His little girl
Trusting the Heavenly Father after an earthly one fails
I remember the day my dad left. He knelt and hugged me and cried. The skimpy dress of a five-year-old girl could not protect me from the chill that gathered around my arms and legs. The scratchy tickly whiskers-would I feel them no more? The arms that felt so safe-would they be gone forever?
What would it be like not to have a father?
The years to come provided harsh answers to those questions. Mine was not a carefree childhood. Shuffled with two brothers between foster home, relatives, and-when things worked out-my mother, I toughed out the tough times. My innocence gave way early on to a cynic's worldview: Don't depend on anyone and no one will disappoint you.
As we approach the celebration of Father's Day on June 21, anyone without a father will understand that the loss doesn't end when you grow up. The scars are like the glossy, too-tight skin that grows over a deep wound. Beneath the protective cover lies too much tenderness.
For the longest time I didn't know about the tenderness. I tended the gloss-taking control of my future, acquiring a good education, rising above the pattern of my family's past. I guess you might say with no one to believe in, I learned to believe in myself.
Only when this unsustainable strategy dropped me down and out-and more alone than ever-did I finally face my fatherlessness.
So it was in my 30s, sensing a spiritual vacuum, that I finally launched a search for God. For someone like me the New Age movement held enormous appeal. Here I could wander into nooks and crannies, borrowing this and that to construct an image of God to mesh with my own deficiencies. Crippled by the lack of a real father in my life, seeing God only as some remote and impersonal force, my hope was that through understanding I could appropriate the force-recognizing "God within me"-then manipulate it to find happiness.
With my eyes on the ground, happiness was as high as I could aim my sight. I wouldn't have thought to seek God's love. And yet how amazingly unconditional and enduring that love remained for me. As I misunderstood God and wandered, he still protected me from harm, continuing to draw me nearer, gradually softening my heart.
My husband helped to soften me-though I never could have told him then. Watching him father our children was like peeking through a frosted pane into a warm and cozy room within. Although seeing my children experience a happy childhood was the next best thing to having one myself, how I wished sometimes to climb inside and receive that kind of love myself.
How ready I was the moment I first understood that God was my father. At last, I was someone's little girl! To this day, 10 years later, I cannot approach God intellectually, but only as a child and with no reservations, I feel such love: Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me (Psalm 27:10).
Is it not a miracle that someone who missed an earthly father's love can be healed to receive the love of the Heavenly Father? But isn't he the Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals? Isn't it the greatest privilege of all to call him Abba, Father?
According to Vine's Word Dictionary, "Abba is a word framed by the lips of infants and betokens unreasoning trust. Father expresses an intelligent apprehension of the relationship. The two together express the love and intelligent confidence of a child."
I remember once, before he left, my father carrying me home in his arms as blood gushed from a jagged cut on my foot. I was four and I was frightened, hoping that my father could take care of me. But though that day he stopped the bleeding, no earthly father could have healed the wounded heart he later left behind.
That hurt cried out for the love of a Heavenly Father. And so I will always be God's grateful little girl-trusting, dependent, and filled with faith in the arms that will never let me go.

Damn... I better reopen that thread!
Glad to see you're doing better! And I'm glad you took people's advice and saw a doctor. It sucks to be in the dark about your health, and even worse when you find out there's a problem. But at least they can treat it, and it sounds like you're going to be all right.
Live, dammmit! LIVE!

Mayor Jay Harvey said Friday that a three-person committee of himself, councilman Buddy Zavesky and city attorney Terry Baiamonte had reviewed 18 applicants and narrowed the list to six finalists. One of the six finalists has since accepted another position.
Among the five finalists is city finance officer Larry Zermeno.
Harvey said the city council will interview the five finalists on Jan. 9 and 10 and a candidate could be hired for the position as soon as late January.
"The end of January and beginning of February is what we're looking at," Harvey said. "We had a lot of attractive candidates. Goliad attracts some good candidates. We're excited that we'll select a good person for the job."
The position became vacant when Sereniah Breland resigned in September to accept a similar position in Oklahoma.

Entrance fee
about 4 years by Anonymous 5 / 5What a treat! We had such low expectations from the previous review. They have two very manicured formal gardens as well as some more natural areas. They are connected with winding, often shaded paths. Different styles of sculpture are placed along the paths. The back of the garden has a beautifully stoned creek running thru it. After reading the first review I was concerned that my grandmother in a wheel chair would have no access, it was quite the opposite. Everything was availble with smooth paths. The previous person must have visited another garden!
about 7 years by Anonymous 2 / 5Go to the museum which has lovely permanent collection and usually a small jewel of a traveling show that you would not see at one of the big name museums in a major city...then take a short stroll thru the garden, getting a cardio workout on the many stairs and sloping paths.

Help: A Few Problems With My Puma
Climbatize replied to Climbatize's topic in Ford Puma ClubThanks for the advice, I'll certainly try the trip button and report back. Someone else (on another forum) has mentioned rust on the inside mirror, and regarding the engine light - they had suggested because my milage was digital, that it is possibly related. Like you said though, I will find out when I take it in on Friday. Shame if thats the case re: signal Thanks for your help
Help: A Few Problems With My Puma
Climbatize posted a topic in Ford Puma ClubHi there, First time here - I found out about this place from the pumapeople forum. I have a couple of issues with my Puma which I'm looking for some advice on, I've booked my car into a Ford dealership for a full service next week but I'd like to get some additional information in preperation. Besides the car needing serviced I have the following faults, in which I'd appreciate if 1. Is it expensive to repair, and roughly how much am I looking at and 2. Is it difficult to identify the cause. 1. The passenger side electric mirror does not go up or down. 2. The speedometer stopped working 2 days ago. 3. The engine light lit up on the dashboard today - could this because of the speedometer? 4. The remote key fobs sometimes won't work unless I get quite close to the car, is this just a case of replacing the battery and a weak signal as a result? My Puma is a 1.7 late 2001 model and only has 30k miles. Thanks

Ben & Jerry's 2012 Free Cone Day – April 3rd
Posted By Jim On 04/02/2012 @ 4:10 pm In Personal Finance | 13 Comments
Every year, Ben & Jerry's gives away a free cone [3] on their self-created holiday called Free Cone Day. This year, that day is April 3rd (tomorrow… as of this writing) and when you go to a local Scoop Shop, you will be able to get some free ice cream! The best part is that they don't care how many times you go – you can go as often as you'd like, as long as you're willing to wait through the inevitable long lines.
It's their 34th year and here's the store locator [4]. Be sure to call ahead though as some stores may not be participating. Stores will be open from noon until 8 PM.
Sadly, none are near us in Maryland.

If food items carrying genetically modified organisms (GMO) are safe, why is the biotech industry vehemently refusing to label, and in fact pumping in millions of dollars to defeat measures that call for conspicuous food labelling? This question, raised by nutrition experts and farmers, is more relevant now than ever before.
If you thought our global food crisis can't get any worse, guess who's winning this year's Nobel Prize of Agriculture? Robert T Fraley, Executive VP of Monsanto is one of the recipients of this prestigious award (equivalent to the Oscars) on World Food Day October 16 for creating genetically modified organism (GMO).
The Bowman vs Monsanto Supreme Court hearing is big news in the United States and we are seeing ripple effects of it up here in Canada. Although some headlines sparked by interest groups that oppose modern agricultural production methods, including use of genetically modified (GM) crops, might suggest otherwise, this case is not about farm-saved seed.
The Calgary Board of Education has recently opened the door to the naming of classrooms to corporate sponsorship. Naming of classrooms or programs leads to some very fundamental questions about public education and has many drawbacks. One of which is if you allow Coca Cola a five year deal on a school gym, why not another school sponsored by Pepsi? If they can sponsor a high school gym, how about a junior high? A middle school? An elementary?
Last week, a ground-breaking study revealed that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) pose a serious threat to our health. Among the obvious stingers of these findings lies the fact that one of the GMO crops used during this study, the Monsanto NK603, has been allowed in the Canadian food system by Health Canada since 2001. How did our government allow us to become the mice of Monsanto's own experiments?
I just read that the Chinese are modifying cow's milk to produce human breast milk. According to a piece on the Natural Society website, "The milk is still undergoing safety tests, but with government permission it will be sold to consumers as a more nutritious dairy drink than cow's milk." I don't know what I could possibly add that you're not already thinking. It's almost as bad at Monsanto's hormone-laden Frankenstein of a milk product.
This year, I think it's time to do away with your grassy lawn and replace it with food! That's right, having your own vegetable garden has always been smart, but now, it's also trendy. Let's hear it for eco-progress! Here are nine reasons that you should get planning and planting your urban farm (or even a simple herb garden) today...

Tallahassee, Florida- August 6, 2012
The 2012-13 school year kicks off tomorrow in Florida with seven of the state's 67 school districts beginning classes this week. Charlotte County leads the way by opening Tuesday with Brevard, Citrus, Lee, Nassau, and Walton counties beginning Wednesday and Sumter County on Thursday. The remaining school districts will start through mid-August.
"A new school year is always exciting and brings the promise of high expectations," said Commissioner of Education Gerard Robinson. "Florida teachers and district leaders have done phenomenal work increasing student achievement and I am confident they will continue to build on that success in the coming year. My wish for the new school year is for a healthy, safe, and productive environment that gives students the opportunity to excel."
For a complete list of Florida's public school district opening and closing dates, see the 2012-13 School District Calendar
The beginning of the school year also brings a reminder of school bus safety. According to a survey conducted earlier this year, more than 21,000 motorists illegally passed stopped school buses on one day in April. By learning about and observing school bus safety laws, citizens can help keep children safe while they travel to and from school on the yellow school bus.
In an effort to help the public become more aware of school safety laws, the Florida Department of Education has compiled a variety of school safety resources and parents are encouraged to share them with their children and families. A list of school safety resources is below.

The Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat have swapped places atop the NBA's Eastern Conference. The Pacers now have a half-game lead after Chris Copeland's driving layup with 1.2 seconds remaining gave them a 104-102 victory at Milwaukee. Copeland finished with a season-high 18 points for the Pacers, who benched their usual starting lineup for the entire game. LeBron James poured in 37 points, but the Heat absorbed a 107-102 loss against a Memphis team that's trying to keep its postseason hopes alive. Zach Randolph had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Marc Gasol added 20 points and 14 rebounds to help the Grizzlies stay one game behind Phoenix for the last Western Conference playoff seed.
Former NFL MVP Adrian Peterson advocated for college athletes yesterday, saying they deserved to be paid for the millions of dollars they bring to schools. The Minnesota Vikings running back also took aim at NBA commissioner Adam Silver's stated desire to require college players to spend two years in school before declaring for the draft. Peterson said he felt a kinship with Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel as a fellow high-profile athlete who generated significant revenues while he was in school at Oklahoma.
The Nebraska football team has gained two homegrown recruits according to the Omaha World Herald. The Huskers added a commit from three-star Omaha North guard Michael Decker when the 6'4, 280-pounder called the NU coaching staff to give his pledge. Later in the evening, they added Omaha Central defensive end DaiShon Neal. Nebraska's 2015 class went from seven commits to nine. And Omaha Public Schools was back on the Husker pledge list for the first time since the 2007 recruiting class, when Omaha North receiver Niles Paul committed to the Huskers. Neal had just returned from an unofficial visit to Oklahoma State and had an offer from Ohio. Decker, who had received offers from Kansas State and Wyoming, is rated a three-star prospect by Rivals and Scout.
The Omaha World Herald & Lincoln Journal Star have updated their high school soccer rankings. In the boys rankings, in the Omaha World Herald, Omaha Creighton Prep remains first in the 'Nebraska Top 10' & Class 'A'. In Class 'B', Gretna is once again first, Columbus Scotus slips from second to fourth, Schuyler remains fifth, Columbus stays at number nine. In the Lincoln Journal Star, Omaha Creighton Prep remains first in Class 'A'. In Class 'B', Gretna is once again first, Columbus Scotus slips from second to third and Schuyler remains fourth. In the girls rankings, in the Omaha World Herald, Omaha Marian is the new number one in the 'Nebraska Top 10' & Class 'A'. In Class 'B', Elkhorn South is once again first, Columbus jumps from ninth to fifth, and Columbus Scotus slips from fifth to sixth. In the Lincoln Journal Star, Omaha Marian is the new number one in Class 'A'. In Class 'B', Elkhorn South is once again first, Columbus Scotus moves up from fifth to fourth, and Columbus enters the rankings at number seven.

We think it's pretty cool that the last device to hit our review desk in 2013 was the flagship for a new smartphone platform, one we'd been eagerly anticipating for the better part of a year. Jolla's Sailfish OS isn't just a confluence of MeeGo, Maemo, Moblin, and a bunch of other made-up words; it's a sign that innovation in new platforms isn't dead yet. If you're bored of iOS, Android, and Windows Phone and you're not too sure about BlackBerry, Jolla is here to soothe your contrarian soul ... and all you need do in return is tolerate a little Beta tag.

We've recently run a series of articles discussing the awesome features of certain mobile platforms, and how those highlights drive users to love them. We've covered Windows Phone, iOS, and Android, the platforms with the best combination of mindshare and potential, and today I thought I'd give a shoutout to a lesser-known (but immensely influential) player in the mobile space: webOS. If the details are hazy with the passage of time, here's a brief refresher. webOS was Palm's replacement for its legacy PalmOS, the platform that helped launch the smartphone and PDA revolution via the Palm ...

Department of Psychology at Illinois State University
Students admitted into a master's sequence (Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences, Developmental Psychology, Industrial/Organizational-Social Psychology, or Quantitative Psychology) may complete the coursework for a second ("dual") sequence.
Students should complete the Application for Dual Sequences. The application is an interactive Microsoft Word document that should be completed on the computer. Students should print the completed application, sign and date the form, and then submit the signed application to their sequence coordinator.
If appropriate, the sequence coordinator may write a letter of support for the application. The sequence coordinator should submit the application and letter of support, if applicable to the coordinator of the second sequence. The faculty members of the second sequence will review the application and determine if the sequence is appropriate based on the student's goals, qualifications, and the second sequence's resources (e.g., space limitation, faculty availability, etc.).
The coordinator of the second sequence has the authority to approve or deny the application for dual sequences. The coordinator of the second sequence will complete the lower portion of the application, and will submit the application to the Graduate Programs Office for processing.
The Application for Dual Sequences, which has been approved and signed by the coordinator of the first sequence, must be submitted to the coordinator of the second sequence by November 1.
If dual sequences are approved, students must complete the University's application process in order to be admitted to the second sequence. The Graduate Programs Office will contact the student with application instructions. Students should notify the Graduate Programs Office when they have completed the application. When the department has approved the application for the second sequence, students will be notified by the Graduate Programs Office when final admission to the dual sequences has been completed.

Ever imagined what a guitar with a resonator body would sound like with a humbucking pickup and a capo at the 12th fret, played through a Marshall stack? John Walden creates just such a virtual instrument, with the help of Roland's VG88 V-Guitar System.
Time was when your average male guitarist would turn to publications of rather a different sort to SOS if he was interested in 'modelling'. More recently the word has been used in a very different sense, and digital models of amplifier and speaker technology are an established part of many modern guitarists' lives. Roland and their Boss offshoot have been significant players in the development of this approach; indeed, perhaps one of the most innovative products to appear at the start of the modelling trend, the VG8 'Virtual Guitar' (reviewed SOS May 1995), was made by Roland.
Not only did the VG8 attempt to model various amplifier and speaker combinations but, because it took its input signal from Roland's GK2A split pickup, it could model every stage of the sound-production chain. From pickup, through guitar-body style and amp/speaker combination to digital effects, all were modelled. And while the VG8 was perhaps not a true guitar synth, it did offer some very non-guitar-type sounds.
SOS's 1995 review shows that Paul White was obviously very impressed by the technology of the VG8. However, he also commented that it didn't offer acoustic guitar simulations, didn't output note-on/note
Excellent range of electric guitar tones available.
Good acoustic, 12-string and synth sounds to boot!
Editing a breeze (if a little slow), since Roland have made very good use of the VG88's LCD.
No dedicated knobs for rapid sound-shaping.
No pitch-to-MIDI conversion.
As yet, no PC or Mac editing software.
While digital amp modelling is now widely available, the VG88 is still a revolutionary instrument built on some impressive digital technology. If you want something more than just straight guitar sounds and have an experimental streak, the VG88 might be just what you're looking for, both live and in the studio.
While the VG88 retains the 'stealth-bomber doorstep' look of the VG8, some details of the hardware layout have changed. As well as a new expression pedal, an additional 'CTL' (control) footswitch is provided (which can, for example, be assigned to switch particular effects on and off), and the positions of the editing controls have also been adjusted. However, anyone familiar with the VG8 will soon be able to find their way around the VG88.
The rear panel (see page 78) features an input for the 13-pin cable from the GK2A pickup, six jack sockets, MIDI In and Out ports, and a power switch. From left to right, the six jack sockets provide a standard guitar input, guitar output (an unprocessed out from the guitar's standard pickups), main left/right outputs, a stereo headphone socket and, finally, a connection for an additional external footswitch or expression pedal. A dedicated button on the VG88's top surface allows the main output jacks to be switched between three modes, depending on whether the unit is hooked up to a guitar amp, power amp, or a line-level device such as a mixer or multitrack.
The review VG88 was supplied with a GK2A pickup, which is connected to the guitar's jack socket via a short patch lead. The GK2A then connects to the VG88 via a supplied 5m lead terminated with a 13-pin connector. This lead can carry the output from both the GK2A pickup and the guitar's standard pickups to the main unit, so there's no need to have two leads trailing around behind you. If you have a suitable guitar on which you don't mind mounting the GK2A, installation itself is relatively simple. An alternative, if more expensive route, would be to buy one of the many 'Roland-ready' guitars available that have the GK2A built in.
Once all the necessary connections have been made, the F6 button (located beneath the LCD) provides access to various driver settings for the pickup, including individual string sensitivity. Usefully, the settings for a particular guitar/pickup combination can be stored in one of five memory locations, so if you have more than one instrument equipped with a GK2A you'll be able to switch between guitars quite quickly.
It's worth emphasising at this point how the GK2A/VG88 combination generates sound. Like the VG8, the VG88 is not strictly a guitar synth, although it can generate some synth-like tones. The GK2A pickup, like a standard guitar pickup, is responding to string vibrations but, importantly, the pickup is split and detects the vibration of each string individually. It is this information that is passed to the VG88 so that it can apply its modelling magic. I'd like to emphasise here that no pitch-to-MIDI conversion is involved; the source of the sound is always the string vibrations. These vibrations are not used to establish a nice neat MIDI pitch which, in a synth, might then be used to trigger a sound sample (ie. a trumpet) at that pitch. As a consequence, the VG88 does not suffer from the tracking delay found in most true MIDI-based guitar synths -- bends, tapping, hammer-ons and whammy-bar antics are all allowed.
A sound (patch) is constructed from an effects chain that, by default, follows the sequence shown in the diagram below. Patches are organised in 65 banks of four patches each, with user patches in banks 1-25 (which can be overwritten); banks 26-65 are presets.
From the Name/Chain men
Effects Highlights
As you would expect of a Roland unit at this price, the standard of the VG88's effects is very good. The delay and chorus treatments are excellent, with editable parameters that provide a good deal of flexibility. The reverbs are also pretty convincing, with five basic types (two rooms, two halls, and a plate) and a maximum decay time of 10 seconds (although you can expose their digital nature if you really go to extremes). The pitch-shift and harmony settings in the Modulation block are great fun too. With just a little care, some stunning harmony effects can be achieved.
As with many recent Roland products, patch editing on the VG88 can be undertaken at a number of distinct levels. Pressing the F5 button gives access to the Global settings that apply to all patches. These include two-band EQ, reverb and noise-reduction levels, and would be useful in a live context if you were moving the unit between different performance venues.
For individual patches, the EZ Edit function provides a way of making quick tweaks. Pressing its dedicated button brings up virtual knobs on the LCD for control of the patch's Drive, Tone, Modulation (ie. depth of chorus) and Delay levels. Each virtual knob can be selected with the cursor keys and then adjusted with the value wheel. While this is all painless enough in the comfort of your own recording studio, it is obviously not the same as turning real knobs, as found on an amp or some of the other popular amp/effects simulators that are currently available.
In edit mode proper, each of the processing stages shown in the signal-chain diagram can be edited in some detail. Most of these stages (compression, EQ, delay and reverb, for example) offer exactly what you would expect, and the sound quality and degree of control is up to the usual Roland/Boss standard. For example, the EQ stage in the main signal chain is a four-band affair with the two middle bands being fully parametric (see the 'Effects Highlights' box opposite for other examples).
The Amp button calls up the VG88's palette of amplifier and speaker simulations. Both this section and the guitar section (see below) use Roland's COSM (Composite Object Sound Modelling) technology. The 'Amps & Cabs' box below provides a full list of the options, which cover all the obvious ground. The manual doesn't give the real names of the amps modelled, but the labels used make it clear what to expect, and the icons in the LCD depict the general look of the amp each model is based upon.
Build Your Own
So far, the range of amp models and digital effects provided by the VG88 is, essentially, what many modern guitar processors now provide. But things get really interesting when you press the 'Guitar' button, whic 'JC120': A nice clean Roland Jazz Chorus amp.
Amps & Cabs
The amp models available on the VG88 are listed below. A similar range of cab models is available, covering 1x10, 1x12, 2x12 and 4x12, plus 'Flat' (for acoustic use). Open- and closed-back types are included, as are some close/distant virtual microphone positions.
'CLEAN TWIN': A cleanish Fender Twin model.
'CRUNCH': Exactly what it says on the tin!
'MATCH DRIVE': Based on the popular Matchless tube amps.
'VO DRIVE': Be a Beatle with a Vox AC30.
'BLUES': Intended for blues lead, with plenty of mid.
'BG LEAD': '70s/'80s tube sound for those that want to rock.
'MS1959 (I)', '(II)' and '(I+II)': Think generic Marshall (with two channels that can be used individually or mixed together) and you're on the right lines.
'SLDN LEAD': A Soldano amp model.
'METAL 5150': Peavey's finest moment?
'METAL DRIVE': If you've got the Spandex, this has the gain.
'AC.GUITAR': A preamp for acoustic guitar use.
'JC120': A nice clean Roland Jazz Chorus amp.
For constructing a virtual version of a standard electric guitar, the Variable Guitar (Vari GT) is the most suitable model. This provides both a choice of pickups and of guitar body types, and allows adjustment of a number of parameters associated with each of these (the selection of editable parameters available depends upon which guitar model is selected). In addition, pitch-shift and pan can be set for each string. The relative levels of the GK2A and standard pickup can also be set via the Mixer option.
A number of preset pickup configurations are available. These cover twin humbuckers (as on a Les Paul), three single coils (as on a Strat), and a range of others, including P90s and PAFs. [Both of the latter are vintage Gibson pickups, the second standing for 'Patent Applied For', referring to the sticker found on some early versions. PAFs are invested by some people with a mystique that doesn't attach to later versions without the sticker... Ed]. The more adventurous can select the Vari pickup option, which allows single-coil, humbucker, acoustic, piezo and 'microphone' pickups to be mixed and matched. Their tone, phase relationships, and position relative to the bridge (yes, you can just about get the pickup to sit on the 12th fret!) can also be adjusted. For the guitar body, Solid, Flat, Round, f-hole, Metal and Banjo types can be selected. 'Flat' and 'Round' simulate acoustic guitar bodies, while 'Metal' is a resonator type. Again, an icon on the LCD changes to indicate the nature of the selection. Body size and degree of resonance can also be set.
The intentions of the Acoustic, Nylon Strings, Open Tune and 12 Strings models are obvious. As with the VG8, the Open Tune model essentially applies pitch-shift to each individual string. The presets include open D, E, G and A tunings, but a User setting is available to create other tunings, if so desired. The results are very convincing and it is easy to see how this could be really useful in a live context.
As summarised in the 'Virtual Guitars' box, the remainder of the guitar models are more specialised and, rather than modelling a real guitar, use COSM processing to create a range of both guitar-like and more synth-like sounds. The d
Virtual Guitars
'VARI GT': The 'build your own electric' model -- amazing flexibility.
'ACOUSTIC': Takes the GK2A output and simulates steel-string acoustic sounds.
'NYLON STRINGS': Ditto for nylon strings!
'OPEN TUNE': Extremely convincing open tunings without any need to retune the guitar.
'12STRINGS': Each string is pitch-shifted and combined with the original pitch for a 12-string simulation.
'PD SHIFT'; Allows the expression pedal to be used for pitch-shift -- instant whammy bar on a guitar with a solid bridge!
'POLY DIST': Distortion applied separately to each string. Overdriven chords sound a little less mushy.
'POLY COMP': Compression applied to each string individually, for greater level control.
'POLY OCT': Allows variable amounts of sound one and two octaves below the original to be added for each string.
'POLY SG': This 'slow-gear' model simulates a violin-type effect by fading in the volume.
'BOWED': Simulates a bowed string instrument.
'DUAL': Adds distortion and some pitch 'glide' into the original note, all in response to picking intensity.
'FILTER-BASS': Basic filter but, when combined with the various amp models, capable of a very versatile range of bass-synth sounds.
'PIPE': A soft woodwind model suitable for some nice lead sounds.
'SOLO': More soft synth-type lead tones.
'PWM': Pulse-width modulation model for creating some analogue-like synth sounds.
'CRYSTAL': Metallic synth tones.
'ORGAN': Organ-like tones.
'BRASS': Sort of guitar meets brass -- interesting!
Roland have struck a good balance between making the editing process easy and keeping the number of hardware buttons and controls reasonable. The excellent LCD display certainly helps here. This said, sound-editing on the fly in a live context might be a little fiddly; in the studio this is less of an issue. Still, given that the unit has a MIDI input, I wonder whether software editing from a PC or Mac is something Roland might consider at some stage?
Back To Reality
As you might expect, given the variety of processing options described above, the range of sounds available from the VG88 is considerable, and even the presets take some time to explore properly. Switching off the COSM guitar and digital effects modules demonstrates that the amp models are good in their own right, and if you used the VG88 just for these, some very professional tones would end up on your recordings. Relative to, say, the Line 6 Pod or Johnson J-Station, editing amp simulations is a little more cumbersome, as there are no dedicated 'amp-like' controls, but from bright and clean through crunch and into the high-gain models, all the main types are represented. I particularly liked the Clean Twin, which could be coaxed from a real jangle through to gently overdriven, and the BG Lead, which I thought gave a really nice, warm overdrive.
But to use the VG88 as something like a Pod substitute is to miss the point. Adding in the COSM guitar modelling gives more flexibility to any of the basic amp models -- swapping between using a single-coil, P90 or humbucker pickup model with, say, the Clean Twin amp gives you exactly the differences in sound that you would expect. The VG88 might not replicate the exact tone obtained by plugging three particular guitars equipped with these pickups into a Fender Twin, but each model is pretty close, in terms of the general flavour of the tone. The simple conclusion is that, for straight guitar tones, the sounds available from the combination of COSM guitar and COSM amp modelling are flexible and of high quality.
Patches based on the non-electric guitar tones illustrate the versatility of the VG88. For example, Presets 55-1 through to 56-3 are all based on the Acoustic, Nylon and 12-string models, and I'd be happy to use any of them live. Even when fairly exposed as solo instruments in a sparse mix, their sound quality and realism are highly convincing. It's possible to do without the wash of reverb applied by the Roland programmers, too. For a few strummed 12-string chords, choosing '12ST AG' (Preset 55-4) is considerably easier than tuning up a real 12-string!
Presets 58-1 to 65-4 give a reasonable demonstration of the more synth-like tones available from the VG88. 'Fat Bass' (59-1) and 'Drv Bass' (60-1) are good examples of the bass guitar-type sounds available, the latter having some real power to it. 'Syn Lead' (62-2) lives up to its name, and as the GK2A is quite happy to respond to tapping techniques, some really over-the-top solos are possible. 'MildHorn' (64-2) is also quite expressive; the slightly slowed attack and swell of the note can give a feel not unlike the Irish pipes (not quite Davy Spillane on guitar, but that sort of effect!). While the level of flexibility is not as great as you'd expect from a true synth, what is available is very good.
There is no doubting the impressive technology around which the VG88 is built. Whether used for creating virtual guitars or amps, or for its palette of synth-like tones (which are useful, if limited in range), the VG88 would do an excellent job, both live and in the studio. It's a worthy successor to the original VG8.
Like the VG8, however, the new unit still does not provide pitch-to-MIDI conversion, so anyone wanting to use their GK2A pickup to drive an external synth, or record with a sequencer, will need to shell out some extra money for a separate device to do this -- which is a shame, given that a good deal of the necessary hardware is already built into the VG88.
As excellent as it is, the VG88 is probably going to appeal to quite a niche market. If you need straight amp simulations and you already have some decent 'real' electric and acoustic guitars in your recording arsenal, there are much more obvious equipment choices that might be made (including other devices from Roland and Boss!). Many of these will certainly match the amp simulations available in the VG88, and some may offer a wider choice of amp models and dedicated hardware controls that make sound editing much more like working with a real amplifier. However, if your budget can stretch to the VG88 and GK2A combination and you want a dose of the unconventional to go with your bread-and-butter amps and effects, the VG88 is well worth exploring. As a live or studio tool for the experimental guitarist it offers serious fun and serious sound in equal measure!

San Diego's clout rises as fleet modernizes
Navytown: Pentagon devotes billions to build up West Coast fleet
The fleet is in, and you might not recognize it.
San Diego Bay is now home to troop transports that have masts shaped like huge traffic cones. They're docked near quasi-frigates that resemble lawn darts. And room is being made for a huge destroyer whose design is unlike anything seen since the Civil War.
Navy Town, aka San Diego, is getting a makeover.
In the endless effort to prepare for the next war or skirmish, the Navy is spending tens of billions of dollars to modernize its fleet. Far-reaching change is under way, involving everything from the Navy's ability to search for mines in shallow, nearshore waters to projecting Marines ashore on distant beaches.
San Diego is at the center of the transformation, as it has been many times in the past. The makeover is being sparked in part by the "Pacific Pivot," the Pentagon's term for placing greater numbers of modern warships on the West Coast, where they can rapidly respond to any troubles and other demands in the Asia-Pacific region.
Navytown: Special report
Since spring 2010, nine new warships have been assigned to San Diego. At least seven more will arrive in the next four years, including the Zumwalt and the Michael Monsoor, which will be the two largest destroyers in Navy history.
The influx also will include the first eight littoral combat ships, a controversial and as yet unproved replacement for frigates and minesweepers. They'll share the bay with America, a next-generation amphibious assault carrier expected to arrive this fall.
The 16 ships cost about $20 billion to build, an investment that's being augmented by San Diego's private defense industry.
General Dynamics-NASSCO has been building Mobile Landing Platform vessels, a new type of Navy auxiliary ship that will serve as an offshore staging base for amphibious forces. General Atomics is working on a ship-borne electromagnetic rail gun designed to fire projectiles upward of 100 miles. And Northrop Grumman is developing the Fire Scout unmanned helicopter, an aircraft that would be carried by ships.
The transformation has been in the planning for years but has taken on fresh importance due to international politics.
"Every day, in places like the Koreas, the South China Sea and the East China Sea, our allies are facing real threats to their sovereignty and to the peaceful status quo," says Eric Wertheim, a defense analyst and author of the U.S. Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World.
"San Diego will play an ever-increasing role because it has such a wide array of assets," he added. "It's the Navy's West Coast anchor for responding to crises throughout the Pacific."
Ships of the future
San Diego has been a testing ground for new naval technologies for about a century, something that will be clearly evident in the next few years as the Navy introduces a variety of vessels.
Littoral combat ships: These vessels, also called LCS, were designed to be a comparatively inexpensive replacement for frigates, minesweepers and patrol boats. The Navy contracted with industry for two classes of LCS — a monohull that looks like a patrol ship on steroids, and the Independence, a trimaran whose long bow and flared after-section makes it resemble a lawn dart.
Both models were designed as high-speed, shallow-draft ships capable of taking on equipment for narrowly defined missions, some involving special-forces troops.
Originally, the Navy planned to have 55 littoral ships, a figure that slipped to 52 early on. The expectation was that LCS would come to represent about one-sixth of a 305-ship naval fleet.
San Diego is home to four littoral ships, and another four are on the way. But the future of the program is fuzzy.

WHEELING - Not many people will argue the Wheeling Central girls' basketball team has been down the past two seasons.
Sure, the Maroon Knights qualified for the state tournament in Charleston both seasons, but both those teams ended with losing records and one-and-dones once they reached the big stage. In fact, the 2009 version lost to Bishop Donahue in the sectional championship before upsetting Williamstown in the regional co-final to make it that far.
And this is two seasons coming off a remarkable run in which Wheeling Central won the state title in 2008.

But just when you thought it was safe to put the Maroon Knights on the schedule, guess what? They're back.
''I think we can be a pretty good team,'' Wheeling Central coach Penn Kurtz said after Thursday's 63-39 victory against Linsly. ''We have good balance. We have good presence inside, outside. Most of the time we play pretty good defense so we can do a lot of good things on the court.
''We just have to see how well we come together over the last half of the season.''
So far the Maroon Knights are off to a good start at 11-3. They were the winners of the Main Street Bank-Undo's Ohio Valley Catholic Tournament last month, defeating rival Charleston Catholic in the title game.
Wheeling Central also earned a lopsided victory against city rival Wheeling Park.
As for the defeats, two of those came against undefeated teams in Shadyside and West Virginia Class A No. 1-ranked St. Marys (which eliminated the Maroon Knights in last season's state tournament).
The difference so far this season has been the scoring.
Last season, Wheeling Central scored 40.6 points per game. Through 14 games this season, the Maroon Knights are putting the ball in the basket at 58.6 points per game. Their lowest output was 44 points in the victory against Charleston Catholic.
''We shot 22 percent from the floor last year and now we are shooting the ball much better,'' Kurtz said. ''That goes because of Cassie (Sorge), Emily (Bucon) and Molly (Kurtz). We have an inside game with Colleen McCormick and Libby Altmeyer, Ashley Martin, Julia Palmer. They can all score and that helps.
''Last year, if the team stopped Cassie, we struggled to score. So we have balance in every position and that makes it easier to score points.''
Wheeling Central is back on the floor Thursday as it tries to avenge its loss to Shadyside on the road. Tip-off is 7:30 p.m.
They Have Our Number
With the schedule the Wheeling Park boys play, it wasn't likely the Patriots were going to go undefeated in the state of West Virginia.
Already edged out by Archbishop John Carroll during last weekend's Cancer Research Classic at Wheeling Jesuit University, Coach Michael Jebbia's team dropped its second straight with a loss Friday night to Logan.
Even without Noah Cottrill, last season's West Virginia Player of the Year and former West Virginia University recruit, Logan got the best of Wheeling Park for the fourth straight time.
Wheeling Park dropped all three meetings against Logan last season, including the Class AAA state championship game.
Not to worry Patriots fans. With a wealth of talent headlined by Bubby Goodwin and Marqez O'Neal, Wheeling Park bounced back Saturday night with a 102-96 victory against Ripley (6-3).
As for the defending state champion Wildcats, the Patriots will get another shot at them when Logan visits the Palace on the Hill on Feb. 12.
That Time of the Year
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were busy days last week in the high school basketball scene, as compared to the beginning of the week.
Snow wiped out many of the games, leaving athletics directors around the OVAC scrambling for make-up dates. Best of luck to them!
There are a few snow showers expected this week, but it doesn't look like anything serious. Hopefully we can have a full slate of games.

As whooping cough causes many more deaths than diphtheria, measles or scarlet fever,1 it is important to know whether prophylactic injections of vaccine do or do not prevent the disease. The use of convalescent serum to control and prevent whooping cough was reported as early as 1901, as quoted by Griffith and Mitchell,2 and whooping cough vaccine has been in use for more than sixteen years. Fresh vaccine and stock vaccine have been used. While Huenekens3 believed that stock vaccines some months old are valueless, Mishulov, Oldenbusch and Scholl4 claimed that eight different stored preparations were tested at the end of four and one-half years and found to be highly potent, as measured by their power to stimulate specific antibodies in rabbits. Sauer and Hambrecht,5 in their excellent study of the problem, stated that as a prophylactic measure vaccines are lauded more by the practicing

We have moved and here is a view of the Paddle Boat right behind our boat. It is so pretty. I really do like it here so much better. It is a very nice Marina.
We are off to a new marina tomorrow. The owner raised everyone's dock rent, so bon voyage. Not many people plan to stay in this marina anymore. We are taking our boat to Sun Harbor. We are looking forward to everything as this marina has nothing. We will have WiFi, cable TV, clean showers, laundry room, there is a huge TV in the lounge with a couch. I haven't sat in a couch in months. I'm use to being uncomfortable. The best of all will be the hot shower.
Oh here is a picture of my car (bike) it is all ready to go, sitting on the back of the boat. In the morning we will fold it up.
Oh it's Super Bowl tomorrow, and I have the 3D glasses. With cable TV we should be able to see really well. It will be nice to watch Wheel of Fortune and see the letters clearly.
This dolphin was racing around our boat today chasing a fish. He caught the fish, raced by the boat and went back into the open water. The dolphin swam so fast, flipping and turning.

It has been kind of cold here lately, but we managed to get another baggy wrinkle made. We have done a lot of things that you just cannot see.
Here we are making baggy wrinkles. What are they? "Anti chaffing", They cover up wire to line connections, so that the sails do not get worn when they rub up against the lines. They look like big pom pom balls. First we cut line into 18 inches, and tie it to the line, and finally wrap it around the area you want to cover to protect the sails. It also makes a good Santa Claus beard.
Look at Santa!

Dr. Sarah G. Khan Quoted at Everyday Health for Raspberry Ketones
After Dr. Oz announced his endorsement of raspberry ketones in a February 2012 episode of his talk show, it instantly became the biggest craze in weight loss. DietsInReview.com immediately spoke out about the purported "miracle" weight loss supplement.
The insights of our resident pharmacist, Dr. Sarah G. Khan, were shared by Everyday Health in an article published February 9. She says these raspberry ketones in effect help regulate the body's metabolism. She also warns that these supplements are not ideal for everyone, due to possible negative effects for certain diseases or illnesses.

Main Console Board Failure
Today the main control console on our Philo studio failed at about 12:55 PM, just as the Farm and Garden Show was about to begin. Because Rich was here, he was able to cobble together a working substitute in about five minutes from parts taken from the console in Studio B. We had hoped it was the power supply because that seemed like it might be the problem and it's a much cheaper solution. But that isn't it. Rich will be up late tonight (the station will be off the air after midnight) swapping parts around getting something reliable working, and we'll just have to hope we can identify what isn't working so we can order those parts.
We are very close to replacing the main console board anyway - we have some grant money set aside for it and we're hoping that the Mendocino Community Foundation comes through with another grant we seek for it. But changing the hub of the whole system - which is what the control console really is - isn't something we can do in haste or in a day.
Meanwhile, in case you wonder why we need to make money from pledge drives, here it is.

Lake Marion Lake Getaways
Lake Marion has over 450 miles of shoreline, which is home to lakefront communities, as well as the communities of wildlife it harbors. Development around the lakes is carefully planned to work in harmony with nature and to protect the environment. A key to this plan is a policy to preserve at least 70 percent of the area surrounding the lakes in a natural, undeveloped state. The diverse and abundant wildlife in the Lake Country make it a haven for the sportsman. In addition to the many species of game fish that inhabit the lakes, their shores teem with wildlife. Deer, fox, squirrel, dove, turkey and duck share this beautiful area with the majestic bald eagle, osprey and alligator.

Some important credit card updates this week:
Ink Bold/Plus 60K Offer Ending June 1st
The increased 60K offer is supposedly ending on 6/1, so if you were planning to get the card, now is the time. The normal offer is 50K, so it's not the end of the world if you miss it. Still, you might as well get the extra 10K points if you can. The 5x on office supply stores is still one of the cheapest way to manufacture points, as long as you remember there's a $50K/250K point limit per year.
Ink Bold – 60,000 bonus points
Ink Plus – 60,000 bonus points
Ink Cash – 30,000 bonus points
New SPG Amex 30K Offer
The SPG card is one of my favorite cards, and has a permanent place in my wallet. Despite some recent difficulties with SPG, they're loyalty program is still valuable and their points are the most valuable (in terms of cents-per-point) than any other points currency. In my opinion, it's the best 1x card, and it's a good debate whether to use the SPG card or Arrival card for non-bonused spending (and maybe a topic of discussion later).
Normally SPG waits until August to bump the bonus from 25K to 30K, but this year they decided to do it a bit earlier and a bit differently. You have to be referred by someone that already has the card in order to get the 30K bonus (and the person that referred you also gets a 5K bonus).
If you're interested in this offer and also wouldn't mind helping me get some referral points, please email the following to info (at)
- First and Last Name.
- Email address (if different from the one you're emailing me from).
- Whether you want the personal or business card referral.
If you have the card and want to refer others, you can click these Personal and Business links.
New Chase Freedom 20K Offer
The Chase Freedom card has no annual fee and has 5x categories that rotate on a quarterly basis. Sometimes the categories are useless, but other times you'll get something like grocery stores or drugstores where you can easily manufacture spend. The only downside is that you're limited to $1.5K each quarter for the 5x bonus (so 7,500 points). Still, it can be very useful to have. I have one and don't plan on cancelling it since it has no fee, and it has a spot in my wallet right now because one of the 5x categories right now is restaurants.
Here's a link to the increased offer. I haven't seen one this high in quite some time (usually you'll get 10K), but I was lucky and got it at 30K a few years back. I'm not sure it'll get that high again.
