John my friend, I have told you how much running Trek meant to me, but I realize just how great an amount he meant to you and Robin. I had so much fun running a dog that would line a 350 yard blind, and him talking to me when I came out to your house. He was a great one that will be missed and we will toast him that way, may all his marks be flyers that he pins. He no longer has to give up the bird (you know what I mean).

Maybe there are CPA's on this site that can supply some helpful advise. If you sell a litter of pups and claim the income, then you should be able to claim the training, supplies, food, birds, kennels, etc as expenses if this is a "business". How do others handle this situation? Has anyone been audited in this area?

I too watched his speech.
Why is it that the press and the "people" of our country need to know so many details of the decisions that our goverment makes with regards to our military or National Security?
Do you really think that it would be advantages of our Pres. Obama or General ??? to list the exact details of everything that we(U.S.)is planning to do?
Surprise has always been the best move when it comes to any game or military action.
The popular vote voted in office our current President.
Shouldn't we now trust him with his decision making???
Just saying...............:)
Popping a big bag of popcorn for your responses to go along with the "Golden Thread". Think I might need my own pair of rose-colored glasses for that one though.;-)


text: All the suggestions to let a pro run first so he can get to the Open sounds good. Reality is that all the pros are already at the Open. This means that the people with a derby dog and no place to go are sitting at the derby. They will oftentimes run early regardless what their drawn number is.


text: Just stopping by to brag about my first merriam turkey. Ive spent a lot of days calling and walking,looking for birds.This mornin I caught on running in front of me. I just jumped out of the pickup and smoked him at about 10yds.what a thrill to finally be able to call my wife with the good news.i think she was beginning to lose faith in me.hope to hear from you other SD boys.

Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Three Minute Thesis competition returns to Laurier
Feb 27/14| For Immediate Release
Michael Bittle, Communications Coordinator
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO Graduate students put months, or even years, of work into their research. But what happens when theyre challenged to boil all that research down to a three-minute presentation?
On March 4, masters and doctoral students at Laurier will be getting to the point at the universitys second-annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition. The contest gives participants just three minutes and a single, static PowerPoint slide to present their research to a panel of non-expert judges. The judges select a winner based on how well the speaker communicates with and engages their audience, which has little or no prior knowledge on the subject matter.
"The 3MT® helps graduate students develop the capacity to explain their research effectively and succinctly to a general audience," said Joan Norris, dean: Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Last years participants inspired us with the scope of their scholarship and their ability to communicate complex ideas simply and meaningfully.
This years competition will feature 30 Laurier graduate students from a variety of disciplines. Examples of participating students and their research include:
- Scott Mitchell, Master of Science in Integrative Science: Zombies in Bacterial Genomes: Analysing Defective Bacteriophage.
- Janice Edwards, PhD in History: Mau Mau and Mississippi: Rights and race in the Cold War World.
- Sarah Dougall, Master of Science in Kinesiology: Through Their Eyes - Police Response to Mental Health Calls."
For a full schedule of presentations, including all the presenters and their research topics, click here.
Master of Education student Tracy Bachellier won Lauriers first 3MT® competition in March, 2013 with her presentation Parent and Family Engagement: Practice in Pedagogy.
Without a doubt, the 3MT® competition was a challenging experience, said Bachellier. It forced me to narrow down the exact essence of my research; what I am doing and why it is important. Participating in 3MT® gave my research clarity and gave me confidence in talking about and promoting my research.
This years winner and runner up will receive cash prizes and serve as Lauriers representatives at the Ontario 3MT® competition at McMaster University on April 25. Two honourable mentions will also receive cash prizes.
Lauriers 3MT® competition will be held on March 4 from 9 a.m. 12 p.m. in the Paul Martin Centre on the universitys Waterloo campus. The event is free and open to the public. For more information visit: wlu.ca/gradstudies/3MT. To view the 2013 finalists presentations, click here.
The 3MT® competition was first held in 2008 at The University of Queensland in Queensland, Australia. It has since spread to 12 countries including Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Lauriers 3MT® is organized by Lauriers Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and Writing Centre, with support provided by the Graduate Students' Association through the Graduate Enhancement Fund.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly blocked (ischemic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into the spaces surrounding brain cells (hemorrhagic stroke). Brain cells die when they no longer receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood or when there is sudden bleeding into or around the brain. Ischemic stroke is the most frequent cause of stroke and is responsible for about 80 percent of strokes. These blockages stem from three conditions: the formation of a clot within a blood vessel of the brain or neck, called thrombosis; the movement of a clot from another part of the body such as the heart to the neck or brain, called embolism; or a severe narrowing of an artery in or leading to the brain, called stenosis.
(Source: Adapted from http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/stroke/preventing_stroke.htm#Risk%20Factors)
A TIA (transient ischemic accident) is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces temporary stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage. The symptoms occur rapidly and last only a short period of time, usually less than 5 minutes. TIAs are significant because they signal that a stroke is likely to occur. More than one-third of people who have a TIA will suffer a stroke in days, weeks, or even months later. A TIA should never be ignored. If symptoms appear, CALL 9-1-1 TO GET MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY. A doctor should determine if a TIA or stroke has occurred, or if it's another medical problem with similar symptoms. Prompt medical or surgical attention to these symptoms could prevent a fatal or disabling stroke from occurring.

I know he brought us a National Title last season but Rick Pitino's inability to beat UK and John Calipairi is starting to wear on my nerves. And I've been over these midget guards he likes to use for a couple of seasons now. Just give me a shooting guard over 6'2".
Next year moving into the ACC is going to be rough on us. Step back up in weight class and we lose Hancock, Smith, Van Treese, and Harrell (he's gone for to the draft). We've got a good recruiting class coming in but the two 7 footers we have in it won't be ready physically to play next season. Our starting guards next season will still be short; Chris Jones at 5'9" and Terry Rozier at 6'2". Maybe Rick will play Wayne Blackshear (6'5") at the 2 some since we have hell of a small forward in Shaqquan Aaron coming in next season.
Next season will be a bit..bumpy.
Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.
losing gill to an ankle was huge for uva...couldn't match up with their bigs anymore and it killed em...sucks...hell of a season for my boys
Caulley-Stein is likely out for UK today so I really don't like their chances against Michigan. I'm pulling for UConn today because it would really be cool if UF had a chance to avenge their only two losses on the year in the Final Four.
Support NAFTA!
Man our guards just got destroyed tonight. I'd like to know how hurt Wilbekin was because he didn't look like he should have been in the game. Kasey Hill was very busy turning the ball over all game. Frazier was a non-factor after the first few minutes. Unreal.
….Annnd there goes my bracket.

Family: Accipitridae, Hawks and Eagles view all from this family
Description ADULT Has uniformly blackish plumage except for tail, which is banded above and below. Legs, feet, and cere are yellow. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but tail is gray with narrow, darker barring.
Dimensions Length: 18 1/2 -21 1/2" (47-55 cm); Wngspn: 4' (1.2 m)
Habitat Rather scarce summer visitor to dry, wooded valleys and riparian woodland in southern states; winters in Central America.
Observation Tips Search for soaring birds riding morning thermals, but beware confusion with Turkey Vulture.
Range Southwest, Texas, California, Plains
Voice Mostly silent.
Similar Species Common Black-Hawk Buteogallus anthracinus (W 44-47 in) has similar adult plumage when perched, but entirely different outline in flight: wings are extremely broad and rounded and tail is very short and typically widely fanned. Adult is blackish, except for single broad white band on upper tail (above and below). Juvenile is brown and streaked; tail has many narrow and wavy dark bands. Scarce summer visitor to southern Utah and Texas wetlands.
Discussion Large, dark raptor. Rather long tail is banded black and white in adult birds. Wings are long and an even width; in all birds flight feathers are paler than rest of body and soaring birds (wings held stiffly in a shallow"V") could be confused with Turkey Vulture. Note, however, Zone-tailed's banded (adult) or barred (juvenile) tail (uniformly grayish in Turkey Vulture) and thicker neck. Sexes are similar.

Dalton Man Killed in Cheshire Crash
CHESHIRE, Mass. — A Dalton teen was killed early Friday morning in a single-car accident on Fred Mason Road that injured four others.
Robert Pearson, 19, a passenger in the vehicle, was transported by ambulance to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, where he was pronounced deceased.
According to state police from the Cheshire Barracks, the crash occurred at about 12:52 a.m.
Preliminary investigation by Trooper Timothy Cooper indicates that a 2009 Nissan Altima operated by a 19-year-old Adams man was traveling south on Fred Mason Road when, for reasons still under investigation, it veered off the west side of the road. The Altima, which had a total of five occupants, collided with trees and rolled over onto its roof.
Two other passengers, a 22-year-old North Adams man and a 30-year-old North Adams man, suffered serious injuries and were transported to Berkshire Medical Center. The operator and another passenger, a 19-year-old woman from North Adams, suffered minor injuries and were transported to BMC as well.
The crash remains under investigation by Troop B with assistance from the state police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, Crime Scene Services Section and Detective Unit for Berkshire County. Also aiding at the scene were Cheshire Police, the Cheshire Fire Department, and the Adams Ambulance, North Adams Ambulance, and County Ambulance companies.
Both lanes of Fred Mason Road were closed for five hours to accommodate the rescue response and crash investigation. No further information is being released at this time.
A youcaring.com page has been set up to help the family defray the impending expenses.
Hoosac Valley Valedictorian Dies After Bicycling Accident
CHESHIRE, Mass. — A Hoosac Valley High School valedictorian died Saturday, four days after being struck by an elderly driver while riding her bicycle in Rhode Island.
Mary E. Wilk, 22, was hit while riding along Route 1 near Jerry Brown Farm Road in South Kingstown, R.I., on July 26.
According to South Kingstown Police, she was northbound on her bike when she was struck from behind by a car operated by 88-year-old Claire Archambault of South Kingstown.
She died at Rhode Island Hospital on Saturday, July 30, as the result of the injuries sustained from the crash.
Wilk, the daughter of Joseph and Nancy Wilk, was valedictorian of the Hoosac Valley class of 2012 and active in sports and clubs at the school. She was class president and member of the student council, and was involved in track, cross country and the Nordic ski teams, and basketball and soccer.
She graduated from the University of Vermont with a bachelor of science in microbiology and was currently a research assistant at Miriam Hospital in Providence, R.I.
Police say the accident is still under investigation and that drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the crash.
This is the second tragedy to strike Hoosac's class of 2012 in a week. Wilk's classmate Ethan Piaggi-Cornell was killed in a motor vehicle accident on Thursday on Route 8 in Adams.
Multiple Berkshire County Schools Subject Of Bomb Threat
Collision Involving B Bus Closes Route 8 in Cheshire
CHESHIRE, Mass. — Route 8 was closed to traffic in Cheshire early Thursday afternoon because of a major accident involving a bus and Ford Taurus. State police were reporting "multiple injuries, some serious."
According to scanner reports, three people were considered "critical" and four as minor injuries. The accident occurred just after noontime near the crosswalk just north of Lanesborough Road.
The southbound Berkshire Regional Transit Authority bus veered off the road and into the front yard of a white house on the east side. Both vehicles sustained major front-end damage.
Cheshire Fire Assistant Chief Michael Biagini confirmed seven people total from both the Taurus and the bus were taken to the hospital. He did not know how many people were on the bus at the time and did not know if those in the car were wearing seat belts.
Berkshire Gas was contacted because the bus came to rest next to the gas meter on the house.
"The homeowner was home at the time in the house but was uninjured," Biagini said "They're building a temporary wall inside the house before we can remove the bus."
He referred further questions to the district attorney's office.
A motorist several cars behind the bus said he had come through the light at West Mountain Road and was at about Cheshire Liquor Center when the crash occurred.
"As we got by the driveway, there was a big poof of smoke ... The cars in front pulled over, I pulled over, and they got out and ran up," he said.
The driver said he did not see the accident occur because the bus had just pulled around the slight bend in the road toward the lake and the view was blocked.
Four or five ambulances responded to the scene, he said.
Traffic was beginning to move at about 1:23 p.m.
Village Truck Sales towing was on the scene, but the house had to be secured before the bus can be removed.
We have contacted BRTA for a statement on the incident.

Cheshire Police Seeking Information on Playground Vandalism
CHESHIRE, Mass. — The Cheshire Police Department is asking for residents with any information to contact the station about vandalism at the school playground.
According to a post Monday afternoon on the department's Facebook page the new playground equipment at Cheshire Elementary school has been vandalized.
The post read:
"Someone has vandalized the new playground equipment that numerous volunteers spent countless hours erecting. Now those same volunteers are spending their Columbus Day scrubbing and cleaning the equipment."
The police are investigating and urge residents with any information call the cruiser cell phone at 413-446-3920 or the station at 413-743-1501 and leave a message.
"In such a close tight knit Community, we cannot allow for this to happen again," read the post. "Thanks for your help and a BIG thanks to the volunteers over there cleaning it up."
Last year the Cheshire Parent-Teacher Group inquired of the Selectmen about the possibility of replacing old equipment.
The playground committee needed to raise $12,000 for the equipment that would be matched by the playground developer.
After receiving a William and Margery Barrett Fund grant for $8,000, in addition to $4,000 of raised money, the playground committee was able to install the playground.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Bought it in May for a caving trip, but the trip was called off. Went to use it last week for the first time after buying it in May and it completely malfunctioned! It's developed a mind of its own, deciding if/ when it wants to turn on or off, if at all. Pretty inconvenient when your underground! Never got to put it though it's paces and now the return deadline has expired. Very-very annoying!!
Best Headlamp Ive Had!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had the x-shot for 5 years now and I love it. The different modes are great for working with your hands up close to spotting animals at a distance. The high power focus beam is extremely bright and works better than some spotlights that I have used. With 215 lumens its a powerful light but it also out performs many headlamps that advertise higher lumens. 3 AA's power this headlamp and last for a long time which also makes it easier to keep a few on hand instead of having to worry about recharging. I have both the x-shot and the t-base and love them both.
Recently I noticed that the headband was stretching out and would not stay snug. With most things I buy I always want to buy something that is built to last and for 5 years of heavy use this one took a beating. I researched online hoping to find spare headbands but couldnt find anything. I emailed Mammut customer service and immediately got a response that they would check on a spare headband. Within 5 days I received a brand new updated band and now it is good as new! I expect to get at least another 5 years out of this lamp! I would recommend the x-shot to anyone that is looking for a solid built genuine product with a company that has great customer service.
No red mode.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this headlamp and ended up ordering the Black Diamond Icon because it seemed like a similar lamp with red mode included, as this one doesn't actually have a red mode. The Black Diamond Icon, which is rated at 320 lumens, is significantly darker than this one. The X-Shot it incredibly bright. Far brighter than its rating would suggest. I know that there are all kinds of factors that go into perceived brightness, and that some lights with more lumens are perceived as darker because of beam focus, but none of that really matters here. The Mammut X-Shot has an extremely bright focused spot beam, and a very bright flood mode with the side LEDs lit as well. The Black Diamond Icon has no true spot beam at all. At its brightest it seems to be 50% of the X-Shot. The Icon is also quite a bit heavier, even without the batteries loaded. The Icon is simply a poorly designed light compared to the X-Shot. I ended up returning the Icon and kept the X-Shot. I'll probably get a small red keychain LED light to use in my tent. (To be clear, I did indeed order the 320 lumen 2015 model for the Icon. Not the older 200~ lumen model.)
The X-Shot would be the perfect headlamp if it had a red mode.
Also, the light only has a 2 year warranty, per the papers that came with it. I don't know why this page lists it as having a lifetime warranty.

Better than your car headlights
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For best results, wash the windshield first. Then find an empty road, turn off your lights, and give it a shot with this thing on full power.
I picked this up back in 2011 because I wanted an alpine capable lamp that I could also ski pow with at night. My job as night park crew got that much better when it was snowing, but the hill lights limited where I could see, and this was the solution.
I've used the spotlight twice to illuminate the trail for people who didn't bring lamps. It's also prime for night navigation and avoiding gaping holes in glaciers while trying to stay on route.
Some high powered lamps feel like overkill when cooking. The settings on this one are perfect, and the addition of red modes only adds to that.
If I were to rate mine, I'd give it four stars. But since they've fixed the battery pack adjustment and added the red mode, it's a definite five.
Added bonus: when your idiot friends start the "I'm going to blind you with my Tikka" game, you'll be able to retaliate with much heavier artillery.
Best Headlamp Yet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this headlamp a few years ago after being frustrated by cheap headlamps that break, eat batteries, and are never bright enough. This headlamp runs on 4 AA batteries, which avoids a dependence on charging for long expeditions. Did I mention the batteries last forever. I used this for a whole summer while guiding in the bob marshal wilderness and did not need to replace the batteries. Other features that I like are the light options. Dims, brights, beem, and flashing red lights on the back of the battery pack for biking or other added visability activities. The only downside that I have found is the large battery pack can be uncomfortable when laying down in the tent and reading.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you should be able to slide the battery pack (and/or possibly the light) across the headband. You can position them both in the front, or headlamp in front and battery on the side.
A note on the battery pack:
As mentioned in the specs, it's 3 AAs. Which doesn't at all diminish the battery life that Nathan mentions.
Michal, the newer design has clips along the band for the wire routing. Older designs had the wire run under a sewn on flap on the band, and with the adjustment hardware on the other side, it wasn't possible. Looks like Mammut saw that coming.
I'm wondering how stable this would be on my head if I were to use it trail running. I have an approximately 5 year old Tikka2 (I think) that simply doesn't throw enough light and I'm often concerned going downhill. But this probably weights about twice as much so the question is whether it can fit snuggly enough to stay put. Other lamps with a 3rd strap might not have that issue.

TDK EB750 Headphones
" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum.

Last night, the 46th annual Country Music Association Awards brought out the big guns in the form of cleavage, sparkles, and people non-country music fans have actually heard of. There were sequins, leopard print, big hair, and many, many hats. And yes, there was Taylor Swift trying her damnedest not to look smug. Let's take a look.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
With division tournaments scheduled to begin next week, some area basketball teams are going through the biggest gauntlets they can find to get prepared for a playoff run.
Class 1A Biggersville is traveling up the road in Alcorn County tonight to take on 4A rival Corinth.
Biggersville (20-5) opens the week at No. 3 in the Daily Journal's rankings. Corinth is No. 7. Both teams lost in the MHSAA state finals last March.
"We wanted to play up right here, play real tough teams like that," Biggersville coach Cliff Little said. "We talk about being a January, February and March team. We're in February trying to get to March. If we take care of business, I think we have a shot."
Corinth (19-6) and Biggersville had a battle in the Alcorn County Tournament. Corinth won by nine and lost its first division game of the season at Shannon last week only to beat No. 2 Baldwyn there Friday.
Little said his team's biggest concern tonight is Corinth big man Raheem Sorrell.
"The big boy is a load," Little said. "We match up well except there. They're playing well, obviously to beat Badlwyn, they're probably playing the best they have this year.
"We're not overlooking anybody at all. I'm happy where we are but there's definitely room for improvement.
We'll find out (tonight) a lot about that."
Baldwyn won 19 straight games to open the season but has dropped two of its last five, to Booneville in the Prentiss County championship and against Corinth Friday.
The Bearcats get an anticipated rematch with top-ranked Booneville at Baldwyn Thursday.
No. 8 Amory and No. 5 Mooreville are getting one last test in too. The Troopers are fresh off a big division win at Aberdeen and can clinch the division's top seed with a win tonight at South Pontotoc. Amory and Mooreville meet Friday at Mooreville.

Where I stayed
We arrived to a cold and wet Helsinki. A rain storm was over the city and kept up a steady drizzle for most of the day. With a temperature in the high 40's it was a cold and wet day in city on the Baltic Sea. The luck of the White Lady was absent today. So we bundled up with our warmest rain outfits including umbrellas and made our way into the city for our adventure in Finland.
We caught the 3T Tram and purchased 2 all day passes
As we exited the Rock Church, the rain kept on coming down. Not a hard heavy rain just a good drenching drizzle of a rain. But today we were not walking as much and the tram would soon whisk us away to the outdoor market a couple of miles away. It was a large market area like a Farmer's Market but add in fish and tourist items. Today with the rain, the market was much smaller than it normally was on dry days. To see an Outdoor Market means that you need to go outdoors and see it. We did see all of the sights in spite of the weather. So we got off the tram and entered the market. We walked thru the market and marveled that there could be fresh vegetables in this cold weather, but we soon learned the some of the vegetables came from other countries in the European Union that were located to the south of Finland
Across the street from the Outdoor Market was the City Hall for Helsinki. It is a light blue building that sits beside the harbor and occupies a full block in width. There is a height restriction of seven stories in Helsinki so some of the buildings were built wider and deeper to accommodate the occupants that work and live in the buildings. Looking to the right of the City Hall is the Uspenski Cathedral which is the largest Russian Orthodox Cathedral outside of Russia. It sits on a hill overlooking the harbor. We walked to the church and toured the inside of the building. It is similar to Catholic Cathedrals with the artworks and ornate furnishings. The Uspenski Cathedral is one of the two largest churches in the city. The other church is the Temppeliaukion Kirkko, a Lutheran Church just a few blocks away. It is similar in that it is an immense structure that dominates the cityscape around the church. It also sits high above the surrounding city. But inside, it is different; the Lutheran Church is elegant but plain on the interior. Much like the teachings of Luther, the church is functional. But the design and grandeur of the building is evident even if the ornate furnishings are not there. And the rains began to lessen and become a little erratic. So we decided to walk to the Central Train station located in City Center. Our port lecturer had told us he believes the Train Station to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the city
As the rain was gone for the day, we took the opportunity to walk back to the harbor and the waiting White Lady. The walk back was very good as we were able to see many building and parks that treated us with great architecture and lovely, though not yet green parks. As we reached the harbor area, we were at the Indoor Market which is like the Outdoor Market, but yes it is indoors. It also is like a large farmer's market with produce, fish catch, eating and tourist shops lining the two isles of the building. We stayed a short time to walk and observe all of the vegetables and fish items that filled most of the building. To this was added eating stalls that sold soups and fish. Yes, Helsinki is a city on the sea and like a most cities on the water; it is famous for its fish food. As we left the market we were but a few blocks from our ship.
The ship departed the harbor in daylight and we were able to see the many small islands and buildings including a large fort that guards the entrance to the harbor
We saw Helsinki during a rain
Where is Harriet? Hunt
Today Harriet is in the Indoor Market is shopping while she is waiting for you to find her.

Emily Kame Kngwarreye
Alhalkere Paintings from Utopia
This survey exhibition pays tribute to Emily Kame Kngwarreye, a traditional ceremonial artist from a remote desert community who emerged this decade as one of Australias great modern painters.
Kngwarreye died on 2 September 1996. She was a senior member of the Anmatyerre clan, and a custodian of the Dreaming sites in Alhalkere, her paternal clan country in Utopia, a tract of land 250 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs. Kngwarreye was about 70 when she began making art for public display, and she became prolific, producing an estimated 3000 works in eight years. But her spectacular public career was not an overnight phenomenon; it had its roots in a lifetime of making art for ceremonial and everyday purposes. Her batik and acrylic paintings reveal her proficiency as a major traditional artist and custodian of the country of her birth, Alhalkere.
This exhibition charts the evolution of Kngwarreyes short, intensive public career; from early batik works to her final 1996 canvases. Her relationship with the country is revealed as a constant thread connecting her first works with her last.
The artists life
Emily Kame Kngwarreye was born early this century, probably around 1910. No specific date is known as Aboriginal births were not compulsorily recorded until the 1960s. She was born on the eastern edge of her fathers country, Alhalkere and grew up in the traditional Alhalkere way, absorbing the spirit of the country. An important part of her education was learning awelye or womens business, ceremonies associated with womens social structure and ritual knowledge. Awelye also describes the painted designs and images associated with womens rituals.
When Alhalkere and surrounding clan lands were annexed by pastoral leases during the 1920s, Kngwarreye and her people were forced to work for pastoralists. She worked chiefly at Woodgreen Station looking after domestic animals, but also led camel trains and even worked at the Wolfram mine in return for rations.
As well as being a ceremonial leader, Kngwarreye was active in the land rights movement. In 1979 she played an important role in the return of Utopia Station, a 2000 square kilometre cattle property, to her people, the traditional owners.
In 1977 Kngwarreye, with some other women from Utopia, attended a bush workshop to learn about batik. This was her first experience with non-indigenous materials and techniques. The following year the women formed the Utopia Womens Batik Group which became known for beautiful, fluid designs on silk. It was with this group that Kngwarreye made her first trip to Adelaide in 1981, accompanying the exhibition Floating Forests of Silk. In 1988 Kngwarreye had her first experience of painting in acrylics on canvas and she quickly adapted the techniques and iconography of batik to this new and more direct creative process.
Kngwarreye first drew widespread attention when her acrylic paintings were displayed in Sydney in 1989. Soon after she was awarded a community based artist-in-residency project from the Robert Holmes à Court Foundation and the following year, 1990, her first commercial solo exhibition was mounted at Utopia Art, Sydney. In 1992 she was awarded the prestigious Australia Councils Australian Artists Creative Fellowship and travelled to Canberra to receive the award. She visited the National Gallery of Australia on this occasion. Finally, after her death in 1996, Kngwarreyes work represented Australia at the 1997 Venice Biennale.
The artists inspiration
Emily Kngwarreyes paintings are a response to the land and the spiritual forces which imbue it; the contours and formations of the landscape, climatic changes, the parched earth and flooding rains, the shapes and patterns of seeds and plants.
Kngwarreye first became a painter as a young woman embarking upon her ritual education. She learnt about awelye designs while painting on the bodies of women about to take part in a ceremony. Awelye refers to the ceremonial world of women, or womens business, and includes womens ceremonial body designs. It also might refer to a particular ceremony and the designs songs and dances associated with it. The striped design painted on the breasts and neckline of ceremonial dancers seems to be the inspirational starting point for many of Kngwarreyes paintings.
Ceremonial cycles are
held for individual ancestors. In 1990 Kngwarreye listed the following designs
as those over which she had authority:
Arlatyeye (pencil yam); Arkerrthe (mountain devil lizard); Ntange (grass seed); Tingu (dingo pup); Ankerre (emu); Intekwe (plant that emus like); Antwerle (green bean) and Kame (yam seed). Thats what I paint; whole lot.
Only the component parts are listed, not the complex interrelationship between them. Whole lot, which alone can be experienced through her painting, is her entire body of knowledge communicated subconsciously through the interplay of line, colour, movement, space and light.
Alhalkere country
Alhalkere is the name of the country of Emily Kame Kngwarryes father and grandfather. It gained its name from a rock formation of the same name, eroded away from the escarpment. Kngwarreye painted Alhalkere from a traditional perspective, surveying her landscape with a spiritual eye. Her role was to learn its ancient history and all its physical characteristics as well as the responsibilities associated with maintaining the continuity of the land. Alhalkere is the home to the Yam Dreaming site from which Kngwarreye takes her bush name, Kame. Yam seed was therefore one of her most important Dreamings.
The linear appearance of plants and tracks from her country are another source of inspiration for both her earlier batik paintings and her acrylic paintings on canvas. From her earliest works to her final canvases there is a conceptual and a physical continuity. Kngwarreye indicated that she was aware that her art dealt with transcendent realities as much as physical landscape realities. However whether her batiks and paintings carried elaborate encoded creation stories remains a mystery as she was remarkably and consistently silent when asked to talk about her art.
The evolving art of Emily Kngwarreye
For the first 11 or so years of her public artistic career, from 1977 until 1988, Emily Kngwarreye worked in the traditional Indonesian resist technique called batik. Introduced to the women of Utopia in the late 1970s as part of an adult education program, this collaborative and communal activity was immediately popular with Aboriginal women artists. It was low tech. and could be done outdoors. Generally the silk or cotton was stretched over the artists knees, the fluid wax heated in pots, pans and hubcaps over open fires.
From the beginning, Emily Kngwarreyes work displayed a raw vigour and a sinuous energy, which made her work stand out from the others. Interconnecting and layered lines and dots, plant and other figurative forms and cell like structures, combined to display her control over the flowing wax and overlayed dyes.
These early works displayed a vocabulary of marks, dots, lines of dots, lines of different widths, interconnected and overlayed, which she developed and explored in her later acrylic paintings. In both media, wax and paint, Kngwarreyes iconography remained constant.
Acrylic painting
Her first painting in 1988 was called Emu Woman. It immediately attracted the attention of the commercial art world in an exhibition at the S.H Ervin Gallery in Sydney. The energetic, dynamic, overall design of dots along lighter lines on a dark background created a sensation and almost overnight Kngwarreye was recognised as an artist to collect.
Kngwarreye tended to paint in series of works of a similar style. After the Emu Woman style she commenced a series of paintings with surfaces densely packed with dots with more dots within them.
Another stylistic shift took place when she began to use large brushes. She worked faster and more loosely and on a larger scale. Sometimes she made lines from sequential dots dragging the brush while she dotted; her upper body moving like that of a dancer. The lines themselves snaking across the canvas are reminiscent of the sinuous forms of yam tubers and plants.
During the early 1990s Kngwarreye began to use larger canvases, brighter jewel-like colours, pinks, blues, reds. Dots become lines, blurring and overlapping in spatially complex compositions. Her first suite of paintings, 25 small canvases, hung together to create a massive explosion of colour, was created in 1992. The similar Alhalkere Suite in the collection of the National Gallery was painted in 1993. Full of light, bright pastel pink and blue colour, the lineal structure of her earlier work was obliterated entirely by lines and patches of merging dots.
At the beginning of 1994 Emily Kngwarreye developed a new direction in her work in which she used the lineal forms of body designs and scarification marks as the primary source for her paintings. She had used lines before and then gradually submerged them under skeins of dots. Now she presented the art world with simple, bold compositions of parallel lines in strong dark colours. The paintings in this exhibition reflect the journey of the line in her work. Horizontal, vertical, parallel, thin, thick, dark, light, smooth, jagged, centrifugal. The web-like traceries of the yam, some in black and white are masterpieces of strength and simplicity.
Finally in a burst of energy, her scribble phase led to atmospheric paintings, where line and dot were replaced by patches and drifts of colour.
The linear markings of grasses, yams, roots and tracks form lines of continuity connecting Kngwarreyes last works with her first. First revealed as spidery linear clusters in the early batiks, lines re-emerge in her late works, shortly before her death, as rapid multicoloured scribbles. This visible continuum represents metaphorically the unity between skin and soil, people and country, a timeless connection between Emily Kngwarreye with her country Alhalkere.
The exhibition
The exhibition of 89 major works includes batiks, acrylic paintings on canvas and works of art on paper. Included are important works which signal a stylistic change of direction and others that provide important interconnections. Arranged chronologically and grouped stylistically, this exhibition enables the visitor to appreciate the subtle changes which took place over Emily Kame Kngwarreyes brief public artistic career.
Preparation and activities for primary school students
Before a visit
To better understand the context of Emily Kngwarreyes work, have the students research and prepare posters on the central and western desert region and the people who live there. The posters might cover some of the following topics:
The environment
· Find a map of Australia showing the states and the Northern Territory. Mark in Darwin, the desert area, Alice Springs, and some of the major towns or communities near it including Utopia, Papunya, Yuendumu and Hermannsburg.
· Find pictures of the desert and describe the landforms, weather conditions, plants and animals.
The people
· When did European people first arrive in the area and what have they used the land for?
· How do the Aboriginal people in this area live today? Find out about the languages spoken, ceremonies, and the roles of men and women.
The art of the Aboriginal people
· What types of materials do artists of the central and western desert use? Are these different from the materials used by other Aboriginal communities, for example Arnhem Land?
· When and how was acrylic painting introduced to the desert communities?
· What is batik?
· Discuss the role of painting in Aboriginal communities. Look at the different forms of ceremonial art body painting, sand drawings, etc and at painting for public viewing.
Background on the art of Emily Kngwarreye
· Using the teachers notes, discuss the biography of the artist.
During a visit to the
A photocopied worksheet will be available on request for students to use in the exhibition.
Post-visit activities
Suggested activities inspired by viewing the exhibition:
· Students collect leaves, roots, seeds, flowers from the garden and use them to create a multi layered design. Use line only.
· Look at the layout of the school and surrounds. Students make a map of the area, then paint an image which uses this map as an underlying structure.
· Students make drawings of the ingredients for a typical meal at home. Create a design using these shapes and textures. Wax resist (crayons or candles) might be used.
Preparation and activities for secondary school students
Before a visit
Using resources from the list at the end of these notes, as well as the school and local libraries and the internet, students could:
· write a short biography of Emily Kngwarreye
· write about the main inspirations for her work
· describe her environment and the connection she had with it
· find information about the location and environment of Utopia and the central and western desert generally
· research the land rights movement in this area, for example the return of Utopia Station to its traditional owners
· find information about Aboriginal artists of the central and western desert
· research the origins of the public art of the desert, and its growth in recognition in the Australian and international art worlds.
During a visit to the
There will be a photocopied worksheet available for students to use within the exhibition.
Post-visit activities
· How do you determine your country? Produce an illustrated description of your country.
· Research the methods of body decoration used by different cultures around the world (include your own local culture). Compare them with ceremonial body art from the desert.
· Paint a series of small works using the same subject matter. Change the size of brush or make your own brushes.
· Collect a variety of seeds and use them as a basis for an artwork. Use repetition and magnification.
· Find out about batik.

Marriner's Lady Piper of Coratank "Piper" JH
We had three children all grown along with now grandchildren and great grandchildren. All were taught at a early age by their respective parents to respect firearms. At present only a daughter has any serious interest in guns and hunting.. However all without exception still support firearms safety including a grandson who is on a fast track to a law enforcement career.
I never allowed a toy firearm in our house! We monitored what our children watched on TV. I never allowed play gun fights with even makeshift toy guns. My father wasn't a hunter, but, had three firearms in our house. My brothers never thought of playing with those firearms. Had a grandfather who introduced me to hunting and gun safety. My wife grew up with hunting and guns. She said she or her siblings never thought of playing with firearms.
Now from a personal standpoint. I am not a fan of public owning of. Military like firearms, but, having said that if they are legal so be it. The bad guys have them so don't have a answer. I don't know if the framers of the Constitution
With their flintlock arms could look that far into the future to see the technology of weapons. I do know the responsibility lies not with laws, lawbreakers will always break laws, but, with the institution of family!
Just one mans opinion.
My post should of went to Potus.

My wife and I have raised three children, two still live at home with us and we have have a 2 y.o. grandson in the house several days per week.
We own several guns. We have guns in gun cabinets, closets, drawers, under beds, etc. It has been this way since we married. My children were raised up shooting guns, taught gun safety, and taught to respect all weapons. My children were never curious about guns, guns were something that was, and still is, part of their everyday lives.
My two year-old grandson points to every gun in the house and says "Pop's gun". Like my children he will grow up around guns, he will be taught gun safety, he will shoot guns, he will own guns, etc. but most importantly he will be taught to value life and respect others.
One hesitates to be too prescriptive; it's your country not mine.
However there appears to be at least some common threads in incidents such as those we saw last week. The first obviously is the matter of security of guns, and the second is guns getting into the hands of those with 'personality disorders". There is surely some mileage in at least examining what can be done to improve the first and mitigate the second.
I don't go all the way with John Fallons' opinions as to criminal proceedings being taken against people who have guns stolen from them, but I think his general tone is right; as responsible gun owners we should demonstrate that status in practical terms, and that IMO includes safe and proper storage. I don't hold up the laws relating to guns in UK as a shining example, God knows I've campaigned against them for long enough, but within them are some bits that to me at least make common sense. I am required by law to ensure safe storage at home and whilst travelling. It doesn't feel like a burden. I know of a case where folks parked up outside a pub leaving gun cases on display in their vehicles. The guns were pinched, and in consequence the owners were barred from gun ownership for (I think but can't be dead sure) two years.
Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
If you are found mentally unstable by a jury of your piers you are sent to the mental ward instead of prison..I never understood this. If you are a danger to society you should be put to sleep,end of story no second chances to rape another child ,shoot another Innocent person while robbing them etc..then you'll start to see who really does have control of their actions.
I agree with Wayne Nutt ..there is no substitute for being a good parent.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
When I was little, I desperately wanted a silver plastic, pearl handled Lone Ranger cap gun. Remember the old cap guns, with little rolls of paper caps/blanks? There were guns in our house, kept in my Dad's closet and we were not allowed to touch them unless we were with Dad...and we obeyed. So...finally, I got my wish....that beautiful silver cap gun and plastic holster was mine, along with strict orders that it never, ever be pointed at anyone. I could shoot at all the pretend bad guys I wanted to, as long as I never aimed at a living thing. I think it took about a week before I pointed...not fired, just pointed...in the direction of one of my sisters, and POOF! that beautiful, pearl handled cap gun disappeared, never to be seen again. Along with that, I lost my "plinking with Dad" privileges for awhile, which hurt even more than losing my cap gun.
Funny how that respect for firearms lesson has stuck with me for the last forty five years or so. Unfortunately, most kids today have no exposure to firearms other than TV and video games, and they don't do things with their parents like we did back when. So many of life's lessons come from kids and parents actually participating in hobbies....and too many kids miss out on that today. Absentee parenting is part of the problem.
If someone breaks into my house and steals or breaks open my gun safe, I should be responsible if they kill someone using one of those guns? I don't think so. If they also steal my truck and run it into a building and kill some people, that is my fault? I don't think so.

My grandparents lived alone in the country. They kept a loaded handgun hidden in every room and a loaded .22 by the front door (to shoot gophers on sight). Six grandchildren came and visited regularly. We were all taught how to use guns, and told never to touch any of these, well, except for the .22 if we saw a gopher. My grandparents hated gophers. Not once did any accidents happen. Not once did any of the guns suddenly jump up all by themselves and begin shooting people. Just lucky I guess.
I live in the suburbs. Raised my kids the way I was raised -- to hunt and use and respect firearms. But I still keep all my guns in locked safes. My kids I trust. The neighbor kids not at all.

Don Erickson Named as SIA's New CEO at ISC Solutions' Kickoff
The Security Industry Association (SIA) announced during the kickoff to ISC Solutions on Wednesday that its government relations director, Don Erickson, has been promoted to CEO.
November 2, 2011
NEW YORK — The Security Industry Association (SIA) announced during the kickoff to ISC Solutions on Wednesday here that its government relations director, Don Erickson, has been promoted to CEO. Erickson replaces Richard Chace, who resigned from the position in April.
Erickson joined SIA in February 2006. In his role as director of government relations, he is credited for successfully implementing public policy initiatives created by SIA, such as the GSA Schedule 84 Cooperative Purchasing Program. In January, he aided in getting legislation signed by President Obama that exempts SIA member manufacturers from having to comply with Department of Energy efficiency requirements.
Erickson currently serves as SIA's representative to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Emergency Services Sector Advisory Committee and the TWIC Stakeholder Communications Committee.
"After an extensive evaluation over the past several months, the SIA Board this week unanimously decided to select Don to lead this association," outgoing SIA Chairman of the Board Gordon Hope says. "His dedication, impeccable reputation and track record of success at SIA played a large role in our ultimate decision."
Before joining SIA's government relations director, Erickson served in similar positions for Alcatel and Organization for the Promotion and Advancement of Small Telecommunications Companies. He also spent six years on the senior legislative staff of U.S. Sen. Rod Grams (R-Minn.).
"I am honored to have been selected by the SIA Board of Directors to serve as our association's CEO," Erickson says. "I look forward to working closely with the board and SIA staff to strengthen SIA's value to our membership. I share the board's commitment to working together to help SIA become a greater resource for our members."
Hope's two-year term as chairman of the board concluded this week. He will be replaced by Jay Hauhn, chief technology officer and vice president of industry relations, ADT North America.

While in all civilised countries where representative institutions prevail the tendency is to move without intermission in the direction of a broadened electoral basis, so that in several of the English colonies to-day we find manhood suffrage, or one man one vote, or adult suffrage; and while even the most backward of European countries are rapidly tending year by year towards these page: 11 conditions—we, I believe, alone among civilised people have deliberately, during the last few years, narrowed our basis,¹ and undone the progressive work of the last generation.
So also while in all enlightened countries during the past sixty years public opinion has been steadily advancing in the direction of doing away with the lash as a punishment for minor offences, we in this country have not only, during the last years, possessed certain individuals in our Legislative
¹ The Franchise Act, introduced and voted for unanimously by the last Ministry, Mr. Rhodes being Premier, raised the monetary qualification from £25 to £75 per annum.
page: 12 Councils who have striven to introduce an Act making legal the infliction of corporal punishment for the smallest offences towards master or mistress on the part of household or other servants, and which, if passed would be merely a recurrence to slavery under a new name—but this Act was voted for by three members in the last Ministry, two of them being Englishmen, and one the Premier, Mr. Cecil Rhodes.
Again, while in all civilised countries the tendency, as each country advances, is to consider more and more the welfare of its labouring classes; to remove oppressive restrictions; to en- endeavour page: 13 deavour by every lawful means to increase their wages; and to regard the labourer, not merely as a means for increasing the wealth of other sections of the community, but to legislate for his welfare, and to regard his happiness as one of the pressing considerations of the State—we in this country have, under the Glen Grey Act of last year, brought in and supported by Mr. Cecil Rhodes and his following, an enactment which compels even the self-supporting and industrious native to work for the white man for a certain time every year, whether he will or no; laying himself open to imprisonment or fine page: 14 if he refuse, even though his going out to labour for the white man should entail the neglect of his own cultivated lands.
So again, with regard to land tenure; while in all progressive countries there is a tendency to obtain and retain as large a part as possible of lands, mines, and great public works as the property of, and to be worked for the benefit of, the nation as a whole—we, in this country, are for ever and completely alienating our public lands, our minerals, our precious stones, and even our public works.
And further, not only are we alienating them within our own page: 15 boundaries, and allowing almost without a struggle a small band of Monopolists to gain possession and control of that wealth which should be ours and our children's to employ for the benefit of the nation that shall be, but we are enabling them to grasp adjacent territories still uninhabited by the white man, so that when the mass of civilised men shall enter into occupation there, they will find nothing of value left for themselves in that state which, by their labour, they will have to build up; the alien will already have set his grasp upon all that is fair or rich. For not as in other countries has the Monopolist risen up page: 16 among us, a growth of our own; he comes from a foreign clime, and sweeps bare the virgin land before him like the locust; and, like the locust, leaves nothing for his successors but the barren earth.
While in New Zealand and other advanced colonies every legislative effort is being made to retain the land for the people, we are quietly allowing ourselves to be stripped bare session after session, and are confiding our possession into the hands of the Speculator and Monopolist.
Lastly, while in enlightened countries there is a continually increasing tendency to raise the revenue, not by taxing the page: 17 primary necessaries of life, upon which almost the whole income of the labouring classes is necessarily expended, but to raise it through the taxation of luxuries, whether by means of Excise or Import dues, we in this country find that not only are our necessaries of life already taxed to an appalling extent,¹ but a heavy additional tax on wheat and flour, and an almost prohibitive tax on imported meat,² is being levied upon
¹ For instance, wheat 38 per cent., flour 59 per cent., unrefined sugar 107 per cent., butter 20 per cent., cheese 43 per cent., candles 59 per cent., paraffin 202 per cent.
So also in small matters.
In Australia, where the material welfare of the country largely depends on its wool, it has been clearly seen that to allow the land to be partially ruined by the existence of an easily eradicated disease in the stock was scandalous and immoral; and they have legislated so successfully that in certain Australian colonies the insect which causes the disease has page: 19 been exterminated. It has been felt in those countries that the man who refuses to exterminate scab in his flocks inflicts a merciless wrong and injustice upon his fellows whose flocks his own infect; and the Australians have, by stringent legislation, made such conduct impossible.
It is not necessary to say that in this country all attempts to legislate in defence of the man who endeavours to keep his flocks healthy have been crushed or emasculated.
Many other matters will suggest themselves to every one in which our legislation has shown this retrograde tendency. We have no time now to enter into page: 20 details with regard to such measures as Haarhoff's Bill, which, as introduced, was intended to make it culpable for any aboriginal native, whether a domestic servant, householder, newspaper editor, or clergyman, to be found walking on pavements in our towns; and also to make it punishable for any aboriginal native to be found out of doors within a township after nine o'clock at night unless he or she had been given a pass by the Magistrate or other authorised person—a Bill which also received the support of the existing Government.
On the whole, it is evident that no impartial mind can page: 21 look at the course of our legislation during recent years without realising the fact that while the wheels of legislation in other civilised and Anglo-Saxon communities are tending to propel the car of state forwards, ours are slowly but surely running us backwards.

Efforts to save America's rarest trout
Just released today....
Recovery Plan Out for Rarest U.S. Trout
Wed Jan 28,12:06 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!
By DON THOMPSON, Associated Press Writer
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The government is proposing a recovery plan for "the rarest trout in America" that might include poisoning a stretch of Sierra Nevada creek in an attempt to rid the threatened fish of nonnative competitors.
The Paiute cutthroat trout is native only to part of upper Silver King Creek, which flows into the Carson River south of Lake Tahoe in California's remote Alpine County.
"It's only a nine-mile stretch, so this is the rarest trout in the world, or at least the U.S.," said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Randi Thompson.
In cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Game, the federal service wants to rid an 11-mile lower section of the creek of other fish so the Paiute cutthroat can return there as well.
That would help not only the native trout, but the rare mountain yellow-legged frog, which can be wiped out by nonnative fish, the service said in the half-million dollar recovery plan released Monday. It said habitat improvements also would benefit the rare Yosemite toad.
An environmental lawsuit last year prompted the U.S. Forest Service to block a state plan to poison the 11 miles below Llewellyn Falls, which form a natural barrier to the nonnative fish migrating upstream to the area where native Paiute cutthroat live.
The suit challenged the Forest Service's decision not to complete a federal environmental review duplicating the state's review. The service now plans to include the environmental concerns in a new review to be completed this summer, Thompson said.
The poison that would be used, Rotenone, is particularly controversial in the Sierra Nevada because the state has used it unsuccessfully in four past attacks on nonnative fish.
Paiute trout were transplanted about 100 years ago into four other California waterways where pure populations survive. The species was declared endangered in 1970, but was upgraded to threatened in 1975 in part to allow fishing.
Silver King Creek is the most accessible to anglers, one reason restoration of the creek has been made a priority by federal and state officials.

Dear Guitar Hero: Lee Malia of Bring Me the Horizon Talks Gear, Inspiration, Gary Moore and More
He's the guitarist for one of England's most dangerous metalcore bands. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is …
I'm really excited to hear your new album, Sempiternal. What can you tell us about it? Will there be more solos on it than on your last album [2010's There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret]? — Gernot Musker
We have a new member in the band, [keyboardist] Jordan Fish, and he made it easy for me to write with him. Because he's doing a lot of digital stuff, like keyboard parts and making beats, I was able to do more experimental, ambient-sounding parts, using effects in verses. I liked that I didn't have to play the main rhythm riff all the time, because he did it on the keys. Overall, there's a lot more twiddly things, but not necessarily solos. I play little bits, but nothing like a classic-rock solo.
I can't seem to find an answer to why guitarist Jona Weinhofen left the band. Can you set the record straight for your fans? — Azrul Aiman Jinih Matrin
I can't. Sorry. We're not allowed to comment on it for legal reasons, so that's probably why you can't find an answer.
I have noticed your sound has changed a lot since you recorded Suicide Season [BMTH's 2008 breakthrough album]. What kind of amp setup do you use for recording now? — Jessica-Lyn Saunders
I use a Marshall JCM 800 and a Marshall speaker cabinet. My main overdrive pedal on the CD is a Klon Centaur, and that's the core of my sound. I don't use that pedal live, though. At concerts, I use a Fulltone OCD Overdrive, because the Klon is so hard to get a hold of. The one I used belonged to the studio, but the company has stopped making them. They're worth about £700 [$1,062] on eBay. The OCD is closest I can find to the Klon.
I fell in love with your First Act Custom Sheena guitar the moment I saw it. You never seem to play it anymore. You've switched to Les Paul Standards at live shows. Why did you change it up? — Mitch
It's because I started working with Gibson. They were cool enough to give me some guitars, so I started playing them live. I've still got my First Act Sheena, though, and I played it on some of the songs on the new album. My main guitars in the studio were a Les Paul Standard, the First Act Sheena and a semihollow Rickenbacker that worked great for clean sounds.
Onstage, I'm using a Les Paul Standard and a Les Paul Supreme. The songs I wrote on the Sheena sound great on the Les Paul, because I use the same pickup in each guitar: a Bare Knuckle Warpig. I love the fit of the Les Paul, as well as the thickness of the neck and the overall weight of the guitar. I use a really thick set of strings [a custom .080-gauge set from Ernie Ball], so the Les Paul's higher frets help with that.
Why do you use such massive guitar-string gauges? — Eric Bauer
I was playing normal strings for ages. We tune low, to C standard or drop-As, so I started using a .070 on the lowest string. When I got the First Act Sheena, they drilled the bridge so I could fit an .080-gauge bass string in there, and I started using that. Then Ernie Ball was cool enough to make me custom .080-gauge guitar strings, and I've been using them ever since. Since we tune so low, there is a noticeable difference in the sound of heavier gauge strings as compared to normal ones. I play a lot of single-string riffs, so the heavier strings keep it sounding solid.
When you're playing live, what is your first and last activity before and after you hit the stage? — Paulina
I usually just put my stinky show clothes on and get offended by how bad they smell, and then go onstage. And then I change out of them as fast as I can after.
What do you keep on your pedal board, and what pedal would you say is essential to your overall sound? — Eliot Day
The OCD Overdrive I mentioned before is the most essential, since it adds to my distortion. My pedal board also contains a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, so it sounds pretty tight live. And if ever I do any leads, I use a Boss DD-7 Digital Delay and a Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb. Those have been my go-to pedals for leads since Suicide Season. They're really good pedals; they might never break. They always work for me, so I've stuck with them. I have a couple Electro-Harmonix pedals, too, but I mostly just use the Boss ones.
I've been trying to get faster at shredding for solos, but I just can't get it. Do you have any tips? — Robert Maros
I'm not the best shredder in the world. I'd say to start slow and learn your basic scales and learn how to alternate-pick perfectly. Once your fingers know where they're going, you don't have to think about it. Then it's muscle memory. Just take it slow.
Why don't you play shred solos and leads anymore, like on [2006's] Count Your Blessings — Mark Castelan
I think the sound of the band has progressed. Shredding is amazing if it suits the group, but if I did a lot of sweeping on our current songs, it would probably sound like rubbish or like I was trying to show off. I'm just trying to play what the song needs. If it needs a solo, these days for us it's probably not going to be a shred solo. It will be a cool melody. I don't want to show off.

When engineering and work practice controls do not provide enough protection from workplace hazards, personal protective equipment such as respiratory protection may be necessary. However, a respirator will not provide the intended protection if employers choose the wrong type of respirator or one that doesn't fit the individual worker, or allow it to be used improperly.
The Cal/OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard covers any use of respiratory protection in the workplace. Employer requirements include a written program with designated program administrator, respirator selection procedures, medical evaluations, training, fit testing and recordkeeping. Feasible engineering and administrative controls must be implemented before an employer can resort to respiratory protection to reduce exposure below a chemical's Permissible Exposure Limit. When respirators are used to reduce exposure to particles that can cause infectious disease, additional requirements in the Cal/OSHA Aerosol Transmissible Diseases Standard may also apply.
Listed below are links to the Cal/OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard and its appendices on the Cal/OSHA website.
