Is a $2,000 strat really better than a $400 strat?
September 01, 2007, 11:44:50 pm »
Okay, I know this is a can of worms but.....
There are like 30 different strats out there (or more). They are priced from the squire stuff up to the 'artist' custom shop things in roughly $100 increments from $200 to $2000. They are almost all alder bodies (a few ash) with a maple neck. It seems like the big difference is in hardware and electronics. What are your thoughts? When you buy a high end model what are you paying for? Am I missing something? It seems like picking out a standard strat thats feels good to you and upgrading pickups and hardware as needed could easily get you a player as fine as anything from the 'custom shop'.

Hmm, what are you paying for... LABOR for one, the higher end strat's usually have much more hand work on the necks, much better fret dressing, custom radiuses, rolled edges and yeah better hardware, tuners and slightly better pickups. If its a relic obviously you have to pay someone to distress it for you (silliest thing ever IMHO) and chemically alter the finishes etc to make it look vintage (as if that matters, but like I said IMHO).
Is it a WAY better guitar? Not on the ones I've tried at the 'Dyna can't afford it, but no one's stopping me from playing one Fender expensive room at Guitar Center'. I will say the necks felt a bit better, but I just can't justify 3 grand on a relic strat (or even 2 grand for a non relic strat or any strat for that matter). I love them to death, they're the most comfortable guitar to hold and play I've ever owned and what they do, they do REAL well. The one I own is a 90 american strat plus (roller nut, and originally had Lace pickups, now has Texas specials in it) which I bought because of some money I came into back then. I'd gladly play a 400 dollar MIM strat and be perfectly happy with it. Some might justify that much for like a VOS Les Paul but I donno, the strat IMHO just does'nt have the level of woodworking, bookmatching and overall finish to pay thousands for. Just my opinion of course worth what ya paid... :D

That is kinda my feeling on it. It is not rocket science. It is a hunk of wood that a CNC machine shapes up pretty much the same in mexico as anywhere else. I play mostly an '84 american strat and a Frankenstein strat assembled from god knows what. I also have a buddy with a '75 which feels very different because of the neck and his setup on the guitar. I just can't justify the price range and it seems like it has to be marketing.

My son has a Korean Squire. I have a 20 year old American Strat with Texas Specials. We A/B'ed them a few years ago with a number of amps. No one could hear the slightest difference between them. There was a difference in feel but it wasn't that one was better than the other, they just felt different, like a Les Paul and an SG feel different. Maybe the more expensive ones are more consistantly well made, I don't know, but you go to the store, try them out till you find one that feels right and you're all set. Hey, my son also has a cheap Yamaha Pacifica that wipes up the floor with any Strat I've ever played. If you believe the extra money buys you more, you'll probably find it.... but it's as much in the head as in the guitar.

Well said, Bluesbear ! The cost may or may not reflect a better axe.
I build my own guitars and like them alot better than the '62 strat I owned. It costs me around $425-450 in parts.

Word is that a MIM Jimmy Vaughan or Robert Cray Start is as good as a $2000 Strat. Though the Jimmy Vaughan street price, new, is $650, they can be had used for $400 or less. Also the Korean made early '90's Pro Tone Strats can be had for about $300 - $350 used. Another solution is to put a quality neck on a decent but inexpensive Strat body.

I agree completely with Bluesbear and others. I've pretty much always been a Strat guy, except for my relatively brief Jackson excursion back in the 80's. Even the Strats I had were Mexican models. I've always modded my guitars and amps and changed stuff to suit me, but I finally admitted that I just wasn't getting the tone and playability I wanted from my Strat and I naturally blamed the fact that it was a cheapo Mexican knock off. If I had a "real" Strat, the world would at last become perfect. I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted and I knew I could never afford a custom axe, so I was stymied.
I ended up making a list of all the features and specs I would want if I
afford a custom and I broke them down into a "must have" and a "nice, but not required" column. Out of curiosity, I started comparing every guitar on the market and actually found five guitars that had all of the "must have's" and some of the "nice, but not required's". To my surprise, none of them were even Fenders, much less Strats. Even more surprising was the fact that the one that had the most (nearly all) of the "nice, but not required's" was around $500, not the $2,000 or more that I expected. So, without much more deliberation, I bought it and it is without doubt the finest (for me) guitar I've ever played. I don't say this lightly as I've been playing for 25 years and I've plucked the strings on practically everything there is at one time or another.
The guitar? It's an ESP LTD MH350. I've always snubbed my nose at ESP and still don't consider myself an ESP guy. Then again, I have completely discarded my brand prefences for anything musical and I make my selections differently now. I also don't measure value by price tags anymore, either. I suspect that's why people buy our amps, too, instead of Fender, Marshall, Vox, etc., even though theirs may even be cheaper.

Yes, without question, a $2000 Strat is better than a $400 Strat. The question is, is it $1600 better? That one you'll have to decide for yourself, but do remember that the $2000 strat will hold it's value better than the $400 Strat.

I thought it odd that anyone would buy a pair of bluejeans that were ripped up and already worn out for the price of a fresh new pair but there are alot of people who do just that.
A ford escort would get you to your destination just as well as a corvette, but in 15 or 20 years the vette will hold more of it's value or be even more valuable than when it was new. Same with instruments.
I think that maybe a authintic Fender, Gibson, PRS, or an custom shop guitar will hold resale value alot longer than say a squire or a epiphone ect. If you look at Ebay the Fenders from the 70's era are fetching way more than they sold for originally.
I think if a person doesn't care what the name on the guitar is and it plays and sounds good to him then the price doesn't matter.
If I didn't make my own guitars, I think I would choose to buy either a high end Strat or Gibson Les Paul, I love the short scale length on Les Pauls, and angled neck of the Les Paul, but love the comfort and lighter weight of the Fender. Too bad they don't combine those features. guess that is why i like to make them, so I can get what i want.

A buddy of mine owns a music store and is always, "Play this, and this, and this.." He knows I'm a Strat guy and one day was just handing them to me to try. THey all felt clunky in the neck and then he handed me one that was absolutely purrrrfect. Neck was fantastic. I always play them acoustically before I plug them in and this one was head and tails above the others. What was it? I think it was a '58 reissue (?, can't remember), at $2000+. It was only when I got home and pulled out my much modified and banged up Jap copy from the '70s, that I realized that the neck and the acoustic properties were the same (except the scalloping)! IMveryHO, I think it boils down to what feels good to you and what sounds good out of whatever rig you are using. If you like the name as a collectible, buy it. Otherwise, if it feels good, hit it!

its the neck. I have a pair of bit strats, made from cool looking import bodies, If you can find a nice neck and a heavy bridge, youll have a highly playable strat that you can do whatever you want to. save your money. Imo $400-600 range strats are the best.

In the early 70s I was lucky enough to get a '65 LakePlacidBlue hardtail strat; the best Fender I ever owned.
(STILL kicking myself for letting it go)
That said, my current strat is a "Mother-Of-Tapioca-Pus" Jimmy Vaughan Tex-Mex. I added GraphTech stringsaver saddles, Sperzel locking tuners, and Texas-Special pickups...It is pretty much as good as my old one and the total investment was $500 US including the cost of the guitar!
I think that as long as the wood is good and the neck straight you are good to go; even with the cost of a pro setup (usually needed on most new Fenders other than the megabuck Custom-Shop models anyway)
You'll have a great player and won't be afraid to gig with it...I know I certainly wouldn't dare leave that old 65 on stage between sets!!

Last time a I brought my 69 LP to jam at a bar, my buddies hid it in the kitchen. We all had a good laugh - very funny stuff. It hasn't been out since. I just got a Washburn body & neck to build something LP-like and gig-able (I hope).
I agree that you can build a parts strat; or buy a decent used strat and upgrade things as necessary like shielding; pickups; wiring, pots and switches; neck - and wind up with a strat that looks, feels and sounds as good as a $2500+ boutique instrument, for $750 or less. And, you can do mods over time, spreading out costs.

I found myself waiting for someone to bring me an old twin reverb that I was buying from him. It just so happened he worked at a Guitar Center. I had about forty minutes to kill and what do I see but a wall with about 80 strats on it. First off the setup or lack of setup made comparison a little tough but here goes. Eric Johnson, my favorite by a narrow margin. Did not like the Clapton. the 50's and 60's models felt very nice. highway 1 nothing special. I did not plug anything in so who knows about the pickups. The models that seemed to most consistently play nicely were the mexi starts. The same was true of the teles also. The squire tele is not even too bad I think for the price. Anyway it kind confirmed what I suspected. It is also interesting to look at musicians friend's strat buying guide and see that they are all pretty much the same other than hardware and electronics.

My #1 now is a Squier Standard Tele I bought new a few years ago. It was set up very well right off the rack. I changed the pickups to Fender OV 52's. Now I have about $250 invested and it's a very good guitar. That left me enough $ left over for a Mission 5E3 kit. IMHO, that rig sounds about as good as it gets for 60's R&B.
I honestly think there is a major turning point in the price vs. quality curve at about $250.00. Not to be contentious, say $250-$400. Above that, I think you are seeing diminishing returns for additional money spent. Real, but diminishing. The basics of playability and tone have been accomplished.
None of which should imply criticism of those who do pay up for the more expensive instruments. These are personal preference choices and real differences. I would trade my Squire Tele for a custom shop Nocaster...

Sometimes I think a guitar is like a bottle of wine. Probably everyone will like a $20 bottle of wine. Once you get to $50 - $100 per bottle, the wine is probably going to have a personality - be distinctive. If you you don't like it, you might be happier with with a $20 bottle. The more expensive guitars start having selectable features in terms of wood choice for tone & appearance, nitro vs. poly finish, neck radius & contour; width @ nut; fret size; tuner choices; pickup choices, electronics & switching options, etc., etc.
If you begin developing personal preferences for these things, you can either do without, research a model that has the features you want; modify an existing guitar; have a custom guitar built; or do it yourself. Once you hit the $2000 range, there are enough models available that with some research you can probably find a "semi-custom" artist model that fits the bill. Again, you may be happier with a $200 Squier than with a $2000 artist model with features that you hate. E.g., if you hate the feel of a V-neck, then you won't like a Clapton Strat.

First and foremost, a good player can make any guitar sound good. Technique passes over any kind of bad pu or wood or neck.
With that said though, there are better Fenders/Gibsons i.e. my 51 Nocaster Custom Shop is far better than any other Tele-whether USA or Mexican or whatever. The level of finish is just superior and it is clearly a better playing playing/sounding guitar than others. How much better? Well, enough to justify the tag difference I think
BUT, everyone is mentioning building this and that. That really is not an apples to apples comparison with the original question in my opinion. Is there a difference between a Squire and a Custom Shop 54 Strat? Most certainly-from pu's to neck to tuners. Worth the money? I would say Yes if you did not want or know how to build a guitar.
I agree, the Vaughn strat is a steal of a guitar.

I'm always surprised with the hit-or-miss quality of guitars in music stores.
For the money, buying a few specialized tools, and doing your homework, you can build yourself a nice guitar.
I've only bought one electric guitar, and that was my first one, a Strat knockoff from music 123... I'll never buy another guitar cuz I build my own. I know it isn't for everybody, but for me, it's worlds above saving up several hundred $ to buy a brand name guitar. You can choose every feature, from the scale length to pickups to neck angle ETC ETC... and you can carve the neck and heel (if it's a glue-in neck) to fit your own hand exactly! :)

Skelton feels like he has chance to start for Cardinals
Originally published: Apr 17, 2012 - 1:11 pm
Skelton completed 54.9 percent of his passes, tossing 11 touchdowns to go along with 14 interceptions.
He also led the Cardinals to six of their eight victories, and played well enough that head coach Ken Whisenhunt said following the season that there would be a competition between Skelton and Kevin Kolb for the starting gig in 2012.
The plan took a small detour in March when the team pursued QB Peyton Manning, but alas the former Colt signed with the Broncos.
Skelton understood the team's interest in Manning.
"He's a great player, he's a surefire Hall of Fame guy, why would you not want him in your locker room," Skelton said. "It works out either way, whether they brought him in or they didn't.
"Kevin and I are just going to go on like it never happened."
That means continuing on with the idea that he has a chance to be the team's starter entering 2012.
"[The coaches] said it will be an open competition and I'm sure we're both going to go in there with that mind-set," Skelton said of his chances to be the starting QB. "Whether one of us is proclaimed the starter or not, we're both going to work our tails off."
The 24-year-old out of Fordham, though, is far from a finished product. While he showed a knack for rallying the team late in games, often times it was Skelton's miscues that put the team in a hole to begin with.
So, the next few months will be of the utmost important to the former fifth-round pick, as he looks to make significant improvements to his game during his first full offseason.
"I still have to get the playbook down completely, I have to be able to make those surefire reads and throws and everything, and just continue to get better," he said.

Before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
I would like to discuss our unanimous recommendation that the Federal Trade Commission Act be amended to eliminate the special exemption for telecommunications common carriers.
When the common carrier exemption was included in the FTC Act almost 90 years ago, the exemption made sense. The Commission was given the authority to attack "unfair methods of competition." It was logical to exempt the monopoly providers of common carrier services, who were not disciplined by competition but rather by detailed rate and service regulation.
Since that time, the telecommunications industry has changed dramatically and, perhaps even more important, the regulatory role of the federal government has also changed dramatically. Let me summarize some of the changes that are particularly significant:
1. The common carrier activities of telecom companies are less regulated by government fiat and more by competition today. At the same time, telecom companies have been allowed to expand into non common-carrier activities, like internet services. They provide these services in competition with companies that are unqualifiedly subject to our jurisdiction. These telecom companies no longer occupy a special niche in our economy.
2. Over the last century, you have passed myriad laws and regulations, and created entirely new agencies to monitor and regulate specific activities of business enterprises, whether they are common carriers or not. Sector specific regulation, of the kind that the FCC or the FDA provides, has been supplemented everywhere by specific substantive law enforcement of agencies like the SEC, OSHA or the EPA - - agencies that, like the FTC, have a broad jurisdiction over a large number of sectors but monitor a limited range of activities in any one sector. We no longer look to a single government agency to address all problems that may arise in a single sector.
3. We in the FTC have a long experience cooperating with other agencies, to avoid duplication or inconsistency in these situations. Specifically, we want to cooperate with the FCC, and we have no ability or desire to intrude into the FCC's core mission as gatekeeper into the limited communications spectrum. We do not make the same kinds of "public interest" determinations that they do; we are not concerned with the qualifications of companies that compete or the nature of services that they provide. The core mission that you have assigned to us is to see that any company, whatever it does, conducts its business with fairness and with honesty. In carrying out that mission, we have acquired an in-house expertise and a body of precedents that I really believe are unmatched anywhere in this country or, indeed, the world.
Some ask why we are asking for change after all these years. This is a fair question.
The short answer is that technologies are continually converging and we have become increasingly frustrated by our inability to obtain complete relief in situations where (a) there are multiple parties, some who are common carriers and some who are not; (b) where a common carrier engages in deceptive practices involving a mix of common carrier and non-common carrier activities; or (c) the jurisdiction lines are unclear and resources are wasted dealing with an issue that has nothing to do with the merits. Finally, an admitted common carrier may engage in deceptive practices that are similar to those we see all the time, that do the same consumer harm, and for which we have special remedies - - but we are paralyzed by the jurisdictional barrier.
Potential agency overlaps may require discussion and cooperation. We have had an ongoing exchange with the FCC on this subject. However, this problem is not nearly as bad as a situation where companies engaged in the same conduct in competition with one another are subject to different regulatory regimes.
In conclusion, let me assure you that we do not want to intrude into other agencies' business and we do not seek to impose remedial relief absent a need for it. But, you decided long ago that the issues we are talking about here are our business, and we cannot do the best possible job for consumers, whom we both seek to serve, while we are constrained by a barrier that has long outlived its usefulness.

Kobo Touch e-Reader – as a gift
My sister in law's birthday was last month. She wanted Kindle as her birthday present. But the problem is Kindle is not sold here (not officially). Even if I did buy her Kindle from US but she won't be able to buy books online because Malaysia is one of the country where Amazon doesn't provide e-books to.
I have an e-book reader in my Samsung Note and I buy books from online too. I realised that Note has the Kobo software which is the first e-book store that is accessible by most of the country. Kobo has a few e-book reader that you can choose from and the version I got for my sister in law was the Kobo Touch e-Reader. Unfortunately, Amazon do not ship to Malaysia directly, so I had to get the http://hopshopgo.com to send it to me.
I was quite disappointed with the size when I received it because the size of the screen was rather small. I noticed that my 5.3″ Note and the 6″ Touch e-Reader screen size are not much of difference. However, the special E-Ink Display is an awesome technology where you don't see the reader as a mini tablet but it looks exactly like a paperback. I enjoyed reading books from it as it does not tire my eyes. This is one of the main reason why many opt for an e-Reader despite having a Reader software in their smartphone. Personally, I wouldn't mind getting this for myself because it is so thin, light and easy to read. Since, it has wifi in it, I am able to download any e-book whenever I want (provided there is an online facility around ) I love the fact that I can read the Reader lying down on my bed using only one hand and in one single tap, the page turns… you don't even need to use your other hand (yes, I am very lazy to use both hands..hehehe… very painful la to keep your hands up so long )
Oohhh… one more interesting thing is, you can win fun awards and gain insight into your unique eReading fingerprint with Reading Life Stats in which you can track the minutes per reading session of your current read, the number of pages you've turned, plus see an overview of books completed in your library…
I bought the e-book for USD 110 from Amazon. If you are interested you can check out Kobobooks for more information

I just wanted to throw the question out there with the Protein Progenex in particular. (I know theres quite a few protein shake questions out there already). Any clean protein recommendations would be great.
I just want to find the least processed recovery drink out there and I want to use the cleanest product available to me. I know whey typically causes an insulin spike and am willing to forsake it a little bit especially because natural sources like chicken or eggs aren't nearly as immediately bio-available as a hydrolzed protein isolate.
It's a pain in the ass but thoughts. The only real evil i see (excluding whey :) ) is fructose.

That peanut butter burger is not as odd as it might seem. I have seen this around various places for a number of years. First place was Rory's in San Diego, the forerunner of the Corvette Diner It's known as the Purvis up at the XXX in Lafayette. We used to do it every now and then at The Creekside Lodge in Crawfordsville. (still do on crazy buger Thursdays). I do it at home all the time. I believe tho it originated at The Big Top, Big Wheel something like that in Missouri back in the 60's. It is a mighty tasty burger.
As a kid, I made and ate a Pepto Bismol and garlic sandwich. I don't recommend it.
I do recommend a butter, tomato and red onion sandwich, though.
Feeling like John Galt in a world of James Taggarts
So is it as simple as just putting peanut butter on the bun? Or is it actually mixed in the burger itself?

U.S. still headed toward 'fiscal cliff'
WASHINGTON — One of President Barack Obama's Senate allies said Thursday that an increase in the Medicare eligibility age is "no longer one of the items being considered by the White House" in negotiations with top Republicans on avoiding the so-called fiscal cliff.
Obama's fellow Illinois Democrat, Sen. Dick Durbin, however, told reporters that he did not get the information directly from the president or the White House. But he is regularly apprised of the status of negotiations.
Increasing the eligibility age is a key demand by Republicans seeking cost curbs in popular benefit programs in exchange for higher tax revenues.
Durbin's remarks came as a frustrated House Speaker John Boehner again accused President Barack Obama of dragging out negotiations on any agreement to avoid a "fiscal cliff" of wide-ranging tax increases and spending cuts that will automatically be triggered in less than three weeks. The two sides appear far apart, and Boehner is scheduled to return home to Ohio on Friday, his office confirmed, though he remains available for negotiations by phone.
"Unfortunately, the White House is so unserious about cutting spending that it appears willing to slow-walk any agreement and walk our economy right up to the fiscal cliff," Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters Thursday. "And doing that puts jobs in our country in danger."
Durbin's comments on the Medicare eligibility age were surprising, since top Senate Democrats like Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, have been careful to not preclude the possibility of agreeing to such an increase — perhaps as a late-stage concession in a potential deal between Obama and Boehner.
"I was told it's not on the table from the White House," Durbin said. "Now that remains to be seen."
At a news conference, Reid again called on House Republicans to allow a vote on renewing Bush-era tax cuts for the 98 percent of taxpayers whose incomes are below $250,000. Obama vows to force rates on family income exceeding $250,000 from a top rate of 35 percent to the Clinton-era rate of 39.6 percent. He said the alternative is to allow tax cuts for everyone to expire.
"At some point, reality should set in," Reid said.
Reid cited comments by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to Politico.com, in which the incoming No. 2 Senate Republican said, "I believe we're going to pass the $250,000 and below sooner or later, and we really don't have much leverage" because those rates are going to expire anyway on Dec. 31. Continued...
On Thursday, Sen. Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican and leading conservative figure, predicted that Obama would prevail in the fight over taxes.
A leading conservative who's resigning from the Senate is predicting that President Barack Obama will win the battle over raising taxes.
"He's going to get his wish. I believe we're going to be raising taxes, and not just on the top earners," DeMint, who is leaving the Senate to become president of the Heritage Institution think tank, said in an appearance on "CBS This Morning."
DeMint said a tax increase would amount to a "political trophy" for Obama but said it would be bad for the country.
Boehner said he would reject White House demands that as part of a deal, Congress agree to give up much of its ability to block increases in the government's ability to borrow money. The Treasury is expected to run out of its power to borrow more money early next year — a situation that congressional Republicans successfully used last year to demand spending cuts from Obama.
"Congress is never going to give up our ability to control the purse," Boehner said. "And the fact is that the debt limit ought to be used to bring fiscal sanity to Washington, D.C."
Obama planned to make his case on the fiscal cliff in interviews Thursday afternoon with four local television stations in Philadelphia, Miami, Minneapolis and Sacramento, Calif. The TV markets reach viewers in congressional districts represented by Republican House members but won by Obama in last month's election.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama was "interested in communicating to Americans in every corner of the country about his commitment to work in bipartisan fashion with Congress to ensure that income taxes don't go up on middle class families at the end of the year."
Republicans still aren't budging on Obama's demands for higher tax rates on upper bracket earners, despite the president's convincing election victory and opinion polls showing support for the idea.
Democrats in turn are now resisting steps, such as raising the eligibility age for Medicare, that they were willing to consider just a year and a half ago, when Boehner was in a better tactical position. Continued...
Neither side has given much ground, and Boehner's exchange of proposals with Obama seemed to generate hard feelings more than progress. The White House has slightly reduced its demands on taxes — from $1.6 trillion over a decade to $1.4 trillion — but isn't yielding on demands that rates rise for wealthier earners.
Boehner responded with an offer very much like one he gave the White House more than a week ago that proposed $800 billion in new revenue, half of Obama's demand. Boehner is also pressing for an increase in the Medicare eligibility age and a stingier cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients.
There is increasing concern about a Dec. 31 deadline to stop the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and the start of across-the-board spending cuts that are the result of Washington's failure to complete a deficit-reduction deal last year. Even if an agreement can be reached, the halting pace of negotiations is jeopardizing chances that it could be written into proper legislative form and passed through both House and Senate before the new Congress convenes on Jan. 3.
"I do have an increasing concern that the speaker ... is trying to string this out until Jan. 3 because that's when he would be re-elected as speaker," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. "And I think he's nervous that if he can't get a majority of his House Republican members to support a reasonable agreement that that could put his speakership election in jeopardy. And so that might cause him to try and string these talks" along.
Republicans say it's Democrats who are dragging out the talks.
"In the past 48 hours, the president has not been negotiating in good faith in my opinion," said Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio, who said he was increasingly pessimistic that a deal could be reached.

Handful Of Soul
CD (Item 440901) Schema (Italy), 2006 — Condition: New Copy
An incredible full length debut from vocalist Mario Biondi – a jazz singer we'd rank right up there with the legendary Mark Murphy – supported here with great backings from the High Five Quintet! The grooves here are in a soaring, tightly-stepping style – very much the best club jazz mode of the contemporary European scene – with all-acoustic instrumentation, and rhythms that move along at a really great dancefloor pace! Mario's vocals are really unique too – with a little rasp that catches slightly, and really brings a timeless quality to his voice – mixing personal feeling into the lively numbers on the album, with an unexpected depth that really makes the album stand out from similar sessions of this type! There's echoes of hip vocal jazz work from years past by artists like The Peddlers, Bobby Cole, or Mark Murphy – and titles include "A Child Runs Free", "No Mercy For Me", "This Is What You Are", "I Can't Keep From Cryin Sometimes", "Rio De Janeiro Blue", "Handful Of Soul", "On A Clear Day", "Never Die", "No Trouble On The Mountain", "Slow Hot Wind", and "Gig". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Lady Eagles Excited About Postseason
By: BCH Sports
Updated: February 7, 2013
The Abilene High Lady Eagles are one of the teams from the Big Country that is in the post season. When the season started, most didn't think they would make it to the playoffs, but new head coach Laura Lange changed the mentality of the program.
It's hard to argue with the results. Look where they are now.
Katelyn Goodman says, "We had to adjust to a different mindset and more of accountability for each other and the coaches. It's really fun to know that we can count on each other and go out there and have fun, but know that everybody is working hard."
Tiana Evans added. "Day 1 was pretty rough. In the off-season, we pushed really hard. We worked hard. We got to the season and that lightened up, a little bit, but we kept working hard. Now, after (getting into the) playoffs, we feel good about it, but we are still working hard."
The Lady Eagles first playoff game is in Odessa on Tuesday against El Paso Bel Air.

If the Spanish Naturist Federation can call for a día sin bañadores (Day WithOut Bathing Suits—DWOBS), as it did in July 2007 and 2008, for anyone visiting any beach, so can Canada! Vancouverites decided to do the same at Wreck Beach on August 31, 2008 (after our August 23 date was defeated by unseasonably cold weather). Even though we don't have the freedom in North America that Spanish beaches do with topfreedom and nudity, if we continue to encourage body acceptance over body shame, our day will come.
Just as the Spanish media pre-publicized their day, so did our wonderful media here. CBC television, CKNW Radio, 24 Hours, and Canadian Press gave us great "coverage." One station even referred to our rain date as our "shrivel date"!
It was chilly again on the eventual Body Acceptance Day (BAD) 2008. Still, folks loved the idea of the naked passports we distributed to those brave enough to forgo their clothing after checking out the multi-coloured Body Acceptance Machine (BAM). It's a large tent that clothed people crawl into to be "churned out" naked, to the sound of a hailer making its siren noise!
The visas
The visas are beach activities for which you get signatures, provided you are naked when you do so. You may still order food, for example, if you are clothed, but in that case you cannot get your naked passport signed in the naked dining visa.
Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, we were able to present our 50/50 raffle winner with a sizeable chunk of change at the end of the day. We also operated our skin cancer screening checkpoints and provided body painting, which many folks thoroughly enjoyed receiving. One woman was transformed into a pirate buccaneer before she plied her spatula at the grill.
Next year we challenge all of Canada to get on board with us for Canada's second annual Body Acceptance Day, July 19. We suggest that discount coupons from area merchants be included in those naked passports. Those fun passports read, in part: "In case of severe sunburn or other beach calamity such as tan lines, please notify the nearest Naturist diplomatic or consular office and the individual named below…"
Fédération québécoise de naturisme | International Naturist Federation |
The Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) and the Fédération québécoise de naturisme (FQN) share the Canadian membership in the International Naturist Federation (INF), which has its world headquarters in Antwerp, Belgium. |

McCormick 10-20 clutchMy clutch is stuck (drive all the time) position. Hopefully I can free it up by rocking it back and forth or something. Is it a good idea to block these clutches on 10-20s and f20s and such during storage periods? Is there anything I can spray onto the plates that might help in the freeing up process? Thanks,
Re: McCormick 10-20 clutchI block the clutches in the down or disconnected position on my WD Allis Chamlers for long term winter storeage.

Last Friday, Jessica Roake over at Slate lamented the fall of Holden Caulfield in the esteem of modern teenagers — "The problem is that Catcher in the Rye is no longer a book for cool high school students," she writes. "Catcher in the Rye is a book for cool high school teachers." A host of factors have added to the books current lack of cool, the most important probably being its ubiquitousness on modern high school syllabi — how can something truly feel underground, transformative, if your teachers are assigning it?
"The perfect teenage book should feel like it's being passed around secretly, its message too raw and powerful for adults to understand," Roake explains. "It should inspire highlighting and ponderous margin notes that embarrass you 20 years later. Most of all, it should feel like it's speaking directly to you, and only you, even if everyone else in your class is working on the same essay question." We totally concur, and after the jump, we've put forward ten novels that we think might just have the chops to replace our beloved Catcher in our collective teenage imaginations. But then again, maybe nothing will ever replace it. Click through to check out our list, and if you don't see your favorite, add and argue in the comments. … Read More

Marketing Madness
Nov 01, 2012 | by Skylar Flax-Davidson
On November 1, 2012, the Vanderbilt Marketing Association hosted the annual Marketing Madness competition. Students competed to create the best "on-brand" tradeshow booth featuring strategically-aligned food, games, and activities. Great companies donated product to the event including Miller Genuine Draft, Georgia Pacific, Mattel, and many more. The Crest team placed first for their instructive demonstration of how Crest toothpaste fights gingivitis. The Olay team placed second for creating a serene environment focused on rejuventation (despite all the chaos happening around the booth). Congrats to all participants for putting on a great event!

Acupuncture involves shallow piercing of the skin with small needles at specific points. Traditional Chinese practitioners theorize that the points connect with energy conducting meridians, affecting spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance of the opposing forces of yin and yang. Western scientists suggest that stimulation with the needles may enhance or inhibit nerve conduction.
Fibromyalgia is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause is still unknown. Fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendonsthe fibrous tissues in the body.
A Requestor has asked that CMS change the current national coverage determination from one of non-coverage of acupuncture to allow national coverage of this therapy. CMS will review the scientific evidence and determine if this procedure would be a reasonable and necessary service for Medicare beneficiaries.
December 2,2002
CMS staff worked with requestor to complete formal request, including gathering appropriate evidence, and formally accepted request today for review.
CMS has requested a Technology Assessment (TA) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) on for a review of the literature available on acupuncture. The CMS Decision Memorandum will be posted within 60 days of receipt of the TA.

Adjustment handle is located inside the space between the seat pad and the right armrest--you can't see it in the photos...this is awkward to adjust. The foot rest is not easy to lock back in when getting up. BUT, this is one very comfortable chair, and I would have bought it despite its shortcomings mentioned here.

Catnapper and Cymax have offered no support and will not stand behind the warranty provided. I have made several attempts to resolve.

[...]. The chair is comfortable and the leather is good quality. I'm having some trouble with the reclining mechanism, but don't know if it will loosen-up or if I'll have to call Catnapper for repair. I wished the reclining handle was on the outside of the chair instead of between the seat and the arm (lost one star). All-in-all I am happy with the experience and would order from Cymax again. I would like to thank Josh L (Cymax cust.serv.) for his attention and help with this order.

UAA Launches New Ad Campaign to Attract StudentsUniversity spending half a million dollars burnishing its imageANCHORAGE - You could call it a new way to look at UAA – and the hope is that it will attract more students and donors. The university has launched a new image campaign that showcases the achievements of students and staff. "There are so many interesting things happening here," said UAA's Public Relations Specialist Jessica Hamlin. "Our students come from all walks of life, there is innovative research happening here on our campus, and we wanted to use this opportunity to tell those stories." The university wants to get the word out to the community that good things are happening at UAA, so they've invested $500,000 on a new ad campaign to prove it. But they are also selling the idea to students, who, in the past, may not have thought of the university as a cool school to attend. Bridgett Mackey is a UAA alumnus who said the school's reputation has changed in recent years. "I graduated in 2002 myself, and there was still a stigma then," said Mackey. "A lot of my friends, when you told them you were going to UAA, would say, 'Why aren't you going outside?' I don't think that's the case anymore." The new campaign includes three television ads that starting airing statewide on Monday. There's also plenty of evidence of the new brand on campus, including bus wraps, banners and T-shirts. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Wednesday, Feb 20 at 12:37 PM My first semester here has been unbelievable. I don't know why UAA has been such a secret in this state. I haven't thought twice about my decision. Now if we could win some hockey -- watch out! Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

U.S. Heat Records Demolish Cold Records 13th Month in a Row; January Ending With Incredible Ratio of 27.5 to 1 in Lower 48
For reasons that no major U.S. news outlet can apparently explain, it has been really, really warm in the middle of winter over much of the country. How warm is it? It is so damn warm:
- "Dick Cheney waterboarded himself."
- "Charlie Sheen was snorting actual snow."
- "I saw Rupert Murdoch trying to hack his way into a Cold Stone Creamery.".
- "Congress had to install a fan on the debt ceiling."
It was so damn warm that the New York Times ran this amazing story:
Now this is just the paper's City Room blog, so it is almost understandable that the article never mentions global warming. But the L.A. Times actually wrote an entire story the same day trying to explain why most of the country missed out on winter:
That story was filed under "news/science" — so climatologist Michael Mann rightly tweeted that it was "simply journalistic malpractice" to omit any mention of global warming in the story. Indeed, as we'll see, that omission was beyond absurd in this case.
But first, it is important to point out that this isn't the case of just a few warm days over part of the country. January has, statistically, seen an extremely off the charts heat wave for the whole month for most of the country.
Steve Scolnik at Capital Climate analyzed the data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center and found U.S. heat records have been outnumbering cold records by a stunning amount, as this chart shows:

Video: Tips to Avoid Glare in Your Dash
Bright glare on the stereo display has plagued us for as long as we've had the sun and car stereos. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it. But sometimes there is. We found that there are some stereo features that can definitely help, like being able to change the display color, increasing the brightness and contrast, and best of all, being able to tilt the display to remove the glare. Check out our examination of the "glare problem" in this video, and keep these things in mind when shopping for a new car receiver — if your current stereo is plagued by glare, then a replacement stereo will be too.

Rochester Hills student Owen Groesser made history — on the court and across Twitter feeds Wednesday.
Groesser, a middle school student with Down syndrome, made two sets of three-pointers in Van Hoosen Middle School's final home basketball game Wednesday, ESPN reported.
According to ESPN's ABC affiliate WXYZ TV, Channel 7, Groesser had not played basketball this season for his school.
But after entering late in the game, Groesser received a pass beyond the arc and sank a three-pointer to amazement from the crowd, according to ESPN. He made another three-pointer and finished with six points in approximately two minutes of playing time, the article said.

After the game, Groesser's friends and teammates launched a Twitter campaign called #GetOwenOnSportsCenter, which trended as highlights of the game spread on the web, according to ESPN.
Groesser's feats were highlighted on "SportsCenter's" Top-10 highlights Wednesday night.
His father, Chris, said in an ESPN interview Thursday that Groesser's coach is making arrangements for him to play in the team's final away game 5 p.m. today.

Fantastic performance by Owen and the students and staff that worked together to make this special moment happen. The smiles on the faces of Owen and his teammates tell a beautiful story.

I'd like to give some credit to Coach Jeff Howell at Van Hoosen who not only chose Owen to be the basketball teams manager but then dressed him for the Ruether game that allowed him to play.
Congratulations to Owen and Van Hoosen Middle School. Great stuff.

Error description and message
Great addition to my board, thank you very much for creating it!
On my live board everything is working fine, it's on my test forum (the place I test mods etc.) I'm having a problem.
I've uploaded all forum files and restored the database, everything in the forum seems to work fine but in the Gallery many images are missing. It shows as broken link, no thumbnail or larger image.
This concerns me because if ever I need to restore my forum or database I need to know I can get back up and running.
Ive tried many times uploading ALL forum and Gallery files as well as restoring earlier database but same problem.
Could this be a permissions problem? I believe I have all albums set to allow guest accounts to view but I'll look into that further.
Thanks for the help!
