Super Bowl 2014 is a few hours away with the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks set for kickoff at 6.30 p.m. ET at MetLife stadium in New Jersey. As the Examiner previously reported, the football action is great, but it is the halftime show that gets most people excited. From the halftime show featuring Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to all the Super Bowl commercials airing throughout the game, there is something for everyone.
In just one game, fans get to watch Scarlett Johansson, David Beckham, Lawrence Fishburne and many others tackle everything from sodastream to the underwear and the "Matrix." And of course Budweiser will be sure to pull the emotional strings with its Puppy ad.
For those not interested in the Super Bowl halftime entertainment, other channels are happy to fill in the time gap with other Bowls, including the Puppy Bowl, Kitten Bowl, Fish Bowl, and even the Zombie Bowl, according to the Bleacher Report.
The Puppy Bowl is back on Animal Planet on Feb. 2 – 3 from 2:00 p.m. ET to 4:00 a.m. ET. For those following their favorite breeds, the Puppy Bowl is back for its 10th season with its adorable lineup including "terrier tackles, touchdowns, puppy penalties, fumbles and Fido first downs," according to AnimalPlanet.com.
No channel pulls the strings like Hallmark, and the Kitten Bowl is the perfect option to both the Super Bowl game and Bruno Mars' halftime show. It airs Feb. 2-3 from 12:00 p.m. ET to 12:00 a.m. ET on Hallmark. According to Hallmark channel, the Kitten Bowl is hosted, in association with "the North Shore Animal League America, will be hosted by TV personality and activist Beth Stern, and emceed by John Sterling, the legendary radio voice of the New York Yankees."
If that is not enough encouragement to watch, it adds, "'Kitten Bowl' is the greatest feline showdown in cable television history. The competition will consist of two preliminary playoffs and a championship match. Along with basic obstacle courses of hurdles, tunnels, hoops, jumps, weave poles, lasers, lures and toys on strings, 'Kitten Bowl' will feature clever locker room strategies, player profiles and 'interviews,' and camera work and audio recordings from the athletes as they play the game!"
Nature enthusiasts will go gaga for National Geographic Wild's Fish Bowl event, which has been helmed as a "Global Television Event," featuring Goldie the goldfish, who "will swim about her daily business in an actual fishbowl. Without filters and with remarkable candor, Goldie navigates through an average day in the life of a goldfish." It airs on Sunday, Feb. 2 from 6:00 p.m. ET to 10:00 p.m. ET on National Geographic Wild.
Leave it to AMC to compete with puppies, kittens and football by offering the Zombie Bowl. "The Walking Dead" fans can catch up on the hit series before the Feb. 9 season premiere with a marathon viewing session on Feb. 2-3 from 9:00 a.m. ET to 5:00 a.m. ET on AMC.

Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G is headed to Rogers in Canada
The Samsung Infuse will not be an AT&T exclusive for long, it seems. MobileSyrup has found out that the Android superphone is also headed up north, and will be sold by Rogers in Canada at some point.
Unfortunately, details about an exact release date as well as pricing information are not available at this time. However, it is clear that this device will be sold by Rogers. And it will have a rather convoluted name too – Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G – a mouthful.
It looks like it's the exact same handset that AT&T sells in the US, which means it has a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus Gorilla Glass capacitive touchscreen with 480×800 resolution, a 1.2 GHz processor, 16 GB of internal storage space, microSD card support, an 8 MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash and 720p HD video recording, a front-facing 1.3 MP camera for video calls, 21 Mbps HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 1750 mAh battery. The AT&T Infuse 4G runs Android 2.2 Froyo. Let's hope the Canadian version launches with a newer version of the operating system.

The All New HTC One will be available in the UK on March 25, the day of its announcement
HTC has a very important event in exactly one week from today. On March 25, the Taiwanese smartphone maker will finally unveil the "all new" One, its flagship smartphone for this year. However, this announcement will likely contain absolutely no surprises, as the new HTC One has been leaked literally dozens of times already. We know its specs, we know what it will look like, we basically already know everything about it.
So how could HTC make March 25 a memorable day for the tech world? Well, apparently by actually releasing the smartphone on that same day. Carphone Warehouse, the UK's biggest third party mobile phone retailer, has just announced that it will start selling the new HTC One on March 25 at around 4 pm UK time.
This will only happen in "selected stores", namely six Carphone Warehouse stores in London. Westfield Stratford, Westfield White City, Oxford Circus, Centrepoint and Tottenham Court Road, as well as the Carphone Warehouse at Selfridges.
Limited as it may be, this launch will happen merely minutes after the official unveiling event is over, something even Apple has never managed to do so far. Though it's unclear right now whether this is going to be a UK-only thing, a Carphone-only thing, or if HTC will have the same strategy in more markets. Regardless, it's a nice feat to pull, and we may even see a person or two queuing for the new One next week.

For the second consecutive year at the event, Baker will recognize current NAIA All-Americans, All-America Scholar-Athletes and all-Heart of America Athletic Conference performers.
Three Hall of Fame inductees — Taylor Gill, Class of 1983; Phil Hannon, '86; Liesel Kirk-Fink, '02 — will be recognized at halftime of the homecoming game against Avila on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Liston Stadium. Former football coach Joe Girardi will be inducted posthumously.
Here's a look at the Hall of Fame class for 2012:
Taylor Gill, '83
Taylor Gill in 1978 was a freshman on Baker's first bowl team, earning the team's co-freshman of the year honors, and was a member of back-to-back conference titles in 1979 and 1980. A four-year letterman in football, Gill led the Wildcats in rushing his sophomore and senior seasons, finishing with 35 touchdowns and 3,049 rushing yards, the most yardage in Baker history at the time. He was an all-conference and all-district performer his senior year when he ranked eighth nationally in rushing in the NAIA.
Since graduating from Baker, Gill has worked nearly 30 years in the actuarial business. He currently is the vice president, health services actuarial with Wellpoint Inc.
Phil Hannon, '86
With ties to the Baker University since 1983, Phil Hannon has served as head coach of the Baker baseball team since July 1999. Hannon played minor league baseball in the Chicago Cubs organization for five years, reaching the AA level in 1990, and coached and managed at the minor league level for three years. As a student-athlete at Baker, Hannon started and lettered all four years as a wide receiver for the football team and as a center fielder for the baseball team while earning a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1986. In addition to his baseball coaching duties, Hannon also serves as coordinator of outdoor facilities.
Leisel Kirk-Fink, '02
A standout cross country and track performer at Baker, Leisel Kirk-Fink was a two-time All-America cross country performer and outdoor track All-American. She was recognized as Baker's female athlete of the year her senior year. Fink is a Realtor and sales director for Kirk & Cobb on Topeka, Kan., where she is active in her children's school activities and community projects, serving on the board leadership training team for the Volunteer Center of Topeka and as the board director for Friends of the Topeka Zoo.
Joe Girardi
Joe Girardi, the Wildcat coach from 1976 to 1979, compiled in four seasons a 25-15-1 record, a .610 winning percentage. He guided Baker to the Boot Hill Bowl in 1978, Baker's first postseason appearance in football.

Why cant right wing bagholders even frame simple arguments without getting the facts wrong?
What you say about 250k comes from the alternate republican universe.
Dont you even know what a marginal rate is? Thats primary school economics.
Hey Onion,
You have made a lot of very useful post on this board and I value your experience and insights greatly. However, I would not use you as my tax man.
A person with a wife and kid who makes $250K per year would have a lot of deductions which would bring his taxable income significantly below $250K. But for the sake of example lets say his deductions come to $30K so his taxable income is $220K. The following are the tax rates and brackets.
0 - 17,900 @ 10% = 1,790
17,900 - 72,500 @ 15% = 8,190
72,500 - 146,400 @ 25% = 18,475
146,400 - 220,000 @ 28% = 20,608
Total = 49,063
A decent tax accountant could get that down even further. If this person had his own business and his total income was $250K there would be even more deduction and ways to shelter his income so that his taxes would be closer to $25K. I'm not an accountant, but I was a small business owner and job creator and the small business owner has significant tax benefits over the average employee. Just saying.
Depends on who you are. I'm a single guy with no kids and no plans on having a family. Cheap/frugal. I can live off 25k a year, so 250k in assets would be enough to set me up for life. (10% yield)
"Expenses rise to meet income." I am married , 2 kids , 1 in state university, 1 in high school.
4 smart phones, 4 cars, cable TV , I go out to eat once a month(maybe). live in a 3000sq ft home.
My son and I both brown bag our lunch.
Question: How much does that lifestyle cost?
I dont think he is talking about tax rates. I think he means that 250k shouldnt be considered rich.
Whatever his point I do agree about what he says 250k buys in our economy.
Onion, Obama agrees that 250,000k income should not be considered rich. Thats why he calls for the marginal rate only above 250k to be adusted back to what it was before bush brought in stupid republican malfeasance.
250k net worth isn't rich. 250k/year income is loaded. unless you live in the Manhattan bubble, where it's a subsistence wage, but they're the problem.
$250K is only a downpayment on a combine. Some of us write checks $500k for ONE piece of equipment. And why you ask was corn over $8 bushel very recently -- if you're a John Deere stockholder you already know the answer to that question.

The Gazette
MEDINA — It was a perfectly executed play at a perfect time. The shot, which came off a perfect pass and would have capped the perfect comeback, was practically perfect, too.
But it didn't go in, the Medina boys basketball team didn't win and all everyone was left to talk about was what could have been Friday night after powerful Shaker Heights escaped with a thrilling 58-55 Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division victory.
Down nine with 1:30 to play and seemingly dead after a 13-0 Shaker Heights (10-2, 4-0) run, the Bees (5-6, 1-3) clawed back to within one and had a chance to win after the Red Raiders' Kash Blackwell was called for stepping on the free throw line before he shot the front end of a one-and-one with 15 seconds left.
Inbounding from the far baseline, the Bees used their last timeout and, when play resumed, executed exactly what coach Anthony Stacey had drawn up.
Six-foot-9 freshman Jon Teske inbounded to 6-1 Billy Geschke, who brought the ball up the floor against the long-armed, 6-5 Blackwell (15 points, 8 rebounds, 4 dunks).
At the top of the key, Geschke (31 points, 4 rebounds) headed left and eventually got a pick from Teske, with 6-7 Shaker Heights sophomore Esa Ahmad (24 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists) showing on the screen to help Blackwell.
Teske then flared to the baseline and took a perfect bounce pass from Geschke that went between both defenders, but had his 10-footer rim out with 3 seconds to go.
"I thought it was going in," Teske said. "It was halfway down. It just didn't drop."
Geschke, whose unbelievable offensive performance gave the Red Raiders every reason to want to get the ball out of his hands, did everything right on the play, including trust his teammate.
"That was an example of the perfect play," the senior said. "The shot just didn't go down.
"Coach Stacey told me they were going to double. Anything Coach Stacey says, I trust him 1.000 percent. Probably even more. He knows everything about basketball there is."
Rosel Hurley (8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists), who completes the smallest part of Shaker Heights' 6-5, 6-6, 6-7 starting front line, rebounded Teske's miss and was fouled with 2.5 ticks on the clock. With both teams out of timeouts, he hit two free throws to make it a 58-55 game.
Medina then threw a long inbounds pass that a Shaker Heights player had a golden opportunity to intercept, only to have it deflect off his hands and continue to go forward.
The ball bounced right to the 15-year-old Teske, who picked it up about 6 feet beyond the 3-point arc, leaned forward and let fly. His potential game-tying shot hit front rim, bounced off the backboard and, after the buzzer had sounded, fell harmlessly to the floor.
"That one I just threw up there hoping for the best," the freshman center said. "It missed by 2 inches."
Despite the loss, the Bees had a lot to feel good about, especially after the way they battled until the bitter end against Shaker Heights, whose losses came against Toledo St. John's when the Red Raiders had multiple players suspended and to a team from Delaware.
"It shows we can compete against any team in Ohio and beat any team in Ohio," said Teske, who had six points and four rebounds.
The Bees led 44-40 when Teske scored on a baby hook with 6:39 to go, but Shaker Heights appeared to have taken total control when the extremely talented Ahmad scored the last six points in a 13-0 spurt that made it 53-44 inside the 2-minute mark.
"Oh, my gosh, he's unbelievable," Geschke said of Ahmad, who was defended admirably by Teske but did a ton of damage after grabbing offensive boards. "He's one of the best big men I've seen in the state of Ohio. To be only a sophomore, that's crazy talent."
Despite Ahmad's performance, the Bees nearly staged a comeback for the ages.
It started when 5-11 sophomore Tyler King, who finished with a career-high 10 points off the bench, hit a 3-pointer to make it 53-47 with 1:16 to play.
Red Raiders point guard Keith Griffin split a pair of free throws, but Geschke canned a pair for Medina to make it 54-49 with 54.2 seconds left.
Following a Shaker Heights turnover, Bees power forward Branden Wilkins (8 points, 11 boards, 3 assists) scored off a rebound at the 35-second mark, which proved to be the beginning of a crazy sequence.
Medina's Dillon Wiesler not only stole the inbounds pass, but, while sailing out of bounds, flung the ball backward right to King, who caught it in the key, jumped, twisted his body, scored and was fouled with 28 seconds still on the clock.
With an opportunity to tie the game, King drew back iron on his free throw, but things got even crazier when the 6-5 Wilkins again grabbed the rebound. Wilkins brought the ball down to his waist and appeared to get tied up — Shaker Heights had the possession arrow — but instead was called for walking with 24.9 seconds remaining.
Blackwell canned both ends of a one-and-one to put Shaker Heights up 56-53 with 23.4 ticks on the clock, but Geschke — he had 13 points in the first 6 minutes as Medina took an 18-7 lead — answered with two at the 17.2-second mark to set up the even wilder finish.
"Billy was amazing," Teske said of Geschke. "He kept us in the ballgame the whole game."
Teske had a chance to win it, but his shot was not quite perfect.
"Jon makes that shot nine out of 10 times," Stacey said. "The kid's a freshman, but he's not afraid to take that shot. The ball was halfway down. He's going to make a ton of those in his career."
|The Bees played without starting point guard Logan Winkler, who fractured his nose and received six stitches after being elbowed a week earlier. Winkler is scheduled to visit the doctor Monday. There's a chance he could play that night, with a mask, against Normandy.l Medina lost the junior varsity game 58-50 despite 11 points from Spencer Koch and 10 each from Evan Schreck and A.C. Schreiber.
l The Bees got drilled 45-25 in the freshman game. Deshawn Dawson had six points for Medina.

Dr. Limerick is one of most noted, and most controversial, of the American West's "new historians."

Community Viz demo with Randy Russell
Senses of Place
How we shape, and are shaped by, where we live
Can geographic information systems, sophisticated computer programs for everyone from developers to planners to community activists, and the planning process in general really help us create Stegner's "society to match our scenery" here in the beautiful valleys of the Headwaters region?
People interested in intelligent community development will consider that question at a Friday afternoon session of Headwaters XII — following a public demonstration of Community Viz, perhaps the most sophisticated planning program available today.
Over the years Headwaters has taught us a lot about how we imprint our culture and values on place. We've learned from presenters like Devon Pena that "Eurocentric Mapping" dislocated early Hispanic traditions of a shared sense of property and the surroundings. We've learned that Brigham Young brought a strong Jeffersonian tradition to defining town sites and irrigation projects, and laid them out with an imprint left on this land. John Wesley Powell cautioned us about importing eastern continental values to this arid place and our methods of settling it, and Nathan Meeker paid the price for trying to impose those values on the native inhabitants and a heavy-handed redefinition of their horse racing grounds. And we all struggle with an "Atlas of Place" that defines where we are, who we are, what we inhabit, and how we capture and share that in making decisions about change.
Our sense of "Mapping" and property rights is one of the defining things that now shape these valleys and our future in them. We make "Land Use" decisions daily and weekly, as part of a local governmental process that we've crafted in our own culture and society and refined over time. That process is now filling our valleys, crowding our roads, and causes us to confront our values as we weigh individual rights versus community rights at every turn and decision-making point
I think it's fair to say we do that fairly well on a case-by-case basis in increments. It's also fair to say we don't do that well looking at cumulative long-term impacts on the larger place, or incorporating community values into that decision making.
So we craft new tools to do that, and we'll be exploring one that is very powerful at this year's gathering. The Orton Family Foundation has developed some software called Community Viz, which will be demonstrated Friday afternoon. It allows local communities and watersheds to map their place together, assemble all of the G.I.S. data from their own research and neighboring government land agencies, and use that as an interactive tool to look at any impacts from a proposed project or policy decision. It's the future analysis tool and it's here.
Is it an "Atlas of Place" that we can use together? Only if we make it so, and consider together what can't be mapped well but has to be part of the decision-making process. It isn't that we can't map "sacred places" or values, shifts, trends, or our important senses of place, opportunities and preservation. But perhaps we lack the skill and political will to do that well while the technology will do an excellent job on the quantifiable things that also drive those decision-making processes.
That's the discussion Friday afternoon, and it should be rich!

Senses of Place
How we shape, and are shaped by, where we live
Note carefully the conference title: "Senses of Place," not "Sense of Place."
So what's the difference? "Sense of place" tends to be one of those Humpty-Dumpty phrases that means exactly what the user wants it to mean — and whether it is a realtor trying to sell you a piece of property, or a New Ager wanting you to establish a hotline with Mother Earth, someone invoking "sense of place" probably wants to invoke something warm and fuzzy in you.
Asking you to consider "Senses of Place," on the other hand, is a more descriptive and hopefully more useful exercise, about the complex interactions between people and geography, nature and human nature, perception and whatever passes for reality.
"Place" must probably be considered an unabashedly anthropomorphic concept. A piece of geography only becomes a "place" when a human or group of humans have established some kind of a conscious and meaningful (to them) relationship with it. Wallace Stegner said that "no place is a place until it has had a poet." Wendell Berry and others might want to modify that with an observation that different people work out their poetry in different ways — some with a pen, some with a plow.
At last year's Headwaters, Jennifer Cross described five types of relationships that people develop with places:
Biographical — when the person or group has a personal history with the place, long enough for experiences and memories there to become part of an individual or community identity.
Spiritual — when a relationship develops, sometimes immediately, that is "more of a soul connection than an emotional, cognitive, or material connection to the place."
Ideological — when the relationship is "founded on conscious values and beliefs about how humans should relate to physical places. For some, this comes in the form of religious teachings."
Commodified — when the relationship is "based on the comparison of a person's image of the ideal community with the physical attributes of a community — often "to things or commodities like upscale restaurants and boutiques, and the natural environment, rather than to... relationships with other people."
Dependent — when the relationship is "the result of having either no choice or severe limitations on choice," as when spouses and children have to follow breadwinners to where the work is.
It is also important to think of the "senses of place" that precede us into the geography that we are going to make "our place." What does it mean, for example, to think of one's "place" as "a piece of property" — a place separated from the whole by the concept of personal ownership, defined by abstract lines on an abstracted image of the place, and legally considered a place where one can exercise relatively free rein in what one does? This certainly pre-imposes a certain sensibility on all of the places occupied by today's dominant culture. Geographer Phil Crossley will look at how the way we choose to "map" empowers some ideas and disenfranchises others.
It is worth remembering that not all cultures have entered the region with that "sense of place" preceding them. Sage Remington of the Souther Utes and Aaron Abeyta of the San Luis valley will participate in a cross-cultural discussion to look at how other non-Anglo cultures have "shaped and been shaped by" Headwaters geography.
Cultural beliefs also often impose an "imported" sense of what a place ought to be, irrespective of what it actually might be. We say, for example, that to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In the same way, to an entire people possessed of the belief that "farmers are God's chosen people," every place is going to look (sooner or later, by God) like a farm.
When Brigham Young, for example, looked over the strip of high desert lying between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake and said, "This is the place," the place he was seeing wasn't the desert but the desert blooming as a thousand irrigated farms, and that happened — after great transformative efforts, now mostly overridden by a growing city.
This "shaping" is often more subtle. Biologist Kevin Alexander will look at how we changed fish species in the mountain valleys for economic reasons. Historian Laura McCall will explore how "looking good" is more based on economics than aesthetics, and political scientist Frank Coleman will look at the general commodification of "scenery." Writer Ed Quillen will look at how towns grew or died based on decisions about where railroads would run.
At the other extreme from those whose initial sense of a place results in the place becoming something other than what it was, there are those whose initial sense of a piece of geography is a preconceived vision of "the way things should be," and who immediately vow to do all that they can to see that the place never changes at all from that time forward, as though the place were a picture made complete by the arrival of its most recent viewer.
Most of us lack the overweening vision, purity and chutzpah to come into a place as either full-blown "Users" or "Savers," as Gary Snyder characterized the extreme types. Nevertheless, we each come with a load of cultural baggage that delineates our sense of what we want to do or think we can do there, while at the same time we see things in our place-to-be that we want to keep.
And as we settle in, in our unsettling way, the rest of the community of life in the place — the host of plants and animals and humans already there — shifts, moves over, moves around, gets sick from the stress, gets well in some revised way, and generally tries to adapt to our presence. And we adapt too — give up fighting for this crop or this breed of cow or against that "weed" or pest; we let the spruce reclaim the land where grass won't grow; in general, we see, and allow ourselves to be shaped by, whatever remains of what was going on in the place when we arrived.
And so the geography becomes a place, our place. The freedom that is supposed accompany ownership of property becomes modified in discovering the responsibilities that go with stewardship of place. Out of the shared spaces emerge "sacred places" — places making us realize it would be better to change the way we live than to change the place. Anyone who stays long enough can become a poet of a place; it's just being patient enough to take the dictation.
How to better articulate our evolved senses of the places we know, in order to hold them up before the new waves of "unsettlers" coming with their preconceived senses of what these places should be — that's our purpose at the 12th Headwaters Conference. See you in November!
— George Sibley, Coordinator

Register of despatches from US consulate offices in Cardiff between 1861-1906 and in Swansea between 1892-1906. There are 6 reels of microfilm for Cardiff despatches and 1 microfilm reel for Swansea. These consular despatches are reports from U.S. consular representatives to the State Department.
The despatches cover all aspects of US diplomacy, such as: relations with foreign nationals; instructions and reports on economic, political or social conditions; treaties and arrangements; the protection of US citizens and interests abroad; reports on natural disasters; and activities of US citizens or officials. They also include copies of correspondence from various sources including other consuls, local government officials, private citizens or U.S. Naval commanders stationed in Wales. Among the related materials are newspaper clippings, copies of notes to and from the foreign offices of various countries, publications, and ceremonial letters.
The collection is important for students and researchers studying international relations between the United States and Great Britain and the United States and Wales in the Victorian period.
Date range: 1861-1906
Significance: Of international significance
Size: 6 microfilm reels (US consuls, Cardiff), 1 microfilm (US consuls, Swansea)
Language: English
Keywords: Diplomatic and consular service, Cardiff (Wales), history sources, Swansea (Wales), United States, Great Britain, William Wirt Sikes (1836-1883)
Notes: This collection is notable for its connection to the novelist William Wirt Sikes who was appointed US Consul in Cardiff in June 1876. Before coming to Wales, Sikes was a well-respected author and journalist for the Chicago Evening Journal. He also contributed to the Harpers New Monthly Magazine, the Youth's Companion, Oliver Optic's Magazine, and the New York Sun. Whilst in Cardiff he published much on the archaeology and history of Wales and shortly after his appointment, he began a series of papers on Welsh history, archaeology, and social conditions, which attracted wide attention. He died in Cardiff on August 18th, 1883. Two of his most notable works on Wales are available within SCOLAR: Rambles and studies in Old South Wales (1881) and British goblins: Welsh folklore, fairy mythology, legends and traditions (1880). The page proofs for the illustrations of British Goblins are available in the archives.

Hi Friends, I'm new to AC...Nice to meet ya :)
I would love your help to decide on which guitar to buy. I went in search of a new acoustic guitar and decided to play as many guitars as possible. Price was not the focus...just the sound and how well it suited my playing and my music. So here is what I liked in order:
MARTIN- 00028 ERIC CLAPTON : Sitka Spruce, Indian Rosewood B/S, Herringbone
GIBSON- KEB MO : Adirondak Spruce, Mahogany B/S, Herringbone
BOURGEOIS -VINTAGE OM BURST : Adirondak Spruce, Rosewood B/S. Herringbone, Pyramid Bridge
GIBSON J-45 SUNBURST : Sitka Spruce, Mahogany B/S, Herringbone
The Martin I picked first because it has a great sound and sustain but the looks not so much..lol
The Keb Mo...I fell in love with it...the sound, size and looks *sigh*
Bougeois was the first one I fell in love with but then the Keb Mo came along...ahahhaaha
Gibson J-45 Reminded me of the Keb Mo...nuff said.
I love parlours, small bodies guitars, bass, sustain, and well balanced guitars.
So as I hummed and haawwwed over those guitars as they were not within (my budget about $2200) with taxes etc. I tried the Breedlove American Series Guitars. They sounded well balanced, played well anywhere on the neck and had a great bass response and looks nice too. But I am undecided as I am mostly a flat picker.
I tried the Breedlove C25-SSE finger picking great, flat picking too bright for me.
Tried the Breedlove C25-CRE-H Finger picking too quiet and too dark, Flat picking awesome.
Considering the C25-SRE-H -have not tried..was told it may be as bright as the C25-SSE
I like the Breedlove C25-CRE-H but the finger picking is too quiet and dark. Taylors were a little too bright for me.
So my question is I am trying to find a guitar with a similar sound to the Martin, Gibson Keb, Bourgeois and Gibson J45 all of those seem to have great volume, BASS and treble for finger or flat picking? Any Ideas or suggestion on guitars I could try or consider around $2200?
Views: 5593
Hey Carl, I had a chance to listen to the OM21 Special online and it sounded great but I will have to try it in person. Great point to pick a guitar that will be versatile. I am hoping to get the best of both worlds (quality, herringbone, some bling...lol and great sound with a nice low end)
Hey Ed Rhoades, Thanks for letting me know about NAMM...great idea I may wait until then...Do you think I may find something in my price range?
I think I like the Martin Performing Artist Series #1 although I am not sure how they sound as yet. Have you all tried them and how do they compare to the HD-28? Also do you think I can find a Performing Artist Series #1 in my price range online? Thanks Again Everyone for all your advice it's very helpful and much appreciated. :)
Lin, I'm not exactly sure how it works. I've heard there is a great advantage to buying a Martin in the US because you get the full warranty. For you, it may be more cost effective to visit Some US stores...where you can get a sizable discount.
Martin lists full retail, stores advertise MAP which is the price they are allowed to advertise, but you can often get a better price from a dealer. With that in mind, this is your price range now, but no one knows exactly what the new models and prices will be. http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/price.php?c=6
I'll be trying out all the new models at Edapaloosa, but for now, we just have teasers. http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/namm-2012-martin-guitar-to-u...
You're probably going to pay just under $3,000 for a brand new Martin DCPA-1 ... The HD-28 with no electronics is about $450-$500 less. By the time you have a real good pick-up professionally installed, they are going to be about the same investment.
I've played the HD-28 and the DCPA-1. What you get with the DCPA-1 is a 1 3/4 inch nut width and a neck profile that is more like an electric guitar than that of the 1 11/16 inch nut and neck on the HD-28. You also get the cut-away and honestly, the built-in Aura sound you get with the DCPA-1 is fantastic! When played accoustically, the DCPA-1 is impressive as well, possessing the same voice you'd expect from a premium high-end Sika spruce, solid rosewood Martin dreadnought. DCPA-1 has mortis and tenon neck while HD-28 is traditional dovetail if that is an issue with you.
To me it would boil down to what I wanted to use the guitar for and how comfortable I was with the wider nut and more streamline neck profile. Also, whether or not, I was interested in the real state-of-the-art electronics which can produce some sensational sound when plugged in that you won't get with an HD-28 even when an after market pick-up is installed.
I'd certainly love to have this particular choice to make!! Good luck!
There are other effective pickups besides the Aura...which I believe is an expensive component of the Performance Artist Series. (Except for 4, which is analog).
The Aura's sound imaging is first rate...especially for studio work. The guitarist who played most of the lead tracks on our CD played a Performance Artist and the recording was fantastic. I also have a Martin with an Ellipse Blend which can really sound great for recording.
However, the K&K mini Western sells for about $87 and it is passive (no batteries needed) and has amazing reproduction. For studio recording, I like to mike my guitar and record it through the K&K and blend them. The K&K reminds me of the old Barcus Berry pickups, except it has three parts for bass, mids and trebles, and it's more efficient. It doesn't have any of the under saddle 'quack.' (That metallic attach sound seems worse in recording than playing live.)
I like the DCPA-1, but I like dreadnoughts. The more popular models look a bit like Taylors. I asked Chris Martin about migrating the sound imaging technology to lower models and he said they're reluctant to produce a guitar with electronics more expensive than the guitar.
I higher end Martin will have a little better sanding on the braces...more attention to detail than a 16 series. (which is what the appointments of the PA series are.)
Hi Ed ... I agree with pretty much everyhting you say except for the last sentence. The PA-4's do have 16-series appointments, but the PA-1's are in a whole different league with gorgeous abalone rosette/fingerboard/headstock inlays and premium bindings, etc. of the type found on the 41's
Hey Everyone, Well here is my update. I tried more guitars. I tried the Martin DCPA-1, the OM-21 Special. Both great guitars. I liked the Martin DCPA-1- it sounds great and looks great but learned that the dreadnought sound is great but not for me as and the OM Styles gives me more versatility as mentioned to me by Carl and the neck playability seemed a little stiff on the DCPA-1
This discovery led me to really like the sound of the Martin OM 28v although I would like something with a little bling.
Do you know anything about these guitars that I have not played and I am considering:
Lakewood M32- Rosewood B/S,
Eggle Linvile OM- Rosewood B/S,
Martin GPCPA1,
Martin OMCPA1.
How do those guitars compare to the Martin OM 28v that I have played and like?
Also what do you think of these guitars I found here?... any good ones that stand you to you? ParamountGuitars(dot)net
Hey Jud and Ed, Thanks for your advice. I do plan to perform with this guitar but I want it to sound just as great unplugged. I know the electronics in the Martin PA1 Series is Awesome! I suppose if I get a handmade guitar I can add a pick up to it? I plan to keep this guitar for a long, long time.
I thought I would just pick a guitar and BLAM! I would be done... but I realize that you discover so much more in this process. Hope you all are having a great weekend :)
Lin ... The hunt is half the fun ... !!! Enjoy it.
PS: I've played the Martin GCPA-1 unplugged, and I'd say that unless you're going to spend a lot of time performing on stage or recording in the studio, it might not be the guitar for you. Conservatively, I'd say $700-$800 of the $3,000 cost is in the Aura electronics. Unplugged, it was nice, but not overwhelming. You can find a really nice smaller size Martin (or other make) and put in a really nice pick-up for less than $3,000 and have exactly the guitar you want. Because it's a special vintage re-issue, you'll pay a premium (about $3K) for the OM-28V, but if it's in your budget, you'll probably love it. The standard OM-28 is considerably less. both have the 1.75 inch nut width that I particularly cherish.
Hi Lin,
Just my 2 cents...
For the C25-CRE-H - This particular Breedlove has a cedar top, which tends to be quieter & darker than spruce. If it is too quiet/dark for you, stay away from guitars with Cedar tops.
The C25-SSE has a Sitka Spruce top, which is very popular but does tend to have those bright qualities to it when flatpicked.
Something in the middle: Have you ever played a Redwood-topped guitar? In building guitars, I've found that redwood tops tend to fall in between cedar and spruce - redwood tends to be brighter than Cedar, but Warmer and less harshly bright than Sitka Spruce.
Of course there are a million other factors that contribute to the sound, but the above is true if all else is equal.
Sorry I don't have any specific suggestions for you, but I hope that helps!

The administrator of Comet is still trying to find a buyer, but in the meantime shoppers can now use their vouchers again.
19:37, UK, Tuesday 06 November 2012
Gift cards can be used again at Comet after their suspension was lifted by the administrator of the stricken electrical retailer.
Deloitte, which was appointed last Friday, is hunting for a buyer for the business after it collapsed in an attempt to protect some 6,600 jobs at the 236-outlet chain.
The administrator suspended the use of gift cards as it assessed the business, but said vouchers purchased and paid for in full could now be used again by members of the public.
However, Deloitte is maintaining the temporary suspension on gift cards which have been issued to people on behalf of a corporate customer.
Spokesman Neville Kahn said: "We recognise that the temporary suspension of gift cards has caused concern and anxiety to those customers affected.
"In the short time available since our appointment the administrators have worked urgently to bring clarity to this matter, while at the same time stabilising the business and seeking a buyer.
"We are very grateful to customers for their patience in allowing us time to properly assess the situation."
Deloitte said it intends to fulfil customer orders where the item is currently in stock in the delivery centres.
If stock is not available and customers do not receive their order, people who have paid by credit card may be eligible for a refund from their credit card provider.
The collapse of Comet marks one of the biggest high street casualties since the demise of Woolworths in 2008 and comes a month after the failure of JJB Sports.
Comet was taken over in February by investment firm OpCapita, which bought the chain for a nominal £2.
The high street electricals market in the UK has come under huge pressure as shoppers put off purchases of big-ticket items such as TVs and large appliances.
Their online rivals, meanwhile, have been taking a bigger slice of the sector.

Nominated by students and chosen by a faculty panel, Leasure wins teaching award
Brandon Moeller
May 12, 2009
Dr. J. Leigh Leasure is this year's recipient of a Ross M. Lence Award for Teaching Excellence in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. The award will be presented during commencement ceremonies on May 15.
Candidates for the Ross M. Lence Awards for Teaching Excellence are nominated by students and are chosen by a committee formed by the college. Award winners receive a plaque and a $3,000 prize.
To qualify for the award, professors must be in their third year of full-time faculty service and the award honors excellence over a period of years, not just one year's performance, according to the awards' guidelines.
The award is named in memory of former CLASS professor Ross M. Lence, who taught political science and courses in the Honors College. Lence began his career at the University in 1971, and during his tenure raked in his share of awards as well.
In 1987, he won the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation award for teaching excellence in Texas and in 2002 he won the George Magner Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Academic Advising at the University of Houston.
Lence was named a prestigious John and Rebecca Moores Professor in 1988, and in 2001 was appointed to the Ross M. Lence Distinguished University Chair, made possible through the contributions of hundreds of his former students.
Lence passed away in 2006.

Surfaces East: Regional flavor, unique opportunities
Last month, Hanley Wood Exhibitions announced it would run a Surfaces East show next year from Oct. 19 to 22.
Some exhibitors have voiced concern regarding the potential impact this will have on the strength of the annual Las Vegas event. Here, Amie Gilmore, associate director, Surfaces/StoneExpo/Marmomacc Americas/TileExpo, talked with FCW's managing editor Amy Joyce Rush about the viability of a second show, its regional impact and the opportunities it presents for exhibitors and attendees.
Is there risk of diluting the population in Vegas, both vendors and retailers? What are you doing to maintain the stronghold in Vegas while building the East show?
We have been hearing for some time that there was a real need for an east coast event in the fall, in addition to our Las Vegas event.
Each event will have its own identity and we plan to make them unique so attendees have two "must attend" events each year. The International Surface Event East will attract new attendees, as well as give exhibitors the opportunity to target new demographics.
Additionally, we expect a large influx of international attendees and exhibitors that may not have made it to the Las Vegas event making the East Event extremely diversified.
Being that the Las Vegas event is in January, it is vital to both the exhibitors and the attendees. Surfaces has always been about new products, new launches, new trends. It has always been a true buying show and that will never change about the Las Vegas event.
SURFACES 2015 in Las Vegas will be surrounded by excitement that exhibitors and attendees won't want to miss. With the co-dating of KBIS, IBS and Las Vegas Market to create Design and Construction Week, The International Surface Event will draw new exhibitors and attendees.
The interest in the Miami Beach event has been tremendous thus far both by companies new to The International Surface Event as well as the main stays. Many of our Las Vegas exhibitors have mentioned showcasing different product mixes at East. For example, more commercial focused lines versus their residential products. This is another thing that will make Miami Beach different from Las Vegas.
What will the hallmark of the East show be?
Having a top-quality education program at each of our events will continue to be a priority for us. We plan to have a similar format. However, we will offer different, unique programs and on-floor features. Many of our supporting organizations plan on holding various key events that are different from their presence in Las Vegas.
What is the benefit you see to offering a more regional event?
If you recall, when StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas East was held in Atlanta in 2007, it was a very successful launch. We found that many attendees that came to that show weren't attending the Las Vegas event. We are confident Miami Beach will offer an eclectic environment, drawing both domestic and international attendees and exhibitors.
Are there any particular product categories that you are targeting with the Miami show?
With the addition of TileExpo, we're obviously looking to grow this segment. However, we're also focusing on those manufacturers who may sell more regionally and feature products that are hot on the east coast. Tile and stone are natural draws for Miami.
Anything new this year for the Vegas venue?
TileExpo will launch at The International Surface Event: Las Vegas. TileExpo was created to better serve the needs of the U.S. tile industry. The co-location of TileExpo with Surfaces and StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas, two leading industry trade shows, will create a unique mega-event.
We have partnered with ICRI to create an on-site Slab Moisture Testing Training and Certification program. The Experience will be offering two new programs to cater to cleaning and restoration professionals, the Retailer Symposium and Inspector Symposium. The CFI Certification program will grow to feature two programs, the Ceramic Installation Training and Certification and Hardwood/Laminate Installation Training and Certification.
How are things shaping up in terms of exhibitors and registration for Vegas in January?
The show floor for SURFACES 2014 Las Vegas is 95 percent sold.
Registration is now officially open and we are very happy with the number of people who have already registered. We are offering free Education with Exhibits Admission through Nov. 29.

Womens Costumes

Women are dressing in costumes for Weddings, Holidays, Theme Parties, Sporting events and even as Club Wear on any given Saturday night. Here at AnytimeCostumes.com you'll find a huge assortment of womens costumes not only for the Fall Halloween Season, but year round for any occasion or event.
Women's Fashion through the Decades
Dressing up in clothing styles from the past is a great way to re-live and reminisce about the days gone by. That's why so many people nowadays are having themed gatherings inspired by the decades of the past.

Some like to display their sense of humor with a Funny Costume while other women find an Occupational costume more fitting for them.

Michelle Obama and Beyonce are reportedly BFFs known as "best friends forever", according to a Jan. 17 report from CNN.
The first lady turned 50-years-old on Friday. It's reported that she was serenaded by Beyonce, who is also her best friend. The White House did not comment on whether the singer will be in attendance for her friend's birthday party.
It appears that Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Carter are very close. The singer has performed Etta James' "At Last" at President Obama's first inaugural ball. She even helped Mrs. Obama with her "Let's Move!" campaign to fight childhood obesity.
It's not just Mrs. Obama that's been rubbing elbows with Mrs. Carter. Daughters Malia and Sasha attended one of Beyonce's concerts in their hometown of Chicago. The singer wrote a public thank-you letter to her bestie: "Michelle, thank you so much for every single thing that you do for us. I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to."
Mrs. Obama tweeted, "@Beyonce Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to. --mo" [SIC] Bey must refer to her best friend as "Mo".
Some people don't like the friendship. A group of Christian moms were anxious over their friendship because of the performer's revealing costumes and sexy hip shaking moves.
People often criticize the Obamas for rubbing elbows with celebrities. They believe the first family should just focus on world affairs. Sometimes powerful friends like Michelle Obama and Beyonce can attract powerful haters in the world.

When we were overly emotional teenagers, we desperately wanted to be in a John Waterhouse painting, just about all of which feature gorgeous images of mythical or literary overly emotional teenagers. We now recognize that Ophelia was a drama queen desperately in need of a copy of He's Just Not That Into You, but we still love the ethereal, romantic quality of Waterhouse's works. This Prairie Tranquil Dress ($85) looks like someone might have shook it out of one of his paintings. And now that we're cheerfully cynical grown-ups, we can wear it without feeling like we should be on the verge of throwing ourselves into a river.

I recently bought and read a box set of books on security (Building Secure Software: How to Avoid Security Problems the Right Way, Exploiting Software: How to Break Code, and Software Security: Building Security In). Although I think that the contents of these books will be useful for years to come, the authors do acknowledge that the world of computer and software security changes very quickly. What are some ways that I could stay on top of the latest happenings in these areas?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I follow Schneier on Security in my RSS reader.
Listen to the security now podcast, on twit. After then depending on the OSes you are using you should subscribe their security mailing lists, or rss feed.
The Register's Security section. RSS available. (I am a big fan of El Reg.)
Also, and it might be a little lightweight for a coder, but the Security Now! podcast with Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte is decent.
If you can afford it (or convince your employer to pay), go to at least one conference a year. As a last resort, there's always Defcon, which takes place on a weekend and is only $100. It's not as professional as, say, Black Hat, but it's better than nothing.
RISKS is not security-specific, but some interesting security-related topics are discussed there.
BUGTRAQ is a full-disclosure security mailing list that is worth skimming. (Every time a vulnerability is disclosed in a piece of software that ships with most Linux distributions, there is a barrage of disclosures from all of the various distributions. This negatively affects the signal-to-noise ratio unless you're using one of those distributions.)
Some security-related blogs that may be interesting (in addition to Schneier on Security which has already been linked): …And You Will Know me by the Trail of Bits, DoxPara Research (Dan Kaminsky), Matasano Chargen, Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle, ZDNet's "Zero Day".
OWASP (http://www.owasp.org) provides a very nice RSS feed, mostly aggregated from many different sources.
Oh, don't forget the incredibly interesting hackers' conferences by the CCC. The conferences' names have a fixed pattern. The last one was 24c3, the next one will be 25c3. They are held in Berlin, Germany, and are one of the biggest convergence points in hacker and security culture on this planet.
You will find videos and mp3 transcripts of the last conferences at Chaos Radio.
Just in case you can't make the trip, the talks are usually broadcasted via live streams. Recordings get published weeks after the event.
For web security I subscribe the the following Feeds: Some are updated regularly, some aren't.
or you can just add all to your iGoogle hope page: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DanchoDanchevOnSecurityAndNewMedia%26sect%3D3%26row%3D0&n_25=url%3Dhttp://www.us-cert.gov/channels/bulletins.rdf%26sect%3D3%26row%3D2&n_25=url%3Dhttp://www.us-cert.gov/current/index.rdf%26sect%3D2%26row%3D1&n_25=url%3Dhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/zdnet/security%26sect%3D2%26row%3D2&n_25=url%3Dhttp://isc.sans.org/newssummary.xml%26sect%3D3%26row%3D1&n_25=url%3Dhttp://ha.ckers.org/blog/feed/%26sect%3D2%26row%3D0&n_25=url%3Dhttp://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/security%26sect%3D1%26row%3D0&n_25=url%3Dhttp://sla.ckers.org/forum/rss.php%26sect%3D1%26row%3D1&n_25=url%3Dhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/security/enterprise/headlines.atom%26sect%3D2%26row%3D3">My iGoogle Security Page
I'm sure there are more interesting feeds out there if you're more application centric.
Regardless, feeds or visiting sites is the only way to really stay completely on top of things. Conferences are great, and fun to go to, but you'll get the same information an hour later via the web; usually with the added bonus of having several points of view to help you understand the topics.
Then there is the ACM's SIGSAC and the ACM's Transactions on Information and System Security. Being a member of the ACM is generally recommended by the authors of the Practical Programmer.
Security Now! is not bad (I listen each week).
If you want a more hardcore podcast, then try Paul "dot com"'s Security Weekly.
A blog I enjoy (apart from Schneier on Security) is Light Blue Touchpaper - a collective blog by the computer security research department at Cambridge University (led by the wonderful Ross Anderson.
IEEE has "Security and Privacy" as a magazine - it is pretty good.
I use many of the other mentions mentioned above (Schneier as mentioned), however I've found Slashdot honestly gives me the best "heads up" as to the new attack vectors coming in. It's not always timely, and mostly just a general overview, but it's good at posting vectors I never thought of.
Consider attending a local OWASP chapter meeting.
For software security and especially web application security OWASP Moderated AppSec News is a great RSS feed. Good signal / noise ratio. It should be enough to be up to date.


text: Dec 2, 2012 00:13 BCS hopes dashed, LSU football waits for bowl invite BCS hopes dashed, LSU football waits for bowl invite Advocate staff photo by ADAM LAU -- LSU's Danielle Ballard (32) drives with the ball against the Wichita State defense during the first half at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012. Advocate news services Comments MIAMI — The LSU women's basketball team, riding the momentum of its upset victory against No. 12 West Virginia, meets Florida International in the championship game of the FIU Thanksgiving Classic at approximately 2 p.m. Sunday at U.S. Century Bank Arena. The Lady Tigers (2-2) out-muscled the Mountaineers 71-63 in a physical game Friday night. LSU used its usual recipe of success: getting to the free throw line (22-of-30) and forcing turnovers (28, which led to 16 points). "This team has shown that there is no quit in them and they have toughness," coach Nikki Caldwell said. "Florida International has a lot of great players who can score from the perimeter. We are going to have to be on top of our closeouts both on the ball and away from the ball. I thought FIU did a great job on the boards against Iowa. We have to be able to counter that aggressiveness." Freshman Danielle Ballard was a game-changer on both ends of the floor Friday, scoring a career-high 25 points and grabbing career-bests in rebounds (eight) and steals (five). Ballard is one of four Lady Tigers averaging double figures in points. She is posting 12.5 per game and ranks second in the Southeastern Conference in steals with 14. Junior forward Theresa Plaisance leads LSU in scoring (14.8) and rebounding (9.8). Plaisance is third in the SEC in rebounding and tops in offensive boards (6.0). The Panthers (2-2) shocked Iowa in the waning seconds Friday with a buzzer-beater from Jerica Coley, the Sun Belt preseason Player of the Year. She's averaging 17.8 points and 8.3 rebounds. LSU stands a victory away from becoming the fourth SEC school to claim 800 all-time wins. In the 38-year history of the program, the Lady Tigers are 799-371 (.684) and would join Tennessee (1,194), Georgia (838) and Auburn (814) in the 800-win club. LSU is 3-1 all-time against FIU. The teams are meeting for the first time since a 68-54 LSU win in this tournament Nov. 30, 2003. All of the meetings have been in Miami. Iowa and West Virginia meet in the consolation game at noon.
