Distinctive color combo and versatile electronics make this signature model stand out.
Well back into the 1990s and right up to this day, Troy Van Leeuwen has contributed deftly textural guitar work and atmospherics to some of alt-heavy rock's most acclaimed and forward-thinking bands. From the influential '90s alternative of Failure to A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Puscifer and others, Van Leeuwen's multi-instrumental expertise has given great color and power to a great deal of very creative rock music.
The Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster is as distinctive as the sounds he wrings from it. Its gloss Oxblood finish with a four-ply red tortoiseshell pickguard is darkly alluring, with the interestingly contrasting touch of two white "witch hat" control knobs. The dual tone circuits (lead, rhythm) use a two-way toggle switch on the upper horn rather than the customary slider switch, and the brass-saddle Mustang bridge is combined with a Jazzmaster tailpiece.
Other features include a maple neck with "C"-shaped profile and heel-end truss rod adjustment, 7.25"-radius bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets and pearloid block inlays, two American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster single-coil pickups with three-way toggle switching, and vintage-style tuners.
Hardshell case included.
- Alder Jazzmaster body
- Maple neck with C shape
- Rosewood fretboard with 7.25"radius
- 21 vinage-style frets
- American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster pickups
- Jazzmaster bridge with floating tremolo tailpiece

- Metallic Oxblood Paint
- Matching Painted Headstock Face
- White Plastic Parts
- "Witch Hat" Control Knobs
- Single "Wing" String Tree
- Vintage-Style Strap Buttons
- Case/Gig Bag: Black hardshell case
If you're a fan of Van Leeuwen, this is a no-brainer. Order today.

Comments about Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
This Jazzmaster caught my eye after I decided that I wanted to treat myself to a very nice instrument. The Oxblood, the block inlays, the vintage everything, and the chrome toggle switch for the rhythm circuit; it all looked fantastic. I was a little off-put by the reviews from those who weren't happy with the way the high E string sat due to the Mustang bridge, but after considering that it's a pretty common swap, I decided to just go for it. And I couldn't be happier with the decision.
This is an absolutely phenomenal guitar, and my first Jazzmaster. The tone is to die for, especially if you run it through an AC30 - it just responds so well to the EQ. The AV65 pickups run a little hot, which is great because the tone controls can roll it off like it's nothing. Coming from a Strat, everything about this guitar just feels better; the chunkier neck, the vintage frets and radius, the offset body. And the thing that worried me the most - the string spacing of the high E - is a complete non-issue. I can do lead work on it just as easily on any other guitar, but it's honestly more fun. The techs who set this up before shipping it did great work, because the strings feel like either 11s or 12s - the perfect gauges - and the thing has stayed in tune straight out of the box. The overall construction of the instrument is rock solid, and the grain of the fretboard on my particular one is just beautiful.
This instrument has totally exceeded my expectations in just about every way. I'm completely enamored. The most frustrating thing now is trying to choose a guitar strap that pairs with the finish
Comments about Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I am writing this review to inform potential buyers that if they find the high E string too close to the edge of the fretboard(see enlarged photo above) it has nothing to do with fender craftsmanship, neck issues,etc.. but it is because of the Mustang saddles. They create a wider than ideal string spacing on a Jazzmaster and you can see the high E string is not even close to the pole piece of the bridge pickup. Some people like the Mustang saddles because they don't have height adjust grub screws to fall down but honestly the stock saddles are better(you can move the string spacing) and you can prevent them from "falling" by simply using clear nail polish on the screws.
I hope this will save some aggravation for some (as with the last reviewer) as Fender is making some mighty fine instruments and they deserve credit for giving us lots of choices. But in this case they should have left the mustang saddles for the aftermarket tweakers.

Comments about Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
First off, I love so much about this guitar. It looks and sounds great and is really fun to play. When I discovered it I was thrilled that I finally potentially found the Jazzmaster for me.
But I got the first one and noticed that the high E string was on the edge of the fretboard. The nut looked fine and I have someone who sets up all my guitars so I don't know much about those things but it certainly seemed weird out of the box.
Since I'd purchased an "open box" guitar I worked with MF support to get it replaced with a new one. I thought maybe a kid had played Kurt Cobain with it and effed up the neck or something.
My bad, as I paid for expedited shipping only to get a brand new one with exactly the same issue. Then I did some research and saw a lot of folks complaining about this.
I've thought about taking to my guitar guy and having him work on it, but between that and the tremelo (arm doesn't stay in) it just seemed like too much to deal with for how much I'd spent on principle alone.
So I'm bummed because I like many aspects but I'm returning mine in hopes Fender resolves this and future models don't have the same issues.
I hope this helps someone. It surely would have helped me to temper my expectations.

Comments about Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
Mine came tuned down half a step. After a very quick tuning, all I had to do was set up the trem lock which took about 2 minutes and the guitar was fully set up. It's stunning visually, and I the design quickly grew on me. I use every pickup, and I switch between the lead and rhythm circuits constantly. The guitar is just as useful as the tones are beautiful, which is something I haven't seen in most guitars. I love telecasters, but most of the time I'm playing mine I'm either using both pickups or just the bridge. With the jazzmaster, it's cool to use every switch and knob it has. Cuts right through the mix in my band, and turned me from an almost always clean toned
guitarist to a totally 50/50 guitarist between experimental distortion stuff and cleans. It's so easy to let the creativity flow on this guitar and the fact that it has the couple unique touches make it stand out among all the other jazzmasters and jaguars that all the indie kids are playing nowadays.

How does Tae Kwon Do help children learn to focus better?
The curriculum for each belt level contains many components. To learn them takes concentration and memorization. In a structured class setting, each child must focus in order to learn.
How does Tae Kwon Do help with school yard bullying?
Sadly, bullying is inevitable. No mom or dad wants their child to feel scared or down about themselves. Every parent feels frustrated and would love to solve their child's problems at school. Unfortunately, we must trust in children's ability to cope and solve their own conflicts. Children will learn, in a safe and friendly atmosphere, how to defend themselves physically, but, more importantly, they'll gain a truer sense of self-confidence that will allow them to make confident choices and resolve their issues with greater ease.
Martial arts tournaments
Our school is very active in martial arts tournaments. There's no obligation to attend or participate in tournaments. However, if your child has a competitive edge and wants to test his Taekwondo abilities, the opportunity is there. Martial arts tournaments aren't only about winning or losing. They're about performing in front of large amounts of people, overcoming fear and shyness and, most importantly, losing gracefully. It's impossible to win all the time. Martial artists learn to respect their opponents, and if they lose, with great sportsmanship, appreciate others' strengths and realize their own room for improvement.
Martial arts elite team
Magnitude also has an Elite Team, which consists of students who are invited by the Head Instructor to participate in extra Taekwondo training and weapon classes. Our Elite Team practices more extreme martial arts (fancy kicks and skills) and improves all techniques for sparring and patterns. They put together routines that they perform at various functions. All Elite Team members actively participate at martial arts tournaments.
Self-Defence workshops
We offer Self-Defence workshops for teenagers and adults, taught at our facilities throughout the year.
- Learn real life self defence moves that could save your life!
- Tactical and easy to learn techniques.
- Apply learned moves on a self-defence suit.
- Fun and interactive course.
- Moms and daughters welcome.
The course is approximately two hours in length, held on Saturday afternoons
from 12- 2 pm. Cost is $50 per person. Please call ahead for scheduled dates.

Moshi Kameleon Review — the iPhone 6 kickstand king
Your iPhone 6 is probably your go-to device for just about everything. If you're like many iFans, you keep it in your desk, nightstand, and pull it out all the time. For just about any reason, too. You probably consume a lot of media with your iPhone 6, which makes the iGlaze Kameleon from Moshi a case you should definitely check out. Not only does it secure your phone with Moshi's hybrid construction method, it has a kickstand for those times you want to watch a video or have the screen upright.

Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation is planning ahead – far ahead, as far as real estate prices are concerned.
Staff from its Greater Clark Parks District presented its draft concept plan for Salmon Creek Community Club Neighborhood Park Wednesday for a public comment period lasting until May.
"We're going to take it up to approval of the plan, and then we're going to shelve it until we have funding," said Jilayne Jordan, the district's spokeswoman. "It's completely dependent on the economy. If the economy stays weak, it will take longer."
She's of course talking about the Metro Parks District levy, which funds maintenance of county parks. It depends on further weakening real estate prices, which in turn further weaken its fund-raising capabilities. Without secure funding for maintenance, parks and recreation is holding back on construction of some new facilities.
Finishing planning allows the district to apply for grants and start fund-raisers for a project that is expected to cost $699,366. Surveys, environmental assessments, concept planning, public outreach and other material costs have cost the district approximately $10,000, according to Jordan. The district will present another draft plan, revamped based on public comment, in mid- to late-May.
It's dead last on a list of seven neighborhood parks yet to be designed or built – the 30th installment of what the district hopes will be 30 neighborhood parks.

In 2003, Nelly heard about ASHI. Her dream of having a stable life with a stable house and to start a business became possible. When she received her first and succeeding loans from ASHI, Nelly started her own business of a fruit stall in the local community. It has been a few long years now that she has had this kind of business. The fruit stall has been a great help to her family. As a busy entrepreneur, Nelly also embarked on a tricycle (motorcycle with sidecar) transport business. Her husband manages this business.
However, the demands of her family grows as the years go by. So, she now aspires to have another business that can add to her present income in order to have bigger profits and more savings. She came up with the idea of operating sari-sari (variety) store. It has been a great success! Nelly earned a good income and she wants to have more investment in the sari-sari store. For her 12th loan, she is proposing a new loan amounting to PHP 40,000.00 to expand her three ventures. The loan fund will specifically be used to purchase an inventory of groceries for her store, more stock of fruits to sell, and support the maintenance of their tricycle.
With this kind of business, Nelly can still manage her previous fruit stall business because either she or her husband can operate their sari-sari (variety) store at home. Someday, as her income increases, she dreams of funding her children's education until they each complete a college degree and have professional jobs in the future. Her greatest dreams are of lifting her family out of poverty and to have happy living.

I've been working with my AncestryDNA results for a couple of years now with great success. Here are six steps you can use to find success with your AncestryDNA matches as well.
1. Make sure your test is attached to a tree.
AncestryDNA reveals cousin matches whether you have a family tree attached or not. However, in order to understand more about those cousin matches and encourage them to work with you to uncover your common ancestors, you need to have a public tree on Ancestry.com and that tree needs to be attached to your AncestryDNA test. Check to make sure your test is attached to the correct person in your family tree by clicking on the SETTINGS button on "Your DNA Home Page."
Are you looking for biological family members? Create a tree with a "Biological Father" and "Biological Mother" listed as such so that others know that you are looking for biological family and not just that you don't have a family tree online.
2. Use the Hint feature to see those cousins with whom you have an identified shared ancestor.
Once your tree is attached to your AncestryDNA test, Ancestry.com goes to work trying to identify common ancestors in your tree and the trees of your matches. Use the Hints filter to discover where a shared ancestor has been identified in your trees. Review your tree and theirs to ensure that the research is solid. If you notice any discrepancies, contact your new-found cousin and invite them to work together to figure it out.
3. Make notes so you can review later.
When viewing a match page, use the Notes feature to make note of actual relationships, common ancestors or suspected connections. Once you save these notes, you can view them from the Member Matches page without having to click through to each individual match's page. After I make a note I then click on the star so I can quickly filter to a list of matches I've reviewed and made notations about.
4. Search by surname and look for patterns.
Once you've identified a match or two with the same common ancestor, spend a little time researching that family. Have you identified all of their children? Who did their daughters and granddaughters marry? Now, use the Surname Search to identify your AncestryDNA matches who have those same surnames in their family trees.
5. Check back regularly and sort by date to see newest matches.
Every time someone else takes the AncestryDNA test, we compare their DNA to yours to see if you are related. If they are, we add them to your list of cousin matches. (I have 196 new matches in just the last seven days.) As each of these new people build out their family trees, the possibilities of shared ancestor hints showing up increases. Check back regularly and sort your list by date to see the new matches at the top of the list. Be sure to go back to the Hints filter regularly to see what new hints have turned up as well.
6. Collaborate! Collaborate! Collaborate!
On the profile page for every one of your matches you will find a big green "Send Message" button. Use this to communicate with your matches. Introduce yourself. Ask questions about their research. Offer to share what you know. Establish a relationship. Once those lines of communication are open, you can begin working together to share additional information about your matches, looking for overlapping matches, surnames and locations that will help you triangulate connections on your family trees.

When you have a cousin match that shows a high confidence percentage and shows where you match in your tree does that give more validity to your family tree along that line?
Debra – that's difficult to say.
A cousin match with a high degree of confidence just means that you share enough DNA for Ancestry.com to determine that you are genetically related. Based off the amount of DNA in common, AncestryDNA makes an estimate about your degree of relatedness (third cousin, for example) and how confidence they are about that estimate.
A tree hint means something else – that Ancestry.com scanned your tree and your match's and noticed that you have a common ancestor or common ancestors.
That common ancestor very well could be how you're related, but you might be related through another line, which is more common than you might think, especially if your ancestors lived in certain areas for multiple generations.
But I'd look at the tree hint optimistically and say that if you know you are a genetic match and you both arrived at a common ancestor through separate research, especially through different children of this couple, that's reassuring. Certainly not "proof," but it's a step in the right direction toward establishing whether you are a descendant.
I wish there was some way to compare "matches" for two different persons' tests. This would not only be tests that I have given or administer, but with mutual permission, tests by other persons.
For example, I have a test for myself and my father's brother. Any test from another person, that matches to both of us, further adds to the validation of the connection between that person and both of us. Right now I can manually go through matches and manually keep track of them, but it is very time consuming.
If I could also get such a comparison between say my test and the test of another person, like a close cousin or a distant cousin whose connection to me is well documented, this would also help validate the connections between us and others. This would be a good way to work connections of a particular surname, similar to the male line connections in the Y-chromosome tests. This would be very useful to researchers.
I have a private tree and have received my ancestry kit. Not ready to go public with the tree.
Ancestry states "you need to have a public tree on Ancestry.com and that tree needs to be attached to your Ancestry test." Do I need to start a new tree?
Judy – I have a public tree, but I see a lot of matches that have private trees. Having a private tree linked to your AncestryDNA results just means people can see you as a match, but not see any information as to how they are matched to you. Hope that makes sense. You could take the test and link it to your private tree, then when you are ready to take it public change the settings.
Judy – To add to what Julie said, some people create very bare-bones public trees without any collateral relatives or documentation or pictures that contain just their direct-line descent. So if you aren't ready to make your main tree public, but want a public tree to encourage others to contact you and connect with you based on tree hinting, then you could create a very basic, stripped-down version and then link your DNA to that.
You can have success even with a private tree, but that privacy setting is another barrier to communication, if that makes sense.
Great post. Several videos ago, I heard Crista talk briefly about creating a DNA tree…which is what I believe Adriana is referring to. Is that something that can be created from my FTM 2014? I started a bare bones one, and after about 10 hours had not touched the surface…and was flooded with hints I of course had in my other tree…even with the hints for the new tree turned off. I really want to participate more with the DNA project. Thanks all.
I had a great match on my DNA results. It was on my mother's paternal side. I did locate several other matches that were on my father's side. I have a 3rd cousin that has submitted her DNA sample and we're waiting on her results. She is on my mother's maternal side – should I move my DNA results to the tree she and I are on to see the match easily?
On another thought, I also had a match that has real potential to be a match with an individual that I matched but I can't get this individual to sort through his DNA results to look for her name. I've asked this individual nicely several times but no help.
Hi. This all sounds great — when will it be available to Canadian subscribers? Thanks.
There is one thing to be aware of. The automatic Matching complete with the shaking leaf hint is not always correct on AncestryDNA. I am blessed to have a number of very common names – both the given name and the surname. I have had several of these matches that show the matching ancestor – only that ancestor is really two different men of the same name often living a generation or two apart and in different parts of the country. The only thing that matches is the name and the fact that somewhere i have matching DNA – but it's certainly not through the "matched" ancestor.
I have a DNA match that is 98% sure but the "relation" and I cannot figure out how we are related as he has minimal family tree info. Where do we go from here?
This has been quite a process since I first started back in the 1970's. A lot of the research was informative and fun to do. But now…….. we'll see.
Do we need to brush our teeth before spitting in the tube 🙂
I tested my mtDNA. I expected results/matches only from my mother's maternal side of the family. I have matches from my mother's paternal side of the family. Her paternal grandparents have a common ancestor 3 generations back so the match could be female on her paternal side…..I also have matches on my father's mother's maternal side of the family. My mother and father have a common ancestor 5 generations back. So is that how the female dna was picked up on my father's side of the family? The one I don't understand at all is a 4th cousin match on my father's father's mother's side of the family. His grandmother had a brother, I matched to a descendant of the brother's daughter. To make a long story short, I don't understand how my DNA had any matches on the paternal side of my mother and father.
Thank you
When we get the list of relatives with trees attached, does it mean we are connected by DNA or did they just match some by our trees?
Not so much of a comment but a question. Just read "6 Steps for Success Working with Your AncestryDNA Matches".
Before joining Ancestry.com I had several DNA tests done through FamilyTreeDNA.com. Am I able to attach my results on my tree on Ancestry.com, and how would I do it?
Thank you.
Ernie Fournier
Is it possible to be 4th cousins with someone and not show a dna match? I found a documented 4th cousin. We have the same cousins in common also but I do not see her in my matches. How is this possible?
My matches are almost all linked to "no tree" or "private" trees. Some people I contacted have not answered.Others have answered, but they tested unrelated people's DNA, and know nothing about the person's ancestry. the only close matches I have are with second cousins I had already discovered on Ancestry. Disappointing to say the least! There is a lot of ranting on the discussion boards on how this or that one would "never again" have a public tree, because of others' incompetence in genealogy research. It's really a shame. I have a very large tree that will always remain public. It's how one generates interest in ancestor hunting in the next generations!
[…] Click here to learn a few tips and tricks in exploring your matches. […]
I've had 2 different tests done by Ancestry, the first was when Ancestry first started doing DNA testing and the other was with the current test. It would be WONDERFUL if the results of those 2 tests could be combined so I would only have to go through one set of results.

Nice page on Ennis, Doug. I must try and get back to see more of Ireland. This seems like an ideal spot to base yourself to see the south and west of the country. And I agree that the Cliffs of Moher are a must see!
Hi Doug, Ennis looks a nice place. As for Cliffs of Moher should I seek accommodation closer to that attraction? Doug, when are you coming South Of The Equator??

Palo, Pelle, Uthoff, and Lockett. Only 2 Schoalships. My guess is that Pelle and Uthoff come here and take the 2 Scholarships. Palo does not receive one. And Lockett goes to Marquette.

My best guess in Uthoff and Palo! Bubu deserves it!!
In before someone says "I want whatever Fred wants."
I would say probably Lockett and Uthoff are the most likely.
bubu should only get one if its a last resort.
Wow what a great subject that's never been discussed here and deserves another thread!

Then I guess I would say go ahead and discuss it in the other 20 threads.
okay :)
Really hard to say.
My gut tells me it will probably end up being Palo and Uthoff. Which is my least favorite of the possible scenarios.
Either way, I just want to get on with it. The suspense is killing me.
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion man"
My choices would be Lockett and Pelle. I don't want us to give one to Bubu unless we are going to plan on not using it at all.
Bubu earned the scholarship. Uthoff was expected to compete for a starting spot as a Rs Freshman at wisky. We'll get 3 good years out of him. Opposed to pelle who probably won't qualify or 1 year of Lockett
What I want is Pelle and Uthoff. I think Lockett and Bubu is more probable though. Nothing against Lockett, would love to have him, but were deeper at his position than Uthoff or Pelle's position
Favorite posters: I hate you all

Really amazing self-portrait The vivid colors, coupled with the bold strokes make for an amazing effect Like the 'messy' feel quite much.
very van gogh esk! i like!
Van Gogh is the father of impressionism right?
Love it!
For some reason you remind me of a younger Dr. Blackjack.
simply fantastic! You look great.
That is so cool.
Hehe si Fafa Jerome may sipon, red nose.
Ang nakakatawa pa neto ay meron talaga akong sipon nung ginagawa ko to
Wow! Did you paint that, or was it Photoshop? Because it looks like paint! I love it!
Photoshop and some preset Brushes. Basically it's the effect of impressionism.
wow astig!
Nice sloppy-like effect, and the colors match well
Strong traces.
I'm a big fan of your use of colours and raw paint style in this. Very very cool.
You certainly are a colourful character. Do you usually have this much make-up on or only for this portrait?
C'est magnifique, bravo !

If you have weep holes drilled in the bottom course of brick veneer every two feet, what is the highest that dirt should be allowed to be graded? Currently the brick veneer is secured to the poured concrete foundation walls with mortar.
A) Should the dirt only be allowed to be graded up to the top of the foundation walls? In this case, the dirt would stop before covering the first mortar joint in the brick veneer, thus keeping the weep holes unobstructed, allowing maximum air flow and exit of water collecting behind the veneer from condensation, etc.
B) Or, is it OK to grade dirt above the first few rows of brick veneer, covering the weep holes in the first course? Would this obstruct air flow and water exit? This method would be used to fix the current lack of grade that occurs around the house. IF this were the method to use, would I need to installl some sort of french drain or at least use gravel to fill close to the home along that first course of brick veneer that is being covered?
Thanks for any input you can provide? I'm about to make some changes that may affect how well I am able to alleviate multiple water problems I am seeing around this 7 year old home that I bought last year. I just want to make sure I do this right the first time.

For decades, Greenwood residents flocked to the Polk Memorial Community House on Madison Avenue.
They boxed, swam and batted around volleyballs. They even practiced golf indoors.
Residents watched silent films, enjoyed community theater and checked out library books.
The 92-year-old building eventually became home to city government, where you go to pay a utility bill or give the Greenwood City Council a piece of your mind. But the city is moving into bigger, newer digs just down the street, and that's raised a question about the future of the Polk Memorial Community House at 2 N. Madison Ave.
Greenwood plans to consider selling the building after most city government offices are moved into the Presnell Cos. tower at the southwest corner of Main Street and Madison Avenue. Attorney Sam Hodson, who's handling the acquisition of the new city hall, said it wasn't known how the building would be repurposed, but said it could be for condos or offices for private businesses.
A resident affiliated with the Restore Old Town Greenwood group presented an alternate idea: to restore the building as a community house. Travis Goff told the Greenwood City Council it should consider keeping the building, restoring it and turning it into a place where residents could gather.
"For decades, it served the civic good," he said. "It's not a government building that needs to be repurposed. It is a community house that should be preserved for Greenwood and Mr. (James T.) Polk's legacy. I challenge you to dedicate this building as a community house."
He said groups such as Restore Old Town Greenwood or the Southside Arts League potentially could meet or offer classes at a new community house.
The city council plans to consider later what to do with the property. Council member Thom Hord said its age might limit what can be done.
"Sometimes buildings just get old," he said.
The building was built in 1920 with money donated by Polk, a canning company magnate who had run the largest cannery west of Maryland in Greenwood.
The community house included a library, gymnasium, a pool in the basement, and a 500-seat auditorium, where an amateur acting troupe called the Greenwood Community Players performed. Churches gathered in the community house, and many youth sports programs operated out of the gym.
But the building fell into neglect for years. The city spent $900,000 to renovate it in the mid-1980s, when it became the city hall.
Greenwood city government has since outgrown the space and leases office space on Emerson Avenue for the legal, planning and engineering departments. The building also has aged and has issues such as a leaky roof.
Renovating the building and making it more energy-efficient would cost an estimated $2.6 million, Hodson said.
Goff said the city should consider keeping the building and renovating it instead of transferring it to private hands.
"I would hate to see this building sold," he said. "It would make me sick to see the city sell it. I understand it has $2 million worth of needs, but think the city should do the right thing even if it costs money."
Goff said the issue was not historic preservation so much as preserving the original use of the building and ensuring that it continued to serve a civic function.
He said the building could be used by the community but didn't know if it would necessarily need a playhouse or other features it used to have. He said a community house wouldn't have to be a time capsule for the early 1900s but should be relevant to Greenwood's current needs.
He said the city should do a needs assessment to determine how the building would best be used. One possibility would be to offer meeting space for community groups that now meet at the library, churches or private homes, he said.

Re: 50D to...???
You know, it's been said before, but it's worth saying again. There are only two good reasons to upgrade, in my opinion. The first is if your current camera quits working. The second, and by far the more common reason, is if your camera isn't doing something for you that a newer/better camera does, or does better. In other words, if you feel your current camera is limiting you in some specific way, and a newer/better camera removes that limitation, then get the newer/better camera. I don't see anything in your post that indicates you have either reason to upgrade.

Stir-Fry (1994)
by Emma Donoghue
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was sort of a relationship driven book. But instead of just the characters individually being what the book was about it was also about the dynamics of all sorts of relationships.
There were 3 main characters, Maria, Jael and Ruth. They all share a flat. Maria's a freshman at University while Jael and Ruth are 29 and 24 respectively and at various points in their college careers. And once we meet them (and the secondary characters) the rest of the novel explores the three womens' relationships and how they change over time.
I really liked that the novel got the feeling of freshman students feeling, a young feeling, the first time away from home, freaking out and trying not to let anyone know that you are. Also the dialogue was witty and snappy.
I also like when, like this one, books are about introverts and not just extroverts. Generally introverts in fiction are called weird characters, but here they were just as valid characters as the extroverts.
I think my biggest problem with the book was that I had no idea how to categorize it. Perhaps this is an instance where only 'Literature' works as a category for it.
No matter, it was an interesting book and a very good book.
a lovely coming out tale. i just want to read this book over and over.
dialogue is the best part of this book - refreshing, often funny repartee between the main characters. other areas of the book are weaker: plot is meh, there is a great yawning distance between reader and protagonist, there is not much detail to visually or sensually embody the main characters, even as they delight us with their conversational barbs... so, a good effort. not satisfying in the end, but an interesting read. lots of irishisms i'll have to look up later. not quite the coming-out novel i was hoping to read, but interesting. i'd give it two stars, except for the dialogue, which was at times quite amusing.
Despite falling into that bitter-sweet lesbian genre also well inhabited by "Oranges are Not the Only Fruit" I was rather seduced by this novel. Its tale of a rural girl discovering possibilities she had never seen before and the tenderness of falling in love without recognising it is worth reading. I was also impressed by the portrayal of Irish spaces and attitudes and pleased to find the characters were a range of well-fleshed out women with differing interests.
I would have liked a little more humour and a little less loneliness but thats a quibble with the story not the writing.
A recommended read but don't expect excitement or avant-garde style.
Coming-of-age novel that relates the story of Maria, a college student in Dublin who answers an ad for an apartment share. Her new roomates Ruth and Jael are lesbians and are hesitant to reveal that to Maria lest she freak out. In time Maria discovers their secret, and in doing so discovers some truths about herself.
This book was sweet. I liked how the author portrayed Maria, and was satisfied with the resolution to the story. I'm happy to get a chance to read the authors first book before her more popular Slammerkin.

Iannis Xenakis (Greek: Γιάννης (Ιάννης) Ξενάκης 29 May 1922 – 4 February 2001) was a Greek composer, music theorist, and architect-engineer. After 1947, he fled Greece, becoming a naturalized citizen of France. He is commonly recognized as one o...f the most important post-war avant-garde composers. Xenakis pioneered the use of mathematical models in music such as applications of set theory, stochastic processes and game theory and was also an important influence on the development of electronic and computer music. He integrated music with architecture, designing music for pre-existing spaces, and designing spaces to be integrated with specific music compositions and performances.

Philippians 2:9-11
Well. That was a depressing read.
Yawn. Like it's news that no lock can stand up to an angle grinder? I have a Krypto Fahgettaboudit, but still depend on the fact that chances are I'll be locked near someone with a crappier lock that is more appealing to a thief.
BTW: In the comments the author talks about the "$300 New York Lock". This is either bull****, or someone at the bike shop REALLY ripped him off. even the large faghettaboudit chain is only $105 on Amazon right now.
Ive been told im a nice guy .But if some one trys to steal from me i flip a switch.i get so mad they better pray i cant catch them
im going to start using 2 locks
There's an old saying that goes something like "all bikes with a lock weigh 30 pounds",
based on the scale that a bike over 30 pounds doesn't need much of a lock,
and a 25 pound bike needs a 5 pound lock,
and a 20 pound bike needs a 10 pound locking setup ( u-lock +chain + padlock),
and a sub-20 pound bike needs a locking system somewhere north of 10 pounds to secure it and cause thieves to look for easier targets.
And always remember, a lock is only as secure as what it is locked to, sometimes the thieves go after the post or tree or rack or fence instead of the lock, then they deal with the lock later.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Life happens, don't be a spectator.
That's just sad. I mean I understand the point of an angle grinder is to be able to grind through just about anything but seriously? I mean they can't come up with anythign to stop a 40$ angle grinder from home depot? How about a lock made from carbon nanotubes or something?
Ok Gizmodo,
You've told us what we already know, stuff can be destroyed in order to achieve a desired result. That's nice, but now that you've proven this point, like everyone else who ever has, do you have any sort of solution? You have described the problem, but not any solution to said problem; this doesn't help anyone.
Do any of the locks tested come with an insurance policy against theft at all? If so, what are they? What is the likely-hood of crime in the area, and the time factor for the theft prevention of the bike in question? Does the criminal have have 30 seconds before someone catches them, or 3 hours? What is the ratio of criminals to honest people in the environment? 1 in a 1,000,000, or a bike thief convention? If a grinder is required, how practical is the transportation of the tool too and from the scene of the crime?
Thank you Gizmodo for telling us that you have no solutions and have found the same problem that was discovered at the dawn of time, stuff can be stolen even if locked. Useless.
(<--devil's advocate)
rear wheel locks are common on city bikes over here and the small ones seem to be the best.
most people use a cable lock to the street post/fence and the wheel lock as a deterrent
it's only a tiny bit of weight and renders the bike pretty much useless because cutting it off (to get the rear wheel to roll again) would require wheel/frame damage.
i'm surprised more bike companies don't use them

About materials for U locks:
Titanium is best against prying with a crowbar, it is relative stiff, have fair strength (2/3 of steel), but it will not break, it is very resilient (tenacious) - that means it is very hard to actually break it in two. Not good against grinders - Titanium has soft surface, a rusted nail will scratch it. It is somewhat good against hacksaws as it will bend a lot in the cut, will require higher pressure on the blade, higher temperature on the teeth of the blade - it may dull the blade.
Wolfram (tungsten) - great against grinders, this material really stands against most angle grinders, it is extremely stiff, very high strength also. Problem with it is that it is fragile in the end, it shatters. A good pound with a hammer against something solid may break it. (but it may be overcome if it's in thick section and covered with some rubbery material to absorb shocks)
Bad thing is that cost a small fortune and it is VERY heavy (23000kg/m^3 , gold has 19000, steel has 7800, titanium has 4600, aluminum has 2700, magnesium has 1800, go figure)
So common sense is ultra high strength steel that stand very well against grinders but are a bit fragile, they shatter.
If I would design an U lock, I'd made a Titanium core 10-15mm with UHSS coated with TiN over the Ti solid bar (about 2-3mm of uhss casing around the core). The problem is that UHSS you cannot bend so it is a bit of a headache to actually manufacture a bent UHSS tube with Ti core. My general sense say that a combo like this may held very well against most tools (jaws cutters, grinders, and hacksaws), but it's not good for manufacturing and price could be prohibitive also.
But anyway I've seen and used a relative portable size hydraulic press made for cutting solid steel bars up to 40mm diameter of steel. - hydro-pneumatic reservoirs at high pressure may be enough for a one time use to cut any known lock or chain.
My 2cents about possibilities as an engineer.
The solution may be to simply attach a number of running and facing outwards angle grinders to your lock.
Bike Radar also does a description of destructive testing of locks.
More types than just U locks.
Yup, you sure can steal a bike if you want to.
Next week, in "studies of the obvious," we'll look at how long it takes a properly equipped thief to break into your apartment. It's probably less than the 4 minutes it took to grind the Fahgettaboudit.
The ratio of thieves-to-bikes is sufficiently low that angle grinder attacks aren't exactly an everyday concern. For about the cost of buying a decent lock every year or two, you can buy insurance, and stop worrying about it.
Insurance isn't the answer, even Kryptonite's New York line, with it's insurance is notoriously hard to get a reimbursement from. Unless you have documented ownership of the bike (think sales receipt), and are holding the broken lock, don't even bother. If there is any chance it was your lock job that failed, you're out of luck.
If you want to insure your bikes under your home-owners, or renters insurance, go right ahead, but good luck making a claim. I had a good policy, but even so, my deductible was a major fraction of the cost of the bike, and then your loose all the benefits you get from not making a claim. It's not a bad idea just in case there's a massive fire or something, but just by itself, it's barely worth it.
That's always the thing about security, as much effort as you put into making something secure, it takes only a fraction of that effort to find a way around your precautions.
I have an On Guard that has quite a few marks, as in a few thugs tried to cut it with bolt cutters, and it's still going strong after 2 years.
The quality of this article is one of the reasons I stopped reading Gizmodo a few years ago.
Every angle grinder I've used was deafeningly loud, which doesn't seem ideal for a tool used to steal a bike in a public place. They would be very effective against almost any lock/chain/cable though. I guess maybe the general public doesn't care enough to notice or do anything if they see someone chopping through a bike lock on the street.
^^^Asi-thanks for that rundown. I have always wondered about different material and their advantages and drawbacks. Always thought there was a better way, but thought that those in the business would have figured that out by now.

http://Www.tigrlock.com and what your thoughts are on that use of titanium?
Materials, though, are only part of what makes a lock resistant to breaking. It has to be designed to withstand the actual attacks it will be facing.
Given, as someone commented on above, that the major lock manufacturers seem not to be interested in revolutionizing bike locks by employing expensive metals (e.g. Ti) and sophisticated technologies (e.g. GPS, motion sensors), I think it's fair to ask if we've reached a point of break resistance overkill?
How would we know? Well, I'd like to know what the most common attack modes are, and on which types of locks. I don't know the answers, but I'd be surprised if it were cordless angle grinders on the racks at the bus station.
If we presume, then, that just about any decent u-lock will defend well against a quiet, portable, extending handle bolt cutter, and that most thefts are targeted based on opportunity, what really becomes important when deciding which lock to buy and use?
Perhaps inadvertently, the Gizmodo piece addressed the factors that really should go into deciding on a lock by looking at issues like ease of use, carry-mount efficacy, and weight. Also, of course price. Personally, these were the prime issues that sold me on the TiGr (along with it's flexibile lockup scenarios), rather ultimate lock invincibility.
Yes, it's a gamble on my end since I don't know what the lock is likely to face, but I'm usually locking up in high traffic areas, during the day and early evening, in a pretty safe town.
Like I said, if someone takes an angle grinder to it, I'll be shocked. Then I'll go out and buy another TiGr probably! I value my user experience above attempting to do the impossible.

The only downside I see is the 200$ price tag on it.
Test: go to hardware store and buy a meter of the heaviest chain they have (15mm thick with welded bridge, etc - something you'd hook on a freight train). Watch closely how they get a large 2m bolt cutter and a simple flex will break it.

I'm very interested in Gdiapers for my LO due in June- Its a girl.
I've been looking around and want to know the cheapest methods to buying these diapers.
I'm not asking to buy from any of you since I see it is against the rules, but is anyone part of any outside sites or organizations that sell these diapers. Ebay seems to have such hikes. I use allofcraigs.com to locate various craigslist listings around the country, but no one wants to ship.
For the cloth inserts- do i go Gdiaper brand or elsewhere? I read prefolds work better or some other brands?
Are there any other comparision brands that offer this hybrid style that are compatible?

Dr. Steven Salaita spoke on the concluding day of Van Poolen's exhibit at Al Quds Gallery of the The Jerusalem Fund in Washington DC. The title of the talk, "Natural History Under Siege" refers to the topic of the speech, the threats to the natural environment of Palestine. Please click on this link to view Salaita's speech or read the transcript: http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/ht/d/ContentDetails/i/50688
Read commentary on Salaita's speech here: http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/14565
Rasmea Odeh is a 67 year old Palestinian American community leader who was tortured by the Israelis in 1969. The Israelis who tortured Rasmea have not been investigated for their crimes against her. Instead, Rasmea has been charged with a crime against the US, twenty years after the fact. This is a prime example of the United States support for the unjust, apartheid regime of Israel.
Rasmea Odeh was convicted for the crime of lying,twenty years ago, on her citizenship application regarding her torturous arrest in Israel. On March 12, 2015, Odeh was sentenced to eighteen months in prison and a fine of one thousand dollars. In addition, Odeh's US citizenship has also been revoked and she faces deportation to Jordan. The 67-year-old remains free on bond and can stay in the United States pending her appeal. Rasmea Odeh is at home in Chicago and preparing for her appeal in a Cincinnati courtroom.
Debra Van Poolen made courtroom sketches in January 2015 at the trial of former CIA analyst Jeffrey Sterling. Please see these articles which showcase Van Poolen's art from the trial:
Debra Van Poolen's drawings from the Chelsea Manning Trial were shown at Artprize in Grand Rapids, Michigan from Sept. 24 to Oct. 14, 2014. ( www.artprize.org ) Van Poolen's watercolor paintings and drawings from Palestine were exhibited at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery in Washington, DC from January 16 to February 13, 2015.

Van Poolen's drawings from Chelsea Manning's trial were chosen for the Juror's Shortlist of five two-dimensional entries from the field of 900 total 2-D entries.
Media coverage of the Juror's Shortlist entries:
Chelsea Manning's court martial provided a grand opportunity for the world to understand more about the policies of the US military. But cameras were not allowed in the courtroom of the historic trial and the proceedings, which began on June 3 and ended on August 21, 2013, were mostly ignored by world's mainstream media. Van Poolen contributed to the citizen-initiated efforts to get the truth out to the publc. Deb attended each day of the trial and produced drawings of Chelsea Manning, the defending attorneys, the witnesses for both sides, Judge Col. Denise Lind, and members of the attending publc. Deb's drawings and paintings were regularly featured on the Private Manning Support Network website as well as in other publications such as rt.com and popularresistance.org.
Artwork from the Chelsea Manning Trial
In Spring of 2013 Deb received grants from the Western Carolinians for Peace and Justice in the Middle East (wcpjme.org) and a St. Louis-based war tax resisters group to produce artwork about the experiences of Palestinians who since 1948 have been enduring illegal occupation of their homelands by Israeli Defense Forces.
Ladakh is a beautiful, autonomous region in northern India in the Himalayan mountains. Deb traveled to various fascinating regions of Ladakh between 2004 and 2011. Enjoy viewing some of her writings and photographs of those journeys.

cbrun - run callbacks with validation
A very tiny library to invoke callbacks
To install simply run:
npm install cbrun
This lib implements only one function. You can pass array of errors, what you pass to nested callbacks. On second argument you must put callback reference, third and further - it is arguments of callback, excluding error.
Or you can put one error, but do not forget put callback anyway.
This function exports to module, so you need to require it first:
var callbackHandler = require'cbrun';var fs = require'fs'; //Our function, what invokes callback fsreadFile'file1' fsreadFile'file2' //You dont need to check error in nested callbacks, only on endpoint callbackHandlererr err1 callback data1 data2; ; ; //Usage of this function readFiles if err console.logerr; processexit1; console.logfileData1toString fileData2toString;;
If you find bug, please open issue. Thanks ;)

Last week, I was going through some personal things that were from my granddad's home. He died many years ago, and a few of his things wound up forgotten in a box. They were odds and ends from one of his drawers--key chains, Elks membership card, WWII draft card, and oddly, an expended .410 casing. I looked at it, wondering why he would save a spent shell. Then, a distant, vague memory from a time long past began to emerge. I looked at it under a light, and saw a piece of paper stuck inside. I fetched some tweezers, pulled it out, and found this:
note to self 004.JPG
I remembered receiving the shotgun that day, the clothes, the first round shot out in the barnyard with Dad, Grandma, and Granddad there, all beaming away. After I took that first shot, Grandma retrieved the casing and insisted that I write the note to stick inside. That was the last time I saw it until last week, almost fifty years later. Grandma passed in '73, Granddad in '97, and Dad in 2002. I can still see us out in the barnyard on that September day in 1964.

Analysts Stress Critical Need for Risk Management
Kristof, Kathy, THE JOURNAL RECORD
Pension plan managers are getting decidedly more cautious. And some say that's a signal that it's time for individuals to get cautious too.
Major pension funds are emphasizing "risk management" over high returns, according to a recent survey by Callan Associates Inc., a San Francisco-based consulting firm. The bulk of pension managers surveyed were going to greater lengths to diversify and to hedge their bets through complicated option techniques, says Gregory C. Allen, senior vice president of Callan's quantitative consulting group.
Risk management limits investment profits, but it also allows pension managers to cut their losses when the market goes against them. It's a technique that becomes popular when investment professionals believe the appreciation potential of their investments is limited, while the risk of losing a great deal in a market drop is great. That's a picture-perfect description of today's stock and bond markets, investment professionals say.
Why? Interest rates and inflation rates are at historic lows. When interest rates and inflation are declining _ as they have for the past couple years _ it's generally good for the economy, good for stock prices and excellent for the prices of previously issued bonds. That's one of the reasons that both stock and bond markets have posted stellar returns.
But now there's little chance that either inflation or interest rates will drop any farther. Indeed, many believe they'll rise _ at least modestly _ within the next year or two.
An interest rate hike would depress the prices of previously issued bonds, while a boost in inflation could dampen stock prices.
Additionally, there's risk of a "correction" _ marketspeak for a big drop _ in the stock market because prices, as measured by the Dow Jones industrial average, are bouncing around their all-time highs both in real numbers and in terms of key market measurements such as price-earnings ratios and dividend yields.
"There's been a specter of market adjustment on the horizon since last year," said Allen. "So you see a lot of pension managers looking to hedge away some of the risk in equity investing."
Individuals should take the pension manager's shift as a cue to rethink their own investing, too, said Esther M. Berger, first vice president of Paine Webber in Beverly Hills and author of a book called "Money Smart."
"Risk management is critically important right now," said Berger.
Unfortunately, Berger and other experts maintain that the key risk management technique _ diversification _ is being shunned by many individual investors. Too many individuals are going from 100 percent investments in certificates of deposit to 100 percent investments in stock mutual funds, they note. Some, perceiving the risks in the market, may now be shifting back into CDs, experts note. …

Hi, I've been using this plugin for a few weeks after it appeared our WP sites were under attack. It's been a real life-saver and I'm very impressed with it. However, we're going to setup http://www.configserver.com which will monitor WP login attempts and block attackers. This means we don't need the attack detection features of this plugin. We're so impressed by it's excellent password security, we're wondering if there's a way to just use that part of the plugin on our Multisite network?
Perhaps a future version could have settings that allow disabling the attack features, and only enforce the password requirements, as well as allowing us to force network-wide password resets?
Either that, or a fork of the plugin that removes the attack detection and blocking capabilities?
What do you think? Would something like this be possible? We'd love to go on using, but would prefer it be a little lighter on the resources and not duplicate the functionality of configserver.
