A very comfortable hotel in Charlottenburg, which is the nicest area of Berlin. I got a very good deal on a four-day stay booking the morning of the day... I checked in. The U-bahn is just down the road and Berlin's transport system is amongst the best in the world, so it's very easy to get to other parts of the city. Charlottenburg itself is full of beautiful shops and great bars and restaurants. But, as other reviewers have pointed out, it's best to be at least conversant in German to go here as all the staff, including in the attached bar and restaurant, prefer to speak their own language, which is understandable. Luckily I can, and as a result everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The single room I occupied had a comfortable bed and a great bathroom and was very quiet. A very good internet connection is also available for free. oleh Andy dari dari UK pada 08/05/2013

Enigma Machine
In-form man of the season, Graeme S-Works Destroyer Raeburn, has today begun the Cent Cols Challenge as part of a plucky Rapha team of four that also includes Portland's Ira Ryan, RoadCyclingUK's David Arthur, and our Rapha competition winner, Nick Amlot.
The question, for a man hell-bent on the extreme is, what bike is up to the task? Apparently, there is only one answer: The Enigma Elite XCR. Made from a very exotic tubeset, Mark Reilly of Enigma Bikes says:
XCR, what can I say? I think it's the best steel tubeset I have ever ridden, the ride is absolutely incredible. The raw tubes themselves are finished to superb standard, and it's a joy to work with!
Receiving his Enigma last Friday, Graeme built it up with his own handbuilt wheels (Mavic Open Pros on Chris King hubs), Dura Ace groupset, Thomson seatpost and stem, Specialized saddle and Pro carbon bars.
Graeme says of his new ride:
Superb work. Very comfortable ride from the XCr […] sharp yet compliant handling, light, and superb fit (what? no 10 inch drop to the bars?!), for want of a less tacky expression I'd describe it 'dreamlike'.
Here's wishing Graeme the best of luck on his Cent Cols adventure.

Great article Tony,
Tried Red Bull once and it made my heart hurt...
Here's an excerpt from wikipedia for "cutting agent"...
"Although cutting is much rarer than it used to be in some places, street drugs are still commonly cut with substances such as mannitol, inositol..."

Couldn't be more true, it appears to be the current trend for companies to flood the market with as many energy drinks as they can no matter if they are actually any good or not....yesterday I was at Walgreens and the amount of energy drinks they had in one section was absurd, even Coco Cola have their own Full Throttle energy drinks which are loaded with sugar. It's greed that drives big companies like this to produce vile sugar drinks and brand them as healthy...

"It's one of our most popular drinks," says Ryan Thomas, publicist for the New York City club TWILO, one of the first to sell Red Bull in mixed drinks. "With alcohol, it gives the strange feeling of bringing you up and slowing you down at the same time."
You see, Tony, this is the typical "do-what-feels-good and anything-goes" mindset that rules many social situations in our big cities today. I mean, you have top advertising and industry CEOs sanctioning the use of this crap in a can--what's Joe Q. Public to do? Well, I guess he'll just drink it when a guy making seven figures and living in a pleasure palace up in Greenwich says it's good for you?!?
It turns out taurine is a naturally occurring compound found in bull testicles. But the same compound can also be found in the blood of fish, cows, and humans, among other creatures. Wow, what a great idea! Let's package and market bull balls in a can. The chics will love you for it!
I hear the company recently moved from Austria to Santa Monica. Tony, you should definitely go down there and show 'em you don't need no bull sh*t to get in shape!
More durable, less vulnerable!

Hi Tony,
My name is Jenn and I have been working out with you for years. I am a nutrition coach and the Director of a not for profit Wellness Center focused on plant based nutrition in East Hampton NY. I spend much of my time educating people, particularly kids about what is really in the products they consume. I can't agree more with what you have written here. When I recently spoke at a local school I brought samples of all the junk food kids eat/drink and I also had a display of healthy whole foods. Of course the kids gravitated to the junk, one of the big attractions was the red bull. Then I teach kids how to read labels and what things really mean. When we finished one of the young boys declared "Red bull should come with a warning label." Out of the mouths of babes. I am always inspired by your blogs and love reading them. Thanks for the inspiration and helping me transform my body from the Standard American Body to a ripped Xtreme life loving machine. We are blessed to have you on this planet.

I know it is bad for you, but I have had one a few times to get me going. I really wish Beachbody would come out with a "pre-workout" drink, for those days you need a little kick in the pants to get going. - 12:05 PM
- K.C. Farmer said...
Unless it's an FDA approved medication it's let the buyer beware. Then again, better be careful with those too.
Sad to see that the FDA places crap like Red Bull in the same category as the P90X Recovery Drink. What this means is that consumers, particularly kids, are put into a position where marketing hype has more influence than scientific evidence. Then again, even if you have all of the scientific evidence to prove your product has legitimate health benefits, the FDA won't allow you to advertise that fact. It makes separating the good from the bad just that much harder.
Given that we live in a free society (to a point, but more so than most other countries), the responsibility to protect one's health falls on the individual. The best we can do is get the word out that products like Red Bull may give you a boost, but there is a price you'll pay in the long run. - 11:43 AM

Hi Tony! I guess I'm having Tony withdrawals. I'm back on the wagon workout wise (finally).
My plan: Sunday: one hour treadmill;Monday: 1/2hr treadmill, p90 sculpt 3/4;Tuesday: yoga class;Wednesday: 1hr treadmill;Thursday: yoga class and 1/2 hour treadmill;Friday 1/2hr treadmill p90 Sculpt; Saturday: rest and or see if I can get my sister out on the tennis court. This is on my calendar for all of August. (btw yoga class was cancelled today so I did phh stretch and the hawaii yoga thang and it was pretty equivalent to the parks and recs class I'm in this Summer with my sister)
My eating is getting cleaner and cleaner. Way over 50% anyway lol. I never really liked red bull but I hear it's good with vodka....hehehehe

Tony, Just had to let you know I went with a group of teens on a church retreat and one of the girls - 12 yrs old at the time - wanted a Red Bull. I refused to let her have it because her Mom was not there. She said her Mom lets her have it. When we got home her Mom said yes, she did let her kid have one after sports when they were really tired to give them energy. I have to say I was SHOCKED! I don't think people have any idea what they are consuming. These are growing kids and their bodies take a beating and they aren't even fully developed. We really need some education out there.

I'm involved with the company, Vemma, and love the product. They are coming out with a healthy energy drink called Verve. It's not available until September so I'll have to review the contents but it is supposed to be the world's first healthy energy drink.
Anyhow, to reinforce your point, check out this article about a poor guy who's heart stopped after overdosing on Red Bull:

OK..here's one for you....my daughter's 17 year friend went to the doctor and thru a urine test they could determine that she drinks lots of Go Girl! Energy drink....because of the large dose of two chemicals found!!! Yuck.... Great marketing...cute pink can ....About a year back I was traveling and thought I would tried one of these "energy drink"....oh,my god...about a half an hour later I felt like I was having a out of body experiend and it was not a good one...just the weirdest feeling ever...my fingers started going numb.....Never, ever again....Thanks for all that you do Tony!!

I seem to recall Red Bull was originally a primary sponsor often seen on the bodies and bikes of professional triathletes. I remember watching Natasha Badman and Jurgen Zack race through the lava fields in Kona wearing Red Bull logos. But none of the athletes I train with even go near the stuff largely because of the things you point out in your blog. Want to watch your training, a race, or even your performance at work implode before your eyes? Drink this stuff. So now it has found new life marketed as a "pick me up" for the masses. Miracles never cease.

Red Bull gave me sores on my tongue and cheeks. I wonder what it did to my intestines.
- Steve in CT said...
Take a look at anybody who drinks this garbage and you will notice that they don't just drink one in the AM to get them going, they drink it ALL DAY LONG, one can after another. Once the quick artificial high from all of the sugar and chemicals wears off, they crash and usually feel worse than before. So to fight off the crash they drink another. And the whole cycle starts again and again and again. There is no way these people can get a good 8 hours of restfull sleep, not with all of the sugar and chemicals in their system, so they likely wake up tired and down a Redbull, and the cycle starts all over again. No wonder it is often called "liquid crack".

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It's all about how to select a proper partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

It's so easy to get addicted to this stuff. It got to the point where I was in a Red Bull induced depression. I was constantly having one at work. Probably had 3 cans a day 5 days a week. My hands would always shake and I always craved it no matter what. I finally decided to help myself and to take a creak from Red Bull and presto! No more depression, I don't have jitters, and I actually feel alot more energetic without it! This stuff is dangerous.

Introducing HunterGatherer for Curated by Arkitip
Today we launch the latest installment of the Curated by Arkitip project with New York-based HunterGatherer. The brainchild of Todd St. John, HunterGatherer is an award-winning design, illustration, animation and production studio.
St. John and frequent HunterGatherer collaborator Gary Benzel created the woodgrain pattern and have applied it to products ranging from furniture to skateboard decks. The signature design has been reintroduced for Curated by Arkitip, ornamenting two of our own signature products: the MacBook Sleeve and iPhone Slider Case.
HunterGatherer is known for its spare, but inventive projects, often combining experimental and hand-built techniques with more complex methods. Since 2000, HunterGatherer has stayed decidedly small, focusing on a limited number of assignments across a wide range of mediums. The HunterGatherer products for Curated by Arkitip add to the studio's body of work, which include a number of animation projects for clients such as Nike, VH1 and The New York Times T: Magazine, as well as ongoing work for New York City's green initiative, GreeNYC.
The HunterGatherer 15″ Sleeve for MacBook Pro and HunterGatherer Slider Case for iPhone 3G S and iPhone 3G are available today in our webstore and arkitip.com with availability following shortly in select Apple retail stores and better boutiques.
To learn more about the project, watch the video featuring interviews with HunterGatherer artists Todd St. John and Gary Benzel.

This looks fantastic!
Would love to have that pattern as a wallpaper.
@jason: Check the Extras on the HunterGatherer page.
Finally, something to complement my old school Hunter Gatherer wallet with the same print.
Why no 13″? Pleeeeease….big demand at retail, ppl are bummed they can't enjoy these for 13″….
That case looks awful,it looks like a giant turd. Do you really want people to stop and stare in the street asking their friends, "why is that guy over there licking a turd?!" and for the friend to reply it's not a turd, he's talking on his iphone which is encased in a turd! Erm no thanks.
Adam, you're a faggot. That thing is amazingly awesome.
I'm with the 13″ guy! I want to get the iphone sleeve and a 13″ Mac Book Pro laptop case for my man this x-mas. What's up with the 15″ exclusive? Bad planning. Can you whip some up for the holidays? Like yesterday? Sorry to be such a bitch, but why only one size?

Locals passing exit 90 on I-77 are going to be seeing the thing every day, so officials figure they may as well get a say in what it looks like.
State transportation and county planning leaders want input on a gateway monument to be placed there welcoming travelers into York County. A volunteer design committee and South Carolina Department of Transportation put together three renderings. York County Planning Department is hosting a drop-in meeting from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Fort Mill Library, and there's already a survey online at surveymonkey.com/s/Exit90.
The idea, according to county planners, is to "provide an enhanced way to identify this important gateway into both York County and South Carolina."
The survey lists three options: One is 48 feet long and almost 12 feet high in the middle, more than seven feet toward the ends. Another is 40 feet long with 16- and 11-foot sections and the smallest is 24 feet long and 11 feet high. All options are brick with blue and green, featuring county and state logos.
For some, the sign could be more than cosmetic.
Reba Gambrell began as sales clerk at Red Rocket Fireworks on Hwy. 21 in 2001, and worked at the company's Rock Hill location prior. Fireworks and gas often bring traffic from across the state line, and Gambrell's store offers both.
"It's an advantage to getting some business going up and down the road," she said of increased interstate signage. "We appreciate them stopping."
Fireworks stores and gas stations abound at the first exit into South Carolina. The gas tax is higher in North Carolina and fireworks aren't sold there. Several gas station managers, their pumps pulled-up-to by plenty of out-of-state tags, said last week that the new, large reminder for motorists that they've reached South Carolina soil can't hurt.
Gambrell, around long enough to remember lottery tickets driving traffic south to her store, said there's been talk for quite some time about an entrance marker like the one now being discussed. Her vote? The bigger the better.
"It's a long time coming," she said.

Digital Identities and Relationships
In the new digital world we all have digital identities exposed through various forms or medium such as email, instant messaging, forums and social media like Linked-in and Facebook etc. Each of these forms represents a digital version of you. Now I don't know about you but I care how I look in the real world and I also care about how I look in the digital world. But like in the real world I don't like to mix these identities, I am different person down the pub with my mates compared to how I am with a customer at work. But with the prevalence of social media this line is getting blurred and this has consequences.
Over the last several years there have been plenty of examples of where a personal identity is exposed to a work related identity and this can result one of many problems such as divorce, loss of job, loss of integrity and legal issues.
Below is a Venn diagram showing how my digital identities relate.
Notice how some of the media overlap. Facebook is clearly personal but there is some crossover with my Twitter account.
This is a bad example of relating digital identities.
So where do you draw the line in sharing this always on permanent record of yourself?
Some social media actually encourage you share these identities between platforms for example Linked-in allows you to share Twitter messages. But do you really want your work colleagues to know that you just ate at a certain restaurant?
So how do we stop blurring the lines between personal and private identities?
Consider under which identity to share information
You have something to share but who should you share it with? Is it work related or personal? You wouldn't post your latest holiday pictures on Linked-in and by contrast you wouldn't post work related information on Facebook, at least I hope not.
Consider who you let into your network
What is the use of the medium? Is it to let your friends know that you will be down the pub at 6pm of that you are looking for another job in nuclear physics? Don't befriend your boss on Facebook but also don't let your mate Steve send inappropriate jokes to your work email.
Consider what the medium is to be used for
Is it used for personal business like keeping in contact with friends or work associated? A Facebook account is clearly personal but what about your Twitter account? Is that personal or work related?
Consider the security of the medium
Who owns and manages the medium? What are your rights and privileges? Email may stay private but blog posts are public.
Consider the availability and data retention of the medium
Will the post you made to someones Twitter account be available in 5 years time? That newsgroup post you made 10 years ago slating company X definitely will be. Your views in your original post may have changed but will this information be publicly available? Will it affect your next job interview?
Consider each of these when using the medium in question and you can't go wrong.
Happy messaging in what ever form you choose.

Police: Victim of CMU kidnapping a 'hero,' saved herself by jumping from vehicle
A Central Michigan University student did the right thing by jumping from her vehicle after being kidnapped at gunpoint Wednesday night, police said.
"I believe she made all the right choices," CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said Thursday. "She's the true hero in this."
Yeagley, who said his thoughts and prayers are with the student and her family, said he is grateful that she is safe and that the CMU community is ready to offer its support.
Acknowledging the woman's calmness and strength after being abducted from the parking lot at the Student Activity Center at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Yeagley said the woman suffered non life-threatening injuries when she jumped from her Ford Escape and got away from Eric Lee Ramsey, 30, of Mt. Pleasant at about 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Yeagley said police will respond to the kidnapping with extra patrols and use the opportunity to educate people on how to stay safe.
He cited CMU programs like Safe Rides and the CMU Police Department's educational promotions on safety.
Ramsey's abduction of the woman was random, Yeagley said.
He indicated to her during the time he held her captive that he had looked at a few others leaving the SAC Wednesday night but said there were too many witnesses in the area, Yeagley said.
Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said during a press conference Thursday morning that there is no doubt in his mind that the woman would be dead had she not jumped from the car.
Saying that the woman was "an emotional wreck," the sheriff said police don't know what possessed Ramsey to kidnap her. Continued...
Mioduszewski and Yeagley discussed the incident prior to the press conference Thursday morning, calling the incident a horrific, crazy ordeal.
When Ramsey was killed early Thursday morning by a Crawford County Sheriff's deputy, he was holding something in his hand, and police later found the handgun in the cab of the sanitation truck Ramsey stole in neighboring Otsego County, the sheriff said.
Ramsey apparently left a cryptic message on social media at about 4 a.m.
"Well folkes im about to get shot. Peace," was posted on his Facebook page.

Shiny Volcarona's are pretty. They have a sweet lemon-yellow color. Even though they don't resemble Fire-types, I do prefer the normal one
Saying sorry won't change anything
I do already have a shiny Butterfree, but I want to add more shiny bugs to my collection. But, I can't decide whether I want to try to get a shiny Yanmega or a shiny Scolipede! Both of their color schemes are so awesome. Argh, decisions, decisions...
Shinies:Spoiler:- Claims and Credits:
That's kind of unfortunate because jolly nature may raise his speed but it lowers his special attack. So what Yveltal96 said was true, you're going to need to spam those sp. attack ev's onto volcarona. Mine had the same nature but it still destroys because I gave it max sp. attack evs. And a piece of advice for your volcarona: teach it hurricane at level 90 and use it in a rain dance team. No one will even expect it lol
Shiny Genesect is where it's at

Eh, could go and ask. Speaking of, could ask if he puts p a Bug Dex on the front page, with sprites and links to the Srrebii Dex Pages. (No I did not steal this from the Dragon Tamer Club. It was my idea to haev it there in the first olace, so I should have all rights to put it hefe)
Hehe, yeah. Dem Politoed think they can kill? Volcarona Giga Drain you. Send out Conkeldurr? Hurricane destroys you.
yep we should do that it would be really cool
here's a start: http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/b..._front/632.gif
EDIT: by the way i got really bored last night and basically put all our clubs rules and multiple other things into a power point just for the hell of it and put lots of cool animated .gif files in it of bug pokemon throughout the slides

Guys, I have started noticing that a lot of us are breaking the rules, especially with one liners posts. One liner posts are forbidden in this, and in any club.
From now on, whoever posts a one liner post, will receive a warning, then a ban.
For the club registration, use the registration form in the first post of the thread.
Also try to make constructive comments.
For the tournament battles, PM and try to set out a time to begin your battle.
Everyone break the one-liner rule, but thngs are getting better here.
I do see a lot of one-lniers, but people usually get mad if I notify them.
Elysian out! Bzzzzzzzz..

Anyone have any big plans? I went downtown with my girlfriend and another friend for about an hour (downtown here being the place were nearly all the town congregates and goes wild), nearly got a contact high from all the stupid stoners lighting up, and that was about it. Not a wild night by any means. Anyone else do anything cool?

Customizing Expedit storage boxes
Materials: EXPEDIT shelves + DRONA box
Description: This is just a small hack but was useful for our newly painted room - sage green.
In the room we have a single 4 box Expedit shelf in a very small space. I had bought Drona boxes to go with the shelves but they come in limited colours which looked awful with our green room so I just grabbed some fabric (happens to be Ikea fabric) and fixed my small but irksome problem.
Simply take fabric that works with your room/space/colours and measure a square just slightly bigger than the front of the Drona box. (1/2 inch should do)
Fold down the edges and iron a crisp fold (ensure you have made it narrow enough to tuck under the handle/flap of the Drona, but wide enough to cover the front of the box.
I used a glue gun and just glued all around the edges of the fabric and stuck it down.
I started on the top/flap end and put the glue on the box, under the flap and then slid the fabric under the flap (using a spatula or cake knife to get it under smoothly and press the fabric onto the glue.
It's a small thing but the room looks so much better having something that looks coordinated with the room. Everyone surprised to learn its all Ikea.

I love the drona boxes but never understood why they were 'designed' in those colours. If IKEA used your approach they'd sell so many more!

And I wish there would be a possibility to wash them- I mean it is fabric and after a while they somehow look a little... ugly sometimes..
- TracyLeeAugust 08, 2011 6:22 AM
Great idea! I was just thinking about how I could custom Drona boxes. This is an easy and practical solution and I'll be borrowing your idea.

How are you using POD HD500 Live?
Like (0)
Ok, I want to know what your live set up is. I just purchased the HD500 and thinking of using it live to streamline my set up. I play in a 3 piece classic rock and blues cover band, so we play songs from the 50's up to today. So I need to be very versitile.
My settings today is:
PRS 513 Custom, 56 Strat, 57 Strat, 59 Les Paul, 59 Les Paul (re-issue)
TC Electronics G-System (Red) with Fulltone OCD, Swollen Pickle Fuzz, TC Electronic NDR 1 Nova Drive
Mesa Roadster which I use the G-System to relay switch the channels of the amps 4 channels Channel 1 = Tweed Clean, Channel 2 = British Clean, Channel 3 = Crunch, Channel 4 = Distortion which is mic'ed with a Sennheiser e 906
I want to know how you set your HD500 up for live performances, what you are doing for patches, do you have, 1 or more patches per song, or do you have general patches for country, blues, classic rock, metal... are you going direct into the PA with a monitor, or into an amp, or what. I do not want to hear about using a Variaxe as I will not be using one
I am thinking of using a small PA Amp with 2 PA speakers (for strero) and lines out to the Main PA for Strero (I think I need something behind me just because that is the way I have done it for years) and then feed into my monitor
OK now let's hear your best!
Sweet rig !
I get the impression that you are thinking of using the modelling on the HD to replace your Mesa (rather than for straight MultiFX)? If so, there are others on the forum who use the HD more intensively with modelled amps for live performance
If not ...
I have thus far used the HD for performance only. I use the HD500 primarily for FX and have a patch bank devoted to that. I also have a second bank containing identical patches but with modelled sounds. I use this as a backup for my amp.
I run the HD with a JVM410 Combo using the four cable method (which is a headache to setup initially but works very well once balanced off against your rig). The JVM supports MIDI so I use the HD for switching also. That, along with guitars (70s Strat with EMG 89/SA/SA set, Gretsch 6119 Tenessee Rose, Gibson "The Paul") is my whole rig at present. My band plays originals - hard rock/garage/indie/classic rock/country tones with a dash of metal thrown in.
I have four generic patches (clean, light crunch, heavy crunch/OD and lead). Each of these has four footswitchable effects and something assigned to the Expression Pedal (Wah or delay level).
I also have about a dozen song-specific patches which feature very specific effects setups/boosts etc.
I typically have a handful of 'messabout/in progress' patches around too which I shake down when jamming.
I use the HD500 live. I have had a DT50 212 amp for over a year. Great amp and it works really well in tandem with the HD500 to produce realistic feeling and sounding emulations of real amps IMO. Having the FX built in saves having to cart around a bunch of stomp boxes/additional rack gear Having the ability to control a Variax (JTV) model selection from the floor is another bonus.
The DT50 can prove to be a bit heavy to move around, so I recently bought a DT-25 head and 1x12 cab which is a lot more manageable for smaller gigs and surprisingly loud for its wattage.
I have a few other amps and cabs such as my Marshall JVM 205H (50w) and 4x12. I often use this amp and cab with the HD500 by using PRE amp models in the HD500 and running them in to the FX return so I get to use just the power amp on the Marshall. I can get close enough to the sound of the JVM's native sound just going in in this 2CM fashion that I tend not to get bogged down with 4CM, although that also works well. I don't get quite the flexibility I get with the DT-xx amps because I'm stuck with just one output type however it does sound very good to me
I use probably a maximum of 12 patches for a rehearsal or gig. I arrange my patches in banks of four: A, B, C, D equating to Clean, Light Crunch, Heavy Crunch and Lead. I have two banks set up like this based on a couple of favourite amp models and then the third bank of four will be special custom presets for specific songs. So I'll spend 80-90% of a gig using one or other bank of generic patches and the remaining time using my special custom patches.
I've developed loads of patches - and most I consider to be work in progress anyway.
I use one of three Ibanez RG guitars and a Gibson Les Paul Custom or I use a Line 6 JTV-89 or JTV-59
If I use the DT-xx amps, they both have an excellent sounding speaker emulated DI out so I can call in reinforcements from the PA if I need a bit more volume. I can do the same thing with my Marshall by inserting an inexpensive DI box between the speaker out and the speaker - if I need to, or I'll just mic the cab up in the old fashioned way.
I have IEM too if I need it but TBH I don't use it much. I prefer using a real guitar amp as my primary rig and the PA takes its lead from that, but i have used the POD direct to PA too a few times and it works well that way too.
The HD500 and HD Pro are very versatile bits of kit and there's a variety of ways in which you can use either to (hopefully) get the results you want. I say 'hopefully' because a POD based solution isn't always for everyone, and there is a little bit of a learning curve to go through
I have 2 seperate preset lists.
The first preset contains the patches with cab-modelling on (for use with headphones, direct-recording etc.) and the second list contains the patches without cab-modelling where i've tweaked the patches to sound the same as the ones with cab-modelling on.
I connect the pod through the fx-return of my amp-head. When in the rehearsal-room I just krank up the volume, on stage the cab get's mic'ed.
I have one generic ABCD for the main-sound. (A. Clean, B. Gain, C. Lead, D. Weird shizzle)
Other banks are ordered depending on what the songs are demanding.
This set-up works just fine for me
Another theory to throw out there:
I guess it depends somewhat on the size of the gigs and how frequent but some guys really swear by the Traynor K4 keyboard amp.I guess with it being full range it really makes a good floor processor sound excellent.(just going from what I've heard/read)
A pro guitar guy named Glenn Delaune uses that rig for smaller gigs and swears by it as well as other guitar players I have read.Now I'm somewhat of a purist/snob about the look and name of the gear so it would be difficult.As well as you maybe because of the nice gear you have,but for true excellent sound,portabilty,plenty of hook-up options,a tilt back wedge setting,maybe something like this might ideal for your behind the back monitor/sound situation.
Sorry to bump an ancient thread, but I couldn't find a more recent discussion of this topic.
I've had my hd500 for a little over a year, and I've been using it practicing and gigging with my band. I recorded with it some. Here is a brain dump of my rig and experience with it.
I am in a 90s rock cover band based in Atlanta. We're called Flannel. We're a 4 piece and I am the only guitar player. plug: facebook.com/flannelATL. I have 2 strats (1 w a floyd and bucker), 1 tele with humbuckers in it and a weird gibson les paul thats just mahogany. I run the hd500 into an old ATA T100S 100w power amp (takes 4 el34s). It's 50w/50w in stereo. My backup is a peavey classic 50/50 (which takes EIGHT el84s). I run one cable from the guitar to the pedal, two cables from the pedal to the back of the power amp, and 2 cables into my 5150 4x12 cab, 8 ohms, stereo. I run both sides of the power amp wide open, and then manage the overall volume with the master volume on my pedal. I think my tone is killer and other folks seem to agree. My rig is quite simple and I can set up in a matter of a few minutes. All my cables are color coded.
I see some of you guys are using some general patches. I dial in a patch, sometimes 2, for each song. Sometimes I'll have two tones that are so distinctly different, I couldn't get from one to the other by turning on a fuzz or whatever, within the patch. You oughta know, for example, (we have a female singer) has a patch that has reverb and tremolo going into a fender amp, for the verse parts. I have a footswitch that toggles those off and kicks on a tube screamer for the pre chorus. I have a complete other patch for the actual chorus where the wah pedal is on and engaged and it's already dirty. This way, I can switch straight from the second setting of the first patch into the chorus and drop right back into the first setting of the first patch when the verse kicks back. This pedal is really great for that sort of stuff. Our transitions can be tight because i'm not doing a whole bunch of ******** tap dancing. We've only recently started gigging (fewer than 10 gigs under our belt, all in the last 4 months, although we've been practicing for about 18 months). Sound guys feel really comfortable with it. I really love running this pedal into a beefy el34 power amp. It's probably just psychosomatic ********, but I feel better running into a tube power amp for the "warmth" or whatever. Whatever it is, it's got *** for days. that power amp is a god damned monster. I'd like another 4x12 cab for maximum face melting powar but that's down the line a bit after other bits of gear and you know, bills. I'm going to need a rack mount stereo EQ as soon as possible so I can overall adjustments to my tones on the fly, based on the room.
Like I said, I build patches for every single song. Within those, I try to use the internal toggles as much as possible, as long as I can make the levels work and it sounds right. I line up my effects based on what I need them to do in the song. fs1 is always going to be the first thing I need to do in a song. Kick on the distortion, almost always. I REALLY wish I could make names for the tags that show up onscreen on the pedal. most of my toggles end up saying 'multi' so they are basically ******* useless. how about you let me decide what goes in those 5 measly characters, line 6? anyway, fs2 will be my secondary thingy. maybe it's the bridge, or usually some effecty thing, like a flanger on counting blue cars. If I am using the wah for my solo, I will be lazy and put all my lead stuff toggled to the wah footswitch. I'll usually add some delay, compressor and extra gain for solos, and so i'll just have those tag along when I kick on the wah. Then my tone gets nice and dry and crunchy when I drop back into the rhythm guitar part. No tap dancing. Sometimes I *won't* tie the expression pedal effect to the toe switch button. For example, on killing in the name, I use a whammy pedal. I usually want to end the solo with the pedal in the heel position, so I can't use the toe switch to disengage it. So, it sits on fs 4, because it's right next to the expression pedal. Usually fs4 is reserved for an extra distortion if I need it, or it's basically always on when I am playing my all single coil strat (so it has enough oomph to keep up with all my other guitars which have humbuckers). I've never needed more footswitches than I have available to me without being able to just use a second patch. I'd say the main drawback to my system is that it can make it difficult to call an audible on a song if I don't have that particular patch loaded or something. I can usually scramble and grab another patch that is in the ball park of what I need to do. That occurred to me at our last show, so now I plan to build the set list as normal, and then instead of having the rest of the set list blank, I will put everything else beyond our set, in alphabetical order. That way, if we need to play something that is not on our set list, I can still get to it without trying to kludge it with another patch.
I have issues getting my levels even across 40 some odd patches. To the absolute surprise of nobody. My band has had to burn a couple practices where I have my laptop and the singer is making mixer and channel adjustments to my patches to get me level with the band. Each song has its own needs. Getting levels even seems like it should be easier. The various amp models are all over the ******* place in terms of volume, which makes my life very difficult. Speaking of the editor, it is both wonderful and terrible. line6, you guys REALLY need to have edit history built into that thing. There's this new thing. It's called ctrl+******* z. maybe you've heard of it. That I can't go back and forth between a change and the tone previous with one click or keystroke is just stupid. Yes, I can recall the original patch BUT THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE SAME THING when I am 6 changes deep into a patch and I forget what the setting I just changed was. A history function would make the hd500 edit software a true sandbox.
I do not understand how I should be using cabinet emulation. Should I? I am running into a cab, so I feel like I should not. When I originaly designed all these patches, it somehow hadn't occurred to me to turn them off, but I have been experimenting a little with no cab emulation and am finding that it really helps with some sounds (especially clean tones for whatever reason). I do a lot of dual amp stuff in stereo. I don't know that I particularly need to, but I can, so I do. It's fun! I do this quite a bit with some of the balls out heavy rock stuff we do. I know on song 2 I think I am using like a plexi with a fuzz in front of it and also a rectifier or some such thing. I get the ratty, assy sound of the marshall/fuzz but I also get that tight percussive metal tone. Yes, I run stereo live, and yes, I mike it on both sides of my cab and run into two channels on the mixer.
There is a ton of deep edit stuff that I just really don't touch. I am a pretty technical dude but **** I have a life, too. I'd like to try out some stuff on customtone, but it's too big and disorganized to be useful. I don't want to search 40.000 records alphabetically, and the search is shitty. Why would I even want to hear someone's patches they made for their headphones when they are going to sound like garbage running through an amp? Frankly, I am not convinced of your average forum users' taste, no offense.
Overall I think the hd500 is great live. I've got a ton of versatility and it's very expressive. I feel like it helps me put on a great performance because I can either dial in much the same tones as I hear the bands use in recordings, or I can do something that evokes the same spirit when we change a familiar tune up somehow. Once I am beyond the onerous task of getting my levels settled with the rest of my band, the performance is easy. I don't even need a hard copy of the set list because I can see what is next on my pedal.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Tested By Capt. Ron SvobodaLayoutThis platform uses all the ideas of a large, liveaboard cruiser and incorporates this into a motoryacht that can be handled by just the skipper. Now that may not be the safest way to go, but at only 37' 8 " long, this small, and somewhat stubby yacht, is a relatively manageable craft. But don't let size fool you, because below deck is an open, airy saloon with a pair of generous staterooms and private head compartments. All this is capped off with a roomy fly bridge and a fully enclosable aft cockpit area for all weather enjoyment. Unlike many of the motoryachts we've tested, the access from the huge swim platform to the aft cockpit area is via a large staircase with good footing for big feet like mine. Most of the other guys have stairs that are too small and way too steep for safe usage. Plenty of Entertaining SpaceThe aft cockpit area supplies shade with a large fiberglass hardtop and clear acrylic doors for side deck access, plus access to the companion way, unfortunately no seating is available here which would have made it ideal. From here, it is just a couple of step to the fly bridge where you'll find comfortable aft seating finished in nautical white and blue striped upholstery. There is also small wet-bar with sink and a mini-fridge for the captain and crew to keep well hydrated. Your co-pilot can lounge in the contoured companion seat that is located to port. At the HelmBehind the wheel, the captain has a full compliment of analog gauges and switches mounted atop simulated wood grain trim for a classy look. Top notch Raymarine electronics provide the navigational and communication equipment and round-out a well planned helm. Even better is the greatest thing since sliced bread: Dock On Command (D.O.C). This handy invention will help you get this baby in the slip like a pro by using forward, side and aft thrusters, all in one controller.Luxury ThroughoutBelowdeck, in the roomy saloon, you can enjoy the entertainment center while relaxing in either of the plush sofas or the dual recliners. Or cook up a great meal in the spacious, port side galley. Directly to starboard of the galley is a guest head and shower compartment.Overnight AccommodationsWhen you're ready to turn in for the evening, your guests can use the forward V-berth, while you get to enjoy the owners stateroom located aft, both offer a queen sized, island bed. There is also en-suite head located in the master stateroom which includes a separate shower stall.Overall, the new Meridian 368 does provide a surprising amount of lounging space, along with countless storage nooks for those long haul cruises.

Hello, this is in response to Sounding off from Michelle Cook follow the party 99 percent of the time. Well of course. Next she will be at the Sullivan Senior Center patting the old people on the back, smiling nicely, and sending cookies and doughnuts and looking so nice. Then she is going to go up to Prime Time and she is going to be patting the poor unfortunates out there and she will spend the day with them. She has done this every year since she has been here. We voted her in for a reason to get rid of who she replaces. But she is following in the incumbents foot steps so soon. Michelle, stop following Blumenthal and all the rest of them. Stop, their not dropping Snicker bars. Do your own thing, you will net further and you might be able to come back.
Lets go Wendy we are looking for you.
I am calling about the article on brass tack in the Litchfield section of the Waterbury Republican. It figures that the Republican American would have an article about what is said about the Hell's Angels and all the people that go to these things. its a good thing we didn't have the likes of the Outlaws because they could really talk about some of the things they say about their shirts. They have the rights to go there too. If the people from PAL and DARE and all these places that want money, you are going to have to open up a little bit. We had half of Waterbury here the another night. There is plenty of motorcycle clubs and don't forget we had the Mud Puppies in town too. They all do good work and there is a place for all.
Please, please, please return to the regular format and print in the Register Citizen the way it was before. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It wasn't broke.
I hope The Register Citizen prints this letter, I have called in a few and they have not been printed.
Now this letter, I would like to say I have seen commercials for the Obama Chia Pet and Romney Chia Pet. I would also like to see the Sheldon Aldeson Chia Pet, Coke Brothers Chia Pet, and Donald Trump Chia Pet. Would that not be fair. Lets be real in this country. Lets all get along.
I am a little concerned about this campaign statement of Romneys when he says "We're going to take this nation back". I ask, back from whom or what? As far as I know Americans are still in control of this nation. I'm not a Republican...does that mean he is going to take something away from me because I don't support him? Back from what? It doesn't make any sense.
I read with interest, in Sunday's edition, the request by the Register Citizen, for patience while their designers worked on the font and layout concerns of readers. I can only hope these are local designers who understand the needs and desires of local readers and not the west coast designers who screwed it up in the first place. The explanation for the changes printed a couple of weeks ago was unbelievable. Testing in California to determine what Connecticut readers desire or need is like testing the water in Mexico to determine what chemicals need to be added to Torrington's water supply and making these changes simply because no changes had been made in 15 years sounds more like new local management wants to impress corporate management by reporting "look what I did" rather than filling a "long overdue need." I will be patient for a short while but if the corrections made are no better than the changes already made, my subscription will also be shifted to Waterbury.

In latest NVIDIA's driver included EXT_transform_feedback.
But glGetString doest not show this extention.
Did anybody use this extention ?
I do use this extension. It was alerady included in the first drivers for the 8000 series because AFAIK they use this extension in their OpenGL demos. I'm using it for a particle system completely on the GPU. Check http://3d.benjamin-thaut.de maybe you want to have a look at my sourcecode. The extension is used in feedback.h and feedback.cpp
I use this extension as well. I'm using it to compute a vector field using a user-defined function in a shader.
Thanks.Originally Posted by Ingrater
You do not understand me
I have got lates driver. I see NV_transform_feedback. I have no problem with him. But I do not see EXT version.
I have got 8600GTS.
Are you sure? Exactly EXT_ ?Originally Posted by HexCat
I am confused
I've checked your link. You write "need NV_transform_feedback "Originally Posted by Ingrater
I am not crazy. I am asking about exactly EXT_
Sorry didn't see the EXT part. On nvidias homepage the extension is not listed in the opengl extensions listing. So I don't think they support that extension yet. Furthermore it doesn't make a difference if you use the EXT or NV extension, because the interfave looks the same and ATI doesn't support the extension anyway.
Dont care.Originally Posted by Ingrater
As I know there is deffrence between EXT_ and NV_.
What about ATI(AMD) - it is terrible dream !
I've been waiting while a year for ATI reaction on EXT_geometry_shaders and ect. ATI dont move in this direction.
OK. Thanks you
What do you mean "don't care"?! The difference betwen EXT_ and NV_ is very small. If you want this extension, you can use it on Nvidia card.
Or get a Mac, they all support EXT_transform_feedback
I ask for EXT_ but he means NV_.Originally Posted by Zengar
We had communication problem
I did not know that Mac support EXT_transform_feedback.
But it will not help me. I am working only with PC.
And I dont use vendor specific extension on my work, only EXT or ARB.

So, it's time for the Fluxbox edition to catch up with 13.37. Ax and Kerd have prepared a 13.37beta1 iso image. For now it's only 32bits, a 64bit iso image will follow (edit: it is available now). Everyone who has used the 13.1 Fluxbox edition, will find this release very familiar. Important changes include the replacement of OpenOffice.org with LibreOffice and the inclusion of Sourcery, a graphical frontend to slapt-src.
