Of course they have to throw in how the extra rain really doesn't help with
the water supply. Nonsense. Every bit helps. The ground being saturated
during fall is a key to having good runoff in the spring. The more water we get
into the ground right now plays a huge factor in next year's supply.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this cool, wet August. Let's keep it going!

I make that two and a half times the average. I am still puzzling how that means we have no more water, unless "powers that be" are diverting the water supply or have small reservoirs.

Gildas: The reason is that the August rains are small compared to the snow we receive during the winter and much of the low elevation rain gets used by plants or is evaporated away. Orem Parent explained the value of the August and fall rains well.

It's all global warming, the perfect hypothesis, when it's warm it's because of warming, when it's cold it's because of warming. The next ice age will be brought on by global warming.

Global warming shifts the odds, it doesn't mean we won't ever get
another below average temperature August. It just means below average Augusts
will occur less frequently. We're still heading for a top ten warmest year
on record globally (quite likely to get to top 5 but I think it's currently
sitting as the 6th warmest January-July).
Look up "NCDC releases July 2014 Global Report". There's a lot more red on that map than there is blue. It shows how you can still have regional cold anomalies in a month that's warm globally.

Ukraine: in 2013 the share of grain cargoes in the general traffic of seaport totaled 19.4%
In 2013 the share of grain cargoes in the general cargo traffic of the Ukrainian sea ports totaled 19.4%, while in 2012 the index totaled 19%, in 2011 - 10.2%, in 2010 – 10.9%, declared Andrei Shklyar, Head of the analytical department of the Centre for Transport Strategies, on May 30.
He noted that the grain is the only kind of commodities, which shows the stable growing dynamics of shipment volumes. In terms of the maximum mobilization, in 2013 the peak shipment volumes of grains in the ports of Ukraine reached 4.6 mlnn tonnes per month.
Also, A.Shklyar noted that if in 2010/11 MY the Ukrainian sea ports exported 14.9 mln tonnes of grains and oilseeds (loading of the port capacities totaled 40%), then in 2013/14 MY the reporting index may reach 36.6 mln tonnes. At the same time, if previously the loading index of the port facilities was forecasted at 87%, then to date without the Crimean ports the index grows to 96%.

Mini Cooper D (2011)Pocket-lint
£16,060 (as tested: £19,425)
Still the best car to drive in its class, unique design makes it feel special and different to the average car in this class, economical and cheap to run
Not enough room for more than two people, Mini Connected needs a bit of development, more platforms than iOS, gets expensive to buy if you add the options that personalise it
Clearly, the box marked "new ideas" is empty in the Munich studio where Minis are designed, because this latest redesign is real blink-and-you'll-miss-it-stuff. This car is, to the untrained eye, almost identical looking to the first generation new Mini, launched by BMW back in 2001. There are some different colours - including the retina-searing chili orange of our test car - new head and tail lamp cluster designs, and a new lower grille for 2011, but that's literally it.
But you probably either love or hate the Mini already, and this update is unlikely to do much to change your mind. You can still spend hours speccing-up your Mini (and virtually spending thousands of pounds) in the online configurator. Or adorn your Mini with union jack roofs, bits of chrome, or the chequered flag graphics that came on the mirrors of our test car to personalise it to your individual taste.
The big news for 2011 is the introduction of "Mini Connected". It's a new app-based system, which provides a range of additional services to use in your car, running off your phone. Download the Mini Connected App from the Apple Store (it's free), register an account, then plug your phone into the car's USB port and you can access the system via a joystick located down by the gearlever. The menu comes up on a screen in the middle of the cartoonishly large speedometer in the centre of the dash. As a whole though, it looks nice and is a good deal easier to operate on the move than a lot of touchscreens.
Clicking on Mini Connected brings up a host of functions to play with. There's an RSS feed of news, it'll pull your Twitter feed down to the car - making traffic jams less tedious - but the highlights are Google Send to Car, Minimalism Analyser and Web Radio.
Google Send to Car allows you to ping destinations and directions to the car from Google Maps, from any computer. The problem is that you need to buy the (optional and expensive) inbuilt Mini satnav system for it to be of real use - you can't just run Google Maps off your phone through the car's screen, which is a shame.
Minimalism Analyser is a coach to try and get you to drive more efficiently, rewarding you with stars for braking, accelerating and gearchange smoothness. Web radio works pretty well too, allowing you to listen to any number of web-based radio stations via your phone through the car's stereo system.
Accessing the app on your phone away from the car will tell you exactly how much fuel is left in it and how far it reckons you can go with what's left, which is handy if you're the sort of person who's permanently running late and always jumps in the car to find - to your surprise - there's no fuel in it.
There are a number of "buts", however. The first problem is that you can only run Mini Connected off an iPhone 3GS or 4. No Android, no BlackBerry, no Windows Phone 7 - for now. Mini won't say when they're coming but says it is working to integrate more operating systems. Next issue, thanks to the iPhone OS, is that you have to run the Mini Connected App full time on your phone to operate any of this stuff. Back out of the app to access your iPod, or should a call come in, and everything stops. Not that you'll be answering calls on your iPhone 4, because the car's Bluetooth system and the phone steadfastly refused to pair (we tried three different iPhones, all to no avail).
Right now, it feels like a system in development, but given that it's an app and therefore likely to be upgraded before too long, and that there's a brilliant USB interface that comes with it for playing music, at £210, it's an option box we'd be ticking if we were buying a Mini and owned an iPhone.
The fact that not much else has changed about the rest of the car doesn't really matter. The Mini is still great to drive and a unique piece of design. Minis are a common site on the road today, but thanks to all those personalisation options, you rarely see two alike. The circular interior design theme, and upright windscreen make the cabin feel special, because the space is very different to what you'll experience in just about any other car.
You sit low in the car, with your feet straight out and the wheel pulled towards you, a bit like a racing driver. The Mini steers down the road with a real fluidity, gripping on like you wouldn't believe through corners. And while the Cooper D won't be winning any traffic light grand prixs like the petrol-powered Cooper S might, it's still quick, quiet, refined and exceptionally economical. CO2 emissions are just 99g/km, which means it's road tax free, and - in London - exempt from the congestion charge. Even driving with our best lead boots on, we averaged 47 miles per gallon. And after 400 miles, the tank was still a quarter full. So while the Mini might not be cheap to buy, it won't break the bank to run.
Just make sure you're sat up front. Because although the Mini officially has four seats, anyone over 4-years-old won't want to spend long in the back, thanks to almost non-existent rear leg room. The boot's only big enough for a large airline-style carry on case too. So the Mini remains a car for the individual, or a couple at best.
It might not feel brand new, but, 10 years after BMW brought the name back, the Mini is a more appealing package than ever. It's fun, distinct, and cheap to run. If you've not got a family and are in the market for a small car, but have never understood what all the fuss is about, try one, because it really is as good as the hype suggests.

Corporate welfare? I am sure the incentive provided will be far overshadowed by the amount in property and corporate taxes they will pay. As well as the taxes these 150 employees will be paying, and the money pumped into the economy as these 150 (highly paid judging by the jobs) start spending their cash locally.

So would they not have expanded without the generous tax incentive? If so, then why did we just give up $1 million+ dollars to them?

This invention relates to latches and locks and has particular, but not exclusive, application to door latches which can be released by electrical signals. More specifically, the invention has particular application to catch mechanisms of the general type described in our co-pending Australian patent application No. 73086/74.
Our aforesaid patent application describes a catch mechanism which is designed to be installed in a door frame to cooperate with a conventional door lock and which includes a catch member which can be moved between an operative position in which it can serve the normal catch function and an inoperative position in which to enable release of the door no matter what the condition of the door lock. Such catch mechanisms have particular applications to fire doors and the present invention provides a modified mechanism which will ensure that the door will remain locked in the event of a fire generating very high temperatures.
According to the invention there is provided a catch mechanism comprising a body; a catch member pivotally mounted on the body to pivot between operative and inoperative positions; actuator means conditionable alternatively to hold the catch member in its operative position or to release the catch member for movement to its inoperative position; and heat responsive locking means operable in response to application of heat thereto when the catch member is in its operative position to lock the catch member in that position.
The invention also extends to the combination of
A door frame;
A door swingable within the frame between open and closed positions;
A lock structure mounted on the door and including a lock bolt to project beyond the outer edge of the door; and
A catch mechanism mounted on the door frame,
Said catch mechanism comprising a body, a catch member mounted on the body so as to be movable between an operative position in which to serve as a catch for the lock bolt to hold the door in the closed position and an inoperative position in which to release the lock bolt, detent means conditionable to hold the catch member in said operative position but releasable to allow the catch member to move to its operative position, power means to control the position of the detent means, and heat responsive locking means operable in response to application of heat thereto when the catch member is in its operative position to lock the catch member in that position.
Preferably, the heat responsive locking means comprises a biased locking plunger mounted in a cavity in either the catch member or the body and held in a retracted position against its bias by a heat fusible retaining element but extendible on fusing of said element to provide locking interengagement between the body and the plunger.
Preferably further, said cavity is in the catch member and there is a recess in the body which is aligned with that cavity when the catch member is in its operative position and which receives a forward end of the plunger when the plunger is extended on fusing of said element.
The bias may be provided by a compression spring located in said cavity.
Said element may be a plug of metal which closes the mouth of said cavity through which the plunger is to be extended. The plug may for example be formed of white metal which fuses at a temperature in the range 300�-900� F.
The actuator means may comprise a lever pivotally mounted on the body and engaged by the catch member so as to be pivoted between first and second positions on movement of the catch member between its operative and inoperative positions; a keeper member mounted on the body so as to be movable between a keeper position in which to engage the lever so as to hold that lever in said first position and a release position in which to permit pivoting movement of the lever; and keeper actuator means to control the position of the keeper member.
In order that the invention may be more fully explained, one particular embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a latch mechanism constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section on the line 2--2 in FIG. 1 taken through the latch mechanism as installed in the frame of a door;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section generally similar to that of FIG. 2 but showing the mechanism in a different condition;
FIG. 4 is a cross-section on the line 4--4 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a cross-section on the line 5--5 in FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a lever from the latch mechanism;
FIG. 7 is a scrap perspective view of a part of the latch mechanism which includes a keeper member;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a pivoting catch member from the mechanism;
FIG. 9 is a cross-section showing a modification which can be incorporated in the mechanism and is to be contrasted with FIG. 2;
FIG. 10 is a partly sectioned elevation of the mechanism showing in particular the heat responsive locking means incorporated in the mechanism in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 11 is a partly sectioned end elevation of the mechanism.
As illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 9 of the drawings, the mechanism is identical to that described in our aforesaid patent application and its mode of operation is the same. However, for the sake of complete disclosure the detailed description of the mechanism is repeated herein.
The mechanism is indicated generally as 11 and is designed for installation in a door frame 12 to cooperate with a conventional dead-lock 13 fitted to a door 14 mounted within the frame. More particularly, mechanism 11 includes a catch member 16 which can cooperate with the spring loaded bolt 17 of the lock 13 to provide a locking function. However, this catch member 16 can be pivoted to an inoperative position so as to release bolt 17 and permit the door to open. The condition of catch member 16 is controlled by an electric solenoid included in the mechanism.
Mechanism 11 has a body 15 comprised of a hollow casing 18 and a front plate 22. Casing 18 includes a removable side plate 19 held in position by screws 23 and it is fastened to front plate 22 by means of screws 21. Body 15 has a lower relatively deep slot 25 to register with the bolt 17 of lock 13 and door 14 swings to its closed position and an upper relatively short slot 26 to register with the dead lock actuator bar 27 of the lock 13 as will be more fully explained below.
Catch member 16 is mounted across slot 25. More particularly, it is pivotally mounted on a pivot pin 28 which traverses slot 25 and extends into holes in casing wall portions 30, 35 which define upper and lower walls of the slot. It is shaped generally as a long bar of L-shaped transverse cross-section, one limb 31 of which is mounted on the pivot pin 28 and the other limb 32 of which serves as the catch for lock bolt 17. Limb 31 has a bore 33 extending through it to receive pivot pin 28 and is counter-bored at each end to provide end recesses 34 to house a pair of torsion springs 36 disposed about pin 28. Springs 36 have short end arms 37 which project into slots 38 formed in the walls of recesses 34 of catch member 16 and rather longer arms 38 which react against the side wall 40 of casing 18. They bias catch member 16 toward the position shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 in which position the flat end surface 45 of its limb 31 abuts the casing side wall 40 to limit pivoting movement and its limb 32 is generally parallel with wall 40 and can serve as a catch for the spring loaded lock bolt 17. This is most clearly illustrated in FIG. 4 in which the phantom lines indicate the position of the door and the lock bolt as the door approaches the fully closed position and the full lines show the position of these components when the door is fully closed. The outer end of limb 32 of the catch member is chamfered to provide a sloping striker face 41 which is struck by the lock bolt as the door is closed to force the lock bolt back against its spring loading. As the door reaches its fully closed position the lock bolt is forced outwardly by its spring loading to locate behind the side face 42 of catch limb 32. At the same time the dead lock actuator bar 27 of the lock enters slot 26 and strikes a ramp surface 55 formed in front plate 22 at the end of the slot so as to be actuated to move the dead lock pin within the lock in the usual manner.
As will be described below catch member 16 can be locked in position so that face 42 of its limb 32 acts as a locking face to prevent opening of the door. However, catch member can be released so that it can be pivoted about pivot pin 28 to allow release of the door in the manner shown in FIG. 5. The locking and release of catch member 16 is achieved through a detent mechanism comprised of a lever 43 and a keeper member 44 which is controlled by means of a solenoid 46.
Lever 43 is in the form of a long bar provided at one end with a bore 48 to receive a pivot pin 47 by which it is pivotally mounted on casing 18. It is disposed within casing 18 immediately behind catch member 16 and it extends longitudinally of the catch member. More specifically, it is arranged to engage the outer corner part 49 of the catch member at the junction between the two limbs 31, 32. This outer corner part of the catch member serves as a cam to engage lever 43 and pivot it about its pivot pin 47 when catch member 16 is pivoted between its operative and inoperative positions. It has a cam surface 51 which is cylindrically curved about the pivot axis of catch member 16 and a leading cam edge 52 which subtends an angle of rather more than 90� to surface 51.
Lever 43 is biased into firm engagement with catch member 16 by two helical compression springs 53 acting directly between the lever and a rear wall portion 54 of casing 18. It is formed from rectangular bar stock so as to have flat front and side faces 56, 57 but one corner edge 58 is relieved by a saw-tooth notch 59 to form a flat triangular cam face 61 which engages the leading cam edge 52 of catch member 16 when the catch member is in its operative position. This condition of the catch member 16 and lever 43 is illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 4. It will be seen that lever 43, although extending generally longitudinally of catch member 16, subtends a slight acute angle to it and its triangular cam face 61 lies flat against an end part of cam edge 52. Keeper member 44 acts to enable lever 43 to be locked in this condition or released according to the supply of electrical signals to solenoid 46.
Keeper member 44 is shaped generally as a bell crank. It has two mutually perpendicular arms 62, 63 and is pivotally mounted on body 18 by a pivot pin 64. Its arm 62 is transverse to lever 43 and has a notch 66 to engage the outer end of the lever so as to provide a detent action holding the lever in the position shown in FIG. 2. Notch 66 is generally of saw-tooth shape to define a sloping catch face 67 and the outer end of lever 43 is notched at 68 so as to be shaped as a tooth having a tooth face 69 to engage the catch face 67 of the keeper arm.
Keeper member 44 may be held in its keeping position shown in FIG. 2 by the action of solenoid 46. This solenoid has a coil 71 wound on a body 72 about a central core 73. It is mounted in casing 18 so that when energized its magnetized core will attract the outer end of actuator arm 63 of keeper member 44 to hold the keeper member in its keeping position.
Its core is connected to a mild steel backing plate 50 which extends close to the outer end of arm 63 so as to direct magnetic flux through the keeper member and thus increase the attractive force of the solenoid. As shown in FIG. 2 a slight clearance is maintained between the solenoid core and arm 63 to prevent sticking when the solenoid is de-energized.
Keeper member 44 is biased away from its keeping position by a biasing spring 74. This spring has a coiled portion 76 looped around the keeper member pivot pin 64 and two end arms 77, 78 which are engaged respectively with the casing 18 and a hole in keeper arm 62.
When solenoid 46 is energized it holds the keeper member in its keeping position against the action of biasing spring 74. However, when solenoid 46 is de-energized spring 74 acts to pivot keeper member 44 to the position shown in FIG. 3 in which its actuator arm 63 is held against an adjustable stop screw 74 and its keeper arm 62 is drawn away from keeping engagement with the outer end of lever 43. The only action then holding catch member 16 in its catch position is that provided by springs 53 acting on lever 43. However, because of the cam action between lever 43 and cam portion 49 of the catch member only a light force is needed on catch member 16 to pivot it away from its operative position to force lever 43 back against its biasing springs to the inoperative position shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. At the start of such movement of the catch member its cam edge 52 acts on the triangular cam face 61 of lever 43 to force the lever backwardly against its biasing springs until the cylindrical curved cam surface 51 can engage the flat front face 56 of the lever as shown in FIG. 5.
The rear part of casing 18 has a compartment 81 which houses a micro-switch 82 the actuator 83 of which is engaged by a bracket 84 on lever 43 when the lever is moved consequent to pivoting of catch member 16 to its inoperative position.
Electrical leads from solenoid 46 and micro-switch 82 are connected within casing 18 to a terminal block 86 which is located partly within compartment 82 but extends rearwardly through an opening in the back wall 87 of the casing and is fitted outside the casing with a series of terminals 88 for connection to external wiring.
The catch mechanism illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 8 will operate to hold the door locked for so long as solenoid 46 is energized. By de-energizing the solenoid, catch member 16 is freed and the door can be opened. The mechanism has a wide range of applications. For example it may be used in a fire door installation in order to maintain a fire door in a normally locked condition but to release the door in response to a signal created by a smoke or heat detector acting through any suitable relay to interrupt the supply of power to solenoid 46. In other applications the supply of power to solenoid 46 may be interrupted by operation of a push button located inside a building or by a signal derived from a reader device in response to a magnetically coded key or card. Micro-switch 82 may be used to derive a warning or alarm signal each time that the door is opened.
FIG. 9 illustrates a modification by which the mechanism is adapted to keep a door locked when the solenoid is de-energized and releases the door when the solenoid receives an electrical signal. The components of the mechanism are not altered but the setting of spring 74 is altered to bias keeper member 44 toward its keeping position and solenoid 46 is displaced through 90� from its previous position so as to act directly on keeper arm 62 rather than on arm 63 of the keeper member. The re-setting of biasing spring 74 involves insertion of its arm 77 in a hole drilled in arm 63 instead of in the hole in arm 62 and the other spring arm 78 acts against a different part of casing 18. In this case keeper arm 62 is normally held by spring 76 in keeping engagement with the upper end of lever 43 by the action of spring 74 but is lifted to free the lever when solenoid 46 is energized. Stop screw 78 is set to engage arm 63 of keeper member 44 before arm 62 can engage the solenoid core so that even when the solenoid is energized there will be a slight clearance between its core and arm 62.
Mechanism 11 is set into a recess 91 in door frame 12 and may be held in position by conventional wood screws passed through counter-sunk holes 92 in front plate 22. A groove 93 may be formed in the door frame to receive the projecting part of terminal block 86 and the external wiring.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 side plate 19 of casing 18 has an inturned lip 96 which abuts cam surface 51 of catch member 16 and as the catch member pivots the cylindrical surface 51 simply slides on lip 96. Thus, contact is maintained between catch member 16 and lip 96 at all times to seal off the interior of the casing and prevent tampering by insertion of an instrument between the catch member and the casing.
FIGS. 10 and 11 show the heat responsive locking means which is incorporated in the mechanism in accordance with the present invention. This locking means comprises a stainless steel pin or plunger 101 which is located within a cavity 102 in catch member 16 and is biased by a helical compression spring 103 located within the cavity. Cavity 102 is in the form of a deep cylindrical hole drilled in the outer corner part 49 of catch member 16 to extend parallel with the pivot axis of the catch member. It has an enlarged mouth 104 at one end of the catch member and this mouth is closed by a plug 105 of white metal which will melt at a selected temperature. The enlarged mouth of the cavity may be internally screw threaded and the plug may be in the form of a white metal grub screw with a driving slot 110 to screw into the threaded mouth.
In normal service of the mechanism plug 105 retains plunger 101 within cavity 102 with biasing spring 103 held in a compressed condition. The casing wall portion 35 of the body 15 is provided with a recess 106 at such a location that it registers with the plugged cavity 102 of the catch member when the catch member is in the operative position shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. Recess 106 may be formed by drilling a hole through casing wall portion 35 and then plugging the outer end of this hole with a plug 107 held in place by a transverse pin 108.
During normal service of the mechanism the locking means illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11 is inoperative. However, plug 105 has a much lower fusing temperature than the other parts of the mechanism such as the body 15, catch member 16 and plunger 101 which may all be made of high melting temperature steels. Thus, if a fire should occur and cause heating of the mechanism, plug 105 will melt at such a stage that plunger 101 will be extended under the influence of biasing spring 103 to enter recess 106 in casing wall portion 35 and so provide locking interengagement between catch member 16 and the body of the mechanism. The catch member will then be locked in the operative or locking position regardless of the electrical or physical condition of the other components of the mechanism.
The composition of white metal plug 105 is chosen to have a fusing temperature appropriate to the particular application. This temperature will generally be in the range of 300�-900� F so that when the plug melts there would normally be no survivors within the space closed by the fire door. Thus, the design will be such that the mechanism can be released electrically to open the door during conditions when people may have to escape through the door but the catch member subsequently becomes permanently locked in position even should the electrical components be burned out and the lever and keeper mechanism be damaged. The dead lock 13 can, of course, always be operated manually to provide for emergency exit.
Since the mechanism is designed to be used with fire doors, casing 18 and front plate 22 are both constructed of stainless steel. Catch member 15 is an investment casting of non-magnetic stainless steel. Lever 43 is also made of non-magnetic stainless steel and keeper member 44 is made of a magnetic steel.
The illustrated mechanism has been advanced by way of example only and it could be modified considerably. For example, although the illustrated arrangement of a lever and keeper arm is preferred in order to allow a very compact and robust mechanism other actuator means are possible. Australian patent specification No. 426,474 describes one alternative in which a lever which normally holds the catch member in its operative position is acted on directly by an electromagnet. It is to be understood that the heat responsive locking means of the present invention may be fitted to such mechanisms and accordingly that many variations will fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Widespread Linux Practice May Violate License
A common practice among embedded Linux developers almost certainly violates the Linux license, according to research conducted by software attorneys Jay Michaelson and Christopher Holst. Wasabi Systems Inc., a leading provider of embedded operating systems, today released a white paper entitled Closed-Source Loadable Kernel Modules Violate the GPL, which is the second in a series of white papers focusing on the myths and facts about open source licensing.
he latest white paper discusses the issue of Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs), a method commonly used by Linux developers to circumvent the requirement that modified Linux code be shared with the public. Although Michaelson notes that there are many legitimate uses of LKMs, the code they contain would otherwise be part of the kernel and compiled along with it. In that case, the source code to these LKMs would have to be made public according to the terms of Linux's license, the GNU General Public License (GPL). By dynamically loading the code later, developers claim that it is not part of the GPL-covered kernel - a claim refuted by Michaelson and Holst.

OVER THE YEARS, I'VE HAD many live rigs. In my early club
days, it was a guitar through a
single one-channel amp. But in
the '80s and early '90s, my rig
had expanded to one of those
elaborate, multi-amp switching
systems. Huge "refrigerators"
containing multiple amp heads
linked with a wall of rack gear
are rare at present, but these systems
are emulated somewhat in
today's digital multi-effects, and
some players may still embrace
the era of overly abundant tonal
options. Well, here's a cautionary
In the early '90s, my monster
rig was the victim of a disaster
moments before a concert at the
Key Club in Los Angeles. I used
a massive switching system with
two 16-space racks controlled by
a state-of-the-art, custom-built
switching board. I used MIDI to
change the effects—not only for
each song, but for each section
of a song! My reverbs, delays,
and modulation effects would
change from verse to chorus to
solo. Amps would be switched
in and out of the various loops,
and all 16 songs in the set were
programmed into the rig's 99
Well, after soundcheck, one
of the stagehands accidentally
tripped over the main power
cable that supplied AC to the rack
system. In an instant, the entire
rig shut off and turned back on.
At first, everything seemed to
work, but I soon realized that
every one of my 99 presets were
gone. Hours of programming
timed stereo delays, pre-delayed
reverbs, rapid-fire tremolo effects,
bizarre backwards sounds, and
more were down the drain. But
my biggest problem was that I
had a show to do in 90 minutes.
Luckily, I kept an emergency
backup kit with extra cables, a
tuner, some tubes and fuses for
amps, a Tube Screamer TS-9 and
a Cry Baby wah in my car. I was
able to MacGyver together a rig
using a 2-channel, 60-watt Jim
Kelley head, the tuner, and the
TS-9. I used the amp's dirty
channel for my crunch tones,
and the Tube Screamer to saturate
the solo tone a bit more.
Far from a tragedy, this was an
important day in my life. I realized
I didn't need all that gear
to sound good. The sound was
in my hands, and I was much
better off if I actually understood
my own signal path and could
trace down potential show-stopping
problems myself. In addition,
people came up after that
show and said, "You've never
sounded better." That was a
big clue the days of listening to
chorus, reverb, and delay effects
were over. I decided then that it
was better to have two amazing
sounds than 99 decent sounds.
It's also a lesson that you
can learn. The astounding
number of available sounds at a
guitarist's fingertips these days
is almost frightening, and the
options can prevent you from,
well, playing. But if you keep
in mind what I learned at the
Key Club—trust your fingers,
follow your ears, and, in a sense,
avoid distractions—you should
always be able to step on stage
and unleash some good sounds
and great playing.

Upbeat Martinez has made us believe, says Everton midfielder Osman
Would Everton be serious challengers for a Champions League place had David Moyes still been in charge rather than Roberto Martinez?
If Everton beat Arsenal on Sunday they will move to within a point of Arsene Wenger's side with a game in hand in the race for fourth.
Leon Osman, who has spent his entire career with Everton, says the Spaniard's upbeat demeanour and focus on possession football has been a contrast to his predecessor, whose priority was being hard to beat.
Confident: Leon Osman is enjoying his time under Roberto Martinez at Everton
'Our new manager has a lot of self-belief that you can't help but buy into,' said the 32-year-old midfielder.
'The way we train every day under him gives us a confidence to go out there and express ourselves. Coming to the crunch part of the season that kind of thing is going to be very important.
'I'm not going to sit here and say I didn't enjoy my time playing before because I always enjoyed playing for the club. But any footballer would tell you that it is a lot more enjoyable having the ball than not having it.
'Ultimately it is about winning games and you could be without the ball for 89 minutes, score a goal and be happier than if you had the ball and lost.
'But if you can put the two together, of retaining lots of possession and winning games, any footballer would say that is more enjoyable.'
Upbeat: Everton are pushing for top four finish under Martinez
Everton seem to have found the right combination at the moment, winning their last five league games and scoring 12 goals in the process. It has delighted their loyal fans who worried that losing Moyes to Manchester United would end a decade during which the club were thought to have punched above their weight.
Instead, results have actually improved. Martinez has done little to alter the back five built by Moyes, and Tim Howard, Seamus Coleman, Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin and Leighton Baines have all been outstanding.
It is
further up the pitch that a difference has been noticed. The loan
signing of striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea has allowed skilled technicians such as Osman, young England international Ross Barkley and
Barcelona loanee Gerard Deulofeu to flourish.
When Everton won at
Old Trafford in December, Martinez's pre-season prediction that his
side were capable of finishing in the top four no longer looked wildly
optimistic. Osman explained: 'We felt that we were capable of finishing
high up the table even before the new manager came in.
'But he then
added a couple of new faces and he was so adamant we could really
challenge. What the manager has done is put all those ingredients
'There's no lack of belief here in terms of what we think we can achieve. It's just whether we can go out and do it on the pitch in the final few games.
Inspired: The signing of Romelu Lukaku has allowed the likes of Osman and Ross Barkley to flourish
'People probably thought there would be a transitional period when the new manager came in, and that probably did lead to a bit of a slow start in our first three or four games. But since we got to know the manager a bit better, probably faster than anyone expected, we have done really well.'
If the dream is realised,
nobody will deserve it more than Osman, a slow burner of a player who
did not make his debut for England until he turned 30 and has been
awarded a testimonial by Everton this summer.
Everton did finish
fourth once under Moyes, in 2005, but their hard-working team,
epitomised by midfield grafters Lee Carsley and Tim Cahill, were beaten
by Villarreal in a Champions League qualifier before they could play in
the real thing.
Now Osman says the current squad are better prepared to cope with Europe's elite if they do pip Arsenal for fourth.
Improvement: Osman believes Everon are better equipped now than under David Moyes
'No disrespect to the 2005 side, what we achieved was fantastic but we were a team out of possession,' he said.
basically let the opposition have the ball, defend, and score on the
counter-attack. We managed to finish fourth on the back of it but
couldn't make the next step the season after.
'Teams gave us a lot
more respect the following season and we weren't as capable on the ball.
We weren't able to break teams down and change our game.
'Right now we are all about possession and opening teams, but being patient in doing so.
'If we manage to achieve it this year we will be in a much stronger position.
'This game is pivotal. Arsenal are currently in the fourth Champions League spot but if we've got genuine aspirations about overtaking them in the table, then we have got to win.'
To combat over-confidence, Everton's 4-1 FA Cup defeat at The Emirates in March really hurt.
Osman is currently Everton's second-longest-serving player behind Tony Hibbert. His benefit match will raise funds for two of his favourite charities and is due to take place next pre-season.
He will not mind if it has to be fitted around a Champions League qualifier.

There have been five shutouts pitched in the International League this season, and Rochester right-hander Yohan Pino has two of them, despite making only three starts.
The 29-year-old journeyman has jumped between starting and relieving for the Red Wings but may have earned himself a few more starts by going the distance in a 2-0 win over the Louisville Bats on Saturday afternoon.
Pino (5-0) struck out four and limited Louisville to three hits without walking a batter. He needed 93 pitches, including 70 strikes, throwing first-pitch strikes to 25 of 29 batters.
"It's all about getting strike one," Rochester pitching coach Marty Mason said. "He did that mostly with the fastball today. He mixed a few off-speed pitches in there, but mostly, out of those 29 first pitches, probably 25 of them were fastballs. It was all about attacking the zone."
Pino blew through the Bats lineup without allowing a baserunner over the first four innings. He allowed a pair of singles in the fifth, but Thomas Neal was caught in a two-out rundown between third and home to end the threat. Pino worked cleanly through the sixth and seventh, pitched around a leadoff double in the eighth, then recorded three groundouts in the ninth to complete the gem.
The Venezuela native entered the season with three shutouts during a nine-year career that began in the Twins system but also included stops with affiliates of the Indians, Blue Jays and Reds. He's never appeared in the Major Leagues but is knocking on the door with a 0.84 ERA in seven Triple-A appearances, including a 0.45 ERA in his three starts.
Pino's been asked to pitch as a starter and reliever based on team need, logging a pair of relief outings early in the season before getting to start on April 12 and April 17 -- both doubleheaders. In the latter outing, he blanked Pawtucket for a seven-inning complete game, scattering two hits and three walks while striking out four.
The veteran right-hander returned to the 'pen for two more outings, fanning six over 3 2/3 scoreless frames against Charlotte on April 27 before getting the start on Saturday.
"I think it's just his mental approach to the game," Mason said of Pino's ability to alternate roles effectively. "He's a guy that is going to approach every day like it's his last.
"It's a credit to him and his mental toughness. He's been around the game a while. He has experience. Hopefully, he'll get a chance to go to the next level."
In the meantime, Pino will continue to plug holes and serve as a leader on a Red Wings staff that includes Twins No. 3 prospect Alex Meyer and No. 12 prospect Trevor May. Pino played a direct role in Meyer's development by showing him a new changeup grip earlier this season, and Mason said he's also influenced the pair with his performance on the mound.
"We always say, 'The mentors are your peers,'" Mason said. "When Pino does stuff like he's been doing, guys like Meyer and May, they pay attention. That's what we preach in our organization: Attack the zone, get ahead, first-pitch strikes, keep the ball on the ground.
"Certainly, when a guy like Pino does that, it can get to be a little contagious. Hopefully, the kids are paying attention."
