Discussion in 'Digital & Modeling Gear' started by Karl Houseknecht, Aug 1, 2019.
Agreed. A waste of time and so depressing.
Ding, ding, ding! Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
The power amp modeling on the HD was way overdone. It was like every master volume amp was modeled with the master on 8-10. I hated it. I didn't even like the Helix at first until a few revisions down the line where the modeling improved. Now it's just as good as my Axe-Fx....for my usage. There was a time period there between the first firmware version of the XT and the early Helix firmware where the "POD" line was like an angry teenager, all arms and legs and zits and just ugly to look at and talk to.
The POD 2.0 is still a cool little unit and it will get the job done, but it's not taking my Helix away from me.
Love that analogy!
It's a shame the last Pod went out as the best and worst of itself. It could of had a happy ending to a great device. It would have ended as a classic with respect instead of that uncle no one wants to talk about.
Reminded me of a very popular cover band in my area where the guitar player used one of the original Flextone heads into a Marshall 212 for YEARS! He's a totally pro player so could probably get by with about anything but it always sounded really great. I'm sure you can pick those up for cheap now if there's any still around.
Nico, where you been??
Pod 2.0 was great when it came out. Still is a good device, if you are not used to use the guitar volume to control your amount of distortion.
Got any tutorials on doing this?
Whoops! Sure did. Master volume amp!
The OG POD got me into modeling, it was a revelation at the time.
I really liked the XT back in the day for what it was. I still have POD Farm set up as a plugin... That is my favorite "POD" era. the POD2 was always trying too hard to sound "warm" and rolled off too much for me.
L6 languished a long time before HX. I tried an HD for a while but by then I had an AxeFx and there was no turning back, I liked the 2 and XT better than the HD.
Now that L6 have IR support they are competitive again.
Still use my Pod 2 (I have two of them) from time to time. Easily my favorite piece of gear ever. I think that the guy behind the original pod was some kind of genius who worked on this project and then went beck into his secret lab cave.
Line 6 should sell the Pod 2^2, and by this I mean same form factor, knob based, with today ADDA converters, same good old amp models and improved cabinets.
I've got the POD XT. I like its Marshall sound more than the 2.0. The 2.0 sounds trebly and thuddy, while the XT has that honky 412 cabinet tone that I like.
Interesting. I like the HD alot better then the XT.
Ah, jeez...come on. I didn't call him the laziest YouTuber. This one (the only one I've watched) missed the mark for me.
And amusingly enough, even the Line 6 timeline here kinda has its facts wrong. The original POD came with 28 amp models, not 16. You just used the SoundDiver software to access all of them via MIDI.
But I guess only old fart Line 6 originalist fanboys remember stupid crap like that, I guess. You know...I guess sometimes you just had to be there, maaaaan...
I just thought of something based on a few other posts talking about re-releasing a POD 2.0 (which they've actually already done once to make them compatible with the FBV series foot controllers) - how tiny would the resource use of the TubeTone models be in comparison if they were to make them available on the HX platform?
So do I. I don't understand how ANYONE can like the 2.0 or XT better.
After I got the HD bean, I got another one, got an HD500, Special 6, Laney Lionheart L5, and the Supro amp model lead to a Supro Black Magick, Butler Tube Driver, Big Muff Pi all because of the huge improvement in my tone from that Bean. Yeah, I went a bit nuts, but I have never been happier with my gear.
Oh got a Monoprice and a Bugera T5 also, but only because I can't pass up a cheap tube amp. Good times.
The original POD was like magic when it first came out. It was the first modeler that really sounded good in headphones. It did not stack up live however (this may be user error with the cab settings too, but it was widespread).
In 2000 though, there was nothing so impressive as that red bean. I still have mine. Rarely use it, but its there.
I put many, many hours of use on my POD 2.0 playing live... Our church used to have these extended worship nights every week back then, and it wasn't uncommon for us to play for three hours. For most of those services I was using the 2.0. I really can't complain very much about it. It served my very well. I used it mainly as an amp replacement and ran my pedalboard into it. I had a lot of people (mostly other players) come up and ask where my amp was back then as going direct with guitar was still kind of a novel concept to a lot of people. We used IEMs most of the time back then, too.
I also like the way the 2.0 worked in front of an amp. I used mine in front of my Vibroverb quite a bit back then.
Man, I remember uses those. They had some pretty big limitations in the types of convincing tones it could generate, but there were lots of great sounds in those things if you were willing to work within what the units were good at.
I'm not going to sell my modern modeling rig to buy a vintage Pod 2, but I think they are awfully impressive given the technology and price points they had to work with when they were designed.
It might be possible with a lot of work; after all, we ported a custom POD 2.0 model into an HD Model Pack. However, the public is a lot more forgiving of older effects than they are of older amp models. IdeaScale it.

Imagine yourself happily snorkeling around, admiring the beauty of the underwater world. Then all of a sudden, from the corner of your eye, you see someone flapping around half swimming, half drowning, scaring away half of the fish away from the sea. Yup, we've all been there at one point or another. If you're new to it, don't fret. Here's a beginner's guide to snorkeling to make sure that you don't look like THAT person.
Do you like history and water sports? Then Appledore Star will be the breath of fresh air you needed for your Key West vacation and snorkel adventure. You'll feel like you're stepping back in time after boarding this wooden 65' schooner. And on top of the awesome boat, the crew leads you out to the only living coral reefs in the continental United States. After snorkeling the waters that lie a few miles off the coast of Key West, and navigating your kayaks through the heart of Key West Wildlife, guests are provided with a lunch filled with fresh shrimp, fried chicken, fixings to make your own sandwiches, and a variety of fruits to refuel. On the breezy ride back to mainland, guests can enjoy complimentary beer, homemade sangria, and wine as a nice treat to end this 6 hour adventure.

For scuba diving, the primary piece of equipment you'll need is a pressurized gas tank with a tube. This tank will be your air supply while you're underwater. A wetsuit is also necessary to keep your body temperature regulated, even in tropical waters. Foot fins will help you through the water, propelling your movement. And lastly, if you are not an experienced diver, you'll want a guide to accompany you. At Mai Dive, we make sure your scuba diving in Fiji experience is as safe and enjoyable as it is unforgettable. We create daily dive plans tailored to the requirements of our diving and snorkeling guests that factor in your experience level, the tides, the water conditions and the weather.
Anguilla is the eye candy of the northern Caribbean, and the stuff of dream vacation destinations. The tiny, flat island is ringed in powdery white sand beaches with sea-grape trees and coconut palms rustling in balmy trade winds and casting lazy shadows across the sand. Colorful shabby-chic beach bars and roadside grills abound, but this island is a swank, luxury destination as well.It's easy to explore the island by either bike or car, and nearby cays are a short sail away. The Heritage Collection presents Anguilla's boat-building history. Prickly Pear cay is perfect for a day of snorkeling and barbecue. Shoal Bay, ranked #1 in the world, offers a premier beach.
Went to Fiji for my honeymoon and i don't think that trip can be topped. We wanted seclusion, privacy and romance and thats what we got. Our bure was 20 feet from the beach where we could relax and maybe see 1 or two people all day. It was incredible. The resort was called Matangi island resort. Great staff, great food…. It's as close to perfect as you can get.
The Baths on Virgin Gorda are a must for any visitor to the island—although it's best to get there early in the morning or the late afternoon to dodge overcrowding by cruise ship tours. Gigantic granite boulders form a series of natural tidal pools filled with a myriad of grottoes and tunnels to explore. The further from the shore you go, the better the coral and sea life is.
Underwater photography has become more and more popular since the early 2000s, resulting on millions of pictures posted every year on various websites and social media. This mass of documentation is endowed with an enormous scientific potential, as millions of tourists possess a much superior coverage power than professional scientists, who can not allow themselves to spend so much time in the field. As a consequence, several participative sciences programs have been developed, supported by geo-localization and identification web sites, along with protocols for auto-organization and self-teaching aimed at biodiversity-interested snorkelers, in order for them to turn their observations into sound scientific data, available for research. This kind of approach has been successfully used in Réunion island, allowing for tens of new records and even new species.[68]
During my time as a digital nomad, I've done a lot of research to find the ideal places to spend the winter where there is rich culture, natural beauty, reliable high-speed Internet, a low cost of living and a thriving community of English-speaking digital nomads. I'm also not a big drinker or partier, so I like to avoid the superficial party scenes and go to places where I can meet interesting expats and get work done.
One type of volcanic oceanic island is found in a volcanic island arc. These islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring. Examples are the Aleutian Islands, the Mariana Islands, and most of Tonga in the Pacific Ocean. The only examples in the Atlantic Ocean are some of the Lesser Antilles and the South Sandwich Islands.

In this connection, I also authorize the customs broker to endorse any refund cheque issued by CBSA in my name, so that Abercrombie & Fitch can be reimbursed.
With water visibility of up to 100 feet, Anguilla is a paradise for snorkelers. There are so many spots to chose from for a dip, but we're partial to exploring the monumental coral gardens (some more than eight feet tall) off Great Dog Island, which is inhabited only by feral goats. Here, you'll find puffer fish aplenty and even a school or two of squid.

Increasingly common glamour shots of popular actresses and models on either side of the Atlantic played a large part in bringing the bikini into the mainstream.[1] During the 1950s, Hollywood stars such as Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner,[89][90] Elizabeth Taylor,[90] Tina Louise,[90] Marilyn Monroe,[90] Esther Williams, and Betty Grable[91] took advantage of the risqué publicity associated with the bikini by posing for photographs wearing them—pin-ups of Hayworth and Williams in costume were especially widely distributed in the United States.[38] In 1950, Elvira Pagã walked at the Rio Carnival, Brazil in a golden bikini, starting the bikini tradition of the carnival.[88]

Women in athletics often wear bikinis of similar size as those worn in beach volleyball. Amy Acuff, a US high-jumper, wore a black leather bikini instead of a track suit at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[198] Runner Florence Griffith-Joyner mixed bikini bottoms with one-legged tights at the 1988 Summer Olympics, earning her more attention than her record-breaking performance in the women's 200 meters event.[199] In the 2007 South Pacific Games, the rules were adjusted to allow players to wear less revealing shorts and cropped sports tops instead of bikinis.[200] At the West Asian Games in 2006, organizers banned bikini-bottoms for female athletes and asked them to wear long shorts.[201]
OB is a boho beach community, so what else can you expect but dive bars, right? Winstons Beach Club is your place for live music—usually some sort of cover band in the Dead/Reggae/Jam band vein. Comedy shows are also regularly scheduled there. The Catalina Lounge is your popular, friendly dive bar, as is the Tilted Stick. The Arizona Cafe has cleaned up its act and is now a cool hangout with pool tables and big TVs for watching sports.

Your love affair with Moorea begins on a clear day in Tahiti as you look out towards the horizon. Lush giant peaks rise out of the blue waters high into the sky, leaving you wondering if you've just discovered paradise. As you near the island on the short ferry across from Tahiti, dolphins lead the way into the harbor like a welcoming party. Moorea is known as 'the magical island' and for good reasons, with time ticking away so peacefully as you're living out your Polynesian dream. Moorea's twin bays carve out the island's signature heart shape, and its lush deep valleys spill into a massive lagoon that feels like a giant heated pool. Your precious time in Moorea can be spent recharging your batteries in an overwater bungalow or in a simple beach hut. But with panoramic hikes in its valleys and peaks, diving with sharks, feeding stingrays and so much more above and beneath the gentle waves – Moorea certainly rewards those who manage to roll off the beach for a few hours!
Made up of 115 islands spread through the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is a dreamlike setting with stunning beaches. There are three main islands — Praslin, La Digue and Mahé — plus a plethora of smaller, outlying islands to visit and each has its own character, so you'll surely want to visit each one on your quest for the perfect beach. The best part about the Seychelles is that it's not overrun with tourists and maintains its local charm.

Ocean Beach City Beach is the main beach in the San Diego neighborhood of Ocean Beach. This is a wide sandy beach that has formed at the south side of the San Diego River mouth. Looking north you can see the neighborhood of Mission Beach on the other side of the rock jetties that protect the Mission Bay Entrance Channel. The southern view from City Beach is dominated by the Ocean Beach Pier which extends about a half-mile out into the Pacific Ocean. If you are visiting here for the first time you should walk out to the end of the pier to take in the view of the city. Below the pier and south of it you'll find extensive tide pools that are exposed at low tide.
Boracayis an idyllic tropical island in the Western Visayas islands of the Philippines. Visitors will be mesmerized by White Beach with sand so soft it's been compared to baby talc. The four-kilometer-long beach has been called the 'finest beach in the world.' Shoeless vacationers lounge on the beaches, get massages, and hang out at beach establishments. After sunset, the vibe turns lively where dancing and partying take center stage. On an island where the outdoors rules, visitors find opportunities to sail, kayak, trek, golf, dive, mountain bike, boat, windsurf, boardsail, and explore. Mambo Number 5 excursions include a little of everything.
Thanks for the great list of vacation destinations! But when you are going to Panama I can recommand going to San Blas instead of Bocas. Why? Because Bocas is way to crowded and full with tourists! San Blas is more prestine and in my opinion more beautiful. Here check these pictures out http://sanblas-islands.com/pictures/. But if you want luxury and good Wi-Fi then skip San Blas, it is pretty back to basic 🙂 Greets!
I unzipped my tent, which looked like the ones I'd seen a few weeks before when watching Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. Inside, the otherwise unremarkable heat became overwhelming. T.I. had largely emptied, but because the dome functions like a gigantic echo chamber it felt like I was camping inside a soccer stadium with a game going. Condensation pitter-pattered down on one corner of my tent from hundreds of feet above. Before I finally passed out, I heard the anguished cry of a single flamingo.
This underdeveloped island is on the fast track to becoming Vietnam's next major hotspot. Although it's technically a Vietnamese island, you'll find it positioned just off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. Its sparkling waters, silky smooth sand and dramatic scenery make it a very picturesque locale. Although it's now home to an international airport (PQC) and cruise ship port, the north and east sides of the island remain largely untouched by hoards of tourists. Take one of the dirt roads out past the rugged jungle for a taste of what the island was like way back when. Nowadays, visitors come to Phú Quốc for many reasons other than just the surf and sand. Explore its azure waters, isolated coves, pearl farms, pepper plantations or opt for a full-day tour of the nearby An Thoi islands, an archipelago of 15 islands and inlets off the southern coast. The best part is, you'll find hardly any tourists — for now, that is.
I'm finally getting a chance to write a review for one of my favorite beaches . Ocean beach has the longest pier on the West Coast , I absolutely love Ocean Beach... it definitely has one of the best sunsets I've ever encountered. There's very limited parking but you can find parking near by and walk around . There's lots of cute restaurants & bars and coffee shops in the surrounding area . It's a great place for everyone to explore and it's pet friend.If you have time if highly suggest you also check out Sunset cliffs and OB Dog Park . One of my favorite places to eat would be Newport pizza . Everything is in walking distance also . Everyone is beyond friendly in that town .
Hi Kyle, thanks for sharing such valuable information, it is exactly what I was looking for. My husband and I are considering spending a year in 2 beautiful destinations. He picked Ambergris Caye and I picked Lombok. We 'just' need affordable accomodation and a decent Internet connection. I see you have visited both places. How was Internet in Caye Caulker? Do you think it will be a problem in Lombok? Thanks so much!

The Waltons have put up their handsome Neath Hotel near Cessnock, looking to traverse the wide brown land and perhaps rescue outback beauties.
Michelle and Brett Walton began in the pub game in the early 2000s, taking on a 3-year lease. About halfway in they learned of the sale of the nearby Neath Hotel, which they'd always admired, and in 2004 took the plunge on their first freehold going concern.
The couple split the workload, while working to restore their new three-storey red brick Victorian pub.
"I ran it for a year and half while my husband finished the lease on our other pub," recalls Michelle. "There was a lot to do … it needed a lot of loving."
The Neath offers a public bar, commercial kitchen and restaurant, TAB, five EGMs, a large all-weather beer garden, and 28 pub rooms plus a manager's residence, on a commanding 1,282sqm lot.
In 2012 the Waltons sold a lease on the pub, looking to take a step back for a while. It wasn't long before they "started to miss it" and took on another lease, only to have their tenants at the Neath fail and be forced to resume operations there.
This time they are looking to sell the business and title, having dreamed of seeing the outback before starting in pubs and now ready to scan new horizons. But still unlikely to settle down.
"We're looking forward to a bit of adventure," says Michelle. "We want to slow down a bit. We've got a caravan and would like to do a bit of travelling. Mind you, when we travel, we want to do holiday relief for hotels!"
Having lived and breathed the Neath into a family-oriented 'country' pub within easy reach of Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, Michelle believes it would be suited to "pub people" that are looking to the friendly lifestyle.
"It definitely would appeal to a husband and wife, it's a very social hotel. It is a lifestyle."
Seemingly natural-born-publicans, Michelle says they weren't always that way, but now can't deny it may yet draw them back again.
"We obviously do love it, and the social aspect of it.
"We say 'we've done our years' but everyone thinks we will buy another one, so watch this space."
The Waltons have engaged HTL Property's Xavier Plunkett to market the Hotel, located in the strong Hunter Valley mining and tourism region of Cessnock – a high-performing gaming LGA.

Texas seeks to overturn Affordable Care Act: Attention focuses on a potential swing judge
EMMA PLATOFF | 7/14/2019, 10 a.m.
The Texas Tribune
NEW ORLEANS – On the left was Judge Carolyn Dineen King, an appointee of Jimmy Carter; on the right sat Judge Kurt Engelhardt, a nominee of Donald Trump; and in the center sat Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, the George W. Bush appointee expected to represent the critical swing vote on a three-judge panel now charged with deciding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.
It was that perhaps fitting seating arrangement that greeted attorneys for Texas on Tuesday afternoon, as the state and its allies asked this three-judge panel on the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to strike down the sweeping health law known as "Obamacare," a legal means to a political end that has eluded conservatives for the better part of a decade.
Texas won a major victory in its bid to end the law in December, when a federal district judge in North Texas sided with the state, declaring that the law is unconstitutional in its entirety after Congress in 2017 gutted one of its important provisions, a tax penalty for individuals who chose to remain uninsured. The U.S. Department of Justice, in a highly unusual move, has declined to defend the law.
A California-led coalition of blue states that has stepped in to oppose Texas in the lawsuit quibbles with that question of "severability," arguing that even if one slice of the law must fall as unconstitutional, its other hundreds of provisions – including a host of popular patient protections – should stand. The question of how much of the law may rightly be salvaged was a focal point of court discussions Tuesday.
Texas' odds of total vindication remain in question after nearly two hours of questions before the three judges.
Most of the unusually large courtroom audience of journalists and interested but unaffiliated attorneys focused on Elrod at the center. By far the most vocal judge of the three, Elrod probed both sides on the issue of standing – whether they have the right to participate in the lawsuit at all. And she appeared highly focused on her court's options for ordering a remedy, seeming to weigh options for sending the case back to a lower court for further consideration.
Engelhardt, who is among the newest appointees to the court, was harsh and occasionally sarcastic, asking more questions of the blue state coalition than he did of the Texas-led team. He seemed skeptical of the standing of both the California-led coalition and the Democratic-majority U.S. House of Representatives, which intervened in the case although the Republican-majority U.S. Senate did not.
The Senate, Engelhardt remarked, "is sort of the 800-pound gorilla that's not in the room."
King, meanwhile, did not speak at all.
The panel is expected to rule in the coming weeks, when an appeal from the losing side is all but guaranteed. But there likely will be no immediate impact on health coverage: The federal government will continue to enforce the law pending "final resolution of this case," August Flentje, a Justice Department lawyer, said Tuesday.

U.S. Airlines Urge Federal Officials Not To Ban Qatar Airways, Fearing Retaliation
By Parker Diakite
U.S. airline companies are asking federal officials to avoid restrictions on Qatar Airways from flying into the country, citing fear of retaliation from other countries on their own services.
This comes amid recent conflict involving Qatar Airways' acquisition of Italian carrier Air Italy, which has been flying to U.S. destinations since June, as reported in INC.
The acquisition means that Qatar Airways owns a 49 percent stake in Air Italy.
American, Delta, and United Airlines are asking the Trump administration to crack down on Air Italy, and stop it from adding so many nonstop flights between the U.S. and Europe.
In a letter addressed to President Trump titled "Please Enforce Our Trade Agreements To Support U.S. Airline Workers," the CEOs of each company stated:
"In January 2018, your administration reached a historic agreement with Qatar over its OpenSkies violations. While we hoped this agreement would hold Qatar accountable and force its heavily subsidized airline, Qatar Airways, to follow the rules and stop hurting American workers, that did not happen."
"Qatar Airways is ignoring the 2018 agreement that your administration signed by using massive government subsidies to launch new routes to the United States through its stake in Air Italy.
"In the last few days, Qatar Airways has used its Italian proxy to launch routes to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and added flights to Miami – a further effort to undermine U.S. airlines. Simply put, Qatar Airways represents a grave threat to American jobs and the health of the airline industry."
Despite their concerns, some airlines are attempting to downplay the move by Qatar Airlines.
In a letter addressed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, JetBlue Airways Corp and cargo carriers FedEx Corp and Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc said banning Qatar Airways or Air Italy could lead to retaliation against US carriers.
JetBlue recently announced they will begin flying from New York and Boston to London daily from 2021.
The letter states that restrictions "would also have a crippling impact on US passenger carriers seeking new service to the EU."

He experienced combat during Operation Desert Shield/Storm as an Artilleryman, and in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF-1) as an Infantryman. He was honorably discharged from active duty in 1992. He transferred to the reserves and was reactivated in 2002 for Operation Noble Eagle and Operation Iraqi Freedom. When he left active duty for the second time, he had a one-week period of debriefing. Not enough time to fully grasp what benefits he had earned and how to access them. Not enough time to acclimate back to civilian life, either. "I didn't know what came next," he says. "I knew about the VA, but you have to do your research. Here in Southern California, it's fairly easy to find resources and get to the nearest VA. I expect the same is true in large metropolitan areas. But in many small towns across the country, there's often no support for veterans, and it's not uncommon to have to drive 1-2 hours to get to a VA clinic or hospital."
While in the reserves, Louis was in charge of his Reserve unit, married, worked full-time in the cable industry and was going to school full-time. He was functioning at a high level, but his PTSD would flare up to the point that his wife delivered an ultimatum that he get help. In 2004, he went into the PTSD program offered at the West Los Angeles VA. The program began with group sessions, followed by one-on-one counseling. "If it weren't for that program, the PTSD counselors and the appropriate medications, I would not be here today." Louis says "For the program to work, you have to be proactive and do your part. Unfortunately, the PTSD department at the local VA has moved locations within the campus and the program is now more of a clinic than a therapy environment, which was more effective for so many vets like me."
Louis says "90% of veterans have no clue about the benefits and resources available to them." He's a counselor who can speak from personal experience to vets. That's what makes him such a valuable member of our team.
Chauncey McNeill, Information Services Representative
Chauncey McNeill smiles easily when you meet him, but engage him in conversation and you quickly find out how passionate he is about learning. Born in Southern Pines, NC, he grew up in Charlotte where he attended UNC- Charlotte, graduating with degrees in Chemistry and Criminal Justice. Pressed, he mentions his publications in scientific journals: as an undergrad doing research on using carbon nano tubes for use in energy storage devices.
McNeill moved to Los Angeles seven months ago to experience an international city. "Growth happens out of your comfort zone. When you put yourself in a new environment, you think differently, acquire new skills." He grins. "It stretches you."
Both grandfathers were Viet Nam veterans. One was 101st Airborne, the other was in the Air Force. Both had overseas postings, and Chauncey grew up hearing their stories.
Chauncey is studying for the LSAT. "If you want to change things, you have to be the person in that position. It's not realistic to expect another person to speak for you." We're happy to have his energy on our team.
Rachel Winters, Women Veteran Program Intern
A second year student in the Master of Social Work program, she holds a Bachelor of Social Work degree. She brings five years of experience working with non-profits to combat homelessness and domestic violence. Rachel's passions include raising awareness about relationship abuse, providing Trauma Informed care, and fighting for social justice for underserved populations.
Winters says, "I am very excited to use my skills to connect veterans with the best possible resources in their local areas. I am also looking forward to working with domestic abuse survivors and using my counseling skills to assist them with positive growth."
Rachel currently runs a women and children's transitional housing program for Venice Community Housing. Mary Ann Mayer, NVF Women Veteran Outreach Director, says Rachel has a lot of experience working with domestic abuse survivors. "That will be a plus because many homeless women veterans are also victims of domestic violence."
Originally from Sacramento, Rachel says, "As a kid, I enjoyed participating in Food Drives and Homeless Outreach. I think that is what drew me to social work." The oldest of seven, her wide range of interests includes movies, painting and "spending time with my six brothers."
Angela Garcia, Women Veteran Program Intern
Angela is a first year student in the Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy program at California State University Dominguez Hills. Of special interest to Angie is building and strengthening healthier communities. Angie is a Violence Prevention Specialist, certified by Peace Over Violence, a non-profit organization headquartered in Los Angeles since1971. Prior to that, she facilitated talks on healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, domestic violence, the cycle of violence, and teen dating violence.
Through her other non-profit work, Angie has seen and felt the importance of helping those who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence and other traumas. She says, "Survivors are dear to my heart and I will use the resources at my disposal to ensure that they receive all the help they need."
Angie feels we as a nation have not cared for our veterans and their families the way they deserve. "If I'm going to help, I want my knowledge and resources to go where I know people need it. I truly believe that I'll find satisfaction and fulfillment being part of the NVF."
We're delighted to have Angie on our staff, especially supporting our Women Veteran outreach.

Frames Windows 7, 8.1 and Vista.
Recently, a new version of an old error has been discovered that can crash almost any Windows PC, just by opening a webpage or viewing an ad.
Crashes your PC
"The problem is how the NTFS driver handles special file names, in this case the $ MFT name, which is one of the special metadata files used in the NTFS file system in Windows," explains MSPowerUser.
Usually this is hidden for users and most of software, but if it forms part of a directory name, Windows will lock the file and thus make the system unavailable. This can cause the machine to crash or to force a reboot.
Does not ramble Windows 10
Several browsers block these URLs, however, Internet Explorer appears to be one of those who gladly fails the addresses. Microsoft is aware of the problem, but so far there is no update available to fix this.
Windows 10 is not affected by the error, but it is Windows Vista, 7, and 8.1.

Dynamic models involving hidden variables, or factors, constitute a rich class which is particularly important to capture the dynamic properties of economic and financial series. Important models of this class are the state-space linear models, the hidden-Markov or Markov-switching models, the stochastic volatility models. Hidden variables can receive an economic interpretation, or they can be used as statistical tools. To handle such models, the standard statistical methods (e.g. the likelihood inference) are often in failure. Alternative estimation methods, which can be based on simulations, have to be introduced. The objective of the course is to present the main specifications, to derive their probabilistic properties and to study the appropriate inference methods for such models. Illustrations based on simulated or real economic data will also be presented.
Chapter I: Definitions and examples
1. Stationary processes, ARMA and ARIMA models
2. Random variance models, Hidden-Markov models
3. State-space models
Chapter II: The Kalman Filter
1. General form of the Kalman filter
2. Prediction and smoothing
3. The stationary case
4. Statistical inference
5. Examples
Chapter III: Markov-switching models
1. Finite-state Markov chains
2. Hidden-Markov models
3. Markov-switching ARMA models
4. Estimation of the MS-AR(p) model
Chapter IV: Bayesian and simulated methods
1. Bayesian inference and MCMC
2. Simulation by acceptance-rejection
3. The Metropolis-Hastings and Gibbs algorithms
4. Examples: STAR model, stochastic volatility model.

These are some colors that I would expect to see in the 60's and 70's. They sure did love their green and yellow pastels. I love the vintage look of the room, especially with those pillows and the curtains. The rest of the room is a bright white with the black and green wall hangings. These bring a unique sense of style to the room and really give it a little bit of character.
Frames are a terrific way to display photos of family and friends. Choose them with or without internal borders and decide whether to stand them on shelving or hang them on a wall. For shelving, a swivel design adds a unique touch. For your wall, go for gallery frames to display numerous photos in a pretty design. The material you opt for needs to complement your decor and with frames of polished brass or nickel, antiqued bronze, reclaimed wood, mirrored glass, bamboo, marble and more, there's plenty of options for you to get the right look.
Bedroom walls can make or break the entire ambience of a master bedroom, so make them shine with a stunning collage of bedroom wall art! Your bedroom should feel comfy and cozy, but it should also feel unique to you, so go with pieces in calming colors like soft neutrals or dark reds – and subjects that appeal to your interests and personality. If your hobbies include traveling and/or hiking, consider black-and-white or sepia photographs roadsides or nature scenes. Or, if you are an animal-lover, go with portraits in warm watercolors of your favorite furry critters, such as deer or horses, for a space that's refreshed and easy – and completely yours.
If you aren't into the bright and beautiful colors that we have seen so far for this theme, then check out these colors. This room features that beautiful canvas art of trees and birds which contrasts with the green area rug and red rocking chair. The crib is black and white, which can be considered gender neutral. I really enjoy the fact that they thought out of the box and went with something a little less flashy than the others.
Artwork is essential to any home décor. It presents your personal sense of style and taste, it welcomes people into a space, and it makes your new house or apartment feel like a home. There's a ton of approaches you can take to decorating your house, from the standard landscape prints in frames to beautiful tapestries. Those who really want to add unique style to their room choose stunning pieces of metal wall art.
Art doesn t have to be expensive to make a big impact in an otherwise neutral room. Choose the best options for your decorating needs by considering the wall space you want to fill. If your wall space is small, one piece of art will do. Larger spaces do best with a series of wall hangings or one large piece that serves as a focal point. Consider your existing decor when choosing art and wall decor. Vintage signs add appeal to a home that already has an antique flavor, for example. Sleek, minimalist art goes best with contemporary decor. Choose art and wall decor that reflects your taste and personality. If you love nature, create a garden on your walls. If you're more of a romantic, adorn your walls with red hearts and a sentimental quotation. Whether you go for canvas wall art, metal decor or vinyl wall decals, there's an abundance of pieces that speak to you at Walmart, where you'll find gorgeous artwork at Every Day Low Prices.
Range your favorites along a shelf for a brilliant alternative to hanging them on the wall. Create visual interest with a pair of paintings in vibrant hues and give them off-center placement. An easy way to craft a cozy nook in your bedroom is to start with a neutral bed, adorn each side with wooden bookshelves and use our hanging hacks to create a backdrop of calming landscapes and rustic charm.
Floater-framed photography sets, which make the art look like it's floating in the frame, come in various configurations, sizes and numbers of pieces. Floater-framed staggered sets come in three pieces that make a statement across your wall, for example, while a floater-framed set of four pieces can create a more coordinated square pattern on your wall.
The wall behind this bed is pretty unique. It is made of what appears to be small white blocks. I kind of like to think of them as start. The rest of the room is well kept and clean. There is very minimal furniture, if any other than the bed. The flooring is a very nice hardwood that almost matches the bed frame. I love the simplicity of the bedroom.
The wall behind the bed has a very unique style. It's made with hardwood by the look of it and it is set in a zig zag pattern. It doesn't match any other colors in the room, making it that much more unique. The rest of the room uses different color wood and textures. The floor is a light wood color, the dresser is a dark wood color, and the wall is a grey wood color. Overall, it's a nice room with a satisfying aesthetic appeal.

Those who really want to add unique style to their room choose stunning pieces of metal wall art.
Small or large, wall art for the living room has a transformative effect the moment you hang it up. Find metal art that adds a hint of luster to your decor, especially if it's dominated by flat fabrics and matte surfaces. Otherwise, wooden wall art lends a natural vibe, such as that found in handcarved fruitwood geese or an abstract collection of panels. Not reflecting as much light, they're ideal for an area with glossy bed linens or sequined lampshades.
Originally we started with a plasma cutter that Austin designed and built from tools and supplies he had available. It was a game changer for us and the signs created from this machine were so well made that people would ask us if they were laser cut. We now own a Bodor fibre laser cutter that guarantees quality cuts with the most intricate detail. Every new sign is pushing the envelope in design.

This was a great read. I enjoyed all of your tips, but number 3. Don't Expect Things to Be Like They Are at Home has really stood out for me. This is one of the primary reasons most of us travel, because we are tired of seeing and doing the same ol'things. If we can afford it, we may want to journey out for a change and see new things, and we'd hope this new scene is not like our home residence. Lol! We want to see something new. The world is entirely too big for us to just stay in one place. I bet you've learned lots on your travel. 🙂
No, it is not a good idea. Liberals have been giving these people the idea they are special and privileged above the rest of Canadians simply because their ancestors lived here before Europeans arrived. This is creating animosity and division like we have never seen before. All Canadians should be officially simply Canadians. Leave our historic traditions and symbols alone and stop trying to tear down our statues of our first PM, John A MacDonald.
Along freeways with heavy traffic, carpool lanes (also called "diamond lanes" for the diamond-shape pattern painted on the lane's surfaces) are identified by black-and-white signs that include details on times and days of enforcement (usually during peak rush hour periods on weekdays). To drive in most carpool lanes, you must at least two people (including the driver) in the car (some lanes in the San Francisco Bay Area have a three-person minimum. Tempted to use the lane when you don't have the required number of riders? Don't—fines are staggeringly high, close to $400 in some areas. In the Los Angeles area, carpool lanes may have specific entry and exit zones; adhere to them or you could get a hefty fine.
8. Manage your money. If you plan on using your debit and credit cards, make sure to notify your bank in advance that you'll be abroad, or you may find your card blocked for suspicious activity. Research beforehand where are the best spots to exchange your money into local currency as ATMs might be scarce in certain places. When out and about, always carry a small amount of cash with you.
Travel isn't conducive for sleep, whether it's snorers in dorm rooms, early risers rustling plastic bags, or drunk backpackers stumbling around in the middle of the night. Even if you don't stay in hostels, you'll still have to deal with street noise from outside, loud bars nearby, and uncomfortable overnight journeys. Pack some ear plugs and a sleep mask in your bag to help improve your sleep. I've been using Sleep Phones to block out light and listen to podcasts and I love them.
At many hotels, check-in and checkout times are far from set in stone. Loyalty members often get the option of early check-in or late checkout, and sometimes hotels offer the option with certain packages or room types. And if you've got a late flight or just need a home base for a few more hours, it never hurts to call the front desk and ask. Often, the hotel will be happy to oblige.
When flying a crazy long-haul flight it is often nice to experience the business class lounge. Although Etihad's lounge in Dublin is lovely, their lounge in Abu Dhabi is often crowded and warm (Etihad has recently been in the process of renovating their Abu Dhabi lounges). The food is good, though, and there is free top shelf alcohol. It is the extra special amenities that are offered that truly enhance the experience.
Sunscreen's a good idea for situations where you can't otherwise avoid extended sun exposure, but it's got its problems too. It enables you to spend unnatural amounts of time exposed to the sun, and unnatural is almost always bad. Plus it blocks your skin from absorbing all the sun's nutrients. There's also a debate about whether some of its chemicals are toxic or not—if not to you, at least to the environment. And…
I just recently discovered your blog and I want to thank you! This blog posting is the most helpful one I have read yet. On most of the other blogs that I have read, the tip are all very repetitive and not very descriptive. Many of your tips I have not heard of and are the kind that one would only figure out through pure experience. For someone with not that much experience traveling, but with a desire to do so soon I found all of these travel tips extremely helpful! Thank you!
Shrink it. Jessica Ellis, a graphic designer who travels between New York City and Chicago every other week, piles clothing into Eagle Creek Pack-It Compressor bags ($10 to $26, rei.com). "Zipper them, and they take out 80 percent of the volume." Warning: This can have wrinkly consequences, so if the clothes don't yet require laundering, lay them flat and place fabric-softener sheets between them. Consider your fresh-smelling clothes a welcome-home present.
If it's a long business trip, you may have plenty of time to connect with local companies. It is, therefore, a good idea to start contacting them via social media and email a good few weeks or months beforehand so you have pre-scheduled meetings when you land. Also, pack wisely and include a power bank that can recharge your phone. It is also advisable to land a few days before your meetings/events so that you have the time to relax and get rid of the jet lag. Lastly, make sure to do some sightseeing; sometimes inspiration comes from quite unlikely places.
This is the best way to build your travel confidence and is especially easy in Southeast Asia. There are many benefits to it, too: you'll get to discover cool places that aren't listed online or in the guidebooks, you'll be able to look at the rooms before you commit to staying, you can negotiate on price, and you're not tied to a specific schedule where you need to be somewhere because you've booked your accommodation already.
Downtown San Diego is less than 20 miles/32 kilometers north of the Mexican border and about 130 miles (210 kilometers) south of Los Angeles. From Los Angeles, it's 385 miles/620 kilometers) north to San Francisco and from there, another 90 miles/145 kilometers) northeast to Sacramento. You'd put about 190 miles/305 kilometers) on your car driving from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park, and about 600 miles/965 kilometers) driving from Los Angeles to Mount Shasta in Northern California. Needless to say, California is ideal for road trips.
5. Consider a cycling event. Start by choosing an enticing ride and let that inspire your trip planning. On any given weekend, you'll find dozens of cycling events throughout California. Want to tackle a century (100 miles) in wine country? Attend a mountain biking clinic? Check the event calendars on SoCalCycling.com, Raceplace.com, Active.com, or TourOfCalifornia.bikefor ideas.
It's good to have a budget to stick to, but most people tend to go over. Start saving as soon as possible (like, now) and aim to bring more money than you think you'll need. The more money you have, the more you'll be able to treat yourself to nicer accommodation, splurge on fun tours, and not spend your entire trip worrying that you'll run out of cash.
The life of a business traveler is less glamorous than perceived. In addition to the stress that comes with travel, business travelers face many health risks as a result of frequent travel. Trying to figure out how to make business travel better? We have rounded up the most comprehensive list of business travel tips from start to finish. Following these tips may not eliminate all of the health risks caused by frequent travel, but it will make your next trip less stressful.
"For summer travel, choose clothing and fabrics that dry quickly, and if possible, are not too heavy even when wet. Whether from hiking hard or getting caught in a rain storm, wet clothes can add considerable weight to your pack. For colder weather, choose one great outer-layer that will keep everything dry underneath. Also, a trash bag or rain-cover for your entire pack can be essential."
Don't take a sleeping bag unless you're actually going camping. They're useless. Most hostels won't even let you use them. Don't pack too many clothes – remember, you'll buy things while you travel. Don't take a huge first aid kit. You really just need a few necessities. Don't take more than three pairs of shoes. Don't take more than two pairs of jeans. But do take soap – most hostels don't supply it.
"Bring a mesh or collapsible laundry bag with you. When you're traveling to your destination, you can lay it over all your clothes to keep things in place. During your trip it helps keep your clothes off the hotel room floor and on the way home, it helps separate dirty clothes from clean — easy to grab and do your wash after a trip, too!" — Lindsey Campbell, Senior Audience Engagement Editor
Great list of travel tips Dave and Deb. I would like to recommend to fellow travelers to book in very last minute, ideally on the day when you travel, to get the best rates. Most hotels and hostels are willing to give you half rate or even better price just to not have a free room (which does bring them exactly 0). I booked couple of rooms for just $1 with this method on my trip to Japan!
I would definetely prefer an aisle seat on International flights, I frequently use the bathroom and it could be a little bit uncomfortable to bother other people while I´m on the window seat, plus on long flights I go to my hand luggage very frequently, to take out a book, to put it back, to take some slippers, to take them out, etc… I´m such a mess hehe…
Many people view business travel as one of the worst parts of their job. The stress of policy-compliant booking, tight packing, busy airports, and trying to squeeze a Macbook Pro between yourself and the reclined seat ahead of you without spilling a complimentary ginger ale on the snoring man in 16B can surely be overwhelming. It's a lot to manage on your own.
As a productivity trainer, I travel quite frequently. Sometimes, there can be quite a bit of downtime. It could be long delays between flights or canceled flights requiring you to rebook on a later flight. This often causes travelers a great deal of stress. But, don't fear downtime. If your flight gets delayed, you might default to checking your email or doing other work. However, it may be more productive to use this unexpected time to meditate or just let your mind wander. This kind of mental break boosts your productivity and creativity.
Make no mistake: The Conservatives pretend to be 'for the people,' but that couldn't be further from the truth. This is still very much the party of Stephen Harper, Trudeau said.==========================================Meaning we have nothing to run on. So we are stoke fear and hatred and division in the hopes the uneducated liberals will still vote for looks.

Being hired as a Keynoter or Workshop Leader does not mean that you only have one opportunity to work. Once you have a signed contract, look for other opportunities to speak. Chambers, Business Incubators, other conferences or chapter meetings would welcome the opportunity to have a "non-local" speak and as a bonus, they won't have to pay your airfare. Bonus Tip: Add packages of instant oatmeal to your luggage for a healthier breakfast or snack.
Reversible clothes can add color to your travel wardrobe and give you plenty of options, all in one garment. Look for pieces that have bright patterns on one side and basic neutrals on the other for maximum use. The reversible V-neck pullovers from L.L.Bean are great for winter getaways, while tank tops with neckline options, such as this one from Anthropologie, add versatility (and endless outfit permutations) to an otherwise basic garment. For men, we like this plaid jacket from yoga outfitter Prana.
When you are in a new country, meeting locals is one of the best ways to experience the country's authentic culture. Smile at strangers, try to learn the local language, and ask questions to the people you meet who live there. You never know, you might end up making a friend who can take you off the beaten path and offer you some true insight into what life is like for those who live there. This kind of experience and knowledge can't be bought on a tour and can only be achieved by making genuine local friends!
Rushing around like this prevents us from being present as everything begins to blur together, and the travel experience becomes less connected and more superficial. It's good to have an idea of what you want to do in a place, or a destination in mind, but then allow yourself to be open to going off-plan, to getting lost along the way and discovering something completely different.
