Coloring in the lines: Movie "Crazy Rich Asians" to star all-Asian cast, emphasizes importance of representing minorities
August 14, 2018
As summer ends and school begins, it is never too late to stop by the theater to catch a movie. But what to watch?
Among film selections recently, I have noticed an increase of minority representation, whether that be nearly all African-American casts such as "Black Panther," which grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide over its opening weekend according to Time Money, or female actors taking lead roles in "Ocean 8." Moreover, this upward trend in increasing minority actors can be seen in TV series such as "Black-ish" and "Jane the Virgin." Yet as an Asian-American, I find myself somewhat detached from the films and TV shows in the entertainment industry due to the lack of Asian-American representation.
However, that is all about to change. Tomorrow, an all-Asian-American film will premiere: "Crazy Rich Asians." Based upon the first book of the Kevin Kwan series, the romantic comedy follows New Yorker Rachel Chu who accompanies her boyfriend Nick Young to a wedding in Singapore, where she discovers her boyfriend is actually one of the wealthiest bachelors in that country. The movie, according to its website, follows Chu on this wild journey to truly get to know the love of her life while dealing with socialites and drama with every turn she takes.
Not only does the movie feature the first Asian American cast in Hollywood history, but it also provides commentary on the vibrant life of the world's elite.
I am extremely excited to watch this movie. Its main character, Rachel Chu, is played by actress Constance Wu, who is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses most notable for her work in the also Asian-American series "Fresh Off the Boat." Alongside that, the character of Rachel Chu herself is quite intriguing to me: a self-determined "ABC"—American Born Chinese—living in New York as an economics professor with an avid love life.
This movie is setting the stage for a steady movement of rising minority representation around the world. Whether Asian-American, African-American or another ethnicity yet to come to theaters, "Crazy Rich Asians" is providing an example of unprecedented Asian-American representation in the entertainment industry. I am hopeful of its success among young Asian Americans like myself as well as the Hollywood community. I commend the efforts of Hollywood, especially in aculturally diverse nation like the United States, for increasing representation of minority groups in films, following the promising films like "Crazy Rich Asians."

When Key and Peele thought up Keanu they must have been like, "For our first movie let's mash up ganstas and cats." Which is a weird mix because in the movie theater you usually don't see people flying gang colors sitting next to people wearing a cat shirt of desperation.
The movie starts out with Keanu the kitten dodging bullets in a drug lab like a big furry boss. He gets out of the lab and then runs all the way to Peele's doorstep and straight into his heart.
Now everything is going great until Keanu gets stolen. So Key and Peele decide to go after him like Liam Neeson in Taken 1,2,3. And the first place they go is right next door to Peele's drug dealer played by Will Forte and his co-star of white boy corn rows. And Forte is like, "Aww dude, you're looking for Cheddar (Method Man) and his gang bangers who thought your place was mine and then treated your apartment like a tossed salad. You can find him and Keanu in his stronghold located in a strip club called HPV."
Luckily when Key and Peele meet Method Man they see Keanu. And instantly Key is like, "Dude we just happen to be in the market for a gangster pet." Method Man is caught off guard first but then is like, "Alright, you look like those Allentown boys who shot up that drug lab. If you do a job for me, I'll give you the kitten and then we'll truly find out if you're not a pair of dweebs."
So now they go on a drug run. Peele gets to sell drugs to Anna Farris while Key tries to act all hard with the homies in his minivan. Which becomes really difficult when Key's playlist gets to George Michael. And when one of the gang members says, "Is he black?" Key is like, "Well, he is a little light skinned."
Fortunately the deal is a success, which means one of the gang members makes Anna Farris and her friends really dead. After the job Peele is shaken up and wants to go, but Key is like, "Let's stay. I'm kind of into the whole gangster talk and gangster walk." But this is when Key gets peer pressured into trying crack which makes him hallucinate like he's shaking his booty with George Michael's as he sings Faith.
Eventually Method Man figures out Key and Peele are not the gangsters he's looking for. But Method Man doesn't care and just takes the guys to Luis Guzman to turn them in as the people who killed his drug lord cousin. Instantly there is a big gun battle and a car chase which ends up with Key and Peele finally getting Keanu and the consolation prize of six months in jail.
The Straight Dope: Key is the best part of the movie with lines like "wordness to the turdness." And if you are not satisfied with that, just enjoy the cutest kitten ever.

Name: Cindy Rothman
Birthday: October 16
Business Name: Rock Star Chocolates and Confections
Location: Long Island, NY
Born and raised on Long Island, married mama of two, lifetime lover of all things baking and chocolate.
When & how did you become a cake pop maker?
My friend Kathy bought me one of those cake pop machines as a thank you for helping her clean out her house. I'd been making chocolate lollipops for awhile by then, and I quickly got hooked on cake pops too! I've always enjoyed art and creating things, and working with cake and chocolate is just art in the form of dessert – perfect for me!
Do you bake as your full-time job?
No I don't. I am a part-time preschool special education teacher, full time mother to a 7 year old boy and 9 year old girl, and bake in my (non-existent) spare time.
How did you come up with your business name?
I actually had to change it recently….LONG story. But I came up with this one because when I first started out, Hannah Montana was very popular. My daughter and I loved her song "Rock Star" and we used to sing "I might even be a rock star!" whenever I'd create something extra cool. I feel like a rock star sometimes when I pull off something I found particularly challenging!
What inspires you in your baking; how do you come up with original ideas?
I love to check out the work of others and tweak it with my own special touches. I'm continuously inspired by all the amazing ladies I've met through Instagram and am honored to be included in their incredible company being featured here with you!!
What are some of your favorite creations that you have made?
What advice do you have for other cake pop makers?
Don't be afraid to ask others for suggestions or help if you need it. Everyone on Instagram has been so supportive and helpful whenever I've asked.
Do you make anything else in addition to cake pops?
Yes!! I make chocolate lollipops, chocolate dipped pretzels, marshmallows and Oreos, and candy kabobs. And I dabble in cakes just for my own kids.
Some non-baking questions…
- Favorite TV show or movie: Twenty year Young and the Restless fan. LOVE Big Brother every summer (Go Dr. Will!) And my son and I love Cake Boss. He does some amazing work with Play-Doh as fondant. I'm impressed LOL!
- Favorite book: Anything by James Patterson and Harlan Coban and Dan Brown
- Favorite non-baking hobby: Taking pictures with my new super cool pink dslr camera!
- Favorite candy: Dark chocolate Milky Ways, Reese's PB Cups, Sno-caps, and sour gummies.
- Favorite celebrity: As a kid I adored Corey Haim and Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles.
- If you could have any super power, what would it be, and why? To be a healer, and make everyone feel better 🙂 I try to do that with chocolate instead!

Thanks to the many supporters, organizations and active citizens who worked tirelessly on this issue and helped make the following possible. We are very close to achieving our shared goals and are committed to seeing this through to a final and successful conclusion. Three cheers for democracy and New Mexico!
Plaintiffs applaud Governor's decision.
Lawsuit remains until the plan is fully implemented.
January 13, 2006, Albuquerque – On Thursday, January 12, 2005, New Mexico's Governor Bill Richardson and Attorney General Patricia Madrid demonstrated bold leadership by announcing a plan to make New Mexico an all-paper-ballot voting state. This is a great day for New Mexicans because it means that we will be able to cast our votes with confidence that a mechanism is in place that will allow all votes to be counted and tallied and the results verified.
The Governor said that he will introduce legislation next week, at the beginning of the 30-day 2006 state legislative session that, if adopted, will accomplish two things: 1) it will mandate the use of optical scan paper ballots in all New Mexico elections, and (2) it will provide $11 million in state funding to purchase the necessary voting systems. If the legislation is adopted by the legislature and implemented before the next election, inaccurate, unreliable and insecure electronic voting machines that produce no voter-verifiable and auditable paper record will be a thing of the past.
This Governor's proposal is a great victory for the many concerned citizens and organizations who have tirelessly advocated the change to paper ballots. And it is a great victory for the plaintiffs in Lopategui v. Vigil-Giron, a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs sought this very result. The lawsuit, filed in January 2005, seeks an injunction barring future use of the same unreliable, paperless electronic voting machines that will be replaced under the Governor's plan if the legislature adopts it. A catalyst for the Governor's decision was the Lopategui plaintiffs' recent and successful effort to temporarily restrain the Secretary of State and county clerks from beginning the purchase of additional unreliable touch screen machines.
New Mexico's next statewide election is in June, 2006. Thus it is critical that the Governor's proposal be implemented immediately so that all New Mexico voters will have confidence that their votes and will count and can be verified. For this reason, the Lopategui plaintiffs intend to press forward with their lawsuit, particularly with their efforts to gather evidence needed to obtain judicial relief if the legislature does not adopt the Governor's plan , or if the statutory changes and funding adopted are too little or too late.
In the Lopategui litigation, Plaintiffs have already obtained critical evidence in discovery about the untrustworthiness of touchscreen voting systems and the serious inadequacy of the Secretary of State's process for auditing election results. By gathering more evidence through depositions and inspection of voting systems, plaintiffs will be in a position to seek timely judicial relief should the Governor's plan not be implemented. As soon as New Mexico can assure that all voters, regardless of the color of their skin, where they live, or their physical ability are able to cast their votes on verifiable, auditable paper ballots, plaintiffs will give final, hearty congratulations to Governor Richardson, Attorney General Madrid, and the state legislature for protecting our democracy.

Perfect for a 'nature' or 'rustic' wedding theme
It's no secret that bees are in decline. Since 1900, we've lost around 13 species of bee in the UK and a further 35 are at risk. Giving away wildflower seeds at your nature-themed wedding is a great way to help save bees and give nature a helping hand.
Our Bee Cause Wedding Favours contain seeds that provide a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees, as well as valuable shelter. They include plants such as Selfheal, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Field Scabious and Lesser Knapweed seeds. These perennial wildflowers will grow year after year, providing a gift to bees which long outlast most wedding favours.
Friends of the Earth is campaigning to reverse the decline of all bee species including solitary bees, bumblebees and the honey bee. By doing something as easy as planting seeds we can help lots of pollinating insects including bees, hoverflies, beetles, flies, butterflies and moths.
Affordable wedding favours
At just £1.20 per pack, Bee Cause Wedding Favours make a budget-friendly gift to give to your wedding guests. And Wildflower Favours will donate 50p from every pack to Friends of the Earth's Bee Cause campaign, to protect all British bees.
Friends of the Earth is doing incredible work to inspire people with the Bee Cause campaign and working tirelessly to protect Britain's bees, we are so pleased our products can support their work.Teresa, Founder of Wildflower Favours
"Friends of the Earth is delighted to team up with Wildflower Favours to inspire nature-lovers to create bee-friendly spaces with these unique wedding gifts. We hope many couples will encourage their friends and families to make a real difference to the future of our bees by sowing these beautiful wildflowers."
Craig Bennett, Chief Executive of Friends of the Earth
Did you know? Bees and weddings
St Valentine As well as being the saint who lends his name to the day of love, he is also the patron saint of beekeepers. So a bee-friendly wedding favour makes a nice little tribute to the bee-friendly saint.
Honeymoons A honeymoon is one of the sweetest moments for a newly-wed couple. It's commonly the first holiday they spend together to celebrate their marriage. But in ancient times a honeymoon referred to the time of year when bee honey was ripe and cured to be harvested from hives or from the wild. It was literally the sweetest time of the year. This was usually around the summer solstice near the end of June.

Inspector gadget
The new generation are using gadgets for everything. We interviewed Colin a first year student at Huddersfield about his favourite gadget.
What is your favourite gadget at the moment and what does it do?
At the moment I am using my phone for everything. It acts like a USB so I can put files on it like PowerPoints. I can download MP3s, video clips, Sky headlines, business reports, the weather and even trailers for films. I can also find the nearest cafe with its GPS (Global Positioning System) function or get road directions. Or I can type in my postcode and get directions to someone else's house with their postcode.
I get business news sent to my phone every morning so I can go into my lecture and brag that I know what's going on.
How has it changed your day-to-day life?
What would it be like without it? Without my phone I wouldn't be able to keep up with what's happening as I don't have a TV (due to the licence cost). I also don't know my way round Huddersfield very well and I can use it to find the nearest cash point to me or find where the cinema is and what's on.
Do lots of your friends have similar things?
My phone seems popular with most of my friends - a top of the range 3G phone.
What do you think the next big thing will be or what would you like to get next?
In Oxford they are developing a 3G system where you can watch TV live on your phone. When analogue TV is switched off in the UK and everyone moves to digital they will be able to broadcast.
I would like to have radio on my phone too. It is on a lot of the simpler cheaper phones and my brother and sister have it on theirs. I would also like a flash for when I am filming.
Do we need gadgets?
Other people's views As we discovered in the interview, Colin finds his phone really useful to keep him up-to-date. However, as Dan says, 'He could always read the newspaper...... I can see it has its uses but I wouldn't generally need it. Advertising tries to convince you it's essential to your life, but we did survive before.'
Kate has a phone that can tell her where the nearest takeaway is, 'I only used it once to see if it works but don't use it as I know my area. I can see how it could be useful but I just want to use my phone to ring people and text.'
Such sophisticated gadgets obviously don't appeal to everyone but for many it's become a necessity.

IDN TAKE: Kartapur Politics
by Sanjay Dayanand Naik
It all started with the hug between Navjyot Singh Sidhu and Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa at the swearing-in ceremony of Imran Khan as Pakistan's PM. This incident was later condemned by Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.Though Sidhu later defended his hugging-diplomacy by stating that Gen Bajwa said to him that they will open Kartarpur border on Guru Nanak Dev's 550th Prakash Parv. Also Sidhu was made to sit beside Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir President, Masood Khan.Clearly Pakistanis had tricked Sidhu.
Though Sidhu may today proclaim that his bonhomie with Imran Khan has bear fruits as not only Pakistan policy makers have started the process of Kartapur corridor but also Modi government has made U-turn on it's tough stance with Pakistan by inaugurating its own facilities for building the corridor in Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab, right up to the international border on the 10th anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.Pakistan has cleverly tricked India again by making the first move on declaring their intention of creating Kartarpur corridor which will allow pilgrims from India to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib without a visa throughout the year.Pakistanis knew India had to follow suit for political compulsion.Though this is a emotive issue for Sikh's as Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur in Pakistan is one of the holiest of shrines for Sikh community but the fact is Pakistan is creating this corridor for only 1 clear purpose.To incite and evoke passions of the visiting Indian Sikh pilgrims with the intention to revive the old Khalistani movement.Pakistan sole intention is to create trouble for India through Kashmir and through the Khalistani movement keeping the Referendum 2020 (motion to secede Punjab) in mind.Pakistani'shave played this mischief in Nankana Sahib where the billboards of Khalistan 2020 were prominently displayed.
This exposes duplicity" of Pakistan policy makers,"While on the one side Pakistan is trying to show its human face by allowing Indian pilgrims, on the other side it is promoting secessionist tendencies in India.
India's most wanted Khalistan terrorist lives in plush military style quarters, adjoining Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport. Wadhawa Singh Babbar,the head of the deadliest Khalistani terror group, Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), along with his ISI minders, remains engaged in trying to revive the long-defeated Khalistan movement in Punjab.
Pakistan policy makers have mastered the art of deception and have always succeeded in tricking India.At the Kartarpur Sahib inauguration, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke at length of improving ties with India.But at the same event, presence of Khalistani terrorist Gopal Chawla stood as testimony to Pakistan's sympathy for extremist forces active against India.
Today all the Aman Ki Asha propagators who will be linking the developments of Kartarpur corridor with bringing down of Berlin wall need to be reminded that in Berlin people belonged to same ethnicity, same religion,same language.Indians and Pakistanis can never reconcile because of the wounds of Partition which the British cleverly executed because of existence of primordial religious emotions.Time and again Pakistanis have bitten us and like every time we have never learned our mistakes and went on repeating this mistake. Let's not forget our 56 soldiers are languishing in Pakistan jails since 1971 despite India releasing 93,000+ soldiers of surrendered Pakistan Army soldiers. Every Pakistan Army officer before getting commissioned in Army is made to take a vow that they will avenge the humiliation of surrender at Dhaka.
Lt Col Shahid Mehmood Malhi, head of ISI's Lahore detachment, which sponsors Punjab-specific activities is the brain behind "Referendum 2020" — a movement started in Canada and some European countries by rights groups to ask for Khalistan. It proposes the date for launching Referendum 2020 as "6 Jun 2020", the 36th anniversary of Operation Bluestar. That's the real intention of Pakistan's move of opening up Kartarpur Corridor to bleed India again in Punjab.

It's the time of year that everyone is feeling happy and festive, and I for one am very happy for it! We can all agree that 2016 hasn't been the greatest year, so it's nice to be perpetually in a festive mood. I managed to get my shopping done pretty early this year, so it's been a stress-free week, and now I'm counting down to the big day! I certainly want to end the year on a high note, so I'm sharing a few of the things I love about the holiday season!
10 Things I Love About Christmas
1. Ice Skating – what a way to start off the Christmas festivities! Wrapping up warm and skating around til your feet hurt. I do it pretty much every year!
2. Christmas Lights – when they aren't giving me an electric shock that is (true story… I got shocked by some Christmas Lights and had to go to A&E. Yikes!)
3. Wrapping Presents – I take my time wrapping presents. I love it!
4. Watching People Unwrap Presents – Really it's that moment when they see what they've received and their eyes light up!
5. Hot Chocolate – This is I live on during the winter, but there's something nice about a cup of hot chocolate to add a little christmas cheer. Chuck in a candy cane and it's even more Christmasy!
6. That Christmas tree smell – you know the one I mean. There's nothing like it.
7. Mince Pies – can't decide if I like them or not but that doesn't stop me from eating about a million.
8. Christmas Music – Everyone has a cache of songs they only listen to at Christmas time. "Jingle Bells", "Deck the Halls", "Tis The Season," you know the ones. Everyone has a favorite Christmas song. Mine? "Santa Clause Is Coming to Town"… the Jackson Five version!
9. Christmas Dinner – There's something so nice about having a relaxed day opening presents and then sitting down for a nice meal. The perfect end to a perfect day!
10. Home Alone, Love Actually, Scrooged, The Holiday, The Muppet Christmas Carol… Need I say more?
I hope all my lovely readers have a very merry Christmas!

Make Memories Razor Clam Digging on the Washington Coast
Once the days start getting shorter and the rain returns, outdoor enthusiasts start celebrating a fantastic time to be a Washingtonian. While common sense would assume that the Pacific Northwest slips into a collective feeling of melancholy once the gray skies return, those who have lived in the region for awhile know better. They know it's razor clam season.
The fall months bring some of the more unique activities for those living in the upper left corner of the country and nowhere is this more evident than the Washington coast. Out on the wild stretches of beach along the Pacific Ocean where the heavy rains, strong winds and crashing surf usually send the weekend recreationist back inside, thousands of people drive toward the breaking waves in search of this regional delicacy. Clad in rain gear and hip waders, carrying clam guns and shovels, diggers descend to the sandy shores in hopes of quickly obtaining their limit of delicious razor clams.
Razor clam digging is an important part of life in the Pacific Northwest. For millennia, clams were one of the dependable food sources for those living along the coast. As settlers moved west and located along the coast, clamming became less of a survival food and more of a local favorite. Whether they are fried or in your chowder, razor clams are delicious and taste even better when you dig them yourself. This year, instead of wondering if you and your family will enjoy a clam dig out on the coast, why not try it yourself and create a memorable time along the Washington coast?

Report by Revd Andrew Mukuyamba
African society has for a long time been perceived as a community that takes care of its underprivileged, especially orphans. This perception was correct until the late 1980s, when families could no longer cope with the ever increasing numbers of destitute people. Recently we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of orphans in Zambia due to HIV/AIDS. The statistics are readily available for those interested in them. But statistics are boring — a short case history tells the story better:
In 1993, I came across an elderly lady whose three children had died, leaving her with seven grandchildren to look after. This lady is divorced and has no source of income apart from selling mangoes, other fruits and sometimes roasted groundnuts near a beer hall. She uses the children to sell these items most times, and as a result the children do not attend school. They wake up early in the morning everyday and go to bed late. They spend all their time sitting near this beer hall selling the merchandise. They have to work hard for their food and if possible their clothing. It is like slavery, being an orphan in Africa today. The problem is growing. Everyday more children are orphaned. Many adults are dying of AIDS, leaving small children unable to support themselves or to receive help from relatives. Extended families have no means of sustaining them. With only 180,000 formal employment jobs in a population of 12 million people, the economic situation does not allow them to take extra dependants into their homes.
Nevertheless there is a feeling in some quarters abroad that the orphan problem has no impact on African society because orphans can be looked after by relatives and the best orphan care programme is one in which members of the family are involved. This is false, especially in Zambia today. People who live in the community are always narrating how orphans suffer at the hands of relatives, most of whom have no means to feed extra mouths and are cruel to orphans and do not care about their well-being and future. It is projected that by the year 2010 there will be 1.01 million orphans in Zambia (a very low estimate). Which family will have the capacity to care for them given the current scenario?
In the average family, much money is spent on taking the sick to hospital and, if such people die, the family spends a lot more money on funeral arrangements and burial. In the end the remaining family has no capacity to look after orphans. It is, therefore, not true that the orphan problem can be solved in the family, by the family, or by organisations working with families in a family set-up. Orphans in a family are usually ill-treated and receive little or no food and clothing, and may not even get the minimal education they need for their future. It is only natural that in a situation of poverty, parents put their own children first and any orphans in that family last.
Regrettably, there is now a great need for institutionalised orphan-care programme in Zambia. In view of the strong family focus of Zambian society such orphanages will always be run as much like a family as possible. Non-governmental organisations that are trying hard to set up such care programmes must be encouraged and supported financially, materially, morally and spiritually.
In Zambia we definitely need support to set up good orphanages if we are to give these orphans a chance in life, keep them off the streets and have them grow up in a loving, caring environment.

Networking meeting tonight with Christine (left), FinancialJen (middle) and AJGolden (right). I looked in my bag and found agenda, notebook, folder with handouts. No sketchbook. Panic.
FinancialJen says her website hasn't gone live yet, but her book is almost out. AJGolden is looking to book more massage parties and Christine is going back to Florida for another mural job.
These are busy, busy women.
How do I fit into all this? I'm the visual webdiva.

Hello. I'm in the market for a full hollowbody, I'm a thin line player. I've checked out a few guitars and some threads here and I think it comes down to tone vs. quality at least in my case and wondering if similar people have had same dilemma.
In the past I've owned a nice used Eastman AR903 which is a carved top full hollow with single neck floating pup. I thought the feel and build quality was amazing but the tone was too bright and brittle. I sold that a few years ago and haven't had a full hollow since. Recently I played an Epiphone es175 and used Regent, Emporer 2, D'Angelico EX-DH and EXL1, Peerless gigmaster. I found the cheaper guitars sounded better and the more expensive played and felt better.
My budget is $1k +/- a few. I feel like I want to sacrifice the tone I like for the playability and build quality. The Eastman and the D'Angelico played so well and felt so good in my hands but I'm not in love with there tone. The Epiphones felt not so great and had questionable long term quality to them but sounded great. The Peerless was somewhere in between.
What would you choose when faced with tone vs. build quality?
You might want to check out Guilds. Korean build quality similar to Peerless IMHO. The brightness can be controlled with a decent EQ pedal.
Could it be that the eastman and the d angelico you tried have single coil floater pickups, and are of an acoustic nature, where the epiphone and the peerless had a built in humbucker? And maybe you just prefer the latter sound?
I would personally always choose by tone. Feel can be setup (up to a point), and i don't believe any of the guitars you mentioned are bad enough for problems down the road. If you like a guitars sound, the cheaper the better!
I don't think this is a compromise you have to make.
You just haven't found the right guitar yet.
Something to think about in your quest, tone can be remediated relatively inexpensively, while fixing playability is more expensive.
If you look through this forum much, you'll note so many threads where folks have acquired a guitar for feel/playability of any price point, then immediately swapped out pups and maybe entire electric harnesses for their preferred tone.
And some threads where they bought for tone/quality of builds and then immediately had it setup to their taste by a luthier.
Some things of build/design can't be adjusted, like nut width and neck shape. So that part needs to feel "right" for your hands.
String type and height can vary the playability of a guitar dramatically and a good luthier can do wonders with some guitars.
My old Lyle L5/175 mashup was worked over by a good luthier and my oh my, is it a fine player now. The luthier was grinning with sparkling eyes when he brought it out, said he was very extremely pleased with the results. Played it and one of his custom rigs, and yea, it's nice. With an early T-Top Gibson in neck position I love the sound too.
Sometimes even a full luthier workup can't make enough difference and there's threads of people who had a setup done, re-pupped, and tried to like the results but sold it. And someone else loves that same guitar.
In general I feel more comfortable buying for feel and rebuilding electronics as needed.
And your mileage will ALWAYS vary!

It's far easier to correct a bright tone than an uncomfortable guitar. New amp, new pickups, new speaker or, the cheapest and best option, a good eq pedal. If a guitar feels right, keep it.

For my two cents, the L5CES is the perfect combination of tone/playability. Ithe is, however, expensive.
Guild was recommended above. That's a great combination of tone/playability/price. A full-size Guild like the Stuart is great.

I suppose you can fix anything with enough EQ but it's nice when you can start with a basic tone you like. That and guitar amps have very limited EQ ability so you have to add something outboard increasing the cost and hassle. Amplifying is hard enough without additional challenges.
Hard to find a good hollowbody for $1K. Even used. I had great luck with Yunzhi and Wu guitars. It's been awhile though and I don't know the current state of things. Over time I like the quality of a Korean D'Angelico EX-SS I bought to swap pickups on. That was one of their better models. Don't know about the quality of the Premier line though. You can get an EXL-1 for $400 on Musician's Friend's SDOTD at times. This is both tempting and cautionary. Then there are the Loar models a lot of folks like for a woody tone. Sure there are some here that can fill you in on those.
Doc Dosco (Forum member) has this nice Peerless for sale on Reverb; a little over your budget, but it sure looks nice!
Upgrading pickups can work miracles.
I own a 2014 Ibanez AF125. It is a stunningly beautiful guitar, but I was unimpressed with the cheap Chinese Super 58 Custom pickups. I replaced them with the Bartolini "Jazz Pair" (PBF55/PBF57). They were just what the doctor ordered. The Bartolinis breathed new life into the instrument and now I have a beautiful guitar with beautiful tone.
As far as new guitars go, I am a big fan of Peerless instruments. Very high quality at reasonable prices. I have played a Peerless Gigmaster Jazz and really liked it. Although I decided on the Peerless Monarch 16 ($1400).
With your budget stick with the epiphone 175. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to get it to play real nice. Fret level whatever it takes still within your budget.
Wait until you find the one you bond with. Get the one that makes you want to play it more. For me that's usually the feel and build quality. Tone can always be modified with parts and electronics upgrades. Plus you will be able to spread out those costs is you spread them out over time vs doing them all at once. I typically do this with my guitars. My Córdoba flamenco is the only one I haven't modded out (outside shaving the bottom of the saddle to lower the action).
Thank you all for input. I think some of you have confirmed what I already was feeling, which is I need it to feel right, I need it to feel up to my personal quality standards, and I need it to play this way over time. The Epiphone 175 did not feel quality at all and that was a real front runner for me. The D'Angelico EX-DH felt most comfortable and durable so it's a mattter of finding the right used one to fit my budget. I did find one but when I went back it was gone.
Someone mentioned my my preference to set dual humbuckers a and that definitely is the case but I didn't want to rule out other possibilities, like the Epiphone regent I played, I really liked it but it was lacking in quality. I foresee another trip to GnJazz to play the gigmaster again, it seems to check off a lot of boxes but the one I played there had super light roundwound strings and I could not get a good feel for the guitar. I like flat wound 12's and I think it makes a huge difference when trying a guitar.
Btw my main and only electric guitar is a Gibson es335. It feels absolutely right and sounds exactly how I want my sound. If I could only find this again but without wasting all those years looking!
Sorry, I didn't think about your budget in my response. A Guild is going to burn right through $1K.

I do feel that an Epi ES175 Premium is the best bang for the buck that you will find. But it does need to be the Premium, not the basic model.

I think playability and tone are inextricably linked. Low action plays well, but may not sound as good. High action can sound great, but is hard to play. I can set up a 5th Avenue very quickly. I lowered the polepieces on my P90 a bit and set the action at medium height to dial in the tone.

And OP seemed like he had a set group of instruments he had narrowed his choices down to. But if you want to consider the 5th Avenue, it's a great guitar.
I came here to say "no need to compromise" and suggest a used Heritage 575, but after checking Ebay, it looks like the days of getting one of those for just a little over your budget is over.
So I'll say save a little more and look for a used Gibson 165.
I think it's something of a false dichotomy. Most of us have tonal ranges that will work for us and feature sets that are most likely to be comfortable. It's like a Venn diagram: anything inside the intersection of those two sets can probably work for us, anything outside that intersection probably can't.

Thin line... tone... build quality... budget constraints?
I'd look for a Soloway on Reverb and JUMP on it. You won't regret it.
The guitars you list are
Eastman AR903 (?, I think you meant 905) --carved top with floating pickup
D'Angelico EX-DH -- laminated top with 2 set-in pickups
D'Angelico EXL-1 -- pressed top with floating pickup
Epiphone Emperor Regent -- pressed top with floating pickup
Epiphone - ES 175 laminated top with 2 set-in pickups
Peerless Gigmaster -- laminated top with 2 set-in pickups
On top of the differences in top/pickup differences there are also differences in other materials, scale length and body dimensions. You can't take that collection of models and draw any conclusions about a relationship between price and tone. I'd add that if you're defining quality in terms of durability (as you seem to be doing), they're all good guitars that will last as long as you're likely to need a guitar to last. These days, above a certain fairly low price point (around $400), there are no bad bad guitars. There may be guitars you don't like for various reasons and/or you may wind up changing some components on a guitar, but build quality is highly unlikely to be a problem.
Keep trying guitars until you find one that has the right sound and feel for you. If it's $500, don't worry. If it's $1000, don't worry. Based on the sound you seem to prefer, stick to laminated tops with set-in pickups. I'd add Eastman AR371 and Ibanez Akjv90 (or 95, same thing with slight cosmetic differences) to the list. Both are great sounding, great playing guitars in similar tone spaces to ones on your list you say you like. I play a Godin 5th Ave Kingpin (great, absurdly cheap guitar).
See if you can find an Ibanez AFC-95 to try. I own one and for $700 it's a good deal. Richie Zellon ranked it at #2 on his list of top 10 jazz guitars for under $1k. I purchased mine before he did his reviews. I have the natural finish model which has a flat finish and to me feels like a high quality acoustic with that warm natural feel. It has 2 floating pickups. It's not flashy looking, but it's nice. It has figured maple sides and back with a spruce top. It came with chrome 11's and I've moved up to TI Swings in 13. I play it through a 20 year old Peavey Classic 30 and I can get any sound I want or need. I believe there's a couple other members here who own one. It's a fairly newer model. I believe it debuted in 2017?
So I've made a purchase and I'm pretty happy so far. Thanks for everyone's input, it helped clarify my decision process. I wound up with a Peerless Monarch. I found I love the tone from every clip I watched. While I didn't play a Monarch before purchase, I played the gigmaster and Cremona while searching and the Monarch has the same feel they had. I found it used so it was right in my budget.
In in the end it was a compromise, but not a major one. It doesn't feel as perfect as some other guitars I own or have owned but it feels very good. It sounds absolutely fantastic, not amazing but fantastic. I think it comes down to doing your homework and finding the best deals!
I've been know to pimp the out of production but easily available used Ibanez af85.
I have a vintage ES-345 tdw that i never play, due to the neck feel and boat anchor weight. I also owned and fairly quickly sold both a Godin Jazz and an Eastman AR803ce-16. The Godin was beautifully constructed and felt terrific, but wasn't the right sound, for me. The Eastman was closer to what I was hunting for but still didn't quite deliver. After parting with those two, I took a chance on a used Epi ES-175 reissue (non Premium) and after a very budget-minded upgrade of wiring and PU, it sounds better and feels better than those previous two archtops for around a quarter of the price. It's not nearly as nicely put together as the Godin and it's not as sexy as the Eastman but it begs to be played. That's what matters to me. Price/Pedigree be damned.

About the JBC Elite Baseball Camps
The JBC Elite Baseball Camps are one-of-a-kind camps designed to help the players become athletic pitchers and hitters. All players who attend our camps receive hands on instruction as well as a Personalised Throwing or Hitting Plan to take home.
Our camps consist of 5 hour sessions on each day over 3 days. Our camps are not only for experienced players. We want to instil elite training on all players regardless of their starting level. We allow 5 hours each day as we believe the concentration span of children aged between 9-15 disappears after 5 hours, and after that training becomes just about motions and their mind is elsewhere.
This is not a One-Size-Fits-All Camp
At all JBC Elite Baseball Camps your child will be viewed "Unique". Your child will be viewed "One of a Kind". Cause let's face it, there is no one like them. That is why we do not believe that One-Size-Fits-All Training is good for any player. Every child has different Mobility, Flexibility, Strength, Stability, Motivation...and the list goes on. So why would we put every child on the same program, same drills, same everything if they are different to everyone else.
At the JBC Elite Baseball Camps, your child will have his or her own Customised Plan moving forward, their own drills to help them get to the next level. The Video Analysis will let them see just how their body is moving and in what areas they need to improve on.
Is your child SUFFERING from arm pain or Shoulder Pain?
Unfortunately this is a common situation these days. If your child is suffering from Arm Pain or Shoulder Pain then register them in one of our Elite Pitchers & Catchers Camps and the JBC Staff will diagnose the reasons for their Arm Pain and come up with a Personalised Plan to eliminate the pain. The most common answer to Arm Pain is rest. This by far is one of the worst things that you could do. Resting your arm will not get rid of the pain, finding out what the cause of the pain is will.

Zooka & Coach Pitch Players :
If you played or are playing Zooka or Coach Pitch this year, we want to help you get ready for the summer baseball season. As we all know it is a big step for a child to take to go from not worrying about throwing in a strike zone then all of a sudden having to throw in a strike zone. Instead of being thrown into the deep end when the season begins, we want to help you get better prepared so you can get a head start into Live Ball Pitching.
Numerous times we have seen an inexperienced pitcher walk to the mound in their first year of Live Ball without any proper training or instructions from their coaches. Expecting an inexperienced pitcher to throw strikes on a consistent basis is very unrealistic. The JBC Staff will guide you in understanding the core principles of Pitching.
Rookie Live & Little League Players :
If you have just started playing Live Ball or you are playing Little League we want to help you gain more experience and more confidence in becoming an elite pitcher. We will help you to throw more dynamically and more explosive with the body and guide you through Arm Care Protocols.
The most common things we see in first and second year Live Ball is that the pitcher has bad throwing patterns and are taught a One-Size-Fits-All Pitching Delivery. The coach will work with the pitcher over the course of the year but most times increasing and escalating bad habits. The first step to becoming a good pitcher...is to become a Great Thrower!
Junior League & Senior League Players :
If you have been pitching for some years now and you are behind your peer group in Velocity and Command the JBC Staff can help you. If you are struggling with Command, we can show you how to train yourself to have better command.
Are you lacking in Velocity? We can help you increase your Velocity in a safe manner all along maintaining Arm Care & Durability. If you have severe disconnections we will help you clean these up so you are able to take on Velocity training.
If you can't get a real grip of your Off-Speed pitches, we will guide you through all of them and even show you some new variations. Certain grips shown by coaches aren't for every player. JBC will help you figure out which grip suits you most.
Hitting & Fielding
Tee Ball - Senior League Players
Do you want to learn how to crush a ball through the infield or over the fence? Do you want to learn how to be a more dynamic infielder or outfielder? JBC Coaches can help you.
Over the years we have seen batters step into the batting box with un-athletic batting stances, swinging the bat with their arms, moving their heads, incorrect grips, fielders not moving with the pitch, standing with their hands on their knees, not backing up, losing sight of the ball and not tracking the ball.
At our camps, we put all of this into the process so the outcomes take care of themselves.
Our highly qualified coaches will teach you how to hit the ball hard with an athletic swing, get the bat on the plane of the ball quickly, grip the bat correctly, swing to toe and the correct fundamentals.
Parents And Guardians
At all JBC Elite Baseball Camps you are welcome to join in, hang around and ask questions any time of the day. When we go through the Video Analysis you are invited to sit in with us and take down notes as much as you like. Parents and Guardians are ALWAYS welcome at a JBC Camp.
Cancellations & Refunds
Please note we DO NOT provide refunds on registrations. However, we will provide a credit for future camps.
Camps are only cancelled in extreme weather conditions. If this occurs, Camps will be rescheduled for a later date. All attendees will be informed via email, SMS, JBC Website and Social Media Accounts. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled days you will have credit for future camps.
Customised Gift Certificates
Gift Certificates are available for all of our Elite Baseball Camps.
A gift certificate for one of Elite Baseball Camps is a great gift idea for your child, grand child, niece or nephew. What would be better than the gift of learning!?
When you register, simply send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com asking for a Gift Certificate and we will send one through to you.

Building A Perfect Evening
What would be in your perfect evening? Last night might not have been "perfect" btu, well… I'll let the pictures do the talking.
Eating out? Good. Eating somewhere with a huge array of choices? Better. Trying new and exciting things? Best. I think I want to try to make falafels now, because these were my first taste, and while they were good, they weren't the best. But that tamarind chutney. WOW. I wish I took note of the ingredients besides onion and raisins because it was amazing.
I have to admit this is one of my favorite movies, so I went ahead and popped it in for the night. I still remember trudging through snow in Boston with friends to see it at the movies. I think it comforts me that Cameron Diaz's character might just be crazier and more high-strung than me. And if Jack Black can get a girl like Kate Winslet, well there's hope for everyone.
You haven't had ice cream until you've had homemade. The gluten-free birthday cake didn't come out quite like I hoped for(probably needs more sugar). But I'd rather have a decent birthday cake flavor that's gluten-free than an excellent one that's not. And chocolate chips–of course.
Who says vegan buttercream has to be just for cakes? It tastes just as good on a Newman's Own Organic's 54% dark chocolate bar. I was looking for cream cheese but we didn't have any. Next thought: buttercream. The day you discover the how to make a really fast buttercream with be the first day of the rest of your life.
And now we're back to realty… sort of, with oatmeal, Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter(aka, better Nutella butter), and a Fage with pineapple and brown sugar.
Pineapple Chobani, eat your heart out.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 13 so far )
I'm The MacGyver Of Baking
Yesterday, my parents went to see our relatives while I stayed home studying. My aunt, ever-thoughtful, sent back some cupcakes for me. It was really thoughtful; but there was something that worried us. If you asked her what they were, she'd say "organic, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free…" the list goes on. She did the same when I made my cousin these cupcakes. And they didn't seem gluten-free. In fact, after a little investigating, it seemed likely they weren't and she just got confused. Well I was OK with that and letting my family have them. Except then I wanted cake. I really wanted cake.
I broke out the Sweet Utopia cookbook sent to me by Book Publishing Co. and flipped open to the first recipe in the book: a simple chocolate cake. Perfect. I made a few alterations to the recipe(switching to gluten-free flours, almond milk for soy milk, and olive oil for canola oil), and 28 minutes later I brought life into this world.
Isn't she a cutie? But I wanted cake fast so I cut a slice and stuck it in the fridge to cool quickly. While that was cooling, I made a 2-minute buttercream frosting by mixing earth balance, powdered sugar, and vanilla powder in a small dish with a fork. It was almost too easy.
I went from thinking I'd have a chocolate bar for dessert(but not really happy with that) to 1 hour later having a vegan, gluten-free chocolate cake with vegan buttercream frosting all with whatever ingredients I had on hand. I think that qualifies me to be the MacGyver of baking.
After that excitement, I just couldn't sleep; this happens almost every Saturday night and it's so annoying. I figure this last time just might be because of my last final. But I definitely needed more fuel than usual for the 2+ hours I was awake. I'm not even sure when I got to bed, but this morning I stumbled out of bed late and just hungry.
I'm still trying to find out the secret to making a really amazing maple peanut butter. It's harder than you'd think! And the secret ingredient is not coconut oil as it turns out. Oh well. This bowl was still really good with crunchy maple butter. And now I'm eating a Chobani as if it were a parfait–not stirring the jam up first. It's pretty good this way.
What do you hate most about restless nights? In the time I'm awake, all I can think about is the stuff I could have done with that time rather than lie in a dark room and toss and turn. And here's a fun chocolate giveaway to enter.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 12 so far )
Easter 2010
All this post made me want was cheese. I don't eat cheese much but when I do, God, do I love cheese. I'm not even sure I understand the bastardization of it in the first place. It's milk processed with enzymes to the point of having little to no lactose. Sure, let's all bastardize Velveeta, but then again I wouldn't call that real "cheese" to begin with. Real cheese is an art.
Keeping the theme of the night "raw", I had some of Next Generation's Dairy organic raw garlic parsley cheddar cheese. Soooo good *drools*. And if you were to tell me something about this complete protein with organic dairy fat and raw enzymes wasn't healthy, I wouldn't believe you. Skip the Velveeta and stuff yourselves with this. By the way, it scares me that my spell check finds nothing wrong with "Velveeta", but type "kombucha" and let the red squiggles go flying!
I was surprisingly hungry right when I woke up. Instead of running, I made myself breakfast and started food prep. Hot cross buns have nothing on french toast oatmeal. Yum! And dark chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter–whatever you put on a pomegranate Chobani tastes delicious.
Finally I was ready to run after we went to Easter Mass. For some quick energy I had a raw vegan brownie with coconut oil schmeared on top. I don't know if it was this sudden heat wave, improper hydration, or too much casein at breakfast, but the first bit of running was definitely uncomfortable.
Eventually, I got into my groove and did 9.5 miles around the neighborhood at a great pace. I refueled with a banana while I showered, cooked more, and waited for the relatives to arrive. Among my dishes was my Irawnic Salad
Doesn't that look amazing? I finally got around to making my own and it was heavenly. I can't wait to make this recipe more often. It was so simple, too!
- 2 bunches organic kale
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 1/2-2 avocadoes
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 cup cashews roasted with sea salt
In a bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice and vinegar.Massage the kale until well coated. Top with diced red onion and salty cashews. Dear Lord, is this good. It's "irawnic" because the salad is completely raw except for the roasted salted cashews. I like to think of it like the fatty bacon slices in an otherwise "healthy" salad 😉 and that's why it's ironic.
There was so much good food. But I never feel pressure to eat much differently at holidays than on regular days. In fact, I make it a point to choose 3 things, and just eat those. Since there is always leftovers, I know I'll be seeing all of this for the next few days, and that way it's like each meal is "new".
For my plate, I had irawnic salad, roasted parmesan cauliflower, and maple baked tofu. Yum! This was perfect and just what I needed to eat. The salad I think was a hit; even the maple tofu got a few fans among the meat eaters. There was no love lost hereon skipping the ham(at this meal, at least). I had seconds on the salad and tofu.
Dessert was easiy my favorite part 🙂 Since my relatives are always down for Easter, we also celebrate my birthday with them.I was very particular about my cake, but that made it just the perfect thing when it came out. It was Bob's Red Mill gluten-free vanilla cake made with 3 organic eggs and coconut oil instead of canola. The frosting was a vegan buttercream made with earth balance and on the side was a little organic coconut shreds.
It was dreamy. Seriously, this was one of the best cakes I've ever had. And I think everyone else shared that sentiment. It was perfectly sweet and moist, and you would never thing twice about the "gluten-free" texture. Bob did me well for my birthday 😀 On the side was a scoop of dairy/soy-free So Delicious coconut milk vanilla bean ice cream. Between the cake and the ice cream, vanilla beans were flying everywhere!
A few screaming cousins, Disney World slide shows, and pots of coffee later, I made a raw snack plate. I figured the salad wouldn't really keep well, so I'd have those leftovers first On the side was some cantaloupe and honeydew melon, all covered in sea salt. Glorious.
I was supposed to go back to school tonight, but the day totally wiped all of us out: Church, cooking, cleaning, little cousins, etc. Not to mention I wasn't packed and there were leftovers bursting out of the fridge Instead, we mustered up the strength for a small Whole Foods run and then leftovers for dinner.
Now the ham makes an appearance. It's from Whole Foods, so it's completely natural and nitrate-free. The best part of this meal was purposely avoiding these 3 and other foods at lunch so that it didn't even feel like leftovers! Admit it: You wouldn't have known if I didn't mention it 😉
Well, my Easter rocked. How about yours? If you posted it on your blog and I didn't comment, I promise I read it. I was on and off my computer all day catching up with things when I was allowed a break from being the 3 wheel on the Wii. Like I said, there's so much I want to and have to do before I can think about school again, even though Spring Break ends now 😦 Perhaps I'll make a chronographic list! That's one mental health tip that's never out of style.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 24 so far )

Just about everyone on planet earth has sounded off on "Operation Varsity Blues," a detailed effort on the part of wealthy parents to manipulate their children's chances of entering elite universities via bribes, the retroactive manipulation of SAT scores, and a false declaration of athletic status. Fuller House star Lori Loughlin and Academy Award nominee Felicity Huffman are both in jail as a result. I have nothing new to say of any value, but I would like to point out a video with Lori Loughlin and her daughter which initially troubled me, and it has now been put into a greater context.

The United States is gearing up to welcome many more entrepreneurs from outside of its borders. The chief of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said the country has several initiatives aimed to attract and retain technologically-savvy immigrant entrepreneurs, thereby sparking growth in the country's economy.
The decision was made because more and more software entrepreneurs are taking their company to other countries due to the difficulty to obtain temporary work visas and permanent residency in the United States.
The plan will not require congress to change current immigration law, instead it will clarify existing visa categories to allow more entrepreneurs to lawfully enter the country through a quicker and more efficient visa-application process.
One idea is to make the qualifications for green cards, or permanent resident cards, easier to obtain if the individual can show that their work will benefit the country. Another idea is to allow entrepreneurs to get work visas without already having a job offer at an established company.
Citizenship and Immigration Services also plans to encourage the use of H-1Bs visas amongst foreign entrepreneurs. For example, a sole entrepreneur will be eligible for an H-1B if his or her employment is granted by a corporate board or shareholders of the start-up company.
Additionally, the EB-5 investor program will see changes, giving investors and their families the chance to be qualified for green cards if $500,000 is invested in a project which creates at least ten employee positions.
Finally, the approval process for the green card application is expected to be faster, with the agency hiring people to evaluate applications and allowing petitioners to present themselves before a panel if the application needs further evidence.
The Citizenship and Immigration Services official said the agency will train employees on how the new clarifications apply to the entrepreneurs. The measures are expected to welcome tens of thousands of start-up businesses and their entrepreneurs, which could provide the country with hundreds of thousands of potential jobs.
These clarifications in the immigration policy for foreign entrepreneurs present an excellent time to come to America to start up your own business. Talk to an attorney who specializes in business and employment-based immigration for more information.

Iraq's Sadr Movement says it would take up arms against US troops, if Washington fails to honor an agreement requiring it to withdraw all its forces from Iraq by December 31, 2011.
"We [the Sadr movement] will do our best … to refuse these troops … by protests and by military works," says Salah al-Obeidi, a spokesman for the Sadr Movement, adding that "[the movement's leader] Muqtada al-Sadr has further said that we will not leave our weapons if the Americans stay in Iraq after 2011."
"If the American troops stay in Iraq … We will do our best to press or to put further number of our fighters to kill them," he added.
Washington has reportedly offered Baghdad to keep up to 10,000 US forces in Iraq for at least another year. On Tuesday, the Iraqi parliamentarians petitioned the government against extending the US military presence in the country.
The appeal, signed by 100 lawmakers, warns Baghdad against the dire consequences of the continued deployment of the American troops beyond the December 31, 2011 deadline stipulated in the US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement.
The US invaded Iraq in 2003 under the pretext of destroying alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) belonging to the executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime.
However, it was later found that the country did not possess any WMDs at the time and that the US and Britain, which led the invasion, were well-aware of the non-existence of such weapons in Iraq.
Over one million Iraqis have been killed as a result of the occupation, according to a study by the credible British polling group, Opinion Research Business.
