With February's ice storm in Columbia County's rearview mirror, the task of clearing the debris it left is still ongoing.
The process will end quicker and smoother now that someone County officials suspect of dumping other debris on the rights of way Stevens Creek Road has been stopped.
"Stevens Creek was just a hotbed," said Pam Tucker, the County Emergency and Operations Division Director. It's a main thoroughfare coming into the county. We really need to have it all cleaned up."
The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Stolen dog taken to vet
A Grovetown man said someone stole his dog, then took it to a local veterinarian's office as their own.
The 37-year-old man said he let the dog outside to do his business on March 14, but the dog never returned. The man said he got a call on March 20 from an animal recovery service, which stated his dog had been located and he needed to contact the Grovetown Animal Clinic.
Members of Columbia County's Hazardous Materials Response Team trained for nearly a decade to make sure they are prepared for chemical emergencies.
They were tested Tuesday when a tractor trailer full of potentially dangerous chemicals caught fire in a crowded shopping center parking lot.
"We've had small incidents, but this is the first time we've had to deploy the (entire) team," Columbia County Fire Rescue Special Operations Batt. Chief Danny Kuhlmann said.
Stalker watches woman at work
A woman called authorities Wednesday claiming a man has been stalking her at work.
ATLANTA -- Columbia County ranked in the top 10 healthiest counties in the state, according to a 2014 ranking released Wednesday. Once again, suburban counties are the healthiest in Georgia, while rural counties remain the least healthy.
Forsyth is ranked the healthiest county in Georgia in 2014, followed by Fayette, Oconee, Gwinnett, and Cherokee. The rankings were reported in the fifth annual County Health Rankings, from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
First Responders Appreciation Day
8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, Minnick Park, 1850 Kissingbower Road; breakfast, lunch and dinner served for all first responders – police, firefighters, 911 operators, EMTs, marshals, Richmond County Board of Education public safety officers, military police, state troopers, off duty law enforcement officers and rescue workers, retired military, disabled veterans, Georgia Power workers from Ice Storm Pax
Diane Schuur concert
Harlem Department of Public Safety Chief Gary Jones said he'd rather head into a gun fight than jump into a pool of cold water, but he did it anyway Thursday as part of the viral polar plunge challenge.
"I'd rather face a car load of illegal aliens with sawed-off shotguns," Jones said as he stood on the edge of a friend's pool ready to accept the challenge.
He dived into the 57-degree water not to fulfill the challenge, but to raise money for 5-year-old Addysen Busby, who needs surgery to cope with a recent illness.
Funeral plans are incomplete for former Columbia County News-Times sports editor Mike Howell, who was found slain at his North Carolina home March 22.
Arrangements are being handled by his ex-wife, Kristina Rester, who said Thursday that plans included a cremation and funeral service in Augusta, but nothing could progress until after North Carolina authorities released his body.
Meanwhile, their 17-year-old daughter, Crystal Brooke Howell, remained in the Richmond County jail, awaiting extradition to North Carolina to face murder charges in her father's slaying.
One of Columbia County's last full-time government offices in Appling will soon be just another chapter of history in the historic county seat.
Interim Tax Commissioner Steve Adams announced this week that the satellite tax office in Appling – the one that for most of its existence served as the county's main tax office – will close Friday, April 4.
After that date, taxpayers from Appling and the other communities in the western part of Columbia County will need to travel to Evans to attend to property tax and motor vehicle tax issues.
Columbia County authorities are trying to identify two men they say used a fraudulent check to buy a $9,000 diamond ring from a Martinez jewelry store.

Silva asks Angulo and trainer to stop accusations
Photo: Box Latino
"Don't look towards the past because you can't change ," with that message the up and coming prospect Jorge "Pantera" Silva asked former world champion Alfredo "Perro" Angulo and his trainer Virgil Hunter to stop alluding that he took banned substances prior to their December 15, 2012, brawl held in Los Angeles, California. The rumors have bothered the Tijuana fighter so that he has come out publicly to ask Angulo to concentrate on his next fight set for this Saturday, June 8th, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, against Cuban Erislandy Lara for the interim WBA super welterweight title.
"I think he should stop his crying and concentrate on his career just like I have done with mine… if it hurt him so much that I exposed him, here I am for whenever he wants to do it again," Silva stated.
He mentioned that he is willing to face him again but if the second time happens, it will be under different circumstances since he would expect more than a week of warning and without having to drop nearly twenty pounds like he did the first time.
"I wasn't in shape but even then, the 'puppy' couldn't hurt me," he responded when he was told the comments Angulo made recently in an interview regarding their fight.
This is not the first time Angulo or his trainer Virgil Hunter have declared to the media regarding their suspicions, something that bothers Silva. Fed up with their accusations, Silva stated that if the rematch happens, which he doubts, he would be willing to undergo any banned substances testing needed.
Silva is scheduled to return to the ring later this month on June 15 in Tabasco, Mexico, against TBA for the NABF welterweight title.
With a record of twenty wins, sixteen of these by knockout, against three defeats and two draws, Silva continues his training in Tijuana, Mexico, under the supervision of his trainer and former two-time super flyweight champion Diego "Pelucho" Morales.

2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
I'm not sure if this is the best place for this thread, so if it needs to be somewhere else please let me know. Thanks
Moderators, would it be possible to have this thread set up as a Sticky?
I have been asked to see if I can get an idea of how many people are disappointed with the Uconnect streaming audio sound quality.
I would like to start a list of people with any of the 2011 Chrysler brands (Chrysler, Dodge Jeep) that also have a Mitsubishi radio in the vehicle (RES, REQ, RBZ, RHB). I mention all three because people will fnd similar information on an issue when searching online but may have a different Chrysler brand.
Let's start a numbered list please. You can quote the reply from the next person, cut out the names and place them into he body of your reply, then add your information. What I need is your screen name, vehicle type and radio model. Thanks for your assistance.
EX: xsdbs wrangler RHB

Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
lets see how it goes...then we'll see about a sticky
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
Well I have this same thread in several other forums as well as this one and I know there are members that have complaints about the streaming audio sound quality. Kind of surprised none have actually been added. Maybe there needs to be a member blast or perhaps a mention of the thread in your monthly newsletter.
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
Bump to get this back to the top of the list again. I am slightly confused here because I know there are members here with poor streaming audio quality.
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
OK, so here's the update for the Bluetooth Streaming audio on 2011 vehicles with 1 of the following radios ONLY:
For 2011 vehicles built prior to 6-1-2011 that have already had either 1 of these TSBs performed (#08-036-11, 08-036-11 rev A, 08-019-12). Your vehicle must have 1 of these TSBs performed. If your vehicle has not had the TSB performed, please let me know and Ill help walk you thru what you need to do.
1)This is an update for the Bluetooth streaming audio sound quality.
2)There was not enough memory left to safely do anything for the iPod stutter at the beginning of the next track.
Here's the file and instructions for the 2011 Uconnect Bitpool update.
***Important note: Please make sure that the vehicle battery power is not interrupted. This could cause damage to the update and the module. The best procedure is to have the vehicle running during the process. *****
You will need a thumb drive of at least 1GB. If you have files on the thumb drive, please delete them and format the drive (to FAT32) just to make sure that it is completely clean
Download it to the thumb drive that has no other files on it. Once it is downloaded to the thumb drive, please rename it so the file is uconnect.upd (basically delete everything up to Uconnect.upd).
Turn the radio on, Place the thumb drive in the center console or glove box USB connector on vehicles with the factory installed unit. If you have the Mopar kit installed, the USB connector may be in the glove box. This cable is an optional cable <PN 82212160> and may not have been installed if the kit was installed at the Dealer.
Press and release the Uconnect button and say set up, software update. You should hear "update started". This process should take about 10 - 15 minutes; there will be some beeps during the process. Please listen during the update for any error message that may be said by Uconnect. When the update is completed, the radio screen will go back to a radio display.
High Speed CAN BUS vehicles use the link below for downloading the file:
43.1.40 HS bitpool uconnect.upd
Low Speed CAN BUS vehicles use the link below for downloading the file:
<I have added the Low Speed CAN BUS file here also because people from other forums and with other vehicles will possibly find this thread and if I didn't have it listed, I would have to start a new thread for it. So I'm just saving some time (perhaps just being lazy) for others ans well as myself>
43.1.40 LS bitpool uconnect.upd
Please reply back with your results. I have tested it myself and have also had a couple of friends test it for me.
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
Is this a new update for the RHB? Last time I tried an update was in August I think and although it improved a bit for BTSA it was still crap even with at the time the new iOS 6 beta release. Anyways hers my name to the list.
1) xsdbs 2011 Wrangler RHB
2) nrtst24 2011 JGC 430N RHB
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
correct, this is a new update but it is only for the streaming audio sound quality. It's a small update. I have already had about 70 people DL and install it with all positive feedback. Give it a shot.
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
SUCESS!!! Finally! This update fixed the BTSA issue I was experiencing with garbled sound in the upper mids and highs! For anyone reading this post I have a 430 RHB and iphone 4s with iOS 6 and this update fixed the garbled sound. Previous updates fixed the stuttering and chipmunk sound. One other thing I noticed is that now controlling Pandora and Slacker over BT works correctly when skipping songs and stations (before it would try to play my itunes library sometimes instead of the next song in Pandora or Slacker).
Thanks to XSDBS for helping everyone out with this!!! Now if I could only get that kind of help fixing some of the odd mechanical issues with my 2011 JGC.
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
Your very much welcome. Glad that I was able to help out.
Good luck with the other mechanical issues.:D
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
I have a qualifying vehicle, but I never saw the instructions because of the font color -- with the "DarkBlue" forum skin (which I use because my eyes are old) it shows up as light gray text on a light gray background.
Now that I've found it, I'll give it a try.
Re: 2011 Uconnect streaming audio quality
I have a 2013 WK2 with RHB and I have the same BT streaming issues. Current software version is 43.00.13. Will the 43.1.40 fix my issues?

Thunderbird Avalanche
It's not often you get good first-hand accounts of serious avalanches. Often the victims are too shaken or chastened by the experience to write about it—or, tragically, they're unable to write at all. But in the last week we've enjoyed superb stories about the serious avalanche accident on Grand Mesa on March 17—from both the victim and his rescuer.
Seth Anderson and Ann Driggers climbed the northwest side of Grand Mesa, early that morning in mid-March. For several years, Anderson, a cofounder of the Grand Junction–based Loki apparel company, had dreamed of skiing the Thunderbird and Serpent formations on the steep walls overlooking Palisade. These bizarre slide paths play into Ute legends of deities living on Grand Mesa; Anderson had written before about these stories and his fascination with the formations. This winter's heavy snows had covered the slides, making Anderson's dream seem feasible.
The two skiers started down the Thunderbird near midday, and Anderson triggered a slide as he entered the Serpent gully. Although he was not completely buried, he was severely injured, with two badly broken legs. Fortunately, the two skiers were able to call for and help coordinate a rescue, and Anderson is now recovering.
It's best to let Andesrson and Driggers speak for themselves. Last Friday, Anderson wrote a first-person story of this awful accident in the Grand Junction Free Press. And yesterday, Driggers published a powerful account of her perspective as companion and rescuer at her excellent Outdoor Junkie blog in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. Both stories are unusually frank and moving. Recommended!

Nice work! I love progress threads like these!
Nice work! I love progress threads like these!
On the detail painting, are you free-handing all that or using some type of stenciling process?
wannab, sorry I didnt notice your question. I dont use stencils. I just look at the damage by eye and go over the area with a light pencil.
Alright I have an update. I started working on the back mandibles. I have been really lazy. I cannot start on the back because I dont have the right color, but that will come this saturday.
I added some carbon damage to the area around the dent, above it, and to the bottom of the cheeks. I love airbrushes, I highly recomend getting one.
Thought it would be about time to wear it and take a picture
edit- Wow, that background is creepy. Haha, just thought I would mention that this isnt my room. It is my grandmothers room and she likes cute baby pictures and such, so whatever she finds, she puts up haha.

Natural Gas
‹ See All Natural Gas Reports
Release Date:
Jun 17, 2011
Natural Gas Processing Plants in the United States: 2010 Update
Release Date:
Jun 17, 2011
Regional Analysis
Gulf of Mexico States
- The Gulf of Mexico area, which includes the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, has in the past accounted for the majority of natural gas production.
- Processing plants are especially important in this part of the country because of the amount of NGLs in the natural gas produced and existence of numerous petro-chemical plants seeking that feedstock in this area. Consequently, the States along the Gulf of Mexico are home to the largest number of plants and the most processing capacity in the United States.
- Natural gas produced in this area of the country is typically rich in NGLs and requires processing before it is pipeline-quality dry natural gas. Offshore natural gas production can contain more than 4 gallons of NGLs per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas. Natural gas produced onshore along the Texas Gulf Coast typically contains 2 to 3 gallons of NGLs per Mcf.1 Shale gas produced in the Gulf Coast region is also high in NGLs.
- Overall, the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida totaled about 41 Bcf per day of processing capacity, accounting for about 53 percent of the total processing capacity in the United States.
- The processing capacity in these five States has increased by about 16 percent compared with a 2004 EIA estimate. At the same time, the number of processing plants has decreased by six as a result of plant closures, some of which were completely dismantled over the last few years as newer plants replaced the old and less efficient plants.
- The effect of the newer, more efficient plants was evident in the increase in average plant capacity since 2004. In Texas, although the number of operating plants decreased, the average capacity per plant increased from 95 MMcf per day to 120 MMcf per day. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama also saw their per-plant capacity increase, with the average capacity per plant in Mississippi more than doubling from 262 MMcf per day to 568 MMcf per day.
- While the capacity in these States was significant, the actual average flows at the plants amounted to about 25 Bcf per day or about 49 percent of the total U.S. average flows in 2009.2 In some instances, the difference between the design capacity and average flows was small (i.e. less than 10 percent). However, in others the differential was as high as 90 percent. In Texas, processing plants were operating closest to their capacity of any State (with the exception of Alaska), processing at an average of about 84 percent capacity.
- Consistent with the presence of NGLs in the natural gas produced in the region, the energy (Btu) content of natural gas at the plant inlets was in some cases very high. Furthermore, the range of the Btu values was wide, particularly in Texas, where the natural gas produced is NGL-rich. However, the presence of CO2 in some other production areas resulted in low Btu content values at those locations.

2 Average flow numbers reflect the individual companies' responses on the average annual flow at the plant inlet.

Facilities that standardize with the ISC2 seal can benefit from reduced inventory, greater application flexibility, rapid availability, less downtime and longer seal life, resulting in an overall cost reduction.
DALLAS, June 18, 2012 — Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, today announced the expanded global promotion of its "Innovative Standard Cartridge" seal series, the ISC2, at the ACHEMA 2012 World Exhibition and Congress on the Process Industry in Frankfurt, Germany.
The ISC2 seal has been well received by Flowserve customers in the North American process industries and the company is expanding its promotion of the product into all other global regions. Facilities that standardize with the ISC2 seal can benefit from reduced inventory, greater application flexibility, rapid availability, less downtime and longer seal life, resulting in an overall cost reduction.
Designed to fit a wide range of pump designs and configurations, ISC2 seals feature an exclusive, patented thermal management technology (US patent number 8011667), which tolerates short-term dry run events without overheating, thereby increasing reliability and preventing a common cause of leakage. ISC2 dual seals employ enhanced barrier fluid circulation for the highest flow rate and coolest running when compared to other standard cartridge seals. ISC2 single seals have a sizeable throttle bushing to help protect against leaks.
"Flowserve is an industry leader in the design, production and service of mechanical seals and support systems for pumps and other rotating equipment," said Ken Lavelle, president, Seal Operations. "The ISC2 seal offers our customers maximum performance and reliability in a variety of industries and applications and demonstrates our continuing technology leadership and commitment to provide our customers with products and services that meet or exceed their requirements. In fact, this innovative seal design is so versatile, it may be the only pump seal required by some facilities."
Flowserve mechanical seals are designed to prevent the leakage of potentially hazardous process fluids, providing environmentally-conscious companies improved reliability and extended mean time between repair (MTBR).
ISC2 seals meet all major international standards. An API version, the ISC2-682, helps customers align their standardization programs with the sealing industry's most comprehensive best-practice standard: API 682/ISO 21049. ISC2 seals support applications in the chemical, petrochemical, corn processing, biofuels, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, mining and power industries.
For more information about ISC2 series seals, including product brochures available in seven languages, please visit www.flowserve.com/isc2.

Do You Have Dependent Family Members Who Have Disabilities?
Did you know that naming an individual with disabilities in your will could cause him or her to lose Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits?
Governmental assistance benefits also are in jeopardy if the individual with disabilities receives a lump sum of money, such as from a personal injury settlement, back payment from Social Security or even lottery winnings.
Thanks to The Disability Foundation, a supporting organization of The Dayton Foundation, you can help ensure a good quality of life for your disabled loved one and not have to make the difficult decision to disinherit him or her or risk jeopardizing important entitlements.
The Disability Foundation administers two pooled, disability trusts - the Ohio Community Pooled Annuity Trust and the 2014 Ohio Community Pooled Flexible-Spending Trust. Both are safe and affordable planning options for individuals with disabilities and their families.
Ohio Community Pooled Annuity Trust (OCPAT):
Individuals with disabilities and their families can establish an account that will provide a lifetime plan of payments backed by The Dayton Foundation. When a family sets up an account in this trust, an annuity calculation is made and a monthly benefit amount determined. Each month that amount is credited to the individual's spending account.
- The monthly benefit is guaranteed for the life of the individual (by The Dayton Foundation as Trustee).
- The money in the account can be spent quarterly or accumulated for a future activity.
- The monthly payment amount is calculated when the account is funded and based upon the value of the assets transferred, the age of the individual with disabilities and charitable gift annuity rates at that time.
Learn more about Ohio Community Pooled Annuity Trust.
2014 Ohio Community Pooled Flexible-Spending Trust (OCPFST):
The OCPFST provides an option to families who do not want the annuity limitation in the OCPAT. The only limit on the amount that can be spent is the amount in the individual's account.
- OCPFST provides more flexibility, particularly if a major purchase is needed.
- The Flexible-Spending Trust allows individuals to set resources aside for a time when those funds are needed to purchase supplemental need items.
- While it does not provide a lifetime guarantee of payments, it does allow recipients to make requests from the principle sum in the Trust.
Learn more about 2014 Ohio Community Pooled Flexible-Spending Trust.
While neither Trust option may be used to fulfill an individual's basic necessities (i.e., food, clothing or shelter), they may provide for the "extras" in life, such as travel, hobbies, pets, recreation, medical equipment and services not covered by Medicaid. Assets held in either Trust may not counted for Medicaid or SSI purposes, so long as the monthly payments are used for the individual's supplemental needs.
By designating a personal representative to oversee the account, a family has peace of mind that their loved one's best interests are being looked after now and in the future.
An account can be established in the Trust to supplement the individual's needs immediately, or it can be deferred and funded through an estate plan.
Best of all, there is no initial fee for establishing an account, and no annual maintenance fees are charged. Plus, each account is considered a general obligation of The Dayton Foundation, and all payments are backed by the assets of both The Dayton Foundation and The Disability Foundation.
For more information, please visit The Disability Foundation website at www.disability-foundation.org.
To illustrate how The Disability Foundation can help families provide for the future care and happiness of their loved ones with disabilities, take a look at these two examples:
Example #1
Transferring a disabled individual's inheritance to help him pursue his hobbies and, one day, take the trip of his dreams
Example #2
Establishing a deferred charitable gift annuity to continue a child's favorite activities, long after her parents have passed away

/// CBS, Time Warner End Carriage Standoff
With less than a week to go before the start of the 2013 NFL season , CBS and Time Warner Cable have finally come to terms on a new carriage agreement. One month to the day after the CBS signal was pulled in Time Warner Cable's New York, Los Angeles and Dallas markets, the two sides on Monday reached a new deal that should find the nation's No. 1 network up and running in all affected areas before nightfall. (WCBS-2 in New York came back online at around 6 p.m. EDT.) Along with the broadcast feed, the premium network Showtime is also back in business in all Time Warner Cable households. Terms of the new pact were not disclosed, although CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves suggested that the deal points worked in the network's favor. "This was a far more protracted dispute than anyone at CBS anticipated, but in spite of the pain it caused to all of us, and most importantly the inconvenience to our viewers who were affected, it was an important one, and one worth pursuing to a satisfactory conclusion. That has been achieved," Moonves wrote in a memo to CBS employees that was released this afternoon. "The final agreements with Time Warner Cable deliver to us all the value and terms that we sought in these discussions. We are receiving fair compensation for CBS content and we also have the ability to monetize our content going forward on all the new, developing platforms that are right now transforming the way people watch television." In other words, CBS appears to have secured a retransmission consent fee of $2.00 per subscriber per month, up from an estimated $0.85, while ensuring greater control over digital dissemination of its content. For its part, TWC acknowledged that it saw mixed results.

Here are some solutions for the centuries-old problem in music industry: during performance or rehearsal, players are often forced to stop playing in order to turn printed sheet music or ask others to turn it for them. (even in the computer age!)
Finally, the BiLiPro page turner came to the rescue. It's simple (USB plug & play), effective (like PowerPoint slide), and affordable (just $49.99).
Now, you can face the music without facing the problem: play constantly, comfortably and confidently. Footime page turner is your stepping stone to peak performance.
In fact, our page turner has answered the question for today's musicians: Why waste paper and ink to print out score and then turn it by hand instead of turning it directly in a computer by foot? Result: 1 stone, 2 birds.
What's more, going digital is green (paperless), compact (weightless e-score) and efficient (organize electronically). Now, 1 stone, 5 birds!
Report from New York Times:
Page turner at work (no pause, no mess, no noise, no paper, no battery, no software, plug-n-play, can turn score/tab/lyric in PDF, PowerPoint, Word, etc, works with PC, Mac and iPad)
Tip: 3 Easy Ways to Support Laptop
1) On music stand (Use big, strong music stand & bungee cord to secure.)
2) On music rack of piano (USB extension cord may be needed.)
3) On desk top

How to prepare (then play) your tab (chord) with MS Word in minutes in PowerPoint style
Microsoft Word is the most widely used program, while tab/chord is the popular "score" for guitar players. The following steps tell you how to put these two things together quickly. So you can see your tab/chord on computer screen and turn it by foot with FOOTIME page turner. It saves you time, money, and space, without the headache of learning another software. Here is how:
1) Open a new Word page.
2) Click "File" in menu bar. Then click "Page Setup".
3) If you use desktop or laptop on top of Footime stand, in "Page Setup", under "Margins" tab and "Orientation" section, click "Landscape" to get a maximum view of screen and to turn a full page with each click on pedal. (For Mac OS, reduce margins to fill page.)
4) Find the tab/chord you want online (Tip: key in "guitar tab" or "free guitar tab" in Google to search. There are many!). Highlight and copy the tab you get (right click, then click "Copy") and paste it (right click, then click "Paste") into your Word page. Most websites of tab/chord allow you to do copy and paste. If not, just type the lines, letters and numbers in Word directly. It's easy.
5) Add or edit lyrics and title for the tab/chord. (For Mac OS, change font size to maximize size in window.)
6) Number tab/chord pages
7) Click in the space between any two pages of Word to reduce the spaces into horizontal lines for better look and page turning
8) Save your tab/chord with a title in Word file
9) Play/turn tab with FOOTIME page turner:
- Open your tab on computer screen
- Click "View" from menu bar
- Click "Full Screen" to hide menu bars and icons for maximum view
- Drag the pop-up "Full Screen" on/off window to any corner of screen by clicking, holding and moving the top of the window. So the window won't block the tab/chord in the middle (For Mac OS, change "View" to "Entire Page")
- Plug FOOTIME page turner and play (into USB port)
- Simply press "Esc" key to turn off "Full Screen" mode after playing
- To share the tab/chord with a group in class, band or church, project it on a wall/screen.
Some websites have already prepared tabs/chords conveniently in MS Word format (ex. www.e-chords.com). With a few mouse clicks, the tab/chord you pick will be in your computer and ready to play!
Save trees. Free hands. Play better.

Reviews from
We have long been able to read and create music scores on a computer using notation programs, but reading them while performing is often a problem because of the need to turn the pages without taking one's hands off of the instrument. The Bili Footime Page/Score Turner is the newest solution to this problem, allowing you to turn the pages of your electronic score using a foot switch. If you have a projector, the entire class can follow the score together.
- Music Education Technology, Sept/Oct 2006
The Footime Page Turner lets you use your feet to display and turn 'electronic' scores on your PC...user can play without interruption and read from clear, well-lit pages...
- Guitar World, Holiday 2006 Issue
The Footime Page Turner is a new product from Bili Inc that seeks to eliminate the need for musicians to frequently remove their hands from their instruments to turn score pages, by allowing the musician to turn digital scores by tapping one's foot.
By connecting a USB plug to a computer, the Footime Page Turner is a simple pedal with two buttons: one for forward page turning, the other for backward turning. In addition to its benefit of freeing hands, this device also allows a group to share scores projected on wall or screen.
The addition of the Footime Page Turner to a laptop, page turner and charged laptop, allows players to see clean, clear and well-lit digital scores on a dim stage without a lamp and cable.
- American Music Teacher, Feb/March 2008
One reward for those pioneers ready to take the leap from paper to digital scores is relief from page turning. Now FOOTIME, a two-button USB foot pedal, can turn the virtual pages for you. The pedal comes with a metal base, LED lights for low-light situations and a 68-inch cable. Violinist Nicholas Kitchen of the Borromeo String Quartet says the device allows him to rehearse and perform from full scores that would have been impractical if he had to stop and turn pages.
- Strings, April 2008
With Footime page turner by Bili Inc, digital score pages are turned on a computer screen (like switching a slide show) using a foot pedal. Tapping the two buttons on the pedal turns the screen pages forward or backward, for easy page turning at rehearsal, when teaching, and during performance. The pedal has a sturdy metal base and LED lights under the two buttons for easy locating in dark. It connects to a laptop (or desktop) with a USB plug.
- International Musician, April 2008
The Footime Page Turner allows players to turn digital scores on a computer screen like switching slides in a slide show.
- Making Music, May/June 2008
Page-Turner will navigate Web pages, PDFs, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents and is perfect for turning pages hands-free while playing or conducting from a digital score.
- Music Connection, July 2008
My pedal arrived the other day. I am delighted - it is exactly what I wanted and the fact that it has the LED lighting for a low-light environment is an added bonus. EXCELLENT! Thank you for manufacturing such useful product.
- Cathie Stewart, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
The page turner works great! I use it for music at church and just step on the pedal to page through while I play my guitar. It works flawlessly. (with projector), no more music stands and endless numbers of sheets of music.
- Mark Keller, Bel Air, Maryland
This foot pedal is exactly what I've been needing now for about 3 years. I am a keyboardist in the US Army Band field and I use a laptop instead of printed sheet music. I love my laptop, but it was always a little inconvenient to turn the pages. Your pedal is the perfect design for my needs. It seems well built and durable, which is a must due to our performance environments. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and this climate will definitely put this pedal to test. So far it seems to be doing well.
- Tim Willis, 101st Airborne Division Band
My name is Nicholas Kitchen. I have played violin professionally since I was a small child and I am now founder and first violinist of the Borromeo String Quartet and Violin and Chamber Music Faculty at the New England Conservatory of Music.
I have struggled for a long time with how to use the full score of a piece in rehearsal. It is so basically logical to work on the intricate rich music seeing all of the parts as they have been written by the composer. How could we even imagine that just seeing one line of an interwoven score makes any sense as mode of working. But alas, that is what is always the case with string quartet playing, or any other ensemble work. We read off a single line and use our ears to try to assemble the total sound. The job of turning pages of the score makes it impossible to even imagine using the score as one's basic music.
Well, that has now changed for me, thanks to Footime.
I saw some pianists use PDF scores with pedals for turning, and I searched on the Internet trying to see what they would have been using. Instead I found the Footime pedal, and I was so impressed to see the thinking behind it, and the attention to making the design as simple and attractive as possible.
I ordered it, and with a little tinkering with how to frame PDF's for optimum readability, and with a little pedal practice, I now use the Footime stand and pedal in nearly all rehearsals, which is often 4 hours every day. I am actually totally thrilled. It is a profoundly different experience to rehearse off the score with ease. Already I feel I have had countless insights which would have come much more slowly with more limited access to the score. I use a Wacom sketch tablet to make markings, so really there is nothing missing from what I would normally need from rehearsing a piece.
On December 3, 2007, I use the Footime for the first time in a public concert in NEC's Jordan Hall playing the Reger Clarinet Quintet with Richard Stotzman.
I am truly grateful to the inventors of this marvelous device!
- Nicholas Kitchen, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts
(see his page turner at work on video: www.livingarchive.org)
I am a worship leader for a Christian church. Like many churches we use PowerPoint to project the words to the songs for the congregation to read. I use the computer as a monitor for myself and the worship team but, because I play an instrument, someone else must advance the next slide for me. The problem comes when that person doesn't keep up or if I want to repeat a verse of a song on the fly or go back to a chorus. They get confused, I get frustrated and the audience gets lost.
The Bili page turner is the answer. It simply gives me complete control of forward and reverse in PowerPoint on a foot switch. It's as simple as plug into the USB port on your computer and now I can lead the congregation and play my instrument without missing a beat. It has been the perfect answer for me by giving me the freedom to be spontaneous without losing the words. Thank you for creating such a useful tool for musicians.

Feedback time for the FOOTIME page turner. Just got it today--Absolutely fabulous!!!!--I have wanted and dreamt of something like this for YEARS...I don't have to memorise all my performance pieces anymore, as I am a super fast reader. The final glitch in the whole reading process at gigs and concerts is now solved--Thanks to my new Footime footswitch. I can also easily carry my pdf and tefview repertoire of 15000 pieces--all in my new "music stand come laptop". Terrific for me professionally! Thanks a lot, to all of you at Bili Inc.
- Steve Boswell, Classical Guitarist, Vancouver, Canada
This product has made my life so much easier when I am conducting or performing. I am a Mac user and it worked as plug-n-play in my new MacBook Air. Awesome!
- Jason Lee Bruns, Studio Musician, Studio City, California
I used the USB foot switch to turn pages on our Easter musical for rehearsal and it performed flawlessly! I wish I had one of these 20 years ago. Thanks for a product that makes life easier for us musicians who use computer based scores. I find it's also great for reading Adobe documents, Mobipocket books and other large files.
- Doug Nasluchacz, Riverside, California
It's absolutely fantastic and so easy to use. I have been telling all my musician friends about it. It is definitely the hardware of the future.
- Ron Borelli, San Francisco, California
The page turner is working great for me. I play guitar for a large church and this enables me to easily turn pages without having to stop playing. I use a Mac Book Pro. I scan the music into PDF and use Adobe Acrobat to display the files in full-page format.
- Bill Faulkner, Chattanooga, Tennessee
I'm visually impaired, and had been printing out huge text that I could see while playing piano in church. I used 68 pt font, and could barely fit one song verse on an 8.5x11 paper. But now, thanks to a computer, a huge monitor, and my Footime page turner, I no longer have to use up all that printer ink, and I don't have to turn pages! I type my songs in Microsoft Word, with the page in landscape format. Since I write music with Sibelius notation software, and can format huge music in landscape, I convert the Sibelius file to a graphic and import it to the Word file. I end up with text and music on a 21" monitor (which I have mounted on a swivel arm to my Clavinova) as big as I please. Thanks to the Footime, my fingers never have to leave the piano keys.
The Footime is very reliable; it works every time. The buttons are easy to feel through shoes, and the unit stays where I put it...
This product is well-worth the $60 bucks! (now $49.99) It simply does one thing, and does it reliably. Don't hesitate, just buy it!
- Joseph DeRosa, Sparks, Nevada
I just want to send you an e-mail to say thanks for such a fast delivery and wonderful product. I'm very impressed with the page turner - it does the job perfectly with zero fuss. You were right when you said it was plug and play!
- Paul Bielatowicz, UK guitarist of The Carl Palmer Band and Neal Morse's band (from Spock's Beard) www.paulbielatowicz.com
Using the Footime with my laptop laying on its side has made my life so much easier. I've got so many fake books, songbooks, and sheet music floating around that it became impossible to have any kind of order, and it was impossible to have all the music with you on a gig with loose leaf folders of music. With the Footime I have a lot of fake books and lead sheets ready to go in an instant.
I use my right foot to operate the foot switches for my arranger keyboard and my left foot to turn pages using Footime. This works so slick.
When I perform in duo and trio pick up bands, the other players are able to stand next to me and read off of my laptop also making this so convenient for situations like this.
It is so easy and convenient to use the Footime. I would highly recommend this great product and the customer service to anyone.

I'm sure @panini is on to something but I wonder how it applies to cooking. I think now that it's a stovetop heat diffuser to keep espresso, melted chocolate or even a delicate sauce warm without scorching/boiling because the simmer setting is never low enough sometimes. Luc H.

About the Author
Herbert George Wells, 1866-1946
English novelist and social commentator, chiefly known as a founder of the science fiction genre.
His early novels, called "scientific romances", invented a number of themes now classic in science fiction in such works as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds and are often thought of as being influenced by the works of Jules Verne. He also wrote other, non-fantastic novels which have received critical acclaim, including the satire on Edwardian advertising Tono-Bungay and Kipps.
Wells also wrote non-fiction. His classic two-volume work The Outline of History [1920] set a new standard and direction for popularised scholarship.

CHART: Fox Spent More Time On "Crucify" Comments Than 3 Major Oil & Gas Risks
Blog ››› ››› JILL FITZSIMMONS
In less than a week, Fox News has devoted 34 segments totaling more than two hours of airtime expressing outrage about the word choice of an EPA official who spoke two years ago about punishing oil companies who violate the law. That's 10 times more coverage than Fox gave to 3 major stories related to the risks of oil and gas development, combined.
Regional EPA administrator Al Armendariz resigned on Monday following a media firestorm over an analogy he used two years ago comparing environmental enforcement to the Romans crucifying a few to gain compliance of the many. In remarks dug up and circulated by Sen. James Inhofe (R), Armendariz responded to a question about whether EPA had the manpower to oversee the explosion of natural gas drilling. Cracking down on companies breaking the law, Armendariz said, can have "a deterrent effect" on other noncompliant companies, who "decide at that point that it's time to clean up."
Fox News has been the driving force behind this supposed controversy, devoting more than two hours to the story in less than a week. Fox's coverage has not only been unceasing -- it has also been misleading. Of the segments that aired Armendariz's comments, 57% cropped the video to exclude the context that he was referring to companies that are "not compliant with the law" -- not all oil companies.
By contrast, Fox virtually ignored three important stories which pointed to the risks associated with oil and natural gas development: 1) an EPA study which found that hydraulic fracturing likely contaminated groundwater in Pavillion, Wyoming; 2) an ExxonMobil pipeline leak that dumped more than 63,000 gallons of crude oil into the Yellowstone River in Montana, polluting water supplies and disrupting farming in the region; and 3) the BP oil spill commission's final report, which blamed the disaster on "systemic failures" by BP, Transocean and Halliburton, and concluded that reform of industry practices and regulatory oversight is urgently needed to prevent future spills.
Based on a search of Media Matters' video archive, Fox spent a total of just 13 minutes on these stories. Since Thursday, the "crucify" remarks have received ten times more coverage than all three combined.

Olympics: European viewers more interested in London than Beijing
Figures show that European viewers were more interested in watching the London Olympic Games than the previous ones, held in Beijing in 2008.
The Geneva-based trade body, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which looks after 74 national broadcasters from 56 mostly European countries, said in a flash report on Wednesday (15 August) the London event was "the most watched Olympic Games in history."

It noted that the BBC got 20 million British viewers for the men's 100 metres sprint final with superstar Usain Bolt compared to its top figure of 7.5 million viewers during its 2008 output.
It did not show any Olympic content on its international channels due to a straitjacket of licencing agreements.
In Germany, the state-owend ZDF network got a daily average of 3.6 million viewers for the 2012 games overall and 1.8 million in 2008.
The EBU's Olympic webstreaming site - eurovisionsports.tv - also sent out 34 million streams, a figure which "more than doubled since Beijing." The licencing regime again meant that only people in Europe and some north African countries could log on to the site.
EBU spokesman Ben Steward told EUobserver that the time difference - Beijing is seven hours ahead of Central European Time - made a big difference.
He added that Europeans felt a sense of ownership because London is physically closer to home: "It's European, so Europeans obviously tuned in to it more."
The EBU published its update to highlight the importance of state-run TV networks - its members - in covering major world events.
Each country had its own commentators and little touches for showing the games.
But EBU companies divided up the basic audiovisual content so that, for example, the BBC filmed boxing, rowing and sprinting, while Greek broadcaster ERT did weightlifting and Slovakia's STV did hockey.
"Evrybody knows their national broadcaster, like the BBC, and they just assume that they cover the games. But if you take hockey, it would have been the BBC editing the show and adding commentary, while STV provided the basic content," Steward said.
The EBU is not alone in trying to give a European flavour to London 2012.
German PR firm Euro-Informationen also published an online "EU Medal Tracker" showing that if you add up the 27 EU countries, they got 92 golds and 306 medals in total, beating the US or China by miles.
Meanwhile, Presseurop, an EU-funded news site in Paris, ran an online survey in which 42 percent of people said EU countries should compete under one flag.
"Are our readers being ironic?" it tweeted on 13 August.

Cayetano defeats Najera
Photos and report by Felipe Leon
Mayen Promotions returned once again to the legendary Las Pulgas Night club located along the world-renown Avenida Revolucion in the heart of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Just like his father in the 80s and himself in the early 90s, Guillermo Mayen has once again become the king of the club fights of the border city. Thursday night was not different although Mayen received help from Zanfer Promotions when they lent out their popular up and coming bantamweight Jose "Tigre" Cayetano (13-1, 5KOs) as he struggled against but still took a unanimous decision over the hesitant Sergio "Costeño" Najera (4-7), both of Tijuana, in a scheduled eight round main event.
The usual aggressive Cayetano was coming off a spectacular win over former title challenger Arturo "Fuerte" Badillo last June when he stopped the fellow Tijuana fighter in five rounds after dropping him twice. Najera, a tough but raw brawler, has lost five of his last seven including his last two.
Nothing happened in the usual first round of study. The usual in your face Cayetano seemed hesitant to attack while Najera did nothing that would resemble offense in the round. Cayetano opened up in the last seconds of the stanza to go to the body of Najera and in hopes of drawing him into a fight.
Cayetano didn't get his wish until the fourth when Najera, who by this time was suffering a bloody nose, finally began to move forward and let his hands go including a right hand that surprised Cayetano. Cayetano kept in the fifth but more cautious since when Najera attacked, which was in spurts, he would counter with straight rights through the wide power punches of "Tigre".
The action continued in the sixth as the restless crowd was calling for blood and was somewhat appeased by both fighters going toe to toe although in spurts. The action only lasted through that round since in the seventh both fighters went back to more posturing while in the eighth and final round; it became a jab contest with Cayetano's getting there quicker and harder.
At the end, all three judges, Alejandro Rochin, Leo Ibarra and Benjamin Rendon, scored it for Cayetano's more effective punching 78-74 three times.
Other Results:
With a more alive opponent in front of her for her second pro fight, Tijuana flyweight Kenia Enriquez (2-0, 1KO) looked more polished as she cruised to an easy unanimous decision over Ciudad, Juarez, Mexico's Angelica "Maravilla" Dominguez (0-1). Enriquez began to dominate early as she found a home for her over hand right hand in the first round after suffering a cut on her right cheek due to a head butt. Enriquez continued to land the punch as she added upper cuts and hooks to the body. By the third round Dominguez was way over her head as Enriquez began to score almost at will. Dominguez tried to make it a fight by brawling with Enriquez but Enriquez was able to counter punch everything that came her way. All three judges, Alejandro Rochin, Benjamin Rendon and Leo Ibarra, saw it an identical 40-36.
A good all-around four round scrap turned out between light heavyweights Jonathan "Nini" Medina (1-2-1, 1KO) and Edgar "Roca" Bojorquez (3-4-3, 2KOs), both of Tijuana. Medina took the role of the boxer while Bojorquez brawled as he chased Medina around the ring. Medina threw the punches in bunches while Bojorquez looked for the knock out. Both fighters attacked to the body and head with Bojorquez hurting Medina to the torso a couple of times during the contest. Judges Alejandro Rochin, Benjamin Rendon and Carlos Flores liked the pressure from Bojorquez and scored it 39-37 to give him the unanimous win.
Undefeated Tijuana junior welterweight Pastor Elenes (2-0, 1KO) looked impressive as he took a landslide four round unanimous decision over game but clearly over matched Adrian Martinez (1-2-1), also of Tijuana. Elenes was always in control as he effectively pressured Martinez around the ring, never giving his opponent a second to rest. Martinez tried to counter punch with his back in the corner but Elenes was too quick and too slick and was able to score with three punch combos to the head of Martinez. At the end all three judges, Jesus Gonzalez, Sergio Lechuga and Carlos Flores saw it 40-36 three times for Elenes.
In a solid performance, Heriberto "Tremendo" Delgado (2-0) sent Hector "Chuky" Figueroa (0-3-1), both of Tijuana, twice to the canvas, once in the 1st and again in the fourth, to win a unanimous decision in a four round super bantamweight contest. Figueroa had his moments as he moved around the ring, throwing punches from awkward angles but once Delgado got close enough, he would score with power punches, two of which sent Figueroa down. Judges Jesus Gonzalez and Sergio Lechuga both saw it an identical 39-36 while Carlos Flores scored it 40-35.
Super bantamweight Rosalio "Aspid" Rios (4-0, 3KOs) only needed thirty-four seconds of the first round to make Jesus Antonio "Rocky" Garcia (1-2) completely give up and cower in a corner receiving punches. The fight was scheduled for four rounds.
Tijuana flyweight Norberto Vaal (1-0-1, 1KO) looked impressive as he scored his first professional win in spectacular fashion by stopping Artermio "Norteño" Garcia (1-2-1) both of Tijuana. Garcia looked like he would be able to hang with the fluid style of Vaal but near the end of the second, Vaal scored with a hard combo that hurt Garcia. Vaal kept attacking until referee Agustin Rivera saw enough and stopped the contest. 2:44 was the official time.
Despite a valiant effort, Ensenada, Mexico's junior flyweight Juan "Gallo" Tozcano (0-1) came up short in his pro debut versus Carlos Manuel Lopez (1-2) of Tijuana. After winning the first round, Tozcano allowed Lopez to execute his game plan which was to box behind a strong jab. In the third and fourth Lopez began to put together quick punch combos and caught Tozcano with left hooks that made the Ensenada's fighter's knees buckle. Judge Jesus Gonzalez saw it 39-37, Sergio Lechuga 40-36 and Esteban Franco 39-38.

Driving to work today I had three of the lights on my dash light up and they scared the hell out of me! Can anyone tell me what they are? A flashing scroll seemed to be one of them, i think service was another. A message came up saying something about the diesel filter and then the message read something about an engine fault?!
You'd have to give us a heck of a lot more information than that for a sensible answer. I would also suggest if you have a diesel that mytiguan is a good European Tiguan site that may be better able to help once you come up with a more detailed explanation of what happened, what the lights looked like and what the mfd said !!

An article about the cervical cancer vaccine Cervarix that was used by a health ministry panel to justify subsidies for the drug was written by an employee of its manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline K.K., informed sources said.
According to the Japanese unit of Britain's GlaxoSmithKline PLC, the article, which was about the importance and challenges of cervical cancer vaccines, was published in a Japanese journal in September 2009.
The article concluded that the use of the vaccine by some 590,000 12-year-old girls would save some ¥1.2 billion in costs by preventing cancer.
The employee was chief of a GlaxoSmithKline K.K. division analyzing the costs and benefits of medical products. But the article did not disclose the employment status of the individual at the company and instead used the title of lecturer at Tokyo Women's Medical University. The employee quit the company in June 2010.
Cervical cancer vaccinations became routine in Japan last April. But the health ministry stopped recommending them in June due to reported side effects.

Shady Brook Baptist Church is large enough to provide a number of programs but small enough so that you are able to know most everyone and be known.
Some Beliefs We Cherish
We believe in one God who is the ever present, all sufficient, creator and sustainer of this universe. Words will not fully explain His majesty. Over time, God has presented himself to the world as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God spoke this universe into creation and that the human race was the crown jewel of that creation. Through an act of willful rebellion called sin, man fell from a perfect relationship with God. Now the entire human race needs salvation.
We believe that God the Father became God the Son in the person of Jesus Christ. It was through His sacrificial death that our salvation was purchased. Salvation can only be achieved by believing in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
We believe that God uses the life of the Church to promote the Gospel in both word and deed. Productive church life is vital to the spiritual health of all believers.
We believe that the Bible is inspired inerrant and infallible word of God. It is in the pages of Scripture that we find the answers to lifes most important questions about faith and practice.

It's fajr time, and for today at least I have kept my resolve not to dig back under the covers. I take a deep breath, a long sip of coffee, and enjoy the peace of silence―a sound that has become almost alien since the school year has ended and summer begun.I make resolutions all the time. Today I'll start reading a whole juzu' of Quran a day, and I'll walk an hour on the treadmill. I won't eat any junk. I'll pray jama3a more often. I'll involve my kids in the activities I'm doing. I'll remai … [Read more...]
