As its name suggests, this Deck is based around using "Quickdraw Synchron" to rapidly bring out any of the "Synchron Warrior" Synchro Monsters. As "Quickdraw Synchron" can be used to Summon any of these you can use a wide variety of monsters, such as "Drill Warrior", "Nitro Warrior", "Turbo Warrior" and so on. The other main Tuner of the deck is "Junk Synchron", as it can help you recycle your non-Tuner monsters or Tuner monsters, while also usable for any of the "Junk" "Synchron Warrior" monsters. It can even be used for generic Synchro monsters, if need be.
The ability to summon these monsters quickly is very handy, as each one has a powerful and potentially devastating effect (such as "Turbo Warrior's" ability to halve your opponent's Synchro Monsters ATK and not be targeted by Level 6 or lower Monster effects), but are unusable in most Decks because of their specific Tuner requirements."Quickdraw Synchron" can be used in place of any "Synchron" Tuner, eliminating the need for most, if not all, of them. With the debut of Junk Destroyer in Starter Deck 2010, Quickdraw Turbo gained significant field-clearing abilities. This Deck can muster a wide variety of OTKs and is currently fairly high in the Metagame.
Quickdraw Turbo produces Synchros very fast in comparison to most common Decks. It is rare for a turn to pass without at least one Synchro Summon. Furthermore, each of the Synchro Monsters you can produce with Quickdraw has a different use, from Junk Warrior and Nitro Warrior's ATK boosting, to Nitro Warrior and Junk Gardna's effects of manipulating Battle Positions, to Drill Warrior's effect of recycling of Monster Cards, to Junk Destroyer's effect of clearing your opponent's field, to Junk Archer's effect of easily removing the Xyz Material from your opponents' Xyz Monsters, to Road Warrior's effect of summoning more Tuners or non-Tuners from your Deck and allowing even more Synchro Summoning. You can play any of these strategies at will, using your Extra Deck as a toolbox for any situation. Here are a few examples for producing each Synchro Monster. Most of the following strategies can heavily benifit from De-Synchro especially with multiple Tuningware that were used for a Synchro Summon as it can be equivalent to a Pot of Greed or better. The best strategy is to draw and replace cards in your hand simultaneously by creating combo(s) of Synchros in order to get the desired cards as soon as possible. It solely depends on the deck built and the skills of the player to get a good control of the flow. With the right designed build of the deck and familiarities with its strategies, a player can easily have 1-3 Synchro monsters summoned per turn.
Because most of the Synchro Monsters summoned in this deck have specific requirements, they are more powerful and useful than most generic Synchro Monsters and have useful effects for any situation. A well built Quickdraw Turbo deck will be able to find a way around almost any situation the opponent has put them in whilst having strong Synchro monsters out, simply by using its Synchro monsters.
Dark Diviner/Armory Arm
- Dark Diviner can be easily summoned via Junk Synchron + Level Eater and has the automatic ability to get over any monster your opponent controls no matter how high its ATK, whilst not being destroyed itself, and forces your opponent to mill cards.
- Armory Arm can be summoned via Junk Synchron + Level Eater or Formula Synchron + Quillbolt Hedgehog/Synchron Explorer/Doppelwarrior. It can be used to boost your monsters' ATK easily and deal devastating burn damage to your opponent.
T.G. Hyper Librarian
- T.G. Hyper Librarian combined with Doppelwarrior may be the most efficient combo in this deck that keeps the flow going and helps you maintain your hand advantage, as T.G. Hyper Librarian allows you to draw a card each time you Synchro Summon a monster. If you use Quickdraw Synchron to discard a Level 1 Tuner such as Effect Veiler or Unknown Synchron, then Normal Summon a Junk Synchron with a Doppelwarrior in your hand, you can Special Summon the Level 1 Tuner using Junk Synchron, Special Summon the Doppelwarrior using its own effect, then Synchro Summon into T.G. Hyper Librarian with Junk Synchron and Doppelwarrior. Then, Doppelwarrior will produce two Level 1 Tokens that will allow you to Synchro Summon two more times, into Formula Synchron and a Level 6 Synchro, giving you 3 new cards (as Formula Synchron gives you an extra draw as well) while having 3 Synchro monsters out.
- This combo works extremely well with Effect Veiler even without Quickdraw Synchron, as you can use Effect Veiler to stop one of your opponent's monster card's effects, then resurrect Effect Veiler as a Level 1 Tuner with Junk Synchron on your next turn. Then you can summon T.G. Hyper Librarian after summoning Doppelwarrior via its own effect. Once again Doppelwarrior when used as Synchro Material will give you two non-Tuner tokens. Then, you can draw 2 cards by Tuning one of the Tokens with the Effect Veiler into Formula Synchron. Then, you can Synchro Summon into Mist Bird Clausolas with the Formula Synchron and the other token, allowing you to draw again.
- If at anytime in your draws you drew into a Quickdraw Synchron, you can Special Summon it by discarding another monster in your hand and depending on what monsters you have in your Graveyard, possibly Synchro Summon even more and draw even more.
Junk Warrior
- Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" by discarding "Level Eater". Then Special Summon "Level Eater" by lowering Quickdraw by one Level, then Tune for "Junk Warrior".
- Summon "The Calculator". Then Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" by discarding "Level Eater" and then chain on "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Summon all 3 Quickdraws. Use the previous strategy to summon 3 Junk Warriors. Combined with "The Calculator", who will have 5100 ATK, this becomes a OTK even against a sizeable defense.
Turbo Warrior/Drill Warrior/Junk Gardna
- Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" with its effect, then Normal Summon "Tuningware" to Synchro Summon and draw 1 card.
- Use the same strategy by discarding "Dandylion" and using a "Fluff Token" to Synchro Summon.
- Discard 1 monster to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron", then Special Summon "Boost Warrior" by its own effect and Synchro Summon.
- Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and revive "Tuningware", then discard "Dandylion" for Quickdraw. Synchro "Junk Synchron" and "Tuningware" with the "Fluff Tokens" for "Junk Gardna", and draw 1 card. Alternately, revive a Level 2 monster and Special Summon "Level Eater" on Quickdraw.
- Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" by discarding "Level Eater", then Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and use its effect to resurrect "Level Eater", then Synchro Summon into one of these using "Quickdraw Synchron" and "Level Eater". Afterwards, you can use "Level Eater" on the Level 6 Synchro you summoned to create a Level 4 Synchro using "Level Eater" and "Junk Synchron".
- Normal Summon "Synchron Explorer", then Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" with its effect. Then use "Level Eater" in your Graveyard to reduce "Quickdraw Synchron" to Level 4, and Synchro Summon into a Level 6 using "Quickdraw Synchron" and "Synchron Explorer".
Nitro Warrior/Junk Archer/Junk Berserker
- Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" by discarding "Quillbolt Hedgehog". Special Summon "Quillbolt Hedgehog" from the Graveyard and Tune it with Quickdraw to Synchro Summon.
- Use the previous strategy but discard "Dandylion" and use the two Tokens to summon.
- Use "Synchron Explorer" to bring back "Quickdraw Synchron", then Synchro Summon.
Road Warrior/Chevalier de Fleur
- Discard "Quillbolt Hedgehog" to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron", and Normal Summon "Tuningware". Synchro Summon with all three and then draw a card.
- You can discard "Dandylion" instead of "Quillbolt Hedgehog" and use the two Fluff Tokens.
- Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron", then Normal Summon "Sangan" or "Dandylion" and Synchro Summon, either searching or creating Tokens. This does not work for Road Warrior however, as he needs two or more non tuners.
- Summon "Marauding Captain" and use his effect to Summon "Junk Synchron". Then discard "Level Eater" to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" and Special Summon "Level Eater" in the normal way. Then tune Quickdraw, Captain and Eater together to Summon "Road Warrior". Then use his effect to Summon "Tuningware". From here, you can either Summon "Junk Warrior" or "Armory Arm" and get to draw 1 card either way.
- Normal Summon "Synchron Explorer" and use it to summon "Quickdraw Synchron" from your graveyard, then use "Level Eater" on another Synchro monster you have out and Synchro Summon one of these using the "Synchron Explorer", "Level Eater", and "Quickdraw Synchron".
Junk Destroyer
- Use Road Warrior/Chevalier de Fleur methods.
- Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and use its effect to bring back "Tuningware"(his effect is negated), then activate "Machine Duplication, or "Inferno Reckless Summon" to bring out 2 more "Tuningwares", then Synchro Summon "Junk Destroyer" to destroy 3 cards, and draw 3 cards!
- With "Scapegoat", you can use it on your opponent's turn for 4 free Level 1 non-Tuner tokens. Then come your turn, simply discard a monster to Special Summon Quickdraw Synchron, and Synchro Summon into Junk Destroyer and automatically destroy 3 of your opponent's cards without even using up your Normal Summon! With "Scapegoat" now unlimited as of September 1, 2013, this combo is more efficient than ever.
Synchro Summon 2 Monsters Using Debris Dragon, Dandylion and Quickdraw Synchron
- Discard "Dandylion" from hand to special summon "Quickdraw Synchron", two "Fluff Tokens" will be summonned to the field.
- Normal Summon "Debris Dragon" and use its effect to bring back "Dandylion", then synchro summon "Stardust Dragon" with "Debris Dragon", "Dandylion" and one "Fluff Token".
- After that, another 2 "Fluff Tokens" will be produced. Use Quickdraw and the 3 remaining Tokens to bring out "Junk Destroyer" and destroy 3 of your opponent's cards.
Synchro Summon 3 Monsters Using Quickdraw Synchron
- Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" and follow up with "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get another 2 copies of it, then Normal Summon "Dandylion".
- Synchro Summon "Junk Destroyer/Chevalier de Fleur" using "Quickdraw Synchron" and "Dandylion".
- After that, "Drill Warrior/Turbo Warrior/Junk Gardna" can be Summoned using the Tokens.
- Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" and follow up with "Inferno Reckless Summon" while at least 1 Quickdraw is in your Graveyard.
- Special Summon "Doppelwarrior" by its own effect.
- Synchro Summon "Nitro Warrior/Junk Archer/Junk Berserker" using "Quickdraw Synchron" and "Doppelwarrior".
- After that, "Drill Warrior" "Turbo Warrior" "Junk Gardna" can be Summoned using the Tokens.
- Use "Scapegoat" on your opponent's turn to have 4 free tokens. Then discard a monster to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron", and you now can Synchro Summon into either Level 6, 7, or 8 without having even used your Normal Summon yet.
Shooting Quasar Dragon/T.G. Halberd Cannon
- Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" by sending Level Eater. Using Level Eater's effect to Special Summon it. Synchro Summon Junk Warrior. (T.G. Hyper Librarian is a better choice here, as you will draw two additional cards over the course of the combo)
- Normal Summon "Synchron Explorer", Special Summon Quickdraw Synchron by it's effect. Special Summon Level Eater, targeting Junk Warrior. Tune for Road Warrior
- Special Summon Level Eater, targeting Road Warrior. Using Road Warrior's effect, Special Summon a Level 1 Tuner monster (best target Unknown Synchron or Turbo Synchron. Tune it and Level Eater to Formula Synchron. Then Special Summon Level Eater, targeting Road Warrior again.
- Using Junk Warrior (Level 4), Road Warrior (Level 6), Formula Synchron to Summon Shooting Quasar Dragon or T.G. Halberd Cannon.
Other Non-Synchro Monsters
- Summon this card while you control any tuner and activate machine duplication. Summon two more copies of this card and you can tune together for just about any level Synchro Monster. Then, you can draw 3 cards.
- One of the main monsters in this deck which creates "Fluff Token" as Synchro Material Monster. It works well with "Quickdraw Synchron" and "Debris Dragon" to summon Synchro Monster.
- With the limiting of "Dandylion" in the March 2011 Lists, this card can be used to produce Tokens instead. Tokens must be Summoned in Attack Position and you must Synchro Summon with this card before you get them. While not necessary, you can use 1 or 2 "Doppelwarrior" in conjunction with "Junk Synchron/Synchron Explorer". The Tokens summoned by his effect can be Tuned with "Glow-up Bulb" to Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron".
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness
- This card works well in this Deck after your opponent uses "Icarus Attack", "Dark Hole" or any other cards that wipe out your field. The Token summoned by his first effect can be Tuned with "Glow-up Bulb" to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon". However, this combo is highly downgraded since "Glow-Up Bulb will be banned as of the March 2012 ban list.
Cyber Dragon
- This card works well with "Junk Synchron" to bring out "Stardust Dragon" or "Junk Destroyer".
Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
- A good card if your deck isn't consistent enough in mid and late game as it can get rid of pesky monsters and the possibility of milling cards that this deck wants in the Graveyard

Quickdraw Turbo despite being a very controlled Deck does have several weaknesses which leave it vulnerable. The first being it's reliability on monsters with low attack points which can be exploited with cards such as Chain Disappearance or Deck Devastation Virus which removes such monsters on the field and in the Deck from play. The main thing to keep in mind with Quickdraw Turbo is that it has more focus on its first turn Synchro spam being successful with a Shooting Quasar Dragon or a Shooting Star Dragon as well as being able to play defensively in the case that you cannot.
Another problem is that the deck's monsters really hold nothing on their own, which forces you to Synchro Summon every turn or summon your monsters with no purpose. Having to Synchro Summon can be very dangerous in some situations, when dealing with much backrow or cards like Thunder King Rai-Oh or Vanity's Fiend.
Evilswarm Ophion is easily the biggest threat this deck has, as it will prevent you from going into any of your Synchro monsters Level 5 or above, which you almost always must be able to do. Evilswarm Ophion also has immediate protection from any Spells or Traps you would try to use for dealing with it, as it can search Infestation Pandemic. Dark Diviner which can be made via Junk Synchron + Level Eater may be one way out of this problem, and it is important to side Xyz Encore for this reason as well.
Cards that negate special summoning such as Solemn Warning and Black Horn of Heaven can slow down this deck greatly. Summon Limit will prevent the player from summoning more than two while Macro Cosmos will banish any monster sent to the graveyard, which all of the decks key combos to summon many Synchro monsters rapidly in one turn mainly rely on the Graveyard (Quickdraw Synchron must be Special Summoned by discarding a monster to the Graveyard, Quillbolt Hedgehog, Doppelwarrior, and Level Eater must all be in the Graveyard for their effects to work.)
It can become very problematic for a Quickdraw Turbo deck to play against decks that use heavy trap support or even effect negation cards like Effect Veiler or against a Skill Drain deck. Maxx "C" is a great card to use against this deck as well because it can force the opponent not to special summon many monsters in fear of his/her opponent of drawing more cards. Even if they do, they will be at a severe hand disadvantage.
This deck's main weakness is arguably the opponent's Trap cards, as you can suffer much hand disadvantage making big Synchro Summon plays, then have the opponent's backrow easily removing your monster with no effort. Also, this deck requires many monsters in your hand at once to successfully make many Synchros in one turn (with all the Quickdraw Synchron, Doppelwarrior, and so on combos) and therefore does not effectively utilize many Traps without suffering less consistent Synchro Summoning. Thus, Royal Decree is a good card to use in this deck as the only Trap card, as its Synchro monsters can deal with most other problems your opponent may have out.

Portions: 5 to 6 portions per kg (depending on appetite)
Cooking Method; Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Centigrade. Heat a little oil in a heavy oven proof pan. Brown the fillet in the pan for a few minutes . Transfer to the oven for 20 minutes. Rest for 20 minutes before serving .
Storage: Your meat will arrive frozen. We believe freezing is nature's best way of storing wholesome food, ensuring minimum food waste. We hang our beef on the bone for 4 - 6 weeks to develop the flavour, and improve the tenderness, then freeze it when it is perfect to preserve it in peak condition. Our meat is dry hung on the bone to draw out moisture so it is just as good frozen as it would be fresh. We freeze it in convenient size freezer packs, which means you can take out the amount you need and never have to waste any food. To thaw a pack, simply drop the thick protective vacuum pack in cool water, and it will thaw in a few hours giving you maximum convenience and flexibility. We recommend that you store your Pheasants Hill Farm meat in your freezer. Once defrosted, please store your meat in your refrigerator, and cook within 3 days.

Happy Easter my dears ... we have a new Challenge over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges ... "Thanks".

"Friendship" is the topic at Stampavie and more this week. I made my card with fresh colours, so it fits perfect for spring and the Challenges at Everybody Art Challenges and Little Red Wagon. The base for my card is Kraft cardstock for Crazy 4 Challenges and I found the sketch at Truly Scrumptious.

Life doesn't always work to our favor. When we encounter setbacks, it's easy to become discouraged. We suddenly don't trust ourselves and the people around us. This domino effect leads to the eventual collapse of the different aspects in our lives. The things that have taken us years to build suddenly lost in a blink of an eye. Then, we become immobilized, and then we retreat into this dark shell that brings us further down.
Eventually, we have to come out of this hole and start rebuilding our lives. We're left with no choice but to do this or else all our financial reserves go down the drain. Quite often the only way out of a situation is to simply trudge go through it. As saddened and disappointed as we can be with the circumstances presented to us, we should decide that every day above the ground is still reason to celebrate. As bad as things can be, nothing is worth dying for.
Failures in some convoluted form are an integral part of life. We have to go through this to fully appreciate the successes that we have. If we were to become paralyzed and contemptuous, we will only exacerbate the already glum situation. It's throwing another log to the fire, and this will continue on and on unless we choose to put a stop to it. This vicious cycle of self-imposed ruin is something that we have to overcome. Life is a journey of self-evolvement, and each problem was made to make us stronger and more resilient. We have to simply embrace life to learn how to face adversities. No matter how good or bad the situation may be, they all will eventually end.
Life is all about growth through a variety of experiences. We can choose resistance or we can choose acceptance. The latter allows us to embrace the inherent lessons along the way. There are millions out there who are in the same boat. Everyone has to deal with these same things and we are never alone when we suffer. Let us share the cross that we carry with our friends and ask them to help us during dire times. A burden shared is a burden halved. With this in mind, we have to know that we can be surrounded by love if we allow it. We all must remember that happiness is all about overcoming disappointments. When we ask the help of our loved ones, we also have to know that we shouldn't hurt them along the way. We have to appreciate what they can offer and not ask for more. Friendship is a two-way thing. As much as we expect them to protect us, we also have to do everything within our power to make life easier for them because they also have responsibilities of their own to fulfill.
Perhaps the most pivotal message about disappointment sometimes is not about us at all. Sometimes the lesson learned is about inspiring others to never give up because there's nowhere to go but up when we are at the lowest point in our lives.

Evey once in a while a girl needs to spoil herself, for my birthday (I think it was good timing more than anything though) I got myself this little gem. Louis Vuitton have online shopping options now, I actually dont know when this started because I honestly haven't ever really like their stuff, so this was the first time I've looked haha. Anyway, I am a sunsine coast girl now and need online options because I really dont get the time to drive to Brisbane that much. So I first saw the Louis Vuitton Twist a few months ago, I fell in love with the twist buckle immediately! This is the size MM which is not huge, it fits a wallet, lipgloss, keys and a phone easily but if you want more than that you might have to squash it in!

The best season – resort 2016
I love ready to wear collections and while these shows were 6 months ago it is now perfect timing to get into these looks, here are my favourites from Resort 2016 Ready To Wear! Pictures from Vogue.com
Josh Goot: style and class combine.
Toni Maticevski: my one true love, his designs are always perfection!
Alex Perry: the iconic feminine, always amazingly beautiful!
Camilla and Marc: I love how they are so much more edgy these days, it really suits them!
Cleaning and conditioning your leathers
I recently looked at my Givenchy Antigona and realised how much I had been mistreating it, it had been about 3-4 months since my last clean and condition, this has started to make the bag shape a little off. The things I use are in the image below and the steps I use them in.
1. I use the Mr.Sheen wipes for once a week cleans
2. I use the hosehold leather care kit usually one a month, the kit has a cleaning solution, conditioner and sponge to apply the xonditioner, follow the instructions on the box for best results. I find the best place to get leather care item is from car part stores or high end bag and leathergood stores.
3. After doing the leather care kit I use the water and stain repeller to keep everyyhing safe and as a bit of a security blanket.
I think the most important thing to do after cleaning and conditioning is to stuff the bag with tissue paper and let it sit in the dust bag for a few days to ensure it doesn't lose shape while it is mosturised.
Doing this once a month will really make your items last so much longer. Remember they are an investment!
Mecca Cosmetica – go to for makeup!
Beauty Bay haul
I found out about beauty bay from a friend with amazing eyebrows, I always wanted to try Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade and only knew of it being on Net A Porter which has huge postage costs, so she let me know I could get it from Beauty Bay and they post to Australia! I decided to get a few extra things to get free post. First things first if you have ever thought about trying Anastasia Beverly Hills then you just need to go and get it, I'm so glad I did and don't know why it took this long. It doesn't transfer or rub off, is the perfect colours and is just so amazing! I watched some YouTube videos and just went for it. I'm so happy with it!
While I was there I bought an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette, 3 brushes and got a free lip and eye primer. Delivery to Australia took exactly 2 weeks and was packaged beautifully. Very happy!

"Toward, 'TO WEST,' is 32.09 minutes of fine experimental music that only Satoko Fujii can conceive and perform with such polish, and style. The remaining selections are equally well-performed: "Shake up and down," "Oscillation," "The I met you," and "The way to get there."
Satoko Fujii has much ingenuity and her experimentations in composing are setting standards for all improvisational music in contemporary jazz. An unusual CD! Congratulations to Satoko Fujii, Mark Dresser, and Jim Black for an exceptional outing in improvised music!

A Fource & MRG Concerts Production:
Ben Caplan & The Casual Smokers
With Special Guests, Spencer Burton
The Great Hall
1087 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON, M6J 1H3
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
It's time. It's time Ben Caplan gave his legions of fans what they've been waiting for these four
long years. After criss
crossing Canada and the US, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and some
dozen countries across Europe, Caplan has finally stopped long
enough to deliver the long
desired follow
up album to his 2011 debut,
In the Time of the Great Remembering
. Welcome
then, to
Birds with Broken Wings
"I think it could have been time for a new album years ago," admits our hir
sute hero. "but
wanted to
take my time and honour the process. There was a lot to learn. I wanted to make an
album that was complex but with room for strangers to find their way into it. I wanted to
collaborate with people who inspire me and discover unexpected things. It takes ti
It turns out this could be the best record you'll hear all year. Caplan has moved his sound by
leaps and bounds, his soul
fired, charismatic music exploding out in surprising new directions.
Along the way, he joined forces with over 30 different mu
sicians, a raft of unconventional
acoustic instruments, and the hottest production/ar
ranging/mixing team imaginable. The eleven
songs that make up
Birds with Broken Wings
range from angry and edgy to dramatic and
inspirational, to some of the most unconve
ntional and beautiful work Caplan or anyone else has
made. All your expectations of what a Ben Caplan album could be are met, but you'll also hear
him like you never believed you would. You'll get that blustery, raspy, fire
brimstone force
of nature,
but then he'll woo you with rich and delicate vocals as lovely as any you've heard.
The album took a long time, and great care went into it, but that's only part of the journey. Most
of it was spent on the road. Since the release of his first album, Ca
plan has played well over a
thousand shows. He was on the road from eight to ten months of each year. Many bands don't
play that many gigs in their entire career.
Why so much? "Because I want to live this music,
and that's the only way I can think of
to do it," Caplan explains. "To afford the luxury of
developing your craft for a living, it's either winning the lottery or working your ass off."
That hard work has paid off, as Caplan has built a loyal fan base that stretches from the U.S., to
most of
Europe, and of course, coast
coast in Canada. When he launched a Pledge
campaign to fund the new album, the full target goal was reached in just 48 hours. "I'm very
fortunate that going into my second record I have a spectacular platform," he confides.
"I have
over 20,000 fans engaged online and listeners in more than 30 countries. I have this broad
international fan base, but it's all a little under the radar. I wanted to make a record that my
audience would be excited to hear and that they would be e
xcited to share."
It's no surprise that the seeds of the alb
um were sown on tour.
Caplan was already a fan of
Montreal producer and rapper Josh "Socalled" Dolgin, known for his unique blend of hip
and klezmer. Even though they both live in Canada, Cap
lan only met him by chance while
touring in Eastern Europe. "I met Socalled at the Green Zoo festival in Poland," he explains. "I
found out he was playing, and I had been trying to answer the question of who was going to
produce the album for months at tha
t point. I went to his set, hoping to meet him and find out if
we could work together. Seeing him perform live and the way that he unpretentiously flowed
between different styles, fusing seemingly disparate genres, really captured my attention. After
g his set, I knew I had to work with this guy. I am grateful he signed on!"
"We got crazy with instrumentation and arrangements and bringing in guest musicians, more
than 30 different players on the record," say Caplan, still spinning from the process.
recorded for weeks, 10
hour days, grabbing sounds, and re
doing this and overdubbing that,
bringing in new people and recording things that we knew we might not use, but that could
perhaps provide those juicy little moments. We spent days upon days, w
eeks, almost as much
time as we spent recording it, maybe more, editing it, and hacking everything down to its most
essential moments."
It's perhaps the most eclectic group of musicians ever found in one set of credits, including the
great James Brown a
nd P
Funk trombonist Fred Wesley,
who arranged one cut.
"We got the
principal harpist from the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal to come throw down some harp,"
adds Caplan. "We got the amazing Joe Grass from Patrick Watson's band on pedal steel,
Mohamed Raky, a darbouka player from North Africa. And the cimbalom player,
Nicolae M
rgineanu, he used to be the conductor of the Moldavian Symphony Orchestra, and
was once a professional concert cimbalomist. I guess there aren't a lot of concert cimbalom
in Canada so perhaps he's a hidden gem. I feel very privileged to have worked with him."
Remarkably, with all those players and choices, the album turned out uncluttered, and an aural
delight. "The last step was taking to this mixer in Paris, this
guy Renaud Letang," says Caplan.
"In my mind, Renaud is the top of the top. He's an unknown to most fans of music, but his ears
have had a major impact on a ton of records people know and love. He did all the Manu Chau
albums, he mixed the last three or f
our Feist albums, and all the recent Gonzales stuff, Alain
Souchon, Seu Jorge, and on and on. His mixes are always super clear and beautiful. I really
think he's a untouchable. And the vocals are always very clear. With the plethora of sounds on
this album
, I wanted to make sure we would have mixes where the vocals would still sit on top
and sound very clear. I didn't want all the ear candy to distract."
Those lyrics and themes are at the core of understanding Ben Caplan. "I try not to sing cliches,"
he a
dvises. "I'm fighting to make sure that any lyric I settle on will be something I can live with
for a long time." To that end, his songs are full of major topics of our time, holding a mirror up to
society so we can take a good, long look at ourselves. "I
like looking at the ugly bits, celebrating
the darkness and the nasty bits that are at the root of the sublime."
The nasty bits include the title cut, a song about extremism in it's many forms and about people
who believe in pursuing ends without examini
ng the consequences of the means. The song
Dusk talks about the dangers of the oil economy. While those songs are among the most
energetic on the album, perhaps the quieter numbers stand out even more. Known for his lower
range and his great growl, here C
aplan is able to show off the impressive softer side of his
vocals, away from the stage.
That's heard the best in the beautiful and brave performance on Night Like Tonight. With its
woodwinds, brass, strings and vintage crooner arrangement, Caplan drops
the rasp from his
voice, adds trills and reaches high notes never heard before in his repertoire. He pulls it off
splendidly, as he does all the other themes, styles, and ideas overflowing on the new album.
Don't spend a lot of time worrying about what t
o call
Birds with Broken Wings
though. It defies
description, even to its creator. "I don't make dance music, but it's music that you'll want to move
to," he offers. "I don't know exactly what it is that I'm trying to do, I just do it. The instrumentatio
is very different from song to song. I don't ask myself what genre it is, and I don't let that trouble
me. That's why I wanted to work with Socalled, his albums aren't exactly hip
hop or klezmer, or
any of the many other things they get called. They ar
e always a thousand things rolled into one.
A profusion of diverse musical threads weaved into one tapestry."
Maybe that's the best description of Ben Caplan, a thousand things rolled into one. He's a road
warrior, an international presence, a one
ind performer. Now, he has the album to put him
on everyone's radar as well.
Spanning a musical life with hardcore beginnings, to the somber strings of his acoustic guitar in his country-folk infused solo project, Spencer Burton is a mainstay musical virtuoso.
Releasing simply under his own name, his new album 'Don't Let The World See Your Love' (and his third solo offering) was produced with Daniel Romano.
"I rode motorcycles, long and lonely, fell in with the wrong people, drank everything I could to pass the time and put the pain away," reflected Spencer of the days spent crossing Canada, culminating the muses and memories that would weave into the stories he's told on this new album.

[Ed. – Waiver for the union to follow…]
A national union that represents 300,000 low-wage hospitality workers charges in a new report that Obamacare will slam wages, cut hours, limit access to health insurance and worsen the very "income equality" President Obama says he is campaigning to fix.
Unite Here warned that due to Obamacare's much higher costs for health insurance than what union workers currently pay, the result will be a pay cut of up to $5 an hour. "If employers follow the incentives in the law, they will push families onto the exchanges to buy coverage. This will force low-wage service industry employees to spend $2.00, $3.00 or even $5.00 an hour of their pay to buy similar coverage," said the union in a new report.
"Only in Washington could asking the bottom of the middle class to finance health care for the poorest families be seen as reducing inequality," said the report from Unite Here. "Without smart fixes, the ACA threatens the middle class with higher premiums, loss of hours, and a shift to part-time work and less comprehensive coverage," said the report, titled, "The Irony of Obamacare: Making Inequality Worse."
Based on government and private reports, polling and statements from administration officials, the report, to be sent to pro-union members in Congress, charges that low-wage workers are taking the hit under Obamacare, while wealthy insurance companies
fatten up on government subsidies.

Tribute from Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
On hearing of the death of His Holiness Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, said: "We have lost one of the great heroes of our modern world. Pope John Paul II was an outstanding leader of the Catholic Church during a period of dramatic political change. He challenged the tyranny of Communism. He championed the cause of social justice. He inspired millions by his human warmth and moral tenacity. He was a good friend to his fellow bishops whose faith he confirmed and strengthened. Above all, he was a man of prayer and a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ."

In Kenya, half brother to Obama runs for governor
lost in DC West Jordan, UTMarch 2, 2013 4:10 p.m.
Mr. Larson,
We give BO no less respect than he deserves. Certainly more than the libs gave bush.
Pack Layton, UtahMarch 1, 2013 10:38 a.m.
Respect is earned not just given because of a position Mr. Larson. It is possible to respect the office of President of the United States without respecting the man who is in that position because of his policies, agendas, and performance. I for one pray that President Obama will lead our great country in a more effective way than he has during the past four years. It is true that the attitude of the country reflects the leadership of the country.
Richard Larson Galt, CAMarch 1, 2013 10:13 a.m.
I really, really hope that Malik Obama gets
MORE respect then his brother gets!!
(especially from the U.S. and utah in-particular)
Kitenoa Salt Lake City, UTMarch 1, 2013 9:51 a.m.
Can President Obama give his brother a hand with some campaign donation? How much or how difficult would that be?
Say No to BO Mapleton, UTMarch 1, 2013 8:10 a.m.
Doesn't Obama have several relatives living in the United States as well?

The Altera(R) Automotive Graphics System (AAGS) is a scalable solution that enables design engineers to quickly and efficiently design multiple automotive infotainment products based on a single electronic design. Implemented in Altera's low-cost Cyclone(R) series or high-performance Stratix(R) series FPGAs, the AAGS enables designers to overcome the lengthy and costly design cycles of fixed-function graphic controllers.
The AAGS design platform integrates Altera's Nios(R) II embedded processor with third-party intellectual property (IP) and design tools from automotive graphics partners including:
- TES Electronic Solutions OpenGL ES-compliant graphics library and embedded 2D/3D Graphic Multiplatform Library (eGML), for the real-time generation of display graphics
- Imagem's spline-based library for handling bitmaps, frame buffer accesses, drawing of graphic primitives and object handing and movement
- SEGGER's Microcontroller Systeme GmbH support for emWin
- Altia's GUI building tool for quick automotive human machine interface (HMI) development
In addition to the Nios II processor, the AAGS incorporates a LCD timing controller, a basic multi-layer multi-display controller, a sophisticated spline manipulation engine and a vector graphics acceleration engine.

This paper reports on a study of the electrical properties of SnO 2-based varistor blocks. The nonlinearity of these ceramics was evaluated based on their voltage-current characteristics, while the height, width and charge carriers were evaluated by impedance spectroscopy and activation energies. The a values were relatively low, with the SCNCrPr system showing the highest value: 6.3. Although the average grain size of the SCNCrLa system was small, i.e., 1.66 mm, its Er value was very low, which may be attributed to the non-formation of effective barriers in the grain boundary region, thus generating a high leakage current in the order of 230 μA.

An investigation was made of the microstructural and electrical properties of SnO2-based varistors microwave sintered at 1200 °C, applying a heating rate of 120 C/min and treatment times of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min. The system used in this study was (98.95-X)%SnO2.1.0%CoO.0.05%Cr2O3.X%Ta 2O 5, where X corresponds to 0.05 and 0.065 mol%. Sintering was carried out in a domestic microwave oven (2.45 GHz) fitted for lab use. Silicon carbide was placed in a refractory vessel to form a heating chamber surrounding the sample holder. The pellets were examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, direct current measurements and impedance spectroscopy. The parameters of density, medium grain size, coefficient of nonlinearity, breakdown electrical field, leakage current, and height and width of the potential barrier were analyzed.

Varistors are elements that are part of electric power transmission and distribution systems or of special electrical installations. Varistors are manufactured in a wide variety of types, depending on their application, such as low-voltage devices with a layer of a few grains of thickness and low breakdown voltage, to varistors with a breakdown voltage of several kilovolts, such as those used in the lightning arresters of electric power distribution networks. Varistors, whose physical operation has been extensively studied, share common elements such as metal-semiconductor Schottky barrier junctions. Several studies have focused on the development of varistor ceramics for high and low voltage applications, including ZnO, SnO2, TiO2, and more recently, WO3-based ceramics. Unlike the first three compositions, WO3-based ceramics present an intrinsic varistor behavior because they contain monoclinic and triclinic phases. The addition of electron donor and acceptor dopants and heat treatments in different atmospheres also alter the non-linear properties of these systems, since they affect the formation of the Schottky barrier. This paper offers a review of the literature on the new varistor ceramic composition based on tungsten oxide (WO3). © 2016, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. All rights reserved.

Nabarro has elected head of real estate Ciaran Carvalho as senior partner following a three-way contested election.
The elections came after incumbent senior partner Graham Stedman announced he will retire at the end of April.
Carvalho won a contested election in which he stood against corporate partner Iain Newman and head of dispute resolution Jonathan Warne.
This is the second time Carvalho has stood for the senior partner position after losing the role to Stedman in 2013. In a statement Stedman said he looked forward to working with Carvalho to "ensure a seamless handover".
Carvalho said: "Our focus on four sectors, increasing the work we win from international clients, and a programme of change to refine how we provide our services, are central to the firm's future success. Together I know we can secure that future and take the firm to new heights. This is an exciting time for Nabarro and it is a privilege to be the firm's next senior partner."
Since joining the firm in 2009 Carvalho has brought a number of clients to the firm including Lendlease, Urban&Civic, Angelo Gordon, Union Investment and Employees Provident Fund of Malaysia.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A Holocaust survivor is speaking about healing from the tragedy at the South Carolina State Museum.
Author Eva Mozes Kor speaks Thursday in a lecture sponsored by the South Carolina Council on the Holocaust.
At the Auschwitz concentration camp, Kor and her twin sister were subjected to Dr. Josef Mengele's genetic experiments. They survived, and were liberated by Soviet troops in January 1945.
Now, Kor operates an Indiana museum dedicated to teaching about the Nazis' World War II killings of some 6 million Jews in Europe. She has written books on her experience and was the subject of the documentary "Forgiving Dr. Mengele."
A traveling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum called "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race" is also at the state museum.

Two unlikely artists are in the running for CMA Awards on Thursday. Pop veteran Kelly Clarkson is a surprise finalist for Female Vocalist of the Year. Rap icon Snoop Dogg is up for Musical Event of the Year for his role in Willie Nelson's "Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die," which also features Kris Kristofferson and Jamey Johnson. Snoop Dogg (a.k.a. Snoop Lion) has collaborated with everyone from Dr. Dre and Akon to Katy Perry and the Pussycat Dolls. But country is a stretch. He would be one of the most unlikely artists ever to win a CMA Award.
Clarkson and Jason Aldean won a CMA award at last year's show for their smash "Don't You Wanna Stay." The song, which spent three weeks at #1 on Hot Country Songs in March 2011, won as Musical Event of the Year. Clarkson landed her first major country hit in 2007 when she and Reba McEntire teamed for a duet version of Clarkson's 2005 pop hit "Because Of You." The remake reached #2 on the country chart and was nominated for a CMA Award. But Clarkson has yet to record a country album or have a big country hit that wasn't a duet.
(A third CMA nominee this year, Lionel Richie, has stronger country credentials. He wrote and produced Kenny Rogers' 1980 country smash "Lady." His 1984 hit "Stuck On You" became a moderate country hit. He had a top 10 country hit in 1987 with "Deep River Woman," which featured Alabama. But of course he's best known for pop and R&B. He's nominated this year for Musical Event of the Year for a remake of "Stuck On You" featuring Darius Rucker. It's featured on his album Tuskegee, which reached #1 on both The Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums.)
Here are 10 unlikely CMA winners through the years.
Julio Iglesias. The Latin heartthrob teamed with country legend Willie Nelson to win Vocal Duo of the Year in 1984. Their crossover smash, "To All The Girls I've Loved Before," spent two weeks at #1 on Hot Country Songs in May 1984. The unlikely duet partners returned to the top 10 the following year with a second duet, "Spanish Eyes."
Jason Alexander. The Seinfeld co-star and sometime director won in 2007 for directing Brad Paisley's music video for "Online," which won as Music Video of the Year. Alexander also appeared in the video as the geeky son of William Shatner and Estelle Harris. Paisley's single reached #1 on Hot Country Songs in September 2007.
Robert Plant. The former lead singer of Led Zeppelin teamed with Alison Krauss to win Musical Event of the Year in 2008 for "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)." The song was from their album Raising Sand, which reached #2 on both The Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums in 2007.
Andy Griffith. The TV icon teamed with Brad Paisley in the 2008 music video, "Waitin' On A Woman," which won as Music Video of the Year. Paisley's single reached #1 on Hot Country Songs in September 2008.
Marie Osmond. Osmond is best known as a TV personality and one half of Donny & Marie, so you may have forgotten that she had a series of country hits in the 1970s and 1980s. Osmond was just 14 in November 1973 when she landed a #1 country hit with a remake of Anita Bryant's "Paper Roses." Twelve years later, she and Dan Seals teamed for "Meet Me In Montana," which reached #1 on Hot Country Songs in October 1985. They won as Vocal Duo of the Year in 1986. It turns she really is "a little bit country."
Jimmy Buffett. The pop veteran teamed with Alan Jackson to win Vocal Event of the Year in 2003 for "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere." The song was #1 on Hot Country Songs for eight weeks in the summer of 2003. Buffett's biggest country hit until then was his 1977 pop smash "Margaritaville," which reached #13 on the country chart. Jackson & Buffett recorded a new version of that song in 1999. In 2004, Jackson and four other country stars backed Buffett on a remake of Hank Williams' 1951 hit "Hey Good Lookin." It became a top 10 hit. In 2011, Buffett was featured on Zac Brown Band's #1 country hit, "Knee Deep."
Darius Rucker. Rucker has been a major country star since 2008. He has logged five #1 hits on Hot Country Songs. He even won the CMA's Horizon Award in 2009. But in the big picture, his second career in country after hitting it big in the 1990s with the pop/rock band Hootie & the Blowfish was unexpected.
Rick Rubin. The versatile producer, who has worked with everyone from Red Hot Chili Peppers to Dixie Chicks, won two awards in 2003 for his work with Johnny Cash. American IV: The Man Comes Around was voted Album of the Year. Cash's haunting cover version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" took Single of the Year (even though it stalled at #56 on Hot Country Songs).
Grace Potter. The lead singer of the rock band Grace Potter & the Nocturnals was featured on Kenny Chesney's 2011 hit "You And Tequila," which reached #3 on Hot Country Songs. She also appeared in the video, which won a CMA Award for Music Video of the Year. Potter also sings a background vocal on Chesney's current hit, "El Cerrito Place."
Dave Loggins. Loggins, who had a top five pop hit in 1974 with the tender ballad "Please Come To Boston," is Kenny Loggins' cousin. He was featured on Anne Murray's "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do," which reached #1 on Hot Country Songs in December 1984. It brought them the award for Vocal Duo of the Year in 1985. (It's a small world: Kenny Loggins wrote two of Murray's biggest hits, "Danny's Song" and "Love Song.")

I'm excited to announce a major telematic concert series we're producing this April (2013). Virtual Tour will be a series of 3 concerts, each involving a core ensemble in San Diego, CA, performing together with a different remote ensemble each night: Amherst, MA (April 5); Zurich, Switzerland (April 6); and Stony Brook, NY (April 7).
Mark Dresser and I are co-producing Virtual Tour in collaboration with our co-directors at each of the three sites: Sarah Weaver (NY), Jason Robinson (MA) and Matthias Ziegler (Zurich). In addition, the five of us are all composing new works for the event, as are several other participating artists, Nicole Mitchell, Marty Ehrlich, and Gerry Hemingway. And the ensembles include many other great musicians as well: Myra Melford, Jane Ira Bloom, Ray Anderson, Min Xiao Fen, Matt Wilson, Bob Weiner and Doug Van Nort.
We've been working for over a year on this project, and it builds on many years of telematic exploration as well as decades of shared history among some of these musicians. I feel deeply grateful to be collaborating with so many fantastic musicians near and far.
The press release is below, and we plan to create a site with more materials soon. I hope to see you in April at these unique performances!
– Michael Dessen
Press Release:
Virtual Tour: A Reduced Carbon-Footprint Concert Series (2013)
On April 5, 6 and 7, 2013, a quartet of internationally renowned composer-improvisers and UC faculty – Mark Dresser, Nicole Mitchell, Myra Melford and Michael Dessen – will perform an unprecedented "virtual tour" of new music conceived for world-class improvisers performing together in different geographical locations via Internet2. Taking advantage of high bandwidth networks available only at research and educational institutions, these concerts will feature virtuoso performers performing together across thousands of miles with lifelike, uncompressed audio and minimal time delays and HD video, setting a new standard for music making on the telematic stage.
Telematic music is live performance via the internet by musicians in different geographic locations. With the core group performing each night at the University of California San Diego's Conrad Prebys Music Center Theater, the collaborative partners include a diverse lineup of outstanding improvisers and composers: Jason Robinson, Marty Ehrlich and Bob Weiner at Amherst College on April 5; Matthias Ziegler and Gerry Hemingway at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology (ICST) in Zurich on April 6; and Sarah Weaver, Jane Ira Bloom, Ray Anderson, Min Xiao Fen and Matt Wilson at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, Consortium for Digital Arts, Culture, and Technology (cDACT) at Stony Brook University in New York on April 7.
This Virtual Tour builds upon years of collaborative exploration into the artistic potential of telematics for improvisers performing simultaneously in different cities and even continents. Co-directors and UC Professors Mark Dresser and Michael Dessen, along with Sarah Weaver and Jason Robinson, have been leading innovators in the field of networked jazz and improvised music. This project represents an important step forward: a "virtual tour" in which a core group at UC San Diego will perform a series of concerts with other ensembles and live audiences in different cities each night. The tour will feature premieres of new works created specifically for the telematic stage, with compositions by Mark Dresser, Michael Dessen, Nicole Mitchell, Jason Robinson, Marty Ehrlich, Gerry Hemingway, Matthias Ziegler and Sarah Weaver.
This virtual tour format also enables the musician to mine the environmental benefits of networking technologies. By rehearsing via the internet over a period of many months, the musicians will develop a body of music that would normally require multiple flights, saving thousands of dollars, scores of travel hours, and much fossil fuel.
Collaboration has always been central to jazz traditions, and telematics offers possibilities for extending collective models of music making in exciting, new ways. Just as recording technology transformed jazz in the early 20th century by allowing improvisations to be captured and shared outside of local regions, 21st century networking technologies now provide options for collaboration that have never before existed in the history of music. Featuring an array of renowned musicians and building upon years of experience in networked performance, Virtual Tour promises to be a powerful and unique concert series that sets a new precedent for music making.

text: 1 Chronicles 29:10-22 is a wonderful prayer, spoken by David, which is a joy to read. It is the acknowledgement by David, that all that He, and the people whom He reigned over (by God's grace) could bring to God, was only what He (God) had given to them. So it is that David says, in verse 14, ' ... of Thine Own have we given Thee' ' ... Both riches and honour come of Thee, and Thou reignest over all; and in Thine hand is power and might; and in Thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee. For we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build Thee an house for Thine holy name cometh of Thine hand, and is all Thine own. ... ' * How true is this of us, too, isn't it? All we can give to God, in Christ, is what He has given to us - 'in Him'. ' ... for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee' Praise His Holy Name! It's very humbling isn't it? In Christ Jesus Chris

Halloween is just around the corner and while many kids are over-the-top excited for it, many adults cringe at the thought of finding and purchasing or making a costume for their kids or themselves. It doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming and can be as simple as a closet assembled outfit and some clever face painting.
The great news is that you don't have to be a professional artist to pull off some of these simple face painting ideas. You may want to purchase some non-toxic, water based body or face paints but can also use eye and lip pencils from yours (or your partner's) makeup collection at home. More and more stores, from thrift shops to department and drug stores carry products specifically for face painting and don't cost very much at all. You can also visit costume stores, dance supply stores and craft stores.
Before applying any face paint to the entire face, it's a good idea to test it on a small patch of skin to determine if you, or your child, has an allergy or skin sensitivity to the product. Water based paints are generally less irritating to the skin and are quite easy to wash off with soap and water.
Keep in mind that a little pre-planning is always a good idea. Search for face painting pictures and face painting templates on the internet, try http://www.face-painting-fun.com/index.html ). Once you've decided what design you will use, map out the colors you'll need to create your face. Determine whether you need an all-over color as your base or if you will simply be creating shapes and filling those in. If you are not comfortable with drawing smooth or straight lines, dot out your desired shape and connect the dots into a line.
Quite often, the creams or liquids used for face painting tend to smudge quite easily. You can help to remedy this by pressing a translucent face powder on top of the paint in order to help set it and also to reduce shine. Q-tips and sponges will come in handy for blending, smudging and fixing minor boo-boo's along the way.
You can easily add a little extra oomph to any face paint by using crafts like feathers, jewels, or glitter to add flight to a butterfly's wings or to give your superhero some sparkle!
From animated movie characters to monsters and animals alike, the possibilities are endless!

Has anyone hired a stump grinder and done the job themselves. we've been quoted £250 to remove 8 stumps or we could hire the machine for a day for £60. Just wondering what its like to use. Ta

Stump grinding
I thought this was going to be about amputee fetish app...
Stump grinder? Anyone?... I'll get my coat
I have had Geoff the grinderman in a few times and he uses a serious bit of kit with a V-twin motor and it has broken a couple of times (teeth, and belt etc) because they (and you) take a right hammering. If your 8 stumps are a reasonable size or hard wood or just difficult shape etc then it will take you days with a toy grinder from a hire shop. Its not just the stump it also any horizontal roots.
I don't see nothin wrong, with a little stump 'n' grind.
Depends on why you want to remove them, if they're in a lawn, not too big (six inch or so) and you want to grass over them and, a small hired one will probably suffice. However, if you want to remove completely anything substantial then a larger piece of kit might be needed. Our work one is a v-twin, drinks petrol and blunts teeth for fun.
Thanks for the replies, seems like we'll be paying the man
The machine I hired was a beast and destroyed three tree stumps pretty easily. Heavy machine to move around but once in position was great fun!
Saw a 360 mounted one at work once, prep. before road construction.
They called it a stump-f***er.
Just thought I'd share, of no use to you.
I've got a 14 inch oak stump in my lawn, inherited when we moved in
I guessed it'd take some major equipment to shift, so I left it (14 years in and not rotting at all)
We found it was cheaper to get someone in than hire
Heres me on the job,
Theyre evil things, also can you get it near the stump access down side of house etc.
The man will have a real machine and know how to use it. Get the man.
How big are the stumps? If you have time and want to enjoy having something to do then go for it, but if you just want the job done then get someone in.
