Loyola, which has already surpassed its win total from a year ago (7), and DePaul renew one of the city's best rivalries Saturday as the Ramblers look for their first win against the Blue Demons since January 21, 1989.
Since the 1966-67 season, Loyola has started a year by winning at least eight of its first 11 games just eight times, though five of those have come in the last eight seasons.
Loyola has won 13 of its last 16 (.813) games versus non-Horizon League opponents with two of those three losses coming on the home court of BCS conference foes (South Florida and Michigan State).
This year marks the first time since 1979-80 that each squad has at least a .727 winning percentage at the time of their match-up. In their second meeting of the 1979-80 season, Loyola carried a 7-2 record into their showdown with the undefeated Blue Demons (9-0).
The Ramblers have won six of their last eight games played away from home against non-Horizon League foes.
Loyola's 16-player roster has accumulated only 16 combined years of post-high school basketball experience tying it with Horizon League rival Wright State as the sixth-youngest team in NCAA Division I for 2012-13.
Loyola is looking for its second win over a BCS conference foe this season. Two weeks ago, the Ramblers snapped a nine-game losing streak to BCS conference opponents with a 59-51 victory over Mississippi State for their first decision over a BCS rival since a 74-53 victory versus Georgia on November 17, 2008. The Ramblers last won multiple games versus BCS conference foes in the same season in 1991-92 (Northwestern and Purdue).
The Ramblers are 4-1 in day game this season with the lone setback coming at No. 19 Michigan State.

Gibler's Career-High 29 Points Not Enough In 69-58 Loss To DePaul
Walt Gibler scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help Loyola University Chicago (1-7) nearly overcome a 33-point deficit, but ultimately came up short in a 69-58 loss to DePaul (5-3) in front of 4,186 fans at Gentile Arena tonight.
DePaul enters Saturday's game on a seven-game winning streak and is 6-1 at Allstate Arena this season, with the only loss coming at the hands of Gardner-Webb (71-59) on November 15. The high-scoring tandem of Cleveland Melvin (17.9 ppg, 8.0 rpg) and Brandon Young (16.1 ppg, 4.8 apg) leads the Blue Demons, who are shooting 45 percent from the field as a team and forcing an average of 17.7 turnovers per game. DePaul is coming off a 69-61 victory over Maryland-Baltimore County last Saturday, in which Melvin totaled a game-high 24 points.
This is the 56th meeting between the Ramblers and Blue Demons and DePaul holds a 38-17 advantage in the all-time series. DePaul has dominated the recent history between the teams, winning 11 straight contests and 14 of the last 15, including a 69-58 decision at Gentile Arena last December. In that contest, Walt Gibler scored a career-best 29 points to lead Loyola, which mounted a furious second-half rally but was unable to overcome a 33-point deficit. The Ramblers', who are just 1-19 against the Blue Demons on their home floor, have not prevailed against their city rival since a 70-69 victory on January 21, 1989.
The Ramblers own a 78-146 (.348) record against current members of the BIG EAST Conference and 65 of their wins have come against the "Catholic 7" - DePaul (17-38), Georgetown (2-7), Marquette (35-46), Providence (0-2), St. John's (7-8), Seton Hall (1-3) and Villanova (3-0). Loyola has not defeated a current member of the BIG EAST since a 70-58 victory at Notre Dame on January 24, 1994.
Regardless of the outcome of Saturday's game at DePaul, Loyola is assured of posting consecutive months with a winning record for the first time since November - December 2009 when it went 4-1 in November to set the stage for a 7-1 performance in December. This year, the Ramblers went 5-2 in the opening month of the season and are 3-1 this month heading into Saturday's showdown with DePaul. With eight wins this season, Loyola has already eclipsed its total from 2011-12 (7). Through games of December 25, among Horizon League schools only UIC and Valparaiso, with nine wins apiece, had more victories than the Ramblers.
With a pair of free throws at the 19:18 mark of the second half the season opener against Toledo, senior forward Ben Averkamp became the 39th player in Loyola history to score 1,000 points. Now tied for 25th on the school's career scoring chart with 1,168 points, the 6-foot-8 Preseason Second Team All-Horizon League pick needs one point to tie Vic Rouse for 24th all-time with 1,169 points. In the Ramblers' victory versus Maryland-Eastern Shore on November 18, Averkamp collected his 500th career rebound making him just the 19th player in Loyola history, and the second in as many seasons, to top the 1,000-point and 500-rebound marks for his career. Last season, Walt Gibler joined that exclusive club.
An old adage states that defense wins championships and if that proves to be true, the Ramblers should find themselves in the thick of the Horizon League race this winter. Under second-year head coach Porter Moser, Loyola has allowed only 51.3 ppg in its 15 victories, while also limiting opponents to 36 percent (288 for 795) from the field and 27 percent (66 for 247) from beyond the arc. The Ramblers have held the opposition under 50 points on nine occasions under Moser. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Loyola's defense has surrendered 55 points or less on 14 occasions after doing so 15 times in the previous three seasons combined. Discarding an 81-78 victory over Tennessee Tech on November 28, the Ramblers are holding opponents to a meager 47.6 ppg in their victories this year, and in the last two games, have yielded only 50.0 ppg and held Mississippi State and Saint Peter's to a combined 38 percent (39 for 102) shooting, including 24 percent (6 for 25) from three-point land. Through games of December 23, Loyola ranked 26th in the nation in scoring defense (57.5 ppg).
One year after shooting just 31 percent (117 for 377) from three-point range, Loyola shares the top spot in the Horizon League in three-point accuracy (.363) through games of December 25. If the Ramblers can shoot at or near that clip for the remainder of the season, they will challenge the school record for three-point accuracy set in 1996-97 (.374). A sign of how far the Ramblers have come in their perimeter shooting is the number of triples by the team leaders. Last season, Ben Averkamp and Joe Crisman shared the team lead with 26 treys, but through only 11 games, Devon Turk has already sank 22 threes.
Freshman Devon Turk has provided the Ramblers with a bona fide three-point shooting threat, something that was sorely missing last season. The first Rambler true freshman to connect for at least one three-pointer in each of his first 10 games as a Rambler, the 6-foot-4 guard had his streak snapped when he was held without a try at Saint Peter's last Saturday. However, Turk has provided instant offense off the bench and ranks second on the team and third among Horizon League freshmen with 8.1 ppg. Over the last four games, the Houston native is pitching in 13.3 ppg and shooting 52 percent (17 for 33) from the field, including a staggering 57 percent (12 for 21) from long distance. Turk ranks second in the Horizon League in three-point field goal percentage (.500) and in three games versus BCS conference foes, is contributing 13.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 1.3 apg, and shooting 56 percent (10 for 18) from three-point land. He torched Mississippi State for a career-best 21 points, 18 of which came in the first half, for the highest-scoring output by a Loyola true freshman since Jordan Hicks tallied 23 points at Butler on February 15, 2009.
Solid efforts in the second half have been a staple in Loyola's eight wins this season. After putting up an average of only 26.3 points and connecting on 37 percent (74 for 202) of their field goal attempts in the first half, the Ramblers have rebounded to tally 37.8 points and shoot a sizzling 52 percent (102 for 197) from the field in the second period in their eight victories. In a win over Furman on December 1, Loyola notched 48 second-half points and converted 65 percent (20 for 31) of its field goal tries.
Junior point guard Cully Payne is starting to settle in after sitting out last season due to his transfer from the University of Iowa, where he was a Sporting News Freshman All-Big Ten Team performer in 2009-10 after averaging 8.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg, and 3.8 apg. Over the last six games, the 6-foot-1 Payne has contributed 9.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 4.8 apg, and 1.3 spg, while knocking down 39 percent (10 for 26) of his tries from long distance, numbers that are vast improvements over his 4.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 4.2 apg, 0.6 spg, and eight percent (1 for 12) in the first five contests. A starter in all 48 of his collegiate appearances, Payne has put up 7.5 ppg, 5.0 apg, and shot 50 percent (4 for 8) from downtown in his last two games versus BCS conference foes. Payne, who ranks fifth in the Horizon League with 4.5 apg, has racked up 22 assists to only seven turnovers in the last four outings. His 18 points versus Tennessee Tech on November 28 were his most since tossing in a career-best 25 versus Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament in 2010.
Cully Payne is one of over 80 candidates named to the watch list for the 2013 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award, which recognizes the top point guard in college basketball. Payne is part of a watch list that will initially be pared down to 20 candidates around January 1 with the winner to be announced at the NCAA Men's Final Four in Atlanta. Payne is one of three Horizon League point guards named to the watch list, along with Ray McCallum (Detroit) and Kendrick Perry (Youngstown State).
Last year, Ben Averkamp blossomed into one of the top players in the Horizon League and this season should be in the discussion for player of the year accolades. A 2011-12 Second Team All-Horizon League honoree, the 6-foot-8 captain was named to the USF Invitational All-Tournament Team last month after tallying 20.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.0 apg, and 2.0 bpg in three games. The Germantown, Wis., native, who is one of only two players to rank among the top four in the Horizon League in both scoring (16.3 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg) this season, is averaging 19.3 ppg, 7.4 rpg, and 1.6 apg, while shooting 46 percent (55 for 120) in his last eight non-conference games in the month of December. An inside-outside threat, Averkamp has buried 9 of his last 22 shots (.409) from beyond the arc, and at No. 19 Michigan State on December 8, he matched a career high with four three-pointers en route to a game-high 25 points. Averkamp, who has scored in double digits in 18 of his last 20 appearances, failed to score 20 points in his first 69 career games, but has done so 13 times in his last 31 appearances. He recorded his first double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) of the year, and seventh of his career, at Northern Illinois on November 24, and in his last four games away from Gentile Arena, is popping for 21.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.5 apg, and 1.3 spg, while converting 53 percent (26 for 49) of his field goal attempts and 44 percent (8 for 18) of his triple tries. A starter in 78 of his last 79 appearances, Averkamp totaled 17 points and eight boards at DePaul in 2010 and last season corralled 11 rebounds against the Blue Demons. Last weekend, he converted all 13 of his foul shots en route to a team-high 17 points in a win at Saint Peter's. Averkamp has converted 58 of his last 66 (.879) charity tosses.
In addition to his exploits on the hardwood, Averkamp also is an exceptional student and campus leader who defines the term "student-athlete." Last month, the senior forward was named one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, which is presented annually to the NCAA Division I senior with notable achievements in four areas of excellence - community, character, classroom and competition. Among the select group of individuals on that list are Isaiah Canaan (Murray State), Drew Crawford (Northwestern), C.J. McCollum (Lehigh), Brandon Paul (Illinois) and Miles Plumlee (Duke), among others. In addition to being a Capital One Academic All-District V selection last year, Averkamp also was named to the Horizon League Men's Basketball All-Academic Team, National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court, I-AAA Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete Team, National Jesuit Men's Basketball All-Academic Team, and Horizon League Academic Honor Roll.
Averkamp is one of 15 players in NCAA Division I who entered this season with a legitimate chance of topping 1,000 points, 750 rebounds, 100 assists, and 100 blocks for his career. Heading into the DePaul game, he has recorded 1,168 points, 548 rebounds, 153 assists, and 134 blocks.
Arguably the most improved player on the roster, sophomore Christian Thomas is contributing 12.5 ppg and 7.0 rpg, while shooting 60 percent (9 for 15) from the field in the last pair of outings. The 6-foot-5, St. Louis, Mo., native is went for a career-best 16 points and pulled in six rebounds in a victory over Mississippi State on December 15 and just missed out on his first career double-double when he totaled nine points and eight boards at Saint Peter's last Saturday. One of the top free throw shooters in the Horizon League, Thomas has converted 31 of his last 36 (.861) attempts from the charity stripe. Over the last seven contests, he has produced 8.0 ppg, 5.1 rpg, and shot 59 percent (17 for 29) from the field, after mustering just 2.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, and shooting 44 percent (4 for 9) in the first four outings of the season. A career 56 percent (73 for 130) shooter from the field, Thomas has averaged 7.4 ppg and 5.1 rpg in the Ramblers' wins this season.
Sophomore Joe Crisman normally does a lot of little things that don't necessarily show up in the boxscore to help the Ramblers win. However, in last Saturday's victory at Saint Peter's, the Munster, Ind., native tallied a season-high 12 points, his most since February 23 versus Green Bay, and grabbed four rebounds. This season, Loyola is 5-0 when the 6-foot-4 guard scores six or more points, and last year, he lit up DePaul for 14 points, three boards, two assists and three steals. Crisman, who is has connected on seven of his last eight (.875) field goal tries, is tallying 7.3 ppg and 5.7 rpg in the last three road games.
Getting off to a strong start has paved the way to success for Loyola in recent history as it has gone 25-2 (.926) when leading at the half since the start of the 2010-11 season. Since the outset of the 2008-09 campaign, the Ramblers are 46-7 (.868) when leading at the break.
The 2012-13 season marks the 50th anniversary of Loyola's 1963 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. To this day, Loyola remains the only school in the state of Illinois to have won a NCAA Division I men's basketball title. A season-long celebration is planned to commemorate the remarkable accomplishments of that team. Earlier this season, Loyola unveiled a website dedicated to the 1963 team, www.Loyola63.com. The site features articles, statistics, biographies, photos and video interviews with players from that historic squad.
Since the start of the 2004-05 campaign, Loyola has posted a 55-13 (.809) record when it holds its opponent to fewer than 60 points.
In August, Loyola took a 13-day trip to Italy, where it played four games and visited a handful of cities (Rome, Florence, Venice, Como and Pisa). During that trip, the team soaked up the Italian culture, did plenty of sightseeing, and used the time to bond as a team both on and off the court. The Ramblers posted a 3-1 ledger on their four-game trip to Italy and three newcomers - Jeff White (11.7 ppg), Matt O'Leary (11.3 ppg) and Devon Turk (11.3 ppg) - averaged double figures in scoring, while Cully Payne handed out 9.7 apg, three times hitting double digits in helpers.
In November, Loyola announced that Quinten Payne and Jordan Pickett had signed National Letters of Intent to attend the University and play basketball starting next fall. Payne, the younger brother of Loyola junior guard Cully Payne, is a 6-foot-4 guard who averaged 16.9 ppg, 6.7 rpg, and 3.1 apg at St. Charles North High School in St. Charles, Ill., last season. A 6-foot-1 guard, Pickett put up gaudy numbers last year at University High School, going for 26.2 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.5 apg, and 3.0 spg. Both players are ranked among the top 15 in their respective state by ESPN.
Head athletic trainer Dr. Tom Hitcho has worked 1,028 consecutive Loyola men's basketball games heading into Saturday's contest at DePaul. Hired prior to the 1977-78 season, Hitcho has not missed a Rambler game in 36 years, witnessing 476 victories.
For the third straight week, Loyola is receiving votes in the College Insider Mid-Major Top 25 Poll. The Ramblers totaled 10 points this week and are one of five Horizon League teams - UIC (No. 17), Valparaiso (No. 18), Detroit (RV), and Wright State (RV) - to be ranked or receiving votes. Creighton (11-1) sits atop this week's Mid-Major Top 25 Poll.
All Loyola men's basketball games can be heard this season on the Rambler Network, which is available at www.loyolaramblers.com by clicking on the Rambler Network tab on the home page.

Good morning dear friends of WMS! It's blog waltz time! Today as you waltz along make sure you pay careful attention to the other design team members' blog posts, as each one contains a clue to the question posted on the WMS blog today: "What is the subject of one of the new stamp sets to be released in September?" Find all the clues and you might just figure out the mystery and win a prize! It's Blues Clues for grown ups...and you don't even have to have a handy dandy notebook. Although most of us do, I'm sure! Now onto my card...
This month's theme is shabby chic/vintage. Now this isn't my area of expertise, but I do enjoy branching out and trying different styles. I know woodgrain is a popular look these days, but I wanted something more feminine, so I went with a soft plaid I created using Off Beat Backgrounds. I started with a light wheat color on cream cardstock, turned the paper, then stamped with a soft pink on the diagonal. After that, I just started layering, using mostly scraps that I had on hand. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of die cut notebook paper. I stamped several single rose images from Roses in Bloom and colored them with Copics. To shabby them up a bit, I added some distress ink. This helped to soften the color and tone down the bright pink. I also like how they are tucked in with everything and not necessarily right out in front:
I really love the trims I used on this card. I added a scalloped border of cream felt and cream crocheted lace over that. Two pink buttons sewed on with crochet thread added the last touches. And I just love the soft cream silk ribbon. Note to self: Buy more once you remember where you got it!!!
There's my shabby/vintage creation to share with you all today. I love this very soft and feminine card and will definitely be trying this style again. Now I'm off to see what wonderful creations you have made! Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the clue words...
Stamps: Roses In Bloom, Off Beat Backgrounds (WMS)
Paper: Kraft, Vintage Cream (PTI), Upsy Daisy Designs, My Mind's Eye
Ink: True Black, Sweet Blush, Vintage Touch Chai & Chamomile, Hibiscus Burst (PTI), Black Momento and Wheat VersaMagic (Tsukineko)
Other: Copics, Lavender Moon vintage buttons (PTI), cream silk ribbon, crochet lace trim, Vintage Cream and Simply Chartreuse felt (PTI), small scalloped border die (PTI), crochet thread, spiral notebook page die (PTI)

Change Your Business Culture by Changing Your Stories
Changing your organizational culture and influences are not an easy thing. Cultures are complicated systems created and influenced by processes, mechanisms, and leaders' actions. So how do you begin changing something so complex?
Start by changing the stories that people tell. Stories are the fabric of a culture and communicate what a company is all about. Do something that represents the culture you want to create. For example, if you want to reduce a culture of perfectionism, admit your mistakes and openly share your failures. If you want to create a culture of communication, leave your Black Berry at your desk when you go to important meetings. If your actions deviate from the norm, you can be sure people will tell stories about them.
What does your culture of your office or business say about it is viewed by both employees and consumers.
This tip was adapted from "A Good Way to Change a Corporate Culture" by Peter Bregman.

A liquid diet typically consists of water, juice, broth and gelatin. Some liquid diets are used to replace all of your daily meals, while others may replace only one or two meals per day. Liquid diets are often prescribed to patients before tests or surgical procedures. They are also used by many people as a way to lose weight. Liquid diets should not be used for more than three days without a doctor's consent.
Liquid Diet Basics
There are many foods that you can eat during a liquid diet. The only rule, of course, is that all food must be pureed before consumption. The best way to do this is with a blender or juicer. Turning your favorite fruits and vegetables into a healthy liquid meal is quick and easy. According to the Mayo Clinic, a liquid diet "helps maintain adequate hydration, provides some important electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, and gives some energy at a time when a full diet isn't possible or recommended."
To make a healthy, homemade vegetable juice; combine 3 carrots, 1 apple, 5 oz. of spinach, 1 stalk of celery, 1 oz. of parsley, and 2 oz. of lemon juice. This juice is a great way to add potassium and iron to your liquid diet. It's also good for the digestive tract. For a sweet treat, combine 7 strawberries, 1/2 mango, 1/2 apple, 1 kiwi, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1/2 cup of sparkling water.
It's important that your liquid diet includes vegetable and fruit juices, because they provide you with important vitamins and nutrients. Always use fresh fruits and vegetables. Mix different fruits, vegetables, and herbs together to see what tastes the best to you. If your liquid diet consists of things that you like, you will be more likely to stick with it.
To increase the protein in your liquid diet, the National Cancer Institute suggests adding strained fish, meat, or poultry to broth to make a soup. Finally, combine potatoes, cream, and broccoli together to make a hearty pureed soup.
A liquid diet doesn't restrict many foods, provided they are pureed, but there are a few foods that you should avoid when on a liquid diet. These foods include cheese, cooked vegetables, frozen and canned fruit, bread, and cereal. Drug Information Online advises anyone on a liquid diet to eat three meals and two or three snacks daily. For soups that include meat, fish, or poultry, they suggest you completely puree the ingredients in a blender and strain the soup before consuming. Doing this makes the soup easier to digest. If you are on a liquid diet due to an upcoming medical test or surgery, check with your doctor about any restrictions that may apply in your specific case.

Real-Deal 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG – Original P.A.F.'s – Serial #6XXX – SG/LP SG/Les Paul
Hello All — this will be the ONE non-PRS post on vintageprsguitars.
Why? Because, at long last, I finally scored my bucket-list '61 SG/LP — and I really wanted to share the long, twisting tale surrounding it with my gear-loving brethern from all over the world. It's a bizarre, guitar-addled version of the classic Boy Meets Guitar, Boy Loses Guitar, Boy Gets Guitar Back Again story… sort of.
Pretty much, it all started way back in the day — 1983. While on vacation in Hawaii, I found a tiny little guitar shop with some cool guitars and promptly hauled ass back to the hotel to convince the folks to help me get one. My Gibson Sonex 180 Deluxe simply didn't rate, and even at fifteen I already had much bigger ambitions in the perfect axe department.
Parents in tow, it came down to a Sophie's Choice between a bumble-bee yellow Partsocaster with black pickguard(think Brad Gillis-style) and a real-deal original '61 SG/Les Paul. The Strat was pretty flashy and in perfectly in sync with the times, but the SG looked like what Angus and Tony Iommi played, and that was also a big deal. The store owner broke my agonizing impasse by suggesting the SG — it had these old pickups called "P.A.F.'s", came with the original case and would be a better investment in the long run.
That last part sold my Mom. She promptly wrote him a check — for $625. I still have the yellowed receipt in front of me, even as I write this.
Boy, was (is) my Mom cool! To this day, I've never gotten a better gift. Now suddenly, there I was, a boy and his first serious guitar — the exact same axe his hard rockin' heroes played! I'm sure the vast majority of you remember that same first killer guitar moment in your own lives as well.
She was Serial Number 133325 (one of the confusing YNNNNN's of the period) I played that beauty day and night. Drew pictures of her on my Pee-Chee's (Google it, Millennial readers) and wore her around the house even when I wasn't practicing new riffs. The sound was amazing, just like Angus and Tony! The neck was wicked fast and fit my hand perfectly. She'd had a stop tail conversion, tuners swapped out for Schaller's, and I added one of those Gibson "fine tuning" tailpieces. Other than that, she was all stock and straight as an arrow. By all accounts, I was "living the dream", a full twenty years before that even became a catch phrase.
When I'd turned thirteen, I was wildly smitten by hard rock and the NWOBHM just as it broke in the States. Late one night on our single-channel cable box ("Visions"), the movie "Used Cars" ended and by chance I glimpsed my very first promotional music video — live concert footage of Black Sabbath doing "Die Young" on their "Black and Blue" tour with Blue Oyster Cult.
I was dumbfound. Awestruck. Immediately and irrevocably ensorcelled for life. Who were these guys? More importantly, how could I become just like them?
I'd purchased "Back In Black" right off the shelf, the day it hit record stores (low-fi store-bought cassette, actually, remember those?) and crack of dawn next day, I biked to the mall and bought "We Sold Our Souls For Rock 'N Roll". Talk about "gateway drugs". Between that mind-blowing ear candy, the rise of Heavy Metal and my coming find of the '61 SG/LP, it was all over. Thirty years have come and gone, but I've never kicked my addiction to the sound of a scorching guitar… nor do I ever plan to.
Many of us (most of us?) have classic "the one that got away" stories. Semi-tragically, the testimony below now becomes mine.
Guitar fever hit me HARD after I got the LP/SG, dragging my senseless teenage ass straight down the rabbit hole. Abruptly, I wanted to play/own *every classic guitar* from then on. There were so many awesome axes! Remember, this was the mid-80′s — vintage originals were very affordable, most younger players preferring pointy pink headstocks and freshly-routed Kahler's to the prehistoric relics I was digging. Over a three year killing spree, I went through a king's ransom of guitars any sane adult would've given a nut to keep, all paid for by my job at the local radio station and some measly childhood savings.
Among others, these spectacular guitars included (brace yourself, fellas, it's about to get ugly) a pristine cherry red '66 ES 335, an all-original '55 Butterscotch Tele and a '54 LP Goldtop with the hottest p-90′s I've heard before or since. Sick, sick guitars. Epic, behind-the-glass in Arlington and Dallas level stuff nowadays.
And somewhere along the way (predictably, I suppose) I began messing with the SG. Most tragic of my "upgrades" was swapping out the P.A.F.'s for some heavy metal "blade" pickups that were big at the time. OUCH. Believe it or not, the sleazy older tech in my small town kept my P.A.F.'s as part of the deal. "Service Charge", he called it. Just snatched 'em right out from under me without even a hint of fair warning.
Insult to injury, sometime after that, for some insane and unforgivable reason I can't clearly remember, I decided to trade away my first love — that soaring, rip-roaring '61 SG/LP — for a custom Tele project guitar some clown had. Yep. Traded them straight across, didn't bat an eyelash.
Talk about retarded. WTF was the seventeen year-old version of me thinking???
For a kid as smart as I was then, it was a mind-numbing low-point, no doubt. And as I grew older and the coming decades began to unspool around me, it became a quiet thorn buried in the back of my psyche. Completely out of the blue, New President after President, I would reopen my investigation and interrogate myself anew about this epic fail. Call it nostalgia, call it pining for lost youth. But silly as it sounds, I never really forgave myself for letting that one crucial, game-changing guitar go.
Sure. Life goes on. It always does. I sold off all my guitars and went to college. The last of 'em — that fire-breathing '54 Goldtop — was let go for $550 cash to pay for a car. During my twenties, I quit playing for the most part, content to file that chapter away and concentrate on hot/neurotic chicks, writing movies and smoking the best weed in California (no easy task).
Late '90′s, I grabbed a beater SG Special with a headstock break to noodle on. Then somewhere in 2006 I stumbled into the Vintage Room at the Hollywood Guitar Center. They had a very nice '62, factory original, fast neck, all that. I found myself excited. What I didn't know was that the guitar market was MOLTEN HOT right then, enjoying an artificially inflated moon-shot driven by hedge fund managers, foreign investors and non-playing collectors — a.k.a "tourists" and "douchebags".
I asked what the '62 cost. Straight-faced, the salesman told me $30,000. My own expression collapsed like a poorly built pup tent. Suddenly, I was a gear-loving Rip Van Winkle awakening from his long slumber — immediately fossilized and foolish all at once. Heart-breaking word of this new guitar economics seemed to drive a last stake through my dream of reacquiring "the one that got away" and making up for my past wrongs.
Around that time I got the guitar bug again. Not even sure why. I got turned onto PRS and became a serious player and collector. Beautiful amps and axes came and went as I started indulging my G.A.S. all over again… now at the big boy, disposable income, adult taxpayer level.
Then last August I was vintage Tweed surfing on eBay. I stumbled onto a super-clean '59 Vibrolux with a very plain listing. The seller was clearly an actual human being and not some dreaded "power-seller". The price was very fair, the amp looked brand new and in the description it mentioned to check out his auctions for other gear.
I clicked "See Other Items" and WHAM! suddenly there she was — a stone-mint 1961 SG/LP staring me right in the face. She looked factory-new, virtually unplayed, and the brief text explained the owner had purchased her off the showroom floor in '61, then put both her and the Vibrolux in storage around '68. This gentleman had recently passed, so his younger nephew was selling off his gear for the family.
That's right — the guitar had been in storage for 45 years. Which explained her condition and being completely original with ZERO issues. And the asking price was low. I mean CRAZY LOW. I could actually afford this!
Now the other shoe dropped. My eyes bounced to the Auction time — it had already ended one day earlier. ONE DAY! The Guitar Gods had smote me down yet again! I cursed the smirking heavens. "No! NOOOOOOOOOO!" (pretty sure some of you have experienced the horror movie gear moment I'm talking about here.)
In the following days, whatever scabbing still covered my thirty year wound was completely torn away. I searched the SG/LP listings like a NYPD Detective. [B]Sure enough, the SAME GUITAR was relisted within a week.[/B] But this time it was a Power Seller. And this time is was THREE TIMES the price. The lucky bastard who'd grabbed it knew he'd scored the deal of the century and was pressing to flip it a.s.a.p. and triple his money.
When I saw the new price, my heart sunk and I simply powered my MacBook down. Obviously, the Guitar Gods were not in a forgiving mood. Three decades later, it appeared they would never grant me pardon for my adolescent sins.
Fast forward to early December 2013. I was in the process of downsizing, selling off a ton of nice gear. Three pretty expensive guitars, three expensive amps. Completely on a whim, I searched SG/LP's while busy listing them one day on eBay.
Lightning struck again. That's right — Twice. Something that's never supposed to happen. The exact same guitar was listed in an open auction by the exact same seller. Evidently, the five-figure flipping price from months prior hadn't been well received in the strongest buyer's market in our lifetimes. Now that immaculate '61 was wide open in a reserve auction. The description was pro-style now, and it confirmed my suspicions that this dream axe was indeed stone-cold good to go.
I pretty much pissed myself, right? Then it hit me, all at once — if not now, when? I'd been playing this masochistic game of approach/avoidance my entire adult life. Now I was 46, fresh out of excuses and light years from that spry young metal head. If I wanted to own and play a legit '61 SG/LP and could swing the cash without losing my home, why the f–k NOT get it? God Only Knows how many guitar playing years any of us have left. Which would I regret more — spending the money or not pulling the trigger when I finally got another shot? (Dumb question, I know…)
I promptly did what any sane middle-aged man with my tortured backstory in my predicament would do. I contacted the seller, impressed upon him how serious I was, and urged him to contact me immediately to see if we could work something out — saving him a ton of time and me hopefully some money.
Pretty quickly the seller called. A stand-up older guy from the Midwest, totally old-school and clearly a veteran pro when it came to vintage. I blew my tale of woe by him, he revealed the reserve price and gave me the scoop on the guitar. At long last, here it was, The Moment of Truth. I went all in, Texas Hold 'Em, making him the best possible offer I could and offering to pay via bank wire transfer first thing Monday morning.
The seller promised to call by Sunday night, said he needed the weekend to think about it. Totally reasonable. I thanked him, no further sales pitch, hung up, and went back to haranguing my getting-angry-and-beyond-sick-hearing-about-it girlfriend about how perhaps the Guitar Gods had finally taken pity on me. She violently wedged in her earbuds and took sanctuary in a new episode of "Snookie & J-Woww".
Sunday evening I got a text — we had a deal. Three days after that FedEx delivered. Man, did they deliver.
When I first took this jaw-dropping 1961 SG/LP Serial #6XXX from her brown Lifton case with purple lining, my jaw hit the floor — but my stomach dropped right alongside it. Why? She seemed almost TOO clean, I mean IMMACULATE, 9.9 out of 10 condition. Hell, she looked even BETTER than the pics. The finish was such a deep, rich cherry red it kick-started all sorts of crazy paranoia. "Was this one of the trillions of reissues out there some scam artist had passed off as a legit '61???" I mean, it couldn't be this, well, PERFECT, could it?
But yeah, it was perfect. Everything checked out, from the P.A.F.'s to the electronics to the serial number and so on.
Two thousand words in, my friends, I won't bore you with some hyperbolic tone report, stressing her "vibe" and "mojo" and all those other on-line phantom intangibles so predictable to these threads. Suffice to say, this is hands-down the best '61 SG/LP I've ever played — eclipsing even my first-love original. She has the fastest '60′s neck I've experienced on any period Gibson, and the sound is beyond sick. I'm a pretty brutal critic when it comes to buying guitars, and if she had been a lemon in any way, you wouldn't even be reading this right now. But I feel supremely confident saying to file #6XXX under "Dream Come True".
That's it. The whole sordid saga so familiar to guitar players and guitar lovers across the globe — beginning in a naive, youthful guitar paradise, then bravely deciding to force march through the gear world, journeying from ocean to ocean, pole to pole, in search of something else, something "better", "newer", "cooler", "hotter", "more modern" or "more you"… only to end up right back where we started, grasping the simple, direct, unsurpassed elegance of the original incarnation.
Or as Thoreau so perfectly put it a century and a half ago –
"The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."
If by chance you're still reading this, thanks for taking the whole trip with me. This certainly isn't a new story, just my particular version of a very old one, destined to be repeated by new players over and over throughout decades to come. Happily for me, it's a story that has a very happy ending.

"The Summit" movie
We saw "The Summit" movie today. The subject is the 11 climbers who died on K2 in 2008. It lived up to its reviews and is well worth the effort to see. This film will not be out there long. If you want to see it in a theater, make it soon.
Really? How interesting! I hadn't heard about this one and this is the type of movie I would really enjoy.
There was a time when I would "eat up" all the true life documentary type films/stories on Netflix regarding hiking up Everest and then other true stories that I could get my hands on with regard to hiking/climbing.
I'll have to see this one. Thanks for the post.
BTW: Here is a link to the official site so you can see theaters playing it for those interested. Looks like its in Hollywood and Huntington Beach only right now in our So Cal area, unless I missed seeing more.
Also another movie the same company made based on another true story is live stream right now on Netflix: "Touching the Void". I saw it a couple years back. Wow. Absolutely amazing/unbelievable story. Documentary- Drama back and forth style. Very well told. Fascinating. Incredible incredible story!
Hope they open our National forests back up soon.
A quote from Aron Ralston is not a selling point for me.
The movie isn't playing in Huntington Beach, but in Irvine at the Regal Theaters/UA University Town Cinema 6 across from UC Irvine on Campus Drive. I went today, barely anyone in the theater, so go soon if you want to see it. Decent movie, but I was confused why they put the stuff with Walter Bonatti in the movie; he was caught in an epic storm near the Italian high camp back in 1954, but it really seemed like a distraction from the 2006 event the movie focused on. I thought 'Touching the Void' was much better done.

Now that the Agnelli family have become the leading shareholders in The Economist, after its owner Pearson sold to them yesterday, what to say about the late Gianni Agnelli, the Italian magnate who founded the Fiat dynasty and died in 2003? If only we knew of someone writing a biography of him. Oh wait, someone is: The Economist's Vendeline von Bredow.
The one-time European correspondent was asked around a decade ago by the family — grandson John Elkann now runs the business — to write a biography of papa Agnelli, who led an industrial revolution in Italy in the Sixties and Seventies, helped along by a few Fiats.
In 2008, von Bredow took a two-year sabbatical from her role as head of the Economist's Paris bureau to churn out the manuscript. But seven years on, still no book. What's taking so long?
Perhaps the extensive research on the many women that Agnelli admired? The list is a long one, including Pamela Churchill, a certain Jackie O, and the siren of the new Italy of La Dolce Vita, Anita Ekberg. Meanwhile, Agnelli's wife Marella, born Princess Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto, is still alive, aged 88.
Since starting on her epic work, von Bredow has changed jobs, leaving Europe altogether to become The Economist's Midwestern correspondent. She emails from Chicago to explain, "My biography is still a work in progress. I will hopefully be published next year or, at the latest, in 2017."
Tory's Labour wind up fails
A friend of The Londoner has just become the latest to lose £3 in this new game of trying to wind up Labour by voting for its leader. Being a Tory, he applied under an assumed name. He wasn't disappointed to be rejected but he was a little surprised — the pseudonym he chose was "Tony Blair".
The great Clare and Robbie love-in
She might be an ex-jockey and down-to-earth sports enthusiast but it seems Clare Balding is steaming ahead in the success stakes. The highest-paid female TV presenter last year, Balding raked in a cool £1.2 million.
She also seems to be mixing in her ever-higher celebrity circles. Balding spent last weekend rocking out with Robbie Williams, at the retirement party of jockey AP McCoy, at the home of Irish billionaire JP McManus, at Adare Manor, Co Limerick. Moreover, the love-in between pop star and presenter seems to have survived separation, with Clare tweeting to Robbie "we enjoyed ourselves so much and you were epic. Everyone still buzzing about it! Thank you — that was a bit special xx", and he replying, "By the way, so lovely to see you xx". Mwah, mwah!
Love is .. dating the flirtmeister
If there's something unnerving about going out with the founder of transient flirting device Snapchat, then Miranda Kerr doesn't seem to show it. The Victoria's Secret model, who has a baby with Orlando Bloom, started dating Evan Spiegel a few weeks ago and, judging from a picture taken at Los Angeles airport, they're off on a jaunt.
Spiegel created Snapchat, in which your message is deleted in under 10 seconds, in 2012, and is said to be worth £2.1 billion. Let's hope the relationship has more longevity than the messages.
Comedy of errors on the FT website
Ever ahead of the market, the Financial Times is supplying a demand no one realised existed. Next time you encounter a broken link on its website you won't be faced with a mere "page not found" message. For the FT has entered the market for amusing error pages. Bloomberg famously has a GIF of an office worker smashing a computer to the floor.
But that's too immature for FT browsers. Taking their cue from the BBC's remit to "inform, educate and entertain" (someone has to), they are experimenting with a range of 404 pages. On one they've hired a crack team of problem-solving pros to explain a page's absence. "Why wasn't this page found? We asked some leading economists" it reads. Try "Game theory: by not viewing this page you help everyone else get better pages." How about "Keynesian economics: aggregate demand for this page did not necessarily equal the productive capacity of the website"? What would the great man, pictured, make of that?
Other lost browsers will be faced with a "Financial lexicon challenge". Rather than read the article you originally intended, you can guess the correct financial term from a definition. "Action by a central bank to reduce interest rates and boost money supply as a means to stimulate economic activity", anyone? Users can vote for their favourite error page. If anyone knows how to spend Japanese firm Nikkei's money, it's the FT.
Would Ed Balls be up for GBBO?
Over to the New Statesman, where Helen Lewis has interviewed Labour leadership contender Yvette Cooper. How is her husband, former Chancellor Ed Balls getting on, The Londoner wonders. Lewis reports: "Cooper tells me he has recently baked an impressive Go Ape cake for one of their children's birthdays, and laughs at my suggestion that he go on The Great British Bake Off." A shame.
Tacos, the food of protest
Hunger protests are so yesterday. Last night east London residents, food fanatics and, er, Diane Abbott consumed industrial quantities of tacos at Shoreditch's street food market Dinerama in protest over proposed licensing laws in Hackney. Leon founder Henry Dimbleby took a stand upon a distressed metal bin. Under proposed restrictions, new venues such as nightclubs would "not be deemed appropriate", and other night-time businesses told to close long before midnight. "Thousands of us are saying we don't want to be told to go to bed at 11pm!" he bellowed. No danger of an early night for Professor Green, Gizzi Erskine and Hackney North MP Abbott, who was sporting a metallic rucksack and sipped on craft ale while she waited for her pizza. Diane Abbott: poster girl for post-hipster Hackney?
Clean-out of the Day: New Top Gear host Chris Evans has announced he is selling his Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car and six Ferraris at the Goodwood Revival Sale next month.

Yeah it's not a very nice virus, but then i don't think i've ever met a nice one. Interestingly if you put ALL of the worlds most dangerous animals in one group and count the amount of people they kill in one year, they would be beaten easily by the amount the mosquito kills in one month. This makes the mosquito by far the most dangerous being (for humans) on the planet.
I built gnome-3.10.2 for both 32 and 64bit but it is so full of bugs that i don't think i will release it. As a desktop it is more than usable if you don't want some of the built in gnome stuff.
The following does not work:
gnome-documents (works but only for online docs)
I can put it up but with no support. I don't feel like (or have the time) bug squashing for this desktop. Every new gnome release breaks something or brings problems because of new stuff.

They are at risk of being bullied, dropping out of school and turning to crime, according to children's communication charity I Can.
The charity published a report, backed by the BT Better World campaign, warning that speech and language difficulties can seriously damage children's life chances.
In some of the more deprived parts of the UK, between 50% and 80% of children start primary school with "delayed language".
This means they may not speak clearly, they may have a smaller vocabulary than normal, use shorter sentences and understand only simple instructions.
Melanie Cross, the report's author, said: "Good speech, language and communication skills equal good life chances. It is that simple.
"Without them, children struggle to interact socially, manage their emotions, negotiate, problem solve and resolve conflict - all of these skills rely heavily on language.
"Equally, we need to make sure that vulnerable people already in 'the system' receive all the help and support they need."
Virginia Beardshaw, I Can chief executive, said children who find language hard "find life hard".
"This report clearly shows that developing children's speech, language and communication skills early is vital and can help children avoid a lifetime of exclusion," she said.Reuse content

Oh, the holidays. I'm so mixed up in my beliefs at this point that I'll celebrate damn near anything. So, a Happy Kwanzaa to all, and to all a good night.
Since my aunt was going to be staying in Baltimore, my mom decided to make a break for it and skip town. She headed straight here, of course, to see and celebrate my new house. We definitely broke in my new 3 story, 3 bedroom townhouse.
Because there's no better time to start hosting things at the new place, I had people over for Christmas Eve (just 2 days after my closing). And to really ensure a Feliz Navidad, we had tacos for dinner. After dinner we did a little tree trimming...to be honest though, with the food coma I was in, I HARDLY wanted to hang ornaments at all. Thankfully, the bearded giant, Mika, Ryan and my mom both helped and worked to motivate me...and fill me with caffeine.
On Christmas Day, the bearded giant made us a wonderful breakfast of biscuits, sausage and eggy deliciousness. Then mom, the bearded giant and I all had some present-opening and stocking-unveiling, which was lovely. I ended up getting some wonderful gifts, including a Transformers action figure (Bumblebee, of course), a great fleece sweatshirt (perfect for dog-walking...), some beautiful lamps for the new living room and an amazing handknit bracelet from the bearded giant's mom (it's knit with sterling silver wire! so cool!). After presents, there was napping, and cooking, and unpacking.
For dinner, we really made quite the spread. The menu included:
- Caramelized Garlic-Onion Bisque
- Prime Rib with green beans and olive bread
- Buttermilk Pie
We, of course, gorged ourselves on this wonderful feast...and then laid down for a long winter's nap. And I must admit to you, the house is STILL filled with the smell of onions...
Despite all of our better judgment about what to do the day after Christmas, we did end up going out into the wilds of shopping hell, but mostly only for home improvement supplies. We did manage to find some good deals on things that I needed...like chairs, console tables, paint and the like, but we didn't come home with much. We were just feeling out the sales, and pricing things.
Before my mom left for home, I did get a chance to make a couple more tasty treats. Below see my Berry Turnovers and below that, Pears in Puff Pastry with Rosemary Custard (Feuilleté de Poires avec Crème Anglaise au Romarin). The pears were my favorite - they were stuffed with a date and sitting in the amazingly tasty Crème Anglaise. I made far too much of the custard, but I'll remember that for next time.
That's the rundown from the last few days. I'll be updating more pictures of the house and more pictures of some tasty edible treats soon!
