'Wine Country: From the Missions to Modern Day' opens
TEMECULA ---- The Temecula Valley Museum opens an exhibition April 14 called "Wine Country: From the Missions to Modern Day," to be on display through June 17.
The growing of grapes for winemaking has been a part of the Temecula Valley's history since the days of the early Spanish missions. Missionaries brought with them vine cuttings from Spain to use for the production of wine for sacramental and table use. The climate along the coast near Mission San Luis Rey proved too cool and foggy to allow the grapes to mature enough for winemaking. The Temecula Valley had the ideal climate and soil conditions, and so the history of winemaking in the valley began.
Today, Temecula's Wine Country is a multimillion-dollar industry, producing award-winning wines and bringing tourists to the valley. Take a look at the development of this local industry from the missions to modern day and discover how it has turned Temecula into a charming destination.
The Temecula Valley Museum is in Sam Hicks Monument Park at 28314 Mercedes St., Temecula. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. A $2 donation is suggested. Call 951-694-6450.

Reality stars coming to Temecula for Reality Rally
TEMECULA ---- More than 90 stars from a variety of reality television shows will be coming to Temecula to participate in this year's Reality Rally and "Fun For Funds" weekend, April 13-15.
The Rally, to be held April 14, is a four-hour "Amazing Race" kind of game, where participants will be walking or running throughout Temecula's Old Town in a competition involving fun challenges. Teams consist of three members of the public and a Reality Star added to make a team of four. Afterward, the public can meet and chat with the stars at evening parties. It is all to raise funds for Michelle's Place, Breast Cancer Resource Center.
New to the Reality Rally is "Big Brother" star Adam Poch. With his rough exterior, love for heavy metal, and his heart of gold, he has earned the nickname "The Heavy Metal Teddy Bear." He won over the hearts of his castmates as well as millions of viewers this past summer while on CBS' "Big Brother 13."
Sadly, Adam is all too familiar with the effects of cancer. His mother died in 2007 from renal cell cancer.
"I am honored to be a part of Reality Rally and really looking forward to this event because it is more than just sending a check," Poch said in a press release. "It is a way to connect with fans, have fun with other reality people, and most of all raise money and awareness for such a great cause."
Another first-timer is Richard Hatch, the first winner of "Survivor," the creator of the Survivor Alliance. He attends many charity events, and a private lunch with him and Yau Man Chan (another reality star) on April 13 in Temecula is up for auction to raise more funds.
Returning to the Reality Rally is Sandra Diaz-Twine, the winner of the seventh season of "Survivor: Pearl Islands" and the winner of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains." She is the show's first and only two-time winner.
"I love doing charity work; I like to give back to the community," Diaz-Twine said in the press release. "If my appearances alone help out, I am willing to do anything for any cause that is not only near and dear to my heart but anyone else's heart."

text: Ok, first off let me start off by saying that I am not a reviewer or an audiophile. I am an enthusiast with a half decent ear. I am also a drummer/guitar player (primarily drums) and have spent many hours on stage/studio with a bass player. So I suppose I have a basic idea on how the rhythm section is supposed to sound when reproduced. This past Tuesday I received my two Hsu VTF-3 subs from AV123.com. The subs were dual boxed and came with a yellow envelope containing the manual, some DVD recommendations for deep bass as well as deep bass music. A cd was also provided that contains 5 songs (classical with some good bass material) and three different pink noise variations. My room is approx. 26' X 16' X 7.5', a fairly large room. I am using Swans Diva 6.1 mains, Swans Diva C3 center, Swans Diva 2.1 as rears, powered by an Anthem MCA5 mkII with an Outlaw 950 pre/pro. Before I get to the sound I will say that these subs look much better in person than the pics I've seen on the net but that is usually the case with most gear. They are built like a tank. They weigh 85lbs. each. I'm not sure what the finish is made of but I doubt very much that any harm could come to the finish without a lot of effort. The subs are black, they kind of look grey in the photos I've seen. The subs come with a removable port blocker for max extension mode. There is a switch on the back for max extension or max output mode as well as switches for phase and crossover in or out. The power cord is also removable. There is a decent sized heat sink sticking out of the back as well (which has yet to get beyond barely warm). The subs also came with a cheater plug for those who may need it. The grill is removable with a flat jeweler screwdriver or something similar (butter knife), to expose the driver which has the letters HSU in the middle of the cone. Kind of cool looking if you are a "grills off" type of guy like me. I have the subs stacked on top of each other in the same spot as my previous subs (Dual SVS 20-39CS with Samson S700). I have my system calibrated with AVIA at 82db (seemed loud enough to me). The subs are running 3-4 db hot. The same calibration settings as my previous sub setup. So how do they sound? This is the part where I have to put in my disclaimer. The opinions expressed below are exactly that....my opinions. I don't have any graphs or anything of the sort. First off, I have listened to one sub as well as the two. I listen to a lot of music, my tastes range from Heavy Metal to New Age. This is my 3rd sub configuration. My 1st sub was an Energy e: xl-S12, my second setup was a dual 20-39CS combo with Samson S700 amp. The VTF-3 is a very dynamic sub compared to my previous setups. With music the notes are much cleaner, they have more punch, and they seem to be faster, tighter and less strained at higher volumes. Mind you, in all fairness, the price difference is quite substantial. I will go out on a limb and say that one VTF-3 is almost comparable to my dual 20-39CS setup as far as volume goes at my listening levels, but I have not taken any measurements so I can't say for sure. All I can say is that I rarely listen at reference level, usually about 10db below reference and the single VTF-3 can definitely hold up without a problem. Regardless of volume, the VTF-3 is the most musically dynamic of all of my previous subs. Drums, especially kick drums really shine with the VTF-3. I was watching the Fleetwood Mac "The Dance" DVD and the kick drum at the beginning of the "The Chain" sounded and felt like the real thing. The bass guitar notes were very clear and musical as well. For HT the subs are awesome, almost scary with two, they really make their presence felt. These subs really seem to pressurize my room, providing a nice whack in the chest during the heavy LFE tracks. I ended up buying two because I had two previously. I had no intentions of selling my SVS subs but I was given an offer I couldn't refuse so I did. I was going to go with a dual SVS 20-39CS+ with Samson combo but I read a review that made me consider the VTF-3. I have no intentions of turning this into a comparison or showdown between SVS and Hsu. They are both very good subs, and again, they are different price points so it would not be fair to do a direct comparison. If you are looking for a good sub for both music and HT with some real nice punch, I highly recommend the Hsu. I apologize for my wording and lack of graphs and such, this is my first "review" and I don¡¦t really even consider it to be that. I consider it more to be my opinion/thoughts. I could post more and I'm sure I will end up posting more in the future if necessary. My 2 cents, Sean

Why the Supply Chain Needs to Embrace Lean Manufacturing Principles According to Narayan Laksham
Why the Supply Chain Needs to Embrace Lean Manufacturing Principles According to Narayan Laksham
Ultriva focuses on leaning the supply chain. One of the fastest and most important factors to apply lean manufacturing principles to the material replenishment process is establishing a pull system. The underlying methodology for implementing a pull system is referred to as kanban, and historically kanban has always been used as a manual card-based system. Paper-based kanban was new and revolutionary 30 years ago; it worked well when manufacturing was vertically integrated and suppliers were located within a short radius.
The current global, 24/7 fast-paced environment where manufacturing is far less integrated and suppliers are located on nearly every continent renders the manual kanban card system obsolete. Demonstrating agility and responsiveness to this new manufacturing alacrity was part of facing the changing realities of the supply chain. Ultriva pioneered the electronic kanban which turns the manual card system into a powerful closed-loop kanban through supplier collaboration and the real-time flow of order, shipment and receipt information. Ultriva maintains the visual nature of Kanban while guaranteeing "no lost cards" or "no duplicate cards." The electronic Kanban is workflow-controlled to keep track of who did what, when and where. This allows several metrics to be automatically computed.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Kallya G.
Review for People Helping Horses, Arlington, WA, USA
I have come to know and admire and respect PHH for sometime. Unfortunately, my finances have not allowed me to contribute as much as I would have liked because PHH deserve all the financial help they can get. It is a wonderful and compassionate organization that touches people's heart and soul. Every time I read how many horses they have saved from abuse and slaughter, it renews my faith in the human race. I have a passion for horses. I consider them angelic beings. They are intuitive and make wonderful companions and pets. Just look into a horse's eyes and you will actually recognize that these animals are more than human. Yet, they depend on human kindness which many times is very scarce. PHH is a rare organization in recognizing the sensitivity and loving nature of horses. The love and tender care they give to these beautiful angelic beings invites my admiration and respect. I pray that they receive all the financial help they deserve to carry on their sacred mission.
More Feedback

I don't think there are any changes to be made. This organization is run efficiently and with a lot of love and tender care for the horses they nurture.

The Female Choice: Kristen SchaalWe're not dumb enough to think only one woman should be considered for this job, but network executives rarely give us reason to expect gender equality. Flight of the Conchords and 30 Rock actress Kristen Schaal might not seem like the most obvious prospect for a front-and-center host, but she shares Colbert's talent for playing aggressively aloof characters who let irony fly right over their heads. While many across the Internet are calling for Tina Fey or Chelsea Handler to get the job, neither of them really reflect Comedy Central's anarchic nature the way Schaal does. Her stand-up sets are occasionally surreal, and she's well-versed in voice work on shows like Bob's Burgers and Gravity Falls, so is it possible the world needs a meta animated interview show with lots of animals and hollering?
It's no surprise that Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee is also on everyone's minds as a replacement, but let's not forget that Schaal appears regularly on that series as the "Senior Women's Issues Correspondent," and her below segment on the children's dating service KDate should prove how well she could do in the host's chair.

It comes after the 19 year old was arrested in the early hours of January 23 while driving a rented yellow Lamborghini at twice the speed limit.
The Canadian singer is said to have failed a sobriety test and admitted to having drunk a beer, taken a prescription drug and smoked marijuana.
After spending time in a jail cell he was charged with driving under the influence of drink or drugs, driving without a valid license and resisting arrest. His bail was set at $2,500 (£1,500) before his release.
However, according to documents on the Miami-Dade County Court Clerk's website, Bieber appears to now only be charged with resisting arrest without violence.
The teenager jetted out of Miami after his arrest and has been photographed in Panama over the past few days.
It is believed his manager Scooter Braun and mentor Usher have flown to Panama to speak to the singer about concerns they have over his recent behaviour.
Bieber was due to appear in court back in Miami at 8.30am on Monday morning.
Police chief Raymond Martinez said the star was "belligerent" when asked to get out of the car and that his movements had been "slow" and "deliberate" during his arrest.
Bieber was arrested alongside his friend, the R&B artist Khalil, who had been driving a red Ferrari when they were stopped.

A MAN died from a heart attack just three weeks after he was involved in a motorcycle accident.
An inquest heard how Roger Farley was rushed to Southampton General Hospital after crashing into a metal fence at the side of the A34, at the junction with Filmore Lane at West Meon Hut, on May 25.
It is thought the 71-year-old from Linden Lea, in Portchester, had lost control of his Honda ST1100L motorbike as he tried to avoid a collision with a van.
Mr Farley, who was described by family as an experienced and safe motorcyclist, had been recovering in hospital for 16 days when he suffered a heart attack. He died three days later on June 13.
The inquest heard that he had suffered from an underlying heart condition for a number of years which, combined with the road traffic collision, caused a heart attack.
Central Hampshire coroner Grahame Short recorded a determination of death due to a road traffic collision.

Parkland Memorial Hospital sent letters to dozens of women last year to let them know they may have been treated with instruments that were not properly sterilized, according to a newspaper report.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has threatened to eliminate Parkland's Medicare funding after inspectors this summer found infection-control breakdowns, but the letters to obstetrical and gynecological patients were not part of those findings.
Those alerts were revealed after The Dallas Morning News obtained records through the Texas Public Information Act. All patient-identifying information was redacted.
Parkland officials said that 73 women were told last year that they might have come into contact with dirty instruments.
The hospital said in a statement to the newspaper that all of the women were contacted by phone or mail, and most returned for testing and preventive therapy such as vaccines.
The statement said that there were "no medical complications for women who chose follow up care," but added that one clinic patient "had an inconclusive lab result after the full course of follow up" and did not return for further evaluation.
A March 2010 letter to clinic patients said, "We would like to let you know that you may have been exposed to a speculum" -- a vaginal examination instrument -- "that may not have been properly sterilized." Although the infection risk was very low, the letter added, "we would like to evaluate you in our OB/Gyn Intermediate Care Center as soon as possible to offer you preventive medications."
Two days later, another letter told clinic patients they needed to also alert them to the possibility of infecting a sexual partner. "We would recommend that you abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms until notified of negative results after your six month follow up," the letter said.
A third letter soon went out to a different group of women that warned of another possible failure to sterilize instruments. This time the problem had occurred in Parkland's labor and delivery department, one of the nation's busiest.
Parkland blamed the failures on two different issues.
At the clinic, "instruments were picked up from the processing area before proper cleaning," the hospital statement said. "An employee self-reported the issue."
In the labor and delivery department, the problem was described as an equipment failure which made it impossible to verify whether sterilization was complete.
The Texas Department of State Health Services, which conducted the recent inspection for CMS that has jeopardized Parkland's federal funding, said it heard about the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology problems last year but did not investigate.
"This type of situation does not have to be reported to us," department spokeswoman Carrie Williams said in an email to the newspaper. "However, if it is determined that disease transmission actually occurred or a cluster of infections were discovered as a result, that would have to be reported."
In the government's recent inspection of Parkland, regulators identified other delivery-room problems.
"The facility did not ensure instruments to be sterilized were arranged so all surfaces would be directly exposed to the sterilizing agent," according to the inspectors' report. All the clamps and scissors used during childbirth "had been sterilized with their tips in the `closed' position."
In its plan to address the problems cited by government inspectors, Parkland said it began taking corrective action as soon as it was made aware.

Gender Differences in Heart Health
While heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women, it doesn't affect them in the same way. Find out the gender differences in heart disease development, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment.
Heart disease research is now being conducted on women, not just men, and the results indicate that there a number of very important differences between the genders.
Development, Risk Factors
• Women tend to develop plaque in the smaller arteries near the heart (microvascular disease) whereas men are much more likely to develop plaque in the major arteries.
• Chronic stress doubles the risk of heart disease, and women experience greater levels of acute and chronic stress than men, as well as more stress-related mental illness.
• For both men and women, one drink a day can lower the risk of heart disease. But for women, drinking more than that (2-4 drinks) increases the risk by 45%, while for men drinking that amount still decreased the risk.
• Low levels of HDL cholesterol seem to be a stronger risk factor for women than for men.
• An angiogram won't pick up the plaque in the smaller arteries; an MRI or stress test are better at detecting this problem.
• Cardiac stress tests are accurate for men, but not as much for women; misleading treadmill results occurred in 35 percent of the women studied.
• Stress tests induced by drugs rather than exercise may actually be preferable in women. Either stress test when combined with echocardiography is more accurate for diagnosing heart disease in women.
Heart Attack Symptoms
• Men are more likely to experience the classic stabbing/crushing chest pain or pressure, tingling/pain in left arm and shortness of breath, but can also have atypical symptoms.
• Women are more likely to have "atypical" symptoms such as nausea, weakness, lethargy, upper back/neck/jaw pain, clamminess, dizziness and shortness of breath, but can also experience the classic symptoms. They also often start to have symptoms days or weeks in advance.
• Women with heart attacks are more likely to die than men.
Treatment & Prevention
• Statins do not have a preventive benefit for women as they may for men; the risk of heart attack or death appears to be lowered only in women who already have heart disease. Women are also more likely to develop type 2 diabetes while on statins than are men.
• Research from Harvard University shows that unlike with men, aspirin does not prevent a first heart attack or death in healthy women under 65. (Some women under 65 may still benefit from aspirin therapy, such as those with risk factors for heart disease or stroke.)
• Women are less likely to get clot-busting medication than men (partially because they are not treated as quickly for heart attacks as men, and the drugs are time-sensitive). And while women's survival does improve when they get the drug, it does not improve as men's.
• More women die after angioplasty and heart bypass surgery, and their complication rates are higher than for men. This may be due in part to the fact that women's heart disease is often at a more advanced stage when surgery is performed.
Even with the many differences, both men and women can take lifestyle steps to greatly reduce their risk for heart disease and heart attacks (see Reduce Your Heart Attack Risk).

It is now abundantly clear that colossal blunders were made at BlackBerry Ltd.
The company blew through billions of dollars developing, making and marketing products that consumers aren't buying.
So where is the contrition for this mess? A great Canadian company is on the ropes, and no one is owning up to the beating.
Thorsten Heins certainly hasn't. He's out as chief executive after just 22 months on the job, but is being rewarded for failure with a multimillion-dollar severance package.
Nor have the two men who preceded him at BlackBerry – former co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. Mr. Balsillie quietly snipes from the sidelines that if only Mr. Heins and the board of directors had listened to him about pushing the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) instant messaging system the company would be fine. Mr. Lazaridis, the company's technology visionary, blames Mr. Heins for underestimating the appeal of the traditional keyboard to BlackBerry's most loyal fans.
And the board of directors, which hired Mr. Heins and approved his golden handshake, isn't owning up to its own trail of miscues. Ditto for Prem Watsa, whose Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. failed to deliver on a private buyout.
The BlackBerry saga underscores a disturbing pattern – in the corporate world, and in politics. Personal accountability is out. Finger-pointing is in.
Consider the scandals that have engulfed Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.
It is a disgrace that senators abused their expense accounts, and that a prominent mayor smoked crack cocaine and cavorted with alleged drug dealers.
But the real scandal is the stunning failure of the people involved to accept responsibility for bad behaviour.
Mr. Harper refuses to be tied to the actions of Nigel Wright, his once trusted right-hand man and former chief of staff who secretly paid off Senator Mike Duffy's illegitimate expense claims. The Prime Minister has also distanced himself from the Conservative Party of Canada, which worked in the backrooms to negotiate a settlement with Mr. Duffy, and later reimbursed his legal fees.
Mr. Harper readily admits mistakes were made – just not by him. The senators let him down. Mr. Wright let him down.
Forgotten, it seems, is that the Prime Minister's Office is an extension of Mr. Harper himself. It does work in his name. And he's the leader of the Conservative Party.
"He wants to be in charge, he just does not want to be responsible," NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair pointed out as he grilled the Prime Minister during Question Period last week.
The moral vacuum in Ottawa pales, however, compared with what's happening in Toronto. Mayor Rob Ford has spent more than six months lying about an apparent substance-abuse problem. At every turn, he has blamed others for his predicament, including political opponents, the news media and Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair. Mr. Ford belatedly admitted that he embarrassed the city after a video apparently showing him smoking crack wound up in police hands. But he has stopped far short of the ultimate expression of responsibility – quitting as mayor.
At BlackBerry, blame for the severely degraded condition of the company must lie with those who collectively guided its strategic direction for the past several years – Mr. Heins, Mr. Balsillie, Mr. Lazaridis and the board. Its reputation with customers and business partners is in tatters after the aborted sale of the company, dwindling market share, mounting losses and the flight of scores of its best and brightest minds.
The unfortunate message here is that it really doesn't matter what leaders do, or what happens on their watch. Arrogant defiance and blame-shifting has replaced personal responsibility. If they looked a little more closely in the mirror, such leaders might not like the image staring back at them.
As U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt once famously put it: "If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."

Poor little Clover went to the vet a few weeks ago basically because her poo was not looking normal. They did X-rays and said she had a mass in her stomach. Two days later she had surgery to remove her uterous and ovaries. She was out of it for the first day, but gradually came around and is now just fine. She ended up a three inch incision on her belly, but she left it alone and it has healed quite well. We occasionally refer to her a "Scar Belly" now. Here is a picture of her (brown bunny) and Toby--hopefully.
Oh, I"m soo sorry to hear about what Clover had to go through. I am very happy to hear she is doing okay now. Whew!!! I know you must have been very worried.
Such a precious picture!
Yahoo for happy healthy healing!

CHATHAM, Ont. -- A family that tried to avoid a $60 fee by giving one of their dogs to a shelter now regrets the move and wants it back -- but the animal has already been adopted.
Earlier this month, Henry and Rose Brown gave up Ricky, their poodle mix, after their landlord told them they were not allowed to have four dogs at their house.
They had previously brought a stray cat to the OPSCA and were charged $60. They didn't want to pay a fee again, so they told the animal shelter that Ricky wasn't their dog.
"The only way we thought we would get away with it is if we lied and said it was a stray," Henry Brown said Thursday.
"We would like him back. We miss him," he said.
Brown said he returned to the shelter the same day to get Ricky back but was told someone else was coming to look at the dog.
He said he went back to the shelter for four days in a row, begging and pleading to get his dog back, telling them he had made a mistake.
The Browns said Ricky's municipal dog tags proved he was their dog.
But the shelter ignored their pleas and the dog was later adopted, Brown said.
"Okay, we lied and said it was a stray, but you have to punish me for that?" Brown said Thursday.
"There is a hole in this family, because it's like giving away your kids."
He admits it's a long shot, but he and his wife are hoping that Ricky's adopted family will consider returning the dog to his original owners. They no longer care what the landlord thinks.
"If I got to move, then I will move," he said.
The shelter could not be reached Thursday for comment.

Sheriff Lee Baca previews House panel testimony at ACLU "People's Hearing"
On Thursday, March 10, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca will testify before the first in a series of hearings on radicalization in the American Muslim community. Organized by Peter King, a Republican Congressman from New York and the chairman of the House's Committee on Homeland Security, the hearing is titled: "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response."
On Tuesday night, Baca spoke to a hearing convened by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, a "People's Hearing to Defend Religious Freedom." Seated alongside representatives of faith-based community groups, including Progressive Jewish Alliance Regional Director Eric Greene, Baca gave the 60 people in the Immanuel Presbyterian Church on Wilshire an early taste of the kind of testimony he was planning to offer when he testifies before King's panel on Thursday.
"Violent extremism is not simply a Muslim problem," Baca said. "It is a people problem—people of all religious backgrounds and all kinds of faiths." Baca pointed out that in the nearly ten years since the attacks of Sep. 11, 2001, 77 attacks or attempted terrorist attacks have been made by extremist non-Muslims in the United States. In the same period of time, there have been 41 plots against U.S. targets discovered and thwarted that were organized by Muslims both in the U.S. and internationally.
Instead of holding hearings that hold up members of a particular religious group for unwarranted scrutiny, Baca proposed a model of "public trust policing," which depended upon members of all communities—including the Muslim community—feeling comfortable and able to speak to law enforcement about suspicious activities going on in their communities. To establish such an atmosphere of trust, Baca relies on an interfaith council of more than 200 leaders of various faiths as well as a specific unit of the Sheriff's department dedicated to communicating with the Muslim community of Los Angeles County.
To illustrate just how necessary this kind of policing is, Baca noted another statistic: In the last 10 plots planned in the United States by Muslims, Baca said, "seven of them were discovered and foiled because of Muslim people coming forward and helping local law enforcement."
"Clearly," Baca continued, "the issue of whether or not Muslims cooperate or don't cooperate is already an established fact."
While King has chosen to focus his committee hearings on the radicalization and cooperation of American Muslims, the ACLU's "People's Hearing" focused much of its attention on Islamophobia.
Moderator Isabelle Gunning invited panelists to present "evidence" of Muslim-Americans being victimized and targeted. Among the examples mentioned were the protests last summer against the building or expansions of mosques and Islamic community centers in New York and Temecula, CA, the invective-filled protest in Feb. outside an Islamic Circle of North America fundraiser in Yorba Linda, CA, the numerous instances of vandalism and arson perpetrated against mosques across the country and the two elderly Sikh men who were shot in Elk Grove, CA, last week. The men, dressed in turbans and wearing the traditional Sikh beards, may have been mistaken for Muslims—something that has happened on more than a few occasions since 2001.
The calm and tolerant atmosphere of the "People's Hearing" on Tuesday night allowed for some conversations that likely won't come up in a heated congressional hearing room or over the crowded and often highly partisan airwaves.
Lo Sprague, a board member of an interfaith group who attended the hearing, posed a potentially troublesome question to the panel: "What should one do when religions teach hate?"
Everyone on the panel took a stab at the question—even the sheriff. Waxing philosophical, Baca said, "Man cannot destroy what God loves and use God's name at the same time."
But the most thoughtful response to the question came from the panel's lone Muslim voice, Edina Lekovic, director of policy and planning for the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
"For Muslim Americans, there has been an undue pressure to condemn our coreligionists when something terrible takes place," Lekovic said. And while she used to find this expectation frustrating, Lekovic has since changed her mind.
"We do have, each of us, a moral responsibility to speak up when our coreligionists act in a way that we believe is immoral," Lekovic said.

Welcome to Night Two of "American Idol": Return to Judges' Island: The Final 24, Finally.
When we last left Judges Island 640 commercials ago, the show had ended abruptly with Adam Brock tearfully awaiting a verdict. Would judges Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez whack a loveable guy who sang really well, was crying into his grandfather's hankie, had a photo of his adorable toddler on his ATT iPhone, and probably drives a Ford and drinks Coke?
"I love to watch a man cry, so I hate to do this but you're going through," Tyler ays. Exit Adam, sobbing.
Next is Jeremy Rosado, the jolly 19-year-old who is not only a loud cheerer for all the other contestants, but is one of JLo's Goooosieees! (we're talking goose pimples here) so we know he's going through.
Shannon Magrane at 16 is one of those disconnects: Looks like she should be captain of a corn belt high school girls basketball team, but sings soulfully if wobbly. We get a replay of Tyler calling her "hot, humid and happening" in front of her father, former pro pitcher Joe Magrane, who tells show host Ryan Seacrest backstage "everyone told me to wring his neck." She's a shoo-in. "Does your Daddy still hate me?" Tyler pretends to ask her – after she leaves Judges' Island.
Remember 23-year-old Scott Dangerfield, who is a second-time auditioner, when he made it this far last time but dropped out? Neither do we, but JLo does, because she loved him last year. This year – not so much so, with not a lot of regret, she gets to give him the bad news.
Seventeen year old Skylar Laine is a country shouter who's feeling plenty nervous because "country" women have already been put through into the Top 24. During her final song, she'd performed Reba McEntire's "Fancy," and to say she's no Reba is putting it mildly. But "Idol" is doubling down on country women this year and she gets her ticket off the island. She's so excited, she's tempted to jump in the water but "my momma would kill me."
"Somebody's got to do it," says Tyler, ominously.
Next, Hallie Day, "country crooner" Chase Likens, and another returnee named Aaron Marcellus make the Top 24 in short order, Seacrest tells us on his way to promising "a shocking turn of events that will change everything" while we hear someone scream.
Deandre Brackensick, another repeat auditioner, who looks alarmingly Milli Vanilli but who actually can sing – well -- gets congratulated by JLo: "We could see your confidence has grown, we could see your voice has grown. " Deandre's a go this year.
Poor Jermaine Jones, the big guy with the big baritone voice, is cracking under the pressure of waiting for the next ferry to the island, and Idol's award-winning Cracking Under the Pressure Documentary Unit just won't get the camera out of his face. Finally, he gets the call, while Seacrest holds his mother's hands outside. Randy starts out by pulling a long face and calling him "one of the most different artists we've had in a long time" so right away we know Jermaine is heading for more weepies. And so is JLo. "I'd thought I'd become a singer in this business to break people's hearts in a good way," Tyler says sadly, though mostly sounding like a rocker who misses his early touring days.
The clock must be running out on Idol's rental of Cirque du Soleil's soup cauldron set, because three girls get invited to Judges' Island at the same time: Shelby Tweten, Ariel Sprague, and Hollie Cavanagh. Only Hollie makes it through. It's extremely underwhelming.
Meanwhile, Seacrest, sensing this episode of "Idol" is getting just a wee bit repetitive and dull-ish, is back with another "shocking piece of news that will have everyone talking" tease, while we hear Randy shout, "Oh, my god!"
Two of the cutest guy auditioners are all that's left: David Leathers, Jr., who hails from the Michael Jackson Singing Academy, and boys choir breakout singer Eben Franckewitz are sent in together. Tyler sums up their situation: David, the lady stealer, suffers from over-confidence, while Eben suffers from under-confidence — which apparently is better, because Eben makes it into the Top 24 and David does not. They return backstage to their families for a hug for Eben, and a shrug and hug for David.
But wait! Seacrest promised us a shock and we're not leaving till we get one!
What could it be?!
After serious consideration — and observing the Google trending when "The X Factor's" Supreme Mentor Simon Cowell decided last fall to add one extra member to his team, cause who was gonna stop him, and she turned out to be the eventual competition winner Melanie Amaro — the "Idol" judges have decided to add an extra guy. But we won't know till Tuesday whether that lucky guy is:
a) Jermaine Jones, the Gentle Giant
b) Richie Law, the Arrogant Cowboy
c) David Leathers, Jr. the New Michael
d) Johnny Keyser, The Singing Waiter Who Gave JLo the Vapors
And, in re that chick screaming and Randy shouting "Oh, my god!", once the Top 25 were picked, Tyler took off his shirt, dropped his pants, mooned the camera, walked to the edge of Judges' Island, and dove into the Cirque du drink.
"I'm coming, Mom!" Tyler said as he swam.
So that's it, America, your Top Nearly 25:
Adam Brock
Phil Phillips
Eben Franckewitz
Joshua Ledet
Reed Grimm
Aaron Marcellus
Colton Dixon
Heejun Han
Chase Likens
DeAndre Brackensick

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
My father passed away in Florida and had joint ownership of his home with my stepmother who terminally ill- can she transfer the house to her sister because my father died without a will but orally said it would be left to my family upon her demise?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Once your stepmother becomes the owner of the property she can do with it as she pleases. However, if you can establish with documentary evidence and overwhelming persuasion that it was her understanding that she would only keep the property for life and thereafter give it to your family, you might have a case in court to bring that result about.
I agree with Norman, presuming the Deed had them as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants by the entirety (JTROS between spouses). In that case, your stepmother became the absolute sole owner and can do whatever she wants, unless, as Norman says, you could prove otherwise. This would be the case even if Dad had a Will, as his Will would only operate on assets he owned individually, not jointly with someone who had survivorship rights. On the other hand, if the Deed said they were tenants in common, which is joint ownership, but without survivorship rights, you may be entitled to part ownership, even if Dad did not have a Will. So, first the Deed must be interpreted as to what type of joint ownership is involved - survivorship or not, and then, if survivorship is involved, what proofs were there, if any, that you would inherit on stepmother's death.
You will need clear and convincing evidence in Florida to overcome the presumption of " joint tenancy with right to survivor".

This week, Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata, Argentina remarked that the current financial crisis is due to people looking only at the short-term, when instead, the purpose of finances should be used for "the concrete development of nations."
"This touches upon a fundamental point of the Church's Social Teaching: finances should be at the service of the production, work and concrete development of the nations," the archbishop said in his program "Keys to a Better World," as he referred to Pope Benedict XVI's message for the World Day of Peace.
Speaking about the current financial crisis, Archbishop Aguer warned that attention has not been paid "to the fundamental teachings of the Church's Social Doctrine." The Pope, he said, "correctly points out that the short-sightedness of financial profit has been the problem," as well as not looking at "the relationship between financial investments and truly productive processes that provide work and create development and progress for nations."
Archbishop Aguer noted that just as the Pope said, the short-sighted vision of finances has led us to go from "a phase of financial euphoria" to "a phase of financial depression that has resulted in immeasurable ruin not only in the financial markets" but also in many families who are going to wind up in extreme poverty.
"I hope the voice of the Church, which has resounded for decades - and I would say, for centuries, because this has its basis in the Sacred Scriptures - will someday be heeded," the archbishop concluded.

Update: Video now removed. Given the way these videos come and go, we can't promise it will be around permanently. But while it's up, here's what looks to be like a genuine casting tape for the role of Hodor, intended for Nina Gold who is the casting agent in the U.K. for HBO's Game of Thrones production:
The hopeful Hodor is Kristian Nairn, a professional DJ according to his MySpace page.
It seems likely that the production for HBO's Game of Thrones has decided to present the Dothraki culture as a multi-ethnic one, a realization that dawned on us today when an Irish actor of African origin, Yare Jegbefume, revealed on Twitter that he had auditioned for the parts of two Dothraki warriors, Jhogo (one of Daenerys's guards) and Qotho (one of Drogo's bloodriders). In retrospect, the fact that many of the wedding dancers that have been noted (such as Kelechi Nwanokwu) were also black should have suggested not that they were supposed to represent slaves from far-flung regions (as we had initially assumed) but that the production was taking this particular course.
Although this does not fit the Dothraki as represented in the books—their appearance being a much more homogenous look, a mix of Native American in regards to their coppery skin and Asian due to their eyes and flatter faces—it sounds like an excellent way to widen the field to find the best possible actors. We can't wait to see how the Dothraki appear on screen next year!
According to a comment from GRRM, principal photography has been pushed back to late July for HBO's Game of Thrones. Nothing really bad about this, as bringing in so many disparate logistical things together can be difficult, but there's always the possibility that there's interesting reasons for it, like having to wait on a newly-cast lead (ala Daenerys) to be free to work, or a director, or other things of this sort.
GRRM also notes that he's unlikely to spend any time in Northern Ireland to watch the filming, except possibly when his own episode (episode 8) is filmed, and doubtless when he's in the area for Octocon in October.
George R.R. Martin mentions that he's come back from a convention to some hundred new auditions tapes. He notes some of the roles actors are seeking in the tapes: Rast (one of the recruits on the Wall), Mord (brutish jailer at the Eyrie), Jhogo (one of the Dothraki warriors assigned as personal guard to Daenerys) are among the smaller parts, while Lord Tywin Lannister, Ser Barristan Selmy, and Lysa Arryn are among the larger parts.
We expect that the first casting announcements are likely to come by the end of the month, or early next month, with production set to begin in earnest right around the end of June or start of July.
Some recent reports and finds on the web have helped clarify something of which of the more minor tertiary roles will be cut, reduced, or kept in place in the course of HBO's adaption of A Song of Ice and Fire.
Lord Ned's Head reports that at this weekend's LepreCon convention, GRRM discussed the HBO series as part of a Q&A. He indicated that Syrio Forel remains (he's written "scenes" for him in episode 8), but that the guardsman Desmond is gone. Other roles, such as Jon Snow's fellow recruits, may be reduced to just a few line (e.g. Grenn and Pyp) or be cut entirely or be reduced to background characters with no lines (e.g. Toad, Rast, and so on).
raijap tweeted about this webpage for actress Caroline Grace-Cassidy, which states that she auditioned this month (possibly in the recent Dublin auditions?) for the role of the wildling woman, Osha, which certainly suggests that character is planned to be in the series.
It's interesting that agents and actors are posting audition tapes up onto video streaming sites such as Youtube and Vimeo. We've reported on the Charlotte Salt audition previously (since removed from Youtube), but Winter is Coming readers have discovered three more actresses auditioning for parts. According to a member of the A Song of Ice and Fire forum who used to work in Hollywood, these could be posted to ease getting them to a casting director, or to more easily allow other members of an agency to examine the auditions (thanks, Brudewollen).
Now, imagine yourself in the place of the casting director, the producers, and GRRM. You've received a bundle of audition tapes for the roles of Daenerys and Doreah. Which of these appeal to you more? Who gets the setting and characters and tone across? Are further auditions merited? I don't envy them their labor! Videos embedded below:
Mark Addy, cast as Robert Baratheon in HBO's Game of Thrones, will be appearing on screens around the world in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood this weekend. He's cast in the role of Friar Tuck, a part that he tells the BBC he was offered after Scott saw him appear in the Red Riding trilogy. Close watchers of the casting process for Game of Thrones will recall that Red Riding also featured Sean Bean and Joseph Mawle from the production, and was cast by the pilot's U.K. casting director, Nina Gold.
A still from the film featuring Addy can be found at Ace Showbiz.
A tweet from ickle_tayto suggests that some sort of auditioning for HBO's Game of Thrones has been taking place in Dublin's Central Hotel today, with many nervous actors about. Very interesting, indeed.
As Adam Whitehead of the Wertzone (who brought this to our attention at the A Song of Ice and Fire forum) notes, ickle_tayto is one of the organizers/ of this year's Octocon science fiction and fantasy convention, at which GRRM will be a Guest of Honor.
Update: A response to a query suggests that the auditioning is for small parts, and possibly extras. A cursory search shows that some extras casting agencies, such as MovieExtras.ie, make use of the Central Hotel's facilities for this purpose.
The pictures from the Conan shoot in Bulgaria are flooding pretty much every geek film site out there, but we thought we might as well hop on the bandwagon and point them out, as some of them feature Jason Momoa in the titular role. He looks suitably barbaric, which is a good sign for his role as Drogo in HBO's Game of Thrones and certainly even more muscular than when we last saw him at the pilot wrap party.
Will he retain that level of muscle tone for the reshoots? It'll be interesting to see when the we get our first look at him as Khal Drogo in publicity stills as the air date approaches.
It's interesting to read GRRM's high praise (there are spoilers) for Tamzin Merchant—formerly cast as Daenerys in the pilot for HBO's Game of Thrones—and her performance in the fifth episode of the Tudors. It's very clear that he's saddened that she will not be continuing on with the series. Obviously, the reasons for Merchant's departure from Game of Thrones are unknown, and may never be revealed, but it does not seem very likely that it had to do with GRRM (and perhaps other producers?) having any issues with her performance.
No decision has yet been made in casting for Daenerys Targaryen, from what GRRM has recently indicated, but we expect it will be nailed down by the end of the month or, at the latest, the beginning of next month.
GRRM has more remarks to share concerning the ongoing casting process for HBO's Game of Thrones. Most notably, no one has yet been cast, but they are getting close on some roles, he thinks. He adds that he's uncertain that he'll be able to provide hints, as he did for the pilot, but if so he promises to use the Froggy the Gremlin image on those posts to indicateit.
A short snippet from his post follows, naming some of the characters whose audition tapes he's been reviewing:
"I've been looking at many audition tapes. Varys. Littlefinger. Pyp. Grenn. Sam. Ser Gregor. Renly. Bronn. Septa Mordane. Jory. The Old Bear. Even Marillion. And probably some other characters that I've forgotten about, writing this off the top of my head.
"Some very hard choices await us. For some parts, a wealth of great possibilities, and no way to go wrong. For others, two or three strong contenders, then it tails off sharply. For a few, we have yet to see anyone who excites us, so the search goes on."
At his "Not a Blog", George R.R. Martin shares some odds and ends. Among them are some interesting remarks on the casting process, in which he notes that casting is roughly in order of a character's appearance, so some roles (such as Tywin Lannister and Shae) will be cast later. They are "mostly concerned with filling parts for the pilot reshoots and episode two." Obviously, Daenerys is one of those parts, but we've previously been told that many of the characters with no lines in the pilot—Tommen has been mentioned—were given to extras, essentially, and would now be recast with their permanent actors. Via Twitter, I know that the young actress for the part of Myrcella in the pilot has or will be auditioning to retain the role.
He also adds, regarding actors who've auditioned: "Some actors are household names who would be recognized by any film or television fan, some are veteran character actors, some are brilliant young newcomers. A wealth of choices. There are a lot of fine actors out there."
Charlotte Salt—who I recognize from the previous season of The Tudors, in which she played Lady Ursula Misseldon—has apparently posted her audition tape for the role of Daenerys (which HBO recently confirmed was recasting), or possibly a practice run for it, on YouTube. It's an interesting look to how these audition tapes might look from other actresses.
Thanks to Abyss at Winter is Coming and Jonias Snow at the A Song of Ice and Fire forum for bringing it to our attention.
The comment thread to GRRM's post announcing the completion of the first draft has proved fruitful. He's confirmed that so far as he knows, the character of Ros, "the Red-Headed Whore"—played by Esmé Bianco—is the only one added to the series so far who is not original to the novels, and reveals that she may appear in later episodes; having liked Ms. Bianco when he met her, he even floats the idea of including her character in the novels. Martin also makes this priceless remark, in regards to the script which he called "too long and too expensive": "Too many characters, too many settings, too many SFX shots. What meathead wrote this novel, anyway?"
Later, however, Martin speaks seriously on the difficulty of adapting the series. He emphasizes that the first season is very faithful to the novel, but he anticipates increasing difficulty as the story spreads over a wider geographic area, with more and more characters introduced, some who may become prominent in later novels but who could well be cut when their role appears small. He can't guarantee that the future seasons will be as faithful, but "the intent is there".
The first draft of episode 8's script is now in to David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, according to GRRM, who says it's "too long and too expensive" but that's the case with all the first drafts of screenplays and teleplays he's ever written. He notes that it is tentatively titled "The Pointy End"—a familiar phrase to A Song of Ice and Fire fans—but that it's not been decided whether they'll even use titles.
He finishes with a quote from King Kong, in reference to A Dance with Dragons: "He was a king in his world, but we'll teach him fear…"

Monday, June 30, 2008 | 9:40 a.m.
Being in jail already must have made waking up for an 8 a.m. court appointment a lot easier on Ronald Radke, the man U.S. Marshal's described as a "hardcore fugitive rocker" after arresting him earlier this month. Radke, who was arrested June 17 for failing to report to his probation officer, just so happened to have another pending case in court, on a different matter related to a months-old drug charge.
This morning, the older charge was hashed out in Judge Nancy Oesterle's court. Here are the basics: Radke agreed to pay a $530 fine after he was found in possession of drugs last year. He pleaded guilty, and agreed to pay the fine, at least according to his lawyers. When questioned, Radke told Oesterle he didn't know he agreed to make payment. She noted he had signed a document saying he would. To this, he just shook his head. Because Radke has stayed out of trouble (excepting this most recent charge) Oesterle agreed to give him another 30 days to pay the $530 fine, which Radke said he could immediately. When he makes payment, he'll be "released" on the drug case only. Of course, he'll be "released" right back into the Clark County Detention Center, where he's awaiting trial on a more serious charge.

- June 17 -- Former rock singer arrested in Henderson
Radke, a co-founder of hardcore punk band Escape the Fate, pleaded guilty to battery with substantial bodily harm in January. He was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to make almost $100,000 in restitution. The charges stemmed from a May 2006 fight that resulted in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Cook. Cook was feuding with a friend of Radke's, and was ultimately shot by friend of Radke's in a remote area of North Decatur Boulevard.
When Radke failed to report to his parole officer, he became a wanted man - his face was on the TV news and a team of marshals were hunting him. They arrested him in a decidedly un-punk location: a street corner in suburban Henderson. Now he awaits his next-early morning court wake up, to watch lawyers argue out this probation violation charge.
In court today, Radke looked calm. He played with the his handcuffs, looked out into the crowd for signs of family or friends (it appeared there were none) and otherwise sat like any other inmate, waiting to hear what will happen to him next.

As the first buses with a controversial atheism ad rolled into Fort Worth on Monday, a local church called for a boycott.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Coalition of Reason has taken out ads reading, "Millions of Americans Are Good Without God," on four Fort Worth Transportation Authority buses.
The Rev. Kyev Tatum, senior pastor at Friendship Rock Baptist Church in Fort Worth, said he feels his faith is under attack.
"It's OK to pick at Christians, and we are supposed to shut up and take it," he said. "We are not shutting up, and we are not taking it anymore."
Tatum is calling for a boycott of The T, asking riders to not use the buses unless it's for work or school.
"We are going to stand, and we are going to allow our economics to do our taking, and we are going to withdraw our economic support," he said.
The DFW CoR said the ad campaign was designed to both raise awareness about people who do not believe in a god and help interested people find a local nontheistic group.
The organization is a coalition of 15 local groups that works to raise awareness of atheists in the Metroplex.
The ads cost the group $2,500. The DFW CoR said the resulting exposure is worth far more than that, although the group didn't expect the ads to draw this much attention.
But Tatum said the ads are a direct offense to Christians.
"Why do you want to use our God as a whipping boy to sow your message of indifference and intolerance?" he said.
He said he plans to speak out against the ads at the next transportation meeting on Dec. 15.
Some riders said Monday they are on board with the idea of a boycott.
"It's against the people that don't believe in God, this is what's it's about," said Dee Ingram, who has ridden buses for 40 years.
"I will not get on a bus that has a sign on it," rider Kim Prather said. "I refuse to."
Tatum said members of his church are volunteering vehicles and church buses for people participating in the boycott who need a ride.
NBCDFW's Lita Beck contributed to this report.

Hi, Gemstone. I return the apology for the delay!! LOL I saw lots of Brit jigs on your site so thought you were from the UK. I was in Astoria, Oregon earlier this year should have done it then. There was so much to see and do there though. Maybe next time!! LOL
Hi, Lorna. I've been away for a few days, so sorry for the delay. I'm sure you are too young to remember the Ponderosa!!!!
Hi, parrotman...sorry for the delay in replying...no, I'm in Vancouver, British Columbia...we travelled here in '95...time to return...such a gorgeous area!

Beautiful pic / puzzle.
Absolutely gorgeous to view and to put together.

wikiHow to Make a Lampshade Using Bonnet Hats
Have you ever needed a lampshade but didn't want to buy one? For one that is unique to your style, why not make one at home with bonnets? Making a lampshade with bonnets may sound tricky, but follow the tips in this article to do it easily!
1Collect all of the items to be used.
2Center the socket on top of the figurine.
3Secure the socket using electrical tape.
4Cut out the entire bottom of the first disposable cup. Do this with a knife. The hole should be large enough to fit around the lamp socket
5Fit this bottomless cup over the top of the figurine and socket
6Screw the bulb into the socket.
7Using a second disposable cup, cut it across at its approximate center. Use the top of the cup. Dispose of the bottom section.
8Remove the entire bottom of the gallon plastic container (the container should be a size that your hat will fit over).
9Attach the upper part of the second cup (that you cut horizontally) inside the gallon container. Secure it with the transparent tape, taking care to center it.
10Place the gallon container over the top of your figurine. Be sure to keep the bulb centered in the gallon container body.
11Cover the gallon container with the bonnet hat.
12Arrange it neatly.
13Plug it in and turn it on to see your new lamp!

- Put a switch in the wire to make it easy to switch on the lampshade, or, better still, purchase the socket with an in-line switch. It's safer.
- Use a five-watt light bulb.
- Change the bonnet if you prefer another design.
- Put the lampshade in a secure place, and out of reach of children.
- Check the wire for damage, as it could cause a fire. If any imperfection is found, do not use it as a light!
- Be careful to center the bulb - do not attach it to the plastic container. The bulb can melt if you attach it to the plastic container.
Things You'll Need
- Bonnet hats of any design
- An empty, clean, plastic gallon container (approximately the size of the bonnet hat you're using)
- Two disposable paper cups (not plastic!)
- Any figurine 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall
- A lamp socket, with wire
- A five-watt bulb
- Ordinary adhesive tape
- Cohesive electrical tape

Men Are Slaves – Filth Licker
Walking around barefoot gets all sorts of filth onto the bottoms of Katrina's feet. So this slave really needs to work his tongue overtime to get it all removed. Katrina doesn't have all day, but she stands there patiently while her slave does his best to clean her feet before she goes inside. She looks down at him as he works, judging his performance and likely deciding how painful his next whipping will be based on how well and with how much enthusiasm he licks the filth off her feet.

Two pedals in one!
SW-95 Crybaby Slash Wah
Like the man himself, the new Slash Wah from Dunlop is both revolutionary and classic, right down to its hot rod metallic red finish and cutting edge circuit design. Now you can have all the features and screaming tone of Slash's very own custom wah pedal-a tool as essential to the hard rock icon's style as his Les Paul and Marshall amp. The Slash Wah deploys a searing high gain distortion coupled with the Fasel-loaded Classic circuit for instant lead tone that not only cuts through, but sings with a sweet and lush top end. Convenient LEDs indicate distortion on/off and wah on/off modes, so there's no more guessing game every time you put your foot down. And with the batteries readily accessible from the top of the rocker pedal, you don't have to fumble with a screwdriver when its time to re-power. So get your boot on a Dunlop Slash Wah. Top hat not included.
High gain distortion circuit
Fasel inductor circuitry tuned to Slash's specs
18V operation
LEDs for distortion on/off and wah-wah on/off

Comments about Dunlop SW-95 Cry Baby Slash Wah Pedal:
First off, the Wah wah component of this pedal is, like all other dunlop wah's, awesome. This pedal also has an integrated distortion/overdrive function. This function allows you to play high gain while your amp is turned to clean tone. Just for the heck off it I took the smallest amp I had (Fender G15), put all the knobs to 0 and turned the gain and volume on the wha pedal to max. With the volume on the amp being AT 0! The pedal still delivered awesome distortion at a very loud volume. If you like your distortion this pedal is for you.
Comments about Dunlop SW-95 Cry Baby Slash Wah Pedal:
The main part of ths product that I enjoy is the fact that it is heavy. I thoguht I had died and gone to heaven when I saw the Distortion with Gain and Tone knobs morphed in to a beautiful Cry Baby wah. The resistence on the pedal isn't too hard, but not too soft. It's just right. The colour of the pedal is just an added bonus.
