Folks, none of us like taxes but let's face it, costs go up and so must the price of doing business. If he's going to claim, " read my lips, no new taxes", he should tell you, " I will maintain the status quo because we have no money".
Don't fall for that claim. He may be the best politician since bread was baked but you have to be real.

Ph.D. Research and Research Interests
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. Researcher in the Multimedia Computing (MMC) Group at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. I am working together with Prof. Alan Hanjalic and Dr. Martha Larson. I am collaborating with Prof. Shih-Fu Chang and other colleagues from the Digital Video and Multimedia Lab (DVMM) at Columbia University, New York, NY, USA.
In 2013, I received the highly prestigious Google European Doctoral Fellowship and am the first named Google Fellow in Video Search worldwide. I feel very honored to be one of 39 worldwide selected Ph.D. Researchers who Google considers as "some of the most promising young academics in the world" and am very grateful to Google for having provided me this great opportunity and freedom to address research questions I am interested in. Please find Google's official announcement here and a list of worldwide Fellowship recipients here.
My research interests include the field of multimedia information retrieval with focus on video search intent inference and its applications for search results optimization throughout the entire search engine pipeline (indexing, retrieval functions, query formulation). Next to 'what' a user is looking for using video search, I am particularly interested in the 'why' component behind the search and its opportunities for the development of novel multimedia retrieval algorithms. Besides search intent inference, I am interested in search goal and query failure analysis. This research includes strong connections to information retrieval, multimedia content analysis, data and web mining, machine learning, human computer interaction, and crowdsourcing.

A team is comprised of a maximum of six players on the ice at any one time (see "penalties").
The goaltender is responsible for guarding the team's goal and preventing the opposing team from scoring.
The primary responsibility of the defensemen (two) is to prevent the opposing team from having a good shot at the goal. The defensemen also attempt to gain possession of the puck and pass to teammates to initiate an offensive scoring opportunity.
The primary responsibility of the forwards (three: right wing, center and left wing) is to score. However, forwards also assist the defensemen by back-checking after their team has yielded control of the puck to the opposition.

Horse riding
The Anima Hotel organizes horse rides in partnership with local residents, providing moments of tranquility and relaxation on the island with its beautiful fauna and flora. Among the options are a ride from the hotel until the 3rd beach, riding along one of the most beautiful beaches of the archipelago, whose passage still preserves much of its natural beauty. Also an option is going the opposite direction to the Garapuá beach. The entire paths are done in the company of an instructor. Horses are rented by the hour and the ride lasts as long as the guest wishes, and should be scheduled with a minimum of two hours in advance.

Going into the weekend as soon as I finish this post. My husband suggested we go to Whole Foods this weekend. We are in need of groceries for the house and I'm especially out of organic foods. I haven't had a coconut in a month and I'm going crazy without them. So I'm looking forward to going shopping. I'm not, however, looking forward to driving in Dallas. I'll be driving which is good and bad. I think I'm a safer driver but then again it totally stresses me out. I think we'll call a friend and see if we can meet up with them. Seems kinda silly to drive to Dallas and then not see them and stress out just for coconuts! Then again, I've done crazier things.
Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone!

I failed my one-hour gestational diabetes screening test, by the tiniest of margins. I was upset, not just because I failed, but because the follow-up test, the three-hour test, sounded so miserable.
For the one-hour test, you go in, drink a small bottle of, basically, flat orange soda, go about your business for an hour, and then go back for a blood test. No fasting, no fuss.
But that's a screening test. It doesn't have to be super accurate, just good enough to scoop in all the possible gestational diabetics in its net. The three hour test is the diagnostic test. For this one, you have to go in first thing in the morning, no breakfast, get baseline blood drawn before taking your glucose drink, then get blood drawn every three hours.
It started out ok. The nurse who did my first blood test was sweet as can be, and kept complimenting my skin. "Your hands are so soft," she said, "even through these gloves I can feel it." It bordered on stalker creepy, but came down on the side of adorable.
After the baseline blood test, she gave me the glucose drink. It was the exact same size as the drink for the first test, but contained twice as much glucose. Kool-aid, but with twice as much sugar. It was as disgusting as it sounds.
Already starting to feel hungry, I settled down in the lightest part of the hospital lobby for my first hour wait. There seemed to be a piano playing somewhere, and an old lady sitting near me was swaying. A woman was carefully and methodically dusting every leaf on the huge ficus tree. It was calm and quiet.
And then suddenly it was 9:00, and the place went crazy. By the time I got back to the same area after my second blood test, the lobby was really crowded. A man who was either blind or crazy or both sat down right next to me, and immediately began emptying the contents of his insulated lunch box, muttering, "aw man, aw man, aw MAN." Eventually, he wandered off in search of his lost medication. He was replaced by a series of people with disturbing, guttural coughs.
After two hours, I was hungry, and starting to feel pretty icky. The guttural coughing people left, and a new crazy lady showed up with many friendly questions, like, "What are you reading? What's your name?" Delighted to have an excuse to move away, I stood up to go get my third blood test and she noticed the bump. "You're having a baby? When is it due? My daughter was born in June!" (points at deranged looking young woman standing near concierge) "You're so small! You're so cute! What's your name?"
An older eastern European man sitting next to her looked up when she started asking about the baby. "Is boy cub?" he asked, pointing at my belly. "Good. Very good."
Back in the lobby for the last hour of waiting between blood tests, I was dismayed to find the crazy lady still there, because now, I knew, she thought of us as friends. She started right up. "Do you have pets? You look like a pet person!" I tell her we have two cats. A second crazy lady, a few seats down mutters, "Hmmph. Cats. I hate cats. I like puppies." First crazy lady: "I have six dogs!" Second crazy lady: "Well, aren't you just the humane society."
And that was the last straw. I quietly picked up my things and inched away, vowing to hide in the stairwell until my last blood draw.
No word yet on whether I've got the 'beetis. At least I don't have pleurisy. That's what I thought I had when I made an emergency doctors appointment yesterday because of crushing chest pain. Turns out, it's a pulled muscle. A muscle I pulled…watching TV? Quilting? Checking my email?
My friend Julie pointed out that all this is just practice for the hours and hours I'm going to be spending in hospital lobbies and doctors offices in years to come, once Perquackey starts putting peanuts in his nose and whatever other mischief little boys get up to. Can't wait.

Aerospace engineers may design aircraft, space vehicles, satellites, and missile systems. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design. Aerospace engineers are employed in building, analysis and design of commercial aircraft, missile systems for national defense, or spaceships. Aerospace engineers are employed primarily in manufacturing, research and development, and must have a bachelors degree in aerospace engineering or another related field. In addition, aerospace engineers that work on projects that are related to national defense will need a security clearance.
Aerospace operations technicians and mechanics need only an associates degree to begin working. They must maintain equipment used in developing and testing new aircraft and spacecraft. Increasingly, these workers must be able to use computer-based modeling (CAD) and simulation tools in their work. Certification is offered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Both companies and the FAA seek to ensure the highest standards for the safety of the aircraft. In fact, SpaceTEC, the National Science Foundation Center for Aerospace Technical Education, coordinates a nationwide program through community and technical colleges to help students prepare for certification. The median annual wage for aerospace engineers with a bachelors degree was $107,830, while aircraft technicians and mechanics holding an associate's degree earned $66,180, as of May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the astrophysics department, you may consider County College of Morris construction management as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Schedule Functions
The network management schedule service functions submit and manage jobs that execute on a specified computer at a particular time (or times) in the future. Jobs can include commands and programs. The functions manage jobs at remote and local computers, provided the schedule service is running on the computer.
The schedule service functions are listed following.
|Submits a job to run at a specified future date and time.
|Cancels a range of jobs queued to run on a computer.
|Lists the jobs queued on a specified computer.
|Returns information about a particular job queued on a computer.
|Retrieves the AT Service account name.

HONG KONG (AP) — An official survey shows China's factory activity eked out an expansion for the third straight month, in a possible sign that the downturn in the world's second biggest economy might be stabilizing.
The index released Wednesday by the Chinese Federation of Logistics & Purchasing came in at 50.1, level with April's reading.
It is based on a survey of factory purchasing managers. The index uses a 100-point scale on which numbers below 50 indicate contraction.
Data released by China's national statistics agency also showed production expanded while new export orders were flat, in a sign of weak global demand.
The federation's index for China's service industry, meanwhile, slipped to 53.1 last month from 53.5 in March.

Two die in Northland crash
Two men in their 20s were killed when their car crashed into two other vehicles on a state highway in Northland early today.
The driver and front-seat passenger of a sedan died at the scene after hitting a truck's trailer and spinning into the vehicle directly behind it on State Highway 10 south of Kaeo.
The male passenger in the rear of the car was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Ambulance crews treated the driver of the rear vehicle for minor injuries, while the truck driver was uninjured.
Senior Sergeant Peter Robinson, of Kerikeri, said it was a "tragic situation" and a sad start to Queen's Birthday Weekend.
"It's too early for us to say what the thrust of the message is from this crash, but the message for all drivers is to drive with care, drive within your lane," he said.
Police would speak with the victims' families and the other drivers involved, Robinson said.
"It's fortunate no-one else has been injured, given that it's open road and that there's been a collision involving three vehicles," he said.
"Our thoughts are with the families of all parties involved."

Shock and bore
New Humanist prides itself on tracking down and exposing charlatans and cultists. But when they are as bizarre as Genesis P-Orridge, even our nerve failed. So we sent Fiona Russell Powell instead
The omens were not good from the start. It was late Sunday afternoon in May and a thunderous black sky had been drenching the good people of Dalston for most of the day. Christophe Demoulin, the photographer, and I were lost on the unusually long rubbish-strewn High Road as we searched for the venue where the interview was to take place. We didn't know it then but the weather would mirror our chilly reception later. Eventually we found it: an unsigned, anonymous black door sandwiched between a restaurant and a Turkish café. Once inside, stairs led down to the basement club - your bog-standard, sticky-floored, low-lit rock dive. I looked for the "manager" whom I had only been able to contact via email and who identified himself by the hip-hop moniker "Matski", so I was expecting a young black guy in a designer hoodie. Instead, a lanky bespectacled hippy in his 50s wearing tartan granddad slippers was leaning against the otherwise deserted bar. Usually before a gig there is a buzz about having the artist in the house, a nervous energy, a repressed air of excitement. This was to be the only date rock singer and art house provocateur Genesis P-Orridge was to play in the UK, on a short European tour, under the umbrella of his solo project PTV3, and it had sold out quickly. So why was there such a curious lack of occasion in the air?
Though his name is unknown to the man in the street, Genesis P-Orridge does enjoy some degree of infamous notoriety in a certain demi-monde. For 30 years he has been an underground cult figure, with a reputation for outrageousness, showmanship and mystical depth that he has assiduously cultivated. His legend rests primarily on the work of the two bands he formed, wrote for and sang with; Throbbing Gristle, the 1970s pioneers of the proto-punk industrial style, and the 1980s psychedelic occult band Psychic TV. But in addition to the music P-Orridge is also widely feted as a performance artist, visionary, courter of controversy, disciple of Charles Manson and Jim Jones, occultist and self-inventor. Recently he has been enjoying something of a revival among a younger generation who have discovered his music and performance "art" on the internet.
When I made myself known to the hippy propping up the bar, "Matski" confirmed with an American drawl that, yeah, he was the manager, then carried on chatting to his pal. Eventually, I butted in to ask when and where we were doing the interview and it became clear that he hadn't given either question any thought. Then he ambled off to "do something" while we stood by the bar and waited.
I passed the time reviewing what I knew of our interviewee's background. Born and bred in Manchester, Neil Megson attended art school in Hull where he first came up with the name Genesis P-Orridge, eventually changing it permanently by deed poll. A typical product of English art colleges, he immersed himself in conceptual art and actionist theatre, dedicating himself to making political gestures designed to challenge and destroy bourgeois convention. A follower of the philosophies of William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and Aleister Crowley, Genesis, through Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and his numerous side projects, borrowed much of their imagery and inspiration from these transgressive giants. Throbbing Gristle's manifesto was to shock and disturb the audience as much as possible with taboo-busting shows featuring mutilation, totalitarian symbolism and S&M imagery. They set up their own record label, Industrial Records, which had a photo of the Auschwitz gas ovens as its logo. Everything was designed to provoke, from Cosey Fanni Tutti, the female guitarist, being a stripper and porn actress, to Genesis dressing as a Nazi or a priest, and live shows featuring transvestites, punks, street whores and used tampons as "found" art. Childish and naïve as much of this was, there's no denying it felt radical at the time.
Genesis has long been interested in body modification. In fact, he was one of the first people I met with pierced genitals. Since then he has moved on to the terrain occupied by the likes of Orlan, the infamous French performance artist who uses plastic surgery as her medium and not for the purpose of prettification. Genesis's latest attention-seeking "performance", along with his late wife, Lady Jaye, was for them both to undergo extensive surgical enhancement with the aim of looking as alike as possible and the intention of creating a third person or unifying into one hermaphroditic being. He coined a new phrase for this: pandrogyny. Judging from the photos I have seen this new entity looks remarkably like a cut-price drag queen. He now sports breast implants, collagen-plumped lips, a bad blonde dye job and make-up designed, it appears, to make him look something like the beautiful junkie singer Nico from the Velvet Underground. This radical surgical overhaul for a man of 60 shows he remains true to his original motives: anything to shock the "world into thinking a bit for itself" - both admirable and yet strangely infantile. Even more odd is his take on it: "I deliberately chose to distort the DNA of my body as a rebellion against predestination."
Back at the bar, still cooling my heels, I chatted to Christophe, who had just rushed all the way from Paris for the shoot, and had once been an assistant to Orlan as well as being a cameraman on several gay porn films. Knowing Genesis's obsession with plastic surgery and his long-held interest in pornography and prostitution (Throbbing Gristle caused public moral outrage with their infamous 1976 ICA show "Prostitution", for which one Tory MP condemned them as "wreckers of civilisation"), I thought he would be interested to meet Christophe. As we waited patiently, I reminisced about the "Gen" I had once known.
It was 1983. I had just turned 20 when I first met him through my then boyfriend, the cartoonist and rock musician Mark Manning, aka Zodiac Mindwarp. It was Gen who had encouraged him to get his first cock piercing, a "Prince Albert". Gen believed that Mark's piercing proved that Mark had bought into the new cult Gen was forming around his band Psychic TV. But Mark told me the only reason he'd had it done was because it provided a great chat-up line. Well, it worked with me.
When I eventually met Gen I was a girl-about-town, hanging out with fellow freaks like the ballet dancer Michael Clarke, singer Boy George and fashion designer and performance artist (later muse of Lucien Freud) Leigh Bowery, while writing for the Face magazine - so influential then that a mention secured a record deal and instant cool credentials. Genesis seemed eager to cultivate me.
He began inviting me to his home, a damp Victorian terraced house in Beck Road, Hackney. It was usually because he had his latest track to listen to or "something" to show me. I found him interesting: well-informed, quick-witted, possessing a keen intelligence and always with plenty to say. But he was also pompous in the extreme. It was difficult to take seriously someone who took themselves so seriously. He wasn't merely a singer and lyricist, he told me, but a "linguistic engineer".
One day Gen announced he had something "interesting" for me to watch. It turned out to be a gory but entirely convincing snuff movie (fake, I discovered years later). Then there was a real-time film of an execution by electric chair where smoke plumed up from the man's head and his eyeballs boiled. While these unwholesome vignettes played on the video, Genesis watched me watching them like a naughty schoolboy gleefully waiting for his maiden aunt to scream at the plastic spider. No stranger to shock tactics myself, I deliberately disappointed him, feigning a yawn.
The P-Orridges mostly occupied the upper two floors of the house. The main room on the ground floor was used as their sexual playroom, which they called "The Nursery". It was cold and smelt of piss, with whips, chains and instruments of torture hanging off the walls. A coffin sat in the middle of the room and the prize possession was an old dentist's chair, which Gen claimed had belonged to a dentist in the 1950s who was jailed for raping his female clients. He offered us the privilege of use of this grim dungeon. When I told Mark about the invitation, he snorted: "Not chuffing likely. I know the dirty bastard's drilled a hole in the ceiling so he can watch."
Gen's predilection for voyeurism was confirmed on another visit. In the bloody aftermath of the acrimonious disbanding of Throbbing Gristle, Genesis set about forming a new band, Psychic TV, which was less a rock band than a conscious attempt at forming a pseudo-religious cult, centred around the imagery of Satanism and sex magick (the misspelling an homage to Aleister Crowley) with a sizeable dose of "Satanic Majesty"-era Rolling Stones.
Fans of Psychic TV were invited to join the Temple ov (sic) Psychic Youth - for a fee. Twenty-three was chosen as a sacred number following William Burroughs' discovery of the esoteric "23 enigma" (Psychic TV are in the Guinness Book of Records for producing 23 albums in 23 months, all released on the 23rd day of that month). It was aimed primarily at disaffected youth, and its followers seemed to be mostly teenage boys at boarding school who were lonely, angry and looking for a cause. And easy to manipulate. To be initiated the wannabe Psychic Youth had to send in samples of his bodily fluids on the 23rd day of every month: blood, semen, saliva. Along with these, they had to write down in detail their masturbatory fantasies while being solemnly assured that these would never be opened or read, instead being placed in a vault for posterity. I saw with my own eyes what happened to those spotty youths' naive outpourings of their newly dawning sexual yearnings: Genesis and Paula opened them, read them aloud, pissed themselves laughing then invited the boy whose photo they found most appealing to stay with them. Paula seduced him while Gen watched. It's one way to keep a marriage going, I suppose. After witnessing all that, no wonder At Home With The P-Orridges was firmly burned into my memory.
Back at the club, Genesis had still not put in an appearance so I brought Christophe up to date. While visiting America in the early '90s with their two daughters, Caresse and Genesse, Genesis and Paula heard that Hackney social services wanted to question them about allegations of child abuse. (Despite his carefully projected image that there were no boundaries, I don't believe for a minute that Gen was inappropriate with his girls.) Their house was raided by Scotland Yard's Obscene Publications Squad, who unearthed their vast collection of occult writings and graphic photos of anything involving murder, necrophilia, mutilation, sexual deviance and Nazi imagery. In short everything that illustrated Genesis' fascination with the power and mechanics of evil. The couple didn't dare return, and instead went into self-imposed exile in San Francisco. Divorce followed not long after and, in 1993, Genesis met and married the woman he has described as the love of his life and soulmate, Jacqueline Breyer.
A former nurse almost 20 years his junior, Jacqueline quickly became another of Gen's projects. Jacqueline - who reciprocated Gen's ardour, by the way - morphed into "Lady Jaye" and became collaborator in his artistic endeavours. Then came the worst and the best thing to happen to him. In 1995, a fire broke out at American record producer Rick Rubin's home while Genesis was there and he sustained substantial injuries escaping from the inferno. A US court awarded him over $1.5 million in damages.
Genesis put his swollen bank account to work immediately. He had all his teeth removed and replaced with solid gold implants, the procedure filmed and presented as art in the more gullible galleries of New York. And he began paying for major plastic surgery for himself and his wife, to create the third being, the pandrogyne. Then, two years ago, Jaye died suddenly of an unknown pre-existing heart condition that could have been exacerbated by all the surgery. In videos posted on the internet (the latest form of manifesto) he seems genuinely heart-broken, lost.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a short figure in a dirty white muslin dress materialises before us. Those large bloodhound eyes rimmed in kohl regard me with hostility, his over-pumped lips painted in '60s frosted pink lipstick turned downwards in a sulky pout. I stepped forward to say hello, asking him if he remembered me. "Why should I remember you? I've met about 385,000 people in my life." Oh. I shifted from foot to foot, feeling embarrassed. I tried to jog his memory, repeating one by one the same memories I had just recounted to Christophe. Each tale was greeted with chilly annoyance, with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (the middle name a trace of the lost third being) getting increasingly more irritated and denying all knowledge of any of the episodes.
Only once did he let his guard down: when I mentioned his daughter Caresse, his expression softened and the proud dad emerged to inform us that she was getting married the following week. The entire encounter was strange and awkward and deteriorating by the minute. I smiled at him, touched him (her? them?) on the shoulder and said, "I'm surprised you don't remember me. A bit upset actually." Whereupon Genesis replied, "Well, if you feel like that, we won't do the interview" and flounced off back to the tiny cloakroom doubling as a dressing room. At first we thought it was a prank, a mini "happening" to keep us on our toes but, after seeking out the elusive Matski and sending him off to speak to Genesis, he returned to tell us with a shrug that she was serious. One of the Throbbing Gristle slogans was "disappointment guaranteed" and Genesis certainly lived up to his promise that night.
We did return later for the gig, which I have to admit was surprisingly good in an even more surprising conventional rock n' roll way. Gen's been smart enough to install a first-rate drummer and guitarist, so tight that they stop the rest of the band, two superfluous blondes dressed like young Nicos, from falling apart. Gen sang with his trademark nasal Northern whine and played violin a la John Cage, but delivered an oddly static performance. His memory must be appalling because he needed to refer to his lyric sheet throughout the set. Matski doubled up as sound man and the only time Gen talked to the crowd was to introduce them to his manager, who he called "my bitch".
An encore - a stonking 15-minute rendition of the Velvet Underground's "Foggy Notion" - finally succeeded in getting the whole club rocking. No accident surely that he chose a song by the band from which he has lifted most of his best ideas. Some days later someone pointed out to me that if watching snuff movies and exploiting teenage boys was such an everyday occurrence in the P-Orridge household that he had forgotten it, perhaps Hackney social services did have reason to be worried, all those years ago.

My husband bought me a T-Fal Actifry for my birthday. So far I really like it. At first I was a little dubious about it since it did not appear to be that sturdy, but so far it has cooked up a storm with no problems at all. Tonight I threw together a stir fry. It was made with firm tofu I got at my local Costco, veggies and a sauce I made up from stuff I had on hand. I like tofu, but have never done much with it. I figured a safe place to start would be a stir fry.
To start, I lined a plate with several layers of paper towels and put the tofu on the plate, covered it with more paper towel. I placed another plate on top and weighted the top plate down. I let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours. I wanted to press as much water out of the tofu as possible so it would stay together during cooking. This seemed to work out pretty well.
I cut the tofu into chunks and marinated it, along with a bunch of sliced mushrooms, in a sauce that I made up. The marinade was a bit of random stir fry sauce I had on hand and some hot wing sauce (what can I say, I was cleaning out the fridge). I let the tofu and mushrooms marinate overnight. I saved a little of the marinade as the base for the sauce for the stir fry.
I used carrots, broccoli, onion, asparagus, bean sprouts, garlic, fresh ginger along with the marinated mushrooms and tofu to make the stir fry. I cooked the vegetables in batches, putting those vegetables that I felt would take about the same time to into the Actifry together. I used a bit of coconut oil in each batch.
For the sauce, I mixed a little PB2, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar with the left over marinade. I cooked the bean sprouts, tofu, asparagus and mushrooms in the last batch and added the sauce for the last 5 minutes of cooking. I served the whole mess over steamed brown rice and it was delicious.
I like to play with my food and this was definitely a bit of play that was a tasty surprise. I used up a bunch of stuff I had on hand and experimented with the cooking times for the Actifry. The stir fry came out tender crisp and I don't feel like I used nearly as much oil as I would have if I had done the stir fry the more traditional way.
So far I would say that I am very pleased with my Actifry and would recommend it. It is not an inexpensive kitchen gadget, but if it will help me get back to my goal weight with Weight Watchers it will quickly pay for itself.
TFal in no way compensated me for the opinions offered in this post.

Price paid: $ 40
Purchased from: Guitar Fetish
Sound — 9
Up for review, is a Alnico II vintage style neck humbucking pickups from Guitarfetish.com. The pickup is vintage correct in construction and output and is currently in a Schecter Tempest guitar, a special model that was made for Jagermeister and given to distributors. The guitar is made of basswood I believe, with a maple bolt on neck. I have a Seymour Duncan Anico II Pro humbucker in the bridge position. The sound out of this pickup is quite impressive. I expected that there would be a great let down when compared to the Duncan, but that is not the case. I'm not going to say the quality and tone matches perfectly, but it holds up very well with the Duncan, and the tone is spot on. It has a beautiful clear articulate tone, with a smooth ringin high and balanced bass sound. The guitar that this pickup is in has a bright open acoustic tone before being plugged in, that said, this pickup played clean is very impressive. It can go from jazz to pop to classic rock with no problem, and matches well with the distortion that come from my amps, a Epiphone Valve Jr. half stack, a Four Force EM1 amp and a Roland Cube portable amp. It would probably be able to handle country music, as the pickup is very articulate and responsive to tone controls. The sound of this pickup is brightener than the humbucker it replaced, and that being said, brighter in that the highs have a smooth ringing to its tone where as the standard pickup that was with the guitar, with Schecter's name stamped on it but manufactured by Belcat. Tended to be more shrill on the high end of the tone.
Reliability & Durability — 9
Guitar Fetish's GFS pickups are very well constructed. I have used several of their products and have never had any problems with them. The materials used are top notch, and I have always had a great response from Guitar Fetish if I have any questions. For a pickup made overseas the quality is excellent and on par with american made pickups. One of the things I like most about GFS, is that they also send the pickup ring and the hardware, which is most cases is better than the hardware that you are replacing. While it is not a "boutique" pickup, for the price that you pay for their products, unless you absolutely have to have the "name" product, you are not giving up that much using GFS products, they will get the job done.
Overall Impression — 9
I like to play a variety of music, and after using this pickup, I would definitely go back to Guitar Fetish for any pickups in the future. It is matching well with the Duncan, so I'm happy to say the least. Compared to the Duncan, it's not quite as smooth as the said pickup, but it is smooth to begin with, and if cost is a concern when modifying a guitar, or if you have a project, I can't recommend GFS enough. This is my 5th product from GFS, and have never gotten a bad one ever. Besides their pickups, this company also offers hardware and electronic components and if you purchase from them, they are efficient when it comes to processing you order and you get what you order in a few days, they also offer using the US postal service if you like which is a nice option.

Carrie Cochran, former student of fashion design schools student turned fashion designer to the stars (and non-celebrities), moves on to the next phase of her fashion design career.Whats Carrie's next step after attending one of the many reputable fashion design schools? She started a fashion design business called Karma Kultura.While her motivation for looking into fashion design schools was her love for garments and crafts, Carrie says her inspiration for starting the company was her clients. "I would make custom stage garments all the time and wanted to offer unique accessories to add to my clients' wardrobes."With accessories and garments that are very unconventional, Carrie explains how she creates these pieces. "I would look for things around the house -- junk -- and put it together into interesting designs in the form of wallet chains, bracelets, belts, guitar straps, necklaces, cuffs, and earrings," she explains.Sounds weird, huh? But believe it or not, the funky pieces are worn by fashionistas and celebrities alike nationwide. And it's not like Carrie is just some ordinary crafty diva -- she's a crafty diva, educated at one of the finest fashion design schools, the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. A fashion design career wasn't just handed to her -- she worked hard to get her degree from one of many reputable fashion design schools in the nation."I am proud to say I am a fashion design college graduate, and I have a degree in something I love. With many people wanting to work in fashion -- from stylists to designers, even a public relations -- a degree can give you an advantage," she explains. "Going to fashion designs school will show that you have extensive knowledge, skills, and experience in the industry that has better prepared you to enter the job market." At fashion design schools, Carrie and other students learn about many software programs used in the fashion industry such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, as well as electronic pattern systems.Once completing a degree from one of many fashion design schools, expect to work in various jobs within the fashion design industry like Carrie did. During the process, she networked and made a name for herself, which eventually landed her celebrity clients like Ricky Martin and Serena Williams."My clients loved the [offbeat] pieces and since they were all one-of-a-kind, it made them feel even more special," says the proud business owner.Now what? With Carrie's fashion design career in full swing, she's contemplating her next move. She's already absorbed knowledge from fashion design schools, which led to her designing and collaborating with high-profile celebs. Now with her design business underway, who knows what we'll see next from the creative paragon. Maybe Carrie will go to fashion design graduate school? Who knows? The sky's the limit for the design sensation!
