We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years. The Farmhouse is a new favorite of ours. The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were fantastic, and the food and service were both amazing. The minute my husband and I stepped out of our car, we felt an immediate sense of peace and tranquility. The view of the vineyards and the mountains were amazing, and the outside dining was a perfect way to both start and end our day. We can't wait to stay at The Farmhouse again!

We've stayed here for our third time in as many years and it continues to get better! My most simply description of "The Farmhouse" is rural setting with linen service. The Hodson family, the owners/developers of Veritas, welcome you to share their family affair with the grapes, livestock, mountains and fine dinning. The "thing" that puts "The Farmhouse" in an outstanding class is their refined attention to detail and catering to ones needs. If you've not stayed here, you should do it.

This was our first stay at The Farmhouse at Veritas, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The grounds are beautiful, and the house is equipped with all modern comforts yet classic and historic in the decor. The staff was attentive and gracious in every way, and we look forward to returning.

I really don't know what to say that hasn't already been said... Simply put it is only 100 yards from the main drive into the winery, but that 100 yards transports you to a totally stress free, relaxed and friendly escape from reality. Chloe and the rest of the staff, work tirelessly behind the scenes to make it virtually impossible to have anything but a wonderful and memorable experience. The wine is arguably the best in Virginia and food at The Farmhouse is incredable. The rooms are comfortable and make you forget that you will eventually will have to leave, even though you will not want to. I've stayed there twice, and am already planning when I will return. Best of the best!

WOW....a perfect stay from start to finish! What an incredible experience from Jose and Leticia's warm and genuine welcome to the fond farewell! We went to the Veritas Winery four years ago and absolutely loved it. We were so happy to learn they had opened an Inn and we would be able to enjoy their lovely vista for a breakfast and dinner! The rooms are beautifully and thoughtfully appointed, including a wonderful welcome bottle of Chardonnay and a festive "wine" hour with the other guests. We are so glad we decided to take advantage of Chef Andy's Farmhouse dinner paired with wines from the vineyard. It was delightful and we loved getting to know the other guests who were mostly from Virginia. The property is nicely situated about 20-30 minutes from Charlottesville and an easy ride to other great vineyards and historical attractions. We stayed at 6 inns during our Virginia getaway and, by far, this was our favorite. You can't go wrong.....we will be back, for sure!!!! Wendy and Tom Florida

From the moment we walked in the home the smell of fresh baked cookies filled the air. Greeted by a friendly staff, we were provided a tour of the home which is decorated very tastefully. I felt like royalty as I walked the halls and then saw our room AMAZING! A bottle of the signature wine awaited us in the room and the weather was perfect. It was only a short stroll past the vineyards to the winery where we taste tested and purchased some more local wine. The food was amazing and I felt It was more artwork than something to eat. I wanted to frame it of display it on a pedestal as it was so appealing to the eye but more so, tasted fantastic! I highly recommend a visit to The Farmhouse at Veritas, I know I will be back!

First, it is on the BEST winery in VA, which is not an easy accomplishment. Second, the staff (from Chloe to Leticia) are gifted and focused on making your personal experience the best it can be. Third, the FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. Period. Breakfast and Dinner are always a pleasant adventure. Fourth, each room is unique and elegant while making you feel like you are the only guest at the Farmhouse. The overall experience is classic, understated, rich and very, very personal. We have stayed three times and each time the Farmhouse has deepened the offerings while maintaining the "British Family" atmosphere that makes it our very favorite home away from home. We'll be back every year, FOREVER!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of staying at the Farmhouse at Veritas on three occasions. On each of our 2 night visits, we have been so impressed by the warm and friendly staff and family who take care of the guests. Relaxing while surrounded by mountains and a thriving winery just adds to the appeal. Additionally, we've met some delightful guests. We look forward to our next visit.

As recent transplants from California, we wanted to explore Virginia wineries and picked the Farmhouse at Veritas for our overnight stay. What a marvelous introduction to Virginia wine country and hospitality. The Farmhouse and Veritas Winery were an impeccable experience. We have experienced some of the finest B&B's California has to offer and the Farmhouse rates right up there with them. Both room and service were wonderful. And even more, the meals - dinner and breakfast - were outstanding, prepared on site from locally acquired meats and produce and of course accompanied with the very excellent Veritas wines. We are already talking about a return trip!

My wife and I stayed just one but definitely will return. We arrived with 6 inches of new snow in a beautiful setting among the vineyards. We relaxed from the long trip in a spacious, very comfortable bedroom. Breakfast was amazing, two gourmet choices, prepared by the chef de cuisine! Chloe, the owner, was delightful and talked to us about growing up at Veritas. Our only disappointment was they do not serve dinner on weekdays in the winter.

VIA Telecom to Join Open Handset Alliance
The San Diego based VIA Telecom, owned by the Taiwaneese VIA Concern, is to become a member of the Open Handset Alliance, the consortium around the mobile operating system Android.
Whereas the Taiwaneese chip manufacturer VIA is known mainly for its x86 compatible processors, the American subsidary produces chips for the CDMA 3G communication and since 2003 builds complete cell phones.
VIA Telecom was created in 2002 with the takeover of the CDMA section of LSI Logistics by VIA Technologies. Since then, the company has set up branches in Peking, Hangzhou and Taiwan. CDMA is a competing standard for GSM cell mobile networks, in North America the de facto standard, but is also used in Africa and parts of Asia. CDMA itself springs from Qualcomm and is subject to numerous patents.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
First Drive Review: 2010 Toyota Prius
This 2010 review is representative of model years 2010 to 2014.
By Dennis Simanaitis of Road & Track
Yountville, California — With hybrids getting closer to mainstream, they're just going to embarrass what we once considered conventional cars. The third-generation Toyota Prius is an excellent case in point. It's a tad longer (0.6-in. overall) than the car it replaces. Its dohc 16-valve engine is larger (1.8 liters versus the previous 1.5). Its gasoline-electric hybrid combination is more powerful (a blended 134 bhp versus the second generation's 110). The car is even a skosh heavier (by perhaps 110 lb.). Yet its EPA fuel economy jumps to 51 mpg highway/48 mpg city/50 mpg combined versus the previous generation's 48 city/45 highway/47 combined.
Is this magic?
No, just extremely thoughtful engineering.
The paradox of engine size is easiest to resolve. The 1.8 has more torque and operates generally at lower rpm — and revs aren't free.
Other engine enhancements include an elimination of accessory drive belts. (The air conditioning compressor and water pump are both electrical.) Exhaust heat is routed to heat engine coolant, thus cutting warmup time and prompting quicker hybrid interaction.
Improvements to the car's Hybrid Synergy Drive are also in evidence. Both electric motors (the one, primarily a generator; the other, for Prius propulsion) are more compact. Altogether, the power control unit/inverter, motors and transaxle are 20 percent lighter than those of the second generation. The car's nickel/metal-hydride battery pack has increased output yet is more compact. (Hybrid factoids: Replacement of previous-generation Prius batteries — some, in taxis with more than 300,000 miles — has been all but insignificant. Crash damage and aftermarket modifier sales predominate. Toyota offers a $200 bounty on packs.)
Aerodynamic improvements are summed up in a 0.25 drag coefficient, down from an already impressive 0.26. Subtleties abound: The razor edges of front and rear fascias, for instance, help control airflow; they're not simply styling aspects. Particular attention is paid to underbody flow, even to two smallish fins, located between the rear wheels, that enhance directional stability and reduce drag.
Aero optimization being what it is, the profile of this new car is clearly Prius-iconic. The high point of its roof has moved slightly aft, this benefiting both aero as well as rear-seat head room.
From my point of view, there are major improvements within the cabin. I sit lower than in the previous car, less like perching on my Aunt Minnie's sofa. This and the newly telescopic steering wheel give me a perfectly comfortable driving position. What's more, rear-seat accommodations let me "sit behind myself," albeit just brushing the headliner.
The instrument panel is completely new, characterized by a flying-buttress center console beneath which lurks open storage. Along its top edge is the car's Multi-information Display toggling among energy monitor, hybrid system indicator, trip info, caution warnings and fuel consumption readouts, past or current (the latter, in either 1- or 5-minute intervals, and immensely more useful than any bouncing instantaneous data). Now with dedicated real estate, hitherto this display shared the screen with (and thus required) the optional nav system.
Nearby are control toggles for EV, ECO and PWR modes. This last one gives sharper throttle response. ECO mode (by the way, not used in EPA evaluations) flattens out throttle response, modifies a/c operation and could also be helpful on ice or snow. Provided accelerator pressure is moderate and speed doesn't exceed 25 mph, EV commits to pure electric operation for perhaps 1/2 mile (depending on the battery's state of charge).
In fact, on vineyard lanes I experienced EV episodes of almost a mile in length before the car defaulted to gasoline engine support. And in a 34-mile jaunt down to Napa, around its neighborhoods and back, I saw 69.8 mpg with only a bit of finesse: I used EV mode through school zones (where there's a 25-mph limit anyway) and invoked a lot of gasoline-engine shutdown along 35-mph stretches of wine country. And, in full disclosure, other more hypermiling colleagues got 75 mpg along the same route. (I passed a pair of them.)
Available upgrades include 17-in. alloy wheels with higher-performance (though less mpg-efficient) tires, voice-actuated DVD nav, a sunroof (hurrah!) with solar-powered ventilation system, Dynamic Radar cruise control, Lane Keep Assist and even Intelligent Parking Assist. Cars arrive in late spring, at prices yet to be determined. I'm guessing the new machinery will warrant a slight increase from the current $22,000-$24,270.

HoopsHype Larry Drew II rumors
The Miami Heat have begun stocking their NBA Development affiliate, with Heat camp cuts Jarvis Varnado, Justin Hamilton and Larry Drew II among those invited Thursday to the Sioux Falls Skyforce's training camp. Also on the Skyforce camp roster are Anthony Mason Jr. and former NBA forward Bill Walker. Also invited to camp was Jeffrey Remmington, a former Florida Atlantic guard who advanced out of an open tryout staged last month by the Heat. South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Ethan J. Skolnick: Larry Drew II officially joins Heat for training camp, with shot to convince team to keep a 3rd PG. Miami has monitored him for a while. Twitter @EthanJSkolnick
Ira Winderman: Larry Drew II wasn't healthy enough to participate in summer league, but the point guard out of UCLA will go to camp with the Heat. Twitter @IraHeatBeat
Miami has recently expressed interest in a number of free agents including Von Wafer, Julyan Stone, Vander Blue, Yakhouba Diawara, Larry Drew II, Je'Kel Foster and Justin Holiday among others, according to sources close to the situation. All of these players recently worked out for the HEAT. Miami may bring in several other free agents for additional workouts in the coming days. HoopsWorld
The Sun Sentinel confirmed Monday through league sources that among those who will work out in coming days for the Heat are free-agent guard Julyan Stone, who played last season for the Denver Nuggets; Vander Blue, a guard out of Marquette who went undrafted this past June; swingman Yakhouba Diawara, a journeyman forward out of France who spent the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons with the Heat; and point guard Larry Drew II, who went undrafted out of UCLA and was sidelined by injury after being scheduled to play for the Heat in summer league. South Florida Sun-Sentinel
There was some website chatter that Bucks forward John Henson and Larry Drew II, the son of Bucks coach Larry Drew, didn't exactly see eye to eye after Drew bolted North Carolina for UCLA. Henson denied there's ever been any rift between them. "Coach Drew's son is a great dude," Henson said. "Larry is a good player; he's working out for the draft now. I try to keep up with him because he played with us (at North Carolina). "It (the transfer to UCLA) was best for him and his family. That's how it is. He obviously played great last season at UCLA, so he made the right decision. I hope the best for him. He's a friend of mine." Racine Journal-Times
Additionally, ASM has signed Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas, Florida forward Erik Murphy, Temple guard Khalif Wyatt, Louisville guard Peyton Siva, Miami guard Durand Scott, UCLA guard Larry Drew II, Minnesota forward Trevor Mbakwe, and Kansas guards Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford. Miller, Stephen Pina, Andrew Vye, Justin Zanik, Steve Banks and J.R. Hensley will represent the players. Sports Business Daily

I just have a few questions..
AF should have started on april 30th, and I usually have PMS (out of this world) a week before AF shows, and DH is always there to take the fall Well, I don't have any symptoms of AF showing anytime soon and, as weird as it sounds, I try to feel some kind of AF symptom.. Don't get me wrong, I don't want anything more than to be pregnant right now! But we have been TTC for about 18 months, and I just can't face another BFN.
A little background info.. My husband just did a fertility test a month ago and we haven't heard from them yet. We joked that it was finally going to work after he got tested I went to a GYN two years ago, since two of my sisters have been diagnosed with PCO, and he said that everything was perfect. I plan to go back very soon, but I just wanted to ask you first and see if anyone has had it like this..
So I'm 3 days late, no signs of AF showing, no pregnancy symptoms. Did any of you have that when you got pregnant? and when should I test on a HPT?

Jeepers... why is necessary to hit the Verizon.com landing page, login there, and then proceed to log in at least four more times to get to this page?????
This has been a problem for years. What is your solution?
Thanks, Photoflash
I agree... why so many different places to log in on Verizon? I have one account, why should I have to recreate logins and paswords.
The website is just like when you call Verizon and they just send you to another department and you have to give them the info all over again. Then after they look at your account, they send you to another department who ask for your info again, and then repeat and repeat, and back at the beginning department, with still no help.
I have never had to login 4 times to get to this page. However in the beginning, I was unable to get into this page period so I was on the phone and did a shared session on line with customer service which took so long but the resolution was to create an email subaccount and once I did that, that solved it. I think the rep who was trying to help me was trying to get the issue resolved so I wouldn't need a subaccount but I didn't have any more time to spend on this and even after I told them that the issue was resolved, I kept getting calls on my landline over and over again asking me to call back about this problem. So I kept calling back over and over again asking them to stop because the problem was resolved until I finally spoke to someone who explained that this was a ticket that was left open and that someone failed to close the ticket. One department never knows what the other department is doing.
As for calling 1-800-VERIZON I agree that it's a pain and I don't appreciate it either when I have to start again with identifying myself and repeat the same problem over and over again while being put on hold and still getting no answer, while wasting so much time, going in circles for no reason.
Although I don't have to enter my id and password again to get to the boards, I do have to click the signin button. Obviously should be more automatic.
I do the same thing, clicking on the sign in button but I was only able to do that after creating a subaccount. I don't even want to go back and forth anymore with Verizon's customer service over the subaccount because as long as it works, I don't really care. The person who was working with me really was doing everything she could and was trying so sometimes I don't mind if something takes a little longer to resolve but as soon as this person proposed creating a subaccount and that worked, I was finished.
I agree with questioning that "as long as it works, I don't really care."I am two different people, one for the Verizon website (pay bill, tv listings, etc.)and another for the forums. I think this happened because I was a Verizon customer before Ibecame a FiOS customer. I keep a little note taped to the wall about which person I am where. If I've been on one page, I can't go to the other without signingout and then signing back in as the other person. If I try to sign on to one without first signing out of the other, terrible things happen! It's not too difficult on the forum pages, but on the Verizon page, I, too, have to go through about four menus each time to sign in.I know better than to try to get Verizon to straighten out my two identities, because at least I'mable to sign in eventually as it is. And I don't want to do anything to jeopardize payingmy bill. It finally worked last month, and I'm superstitious about messing with it. Don't get me started onbill pay! I've drafted a very long and boring message about that, mostly just to vent, but I didn't post it. I'm saving it in case bill pay stops working for me again.My motto is: "Pick your battles." The ridiculous Verizon webpage is obviously something thatVerizon knows about and I have to assume that it will be fixed one day.
I don't ever have to log in repeatedly. Are you sure that it's not an issue perhaps with your cookies or your broswer not being up to date? Do you delete temp fles and cookies on your broswer periodically?
All I do is click the signin button to come here.
Why is the My Verizon website so poorly designed? I have never seen such a difficult site to use, its not just me, I know of many others that say the same. I would like to go to the site and check my mail and TV listing without having to log in 4 or 5 times, just to get the site can't open message, then to have to start again just to get to what I want. Maybe you are not Mac friendly? I am amazed that Verizon being a very large company has such a poorly designed site. Please use some of the money I pay you every month to invest in making a quality website. I have made this complaint in the suggestion thing many times for a a year to two. I wonder if anyone even looks at it.
I know I do.
1. I want to check my e-mail without logging in several times.
2. I would like to go to Fios TV listing without logging in several times.
3. I would like to get to my favorite TV stations without the site telling me I don't have any.
4. I don't even try to look further on your site.
How many of my fellow Verizon users want a new user friendly site?
Also get rid of the pop up ads...

Shelly's Apricot Glazed Chicken
Comment on this recipe
4 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth, plus more if sauce needs thinning
4 heaping tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 pats unsalted sweet cream butter
1/2 teaspoon Thai garlic chili pepper sauce, or more to taste (optional)
Rice pilaf, such as Near Eas pilaf with almonds
Pound each chicken breast between plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch thick. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil on high in a large skillet. Lightly brown chicken in hot oil 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion to pan and sauté until onion has softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan; stirring up all brown bits from pan bottom. Add apricot preserves and vinegar; stir in and let sauce reduce and thicken 3-4 minutes. Check seasoning to see if it needs any more salt; add more if needed. (Stir in Thai chili pepper sauce here if using.) Add chicken breasts and their juices; back to pan turning to coat. Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes for chicken to completely cook through. Remove from heat. Stir butter into glaze until melted and incorporated; spoon over chicken. Serve chicken breasts and sauce over a rice pilaf. Serves 4.

China's Pain Is Not Australia's Gain
Fani is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Double-digit growth rates for the world's second largest economy are, more or less, over. During the second quarter, China's economy expanded 7.5% over a year earlier. Most countries would kill for a performance like that. But, for a global economic powerhouse like China that delivered real annual GDP growth of nearly 10% through 2012, it's a bitter pill to swallow.
So, what went wrong? And more importantly, what's the upshot for Australia, one of the Asian giant's closest trade partners?
China's success story
China's emergence as an economic superpower was mainly driven by large-scale capital investments (financed by mountainous domestic savings and foreign direct investments), cheap labor force coupled with an undervalued currency that skyrocketed its exports, and blistering productivity growth – the result of deep economic reforms and a genuine ability to soak up foreign technology and know-how.
Even the 2008 fiasco that wreaked havoc on major economies around the globe didn't quench the Red Dragon's flames. Its crucial export sector hit a wall as global demand crumbled and many Chinese workers were left high and dry, but after a massive $586 billion stimulus package and a looser monetary policy, China returned to double-digit growth rates in 2010.
What went wrong?
Yet, the country's economic model hid a multitude of sins. China's investment-obsessed, credit-fueled system on top of its incomplete transition to a market economy, gave government-favored corporations the upper hand. Subsidized state-owned enterprises gobbled up credit while carrying on strategies that served government interests and often made light of returns on investment.
Moreover, despite the whopping growth rates, disposable income relative to GDP tailed off and so did private consumption. Inadequate social safety nets forced households to save more and spend less. Meanwhile, rock-bottom interest rates kept returns on banking deposits low. Not to mention, accelerating average real wages and an alarmingly aging population erode its biggest competitive advantage, its cheap labor.
More importantly, since 2009, out-of-control credit growth has been fueling inflation and asset bubbles, driving China's leaders to put a lid on several forms of traditional borrowing, including bank-issued mortgages. Shadow banks – unconventional nonbank lenders subject to limited oversight – jumped at the chance and offered loans to small and medium-sized companies that are cold-shouldered by large state-run banks. And, often, these loans are packaged and sold to investors looking to make a killing.
Recently, interbank and money market rates reached nosebleed highs as Chinese leaders decided to take a hard line with speculators and keep tabs on behind-the-curtain lending. But the government's attempts blew up in its face. Banks remained reluctant to lend to each other and fears of a cash squeeze put a dark cloud over the economy.
The side effects
China's thorny shift toward a more balanced economy that's less dependent on fixed investments on top of last month's soft trade data have left its trading partners sort of up the creek. Australia is sitting on pins and needles as it is China's No 1 source of iron ore and coal.
So far this year, iShares MSCI Australia Index (NYSEMKT: EWA), which provides broad exposure to Australian equities, has been going down quite a rocky road. Over the past decade, China's immense infrastructure spending propelled this fund's mining holdings to record highs. But, choppy economic data from China, sinking commodities prices and sluggish demand have taken a toll on Australian stocks. Looking ahead, heavy capital spending is no longer an option for China and mining companies, as well as the Australian economy, need to roll with the punches. China's trade surplus took a 14% nosedive in June compared to last year while its iron ore imports dropped to 62.30 million tons – the lowest in four months.
Yet, during the fiscal year through June 2013, BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) , a world-class mining company, ramped up its iron ore output by 7%. Not just that, but also it's really keen on expanding its operations in its Jimblebar mine and in this way swell its annual iron ore production capacity to a record 220 million tons. Does BHP know something that we don't? Apparently, the bellwether miner is doing its best to keep a firm grip on the market and maximize economies of scale while smaller industry players are about to bite the dust.
What about the Aussie dollar?
On the Forex front, things are not looking that good for the Australian dollar. Earlier this year, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) chopped the benchmark cash-rate target to an all-time low of 2.75% as continuing pressure from a strong currency weighed on the nation's manufacturers and exporters. Meanwhile, "tapering," the latest buzzword, pushed the USD higher against the Aussie dollar. But, more importantly, given the trade ties between China and Australia, the Australian currency is highly sensitive to China's economic performance. Thus, it's no wonder it hit the skids this year.
On the plus side, Australia's export sector, including BHP, could eventually benefit from a weakening currency. EWA is also well-positioned to cash in on this trend as the mining giant is one of its major components. On the other hand, placing a bet on CurrencyShares AUD Trust (NYSEMKT:FXA), which tracks the price of the Australian dollar, is probably not the wisest thing to do, at least, for now.
At a July 2 meeting, the RBA eased fears of an additional cut, which would make the currency less attractive to investors. Nevertheless, it all depends on how the domestic economy performs. Traders are pricing in an around 60% chance for another interest rate cut next month, when the board meets again. And if, going forward, China's performance does not meet expectations, FXA could go downhill.
Looking ahead
Barclays Capital says that China's quarterly growth could drop to 3% at some point over the next few years. So, the million dollar question is whether China's freshly established government will be tempted enough to boost the economy using stimulus packages. Given the fact that credit expansion has gotten out of hand and inflationary pressures fueling asset bubbles is the last thing China needs right now, this scenario is highly unlikely.
The Asian giant has too much on its plate right now trying to move away from fixed investments and focus more on consumer demand. This might translate into slack GDP rates over the medium term. But, over the long run, a more balanced Chinese economy will get us all out of harm's way. The rest of the world, and particularly Australia, will have to come to terms with a less dynamic but more stable Chinese economy.

Vox Tony Bruno TB35C1 35W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo AmpIn collaboration with legendary American boutique amp designer Tony Bruno, VOX has taken a trip into new tonal territory with the TB35C1 guitar combo amp, featuring an all-tube, Tony Bruno design. The VOX/Tony Bruno amp storyAfter establishing a strong working relationship with Tony Bruno, VOX decided it was time to embark on a full collaboration and allow Tony to design a circuit that they would put into production – a first for both VOX R&D and for Tony Bruno. So, combining Tony's expertise with both vintage and boutique amplifiers and VOX's resources and development team, they set sail on the seas of tone into unchartered waters.First, Tony personally built and hand-wired a prototype that met his uncompromising standards. This amp would be used as a benchmark that would be continually referenced throughout the project. After the initial evaluation, VOX R&D made a replica of the unit using a PCB design instead of Tony's usual hand-wired method. Tony was then unleashed onto the new sample which allowed him to modify and add new features to suit his taste. After many rigorous voicing sessions with Tony, it was agreed that the teams had something that not only shared the same excellent tonal quality of the original unit, but also included features that would otherwise be impossible to create without the use of VOX R&D's modern development and production resources. These TB35C1 amplifier is the result of this uncompromising collaboration between VOX R&D and Tony Bruno.The VOX amp for the player with "Stateside" tastesDespite their British VOX pedigree, the TB35C1 amplifier has a decidedly American feel, thanks to Tony's influence and design. The all-tube chassis features a quartet of 6V6 power tubes, known for their smooth and clean high end, creamy mids, big bass, and for their rich breakup when overdriven. The preamp stage is driven by three 12AX7 preamp tubes, plus an additional 12AX7 paired with a 12AT7 tube to drive the reverb unit. Together, they create a distinctive sound familiar to fans of American blues and country music. The single-channel preamp offers both High and Low level inputs, as well as Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. External speaker jacks and extension cabinet jacks are standard equipment as well. The TB35C1 combo is equipped with a 12" Celestion G12-65 loudspeaker, mounted into a rugged birch-ply cabinet.User-friendly featuresTony's design for the TB35C1 combo included a number of unique features designed to maximize every tone-tweakers satisfaction, in any playing situation.Macho switch:The Macho switch provides a boost to the mids and overall gain. This all new, specially-voiced Bruno mod is ideal for players who want to keep their amp tone pure and organic while allowing their leads and solos to truly soar, without requiring any additional pedals! Footswitchable during performance, players can also leave the Macho switch permanently activated to dramatically change the sound of the amp, and to allow players to take their search for tone even further.Bass Boost:The Bass Boost does exactly that; it boosts the bass! Turning the Bass Boost on enhances the warm and round low-end tones coming from the instrument. This setting is ideal for a rich, full sound.Master Volume bypass:The addition of a Master Volume control allows the VOX TB35C1 amp to achieve a full-on sound at different listening levels. For the purist, the Master Volume bypass switch removes the Master Volume from the circuit path, delivering a direct and pure high-gain tone, and allowing the amp to run flat-out for those who want to make the walls shake!Tube ReverbPlayers who crave the unmistakable sound of a 1960's spring reverb unit will not be disappointed. The TB35C1 is equipped with a tube-driven reverb with a premium spring reverb tank. This all-tube design is defined by a custom-built transformer and a high quality spring reverb tank, able to go from a subtle shimmer to long "Surf-style" decay—and all points in between—while always maintaining the amplifier's winning tube tone. About Tony Bruno:Tony Bruno is a highly respected and sought after boutique amp designer from the USA. Throughout his esteemed career, Tony has hand-built over 1000 amplifiers, some of which are regarded as among the finest sounding amplifiers in the world. And Tony Bruno is no stranger to VOX. A Long-time friend of VOX R&D, Tony's unparalleled knowledge of boutique amplifier design has been called upon many times by VOX, on projects including the 1990s era 6-input Hand-Wired AC30, the VOX Night Train, and the Custom Series amplifiers.

Elephant Hunting Zimbabwe - Elephant Hunting
Elephant hunting in Zimbabwe is an awesome and exciting big five hunt. Tusk-less or trophy, Sentinel shares numerous large free ranging elephant herds with Botswana and South Africa. Elephants can be found on Sentinel all year, but become more numerous during the dryers winter months from July through October. On Sentinel you can experience elephant trophy hunting for big bodied bulls with daily rates that are among the lowest in Africa. Our reasoning is that while you will have a fantastic elephant hunt, the potential for big ivory is not as good as other areas. While it's possible to take a 50 pounder, your expectations should be lower, more in the 30-40 pound range. We get one or two on quota each year. One permit remains for 2014, and two for 2015. Contact: email@example.com (404) 457-6581
A tuskless cow elephant hunt is a great way to experience elephant hunting at an even more reasonable rate, and much lower trophy fee. All the elephant hunt excitement with out the associated big costs. You are welcome to hunt plains game on any elephant hunt, and other species such as buffalo or leopard can be added as well.
The US does not require a CITES import permit for elephants harvested in Zimbabwe. However, Zimbabwe charges a $100 for a CITES export permit

Fly fishing
Anyone on the forum do much fly fishing. Thinking of getting into it. Figured it's something I could do and my wife could go along with. She is completely not into hunting and looking for something to do with her.
It's something that my grandfather used to do, and something that I've always wanted to do, but haven't. Maybe one of these days.
If you're not leaning, no one can let you down.
Been doing alittle fly fishing for the last seven years. Great way to spend afew hours. I do all mine at the fishing club that I work for so I'm pretty much always catch something.
Best advice I can give you is take a lesson or two if you can find someone in your area that offers that, or if you have friends that flyfish get them to help you get started.
Good advice on the lessons!! NDSU in Fargo offered some evening lessons that helped a ton to not only learn the techniques but also helped out a lot with outfitting a beginner like myself!! Good Luck!!
Trying to get started in it.I have a Sage rod and all the goodies on order from Cabelas.
Been fly fishing for a few years ,best suggestion is have someone give you the basics on using the fly rod , it does take practice ,
I have a target on the grass , which I use to practice with the fly rod , I make sure I hit my target or atleast get close to the target ,
good luck
Forced to Work
Born to Fish
Chad this is a VERY expensive sport, but well worth the money once you have the hang of it.
I would suggest purchasing a fairly cheap rod and reel combo first, just to see if you will enjoy it. Find an open spot in a park or something with low grass. Set out a couple of large rings, (I use a few hula hoops), at different distances. Tie a small white piece of foam or white yarn at the end of your line.
Now... this may seem strange... but just trust me on this one. Wear a long sleeve shirt. Take your sleeve and pull it up around the end of the rod behind the reel. It will keep your wrist straight. Feels really wierd at first, but it works like a charm.
NEVER take the rod up past your ear... and NEVER let rod go down past the top of your belly. Say... 11:30 and 9:15 on a clock. ALWAYS go down a little faster than you went up... and you'll be casting like a champ.
Now... Some will say that you need to be able to cast 40 yards of line. HORSE &#!T! Three maybe 4 good pulls should be more than enough to get the job done and still allow you to control the line.
Once you have your casting down, then you want to work on something called Mending. Mending involves flicking the line from the wrist. It's just a simple roll really. Mending keeps the line down stream in line with rod, and you can set the hook much easier.
If you've done spincasting your whole life, you are in for a treat! A hit on a fly rod is MUCH different than a hit on a spincast or baitfish rod. You feel like a 10 ton truck is on the other end. Every time I go out with the fly rod now I have to prepare myself for the strike. It shocks me! What a blast though when you land the first one on a fly rod.
Be prepared to change flies often. Like hunting, you will want to scout. Check the surface for what bugs are present, then try to match them as closely as possible. Sometimes what worked one strike will no longer work the entire day. It's amazing. A week before I go out I am on the water watching for surface activity and noting the time and the water conditions. I ALWAYS stop into a local flyshop and jackjaw a while. Since I tie my own, I can usually buy one or two of the suggested flies and make about 6 of each when I get back home.
BOOTS: Get boots with FELT on the bottom. The rubber soled boots hit moss and slide like crazy. Nothing worse than falling in. It sucks.
Waders: Make sure they are light and airy. The Neoprene waders will KICK YOUR BUTT. You'll be wiped out in an hour. Remember that Fly-fishing is a labor intensive sport. You will constantly be on the move by either changing spots, changing flies, casting... Lightweight waders are a must!
About a month ago my father-in-law and I FINALLY hit the much fabled Caddis hatch here in Colorado on the Arkansas River just east of Pueblo Colorado. AMAZING!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I had to stop after 6 hours of non-stop flyfishing. I was completely worn out! They say about 20% of the flyfishermen and women in Colorado catch the hatch. What an experience!!
Last edited by Colorado Rick; 06-10-2009 at 09:38 AM.
On top of Rick's sound advice, I'd look at a heavier rod instead of one of the lite weight ones. A heavier rod is easier to learn with.
Got any ponds around ya? If so, get some top water cork popping bugs and have a blast! Pan fish and bass flat love 'em and can provide hours of fun. You'll get your casting down pat and relearn how to set the hook, all at one fail swoop.
WallyWorld, BassPro, Cabelas and Dicks Sporting goods all offer entry level kits. Most of the kits will be under $75.
Rick, I wished someone had explained the felt bottoms to me a while back. Them freakin neopreme duck hunting waders ain't worth a dang on moss covered snotrocks. Glad I had the chest belt tightened...
He took me!
Thanks Dad.
Wish you were here.
Proud Parent of a Marine
Hey Robert! Thanks for the reminder on the belt.
Some waders do come with a cinchable belt, but I've found that an old leather one works best.
Chad the idea behind the belt is that when you do fall in... (note the fact that I said when... not if... you will - everyone does) the belt should stop the water from rushing in below the waist.
It's better to fish with a friend in these cases.
#1 - The obvious safety issue.
#2 - It's a real kick to watch folks try and stop the fall when all they have is water around them. Hehe... Go on ahead Master Jedi... use the force.
It's also a VERY good idea to never go in above your knees if possible. Between the casting, the moving, fighting the fish, and then fighting a current... you'll get worn out in an awful hurry. The deeper the water... the stronger the current underneath it. Stay out of the deep stuff. Leave that to someone on another site to fall victim to.

Something I do that makes me happy is I look at erotic tumblr feeds of small-breasted women.
"Looky thar!" I say to myself while looking at a strange woman's tits like some green sprout sneakin' a peek at his first carnival. "Looks like she likes them, maybe even proud of them. Well I'll be a monkey's aunt." I'm four monkey's aunt.
Then I forget why I did it in the first place, but the next time I feel like I have to, I do it again.
I have 14,000 more where these came from.
We asked Lisa Beth Johnson to pick five of her favorite tweets. Here's her list, in no particular order.
@mtobey: SkyMall should sell a karaoke machine for people to take in the shower and it shouldn't be waterproof.
@MostlyPregnant: My foot is finally asleep! I have to slip away…
Person 1: Who did that song "You Can't Play With My Yo-Yo?"
Person 2: Da Brat
Person 1: No duh. A brat.
Person 2: No, DA Brat.
Person 1: No duh!
Person 3: Nah, it was Yo-Yo.
Person 1: Yo-Yo…what?
Person 2: Yo, it was Da Brat, yo.
Person 3: No, Da Brat was, like, later.
Person 2: I know! Da Brat was all, "Don't try to play me out! Peace, brother!"
Person 3: You wack. Yo-Yo.
Person 2: Who you callin' a yo-yo, brat?
Person 1: Y'all a couple of bitches.
Person 2 & 3: Who you callin' a bitch?!
Person 1: I know that song! It's by U-N-I-T-Y.
Queen Latifah: Y'all need to shut the hell up!
I want to write every day, but sometimes I don't have a thing. When that happens, I go to the home of things to find a new one. This is dangerous because I don't know for sure what I'm going to find. The home of things is very old. As old as everything itself. There could be spiders there or a maybe a dead person.
Today is one of the days I have to go. My stockpile is empty. I take an old canteen and fill it with holy water. Many people don't realize this, but holy water is just water with turmeric in it. I put on my going outside clothes, which feel like armor, and go outside. Outside is where things call home.
What happens if I don't go. Will I cease to be? I have no choice. Anne Lamott is counting on me. Anne Lamott is a writer who specializes in self-depreciation and openness and Christianity. She has known people who have died and people who may have too much alcohol in their bodies. I don't have to go outside to learn this information. It can be summoned inside via Wikipedia.
Why don't I just stay inside and write about Wikipedia. That's cheating. Anne Lamott wants me to go outside, even if there are dead people. If God is dead and God is in all of us, we're all dead on the inside. That's not the thing I'm trying to teach you, Wikipedia Anne Lamott whispers to myself. You have to write about an outside thing. Go outside where more things are.
It's bright outside. You'd think a place that has dead people and spiders in it would be dark, but it's only that way half the time. To be fair, there are many things out here. Wrought iron. Litter. A man with a large stomach. A miniature soccer ball. These are the things I'm to write about, Anne Lamott? Don't you think the fact that everyone is carrying a rotting deity around inside of them is more interesting?
She doesn't. She says if I don't write about outside things tomorrow she'll send the dead people and spiders in to me. She's a pretty good writing coach.
"As a hopeless romantic, I often write poetry to my many, beautiful lovers of which I have many. What is your secret, I ask myself. After all, most people don't know how to keep romance alive. They feed their relationships like a goldfish, leaving partners with only a few flakes of pillow…

A couple of hours back, I had the chance to play around with the Lego Mindstorms NXT Robot (Alpha Rex) and was blown away by what I saw. I vaguely remember a toy I had as a kid; a robot that had a button on it's head and made noises when pressed. That was close to 20 years back and boy, how times have changed!
The central part of the kit (also sold separately) is the NXT Intelligent Brick that houses a 32 Bit ARM7 processor, an 8 bit Atmel AVR microcontroller, 4 input ports, 3 output ports and an LCD display. The beauty of the kit is the fact that you can fiddle around with an umpteen number of accessories and build a number of little robotic contraptions. Programming isn't too difficult either; basic programs can be written directly using the menu on the brick and more complex ones can be downloaded using the USB port. I was told that you could also do it from your mobile phone thanks to Bluetooth connectivity.
The bundled programming software, NXT-G v1.0 allows the user to write a number of simple programs like performing calculations, working servo motors and programming light and sound sensors. The kit comes with 3 identical servo motors and 4 different input sensors; touch, sound, light and ultrasonic. While the majority of us got to play around with Lego blocks as kids, today's thumb suckers get to fiddle around with exponentially cooler stuff. Pangs of envy are unavoidable.
I'm seriously considering shelling out 379$ to get the Alpha Rex robot. The kid in me has been outed and you can't coax him back in.

Dezmine Wells stars as Maryland dumps Northwestern
Evanston, IL, United States (4E Sports) – Sophomore Dezmine Wells scored 13 of his career high 23 points in the second half to key Maryland's breakaway en route to a 77-57 crushing of Northwestern Tuesday at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
The 6-5 Wells hit all of his five shots in the second half and finished 9-for-11, Alex Len added 13 markers and Nick Faust had 10 for the Terrapins (5-1), who notched their fifth straight win after losing to No. 3 Kentucky in the opening game.
Reggie Hearn led Northwestern (6-1) with 19 points while Dave Sobolewski and Drew Crawford added 14 and 10, respectively as the Wildcats (6-1) saw their six-game winning streak came to a screeching halt.
"We were disappointed. We forced a lot of turnovers in the first half and were only down two at half. We really should have been up but we didn't shoot the ball well either," said Northwestern coach Bill Carmody.
Maryland unleashed a 9-0 run midway in the first half to turn an 18-17 deficit into a 26-18 advantage with 5:51 left in the half.
The Wildcats immediately responded with a 7-0 run of their own, started by a Crawford three -pointer and capped by a layup by Alex Marcotullio to close the gap, 26-25, before the Terrapins settled for a 28-26 lead at the break.
The Wildcats tied the game with a layup by Crawford before Maryland unleashed a 13-1 run to grab a 47-34 lead, which Northwestern was unable to cut below double digits the rest of the way.
"We have a good shooting team and were open, they just weren't going down. Then in the second half we basically didn't guard them, and our offense was pretty much the same," Carmody said.
The Terrapins, ranked second nationally in rebounding, had a 47-19 advantage on the boards over the Wildcats.
Maryland shot 52.7 percent from the field while Northwestern's shooting clip paled in comparison with just 34 percent.

A jackknifed big rig blocked both westbound transition lanes of the Foothill (210) Freeway in Pasadena today, but no one was hurt, authorities said.
The 3:22 a.m. crash prompted closure of the lanes that connect two sections of the 210 Freeway, where it intersects with the Ventura (134) Freeway.
The circumstances of the single-vehicle crash were under investigation, CHP Officer Jennifer Cassidy said. The roadway remained blocked more than three hours after the crash.
