Salvation Army Royal Albert Hall Highlights, Volume 1: The Present Age
(Various bands and singers)
For many years The Salvation Army has held musical festivals bringing together singers and instrumentalists from the UK and further afield. These are frequently timed to coincide with gatherings of musical leaders from across the United Kingdom, and in recent years the venue has been the Royal Albert Hall. Certainly since the 1960s, recordings were made of these events, and subsequently released, initially on lp, then tape and cd, up until the dvd releases of the last couple of years.
The occasions are often used to showcase new music, with many major works receiving their premieres at the Councils Festivals, so there is a wealth of material to draw from. For this, the first release in a projected series, the compilation consists of fairly familiar repertoire, but it is hoped that future issues will feature some of the specially commissioned items written for the event, and which are infrequently heard due to the resources required. Equally, all the solo groups featured here are UK-based, whereas many overseas sections have attended over the years.
1965 saw The Salvation Army celebrating its Centenary (having started out as the East London Christian Mission in 1865) and the special events held during that year included the premieres of many new works, several of which have gained classic status. The old classics were not forgotten, however, as is seen by the inclusion of George Marshalls march Soldiers of Christ alongside Dean Goffins setting of Happy song, which features some of the overseas sections singing a verse in their own language.
Also released in 1965 was The Holy War, featuring Ray Steadman-Allens opus (not on this release), together with his Fantasia for Piano & Band: Christ is the answer and Eric Balls setting of the Magnificat for female voices. It is good to have Rays own interpretation of the former to set alongside more recent versions, and although the performance of the latter (sung by the National Songsters) is not flawless, there is always something special about a premiere recording.
In 1966 came An evening at the Royal Albert Hall, represented here by the massed bands playing George Marshalls selection Great & Glorious, an impressive rendition by Norwich Citadel Band of Eric Balls Song of Courage, and the premiere of Les Condons setting of Song of Praise. The last-named, with its confident assertion that Christ has overcome the world has been used countless times over the years, and it is interesting to note that it is generally taken somewhat faster nowadays than at that original performance.
The final performance in this first volume is one about which there has been some discussion already on tMP: Leslie Condon, then a member of the ISBs bass section, apparently produced the music for The Present Age piecemeal, the band only receiving the complete version a week before the performance at the Brass International festival in 1968. Reviewing the release for the Salvation Army publication Salvationist, Dudley Bright questioned whether the version on the new cd is the same as that on the original lp, the festival having been given twice on the same day, a suspicion echoed on here by Brian Bowen, at that point the bands flugel player. Now those of you who still have the original and means to play it! can listen to the two and make up your own minds.
The sleeve notes do not help us in this respect, being somewhat rudimentary, largely consisting of personal reminisces of some of the participants, when a little more detail on the works and the performances could have been more helpful. Whilst this release will no doubt bring back happy memories to many, it should not be seen as a mere exercise in nostalgia: these are vibrant performances, with the particular frisson that comes from a live recording, and still stand up well when comparison is made with more recent versions. Offered at what counts these days as mid-price, this and future releases should be of a wide interest.

Olrig, Caithness
"OLRICK, a parish in the county of Caithness, Scotland. It comprises the village of Castletown. It extends in length about 6 miles from N. to S., with an extreme breadth of 3½ miles. It is bounded on the N. by Dunnet Bay, and on the other sides by the parishes of Dunnet, Bower, and Thurso. The surface is generally level, but rises towards the S., where it becomes hilly, affording excellent sheep-walks. The soil of the arable lands lying towards the sea is rich and fertile. Oats are extensively cultivated. The principal hills are Durran and Olrick. From the latter there is a fine prospect, with traces of a watchtower on its summit. The parish contains the loch of Durran, which is nearly 3 miles in circumference. Along the coast, which is rugged and shelving, though not bold, are some sandy links. To the E. is Castle Hill Bay, where is a commodious harbour, and near it another bay called Murkle, which might easily be made an excellent harbour at no great expense. The village of Olrick is about 16 miles N.W. of Wick, and 3½ S.E. of Thurso. It is situated on Dunnet Bay. A portion of the inhabitants are engaged in the sandstone, limestone, slate, and flagstone quarries, with which this district abounds, and others in the fisheries. There was formerly a nunnery at Murkle, connected with St. Columba's church. This parish is in the presbytery of Caithness, and synod of Sutherland and Caithness. The minister has a stipend of £218. The parish church was erected in 1841. There are also a Free church, parochial school and library, and other schools. The principal mansions are Murkle (a seat of the late Earl of Caithness), Ratter, Olrick, and Castle Hill, this last so called from an old castle, of which scarcely a vestige is discernible. Picts' houses occur in various parts of the parish."

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly fun bugdet gaming,
Alexander Michaels (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: The Cursed Crusade - Xbox 360 Standard Edition (Video Game)
As a pseudo-RPG hack and slash you go from place to place killing all kinds of bad guys with an insane variety of weapons, watching some very cinematic and gory finishing moves and levelling up your stats and combos. You've seen it all before and in this regard Cursed Crusade is the B movie of video games. The graphics range from decent to ugly, the level design is often times confusing, the voice over is laughable, the story segments practically ripped from a Wikipedia entry on the crusades and difficulty spikes that will make you curse out loud.
However, there's something incredibly awesome about the whole experience that is hard to describe. Like most good B movies, Cursed Crusade is so bad that it's almost avant-guard. The violence is so over-the-top that when playing with a friend over local coop, expect to start cheering whenever your character literally hammers a sword into an enemy's chest cavity or chops him down into pieces like a tree. Once you get the hang of the game and know how to hustle the broken mechanics it becomes one of the more entertaining pieces of easy achievement-hunting-budget-gaming out there.
1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your time,

This review is from: The Cursed Crusade - Xbox 360 Standard Edition (Video Game)
A terrible, terrible bug ridden mess. This game has a particularly annoying bug that prevents loading of the last 20% of the game. It seems to come up on about 1/4 of all users too. This was never patched and forced me to replay the whole game right from the start to complete it.
This was not the only bug I encountered. Numerous freezes, glitches in loading enemies so they never spawn... and this is just the technical issues.
As for actual quality, look up a review on a games website. The quality is something from an alpha build. It is incomplete in almost EVERY way. Terrible game.

It took me about 40 (+) tries just to get through the opening sequence,and from there it got worse.It was the same thing over and over again, and just did not work for me. The game had a lot of potential, but the developers seemed (to me) to rush it and did not give it that extra little nudge. Which could of made it a great game to play, instead of a mild tempest in a teapot.

Pretty Little Liars
Watch Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 21 Online
Is Toby really dead? This week's episode of Pretty Little Liars (Season 3, Episode 21: "Out of Sight, Out of Mind") put the "A" in amazing, but no worries if you missed it! Now, you can watch the full episode above. Here's a brief recap of the action if you can't take the suspense of going in blind.
The big jaw-dropping moment of the episode came when Spencer (Troian Bellisario) found what looked like Toby's (Keegan Allen) dead body in the Rosewood forest. As you may imagine, Spencer does not take it well. She waits Twilight-style in the woods until someone finds her, and the episode ends with Spence, still catatonic, in Radley Sanitarium.

While this winter got off to a slow start, there have been an above-average amount of plowable snows in Duluth over the last couple months, and that may mean trouble for city budgeting.
Kelly Fleissner heads up plowing efforts for the city of Duluth and he said crews have been out 30 times this winter; the average is 23. He said two-thirds of those plowable snows took place in the last couple months.
"We're probably over budget by $100,000 to $150,000 on just the 2013 side of this winter," Fleissner said. "We're starting to eat into what we're suppose to have available next fall and early winter. We're getting a little bit nervous about that."
Funding for snow removal is set for the calendar year, which means late-season storms affect supplies for the next winter season.
"We're hoping this will end very soon for us and we don't have to dig any deeper into that pocket of money," Fleissner said.
Whether or not Duluth gets more snow this season, Fleissner said his crews will not sacrifice safety. He said they'll work with other city officials to shift funding around.
Fleissner also said excess money is not able to roll over from year to year. Even though we had little snow last year, the money was redistributed.

Use Wilton's egg separator to obtain fast and easy egg whites with no mess. The egg yolk sits in a top cavity while the whites slip through slots into a bottom compartment. This is fun to watch, and the kids get a kick out of it.–Kimberly "Momma" Reiner and Jenna Sanz-Agero
LC She Talks to Angels Note
Anyone who can conjure a frosting as angelic as this, that's puffy and white and billowy as clouds, can clearly talk to angels. Or at least channel them. Way to go, Momma Reiner. Never was an angel food cake so perfectly smothered in cloudlike perfection. Er, confection.
Special Equipment: Candy thermometer
Angel White Icing Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes enough for 1 cake
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup egg whites (from about 4 large eggs, separated)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- 1. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the sugar, cream of tartar, salt, and hot water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid changes from cloudy to clear, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover the saucepan and boil for about 1 minute to wash down any sugar crystals that may have formed on the sides of the saucepan. Uncover and continue to cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 240°F (115°C). Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool just a little.
- 2. When the candy thermometer reads 236°F (113°C), beat the egg whites with a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. With the motor still running, slowly add the sugar syrup to the egg whites, beating on medium speed. Add the vanilla or almond extract and continue to beat until the frosting is cool and holds its shape, 5 to 8 minutes. Use immediately.

University System of Georgia Chancellor Henry "Hank" Huckaby says he is confident the state Board of Regents will vote next week to approve consolidating eight colleges into four.
Huckaby said he doesn't know how much money will be saved by merging the institutions and reducing administrative costs. He confirmed a list of mergers a state lawmaker released Tuesday to The Associated Press.
The proposed consolidations involve merging Gainesville State College with North Georgia College & State University; as well as merging Waycross College with South Georgia College in Douglas; Augusta State College with the Georgia Health Sciences University; and Middle Georgia College with Macon State College.
"This consolidation would be a positive step forward for the future of our institutions and for students seeking higher education degrees," said North Georgia President Bonita Jacobs in a news release. "Though our institutions have had unique identities, we share a common value of engaged student learning to help students succeed academically and professionally."

Waffles are an extremely popular breakfast food that goes well with syrup, but does it go well with ice cream? Yes it does! In this instructable you will learn how to make one of my favorite desserts of all time....... The waffle ice cream treat!
You may have heard of these being served at dessert places around the world, but this version you can make right in you kitchen, and it tastes much better than that of a resteraunt.
I was inspired to make this because....
-I saw a waffle icecream treat at a theme park for a ridiculous price and I knew that I could do better!
-I had all of the ingredients on hand and I knew it would make a delicious treat!
-I wanted to add a twist to the traditional waffle and icecream treat.
Some great things about this treat are....
- The warm waffle melts the chocolate making this a messy yet delicious treat!
- This is a great dessert for parties and gatherings.
- This requires easy to find ingredients and takes less than ten minutes to prepare.
I hope you enjoy making your ice cream waffle treat!
Step 1: Materials
- Any flavor ice cream

I received free items to test out in exchange for a review. Although free allows us to raise our dogs in the style they've become accustomed, I can't be bought; I will always be honest and upfront with you.
I'm excited to announce that we're going to adopt again! And, we're even open to working with a reputable breeder and have been in touch with the AKC and LongShadow Farms (Australian Shepherds). If it were up to me, we'd adopt RIGHT NOW, but when we started to get a hold of our grief, my boyfriend reminded me that we needed to make some changes to our property to make sure we don't have another accident.
A Jump Proof Fence
In the spring, we'll be making the fence surrounding the dog yard taller – at least 6′ – and we'll be expanding the dog yard to make sure that there's plenty of room for our pack to roam and play during the day.
A Safer Dog Car
I drive a 2005 Ford Escape and besides the thousands I've dumped into the lemon I love, I've added a few things to my car, the dog car, to make it safer too. And this is just a start.
Kurgo creates products for our cars and I had the opportunity to try the Kurgo Wander Hammock Seat Cover in Khaki with Orange. This is the 2nd hammock we've used in our life as dog parents and it's far superior then the one we were using. It doesn't rip or tear, it stands up in the wash, and it stays on the seats (not flipping over, exposing the seats). I love it.
I have no complaints about this hammock except that (1) it doesn't repel muddy paws magically and that I received a lighter color. Actually, the color is kind of tough, because the lighter color gets dirty and I can't stand it so I'll wash it regularly (I hang dry most of the time, personally preference). A darker color would match my interior, but I may become lazy about washing it if I can't see the dirt. Decisions Decisions.
Another Dog Car Improvement
Another thing we got to try are BreezeGuards screens by Mutt Managers, which I was introduced to this summer. We don't have dogs who hang their head out the window and I'm so glad, because whenever I see a dog hanging out the window I first smile, because they look so happy, and then I worry about road debris hitting them. You should see my front window – loads of dings from the road.
What I love about our BreezeGuards screens are…
- they're custom made to fit our car perfectly (and the owner made sure our fit was right),
- our dogs are safe from road debris,
- (even more) they're safe from people who are tempted to pet them or tease them when I run in the store (on a completely NON-hot day),
- I can easily remove the screens, store them in the back, and pull them out when I need them,
- and the customer service was outstanding – our first screens didn't fit perfectly so we got a second set; we had no complaints, but Sue insisted that it be right.
Speaking of hot days, the BreezeGuards screens DO NOT make it okay for us to leave our dogs in the car; but they do allow a really great breeze (instead of a hurricane) into the car when we're driving around town with our dogs.
The only thing that sucks is that one of my flaws has been spotlighted since we had BreezeGuards screens installed. With the screens, the dog car windows won't close completely. This isn't a big deal in the summer, but on rainy days, it can be a pain, because my car sits outside and I forget to take the screens out and close the windows (duhhhhhh).
Set up is fast and easy, so when we're taking the dogs on a trip, we put in our BreezeGuards screens and our Kurgo Hammock, and we're good to go.
On the Wish List
Next on my shopping list is a Kurgo Backseat Barrier for Cars and SUVs. I like this one, because it's not a net, which Sydney would so get wrapped up in as she steps on the center console to verify that we are, indeed, going on a walk.
My goal is to make my car a safe vehicle for our littermates.

About Identity Theft
- How can someone steal my identity?
- What are the effects of identity theft?
- How can I tell if I'm a victim of identity theft?
- What is "pretexting" and what does it have to do with identity theft?
- How long can the effects of identity theft last?
- Should I use a credit monitoring service?
How can someone steal my identity?
Despite your best efforts to manage the flow of your personal information or to keep it to yourself, skilled identity thieves may use a variety of methods to gain access to your data.
- They get information from businesses or other institutions by:
- stealing records or information while they're on the job,
- bribing an employee who has access to these records,
- hacking these records,
- conning information out of employees.
- They may steal your mail, including bank and credit card statements, credit card offers, new checks, and tax information.
- They may rummage through your trash, the trash of businesses, or public trash dumps in a practice known as "dumpster diving."
- They may get your credit reports by abusing their employer's authorized access to them, or by posing as a landlord, employer, or someone else who may have a legal right to access your report.
- They may steal your credit or debit card numbers by capturing the information in a data storage device in a practice known as "skimming." They may swipe your card for an actual purchase, or attach the device to an ATM machine where you may enter or swipe your card.
- They may steal your wallet or purse.
- They may complete a "change of address form" to divert your mail to another location.
- They may steal personal information they find in your home.
- They may steal personal information from you through email or phone by posing as legitimate companies and claiming that you have a problem with your account. This practice is known as "phishing" online, or pretexting by phone.
What are the effects of identity theft?
Once identity thieves have your personal information, they use it in a variety of ways.
- They may call your credit card issuer to change the billing address on your credit card account. The imposter then runs up charges on your account. Because your bills are being sent to a different address, it may be some time before you realize there's a problem.
- They may open new credit card accounts in your name. When they use the credit cards and don't pay the bills, the delinquent accounts are reported on your credit report.
- They may establish phone or wireless service in your name.
- They may open a bank account in your name and write bad checks on that account.
- They may counterfeit checks or credit or debit cards, or authorize electronic transfers in your name, and drain your bank account.
- They may file for bankruptcy under your name to avoid paying debts they've incurred under your name, or to avoid eviction.
- They may buy a car by taking out an auto loan in your name.
- They may get identification such as a driver's license issued with their picture, in your name.
- They may get a job or file fraudulent tax returns in your name.
- They may give your name to the police during an arrest. If they don't show up for their court date, a warrant for arrest is issued in your name.
How can I tell if I'm a victim of identity theft?
If an identity thief is opening credit accounts in your name, these accounts are likely to show up on your credit report. To find out, order a copy of your credit reports. Once you get your reports, review them carefully. Look for inquiries from companies you haven't contacted, accounts you didn't open, and debts on your accounts that you can't explain. Check that information, like your Social Security number, address(es), name or initials, and employers are correct. If you find fraudulent or inaccurate information, get it removed. See Correcting Fraudulent Information in Credit Reports to learn how. Continue to check your credit reports periodically, especially for the first year after you discover the identity theft, to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.
Stay alert for other signs of identity theft, like:
- failing to receive bills or other mail. Follow up with creditors if your bills don't arrive on time. A missing bill could mean an identity thief has taken over your account and changed your billing address to cover his tracks.
- receiving credit cards that you didn't apply for.
- being denied credit, or being offered less favorable credit terms, like a high interest rate, for no apparent reason.
- getting calls or letters from debt collectors or businesses about merchandise or services you didn't buy.
What is "pretexting" and what does it have to do with identity theft?
Pretexting is the practice of getting your personal information under false pretenses. Pretexters sell your information to people who may use it to get credit in your name, steal your assets, or to investigate or sue you. Pretexting is against the law.
Pretexters use a variety of tactics to get your personal information. For example, a pretexter may call, claim he's from a survey firm, and ask you a few questions. When the pretexter has the information he wants, he uses it to call your financial institution. He pretends to be you or someone with authorized access to your account. He might claim that he's forgotten his checkbook and needs information about his account. In this way, the pretexter may be able to obtain personal information about you such as your Social Security number, bank and credit card account numbers, information in your credit report, and the existence and size of your savings and investment portfolios.
Keep in mind that some information about you may be a matter of public record, such as whether you own a home, pay your real estate taxes, or have ever filed for bankruptcy. It is not pretexting for another person to collect this kind of information.
By law, it's illegal for anyone to:
- use false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or documents to get customer information from a financial institution or directly from a customer of a financial institution.
- use forged, counterfeit, lost, or stolen documents to get customer information from a financial institution or directly from a customer of a financial institution.
- ask another person to get someone else's customer information using false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or using false, fictitious or fraudulent documents or forged, counterfeit, lost, or stolen documents.
How long can the effects of identity theft last?
It's difficult to predict how long the effects of identity theft may linger. That's because it depends on many factors including the type of theft, whether the thief sold or passed your information on to other thieves, whether the thief is caught, and problems related to correcting your credit report.
Victims of identity theft should monitor their credit reports and other financial records for several months after they discover the crime. Victims should review their credit reports once every three months in the first year of the theft, and once a year thereafter. Stay alert for other signs of identity theft. See How can I tell if I'm a victim of identity theft?
Don't delay in correcting your records and contacting all companies that opened fraudulent accounts. The longer the inaccurate information goes uncorrected, the longer it will take to resolve the problem.
Should I use a credit monitoring service?
There are a variety of commercial services that, for a fee, will monitor your credit reports for activity and alert you to changes to your accounts. Prices and services vary widely. Many of the services only monitor one of the three major consumer reporting companies. If you're considering signing up for a service, make sure you understand what you're getting before you buy. Also check out the company with your local Better Business Bureau, consumer protection agency and state Attorney General to see if they have any complaints on file.

During a change of command ceremony in Kansas City, Capt. Travis Neely (center) receives the colors of Headquarters, Headquarters Company, 110th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade for the first time. (Photo by Jennifer Archdekin)
By Jennifer Archdekin
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Missouri National Guard's Headquarters, Headquarters Company, 110th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade ushered in new leadership at a change of command ceremony on Sunday, May 6 in Kansas City. Capt. Travis Neely took command of the company from Capt. Alan Brown.
Neely has served with the Missouri National Guard since 2010 and this is his first command position.
"This is a real unique chance to work with such a diverse organization," said Neely. "The Maneuver Enhancement Brigade encompasses so many different military occupational specialties and officer branches. It's an opportunity to really understand each branch's role and how they fit into the larger mission for both the state of Missouri and the Army."
Though relatively new to the Missouri National Guard, Neely brings with him 10 years of military experience. He first served in the active duty Army and commissioned as an officer in 2002. In 2003 he was part of the invasion of Iraq with 937th Engineer Group in support of the 3rd Infantry Division. In 2004 he deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the 70th Engineer Battalion and the 1st Armored Division. In 2005 he served with the 70th Engineer Battalion under the 3rd Infantry Division in support of OIF.
"I really look forward to seeing the younger Soldiers and leaders develop," said Neely. "I hopefully will develop with them from both a personal and professional standpoint. It's a privilege to be a leader not only for the Army, but also for the state I grew up in."
Neely said the 110th MEB is a distinctive unit.
"They are a very adaptable group of Citizen-Soldiers," said Neely. "This was displayed last summer during both the Joplin tornado and the Missouri River flood. Leadership placed many Soldiers outside of their specific duties and roles. Their ability to step into an unfamiliar role and excel was key in the success of both of these missions. They represented our organization with pride and made a significant impact on the people within the communities affected by these disasters."
Currently Neely works full-time as a Department of the Army civilian operations officer at the National Simulation Center on Fort Leavenworth. He grew up in Mount Vernon and has lived Lenexa, Kan. for the past six years. He is a 2002 graduate of Missouri State University in Springfield.

Charlie Sheen's Ex Brooke Mueller to Kick Her Habit With ... Ibogaine
|courtesy of the Riverfront Times
|Shock the Junkie: It's Brooke Mueller's turn, reports TMZ.com.
Mueller is, of course, a case so pathetic that she not only married Sheen, but she actually appeared on Paris Hilton's latest train wreck reality TV show, sobbing about her inability to hold it together. (Fun fact: It was actually actress Rebecca Gayheart who set up Mueller, a woman who's long struggled with addiction issues, with Sheen. 'Cuz ya know, there's nothing so romantic than a cokehead finding another cokehead to
Anyway, back to TMZ. The gossip website is reporting that Mueller is heading off to Cancun for another attempt at rehab -- and this time, she's taking the ibogaine cure.
RFT readers will remember staff writer Keegan Hamilton's epic report last year about the controversial substance, which is known to cure addiction by inducing one hell of a horrible high.
As Hamilton reported in "Shock the Junkie," his November 2010 feature,
Taken in sufficient quantity, [Ibogaine] triggers a psychedelic experience that users say is more intense than LSD or psilocybin mushrooms. Practitioners of the Bwiti religion in the West African nation of Gabon use iboga root bark as a sacrament to induce visions in tribal ceremonies, similar to the way natives of South and Central America use ayahuasca and peyote. Wilkins is one of a few dozen therapists worldwide who specialize in the use of iboga (more specifically, a potent extract called ibogaine) to treat drug addiction...
"All drugs have side effects, but ibogaine is unique for the severity of its side effects," says Dorit Ron, a neurology professor at the University of California-San Francisco. "I think ibogaine is a nasty drug. But if you can disassociate the side effects from the good effects, there is a mechanism of action in ibogaine that reduces relapse in humans."As Hamilton reported, the drug isn't legal in the U.S., although there are people working to change that. Scientists are also experimenting with a non-hallucinogenic version of ibogaine, which they say seems to have the same ability to help users kick the habit -- without the horrible side effects that have long been part of the process.
For now, though, addicts like Mueller are stuck going to places like Mexico -- and dealing with the world's worst mindfuck as part of their recovery process. As Hamilton wrote in his RFT feature,
Most experienced users say the drug is extremely unpleasant when ingested in large doses, causing severe nausea, vertigo, sleeplessness and visions that can be nightmarish. The effects last up to 36 hours, and the strain can be so great that some users are bedridden for days after.
"I only took one capsule of extract. It was very weak, but it was still strong enough to make me puke for six hours," says Dana Beal, a New York-based activist and long-time lobbyist for ibogaine legalization. "I had my head in a wastebasket or sink or toilet the entire time. It's aversive. I can tell you from personal experience that I don't ever want to take it again."
So, OK, it's gonna suck. Our only question at this point: Can it be any worse than hanging around with Paris Hilton?

You have chosen to report the following comment for abusing our terms of service:
Debary needs a policy on wasteful spending, like the $400K splash pad when the city already has 10 other parks and the city hall is not even paid for yet.
Ask C/M Slick Nick Koval why Debary pays HOA dues on those 9 lots in his golf community
Ask Slick Nick about the $80K plus park his golf community just got.
Ask C/M Mr Hunt how the city bought $9500 worth of sports equipment for his friends at the Debary Little League
Ask C/M Chris 'firecracker' Carson about the $25k plus his stinky CPPI organization just got plus all the money he gives away to his non profit bum friends.
Debary needs a policy alright, it needs some councilmembers that act like grown ups instead of acting like a bunch of 10 year old kids spending stolen money.
The knuckleheads wasted roughly $500K on crap the city does not need while the city is $11 million in debt.
Sure lets have a mileage policy...that should make up the $500K these elected idiots just wasted on their own selfish projects.
Ignorance and selfishness is KING at the Debary City Council...look at the city tapes

|Potential Problem
|Possible Reason
|Voltage not releasing.
|Faulty switch.
|Replace switch.
|Rotor and armature locked together.
|The clutch has been severely galled and has locked up. (Galling is the condition whereby a piece of metal is trapped between the armature and the rotor and melts due to high pressure and heat, spot welding the surfaces together.)
|If rotor and armature connot be separated, replace the clutch. If they do separate, follow burnishing procedure.
|Pulley bearing locked.
Bearing lost grease due to seal problem, temperature or water contamination.
|Replace clutch.
|Voltage is going to the clutch but the clutch will still not engage.
|The air gap is too large. (Example)
|If straight bore the air gap can be readjusted. If unit has set screw, bottom out armature hub against field then back off to 0.1 inches and retighten set screw. If spacers are used on straight bore reduce the width of the spacer. If its a taper bore clutch tap on the armature cover plate to close air gap.

A salon business needs a website as much as any business.
However, a salon can use their website as a revenue generator more directly than many other businesses by integrating online appointment booking and payment.
There are WordPress themes that make it easy to have clients book appointments directly on the website (they're the first 2 Salon WordPress themes listed below).
But, you don't have to use an appointment-booking theme in order to have this functionality. You can integrate your WordPress theme with many calendar/booking salon software applications. Therefore, be sure to check with your salon software provider about how to integrate the scheduling and booking features in a WordPress site. Generally, WordPress integrates well with most third party software applications.
Choosing a salon website design
Salon websites vary tremendously in design. There isn't a one-style-fits-all for a salon website. Design styles can be light, colorful, edgy, loud, tranquil, all-business, exciting … you name it. This flexibility is excellent. However, you want your website design to reflect your salon's environment.
I'd like to kick start your salon website design process by suggesting the following Salon WordPress themes. Some are designed specifically for salons while others are more generic that I believe would work well for a salon. As stated above, the first 2 theme designs are actually appointment-booking themes.
WordPress Themes for a Salon Business Website
1. Appointment Theme
>Click Here for the Appointment Theme Demo<
Of the 2 appointment-booking themes, I like the Appointment theme the best. It's simple, professional and works for any appointment-centric business.
2. Spa Salon Theme
>Click Here for the Spa Salon Theme Demo<
It's easy to miss the appointment booking feature … it's the brown box on the left. This theme is functional, but not the prettiest (in my view).
3. Deep Focus Theme
>Click Here for the Deep Focus Theme Demo<
I absolutely love the Deep Focus theme. It includes a portfolio feature so you can show off your salon work. The overall design and feel is tranquil … which makes for a perfect salon website.
4. Rejuvinate Theme
>Click Here for the Rejuvinate Theme Demo<
I think the name says it all. This theme works very well for salons and spas equally.
5. InStyle Theme
>Click Here for the Instyle Theme Demo<
Change the background with the InStyle theme with a professional photograph of your salon. It's a striking effect perfect for any salon website.
6. Limon Theme
>Click Here for the Limon Theme Demo<
Limon theme is a straight-up traditionally laid out theme designed with salons and spas in mind. It's subdued and if that's the look you want, this theme works well.
7. Sedona Day Spa Theme
>Click Here for the Sedona Day Spa Theme Demo<
Sedona Day Spa theme offers a striking full-width design that makes it easy for you to show off your salon interior with images.
8. Lifestyle Theme
>Click Here for the Lifestyle Theme Demo<
Lifestyle theme is for the salon owner that wants to create a busy and exciting website. Lifestyle is a magazine style theme that is organized so that you can display a lot of content in a well-organized manner.
9. Crystal Theme
>Click Here for the Crystal Theme Demo<
Crystal theme is a portfolio theme that gives you the opportunity to highlight client stories using the portfolio layout.

One website function many salons ignore
I think it's a shame salons fail to include a portfolio or gallery of their work (i.e. hair cuts, coloring and nail work). I realize there's an expense involved with hiring a photographer and getting the "okay" from clients; however, even 3 to 5 examples can really dress up a salon website. It can be an incredible selling tool.
Another function salon websites fail to include is self-booking for clients. Why not offer clients the option to book their own appointments? This saves you and your staff time booking the appointment while providing enhanced customer service. Moreover, clients can book any time … not just during your business hours.
Websites are an opportunity to not only sell services, but to inform and provide service.
WordPress makes these features possible. I love WordPress for business sites (hence this website which is largely dedicated to small business owners looking for an inexpensive website solution that creates stunning and highly functional sites).
If you have any suggestions for other salon WordPress themes, please let me know. I'll consider all suggestions for inclusion in this list.

Series: Saturday Science Links (27 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
BioLogos Basics Video #8: Genetics
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
Series: Adam, Eve, and Human Population Genetics (15 entries)
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.

From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
From The Archives: Where are the Transitional Fossils?
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.

New Creation: The Hermeneutic of Love
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Not So Dry Bones: An interview with Mary Schweitzer
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!

Kickstarter is the uber-popular funding platform for creative projects, which launched in 2009. Since then, it has crowdfunded projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields. I wondered if they allowed science projects to be funded through their site. Wouldn't it be great, I thought, to raise millions of dollars to fund scientific projects? Surely the public who donates a few dollars for a widget, would also donate a few dollars to cure cancer. But Kickstarter doesn't permit this funding mechanism because they are funding projects strictly for the development or creation of tangible items. I'm not sure about the other crowdfunding sites. However, the idea of crowdfunding science is an interesting one: to put scientists in front of the crowd to raise money, and this is exactly the idea behind the new #SciFund Challenge; unfortunately, I'm skeptical it'll work.
Why? Primarily because the amount of time required to raise the money is much greater than the amount of time required to write grant. Even more so when normalized for how much money you'll receive. As scientists become more and more senior (and more and more busy), several only apply for the big dollar grants, to justify their time writing. Would they rather spend a week writing a grant for $50,000 or $500,000. How about a month of crowdsourcing for funding? For $1000??? I doubt it.
I'm also skeptical because crowdsourcing circumvents an important, and often overlooked part of the grant making process: experts judge which grants get funded based on objective criteria. Now, with funding pay lines between 10-15%, I realize this is not always the case, and sometimes reviewers seem to triage good applications for not-so-good reasons. However, when a grant doesn't get funded and the science is evaluated honestly and objectively, my re-submitted application is almost always better than my original submission. Crowdsourcing will omit this important part of the process.
Also, depending on how much scientific justification is required, crowdsourcing science funding might even omit defining and defending your scientific technical approach. Omitting this step would surely weaken the grant making process, as technical approaches often changes mid-grant. So while the funding climate is difficult for current scientists, and not encouraging for young up-and-coming scientists, I argue that radically changing the funding approach by crowdsourcing funds directly from the lay public would lead to less rigorous grants.
Crowdsourcing scientific funding can also put scientists in a precarious situation: scientists are not always good at "selling" their science, which is what they'll need to do in a crowdsourcing system. Currently, scientists walk a narrow line to sell their science enough to make it interesting, but not too much to be overreaching. This is why several top journals are now excluding priority statements (i.e. we show for the first time...) a matter of editorial policy. Who wants to hear about something (science or otherwise) when someone continues to tell you how great it is? However, to engage the public in scientific crowdfunding, a little over-selling might be required.
Finally, part of the argument supporting crowdsourcing is that "many scientists fear that they will take a major hit professionally by seriously engaging with the public", subtly suggesting scientists need a new way of thinking when it comes to engaging with scientific and non-scientific audiences. However I find this notion untrue. Most scientists aren't afraid of engaging with the public, and welcome opportunities to do so. Whether the venue is a scientific talk to a lay audience (e.g. ScienceCafes), an interview for a radio show, a video clip describing a new publication, or meet-and-greets with possible philanthropists, scientists generally welcome these opportunities. In fact, most scientists I know love talking about their science, and often times getting them to talk about something else is difficult! However, opportunities like these are uncommon for most scientists, so the perception might be that the lack of participation rests on the side of the scientists, rather than the lack of opportunity.
In the end, most scientists enjoy science. And enjoy the tasks that take them away from doing science less. One of the main complaints that you'll hear from senior scientists who have been funded during fat years and during lean years, is that the lean years require more grants to be written, and less time actually doing science. And while I'm supportive of grass-roots approaches for alternative scientific funding mechanisms, I suspect other grant making approaches that require scientists spend even more time away from the science itself will not be sustainable.

Mini in the 1960s
Mini and the Monte Carlo Rally
Press Release
The Expression of a New, Mobile and Active Lifestyle
In September 1960 two new versions of the Mini made their debut in the market: the Austin Seven Countryman and the Morris Mini Traveller. The term "Traveller" used in conjunction with the Mini clearly indicates that this model was targeted at a group of customers enjoying an active lifestyle quite new and unprecedented at the time.
Apart from the typical elements and highlights of Mini design as well as the two doors at the rear, these special versions of the Mini remain in our memory to this day through their wooden sideboards extending all the way back at the outside from the B-pillar. Starting in 1961, the Morris Mini Traveller was also available without this woodwork in foreign markets outside of Great Britain, with this "no-wood" option being introduced in the Mini Traveller's home market in 1962. In 1969 the Mini Clubman Estate replaced the Traveller and Countryman, total production of the Mini Estate under all model designations amounting to more than 400,000 units between 1960 and 1982.
In technical terms the Mini Estate was based on the two-seater Mini Van launched in January 1960. Compared with the Mini Saloon, that is the original Mini, exterior length was up from 3,050 to 3,300 mm (120.1´´ to 129.9´´), with the car's wheelbase extended by 110 mm or 4.33´´ to 2,140 mm or 84.3´´, while the roofline was 10 mm or almost 0.4´´ higher.
With its reinforced suspension and higher loading capacity, the Mini Traveller met all the demands made of an elegant transporter at the time, with go-kart-like driving characteristics ensuring the highest conceivable standard of agility in the market. Starting in 1961, finally, a Mini Pick-Up was also offered on the same technical basis.
One Hundred Years of Sir Alec Issigonis.
Forty-seven years after the world debut of the first Mini, this small but sporting athlete from Britain has become a huge success in nearly 80 countries the world over. And the creator of the car was indeed just as cosmopolitan as MINI is today: Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis
was born on 18 November 1906 as the son of a Greek father and a German mother in a region which now belongs to Turkey. At the age of 16 Alex Issigonis moved to Britain, where he completed his schooling and studied engineering before becoming one of the most successful automotive engineers and designers ever to come out of Britain.
Not only the many technical innovations introduced in the first Mini clearly showed that the ingenious inventor of this car saw the subject of transport from a very different perspective – no, it was particularly Issigonis' irresistible attitude in life that made the whole development so unique: "Mathematics is the enemy of every creative individual", is how Alec Issigonis once summed up his creed.
Not surprisingly, therefore, Mini was a highly emotional car right from the start, chic and urban, but also perfect for winding roads and serpentine routes. Only a few months elapsed from the initial sketches to the first road-going prototypes, the Mini making its world debut in 1959. And at the same time Issigonis' ingenious construction anticipated the principle of front-wheel drive with the engine fitted in transverse arrangement at the front destined to become the standard concept for compact cars as of the '70s of the 20th century.
The first million Minis was sold by 1965 and this little high-performance car had already won the Monte Carlo Rally as well as the Thousand-Lake Rally in Finland. In consideration of this outstanding success, Alec Issigonis was knighted by the Queen of England in 1969. Sir Alec, as he was now called, then retired step-by-step from his everyday work, dying in 1988 at the age of almost 82 – with production of the Mini by that time amounting to more than four million units.
Mini and the Monte Carlo Rally
It was the great sensation of the 1963/64 rally winter: A small red David with a white roof left all the ultra-powerful Goliaths behind, clinching its first overall win in the Monte Carlo Rally. Virtually overnight, this little "dwarf" had become a legend.
Wherever the Mini – either in standard trim, in the form of the Mini Cooper, or as a specially tuned performance car – entered a rally or any other motorsport event at the time, it was good for a great surprise. Indeed, these were the years in which the Mini caused one sensation after the other in the world of rally racing, showing its tail lights to many a would-be winner on tracks and circuits everywhere. So it is quite appropriate to say that the '60s were the decade of the Mini, far beyond official races and contests.
Just a bit more than six months after the Mini had made its debut in 1959, six Mini works cars entered the 1960 Monte Carlo Rally, with six more of these new young athletes being driven by private drivers. In 1962 Rauno Aaltonen, later to become world-famous as the "Flying Finn", entered Monte Carlo for the first time at the wheel of a Mini Cooper, subsequently being forced to retire after a spectacular accident. Two other names in the lists of participants were also destined to hit the headlines in connection with the Mini in the years to come: Timo Mäkinen and Patrick "Paddy" Hopkirk. In 1963 various Minis already came close to the top places in the Rally, but a year was still to pass before the real breakthrough.
In 1964 Paddy Hopkirk and his two Scandinavian colleagues joined forces for the first time in the same team. Putting up a great performance on several stages of the race, Paddy Hopkirk battled it out successfully against his far more powerful competitors, moving right up to the top of the field and finally securing first place in the fiercely contested "Night of Long Knives". Mini thus entered the history books, just like its three most famous drivers thrilling the spectators with their daredevil style of racing: Paddy Hopkirk, Timo Mäkinen, and Rauno Aaltonen.
A year later, in 1965, Finnish driver Timo Mäkinen and his co-pilot Paul Easter continued the Mini Cooper's story of success once again, winning the Monte Carlo Rally in supreme style: Mäkinen was the only driver in the entire field to complete thousands of kilometres without one penalty point despite very difficult and challenging snow conditions in the French Alps. In all, only 35 out of 237 cars reached the finish line – three of them were Minis. For the first time Mäkinen drove a Mini Cooper with the new 1275-cc engine later to become a genuine synonym for this particular model.
In 1966 the Mini Armada went for the hat trick. The four Cooper teams were the great favourites right from the start and attracted utmost interest from the public and the competition alike. So it was no surprise that they lived up to their role right from the start: Mäkinen, Aaltonen and Hopkirk quickly left the field behind, ultimately finishing the Rally first, second, and third. But then came one of the most contested and dubious decisions in the long history of the Monte Carlo Rally: In an eight-hour technical inspection, the Race Commissioners found that the four additional headlights fitted on the Mini Cooper's radiator grille were not fully commensurate with French homologation rules and disqualified the first three cars.
Notwithstanding this bitter decision, the Mini Cooper returned to the Monte Carlo Rally in 1967, the three musketeers Aaltonen, Hopkirk and Mäkinen being backed up by Simo Lampinen and Tony Fall. This time the "Flying Finn" Rauno Aaltonen won the race and all other Mini Coopers also saw the chequered flag, Hopkirk finishing sixth, Fall coming tenth, Lampinen reaching the finish line as No 15, and Mäkinen finishing in 41st place.
The armada of works Minis set out for Monaco for the last time in 1968. This time Aaltonen finished third in his Mini Cooper S, Fall coming fourth and Hopkirk fifth.
While this marked the end of an era, the legend remains to this day. Indeed, rally enthusiasts the world over know to this very day what "33 EJB" stands for – this was the numberplate on Paddy Hopkirk's Mini Cooper S, the winner of the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally.
Mini DNA in the MINI Challenge
Forty years on, nothing has changed. What once helped the Mini Cooper win the race to Monaco is still one of the most significant basic elements of the MINI Cooper: With its compact exterior dimensions it whips around corners incredibly quickly, resting firmly on its wide track and long wheelbase.
Clearly, driving behaviour of this kind simply begs for racing activities – which is why the John Cooper Challenge, the MINI Brand Trophy, thrills an increasing number of amateur racing drivers particularly in Britain, the MINI's home country. Several other countries have also followed this example and have established their own MINI challenges in the meantime. So just like they did 40 years ago, many young, up-and-coming drivers and talents are now gaining their initial experience and winning their first trophies at the wheel of a MINI.

Lamborghini Urus put on the back burner - report
CEO also hints at an Aventador Superleggera
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has revealed that the company isn't in a rush to build a production version of the Urus concept.
Speaking with Auto Express, Winkelmann said "the Urus isn't an immediate priority and won't happen until 2017 at the earliest." He added, "To be honest, we don't need it right now, as we have plenty of new cars available that are selling well and will continue to sell well." He also said the crossover would have to be approved by the company's board of directors which hasn't happened as of yet.
In related news, the executive hinted an Aventador Superleggera is in the works. When asked about the model, Winkelmann said "The Aventador is a powerful car, but there is always more. We have a few ideas for this car…"

There is no SUV like this anywhere, especially with a V10. I think it would sell very well even with the economy. The Wall Street and Bank Cartel will still be receiving bonuses and Congress does not want to raise taxes so they will still be in the %1 so bring it on!
Dec 2nd, 2012 1:52am
The only think I can tell about Urus is- ''Kill it, with a fire!'' Seriously if they will let this car to mass production I will never buy new Lamborghini because it will mean, that they are concerned more about profit and sales boost than their company spirit. In business it is not a bad think, but some product are known only because of company spirit they represent. Imagine Porsche building commercial Van... On other hand it wouldn't be very surprising if you know what I mean...

Discussion in 'Tampa Bay Rowdies' started by WhiteStar Warriors, Apr 15, 2010.
Time: 8:00 PM
Date: April 24, 2010
Location: NSC Stadium
Well Minnesota had a live feed over the weekend, maybe that's a good sign for the Rowdies match with them next. Following without the video feed is ok, but not quite the same.
Following D2 without a video feed, especially when its your team, is excruciating. There are no real match trackers or radio broadcasts to make up for it.
Minnesota by all reports has their shit together, so I'm not concerned.
sarcasm not intended, just understatement I suppose. I found a betting site that had seemingly real time updates on score and like the rest of us followed the match snippets on twitter. Hoping the video of the match makes it to the fctampabay website soon
As an aside, might I compliment both clubs on the snazzy crest designs. Classy stuff.
Now here's hoping FCTB crush those guys! Just looking at the schedule it looks like we may catch them in a vulnerable spot being that they play at PRI just two days before we roll up there. Hopefully they upload the CPB footage soon, I really want to get a sense of how well the team played together as a unit.
heh, ya we do have a decent looking crest. It will be interesting to see how Minnesota handles the travel and even though we are on the road for this one I like our chances for a second win.
Best time to play this lot is right now. They are gonna sweat their a$$es off in humid Puerto Rico then fly right back to freezing Minnesota. If they don't get the flu then our pressing will grind them into the turf. I like our chances in this one. We win it and we are in good shape!
Everyone come to the watch party in Centro Ybor at Rock N Sports grill and bar. We'll be gathering around 7:30 and streaming the game onto a giant 52 incher.
Possible links for webcast:
Back up for info on game day:
Sorta boring..
Would have been way better....
sorta snazzy...
Oh well...
My prediction... FCTBR 1 - mini-sota 1
But... if Two-Boys get in the game for mini-sota, I guess they will have 12 on the field? lol
You read correctly kids... Two-Boys. lol
Thanks SoccerPrime.
I can't see how you guys wont win. I went to the Islanders-Stars game tonight and they played horrible. I think you will take this one either 2-0 or 2-1.
They are a new team and playing away in rain-soaked tropical PR didn't help. I think Minnesota is dangerous at home. Also their starting GK went down so the new/old GK is working into the team. I think the Railhawks took them for granted too and look what happened.
ya, just no way of telling how we'll do. Hopefully the travel lag will help us, since the Stars will be on the their 3rd game in a week and we'll be fresh.
I hope for 3 points, but a draw is pretty good. As long as the team plays well then whatever the result its all good.
I think we take it 2-1, but obviously I'm a homer. Another win would be huge with the home opener only 2 weeks away. the buzz is really starting to build and a team that wins only means good things for ticket sales.
Yes, I saw some parts of the game through streaming, and could notice that the pitch was in very bad conditions
Yeah. Minnesota proved that they've come along way since Shattuck St. Marys in that game. They didn't play well enough that we should have lost (seriously, that has to have been the crappiest first half in RailHawks history), but they're not the joke I was worried they would be.
This game won't be a walk in the park for either team.
what was the penalty for?
how did we not get a penalty just then
i have no volume so i have no idea who that was but somone just had an immaculate lob pass through to our striker (im assuming wheeler) and he just had a horrible first touch and ruined a thing of beauty.
damn that was a sick free kick, just need to get a better head on it and we would be level
i didnt see the first half but did we dominate this much then too?
Arrgh, all this offensive pressure in the 2nd half and still no goal for TB?
gotta be close to the end, i cant hear the volume anyone know where we are at?
what a chance ......damn it, great defense there
daaaaamn again ...right at the keeper, we are creating chances like a mofo

When it comes to the types, quality, and depth
of guitar-freak content on the
market, we're pretty confident
no other media outlet matches
Premier Guitar. This isn't to
brag, it's to urge you to explore
outside your usual PG consumption zone. Sure, if you
grew up ogling glossy mags
at your local guitar shop or
bookstore, you may be perfectly
content to simply devour our
monthly print offering. It is,
after all, the biggest guitar mag
on newsstands each month. But
if you're that much of a glutton, why stop there? It's not like
you've had some sort of retinal-bypass surgery that limits how
much 6- and 4-string goodness
you can ingest. So let me tell
you about our daily specials.
Just to get it out of the way,let's discuss the content plat-form that's most controversialfor some of you print lovers:Facebook. I know, I know … Ican practically hear the eyeballsof skeptics and nonconformistsrolling around in their heads atthe mention of the vile F word.I laud your stand against TheMan, personal-data mining, andvoyeuristic time-wasting that sapsaway precious hours that wouldbe better spent with your guitar,your family, or a good book.And if you choose to remainunyielding in giving FB founderMark Zuckerberg the cyberbirdie even after I call out someof the benefits of "Liking" us onhis out-of-control brainchild,I'll applaud your principledstand—but I'll also ask you toplease not moan about our mul-tiplatform approach.
Pros: Sure to usher in world peace.
Cons: Peace = total sonic annihilation.
Company, product, price, website
Gear reviews now include pros, cons, and pick ratings in four categories.
route to ease the workaday
blues. Love the look of our
print mag but miss the ads and
the idea of flipping pages, try
our digital versions (digital.

also serving up choice archival
tidbits on Tumblr. In sum, we
work hard to make our mul-tiplatform smorgasbord pretty
damn tempting, so go ahead
and pig out—no shame here.
Ratings revised. Okay,
let's move on. Many of you
base buying decisions on our
reviews, so we've revised our
ratings system to be more practical. Many products received
3. 5–4. 5 picks (out of 5) under
our previous single-score system, which was useful for at-a-glance summations but also
obscured some nuance.
For instance, how should
a reviewer rate an affordable
guitar that has a few minor cosmetic flaws but sends everyone
who plays it to tonal heaven?
You guessed it—they average
what might've been a 3-pick
rating for build quality with
a 5-pick rating for tones, and
end up with a 4 or 4. 5. And
when you average assessments
of playability, innovation, feel,
build quality, and bang for the
buck, you inevitably end up
with a score that can seem like
we're treating manufacturers
with kid gloves. We're not. But
while some people want to see
us ruthlessly bash a product
in a cathartic rant that they
must believe will somehow rain
vicarious vengeance down upon
companies that put out crap
20 or 30 years ago, the truth is
that these days CNC construction and the ease of internet
research—for both builders and
consumers—has exponentially
improved the overall quality of
products on the market today.
So, while you or I may pick
up a guitar or plug into an amp
or pedal and immediately know
it's not for us, these days that's
usually due more to whether
it fits our style and level of
pickiness than whether it truly
sucks. We also go to great effort
to make sure each product is
reviewed by a player who's part
of the target audience. We don't
send jazz archtops to metal-heads, and we don't send high-gain amps to blues dudes.
Anyway, our new rating system includes brief summations
of a product's pros and cons,
as well as pick ratings (0– 5)
in four categories—Tones,
Build, Value, and Playability
(for instruments) or Ease of
Use (amps, effects, and other
devices) or Versatility (pickups).
Items with a total of 18 or
more picks (out of 20) win our
coveted Premier Gear Award.
We think you'll get more out
of this, and we welcome your
feedback. Pick a platform—any
platform—and write us!
