting data while monitoring vessel activities. around whales. Data from this critical program characterizes vessel activity trends around endangered orcas and other marine wildlife. Data are used to promote better boater compliance and to inform marine mammal management strategies such as state and federal vessel laws and guidelines.
Applicant requirements: At least 18 years of age, physically fit (able to lift 40 lbs), able to swim, not easily susceptible to seasickness, and familiar with database spreadsheets. Be prepared to spend substantial time aboard small (20 ft.) vessels in unpredictable weather and sea conditions. Preference will be given to undergraduates or recent graduates in the marine or wildlife sciences. Interns will need a valid US passport or a enhanced driver's license, transportation and CPR/First Aid certification. A state boater license/or equivalent safe boating card, not required, but is encouraged. Interns are required to commit to at least two months, but preferable to the full study period, May-September, plus some training time.
Please send a letter of interest, a resume, and contact information for three references. Be sure to include what dates you can start/end.
Applications accepted until February 23, 2015.
Decisions will be made by March 14, 2015.
Please send application materials to:

MANCHESTER, Dec 1, (RTRS): Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff beat American Richard Dawson on points after surviving a knockdown in his first professional fight at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Friday. The 34-year-old got a rousing reception from the 5,000 fans and won the first of four two-minute rounds before being caught by a left hook early in the second that sent him to the canvas. However, Flintoff got up to receive a standing eight count and battled back with a more composed performance against a flagging opponent for a 39-38 win on the referee's scorecard.
"You talk about the Ashes and things but as a personal achievement, this is the best," Flintoff, part of England's Ashes-winning teams in 2005 and 2009, told BoxNation. Despite his successful start the former all-rounder was cautious about his future in the sport, saying "we'll see how we go. It's not natural to me, I've had to work so hard. "The feeling of being in there and winning at the end, I can't believe it but I'm not pretending to be something I'm not," he added.
Flintoff, coached by former world champion Barry McGuigan, had weighed in at 216lbs (97.98kg), 25lbs (11.34kg) lighter than Dawson, 23, who had won his previous two professional fights. Flintoff, who played 79 tests before retiring from cricket in September 2010 through injury, became a national treasure by leading England to their famous Ashes victory in 2005 - their first test series win over Australia in almost two decades.
Meanwhile, Russia's Khabib Allakhverdiev won the vacant World Boxing Association super-lightweight title on Friday, beating Joan Guzman of the Dominican Republic on a technical decision. Guzman, the former two-division champion, fell to canvas as he tried to avoid a punch in the eighth round at the BB&T Center. Guzman gingerly walked to a corner, favoring his left leg, but informed referee Luis Pabon he wanted to resume the fight. Allakhderviev (18-0) quickly pursued Guzman (33-1) and landed a left to the head that appeared to have knocked down Guzman. Pabon didn't rule it a knockdown, but Guzman told Pabon and his trainer, Herman Caicedo, he could not continue fighting because of the leg injury.
Judges Michael Pernick and Mark Streisand had Allakhverdiev ahead, 76-75, at the time of the stoppage. Judge Nelson Vazquez was scoring the fight for Guzman, 76-75. Allakhverdiev scored with two straight rights and a left hook to the head that sent Guzman to the canvas in the third round for the fight's only genuine knockdown. Guzman landed shots to the body in an attempt to neutralize the taller Allakhverdiev in the fourth.
The 29-year-old Allakhverdiev had another strong round in the fifth, keeping Guzman on the defensive and connecting with lefts to the head. After ending his reigns as junior-bantamweight and junior-featherweight champion, Guzman twice failed to make weight in two title bids. He also was suspended for eight months after testing positive for a banned substance following his second-round TKO win over Jason Davis in December 2010. The result was reversed to a no-contest. The win meant Allakhverdiev also retained the IBO light-welterweight title.

This is an awesome chocolate mmf that actually tastes chocolate. It's also great for making black because its already dark and you need very little to get it black.Rhond'as Ultimate Chocolate MMF
- 15 oz. mini marshmallows 2 T water 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled) 2 tsp light corn syrup (helps w/ pliability) 2 tsp vanilla 1/2 to 3/4 C dutch processed (dark) cocoa 6 C confectioner's sugar, sifted 1/2 C Crisco or vegetable shortening ** I have found that I have to use less sugar because of the cocoa.
- Grease microwave proof bowl w/ Crisco. Also grease wooden or heat proof spoon. Pour marshmallows and water into bowl. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes stopping and stirring at 40 second intervals. Mixture should be soupy.
- Take out of microwave and immediately add corn syrup, cocoa, lemon juice, salt and extract. Stir well. Sift confectioner's sugar into mixture, one cup at a time. After approximately 5 cups, grease your hands well with Crisco and knead the mixture in the bowl. Add the sixth cup and continue to knead. Now grease your work surface well and turn mixture out of bowl onto counter and knead well. If mixture seems soft, add one additional cup of powdered sugar.
- Shape into a mound and put a coating of crisco on outside. Double wrap in cling wrap and insert into ziplock bag. Press air out of bag and seal. Allow to rest overnight, but, can be used after sitting for a few hours.
- Hope you like it!

Been a while! Don't have a gig at PC World any more, so might start posting on here a again. Stay tuned. Rants to continue after the break

Woah. Is that the time?
Haven't posted on here for almost a year.
There are a few major reasons for this. They are in no particular order:
-- I'm no longer doing .net only coding, I went fulltime iPhone coding in June 2009. It's been going really well. Thanks for asking!
-- Twitter: I loveTwitter. I like the immediate feedback and the conversation style. I also don't have a lot of time because of above, so bigger formal posts are not as appealing. ( @kiwibastard )
-- PC World: I now write a monthly programming column in NZ PC World, so that takes away a lot of my creative juices, as it were. I love doing the magazine stuff.
So, I hope to come back here more often, but don't be surprised if I don't

Hundred Pushups iPhone App
The Hundred Pushups iPhone app has been released to the App Store.
Link here
Use the app to gain strength, lose weight and above all reach the goal of 100 push ups in 6 weeks. I can personally vouch for the program as I have done it myself and the iPhone app is the perfect companion.

Macworld Expo Keynote Predictions
Prediction one: This will be the last time I predict what will be announced at Macworld Expo by Apple!
I've been pretty busy with other things, including publishing an app for the iPhone. (Note to self: change the urls for that...) and with the impending arrival of child number two, I haven't been keeping up with the rumours. So this year all of my predictions will be completely off the cuff. So here goes (in no particular order):
1) Update to iLife and iWork - it's been almost a year and a half for iWork and at least a year for iLife so they are due
2) Mac Mini / AppleTV refresh. Both are due for either a cut or a revamp. I can't see too much happening with the ATV as it's pretty much a hobby sideline for Apple. It would be nice to see a Mini upgrade with more ram and CPU bump. It would be great to see a mini with some kind of ATV integration, although again can't see it
3) Refresh to iMac line up. This could just be a CPU and Video bump, but maybe a refinement of the design. Although, IMHO they are spot on as it is. I can guarantee this one because I bought a new iMac about 3 months ago!
I think the above will happen in some shape or form. The next list is things that could happen, but probably won't, or ones I want to happen...
1) iTablet. This would be computing nirvana for me if this happened. I can't see Apple announcing this outside of an Apple run event. The current financial climate might not be the place for this kind of device either
2) Mac App Store: Like the iPhone app store but for Mac Apps. I want this as a (sometimes) indie developer rather than an end user, but it would be awesome for all concerned. The only issue would be the bottom dweller price trend could continue for Mac apps - apps selling for less than they should because some developers put their apps at too low a price
3) Apple to announce an across the board dropping of prices by 20% due to current economic climate.
Well that's it. Will report back with my hit and miss rate.

The Commuting Year in Review
I was listening to the TWIT year in review on the way into work this morning. I listened to every episode this year while commuting. If totaled in miles it would be a long way.
I started off the year traveling to Northampton by train from Rugby:
View Larger Map
I did that until February. I was working for a marketing company making enhancements to a legacy Delphi based system. It was without a doubt the worst job ever. The people who worked there were idiots, the work environment sucked and it was the most miserable 3 months I have ever spent. Not a great way to start the year.
From there I worked in Hammersmith in London and was taking the train from Rugby to London Euston:
View Larger Map
and then the underground from Euston to Hammersmith:
View Larger Map
I worked there for a local authority creating a portal site for customers. It was done using ASP.NET and C#, with a Biztalk layer connecting the different systems. I was pretty much responsible for the front end which was great. It was a hell commute, but the job was interesting and the people I worked with were great. It was a great step up from the previous job.
Commuting by train and tube was always interesting, sometimes frustrating, but glad I did it. It was a great "life" experience and took me way out of my comfort zone. Having to deal with 4 million other commuters was interesting for a boy from Temuka! I do feel sorry for the people that have to do it everyday for the rest of their working lives. We don't know how lucky we are here in New Zealand when it comes down to it.
From there I worked in Corby which was about an hours drive from Rugby up the A14. The A14 is the road trucks use to get to the M1 and the M6. It was jammed with trucks and the Cathorpe junction where the M6 and M1 merge was always fun! Again it was a great experience and gave me plenty of time to listen to Twit...
View Larger Map
I was the lead architect for a freight management system written in C#, with a Sql Server backend. I also did some training - upskilling some AS400 developers to .NET - which I enjoyed. Again the people were great, but needed a better processes in place, which they were aware of so good luck to them for the future.
I finished there in late August and we flew back to New Zealand and moved into our house in Timaru. (Sorry google doesn't do directions from Heathrow to NZ!)
I now do a daily commute from Timaru to Ashburton which is about an hour.
View Larger Map
I work for a Bank doing the teller systems (MFC/C++) and the Internet Banking Site (.NET). It is all interesting work and I look forward to being involved with the migration from MFC to C# which will be started sometime in 2009.
So all in all I did a lot of commuting this year and will have more next.

Remote desktop connection cannot verify the identity of the computer
If you get the following error: "Remote desktop connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that
you want to connect to. try reconnecting to the windows-based computer or
contatct your administrator."
when trying to connect OS X to a Windows Machine via RDP then do the following:
1) Delete all files in /user/{username}/Documents/RDC Connections
2) Don't fill in the domain text box
for some reason when using the Mac client if the domain text box is filled then the Windows machine at the other end can't authenticate the connection. Seems to be worse with Vista, but I have read of this happening with 2003 also.

Linking iPhone/iPod Touch with Xcode
I just spent the last hour or so trying to get my iPod touch working with Xcode so I could debug on the device
If you are having trouble after you have followed the instructions on Apples developer site, here's what to do:
In Xcode, right click the info.plist file and select open as text file. This will open the bundle as a plain text Xml file.
Find the Key:
and below it will be a string element. Change the text between the element to your AppId minus the 10 digit number and the dot.
So for example if your appId is 1234567890.com.mycompany.myApp then change it to com.mycompany.myApp
Easy thing to do, but hard thing to solve.
Hope that saves someone the hours of frustration I had.

20 Second SQL tip
If you restore from a backup with NORECOVERY from the GUI it sometimes doesn't bring the database back online, even if the restore succeeds.
So if you are stuck with a database that no matter how long you give it, the status is restoring, or loading the following command should work:

StackOverflow: the good, the bad, the ugly
The eternal dilemma for developers is finding the answer to their specific question. There are a number of sites on the web that try to help, some free, some not.
Stackoverflow is the latest attempt to create an ultimate resource for answers to programmers questions. It is the brain child of notable (or notorious depending on your view) doyens of the development community, Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky (who has Kiwi heritage).
The actual site is a work of genius. It is clean, clear and crisp and is, without a shadow of doubt, the best website engine of it's kind. Period.
I have been a member since the very early beta days. (User Tag is KiwiBastard BTW) In the early days there was a limited number of people on the site, but even so, questions where answered in quick time, and a question would stay on the front page a good amount of time, so that people had a chance to offer a reasoned answer.
Since then the private beta has gone public, the noise to signal ratio has increased. Post are only on the front page for a limited time. The questions are generally still answered but because there is more traffic, people rush an answer. It also appears that people won't bother answering a question once it has had a few answers. The reason for this is both the pro and the con of the site. The site is driven by a points and badge system.
Basically, you get points in a number of ways:
- Getting your answer upvoted
- Getting your question upvoted
- Getting your answer accepted
There are other subtle ways to get points, but it becomes addictive and like a game. So you find people don't bother answering a question that has been answered, because the chance of getting points is lower than answering a question that has no or few answers. While this is good because it means new questions get answered, it also means sometimes a question never gets a CORRECT answer. This is of course a problem.
The argument is, with more people, then there should be more eyeballs on each question so the net is the same as when it was a smaller audience. This argument seems to work in theory, I am finding in implementation it doesn't. The turnover of question is such that, a question just doesn't stay on the front page very long.
The other issue I am finding, is the tolerance for newbies is very low. People seem to get down voted if they ask a seemingly stupid question. Seemingly stupid to experienced developers, but we were all noobs once. I try to show tolerance to these people and answer their question the best I can, and maybe point them in the right direction. It's the fair thing to do, and I'm sure that Atwood and Spolsky would prefer this approach to down voting and alienating new developers.
Aside from the minor gripes, it is a great site. It will become the go to site for developers. Of that there is no doubt. I just hope that over time, newbies become better accepted, and people get use their upvoting ability a little more.

Nice Gmail Tip: plus-addressing
I was digging around the Gmail docs just to see what new stuff they've been throwing in there and came across something useful that I hadn't come across before.
A lot of people I know have multiple mail accounts some of which they use when signing up for stuff just in case for whatever reason that address gets "accidentally" sold to an organisation that will spam you silly. What Gmail does is provide a feature called "plus-addressing", which allows you to insert useful but ignored stuff into your Gmail address.
As an example:
If your mail address was firstname.lastname@example.com (Apologies to Myna Me if you have an account) and you were signing up for something at "dodgysite.com" then you could supply the mail address in the subscription form as:
The mails will still be routed to your account but if you start to get spammed and that address is being used then you have an idea of where they got your address from.
It's quite a nice feature and when used with filters can also be used to manage mail too so you could possibly give plus-addressed addresses to everyone and include some identifiable word in the address.
One thing to be aware of is that at some point if people start using this a lot then the spammers will start to circumvent it by striping out the +x part, but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.
EDIT: Nic points out quite rightly that this isn't strictly a Gmail feature but is part of the mail specs such as RFC5233 and yes, it is dependent on the site you're supplying the address to actually accepting a "+" (the latest version of Fring on iPhone doesn't even allow "."!!!!)

Useful Vista Tip: Open Command Window
Windows 2000 and XP had a bunch of power tools that had great, but little enhancements to Windows that made doing geeky things just a little easier. Unfortunately, there are no power tools for Vista. The most useful power toy I found was the ability to open a shell command window from an explorer window, by right clicking in the window and selecting the "Open Cmd Window" option.
Well, it turns out this feature is baked into Vista, but hidden away behind the scenes. To get it to work you simply hold down SHIFT, while right clicking in the Explorer Window.

iPhone 2.1 - Pointless!
I had really high expectations for the 2.1 update. Sadly it was always going to be a disappointment. Again I have been with a friend who owns a different phone on O2 and while his phone is showing 3 or 4 bars mine is showing No Service. Damn! Equally annoying is the fact that the phone apologists seem to fall back on the "number of bars does not mean the same thing across different phones" argument, but No Service is No fucking Service on any phone.
Anyway, another thing (other than Genius, aka please buy music you don't want) the only real difference I've noticed is a new little circle icon at the top where the connection type is shown, as you can see in the following pic. I have no idea what it represents and have not seen it before.
What it isn't is:
- Edge
- GPRS (I don't think, that's a square with hollow circle)
- Wireless
Looks like this post is as useless as the update. It appears that all of the icons for the various data modes have been changed. 3G is now just white text rather than black on a white square so I'm assuming that the circle above is the GPRS equivalent to that. Surely the change isn't intended to save some battery power by lighting up 5 fewer pixels!!!!
Since 24 hours now I've been running 2.1 and none of my original gripes are fixed.

Exclude CSS from Authentication in ASP.NET
This little thing has bugged me for a while. The CSS for authenticated sites where only showing once the user had logged in. This means that the Log On and Log Off pages are unstyled - although usually for me anyway, on my dev machine - seems to be ok live.
Well, if this is the case, you need to exclude the CSS folder (or files) from Authentication. This is achieved by added the following code to the web.config file somewhere in the configuration section
<location path="css">
<allow users="*"></allow>

Is there a more diverse field than software development?
I've been on the Stack Overflow for a couple of weeks. If you've been under a rock and don't know, Stack Overflow is a Q+A website for programmers, developed as a joint venture between industry luminaries Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky.
From the questions that fellow developers have asked, it highlights that a lot of people are doing a lot of vastly different things. Everything from tracing the inner exception of a soap message in ASP.NET through to rendering a tree structure in Django through to wondering the performance implications of case insensitivity in Regular Expressions.
This is why I love software development. There are so many fields to get into, and so many languages to learn and so many ways to do the same thing. If you get stale, you can just learn a new language or technology in your current language.
So my question is - is there any other industry that is as diverse?

Sorting a List using delegates
I have to sort Lists of Custom classes relatively frequently. Everytime I am about to write the Sort code, I always forget how to do it for a breif second. So as a reminder, I thought I would put a post on how to do it.
Say you have a List of Customer classes.
Now if you want to sort by a property in the list (for example BusinessName) you can do the following:
customerList.Sort( delegate( Customer x, Customer y)
return x.BusinessName.CompareTo(y.BusinessName);

Well to me it is a MEDAL table, not a gold medal table. Either rename the table or repot the truth people!
Just a bit of tongue in cheek fun, but it has been hard work being a Kiwi in the UK over the Olympics. The Brits are worse winners than the Australians. For what it's worth, the per capita table is the real indication of success...

iPhone 2.0.2 Update - admitting a problem?
I've had my iPhone now for a few weeks and as far as the device itself is concerned I'm really impressed. I've got another post queued up to add to the noise bascially discussing how I've found it and "good bits", "bad bits" etc. but the main issue I've had since it arrived is the really, really crappy reception.
In the UK we are on O2, a company not renowned for having the best coverage (although I think they would dissagree.) On their website, they have a tool which lets you put in a postcode or town, and it shows a (crappy) map coloured to show what sort of service you should expect in that area. For my local area, the entire map is coloured to indicate full HSDPA. This means I should be getting a reasonably good 3G signal in most places. The sad reality has been that even in the MAIN street of the villiage of Bishop's Cleeve, where I should get max sig, all I see is "No Service".
It's a bit lame, but I haven't bothered (read: summoned the patience) to talk to O2 about it yet, although that call is imminent. But what surprised me the other day was a friend of mine has an LG on O2 and both phones sat next to each other on a table, one was showing strong signal and 3G while my iPhone was a single bar with no data but more often "No Service" this leads me to suspect that it is more a problem with the phone itself.
When the update came out the other day to 2.0.2 I dutifully upgraded and since then the behaviour of the phone has been... odd! Some stuff I can't really put my finger on, but the main one is that whereas in the past, when the phone was in range of a wireless network, it would be constantly connected (or rather would show itself to be.) But now, the wireless connection symbol only ever appears when the phone is actually trying to fetch data. This would be fine but on some occasions the connection isn't coming up quickly enough for Safari or Twinkle and I'm getting error messages about connection problems. This even happened in the mail app once which is quite worrying.
So what's going on? I know Apple are shitty when it comes to revealing what is being fixed by an update, but I am wondering if this is some kind of attempt at a quick fix for what seems to be an emerging flaw in either the software or hardware on the phone. If it is, is this an admission however subtle that there is a real issue? And if it is, it's failed, and it has also damaged the useability of the phone.
Maybe the Aussies aren't stupid after all
It appears that Australians are switching to Mac faster than anyone else in the world.
Article here
Macs are still a little pricey in New Zealand I think personally. It doesn't help having a distributor in between Apple and the consumer. When I was an ISV a few years ago, I looked at selling a few Macs to some customers. The distributor would only talk to you if you signed a guarantee saying you would sell at least $50k worth of Apple products per year.
Which I guess is why only the major retailers sell Apple stuff, although Harvey Norman for example, make no money from the sales of Apple computer equipment - the distributor buys shelf space. That is why in most stores, the Apple stuff is tucked away in a corner - and a commision based sales person is going to show you a PC first, because they don't get a bean from the Apple sale.
That needs to change, and the sooner the better. A low to mid range price point would help too - say a mac mini bundled with Screen and keyboard etc for around $1500.

Woah Bambi!
Thinner and more manicured brows have been in style for far too long. Thank goodness Bambi Northwood came on to the scene and brought fuller eyebrows back!
Personally, I believe that fuller and thicker brows make you look more youthful as well as soften your face; who doesn't want to lookfeminineand young?
Ladies, its time we embraced our inner bushman brown! Put the tweezers down and skip a few waxing appointments, go au natural!!!
Obviously not all of us are born with fantastically full brows, so if you're lacking a bit in the brow department and want to give thicker brows a go, try filling them in with a brow pencil or powder; Too Faced and Benefit have fantastic products.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but not only have I not been on Garden Web for a long time; I did a "Search" and didn't come up with any previous posts.
My question: Anybody buy the Garden Groom hedge trimmer and what do you think of it? Worth the $149 (for the midi version)? Collection bin a hassle, ect? Couldn't find a decent consumer report on the internet. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by schoolhouse z5/ohio (My Page) on Fri, Apr 20, 07 at 20:20
Well, I didnt' get any responses to my post; but I can give you my opinion now after using this hedge trimmer today. To me, it's great! What used to take me most of one day to trim three boxwood hedges (surrounding beds), took only 30min. The unit is like 99% plastic, so I was really worried when I unpacked it for the first time. Thought I had wasted my money ($176 with taxes and Shpg); but it really does catch the trimmings and mulch them. Only, I had to empty the small container about four times. It comes with a bigger bag attachment, tho; didn't try that yet. The machine is quiet, too. Now, what I think is that those people who had problems with it probably used it to cut thicker or bigger woody hedge. It worked good on the softer boxwood. My only concern is that usually boxwood is best cut with shears, by hand. Sometimes cutting with an electric trimmer will cut the leaves so that you'll have white "chop" marks the next day. I'll have to wait and see. The biggest job was dragging the electric cords out! Anyway, thought I'd post my experience for what it's worth. |
schoolhouse, This sounds very interesting. Can you give us an update on how the Garden Groom hedge trimmer has been working for you this last year? I need to deadhead some lavender and trim some round boxwood shrubs. Was looking for the B&D battery operated pruning shears and found this thread. Would really like to hear from anyone who has purchased and used this product, and what your thoughts are about its quality and reliability. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Google: Garden Groom hedge trimmer
For anyone who is still interested in Garden Groom Pro, I am providing my thoughts about it. I recently purchased one for $149.00, although I was really a little skeptical about the results and whether I would be satisfied with my purchase. I have two large Euonymus shrub hedges. The one in the back around my patio is approximately 45 ft long and 6 ft to 8 ft high. The other which is in front, is about 40 ft long and 4 ft tall. I have decorative bark under each and have previously been laying a large plastic sheet to catch the cuttings so the bark would remain undisturbed. This was both time-consuming and much extra hard work which I did not enjoy, particularly with Oklahoma wind blowing the plactic around. My hope for the Garden Groom Pro was that is would eliminate some of this task. Well....now after a month of using Garden Groom Pro, I am very pleased with the results. The Garden Groom Pro not only decreases the time and work involved, it does a much better job than I had been doing with regular hedge trimmers. I would recommend it to anyone who is particular about the way they want their hedges to look and who want to decrease the effort to accomplish this. It is well worth the purchase price, believe me. My review is thumbs up! |
John, thanks for the review, I've seen infomercials on this product. It looked like it would do the job, but I don't trust any infomercial. btw, i'm an okie, hiway 20, where the wind blows 9 days out of 10. thanks, |

I bought one of the Garden Groom hedge trimmers in 2011. It works great for new growth but I cannot let the new growth get over 2 long or the stems will fold over and not get cut. It will not cut big (+ 3/16") stems. If I keep the hedge trimmed fairly often, it does a wonderful job. If I let it go too long before trimming, the old sickle bar type has to be used. It is heavy and strains my back if I have to reach across the hedge for sny length of time. With that being said, I do recommend it. I got mine on eBay at a good price; about 1/2 of retail. |
