Survey Shows Londoners Are A Crabby Bunch
Originally published on Wed July 25, 2012 8:12 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Londoners may be crabbing about tourists and traffic of Olympic proportions, but they were already the most stressed out bunch in the country. That's according to a new government survey on life satisfaction. Statistically the most joyful Brit would be a married professional, healthy, 65 and residing in the Scottish Isles, prompting one unhappy opposition leader to call the survey, quote, "a waste of taxpayer money on the bleeding obvious." It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Dear Guitar Hero: Eric Johnson
Why are there no string trees on the new signature Strat? —Ben Ford
String trees hinder a guitar's ability to stay in tune, but they're necessary because of the headstock's pitch— that is, the degree to which the headstock is tilted. We changed the pitch slightly, which, in combination with the staggered tuning keys, allowed us to eliminate the trees. As a result, you can actually use the guitar's vintage tremolo system a small amount without the guitar going out of tune.Rosewood or maple fretboards, and why? —Frank Stokes
Maple seems to have a purer fundamental tone, and that's what I generally use, though I think rosewood has a better rhythm tone for complex harmonics. I own one rosewood Strat, and I like it.
What is in your rig? —Nikili Kite
It's very simple. I have three amp setups that produce tones ranging from really clean to very saturated, though I never use them all at once. The first setup consists of two Fender Twins with a Princeton Chorus stereo chorus. The second is a Marshall 100-watt set around 7.5 to 8 on the first channel for a Keith Richards–style crunch rhythm. I have a Fuzz Face on there, so I can also kick into a Hendrix-style sound. The third setup is a Marshall with a Tube Driver, for extra saturation; the Marshall's volume is all the way up, and the EQ is set for a classic Clapton tone. Occasionally, I use a CryBaby wah with any of these, but I run it through a rack.
Given your penchant for vintage Strats, how do you manage extraneous noise at high-gain levels? —Anonymous
The noise is pretty bad. I don't like it, but you have to pick your poison. I've chosen to wrestle the beast, but I would really like to slay it. I'm working with Fender's Michael Braun to create a hum-canceling pickup that sounds like a singlecoil. I think he may well crack that nut. In the meantime, the middle pickup on my signature Strat is wrapped differently from the other two, and I can always use it if the noise is overwhelming.
You're famous for obsessing about your tone. Have you learned to relax and let the music and ideas flow and let go of the technical stuff?—Mike Kretz
I've gotten better. There is certain music I would like to advance and implement on guitar, and pulling it off is a real challenge, so it's hard not to obsess over it. If you want to make the guitar into a sustaining, ferocious sound, you have to use distortion, which is a beautiful thing, but it creates all sort of problems. Having said that, I'm not obsessing as much as I used to.
You have a very unique style. Who were your prime influences? —Paul Chase
When I was a kid, my dad played all types of music. It ingrained in me the idea that all music has something to offer. If you listen to the spirit behind the music, you can connect the dots between players like John McLaughlin, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery…not to mention Mozart, Debussy and Gershwin. They were all big influences to me.
I was amazed by the cascading harmonics you demonstrated on your instructional video. What is the origin of this delicate technique and how long did it take to master it? —Charles Manthy
I don't know the origin, but [seven-string jazz fingerstyle guitarist] Lenny Breau made it popular, and that's where I got it, though someone may well have done it before him. As for mastering it, it's an ongoing process, especially if you change the harmonics' voicing. Just break it down and take it step by step.
How did you get that fantastic liquid tone on "Cliffs of Dover," and was that one cohesive solo or an amalgam? —J. Paradis
I played a Gibson ES-335 through a 100-watt Marshall. I put it all together by playing sections, then dropping them in and connecting them into a seamless whole.
During the Seventies, you and Stevie Ray Vaughan were Austin's primary guitar slingers. Was there a lot of competition between you? —Stephen Hung
No. We were playing different kinds of music. I always enjoyed hearing Stevie and his group play. It was nice to have him around in the clubs. You could go see him every night, and his greatness was readily apparent.

On and Off the Grid
What Is Jazz Now?
SS: Two names: Dave Brubeck and Don Ellis. There's lots of talk today about "what jazz is supposed to be." There are "illusives" who believe jazz is supposed to be one thing only because they want to control it; financially, culturally. That is not what jazz ever was. If jazz is supposed to be only one thing, then it probably was only supposed to be what the music of Louis Armstrong was and stopped there. Jazz is extremely flexible. It has changed many times over the years and now we are in an era with no real style to be named. I strongly believe that we've moved beyond what used to be defined as eras into an era of highly individualized jazz. Certain sectors of our community wish for jazz to be only one thing. They've set up their museums for what jazz is supposed to be and it's important to have that, but there are recordings of the originals. As to time signatures, what many people don't know is not only was there a Don Ellis and a Paul Desmond but, in free jazz, there was Bill Dixon 's jazz Composer's Guild. Those musicians met weekly and discussed eliminating time signatures and bar lines. That was in 1964!
DM: Just because it's improvisation, is it jazz?
SS: To me, "jazz" is a world music that is flexible and always growing. Improvising has been around a lot longer than jazz itself. It was jazz though that brought improvisation back into western culture. Musicians now are exploring all that is available to them as improvisers. Traditional jazz (swing, bebop) being one aspect. And because improvisation is an important part of jazz, people who improvise with no jazz background or approach get lumped together with those that started in jazz and branched out and incorporated other techniques. There is even a case to be made of new generations coming up simultaneously learning traditional jazz improvising and other kinds of improvising. It is just where we are with the information that is available. The main criterion for me in all this is depth of feeling: Soul. Depth of curiosity, making the music interesting. Today we have the choice to stay in strict accordance with one definition of it or whether you want to use all of music's rich languages to create your own identity which is what jazz or a life spent in any music should be about. Then, there are the fans that listen to our music to be surprised by it and have it take them wherever their hearts and minds let them. Fans, and musicians will move the music forward, or backwards or skywards or around the corner or wherever it wants to go, never worrying about what to call it.
Very strong statements from Steve.
Here's another point of view from guitarist extraordinaire, Joe Giglio , who has worked in duo settings with every guitar great on the planet.
DM: The illusive "they" are always talking about moving the music forward. Do you think by adding electronics such as wah-wahs, loops, computers, distortion, etc. is helping do that?
Joe Giglio: Not really, Dom. I believe that people are what truly move the music forward. Any stimulus, be it sunshine, electronic effects, one's musical collaborators, the way an instrument feels on a particular day, etc, can have an effect on how/what one plays. My belief, by which I musically live, is that if one is in the moment, then so is the musicmoment after moment, after moment...
DM: Is there a place for electronics in jazz?
JG: Yes. Some of the most beautiful and soulful music I have ever heard is Stevie Wonder 's recording, "Super Woman." He uses analog synths and traditional rhythm section instruments together, in the most musical and expressive manner. While it was not jazz, it's relevance to your question is thus: If one plays with feeling, that feeling will come through the music regardless of genre played, or instrument used.
DM: Some musicians are using odd time signatures ( 7/8, 11/8/ 13/8); is that really what jazz is suppose to be?
JG: If they are feeling those fractions, greatIf they are using them because that is the prevailing trend, not so much.
DM: Just because it's improvisation, is it jazz?
JG: No. One might ask, if "Just because it is improvisation, is it flamenco, blues, Bach in his day, Indian classical music, etc?" jazz does stand out in our musical culture because improvisation is a key component. Though one might also ask, "If it is jazz, is it improvised?" Sadly, the answer can often be no.
Short and right to the point the way I like it.
Guitar great Ed Cherry , who earned his bones working with Dizzy Gillespie, has something to say, too.
DM: The illusive "they" are always talking about moving the music forward. Do you think by adding electronics such as wah-wahs, loops, distortion etc. is helping do that?
Ed Cherry: If it's done with taste, restraint and good sound, then I'm all for it.
DM: Is there a place for electronics in jazz?

if so, who's getting it tomorrow? :o
if so, who's getting it tomorrow? :o
I thought it was shipping in September? or are you talking about the US?
it's being released this week in the US
but it seems at different times... today was a date but im not sure if it got pushed back :square:
I'd really like to know when I can go get it. Today? Tomorrow?
Also, I really wish more companies would do 'electronic delivery' similiar to Steam and lower the prices around $20 for this method. I'd gladly pay $29.99 for nothing but a key. I don't like/need the packaging anyway.
my pre-release order from gamestop says its being shipped today. not sure if its right though.
yeah eb/gamestop say it's today.. i called my local eb and htey said htey didn't know when they were getting it in.. he said "probably wed."my pre-release order from gamestop says its being shipped today. not sure if its right though.
my gamestop said tomorrow
they actually just changed my order status from September 11th to within 24 hours lol. if i remember last preorder from gamestop it just kinda showed up but was before you could get in the stores by a day or 2.
Hopefully today:
Well i thought the release date is 14th for US/Can. Game tells me ships 29th.. =/ You lucky americans/canadians
I made a game! :D Clicky!
Well, ship date dates and street dates are often too different things. Some publishers will even ship the game early to stores, but require that they not sell it to an official street date. This is done more often with enormous titles such as Halo2 etc, where they are expective massive sale through the first few days.
Usually, there is no official street date. The game gets shipped on a particular day, often monday, and then it shows up the next day or two at the EB and Gamestop type store, followed by shipping to more mainstream stores like Bestbuy, Target, etc the next 3 to 5 days.
The only real question is if today is the ship date, and if there is a official street date that the retailers are held too. From what I have heard talking to my friend who works at EB, there is not official street date, so its all about when the game gets shipped. If its today, then the specialty store in the US will have copies by tommorow in many places, wednesday at latest.
Interesting d0m1n0, no Fry's around here. Wonder if Best Buy or CompUSA would also have it on shelfs by 4pm...
Jesus! Weird Amazon says:
German Amazon.de Website :
Company of Heroes
29. September 2006
Amazon.com Website :
Company of Heroes
Release Date: September 11, 2006
Availability: Usually ships within 1 to 2 weeks. Ships from and sold by Amazon.com.
Amazon, :yas:
Soldier of Destiny - Axis; Blitzkrieg Tree
If Fry's is running that deal, I will have to got get my copies there. Heck, its 10 bucks less on top of coming out today!!!! I know where I need to go after work today!
Nevermind, if you look at that ad better it says, 'ALL TITLES AVAILABLE TUE 9/12/06'
If you see the star, it said that its available today at 4 depeding on manifacturer. So if Relic or whoever is the distributer for Fry's has shipped it, they may well have it today. My guess is that they are willing to take a loss on the game to get people in the door and look at other stuff. Its common for larger retailers like Fry's and Best Buy to do that. EB and Gamestop make their $$ off of game sales, so they can't afford to cripple their game sales the same way to get people in the door.
doh! You're right, I didn't even see that.Originally Posted by FL-
Tomorrow will be a good day for me. My Conroe X6800 comes in and so does COH. Woot! :baloons:
EBGames and Gamestop both have it listed as shipping in 24 hours. This means that any store that gets new releases on day one should have the game tomorrow...
Sooo if you can get it tomorrow (maybe) then when can I get it Germany...?
I'm picking up my copy tomorrow (Sep. 12th) at my local EB Games. (btw I'm up in Canada).
gamestop JUST SAID on their site it was "Arrives 9/11".. i just checked and it's now changed to "shipping now"
Just a note for Europeans; your release date is September 29th.
My just shipped from ebgames, hope it wont take to many days until it reaches me here in sweden (ya, i live in europe)
Company of Heroes 1 Shipped xxxxxxxxxxxx $49.99
i will laugh my ass off and be pissed off at the same time if ebgames doesn't have it tomorrow.. they are so backwards i wont be surprised
Local GameStop says I can pick mine up tomorrow... whee!
Noticed that on some sites too..Just a note for Europeans; your release date is September 29th.
Who had that great idea?!
Yes,,, realy great idea. Only looser will be Relic or who ever makes money selling pc games.
supply and demand... probably couldn't make enough to supply america and europe
so the 2nd batch of boxes goes to europe
I'm just pissed off @ futureshop. They said they will have it today and now it says out of stock! EB gets it stock tomorrow and thursday, So I'm hoping they have it tomorrow.
As a European, I had long ago resigned myself to the later release date. As a result, I'm not phased by our cousins recieving it first.
Really. Really... T__T; *sob*
Thread cleaned up.
Brinkman, do not post in this thread again.
I never understood those different releasedates for different continents.. Why not just delay a game until you can release it worldwide at the same time? Nobody will ever know you delayed it, and everybody would be happy getting to play the game at the same time.. Now it only frustrates people they have to wait a few more weeks while others accross the pond are already playing it..
Why don't publishers get this??
Well, chances are they plan on that orginally, and so they set the release date worldwide to say (for example) september 11th.I never understood those different releasedates for different continents.. Why not just delay a game until you can release it worldwide at the same time? Nobody will ever know you delayed it, and everybody would be happy getting to play the game at the same time.. Now it only frustrates people they have to wait a few more weeks while others accross the pond are already playing it..
Why don't publishers get this??
But due to shortage of games, they have to either A, push back everyones release date and then off everyone, or B, push back europe release date and then off only the europeans....
Why europe? I assume its because america and canada probably buys many more games and demand is much higher.
If you've noticed their accuracy (scoutcars), it's almost as if the gunner has a death wish or has made a bet with Klaus over who can shoot more bullets into the ground than the enemy.
I really doubt it's because of a shortage of games, because they're not going to be shipped across the Atlantic Ocean anyway but pressed and printed in Europe.
"Also, I really wish more companies would do 'electronic delivery' similiar to Steam and lower the prices around $20 for this method. I'd gladly pay $29.99 for nothing but a key. I don't like/need the packaging anyway."
Yes and yes. Not only is the price a bit better and I don't need the packaging, but the territory I live in wont be getting this game until end of Sept./Early Oct. If we had to download the rather large demo, the full version isn't a biggie.
from past experience with ebgames chances are they will NOT have it tomorrow. although Best Buy has them already and will be on sale tomorrow morning, oh the joys of working there.. already have mine laid aside in the warehouse
Which is true, so that's not the issue.. Imho it should be little trouble to coordinate a global launch at the same time.. Wait until all territories are ready to release.. The gamesindustry is a global business, so they should think globally..Originally Posted by Druidika
But anyway, at least we Europeans can read all the reviews etc before we (can) buy and play it.. I just hope they don't shut down the MP demo so we won't have anything to play for 2 weeks..
If EB doesn't have it, I'll be off to Best Buy or Future Shop.
Either way some store better have it by tomorrow.:Pirate:
Aw man, I preordered through GoGamer (to get the free DoW: Gold Ed) and their website says it isn't shipping until 9/25, what's up with that?
I called a few EB stores around my city (toronto) and they said they would have it by tomorrow. Usually they are reliable.
one more day...
My local Future Shop has a flyer saying this Wednesday. I've also seen a release date of this Thursday. Either way, I'll most likely get it on Friday, which is payday for me.
The other possibilities for later release could be alot of the non-english support stuff. For north america, the manuals, text, etc only need to be done in english. In Europe, you are looking at quiet a few differnt language versions.
Well Future Shop gets their stock on Wednesdays and Fridays. I went to EB @ Yorkdale and they said they should be getting it stock tomorrow so they better have it tomorrow.
Tomorrow would be nice, but it won't matter for me. The earliest for me is payday this Friday. Ah well, adding those extra skirmish maps to the demo will tide me over until then.
EB in Kitchener told me tomorrow as well! :guitar:
EB in Winnipeg told me tommorow also!! 1 more day!:yippee:
Cant wait!!!!:cranky:

| We're running out of helium. This is a great idea, but it's also a bad one. Go back to the drawing board, guys. I'm amazed at how many uses helium has. I'd rather we save it for medical/scientific research instead of hard drive production or birthday party balloons. Don't get me wrong, I'd sell my grandmother for a 7TB hard drive. |

| This just adds fuel to the fire that HAMR technology is not ready for prime time, and neither is this R&D grasping at straws for a releaseable product in less than 2 years.. at which time the 7 BILLION DOLLAR chip plant samsung is building will be making 10nm flash chips capable of superceding all current hard drive technology in FLASH SSD!! So, the hard drive industy is really at a crossroads.. either gamble on HAMR technology & pony up the 5 billion to build a plant OR seek financing to go TOE TO TOE with the 10nm chip process and just make SSDs... all of which WILL be more expensive at first, so.. $450 4tb SSD drives are not out of the question (at least the ones that can get 500 - 700MB/second transfer rate). We'll expect drives to be made which are "SLOWER" in the range of 125mb to 250mb to be about half price... as this will be more reasonable and able to pay off the R&D cost over 5 years.. BTW, there is massive rampant speculation on which way the hard drive companies will go.. besides, if HAMR hard drives are going to be upto 40% more expensive to make going forward.. is it really worth it? The only glitch in going SSD is there will be competition beyond the current hard drive companies so that could create competitive problems for companies who only know hard drives. The consumer doesn't care who gets there first at a cheaper price & highest quality. Promises of 6 - 40TB hard drives with HAMR technology are just that promises.. there's nothing that says flash chips can't achieve the same densities in the 10nm process at speeds and reliability that put HAMR to shame. Only R&D can tell which path is worth the gamble. |

From the start, Pentair has been a company driven by vision, while grounded in the practical application of the best available ideas.
A Strong 150 year History
Many of our acquired businesses and their products have a rich history that dates back more than 150 years. Stemmed in innovation, these organizations have designed and engineered some of the most important flow management and heat solution products in the industry.
Spanning the globe and dating as far back as 1859, these product lines have been an integral part of the industrialization of many countries, helping to engineer industry operations in energy and processing - as well as establishing important infrastructure in the construction of power plants and water pipelines.
We are a company comprised of innovators and entrepreneurs. From the first self-regulated heat cable (Raychem) to the pilot-operated safety relief valve (Anderson Greenwood), we hold a number of patents for products essential to today's industries.
The Founding Five
August 31, 1966, Murray Harpole, Vern Stone, Vincent Follmer, Leroy Nelson and Gary Ostrand founded Pentair Industries, Inc. The founders based the name of the company on the Greek root penta-, a reference to the five founding partners.
First Public Offering
The first public offering of Pentair shares occurred on December 6, 1966. Fidelity Bank served as registrar and transfer agent.
Pentair Corporate Charter
Pentair's original corporate charter was quite specific in defining the general nature of the business: "To conceive, design, make, manufacture and see: devices which are inflatable with air and/or gas or substance; and electronic and mechanical devices." In 1968, Pentair updated its charter to indicate that "the corporation has broad business purposes." With this new language, the groundwork was laid for Pentair to become a diversified company in control of its destiny.
The Paper-Led Years
With the purchase of Peavey Paper Mills, Pentair entered the paper industry on June 3, 1968.
While driving Pentair's growth in the paper industry throughout the 1970's, the management team also focused on examining other avenues for growth and began to diversify the business portfolio into industrial products in 1978.
The Tools-Led Years
In 1981, Pentair made its first major investment in a non-paper business, acquiring Porter-Cable, a manufacturer of portable electric power tools. Looking ahead to the future, the team closely examined opportunities for stronger growth and higher shareholder returns. That continued focus on improvement led the company to upgrade its portfolio again, and in 2004, Pentair divested of its tools business and plunged into the water industry.
The Addition of Technical Products
Pentair's first foray into the enclosures industry began in 1988 with the acquisition of Hoffman Engineering Company. In 1994 and 1997 respectively, Pentair entered European markets through the acquisitions of Schroff and Transrack, manufacturers of electronic enclosures. Pentair continued to strengthen its enclosures offerings throughout the 1990's.
In 2005, Pentair enhanced its enclosures business with an acquisition of thermal management solutions and integration services. Rounding out Pentair's already strong technical products portfolio, this acquisition enhanced Pentair's ability to serve the ubiquitous electrical and electronics industries.
Performance Milestone
In 1989, annual sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time. Pentair drove sales to $2 billion in 2004, and just two years later, hit the threshold for $3 billion in sales.
Performance Milestone
On March 4, 1996, Pentair shares (symbol PNR) began trading on the NYSE.
The Water-Led Years
In 2004, Pentair completed the acquisition of Wicor Industries, bringing more than 5,000 passionate employees and market-leading brands such as Sta-Rite, SHURflo and Hypro to the Pentair water portfolio.
With the Wicor acquisition, Pentair solidified its $2 billion water technology business to serve multiple industries worldwide. Today, Pentair continues to strengthen its offering in water technology, bringing innovative solutions to bear on the world's ever-increasing water consumption needs.
Performance Milestone
In 2008, in a joint venture, Pentair and General Electric combined their respective global water softener and residential water filtration businesses to provide reliable and affordable water treatment solutions.
Flood Protection in the Gulf
In 2009, Pentair won its largest contract to date of $65 million for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's expected that the pump station will be the largest in the world, providing flood control throughout New Orleans.
Performance Milestone
In 2009, Pentair and Nano Terra formed a strategic alliance to develop new solutions in water treatment.
Pentair Partners with the Twins
In 2010, under a multi-year sponsorship agreement, Pentair became "The Official Sustainable Water Provider" for the Minnesota Twins baseball organization and Target Field. Pentair donated a Rain Water Recycle System designed to allow the Minnesota Twins to recycle rain water and then use it to wash down the lower decks of the stadium and irrigate the ball field. It's estimated to reduce the need for municipal water at Target Field by over 50 percent, saving more than 2 million gallons of water annually.
Performance Milestone
Pentair returned approximately $80 million to shareholders through dividends and raised its quarterly dividend for the 36th consecutive year for 2012, up 10 percent.
Pentair Today
Pentair is building on past success to ensure an even stronger future. With the acquisition of Tyco Flow Control, we unite two powerful traditions of continuous advancement. As a result, the new Pentair is prepared to lead our industries and deliver significant value. Today, Pentair is the global water, fluid process, thermal management and equipment protection partner with industry-leading products and solutions. Around the globe, our 30,000 Pentair employees apply fresh insights, a collaborative working style and rigorous approaches to create healthier, safer environments for all.

Reflections of Ourselves
The fabric of reality… We create reality, but what exactly is it we create? What, indeed, is reality? Is it matter? It is energy? Are either real?
Quantum physics says that matter is merely a local condensation in the field (the field being an omnipresent entity). Perhaps, then, we are merely Universal Dewdrops, beautiful, insubstantial, ephemeral drops of Cosmic Condensation.
Or ponder this definition of reality: matter is energy reduced to the point of visibility, reduced to limitations, become finite. That would make energy matter expanded to limitlessness, to infinity. Yin and Yang. Equal and Opposite. A flipped coin.
"In the beginning there were no words, yet heaven and earth arose (Tao #1)
It was a vision, a dream, that gave form to energy, that gave matter to reality. Perhaps, then, Reality is Energy focusing on its own Dreams.
Dream Big.

Hibernian midfielder David Wotherspoon caught all of the ball with this stunning strike.
The Scotland Under-21 internationalist let fly with a terrific half volley from 25 yards which left Ryan Esson helpless.
The 22-year-old was praised by his boss Pat Fenlon after the match, which finished 2-2.
Fenlon said: "I'm delighted for him. He's worked really hard pre-season. We had a good chat with him to get his confidence up.
"He's a very good player. He just needed to believe in himself more.
"Both wide players were good for us."

A group of people were travelling in a boat when one of them took a drill and began to drill a hole beneath him.
"Why are you doing this?" his companions said to him.
"What concern is it of yours?" replied the man. "Am I not drilling under my own place?"
And they replied to him: "But you will flood the boat for us all!" (Quoted in Midrash Rabbah, Vayikra 4:6).
This is a teaching from Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the author of the Zohar – the primary text of the Kabbalah. And it's a great example of Jewish mysticism: profoundly deeply, completely practical.
But just based on the story, you would probably say it's simple and obvious. Everybody knows that if you are miles away from the shore, surround by deep and dangerous waters on all sides, it's very clear that drilling a hole under my seat will impact my travel partners in the boat – big time.
Yet somehow the message struggles to be heard in day to day life, and the story's parallel in daily life with family members, friends, co-workers, fellow group goers and teammates is complicated, unclear, and often hidden. Nevertheless, it's there and has an impact like sinking a boat.
What we often fail to recognize is that in many ways we are all like the man with the drill, doing or not doing something in our own lives or to ourselves that greatly impacts others. Yet we are shocked to discover that in truth we can have a near deadly impact on others.
The reason is because things and people do not exist in isolation of each other, they are an interdependent system, impacting and being impact by each other. For example, one irritated family member, depressed parent, or drug addicted teen can send the family spinning, twist and warp its interactions, foil all attempt to right the course, and flood the scene with smoke screen and chaos.
We are also like the other men on the boat, because for every addiction there is a surrounding cast of characters locked into a dance which is the sum total of their behaviors: the addict acts selfishly, ignoring the consequences of their actions and blaming everything on those around them; the enablers shield the addict from the consequence they should be getting (lost job, lost home, destroyed relationships, etc.). It's like one guy starts drilling underneath his seat and everyone joins in to make the hole bigger.
Really they should throw him off the boat until he's ready to behave appropriately.
Simply realizing that your family, co-workers, sports team are in a boat at sea together and each of your individual behaviors affects not only you but the group as a whole, is already a step toward health – you will take responsibility for yourself. In addition, you'll be better prepared to deal with the hole drillers in your life, being careful not to assist them, and ready to toss them overboard until they get it.

If you are a fan of The Beatles, and more specifically, their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP, and you are also a fan of underground-ish hip-hop, then you might really dig this project from the Columbus, OH, based emcee Copywrite. The release is called Carbon Copy's Phony Art Pub Scam and it features original new rhymes over the original old instrumentals. Fun times.
On 4/20, the folks behind the LA TACO blog (celebrating the Taco Lifestyle in Los Angeles) are putting together a great-looking Taco Madness event to coincide with their annual Taco Madness Vote for the city's best taquerias. Check out the Taco Madness 2013 bracket.
Imprint have a great creative conference taking place in Downtown Long Beach on Friday 4/26. The speakers include John Jay (Wieden+Kennedy), Jonathan Gold (LA Times), Jeff Staple, Dengue Fever, Jack Grisham (author/TSOL), Chad Tim Tim (pro skater), Paul Kwon (Skate shoe designer), and many more. The focus is on a) the unique qualities that make Long Beach awesome and b) how creatives and entrepreneurs can bring more to the table. More info here.
British illustrator (and presumably, big hip-hop fan) Mike Skinner has gone and illustrated lots of examples of mentions of fashion labels inside hip-hop songs. You can check them out at Luxury Rap. Music plus fashion plus typography? Clever. Via Design Work Life.
You can stream the latest release from contemporary soul singer Charles Bradley, fresh out from Daptone Records, over at Whudat. It's worth the effort; get to clicking already.
Artist Jay Shells has combined his love of hip-hop and his love of sign-making into one amazing effort which has resulted in official-looking signs, sporting rap lyrics, popping up all over New York. Great idea and execution so I don't mind being the 4 millionth website to post about this. More pictures at Whudat. There's also a Rap Quotes Twitter account.
Jeff Hamada is clearly a man of eclectic tastes in music as well as art; as illustrated by his recent trap music mix called Got Pocahontas on my Yokohamas. I'm far from a trap expert, but this sounds like a blend of contemporary electro-trap and OG trap. It's ironic that they like snares so much in the trap.
For the month of March, Eagle Rock burger mecca The Oinkster and LA record label Friends of Friends are teaming up to celebrate the launch of Shlohmo's "Laid Out" EP. That promotion includes some special items on the menu, including the FoF BBQ BFF Burger, and the Shake of the Month: Shlohmo's Peaches and Lean, as well as limited edition cups, and FoF music on rotation. More at LA TACO.
One of my favorite music blogs, Passion of the Weiss, founded by Angeleno music critic Jeff Weiss, just got interviewed by another one of my favorite LA blogs – LA TACO, "celebrating the taco lifestyle in LA" but managing to cover a whole lotta street art at the same time.
O-Dub has put together a great post over at Soul-Sides, in tribute to the late Donald Byrd, who passed away earlier this month, on February 4th. The Many Flights of Donald Byrd covers some of the major phases of his career, begining with bebop from 1959, and then moving into his exploration of soul jazz and fusion through the '60s and '70s. Amazing stuff. I interviewed Oliver for Imprint Culture Lab last year.

This formula is an Optimal methylation formula with activating co-factor to support the methylation pathway and provide adequate Folinic Acid (leucovorin) for those suffering from
moderate to severe neuro-immune syndromes.
This product is designed to be used in conjunction with the Neuro-Immune Stabilizer Topical Cream that provides the activating co-factors to deliver the additional tetrahydrofolate to support neurological and immune recovery. For those who have high folic acid levels in the blood plasma then it is an assumption that folate is not being converted and entering the nervous sytem, immune system and blood brain barrier. Most often poor methylators will need additional folate.
Niacinamide helps support the mitochondria and supports as a cofactor for the other ingredients.
The typical indications for this product include but are not limited to:
* Presence of Folate Receptor Autoantibodies
*Homozygous (2 copies) MTHFR polymorphism
*Increased requirement for development (age 8-20)
*Acute recovery from major neurological injuries
*Moderate to severe autism spectrum issues
*Recovery from traumatic injury or surgery
(i.e. Head injury, stroke, neuritis, etc...)

Minerals, found in the earth, are elements necessary to vital body functions such as proper nerve function, protein synthesis, proper energy production, skeletal structure, muscle contractions and hormone production. Minerals are important components of enzymes and coenzymes, which are complex proteins that collectively, work like little chemical reactors in the body to speed up important metabolic processes. Mineral supplements thus play an important role in ensuring overall health and wellness.
Mineral Deficiency may include some of the symptoms listed below. Symptoms can vary considerably depending on the mineral involved and the severity of the deficiency.
L-Citrulline has been shown to support memory issues, fatigue, muscle weakness and maintain blood sugar levels. It has been commonly used to increase energy levels and help with chronic fatigue.
L-Ornithine hhas been shown in research studies to help boost the body's immune reaction to bacteria and viral activity. There is some evidence that L-Ornithine may be beneficial for recovery from illness and improved athletic performance, particularly body composition and strength.
Leading Autism Diet & Nutrition GuideIf youre following an autism diet, be sure to have Julies essential autism diet and nutrition guide for parents, nutritionists, and physicians. This comprehensive book provides everything you need to know in order to effectively implement a healing autism diet, understand autism-specific nutrition and necessary supplements for children on the spectrum. The book provides critical resources for every parent that has a child with autism recommended reading, food providers, testing labs, supplement companies, autism professionals and more.
Created by Neuro-Immune Specialist, Dr. Kendal Stewart, Pregnenolone Plus is a custom formula that provides pregnenolone and the active precursor niacinamide for ultimate delivery of pregnenolone and aid in the protection of the mitochondrial. Pregnenolone is the key precursor pro-hormone involved in maintaining sufficient steroid hormone levels in the body. It is the precursor (building block) for other hormones in the body including cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and aldosterone.
Without pregnenolone there can be no human steroid hormone production.
Pregnenolone is known to modulate at least two key nerve receptors systems in the brain: NMDA receptors and GABA receptors. NMDA receptors are involved in learning, memory, and alertness. GABA receptors are involved in mood stability, relaxation, sex drive and sleep.
Niacinamide or otherwise known as Vitamin B3 works with vitamin B1, riboflavin (Vitamin B2), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pantothenic acid, and biotin to break down and convert the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food into energy to help support the mitochondria. The involvement of niacin, an essential B vitamin, in cellular energy production makes it important for healthy cardiovascular function, nervous system function and immune function.
Quality products, including nutritional supplements for ASD, should be specially created to be easy to digest and to assist with the particular needs that result from neuro-immune issues.
Autism is defined as results in differences and or delays in development in the areas of thinking, language, behavior and social skills. Every individual is different but autism results in symptoms in the areas of social interaction, communication and stereotypic behaviors that include restricted range of activities, interests and behaviors.
Nutrition for these types of issues has been widely used by our advising physicians so that we may offer a line of products that are used by physicians, medical experts and parents to help those suffering.
One of our most popular items is Mitochondrial Restore. This supplement was created by renowned Neurotologist/Neuro Sensory Specialist, Kendal Stewart, M.D.
Biotic Boost Autism Supplements assist in digestion and they help to stimulate the immune system. This can result in increased lactose tolerance and prevention of travelers diarrhea and yeast infections.

Sevendust released their ninth studio album, Black Out the Sun, on Tuesday. Now, the metal vets have unveiled the music video for the record's track "Decay." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments.
]]>UPDATE: The poll is closed. For the results, click here.
]]>Sevendust are set to release their new, ninth album, Black Out the Sun, tomorrow, March 26. In anticipation, the band is sharing the video below exclusively with Revolver readers. The clip features the band members discussing four of the songs on the new record: "Dark AM," "Picture Perfect," "Got a Feelin'," and "Murder Bar." Check it out below, and let us know what you think in the comments.
]]>By James Wood
After nearly two decades together, Sevendust remain one of few bands to come out of the '90s with all five original members — John Connolly (guitar), Clint Lowery (guitar), Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Vince Hornsby (bass) and Morgan Rose (drums) — fully intact.
It's a testament to the friendship and musicianship the band brings to their fans and each other night after night, album after album.
Sevendust's ninth studio album, Black Out The Sun (available March 26), is a much grittier, darker release. By using their instincts and taking the second guessing out of the recording process, they've produced a melodic, creative effort, a hybrid of earlier Sevendust albums that fans old and new can appreciate.
I spoke with Connolly and Lowery about Black Out The Sun, guitars and the band's longevity and legacy.
REVOLVER: Black Out The Sun has a different sound for you guys. How would you describe it?
Connolly: It has a totally different vibe about it. It's darker, but with a little bit of hope. There's always that light at the end of the tunnel. When I listen to it, it's almost like a greatest-hits record of songs you've never heard before. There's an album that every one of those songs could potentially live on. There's some stuff that sounds like it might belong on Home, some that sounds like Seasons. Then there are some Alpha moments as well.
Lowery: We didn't over-think the record. It has a spontaneous feel. It has the spirit of our older records, but it's evolved as well. If you're already a fan, it caters to the elements you've always liked. We're proud of this album.
What approach was used for writing songs for the album?
Lowery: It usually comes from an idea or a riff that John or I start. It's us coming up with beats and constructing the skeletal idea of the song from there. Then we'd get the band together to play it with everyone. By that point we'd start arranging it, and vocals are the last thing.
Connolly: There was definitely no shortage of ideas. For this record, we had a writing area behind the live drums in the studio. Whenever someone was in the studio working on parts, any number of us would gather in this writing station and map things out right there on the spot. This was one of those albums where on Monday "Decay" didn't exist and by the end of Tuesday night, it was there.
What amps do you use to get your killer guitar tone?
Connolly: I was always a Marshall guy. I have a 1971 Super Tremolo that's been modded and is by far the best guitar sound I've had. I used to use that to death and quite a bit on the last record. For this album, I decided to give it a break and take the EVH in and see what it could do. We played around with it for about five minutes and we were done. It's such a usable amp. There's so much blue and cohesiveness and clarity in the tone. I was originally one of the early naysayers about it and went in with a real piss poor attitude. But, we opened up the box and I haven't turned it off since. [futureusgallerylaughs]
Lowery: For playing live, we use EVH heads and I use a GCX and run my pedals through that. It's a pretty cut-and-dry sound. We're not like the Edge from U2 using every amp (although I think that's great). For us, it's more of a meat-and-potatoes kind of approach.
Let's discuss how you got started playing guitar.
Lowery: I've been playing from an early age. My dad played guitar and my whole family was into music. I quickly found myself gravitating toward the more progressive players like Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Paul Gilbert. I also loved the pioneers like Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. The guys who could rip the fretboard but could also write killer grooves. Dimebag Darrell was the guy. He could throw down and shred with the best of them, but he also wrote the most amazing monster riffs.
Connolly: I spent the beginning of my life playing drums. When I got to college, I was a percussion major, which is a very loose term of saying you can play the drums occasionally [futureusgallerylaughs]. I was actually a marimba major, believe it or not. One thing that sucked about being a drummer in a band back then was that drummers didn't write a lot and didn't get much respect, so I made the switch.
Dave Grohl actually beat me to the punch by a year and half. I said, "If he can do it, I can do it!" I wasn't even trying to be the singer; I just wanted to write songs. I initially approached the instrument as just a tool just to write, but somewhere along the way fell in love with it.
How did you both approach practicing the instrument back then?
Lowery: I learned a lot of fundamental scales, but wood-shedded for the most part. I was always playing and building my technique with legato and alternate picking. Anything I could do to help increase my speed and accuracy. I've always felt that the more you hold the guitar the better your percentages are for coming up with something cool. The more you play, the more you discover.
Connolly: I went through a period where I was just nuts about playing. There were days where I'd play a minimum of three to four hours, and that was on a "light" day. When we took the off time and did side projects, there was a lot more songwriting and experimentation going on, so the whole idea of practicing guitar that intensely went out the window.
What do you like the most and least about touring?
Connolly: The thing that's most difficult is missing the time at home. We all have families. So it's nice to take breaks. Having said that, for the 18 years we've been together, we've met a lot of really great people from all over the world. That's the cool thing; getting to reconnect with them. We've met a lot of fans and made a lot of friends.
Lowery: The ultimate dream is playing and connecting with the fans. I still get a high from it. The hard part is leaving the family. So there's a trade-off. You have the amazing beauty of being on stage and having the fans sing back your every word, but there's a price for it; missing out on milestone family events. You miss a lot. We're all connected to our families.
What's the secret to the band's longevity?
Lowery: The concept originally was to put together a band with guys you actually enjoyed hanging out with. You have to live with these people on a bus so you need to have mutual respect and consideration for each other.
Connolly: We have a lot of friends in this business, but I don't know too many bands that have all the same five original guys. People see us eating at a Chili's on an off day and they flip out. But the thing that excites them the most is the fact that it's actually all five of us eating at the same table together. [futureusgallerylaughs]
Any advice you can give to aspiring guitarists?
Lowery: I know this may sound cliché to say but, practice makes perfect. Also, if you learn something, try to play the same thing a little bit differently and add your own flavor to it. If you're influenced by Dimebag, try to take it what he did a little further. Always try to expand on what artists have put out there so that one day you can be the person that inspires the next kid that comes along.

When he's not touring or recording with Sevendust — who are in the studio working on the follow-up to 2010's Cold Day Memory — guitarist Clint Lowery stays busy with several other projects, including Call Me No One, HDMS and, earlier this year, the long-awaited reunion of Dark New Day.
DND, which also includes drummer Will Hunt and guitarist Troy McLawhorn from Evanescence, vocalist/guitarist Brett Hestla from Virgos Merlot and bassist Corey Lowery from Stereomud and Eye Empire, released their second album, New Tradition, in February — six years after their debut, Twelve Year Silence.
In 2006, the band released an EP, The Black Porch Acoustic Sessions, and began working on their second album, then titled Hail Mary. Dark New Day were released from their Warner Brothers contract, and the album was put on hold until the band members reunited last year to revisit the tracks and write new songs.
In this interview, Clint Lowery discusses DND's reunion, their loyal fan base and his goals as a guitar player.
REVOLVER: The industry has certainly changed since the first go-round. How did that affect things, if at all, in terms of release and promotion?
I've got to say that with this, it's been a pleasure. Goomba Music is a very hands-on, small, indie record label and Warner Brothers was a bigger machine. There was a lot more money put into the band, a lot more, so it was a bigger campaign, but they're both different and unique. And I'm in a completely different headspace now. Back then we were so excited about it, it was our primary band and we were putting every bit of our energy in it.
This is more like, we have these songs, they're going to be released on this label, we're going to do stuff to promote it, and it's been real loose and a lot less stressful. I think I've enjoyed this a little more. The other album was fun in a completely different way, a different vibe.
It's amazing how loyal the fans have been. Any theories?
I'm amazed by it too. I'm surprised there's anyone out there who was still trying to find these songs. I think it's the mystery of why we went away so fast. We kind of achieved this little cult following because, I think, people are usually force-fed. Bands put out as much as they can until people aren't buying it, and then they go away. With us, we had a really good run on that first record, the momentum was really good and then the band was gone. I think that left people wanting more, instead of us putting out records and burning out.
We would probably be four records deep right now if we had continued. It was one of those things where it was good music, we were very lucky to have put out a good album, and a group of people wanted a follow-up to it. At the end of the day, a good song wins regardless and stands the test of time, and with these guys in this particular band, I think we did some good work. I can say that it's good work and still be modest because I was a fifth of how it went down. I did my part and I was really amazed to play with those guys. They're really good players. I've been lucky to always have a good level of musicianship around me for sure.
How has that taken you to the next level?
When you surround yourself with people who are ambitious in their trade, whatever it is, you naturally excel and learn and you take little bits and shortcuts of what people do. I'm a sponge; I like to absorb what's around me. I've never been in a place where I'm the player that I want to be.
I'm always trying to improve on this or that and it goes in waves. I've been doing this since I was 18 and I'm 40 years old now as far as touring, and I've been playing since I was 11, so it's been a lifelong passion of mine and I'm still into it today. Along the way I've worked with a lot of really good players who have taught me a lot. It's been a wonderful experience.
Where do you see the changes and development, and what are the ongoing goals?
Ultimately, at the end of the day, I would love to be recognized as a guitar player that has his own style. I put a lot of time into it. I've kind of deluded the fact that I can rip a solo with the best of them. I have a lot of speed to my playing and I have a lot of elements that I don't really show within the Sevendust songs as much as I could have. I've held that back a little bit.
I would like to have the opportunity to really shred it up a little bit on the next Sevendust record, make a really honest metal record and pay homage to the influences I grew up with as far as the Steve Vai's and the Iron Maidens, all the guitar players Dio had, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen — I want to pay respect to that because that's where I came from. That's what I do.
A lot of people are adventurous with their solos now. Dimebag Darrell was probably the biggest influence to me, as he was to a lot of people, so I would love to have the opportunity to at least try to be one of the people that are fulfilling that appetite for the really good metal and rock guitar solo.
What does your practice consist of?
I don't practice as much as I did in my earlier days. On the road I do quite a bit; I practice for about an hour and a half before we play. I go over scales and keep my right hand active and my left hand mobile. Every now and then I'll have a phase where I pick up the guitar, and every time I hold it I'm still excited about playing. Some days I feel like I could play anything, and other days I feel like I'm a beginner again.
That's the beauty of this whole thing — you always want … insecure players sometimes make for better players because you're always striving to figure stuff out. I'm a big YouTube junkie; I watch people play on there and get depressed and try to emulate what they do. There are some amazing guys out there. You can sit in your basement and play guitar 24 hours a day and play everything fast as lightning with all this accuracy, but there's a feel that some people have that just can't be practiced or rehearsed. Some people just have it.
Is there a guitar album in your future?
I would love to do that. I think it would be very self-indulgent, but it would be fun to do. It would force me to really concentrate on my playing and focus on woodshedding for a few months before so I'd have something to offer, but that's a good idea. I never thought about it.

1. Bad Company "Great songwriting with Paul Rogers voice makes for an awesome combination. Still to this day, Rodgers has one of the best voices in rock. Timeless music."
2. Temple of the Dog "A great one off from a few of the pioneers of the Seattle scene. Great compilation of music written as a tribute to Andrew Wood."
3. Foo Fighters "Come on! Anything Dave Grohl touches turns to gold. One of the best songwriters in music today hands down. Always keeping it real. The modern-day Tom Petty really."
4. A Perfect Circle "In some ways, this band is what I wished Tool might have morphed into. More simple arrangements and simpler songwriting than Tool, which is ironically what put Tool on the map with "Sober." Awesome songwriting and hooks."
5. Black Country Communion "Time to go to school! Joe Bonamassa is one of the best guitar players in the game and his side band ain't too shabby either. Glenn Hughes voice on top of it all makes for some of the coolest music most folks don't know about."
