This is the nerve in the wrist that allows feeling and movement to parts of the hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Causes The median nerve provides feeling and movement to the thumb side of the hand. This includes the palm, thumb, index finger, middle finger, and thumb side of the ring finger.The area in your wrist where the nerve enters the hand is called the carpal tunnel. This tunnel is normally narrow. Any swelling can pinch the nerve and cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness. This is called carpal tunnel syndrome.Some people who develop carpal tunnel syndrome were born with a small carpal tunnel.Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be caused by making the same hand and wrist motion over and over. Using hand tools that vibrate may also lead to carpal tunnel.Studies have not proved that carpal tunnel is caused by typing on a computer, using a mouse, or repeating movements while working, playing a musical instrument, or playing sports. But, these activities may cause tendinitis or bursitis in the hand, which can narrow the carpel tunnel and lead to symptoms.Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs most often in people ages 30 to 60. It is more common in women than men.Other factors that may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome include:Alcohol use Alcohol useAlcohol use disorder is when your drinking causes serious problems in your life, yet you keep drinking.

If this does not help, you may need to wear the splint during the day, as well. Avoid sleeping on your wrists. Placing warm and cold compresses on the affected area.Changes you can make in your workplace to reduce the stress on your wrist include:Using special devices, such as keyboards, different types of computer mouse, cushioned mouse pads, and keyboard drawers Having someone review the position you are in when performing your work activities. For example, make sure the keyboard is low enough so that your wrists are not bent upward while typing. Your provider may suggest an occupational therapist. You may also need to make changes in your work duties or home and sports activities. Some of the jobs linked with carpal tunnel syndrome include those that involve vibrating tools.MEDICINESMedicines used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Corticosteroid injections given into the carpal tunnel area may relieve symptoms for a period of time.SURGERYCarpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure that cuts into the ligament that is pressing on the nerve. Surgery is successful most of the time, but it depends on how long you've had the nerve compression and its severity.Carpal tunnel releaseCarpal tunnel release is surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is pain and weakness in the hand that is caused by pressure...ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Outlook (Prognosis) Symptoms often improve without surgery. But more than half of cases eventually need surgery. Even if surgery is successful, full healing can take months. Possible Complications If the condition is treated properly, there are usually no complications. If untreated, the nerve can be damaged, causing permanent weakness, numbness, and tingling. When to Contact a Medical Professional Call for an appointment with your provider if:You have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome Your symptoms do not respond to regular treatment, such as rest and anti-inflammatory drugs, or if there seems to be a loss of muscle bulk around your fingers Your fingers lose more and more feeling Prevention Use tools and equipment that are properly designed to reduce the risk of wrist injury.Ergonomic aids, such as split keyboards, keyboard trays, typing pads, and wrist braces, may be used to improve wrist posture during typing. Take frequent breaks when typing and always stop if you feel tingling or pain.Related Information Premenstrual syndr...MenopauseRheumatoid arthrit...Acute kidney failu...DiabetesAcromegalyHypothyroidismMultiple myeloma...OverweightPulmonary tubercul...

I am calling a method that returns a List variable that contains a c# Anonymous Type objects. For example:
List<object> list = new List<object>();
foreach ( Contact c in allContacts ) {
list.Add( new {
ContactID = c.ContactID,
FullName = c.FullName
return list;
How do I reference this type properties in the code I am working on like for example
foreach ( object o in list ) {
Console.WriteLine( o.ContactID );
I know that my sample is not possible, I have only wrote that way to say that I need to identify each property of the anonymous type exactly.
Not just one of the answer is correct and/or suggest a working solution. I have ended up to using Option 3 of Greg answer. And I learned something very interesting regarding the
dynamic in .NET 4.0!

Wonder what these people who want to outlaw gun's will think after they take away our gun's and the bad people start using knife's - machete - bricks - pitch forks or anything else they can get there hands on to butcher the people that follow the law (boy want that be better)??? It will be just like Africa where they butcher people for the fun of it, now in a 'PERFECT WORLD' that they picture in whats left of their brains I hope they are the first to find out. Now load up on bullet's to protect yourself from out Home Land Security, obama's KGB, that will come to be in the near future.
sorry, you wrong!! the good guys will have only knives, pitchforks and etc to defend themselves! the bad guys still will have guns guaranteed!! drugs and automatic weapons are illegal but, if u want to break the law, which the good innocent people don't want to, the bad guys will and get these whenever they want to!! you see, good guys no guns, the bad guys all the guns they want!!!
Mary is he problem get her out of there. We keep voting her in year in and year out. Without her vote there is no health care,
gi specks and reds, most definetely, without a shadow of a doubt, ole drew-b, he aint changed nare one bit!!!! if u dont like whats on tv, dont watch it, just change the channel, if u cant figure that out on your own!!! QUIT HIJACKING PETES POST!! i dont think u are a narrator on this site anyway!!! if they think its wrong, i am sure they will say something, they are in charge, not YOU DREW!!!
The Real Outlaws will still have there.... 'THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS'........Its not nothing bout Guns killin People its People Killin People, And they worried about automatic weapons???....Ummmm they better worry about the guy w/ the 300 Mag!!!!
we, the hard working tax paying middle class people, dont keep voting her in, its the other people, just like the other people, that voted obummer back in!!!! aint this so sad!!! we can kiss our country good-bye!!!
When and if, they put this into play it's just the first step closer to controlling your gun rights. For the people with a class 3 arms license ,that can get an automatic legally, it will probably effect them right away since they really wanna target automatics being traded globally. For the bad guys only huh? I don't think so!! It's to disarm the people each government is robbing!! What's next though? Higher taxes on weapons as a whole? I do believe we will feel the heat as the importers of weapons do. this is just testing the water to see what the future holds for the ussa! It's going to snowball down to the common man along with more and more restrictions to actually take our guns,ammo,gunpowder and reloading equipment obsolete to civilians. Obamas looking to bring us down ,equalize the country ,then hand the reigns to the UN. I'm just like the rest of you guys, they'll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers!! FOR THE GUYS WHO KEEP SAYING 'THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL PAGE' Us sportsman confide in each other on topics because we're true Americans still. Ones with common sense that all relate to the true American ways. Knowing our voices and opinions arent in vain when talking to one another. Just cause you don't like doesn't mean it's wrong for associating with your fellow sportsman on ANY SUBJECT. Get over it !
so what, no reports, just enjoy reading everybody elses reports, rumors been around for years, what r u talking about for years fuul??? u r him for sure no doubt, never will change my mind!!! wasnt man enuf to take the heat from everyone and had to try 2 hide like a lil girl and it didnt work, will never!!! have a gud nite, DREW????
like u always do, ariund for years, its actually around for years and what do u mean exactly, just trying to improve your education, dont have to thank me!!! no problem, always willing to help!!!
drew, u said that b 4 and aint held no water ever lil girl!!! why dont u be a man about it and admit it, u couldnt hang, with all the bashing u got and had 2 go into hiding and change your name, so u could still post on here!!!
would u explain FROOT LOOPS PLEASE, r nor if u cant?? MOTORBOAT?????
pete i would like to apoligize 2 you for drew-b hijacking your post cause he is a lil girl-guy and a great obummer fan!!!
Your security team from Florida is not too good if you think I'm Drew-B and/or GIpsecks. What they will discover is that you are a completely paranoid looney toon. The evidence is all over the internet to prove it.
Thanks for playing, though.
Drew im appalled you are an Obamano fan, i would have thought with your wealth of knowledge and education, you of all people could past his bs. Whether its true or not, we all know gun and ammo prices will go up exponentially as it did in 2008. I had to sell my SKS because it was too much money to shoot for a college kid. In just two days (November 7-8) Smith & Wesson stock went up by by 10%. People are scared, and its about time they start realizing what can and WILL happen.
Motorboat is all over , he told me he was a jug line captain .. Now he works for LSM ?? Movin on up huh drew ? Lol
Gispecks if anything is childish it's you with all of these aliases ! C'mon man , it's ridiculous ! Just go back to your old name drewb ...
Perhaps some perspective? It's a real Reuters article and a legitimate news story. The snopes link is: http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/untreaty.asp . The truth is probably somewhere in between, but I find the *legitimate* news story alarming. GI is not someone else, let him be.
I'll get out of the way now, getting ready for the next fishing trip and enjoy cleaning my fish next to duck hunters. Life is good.
It doesn't matter to me who you are or want to be just a lil psychotic to have so many aliases . Weird if you asked me ...
I am so confused at the moment. Wheres the Admiral when you need him? I'd rather an analogy to ponder about than all of this non sense. This is turning into a 9th grade cheerleaders locker room.
you not only have oabama for four more years, you will have hillary clinton for 12 after that!!
GI Specks and Reds: I hadn't checked the Forum in several days and was unaware of all this back and forth discussion related to the Reuters newspaper article I posted. First, if you believe 'Snopes', you really shouldn't! It is a man and woman 'Mom and Pops' operation which I am told is funded by far left liberal loons. I just did a search on 'Truth or Fiction' (http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/u/UN-Arms-Treaty.htm) and they say the story is 'True and Yet Unproven'.
First, I didn't make up this story. It is in the national news from Reuters. Do you really believe Reuters would publish an article without researching it's accuracy? I just copied and pasted it with the link to the full article. If you really don't believe that Obama will try to restrict our gun rights, all I can tell you is 'WAIT'! What he is doing to our Country borders on what Hitler did in the 1930's. I have a fishing friend whose wife is German. I visited them last year and she told me over coffee that she was a young girl when Hitler came to power in Germany. She said what she sees Obama doing now to our Country is exactly what Hitler did in Germany when he came to power.
All dictators in modern times achieved power over the countries they controlled by taking away private ownership of guns.......Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, Russia, China, Japan, Cuba and Hugo Chavez in Venezeula. In fact, after WWII, Japanese General Yamamoto acknowledged that Japan considered invading the US, but decided not to because they knew that every home in America was armed. The Swiss actually provide a weapon to each household in Switzerland and gun owners are required to attend government provided training on it's use annually. And, the murder rate in Switzerland is ZERO!
Look at the cover up Obama's Administration did on the 'Fast and Furious' issue! This was found to be a program to supply automatic weapons to illegals to later build a case for gun control. That came out under testimony before a Congressional Investigation Committee headed by Congressman Issac. That issue is to date still not resolved and Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder has a lawsuit against him for witholding evidence. After the Investigation Committee subpoened Holder for other information, Obama immediately declared the information Congressman requested as 'classified'! Just what do you think this tells you? I don't trust Obama any further than I could throw him.
If you think he does not have an interest in finding a way to bypass the 2nd amendment or in someway restrict our gun rights, then I really believe you're in for a 'rude awakening' sir. And, for your information, I DON'T EAT 'Fruit Loops' either.
Hold up a bit folks. America was here long before the likes of obama and America will be here long after he's gone. We have had both good and bad POTUS's and We all know that the government has been corrupt since the days of Davey Crocket trying to convince congress to reach in their own pockets to give to charity. America has always survived because of the people who know whats right and wrong. You have to stand up for what you believe in. If not then evil takes over. The only way you lose your gun is if you release your grip. To me, that's from my cold dead hand. This UN treaty only stops import and export of small arms. It says nothing about going door to door...and it never will. No country(even America) in their right mind will ever dare to enter our homes and try to disarm us. And no matter how much the Constitution is trampled on, it will still remain as it has always been. Liberty has to be washed with the blood of patriots from time to time. I am an American and my God given rights will not be infringed. I would rather die fighting as a free man then to have someone tell me how to live my life. MOLON LABE!!
'Eaux Dee', and to all readers of this thread, for those of you who don't believe that America could be turned into a Socialist Country like Hugo Chavez did to Venezeula, keep in mind that with another 4 year term, Obama will likely have to appoint 3 and maybe 4 new Supreme Court Judges. Do you really believe that he will appoint conservative judges to the court? The existing liberal judges on the court have consistently tried to 'make the law' rather than interpret the law. When they have a majority of liberal judges on the court, for lifetime terms, I'm very afraid that our Country as 'we knew it' will never be the same again. And, what's to stop Obama after this second 4 year term, decide that he can again run for a third term? If challenged in the courts, remember that he will now 'Own the Supreme Court'.
Then you see in the news the scandals in the highest level of the Military at 4 star general levels, the media helping Obama cover up the death of our Ambassador, 2 former Navy Seals and another American in the Benghazi Libyan consulate, things are going from bad to worse. General Petraeus was to testify before a Congressional Committee trying to get to the bottom of the Benghazi scandal, but that is now postponed. Has anyone ever seen the mess our Country is in now before, except for perhaps the 'Great Depression'? Our Country is more divided than ever in our Country's history.
When you see that 20 States are seeking to secede from the Union, Louisiana being the first to start this petition, and when you see the stock of gun maker Smith & Wesson rise by 10% the day after Obama was re-elected when the stock market dropped over 300 points, I would have to conclude that people are SCARED of what Obama will do with 4 more years. Be your own judge.......I too am scared.
GI, some of us have an open mind and willing to discuss intelligently. I haven't attacked you. However, you're not making much of a case without providing any data, facts, or weblinks. Just saying its been floating around for years is not much of an argument.
If the article had been from, for example, Fox News, I would have thrown it out. But Reuters is a respected news organization. I also provided the snopes link for the other viewpoint. Some of us lean to the right, but are willing to listen to other viewpoints. Our country used to be that way.
Thanks GI for trying to interject some reason into this topic. Unfortunately, your logical arguments are, once again, falling on deaf ears. I honestly don't think that a single person, including Cajun Pete, actually read the linked article. The article clearly states that even if the treaty passes, it would not apply to legitimate gun sales and would not infringe upon each individual sovereign nation's gun laws.
Even if you buy into the childish theories about our President being a socialist, or trying to take away our gun rights pursuant to this treaty, you should find great comfort in the following: 1.) A treaty cannot supersede the US Constitution (ie, the 2nd amendment can not be changed by treaty.) 2.) The president solely cannot bind the US to a treaty. (See US Constitution Article II, Sec. 2, Paragraph 2 requiring consent of 2/3 of the Senate.)
This email has been circulating for years in various forms. The intent is clear - to scare the uninformed (or weak-minded)into believing that someone is coming for their guns. This is straight out of the playbook of the NRA. They are essentially a group of con artist preying on well intentioned US patriots.
First, I'm not anyone but myself. I rarely post but this story is true. While treaties don't supplant constitutional law, this is just one more gimmick that allows your rights to be eroded. Immediately, it will make it much tougher for foreign gun makers to import guns into the US. I'm not saying this will be overnight but if you don't believe a large plurality of the left thinks that if gun ownership is curtailed there will be less crime in the US you are seriously naive. There is a more extreme thread in the left side of American politics that want guns to be outlawed. I know the NRA uses some histrionic arguments but there are many on the left that are being completely disingenuous of their true intentions.
...who knows what lies in the hearts of evil men...only'da Shadow knows !!!...cheers
wake up man you and gi!!!! these politicians can do whatever they want to, all they got to do is vote and if it passes, it becomes law!!! where u been all yur life man???
This latest article on the UN Arms Treaty issue is from 'Amnesty International'. The article is dated November 7, 2012.
'A historic treaty to regulate the global arms trade has won the backing of an overwhelming majority of states in a move Amnesty International called a potential victory for human rights worldwide.
In the biggest show of support so far, 157 states at the UN General Assemblys First Committee on Disarmament in New York voted on Wednesday in favour of finalizing the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) next March'.
Here is the link to the full article:
The momentum on gun control is growing folks. Now, the liberal 'New York Times' is urging Obummer to pass gun control. Remember, this is the President in his first term, that if he couldn't get Congress to vote his way, used Executive Orders over and over to get his way, even bypassing current laws. Will he do it again? I wouldn't bet against it.
Surprise! NY Times Pushes Obama On Gun Control
25 November 2012
This is what the NY Times editorial board runs with the day after Thanksgiving, cause its a super duper most important issue, unlike America being broke, facing the fiscal cliff, a stagnant economy, Iran, post-Sandy cleanup, housing still in the dumps, etc
(Read full article here: http://minutemennews.com/2012/11/surprise-ny-times-pushes-obama-on-gun-control/ )
new york times, what a useless joke, just like obummer, i guess he controls them also!!!!!
If you have not read this article, you REALLY SHOULD! In PARTICULAR, read the last two (2) paragraphs VERY CAREFULLY. Obama has learned that he can bypass the US House and Senate in cancelling our 2nd Amendment rights of private gun ownership by signing a UN Arms Treaty. Will he do it? I don't trust this man any father than I could throw him.
Overwhelming demand crashes FBI background check center
Paul Joseph Watson
November 27, 2012
(Link to story: http://www.infowars.com/black-friday-gun-sales-hit-new-record-high/ )
Black Friday gun sales hit an all time record high last week with demand for new firearms so overwhelming that it caused outages at the FBI background check center on two separate occasions.
Fueled by fears that the Obama administration will go after gun rights during a lame duck term, the FBI reported 154,873 background check requests on Friday a 20 per cent increase on last years record total of 129,166 checks.
The number of guns sold could actually be double or more that figure because only one background check is recorded per sale even if buyers purchase multiple firearms.
With the recent election, some people are making buying decisions just in case something (new law) happens, Don Gallardo, manager of Shooters World in Phoenix, told USA Today.
Gun stores noted that first time gun owners and women represented a significant number of those purchasing firearms on Black Friday.
Gun sales were so brisk that the FBIs Instant Background Check center was overwhelmed with the volume of requests and crashed on two separate occasions. Some even saw the outages as an insidious way of providing anti-gunners a clue about how to suspend the Second Amendment.
President Obama indicated during the presidential debates that he would pursue an assault weapons ban, which second amendment activists see as merely the first step towards wider gun control regulation.
Obama also indicated that he would attempt to eviscerate the right to keep and bear arms during a White House meeting with gun control advocate Sarah Brady last year. During the meeting, Obama told Brady he was working under the radar on new gun control policy. Brady added that Obama assured her gun control was very much on his agenda.
But its not just Obamas conduct on the domestic front that has second amendment activists concerned. The Obama administrations willingness to sign up to a United Nations global arms treaty which threatens to outlaw guns in the U.S. is also driving firearms sales.
Final discussions on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) are set to take place in March next year. The New American notes that, Section III, Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Programme of Action mandate that if a member state cannot get rid of privately owned small arms legislatively, then the control of customs, police, intelligence, and arms control will be placed under the power of a board of UN bureaucrats operating out of the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs, opening the door to UN peacekeeping forces to disarm American citizens.

• Karatbars has a solution to the "Global Debt, Savings and Currency Crisis" for the individual, thatmeans you and your household.
• No one has to spend any money with Karatbars and you still get paid a commission by helping others save!
• You get paid by helping others upgrade their money into the best form of money, "GoldMoney"
• As money moves, you get paid, when it moves into savings (not spending), you get paid.
• Are you currently getting paid by the movement of money in the economy?
• Karatbars International's product is money, and everyone needs money.
• There is no better time than "Now O'clock" to start a savings plan into Gold and start earning additional income!
• Gold is gold, everyone wants it. From natives in the Amazon Jungle, to the Ancient Egyptians everyone has valued Gold in history.
• Now Gold is within your reach, in a transaction friendly size, that you can save every week and every month!
• Given enough time, you can simply make money through the value of Gold going up.
Questions to Ask Yourself Right Now!
• Would you prefer to have all of your money only in paper money, or would you prefer to link some of your money to real money, Gold Money, which has been money for over 5,000 years?
• Would you prefer to buy more in the future with the money you have now, or less in the future?
• Where would you be today, if you had regularly saved into Gold over the last 10 years (when it was US$300 to US400 per ounce back in 2003), up until now?
• Where would you like to be with your savings plan in 5 to 10 years time?
• If you had $1,500 now, and you put it in a safe for 10 years, would you put away cash (paper money) or real gold?
• Did you realize Gold is up +300% since 2003, even after its fall in 2012 and 2013, whereas your paper money is at least 20% down in spending power, since 2003.
• Do you really think Governments and Central Banks can now stop printing money? Will they really do the unpopular thing and reduce spending and tighten the money supply?
• Do you have control of your money, or do you have to call someone? With Karatbars you control your money!
• Are you currently paying yourself first by saving, before all your money slips through your fingers before the end of each month?
• Where else can you earn residual monthly income, just from helping people save their money on a regular basis?
• Where else can you earn money, save money and get a great financial education at the same time?
• Do you want to act now, or panic later like many people will?
• Many people wonder, "When is the best time to buy Gold"? The answer is: "The best time to do the right thing, is all the time"!
Did You Know:
• That every paper currency in history that was not backed by silver or gold, has eventually gone to zero.
• That since 1969, Gold has outperformed every other asset class. Wouldn't you prefer to have some in your family now?
• That Karatbars are certified in 3 ways for your protection, with a:i) Hologram, ii) Serial Number & iii) LBMA Stamp
• That Karatbars are "currency" grade gold. By currency grade, Karatbars are:i) Certified by the LBMA and ii) On the "London Good Delivery List".
• That Savings rates are very low in many Western Countries, e. g. 3.6% in the US, Canada 3.5% & Australia 2.5%. Where do you stand in all of this? Do you have a savings plan?
• That Germany has seen 3 currency crises in the last 100 years? The Founder of Karatbars,Harold Seiz was deeply moved about providing an alternative to protect people from its effects in the future, should it happen again.
• That Karatbars really connects the consumer to the refinery?
• That Gold is the friend of freedom. Paper currencies are debt based and lead to financial slavery.

Foles impressed by the Pokes
by Brandon Chatmon
Follow me on Twitter @BChatmon
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles is impressed by what he's seen from Oklahoma State's defense. In his preparation for the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29 against the Cowboys, Foles has seen the plenty of game film while trying to prepare for OSU's defense.
"One thing I've noticed about Oklahoma State is they're a very athletic team," Foles said. "They're fast, quick and they're an athletic team. It's going to be a really fun game to play and I'm really excited about it."
Slowing Foles and receiver Juron Criner will be a key for the Cowboys defense. Criner has 74 receptions for 1,197 yards and 10 touchdowns this season earning All-Pac 10 honors.

Ease of Use
Used Effexor 10 years ago, then no insurance, switched to Prozac. Now on Medicare (disabled), back to Venlafaxine for 7 years. My current dose is 450 mg per day. That's right. One 150mg pill in the morning, two at night. Upped to 450 after depression got bad again. Now I rarely sleep, but would give up my right arm if I could.

I think this medication should be outlawed. The side effects of withdrawals are really scary...dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, memory loss, confusion, anxiety...I believe this is designed for one to be on for the remainder of their life.

This medication did help with my depression and anxiety greatly. But I suffered from the majority of the listed side effects. So much so that I could not tolerate it any longer.

The Department is responsible for the provision of anaesthetic services to four operating theatres and the interventional MRI operating suite. In addition, the department also provides anaesthetic support for the Neuroradiology Department. The total caseload for 2014, including emergencies, exceeded 5,400 cases. The department now has eighteen substantive consultant anaesthetists.
Consultant anaesthetists are responsible for both the Surgical and Medical Intensive Care Units as well as having a major input into the Pain Management Unit. The department also leads the Acute Pain Service, an important facet of anaesthetic practice. The department also has responsibility for the critical care outreach team which allows continuing care when patients are discharged from the Intensive Care Units to the general wards. Similarly, the tracheostomy team, which includes physiotherapists, anaesthetists and speech and language therapists has revolutionised the care of patients with airway problems. The recently established Neuromuscular Complex Care Centre also receives anaesthetic input.
Education is a fundamental role of the department. In addition to providing core training in all aspects of neuroanaesthetic and neurocritical care practice for anaesthetists, additional training for those who wish to pursue a career in neuroanaesthesia is ensured by the provision of five Clinical Fellow posts (which are popular and keenly contested).

We were referred to this campground by another campground which was full. We pulled into this place and should have pulled out, but we were tired. The campground is old and not taken care of, the bathrooms and showers were bad. Our septic line backed up and we had we had to dump at another site. The park caters to monthly, but most the rigs were clean. This park is still a pretty park, grassy and shady, just run down and dirty. Due to recent flooding (which had not reached the park) the water was not fit to drink, luckily it did not leave a stain. This place was way over priced, don't bother stopping. - 10-10

REVIEW of the iOptron SmartStar A "cube" MOUNT
Posted 18 March 2012 - 05:39 AM

Posted 09 December 2014 - 06:37 PM
Edited by TJR, 09 December 2014 - 06:43 PM.
Posted 13 December 2014 - 04:25 AM
I purchased my SmartStar A Series cube about 5 years ago. For all the reasons listed in this article I hated the tripod. Too short and on the flimsy side for sure. I like viewing in a standing-position and do not like to crouch over to view, especially anything near the zenith. Now I only use the cube in the Alt-Az mode. What I did notice right away was the mounting bolt that couples the cube to the tripod was very similar in size to a 3/8"-16. I immediately tapped out the female thread on the bottom of the cube to a standard 3/8"-16 tread. I have since been mounting this to a Slik Pro 700DX photo tripod which has a 15 lb payload rating. The two scopes I have that I use this for is a Celestron C5 spotting scope (6 lbs) and an Explorer Scientific 80mm triplet (7 1/2 lbs). So along with the 4 lb weight of the cube itself, the tripod handles it nicely. I'm 5'11" so by adjusting the height of the center column this allows me to view standing for any position in the sky. Of course there are many photo tripods out there with similar or higher payload ratings. I just happened to have two of these tripods on hand.

Regarding the mods described in this article, does the replacement washer have to be nylon too? Does the washer need to be larger in diameter or thickness?

Where's the party tonight?! On Nach Baliye!
Friday night's episode had 'Club Mixes' as the theme; so one could expect the episode full of fun, masti, excitement and fireworks! About the dancing, like Vaibhavi said..it should be a 'stage-tod performance'..strong enough to compel her or anyone to get up and dance!
The 'Club Mixes' round introduced another new concept on the show - that of an 'Energy-Meter' that rated the jodi's energy levels as 'thanda', 'theek-thaak' & 'garma-garam'.
The episode began with Kushal Punjabi & Rucha Gujrathi's performance to the foot-thomping current hit, 'Mauja Mauja' from the film Jab We Met, which incidently was also the sub-theme of the episode. All the jodi's presented their 'jab we met' stories and let in onto some really sweet moments. The first performance of the evening was from the 'hot' couple, Pooja-Hanif. After having scored 100% in their previous round, expectations soared high! Pooja-Hanif were good..but could have been better. In comparison to their garma-garam performance in last week's 'Touch Baliye' round..this week was just about theek-thaak. Next came Karan-Kavita.. Theirs was a 'mice-dancing-at-club-shutdown' concept..and the thought that must have crossed a lot of minds was 'what were they thinking?!' Quite a disappointing performance from the duo and naturally, a performance that did not go down too well with the judges, hence some not-so-good comments and low scores. Kashmera-Krushna followed with a theek-thaak performance..definitely not worth a score of 27! Does Krushna's Govinda connection work for him??
Aamir-Sanjeeda's performance, once again found favour amongst the judges. David Dhawan">David Dhawan commented that Sanjeeda reminds him of Karisma Kapoor from his movies..which left Sanjeeda ecstatic! Vaibhavi had complaints with Aamir for not exuding as much energy as required for the song! But in no way does it take away from their performance..which was, once again, fantastic! Even Vaibhavi took to the dance floor and showed some of her moves! Sweta-Alex gave, yet another consistent performance..though ofcourse, unfortunately, Sweta's shoe came off mid-way! But fortunately for her, she held on and continued dancing..which in turn, left the judges impressed. Sweta-Alex, once again, managed to take home some decent scores!
Last but not the least.. Rakhi 'Hunterwali' Sawant & Abhishek Awasthi! Yet again, this couple proved, why they are a force to reckon with! One amazing performance after another that leaves the judges & audience, spellbound! Needless to say, they got the perfect scores! And their choreographer, Pratap Shetty, was adjudged the 'Choreographer of the Day'! Truly deserving!
The elimination episode was dedicated to the 'Jab We Met' stars, the once-upon-a-time couple - Shahid & Kareena, who were on set to promote their film. Both the stars (apparently) had watched the performances of the previous day and expressed their opinions on the jodi's performances. Up next was Amrita Arora's wonderful performance and some fun moments with 'rate-the-handsome-hunk' contest, that had the female judges rate the male contestants. And who won? Karan Grover!
After all the fun & frolic, it was time to announce the eliminated jodi! While Shahid & Kareena announced the jodi's in the safe zone..the onus of announcing the jodi eliminated, was on Vaibhavi Merchant. And the eliminated jodi was - Karan-Kavita! Sad, but an expected elimination..as their performances were not upto the mark which resulted in continous low scores! Karan-Kavita took their elimination very graciously..with a smile on their faces!

I am a dental assistant so I know most of the ones in the state. There is a pedi practice right in Cumberland that I interned at... Dr's Chan and Goodman, I would say DON'T go there!! It was a circus. I don't know how far you are willing to travel, I know of a great one in East Greenwich. Feel free to message me, I can try to point you in the right direction.
Posted 01/16/2013
We go to Dr Lewis in Coventry. They also have an office in EG. I know that's a hike for you, but they have been really great with my oldest when he was so nervous about going. Very kid friendly, TVs on the ceilings etc.
It's funny because I actually travel to Woonsocket for my dentist. They do kids too, but he seems more relaxed at the Pediatric one.

For those interested, we're going to get topic splitting/merging soon, and the ability to add polls to posts. This is a good thing. Should work better on touchscreens too, according to the forum software devs: http://simple-press.com/5-1-st.....-update-5/

No idea where this should go but it fits here so there here it is.
No idea if its been reported elsewhere but the quote thingy isnt working properly in places, just lumps everything together without actually highlighting that its a quote. Done it manually when replying in the Let It Be thread.

EDIT - does that look wrong to you? It has a box around the quoted text - seems clear enough to me.
1 May 2011
That one worked fine. Its seemed to be in relation to certain posters and trying to quote them, Into The Sky's posts were the main casualty of this. It seems to be an irregular error and i have no idea how it could be replicated and repaired - if it hasnt been already.
Thanks for your work in all of these bits and pieces of the site Joe.
I'll have a look and see if I can fix it. Not sure what the problem is though.
EDIT - there's now a preview function in the edit screen, so you can check how something looks before publishing it. Hope it's useful.
I discovered I could create sub-forums, so I've made them for each of the key albums, plus the Anthologies, Love and Live At The BBC. It'll hopefully save anyone creating any more of those "what's your favourite song on x album" threads, of which there are many.
I can create more sub-forums if people think they'd be useful, for example each of John/Paul/George/Ringo's solo albums. I'm not sure whether it'd be useful though.
I don't to overload the forum with sub-sections because it might become harder to navigate (for example if there were a sub-forum for every Beatles song), but I'm all in favour of making things work in a more navigable way. Let me know what you think.
1 December 2009
Nice idea, Joe.
Who'd have thought there'd be more threads dedicated to "Love" than to any other non-SPLHCB album?!
I remember George saying 'Blimey, he's always talking about "Yesterday", you'd think he was Beethoven or somebody' - Paul McCartney
I had to re-enable the spam filter as we were getting quite a few rogue registrations. It sometimes catches false positives - ie legitimate messages are sometimes held as spam. If this happens to you don't worry, I'll approve it as soon as I can (and sorry for the inconvenience).
On another thread, SatanHimself said:
Hell… It's 2013. He should be amazed that these forums still exist at all. These things are ghosts of the old internet.
It got me thinking about the way conversations online are happening. A lot of sites use social logins, and most people seem to have Facebook, Twitter etc accounts. So I've signed up with a third-party service that allows up to six different account logins for the forum, in addition to the normal registration/sign-in. So, more options to encourage people to join in.
The current services are Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Blogger, Google+ and Disqus (the last two might not be immediately invisible). That should cover most people.
It took a bit of head-scratching, and involved signing up for developer accounts, dealing with API keys etc. I've tested it with Twitter and it seems to work, but if you use the others and spot a problem please let me know.
Note that when you log in via Twitter, you have to authorise the Beatles Bible. It says: "This application will be able to:
- Read Tweets from your timeline.
- See who you follow, and follow new people.
- Update your profile.
- Post Tweets for you."
As far as I can tell this is a formality, and nothing will get posted/read that you don't do yourself. But *please* let me know if anything looks dodgy. I really don't want to piss people off by doing anything unwanted.
16 August 2012
Check you out, Joe... Impressive.
I appreciate that you didn't take my comment as an insult. These types of forums really are a throwback to pre-2003 internet, so it's nice that you're aware that linking them to newer social-media sites is important to keep them relevant.
I know it's a different platform (and I'm not too knowledgeable about this sort of thing) but if there was any way to integrate with Tumblr at all, that would be my focus.
I can only add six login options, so I don't know what I'd lose. I did think about adding Tumblr, but it seems like more of a blogging platform, whereas the others (apart from Blogger, obviously) are more about engagement and interaction. Obviously if the demand is there I can swap things around. It's more worth me focusing on the logins/IDs that people are happy to carry around from site to site.
Nah, no insult taken. I got the point you were making. Message boards have been around for ages, but they still have life in them. You only need to look at a site like Reddit to see the demand's still there if the community is good enough.
29 September 2010
OK, I removed the third-party login options, as it didn't work as seamlessly as I'd hoped (someone reported an issue with Yahoo! registration, and I couldn't troubleshoot it as I don't have a Yahoo! account).
If you'd already registered via a third-party site (FB, Twitter etc) and you're now locked out, send me a message via the Contact page (there's a link at the bottom of every page).
New mods!
I thought I'd shake things around a bit here as skye and mithveaen tend not to post so much nowadays. I drop by every couple of days but I've become aware that Zig's essentially been doing all the moderation on his own.
I'm glad to say mja6758 and fabfouremily have kindly agreed to become mods. As before, there aren't too many forum rules, but having a couple of extra people means they can edit, delete or move anything that shouldn't have been posted.
For everyone, if you see any spam, just report the post and I'll deal with it. If I see it I can zap the account and/or block the IP address.
Thanks to Mith, Skye, and of course Zig. Virtual handshakes to mja and ffe.

We will serve to the best of our abilities, and hopefully take some of your and Zig's load!

Nice to be able to share some of the load and responsibilities - it's not fair on Zig if he has to keep an eye on everything when you can't be around that much, Joe. I don't have a full-time job nor children so, lucky for me, I can come on here fairly regularly.

We will serve to the best of our abilities, and hopefully take some of your and Zig's load!
Just got to get the head around it, there's now something at the top of my page telling me there are 652 posts in the admin postbag that need removal! Oh well, a learning process!
You'd better get busy removing them, new guy!
Actually, you don't need to do anything about that at all.

Nice to be able to share some of the load and responsibilities - it's not fair on Zig if he has to keep an eye on everything when you can't be around that much, Joe. I don't have a full-time job nor children so, lucky for me, I can come on here fairly regularly.
Yeah, I don't get to log on as often as I would like...something about life getting in the way of other plans or some such.
I've told both mja an ffe via PM how happy I am about this. The Forum always has been, and will now remain, in good hands.

Peavey Announces David Ellefson Signature Series
Peavey has announced the Zodiac DE Scorpio, the first signature-model bass guitar in the Zodiac Series. Designed with veteran metal bassist David Ellefson (ex-MEGADETH, currently in F5), Peavey Zodiac DE bass guitars are solid rock basses featuring both J-style and P-style pickups.
"I wanted to create a bass that incorporates the best sound qualities of a traditional instrument but also has cutting-edge features designed for modern players," says Ellefson. "My technique and playing style have always demanded more from a bass guitar to really capture the power and depth of my music. The Zodiac DE brings those elements together in one powerhouse instrument."
In the celebrated Peavey tradition, Zodiac basses combine sought-after features with the road-worthy durability required by serious rock players. Like other basses in the Zodiac Series, the David Ellefson signature model — named Scorpio after Ellefson's sign in the astrological zodiac — is built using a solid alder body with sculpted front and back contours and equipped with an articulating bridge with machined saddles. The Scorpio is also outfitted to his specs, including custom Seymour Duncan pickups, a gloss-black finish and a mirrored pickguard.
"Rock n' roll is about constant reinvention and taking things to new extremes, and the Zodiac DE reflects my passion for that lifestyle," adds Ellefson. "I like the bass to be heard as well as felt through the music, and after all, what good is a fancy bass if you can't hear it?"
Zodiac DE Scorpio basses feature one P-style and one J-style pickup, with two master volume controls and one master tone control for shaping the Zodiac sound. Other features include an 8" radius maple neck so players can work into the 21-fret rosewood fingerboard in comfort, plus all-chrome hardware; butterfly tuners; and a Switchcraft jack.
The Peavey Zodiac DE Scorpio bass guitar will be available from authorized Peavey retailers in Q1 2006.

Megadeth Drummer Undergoes Surgery
Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover has posted the following message at the band's official forum:
"I returned home from Toronto a few days ago, in which Glen (Drover - guitar) and myself attended the Toronto Music Expo - It was nice to see the droogs who did attend this event, as well as seeing my Canadian Pearl Drums rep, Redge, who was at the show helping Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy drummer) who had a drum seminar at the show. For those who are not aware of Flo's drumming, this dude is 1 of the sickest, fastest Death metal drummers on planet earth (in my humble opinion). Anyways, it was cool talking to him for a bit as well.
Omnium Gatherum Post Megadeth, Death Covers
Finnish death metallers OMNIUM GATHERUM have uploaded their covers of MEGADETH's "Hangar 18" and DEATH's "Suicide Machine" on their MySpace.com page.
OMNIUM GATHERUM's latest album "Years in Waste", was released in the U.S. in March via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2003's "Spirits and August Light" was recorded at Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki, Finland with producer Nino Laurenne and engineer Teemu Aalto.
Megadeth Guitarist 'Putting Ideas On Tape'
MEGADETH guitarist Glen Drover (also in EIDOLON) has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's web site:
"I just wanted to say hi to all and hope you are doing well. I am enjoying this break at home, but I am staying pretty busy. Shawn [Drover, MEGADETH/EIDOLON drummer] will be here tomorrow, so we will be putting his ideas to tape here in my studio. I will probably put a few of my ideas down as well. We'll most likely be sending it off to Dave [Mustaine] sometime next week or so. The two of us have not been in the studio for well over one year, so this will be fun.
"We will also be appearing at the Toronto Music Expo this coming Saturday, from 12-1PM at the Long and Mcquade booth. I went to this show last year, so I know firsthand that this will be a cool thing to be a part of. I always enjoy looking at what new equipment is coming out."
Firewind Working With New Vocalist
FIREWIND, the Greek power metal act led by guitarist Gus G. (DREAM EVIL, ARCH ENEMY), have posted the following message on their official web site:
"As many of you know by now from other online sources, Chity Somapala [vocals] has decided to leave FIREWIND due to 'personal reasons.' But this doesn't mean that FIREWIND stops right here! We're already working with an incredible new vocalist and have eight brand new songs that kick ass!!
"Due to Chity's sudden departure, our plans for an extensive European tour this fall had to be cancelled. But we will be back on the road as soon as the new album is completed.
Although nothing's confirmed by now, we're looking at entering the studio in late January/early February 2006.
"More details and new singer info to follow soon."
FIREWIND's third album, "Forged by Fire", received its long-overdue U.S. release in July via Magick Records (a division of Cleopatra Records).
Somapala originally joined FIREWIND in early 2004 as the replacement for Stephen Fredrick. Chity appeared on "Forged by Fire", which was produced by band leader/guitarist Gus G. and mixed by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden. Guest musicians on the album included former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman and ex-TESTAMENT/DEATH axeman James Murphy.
Gus G. recently toured with ARCH ENEMY on Ozzfest 2005 as the group's touring guitarist after Christoper Amott bowed out of that band in order to "fully concentrate on his studies at home in Sweden," according to ARCH ENEMY axeman Michael Amott.
MacDonough: New Album Will 'Kick Some Major Butt"
MEGADETH bassist James MacDonough (ex-ICED EARTH) has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:
"We all fly home today of course to be with our families, leaving the Killing Road for a bit. We have a huge family of Droogs all around the world.
"Like I said in my previous post, this has been an awesome tour and a truly amazing experience. Now it's time to regroup and get ready for the next endeavor, this next album will kick some major butt. A new MEGADETH with the old sincerity.
"THANKS again my friends. I'll catch up in a couple of weeks with many new pics for you to check out, spanning the last few months or so.
"Stay metal and be safe!"
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine announced at the conclusion of the band's headlining performance in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 9 that the group's current lineup — which includes MacDonough, drummer Shawn Drover (EIDOLON) and guitarist Glen Drover (EIDOLON) — will continue to record and tour under the name MEGADETH.
MEGADETH have just completed a South American tour in support of "The System Has Failed", which came out in September 2004. The latest MEGADETH release, "Greatest Hits: Back to the Start" (Capitol), entered the Billboard chart at No. 65 and has sold 98,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Gigantour Report from Huntington, WV
After parking at the pay lot across the street we approach the Big Sandy Super Arena located on 3rd avenue of Huntington, West Virginia. The venue is lovingly referred to as the "civic center" by the locals. On the bricked walk way in front of the doors is a van, not any van but a van fully painted in the cover art of the new Bobaflex album, Apologize for Nothing. Impressive, flashy and showboating, but impressive none the less. This is home state for the band, so why not show off a little. We snap a couple of pictures of the van and we're off to the window to grab our tickets. I give the lady my name and who I'm on the list for, Bobaflex. She finds the envelope; she slides the package through the slot in the glass. I open the package, as promised my photo pass. Off to a good start to a good night. More...
Mustaine Decides Megadeth Will Continue
DAVE MUSTAINE made his announcement after a special version of "Coming Home" to the Argentinian crowd at the sold out show in Buenos Aires.
"I told you earlier tonight that I was gonna let all of you know first before the rest of the world what our decision was - whether or not we were gonna continue with MEGADETH or not," MUSTAINE said before playing a special rendition of "Coming Home", with the song's lyrics changed from the original "I'm coming home to Arizona" to "I'm coming home to Argentina." Immediately after the song, MUSTAINE said "The answer is yes." MEGADETH will continue as a band. MEGADETH will record a new album. MEGADETH will continue to play.
Dave Mustaine Posts Update From Chile
Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the forum section of the band's official web site: "Well, the Chilean show was fantastic! And except for the 500 people who rioted outside the venue, the 24 that got arrested, the wall that was pulled down and the car that was destroyed, everything went smooth as a baby's bottom."
"We are now in the VIP lounge at the Santiago Airport, getting ready to fly to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I can not tell you how excited I am to play here one more time. We are going to be filming this show as some of you may know, and visiting a lot of the city's sights and sounds.
"Tonight we are going to by far the best steakhouse in the world. My personal favorite — Happenings! And I have asked Glen [Drover, guitar] if he wants to go for a walk with me tomorrow or the next day to play some songs in the park outside our hotel. So if you see two Gringos with guitars singing heavy songs on acoustic (hehehe) you will know it is us.
"To all the beautiful people of Chile, I am glad I got to see you all once again. You are fabulous and we love you all."
K. King Says Slayer Never Got Sided Like Megadeth
U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine recently conducted an interview with SLAYER guitarist Kerry King. Several excerpts from the chat follow:
Metal Hammer: Shouldn't you be releasing a record soon? It's been four years since "God Hates Us All".
Kerry King: "It seems like everybody under the sun says, 'We want a new record,' but at the same time, they keep saying, 'We'd really like you to come back on tour.' That shit bumps everything on the backburner. The funny this is Dave [Lombardo, drums] and me have had a 10-song demo we did up at his house that's been lying around since March 2004. I know Jeff [Hanneman, guitar] has written a couple , and I've written a couple more since then, so this week we're going to start the process of getting back together and nailing this thing. With luck, we'll start recording by September. I'm hoping to work with Dave Sardy, who was with us for 'Undisputed Attitude'. Lombardo wants Rick Rubin for drums, and I've no problems with that because, in my opinion, it's what he's best at. But I think we're all pretty much agreed that the overall producer will be Sardy."
Metal Hammer: Is Lombardo back for keeps now?
Kerry King: "As far as I know, Dave is back in the band. It was 12 years we were apart, and that's 12 years of growing up for everybody. Actually, I think we're probably a better band because of it. It seems to me like Dave's having a great time, and I know he gets up in front of some of those 30,000 crowds and thinks, 'Man, this rocks!' he's playing better than he's ever played."
Metal Hammer: It's every metal geek's dream. The original, class-of-1982 SLAYER lineup reunited.
Kerry King: "Exactly. Having Dave back in the band is one of the highlights of my whole time in SLAYER. There are kids that could've been into us for over 10 years that never got to see us the way we are meant to be. I just saw ANTHRAX at one of those Euro festivals with Joey [Belladonna] — and I liked John Bush to death, y'know, he was a great singer — but something just happens when Joey plays. As for [JUDAS] PRIEST, when Ripper joined, I didn't see 'em once."
Metal Hammer: Having been around for almost a quarter of a century, what do you think SLAYER did right that the other pioneers of the thrash movement did wrong?
Kerry King: "Well, we never took time off from the thrash movement like METALLICA did. We didn't get sidetracked by pop music like MEGADETH did. We didn't lose our frontman like ANTHRAX did. I probably felt competition with those bands at the time thrash was taking off, but we always knew that none of those bands were better than us. We just went out and kept doing our thing."
Metal Hammer: What do you think went wrong for METALLICA?
Kerry King: "One word: 'Load'. But also, whenever you think enough of yourself to play with an orchestra, that's when you're too big. People say to us, 'When are you guys going to do that?' And I'm like, 'Never.'"
Metal Hammer: You've had your fair share of run-ins with MEGADETH over the years.
Kerry King: "People say, 'What's your problem with [Dave] Mustaine?' To which I say, 'Well, he's a cocksucker, for one thing.' But my problem with MEGADETH is, I don't know who that band is anymore. It's like the METALLICA thing. Who's METALLICA? Is METALLICA the band that did 'Master of Puppets' and 'Ride the Lightning', or is METALLICA the band who got to the point where they felt they could put out 'Load' and 'Reload'? It's lie, 'Who are you?'"
Metal Hammer: How long can you keep this up? It's hard to imagine SLAYER not being around.
Kerry King: "It's hard to put a time scale on it. I do know I can't do this for another 25 years. We're more of a physical band than a band like [BLACK] SABBATH, who can keep coming back. Tony [Iommi] is a great guitar player, but if you put a time-lapse camera on him, he'd probably move 10 feet the whole show. We can't be like that. If we had to come and do a show when I was 60, I'd probably bust a vertebra."
Gigantour Report From Vancouver, BC
I went to the Gigantour show at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC on September 9. Because I have been busy for the past little while, I haven't got the chance to get this done until now. As far as I know, the Montreal date has been filmed for the upcoming Gigantour DVD to feature Dream Theater and the Vancouver show was filmed for Anthrax.
Although originally scheduled to play, the Dillinger Escape Plan had to back out due to an injury suffered by guitarist Ben Weinman, which is a bit of a downer. On the bright side, DEP will be back in Vancouver in November. More...
Mustaine Makes Up His Mind On Megadeth's Future
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:
"I have made up my mind [regarding whether I will continue with MEGADETH or pursue a solo career] and will tell you all on the night of the Buenos Aires concert [on October 9]. It will be up to the fans in Argentina to break the news to you after their last song."
Mustaine recently parted ways with Sanctuary Records, the label that released three albums from MEGADETH, including 2004's critically acclaimed "The System Has Failed", which debuted at No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart. The latest MEGADETH release, "Greatest Hits: Back to the Start" (Capitol), entered the Billboard chart at No. 65 and has sold 92,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Megadeth Planning Something Special On DVD
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:
"Well, I am almost completely decompressed from the tour and have been very busy whilst at home. Besides my big buddy Lance Dean coming out here and helping me set up my studio in my home, and Richard Heyer helping me empty out my storage locker, I made a very interesting drive up the coast to meet with my manager and the good folks at BMI.
"Lemme clear up the studio bit and the selling of extra gear. I had two storage lockers of all the leftover gear I had once I retired and paid off all the creditors of MEGADETH back in 2002. I did not want anyone, at all, to lose a penny that they had been owed by MEGS, and there were a few people, so I sold off a lot of gear to pay them. Very bad looking on the outside, but you know me by now that I am a man of my word. Any of the gear that was left over that belonged to the previous members was either returned, or in the same way I just mentioned, sold to pay debtors. Also, I tried to help the ex-guys by sending them a lil scratch on the side if it was possible if they wanted the MEGADETH store to sell it.
"There is still a lot of stuff that I have accumulated over the years, and I doubt I need now, so in good spirit I wanted to let young bands that would like to get some stuff from me 'cheep' or for you collectors our there to pick up.
"As far as what kind of a new record to expect, well, don't! I still haven't made up my mind yet. And even though Gigantour 2 is being organized, that doesn't mean I will play on it, or that MEGADETH will. I would like to, mind you .
"Also, this last tour had a few hiccups with stress, timing, lack of coordination/cooperation, personnel changes, but nothing at all was caused by the talent that I was graciously accompanied by. I guess the most difficult thing was the platinum tickets. This is the first time we did this and probably the last because of the disorganization, and the complaints. However, there were many satisfied Droogies and She-Wolves and to you I say, 'thanks!'
"I have been in touch with the boys since I have been home and we are going to try to do something very special for the live DVD that we are making from Argentina, and I know the fans won't disappoint ya, I just hope I don't. We are going to try to play a song down there that I wrote specifically for Argentina, and do a lil word play on another song so that it works down there. I only wish that the entire world of MEGA-fans could be there this one night to celebrate this moment with us together.
"I plan on taking my fantastico crew to dinner at the best steak house in the planet, a place called 'Happenings' in Buenos Aires, but other than that, I am going to be spending as much time as humanly possible with the Droogs, filming and speaking very poor Spanglish.
"Lastly, I have gotten lists of bands from the boys that they like, and am comparing them with my notes, as well as doing research to see if they are available and if they would be a strong supporter for Gigantour 2. I am aware that all of these things start off slow, unless you have over a dozen bands, (which is too much for what I am trying to do) and so I thank everyone that came out for the maiden voyage. I intend on starting around the end of May and going through July. And in case MEGADETH plays again, and the possibility comes that we are offered a festival overseas during that time, we would just have to 'squeeeeeze it in.'
"It's great to see all of you in here mingling, making friends, settling arguments like the amazing Droogies that you are and not being dorks like a lot of communities are suffering from, but we know that we are very inviting and very kewl here. You simply are the best fans in the world and you make all of the new fans feel so welcome that it makes me wanna act like a new fan just to see if I am missing something.
"To all of the people, journos, photogs, radio, tv-video, and promo people that made 'The System Has Failed' such a fun record to tour, I will be indebted to you for the rest of my days. And we all know how important our webmaster and SLs are; you are the tip-top best!
"Love and bruises to you all!!!"
Glen Drover : Being In Megadeth Is A Thrill
VueWeekly.com recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH guitarist Glen Drover. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
On being in MEGADETH:
"Being in MEGADETH is a great thrill. It's amazing to be in a band that you grew up listening to. Even after all these shows it's not like that effect has worn off yet — it's still exciting."
On the challenges on playing with MEGADETH:
"It's challenging music, and that's what keeps it interesting. You definitely have to be on your toes, but that's part of the fun for me — it gets boring otherwise. All the guitar players are quite different from each other, so it's been quite challenging to try to emulate those solos and feels. I try to keep it pretty faithful to the album: I find most fans want to hear it like that and appreciate when you try to do it that way, and out of respect to them and to all the guitarists who have come before me I try to get as close as humanly possible to the original, although you have to allow your own personality into the music to a point, because otherwise you end up sounding like a robot."
"You're always going to be compared to people from the past, and there are some pretty big guns there — Marty Friedman, Chris Poland, all of them. Some people are really fond of a particular lineup, but I have to say it's been mostly positive. I'm stepping into a lot of big shoes, and for the most part people's reaction has been really great, which I've been really happy about."

Mustaine Says He Cant Wait For Gigantour 2
Well, I am back at home, have decompressed from the plane, celebrated my official birthday (thank you all for the wishes, gifts, cards, and emails), and am getting over a helluva bout with tour sickness. I don't know if it is something I got at the last show, or I was just sick all along and finally putting the Big Redheaded Machine into park has allowed it all to catch up with me.
"Anyway, as you know, MEGADETH put out 'The System Has Failed' in September of 2004 and after touring the world, excluding the last four remaining dates south of the equator it has been a tremendous success. Sure there were hard times with putting a band together, taking the painful barbs thrown by people who didn't think (or want) me to go on, dealing with guests that I could not spend the time I had wanted to be with them or that they had wanted to be with me and the ensuing problems that followed that, and lastly the constant sickness that followed the tour.
"Add to that the legal matters, like leaving Sanctuary, trying to get the Greatest Hits together, trying to get the DVD together containing all the old videos and threats from people not to be included or wrangling with other licensers to get permission to use the footage, and you see how this was a feat for me or anyone to pull off.
"But I did, and it would never have happened without your love and support, and undying encouragement. I will never forget this last year. Seeing all of you around the globe was a delight for me, but even more so to see my band meeting you all and how loved you made them feel.
"So, this thing called Gigantour was born at the last minute, and because of my relationship with bands that went out with me and MEGADETH, I feel we had a great time. In retrospect, there were a few things I would do differently, but not much. It was a sad day when we lost THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, and when the time came to say, 'So long' to DREAM THEATER and SYMPHONY X, and we were all disappointed with the DRY KILL LOGIC bus breaking down and not having them finish out the tour, but I believe they know how much I loved them and was grateful for all of their time we shared until we said goodbye.
"The last shows with ANTHRAX and the remaining Gigantour 2005 bands; FEAR FACTORY, NEVERMORE, LIFE OF AGONY, and BOBAFLEX came and went too fast. I have only the best things to say about these fine bands and wish them all tremendous amounts of success in the years to come. I also believe that if Gigantour continues on for as many years as I hoped that we will see them again. If not, I hope to grace a stage with them somewhere else in time again soon.
"Lastly, to you, the fans that came out to see the 'Blackmail The Universe' tour or Gigantour . . . what can I say other than you made my dream come true. I love you and am indebted to your faith in me, in the other bands that you may have been fans of and came out for, and importantly most just for supporting our scene. As I write this letter to you all we are already starting the necessary work to make Gigantour 2006 competitive with the inaugural run, and I hope to make even more friends out on the 'Killing Road' with people like yourselves, and the bands that stood by me. Check back in every once in a while to see when I announce the next Gigantour, the next year's talent, and when and where you can see us again.
"I usually close concerts with, 'You've been great, we've been MEGADETH, goodnight!' but that just doesn't seem right today. I think that you've been more than great and we've all been MEGADETH! Time will crawl for me until I can see your faces again and deliver the goods to my North American friends.
"I love you my Droogies and She Wolves!
"Come on, Gigantour 2!"

Mustaine Says Gigantour Doing Better Than Expected
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine recently spoke to Aaron Yoxheimer of The Morning Call about Gigantour, the six-week festival trek co-headlined by MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER. Several excerpts from the chat follow:
On the need for another traveling metal festival, which arrives in Reading, PA today:
"I wouldn't compare this to those other festivals [such as Ozzfest, Sounds of the Underground]. I'd compare it to something a little more old-fashioned and not based so much on being sponsored by alcohol companies and a lot of things that these other festivals have associated with them.
"I'm not taking a dig at those other festivals, 'but if you go back to things like Monsters of Rock, the California Jam, or Clash of the Titans, they were real festivals, not a flea market with bands playing in between. Ticket prices are low [$20-$40 on average], and the bands are playing for nominal fees, so it's truly about the love of music.
"It would be great if we had Clear Channel or some huge corporate sponsor dumping millions of bucks into this, so we could make the tickets be even more affordable and maybe get more popular bands, but I wanted to do things in an honorable way, without compromising the fans' or my own integrity."
On ticket sale figures posted on the Internet, which show that the tour has barely filled venues to half-capacity in most markets:
"We were looking in the beginning to play to 3,000 to 5,000 people a marketplace, but unfortunately some of the buildings able to hold those numbers weren't there. … There was nothing else available except for much larger places. So it's really easy to say that this thing isn't selling when you walk into a large venue and see a really small amount of people in proportion to its size.
"But we know that's not the case. We know that this is doing better than we expected. In fact, I just received word from our agency that they believe in this and we're already talking about next year.
"I've been pretty aware of what I do business-wise and I think every right decision I make makes it easier for young musicians that come after me. So I have a duty do the right thing, not only to myself and to my family, but to my successors as well. I have had [negative] experiences [on] other tours, but there was never anything that occurred that made me hate the people I was touring or working with. Even the MÖTLEY CRÜE tour [the 2000 Maximum Rock tour] — which I really loathed — I don't hate the members, I just hated the tour."
On his detractors:
''It's easy to talk badly about someone when you don't know them. A lot of people think I'm unapproachable, but all you have to do is go to our web site and see how much interaction I have with our fans. And believe it or not, when I'm out in public and not on stage with a guitar and a microphone, I'm really pretty shy. I really have a hard time taking compliments because of that.
