Sevierville police seek theft suspect
The Sevierville Police Department is requesting the assistance of the public to identify a person suspected of stealing and using several credit cards.
According to Detective D. Milliron, a purse containing credit and debit cards, checks and a small amount of cash was allegedly stolen from the 83-year old victim at the Belk department store in Sevierville on July 4, 2013. According to the victim, she had set her purse down near the counter as she was signing her check-out receipt and left the store, forgetting her purse. A short time later she realized her purse was missing; when she reported the missing credit and debit cards, she learned that approximately $3,500.00 in charges had been made at multiple stores in Sevierville and Newport.
The attached suspect photos were retrieved from security equipment at Walgreens in Sevierville, one of the locations where a stolen card was used. The suspect appears to be a white female, approximately 20-25 years old and 5'7" in height. She was wearing an orange shirt, black pants and glasses.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of this suspect is requested to contact Detective Milliron at 865-453-5506.

Preparing process for polyvinyl chloride material used for extrusion molding suitable to high speed extrusion includes a step of dry blending a blend prepared by blending polyvinyl chloride (polymer) compounded with plasticizers stabilizers and other auxiliary materials while controlling the temperature for the blend within a range from room temperature to 165° C. and a step of kneading and pelletizing the blend after the dry blending step while controlling the temperature for the blend to lower than 165° C. The polyvinyl chloride used is a suspension polymerizate capable of satisfying the condition that the retention ratio on 80 mesh screen (ASTM: E11-58T) is less than 1%.
1. A process for preparing polyvinyl chloride material used for extrusion molding comprising:
(1) a step of dry blending a blend prepared by blending polyvinyl chloride (polymer) with plasticizers and stabilizers, and optionally with colorants while controlling a temperature for the blend within a range from 20° C. to 165° C., and
(2) a step of kneading and pelletizing the blend after the dry blending step while controlling a temperature for the blend within a range from 120° C. to 165° C., in which the polyvinyl chloride used is a product by suspension polymerization capable of satisfying the condition that the retention ratio on 80 mesh screen (ASTM: E11-58T) is less than 1%.
2. A process for preparing polyvinyl chloride material used for extrusion molding as defined in claim 1, wherein the temperature for the blend in the dry blending step is controlled within a range from 80° C. to 110° C.
The present invention concerns a process for preparing polyvinyl chloride (hereinafter simply referred to as PVC) material used for extrusion molding from a blend prepared by blending PVC material with plasticizers, stabilizers and other auxiliary materials and subjecting the blend to a dry blending step, a kneading step and a pelletization step successively.
The preparing process according to the present invention is a method suitable to the preparation of PVC material for extrusion molding products such as protector moldings and trims for use on automobiles, the appearance of which is considered important.
In the case of preparing the PVC material used for extrusion molding as described above, PVC (polymer) used so far has been synthesized by suspension polymerization and has a grain size corresponding to the retention rate on 80 mesh screen (ASTM; E11-58T) of about 5%.
In the dry blending step, a blend prepared by adding auxiliary materials such as plasticizers, stabilizers and colorants to PVC is subjected to blending under high shearing force at a temperature (80°-110° C.) much lower than the usual melting point (170° C.) of PVC. The mixer used in this step is usually a high speed mixer such as a Henschel mixer or a super mixer.
In the kneading step and the pelletization step, the dry blend obtained as above (powdery product) has been kneaded in a single axis or a two-axis extruder, extruded as a strand of round or square cross section and then cut into an appropriate length by a cutter (rotary blade). The temperature in each of the kneading and pelletization steps is usually at 40°-100° C. on the material charging portion and at 170°-200° C. on the extrusion portion of an extruder.
In the case of extrusion molding at a high speed by using the PVC material produced as described above, irregularity (defective appearance) tends to occur at the surface of the extrusion molding product.
In this case, the surface irregularity as described above can substantially be eliminated from the extrusion molding product if the molding material is extruded after it has been kneaded and melted in a cylinder for a sufficient period of time, that is, if the extrusion speed is reduced. However, the reduction of the extrusion speed is not desired in view of the productivity.
In this case, the ratio of reducing the extrusion speed is within a range from 1 to 7 based on the speed for the conventional high speed extrusion being assumed as 10.
The present invention concerns a process for preparing PVC material used for extrusion molding from a blending product prepared by blending PVC obtained with suspension polymerization with other auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and stabilizers, by subjecting the blend successively to a dry blending step, a kneading step and a pelletization step, in which PVC of a grain size with the retention rate on 80 mesh screen (ASTM; E11-58T) of not more than 1% is used and the temperature for the blend is controlled from the room temperature up to 165° C. in each of the steps of the dry blending, kneading and pelletization.
The PVC material prepared by the process as described above results in no substantial irregularity at the surface of the extrusion molding product that would otherwise lead to the undesired appearance even if the extrusion molding is conducted at high speed.
FIG. 1 is a step chart illustrating one embodiment for the preparation process of the PVC material and
FIG. 2 is a schematic view for an extrusion molding machine having a rotary blade used for the kneading and pelletization steps.
The present invention is to be described more specifically. In the explanation, "parts" indicating the blending unit mean "parts by weight".
(1) In the present invention, the PVC (polymer) used is synthesized by suspension polymerization and has a grain size with the retention rate on 80 mesh screen (ASTM: E11-58T) of not more than 1%. If the retention rate on the screen exceeds 1%, particles are less melted and not-melted particles remain as lumps tending to cause irregularity uneven on the surface of the extrusion molding product. In addition, the emulsion-polymerized PVC is poor in the heat stability and to be discolored easily.
(2) The dry blending step is conducted with controlling the agitation speed, the tank temperature etc. such that the blending temperature to lower than 165° C., usually, 80°-110° C. as in the usual case for the blending product prepared by adding and blending auxiliary materials such as plasticizers, stabilizers and colorants to PVC.
The blending amount of the plasticizer, in the case of obtaining a semi-regid PVC molding product such as a protector molding is from 20 to 50 parts based on 100 parts of PVC. As plasticizers, those customary phthalic acid derivatives can be exemplified such aas dioctyl phthalate (DOP), diiso-octyl phthalate (DIOP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and didecyl phthalate (DDP). If necessary, epoxy derivatives (epoxydized soybean oil), adipic acid derivatives, sebasic acid derivatives, phosphoric acid derivatives, etc. may be used in combinations or alone. In addition, customary stabilizers such as metal soaps, inorganic salts (barium and lead salts), organotin compounds, epoxy compounds (usually used together with metal stabilizers), etc. can be mentioned. The colorants can be properly selected and used among pigments (both organic and inorganic) and dyes.
The mixer used herein is a high speed mixer such as a Henschel mixer or a super mixer in the same manner as before.
(3) In the kneading step and the pelletizing step, the dry blending product (powdery) obtained as described above is extruded by using a single axis or two-axis extruder as shown in FIG. 2 into a strand of round or square cross section after kneading and then cut into an appropriate length with a cutting machine (rotary blade 7).
In this case, the temperature for the material (blend) is controlled such that it is lower than 165° C., preferably, lower than 155° C. after the charging of the dry blend to the hopper 3 in the heat extrusion cylinder 1 and before the extrusion through the die 5 of an extrusion molding machine. The control is depended on a compulsory air cooling chamber disposed in the cylinder.
The PVC material prepared by the process as described above scarcely results in irregularity which would otherwise lead to undesirable appearance on the surface of the extrusion molding product even if the material is extrusion molded at a usual speed.
It is considered that undesirable appearance does not occur, because since each of the steps for the dry blending, kneading and pelletization upon production of the PVC material is conducted at a temperature lower than 5° C. or more than the melting temperature of PVC (170° C.), rearrangement of the polymer molecules is less conducted, that is, the PVC material is formed in the easily melted state and, accordingly, the plasticization efficiency is satisfactory.
In the prior art, temperature for the blending product becomes higher than the melting point of the PVC at least in the kneading step, causing re-arrangement of the polymer molecules more liably, that is, resulting in less melted state, which makes the plasticization efficiency not satisfactory upon extrusion molding.
It is further considered that since the grain size of the distribution of the PVC is made stringent, satisfactory kneading can be conducted even if the temperature is not higher than the melting point of the PVC also in the kneading step, and the heat transmission efficiency to the PVC material is satisfactory during extrusion molding. It is considered that the plasticization efficiency can be made satisfactory during extrusion molding also in view of the above.
Examples and comparative examples conducted for demonstrating the effects of the present invention are to be explained next.
(1) Using each of the polymers I, II shown in Table 1, the blend of the following preparation was applied with blending in a Henschel mixer (300 liter volume) till the temperature of the material was elevated to 100° C. (about 10 min) then cooled to the room temperature and subjected to dry blending.
______________________________________ Blending Preparation______________________________________PVC 100 partsDOP 40 partsBa-- Zn type liquid stabilizer 3 partsEpoxydized soybean oil 3 partsPigment (carbon black) 1 part______________________________________
(2) The dry blend was charged in a single axis extruder (L/D=23, D=20 mm φ, compression ratio=3.0, screw revolution speed=70 rpm), kneaded under the conditions (refer to FIG. 2) shown in Table 3, extruded into a strand shape of a round cross section (3 mm φ) and then cut into about 3 mm length with a rotary blade into pellets. The kneading condition are shown in Table 2.
(3) Each of the PVC materials obtained as described above was charged into a single axis extruder (L/D=23, D=40 mm φ, compression ratio=2.6, screw revolution speed=38 rpm), extruded under the conditions of a cylinder temperature from 100° to 150° C. and a die temperature at 160° C., into a tape-like product (rectangular cross section: 10×2 mm t, extrusion length: 1 m) and the presence or absence of surface unevenness (large: 1-10 mm φ, small: 0.05-1 mm φ) was observed visually. The results are shown in Table 3.
From the result of Table 3, the PVC material in each of the examples prepared under the conditions capable of satisfying the constituent factors of the present invention caused no irregularity at the surface of extrusion products, whereas surface irregularity occurred even when the kneading conditions were within the range of the present invention if the grain size distribution of the polymer used is coarse and does not meet the constituents of the present invention (comparative examples 3-5). In addition, if the kneading condition is higher than 165° C., that not satisfying the requirements in the present invention, surface irregularity also occurred at the surface of extrusion molding product (Comparative Examples 1-2) even when the polymer used could satisfy the conditions in the present invention.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2007 The San Diego Padres Major League Baseball team kicked off Fleet Week San Diego 2007 with a game honoring members of the city's military community.
"The Padres understand and have great respect for what our dedicated men and women in uniform do for our country day in and day out," said Jack Ensch, a retired Navy captain and the team's director of military marketing. "Recognizing our wounded warriors and military families at a venue of America's pastime is a tangible way we that can show our appreciation for their service and the sacrifices they endure in order to serve their country.
"At the Padres, we believe that there is nothing more American than service to one's country and baseball," he added.
As further proof of the team's belief, six wounded Marines recovering at Naval Medical Center San Diego were treated to batting practice and a "meet and greet" with some of the Padres' players at the Sept. 17 game. The Marines, hosted by Bank of America, an official sponsor of Fleet Week festivities, also were honored on the field during a pre-game ceremony.
"Bank of America is proud to have hosted the wounded Marines from Balboa naval hospital at Monday night's game," said Jolene Davidson, Bank of America's premiere market manager for South San Diego. "Just being able to see the smiles on their faces as they stood on the field made it all worthwhile. They are truly American heroes."
The bank also donated 3,000 tickets to San Diego servicemembers for the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Marine Maj. Gen. Terry Robling, commander of 3rd Marine Air Wing at Miramar Air Station, threw out the ceremonial first pitch as his unit's band played the Marine Hymn and the national anthem.
The Padres, which became corporate supporters of the Defense Department's America Supports You program on July 4, got Fleet Week off to a good start with a 3-0 win over the Pirates.
America Supports You connects citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad.
This year's Fleet Week San Diego activities will continue through Oct. 27 with events for servicemembers and their families in and around the San Diego area. Fleet Week San Diego was created to honor San Diego's military servicemembers.

Love it!
Although I haven't tried this product with different brands of shampoos or other hair products, I know it works great with the other Yarok products I purchased and now use exclusively. I use a little of this mousse after combing through my towel-dried hair, and then blow-dry. My hair has gotten several compliments since I started using Yarok products. I love the body and fullness they give my hair.

It's that time of year again....Crunch Time. The computers in library classrooms 235A and 235C are available. The classrooms are located in the Infusion area, on the 2nd (main) floor. Good luck on finals!
WHy don't you add some outlets on each floor, it might help.
Meg Scharf, firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your comment, and for bringing forward an important need for UCF Main Library users. The Library is trying to find solutions to the need for more electrical power outlets for those who use laptops or handheld devices. The availability of 235A and 235C during these busy weeks should help more students find workstations and power in the Main Library building.
We need a microwave aswell. Is there one anywhere?
Joe, I made a few phone calls around campus to see if there is a microwave available for the public to use. I was unable to find one.
The main library houses one food and beverage vendor in the Infusion area, Java City. At this time, there is no space to create a kitchen or food service areas in the building. Additionally, there is no staff available to maintain such an area.
You might forward your suggestion to Student Government, to see if they might consider setting up some kitchen facilities for students.

Here's a quick demo video:
Step 1: Supplies

1 Arduino or clone
1 5v Relay Switch
1 NPN Transistor
1 Diode
1 10k ohm Resistor
A Soldering Iron
1 Breadboard
Duct tape
Step 2: Making the first (and only) cut
Begin by marking the region of the gun you are going to cut. (See second picture)
Then use what ever method you would like to cut along the line to the spot where both sides of the gun meet. There are many methods of doing this. I just used a saw. Choose you method of cutting, and slice it down the line.
Step 3: Open it up
In terms of books, I would suggest the Arduino Cookbook, Getting Started with Arduino, and Programming Arduino. While these books are helpful, you can actually learn easily without any books. For me, owning the Sparkfun Inventor's Kit was enough to be able to learn everything I needed. The way I learned best was trying to come up with a project far beyond my skill level, and then searching the Internet to learn how to do each component of it. There is a lot of free information out there, I don't think you're going to have any trouble learning the world of Arduino, even if you didn't get any books.
I wish you luck!
If you ever want to upgrade it, here is a nice one:
I've always fantacised about something like this.
Can you also include a feature to obscure my license plate and retract the gun to a hidden configuration.
I promise to only use this when appropriate.

On a 73-degree day, a steady stream of people walked around Waterfront Park in downtown Charleston where, at the brink of summer, children began wetting their feet in the fountain.
Others sat scanning their smartphones while sitting on some of the benches lining the park's best view of the harbor. In a few hours' time, a few others logged on to their laptops in the park to enjoy its newest feature — free wireless Internet access. The Wi-Fi feature is a city of Charleston venture in partnership with Google and Charleston Digital Corridor.
The free Wi-Fi was previously only available at Marion Square. The free access was turned on in Waterfront Park three days ago and already 150 people have used it, according to Ernest Andrade, CEO of the Charleston Digital Corridor.
When asked what other gathering place he'd like to see get Wi-Fi, Mayor Joe Riley said perhaps King Street, where locals and tourists roam the sidewalks daily. Andrade said the next natural move could be The Battery with the amount of foot traffic it has.
Five small black boxes, wireless access points, now adorn the iconic light posts at Waterfront Park.
"Having this Wi-Fi network makes life easier for people doing business here," Riley said. "It's all done at no cost to the taxpayer."
Riley was joined Friday morning at the park by Andrade and Google's data center operations manager, Eric Wages, to announce the Wi-Fi expansion.
Also, Wages announced Google's expansion of its Street View trekker program, which allows Google Maps users to view places around the world online through 360-degree street-level images. In Charleston, Street View will include off-road areas that include landmarks. "The world is not just about roads," Wages said.
Street View uses a backpack with 15 different cameras that take photos every two to five seconds. Google recently tested the system in the Grand Canyon.
"It was a successful effort," Wages said.
As part of the expansion, the Street Trekker will map Waterfront Park next. Wages said it might take a few months before the images are placed on Google Maps.
About 20 students from the Charleston Charter School for Math and Science demonstrated Google's latest features under the park's pavilion. Their engineering teacher, Meredith Temples, said they were approached by the tech giant to check out the latest expansions in Charleston.
"As engineers I wanted them to see how new technology is introduced to a community," she said.

Blyde River Canyon is the third largest in the world and one of South Africa's scenic wonders. Set against the Greater Drakensberg Escarpment, the Blyde River Canyon area encompasses some of the most dramatic scenery in South Africa. Unique geological features at Bourke's Luck Potholes, Three Rondavels and Gods Window are not to be missed.
The scenery of the 25 000 ha reserve is unsurpassed, its vegetation both varied and lush and the rich selection of birdlife includes a breeding colony of the rare bald ibis.
The Blyde River Canyon can be reached from Graskop via R532. The Canyon starts at Bourke's Luck Potholes and ends at the Three Rondavels.
A public road runs along the long western boundary and there is easy access to beauty spots like The Pinnacle, God's Window with its kloof-framed view of the Lowveld, Bourke's Luck, and a lookout point pointing on The Three Rondavels. These are unusually shaped hillocks that are also visible from the Aventura Blydepoort Resort, a short distance to the north. Where the swift-flowing Blyde River is joined by the Ohrigstad River from the west engineers built an unobtrusive dam wall in a bottleneck below the confluence to form the Blyde Dam.
Wildlife in the canyon area is as varied as the habitats. There are mountain reedbuck on the escarpment, dassies on the canyon walls, hippo and crocodile in the Blyde Dam, and impala, kudu, blue wildebeest, waterbuck and zebra on the Lowveld plain near the canyon's mouth.
At Bourke's Luck a network of pathways and footbridges allows visitors to explore the potholes (some of which are 6 m deep) at the confluence of the Blyde and Treur rivers. The Potholes are very impressive rock formations that were shaped millions of years ago by erosion. The bizarre swirl holes developed when the once rapid river carried masses of sand and debris.

South Portland gets $35K grant to plan Trout Brook restoration
SOUTH PORTLAND — The City Council on Monday accepted two state planning grants to advance environmental initiatives.
The city received a $35,500 from the Department of Environmental Protection to develop a management and restoration plan for Trout Brook and parts of Kimball Brook.
Another $10,000 grant was awarded to develop a handbook for developers about the city's new storm-water regulations.
City Manager Jim Gailey said the effort to restore Trout Brook, which still has a naturally occurring trout population, is similar to regional efforts to clean up Long Creek.
City storm-water manager Fred Dillon said the grant will be used to hire a consultant to help develop a plan for reducing non-point pollution in the watershed, as well as to fund water quality tests.
Dillon said the process will take about 18 months to complete after the funding is received from the state.
The grant requires a local match: more than $23,800 of in-kind services and about $2,100 cash.
Since more than an acre of the more than 2.5 square-mile Trout Brook watershed is in Cape Elizabeth, Dillon said the town has agreed to contribute to the local match requirement.
Councilor Patti Smith, who lives near Trout Brook, said she was happy the city was moving forward with efforts to restore the threatened watershed, which has unique animal and plant life.
"It's not Long Creek, but it's certainly an oasis for the natural world," Smith said.
Councilor Tom Blake said Trout Brook is the only watershed that is still living in the city, and "it won't stay alive if we don't develop a plan."
The city also accepted a $10,000 grant from the State Planning Office to develop a Coastal Communities Storm-Water Management Manual.
It's the second grant the city has received for the project, which will become a template for other coastal communities. Last year, the city received $23,000 to begin the project.
Councilor Maxine Beecher, who served on a committee that updated and strengthened the city's storm-water rules, said the project will give developers clarity about the city's new rules and regulations.
"This will be a very useful tool," Beecher said. "It's a useful thing about for builders, for planners, for everyone."

Program Requirements
Course Clusters
Core Theory: Principles of Economics (Econ 100), Intermediate Microeconomics (Econ 201), Intermediate Macroeconomics (Econ 202)
Theory Electives: Mathematical Economics (Econ 205), Game Theory (Econ 270), Topics in Microeconomics (Econ 301), Topics in Macroeconomics (Econ 302)
Economic Thought: History of Economic Thought I (Econ 210), History of Economic Thought II (Econ 211)
Statistical Methods: Statistics (Econ 229), Econometrics (Econ 329)
Economic History: European Economic History (Econ 216), Asian Economic History (Econ 218)
Applied Electives: All other courses
Three economics courses are required for Moderation, including Principles of Economics (Econ 100) and two 200-level courses, only one of which may be a theory or statistical methods course. The Moderation board meeting is typically held in the second semester of a student's sophomore year. The Moderation board should comprise three faculty members, at least two of whom should be from the Economics Program. If a student intends to pursue an interdisciplinary concentration or a joint major, a faculty member from that concentration or program should be asked to serve on the Moderation board. At Moderation, students identify an area of focus and discuss their preliminary ideas for the required Senior Project.
Graduation Requirements
It is recommended that students take several 200-level applied courses during the sophomore and junior years. Core courses should not be taken pass/fail, and course substitutions require permission of the student's adviser.
Graduation requirements include:
- the core theory sequence
- a course in statistical methods
- a course in economic history
- a course in economic thought
- at least four electives at the 200 level or above in economics, at least two of which must be at the 300 level and at least two of which must be applied electives (students with joint majors or interdisciplinary concentrations may replace one 300-level elective with two 300-level courses in a related discipline)
- Senior Project (Econ 401–402)
A list of recent Senior Projects in economics is available here.
Mathematics Requirements and Recommendations
Precalculus Mathematics (Math 110) or the equivalent is a prerequisite for Economics 100 and Calculus I (Math 141) or the equivalent is a prerequisite for Economics 201 (Calculus II: Math 142 is recommended). Students should follow the mathematics placement guidelines and take recommended math review workshops if needed before enrolling in the core courses.
Economics majors are encouraged to complete the calculus sequence. Students preparing for graduate school should see below for further recommendations.
Sample Program of Study
|First Year
|Sophomore Year
|Junior Year
|Senior Year
|Sr. Project I (fall)
|MATH 141 or 142
ECON 200-level elective
|Sr. Project II (spring)
|FYSEM I (fall)
ECON 200-level elective
|ECON 300-level elective
|ECON history
|FYSEM II (spring)
|Moderation (spring)
|ECON thought
|ECON 300-level elective
Joint Majors and Concentrations
The economics major may be combined with interdisciplinary concentrations such as Global and International Studies, and Social Policy. Students may moderate, simultaneously or separately, in the concentration. To graduate with an economics major and interdisciplinary concentration, all course requirements for both the major and the concentration should be completed, and a single, unified Senior Project that satisfies the requirements of both the major and the concentration must be completed.
Students may pursue a joint major with another program (e.g., Mathematics, Political Studies) where the major requirements of both programs are satisfied and a single Senior Project that satisfies the requirements of both programs is completed. Students should moderate in both programs separately for a joint major, and must obtain permission from the director of each program as well as the College's Executive Committee.
The Bard Program in Economics and Finance
For students who wish to achieve a broad education in the liberal arts while pursuing a career in the financial world, Bard offers a five-year dual-degree program leading to a B.S. degree in economics and finance and a B.A. degree in any program other than Economics. The B.A./B.S. program requires 160 credits; the student must fulfill all general educational requirements of the College's B.A. academic program. See the Economics and Finance program webpage for further details.
Preparation for Graduate School
Students preparing for graduate school in economics are encouraged to take advanced theory courses (Econ 301, 302) and to develop their quantitative skills with additional courses such as Introduction to Mathematical Economics (Econ 205), Econometrics (Econ 329), and related courses in mathematics (Linear Algebra, Proofs and Fundamentals, Probability and Statistics).
For students considering a Ph.D. in economics, additional training in mathematics is recommended. Many Ph.D. programs expect knowledge of differential equations, proofs and fundamentals, and real analysis in addition to the coursework recommended.

Read Poems by
Brooke Mitchell
I talk in circles./ Pulling you deeper into a well of confusion./ Spinning in this whirlpool of
language/ you remain FIXED,/ as words fall from my mouth in a state of profusion./ This
circular net of language is forever/ flinging your mind out of space, and into the ether./
Rhymes cut like a razor./ I'm sitting in a daze here./ I feel I might go crazed here.../ The
warm wind of reality whips across my face./ I am not a member of this white-faced race./ I
am not a player of this game called hate./ And I will not partake of that animal on your
plate./ Eat some magic mushrooms/ and open up the gates of your mind so you can learn to
see./ My perception is one step short of lunacy./ Inhale into my lungs...the sacred breath of
OHM will set me free.

Dregen wrote on Mar 31st, 2011 at 1:03am :sorry for the long ass comment[s], just didn't know how much info you wanted. hopefully this helps you out, but i'm not exactly the best source on bodybuilding since i've only just started getting into it myself. didn't mean to write a whole book for you but that's what it just turned out to be haha. sorry. its fine thanks for the info. I started out @ 200lb because i had a horrible diet but since i met this girl i wanted to change my figure. I lost 60lbs in 5 months and 2 months ago i started lifting and saw my biceps getting bigger and also did some ab workout but im not seeing any difference at all. Im gonna take your suggestions and see if they work for me.
Hey, sorry I uploaded the .GP5 version of my Obfuscation tab instead of the .GP4 version. Here's the .GP4 so you can open it with TuxGuitar: http://www.sendspace.com/file/w2uruw
Dregen wrote on Jul 29th, 2010 at 9:39pm :I absolutely love what you did with that acoustic interlude you put up on Brother.Thanks a lot, dude! I think I told you a while back that I was going to be recording some stuff at my friend's house eventually, but what actually ended up happening is that we turned some ideas into full songs, and there you have it. Brother is actually a combination of two of my songs that were originally short and entirely acoustic, but he realized they were in a similar key and put them together and then we added all the layers, and, well, that's Brother. But yeah, I'm definitely excited with what we've done so far.
new babysteps lesson nw up
Dregen wrote on Jun 6th, 2010 at 4:10pm :You have alot of really good tracks on your page. What program do you use to make them?
Thanks, I mostly use Reason 4 now, though I use Acid Pro 6 and Adobe Soundbooth every once in a while if the mood strikes me.
Dregen wrote on May 11th, 2010 at 11:05am :Oh, definitely. I'd really like to hear more of your stuff.
One more question, how do you record? Because my recordings always suck (like the one I have on my profile, but go figure, I'm using a computer mic), and I need to figure out a way how to improve them. Do you use a mic or a computer line in, and about how much did it cost you?
The one I have up now I just recorded with Audacity and a cheap USB mic, but I'm planning on getting help from a friend when I record the next few. He uses modeling software like Guitar Rig and plays straight into the computer. I don't know much about it myself =/
Dregen wrote on May 7th, 2010 at 10:03pm :I still cannot get over how awesome your mp3 is. Did you just come up with that on the spot one day and decide to record it?
Haha, thanks, dude. That's almost exactly what happened. I keep on trying to think of stuff to add to it, because it's pretty repetitive as is. Just the same part repeated like four times. But I can't come up with anything =/ I've written some other mellow acoustic stuff that I hope to record soon though, and I'll definitely be putting it up on here if that interests you.
I don't want to drag this out on the thread about playing fast, but I liked your post. You're 16, I'm 50. Like it or not, your perspective will change as you get older. As human beings, we all have limitations. You're immortal now, and I understand what you're thinking. I thought much the same as you do at your age. For now, keep believing you can do anything. I was not trying to discourage anyone, from trying to do anything. You're pretty good at analyzing things for your age, keep sharp.
Thanks a lot for the link and the comment, dude. Both are very much appreciated
new btbam only leaked because people recieved their preorders early. i got mine the day after i made the tab lol. so yes, i have been listening to BTBAM in their 5.1 dolby digital surround sound version of the album =D
hey man check out the song Faster than the Night. its kinda like Gone in a Moment, but it varys and moves around alot.
Do you know who Dregen is?
It's one of Sweden's most famous rock guitarists, and he is so far from being "straight edge" that it's a miracle he's alive You should check him out.
Just thought it was funny that you're named Dregen and plays guitar.
hey man thanks for the rating/comment on my Selkies tab
its not perfect, especially not in that really really faced paced death metal part with all the palm muting. that was a tough riff to figure out. i had to slow down the instrumental version of the song to even ATTEMPT that part lol.
thanks for the input though, its greatly appreciated =)

|Young Woman Knitting, Berthe Morisot.
As we strive to form ourselves into elegant and feminine women -- women of high-value and the finest feather -- it's oftentimes too easy to lose ourselves and our "me time" in the process.
For those of us who are continuing with a perusal of the materials on this site for the purpose of becoming an elegant woman, we sometimes lose ourselves in all of the things we have to remember about table manners and posture.
For those of us who are going through the material on this site for the purpose of attracting a masculine man or maintaining such an attraction, we sometimes lose ourselves in becoming the perfect feminine wife and learning how to thrill him and seduce him.
It's important that we have a few hobbies that are are passionate about, sweetheart. This is because feminine and elegant high-value women need to have their own lives, their own interests, and their own passions separate from the home or their romantic partners.
This is how we remain independent and happy (if your happiness is dependent on someone else then our happiness can just walk off) and this is also how we remain interesting and *fascinating*.
Here are a few hobbies of the feminine woman...
This is a very popular hobby among feminine women of the more traditional sort -- and it's very feminine to spend time making warm and cozy gifts for others. :-)
|My Slytherin scarf. ;-)
I am a huge proponent of baking and cooking for femininity. Being able to set pots bubbling on the stove and send aromas wafting through the home brings a feminine and nurturing warmth to the house -- it's no surprise, then, that this is a very feminine hobby, darling!
This is also a very versatile hobby, one that can be taken up by a great variety of feminine women. One can do almost anything with this feminine hobby, whether it be learning to be a fabulous baker who can whip out a great assortment of treats from French artisan pastries to panettone to cupcakes, to someone who enjoys making gourmet candies like chocolates and sea salt caramels, to someone who can cook up a storm in the ethnic cuisine department, to a woman who knows the perfect coq au vin or meatloaf to bring the family together on a cold winter day.
One of my go-to dishes is coq au vin -- it's rustic elegance which means it's elegant enough
to make any night feel like a special occasion yet simple enough to be comfort food.
Dancing is a very feminine hobby because it's one of the best ways to bring out one's femininity. My good friend Vanessa talks about it in her book The Five Feminine Power Virtues. There are many different kinds of dance classes that you can take, whether it be ballet or an ethnic dance like belly-dancing or Indian.
You don't even need to take a lesson -- you can just dance around your room or go out dancing with friends!
Playing an Instrument;
Classical instruments often have very feminine sounds (with feminine pieces to match!) and it's no wonder that many a Jane Austen heroine was talented at the piano or harp. :-)
I think it's important to be smart, or at least knowledgeable about a variety of subjects. Reading allows us to be intelligent and knowledgeable and is a hobby of substance for the feminine woman.
Writing about feminine and elegant subjects is a very feminine hobby indeed -- what can be more feminine than utilizing one's mind to pursue femininity and then sharing one's experiences, either through fiction or creative non-fiction? :-)
Feminine women collaborate and help one another out, so in that way, helping others to be feminine is a very feminine thing to do!
You can pursue writing in many forms. You can write expressive and emotionally-moving poetry about a variety of subjects, you can write fiction (especially "deep" literary fiction that utilizes the emotions and concentrates more on character development than plot development, or society novels and love stories like Jane Austen), or you can even write a blog about femininity. ;-)
Language Learning;
Language learning is a very elegant and feminine hobby.
Painting or any other sort of visual art is a lovely hobby for a feminine woman and hanging her work around the home gives the place a very warm and feminine touch.
Starting an Herb or Vegetable Garden;
If you're pursuing a feminine cooking hobby, starting an herb or vegetable garden would be a good accompaniment. Having a healthy herb or vegetable garden requires the nurture and patience of a feminine woman, darling! ;-)
Flower Arranging;
I think that every feminine woman loves flowers -- and what more feminine hobby than arranging the flowers into something even more pleasing?
Making Soaps;
Making soaps is another very feminine hobby and it's also very enjoyable. One can purchase molds from an arts and crafts store like Michael's or even use the bottoms of used yogurt tins! :-) And then one can combine a variety of essential oils to make their very own scent.
Charity Work;
Finally, I think that one of the most feminine hobbies that a woman can take up is charity work. Feminine women are very nurturing, caring, and empathetic creatures, sweetheart, and in that way, what's more feminine than making a hobby out of helping others who are less fortunate and bringing love into their lives?
That's all for my article "The Feminine Woman's Hobbies." I hope you liked it! :-))

What macros do you use? Which are your favourites?
Personally, I started out experimenting with macros when I was a very young Druid, with a /say macro that would tell targets of fly-by buffings who was responsible. I came to my senses quickly -- it was a remarkably spammy macro and I cringe when I see it still in my macro list. I've also used the macro functionality to change spell icons, as some of my different characters share the same icon for separate actions, a confusing situation. However, I've never found a 'killer' macro, though I'm happy to be converted.
