The Vatican geared up for the inauguration of the pope on Tuesday, a ceremony ushering in a new era for the Roman Catholic Church.
Anticipation mounted among the faithful across the globe awaiting a joyous and solemn chapter of Christian history. St. Peter's Square will bustle with tourists, locals and pilgrims during the official Mass to install Francis as the bishop of Rome.
The choice of day to anoint him as the holy father of the Roman Catholic Church carries a rich symbolism: It is the day that Catholics celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph to honor Jesus' father on Earth, the carpenter Joseph. It also happens to be Father's Day in Italy.
Foreign dignitaries, royalty, heads of state, and representatives of other religions will attend. Security will be on the alert as hymns, chants and prayers fill the square.
The pope, who plans to deliver his homily in Italian, isn't expected to religiously stay within a script. He will have prepared comments but, his spokesmen say, he might diverge because he likes to be spontaneous. That trait will endear him to the flock but keep security on its toes.
"The very competent security forces with the pope are there with him. They've been watching him. They'll adapt to his own movements and they will do their best to adapt to new situations," Vatican deputy spokesman the Rev. Thomas Rosica told reporters.
"They're concerned about the protection of the pope, but also the protection of the people that are there as well. And this is something brand new, and they will adapt to that because they're extremely competent and very well prepared," he said.
All this comes during one of the busiest times of the year on the Christian calendar. Less than a week away is Palm Sunday, the holiday that kicks off Holy Week, which culminates in Easter celebrations.
Dignitaries stream in
Vatican spokesmen briefing reporters Monday stress that dignitaries are welcome to attend the inauguration but, by tradition, they don't receive a specific invitation.

National Trails Day on Saturday June 1st provides numerous opportunities to hike, run, and horseback ride on a trail near you.
Spanning over 2,000 miles from Maine to northern Georgia, the Appalachian Trail (also known as the A.T.) represents the pinnacle of American wilderness.
As of March 1, cuts – known as sequestration – will be affecting every federal agency, including the National Park Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forest Service and other environmental agencies.
Now it's the scene of The Muir Project, a documentary that follows a group of digital artists on their bliss-filled journey along the trail.
Last Congress we witnessed the worst Congress for wilderness: the first since 1966 to not protect a single acre of wilderness. We cannot let history repeat itself. Urge your representative and senators to support America's natural heritage.

text: Charges have been laid against the skipper and factory manager of the Oyang 77 in relation to misreporting and illegal dumping of fish, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has advised today. Eight charges were laid against the skipper and three charges against the factory manager at Christchurch District Court on 9 May 2012, and these were served late yesterday. "We take all allegations or evidence of breaches very seriously," says MPI Deputy Director-General Scott Gallacher. "We investigate thoroughly and methodically, and where there is sufficient evidence we will prosecute." The New Zealand fishing industry has a good level of compliance with regulations, but breaches like this do occur from time to time, he says. "Commercial fishing relies largely on the honesty of fishers and their understanding that complying with regulations ensures the sustainability of the resource they depend on for their business." Mr Gallacher says while these types of investigations take time and require attention to detail and a significant amount of work, it is important that people do not feel that their information is unimportant or ignored. "We urge people to come to us if they have any evidence or suspicion of this type of breach. We will investigate." In any instance where there proves to be evidence that wrong-doing has occurred, then a prosecution is likely, he says. The two men charged are due to appear in Court on 5 July 2012.

Piombo Rovente – A Journey Into The 70's Italian Police OSTVarious
LP (Item 28545) Plastic (Italy), Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
An excellent compilation of funky 70s cop show themes put together with a very cool cover and a great selection of groovy tunes! There's lots of wah wah guitar, driving rhythms, funky flute, and cool keyboards – and the overall sound is tops if you dig crime/cop material from the 70s! A few cuts have appeared on other compilations over the years, but there's plenty of new bits, and the package is one of the nicest that Plastic Records has ever done. Artists include Riz Ortolani, Francesco De Masi, Franco Micallizzi, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, and Pulsar – and titles include "The Blue Boat", "The Stranger Lady", "The Other Face", "New Special Squad", "Incessante", "Running Against The Time", "You'll Kill Her", "Il Libanese", "Time On My Hands", and "Hong Kong Promenade". 16 cuts in all! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I wanted to like these shoes.
I wanted to like these shoes. They look great. However I couldn't make it out the house wearing them. They felt comfortable when I initially slipped my feet in. After 15 minutes of walking around my home with them on...various parts of the shoe was poking ( ie the stitching between the leather & elastic) and rubbing up on my feet.Not to mention the sole is hard like wood...I had to return them!

I wanted this shoe for a looong time! Thank God for amazing sister...she got it for me as a Birthday present! I was so excited when it arrived...unfortunately, on the first day that I wore it...I had blisters on the back of my ankle. The stitching rubbed against my skin and I had to walk barefoot on the way to the car. I don't know if it's just an unlucky pair coz I don't seem to see any complaints from other people who bought the same item. It's too bad because it looks very pretty! And I wish I could return it but it's unfortunate that the only way to know if the shoe fits well is by wearing it, which means I'm unable to return it. I had to take it to my shoe repair guy and he managed to put something on the back that will prevent the material from rubbing uncomfortably on my skin. I am a big fan of everything TB but this one is just disappointing!

These are super comfy
These fit great and are super super comfy. The rubber band part does make it look a little less flattering but overall I'm super happy with these shoes.

Perfect fit!
Love these, comfortable straight out of the box. The band around the top of the shoe is so soft and comfortable, and the heel height is perfect - easy to walk in, flattering, works with pants and skirts. I love the enamel logo with the patent leather - it's so pretty and chic, and the bordeaux is a stunning, deep, rich colour in real life. I'm a 6.5 in all pumps and the 6.5 in this style is a perfect fit. In short - buy them!

Just received these in Sand color on Monday and I'm so glad I got them.
Very comfortable, like all other Caroline's, and feel like I'm wearing flats. In comparison to the Michael Kors suede wedges I got the week before, these are way better and truly feel like wearing flats. The sand color is slightly browner than I expected, more of a tan color, so I am slightly struggling what non-neutral colored work clothes to match them with.... Having said that I am sure the other two colors should be very versatile.
Go for them! They look nice!!

Gorgeous and comfortable
Really loved the look of the Caroline wedges. I was looking for a pair of black patent wedge pumps for work and decided on these ones as I wanted something that's a little bit more interesting than a plain black pair and was not disappointed. The logo is more discrete than the normal Tory Burch gold/silver and I can wear these for work as well as with skinny jeans. Good height. Feels comfortable as though I'm wearing flats. I normally wear a size 6 and these are true to size compared to my Revas which were also size 6 and were too tight and had to be stretched professionally. Shipping was super quick too.

Avoid Being the Victim of 'Phishing'
Many internet users are becoming victims of online fraud. At Gulf Bank, we have taken every step to ensure a safe and secure service by using industry standard technology and practices. However, you should be aware of the latest phishing scams which exploit your good faith, so you can recognize and report any phishing attempts and protect yourself. Please read below for more details
What is Phishing?
The term 'phishing' comes from 'fishing', where bait is used to catch fish ? in this instance the e-mail is used as the bait in phishing. Phishing is the latest scam used by fraudsters to 'fish' for sensitive and personal information from you - eg: your security credentials to access your online banking.
It's usually a combination of a fake e-mail that contains fake web links to imposter websites. The e-mail will appear to come from your bank or financial organization that you are registered with and will ask you to click on a link and/or to confirm your access details - this is how they obtain your details - never provide this information.
How do they obtain my e-mail address?
Gulf Bank does not share your e-mail address. Fraudsters buy and swap lists of e-mail addresses.
How do they know I bank with Gulf Bank?
They simply don't know - phishing e-mails are sent to a large number of people in the hope that a small percentage of these people will actually have an account with the organization ? they rely on this.
How do I know that the e-mail isn?t from Gulf Bank when it says it is?
Gulf Bank uses the secure Mailbox feature within our 'Personal Online Banking' site to contact you. If we do contact you by e-mail, we will never request from you to divulge personal and/or security details - this is what a typical phishing e-mail will do to obtain your security/access details.
Always remember - your online banking login is through our official website - whenever in doubt, simply go to our website and login as you normally would do.
What steps do I take if I receive a suspicious e-mail?
If you have any doubt, simply delete the e-mail without even opening it - please apply this precaution to any unexpected emails with links or attachments - never respond to the e-mail.
If you are suspicious of an email that appears to come from Gulf Bank, please report it to email@example.com or 1 805 805.
Protect yourself from Phishing. NEW
Ensure that your desk/laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer Version 8 or higher:
Step 1 - Click the 'Safety' tab on the upper right hand corner of your screen
Step 2 - Select and click 'SmartScreen Filter'
Step 3 - Select 'Turn On SmartScreen Filter'
Step 4 - A new window will open. Select option 'Turn On SmartScreen Filter'
Step 5 - Click 'OK'
For Further Security Tips, check the link bar of your browser. The Gulf Bank Online Banking link starts with https://online.e-gulfbank.com/gbkretail/RetailLogin.html, a phishing link will never start with https://
You are now safe from phishing scams!
Key Hints and tips:
Personal or confidential information should never be submitted in response to an "urgent" email.
Never provide sensitive data when filling out surveys and feedback forms.
Always ask questions, it's better to be safe than sorry, so if you are suspicious call the organisation that the email appears to be from and ask them if it's legitimate.
Always use security software with an anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall features to protect your computer.

I Thought the whole defense left a lot to be desired.and how can you not give a thumbs down to the punting team? 3 years of major kicking problems from danny williams coaching.wtf does he still have a job?
Good stuff, Mark. You could argue the special teams deserved a thumbs down, but Cundiff did well and I love how Sundberg played with a broken arm from the second quarter onwards. What a stud.
What is the problem with blocking on the kicking teams?
I thought the defense did its part. Good pressure just from 4 pass rushers. The secondary had some problems, but that was to be expected. The Saints averaged 41 points per game at home last season and never lost in the regular season. Our defense gave up only 25 points in the Superdome. I will take that and I think almost any NFL defensive coordinator would, too.
Agreed . . . i thought the D got good play up front and in doing so made life a bit difficult for one of the best offenses in football . . . its not easy to shut down NO and even though the Skins didn't do that they did outplay my expectations over all . . . if they can continue to grow and find some CB help FS help (maybe getting Marriweather healthy will allow them to play Gomez for Williams) they can be real good in a year or two . . .

Hertel puts new Bayer vision into practice
Bayer and Hertel have developed a solid professional relationship over the years. Bayer Antwerp chose Hertel as its general contractor for a shutdown of their Aniline installation which produces raw materials.
Trust and safety delivers progress at Indaver
The two core values that Indaver sets great store by are mutual trust and result-orientated work. These values are also high on the list of priorities at Hertel.
Princess Amalia Windfarm
Hertel's offshore rope access team worked with its client to overcome a number of unique logistical challenges when carrying out work at the Princess Amalia offshore wind farm in the North Sea.
Isle of Grain LNG
The expansion of the Isle of Grain Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) importation and regasification terminal in Kent, England, has seen Hertel use cryogenic insulation on 5,000 linear metres of piping, and more than 700 valves and flanges.
Lucite Concord Alliance
A new approach to working with contractors at Lucite International's Cassel site is attracting attention across the industry as a strategic partnership that can deliver significant efficiency savings and world class SHE performance.
Openness and flexibility the key at Wylfa
A partnership built on openness and trust is at the heart of the relationship Hertel has with nuclear power generating company Magnox North at its Wylfa power station.
Dealing with the hidden problems
Managing the building fabric is an important part of a maintenance process once nuclear power stations reach the end of their working lives. This is the case at Calder Hall, Sellafield, which stopped generating power in 2003.
International experience key for Hertel on Pulau Ular
Hertel's global expertise in industrial construction and maintenance services has been crucial in completing a new build project at the Ethylene Cracker Complex (ECC) project at the Shell Eastern Petrochemical Complex (SEPC).
Experience with specialist insulation allows innovation to thrive
A solution devised by Hertel allowed work to continue at BP's new Valhall production platform during a prolonged period of cold weather.
Instilling the right attitude key to safe working at Stanlow
During the turnaround programme there will be a significant increase of workers on site, many who are unfamiliar with its layout and operations, so maintaining the highest safety standards is paramount.
Integrated approach delivers for Linde
Hertel's cross-discipline, cross-border working was critical in helping German engineering group Linde deliver the turnkey supply of a €100 million liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plant in Norway.
Turning the WAGR mountains in to mole hills
Completion of the decommissioning of the Windscale Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor at Sellafield in mid-2011 marked the end of a 20 year programme.

Members of the North Beaver Creek Baptist Church on NC 163 in West Jefferson are still recovering from the shocking loss of their church, but they have found comfort in the efforts of the community.
As of Friday, there has been no settlement from the insurance company that serves the church. Pastor Rick Miller said that "it's a slow process," and that until an insurance settlement has occurred, the church will not make any decisions about moving to a new location or repairing the church.
For the past three weeks since the church burned, the members of North Beaver Baptist Church have been holding services at Badger Funeral Home in West Jefferson.
In the future, church members will meet at Bald Mountain Baptist Church in West Jefferson, sharing the building with its host's congregation.
Referencing Badger Funeral Home and Bald Mountain Baptist Church, Pastor Miller said, "We really appreciate them helping us in the short term." Miller also wanted to express his gratitude toward the Ashe Baptist Association, David Blackburn in particular, for their support.
"The response from churches in this community, as well as churches all around North Carolina, has been really helpful," said Miller. He mentioned there have also been responses from churches in Tennessee and Florida wanting to help.
Miller believes this is largely due to the fact that the church was lost to arson rather than by natural causes.
As for the investigation, the Ashe County Sheriff's Department said there is a suspect, although no other information has been released.
To conclude his interview, Miller said, "Our main focus isn't on the building or catching the person responsible; it's to restore our preaching of the gospel and to move forward."

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Man's best friend joined in on the fourth annual Six Legged 5K at Onondaga Lake Parkway.
The Fleet Feet-sponsored event helps raise money for the Central New York SPCA.
This year was the first year the organization did pre-registration for the event, which proved to be a success. More than 100 people showed up to walk and run with and without pets.
SPCA officials say they're grateful for the support of the community.
"The cost to care for a pet in general, unfortunately, is on the increase. Vet care is very expensive and we house an average of 250 to 300 animals on a daily basis, so it's a lot of animals to take care of," said SPCA Director of Education Kimberly Smith.
Over the past three years, the Six-Legged 5K has generated almost $13,000 in donations for the Central New York SPCA.

Man arrested in Philadelphia eyed as Delco suspect
Authorities say a Philadelphia man, in custody for assaulting a city police officer, is a prime suspect in a string of burglaries in southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Derrick Carter, 33, is not currently charged with any burglaries in Delaware County, but police in several local jurisdictions believe he may be linked to a number of unsolved daytime break-ins.
There are currently active warrants for Carter's arrest out of Lower Merion for a Nov. 21 break-in and in New Castle County, Del., where he's wanted for two burglaries.
Deputy Police Chief John Livingood of the Abington Township Police Department, one of the lead agencies in a multijurisdictional burglary task force, said that while his department has no warrants for Carter at this time, the investigation is in its early stages.
"We anticipate more charges will be filed against Mr. Cater in the future from various jurisdictions, including ours," Livingood said. "We believe he's responsible for numerous burglaries."
Carter was arrested by Philadelphia police Monday at his home in the 4600 block of Sheffield Street. Law enforcement officers, including members of the Pennsylvania State Police, had tracked him and an accomplice from Delaware to Swarthmore, into Marple Township and elsewhere on Monday, police said.
At a town meeting in Nether Providence on Tuesday night, Police Chief Thomas Flannery said that while there currently are no arrest warrants for Carter out of his town, there is a "strong possibility" he is responsible for some or all of the seven daytime break-ins since August. Those cases, Flannery said, all have a "very similar M.O. as the other burglaries he's been accused of."
That M.O., according to Livingood, is "daytime, entry by usually by front or rear door, normally pried and jewelry and flat-screen TVs taken."
On Wednesday Flannery said there was another burglary reported earlier this week but it's unclear if it's related to Carter.
"We figure in the last three months we've had seven daytime burglaries very similar in the methods he's been accused of," Flannery said. Continued...
Swarthmore Police Chief Brian Craig confirmed his department is investigating several break-ins, including one on Monday on Walnut Lane.
A Pennsylvania State Police trooper flagged down Swarthmore Officer John Stilwell at 1 p.m. Monday and informed him that a task force was investigating a series of burglaries in the area. The task force had received information that the suspects were in the vicinity.
Stilwell and the trooper checked the neighborhood and found a rear door of a house in the 400 block of Walnut Lane had been forced open. The residents were contacted and it was later determined that the house had been burglarized. Craig said it was the second time this year that home had been targeted by burglars.
Craig said the investigation is ongoing, but there is not enough information to file charges at this point. His department is also working with Abington, Pennsylvania State Police and other departments.
Carter has an extensive criminal history dating to 1998. He has numerous convictions for crimes, including manufacturing, delivering controlled substance, carrying firearms without a license, reckless endangerment, false identification to law enforcement and driving under the influence, according to court records.
He was arrested in Philadelphia on burglary and related charges in January, but those charges were dismissed for lack of evidence, court records indicate.

Trent Bridge staged its first Test in 1899 and is a regular, and popular, fixture on the international circuit. It used to be the shared home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and Notts County Football Club, but when the football and cricket seasons were considered to have become too overlapped (as far back as 1910) the football club moved a couple of hundred yards away to Meadow Lane. Trent Bridge has been home to some of the finest cricketers in the world; Gary Sobers, Clive Rice and Richard Hadlee have all graced the ground and left a permanent mark on its history. It has hosted some memorable moments of international cricket; in 1965 Graeme and Peter Pollock led South Africa a famous victory; Graeme made a century that is still considered one of the finest innings played by a South African. In 1989 Mark Taylor and Geoff Marsh gave the England attack a day to forget, when they batted through the first day, reaching 301 without loss. The ground has undergone some significant developments over the years. The office block that is as much a part of Trent Bridge as the pavilion was built after a corner of the ground was sold off to make money, and more recently the Radcliffe Road and Fox Road stands, with their stylish architecture, have made Trent Bridge one of the best viewing grounds in the country. The Trent Bridge Inn is one of the best venues for a post-match drink.

About This Show
- Summary
A society of humans living in a distant galaxy is attacked by the Cylons; a race of robotic beings the humans themselves created. With no other choice but to face certain death, the remnants of humanity flee in a small fleet of remaining ships, with the Galactica, the only military Battlestar spacecraft left, as their first line of defense.
Led by a Laura Roslin, a woman who found herself thrust into the role of President thanks to the events of the attack, and William Adama, the commander of Galactica, the humans are driven by the goal of finding Earth, the mythical planet where it is believed their ancestors lived. In the meantime, the fleet is under constant threat from the Cylons, who seem determined to destroy them all. Making matters far worse, the Cylons can now be made to resemble humans, and some of the most trusted members of the fleet may not be who or what they seem to be...

2013 Ford Escape can tow 3,500 pounds with EcoBoost engine
The 2013 Ford Escape, which we saw at the Detroit auto show in January, will have a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, Ford said on Wednesday. That number easily bests four-cylinder-equipped competitors such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Kia Sportage and the Acura RDX.
Ford says the new engine will make enough power to pull two jet skis down to the lake with a trailer, or to drag a snowmobile to the frozen tundra. The Escape SUV also comes with sway control to keep that trailer in line behind the driver.
The EcoBoost engine replaces the 3.0-liter V6 in the current Escape without giving up power. The turbocharged 2.0-liter is rated at 237 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. Ford says fuel economy will be higher than the previous V6-powered Escape's ratings of 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
"Smaller-displacement engines have a fundamental efficiency advantage," said Roger Maynard, powertrain supervisor for the 2013 Ford Escape. "These inherent efficiencies are improved with the EcoBoost technology of direct fuel injection and turbocharging."
The new Escape will also offer a 1.6-liter EcoBoost four delivering 177 hp and a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four cylinder that makes 171 hp. The 2013 Escape will hit showroom floors later this spring.

Pod HD High Gain Tone Guide
Like (27)
I have made a rather detailed web guide to dialing in high gain tones on the Pod HD. I know it's a bit long, but it consists of numerous independent sections - you can probaby skip most of them) to getting the most out of your Pod HD, in regards to achieving high gain tones. I'm not sure if I want to expand on it any further or not, but I figure it's close enough to being done to go ahead and post. Here is the introduction:
"The purpose of this guide is to basically provide the details Line 6 failed to provide, mostly geared towards getting high gain tones with the Pod HD 500. It also applies to the Pod HD 300, 400, Desktop, and Pro; however, there may be a few things here and there impossible to do on the 300/400, or that don't make sense on the Desktop.
It may seem like I'm treading a lot of ground that the manual covered, but while I'm covering the same topics, I'm providing details on these topics that were not clearly spelled out, which I've learned through personal experience or from other members on this forum.
I primarily focus on high gain tones, but I also like some nice clean, classic rock, and blues tones. Some of the artists I've sought to emulate include SRV, EVH, Satch, Vai, Petrucci, KSE, Periphery, Meshuggah, Metallica, Randy Rhodes, AC/DC, and Opeth. If you can dial in all those sounds, you should have no problem dialing in almost any rock tone you want. I use all of the traditional rock and high gain amps, with the exception of of the JTM-45."
It also includes sections on guitar setup/hardware, hooking up the Pod in various configurations, defeating clipping/harshness, and various other tips/troubleshooting.
Hopefully this helps some of you out. If you see any errors or disagreeable content please let me know.
I have made a webpage with sample clips and patches attempting to somewhat emualate some metal/shred artists. Some are a lot closer to the actual artist's tone than others. I really just wanted to use all the amps and demo some of my tone-building techniques referenced in the guide. I am currently in the process of finalizing my latest patches and recording clips for them. I try to keep the latest versions available for download as I go along. They should be finalized by the end of April 2012.
Dec. 2012 Update: I have "finalized" (9_9) my patches, but have little time to record a new patch demo. See the link below for my latest patches.
This is brilliant - a very interesting and helpful read, Thanks for taking the time to share your insight and experience.
I read it.
Dude - you're a Good Egg!!!
Damn! That is really great, meambobbo. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't had a chance to read it entirely, yet, as I am at work.
I guess I will be the first...in 'Hooking It Up' I don't believe you mention that you can run the HD straight into a power amp for 'live' use. In my case a stereo Mesa 50/50...
Good Work!!!!!
I just wanted to express my appreciation for this guide. I downloaded it this morning (I converted it to PDF though, don't have MS Office). It comes off as an excellent complement to the instruction manual. Most of my experience on guitar is with an acoustic, so I admit to feeling completely overwhelmed with the HD500.
This guide looks like just the thing I needed. Not to explain exactly how to get the perfect tone in 10 easy steps, but to give me some context, point me in the right direction and let me do the rest. Thanks!
Nice one
Good stuff. I think you are going to be Mr Popular for putting this together.
I like the way it's presented and the way it's been put together. It is the kind of thing that newcomers to guitar and those of us that have been playing quite a while can dip in and out of, and there's some good clues in it which should help users find their own sound.
Well done from me - and thanks from me for putting in the considerable amount of time and effort that you must have in putting this together.
Best regards
Great ! Thanks. Have you uploaded some of your tones ?
Here is the PDF version of your guide: http://fileape.com/dl/6ZKo1kqph0MmVO0G (click Regular and wait 15 sec)
That's just great! There's a lot of stuff in there that Ihadn't really thought about and hadn't really considered. You can bet I'm going to be considering the gain staging of the signal chain as well as trying some of your eq hints. Very cool.
An excellent and very useful piece of work!
Many thanks for the endless hours this must have taken you. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much. I just read the whole thing. Very helpful and makes me want to go play so I can try many of things you suggested. Excellent insightful and useful information there.
Well done sir. I just downloaded it now and can't wait to deep dive into it tomorrow. From skimming the high gain amps I love the key advice to getting great djent tones. Thanks!
hey Texxxxx - actually that's section III.B.iii (it's how I run my amp):
"Simple setup for amp with effects loop: the simplest setting is nearly the same as above, but you run into the effects loop return (power amp in) on the amp. Use "Combo Power Amp" or "Stack Power Amp" output mode (or "Studio/Direct" and "no cab"), and set the line/amp switch to line.
Here you bypass your amp's pre-amp completely, and you will use the Pod's amp modeling instead. The downside is that you do not have the option to use your amp's pre-amp. If you want that option, you have to use the 4 cable method, described below.
Guitar > [external effects >] Pod guitar in
[Pod effects loop out > external effects > Pod effects loop return]
Pod unbalanced out > [external effects >] Amp effects loop return (power amp in)
This is how I run the Pod to my Spider Valve combo."
I'm very pleased so many people are enjoying this guide. Thanks Lef38 for the .pdf conversion - I added it to my site and edited the thread to include the link.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions - I hope to add some sound samples soon to demonstrate exactly what I mean, as well as patch files.
Cheers for all the hard work Meambobbo...........excellent document.
Had a little "play" with a few of your ideas last night........particularly liked the idea of using the Tube Screamer in front of the P75 amp model.Got some really nice tight gain tones using that.......also got good results using the Tube Driver,Classic Distion and Overdrive models with this amp also.
As an aside, I tried the same technique into the JTM 45 model and found I got the best results using the Classic Distortion and Overdrive models.(not going for "metal" tones with this model just tighter/fuller crunch/drive tones as I find this amp model to be to "bassy")
Am I right to assume that raising the gain slightly on each of the OD/DS sims will add some compression to the tone (in the same way as it does for the Screamer) and if I raise the gain on the OD/DS sim ( to 10, for example) do I also need to lower the output volume of the OD/DS........or does this negate the added compression??
Stay in the mix and in the know.

GOODY, Ky. – The Belfry Pirates continued to do what they do best – play good, solid fundamental football. They run the ball hard on offense, tackle their opponents on defense and win the game down in the trenches.
This hard-nosed football proved to be enough as the Pond Creek boys defeated visiting Bourbon County 35-10 Friday night to move on to the state championship game this Friday where they earned a rematch with Louisville Central.
But, first things first for coach Philip Haywood and his staff as they knew they had to beat an undefeated Bourbon County team that was led by their electrifying tailback Kentayvous Hopkins, an all-state candidate.
After the Pirate defense held the Colonels on their first possession of the night, Belfry took over and began marching the ball down the field. Super sophomore fullback Austin Hatfield, and fullback turned tailback Trinity Carr, took turns running the ball right at Bourbon County. The offensive line opened up holes and the two strong runners took advantage.
Carr took it in from 36 yards out for Belfry's first score with 7:49 left in the first quarter. Keilan Carr booted the extra point and the home team led 7-0.
Belfry's defense continued to bottle up Hopkins and quarterback Dalton Pope. Then the Pirate offense moved the ball into the red zone and the drive was capped off by a 1-yard Sani Warren quarterback sneak. Carr's kick gave Belfry a 14-0 lead.
Bourbon County finally got some life in the second quarter after recovering a Belfry fumble on the 46 yard line. Pope broke through on a keeper and ran the ball down to the Pirate 20-yard line. Pope then hooked up with Hayden Cox to the one yard line.
The Colonel's QB finally scored on a 2-yard keeper, capping a 13-play drive with 7.3 seconds left on the clock. With the extra point kick, it cut the Belfry lead 14-7 heading into the dressing room at the half.
Carr led Belfry with 67 yards in the first half on six carries, Hatfield had 64 on nine tries and Josh Robinson carried the rock five times for 46 yards.
The Pirate defense held Hopkins to only two net yards on the ground. He had three catches for 34 yards. Pope was 11-16 passing for 95 yards.
The Colonels carried their momentum into the third quarter and held Belfry on its first possession to a 3-and-out forcing a punt. Bourbon County took advantage of this, moving the ball down to the 20 yard line. Belfry's defense held them out of the end zone, but Josue Soriano was able to kick a 35-yard field goal to cut the lead to 14-10.
From that point it was all Belfry. The Pirates took over on their own 20 yard line after a good kickoff deep in the end zone.
Carr and Hatfield continued to run the ball hard. Carr hit pay-dirt from 8-yards out with 3:00 left in the third quarter. K. Carr's kick gave the Pirates a 21-10 advantage.
After the kickoff, Pope did not appear ready on the first play from scrimmage as the snap bounced off his chest and Belfry's Joey Duty pounced on the ball to recover the fumble on the 33 yard line. However, Belfry was unable to capitalize and turned it over on downs.
Belfry's defense came up big again and forced another punt by Bourbon County. The big play on the drive was a big tackle by Zack Thacker on a fourth down play on a screen pass.
The Pirates scored seven plays later as Warren scored his second TD of the night on a 3-yard keeper. K. Carr's kick was good and Belfry had some breathing room with 8:27 left in the game leading 28-10.
On Bourbon's next possession, Warren intercepted a pass on the 35 yard line and returned it for a TD. However, a clip brought the football back to the 35, but Belfry retained possession.
Then on the first play from scrimmage, Hatfield made the visitors pay as hit bulled his way to the end zone for a 35-yard touchdown. The kick made it 35-10 with 7:29 left in the final quarter.
Bourbon was unable to do anything with the football as the Belfry defense continued to strangle the Colonels.
Soon the celebration started as the Pirates rushed the field once the final buzzer echoed through Haywood Field.
"They are a tough football team," Haywood said after the game. "We had to take away the big plays and we did that. I thought our defense played exceptional tonight."
"Our coaches did a great job executing our game plan," Haywood said. He was also pleased with the large and boisterous Belfry crowd in attendance at the home playoff game. He said they definitely helped inspire the team.
Belfry now will have a rematch with an old state playoff rival – Louisville Central – who defeated Monroe County 18-13 in their semi-final game.
Score by quarter:
Bourbon … 0 7 3 0 - 10
Belfry … 7 7 7 14 - 35
Class 3A Semifinals - Scoring summary:
B-Trinity Carr 36 run (Keilan Carr kick); B-Sani Warren 1 run (K. Carr kick); BC-Dalton Pope 2 run (Josue Soriano kick); BC -Soriano 18 field goal; B -T. Carr 8 run (K. Carr kick); B - Warren 3 run (K. Carr kick); B - Austin Hatfield 36 run (K. Carr kick).

Column: Beyonce's lip-synched national anthem a metaphor for our times
There is much outrage, tittering and more about the revelation that Beyonce lip-synched the National Anthem at the Obama inauguration.Taken on its own, it's a wonderful symbol of our nation's current existence. Right after she performed, my Facebook and Twitter feeds lit up with adoring gushes that made it seem as though that was the most transcendent American moment ever, so the next day information that lip synching can now elicit deep emotional nationalistic feeling reveals just how shallow we've all become.
Does no one just put themselves out there anymore? Certainly not Yo Yo Ma who, it was pointed out, string-synched at the previous inauguration. I had forgotten about that, but upon being reminded, my first thought was, "that's stupid." And I'm sure no one felt stupider than Yo Yo Ma doing such a ridiculous thing.
So the argument has become about whether it is OK to be fake at the swearing in of our country's leader, at least in regard to the entertainment. No one is questioning whether it's okay for the president-elect to be fake, but they almost always are, right? It's like going to one of those coming out balls down south, where the white debs cling to a world that is gone, gone, gone, but they can fool themselves for one night that there is something of actual substance going on.
There's not, though. And there isn't at a presidential inauguration. It's all overblown pop stars phoning in a performance because it's too cold.
Thankfully, you can't escape the rigors of technology – they will always bring us back down to earth. A home video of one person's experience at the inauguration captures the metaphor better than any professional television cameras.
It's footage of the Beyonce performance via Jumbotron, which is how most of us normal citizens get to see the inauguration, standing in a park, in the cold, using our actual live voices to converse and cheer and sing.
The Jumbotron experience makes everything better, though. Watch gleefully as the audio portion not only keeps dropping out, but returns again and again as some kind of distorted electronic weirdness.
So not only do we get to see the bottled joy of Beyonce's national anthem performance, not only do we get to see someone who's invited to celebrate the president and can't sacrifice a moment of honesty in the freezing cold to just be an American, we get to see her chopped up into technological bits and spit out to the crowds.
There are chuckles after it's all over. Isn't that a little sad? The ascendancy of the first African American presidency into his second term has been reduced to a glitchy moment on a cheesy Dick Clark New Year's show.
That's the problem. We're so focused on the spectacle of our joy and sadness, so determined to make sure that our national moments are pristine, perfect, calculated to make everyone feel, that we forget how extremely terrible we are at actually doing so. Spectacle reveals us for what we really are, announces to anyone who is paying attention why we don't get anything done. Spectacle tells us that it's not important to know and do, it's just a matter of how we feel. Continued...
That's certainly how the Republicans have held onto their confused rabble – they feel angry and that party is willing to create bogeymen for that rage. The Democrats, on the other hand, count on the rest of us to feel hopeful, regardless of what reality tells us.
The government, too, is Beyonce on a stage, pretending to sing in the freezing cold, with the gathered masses huddled outside listening, but hearing only technical glitches that pierce the illusion and threaten to force reality onto them.
Oh, wait, this guy on the Internet says she wasn't lip synching.
Never mind. We're perfectly healthy as a nation.

POWDERSVILLE – Amidst a cold and steady rain, cancer survivors and relay participants circled the track of Wren High School for 12 hours last Friday night and Saturday morning for the American Cancer Society's 2013 Relay For life.
"On behalf of the 2013 Committee of this year's American Cancer Society Relay For Life of North Anderson, we would like to thank residents of Piedmont, Pelzer, Powdersville and Williamston for their generosity and support," said Event Chair Wes Porter.
A total of 28 relay teams participated in the all night event which ran from 7 p.m. Friday night to 7 a.m. Saturday morning.
"This outstanding show of support proves that the people of Piedmont, Pelzer, Powdersville and Williamston stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the American Cancer Society to achieve its mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures, and fighting back," said Porter.
The event opened with a survivor's lap as a crowd of caregivers, family, and friends cheered them on.
The second lap saw caregivers join the survivors in one final lap before the relay began.
"We were honored to be joined by the hundreds of survivors who walked the opening Survivors Lap, officially kicking off this year's event," Porter said. "These survivors are the reason we continue the fight. Their participation inspires hope in those currently battling cancer."
The event could not have taken place without the dedication of selfless volunteers.
"A special thanks to the many Relay For Life volunteers who worked to make this event a success celebrating the lives of those who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and pledging to fight back against the disease," Porter said. "The Relay For Life of North Anderson committee did an outstanding job of putting the event together."
According to Amanda Seawell, the Community Manager for the American Cancer Society, the goal was to raise $86,000, but fell just short at $75,000.
"We can still reach our goal of $86,000 through donations between now and August," Seawell said.
Next year's event will be again held at Wren High School on Friday night May 2, 2014.

Uncle Pen was introduced as a band favorite and dedicated to a fan in the crowd. Trey repeated the first line of Esther several times, as if he had forgotten the rest of the lyrics. Slave was played for Mike from "the Telluride contingency" and was preceded by Trey's story about the '88 Colorado tour. After Slave, Fishman came front and center to the tune of HYHU to tell his infamous "bear story." Afterwards, Trey referenced the July 30, 1988 Telluride show, where Fishman was late. Chalk Dust included Manteca teases.
This show was part of the "1991 Winter/Spring Tour."

Oldham Neighbourhood Wellbeing Index. A modified traffic light scheme is used in the maps with red - indicating rates ranked in the highest 10% band, amber - the high 11-25% band, light green - the low 11-25% and dark green - indicating rates ranked in the lowest 10%. In maps displaying rates across the four themes, neighbourhoods with rates ranked in the 26-74% band are white, whereas in maps of trends and sudden changes, those neighbourhoods are shaded yellow, whilst those in white show no trend or sudden change. White is also used for neighbourhoods where no persistently high or low rates are detected. It is in this way that the maps themselves act as visual exception reports.
