Make Your Mark: Respect
13 - 29 November 2015
Bond Store Basement
This exhibition presents young peoples' perspectives on issues that matter to them, through the medium of electronic art. The theme of this year's Make Your Mark project is 'respect' and the young artists have explored topics as diverse as environmental values, self-identity in the online realm, and domestic violence while using analogue and digital technologies as their creative medium.
Make Your Mark is an art education initiative of TMAG in partnership with local governments, community organisations and selected professional artists.
The program has involved art workshops, gallery excursions (physical and virtual), local displays of the young artist's work, and this exhibition. It took place in the Waratah-Wynyard, Central Coast, West Tamar, Hobart and Huon Valley Council areas.

Panoramic Views

Panoramas, typically large and alive with detail, fascinate us. They invite careful examination. Our attention is drawn by an entire vista of numerous features, not by a single focal point.

The work in this exhibition has been selected from TMAG's 19th century colonial watercolours and drawings collection, which is an extremely significant and extensive one. Featured are stunning panoramas of Tasmania and places further afield, by artists including Eugene von Guerard,Thomas J Lempriere, Louisa Anne Meredith, Augustus Earle and F G Simpkinson De Wesselow.

The Suspense is Awful: Tasmania and the Great War
17 April 2015 - 28 February 2016
Argyle Gallery 4
The Suspense is Awful commemorates the role Tasmanians played in World War I and the impact the war had on Tasmanian society.
Drawing from the museum's collections, the exhibition highlights stories previously untold – including those of Tasmanian Aboriginal servicemen and of the men and women who provided medical support on the front line.
Thousands of Tasmanian men and women enlisted to serve in WWI, and by keeping diaries, writing home and collecting souvenirs they created their own memories of the war. Their families found the four years of war awful, as they wondered whether they would ever see their loved ones again.
This exhibition tells the story of their wait – how they grieved, kept themselves busy, helped the war effort, were interned as enemy aliens, argued about conscription, and remembered and made sense of the sacrifices made.
Visit the dedicated exhibition website to explore the poignant stories and see the wonderful images featured in The Suspense is Awful.
This exhibition has been supported by the Australian Government through the Anzac Centenary Arts and Culture Fund and the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program.

Palfreyman's Pharmacy Display
24 July - 22 November 2015
Link Foyer
If you had a cold, pain or more serious ailment at the turn of the 20th century, the pharmacy would often be your first stop. Doctors were expensive and pharmacists were a cheaper alternative, able to make up and supply remedies to relieve symptoms.
This display recreates the well-known Palfreyman's Pharmacy, located on the corner of Burnett and Elizabeth Streets in North Hobart from 1912 until 1973. After the pharmacy closed, its fittings and furnishings were collected by TMAG for the State Collection.
This display provides a fascinating glimpse not only into Hobart's past, but also the history of medicine in the early 20th century.

Beyond Woop Woop: John Kelly's Antarctic Paintings
12 June - 20 September 2015
Salon Gallery
In 2013, Australian artist John Kelly travelled to Antarctica supported by an Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship. The two month period on the icy continent and the 21 day journey on the ice-breaker Aurora Australis inspired the captivating series of paintings presented in this exhibition.
Kelly travelled with a light easel and a carrycase that contained canvas boards, paints and brushes. This system enabled him great flexibility, providing access to remote sites where he painted subjects as diverse as penguins, snow petrels, amphibious vehicles, helicopters and research stations to establish a many-sided view of Antarctic life. Remarkably, nearly all of the paintings were created en plein air in the freezing conditions.
'Woop Woop' is the larrikin-name of the airbase at Australia's Casey Station in Antarctica which appealed to Kelly's dual senses of humour and isolation. Aptly titled Beyond Woop Woop, the exhibition also depicts Kelly's exultant response to the Antarctic landscape: the vastness, strangeness and magnificence of its mountains, icebergs, and the light night sky.
This exhibition is presented by TMAG in association with Dark Mofo. The project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship.

Capital and country: the Federation years 1900 - 1914
14 March – 11 May 2014
Argyle Galleries 1-3
Capital and country is a travelling exhibition of paintings from the national collection, developed as the National Gallery of Australia's gift to the nation in celebration of Federation and the centenary of the Federal Capital in 2013.
It considers the parallel stories of Federation landscape painting in Australia and the art produced by Australians who lived in Europe during this period, which takes in Edwardian England and the last years of the Belle Epoque in France before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.
The works brought together in Capital and country reveal the richness and diversity of non-Indigenous Australian painting during the Federation years. They range from sunlit images that convey the nation's patriotic embrace of their own landscape, to those that emphasise the popularity of portraiture and figure painting in Europe.
Well-known and loved works in the national collection by artists such as Frederick McCubbin, George W. Lambert and Hans Heysen are brought to light in new ways alongside lesser-known images by Florence Fuller, Godfrey Rivers and Richard Hayley-Lever that will both surprise and delight.

Ian Burns: Afloat Asunder
14 June - 28 July 2013
Bond Store Galleries, Basement
Australian artist Ian Burns will work his wondrous whimsy over a two-month period, and present the outcome (who knows what, exactly?) inside the historically rich Bond Store exhibition space. "Like the eighteenth-century philosophers Rousseau and Burke, I see curiosity as the first of all passions. I believe that by provoking the investigative impulse in the viewer there is scope to challenge their expectations and self-awareness." – Ian Burns
Presented by Detached Cultural Organisation, in association with Dark Mofo and TMAG.
Please note: Patrons are advised Afloat Asunder features slow flash and strobe lighting. Image:

Colonial Women
15 March – 21 July 2013
Salon Gallery, Henry Hunter Galleries, Level 2
Colonial Women explores the work of ten artists active during the 1830s-1850s, a period of cultural and scientific innovation and expansion in Van Diemen's Land under the patronage of Jane Franklin.
Louisa Anne Meredith, Mary Morton Allport and Theresa Walker regarded themselves as professional artists, while Susan Fereday and Ann Buckland combined drawing with scientific investigation and illustration. Elizabeth Princep and Elizabeth Haller had lithographs created form their sketches, whereas Anna Maria Nixon and Emma Haller simply drew for pleasure. Collectively, the work of these artists contributes to our understanding of life in colonial times.Image:

A Passion for Nature appraises the work of W C Piguenit (1836-1914), Australia's first native-born professional landscape painter.

If Friday nights are any indication (whether you're slaving away in Lamont or drinking away at the Bell Tower), excess at Harvard is not a sin. Students here love to compete and love to win. So what happens when you challenge a handful of them to race across campus and indulge their appetites for hangover HUDS? FM presents Chickwich Challenge 2010: 12 dining halls, 12 chicken patties, one hell of a competition. Last Saturday, five fearless students mustered up the courage to throw down (and throw up) for glory: Johnny F. Bowman '11, Helen E. Bradshaw '11, Neil T. Curran '12, Collin A. Jones '12, and Matt C. Jones '12. Their task was simple: to tear through Harvard's campus, one House dining hall at a time, starting with Currier. The first one to finish a chickwich from the Mather grill would be declared victor, but even reaching Cowperthwaite Street would prove to be more than some could handle.
"Guys. I worked at Chick-fil-A for 18 months. I'm from the dirty South," Collin A. Jones '12 said. He was sitting with three other Chickwich Challenge competitors in Currier dining hall, waiting for the contest to begin. "I'm not nervous," he added. "I'm hungry."
Paper cups filled with barbecue sauce and water were scattered across the table. It was 11:47 a.m., and 13 minutes remained until the kitchen would open and war could begin. The participants sat, consumed by thoughts of vomiting and victory.
Justin Bieber's song "Baby" blasted from Collin Jones' iPhone, and three other competitors began some aerobic stretching to warm up. Johnny F. Bowman '11, sporting a button-down and a sweat band around his head, arrived carrying six small bowls of various sauces and placed them down at the head of the table. Preparation, it would seem, is everything.
Bowman's propriety seemed especially absurd when looking at the other contestants. As Collin Jones continued singing along to "JBiebs," Neil T. Curran '12 reclined leisurely in the geriatric-chic Currier dining hall. "I normally eat 12 chickwiches on Saturdays, so I'm not nervous," said Curran.
On the other side of the table, Helen E. Bradshaw '11, the only female contestant, expressed a bit more concern. "I will probably never eat a chickwich again," said Bradshaw.
Just before the contest began, the rules were explained to the participants one last time. Matt C. Jones '12, looking rather enlivened, shouted, "Yes! No buns!" In the crowd of nearby observers, someone asked, "How many chickens do you think that is?" Unclear. But according to FM's calculations, even without buns, each patty is 250 calories. By the end of the competition, contestants—the successful ones, anyway—consume 3,000 calories in chickwiches.
Some participants had more experience than others. The three participants from Quincy were all members of the "Saturday Lunch Club," a group devoted to food consumption. Their monthly extreme eating activities include "Kill the Grill," in which teams of five work together to finish two of each HUDS grill item, and the "Dunkin' Donuts 5K," where participants run to the three nearby Dunkin' Donuts, consuming a set number of doughnuts at each one.
In the final minutes before the competition, the Saturday Lunch Club participants huddled together. Peter D. Davis '12, a resident of Currier House and Collin Jones' self-described "eating coach," announced, "Collin's gonna win. There's no point in even covering anyone else." According to Jones, Davis gives him pep talks and eating exercises. "He took me on pro bono as well," said Bradshaw.
At 12:03 p.m., the infamous Chickwich Challenge began.
From the start, eating techniques varied among the contestants. Collin Jones, Matt Jones, and Curran folded the hot patties over in their hands, submerged them in water to cool and soften the meat, and practically inhaled the chicken. Bradshaw ripped it with her fingers into smaller scraps. "This will help get it down, guys," she assured.
Meanwhile, Bowman neatly cut his chickwich into bite-size pieces with a fork and knife, daintily dipping each piece into a different sauce. Bowman's style stood in stark contrast to that of the rest of the competitors, who finished their chickwiches in a matter of moments.
While Bradshaw and Curran tried to finish their chickwiches (as Bowman made a third cut into his patty), Collin Jones sprinted ahead out of Currier and toward Pforzheimer with Matt Jones closely following him. As crowds of Currierites gathered, Jones and Jones continued sprinting, indifferent to the onlookers and nearly bowling over a few people at the door.
Collin Jones slid into Pfoho, gaining a slight lead as Matt Jones scrambled to find his ID for swiping purposes. Collin's lead was short-lived, however—once Matt burst into the dining hall, he downed the chickwich effortlessly and bolted through the exit toward Cabot, leaving the other Jones chewing at the table.

Eva Mendes Steps Out in a Yellow Juicy Couture Dress

Eva Mendes was out and about looking lemony fresh in her dotted Juicy Couture minidress. I love how she looks just as pulled together in an easy going minidress as she does in jeans and a tailored jacket. She went the extremely casual route with some leather flip flops but strappier flat sandals add that extra oomph for all you Fabionistas.

ProMetic Life Sciences Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, has announced new and positive data on two of the company's orally active anti-fibrotic drug candidates.
In a standard animal model used to mimic the long term detrimental effects of diabetes on the kidney and the liver, ProMetic's once a day oral treatment with PBI-4050 demonstrated a significant reduction in kidney hyperfiltration, proteinuria and hepatic steatosis. These results suggest that PBI-4050 could be potentially be used as a novel therapy for diabetic kidney disease and liver steatosis. PBI-4050 has been shown to treat fibrosis in several different animal models and is being prepared to enter into clinical development in 2013. Other data confirms the effect of ProMetic's drug candidates on interstitial fibroblasts which are the principal cause of organ fibrosis. "TGF-beta-stimulated fibroblasts secrete connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) which functions as a downstream mediator of TGF-beta action on fibroblastic cell types are important in collagen production. ProMetic's drug candidates have demonstrated the inhibition of CTGF and collagen production in murine and human fibroblasts and consequently to reduce kidney fibrosis in 5/6-nephrectomized rats and unilateral ureteral obstruction models", said Dr Lyne Gagnon, ProMetic's director of research and development, biology.

Have you been through the editing process?
Have you opened a manuscript and wondered how the editor managed to kill an entire family of puppies on your work electronically?
Have you gone through the edits and thought, "What the hell was wrong with that sentence? It makes perfect sense!" and then struggled with whether or not to argue the point, or to hold out for the bigger stuff you want to argue about?
I'm the person you get to argue with.
I'm the one that goes through with the electronic red pen and carves up your beautiful word pizza with a hatchet.
But, I'm also a writer. I'm doing a doctorate in creative writing, in fact. So I've been through the editing process. I understand that sinking feeling in your stomach when you see the crushed tomatoes and wonder what the hell ever made you think you could write in the first place. That working at McDonald's would be more rewarding and far less painful for your ego.
There's a definite tension between editing and writing. It's something I struggle with in my dissertation work. My natural tendency, after nearly a decade as an editor, is to edit as I go. This disrupts the flow. It cages the creativity and makes the story flat, the characters dismal, the plot muddy.
Writing means flowing. It means letting go and allowing yourself to write really terrible stuff until you find the diamond waiting in the middle of the mire. It means getting the story out, from beginning to end. Then, once you're there, you can go back and start working through the story, finding gaps, fleshing, cutting, moving, etc.
Being an editor means I am always ultra-aware of nuance, of structure and character. I see the story in my head. I close my eyes and picture the manuscript and consider where restructuring might take place, where things need to be fleshed out or cut. I consider whether that moment that happens on page 72 needs to happen on page 3, or page 80. Clearly, this doesn't help when I'm in the process of writing my own novel. Letting go, getting messy, allowing the words to fall where they may, is part of getting the novel written. The nitty-gritty stuff should come after the fun-creative stuff. But I just can't seem to let go. I'm working on it. I had no idea I was such a word-control freak.
Being a writer means I'm aware of what it is to be edited. That it can be painful, and soul crushing. So when I edit I try to take that into account and explain as best I can why things have been changed, or why they need to change, or be cut, or fleshed out, or moved. I've always said that when an author finishes a novel, it's like giving birth. And I'm the midwife. When you've pushed out that big lump of beautiful mess, I take it from you. I clean it, smack its ass, make it scream, and give it back to you. It's still your baby, just clean and screaming.
It's worth it. The tension between editing and writing, the feeling of having your stomach scooped out with a sharp spoon when you get your edits, the ecstasy of seeing your cover and the sublime feeling of holding your book in your hand. It's all worth the birthing ritual and bloodletting.
The Bloodletting Process
Have you been through the editing process?

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant is out for the season after being placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury he got in the season-opening win against the Eagles.
The club also placed former first-round pick Justin Harrell on injured reserve and signed running back Dimitri Nance and defensive end Jarius Wynn to fill their spots on the roster.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Grant sustained a "significant" ankle injury that involved ligament damage in Green Bay's 27-20 win at Philadelphia on Sunday.
Grant had run for 1,200 yards in each of the last two seasons. The Packers had only backup running back Brandon Jackson and fullback John Kuhn on the roster as replacements before signing Nance.

Questions about trekking Sapa (hotel and backpack)
Joined Travelfish
2nd July, 2011
Posts: 5
I'm going to be trekking in Sapa in Mid-July and am wondering if I need to book a hotel in advance. If so, are there any suggestions? I've heard good things about the Cat Cat Hotel and am wondering if anyone can verify this choice. Also, if I plan on staying for three or so days, should I get a hotel for one night and then head off on a trek? Is an overnight stay in a village worthwhile or necessary? Should I just use my small day pack for an overnight stay in a village? It seems like carrying one's whole backpack would be difficult considering the terrain. If I were to leave my backpack behind, is there a good place to store it that one can recommend?
I know this seems like a lot of questions but I have never done something like this before. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Hi stayed at the Cat Cat View hotel June 10, for 4 nights.Not to be confused with Cat Cat Hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. No need to pay extra for top floor middle level has the same excellent views. Very good food there from the Black Hmong chefs. Organized our 2 daily treks throught the hotel. Paid a little more for a guide and just the two of us rather than a larger group. If you want to do a homestay just leave your main pack at the hotel, no charge.Personally wasn't all that sold on the Homestays as it seemed a bit contrived but maybe that's just me.Definitely see Sapa as the views are stunning great food to be had on the main street and would definitely go back.
Hope that helps

Different may be good, but lets face it: Different can be scary. We like the familiar and dislike the unknown, and that continues to be a challenge for wine drinkers, myself included.
This year for Thanksgiving, I decided to do something completely different. Instead of the traditional gathering with family, friends and a big turkey in the oven, I headed to a remote little cottage near Charlottesville, Va.
The nearby Palladio Restaurant at Barboursville Vineyards was serving Thanksgiving dinner with a wine pairing, and this sounded like a great way to let others do the cooking and cleaning.
Instead of getting drowsy from too much turkey, I planned to get drowsy from too much wine.
Wednesday night, however, we were on our own for dinner. One of the few nearby options was Restaurant Pomme in Gordonsville, Va. Gordonsville with 1,500 or so residents is a quaint little town nestled in the hills about 20 miles northeast of Charlottesville. Its among the last places I would ever expect to find a French restaurant and a very good one, at that.
As we considered the menu, I headed by default to the list of California wines, but quickly stopped myself. Sitting in a classic French restaurant in Virginias Monticello wine appellation, a California wine seemed like heresy.
It was time to rethink things.
I looked at the four Virginia wines on the menu, but there would be five Virginia wines served during our Thanksgiving meal and many more to be tasted at area wineries on Friday and Saturday.
It was still time to rethink things.
Our waiter, who was quite knowledgeable about wines, was happy to make a recommendation. Beyond the practical value, this is a great way to break away from the routine and try something different. Asking a waiter or sommelier for a recommendation is something we all should do more often.
Perhaps that will be my new years resolution.
A bit to my surprise, our waiter suggested after learning our menu choices a moderately priced Louis Jadot Bourgogne 2010 French Burgundy. The wine, which is made with 100 percent pinot noir grapes, belied its price with a medium body, silky texture and gentle finish that paired well with our veal and chicken dishes.
Our first meal in the area proved to be a wonderful experience, as was our Thanksgiving dinner at Palladio. Here, food courses were paired with wines from Barboursville Vineyards. The pairings worked splendidly: oysters Rockefeller with lightly sparkling brut rose, salad with pinot grigio, pumpkin and apple soup with chardonnay, and turkey and sage sausage roulade with sangiovese.
Yes, you read that right: red wine with turkey.
Proof that different isnt always good. Sometimes, different can be great.

You walk in to your wife's office only to find her suck her boss' BLACK COCK, but instead of getting pissed off, you feel jealous you don't work for Mr. Big. Atleast your wife has job security.
10 thoughts on "Big black boss cock"
The black masters must be served by their obedient white slave ladies whenever and wherever they command.
The greatest job security ever. But done be fooled all the white girls would do this every day.
She serves her master well
Lori Pleasure?
I just love to suck a black guys big cock, and when he puts his hand on my head it just drives me crazy. cant get enough bbc.
I would LOVE to put my hand on your head.
MMMMM!!! I'D LOVE TO SHARE YOUR HARD DICK WITH THAT SWEET HOT AND WET BLONDE you have sucking your black cock!! I'd lick her pussy,an your dick before we take turns fucking your brains out!! Pound our pussies good-n-hard all night long!! MMMMM!! YEAHHHH!!! FUCKKKK!! MYYYY!! WHITEEEE!! PUSSYYYY!!!
I have seen my wife many times with her Black boss. In fact I encouraged her to start having sex with him for her job security. He has come over to our house to pick her up for a "date". The first time he did he put his hands up her skirt and said for me to remove her thong, which I did. Told me never to have her wearing one when she is with him. Next time he lifted he skirt. She was trimmed. made me get a razor and shaving cream and I had to shave her pussy clean. told me to keep his white pussy clean for him. She now has a tattoo of his initals just above her pussy and a queen of spades on her breast
I presently have two white wives with big tits and fantastic pussies that leave their husbands' beds whenever I call and come over to suck my cock and let me bang them silly well into the morning. I can order these chicks to fuck anybody I deem worthy and they do it for me. The control they give me is awesome. Its great to have a big hard black dick. Any guys out there who want to almost lose their wives to a great fucking can reply here.. same with you hot girls who know that 'special place' a great black dick can take you.

Jean-Pierre Nicol - La Solitaire du Figaro 2011
Now, by putting up a worthy performance in the first leg of the Solitaire du Figaro battle, the skipper of Bernard Controls has straightaway confirmed that he's one of the protagonists who will be writing the scenario for this 42nd edition. On the third step of a bitterly contested podium, 11 minutes and 22 seconds astern of the winner, Fabien Delahaye, and just 13 seconds astern of second placed Gildas Morvan, the Breton has once more demonstrated that he has become a force to be reckoned with after his intensive training in the Mediterranean.
Risky, difficult, testing... there were very few adjectives to give the impression that this leg would be easy as the fleet set off from Perros Guirec on Sunday. Well aware of the danger and the potential deficits that could be racked up at the finish in Norman waters, Jean-Pierre Nicol knew that this first slice of the action was the kind that could see even the top names tumble.
True to form the enlightened racer was keen to get off to a careful start despite really sailing his own race to England. 'These starts are always special with so many boats. There are a fair amount of risks involved. Ultimately I came off really well by opting for the middle of the road with some strong breeze. I sailed simply but efficiently, which meant that I was in on the action from the outset. I had a good Channel crossing, even though I got a bit greedy.'
Up in the Top Ten at that point, Jean-Pierre then tackled the main obstacle in this first act of the Solitaire du Figaro, the negotiation of the English coast, with a rather timid breeze and a particularly strong current. It was a frugal meal that was shared by all but a technical problem made it indigestible aboard Bernard Controls:
'Night fell over the English coast and that's when I realised that my alternator wasn't working anymore. It was panic stations at that point as that meant no batteries and hence no automatic pilot. I really didn't want to helm constantly. Frédéric Rivet, who knows a bit about mechanics, helped me find a solution with my secondary alternator. It wasn't as efficient as the main one but at least it worked. The problem was that this incident upset me quite a bit and I'd begun to lose ground. At Start Point, I decided to go for broke by heading inshore. I lost even more ground then and things were turning catastrophic... At that very moment, I said to myself that I couldn't have got off to a worse start!'
Down but certainly not out, Jean-Pierre then had to gather all his strength and draw on his experience and the precious lessons learnt during recent confrontations to come back strong. The solo sailor didn't delay in playing his instinctive card, pulling off a masterstroke in the process:
'I got some sleep so that I could get things straight in my head. That took nearly all night and in the meantime I was continuing to lose places. However, once my clarity had returned, I gave myself a shake and my goal then was to get as close as possible to the frontrunners and focus on not compromising my chances of ranking well in this Solitaire. I managed to get back level with them and ultimately rank amongst them, that is until the end of the night where I pulled off a move which made the difference. Whilst the others were kedging, I'd anticipated the tide turning and I'd hoisted my spinnaker. I ended up creating my own wind and crossed through the fleet at three knots whilst the others were at a standstill. I was literally slaloming between them, it was magical! Moving up through the fleet got my adrenalin levels pumping and I wasn't going to give anyone an inch from then on!'
At the finish, extremely happy and in surprisingly good form, Jean-Pierre Nicol was able to savour the ground he'd covered between the 42nd position he'd held at 0400 hours on Monday morning and this third place he took in Caen after a fantastic comeback. 'I'm very happy. It proves that I have real ambition and that I have what it takes to fulfil it. There are already some deficits with some of the sailors and that will influence the way I sail. I know that I'm intent on winning. I won't be sailing the same race now. I can't wait to be racing in the second!'
However, before the next stage in this Solitaire du Figaro and the renewal of ties with the open ocean, Jean-Pierre Nicol will be able to enjoy a well-earned rest with his nearest and dearest. The kick-off for leg two is this Sunday at 1600 hours, when the fleet set sail for Ireland. Needless to say, you'll be able to count on the skipper of Bernard Controls!

Found in: Acoustic Guitar Pickups
Rare Earth Pickups - Acoustic Heaven in an Active Magnetic Soundhole Pickup
It took years to develop a magnetic soundhole pickup that was good enough for the Fishman name. We think you'll agree that the Rare Earth was worth the wait. The first thing you'll notice about the Rare Earth is just how easily and cleanly it installs in your guitar. The pickup's low profile design ensures that both your picking style and the guitar's acoustic tone are not affected. To reduce the weight and improve the performance of the pickup, Fishman utilizes tiny, powerful neodymium pole-piece magnets, precisely voiced for balanced natural sound, whether you use bronze or phosphor bronze strings. Plug in the pickup and you'll hear the brilliant acoustic quality that has changed so many peoples' minds (including ours) about soundhole pickups.
The single coil is the perfect choice for those who prefer the brightness and character associated with a single coil pickup.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are debating whether military spending should be viewed as not only vital to national security but also a form of economic stimulus.
"As a fiscal conservative, I tend to oppose increasing government spending for the purpose of job creation," said Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
"But I think we must understand that the defense industry is unique in that it relies entirely on federal government dollars."
McKeon's committee summoned an unusual panel of academic economists on Wednesday to testify about the economic impact of defense spending and how that might sway lawmakers' decisions about the Pentagon budget.
One economist suggested a surge in military spending in the next one or two years as a way to boost the economy.
"We ought to ask the military services if they can move forward in time some of the replacement and repairs of the inventory that is going to happen anyway," said Martin Feldstein, a Harvard economist.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the defense cuts threatened under the current budget deal forged in August will add 1 percentage point to the unemployment rate currently above 9 percent and also eliminate 1.5 million jobs.
The economic impact of defense spending varies geographically. For example, in Virginia, the defense industry accounts for about 19 percent of all jobs across the state, providing $44 billion in personnel incomes to residents and more than $1 billion in state revenue, according to a study conducted in 2008.
Some lawmakers criticized the notion that defense spending can boost the economy.
"As we make defense spending decisions here in this country, I think it's important to clarify our greatest consideration should not be the multiplier effect of any given government spending. … First and foremost, it's military strategy," said Rep. Todd Young, R-Ind.
If the goal is to simply boost the economy, non-military spending should be considered, said Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga.
"What we are talking about here is a philosophy of government spending," Johnson said.
One economist disagreed that all government spending is equal.
"There are technical differences that are not ideological or philosophical in nature," said Peter Morici, who teaches economics at the University of Maryland. "If a widget manufacture gets all of his materials in the U.S. and employs entirely U.S. labor, it will have a higher multiplier effect. … Defense spending tends to have a greater domestic content than does a construction program. We use a lot of imported materials in construction."

those who know me...like, that whole inner circle thing...i'll give you a fill-in-the-blank quiz...
the #1 phone rule with connie is _________________.
i guarantee that some reading this got the correct answer.
do not hang up on me.
well, correction...you can hang up on me all you want, but...i borrowed this one from my baby brother...if you hang up on me, you're saying you don't want to talk on the phone with me, so...i'll not be talking to you on the phone. i will abide by your desire.
be upset all you want. but use your manners and say, "i'm going to go now."
so...here i sit. wondering what in the world i did. see, i normally know what i did in a phone call to tick someone off...but this one? i haven't a clue.
i did say that i didn't call to hear cussing.
i did ask why i don't count.
that one, i still don't understand...why don't i count? i'm a person...my mouth was talking...why don't i count?
and now, since there was the hang up...i have no idea if i am now one of the evil people.
let that be a lesson to you.
do not be concerned. do not state you don't want cussing. do not ask why you don't count.
don't do it folks. it might seem like a good idea at the time, but...i'm just letting you know otherwise....
and...no need to comment. i'm not exaggerating...didn't change the facts...
p.s. even though she might not think i count...i still think i count...

A kid threw an egg at me on my commute home - on a nice, quiet little (OK - long straightaway) side street in the 'burbs. I took it on the arm at elbow height. It splattered across my arm and chest, then dripped onto my pants. About 3/4 of a mile later, I took another look at my rear baskets. I saw a piece of eggshell fall off of me from some unknown location, so I must have left a trail of egg parts all the way home! I went out to the backyard and hosed off before coming in and visiting the washing machine.
I was grateful not to have taken the impact in my glasses, helmet, or any of a number of other more tender body parts.
Nothing got on my bike or the stuff in my rear baskets, so I'm glad about that. By the time I got home, the pain was pretty much gone. I did not get my wits about me soon enough to gather a license number. I barely even saw the car. It was raining lightly, so I was looking down and I saw the car just enough to judge that I was out of its way in my own lane. It also came up on me and went past pretty fast.
This story could have had quite a different ending. I'm grateful for the one I got. I have a good story, an egg-shaped red (so far) mark, and, hopefully, a bit more street smarts.

CHESTER, Va. - Authorities say part of a building under construction in a Richmond, Va. suburb has collapsed, and as many as 12 workers may be inside.
Chesterfield County Fire Lieutenant Matt Coffin says 911 dispatchers received reports that a dozen workers were inside when a 60-foot-section came crashing down Wednesday.
Crews are at the scene attempting to stabilize the rubble before going inside. Coffin says emergency teams have not determined if anyone is trapped.
The two-story wood structure is part of Chester Village Green, a mixed used development in Chester. The community is about 15 miles south of Richmond.
