hey hey...just traded an SG custom to my best friend for a SC HB II. I love the 57/08's but I'll be taking them out and placing them in another one of my guitars. Any suggestions for a "different" PRS pickup for the guitar? Anyone here ever change the pickups out? I only own one other hollowbody (an ES-339) and it has that classic sound already.
I play everything from brutal metal to smooth and sexy jazz, so any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[Insight] INSIGHT - Lebanon - Syria angry with Nasrallah? - ME1

My note -- another indication that Syria is trying to make Nasrallah into
its scapegoat?
My source says Syria is very upset with Hizbullah's chief Hasan Nasrallah
because, during his eulogy of Imad Mughniyye, he limited his accusation to
Israel. Syrian president Bashar Asad has expressed his anger to Nasrallah
through his own channels of communication. What particularly upset Asad
was Nasrallah ommission of any reference to the role played by US
intelligence in hunting down Mughniyye. Asad feels that by limiting the
accusation to Israel, Nasrallah was jeopardizing Syria's attempts to
convince Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert to relaunch the peace talks
with Damascus. Nasrallah's accusation came at a time when the Israeli
prime minister was meeting with his Turkish counterpart who informed
Olmert that Syria accepts Israeli preconditions for resuming the talks.
Asad has accepted that Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights will be
gradual and over a 25 year period, and that it will not start until 10
years after a peace treaty is reached.
Asad felt that by eliminating the role of parties, other than Israel, in
assassinating Mughniyye, Nasrallah was essentially asserting that the
Mossad has penetrtated Syrian intelligence.Politically, it would have been
more correct to include the CIA as well because Asad can always say that
Arabs do not have the means to stop the USA, whereas it would reflect
negatively on them to fail with the MOssad.
ME1 Comment: Asad's position has much to do with the Arab shame culture,
which places a premium on face saving, and emphasis on looking good, even
when there is no reason for celebration.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
11 Then I saw heaven open, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True; it is with justice that he judges and fights his battles. | 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. |
12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and he wore many crowns on his head. He had a name written on him, but no one except himself knows what it is. | 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. |
13 The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is "The Word of God." | 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. |
14 The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and dressed in clean white linen. | 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. |
15 Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will trample out the wine in the wine press of the furious anger of the Almighty God. | 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. |
16 On his robe and on his thigh was written the name: "King of kings and Lord of lords." | 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. |
17 Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair: "Come and gather together for God's great feast! | 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, |
18 Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and soldiers, the flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of all people, slave and free, great and small!" | 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great." |
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one who was riding the horse and against his army. | 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. |
20 The beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had performed miracles in his presence. (It was by those miracles that he had deceived those who had the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped the image of the beast.) The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. | 20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. |
21 Their armies were killed by the sword that comes out of the mouth of the one who was riding the horse; and all the birds ate all they could of their flesh. | 21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh. |

Hi there you wonderful people!!!!Hope you're all having some wonderful time!!!Here's the throwback of the week :"Pianomental Breakdown No1",i was inspired by french composers like : Debussy,Ravel,Satie...But mostly Debussy!!!Enjoy!!!!
"I really love this. Always love music based on a distinct, persistent rhythm with slight variations, actually it feels like "a kind of calm before the storm". I especially liked: Momentary Beauty Theme, Fallen Conqueror, Tempus Fugit, One Moment Please, Farewell, Momentary Beauty ( all parts ), Enchanted, Open Heart, When Night Falls, and some others. Some of them reminded me of the music to these old noir movies ( with its suspense, anxiety etc. ), and of rock music of late 60s-early 70s - mostly psychedelic/progressive rock, those bands that used piano in their compositions. Also, in some fragments I found a slight resemblance to Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, and probably John Williams." Yaroslav Gerzhedovich Yaroslav Gerzhedovich, Facebook Artist Page
"Alexander Page is one of the most talented young composers of the last ten years!!Absolutely Terrific!!!A "Pot - Pourri" of incredible tunes!!!" Alexander Page, Page?...Alexander Page?!

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. United Way offers Alternative Spring Break in the Borderland By: Stephanie GuadianEL PASO, Texas - Beaches, bikinis, beer and brawls are perhaps the most common denominators when it comes to college students and spring break. But there are exceptions. Jackson Newbury goes to school in Georgia and has decided to spend his week off volunteering in El Paso."I don't know this year, I just felt like doing something actually productive with it. I don't know, I just like giving back a little bit," said Jackson Newbury.Newbury is among 22 students, from all over the country, taking part in United Way's Alternative Spring Break program.The students have traded in drinking games for a real world experience. They are in El Paso to help build homes for low income families. The people who will one day live in the homes -- are working side by side with the spring breakers. The United Ways Rebecca Vorel is in charge of the group. Each student paid $250 dollars to take part in the program."We really think that these kids coming here to El Paso get a lot of meaning out of their week. And they learn so much and have a lot of fun doing it," said Vorel.The students come from as far away as New Hampshire, New York and Minnesota. Nadira Mohamed is a student in Saint Paul, Minn. Her alternative spring break was a chance to pay it forward."I like helping. Because, I have a house too that is Habitat for Humanity. And they built that house for us too. So, I feel like it is a way of giving back as well," said Mohamed.But, it's not all work. The students will get a chance to enjoy Chamizal National Park, take a hike in the Franklin Mountains and enjoy the Borderland's Mexican food trucks. "Definitely, I will take a bit of Texas back home with me when I go back to Minnesota," said Mohamed.While in El Paso, the students will also volunteer at a crisis center and various shelters. While they make memories that may last a life time -- others may not remember their spring break at all.

Kanpai's Japanese fusion small plates worth a cheer
I think of a Japanese izakaya as a casual place, a tavern with some snacky food to supplement drinks. That's not quite how I'd describe the stylish Kanpai, which means "cheers" in Japanese.
The Third Ward restaurant, which opened in the former Nanakusa space, made some changes to the room's décor, but it's still polished and modern. And so are the fusion small plates, meant to be shared. That's the izakaya side of it. But Kanpai also has a full sushi menu, with a dizzying number of rolls (50, by my quick count). »Read Full Article(1)

The 45-year-old country superstar brought his "No Shoes Nation" tour to about 41,000 people at a sold-out Miller Park Saturday night - but it was clear to the thousands of revelers that this was no mere concert. »Read Full Article(18)

What a fun little app this is.
The Music Cue app was created so that you could more easily use music in the classroom to help students become independent. Harnessing the power of the right brain, Music Cue will quickly have your students taking care of business without a word from you.
You'll be able to:
The basic concept of using music to initiate procedures or time transtions is explained in the book, Eight Great Ideas. It's the fourth idea and titled, "How to Use Music for Management."
Quick example: If I wanted my students to come to the carpet for a lesson, I just played Bill Nye, the Science Guy. As soon as they heard the first few notes, everyone knew exactly what to do. Not only that, they knew how long they had in which to do it. And the entire process was achieved without a word from me.
One of the advantages of using songs in the classroom--and especially TV theme songs--is that the song creates an internal timer in each student's head. Before too long, you'll find students taking care of simple tasks in a timely fashion as they learn to use the pace of song to pace what they do.
For more information on this concept, you check out the article I wrote by clicking on the image below. If you're using an iPad, just tap the "Open in iBooks" option and it will be added to your PDF collection.
Music Cue article
As the article above explains, I used to use CDs and a CD player. Then, after Apple introduced the iPod, I started to use one of those. But with either device, I had to be there to stop the music so that the next song on the CD or the next song in the playlist didn't begin to play.
The big advantage of using Music Cue--other than how easy it is to play a song--is that the app will only play the song linked to the cue.
Tap the cue in the roster and then tap the Play button. You and your students will hear the song and nothing else.
Note: You will need to have music on your device in order to create cues. On this link you can find 20 alarms to get you started. You can also find TV theme songs on this page.
Imagine you're working with a small group as the other students are working independently. In five more minutes, though, you want everyone back at their seats for a new activity.
You just tap the 'Return to your seat' cue and then set the timer for 5 minutes. When you tap the Play button, the app will display a countdown timer. When the timer hits 00:00, the song you chose for 'Return to your seat' will be heard.
Bonus: If you were able to display the app screen using an LCD projector or Smartboard, your students who not only know how much time they had left but also what to do when the time was up. That's independence.
The app works natively on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Shown below are some screen shots from an iPhone.
I've been hearing from teachers about an issue they were having with certain cues. Although they followed all of the directions in the user guide, they couldn't get certain cues to play properly.
Finally figured out why. It has to do with Apple's decision to move everyone's music library to iCloud. The PDF below will explain what's going on and how to fix it. Click here to download the one-page explanation.

Hello Smithfield High School Families!
I hope that our SHS Packers have enjoyed a fun-filled and restful summer! It's time to begin a new school year, and I know that our teachers and staff are ready to engage. We look forward to serving your students as they enter or continue their high school experience at Smithfield High. I offer a special "welcome" to our new students who are joining us for the 2014 – 2015 school year.
As you know, we will continue to use technology as a tool to add rigor to our instruction. Students will be issued iPads and are expected to use this tool for classroom instruction. If parents have not attended a technology information session, please plan to do so. Our parents who attended this session when students were underclassmen (perhaps last year or the school year before) will not be required to attend another session. Only parents of freshmen or students who are new to our building will need to attend the session before the student is issued an iPad.
I believe in parent partnerships and I look forward to working with the families at Smithfield High School. I must give a plug to our Boosters organizations, as they are leading the way in our parent-teacher partnerships. We have the Band Booster Club led by President Heath Jones, the Chorus Booster Club led by President Shelley Sykes, the JROTC Booster Club led by Mr. George Clarke, and the Athletic Booster Club led by President Andy Nelson. Please support these booster associations as they give so much to our students at Smithfield High School. If you would like to join or make a donation to a booster club, please contact that organization.
If you would like to receive my weekly emails, please make sure that I have your current email address. I send the emails via Connect 5 once a week on Sunday nights. It helps keeps parents "in the know" about SHS events.
We look forward to this school year! Please contact me if you have questions or concerns. Thanks for your continued support!
Dr. Joyce McDowell
Please do not hesitate to call me at (757) 357-3108 or
email me at email@example.com,
with questions or concerns.

Dave Hartnett
David Anthony "Dave" Hartnett CB (born 25 February 1951) is a former British civil servant who served as the Permanent Secretary for Tax at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) until his retirement in July 2012. Following his retirement he advised HSBC on financial crime governance alongside former Director General of the Serious Organised Crime Agency, Bill Hughes.[1]
Hartnett joined the then Inland Revenue in 1976. He advanced to the position of Director of Capital and Savings in 1998.[2] Following the merger of the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise in 2004, he became HMRC's Director General for Customer Contact and Compliance Strategy and then Director General for Business.[2]
He was one of Her Majesty's Commissioners of Revenue and Customs, the formal governing board of HMRC, from when it was created in 2005 until his retirement,[3] having previously been a board member of the Inland Revenue.[4] On the Board, he acted as Director General of Policy and Technical.[2]
When Paul Gray resigned as Chairman following the loss of the Child Benefit database, Hartnett took over the post in an acting capacity. After permanent replacements were appointed, Mike Clasper as non-executive Chairman and Lesley Strathie as Chief Executive, Hartnett was appointed to a new post of Second Permanent Secretary for Tax, with responsibility for tax professionalism.[2]
Incorrect income tax collection[edit]
In September 2010 Hartnett was widely criticised for refusing to apologise for the HMRC "scandal" that saw millions of people being asked for back dated tax after it was alleged that his department had failed to collect PAYE underpayments correctly. He told BBC Radio Four "I'm not sure a need to apologise ...We didn't get it wrong."[5] He later did issue an unreserved apology.
Corporate tax avoidance[edit]
From October 2010 onwards protesters have been blockading and protesting outside Vodafone stores across the UK[6] following allegations of tax evasion of up to £6 billion, illustrated in a series of articles in Private Eye.[7] These articles alleged preferential treatment of Vodafone due to personal connections between Hartnett and John Connors, Vodafone's head of tax, a former colleague at HMRC.
In May 2011 Private Eye alleged Hartnett personally "shook hands" on a deal over a long-running tax avoidance dispute with Goldman Sachs dating back to 2002, without consulting HMRC lawyers, letting the US bank off around £10m in interest.[8] Complaints from HMRC informants that Hartnett personally intervened in settlement cases and agreed to "sweetheart deals" with no explanation or consultation with lawyers have also been published.[9][verification needed] In October 2011, The Guardian published leaked papers regarding the deal.[10]
Hartnett was presented by activists from UK Uncut with a spoof "Golden Handshake award" at a New College Oxford dinner honoring his retirement in September 2012: several activists donned evening dress and name badges indicating they were from Vodafone and Goldman Sachs and effused over Hartnett's help in saving those companies billions of pounds in taxes. Chairman and head of chambers Robert Venables QC, close friend of Hartnett who was at the dinner, first told the intruders to "depart immediately, before we set the dogs on you", before finally ejecting them with the final words "You are trespassing scum. Go".[11][12][13]
Corporate hospitality[edit]
Hartnett was named by City University London in July 2010 as the most "wined and dined" civil servant in Britain, having been treated to corporate hospitality 107 times over a period of three years.[14]
He stated that his approach to tax disputes with large corporations was "handling disputes in a non-confrontational way and collaborating with customers wherever possible".[15] Harnett claims that this approach secured larger settlements of tax collected faster and more cheaply than if HMRC had taken the taxpayers to court, but this is disputed by Private Eye, who cite particular deals made by Harnett including the arrangement with Vodafone that lost the exchequer approximately £6 Billion.[16]
He was reported as having claimed £10,000 in expenses in 9 months.
Hartnett was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 2003 New Year Honours.[17]
Personal life[edit]
In 1977, Hartnett married Aileen Patricia Mary O'Dempsey: the couple have three children.[18]

Sprained ankles and wrists, arthritic knees and hips, and torn rotator cuffs all have one thing in common: they result in joint pain.
The usual causes of joint pain are over use, sprains, fractures, and arthritis. Becoming familiar with the usual causes and symptoms of joint pain can help you seek appropriate treatment and ongoing care, if necessary.
Here are several medical conditions that can cause joint pain.
Persistent joint pain, swelling, and limited range of motion are typical symptoms of arthritis. Inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid or gouty arthritis, may also make the joint red, hot, and tender to the touch.
Mild arthritis can often be self-managed with pain relievers, ice, and gentle range of motion exercise. Pain that is getting worse or is severe warrants a trip to the doctor to verify the diagnosis and get stronger medications or other therapies.
This is a chronic disease of the joints and the most common joint disorder. The cartilage between a joint's bones gradually wears away with time and use. The lack of cartilage results in pain and stiffness in the joint.
Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon, a thick fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bone. Some common names for tendonitis are tennis or golfer's elbow and repetitive stress injury. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and mild swelling near a joint.
Self-care that includes ice and resting the joint are often effective. A doctor should evaluate ongoing pain.
A sprain is an injury to a ligament. The severity of the injury depends on how badly a ligament is torn or strained and the number of ligaments involved. A sprain can result from a fall, sudden twist, or blow to the body that forces a joint out of its normal position.
The usual signs and symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and loss of the ability to use the joint.
The bursae are fluid-filled sacs around the joints that allow muscles and tendons to slip easily over the ends of bones. If these bursae become inflamed, the joint will be painful.
Although mild joint pain can often be treated with RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) and over-the-counter pain and inflammation relievers, you should see a doctor if you have severe pain, can't put any weight on the joint, it looks crooked, or you can't move it.
Do not resume full activity before you are fully recovered or you are at greater risk for reinjury.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
7 I'll take you as my people, and I'll be your God.

Beautiful bed and customer service Lamond from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer This bed is magnificently beautiful. Very, very heavy and well constructed. No cheap materials or particle board. Don't hesitate, buy it. I don't like the delivery service Wayfair utilizes. I paid extra for delivery and assembly, the first time the bed was damaged and assembled poorly. However, Wayfair's customer service is excellent. They didn't hesitate to accommodate me. I was sent another bed at my own request and it was assembled perfectly the 2nd time around. Can't say enough how much I love this bed and Wayfair for their diligence in keeping their customers happy. |
LOVE IT!!! Lindsay from Mason, OH– Verified Buyer The Platform bed was ordered for my daughters room and I have to admit at first I thought it was too big and too much leather.. After finally agreeing with my 15 year old that she could have the bed it was delivered three weeks later. We did not have them assemble the bed because my husband is pretty handy. He had the bed together in a few hours. Very easy to assemble he said and looked amazing. The bed is very comfy and looks stunning as everyone has said that has seen it in person.. Worth the money!! |
Flawless Adam from Seattle, WA– Verified Buyer This bed frame is truly something special. I got the King size and it is so beautiful to look at and the headboard is so comfortable to lean up against. This is one of my favorite things I have purchased from here! |
Beautiful modern bed Sallie-Anne from Long Beach, CA– Verified Buyer We love this piece of furniture it looks amazing! We were disappointed that when we opened the bed heady he back of it had been damaged by a fork lift, we didn't return as it can't be seen and didn't make any difference to the structure of the bed. Looks stunning, clean lines and the walnut timber surround Is a lovely warm contrast. |
Question on side of bed Mary burnes from Oswego il I really love this bed, I haven't purchased it yet. I'd like to hear from someone who owns the bed and could tell me if it's a pain having the wide sides. I sit on my bed all the time and I'd hate for that ledge to be a nuisance. |
Surpassed expectations Simone from Calgary, AB– Verified Buyer We had high hopes when we purchased this modern masterpiece but we were blown away when it was all assembled. It's such a quality piece. It's huge! The sides of the bed come out as a little perch. Great for sitting on when you're getting ready in the morning. The leather is super soft and the walnut trip is super rich looking. We love it. Worth every penny. |
Inspiration piece. Patricia from Arroyo grande, CA This bed is still in storage. Haven't gotten our floors installed yet for this room. However, madly in love with the design, it quickly became a must have and the inspiration for our amazing master bedroom. |
Amazing Michael from Plantation, FL– Verified Buyer The bed is just as nice as it looks in the pics. Heavy well made bed frame. Some of the attachment points were a little off, but it is no reason to take even a star off. Headboard makes a great impression everytime I walk in the room. Only thing I would say is make sure you have a large bedroom or this will be much to big for the room. |
Perfect!! Mostafa from Chambly, QC– Verified Buyer When i first saw this bed i felt in love ... So classy and quality is just amazing ! Delivery service was awesome ! In general you guys did satisfy another client! |
First purchase love love love Alyne from Hoover, AL– Verified Buyer I love my bed. The delivery was before promise date so that's a plus. |

6A BBB: Nickel's worth of advice pays dividends for Park Christian
MOORHEAD – Hunter Nickel used his dad as motivation Tuesday night at Memorial Auditorium.
The Moorhead Park Christian senior scored 25 points, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked seven shots. That monster effort sparked the Falcons to a 47-39 victory against Fergus Falls Hillcrest in the Minnesota Class 1A, Section 6 boys basketball semifinals.
Nickel's dad, Shane, couldn't attend the section semifinals because he was on the East Coast on a business trip.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. | 2 "The LORD was very angry with your forefathers. |
3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. | 3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Return to me,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD Almighty. |
4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried , saying , Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear , nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD. | 4 Do not be like your forefathers, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.' But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the LORD. |
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? | 5 Where are your forefathers now? And the prophets, do they live forever? |
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said , Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us. | 6 But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your forefathers? "Then they repented and said, 'The LORD Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.' " |

I have a Craftsman GDO model 41A4315-7B. I have no booklet on it. The green LED by the reset button flashes 5 times then waits before flashing 5 time... etc. When I press the wall switch (one Button) the motor hums, the light comes on and that is all. Any Clues?
Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
That is the code for "RPM sensor or motor overload." Most times the door is stuck in the open position when you get this. Check if the trolley (the thing the chain is attached to) is jammed against a bolt just in front of the motor unit. |
- Posted by hoosierham (My Page) on Fri, Jul 28, 06 at 16:10
Thanks for the info Don. That was indeed the situation except that the drive mechanism seemed to be jammed too. When I took off the cover I also found that the main drive gear was broken in half. So as soon as I get a new gear assembly it will be back in operation. Thanks again. |
Same problem, except the gear is not broken, yet. I unplugged it for about an hour hoping it would reset and then move in the close direction. No deal. Any ideas on getting this unjammed? I also did not see any sensor that would tell it has reached the fully open position. |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 22, 08 at 10:11
If you indeed have the same problem remove the bolt just in front of the motor unit and run the opener until the door closes. While it is closed adjust the 'up limit' a couple turns in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the cover. You will find this control on the side of the unit. Be sure to replace the bolt. |
At that point, after removing the bolt and resetting the limit, is there a way to "clear" the flashing light so it stops flashing 5 times over and again ad infinitum?? |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 27, 08 at 16:15
It should turn off by itself once the problem is cured. That little light will always flicker randomly though. |

NAMM is the musical instrument industry's annual woohoo of a trade show where all the big names show off the fancy new wares they want the musicians of the world to embrace. But if you don't actually go to the show, the best part is watching demo videos full of crazy sound and batshit blinking lights. Here's our favourite stuff from this year's show, complete with the desire inducing videos.
Korg MS-20 Mini: 1970s Patchable Synthesiser Resurrected
From 1978 to 1983, Korg produced the MS-20, a two-oscillator analogue synth that was patchable with 6mm cables a lot like a custom modular synth setup. People liked it because of its smooth sound and because the patch panel allowed you a limited degree of customisability without needing to invest in additional units. The MS-20 mini is this classic synth reborn in a tinier package.
Herbie Hancock Blows Kids' Minds With The Power Of Synthesised Music
Legendary jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock stops by Sesame Street to explain the inner workings of the state-of-the-art (in 1983, at least) Fairlight CMI synthesiser and its monochrome touchscreen monitor to a bunch of seven year-olds.
The Pianocade Makes Sweet Music With The Konami Code
And to think your parents claimed you were wasting your life playing thousands of hours of video games as a kid. Little did they know you were actually building up important musical skills that could one day see you performing at Carnegie Hall — at least if they let you play this fantastic Pianocade keyboard/video game controller hybrid.
The Moog Synthesiser Google Doodle IRL
Today's Google Doodle for Robert Moog's birthday is amazingly cool. The only thing cooler than a browser-based analogue synthesiser hooked up to a digital reel-to-reel tape machine is, well, a real Moog synthesiser hooked up to an actual tape machine.

More reviews by larosedechanel
Crystal Clear is my first & only gloss from the Bonne Bell Lip Lites line & it is nice, but it's not my HG. I've read several reviews raving about it & I don't get the big fuss. I do like how it looks good both worn alone & worn on top of a lipstick to give my lips a subtle shine. Despite its very nearly watery texture in the tube, it actually applies smoothly & stays on my lips for a few hrs.! One of my favourite things is how there are 10+ shades, so there is something for everybody's taste. I personally don't mind its minty "toothpaste" smell, but that's just a preferenceI have a thing for minty/menthol glosses. Though this isn't the first clear gloss in my collection I'd grab, I'll say it's a good value for the $3 or 4 it costs at Walmart or Walgreens. I'll purchase it again in a nude/neutral shade like Mocha Mousse, Cappuccino, or Metallic Mocha.
I had this, and then I lost it, but I recently bought it again. It is, singlehandedly, the best lip gloss I have ever used. It is not sticky, like, at all. It looks incredibly natural, and tastes/smells so good. I know I'm hearing bad stuff about the flavor/scent, and that was my first impression too. But I gave it a chance, and I put it on, and it actually tastes really good to me! It is UNDER 5 DOLLARS for such high quality. I love it. I love it so much.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this clear lip gloss. The packaging is nice and sleek and you get a good amount of product, especially for the awesome price (under $3 I believe). The smell is kind of like peppermint and vanilla, but a little bit chemically. Other than that, it's my only complaint. There isn't much of a flavor, but the gloss tingles a bit when it goes on. I would say the tingle is a little less strong than Burt's Bees, but it lasts for a while. I like this, but some people may not. The shine is nice and holds up over time. Also, when I spread the product into the corners of my lips from the middle with my fingers, it doesn't dull the shine of the middle part. Also, it isn't stick at all. I even put some of my super fine hair my glossed lips to test it, and they fell off my lips by just tilting my head. Safe for use in wind with long hair :)
I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a clear lip gloss that isn't too sticky, at a great price, and lasts for a while. The only thing someone might not like is the slightly chemically smell, which isn't noticeable when it's no, and the tingle.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I liked this. Got it as a gift a while back. It's actually one of my favorite clear lip glosses i've tried. It just looks really good on. It doesn't really last all that long on, but its nice.
I actually kind of liked this stuff. The tube is nice and big but slender. The smell is minty but not overpowering. Sure, it's got a little of a funny undertone to it, but it's not too too bad. Doesn't feel sticky or heavy or gross on lips at all; its texture is suprisingly light and refreshing. Leaves lips feeling nice and smoothed. Plus, the applicator gets some of the gloss kind of pulled off as it comes out of the tube, so there's just the right (or even slightly too little) amount of gloss on the wand, so you can actually USE the applicator instead of just smearing and globbing. Good price, too!
More reviews by ilovelipsmackers1990
Okay. Some of you reviewers out there may like this stuff, but I can say that I HATE CRYSTAL CLEAR LIP LITES. <.< It smells like terrible toothpaste, its like water in the tube, and it dries my lips to a crisp and makes them flaky like a Hungry Jack biscuit. This is NOT my HG clear lip gloss, so I'm going to keep rooting around till I find one.
I like this stuff! :)
It has a nice minty smell. Not too overpowering if you ask me, not like toothpaste or medicine. I only need one coat and it's not too thin, and it leaves a nice tingling feeling. Would definately buy again.
I don't know what all the complaints are about. I'm clueless to them. I loved this lipgloss. The smell is a nice mint nothing that pierces the nostrils. The texture is really slick, it moisturizes and hides uneven lips. The packaging leaks just a bit, but if it's cleaned properly there shouldn't be a problem. I would repurchase because it's one of my favourite clear lipglosses. :)
Yuck yuck. This smells really bad. Like a minty medicine. The shine is pretty good, it's not that sticky~... the wand and tube is strangely long. I used to have the original LipLites (shorter, rounder) and I really prefer those. I would not buy this particular one, but I might try another one in the future because it's not sticky and pretty cheap. But this can't make the Top 10 in lipgloss

No do not close the thread now, I want to find out about the Star Trek replicator machine and the time machine.
Is Ilford working on a time machine? They've already done color film after all. Wait, photography is a time machine. Done and done.
How about it Simon? Is Ilford working on a replicator, time machine, or TARDIS? I'm sure the secret labs there in Mobberly are working on something good. ;-)
I suppose that one could say that a film-image is a time-machine, but it takes the recorded instant in one direction only - forwards to the future.
Funny, when I look at a photograph I'm transported to the past.
Funny, I see it as #300. Not that it matters...
Strange.... Lol
Sent w/ iPhone using Tapatalk
Yep! Still #300 here. Maybe the replicator machine needs adjustment or something.
Oh I bet I know what is! You're on wireless, so it probably has to go a longer distance, so by the time it got to you it was #303! And maybe there's some sort of Doppler shift too...
Well, it is 300 here too.
I think that it depends on who is on ignore. That can change the count, I think.

Weighted constraints and gradient restrictions on place co-occurrence in Muna and Arabic

Get AccessAbstract
This paper documents a restriction against the co-occurrence of homorganic consonants in the root morphemes of Muna, a western Austronesian language, and compares the Muna pattern with the much-studied similar pattern in Arabic. As in Arabic, the restriction applies gradiently: its force depends on the place of articulation of the consonants involved, and on whether the homorganic consonants are similar in terms of other features. Muna differs from Arabic in the relative strengths of these other features in affecting co-occurrence rates of homorganic consonants. Along with the descriptions of these patterns, this paper presents phonological analyses in terms of weighted constraints, as in Harmonic Grammar. This account uses a gradual learning algorithm that acquires weights that reflect the relative frequency of different sequence types in the two languages. The resulting grammars assign the sequences acceptability scores that correlate with a measure of their attestedness in the lexicon.

Just and average mascara.
makes my long lashes look shorter and doesn't give them volume
Even wet and wilds mascara make my eyelashes look better
will not buy again
I don't understand why so many people like this mascara
I guess it could be used for layering but I am returning it
Im afraid to say that I was not totally satisfied with this product. I got it because of all the positive reviews ive read and thought that since this was a "volumizing" mascara it would thicken my lashes. I already have long semi-full lashes and LOVE my lashes being thick. This didnt volumize whatsoever. It legnthened, yes, the black was a deep rich black but there was absolutely no volume to it. They say the more coats you apply the thicker your lashes get but I dont have the time for that in the mornings. I have tried other mascaras that thickened much better than this product so I doubt very seriously i'll be buying thisagain.

This mascara has a BUILT IN SPOOLIE + CURLER I swear. Yes the brush is HUGE but it has a ton of tiny bristles alternating with the longer ones. These baby bristles really grab & separate each single strand of lash-making it appear like 2 instead. It does the job of a spoolie, which is spiral but has micro bristles poking out that do essentially the same job. I find this mascara curls & holds my lashes even when I don't curl them. I try to give my lashes a break & skip the extra strain of a curler on certain days but I can almost never tell the difference! So round of applause for doing the job of 3 items= curler + mascara + spoolie in ONE. Fabulous.
My only complaint-this mascara gives soo much added volume & LIFT to the roots of my lashes that it even appears as if I have tight lined-I guess its the way I wiggle the brush out, but this volume seems to disappear at the tip of my lashes :( My lashes look thick but short & stubby, it gives NO length; as a matter of fact it takes away from my natural length! Since your left only staring at the thick roots. Its so heart breaking; I fix the problem by applying CG Natureluxe mascara on top that reallyy adds my length back & gives even more. This combo makes people ask me if Im wearing falsies!
I would & really should give this a 5 star rating because of how multi-functional it is, but it wouldn't be fair since I have to use it in conjunction with another. I wish CG would formulate a brush between the 2 of these!
I love everything about this. Great volume, great length, decent at holding curl (which is as good as it ever gets with non-waterproof for me), great brush. And I have pretty crappy lashes. But this is amazing. It doesn't smudge or flake. It's a bit harder to take off than other mascaras I have (Maybelline and Rimmel) but it's still pretty easy with makeup remover. And there's 13.1ml of product in the tube which is most than most mascaras, which only have 7-8ml, sometimes 10, sometimes even 6. I will definitely buy this again. I also want to try the fusion and luxe! :)
More reviews by BeautifulConverse
Bold. Dark. Thick. & yes, lengthing (on me at least). I really like this mascara! This does clump sometimes, that's why I gave this product 4 lippies instead of 5. The packaging is fine, but why such a HUGE tube CG? I could understand for more product but the fat tube is just mostly plastic. I use this daily and it gives my small eyes (and eyes behind glasses) some drama! & the price? Couldn't go wrong. Yes, I'm repurchasing!
Update!(: - I've realized this is my HG! I've tried a few other volumizing mascaras but this one does the trick. Love, love, love! What I didn't realize was that all volumizing mascaras clump somtimes, and this clumped probably the least on me (And the rubber bristels combs the clumps out goregously!) <3 Again, Love!
Eh. Very basic mascara. I don't see any significant volumizing effects, but the formula is decent with no smudging or flaking. It doesn't apply that well because the formula is thick and the brush is unnecessarily huge. It's hard to get close to the lash line and the lower lashes. I prefer Hard Candy's Ginormous mascara. It's a better formula, better brush and same price.
Not a fan of CG products but tried this based on the love it gets on m/u board. I put it on as soon as I got out of the store and had smudges before I got home. I don't use wp b/c it's so hard to remove; but I did get the wp formula and will prob return it. Clumping, smudges, nothing going for it. I will try it again over my beloved Shiseido lash primer and will also wipe the wand first next time. H/e, d/s....Mayb the Falsies (not wp) is still my favorite mascara. EL Sumptuous is a close 2nd.
I really like Lash Blast Length but this has a very different formula. I can't even tell I have mascara on. It doesn't hold curl at all.. I just don't like this.
I have straight, downwards-pointing, thin asian lashes, so mascara is my desert-island makeup product. I've tried too many mascara that were immediatley promising, until I checked out my lashes a few minutes later to find the curl had disappeared. My other mascaras always promised volume and length, but didn't live up to it. THIS MASCARA DOES! It holds a curl *pretty* well, volumizes and lengthens. Best of all, it glides on clump-free and looks lush and natural even after two coats. The pigmentation is nice, I have the shade Black and am satisfied, though in certain lightings it picks up some hints of gray in my opinion. Overall a great mascara. I would definitely repurchase, which is really saying something considering I've never bought the same mascara twice.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Geithner Urges Debt Limit Increase, Warns of Default
Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said
lawmakers must raise the federal borrowing limit in the first quarter of
2011 or risk a default on U.S. debt and a loss of access to global
credit markets.
A failure to act would cause a**catastrophic damage to the economy,
potentially much more harmful than the effects of the financial crisis
of 2008 and 2009,a** Geithner said in a letter to Speaker of the House
John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and all other members of
Congress. Lawmakers should act before a default becomes a**imminenta**
because damage from even a short-term disruption a**would last for
The Treasury estimates the debt limit could be reached as early as March
31, and a**most likelya** between that date and May 16. The limit stands
at $14.29 trillion, leaving about $335 billion of a**headroom,a**
Geithnera**s letter said.
Boehner, a Republican from Ohio, said in a statement Congress needs to
pair a debt-limit increase with spending cuts and changes to a
a**brokena** budget process. He said the country cana**t afford default
or to a**recklesslya** keep borrowing.
a**The American people will not stand for such an increase unless it is
accompanied by meaningful action by the President and Congress to cut
spending and end the job-killing spending binge in Washington,a**
Boehner said.
Geithner said that even with the kinds of spending cuts under
discussion, like reverting to spending levels from fiscal year 2008,
a**the need to increase the debt limit would be delayed by no more than
two weeks.a**
Departmenta**s Toolkit
The Treasury chief also said his departmenta**s toolkit of emergency
measures, such as tapping some government retirement funds and
suspending some types of intergovernmental lending, would delay a debt
ceiling breach a**by several weeks.a** At that point, he said, a**no
remaining legal and prudent measuresa** would be available and the U.S.
would start to default.
Obama administration officials said they want to separate the debt limit
from other fiscal-policy concerns. In a briefing with reporters today, a
Treasury official predicted Congress would act to avert a crisis.
The debt limit should be resolved without being tied to long-term fiscal
issues including spending and taxes, the Treasury official told
reporters. Lawmakers will probably agree to raise the limit because of
the consequences of the idea that the U.S. could default, the official
Federal Deficit
The U.S. had a $1.3 trillion budget deficit in fiscal year 2010, which
ended Sept. 30. President Barack Obamaa**s debt- reduction panel failed
last month to agree on recommendations for ways to reduce the annual
deficit to about $400 billion in 2015.
Lawmakers are likely to wait a**until the last minutea** to pull back
from the brink, said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Pierpont
Securities LLC. He predicted the House would seek to win concessions
from the Senate and the White House by using the debt ceiling as
a**Usually, the debt limit hike is more of a rhetorical than substantive
debate, a painful vote that has to be done but nothing more than an
opportunity to score political points,a** Stanley said in an e-mail to
Bloomberg. a**This time, obtaining passage will be more complicated
because it will be tied to substantive budget policy.a**
The White House declined to respond directly to Boehnera**s statement
and pointed to comments by spokesman Robert Gibbs today on MSNBCa**s
a**The Daily Rundown.a**
a**Adult Conversationa**
Last year, Boehner said the government is a**going to have an adult
conversation around the debt ceiling,a** Gibbs said on the program,
according to a transcript. a**Wea**re going to have to -- because
Republicans and I think the speaker understands, hea**s got
Gibbs wouldna**t rule out linking a debt-ceiling vote to restrictions on
spending, saying the conversation a**is going to start before and end
well after the debt-ceiling vote about how we get our fiscal house in
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said a short-term debt ceiling
increase may be part of the GOP strategy to force spending control.
Regarding Obama, he said ita**s a**his choicea** if he were to refuse to
sign a bill that contained a debt-limit increase, creating the risk of
default. He said lawmakers and the administration can negotiate how long
any debt ceiling increase might last.
Spending Controls
a**Do I want to see this nation default? No,a** Ryan said at a National
Press Club event today. a**I want to see that we get substantial
spending cuts and spending controls in exchange for raising the debt
Ryan said he would not support a a**nakeda** debt limit increase.
a**Nobody likes brinksmanship, but what we really dona**t like is
runaway spending thata**s threatening this country,a** he said.
Geithnera**s letter tackles Republican a**misconceptionsa** that the
debt ceiling is tied to spending cuts, said Stan Collender, a former
congressional budget aide and now managing director of Qorvis
Communications in Washington. a**The Treasury Secretary is saying in
this letter that, when it comes to the debt ceiling, the GOP is wearing
no clothes,a** he said.

I like their records but as a "live" band they suck. 95% of what you hear is pre recorded and you have four guys struggling to sound and look "live" Saw them on the previous tour and left half way through the show and I don't do that usually.
