Looking at the finished product the words seems to disappear and reappear depending of the angle of vision I wanted to create that subtle read to reflect the process of a design award judging. A trained eye can see things differently , and if judges look at the competition entries the right way you might discover that hidden quality that deserve a gold award.
About the competition:
IDSA northwest aka The shaggies design award crew asked me to design the gold award trophies.The NWDI ( the Northwest Design Invitational) competition has evolved and is now called The Shaggies, which celebrate a more down to earth vision of a design award competition ,a competition that reflect the future of design with a touch of what's in our bones: a soft, fuzzy, curious nature that's wrapped in a smart, hard-working, exacting layer of high-standards.
about my process;
the bronze and silver awards were going to be letterpress (paper) , the best of the show was going to be a 3d chainsaw sculpture (wood) .so my goal for the gold award was to find the missing piece between those two I started to explore the 2d/3d relationship and created that 3d wood piece that seem to be made out of 2d layers,all those layers representing the steps to create the final product .I wanted for the trophy to be a mix between the natural beauty of the wood ( raw materials) and the precision of a modern technology (Laser engraving) creating a subtle yet strong read of the words"shaggies gold"

James Haskell has said his decision to play a season of club rugby in Japan and then in New Zealand last year was a gamble.
Haskell was convinced the experience would make him a better person and a better player - but the challenge was in convincing head coach Stuart Lancaster.
There were times when Haskell "looked down the barrel of not playing for England again", fearing his face may not fit in Lancaster's new regime no matter how well he played on his return to Wasps.
Harlequins' Nick Easter, a central figure in the Martin Johnson era, had found himself in exactly that position following the 2011 Rugby World Cup disappointment.
But Haskell has battled his way back into Lancaster's plans, convincing a once-sceptical head coach of his passion and dedication for the cause.
On Sunday in Dublin, Haskell will make his first Six Nations start since England's Grand Slam dreams were wrecked by Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in 2011.
"It was (a gamble). I'm not going to sit here like the bloke from the A-Team who says: 'I love it when a plan comes together' because that's not the case at all," Haskell said.
"I had no idea what was going to happen, I had no idea that I was going to get the opportunity to come back in.
"I knew that if I went away, that I would be more enriched as a person, I'd probably grow up and come back as a better player as a product of that.
"There have always been times, with new coaches coming in, when I have looked down the barrel of not playing for England again. I never knew I was going to get an opportunity again.
"I'd seen that guys were not involved. I'd seen what they were trying to create and they were bringing in young players.
"But I knew that if I got the chance to work in this environment, that if Stuart got to know me, he could see that I was passionate about England and this team, that I will keep fighting and do everything I could do to get involved in the squad because it means that much to me."
Haskell got his chance on the summer tour of South Africa, where he was pressed into action as an emergency openside flanker for the drawn third Test.
Lancaster named Haskell in the Saxons squad at the start of the season but he has been involved in England's last three matches, including the wins against New Zealand and Scotland.
Haskell displayed those fighting qualities at Twickenham last weekend, when he made 10 tackles, hit 16 rucks and won four turnovers in just 35 action-packed minutes.
"I was very lucky to get that opportunity in South Africa. That tour was great for me to see what the coaches were doing," Haskell said.
"I'd seen Stuart but never had a relationship and it was great for him to see what I was about.
"I've had to fight my way back in but that's the same for any of those guys coming back in. There's always competition.
"Running out at Twickenham last week, even though it wasn't to start, was just as exciting as it ever was. I feel refreshed and very, very eager to stay in this environment as long as I can."
The environment Haskell discovered stood in stark contrast to the England set-up he had left after the World Cup. It had an All Blacks feel about it.
"There is a lot of respect for the shirt. Everyone realises the shirt on its own is a bit of cloth but when you fill it, you have to fill it with physicality, emotion and passion," Haskell said.
"You know that any moment it can be taken away. Your performances have to do the talking.
"When I was in New Zealand and spoke to the All Blacks guys about their environment, they said there is a very short life expectancy in the shirt.
"They blood young guys early on. When I came back here I found it was something Stuart was doing.
"Sometimes guys are fixtures in the team. Ben Foden is a great example. He has been one of England's top performers but there wasn't any space for him as guys in his position have been playing very well.
"Stuart respects that. Guys who have performed at this level do have a little credit, but it's about the guys playing best at the moment.
"That means when you do get the shirt you have renewed vigour, you want to do it justice and perform well."
Haskell will start at blindside flanker against Ireland, with Tom Wood shifting to number eight in place of the injured Ben Morgan.
Two years ago, Haskell tasted bitter defeat in Dublin as Ireland blew England's Grand Slam dreams apart.
"It was one of those games when I would describe Ireland as very oppressive," Haskell recalled.
"Ireland have so many talented players that if they get that emotional energy up they are very difficult to stop. They have X-factor players across the field.
"You have to respect Ireland for everything they are going to bring but it is about imposing ourselves."
Haskell is relishing the challenge.

LifeBridge Health's Anticoagulation Clinics monitor adult patients who are at risk for blood clots and therefore take anticoagulant medications, also known as "blood thinners."
Anticoagulants help prevent unwanted clots from forming in the blood. This prevents major complications such as vessel or valve obstruction, which could lead to heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolisms. However, it's important that blood can still clot when patients receive injuries such as cuts or wounds. Therefore, the clinic is available to regularly check patients' blood clotting ability to determine the proper amount of medication they should receive.
Each time a patient visits one of our clinics, a few drops of blood are taken from his or her finger for a prothrombin time, or PT, test. This test measures how quickly the blood clots. The PT is then converted to a standard unit called an international normalized ratio (INR).
Depending on the results of the PT/INR test, a patient's dose of warfarin may be adjusted to keep INR in a target range. Sickness, diet, other medications (prescription and over-the-counter) or physical activity may affect PT/INR. For this reason, anticoagulation patients need to tell their health care providers about changes in their health, medicines or lifestyle.
If a patient's warfarin dose is changed, he or she will be given new written instructions. It is important that patients keep an adequate supply of warfarin on hand at all times and always follow the dosage instructions from their most recent visit.
People taking anticoagulant medication should carry an identification card and/or wear a MedicAlert bracelet indicating that they are taking warfarin. It is also advisable to carry a list of all medications currently being taken along with their dosages.

The assumption that the Fed is politically biased towards getting the Republicans re-elected is a logical one, based on the fact that the Republican Party is primarily the party that represents the interests of big business, that is to say, even more than the Democrats, if that were possible.
"Attempts by many countries to keep their currencies undervalued could end up in a race to the bottom -- or in competitive devaluations -- that could be as disastrous for the world economy as the experience of the 1930s," UNCTAD warned.

See above link. I think from my frequent posts on this subject, everyone knows my position. I agree with what you wrote entirely. I believe we are going to see the largest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen. I'm not an economist, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.A rise in protectionism, as stated in the article, to me means higher tariffs of imported US goods, which may spark a trade war with other countries doing similarly...

If/when a collapse of the dollar, etc. occured, and Thriftville tries to "foreclose" on Squanderville "land", don't forget that Squanderville has the most awesome destructive capacity the world has ever seen. The IOU's and such are ignored, and economic and military domination is complete. For what is poor Thriftsville to do? Just try asking for your lunch money back from the school bully. I dare you.

That would mean massive inflation for a little while, and that people that don't own real estate would be screwed. Those that own would be OK to a certain extent. Is that right, or am I nuts? What happens to people in Germany and Poland if the US starts printing money like crazy? Do they just lose a little money in their US investments, or does this affect them personally in some other way?
Absolutely. Due to our huge trade and national debt, the dollar is falling anyway. If people move out of dollar denominated assets, it will push the dollar down further causing the FED to increase the money supply because the dollar will buy less. The return on US securities thus becomes less, and more move out, more printing, more inflation, higher interest rates= inflation spiral. Many central bankers see the writing on the wall, so to cut their losses they move to the euro. But to really save their butt, making the euro the currency of account would make all oil consuming nations target the EU for euros to buy oil, then EU securities that will fund EU growth and expansion. If the US wants to get in on the deal, they have to start producing something the world wants besides Disneyland. Become exporters, not importers. Fat chance, these days..so we will probability invade somebody instead, grab their wealth so we don't have to earn it. I dunno, sounds like a plan. I have no idea what they are up to, but it is no good.

Fed and bond market on the rocks Why are yields falling even as Fed talks more rate hikes? By Gregory Robb & Rachel Koning
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- In what may be the biggest celebrity breakup since J-Lo and Ben Affleck called it quits, it looks like the Federal Reserve and the bond market have decided to go their separate ways.
The growing estrangement has captivated Wall Street link
What do they know that we don't? Watch the dollar and "govt efforts" to deal with the trade deficit. Sounds like these bond traders are hedging their bets.September 16 – Dow Jones (Rob Wells): "A new report finds U.S. multinational corporations socked away profits of $149 billion in 18 tax havens in 2002, nearly double the level three years earlier. Tax Notes, an industry magazine, said in a report Monday the money is being funneled to Bermuda, Ireland, Luxembourg and Singapore instead of the U.S. Treasury. 'That means those 18 tax havens were home to 58% of the foreign profits of those multinationals - a figure that far exceeds the share of economic activity that multinationals conduct in those low-tax countries," according to the report by Tax Notes correspondent Martin Sullivan.
Dollar Falls; Fed Raises Benchmark Rate, Says Inflation `Eased'
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar fell by the most in six weeks against the euro after the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point and said inflation has eased in recent months. ... Against the euro, the dollar dropped to $1.2335 at 4:30 p.m. in New York from $1.2176 yesterday, according to EBS, an electronic foreign-exchange dealing system. It fell to 109.68 yen from 109.90 yesterday ...
Declines in the dollar accelerated after the currency fell to $1.23 per euro, said Samarjit Shankar, director of global strategy for the foreign-exchange group in Boston at Mellon Financial Corp., which manages $625 billion.
"The $1.23 per euro level is a key level and the currency tanked after it crossed that mark,'' Shankar said. ``But the dollar will not weaken to $1.24 per euro. That would be too much of a decline and there's no fundamental reason supporting the euro at those levels.'' Shankar said he expects the dollar to rebound to $1.20 per euro by the end of the year. ...

This is my second year rearing monarchs, and last year the modest number of caterpillars I raised (about 18) were all successfully released as adults. This year I had 21 caterpillars and all made it to the chrysalis stage. However, three of them don't look right.
I rear the cats in individual plastic cups, and usually they hang from the coffee filter over the cup when they are ready to pupate. All of them did this last year. This year, I had three that attached themselves to the side of the plastic cup. The resulting chrysalis has a flat spot on one side, where the others are gently rounded. The flat spot is near the top where the chrysalis is marked by a black line and a row of gold spots.
Has this happened to anyone else, and did the butterflies emerge damaged? Thanks!

(This announcement is from March, but doesn't seem to be in the archives.)
Fujifilm is releasing a line of anti-aging cosmetics, based on their film technologies:
"Collagen not only is the essential ingredient within photographic film, it is a key component of the skin. Antioxidants prevent images from fading in colour and repair and protect the skin from UV damage. Fujifilm have applied this knowledge to skincare and developed the most unique of technologies to prevent UV rays from weakening both collagen and elastin within the skin."
A rather wild concept. I suppose given a shutter speed of 65 years, the emulsion of one's face could get over-exposed...

Trying to find an answer, at the bottom of the libsydney link above triton asks, "As for the lib, wouldn't it be easier to fix PortAudio? Why reinvent yet another audio lib? NIH syndrome?"
Overall I'm really happy with Pulse but I'm very skeptical about libsydney... Does this world need yet another audio API for developers to choose from?

That is one of the more fundamental issues I don't think that PortAudio is the way to go. There are more. And it's a feeling shared by a couple of other audio related people.
Fixing the fact that we have to many competing audio APIs on Linux by adding another one is of course paradox. But still, after discussing this forth and back I believe this is the right way.

Holiday program helps families honor lost loved ones
Submitted Photo - Volunteer coordinator Connie Williams shows off the 'Light Up a Life' tree at the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Collin County office in McKinney. Residents can purchase ornaments and paper doves, engraved with names of their lost loved ones, and the money helps VNA provide quality hospice care.
By Chris Beattie,
Published: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 10:12 PM CST
The holidays aren't so cheerful for those who've recently lost reasons for their cheer. A season of love just isn't the same without loved ones who used to always be there.
But for every dark time, there is light, and few know that better than beneficiaries of the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA). Lights of remembrance and generosity are again shining in the area through the VNA of Collin County's eighth annual "Light Up a Life" program.
Names of lost loved ones -- beneficiaries or not -- are engraved on crystal ornaments and paper doves that decorate Christmas trees adorning VNA offices throughout North Texas. Started in 1934 by volunteer nurses and community leaders, the VNA provides home health care to families with nowhere to turn and no way to pay.
Its staff cares for patients following their discharge from the hospital and for patients with chronic diseases. They provide hospice care for adults in the final phase of a terminal illness, often the darkest of times.
Such in-home care may be the brightest of lights for patients and their families, plagued by an inevitable outcome, and the VNA makes sure the brightness lasts -- both for them and others. The special decorations honor lost loved ones, and at $20 a piece, they also serve as donations that help VNA continue hospice care in its service areas.
"This program helps pay for the whole hospice team," said Connie Williams, volunteer coordinator for VNA of Collin County. "It allows them to go out and help people have a quality end to their lives."
The VNA of Collin County office, located at 2414 W. University Drive in McKinney, joins branches in Dallas, Fort Worth, Kaufman and Denton to participate in the seasonal campaign.
"Light Up a Life" started 27 years ago at the Denton office, the neighboring branches slowly but surely following suit. The VNA offices together have raised more than $800,000 for hospice care through the annual program.
Every autumn, the branches send out invitations to residents with late family members who were under VNA care within the last few years. Tree honorees are typically those such family members, but sometimes they're simply loved ones without a VNA connection, whom people want to remember in a special way, Williams said.
One Kaufman woman, who had lost a family member under VNA care, honored her loved one with an ornament, and then helped VNA workers light up the completed tree.
The VNA of Collin County office, which began distributing invitations Sept. 1, has already collected about $1,500 in donations. Williams said the office has garnered as much as $4,000 with the program in previous years.
A "Light Up a Life" tree is on display between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. every weekday through Dec. 30 at the VNA of Collin County office. Donations will help pay for VNA nurses, chaplains, social workers and other staff members necessary for quality hospice care.
And they'll likely provide some glistening cheer for all who see the tree.
"Some of our funding from United Way has been cut back in recent years, so any little bit helps," Williams said. "It's a great way to honor lost loved ones and help others still living."
Donations to "Light Up a Life" can be made by contacting Williams at
, or by calling VNA of Collin County at 972-562-0140.

Pick marathon times for any 5 people. The difference in the actual CHIP (not gun) time and your guess will be calculated as a percentage of the actual time. This gives more of a fair playing field to the fast and slow runners. Top 4 percentages count (drop the lowest.) Winner gets bragging rights. Please post your picks here on the forum or send me a private message. All picks need to be in by midnight (EST) the day before the start of the race. You can pick some picks from an early marathon and then add additional picks for a later marathon (and you can pick yourself if you want). But, remember the appropriate deadline for each one.
Good luck to all.
Note: You can't pick DNS or DNF. If a person DNF's or DNS's, they will just be given a number of 50% for that person.) If I missed anyone, please post or let me know.

"Rock luminaries Billy F Gibbons and Bo Diddley have joined forces to bring you a 21st century version of the elusive Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird™, now dubbed the 'Billy-Bo'. Designed in '59 from Bo Diddley's talented hand...! 'Some time ago, Bo gave me the guitar as a gift. It was during the recent ZZ Top recordings when the engineering crew and I snaked through the guitar vault searching for that "certain-something" guitar and there it was! We didn't risk subjecting such a rare instrument to the rigors of the road so this new, reproduction model was recreated with some BFG Mojo thrown in for good measure. It's now the main stage guitar with a groove.' -- Billy F Gibbons. The new Gretsch 'Billy-Bo' Jupiter Thunderbird will highlight Bo's original futuristic design with Billy's added ingredients for a steaming hot helping of dirty rotten Rock 'N' Roll. The result of this 'science project gone wrong' features a heavily chambered mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck, ultra-thin laminate maple top, TV Jones® Power'Tron (neck) and Power'Tron 'Plus' (bridge) pickups, pinned Adjusto-matic™ bridge, Schaller® Straplocks, and enough 'vibe' to make space aliens dance the alligator" (G6199 "Billy-Bo" Jupiter Thunderbird at http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G6199&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1).

Bow choice for an adult beginner |

I'm an adult beginner on the violin .. no previous musical experience and still at a wide-eyed child-like stage of wonder at the door I've opened. 2 months since I started. I'm got my head around the violin shaped object enough to know that there's no point in me getting anything better than a Stentor conservatoire until I know enough about where I'm heading and can play enough to be able to choose a proper grown up violin (it's a bit grim compared to my teachers.. but then that one is worth a lot of money). I've got obligatos on it at the moment which seem nicer than the dominants it started with. I've also got 3 bows now .. two very basic (but different) Stentor wooden objects and one basic P&H fibre glass thing. Comparing these three it seems that the bow choice makes a huge difference even at my stage (presumably even more so than the violin) and so I was thinking that a significant bow upgrade may help more than hinder. I've been looking at Arcus, Coda and Jon Paul bows (ie relatively good carbon fibre ones) and don't have an issue with the price, so my plan was to try a few and see which I prefer. Ultimately I'll want a grown up wooden stick to go with a proper violin.... but I'll need a vastly greater level of skills&maturity to get value from that (or even know what to choose!). A carbon fibre strikes me as a good bet as I can always keep it as a second bow in the future. I have one question which is pretty fundamental to my decision though ... might a good spec carbon fibre bow (eg CODA GX diamond) make life more difficult for me (as a beginner) than a lower cost bow ... or do the higher end carbon fibre bows simply increase playability and ease learning ? Obviously I could buy a glasser or equivalent as an interim step but if there is no downside (apart from cash) in buying an expensive carbon fibre one then there seems little point in taking a half step. Any feedback would be great .. thanks Keith |

As a returner to the violin two years ago, one thing I noticed is that adult starters/ returners start eyeing up everyone else's gear as something better or that could potentially make you play better. I suppose if you start piano, you are quite satisfied with the one you have as you can't really change anything except the whole thing or maybe get a new stool! With stringed instruments you can change everything down to the way it is set up to all the little parts. I have gone through the stage of looking at everyone else's chin rest, shoulder rest, strings, bow, tailpiece etc etc and rosin .....and cases ......
It sounds to me like you have everything you need! A Stentor Conservertoire is quite a fancy violin to begin with, certainly not basic quality like some. The bows you have already are probably good enough (get your teacher to check them out) ....I think the bow only makes a difference when used by someone who really is skilled with using a violin bow. I don't think a different bow will make you more skilled at bowing, you just have to learn how to do this! then, when you have, you will have more idea about what you want from a bow. My advice would be stick with what you have for a year, concentrate on technique and producing a good tone and staying in tune, and buy a bow in a year's time when you will have a better idea of what to look for! |

Hi Keith, and welcome to the forums! Without wanting to dampen your enthusiasm, I would recommend holding on a little longer before going bow shopping, for the simple reason that a few more months/years of learning might totally change your opinion of a bow. I think you hit the nail on the head here:
Ultimately I'll want a grown up wooden stick to go with a proper violin.... but I'll need a vastly greater level of skills&maturity to get value from that (or even know what to choose!). You are absolutely right that the bow makes a big difference, and it's great that you can appreciate this so early in your violin-playing career. And if the bows you already have are truly horrible then of course you'll get on better with an upgrade. If money is no object, then heck, just enjoy yourself and buy one. Just be prepared to change your mind about it in the future. I can't think of any reason why a carbon fibre bow would make life any more difficult for you (or indeed any easier). They are just different. Some people love them, while others can't see what the fuss is about. The one advantage they definitely do have is that they are more robust. |

I agree totally with viola mad ..if it is fun to go bowhunting (and it is!!) just go and buy one. You can usually try them out at violin shops. I changed my cheap ?20 bow for a Coda Diamond NX and have been happy with it, although have since realised I can play with my cheaper one just as well now I have learned some technique. I hope you didn't think I was a dampener of enthusiasm and I think it is great that you are so enthusiastic and asking questions so soon after starting to learn....as long as you realise that a different bow may make little difference to your learning basic bowing skills. |

Hi Keith,
I too am an adult learner. For the first year I played using a bow that was ~?15 from the local music shop (not a violin specialist shop). Then a forum member kindly loaned me a carbon fibre bow. That was a vast improvement on the stick I'd been using, but although light overall the balance point on it made it feel heavy when I was playing, though of course it took some time for my bowing to develop enough to notice that (and only then after comparing it with my teacher's Hill bow). I now have a CF bow that cost around ?100, but balance and power wise it's comparable to a ?500 wooden bow. A friend has a slightly more expensive CF bow and in all honesty they might as well use a tree branch - it's soooooo heavy feeling - the balance is way off. As with wooden bows price and name aren't always a promise of playability. I'd say (from my experience) that after only two months, bowing technique is probably dictated by the relative stiffness/flexibility of arm/wrist/fingers rather than the bow quality. So buying even the best bow in the world would only make bowing a little easier, or sound a little better, ie there would probably be little difference in what you hear and feel. Having said that if your existing bows are awful then of course you could benefit from an upgrade. So I would advise same as others - wait a little while, unless your teacher says that your bows are completely dire. |

I have an Arcus bow - to me, they are absolutely fantastic, especially the S series which made my violin produce the most beautiful sound. The disadvantages are they are expensive, take a bit of getting used to and do not suit everyone because they are a lot lighter than most bows. However, I love them and if I could afford one, would definitely get one of their S series bows.
Codas are also very nice CF bows - I tried the SX series and found them to be really good bows but there is a noticeable difference between the nickel and silver mounted bows. Col Legno which has been previously mentioned is a good, affordable CF bow but on the light side. Glasser CF bows are a bit heavier and compare more in weight with wooden bows and I found them to be a very good, affordable upgrade from beginner sticks and introduction to CF bows. Have you asked your teacher what they would recommend? I only ask because when my teacher spotted I was having trouble with my bow and I mentioned about upgrading, I got treated to trying out their extensive bow collection to see what type of bow suited my ability which was a great opportunity and led to the Arcus. |

viledin - I couldn't agree more.
As a retailer I find we have two extremes: at one extreme is the adult beginner who has been playing for a couple of months and is convinced that spending a lot of money will solve the problems she perceives (hint - it won't!) - such people spend more and more and more, upgrading every year or two and ending up playing a violin worth several thousand when in fact they are still at the stage where all they really need could be bought for a couple of hundred (mind you it's good for retailers, at least it is until a few years down the line when the player finally gives up and begs us to buy it all back). Some parents are like this for young children too. Also we often find adults convinced that they will make rapid progress because they already play another instrument (especially if the other instrument is a guitar) and they want to spend a lot now because they don't want to upgrade in a couple of years. Often these people cannot be convinced that 1. the drop-out rate for adults is huge and that 2. playing a bowed stringed instrument well takes a long time. At the other extreme is the player (in fact, almost always the parent of a player) who actually needs to spend quite a lot of money (and usually could easily afford to do so) but thinks it is just possible that the several thousand she has been advised to spend might just be worked down to ?500 or so. We send out the instrument but we know full well it will be coming straight back ... Fortunately there are quite a lot of people in the middle who are actually willing to spend what they need to spend but also to take advice. Liz |

Noooooooo........my progress is twice as slow as it was on classical guitar! (well worth the effort though!) Too poor to upgrade my wooden bow which was valued at ?250 by cardiff violins last year, instead I've done hours and hours and hours of work on bowing and have solved the problems I was blaming the bow for. Now I don't feel I need to upgrade it at all. However if money was no object, I would buy a fancy new bow for the fun of it, no question! |

Thanks all for the feedback. Not what I expected and particularly useful for that reason.
My summary is : 1. If I want to buy a fancy bow and would enjoy the process then sure, no reason not to, have fun! 2. Realistically, unless there is an actual defect with my bow(s), a bow upgrade isn't really going to help me progress any more quickly than a perfectly acceptable student bow at my stage. Next lesson is Weds this week (may even move on from fiddle time joggers to runners!) so I'll ask if the p&h (my fave of the three basic bows) is adequately functional and if so then it's just a matter of practice (I've found that I don't get better unless I practice !!) Thanks again Take care Keith |

Liz Being an adult beginner I've fallen into this temptation before too, thinking I would get better if I buy a better instrument. And then, I asked my teacher to play my violin. Since that day, I have decided that I will only change when my violin sounds just like how my teacher sounds like when she was playing on it! |

Just by way of clarification (not that it's important really) I wasn't thinking that a better violin or bow would make me play better ... my concern was that getting a more advanced violin or bow might actually make me play worse because it/they might be harder to use for a beginner.
I could imagine that a better violin, strings and bow (and rosin) would sound better tonally than a really low quality entry level violin (which is why I'd been thinking about it) .. but not because it was making me a better player .. just because the inherent tone & resonance was nicer. Anyways .. my stentor conservatoire with obligatos and a brazilwood stick (or fibreglass p&h bow) certainly isn't holding me back! thanks again for the feedback though take care Keith |

Gov. Corbett Suing NCAA Over Penn State Sanctions
PA Governor Tom Corbett told reporters that the sanctions levied against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky scandal are arbitray and illegal.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett will file a lawsuit later today against the NCAA, asking the court to throw out all the sanctions leveled at Penn State by the organization after the Jerry Sandusky scandal became public.
"These punishments threaten to have a devastating, long-lasting and irreparable effect on the state, its citizens and its economy,'' Corbett said in a statement released to the press.
In July, the NCAA enacted the sanctions as punishment for what it saw as silent complicity while former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky molested and sexually abused 10 boys, some of the assaults taking place on school grounds.
Sandusky was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison in August after he was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse of the boys. The aftermath of the scandal also cost legendary football coach Joe Paterno his job. He was unceremoniously fired in November 2011, and died in January 2012. His statue was later removed in July from the public eye.
After Sandusky's conviction, the NCAA reviewed the grand jury report and the report prepared by special investigator Louis Freeh before determining the sanctions. The resulting punishment was the following:
- A $60 million fine.
- A four-year ban from bowl games.
- All Penn State victories from 1998 to 2011 were vacated, erasing Paterno's top spot in the NCAA record book for most major-college wins.
- A reduction of annual scholarships from 25 to 15 for four years.
- Five-year probation in which the university will have to work with an NCAA monitor.
Corbett told the press that these sanction seriously debilitated the college's ability to do business.
"The university is an economic engine, creating jobs, not only university-related jobs, but jobs in the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for businesses of all sizes in the commonwealth.''
According to the governor's office, Penn State's football program:
- Brings in an estimated 15 percent of visitors to Penn State football games from outside the state;
- Generated $161.5 million to business volume impact in 2009, with $90 million benefitting Centre County alone;
- Spent $16 million in Pennsylvania on goods and services with contractors and vendors in 2009 – essentially pumping money back into the state's economy;
- Creates about 2,200 jobs - both direct jobs, such as box office and concession staff, and indirect jobs, such as shopkeepers to restaurant and hotel staff; and
- Generates more than $5 million in tax revenue and supports a number of community programs run through and in conjunction with football and student athletics.
"These sanctions did not punish Sandusky for his despicable and criminal action," said Corbett. "Nor did they punish the others who have been charged criminally. Rather, they punished the past, present and future students, current and former student athletes, faculty members, local businesses and the citizens of Pennsylvania who have come to cherish this great university.''
The NCAA responded to the suit Wednesday afternoon, when Donald Remy, NCAA executive vice president and general counsel, released the following statement to the press:
"We are disappointed by the Governor's action [Wednesday]. Not only does this forthcoming lawsuit appear to be without merit, it is an affront to all of the victims in this tragedy — lives that were destroyed by the criminal actions of Jerry Sandusky. While the innocence that was stolen can never be restored, Penn State has accepted the consequences for its role and the role of its employees and is moving forward. The announcement by the Governor is a setback to the University's efforts."

The governor needs to mind his own buisness. we didnt elect him to interfer with these matters, He should be more concerned about fixing the state and saving home and the enviorment. The school needs to be punished for allowing that scumbag to do what he did. This just proves he can careless about the victems and is concerned about punishment on the school. No one is gonna patronize that school anyway despite what he does unless either you go there or are a football fan. Stop wasting taxpayerts money on frivious lawsuits. Maybe he needs to retire as well.

Yes, he is unconcerned about the victims. That's why one of the victims said he was glad the lawsuit is being filed: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--victim-no--4-in-jerry-sandusky-trial-supports-tom-corbett-s-lawsuit-against-ncaa-203458865.html

It's amazing that idiot like you who don't know the first thing about the NCAA and how those scum bag attorneys work . Maybe the NCAA should be elminated because they aren't doing a very good job at protecting the student athlete.

@Nicholas, if Corbett cared so darn much for the victims, why didn't he do something about Sandusky when he was Attorney General? He knew it was going on, yet didn't stop it. It sickens me to think how many more kids were needlessly victimized because Corbett sat on his hands for so long.

Corbett is finally doing the right thing in pushing back on these arbitrary and illegal penalties but also challenging the legitimacy of the morally bankrupt NCAA. These clowns seized like vultures on the tragic and unforgivable crimes of individuals to punish an entire institution and thousands of uninvolved people. Particulariy gauling is the $60 million "fine" which the NCAA would like to go into their slush fund and undoubtedly disappear without accountability.
Corbett's job is to protect the people of Pennsylania (and their money) and not allow these clowns to steal our money to assuage their guilt trip about their own moral failings.

No one has ever answered the question as to why a collegiate athletic program had the ability to fine a school over a criminal matter? Isn't that what the criminal justice system is for. Its tantamount to two parents getting arrested for stealing from work, and the parents employer levies a fine against the children. They had nothing to do with the crime but get punished nonetheless. The student athletes of PSU, students, alumni and fans has zero to do with the man that perpetrated those acts and the men who turned a blind eye, yet we are the ones whovsre punished.
10:18 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Everyone needs to stop calling attention to this and move on. More media attention only hurts the school.
7:21 am on Friday, January 4, 2013
How can U say move on; when the sanctions are Unfair ?
What do U want to try to sweep it under the rug like the Priests did ?

Well the NCAA has done nothing to the likes of Texas football players for there part in breaking NCAA rules as athletes,in drugs problems, possilble sexaul abuse or does it not matter if the abused was a women or child, its still abuse. how about North Carolina, the list goes on with athletes doing wrong and nothing seems to be done about it. Its very simple, the NCAA has been looking for a big fish to fry and to send a message. Its a shame it was Penn State not a bigger fish could be found.So they take a program, that has stood for years on its athletes academic record more then any university in the nation and rip it apart. For what purpose.
