Developed for Steve Lukather of Toto, the SAV is an overwound pickup with hidden Alnico 5 pole pieces for tons of output and punchy attack.
EMG has worked with Steve Lukather for over 13 years now and the latest result is the EMG-SAV. Steve's playing style and writing have produced several Grammy's that EMG is proud to be a part of. They'll develop just about anything Steve wants (within reason) and that's just what happened when Ernie Ball was revising the "Luke" Guitar. Steve along with Dudley Gimpel from Ernie Ball figured they'd try some new things on the Luke. Dudley told EMG they were trying guitar pickups from other makers and they had to deliver something great to stay in contention.
EMG added their own special touch to the SAV. The windings were increased for a meatier tone and they hid away the pole pieces for a more uniform look to the instrument (see the SL20 Pro-Series). Steve has always played a specially overwound SA Pickup, so EMG used the original preamp from the SA pickup with flat Alnico 5 pole pieces hidden under the cover cap. The SA preamp gives the SAV its classic EMG sound while the flat poles put the pickup closer to the strings for more output and a punchier attack. The current EB Luke Guitar uses the model spec'd by Steve EMG calls the SLV. Steve's still with EMG: once an EMG Player, always an EMG Player.
Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect cables (3), prewired control set including volume, 2 tone controls, 5-way selection switch (black & white knobs), output jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.

OPV consists of live attenuated viruses that multiply in the intestinal tract and that can revert to a more virulent form, causing disease. A vaccine recipient excretes live virus for several weeks, and recipients or contacts may become infected with the virus.
Since the 1960s there have been about 100 studies reporting individual cases, case series, and national surveillances of vaccine-associated cases of paralytic poliomyelitis. Case definitions have been well developed by the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO); a case of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis is said to occur in recipients if the onset of the disease begins 7-30 days postvaccination and is said to occur in contacts of vaccine recipients if the onset of the disease begins 7-60 days after a recipient's vaccination. Laboratory tests can identify the strain of the infecting virus as a wild-type or vaccine strain of poliovirus. The cases described above in the section History of Suspected Association are typical of those that followed in the 1970s and 1980s.
WHO and CDC have used standard definitions of cases of paralytic poliomyelitis for almost 30 years, and many nations have implemented polio surveillance systems to monitor their polio immunization programs. Table 7-2 summarizes national data from the United States, England and Wales, Belgium, Spain, Romania, Hungary, Italy, and northern Greece. Despite

U.S. Coins:
Alternative Scenarios Suggest Different Benefits and Losses from Replacing the $1 Note with a $1 Coin
GAO-12-307: Published: Feb 15, 2012. Publicly Released: Feb 15, 2012.

What GAO Found
According to GAOs updated analysis, replacing the $1 note with a $1 coin would provide a net benefit to the government of approximately $4.4 billion over 30 years, or an average of about $146 million per year. The overall net benefit was due solely to increased seigniorage and not to reduced production costs. This estimate differs from GAOs 2011 estimate because it considers recent efficiency improvements in note processing that have extended the expected life of the $1 note and other updated information. GAOs estimate covered 30 years to be consistent with previous GAO analyses and because that period roughly coincides with the life expectancy of the $1 coin.
Using the same model and assumptions used for its 30-year analysis, GAO found that replacing the $1 note with a $1 coin would provide a net loss to the government of about $531 million in the first 10 years, or an average of about $53 million per year. The cost of producing a large number of coins necessary for the transition would result in a net loss in 6 of the first 7 years. In the eighth year, and for the remaining 2 years, this situation is reversed: the interest savings outweigh the production costs and the net benefits would be positive. Overall, the net loss over 10 years compared with the net benefit GAO estimated over 30 years would occur because of large costs in the first few years to produce the initial supply of $1 coins.
If the interest savings due to increased seigniorage are excluded from the analysis, the government would incur a total net loss of about $1.8 billion over 10 years, or an average of $179 million per year. With no interest savings to offset the costs of coin production, net losses would be incurred in 9 of the 10 years. As in the preceding scenario, these production costs are greatest in the first 4 years, when a large number of coins need to be produced for the transition. Although this scenario suggests there are no net benefits of switching to a $1 coin, GAO believes that excluding the interest savings related to seigniorage omits a monetary benefit to the government.
If it is assumed that each $1 note will be replaced by 1, rather than 1.5, $1 coins, the government would incur a total net loss of about $582 million over 10 years, or an average of about $58 million per year. The costs of producing coins for the transition dominate in the first 3 years, followed by benefits in the fourth year due to the overproduction of coins during the transition. In this scenario, net losses continue to accrue through year 10. Net losses in this scenario are smaller than in the preceding scenario because fewer coins are produced and coin production costs are lower, but the one-to-one replacement does not provide increased seigniorage. Moreover, this lower replacement ratio is not consistent with the experiences of other countries that have switched from notes to coins and is likely to produce too few coins to meet demand, which could be disruptive to the economy.
In commenting on a draft of this report, the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department noted that GAOs 30-year estimate does not consider the cost to the private sector or environmental impacts. GAO agrees that such costs and impacts are important considerations, but GAO identified no quantitative estimates that could be evaluated or modeled.
Why GAO Did This Study
In March 2011, GAO reported that replacing the $1 note with a $1 coin would provide a net benefit to the government of about $5.5 billion over 30 years, or an average of about $184 million per year. This benefit, which GAO estimated using an economic model based on a set of assumptions, was entirely attributable to seigniorage, a term defined as the difference between the cost of producing coins or notes and their face value. Seigniorage reduces government borrowing and interest costs, resulting in a financial benefit to the government. As GAO noted, the estimated net benefit could increase or decrease with changes in the assumptions.
GAO was asked to provide additional details on its 2011 analysis. Accordingly, GAO (1) updated its analysis to account for recent changes in note processing, among other things, and based on this update determined (2) the specific benefit or loss to the government for each of the first 10 years of its 30-year analysis; (3) the net benefit or loss to the government over 10 years if the interest savings due to seigniorage are excluded from the analysis; and (4) the net benefit or loss to the government over 10 years if it is assumed that each note will be replaced by 1 coin, rather than 1.5 coins, as GAO assumed in its 30-year analysis.
GAO used the economic model it developed for its 2011 report, updated certain factors, and varied the assumptions for seigniorage and the replacement ratio of coins to notes as requested.

A "must have" book for all parents!, June 15, 2001 By Gaye Ward (Brisbane, Queensland Australia) This review is from: Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging, and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate (Paperback) Parenting would have to be the most difficult (yet rewarding!) job in the world. Of all parenting challenges, discipline is probably at the top of most parents' list. Every parent wants to raise kids who are responsible and caring people. But HOW on earth are we supposed to achieve this? Often the only blueprint we have for discipline comes from our own parents, and involves methods such as spanking and shouting, which are neither effective nor respectful to children.Thank goodness for Elizabeth Pantley and her wonderful book Kid Cooperation: How to stop yelling, nagging and pleading and get kids to cooperate! I must admit to being somewhat sceptical when I come across claims such as those in this book title. "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is", rings in my ears. However, I am DELIGHTED to be able to say that this book not only lives up these claims but MORE.In Kid Cooperation, Elizabeth Pantley shares parenting skills that are LIFE CHANGING!

If you are a parent and tired of yelling and nagging your kids to do what you want them to do or not to do ~~ this book is for you.Most parenting books tend to be on the dry side ~~ more factual than helpful.

I wanted to stop yelling, nagging, pleading and get my kids to cooperate. Who wouldn't? I have three children and have been using the many ideas in this book since I purchased it a year and a half ago. Each time I read it - either cover to cover or just glancing over the great reminder pages - I gain more useful ideas to help me be a successful parent. As my children enter new stages in their life and new parenting challenges are faced, I have the confidence to tackle them head-on by using the techniques that I have learned in this book. I have recommended Kid Cooperation to all my friends and I highly recommend it to you as well. I can't imagine what my family life would be like if it wasn't for this first rate parenting book. It is a must have for every parent.

Amalia Rodrigues had one of the great voices of the 20th Century, and looms large in the history of fado, Portugal's most vital and important musical form. Her voice is as strong and pure as Patsy Cline's, and as dramatic and full of pathos as Maria Callas's. She recorded so many records from 1945 until the late 1990s, providing lots to choose from in creating the second disc in this Queen of Fado series. The songs on the CD are all of great simplicity and power, and she is more than ably accompanied by her long-time guitarist partner Santos Moreira, along with Domingos Camarinha, Raul Nery or Jaime Santos playing guitarra portuguesa. There are also a few songs with orchestral accompaniment, which apparently caused quite a stir when they were first recorded. That fuss reminded me of the controversy when Bob Dylan first went electric. In the end, though, it's all about the music. And the voice.
ARC Music continues to enrich the musical life of the world through their recording and licensing of important music from around the globe. This disc, endorsed by the Foundation Amalia Rodrigues, has my enthusiastic endorsement as well.

Weighty Matters Info
Weighty Matters used to be just a chronicle of my weight loss efforts, which was extremely frustrating because I couldn't maintain it--both the blog and the weight loss thing. So instead, I have transformed my thinking (and this blog) so that it will not only deal with weight loss but also with all important health issues that we face. This is now my journal not just to lose weight but to keep it and to maintain good health. Hence, the name of this blog still applies. After all, all health issues are weighty matters.Subscribe via Email

Curvy Seems to be Good for me
I have also tried slimming coffees. Yeah, I know, I am desperate. But not desperate enough to get off my bum and start working out. Maybe I should really re-think the whole thing and change my mindset about weight loss. … Continue reading

Feldman spot on as Rangers edge Rays
ARLINGTON -- Scott Feldman looked like the pitcher who won 17 games in 2009. Josh Hamilton looked like the reigning MVP. David Murphy played like he did down the stretch of 2010, not the opening months of 2011.
This is what Ron Washington has been waiting for. And, even though it was only one game, the Texas Rangers showed what they are capable of in a 2-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night at Rangers Ballpark.
With the victory, the Rangers maintain at least a 31/2-game lead over the Los Angeles Angels in the American League West.
"Feldman got an opportunity tonight, and he stood tall," Washington said. "He really did. And we've been waiting for Hamilton. We've been waiting for Murphy. Everything those guys gave us, and everyone else on that field, we needed."
Feldman, making his first start since Sept. 28, 2010, had his sinker working better than it had in a while. He also kept his breaking pitch, cutter and changeup down in the zone.
Feldman induced 12 ground ball outs and four strikeouts. The other two outs came when Yorvit Torrealba gunned down two runners trying to steal second.
"I guess 2009 was the last time I felt like I was contributing on a regular basis," Feldman said. "Pitching in blowout games compared to this is a little better feeling, and I did what I was supposed to do."
Feldman made a spot start in place of Matt Harrison, who was skipped in the rotation to give him extra rest. But Washington downplayed any talk of Feldman potentially replacing Harrison, saying Feldman would be headed back to the bullpen. But that doesn't take anything away from Feldman's night.
He retired the first eight batters he faced before giving up a single to Sean Rodriguez with two outs in the third. Feldman allowed the leadoff man to reach in the fifth and sixth, but they were quickly retired when Torrealba caught both stealing.
Feldman was done after the sixth but earned his first victory as a starter since June 18, 2010, at Houston courtesy of a monster home run by Hamilton.
Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson matched Feldman through five scoreless innings but ran into trouble in the sixth. Hamilton launched the first pitch he saw 449 feet into the home run porch in right field to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead.
"I thought it was going to be the first time I'd seen a ball hit off the roof up there," Feldman said, smiling. 'He's a beast."
The Rangers added another run in the sixth when Murphy singled in Michael Young. The two runs were enough for Feldman and the Rangers' bullpen.
Neftali Feliz picked up his 26th save but made it interesting.
He allowed the first two hitters to reach but got Evan Longoria -- the go-ahead run -- to ground into an inning-ending double play. Feliz threw a 1-2 slider to end it, a pitch that he would have rarely thrown in that situation before.
"I threw four straight fastballs and was trying to throw something low and away," Feliz said. "My slider is the best pitch to do it. I was trying to get a strikeout or a ground ball, and the defense got the job done."

Shreveport (KMSS) — A Shreveport woman was jailed following a domestic dispute which sent a man to the hospital early Sunday morning.
According to Shreveport Police Department Public Information Officer Cpl. Marcus Hines, shortly after 5:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 4200 block of Greenwood Lane on a report of battery. When police made it to the scene, they found Brian Green, 29, suffering a severe cut to the neck. He was rushed to a local hospital for treatment of injuries initially considered to be life threatening. Following surgery, Green was listed in serious but stable condition.
Investigators were sent to the scene to assist with incident. Authorities located and detained Shenikia Hall, 20, who was found at a nearby apartment. Authorities discovered information and evidence linking Hall to the stabbing.
Police said Hall and Green were involved in a dating relationship when Hall reportedly became upset after she saw Green talking to another woman. Hall reportedly made threats to physically harm Green. It is believed Green was stabbed by Hall after he arrived back at an apartment which he and Hall shared.
Hall was booked into the Shreveport City Jail on a single charge of attempted second-degree murder. The case remains under investigation.

"Save Splash" Computer Game Raises Kid's Water Conservation Awareness
The latest game on the Web doesn't feature zombies, explosions or car crashes, just a young girl trying to save her community's water one drop at a time. "Save Splash the Raindrop" was launched by New Jersey American Water to make kids more aware of the need for us all to be more water conservation minded. The game, which can be found at www.savesplash.com, allows players to move a young girl in rain gear back and forth across the screen, catching Splash the Waterdrop as he falls out of the clouds at different intervals and speeds. At the conclusion of each of the game's three levels, players may print a certificate naming them a "water conservation hero."
"While we do a lot to educate our customers about the importance of conserving water, we know that these attitudes and behaviors about our environment form when we are children," said the company's Vice President for Operations Stephen Schmitt. "Our Save Splash the Raindrop game encourages kids to save water and have some fun at the same time."
New Jersey American Water, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), is the largest investor-owned water utility in the state, providing high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately 2.5 million people. Founded in 1886, American Water is the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company. With headquarters in Voorhees, N.J., the company employs more than 7,000 dedicated professionals who provide drinking water, wastewater and other related services to approximately 15 million people in more than 30 states, as well as parts of Canada.

Uh, hello?Submitted by Duh (not verified) on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 5:05pm.
So if you realize that you might get hassled for using profanity then WHAT were you complaining about with this irrelevant point? No, I think you got treated exactly how any other stupid tourist not from this area should be treated. Whatever was going on was a police matter and they didn't need some nosy gawker's help at the scene. I guess you still haven't learned your lesson on when to MOVE ON. Go ahead. Resist getting the last word in. It will not make you any less wrong. »

That's what his name used to be. It's funny how much emphasis we put on a name "fitting" someone – whether it's a person or a four legged companion.
I knew that Moby's name used to be Logan, but had forgotten about it until it came up in conversation this week. When his Emily and Daniel were his foster parents, they decided that he needed to a new start, including a new name. One that would make him realize he was an awesome dog and that he could conjure up all his braves and find his perfect family. That name? Moby Wonderdog.
When we adopted him, we kept Moby but dropped the Wonderdog. It's not that we didn't like that name – we just decided that his middle name would be Hawkins – in honor the his foster family. Of course, he would take on our last name. So his new name would be Moby Hawkins Loehle. It fit him well. Of course, once he came to live with us, we realized that "Moby" and "Boney" sounded an awful lot alike! It can make for a pretty confusing conversation sometimes.
Boney – whose full name is Bonaparte Nelson Loehle – was named after Napoleon Bonaparte. It fits him well as he has is known to be bossy for his size. Napoleon's nickname was also Boney – and he had pugs. So it was the perfect fit. His dad didn't give him a middle name when he got him (gasp!) so I gave him my maiden name as his middle name. It seemed fitting and kind of made my becoming his mom official.
My first dog, and the only dog I had as a child was a poodle. His name – Lexington Christian Michels. He came with Lexington (I think he had some super fancy name from the breeder, but I honestly don't remember). Christian and Michels were family names.
I had only recently gotten Brutus when Lexington crossed the bridge – so I hadn't given him a middle name yet. It seemed fitting to pass the name down, so he became Brutus Lexington Nelson – until I married Joe and he adopted Brutus and his sister, giving them his last name as well. Dixie was never meant to be Dixie. I originally named her Hannah Grace. It didn't seem to fit her – so it was changed to Dixie Hannah.
Do your dogs have middle names? Do you give a lot of thought to giving them names or did they come with name?

Nelson Mandela Dies at 95
R.I.P. Madiba"Our nation has lost his greatest son. Our people have lost its father," said South African President Jacob Zuma.
Nelson Mandela, the beloved South African anti-apartheid politician who became his country's first black president and inspired millions of freedom lovers worldwide, died Thursday at his home at the age of 95. "Our nation has lost his greatest son. Our people have lost its father," said South African President Jacob Zuma after the passing of the larger-than-life figure who spent 27 years in jail defending his beliefs.
In his autobiography, "Long Walk to Freedom," he wrote: "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite," and his words have been a source of hope for people around the world. R.I.P. Madiba; you will not be forgotten.

break at the poll I was thinking about it and my first post about being on the bit, I didn't get the answers i was looking for, I was talking about breaking at the poll, but I said getting your horse on the bit:oops: So I have 3 questions: 1.) Is breaking at the poll essential during beginning stages of training?(she knows basics) 2.)Will it come naturally through getting more impulsion, or do you have to have your horse on the vertical to get the impulsion? 3.)how should I go about teaching it, because of some previous posts about being on the bit made me weary that the trainer at my barn is teaching me to do it wrong. 4.)Should I be teaching her to give to the bit vertically? She say's I should hold until she gives and then release, to get her to give to the bit, and this has sounded right to me until I started reading up on dressage, and it confused me because it sounds like the horses frame should come naturally through impulsion, but I may have misunderstood, as it may have been talking about through the body (i.e. rounding of the back..etc.) ONLY. |
It's hard to get impulsion with out softness through the poll but breaking at the poll doesn't mean you have impulsion. You are on the right track with the advice from your trainer. |
I know that it doesn't create it, but that's what i meant if it would help with achieving it. Thanks :D |
My trainer tauht me to 'push' rena forward, then supple with the reins a little to encourage him to soften his jaw. because sometimes when you push them forward, they brace with their back which gets them to clamp with their jaw. thats how i got my horse relaxed and swingy through her back. thats how i get them over the back, which i think is the same thing that yoru trainer calls breaking at the poll :) |
Again, the focus is not on the head, but on the hindquarter. Quote:
First forward, then the training scale: rhythm/relaxation, suppleness, CONTACT (that's 'acceptance of contact, NOT 'on the bit'), impulsion, straightness, collection. The head WILL be where it needs to be if you follow the training scale. Quote:
how do i get her to seek contact? |
ahh! everything is so confusing.. these are supposed to be things to get her to work over her back and it seems like you need to get them to work over their back to do these things. Okay, so starting from scratch.. what should be the first thing i work on to engage her hind end? |
First forward, then the training scale: rhythm/relaxation, suppleness, CONTACT (that's 'acceptance of contact, NOT 'on the bit'), impulsion, straightness, collection. |
thanks everybody! she accepts contact of all my aids so i THINK i have that down. if she's forward, does it just mean she goes when i ask her to? all of the rest will come through exercises? I hope you guys don't mind all of my questions, it's just i'm trying to get started in dressage and I want to have a full grasp of everything before I do really. since it's winter I figured it would be a good time to learn everything before I really start training for it this spring. |

The second in the Police Interrogation series.
Sometimes complete cooperation isn't good enough.
Special thanks to my pal Kyle Frias for lending his voice as the interrogator. It literally made the entire flash. Without him, this would not be worth a glance.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i'm out of here *puff*
Going to be frank here, Kyle, you were awesome, but a little more work putting into the interrogation and it would be evan more epic ;)
Ohh and the exit was just priceless!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hope they won't get after ya for making fun o cops
It was a bit on the short side, but for crying out loud, this was completely hilarious!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Now that was more hilarious than the first interrogation.
I am so sure I'm gonna enjoy this series.

I got rear-ended by aSubmitted by Guest2020 on Mon, 09/16/2013 - 6:52pm.
I got rear-ended by a sixteen year old a few years ago. Made the mistake of hiring an attorney that ended up sympathizing with her. Never mind the fact that I have been in pain every day since. »
