Caroline M. Sun started drawing the same way most kids do. "They give you a crayon and you start doing it," she said. But it would be decades before the Jamaica resident would rediscover her love of art as an adult.
While an undergrad at Queens College, Sun's realization that she did not want to be a doctor spurred her to go to law school. A damages case against Kodak, in what was supposed to be the pinnacle of her career, turned out to be "not much fun," so Sun, now 46, started painting.
"Sure enough, I just kept doing it, and then it took over my life," said Sun, who returned to Queens College to get her MA, but, before she could complete her dissertation on animal breeding in the 18th century, decided that she "preferred the process of creating to commentating."
It was already clear that Sun was not like "most painters." She was mostly self-taught, like her hero, 19th century French painter Henri Rousseau. And she only painted animals.
Her boldly effusive, sparingly detailed creations recall not only the colorful paintings of Gauguin, van Gogh and Matisse, but art of the early Americas, which she encountered as a researcher at Queensborough Community College preparing 1,000 to 2,000-year-old Pre-Columbian art for exhibit.
"I feel an ancient impulse in my genes to depict animals the way ancient people depicted animals," she said. "I thought, 'it's wonderful that I am holding something that a person created hundreds of years ago, but I can understand it and recognize its beauty.' "
A big fan of animal stories, everything from Watership Down to "March of the Penguins," has inspired the animal narratives in Sun's work. Although most of her animals only reveal these stories to her once she has painted them, one recurring character always remains the same.
When she and her husband rescued their cat, Enoki, from where he lay on the side of the road, he was sick, sneezing and had a bad eye. The vet was not sure he would live. At the time, the couple had three cats and planned to bring Enoki to a shelter, but "the minute he started eating, I fell in love with him." She painted "Enoki Dreams" during those first weeks, while the cat was recovering.
Her other animals, though fictional, "have their own lives and own names that I don't know." A pack of snarling wolves in "The Conflict" allegorizes the most vicious standoffs between humans. "Whatever I'm feeling works into the painting, but they're general situations that we, as humans, find ourselves in, translated into animals in those same situations," explained Sun.
Her animals are totally imagined and always exude a sense of calm, whether an elephant, zebra or killer whale. She starts with a single gesture, like the framing of a polar bear's body around her cub, and ends with a background that reflects the mood conveyed by her main subject.
"I feel the animals inherently," she said. "I have an intuitive sense of the animal's shape. It starts with any sort of feeling. I see a shadow or a shape on the canvas. Then I paint a rough image of the shape. I carve into it like it's a sculpture and the animal starts to appear."
In that case, her animals' lives, driven by gradual discovery, resemble her own. While a Premed contemplating the MCAT, she never could have imagined the course her narrative would take.
"One thing leads to another. You can't plan ahead of time, and you're influenced as you go…Life's an adventure. You might as well have an interesting trip."

Remarks of Alejandra Y. Castillo - The White House Spanish Weekly Address: The Export-Import Bank
In this week's address, Alejandra Castillo, Director of the Minority Business Development Association highlighted the progress made towards rebuilding our economy, including the creation of nearly 10 million new private sector jobs in the past 53 months and the rise in the number of American exports to an all-time high. That growth is in part thanks to the actions of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, an organization that creates American jobs by helping to take American businesses global.

WASHINGTON (August 1, 2014) — Alejandra Y. Castillo, National Director of the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), today announced the appointment of Albert Shen to serve as MBDA's National Deputy Director.

Rihanna loves the World Cup so much.
Photo: Rihanna's Twitter/Trapstar
Considering how into the World Cup she's been throughout the past month, it's not a surprise that Rihanna watched the final game IRL in Rio de Janeiro. Also not surprising? After the game, she hung out with the victors. If Rihanna wants to hang out and take selfies with the World Cup, that's what happens, OK?
To the untrained eye, it may seem like Rih wore her new piercing, fave bucket hat, and a regular ol' black shirt to hang with the German team. The shirt, of course, is not regular, nor is it old old—it's Trapstar, has a very World Cup-appropriate name, and can be yours for $50.

Archive for the 'Mercuryland' tag
Mercury specialist selling off used parts inventory
Mercuryland – one of the nation's leading suppliers of 1949-'66 Mercury parts – will auction off its inventory of used cars and parts in October. The company's physical location will not be for sale, but the rights to the Mercuryland name, website, catalog and the company rolodex will be, so it could be an good opportunity for a business-minded Mercury enthusiast or a used-parts dealer looking to expand his or her business.
Mercuryland is still open, but they've suspended sales of used parts due to the auction, which is scheduled for 9 a.m., October 27, at 1104 T Road, Archer, Nebraska.
New and reproduction parts will still be available up to and after the sale. "We plan to keep selling new and reproduction parts up to the sale day and after, unless someone buys the business at the auction," said Joel Ferris who co-owns Mercuryland with his wife Dee. "Then I would like to see the new owner keep things going, with our help, until he is settled in. The business would need to be moved because we are not selling any real estate."
Joel's years as a Mercury enthusiast, restorer and parts purveyor have made him an expert in the care and feeding of post-war Mercs. By cutting back on the used parts business, he hopes to be able to focus his attention on research that could aid others with their projects.
"Dee and I would like to slow up," Joel said. "My interest in Mercurys will continue. I really like doing research on these cars. That is what I would like to get into. There are so many frustrated people looking for parts for these cars. I enjoy trying to find something or some way to make something work or find someone to reproduce the part or rebuild a used part."
Joel has a You Tube Channel with informational videos and he recently started a blog at www.mercuryjoel.com.
The auction will be conducted by VanDerBrink Auctions. For information about bidding and the various lots being offered, stay tuned to VanDerBrink's upcoming auctions page.

5th Seal White Robes
When Jesus had opened the fifth seal John saw a number of things including what is in the reading below.
White Robes of the righteous saints who had been killed, and who had been told to rest until the rest of the saints that are to be killed are killed.
White robes are a symbol of purity.
Background Reading:
The 5th seal White robes
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God
and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out
in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you
judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" 11 Then
each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a
little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers
who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
Revelation 6:9-11

In order to provide cardholders with an even greater level of security against theft of credit card information via hacking, we have outsourced credit card processing to TouchNet, which has provided our online payment portal for several years. A convenience fee is charged by TouchNet to cover credit card interchange fees (i.e., fees charged to merchants by Visa, MasterCard, and other credit card companies) and the cost of providing the additional security over credit card information.
For online credit card payments, TouchNet charges a credit card convenience fee of 2.75% of the amount being paid (minimum fee of $3.00) to cover this processing cost.
1. Why is Washburn charging a fee for the use of my credit card?
The convenience fee is charged by TouchNet PayPath to cover the cost of processing credit card payments. Washburn will not receive any portion of the convenience fee.
2. Why is the convenience fee 2.75%?
TouchNet PayPath established the 2.75% rate to cover processing costs.
3. Is Washburn the only institution that charges a convenience fee?
No. Many state and private institutions in Kansas use a provider such as TouchNet PayPath that charges a fee.
4. Is there any way I can avoid paying a convenience fee?
Webcheck and signature debit card payments made through WU-View are available without a convenience fee.
5. If I make a credit card payment in error, will the convenience fee be refunded?
No. You must take up any convenience fee disputes directly with your credit card company.
6. Can I use my debit card to pay online to avoid the convenience fee?
Yes. Online payments can be made with a debit card that has a Visa or Mastercard logo on the front. If you would prefer to pay with a PIN-based debit card, you can do so at the cashier window in Morgan 103.
7. Can I make a credit card payment over the phone or through the mail?
No. This is a security measure that ensures confidentiality of your information.
8. Can I use checks issued by my credit card company to make webcheck payments?
No. These checks can be presented at the cashier windows or sent through the mail, but the routing and account number cannot be used when making webcheck payments online. Credit card companies will not honor checks used electronically.
9. Will the convenience fee be included on any bill from Washburn?
No. The fee is assessed by TouchNet PayPath as an additional charge when making a credit card payment online.
10. How will the convenience fee appear on my credit card statement?
The convenience fee will appear as a separate transaction.
11. Will I be able to schedule a credit card payment when enrolling in a payment plan?
No. Credit card payments require you to accept the Terms and Conditions for each transaction, so scheduled credit card payments are not available.

Many of the poor are hardworking, resourceful and determined to solve their own problems. Without access to capital and financial services, income is irregular and sometimes only enough to survive day to day.
For nearly a decade we have been helping the poor, who are highly capable of starting a business. Our financial services complement and further World Vision's aims to reach out to those living in poverty. These combined interventions help to improve their lives; their children's future; and the communities where they live.
VisionFund Tanzania will train thousands of farmers to understand the demands of the commercial markets, produce successfully for those markets, provide loans to purchase farming inputs and enable over thousands of savings accounts within the footprint of the program. We also anticipate that this will eventually lead to a several fold increase in the income of farmers and help improve education, nutrition, housing, health and spiritual well-being for themselves and their families.

I've seen a lot of cases where people create new threads complaining that the search function on this site does not work well, and then ask a question that has been asked many times before. This generally doesn't bother me because it is the nature of the internet and forums, but it seems to really irritate others. So, maybe those who flame could also suggest this method to fellow readers.To search within backpackinglight.com, you would include "site:backpackinglight.com" in your Google search. To get even better results, including the sub-forum name helps. For example, to search for posts about knives in the G-Spot forum, go to Google and search:"knife g-spot site:backpackinglight.com". To manipulate the results even more, you can explore the "search tools" in the new Google sidebar. Happy searching
Edited by zackcentury on 06/16/2010 07:05:25 MDT.
It really works quite well that way. I never use the BPL search function.
"It really works quite well that way. I never use the BPL search function."The same. It's unfortunate not everyone knows about this.
I'm bumping this thread.I don't just believe in saving the environment but saving knowledge and not wasting peoples time;->
While this may be a viable solution I believe this line of thinking is what has created most of the issues we face today as a nation.Instead of fixing the problem (of the site built in search working well) we create complex work arounds that require outside resources and special training to use.Now this may sound like a gross exaggeration, but not really, if google search was so simple then even the most basic users would already be doing it.We do this in goverment all the time... problem x arises, instead of addressing problem x, we hold hearings, we create a new controlling regulatory branch, we fund it, we hire 100 people, we create 10K pages of codes no one understands, and then we pay lawyers to interpret it to us, then we all pay more taxes to pay for all our new found protection.Or we could simply spend the money once, solve the problem (in the case of my government example, usually punish the offender) and move on.
Edited by Slvravn on 03/24/2011 09:26:09 MDT.
The Google search works well and you can also pick a date period.Building a better forum search function may not be a high priority for BPL. It probably does not generate enough money from members to even pay for itself.
How do you put in a date range?
While the pre-set date searches in Google are sometimes useful, custom date range searching with Google seems to be a pain. You can use "daterange:startdate-enddate" in your search, but the start and end dates must be in Julian format. However, this page allows for easy custom range searching with google.(On a side note, oddly enough the forum's profanity filter didn't like that site's web address, so I had to use a tinyrurl link.)
Edited by roguenode on 03/24/2011 13:46:30 MDT.
Mark, while I totally agree with you, that was one Hell of a reach from linking BPL Google to the woes of our government! :)
Yep cant argue with that, it was a reach, just one of my pet peeves...no one wants to fix the problems just mask them till we forget.Nick, i wasn't suggesting the new feature would generate more revenue, I was suggesting what revenue that is currently being generated should be used in part for upgrading the forum software to something competitive with similar forums outside of bpl.
We are aware of the limitations of the current software. Sometimes painfully.I believe work is in progress on another significant upgrade. But it costs money, and the GFC is not kind ... so it will be a while before it is complete.Cheers
From an old post of mine:Folks have mentioned on here a few times about doing a site search using Google instead of using the built in search engine. Macworld online has a great article about creating a javascript bookmark (including the javascript 1-line code, just copy and paste!) to make it easy. See article here.
If you're using Chrome you can go here:chrome://settings/searchEnginesThen at the bottom of the page, add a new search engine with this URL:http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=site%3Abackpackinglight.com%20%sGive it a keyword like 'bpl'. Thence forth you can just type 'bpl' (or whatever your keyword was) and then your query. I know there's a way to do the same thing in Firefox, but I've forgotten how.
Very helpful post thank you very much. I belong to several other forums and for a moment I thought I going nuts trying to search for my previous posts here at BPL. Much better :)

You might remember Eddie Murphy as '90s classic character Dr Dolittle, or for his role as Detective Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop, but what you might not know about this hilarious comedian is that he can string together a mean reggae beat while absolutely shredding a mic and guitar. Not a newcomer to the world of music making, Murphy's audio claim to fame was the '80s hit "Party All The Time," but having recently released the light and smooth tune "Red Light" with Snoop Lion it looks like Murphy is jumping head first back in to the music game. With album 9 set to release early next year, check out the video and slick tune above.

ALBUQUERQUE — Gov.-elect Susana Martinez has made her pick for New Mexico's next public education secretary — a woman who led school reforms in Florida.
Under former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Hanna Skandera implemented reforms at middle schools and high schools aimed at improving accountability and giving incentives for high academic performance while ending social promotions.
Martinez said reading scores in Florida
schools went up dramatically.
Bush, in a statement released after Skandera's nomination to New Mexico's top education job, called her "a passionate, effective advocate for improving student achievement."
Martinez, a Republican, pledged during her campaign for governor to end social promotion, give merit pay to the best teachers and raise standards.
"There is no place more in need of major reform than our public school system," Martinez said. "We will no longer throw more money at a failed system and expect different results."
Los Alamos Public Schools Superintendent Gene Schmidt said he's optimistic about Skandera's plans for education in New Mexico.

What Is Great Night Sleep?
If you want a great night sleep, you can try Great Night Sleep. This sleep supplement hit the market back in 2003 with a blend of ingredients that should help you fall asleep and stay asleep. This sleep aid tries to ease your mind from over stimulation and anxiety while reducing body tension or RLS that keeps you awake.
How Does Great Night Sleep Work?
By packing in powerful ingredients into one product, Great Night Sleep attempts to outdo other sleep supplements. The blend of magnesium, chamomile, melatonin, passionflower, niacin, and calcium are common in sleep aids. Great Night Sleep adds an additional ingredient, jujube. Jujube is used to relieve nervous tension along with niacin, passionflower, and valerian. Other ingredients in Great Night Sleep have mild tranquilizing effects on the body to promote sleep and reduce the number of times you wake up in the middle of the night.
Will Great Night Sleep Show Results?
Great Night Sleep could show results, if we knew how much of each ingredient was in the product. Great Night Sleep eagerly shares the list of ingredients, but lacks evidence showing how much of each ingredient is actually in the mixture. Without knowing the concentrations of each ingredient, there is not proof that Great Night Sleep will be effective in treating sleep disorder like insomnia.
The Final Story
Great Night Sleep is a similar to most sleep supplements on the market. This product does little to differentiate itself from other sleep aids and have no reputation to suggest it is better than alternatives. Without knowing the exact amount of ingredients in Great Night Sleep, you can be wasting your time and money on a proprietary blend of uselessness.

Tiger Woods is reportedly taking a swing at beating the addiction that has kept him in headlines for over a month.
According to a New York Times Magazine writer, Benoit Denizet-Lewis, Tiger has checked into Gentle Path, a sex addiction program at Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Benoit wrote the scoop on his personal blog on Monday. He speculated that Tiger possibly began treatment somewhere else, such as The Meadows treatment center in Arizona, but that an unnamed source confirmed he was the newest patient at the center in Mississippi.
Benoit has a personal connection to the treatment facility. He has spent time there recovering from a sexual addiction, as well as interviewing staff and patients for his book America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of Life.
The program is run by Patrick Carnes, who, according to Benoit, is the one of the world's leading experts on the slippery slope of sex addiction. Patients attend group, family, and couples therapy. Supposedly, Tiger and wife Elin Nordegren "are serious about repairing the marriage, she will be spending some time in treatment with Tiger."
Let's hope the couple is up to the challenges ahead.

What causes fever and joint stiffness? 8 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
Viral gastroenteritis, also known as the stomach flu, is caused by a number of different viruses. Its symptoms usually last for two to three days.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease, a disease in which the immune system mistakes the body's own cells for invaders. In RA, the immune system attacks the synovia, the membranes lining the joints.
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the blood. When the concentration of uric acid gets too high, sharp urate crystals form and collect in the joints, causing swelling and intense pain.
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that causes granulomas, which are clumps of immune cells, to form in different organs. A skin rash is one symptom of sarcoidosis of the skin.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a form of chronic arthritis that affects children. It is a long-term autoimmune condition characterized by stiffness and swelling in the joints. Most cases of JRA are mild.
An infected Rocky Mountain Wood tick can spread Colorado tick fever, a viral infection. A faint, occasional rash is one symptom of this condition.
Temporal arteritis is a condition in which the temporal arteries, which supply blood to the head and scalp, become inflamed or damaged. Scalp sensitivity or tenderness is a symptom.
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as valley fever, is a fungal infection that starts in the lungs and can potentially spread to the rest of the body. Fever, chills and sweating are common.

New favorite aromatic. Not usually aromatic fan, and when I smoke one I want to know I am smoking one. This is by far the best aromatic I have tried in both flavor and room note. The best way I can describe this is it is a clean smoke. Zero tongue bite, smooth, tastes, and a whole yard of BBQ attendees (some anti-smoking) all commented how wonderful it smelled. I was a bit hesitant to write a review so as to always have a plentiful supply, but I want others to enjoy it.

Got a good deal from P & C, 3 tins for $11 and some change. Tin note mostly chocolate and some vanilla and similar to CB White but not as pronounced. Packed and lit well and there was no bite or moisture - all good smoking qualities. Not much in the way of taste for me in either the toppings or tobacco flavor. Although there was no moisture while smoking, perhaps letting this dry out to just before crispy will bring out some flavor. No chemical taste which was a big plus considering Lane produces it (perhaps because it is tinned rather than in a pouch?). Good for beginners to learn the nuances of the hobby without frying the tongue, but unless my drying experiment can ramp up the flavor profile, I'll have to hold at 2 stars.
Pipe Used: Butx Choquin meer lined briar
Age When Smoked: Fresh from tin

TERRY MATTINGLY: Pollster's interest in religion went beyond numbers
Decade after decade, the Gallup Organization reported some of the most familiar numbers in American religion.
More than 90 percent of Americans said, "yes" when asked if they believe in God — a number that has changed little since the 1940s. Nearly 80 percent insisted they are "Christians," in some sense of that word.
How many claimed to have attended a worship service in the previous week or so? That number hovered between 41 and 46 percent.
These are the kinds of numbers religious leaders love to quote when trying to intimidate politicians, educators, journalists and Hollywood producers.
Nevertheless, these poll numbers consistently failed to impress one significant authority — George Gallup Jr.
"We revere the Bible, but don't read it," warned the famous pollster, in an address to the Evangelical Press Association. "We believe the Ten Commandments to be valid rules for living, although we can't name them. We believe in God, but this God is a totally affirming one, not a demanding one. He does not command our total allegiance. We have other gods before him."
The bottom line, he said, in an interview after that 1990 address, is that most American believers simply "want the fruits of religion, but not the obligations."
Gallup didn't enjoy punching holes in comforting statistics, in part because he sincerely believed that religious faith played a powerful, and for many decades overlooked, role in American life. This conviction was both professional and personal, since Gallup seriously considered becoming an Episcopal priest and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in religion at Princeton University before joining the family business.
Thus, while his father forever linked the Gallup name with political polling, George Gallup Jr. added a new goal for the firm's research — probing the links between religious life and public life. Gallup retired in 2004 and died Nov. 21 at the age of 81, after a one-year battle with cancer.
The key to Gallup's legacy is that he built on the basic religious questions his father and other researchers included in polls during the 1940s and '50s, said political scientist John C. Green of the University of Akron, who is known for his research into American politics and religious life. Instead of merely asking questions about religious affiliations, Gallup advocated a more systematic approach that focused attention on religious beliefs, attitudes and even behaviors.
"You got the sense that, however valuable those general numbers were in earlier polls, he was showing that you could experiment and try to find the realities inside all those numbers," said Green. The earlier Gallup numbers were "valuable because some of them went back so far into the mid-20th century. Then, George Gallup Jr. showed everyone that you could go beyond that general approach and dedicate entire surveys to religious questions."
By the end of his career, it was common to see a variety of researchers — at the Pew Forum, LifeWay Research, the Barna Group and elsewhere — focusing their work on highly specialized surveys targeting religious issues and trends. In 1977, Gallup helped found the Princeton Religion Research Center, in part to produce materials that would help clergy be more effective.
The basic problem, Gallup told me in 2004, is that far too many clergy "simply fail to take discipleship seriously. They assume that because people say they believe something, that this means they will live out those beliefs in daily life."
Far too many pastors, he lamented, seem afraid to ask tough questions.

The major goal of this project is to identify the role of the immune responses in the emergence of protease inhibitor mutants during therapy.
Hepatitis C
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Evaluating the Role of the Immune Responses in the Emergence of HCV NS3 Resistance Mutations During Protease Inhibitor Therapy
- Finish the Standard Treatment [ Time Frame: 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Blood samples will be drawn while the subject is on treatment.
- Clearance of Virus [ Time Frame: 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Blood samples will be drawn while the subject is on treatment.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Blood lymphocytes from enrolled subjects will be retained until all investigations will be performed and publications are generated. After that remaining samples will be discarded properly according to the Biosafety instructions.
|Study Start Date:
|January 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
10 Hepatitis C infected subjects
10 chronically HCV-infected patients who fail the standard peg-IFN and Ribavirin therapy (NR) and are therefore eligible for combined treatment with Protease Inhibitor therapy.
Detailed Description:
Objective 1: Evaluate the role of the immune responses in determining the emergence of HCV NS3 resistance mutation during protease inhibitor therapy
Hypothesis 1 (HT 1): Low HLA binding to peptides containing protease inhibitor resistance mutations is associated with the emergence of protease inhibitor mutants during therapy and failure of the treatment.
Hypothesis 2 (HT 2): A hole in T cell repertoire may allow emergence of protease inhibitor mutants during protease inhibitor therapy which leads to loss of the immune responses to these mutants and failure of treatment.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Investigators plan to enroll 20 human subjects with chronic hepatitis C virus infection from the outpatient clinic at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
Inclusion Criteria: All chronically HCV-infected patients who fail peg-IFN and RBV therapy and are eligible for combined treatment with PI therapy will be enrolled. Briefly, this includes:
- Male or female
- Age 18 to 65
- Chronic HCV infection evidenced by liver biopsy or persistent HCV viremia for >6 months
- Treatment experienced and classified as non-responder or relapser to prior interferon-based therapy.
Exclusion criteria:
- Treatment naïve chronically HCV-infected patients.
- Patients with a history of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) or suspected IBD, autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, and any patients on systemic immunomodulators.
- Pregnancy

Discontinued years ago, plenty of Fender Bassman 200 combo amps are still available used on ebay.
But here's the questions: Should you buy one?
While it's an acceptable product to many players, there may be a reason it was discontinued.
The Fender Bassman 200 left the Fender line in the mid-2000s when the Bassman line was gutted.
It is a medium-power combo amp with a middle-of-the-road sound that never hurt anyway.
No one is likely to accuse this amp of being the best available, but plenty of players made it work for them -- and lots of them still use one.
Internet reviewers consistently compliment the sound of this bass amp, with more than one saying it is the best sounding amp he has ever owned.
That's a great compliment for a solid-state amp without any tubes to warm up its sound.
In fact, it's hard to believe with this amp being so inexpensive.
Lows growl nicely, however, not ferociously.
The mids stand up straight, but no more than on any good amp.
The highs sparkle through, perhaps a little better than you would expect from a bass amp.
Versatility isn't a problem with this amp either. Go for jazz, and you won't be disappointed.
Slap that bass in a swing band, and no one will complain. Shore up the bottom of a punk group and fit right into the sound.
A limiter keeps you from damaging the Bassman 200 by overreaching.
The amps dependability, however, has been called into question.
Lots of players report problems with this amp right out of the box or within the first couple of month.
In fact, some wonder if design flaws aren't the reason Fender pulled the line.
Since they're no longer available new, you won't be buying one right out of the box, however.
Because dependability is an issue, when you're looking at used offerings on eBay or other sites, read the listing carefully and ask questions.
For example, has the one you're considering been repaired?
If so, what parts are replaced -- and are they Fender replacements or some other brand?
You might be better off going with something new, like one of Fender's currently available Rumble models -- or something offered by another company.
When it comes right down to it, the Bassman 200 may have been discontinued for a reason.
It's a model that doesn't offer performance that's strong enough to overcome dependability reservations.

BOSTON (CBS) – State Senator Brian Joyce believes medical marijuana should carry the same 6.25% sales tax as other purchases within the state. But critics say that patients should not bear the brunt of any extra cost, and that the state is already collecting money through fees and licensing. Senator Joyce sits down with Dan to explain why he added the tax amendment to the budget, and why he believes it's in the state's best interest. Do you think medical marijuana should be subject to a sales tax?

As an engineering co-op student
at Mercury Marine's testing facility in Stillwater, Okla.,
Angolano works on pushing the limits of the components that
make up the inboards and stern drives assembled at the plant.
"We test the components before or after they go on the
boat," Angolano says. "That's something I enjoy
As a fourth year student at OSU,
Angolano participates in the school's engineering co-op program
that allows students like him to gain experience in the real
world while pursuing their studies. Always interested in the
mechanics of the world around him, Angolano knew mechanical
engineering was right for him. "It just always fit,"
he says. "When I was younger we used to play with Legos
and I always ripped my toys apart to find out how they worked--to
see what the gears do. Most of the time I'd break them."
Angolano doesn't get in trouble
for breaking things anymore. It's all part of the job.
Sometimes he and other engineers
at the plant have to take their testing elsewhere. He says
that when working for a subsidiary of Mercury Marine, MerCruiser,
this can mean a trip out to a nearby lake to put a ski boat
through the paces.
Angolano's position in the testing
division requires him to have a detailed knowledge of computers
and mathematics. His supervisor, test engineer Tim Lowery,
said that he encourages his co-ops to be active in their pursuit
of engineering.
In addition to his responsibilities
at MerCruiser, Angolano is involved with a number of professional
organizations on the student level. He is a co-chair of OSU's
chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the vice
president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
and a member of the Fluid Power Society at school. He says
that his experiences with these groups and at work have helped
him to grow as an engineer.
"We are focusing a lot in
engineering on groups and presentations and working with people
even if you might not like them," Angolano says. "There
is a group atmosphere in engineering work these days, such
as getting other people's perspectives on a project. That's
why this is a great preparation for the workforce."
According to OSU's co-op coordinator
Cathy Southwick, a student has never complained to her about
their co-op experience at OSU. This is in spite of the fact
that it can sometimes add year to their studies. "It
makes theory more real," she says. "Most students
report that their grades are better."
The accumulation of that new knowledge
is aided by a head start, Angolano says.
"There is a great learning
curve when you first start a job," he says. "They
say it takes three years to learn a job. Doing what we're
doing with the co-op, it's drastically cutting that down.
You come out here and work and by the time you graduate you
already have had a year and a half of work."

Calin Bleu was established in 2005, and specialises in high quality, British made baby wraps. We have vast experience in designing stylish, durable and comfortable cotton wraparound baby slings, giving your baby a natural and supportive posture whilst being carried.
Our range of cotton baby wraps are made from 100% natural cotton, and are perfect for all seasons. They are available in 2 sizes – medium and large – and in over 12 colours and designs, including our Limited Edition Union Jack flag.
For new-born babies, we recommend a natural cotton wrap, as this light and breathable material ensures your baby is comfortable without being too hot. Cotton baby wraparound slings are ideal for active parents, and can be worn both in and out of the home.
Stretchy microfleece wraps are extra soft, water-repellent, and can be spot-cleaned easily and quickly – especially good if your baby suffers from reflux. Stretchy baby slings are slightly narrower than our cotton baby wraps because they 'give' a little more.
Carrying babies in wraps and slings has been very popular in northern European countries for many years, and this trend has been growing in the UK and USA also. The benefits of carrying your baby in a wraparound baby sling or baby wrap include even weight distribution whilst carrying, closer contact between baby and parent, and a wide range of safe and comfortable carrying positions.
Have a look around our online store, and start taking advantage of the benefits of carrying your baby in a Calin Bleu baby sling.

Please read all label information carefully on delivery and prior to use.
The low pH of this shampoo has eliminated my irritation and leaves my hair beautiful and shiny. It smells great and it is safe for sensitive skin. This is the best shampoo for children. I would highly recommend this product to children who has sensitive skin.
My son (3) has very sensitive skin and most soaps irritate his skin and cause his exzema to break out more. Not Exederm! Love this shampoo for my son! Finally something that doesn't make his skin worse!
I chose J&J No More Tangles because although I love the shampoo we've been using for our daughter since the day she was born (Mustela), she's gotten enough hair now that she has tangles. This was the only tangle-free option I found in our local drug store and I thought I could trust the brand. I have learned from that mistake.
My first annoyance came when, in the middle of the bath when I'm wet and she's slippery, I found that when I opened the bottle it was sealed under the cap. So I have to find a way to peel off a tightly sealed bottle with wet soapy hands. Grr. (I have never in my years of experience washing my own hair ever encountered a sealed shampoo bottle. I get that it's for kids and I guess they want to make sure it doesn't get ingested, but what busy parent has the time and energy to be tasked with another silly chore like this, especially in the middle of a bath? And once the seal is off after that very first use, if a baby is going to drink it, the seal doesn't protect her in that case.)
The second thing that turned me off was the smell. It's soooo artificial and sweet. In fact, the very first thing my husband said when he got home that night was, "Why does our daughter smell like cheap perfume?" It's awful.
The third nail in the coffin for this shampoo was how hard it is to rinse out. My other brand takes barely a single pass with the shower wand to rinse out of her hair. This took almost a solid minute to get out. I know the tangle-free agent is conditioner-based so there would be a little more rinsing involved, but this was way too much for a baby. She was practically apoplectic by the time we were finished rinsing.
The final straw was that my daughter had just as many tangles as with her other shampoo.
I used it twice and am giving it away to someone I don't like. Even if my old shampoo is twice as expensive as J&J, I'll buy Mustela every time.
"I have tried almost a dozen natural baby washes and this wins my vote. The scent leaves baby skin smelling delicately of orange sherbet and 'clean'. To my amazement it also leaves even my daughter's long hair soft. This wash isn't as 'sudsy' as I would like, but it leaves skin soft, not sticky like some soaps. Recommended!"
This is the best stuff. The smell is great, not a real strong purfume smell. People don't realize that the Johnson & Johnson stuff has sulfates in it, this has none of that.

Play our fun game and find out if the one you like likes you back. Confide in us if you think you'd hit it off by clicking: Yes, No, or Maybe. We'll anonymously find out and let you know if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said YES! If the feeling is mutual, we'll let you both know.

You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I'm a nerd at heart. Im enthusiastic and curious, and I love to analyze things in order to learn what makes them tick. I feel like when we peek under the surface there's a depth we often forget exists because we're so used to taking things at face value. But such analysis isn't nearly as interesting alone as it is with a partner! So, now I'm looking for someone to join me. Let's match wits, and lets have a good time together.
Oh, but I like to have fun, too! I mean, what good is all that peeking under surfaces and analyzing universes if it doesn't make for strong witticisms, and exquisite talking?! And can't whiskey also help us see a depth to the world we didn't previously notice?! If you prefer, I'm always down for movie night, the beach, an art show or a football game. And in spite of the way the first paragraph reads, I don't take myself that seriously. Some of my photos should attest to that. :)
Yes, reading, movies, fine dining, Martinis even...these are things we use to share our perspectives, stretch our minds, and enrich our human condition. Art, sports, the beach, of course these things are fun, but they also can be inspirational if we engage them the right way. If you agree, and like to talk about it, we will probably get along. If you're intellectually curious, we're also likely to get along. And if you want a partner who you will challenge and who will always challenge you in return, we are already off to a great start. Come take a walk with me, let's see what its like when we do it together. Oh, and I can promise that I'll be honest and open minded the entire way. If you're looking for average, you should probably keep looking.

Brazil has kicked off the first carbon neutral goal for the world's largest sporting event – the FIFA world cup.
Hoping to motivate organisers, the government has asked clean energy producers such as solar and wind energy plants, to donate carbon free certificates to the World Cup to offset carbon emissions.
"Big sporting events are increasingly winning green medals for their environmental performance. In doing so they can inspire the wider society towards climate action in support of a better world," said Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The centrepiece of the World Cup, and indeed any major sporting event is the venue itself. More and more we are seeing top sporting venues boost their green credentials with the addition of solar.
Here's our pick of the best:
The green World Cup
The Estádio de Pituaçu FIFA stadium in Salvador was the first football stadium in Latin America to install solar panels.
Brazil next year will adhere to a strict Sustainability Strategy, aimed at providing the greenest World Cup ever.
At least seven of the 12 stadiums to be used for the football World Cup in Brazil, beginning 12 June 2014, will be fitted with solar arrays for on-site generation, including Gehrlicher Solar's installation on Pituacu Stadium
Originally all 12 stadiums had been expected to be fitted to some degree with PV arrays and other green energy measures, but ultimately only seven will have them fitted in time for the tournament. Brazil aims to stage the most sustainable World Cup to date, with the benefits and potential of solar power showcased to a global audience of millions, along with other environmentally-friendly features such as facilitating the smart collection of rainwater, built into the design of the Maracana Stadium in Rio De Janeiro.
An inauguration event was held for the 14MW rooftop solar array at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, popularly known as the Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte, as reported by PV Tech in May last year.
The stadiums' solar arrays will all have different energy roles to play, with the photovoltaic panels on the Mineirão feeding directly back into the grid, while the 2.5MWp rooftop plant at the Mané Garrincha is expected to be used to power half of the stadium's energy requirements. The Arena Pernambuco in Recife will utilise solar power for facilities including kitchens, changing rooms and toilets at the stadium, with electricity going into the grid when the stadium is not in use.
Funding for each stadium's solar capability comes from a variety of sources; Brazilian energy company Odebrecht Energia has invested around US$13 million into the Arena Pernambuco, while the Mineirão's PV arrays were funded by around US$16 million from German bank KfW and Brazilian utility firm CEMIG. FIFA's own invested figure of US$20 million would barely have funded one and a half of the stadium PV installations, but at least in this instance some private investors appear to be keen to pick up the cost.
Rio's Maracana, historically one of the most famous and feted football grounds in the world, will be attempting to attain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. An array of 1,500 rooftop solar panels is expected to be complemented by the aforementioned system of collecting and reusing rainwater.
A 1MW rooftop PV plant has been installed on the roof of Itaipava Arena Pernambuco, another of the stadiums that will be used in the 2014 World Cup football tournament as Brazil puts sustainability at the heart of the event.
The 49ers
Football doesn't have the monopoly on solar stadiums however. The San Francisco 49ers are doing their bit for the NFL.
They announced a partnership with NRG Energy to install a 400kW system at their home in Santa Clara. The system will generate enough electricity all year to offset what it consumes during a season's worth of home fixtures.
SunPower was selected to provide the panels.
Washington Redskins
Sticking with the NFL, the Washington Redskins also teamed up with NRG Energy, this time for a 2MW install at FedEx Field.
As well as generating 20% of the power required on game days, the stadium includes some extra solar flourishes including a translucent solar entrance and a 30 foot sculpture made using thin-film technology.
The Yankees
While the array is actually installed on a neighbouring building (GAL Manufacturing), its proximity to one of the biggest names in US sport the New York Yankees, brought a extra exposure for the industry during its formative years.
SolarCity and MC Solar Development completed the installation of a 237kW rooftop solar system next to the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York back in 2012.
PV Tech has a full run down of some of the biggest US sporting solar installs here.
Singapore Sports Hub
The Singapore Sports Hub, a "state of the art" sports and leisure complex currently under construction, will feature a 707kWp rooftop PV installation. Modules will be supplied by REC Group, while construction of the plant will be carried out by Phoenix Solar. The complex includes a 55,000-capacity national stadium for Singapore, complete with retractable dome roof. The stadium will be carbon-neutral as the PV installation is designed to offset energy required by its cooling system. Phoenix Solar will own and operate the self-consumption plant.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Homelessness, unemployment, mental and physical health: there are a number of serious issues our veterans face.
In Lewiston, there's a veterans fair that attempts to address many of them.
For the second year, the Lewiston and Auburn Military & Community Network organized the event.
There were 38 exhibitors representing a wide variety of services and organizations set up in the Lewiston National Guard Armory Saturday morning.
Veterans learned about everything from VA Benefits, to career center services, to cancer screenings.
If a veteran was unable to attend, but would like to connect with the exhibitors present, he or she should contact a local State Veterans Service Office.
