Reggie Jackson just keeps on getting better.
But for all of his improvements, the second year point guard's ability to make an impact in crunch time is what really piques your interest about his potential.
Reggie Jackson just keeps on getting better.
But for all of his improvements, the second year point guard's ability to make an impact in crunch time is what really piques your interest about his potential.
Jackson scored eight of his 13 points off the bench in the fourth quarter Sunday against New York, playing all 12 minutes of the period and proving once again that he's virtually impossible to keep out of the paint. On multiple occasions, Jackson would use ball screens to jet by Knicks guard Raymond Felton before beating reigning Defensive Player of the Year and towering center Tyson Chandler with crafty layups.
Let's just say it had the look and feel of something — someone — Oklahoma City used to know.
Now, with the playoffs less than two weeks away, it's come time to ask the question of whether Jackson is ready to carry over his effectiveness into the postseason? It seems every year there is an unheralded player that emerges in the playoffs. And after sitting on the sidelines in a bow tie throughout last year's run to the NBA Finals, only time will tell whether Jackson can become the league's next breakout performer.
"If that's what it comes to," Jackson said. "I just try to be a playmaker, defensively, offensively and just get the right shots. If that's what happens this year then I'll be grateful. But I'm just trying to help this team win and reach our ultimate goal."
The Thunder is 22-9 when Jackson plays at least 15 minutes, and, by and large, he's excelled in those opportunities. In those 31 games, Jackson has averaged 7.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 48.9 percent shooting. It's all-around production that has earned Jackson a few additional stints but left many wondering what he could do with even more.
"Being a point guard is not just taking it to the basket and scoring around the basket," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "You got to know who's hot and who's not hot, what the coach wants, the time, the score and he's done a good job of getting better at those areas. But it takes time."

By now, you probably know that David Letterman was the victim of a blackmail scheme, in which a former employee threatened to release a screenplay that would reveal Dave had had sexual relations with women who were in his "Late Show" employ. And you may also be aware that Dave admitted to doing dirty deeds on his program. So what would happen if former President Bill Clinton came back to guest on Dave's show, after all the years of enduring the CBS funnyman's arsenal of Lewinski jokes?

Attacked By Crazies – Watch more Movie TrailersBreck Eisner's directorial track record is a little suspect. His 2005 feature debut, Sahara, made us McConaug-hate. And 'round these parts, we're not prone to negativity about Mr. J.K. Livin'. Needless to say, we were a little circumspect about this new project, The Crazies, a remake of George Romero's 1973 flick of the same name. But color us impressed by what we've seen so far. And it looks like Eisner is attached to helm both Creature from the Black Lagoon and Flash Gordon remakes in the next few years. So he must be doing something right.

A young woman strikes gold in the Hollywood Hills.
Back in high school, Lauren Conrad was featured on the MTV reality show Laguna Beach, a docudrama that followed the lives of Southern California teens. After graduation, she moved to Los Angeles and starred in the reality spin-off The Hills. She's since left the show but along the way a ghost-writer tapped Conrad to create a fictionalized biography about her televised life. That book, the New York Times bestseller LA Candy, joins the esteemed ranks of Viewfinder, Asteroids, and Battleship in getting it's own movie adaptation. That's correct. A movie based on a book based on a television show based on another television show based on nothing. Hollywood, please be careful when sucking your own d*ck. You could break your neck.

This morning, three new user-generated videos from the set of Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan's new movie, Inception, popped up online and we have them for you. They're all from the film's downtown Los Angeles shoot. It's hard to figure out exactly what's going on. The first clip is definitely the most interesting. Not since Amtrak sponsored Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade have I seen a train running along asphalt-paved city streets. But that was a long time ago… Guess this little transportation anomaly is all part of Inception's hook that it takes place "in the architecture of the mind." I wonder who the best coffee in this guy's head…

I could have chosen a sexier picture of Jillian Michaels, the host of NBC's The Biggest Loser, but I went with a humorous selection instead. The image above exemplifies how much of a bad ass Jillian is. If you don't lose weight, she'll literally climb on you and push you down into the ground until you reach the seventh circle of hell. It's a painful process, but nothing good comes easy. How else are you supposed to develop abnormal stomach muscles without the threat of damnation?A word from Jillian: "When I want to workout but am in that lazy mood, I just have sex."Insert slack-jawed picture of me here. Jillian is one of those women that you'd like to bang because there's a good chance she'd kill you in the process. It's the fear that's exciting. Make sure to have a contractor lined up though because you're definitely going to knock some holes in the walls.Stare slack-jawed at more pics of Jillian after the jump!

In May of 2009 Screen Junkies received an unsolicited review of Hannah Montana: The Movie from famed director and noted statutory rapist Roman Polanski. Due to current events we have decided to run the review in its entirety. Hannah Montana: The Movie is like an erotic daydream dealing with lust, taboo, and human nature. On the surface the film is a simple morality tale, but its depths surpass understanding. Over the past month I have watched the film more than 30 times, and I have analyzed it shot by shot. But the more clearly I see its physical manifestation, the more I am stirred by its erotic mystery. The film opens with our middle-aged hero, Robby Ray Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus), sitting in a changing room, staring longingly at a blonde female wig. Like Citizen Kane's "Rosebud," or the green light at the end of Gatsby's pier, the object represents the protagonist's deepest wants and desires. But what exactly is it that our hero desires?

The latest image from Sylvester Stallone's sausage party, The Expendables, shows that even at the age of 63, the Hollywood legend can still kill a militia without breaking a sweat below his nipples. Impressive. In an article over at Empire, Stallone talks a bit about the over-the-top actioner. "It's also a story that isn't super-gigantic; it's almost a believable story." It's almost believable. Which is to say, it is believable up to the point where we see a man of retirement age clinging to the side of an aircraft. Wait. What if The Expendables is actually a live-action version of Up?

That day is finally here. Below, check out the trailer for Samuel Bayer's remake of Wes Craven's classic. It looks like a solid update and based upon descriptions from a friend closer to the production, we're all in for a treat. The only way this could be improved is with a Chris Hansen cameo.

Only Dinosaurs Don't Use Temps
Does your company use contingents? Can it staff a project within 48 hours? Does the company have a temp-to-perm hiring option? Does your management team talk about workforce modeling and the right mix of temporary workers and employees? If you answer no to at least 2 of these questions, your company could be using outmoded methods for finding the right talent.
When I talk with others about the subject of contingent labor,, there are those who feign interest. Thankfully, I no longer have to explain what a contingent is. But really, if your company isn't already using contingents, it's a dinosaur in terms of labor best practices. In other companies, contingent usage is booming.
A 2011 survey by Staffing Industry Analysts reveals that companies are planning to increase their use of such workers by 26 percent over the next two years. The survey includes responses from 236 contingent buyers from 187 large companies that have more than 1,000 employees.
In fact, firms in the restaurant/hospitality and finance/insurance industries are among those planning the biggest increases (42 and 40 percent) in their use of contingent workers, according to the study. "Historically, the retail and hospitality industries have been under-penetrated by contingent labor," said Robert Balicki, research associate at Staffing Industry Analysts. "However, our survey results indicate that these buyers may be finally coming around and embracing temporary workers. Of course, the degree to which these projections will be realized will likely also depend on the economy."
Economic mood swings aside, as we start 2012, sit back and make a new year's resolution. Understand how to use temps and why they can enhance your competitive stance. Talk to your peers who engage them. Or call us. We can help.

By By DAVID ANDERSONRichfield Reaper associate editor
The Sevier County Commission adopted a tentative 2012 budget Monday that reflects a good year for growth, said Sevier County Commissioner Gary Mason.
Mason said the biggest shock that came during the budgeting process was the realization that Wolverine Gas and Oil has overtaken the Sufco mine as the largest property taxpayer in the county.
"We didn't see it coming that fast," Mason said. He said the valuations for Wolverine have grown as its oil field east of Sigurd has developed. The growth of Wolverine helped spur an approximate $150,000 increase in collected property taxes.
"Overall it was a pretty good year for us," Mason said. He said the county commission approved a 1.5 percent increase in wages for county employees, plus 28 cents an hour.
"If you average it out, it's a 3 percent increase," Mason said. He said the reason it was split was because if it was based entirely on percentage, the employees who earn the most would get the biggest benefit, while those who need the most would get the smallest raises.
Mason said the federal payment in lieu of taxes and Secure Rural Schools funding have also helped the county hold the line on its budget for 2012.
Another pleasant surprise came from an item that was approved at the last minute - a $3.5 million federal grant, said Steve Wall, county clerk.
Accounting for the federal grant pushes the county's budget from last year's total of $12.6 million to $16.9 million this year - a 25 percent increase.
However, the federal grant is a one-time infusion that is to be used for flood mitigation projects along the Sevier River, Wall said. The federally funded mitigation projects are slated for 2012.

MORRISTOWN – Who won the War of 1812?
Thats the question up for debate during Thursdays War of 1812 lecture at the Morristown Gateway Museum, 309 Main St. Held to commemorate the ongoing 200th anniversary of the war, experts from the north country and Canada will discuss the politics, local impact and ultimate meaning of the War of 1812.
Dr. Alexander E. Kuehl, a retired Gouverneur doctor, former St. Lawrence County Public Health director and summer resident of Morristown, said 1812 marked the beginning of Americas first preemptive war.
I make the analogy that this was an unnecessary war, much like George Bushs invasion of Iraq, he said.
Dr. Kuehl is in the process of writing a book about the political wrangling that transpired prior to and during the war. His book is tentatively titled 1814: Americas first preemptive war.
Because the north country was a hotbed of activity during the war, Dr. Kuehl said Thursdays presentation will be especially interesting for budding history enthusiasts who may not be aware of the role the region played in the conflict.
The people in the north country are just unaware of just how much history was here during the War of 1812, he said. Essentially the war started [in the north country].
Michael P. Whittaker, president of the Canadian Friends of Fort de la Presentation, will also present a Canadian perspective on the war at Thursdays lecture.
Mr. Whittaker agreed that the war was unnecessary. However, it was instrumental in leading to the formation of a modern independent nation of Canada, he said.
James E. Reagen, a local historian, will add further nuance to the discussion by looking closely at the local reality during the war.
What a lot of people here along the northern border have never grasped is that, if you look at the southern border of Canada, these communities were settled by refugees of the 13 colonies who wanted to stay loyal to the king, Mr. Reagen said. The reality is that the north county was the front lines of the war.
He said the war is of more tangible significance to Canada than to the United States.
It probably did more than anything to solidify a Canadian identity, he said.
Furthermore, Mr. Whittaker and Dr. Kuehl believe the war was in large part the result of political realities within the United States government – a point they will explain in greater depth during the lecture.
Dr. Kuehl said the fact that 1812 was a presidential election year is a significant clue leading toward a better understanding of the war.
And Dr. Kuehl, Mr. Reagen and Mr. Whittaker also believe there was one clear loser in the war: Native Americans.
Following the war, Mr. Whittaker said, any discussion of a sovereign homeland for the Native Americans was lost.
The United States was not interested in negotiating any homeland or national land for the native people, he said. It was simply dropped from the discussions.
Dr. Kuehl said, Some people would say that the last best chance for the Native Americans to have a country of their own in North America was lost with the end of the War of 1812.
There were Native Americans all over the eastern seaboard of the United States and Canada, but within about 20 years after the War of 1812 there essentially were no Indian reservations east of the Mississippi River, he added.
The event will take place at 7 p.m. on the museums second floor.

Picturing Enlightenment: Thangka in the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College
This special exhibition marks the completion of an extensive project to conserve the Mead Art Museum's collection of thangka (pronounced "tan-kah")—scroll paintings of Buddhist figures. So fragile that they have remained largely inaccessible to scholars and museum visitors for nearly six decades, Amherst College's eighteen thangka, primarily from Tibet, have been gently cleaned, stabilized, and repaired by conservators at Museum Textile Services in Andover, Massachusetts, under the leadership of Camille Myers Breeze. A generous grant from the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation and additional support from the Amherst College Department of Religion underwrote the conservation treatment. The Louis and Nettie Horch Foundation provided further support for the conservation of one thangka.

On June 28 the Price City Council adopted ordinances 2012-004 and 2012-005 pertaining to fire safety and the use of fireworks as well as fireworks use restrictions within Price City.
While Class C common Utah state fireworks are legal to sell and own, the use
of those fireworks is now restricted within Price City.
Price city has restricted use of any fireworks within 150 feet of any undeveloped property
or within 150 feet of any urban-wildland interface area.
Due to the extreme fire hazard conditions presently surrounding and within Price City the fire chief, under the terms of the ordinance, has further restricted use of fireworks within the city limits to the former Durrant Elementary School property which is now part of USU Eastern. The property is located at 600 East and 500 North. Fireworks can be used there between the hours of 9 p.m and midnight on July 4 only.
All other locations, dates, and times are restricted for the use of fireworks until such time as the restriction is lifted by the fire chief and Price City. Price city requests that all residents wishing to use legal fireworks within the city limits gather orderly at the above location and time. Other use of fireworks within price city, outside of the allowed area, date and time, may be subject to a violation of the ordinance and citations may be issued.
The city stated that they wanted to thank USU Eastern for the use of the property on July 4 so that citizens can still enjoy legal fireworks displays.

|Zionville Man Killed in Sunday Motorcycle Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 13 January 2013 22:28
A Zionville man was killed in a motorcycle crash late Sunday afternoon near his home. The state patrol said that 51-year old Christopher Higgins and a friend were riding their motorcycles back from Boone when just after 5, Higgins passed his friend on Old US 421.
The SHP said that Higgins lost control of his cycle, ran off of the two lane road to the right, struck an embankment, and was thrown from the cycle. Witnesses arriving at Higgins found him not breathing and started CPR while calling 9-1-1. Zionville first responders continued the CPR until Watauga Medics arrived, but Higgins was pronounced dead on arrival at Watauga Medical Center. No charges have come from the accident.

Shifting between auto-eroticism and material fetish, 'sim|stim' proposes a cargo cult of sensual nano-alchemy. It celebrates temporary mummification of the body by engaging in an erotic relationship with shape changing clouds of synthetic material.
Touching on the topics of body enhancement and death through preservation, sexual attraction is being conserved in floating silicone bubbles; flesh is suspended in ersatz aspic, comparable to an 'inverse boob job'.
This piece was dedicated to the launch of Odiseo Magazine No.4 on invitation by Folch Studio with Carlota Santamaria. 2014 Fine Arts
Cloud II, Walls is building tension between an uncontrolled catastrophe and the controlled, abstract and clean environment of the engineer's drawing space. Considered a homage to Daniel Libeskind's early drawing work "Micromegas" and the "War and Architecture" drawings of Lebbeus Woods, "Cloud II, Walls" makes it possible to think two realms as one: the potential of systemic failure together with the assertion of control and the beauty of generating an artifact of indeterminate form in between.
It is also part of Zeitguised's larger strand of work that is concerned with clouds of grey goo: a transitionary, metastable mass that is nothing yet becomes anything, if only for a fleeting moment. A swarming system that shows symptoms of life and the agility of a connected organism, the cloud is a bastardization of the abstract and the real as a twitching borderline between fiction and concretization.
In a post-anthropocentric motion, the cloud works postulate that the predictable merging of nano-, bio- and information technologies will render perpetually evolving shapes into real artifacts of uncertain polymorphic appearance.

Zeitguised's interpretation of "The Zoo" (Funkstoerung) is a lighthearted piece that affirmates the ease of synthetic constructions against the heavy, serious notion of established notions of images, including the prevalent and unquestioned photorealism in the computer graphics industry itself.
The piece visualizes the track's intricate layers of sounds (conceived to be a lullaby) by combining the glitchy stop motion style of Alex Rutterford's 'Gantz Graf' (Autechre) with photoreal rendering, glowing surfaces and bare polygon errors.
Familiarly dull and generic, the environment of unappreciated places offers a perfect backdrop for a vivid zoo of machines mutating. They inhibit a technologically explicit world, where they are part of an ever evolving stream of becoming in accidental recombination and distorted proliferation. Their busy self-perpetuation creates gentle monstrocities and monstrous poetry.

Featured in swiss architectural magazine Hochparterre's "Raumtraum" section, these visualizations of future architectures search for the accidental in computer driven manufacturing processes.
Based on iconic housing shapes, these buildings were intended as prototypes for mass-customization. Yet, as things go with computerized manufacturing, there have been misplots. The cartridge was not loaded properly. The concrete was set to the wrong parameters or scale. The printer module falsely translated a data set…
These misprints are the rejects of this early process, and they are now being used as shared homes by elderly people from the former squatter scene. 2010 Art Direction, Architecture

The base for these enlarged tiny grown crystal structures are textile pattern, with two different levels of translation. One is the layer of color, where a scan of the textile is taken directly to color individual parts of the structure. The second layer is a translation of fabric weavings into three dimensional stacks of interlocked platonic bodies. Both layers are in an uneasy, off-set relation with each other. On a meta level, the simulation of photographed space seduces to imagine this setup as an existing material reality. 2011 Pattern Design, Fine Arts

An abstract world in the style of early-lofi-game-console-3d is rocked by an eerie interplay of an artificial earthquake and snowfall.
A piece entirely avoiding traditional techniques (keyframing etc.) in 3d cg. The role of classic animation is replaced by a scripted dynamic system with feedback, and a scripted generative setup. Therefore it develops independently and yields unpredictable results. It unfolds interactively, live and real time on screen like a computer game.

Peripetics or the Installation of an Irreversible Axis on a Dynamic Timeline.
Peripetics is a piece in six vignettes that show imaginary states of a system after taking catastrophic turns. In a nonlinear order we see expressive constructions like the gallery installation of an oversized educational model of a plant-body-machine, a liquid plaster turbulence forming a staircase and supersonic induction of heart convolutions.
The setting is that of a contemporary art gallery, pushing questions about the meaning of representational imagery in times of ready made simulation techniques and an art market circulating virtual images rather than material objects themselves.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Talking 'Bout Dry Kill Logic
Posted on February 12, 2008Didn't we previously mention that DKL was checking out bands coming through town? Well, now we expand on that...a few words from bassist Dave Kowatch on the songs, sights and sounds, seen and heard:
1) The Drowning Pool, Coal Chamber, Ill Nino, 40 below Summer tour at the W.W.F. center was the shit. I got down there early after having 2 Guinness beers on the ride down. Saw the boys in 40 and I.N. The show was loaded and killer. I saw some DKL shirts down there. Met These dudes, Frank and Ryan, at the bar that had a DKL shirt on and I had a few drinks with them, okay a lot of drinks. Thanx for hanging. I also saw Triple H, and the local street teamers, the Pit Dogs are still in effect. By the end of the night I was drunk, but met a few members from the band Dope.
2)Then Friday DKL went up to the webster Theater to see Skinlab. That is on hell of a drive there and back. Phil was tired, but did not fall asleep on the long ride home. We all were hanging out on their R.V. and it brought back memories of touring. The next day, the boys in Skinlab drove to my house and we all went to the city for the parade and the sites. In all the hanging and partying we left there tech in the bathroom, and lost him for 30 min. It was long day that ended up at St. Marks pl. and C.B.G.B.'s. So on the ride home, on the subway, we were still drinking and someone accidently stepped on a passenger's shoe. This guy would not let it go. He and his friend wanted to take on all 9 of us, and we do not look normal at midnight, drunk and tired. So this dude pulls out a gun on us, yeah no shit, the whole subway cleared out in no time, like in a cartoon. Steev, being a large pissed off guy, just took over the situation and told the guy to leave. So even if you have a gun, you still can be a piece of shit, and so he left. Later that night we all went out to some local bars, and another huge fight almost broke out when S.L.'s drummer took a picture of a girl. She flipped and wanted the film. So basically we said fuck no and kept on hanging in the midst of her pissed off friends. *******DAMN SKINLAB IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH, I LOVE THOSE GUYS****** AND THEN REAL EARLY IN THE MORNING THEY WOKE ME UP TO JUMP START THEIR R.V.
3) Then all of us hit the Jagermeister tour in conn. It is great to see Coal Chamber live again. They were an early inspiration for all of us. They were sick as ever. It was a trip to see Cliff and Phil hanging out and doing shots. We hung with all the boys from Jagermeister and did shots right out the bottle. Thanx for the great time to the Jager crew, especially Rick Z. and Rich Hardesty, who has a cool cd.
Currently, the band is "doing laid-back rehearsals," as bassist Dave Kowatch tells. "we are in the studio finishing up a song, finishing the mixes actually." Did You Know? The current place where DKL is recording these demos, it is the same place that Anthrax is recording at. It's true. Dry Kill Logic leave with one last line today, about Fear Factory - "we were long time fans. They were the first band we toured with and they taught us a lot. We will miss them."
We mentioned yesterday that the band will be hitting a studio in upstate New York on Wednesday to do rough recordings of nine new tracks. Well, we now have a few song titles of these new tracks for you - "This You Never Want", "Still Bleeding", "Death Of The Day", and "Neither Here Nor Mist". Hey, and did you check out the www.espguitars.com homepage yet? Do it now...
For the past month, Dry Kill Logic has been rehearsing 7 days a week...though bassist Dave Kowatch admits "might have missed 2 days somewhere along the line". So, what do they have to show for the past month of rehearsals? Well, this upcoming Wednesday (Feb 6) the band heads into some studio in some town in upstate New York to do rough recordings of nine new tracks...to give others an idea of what they have been working on... Come Friday (Feb 8), Dry Kill Logic will be heading to the Machine Head concert at Irving Plaza in NYC to hang out, and see old friends and fans. All except possibly Cliff, who might have to stay back should he still need to throw vocals down on the new tracks from Wednesday's recording session.

A very reliable source in the Roadrunner US office, that being the famed Marketing Matt, informs us that a new video from Dry Kill Logic was delivered late last week. New video? Yes. It was written previously that the band recorded a cover of the U.S. baseball anthem "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" for the upcoming PlayStation 2 game MLB Slugfest 2003 (due out in the US in March 2002) - a hardcore, full contact baseball game. Well, apparently the recording wasn't a spot on cover, but more of a rendition of the tune. And the title of what came of this rendition is "Riot At The Bat Rack". And, a video was made for the track. Marketing Matt tells the video features shots of the band playing in front of some green screen, live footage, as well as baseball plays. The song is signature Dry Kill Logic, very heavy. When are where this video will pop up has yet to be determined, but rest assured you will be afforded the chance to see it here in the future.

Download Free Prong Cover - On September 23rd, Dry Kill Logic spent a day at the legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The purpose of the trip? They recorded a cover of Prong's "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck", whose use was intended to be a "b-side" on the band's upcoming US metal radio EP titled "Rot". Well, all has come true.Today being the first time many of us here at Roadrunner heard this "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" cover, it shall be the same for you. Outside of recording the American Baseball anthem "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" in mid October for the upcoming Midway MLB SlugFest extreme baseball game, this is the latest recording from the talents of DKL.
Hot off the E-mail... We asked Cliff what he and the guys thought of their trip over here and they had such a great time, they wrote you all a short note!
"Hey everyone! Cliff from Dry Kill Logic here. I just wanted to take a second and write to you all and say thanks for an amazing time in September when we cam through with Spineshank. We had a blast, and we hope you did as well. You all kick a lot of ass, and we're hoping to be back over really soon. I'd also like to say thank you to all the kids that took the time to write to us and express their condolences for the Trade Center bombings. The band and their families are fine, and we can't begin to tell you how humbled we were by the kind words. You guys are definitely the shit, and we can't wait to come back over there and play for you guys. Take care, be safe, and until next time... stay M.E.T.A.L.
-Cliff & Dry Kill Logic"

A contoured body, comfortable set neck, flawless intonation and innovative electronics.
The legacy of Vox-branded electric guitars goes all the way back to the early sixties. This model continues the Vox tradition of exceptionally well-playing and innovative guitars. The Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar is cosmetically similar to the 55 solid-body guitars, and employs many of the same distinguished components. The 33 instruments represent a dramatic breakthrough in price for a guitar of this quality.
The signature VOX 3-D contoured body of the SSC33 ensures impeccable comfort and fatigue-free playing, offering a natural fit either seated or standing. Elegantly carved top surfaces result in a distinguished look and a comfortable playing position. Easy access to the upper frets is provided by the deeply cut inverse heel joint. Position dot markers are placed both on the fingerboard and on the side of the neck for fast reference.
The SSC33 guitar uses the same MaxConnect(tm) aluminum bridge as the Virage, offering extended saddle travel for flawless intonation with any-gauge string. Strings slide in from under the back edge of the bridge to make changing strings a snap. The full contact shape and light weight combine to deliver thick, rich tone with clear, singing harmonics. VOX Super Smooth tuners offer the SSC33 enhanced tuning stability, so you can play with confidence. The mahogany necks are topped with rosewood fingerboards.
33 guitars offer a deep range of tonal choices. New CoAxe pickups feature two pickup elements; each delivers a unique and sophisticated tone, yet each one remains whisper-quiet. The passive analog tone circuitry offers both a Master Volume and a Master Tone control to refine your individual sound. Logically laid out and easy to use, the controls allow fast changes during performance.
Neither a single-coil nor humbucker in the traditional sense, the CoAxe design incorporates a central row of pole-pieces encased in a high-impedance coil that's flanked by two blades. The entire construction is then surrounded by a low-impedance winding, which cancels the hum.
Chief designer Eric Kirkland says: "The basic idea is that the coils are coaxial: they're on the same plane, not stacked. The advantage is that the center sensing coil can work like a true single-coil and the outer, noise-cancelling coil is outside the magnetic field, between the central poles and the blades."
Let Vox be your new voice. Order today.

I picked up this guitar a few weeks ago after shopping around for quite some time. While I was in the store I played many other guitars including Epiphones, Fenders, Squiers, Ibanez, and a few others in the price range and here's what I found:
lets start with looks:
I bought the "teaburst" edition with a beautifully matched 3 piece ash top. The finish is nice and although its only a set neck, it LOOKS like a neck-through; a major plus in my book. Nice binding around the body too (although it just randomly cuts off at the neck, maybe neck binding too VOX?).
The tuners are unique and hold a decent tune, not horrible nor spectacular. Just average tuners with interesting looking pegs.
Out of the box the guitar was very well set up. It took a little tweaking to get the intonation just right, but definitely playable straight out of the box (YMMV).
The neck is fast and comfortable, frets were dressed nicely. (I'd personally prefer larger frets on this guitar, but I'm not considering them a negative aspect).
Bridge seems a little cheap but I like the design. Again, no complaints there.
This is where I'm torn. The Coaxe pickups are nice, but leave something to be desired at lower volumes. The tone is crisp and clean (run through a Fender Blues Jr.) with a bright, snappy response (don't worry, there's plenty of low end too). The switch to activate the outer blades is a neat feature, but really only at clean, higher volumes. Bedroom guitarists may not be able to enjoy the subtle versatility of the pick ups, but if you can crank your volume a bit, they do offer an interesting tonal variety.
If you're looking for the Les Paul look with out the expensive price tag or a nice P90 equipped guitar with a little extra umph then this is your guitar. Heck, even if you're looking to upgrade from your first guitar or even second or third I would still suggest this guitar. A great addition to any arsenal, especially if you're a versatile player.

This guitar plays and feels great. I really like its neck width and length--it's not short like most single cut guitars. The pickups are NOT as versatile as they describe. You can't get a true single coil sound from the pick up, actually, no single coil sound at all. Its 2-way switch is not a coil tap, but a series/parallel option. As the pickups don't sound good either way, and their cavity are for a P-90's, I will probably replace them for a pair of Gibson P-90's.

Just bought a few inexpensive guitars after playing about 50 used ones. The Vox and the PRS SE Series where the best I found.
Best Uses
Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
A very Unique Guitar...
Body: The body is very comfortable with its Ergonomic cut and deep contours. The top is a very thick piece of Ash (I have the Teaburst Model). The Ash seems to make the highs bloom more than the Maple does.
Neck: Nice comfortable cut...similar to the PRS "Regular" contour. Frets are spot on with no sharp edges and seem to be more "Medium" height. The nut job is well done almost too low.
Hardware: Tuners are comfortable and function with the "S" shape to them...they are smooth and stay in tune. The Bridge is Aluminum and is a top load type...Slightly innovative. I love it...it really brings out the tone of the guitar and lets it ring. Switches and knobs are good.
PICKUPS!!!: This is where the guitar sets itself apart from others, especially in this price range. Basically they seem to be a Hi Fidelity Pickup. The Cleans on this thing are similar to a Tele but with more body when in the "Clean" aka Singlecoil mode. Bell like but never thin. The "Lead" mode is thicker but still retains the top end but at the same time the bass is very tight and not boomy. The EQ is very flat but it seems to have a natural "Presence". If I had to compare them to anything it would be a neck P90 with A LOT of headroom. The other thing is that the pickups are DEAD SILENT.
Overall a great unique guitar. It doesn't really sound like any other guitar but at the same time covers a lot of sonic territory.

Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
I may not be a good player but I do own a lot of guitars to compare this one to. Most everything in gear comes down to its price point, at the end of the day, and there this heavily discounted guitar is exceptional value. It's got a tone of its own when compared to my other humbucker or P-90 equipped guitars, it is lighter than a recent Les Paul, has a fairly slim and very playable neck, has some nice contours carved in its body, has decent finish, hardware (I love the tuners, interesting bridge design) etc.
The only real negative is that several of the frets were sharp and had to be filed down, in my experience something unusual for an Indonesian made instrument.
So, would I pick this over, say, a LP Junior? Not if it were my only guitar, but I would certainly add it to the stable.

I'm very pleased with this guitar. As always, delivery from Musician's Friend was timely and it arrived in perfect shape. Only a few minor adjustments to match my personal preferences and it was ready to go. Great sound, great range of variations, nice action & feel. Also, can't beat the amazing price. Thanks MF!

Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
Everywhere I go, people tell me how cool this guitar looks. It's a Vox, after all, and it certainly looks good.
Anyway, the components are really amazing, especially for the price point (easy to use tuners and good, smooth frets) and seem to be identical to more expensive Vox models.
The initial setup is so horrible, it is laughable - no tension on truss rod so fret buzz is horrible, pickups (which are very hot) are positioned too close to the strings, extremely high bridge positions the strings a good half inch from the finger board, etc. But after a proper setup, the sound is amazing with good sustain. There is a clean (single coil)/dirty (humbucker emulation) settings on the pickups, but it takes a few seconds for the dirty setting. I don't get a lot of crunch though, even with the dirty setting, so I stay in clean. It is good for jazzy/bluesy sounds. Neck is pretty small and cutout/thin body makes the higher frets easy to access. I love playing this this guitar.
I have no regrets on this purchase and can see keeping this guitar for years.

Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
31 now, Been a player since I was 11. Music Degree, Studio Player, Teacher, bla bla. Anyways, I play too much and love all sorts styles of music.
My first impression just from LOOKING at the guitar: Uhg, cheap bridge, uber thick finish, cheap pickups, gross.
Reality when picked up: Fantastic sustain, resonates well, harmonics and overtones ring off the body wonderfully, what it lacks in pick attack acoustically it makes up for with the pickups. I'm not a boutique lover but I do prefer a good simple build from a poor build (not that low end guitars can't be cool).
A/B this guitar with a real Les Paul, Heritage, Quality Strat or Tele through a solid tweed amp and it comes out running with the pack. Which, is very rare for guitars in it's price rance, it's honestly in that league. Granted there are rare exceptions, let's face it, most Epi's, Ibanez's, Fenders, and Ebay Chinese production guitars do sound/play cheap when compared to their better counterparts. (Unless your tone is based off of your effects processor, then they'll all do the job!)
I can't say enough about this thing, I bought it on clearance brand new (a honey sunburst version). For some reason I felt it sounded better than the DC version, just a bit more vintage. The marketing nonsense in the manual actually, for once, has a grain of truth to it. The bridge chimes wonderfully, the pickups capture a very raw/wooden tone, and the feel is almost a bit too luxury-like. I'm not too concerned about my back or belly being comfortable as long as I can feel string vibrations.
Now, the overall tone isn't anything ground-breaking in terms of new territory. But, news flash, if you want to break ground you need to start studying electronics, computer programming, sensors, build interfaces, use Max/Msp, Csound, Buzz, Reaktor, etc..etc, rather than pretending your pedal board shows how original you are.
What could it use? I'm going to try and pop a treble bleed in it, she loses a lot of overtones when you roll the volume back, if you don't use a volume pedal that is. It would be neat if there was a satin finish option too.
Oh, also, everything is tight. The tuners and bridge allow for incredibly accurate tiny adjustments, even the alloy of the allen wrench seems to be of higher quality than any set you'll buy at home depot.
This axe, like most good solid-body electric guitar designs, can pull off a gig with Howlin' Wolf, Nashville Superpickers, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nirvana and is easy enough to play that one can run through straight 16th note nonsense even the shred dregs would approve of.
So, if you spend more time playing rather than mulling over capacitors used in your college tuition strat yet still appreciate good tone buy this blue collar machine before they're all gone.

Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
I am very pleased with this guitar. It is balanced and comfortable to play. I like the variety of sounds that you can get from the pickups. The action and the set up is good and there are no harp edges on the frets.
I have the vintage cream which looks OK. I also have the Vox SDS33 in tea burst which looks better. SDS33 is a bit neck heavy and not as comfortable as this guitar.
It comes with a very good gig bag.
Best Uses
Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
First impressions - I got the Blackburst, which had a somewhat green tint to the wood grain area. It doesn't look bad, it just wasn't quite what I was expecting. The frets were incredibly sharp, definitely not what I expect from a guitar that claims their 1K MSRP. My daughter's very cheap Rouge wasn't this bad. I didn't have anything to file them (ALL of them) down with the first day I got it and had pretty good scratches on my hand after an hour or so.
Other than that it is a nice guitar. VERY comfortable contour on the backside. The pickups/tone seem to sound better and have more variation int he controls at higher volumes IMO.
Overall, I would consider it a viable option against entry Fenders and Gibsons.
I gave it 4 stars considering its reg price. I would give it 5 at the sale price.
Best Uses
Comments about Vox SSC33 Single-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
I'm very pleased with the Vox SSC33. I'm on a tight budget, but need quality. This guitar provides for that.
The sound is unique, yet reminiscent of a Telecaster or Les Paul. The feel of the VOX is solid and comfortable. It also has a beautiful look. The "natural cream" finish however, is not as it appears on line. Its more of a yellow/amber color(which I prefer). The knobs and hardware are solid and smooth. The gig bag that comes with is also well-made.
I shopped around for quite a while before buying the Vox. I don't think there is anything out there that exceeds the SSC33's value-to-quality ratio.

Before you spend a bunch of $$$ try this guitar. I like it better than my Les Paul.Feel, tone, neck and controls all surpass Les Paul Standard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ninewest53 Perfect !! The color, size and fit are perfect. It is very difficult to find a 'chocolate' brown good looking shoe. I love it!! August 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorkingMamaof3 All-around perfect pump I have this shoe in four different colors, and this is the third time I am purchasing the nude. My forefoot is pretty wide, so I've literally worn out the sides of the two previous pairs, which is the only con regarding quality, but truly, it could just be my wide foot. These shoes are very comfortable, and I have no problem spending 8-10 hours in them during a work day. I highly recommend this product. June 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cara Comfy and Chic This is my second time buying these heels, I wore the first pair out. I can stand in these for hours, and the platform makes my legs look great! These are the most comfy heels I have ever owned. I should probably just stock up in case this style is ever discontinued...... May 7, 2015

There are some things in life that get better with age (wine, cheese, and George Clooney, to name a few). Generally speaking, however, we'd like our skin and hair to look as young as possible—or at least be an accurate reflection of how we feel on the inside. In our never-ending quest for the fountain of youth, we spoke with makeup artist Fiona Stiles (she's worked with everyone from Jessica Alba to Madonna) and Joico celebrity colorist Denis de Souza (Kate Mara and Mila Kunis are his clients) and asked for their expert tips on how to fake a younger appearance. Lucky for us, they were more than happy to spill their secrets—take that, gravity.

I've seen some sound cards that like the 3-in-1 cards that you could hear just about anything from the output. Usually just a misconfigured channel that need to be turned down.
On the Creative 52x, even the one I "HAD" dropped in the middle of being used. Sounds like a capacitor took a dive and exploded. Then again, you didn't mention if it still worked or not.
