Patterns, coherence, and the strange spaces of sentiocentrism
The Universes instantaneous self-destruction button, to anesthetize and assassinate or The undiscovered infidelity are all explained ignoring the existence of individuals in the habitual sense of the word. Versión en español I'll define "conventional sentiocentrism" as the the moral position that considers that the ability to feel is the relevant criterion for establishing who are the beings who deserve moral consideration. I'll define "strict sentiocentrism" as the moral stance th...
The radio metaphor explanation in the description of reality and subjectivity
Apparently, we are all different kind of people who get born and die. However, it would be more logical to think that we are all only one being who lives forever. Let´s see the radio metaphor. Versión en español In the 80s and through the BBS (before the internet) I run into a document that seemed to have been written by a madman. Among other things -and the author insisted on it- because the size was 5 MB (really too much for the time, when almost everything was only Bytes or Kilobytes size...
Implications of a plausible Sentience Platonism in the prevention of suffering
Even if the probability of Sentience Platonism were extremely small, while there is a higher than zero probability, and considering that is not very clear where sentience comes from, we might think twice before disregarding this idea, because should it be true, its implications for preventing suffering would be immense. Platonism is considered an ontological dualism which proposes the existence of two kinds of reality: a sensible world (the world of things perceived by the senses, in which ...
Interests, preferences, pain and suffering
There are people who say that we negative utilitarians are obsessed with pain, and they are right. Versión en español These people say that there is not only physical pain (or "pain") but also psychic pain (or "suffering") and that this suffering can also be horrible, and they are right. They also say there are more things in life. That there are other interests, not only the interest in ceasing to suffer, but also the interest in enjoying, and here also are right. They also say that there...
First ideas on Sentience Platonism
"Sentience platonism": that could be the name for the idea that I tried to explain in the "open mic" at sentience conference 2016. It's one type of dualism (well... to be more accurate... it's one type of non-monism, because could be compatible with dualism, trialism, cuatrialism...) and is close to "open individualism" but it's quite different. The idea is: experiences exist as platonic entities, and our subjective experiences are instantiations of this platonic things. Like the Redness of ...
How to recognize sentience?
Two errors There are two very common assumptions in the issue of consciousness / sentience that I think are wrong: It is generally assumed that "in the absence of at least one centralized nervous system, consciousness will not arise." That is, if a being has no brain, he does not feel. But I think it's the other way around: if there is a functioning centralized nervous system, we can fairly safely affirm that there is a consciousness / awareness. But if there is no centralized nervous syste...
Rationalism and altruism
Three ways in which love rationality is shown: love as an act consequence of the desire to love love as the better solution of prisioners dilemma with communication open individualism and empty individualism
Symmetry between emergentism and immersionism
Emergentism and immersionism are two symmetrical metaphysical approaches to describe reality. In the emergentist approach "material things" (materials), grouped in a certain way, generate individuality (the self). Additionally, the individual experiences the existence of "experiential things", such as the feeling of cold or love, but this "experiential reality" is considered an epiphenomenon or even denied (eliminativism). In the immersionist approach, "experiential things" (experiences), u...
Human cryonization risks
[I]t is an elementary consequence of probability theory that even very improbable outcomes are very likely to happen, if we wait long enough. Huw Price327 I have begun to consider that human cryonization has associated a high risk of extreme and lasting suffering. Imagine for a minute that cryonization works, and keeps the "I" alive, even if you think this is impossible. If it works, what probability do you think there is to be intense torture if your body is locked up in the facilitie...
Negative utilitarianism
In some way, pleasure and pain could be "traded". But some suffering is too high that can't be traded (or, is like "infinite"). But the symmetrical is not true: there's no happiness that can make worth the worst experiences. This is why I say I am negative utilitarian (NU). But some people say I am classical utilitarian (CU) in daily experiences (between some degrees of happiness and suffering) and negative utilitarian (NU) in hard experiences. Ok. I could say that I'm a classical utilitar...
Asymmetry between pleasure and pain
I think there is no significant difference between the reasons why non-human animals whose future lives are going to be predictably negative do not commit suicide and the reasons why we humans do not commit suicide. The reason is the same: we were not designed to enjoy, but for the survival of our genes. Most lives, even human ones, are not worth living. In the case of nonhuman animals it is even worse. Pleasure and pain appear to be useful, and be in different ways, justifying the existence ...
Ethics is a masquerade, the show must go on
Next I introduce the idea that ethics is a farce while there is genuine cooperation and altruism between individuals, and I make some proposals to maximize altruism, compatible with previous ideas.
Rationalism, empiricism and phantom extremities
Versión en español publicada en el Blog de Vivelibre Apology of rationalism ... Epilepsy has historically been considered the "sacred disease" because of its connection with altered states of consciousness linked to a strong religiosity and mysticism. In Spain suffer some 400,000 people and many of us have been and seremos- witnesses of epileptic seizures, so it is certainly advisable to have some basic understanding of how to act in front of these crises. Fortunately, today we have a scie...
Sentience platonism
Abstract I'll call sentience platonism the idea that experiences exist by themselves, regardless of sentient beings who experience them. Even if the probability of sentience platonism were very small, while there is a higher than zero probability, we might think twice before disregarding it, because the implications on prevent suffering would be immense.

Reasons to reject veganism
Reasons not to be vegan: Veganism? Whats this? I ve never listened talking about that topic. Stop eating animals? What do you want, that I starve to death? What am I going to eat? I am an animal of the human specie, omnivorous, with a diet esentially omnivorous. My parents were omnivorous, my grandparents were omnivorous and most of the rest of the people of my kind that exist or have existed, feeded as omnivorous. The societies formed by the beings of my specie evolved eating and using f...
Map of existential alternatives to the sentient experience
Sentience is the ability to experience sensations, to have subjective experiences. Usually it is assumed that sentience is produced in the being that experiments it. But there are actually more possibilities. A: Who feels? [1..10] B: What do we feel? [1..4] C: How much can one feel? [1..2] D: When does one feel? [1..4] E: Where does the sentient experience occur? [1..4] F: Why does the sentient experience occur? How is the sentient experience possible? What is its nature? [1..8] G: Why doe...

Stuff that repels the attention
We can think that the opposite of catching the attention is being unnoticed, but it is not true. Versión en español Sex and violence catch the attention. The red things catch the attention. The beautiful, dangerous and different things catch the attention. We can think that the opposite of catching the attention is being unnoticed. That is what happens with the common, the grey, the monotonous, the routine, the usual and the normal. But it is not true. The topic does not end here. There ar...
What is real? The importance of point of view
In my opinion, all the scientific knowledge has been built on a false hypothesis. All. This has not proved to be a big problem because in the results obtained do not noted any difference in relation to this hypothesis. Just like what happened with the classical mechanics newtonian opposite the relativistic Einstein. But we are in a different context. Quantum physics tell us about impossible worlds, far away from the daily experience. Movies such as Matrix remind us that we don´t have any r...
Value systems
Value systems respond to the question "What is important?". Depending on the value systems that we prioritize, we will have one answer or another to moral issues. Value systems are those underlying principles that define and ethical considerations, and can not be (and therefore should not be) explained by others. I agree with Brian tomasik that we should seek convergence in value systems. In fact, there are many situations where you can reach the same moral conclusion based on different valu...
How to prioritize the reduction of suffering?
Versión en español What is the arithmetic of suffering? If we could assign a number to the intensity of the subjective experience of every sensation, it seems that the mathematics related to the operations among these values obey to some kind of non lineal arithmetic, where 2+2=5. This article does a research of some non lineal aspects, or at least, weird, of the mathematics of suffering. The reflection is oriented to the determination of the priorities in a project of global reduction...
Duality and Uniqueness
Any sane person establishes a cutting distinction between every object of the Universe: I, and everything else. I am going to call this Duality. On the other hand, the Universe exists, there. And it doesnt care at all what I think. The universe is unique, and I am going to call this Uniqueness. Obviously, theres only one reality. The Uniqueness is true and the duality is fake. Now, duality is what I experience, it is what is real for me. And, what happens if I want to experience uniq...
Subjectivity is neither created nor destroyed, only revealed
We distinguish in the barking of a dog or the meowing of a cat their expressions of happiness and unhappiness, because even if they are different from human expressions, we are able to recognize the similarities. The fact that we do not see any similarity in the expressions of a shrimp or an ant, or even in those cases when the subjective experience is not expressed, this does not mean that the experience does not exist. Translated from spanish by Laura Paglia What is subjectivity? The sud...
What is Real? The subjective and the objective fact
The popular criterion presuppose the existence of the objective and solid fact as the generator of the doubtful subjetive experience. But the process is just the inverse, and their characteristics the opposed. The subjetive experience (I see a tree) provoke us the creation of one hypothesis (There is a tree). The subjetive experience is real, there are no doubt about it. However the objective hypothesis is fruit of a combination of imagination and perception, susceptible of error, and always ...

Yesterday: 4-1 (+$170.00)
Year: 29-18 (+$585.50)
Los Angeles Dodgers (-105)
Pretty interesting Monday matchup here. You have a Dodger team that is really struggling on their currrent roadtrip (currently 1-5), and you have the Giants who are coming off a completely nuts series in Oakland, where all 3 games were physically and mentally draining. You have a pitching match-up featuring a kid who has been nearly flawless in his five starts, yet he sits 0-3 (team 0-5) in Nathan Eovaldi. The Dodgers just don't score for him. Averaging 1.0 runs a ballgame with him on the bump. You have Barry Zito on the other side. June has not been kind to Barry. An ERA over 10, and WHIP over 2. That good start is now a distant memory. Somethings gotta give. At some point the Dodgers are going give Eovaldi some support. I don't see any better time than tonight against Zito, who has just been Godawful lately. If Eovaldi is half as sharp tonight as he has been so far this season I see no reason why the Dodgers can't win a 6-3 type ballgame. I don't even want a sweat here. Dodgers need to handle Zito, grab an early lead, and cruise to the finish.

Dodgers are +100 at 5Dimes, -101 at Heritage and -107 at Bookmaker so not a whole lot different than what he is posting. His line (although not great) is not that bad either

Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
13:4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. 13:5 It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. 13:6 It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. 13:7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13:8 Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside.

Jack Fahey
Jack Fahey has worked in the field of addictive disorders for over 35 years. He began his career as associate producer of many of the films starring Father Martin and Dr. Joseph Pursch, both early pioneers in alcoholism communications and training. His early works include one of the first films on women and substance abuse, "The Secret Life of Sandra Blaine," and he produced some of the earliest television commercials for addiction treatment programs. A long-time friend of NACoA, Jack was the producer and director of more than 25 ground breaking videos including "Children of Denial," the first film dealing with children of alcoholics and solidifying the three dysfunctional family rules, Don't Talk, Don't Trust, Don't Feel; "Family Roles" which helped to disseminate the seminal work about the impact of roles for children; and "Sound of Silence," acknowledging the relationship between physical and sexual abuses and living with addiction. Over the years, he has contributed to multiple additional videos, most of which continue to be seen by thousands of people in treatment programs worldwide. While semi-retired and living in the Pacific Northwest, Jack is still active in the production of videos and works to spread the word about children of addicted parents by arranging foreign rights to publishers in other countries. His contributions to alcoholism and family impact awareness education helped to build the base of understanding about the disease upon which so much has followed. Countless thousands of children of alcoholic parents have benefited from Jack's work, and NACoA says "Thank You."

Resurgent Republic is out with a fascinating survey suggesting the pool of Americans who purchase individual insurance is big and gettable for Republicans:
Among the total U.S. population, 5 percent (or as many as 15 million people) pay for their health insurance individually, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In the lead up to last year's presidential election, 21 percent of likely voters were in the individual market. . . .Three-fourths (77 percent) of those self-insured are either very or somewhat satisfied with their plan. That's not far off from the electorate at large where 84 percent report being very or somewhat satisfied. Therefore, the salient reason why President Obama is on the defensive regarding his "if you like it, you can keep it" pledge is not just because he misled voters. It's because he did so on a topic where solid majorities of voters do indeed like their health plan and thereby assumed the law would not upend their coverage.
The survey also confirms that these same voters are very much concerned about cost, with a large plurality (41 percent) naming it as their top health-care concern.
And, finally, 50 percent of these voters identify as conservative and are middle-class voters with whom the GOP has done well in the past. Resurgent Republic notes, "These voters are middle-aged (nearly two-thirds between the ages of 30 and 64) with middle class incomes (60 percent earn less than $100k a year). They are predominately white (74 percent), married (65 percent), and are more likely to live in suburban (31 percent) instead of urban areas (22 percent)."
All of this confirms our suggestion that championing these voters who have been hurt by Obamacare is smart policy and smart politics. These people liked their insurance, lost it and are being told it was cruddy insurance anyway. If Republicans want to be seen as empathetic and in touch with real voters' concerns, this is a good place to start. Moreover, this issue fits well with other ideas circulating from Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and others that stress relief from high education costs, tax reform with ample child credits and reforming federal labor laws to allow flex time for working parents.
It is rare that an agenda presents itself so clearly. Republicans would be wise to set out an agenda to help ordinary Americans, beginning with protecting them from the president's health-care plan. That, rather than an ideological argument over "government taking over health care" or an abstract fight about debt and deficits, is most likely to aid the Republicans' revival and position them well for 2014. Gosh what a concept — policy that helps really voters.

|International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), South Sudan: fighting in Pibor leaves many wounded and displaced, 6 January 2012, News Release 12/03, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4f0ec9232.html [accessed 19 February 2018]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Intercommunal violence in Pibor County, Jonglei State, has left thousands of people displaced and many wounded. The ICRC is working with the South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC) to help health facilities cope with an influx of casualties.
"Juba Teaching Hospital is treating around 100 casualties, with more expected. We have supplied the hospital with drugs and surgical dressings, while the SSRC has donated mosquito nets, blankets and other items," said Michela Telatin, who heads the ICRC delegation in Juba. Meanwhile, an ICRC surgical team based in Malakal Teaching Hospital has been treating people injured in nearby fighting, including the mid-December clashes in Atar and now the violence in Pibor.
People are slowly returning to Pibor town, but many have fled into the bush and are still there. "It is extremely difficult to reach these people as there are virtually no roads or airstrips. They may well be lacking even the most basic of supplies and services. We urge the authorities to continue their efforts to guarantee security in the area and to help the population affected by the fighting," explained Michela Telatin.
ICRC operations in South Sudan focus on helping the victims of armed violence. One priority in Pibor will be to help reunite families separated by fighting, with the SSRC confirming that there are some 20 children in the town without their families.

Santa Claus Revisited
03/13/2009 - The death last week of Jimmy Boyd has brought renewed attention to his signature hit I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, which John covered for the first volume of the A Very Special Christmas compilations. The set, which came out in 1989, featured a spirited Cajun-flavored take on the classic tune, which Boyd took to the top of the Billboard charts in 1952.
Turns out the song was commissioned by the Neiman Marcus department store chain to promote its annual Christmas card. Boyds hit, which the New York Times said he recorded when he was a skinny, red-headed kid of 12, was banned by the Roman Catholic Church in Boston, its claim being that it mixed sex with Christmas. Boyd was apparently widely photographed meeting with the Archdiocese to explain the song! The ban was subsequently lifted the following Christmas, when the recording again topped the charts. It has since sold over 60 million copies; to commemorate the first three million, Columbia Records gave Boyd, who lov

CMT Reports on A Ride Back Home Video
02/26/2009 - CMT Insider News has a two-minute report on the making of A Ride Back Home, the latest video from Johns Life Death Love and Freedom album.
In it, John discusses the concept behind the album, with guest vocalist Karen Fairchild of country group Little Big Town noting that A Ride Back Home concerns a man contemplating his life.
John explains that he wrote the song while thinking about the human condition and the generally bad nature of humanity. A lighter moment finds him hoping that viewers will get to see more of the beautiful Fairchild: I dont know whod want to see an old guy like me! he jokes.
He also distinguishes the video from his recent political-themed clips in relating that the new one returns to the more traditional John Mellencamp video style--as he told Mellencamp.com last week.

The Tennessean: Little Big Town Vocalist Duets With John Mellencamp
02/23/2009 - Peter Cooper Staff Writer
Bloomington, Ind., isn't much of a destination spot in the winter, except for basketball players looking to beat up on the disappointing 2008-09 version of the state university's Hoosier hoopsters.
Yet Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild found herself up in Bloomington last week, shooting a video with John Mellencamp for a song called "A Ride Back Home."
The song is from John's Life, Death, Love and Freedom album, produced by T-Bone Burnett (who also produced the Grammy-winning Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album), and Karen features prominently as a harmony vocalist on the album. "A Ride Back Home" is a duet, and Mellencamp's peeps are hoping the video will receive airplay on GAC and CMT.
"I would love it if country radio would play that," Karen said. "The song is one of my favorites on the record. John says it's about loneliness. For me, it seems like a song about a man contemplating his life and asking the

Indianapolis Star: IU Students Catch Mellencamp Video Shoot
02/17/2009 - By David Lindquist
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- In a 12-pew church with a small graveyard outside the door, John Mellencamp sang about death this afternoon.
Technically, he didn't sing but mouthed the lyrics to "A Ride Back Home" several times during the making of a music video at Beck Chapel on the campus of Indiana University.
Classes were in session on Presidents Day, allowing students to pause between classes and catch a glimpse of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
"Mr. Mellencamp, can we get a picture," called out one student during a break in the action.
When the singer barked "Take it," he managed to be cantankerous and good-natured in the same breath.
It was a day of minimal agitation for 57-year-old Mellencamp, who worked with camera, lighting and sound specialists -- all veterans of man

Indianapolis WTHR Channel 13: Mellencamp Visits IU For Video Shoot
02/17/2009 - Jeremy Brilliant/Eyewitness News
Bloomington - There was a Hoosier homecoming for John Mellencamp Monday, who spent the day making a music video on the IU campus.
The low-key production took place in the middle of the day at Indiana University, but nothing was closed down, no roads, no classrooms, just a tiny chapel next to the student union. In fact, many students at the university were oblivious to the rock legend standing just a few feet away from them in the heart of campus.
Inside Beck Chapel, Mellencamp and country singer Karen Fairchild lip-synched the words to "A Ride Back Home" from Mellencamp's new album - "Life, Death, Love and Freedom."
"It's always an honor to be asked to be part of this album, so to be a part of the video is even a better deal," Fairchild said. "She sang on like half the album with me in this fashion, so it just made perfect sense."
During concerts, Mellencamp has stopped his song and asked the au

Bloomington Herald Times: Mellencamp Films New Video At Beck Chapel
02/17/2009 - By Mike Leonard
Cozy Beck Chapel has seen thousands of weddings since it was built in 1956.
On Monday, it was the setting for a funeral of sorts the filming of a video for the gospel-tinged song A Ride Back Home from John Mellencamps current album, Life Death Love and Freedom.
But I dont see it as sad, said Elaine Mellencamp, Johns wife and executive producer of the video. Its more of a timeless, positive spiritual message. When I look at this chapel, I think of June Carter and the Carter family up there.
The song clearly embraces a gospel theme, with the singer musing over a hard life that has come to an end and asking forgiveness in the line: Hey Jesus, can you give me a ride back home?
There actually was a conversation about taking it to gospel radio, Mellencamp said as he took a break out

By Gene Rodriguez
Edited by Andrew Bonner
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) - Hoosier rocker John Mellencamp was back in Bloomington Monday. He let 24-Hour News 8 onto the set of his latest music video starring himself and Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild.
"We met on tour and then he invited us to sing on a record and then he invited me to sing a few songs on this record. It's quite an honor," said Fairchild.
Fairchild sang four songs on Mellencamp's newest album. The two met up at Beck Chapel on the IU campus to film their duet, "A Ride Back home."
"With his writing, you are always wondering exactly what he's meaning. There is always deeper meanings, I think, to the surface of the song," said Fairchild.
"Life, Death, Love and Freedom" is the name of Mellencamps most recent album.
"I wrote all the songs for this record in about a 12-day period," said Mellencamp.

BLOOMINGTON, IN (NBC) - Singer John Mellencamp was at Indiana University Monday, making a music video.
Not much had to be closed down: no roads, no classrooms, just a tiny chapel next to the student union.
This was about as low-key as a production can get.

The "Little Pink House" That Wasn't Pink
02/14/2009 - John's "Pink Houses" has inspired an act of kindness by a group of Winnipeg high school students.
According to the United Way of Winnipeg's report of funded projects for its "Youth Connections" programs from 2007 to 2008, a $322 grant was given to Kelvin High School student volunteers who painted a house in the Point Douglas area.
The project, which took four days to paint a one and a-half story house "despite the risk of rain showers," was completed last May. It was named "Little Pink Houses" after the song, although the house itself was not painted pink.
"The students volunteered their time and energy to reach a united goal and demonstrated a significant act of kindness to a local homeowner," stated the report.
"Youth Connections," incidentally, applies to "young people 16-24 who want to make a difference in Wpg." Other funded projects acknowledged include a youth soccer tournament for African youth in Winnipeg, a homework mentor

Apparently not. A recent post on the

ingeniously matches the modified lyrics to the first verse of Jack and Diane to stills of the Welk shows wonderful singer/dancer Mary Lou Metzger, with dance partner Jack Imel. Hence the new title, Jack and Mary Lou, with my apologies to John Mellencamp, according to the poster.
But I bet Im the only one who ever attended sold-out shows of both John Mellencamp

Penn & Teller – Magic of the Bible Video
I think these commentaries on the Bible are sometimes less than academic – but they are also not restricted to unerring faith. There are a few minor distortions – but these folks are correct in what they report.
Here s the problem – the Bible was not intended to be a book of history or a book of science. Measured in the context of exact history or science the Bible is easy to discredit. The following video demonstrates how easy this is.
If the Bible is to have value then it must be seen as an allegory of faith. In that context there is no better text.

Featured KRK User Jason Hook
Jason Hook is a man of many hats. First and foremost, he's the guitarist for Five Finger Death Punch, a metal band he joined in early 2009, who's first offering together, War Is The Answer, debuted as number 7 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. But when Hook isn't on the road with the band, co-headlining music festivals such as the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with Rob Zombie, or launching his own signature M4-Sherman guitar with Gibson, Hook is also a record producer, songwriter, solo artist and home recording studio owner.
Hook's musical career got its kick-start in Oakville, Ontario in the mid- to late 70s when a friend introduced him to what was at the time a new band. "My neighbor came by the house with a few of the band's records and asked me if I wanted them, since he wasn't allowed to keep them at his own home. I remember saying, 'sure, what is it? What's this band KISS?'," he recalls. "I was looking at the cover, thinking 'oh my god – that's crazy!' And it grabbed me immediately. It was extremely exciting.
Plus, I liked the songs -- they were simple, catchy and had a high level of energy. I remember thinking that KISS, which captured people's attention with all the makeup and photos and images, was so much more exciting than playing whatever video game was popular at the time. I was like, 'this is awesome; I want to do this!'"
Hook's private guitar lessons began at just 6 years old, but his formal music training also included drums, piano and violin.
According to Hook, he says from day one, he was a guitar player, wrote his own songs and put his own bands together. In fact, he would multi-track himself with what he describes as a "ghetto blaster" and an external microphone. "I would put the external mic on one side of the speaker and then play into the other mic, and so, I was playing along with a cassette and recording it into a separate cassette. That was crazy," says Hook.
Eventually he moved on to multi-track recorders, such as the Tascam 246 Portastudio 4-track and then on to 8- and 16-track recorders from there. Eventually he dropped $5,000 for a computer, monitor and Pro Tools software.
While Hook's interest in home recording grew, so did his career as a musician. By the time Hook joined Five Finger Death Punch, he had already released a debut hard rock/metal album, Safety Dunce, which received a Best Instrumental Record award at the 2007 L.A. Music Awards, and had recorded a follow-up solo project that is currently awaiting release.
It seems that all of Hook's hard work and life experiences have finally culminated, as Five Finger Death Punch releases its latest recording, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1 and Hook now has a full-fledged recording studio he can literally call "home."
"My home studio is always a work in progress," he jokes. "Basically, I do all of my music in there. It has all of my amps, pedals, guitars, and recording gear, such as my Pro Tools HD rig and my KRK's."
A long time user of KRK gear, Hook started out with a pair of the KRK Rokit studio monitors. "I loved those monitors and used them for years. It wasn't until after I became a Gibson artist that I found out KRK was part of the brand. That's why when I upgraded my home studio, I had to get the newest monitors from KRK."
Hook currently relies on the KRK VXT8 accompanied by a KRK 12sHO large sub for his monitoring needs. The VXT8 features the company's trademark yellow Kevlar woofer, and also has a visually striking enclosure design. Some of its most attractive features include its low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end, slotted ports for reduced port turbulence, and a sleek curvature that provides excellent imaging characteristics and a wider sweet spot. "The VXT8 definitely has a bit more muscle," adds Hook.
The KRK12sHO powered subwoofer is powered by a 400 watt amplifier and offers a strengthened version of the company's signature Kevlar woofer. According to Hook, one of the standout features of the 12sHO is the Bypass Footswitch Control, which allows users to defeat the sub and provide full range audio to their recording monitors for use with a standard latching Ľ-inch mono footswitch.
"This is what I used all through the making of our last record that just came out," says Hook. "I have a pro-level system right here at the house that allows me to work at home at a level that's compatible with a professional studio."

Zoo Med PowerSun UV Mercury Vapor UVB Lamp
|Zoo Med PowerSun UV is a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb with two main components. The first is a standard incandescent filament, which is the first to light. Provides essential UVA, UVB light & heat all in one lamp Self-Ballasted mercury vapor UVB bulb Keeps your reptiles healthy by preventing metabolic bone disease The second is a mercury vapor arc tube, which takes a few minutes to heat up. There will be a noticeable change in hue (or color) when the bulb is completely warm and fully functioning. Because the PowerSun UV is a self- ballasted bulb it can be used in any ceramic socket that is rated to handle the wattage.Zoo Med PowerSun UV has nickel-plated threads to ensure that it will not corrode in humid reptile habitats. This new bulb also incorporates a short neck design, unique among mercury vapor lamps, that allows it to better fit into "clamp lamp" type fixtures. PowerSun UV projects useable UVB radiation a far greater distance (up to 6 feet) than conventional fluorescent tubes.PowerSun UV projects useable UVB radiation a far greater distance (up to 6 feet) than conventional fluorescent tubes. This makes it ideal for large enclosures and reptiles with high UV demands. PowerSun UV has the added benefit of increased intensity (50µW/cm2 UVB!!) and heat. UVB radiation has always been the safest, most effective way to ensure proper levels of vitamin D3 in captive reptiles and the PowerSun UV will continue to emit significant levels of UVB for all of its 10,000-hour average life (over 2 years with normal use.)1-year manufacturer's warranty.Important: Read and follow all directions to maximize lamp life and keep your pets safe.FAQ:Q: Can I use the rheostat/thermostat with a Reptisun, Avian Sun or Power Sun UV?A: These lamps need specific line voltages; they cannot be used with dimmers/rheostats.Q: How can I get the maximum out of a lamp?A: Minimizing handling: lamps that get moved or vibrated burn out quickly. Make sure that the fixture isnt being moved regularly. It is best to use a quality ceramic socket, not a plastic socket. You can check your fixture by unplugging it and looking at the metal tab in the center - where the bulb screws in. This tab can be pulled slightly forward to ensure that it makes a good contact with the bulb.Q: Does this lamp emit UVB?A: Yes! This lamp provides the full visible spectrum as well as UVA and UVB. What is UVB and why does my reptile need it?Q: How often should this lamp be replaced?A: This lamp will provide optimum levels of UVB for 12 months so it should be replaced once a year.Q: How long should I leave this lamp on each day?A: This lamp should be on for 10 - 12 hours a day to maintain your animals day and night cycle.Q: How should the lamp be mounted?A: The PowerSun UV lamp must be mounted in a vertically oriented fixture so the lamp points straight down, not at an angle. Mounting this lamp at an angle will reduce its "burn life" and void any guarantee.Caution:1) These bulbs get EXTREMELY hot and can kill your reptiles if used on enclosures that are too small.2) We do not recommend the use of this bulb with 10 gallon aquariums.3) We strongly recommend the use of a high quality "high range" thermometer when using this light.

Not for use with aquariums.FAQ:Q: Where do I put the Under Tank Heater?A: The Under Tank Heater can be placed underneath the tank or on the side of the tank depending on your set up. The Under Tank Heater should be placed on the outside of the tank only. If you choose to place the heater on the underside of the tank, be sure to elevate the tank slightly using the included "bump-on feet" or another method to prevent heat encapsulation. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully.Q: How much will the Under Tank Heater heat my tank?A: Depending on the mounting, substrate, and other conditions the UTH can bring the temperature up by 2-8 degrees.Q: Can I use the rheostat/thermostat with Reptitherm Under Tank Heater?A: Yes! We recommend using a rheostat or thermostat if your home reaches 80 degrees or warmer.Q: Can I use this heater on my aquatic tank?A: No. This combination can create stress cracks.Q: Can I use Aspen Snake Bedding or shavings with the Under Tank Heater?A: Yes you can but if using very lightweight substrates such as pine shavings or sphagnum moss, you must put a layer of Zoo Med's Eco Carpet down first. This prevents snakes and burrowing reptiles from pushing substrate aside and resting on top of the glass directly above the heater, resulting in possible burns.

|The Zoo Med Repti Fogger has a compact ultrasonic humidifying fogger with adjustable fog output control to help you increase your tank's humidity. The Repti Fogger has a "no spill" valve that is easy to remove and makes refilling a breeze. Compact ultrasonic humidifying fogger Adjustable fog output control Ready to operate The Repti Fogger includes its own one liter bottle and all necessary fittings for quick setup and operation. Ideal for tropical & temperate setups.Warranty: 90 days.FAQ:Q: My Fogger won't turn on and the blue light is not on.A: There is a small white float in the center of the reservoir that is attached to a safety shut off that does not allow the Fogger to come on if there is not enough water in the reservoir. If your blue light will not come on, be sure that there is water in the Fogger. You can squeeze the bottle gently to release water into the reservoir and allow the float to float. If that does not work, take the top off the reservoir and tap the float with your finger to be sure that it isn't stuck.Q: My Fogger is making fog but it won't go through the tube.A: There are two working parts in the Repti Fogger™. The transducer creates fog and there is a small fan which pushes the fog through the tube. If the fan is malfunctioning, the Fogger will still produce fog in the reservoir, but will not be able to push it through the tube. To order a replacement fan, review our Repti Fogger™ Replacement Parts Section. You can also contact our Customer Service for more details.Q: The Repti Fogger won't come on at all. Why isn't it working?A:With this unit, it is important to know that there is a float in the center of the reservoir which controls a safety shut off feature. If the reservoir is not full (because water has not been added or the no-spill valve on the water bottle is stuck) or if the float is stuck to the bottom of the reservoir, the Fogger will not come on at all. Make sure there is water in the reservoir and that the round, white float in the center is not stuck to the bottom.Q: The blue light is flashing and the Fogger keeps turning on and off. What should I do?A:If the blue light is flashing and the Fogger is turning on and off, the water level is probably right on the verge of being too low. Users should check to be sure that there is water in the bottle and that the valve isn't stuck. Usually a gentle squeeze on the bottle will take care of this problem.

Allen having space issues
He works around defenders' tactics
ATLANTA - There may not have been a better game to encapsulate Ray Allen's fifth season with the Celtics than Monday night's at Philips Arena in Atlanta.
In the first half, Allen attempted two shots, making one, for 2 points in 17 minutes. In the second half, he attempted seven shots, made four (all 3-pointers), and tallied 17 points as the Celtics held on for a 79-76 win.
Allen has faced some strong defense, with opponents motivated to stop his early contributions, chasing him around screens and forcing him into being a playmaker.
Eventually, the defenders wear down and the finely conditioned Allen gets open, as he did against the Hawks. The question is not whether he will get open, but whether he will he get the ball when he does. In that regard, it has been a difficult season for Allen.
Shot attempts have been at a premium because by the time Allen finds space, Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett are into an offensive rhythm and Allen is no longer an emphasis. It is only when the Celtics are behind and need 3-pointers that he becomes a priority again.
He was a priority Monday night because the Celtics trailed by 8, Pierce was anchored with foul trouble, and Garnett was struggling with his shot.
Allen fully understands the situation. He would like to be a bigger part of the offense, but opponents realize the Celtics are more dangerous and front-running when he delivers early offense.
When Allen is launching 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, the Celtics are usually trailing.
"It's very unusual, and sometimes it can get frustrating,'' Allen said. "I understand how they're guarding me. If Paul has it going, Kevin has it going, I'm just biding with the game and flowing into how the course of it's going to change.
"It's definitely different from how it's been for me over the course of my time here, but again you've got to stick with it and figure out where your pockets come from. Because in this game, you can score so quickly, especially with what we have on the team, so it's just biding your time and keeping your head in the game other ways.''
Coach Doc Rivers concedes that Allen isn't going to get his usual allotment of shot attempts because beginning in February, after he drained 54.9 percent of his 3-pointers in January, opposing teams began blanketing him.
Allen's 3-point percentage dipped to 40.6 percent in February, and that has increased only slightly this month.
But then there are plays such as the one at end of the third quarter Monday when, with 1.2 seconds left on the clock, he catches and releases an inbounds pass from Rajon Rondo and cans a 3-pointer.
He remains one of the game's most feared shooters, but his role has changed because of Rondo's increased offense and the younger and more aggressive defenders assigned to him.
"I've scored a lot of points and still had great difficulties with losing a lot of games,'' he said. "But just trying to find my way and find how I can help this team get better, it has been difficult.''
Allen's contributions are treasured in the locker room. His teammates say the Celtics are a better team when Allen establishes himself early. And they have seen him save the team late on many occasions.
"Ray's hit threes in several people's eyes,'' said forward Brandon Bass. "He doesn't holler. He's just a silent assassin. When Ray's rolling, we're rolling.
"Me and KG, we're going to pretty much play solid every night, but people focus on Ray so much, they try to take him out of the game. But when he's involved in the game, we're rolling, man, because that opens everything else up. Easier shots for me, [Garnett], more space for Paul.
"When Ray's rolling, we're pretty much rolling.''
Help on the way?
The Celtics should find out Wednesday if they gain the services of Ronny Turiaf, a free agent forward/center who was waived Sunday by the Nuggets after they acquired him from the Wizards. The Celtics are also expected to show interest in former UCLA center Ryan Hollins, who was waived by the Cavaliers. He has been a starter at times in his career. To create roster space, the club would have to waive Chris Wilcox or Jermaine O'Neal or a player on the active roster. The primary candidates are Marquis Daniels and Sasha Pavlovic.
