Considering that I didn't really give two shi[font=verdana]t[/font]s about who was going to show up on the record, it's a good record. The melodic passages are awesome and most of the grind stuff is pretty tight. I wish the record segued a bit better than it does, and there's a couple iffy spots throughout, but overall it's a pretty solid record if you are the sort of person who doesn't get a boner over who plays where.

MIAMI -- A defiant Dick Vermeil insists that his Kansas City Chiefs will make the best of what they hope will be only a one-day excursion into a potential disaster zone.
The Chiefs learned Thursday morning that their Sunday game in Miami had been moved to tonight in order to beat the anticipated weekend arrival of Hurricane Wilma in south Florida.
That meant the club was given only 24 hours notice to complete their game planning, pack their equipment, secure an aircraft and prepare for a 9 a.m. flight today into an area many people are evacuating.
It will be, team president Carl Peterson said, the first time an NFL team has flown on the day of a road game. NFL rules generally require a visiting team to arrive at the game site a day in advance.
"I feel like I'm back at Hillsdale (Calif.) High School," Vermeil said of his last game played under Friday Night Lights.
"Our attitude is that they couldn't have picked a better team to send down there," Vermeil added. "We're going down there to play our best game of the year. Our guys are in a good frame of mind. They accepted this. We would have liked this to be different, but we had no say."
The Chiefs clearly would have preferred the game be moved to a neutral site, if not moved to Kansas City.
"I would have preferred to be out of the way of the storm," Vermeil said. "What will the weather conditions be when those guys play (Friday) night? Will we have a football game or a mud bath?"
Like a western Kansas high school team on a typical road trip, the Chiefs will travel 3 1/2 hours to Miami, hold a pre-game meal and depart for the stadium. It's hardly the typical NFL pre-game routine.
"It puts us at a competitive disadvantage," Peterson said. "It's a lot to ask a team to fly 3 1/2 hours on the day of a regular-season game. It's difficult, but we'll do it because the NFL wants us to."
Added Vermeil: "But we have no excuses to play poorly. This is not a distraction -- it's a change, and if you can't handle change in this business, you shouldn't be in it. Look, if the New Orleans Saints can do what they've been asked to do (for an entire season), the Kansas City Chiefs can do it for a weekend.
"Maybe we can use this to our advantage. Maybe we won't have enough time as coaches to screw it up."
How the Chiefs players are handling the change won't be known until tonight. Vermeil put his players off limits to the media following the last of their Thursday meetings.
Peterson offered Arrowhead as an alternate site, but the NFL was reluctant to deny Miami both the financial gate and the competitive advantage of a home game. Discussions about a neutral site, possibly in Atlanta, never really took off.
The 3-2 Chiefs, like the 2-3 Dolphins, will make the best of limited preparation. In Kansas City's case, Thursday's scheduled full-pads practice was turned into a day-before walkthrough. Red-zone and goal-line preparations normally introduced on Friday were completed on a walkthrough basis Thursday.
"We didn't chop up our game plan or throw it out," Vermeil said. "We're an experienced offensive team, we can do some things some young teams might not be able to do. The foundation of the game plan was put in Wednesday."
Added Peterson: "As I've always said about the NFL, you've got to remain flexible. Those who do the best job of that are usually the most successful."
McCleon, Parker out
Moving the Dolphins game up to Friday means two injured Chiefs starters will not have a chance to recover from their injuries.
Coach Dick Vermeil said starting cornerback Dexter McCleon (groin strain) and wide receiver Samie Parker (knee) will not play in Miami tonight. Dewayne Washington will likely start at McCleon's right corner spot and split the duties with former starter Eric Warfield, Vermeil said. Marc Boerigter will pick up most of Parker's duties.
The Dolphins likely will play without defensive standouts Jason Taylor and Junior Seau.
TV blackout
Moving the NFL game to Friday night means it will not be televised beyond the immediate markets of Kansas City and Miami.
Because the NFL has an agreement in principal not to broadcast games on Friday nights, the traditional night of high school competition, the rescheduled game will be shown only in markets within a 75-mile radius of the two competing cities. As of Thursday afternoon, the game also will not be shown on the NFL pay-per-view package on Direct TV.
Though the game will be shown on Topeka's WIBW (13), as well as Kansas City's KCTV (5), it will not be shown in regional markets such as Pittsburg and Wichita, a move that angered Danny Thomas, general manager of KOAM, the CBS affiliate in Pittsburg.
"We've received numerous phone calls from viewers as they became aware that the game is being rescheduled for Friday," Thomas told the Associated Press. "The network says the NFL says only the home market and adjacent markets can carry it, (and) I say I'm an adjacent market. This is the first time, and I've been general manager since 1988."
Kickoff: 6 p.m., Dolphins Stadium
Records: Chiefs 3-2, Dolphins 2-3
Radio: WIBW-AM (580), KCFX-FM (101.1)
Line: Dolphins by 1.5.

The city street outside an Aleppo hospital comes alive every time casualties arrive, carried to this nondescript facility in charging vehicles from wherever government artillery and aircraft bombs have hit their mark.
These are the gory results that have traumatized Aleppo and created no-go zones so damaged they resemble the 1990s Russian destruction of the Chechen capital, Grozny. This hospital is frequently attacked; upper floors are wrecked, and almost every building around has taken direct hits.
One truck arrives, bearing a 10-year-old boy and an older woman, both with serious shrapnel wounds to their thighs. The brother of the boy is so distraught he shouts himself hoarse and butts his head inconsolably against the unforgiving metal railing of the truck. The father holds his head in horror as his son is loaded onto a gurney and wheeled inside.
Quickly moving to the boy's side as the doctors begin their painful work is an older nurse wearing a black head scarf. She comforts the boy, holding his head and kissing it, when the reassuring touch of her fingers alone are not enough.
When the boy calls out for his mother, the nurse is there.
"This war, the civilians are paying for it, the women, the children," says Abu Mohamed, a hospital staffer. "If we had Stinger [anti-aircraft missiles], this war would be over in a month. We are so angry, because most of the injured are women and children. It breaks our heart."
Such sentiments are often heard in Aleppo – that the US and Europe could do more to help the rebels fight, to more quickly end the war. Abu Mohamed pleads: "I hope the government of the United States will protect the civilians here, at least, because she raises the flag of democracy and it is her duty."
This hospital receives 150 cases a day; after one especially lethal attack a month ago, the wards were overwhelmed with 40 dead and 70 seriously wounded. (An earlier Monitor story reported on the risks for volunteer medics.)
"There is one attack on a hospital every two days. We could die at any moment, but we must continue," says Abu Mohamed. "In our religion, we believe nothing happens to us that isn't fate. God wrote every moment [of our lives]…"
Outside, a man has reached breaking point. "I will kill Bashar and cut his head! I want him dead!" he shouts, as gunmen guarding the hospital try to calm him.
Exiting the hospital, another man carries a dead 7-year-old girl wrapped in a sheet. This is a dangerous spot, so he quickly opens the door of a waiting taxi, laying the young body gently in the back seat for her final ride home.

Otterbox Defender Case for iPhone 4
Company: Otterbox
Price: $49.95
Until now, cases for the iPhone 4 have been scarce. With both the front and back of the phone being made of glass, most of us worry about breakage for good reason. I was fortunate enough to find an Apple bumper for my new iPhone while visiting an Apple Store in Charleston, SC. I've been using this bumper as my primary case, but while proudly showing off the beauty of the hardware, the bumper doesn't offer much protection for the iPhone's back glass.
In true form, Otterbox has has solved this dilemma by delivering what amounts to armor for your iPhone with its new Defender series cases. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors with my phone, I really appreciate the thought Otterbox has put into the Defender. Don't let the higher price-point scare you, the Defender's built quality and functionality fit the price.
The Defender offers multiple layers of protection for your iPhone. The fit and finish are amazing. Apple would be hard pressed to do better. It has a soft lined, hard plastic inner case surrounded by a soft and flexible outer silicone case. Thankfully, the Defender comes with installation instructions.
The inner case has plastic tabs that hold the front and back halves together. It takes a few moments of pondering to figure out how to get it open, but it's extremely secure once in place. It is not waterproof, so I highly recommend you stay away from the pool or hot tub with your phone in hand, no matter what case you have it in.
The front of the Defender offers a built-in clear protective film for the front glass of your iPhone. Unlike previous models, this film is extremely sensitive to the touch and has a coating that resists fingerprints. I don't notice any loss of touch sensitivity when using the case. The film does get the occasional bit of dust between it and the glass, especially if you're keeping your phone in your pockets. I'm happy to see that Otterbox has done a great job addressing this issue, for the Defender case for the iPhone 3GS allows much more dust into the case and has that "oily film" effect that is sometimes annoying. The new Defender is a real improvement.
The outer silicone shell of the Defender fits perfectly and stays in place on your iPhone. The volume controls and sleep switch are covered, but still work well. The headphone jack and 30-pin connector port have flaps covering them, keeping unwanted dust out. The flaps can be a bit tricky to get in place, but once there they stay put. The mute switch is uncovered, but even with the thickness of the case, you can still use the switch easily. Like all silicone cases, dust tends to stick to it, but wipes off easily.
Perhaps the biggest consideration to make with the Defender is its thickness. This is a tradeoff you have to be willing to make if you want this level of protection for your iPhone 4. The case adds significantly to the bulk of your phone, so it's probably not going to fit into any of your docks as a result. This is a personal choice, but I feel much more secure with the iPhone in the Defender case.
The Defender also come with a sturdy holster for those of you who like to wear their phone on their belt. What I find cool is that the rotating clip doubles as a stand for watching videos.
Many of us will be receiving a new case from Apple as a result of their 'Antennagate' response program. None of the cases offered by Apple offer a degree of protection that is anywhere near that of the Defender. If you put your iPhone 4 through its paces at work or play and don't mind the added thickness, the Defender is the case for you.

Atari download version installer error
Well, I got the game. I'm trying to install it now, but it won't cooperate. While installing, it errors out and says, "Error 1310, error writing to file C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\BOILING POINT\newgrp.grp. Verify that you have access to that directory." I should have access to everything.. never had this problem with anything else. I can't find anything online related to this that'll help out. Anyone know what's up? Thanks for any info.
e: Weird, it unpacks the full game into AppData then tries to install, and when it installs it hangs up at that part. If I move the extracted game to where it's supposed to be, in Program Files, I can get the game to start but when I click "New Game" it crashes while loading. I also can't get any patches to apply to it properly. Man this is a nightmare
Since you are using Windows Vista or 7 you shouldn't install anything to Program Files directory since problems like this come up. The Program Files directory is locked down by Windows and that can cause access problems with some programs. Install it somewhere else (like "C:\games" like I do) and it should work. I have Windows 7 64-bit and that game works fine.
I also got it working fine on Windows 7 64-bit. Have the Atari retail version on disk in box. Installed main game on the default location and installed also the patch as supplied on the disk. Game worked fine.
Uninstall what you got and try again. You could try to execute the installer as administrator. :)
a hint- download the BP dopeman version from the bay, this one is patched to latest and except the small missing first intro it all runs well on whatever OS, copy it (no need to install) play it lke it and have the paid version for supporting the game companies, I have the box type too but used the dopeman version which played well.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, Travelsquire.com's Felicia Foster knows just the place for a romantic getaway. Felicia paid Charleston a visit recently and quite evidently fell in love. (With the Wentworth Mansion, at least.)
She writes, "Seduction is inevitable at this gilded age estate in the South, where pampering is a birthright and romance comes with the territory. After a few nights in Charleston's historic postbellum era Wentworth Mansion (circa 1886), you may feel like you were born in the wrong century."
Foster was captivated by the mansion's history, its stellar restoration and romantic, picturesque views of Charleston from the cupola. Venturing out to the grounds of the hotel, Foster explored the amenities of our luxurious inn that romantics typically fall head over heels for.
She says, "Little did the Rodgers family know what would become of this gentleman's estate. Even the stables have a second life."
Foster is referencing our spa and restaurant Circa 1886, which have settled into their own respective nooks inside the mansion's restored stable house. The restaurant, a Men's Fitness Magazine's pick for one of America's best restaurants for a date night. (Though, we'd say that our spa could easily take a close second for the best date destination…)
The Wentworth Mansion sets the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway in Charleston. In the spirit of this lovely, cozy season, we've created a handful of unique and romantic packages. Available in February only, our Sweetheart Package features an an overnight stay at the Mansion paired with a three-course romantic dinner at Circa 1886. When your evening at the restaurant draws to a close, you'll return to your room for a candlelight turndown and a dozen red roses. If it's a spa weekend you seek, prepare to be pampered with a romantic guest room, roaring fireplace, champagne, a couples massage and more with The Wentworth Mansion Spa Experience package.
Thank you Felicia, for such a fantastic feature. Be sure to read her Travelsquire article in its entirety here.

Covert Affairs is back at last, and Season 5 got off to quite an intriguing start with this premiere. While Annie returned to the CIA with a request to go back to the way things used to be in the old days, when life was simpler, the truth is that those days are gone. And from the tension still remaining in her relationship with Auggie, to a big new case that hits close to home and an enigmatic new charmer with his eye on her, trouble and chaos seem to follow Annie no matter what. Most surprisingly of all, Annie has a major secret that she's keeping from her old CIA friends, one that even the viewers didn't get full insight into just yet.
A really effective feeling of ongoing, complex affection was immediately established with Annie and Auggie's reunion scene. One aspect I always find fascinating in their interactions is how they hide certain emotional flourishes from each other through tiny little spy moves. Even though it should be easier for Annie to do that since he can't see her, we saw Auggie flash a complicated smile and then smooth out his features again after Annie called out to him but before he turned around. Annie said she wanted Auggie to be her handler again and that she wanted to come back in after faking her death, killing Henry Wilcox, and going missing for four months in the aftermath of those events.
Is her desire to cut loose all emotional attachments simply an investment in getting her job done, or is life without love just easier? Annie's gone to dark places and that's a lot to deal with emotionally without having to share it with someone else, too. Additionally, since she has this medical condition, chances are she'd want to protect Auggie from getting involved with her due to that (and who knows what the reasons or implications of this illness really are?). Whatever the case, and whether or not Annie and Auggie are destined to get back together, we all know Annie's too much of a marshmallow not to cave into her need for human intimacy again at some point.
I liked pretty much everything this episode did with Calder, including giving him a subplot (what's up with his apparently sketchy lady-friend? An informant with whom he's gotten close?) that may threaten the security of his new position. Last season, while he started out as an antagonist to Annie, it was cool to see him grow to be a fairly trusted ally, especially since we know he won't just go along with anything because Annie says so - and that's something she needs. That Calder could see through Annie's lies on the truth test in this episode, just as Auggie did, also shows how close they've grown as teammates. And even though he got the promotion he was so ambitious about, as DCS, Calder was respectful towards Joan about the situation that places her ranked below him. From an annoying bee in the characters' bonnets, Calder has come to be a worthy member of the main ensemble in his own right.
The time has come to talk about the cutest thing in the world that ever happened.
OMG, baby Mack! So adorable. I love that Joan and Arthur have found happiness and contentment in their personal life, even though their careers are in rougher territory. Arthur did receive an offer to join the private security organization run by this season's mysterious new series regular, McQuade. Interestingly, Arthur seemed uncertain if the private sector was for him until he saw the news report that was covering for the bombing at the CIA. This seems to have nudged him to get back in the game anyway he can...though what he plans to do to help through his new opportunity with McQuade is an interesting question.
Speaking of McQuade, so far I like him, and not just because Nic Bishop looks like Benjamin McKenzie's hot older brother. He's a smooth-talker who clearly has some tricks up his sleeves to accelerate plotlines and keep our other characters on their toes. Obviously, McQuade instinctively has good taste in highly skilled agents since he wanted Arthur on board so badly and zeroed in on Annie within moments of meeting her (there's a flirtatious vibe there that Annie seems immune to so far, but I think having a little fun wouldn't kill her). Clearly, like all characters of his ilk, McQuade could well turn out to be evil, but friend or foe, I'm intrigued to see where the show will take his character.
As far as what I'd like to see in Season 5, well...I suppose "bringing Simon Fischer back to life" is off the table. Ha, so moving on from that, I want answers about Annie's medical problems sooner rather than later, as I'm worried about her. I like the idea of Annie and Auggie hitting reset on their relationship because even though they are adorable together, I also don't mind them just being friends for a while...I can never really decide if these two are meant to be, and maybe they need a break to see if they end up being drawn together once more. Obviously, it would be great to have Eyal come back (I'm one of those viewers that always liked him with Annie more than having her with Auggie, and also he's just a terrific, invigorating character to have around). As for my ultimate classy duo Arthur and Joan, they can't help being awesomeness personified no matter what they do, so I always trust them to bring some cool and enjoyable storylines and badass moments along the way. With a case as high stakes and intense as the one Annie's so quickly been saddled with upon her return, these next few episodes are relatively certain to be compelling - here's hoping the rest of the season follows suit!
What did you think of the season premiere, and what would you like to see happen this season on Covert Affairs? Share your thoughts in the comments!

On May 22, 1996, John Sheron put on his softball uniform and told his wife he was going to a game. He played for a while, then drove up to the Wal-Mart in Evergreen, where he bought a shotgun.
He took the gun out to his car, got in and blew his brains out.
It wasn't hard for the Jefferson County Coroner's Office to determine that John Sheron had committed suicide. But even if he was the one who pulled the trigger, others had put him in a position to do so.
John and Mary Lee Sheron were living in Peoria, Illinois, when John's employer of twenty years, Canteen International, decided to transfer him to Denver. The new position as regional vice president would be a challenge, different from servicing one major customer, as John had been doing in Peoria, but he was game. He and his wife packed up and moved into a house in Genesee. Mary found work at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and John started his new job.
It didn't work out. After a year, Canteen let John Sheron go.
He started looking for another job, but the search didn't go well. Every day, John seemed a little more down. One day in particular, he was acting so oddly that Mary kept calling to check on him. He kept assuring her that he was fine, but she felt so uneasy she decided to go home.
When she pulled into the garage, she saw that John's car radio and electric system were on. She walked into the kitchen and found a loaded .22 by the back door and an open bottle of pills on the counter. John was asleep on the living room couch. When she had difficulty waking him, she called her family doctor. He told her to call 911.
On May 21, 1996, an ambulance transported John Sheron to Lutheran Medical Center. In the emergency room, they cleaned him out and got him stabilized. Then, following ER procedure, the attending doctor called West Pines, Lutheran's closely held subsidiary psychiatric hospital. West Pines sent a staffer--an assessment and referral technician, West Pines calls them--to see Sheron.
In her initial evaluation, West Pines ART Janice Vernon spent less than half an hour with John, then decided he could go home.
John Sheron was dead the next day.
Experts will tell you that John Sheron was at the top of the charts for serious suicide risk: white, middle-aged, out-of-work and childless. Experts will tell you that even if Sheron wasn't kept in the hospital overnight (although hospitalization was reasonable), he should have been given a serious, lengthy evaluation by a qualified professional. If he had been, he might still be alive. At least he would have lived through the next morning.
And in fact, that's what a few experts will be telling a Jefferson County jury next week, when Mary Lee Sheron's wrongful-death case against Lutheran Medical Center, West Pines and Janice Vernon goes to trial. The defendants have experts, too, who will argue that John Sheron was responsible for his own death.
But jurors may never get to hear the most interesting opinion, which is buried deep in the thick court file that contains all the documentation on this case. The defendants' lawyers are arguing against its admission, claiming that while the Jeffco coroner's official report is a legitimate part of the case, the letter that Chief Deputy Coroner Triena Harper decided to write Julie Chicoine of Lutheran Medical Center's risk-management department was confidential and should remain so.
Here's what Harper wrote: "Enclosed is a copy of the Jefferson County Coroner's Office report on the death of Mr. John Sheron. I wanted to let you know a couple of my personal observations gained from reviewing the Lutheran Hospital ER record of 5/21/96, and from the interview you and I had with counselor Janice Vernon and her supervisors at West Pines. I realize that mental health issues and care are at times controversial and often vague. I also feel that when a middle-aged executive who has recently lost his job presents with an overdose of medication that was acknowledged as a suicide attempt, there is nothing vague or controversial.
"During our interview with the West Pines staff, I got the feeling that they did not see this suicide attempt as anything close to serious. Although Janice Vernon has the ability to call a psychiatrist for consult when evaluating patients, she apparently felt this was not necessary in John Sheron's case. Her evaluation it seemed from the beginning was that Mr. Sheron was not really suicidal. Ms. Vernon spent more time telling us what a 'nice guy' Mr. Sheron was, and little reference how she made the decision that he was not suicidal.
"I also noted that Ms. Vernon provided an aftercare instruction sheet for Mr. Sheron when he was discharged from LMC 5/21/96. The instructions were to 1. 'follow-up with Mental Health provider' (with the responsibility of doing this placed on a suicidal party), 2. 'Don't have that margarita with your burrito!!' (a rather unprofessional way of saying don't drink. This instruction is so cutesy it makes me feel that a real indepth evaluation of this man's mental status was not done.) The number three instruction was 'Remove the guns!!' Does this mean he really is suicidal?
"My responsibility is to determine cause and manner of death when a case falls under the jurisdiction of the Coroner's Office but I did feel uncomfortable about the evaluation process in this case and wanted to share some of my thoughts with you."
Eighteen hours after John Sheron was judged not to be a suicide risk, released and sent home with the wife who'd told staffers she was "overwhelmed," he succeeded in killing himself. He was dead before Mary Lee Sheron could even get him the counseling appointment Vernon had suggested.
The rest of Vernon's jovial instructions were so inappropriate, given Sheron's condition, that Harper took the highly unusual step of writing Lutheran. Now Lutheran's lawyers would like to keep that letter out of the record. Harper is an expert on dead bodies, not live ones, they say, and so she's "not qualified to render an opinion."

The plaintiff's main argument, of course, is that Vernon was not qualified to render an opinion on John Sheron, either, and that West Pines and Lutheran, for whatever reason--convenience, the economics of health care in the Nineties--didn't call in anyone who was. In the process, the suit claims, the defendants violated the Colorado Psychiatric Technicians Act, which requires individuals to attend "an accredited psychiatric technician educational program" and be licensed by the Colorado Board of Nursing before they can conduct the type of evaluation Vernon was called on to provide for John Sheron.
Vernon is not a licensed psychiatric technician. Although she has years of experience working at mental-health facilities, she has just a bachelor's degree. And while West Pines had a psychiatrist on call, Vernon did not contact her or any other clinical psychologist, psychiatric nurse or qualified individual, "in contravention of the defendants' own internal hospital protocol," the plaintiff argues. Instead, she assessed John Sheron not to be a suicide risk and let him go home.
"If you believe there is such a thing as mental health or psychiatry or psychiatric illness or depression," Dr. Steven Dubovsky, vice chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and one of the plaintiff's experts, testified in a deposition, "then you would say this man did not kill himself. He did not make a valid, competent decision to kill himself. He was driven to suicide by untreated depression, and by unrecognized risk in the emergency room where they let him go. I think if anybody made the decision for him to kill himself it was Janice Vernon and the Lutheran ER staff by not recognizing that he had an acute illness...by not recognizing and acting on that, they are the ones who let him die."
This would not play in Peoria, and it should not play here.

o ye, just ordered a sixer
I just ordered this and this, and they should be here by the 24th.
I have the hardest boner right now.
God forbid the Steinberger doesn't work out, I plan on exchanging it for a Thunderbird Pro, but I hope that won't happen. I'm really psyched for the Stein.
Would it be okay to run a bass through my guitar amp? I usually keep the volume down already so it shouldn't do much damage right?
Low volumes will be fine, won't cause any damage.
The only component at risk are the speakers, so just don't push them too hard and you won't hurt them.
So I just bought this.
What do you think?
Not really sure if this is the right place, but does anyone know what exactly Guitar Rig Pro does?
Is it like a virtual amp and you plug your guitar into the computer or what?
Also amplitube is better
something like this
don't worry about it. I think they're EMG selects, so you should just be able to choose any EMG and get someone to wire it for you. as for the strings, it's so you can use your preferred strings. I've heard a lot about the double ball ends that you have to use with Steinbergers, and not much is any good.
nothing wrong with EMG selects
at least nothing more wrong than regular EMGs
So what is "wrong" with EGM's? I genuinely don't know.
plus they eat batteries
all the batteries
No me gusta active pickups
Every newbie buying a guitar is looking for EMGs now a days. I always warn them.
Shit, I got a dollar.
Generally people find them to be sterile sounding, and a bit too compressed, but on the other hand people love them for that reason.
For example, Master of Puppets was recorded with EMGs, the sterility of them works really well for Metallica.
Say what you want about EMGs, the 60 is one glorious sounding pickup
What hardware do you need to use it? (Other than a guitar and a computer obviously), does it use your amp at all?
euroshopper batteries
Geddy Lee is fast approaching with a noose made of a .105 roundwound string
You guys like this bass tone?
Slap Bass:
Finger Bass:
Oh shit now I see how soundcloud degrades sound quality, it makes the bass wobble instead nice clean even like it is in the original file (you can download it and hear for yourself)
Been playing bass for a whole 2 hours in my whole life so timing or playstyle ain't perfect. Guitar and Drums player and I got this bass about a week ago.
i went to an antique store yesterday to look at vintage radios. Im not really interested in old radios but i wanted to find a broken one with a cool enclosure so i could gut it and drop a guitar amp inside.
wound up shellin out fifty bucks for this:
a grundig majestic 4019 tube radio from 1959 (not my picture)
the thing is decent on the outside, but the inside looked like hell. apparently every motherfucker with a soldering iron was inside it.
anyway I parted it out and came up with three transformers, few dozen carbon comp resistors, and a handful of capacitors (including some aftermarket sprague orange drops (yesss)).
the eight tubes scattered throughout the chassis were almost exclusively radio tubes that i couldnt use in a guitar amp. however, the last one i pulled out is a telefunken ribbed-plate 12ax7. looked up some info and it looks like theyre a pretty sought-after tube. I'm gonna get that one tested and hope it works.
i'll probably post some actual pictures sometime but yeah this things pretty rad
I've gotten to the point where all I do when I pick up my guitar is go through a bunch of different songs by the same artists and keep trying to perfect riffs/solos, but I'm not really improvising anymore or even really following a practice template for going through scales/arpeggio shapes/etc. It's pretty much become almost boring to practice since I end up playing the same 20-25 songs over and over.
Any suggestions on how to get out of this rut? I've been playing for about 2 years and 4 months.
find a new style to play.
you're probably not an expert at high-life guitar so take up that.
Smoke a cuban and played guitar for maybe 3 hours.
in a rut, gonna do something weird
currently composing a piece in a full chromatic scale

Alec Baldwin Quits Twitter Again
Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has quit Twitter, simply writing "It's been fun" to say goodbye to his followers. With those three final parting words the actor deleted his account.
Baldwin also quit Twitter in December 2011 after a highly publicized feud with American Airlines. At that time Baldwin was reportedly playing popular cell phone game "Words with Friends" as his AA plane was about to take off. American Airlines cabin crew workers repeatedly asked Baldwin to turn off his phone, but when he refused he was taken off the plane.
Baldwin mocked American Airlines' decision numerous times in public over the following months, and as part of his apparent protest at the decision he deleted his Twitter account.
The popular comic actor, who currently stars in "30 Rock," is well known to have explosive episodes, and he recently admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair that he can be a volatile character.
In that same interview he spoke about his desire to go into politics, but also about his dismay about whether it ultimately would be a worthwhile venture. He said, "I think I do want to go into politics. I really, really do. And I don't know if I will."
He spoke about how he envisaged President Barack Obama saying to himself, "'Wow, this isn't what I thought it was going to be.' You've got to put up with all this (expletive)."
"If I want to run, run for what? You have to stop and ask a lot of whys. Run for the glory? Run to complete some missing piece of myself? I can keep doing what I'm doing for a living now and be perfectly happy," the 30 Rock actor explained.
It is unsure whether Baldwin's latest Twitter hiatus will be a permanent thing, but most expect that he will be back, and when he does he will undoubtedly have thousands of fans still waiting to follow.

So I looked it up online and some sources seemed to say don't use a moisturiser but others say do... I stopped using one but my skin is dry and I don't think my lighter daytime moisturiser is enough... So I thought I'd follow some recommendations I'd read to apply moisturiser 30min-1hour after Retin-A. It still stung, which I can put up with, I just want to know if I am doing something wrong...

Following the device "promote, document and defend Human Rights", Human Rights International (HRI) works since 2002 in the areas of awareness raising, advice and the defense of indigent victims of human rights ...
The Autonomous Province of Trento approved a new cooperation project, named «Mis Valores» (my values), that will be realized in the Indian community of Pambamarquito (Canton Cayambe-North Ecuador).
The initiative plan to reopen, reorganize and support a nursery centre, that has been closed by the Ecuadorian Authorities, coinciding with the decision to abolish the institutions with less then 45 children, in order to restrain the public costs.
The project "Mis Valores" aims to protect the education, the health and the safety of thirty children living in a location particularly disadvantaged in the Andes, about 3000 meters above the sea level.
The project has been developed by Human Rights International (based in Italy) and is coordinated and managed by the Non profit organization Pachama Mother Earth of Trento, based in Ecuador. The project manager and contact person of HRI is the board member Alessandro Pallaoro.
Because of her tireless effort for human rights in Iran, the lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh was sentenced to eleven years in prison and to 20 years disbarment in 2010. Two years before the human rights organization Human Rights International (HRI), Bolzano/Italy, and the Women's Museum in Merano awarded the "HRI-prize for human rights" to her. This was the first international award for Sotoudeh. Since that moment, appeals and public relations called attention to the destiny of Nasrin and other political prisoners in Iran. In 2012 the European Parliament awarded the Sakharov Prize to her.
Now she was released earlier. The first thing she wants to do is bringing her son to school. Then she wants to continue her fight for justice.
Human Rights International (HRI) and the Network of the Women's Museums view the release as positive sign of the new Iranian leadership.
HRI is glad about the release of Nasrin Sotoudeh and 14 further political prisoners and appeal to president Hassan Ruhani to keep his campaign promise to release all political prisoners.
Successful conclusion in Ecuador of the Initiative of Human Rights International (HRI), also funded by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organization Pachamama Mother Earth of Trento (I), active for years in the field of education and agriculture, the School C.V. Andrade Pambamarca and the Group of Rural Women W. Sisa.
Thanks to the efforts and under the coordination of the project manager, partner and director of HRI Pallaoro Alessandro, were created a vegetable garden (about 3000 sqm) and a greenhouse Community (approx 300 sqm) in the Community of Pambamarca (northern Ecuador - Canton of Cayambe), in order to contribute to the improvements of the difficult food situation of the indian Community Pambamarca.
The project aimed also for the awareness of young people and primary school teachers regarding the importance of proper nutrition and an eco-sustainable development.
On December 14, 2012 in presence of the local authorities, the realized garden and greenhouses, were handed over by HRI to be managed in future from the School C. V. Andrade.
ECUADOR - Concluyó con éxito en Ecuador la iniciativa de Human Rights International (HRI), también financiada por la Provincia Autónoma de Bolzano y llevada a cabo en colaboración con la organización no gubernamental Pachamama Madre Terra de Trento (I), activa desde hace años en el campo de la educación y la agricultura, la Escuela CV Andrade Pambamarca y el Grupo de Mujeres W. Sisa Rural. Gracias al esfuerzo y bajo la coordinación del director del proyecto, socio y director de HRI Pallaoro Alessandro, se creó una huerta de hortalizas (alrededor de 3000 metros cuadrados) e invernaderos (aprox. 300 m²) en la Comunidad de Pambamarca (norte de Ecuador - Cantón de Cayambe), con el fin de contribuir a la mejora de la difícil situación alimentaria de la Comunidad indigena de Pambamarca. El proyecto también tenía por objeto la sensibilización de los jóvenes y los maestros de escuela primaria sobre la importancia de una nutrición adecuada y un desarrollo eco-sostenible. El jardín y los invernaderos que se realizaron fueron entregados por HRI bajo la gestión de la Escuela CV Andrade el 14 de diciembre de 2012 en presencia de las autoridades locales.

Feedback in:
Hi Mr. Covel,
I have been trading stocks for 10 years now and after reading tons of books, among Darvas and other, I came across you and your trend following. After listening to your pod you said you have a new system called spinosaurus that I would love to try.
As a small investor, I have been looking at ETF's that I can invest in. I have found the Hull tactical US ETF, but are there any more? I wanted to buy some of Dunn but his and several more once are just for institutions or for big money traders, and I'm not there yet.
I have a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering and Bachelors in Economics and been working within the consulting business and energy [sectors]. But now I know that this (trend following) is what I want, so I wonder if you have any tips or contacts? Or maybe talk a bit about it in your pod!
Thanks for a super interesting pod and homepage!
I don't directly promote trading managers, or follow all of their products, but there are many "names" across my books and podcast.
In terms of teaching more about trend following (your request), I do that extensively on my podcast and in my books:

America's beloved Model T was known for its "steadfastness," its enduring and endearing "sameness." The first production Model T Ford was assembled at the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit on October 1, 1908. Over the next 19 years, Ford would build 15 million Model "T"s. The Model T endured with little change in its design and Henry Ford had definitely succeeded in his quest to build a car for the masses.

| Destenys Angel Pyra chapter 1 . 4/12/2010
I'm ahuge fan of the manipulations not the actual slash of this paaring and your story was brilliant :)
| asdfqwert chapter 1 . 4/6/2010
Holy crap, pronker, this is SCARY.
And I love it. I absolutely, fucking love it. Everything was utterly perfect - Palpatine is so slimy, so subtle and indoctrinating. You've helped make him my favourite character.
Brilliant piece. Thanks for writing!
| What-Ansketil-Did-Next chapter 1 . 1/1/2009
Oh...oh... wow. This is just... oh wow. Your descriptions were simply mouth-watering. It felt like I myself was dining on such rare fare as the characters themselves.
Such phrases as: "Palpatine's voice was septsilk draped over duranium" were just magic. And the whole almost Athenian take on love and Beauty was awesome.
You are a five star chef!
| Ziggy Sternenstaub chapter 1 . 12/26/2008
I was delighted to see this appear on the radar:) My favourite pairing, and so rare to see a new story appear featuring them in a less than antagonistic scenario!
The story itself was written in a delightfully insidious manner-one did get the feeling of what Palpatine was driving at very early on, but never did he actually speak the words, which was wonderfully subtle! Anakin was also given his fair share of intelligence and perception-something that many authors deny him at this stage in his career! Both characters were portrayed with sensitivity and insight. I also loved the mention of an earlier marriage for Palpatine-it fills out his background more, and it seems plausible to me that he could have attempted such a marriage in his past, whether because he genuinely wanted companionship, or because he wished a trophy to augment his 'kindly Senator' image.
The notes regarding the Mon Cal opera were dreadfully fascinating-I did enjoy the manner in which you transposed traditionally operatic designations (voice types, etc) onto a more physical art form which tends to be generally portrayed as ballet in most fics. Clever work here, thinking outside of our own frame of Earthly reference.
Finally, though I was uncertain as to how appropriate the opening line of your story was, Palpatine's closing line made it absolutely delightful, and absolutely worth it.
Thanks for this.

Verizon Hopes Google Deal Calms Patent Spats
Verizon Communications Inc. VZ 1.45% said Google Inc.'s $12.5 billion bid for Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. MMI -0.03% was a welcome development because it may bring "stability" to a recent slate of smartphone patent disputes, though it stopped short of totally endorsing the proposed acquisition.
It was the first time a U.S. phone company publicly commented on the blockbuster deal.
"We will be looking with interest as further details of the proposed transaction become clear," said John Thorne, Verizon's senior vice president and deputy general counsel. "But, at first glance, to the extent that this deal might bring some stability to the ongoing smartphone patent disputes, that would be a welcome development."
Verizon Wireless was the first U.S. wireless carrier to make a big bet on Google's Android software, and it relied heavily on Motorola's Droid smartphone lineup to combat the iPhone, which was exclusively distributed by rival AT&T Inc. T -0.03% for four years. Even though Verizon Wireless started selling the iPhone earlier this year, it has a lot at stake since it still distributes millions of smartphones from Motorola Mobility and other device makers that support the Android system.
Verizon Wireless is the largest seller of Android phones in North America. In August, Verizon Wireless claimed about 41% of active Android phones in North America, compared to nearly 26% for Sprint Nextel Corp. S -0.32% , 16% for T-Mobile USA and about 9% for AT&T Inc., according to a survey by Chitika, an online advertising provider. Google said it activates 550,000 Android devices daily.

- The Man Behind Android's Rise
- Heard: Query on Google's Strategy
- Verizon Says Google Deal May Stabilize Patent Fights
By gaining Motorola's roughly 17,000 patents in the deal, Google said it could more easily protect its Android mobile software from lawsuits. Apple , AAPL -0.56% Microsoft Corp. MSFT -0.96% and Oracle Corp. ORCL -0.53% have sued Google, Motorola and device-maker HTC Corp. 2498 2.27% over allegations of intellectual property violations.
"Google should be in a much better position to protect itself and its partners from legal attacks," said Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst William Power, noting that Libertyville, Ill.-based Motorola has an additional 7,500 patents pending.
Verizon Wireless, co-owned by Vodafone Group Plc. and Verizon Communications, put significant market muscle behind the Android operating system, including running a national TV campaign and renting multiple electronic billboards in Times Square for several weeks around the launch of the first Droid smartphone in late 2009.
Android is the top-selling smartphone operating system worldwide, commanding around 43% of the market as of the second quarter of 2011, nearly double the second-largest, Nokia Corp.'s Symbian, according to industry researcher Gartner. An AT&T spokesman declined to comment on the Google deal.

Just browsing ebay (uk) and came across this and I thought how very pretty it was
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just browsing ebay (uk) and came across this and I thought how very pretty it was
Smile - it confuses people
That's a pretty machine! Thanks for sharing!
One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.
What beautiful decals looks in really good shape! Make sure the shuttle and bobbin are with it as you would have a hard time replacing those. My dad found one like that and she just hummed so nice as you sewed with her.
She sure is pretty!!
Very nice hand crank....Is that a good price in UK? It would be here. Too bad he doesn't ship. Not that I'd be bidding, but others could.
It's been relisted at £40, same starting price as before. It didn't sell because the starting price was too high and it is collection only. If I were interested (which I'm not, I'm not prepared to drive to Hemel Hempstead for it) I would keep on watching it until the seller listed it with a starting price of £20 or under. If it went in the meantime, I wouldn't weep. If I had bought everything I fancied that I have seen on Ebay the family would have had to move out about three years ago.

A controversial free school at the heart of a row between Labour and the Tories over Michael Gove's reform programme will be condemned as "dysfunctional" in a devastating official report.
An Ofsted report, due to be published imminently, declares that the Al-Madinah Islamic school in Derby is "in chaos" and has "not been adequately monitored or supported".
The report, which has been leaked to the Guardian, says teachers at the faith school are inexperienced and have not been provided with proper training.
Pupils are given the same work "regardless of their different abilities" and the governing body is "ineffective", according to the report which was commissioned amid reports of irregularities at the school.
An Ofsted inspection had been due to take place by the end of the year, but was brought forward by two months after allegations that women teachers were obliged to wear headscarves and that pupils were segregated. The school, which has 412 pupils aged between four and 16, closed during the inspection.

IN an attempt to reduce the number of leopards killed for the making of ceremonial attire of Shembe church members, an agreement has been reached to use fake leopard skins.
They have agreed to this in the interest of preserving South Africa's leopard population.
This innovative animal conservation initiative, designed to protect a species threatened with extinction, while at the same time maintaining a long-time South African tradition, was put together by US-based organisation, Panthera, whom logistics company DHL partnered with as part of its corporate- responsibility programme, DHL spokesperson Anita Gupta said in a statement.
Shembe elder and legal adviser Lizwi Ncwane said he had experienced first-hand how receptive his community was to the fake skins.
'Not only do they look and feel like real leopard skins, they also last longer,' he said.
'We're grateful that Panthera has worked with us in finding a solution that interweaves the conservation of leopards with the customs of the Shembe.'
Panthera focuses on saving wild cat species worldwide.
Panthera president Luke Hunter said 2 000 skins had already been shipped to the country.
'The Shembe have shown they are willing to embrace the use of our high-quality alternatives to real leopard skin – that translates to 2 000 leopards saved from poachers.
Leopard skins had become customary ceremonial attire worn by the over five million members of the Shembe church. The skins were used as ceremonial and religious dress by Zulu royalty and chiefs, symbolising beauty, power and prestige. –
Over 1 000 skins were worn at a single Shembe gathering.
'Although many skins are old and are passed down from generation to generation, many new ones are a result of poaching, leading to shrinking leopard numbers,' Gupta said.

Alex Jones: Absolutely. Congressman, I want to shift gears into your son, because it's a big national issue. I've got to say that he just continues to impress everybody in the liberty movement, that he so deftly handles all these attacks. He has Joe Biden coming out against him in private meetings saying he's got to be dealt with, he's got Chris Christie coming out against him, he's got the President coming out against him, Karl Rove coming out against him. When the entire establishment is lining up against somebody, you know they're good, and the way he's really trying to defund the foreign bribery, the foreign aid, the way he's standing up against drones, what is your take on them all winding up to shoot down Rand Paul?
Ron Paul: It's a pretty good indication that he's probably on the right track when all the bad guys gang up on you. But it sorts itself all out, because there are a few Republicans who do it, too, and a lot of Democrats. But the leaderships of both parties can't stand any of us, because they are about one party. They pretend there's a great deal of difference, but if we reveal the truth, how many in the establishment, Republican or Democrat, would even consider anything we say about giving Bradley Manning a fair trial or Snowden a fair shake. They're not going to do it, and I think people are beginning to realize this, because the information is getting out a little bit differently now than it used to get out. We used to get 100% of our news from the three major channels, that doesn't happen anymore.
Alex Jones: I only got a few minutes left with you. Former Congressman Ron Paul joins us, and I want to talk about the big announcement you're about to make here on the show a day early, we're honored. But, first off, looking at the future here, as you said there's new media, there's alternative media, the numbers show in the aggregate, we're bigger than the old media, the state run media, DrudgeReport.com, infowars.com, the constellation of sites that Ron Paul, who's joining us, has. Overall, they've got metrics out there, we're now bigger than they are, but they can still unify and regurgitate the same news, and sometimes we even get caught up in debating whatever talking point they've put out. But in the short-term, midterm and long term, what do you see in your historical crystal ball looking forward, how do you think this is going to go for the establishment because they are losing the people. Just last week the pentagon came out and admitted that they got to stop lying to the people and said they're losing.
Ron Paul: Yes, and the papers are fading quickly. The Globe and the Washington Post are the old media, there's no doubt about it. I have two thoughts on that: I brag about it and complement young people because they're attracted to it and we were able to win very successful campaigns and organize a lot of people through the internet. And at the same time, we know technology is always advancing, and I think the question boils down to: will the technology advance so quickly that our government can neutralize us and know everything that we're doing with the internet, and cancel us out when we make use of it? Or will we be able to get around them and be able to have our own protection about government invasion or some alternative that's going to become international. I don't know these techniques, but it's going to be technological, because the government is not going to go away quietly, they will have to admit one of these days that the days of the three majors dictating everything to us are over, that the access to the internet and what we're trying to do with our new programming is a real challenge to them, but under the conditions of today, that's what we have, and we have to make the best of it.
Alex Jones: Incredibly said, and I'm not trying to sit here and gush over what you broke down, but that's the battlefield. The establishment of cyber security admits this is a takeover, they're saying the Pentagon and the CIA will be involved in domestic spyops, they've always been, but now they're openly announcing it. And they want to use technology to crush the public and manipulate social networking, instead of the people using it to restore freedom and liberty. So there is a battle, a war going on. Do you agree that we're entering the event-horizon, and it will be the individual out there right now becoming a citizen journalist and supporting independent media who will decide the future of this fight?
Ron Paul: Yes, it will be, and we have to come to the understanding that if you're a reporter from the Washington post, then you have certain protections that we don't have. Everybody has the same protection for freedom of speech and publication, and everybody is a reporter, so everybody should have those same protections built in. But there will be a lot of contest, and I'm optimistic that right now there is a galvanized youth movement that's listening to our message and that's where I get some encouragement from. So I'm hoping that I can get some people to dial in and look at my new website dealing with this channel. If they wanted to get caught up on exactly what's happening and seeing what's going to happen in the announcement tomorrow as well as when the first program is. I think I can let that go out too today, because it will come out tomorrow, and the first official program is going to be on August 12th. For people to know and to get more information on this, it's very easy, go to www.RonPaulChannel.com.
Alex Jones: Absolutely. This won't be released till tomorrow, but you guys sent it to us early. We have your press release here, on August 12th, 2013 the show will be launched. And you've already got hundreds of thousands of people that are signing up to be part of the channel. And if people will support www.InfoWarsNews.com, and if people will support www.RonPaulChannel.com, and if people will support the true new independent media and journalism, we'll be able to hire the reporters, you'll be able to hire the reporters, you'll be able to hire the film makers, the researchers. We did the math, Dr. Paul, and in my 18 years, the amount of money I've made and have put back in is 36 million dollars that I've put in on InfoWars.com. And it takes a lot of money to be able to do this, folks, you need to go and be part of www.RonPaulChannel.com. Sir, before you go, in the next minute give us any tidbits about the channel and what's going to be on it.
Ron Paul: Well, in the early part of the show, we'll go over some very, very current events, sort of like what we do when I talk on your program. We'll look at what's the biggest event, we'll quote something in the news and I'll make my commentary on it. The big difference with this media is it's not like me being interviewed on regular media, where if a talk for a minute and a half they cut me off, or like a debate. There's no time limit, there's no advertising.
Alex Jones: It's unfiltered, we can have an online Ron Paul filibuster.
Ron Paul: And this makes me more comfortable, because I'm not worried about how to pack in everything I want to say in these 32 seconds, it makes me tend to want to speak quicker and this sort of thing. So it's a much more relaxed environment, and we're going to have guests on the shows and we're going to try to pick out incidents where individuals are making successes. Last weekend, I was at the Young Americans for Liberty conference, it's a very successful group, and it's another group that's joining us, and it's only 5 years old. It was the outgrowth of one of our campaigns. So with those kind of things, we want to recognize people who have achieved things, and we're going to be taking calls. Right now it's probably going to be by email, the listeners will be able to send questions in and I want to have an interactive program.
Alex Jones: You have worked so hard as a congressman, sometimes 18 hours a day on record, and you've always been extremely articulate. But I know that feeling of having a hundred things you want to say and then speeding up. Now that you've been out of Congress for just a few months, when I get a chance to interview you, you sound so much more relaxed, even more focused and even more clarifying. Are you enjoying being out of Congress?
Ron Paul: Yes, there is a difference because when people ask me about that, I say, "At least I don't have to get on an air plane at the direction of Boehner. He would say, "Get on an airplane, get up here and vote". And the neat thing about my channel is that we have an office here in the Lake Jackson area where we put the studio. So I don't have to drive to Houston, I don't have to go anywhere, and that makes a big difference also. It is more relaxing and I have more time to read. Matter of fact, I thought I'd be so busy, but I'm actually having little bit more time to write as well. So, yes, I feel pretty good.
Alex Jones: Absolutely amazing. I'll look forward to speaking to you soon once the channel launches, and I look forward to getting you back on about the economy. Just briefly, we've seen the Federal Reserve bonds in trouble, you've been warning about that for a long time. A brief comment on that?
Ron Paul: Yes, there was a statement out the other day on how many billions of dollars they lost because interest rates have crept up a little bit against their wishes. So that represents loses in the real value of those bonds. But it's not going to be the Fed that loses, it's the American people, because the tax payer stands behind that, and they can just print the money. They don't care about it, they're not a business, they and have a profit or loss. But, the value of their assets did go down, it just means that they can liquidate that through inflation and they just print more money. But it isn't the Fed that loses the money, it's the people. The only way to end that is to get rid of the central banking, we don't need the Federal Reserve, we need strong sound money.
Alex Jones: www.RonPaulChannel.com, very exciting. Thank you for working so hard for freedom and liberty, thank you.
Ron Paul: Thank you.
Alex Jones: Alright, there goes former Congressman Ron Paul, very exciting. He was telling me during the break that if I have time, he wants me to be on the show with him. So it will be very exciting to be on Ron Paul's show instead of him being on my show, after 18 years of that guy coming on my show.

It's KLEZ, and it's the reason my sister is dual booting with Mandrake. Every windows machine in my family's little network got infected by it a couple months ago. There was some free console program specifically targetted at klez that got rid of it though.
Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud
Read my livejournal
AVG got rid of it on my friends systems with no problem. Stupid little virus anyhow. Basically harmless. It tries to be harmful but its crappy and I've yet to hear a report about it succeeding. It tries to delete doc, jpg, and a few other files on the sixth of every month. Never works. A friend had it for months and never knew it.
Solution to not get it: Dont use IE. It uses a 'Execute Anyway' loophole in IE if I recal correctly.

more Huckaby columns
It was a cultural thing. Bourbon Street meets Ala Moana Boulevard.
Make no mistake about it, the 50th state was in the house at last week's Sugar Bowl - and in the French Quarter and the Garden District, and everywhere else football fans go to celebrate and party during the last few days of any given year.
These weren't your typical Southern college football fans.
Don't get me wrong. They wore their team colors proudly, everywhere they went. They gathered and talked about the game with newfound friends who had been total strangers moments earlier.
Some of the younger fans, of which there weren't too many - not many college-age kids can afford a $5,000 bowl trip - talked smack, particularly at night when fortified by the liquid spirits that flow so freely in the city beside the Mississippi.
But the folks who paid the exorbitant prices for airline tickets and braved the long flight across the Pacific and half the mainland - including many folks who took 24 hours to get to New Orleans because of all the connections - brought the Aloha spirit with them to the game. I have never seen a friendlier fan base or a group more excited about being invited to the party.
It really took me by surprise.
The first Hawaii fans we encountered waved at us like we were long lost cousins and shouted, "Hello, Georgia!" This would become the rule rather than the exception for the next three days.
You don't get a lot of that from Florida fans, you know.
And they all wanted to talk about their trip and about the cold weather. They all wanted to wish us a "nice game Tuesday night," and almost every person or family I encountered invited us to visit their home if I ever got the chance.
And I don't think it was like when we say, "Y'all come." I think they were sincere.
If the buildup to the game brought culture shock, that shock was doubled on game day. A lot of the younger fans showed up in the hotel lobbies and venues surrounding the Superdome wearing tribal war paint, which makes sense, I suppose, since they were cheering for the Warriors.
Most of them were carrying ti leaves - not to be confused with the stuff Tetley and Nestea are grinding up and putting in little tea bags. These were "ti leaves," long green fronds of ceremonial significance on the islands. They are also used to wrap up the luau pig for cooking, sort of like we'd wrap aluminum foil around a Boston butt before we put it in the oven.
They all had them. The school had them shipped over on New Year's Eve so they would be fresh, and they were handing them out at the team hotel.
Georgia football coach Mark Richt, of course, asked us to black out the Dome, and we made a very respectable effort at doing so. Hawaii countered with a "whiteout," and to make sure their fans complied, white T-shirts were laid out over every seat in the Hawaii section.
I've been to a lot of games and seen a lot of things, but I have never seen hula dancers performing with the band until Tuesday's pre-game show, and I had never seen the Ha'a dance, and I had never seen a great big giant of a guy in Pacific Islander battle dress try to beat a hole in the head of a giant drum for four hours. I saw all of those things at the Sugar Bowl.
I also saw the best football team in all the land put on a clinic once the game actually began. It was amazing.
But the next morning, the Hawaii fans were still smiling and offering greetings of "Aloha" and complimenting us on having such a fine team.
I wonder if we could get the Gators to act like that next year? And for the record: Less than 240 days 'til Georgia Southern opens the season.

Editor: It's beyond my comprehension that the Record's standards of journalism results in a front-page article on June 12 featuring local citizens being featured in Playgirl and Playboy. This article throws all decency to the winds. Pondering why, I came up with the possible need for The Record to:
1. Provide free advertising to the modeling (naked) careers of the two citizens,
3. Create some sensationalism now lacking since Cafe Erotica is no more,
4. Receive accolades from Playboy or Playgirl for the coverage.
There are so many worthwhile programs and people to cover in St. Augustine that The Record should never have to stoop to this level.
The other article on the front page was about the county dedicating Sgt. Tutten Drive in memory of Sgt. Brian Tutten of St. Augustine who died serving his country in Iraq. A hero like Sgt. Tutten should never have to share the same page with smut.
I think the Record owes its readers an apology for this offending Playgirl/Playboy article.
