News: Carlos Beltran had Knee Surgery
In a post to Twitter, Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus said:
"Big news pending for Mets. Doesn't sound good."
…oh, man, and pitchers and catchers is just five weeks away… what's up, will…
Updated at 9:35 pm:
Joel Sherman of the New York Post says he heard Carlos Beltran had microfracture surgery today without the team's permission.
Updated at 9:39 pm:
According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, Carlos Beltran had knee surgery today, he is expected to need eight weeks of rehab and will miss the start of the season.
Updated at 9:45 pm:
In a follow-up post, Joel Sherman of the New York Post says a second source believes Carlos Beltran simply had his knee 'scoped,' and 'cleaned up,' 'though the Mets are acting like it was more than routine.'
Sherman cites a third source who says this was not microfracture surgery, "but standard scope and Mets team physician Dr. David Altchek and team were OK on this."
Updated at 9:51 pm:
The Mets issued the following press release a few moments ago:
"Carlos Beltran had worsening of osteoarthritis of the right knee during the offseason. He had not been experiencing pain following the conclusion of the season and into his early offseason conditioning. The symptoms returned to the point where pre-spring training conditioning became too painful. He elected to undergo arthroscopic clean out of the arthritic area of his knee by Beltran"s personal physician Dr. Richard Steadman today in Colorado. He is anticipated to return to baseball activities in 12 weeks.
…i talked with someone close to the team earlier tonight, and they sounded quite distraught… i can't blame them, that's how i feel… what a shame, and now what… i mean, how does the team go about replacing beltran for the year, now, with five weeks left before pitchers and catchers, because i really hope they do not freak out and panic… yes, i realize the team says 12 weeks… but, i heard earlier in the day he would be out for the season, and, so, like was the drill last year, until i see him out, running, playing on the field, i'm going to assume the worst… i do think the Mets can hang tight with Angel Pagan, if beltran really is going to be out just through mid-April…
…and b) how is this going to impact the team, who had to deal with injuries all last season, probably thought it put that behind them where they could now start new in March, only to have to face the same questions and concerns before the season even begins… ugh… what a shame…
Updated at 10:10 pm:
…here's the other thing, if what Kevin Burkhardt said on SNY is true, and the Mets really didn't know he was having this surgery, despite what sherman said earlier, then does have any implications in terms of his contract, and what does that say about his relationship with the team's medical staff, and decision-making process, in that he did this on his own and chose to use his personal physician…
In a post to TedQuarters, SNY's Ted Berg asks the Mets not to panic.
Updated at 10:22 pm:
Joel Sherman of the New York Post says the Mets are claiming Beltran's procedure was done 'without their blessing,' 'and are threatening some form of action.'
…i also talked to someone close to the team who does not sound happy…
…from what i can gather, the team might have been aware he was going under for one reason, but then, for some other reason, things changed and beltran might have elected to have a different procedure done… if this is the case, things could get ugly…
Updated at 10:30 pm:
…according to a person high up with the team, the Mets did not make any major changes to their medical staff this off season; but instead added an assistant or two to help facilitate paperwork, and other administrative duties, for Ray Ramirez and Company…
In an on-air report for SNY, Kevin Burkhardt called this a 'flat-out disaster.' Later, in a post to Twitter, he said, though the Mets knew about the surgery, they didn't agree with him having it.
Updated at 10:45 pm:
…also, i get the feeling Scott Boras is going to be called out for this, in some, way, shape or form, before all is said and done… from what i can gather, he and beltran played a big role is convincing Oliver Perez to go to Arizona for off-season training… boras has a heavy hand in his client's activities… the word last summer had been that beltran was planning on asking the Mets for a contract extension, but then hit the disabled list and that was that… now here we are… something just doesn't seem right… and, i can't help and think we might soon see people pointing fingers…
Updated at 11:13 pm:
According to a new report for the New York Post, recapping the night's events, Joel Sherman says, 'the Commissioners Office and the Players Association have been alerted 'the Mets are claiming this was done without clearance and that the Mets are threatening to take some form of action. There is a potential issue out there.''
However, Sherman believes the Mets were not in the dark on this, and, 'Mets doctors and trainers were kept abreast of the diagnosis in Colorado, even if the Mets did not agree with the remedy.'

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - The annual deer hunt is getting under way as Maine residents take to the woods amid optimism there will be more opportunities to bag a whitetail this season.
Firearms season for licensed Maine hunters who are residents begins on Saturday, and nonresident hunters can join the hunt beginning Monday. The season ends for all Nov. 24, the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Hunters are permitted to take one antlered deer annually in Maine, while hunters with an any-deer permit are allowed to take either one antlered deer or one antlerless deer.
Hunters are hoping that the combination of the past year's mild winter and early spring improved conditions to bolster Maine's deer herd.

The BDR-207MBK drive is perfect for system builders, for those looking to upgrade to a Blu-ray burner, for those wanting to back up irreplaceable files using as few discs as possible, or for those who already have software.
The BDR-207MBK is an internal BD/DVD/CD burner from Pioneer. This burner can write up to 128 GB on a single BDXL Quad Layer disc (equal to 27 single layer DVDs). The drive is also backwards compatible, so it can read and write to most DVD and CD formats. Click on the "Specifications" tab to see all supported media formats, as well as the read and write speeds achievable.
Want to watch Blu-ray 3D titles? Well the BDR-207MBK drive is 3D capable. All you need is 3D playback software and a 3D display system and you're ready to go.
Running out of hard drive space? Afraid of losing your valuable files when your hard drive crashes? With BDXL Blu-ray discs, you can store the equivalent of 27 single layer DVDs on a single disc. Now you can have a backup you can trust and with as few discs as possible1.
The BDR-207MBK drive has features such as a QuickStart which enables the disc to be ready 42% faster, a Noise Suppression design to minimize noise, an Anti-Dust design to increase durability, and Precision Writing Technology to minimize write errors. And of course being a Pioneer drive, the BDR-207MBK drive supports a wide range of blank media.
|Store more data

We wanted to commemorate Les Paul on his birthday today. Well known for creating the solid-body electric guitar, Les Paul was a Wisconsin native, Waukesha to be exact. Our Waukesha County History collection has a few images of his from his childhood.
In this image Les Paul poses with his "Red Hot" Rag time Band in front of a Junior Optimist parade float with the band members in costume. He is the fifth from the left, holding the guitar and a harmonica around his neck.

What will I be doing as an MRC volunteer?
Volunteers are needed for both emergency and non-emergency purposes.
During a public health emergency, MRC volunteers would be needed to help staff an emergency vaccination clinic or pharmaceutical distribution clinic. Many functions will be needed to run a clinic. We will match volunteers' skill levels and interests to the need. Some functions will include: vaccinating or distributing pharmaceuticals to mass people, medical screening, running patient education sessions, directing people-flow, providing mental health consultation, registering patients, entering data from forms, stocking supplies, handling the press/media, etc.
During times of non-emergency, volunteers can be local "ambassadors" for public health. We will match volunteers' skill levels and interests to the need. Some activities might include: assisting with flu clinics, children's health screenings, providing education sessions or presentations on special health topics, assisting patients with specific health-related programs, helping with health fairs, promoting immunization campaigns, as well as other possibilities that may be presented.
Do you have to have medical skills to volunteer for the Medical Reserve Corps?
Not necessarily. We have a need for medical volunteers to perform specific medical functions. But non-medical volunteers can fulfill other important needs such as: translation assistance, computer assistance, clerical support, health education, stocking medical supplies, managing clinic flow, public information contact, supporting medical programs, logistics during an emergency, etc. Everyone's skills are valued and needed, even without a medical background.
What about liability for MRC volunteers?
The law relating to liability coverage varies from state to state. At this time, a uniform policy of protection for MRC volunteers across the nation does not exist. In Columbia/Boone County, Missouri, MRC volunteers may provide direct medical services and assistance during an emergency.
Missouri has two statutes pertaining to emergency coverage. We refer you to these Missouri Laws to determine your liability:
-Emergency care, no civil liability, exceptions (Good Samaritan law). (MO 537.037),
-Torts and Actions for Damages: Volunteers, limited personal liability, certain organizations and government entities, exceptions (MO 537.118).
What kind of training will volunteers receive?
All volunteers without a current license to practice in the healing arts will receive training and certification in First Aid from a nationally recognized provider (such as the Red Cross). This training/certification helps cover the volunteer for liability purposes. All volunteers will also receive training in Volunteer Safety and Infection Control.
These training topics are also required: Disaster Mental Health, National Incident Management System (previously called Incident Command System), CPR, and MRC Orientation. Training exercises simulating a public health emergency will also be part of the MRC volunteers' training.
CPR certification is required for all volunteers, Basic First Aid training is required for non-medical volunteers.
Can I get Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for training?
Possibly. This depends upon the acceptance of the training course by your discipline's state board. The MRC will provide the necessary documentation to accompany your request for CEUs, such as course objectives, completion certificates, etc. MRC volunteers will need to individually submit their request for CEUs to their discipline's state board for approval. The cost for CEUs will be covered by the MRC for required volunteer training and exercises; the cost for CEUs for non-required training will be the responsibility of the volunteer.
What is the difference between Medical Reserve Corps and other emergency support organizations, such as the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army?
The Medical Reserve Corps volunteers in Columbia/Boone County will be called to support the emergency system during a public health emergency. MRC volunteers would staff emergency vaccination or pharmaceutical distribution clinics during such an emergency, providing critical staffing needs in the medical area. Those wanting to offer professional medical services (doctors, nurses, etc) will need to provide us with their professional credentials before we can utilize them in a medical capacity. Other emergency support organizations would have a different role according to the Boone County Emergency Operations Plan. For example, the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army would primarily provide feeding and mass care during a public health emergency. The Red Cross would also offer mental and emotional support provided by licensed mental health professionals. The Salvation Army would provide religious counseling and spiritual care.
What does it mean when a volunteer is considered in "Active" status?
Only volunteers who are "Active" will be called to volunteer in an emergency. To be considered "Active", an MRC volunteer must:
Will I be paid for my services?
MRC volunteers are not paid. Volunteers willingly give of their time for the benefit of our community. As an MRC volunteer, you may be provided with training opportunities with the possibility of CEU hours, and opportunities to increase your skills and provide an important preparedness function for our community. Also, in the event of a public health emergency, active MRC volunteers and their immediate family members will receive emergency prophylaxis.
How many hours will I be volunteering?
Non-emergency volunteer opportunities will vary in the amount of hours a volunteer is needed, however there is room for flexibility to accommodate volunteers' schedules. MRC members are asked to volunteer in one non-emergency activity each year. During a public health emergency, it will depend on the magnitude of the situation and the need. For example only one vaccination clinic may be sufficient to fulfill the emergency need, or several clinics may be needed. It will also depend on how many hours the emergency clinic may operate in a 24-hour period. Shifts will be scheduled for all clinic workers and volunteers.
Will there be any travel involved?
At this time, the Columbia/Boone County Medical Reserve Corps will serve the communities in Boone County. Travel will most likely involve the Columbia area or to the smaller surrounding communities in Boone County. Volunteers will need to provide their own transportation to volunteer activities.
*Special note: See the question on tax credits for MRC volunteers.
Are tax credits possible for volunteering with the Medical Reserve Corps?
Yes in general, you will want to talk with your tax advisor for your specific tax issues. Volunteers in the United States may receive tax deductions from the federal government on many costs associated with volunteering, such as mileage and other travel expenses, parking, uniforms if the volunteer purchases his/her own, etc. These deductions apply only if you are not getting reimbursed for these expenses, and you are itemizing on your tax form (not using the 1040EZ form). When volunteers drive their own vehicles to carry out volunteer duties, including to and from trips to their volunteer service, the IRS permits a deduction per mile. MRC volunteers who want a tax deduction should keep good records of mileage in performing volunteer duties, and ask their tax preparation specialist for information on deducting volunteer expenses. For more information go to http://www.irs.gov/, to review Publication #526 Charitable Contributions.
Will being an MRC volunteer interfere with my regular job?
Non-emergency volunteer activities should be done in accordance with the volunteer's schedule, and should not interfere with a volunteer's regular employment. During a public health emergency, volunteers may be needed during times that they would normally work at their job. Volunteers should discuss this possibility with their employer and understand their employer's policies and procedures for outside volunteering, so that an MRC volunteer will be prepared to respond in an emergency.
Are there any fees or costs to volunteer?
There are no fees to become an MRC volunteer. Fees for some training will be covered by the MRC grant.
Do you have to live in Columbia or Boone County to be a volunteer?
No. Residents of the surrounding counties are welcome to apply for membership. If you are a resident of Howard or Cooper counties, you can contact your local health department to participate.

did you setup the NAT rules after you initially setup your PF rules? I bet you're not reloading the NAT rules. 'pfctl -R -f /etc/pf.conf' will only reload the PF ruleset. NAT is not included in that. In order to do NAT you must do 'pfctl -N -f /etc/pf.conf'.
Let me know that works. And if it does, 'man pfctl' for more info on crazy flags it uses. :-)
BTW, my NAT rule just looks like this.
"nat on $ext_if inet -> ($ext_if)"
Just does NAT on the external interface and rewrites all outgoing packets with the IP of the external interface.
PF is simply amazing...

As part of the gynecologic
oncology at Penn Medicine, the Gynecologic Oncology Program at Abramson Cancer Center at Pennsylvania
Hospital works together with our colleagues
provide excellent care
for women with gynecologic cancer.
These cancers represent the fourth most common
type of cancer in women. Although gynecologic
cancers are grouped together, they vary in terms
of symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. When facing
a diagnosis of cancer, or the possibility of
cancer, you want the best team of experts—individuals
who will provide the information, comfort and
support you deserve to help you each step of
the way.
Our knowledge about gynecologic cancer continues
to grow and today, there are more encouraging
treatment options for women with gynecologic
cancer than ever before.
We offer a team approach to patient
care which includes other Penn specialists, education
and support services for patients and families,
nutrition services, cancer risk evaluation program
and a dedicated research program. Treatment options
include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery.
All newly diagnosed cases are reviewed at a
weekly conference by a multidisciplinary
team comprised of:
This team discusses the diagnosis and staging
of the disease and treatment recommendations
for every patient. This approach ensures patients
receive the benefit of multiple opinions and
team input.
Our surgeons use conservative surgical approaches
to preserve a woman's reproductive organs and
provide the best chance for cure whenever possible.
Patients who are still in their reproductive
years and desire children are referred to Penn
Fertility Care to discuss fertility options.

The Crew will look to rebound from two disappointing losses against the Red Bulls last season when the two sides meet on Saturday (4:00 p.m. ET/NBC Sports Network). Here is a look back at the 2012 edition of the Columbus versus New York matchup.
A Kenny Cooper brace within the first 15 minutes of the match spelled doom early for the Black & Gold. Thierry Henry added two more as the Crew fell 4-1. The late Kirk Urso earned the only assist of his career, finding an open Chad Marshall on a late corner kick.
SEPT. 15: Red Bulls 3 - Crew 1
A third-minute goal from Milovan Mirosevic wasn't enough to help the Crew to a road result as Henry once again tallied twice and added an assist against the Black & Gold. The Crew was without newcomer Federico Higuaín for most of the match as the Argentine rested a sore heel, but entered as a substitute in the 90th minute.

The Th30 is a verstile tone monster. What it lacks in effects, it makes up for with tone. With the effects loop, and 30, 15, or 7.5 watt settings you can really get any tone you really want out of this amp. It does pristine cleans to classic crunch on the clean channel, and classic rock to metal on the dirty channel. This thing is built to last too! Very solid construction. I am very pleased with this puchase.
This amp lacks built in effects, but the effects loop solves that issue if you really need them. With the footswitch input too (footswitch not included!) you've got all thefeatures you really need IF you are willing to pay for them. The clean channel has so much headroom and when cranked on the 7 watt setting you really get that vintage crunch. The dirty channel can do anything from classic rock (thing GnR, Zeppelin) to thick metal like metallica, scooped moden metal, to absolutely insane amounts of gain. And the orange tolex is also pretty sweet!!!
I was slightly worried when purchasing this amp due to the fact that it was made in China unlike Orange's famous English made amplifiers. However, i was gladly surprised when I recieved the amp. There were absolutely no problems with the amp when i recieved it. Tolex applied very well, all switches tight, and no electronic issues. Also, again to my surprise mine came stock with a very nice set of JJ's (an upgrade from the supposed stock tubes) I'm not sure if this was on purpose or what but i was happy with it!
For a 30 watter this thing is not cheap, but you get what you pay for... an absolute tone machine! If tone is what you're after, this is it. The Th30 is great for bedroom levels to small/ medium gigs with the 7.5, 15, or 30 watt capabilities.

A great sounding head but unfortunately,the tolex is coming "Un-GLued. I also bought a PPC212 cabinet from Musicians Friend and another one from Guitar Center to make a cool stack. All 3 Orange products from China are delaminating and they are all less than 3 months old. I never had any of this on my AD30 Made in England. I guess Chinese glue is not that great....

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
Beautiful amp w/ dripping lush tones and sustain for days. Guitar solos stand out and cleans sparkle and shimmer. This amp sounds incredible and you will recognize the difference in tone compared to Marshall/Mesa etc. right away. HOWEVER...if you have been using a 50 or 100 watt amp in a jam setting prior, this amp will not keep up with that kind of power and punch. It will not be enough. Trust me! We play with a hard hitting drummer in the room, and the 30 watt just doesn't have the punch to stand out compared to a 50 or 100 watt tube amp. So if you have a lower volume band or play small rooms etc., the amp will be fine. Highly recommended.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I bought this head because I had a Dark Terror once and loved it, except that it had only one channel. I play mostly hard rock and classic metal, but need a foot switchable clean channel once in a while, particularly for intro's. I could never see paying the regular price for this head due to the fact that it is so expensive for being made in China. It's twice what the Dark Terror costs and the only plus is the extra channel.
Fortunately, MF had these on sale for about 20% off for the "factory refurbished" variety. When you throw on the sale price of 17% off on top of that, it gets to be in the realm of an Egnater Tweaker 40, Blackstar HT40, Vox Night Train G2 50W, or H&K Tubemeister 36 or other higher gain heads made in low wage countries. I've owned or played those other amps as well and they are all great for my style - but this is my favorite.
Why you ask? Well, like the Dark Terror, the Dirty channel has gobs and gobs of gain - even more than I will probably ever need, but it's nice to have it. It's a bit brighter than the DT, but not overly bright. I have an Orange cab with a Celestion V30 that's not broken in, but I'll be playing it with 212 loaded with G12H Anniversary's soon enough. If you want some warmth in your tone, pick the right cab. I am mainly a rhythm player and the V30's can be a bit harsh.
I am a simple-stupid kinda guy, commonly referred to as a "set it and forget it" player. The shape knob combined with the gain knob is fantastic for me. I'm an analog man living in a digital world and simple is blissful! I play it at "56" normally (shape knob at 5 and gain knob at 6). I almost always use Gibson Les Pauls with dual humbuckers and this setting just works for what I do. The beauty of this amp, like other fine tube heads, is that it sounds better as you crank it up. You achieve that power tube distortion that is just so beautiful...No need for a distortion pedal with this amp. To my ear, this is sonic nirvana so why put a pedal in front of it's natural break up?
As you probably know if you are reading this, 30 Orange watts are loud as heck when cranked up. I have a nice little Carvin V3M that is supposedly a 50 watter, but this amp actually pushes more air at 30 watts. I'd like to tell you a lot about the lower output settings, but I actually don't use them much. They are nice to have for more bedroom type levels, but this amp sounds much fuller at full power. I've never had an amp that didn't, so that is nothing new for me.
Finally, Orange has got to be making serious coin on this amp based on where it's made and the price that they charge. God bless them for that as I am an unapologetic capitalist myself, but they ARE pricey. The good news is, if you shop around you can get quite a discount as I did. They are well-built heads that sound awesome and quality should not be a concern. I've owned 3 Chinese built Orange amps and they have all been robust. You may want to change out the cheap Chinese tubes (JJ's went into mine), but I would compare this to Blackstar's Korean-made amps.
I hope this review helps. Rock on!

I have had this for a year now, and I must say that this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I paired this amp with a Marshall 4 x 12 cabinet and an Ibanez S series, and this rig can handle hardcore, metal, rock, jazz and blues. Although some of these tones are a bit harder to dial-in yourself, a couple of effects pedals can remedy your sound (i.e. EQ or reverb). The ability to cut your power output is also very helpful for recording. Overall, this is a great sounding and powerful amp at a great price.

FYI, for everyone who thought that the TH30 was a bit weak on the volume, Musician's Friend is now selling the TH100(finally!).

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
This amp sounds great and makes it extremely easy to dial-in great tones. The treble/bass controls for the Clean channel provide diverse tone, as does the shape control for the Dirty Channel. I've been able to achieve everything from jazz to classic rock to heavy metal. I was deciding between the Orange TH30 and the Orange Dual Terror for their switchable output settings, but the clean sounds from the TH30 seemed far superior. The addition of a tube-buffered FX loop also added to the appeal of this amp when making the decision to buy. The volume between the two channels could be better matched, as the output for the Clean can outdo the Dirty at lower volume settings. Overall, this amp has performed better than I could have hoped. I recommend it to any guitarist looking for versatile sound in an Orange package.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I have owned this amp for a little over a year, and it has been a great amp! I don't know why other people are saying that it is not loud, this thing booms (the only difference between 30 watts and 100 watts is a couple of decibels, 100 watts only gives you some more clean head room). I play in a stoner/sludge band and with 30 watts cranking, I only turn the volume up to about 1 o'clock.
When my band recorded our album, the recording engineer was astounded by the tone that I was getting out of my amp, and said that he was going to buy one as it was one of the best he had heard.
I've played this with a PPC112, PPC212, and PPC412, and it sounds fantastic in all of them.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I've gone through several amps over the past few years, trying to find the right one. Of course, if you have $3000 to spend on an amp then finding the right one isn't hard. But if you're on a tighter budget like me, it's a little trickier. Long story short: the Orange TH30 provides enough tone quality, durability, and versatility that I think this amp will stay in my arsenal for years. The TH30 covers a broader tonal spectrum than any amp I've owned previously. Which is a big plus for me because I play different kinds of music. I'm not a pro, but I do make a modest part-time living playing music and my Orange gets dragged around to gigs quite a bit. I've had mine for about 6 months and have had zero problems so far. At first I was a little concerned about the whole "Made in China" thing, but this hasn't been an issue yet. It's built like a tank.
Why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well, this thing has a lot of gain on tap, so it will spark the interest of the metal-heads out there. The problem is: If you're in a "heavy" band then you're probably not going to get enough volume out of this 30-watt amp to satisfy you. And it can be a bit tricky to find a good balance between the clean and dirty channels - they aren't evenly voiced. I read that in other reviews before I bought my TH30, and I can vouch for the validity of that issue.
However, as someone who doesn't really play "heavy" music, I don't have this problem. The TH30 is plenty loud for me and the clean headroom is pretty substantial on 30 watt mode. Speaking of which, you may have read that cranking the clean channel will give you some great sounding tube overdrive, and this is true. Putting it in 7-watt mode will let you do this at lower volumes, which is useful.
You might be wondering why I would buy an amp with so much gain on tap if I don't play "heavy" music. Well, when I do want some crunch I just love the Orange sound. And the TH30 was the only Orange I could afford with an effects loop. It has more gain than I need, realistically....but every tone that I can dial in prior to "scooped modern metal" territory is wonderful, and having that extra bit of raunchiness on tap is just a fun bonus for me.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I recently bought this head because I had heard a lot of good things about Orange's tone. The TH100 was out of my price range at the moment, so I went with this guy instead. I was (rightfully) skeptical about the fact that it was only a 30W head, but I did my research and all the reviews I found said that it was perfectly adequate for full band rehearsals, so I decided to go for it.
Well....it's not, unfortunately. The tone really is beautiful, although it did have some issue handling my pedal board setup (WAY too much feedback than there should have been).
But the bottom line is: this amp is simply not loud enough if you are playing in a heavy band. My drummer is a pretty heavy hitter, and even at full volume, even with an EQ pedal boost, and all 4 tubes at full power, I could barely hear myself over the drums.
So for all you metal guitarists out there who are thinking about getting this, DONT DO IT. It's not worth the money, and if you have any sort of volume, it will not cut it. Do yourself a favor: NO HALF MEASURES. 100W or bust.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
This amp continues to surpass my expectations. Running it at 7 watts is more than enough for bedroom/home studio use. 30 watts is enough for any club stage or band practice (15 will probably do). I've always been a high powered high gain amp man, I've used peavey 5150, Mesa Dual rectifiers, monsters of high gain with 100+ watts. This amp made me second guess what I was doing.
The Clean channel is like an added bonus to me, its one of the, if not the, most beautiful, chimey and pristine clean sounding amps I've ever heard.
The dirty channel (which is its strong point) is great, from classic rock sounds to extreme metal, the minimal knobs make is easy, and the knobs are sensitive too! The gain and distortion on this amp are very impressive. Not to mention with an Orange cabinet, you have a beast of a stack on your hands without having to go deaf just to get the amps sweet spot of tone.
Comments about Orange Amplifiers TH30H 30W Tube Guitar Amp Head:
I was approached about trading my Vox AC30 for this Orange TH30. At first I was skeptical but I knew that the AC30 was not giving me what I wanted. I loved the tones and the greenbacks, but there was something "missing". When I plugged in the TH30 into my Marshall 412 lead cab, it immediately filled in that missing space. What is great about this amp is that it has a great foundational low end, without sacrificing or overpowering that crisp higher end. What makes this even better is that you dont get lost in all of the knobs and controls. It is VERY straightforward with little to no hassle. Within about 30 min. I had my tones dialed in with my pedals, and volumes set. The efx loop is a big plus (except you cannot tune in standby). This head has everything you need and nothing you dont. I prefer amp created overdrive rather than pedal overdrive, but this head takes my Boss Super Overdrive like a champ, and if I want more overdrive, switch to the Dirty channel. I play a number of guitars, all Fender, from a Nashville Deluxe Tele to a Toronado to a Strat. Immediately, my sound guy at my church informed me that my tone was WAY better. Instead of twingy, I had a nice full and robust tone. One of the things that my vox couldn't do was accept overdrive at low volumes. It needed to be loud to have a really good tone. Not that that is a bad thing, it is just that where I play (At church where we need a lower stage volume) the loud overdrive takes over the stage and messes with the FOH.
Another great feature is the adjustable watts. I can go from 30 to 15 to 7.5. However one thing I did notice that the tones change a bit with the watt change. not enough to be a problem, but enough for me to keep it at 30 watts for what I play. Needless to say, I traded my Vox AC30 and got the TH30 and was very happy. This is an amazing amp. I just cant wait to get my PPC412 cab and hear it through some vintage 30's. This amp has amazing cleans with the ability to get some nice classic overdrive tones, to some naughty gritty dirty tones that will put your 100watt Marshall and peaveys to shame!

ADAMS Donald H. Holman and his 50 black Angus beef cattle would rather have had a green Christmas than a white one so the 100-acre grass pasture at his farm would have continued to grow to feed his herd through the holiday.
Grass fields ordinarily stop growing in the second week of November, requiring Mr. Holman to cart four wagon loads of hay daily to the small herd used for breeding. But bizarrely enough, his cattle continued munching on pasture grass every morning well into December. Its an anomaly the rancher, who began raising beef cattle in 1989, has never seen before.
Mother Nature essentially has rewarded him with a $6,000 check, he said, because in the spring he will sell 150 bales of hay hed normally feed to his herd in the winter.
Everyone is always whining about global warming, but like every other fact of life, there is two sides to everything, he said last Thursday morning while approaching the pasture off Route 178 in his truck. Here we are in the middle of December, and grass in the pasture is still growing. Ive gone more than 30 days without feeding them bales of hay worth $40.
As Mr. Holman parked his truck in the dewy pasture Thursday morning, dozens of black Angus cattle that were scattered throughout the field to graze encircled it in a tight cluster. He wont give them hay yet because the grass is still ripe, but they looked inquisitive.
The majority of the cattle are heifers used for breeding, while only a handful of bulls with the best genetics are the fathers. Mr. Holman pointed to his largest bull, standing alone in the field, a 2,100-pounder responsible for most of the breeding.
Hes been breeding for four years and now has about 30 children, said the 67-year-old. Mr. Holman shares responsibilities on the farm with his wife, Susan R., and drives a bus part time for the South Jefferson Central School District.
Because the group of 50 cattle is used only for breeding, he said, it includes only the cream of the crop. His additional 300 cattle are raised to be sold to slaughterhouses and processors and are in separate fields and a 6,400-square-foot barn.
Bulls used at the farm for breeding are bought exclusively from Summitcrest Farms in Broken Bow, Neb. Mr. Holman makes the drive to Nebraska every month to attend auctions at the farm, where bulls with the best genetics are sold.
During a typical year, Mr. Holmans bulls and heifers mate in June and July. About 15 calves are born in late March and April. Unlike dairy cattle, he said, heifers dont need any help giving birth to their calves, which typically weigh about 60 pounds. Because of their thick skin and fur, the beef cattle stay outside throughout the winter.
Theyll give birth when its snowing, he said, adding they are much more resilient than dairy cattle, which are sensitive to temperature changes. When it gets windy in the winter, they can run out to the woods for shelter.
Mr. Holman always searches for ways to make his operation more efficient and sustainable. He said it took him about five years to learn how to care properly for his breeding herd. Cows gain the most weight and are healthiest when they feed on grass, he learned, and each cow needs to be allotted two acres to ensure pastures arent overpopulated. He also feeds his cattle using grain and silage harvested from a 125-acre cornfield and 100 acres of alfalfa hay.
Each month, he takes about 15 young steers and heifers in a trailer to an auction barn in Paradise, Pa. That region contains more small slaughterhouses, he said, and about seven to 10 buyers typically attend the auctions. The going rate for Angus beef cattle is about $1.30 a pound; they weigh anywhere from 1,150 to 1,450 pounds and are about 2 years old when theyre sold for slaughter. He sells about 250 to 300 cattle a year at the Pennsylvania auction, and about 60 more to private buyers in the north country.
Despite his age, Mr. Holman enjoys his active lifestyle raising beef cattle. And gifts from Mother Nature like the mild weather in December are always welcome.
I feel like an employee getting a bonus check I didnt plan on because Im getting $6,000 for hay I planned to use, he said.

For their efforts, the pair was named the Southern Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Players of the Month, respectively, the league office announced on Wednesday. Sims led the Mountaineer men to a 2-2 record to start the season with 18 points and seven assists in the season opening win at Tulsa and followed with 21 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals against Montreat in ASU's home opener.
Sims then turned in his top performance of the season at Mississippi State with 40 points, five assists and three steals in the near-upset in Starkville. He became the fifth ASU player to surpass the career 1,600-point plateau in the game and was named the league's player of the week for his efforts. The Gaffney, S.C. native added 27 points and four three-pointers at Vanderbilt the following week.
His 40-point outburst is the third-highest total in a game in NCAA Division I this season and the guard ranks third nationally with 27.0 points per game for the season. At 1,695 career points, he ranks fourth in program history.
Sims shot 44.8 percent from the field and 39 percent from downtown while sinking 30-of-32 attempts from the line. He also averaged 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals per contest while playing 35.0 minutes per game.
Ramirez scored in double-figures in five of six games during the month of November, helping ASU's women to a 5-1 mark in the month, totaling the most wins in the month for the program dating back to the 1981-82 season.
She began the season with a bang at the Longwood Tournament, as she poured in 20 points in the Black and Gold's season-opening win against Marshall, and then matched that performance by pouring in a career-high 28 points, including 23 in the first half, in Appalachian's rout of Campbell. For those performances she was named the conference's player of the week.
Finding her hot shooting hand once again the lone senior for the Apps scored 12 points in ASU's first win at ETSU since 2003, 20 points in Appalachian's first-ever win against Gardner-Webb and capped off the month with 19 points in the Mountaineers' 100-67 drumming of Elon.
She has totaled an impressive 51.9 percent shooting percentage, and ended the month averaging a team-best 17.3 points per game. Her efforts have helped ASU extend its home winning streak, defeat two defending conference champions (ETSU- Atlantic Sun/Gardner-Webb- Big South) and win its conference-opening game for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
The honors are a repeat of sorts for both players, as they each won February Player of the Month honors from the SoCon to cap off the 2009-10 season.
The Mountaineer men travel to Georgetown on Sunday, December 12 for a nationally televised noon contest on ESPNU. The women's squad returns to Southern Conference action when it travels to Furman on Dec. 18 for a 2 p.m. contest.

Here's how RW members rated this race (338 votes).
In short: Oh what a sense of achievment!In full: Someone said that when walking/running in thick mud think of it like chocolate cake and then it seems much nicer! Not sure I can quite buy into that one but it was a distracting thought as us band of merry (and despite the terrain and weather we were a merry lot)sloshed and slurped and slipped through the mud, hills, tree roots and anything else the Surrey Hills could throw at us. We battled forth and won! Oh it hurt, oh it was fun and coming through the finishing straight to the whoops and clapping was one of those truly wonderful moments. Thank you as ever to Dr Rob and the wonderful Trionium marshals and team. The sheer zeal and the atmosphere you always garner at all your races and then the goodies at the end make your races the best and stand out from the rest. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all on the Surrey Hills again.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: my second marathon with Trionium and again tough run but very good!In full: Tough run, not much easier than likes of BHM I think, but great organisation, good atmosphere and really nice touches - good medal, mug, best t-shirt I think that I've had, free tea before and cooked breakfast after, swim I believe (personally I'd spent enough time in water with all those puddles on course!), well stocked drink stations, etc. Really good - well done to Rob and his team!Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Think very tough. And then double it. Beautiful though.In full: I did the Leith Hill 1/2 in March and the Greensands just goes to prove that a full marathon is much more than twice as tough as a half. Brutal and beautiful.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: More marshals neededIn full: They needed more marshals at path junctions, or more efficient route marking. Too much potential for wrong turnings, and delays due to not recognising an at-times complicated off-road route. This being said, still a great experience, even though the stunning scenery was obscured by fog on the day.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: amazing views, tough race. Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: A fun but hilly trail marathon. Well organised with a great atmosphere. Date of review: October 21, 2012
In short: A challenging, devilishly hilly trail marathon.Date of review: October 21, 2012
Date of review: October 21, 2012
In short: Get good at running up AND down short sharp hills! Date of review: October 21, 2012

A district court in Hamburg, in a provisional ruling, found YouTube contributed to copyright infringement by its users by providing the platform for infringement and failing to act quickly to remove unlawful music videos after it was notified by rights holders. The site was ordered to use the Content-ID software it currently operates to prevent the distribution of content it knows is infringing and also to install a word filter system to identify newly uploaded material that infringes on the rights of copyright holders. The court confirmed that a website hosting materials uploaded by users does not have an obligation to perform general monitoring of content.
Under the EU Ecommerce Directive (implemented in the UK by the Ecommerce Regulations 2002) an internet service provider is not responsible for copyright infringing content provided by third parties unless it has actual knowledge of the illegal content and fails to act expeditiously to remove or disable access to such content when informed that the content is unlawful. The Ecommerce Directive restricts member states from imposing a general duty on a website owner to monitor content.
This case is a reminder to FE and HE institutions that whilst they may not be liable for hosting copyright infringing materials uploaded by students for example, they should have in place a Notice & Take Down Policy and act expeditiously to remove content they are notified is infringing. The news story is available on the Out-Law website.

BizTimes Milwaukee recently interviewed Common Ground Health Care Cooperative founder and board president Robert Connolly, interim chief executive officer Cathy Mahaffey and interim chief operating officer Robert De Vita about the venture. The following are excerpts from that interview.
BizTimes: Many of our readers are asking if this is for real. This project is the result of more than three years of research on possible solutions to providing affordable health insurance in the region. How was that research done, and what did you discover?
Connolly: "We put a team together of 40 volunteers, and we started talking to everybody involved in the health care system. We talked to doctors, health care providers, hospital employees, small business owners; everybody we could think of to figure out our health care system. We tried to figure out what's good about it, what's not so good about it and what we came up with over and over again was that nobody was paying attention to people like me: small business owners.
"I've got four employees in my plan, $104,000 a year in premiums and then my rates go up 35 to 40 percent. People kept saying to us, 'What can we do? Why do my rates keep going up, and how can we control this?'"
BizTimes: Has anything like this ever been done before? Are there any similar projects to emulate, or is this breaking completely new ground?
Connolly: "There are other models out there. What we did was study how big businesses are already doing it. Some have already managed to drop their costs 20, 30, sometimes 40 percent. As a small business, I can't self-insure, but if we bring together 50,000 people, we can self-insure. We can be our own insurance company. We're going to do for small businesses what big businesses already can do to keep their costs down."
BizTimes: The first $7.4 million of the $56.4 million will be used to finance operational expenses in the first two years. The remaining $48.9 million will be allotted to the co-op after it has demonstrated that previously identified milestones have been hit, correct?
Mahaffey: "Actually the first $7.4 million for startup expenses is subject to milestones as well. We went through quite an application process and once we found out that we could enter into loan negotiations with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), we had to put together a milestone schedule. What that schedule does is identify all the elements of our business plan and when we're going to accomplish them. As we accomplish those milestones, each quarter, then we'll get a disbursement. We'll get a portion of that $7.4 million. So the money isn't allocated to us all up front but as we go along each quarter."
BizTimes: What are those milestones?
Mahaffey: "Well, there are 96 of them. But as an example: provider network. We have to finalize our provider network contracting strategy and then we have to implement the strategy in order to have a provider network as part of our plan."
BizTimes: Who, exactly, will be your targeted customers?
Connolly: "Small businesses, nonprofits and individuals working for businesses or nonprofits with 200 or less employees. Now, in the proposal, what the feds want us to focus on is the group of two to 50 employees."
BizTimes: How will you market this? Why should businesses leave their current insurance providers and become members of the Common Ground Health Care Cooperative?
Mahaffey: "Certainly we understand that this market is very price sensitive. But we also believe that there is so much more than just the cost to consider. Obviously, we are going to do everything in our power to have it be an affordable premium, and long term be a stable premium, but what we want people to know is that this is very different than what is available to them in the market now. It will be a member-governed cooperative. We'll have a board of directors that will be elected from the membership. That board will represent all members. I think that is really, really important.
"When you look at a group health cooperative or other co-ops that have member-governed entities, you can tell that it's a completely different environment. We exist to meet our members' needs. We listen to our members, and we've designed our products, processes and operations to focus on our members instead of on our profit. It's important that we help folks understand that even the underlying structure of this organization is different. That if we do have any profits, they have to be invested right back into the organization by keeping premiums affordable, by improving the benefits we offer or introducing more value-added programming. Our members will have a say in how that happens. That's important, and it's important to get folks to understand why that's important."
Connolly: "What I've learned about health care over the past three years is that it's all about money. If you understand where the money goes and who's getting what pieces of the money, then you understand how it works. We will tell our members everything. I'm going to insist on complete transparency. They will know where their money is going, how much we pay out in claims, how much we pay our CEO. I don't deny that we're going to pay our CEO pretty good money. We aren't, however, going to pay them $50 million a year, and we aren't going to pay a bunch of shareholders $30,000 a year either. All of this goes back to us. When everybody knows where the money goes, when everybody can see it, they'll trust it and they'll know that our organization is going to be on your side. We're still going to have to be competitive, and we know this is a business, and it needs to be financially sound."
BizTimes: Ultimately this comes down to the providers. They provide the health care, and you'll have to contract with them to provide care to members. How will you have the leverage to negotiate with them that the existing insurance companies can't seem to get?
Connolly: "That's a million dollar question you've just asked. There are two things that will make this work. One is the provider contracts, and the second is organizing 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 people to sign up, buy the insurance, believe in us and then us deliver what we promised to deliver. The provider contract piece we've been working on for about a year. We met with all the CEOs in town before we even did the application. We told them that we needed to do something for the small businesses in this market. All six of the provider systems wrote a letter endorsing our proposal, saying they would work with us on negotiating good prices.
"They all wrote letters of support, and here's why: this impacts them in significant ways. The No. 1 person without insurance in this region works for a small business. Do you know where they go if they don't have insurance? They go to the emergency rooms. It's in the provider's interest that small businesses have insurance because otherwise it goes into their uncollected debt or their charitable care, and these are people that work. We can't say absolutely, but we're convinced the provider systems want to see us be successful."
BizTimes: Many of our readers are skeptical about President Obama's health care reforms, and they will be inherently skeptical about this. What can you say to them to convince them that this is different and it's going to work?
Connolly: "Here's what we say to them. We've got to try something different. We want you to give this a try. Give us a chance to prove this will work. We know it's worked in other places, (such as the) Group Health Cooperative (of South Central Wisconsin) in Madison. Will it work here? We have to prove ourselves. So they can be skeptical all they want. We'll get out there, and we'll talk to them. We'll design this for you, and we'll make this work."
BizTimes: The U.S. Supreme Court will consider the challenges to Obama's Affordable Care Act soon. Ultimately, the court could affirm it as constitutional, it could strike down parts of the bill or it could strike down the entire bill. Does this project live or die, based upon the court's ruling?
Connolly: "No. We're designing this so that it will work with or without the Affordable Care Act. We are thinking we can make this work whether there is an exchange or not. We think we can make this work. We're designing this outside of politics."
De Vita: "No, and I'll tell you why. Forget about Affordable Care Act for a while. Market reform is changing health care, and that train has already left the station. You have to get set on how you are going to do the future because businesses, small businesses and large businesses alike, can't sustain the prices they are paying."
BizTimes: Will a court ruling like that take the purse strings away for this project?
Mahaffey: "We're told it does not. I understand your question. If the ACA goes away, doesn't everything associated with the ACA go away? We have been told no, that the funding will be there. This program has been cut twice. That could get cut further, but we are secure in the funds that we've received."
BizTimes: Can you speak to the wellness components of the project?
Mahaffey: "Our intent is to help our members to get the best health outcomes possible. It's a little more difficult for small employers and individuals to incorporate a wellness component into their benefits. We have to be able to provide our members with resources to make good health care decisions. We want to make sure our benefit plans and our wellness strategy help our members be better health care consumers and make better decisions. Our goal will be to have a primary care and preventative treatment model. We know we have to keep people out of the emergency room. This is really an important piece."
BizTimes: I understand it's early, but will you provide incentives to employers to provide wellness programs, or will you actually provide the wellness programs?
Mahaffey: "I think we have to provide the wellness programs or at least assist with that. These are small employers. They don't have human resource departments. So we have to come up with something that they can actually incorporate and that will actually work."
BizTimes: How is the search for the executive team going? It seems like you are looking for a pretty diverse skillset. Can you elaborate on who you are looking for?
De Vita: "We start(ed) interviews on March 14. The right person needs to understand health care and what's going on in Milwaukee. We're bringing in people that understand Milwaukee or have experience here in the past or have relationships here."

Exelon's Oyster Creek Generating Station resumed producing electricity on May 3 at 1:12 p.m. ET for New Jersey consumers and businesses after safely completing a maintenance outage.
FORKED RIVER, NJ (May 3, 2009) - Exelon's Oyster Creek Generating Station resumed producing electricity on May 3 at 1:12 p.m. ET for New Jersey consumers and businesses after safely completing a maintenance outage.
The plant was manually shut down at 6:04 p.m. ET on April 25 after an equipment failure occurred on one of the plant's two main transformers.
The team repaired the transformer this week and made additional modifications to its power supply to ensure future reliability. In addition, the station extended the outage to perform proactive maintenance to further ready the plant for peak summer operations.
Environmental experts also found and stopped two small leaks in underground pipes believed to be a main source of tritiated water found earlier this month in a concrete vault and groundwater on plant property. Station operators have replaced two lengths of piping, and continue to inspect pipes and a tank in the area as an added measure.
Daily samples of water from the plant's intake and discharge canals have shown no detectable levels of tritium. At no time has there been a threat to employee or public health or safety. For more information, please contact Oyster Creek Communications Manager David Benson at 609-339-9188.
Since 2000, Exelon has invested more than $100 million in the Oyster Creek's systems, components and structures to establish the platform for 20 more years of safe and reliable operations for the Garden State.
Oyster Creek is about 60 miles east of Philadelphia in Ocean County, New Jersey. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of electricity at full power, enough electricity to supply 600,000 typical homes, the equivalent to all homes in Monmouth and Ocean counties combined. In addition, plant workers, through their payrolls, are responsible for more $96 million injected directly into New Jersey's economy.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 480,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

LG unlocked cell phone has allowed for several hands on reviews of their new Optimus Black and Optimus 2X devices. Just before the Consumer Electronics Show, it is clear that most companies will be looking to build hype for their devices and one of the most popular trends for this year is to allow hands on review of these devices.
The Optimus 2X was the star of the hands on review, featuring a NVideo Tegra 2 dual core processor that runs at 1GHz in each of the cores. It is a very powerful mobile device that should be at the forefront of pushing the envelope forward. And offering processors that are the strength that was normally reserved for computers. The graphics on the device looked great, as did the screen. It is able to handle all that is asked of it from Android and moves very smoothly from one screen to another. The HDMI out port looks great when it is connected to displays up to 42 inches in size and no quality is lost on the conversion.
The Optimus Black also received rave reviews. It's 1 GHz OMAP3630 processor paled in comparison to the Tegra, but was still plenty powerful to run Android and all that it requires. It is much thinner than the Tegra, and as a result is much more light. It is a well-manufactured and designed device that fits comfortably in the pocket.
The Optimus Blacks were also running Froyo, which is a highly hyped version of the Android operating system that allows the device to connect to other Android devices and transfer files peer to peer through long range connections. It also has a front facing, 2 megapixel camera that allows you to video chat as has become popular with many other devices.
Overall, both devices looked great and provided the features that everyone was looking for, exceeding expectations in the case of the 2x.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked android phones such as HTC Desire, Unlocked LG Eve, Samsung Captivate i897, etc..
