|A Helper Legion player takes a big cut during double header action within their current home stand.
After the amazing comeback win the week before, the Helper American Legion resumed their schedule with a long home stand. On Wednesday July 18th Granger came to town for a double header. Hoping for a sweep, the team won the first game, 7-1 but dropped the second with a lopsided 10-1 loss.
In the first game they jumped out on top with two runs in the second inning on single from Brady Wilde, a double from Kyler Edgehouse and a double from Jordan Moynier. They added a run in the 4th on a single from Edgehouse and an RBI single from Aaron Sandoval.
In the fifth, a walk to Thompson was followed by a home run by JJ Blue put two more runs up on the board. Granger's lone run came in the 5th inning. A blast from Sandoval and back to back singles from Trevor Thompson and Blue pushed the final two runs across the plate in the 6th inning.
Jordan Moynier pitched a complete game to pick up his second win in a row.
Coach Cisneros quickly summed up the night cap. "The second game was very disappointing and we played with no effort and took the loss 10-1. We had 2 hits total and did nothing to help our pitching." Tyler Turcasso took the loss on the mound.
Game 1 R H E
Granger 1 4 3
Helper 7 12 0
WP-Moynier, LP-Felion 2b-Edgehouse(H), Pickler(G). HR-Sandoval(H), Blue(H).
Game 2 R H E
Granger 10 14 1
Helper 1 2 1
Continuing the home stand on Thursday Helper took on West. First order of business was to finish up a previous game that was suspended in the fourth. The play picked up the first game with the score tied at 8 going into the fifth inning. West broke open the tie with five runs in the sixth inning. Helper answered with only three in the seventh resulting in a 13-10 loss.
Pitcher Brett Johnson took the loss. "He received no help from our defense as we committed six errors overall in the game," commented Cisneros after the loss.
In the second game Helper jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the 4th. Edgehouse was the starter and did a very good job for five innings. It was the fifth when West got going with two runs and then exploded for eight more in the sixth. Wilde took over the pitching duties in the sixth. Five hits, a walk and an error allowed West to the put the game out of reach.
Helper scored two runs in the seventh but it was not enough and went down to an 11 -5 loss. Helper managed only 6 hits in the game. "The loss was a very disappointing loss that put our league record at 8-7 for the year. We have yet to lose a league game on the road this year, but have not been so lucky at home." Cisneros stated. "Usually a team's focus is very good at home and not good on the road, but this year has been completely he opposite."
Game 2 H R E
West 11 10 1
Helper 5 8 1
Wrapping up play for the week, Beaver was in town for two non-league games July 21. Helper won the first game 10-8 on a walk off home run by Wilde in the seventh. Haden Basinger pitched a complete game. Sandoval had a great game with the bat, going 3-3 including a homer in the first inning. Thompson also had a nice game with two doubles.
Helper pounded out a 7-1 lead after four innings in game two of the double-header. Beaver managed only one more run in the 7th and the final was 7-2 for the home boys. Sandoval and Blue homered again in this game and Thompson had single and double.
Cisneros was much happier with his team on Saturday.
"These were two good wins at home," he said. "These games were scheduled to get some guys some extra time and some extra work before heading into the state the tournament." He went on to say, "This is our last week of regular season games. We travel to Kearns tonight to take on the team who is currently 15-1 and in first place. We play Tooele at home Wednesday and they are 6-10. We finish with Murray Friday night at home and Murray's record in 12-4. These are all import games and will decide how we are seeded in the state tournament."
Wednesday and Friday are the last chance to see the team in action at home before they head to tournament play. Game time will be at 7 p.m. on both nights.

I have created a ASP-based web page that queries an access database for chemical sampling data, and then uses a PHP-script to generate charts from each of the existing chemical compounds in the query. Like this:
1. ASP code with query to filter out chemical data for station x from all years
2. For each compound in the query, call a PHP-script generating a chart using
<img source="chart.php?compound=COMPOUND"/>
3. End ASP-script
Both scripts run fast and smooth, but sometimes (the first time the page is called) some of the charts are not downloaded correctly, or at least show up as red crosses. If the page is refreshed all charts show up.
Can someone explain to me where the problem is? Is the PHP too slow, or the ASP too fast, or too many compounds asked for at once. You can check the page out at http://www.lagansvattenrad.se/htm/utdata.asp. Any advice as to where the bottleneck is would be much appreciated.
Regards, Martin

Every day, and especially this time of year, individuals encounter an illness or injury and a decision is often made to go to the emergency room and seek treatment. While many times this is the right decision to make, many more times a more appropriate place to seek treatment is at a doctor's office or clinic.
When to go to the emergency room:
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you or a family member is experiencing any of the following symptoms and/or complaints: heart attack, uncontrollable bleeding, severe allergic reaction, stroke, fracture, and difficulty breathing.

/ Ogallala Aquifer Initiative
Loading Tree...
Using a comprehensive set of conservation practices, the Ogallala Aquifer Initiative (OAI) aims to reduce aquifer water use, improve water quality and enhance the economic viability of croplands and rangelands in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Currently, the use of groundwater from the aquifer is unsustainable as withdrawals exceed the natural recharge of the aquifer. Intensive agricultural and industrial practices threaten the quality and quantity of the water source.
America's stewardship of this natural resource is critical. Stretching from western Texas to South Dakota, the Ogallala Aquifer supports nearly one-fifth of the wheat, corn, cotton and cattle produced in the United States. Underlying approximately 225,000 square miles of the Great Plains, water from the aquifer is vital to agricultural, municipal and industrial development, making up 30 percent of all groundwater used for irrigation in America.
The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationists in OAI states collaborated with local conservation districts, state environmental agencies, land grant universities and NRCS State Technical Advisory Committees to complete inventories and determine high priority resource concerns within the OAI area.
OAI is designed to reduce the quantity of water removed from the aquifer, improve water quality using conservation practices and enhance the economic viability of OAI-area croplands and rangelands by:
To achieve these goals, NRCS will work with landowners to implement conservation practices such as:

Publications and Resources:
State-specific sites:
Conservation activities are carried out using NRCS's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and funding provided by state and local agencies.
The socially disadvantaged and limited resource farmers and ranchers in the project area have separate funding sources.
Agricultural producers will experience immediate benefits from participating in OAI through improved irrigation efficiency. Economic benefits include:
Improved water management reduce expenditures for energy, chemicals and labor inputs, while enhancing revenues through higher crop yields and improved crop quality.
Wildlife Protection – Increased river flow in the OAI region as a result of conservation measures will benefit the endangered interior least tern, whooping crane, pallid sturgeon and the threatened piping plover.
Water Conservation – Efficient irrigation systems and water management practices help conserve water and maintain farm profitability in the Ogallala Aquifer region. These practices also reduce the impact of irrigated production agriculture on water quantity and quality.
Water Quality – Improved water management helps minimize offsite water quality impacts of irrigated production agriculture by:
NRCS is building a foundation of partners from non-profit and private organizations, local, state, and federal governments and individuals across the Nation. Whether these partnerships augment funding sources, increase return on investment, or provide boots-on- the-ground support, NRCS and its partners are committed to helping people help the land.
NRCS collaborates with local conservation districts, state environmental agencies and land grant universities to complete inventories and determine high priority resource concerns within the OAI area.

The 117 AD prequel to SNL's "The Ladies Man" Neil Marshall's epic Centurion clobbered us with a trailer today and it looks badass. The movie, starring Michael Fassbender, McNulty, and Bond babe Olga Kurylenko, tells the story of 7 Roman soldiers trapped behind enemy lines after their army is massacred. In the film, the Descent director follows the soldiers as they fight for survival while being stalked and killed by a gang of sexy French chicks. It's like a PBS version of The Warriors. Except in this case the Lizzies are far more likely to decapitate their enemies with hatchets. (IGN) Witness the massacre after the jump. The film opens April 23rd in the UK with no set US release date at this time.
Bill Carter is ready to write again. The New York Times TV industry writer is hard at work on a sequel of sorts to The Late Shift, the behind-the-scenes look at the dirty pool involved to succeed Johnny Carson as host of The Tonight Show. Of course, the recent late night shake-up will be the subject of his new book."I'm reaching out to everyone I possibly can to get every side of the story. I don't just pick one and stick with that guy."Carter is still writing but is said to be rushing to get the book on Kindles as soon as possible. I really couldn't care about the book. I'm more excited for the inevitable HBO adaptation that will be aired repeatedly for 15 years. Maybe Jimmy Kimmel could play Leno if Arzt from Lost isn't available to do it again. (Gawker)

The first trailer for Get Him To The Greek just hit the Interwebz, and I'll be damned if Nicholas Stoller hasn't done it again. The director and writer of the highly enjoyable Forgetting Sarah Marshall brings back eccentric, hyper-sexual rocker Aldous Snow for a whimsical romp across the pond from Foggy London Town to sunny Los Angeles. Jonah Hill plays record label intern Aaron Green who gets the assignment from big boss P. Diddy to escort Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to the Greek Theater in L.A. for the first-stop of his comeback tour. Wackiness ensues, with a plethora of sex, drugs, rock & roll, and crusty vomit on The Today Show with Meredith Vieira. Stoller delivered a perfect mix of laughs and heart in Sarah Marshall, and I have no doubt he'll add the same touch to this one. And vomit, of course. Check out the trailer after the jump. Get Him To The Greek blows the roof off theaters June 4, 2010.
Bring on the whores!Universal has hired the screenwriting duo of Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith to write a remake of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The original starred Burt Reynolds and cleavage-afficionado Dolly Parton in the film adapted from Broadway. The update will have musical numbers though it is not known at this time if they will be new, or musty and old like Burt's nutsack.No word yet on casting, but it seems rude to open a whorehouse in Hollywood and not invite Tom Sizemore. (Variety)
Now THAT'S a headline! Armani has just released a commercial of Megan Fox wearing their underwear while standing in one place, kinda attempting to pull off what she thinks people do when they're trying to act sexy. The result is underwhelming. It would have given me more tingles if she'd just remained completely still while the camera sweeped across her naughty bits a few times. Someone close that girl's mouth. She's going to catch flies. Or worse!
The trailer for Killers follows the beats of any other Katherine Heigl movie trailer. We're introduced to her. We learn quickly that she's successful in every aspect of her life except love. Cue the man of her dreams, in this instance, Ashton Kutcher and his abs. Kutcher stalks Heigl around Nice, France while unnecessarily shirtless like NY's Naked Cowboy or He-Man or Los Angeles's David Hasselhoff. The two hook up and it seems like the perfect relationship. Until it turns into Knight & Day or Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It looks like a fun, light film (centered around murder) despite the positioning of the leads on the National Choad Index. I should dislike this but I don't. It must be the presence of Selleck. Damn that mustache. Maybe enjoy the trailer after the jump….
The toys happily welcome Pervert the Octopus to the group. Nothing makes me giddy like a Pixar trailer. Those (evil?) geniuses always knock it out of the park, and Toy Story 3 looks like no exception. All of our favorite toys are back, and they're mixing it up with a new batch of playthings when they're donated to a day care center. You'd think the rest of the movie would follow Woody and Buzz as tiny tots jam them into various orifices, but instead it appears they're loving their new home. In The Closet Ken, voiced by Michael Keaton, convinces himself he has feelings for Barbie inspite of the new cowboy arrival, and Pervert the Octopus offers up massages (with happy endings, no doubt). Everything's right as rain until the toys find out their abandoner, Andy, is looking for them. They decide to break out and go in search for the owner who cast them aside like yesterday's garbage when he decided to go better himself at college. What a selfish prick. You don't deserve these special toys, Andy! They're too good for you! You hear me, Dad?! Oops… That's an issue I need to take elsewhere. Check out the trailer after the jump. Toy Story 3 hits theaters June 18th.
Pack the kids and the dog urine-soaked sandwiches into the family truckster. It looks like New Line and David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) are moving forward with their reboot of National Lampoon's Vacation. However, this time they're wisely dropping the National Lampoon's moniker. The goof-tards who made Van Wilder: Freshman Year spilled bong water on it and now it's ruined.News today is that screenwriting duo Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Sam from Freaks and Geeks) have been hired to write the disastrous family outing. As previously reported, the new film will focus on Rusty Griswold as the hapless dad of his own family. Chevy Chase is expected to tag along as Grandpa Clark. No word yet whether Beverly D'Angelo or Randy Quaid will return or not. Though if Quaid is not welcomed back, Dobkin can expect a threatening, unpunctuated letter from his nutbar wife. (Variety)

IN MIND-BONING 3D!!!!!!!!!Sony seems to be having a good time pushing Marc Webb around as he develops their Spider-Man reboot. Sony Marketing Chairman Jeff Blake announced today that the movie will be forcing its way into theaters on July 3rd, 2012 in sure-to-be-dull-by-then 3D. Great. Now I have to risk pink-eye to see this studio-directed bastardization? From Blake:"Spider-Man is the ultimate summer movie-going experience, and we're thrilled the filmmakers are presenting the next installment in 3D. They resisted at first but we tightened the vice on their testicles and convinced them to see things our way. We find that groin pain can be quite the motivator. Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters in the world, and we know audiences are eager and excited to discover Marc's fantastic vision (stiffles laughter) for Peter Parker and the franchise. Now let's cram this baby full of villians and give Spidey a jive-talking sidekick. Maybe a flying squirrel voiced by Eddie Murphy or something. And tits. I'm told teenage boys like tits."No word yet on the film's title or which little jerk will star as Peter Parker. (Deadline Hollywood)
That's a mighty fine pokin' stick you got yourself there, Mr. Airbender. Oh sorry, it's called M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. My whoopsie on purpose. The trailer for The Happening director's latest film has been released, and damn if it doesn't look like Night is trying to make us forget he directed The Happening. I've never seen the Airbender cartoons on Nickelodeon because I haven't watched Nick since I discovered my penis, but word is they're pretty bad ass. My excitement toward this film has been minimal to nonexistent and the trailer doesn't do much to perk up my nipples — except maybe for the constant chilly drafts of wind in it. This Airbender guy is worse than sitting next to the door in a busy coffee shop! Am I right or am I right or am I right?! The action looks aight, but I'm kind of getting used to seeing Krakens in my trailers, and the absence of one gives me the frownies. Check out the trailer after the jump and let me know your thoughts. Will this movie vanish from theaters like a fart in the wind?
Disney-Pixar are slowly dumping out Toy Story 3's toy chest to reveal 14 new characters from the upcoming sequel. Today we meet Ken. He combines the masculinity of Dirk Benedict with the fashion sense of Jim Jay Bullock. It looks like Barbie's finally found real love after G.I. Joe's crippling PTS drove a wedge down the middle of their happy union. Good for her. I can't see anything wrong here. From Disney-Pixar:Grab your binoculars and join Ken on a safari! A swinging bachelor who's always on the lookout for fun, Ken sports the perfect outfit for his eco-adventure: light blue shorts and a leopard-print shirt with short sleeves sure to keep him cool in the hot sun. And after his exciting expedition, Ken will be ready to hit the dance floor in style. His accessories include matching scarf, sensible loafers and a fashion-forward gold belt. Dozens of additional Ken outfits sold separately.You're gonna have to keep a leash on this one Barbie. One that matches the chaps preferably. (HeyUGuys)
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski is looking to bang out another popular science-fiction film and he's spilled a load of details about how he intends to fill The Black Hole. The film won't be a sequel a la Tron or an exact do-over either. Kosinski is looking to re-imagine the film by keeping the iconic moments that come to mind but also wants to jam this Hole full of hard science. And he promises not to blow it out. Says Kosinski:"I saw The Black Hole as a little kid. What sticks out most is the robot Maximilian. The blades and the vicious killing of Anthony Perkins. That freaked me out and that's definitely going to be an element that will be preserved. From a conceptual point of view, we know so much more about black holes now, the crazy things that go on as you approach them due to the intense gravitational pull and the effects on time and space. All that could provide us with some really cool film if we embrace it in a hard science way."This sounds like one of those pornos that will be informative as well. And I'm ready to learn. **unfastens pants** (MTV)
It was probably close to three in the morning in your living room. You were six sodas and three gorditas deep with the volume turned way down on the set, anxiously awaiting some practical knowledge regarding the mysterious act of sex. From the scenes that put wisdom in your brain and a strain in your shorts, these were the moments that taught you more about getting laid than anything else. Here are some of the lessons you learned.

Sucker Punch's Emily Browning's star is on the rise and it looks like she's not afraid to shed her child star image. She's just signed on for The Perfect Woman Sleeping Beauty, an erotic thriller about "a student who drifts into prostitution and finds her niche as a woman who sleeps, drugged while men do to her what she can't remember the next morning." I don't know about you guys but I'd totally take photos of her where it looks like she's picking her nose. But I'm an animal like that.The film is a 2008 Black Listed script from Australian author Julia Leigh, who will be making her directorial debut with this project. Alice in Wonderland's Mia Wasikowska was originally set to fill the role but opted out in the 11th hour. Keep that in mind if you ever have a chance to date either of these actresses.

The bidding war over the rights to the Terminator franchise is over and the winner is… Pacificor? I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with their films. From Deadline Hollywood: "Sony and Lionsgate dropped out at just under $29.5 million when it became clear that Santa Barbara-based hedge fund Pacificor was willing to pay almost any amount of money for Terminator." Oh. That's why I didn't know them. Pacificor is the debtholder that pushed Halcyon into bankruptcy in the first place. Now they've swooped in and traded that debt for the once lucrative franchise. I think it would be awesome if James Cameron bought them. Not so he could make another Terminator but so he could take a dump on Terminator 3 in front of director Jonathan Mostow's house.No one knows what Pacificor plans to do with the rights but let's hope it's not to steal the technology and build their own army of machines. If robots become self-aware, there's no telling what kind of damage they may cause. (Deadline Hollywood)
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but reality show Oompa Loompa, Snooki has selected a suitor to share her bed. The Jersey Shore Hobbit stepped out recently with Emilio Antonio and he is the juicehead of her dreams. She seems genuinely smitten. Belted in the face by love, if you will."He's actually a body builder and works at the gym," she said. "I am really excited to like show the public who he is."And those hoping that their connection is merely intellectual and therefore vulnerable to temptation, I have worse news."He is freaking banging. We're the sexiest couple I have ever seen in my entire life so I am excited for everybody to see that."There you have it. Theirs is a love that will endure at least until Spring Break. Between this and the passing of Zelda Rubinstein, 2010 is shaping up to be a chaste year for pygmy-chasers. (NY Daily News)
Superman rescues Mini Nolan. It doesn't matter why. Warner Bros. must be supplying Christopher Nolan with an endless supply of whores, drugs, or fish and chips. The director of The Dark Knight and the upcoming WB film Inception has decided to nurture the new Superman movie that's in development and let it suck from the voluptuous teet of his creativity. Nolan is not writing or directing the film, but instead has taken on the role of "godfather," a title I hope appears in the credits. Developing Superman Returns was such a quagmire for WB it's no wonder they're turning to their golden boy for advice, insight, scribbles he wasn't planning on using for future projects. An insider at the studio said, "We know what we don't want to do. But we don't know what we want to do." That sounds like every Friday night conversation I had with my friends in high school. Result: we all decided to stay home, much like the audience will for this film. Shut up, I had friends! Nolan is also actively working on the Batman 3 script with brother Jonathan Nolan and blood brother David Goyer. Nolan came up with a story idea, probably while clipping his nails whilst dropping a deuce, and the team hopes to finish a draft during post-production on Inception. It looks like SJ writer Wookie Johnson has some egg on his face this morning. The proverbial and the scrambled. The former for saying yesterday that Batman 3 scripts rumors were bull hockey, the latter for sticking his face in a plate of scrambled eggs. The man's a barbarian, folks. (Deadline)
Kiefer getting angsty at the Sears Portrait Studio.Today news broke that made the 2003 Me high-five the air and request a "what-what." Keifer Sutherland is closer to bringing his penchant for sh*tty days to the multiplex. Sutherland has reportedly convinced Fox to hire screenwriter Billy Ray (State of Play, Moon, the upcoming Source Code) to adapt 24 for theater audiences.Much like Agent Cody Banks, the Griswolds, and Deuce Bigalow before him, this adventure will take Jack to Europe. That's great news!! If Die Hard and Rocky IV have taught me anything it is that European villians are waayyyy harder to kill, so this could be a fun, over the top movie. Pens in the eye for everyone!!!The show's kinda sucking in the ratings right now and the current season is expected to be the last. So we'll have to wait and see if Jack Bauer has to save the Louvre from being blow'd up. (Variety)
Today we pit our top contenders for the Best Actress Oscar in the metaphorical pudding pool for a bikini-clad, chocolate-treat-slathered Battle Royale from which only one shall emerge the victor. …
Has our insatiable appetite for stereoscopic film imagery driven us past the point of no return? Would Hollywood be brazen enough to dig up the corpse of a classic in order to drop a 3-D deuce in its mouth? I'd like to think there's a certain line that does not get crossed but this item has me worried.A source at Universal has told Cinema Blend that a 3-D remake of Jaws may be in the works. From Cinema Blend:Their claim is that people now expect more, visually, from their movie going experience. So, Hollywood studios are inclined to take some of their tried and true franchise names like Jaws and bring them into the 3D world. The tipster also revealed that at one point Tracy Morgan was being considered for the role of Matt Hooper, originally played by Richard Dreyfuss. Willikers. This is too absurd to be true. It's like a movie poster 30 Rock's Tracy Jordan would hang in his dressing room. I don't know what to fear more with Tracy Morgan in the water, the shark or somebody getting pregnant.Regard this as a rumor for now. Universal will come to their senses. The last thing Jaws needs is a remake, especially one that heads in a comedic direction. That's why we have One Crazy Summer. (Cinema Blend)
Fourfour put together a compilation of all those cheap scares in movies when someone pushes the medicine cabinet mirror closed after grabbing their Xanax/roofies for the evening, and someone/something APPEARS BEHIND THEM IN IT!

Mickey Rourke plays a down on his luck trumpet player in his upcoming film Passion Play. Megan Fox plays a circus freak with wings on her back who helps Rourke's character find redemption. They're definitely an interesting pair to cast against one another and the veteran actor has only high praise for his co-star."I think the pleasant surprise was this girl who's a world-class beauty turned out to be probably the best young actress I've ever worked with. At 23, I couldn't do half of what she's doing."Really, Mickey? You sure you're just not saying that because of her boobs and stuff?? Look, she's a really pretty girl. We get that.

Sensory overload. Not enough blood in my brain as I write this post. Has traveled to my…elsewhere. In a recent interview with MTV, Jessica Alba revealed she'll be playing identical twins in Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse spinoff, Machete. One of them will be bad, one of them will good, and both of them will look like Jessica Alba. I'd suggest that the two Albas kiss in the film but I'm fairly certain such an event would signal the apocalypse. In all honesty, what more would we have to live for? Check out Alba's interview below. Movie Trailers – Movies Blog
Here we are again with a day full of speculation and little actual movie news. The headlines today are all about the Superbowl's crappy array of commercials, Drew Bree's kid's sweet headphones, and flimsy movie rumors. Luckily, Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey is here to round up those rumors like a stack of basket cats.Bill Murray is a ghost – We've heard this rumor before but now Bill Murray confirmed that the only way he'll return for Ghostbusters 3 is in ghost form. Though the interview is suspected to have taken place in October and we haven't heard anything official about this movie since that time. Rule of thumb around here is to regard all Ghostbusters 3 news as rumors and lies. (Daily Mail)Meryl Streep will fold Russell Brand's underwear – Russell Brand is eager to remake Arthur and a British tabloid has reported that Meryl Streep is considering signing on to play his butler. Bear in mind this came from a British tabloid so it's all lies. The British excel at sneakiness. Case in point, James Bond. (Daily Star)A Brangelina-free Mr. & Mrs. Smith is on the way – This one isn't as much a rumor as it is just stupid. Regency Enterprises is moving forward with a reboot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. A reboot means cheaper talent, which means more money for the studio. Honestly, I can't tell Angelina Jolie movies apart from one another anymore. But rebooting a film that's relatively recent seems dangerous to me. Dangerous because it could lead to a Saw reboot. (NY Mag)
Oh, hey. Here's some news that's probably nothing. David Goyer has stepped down as FlashForward showrunner to focus on his career in features. This news has sprouted a multitude of nerd boners due to the speculation that he is writing a third Batman film with Jonathan Nolan. But all those plump dork stiffies may be engorged for naught as there has been no official word that Goyer is involved in the project. Nor is there any confirmation that it is even in the scripting phase. Right now it's all speculation stemming from this quote from Deadline Hollywood:"Of course, Goyer's feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan's brother Jonah." Fact of the matter is that, as of right now, Christopher Nolan is busy with Inception and Goyer has a lot of feature projects in development, including Super Max, Ghost Rider 2, Magneto, Y: The Last Man, Scanners, The Invisible Man, The Unforgettable, and Here, There Be Dragons. So nerds, please resheath your geek-woodies until we have something more substantial to fluff to. Unless, of course, you're turned on by stories where there be dragons. Pervert. (Deadline Hollywood)
Everyone always talks about date movies, but what about the dates in movies? Sure, you can pick Hollywood's latest (laaaaame) offerings of Dear John or Valentine's Day and hope to impress the girl you tricked into going out with you.

CW Managers Come of Age
Contingent workforce management has grown up. I saw seasoned professionals striding confidently exchanging ideas and chatting about trends at our 7th annual Contingent Workforce Management Summit held in Las Vegas earlier this month. They are the new mavens. We have come a long way from the days when CWM was an emerging field. The pioneers of yesteryears are today's managers on the cutting edge of the workforce of the future, as Robert Reich pointed out in his keynote address.
There was a different attitude in the air this year. Many of these professionals were carrying business cards with "CW" in their titles. And it's irrelevant that you may have to explain what CW is to some people. What is relevant is those who matter get it, said many conference participants. The recession has taught corporate America the value of a temporary workforce. Savings coupled with the flexibility that these workers bring is unparalleled. Organizations are using temps in different ways and seeing the benefits. "We have gone through the rigors. Now we are looking at how we can help ourselves and legitimize what we are doing," said a CW manager at a large Fortune 500 corporation.
Her sentiment was echoed by many of the Summit's 700 participants — Staffing Industry Analysts' biggest conference yet. The talk was around mature programs involving more than a billion dollars in spend, SOWs, metrics, RPO, MSPs, VMS. And yes, some of it may have been gobbledygook to the newbies who came, but there were enough seasoned veterans to show the way or direct them to others who could help.
A few years ago, SIA President Barry Asinwrote about one of our early Summits, describing it as life among the pioneers. That was then. This year's event was colonized by civilized folks from procurement and HR with a few other disciplines thrown in. Welcome to CW generation 3.0. They rely on stylish, sophisticated tools to map talent acquisition strategically for their organizations saving more than a few bucks in the process. And to help these folks and others entering the discipline, we are developing a training certification program for CW managers. After all, even grown-ups could use a little bit of help.

|Watauga approves "Tot Lot"
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 09 May 2007 02:47
After a lengthy debate, Watauga County Commissioners approved the purchase of playground equipment for the "Tot Lot,"scheduled to open July 1st. Controversy arose when deciding between equipment the kids preferred and equipment staff thought would involve less maintenance. Just when it looked like the board was going to table the discussion for the next meeting, delaying the playground's opening once more, Commissioner Mary Moretz made a motion to purchase kid-approved equipment recommended by the parent advocates. The park will also be handicapped-accessible. Plans for a playground at Cove Creek were delayed, but the "Tot Lot" in Boone should go forth as scheduled.

With natural mineral makeup it is easy to create a beautiful summer look. Mineral makeup is light-weight, absorbs oil, reflects light, and provides natural sun protection. It also contains anti-inflammatory and sun protection properties, so is a good choice for those with sensitive, allergic or acne prone skin.
The most common minerals used to make natural mineral makeup are mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and talc. Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide are both effective sun blocks, protecting against UVA and UVB rays. But Titanium dioxide works double-duty, providing anti-inflammatory benefits, as well. This calming effect makes mineral makeup suitable for those with sensitive skin, and even helps with issues like rosacea and eczema. Because it is non-comedogenic, pores will not become clogged, resulting in fewer breakouts. And the oil-absorbing properties of mineral makeup also help to reduce breakouts.
Now for the big question…Are all mineral makeups safe?
Unfortunately, no. Some mineral makeups include harsh chemical ingredients (like chemical colorants or preservatives) and use less than 1% minerals in their formula. These not-so-natural mineral makeups may still use the terms "natural" or "all natural" on their labels. Because the term "natural" is not regulated by the FDA, it is a good idea to check a mineral makeup product's label prior to purchase. The term "organic" does not apply to minerals, as they are mined from the earth, but minerals may be combined with other organic ingredients.
There has been some concern with talc as an ingredient. This is mostly due to the asbestos contamination that is common with cosmetic grade talc. Lavera uses only pharmaceutical grade talc in its products that is free from asbestos.
Mineral makeup evens skin tone and diminishes the appearance of imperfections, while imparting a radiant glow to skin. And it comes in an array of gorgeous, natural color. From pure blues to warm browns, it is easy to find the perfect hues to suit your skin tone.
Lavera Eye Shadow, Powder Blush and Compact Powder combine safe, natural minerals (never any synthetic ingredients) with Organic Jojoba oil and Calendula extract to nourish and soften the skin. All three are certified Vegan.
In the hot and humid season of summer, powder cosmetics work well in reducing shine and absorbing excess oil. If you still tend toward the dry side, try applying a bit of moisturizer or skin balm to cheeks just before applying powder and blush. This will keep skin hydrated, yet still give a refined finish.

Here's to your luminous, natural summer look!

Utah residents interested in the management and conservation of public lands have an opportunity to become directly involved through participation on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Resource Advisory Council RAC).
Council members provide advice and recommendations to the BLM concerning the use and management of 22 million acres of public land in Utah.
"I value the advice given to the BLM by these citizen-based ResourceAdvisory Committees, and I know that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar shares my view of their importance," said BLM Director Bob Abbey. "The people who live, work, and recreate near or on BLM-managed lands deserve a formal voice on public land issues, and their input will enhance our agency's ability to manage the public lands for multiple uses while conserving resources for future generations."
"The RAC has been an excellent way to keep citizens engaged in the resource issues facing the public lands in Utah," said BLM Utah state director Selma Sierra. "BLM managers look forward to having more Utahans become involved in this collaborative process, bringing fresh ideas to the table."
Nominations are being accepted for six positions on the Utah RAC. One of the six is for the vacant position of State Agency Representative. This nominee will complete the term, ending September 2011, of a previous RAC member. The remaining five vacancies on this citizen-based council are for complete three-year terms. BLM consults with Utah Governor Herbert before forwarding its recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior for final decision.
The Utah RAC consists of 15 members. The RAC charter provides for members to serve 3-year terms, on a staggered basis, with one-third of the council subject to appointment or reappointment each year. The following positions are open on the RAC this year:
* Two positions in Category One (commodity), which includes holders of federal grazing permits, energy and mineral development, timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way, off-highway vehicle use and commercial recreation interests.
* One position in Category Two (non-commodity), which includes nationally or regionally recognized environmental organizations, archaeological and historic interests, dispersed recreation and wild horse and burro groups.
* Three positions in Category Three (local area interest) which includes holders of State, county or local elected office, Native American Tribes, employees of a State agency responsible for management of natural resources, academicians involved in natural sciences and the public-at-large.
Nominees will be evaluated on their education, training, and experience with issues involving public lands in Utah. They should have demonstrated a commitment to collaborative resource decision-making. RAC members serve without monetary compensation, but are reimbursed for travel and meal expenses.
All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference (a minimum of two) from the interests or organizations to be represented, a completed nomination form, as well as, any other information that speaks to the nominee's qualifications. Nomination forms are available from BLM offices and from BLM's Web site at http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/res/resource_advisory.html. The deadline for sending nominations and letters of support to the BLM is Monday, May 10, 2010.
All nominations and letters of reference should be sent to: Bureau of Land Management, Utah State Office, 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84101, Attn: Sherry Foot. For additional information, contact Special Programs Coordinator, Sherry Foot at (801) 539-4195.

Zefal Profil Mini Trackpump RG01 £29.99
Frame-mountable pump that's capable of getting full pressure into your tyres out on the road
Weight 215g Contact www.zyro.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
The Profil Mini Trackpump RG01 is small enough to carry on your bike and has enough punch to get your tyres back up to full pressure – rather than 'get me home' pressure – if you have to fix a flat.
I must say, though, that I think calling this a trackpump is pushing it. It's more of a frame-mounted pump with a stabilising foot.
It's 34.5cm long with an aluminium barrel and piston. The lengthy (60cm) hose features a gauge to show how much pressure you have in your inner tube while the lockable aluminium head is suitable for both presta and schrader valves. It's not a smart head – you have to unscrew the end and reverse the rubber seal to swap between the two different types.
Fold out both the foot and the piston's dual-compound T-handle and you can use this like a trackpump... kind of. That foot doesn't lock into place so the RG01 isn't nearly as steady as a dedicated trackpump, and the handle is big enough for only one hand – although I found that gripping one hand with the other was the best technique. That said, as long as you're relatively careful to avoid losing stability, you can get a lot of power behind the piston – certainly a lot more than with most minipumps.
We managed to get 120psi into a 700x23c tyre in 180 strokes, and 100psi into a 35mm tyre in 225 strokes. Zefal reckon you can get up to 160psi with this pump. The highest we achieved was 140psi. That was relatively easy until the last few strokes. The gauge is pretty accurate too – within 4psi of the figures we got with a standalone digital gauge.
The hose hooks around the handle and the head clips back onto the foot to hold everything together, and the whole thing fits to a nylon bracket mounted to your bottle cage bosses. A rubber strap holds it securely in place and it hasn't slid down to batter the paintwork over rough roads.
Big Shaun Audane bent the piston of the first one of these pumps that we got in so we sent it back. We'd expect any similar failure to be replaced under warranty too. We put it down to bad luck because we've had no issues at all with the replacement.

Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Zefal say, "High pressure pump with inline gauge ideal for road bikes.

- Extra long hose 600mm
- Ergonomic dual compound handle
- Lockable T-handle

It's not especially small or lightweight but it works well to get your tyres up to full pressure.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
The inline pressure gauge is pretty accurate according to our measurements.
It's not especially small or light compared to a minipump.
The handle is pretty small but it's certainly useable even by those with large hands.

It achieved realistic road tyre pressures in respectable times without requiring superhuman efforts.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
It's a neat design that mounts to your bike without too much trouble.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
I wish the handle was a bit bigger. Plus, it would be good if the foot would lock into place for extra stability.

Would you consider buying the product? Possibly.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.

I've been riding for: Over 20 years I ride: Most days I would class myself as: Expert
I regularly do the following types of riding: time trialling, commuting, club rides, sportives, general fitness riding,
"180 strokes" ? My God - who has the energy or time for that?
Zefal already make the excellent HPX pump. A frame fitting full length pump with a narrow barrel that means you can easily and quickly get to very high pressures, and an easy to use quick release clamp to get a good seal on the valve. It's also cheaper than this complicated piece of kit.
I lost my last one and immediately bought another.

That's nothing. My Airbone (99mm long and fits in my saddlepack) has been known to take well over 300 'reps' to get up to even 100psi.

Despite December's layoff of UtahAmerican Energy coal miners, Carbon County continued to experience employment growth.
According to the latest data compiled by the Utah Department of Workforce Services, Carbon County's economy created more than 500 jobs during the last year for a 6.3 percent expansion rate.
In December 2006, local employment opportunities registered at 9,827 compared to the 9,249 jobs reported by the county in December 2005.
At the state level, Utah's number of non-farm wage and salaried jobs remains strong during the last year with an increase of 4.7 percent reported in December 2006.
Approximately 55,700 employment opportunities were created in the Utah economy in the last 12 months, raising total wage and salary employment to 1,241,000 statewide.
Utah's second primary indicator of labor market conditions, the unemployment rate, registered 2.6 percent in last month, down from the 4 percent statewide jobless figure reported in December 2005.
Approximately 34,400 Utahns were unemployed in December 2006 compared to 51,000 in December 2005.
"We're starting to see the slowing in the Utah economy that we anticipated due to the extremely low unemployment rate," commented Mark Knold, department of workforce services economist. "The economy can only grow as rapidly as the supply of available labor will allow. With Utah's unemployment rate this low, the labor supply is extremely restricted and is acting as a dampening factor upon economic growth instead of an enhancer."
"The bottom line is that growth will slow, but it will still be solid job growth. To the consumer and business on the street, street, it will feel like no change at all. Jobs will be available, wage growth will continue and labor will remain tight," explained Knold.
At the national level, the United States' unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.5 percent in December 2006.
Since December 2005, the U.S. economy added 1.9 million jobs nationwide for a growth rate of 1.4 percent.
The approximately 55,700 additional employment opportunities created in Utah represent about 2.9 percent of all the jobs added at locations across the U.S. in the last year. Utah comprises less than 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce, noted the DWS economist.
As has been the case for the prior two years, all employment sectors in Utah continued to expand last month.
The growth ranged from 13,400 jobs in construction to 1,100 positions in the small other services sector.
"One thing to note is that the rate of growth is starting to recede," pointed out the department of workforce services economist. "Prior to this point, the rate had been increasing for the past 41 months. This signals that, in terms of the rate of employment growth, we have reached and surpassed the top of the business cycle. Growth from here forward will occur at a diminishing pace"
According to Knold, the slowing of the state's economy has already started to happen. And the slowdown centers around two industries - construction and professional-business services.
"Ironically, these are the two industry leaders in the current expansion and remain the two sectors that have added the most new jobs over the past year," noted the department of workforce services economist. "But the rate of their employment growth has peaked and is moderating."
For example, Knold explained that the construction industry started adding jobs at locations across Utah in December 2003.
The rate at which construction employment has expanded has increased steadily, with the industry creating 5,000 jobs in 2004 and accounting for 9,000 employment opportunities statewide in 2005.
The peak in the construction sector's employment expansion was reached last June with the addition of 15,000 jobs during the 12-month period between 2006 and June 2005.
Since then, the year-over growth posted in the construction industry has begun to recede.
Construction jobs created since December 2005 registered at 13,400, a movement away from the June 2006 peak of 15,000.
Even with the slowing, construction remains the leading growth industry in Utah, said the department of workforce services economist.
The 13,400 jobs added in the past year represents a growth rate of 15.5 in the Utah construction industry.
Professional and business services is the other industry that is pulling back in employment growth, continued Knold.
Expanding by 9,800 jobs in the past year, the professional and business services sector remains Utah's second-best growth industry.
The state's professional and business services sector's current growth rate stands at 6.4 percent.
The state's business and professional services industry peaked in late 2005 with the addition of 11,000 employment opportunities during a one-year period.
The sector is made up of two major components - high paying professional and technical positions along with lower-paying temporary help, placement agency and telemarketing jobs, indicated the department of workforce services economist.
The second component of the sector is seeing the employment slowdown, not the first.
"In fact, the hiring into professional and technical jobs may not have peaked yet," commented Knold. "It is holding at around its peak of 6,000 jobs over the past year."
"But the worker placement and telemarketing areas have become vulnerable to reduced worker flows because of the tight labor market and that clearly is starting to have an impact. Worker flows into those areas are being reduced as more lucrative opportunities elsewhere have created a tight labor market for these industries," concluded the department or workforce services economist.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," one of the best in the long-running series of "Peanuts" specials, returns to TV this week to remind us why these animated shows have been a part of American culture for the last 47 years.
While overshadowed by the two most popular and critically acclaimed "Peanuts" specials — "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" — the Thanksgiving special is also fondly remembered, with good reason.
The show will air Wednesday night at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC DIS, +0.23% , and will be repeated on Thanksgiving night at the same time. On both nights, it will be paired with "This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers," the premiere episode of a 1988-89 "Peanuts" miniseries.
ABC began airing the specials in 2001, after they had been seen on CBS from 1965 until 2000.
On Nov. 20, 1973, CBS CBS, -0.66% slotted "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," — sponsored by Interstate Brands, the parent of Dolly Madison cakes and pies — at 8 p.m. Eastern to kick off its Tuesday night lineup. The Peanuts cartoons had become such ratings blockbusters by this time that the network had no problem preempting "Maude," the "All In The Family" spinoff that would finish as the sixth most-watched show of the 1973-74 season.
Against the short-lived NBC crime drama "Chase" and the medical sitcom "The New Temperatures Rising Show," ABC's second attempt to find a starring vehicle for comedian Paul Lynde, "Thanksgiving" easily won the time period, averaging a 27.8 rating and 43 share of the television audience. (One ratings point was equal to 1% of the 65.6 million U.S. television households in existence at the time. Share is the percentage of sets in use tuned to a specific program.)
"Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz uses Peppermint Patty as the catalyst in "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." She invites herself, Marcie and Franklin to Charlie Brown's house for dinner, ignoring his attempts to explain that he and his family have to be at his grandmother's house by 4:30. Linus asks the most obvious question.
"Why don't you just call Peppermint Patty back, and explain your dilemma?"
"Because," replied Charlie Brown, "you can't tell Peppermint Patty anything, because you never get to say anything. I'm doomed."
Linus agrees to help Charlie Brown cook a special dinner for the gang — with the aid of Snoopy and Woodstock. When they come up with a meal of pretzel sticks, toast, popcorn, jelly beans and gelatin sundaes, Patty blows her stack.
The appeal of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" lies in Patty's brashness; her awkward crush on Charlie Brown, which seems to have started the whole thing; Snoopy's flights of fancy; and jazz composer Vince Guaraldi's music.
The musical backdrop
Guaraldi composed music for the first 16 "Peanuts" specials, before his death from a heart attack in 1976. While "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is usually cited as his masterwork, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" is every bit its equal.
The stately, uptempo main theme evokes the dignity of the holiday. It's heard most effectively in the final scene with Snoopy and Woodstock, when trumpet soloist Tom Harrell explores the tune's playful bridge.

Rating based on price. I must mention the neck is very nice for this price, finish is very plesent to look at, knobs are plastic and fall off, (that is fixable) The overall workmanship is what one would expect for a bass in this price range. What makes the bass unusable for live preformance is the pickups and electronics. This bass sounds terrible, I played it thru 3 different amps and it sounds bad in all of them. Muddy lows, highs are not up to par and midrange is thin. I may change pups to see if there is any improvement. However, since it is not my only bass, I may just leave it alone and use if for practice and rehearsal to save wear and tear on my "good" basses.
Having said all that, it is a good beginners bass because it plays very nice, is not complicated, and is light in weight. I would only recommend this bass for that purpose. As a former teacher, I know some parents can't afford a more expensive bass for a beginner, so get this and ya got a nice bass that won't discourage a student right off the bat. ( I have seen this so many times, get a low priced bass with the strings 2" off the fretboard and wonder why Johny gets discouraged and doesn't want to practice)
2 pups, P/J config. volume knobs for both pups, a treble knob and a bass boost knob. Neither the treble knob nor the bass boost knob do a whole lot. The bass boost just seems to make the sound muddier and a bit louder, the trebble never gets to the real bite you need for slap. Both pups sound almost the same. The J/pup has a little less lows, but still has no punch nor does the P/pup, no guts...
Not bad workmanship for the price. However, the body developed a crack right at the neck. Don't know how this happened, I never dropped it or used it for self defense, but there it is. Nice finish, nice neck.
A good value. But I have seen better. SX for instance..

I got this guitar less than a week ago and had a professional tuning my bass when the tuner broke. The wood was fine all he did was tune the g string from an f to a g when the tuner snapped in half. it seemed to be made of plastic. Tuners very cheap if you decide to get this bass I strongly recommend replacing all of the tuners immediatly.

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
Bought this bass and it felt "OK" at first. Took it down to my local pro and had frets worked and flat wounds put on. Plays like butter. Very light weight, no more tired shoulders after 4 hours like with the P Bass ( although still love that axe as well)
Added some copper shielding to the back panel because of 60 cycle hum being picked up by the active electronics. Not real thrilled with the active, I must admit.
For the money, Nice Bass.

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
The Ibanez GSR200 is a great bass for the buck. It may not have the bells and whistles of higher end basses but it definatly holds it's own, especially considering the price. The finish is better looking than the pic here too (I got Transparent Red).
The strings are definatly lackluster. You'll wanna replace them as soon as you can (putting RotoSounds on mine). You may also want to adjust the pickups and bridge.
If you're buying a bass on a budget and prefer a thinner neck this is it.

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
Back in 2000 I picked up an "Ibanez bass starter kit", which included a GSR 200. AWESOME DEAL, 14 years later I still have it and use it for practicing. (Apparently the electronics on the GSR 200 have changed since then - mine has 3 knobs, similar to the GSRM 20.)
Rating 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. Excellent build quality and the setup was spot on.
The first thing I noticed about this bass was the neck, it feels really good in your hand. The finish has not changed with age and usage. I own several basses and guitars, the neck on this one is my favorite at any price.
The strings it came with were a little chintzy. The first time I changed strings, I put on Rotosounds and I was blown away by the improvement.
The electronics are a little noisy (60 Hz hum, and sometimes crackling when you turn the pots). I didn't notice this for a long time, some of it may be from wear and corrosion.
It's tempting to say that "this should be everyone's first bass", except the Squire and Epiphone also make excellent starter basses.

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
I have had this bass since 2008. never had a problem with it. Rceently I played a show using this bass, we headlined. Now i read a lot of people saying it has a muddy sound to it. Well for me, I play in a grunge metal band and that's the sound we have. I am also a pick player for this project too, so the sound has been right up my alley.
Another issue people have posted about are strings, well, I always change the strings on any new guitar or bass I get immediately. I run Rotosounds and suggest them to everyone as i have (*knock on wood) never broke one yet. The price for this bass, if yo live on a serious budget like I do and want good quality, this is what you shouldget.
I play this bass 4-5 times a week so this bass takes a beating and having it since 2008 and it is still in great shape says a lot about the product.
A little treat to myself for this bass lasting so long, i am soon going to upgrade the pickups, but thats not because the current ones are malfunctioning, i just feel like treating myself :)

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
These Ibanez entry level basses are well built and have a great sound, for the price. I have one in my studio that is used for jams as well as regular sessions. I've played mine in live performances on big and small stages, and never had a problem. The pots are always clean, no buzz from outside electronics or lighting, the neck and frets are true. Sure, there are a lot of far better instruments available, but not at this price. Great value!

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
I did extensive research before choosing my first bass. The GSR-200 was on a lot of people's lists as a top pick for a beginner/budget bass, and now I know why. This bass is very easy to play, has a beautiful finish (I got transparent red), and most importantly sounds pretty darn good.
Knowing very little about bass guitars I took mine to an experienced bass player to get his opinion on the setup and feel, and after playing it a bit he said "You're good to go."
I recently played my GSR-200 with the praise team band at my church and it sounded great through the church's sound system.
The only negative that stands out for me is the quality -- or lack thereof -- of the pots. All the pots have a lot of noise in them, and my bridge pot doesn't really adjust output volume incrementally -- it's practically on or off.
Also, make sure you budget for a new set of strings when you buy this bass. Most people advise that anyway, I've learned, especially with budget guitars, but my bass arrived with a bad A string that rattled like crazy. I put a set of Rotosounds on it and it took care of that.
Overall I can't recommend it enough as a first bass.

Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
I used this bass as a fill in for a bass player on a worship team in Toms River. Primarily I am a guitarist. This neck was and is still such an easy transition from guitar (Strats) that I bought another here in Florida because of the sound, product price and quality of the instrument.
The boost on the active EQ is great, the percussiveness with a blend of the 2 pickup configurations is superior- it gave me anything I could look for. It is a great bass, not just a begginer's axe. Bravo, banez, keep it coming. Very affordable craftsmanship.
Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
Freet bars stick beyond the edge of neck on both sides and to use this instrument correctly or to make it really useable the frets bars need to be filed down on bothe sides, either you can do it or return it like I did since it was new.
Needs new set of strings ASAP if you are going to keep it as the ones on it are horrible.
Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
soso buzzes really bad everywhere. ok for a kid beginner that doesnt mind it buzzing like crazy
Cheaply made and buzzes really bad would spend a little bit more money and get something a little better. would not recommend unless for beginnner maybe if you like a bass that buzzes everywhere on the fretboard
Comments about Ibanez GSR200 4-String Bass:
A great bass for the price. I love the color choices as well.
This is my second electric bass. My first one I owned was a Washburn. I had trouble with the Washburn buzzing and had to constantly adjust the neck. This plays like a dream and holds in tune really well. I love the bass booster knob and have to replace the 9v battery for it about once every 6 months. I play it regularly and nothing has ever broken for me. The finish is beautiful and the sound is amazing. This is definitely a great bass for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone who's either starting out or has been playing for a few years. This is a great instrument.
The pick ups work great, i've never had any trouble with them. The upper nut is balanced out perfectly so I don't have to adjust it to eliminate buzzing. The neck is really super solid and high quality. I've played mine for 4 years now and the finish still looks amazing. It is lightweight as well which is great for me since i'm a woman. : )
You can't buy a better bass for this price.

The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is the largest national park in central Europe. One third of Schleswig Holsteins belongs to the largest continuous mudflats landscape of the earth, which stretches from the North Sea coast of the Netherlands all the way to Denmark.
Located in Schleswig-Holstein, in the far north of Germany, the coastal mudflats are one of the most fascinating natural habitats in the world. These wetlands consist of a strip of land between the high and low water marks that is covered at high tide and accessible when the tide recedes, creating a pristine coastal landscape of dunes, beaches and salt marshes. Of special interest are the 'Halligen', small islands unprotected by dykes that disappear beneath the waves during storms and spring tides.
The mudflats provide a habitat for around 3200 animal species. Starfish, crabs, snails, mussels and mudflat worms can be found along the water's edge. The national park provides nesting grounds and resting areas for a large number of migratory birds, making it a popular attraction with visitors. In the spring and autumn, they can watch the massed arrival of many different bird species – an unforgettable natural spectacle. The salt marshes are home to diverse flora, which include sea lavender, red fescue and sea plantain.
Experienced mudflat guides are on hand to explain the ebb and flow of the tides, as the sea returns after six hours and the tideways – deep channels in the mudflats – begin to fill up with water. With everything from walks on the beach, swimming in the sea, mudflat tours and boat cruises to bird watching in the salt marshes, a holiday in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is sure to offer rest and relaxation for body and soul.
There are many other attractions waiting to be discovered in the national park and the region as a whole, including the National Park Centre Multimar Wattforum in Tönning (with Whale House) and the beautiful town of Husum with its old inland harbour and museums. A horse-drawn carriage ride to the Hallig island of Südfall or a visit to the Friedrichskoog seal centre with a boat trip to the seal banks are highly recommended, as are excursions to the small fishing villages within the national park.

Tampa, Florida - Seedy, sleazy, seductive... They're words some might use to describe Tampa strip clubs.
While the girls up on stage leave little to the imagination, we wondered what was going on behind closed doors, in the kitchens of Bay area adult establishments.
"There's always the old jokes, 'I would never eat anything from the buffet at the gentleman's club.' Well we are not your father's gentleman's club anymore," said Scott Megna, Corporate Chef at Tampa's Gold Club on Adamo Drive.
His kitchen is one of nearly a half dozen adult establishments across Tampa Bay offering up not just lovely ladies, but full menus of food as well.
"When they sit in our dining room they forget where they're at and they think they're at a Ruth's Chris, or a Bern's," says Megna. "Then they get their food and some people tell me this is better than what I get at Bern's!"
PHOTO GALLERY:View pictures of the clubs, and their kitchens
We pulled inspection reports for six Bay area gentleman's clubs offering full dinner menus. The results were surprisingly revealing.
Across the board, we were shocked to see how well each restaurant preformed, Tampa Gold Club for example scored a near perfect inspection in July with only a single violation for "encrusted material on a can opener."
"As far as the cleanliness, you're not going to get a cleaner kitchen or safer kitchen," said Megna.
Across town, Scores Gentleman's Club and Steak House on Dale Mabry Highway serves up some of the finest grade filet in town.
They too did exceptionally well, with only three violations on their July inspection. Things like no paper towels at a hand sink and food splattered on the inside of the microwave. On our tour of the kitchen everything appeared squeaky clean.
In fact, nearly every establishment we looked at including Tampa's Penthouse Club on Westshore Boulevard passed their latest inspection with no more than five violations, on par with some of the finest steak houses in town.
"Because of the stigma that used to be there, not only do we have to let people know that we make food, but we got to let them know that it's good and we have to let them know that it's clean," said Megna.
10 News did find problems within one Bay area strip club. State records show Vegas Show Girls has been operating without a food service license, meaning they have not been receiving regular inspections.
The issue was discovered within the last month when a state inspector first visited the establishment in July. Along with not having a current license to serve food, the inspector found several additional problems including temperature violations on the Alfredo sauce and cooked chicken.

Modern technology and convenience need not be sacrificed with the Audi A4, which came with Bluetooth and voice-activated navigation controls way back in the digital Dark Ages of 2007, when Audi's MultiMedia Interface (MMI) was a relatively new technology. The turbocharged 2-liter engine is good for 200 hp, and all-weather traction is built in to the Quattro all-wheel-drive version of Audi's A4, so even if you do happen to take a wrong turn on the old navigation system, you'll likely stay on the road.

The STS-V was Cadillac's—and America's—answer to Germany's BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG performance sedans. Even before the STS-V had a chance to warm up, car magazines were turning 0-to-60 mph times in the low 5-second range, and running the quarter-mile in less than 14 seconds. Although there is no doubting the supercharged Northstar V8 engine's prodigious power output (469 hp and 439 lb-ft of torque), this Cadillac's resale value has not come close to keeping pace with its German rivals. Which makes it a steal.
