Whether you're a professional musician, play music with your friends on the weekends or just like to listen to CDs, music technology affects your life. In this free course, Sound for music technology: An introduction, you will learn some of the basics of music technology, starting with what sound is, how it is created and how it travels.
After studying this unit, you should be able to:
- explain correctly the meaning of the emboldened terms in the main text and use them correctly in context;
- describe simply what a pressure wave is and give a simple explanation of sound in terms of a travelling pressure wave;
- explain 'cycle' in terms of an oscillating source and the pressure wave it produces;
- relate amplitude (including peak-to-peak and r.m.s.), frequency, period and wavelength to a sinusoidal waveform;
- calculate the wavelength of a pressure wave from a graph of pressure against distance;
- relate the distance that a pressure wave travels to the number of cycles of oscillation performed by the source in a given length of time;
- calculate the period of a pressure wave from a graph of pressure against time, and hence calculate the frequency;
- perform simple distance and time calculations for sound, given the speed of sound;
- use the formula v = f × λ perform simple calculations relating speed, frequency and wavelength of sound;
- explain phase difference and how it is quantified, and be able to relate cancellation and reinforcement to phase difference;
- calculate phase difference in seconds, degrees or fractions of a cycle from a graph showing two sine waves;
- read or calculate the amplitude, peak-to-peak amplitude and r.m.s. amplitude of a sine wave from its graph, given data relating amplitude to r.m.s. amplitude;
- discuss the relationship between amplitude and loudness, and between frequency and pitch;
- discuss the significance of the octave in terms of frequency and in terms of pitch, and the role of the octave in relation to musical scales;
- perform simple frequency calculations in connection with octave-related pitches;
- specify approximately where in the human frequency range the sounds used in music lie, in terms of both their pitches and the extent of the frequencies spanned by their harmonics;
- explain the use of the decibel as a way of representing sound pressure level;
- perform simple decibel calculations, given a table or graph relating decibels to ratios.

I made a reservation in College Park, MD at a hotel for one night. When I finished making the reservation, I discovered that the reservation was not thru the hotel, but rather thru Hotelsone.com. When the reservation was complete, I discovered that it was a "non-refundable" reservation.
I went back into another hotel booking site the following night, and discovered that I could have had the room for $20.00 less than what I booked it for, although the original site told me that hotel was sold out for the night I wanted to stay. It was not sold out.
Also, I wanted a non-smoking room, and the room reeked of cigarrette smoke. I contacted Hotelsone.com to try to get a $20.00 refund, but they would have no part of it. The $20.00 isn't what bothers me the most; it is the fact that I did not even realize I was going thru a site that had a non-refundable clause in the reservations. If you look at their Facebook page, everyone is complaining about them.

I love my Cricut! I only use it for the basics and would love to learn new ways to use it! Learning how to do glass etching! Looks like fun!
I've never heard of embossing vinyl before. That sounds like an interesting project. this DVD looks really cool and I would love to have it!
I love Joy and I'm sure I'm going to love your site too. I just need that small push to start w/ vinyl. So this video would give me the push I need.
I would love to learn how to do just anything besides basic letters or flat images! 🙂
I would just like to know how to cut vinyl! I am a follower and I like you on facebook!
I would start with a few t-shirts for Christmas.
I subscribe to Tidymom.
I like Tidymom on Facebook.
I actually just moved into a new apartment and I am dying to think of good things to decorate the apartment!
I love my cricut…but I have to say….I never cut vinyl becasuse I just dont know how. It looks complicated. I would love to make wall sayings…or car decals.
I also "liked" you on facebook!
I have been wanting to play with vinyl & this DVD is on my wish list. I have been a following Joy for awhile now on facebook & her blog. That is how I found you. I became a foolower of your blog & facebook.
I "followed" you! Love your blog, read it every day! I would live to win this DVD set!
I have enjoyed Joy's blog for months and really enjoy yours too (and now have subscribed!) I have a Cricut Expression which I use almost daily (for a couple years now) and would LOVE to start using it for projects using vinyl (branching OUT!!) I am excited thinking I might even possibly win. Thanks for the opportunity.
Wow thanks to you and Joy. I was sent here by Joy to enter the contest. I am a new follower here and facebook, etc…
I would love to know everything about vinyl. I have not used it but really want too. I do not have anyone who crafts near me so this dvd would be great. I craft with my granddaughter and she has wanted me to do some vinyl on her walls. I guess making things for a 10yr old's wall would be high on my list to learn, lol.
Great info and thanks for sharing all you do here. Congrats on your interview too
Chris Wooten aka Grandma Chris to most
Thanks for the link to Joy's site. I recently acquired a Cricut and have been searching the internet for tips and tricks!! YAY!!!
I would love to make some stuff for my sons wall, I think that would be interesting. And just some more crafting activities would be awesome. This would be a great treat after being laid off.
There isn't really "one thing" that I would like to learn most — I would just LOVE to have/win Joy's DVD. She's such a creative gal that I love anything she does/makes. The fact that she shares her awesome "gift of creativity" w/ all of us is very generous of her! 🙂
I'm interested in the re-using the vinyl
I'm subscribed
fan on facebook
Imagine all the things you could learn from these DVDs!!! I'd love so much to win! I'm a Cricut beginner, but would surely be a pro in no time with these great DVDs. I'd love to learn just about everything, but the basics would be a good place to start! Thanks for the chance to win!
Found it! I'd use the vinylology for the wine glasses, a cookie jar, storage jars, and possibly the bottom of glass baking dishes or the sides to personalize for gifts.
I'd love to learn about etching and try that on a few projects for Christmas gifts.
I follow on facebook too…
I would like to learn everything about using the Cricut. Its one of those things that I've dreamed of doing, being crafty but just keep putting it off, so perhaps this would encourage creativity.
That would be so sweet to make my own wall words! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to win this DVD….I have black vinyl from Mothers Day that I have not used…I am sooo afraid to put it in my Cricut….Sad…I know….LOL!!!! thanks for the chance…Ms. Super Joy ROCKS!!
I have never tried Vinyl but I would love to. I just got an Expression (its still in the box) and I need to start some new projects with it. I guess I need to know everything about using Vinyl first!
I want to learn how to do vinyl layering and have everything line up properly, vinyl on curved surfaces and vinyl on fabric :0)

Well, it came time to pay employees one friday and DJ didn't have any checks. What company can't afford to pay its employeess who bust there a*s for 70 hours a week? Not to mention that DJ came in two days earlier with a brand new suit on. That was my earnings on his body. He didn't earn s**t except head from his eighteen year old receptionist after we all left the office to be in the "field".
I left the company due to mistrust with my emppployer and after two years I still haven't recieved that paycheck from DJ. I sent numerous letters and phonecalls for that money and never recieved it. So bottomline is, if he still has an office and you are in it, than seriously consider getting out cause he has got you brainwashed. DJ really stands for Deceptive Jerkoff.

DJ Salafia is truthfully a great guy.. Great salesman, outstanding attitude.. TERRIBLE MANAGER!! Anyone who is out of this office will tell you that I had an unmatched work ethic b/c I believed in the illusive dream.. To all of you that are chasing that dream, DS Max is a great training program, if you have money stacked up on the side....
Jeff, you are always going to be my dog! Remember that time at Bennigan's when you got promoted?? If it's any consolation to you, the business was shut down, and Red Zone/United Promotional is no more.. AB is married, the BIG DOG is doing well, Gina is making money doing mortgages.. I believe DJ is selling cars out in AZ.... Get at me when you get a chance!!

Hey Titanic fan!
I agree. Does anyone know whatever happened to the woman Brady screwed and the (poor) child he sired?
He's a scum. Never mind how arrogant he is and overbearing with his teammates.
Super Bowl XLVI (New England Patriots vs New York Giants)
Sun 02/05/2012 6:30 PM EST
Lucas Oil Stadium
Indianapolis, IN Sell
Priced from: $1,220.00 USD
536 tickets left
Go Pats!
So far the cheapest I've seen was $1100.
The face value was $800.
I'm gonna see it just fine in my recliner , what for the price of the cable today.. a couple bucks or so , I reckun.. and the beer is cold and the pizza is hot!
We'll have to listen for the announcers to say it's Sold Out!
I hope they gave more than a few to Veterans.
Bless You, Eli.
Most of the attendees are "one percenters"
The local regional airports are clogged with private jet parking.
The good news is Obama's staying home, LOL.
Bob Costas and a chat with Madonna coming up.. oh joy..
Time to prep the brisket..
Here here. Mixing your politics and your entertainment is a mistake. Entertainment is there for you to have a life OUTSIDE the day to day grind which includes politics.
So I'm guessing those Pats fans that found this regular season disappointing have changed their tune in the last month.
She is starring in a TV show with T Selleck.
His teammates love him BTW.....

Wow kinda douchey - it's the place of John Hancock and Sam Adams.
I'm sure many of his teammates "love" him.
Doesn't mean he should be chewing them out anytime something bad happens.
Wow - disinformation. The snow plow was legal when they did it. BTW, I was there that day. And BB didn't film anyone's practice - they filmed the sideline signals as everyone did until that year, something you could do yourself with your cellphone at any game, including today's.
So exciting that America's Team made it to the Superbowl. Go Patriots!!!!! I cannot be more thrilled with them. We are so lucky to have such a great team representing the United States of America today. Patriots all around!!!!
Here's Baraq with his butt-boy Matt Luauwower.
I've got the sound off.
Let me know if there's anything interesting.
If you support the Patriots youre in the bag for Romney?
Wow and politics never gets a rest. I guess if your for the Giants you are for Shumer. Yuk they both stink. However, I am just focusing on the game and not who is for who or who supports who or what the owners party is. All nonsense especially when America's team, The Patriots are playing. They will WIN because they are good and deserve it not because some folks live in Mass.
the scumbag in chief is even here defiling the Superbowl
Posting from Indy here. It's been a two week party here in Indy and a really great time. We did it up right. Here's to rooting for the "other" Manning. Go Giants.
She's not as good as she once was, but she's as good once as she ever was, LOL.
God blessed us with incredible weather.
This has been an amazing week.
Watching the pre-game on NBSsports online and Obama has to come on. Does this @$$hole have to ruin even Superbowl Sunday...?
Stubhub tix just broke under 1000 bucks.
Interested to see if they hit face value by gametime.
——What NFL city, maybe outside of Green Bay, isnt a liberal cesspool?-—
Tampa Bay for one....
Tampa leans conservative for the most part.....
I am glad you guys are having fun out there. I have friends that live in Indy. Anyway sorry but you "Giants" are going DOWN....lol.
Roger that. I was able to spend lunch hour every day just wandering around the NFL experience downtown and check it all out. Jacket or sweatshirt weather all week, if that.
A bunch of Yankees playing football...should be called the YankeeBowl.....
Nawlins' Saints should be there.....Sigh....
I will watch the game....never pass up a chance to watch Yankees beat up each other...LOL
In Indy we're looking on the bright side.
He didn't come to the game.
Surprising since he's an attention whore and it's an election year.
I don't know about that. I don't much care for her music in general but I cannot say she does not have talent. She's 52 years old this year and still going strong after 30 successful years in show business.
I do like her song "Live To Tell" but that was from a long, long time ago.
On another Super Bowl topic, it is still almost two hours from game time but I am already stuffed. I've been eating all afternoon. Cold cuts, chicken wings, peanuts, pretzels, scallops wrapped in bacon. All washed down with several glasses of Sam Adams beer - including Chocolate Bock and Black & Brew Coffee Stout from their most excellent Christmas collection.
For some reason, even though I don't think I can eat another thing, I have a sudden desire for a Mounds bar. I haven't had one of those in ages - but that chocolate beer has given me a hankering for gooey coconut drenched in rich, dark milk chocolate.
He's the quarterback, and team captain. That's why he should be chewing teammates out when something bad happens, it's his job.
Where did Belichick coach Tebow?
No joke. I had to turn his mug off when his campaign commercial came on the screen.
NO is powered by a Purdue man.
Boiler Up !!
I'm thinking Tebow (and the rest of the Broncos) got "coached" by Belichick down in Foxboro three weeks ago last night.
At any rate, I think Tebow proved himself this year and has a spectacular career ahead of him.
"Does this @$$hole have to ruin even Superbowl Sunday...?"
Is it safe to turn on the pregame yet? I refuse to watch until the coverage is Bamster-free.
University of Florida? They made that clear when Tebow was honored to meet Tom Brady.
Well Madona did say she will keep her clothes on.
Baraq's done.
Still plenty of annoying NBC liberals on though.
That's right! Stir the pot .... you Ravens fan.LOL
You mean Obama spoke? Good grief, it seems like Obama cannot leave the tv alone.
Belichick has been an NFL coach continuously since 1979.
Before Tebow was born.
Gotta go with the Giants. If they can keep the penalties down, they got have an excellent shot.
Gotta go with the Giants. If they can keep the penalties down, they have an excellent shot.
Going with the Patriots, they can slow the Giants. Plus they have a bee in their helmets.
I bet he was cheating back then too. You just know it. Those beadly little eyes. That's it. That's what gives him away. And he's a pretty good coach. There's that too. But I'd still be on the lookout for "fans" with cell phones standing behind your defensive bench. I'm just sayin........
I turned turned on the television set and Zero's image showed up on the screen. I promptly turned off the television set.
Nobody who is watching the Super Bowl cares what you have to say Obama right now. They want to watch the game, not you.
He has had an interview segment in each Super Bowl pregame show since he became president. Hopefully today was the last.
Nascar driver Gordon and wife Vandebosch are seen before the Giants play the Patriots

Skip to comments.DIET: Don't laugh, but rabbits are scarce; producers can't ship bunny meat fast enough
Posted on 08/07/2005 5:57:53 PM PDT by BulletBobCo
WEST HAVEN, Vt. (AP) -- Talk about culinary irony -- rabbit meat is in short supply.
Despite the critters' proclivity to reproduce, demand for rabbit meat has surged in recent years and breeders are struggling to supply the many trendy restaurants adding it to their menus.
"We could easily be doing 1,000 a week. The demand is there,'' says Langis Anctil, whose Champlain Valley Rabbitry farm in West Haven, Vt., is working full tilt to raise that many bunnies a month.
Of course, it's not that rabbits don't reproduce fast enough -- it's just an 11-week cycle from birth to broiler. The problem is that there aren't enough producers.
It's just a $10 million industry -- stitched mostly from a patchwork of small farms and hobbyists -- so small the government barely tracks it.
For restaurants such as Minibar, a posh tapas-style eatery in Los Angeles that offered a popular rabbit sausage since opening nearly two years ago, this has meant serious supply problems.
"We would find a purveyor with the product at the right price, but then they'd run out and we'd find another and then they would run out, and that's what it's been like for about eight months,'' says owner Ravel Centeno-Rodrigues.
"Finally, we took it off the menu.''
The number of producers has been in a steady decline since rabbit's heyday about 60 years ago. That's when a wartime meat shortage led the federal government to urge people to switch to rabbit, making it a common offering in grocers' meat cases. But as the supply of red meat and chicken improved, rabbit fell from favor.
Rabbit meat industry insiders blame its decline for so many years on an undeserved bad rap. Though farm-raised rabbit tastes like -- surprise! -- tender chicken, it has a reputation as a tough and gamey meat (likely because wild rabbit generally is).
The Easter Bunny syndrome -- a reluctance by many Americans to eat animals that are cute and fuzzy -- hasn't helped, either, according to Pat Lamar, president of the Professional Rabbit Meat Association.
But it seems the bad reputation is fading and fuzzy is becoming fabulous. Today, rabbit is in restaurants from Los Angeles to Portland, Maine.
In 2004, the United States imported more than 1 million pounds of rabbit meat -- mostly from China -- a near doubling from the year before, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Much of that is ending up in specialty shops and restaurants, which have begun serving rabbit in everything from North African tagines and mixed grill to smoked sausages and salads.
"Rabbit probably at one point was more risque than offal (innards),'' says Shea Gallante, chef at Cru, an upscale Mediterranean restaurant in New York that offers rabbit sausage with gnocchi.
"Nowadays it's so common people think, 'Do I have the rabbit appetizer or do I have the calf's heart?'''
Kate Krader, a senior editor at Food & Wine magazine, sees rabbit on menus everywhere and attributes the renewed interest to the growth in bistro-style restaurants, which focus on rustic fare, including wild game.
What's impressive about the growth is that unlike beef and pork, there is no marketing effort behind it, she said.
Part of the appeal is health. Rabbit is low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein. Americans also are traveling more widely and encountering rabbit on European menus, especially in France and Italy. And American chefs are ever on the watch for new tastes and textures.
As rabbit becomes more common in U.S. restaurants, Krader thinks it's likely to show up in more grocers, many of which already offer such exotics as ostrich and buffalo meat.
Rabbit now is common in specialty food shops in large cities, and is creeping into mainstream grocers. Publix supermarkets offers rabbit at 250 of its 800 stores in the Southeast.
The meat has not fared as well in the grocers in the Northeast, however, where poor sales recently prompted Hannaford Bros. Co. to pull it from the shelves of its 146 stores after five months.
Such setbacks haven't slowed the industry much. At Pel-Freez, the nation's largest rabbit meat processor, work once slowed to part time much of the year. Now it is all the Rogers, Ark., company can do to keep pace.
The hodgepodge nature of the industry complicates that. Because so many rabbit breeders are small-time farmers who go in and out of the business, companies such as Pel-Freez must constantly look for new suppliers.
It also isn't easy on the breeding end. Rabbits can have high mortality rates and a dearth of processors means many breeders must rely on so-called bunny runners to transport the animals to slaughter, sometimes many states away.
Anctil gets around that by processing his own rabbits -- snapping their necks, skinning and gutting them. Despite a steady stream of chefs and culinary students visiting his remote farm, he seems surprised by his success.
He only regrets that he can't keep the rabbits on his farm a bit longer, fattening them up a bit more. He slaughters them when they reach 23/4 or 3 pounds. The market just won't wait longer.
"They move so fast we don't have time to get them bigger,'' he says.
When I was younger we had rabbits, and had rabbit on many ocassions, it's really good if it's cooked right.
I remember looking at rabbit in the frozen food section when In Africa..........The paws were left on so that you could be SURE it was rabbit.
Rabbit looks and tastes like chicken except it's usually more tender and the bones look all wrong.
What else might it have been?
Where I live and have lived, if you want rabbit, you just step outside and shoot one. Though I have seen them in the frozen section at the supermarket lately.
Mom made a bunny sausage to die for.
Well, maybe if a producer or two saved up a bit and put off selling their stock for a few months....
I hunt wild rabbit a good bit, and it tastes fantastic if cooked right.
"What else might it have been?"
Your cat!
I had distant relatives in Norway that durring WW2 when the Germans demanded their rabbit would skin a cat and give it to them. They kept the rabbits for themselves.
bookmark for later printing
Rabbits are mean and nasty things. I say kill em' and eat em'!
You can tell the difference between Cat and Rabbit right away, Cat meat is mushy when cooked, Rabbit meat firms up when cooked.
Bunny in a blanket
We had a kindly elderly Italian neighbor, when I was young, that would treat us to rabbit cacciatore every so often. Just wonderful but I haven't had the dish in over 45 years.
Get yer shootin' iron and make yerself a blind in my backyard. I got too many of them varmints chowing down on the shrubbery.
Dogs, cats or any other miscellaneous animal they could find!
Can't find rabbit in stores? I eat rabbit all the time. My store is the forest.
It disappeared from the menu of the only restaurant where we could order it. Our butcher neighbor can't get it, despite many attempts.
I can buy plenty of live rabbits, BUT nearly every seller requires a signed statement that it is for a PET only, and be neither bred nor eaten...even if it is Californian, New Zealand White, or other meat breed.
Pet shops & PETA types have turned rabbits from meat & fur critters to cuddly pets. I've seen some of them in action some decades (and several moves) back at a then-friend's rabbit farm.
"To heck with y'all! You'll never get me here!!"
Bunnies are yummy!
Especially if you eat it in front of a PETA whackazoid... mmmmMMM!!
Seriously, wabbits have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. That was the dinner I would get on my birthday.
Tsk. They probably did the same with cats and dogs, too.
About a year ago red tail hawks started showing up. During rabbit season last fall by brother who usually bags the limit, only saw about a half dozen and got 3 of them.
They aren't scarce enough in my backyard. Mrs H-T has forbidden Jr. & I from further eradication efforts with the Crossman.
I'm ready to start harvesting the things from my front yard, they're so plentiful.
My daddy used to say:
Never name an animal you are planning to eat!!
Rabbit is deliciouse. Probably, one of my favorite meats. That and duck.
Nice & tasty...
Do they look like this?
First it was cats & dogs.
Then baby duckies.
Then rabbits.
Little Lambies will be next.
They start with the 'cute' ones.
Slowly, they will incrementalize us to meatlessness, at which time we'll all be calling our local steak-legger.
And don't forget Arnold Ziffle, and 'pot bellied pigs'.
If they can't 'endangerize' it off the market, or regulate it to oblivion, they cutsie it off the table.
If my memory serves me right:
Cattle: 4 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.
Hogs: 3 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.
Poultry:2 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.
Fish: 1.5 lbs grain to produce 1# meat.
What is the ratio for rabbit?
I know tastes are a matter of opinion but I suspect that this author has no idea what they are talking about.
Rabbit,domesticated or wild,tastes like rabbit,not chicken.I eat many wild rabbits that I shoot each winter and they are not tough or gamey.I have had both wild and domesticated rabbit cooked together and you can not tell the difference.
If carrots are so good for eyesight, how come there's so many dead bunnies on the road?
Oh geez. She is so nice. That pic is late '60's for sure. Back in the day when women groomed and dressed to please us guys. So long ago....
Anyway - I grew up with fried rabbit and home fries every Saturday, for some reason. Must have been Grandpa's .22 rifle and some time on the weekend to hunt. Delicious the culinary memory to this day.
My books, from when I home raised them in the late 70s early 80s pegged it at 4:1, but that may have improved with newer meat breeds.
OTOH, the fat, bone, and water-content ratios are much better per pound than for chicken.
I should add, that I never wanted for fishing worms, nor did I ever have better gardens, than when I raised rabbits.
Wanna bet?
Didn't Michael Moore interview a woman who was selling "pets or meat" wabbits in Roger and Me?
I should add that the 4:1 is for pellets, not grain. The pellets are way less than half grain, and are mostly alfalfa.

After 1 year, when they were unable to correctly determine the matching contributions to our employees, we closed the plan. (We eventually sent them a correct spreadsheet so employees were paid correctly and then checks were issued to them to close out the entire 401k plan.)
In 2011, I began receiving notices from the IRS that our company had not filed the correct "401(k) clsoing documents." Sterling would NOT answer my emails, nor phone calls. Finally after 3 months, I got a reply on their internal, secure mail. It would not enable me to copy the correspondence no send a copy to myself for documentation. [continued below]....
I went out onto the US Dept of Labor website and filed what information I had, and got a receipt of filing within the time frame. I also filed responses to the IRS documenting everything I did - and what Sterling failed to do. The IRS is after me to pay $1600+ in fines...but I keep telling them, and showing them the docs that I did file.
Sterling won't return a call and no one will ever let you speak with a manager. It's nothing but a stonewall. I would sue them, but our tiny company is barely able to make it right now. HELP!

MonaVie Scam Exposed!
[Editor's Note: MonaVie has threatened legal action against me twice in an attempt to prevent you from reading this article below. Since I'm within my legal rights to criticize the company they've turned to gaming Google to push this article down the search results - an attempt to prevent you from getting the information you need to make an informed decision about the company. This article has been completely updated (as of June 2012) from the ground up to reflect much of the information found from the huge discussion (6000+ comments) that you'll find following the article. The original article about my introduction to MonaVie is preserved here. Reading 6000 comments may not be practical, so I've put some of the most important information at the Juice Scam website. However, due to time constraints, even that doesn't have the information in these comments.]
Is MonaVie a Scam?
The short answer is yes. The longer answer? It is perhaps the most incredible example of deceptive marketing in the history of mankind.
What I've found is tons of irrefutable evidence supported by reputable third parties that MonaVie is a grossly overpriced product, with little nutritional value, wrapped in a poor business opportunity that appears to be illegal pyramid scheme, supported by nonsensical "scientific" studies and illegal medical claims.
That's a lot to digest. I'm going to give you a minute to re-read that.
Typically when people are interested in MonaVie, they are focused on two things: 1) The nutritional value of the product and 2) the business opportunity. After all, the promise of MonaVie marketing is health and wealth for you and all your friends.
MonaVie's Nutritional Value
Many of MonaVie's claims come on something called a ORAC value. It's a lab test that measures anti-oxidants in food. On the face of it higher ORAC seems better, but there's a lot more to it than that. I'm not a doctor, so I'm not going to try to explain ORAC to you. However, Dr. Jonny Bowden explains that MonaVie doesn't cure cancer and gives great detail about ORAC in the process.
There are a couple more issues with regard to MonaVie an ORAC values. High on the list is that MonaVie lies about the ORAC score of MonaVie. They published two widely different scores.
Many distributors make the claim that drinking 4 ounces of MonaVie is like eating 13 fruits and thus is a way to save money. This is a huge lie. MonaVie put out marketing material that said it "Delivers the antioxidant capacity of approximately 13 servings of fruits and vegetables in just four ounces." MonaVie set up a the classic telephone game where the initial message conveyed changes as it passes through the downline and the words, "antioxidant capacity" get left out. In this statement, the antioxidant capacity is measured ORAC value, and the equivalent fruits and vegetables are not even mentioned. A MonaVie product specialist cleared this up when called, but MonaVie didn't issue a clarification or change its website for years... see more at Drinking MonaVie is Not Equal to Eating 13 Fruits.
To follow up on the above, a single apple has the antioxidant capacity of 9.5 ounces of MonaVie. If a person was relying on four ounces of MonaVie to give them the equivalent of 13 fruits, they are making a huge nutritional error as 13 apples has the equivalent ORAC value as 123 ounces of MonaVie. MonaVie Original retails for around $1.48 an ounce, so that's around $182 of juice for the equivalent antioxidant capacity of 13 apples.
A consortium of U.S. government agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), USDA, and the FDA to put out guidelines on fruit and veggies and serving size. The result is that 4 ounces of MonaVie is a Serving of fruit which looks like 1 snack container of applesauce (4oz) or about 6 baby carrots. At MonaVie's retail price of around $6.00 for four ounces that's like buying a baby carrot for $1.00!
If you need a little more evidence on the nutritional value of MonaVie, Men's Journal put several fruit juices to the test using criteria set up by a director or clinical nutrition. The result was horrendous, "MonaVie tested extremely low in anthocyanins and phenolics. Even apple juice (which also tested poorly) has more phenolics..." and "Plus, MonaVie's vitamin C level was five times lower than that of Welch's Grape Juice. That's not many nutrients, especially at $1.20 a serving." Website changes have divided the article into many pieces, but the you can read it in two parts: part 1 and part 2 with the MonaVie-specific comments.
What do national doctors have to say? Dr. Andrew Weil gives a thumbs down on MonaVie, Dr. Dean Edell calls MonaVie worthless, and Dr. Joe Schwarcz warns against acai health claims. These are all unbiased, nationally-recognized doctors.
I could continue to give facts about the lack of nutrition in MonaVie, but perhaps the creator of MonaVie itself is one of the best sources. The Salt Lake Tribune reported this interesting information that came out from a lawsuit with Amway:
The suit also uncovered an internal MonaVie memo by Ralph Carson, the company's chief science officer, who created the original juice. The memo was in response to raised eyebrows about claims being made about the juice. Carson cautioned that the drink was "expensive flavored water. Any claims made are purely hypothetical, unsubstantiated and, quite frankly, bogus."
Those claims that he's referring to are the illegal health claims that we'll get to in a bit.
Juice in general is not healthy
Another aspect to consider is that juice itself is shown not to be healthy. For years we thought it was healthy, but that thinking has changed and many view soda and juice as being the same. The HBO documentary Weight of a Nation clearly spells this out.
Here are some key quotes from that video: "Soda and other sugary drinks... is the only individual food that is directly related to obesity", "There is nothing in a soft drink that is good for you. A Twinkie or a potato chip or a candy bar has at least a little nutrition. These sugared beverages have none at all", and "Juice is just like soda... there is no difference. When you take fruit and you squeeze it, you throw the fiber in the garbage. That was the good part of the fruit. The juice is nature's way of getting you to eat your fiber."
When we take the statements above together, juice the same as soda, soda having less nutrition than a potato chip, it is clear that MonaVie can't be nutritious. The processing has stripped out the fiber... the good part of the fruit. Some may argue that MonaVie is only four ounces a day and it's not going to contribute to obesity. Well that 120 calories a day does add up... in a year it is 12.5 pounds (43,800 yearly calories divided by 3,500 calories in a pound).
(To prevent MonaVie distributors claiming that HBO doesn't know anything about health, Weight of a Nation was done with "the Institute of Medicine (IOM), in association with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).")
As you can tell from the label above, MonaVie doesn't have much of the fiber that comes from fruit naturally. Recently MonaVie started to add "fake" fiber (Fibersol-2 / Maltodextrin), so consumers looking at the nutritional label could be easily tricked into thinking that they are getting the good part of the fruit.
MonaVie's Specialized Health Drinks
MonaVie adds a special ingredient or two to its basic juice to create a juice for a specific purpose. The above illustrated the minimal value of the juice alone. Let's look at a few versions:
MonaVie Active - This MonaVie juice's star ingredients is glucosamine. In four ounces of MonaVie Active there are 1500mg of glucosamine. On Amazon.com, I found that you can get 375 tablets of Kirkland Glucosamine HCI for a price of $22.55 (as of 6/8/2012). It takes two tablets to equal the 1500mg of glucosamine in MonaVie Active, which comes out to 12 cents a day.
For a year, the Kirkland glucosamine will cost you $43.80. For a year of MonaVie Active (4 ounces * 365 days = 1460 ounces is about 58 and half bottles (25 ounces per bottle). At the retail price of $45 a bottle, 58 bottles costs $2,610 a year. You can save some money by buying MonaVie Active in bulk, but you'll never get the price under $1000, especially with shipping. You'll save at least a thousand dollars, perhaps two thousand by going with the equivalent cheap solution from Amazon or your local drug store.
With this noted, scientific research shows that it probably is not worth buying glucosamine at all.
MonaVie Pulse - This MonaVie juice's star ingredients are plant sterols and resveratrol added. In four ounces of MonaVie Pulse there are 0.8g of plant sterols. I couldn't find the amount of resveratrol. On Amazon, I found CholestOff, which actually has 0.9g of plant sterols. The 240 tablets, 120 servings, costs $22.22, which is 18.5 cents a day or $67.59 a year.
MonaVie Pulse is typically the same price as MonaVie Active above (around $2610, but cheaper if bought in bulk) and it too will cost you thousands more than the much obvious cheaper solution.
What about the resveratrol? Without knowing how much is in MonaVie Pulse, we can't really make a fair price comparison. There is this resveratrol, which will cost you $76.19 a year. The combination of CholestOff and this resveratrol is still a bargain at around $140 compared to spending a couple of thousand dollars and not knowing how much resveratrol you'll get.
While plant sterols have been shown to the FDA to help cholesterol levels, resveratrol remains and unknown... A couple of articles show that we might need to wait for legit evidence on resveratrol.
MonaVie M(mun) - This MonaVie juice's star ingredient is Wellmune, a patented derivative of baker's yeast from the pharmaceutical company, Biothera. Four ounces of MonaVie M(mun) has 250mg of Wellmune in it. Once again, I went to Amazon and found Immune Health Basics, which has 500mg of Wellmune. It costs $37.49 for 60 capsules or about 62.5 cents for 500mg. Since this is double the amount in MonaVie, the true cost per serving would be a little more than 31 cents. It costs $114 for a year's supply of the same amount of Immune Health Basics as you'd get in MonaVie M(mun).
The pricing of M(mun) follows that of MonaVie Active and MonaVie Pulse above, meaning that you'd save thousands by buying the capsules of Immune Health Basics.
When you do a little more research you'll find that Wellmune is also similar to beta glucans, a pill that you also might be able to find cheaply. When I last looked into Wellmune, around the time that MonaVie announced M(mun), research as to whether it was helpful was conflicting. One study of people found that they missed no more sick days than the placebo group when taking the product.
MonaVie MX - This MonaVie juice has the star ingredients of Active (glucosamine) and M(mun) Wellmune. Also, in addition to the basic 19 fruit juices in the juice it has 11 vegetables. Below, we'll cover in more detail why this isn't necessarily a good thing. As for pricing, this product like all of MonaVie juices is around $40, but in this case a few extra dollars due to having the glucosamine and the Wellmune in it.
MonaVie Essential and MonaVie Kosher - MonaVie essential seems to be a rework of "MonaVie Original" which is the basic juice with no star ingredients. MonaVie Kosher is a basic juice with no star ingredients that has been certified Kosher.
Bottom Line on MonaVie Nutrition: Any way you slice it (pun intended), MonaVie is not a good source of nutrition when compared to time-tested advice of just eating fruits and vegetables. If you are thinking about MonaVie as a dietary supplement, it represents the worst value for you dollar... and it isn't even close. The examples I gave of a single person spending thousands more than equivalent product is multiplied when you consider a family of four. That family could save an average of over $6000+ a year by replacing MonaVie's juices with products found in your drug store or on the Internet. Depending on your tax bracket, this simple decision could be the equivalent of getting a $10,000 raise tomorrow or winning a lottery that pays you $10,000 for life.
Does MonaVie Work?
While the talk of many, many testimonials may seem convincing, such testimonials are typical with any MLM product, especially health ones. The fact that you can many testimonials for dozens of other MLM products shows that these testimonials are not unique to MonaVie products... or any ingredients in those products. Instead, there's a wide variety of psychological phenomena with MLM health products that give people the perception that the products work. For more details see:
No Your MLM Health Product Does Not "Work."
The MonaVie Business Opportunity
MonaVie is sold via multi-level marketing also known as MLM. I've written about The Business of MLM (or What Gives Freddy Krueger Nightmares) before and is terrible. Here's a quick recap... click on the links to read more in detail:
- Around 99.54% of People Lose Money in MonaVie - This analysis was done using MonaVie's Income Disclosure Statement (IDS) the last time they included the number of distributors to make such calculations possible.
- No Barriers to Entry - Since anyone can be a distributor for usually very little money, anyone can be your direct competitor.
- MLM Distributors Lack Control of the Business - MonaVie can take your business away whenever it feels like it for whatever reason they want. I think MJ DeMarco might have said it best in his book Millionaire Fast Lane, "I was involved in four MLM companies. Not once do I remember dictating product decisions, research and marketing, marketing restriction, rules, cost analysis or any other activity fundamental to owning a business. As a network marketer, you don't own a business - you own a job managing and creating a sales organization... MLM distributors are commissioned employees disguised as entrepreneurs."
Below we'll get to the point about MonaVie and pyramid schemes. We'll cover how "creating a sales organization in MLM" can be considered as participating in illegal pyramid scheme.
- MLM and the Reality of Saturation - Recruiting people into MonaVie is where the Diamonds make their money. The problem is that the market is already saturated. You simply can't go to the top of the pyramid anymore because those positions have been taken for years. In order to get there you have to build thousands of people under you and if those people wanted to be juice salesmen they would have been long before now.
- Understanding the Churn Rate in MLM - Somewhere between 60% and 90% of distributors in MLMs leave the business every year because of the first bullet point above. They didn't make any money. MLMs replace these people with new hopefuls because their sales pitch is enticing. When MonaVie recruits someone they tell them that they too can have health and wealth for them and all their friends. Who wouldn't want that? The scheme churns through people every year with enough people quitting and joining so that the pyramid scheme never explodes past the population of the earth.
MLM distributors like say that it is up to the person to do the work and not be "Lazy." Well I'm an expert on Lazy and I can tell you that isn't the truth. In MLM, losing is not a matter of effort, it's a mathematical certainty. The circumstances surrounding the system set people up to fail.
MonaVie's Illegal Health Claims
When I first wrote about MonaVie and wondered why people would spend $45 on juice, I had no idea how the product was marketed. I was shocked as distributors left comments connecting MonaVie to helping with cancer, autism, fibromyalgia, and just about any and every other medical condition under the sun. MonaVie has not been approved by the FDA to help with such conditions making these claims illegal.
It wasn't until later that I learned that MonaVie CEO was the Vice President of Dynamic Essentials a company that madeRoyal Tondan Limu juice. The FDA warned the company about website claims to treat various diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and Attention Deficit Disorder caused their products to be in violation of the law. The company continued to sell the product and the FDA and Department of Justice fined the company millions and went as far as destroying the product. The action essentially put an end to Dynamic Essentials.
Dallin Larsen held "fireside chats" with hundreds of people. There is one "fireside" chat on Archive.org. He tells this convincing story how Dynamic Essentials is part of a publicly traded company with products in Wal-Mart and that they found this fascinating ingredient called Limu Moui. He goes on to essentially claim that limu that unique benefits to help with the system. At the 7:25 minute mark of the audio, Larsen tells of how he just came back from a tour talking to people who have used the product and tells of the stories he heard and how it has helping with asthma, arthritis, chronic fatique, fibromyalgia, lupis, migrane headaches, etc. He then goes to say that "We can't make [the claim that you aren't going to get cancer and heart disease]... I know that this product is having a benefitial impact on people's health.
MonaVie, is an identical copy-cat of Royal Tongan Limu juice, but with acai instead of limu. The illegal health claims that I've seen in the comments on my article and elsewhere on the Internet come straight from the leadership.
Newsweek did a story on MonaVie in which Dallin Larsen acknowledged that while MonaVie has an 18-person compliance team which investigates distributors making false claims, "It's next to impossible, like herding cats." In short, MonaVie opened Pandora's Box with their distribution system. The proper solution to fix this systemic problem is to distribute the product like Ocean Spray or Welch which doesn't have these problems. MonaVie refuses this logical solution that would prevent consumers from be defrauded out of their hard-earned money and still allow them to get the product to those who were interested in it.
When I found MonaVie distributor Mitch Biggs claiming that MonaVie prevents swine flu, I decided to help out MonaVie's compliance team and let them know. Mitch Biggs should know better. He was a MonaVie Emerald Executive, one of the top 166 distributors at the time, who make an average $155,000 a year. My goal was to find out how MonaVie would enforce the its policies and procedures which allow it to end a distributorship who is caught making illegal claims. Would MonaVie do what's right and make an example to show distributors that they can't be making these claims? Or would MonaVie cave, not wanting to create a rift amongst its distributors? The answer: Mitch Biggs Scams People and MonaVie Condones It.
A recent commenter suggested that MonaVie's compliance was doing its job, so I showed him this story, which is about two years ago as of this pointing (June 2012). I decided to go an look and see if MonaVie is still letting Mitch Biggs be a distributor, which lead me to this video on a local news show. It seems like Mitch and Ashley Biggs are making erroneous and deceptive claims multiple times saying that MonaVie is an "easy, convenient and tasteful, way to get your fruit every day" and "just an easy, easy, way to get your fruit." As we saw in a section above, MonaVie's Nutritional Value, this is quite untrue. The spot even took the effort to bring a vase of 13 fruits to illustrate the deception.
It may seem like I'm picking on one distributor, but this is a leading distributor who was made an example of once before and yet continues to break the law publicly. If this is the stuff that is going on in the open, imagine what is going on behind closed doors!
Some may suggest that this is an isolated case - one example of a bad seed that every industry has. That's simply untrue. It is a systematic problem which is so prevalent that Dr. Johnny Bowden's article that I mentioned at the very beginning of this article was titled, "No More Claiming MonaVie Cures Cancer!" These are the kinds of things that happens when you tell distributors that they can be millionaires if you recruit enough people to buy a juice that happens to be priced at 20 times more than other juices. The distributors have to come up with some way to market the obscenely overpriced product. They are naturally going to try to make a point that it is a value for consumers as a replacement for medicine or something seemingly expensive like buying a vase of 13 fruits.
MonaVie's Deceptive Marketing
If I were to go into depth about MonaVie's deceptive marketing, I would never finish writing this article. This article is already so long that I wonder if you'll read it. There's just too much to say. I also think I covered a lot of it above. So here I'll just give a few more examples:
In the above section, MonaVie's Nutritional Value, I went into detailed the 13-servings of fruit and ORAC score myth. That's a typical example of the marketing to keep in mind. Here are a few others:
- 19 fruits in the juice - MonaVie adds all these juices because the public has a perception that more juices is better. That's not necessarily true. Regular readers know that a mutual fund with more stocks does not necessarily out-perform those with fewer stocks. A pizza with a 7-cheese blend is not necessarily better than one with a 3-cheese blend. In fact, the more ingredients, the easier it is to dilute the ingredients that MonaVie touts like acai. When you have 18 other fruits in addition to acai, the amount of acai could be less than 6% and still be the first ingredient on the list. However, if MonaVie only had 2 fruits and acai was listed first, you'd know that you are getting at least 50% acai in every ounce.
- Freeze-dried acai - For years MonaVie touted the amount of freeze-dried acai because it had a huge ORAC score. The reason it got such a high score is the fact that water was taken out, which allowed them to pack more powder per ounce. However, it was shown that MonaVie is less than 2% freeze-dried acai, meaning that even with a high score, there wasn't enough of it to make a significant difference.
MonaVie's "Studies"
MonaVie relies heavily on their Scientific Advisory Board, specifically Dr. Alexander Schauss. Schauss has a long list of reputation problems. One of them was that he faked his credentials and got a mail-order PhD degree from California Coast University. MonaVie pitched Schauss as an expert on acai, but they are the only ones who recognized him for anything like this. The reality is that Schauss was the supplier of his OptiAcai brand to MonaVie.
Schauss, through his AIBMR Life Sciences, pumped out a lot of "research" which could fool some people into thinking that there was actual science. In fact, MonaVie product specialist Erica Bryant wrote distributors to tell them that AIBMR is the only source of that they should use. Some of this research led to ridiculous papers such as this "Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study" on MonaVie by Schauss. It doesn't take a scientist to see that it was made for the specific purpose of giving distributors fuel to recruit more people. Tellingly, the final conclusion of the study made mention of another study that showed that eating fruit had positive results as well.
MonaVie: An Illegal Pyramid Scheme?
I believe MonaVie is an illegal pyramid scheme. Here's why:
How you can help put an end to the scam
The best way to put an end to this scam is to go to the FTC Complaint Assistant and file a complaint. A recent article on CNBC had comments from the FTC saying that few people file complaints on these schemes and thus they rarely put in the resources to investigate them. There are two reasons why there are so few complaints:
- People are brainwashed from the beginning that the system "works", and "the only variable is you." Thus people feel as if it is their own failure rather than recognizing the system was mathematically set up to fail over 99% of people from the beginning.
- The FTC doesn't do anything. You leave a complaint and that's the end of it. The complainant gets no follow-up from the FTC and there's never any evidence that the complaint is ever read. It's fundamentally terrible system... but that's what we have to work with.
With that said, if you're as upset as I am about people being lied to and defrauded out of their money, please leave a complaint. If you do, please sent me a quick mail. This way, I'll have an idea of the minimum number of complaints that MonaVie is getting.
MonaVie Mynt
Update: MonaVie has started marketing to college students and those who have recently graduated. These are probably the worst candidates for such overpriced MLM products. They have little income and often high student loans. I believe that MLMs have nowhere else to turn as the general population know that it's a scam. I think they believe they will catch them early before they've gathered the wisdom to know to stay away.
I wrote a whole article about MonaVie Mynt.
[Editor's Note: This article itself is a constant work in progress. I didn't have the space to get into explaining the scamming behind MonaVie's MORE charity. Publication deadlines force me to publish this without proofreading. In the future, I hope to go into more of MonaVie's products like its RVL line of weight loss, which is a copy of other other MLMs and also a terrible value compared to the equivalents in stores. However, at this point, it does more to help people to get this information in their hands quickly and that means saving some of the editing for another day.]
multi-level marketing, scam... and focuses on:

You said "I'm just the messenger relaying the FTC guidelines are stated here. Once again, you are welcome to your opinion, but you give no basis for why anyone should trust it. Your repeated errors discredit your opinion. I've worked hard to explain why I stand by the FTC's guidelines."
The FTC appears to have nearly a half a billion dollar yearly budget in the federally approved budget numbers. You claim they have no money to go after MLM violators.
Half a billion dollars is alot of money. If there were so many violators, I would think this budget would be sufficient to at least sent out non-compliance letters that would then show up in their database.
Fact is, there are very few in their database. Ergo, the business are in compliance with federal law.
FYI: Your captcha is very annoying. It fails probably 1 time in 3.
The final nail in Dallin Larsen's coffin.
I have mixed feelings about the settlement, as it benefited a few hundred pricks at the top of the pyramid — the same people who were instrumental in scamming thousands of people.
***If only someone could have seen.this.coming. ;-)
Rewind with me…can you hear the chants of "I am an independent business owner with an MLM business, I am NOT an employee of MV"…now fast forward to "Judge awards settlement to "MV employees" and now all those independent business owners are hoping to call themselves employees.
It's ALL dirty, IMHO.
I don't know as a percentage how many were sucked or forced into the ESOP – but it says 420 folks will be better off. However, 420 multiplied by the avg payout of 30k comes to $12.6m, far short of the $19.8m settlement…is that the legal fees…?
For me, all employees at MV are culpable and many will be just glad to have had an income for a few years followed by a 30k payoff and all without that nasty public publicity, eh? They must be feeling like the train drivers into Auschwitz.
this is absolutely shocking news
Lazy Man, Candace, Strangely, Lattimore – the dream team reunion! Now that Monavie is a distant memory, relegated to the ash heap of snakeoil/pyramid scheme history, I raise my glass and salute you all. It's safe to say that our combined efforts were instrumental in bringing about Monavie's demise. A mitzvah!
He he. Remembering the bear….

We're good here, it's just sometimes my hands type quicker than my thoughts and I forget things. I'm not sure what you mean by cemetery registry as to his location. I have a very good working relationship with the cemetery office an they provide the locations for me. In turn I'm helping them out with corrections (errors) I find and assist in helping them up date their records. I do have contact information for the cemetery if you wish.

Fischer: Welfare Just Gives Money To "People Who Rut Like Rabbits"
Bryan Fischer says there can be no debate "about whether or not Christians ought to be involved in politics" - they should. And they should be seeking to "liberate people" and free them to "make choices that affect their own lives without the interference of the overreaching hand of government."
As such, it is time to end welfare to the poor because all it has done is give money to African Americans "who rut like rabbits":
We have spent over $16 trillion fighting the war on poverty, and it's time to run up the white flag of surrender. Poverty has won. We now have more people on food stamps - think children here - than at any time in our history. The war on poverty has been a total, dismal failure and it's time to recognize that. You get more of whatever you subsidize. You subsidize poverty, which we have done since 1965, and you just get more of it.
Welfare has destroyed the African-American family by telling young black women that husbands and fathers are unnecessary and obsolete. Welfare has subsidized illegitimacy by offering financial rewards to women who have more children out of wedlock. We have incentivized fornication rather than marriage, and it's no wonder we are now awash in the disastrous social consequences of people who rut like rabbits.
And children are the ones who get chewed up. Welfare, as Walter Williams has pointed out, has done what slavery, racism and Jim Crow laws could not do: destroy the black family. The Christ-centered statesman puts himself in the place of a fatherless black child, sees the catastrophic damage that the meltdown of the family has caused, and pursues policies to wean people off marriage- and child-destroying welfare, and pursues policies that incentivize marriage, incentivize self-reliance rather than abject dependence, and incentivize the reconstruction of the American family.

What is News? It's a fascinating question.
Whatever it is, the more I hear it on the radio, the more I despair.
I've always thought – and still do – that radio should inform its listeners on the most important issues in life and to aim high. Lead by example; If you can, tell them things they might not want to know, but should know. Part of having such a valuable licence to broadcast in the UK means investing in news, and treating it correctly.
Of course, you can deliver it in any style you want, but dumbing down is a big mistake.
Opinion has a place in a bulletin, especially if it comes from a reputable source, but the more I tune in, the more opinion rather than facts are inserted for ease and the increase of 'promotional' items as credible news stories, is appalling.
Yesterday, I heard an LBC bulletin promoting a new weekend show for Katie Hopkins, with a voice piece from her that was nothing more than a promo; and today countless other stations are trying to convince us that Cheryl Cole leaving the X factor is far more newsworthy than a dozen other stories that failed to get a mention.
Entertainment is news, is what I'm told. I get that, and I also understand that listeners are keen on stars and their lives. But, does it merit a mention in a formal news bulletin?
Is the news bulletin idea old-fashioned; A respected PD recently told me that 'news' is what we think listeners want and delivering that, is all that matters.
A top pop star – appealing to teenagers – being caught snorting cocaine is a news story, a failing pop star leaving a failing reality show, is not.
Perhaps I'm wrong. I feel old…Taxi for Myers.

I soon regreted having dumped them all in one place...
Then the important Technic-bit:
(The bricks on the axle are there as a counterweight.)
(The Technic bush prevents the gear from turning back, the lever was added so once the bridge was raised it can be lowered again. :P )
Oh, yes, the back again, in case you were wondering how that was progressing.
And the front:
As you might be able to tell according to my initial design I was planning on adding the roof here, with easy access to the lever. But the entire structure had to be raised a couple of bricks so the bridge could be drawn in completely.
And, ladies and gentlemen, the finished structure:
(It's obviously quite tall for minifig standards...)
And here are two lovely shots of the gate drawn up:
That's it, I'll keep you guys informed on further progress of my Bastion. The idea for this drawbridge originated from a book I recently bought: THE LEGO IDEAS BOOK, YOU CAN BUILD ANYTHING! Just in case people thought the mechanism looked familiar.

Anyway, let's get building!
Initial design for this statue of The Fallen Knight:
End result:
(If you're wondering what changed: it's the tree. I had to make it shorter, or it wouldn't fit...)
Expect more updates soon.
