I'm probably showing my age or something... but, when I was at school and learning to read... it was all boy's stuff. Things about cricket, rugby, going out into the bush, the boring, everyday scenarios and the occasional, overly girly stuff thrown in as an obvious sop (which I hated)... that kind of thing. Boring as all hell, when the really bloodthirsty stuff like myths and legends were not Christian enough to be covered unless they were thinned down to be just as boring as going shopping. Seriously: myths and legends of the world. There's something for everybody and enough fridge horror and heart-warming to keep everybody glued to the seat, whatever their gender.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd agree that there aren't any books for pre-teen or teenaged boys. We had a fair amount of them in my library; and as a matter of fact our book club seemed to be mostly boys. Then again, I don't remember ever having 'the magic of reading' pushed on us in high school. We just read the books because they were on the curriculum and we had to do assignments on them, nobody tried to make us like them.
Be not afraid...
I was talking more about late elementary than high school. We didn't have any of that stuff later on either. I'm thinking the age group 10-14 where they're too old for children's books but most aren't up for adult literature yet. Time may be a factor we're talking late 90s early 00s for me. Also being in different countries also matters. "the boring, everyday scenarios" are usually presented as more interesting for girls, and that matches what I saw as well.

Oooh, I can answer this one! Just the other day someone investigated if there really was a bias in Young Adult books towards girls. Answer: Going by a sample size of awards nominated YA books since 2000 (since checking every book in the last 12 years is nigh impossible), the answer is... not really, no. There are more male protagonists than female, and while there are slightly more female authors, it isn't by a huge margin. Personally, I'd argue that the real problem is the social acceptance of reading in young boys: it's one of those things that just isn't seen as "cool", so a lot of boys refuse unless forced to. I agree with Kzickas on this - a lot of it's down to anti-intellectualism and the whole "boys should think sport > everything" attitude.

I don't think young adult fiction (i.e. kids books) by female authors are necessarily unappealing to boys, either. Animorphs is written by a woman, (at least until the 25th book or so) and that series is about a group of teenage shapeshifters who fight a guerrilla war against evil alien brain slugs trying to conquer Earth. (great series, BTW) I agree that it's a more of a problem with the attitude towards boys reading and doing other "nerdy" things, rather than a lack of fiction aimed at them.

I don't think that article actually says anything very relevant here because I never mentioned the gender of the protagonists. Like the writer of that article I don't believe that protagonist gender is the source of the difference in boys and girls interest in reading. Finding whether there is a difference in the books being interesting to boys and girls is almost impossible to divorce from the difference in interest in reading so it can't really be investigated directly. I guess we could see if there are some books that are as popular with boys as girls (or more popular) and try to get some more like those into schools. One possible explanation for boys being less engaged by stuff aimed at children is that child care is traditionally seen as feminine which could create an association between things of interest to women and girls and that of interest to children. Aimed at is not the same as "of interest to". The later requires authors to write what boys want to read not just what the authors believe boys want to read or should want to read.

Myself, I think it's a bit much to suggest "well, the teachers are woment, ergo... they're teaching women-interest things". That's like blaming the primary school teachers for being women, when men prefer to go into secondary or tertairy educational posts, rather. Or, you know... just avoid teaching, full stop, to steer well clear of the the whole pedo-hunt culture. My point is: there are a lot of factors to consider. And, most of them are to be found outside the classroom.
edited 9th Oct '12 3:33:59 AM by Euodiachloris
I think you misunderstood me. I suggested that the link between women and child care creates a link between women and children in the minds of everyone which could make authors writing for children end up unconsciously writing for women.

One possible explanation for boys being less engaged by stuff aimed at children is that child care is traditionally seen as feminine which could create an association between things of interest to women and girls and that of interest to children. Wait, what? Stuff aimed for children is stuff aimed for children, not stuff aimed for parents or babysitters (beyond, of course, the odd bit of Parent Service). That's some really weird logic there. And even if there was a slight bias towards female-friendly content (which as a heavy reader since the age of five, I sincerely doubt - for a bit of anecdotal evidence, it was slightly harder to find the girly stuff in my school library), there are billions of books out there, and even if only about forty per cent of them are for guys... well, you can see where I'm going here. It's not like the average boy is going to run out of things to read halfway through Year Six.

I'd've thought they'd be trying to write for the children, myself... And, considering the raft of legislation you have to go through to produce books to be used in the classroom, I'm fairly sure bias like that would be found. <shrugs> The number of things you have to keep in mind when writing for kids these days is... frightening. Reading level is not the only thing you have to balance. <sighs> It takes a certain degree of skill to write anything that isn't as bland as the paper it's printed on.
@Iaculus: The only books in our school library that seemed aimed at boys were a few that involved soccer. I definitely think that children's books are aimed at children, but that doesn't help if the people making them have a wrong impression of what children like.

Then assuming you didn't miss the boys' stuff (libraries are pretty big places), and that we're not operating off too narrow a definition of 'boys' stuff' (I doubt anyone would call the Harry Potter series, for instance, unreadably girly, despite it being written by a woman), the problem is distribution, not creation. The books are out there, it's just a matter of what your library chooses to stock. My junior school (age 7-11) library, for instance, had everything from Willard Price to David Eddings to Brian Jarvis to Michael Crichton, with folks like Dick King-Smith for the younger readers, and that's just scraping the surface (IIRC, we even had some Tom Clancy - Red Storm Rising rocked my little eleven-year-old world).
What's precedent ever done for us?
The harry potter books I would definitely have accepted as aimed towards boys, but they weren't there. "The books are out there, it's just a matter of what your library chooses to stock." Exactly, and this discussion was started by me referencing an argument that these books were missing from schools. Maybe your school is representative, maybe mine is. I don't know.

I spent a few years as a book employee. There are literally millions of young adult books, most of which are pretty gender neutral. There are a few that happen to appeal more to boys depending on local culture, like Hugo, the Alex Ryder series (by Tom Clancy), Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Cirque du Freak, and a few others. But I had girls who bought these too. Now a note on school libraries, I've taught seminars in both Wales and America, and I was able to see a bit of the grade school in both areas, only as a student in America though, plus what I've learned since my son started Kindergarden this year: Different school districts have restrictions on what is deemed acceptable to certain age groups and certain subjects. Especially since budgets are being cut, there isn't the money to restock books the way they would probably like. For example, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy wasn't available until 8th year for check out. Robert Jordan was banned even in high school due to a few "sex scenes" (the writer said they had sex). More parents over here at least in the South are really restricting what is "safe" for their kids to read. And in our school system, one parent with a big enough mouth is enough to have it banned for the majority. So more traditionally female enjoyed series like the Saddle Club, Babysitter's Club, and Beverly Clearly's work can get past censors easy. But even a series like Legends of the Guardians can be taken off the shelves. Fear Street, Goosebumps, and whatnot were banned in my school library period. Which is annoying to say the least because I was the girl bringing my Dad's Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Tom Clancy to school to read at a young age. I had a teacher confiscate my copy of the Shining because I was 12 and "shouldn't be reading such filth". I made the office call my father who was on patrol at the time. I still don't know what my dad said to that principal, but all I know is he walked me back to class and told my teacher to never take a book from me again.

If you'll excuse the pedantry, the Alex Rider series is by Anthony Horowitz, who also does several other YA series and stand-alone books. Come to think of it, the way male and female readers (especially children) are pigeonholed into liking different things, and how society reacts to those different things (i.e., girls' books being seen as safer and more acceptable, but also tamer and duller), is a topic in and of itself.

If I have kids, which might not happen since I don't trust my parental skills, or if someone close to me, such as a partner, family member, or friend has kids, which is highly likely, I'll get the kids both "boy" and "girl" books, regardless of gender. Not only will it be good for the children to have a wide range or reading material, it would help them make a better informed choice as to what sort of stuff they would enjoy, rather than merely being pigeonholed into books for one gender or another, and I feel like that would be an effective way for a parent to fight gender stereotypes in their own household.
1417 DrunkGirlfriend9th Oct 2012 07:15:24 AM from Castle Geekhaven
I'm curious if the problem isn't with the amount of books written, but with which books are "banned". If stuff like The Hunger Games or Harry Potter (which appeals pretty evenly to both genders) is banned while things like Twilight (aimed predominantly at girls) is allowed, then yeah, you're going to see a bias. I don't have time to look into it further today, because I have to leave here in a bit, but it would make some sense, considering that anything that isn't fluffy tends to be challenged.

When it is about schools banning books affecting boy's interest in reading, that is just annother problem with censorship. One would thinks books would be mostly unaffected by that, a medium old enough to not count for New Media Are Evil but when the mere mentioning of sex is enough to ban a book in high school there is definitely something wrong.

Another factor here might be the cultural taboo against boys liking anything "girly." Boys are treated with suspicion when they read books with female protagonists, or sometimes even female authors. There is no similar taboo against girls reading "boy" books. So if you have a collection of 20 books, where:
- 5 are by male authors and have male protagonists,
- 5 are by male authors and have female protagonists,
- 5 are by female authors and have male protagonists,
- and 5 are by female authors and have female protagonists,
As much as boys being unwilling to read anything girly it's that people who make media for boys expect girls to be interested too so they will include some peripheral demographic appeal, while the ones writing for women aren't expecting boys to be interested so they don't. It's an evil spiral. You can see the same thing with entertainment for adults too.

Are you saying there are very few "pure boy" books because the authors throw in, let's say, romantic subplots to snag female interest? But the reverse doesn't happen, so there are plenty of "pure girl" books? I'm not an expert in the current state of YA literature, so maybe someone can help me out—what are some examples of "boys' interests" vs. "girls' interests"?
1423 Trivialis9th Oct 2012 09:53:47 AM from contemplation
Wait, I don't see a strong taboo against boys reading books by female authors, or even female protagonists. I've read books, both classics and prose, by female authors. There might be issues towards boys reading "girly books" like how some people see Twilight series or teenage diary type books, but that's probably because such category is marketed more visibly.

Who's Vergo-san.
At least when I was kid, J.K. Rowling being a girl was a big deal and part of why I dropped the second book halfway through. Granted I was in the second grade, and a "rival reader" was picking on me the entire time, but still. At the same time, there were also a lot of kids (including myself shortly before being made fun of) who were dressing up as Harry Potter for Halloween after the first movie came out. So I think I was a rare case in my area. Another aspect to think of is that a lot of books deal with mental intrigue, not really action or fighting or other considerably-male oriented interests. So even if a book doesn't have a huge romantic plot thread to it, the default is that it appeals to girls, because it's "probably about emotions" or something. I dunno, kids are stupid I guess.

@Kzickas: What you said on the last page is also related to a bigger problem: more and more teens are turning away from the classics, seemingly because they have to read them in school and are associating them negatively with the school experience. On the other hand, it's necessary to get the youth to read the classic texts, but we clearly cannot force it on them.

Kenai Central High School students were dismayed last weekend when plans for their annual homecoming bonfire went down in flames.
The traditional event was canceled because of a bomb scare connected with middle school students.
But the bonfire will go ahead after all, tonight.
"We are going to try to have a second coming of the bonfire," said KCHS Principal Berry Swenson. "We are trying to be as nonchalant as possible about it."
Swenson said the school decided to go ahead and reschedule the bonfire for the sake of the students. He praised their behavior and said they deserved the rights and privileges customary for the homecoming celebration.
"The kids here have been great, and I want to reward them," he said.
Student body president Scott Kornfield said that the events leading to the original cancellation were unfortunate, but students are looking forward to having fun at the rescheduled event.
"It is good we have the support of the school," he said. "It will be good to keep the school spirit up."
The scattered pallets will be gathered together again and lit this evening.
The school is having the fire on a school night to accommodate the athletics schedule. This weekend will be a big one for the Kenai Kardinals, Swenson said.
The cross country team will be attending the state meet in Palmer. The volleyball team, buoyed by a win over Homer, will host Kodiak. The swimming and diving team will be competing in Seward. And the football team will square off against rival Soldotna High on the Kenai field.
"We'll be using (the bonfire) as a pep assembly," Swenson explained.
The event will begin with a barbecue for athletes and cheerleaders at 6:30 p.m. The fire will be lit at 7.
Friday evening, the original bonfire was postponed because a juvenile suspected of illegal use of explosives was found nearby shortly before its planned ignition, according to Kenai police. Two boys, aged 13 and 14, were arrested and charged with theft, criminal mischief, misconduct involving weapons and criminal possession of explosives. One of the boys was also charged with possession of marijuana.
Recent world events have heightened concerns about potential problems on campus, but the school is ready to get on with the business of learning, Swenson said.
"But were we a little extra cautious? You bet," he said. "We will not take risks as far as students are concerned."

From Middle English unruly ("unquiet, restless"), interpreted as un- + rule + -ly (compare Middle English ruly, reuli ("subject to a religious rule, regular")), but also representing a modified continuation of earlier Middle English unrouly, unroly ("unquiet, restless"), equivalent to un- +"Ž roolie. The latter is perhaps from or influenced by an Old Norse word related to Danish urolig ("restless"), Swedish orolig ("restless"), Icelandic órólegur ("agitated"). Compare also Middle English unroo, unro ("unrest"). More at roo.

West Texas Classic baseball tournament gets under way today
Published 3:58 pm, Wednesday, March 9, 2011
First-year Greenwood baseball coach Vince Callicoatte has heard the horror stories about organizing a tournament, but as the annual West Texas Classic begins today, Callicoatte said his experience has been just fine.
Callicoate said there have been some issues in his first year as the head coach in organizing the tournament, but he said the support he's received from the beginning has made the job that much easier.
"You usually hear different coaches talk about stuff like this, that's it's a pain in the neck," Callicoatte said. "But I've got a great booster club and a great amount of support from the administration and the grounds crew. They really have made it easy."
Callicoatte said his biggest task has been working to bring in teams to the tournament, which will feature some different venues than in years past. Greenwood still will host the tournament and games will be played there, but games also will be played at Midland High's Zachary Field and Lee's Ernie Johnson Field.
In previous years, games have been played at Christensen Stadium and Citibank Ballpark, and for various reasons those venues were not available this year. Citibank is being resurfaced this spring and won't be available until April, and Christensen is playing host to high school and junior college games on Friday and Saturday.
Even with the venue change, Callicoate said he's pleased with the field that's coming, which includes nine small school teams from West Texas, along with Midland High's junior varsity team.
Pool A will have Coahoma, Graham, Greenwood, Pecos and Pampa. Pool B will have Borger, MHS JV, Ozona, Presidio and Seminole.
And this weekend's tournament will offer Callicoatte and the Rangers one more chance to continue working on gaining experience with a young team.
Greenwood is 4-6 this season, which included a 3-0 loss to Sweetwater on Tuesday in a nondistrict game, and Callicoatte said his squad still is looking for that right combination.
"We are just looking at a bunch of kids right now and trying to fill in some of the pieces to the puzzle," Callicoatte said. "We've not really solidified our entire roster right now."
Callicoatte said they have had some players out with injuries, but with the chance to play as many five game this weekend, he hopes to have more questions answered. Greenwood opens the tournament at 9 a.m. today against Coahoma.
"We really haven't just found the right chemistry, or the right combination on the mound with the defense to back it up," Callicoatte said. "We just haven't quite jelled yet."

Office of Economic Development aims to grow Boston's small businesses
Sandra Larson | 1/25/2017, 11:08 a.m.
Boston has 40,000 small businesses that provide some 170,000 jobs, nearly half of all employment in the city, according to the city's Small Business Plan released last May. And the vast majority of the city's small businesses — both downtown and in Boston's many neighborhoods — are "micro-businesses" with fewer than 10 employees and less than $500,000 in revenue.
On the web
Mayor's Office of Economic Development: www.boston.gov/departments/economic-development
City of Boston Small Business Plan: http://bit.ly/2jLJq6v
Guide to starting a business in Boston: www.boston.gov/starting-business
Recognizing the importance of small business opportunities for livelihoods and wealth building, the Mayor's Office of Economic Development (OED), formed in 2014 by the incoming Walsh administration, has been ramping up its efforts to support existing and new small businesses, providing a range of services to help them get a foothold, survive and thrive.
Karilyn Crockett, the OED's Director of Economic Policy and Research and Director of its Office of Small Business, told the Banner that much of the city's work with small businesses is guided by findings in the Small Business Plan report. The report identifed a clear need by small business owners for both direct technical assistance, including connections with mentors and coaches, and greater awareness of the resources available to them.
"There are about 250 different business service organizations around Boston, but business owners could only name two or three," Crockett said. "We've taken that as a mandate."
Through the OED, small businesses can get answers about licensing and permits and can access services such as on-site technical assistance, design assistance for storefront improvements and energy efficiency evaluations, all at no charge.
The OED runs a variety of workshops. An upcoming session will cover using Instagram to promote a business. In East Boston, a set of local small businesses gathered recently, with the help of the East Boston Chamber of Commerce and the East Boston Merchants Association, for a workshop with the OED's technical assistance providers.
"What we've found in East Boston and other neighborhoods is that leveraging existing business organizations can help us be more effective," said Crockett. "We were able to bring people together."
Even as Boston has experienced economic growth in the past decade, communities of color continue to have higher unemployment and lower average incomes.
"Small businesses contribute to social equity and inclusion by serving as an entry point for workers with diverse education and experience levels," the Small Business Plan report notes. "A vibrant small business ecosystem is a cornerstone of efforts to extend economic opportunity to all residents."
Roughly one-third of Boston's existing small businesses are minority-owned. The plan outlines policies and programs aimed at leveling the playing field, ensuring that under-represented groups have access to opportunities, networks and resources crucial to small business success.
Lauren Jones, the OED's Director of Business Strategy, said her office is working to prepare a pipeline of the city's local youth for opportunities in the area's booming high tech sector by connecting with schools and summer jobs programs and partnering with Hack.Diversity, an initiative that connects black and Latino students with internships and mentorships with professionals of color in the tech industry.

Smithfield Packing Co. will move its smoked-ham operations from Kinston, N.C., to Grayson, Ky., and plans to spend $10 million to update Kentucky plant.
The Grayson plant will be the processing site for a wide range of boneless hams, bone-in hams and smoked pork chops. Smithfield purchased the plant from Cook's Family Foods in 2006 and has been processing Cook's bone-in portioned hams. Smithfield will take six weeks to renovate the facility, adding refrigeration and packaging capacity.
Smithfield officials say that modernizing the Grayson facility offers the company and its customers improved options. "We are committed to providing our customers with the safest and highest quality pork products in the world, and the Grayson facility will play an important role in helping us fulfill that promise,"Joe Luter IV, president and chief operating officer of Smithfield Packing, said in a press release.
This action follows Smithfield's announcement that it was closing its smoked-ham operations in Kinston because it was too old and costly to modernize

H. The Differences Between K&R Solaris Studio C and Solaris Studio ISO C
In previous implementations, you could not specify the parameter types that a function expected, but ISO C encourages you to use prototypes to do just that. To support functions such as printf(), the syntax for prototypes includes a special ellipsis (…) terminator. Because an implementation might need to do unusual things to handle a varying number of arguments, ISO C requires that all declarations and the definition of such a function include the ellipsis terminator.
Since there are no names for the "…" part of the parameters, a special set of macros contained in stdarg.h gives the function access to these arguments. Earlier versions of such functions had to use similar macros contained in varargs.h.
Let us assume that the function we wish to write is an error handler called errmsg() that returns void, and whose only fixed parameter is an int that specifies details about the error message. This parameter can be followed by a file name, a line number, or both, and these are followed by format and arguments, similar to those of printf(), that specify the text of the error message.
To allow our example to compile with earlier compilers, we make extensive use of the macro __STDC__ which is defined only for ISO C compilation systems. Thus, the function's declaration in the appropriate header file is:
#ifdef __STDC__ void errmsg(int code, ...); #else void errmsg(); #endif
The file that contains the definition of errmsg() is where the old and new styles can get complex. First, the header to include depends on the compilation system:
#ifdef __STDC__ #include <stdarg.h> #else #include <varargs.h> #endif #include <stdio.h>
stdio.h is included because we call fprintf() and vfprintf() later.
Next comes the definition for the function. The identifiers va_alist and va_dcl are part of the old-style varargs.h interface.
void #ifdef __STDC__ errmsg(int code, ...) #else errmsg(va_alist) va_dcl /* Note: no semicolon! */ #endif { /* more detail below */ }
Since the old-style variable argument mechanism did not allow us to specify any fixed parameters, we must arrange for them to be accessed before the varying portion. Also, due to the lack of a name for the "…" part of the parameters, the new va_start() macro has a second argument—the name of the parameter that comes just before the "…" terminator.
As an extension, Solaris Studio ISO C allows functions to be declared and defined with no fixed parameters, as in:
int f(...);
For such functions, va_start() should be invoked with an empty second argument, as in:
The following is the body of the function:
{ va_list ap; char *fmt; #ifdef __STDC__ va_start(ap, code); #else int code; va_start(ap); /* extract the fixed argument */ code = va_arg(ap, int); #endif if (code & FILENAME) (void)fprintf(stderr, "\"%s\": ", va_arg(ap, char *)); if (code & LINENUMBER) (void)fprintf(stderr, "%d: ", va_arg(ap, int)); if (code & WARNING) (void)fputs("warning: ", stderr); fmt = va_arg(ap, char *); (void)vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap); va_end(ap); }
Both the va_arg() and va_end() macros work the same for the old-style and ISO C versions. Because va_arg() changes the value of ap, the call to vfprintf() cannot be:
(void)vfprintf(stderr, va_arg(ap, char *), ap);

3 Nederland girls suspected of vandalism
Published 4:14 pm, Monday, January 13, 2014
Nederland Police Department suspect three Nederland girls of spray painting gang slurs and vulgarity on cars, homes and fences Saturday night.
If found guilty of the 14 acts of criminal mischief, they each face Class B or C misdemeanor charges for a vandalism spree, and at worst, a felony, Assistant Chief Gary Porter.
Porter said most of the vandalism occurred between to the 400 and 800 blocks of 17th Street.
One of the girl's parents turned them in, and had them clean up as much of the vandalism as they could.
"It's just three juvenile girls acting silly," Porter said, adding that it's not gang-related graffiti.
No arrests have been made.

Places Discussed
(Critical Guide to Settings and Places in Literature)
Equity. Small town in Maine in which the novel opens on a picturesque winter scene. The town initially seems attractive and in harmony with its natural surroundings. However, several variant meanings of the word "equity" suggests that W. D. Howells had ambivalent thoughts about the town. Equity is a place that fosters the basically simple and provincial outlook of a woman like Marcia Gaylord and constrains an ambitious and unscrupulous man like Bartley Hubbard, whom she marries. Human nature is not morally more pure in Equity; it merely faces less varied temptations there. Bartley is the kind of person who takes mean advantage of others wherever he is, but Equity, where transgressions of laws and mores quickly become generally known, offers only limited scope for his selfishness and arrogant disregard of others. This conservative community also imposes restrictions on him as a journalist and seeker of an interesting social life. In short, Equity cannot hold Bartley, and because Marcia is infatuated with him, she departs also, although it is the sort of place that suits her temperament.
Logging camp
Logging camp. Simple place, close to nature, where Bartley visits Kinney, a man of gentle nature and ingenuous admiration for the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Bartley himself acknowledges that only a person in what he calls "first-rate spiritual condition" can safely commune so closely with nature, but he is far less interested in nature than in the...

Main :: POD Farm / POD Studio / TonePort
by ramin91 on 2012-11-10 16:44:40.9870
I recently just bought a pod ux1 not knowing a thing about amp setups etc.
I've owned a spider IV 15W amp for 3 years and have been using it to record anything i do to make covers for songs i like.
I've always used the 'insane' channel on my spider amp as i mainly play metalcore and the tone pretty much fits almost every song in the genre anyway and is pretty decent although limited.
Now i'm trying to step it up and get away from the old line-in recording with my lame onboard soundcard and amp and so thats why i've bought mysefl a pod ux1. Since upgrading from windows XP to windows 7, my line-in has a unbearable sound delay so if you pluck the guitar string the sound will be heard a second too late, making recording impossible. This is a fail by windows 7 and has actually driven me insane. The problem could never be solved so i needed to by a pod and so i have. To be very honest with you i'm not even sure if i'm using my pod correctly at this moment but here goes.
I CANT SEEM TO GET ANY DECENT TONE OUT of my UX1 with podfarm 2, everything sounds rubbish......my spider IV kicks ass compared to this and only costed me £70 (3 years ago!) whilst the UX cost me £110, something must be wrong? I've tried the popular custom amp models uploaded on here for download for bands like parkway,bmth,killswitch etc but they just sound cheap, crumbly, flimsy and weak with no real metalcore tone at all, frankly poo, nothing you could play a breakdown with anyway :s my spider IV sounds godly when compared.
Please help people, when will it be mine turn to shred?
heres an example of my tone with my spider amp on a cover i did about a year ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz7Kc8CKHSk&list=UUjgJImLlpprfLIFCzSJQhPA&index=6&feature=plcp">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz7Kc8CKHSk&list=UUjgJImLlpprfLIFCzSJQhPA&index=6&feature=plcp">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz7Kc8CKHSk&list=UUjgJImLlpprfLIFCzSJQhPA&index=6&feature=plcp can this not be at least matched?
GUITAR: Ibanez GRGR121EX
by silverhead on 2012-11-11 05:41:30.9540
How are you monitoring the sound from the UX1? Are you using its headphone jack, or are you routing the outputs to another piece of equipment? If so, what is it?
by ramin91 on 2012-11-11 08:30:21.7360
yes i am currently using the UX1's headphone jack with my senneheiser headphones because i dont have any extra 3.5mm adapters yet for my my speakers to be used instead.......nothing else is being used, just my guitar plugged into the UX1 and thats it and obviously USB from UX1 to my pc of course
by ramin91 on 2012-11-11 08:31:59.5660
may i also add i'm using my UX1 as my dedictaed soundcard and have disbaled my onboard soundcard
by silverhead on 2012-11-11 13:00:16.9430
The only other thing I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall Pod Farm. I'm not a metal tone guy so can't advise you on settings.
by ramin91 on 2012-11-11 13:23:42.6110
have tried that a million times lol, thanks anyway :/
by patricknd90 on 2012-12-02 21:08:51.4670
1. Go to youtube and search "pod farm metal tone" or "joey sturgis tone." Sturgis is the guy who mixes all the terrible crabcore bands, but the reason they're famous is because they have a great mixer behind them. There are tons of videos showing you how to get a decent sound out of Pod Farm.
2. You hit the nail on the head in your first sentence- you don't know anything about amp setups! Pod Farm isn't going to magically make your guitar sound better; you have to create a tone. Ignore the tones that come with it and do the following instead:
a. Create a single effects chain in the Pod Farm main window.
b. Start with a noise gate.
c. Add a Tube Screamer distortion pedal with the gain at about half and the drive around 1, with the tone 75%-ish up.
d. If you have the Metal Shop expansion pack (it's $25- I highly, highly recommend it), add a Bomber Uber or a Deity Lead. If not, add a Brit J-800, a Chemical X, or the Jumper-whatever one.
e. Either add a cab next and play with the mic (SM57 off axis with the amp close usually sounds good),
[f. OR, preferably, download an impulse response cab. Impulse responses ("IRs") are .wav files that you load into a program (there are lots of free ones out there- check out LeCab) and they emulate the sound of a cab arguably better than the Line6 models. To do this, first download LeCab and add it to the plug-ins folder in your computer (there are tutorials on how to use IRs all over the web if I'm not being specific enough). Next, google "metal impulses." There's a superb free bunch of them on the Ultimate Metal forum. Next,
g. Load up your DAW (Reason, Garageband, Reaper, Logic, Cubase, whatever). Open the LeCab plugin. Pick one of the files in the impulses folder and load it into the cab, one for each speaker (left and right). You're going to need to play with the settings on your pedals, and LeCab, and the amp head in Pod Farm, but this will sound about as good as you're going to get on a tight budget. Find the Tone Vampire 1.0 or 2.0 impulses; they emulate BFMV, Meshuggah, and some other famous bands to a T. Really great stuff.]
h. Regardless of whether you use a Line6 cab or an IR, you need to add a compressor to the end of your FX chain and play around with it. The PodFarm one is basic but functional; if you're using Cubase or Garageband, they both have built-in multiband compressors that will let you take chunks out of the spectrum here and there to really perfect your sound.
i. Use the Line6 4-band EQ. It's a pain in the ass to understand how to use it, but it's better than a parametric (10-band slider thingy) EQ because it will always slope the frequencies around what you're modifying so nothing sounds artificial or fake.
tl;dr you really need to play around with it and make a coherent effects chain, but trust me, especially if you grab some IRs, PodFarm is an amazing tool.
edit: I forgot to mention, play with the amp head a lot too. I recommend using little gain but lots of drive on the head, and little drive but lots of gain on the Tube Screamer, which should pretty much always be in your chain if you're playing metal.
Also, with the IRs and everything, it's a given that you need a DAW program to run them. If you don't have one, I highly recommend Reaper; it's a little much for a beginner (I'm no expert myself), but it's only $60 and extremely functional.
Finally, use some post-signal processing in your DAW like an equalizer or something, and if you're recording, double the tracks and pan them to the left and right by +20 and -20 or so. This will give you a bigger, beefier sound that spreads across the stereo spectrum more.
For reference, here's an example of using a DAW (Cubase here) to load IRs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJdy_FN18tE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJdy_FN18tE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJdy_FN18tE

Many music lovers resolved to learn or practice an instrument in 2016, and one of the most popular instruments to pick up is the piano. Once you learn to read sheet music, you can see the tiny intricacies of each song right there on paper, and really feel inspired by the instrument. MusicNotes.com is a great resource for popular and classic sheet music, where there are multiple versions of these piano favorites:
1. Space Oddity: The somber beauty of this classic by the late David Bowie is sure to engage even the most frustrated player. Its use of simple chords is impressive, yet not too hard to master.
2. Fur Elise: The opening notes of one of Beethoven's most popular songs command attention and make listeners tune in. The song is also famous for exciting changes, twists, and turns that will challenge you as you learn.
3. All of Me: Learn this romantic smash hit by John Legend on the piano and you'll have a hard time not singing along. The sheet music is easy to follow and the song is easy to learn (maybe even in time for Valentine's day)!
4. Hello: Adele's songs are sure to stir emotion and inspire learners to keep trying. You'll love playing this song once you learn it.
5. Piano Man: Once people know you are a piano enthusiast, chances are, they'll ask you about "Piano Man," by Billy Joel. Luckily, it's a crowd pleaser that's easy to learn.
Learning music by actually reading it on the page allows you to engage with the song and take ownership of your own style. Those little black dots and lines on the page are laden with meaning, and you'll have a visual reference point for the way the song moves up and down the scales.
Of course, the most important thing about learning piano or another instrument is to stay dedicated to learning and practice, practice, practice. Try setting up a daily time slot in your schedule that is dedicated to playing and listening to piano music. It's also helpful to watch others play the songs you're trying to learn. If you compare what you're seeing to sheet music, you might be amazed at how quickly you pick it up.
Bonus: For first-timers or people who need a refresher, MusicNotes.com has a nice little cheat sheet that you can download and print for free and prop up on the piano as you get your fingers used to the keys.

Story highlights
- Petra Kvitova enters draw for French Open in May
- Kvitova was injured by an intruder in December
- Czech star battling back to fitness after surgery
(CNN)Petra Kvitova could make her long-awaited return to tennis at the French Open in May.
The two-time Wimbledon champion has been out of action since December after an intruder burst into her home and slashed her left, playing hand.
Emergency surgery in the aftermath of the attack helped repair damage to the Czech's tendons and nerves and she has been battling back to fitness ever since.
Now she has entered her name for the French Open draw, to be held in Paris on Wednesday, but warned the tournament may still come too soon for her.
In a statement on her official Facebook page, Kvitova said: "I wanted to provide a quick (and hopefully positive) update for you.
"My name will appear on the entry list for Roland Garros because, as the entry deadline approached, I had made good progress in my recovery process and I want to give myself every last opportunity to be able to compete at one of my favorite events.
"This unfortunately does not mean necessarily that I will be ready to play in Paris, but that I'm doing everything possible to give myself the chance and keep a positive mindset.
"There remains a long road ahead but I wanted to share this update with you."
Kvitova was at home in the city of Prostejov, about 160 miles east of the Czech capital Prague, when an apparent robber burst into her apartment at around 08:30am on the morning of December 20.
The 27-year-old was able to fend the attacker off, who then fled, and later said she was "shaken, but fortunate to be alive."
As part of her rehabilitation, Kvitova recently spent time in the Canary Islands training and said she was working "really hard" on her recovery.
The 19-time winner on the WTA Tour said her outlook on life had changed since the incident, and that she was doing everything she could to give herself a second chance back on court.
The last time Kvitova played competitively was for the Czech Republic in a Fed Cup tie against France on November 12 last year. She was knocked out of the 2016 French Open in round three by America's Shelby Rogers.
Both her major titles came on grass at Wimbledon, in 2011 and 2014, and she reached a career-high ranking of world number two in October 2011.

Drug raid targets Hub firefighter's Maine home
- |
A Boston firefighter was called a person of interest in a federal drug investigation after authorities raided his Maine home yesterday and allegedly seized 131 marijuana plants and cultivating equipment, worth an estimated $700,000, according to Maine authorities.
The firefighter, Sean Berte, 31, of Boston, was questioned last night by agents with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. He is the owner of the home that was raided in Bridgton, Maine, according to David Lyons, police chief in that town. He called Berte a "serious person of interest."
Berte's father-in-law, Michael S. Domenici, 60, of Rehoboth, who was at the house at the time of the raid, was charged with cultivating marijuana, Lyons said.
"This operation was sophisticated, well-organized," he said. "This guy had it down to a science."
Yesterday's raid was the third raid of a marijuana farm in Bridgton in the last week, the fourth since February, Lyons said. He noted that authorities have discovered a significant drug operation in the town of only 5,000 year-round residents.
Bridgton police have been working with DEA agents over the last two seeks, and an investigation led to Berte's home, Lyons said.
Berte is not the first Boston firefighter to be tied to alleged marijuana dealing. In November, a firefighter on disability retirement was arrested in Texas allegedly with 41 pounds of marijuana. The retired firefighter, Dennis J. Hogan, 53, of South Boston, was stopped for speeding in that state and a search of the vehicle allegedly yielded the drugs.
The department has also been tainted by drug scandals since the deaths of two firefighters in a 2007 fire in West Roxbury. One of the men had traces of cocaine in his system, and the other was legally drunk, autopsies found.
Steve MacDonald, a spokesman for the Fire Department, said last night that he had not heard of the raid on Berte's home and would not comment. Berte could not be reached for comment by phone last night.
Donovan Slack of the Globe staff contributed to this report.

Macy's, Meijer, Steve Madden and Best Buy Keynote at Retail Mobile Executive Summit
Press Release • Apr 27, 2010 10:45 EDT
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. April 27, 2010 — Speaker roster star power is amping up for this summer's RetailConnections-RILA Retail Mobile Executive Summit, an innovative idea exchange that does a deep dive into today's most promising customer engagement and operations wins in the emerging mobile era.
Andrew Koven, president of e-commerce and customer experience for blockbuster brand Steve Madden Ltd., will deliver a keynote at the Mobile Summit, July 19-21, in San Francisco. Steve Madden's customer demographic is among the most mobile-savvy, intolerant of rookie mistakes and highly demanding.
Koven joined the Summit program on the heels of another heavy-hitter in the mobile retail arena: Jeff Handler, senior vice president of marketing and advertising for $13 billion supercenter Meijer. A pioneer in the mobile space, Meijer has been crafting mobile initiatives since 2005. One standout is Handler's campaign that alerted shoppers to gasoline price increases two hours in advance — so they could fuel up on the cheap. That texting initiative won accolades from the industry and enduring loyalty from consumers.
"The most creative minds in retail and consumer packaged goods will share some daring mobile initiatives they've launched and why some succeeded while others did not," said Marc Millstein, president of RetailConnections, based here. RetailConnections has partnered with the Retail Industry Leaders Association to launch the inaugural Retail Mobile Executive Summit, designed for senior-level retail and brand executives, at San Francisco's Renaissance Stanford Court.
Steve Madden and Meijer join an already-stellar speaker roster that includes Keith Enright, vice president and chief privacy officer at Macy's Inc.; John Thompson, senior vice president and general manager of BestBuy.com, and Brett Bonner, director, research and development, Kroger Co., among others soon to be named.
Among the areas the Mobile Summit will dissect:
• Newly emerged and future technologies that lift brand awareness
• Social networking risks and rewards
• The need for speed and why those brands that submit to analysis paralysis will be left behind, while risk-takers will be embraced and forgiven for inevitable missteps
• How mobile fits into front-end functions such as scanning, electronic couponing and payments, and back-end processes such as sourcing and shipping
• How to sort through the maze of solution providers — both established icons and newcomers with something surprising to offer.
The Retail Executive Mobile Summit is designed exclusively for senior-level (VPs and CXOs) executives. To register, visit www.retailconnections.biz or www.retailmobile.net.

WASHINGTON — President Obama said he and successor-in-waiting Donald Trump had an "excellent conversation" Thursday as the intense rivals who defined the volatile 2016 election discussed the hand-off of the White House.
Just days after vicious attacks on the campaign trail, the two men spoke well of each other and shook hands for the cameras. Trump, who famously challenged the president's birth of place, called his predecessor "a very good man" following their Oval Office meeting.
Obama said his "number one priority" over his last two months in office is to facilitate the transition to the Trump administration. He said the two talked about "organizational issues," as well as domestic and foreign policies. "I believe that it is important for all, regardless of party and regardless of political preferences, to now come together, work together to deal with the many challenges we face," Obama told reporters.
Trump — noting that the scheduled 15-minute meeting ran closer to 90 minutes — said: "Mr. President, it was a great honor being with you, and I look forward to being with you many, many more times."
'The New York businessman also said: "We had never met each other. I had great respect."
The two shook hands for the cameras, but did not take questions from reporters.
Heading into the meeting, the two men struck conciliatory notes in the wake of Tuesday's surprising election results, following a campaign of searing rhetoric.
"It's time for America to bind the wounds of division," Trump said during his victory speech early Wednesday.
Obama is "quite sincere about fulfilling the basic responsibility that he has to the American people and our democracy to ensure a smooth transition to the next presidency," said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.
After the meeting, Earnest said the two leaders did not resolve all of their differences, but did not try to either; their focus was a smooth transition.
Trump followed up the meeting by heading to Capitol Hill to meet with another key player in his emerging presidency, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. The vice president-elect, Mike Pence, also attended the session with Ryan, who, like Obama, had his share of differences with Trump. The speaker said. "we had a fantastic, productive meeting about getting to work."
The president-elect is starting to speak with an array of foreign leaders by phone, from Japan to Turkey. British Prime Minister Theresa May congratulated Trump on his victory, and reminded the New York businessman of his "commitment in his acceptance speech to uniting people across America, which she said is a task we all need to focus on globally," according to a statement from May's office.
Trump invited May to visit him as soon as possible, the statement said.
Another world leader, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, announced his government is prepared to re-negotiate parts of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada.
The Trump team is also putting together possible picks for the Cabinet and White House staff.
While Obama and Trump spoke in the Oval Office, first lady Michelle Obama gave a tour of the residence to Melania Trump.
In preparing for his sit-down with Trump, Obama said "it is no secret" that they have "some pretty significant differences." But the president added that he'd also had differences with his predecessor, George W. Bush, and they had a smooth transition. He said he has instructed aides to "follow the example that President Bush's team set eight years ago, and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the president-elect."
One Trump backer and Obama critic, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, described the meeting between the president and his successor as "an amazing tribute to the power of the people."
Trump spent much of his insurgent campaign pledging to reverse and tear down Obama's legacy. He called for repealing and replacing the president's health care law, voiding the Iran nuclear deal and ending new business and environmental regulations.
On the stump, Trump also criticized Obama for campaigning so much on behalf of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, saying he should "do the job he's supposed to be doing."
In his campaign speeches, Obama cast Trump as an erratic and perhaps unstable political novice who shouldn't be allowed near the nuclear codes. "It's really bad being arrogant when you don't know what you're talking about," Obama said.
The Obama-Trump rivalry, intrinsic to the 2016 election, goes back years.
During Obama's first term, Trump made a name for himself by becoming the de facto leader of the so-called "birther" movement, pushing the false idea that the president was not born in the United States. In this past campaign year, Clinton described the birther movement as a racist attack on the nation's first African-American president.
In 2011, Obama responded by producing a long-form birth certificate and mocking Trump at a high-profile press dinner as the New York businessman sat in the audience.
At the White House on Wednesday, Obama said he wants to make sure the presidential succession is "well executed because ultimately we're all on the same team."

Spurs' Parker talks return timeline
Updated 5:43 pm, Sunday, August 13, 2017
SAN ANTONIO – Tony Parker expects to be back on the court in four to five months.
The Spurs point guard offered that timeline during a recent interview with Argentina's LPG TV. In previous interviews, he said he hoped to return in January.
"It's OK. It's getting better and better," he said of his recovery from the left quadriceps injury that sidelined him in the second round of the playoffs last season.
"I'm starting to run like a little bit. I'm walking pretty well. I think it's still going to be a long process. It's still going to take like another four or five months, but I am very happy with the progresses. I am advancing in my rehab."
Parker, who turned 35 on May 17, underwent surgery May 5 to repair the tendon he ruptured during the fourth quarter of Game 2 against Houston. The injury was a severe blow to the Spurs' title hopes, considering Parker had averaged in the playoffs to that point 15.9 points and 3.1 assists while shooting 53 percent.
The Spurs survived the injury to defeat the Rockets but lost to Golden State in the West finals after Kawhi Leonard went down with an ankle injury.
The Spurs will open training camp next month for the 2017-18 season.
