Unraveling a Brutal Custom
Words from Wiseman
Shooting, Editing, and Reading a Documentary Film
After listening to Errol Morris talk about his craft this week at the Brattle, you might be inclined to hear what another legendary local filmmaker has to say on the subject. Frederick Wiseman will present this year's Radcliffe Institute's Julia S. Phelps Lecture in Art and the Humanities, a talk entitled "Shooting, Editing, And Reading A Documentary Film."
Anita Hill looks back, and ahead
Anita Hill's new book, Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home, probes the importance of the concept of home as a central element for the search for gender and racial equality through personal stories and anecdotes. She was at the Radcliffe Institute to discuss the themes in her new book, but audience members couldn't resist the chance to engage with the author about her time at the center of a national political firestorm.
Anita Hill Talks Social Inequality
Anita Hill, a professor of social policy, law, and women's studies at Brandeis University, urged Americans to closely examine social inequality and work to increase access to the "American Dream" in a lecture at the Radcliffe Institute.
Importing Italian Cuisine
The Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard acquired a much-thumbed copy of Elizabeth David's "Italian Food" with penciled notes in the margins and more notes on slips of paper attached with paper clips. The volume had belonged to Avis DeVoto, whom Knopf hired to Americanize Elizabeth David.
This Book Is 119 Years Overdue
Fellow John Plotz reads "What Middletown Read"—a database project that tracks library readers in Muncie in the early 1900s—and writes about it.
The City-University Connection
WGBH's Callie Crossley discusses a new initiative out of Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute with Robert Sampson.

Prohibition "A Nation of Drunkards" Since the early years of the American Republic, alcohol has been embedded in the fabric of American culture. But by 1830, the average American over 15 years old consumes nearly seven gallons of pure alcohol a year, three times as much as we drink today. Alcohol abuse wreaks havoc on the lives of many families. D

Prohibition "A Nation of Scofflaws" Now illegal to manufacture, transport or sell intoxicating liquor, millions of law-abiding Americans become lawbreakers overnight. Weaknesses in the Volstead Act and its enforcement become clear. Many become victims of the law; alcoholism still exists, and women begin to drink in the speakeasies that replace the male-only saloon. Part 2 of 3G

Exelon Generation's Byron Station will begin a yearlong maintenance project to upgrade equipment inside both its cooling towers.
BYRON, Ill. — Exelon Generation's Byron Station will begin a yearlong maintenance project to upgrade equipment inside both its cooling towers.The 500-foot high towers cool river water used in the electricity-producing part of the facility. The facility's reactors have separate cooling equipment. Exelon employees and approximately two hundred supplemental contractors will replace the towers' baffle-like water filters used for cooling. The work will occur during each of the station's planned fall and spring refueling outages. "This overhaul will aid the station in providing the carbon-free electricity our customers need, which is especially important during this hot summer," said Byron Station Site Vice President Tim Tulon.Workers are staging 50 portable water-cooling units around the base of the Unit 2 tower that will provide additional cooling during a portion of the project. Silt and debris has collected in the filters over decades of electricity production slowing the water cooling process.Local residents will see water vapor emitting from the small water cooling units. Station personnel will determine if the water vapor will have any visual affect on German Church Road motorists. Caution signs will be installed, if needed."Our project will not impede traffic in front of our facility," Tulon said. "We will work with local officials and agencies to ensure the public is made aware of our progress."With both units at full power, the site produces almost 2,300 megawatts net 24 hours a day, enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. Byron Generating Station is in Ogle County, Ill., about 25 miles southwest of Rockford.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

Cyberbullying: What AZ laws are on the books to combat the problem?
Cyberbullying laws vary from state to state
Reporter: Valerie Cavazos
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -- Law enforcement has played an essential role in helping schools deal with bullying and the recent rise in teen suicides. It's a hot topic in schools these days. In fact, this past school year, more schools have called the Tucson Police Department's Gang Intervention Unit to talk to students and staff about the legal issues surrounding cyberbullying. So KGUN9 OYS wanted to know what laws are on the books.
Since cyberbullying is a relatively new phenomenon, most states do not have specific laws on cyberbullying. Arizona has two laws on the books, but as we found out they may be too vague to really combat cyberbullying.
Officer Delia Marquez doesn't mince words when she's teaching students and school staff about bullying and cyberbullying. She spells out the rules .. so we asked her about the two state laws that exist. One is HB 2368 - which requires school district governing boards to adopt and enforce procedures that prohibit bullying on school grounds. "It's not in the books that say it's against the law to bully, but what's against the law is the actual acts that make up bullying, like the threats and intimidation," said Officer Marquez.
But when it comes to threats in cyberspace, the closest law you'll find was passed just last year as HB 2415. It includes harassment, bullying and intimidating with the use of electronic technology.
KGUN 9 asked Officer Marquez if that law was enough. She answered, "I think that's very vague. In my opinion it's vague just because how you see it and how another principal sees it. It can be totally two different things. and I think it needs to be written in black and white, verbatim, what they expect administration to do."
Arizona's school districts are given autonomy in how they define and handle bullying and cyberbullying. Officer Marquez says without clear definitions of what constitutes cyberbullying -- schools may not call police if situations get serious and many students are involved. For example, police are finding more students videotaping kids being bullied and posting them on YouTube or Facebook. Officer Marquez said, "I mean there's proof of what's going on obviously, by the videotaping of it. but the people who are videotaping and then putting it out there, i think they're just as guilty, but my hands are tied in law enforcement."
Officer Marquez says the laws need to be more technical -- spelling out specific terms when it comes to social media -- and how cyberbullying is defined and enforced in schools and by police. She said then they've have a more effective legal tool to use when dealing with this issue.
KGUN9 also learned that the Unit was told a few months ago that it would be disbanded, however, we've been told that TPD administrators may reconsider the move.

Just as 591 Jefferson Community College students were about to graduate, commencement speaker Stephen H. Can gave them one last lesson: the power of three.
Mr. Can, class of 1980 and creator of the Jefferson-Can Scholars Program, said the best things come in threes, such as letters, groupings of items and pieces of advice, at the colleges 49th commencement Friday night.
If you keep it simple by thinking in threes, you will do well, he said.
What students were left with was:
n Find out what you really love doing and do it great.
n Take risks. This is uncomfortable. You will fail. Its OK.
n Enjoy life. You only get one.
Mr. Can also received the Jefferson Citation, an award for a person who shows a commitment to education and the colleges mission. He formed the Jefferson-Can program in 2007 to give JCC scholarships to students in the top 15 percent of their graduating class.
However, a fair percentage of the students at JCC are adult learners. The college recognized that by choosing Robert E. Bowen, who earned an associate of arts and sciences degree in chemical dependency and an associate of sciences degree in human services, as this years student speaker. The self-described jack-of-all-trades is a father, husband and vice president of the campus Human Services Club. He has also maintained a spot on the Presidents List while at the college.
Just as Mr. Bowen shared his personal milestone, the college shared its own: JCC issued its 20,000th diploma. The college has been open 52 years.
President Carole A. McCoy asked, Will the student who received the 20,000th degree please stand up?
Every graduation candidate stood up to claim it.
Were proud of each and every one of those 20,000 graduates, Mrs. McCoy said.
Just like Mr. Bowen, many students have worked diligently to earn their associate degree from JCC.
Its a long time coming, said Cape Vincent resident Julie R. Schindler, 48. I took a 30-year hiatus.
The individual studies graduate said life had gotten in the way when she graduated from high school.
Nervous, said Henderson resident Colleen M. Bellinger, 34, describing her feelings. Im excited. This is the next chapter in my life.
She received an associate degree in business administration and hopes to get into the workforce as soon as possible.
In addition to the associate degree graduates, 16 students received bachelors degrees from Keuka College, one of JCCs higher education partners. Mrs. McCoy said of the 16, 14 students had previously graduated with JCC diplomas.
One of those students is Adams Center resident Timothy W. Larkin Jr., 32.
I feel great, he said before receiving a bachelors degree in social work. Glad its over with.
He plans to come back to JCC in the fall for the Greater Rochester Collaborative Master of Social Work program among the community college, SUNY Brockport and Nazareth College in the Rochester area. The program was added to the colleges higher education program last week.
Congratulations to us, class of 2013, Mr. Bowen said during his speech. Go Cannoneers!

ECHA calls for comments on proposals for harmonized classification and labeling of nine copper compounds
December 26, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA; Helsinki) has invited comments on proposal for harmonized classification and labeling (CLH) for nine copper compounds: copper (II) oxide; copper (II) dihydroxide; copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid); copper sulfate pentahydrate; copper (I) thiocyanate; copper (I) oxide; dicopper chloride trihydroxide; copper (II) carbonate—copper (II) hydroxide (1:1); and Bordeaux mixture, reaction products of copper sulfate with calcium dihydroxide. The CLH proposals for these copper compounds were submitted by France. The public...

Social Advocacy
One of the mandates of social work is to advance the interests of social justice, particularly on behalf of populations or groups that have been disadvantaged, disempowered, or discriminated against. This web site is designed to help you influence social policy (including governmental decision-makers) for the purposes of advancing social justice. The School of Social Work does not affiliate with any particular political party and believes that social work students and practitioners, regardless of political affiliation, can contribute to the advancement of social justice.
Professional Responsibility
The International Federation of Social Workers states in its definition of social work, "The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilising theories of human behaviour and social systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work" ( http://www.ifsw.org/f38000032.html) Similarly, the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics provides, "Social workers should engage in social and political action that seeks to ensure that all people have equal access to the resources, employment, services, and opportunities they require to meet their basic human needs and to develop fully. Social workers should be aware of the impact of the political arena on practice and should advocate for changes in policy and legislation to improve social conditions in order to meet basic human needs and promote social justice."
Ways to Influence Social Policy
The following points describe some ways that social workers and their constituencies can influence social policy for the advancement of social justice. If you have any other suggestions for us to include in this web page, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Encourage people to register to vote: Participation in political processes is vital to the functioning of a free and democratic society. Disenfranchised groups are often underrepresented as registered voters. As social workers, we can work with community groups to remove barriers to registration - providing information to people who do not have information, translating information about registration into the languages of people who are not fluent in English, providing information orally to people who have low levels of literacy, providing transportation options for people who do not have cars or other forms of transportation, explaining the importance of voting to those who do not think it is important, and countering misinformation about registering to vote for people who come from countries where governments used this type of information to punish those who did not support a particular party, etc.
- Providing Forums for Constituents to meet with Government Officials and Candidates for Office: Open town hall meetings or more private meetings are useful for creating an exchange of information between government officials and their constituencies. Just asking questions about social justice issues informs officials that people are concerned about these issues. Often, the best time to influence government officials is during a political campaign, when candidates are vying for support. Meet the candidates meetings ensures that attendees have better information to base their votes upon and that candidates understand the views of their constituents.
- Organize Coalitions of People: Although the voice of a single person is important, the voices of many may help ensure that a particular viewpoint is heard. Encourage people with like interests to work together, and help disparate group see their common interests so that they can work together to promote social issues (e.g., people who are trying to eradicate racism and people who are trying to eradicate sexism have a common interest in promoting human rights generally - both groups can work together on one another's causes).
- Provide Groups with Alternatives for Promoting a Social Justice Cause - Find out what type of actions might be most effective to advance the cause - e.g., a low-level meeting with specific government bureaucrats, a media campaign, a letter writing or email campaign, a public nonviolent demonstration, or a research project to gather information that can be used to inform decision makers based upon objective data.
- Make information Available - As Paulo Freire contends, information is power. People who are in less powerful positions can gain power through information. Ensure that the groups you are helping have access to quality education, literacy programs, computers and Internet access, newspapers and other media. Simply providing people with the names of their municipal, state, or national representatives can help people make their voices heard. Also, provide people with information about political and decision-making processes (e.g., how a city makes decisions about zoning or how a police department establishes its hiring policies). Note that Florida's Sunshine Laws require most government meetings to be open to the public.
The following information is intended to help you help others promote positive social change. We give credit to Influencing State Policy for some of the information contained below. As its web site states, "Influencing State Policy (ISP) assists social work faculty and students in learning to effectively influence the formation, implementation, and evaluation of state-level policy and legislation." The ISP web site contains excellent information, links, and news. While ISP focuses upon state policy , the information below also pertains to national and local policy.

Resources for Information on Voter Rights
The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has a website ( http://www.ncsl.org/legislatures-elections/elections/state-vote981.aspx) that provides state information about voting laws and a user-friendly map ( http://www.ncsl.org/legislatures-elections/elections/voter-id.aspx) defining voter identification requirements for each state.
The Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law produced an analysis of voting law changes ( http://www.brennancenter.org/content/resource/2012_summary_of_voting_law_changes/) and recently released a paper analyzing the challenges faced by voters in obtaining valid voter identification ( http://www.brennancenter.org/content/resource/the_challenge_of_obtaining_voter_identification).

Volunteer Opportunities
Another way to contribute to social justice is through volunteering with charitable and social agencies. The following links provide information on volunteer opportunities in south Florida:
- Broward County Volunteer Clearinghouse
- FAU Volunteer Center
- Martin County Volunteer and Community Resource Center
For most people, our tendency is to communicate with only those who have similar political ideologies. For the purposes of social action, it is important to communicate with people of diverse political ideologies.
* If you have any other advocacy groups or political parties you think we should list, please let us know ( firstname.lastname@example.com); the School of Social Work does not officially support any of these organizations - whether or not you agree with their positions on different issues, we hope you will find this information useful. These listings are not intended to be either exhaustive or exclusive.

Nokia is soon going to be launched the still unnamed RM-626 which if early reports are to be believed, is a variation of the soon to be shipped Unlocked Nokia ( N8 ). This new phone will be either classified as N9 or may be as a part of the C series going by the C0 sign on the top left hand corner of the phone. We have managed to check out videos which show off this phone.
Earlier Negri had given us a tantalizing look at this phone by giving a set of three photographs of a prototype phone from Nokia. However they have given us a four minute hands on video of this phone. After watching this video, we have seen that there is C0-00 marked on the back of the phone, although the phone setting says N00. However this is beside the point as this phone really succeeds in the features that it provides the users.
In terms of looks, this phone looks really like the N8 but with only slight changes. It is thinner and has a sliding key pad which feels really smooth and dependable. Its keys look similar to the Nokia N97 Unlocked Gadget which is not necessarily a good thing. However, on the plus side, it has 4 rows of keys rather than the 3 of the earlier. This therefore means that the space bar is finally where it should be. The RM-626 therefore will be a hit among the QWERTY fans.
Although the N8 comes with a 12 megapixel camera with a Xenon flash, The RM-626 has an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, however one need not be discouraged as the camera quality is not really that bad. As for the software, this phone seems to be using the Symbian^3 platform which means that the MeeGo and Maemo are going to be disappointed. The prices and availability is still unknown to us.

MASSENA - Dr. Jonathan R. Zysik, a Massena dentist, was a little late in celebrating Dental Health Month this year, but that didnt diminish the importance of his message to young students at the Massena Nursery School and Madrid-Waddington Central School.
Properly brushing and flossing, he said, gets rid of the food stuck in your teeth that can cause cavities if they remain.
Dental Health Month is celebrated in February and, even though he had to forgo his visit to the schools until Monday, Dr. Zysik said they were important - not just to stress proper brushing techniques, but also to alleviate any fears youngsters might have of going to a dentist. He recommended that children should see their dentist for the first time around age 1.
Its just to let them know what the dentist does and talk about brushing. We try to make the first visit more fun than anything. The first few visits they get their teeth polished and checked and get a prize, he said.
Then, when the youngster needs more dental work, theyre not as apt to be scared, Dr. Zysik said.
Theyve already come several times, he said.
During his visit to the Massena Nursery School, he shared a story called Brushing Teeth that reinforced the importance of taking care of ones teeth.
Does everybody brush their teeth before going to bed? he asked, with some students saying they also brush them other times during the day.
You should brush at least two times a day, Dr. Zysik said, adding that they should use a new toothbrush when the bristles start to fray, or about every three months.
Luke, the character in the story, uses a small amount of toothpaste, starts by brushing the side of his teeth and then makes sure he brushes each tooth.
When hes done he spits out the toothpaste. He does not eat it, right? Dr. Zysik said.
The students had an opportunity to practice their toothbrushing technique on a staff alligator with teeth, and honed their flossing skills using blocks that had been built to resemble teeth, with pieces of Play-Doh tucked between them. Rather than using floss, the youngsters used a small rope to remove the Play-Doh.
To get them started on their dental journey, every student received a gift bag that included a toothbrush and mini tube of toothpaste, along with a miniature bracelet featuring a smiling tooth and the words, Brush, Floss, Smile. They also received some tips for parents on how to properly care for their childs teeth.

Accounting is a fairly broad field, and job responsibilities vary greatly. For example,
one accountant may be involved in the design and management of an entire accounting
system for a business. In large firms, accountants often specialize in areas such as
payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash, inventory, purchases or sales.
In smaller firms it is common to have full-charge bookkeepers handling the entire
accounting functions.
Accounting professionals are often thought of as number and ledger experts. However,
math and analytical skills are only part of their job. Each day they may be called upon
to communicate clearly with clients, co-workers, auditors and managers. These skills,
along with their familiarity of the internal operations of the business, may lead to
opportunities for advancement and promotion.
Accounting is a demanding course of study. It is also a demanding profession. Both
require a high level of concentration and the ability to work with numbers and people.
Accountants must be able to analyze and interpret information, have effective verbal
and writing skills, and work independently as well as in a team environment.
The outlook for jobs in accounting is excellent. Nationally, a shortage of accountants
is expected. Locally, the job market fluctuates somewhat with the Spokane economy.
Business Transfer Students: To get your BTA you must complete ACCT&201, ACCT&202, and ACCT&203.
The other three courses listed are not prerequites and do NOT replace the three required courses.
Click on the course title to view course description.
Students should pursue an
in Business DTA/MRP if they are interested in transferring to a four-year college to earn a bachelor's degree in
accounting, economics or another business-related field.
The Associate in Business degree program consists of liberal arts classes and includes the first few accounting
courses required at four-year schools. Students interested in the transfer program should obtain the current
college catalog and transfer manual from their intended institution to determine what requirements can be satisfied
at SFCC. Generally, all courses transfer except those taught at four-year schools with course numbers of 300 or higher.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Fans of Miranda Lambert had to wait a little longer than expected for Friday nights concert.
Gaits were supposed to open at 5pm, but due to a severe thunderstorm that moved through the Bangor area, people didn't start to move through the gates of the Waterfront Pavilion till around 6:30pm.
Many of those fans relieved to find that the smell of the seating area had improved from past concerts. Concert organizers met with city officials to discuss complaints they were getting about an odor coming from the turf. As a result of that meeting, City Crews worked through out the week to add additional drainage as well as replace the grass turf with a new stone surface to get things ready for what is expected to be a sell out crowd for Miranda Lambert.
"Oh it's going to be an amazing show. I mean this is still one of the premier venues in the northeast to see events regardless of a stinky couple of show runs where we had," said Waterfront Concert President, Alex Gray.
This is the second time that Miranda Lambert will be performing at the waterfront, she last took the stage in 2010.

|Two Famous Bridges Celebrated
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 12 September 2012 06:24
Yesterday, a 'tale of two bridges,' as two internationally famous bridges were celebrated. Visitors and staff of the Blue Ridge Parkway commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Linn Cove Viaduct in ceremony and speeches within view of the structure.
The September 11th date was chosen for the Parkway celebration because the construction of the Parkway itself kicked off on the date. For the last link of that project, the viaduct, Italian craftsmen were called to Linville to do much of fitting the puzzle of cement parts together—none identical—to create the viaduct. The Blue Ridge Parkway is the most visited National Park and the Linn Cove Viaduct is its most popular. It became the option after Grandfather Mountain owner Hugh Morton refused the National Park Services' first plan to tunnel through Grandfather Mountain. Then the celebration shifted to the top of Grandfather Mountain, where the Mile High Swinging Bridge celebrated 60 years of facing the winds atop Grandfather. Harris Prevost told the gathering about the vision of the man who influenced both projects, Hugh Morton, "The mountain, in a sense, is crossing its own bridge, transitioning from one era to another, but still keeping true to Hugh Morton's vision. Part of that vision was Mr. Morton's very strong feeling that he didn't own Grandfather Mountain—he was its caretaker."

Powerful Gaming Rig with a Moderate Price Tag
April 26, 2014
MIddle-Aged White Guy,
Pflugerville, TX
For Model: Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7170 Laptop
Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5
"The decision over which version of an item to buy comes often down to a balance of price, product and delivery. The best product might be too expensive and take a long time to arrive. Look to lower the price and you start compromising on the configuration. Versions immediately available might not met requirements for configuration and price. For me, the Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7170 hit the sweet spot for all three. I was looking for a portable computer with enough horsepower to smoothly run graphics intensive games. A middle to high end gaming rig available for immediate shipment from a dependable retailer with a price tag within my budget. The performance of the A7170 has exceeded my expectations. Boot up is the fastest that I experience in years. The Intel i7 CPU and 16 gigs of RAM is fast enough to run Windows 8.1, my productivity software, games and play videos. Dual GPUs allow for lower power consumption and heat generation using the Intel Graphics chipset while running less demanding programs, switching over to the Nvidia 770M GPU to keep frame rates high in Civilization V, Skyrim and Warcraft even on the highest graphics settings in those games. Video playback is smooth and without interruption. The 17" widescreen is pleasing to view, giving movies and games an epic feeling. I haven't travelled with this laptop so I can't speak to the portability but it does fit into the large computer backpack that I routinely use. Mostly, I use the laptop while sitting with my spouse on the couch. The weight and size of the laptop are reasonably comfortable sitting on the lap. The placement of the air intake vents on the bottom makes a cooling pad a requirement (I recommend the Cooler Master U3 with three adjustable fans). Placement of the Nvidia GPU on the right side of the laptop keeps the hottest part of the computer away from the left hand, a major plus for right-hand mouse and keyboard gamers. I find the placement of the right side USB ports and headset jacks too far forward to make them usable as I am always hitting the plugs. That is how I damaged the audio jacks on my previous Toshiba laptop and rendered inoperable more than one gaming headset with a USB plug. I am delighted with my purchase and user experience with the Toshiba A7170. It is a powerful machine that meets all of my requirements."

Modeling flexibility fused with tube amp technology and performance.
Line 6's Spider Valve 212 combo is the result of a groundbreaking collaborative effort between living-legend amp designer Reinhold Bogner and renowned amp-modeling upstarts Line 6. The Spider Valve MkII 212 40W combo amp offers the best of both worlds: brawny, boutique-style tube tone, and the latest, most advanced Line 6 amp modeling with complete flexibility and deep editing.
Spider Valve MkII 212 offers more amplifier models, effects and sophisticated features than its predecessor, the original Spider Valve 212 combo, but its all-tube design and boutique-style integrity keep it firmly rooted in the Spider Valve amp family.
Acclaimed amp tones
Spider Valve MkII 212 has the tools and tones you need to build your sound from the ground up. It features 16 of the most advanced Line 6 amp models, which were inspired by the most revered American, British and European heads and combos. Each one was custom-tuned for Line 6 Spider Valve MkII amps.
Get in front of sparkling clean tones inspired by a Hiwatt Custom 100, syrupy smooth drive tones inspired by a mix of a '65 Marshall JTM-45, a '58 Fender Bassman and a '63 Fender Vibroverb, British pop/rock tones inspired by a Vox AC-30 Top Boost, high-gain onslaughts inspired by a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and a Diezel Herbert, Class A crunch inspired by a Divided by 13 9/15, classic Class A breakup inspired by an Orange AD-30, and more! Store tones from every gig with the Line 6 Spider Valve's 128 user-programmable presets.
Need to shape your tone? Tweak the Bass, Mid and Treble knobs just like you would on original vintage amps. When you choose an amp model, the EQ section behaves just like the EQ section of the modeled amplifier. Spider Valve MkII 212 amplifier gives you a complete, organic and fully authentic representation of its 16 vintage and modern amplifiers.
An instant collection of essential FX
Start smart and dive deep with the unprecedented control of Line 6 Smart FX. It features 20 brilliant effects, delivering unprecedented color, adjustability and routing options. You can tweak up to 6 parameters of any effect—including the intelligent Smart Harmony and Pitch Glide, and easy-to-use 14-second Quick Loop—and route it pre or post for an extraordinary collection of tone-shaping tools. Plus, you get every guitarist's required palette of colors including beautiful Delays, tangy Mods, lush Reverbs and more. Up to 4 effects can be used simultaneously.
Fully editable, deeply sophisticated
Line 6 Spider Valve MkII 212 is poised to become a workhorse amp for all kinds of pro players. Its seamless integration into MIDI rigs allows for quick changes to all front-panel controls, easy synching of your time-based effects (to themselves and to your drummer's click-track), as well as other time- and energy-saving features.
Plus, two output modes deliver easy and effective solutions for direct-recording and gigging. Performance Mode lets you send a signal, which provides tube and modeling interaction, via the XLR out to the front-of-house engineer. Studio Mode bypasses the tubes to send the platinum-album Line 6 modeling only.
Brawny tube tone
Many so-called tube amps employ low-voltage "marketing" tubes to add authenticity to their "tube amp" claim. Spider Valve MkII 212 boasts bona fide Bogner-designed preamp and power amp sections that run at lethal voltages (about 300 volts and 450 volts, respectively) to produce exceptional depth, tonal coloration and richness.
The signal from the Line 6 front-end flows into the pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes to produce creamy, cascading distortions and enriched tube harmonics. The perfectly matched pair of 6L6 power tubes then drives the two Celestion Vintage 30 speakers to provide unprecedented sonic impact.
Exceptional feel
After being poured from the pair of 12-inch Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, your tone soaks up the spanky thump of the tuned three-quarter closed-back cabinet. The result is a tight low-end punch for a truly exceptional feel.
Hands-free control and more
Optional Line 6 FBV foot controllers deliver out-of-the-box volume/wah, pitch control, preset control and more. FBV Shortboard MkII pairs perfectly with Spider Valve MkII 212 to offer complete, hands-free control of the on-board Spider Valve MkII effects including Quick Loop, Smart Harmony and more. The bright and backlit oversized LCD makes it easy to see preset names and the chromatic tuner.
Let your music out in all its screaming glory.

This amplifier is excellent! The wheels included are a great addition considering it is 90 pounds. If your are looking for a practice amp this may not be for you though. This thing is extremely loud but sounds great quiet too. I bought mine used and it was a great deal because I made it like new with some gorilla glue.

This is the first review I have ever written for any piece of gear. I have owned and used many different amps, guitars, and effects, and probably have read over 1500 of other peoples reviews on other equipment. However, I feel compelled to share my experience with this amp.First off, Line 6 is a reputable company and do offer some great products in general. Especially the new relay wireless units. I have owned the AX2 212, POD XT live, X3 live, and Pocket pod. This amp is a gimmick! It does have some good sounds, but it is plagued with way too many problems. The first one they sent, blew one of the power tubes after only about 2 hours of use. The second one they sent was fine, but sounded very thin, and brittle sounding. Took out the chassis, and the preamp tubes said "12AX7 CHINA" Nice! Put in JJ's and that helped a lot.Main problem: Master volume is unusable! You have to have the preset volumes set to at least 50%, otherwise the amp makes crazy popping sounds when switching between presets. Talked to people on the L6 forum and they told me to adjust my volumes, and then try it. Voila! No more popping. However, the master volume pot is way too sensitive with the channels up that high. You can pretty much tap it with your finger and the volume jumps all over the place.Second problem: The amp is advertised as having Celestion Vintage 30's. Well, the speakers do say exactly that, but what they don't tell you, is that these are Chinese made Celestions. They are not true Vintage 30's!! There is a tiny little sticker on the speakers that say "Made in China"!!The construction seems okay, but definitely not even close to Marshalls or Mesa's. Acceptable though. The amp is fairly light (60lbs) for being a tube amp. But there are only two small transformers, and all the preamp is digital circuit boards, so that shaves a lot of weight.The amp has some very nice sounds, despite the problems. Throw an eq through the loop, and you have a giggable amp. But good luck with the menu on the amp, you have to use the computer software to really navigate through and find your sound. I am a turn knob kind of guy, so I probably shouldn't have bought it, but I wanted best bang for the buck. Good luck, if you end up with this amp.

Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
Great modeling tone with tube power. PC interface is nice to have for mass/quick edits. But the cons are that I've been through 2 FBV shortboards and the knobs are a bit cheesy and plastic. Hard for it to withstand the rigors of playing out. But nice to not have to carry a fridge o' effects and 4X12's.

Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
I have owned this amp for about two years. I have played maybe twenty gigs with it. Most of my other gigs in that time period I have had to use my back-up amp because this one always has a problem.(Now the good) Once you truly learn how to work this amp the sound rivals ANY amp that I have ever heard! I don't care what those amp snobs say about Line 6 hearing is believing. In 20 years they will be tracking these down at guitar shows for a premium price. To sum this up if you are keeping this amp stationary for recording purposes it should be great. But forget taking it on the road. It will screw you at the worst possible moment.(Note: I treat this amp with extreme care) This thing is like an old sports car. It's in the shop more than it's on the road. Thanks for reading, good luck.

Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
After a three year hiatus from the local metal scene during which I sold almost all of my gear, the music in me can no longer wait. I used to play thru the HD100 setup (head and cab) which was great all around. My band played 1000+ capacity venues and fans loved our sound. (My lead player used the same rig, too.) I just purchased this 212 combo and it has even more features than my old HD setup, including the pitch shift/smart harmony and the 14 second looper. Still, it's just as easy to use and the tone quality is fantastic. People who whine about hybrids and tone either haven't heard these, or they are capable of hearing things 99.9% of the rest of us can't! To me, having everything built in and easy to access with the FBV shortboard is vastly more efficient than buying a big pile of pedals, and it's way way less expensive. I do have a few issues with it, which are: 1) the volumes are very sensitive. Playing at a discreet volume is basically impossible... 2) The knobs are pretty cheap feeling compared to the ones on my HD head, and the channel volume actually seems like it might be loose behind the faceplate...I have used Line 6 products for a long time - I had the Spider solid state half stack before the Bogner designed tube rig, and neither had a single issue while I owned them. I am concerned about the Line 6 service as I've heard they are slow in getting things done, so I hope the channel volume knob doesn't really need to be fixed...
Other than that, I'd recommend this amp to anyone who plays guitar, live or anywhere else. Tones are beautiful, from smooth cleans to giant metal chugging, and everything in between...The FBV shortboard will definitely be my next purchase, so I can really utilize the features while I'm playing...
Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
This amp has a known issue with volume and popping when switching from channel to channel. This amp is unusable at low volume. Line6 knows about the issue. Don't look for them to fix it because they won't. I called their tech support and they told me there was a known issue and to take it to a repair place. I did... drove 90 miles t the nearest authorized repair fascility. These people call Line6 and what do they say... There is no issue, it's just how the amp is. So the situation is... Line6 designed an amp that is unusable at low volume after their firmware upgrade. Line6 said that most 40 watt tube amps are very loud at one or two. I have a Mesa Dual Rectifier 100 watt head that is still usable and sounds great at low volume.
Amazing features. Good sound. This amp is probably the type of technology most amps should head toward.
Well built.
It's great for live playing. Not good for low volume practicing.
Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
I have owned 3 different Line6 amps: My first one was the Spider 2 150, and I've been a huge fan since then. I played that one for 5 years, and was really impressed with its durability. It's been dropped more than once, and had a lot of whiskey spilled on it... played tons of shows and still works like it's brand new (looks a little like heck now, though). I bought the Spider Valve in October of '09 and it was has been such a good amp! There is a major difference in tone between this and the original Spider 2 that I bought. I am still using the same FBV express pedal, though I've had to replace the cat 5 cable more than once. Basically I will keep this amp and, ideally buy a 40 watt Spider Valve MKII combo....I'm getting too old to lug my two Marshall MF280s and the Spider Valve 100W head around to 2 shows a week and practice, etc. PLUS, 100W is way too much to play smaller venues.
I really don't use half of the features available. It is very versatile and I'm in love with the simplicity: I plug in my one pedal board (FBV express) and it's all ready. I even ocasionally run the POD 2.0 so that I can run a loop station without the effects changing as I switch channels.
The vinyl is pealing from inside the amp..makes it look a little cheap.
SO much power, so much clarity. The tube tone is phenomenal. I really want to get the 40 Combo version, because I have never had my 100W Spider Valve above 3! I think the tubes will really go crazy it cranked a little!
Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
If anything ever happened to this thing I would get another one in a heart beat.
I was really suprised with the quality of effects on this amp. A lot of the Line 6 amps have bad reviews because they sound digital ... or maybe they are just the cool thing to rip on. I however disagree. The tone that this amp produces is very full sounding with the right ajustments of the presence knob. I love going from David Gilmore to Coheed and Cambria and then to All that Remains. Truley an all around amp.
The quality of the amp is out standing mine was damagedand the delay knob didn't work. I contacted line 6 they sent me to a repair shop in the area paid for the repair and I've never had another problem. I have the the first model of this amp so its a couple years old and is still going gig after gig.
I give it a 10 out of 10 in value because there isn't another amp out there that is this versitile and this good sounding. If you want half the sounds and effects this amp has you will spend a lot more on effect pedals then this.
Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
This amp is a great amp. I play in a band, and they like to play LOUD. I don't even put the volume on this amp halfway up because that would be too loud. I usually put it on around "3", which is plenty loud to create a good mix. You'll easily overpower everyone if you crank it up all the way.As for features, this has quite a lot. You can craft your own tones directly from the amp (seriously, it goes way deeper then just "Mid, Bass, Treble", "Clean, Insane", etc.). I did own a pedal (1) before this amp. Now there isn't a need for one. Just get the pedal for this amp and save your 100+ sounds in it.
Comments about Line 6 Spider Valve 212 MKII 40W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
I have read a lot of reviews about this amp, both positive and negative. The fact is this - if you aren't an experimenter and someone that likes to "play" with your amp, and if you have a lot invested in pedalboards, this is NOT your amp. If you're like me - fairly new to playing, few or no pedals, and you want the sounds of a 50-piece pedalboard and 30 different amps, than this is your baby. First I used just the factory settings, but if you're a nerd like me, use the software to edit all of the settings and this becomes a MONSTER amp. Now everyone comments on my "sound" even though I only have about 14 months of playing under my belt. I will make a few suggestions - get the Shortboard!!! It should just come with the amp in my opinion. Finally, replace the 4 tubes. I went with JJ Golds for the 12AX7's and Black Sable 6L6's for the power tubes and WOW! you could HEAR the difference! I am impressed with this amp, with the software, and with the tones I seem to be able to get out of it. It can be a bit "picky" at times and takes some tweaking, but ohhh, the sweet sounds!
