Fortunately, there is a safe and effective alternative to keep those nasty insects at bay. Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Spray is a natural insect repellent spray that's safe for dogs and cats - and their people! It contains no DEET, organophosphates, or other dangerous pesticides, and it can even be used with puppies and kittens too young for other flea remedies.
Why it works: Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Spray uses lemongrass, citronella, neem oil, catnip, and other natural herbal extracts to keep away every variety of annoying insect pest. Most people and pets don't mind the herbal-citrus scent, but insects definitely do! It keeps mosquitoes and biting flies off your pet's vulnerable ears, saving days of scratching and discomfort from itchy bites. Spraying your dog and your pant legs before your daily walk or a hike will deter ticks and reduce your risk of picking up those disease carrying hitchhikers.
Of course, you can use this natural repellent as needed with outdoor cats and with dogs before a trip to the dog park, doggy day care, training class, etc., to minimize the chances of bringing home fleas, the worst insect enemy of all. Our customers agree that this herbal spray is gentle, and best of all, effective for keeping nasty insects off their pets (please see their comments below this product description).
Our Herbal Defense Spray also works well as part of a holistic flea prevention or treatment plan. If you are preparing for flea season or already involved in a battle with fleas, please see our article, The Natural Approach to Flea Control, for helpful tips and suggestions. We've also grouped our natural flea remedies into convenient kits based on the severity of your flea situation to save you time and money in gathering your weapons to win the war on fleas, safely and naturally. Please click here to see our Flea Care Kits for Cats and for Dogs.
Why you should go natural: Toxic chemical pesticides have been known to cause immediate health crises in some dogs and cats, and perhaps worse, these chemicals can circulate and accumulate in our pets' bodies, doing unseen damage to vital organs that may go undetected for years. And then there is the damage these chemical residues can do to our children, ourselves, and the environment. Pesticides used in the home and yard leave residue in our systems, too, and many pesticide residues end up in our water supply, with their lingering presence detectable in soil and water samples for many years, and perhaps indefinitely.
Current research findings suggest that beyond their immediate toxic impact on natural ecosystems, many chemical residues break down into compounds that mimic hormones and may wreak havoc on wildlife populations that are exposed to them.In many parts of the country, insect pests like fleas are becoming immune to the pesticides being used against them, creating "super pests" that become even tougher to eradicate and require even more toxic solutions to kill them. Using natural products to keep insects away prevents this problem.
Our Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense products are a natural line of insect repellent spray and bath products that are non-toxic, and safe to use for dogs, cats, and humans. These top quality natural insect repellants use herbal ingredients to safely and effectively make your pets less attractive to insect parasites, without the dangerous effects of those toxic chemical products. Herbal Defense and our other natural products for protection from fleas and ticks give you peace of mind, as well as great results.
Complementary Approaches:When fighting fleas, especially a severe infestation, it is always more effective to approach the problem from more than one angle. Here are some other strategies that you may want to consider along with Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Spray:

Review Rating: 4
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Only Natural Pet
Shipping Weight: 0.6
Ingredients - SD 40 Alcohol (corn-derived); Sierra Nevada Spring Water, Essential Oils of Organic Lemongrass, Citronella, Patchouli, Clove, Neem Oil, Pennyroyal, and Catnip; and Soybean Oil
Suggested Use
For Dogs
For Cats
The essential oils used in this formula are very diluted and should be well tolerated by most cats, however, a small number of cats may be sensitive to them, so use the spray lightly, particularly on the first application. For cats that dislike having spray applied directly on them, spray Herbal Defense lightly on a cloth and then rub the cloth over your cat, or apply sparingly with a cotton ball around ears or other vulnerable areas, avoiding the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Discontinue use if your pet shows any change in condition that concerns you, and contact your veterinarian if problem persists.
Please remember, this product is a repellant and you may use small amounts, especially before going outside. In large amounts, the essential oils may temporarily discolor white hair or fur. If you notice discoloration that you dislike on your pet, wash your dog with a shampoo or dishwashing liquid that contains detergents, as this is the most effective way to remove the oils.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Spray:
Purchased this in mid May this year and since first application I have had no fleas or ticks on any of the three cats and my dog. I opted to spray their bedding and the furniture instead of direct application and it's been very effective. My first flea/tick free spring and summer! Definitely will continue to use this product as long as it continues to be this effective. :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

worth the try

About Me New Pet Owner
My dog runs when I try to spray it on her, but she doesn't mind if I spray it on my hands and rub it on to her. It has a pleasant smell it may be a little strong for some persons but it wears off after a while. I was skeptical as we've only been using it for a couple of weeks, but I check her daily for fleas and I haven't found any fleas on my dog so as long as she's happy, I'm happy.
Worked great!
By Neeko's BFF
from Cavalier, ND
We used this on our 13 year old Shiba Inu while on a camping trip and the flies, gnats and other bugs were terrible. He is usually not very cooperative when using things like this, I sprayed some on him then put some on a cloth and wiped it on his ears. He didn't seem to mind it at all and was not bothered by the bugs for the remainder of the trip. I love this product and especially knowing that it is all natural and safe for him. Smells good too!
pleasure having a natural product
By Rev Joeb
from Brodheadsville Pa
About Me Veterinarian
This was a pleasure to have because it was a full coverage product used once a week in conjunction with brewers yeast worked 100% effective and I had no reservations about a chemical reaction or sensitivity to it. I like that my family members weren't faced with chemicals either. This is what pest control is about 100% safety first and 100% effective Hallelujah free at last.

Repellent doesn't repel
By Chatty Cathy
from Henry County Virginia
Though the repellent sprays on easily and has a pleasant spicy smell, my tri-colored rat terriers HATE it and, worse, it really doesn't seem to be working all that well! Both dogs will run if they see the bottle, but if I'm sneaky(and I have all sorts of strategies to "annoint" them before each daily walk on the nature trails near home) I can stand them up on hind legs and spray their bellies and legs, then spray my hand to rub on their heads, backs and necks. They immediately begin to roll in the grass or rub against bushes to remove the oily spray. But, long story short, it doesn't really work. We have ticks galore here in SW Virginia, and I find at least one on each dog every day. Sometimes more. The rubbing they do isn't sufficient to really remove the spray--I can smell it for hours afterward--and maybe it's keeping most of the ticks off them, but it's not a very happy situation to still be finding inflated buggers on them VERY frequently. I check them over at least twice a day, but ticks are still finding their way to attaching. So, to prevent the worse problem of infection, I'll have to go back to pesticides. VERY disappointing!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

from USA and Canada
I enjoy essential oils so it was easy to order this product. My Min Pin has short fur and is exposed to a lot of pests and flora that irritate her skin so this spray addresses both the biting bugs and the abrasions and hotspots she gets while outside. Not sure of all the ingredients that are actually in the product since the label indicates a list then mentions other ingredients not listed. I like that the product can be used daily or weekly. My dog (and I) experienced no hypersensitivity issues after application. Fast shipping and well-packaged. The item came undamaged and the spray cap was secured with strong tape. Nothing leaked :) Will be buying this again since it's economical and cost-effective when compared with my home brew of the same ingredients. Thanks!
Great product!
By Kelly
from Upper Peninsula, MI
I bought this last Spring and used it throughout the whole summer. I have a white boxer with many sensitivitys and allergies. He didn't have any side effects to this spray. When I sprayed his body with it, I never saw bug bites on him or mosquitos or other bugs pestering him. It worked the same for my other boxer as well. I sprayed it on them daily if we were camping and weekly if we were home. It lasts a long time and works well even in the deep woods which is where we camp often with our dogs. I am very pleased with this product.

Smells so good
By Spanky's Mom

Word of warning. If your dog licks his paws avoid spraying them. Caused vomiting. Ok on rest of body.

I use this on my pets (a small Maltese, and a mid-size terrier) and on myself and husband. It works great to keep the fleas and mosquitos away and smells like patchouli. We love it!

Why Cable TV in Orlean, VA
Cable TV in Orlean offers hours of entertainment, advanced technology that's easy to use and one surefire way to save $400 every year. Enjoy hours of On Demand content, local channels, movies and hundreds of HD channels. Cable is all-digital; it delivers a consistent signal, no matter the weather, so you're never left without something to watch. Cable service is easily bundled with high-speed Internet.

Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
How Orlean Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Why Choose Cable Internet in Orlean
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Orlean residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Virginia grew to 70% by 2010.

Find Cable TV in Orlean

How To Make Cranberry Mustard for the Holidays
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
We've been featuring great homemade food gifts here on The Kitchn this week, and with holiday leftovers abound one can always appreciate a savory condiment to freshen things up and add new flavors.
Today we're going to show you how to make a Cranberry Mostarda, with the help of Chef Mat Clouser of Swift's Attic. Then we're going to wrap things up and gift some to our friends for the holidays.
A cranberry mostarda is an Italian condiment that is exactly what it sounds like — pureed cranberries with mustard and 'ahhh.' At Swift's they use it with smoked ham to add tart and sweet flavors that complement the natural saltiness of the pork. The best thing is making it is easier than you might think — Mat Clouser shows us how.
How To Make and Gift a Cranberry Mostarda for the HolidaysFills about five 8-oz mason jars
Recipe courtesy of Swift's Attic
What You Need
2 1/2 pounds cranberries
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seed
1 1/2 teaspoons Szechuan peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seed
2 1/2 tablespoons of ground yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole grain mustard
Shallow baking pan
Food Processor or blender
Rubber spatula
Fine mesh strainer
Six 8-oz mason jars
1. Set out all your ingredients and have some wine: Measuring out all the ingredients beforehand will make the whole process much easier (and you'll feel like a chef). Reserve 1 cup of the white wine in a small jar, and then pour yourself a glass (or two) to enjoy while you cook.
2. Pour the cranberries onto a shallow baking pan: Spread the cranberries out flat in a single layer so they roast evenly.
3. Roast the cranberries: Place them into an oven set to 450°F. Let them roast for about 20 minutes or until the skin on the majority of the cranberries is blackened.
4. Toast the seeds: While the cranberries are roasting, toast the brown mustard seeds, Szechuan peppercorns and coriander seeds in a skillet set over medium heat. Make sure the seeds are in a single layer and gently swirl (and even toss if you're adventurous) to toast the seeds evenly.Toast for another few seconds after the seeds become fragrant and enjoy the aroma. Transfer the seeds to a clean dish and set aside.
5. Deglaze the cranberry pan: As soon as you remove the cranberries from the oven while the pan is still hot, add the reserved cup of white wine and deglaze the pan with a spatula. Make sure to scrape up all the roasted bits.
6. Add the cranberries into a food processor or blender: Pour the berries to the blender while they were still steaming to make sure all the juices and bits ran off into the food processor easily.
7. Add the the salt, toasted seeds, and ground yellow mustard. Add the salt, toasted seeds, and ground yellow mustard to the blender with the cranberries.
8. Puree the cranberries: Blend the mixture until smooth but the seeds are still visible.
Chef Tip: Blending the mixture while still hot will pull more flavor from the toasted seeds before we strain them out later.
9. Strain the cranberry puree: Place the strainer over a bowl and pour in the cranberry puree. Scrape with a rubber spatula to force all the blended puree through the strainer. This process essentially removes all the skin from the cranberries.
10. Scrape the backside of the strainer: Don't forget to get all the good stuff that is just sitting on the backside of your strainer.
11. Add the whole grain mustard: Add the 1/2 cup of a good whole grain (and coarse) mustard to the cranberry puree and blend until well combined.
12. Pour into jars and refrigerate: Divide the mostarda between canning jars and let it cool completely before screwing on the caps. Once cooled and capped, keep the mostarda in the refrigerator (and tell any giftees to keep their mostarda refrigerated). Jars of mostarda will keep refrigerated for up to two weeks.
Gift it!
Pour cranberry mixture into a few mason jars and wrap up to present as a gift. Here we added some festive silver ribbon, a demi spoon and knife, a snip of greenery from our home, and a small christmas ornament to make a happy gift. Tell your friends to try the mostarda on leftover ham or turkey sandwiches, or perhaps on the bed of a cracker underneath a salty parmesan. Don't forget to save some for yourself!
Special Thanks to Mat Clouser and Swift's Attic for sharing this great recipe with us.

Looks great. Is this like jam where you have to sterilize the jars first?
Emmi, also, cranberries are very acidic. I've kept regular homemade cranberry sauce in the fridge for months and it was still fine.
Is the straining process necessary? You are, after all, adding in more seeds at the end?
I assume you COULD can this, right? I wonder if it would affect the flavor & texture. I'm new to canning but between the wine, mustard and cranberries I'm not too worried about food safety (so acidic).
I would strain because the cranberries have tough skins that would be strained out along with the seeds. I think the skins would give it an unpleasant texture.
Use a food mill.
Nothing makes me happier than someone who loves what they do. Thanks for reminding us to have fun and enjoy it (the toasted seed aroma, the vino, etc.)!
So, I just made this and it's incredibly bitter. Is there supposed to be sugar in the recipe? I've looked at a couple of other recipes for cranberry mostarda and they all include some sort of sweetener.

Scientists creating plants that make their own fertilizer
Since the dawn of agriculture people have exercised great ingenuity to pump more nitrogen into crop fields. Farmers have planted legumes and plowed the entire crop under, strewn night soil or manure on the fields, shipped in bat dung from islands in the Pacific or saltpeter from Chilean mines and plowed in glistening granules of synthetic fertilizer made in chemical plants.
No wonder Himadri Pakrasi's team is excited by the project they are undertaking. If they succeed, the chemical apparatus for nitrogen fixation will be miniaturized, automated and relocated within the plant so that nitrogen is available when it is needed and where it is needed and only then and there.
"That would really revolutionize agriculture," says Pakrasi, Ph.D., the Myron and Sonya Glassberg/Albert and Blanche Greensfelder Distinguished University Professor and Director of the International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability (I-CARES) at Washington University in St. Louis.
Engineering with biological parts
Much of modern agriculture relies on biologically available nitrogenous compounds (called "fixed" nitrogen) made by an industrial process, developed by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1909. The importance of the Haber-Bosch process, as it was eventually called, can hardly be overstated; today the fertilizer it produces allows us to feed a population roughly a third larger than the planet could sustain without synthetic fertilizer.
On the other hand, the Haber-Bosch process is energy intensive, and the reactive nitrogen released into the atmosphere and water as run-off from agricultural fields causes a host of problems, including respiratory illness, cancer, and cardiac disease.
Pakrasi thinks it should be possible to design a better nitrogen-fixing system. His idea is to put the apparatus for fixing nitrogen in plant cells, the same cells that hold the apparatus for capturing the energy in sunlight.
The National Science Foundation recently awarded Pakrasi and his team more than $2.3 million to explore this idea farther. The grant will be administered out of I-CARES, a university-wide center that supports collaborative research regionally, nationally, and internationally in the areas of energy, the environment, and sustainability.
This award is one of four funded by the National Science Foundation jointly with awards funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council in the United Kingdom. The teams will collaborate with one another and meet regularly to share progress and successes.

It is a revolution .
This is very very appreciable idea and if we are successful in our mission it will bring revolution in agriculture and allied fields.Best of luck.

The MDS is a small and highly-specialised scheme that provides means-tested fee support and grants to designated centres of excellence for the education and vocational training of exceptionally talented young musicians and dancers. It has been in existence for some 40 years.
The scheme provides support with the fees at eight independent specialist schools, 15 Centres for Advanced Training (CATs) and 6 Conservatoires for children aged 8 to 18 (11 to 19 for dance) who have outstanding potential to train for a career in dance or music. MDS allows children from low-income families to train for and reach the pinnacle of music and dance performance.
It represents the 'top of the pyramid' for performing arts education and training and is the Government's main vehicle for funding the training needs of such children. Although small (just over 2300 students a year), the scheme, its beneficiaries, its participating organisations and its patrons have a significant impact on the world of classical music and dance.
For aided boarding pupils, any pupil whose parents have a relevant income of around £12,620 (2012/13) or less is entitled to a free place. For aided day pupils, the threshold is around £15,965, below which the pupil will receive a free place.
There is a sliding scale above the thresholds which determines the size of the parental contribution towards the fees charged. Parental contributions are determined only by reference to gross family income and not by reference to the fees charged at the school attended. The higher the parental income, the greater the contribution the parent is required to make. The Department for Education meets the balance of the approved fees for Aided Pupils after any parental contribution.
Grants for pupils attending a CAT are also means-tested. The full amount will be £3577 a year from September 2013. If you are a parent applying for a place for your child, you will not have to make any contribution if your total family income before tax is £29,340 or less in the tax year ended 5 April 2013.
If your family income is more you will receive a smaller grant and you will have to make a contribution. Means-testing for choir school scholarships mirrors that for MDS schools but is not prescribed in detail by the Department.

ACC Tournament: Maryland ousts Wake Forest
GREENSBORO — Eight and a half minutes felt like six years to Wake Forest Thursday night.
Both streaks were on the mind of Wake in its 75-62 loss to Maryland in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Wake couldn't reach Friday once again as it went 8:36 without a field goal in the second half. Maryland subsequently pulled away as Wake's conference tournament losing streak extended to six games, and therefore, six years.
Maryland's Dez Wells rode a tremendous second half to a game-high 21 points as the Terrapins outscored Wake 45-27 in the final 20 minutes to overcome a 35-30 halftime deficit. The Demon Deacons' last tournament win came six years ago and the Deacs (13-18) could have snapped it if not for going so long without a field goal in the second half.
Wake lost to Maryland twice during the regular season by a combined 36 points. The Terps took over in the final 10 minutes for the third victory against Wake. Wake's last ACC Tournament win came in 2007 against Georgia Tech.
"The second half, we turned the ball over nine times and they were bad turnovers," Wake coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "What we did in the first half to gain a lead we didn't do in the second half."
Seventh-seeded Maryland took control of a 54-all game to advance to today's 7 p.m. quarterfinal against No. 2 seed Duke. Maryland (21-11) will likely need at least one more win to receive serious consideration for the NCAA Tournament. The Terps beat Duke in their most recent meeting in College Park.
"I think we were pretty good and they saw a lot of shots rim in and out," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "I got on our guys at halftime about energy and they started the second half and got the offense going."
Wake guard C.J. Harris scored 19 points as the heralded senior finished his career without an tournament win. Harris struggled from the field on a 5-of-15 shooting night. Pe'Shon Howard guarded Harris for the majority of the game.
"Pe'Shon did a great job on him," said Wells. "We dug down and took his lanes away from him and just tried to make him make passes to the teammates that didn't beat us."
Harris hit three 3-pointers in the first half and helped Wake gain a five-point halftime edge. Freshman Devin Thomas scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Thomas' first ACC Tournament game also had two steals and a block. The Deacs also suffered a 12-for-21 performance at the FT line.
7-foot-1 center Alex Len (11 points), Seth Allen (11 points), Howard (10 points) and Faust (10 points) all had double-figure games for the Terps. Wells got 14 of his 21 points in the second half and had his second 20-point game against the Deacs this year. Maryland outrebounded Wake 35-31 and shot 47.9 percent for the game.
The Deacs lead by as many as seven early as Devin Thomas scooped in a bucket to make it 29-22. Maryland's Seth Allen answerd with a trey and Nick Faust sunk two free throws to cut the margin back to one. Travis McKie and Chase Fischer hit baskets late for the halftime margin.
Maryland opened the second half on a 9-2 spurt that included a dunk, 3-pointer and two free throws from Wells to tie it at 39.
Harris hit a pair of free throws to tie the game at 54 with 8:06 remaining. Len dunked a minute later to give Maryland the lead for keeps. Howard drained a trey and followed up with a putback. The Terps led 64-57 at the under-4 minute media timeout. Len and Allen hit shots to bring the lead to 10 with under three minutes to play.
"We played well for a good portion of today," said Bzdelik, at the end of his third year in Winston-Salem. "The game got away from us there in the final nine minutes."

And an apple for you, teacher!
I love this new influx of Indian food bloggers, BTW.
(And it's OK with me if you know my name, but I feel like I'm walking around with wet pants or something, every time I forget to mail from the proper identity. Oh, yeah, I've done it before. Hey, besides. I know your real name too!)

Wonderful roundup as always, Kalyn. So wonderful, in fact, that even though I'm supposed to be writing up the promised escarole recipe, I think I am just going to have to do a little blog visiting first. : ) (So that would mean it's all your fault when my post is late tomorrow. : )
- December 4, 2005 at 6:11 PM
- Kalyn said...
Cookiecrumb, thanks for the apple.
Farmgirl, everyone knows that blog visiting is more fun than writing posts for the next day. I'm going to visit some blogs myself, now that I have tomorrow's post finished! (Do want to see that escarole recipe though.)
Everyone, in case you noticed I took off the word verification after several people told me they had trouble leaving comments. But after less than a day, I got some spam, so I put it back on. I hope it is working ok.

Wonderful assortment of herbs, Kalyn. I am so glad I participated. A small mistake in your mention of our blog though. I am a 'she' not a 'he'. Not your fault about the mistaken identity; it's hard to decipher from my nick. Hope you can correct it :) Thanks again!

Oh, wow, i'm a grade A student! LOL! Had fun going round everyone's blog to see their fantastic and interesting entries. I love the anchovies that Brett posted! and Beansprouts well, what can i say - he's more photogenic than i am! Oh, what about the Romans using sage for a toothpaste!? Chef Paz, you really desserve the A for sourcing that one! As for Endive and Escarole, i'm adding this to my food vocabulary. I'll have to visit the others later today...
Kalyn, you are world famous. And like Cookiecrumb said, what will i post next week? I'll have to take photos from my local market instead i think which should be fun.

Please don't take my A for the obvious spelling mistake... 'desserve' should be spelt 'deserve'. I'm suffering fast fingers syndrome this morning!

Kalyn, I don't know where the weekend went...so sorry I missed out on weekend herb blogging, but the round up is great.

Usually abbreviated to stereo, a form of sound recording and reproduction which aims to reproduce a spatial aural experience, in terms of width and depth, analogous to human binaural hearing. Two microphones (plus possible additional complementary microphones) are used to record two independent representations of sound to two channels. As well as representing a domestic audio standard, stereo has been widely adopted in electroacoustic music, stereo being suited to playback over any number of loudspeakers, and therefore used in diffusion systems, octophonic systems and so on. The term is derived from the Greek stereos, meaning solid, which is the aural effect it strives to achieve.

Help!!! 2012 Cougar FC Pro with NITRO cams. I have only been shooting this bow for about 3 months now and love it. BUT.....today I noticed the cams are eating the strings up! Is this normal????? Will MARTIN fix this? Whats wrong?
The bow is a tack driver and I hate having to have a new string put on it and setting it up again.


text:
Well, I've been in contact with Marin Customer Service. Of course there are no replacement limbs available, which is understandable after this long. I inquired about the specifics of the "Lifetime Warranty", since I do in fact still have the sales receipt, asking if the 50% prorated repair/replace would entitle me to a new bow at half price. Paraphrasing, I was informed the warranty was not for MY lifetime, but the product lifetime, which means until they stop making that model, and all the parts run out. These days, since they update models about every other season at least, and I'm certain they don't do a huge run to stockpile parts, that means the "lifetime warranty"....in my mind, one of the top selling points of their product....is only good for maybe 4-5 years. I'm not too awfully upset....I'm the one that didn't lower the poundage every year to give the limbs a rest, and they're just past their usefulness. I wouldn't call up Weatherby after 20 years and ask them to replace the shot out barrel on my hunting rifle, and I can't expect Martin to keep an indefinite supply of parts sockpiled to fix old bows....even though the copy of the warranty I got when I bought my bow doesn't include the fine print that let's me know their "lifetime warranty" is really just an inside joke.
Been keeping an eye open for a replacement. Don't care much at all for the new bows...those built within the last 5 years or so. Not that they don't perform....but because they all look the same.
I'm not sure which company it was that came out with the paralel limbs first, but after that there hasn't really been any individuality, or personality in the industry...it's been all about the technology, and keeping up with the competition. And that's all well and good; there will always be lots of people out there who are on the hunt for the latest and greatest. That's what keeps Martin and all the other manufacturers in buisness, and why they sell a ton of bows.
Of course, I always thought of Martin as more than just a manufacturer, more than just a company that makes and sells archery equipment. When I think of Martin, I think of a company that creates highly crafted and aesthetically attractive tools for archers, and as peace's post touched on, a company that creates a bond with their customer, not only out of concern for the customer's satisfaction during and after the sale, but also because of genuine interest in customer feedback that helps to improve the next generation of tools. Not sure I'm feeling that these days as strongly as I once did.
I do like the looks of the Cougar 3, and likely I'll try to pick one up after the season. I think that's the last bow Martin made that caught my interest. Shame they dropped the Cougar model from their lineup. I always liked the way their bows were named after cats...it created a brand identity...put the idea in your mind that their bows weren't inanimate objects like the competition, but living things with personality, wild and free. Now it seems they're getting away from that, too, with names like "SlayR", and "Tracer", "Crossfire", and "Exile". More keeping up with the competition. Next year they may have a couple bows named "Gut-Squisher", and "Donkey-Punch", with blinking red, white, and blue LED's, a cup holder, and a kick-stand.
I guess I will get Barnsdale's to make me up a nice set of limbs. And if I don't find a Cougar 3 by this coming summer, I think I'm going to make a move to traditional archery. Just love the looks of a recurve, always have. That's why I ordered the old girl with the recurved wood limbs, it was a connection to the past. I'm a romantic, I suppose.
I'm fortunate, for now, to have a spare bow that had been just sitting around. Picked up a Martin Orion Magnum bow kit for a song a few years ago, brand new, hard-case and all...everything still in plastic, tags still on, peep and dampers still loose on the string. Bought it from a guy I knew that sold store returns, blems, and damaged merch. Seems the hard-case took a hit during shipping, probably some jackass hot-rodding a forklift in a warehouse somewhere. Cracked the case, but it did it's job, and protected everything inside. Going to be doing a tech article about "fixing" the Dyna-cam. Keep an eye out for it, and let me know if it's helpful.
Promised a few pictures of the painted lady. As it seems she's being retired, it's the least I can do to show my appreciation for so many years of great service. Thought these were going to turn out much better, my camera usually takes great pics, but these look like they were taken while I was having an epileptic fit. I could try again if anybody is really interested, but here are these:

September 18th 2013………ITS FAIR WEEK!!!!!
Growing up in Mecklenburg County I didn't get to experience county fairs. So when my boss told me last Monday that the County Fair would effectively shut down all business in town, I scoffed at the notion……..I was wrong. Ferris Wheels are cool, fair food is delicious. Little did I know that the shining lights and hovering aroma of fried fat and vegetables would have such an impact on my life.
First of all Lexington area commerce is pretty much shut down unless you are purchasing tickets at the Fair for rides. For the record I don't trust rides. No prejudice against Fair rides, it is all rides. Carrowinds, any other theme park. Roller coasters are death machines, and those things that spin real fast around and around (the one at the State Fair is called the Himalayan) Images of being tosses head long into the concrete hundreds of feet away keep my toes planted firmly on the trash ridden Fair grounds.
So with area business in a less than stellar mood to talk about future investments, my week becomes an exercise into how to figuratively (and literally in the case of my car) spin my wheels without going any where. I drink a lot of diet Sunkist driving around it is my one of my favorite pass times. This week judging from my reclying box, I have drank over 10 and its only Tuesday. If they every prove that diet drinks will give you some horrible disease 20 years from now I'm as good as dead.
So when you break it down the Fair interrupts my lively hood at my job here at the Radio station. Makes me drink what may or may not be poison and I don't enjoy any of the death contraptions erected in minutes at the fair. (I left here Friday in full view of the Fair ground. There was no ferris wheel built. I come back Monday. There it is! How can you trust something built in two days!) I wouldn't trust a lego toy built in two days! Take your time people!
September 3, 2013…..So I'm a Yo Yo….An open letter to Randy Swicegood
Let's get one thing out in the open. Myself Don West has been and always will be an NC State fan. Yes 99.9 is a UNC affiliate (thank goodness UNC is a great team to sell as they are usually pretty good or decent in Basketball or Football), and yes sometimes I do make some remarks about UNC during the Sports Corner segment. Last Friday was one such show…..Last Friday Randy Swicegood got very angry at me.
Last Thursday UNC played South Carolina. All week I had heard about how good Brynn Renner was (Someone needs to explain his skill to me because I just see an average Quarterback.) I made a simple statement along these lines and said that I didn't think he was very good, and that the Tarheels would lose to South Carolina. IN THIS SAME BROADCAST, I remarked about how bad NC State has been and how I thought they may lose to La. Tech. UNC did eventually lose I predicted.
I came on the show Friday and commented on how poorly UNC had played and how the Hype Machine surrounding the team was a little unfounded. Again in the SAME BROADCAST I reiterated how I thought NC State wasn't very good and would possibly lose to La. Tech. Apparently though a certain local UNC fan (Whose name rhymes with Dandy Spicegood) took offense to my breakdown of ACC football. Ole Randy decided that he needed to express his displeasure to another employee here at the station in a long voicemail. Here are some high lights
"I don't know who this Don guy is" Randy I've been working here 6 months and I have more radio knowledge in my pinky than you do in your body
"Who is this yoyo" Randy don't call someone a yoyo. I can't tell if you are insulting me or trying to enter into a friendship with me
So my guy Randy didn't like that I spoke out against a team we are an affiliate of. So let me pose this question to you Randy. When UNC plays poorly and I state that "they played poorly" how does that have an impact on the station? My job is to make the station sound interesting and to sell advertising to help local business get in front of our thousands of listeners. If our station is simply a fan boy of UNC it is going to sound boring as all get out.
So Randy I tell you this. I won't tell you how to do your Shoutouts every morning if you leave the actual radio work to me.
Just so we are clear, My Name is Don West. I am in fact not a Yo Yo although I have owned several in my life. I have worked in Radio for several years. If you would like to come to my office and have a discussion like adults please stop by the station. I'm in the office across from Will's I have a small chair for you to sit in.
August 23, 2013…….Things that happen at 6am
In my transition to moving to a more permanent residence here in Lexington I have been staying with my parents in Charlotte. Preface this by saying I haven't lived with my parents full time since I left for college almost a decade ago. In that decade my Mother has fallen in love with some interesting hobbies. I will outline these today.
The first and most obvious when you come into our home is her love for animals. We have two dogs; one Dewey is a rescue dog. He is a Doberman mix (I use mix as a general statement because he has a curly tail which is super weird, so I have no idea what other breeds he has in him) The other is Buddy….Oh Buddy the dog my Mother found at the barn. Buddy is a menace, a Jack Russell mutt with a serious small man complex. Buddy either cannot or actively refuses to be house trained. (he lived in a barn for years so I can understand, he doesn't really care where he does his biz) Buddy is also super annoying. He gets Dewey (who until Buddy came along was super laid back and never barked) all jacked up and often launches surprise attacks at Dewey. These attacks last for minutes with Dewey being as patient as he can with until he has had enough and grabs Buddy by his head and quickly puts an end to the situation.
A Summary of our dogs positive and negative attributes
$1· They don't live with me
$1· Dewey is pretty cool
$1· Buddy is annoying as all get out
$1· They smell
$1· They make the house smell
$1· They give me allergies
$1· They are not very intelligent *Buddy
The next hobby is creating a true to life recreation of the Amazon rain forest in our back yard. There is at any given time in our yard.
-Hanging vines
-Prehistoric giant plants with huge leaves
-Frogs (dead and alive!)
-A pallet of boulders waiting to be arranged
-A row of boxes stretching the length of the yard with idk what in them (this was the most recent)
My Mother works hard on her jungle and I have no ill will towards it. The funny part is the facebook updates about the life in her jungle. For example recently there was a frog that lived in the jungle. She hadn't seen the frog for a few days. She notified everyone via social media that the frog was believed to be dead. (day ruiner I know!) Then low and behold one day the Frog is back! Praise the Lord he has risen!
The last hobby of my Mother's that I find so peculiar is her latest…..Meal worms……pallets and pallets of meal worms. This morning as I was leaving the house around 6:15am I found my mother on our porch with a lamp and a bucket of what appeared to be sand. "Mom what are you doing?" I inquired; she replied "feeding my meal worms!" Just another Friday morning feeding the worms……normal right……RIGHT! What do you feed a meal worm? What purpose do meal worms serve? Is there an end game for these meal worms? Will there at some point be a meal worm casserole? Fact; Meal worms are gross…
So my Mom is walks to the beat of a different drum.
August 22, 2013…….Planning things out
This may come as a huge shock but more than anything on this planet I hate planning things out. This blog that I write for LXN, (I know shocker, can you believe I get in and just right this thing without thinking about it…..I mean the quality is so amazing how could a guy not plan this right?) Sports corner I usually get in the chair seconds before the mic comes on and just start talking. (I know this is an even bigger SHOCK! Sports corner is the best radio on earth how do I just wing it?) Honestly the first time I went on air I brought in some notes to kind of form the segment around. I was immediately ridiculed, I mean bringing notes seemed smart to me. Max thought it was funny…..I was embarrassed so I never did it again. Even as I write this I just sat here for about a minute thinking "hmmmm how am I going to finish this paragraph? What do I write after this nonsensical mess?" Let us see where we go from here (ha just finished that paragraph like a pro)
So planning things and goal setting, in my other life as a sales person these things are important. To save my life I can't do it though, I know that planning geographically where I want to make calls each day would probably be more efficient. Then I would lose that moment where I get in my car at 10am (or 11am or 9am, I don't have a set time when I leave, maybe I should make a plan for that) So if I planned things I would lose that moment when I get in my car and start it and think "Well where to today Don, and then I drive around for a minute and say alright well lets go THIS WAY!" My day has started officially.
Goal setting, for most of my life this has been done for me, my parents informed me that I would be going to college when I was about 6 years old. So I made sure I didn't totally flunk out of school so I could get into college. School teachers would say "if you don't do this project you will fail" alright well my goal was set, do the project, but don't get too carried away and do it well…..just do it to completion. Here at the station they tell me go sell things, alright I'll go sell things. Hey we need you to sell a lot of things, alright I'll go sell a lot of things….or I'll probably get fired…..Goal set.
So what I'm trying to say is I'm going to try and plan things out a little better. Hopefully you all will appreciate it, if not too bad I'm not doing it for you anyway. The plan today is to find a place to live, after that try and sell some radio. After all that I plan on watching the Panthers game GO PANTHERS. So that seems like a full day. Enjoy your day everyone!
P.s. I never plan on proofreading these blogs.
August, 21st 2013…….
First I would like to apologize for my month long absence from the WLXN website. A few changes in the world of Don West, everything is calmed down now so it is back to work.
That brings me to the blog today, Everyone can think of a long term situation weather professionally or personally where when you are in said situation you are so wrapped up in it you can't see how its changed you. Your personality is different, you speak differently, and you like and do different activities than you historically have. While you are in this fog you can't tell that all this has changed, just going with the flow. Then one day you are ejected from the fog, you get fired or get out of the relationship you were in. Then you look back and think "WHOA WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT"
I think everyone has a personality baseline. A solid base where your good attributes and bad attributes even each other out and you are a (hopefully) normal person. Let's face it some people are just straight out of wack and cannot be helped.
The issue I think arises when you get in these situations that exaggerate your negative attributes. If you are a fun and easy going person, getting into a job that makes you serious as a heart attack, not to good. (obviously most jobs need to be taken seriously, but come on unless you are curing cancer lighten up ok) So you get into these situations and you forget that you used to be funny, and stressing about deadlines or cleaning dishes or being home at the exact right time sucks. So deadlines then become fun for you, and curfews after the age of 18 PARTY TIME!
So in my seriously limited view (Most of you reading are far older and more intelligent than me) finding situations and people that bring out your best attributes is key to being yourself. You can always force yourself to be happy, or fool yourself into thinking hey it is a lot of money I can stand to be miserable. When you find those people or situations all of the sudden you look at all the other nonsense you put up and realize that money or comfort level wasn't really worth putting up with all that crap. So in my rambling here what I'm trying to get at is, jobs that make you miserable suck, and people that try and constantly change you suck as well. Changing yourself for the better is always a good thing (grammar/exercise/not hating everyone), but changing who you are fundamentally is dumb and get away from people who want to do that as quickly as possible.
Per usual I never proof read these so sorry about it
July 24th, 2013…Some people have to ruin all of the fun
Tweetsie and I have a long and storied past. A veteran of multiple train robberies there, I was actually marginally excited to be going back. There is not a better ride in the South than the train ride at Tweetsie. (Spoiler alert if you don't want to know about the train ride stop reading now) The train gets ROBBED, and you are ON IT! Every 7 year olds dream you are a part of some serious drama! After my first trip to Tweetsie I would plan following trips to the park around the train ride. "Alright" I would think "I have got to get some firepower to defend the train" wouldn't you know it the Tweetsie general store is chocked full of Bowes and arrows (sucker tips of course) and the ole trusty 6 shooter revolver (caps included, orange barrel tip BOOO)
So there I would be, on the train. Weapon holstered, waiting for the robbers to come and try and get my precious cargo. Train slows to a halt, "Ok where are these guys" I would think. Then bedlam in the back train cars, These guys are everywhere now is my chance! I raise my weapon ready to fire. All of the sudden I am betrayed, it is always the ones closest to you that you have to watch. My own Mother! "Don put that gun down and just enjoy it!" Are you kidding Mom! Put the gun down? Our lives are at stake and you are on the robber's side!? I holstered my weapon with dismay in my heart.
That was Tweetsie to me, the opportunity for sweet vigilante glory. I have now gotten unconfirmed reports that the train robbery is no longer a part of the ride?! So let me get this straight, because someone thought that the train was actually getting robbed they had to stop doing it? Here is a tip, before you get on an old train with a bunch of precious cargo at a WESTERN THEMED park…..ASSUME IT WILL BE ROBBED! Then ASSUME THAT THE ROBBERY IS FAKE AND JUST FOR FUN!
So here I am 27 years old. Unbridled by parental supervision, free to purchase my sweet old friend the revolver at the Tweetsie General store. Take that revolver and shoot some robbers without my Mom telling me no! Despite all that, I am stopped because somepeople can't handle any amazingly realistic train robbery! Come on people, I get that we should be nicer to one another. Train robberies are cool, your child will be a better person because they got to experience it.
I have lost all faith in the coming generation liking cool things. Not their fault, these dang parents and their morals GEEZ!
July 22nd , 2013…..Childhood Heroes…..now Villians
I'm 27, in admittedly not so great shape for my age. I think about things I did when I was a teenager. Play basketball at a somewhat high level (very lowest of a high level, but I did what I could do with the genetic hand I was dealt.) I ran or did something involving cardio exercise on a semi regular basis. On Sunday I sat and watched a listless Tiger Woods, a child hood hero of mine, wander around a golf course trying to find some semblance of who he used to be. I sat there with a pounding headache (a long night on Saturday, totally self-induced pain) and thought wow I don't want to end up like this guy. Angry and lost because he can't do the things he used to do.
At the age of 12 I saw Tiger Woods win the Masters. I had dabbled a little in golf growing up but this was the moment that made me pour my heart and soul into the game. I followed Tiger growing up as close as possible. I knew what video games he liked, what golf clubs he played and how he played in every tournament. He was everything I wanted to be and for the majority of my childhood I mirrored his attitude (sometimes this had a bad effect.) Now some 15 years later I see him do immature things that he used to do in his 20's. Cussing, tossing clubs having an overall bad attitude. Having matured a fair amount since I was 12 it is very possible that I have matured far more in these 15 years than he has.
Many of you could care less how Tiger Wood's acts, many of you have probably stopped reading this far because I wrote about him for 2 paragraphs (to those that still are WAY TO GO GUYS! Stay with me here!) Wood's represents something that all of us had growing up I'm sure, someone that we saw as what we wanted to be when we grew up. Some of us may have picked people that were actually good role models. Most of us though probably picked someone that at a young age we thought had it all. Only to grow up like I did with Tiger and realize they were human and had their own serious issues.
It is tough seeing a hero crumble to ash right in front of your eyes. For me it has taken 5 years to see that Tiger Wood's isn't someone I want to be like, he is someone to see as an example of what can go wrong if you forget priorities and where you came from. Having a hero who represented success to me at a young age, Then getting older and figuring out that being in your late 30's and angry as a cobra is no way to live. In a way it is a good thing. I strove to be like someone growing up who was successful, now having reached a moderate amount of success, I see said hero, as someone I can be better than in some facets of life.
July 18th, 2013…..Before you send that hateful message….
We have all been there. Someone makes you so dang mad you can't stand it. You will show them right! Ah, a strongly worded text or email, that will do it! The venom pours from you finger tips to the key pad. YES! This will convey just how angry I am at this person, they are going to ever regret crossing me….
That is phase 1 of 21st century anger. Phase 2 is that sweet feeling you get when you press send. Like a bullet to the heart, you fire that electronic message away with every part of your being. Ahhhh, the euphoria of getting even with someone. Then comes the hangover.
Phase 3 is when things start to take a turn. You have probably done one of several things
$11. Sent it correctly but now you feel bad because you should have just talked it out
$12. Sent to wrong person
$1a. Give up you lost the game dude you can't resend with the right amount of anger now
$13. Misspelled a word, or been auto corrected
$1a. Meant to say "you are so stupid" instead you get "you are so stupendous!"
So let us say that you sent everything correctly (option 1) Now you are starting to feel pretty bad. Time passes like molasses….NO RESPONSE! What is wrong with this person! Tell me how hurt you are, tell me how sorry you are to mess with have messed with such a titan like myself! More time passes still nothing. Phase 4 in full effect now. You feel like a fool and a coward. Who sends text messages that are mean, be a hero call that person up from the comfort of your couch behind locked doors and yell at them duh!
Phase 4 Said person does respond, text is just as angry and mean as yours' was. Whoa counter attack was not expecting this. Hmmmm now what do you do.
$11. Get personal family and friends are not off limits
$1a. Make it so bad that if you see this person in a social setting everyone in the room feels awkward
$12. Apologize and say you were just being angry
$1a. You coward
Phase 5 is hopefully where you get too eventually. You call the person say "look you made me mad, sorry I made you mad." Then everything is cool
What everyone needs to learn from this is just to avoid the whole situation. Before you send that angry electronic text bullet. Take a breath, just be angry to yourself it will be over quicker that way.

My 16 year old Chi has dementia and prescription drugs make his condition worse. So, no drugs. I spray his room twice a day , keep the room enclosed, then move Chico in there. This spray has helped him relax and reduce his wailing, then he can fall asleep naturally. I do recommend it & I just purchased 2 more bottles.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I used the Phero-soothe when we had to take our 16 year old Kittie with us on a short trip. She was calm in the car and at the unfamiliar place. I sprayed it in her carrier.
Pheramones not stong enough for this dog
By Alicia
from Milwaukee WI
I gave this to my daughter and son-in-law to see if it could calm their over energetic tick hound. Seems like it works in the car or closed in space the best. Not so much in the house even if sprayed everywhere. He still bounces off the wall when someone comes.
Not working
By Pinkie
from California
When I purchased this product I was very excited because I have five cats. Unfortunately it has no effect on them. I spray it on their beddings and it does not do anything and none of them care about the smell either. Maybe because it is not real pheromone.
By momdoctor
from livingston NJ
I had my daughter's sweet sixteen party with 30 teens dancing in the basement of my house.My 4 years old yorky went ballistic from the DJ playing music very loud and so much going on around the house.As soon as I sprayed his bed and inside of my bedroom where he was locked in,the bark stopped and he felt much more comfortable with the situation.

Cross-country calm! (Phero-Soothe Cat)
By auntyem
from Minneapolis, MN
My husband and I moved (drove) with our three cats ages 4 to 16 from Virginia to Minnesota. Two of the three absolutely HATE riding in the car. One would hyperventilate just on the way across town to the vet. Before we left for our 3-day cross-country excursion, I sprayed Phero-Soothe on a blanket that covered the large kennel where we kept the cats for the drive. We were really skeptical and didn't expect it to make much difference... but it was truly miraculous! We hardly heard a peep out of them the entire trip! They mostly snoozed or just relaxed, lying or sitting. We heard an occasional meow from our customary hyperventilator, but even she was calm 99% of the trip. I did reapply the spray a few different times during the drive. But truly, they were so quiet and well-behaved that there were points when I forgot they were in the car. We were really stressed about moving the cats, but it turned out to be the thing that went the most smoothly!

By persianlover

So this Thanksgiving I sprayed the house with this stuff for several days prior and day of and day after and it worked!! I was pleasantly surprised. We only had one or two yowls that nite. Wonderful relief for the parents!

LIVE! | 100.9 Krock Dysfunctional Family BBQ
by Sara Mccarthy
Staff Writer
May 28, 2011 at Chevrolet Court in the New York State Fairgrounds Chevy Court in Syracuse, N.Y.
Every Memorial Day weekend in Syracuse, N.Y., Galaxy Communication's 100.9 Krock sponsors an all-day music event, the Dysfunctional Family BBQ, which has become the launching point for the area's summer concert season. Krock has a reputation for organizing well-run concerts that attract the biggest names in the rock business and hundreds of loyal fans. Last month's show was no exception. Eight bands filled the day's schedule, including local bands Caustic Method and Elephant Mountain and national artists 10 Years and Trapt.
Local rockers, Caustic Method, which were a last-minute addition after Hourcast was unable to make the show in time, started the day's festivities. Even with a small crowd of about 300 to 400 people, they blasted onto stage and played their well-known song "Left to Die Alone." As a whole, they have a very strong stage presence, and lead singer Matt Caustic is a lot of fun to see perform. The band debuted two new tracks, "Born Again" and "Barely Alive and Breathing," and they closed out their set with the fan favorite "Twelve Step Suicide." They filled the fairgrounds with their heavy grinding sound that you feel deep inside that gets your blood pumping. A great band to see perform, Caustic Method lived up to its reputation, played a good set and got the slowly increasing crowd ready for Elephant Mountain to take over.
Elephant Mountain, formed in 2009 by former members of Brand New Sin, Joe Altier (vocals) and Brian Azzato (guitar), released its first album "The Last Days of Planet Earth" in September 2010. Members took the stage and opened with the album's lead track "North of Nowhere" Joe Altier, who has a very strong local following, hammered out his vocals with all of the energy and talent for which he is known. The group also played a new song, "Loved Ya Anyway," to which the crowd was very responsive. Elephant Mountain is a band with its own sound, which is a unique combination of metal, soul and southern rock that easily can reach a broad base of fans. This band will be making tracks outside of the Syracuse area sooner rather than later.
Set List:
North of Nowhere
Out of My Head
Words With Friends
Loved Ya Anyway
I'm Done
Next up was Drive A, the first national act of the day. This was the first time this relatively young band from California played in the Syracuse area. While they do know how to work the crowd and keep its attention, a lack of maturity was apparent. Their opening track was "Young Cunts," a title that was offensive to many in the crowd. For a new band, their sound was musically strong, if not fresh and innovative. Frontman/guitarist Bruno Mascolo's vocals were inconsistent, but given the fact that he is young and they have been touring just about non-stop for two years, surely this will continue to improve. Just when I was beginning to look past Mascolo's maturity issues, he asked the crowd to "turn to the person on your right and kick them in the balls; if that doesn't start a riot I'm not sure what will." Quite a few inebriated people in the crowd took him up on this suggestion and caused numerous fights. Mascolo incited the crowd and left a bad taste in my mouth. I would give this young group a few more years in the business to see how they grow as musicians. The talent is there; it just needs to develop.
Kopek, a group hailing from Ireland, was next on the line-up and a very welcomed one. This group of guys played a phenomenal set and showed that they are a very tight group. The band is fun to watch, and their talent is obvious. Their sound was strong and clean. Vocalist Daniel Jordan showed his vocal abilities and sounded eerily similar to their album "White Collar Lies." When members played their current single "Cocaine Chest Pains," the crowd, which was already jumping and dancing, went nuts and started singing along. This band puts a new edge on rock and demonstrates the variety in which they could dish it out to us.
Set List:
Love Sick Blues
The Easy Way
White Collar Lies
Love is Dead
Cocaine Chest Pains
Bring it on Home
D.R.U.G.S – Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows has a sound likened to post-hardcore with a polished edge, and this band entertained. Bassist Adam Russell was an absolute blast to see perform. This dude has so much energy, and he never stopped moving from one end of the stage to the other. He was one of my favorite musicians who I photographed during the event. Vocalist Craig Owens had our attention from the very minute he stepped on stage and held it hostage with his onstage antics and powerful screams that backup vocalist Nick Owens answered with his own. These guys were a lot of fun to watch because they put their heart and soul into their performance. Their set started with "The Only Thing You Talk About," which the crowd loved and expressed this by bigger mosh pits and more crowd surfers. When their current single "Sex Life" was played, the crowd went nuts, and the already insane energy level increased as they started surging towards the stage. Needless to say, the crowd was happy with the performance, and the band seemed to be as well.
Set List:
The Only Thing You Talk About
Stop Reading, Start Doing Pushups
My Swagger Has a First Name
Laminated E.T. Animal
Sex Life
Mr. Owl Ate My Metal Worm
If You Think This Song is About You, It Probably Is
One of the most anticipated acts of the day, Boy Hits Car, was the next band to take the stage. This independent quartet from California drove more than 40 hours to arrive in Syracuse in time for the show. Boy Hits Car is a Krock alumnus, having played the DFB in 2009, as well as two Krockathons (THE concert event of the year in Syracuse). At Krockathon 10 in 2005, frontman Craig Rondell climbed to the top of the amps and stage dove sixty-seven feet into the crowd. This band has gained legendary status, and the younger fans who were unable to witness the ultimate stage dive come each time, hoping to see a repeat performance. Krock has since forbidden stage diving.
As Boy Hits Car took the stage, the audience was packed, fired up and ready to experience their passion for music. The band's performance was stellar. Opening with "Rebirth," these guys tore up the stage. Taking advantage of an extremely receptive crowd, tracks off of their latest release Stealing Fire were offered up. At one point, Rondell spotted a boy about 6 or 7 years old in the crowd who was sporting a pink Mohawk. Rondell had security get him out and up on stage. Perched on top of Rondell's shoulders, the young fan was able to take in the crazy site of thousands of people who were cheering just for him. For the reminder of the day, the pink-mohawked boy was a VIP and had a stage side seat.
The crowd absolutely erupted when "Man Without Skin" was played. During "Lovefurypassionenergy," Rondell did a running front flip off the stage into the crowd, and did a little crowd surfing. Back up on stage, the band performed "Benekai" and ended their show with a "New Noise" by Refused. Best of all, Rondell felt compelled to give us one more front flip into the crowd and started a mosh pit. If you haven't had the opportunity to see Boy Hits Car, you should do everything in your power to make it happen. You truly are truly missing out on an amazing band that loves its fans and loves playing for us all.
Set List:
The Rebirth
Move With Me
As I Watch the Sun Fuck the Ocean
One Kiss Away
Man Without Skin
I'm a Cloud
Escape the World
New Noise
10 Years was next to take the stage, and this being my first opportunity to see them perform, I was not disappointed. Southern boys from Tennessee, 10 Years was finishing up a two-month trek to support its new album Feeding the Wolves. These guys played their hearts out, and I am sure gained a lot of new fans by the end of their set. Opening with "Now is the Time (Ravenous)" off of their new album, they followed with "At a Loss" and "Empires." Musically, the band was perfect and, at times, sounded exactly like its studio tracks. It is always nice when I experience this because it reaffirms why I love music so much. Singer Jesse Hasek's vocals were crisp, clear and powerful. During an extended version of "Shoot it Out," he decided he also was in the mood to crowd surf, much to the crowd's delight. When they broke into the opening chords of "Wasteland," the already crazy crowd freaked, and you literally could feel the energy pouring off of them towards the stage as they sang along with the lyrics. This band absolutely killed onstage, and I will be catching them again as soon as I can.
10 Years Set List:
Now is the Time (Ravenous)
At a Loss
The Autumn Effect
The Wicked Ones
Fade Into (The Ocean)
Paralyzing Kings
Fix Me
Shoot it Out
Headlining the DFB was Trapt, a favorite of mine. While some people might say that they are a studio band, I strongly disagree. Having seen them twice in the past, with years in between the shows, I can say they are a solid live band. Starting off with "Sound Off," the band was tight musically and vocally. The crowd was totally into them and was singing along. Guitarist Rob Torres was on fire and obviously was having a good time, while interacting with us photographers up front. When the drum and bass-heavy opening of "Still Frame" started, the crowd screamed their happiness. Vocalist Chris Brown was spot on with his lyrics. "Overloaded" from their new album No Apologies was followed by "Who's Going Home With You Tonight," which was another crowd favorite, and fans sang right along with Brown. The band played quite a few tracks from their new release, including "Drama Queen," which I liked it. "Stand Up" brought an increased amount of crowd surfers to the front and even more singing from the crowd. The band closed its set with "Headstrong," which really threw them into the realm of rock stars. Although it was an awesome show, I wish they would have played "Cover Up," a favorite of mine from Only Through The Pain. Regardless, Trapt is a serious band that knows how to put on a live show, kicked ass while doing it and closed out the DFB with a roar.
Trapt Set List:
Sound Off
Still Frame
Who's Going Home With You Tonight?
End of My Rope
Beautiful Scar
The Game
Get Up
Stranger in the Mirror
Drama Queen
Stand Up
Disconnected (Out of Touch)
