The Clockwork Watch, a storytelling endeavor...
As some know, I'm not usually in the habit of reviewing books, for a variety of reasons - unless the book in question is particularly different. Whilst wandering about the aethernet, I came about a project, which happened to have a literary addendum on its side. The Clockwork Watch is an interesting project, insofar that it is not only a book, but an ongoing storytelling endeavor about the Clockwork Watch Steampunk background - complete with a hefty amount of "news articles" describing the world and its current events. I am currently working to procure a copy of this book, and certainly do recommend a visit to at the very least read the background presented - extensive, well written, and does portend well for its future! For more details, please head towards: http://clockworkwatch.com/

Ensure that all high-quality webinars and whitepapers are gated, so blogs push to a landing page and capture leads, rather than pushing to the asset itself.
So, how do you reuse a whitepaper? • • Better yet, choose 1-key point and highlight it in the blog post. • Try creating a 3-part blog series highlighting different ideas from a longer piece of content. • 7 Briefly summarizing the entire webinar. This will help improve your site SEO and capture more leads. Image source: http://bit.ly/1eALnHh
Simple ways to repurpose content: " Idea #2: Create a nurturing newsletter • Package up your content and send it to customers and prospects in newsletter form. • Add top social media updates to the newsletters. • Curate popular industry news and updates from other sources • 8 This is also a good place to add a timely or relevant sales offer.

Romance can suffer in rowdy ski resorts, but Sean Newsom knows where to find true love
As far as romantic gestures go, it takes some beating — whisking your loved one away into the mountains for a dose of sunlight, snow and skiing. Not only will you be heading into one of the most seductive landscapes on the planet, you'll be embarking on a holiday chock-full of excuses for staying indoors. Yes, yes, yes, of course you're going to have lots of fun charging around on the slopes together: but the real pleasure comes from the contrast between all that healthy, high-altitude exercise and the long evenings curled up by the fire. It's a formula guaranteed

De Kelders Reviews
excellent alternative to Hermanus
We were not sure if De Kelders would have been the best choice to watch the whales instead of going to Hermanus. But after having stayed at De Kelders and also having made a short trip to Hermanus we definitely prefer De Kelders due to its familiar atmosphere, the beautiful beach and the excellent whale watching trips that are offered there.

Understanding the role of pentose sugars on C. thermocellum metabolism
This work highlights the importance of removing pentose sugars during bioconversion to biofuels, which could be achieved with C5 utilizing co-cultures or engineered strains of C. thermocellum, and is the first report of a functional ArgD-type cell signaling system in a thermophilic Firmicute and further work is warranted to understand the role of cell-to-cell signaling in achieving robust fermentations of lignocellulosic biomass.

Visualization of Significant Alteration of Populus biomass by C. bescii
Caldicellulosiruptor bescii targets surface cellulose and hemicellulose, but increase of surface lignin could inhibit further sugar access. Biphasic cell growth is attributed to degradation of easily accessible sugars followed by utilization of more insoluble polysaccharides.

Metabolic Adaptation Of C. thermocellum To Growth Inhibitors Released During Deconstruction Of Switchgrass
Integrated omics data of microbial growth on complex lignocellulosic biomass over time provided a detailed view of the molecular machinery (metabolites and enzymes) that reveals temporal adaptation to a complex, lignocellulose substrate — information that is critical for engineering C. thermocellum's industrial efficacy.

Engineering N-terminal End of CelA Enhances the Cellulolytic Activity of Caldicellulosiruptor bescii
To test whether alteration of the N-terminal terminus of CelA GH9 and CelA GH48 domains might improve secretion and/or catalytic efficiency of CelA, repeating aspartate tags were introduced into the N-terminal ends of these 8 domains. Introduction of repeating aspartate tags resulted in an increase in the general activity of the exoproteome and a dramatic increase in growth of C. bescii on crystalline cellulose. Most efficient cellulase systems contain highly active exocellulase enzymes capable of decrystallizing cellulose, so the observed increase in activity on Avicel bears directly upon the ability of CelA to degrade realistic biomass feedstocks destined for biofuels production.

Our 3 bedroom apartment, not only has an incredible view of the ocean, it is right in front of it. Relax, as you sit on our balcony sipping your favorite refreshment hearing the waves as they gently splash on the beach!
The apartment is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated by well known Interior Decorator Tensi Ramirez. Each room (except the den) has a view of the beach! You can even wash the dishes (if you opt to do so-there's a dishwasher though) looking out at the ocean. You'll love to see the moonlight streaking through the palm fronds or watch the sun come up while you sit on the balcony hearing the waves crash on the sand. Almost poetic, don't you think? And to make your tropical experience easier the balcony connects to the kitchen so you have access to Hors'douvers and all good things.
The beach near the apartment is over a mile long and curves toward the main part of the resort. Right next door to the apartment is the favorite of all the young ones, The BEACH CLUB, with it's slides,2 pools- one for the kiddies with their own slides and one for teens and grownups (who think they are teens). The facility also has a large jacuzzi, volleyball court, a restaurant and two bars. If you continue walking on the beach you will reach the Beach Bohio, a wooden structure right on the beach that serves libations and food. It is a hangout for the whole family with music, games for the little ones, surfing and boogie boarding right in front.
Back to the apartment: The apartment's complex is luxurious, the grounds are beautiful and well kept, Security is excellent. It also has 2 swimming pools.a large jacuzzi, a gym and a play yard for the little ones. There are huge wrap around beach umbrellas, chaise lounges and beach towels, all supplied by the complex. And to top it all off we have a 'CONCIERGE' that will make reservations for you, solve any problems that you may have, give you directions and reserve and set up your lounge chair and bring you a ice chest full of ice while you lounge!
The apartment is on the second floor, has an elevator (it is WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE) and is fully air conditioned. The kitchen has a granite countertop and is fully equipped with refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, ovens, clothes washer and dryer, etc. The Master bedroom has a king size bed, a TV, a beautiful view of the ocean and a modern beautiful bathroom with granite countertops. a large tub and separate beautifully tiled shower. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed, a view of the beach and a full bathroom. The den has 3 twin beds which double as couches, and a TV. The lovely living room faces the porch, has an ocean view.. So you see this condo is fully loaded and technically, all you have to bring is your bathing suit!
But that's not all !!. There are plenty of other activities in the resort. I have already mentioned the Beach Club but we also have 2 gorgeous 18 hole championship golf courses, 22 Tennis courts, an equestrian center where you can rent horses and ride on the beach (if the turtles are not nesting), 15 restaurants and a gambling casino, not to mention 2 marinas with charter yachts for deep sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling or day trips to the stunning islands of Vieques or Culebras. Sounds like an ideal spot for a vacation!! Actually,It's also an ideal place to live (which is why I've been living here for 17 years!).
Hi! I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I attended the Wharton School of Finance and Economics of the University of Pennsylvania. I received a law degree from the University of Puerto Rico and a Masters Degree in law from the University of London. I am currently 'retired' but have 2 properties in Palmas del Mar which I rent on a short term basis. This rental business keeps me very busy, reason for the little marks around the word retired. My other property is a house listed on Homeaway and VRBO with the listing number 397428. As you can probably tell by now, I have a horrible sense of humor! Oh, my favorite pastime is traveling. I have lived in Palmas for 20 years and I love it.
Jose Beauchamp purchased this condo in 2013
This property is special in that not only is the award winning complex where it is located stunning, but the apartment itself is unbelievably close to the ocean. Not too often these days do you have the chance to own a property where you can hear the soothing sound of the waves from your porch and your bedrooms. .
Palmas del Mar is also a unique place, with amazing amenities and services all within the resort. I moved to Palmas 19 years ago and never looked back. My daughter went to school in Palmas (Palmas Academy), She could go to school in a golf cart, her doctors had their offices here, she learned to sail, horse back ride and golf here. It is also a wonderful destination for weddings. Beware, once you visit us you may never leave.
This condo is unbelievably close to the ocean. It is beautifully decorated, and all the rooms have an ocean view except one. Our beachfront complex, the Marbella Club is the most luxurious in all of Palmas del Mar, with 2 beautiful pools, a large jacuzzi and georgeous lobbies with fountains and lush vegetation. Palmas del Mar, 'the resort', has many amenities which are available to our visitors. (The Beach Club, 2 golf courses, 22Tennis Courts, Equestrian center, gambling Casino, 15 restaurants, etc..
Our travel party consisted of 9 people (4 adults & 5 kids) and the condo was the perfect size and accommodations for all of us. Comfortable beds, and a beautifully decorated condo was the warm welcome each evening after our tours of the island.
We went on the bio-luminescent bay tour through Pure Adventure, and it was fabulous! We then went to El Yunque rain-forest and went ziplining. Make sure you go to Culebra Island to snorkel w/ CTA (Culebra Island Adventures). This is a family owned business, & they will show you a great time.
The manager, Rudy, is very helpful and is a very pleasant man.
We made new memories to last a lifetime! Thank You!!
we had a fabulous time in this gorgeous condo.. the view from all the rooms was quite stunning.. from our arrival, where we were met by Rudy from Rudy Realty to our departure a week later, everything was more than we could have imagined. Rudy explained everything and gave us a very informative booklet with a map, restaurants and things to do.. The view of the pools and ocean was so nice to wake up to every morning.. the condo was so comfortable with it's designer furnishings. you could tell a lot of time and money had been spent on the rich fabrics, comfortable bedding and relaxing living room furniture.. the kitchen was well equipped for cooking (but there were so many good places to eat out).. we spend LOTS of time on the patio, having breakfast, lunch and even an occasional dinner.. from walking all over Palmas, we feel the Marbella Club was the best location in all of Palmas del Mar.. Palmas was a wonderful location for day trips to El Yunque(45 min.),the bioluminescent bay (50 min) and San Juan (45 min).. meeting Jose and Lissette was so much fun and we had a great evening with them.. thanks so much for your hospitality... we have such wonderful memories from our week at Palmas del Mar and this condo.. the pictures of the condo are very accurate but it is even better in person.
My family knew from the moment we drove into the entrance-way of Palmas del Mar, that we had made the right decision. Excitement grew as we got closer to the condo at Marbella Club. Rudy, the manager, was at the condo to greet us, and gave us a tour of the condo, which exceeded our expectations! The condo is beautifully decorated, and well laid out. We had 9 people in our travel party, and everyone was comfortable with the accomodations. When our friends arrived, they too were "wowed" when they walked through the condo door. The children loved the condo pool, and we also bought day passes to swim next door at The Beach Club. We rented a golf cart for two of our 16 Year Old boys to get around the resort, and that was a lot of fun for them! The condo is in a perfect location for day trips to see sites on the island (about an hour to San Juan, El Yunque, Bio-Bay). Great memories were created at this condo, and when we return to Puerto Rico, this is definitely the place we will stay again! Thank you, Jose!
Our family of ten ranging in age from 1 to 86 stayed in the apartment for one week in August 2014. What a disappointing and frustrating experience! I was reluctant to write a negative review because I thought perhaps our situation was unique, but after reading the poor reviews about maintenance issues for this and the owner's other property, I feel obligated to share our experience. Leaking bathroom, defective stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. Not enough towels, coffee cups or sheets. Dirty, worn and stained sheets. We had to contact the manager Rudy Nurse almost daily and wasted many precious vacation hours waiting for the repair staff. Pictures look good but don't show the dust buildup and general yuckiness. The owner must have written those glowing reviews himself. Additionally, before our arrival he insisted that I pay the recently imposed tax of several hundred dollars even though we had a signed contract! Too late for us to rebook therefore I had no choice but to pay it and he knew it. don't trust the guy.
A group of us (3 couples and 1 single) traveled to Puerto Rico for one couple's 10 year anniversary celebration. I have never rented a condo or actually stayed away from an all inclusive resort in all of my tropical vacations. I don't think I would again after this trip. The condo was exactly as it was described. It was clean, well-maintained and provided the amenities we needed during our stay. Our favorite part was the patio area that brought us all together to enjoy the view, smell and sounds of the ocean literally in our "backyard". We spent a lot of time at the pool and hot tub which was a great place to relax and swim. At night and even when it rained, the hot tub was a wonderful ending to our day. The condo complex is a part of a small community where we always felt safe with 24/7 guarded gates. We would suggest renting a golf cart and touring the whole property. The property was very quiet, we felt like we were the only ones there and most of the time were at the pool/hot tub. At the nearby plaza, our favorite restaurant was Chihuahua, excellent Tex Mex food. We ate there twice. Make sure to take a day and visit the rain forest and Luquillo's beautiful beach and many restaurants also located on the beach. We did learn that alcohol cannot be purchased on Sundays at the stores, so plan ahead. The owner, Jose, and property manager, Rudy, were excellent hosts and we enjoyed meeting them one evening and learning more about them and Puerto Rico. We would highly recommend this property for a family or a group of friends like us. We would love to return some day.
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay Palmas del Mar. What a great location with wonderful amenities. Jose and Rudy are awesome to work with! We'll be back...Thanks again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo. Your property manager Rudy was very accommodating and helpful. He was very generous with his time and made sure we had everything we needed. The accommodations were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the porch area looking out at the ocean. The pool area and beach area were very accessible and beautiful. Everyone at Palmas Del Mar was very friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome. We always felt very safe and secure in the gated community, which was especially important since we were traveling with small children. The only negative thing I have to say is that the air conditioning unit in the lockout bedroom was not working when we arrived which made for some uncomfortable nights. Rudy was very quick to get the air conditioning people to come and look at it and it was fixed in a couple of days as a part had to be ordered to fix it. That issue was just a minor bump in the road and didn't detract from out overall experience. We are already planning our next trip to Puerto Rico and hope that your condo is available for us again next year! Thank you for everything!
Our apartment is within a large resort with many amenities such as golf, tennis, a BeachClub with slides, equestrian center, casino, basketball and volleyball courts, walking and jogging paths, golf cart paths, 15 restaurants, etc. We are located on the eastern part of the island where you are within an hour's drive to the Rain Forest, Luquillo Beach, Ferries to Culebra and Vieques, the bioluminecent bay in Fajardo, etc.

13 Fans Arrested After WWFC V BCFC Clashes
West Midlands Police face an investigation into force used against football fans in Wolverhampton.
The mum of Staffordshire teenager Stephen Sutton has announced she'll be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in memory of her son.
Jane's 19 year old son died from bowel cancer almost two years ago after inspiring hundreds of thousands of people around the world with his positivity and bucket list.
His fund for the Teenage Cancer Trust has reached more than £5.5 million.
Jane Sutton said she would undertake the challenge in early October, and proceeds from the climb will go towards the charity.
Stephen Sutton was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 15 in 2010. He died three and a half years later in May 2014, after his "bucket list'' campaign went viral, and overwhelming public support raised millions of pounds for the charity.
A memorial service at Lichfield Cathedral was attended by more than 10,000 and he was posthumously recognised for his activism with awards including an MBE and an honorary doctorate from Coventry University.
Speaking on Mother's Day, Mrs Sutton said that Stephen's enthusiasm for life had influenced her decision to commit to the trek.
"I thought about it for all of five minutes,'' said Mrs Sutton. "I followed Stephen's advice to seize every opportunity and take on the challenge. I find it amazing the knock-on effect of taking part in one activity and how that opens the door to another opportunity.''
Stephen's campaign has continued to generate donations, which now stand at over #5.5 million.
Mrs Sutton has also taken up the mantle of updating Stephen's original campaign page on Facebook, Stephen's Story.
"I didn't use social media prior to Stephen passing away. If I wanted to contact a friend, I'd pick up the phone or text them. But the reaction to Stephen's passing was astonishing and so positive, so I felt compelled to continue his blog."
Stephen continued to take part in fundraising events until just three days before his death. The campaign received accolades from a host of high-profile celebrities and MPs, including actor Benedict Cumberbatch, and Prime Minister David Cameron.
Teenage Cancer Trust's director of fundraising and marketing, Kate Collins, hailed Mrs Sutton as "every bit as inspiring as her son".
She said: "She shows such incredible determination and hasn't stopped spreading Stephen's unique message of positivity."
Jane Sutton is expected to start her climb in early October and hopes to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro on October 9.
Those wishing to donate can visit www.virginmoneygiving.com/climbkilimanjaro or text STEPHEN to 70500 to give #5 towards the challenge.

Can We Scientifically Select Residence Hall Staff?
Wotruba, Richard T.
In order to insure that only those individuals who are capable of facilitating positive growth within others are chosen as Resident Assistants (R.A.'s), it is vitally important to use a method of selection that is as objective as possible. In an effort to meet this challenge, Holy Cross College initiated a three year study to develop such a measuring instrument that would identify the best student leaders. The method of investigation was descriptive and the tools of measurement were standarized personality tests, an interest inventory, and a sociometric type leadership questionnaire. The sample consisted of 300 sophomores and juniors currently enrolled at the College, who were trying for 60 R.A. positions. It was found that the higher the student rates on the sociometric questionnaire, the more self-assertive and friendly he rates, and if his preferences evolve around extraversion, sensing, and feeling, and if he focuses his judgment upon people and things rather than upon concepts and ideas, the more likely he will be capable of facilitating positive growth within others.

A real rural caucus
The Hannibal Courier-Post
A group of 14 Democrat representatives has had enough. They believe rural Missourians are not given a fair deal by the state legislature and have joined forces to change that.
The representatives have formed the Rural Democratic Caucus, the brainchild of Wayne Henke and Jim Seigfreid. ...
In announcing their intentions, the group states it wants to work to get "our fair share" for those in rural Missouri.
Among the issues in the group's Bill of Rights for Rural Missouri are equitable funding for rural schools as well as equal funding for rural health care, economic development, transportation and technology development. The group also has a host of other issues on which it is willing to stand firm, such as opposition to closing and consolidating rural schools and wanting to fully fund ethanol and biodiesel programs.
Too often rural needs get bypassed for those from the big cities. Lawmakers must strike a balance between the needs of the metropolitan areas and those from smaller communities.
By banding together on issues that touch rural residents and businesses, the caucus members believe they will create a stronger voice. ...
We would go a step further, however. If representatives truly want to work to insure that rural interests are not overlooked, then why not form a rural caucus composed of both Republican and Democratic representatives from rural districts? If rural interests are to be properly looked after, we will need all of the support possible from both sides of the aisle.
Let's work together.

Posted by LEBATOI`dont thik so
Looks horrible.
Looks horrible.
nice mapping though.
Weapon Model looks interesting
i hope 32 - Multiplayer like BF or 64 if the levels are big enough^^
(I know, it's a stretch)
Just some observations.
Looks like it could be fun. THQ, in my experience, always make pretty solid games.
Current 360 war fps:
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
Call of Duty 2
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Fronlines: Fuel of War
battlefield 2 is rubbish play the pc version, COD2 now online is fixed should be fun. Hell highway looks like it may have a pretty good control system if they pull that off I imagine that will be the only one worth buying unless the others offer something new aswell.
Sorry for the long post, but it needed to be said lol.
Posted by Shepsis there a video we haven't seen?
The buildings look nice enough, but the player model animations look absolutly terrible.

2 Corinthians 51599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
5 1 He continueth in the same argument, 5 touching the certain hope of salvation 7 through faith, 12 not to praise himself, 14 seeing he hath God and his Church before his eyes, 17 and esteemeth nothing, but newness of life in Christ.
1 For [a]we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we have a building given of God, that is, an house not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens.
2 For therefore we sigh, desiring to be [b]clothed with our house, which is from [c]heaven.
3 [d]Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.
4 For indeed we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened because we would not be unclothed, but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 And he that hath [e]created us for this thing, is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 [f]Therefore we are always [g]bold, though we know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
7 (For we walk by [h]faith, and not by sight.)
8 Nevertheless, we are [i]bold, and love rather to remove out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
9 Wherefore also we [j]covet, that both dwelling at home, and removing from home, we may be acceptable to him.
10 [k]For we must all [l]appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
11 [m]Knowing therefore that [n]terror of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest unto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
12 [o]For we praise not ourselves again unto you, but give you an occasion to rejoice of us that ye may have to answer against them, which rejoice in the [p]face, and not in the heart.
13 [q]For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right mind, we are it unto you.
14 [r]For that love of Christ [s]constraineth us,
15 Because we thus judge, that if [t]one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which live, should not henceforth [u]live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 [v]Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, [w]yea though we had known Christ after the flesh, yet not henceforth know we him no more.
17 [x]Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a [y]new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.
18 [z]And all things are of God, which hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himself, not imputing their sins unto them, and hath [aa]committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then are we ambassadors for Christ: as though God did beseech you through us, we pray you in Christ's stead, that ye be reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be [ab]sin for us, which [ac]knew no sin, that we should be made the [ad]righteousness of God in him.

Organic beauty products are expensive and there is nothing worse then buying something online that you have never used before, only to not like it and end up with a huge bottle of something you won't use that costs a lot of money!
That is why I love when companies offer FREE samples. It's good for the company too. People will try a free sample of things they may have never tried before, simply because there is no cost to them. If they like it, they might buy it. It's a win-win.
So, enough babbling, go here to request your FREE sample of Sirjj Organics.

Howdy fellow tone-freaks! As each old year comes to a close and the New Year begins, I try to give you an insiders-only sneaky peek into what top-secret goodies lie in wait. And this her year friends-n-neighbors is gonna be the most awesome year yet. Shhhh … this is just between you & me …
Let's start off with this little bit of awesomeness: How about a totally new website? Yea baby! Coming in early January; from the ground-up it's totally new and it's totally gonna be … well … AWESOME! Don't get me wrong, I've LOVED the old website with its tweed Fender amp motif, but it is about seven years old, and in web-time that's about retirement age. So … out with the awesome but old and in with the NEW awesome!
Next, how about FREE STUFF each and every month? Yep, I thought that one would get your attention! In a bit of a revival of the early days of WGS, we will be giving away pickup sets and/or speakers each month beginning in February. Stay tuned for all the details, and yes you heard correctly … I did say EVERY MONTH!
And one more little bit of awesome news: New models! Yep, in pickup world, I have heard you, and in 2017 you will see the addition of the world's best Filtertron style pickups as well as P90s, Jazzmaster, and Jaguar sets. All world-class, and all coming in 2017! And in Speaker world, we have something cool coming in 2017 that's been in R&D for over 2-years. Sorry I can't tell you EXACTLY what it is … but rest assured it'll be … you guessed it: AWESOME!
So there you have the inside scoop for 2017. Have an awesome New Year!
In case you haven't figured it out already, Warehouse Guitar Speakers isn't your regular manufacturing company. WGS truly is the fabled small-town family owned business of yester-year, and from the top to the bottom, it's staffed with great folks who take pride in what they do and truly care about their customers. Plus, the WGS staff is chocked plum full of guitar players and tone chasers … in other words, we're just like you!
And so we say to you a heartfelt "Merry Christmas" as from one family member to another. We hope Santa leaves something very cool under the tree for you … something guitar related, of course! :-)
I've been buying and selling gear on eBay since the last millennium … otherwise known as 1999, but hey, that's still a LONG time! Over the last decade eBay has become less and less advantageous for individuals like me as a place to sell gear. The fees keep escalating and the deck is stacked more and more against the seller in as much as we actually CAN'T give a buyer who rips us off bad feedback … that's plum insane, and a buyer can blackmail us using a threat of "bad feedback". Furthermore, the ONLY payment method we can accept is PayPal, and PayPal is terribly biased towards the BUYER getting whatever they want, and often the seller gets screwed by a buyer who CLAIMS the item was not as described or some such nonsense. Even in a "for local pickup only" auction, we can't accept anything but PayPal; if you're item description even hints to the fact that you will accept greenbacks, the eBay bots will catch it and cancel your item. Why? Because they want the PayPal percentage, of course! (EBay may have "spun off" PayPal into its own company, but they are still corporate siblings.) The end result: unless you are a big company selling gazillions of cheap widgets, you are probably looking for an alternative place to sell your stuff. If your stuff happens to be guitar and music gear, your best option is Reverb(.com).
let's take a couple of hypothetical sales and compare the cost to sell the items. First how about a sweet yet inexpensive old Sigma/Martin acoustic guitar that sells for $200. EBay would take $26.40 out of that two hundred bucks; Reverb would take $12.65. That cuts the cost of selling more than in half! Put an even better way, the difference in fees would allow you to drop your price to $186, and still wind up with the same profit, and that motivates buyers! But how about on a more top-end item, how about a mid-level vintage instrument worth $9,000? Well, now it gets interesting indeed! EBay would take $1,011.60 of your money, and Reverb would take $593.25. Baby, that's $418 bucks difference. Now let's just say over a year or so you sell a dozen or so of those $200-ish items, plus a couple of those 9-grand-ish items, plus a few in-between items and a good solid splattering of pedals and other sub $100 items (that's fairly typical for a mid-level buyer/seller/collector/player). Man, you'll save WELL over a grand selling that on Reverb vs eBay.
As I alluded to earlier, both eBay and their sister company PayPal are terribly biased towards the buyer and agents the seller. This simply is not the case with Reverb; the Reverb selling and payment system offers EQUAL protection for both the buyer AND the seller. If you are the seller, that's important.
Okay, so given all this evidence, why on earth would anyone continue to sell gear on eBay? Simple: they still have a larger user base than Reverb, especially world-wide. And, speaking of world-wide selling, here eBay really shines with their proprietary world-wide shipping service, which actually costs the seller nothing to use, as the buyer pays for all shipping fees. And so, if you have an item that you just KNOW will fetch a premium overseas, then the larger fees eBay leverages just might be worth it. Also, arguably, the eBay selling system may be easier for a newbie to use, but to me that's not an issue, and it probably isn't to those of you reading here either.
So there ya have it. Happy gear selling.
We may all be different (some of us more than others :-) ... but every one of us here in the WGS circle of friends has something to be truly thankful for this year: The fact that we have guitars in our lives. No matter the level we play at or the style we play in, this love of guitars and making music reaches across the miles and even the ideologies that might distance us and brings us together as one. I feel truly blessed to be a part of this family!
You've just dug an old Tube amp out of Grandpa's attic; or maybe got a deal on eBay or Craigslist. So, how do you safely turn it on to assess its health? Well, there's really NO way that's guaranteed to be safe, but here is the best advice I can give ya.
Believe me, this is a proven recipe for smoking resistors and capacitors. And oh how terrible the smoke smells! It's the reverse of the old Nike line: JUST DON'T DO IT!
On eBay I'll often see amps listed as something like "turned on and all the glass bottles lit up", and the accompanying pic will show the amp with the tubes glowing and NO SPEAKER connected. The output transformer of a tube amp expects to see a certain impedance on the tube side of the tranny, and a reflected impedance on the speaker side. Now, most old amps are forgiving of loads up to +/- 100% of the expected load (in other words an amp expecting an 8-ohm speaker impedance is generally safe at 4-16 ohms. But, no speaker load at all, nope, that ain't safe for even a few seconds! Figure any tube amp ran without a speaker load has a pretty good chance of having bad output tubes, output transformer, or both. Again, JUST DON'T DO IT!
This pic was taken directly from an eBay auction. What's wrong? Yep, the tubes are all aglow ... with no speaker load! Don't do that!!!
So … what SHOULD you do?
Carefully look for fried resistors or blown out electrolytic capacitors. Then, check all the filter caps and other big-value caps with an ESR meter and replace any bad ones prior to powering up. Also check the important grid and coupling caps and resistors and replace ones that are way out of spec before powering up.
They don't have to test "as new" … but if they are just flat shorted, gassing, or WAY below minimum spec, replace them before powering up. In a push-pull amp with 2 or 4 power tubes (or more) you will also want to make sure the output tube pairs are at least FAIRLY closely balanced.
And fire the old girl up on a variac starting at about 25 volts AC. Note that you do NOT need to have her hooked up to a speaker load at this point because you have REMOVED the output tubes! Increase the voltage about 20 volts every 20 minutes until you have reached full voltage. If nothing is smoking and you haven't blown a fuse, you are ready to continue.
At this point, make sure she's hooked up to an appropriate speaker load, and you might want to run her through a visual over-current protection device (light bulb); the bulb should be an old fashioned incandescent of about 150-300 watts (or multiples that add up to this). For info on the "light bulb" current limiting device, click HERE.
With amps that have been dormant for a long time, I like to start with it on the variac at about 90 volts for a few minutes before slowly bringing the power up to full line voltage (provided nothing snaps, crackles, pops, or smokes). Now listen for unusual noise as you turn the controls through their ranges. A little "warm heater" smell is normal at this point, but keep your nose and eyes open, and if you smell ugly burning smells or see smoke, cut the power!
I like to start with music from my mp3 player, etc. Just turn her up and see what she sounds like. If she sounds entirely happy, then it's time to plug in a guitar and see how she sounds. I won't get into any mods you might want to make to an old amp as that is out of the scope of this blog. I'll say this: if the amps happy, and you are happy, then you're done!
You may have noticed that over the last decade or so Fender has released some cool little tube amp designs, like the ever popular straight-up tube amps the Blues Junior and the Pro Junior as well as the tube hybrid Super Champ XD and X2. All of these amps have a club friendly 15-20 watts through either a pair of EL84's (The Blues and Pro Jr.) or 6V6's (the Super Champs). This is the exquisite power section of the famous AC-15 or Deluxe Reverb … a VERY good platform on which to build a club-sized tube amp, and on their own these little amps sound quite good, but to heck with good … we want GREAT, right?
Is it their PC board construction, pre-amp stage, or poor component selection? No; it's the cabinets and speakers. All of these otherwise excellent combos suffer from the same malady: they have cheap speakers crammed into cheap, too-small cabinets. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a recipe for mediocracy at best. The good news is that there IS a fix! Let's talk about that.
Every one of these is a GREAT sounding design, but it's like having a great engine in a Yugo (click on the word if you don't know what a Yugo is). The tiny cabinets Fender crams these things into are made of particle board so heavy that you would swear it's part lead; there is absolutely no room for the speaker to breathe, and no cabinet resonance at all. The end result: a box that sounds … well … boxy! And so, I will present you with two great alternatives that I personally am intimately familiar with; both of these options will take your little amp from "meh" to "YEA"!
I owned a Pro Junior for a little while … and "meh" was a perfect way to describe it, I loved that cute LITTLE cabinet, and even made a 3/8" lightweight baffle and put a 12" speaker in it … but the fact is, that dense little cabinet just physically can't sound great. But wait! Enter the 2x10" "Pro Senior"; this amp is owned by my buddy and HEAVY gigging player Brad Sample, and it's been on hundreds of stages of all sizes all over the country. The chassis is a plain old un-modified Pro Junior, but the cabinet is a healthy sized 2x10 made by JD Newell from Grade A knot-Free pine and has a lightweight floating baffle for 2 10" speakers. Brad used the stock very bright Fender speaker and added the VERY bottom-heavy hemp-cone Eminence Lil Buddy, and the result is a GREAT sounding simple volume & Tone tube amp that can easily keep up with a heavy hitting drummer! Awesome, right? (BTW: a WGS G10C and an ET10 would be the ULTIMATE speaker combo in this cabinet).
As you all might remember, I LOVE my little Vibro-Champ XD for after-the-family-goes-to-bed living room playing. So, I started looking into its big brother, the Super Champ XD as a club-gig amp. Problem was, they just didn't sound that great … too boxy … plus, not nearly enough clean volume to keep up with a live drummer. So, when I spotted this ultra-cool Super Champ XD in a high-quality tweed covered 1x12 made by The Musician's Hardware Store … I just HAD to own it! As you might expect, I did an exhaustive bunch of speaker tests, and Ultimately chose a Reaper HP as the flat-out winner for this amp, it retains all the Fender sparkle and chime, plus adds a bunch of tight, solid bottom (I like my bottom tight and solid) … and it's efficiency coupled with the quality lightweight and resonant cabinet means that this lil gal can EASILY keep up with a slammin' live drummer. Oh, and best of all for those of us who care about our backs, because the new cabinet is so much lighter than the original particle board cab, the final amp is only 2-pounds heavier than a stock Super Champ XD … even with the heavy-magnet Reaper. Yea BABY!
Now, if ya wanta go whole-hog, contact my buddy Jimi Lundin and have him whip you up a one-of-a-kind cab for your lil gal. Jim is quite an artist and makes my cabs.
So, maybe you have some OTHER tiny tube amp that suffers from the same combo of a cheap speaker inside a too-small box. Fear not! Folks like Jimi, JD Newell and The Musician's Hardware Store can make a superior quality cabinet for most any amp out there … oh, and of course WGS will always provide the best speaker at an unbelievable price. Feel better? Yep, I thought so :-)
someone said their drip-edge Bassman was a 1968 because "that's the only year they made drip-edge amps". [Buzzer sound] Wrong! And by the way, just in case you don't know, the term "drip-edge" refers to the aluminum trim surrounding the grill cloth on the earliest silver-face Fender amps (see highlighted drip-edge in the photo above). So, let's talk drip-edge years of production. Are y'all ready to settle this question once and forever? Good, then let's go!
Okay, to be fair, dude WAS partially correct, in as much as that 1968 was the only FULL year of production for the drip-edge models. However, the first drip-edge models appeared in late August of 1967 as the black-face cosmetics were being replaced by silver-faced amps. The most popular amps, like the Deluxe Reverb, were the first to receive the new look, which included not only the silver face-plate and aluminum drip-edge, but also a slightly different grill cloth with added subtle vertical blue stripes. A few models during this early silverface period actually have the new silver face-plate and the old blackface style back-plate, and the earliest silver faceplates have the mysterious slim black vertical lines (more on this later). It makes sense that the amps that were not selling as well were the last to receive the new look, as they were the models for which the old black-face parts lasted the longest, and inversely the most popular models were the first to get the update, as their black-face parts ran out the earliest. What does this mean? It means that you may see a drip-edge Deluxe Reverb with a build date as early as mid-1967, and a black-face non-reverb bandmaster or Vibrolux as late as February of 1968. Now, as for when the drip-edge was eliminated. Once again, the most popular models were the first to lose the aluminum trim in mid 1969 and the least popular were the last to lose it in late 1969, with the Bandmaster Reverb (TFL5005D) as the very last. By January of 1970 all fender amps being produced were the more common non-drip edge silverface models, those cosmetics continued on unchanged through the entire decade.
Got it? Good, now let's talk specifically about the earliest of the drip edge amps, the "black line" models. These amps can really be "sleepers" as most are in every way a blackface amp with silverface cosmetics.
There is no clear consensus as to why these lines exist; they appear just before the Volume controls and on either side of the amps name. In contrast to every other aspect of the silkscreen printing, they just don't seem "right". They are non-symmetrical both vertically as well as horizontally and are extremely thin compared to all other lines. Many believe they were lay-out reference lines that were never intended to make it into production; that makes sense since they only appeared for about the first 4-6 months. At any rate, these lines are a great clue that your amp is one of the earliest with the silverface cosmetics, many of which were otherwise UNCHANGED from the blackface design. Cool, a blackface amp at a silverface price!
This Deluxe Reverb was listed on Craigslist as a "70's Silverface". From the one picture with the ad, I could see the drip edge and black lines, and new she was probably a 1967. When I saw the amp in person, I confirmed that it was indeed a '67 from the serial number, AB763 tube chart, and blackface footswitch. Yep, I gladly handed over the $725 asking price :-)
Now, when you hear someone state that all drip edge Fender amps are 1968s, please set them straight!
See y'all next week, it's gonna be one you won't want to miss.
So … After my initial blog about the 1957 Strat at Goodwill, I've had numerous inquiries as to if that was real or just a hoax; I assure you it was real. Man, the truth is, Up until that time the Goodwill auction site was totally off my radar as good hunting ground for vintage instruments. But ever since, I've been keeping my eyes on that site. Here is a super clean 1959 Gibson Melody maker that just sold for a very reasonable price, check it out!
It was listed as "Gibson Burnt Coffee Electric Guitar-Powers On". What the heck??? Burnt coffee? And how exactly does a guitar "power on"? Because of the hilarious description, I thought maybe I could sneek in and get her for a steel, but it ended up selling for about $1,500; a great deal for someone, but still too rich for my blood.
Next, I've just gotta mention this guitar I found on Goodwill; the title was "Gibson Mahogany Bass Electric Guitar". Now, this one is REALLY hilarious because 1) it's not a Gibson, 2) it's not Mahogany, and 3) it's not a bass! They got EVERYTHING wrong! So the lesson is "buyer beware", Goodwill doesn't know a thing about guitars, so you the buyer had better! Oh, and it only sold for about fifty bucks, so I guess nobody was suckered into believing it was a "Gibson Mahogany Bass Electric Guitar". Have fun y'all, keep pickin' … and keep grinnin'.
I'm reading an advertisement from a fret protectant product by Zymol called "Bridge"; the advert says EXACTLY what I want to say, and so I'll repeat it here word for word:
Boy … sounds like something to avoid, doesn't it? Let's talk about that.
First, I'll mention that this blog is NOT about re-fretting a guitar, or about polishing frets; that might be a good topic for another day, but today we are talking specifically about cleaning and protecting the wood of your fretboard.
If your fretboard is sporting only the usual player's grime, then I recommend cleaning it with nothing more than a good bit of old fashioned elbow grease, a cloth with water and a mild soap, like dish detergent. Personally, I like old socks as the cloth. If you are cleaning a board with decades of ground-in grime, then I use a product like LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner and/or naphtha. Be aware that the stronger the cleaner, the more likely you are to wind up with a dry oil-depleted fretboard. Which brings us to…
Here is where my opening quote comes in, and here is where I like coconut oil (which just happens to be a main ingredient in Zymol's Bridge product). Some folks prefer lemon or some other oil on fretboards while others shout "use nothing at all". Personally, I am among the use nothing crowd when we're talking about say, a maple board finished in a bunch of polyurethane. I mean, really … nothing's going to penetrate that PLASTIC anyway; any oil you try to apply will just rub/drip off! However, if we are talking about an unfinished board, especially rosewood or ebony, or an old board with little to no nitro left on it … then I oil the board, especially if it's noticeably dry.
Why coconut oil instead of lemon, orange, or one of the other oils? Because it kills fungus, bacteria, and viruses. Yep, it kills all that crap that would like to eat your fretboard. A couple of nice side benefits are that it's super easy to work with since it is a paste at room temp, and that it just might keep you from catching a virus! When working coconut oil into the board, remember to use it sparingly. Just a couple little dabs on a cloth will get you through the average fretboard. If it's a super dry board, you might repeat the process. And, you will always want to thoroughly rub the board down with a dry cloth afterwards … unless maybe you want a little to rub off on overly dry finger tips!
Oh, and if you like the idea of using a product specifically for guitars, by all means ... I sugest using the Zymol product ... with all it's coco-nutty goodness :-)
I've been "retired" from the road for over 20 years now. When our first daughter was born I decided that being home to be a husband and father was more important than being a road warrior. That daughter is now out of college and more-or-less on her own, but my wife and I have a new little girl who just started kindergarten, so again, I have a pretty good reason for still keeping my little lily white hiney home. But yesterday I was listening to Paul McCartney on Pandora while driving and it hit me; if Paul were to call me out of retirement, I'd say yes without hesitation.
Why? Well, it's certainly not just because of the opportunity to play with a "living legend" before it's too late. I assure you the majority of music icons don't interest me a bit. But McCartney … well … wow. Yes, as regular readers of this blog know, I'm a McCartney fan for sure (read the blog). But from a GUITAR PLAYER standpoint, here are the bullet points:
Varity: Holy crap, McCartney's catalog of hits, both in and out of the Beatles is more varied in styles and textures than ANY other artist! That's what hit me as I listened to a smattering of his stuff from many decades. I mean, there isn't a single guitar tone that he hasn't used on record. As a certified TONE guy, I can TOTALLY appreciate that. I mean, I might actually be able to come up with a totally genuine answer to my wife's question of "why on earth do you have so many guitars, amps, and guitar gizmos?" … "Because, sweetie, I need each and every single one of them to cop the tones on Paul's songs". How cool is that fellow gear addicts???
The man himself: I learned many years ago that if you are going to squeeze into an aluminum tube with a dozen or so other musicians and call it home for weeks or months at a time, all it takes is one JERK and the experience becomes miserable. I just cannot imagine a jerk ever gaining entrance to McCartney's band. He's just too darn nice a guy (he IS a Knight after all).
So there! Sorry to my lovely wife Kim, but if Sir Paul calls me up, I'll be on the road again. Of course there are better odds that I'll win the state lottery while being hit by a bus on an ocean cruise …
How about y'all? What artist would be YOUR ultimate gig and why? I'm curious!
