I crocheted what feels like a hundred potholders. I originally planned to participate in this year's Potholder Swap! but the timing just didn't work out. I had already made a bunch of little pieces, but then I got busy with the Graveyard Socks and other things. No swap for me. Sad, especially because last year I got the best bunch of potholders ever.
But then the yarn store I teach at, Common Threads Yarn Shop, decided to have a 'little cotton gifts' workshop. Potholders are, of course, the perfect little cotton gift. Yay! This Saturday (Apr. 10 from 11am – 2pm) I get to share my growing love for crochet with the masses at the yarn shop. The workshop is free, you don't need to sign up, and there will be free patterns for a number of little cotton gifts.
The pattern for my little potholders is based on and inspired by Bea Aarebrot's Crochet Potholder pattern. With Bea's permission, I will be publishing my own version, complete with five edging choices, and offering it for free download. I'm polishing up the pattern as we speak, and should post it by the beginning of next week.
Another project I've been working on is my Saroyan Shawl. I'll be teaching a project class for the shawl on April 17th at Common Threads. The design is fantastic, fun to knit, and I used a really, really fun yarn – Silky Wool (or as Cindy calls it, Silly Wool).
looks better on the dress form than on me
Keep an eye out for the free crochet pattern! It'll be ready soon…

CAPE VINCENT The town has proposed a new fee structure for Water District 6 in hopes of luring back property owners wanting to opt out.
For grant application purposes, Cape Vincent had proposed to expand Water District 6 to include 20 additional Pleasant Valley Road properties.
The proposed expansion, however, met with backlash from upset property owners who already had been drawing water from the village of Cape Vincent as outside users and would not benefit from the multimillion-dollar project.
Under a new fee proposal drafted by Bernier, Carr and Associates, Watertown, outside users with up-to-date water infrastructure added to Water District 6 are estimated to pay less than half of what properties now without municipal water would be spending on the service.
While the municipal water service is projected to cost $558 annually for residents now without potable water, outside users with all the adequate infrastructure would pay only $248 per year. Owners of vacant lots in the district would pay $35 per year under the proposal.
Engineers estimate that the per-year cost to be included in Water District 6 would be about $9 lower than what outside users now are paying for village water.
However, at least one longtime Pleasant Valley Road homeowner who purchases water from the village argued that the engineers estimate is misleading.
Thomas K. Rienbeck, a former town supervisor and outside user, said he pays less than $200 a year for village water. He said he spent $192 over the past 12 months but also acknowledged that a household with children likely would pay a little more.
I have no interest in this thing because of the way they went about it and because it brings me no benefit, Mr. Rienbeck said. And for them to say theyre going to look out for our health and safety is bogus.
For months, town property owners near the villages western boundary have argued that they were added to an expanded Water District 6 without their consent to make the $2.8 million project more affordable for the original districts residents.
But Matthew J. Cooper of Bernier, Carr suggested at a February Town Council meeting that properties connected to the villages water line should be part of a formal district regardless, because the village of Cape Vincent was notified several years ago by the state Department of Environmental Conservation that it did not have a permit to sell water to outside users.
Councilman John L. Byrne had said that while he believes properties that are hooked to the villages municipal water system and are up to code in terms of infrastructure should not be forced to join Water District 6, they should at least consider being part of the district in case DEC decides to enforce the rules.

You know blood circulates in your body and that without it you could not live. What you may not know, however, is that aside from being a vital nutritive substance blood can also be a cause of pain. In fact, many forms of pain, illness and disease can be linked to, or are caused by, what I refer to as "bad blood."
Bad blood is when blood is in a state that can harm the body. These states are found in the form of "excesses" (e.g., too many toxins), "stagnations" (e.g., trigger points), and "deficiencies" (e.g., low levels of oxygen). The following list of common ailments related to the quality of blood paints a picture of how many different issues are related to the quality of our blood.
- 25.1 million Americans live with heart disease
- 32 percent of Americans suffer hypertension
- 12 percent of females over age 20 are deficient in iron
- 16 percent of adults have high-cholesterol
- One in six Americans contract arthritis
- 26 million Americans, between ages 20 and 64, suffer back pain
Pain is among the top reported reasons patients visit their primary care physicians. In fact, 150 million Americans suffer chronic pain annually. The chronic experience of pain is responsible for the billion-dollar nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) industry. (These are pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.)
There are many causes of pain including stress, injury, tight or pulled muscles, a sedentary lifestyle, inflammation, acid/alkaline imbalance and trigger points. All of these affect the quality and motility (or spontaneous movement) of blood and/or can be caused by bad blood.
Blood is an essential body fluid that serves two purposes. It rejuvenates cells by bringing to them substances like oxygen and nutrients and it cleans cells by carrying away their toxic waste products. When body processes are hindered by incorrect diet, lack of water, stress, high acidity levels, trauma or disease, then blood's role in maintaining homeostasis (body balance) is hindered… and pain, including back pain, is the result.
Food is such an important piece of the good blood equation. Blood plasma is a liquid component of blood that contains sugars, proteins, minerals and other substances. A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and high in whole grains will do much to provide depth of nutrients to build blood. But blood also needs soluble fiber to clean it and insoluble fiber to remove toxins from the body through the stools. A nutrient deficient diet can cause bad blood which then can cause back pain.
Water is also an important component of good blood because plasma, which is 90 percent water by volume, actually comprises 55 percent of the blood fluid. Drinking plenty of fluids is a holistic way of relieving and preventing back pain.
But not all fluids are created equal. Beverages like coffee, tea, energy drinks and sodas are loaded with caffeine, sugars and chemicals that not only act as diuretics (transporting too much fluid from the blood) but are also high in toxins. These toxins, if they remain in the blood, cause bad blood — stagnations in blood motility (movement rate) via inflammation while also causing blood to become too acidic.
Indeed, maintaining the proper acid/alkaline equation (or pH balance) in the blood is an essential component to the blood/back pain connection. When blood acid levels are too high, muscle contractions can result. When muscles contract they cause limited range of motion and put pressure on nerves, prevent fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients to enter the tissue and prevent the efficient removal of carbon dioxide and other toxic substance from it. All of this causes pain.
If blood alkaline is raised and acid reduced, then muscle relaxation occurs. This allows for pain relief through the proper absorption of nutrients and transportation of waste products from the blood and tissues. Maintaining a blood pH of 7.4 is an essential component of pain-free living.
The negative effects of stress are also a leading cause of bad blood in pain. Stress constricts muscles in the body, lowers the amount of oxygen and increases acidity levels in the blood and tissues in the body. Deep breathing relaxation techniques not only reduce stress levels but also control pH. Stress causes shallow breathing and limited respiration, thus causing pain. Breathing exercises reverse this process.
Many chronic pain sufferers are fast to grab over-the-counter NSAIDs for temporary relief; and doctors advise their use. Yet these actually cause more long-term harm than short-term good. NSAIDs leave toxins in the blood, causing bad blood. They can also cause intestinal bleeding and are harmful to those suffering high blood pressure and kidney disease. Other painkillers, like acetaminophen, are harmful to the liver (which cleanses the blood) and the kidneys (which help move toxins out of the body) and do not reduce inflammation — three reasons to avoid taking it.
So what are the solutions to correcting bad blood in those suffering pain? The answer is found in a comprehensive overhaul of diet (food and water), breathing exercises for stress relief and oxygenation of blood and regular exercise to stimulate blood flow and removal of toxins. Along the way, safe temporary relief can be found by visiting massage therapists, acupuncturists and other bodywork practitioners, as well as engaging in yoga, tai chi and meditation. In the end, keeping your blood clean and moving in the tissues are positive steps toward back pain relief and prevention.
— Dr. Mark Wiley

Clubsport Coilover Lowering Kit with 0.8"-2.0" Front and 0.4"-1.5" Rear Body Drop (35245814) by KW Suspensions®, 2-Way Adjustable, with Front and Rear Top Mounts. Top Mount Adjustability: None. This is a set of front and rear integrated twin-tube coilovers with multiple settings for ride height. 2-way adjustment provides separate, manual adjustment for both compression and rebound rates to further optimize vehicle load, tire characteristics and different track conditions. 100% street legal for the enthusiast who participates in track day events but also needs to drive their vehicle to work every day.
Notes: Threaded Struts Adjust Front and Rear Height.
- Set of front and rear twin-tube coilovers with adjustability for ride height
- Provides separate, manual adjustment for both compression and rebound rates
- Optionally available with adjustable aluminum top mounts
- 100% street legal for the enthusiast who participates in track day events but also needs to drive their vehicle to work every day
- Shock absorbers are a twin-tube dampening design formed of an inner tubular element within an outer tubular element
- Comes with an external adjustment wheel that is manually turned near the top of the shock absorber (some vehicle applications may require the use of a wrench that is included)
- Track-oriented coil springs are constructed with a multi-level tempering process (annealing, shot blasting, jigging, UV-test, phosphate coating, EPS coating) for optimal durability and minimized jigging characteristics
- Composite polyamide spring plates and ring nuts are light weight, corrosion-free, and effectively dampen vibrations and road noise
- Corrosion-free stainless steel spring strut casing features dirt-resistant threads to ensure easy adjustment in all climates and dust levels
- Features a high-quality elastomer synthetic compression buffer/additional spring with integrated dust cap that protects against grit and the elements
- Reduces body roll, nose dive, and rear squat
- Set ride height high or low equally on each corner, or stagger ride height unevenly for oval race track use
The Clubsport Coilover Lowering Kit is designed for the modern performance car enthusiast who takes their car to the track on weekends and drives it to work every day. This set of front and rear coilovers comes with manual adjustment knobs mounted on each shock absorber that let you adjust both the compression and rebound rates. Lower all four shock absorbers identically for aggressive driving on the street, or set one side of the vehicle differently for oval track racing. During street commuting when springs are extended to full ride height, ride comfort is restored. During performance driving when the coilovers are hunkered down, they effectively maintain a higher level of tire contact on the ground – maintaining grip and reducing body roll for faster times through turns.
Clubsport Coilover Lowering Kit shock absorbers feature a twin-tube dampening design formed of an inner tubular element within an outer tubular element for superior performance. Fitted coil springs are constructed with a multi-level tempering process that includes an annealing stage which heats the metal, then allows it to cool slowly in order to minimize internal stresses and increase strength. Metal is then shot blasted to remove surface imperfections and coated with a durable outer finish to minimize vibrations and resist corrosion. Most strut casings are made from corrosion-free stainless steel and feature dirt-resistant threads to ensure easy adjustment in all climates and dust levels. A high-quality elastomer synthetic compression buffer serves as an additional spring, and an integrated dust cap ensures grit and the elements never reach inner valve assemblies.3,999.99Brand: KW Suspensions Part Number: 35245814 UPC: 842607062964
Founded in 1995 in Germany, KW Automotive GmbH has grown from a small workshop-based manufacturer into a global leader and manufacturer of adjustable suspension coilovers and other related products. The secret of KW's success has come from the relentless development and testing that has consistently led to superior products and created satisfied customers. For example, KW uses a state-of-the-art 7-post dynamic test stand to simulate the most grueling racetrack conditions that coilover shocks and springs could possibly face. One of only a handful of such test stands in the world used by Formula 1 teams, KW engineers have put it to effective use refining and perfecting dampening levels of shock absorber compression and rebound. This ensures KW coilovers will give you durability and the fine-tuned ride quality you seek for your car or truck. KW has co-developed suspension products with Mercedes AMG, Rousch Mustangs, and Dodge's Viper SRT10 to name a few, and their products have helped achieve victories in Nürburgring 24 hour races, BFGoodrich long distance championships, World Touring Car Championships, FIA GT races and more. CARiD offers the best values you'll find on a full lineup of KW Suspensions coilover kits, hydraulic lift coilovers, sway bar components, and individual replacement parts which prove that lowered style and ride comfort are not mutually exclusive.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Training Day Long Sleeve No Zip Technical Tops:
Purchased the size Large. I am 5'9, 188lbs and wear size large, 17 dress shirt and 44R jacket. I really like this shirt. It fits close to the body w/o being tight. I wear it for running on cool mornings and its a great shirt. The sleeve length falls just below the wrist and have no thumb holes. I get frustrated and return many shirts and jackets because the length of the body is too long. Hangs almost down to the lower crocth area, but I really like this length,down to mid zipper.Also I think any shirt that has spandex in it fits better because it has a little strecth to it. Good shirt.

Two companies can offer you rates that differ by hundreds or even thousands of dollars, even though they are looking at the same information.
Just how are your car insurance rates established?
Insurance companies make educated guesses about how likely you are to file a claim by poring over data, then determining a base rate that applies to broad categories of drivers, such as men under the age of 25 living in Sacramento, Calif. They then look at the individual factors that change the likelihood of a claim, assigning a risk factor to each.
The algorithm each company creates must be filed with and approved by your state's insurance regulator.
While auto insurance companies tend to use the same basic criteria, they weigh the various risk factors differently. One insurance company might have had fewer claims for theft for your particular car, for example, or more fraudulent injury claims in your neighborhood. These risk factors can include:
- Vehicle type
- Vehicle use (personal or business use and how many miles driven per year)
- Geographical location
- Age
- Gender
- Marital status
- Driving record
- Claims history
- Years of driving experience
- Credit history (in states that allow it to be used)
- Previous insurance coverage
- Coverage types, limits and deductibles
[Let CarInsurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now.]
Your premium may rise or fall with a change in any one of these rating factors.
Drivers are normally grouped according to their level of risk. For example, when you turn 25 it's likely you will be placed in a different group with your auto insurer -- one with a lower base rate since those over age 25 tend to be in fewer accidents.
A change in rating factors may lower your premium, but technically it is not a discount.

Satriani and Marshall tweaked a classic to create a new generation of tone.
The Marshall JVM410H Joe Satriani Edition 100W head is an addition to the Marshall Signature Series. Marshall's R&D engineers worked vefry closely with Satriani to craft the JVM410HJS. After much experimentation and an assortment of trials that involved Satriani using prototypes during recording and touring, they signed off on the final version and the JVM410HJS went into production.
The most notable difference from the original JVM410 is that the reverb pots have been replaced with four nose gates, one for each channel, and each with their own threshold. A Mid Shift button has been added and can be used with both the OD1 and OD2 channels.
The Clean channel is based on the 6100 when on the green mode, with the orange and red modes being hotter variations. The Crunch channel takes the original JVM410 crunch and adds some of the popular Marshall "AFD" circuit to it. The OD channels are voiced identically, based on the JVM410 OD1 but with the gain scaled back slightly and a smoother transition between modes. The Mid Shift button determines the difference in mid character between the original JVM410 OD1 and OD2 tone, moving the mids from around 650khz (Mid Shift off) to around 500khz (Mid Shift on).
The JVM410HJS is powered by EL34 tubes and has two Master volumes, the supplied footswitch allows you to switch between Channels, Modes, Master Volumes, FX loop and now the Noise Gates and Mid Shift as well. There is also a full MIDI implementation.

There are not enough great things to say about this amp. I received literally as I was leaving the house to go to rehearsal for a gig the next day. What the hell, I just loaded the unopened box into my vehicle and took it to rehearsal. Took me 5 minutes to figure out the switching and dialed in 4 great tones plus boost using the 2nd Master Volume control. Noise gates are amazing. I can't believe every high gain amp doesn't employ these. Super flexible tone capabilities. Just a Fire-Breathing Monster of an amp!!!

The best Marshall ever. I have gigged with the original JVM410H for years and it sounds great. It was a bit of a noisy beast on the high gain channels. Then I tried the new JVM410HJS the those noise gates make a huge difference. Not to mention that this amp is punchier and cleaner sounding. Thanks Joe Satriani for making the best amp any guitarist could ask for. This amp is staying with me for life!!!

Comments about Marshall JVM410HJS Joe Satriani Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I searched far and wide for this amp at my local music stores to try it out before buying it. I perform in the Washington DC area and many of my band's gigs are played with sketchy power. Hum is a constant issue (although I now have a top end Furman) and the noise gates appealed to me. All I can say is "Wow!". I bought it without playing it and was a bit worried laying down this kind of money for an amp that I have no idea about. No more. The clean channel is amazing and the crunch channel delivers. My top of the line front end pedals (many are keeley modded) sound wonderful! Oh, and with the Furman, I don't need to engage the noise gates (but they are there for me if I do). I use it with an Orange cabinet (2x12 16 ohm)for ease of transport or my Marshall (4x12) when I am doing larger venues. I expect that it will be like my flying Vee, a piece of equipment that I own forever. Amazing tone from an amazing amp. What's not to like! Great job Joe!!!!

Comments about Marshall JVM410HJS Joe Satriani Tube Guitar Amp Head:
The honeymoon period is over & I still play it for HOURS a day! I love it, a keeper for sure. The BEST all around head I have ever played through or owned. It has every tone I will ever need and they ALL sound great! Finding the nearly perfect amp I could afford was a long journey. Here is a list of some other high gain heads I have owned or have had some experience with -
Blackstar HT Stage 100 (pretty good head)
Bogner Ubershall (killer but pricey)
Bugera 333 (tone=great;quality=crap)
Bugera 1990 (still own it but see above...)
Carvin V3 (nice amp, a poor man's Boogie)
Egnater Vengeance (tone=crap IMO)
Jet City JCA50 (still own it;best Chinese-made head for tone & quality)
Jet City JCA100 (great gain channel,great quality)
Marshall DSL100 (decent clean & crunch but the lead channel wasn't so hot,IMO)
Marshall JCM800 Reissue (one-trick pony)
Marshall Mode 4 (horrible head;nice cab though)
Mesa Boogie Tri Axis preamp with
Mesa Boogie Simul-Class290 power amp (overrated & VERY expen$ive)
of course...
a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (IF you can dial it in... a great lead tone with one of the worst clean channels out there & a bad FX loop OVERRATED!!)
The Blackstar had a solid state-ish tone I could never really love. I was never impressed by the Mesa rack stuff especially for the $$. The Ubershall has one of the best distortion tones I've ever heard & a nice clean as well. However, it is expensive, also a bit stiff & unforgiving and has limited switching functions. The Carvin has a nice clean and the best effects loops on any amp I ever used. Very versatile. I'm very impressed by the tone and build quality of the Jet City amps, but they have limited funtions. I could never coax a tone I really liked from the Marshall DSL. The JCM800 is a one trick pony. The same can be said about the Rectifier. So I tried the JVM410H and loved it, especially the clean channel. The crunch wasn't so good. The overdrive channel is great except for the uncontrollable feedback and loud hiss at just about any volume. It was totally useless with the gain past 10 o'clock. It's not worth the price unless you can mod it yourself. So I waited...
When the JS version came out I didn't immediately jump on board because I'm not a Satch fan. I really like classic metal & hard rock tones. (Priest, Sabbath, Queen and "newer" stuff like Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, early Megadeth, Metallica's first three albums etc) and the JVM410HJS delivers that tone in spades. And more!
A review of the channels -
CLEAN - This is the Marshall 30th Anniversary 6100's clean channel, Joe's favorite clean tone. I find it a bit bright in the green mode so I use the amber mode which is a bit darker but still very clean. I don't use the red mode much, it has a lot more gain & volume. Overall this is a very good and useable clean tone that takes pedals well. Better than either Ubershall or Carvin V3 IMO. I really liked the clean on the original JVM but I think this will cut through a mix better during a live set.
CRUNCH - I LOVE this channel. Words can't describe it. The clean & crunch channels alone are better than most amps on the market today! Green mode is a type of JMP tone. Amber nails the JCM800. Red is a "modded" 800. Similar to the AFD circuit on the Slash head. All three modes are awesome. Some of the best rock, hard rock & classic metal tones can be found right here.
OD1 & OD2 - Unlike the stock JVM, the JS has both OD channels voiced the same. Brilliant! For fans of the stock OD2- BOTH channels can use a switchable mid-shift button to get the EQ curve of the original OD2! Awesome! The OD channels were the downside of the original. The gain was unusable past 10 o'clock or so. It would hiss and feedback like crazy. Even the ISP Decimator didn't fully eliminate this. The JS has reduced the gain a bit and now the entire gain range is usable. This channel CAN do metal BTW. It has a very heavy but refined tone.
Extras -
NOISE GATES - These are a God-send. These work better than an ISP Decimator. I think the inclusion of separate studio quality noise reduction FOR EACH CHANNEL puts this amp over the top. The hiss is gone and the only feedback one gets is controllable (the kind you want)
FOOTSWITCH - Preset memory. Connects to the amp using a standard guitar cord. It seems to be built very strong. The JVM series are also midi switchable so instead of the included footswitch I'm using a Behringer 1010 Midi Foot-control Board for presets, master volumes, effects etc.
PROGRAMABLE SERIES EFFECTS LOOP - A T.C.Electronics G-Major through the loop of this head with a JCM900 4x12 cab (The amp was voiced using this cab with stock speakers. The scooped tone of these speakers mesh perfectly with the pronounced midrange this head produces.)....................
It even comes with a nice looking cover to protect it when the amp isn't being used! So far I haven't used the cover, I can't stop playing it long enough!
OVERALL GRADE; A - ...Nothing is perfect, but this is close...

Comments about Marshall JVM410HJS Joe Satriani Tube Guitar Amp Head:
This is a stunning joe satriani tuned Mk2 version of the original flawed JVM. This amp runs silent with the noise gates activated. Marshall should ditch the original JVM and just sell the satch version, then reel out a combo, 2 channel and 50watt variants.
I would also like to see a rack mounted stereo preamp version of this amp to partner with the EL34 20/20 50/50 and 100/100 power amps.
The amp has loads more grunt compared to the original JVM, I find it too loud for home use, 9pm master volume and 12pm channel volume hurts the ears. I am using the excellent 1960A-DM 4x12 cab.
Build quality seems to be better then the orginal.
Overall this is a stunning must have modern 4 channel Marshall.

Comments about Marshall JVM410HJS Joe Satriani Tube Guitar Amp Head:
Well, First let me say that this is my first tube amp I have ever owned, and I took almost a year to research and try every tube amp I could get a hold of, and this amp was exactly what I was looking for. I tried Engl Powerballs, Carvin V3's, EVH 5150's , Mesa Boogie Roadking and Mark V' etc. and then I tried a Marshall 410H. The tone blew me away with the tightness it produced and searing gain, but......It was a noisy, hissing, out of control mess. I ultimately bought the JVM410HJS based on the reviews that it was the "upgraded" version of the 410H, and I have had it about 3 weeks, and I must say I completely agree. No noise, no hiss, the amount of gain is tremendous, and has noise gates if you really need them to completely stop any noise or hiss, which they do great. There are plenty of reviews on this amp available with a little searching online, so I will not go into that here. I have seen where some folks have said that the gain on this amp is not as much as the 410H. Well, what I would say is not all the gain on the 410H is usable, on the 410HJS it is. There is plenty of gain here for modern metal and probably by adding a touch of overdrive pedal (like a Tube screamer in front) can take the amp into death metal territory. The crunch channel is one of my favorites, and gives that great JCM 800 and Hot Rodded sound reminiscent of 80's hard rock and metal bands. I bought a restock head, and it came from musician friend looking, smelling and acting like brand new. Everything works great. And I purchased a 3 year warranty which covers any problems at all. I'll post an update as I use the amp more, but would say that the distortion is tight, maybe not as tight as the 410H, but when I added an overdrive pedal feeding in, the attack "feel" was much crisper). Playing the OD channels in orange or red modes has a quite tight feel. So, if you are considering the 410h and don't want to struggle with controlling the noise/hiss, consider this amp. Joe Satriani, basically corrected this amp's weaknesses and improved it by simply backing off the gain slightly and adding noise gates. This amp really roars, so be kind to your neighbors. Channel Volume and Master Volumes allow you to drive the channels while keeping the amp volume low should you desire, but you really need to crank it up to really appreciate the tones of the amp. I am using no effects or signal processors at all with the amp, just my John Petrucci Music Man Guitar, and It sounds killer. I play mainly classic rock and progressive/power metal, and this amp is perfect for this.

Comments about Marshall JVM410HJS Joe Satriani Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I've had this amp for about 2 weeks. I read all of the reviews in the magazines and must say it lives up to all of the hype. Very versatile-you can get so many different sounds out of it-from amazing cleans to down and dirty metal. There is no reverb, Joe replaced it with noise gates-and they work wonderfully. The 6-button pedal is so easy to program. The silent recording mode works great! It's expensive, but it works wonderfully, is built like a tank (in England, not subcontracted to a pacific nation) and provides wonderful tones. The master volume allows you to crank the channel volumes and still maintain your sanity when practicing in a smaller environment without the need for a power brake or hot plate. All in all, there are very few musical items I have spent this much for that I have felt were worth every penny...but this is one of them. Have played through it with my '57 Les Paul Reissue and '99 American Strat, both sounded amazing. Utilizing the crunch channel with my Kramer Nightswan brought back the 80's by sounding like the shredder guitar being played through a cranked JCM800...and there's still the two OD channels after that. If you are considering this amp and you have the means to get it, don't hesitate...it's worth it!

We at Parker Sanpei are so proud of our friends at Il Cortile Ristorante in Paso Robles. Last weekend, 13 riders from the restaurant, including Owner and Managing Partner, Carole MacDonal, raced with 150 cyclists in the Tour of Paso to raise funds for the Central Coast Cancer Support Community. Nearly doubling their contribution from last year, the team at Il Cortile Ristorante raised a staggering $20K in support of the Cancer Support Community's free resources to local cancer patients and their families. Charitable contributions for the event totaled over $100K, up $30K from last year.
Fundraising at Il Cortile included proceeds from a special "reverse wine dinner" menu crafted by Chef Santos MacDonal and his kitchen, as well as proceeds from the sale of complementing wine, L'Aventure Optimus 2011 Zinfandel. Additionally, servers at the critically-acclaimed restaurant generously donated all tips from the dinner toward Il Cortile's efforts in support of the Cancer Support Community.
This year marks the third that Il Cortile has contributed toward and participated in the Tour of Paso. In 2012, the team raised over $5K, and $12K in 2013.
Thank you so much to all of those who participated in the event, especially our friends at Il Cortile. Your generosity is making a difference in our community. Bravi!

You might look into the gimp-print deal in the CUPS printing system.
Hi there,
I'm a Linux-newbie. I installed ELX-linux (great!) a few days ago, but I can't print.
I installed my CANON BCJ-3000 and was able to print a beautiful testpage. I can also print with Kview.
When I try to print in Gimp, nothing happens, even though I see a canon-driver when I start Gimp. I can't print in Openoffice too. (Only when I use the generic driver, but the outcome is awfull).
When I look in the CUPS-logfile I get something like
"resource "/printer/canon" no good!"
Please help me, because I want to keep using ELX!
Marcel :-[.
You might look into the gimp-print deal in the CUPS printing system.
Could you be a bit more specific?
I'm a newbie, you know.
I switched to mandrake 8.0 (had it laying around)
but still no action with Gimp. When I select a starting and
ending banner, the banners are printed, but not the gimp-image!
What can I do?

English and Math Proficiency Continues to Increase for California's Eleventh Graders
Number of students proficient in math nearly doubles in seven-year span
Claudia Keith or
Mike Uhlenkamp
(562) 951-4800
(September 13, 2012) – California State University announced today that its Early Assessment Program (EAP) testing results for 2012 show the number of eleventh graders ready for college level English and math continues to increase since the voluntary test was launched in 2006. Nearly 39,000 more students are demonstrating proficiency in English than when EAP testing was first instituted while the number of high school juniors who are ready for college level math has nearly doubled in that same time span.
With seven years (2006-2012) of complete testing data available, key findings include:
- The EAP participation rate has increased by 10 percentage points with 82% of high school juniors taking the voluntary test. The number of students participating in the voluntary assessment has increased by 70,000 students to more than 386,000 statewide.
- There has been a steady increase both in the number of students taking at least Algebra II and in the EAP math results. Almost two-thirds of public high school juniors completed Algebra II (needed to be eligible for CSU in 2012), and the number of students demonstrating proficiency in math has increased by 88 percent since 2006.
"Obtaining a college degree is more important than ever and the continued increase in participation rates shows that students are utilizing EAP testing as a key tool to gauge their readiness for college," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed.
Overall, the number of students participating in the math portion increased from just over 137,000 to surpassing 200,000 for the first time. Although the math proficiency rate remains at 15 percent, the number of students ready for college level math topped 30,000 for the first time.
In English, the number of students participating rose from 312,167 to over 383,000 (a participation rate of 87 percent of all juniors), while the number of students gauged as college ready increased from 48,072 (15 percent) to 86,939 (23 percent).
"Knowing their strengths and weaknesses before heading off to college gives students confidence in their abilities as well as time to improve areas of concern," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. "EAP testing is an ideal early warning system that can help create greater success and better results."
EAP Math
While the proficiency rate has increased by a modest 3 percentage-points, the number of students ready for college-level math has increased from 16,120 to 30,426, an increase of approximately 88 percent.
EAP English
Participation in EAP English is up to 87 percent statewide. Proficiency rates are up to 23 percent, and there were 86,939 students demonstrating college readiness in 2012. The spring 2012 EAP English test included a new category, English Conditional, that assessed students as ready for college-level English if they successfully complete a full senior year in an Expository Reading and Writing Course, an Advanced Placement English class or the International Baccalaureate. Nearly 60,000 high school seniors whose EAP scores show they were "conditionally ready" will be able to use their senior year to become fully prepared in English.
The EAP is a collaborative effort between the CSU, California Department of Education, and the California State Board of Education. The goal is to ensure that the state's college-bound high school seniors are college ready and have mastered the content skills in English and mathematics taught by California's K-12 teachers. Administered as a voluntary assessment of college readiness as part of the California Standards Test (CST), EAP tests help high school students determine if they are on track for college level math and English. By receiving results prior to their final year of high school, students can make better use of their senior year to prepare them for college. English testing is optional for 11th graders and math testing is optional for those students who are enrolled in Algebra II.
In addition, a key component of the Early Assessment Program focuses on facilitating professional development for K-12 teachers by preparing them to teach expository reading and writing. It also prepares teachers to align 12th grade math instruction with CSU's expectations for entry-level students.

Due to the outbreak of EHV-1 (equine herpes virus) the Carbon County Fairgrounds along with most facilities in the state will be closed to all Horse Activities until at least June 1.
"Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause, but until this has run its course your horse is safer at home," said Rhonda Peterson of the county Events Center and Fairgrounds.
The state veterinarian's office reports that as of Noon May 23 there were four quarantined facilities (Box Elder, Davis, Kane, and Utah counties) with a total of seven confirmed cases and eight suspect cases on these premises. Two of the cases were humanely euthanized after going down and unable to return to their feet.
The veterinarian notes that signs associated with this disease include fever, decreased coordination, nasal discharge, urine dribbling, loss of tail tone, hind limb weakness, leaning against a wall or fence to maintain balance, lethargy, and the inability to rise.
Horse owners should watch their horses carefully and call their veterinarian immediately if any abnormal signs are observed.
Horses that attended the Ogden event or have been in contact with horses that attended the event should be isolated and a minimum of two temperatures taken and recorded per day on each horse.
Notify your veterinarian of any temperature abnormalities or symptoms. If there is any increase in body temperature or abnormal clinical signs in any of your horses, notify your veterinarian immediately.
We are not recommending the cancellation of any events involving horses, mules, and/or burros at this time.
Utah has not changed its importation requirements for horses, mules, and/or burros entering the state.
There was only one horse euthanized at the Ogden event and the horse was diagnosed with a developmental
abnormality of the spine. Testing of the cerebrospinal fluid on this patient was negative for EHV-1 agent.
The equine herpesvirus, called EHV-1, disease is not transmissible to humans or other animals other than
equine (horses, mules, burros) or camelid (llamas, alpacas, camels) species.
The virus is contagious between camelids and horses and cannot be spread to other animals such as cats and
dogs. EHV-1 may cause only mild, flu-like illness in many cases, but some horses may become seriously ill with
respiratory or neurologic disease. EHV-1 may be fatal in some severely infected horses. The most common way for
EHV-1 to spread is by direct horse-to-horse contact. The virus also can spread through the air, contaminated
equipment, clothing and hands.

Think of it as insight via ever-changing obsessions; the things we love directly reflect our state of mind. So what are we currently mooning over and what do those fixations mean? Regarding the former, we can't stop thinking about things like a smart new line of sunglasses, three perfect polishes, and a quartet of killer bags created by personal-style blogger stars for Coach. As for the latter, well, you'll just have to wonder...
Skova Jewelry Design African Kudo Necklace ($142)
Since summer dressing typically requires an absence of layers, it's the perfect time to amp up your jewelry. We can think of no better way to do just that than with this statement piece from Skova. It's an ideal accessory option because it lets you incorporate a little of-the-moment toughness into your repertoire without spending tons of money. Plus, it looks amazing when worn with other metals, so feel free to mix it in with other pieces.
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color ($23 each) in Nouvelle Vague, Rivera, and Mistral
While we're pedicure devotees year-round, when the weather warms up, suddenly finding the perfect polish gets upgraded from a semi-important task to a wildly compelling one. In times like these, we always turn to the fashion and beauty gurus at Chanel for direction and they haven't failed us yet. Their summer collection is particularly fetching, especially the minty turquoise hue of Nouvelle Vague.
Zimmermann Thorn Lattice Triangle Bikini ($220)
Zimmermann is one of the best Australian exports out there and the brand's invariably strong swimwear collection never fails to impress. They always turn out runway-ready styles and are our go-to resource for cool silhouettes and unique prints. But don't take our word for it: check out the Zimmermann sections on Shopbop and Net-A-Porter to see all of the line's in-stock options.
Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+ ($32)
Fast-drying, non-greasy, ultra-light liquid sunscreen is the big thing in the world of sun protection, but Kiehl's new Super Fluid UV Defense isn't just on-trend, it's also amazing. In addition to protecting against both UVA and UVB rays, it's oil-free, water-resistant, and the formula is so fab Katherine says it makes her "actually excited to put on sunscreen." Woah! Apply it after your moisturizer (or instead of, if you prefer) and before your makeup for daily defense against the rays!
Coach Blogger Bags ($398-$498)
The brilliant team at Coach enlisted four personal-style bloggers to each create their own limited-edition must-have bag and the results are truly tremendous. What Is Reality Anyway's Krystal Simpson dreamed up a fabulous Fringe Shoulder Bag ($498), while The Glamourai's Kelly Framel designed a putty faux croc Drawstring Pouch ($398) that's just darling. Karla Deras of Karla's Closet went for an Oversized Clutch ($398) with a detachable strap, while Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere came up with a sophisticated Satchel ($498) in pale pink leather. Support this top-notch effort and pre-order your favorites now-they're scheduled to ship on June 2nd-otherwise you can buy directly on that date on Coach's site. New York City readers, if you're in the city on June 8th, Coach is hosting an event at their 595 Madison Avenue location from 5-7 p.m. with all four ladies. Stop by to shop and meet Emily, Karla, Kelly, and Krystal in person!
Freeway Sunglasses ($100, 310.274.8800)
There's never a shortage of new brands in the ultra-competitive eyewear market, but only one collection made it on our radar this season: Freeway. Designed by artist Alex Israel, the LA-based line is comprised of six perfectly executed styles, most of which are named after the city's key thoroughfares. We shot the 405s (in glossy black frames with dark lenses) and the 15s (in glossy gray with mirrored lenses) for today's story, but we highly suggest checking out all the frames. They're affordable, understated, and deeply cool-just what sunglasses should be.
Equipment Signature Washed Silk Blouse ($178)
Of all the many borrowed-from-the-boys button-ups available right now, Equipment's version is definitely at the very tippy top of our list. The fit is truly flattering on a wide range of frames, while the washed silk offers a feminine counterpoint to the menswear-inspired shape.
Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Platforms ($145) in Caramel
We've been smitten with Sophia Amoruso's cult boutique Nasty Gal for years and definitely adore her buying taste. Unsurprisingly, we were flat out elated to find these knockout platforms by footwear powerhouse Jeffrey Campbell on her site. They're also available in black, but the caramel color is exclusive to her online shop, so pick them up asap. We have a feeling we're not the only ones who think these leather and wood t-strap heels are a must buy!
The Selby Is In Your Place by Todd Selby ($23)
As long-time subscribers to photographer Todd Selby's home-design blog, The Selby, and huge fans of his work (including Cole Haan's current killer campaign), we are super excited about his first book. The Selby Is In Your Place is like a personal-space version of The Sartorialist and includes previously unseen shots from the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Lou Doillion, and Christian Louboutin. It's a must-buy and makes a great hostess gift, so pick up a few copies today!

"Ben Harper Gears Up For U.S. Tour, Live Album" is in the headlines in today's news at billboard.com.
p.s. The Jack Johnson opening for Ben is a singer/songwriter, not Mos Def's new band.
Go to MTV Online for an article published today regarding the upcoming live release.
Hello all at .net. Happy Holidays and New Year. I would like to thank everyone for making this year what it has been for myself and the Innocent Criminal crew. Your coming out to the shows, and keeping in touch on the web is amazing for us to see and be a part of. I hope through music we (Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals) continually reflect our gratitude and appreciation. Some nights I have all the energy in the world after shows and can meet people, some nights I'm tired after the show, but I'll hang any way, even if it means being a little out of it, and some nights I'm just too drained, and in those cases, I split straight away after the show, but in all the situations, my appreciation remains the same, and I thank you for understanding. We are very close to completing the double live disk, one disk BHIC, and the other me and guitar acoustic, and I'm looking forward to getting that out. I had a great time in Aspen. Thank you for making the trip to all those who traveled in as well as to the locals. I've only done a handful of solo shows over the past number of years, and it's quite different filling space for two hours by yourself, compared to being with the band. more»

LOWVILLE Lewis County General Hospital officials have received confirmation that they will receive more than $900,000 from the state Department of Health toward its dialysis project.
The grant support means that Lewis County General Hospital will not have to issue debt for this project, said Eric R. Burch, CEO of the county-owned hospital. If other funding avenues do not materialize, the unfunded amount of the project approximately $400,000 will be paid by the rent we collect from DaVita on the 10-year lease, which generates $123,000 annually.
Its nice that they recognized that we have the need and that theyre supporting us in the effort, said Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville, chairman of the legislative Hospital Committee and a member of the Board of Managers.
Mr. Hathway specifically credited Wladis Law Firm for its assistance in securing the grant funds and Lowville resident Edward Ingersoll for his dogged pursuit of the dialysis project.
Mr. Ingersoll, now in his 90s, in 2005 presented to county legislators a petition signed by more than 2,400 people requesting dialysis services here, then later enlisted the support of state Sen. Joseph L. Griffo, R-Rome, and started a Dollar-A-Week Club to heighten public awareness and raise funds for the project.
Along with the $904,837 commissioners discretionary grant, the $1.7 million project is to be funded by a $300,000 Empire State Development grant and roughly $100,000 from Lewis County Hospital Foundation collected through various fundraising efforts, including those spearheaded by Mr. Ingersoll and an annual bowling tournament.
The county is expected to cover the balance of project costs with reserve funds until the hospital can pay off the debt, likely within a few years. Hospital officials continue to seek additional funding for the project.
Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, has designed a 7,200-square-foot addition to be built off the west side of the Medical Arts Buildings first floor and basement to accommodate the dialysis center. After its built, the hospital would turn it over to DaVita Inc., which would do more than $200,000 worth of additional interior finish work.
Were really excited to finally see it go, said Bernier, Carr President Rick W. Tague, whose firm first took on the project in 2009.
Bids for general construction, mechanical, plumbing and electrical are due by Wednesday morning.
Thus far, 31 contractors have picked up packets on at least one of the four contracts, Mr. Tague said. There is good interest in the project as far as bidding goes, he said.
A report on low bidders will likely be presented to hospital managers at their regular meeting Wednesday evening, but a special meeting will probably need to be held to approve contracts after those bidders are more closely reviewed, Mr. Tague said.
Construction should start some time in May and run through the end of the year, with an opening planned by next March, he said.
The project will feature a new entrance canopy at the hospitals primary entry point, so a protected tunnel will be needed for a time, Mr. Tague said.
There will be some disruption during construction, he said.
The planned center would provide a local treatment option for Lewis County residents who now must travel to Watertown or Utica to receive dialysis. Up to 30 dialysis patients in Lewis County typically undergo four-hour treatments three days a week.
Along with rent, DaVita also will reimburse the hospital for maintenance and housekeeping services, electricity, heating and water and sewer services.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Matteo Alacrán was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patrón, lord of a country called Opium — a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster — except for El Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.
As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patrón's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacran Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.
"Farmer's (A Girl Named Disaster; The Ear, the Eye and the Arm) novel may be futuristic, but it hits close to home, raising questions of what it means to be human, what is the value of life, and what are the responsibilities of a society. Readers will be hooked from the first page, in which a scientist brings to life one of 36 tiny cells, frozen more than 100 years ago. The result is the protagonist at the novel's center, Matt a clone of El Patrón, a powerful drug lord, born Matteo Alacrán to a poor family in a small village in Mexico. El Patrón is ruler of Opium, a country that lies between the United States and Aztlán, formerly Mexico; its vast poppy fields are tended by eejits, human beings who attempted to flee Aztlán, programmed by a computer chip implanted in their brains. With smooth pacing that steadily gathers momentum, Farmer traces Matt's growing awareness of what being a clone of one of the most powerful and feared men on earth entails. Through the kindness of the only two adults who treat Matt like a human Celia, the cook and Matt's guardian in early childhood, and Tam Lin, El Patrón's bodyguard Matt experiences firsthand the evils at work in Opium, and the corruptive power of greed ('When he was young, he made a choice, like a tree does when it decides to grow one way or the other... most of his branches are twisted,' Tam Lin tells Matt). The author strikes a masterful balance between Matt's idealism and his intelligence. The novel's close may be rushed, and Tam Lin's fate may be confusing to readers, but Farmer grippingly demonstrates that there are no easy answers. The questions she raises will haunt readers long after the final page. Ages 11-14." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Farmer has a talent for creating exciting tales in beautifully realized, unusual worlds....Matt's story turns out to be an inspiring tale of friendship, survival, hope, and transcendence. A must-read for SF fans." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"[A] powerful, ultimately hopeful story that...prognosticates a compelling picture of what the future could bring. All of these serious issues are held together by a remarkable coming-of-age story." Booklist (Starred Review)
"[M]ind-expanding fiction." USA Today
"The novel's well-described, exotic setting is a background for imaginative science fiction....Some readers may be put off by its length, but those who dive in will find it worth the effort." School Library Journal
"[A] long but engrossing SF adventure....This will appeal to adventure story lovers as well as SF fans." Paula Rohrlick, KLIATT
"Farmer presents a fresh look at the coming of age theme....Despite a rather hasty and almost simplistic ending to the novel, the plot is engaging, and the characters are well developed and sympathetic." Erin Nita Miller, Alan Review
Now available in paperback — the recipient of the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, and a Printz Honor. In a future where humans despise clones, Matt enjoys special status as the young clone of El Patrâon, the 142-year-old leader of a corrupt drug empire nestled between Mexico and the United States.
This modern classic takes on an iron-fisted drug lord, clones bred for their organs, and what it means to be human. Winner of the National Book Award as well as Newbery and Printz Honors.

M. Sindy Felin's National Book Award finalist is in paperback for the first time. Karina has plenty to worry about on the last day of seventh grade: finding three Ds and a C on her report card again, getting laughed at by everyone again, being sent to the principal—again. But she's too busy dodging the fists of her stepfather and looking out for her sisters to deal with school. This is the story of a young girl coming of age amidst the violent waters that run just beneath the surface of suburbia—a story that has the courage to ask: How far will you go to protect the ones you love?
The epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known—except hope.
Matteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested with the DNA from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium. Can a boy who was bred to guarantee another's survival find his own purpose in life? And can he ever be free?

The skin of the canal should be pale pink with normal wax being light tan in color. When your veterinarian looks into your pet's ear, she will look for:
Redness, which would indicate inflammation, possibly from allergies, scratching, or infection
Foreign bodies, such as dirt, etc.
Excess wax in the canal, which may indicate a need for a change in cleaning protocol
Change in texture of the ear canal may indicate allergies or chronic ear infection
Growths or developmental abnormalities
Your veterinarian will also check the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to see if there are any abnormalities.
If your veterinarian sees any of the above problems, she may prescribe medications or, if your pet has ear mites (Otodectes spp), she may recommend the use of a miticide such as Drs. Foster & Smith Ear Miticide.
To prevent ear problems, follow a regular ear-cleaning schedule using the correct cleaning products such as Ear Clens Solution or Ear Clens Pads.
