Ooooooh one of my favorite and hard to find colors without them taking on a mauve color. I love them all. I especially love how Spellcaster & Paradise have the two colors going on at the same time. Lovely, lovely!! Also the sweet little mini. I love them all. Will have to go see where to order some of them at for spring. Thanks for sharing, Judy |

Your collection of lavender and purple roses is just mindbogglingly! Thank you sooo... much for posting these gorgeous rose pics, Beth! Without you the Rose Gallery would be only half of the fun! My favorites are Charles de Gaulle (sooner or later I have to get myself this rose), Pacific Blue and I love Violet Mist, the mini. I started to grow minis only by last year and they seem to be quite fun. Can you tell me a little bit about Violet Mist, please? How is the disease resistance, repeat, and the fragrance? Where did you get yours? Anything else that is important to know about this little darling rose? Thanks! Christina |

Judy, have fun searching for the roses! I know you won't find SPELLCASTER anywhere. I was going to send cuttings to Cliff so he could get it back into circulation, but unfortunately he had to give up his rose business. Christina, VIOLET MIST is actually a pretty large miniflora. It gets about 3ft tall and the blooms are almost 3". It doesn't get much disease as I recall. I got mine from Michael's Premier Roses in Sacramento, many yrs ago when he was still in business. I'm not sure who carries it anymore. |

Thanks for sharing. I have a few of them. The Charles de Gaulle rose is always pretty and fragrant for me, but it does not repeat well. It is very slow. Is it that way for you? Is there any chance that Gregg Lowery at Vintage would be interested in cuttings from Spellcaster? I know he must have a full platter now, but I wonder if you have asked? Just a thought. |
Spellcaster has done a job on me too. I don't know how good the rose is itself, but your picture of her bloom is sure striking. |

Lavendar Morn is sooo pretty. I love the open bloom on it. Renee |
I just adore your winter postings. Keep up the good, cheering for the soul, work. |

Thanks Beth for the additional info about Violet Mist. Just found the time to look it up on HMF and there are very beautiful pictures of this rose, too. But it seems to be hard to come by. It is so sad that so many good and lovely roses are disappearing and are hardly available anymore. I guess the only cure for that is that we all have to buy more roses. I am on it :-)! Christina |

Beth -- I'm very curious about 'Lila Vidri'. What's the growth habit of the bush like? Is it a fairly productive plant? How would you describe its fragrance? Is your plant own-root or grafted? I'm throwing all these questions at you because, after years of searching for the rose, we got a rooted cutting last year that MAY be LV. If it survives to maturity, having the benefit of your observations might be helpful. Thanks. |
Very rich collection! |
Wow, how did I miss your posting Windeaux? Sorry about that. I've had LILA VIDRI for several yrs. She's grafted. Average size is 3ftx3ft. Blooms are decent sized, like 3+" and beautifully formed, hold color well and as I recall smell pretty good. My plant almost died a couple yrs ago for some reason, but it's come back pretty well. Thanks, Bgrose. |
Mmmm, yum, Spellcaster! |
These are gorgeous. I like what bgrose said about it being a "rich collection". I realy want to choose a lavender rose one of these days, I just have to make sure I choose a good candidate. Great photos! |
Beth, I appreciate the info. Thanks! |

Our kitchen plan calls for one of our counters runs to be 30 inches deep. I'm really looking forward to this extra depth to keep the kettle/toaster/coffee grinder etc.
However, on that same wall is the range...and this feels like it will cause some finishing issues. The range will be a 36 Bluestar that I could order with the island back trim. Will there be a need for a thin strip of counter behind the range or will the range be fine 'inset' to the back of the counter? Ideas? Has anyone tackled this issue?
Follow-Up Postings:
I've not done this but the specs for ranges generally require that the oven door exceed the front of the cabinets as a safety feature so you'll have to back fill behind the range. |
I think 30" will be kinda strange depth wise. I know on our 30" gas stove the deepest countertop that would work is 26 1/2". I would bring the range out a bit and put a stainless back on it, one advantage to bringing it out like that is that the rear pots/pans will have more room on an Island back. |

My heating ir conditioning system is in a finished basement. Currently there six inch galvinized pipe runs to all the floor register coming off a galvinized trunk. The longest run to a register is about 12 feet. Is there any advantages or disadvantages for replacing these runs with insulated flexible duct? Having some issues with the current galvinized pipes doing a little popping and cracking during each heat cycle. |

I like the insulated board duct for the main trunk sections and galvanized pipe for the runners to help with noise control. I think the cfm rating on the flex duct is lower than galvanized. Insulating the galvanized would help with the noise I would think. I waited and found some rock bottom specials on insulated flex duct and removed the duct portion and insulated my galvanized runners much cheaper than buying insulation solely for galvanized. I think the loss in air flow with flex is pretty high in comparison. |

"I think the cfm rating on the flex duct is lower than galvanized. Insulating the galvanized would help with the noise I would think" to move the same air that a hard pipe duct with flex the flex is sized one size up. not poking @ you countryboy...just how my mind works. of course all should be mastic sealed...long seams, best of luck OP |
After info here and further investigation on line seems like sticking with my galvinized pip is the best. Have done some tweaking on how the pipe is hung as well as clearances and have resolved some of the popping and cracking issues. Thanks for all inputs. |
arlie - I saw your other thread as well. I am having airflow noise issues with my system. Why did you decide against insulated flex? Thanks. |

Just a question about growing African Violets in clay pots. Do or Don't? Any info would be helpful. I have 3 AV's in clay pots now should i go back to plastic pots or will they do just as good in clay? they have been in the clay pots for a few weeks and look fine 2 are even starting to bloom again. If its any help i have them under Grow lights. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ant - I prefer them in plastic for several reasons- too heavy, hard to clean, dry too fast, but the main issue is that the fertilizer salts get absorbed by the porous clay, they migrate to the rim of the pot - and burn the leaf stalks that touch them. WHat I will do - i will try to find the plastic pots as close as possible to the clay ones - and try to move the plants to plastic without disturbing the roots too much. If you just like clay - you can use them as cachepots for display purposes. Good Lick Irina |
- Posted by ant_hubb256 7 (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 15:33
Thanks Irina! Im fairly new at growing AV's but have lots of experience with other houseplants. I can tell i'm already becoming addicted to African Violets. I still have the 4" plastic pots they came in would those work or should i move on to something better? |
- Posted by nwgatreasures (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 22:45
ant, I'm not Irina but I wanted to welcome you to the forum board. We recommend a general rule of thumb regarding pot size. The size of the pot should be no more than 1/3 the width of the plant itself. A 4 inch pot would be suitable for a 12 inch plant. Most AVs will go in either a solo cup size pot or a 2 to 3 inch pot. When their roots are "hugged" with the correct size pot, they will thrive and give you lots of pleasure :) Glad to have you here and hope you'll stick around, |
Hear, hear! Irina |
- Posted by ant_hubb256 7 (My Page) on Tue, May 11, 10 at 14:41
Thank You both. I have been reading around on the forum for a few weeks, and decided to was time to join. I'm glad I did! Everyone on here seems to be very intelligent when it comes to African Violets! I repoted last night and they already look better than they did before, and thats saying alot because I thought they looked pretty good before!It seems they perked up or something just overnight. Once again Thank You for your help! |
When you say "solo cups" do you actually use the waxy paper cups? or are you just referring to that size and still use plastic pots? Julie |
- Posted by nwgatreasures (My Page) on Tue, May 11, 10 at 19:12
Plastic Solo cups, not paper.. |
- Posted by nwgatreasures (My Page) on Tue, May 11, 10 at 19:13
Oh Good Lord! I didn't know that picture was going to be that big. :/ |
LOL The burning plastic fumes have altered your sense of size :-) |

AM, Shut up! LOL Dora |
<3 <3 <3 looooove yooooou! |
Love you both - smooch! I am drilling - stack 6 pots together - and run 2 holes with a drill. Hate the stench - plus my last saudering iron gave the ghost. irina |
Love you too, Irina!! <3 I use my Dremel... But then again I am a tool freak :-) |
- Posted by nwgatreasures (My Page) on Wed, May 12, 10 at 18:05
I've tried the drill/dremel and can't get my groove with that way. when I melt, I do it on my stove underneath my exhaust fan....which btw, would suck your pants off if they weren't buttoned.....I'm not saying I don't get fumes but I can see the smoke sucking right up thru that exhaust fan. I also like 2 holes on the outside of my cups and in the same place on each cup so stacking and doing more than one at a time doesn't work well for that. Dora |
Dora - you are one controlling lady! I bet everything in your house and home is super orderly, all containers in a fridge have dates on them and all the grass is brushed southward ;-)). I also do 2 holes - but of course with a drill they are all over the place. Last time I used a soldering iron on these Solos - I was coughing and heaving. yuck. i. |
- Posted by nwgatreasures (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 10 at 8:05
@ Irina.... LOL Not quite :) The grass is brushed to the north. :P Interestingly enough, I am *always on the lookout for a way to do something better, easier, etc but if it doesn't pan out, I know what to go back to. I was afraid I would hurt myself (or my procelain stove top) with that drill and the dust made me cough. I am kind of anal about many things and being super organized provides a tremendous sense of mental comfort to me. I used to see it as a character fault but learned to see it as a gift :) And don't worry, I took it in the spirit intended :) I remember when I first came here 2+ years ago, I was so convinced that the way that I had been taught was THE way to do it...and I began to learn from all of you....and I learned that the person who taught me not only didn't know everything....but that they didn't know much at all and I began to grow and experience a greater quality to my plants, blooms and overall violet experience. As great as that was, it couldn't touch the people that I've met :) When we know better, we do better. We're either green and growing or ripe and rotten. I know what I want to be :) Dora |
Dora - that's why we are ever green and young. We always learn. You should be glad you are not married to somebody like my DH. I need to keep an eye on him otherwise he will nail something that should be screwed, paint in his best outfit and step on my plants outside because he is walking across my flowerbed. Otherwise he is a total gem. Cheers irina |

Don't be sure that I don't..... where do you think my thrips probabaly come from? He accidentally sprayed too close to my Oakleaf Hydrangea that I looked for for over 2 years and babied before I finally put it in the ground @@. Dora |

And over 2 million unique readers monthly!
Last night, within the stifling train,
Lit by the foggy lamp o'erhead,
Sick of the sad Last News, I read
Verse of that joyous child of Spain,
Who dwelt when Rome was waxing cold,
Within the Roman din and smoke.
And like my heart to me they spoke,
These accents of his heart of old:-
"Brother, had we but time to live,
And fleet the careless hours together,
With all that leisure has to give
Of perfect life and peaceful weather,
"The Rich Man's halls, the anxious faces,
The weary Forum, courts, and cases
Should know us not; but quiet nooks,
But summer shade by field and well,
But county rides, and talk of books,
At home, with these, we fain would dwell!
"Now neither lives, but day by day
Sees the suns wasting in the west,
And feels their flight, and doth delay
To lead the life he loveth best."
So from thy city prison broke,
Martial, thy wail for life misspent,
And so, through London's noise and smoke
My heart replies to the lament.
For dear as Tagus with his gold,
And swifter Salo, were to thee,
So dear to me the woods that fold
The streams that circle Fernielea!

Hi, everyone. We're only beginning to consider that we might build a new home in a year or so. We're looking for a contemporary style with lots of glass, MBR plus guest bedroom, an office, and a TV/music room. Square feet, probably 2000 or so; we're empty-nesters who are building our final home. Our land, if we do this, is sloping. We're thinking of a one-story with a garage on one end down the slope; probably have a deck on top of the garage. This is a lot of detail, I know, but I'm trying to give as full a picture as I can of what we're considering. Thanks for any advice you can offer about a good place to start looking at house plans. |

houseplans.co This site has lots of contemporary plans of all sizes. Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. Also try houseplans.com, it has quite a few contemporary designs. Best to you! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc.
sanctuarygirl, thank you very much. I like many of the mascord designs; hadn't heard of them before you posted. I'm afraid our lot and house requirements are so specific that we won't find a plan, now that I've looked all day, but I've certainly gotten some ideas. I'll have to let all this jell for a while and see where we are. Again, thank you. |
We are considering having Mascord Designs alter one of their plans to meet our needs. We need to make some changes to the interior, and completly change the roof and elevation/style of the house, and so far they seem easy to work with. |
Thanks, Laura. We aren't far enough along to even contact anyone yet, but I've got the name now and have saved a plan. We'd like to avoid the cost of an architect; in fact, we probably have to do that or not build, but we're way too early in the process to do more than look at plans and think about what we might like to have. Mascord certaInly has some interesting designs. |
susanka, there's a couple of sites you can check out. Here's a few off the top of my head. Contempophile, Homedsgn, Freshome Those are pretty good sites to find contemporary designs. I'm sure there's more but it's a good start. |
- Posted by ChrisStewart (My Page) on Fri, Sep 20, 13 at 9:25
Depending where you are you can get a custom design for little or no more than a quality stock plan. Some areas have quite a bit of regulation which drives the plan cost up considerably. |

It's rather unlikely that this is true, but it sure seems like the Washington Wizards practice 360 layups. Between John Wall's preseason dazzler and Nick Young's spin-o-rama from last night, that's two incredible lay-ins in the span of about two months. Not your typical basketball fare.
So, it's either the world's strangest basketball drill — "OK everyone, spinning layups time." — or Nick Young's been watching Penny Hardaway highlight tapes again. We'll know which it is if Kirk Hinrich busts one of these out.

It Starts With a "D" and Ends With an "Ing"
Posted by Pike in ding, screenshots, trapping, tags: ding, screenshots, trappingNow I need to figure out what to do next!
In other news, I did Vortex Pinnacle. Guess what? I got to TRAP. My only issue is that I'm still sort of trying to figure out Trap Launcher. I seem to I run into weird LOS issues when I least expect it, thus, I fail at it more than I figured I would. You see, I come from the old school of chain trapping and I'm used to, you know, pulling the mob to me. Which I actually had to do a few times when improvising in Vortex Pinnacle today, which sort of made me feel all warm and fuzzy all over. Still, "Figure out Trap Launcher" is at the top of my To Do List.

What every day item have you incorporated in to your Christmas decor?
I was in my husband's office and noticed a red wooden CD holder with three sections. I laid it on it's side and put it on top of our refrigerator. In one section I put a Hallmark snowman mug with a snowflake, in the second a Hallmark snowman mug with a bunch of red berries, and in the third a Hallmark mug with a little tree. On top I put some greenery. One of my favorite decorations. I already had everything from Christmases past so there was no cost and about 5 minutes of labor. I'm not a craft kind of person so this was my kind of Christmas project. |

Great idea, swest! Sounds very festive! (do you take pics?...can't remember)...we can walk you thru it if you want instructions. The latest 'everyday' item I've used is a set of those (3) wall box frames ...I bought at a consignment store & then put the (3) cutest little Elves in them on my Gr'ma's old treadle sewing machine top. The Elves were a garage sale find this summer ($3 for the box of 'em...porcelain!) I change the decor on the treadle quite frequently for Holidays! I'll post a pic & attach the link to that post I already started a few days ago. TFS! Jeanne S. |

This is from a 104-page comic book, in Italian, about the last days of the life of Marco Pantani. I had to use a dictionary to read it, and eventually I just gave up and let the pictures tell me the story. That seemed important when I was done. On February 14, the day he killed himself, Valentine's Day, when my wife and I are talking about Marco Pantani the way we always do on Valentine's Day, I will, this year, add something new to the conversation by confessing that I, a writer, didn't really read this book and in the end didn't feel like I had to.
This is a sticker of Fabio Parra. He finished
third in the Tour de France, 1988 I think—I don't feel like Google cheating—which was the highest finish ever for a Colombian. Most people tend to get more excited about Lucho Herrera, the exquisite climber from Colombia who won Alpe d'Huez ('84, I Googled it) and two polka-dot jerseys. Typically, I would, too. I have a thing for the angels of the mountains. But Parra, I always thought, wore his suffering in a way I admired. I got the sticker from Cycling Inquisition. One of my favorite posts from that site is titled, If You Hold Something Close Enough, You Will Suffocate It. The story talks about music, and being young, and cycling, and eventually asks: "Why is it that when we find something we like, we enjoy, and perhaps love, we want to hold it so close that we risk suffocating it, and killing it? Why is any musical style or activity so sacred that only a select few should be allowed in? Is cycling that sacred to you? Do you laugh at other people's bikes or attire? Do you laugh at the new guy? Do you laugh at the guy with a bike that's 'too good' for him? Does it seriously matter that much to you? Is your secret club less secret today? Is cycling the new golf? Does it matter? If your relationship to your bike and riding it is so personal, how can it be disturbed (if only minimally and for a second) by the mere sight of someone else riding a bike in a different manner. . . Do you hold cycling so stubbornly close that you are choking it?"
And this is a book I just bought, which is about our dwindling affinity and ability to make actual things, to perform actual work on physical objects. The first chapter is titled, "A Brief Case for the Useful Arts." I was thinking about this over the weekend. I was taking a chainsaw to some downed trees and got to use some tricky cuts to make the trees do what I needed them to when they fell. And I thought of some races I've done, some rides, and how just a few times I'd pulled off some tricky cuts.
And I thought about the comic book I never finished reading—that maybe instead of getting frustrated I'd just made a kind of tricky cut, somehow knowing that I shouldn't hold the legend of Marco too stubbornly close—and I thought, then, out in my woods while the chainsaw jumped and popped and cleared its throat, about the varieties and colors and guises of suffering and its suitability as soulcraft. I thought I was thinking too much to be chainsawing, so I shut the thing off.
This morning I wore this Freebird Velo shirt, which is funny but something I believe anyway, or maybe something I believe in especially because it is no less true for being funny. I can read the whole thing, too.

Tool with name Nino promises Robot program sites in minutes rather than weeks!
Robot call Nino, or robot programmer.
I decided to post because I found a great initiative! Check it out:
To use it simply to have a purely html layout (you can use on your own website or purchase third-party choose between 50 000 models on the site Nino) have a domain and hosting (Nino provides 2 free) and give some instructions to the robot. You realize a register, customize your CMS according to your company (including logo), creates a database so easy and explained and ready!
In a few seconds your CMS will be ready because it was created by the robot. Enough then registering the content you want in the CMS and follow some instructions. You appear to your layout, where, when mousing over, blocks layout distinguished by color and by clicking on each one, you insert the content you want, already registered with CMS. This can be changed, preview, and other functions, and before you publish, then yes, you have a new site, with no change in your HTML.
Briefly, in minutes you have your customized design, with the design you want, do not need any more adapt to the CMS market, it changes a lot huh!
It seems like magic, but it is not! For this, you pay a small monthly fee and can still hold a free trial (they have layouts for testing) before signing any plan to see if you like.
Comes with domain, comodo ssl certificate, whoisguard, templates, consultants and analysts available to you, all free.
It is worthwhile to visit the site that has great content and various explanatory videos and perform the test. You'll find that in no time you will already be able to make your first site in minutes.

Torano Master Cigars Cigars
Torano Master
With a name like Toraño Master, the cigar so designated better be good. Really freaking good. Fortunately, the two men behind the cigar, Charlie Toraño and Felipe Sosa, are themselves masters of the leaf. Through their close collaboration, these legends were able to create a smoke worthy of a Top 3, and ratings of 91 and an extraordinary 98. What's their secret? There isn't one. Just hard work and a commitment to sourcing the best leaves from the Esteli and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua and rolling them with superior craftsmanship beneath a perfectly aged Habano leaf from Ecuador.
The Toraño Master would be well worth the experience at twice the price, but somehow the creators have found a way to keep it affordable so that anyone can keep their humidor well stocked alongside other masterful creations like the Rocky Patel The Edge Habano and San Lotano Habano. Paired with a frothy root beer on a sunny afternoon, this cigar could be the one to inspire you to reach your own pinnacle of achievement.

There is no statutory crime in merely being an intoxicated passenger in a private car which is parked or operated on a public highway. Facts and circumstances, however, such as obscenity or disturbance of the public peace would bring the passenger within the purview of the prohibition of being intoxicated in a public place.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
October 6, 1950
Honorable James A. PrydeChief, Washington State PatrolOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 49-51 No. 363
Dear Sir:
In answer to your request for an opinion from this office in which you ask:
"Would a person who is intoxicated and is a passenger in a private car which is parked or being operated on a public highway, be considered as being intoxicated in a public place or would he be considered as being intoxicated in a private place, such as in one's home?"
Our conclusion is as follows:
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
Our Supreme Court in its decision on a criminal action in which the defendant was arrested while in possession of intoxicating liquors, said liquors having been found in his private vehicle, State v. Knutson, 154 Wash. 87, 280 Pac. 922, said:
"Each case presents, of course, a state of facts to a greater or less extent different from that presented in every other case. After careful consideration, we are of the opinion that what the officers saw on the evening of appellant's arrest supported a reasonable belief on the part of the officers that appellant was, in their presence, violating the law, and constituted probable cause for the search which was made of appellant's automobile. * * *"
A specific statement of facts did not accompany your request for an opinion and our answer must, therefore, be somewhat general in nature. You will appreciate that facts may vary and our answer, applicable in one instance, might not apply in a different situation.
There have been so many decisions holding that a public highway is a public place that it will be taken for granted that a vehicle parked or operated on a public highway is, in law, in a public place. The statutes on being intoxicated in a public place include section 416, chapter 249, Laws of 1909 (Rem. Rev. Stat. 2668) which provides:
"Every person who shall become intoxicated by voluntarily drinking intoxicating liquors, and who, while intoxicated shall loiter about any place where intoxicating liquors are sold or kept for sale, or create any disturbance or use any profane or indecent language in any public place, street or meeting, or commit any assault or breach of the peace, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
[[Orig. Op. Page 3]]
It will be noted that a passenger in a private car would not be loitering where liquors are sold or kept for sale or necessarily be guilty of creating a disturbance in a public place, street or meeting, or committing assaults or breaches of the peace.
Another statute, namely section 1, chapter 23, Laws of 1909 Ex. Sess. (Rem. Rev. Stat. 2721 1/2) provides:
"Any person who shall use in the presence of any person any indecent or vulgar language, or who shall appear upon any public road or street or in any public place or conveyance in any indecent, drunken or maudlin condition or boisterous manner shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished accordingly."
This statute does not apply because a passenger is not himself on a public road or street nor is he in a public conveyance. See also section 7306-35 Rem. Supp., which provides that no person who is intoxicated shall be or remain in any public place.
We are aware of a number of cases from another jurisdiction which, at first glance, would appear to hold that one in a private car in an intoxicated condition was guilty of being drunk in a public place, but in all of such cases the defendant was either arrested after he had alighted from the vehicle as inTaylor v. State (Ga.) 4 S.E. (2d) 484, or was driving the vehicle as inWinters v. State (Ind.) 160 N.E. 294, or was charged with some other crime as in Thompson et al. v. State, (Miss.) 121 So. 275, or the facts were different, such as boisterousness, or in an extreme interpretation of the law as found in Holcombe v. State (Ga.) 187 S.E. 599. It would, therefore, appear that our laws making it a crime to be in an intoxicated condition in a public place would not apply to an individual who was merely sitting in a private vehicle which happened to be located on a public street or highway. Where said person is shown to be creating a disturbance or using profane and indecent language audible to the public, the fact that he was in a private vehicle would not insulate him from arrest and the other provisions of said acts would then apply.
[[Orig. Op. Page 4]]
You may be interested to know that our Supreme Court in State v. Gibbons, 118 Wash. 171, 203 Pac. 390, held that where a defendant was unlawfully arrested and his automobile seized and searched without any warrant, that said seizure is a constitutional violation which implies that one's private automobile is as inviolate as one's private dwelling. This case was confirmed in principle in State v. Knutson, supra. Inasmuch, however, as it would appear that there is no statute which makes it a crime to be intoxicated while sitting in a private vehicle it is not necessary to answer your question as to whether or not said person could be considered under the law as being intoxicated in a private place such as one's home.
Very truly yours,
SMITH TROY Attorney General

Current Tape Reviews
Artist Name: Dan Gushue / DANAX |
Title: Where Do You Go |
Date Posted: March 2013 |
Genre: Rock and Pop |
PC (no technical information given) with Digidesign 002 Digirack interface and Command|8 control surface running Avid Pro Tools 7.4 with IK Multimedia T-RackS 3, FXpansion BFD, and Bomb Factory Virtual Drums. Shure SM57 mics, Joemeek VC5 Meequalizer and SC2 Compressor, BOSS NS-2 Noise Suppressor and GE-7 Graphic Equalizer pedals, MXR Wylde Overdrive, EBTech Hum Eliminator, BBE Sound MaxCom Compressor/Limiter/Gate/Sonic Maximizer. Guitars: Gibson Les Paul Classic 1960 (2001) with ZWylde EMGs; Jackson RR3 with KKing EMGs; Washburn XB-400 bass' MESA Triple Rectifier and Marshall JCM800 amps.
"Where Do You Go" is a one man band rock instrumental. Dan did it all ("composed, performed, recorded, mixed, mastered and produced") at his home studio.
While we admire the performance here, to our ears the tone of the electric guitar was harsh, and more than a little bitey in spots.
As for the rhythm section, we felt that the drums were perfectly suited to the acoustic aspect of the song's sound, but lacked enough "heavy" to drive the electric side of things. Lastly, we heard a fair amount of string rattle on the bass guitar, which was distracting, particularly in the mellower sections of the mix.
Suggestions: While acoustic/electric instrumental arrangements are certainly nothing new, there are decisions and often compromises that need to be addressed in order to bring out the best in both camps. As we mentioned earlier, Dan is a fine lead guitarist and "Where Do You Go" is a solid vehicle for showcasing his skill.
That said, we would love to hear a richer/creamier tone on the lead guitar. A check of Dan's gear list indicates that he has more than enough tools at his disposal to do so, although failing to mention his monitor speakers makes us shake our head. Please, please, please loyal readers, many of you will go so far as to include your cables and power conditioners in your gear lists, but less than ten percent of you bother to list monitor speakers. Monitors and mix room acoustics are, in our opinion, the most critical part of the recording chain, so do Uncle Marty a favor this holiday season and start including them in your gear lists!
As for the remainder of Dan's mix, once the electric lead guitar is rounded out, we suggest that he explore a heavier and more ambient snare drum sound. Oh, and maybe have the neck checked out on the bass... an adjustment may be in order to eliminate the string buzz.
Summary: Some easy fixes will set things right.

Clinical Interests
Treatment of patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies with bone marrow transplantation; treatment of patients with chronic graft versus host disease.
Research Interests
Adult hematopoietic stem/bone marrow transplantation (HSCT) involves the transfer of donor cells to patients/recipients suffering from leukemia, lymphoma or other blood/bone marrow cancers. Dr. Sarantopoulos primary laboratory interest is study of the significant immune pathology that develops in patients who have undergone HSCT. While HSCT offers the possibility of cure for many patients with hematologic diseases, the full potential of HSCT has not been realized because of transplant-related complications. Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) has become the most significant post-HSCT cause of morbidity and mortality. Chronic GVHD has an adverse impact on survival that has not improved significantly over the last 30 years. The only standard therapy for chronic GVHD is high-dose steroids. Targeted therapy for chronic GVHD has been difficult to develop due to limited understanding of immunopathologic mechanisms in human cGVHD. Responses to rituximab suggest that B cells play a role in cGVHD, but the mechanisms that promote and sustain B cell involvement have not been elucidated. If we can better understand the pathophysiology of chronic GVHD we can develop targeted therapeutic agents specific for BAFF pathways and activated B cells that may lead to decreased morbidity and mortality in our patients.

Lore Launches a Rebuilt Platform, Aims to be a LinkedIn for Education
The latest from edtech startup Lore: Today the company debuts a rebuilt platform, designed to function more like a social network and less like those dreadful discussion forums you might remember from your educational days.
The rebrand fits with the vision CEO Joe Cohen was excitedly evangelizing when last we spoke. Back in April, the company shucked its original name (Coursekit) and christened itself Lore, a move meant to provide the team with more wiggle room. "Our vision is to be a platform for learning in whatever form," he told Betabeat, but refused to divulge any details on what that might mean, product-wise.
In a phone conversation yesterday explaining the changes to Betabeat, Mr. Cohen was every bit as irrepressibly pie in the sky: Read More

Journalism as an industry has certainly started to move with the times. Most news outlets have a responsive online offering to complement their print titles and are publicising articles via social channels. Local press is also catching on, with Johnston Press recently expanding its tablet app portfolio.
Whilst these efforts are certainly admirable, it's got to be said that journalists aren't always at the forefront of digital developments and as such, it can take a while for knowledge to seep down to the industry. This isn't just an issue with experienced journalists, even fresh graduates can be depressingly limited in their digital knowledge, which is surprising given the impact that channels such as social media have had on journalism. Whether this can be attributed to a lack of digital training at Universities is another blog entirely, but it's certainly a worry.
To address any skills gaps and further their digital skills, it was suggested at the recent Content Marketing Show that journalists should sit next to SEO professionals. This seemed a rather standard concept to me, as all our journalists sit a stone's throw away from our SEO team and indeed the social and creative teams. That doesn't mean we make them coffee, mind.
Sitting next to digital experts has certainly boosted our skillset at content promotion and helped us to use innovative methods for news-gathering. More than that, it's helped us to measure the results of our articles and refine our future content strategies.
So, what exactly can journalists learn from sitting near these digital hipsters?
It's important for journalists to understand how to make their stories stand out from a sea of content. Thus, they need to know how to get their work ranking higher than other similar offerings. Broadly, this is where SEO comes in, teaching journalists how to utilise keywords – both head and long tail – that will help increase the visibility of their stories. This doesn't mean that phrases should be shoe-horned into text, as is the common misconception. Rather, stories should still be written with the audience in mind, which means utilising searchable terms, adding in relevant links to internal/external sources and ensuring the page the content is sitting on is technically sound.
SEO pros are also adept at using Google Analytics to measure how well content is performing. By becoming confident using this tool, journalists can hone future writing and understand how their content is contributing to the site as a whole. Importantly, journalists can use Google Analytics to assess whether their content has had an impact on conversions (this is applicable if the article is sitting on a site that offers a product or service).
Author Rank is another area where content and SEO work together. Google released Author Rank as another tool to combat against poor quality search results. It works by boosting the reputation of authors who produce solid content and gives good writers a competitive edge. Journalists should embrace Author Rank to increase not only their profile, but the profile of the site they're writing for.
It's not enough just to produce endless reams of text – no matter how great it may be. Readers are busy; they want to consume content in bite-size forms across multiple channels. Instead of sitting at home reading the paper with the morning cuppa, they're turning to mobile devices to catch up on the latest news. With a plethora of content on the web, journalists need to think of creative ways to get their audience listening and returning to their stories.
Instead of adding a stock image, journalists could exploit more creative means, such as producing an accompanying graphic or even relaying a story through the medium of an infographic. Using such creative methods can help to increase traffic to a news story and give journalists valuable design experience.
As well as being a great tool to search for breaking news stories or getting opinions from those on the ground, social media is a great way of promoting content and getting it out to a wider audience. With the help of a team of social media experts, journalists can get their content out to the right people, thus boosting traffic and ultimately your title's reach.
Social is also a great way to push your own personal brand, getting writers in front of potential story leads and work. Journalists can be up against the odds when sniffing out a story, so building up a good social reputation and a solid list of contacts is vital.
To conclude, it's through immersing themselves in the above practices that journalists become knowledgeable at capitalising on digital channels. And, what better way to learn than to be surrounded by experts?

Public memorial services for Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye set for this weekend on Oahu
by: Maureen O'Connellposted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 at 11:33 AM
A memorial service for Hawaii's Sen. Daniel K. Inouye will be held on Sun. Dec. 23 at Oahu's National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.
The Medal of Honor recipient who represented the Islands in Congress for 50 years died Monday of respiratory complications at a Washington D.C.-area hospital. Inouye, 88, was president pro tempore of the Senate and, as the Senate's senior member, third in the line of presidential succession.
Services for Inouye began yesterday in the U.S. Capitol rotunda, a rare honor usually reserved for presidents and historical figures. Among them: Presidents Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. The last person to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda was President Gerald Ford in 2007.
A public memorial service will be held for Inouye at 10:30 a.m. (5:30 a.m. Hawaii time) in Washington National Cathedral. Inouye will lie in state at Hawaii's State Capitol tomorrow evening, with public viewing from 5 p.m. until midnight.
The final memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Sunday at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.
Inouye, who grew up in Oahu's Honolulu area, began his career in public service at the age of 17 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army shortly after Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He served with "E" company of the 442 Regimental Combat Team, as group consisting entirely of Americans of Japanese ancestry. The combat team, known for its motto of "Go for Broke," would become one of the most decorated military units in history. Inouye lost his right arm while charging machine gun nests on a hill in San Terenzo, Italy on April 21, 1945. His actions during that battle earned him the Medal of Honor.
Three years after statehood was established in 1959, Inouye, a Democrat, was elected to the U.S. Senate where he served for nearly nine consecutive terms.
The senator's widow, Irene Hirano Inouye, yesterday announced the start of The Daniel K. Inouye Memorial Fund, which has been created at the Hawaii Community Foundation at her request. The fund aims to help the organizations and causes Inouye supported. For contribution information, click here.

Over the centuries coffee has come under attack from various quarters making unfounded and sometimes completely crazy claims against it. Most attacks have had some underlying motive to damage coffee's reputation, often (as is so common in life) for monetary gain. In 1777, Frederick the Great tried to restrict the use of coffee in Germany by claiming it was unpatriotic:
"It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee use by my subjects, and the like amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. My people must drink beer. His Majesty was brought up on beer and so were his ancestors."
The debate on whether coffee is bad for us has gone on every since it started being widely drunk. In 1511, coffee drinking was banned in Mecca as it was deemed to be intoxicating and so therefore against Islamic law. In just about every country where coffee drinking has been introduced it's provoked some controversy. Here is my list of the 5 greatest slurs against coffee:
5. Public Health Enemy No.1 – In his book 'Kicking the Coffee Habit'; published in 1981, Charles Wetherall called coffee the "Public Health Enemy No.1" of America. On the front cover he stated that coffee is "America's No.1 Drug Problem" and that "Millions of Americans are hooked on coffee…risking dozens of health hazards, many of them fatal". Quite why Wetherall made such an attack on coffee I'm not sure. Judging from the titles of his other books, such as: 'Seven Surefire Strategies to Stop Cheating and Eating Too Much of the Wrong Foods'; 'How to Get Yourself to Stay on Any Diet' and 'How to Get Someone You Love to Quit Smoking', I'm guessing he's one of those self-help gurus looking to make a quick buck.
4. It Dries up the Cerebrospinal Fluid – For those not medically minded, the cerebrospinal fluid is the liquid cushion between the skull and the brain. In 1679, a medical student named Colomb denounced coffee claiming that it "dries up the cerebrospinal fluid and the convolutions…the upshot being general exhaustion, paralysis, and impotence." Colomb was part of a group of doctors in Marseilles who feeling threatened by all the positive health claims made about coffee, went on the counterattack.
3. Causes Impotence – Colomb wasn't the only person to claim that coffee caused impotence. Back in 1674, the ''Women's Petition against Coffee' was published in England by a jealous group of coffee widows, who were upset that their husband's spent more time in the coffeehouses than with them. You can't really blame them for feeling aggrieved, as at the time coffeehouses were male only haunts. In the pamphlet they claimed: "coffee makes a man as barren as the dessert out of which this unlucky berry has been imported; that since its coming the offspring of our mighty forefathers are on the way to disappear as if they were monkeys and swine."
2. Causes Heart Flip-Flops – Not a very medical sounding term: in this country, when we think of flip-flops we think of footwear, worn in summer particularly to the beach (what our Antipodean cousins call 'thongs'). But apparently in America a heart flip-flop is another name for a palpitation. In 1964, Dr D R Huene, a US Naval Reserve flight surgeon, stated that navy pilots who drank too much coffee "complained of frequent heart flip-flops while in the air." Although his statement was based on no scientific research, it generated a lot of media attention.
1. Causes Brain Fag – I had no idea what brain fag was until I looked it up on Wikipedia (which knowing Wikipedia was probably incorrect); I just like the name. Brain fag was apparently used in the US (where this claim was made) to describe mental fatigue. The statement was made by Charles Post circa 1897. Post was a prolific slurrer of coffee. In fact I could have made a whole list dedicated to his claims. Post was the owner of Postum, a grain based coffee substitute and he frequently used aggressive advertising to scare the public off coffee onto his own product. Other claims Post made against coffee in his ads include: blindness, neuralgia and stomach ulcers.
Post's ads were so successful in brainwashing the general public that he inspired a loyal legion of customers to write testimonials for him. A nurse from Pennsylvanian wrote: "I used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly…Naturally, I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. I observe a curious fact about Postum used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk."
Fact from the Fiction
Of course none of the slurs in the list hold a blind bit of truth. Huge amounts of time and money have been spent researching into whether coffee is safe and no links have been proven between coffee consumption and any medical disorder. In fact, current research is proving that coffee is actually beneficial to us (within moderation). I'm sure many of you will remember the headline back in 2007, about Dr Joe Vinson's study: "Coffee is the No.1 Source of Antioxidants in the American Diet". Coffee's come along way in 30 years: from poison (according to Charles Wetherall) to cure.
